you're sitting there, being not
slim, oh my god I just I justdie with a deer in the car, just
every single time it's just soyes and and part of it is
(01:08):
because my, my dad, had a deer'shead and and when we were kids,
the dog freaked out because wetook it out of a box and he
freaked out and was like oh, wowlooking at the thing.
So of course, my sister and Ihad to chase the dog, of course.
Andrew (01:23):
Well, of course, and
later on, the dog chewed the dog
, of course.
Well, of course.
James (01:26):
And later on the dog
chewed the nose off the stuff.
Andrew (01:29):
Oh, my God Wow.
James (01:31):
He got his vengeance.
Andrew (01:32):
I apparently yeah, All
right, so we are.
We are back with with the crewto play some more Phandelver and
below the shattered obelisk.
Very exciting when last we metour intrepid crew, you were in
(01:55):
the crypt.
You were in the crypt with thesarcophagi and sarcophagals.
James (02:07):
I'm sorry, I love that.
Catherine (02:09):
Can I quickly read my
notes?
Andrew (02:10):
from last session.
Oh, please do.
Catherine (02:13):
Here's what I opened
my notebook to Glass Staff.
Master of the Arcane Arts.
Okay, yes, bugbears, nair, theGuardian Swirly Wow.
Andrew (02:31):
This is going to be an
adventure, so you.
James (02:36):
So it's when those things
kick in that it really becomes
fun, because you're like oh yeah, like oh that, because I have
pages of notes like that.
Andrew (02:47):
Exactly.
James (02:48):
So I totally I don't know
, we haven't played this in a
month.
Catherine (02:53):
I approve of your
notes, thank you.
James (02:55):
I'm supportive of your
notes.
Andrew (02:57):
I think it's been more
than a month, right.
Zanros (02:59):
Yeah, I think so.
Andrew (02:59):
It's been over a month,
so you entered the underground
of the former Trescender Manor.
I'm surprised Xanros hasn't putthe sign out front future home
of the Bemble Bumble B&B yet.
Catherine (03:18):
How did it time?
Andrew (03:19):
Maybe soon I'll get
there.
So you came into the basement,there was the whole interaction
with the cistern, the, thecompletely benign cistern that
caused so much, so much trouble.
Um zanros, I believe,intimidated several red brands
(03:39):
into leaving and and iquiumdecided to take an attack of an
opportunity attack on them, andthen they decided to well, fight
back.
So that was genius, um thankyou, you.
You then went into the hallwayand had your, your misadventures
(04:03):
there, and you.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
With Theo.
Andrew (04:08):
Theo Pimble.
I keep forgetting Theo Pimble'sname.
Theo Pimble was with you.
He saved you from falling intothe trap.
You got into the crypt.
You saw the name Trescender.
It means something to Xanros.
However, xanros is not quitesure what that meaning is yet.
It pinged something in herbrain, but not quite sure yet.
(04:32):
So you opened up.
You got the potions, thepotions of healing.
What else did you?
There was that there wassomething else in the one crypt.
Yes, your little, tiny potionsof healing.
James (04:46):
Those are awesome, so
cool.
Fable (04:49):
And I don't know where
they are, because they have been
moved quite sadly.
Andrew (04:55):
So let's see.
So you're in the crypt.
Oh, the jeweled gold bracelet.
Catherine (04:59):
Yes, worth 140 gold
pieces.
Andrew (05:01):
Yes, so you've got that
as well.
That was also in my notes.
Yes, so you've got that as well.
Catherine (05:07):
That was also in my
notes.
Yes, under Nair and Swirly's.
Yes.
Andrew (05:13):
So anybody have any
questions or any other
recollections, or would you liketo yes?
James (05:21):
I have a question because
I think I asked this the last
time.
Andrew (05:27):
Did I not answer it last
time?
Catherine (05:30):
I don't know, but
initially.
James hasn't listened to theepisodes.
Andrew (05:34):
That's right, I forgot.
Yes, ask away.
I am happy to refresh yourmemory or make something new up.
I'm just behind.
James (05:41):
That's all.
Refresh your memory or makesomething new up.
Andrew (05:47):
I'm just behind, that's
all.
There's a difference betweenbeing a little behind and a big
ass.
Zanros (05:54):
Wow, oh, a2 fable.
Fable (06:01):
Wow, ouch, this is a bad
time to mention I also haven't.
James (06:07):
You're all good, You're
being very supportive of me and
I love you for it.
Thank you.
Andrew (06:11):
We're all here.
This is a safe space.
This is a very safe space,except for me.
Catherine (06:17):
Yeah, not for James,
no, not for James Except for me.
Andrew (06:21):
So what was your
question, James?
James (06:30):
for me.
So what was your question?
Andrew (06:31):
james, my question was
am I able to take callie with us
?
As a matter of fact?
You are okay, so would you liketo?
Would you like to summon?
Yes, or do you want to go?
All right?
James (06:40):
well, well, that was.
My next question was can Itelepathically call her?
Andrew (06:49):
So this gets to be a
little tricky.
So you don't have the abilityto speak telepathically.
It's not a skill.
You have teleathy, so right, ordo you?
Maybe I'm am?
(07:10):
I am I misreading yourcharacter sheet?
Forgive?
James (07:13):
forgive me for awakened
mind, you can telepathically
speak to any creature.
Oh, I have to be able to see itwithin 30 feet got it so that
answers that question so.
Andrew (07:27):
So, so that the the
short answer is yes, you can go
get callie, okay.
However, remember, between youand callie are about six
skeletons in a hallway that youlocked in that hallway.
But I have a red cloak oh, thatis true, I forgot.
(07:49):
But Callie, well, I don't wantto.
I was going to say but whatdoes Callie, would they care?
I was going to say you couldsteal the one off of Theo Pimble
and or, remember, remember backin that other, remember, in the
(08:09):
room off to the cistern.
Remember there were othercloaks there as well, so you
could grab a cloak if you wantedto and put it on Callie.
James (08:18):
Well, let's see if that
works.
Andrew (08:19):
Okay.
James (08:20):
Okay, so I will make my
way back through that hallway
over the pit of spikes.
Andrew (08:29):
It wasn't even a pit of
spikes, it was just a hole in
the floor.
Oh, it was just a hole in thefloor.
It was just a hole in the floor.
James (08:33):
Oh, I thought it was like
the whole floor.
Andrew (08:35):
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I just pictured this chasm ofspikes.
No, it was literally like ahole in the floor.
You'd get like two bludgeoningdamage if you fell in there.
Oh, you're much kinder than Iam.
It was nothing.
I know you guys are level twoat this point.
I'm not going to, and theregoes the whole party, and
(08:57):
there's the whole party.
James (08:58):
Welcome to Legends, loot
and TPK.
Andrew (09:00):
That's right, all right,
so you're going to go back out.
Yeah, bring Callie.
Yes.
James (09:08):
With you.
Andrew (09:08):
Okay.
James (09:11):
And.
I'm going to give her a littlered blankie to to to wrap around
her like a little cape.
Andrew (09:17):
Little red, little red
riding hood.
James (09:19):
Yes.
Andrew (09:21):
Exactly.
James (09:22):
Hey, little red riding
hood, what big teeth you got
there.
Catherine (09:29):
oh sorry this was to
a really weird place, just
saying not the first time no,but it's early it is alright.
Andrew (09:39):
So you are now in the
crypt.
The skeletons didn't bother.
Didn't bother either one of you, and where what?
Zanros (09:54):
was that.
James (09:56):
It was.
Andrew (09:58):
Oh, okay, okay, yes,
catherine.
Catherine (10:03):
Nothing.
Oh, I thought you had somethingto say no, I'm just being weird
.
Andrew (10:07):
Okay, so you can.
So you're in the crypt.
To the north of the crypt, inthe northwest corner of the
crypt, is a door In thenortheast.
On the eastern wall, on thenorthern side is another door.
Yes, James.
James (10:30):
I have a question as far
as the orientation of our new
lovely poster-sized map that youhave given us.
Andrew (10:40):
Is that north, if you
notice the big compass on the
map.
James (10:45):
Wow, wow, wow Served
again.
Catherine (10:50):
Okay, in James'
defense.
Andrew (10:52):
Let me draw your
attention to the giant compass
on the map.
Catherine (10:54):
No, no, my.
What do you call this?
Andrew (10:57):
Your dice tray.
Catherine (10:58):
Yeah, my dice tray
was on top of the compass when.
Andrew (11:00):
James was looking Well.
I say that's fair.
It's not James' fault, it'syour fault, it's my fault.
Catherine (11:05):
Stop making fun of
James.
James (11:06):
I am vindicated.
Catherine (11:08):
Just for now.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
That's fine, just for
now.
James (11:14):
It's always the
spellcaster that's the target.
Andrew (11:20):
So you are the weakest
link.
You are the weakest link.
Goodbye, goodbye.
So where, which door would youlike to go through?
James (11:40):
I will defer to Xan
Rosendale, because you know I
might Leroy Jenkins the wholething.
Andrew (11:52):
So in what order?
So let me do this, do a Zanros.
Catherine (11:57):
Yes.
Andrew (11:58):
I'm sorry.
Catherine (11:59):
Yes, oh, I'm sorry.
Andrew (12:01):
Yes, there we go, zanros
.
Give me sorry.
Yes, there we go, xanros.
Yeah, give me a perception.
Check.
Poor Dao.
Dao is in the dank dungeon thatis the basement of the
Tresenderman.
Dao has caught cold 15.
15 no no, no, no, you're good,um, so in the, in that far, but
(12:38):
behind that far northeast,northern eastern door you you
can hear some voices.
Far northeast, northern easterndoor, you can hear some voices.
You can't determine how manyvoices.
There are multiple voices.
(12:59):
There is a conversation beinghad, but that is all that you
can determine.
Catherine (13:12):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Do we feel like
killing stuff that?
Catherine (13:20):
was.
I think that was a double yes.
Andrew (13:23):
How much how are your um
your hit points, um?
You know what are you seven youhave seven left.
Yeah, I have nine seven out oftwelve and you got nine out of
twelve, nine out of twelve.
Okay, I don't know how the helljames is dick.
We've hadweave has 21 hitpoints 21 hit points.
Fable (13:46):
Well, because they didn't
go after him.
Andrew (13:50):
No, no, but he's a
maximum User.
Spellcasters are pretty squishy.
Catherine (13:55):
Yeah, he takes a
licking and keeps on ticking.
Andrew (13:58):
I know Well he is Mr
Glass.
James (14:03):
And Callie has 28 out of
37.
Andrew (14:07):
Okay.
James (14:09):
Although I don't know
that I ever reset hers, or if we
give you that.
Andrew (14:20):
We can assume she's got
how many 28 out of 37.
You can assume that Callie hasmany 28 out of 37.
You can assume that Callie hastaken a short rest at this point
and that's probably back tofull health.
Fable (14:36):
Sounds fun.
I said that sounds fun, right,okay, I said that sounds about
right.
Catherine (14:50):
Okay, so I assume
we're going through that door.
Yes, alright, should we putEquium in front, since he's got
so many hit points, and now foranother episode of front, since
he's got so many hit?
James (15:05):
points.
And now for another episode ofthe wizard meat shield.
Andrew (15:12):
Yes, For months, the red
brands have been capturing
travelers in the area andholding them until they can be
ransomed.
This long room is partitionedinto three areas.
Holding them until they can beransomed Could be friends.
This long room is partitionedinto three areas, with iron bars
(15:32):
walling off the north and thesouth.
Filthy straw lines the floorsof those cells, the hinged doors
of which are secured by chainsand padlocks.
A pair of human women are heldin the cell to the south, while
(15:53):
a human boy is confined to thenorth.
Three red brands stand guard.
They have been taunting.
What you've been hearing isthem taunting the hapless
(16:15):
prisoners.
What would you like to do?
Because you've gone through thedoor at this point?
Catherine (16:26):
correct, so have they
seen us.
Andrew (16:32):
Oh, they already.
They're very aware of yourpresence.
James (16:38):
I suggest I will go
through the door with Callie
first.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Okay.
James (16:44):
Oh, but I'm wearing a red
cloak.
Catherine (16:46):
What's that Please
provide?
James (16:47):
But I'm wearing a red
cloak so, and so is Callie, and
so is Callie, sorry, hey.
Catherine (16:55):
Sorry, I was
reminding Fable to try to tell
us when they're going to cough.
Andrew (16:59):
Yes, please.
Catherine (17:00):
My bad.
Andrew (17:14):
So Equium and Callie
have entered the chat with their
red brand capes on.
What would you like to say tothese three other red brands?
James (17:20):
I'm going to walk through
the door.
I'm like can you believe thisguy?
He learned how to turn into awolf Amazing, have you seen this
trick?
Andrew (17:29):
So, what are you trying
to do?
Are you trying to um?
Are you?
Are you trying to deceive them?
Are you trying to intimidatethem?
Okay, so then roll fordeception 19 plus two 21.
Boom.
So they are all taken aback.
They completely believe youthat somehow this red brand has
(17:54):
turned into a large dire wolfand they're just like oh my God,
what happened?
James (18:04):
We were having a drink
and he said dude, you cannot
even believe what I learned howto do, and he did it.
But I can't get him to turnback now.
Andrew (18:16):
Is he friendly?
James (18:21):
Go ahead give him
scritches.
I don't know if that wouldoffend him I haven't.
I haven't petted him, to beperfectly honest with you.
Andrew (18:30):
So.
So let's see here Animalhandling is a wisdom Alright, so
they are going to Roll ananimal handling check I got to
find where's my good D20.
I've got too many dice in here.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
What.
Andrew (19:00):
You heard me.
I said I have too many dice.
I admit it, okay.
James (19:08):
You've hurt me with that
one.
That's what really hurt.
You can say anything you like,but saying you have too many
dice, that's just not right.
Andrew (19:19):
So, oh, okay, so they
all roll reasonably.
So you tell me, since you havethe bond with Callie, the lowest
they rolled was a 10 for animalhandling.
Is that enough to preventCallie from attacking?
James (20:02):
Well, do you want me to
roll like I don't know?
Would it be a charisma?
Roll on her behalf.
Andrew (20:11):
That's a good question.
James (20:14):
To see if she reacts,
because if it's a charisma, roll
, it would probably be easierfor her because she's got low
charisma.
Andrew (20:23):
Not to me, of course.
I think it's just completely upto you.
I don't think, I don't thinkhow he needs to roll, just what.
What do you think?
What do you think?
Because you, like I said,you're, you're bonded to callie
I think so uh I think she'll bereally pensive.
James (20:35):
She'll sit, she'll sit
down.
Oh okay, she'll just sit, gotit and be like yeah, I think her
reaction is more like I, I'llwait this out until I eat them,
or you know what have you.
But she'll be chill because I'm, you know, All right.
(20:57):
It's kind of our little act oflike her almost attacking me but
just rolling over Right, right,right.
You know, giving bellyscritches, and she might even
she might even do that to theperson who rolls highest.
Andrew (21:09):
So one of the, so one of
the red brands asks you, have
you, have you tried a healingpotion?
Do you have any healing potionsor anything?
What have you, what have youtried to to get him to turn back
into a human?
James (21:23):
Well, I gave him a flag
of a flag and a veil, but I
don't have any.
Andrew (21:27):
That's not going to get
him drunk.
James (21:30):
Well, we were getting
drunk at the time, so you know.
But he's either forgotten orsomething, I don't know.
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Hmm.
Andrew (21:43):
All right.
So what do you?
James (21:46):
Well, we came to relieve
you Because I figured they're
going to be terrified of him asa dog.
Andrew (21:53):
Okay, so now this is a
new deception.
So the first deception was thatCallie was a red brain that
turned into a dire wolf.
Now you're trying to deceivethem that you are.
You are their relief absolutelyten sigh crying out loud.
(22:23):
We just started our shift, whywould you be here to relieve us?
James (22:36):
Yeah, I think I have one
too many.
Zanros (22:39):
Okay.
Andrew (22:41):
You should go dunk your
head in the cistern and sober up
.
James (22:44):
There's something in
there.
I swear it.
I'm not going to do that.
I might let him drink out of it, but hey, something in there.
Andrew (22:56):
Don't you know that we
don't have it?
We've been drinking from thecistern all the time.
We don't have any problem withit.
What's?
James (23:06):
your problem with the
cistern.
That explains a lot Just water.
Andrew (23:09):
Excuse me, what Meow.
Just goes over their heads.
So what would you like to?
Catherine (23:25):
do so am.
Andrew (23:29):
I correct to assume
these dumb dummies haven't seen
us yet.
Well, because Callie is so big,it's in the door Between Iquium
and Callie.
They're kind of blocking theview past the door, so they're
not yet able to see you, so theydon't know what's going on.
Catherine (23:43):
The element of
surprise.
Andrew (23:44):
Beyond that, and Theo,
don't forget, theo was with you.
Catherine (23:50):
Freaking Theo Pimble.
Andrew (23:52):
Yes.
Catherine (23:56):
Shouldn't they know
Theo Pimble?
Andrew (24:00):
But they can't see Theo
Pimble.
Catherine (24:01):
I know, but look who
we sent Theo Pimble in.
Andrew (24:04):
Is Theo Pimble on your
side or their side?
Catherine (24:06):
That's a great
question.
That's a great question.
James (24:10):
I.
Andrew (24:13):
What would you like to
do?
James (24:25):
I mean I'd like to
Eldritch Blast them all, but
that's.
Catherine (24:28):
Of course you would.
That's me.
That's Equium's go-to move,eldritch Blast.
James (24:37):
Oh, so, until he so in
all seriousness, until he so in
all seriousness, until he, like,until this wears off, so he
doesn't, you know, eat us.
Maybe we should keep him inhere.
I'm willing to watch himbecause I've been with him for,
(25:00):
like it's hilarious, he'srolling over like asking for
belly rubs, the whole you knowdoing, the whole dog thing, and
you know what do I know?
Like, yeah, I mean, I saw ithappen.
Andrew (25:13):
It's pretty incredible
well, okay, so we, we could, so
so we can take the.
We can take the little kid,yeah, we can take him out of
that cage, lock him up with the,the two women, and, and we can
take the little kid, we can takehim out of that cage, lock him
up with the, the two women, and,and then we can put, we can put
this guy in in that cell, waittill hopefully he changes and
(25:35):
and leave him locked up there.
James (25:38):
Okay.
Andrew (25:38):
All right, yeah, we can
do that.
James (25:40):
Um so, since I'm in sight
range of Callie, yes, so since
I'm in sight range of Callie yes.
I, so I know that they havekeys, mmm.
Any suggestions, because I'mall.
I'm all for it and I want to go.
You just want to kill him,don't you?
Catherine (26:03):
see, I'm thinking
Zanros is tiny and zanros is
stealthy.
Can zanros get in, pickpocketthe keys and then we just let
those guys go on their way?
James (26:16):
well, they just started
their ship.
My thought was they're not.
They're not going anywhere sayhey look, we'll take over for
you.
Catherine (26:22):
And yeah, I mean,
then let's kill him.
They feel so excited.
James (26:32):
Okay, Okay so so I'll,
I'll, I'll go into the full act
of trying to pull Callie by acollar or collar or harness or
whatever, and and she'll resist.
So she'll.
I have no strength trying topull Callie by a collar or
harness or whatever, and she'llresist.
So she'll.
I have no strength.
(26:52):
She'll easily pull me acrossthe floor Like I'll make a good
show of it.
Andrew (26:55):
Right right.
James (26:56):
As they're trying.
I'm like I'm gonna need you toopen the door.
I'll get him to go in, but hemight not cooperate.
And I start pulling the collartowards where the kid is.
Andrew (27:14):
All right.
So one of the red brands withthe keys goes over, unlocks the
lock, takes the chains off thedoor, opens the door, he starts
dragging the kid out of the lock.
Takes the chains off the door,opens the door, he starts
dragging the kid out of the celland getting out of the way.
So he's now going to go over tothe other cell.
(27:35):
And what are you doing whilehe's just moving that?
James (27:39):
prisoner as he's moving
across the moment he opens the
door, moving across, yeah, themoment he opens the door, I am
telekinetically telling callieto hold me, to break free, right
so when both the doors are open, and then I'll just start
yelling he's loose, he's loose,he's loose, and he just goes
(28:01):
into full anger mode towardsthem.
Andrew (28:06):
All right, so both cells
are open because the one red
brand is trying to toss the kidinto that cell.
So now Callie has broken loose.
James (28:17):
Callie will break loose.
Yes, as soon as the other guyopens the other door with the
kid, that's when Callie willbreak loose cause confusion.
Andrew (28:28):
Now are you attacking?
Or what's the purpose of Calliebreaking loose and causing
confusion, because now there'sjust chaos.
Zanros (28:39):
Yeah.
Andrew (28:40):
So the prisoners are
there.
The three red brands are there.
They're trying to figure outwhat's going on.
They're more concerned abouttrying to control his dog.
So the one guy is with theprisoners.
I think he's going to.
James (28:58):
When he opens the door
and he's taking the kid in, okay
, yes, callie breaks loose, allright, and we're going to do our
whole little bit that we've kidin.
Okay, yes, callie breaks loose,all right, and we're going to do
our whole little bit that we'vedone in towns before.
She's going to pick me up inher mouth, right, and I'm going
to go get in the cage, saveyourselves, and if they go out
(29:19):
the door then you guys attackthem, but if they get in the
cage we just lock them up and welet the other prisoners loose.
Catherine (29:29):
And then, what are we
gonna do with these locked up
red brands?
James (29:33):
Leave them to rot?
I don't know.
Zanros (29:36):
In my B&B.
Yeah, well, you know I alreadyhave to reimagine this room.
I don't really see a reason I'mgoing to need a prison Wine
cellar.
James (29:52):
It's a wine cellar.
Yeah, You've got threesommeliers.
With intimate knowledge.
Zanros (30:01):
I don't think these
idiots know anything about wine.
Andrew (30:05):
They're very familiar
with the cellar itself.
Yes, so, okay.
So now you're trying to deceivethem again.
So roll a deception, roll fordeception.
James (30:19):
Roll a big.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Uh-oh.
James (30:28):
Five, five.
Wait, let me roll the other oneand see what it would have been
on this.
Now I know better.
Andrew (30:36):
Oh no, so they are not
convinced to run into the cell
and lock themselves in it.
So that plan does not work.
So they.
Now you're in Callie's mouth,correct, Okay?
James (30:57):
Callie drops me, I hit
Eldritch Blast.
Andrew (31:02):
So you're going to, I'm
going to attack them.
Which one are you going toattack, or is's eldritch blast
an area of effect?
James (31:10):
uh, no, no, it's specific
, it's so which?
Andrew (31:14):
which one of them, which
one of the three?
So there's two, there's twothat are in that scent, kind of
right in that middle of thatroom, yeah yeah.
And then there's one the one ison the Southern, at the
Southern door, with the the kid.
He just threw the kid into thatcell.
So you've got one at the door,one at the door of the cell.
James (31:34):
The one towards the
middle, the one in the cell.
Andrew (31:37):
I don't want to hit the
kid, so Okay, you want to hit
one of the other two.
James (32:01):
One.
You want to hear one of theother two.
One of the other two.
Andrew (32:08):
Okay, okay, that an
eight.
So in all of the chaos, youcast Eldritch Blast because you
just hit the floor.
Shorty got low, low, low, low,sorry.
Ickum got low, low, low, low,sorry, ickum got low, low, low,
low.
So in all this chaos, youhitting the floor, you cast
(32:33):
Eldritch Blast.
It kind of zaps right inbetween the two red brains in
the room and completely,completely misses them.
Okay, roll for initiative.
Fable (32:57):
I'll be a four.
Andrew (32:58):
Twelve, sixteen.
Hang on Dal Dal Four FourXanros Twelve Ikwin 16.
Hang on Dow Dow Four FourZanrose 12.
James (33:08):
Equine 16.
Right and Uh.
Andrew (33:15):
Yes.
James (33:16):
Should I roll for Callie
or is?
Andrew (33:19):
my Callie, callie will,
callie will, attack on your,
your initiative.
Okay, all right.
Now I got to roll for three redbrands, all right, all right,
(33:47):
oh so Equium, equium, the redbrand one of the two red brands
(34:18):
that you just missed is going tonow come and attack you, and
(34:40):
they are going.
They're coming at you with ashort sword, they're gonna take
a swing.
James (34:43):
I assume an eight does
not hit.
An eight does not hit, no,they're going to take a swing.
I assume an eight does not hit.
An eight does not hit.
Andrew (34:49):
No, okay.
So again, in all the chaos,they come at you, take a swing,
completely Again.
They just this Eldritch Blastcame at them.
They kind of ducked out of theway and just took a quick swing
at you and completely,completely missed.
Now, equium it is.
You're up again, okay.
Okay, because I?
(35:10):
I assume that was a surpriseattack, because they weren't,
they weren't expecting it.
So now, so now you and callieboth get to attack.
So now there is there's onethat's a little bit closer to
you because he just took theswing at you.
There's one a little bitfurther back and there's the one
at the southern cell that justthrew the kid.
Just threw the kid in.
He's been locking up the cell,so the the prisoners are still
(35:32):
still secured, and he's nowstanding in front of the gate
looking at you as well.
James (35:41):
I'm going to go for the
one that's closest to me
Eldritch Blast 14.
Andrew (35:50):
14 will hit, so you
definitely make contact.
James (36:05):
Very ominous music Um 10.
Eight points of damage eightpoints of damage.
Andrew (36:27):
You, you, you hit him
just square in the chest,
knocking him back and basicallyknocked the wind out of him.
That was a significant blow.
And now Callie.
James (36:47):
Callie, she is going to
bite and that's a 19.
And which one is she biting,I'd say the one that's by the
(37:20):
gate.
Andrew (37:22):
OK, got it.
So 19 does just definitely hits.
James (37:37):
Six points of damage
again.
Andrew (37:43):
Piercing damage.
James (37:44):
Correct, it's the teeth
yes, it's piercing damage and it
has to no, that says if thetarget is a creature, it must
succeed on a DC 13 strengthsaving throw or be moved from.
Andrew (37:59):
Got it.
James (37:59):
But that's a creature,
not a.
Andrew (38:02):
Not a human.
James (38:02):
I'm assuming, not a human
.
Andrew (38:04):
I do not believe humans
are creatures.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
Maybe he's a creature
of habit, maybe, oh, okay.
Andrew (38:13):
Sister betrayal, does he
wear a habit?
So anyway.
James (38:18):
I don't know.
He's got a cape now Like he'sgoing to go through the whole
costume thing.
Andrew (38:21):
Oh my God, totally A
little trunk that we have to
drag around, that's right.
What?
James (38:24):
Kali's outfits are.
Andrew (38:26):
So Kali picks up this
red brand in her mouth, kind of
gives him a little shake, teethdig in into the flesh of the leg
and does again, does somepretty good damage, and then
kind of, as she's shaking, justdrops him, drops him back in
front of the, in front of theprison cell, excellent.
(38:47):
And then comes up Zanros.
So you're outside of the room,zanros.
So basically, james is kind ofup front, equium is up front,
just hit the one guy, yep, sothere's two kind of near each
(39:10):
other, on the eastern wall, kindof on the eastern side of that
room, that center room, there'sthe one guy now that's also been
attacked.
That's in front of the southerncell door.
So those are the three redbrands that are in there.
Catherine (39:28):
All right, so I want
to go for one of the guys that's
up against the wall.
Can I run in there Because I'dlike to use my quarterst?
But I gotta get closer yes, youcan do that okay all right,
(39:57):
let's roll with this guy.
That's disappointing.
Andrew (40:03):
So 10.
10 to hit.
Yeah, you, just, you take aswing and they just at the last
(40:25):
momenter veer back and and you,you miss them, just just missed
hitting them.
Is that your entire turn um?
What would you?
What else?
Catherine (40:28):
no, I'm thinking I'd
like to use my bonus action for
flurry of blows.
Andrew (40:34):
Let's take a look at
flurry of blows.
Okay, so you're going to taketwo unarmed strikes?
Catherine (40:48):
Yep, Because I'm
pissed so I throw the
quarterstaff down.
Okay, okay, ohaff down, okay,okay, oh, my God.
Fable (40:58):
Seven.
Andrew (41:03):
Your fury, the fury of
blows.
You're so furious that yourflurry just does not connect on
the first shot, 19.
19.
Catherine (41:13):
You come back with
the other not connect on the
first shot, 19.
Andrew (41:14):
19.
You come back with the otherhand the back slap, no, the
forward slap, the forward slap.
You just completely missed.
But that back slap definitelyconnects.
Zanros (41:32):
Okay.
Catherine (41:35):
I got to do my damage
roll right yes, how much.
Andrew (41:38):
Now, which one were you
going after?
Are you going after the onethat James just hit with
Eldritch Blast?
Catherine (41:42):
no one of the ones
against the wall well, that's
one of them.
He already hit no, there's onewith no damage correct him.
Andrew (41:49):
Oh okay, seven, seven
points of damage.
Catherine (41:54):
wow Okay, seven.
Andrew (41:56):
Seven points of damage.
Wow, that's a hearty slap Forall of the effort that you put
into the quarterstaff attack andthe other unarmed attack.
All that energy has beenbuilding up inside of you and
(42:18):
you just came right back andjust like this red brand spun
around.
You slapped him so hard.
Slap you into next week.
Basically, that is basicallywhat you have done to this red
brand.
Get out of my B&B next week.
Basically, that is basicallywhat you have done to this red
brand.
Get out of my B&B, alright.
(42:39):
So now that this one has spunaround and recovered, it is
going to come right back andattack you with its short sword.
Zanros (42:49):
Mm-hmm.
Andrew (42:58):
Does a 13 hit?
It does not.
So again, still recovering fromthe slap that was heard around
the world, tried to swing at youwith a short sword.
Just completely, completelybiffed it and did not hit you.
That's right, hang on, I gottamove some stuff around.
Catherine (43:23):
Xanra's a small but
mighty.
James (43:25):
Yes, fury of the small.
Andrew (43:30):
Alright, so now I'm just
looking at my order of
initiative.
So All right, so now I'm justlooking at my order of
initiative.
So now the one that Callieshook and dropped is going to
come back now and try to make anattack on Callie.
James (43:50):
Okay.
Andrew (43:52):
And try to give some
payback.
Does a 12 hit, callie?
It does not.
Again, these guys are.
Catherine (44:04):
These guys are like
stormtroopers, wow.
Andrew (44:07):
They are really
struggling.
They are really struggling.
Thank God, I'm rolling this d20because it is.
May the odds be ever in yourfavor and they are.
So that was the third guard.
Now, dao, you are still out inthe crypt.
Would you like to join thebattle?
Fable (44:29):
Yes, I want to go for the
one that's attempted to get
Xanris next okay, alright.
I'm going to do hold the deadso I can do a wisdom save.
Andrew (44:49):
I'm sorry.
What do a wisdom save?
A wisdom save.
A wisdom save.
Well, considering that this redbrand has a minus one for
(45:17):
wisdom, I guess that Nat onebecomes a zero man they're
Catherine (45:20):
pretty dumb.
Andrew (45:21):
Wow, okay, again, you
know it's, it's amazing.
It's amazing for how dumb theyare.
They still are not deceived byit, Right?
Catherine (45:34):
We've all got a
moment.
We've all got our.
We've all got a moment.
We've all got a moment ofclarity.
James (45:38):
That's right clearly I
have to take a feat in theatrics
or something oh, totallyalright, so they failed.
Andrew (45:48):
They failed their wisdom
.
Save clearly oh yeah so what'shappening?
Four damage four damage,clearly, oh yeah.
So what's happening for damageand what type of damage is that?
Fable (46:03):
Product.
Catherine (46:05):
Oh, that sucks.
Andrew (46:06):
So this one, this one
now.
So took, took the the bitchslap from Xanros, spun around,
swung at Xanros with his shortsword and now just suddenly
feels the life force beingsucked right from out of him.
Fable (46:31):
He's just that's what he
gets.
Andrew (46:33):
Yeah, really.
Catherine (46:35):
Sucks to be from out
of him.
He's just that's what he gets.
Yeah, really Sucks to be him.
So there.
Zanros (46:39):
Suck.
Andrew (46:40):
All right.
So now we are back at the topof the order, and again, this
red brand isn't very smart.
Should know that Kali isprobably the bigger threat.
James (46:59):
It's going to come after
me.
Andrew (47:01):
Well, let's say, I want
to see who.
Where is my?
Here we go, I'm going to seewhich one of you this one is
going to come after one, one,two, three, four, this one, so
(47:27):
this is the one that Iquium hit,but just seeing that attack by
Dall, it's going to go after her.
Well, this D20 is not doing meany favors, dall.
(47:49):
So let's see.
Does a 10 hit?
No Okay, then See these guys.
Does a 10 hit?
No Okay.
Then see, wow, they are notdoing well.
James (48:03):
I'm surprised they had
the key to the cell.
Andrew (48:05):
Right, oh my god, it's
the one cell they had and it's
shared.
So, equium, that's up to younow, you and Callie.
Eldritch Blast and that's a 14and which one are you going
(48:28):
after?
James (48:29):
the one that hit me
initially the one that just
attacked try to just attack.
Andrew (48:34):
That Okay good.
Um, so you definitely.
This elder blast willdefinitely hit.
James (48:41):
Okay, so that is eight
points of damage.
Andrew (48:54):
Equium.
James (48:59):
How would you like to do
this?
The Eldritch Blast, hits him inthe chest and it's like a
streak of crackling energy hitshim and it just makes his body
writhe and he just slumps over.
Wow, nice Excellent body writheand he just slips out.
Wow, nice, excellent.
(49:20):
And then, uh, cali yes going tobite the guy that was by the
cell that she did before.
Andrew (49:40):
Right, uh, that is a 10.
Callie takes a bite at this redbrand, but fortunately the red
brand is able to just ever soslightly get out of the way of
of callie's bite.
Okay, so didn't, didn't quitemake it.
That leads us now.
(50:02):
That's that's.
James (50:03):
That's your turn, right
um, I have a question yeah and
because I didn't see this before, but callie gets advantages on
attack rolls if a creature, ifat least one of the wolf's
allies, is within five feet ofthe creature and the ally isn't
incapacitated.
Andrew (50:25):
Okay, good to know for
next turn.
Okay, but yes.
James (50:31):
No, that's fine.
Andrew (50:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
absolutely that's cool.
James (50:36):
I was always assuming it
was, you know, wolves, but it's
allies you are all.
Andrew (50:44):
This is this being pride
month.
You are all allies excellentjust had to throw that in there.
Happy pride month, everyone.
So yeah, so next turn.
You can definitely do advantageon on that.
So this brings us up to zanroszanros.
(51:06):
What would you like to do?
So now, okay, there is.
There is the, the one red brandthat attacked Dao that Equium
just killed.
There's the one still that youwent after initially they are
still standing, but barely andthere's the guard in front of
the gate, in front of the cellas well, that Callie just went
(51:29):
after but did not get to.
Catherine (51:33):
Okay, I'm going to go
back for the guy that I
backhanded, cool.
Oh my god, these rolls Ten.
Andrew (51:41):
Again.
You Are you trying to do thequarterstaff again?
Yes, okay, so you take a swingwith the quarterstaff and he
just kind of dips.
Does that little neo move anddodges out of the way.
He dodged, he dodged, he ducked, he dipped, he dived and he
(52:06):
dodged.
Did he sidestep?
No sidestepping.
James (52:12):
Okay, not yet Ask him for
Okay, not yet.
Ask him for a friend.
Andrew (52:16):
Got it.
Is that your turn, Zanros?
So again, because you just wentafter this one, he's going to
come right back at you.
Does a 15 hit.
Catherine (52:36):
My.
Andrew (52:37):
AC is 15.
So it does, it does connectAlright.
Finally, finally, a red branddoes some damage.
Not a whole hell of a lot,though.
(52:57):
Three points, three points ofpiercing damage.
Fable (53:03):
Now that leaves so what
are you at, Samuels Six?
Zanros (53:13):
Are you?
Andrew (53:14):
gonna do no, so that
your turn was done.
So what are you at Samuels Six?
Are you going to do no?
So your turn was done.
So that was the other red brand.
So now the third red brand, theone by the cell, is going to
come back after Callie again andis definitely not going to hit
with an eight.
Fable (53:31):
So and is definitely not
going to hit with an 8.
Andrew (53:34):
So so that red brand
misses, and that brings us up to
Del.
It is your turn.
What would you like to do andwho would you like to attack is
the one that attacked Xanderstill alive.
Fable (53:51):
Yes, I just missed him.
Go for it and I'm going to dotoll the dead again Is the one
that attacked.
Catherine (53:54):
Xander still alive.
Yes, I want that one.
Speaker 4 (53:56):
Go for it.
Fable (53:57):
And I'm going to do Toll
the Dead again.
Speaker 4 (53:59):
So I can do another
Wisdom save.
Fable (54:02):
Yes, eldrick's Blast, I
have Toll the Dead 18?
Andrew (54:06):
Damn, that doesn't help
you.
Huh, is it half damage, or I?
Fable (54:13):
don't.
No, not it half damage or Idon't no, not even half damage.
Andrew (54:35):
Oh wait a second.
Did you?
Did you roll 1d12 last time?
Yes, oh, you did, okay.
Yeah, because it sucked.
Yeah, okay, got it okay, so,yeah.
So they succeeded on theirwisdom saving throw, so no
attack there.
Now we're gonna go back up tothe top.
And because the one red brandis dead, that leaves us to Iguam
and Kali once again oh, okay,so so that leaves us to Iguium
and Kali once again, oh okay.
(54:58):
So there's the one that Zanrosand Dal have been going after,
okay, and there's the one infront of the prison cell that
Kali has been trying to attack.
James (55:10):
I'll go after that one.
Andrew (55:11):
Okay.
James (55:18):
Seven.
Andrew (55:21):
Not quite, not quite,
not quite.
So what would Callie like to do?
James (55:25):
Callie would like to
invoke the pack tactics this
time and.
I'm going to roll withadvantage for you, callie, nat
20.
Andrew (55:33):
Oh shit.
James (55:35):
So that's a 25.
Andrew (55:38):
That just hits.
James (55:39):
Just hits.
Andrew (55:40):
Just hits.
James (55:41):
That's good to know.
Catherine (55:45):
Is that red brand
wrapped in metal?
Andrew (55:49):
The red brand should
have gotten itself At this point
.
He should have put himself inthe cell with everyone else.
James (55:55):
I tried to get them to go
.
I know right, that's 10 pointsof damage.
Catherine (56:01):
James Iquium how
would you like?
Andrew (56:04):
to do this one Now.
Callie has this red brain inher mouth.
James (56:10):
I would say at a nat 20,
she goes for the throat, oh, and
she just shakes him like a ragdoll.
Andrew (56:19):
She chomps down, hits
the jugular, so there's just
blood spurting out as she shakesthis thing back and forth in
her mouth.
James (56:29):
It's a guy.
Andrew (56:31):
It's a rag doll.
It is a rag doll to Callie.
Nice Just shakes this thing todeath.
Just blood everywhere.
It is a mess and Callie ishaving the time of her life.
It's like yay, Exactly.
James (56:48):
And we get this face,
this derpy face.
Andrew (56:51):
Oh, it just disappeared.
Catherine (56:54):
Nom nom nom.
Andrew (56:58):
Exactly Happy Callie.
James (57:03):
All right is that your
turn?
That is my turn.
Andrew (57:05):
All right, zanros, you
are up.
One red brand left.
Catherine (57:10):
Quarterstaff.
I'm going to hit somebody withmy quarterstaff let's hope so
they're all rolling like craptoday, so I don't know which one
.
Andrew (57:19):
To 24 nice was it a nat
20 or?
Catherine (57:27):
no, it was an 18 and
I have a plus 6.
Oh jeez yeah okay.
Andrew (57:31):
Well, that definitely
hits.
You are definitely gonna whackthis red brand with your
quarterstaff.
Catherine (57:36):
Yay, okay, so 1d6.
Oh, it's just a regular die.
Speaker 4 (57:44):
I do that every time

Catherine (57:50):
Six.
Andrew (57:52):
Zanros.
Catherine (57:53):
Yes.
Andrew (57:55):
How would you like to do
this?
Catherine (57:57):
So, I would like to
take my quarterstaff.
Zanros (58:03):
I'm going to start to
the side so that I can do a full
spin and swing right into thisguy's stupid head and hit him so
hard.
Andrew (58:17):
So are you going to?
You're going to have to.
I think you're going to have tojump to.
Catherine (58:21):
I can't hold it high
enough.
I'm like three foot five.
Andrew (58:26):
I guess you could.
Catherine (58:27):
The quarterstaff is
long.
James (58:28):
Yeah, okay.
Catherine (58:29):
Yeah.
James (58:29):
I mean comparably in size
, or Zandrus' size compared to
the quarterstaff it's more likea buck and a quarter
quarterstaff.
Andrew (58:36):
Right, really, it's
really.
Yeah, it's like a yardstick.
Catherine (58:42):
Yeah, I can hold that
up, Okay sure.
And spin around.
You're going to spin around.
And whack that guy so hard inthe head that his eyes roll back
right before he drops dead.
Andrew (58:52):
Nice yeah that his eyes
roll back right before he drops
dead Nice, yeah.
So you just this.
This your quarterstaff justhits him so square, like right
in the temple.
He just again.
He, because you were spinning,he is now spinning.
You have spun him right round,baby, right round, like a record
(59:22):
.
He spins around and justcrumbles to the floor and these
red brands are dispatched.
Yay.
James (59:32):
Congratulations, were any
of them wearing the apple-b
apple bottom jeans and the bootswith the fur?
Andrew (59:38):

Oh, nars, nars.
James (01:04:09):
Oh Nars, mr Gnarly, nars,
dude Excellent.
Andrew (01:04:19):
The red brands murdered
my husband.
Zanros (01:04:23):
Yeah.
I mean those guys suck.
Andrew (01:04:28):
They were going to kill
all of us.
Zanros (01:04:30):
Sounds right.
Andrew (01:04:31):
But I told them I've got
very wealthy family that live
in Neverwinter and they wouldpay them.
They would pay for our safereturn.
So they've kept us alive Whiletrying to Come up with a ransom
plan To get money from my family.
Zanros (01:04:49):
Wealthy family you say.
Are they looking for anyInvestment opportunities?
Fable (01:04:56):
Would you like to know
About the Bumble Bumble B&B
Wealthy family you say.
Are they looking for anyinvestment opportunities?
Would you like?
James (01:04:59):
to know about the Bumble
Bumble B&B.
I love the shameless marketingand you know the whole business
package.
Hustlers gotta hustle.
Catherine (01:05:13):
Zeros has a singular
goal, Like total respect.
James (01:05:15):
It is that singular focus
that I think is fantastic.
Catherine (01:05:19):
She knows what she
wants.
She's going to get it.
Andrew (01:05:26):
Well, I have nothing to
offer you right now.
I know where you might be ableto find something that is quite
valuable.
I'm listening.
Years ago, when we fledThundertray.
Obviously yes who wouldn't, yes, the undead overran Thundertray
(01:05:54):
.
Yes, the undead overran ThunderTree.
Catherine (01:06:00):
We had an urban
alchemy shop there.
Andrew (01:06:05):
As one does.
Inside the shop is an emeraldnecklace Hidden underneath a
section of the storage shelves.
We never went back to get it,it was just not safe.
The shop is in the southeasternpart of Thundertree.
(01:06:25):
If you go there and it is, ifit's safe, you are more than
welcome to it it's very generousof you very generous of you.
I'm just grateful that yousaved us.
Zanros (01:06:49):
I just appreciate you
not doing any additional damage
to the property.
What were we going to do?
We were locked in these cells.
Andrew (01:06:54):
You're not doing any
additional damage to the
property.
What were we going to do?
We were locked in these cells.
Zanros (01:06:59):
You could have used the
walls to like tick off the days,
and then I would have had tofill all that you could have
tried to tunnel to the outside.
Andrew (01:07:09):
This is solid rock what?
Zanros (01:07:12):
are we tunneling with?
Listen, I heard a story about aguy who used a rock yes, a rock
pick that he hid behind aposter to dig his way out of
prison.
So it's not impossible, youjust need to have a little
imagination and somestick-to-itiveness.
James (01:07:30):
Do you know the Dufresnes
from Neverwinter?
Are you familiar with them?
Zanros (01:07:38):
No, a guy named Red.
James (01:07:43):
It was at that moment
that Andrew knew it had all gone
horribly, horribly wrong.
Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
Oh my.
Catherine (01:07:55):
Fable definitely
doesn't get the reference.
James (01:07:56):
That's all right, I don't
, you and me Dufresne, thick as
thieves.
Catherine (01:08:01):
Shawshank Redemption
Freak movie, both a book and a
movie.
Well, a novella and a movie Anovella.
Andrew (01:08:10):
All right, so you've now
rescued the three prisoners.
James (01:08:15):
Yes.
Andrew (01:08:17):
Which were Myrna, myrna
Dendrar.
Nars and Nilsa.
Nars and Nilsa.
James (01:08:25):
Nars and Nilsa.
Are they of the Swedishpersuasion?
Andrew (01:08:29):
I believe they are.
James (01:08:32):
And the fleem it goes.
A fleep, a fleep, a fleep theyare, and the fleeming goes
a-fleepy-fleepy-fleepy.
Andrew (01:08:37):
And so Myrna told you
about the family heirloom.
That is your.
If you so choose to go huntingafter that, it is yours.
Yours for the taking, providedit's still there, who knows?
Catherine (01:08:58):
I mean how many
people has she told about it?
Andrew (01:09:01):
Yeah, but if the undead
have overrun Thundertree.
Catherine (01:09:04):
Do you think they're
like way into emerald necklaces?
But you just never know, maybewhen the undead is like ooh,
Maybe one of the undead iswearing the necklace and I'll
just rip it off his undead head.
Andrew (01:09:18):
Maybe you will, maybe I
will.
Well, you wouldn't rip it offthe undead head, because again,
they're probably pretty tall.
You could quarter staff it.
Catherine (01:09:21):
You could knock the
undead head off you think I
couldn't launch myself upanother undead to get to the
undead's neck that's wearing thenecklace?
Rip the necklace off and, like,behead them at the same time.
Andrew (01:09:34):
That would be multiple
acrobatics checks.
Catherine (01:09:37):
I'm pretty spry.
Andrew (01:09:39):
Yeah, let's wait for
that.
James (01:09:43):
You hold that, thought I
applaud that plan, but I think
there's something missing.
Catherine (01:09:53):
What.
James (01:09:53):
Well, if there's a
12-foot tall skeletons, then you
could get decor for the BimbleBumble.
It's.
Catherine (01:10:00):
Halloween.
James (01:10:01):
Because, those 12-foot
skeletons.
Andrew (01:10:04):
So, speaking of which, I
was driving up in, of all
places, sussex County.
So just let that be what it is.
I was driving down the road inSussex County and there, on
someone's front lawn, is one ofthese giant 12 foot tall
skeletons dressed up in a swim,swim trunks, a red, white and
blue shirt.
(01:10:25):
It was like it was like all setfor for the 4th of July or, I
guess, memorial day.
Maybe it was still dressed upfor, but I'm like, oh my, look
at that.
They're just rocking out thatskeleton 365.
James (01:10:41):
There's a lady on
Instagram that she bedazzled
hers.
Andrew (01:10:47):
Wow.
James (01:10:48):
Like the little squares,
so it's like a disco ball.
Andrew (01:10:51):
Yeah.
James (01:10:51):
Nice and she's doing the
project and it's like that's
impressive.
It's awesome looking.
Andrew (01:10:59):
I bet.
James (01:10:59):
But it took thousands and
thousands of these little
square.
Andrew (01:11:03):
I can imagine, I can
only imagine.
All right, so back to it.
You cleared out these cells.
What would you like to do next?
So remember, back in the crypt.
There is one door in thenorthwest, the northern wall,
(01:11:23):
the western side of the northernwall, in the crypt, in the
crypt that we were in previously.
James (01:11:28):
There's no other doors or
anything in this area Did we
loot the red brands or we justtook the keys.
Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
We haven't yet.
James (01:11:38):
Let's loot the red brands
or the dead brands.
Andrew (01:11:42):
The dead brands.
James (01:11:45):
Copyright Legends, loot
and More.
Andrew (01:11:50):
Copyright 2024.
Legends, loot and More.
There is nothing.
The red brands have nothing onthem of any value or of any note
.
Zanros (01:12:03):
These guys are fully
useless.
Andrew (01:12:06):
Yes, clearly you don't
even want them for employees.
That's how useless they are.
James (01:12:15):
That's saying a lot,
since goblins are already the
employees Right.
Andrew (01:12:21):
What's more useless than
a goblin?
Catherine (01:12:25):
Theo Pimble oh.
Andrew (01:12:28):
Wow.
James (01:12:29):
Does that count as
dissonant whispers or vicious
mockery?
Andrew (01:12:33):
Remember this is Pride
Month.
We need to be inclusive of allraces, creeds, colors, genders,
etc.
Catherine (01:12:41):
I don't know how I'm
not being inclusive by
acknowledging that Theo Pimbleis a useless individual.
Wow.
Andrew (01:12:49):
Okay then.
Catherine (01:12:50):
He wasn't even like.
You know what.
Look at these guys fighting.
I'll help out.
No, he's like I'm sitting overon the side here.
I can't even be bothered towhittle, I'm just useless you.
No one asked theo pimble tojoin in I'd like to see some
initiative from the b&bemployees.
I'm not seeing that from theookay, then then.
Andrew (01:13:13):
Just saying so what
would you like to do next?
You can either go back down thehallway.
You can go back down thehallway and face the skeletons,
or you can go through thatnorthern door.
James (01:13:38):
I I think we go through
the northern door in the crypt.
Andrew (01:13:44):
James, just do me one
favor.
James (01:13:50):
Sorry, as I drill away.
Catherine (01:13:55):
Oh, look over here,

the map.
Andrew (01:14:26):
Oh, you're killing me, I
love it.
James (01:14:30):
Yeah, I think we should
go through that northern door.
Yes, are these?
Oh, oh, what Are these littleprotuberances that we've come
across previously?
Are those meant to be sconces?
Andrew (01:14:49):
Those were the columns.

Andrew (01:15:51):
Oh, my God, this is so
good.
So you're going through thenorthern door.
James (01:15:57):
Going through the
northern door.
Andrew (01:15:58):
Okay, in what order?
Because this is a narrow littlehallway here.
So In what order are you going?
Who's going first?
Zanros Dal.
James (01:16:10):
Zanros and Dal, you're
still.
Both of you are still injured.
Catherine (01:16:14):
Yes, yes, theo.
James (01:16:18):
Pimble.
Theo Pimble will be our meatshield.
I'll go in with Callie first.
Andrew (01:16:27):
You'll go in with Callie
first, okay, yeah, so you and
Callie basically take up thisentire little hallway, because
it's five foot wide.
By about 15 foot long there's adoor in kind of the northeast
corner of Can I listen at thedoor?
(01:16:47):
You'd like to listen at thedoor?
Where are?
Catherine (01:16:55):
we, we're in this
little thing, okay.
Andrew (01:16:58):
Well, you're still in
the crypt area.
Catherine (01:17:00):
Right, I'm just
trying to figure out where we're
going.
Got it, thank you.
Andrew (01:17:11):
All I can hear is Mulder
I know he's purring away.
Speaker 4 (01:17:13):
Under the table.
I know, mulder, where are underthe table I know, Mulder, where
are you?
Andrew (01:17:16):
buddy, I don't know
where you are.
Hi, hi, buddy, he's purringaway.
Okay, so Equium give me.
(01:17:36):
So you're in this hallway.
Give me a perception check aCali now that would be a 16 a 16
(01:18:08):
.
So, as you are listening at thedoor, one for one, you hear
nothing.
You hear nothing other thanpurring.
Catherine (01:18:30):
From somewhere.
James (01:18:32):
Is it Doppler purring?
It is, I'm just asking for afriend.
Catherine (01:18:34):
From somewhere.
Is it Doppler?
Andrew (01:18:34):
purring it is.
So.
Leaning up against the door,you hear nothing.
However, you do hear noisecoming from somewhere, but when
(01:18:56):
you're listening up against thedoor, you hear nothing.
But just standing in thehallway you hear noise coming
from somewhere.
James (01:19:07):
Can I?
Can I do an investigation checkto try and determine where the
sound is coming from, or is thatanother perception check?
You can do an investigationcheck to try and determine where
the sound is coming from, or isthat another perception check?
Andrew (01:19:16):
You can do an
investigation check.
That'd be perfect.
James (01:19:27):
Six, damn it.
Andrew (01:19:34):
You can't place the
direction of the sound.
You distinctly hear noise, butyou cannot place its origin.
You are up against the door.
(01:19:54):
You know it's not coming fromin there, but you cannot tell
from what other direction itmight be coming.
What would you like to do?
Zanros (01:20:07):
Oh.
James (01:20:09):
Can I have Callie try to
perceive it?
Sure Okay, have Callie do aninvestigation, check, perceive
it.
Andrew (01:20:14):
Sure Okay, have Cali do
an investigation check.
James (01:20:17):
Investigation check.
In her case it would be sniffinvestigation.
Andrew (01:20:22):
Yes, exactly.
James (01:20:37):
That is an 11 and her
passive perception is 13 so
you're.
Andrew (01:20:49):
You're up against the
door leaning callie is.
Callie is sniffing aroundDirectly opposite of the door.
Callie is sniffing, sniffingstarts barking and is just
sniffing and barking andscratching like there's
(01:21:10):
something there.
James (01:21:13):
Opposite to the door.
Where Opposite to the door.
(01:21:43):
Where Opposite to the door,where wall opposite of the door.
Andrew (01:21:46):
Okay.
James (01:21:49):
Is there anything,
anything?
I literally searched the doorwherever she's sniffing.
Andrew (01:22:00):
So so you notice, so.
So.
So in this in this hallway, you, you notice the, the bricks
like the, the stonework on thewall.
You, you notice, you noticethere there's a change in
pattern in the wall and you'reable to make out a difference in
(01:22:23):
pattern a little bit in thatsection of the wall.
James (01:22:35):
Where the pattern is
different.
I want to press on the wall andsee if it Gives away.
Andrew (01:22:46):
Give me an athletics
check no.
James (01:22:53):
The best I can hope for
is a nat 20, so I can get 17.
Andrew (01:23:00):
But here goes, fingers
crossed 17 minus 3, 14.
James (01:23:16):
And you just missed.
I'm ready for it, it's okay.
It's a strength related thing,so it's okay it doesn't feel
quite like a solid wall.
Andrew (01:23:33):
Something doesn't feel
right.
Okay, you, it doesn't.
It doesn't quite give you knowwhat I mean, but it's just.
It's just like it doesn't feellike a solid wall to you, Like
an immovable wall, so it kind ofI want to say kind of shifts
(01:23:54):
just ever so slightly.
So you know, something is therebut you're not able to fully
move it either.
You've got other, strongermembers of your party that yeah,
(01:24:17):
so there's definitely somethinghere.
James (01:24:21):
It's just off and I tried
to push it, it's not.
Yeah, there's something up onthis wall.
It could be.
I would encourage both of youto look and to press upon it
where the pattern changes and Ishow them where I pressed.
Andrew (01:24:42):
Excellent.
Catherine (01:24:49):
Can I do an
investigation check?
Andrew (01:24:53):
You can do an
investigation, check All right
let's try that 19.
So clearly, again you noticethe same change in pattern that
Iquium does Something.
Just again, something justdoesn't seem right.
(01:25:15):
Not doesn't seem right, butseems different, Clearly,
clearly, this part of the wallis different than the rest of
the wall.
Again, the pattern is adifferent pattern than the rest
of the wall.
So something is clearlydifferent about this section.
So something is clearlydifferent about this section.
Catherine (01:26:00):
It's door-shaped but
you notice kind of a change in
pattern.
That is about the size of whatwould be a standard door.
So do you think we have to tapit in a specific way to get it
to open?
Can Callie Kool-Aid man her way?
James (01:26:19):
through the wall.
Catherine (01:26:30):
What would you like
to do?
Speaker 4 (01:26:31):
I want to go in.
James (01:26:36):
I was going to say I
could try.
You're going to try bruteforcing it no.
Andrew (01:26:41):
I could try Equium.
Already tried that Didn't go sowell.
What would you like to do,zanros?
I know, no, I know, zanros.
Catherine (01:26:58):
Can I leap into the
air with my feet?
Andrew (01:26:59):
and attempt to knock it
open.
Absolutely, you can absolutelytry to do that.
Catherine (01:27:03):
Okay, what kind of
roll would you like me to do for
that?
Andrew (01:27:07):
I need both an
acrobatics and an athletics
check.
Acrobatics first for the jump,the leaping like the jumping
motion and then athletics to.
James (01:27:18):
I start humming.
Everybody was kung fu fightingjust to give inspiration.
Catherine (01:27:21):
It's an 11 on
acrobatics.
Andrew (01:27:24):
Okay, so you're up in
the air, not as high as you
wanted to go, but I'm up there.
But you're up.
Catherine (01:27:29):
Okay, and the other
one was athletics.
Andrew (01:27:31):
Yes, six.
So, you go flying at the door,hit it, just dink and drop, drop
down.
What the hell?
Fortunately Callie catches you.
That was nice of you Before youhit the ground and hurt
(01:27:53):
yourself.
Zanros (01:27:54):
Shouldn't I have a
master key to this place?
What is wrong with this place?
James (01:27:59):
Theo Pimble Shall I.
What's up with the wall?
Zanros (01:28:04):
Theo Pimble, you useless
piece of crap.
Could you make yourself usefuland figure out the wall?
James (01:28:11):
Oh, with an invitation
like that, who could resist?
Andrew (01:28:14):
Are you trying to
persuade him or intimidate him?
Catherine (01:28:19):
Persuade.
Fable (01:28:21):
Shall I try to shoulder
through this door.
Andrew (01:28:23):
So, so so, persuade,
persuade away.
Catherine (01:28:30):
Oh, that's a nat 20.
Nice Plus one, so that's a 21.
Andrew (01:28:34):
So so again persuade,
persuade Theo a nat 20.
Nice Plus one, so that's a 21.
Zanros (01:28:36):
So again persuade Theo,
pinball Theo seriously, it's
going to take us forever to getthrough here If you know,
something.
Could you please just tell us?
You're such a piece of crap.
Andrew (01:28:49):
He pays no mind to your
minor insult.
Catherine (01:28:52):
I mean, that was off
to the side.
He wasn't supposed to hear.
That, exactly, was off to theside.
Andrew (01:28:54):
He wasn't supposed to
hear that Exactly.
He didn't hear you.
Fable (01:28:56):
He wasn't supposed to
hear that why.
Andrew (01:28:59):
He didn't hear the
insult part.
Catherine (01:29:01):
No, during the
persuasion.
At the end I called him auseless piece of crap, but I did
it real low under my voice.
Andrew (01:29:06):
That's right.
So he did not hear that RightBecause he's got a hearing
(01:29:26):
problem.
What Exactly so?
Theo says there are all sortsof hidden passages and secret
halls down here that they putinto place.
He's like I'm not usually privyto where they are, but it
shouldn't be that difficult tohave you tried just pushing it
open.
Catherine (01:29:46):
Dal, do you want to
try to just push it open?
Sure, okay, do I got?
Andrew (01:29:49):
to do anything for that.
Give me an athletics track.
Fable (01:29:55):
An athletics.
Oh, check Athletics, I fuckinggot it.
I got a two, I rolled a nat onePlus one.
It's going very well.
Andrew (01:30:11):
So you rolled a nat one.
So what happens to Dal is Dalpushes and pushes and pushes up
against this section of the wall.
There's some dust and debris onthe floor.
(01:30:35):
Dal's not able to get a good,steady footing with her feet
kind of slips and just falls toher knees and is not able to get
the door open.
Oh man.
Zanros (01:30:50):
Any other ideas Theo?
Andrew (01:30:54):
Well, I guess, I mean I
could try to give it a shot.
James (01:31:01):
Yes, Equium, Just out of
curiosity.
I want to open the opposite.
I want to open the actual otherdoor.
Andrew (01:31:08):
Okay, it's locked, it's
locked.
James (01:31:12):
It's locked 's locked
it's locked can anybody pick
locks?
Catherine (01:31:32):
I don't think I can.
James (01:31:39):
I don't think I can.
We have the keys from the thecells?
Do they fit in the door?
Andrew (01:31:51):
Give me an investigation
check on the keys 14.
So there's a few keys on thereso they look like they might fit
.
So you can certainly give it atry.
Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
Okay, and so you can
certainly give it a try Okay, so
you're going to try the.
James (01:32:18):
Yeah, I'll just go
through them one by one.
Andrew (01:32:20):
So you fiddle with the
keys.
A couple of the keys just don'teven fit in the lock.
One of them finally fits in,you turn it.
Doesn't quite move it.
Try another key.
That one finally fits, you turnit and it does unlock this door
.
Would you like to open the dooror what would you like to do?
James (01:32:44):
So now that the door's
unlocked, yes, can I turn around
to the other wall where the?
I just want to know if thatdoor is unlocked or open, if I
can go through the wall.
Andrew (01:33:00):
And give it another
athletics check.
James (01:33:04):
Sure Okay, because, why
not?
Because it can only.
The worst that it can mean iscomedy 15.
12.
Andrew (01:33:20):
Again you've got
difficulty.
It feels like something shouldhappen, but nothing is quite
happening.
Anyone, hi, hi, you doinganything?
Catherine (01:33:48):
Nope, I've tried
threatening Theo Pimble.
I've jumped at the door.
What?
Fable (01:33:53):
else would you like to do
?
I could try the door again.
Andrew (01:33:57):
Try the door again, give
it another.
Fable (01:33:59):
The wolf pack was wishing
me a happy Pride month, so I
had to respond.
Andrew (01:34:02):
Very nice.
Fable (01:34:04):
It's funny because the
only one that's not gay is Gia.
She's working double time thismonth.
Catherine (01:34:10):
What if we what?
Andrew (01:34:14):
the fuck What'd?
You get An eight.
Catherine (01:34:18):
No, what if we all
try pushing it at the same time?
Fable (01:34:21):
Combine our rolls.
Andrew (01:34:23):
So do that.
So all of you roll an athleticscheck and let's just combine
the rolls.
Fable (01:34:30):
Oh, of course, I get a 20
this time I got a 20.
James (01:34:33):
Oh my god 17 minus three,
I got 14.
Oh my God, 17 minus three, Igot 14.
Andrew (01:34:36):
Okay so you all, you all
, you all push on the door
together and it just flies.
It just flies right, right open.
Catherine (01:34:46):
Teamwork makes the
dream work.
Look at that.
Andrew (01:34:49):
So which, which
direction would you like to go?
So you now have an unlockeddoor to your clowns.
To the left, you jokers.
To the right again.
You got the unlocked door tothe right.
You got this secret hallpassage entry to the left.
Which way would you like to go?
James (01:35:05):
Well, I'm dying to see
what was behind the locked door.
Yeah, me too.
Catherine (01:35:09):
You spent a lot of
time on that door.
Andrew (01:35:11):
I want to know the
locked door or the secret door,
the secret door you want to gothrough.
James (01:35:18):
Iquia wants to go through
the locked door.
I want to go through the lockeddoor because, admittedly, I'm
looking at the map and it lookslike a small room.
Catherine (01:35:26):
Don't split the party
because I'm like I'm going
through the secret door.
Andrew (01:35:30):
It's up to you.
Which way would you like to godoor?
Fable (01:35:32):
It's up to you.
Which way would you like to go?
James (01:35:41):
I'm going with bumble
bumble.
I mean, this was a locked door.
That's what I'm saying.
Catherine (01:35:44):
Right right, there's
very little behind it.
James (01:35:46):
Maybe there's something
in there that would help us.
Catherine (01:35:49):
Alright, I mean, it's
not like the secret door is
going to close now that we'vegotten it open, or is it?
Speaker 4 (01:35:55):
I don't know.
Catherine (01:35:56):
Look at his secret
door is going to close now that
we've gotten it open or is it?
Speaker 4 (01:35:58):
I don't know.
James (01:35:59):
Look at his face.
Look at his face.
It won't close.
He wants it to.
Catherine (01:36:01):
He does, Don't give
me ideas.
He's like you go through thelocked door and the secret door
closes.
James (01:36:07):
That's why I opened the
locked door, because I thought,
oh, maybe it has something to dowith it.
Andrew (01:36:12):
Okay, so you're all
going to go through the locked
door?
Sure, so you walk into thisroom.
What appears to be an armory.
Racks of weapons line the wallsof this chamber, including
spears, swords, crossbows andbolts.
A dozen dirty red cloaks hangfrom hooks by the door.
(01:36:34):
A dozen dirty red cloaks hangfrom hooks by the door, clearly.
So give me a perception.
Check someone, or all of you.
I think my perception's like afive.
Fable (01:36:47):
Yeah, I'll do it 21.
James (01:36:50):
It's not me.
Catherine (01:36:50):
Not you 17.
Andrew (01:36:51):
21.
It's not me, not you 17.
Okay, so, unbeknownst to Zanros, but knownst to the rest of you
.
Speaker 4 (01:37:02):
Knownst, knownst.
Andrew (01:37:03):
Love it.
So clearly the red brands areplanning something, because
they're amassing quite a cacheof weapons here, because they're
amassing quite a cache ofweapons here.
So you know they've got biggerplans than what's already been
going on.
Catherine (01:37:20):
What kind of weapons
Anything we want to take.
Andrew (01:37:25):
Sure, so the racks hold.
So you kind of take aninventory visually.
The racks hold 12 spears, 6short swords, 4 long swords, 6
light crossbows and 8 quiversholding 20 crossbow bolts each.
Speaker 4 (01:37:44):
Wait.
Andrew (01:37:47):
What's that?
I missed some of that, that'sall right.
12 spears, 6 short swords, 4long swords, 6 light crossbows
and 8 quivers holding 20crossbow bolts each.
Now you notice some of theweapons are not just common
weapons.
(01:38:07):
They're especially well made.
There is a short sword whosepommel and guard are set with
semi-precious stones and twomatched crossbows whose woodwork
is inlaid with silver.
You're able to determine thatif you sold those, they would be
(01:38:32):
worth more than your standardweapon.
Fable (01:38:39):
Or it could be girl
bosses who have matching
crossbows as we slay our enemies.
Catherine (01:38:44):
Definitely do that,
could do that.
Fable (01:38:48):
Probably not financially
wise, but fun nonetheless, like
most things.
Speaker 4 (01:38:55):
Mm-hmm.
James (01:38:56):
So it's one of the short
swords.
That's a jewel.
Andrew (01:39:01):
One of the short swords
and two of the crossbows are
matched.
There's a matched set ofcrossbows who have the inlaid
silver in the woodwork.
What Cool, yes.
What cool, yes.
What would you like to do?
(01:39:22):
Snag them okay, who's who issnagging what?
Catherine (01:39:31):
so here's what I
would suggest what would you
suggest?
You guys take whatever it isyou want.
Whatever's left, I'm gonna sellFor the B&B Okay.
Andrew (01:39:48):
What you could do is you
could set up a good game of Of
lawn darts with those crossbowbolts.
Zanros (01:39:54):
Excellent, you could
have some fun activities.
Set up a good game of lawndarts with those crossbow bolts.
Andrew (01:39:57):
Excellent, you could
have some fun activities for the
visitors of the B&B.
You could do like LARPing.
You could host LARPs on theweekends.
Catherine (01:40:11):
Who doesn't want to
host LARPs?
James (01:40:18):
DAL is proficient with a
crossbow, so maybe they should.
Yeah, if you two want to takethe crossbows, then I'll take
the short sword, because I canuse a short sword I can't use.
Catherine (01:40:28):
A long sword would be
too heavy for you, right oh?
James (01:40:32):
thanks.
Catherine (01:40:33):
Strength yeah, just
stating facts excellent, okay,
so.
Andrew (01:40:43):
So equium is going to
keep the bejeweled short sword
and dal and zanros are going totake the matching crossbows.
James (01:40:52):
Yeah, and I definitely
think you guys should take all
the arrows.
Catherine (01:40:56):
Yeah, absolutely.
Andrew (01:40:57):
Yeah Well, there are
eight quivers, so I don't know
how many quivers you want to tryto carry at once, but each
one's got 20 crossbow bolts init, so that's a pretty hefty
amount for one quiver.
You can always come back andget more if you run out while
(01:41:17):
you're down here.
Fable (01:41:18):
Because it is going to be
the B&B.
Andrew (01:41:20):
Right.
Fable (01:41:21):
It's not like they're
going anywhere About one for now
.
Catherine (01:41:27):
Is this a heavy or a
light crossbow?
Andrew (01:41:29):
It's a light crossbow.
Fable (01:41:32):
Is it any special one or
just normal light crossbow?
Just a normal light crossbow.
Is it any special one or justnormal?
Andrew (01:41:36):
light crossbow.
Just a normal light crossbow,okay, just prettier than most.
It's decorative.
James (01:41:46):
Can I do an arcana check
on this short sword?
Andrew (01:41:51):
Yes, you may 13 it's a
really pretty looking short
sword.
James (01:42:07):
Yes, it's shimmery it's
shimmery yes shimmery, a
twilight vampire, or just likeyou know, Shimmery like Edward
in the sun of the PacificNorthwest.
Andrew (01:42:28):
What was that, Zanros?
James (01:42:29):
Nothing.
I'm going to be really honestNothing I'm going to be really
honest.
It's probably going to.
People are going to write inabout me hating Twilight
vampires, but anyway, I saidwhat I said.
Andrew (01:42:45):
I think most people in
here are Team Jacob.
There you go, wolfpack.
James (01:42:51):
Wolfpack, wolfpack, I
have a dire wolf.
Andrew (01:42:54):
Exactly, so clearly we
know where this party stands.
Catherine (01:43:01):
It's really funny
because everybody hates Jacob
and I'm like eh.
They're both really problematic, yeah.
Andrew (01:43:08):
Yeah, they are.
Catherine (01:43:10):
Jacob imprints on a
baby.
Yeah, gross.
Fable (01:43:12):
Fucking weird.
Yeah, gross Fucking weird.
Andrew (01:43:15):
Yeah.
Catherine (01:43:19):
You said it.
I mean I can use one of myhealing potions right, you've
got many healing potions as well, but yes, Do we want to waste
one?
Fable (01:43:25):
if I could just heal both
of us right now.
Catherine (01:43:27):
I mean, if you can do
it sure.
Fable (01:43:29):
I can.
All right, it's 1d8 plus 6,.
So Ooh can, all right it's 1d8plus 6, so Ooh.
Catherine (01:43:33):
So should we be back
to full health?
Andrew (01:43:35):
What is that?
Spare the dying?
No.
Fable (01:43:38):
Why would I?
You can only do that if you're.
Catherine (01:43:40):
I'm not dying.
Andrew (01:43:42):
Yeah.
Fable (01:43:43):
Picture of health.
Andrew (01:43:44):
Which spell are you
casting?
Fable (01:43:45):
Cure wounds.
How many spell slots have youalready used?
This would only be my first one, because I've been using
cantrips.
Andrew (01:43:52):
Okay, so you're going to
use Cure Wounds twice.
That uses up two of your threespell slots.
Fable (01:43:58):
I can oh shit.
Catherine (01:44:00):
I can just use my
healing potion.
I have multiples.
Fable (01:44:04):
If I did Bless I could
get both of us.
But what does a healing potionget you.
Andrew (01:44:10):
It's 1d4 plus.
Look it up, don't you have itin your inventory?
Catherine (01:44:14):
Yeah.
Andrew (01:44:15):
I do.
I don't recall the it's 1d4plus 2?
.
Catherine (01:44:21):
So 2d4 plus 2.
Andrew (01:44:25):
Are these potions of
greater healing or just potions
of healing?
Catherine (01:44:30):
Potion of healing
Okay.
Andrew (01:44:32):
Yeah, 2d4 plus 2.
Yeah.
James (01:44:50):
Okay, okay, potion of
healing.
Okay, yeah, 2d4 plus 2.
Yeah, five, six, seven.
Okay, I'm back to full strength, nice.
So the other thing and I forgotto mention this one we started
because I know that previously,I, because I have the invocation
and I cashed mage armor on bothmyself and Zanros, because you
don't wear armor right?
No, so yeah.
Catherine (01:45:09):
Don't you badass for
armor.
James (01:45:12):
Well, it becomes your
base.
Ac becomes 13, plus yourdexterity modifier, which I know
is really high.
Catherine (01:45:18):
No, my dexterity is
only like oh, it's plus four.
Andrew (01:45:21):
Plus four yeah.
Catherine (01:45:22):
Acrobatics is plus
six though, so, like you know,
but, what I prefer, that Iprefer the plus six is all I'm
saying.
James (01:45:30):
No, but this doesn't,
this doesn't take away from here
.
Catherine (01:45:36):
No, I know saying no,
but this doesn't, this doesn't
take away from your no, I knowno, yeah, I'm just saying I
would prefer everything to beplus six.
Well, who wouldn't?
Who I know?
But like, why are you lookingso confused?
Andrew (01:45:43):
I'm like what does the
plus six have to do with
anything with your ac?
James (01:45:46):
like, okay then I know
right, this is, this is yeah, so
as far as anything being pluswhatever, I'm just saying I
think the ultimate quest itemfor Equium would be a belt of
Storm, giant strength.
Andrew (01:46:04):
Anyway, got it.
Well, don't forget, you havethose items.
Which items?
Catherine (01:46:08):
I have the Cape of
Enlargement.
Andrew (01:46:10):
You've got the staff.
I have the staff.
Yeah, You've got the staff.
Fable (01:46:18):
I fell, but it's the
Lightbringer.
It's a mace.
Andrew (01:46:24):
Nice.
Catherine (01:46:25):
And you've got Staff

(01:46:51):
You're just going to wing it,okay.
Yeah, we'll see how it goes.
You're just gonna wing it, okay, so, so are you going through
the secret door now?
Secret door, secret door andnow again in what order are you
going through this door secret?
Fable (01:47:16):
door.
In what order are you goingthrough this door?
Secret door.
Catherine (01:47:21):
Do we send Callie
through first?
Yeah, okay, callie, I'll goright behind Callie.
Then Theo Pimble, human shield.
Fable (01:47:33):
Callie roll percentage

tallest, and yet also, you'll beahead of the prisoners right,
because they're following usaround the prisoners are
following you makeup, boy andmakeup

Speaker 4 (01:47:55):
NARS is a makeup
brand, I don't know makeup yes,
I get my eyeliner from theDollar Tree.
54.
Andrew (01:48:03):
Uh oh, rip Callie.
Fable (01:48:08):
You can't be serious.
Catherine (01:48:11):
Can we save Callie?
How do we save Callie?
Look at James' face, you dick.
Andrew (01:48:17):
I'm so fucking with you.
Fable (01:48:18):
I know right.
James (01:48:24):
I'm now going to Eldritch
Blast everything.
No.
Catherine (01:48:32):
Zandros puts on the
cape of enlargement.
James (01:48:34):
You can call me Baba Yaga
.
Okay, baba Yaga.
Andrew (01:48:41):
Okay.
Catherine (01:48:44):
Baba Yaga comes at
night.
Andrew (01:48:51):
So you all enter this
room, this just appears to be a,
this just appears to be a, thisjust appears to be a storeroom.
So there's just a lot of thestuff that you assume that the
red brands have been stealingand taking, and this is kind of
(01:49:12):
where they store all this.
This area is the north end of alarge natural cavern, but this
part of it has been finishedwith stone block walls and a
flagstone floor.
(01:49:33):
There's several barrels upagainst the walls, some empty
crates, straw for packinghammers, pry bars, nails, so
it's kind of like a UPS store,an old-timey UPS store.
The cavern continues for somedistance to the south.
(01:49:54):
You can make out severalpassages that open off of the
larger cavern and what lookslike a deep pit or crevasse in
the floor.
What would you like to do?
James (01:50:20):
Can we search the crates
and stuff?
You, we search the crates andstuff.
Andrew (01:50:23):
You may search the
crates and stuff.
Give me an investigation check.
James (01:50:27):
Certainly.
Andrew (01:50:29):
Does anybody else want
to?
James (01:50:30):
do an investigation.
Andrew (01:50:31):
Obviously we're nosy
Okay.
Catherine (01:50:33):
It's my B&B, that's a
12.
Oh 15.
Four what are my rules today?
Mine?
Fable (01:50:43):
suck.
Andrew (01:50:45):
So most of the stuff
here is not very it's a very
little value.
However, there is a pile ofbeaver pelts that are worth
about two gold pieces each.
How?
James (01:51:03):
many beaver pelts are
there.
So I know that you said likeold-timey general store.
But this is not a Bucky's byany chance, is it?
Andrew (01:51:11):
It's not Okay.
Nor is it a Cracker Barrel.
There's a gift shop.
There's a gift shop while youwait to eat.
Catherine (01:51:20):
Did they skin the
former?
Fable (01:51:22):
proprietors oh my god,
how many beaver pelts say
they're worth.
Andrew (01:51:28):
I would say there's
probably about 40.
Speaker 4 (01:51:31):
Wow Okay.
Andrew (01:51:32):
Beaver pelts.
It's a lot of beaver.
James (01:51:35):
That's a lot of beaver,
that's a lot.
Andrew (01:51:36):
There's a lot.
You walk in here and you go.
It smells like beaver.
Oh my God, sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:51:52):
Instead of singing
the song, I'm cracking myself up
.
James (01:51:54):
Instead of?
Catherine (01:51:56):
Are you 48 or four?
James (01:51:59):
Yes, so I'm 12.
Andrew (01:52:01):
Yeah, are you 48 or four
?
Yes, I'm 12.
Catherine (01:52:04):
Yeah.
James (01:52:05):
Well, we could start
singing the song you Give Me
Fever, except replace it with itSmells Like Beaver.
Oh, no Beaver In the morning,oh, my God, beaver in the
afternoon.
Andrew (01:52:17):
Oh my, I found some
beaver.
Wow.
James (01:52:28):
We were both Wow you and
I are both like nine-year-olds,
with the enthusiasm of anine-year-old that's been given
$100 to go into a 7-Eleven.
Andrew (01:52:36):
Right, oh my God.
Snacks on a road trip, oh myGod.
Or like two adults, let looseand packed, unplugged.
James (01:52:45):
Exactly.
Andrew (01:52:45):
It's the same Same thing
.
James (01:52:48):
Same, absolutely the same
, as Catherine's ready to hit
her head against the mic.
Andrew (01:52:56):
Catherine's like please,
no, this is my life.
James (01:53:00):
It's like what have we
done?
We invited James here.
Andrew (01:53:04):
So what would you like
to do?
Does somebody want to take thebeaver pelts?
Catherine (01:53:11):
That's a lot of
beaver pelts to carry.
Andrew (01:53:13):
You know you could use
those beaver pelts for the B&B.
Catherine (01:53:19):
That's true.
Fable (01:53:20):
We should just leave them
in here for later B&B use,
though it can get you 80 gold IfI need it, yeah.
Catherine (01:53:26):
But I'd have to spend
how much on blankets, rugs
things I could use beaver peltsfor.
Right.
James (01:53:35):
What.
Andrew (01:53:37):
It's not that big enough
for a blanket, the Bumble,
bumble, bee and Beaver.
Catherine (01:53:41):
They are.
Andrew (01:53:44):
She didn't hear that one
.
I heard it the Bembo, bombo Beeand Beaver.
Catherine (01:53:48):
Am I supposed to
dignify that with a response?
Andrew (01:53:50):
Yes, you're supposed to
find that very funny.
Speaker 4 (01:53:54):
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha
ha.
Thank you, I'll take a pitylaugh.
Andrew (01:53:59):
I will take a pity laugh
.
What, thank you.
I'll take a pity laugh.
I will take a pity laugh.
What would you like to do?
So there's not much in thisarea.
Again, it's finished.
It's a storage kind of shippingprep area.
Catherine (01:54:13):
In the immortal words
of Kermit the Frog and Fozzie
Bear.
I think we should be movingright along Footloose andzie
Bear.
Yes, I think we should bemoving right along Footloose and
fancy free.
Andrew (01:54:26):
Yes, it's not easy being
green, no, so you want to head
south?
James (01:54:35):
Yes.
Andrew (01:54:35):
Into the crevasse.
Into the crevasse.
James (01:54:37):
Yeah.
Catherine (01:54:37):
I was going to say
this looks dangerous.
Into the crevasse, Into thecrevasse.
Yeah, I was going to say thislooks dangerous.
James (01:54:43):
I, yeah, I think we
should go, because we're not.
Yeah, let's go south.
And is that like a little ropebridge that we see?
Andrew (01:55:03):
So I will tell you that.
So there's, as you walk intothis area, you feel a cold
breeze softly blowing throughthe natural cavern, carrying the
faint scent of decaying flesh.
What?
Zanros (01:55:18):
the hell am I going to
do with this?
Andrew (01:55:21):
A crevasse with sloped
walls divides the cavern and is
flanked by two rough stonecolumns that support the 20 foot
high ceiling.
Zanros (01:55:33):
Do we make this into a
swimming pool?
What the hell am I gonna?
Andrew (01:55:36):
do Two arched wooden
bridges span the chasm?
Fable (01:55:44):
Mineral water sauna,
there we go.
Catherine (01:55:46):
Right, it's a natural
.
Fable (01:55:48):
A natural spring.
Catherine (01:55:49):
There we go.
James (01:55:57):
Let's move.
Andrew (01:55:58):
So yes, so yes.
What would you like to do?
James (01:56:06):
Other than those features
you've described, it's
essentially an empty room.
Andrew (01:56:14):
There's no one or
nothing else in here that we can
see.
Fable (01:56:20):
Nothing or no one that
you can see.
It's been all through here,correct?
James (01:56:29):
This part.
Fable (01:56:32):
Yeah.
Andrew (01:56:34):
We could.
So where do you want to go inthis?
So you're at the northern endof this area.
James (01:56:42):
Let's go see what that.
Let's go across the firstbridge To the west, going from
east to west.
Andrew (01:56:53):
Before you get to the
bridge, James, roll me a
perception check 11.
Catherine (01:57:18):
Oh, dude, that's
creepy oh dude, that's creepy
Okay.
Andrew (01:57:30):
You're the only person
that can hear this.
Fable (01:57:37):
I don't know, I think I'm
hearing it.
Andrew (01:57:39):
You're not hearing it.
Catherine (01:57:43):
I'm glad I'm not
hearing it, because that's scary
as hell.
Andrew (01:57:47):
You feel as though
something is trying to
communicate with you.
You feel something in your head, but you can't quite place what
it is.
Speaker 4 (01:58:08):
I don't know, I don't
know, I don't know, I don't
know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I
don't know, I don't know, Idon't know, I don't know, I
don't know, I don't know, Idon't know I don't know, I don't
know, I don't know.
James (01:58:23):
I is what I'm hearing is
their discernible language.
Are they just?
Andrew (01:58:41):
What languages do you
speak?
common and dwarvish, and my pactis with the great old one you
can't, you can't quite make outwords or feelings, but it
(01:59:04):
doesn't.
It doesn't feel aggressive.
Okay, it's more, it's morequestioning it's.
You don't.
You don't feel anythingaggressive about this.
You feel, you feel like it'sjust kind of like in your head,
(01:59:31):
but you don't, you don't feelit's not threatening to you.
You can't understand what'swhat's being said or what's
what's going on, but it's not,it's not threatening to you, so
it's not threatening, okay, butI know for sure that I'm only
(01:59:56):
hearing it in my head.
James (01:59:57):
I don't know if they're
Well.
I asked them if they hearanything.
Zanros (02:00:03):
Huh, nope, why are you
hearing things?
Fable (02:00:08):
Maybe Natural gas leak in
here.
Zanros (02:00:10):
Ah shit, how much is
that gonna cost oh.
Speaker 4 (02:00:18):
I Hmm.
Andrew (02:00:21):
So so clearly they don't
.
Catherine (02:00:30):
Zanros and Dal don't
hear.
This Does.
James (02:00:33):
Theo Pimble hear it.
I'll ask Theo Pimble what heknows.
He hears voices or has heardvoices in this room.
Andrew (02:00:45):
I've never been in this
room this part before.
I've never heard voices.
Are you hearing it in your head?
Where are you hearing thesevoices?
James (02:01:01):
I'm just asking if you've
ever heard voices in this room
never.
Andrew (02:01:04):
I've never heard voices
in this room because you've
never been in this room.
I've never heard voicesanywhere.
No, I've not been in this room,but I've never heard voices
anywhere in this other thanfellow red brands or prisoners.
I haven't heard anything kindof out of the ordinary.
James (02:01:27):
We heard this just as we
came.
Speaker 4 (02:01:34):
Just as we came in
the room.
James (02:01:38):
The Doppler effect is
real Equium, equium.
Yeah, some more Equium.
Speaker 4 (02:01:44):
Equium, equium,
equium.
Andrew (02:01:50):
Just as you enter this
area is when you first Okay.
Zanros (02:01:54):
Don't forget to drink
your oval tea.
Andrew (02:01:58):
An advertisement.
Oh fudge.
James (02:02:07):
Okay, so, and now a word
from our sponsor, true Crime.
Stories of the Rift.
Andrew (02:02:21):
And just as quickly as
it came, you stop hearing it.
Okay, what would you like to do?
James (02:02:45):
I'm going to go across
that bridge.
I'm going to go across thebridge the northern bridge.
Correct the northern bridge.
Yes, Okay.
Zanros (02:02:55):
Do you think I could
make more?
Money if I market this as ahaunted B&B.
People love to stay in hauntedplaces.
Fable (02:03:06):
I've heard a Cyrus Zack
vegan.
Would you?
James (02:03:20):
So I see this passage to
the north.
Andrew (02:03:26):
Yes, you see that
passage.
James (02:03:30):
I want to go in there.
I'm la, la, la, la, la.
Now are we going to take, nowAre we going to take Myrna and
Nils and Nars with us this whole?
Catherine (02:03:49):
time, mm-hmm.
Well, we can't let them leave,and I don't think it's safe to
just leave them sittingsomewhere.
James (02:03:55):
Right, because they'd be
discovered.
Yeah, so they're going to live.
We could hide them in thecistern Mm-hmm.
Give them little hollow reeds.
Andrew (02:04:05):
Yep totally.
Catherine (02:04:08):
Redburns are pretty
stupid.
They probably wouldn't notice.
Zanros (02:04:13):
Put a cape on them, oh
yeah.
James (02:04:16):
No, I got it.
Catherine (02:04:18):
Okay.
James (02:04:18):
We make big sign boards
Opening soon, bimble bomble, b&b
and they can have arrows andthey can flip the arrow Sign
spinners.
Andrew (02:04:28):
Absolutely yes.
You have them throughout townall pointing up toward
Trescender Manor.
That's what they'll do.
I think that's a fantastic idea, yeah.
Catherine (02:04:38):
As we're taking them
with us.
Andrew (02:04:42):
Marketing.
I think that's a fantastic idea, as we're taking them with us
Marketing.
So you want to go through thatpassageway in the northwest.
Okay, is everybody going with?
Catherine (02:04:51):
Yes.
Andrew (02:04:52):
Okay.
Catherine (02:04:52):
We're not going to
split the party.
Always a bad idea to split theparty yeah, so is that.
James (02:05:12):
Is that a staircase up or
down?
That I see it looks?
Andrew (02:05:14):
down, it's not down so,
yes, there's a set of stairs
descending down.
Looks down, is that down?
So, yes, there's a set ofstairs descending down into a
small hallway.
There is a door to the northand a door to the south.
Fable (02:05:42):
Should we just get this
one out of the way first?
James (02:05:44):
Yeah, let's go to the
door to the north.
Andrew (02:05:52):
Just keep going after it
.
You're going to the north,you're going to the north, so
you're just opening the door andgoing in.
James (02:06:07):
I'll listen at the door.
Andrew (02:06:09):
You'll listen at the
door, so give me a perception
check 16.
You hear faint bubbling anddripping sounds through the door
(02:06:39):
.
Catherine (02:06:43):
Is that all we hear?
James (02:06:47):
Is the door.
I tried the door handle, is it.
Andrew (02:06:54):
It's unlocked.
It's unlocked.
James (02:06:58):
Um, I'll proceed very
slowly through the door.
Andrew (02:07:18):
The room appears to be a
wizard's workshop.
A large work table is set upwith all sorts of devices for
making chemicals and otherthings, all of them stewing and
(02:07:42):
bubbling away.
Bookshelves are crowded withsheaves of parchment and
strange-looking tomes.
James (02:08:02):
I okay, so I okay, so
other than the scripture of
context, there's no, there's noone we can see here correct.
I am going to do.
I'm going to investigate andsee what I can find.
Oh, so 13.
Andrew (02:08:36):
13.
13.
So you look at all the booksand the notes and everything.
They're basic texts on alchemy.
(02:09:00):
Do an arcana check.
James (02:09:05):
Six Six.
Andrew (02:09:13):
So you can tell whoever
is doing this.
Is brewing up something isbrewing up something, but you
cannot determine what it is.
They're trying to kind of brewup here in this process.
Speaker 4 (02:09:27):
Okay.
Andrew (02:09:32):
What languages do you
speak again?
James (02:09:35):
Common and Dwarvish.
Andrew (02:09:37):
Okay, so you recognize
that there's a book written in
Dwarvish Okay.
Zanros (02:09:43):
So you recognize that
there's a book written in.
Andrew (02:09:45):
Dwarvish.
Oh, it's the Journal of anAdventurer named Irman.
It describes the history of theLost Mine of Phandelver and the
Forge of Spells.
James (02:10:11):
Forge of Spells.
The Forge of Spells is it likea leather bound cover or is it
an?
Andrew (02:10:27):
illustrated cover.
It is leather bound.
It is very utilitarian.
It's just a just a journal.
Um, as you're reading it someof some of things it talks about
.
More than 500 years ago, clansof dwarves and gnomes made an
agreement known as thePhandelver Pact, by which they
(02:10:49):
would share a rich mine in awondrous cavern known as Wave
Echo Cave.
In addition to its mineralwealth, the mine contained great
magical power.
Human spellcasters alliedthemselves with dwarves and
gnomes to channel and bind thatenergy into a great forge called
(02:11:14):
the Forge of Spells, wheremagic items could be crafted.
Fable (02:11:21):
What did I say about
Mineral Spring?
Andrew (02:11:24):
Times were good and the
nearby town of Phandalin
prospered as well.
But disaster struck whenbandits swept through the north
and laid waste to all in theirpath.
A powerful bandit force,reinforced by evil mercenary
wizards, attacked the wave echocave to seize its riches and
(02:11:48):
magic treasures.
Human wizards fought alongsidetheir dwarf and gnome allies to
defend the forge of spells, andthe ensuing spell battle
destroyed much of the cavern.
Few survived the cave-ins andtremors, and knowledge of the
location of Wave Echo Cave waslost.
Catherine (02:12:10):
Uh-oh.
Andrew (02:12:11):
Forever Forever Forever
Ever.
Catherine (02:12:17):
Anybody hear that.
No, and ever and ever and everand ever and ever and ever, and
ever and ever.
Andrew (02:12:28):
And ever and ever,
perhaps.
Question mark.
Zanros (02:12:36):
Or was?
Andrew (02:12:37):
it, or was it, or was it
.
So that is what you learned by,that is the knowledge that you
gained by reading the journal.
Speaker 4 (02:12:55):
Hmm.
James (02:13:02):
I will communicate it to
Zanros.
Sure, yeah, so this is a placethat we can forge stuff.
It's the forge of spells and itwas created.
Gnomes and dwarves came downhere, found wave Echo Cave, and
(02:13:22):
the location of it has been lost, but it contains a thing called
spells.
So what about what else can Ifind in here as far as materials
(02:13:43):
or, you know, parchment forspells, ink, stuff like that?
Andrew (02:13:48):
Certainly so.
Most of the materials in thisroom have have little to no
value.
You do discover three bottlesthat you recognize.
What, what the contents are ofthose bottles?
One contains mercury, Onecontains dragon bile and one
(02:14:11):
contains powdered nightshade.
The value of these are worth 25gold pieces each to an
apothecary or alchemist.
Catherine (02:14:31):
Yes.
Andrew (02:14:31):
Zanros, I have nothing
to say, but you're laughing.
Catherine (02:14:34):
I am.
Andrew (02:14:34):
About what?
None of your business.
None of, I'm sorry.
What are you laughing about?
Catherine (02:14:41):
I'm just watching a
woman being attacked by a goose.
Fable (02:14:45):
Is it the one?
I think it is.
Catherine (02:14:46):
The one where she
gets in the car and it follows
her in Wow, what Okay.
Andrew (02:14:56):
Pause in action.
Catherine (02:14:59):
Okay, so this guy has
pulled up.
Oh, I've seen this beingattacked by the goose.
James (02:15:03):
Yeah, A goose is just a
world-ending event waiting to
happen.
Okay, this is weird.
Oh, my God, it's in the car.
Fable (02:15:12):
Oh shit, that's funny.
Catherine (02:15:14):
Yeah, okay, you want
to see this one.
Have you seen this one?
I think?
Andrew (02:15:18):
I'm sure I've seen this.
Yes, I've seen this Very funny.
Catherine (02:15:21):
When it gets in the
car?
Andrew (02:15:23):
Yes, oh yeah.
James (02:15:24):
So I don't know.
I probably sent you some nowand again.
I think Andrew knows that I'malways the you know on forums
and stuff people go.
Well, you know, I need a goodyou know.
Catherine (02:15:41):
I need a good you
know.
James (02:15:42):
I need a good monster to
send out after my party and I'm
like, make it a goose A gooseand give it the stats of a
Tarrasque and have it follow theparty forever.
Catherine (02:15:50):
Well, you know,
Andrew had an unfortunate run-in
with a goose as a child.
Andrew (02:15:55):
In Van Zandt Park.
I was attacked.
I was attacked by a goose InVan Zandt Park.
Catherine (02:16:02):
I am positive I was
attacked by a goose In Van Zandt
Park.
I am positive, you provoked thegoose.
Andrew (02:16:04):
How could I, as a child,
provoke a goose?
Catherine (02:16:07):
I can think of many
ways you could provoke a goose.
Were you chasing the goose?
Andrew (02:16:11):
No, Did you throw
something at the?
Catherine (02:16:12):
goose.
Did you look at the goose wrong?
Andrew (02:16:15):
I was jumped, I was
minding my own business.
Catherine (02:16:22):
As you are so wont to
do.
Andrew (02:16:24):
As I always.
Catherine (02:16:24):
I think of Andrew, I
think minding my own.
Fable (02:16:27):
What was that picture
last night Looking out the
window?
Catherine (02:16:32):
Oh yeah, Looking out
the window at the cops.
I sent Fable a picture of youon the sofa staring out the
window at the police activityoutside.
James (02:16:41):
What was the police
activity?
Catherine (02:16:42):
Oh my god, it was
good.
Zanros (02:16:44):
So I come down the
stairs.
James (02:16:45):
So can you blame him?
It was good, oh no it was great.
Catherine (02:16:48):
I come down the
stairs, I look out the little
window in the door.
I see no fewer than six carsparked on the street, all with
their lights on.
Andrew (02:16:57):
I'm like what's going on
?
This is weird.
Catherine (02:17:00):
Then I see cops like
on either side of the car, in
the front, then there's no onein the car, but the cops are
searching the car and I'm likethis is so fun.
Then rachel comes home fromacross the street and says one
of our neighbors, and then thetruck was towed.
So oh my Mm-hmm.
(02:17:22):
It went on for a long time too.
Fable (02:17:25):
And I missed all of it.
Yeah, I know I'm so annoyed.
All right, sorry, one time Ileave the house.
Catherine (02:17:36):
Tangent, so I've
shown you Okay, so we could sell
some stuff to the apothecary.
James (02:17:38):
Yes, james, I just want
to make sure that like now that
I know that you were attacked bya goose, you've either got to
think that I'm just the biggestasshole for sending you all
these goose things Because it'sto me, it's a running, it's a
running bit that.
Andrew (02:17:54):
I think it's hysterical.
James (02:17:58):
Like I have been.
I was by Ringwood Manor andthere was a whole flock of geese
and they were walking acrossthe road and I had a big truck
horn in my truck at that timeand I hit the horn and three
geese just went like this theyspread their wings as wide as
possible to cover the flock andthey all honked at me and I'm
like, oh, I'm just going to sithere until they're done, because
(02:18:19):
that is absolutely aggressive.
They heard about you yeah, plus,I have a theory that canadian
geese, or better known as cobra,death chickens, um contain all
the negativity of canadians.
That's why canadians are sonice, because they infuse their
(02:18:40):
geese with all their negativeemotions and then they send them
to america.
You know?
Send them out yes, spread theirevil yes it's a good theory.
Fable (02:18:54):
I'd subscribe.
James (02:18:55):
I subscribed to that and
I mean look, the motto of
canadians has always been it'sonly a war crime the second time
around.
So there's a certain duality ofthat you know like you know,
indeed, the sweet love of maplesyrup versus death chickens.
You know, cobra death chickenswilling to commit war crimes.
(02:19:16):
So there you go.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.
And Skether just shakes herhead.
Andrew (02:19:30):
All right, are we ready
to continue?
Yes, okay, so that's everythingthat you can see in here in
this room the journal Yep andthe three bottles of of items.
So what you notice in this room.
(02:19:51):
Again, that that's everythingin this room.
There's the door that you camethrough and there's a door on
the eastern wall to the right.
Catherine (02:20:00):
We're starting to run
out of places to go and so far
we've only run into three redbrands, which means I feel like
we're coming up for a big battle.
James (02:20:13):
See, I mean, I guess the
question that I'm asking is that
we ran into how many in thecistern.
It was like two or three there.
Andrew (02:20:23):
There was about, there
was about three in the in that
room, room behind the cistern.
James (02:20:28):
Yeah.
Andrew (02:20:29):
You ran into the, the
skeletons.
Catherine (02:20:31):
Oh, I forgot about
the skeleton.
Andrew (02:20:32):
The skeletons in the
crypt.
Right there's the three redbrands in the in the in the jail
in the in the jail, in the jail, the holding cells um and then
and that's the three the threethat we killed in the sleeping
giant, or the right, right,right, right, unruly orc.
Yes, yeah, the surly orc thesurly orc yes, I just feel like.
Catherine (02:20:54):
I just feel like the
farther into this we get, the
more dangerous it's about to getum okay.
So farther into this we get,the more dangerous it's about to
get Um okay, so we've got adoor, we can either basically,
yeah, you're like you're talking.
Oh sorry, I well I'm looking atthe map, yeah, so, uh, we can
(02:21:15):
go out the way we came, or wecan go through this other little
door.
So there's a door to the eastand then there's the door we
came through.
James (02:21:25):
Let's go to the door, to
the east.
Catherine (02:21:28):
Okay, should we
listen at it before we try to
open it?
James (02:21:33):
Yeah, does anybody have a
better investigation than I do?
I think mine's a plus one.

Catherine (02:33:02):
I've already got my
quarterstaff out, so let's do
this.
Andrew (02:33:05):
Right on what to roll
with, because they're all
rolling so shitty today.
Catherine (02:33:15):
That is 21.
No 23.

Is that not 20 or?
17 plus six, oh geez.
Well, you definitely, youdefinitely are going to hit
glass staff.
Catherine (02:33:34):
Yeah, I'm going to go
for the knees, yeah.
Andrew (02:33:39):
Okay.
Catherine (02:33:39):
Don't want to strain
myself, so I'm just going to
kneecap him.
Andrew (02:33:44):
Okay.
Fable (02:33:45):
Don't you mean de-kneekap
?
Andrew (02:33:51):
Go ahead.
Catherine (02:33:51):
Oh, I'm sorry, he's
got information.
I am so tired of you already.
Then she takes the quarterstaffand just whams him in the legs
right in the knees.
Andrew (02:34:05):
For how many points?
Catherine (02:34:06):
of damage.
We shall see, I don't know.
Six oh so five.
Andrew (02:34:21):
Zanrose yes.
Oh so five Zanros, yes, howwould you?
Catherine (02:34:28):
like to do this.
Okay, so he's going to go downon his knees because I just
slammed him so hard in the kneeswith this quarterstaff, and
then I'm going to take thequarterstaff and slam him in the
back of the head with it.
Andrew (02:34:43):
Wow.
So you whack him right in theknees.
He drops to his knees.
Yep, you take another swing.
Yep, hit him in the back of thehead.
He was already weakened, he wasalready losing a lot of blood,
because Callie had done so muchpiercing damage to him that he
(02:35:06):
was already losing a lot ofblood, so he was already very
faint.
So with that hit to the back ofthe head, you just crushed his
skull and he just falls forward,face first, right under the
floor and is completely dead.
Fable (02:35:22):
Hey, you didn't even let
me have a hit on him sorry, dude
master of the arcane arts.
Zanros (02:35:30):
Nicely done still
squishy as hell yep.
Catherine (02:35:35):
James is like he had
information.
I know he did cause, isn't he?
James is like he hadinformation, I know he did when
he does.
James (02:35:42):
Because, isn't he?
Yeah, I just I think becauseshe wants her dead.
And he just said she just wantspower.
Catherine (02:35:56):
I didn't like her,
but I liked him less.
Andrew (02:36:01):
Was there more to the
story?
Perhaps Damn it, you will neverknow.
James (02:36:13):
Can you speak with that
head?
Andrew (02:36:22):
Did somebody know the
way to the Wave Echo Cave?
Oh God, Perhaps.
James (02:36:30):
They're officially murder
, hobos.
Andrew (02:36:32):
He also knew the way to
San Jose, but that's another.
Or Santa Fe, santa Fe not.
Speaker 4 (02:36:37):
San Jose, santa Fe,
san Jose or.
Andrew (02:36:38):
Santa Fe, Santa Fe, I'm
not.
Speaker 4 (02:36:39):
San Jose, santa Fe,
san Jose or Santa Fe.
James (02:36:40):
Santa Fe yeah.
Andrew (02:36:41):
Santa Fe.
I'm thinking about rent Wait.
Zanros (02:36:45):
Okay, what.
Catherine (02:36:49):
No, I'm just thinking
.
Speaker 4 (02:36:50):
What are you?
Catherine (02:36:50):
thinking, thinking
about this I haven't found the
bugbears yet.
Maybe the bugbears knowsomething.
What are you looking up?
I'm not looking up anything.
I'm looking to see if I cantalk to animals.
Andrew (02:37:00):
Oh, can you talk to?
Catherine (02:37:01):
animals?
I don't think.
James (02:37:04):
I can.
I'm just a very angry rockgnome.
Wasn't it the bugbear with the?
Catherine (02:37:09):
goblins.
I thought there were bugbearsin here.
Fable (02:37:13):
I swear there were a
couple of bugbears in here.
Well, we did kill one.
Catherine (02:37:21):
Yeah, we killed the
one with the goblin, but there's
at least two, I think.
Is there only?
James (02:37:28):
the one bugbear.
Andrew (02:37:32):
So I will tell you,
there was mention of bugbears
inside of Trescender Manor.
Catherine (02:37:38):
Okay.
Oh, it's Halia Thornton.
I couldn't find her name,that's.
I think she's fine.
I don't like her.
Zanros (02:37:47):
I don't like her either,
but I think she's better than
Glasstaff.
Catherine (02:37:49):
Why do you like him?
Because he's a spellcasterPrejudiced against
non-spellcasters.
James (02:37:54):
No, no, but usually
somebody Just the way she was
made me very suspicious of her.
It makes me very suspicious ofher true motives and effectively
she's running the town becauseHarbin Westers milk toast.
Andrew (02:38:14):
So, now that you have
this dead body in front of you,
what would you like to do?
James (02:38:21):
Luke search, search the
room, search his desk.
Andrew (02:38:28):
You're good, so, equine,
you're going to search, or
who's who's doing what?
James (02:38:32):
I'm going to search, I'm
going to do an investigation.
Check this desk.
Catherine (02:38:35):
I'd like to rifle
through his robes.
Andrew (02:38:42):
He has nothing on his
person.
Zanros (02:38:43):
Okay.
Andrew (02:38:45):
On the desk.
Various papers and notes arestacked neatly on the desk,
mostly consisting of his writtenorders to apothecaries and
alchemists and nearbysettlements for more materials
for his workshop.
However, you do also find aletter rolled up and sealed with
a wax symbol in the shape of aspider.
Zanros (02:39:09):
Oh, no, oh.
Catherine (02:39:13):
He was running the
spider.
James (02:39:15):
He's working with the
spider.
Catherine (02:39:18):
I wonder how our
friend is doing.
James (02:39:19):
Okay so, wait so it how
our friend is doing.
Okay, so wait so it's rolled upand it's sealed.
Andrew (02:39:25):
Correct.
James (02:39:27):
Is there a wax seal
anywhere in the desk?
Andrew (02:39:31):
Give me an investigation
check.
James (02:39:32):
Well, I rolled an
investigation, oh, you did so.
No, there is not 19.
Andrew (02:39:35):
I just whatever there,
there is no wax seal.
Catherine (02:39:40):
Oh, so is it from the
spider.
He just hasn't read it yet.
Read it.
Andrew (02:39:45):
Read it.
Read it who would like to readit?
Catherine (02:39:50):
I'll read it.
Fable (02:39:50):
Dal.
Andrew (02:39:55):
Okay, dal, so you open
up, you open up, you break the
wax seal, correct, yes, correct.
So give me a dexterity savingthrow.
James (02:40:03):
No, I'm just kidding,
just kidding actually a poison
seal would be quite quite rightso you read the letter.
Andrew (02:40:17):
Lord Albrecht, my spies
in Neverwinter tell me that
strangers are due to arrive inPhandalin.
They could be working for thedwarves.
Capture them if you can, killthem if you must, but don't
allow them to upset our plans.
(02:40:37):
See that any dwarven maps intheir possession are delivered
to me with haste.
I'm counting on you, yarno,don't disappoint me.
James (02:40:52):
Yarno.
Catherine (02:40:54):
Are we the strangers?
I think we are.
James (02:40:58):
I think we are the
strangers.
But you know he's talking aboutGundren and then any maps,
because he had a map, becausewhat's?
Mcculloch said that he had amap.
Sildar, sildar yeah, sildar hadmentioned that Gundren had a
(02:41:30):
map yes, someone give me ahistory check.
Catherine (02:41:37):
I'm plus 3 for
history.
I rolled a 15 17.
I'm plus three for history.
I rolled a 15.
17.
Andrew (02:41:52):
18.
So, as Dal is reading thisletter out loud, you all
recognize this name.
E Arno Albrecht.
James (02:42:37):
If you recall, sildar
mentioned this name Last staff
is the leader of the Red Brands.
Oh, you got the thing, becausethe spider has sent bugbears to
reinforce the red brands.
Catherine (02:42:46):
Oh, sildar is
investigating the disappearance
of Yarno Albrecht.
Andrew (02:42:52):
Yes.
Catherine (02:42:57):
Uh-huh.
Fable (02:43:00):
Oh, I think we can help
him out with that.
Oh, didn't we get 100 gold toget rid of Glass Staff?
That's written down in my notes.
Catherine (02:43:05):
Oh, is that what she
was offering?
Fable (02:43:07):
us yeah.
James (02:43:09):
I don't think we should
tell her, and then, right after
that I wrote she has ulteriormotives.
Catherine (02:43:13):
Mm-hmm, we don't have
to tell her he's dead, right?
I don't think we should.
James (02:43:19):
Mm-hmm.
Andrew (02:43:22):
All right.
So you've investigated the desk, you've looted the body and
there was nothing there.
What else would you like to do?
Catherine (02:43:38):
What else should we
do?
James (02:43:43):
What else should we do?
So we pretty much ensured thatwe've thoroughly searched his
quarters.
Is there any?
Andrew (02:43:49):
You haven't thoroughly
searched the quarters.
You searched the body and yousearched the desk.
James (02:43:54):
Okay, let's investigate
the rest of the room.
Fable (02:43:58):
That would be a 21.
For the room, that would be a21 for the room I got a 17.
Catherine (02:44:07):
9.
Andrew (02:44:09):
So you notice that there
is a sturdy wooden chest at the
foot of the bed.
Catherine (02:44:15):
Okay.
James (02:44:19):
Is it?
I'll try to open it.
Is it a keyed chest?
Is it a padlock, or is it a?
Andrew (02:44:33):
It appears to be
unlocked.
James (02:44:36):
Okay.
Andrew (02:44:38):
You sure you want to
open it?
James (02:44:41):
I want to open it in a
very specific way.
Andrew (02:44:44):
Okay.
James (02:44:50):
So if this were the chest
, I do not want to be in front
of it.
Andrew (02:44:57):
Okay.
James (02:44:59):
I don't want anybody in
front of it.
Okay, I want to lift it infront of it.
Okay, I want to lift it openfrom the side.
Andrew (02:45:03):
Okay yeah, give me a
strength check Shit.
I just love doing this to him.
James (02:45:18):

Andrew (02:46:52):

scrolls.
Speaker 4 (02:46:58):
Oh hello.
Andrew (02:47:02):
Upon further inspection,
you see that it is a spell
scroll of hold person and aspell scroll of fireball.
Zanros (02:47:17):
Yes.
James (02:47:22):
Nice, how small is the
room.
Andrew (02:47:27):
It is small enough that
a fireball would consume the in
everything within the room.
Zanros (02:47:32):
I will kill, you will
kill you.
Fable (02:47:38):
Don't make things worse
than they are you know what that
reminded me of what you justdid.
This is going to take me onesecond this place is already a
ruin.
James (02:47:49):
It's the ultimate Leroy
Jenkins move, oh my god, oh yeah
, everybody lives.
Yes.
Andrew (02:47:57):
Yes, exactly.
Catherine (02:47:58):
Do you want to watch
my fat butt go?
Over the dining room table atJames, gotta do it able kiss
forever that's right.
Andrew (02:48:09):
You have successfully
defeated glass staff.
You have not finished clearingout tricender manor, aka the Red
Brand Hideout.
As you can see, there there'sreally three more areas left to
(02:48:31):
explore, because you've got thetwo rooms to the south and you
really haven't explored thecrevasse tavern area.
Fable (02:48:45):
Did we go down these
steps or these?
James (02:48:50):
No.
Catherine (02:48:50):
Or those.
Well, because I don't see anobvious door there, so we might
have to.
James (02:48:58):
Is it?
We'd have to find out if it wasaccessible from somewhere else,
because it's.
Andrew (02:49:04):
What's that?
A staircase that you don't know?
That's there.
James (02:49:09):
Right that we don't know.
That's there.
Andrew (02:49:10):
Right.
James (02:49:11):
Because clearly there's
no passage to it, correct?
Andrew (02:49:15):
Unbeknownst to you, but
knownst to me.
Knownst to me but knownst to me, knownst to me Knownst to the
DM.
What languages do I speak?
What?
James (02:49:31):
languages.
Do you speak English andSpanish English and.
Catherine (02:49:35):
Spanish, not in real
life, if you know both.
James (02:49:37):
You can speak Spanglish,
yes.
Catherine (02:49:39):
I mean, I could speak
Spanglish.
I probably speak somethingcloser to Spanglish, you can
Wait.
Fable (02:49:47):
where does it have my
languages Proficient?
Andrew (02:49:50):
On the main page, in the
lower left corner, under
proficiencies and languages.
Catherine (02:49:55):
Elvish and Gnomish.
Here's why I ask.
Andrew (02:50:00):
Yes.
Catherine (02:50:01):
Because I looked up
bugbears, because I wanted to
see if they're as cute asowlbears.
Andrew (02:50:06):
No.
Catherine (02:50:06):
They are not.
They are not, and they speak agoblin language.
Does anyone speak goblin?
Andrew (02:50:13):
Do they also speak
common?
Catherine (02:50:14):
It didn't say that.
I don't know.
Do they speak common?
Fable (02:50:18):
I do not speak goblin.
James (02:50:24):
No, I don't know do they
speak common.
Catherine (02:50:25):
I do not speak no and
the only thing I have that is
grunts, snarls and gesturescommon okay, they do.
Okay, they do speak common okaygood to know.
Dee, dee, dee Dee, can youspeak to the bug bears?
Um say hello bug bears.
I am dd.
James (02:50:45):
Look how cute I am I have
discovered something else, and
I think it's when I took theinvocations yes that I have.
What did you discover?
Devil's sight, devil's sight,so you can see, normally in
darkness, both magical andnon-magical, to a distance of
120 feet.
Andrew (02:51:01):
To 120 feet Interesting.
James (02:51:06):
Because I didn't have
that when we encountered the
goblins.
Andrew (02:51:11):
Right, right, because
that was too dark for you to see
.
James (02:51:15):
Right, right, right I had
nothing at that point.
Andrew (02:51:20):
This whole area is
pretty well lit.
James (02:51:22):
It's all lit up this
place is lit, let's just really
know where we can get low, low,low.
Andrew (02:51:32):
Yes, you're all going to
get low, so where would you
like to go?
So you are currently in thebedroom of Glass Staff.
You've investigated that.
You've investigated hisworkshop, okay.
James (02:51:47):
Have we tossed the bed
and everything I mean?
Have we?
Andrew (02:51:52):
You can if you'd like.
Sure Roll an investigation,check I'll investigate further.
I dig up.
Do you need help?
So?
So, as our friend here, iquium,is trying to lift the bed to
(02:52:20):
look under it, he happens tothrow his back out.
Zanros (02:52:25):
Oh no, why didn't you
just wait for help, my god.
Andrew (02:52:31):
He is now in crippling
pain on the floor.
Great Super.
Someone wrote a critical fail,not me.
Catherine (02:52:47):
What do we have?
Let's see, do I have anythingthat can help him?
James (02:52:53):
We realize by now there's
nothing that can help me.
Andrew (02:52:58):
I do so enjoy the lack
of strength.
It's a great storytelling point.
James (02:53:06):
I 100% agree.
That is what has you know.
Obviously we're talking abovethe table, so it is that.
Andrew (02:53:15):
Yes, it is that 100%,
hey, if?
James (02:53:17):
you fail.
Right, there's this.
If you have to do a strengthcheck, it's just comedy.
Andrew (02:53:23):
Right, you better roll a
nat 20, or else you're going to
.
James (02:53:25):
Right, there's the
greater impetus for me to roll a
nat 20 on any athletics orstrength check.
Andrew (02:53:32):
Yes.
James (02:53:33):
So that I can at least
get a 17.
Catherine (02:53:34):
Correct, I'm playing
the drums Gauntlets of overpower
.
I'm playing the drums Gauntletsof ogre power.
Andrew (02:53:41):
So, now that Iquium is
writhing in pain, what are the
rest of you doing?
Catherine (02:53:47):
Del.
Do you have anything that canheal him?
Fable (02:53:52):
Like potion.
Catherine (02:53:53):
I don't know, I cast
fireball.
No, I do not cast fireball.
Well, he's not.
Andrew (02:53:57):
I was going to say
Because it really doesn't take
away HP fireball.
No, I do not cast fireball.
Well, he's not.
I was going to say because itreally doesn't take away HP.
Catherine (02:54:05):
I know, but we can't.
What are we going to do withhim rolling around on the floor?
Andrew (02:54:11):
There's always the
option to carry him.
Catherine (02:54:14):
Could we put him on?
No, we can put him on Callie'sback.
Okay, callie.
Like I said, I need a goblinbeorn, put him on Callie's back.
Andrew (02:54:19):
Okay, callie.
James (02:54:21):
All right, like I said, I
need a goblin beorn.
Yeah, you do.
Yes, absolutely so.
Catherine (02:54:27):
Dal and I are going
to well.
I will help as much as I can,but Dal mostly is going to put
Iquium onto Callie's back.
Andrew (02:54:33):
Okay, so now Iquium is
clutched onto Callie's back.
Catherine (02:54:42):
Whining and crying.
Andrew (02:54:43):
Yes.
Catherine (02:54:46):
I assume you're
whining and crying Oy vey, oh,
my God yeah.
Andrew (02:54:52):
Oh my, that seems
correct.
James (02:54:53):
It's better than the time
I sneezed.
I was out for weeks.
Speaker 4 (02:54:56):
Yeah really All right
.
So where would you.
Andrew (02:54:56):
I was out for weeks?
Yeah, really, oh, my God, allright.
So where would you so?
Do you so?
In Nick Williams' attempt toinvestigate the rest of the room
, that clearly failed.
So what would you two like todo now?
Catherine (02:55:09):
I mean, I'd like to
look under the bed.
I'm tiny, I should be able toshimmy under there.
Andrew (02:55:13):
You certainly can.
So roll an investigation, check, let's say, with advantage.
Since you're so short and wee,how would you have advantage on
that 19.
?
Okay, you find absolutelynothing.
Catherine (02:55:29):
I'm sorry, that was
actually a 20 with my plus one.
Nothing under the bed.
Even more nothing.
Andrew (02:55:33):
Even more nothing.
There is nothing but dust,bunnies, ikram why didn't you
just let us help?
Zanros (02:55:39):
Oh my God, there's
nothing under here.
James (02:55:42):
It looked like a cistern
to me.
Zanros (02:55:44):
Cistern, cistern, oh man
.
Andrew (02:55:51):
Just a cistern looking
for her mistern, so like because
we were talking about Sister,Sister.
Catherine (02:55:56):
Yeah.
Andrew (02:55:57):
It's again Mike Dowdy.
Catherine (02:55:59):
Yes.
Andrew (02:55:59):
From Soul Coughing, yes,
and now on his own solo stuff
talking about sister sister.
Yeah, it's again mike dowdy,yeah, from from um soul coughing
, yes, and now on on his ownsolo stuff.
But he has.
He's got the one song with thewith the lyric in it james
vanderbeek and them sisters fromsister sister, and it's like.
It's like permanently stuck inmy head james vanderbeek and
them sisters from sister sister.
Catherine (02:56:18):
Wow, it's just it's
stuck in my head.
Soul Coughing has been defunctsince 2000.
Andrew (02:56:25):
Yeah.
Catherine (02:56:26):
Wow.
He's released 11 albums.
Andrew (02:56:29):
Yeah, he has.
Catherine (02:56:30):
Starting with Hottie
Melodic.
Andrew (02:56:32):
Yeah, phenomenal album.
Catherine (02:56:34):
Yeah, Hottie
Melodic's a really good one.
Andrew (02:56:36):
It really is.
Catherine (02:56:37):
They used a bunch of
songs from that album in uh
veronica mars did they really?
Andrew (02:56:41):
yes, you're right, they
did.
I do remember that, yeah, whenlogan and yeah, that's right
having that big, deepconversation, the?
Catherine (02:56:47):
what is it?
The bells, I can hear the bells, I hear the bells yeah, yeah,
yeah it's playing in thebackground yeah, amazing he.
Andrew (02:56:54):
I I still have.
I still have to go back andread his memoir.
Oh yeah, the book of drugs,because he was.
He was like a big drug addictwhen he was in Soul Coughing,
like that was like the wholething got himself clean.
The band broke up.
But his music is just amazing.
I love the music.
(02:57:15):
I love the lyrics.
He's just brilliant.
The Haughty Melodic I got you onLP.
Yes, you did Haughty melodic.
It's great.
Busting up a starbucks greatsong.
Sometimes I just feel likebusting up a starbucks.
It's like it's just.
There's just some like great,great tunes.
He did a whole.
He did a remake album of abunch of the soul coughing songs
(02:57:37):
, like reimagined the songs andthey're one of my favorite songs
.
I think how I got into SoulCoughing was they did a song on
the X-Files album, songs in theKey of X, which were songs
inspired by the X-Files, andSoul Coughing did this song
(02:58:01):
called Unmarked Helicopters,which is just a great tune.
And that's how I kind of gothooked on Soul Coughing.
I'm like this is a greatfucking tune.
And then all their other Ruby,vroom, good, good stuff.
Catherine (02:58:19):
This has been your
Mike Dowdy corner that's right.
Andrew (02:58:22):
Love you, mike dowdy
your mike dowdy minute your mike
dowdy minute anyway yeah wherewould you like to go?
Catherine (02:58:29):
all right, so where?
Speaker 4 (02:58:30):
haven't we been.
Catherine (02:58:31):
Yet we haven't gone
over here, we haven't really
gone through here, right?
James (02:58:35):
so we've got here it's
here, that's easy enough,
because that's yeah, we're rightthere.
Oh, there's another thing.
Okay, oh yeah, and there's easyenough, because that's yeah,
we're right there.
Catherine (02:58:41):
Oh, there's another
thing.
Okay, oh yeah, and there's astaircase.
Maybe that's how we getdownstairs, but that goes up.
What?
Andrew (02:58:47):
You already went down.
You already went downstairs.
Catherine (02:58:49):
Oh, we went
downstairs.
Andrew (02:58:50):
Okay, went down the
stairs, you went into the one
room.
Catherine (02:58:53):
I say wow.
Zanros (02:58:57):
Okay, I, oh, I need to
figure out what's down those
other stairs eventually, becausethis is my BM.
Catherine (02:59:00):
No those go those.
Andrew (02:59:01):
Just, you can't see
those stairs, but those stairs
go up.
Oh, okay, that's an ascendingfrom the floor you're on, that's
an ascending staircase, Okay.
So if you, if you had gone thatway, you would have gone down,
you'd have gone down from theupper floor to where you are
right now.
Catherine (02:59:20):
Got it.
Andrew (02:59:21):
That's, that's why.
Okay, that leads back to whereyou were.
Zanros (02:59:24):
Got it Back to the level
.
Andrew (02:59:26):
Correct, correct Okay.
Catherine (02:59:28):
So you want to go?
Yeah, let's.
Let's listen at this door Tothe South.
James (02:59:31):
Yeah, to the South.
Okay, south door from where wejust came from.
Catherine (02:59:35):
Well, I guess Dal or
I are going to listen at the
door because you're trying toincapacitate us.
Plus, my investigation is Allright, I'm going to investigate,
unless you want Callie toinvestigate.
She's got pretty goodperception.
Do you want me to do it or youwant?
Andrew (02:59:48):
Give me a perception
check.
Catherine (02:59:51):
Okay, Perception,
perception, perception.
What do I have on perception?
Sorry.
Zanros (03:00:11):
I'm perception.
Catherine (03:00:13):
Sorry, oh, there, it
is Okay.
19.
Fable (03:00:17):
Now what Nine Maybe do a
perception.
Andrew (03:00:21):
Oh, maybe it was just
I've got a ten, a ten yes okay,
so you are, you hear, you hearsome noise.
It's hard to make out what thenoise is, but it sounds it
almost.
I'm trying to describe italmost.
It's hard to make out what thenoise is, but it sounds it
(03:00:43):
almost.
I'm trying to describe italmost.
Sounds like you hear that kindof Almost like something, almost
like dice being played.
Okay, you hear that Exactly.
Thank you, fable.
You hear that exact type ofsound.
There's some shouts, somegroans, just a group of voices
(03:01:09):
that you hear in the room.
Oh boy, it doesn't sound like aton of people, but there's more
than one, fewer than it's ahandful.
Let's say it's a handful ofpeople a handful of voices.
James (03:01:26):
These are not friends we
could go to kind of a dark place
uh, huh we could cut off LastStaff's head and deliver him via
Mage Hand and just drop hishead in the room and go.
He's dead.
(03:01:46):
You can leave now.
Andrew (03:01:49):
Damn.
Catherine (03:01:50):
Yeah, the thing is,
just because he's gone, I don't
think they'll go, because heclearly was not the head of the
operation.
James (03:01:58):
I mean he had that letter
to Spider.
Catherine (03:02:00):
We're assuming that
is Well the letter of the
operation.
I mean he had that letter toSpider.
We're assuming that is Well.
The letter was from Spider andSpider was like you better do
what I tell you.
The letter from Spider made it,I thought, made it clear that
Spider's in charge.
James (03:02:18):
So, but I thought, we
were told that he was the head
of.
Catherine (03:02:21):
He's the head of the
Redbrands, but I think Spider's
his boss.
Andrew (03:02:24):
Glass.
Yeah, so this is.
It's a relatively flatorganization.
It's you have to deal with amatrixed environment.
So, there's dotted lines.
Who's?
James (03:02:36):
shifting the paradigm
Right exactly.
Andrew (03:02:38):
So the Redbrands report
right up to Glassstep, but a
dotted line to the spider.
So he's not their directmanager, but there's roles and
responsibilities in there.
Catherine (03:02:47):
But let's say, their
direct manager is now dead.
Andrew (03:02:50):
But let's say their
direct manager is now dead.
They're going to have an issuewith that.
Catherine (03:02:55):
Yeah, and they're not
going to just take off, even if
we send them his head.
Andrew (03:02:58):
Because spiders relate
to home office.
This is a satellite office.
Catherine (03:03:03):
This is Dunder.
Mifflin Utica Right and they'refrom corporate.
Andrew (03:03:07):
Right, exactly.
So Michael Scott is Glass Staff.
Catherine (03:03:13):
We just killed
Michael Scott.
Andrew (03:03:15):
You just killed Michael
Scarn.
This is threat level midnight.
Ladies and gentlemen.
James (03:03:24):
I'm just here to fuck up
Dwight.
Catherine (03:03:26):
So the spider is
David Wallace.
Andrew (03:03:29):
Yes, yes, david Wallace
is the spider.
You nailed it.
How did you figure that out?
James (03:03:37):
It wasn't for you kids
and that pesky dog.
That's right, I've gotten awaywith this plan, oh boy.
Andrew (03:03:43):
All right.
So the short answer is yes, soimmediately.
Glass Staff is the head of thered brands.
Catherine (03:03:50):
Yes, so we are.
Andrew (03:03:52):
He is Glass Staff
himself is working for the
Spider, but all the red brandswork directly for Glass Staff.
They don't necessarily knowthere's another relationship.
They're they're just.
Catherine (03:04:03):
they just report up
to glass staff and do do his
bidding so I mean, we coulddeliver glass staff's head, but
I don't think they're gonnaleave just because we do.
I think it might just make themmadder like what if we go in
and I'm just like oh, oh, hey,it's me, zanrose, this is my B&B
, get out.
James (03:04:26):
I could always try the
Callie and I go in and go look
he got changed into a dog andsee how that goes again.
Catherine (03:04:32):
Hey guys, I'm hurt.
Help, help, help.
Speaker 4 (03:04:38):
Or or run in the room
who's running you I feel.
Andrew (03:04:46):
Yeah, you're not running
anywhere because you're on the
back of Callie right now.
James (03:04:50):
Yeah, you're not running.
I feel funny and then go out ofthe door and then Callie comes
in the door.
Andrew (03:04:55):
With a cloak on.
Yeah, nice, you can try.
Catherine (03:05:07):
You can certainly try
, he can certainly try, I can't.
He can't run.
James (03:05:08):
He's whimpering on the
face of the time, we could try
to go around it, or we couldsplit the party and go in both
doors, or we could split theparty and go in both doors,
assuming we can find the otherdoor, if there's another door
Because we don't, as of yet,it's unbeknownst.
Andrew (03:05:28):
Correct, that is correct
.
It's knownst to someone Knownstto the mapmaker.
So what is your plan?
You're kind of all crowded inthis little hallway.
Catherine (03:05:43):
An alcove and there's
somebody inside playing a game
of some sort.
We have to decide what we'redoing, yeah yes like do we send
you in?
And you pretend to be, like youtry to pull off the.
Hey look, I'm just an averagered brand thing again.
Yeah, yep.
James (03:06:02):
I'm just a red brand.
Andrew (03:06:03):
Yes, I'm only a red
brand and I'm sitting on this
dire wolf.
Wow, yeah, wow, thank you Wasthat not a compliment.
Wow Okay, so that, not acompliment.
Wow Okay.
(03:06:23):
So what are you going to?
What's going on?
Catherine (03:06:25):
We can either send
you in or I can go in just kind
of like puttering around Settingup a job fair.
Yeah, exactly here I am at theB&B hey, who are you?
He's like oh, you didn't know,I own this house.
Yeah, this is my B&B, hey whoare you?
Fable (03:06:39):
He's like oh, you didn't
know, I own this house.
Catherine (03:06:41):
Yeah, this is my B&B.
What are you doing here?
James (03:06:46):
Are you here for a job?
You're welcome to, but you'regoing to have to be employed by
me.
Yeah, you're going to have towork.
Catherine (03:06:52):
No free rides at the
B&B.
Andrew (03:06:53):
Nope.
So what's happening?
Catherine (03:06:56):
How do you want to do
this?
James (03:07:01):
That's my line, I know.
Okay, so the options are I justgo in and play it off like I'm
just one of them.
Yeah, okay.
Catherine (03:07:07):
Or I go in like I
don't realize that the place is
crawling with red brands and I'mjust, you know, coming in to
check out the place and startcleaning up place and start
cleaning up, or we drop GlassStaff's body in the midst of
them.
Well, yes, that is.
That seems to be your preferredstrategy, but I think we might
(03:07:31):
be able to get some informationout of whoever's in there first.
I kind of went a little.
My my unending rage towardGlass Staff is what got him
killed so fast.
James (03:07:47):
Well, let's see.
Well, I mean you're going to beright on the other side of the
door.
So if I walk in just verynonchalantly- yeah, like we're
right outside.
Yeah.
Catherine (03:07:56):
Well, you're not
walking in, You're riding Callie
in.
Yeah, well, you're not walkingin.
You're riding Callie in.
Yeah, see, I feel like youshould go in on Callie's back
and be like, oh my God, guys,I'm hurt.
I was in town and I gotattacked.
James (03:08:17):
And then Mark turned into
a dire wolf, or she can have me
in her mouth and drop me.
Speaker 4 (03:08:21):
Oh.
James (03:08:23):
Just set me down.
And I just go nice doggy, nicedoggy, run for your lives.
Catherine (03:08:38):
He wants us to make a
decision.
Andrew (03:08:41):
And we could do this all
day, but Okay.
Catherine (03:08:47):
Is that from the
Captain America musical?
I could do this all day.
Fable (03:08:52):
Exactly, there's a
Captain America musical.
Catherine (03:08:54):
It's fake, but then
they made it at Disney.
So yeah.
But wasn't it part of Hawkeye?
Yes, yes, yeah, but there wasit part of Hawkeye, yes.
Andrew (03:09:01):
Yes.
Catherine (03:09:02):
Yeah, but there was
only the one song.
Oh, okay, and then they turnedit into Rogers, the Musical at
the parks.
Andrew (03:09:10):
Yeah, indeed, okay,
that's kind of funny.
James (03:09:20):
Can I walk?
Am I still hurting or do I needto be carried?
Andrew (03:09:24):
At this point, you still
need to be carried, okay.
Catherine (03:09:28):
You threw out your
back trying to lift a bed.
Yeah.
Andrew (03:09:35):
Dal, do you have any
suggestions?
Fable (03:09:39):
I mean Not really, not
besides what's already been put
out there.
So what would you like to do?
We could do what you weresuggesting.
What's that, callie?
James (03:09:57):
Like nonchalantly walk in
on Callie and say I've been
hurt, and there are, you know,even saying there are intruders.
Fable (03:10:05):
Yeah.
Catherine (03:10:07):
Okay, if you say
there are intruders, they're
going to come rushing out thedoor to where Dal and I are
standing True.
James (03:10:17):
And I can always attack
them from behind.
Unless you roll poorly in whichcase you're sending ducks.
Andrew (03:10:26):
I don't know how much
fighting you're doing right now
With your back thrown out.
James (03:10:37):
We have not.
Okay, theo Pimble, theo, theoPimble.
Andrew (03:10:40):
Theo Theo Pimble Bing.
James (03:10:45):
How you doing Theo.
Andrew (03:10:46):
Fine.
James (03:10:48):
How many people are
usually in this room?
How many red brands are thereto your knowledge?
Andrew (03:10:57):
This is just a room
where we hang out, so I mean, it
could be, it could be a, itcould be, it could be a couple,
it could be a dozen.
It all depends on who's here inthe hideout at any given time
how many people might be in thatroom.
But this is just a common roomwhere we hang out and kind of
blow off steam.
Catherine (03:11:18):
You're going to be
anybody not human in that room.
Andrew (03:11:22):
I've never seen it.
It's only been red brands, allthe red brands in that room.
I know there's talk of bugbears, but I wouldn't know where they
are.
Catherine (03:11:40):
I forgot I should be
in character.
Zanros (03:11:46):
So what rooms haven't
you gone into that you don't
know where the bugbears are?
Has anybody said, hey, stay outof that room, there's a bugbear
in there.
Andrew (03:11:56):
No, the bug.
Well, I haven't been here sinceI haven't been in this area of
the hideout like I've been inthis common room, like the only
places where I have.
I've never been in GlassStaff's quarters.
I would have thought maybethere'd be bugbears there
protecting him, but so I don'tknow where the bugbears could
possibly be at this point.
James (03:12:15):
Maybe the bugbears are on
a break maybe huh, is one named
Ross and one named Rachel.
Maybe the bugbears are on abreak, huh.
Is one named Ross and one namedRachel, Just asking for a
friend.
So we do have anotherpossibility, because how much
have you been, how much haveeither of you been injured?
Zanros (03:12:38):
I have full health.
Fable (03:12:40):
You have full health.
I'm 7 out of 12.
James (03:12:42):
What about spells and
stuff?
Fable (03:12:49):
I've only used one, no.
Catherine (03:12:50):
I haven't used any
spell slots.
Actually, I have used both ofmy key points, so I can't take
any bonus actions Right.
Fable (03:12:56):
I've been saving some
good spells.
James (03:12:58):
I mean I can get my spell
slots back if I have a short
rest.
I mean I can cast Elder's Blast, and that's what I do most of
the time.
Fable (03:13:05):
But any of my bigger ones
.
There's two big ones I've beensaving, which is Inflict Moons
and Guiding Will.
James (03:13:12):
Okay, so the question is,
we can also retreat to Glafst
Staff's room and try to rest,because is anybody else going to
come in and see him Into hisinner room?
Catherine (03:13:30):
Do we take a short
rest and then move on?
If we take a short rest, doesIquium get any of his health
back or does his back hurt less?
Andrew (03:13:43):
Iquium could use some of
his hit die to regain hit
points.
I know I said you didn't reallylose hit points, but we'll say
you have.
If you're able to take a shortrest, then you'd be well enough
to be mobile again.
Oh, I'll say that much.
Catherine (03:14:05):
So maybe we should
short rest.
James (03:14:06):
in that way you can walk
into the yeah, but I'll get my,
I'll get my two pack slots back,okay, um, that's all I and do I
need them?
I, I, I don't, I don't know.
Andrew (03:14:24):
So a short rest is what?
Roughly an hour, or one to fourhours.
So let's see.
Catherine (03:14:35):
So you're going to
retreat to Glass Staff's
quarters and try to attempt totake a short rest.
Andrew (03:14:39):
What does that mean?
Well, if anybody comes in tosee him, you're going to attempt
to it, and then we're going tosee if somebody discovers you or
not.
Okay, so, while you are.
(03:15:05):
So you're all huddled in, nothuddled, but you're all hanging
out in Glass Staff's quarters.
Catherine (03:15:13):
So it's the three of
us Callie, theo Pimble, and then
Myrna and the kids.
James (03:15:18):
Yes, In Glass Staff's
body which we prop up a la
Weekend at Bernie's.
Yes.
Catherine (03:15:24):
Put some sunglasses
on him.
Andrew (03:15:27):
So, as you are, as
you're trying to rest and heal
up, you hear Sir, sir, are youin there?
Are you awake?
Catherine (03:15:42):
So I think our best
bet at this point might be James
trying to imitate class staff.
Who dares?
James (03:15:48):
disturb me.
Andrew (03:15:53):
Roll for deception.
Oh boy Fable.
Catherine (03:15:58):
Oh, boy, okay 16.
Andrew (03:16:14):
I'm sorry, sir, but
there's.
We haven't seen you.
We need to know what to do next.
We haven't seen you.
James (03:16:26):
We need to know what to
do next.
What was Glass Staff wearingWas?
Catherine (03:16:35):
he wearing a hat or
anything?
What are we doing with the hat.
Andrew (03:16:39):
Remember he had the
boots with the fur.
Catherine (03:16:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes
, he did.
And the apple-bottom jeans.
He had the apple-bottom jeansand the boots with the fur.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes he didand the apple-bottom jeans.
Andrew (03:16:43):
He had the apple-bottom
jeans and the boots with the fur
.
No hat, though.
Catherine (03:16:48):
Did he have a cape?
Andrew (03:16:49):
He did have a cape, a
fur around the collar.
Catherine (03:16:55):
Furry cape.
Andrew (03:17:04):
Are you going to?
James (03:17:05):
strip a dead man naked?
No, I think it'll take too long.
I was going to take his capeand just put his cape against
the door and go.
You know.
Catherine (03:17:13):
What if we just try
to continue imitating him and be
like what do you usually dothis time of day?
James (03:17:22):
Well, I was going to say.
What did I tell you the lasttime?
This is ridiculous that I haveto answer all these questions.
I'm trying to formulate a newplan here.
Catherine (03:17:33):
I'm trying to nap.
Andrew (03:17:40):
We have a conference
call with the rest of the group
at the other building and we'rewaiting on you.
We've got the sending stoneready, we've got everything
hooked up.
We're just waiting for you tocome out and conduct the meeting
.
Catherine (03:17:54):
Cover the meeting
Always.
Oh, what if we tell them is themeeting with, is the meeting
with the spider?
Andrew (03:18:10):
No, because they're not
really aware.
So it's other red brands, oh.
James (03:18:16):
Other red brands.
Catherine (03:18:16):
Other red brands Just
tell them you need to cancel
because you're busy.
Sorry guys, I've double bookedand I need to cancel.
James (03:18:37):
I mean you could, I mean
you could, you could.
One of you could lift GlassStaff.
We put him up to the door andsay come in.
When the guy comes in, he fallsover and we all yell at the guy
(03:18:57):
, you killed him.
He's still going to wonder whothe hell we are.
Andrew (03:19:03):
Are you still
deliberating on what to do?
Catherine (03:19:05):
We don't know how
many, sir?
Andrew (03:19:08):
Sir, we don't know how
many.
We're going to be late for thecall, sir.
Catherine (03:19:12):
Just tell him we have
to cancel the call.
James (03:19:16):
We have to delay the call
.
I'm almost finished with thisformulation.
Andrew (03:19:21):
Another deception check
17.
Very well, sir.
What should I tell the rest ofthem?
Fable (03:19:37):
Get all life.
Catherine (03:19:39):
Go out into town and
terrorize the people.
Jesus Like, enjoy some freetime, you idiot oh.
Speaker 4 (03:19:51):
I know what we tell
them in a meeting, like this
Everybody gets half an hour back.
James (03:20:06):
Do we recall by any
chance how much ale was at the
sleeping, the unruly orc,whatever?
Andrew (03:20:12):
The surly orc.
James (03:20:13):
Surly orc.
Andrew (03:20:14):
How much ale.
James (03:20:15):
Like how much was an, ale
how much was a beer.
Andrew (03:20:17):
Oh, how much was it, how
much it was.
James (03:20:20):
Was it a couple of
coppers?
Andrew (03:20:21):
It was a couple of
copper.
It was a couple of copper,handful of copper pieces for an
ale.
James (03:20:28):
Here's what I'll do.
I'm going to take three goldand I'm going to just stick my
arm out the door and go go tothe pub.
Until I finish this formulation, I'll send for you Just my hand
out the door.
Andrew (03:20:47):
So what do you want this
to be?
Do you want this to bedeception, persuasion,
persuasion, persuasion.
So roll for persuasion 20.
James (03:20:59):
30-20.
Andrew (03:21:03):
Whatever you say, sir,
he takes the gold pieces and he
goes sorry to have bothered youand closes the door and takes
off.
Catherine (03:21:15):
Can we have our short
rest now?
Andrew (03:21:19):
You can have your short
rest now.
Nothing else will happen duringyour short rest, I'll be sure,
I'm very sure.
I assure you Surely, I am sure.
Don't call me, surely?
James (03:21:36):
It's the first room I
didn't walk into and start
trying to kill people.
Yeah.
Catherine (03:21:43):
How did it feel?
I've done a lot of work.
How does that feel?
James (03:21:46):
for you.
I still think we should killthem, but anyway.
Zanros (03:21:50):
Okay.
James (03:21:55):
So we take our short rest
.
Zanros (03:21:57):
Yes.
Andrew (03:22:00):
Yes, heal up, get some
spell slots back.
Catherine (03:22:05):
I got my key points
back.
Andrew (03:22:06):
Yay, key points.
Catherine (03:22:08):
That means I can
flurry of blows people.
Andrew (03:22:11):
Yes, slap them around.
Catherine (03:22:17):
Slap a bugbear.
Speaker 4 (03:22:23):
Mm-hmm.
Catherine (03:22:25):
Can you hear?
Andrew (03:22:25):
me now.
Can I hear you now?
Yeah, I'm like right up on it,I can hear you.
Fable (03:22:30):
Yeah, can you hear me?
Andrew (03:22:34):
I would prefer that you
were that close to the
microphone.
Catherine (03:22:36):
Oh, do you want me to
talk like this all the time?
Andrew (03:22:38):
You don't have to have
your mouth right up on it.
Catherine (03:22:41):
I think it's funnier
that way though.
Speaker 4 (03:22:42):
Hello.
Andrew (03:22:43):
Hello, welcome to the
delicious dish Mmm.
Catherine (03:22:49):
Sweaty balls.
Andrew (03:22:51):
Your balls taste so good
in my mouth.
They're a little salty.
Yes, they are a little salty.
What are you doing?
Oh, sweet Jesus.
James (03:23:03):
Is that your nose on your
face, or are you happy to see
me Nice?
Catherine (03:23:07):
My God I don't know,
maybe we'll walk away.
I'm just playing around.
Andrew (03:23:12):
Okay, bill Clinton with
that red nose Nice.
Hashtag couple goals, a few toomany to drink.
Catherine (03:23:22):
I had a dream in
which I was fully married to
somebody I went to college withlast night.
Andrew (03:23:26):
Wow.
Catherine (03:23:26):
Yeah, it wasn't you.
Andrew (03:23:29):
Because we didn't go to
college together.
James (03:23:33):
That makes sense.
Andrew (03:23:34):
Right, exactly If you're
going to marry somebody you
went to college with it wouldn'tbe me no.
Are we all ready?
Fable (03:23:45):
Yes.
Andrew (03:23:46):
Okay, have you completed
your short rest?
Catherine (03:23:48):
Yes.
Andrew (03:23:48):
Excellent.
So you're all healed up andyeah, ready to go.
Fable (03:23:54):
I did it and it didn't
give me any of my hit points
back, which is odd.
Andrew (03:23:58):
You have to roll.
Well, you have to.
You don't automatically get hitpoints back.
You have to use your hit diceto gain hit points back.
So you can choose.
You have at level two you havewhat two hit dice, or three hit
dice, two hit dice, so you coulduse one or both.
James (03:24:19):
Yeah, because when you go
into short rest you could say
hey, take short rest.
And then it asks you well, ohyeah.
I'm good I got 11.
Andrew (03:24:34):
Excellent.
James (03:24:35):
Total you get two, yeah
two, hit dice.
Fable (03:24:38):
Yeah, I'm good, all good
now.
Andrew (03:24:40):
All right, what would
you like to do now?
Catherine (03:24:46):
Well, now I think we
should go check out that room,
okay.
James (03:24:48):
Let's go check out the
room.
Okay, we'll listen again, justto ensure.
Catherine (03:24:54):
Let's percept whether
anyone's in there.
Andrew (03:24:58):
You hear heavy breathing
?
Yeah, kidding, I was going tosay you currently hear nothing.
Catherine (03:25:08):
Okay, all right, I'm
going to try the door now.
Andrew (03:25:21):
What's your AC?
James (03:25:23):
15.
Is that plus one?
Oh, no, no.
Technically yours is higher.
You still have a major so it's,13 plus your dexterity, that
was 12.
Catherine (03:25:42):
My dexterity is 6, so
19?
.
Andrew (03:25:46):
You have an AC of 19.
Yes, okay, that's good to know.
So the door opens without aproblem.
Catherine (03:25:53):
Mm-hmm, and then what
?
Andrew (03:25:55):
There's no one in here
because they all went to the
Surly Orc to go get drinks.
Catherine (03:26:01):
So let's look around.
Andrew (03:26:07):
So clearly you see the
remnants of what was a game, of
something referred to as knucklebones, but there's just some
playing pieces on the dice andsome playing pieces on the table
, and that's it.
Okay, what else is in the room.
(03:26:33):
There's really not much else inthe room, so several worn tables
and chairs are scattered aroundthis room.
Wooden benches are drawnagainst the walls, decorated
with brown and red drapery.
If we don't try to liftanything, that's about it.
That's about it in this room,it's just.
(03:26:54):
It just looks like a room wherepeople would kind of hang out
and spend time.
You also notice that there is adoor to the south.
James (03:27:08):
I'll just just to look in
the room.
Can I do an investigation check?
Andrew (03:27:14):
You can, you can do an
investigation check.
James (03:27:15):
Can you tell me the
amount of nothing that I've seen
?
Catherine (03:27:21):
14.
Mucho nothing.
Andrew (03:27:23):
You see so much nothing.
James (03:27:28):
You.
Is there a cistern?
Andrew (03:27:30):
in the room.
There's not a cistern, there'snot a brothern.
Catherine (03:27:35):
There's Not an uncle,
not an uncle, not an uncle,
uncle, uncle Uncle.
Uncle Uncle, uncle, uncle Uncle.
Andrew (03:27:41):
Uncle, there's nothing.
Uncle Earn, there's no famlearn Uncle.
James (03:27:45):
Earn, you gotta get back
to work now.
Andrew (03:27:48):
There's nothing to see
here.
James (03:27:49):
Okay, shucks.
Andrew (03:27:51):
Yes.
James (03:27:52):
Jumping G-Hoss-a-fan, so
I think we should proceed to the
Over here the suit.
To the suit.
Catherine (03:28:02):
Okay, let's go to the
south.
This is me talking into the mic.
Andrew (03:28:08):
Nice.
Is that you talking into themic?
Catherine (03:28:10):
That is me talking
into the mic.
This is me talking into the mic.
James (03:28:13):
This is me talking into
the mic.
Doppler effect is real.
Andrew (03:28:19):
See, that's all that I
would like you to do is just
talk into the microphone.
Okay, that's very simple.
We should like you to do isjust talk into the microphone.
James (03:28:22):
Okay, we should play the
game while we're talking into
the mic.
Just to be clear.
Andrew (03:28:28):
Yes, so Now you're in
the hallway, there is a set, so
to your.
So you're heading south, so toyour left is a set of stairs
that go up.
James (03:28:44):
Are they like the stairs
we came down?
I understand that they'redifferent, but are they similar
in structure?
Yes, yeah okay.
Andrew (03:28:53):
Same type of thing, just
a set of stairs going to the
upper level, and then there'sthat door directly in front of
you to the south, so you caneither go to the left up the
stairs or through the door.
Catherine (03:29:07):
I mean, I think we
should go through the door and
finish essentially searchingthis level, right, yeah, and
then we can go up.
Yeah, I agree, okay, so beforewe go through the door, we're
going to listen at the door.
Would you like a perceptioncheck?
Andrew (03:29:23):
I would like a
perception check.
Fable (03:29:25):
I have a plus five on
that.
James (03:29:26):
Okay, twelve for me, hmm,
twelve.
Fable (03:29:32):
It almost fell.
You're doing that Nineteen Four.
I wonder whose is better.
Catherine (03:29:41):
Mine.
Andrew (03:29:44):
Dal.
Fable (03:29:44):
These.
Andrew (03:29:47):
You hear several gruff
voices, ruh-roh Speaking, and
you're not sure what they'resaying.
But you Do, you speak goblin, Ido not.
We found the bug bears.
So you, you, whatever you can,you can tell they're speaking in
(03:30:08):
goblin and you can, you can.
The voices are very angry.
Fable (03:30:17):
Great, lovely, that's
what we want.
Andrew (03:30:26):
So that's, that is what
you perceive.
Catherine (03:30:28):
So, if we're going in
which I presume we have to do I
would like to propose onceagain that Zanros just rolls in
and is like oh, did the agencysend you?
Okay, let's give it a shot.
Are you the bouncers for theB&B?
Oh, did the agency send you?
Okay, let's give it a shot.
Are you the bouncers for theB&B?
(03:30:48):
Should we do it?
Yeah, okay, what's our order?
Other than me, dal, backing meup?
I can back you up, or Callie,okay.
Callie then I Theo Pimble andthen the hostages.
Fable (03:31:05):
I think we should tell
the hostages to just how tall is
Lizandra's man?
Three, three foot five.
Catherine (03:31:08):
That's funny.
I think we should tell thehostages to hang out in that
little break room for now.
Okay, right, because they don'tneed to get involved in a
bugbear fight.
No, okay to get involved in abugbear fight.
Okay, I just think it's funny.
Fable (03:31:22):
I'm backing her up, and
she's like half my height.
Catherine (03:31:25):
You're towering over
her, well, okay.
Andrew (03:31:32):
Okay, so what does he
order again?
Catherine (03:31:34):
It's me.
Andrew (03:31:35):
Yes, then Dal, then Dal.
Catherine (03:31:37):
Then I'd say Iquim,
you want to go first, or Callie?
James (03:31:44):
I want Callie to be able
to get to you if necessary.
So I'd say Callie, then me,because I can cast it.
Catherine (03:31:48):
Okay, callie, then
Iquium, then Theo, because I
don't want to let him out of mysight.
Andrew (03:31:54):
So you're basically
already backed up into the other
room because, I mean, it's onlya 15-foot hallway.
Zanros (03:31:59):
Okay, so Nuna why don't
you and the children stay here?
Because I don't like what I'mhearing on the other side of
that door and I don't want anymore trouble for you.
Andrew (03:32:09):
You don't have to tell
me twice, okay.
Catherine (03:32:12):
All right, oh, so I
think what I'm going to do is
knock on the door.
Okay, so?
Zanros (03:32:24):
Hello, who's there?
Hi, it's me, zanros.
I own the place.
Did the agency send you?
I was looking for some musclefor the B&B Agency.
Andrew (03:32:43):
Agency, no, the spider.
Zanros (03:32:48):
Spider's not who I spoke
to.
I think I spoke to Nancy.
Nancy at the agency, you gotsure you're in the right place.
Andrew (03:33:03):
The door flings open.
Zanros (03:33:06):
Well, you look like
you're muscle.
Andrew (03:33:09):
And there are four very
angry bugbears there.
There is one goblin who seesall this and faints.
Catherine (03:33:20):
Who's the goblin?
Andrew (03:33:24):
He's unconscious, I
don't know.
He's the goblin.
Catherine (03:33:25):
He's unconscious, I
don't know he's in the room.
Andrew (03:33:27):
He was in the room with
them.
Oh Okay, he saw all this.
He got scared and passed out.
Catherine (03:33:32):
So there's four
bugbears and a goblin in this
room.
Four bugbears and one goblinand a passed out goblin.
Andrew (03:33:38):
And a passed out goblin.
Zanros (03:33:40):
So I mean you look like
my security detail.
You're telling me you're notyou sure you're in the right
place, because this is my bedand breakfast.
Andrew (03:33:49):
This is no bed and
breakfast.
Zanros (03:33:51):
I mean, I beg to differ.
It needs some work, but this ismy family's property and I am
turning it into a bed andbreakfast.
Andrew (03:34:00):
This place is owned by
the spider.
Zanros (03:34:10):
Let's see Spider Bumble
Bumble.
No, no, nobody in my lineagenamed the spider and my family
has owned this property foryears.
Andrew (03:34:16):
You better get out of
here if you value your life.
Zanros (03:34:20):
No, I'm not going to do
that.
Hold on a second, dal.
This is my assistant, dal Dal,could you check again?
Nancy at the agency said shewas sending some muscle right.
Fable (03:34:32):
Yeah, I do believe that
Nancy said she was sending some
muscle from the agency.
This kind of looks like that.
I'm checking right now.
Zanros (03:34:44):
Thank you, these guys,
this kind of looks like that I.
I'm checking right now like.
Andrew (03:34:46):
Thank you, these guys.
So are you trying to persuade,deceive, intimidate?
You're trying to deceive, yeahso so roll for it, roll for a
deception.
Catherine (03:34:57):
I'm kind of hoping
that they're stupid enough.
I'm kind of hoping that they'restupid enough that they're
gonna fall for this and thinkthey work there.
Fable (03:35:04):
Do we both have to roll
or just Bumble Bumble?
Andrew (03:35:08):
No, just Zanros, because
she's the one talking.
Catherine (03:35:15):
Fifteen Just Bumble
Bumble, just Bumble Bumble.
I was googling Bumble BumbleB&B.
There used to be a B&B inPortugal called B&B Bembom nice
(03:35:38):
fascinating.
Andrew (03:35:41):
Reserve the domain right
now.
James (03:35:43):
Right Yep.
Andrew (03:35:46):
Bumblebumblebb BB.
Bb EG so they are a little bitconfused because they have no
idea what you're talking about.
Mm-hmm, idea of what you'retalking about.
They're just dumbfoundedbecause they don't know what to
(03:36:07):
do.
They go.
Zanros (03:36:09):
So who is this spider?
Can I get in touch with him?
Andrew (03:36:16):
You want to talk to
spider?
Zanros (03:36:18):
Yeah, if he's telling
people that he owns my B&B, I'd
like to speak to him.
Andrew (03:36:26):
I'm trying to remember
where the spider is.
I think he's at Cragmaw Castle.
Catherine (03:36:30):
Yeah, because that's
where Gundren is.
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew (03:36:36):
We can't tell you where
that is.
Zanros (03:36:38):
I mean, can you connect
me via like a sending stone or
something?
Andrew (03:36:43):
Let me talk to this guy.
What's in it for us?
Zanros (03:36:50):
I mean, what would you
like?
James (03:36:52):
I can offer you a job.
Zanros (03:36:55):
I got a little bit of
cold.
Andrew (03:36:57):
I already got a job.
Zanros (03:37:00):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (03:37:00):
though you don't seem
to know where you are.
James (03:37:06):
I love it, the audacity,
the sheer bravado of it all.
Catherine (03:37:13):
Three foot five.
What do I weigh?
29 pounds.
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew (03:37:18):
So with that, one of
them just starts picking up from
behind him his Morningstar andjust starts twirling it around
in his hand.
Oh, look at the pig man, I'm soimpressed.
Zanros (03:37:39):
I already thought you
were my security detail you
don't have to prove it to me.
Andrew (03:37:45):
We don't work for you.
Zanros (03:37:49):
Tal, were you able to
get Nancy on the phone?
Fable (03:37:53):
She won't pick up God.
Zanros (03:37:55):
Nancy, just like her.
Listen, guys, why don't you gooutside?
Take it up with your friend thespider and I'll lock the door
behind you.
Andrew (03:38:11):
We're not leaving this
place.
Zanros (03:38:16):
Ickwim, did you want to
cast Fireball now?
James (03:38:22):
Um Eldritch Blast.
Speaker 4 (03:38:30):
You sure this is what
you guys want to do.
Zanros (03:38:32):
You can leave now your
buddy Glassstaff.
You know that guy Think he'spretty tough.
James (03:38:43):
This is where we meet,
the end of the dungeon and the
end of our lives.
Catherine (03:38:50):
He's writing down
Bugbear 1 through 4.
James (03:38:55):
I rolled in that 23 on
the class, by the way.
Catherine (03:38:59):
I can see there's a
gap between your laptop and the
screen.
Andrew (03:39:04):
You're so bad, you're so
bad.
James (03:39:07):
BB-1, bb-2, bb-3.
The greatest thing is, I rolleda nat 20 for Eldritch Blast.
Andrew (03:39:14):
You rolled a nat 20 for
Eldritch Blast.
So which of the four bugbearswould you like to hit with
Eldritch Blast?
Actually, I can only hit theone in the doorway.
James (03:39:27):
What's that?
I can only hit the one in thedoorway.
Andrew (03:39:30):
That's true.
Yeah, because you're behind, Idon't know how you're going to
how can you even cast a spellbehind Dal?
I know I was going to say Dalis so much taller than you.
Dal and I are like oof, I meanI guess it's five foot wide, so
you could probably shoot pastDal.
Catherine (03:39:49):
Dal is going left and
I am going right.
Let me do this, yeah.
Andrew (03:39:53):
Okay.
Catherine (03:39:54):
Jazz hands, you're
jazz handing the Eldritch Blast.
Yes, so that he can shoot theEldritch Blast in between us.
Andrew (03:40:00):
All right.
So how much damage are yougoing to do to?
Speaker 4 (03:40:03):
the bugbear in the
doorway.
James (03:40:05):
I had Actually it's 24 to
hit.
Andrew (03:40:27):
Just made it.
James (03:40:28):
Just made it.
Andrew (03:40:29):
Just made it.
James (03:40:32):
Fantastic, it takes.
Okay, there's 11 points ofdamage.
No, 9 points of damage.
9 points of damage.
Andrew (03:40:56):
Are you sure?
James (03:40:59):
No, no, it was the 19
points of damage.
Andrew (03:41:02):
It's 9 points of damage
the 19 points of damage.
James (03:41:03):
It's 9 points of damage,
9 points of damage so I don't
get to add my modifier right,because I haven't been doing
that what do you mean?
On spell attack, I have plus 4,so that's how I get the 24
right let's spell modifiers plus2, so does that?
(03:41:25):
What if I do this, just justroll nine?
Yes, it's a straight d10,there's no, there's no, correct.
Yeah, it's a 1d10, it's yeahit's a straight D10.
Andrew (03:41:42):
There's no Correct.
Yeah, it's a 1D10.
James (03:41:43):
Yeah, it's nine points of
damage.
Andrew (03:41:49):
All right.
So you did nine points ofdamage and everybody needs to
roll for initiative.
Zanros (03:41:57):
You guys should have
left when I gave you the chance
19.
James (03:42:03):
17.
Andrew (03:42:05):
Hang on, hang on, hang
on Dal 19 19.
Equians 17.
Zanros (03:42:13):
21.
Okay.
Andrew (03:42:18):
Okay, okay, okay.
Zanros (03:42:25):
I try to let these guys
have a shot and they always want
to fight.
Hey guys, before we really getinto it, glassstaff's dead.
James (03:42:39):
Says Clark.
Andrew (03:42:44):
We don't answer to them.
Zanros (03:42:47):
Spider's gonna be dead
too.
We just gotta find him.
Cometh at me, brother.
Andrew (03:42:56):
Oh my god, zanros,
they're those Jersey.
Zanros (03:43:00):
Shore, bugbears Seas,
jersey.
Andrew (03:43:03):
Shore bugbears, seaside
Heights.
Bugbears Fucking A Fucking.
James (03:43:08):
A right.
Zanros (03:43:10):
We need to fix our hand
bro.
Andrew (03:43:12):
Fist pumping in the door
.
Can we do a perception check onthe door?
All I hear is oomph, oomph,oomph, oomph, oomph.
Catherine (03:43:19):
Gymtan laundry.
James (03:43:20):
Boots and pants and boots
and pants Gymtan laundry
bugbear Boots and pants andboots and pants.
Andrew (03:43:25):
Xanros, you're up first.
Catherine (03:43:26):
Cabs are here.
Okay, I'm going with thequarterstaff.
Andrew (03:43:29):
Okay, come on.
Catherine (03:43:34):
Oh, no Seven.
Andrew (03:43:39):
That definitely misses.
Is there anything else you'dlike to do?
Catherine (03:43:44):
Yes, let's go with
Flurry of Blows.
Right on I said get the hellout of here, as the bugbear just
leans back and 24.
Andrew (03:43:55):
Averts your quarterstaff
, that hits I bet it does.
Catherine (03:44:01):
Oh, I need to do four
.
Choose this guy Seven.
Andrew (03:44:11):
You did seven points of
damage.
Catherine (03:44:13):
To the guy in the
door.
Andrew (03:44:15):
Okay, you have a second,
it's two attacks.
Speaker 4 (03:44:21):
Oh, that's right, I
get to go again.
You have a second.
It's two attacks, it's twounarmed attacks Go again, oop 25
.
Andrew (03:44:29):
Definitely hits.
Zanros (03:44:35):
Six.
Andrew (03:44:41):
Between the two of you.
You really messed up thisbugbear.
He is not doing well, however,in his rage of being hit by this
massive blow from the elders.
(03:45:02):
The critical hits Like you what?
James (03:45:09):
I totally blew it.
Catherine (03:45:10):
What'd you do?
James (03:45:11):
Because I got a critical
hit.
I should have doubled my damage.
Andrew (03:45:13):
You didn't double the
damage, I didn't double the
damage, oh shit, I rolled.
James (03:45:17):
I rolled a nine for
damage, right, and I thought
there was a modifier, but what Iwas probably thinking was I had
to double for damage, right,and I thought there was a
modifier.
Andrew (03:45:24):
But what I was?
James (03:45:25):
probably thinking was I
had to double the damage.
Andrew (03:45:26):
So Because he'd be dead
at this point.
So obviously he's coming rightafter Zanros.
Yeah, because you're right upfront.
Catherine (03:45:37):
I have that dodge
ability right, so let's see if
he hits.
Well, the dodge is an action.
Yeah, yeah, oh, I can't take itbecause it's not my turn.
Andrew (03:45:47):
Well, you already took.
Catherine (03:45:47):
You already took your
turn right, right, no, that's
what I'm saying.
I can't, it's not.
Andrew (03:45:50):
It's not a reaction is
dodge a reaction?
I thought dodge was an action.
Can you take dodge as areaction?
James (03:45:56):
I thought you could take
it as a reaction or a bonus
action oh, I don't, I don'trecall, should we?
Andrew (03:46:03):
let's look that up,
everybody.
Let's look something up we'regonna learn is it's uncanny
dodge right it just says dodge,dodge action when you take the
dodge action, when you take thedodge action Because until the
(03:46:26):
start of your next what's that.
James (03:46:30):
It says here why is it,
the question became, is uncanny
dodge not auto passive 5E rules?
Uncanny dodge is reaction Stillqualifies as less of a reflex.
But that's, is it uncanny dodge?
No, it's just dodge, it's justdodge.
Andrew (03:46:48):
So when you take the
dodge action, you focus entirely
on avoiding attacks Until thestart of your next turn.
Any attack roll made againstyou has disadvantage, right,
okay, so you could have.
Instead of attacking, you couldhave used dodge.
Yeah, I wasn't gonna do thatthough.
No, okay, but but don't forget,you've got the special, do you
(03:47:09):
still, james?
Is that still in effect, theMage armor, or whatever?
Yes how long does that last?
James (03:47:15):
eight hours eight hours.
Andrew (03:47:17):
yeah, wow, yeah, wow.
So that puts you at like a 19.
James (03:47:25):
Yes, ok, yeah, because
that was the benefit on using it
on Zanros Right, because theydidn't use armor Right and and
you get to utilize yourdexterity as part of your armor
class and you get a little glowabout you.
Speaker 4 (03:47:43):
A glow up.
James (03:47:46):
But you have armor.
Andrew (03:47:51):
Sorry, so that bugbear
does not hit you Right, Because
again he got nailed with theEldritch Blast and then slapped
around by you.
So they completely miss.
Dal, you are up next.
Fable (03:48:14):
I want to go after the
one that they were going after.
Andrew (03:48:17):
Yeah, that's basically
the only one, unless you go in
like he's kind of in the doorway, so he's really the only one
that's.
Fable (03:48:25):
I'm doing Toll the Dead.
Can you do a Wisdom save for me.
Andrew (03:48:28):
I can Nat 20.
Fable (03:48:33):
No.
Andrew (03:48:38):
Nat 20.
Sorry, is that your turn?
Yeah, iquium, you are up next.
James (03:48:48):
I'm assuming, since
Callie is behind me and it's
only a five foot doorway.
Andrew (03:48:52):
Actually.
I thought you said Callie wasin front of you.
Catherine (03:48:54):
Callie was in front
of you.
She's in front.
James (03:48:58):
Can Callie attack in the
door.
Andrew (03:49:01):
You didn't have Callie
attack last time, did you?
I didn't, no wait.
How did you Eldritch?
Oh wait, no, when did youEldritch Blast?
James (03:49:14):
You said he started with
his Morningstar.
Andrew (03:49:17):
Oh, that's right, so you
did, and then I hit Eldritch
Blast before we rolledinitiative.
That's right.
James (03:49:21):
Yeah.
Andrew (03:49:22):
So now it's you and
Kali's right.
So you did, that's right, okay,that's right, yeah.
So now it's now it's you andCallie's turn.
James (03:49:25):
So for me.
Uh, I don't suppose a nine hits.
Andrew (03:49:31):
A nine does not hit.
James (03:49:33):
So that's for me.
Andrew (03:49:45):
Callie has a 15.
A 15 does not hit.
Zanros (03:49:53):
Ouch.
Andrew (03:49:57):
So that leaves Equium.
So now we're up to the otherthree bugbears.
So Iquium, because they'restill in the room, they can't
(03:50:20):
attack you in melee range, butthey fortunately have some
javelins at their disposal.
Oh thank, God Lovely.
So one of the bugbears is goingto throw its javelin at you.
That will be a nat 20.
Speaker 4 (03:50:38):
Oh, God, oh God, that
will be a nat 20.
Oh God.
James (03:50:50):
That hits.
Andrew (03:50:54):
Well played, well played
.
James (03:50:56):
That hits.
Just want you to feel confidentabout your bugbears, that's all
All right, oh, that's all Allright.
Andrew (03:51:05):
Oh wait, oops, equium,
yes, seven points of piercing
damage.
James (03:51:16):
Ouch.
Andrew (03:51:24):
Mind you, that's his
only javelin, so Okay, thank you
.
James (03:51:32):
Um.
Andrew (03:51:36):
However, since you
already did so much damage, the
next bugbear is going to throwits javelin At you as well.
James (03:51:43):
Always go for the squishy
.
Andrew (03:51:50):
Does an 18 hit?
Yes, okay, okay, that will beeight points of piercing damage.
Catherine (03:52:05):
Is that 15?
Yep.
Speaker 4 (03:52:07):
You got six right,
you got six left.
Andrew (03:52:16):
Seeing his counterparts
both successfully hit you with
their javelins.
Oh, come on his counterparts.
Both successfully hit you withtheir javelins.
Oh come on Bugbear 3.
He's gonna aim for Callie.
Fable (03:52:38):
Not the dog Monster.
Andrew (03:52:41):
Does a 13 hit Callie?
James (03:52:44):
It does not.
Andrew (03:52:45):
Okay, so the javelin
goes whizzing by Callie and
unfortunately I could never dothat and finds its way straight
to your heart, nat 20.
Nat 20 on the rebound.
How?
James (03:53:02):
many points of damage 37
points of damage for you.
I want to make sure you're dead.
Andrew (03:53:08):
So that javelin goes
whizzing by, callie, and you as
everybody dodges out of the wayof that javelin.
Now, fortunately, those threedo not have any more javelins,
so all they have are theirMorning Stars melee range
weapons.
That takes us back to the topof the order with Xanros 21.
(03:53:44):
Certainly hits.
Catherine (03:53:45):
Okay, I'm going in
with the quarterstaff.
Are they all still alive?
Everyone is still alive, allright, so I'm going to take the
one with the most hit points,like the least hit points at
this point.
Who has taken the most damage?
Andrew (03:53:58):
Only one has taken
damage.
I'm going after that guy, theone standing in the door in
front of you that spell I have.
Fable (03:54:04):
It does more damage than
ones that are already injured.
If you want to go, for one thathasn't been well, can I get
past that guy, though?
Andrew (03:54:10):
no, right, you could
probably crawl through its legs
and get to the other three ifyou don't want to do that, just
do it what if I somersaultthrough his legs?
You can do that.
Catherine (03:54:24):
Somersault through
his legs.
Andrew (03:54:27):
Give me an acrobatics
check.
Zanros (03:54:31):
Oh shit 24.
Andrew (03:54:34):
24.
So as you're somersaulting, oneof your feet just kind of slips
out, kicks him in the nuts asyou roll underneath him and he
goes ah.
Catherine (03:54:50):
Excellent.
Andrew (03:54:51):
So now you are standing
in a room with a passed out
goblin and three angry bugbearswith their morning stars.
Catherine (03:54:59):
Okay, so I've rolled
already and it definitely hit.
That was a 21 or something likethat yeah.
Okay, so I'm gonna roll.
Okay, so that's two that is sixpoints of damage.
Andrew (03:55:15):
Okay, is that all you
want to do?
Catherine (03:55:18):
Yes, Okay, I already
used one of my key points.
I don't want to use them all upfront.
Andrew (03:55:27):
So, then, the bugbear
that you just somersaulted past
is now facing Dal and is goingto attack Dal.
Catherine (03:55:38):
Okay, so that's the
guy with damage.
Andrew (03:55:40):
With the most damage.
Catherine (03:55:41):
Yeah.
Andrew (03:55:42):
Now two of them have
damage, so this one's going to
attack Dal.
Does a 19 hit, yep.
Speaker 4 (03:55:53):
Okay.
Andrew (03:55:59):
There we go, let's use
that one.
So that will be, with theMorningstar, 13 points of
piercing damage.
Fable (03:56:21):
I'm down.
Andrew (03:56:31):
Oh shit, your cleric is
unconscious.
Speaker 4 (03:56:33):
Mm-hmm.
Fable (03:56:34):
Yeah, I'm at zero.
Andrew (03:56:40):
Dal, you would have been
up next, so you are out for the
count, so Iquium.
James (03:56:47):
Does giving Dal a potion
of healing count?
Andrew (03:56:50):
That would be your
action.
James (03:56:51):
That would be an action.
Andrew (03:56:52):
Yeah, well, boy, I don't
think giving the potion.
I guess if you're administeringthe potion, yes, that would be
an action.
James (03:57:01):
But you're at zero,
you're unconscious.
Fable (03:57:03):
I'm yeah.
Andrew (03:57:10):
And don't forget, you
have Kali's attack as well.
James (03:57:14):
I'll give Del one of my
potions of healing Okay.
Fable (03:57:22):
Two, that's two healing
okay but I get more hit points
on my next level up.
Oh hell, my mom's going to lookat kitchen furniture, so I'm
going to use the little healingdice.
Andrew (03:57:40):
That's right.
That's what they're there for.
Fable (03:57:42):
I kind of want to be a
part of that.
James (03:57:45):
She's already gone, I
think.
Andrew (03:57:51):
It's two, so that's six
points.
All right, so you're stable.
You're more than stable.
You've got six hit points now.
James (03:57:59):
Okay, and I'll let Callie
attack.
Andrew (03:58:02):
Yes, I assume the one
that's right up front.
Yeah, ok, otherwise Kelly wouldhave to go into the room past
it.
Fable (03:58:11):
All right, screw this.
I'm using my what?
Maybe one of my?
James (03:58:14):
So that is a Twenty four
to hit me.
And she does.
Andrew (03:58:24):
The one that Callie's
attacking 26 plus 3.
James (03:58:32):
8 points of damage to
that Kill him Equium that is a
creature.
Catherine (03:58:40):
Finish him.
Andrew (03:58:41):
Doesn't matter, doesn't
matter, doesn't matter, doesn't
matter.
How would you like to do this?
James (03:58:47):
I say she lunges forward
after seeing Dal go down and
then seeing me get hit with, youknow, javelins.
Callie lunges forward at thebugbear's neck and pounces on
him, so he is prone and she ripshis throat out.
Andrew (03:59:05):
Excellent.
So you've successfully killedthe one bugbear.
Any of the rest?
Zanros (03:59:16):
of you want to rethink
this situation.
Andrew (03:59:20):
They don't.
Zanros (03:59:21):
You're really stupid.
They do not wish to rethinkthis You're just't.
Andrew (03:59:22):
They're really stupid.
They do not wish to rethinkthis.
They're just stupid.
They're real dumb.
Since you are the only one inthe room, you now have the ire
of three bugbear on you.
James (03:59:34):
Were there four bugbears
there were four.
Andrew (03:59:38):
There were four bugbears
.
Catherine (03:59:39):
And a passed out
goblin.
The first bugbear is going to apassed out goblin.
Andrew (03:59:42):
Yeah, the first bugbear
is going to completely miss you
with its morning star Woo.
Catherine (03:59:46):
Because you are so
wee, I also can matrix around
him, yep.
Fable (03:59:51):
Woo, because you're just
cool like that.
Andrew (03:59:58):
Second bugbear is going
to miss All three, all three.
No, sweetie, I love you, but no, all three bugbears because you
were still somersaulting.
Yeah, so they were all tryingto get a whack at you.
Yeah, and I'm just too fast.
You are too fast for them.
You were able to dodge, duck,dip, dive and dodge your way
away from them.
James (04:00:15):
Yep, okay, if you want,
you can even have a dab, totally
, you can even have a dab.
Andrew (04:00:21):
Totally, do it.
I'm just kidding.
No, do it Now.
Finish him with the dab.
A little dab will do you.
So, zanros, now that they'veall taken their swings at you,
you're up.
Catherine (04:00:35):
Okay 24.
Andrew (04:00:43):
Well, that'll hit.
Which one are you going after?
You going after the one thatyou already hit?
Catherine (04:00:47):
yes and I'm smacking
him with the quarterstaff okay
quarterstaff, of course Sixdamage.
Andrew (04:01:10):
Six damage yes, right on
.
Zanros (04:01:18):
Okay, all right.
Andrew (04:01:19):
Dow.
Catherine (04:01:21):
Back up, back up.
Andrew (04:01:22):
Back up.
Fable (04:01:23):
Yes, okay.
Andrew (04:01:25):
Now what are you doing?
So you're still in the hallway.
James (04:01:27):
Heal myself.
Andrew (04:01:30):
You're in the hallway.
Before you get into this littleroom, in your way is a dead
bugbear.
Okay, you need to go into theroom If you want to.
If you have a ranged spell,that's fine.
I'm going to do a ranged spell.
Fable (04:01:47):
Right on.
Andrew (04:01:50):
Which ranged spell are
you going to do?
Fable (04:01:53):
Guiding bolt.
Say a prayer here.
Oh my god, 25 to hit.
Nice Wait, how did you get it?
Say a prayer here.
Oh my god, 25 to hit.
Andrew (04:02:05):
Nice.
Wait, how did you get it?
Is that a nat 20?
Fable (04:02:08):
Yes.
Andrew (04:02:10):
You got a nat 20?
.
Fable (04:02:11):
Yes.
Andrew (04:02:12):
So you get to double the
damage.
Catherine (04:02:15):
Oh, I didn't know
that.
Is that just on spells?
James (04:02:17):
or is that on everything?
Andrew (04:02:19):
Critical hit Critical
hit is, and that's normally a
4d6.
That's 8d6 damage.
Fable (04:02:26):
Can I go for the one that
has had no damage yet?
Andrew (04:02:29):
You can definitely go
for one of the ones that's had
no damage yet Do you need somed6?
.
Fable (04:02:33):
I'm just going to do it
manually.
I mean not digitally, becausethat is too much.
Catherine (04:02:38):
Oh, okay, you can do
8d6.
We have a bunch too, but then Ihave to count it.
Andrew (04:02:43):
We could lend you a
bunch of D6s.
James (04:02:45):
We'll help you count it.
How satisfying would it be ifyou rolled it for you, like for
me it would be immensely.
Here I have four D6s, okay.
Andrew (04:02:53):
Here's another four D6s
right here.
Just give them back to me, thatask, stealing them.
8d6 damage.
This is massive.
Fable (04:03:15):
Just do them all.
Zanros (04:03:16):
Do it.
Catherine (04:03:20):
That was satisfying 5
, 6, 7.
Fable (04:03:24):
Oh wait, this was
satisfying.
Five, six, seven.
Oh wait, this is 10 over here.
Catherine (04:03:28):
I'm counting 24.
Fable (04:03:31):
So this is 16, 17, 18, 19
, 20.
Andrew (04:03:36):
Yeah, 24.
Dal yeah, how would you like todo this?
Fable (04:03:44):
Uh, I used the diagram,
this.
I did write down how I do mostof the spells, but that was a
while ago, Of course I didn't.
Oh yeah, okay, ooh, those areheavy.
So a bolt of blinding blueflashes and hits him right in
the chest.
He's down.
Andrew (04:04:05):
And what kind of damage
is that?
Is that radiant damage?
That's radiant damage, yes.
So just all of this, this, thisbolt of was blue light, yes,
just goes, gets like absorbedinto this bugbear's chest and
just very, very similar to howthe doctor regenerates.
(04:04:29):
Same kind of thing.
All this energy is just toomuch for the body to contain and
this blue light just comesflashing out of just every part
of this bugbear's body and justblasts everything out of the way
and the bugbear completelydisappears.
(04:04:49):
Yay.
Zanros (04:04:53):
The rest of you want to
rethink this now.
Andrew (04:04:57):
They do not.
Fable (04:04:57):
Yeah, just think.
From the dark hallway you onlysee their eyes.
My God, they're stupid.
Andrew (04:05:01):
They are not intelligent
beings, and that?
Just think of the dark hallway.
You only see their eyes.
My God, they're stupid.
They are not intelligent beings.
Catherine (04:05:05):
And that goblin's
still passed out.
Fable (04:05:08):
Yes, would you say that
the hallway is dark, decidedly.
Andrew (04:05:12):
The hallway's dark.
Fable (04:05:13):
Okay, fun, that's a fun.
Last thing to see, just a pairof glowing eyes as they send
lightning at you.
Andrew (04:05:18):
Yes, absolutely Iquium.
James (04:05:28):
Suck it sound like they
got you.
Yes, absolutely equium you,yeah, equium you and callie are
are up.
Andrew (04:05:31):
Um, I'm gonna use
elder's blast.
Okay, on which one bread andbutter?
Um, so there's one that,there's one who is untouched has
is untouched, and there's onethat's definitely taken some
damage but is still standinglike Elton John he's still
standing because they're nearZanros and I'm gonna hit the
(04:05:54):
ones that's already been hit.
James (04:05:58):
okay, um, which would you
rather?
Okay, which would you rather?
Which would Zanros rather?
What Do I go for?
Catherine (04:06:11):
the untouched one, I
don't know if we should just
take the one that's alreadydamaged out or if we should
damage them both.
James (04:06:27):
Well, what's your damage
on the Eldritch Blast?
Andrew (04:06:29):
So 14, 18 to hit and
then 1d10, right 1d10, yes, so I
will just give you.
You want an insight check?
James (04:06:41):
Sure 13.
Andrew (04:06:50):
You know that, no matter
what you do, both will still be
standing.
Unless it's a critical hitagain, they're most likely both
going to be standing.
I rolled an 18.
Yeah.
James (04:07:03):
I rolled 14 plus 4.
18.
Andrew (04:07:06):
18 will hit.
James (04:07:08):
So D10 is five points of
damage.
Andrew (04:07:11):
Okay, so now you got
Callie's turn.
Oh, callie's turn, so Are youtrying to get DD in front of the
mic.
James (04:07:25):
I am.
That's a 22 to hit.
Andrew (04:07:29):
A 22 will hit.
James (04:07:31):
And 2d6 plus 3.
Fable (04:07:34):
Oh, I got it.

Ten points of damage,

Catherine (04:07:48):
Kill the bugbear.
Andrew (04:07:51):
How would you like to
kill this bugbear In the dead of
night?
James (04:07:57):
A flashing light, neax
came down.
A killing sound killed thebugbear.
Callie jumps again at thisbugbear and another neck shot
knocks him down, prone.
Zanros (04:08:17):
Excellent Rips his
throat out.
Hey dummy, Last bugbearstanding.
Speaker 4 (04:08:23):
You want to rethink?
James (04:08:24):
this they are not
reasonable creatures.
No.
Andrew (04:08:45):
I know I like to give
them an opportunity, Because you
said your AC is what 19 rightnow Yep, so that bugbear is
going to completely miss you.
Zanros (04:08:58):
Oh, so that's a no, then
Guess you're still trying
Exactly.
Grrr.
Oh, you're so scary, I'm sointimidated.
James (04:09:13):
I bet you are, you're up,
zanros.
Okay, come on, give him thebackhand, the furry blows oh no
Eleven, oh no 11.
Andrew (04:09:24):
Does not hit.
Catherine (04:09:25):
No, should I do the
furry blows?
Andrew (04:09:30):
Furry blows.
Is that because you're holdingDD?
Catherine (04:09:33):
Yes, furry blows.
Yeah, I guess let's do thefurry blows.
Andrew (04:09:38):
Furry blows.
I don't know if you can do thiswith DD, but you can go.
James (04:09:39):
Let's do the furry blows,
furry blows.
Andrew (04:09:41):
I don't know if you can
do this with DD, but you can go.
Catherine (04:09:48):
That was so good.
What do I got?
12 plus 6, 18.
Andrew (04:09:52):
18 does hit.
Catherine (04:09:54):
All right, so I'm
going to furiously blow this guy
.
What Excuse me?
Andrew (04:09:59):
Oh, hello, this, this
Hello.
That took a turn.
Zanros (04:10:03):
It took a turn.
That escalated very quickly.
Andrew (04:10:12):
Six.
Well, you are at that height,so oh my God, Now there's more
alliteration.
James (04:10:19):
Blown bugbears at the
Bimbo Bubble B&B.
Andrew (04:10:23):
Get blown at the Bimbo
Bubble B&B oh my god, that's got
to get ended.
Catherine (04:10:27):
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
No.
My second action is only whatis that?
A three, a nine?
Andrew (04:10:36):
Nine does not hit.
Catherine (04:10:37):
Okay.
Andrew (04:10:39):
Was that the first
flurry or the second flurry?
Catherine (04:10:42):
That was the second
flurry, or the second flurry
that?
Was the second flurry.
Was it that I just rolled?
Yeah, because I hit him on thefirst flurry.
Andrew (04:10:47):
Did you?
What did you hit him with onthe first flurry?
Catherine (04:10:49):
With the flurry.
Of that was when I said I'mgoing to furiously blow him.
Andrew (04:10:53):
Yes, but what was the
damage?
Did you hit him the first time?
It was six yes, I did.
What was the attack roll?
Nineteen, I did.
What was the attack roll?
Catherine (04:11:00):
19, I think.
Andrew (04:11:01):
I thought that was your
quarterstaff, no.
Catherine (04:11:03):
I missed the
quarterstaff.
Andrew (04:11:04):
So you rolled a 19.
What was the damage?
Six, six, okay 74.
Right wrong 32.
Catherine (04:11:13):
18.
What do we need?
34 counts, ah, ah, ah, exactlyNice.
Andrew (04:11:19):
Dal, you are up.
Okay, there's one bugbear left.
It has taken damage.
Catherine (04:11:30):
I think you should
give it some more damage.
Fable (04:11:33):
Yeah, I think I should.
Should I do Guiding Bolt again,because I'm at six health and I
don't want to go in there?
Andrew (04:11:41):
That's up to you.
Catherine (04:11:45):
I like that, just the
teeny, tiny monkeys in the room
.
James (04:11:47):
I say you go for it.
Okay, do not.
Yeah, don't go in there.
Andrew (04:11:52):
Well, Callie is in there
now too.
Oh, okay, Because Callieattacked the other one.
Fable (04:11:57):
We're going to do this
again and it's not going to be
as cool.
Maybe Critical hit on a show?
Yeah, no, it doesn't hit, it'sa nine.
Andrew (04:12:06):
Nope, that does not hit
Damn.
So then Equium, you and Callieare up.
James (04:12:11):
Okay, 13.
Andrew (04:12:18):
Does not hit.
James (04:12:20):
Wasn't Eldritch Blast,
but 13 does not hit.
13 does not hit 13 does not hit.
Callie 19 19 does hit, andthat's 2, 11 points and 11
(04:12:43):
points and has to make a DC 13strength saving throw or be
knocked prone because he's acreature knocked prone beautiful
and I told you 11 damage.
Andrew (04:13:03):
Yes, you told me 11
damage.
So when I am prone, what do Ihave to do to?
Well, that was Wait, that was.
That was Kali, right?
Yes, so that was Kali.
So do I have to use my actionto stand up?
Is that what it is?
You have to use your action.
I can never remember.
James (04:13:27):
Let's see, I'm going to
look it up here.
Andrew (04:13:28):
I'm going to look it up
as well.
James (04:13:29):
Prone creature has
disadvantage.
On attack rolls An attack rollagainst the prone creature has
advantage if the attacker iswithin five feet feet so he can
(04:13:52):
attack but has disadvantage orcan use his action to stand
ending the condition of, butthen that's his, that's his.
Andrew (04:13:59):
I don't want to, I don't
want to give you advantage on
attacks.
I mean, I'm going to use, sothis creature, because he's the
next one up, so he's going touse his action to rise and stand
back up.
Okay, and now it goes back toZanros.
Yes, woo-hoo.
James (04:14:19):
And then it's
automatically assumed, since
he's used that action, that thecondition of being prone has
ended.
There is no advantage on therolls.
Andrew (04:14:27):
Yep 25.
That definitely hits.
Okay, I have out myquarterstaff again.
(04:14:54):
Five.
This bugbear is relentless andstill standing.
Okay, is that your turn?
Catherine (04:15:04):
That is my turn.
Andrew (04:15:06):
Dow.
Yes, what would you like to do?
Fable (04:15:11):
I'm just going to try the
guiding bolt again.
Catherine (04:15:13):
I'm just going to
check in on this bugbear real
quick.
Andrew (04:15:15):
Is that your last spell
slot?
Then Gosh, oh wait, no, Ithought.
Fable (04:15:20):
No, it is.
Andrew (04:15:21):
Because you used guiding
bolt once.
I thought no, it is Because youused Guiding Bolt once.
I failed last time.
Well, you used Guiding Bolttwice, right?
Yeah, because I failed.
Oh, you didn't use the healingspell before, so you've got one
spell slot left.
Yeah, yeah, okay, so you'regoing to use Guiding Bolt again.
Catherine (04:15:36):
Can I just check in
on this bugbear one last time.
Speaker 4 (04:15:43):
Buddy you're looking
kind of rough.
Zanros (04:15:46):
You sure you want to do
this you could be dead or you
could have a new job.
Fable (04:15:49):
Long live spider oh fine,
idiot I'm going to do toll the
dead You're going to do toll thedead.
Yeah, okay.
James (04:16:00):
Oh, because it's a
cantrip yeah.
Wisdom save, I want to have atleast one spell slot.
Fable (04:16:06):
Okay, oh, because it's a
cantrip, yeah.
Andrew (04:16:07):
Nice Wisdom, save
That'll be.
That'll be a two.
Fable (04:16:17):
I like how you have to
check that Okay.
Andrew (04:16:20):
I want to see if I had
any bonuses, right.
James (04:16:24):
Do I got?
Speaker 4 (04:16:24):
anything, anything,
anything at all.
Fable (04:16:31):
That'll be 11.
Andrew (04:16:33):
Points of damage.
Fable (04:16:34):
Yes.
Andrew (04:16:35):
So how would you like to
finish off this last bugbear?
Fable (04:16:38):
last bugbear.
Speaker 4 (04:16:52):
I don't know.
What does Toll the Dead do?
What does?
Fable (04:16:54):
Toll the Dead, do it just
you point at one creature and
the sound of a I've got the, Ionly know it.
Uh.
You point at one creature andthe sound of a Delirious bell
fills the air around it for amoment and then it takes the
product damage.
Speaker 4 (04:17:14):
Ooh.
Catherine (04:17:15):
So then I think you
should wait for the bugbear to
like Cover his ears because thesound is so awful, and then, as
he takes the damage, I think youshould just walk into the room
and, with one finger, just knockhim over.
Fable (04:17:31):
Yeah, I like that.
I'm going to do it.
Andrew (04:17:33):
Just like that, and that
is how you've dispatched the
four bugbears, honestly done.
Zanros (04:17:43):
I'm going to go try to
wake up this goblin.
James (04:17:46):
It's time up.
Zanros (04:17:48):
Do we need to?
He might just want to work here.
James (04:17:53):
Or the bigger question I
had, since he passed out, was is
he already one of our goblins?
Zanros (04:18:00):
Yeah or like.
Is he a random goblin prisoner?
Does he know Vincent or I?
Speaker 4 (04:18:07):
don't know.
Catherine (04:18:08):
Yeah, does he know,
Vincent, or and that way I don't
think it necessarily Michael.
Zanros (04:18:12):
Creed, oscar, stanley,
toby or Nardog.
James (04:18:18):
I love the fact that you
have all the names.
Zanros (04:18:20):
I absolutely wrote that
down.
I just freaking love that it'sthe names.
James (04:18:23):
I absolutely wrote that
down.
I just freaking love that.
It's amazing.
Zanros (04:18:25):
I'm going to have to do
so much HR paperwork.
It's helpful.
Andrew (04:18:30):
Okay, so you revive this
goblin?
Yes, he's like.
Oh, thank God, I walked intothis place.
My wagon broke down.
I'm just trying to find partsto fix it.
There's these bugbears.
James (04:18:52):
This place is nuts.
He's lying to us.
Well, friend, good news is, thebugbears are dead.
Insight check.
Zanros (04:18:59):
Uh-oh, my friend here
doesn't trust you.
Andrew (04:19:08):
Go ahead.
That was great, wait, wait.
James (04:19:15):
Oh, I get plus two seven.
Andrew (04:19:20):
He does not appear to be
lying to you All right, wait,
let me do one too.
Fable (04:19:26):
Insight sight.
Catherine (04:19:31):
Twelve.
James (04:19:32):
Let me do one.
Fable (04:19:36):
Damn.
Well, that's a ten.
James (04:19:38):
Theo Pimple.
Andrew (04:19:42):
This goblin appears to
be telling you the truth.
He's kind of hapless.
He truly did just wander inhere.
Listen, friend.
Zanros (04:19:57):
I got a couple of
questions for you, sure.
Are you looking for a job.
Andrew (04:20:06):
You know, I'm always
looking for a way to help my
family.
What do you have in mind?
Zanros (04:20:09):
I'm turning this place
into a bed and breakfast.
This shithole.
Andrew (04:20:18):
Okay, roll for
initiative and he passes out
again.
Catherine (04:20:27):
I kick him to wake
him back up.
He just called my B&B ashithole.
Andrew (04:20:32):
He didn't call your B&B
a shithole.
He called the ruins of theTresendor Manor a shithole.
Catherine (04:20:37):
That's my B&B.
Andrew (04:20:38):
Which it is.
Catherine (04:20:39):
That is, the bones of
my B&B.
Andrew (04:20:41):
It's got good bones, but
it looks like a shit hole.
Wow, you're gonna make itbeautiful.
Catherine (04:20:47):
I nudge him gently
with my foot.
Andrew (04:20:50):
He comes back to.
Zanros (04:20:55):
Let's try this again.
Once we put in some elbowgrease, this is going to be a
lovely bed, and breakfast.
Andrew (04:21:03):
I'm sure it will be.
I'd be.
I'm very handy.
Catherine (04:21:06):
Okay.
Andrew (04:21:08):
So it's better than my
brother.
He's handsy, but I'm just handy.
Zanros (04:21:13):
Do you?
How do you get along with othergoblins?
Because I have a number of themwho are going to be working
here a number of them who aregoing to be working here.
Andrew (04:21:24):
You know these Kragmaw
goblins.
They keep trying to convince meto join them, but I'm just
trying to mind my own business.
Zanros (04:21:32):
I've got seven goblins
who are committed to working in
this place in a variety of roles, but I do not have a handyman.
Andrew (04:21:39):
If you, need a handyman,
I am your goblin.
Zanros (04:21:42):
And what's your name,
friend?
My name, yeah, droop, droop,that's a nice name Droop.
Andrew (04:21:50):
Thank you.
Zanros (04:21:52):
Okay, well, so we have a
lot of stuff we have to do.
We have not finished checkingall the rooms in this place,
because there's a lot ofsquatters in here and even
though this is my property, theyseem to think it's theirs.
So we gotta go check out acouple more rooms.
Do you want to help us movesome bodies or do you just want
(04:22:15):
to like go hang out in like thebreak room for now?
Andrew (04:22:22):
I mean, I'm happy to
help you move bodies.
If you need help, oh great.
Zanros (04:22:27):
Maybe while we go check
out the last couple of rooms.
Hey, theo Bing, if I ask you tohelp Droop move some bodies,
are you going to try to take off?
Catherine (04:22:47):
No, why would?
I do that I'd like an insightcheck on Theo oh Six.
Fable (04:23:04):
Can I do an?
Andrew (04:23:04):
insight check insight
Theo's not going anywhere.
Zanros (04:23:07):
Theo, would you and
droop here move oh, what's his
name?
Glass glass door glass glass,glass jaw, glass staff.
That's right.
Could you move glassstaff'sbody and then, if you're able to
get these bugbears out of here,just stack them in the back.
(04:23:28):
We'll set them on fire orsomething later.
Andrew (04:23:32):
Well, you know, there's
that big crevasse you could just
toss them in there.
Do you think that they'd smell?
Zanros (04:23:38):
if we pitch them into
the crevasse.
Andrew (04:23:41):
You could throw them in
there.
James (04:23:42):
I need a drink.
There might be something in thecrevasse that could dispose of
them.
We don't know yet.
Zanros (04:23:47):
I just want to make sure
that if they're down in the
crevasse and the bodies arerotting, that my guests are not
going to be bothered by thestench.
Andrew (04:23:57):
You leave that to us.
Zanros (04:23:59):
All right.
Andrew (04:24:00):
Whatever is easiest, as
long as it's not going to bother
my guests.
I don't want a kid finding askull.
Zanros (04:24:05):
I don't want guests
complaining about an odor.
Andrew (04:24:08):
Don't you worry about a
thing.
James (04:24:10):
Okay.
So you know, maybe delay thecrevasse experience trip, you
know, until we're sure.
Zanros (04:24:16):
Yeah, like we won't be
zip lining over the crevasse.
James (04:24:22):
No out or bound classes
in the crevasse for a week.
Zanros (04:24:24):
We won't be what is it?
When you bounce down the sideof a building Repelling yes no
repelling into the crevasse, nobungee jumping.
Fable (04:24:33):
Nope, no bungee jumping.
James (04:24:35):
Got it.
I am going to use a potion ofhealing.
Andrew (04:24:38):
Okay.
Catherine (04:24:43):
Magician heal thyself
.
Andrew (04:24:48):
Make sure anyone that's
used potions of healing make
sure you remove those from yourinventory.
James (04:24:51):
Yes, I removed the one
that I gave Dal.
Andrew (04:24:54):
Excellent.
They are liquid core potionbottles.
Catherine (04:25:10):
Yes, I'm sure that
glitter would be great for
drinking.
Andrew (04:25:12):
Totally.
It's magical, it's magicglitter, yeah.
So Equium is healing himself.
Catherine (04:25:24):
Dal, what are you and
Zanros doing?
Gossiping?
Andrew (04:25:26):
gossiping.
What are you gossiping about?
What's the hot goss?
James (04:25:31):
what's the tea you're
spilling?
Zanros (04:25:32):
come on bugbears are
actually stupider than I had
heard.
I have to agree with you likegoblins, have turned out to be
much more appealing thanbugbears.
I don't why do they call thembugbears.
They don't even look like bears.
Andrew (04:25:53):
They're very feral.
That's the problem withbugbears.
It's not.
Zanros (04:25:56):
But they're just big and
ugly Like an owlbear is cute.
Andrew (04:26:01):
Owlbe bears are cute.
A bug bear is gross.
What luxury.
James (04:26:07):
You know what's really
cute Dire wolves.
Andrew (04:26:09):
Dire wolves.
Zanros (04:26:10):
Oh, I mean really dire
wolves are adorable obviously
Callie's a good girl.
Andrew (04:26:14):
Who doesn't love a dire
wolf?
Zanros (04:26:17):
All the people whose
throats she whipped out.
Fair, that's fair, you got methere.
Andrew (04:26:22):
All the people whose
throats she ripped out Fair,
that's fair, that is fair, yep,yep, you got me there.
Can't argue with that point.
James (04:26:30):
All the people whose
throats she ripped out.
Catherine (04:26:32):
Exactly Not.
Fans, not big direwolf fans,just saying Not really into it.
James (04:26:38):
Especially singers are
not into.
Andrew (04:26:39):
Callie yes.
James (04:26:42):
People with allergies.
Anybody with upper respiratorytract infections.
Speaker 4 (04:26:47):
Yeah.
Andrew (04:26:49):
So what would you like
to do next?
Catherine (04:26:51):
Okay, the last thing
we have to explore is the
crevasse, right, yeah, so like,while we go to check out the
crevasse, is our Theo pimple andDroop just dragging bodies to
it.
Andrew (04:27:07):
Don't you worry about
them, they're doing their thing.
Catherine (04:27:09):
Okay, I guess we're
gonna go check out the crevasse
right?
Alright, let's go.
Andrew (04:27:17):
So you're going, you're
heading up the stairs.
I hope, I hope.
To this crevasse area, equium.
You start to hear this voice inyour head.
Catherine (04:27:35):
Not that weird
whispery voice again.
Andrew (04:27:37):
Again.
Catherine (04:27:38):
Oh boy.
Andrew (04:27:45):
Speaking to you, calling
out to you I know, I can't hear
it Calling my name.
No, no, no, or just whispersLike whispering, you feel it,
trying to understand andcommunicate.
Catherine (04:28:02):
It's creeping me out.
Andrew (04:28:11):
Give me a perception.
Check equium.
James (04:28:17):
Fifteen, fifteen, 15 15,
15.
So there's that so as you,goodbye on the Ouija board again
(04:28:43):
.
So there's that rug and I havea Roomba and it's summoned.
Andrew (04:28:45):
So as you, as you come
up those stairs, iquium, you
notice there's that one columnright there holding up the
ceiling.
James (04:28:57):
Yes.
Andrew (04:28:58):
From behind the column
you see this singular glowing
eye and all you see is blink,blink as it locks onto your eyes
(04:29:24):
.
James (04:29:24):
That's not creepy.
Uh, uh, uh-huh.
Um Shit, I cast Mage Hand.
Andrew (04:29:41):
Okay, and what will your
Mage Hand do?
James (04:29:47):
I want to see what it
does if I use the Mage Hand just
to wave in front of the eye.
Andrew (04:29:53):
Well, is the Mage Hand
going out toward the eye?
James (04:29:56):
Yeah, towards the eye but
like so, I know that it's
locked on me.
I want to see that If Iinterrupt its field of vision,
what will it do?
Is what I'm trying to do.
Andrew (04:30:07):
So it as as this mage
hand moves closer toward the eye
, you just see the eye kind ofretreat back behind the column.
James (04:30:20):
Like is it on the column
or in the column, or a little
bit of both?
Andrew (04:30:25):
Give me a perception,
check or investigation.
Whichever one you want to do,whichever one is better for you.
James (04:30:31):
Nine.
Andrew (04:30:34):
No, it doesn't.
It appears to be somethinghiding behind the column.
James (04:30:43):
And if I walk around the
column, is it always looking
from behind it?
Andrew (04:30:50):
Are you going to walk
toward the column?
Yeah, you're going to walktoward the column.
Fable (04:30:53):
Sure, do it, do it, do it
.
Andrew (04:30:58):
I'm one of the voices
now Do it, just do it, just do
it so as you get nearer to thecolumn, the voices, the
(04:31:22):
whispering in your head getslouder and louder, and as you
come around the side of thecolumn, you come face to face
with a creature that you've onlyread about in books it is a
(04:31:53):
nothic am I allowed to google?
Fable (04:32:09):
you can?
Andrew (04:32:09):
see what the nofick.
James (04:32:14):
Looks like it's just
misunderstood does it look like
it's trying to communicate withme, or if it's just being creepy
it, it, it is trying to, so sogive me.
Oh yes I can see him now yestelekinetically.
I ask him what he wants.
(04:32:35):
What does he see?
Andrew (04:32:55):
He recognizes All you
hear clearly through this
whispering is Friend or foe.
James (04:33:10):
Friend.
Well, he hasn't attacked me, soI will say I will ask him are
the people that were here yourfriends or foes?
Speaker 4 (04:33:23):
I wish to be a friend
.
Andrew (04:33:31):
Can Dal and I see him or
just no, you can't because he's
still hiding behind the column.
So from where you're standingyou can maybe see Iquium, kind
of to the side, like to the sideand behind the column, but the
column is blocking your view ofthe Nothic.
Zanros (04:33:54):
Iquium, what are you
talking to?
James (04:33:58):
Sing a little song travel
along side by side.
Speaker 4 (04:34:04):
Yeah you're hilarious
, you don't hear that no, no.
Andrew (04:34:15):
So, in all this
whispering, the next word you
can understand is hungry.
Fable (04:34:25):
Oh, feed him the bugbears
.
Catherine (04:34:28):
Oh, yeah, yeah what
does he like to?
Fable (04:34:29):
eat.
James (04:34:33):
I tell Theo and the
goblin to bring the bugbear to
me.
Andrew (04:34:40):
Mm-hmm, theo and the
goblin to bring the bugbear to
me, mm-hmm.
So Theo and Droop, droop, droop, droop the goblin, droop the
goblin and Theo Pimble Drag oneof the bugbears up toward you.
They're a little taken abackbecause they come around the
(04:35:00):
corner.
They're like holy shit, theysee this thing.
They're a little taken abackbecause they come around the
corner and they're like holyshit, they see this thing.
They've heard the stories ofthis thing, but they've never
seen it face to face.
So they kind of drop the bodyand run.
And I just go ooh.
And so you see the Nothic juststart to devour the.
(04:35:29):
Now the two of you are able tosee this as well.
Oh, okay, Because the bugbearis in between you and Iquium.
So the Nothic comes out andstarts devouring this bugbear.
What the hell is this?
Zanros (04:35:46):
now.
James (04:35:49):
I'm making a new friend
here.
What?
Zanros (04:35:51):
is it?
James (04:35:52):
I tell Theo and Droop to
go get me another bugbear.
Andrew (04:36:00):
Alright, so Theo and
Theo and Droop go down, go back
down the stairs into the roomwhere the bugbears were and they
drag up another body and Aquium.
Zanros (04:36:11):
What is that thing?
Andrew (04:36:13):
Drop it on the pile.
James (04:36:15):
So I start, I ask it, do
I ask it?
Does it tell me that it's a nothick or just that I've heard
about?
Andrew (04:36:24):
you've heard stories of
them and what do I know of them?
So you know that you, you reallyknow that again, they only
(04:36:46):
speak telepathically.
They are, they are what used tobe mind flayers.
So these are mind flayers thatare turned, turned into no fix.
They have a fringe of tentaclesbeneath their single eye, and
(04:37:30):
so this, this mind flip, or not?
This mind, this no thick,continues to just devour, devour
these two bug bears that youhave provided to it.
And in the midst of eatingthese, he looks back up at you
with this one glowing eye.
(04:37:52):
And again, you're only able tomake out single words.
Here and there, all you hear isfriend.
As it looks to me as it looks toyou, okay friend, what can you
(04:38:15):
tell me of this place?
It's really not able to.
James (04:38:23):
It's just singular words
just singular words.
Andrew (04:38:28):
So, again, you hear all
this whisperings and the only
word you're able to make out ishome like this is it's home is
this your home or are youlooking for?
Fable (04:38:44):
home, home.
I think he found another B&Bworker.
Catherine (04:38:51):
This one I'm
employing for when people don't
pay their tab.
Andrew (04:38:56):
Not a bad idea.
Catherine (04:38:57):
Howie snacks.
James (04:39:11):
Well, I mean it is
looking at me as, as a friend.
Andrew (04:39:17):
It does not perceive you
to be an enemy At least, so
that's a good thing.
James (04:39:21):
Were, you trapped here.
Zanros (04:39:27):
No Cool, could you leave
?
Speaker 4 (04:39:33):
To you.
James (04:39:40):
What master do you serve?
None, oh, okay.
Did any of the red brands hurtyou?
(04:40:08):
I mean, you are my friend, soFood, you just like them for
food, food, okay, I'll have Theoand Drew bring all the other
bugbears.
Catherine (04:40:24):
You might as well
feed them glass staff too.
James (04:40:29):
Yeah, but if we want to
take the reward for glass staff,
or do we want?
Here's the thing With glassstaff.
I feel like if we keep hisdeath secret, then we could
impersonate glass Staff if weneeded to.
Catherine (04:40:45):
That's true.
James (04:40:49):
So that would be a reason
to.
Andrew (04:40:51):
What was that?
James (04:40:52):
I'm sorry, I just feel
like if we don't tell anybody,
like if there's no proof ofGlass Staff's death, then we can
use his, we can impersonate himMe too.
Andrew (04:41:04):
So you're going to be
the new Dread Pirate Roberts.
Mm-hmm.
Catherine (04:41:09):
Yes, good night.
Wesley.
Speaker 4 (04:41:12):
Did well today.
James (04:41:14):
I'll probably kill you in
the morning.
Inconceivable.
Andrew (04:41:19):
You're the new Glass
Staff.
Congratulations.
Do not think that word meanswhat you think.
James (04:41:23):
Congratulations, I will
give you this aside really quick
.
And it's the actor who playsVincini.
I saw him on the corner of 6thAvenue and Houston Street.
My windows were open and Iyelled inconceivable.
And he waved and he smiled.
Catherine (04:41:43):
I would imagine
Wallace Shawn is always happy
when people recognize him, hejust seems sweet.
He was very nice.
James (04:41:50):
He was just a super big
smile.
Andrew (04:41:54):
That's great.
Catherine (04:41:54):
Unlike a certain
Broadway actor I saw who tried
to pull his hoodie tighteraround his face so people
wouldn't recognize him.
Zanros (04:42:08):
Nathan Lane.
James (04:42:10):
What do I know of
Nothic's history?
Can I do a history check of myknowledge?
Andrew (04:42:18):
You can do a history
check on.
Catherine (04:42:31):
Like their origin,
like you're saying he's, so
that's a we want his originstory.
James (04:42:32):
well, like where do they
like, more or less, where do
they come from, or how are theymade, or like he's hungry,
obviously, probably not a greatthing.
Andrew (04:42:45):
So you're doing a
history check.
James (04:42:50):
Yeah, and I got a Sorry.
Sorry, I don't get anything.
Twelve Twelve.
Andrew (04:42:58):
Okay, so you know from
your studies that noethics are
monstrous creatures terribletalons, the single large eye.
When driven to violence, theyuse their horrific gaze to rot
(04:43:20):
the flesh off of the enemy'sbones.
Zanros (04:43:22):
That's great.
Andrew (04:43:26):
Rather than gaining the
godlike supremacy they crave,
some wizards who devote theirlives to unearthing arcane
secrets are reduced to creeping,tormented monsters by a dark
curse left behind by Vecna.
Obviously, you're familiar withVecna, a powerful lich who, in
some worlds, has transcended hisundead existence to become a
(04:43:49):
god of secrets.
Nothix retain no awareness oftheir former selves, skulking
amid the shadows and hauntingplaces rich in magical knowledge
, drawn by memories and impulsesthey can't quite understand.
Nothics possess a strangemagical insight that allows them
to extract knowledge from othercreatures.
(04:44:11):
This grants them uniqueunderstanding of secret and
forbidden lore, which they sharefor a price.
A Nothic covets magic, magicitems, greedily accepting such
gifts from creatures that seekout its knowledge.
Nothics are notorious forinfiltrating arcane academies
and other places rich in magicallearning.
(04:44:32):
They are driven by the vagueknowledge that there exists a
method to reverse theircondition.
This isn't a clear sense of,but rather an obsessive tug at
the end of their mind.
Some Nothics are clever enoughto realize that this is merely a
part of the strange lesson fortheir folly a false hope to
(04:44:53):
drive them to seek out morearcane secrets.
Nothic.
So, no thick.
James (04:45:01):
Very possibly, very
possibly.
Andrew (04:45:19):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (04:45:20):
Oh.
James (04:45:32):
Let's get our cane out,
and I'm wondering if the jars
that I have from blast staff'slaboratory or if they're used in
(04:46:01):
the spell.
Speaker 4 (04:46:03):
Well, we could.
Yeah, I asked.
James (04:46:05):
I asked him um um dragon
chain do you know where the
forge of spells is?
Andrew (04:46:34):
The Gnothic doesn't know
where the forge of he's able to
communicate.
He doesn't know where it is,but he was in search of it.
James (04:46:42):
it okay but never, never
found it have pimble and droop
(04:47:04):
just made me think that theycould have their own little shop
.
Sorry, mailman, passed byMailman, he was wearing a pith
helmet.
Catherine (04:47:16):
That's fantastic.
It's a dangerous job.
Andrew (04:47:18):
Just in case of a loss
or after jumps out from it.
James (04:47:24):
Clever girl.
So this is what my thought is.
My thought is if he seeks outarcane knowledge or has arcane
knowledge, yes.
And they couldn't see him.
But I could, but they can now,just because it was avoiding yes
, correct but it wasn't likeinvisible or just visible, no,
(04:47:47):
it was not invisible or visibleto you.
You're the only one that canspeak to it because, because of
your telepathic abilities, yeah,I totally want to be a threat,
but, yeah, I told him I'd be athreat.
But what does he look for?
(04:48:09):
I ask what do you seek otherthan food?
Like, obviously we've providedthe four bugbears, as he's
devouring them, right, Right, ashe's devouring them.
Speaker 4 (04:48:24):
Right.
James (04:48:26):
What can you show us?
Where can you guide us to Doyou know?
Catherine (04:48:34):
where there's magical
knowledge.
Andrew (04:48:46):
Could you leave my B&B
B&B.
The Nothic really isn't awarenecessarily of any magical
knowledge, but he was.
The Nothic was aware of One ofthe.
(04:49:08):
So you rolled a history check,right, so give me an arcana
check.
Oh, okay, a combination ofhistory and arcana 18.
So he conveys to you in someway that 18.
So he conveys to you in someway.
James (04:49:30):
That Should have been 20,
but 18.
Andrew (04:49:34):
That's fine.
He conveys to you again, single, just broken phrases, that
Glasstaff, in exchange forguarding the manor, glasstaff
(04:49:54):
was working on a way to reversethe effects that have afflicted
the Nothic.
Catherine (04:50:06):
I wouldn't mention we
killed him then.
Fable (04:50:07):
I was going to say Well,
glasstaff was unsuccessful.
Andrew (04:50:15):
It wasn't his sole goal,
so it wasn't Glasstaff's.
James (04:50:19):
He could have been just
telling him that.
Andrew (04:50:21):
Right Glasstaff said in
exchange for guarding it.
You know, I'm a master of thearcane arts, I will find a way
to reverse this.
It was just a bargain theystruck, but he never
successfully.
James (04:50:36):
And he was just guarding
the manor.
Andrew (04:50:37):
He was just guarding the
manor.
Okay, excellent security, bythe way.
James (04:50:47):
So yeah, you have a
built-in security guard.
Catherine (04:50:52):
As long as he
promises not to eat any of the
guests.
Andrew (04:51:01):
As long as you keep it,
fed Him it.
I don't know.
I don't know the Nothic'spronouns.
Catherine (04:51:09):
Does it have a name?
James (04:51:12):
Yeah, what's its name?
Andrew (04:51:16):
Sarnak.
Sarnak, the nothic sarnak arethere, other are there other
caves or caverns down here, hetells you no, there, this is,
this is the only this is theonly this is it, the only.
(04:51:40):
This is it.
This crevasse kind of turnsinto a, and you can kind of see
it from here.
Yeah, you see, there's a tunneltoward the south, so the
crevasse just kind of peters outright here into into a tunnel
that leads out to darkness.
James (04:52:01):
You can't see what's out
there, so have you been in any?
Is that a passage beyond?
Does that leave here?
Where does it lead to?
Can you tell us?
Andrew (04:52:21):
Forest.
It goes into the forest, anyone, anyone else got anything.
Catherine (04:52:59):
Yeah, I want to make
sure he's not going to eat the
people that come to the B&B.
Andrew (04:53:05):
Again, as long as you
keep the Nothic, the Nothic will
not Equium can tell you.
The Nothic stays down, theNothic prefers the dark.
So the Nothic's not going tocome upstairs and attack anybody
as long as you keep the nothicfed.
Catherine (04:53:24):
What does the nothic
like to eat?
Does it have to be people?
Does it have to be mine?
Andrew (04:53:38):
Could be animals.
Any type of flesh.
Catherine (04:53:45):
Could I feed it
leftovers from whatever I'm
feeding the B&B?
Andrew (04:53:49):
Sure, sure you could.
Catherine (04:53:49):
Okay.
James (04:53:53):
So my thought is this
it's very much a carnivore.
Okay.
Andrew (04:53:58):
Yes.
James (04:53:59):
You and I are friends and
I want to help you as Glass
Staff.
But his Red Brands haveattacked people.
They've been hurting the peopleof the town.
I want you to be safe.
I want you to live where youwant to live and I'll help you
find the path.
(04:54:20):
If it is within my power and Ican, I can find it.
I will gladly find tomes andresearch and what have you and
in the meantime keep you fedwith the bones of my enemies if
that's acceptable to you.
(04:54:40):
Yes, so, friend, these are myfriends.
They're now your friends aswell, but those red brands that
come through here, not so much.
Zanros (04:54:56):
So food, yeah, I get it,
don't eat the old pimble though
, yeah, he's not my favoriteperson, but he's alright.
Speaker 4 (04:55:03):
Food yeah, I get it,
don't eat the old pimble though?
James (04:55:05):
Yeah, he's not my
favorite person, but he's all
right.
Yeah, we're going to have tochange the clothes after this.
Andrew (04:55:10):
Yeah, yeah, for sure For
sure, let's be clear.
Zanros (04:55:15):
You said his name is
Sarnak.
James (04:55:16):
Sarnak, yeah, okay.
Zanros (04:55:18):
Sarnak.
Let's just be clear If theycome through in a red cape food,
otherwise not food If they looklike a guest, not food.
James (04:55:36):
How about we just bring
you the food, yeah, or we tell
you where the food is, or youguard, just like you guard now
Food.
Speaker 4 (04:55:43):
Food, I got it.
James (04:55:46):
How many?
Have they been able to bringthe other bugbears now?
Andrew (04:55:50):
Yeah, there's just a
pile.
Well, two of the bugbears havealready been eaten.
Okay, so the other two bugbearsare currently.
He's a little full.
Sarnak's a little full rightnow.
Yeah, so Sarnak needs to pacehimself.
The tryptophan in bugbears islike really high, so Sarnak may
need a nap after the first twobugbears did we leave a bunch of
(04:56:14):
dead red brands?
Catherine (04:56:15):
yeah, the dead brands
, so we can feed them sure you
certainly can this is helping meclean things up.
This is kind of perfectactually.
Sarnak, the Sarlacc.
Andrew (04:56:27):
This is not the.
Catherine (04:56:28):
Sarlacc oh sorry.
Andrew (04:56:30):
But you could basically
have Theo and Droop, just kind
of tend to the Nothic and justkeep tossing at bodies.
Catherine (04:56:40):
Should we?
Can we call them in and explainwhat's going on?
Sure, so they're aware.
Sure, sure, okay.
Zanros (04:56:47):
Theo.
Andrew (04:56:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:56:50):
Could you and?
Zanros (04:56:50):
Drup, come here for a
sec.
Sure, thank you.
What's up?
Okay, this guy, I know you'relike, not, really that.
Yeah, okay so.
This is Sarnak.
Sarnak is friend, okay so?
Andrew (04:57:03):
this is Sarnak.
Sarnak is friend.
Zanros (04:57:04):
Okay, we're going to
have to keep him in dead bodies,
animal carcasses, whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:57:10):
If we feed him.
Zanros (04:57:11):
He doesn't eat us.
Do me a favor, take off yourred cloak.
Sure, because he's going to eata red brand if he sees a red
brand.
Andrew (04:57:20):
He throws off the cloak
so fast.
Zanros (04:57:23):
Okay, so down in that
little area where we found Mirna
and the kids, yeah, can you gograb those bodies and just chuck
them over here for Sarnak.
Andrew (04:57:33):
Sure.
Zanros (04:57:34):
And then could Troop?
There's a woman and her kidshanging out in the break room.
Yeah, could you let them knowthat it's safe to come out now?
Sure, and they can go home,okay.
Okay, everybody cool with that?
James (04:57:47):
Yep.
Zanros (04:57:48):
All right.
Andrew (04:57:49):
Excellent, solid plan,
all right.
So the good news is at thispoint that you have completely
cleared out all the red brandsand glass staff out of
Trescender Manor, so it is nowyours for the taking, plus one
(04:58:10):
Nothic.
So I find a piece of wood.
Zanros (04:58:14):
Yes, and I go back in
the room where we killed all
those bugbears.
Andrew (04:58:17):
Yes.
Zanros (04:58:17):
And I dip my finger in
the blood.
Andrew (04:58:19):
Ooh.
Zanros (04:58:19):
And I write, future home
of the Bumble Bumble B&B on the
piece of wood.
Andrew (04:58:25):
In blood.
Zanros (04:58:26):
Bugbear blood Bugbear
blood.
Andrew (04:58:28):
I don't have a.
Zanros (04:58:28):
Sharpie Holy cow.
James (04:58:31):
Wow and I put that on the
front door and you said I was
dark for taking off Glass Taff'shead and dropping it in the
room Right.
And then I grab a second pieceof wood.
Speaker 4 (04:58:41):
Yes, and I go back in
.
Zanros (04:58:43):
Yes and I get some more
blood.
Red brands need not apply.
Andrew (04:58:48):
Okay.
Zanros (04:58:49):
Okay.
Andrew (04:58:52):
Excellent.
James (04:58:53):
Under new management.
Andrew (04:58:54):
Under new management.
Zanros (04:58:56):
Small but mighty.
Andrew (04:58:58):
Yes, so what would you
like to do?
Would you like, now thateverything I Now that everything
You've made your way throughthe entire underbelly of
Tresendor Manor, here, would youwant to head back to town?
What do you want to do?
Catherine (04:59:14):
We did send a bunch
of Redbrands to the tavern.
Andrew (04:59:19):
You did yeah.
James (04:59:22):
So that hasn't been that
long now.
So what I'm thinking is we moveon, go back to the town, let
the red brands come up here andlet Sarnak take care of them.
Andrew (04:59:42):
I like that Okay.
James (04:59:45):
I mean now he knows that
red brands are off.
You know like.
Andrew (04:59:49):
Right right, right right
.
James (04:59:49):
Anybody with a red cape
Not looking so good.
Andrew (04:59:52):
Yeah, okay, sounds like
a solid plan.
James (04:59:58):
So here's my question.
Andrew (05:00:00):
Yes.
James (05:00:02):
I so this is just a
cavern that leads.
So here's my question yes, I sothis is just a cavern that
leads.
Andrew (05:00:06):
He says leads to trees
that tunnel, yeah, yeah, that
tunnel leads out to the forestleads out to the forest correct.
James (05:00:14):
I don't know, should we
go that way?
Fable (05:00:19):
I don't see why not
curious about that passage to
the east.
What do you want to leave the?
Andrew (05:00:30):
manor, or what do you
want to do?
James (05:00:36):
Well, we've we've pretty
much clear.
You said we've pretty muchcleared it up.
Yeah, I think we should leave.
So, yeah, I think yeah, but isit worth like looking down there
and seeing if that's a passage?
Fable (05:00:47):
to another?
Yeah, because it kind of leadsto nowhere.
James (05:00:50):
Yeah, sure.
Andrew (05:00:52):
So we're going to go
down that passage.
James (05:00:54):
That passageway.
Andrew (05:00:56):
East.
James (05:00:56):
South.
Well, south is the tunnel thatgoes out to the tree.
Well, south is the tunnel thatgoes out to the tree yes but if
we go east down that passage,that seems to lead in a dead end
.
Yes, I want to see if it leadsinto a dead end or if it's a
secret passage okay that's all.
Catherine (05:01:14):
I just want to
investigate that it's just going
to take us back out to thecistern so you're going down
that hall.
Andrew (05:01:20):
I need to search that
cistern again you come up to
just a blank wall.
Give me an investigation check17.
Oh investigation.
James (05:01:35):
No, I don't get it, it's
17.
Andrew (05:01:37):
So again you notice a
very similar pattern to the
previous hidden door here onthis wall.
Yes, straight check, what'sthat?
James (05:01:55):
I'm going to push against
it.
Andrew (05:01:57):
Give me a strength, give
me an athletics track.
James (05:02:01):
Oh, Nat 20.
17.
Andrew (05:02:06):
This one amazingly gives
way very, very easily for you.
This one they like WD-40, thisthing, it just swung.
James (05:02:18):
It's tipped up.
Andrew (05:02:19):
This one's really well
maintained and the door pushes
wide open and you walk out backinto the first room you entered.
You see the cistern again andeverything there and you see the
door up the stairs where youentered the Trescender Manor.
James (05:02:41):
So Theo and Droop are
getting bodies and whatnot.
Andrew (05:02:49):
Yep.
Catherine (05:02:50):
They're helping clean
up and they're also getting
Myrna and the kids out.
Andrew (05:02:53):
Yes.
James (05:02:55):
So do we go back to town
or do you want to go out the
tunnel into the trees?
Because I forget what thatlooks like around Trescender
Manor.
Catherine (05:03:09):
If we go back to town
, what are we doing?
James (05:03:13):
I don't know that we have
to go back to town.
Andrew (05:03:15):
Right, what are your
next steps?
James (05:03:17):
I mean, I think I think
we go explore the passage and go
out through the trees.
I just wanted to see if it wasa secret door, that's.
Andrew (05:03:24):
Got it.
Catherine (05:03:25):
Okay, you want to go
out through the trees?
Go out the back way, yeah whynot?
Andrew (05:03:30):
Okay, all right, so you
head down the tunnel and you're
going to wait another month tofigure out what happens.
Bum, bum happens Until next timeand we will leave it at that.
