Andrew (12:49):
Nice, wonderful, all right.
So we've got some new dice toplay with.
Um, let me ask you all this.
So let's do we, let's do aquick little recap.
So so, where you really justfought the red brands at the

(13:10):
Sleeping Giant, Yep yes.
With the Surly Orc.
Well, let's start with.
Let's not get on about whokilled who.
So James Iquium decided to kickthings off with a.
Dissonant Whispers.

(13:31):
Dissonant Whispers yes.
That's my favorite, so, againstthe wishes of the party, cast
Dissonant Whispers on one of thered brands and mayhem ensued.
Admittedly, I thought of thered brands and and mayhem ensued
.

James (13:45):
Admittedly, I thought of the townspeople and and they
trusted us.
For us to do something thatthey didn't trust immediately
would have, just you knowsomething like that.

Andrew (13:54):
Yeah, so so you, you handily killed three out of the
four red brands.
And what was the other one'sname?

Catherine (14:03):
Theo Pimble, theo Pimbleble it's a name that I
find highly amusing theo pimblebut we may have to just off him
if he's not gonna.
Yeah, conform yeah, theo is isvery anti-goblin yeah, and we've
got a whole bunch of goblins.

Andrew (14:20):
You got a lot of goblins yeah, I don't know, but you may
have more red brands, and so Imean do I want to employ the red
brands, though I don't knowlike I'm into these goblins.
Okay, they're gonna wear theirlittle bow ties that's cool, so
so let me ask this question.
So you?
So you're now.
So where are you at this point?

(14:42):
Are you still in the sleepinggiant?
Oh no, you were outside of thesleeping giant.
What out back.

Catherine (14:47):
Yeah.

Fable (14:48):
Actually, no, we were on the Times Square, we were
dragging his body.
Yeah, oh, that's right.

Catherine (14:53):
Because Harbin Wester , aka Harlan Coben, had just
come out and given us a wholebunch of grief.
Yes, because he's a pain in mybutt us a whole bunch of grief.

Andrew (15:07):
Yes, because he's a pain in my butt.
Yes, yeah, I'm not a big fan ofhim.
No, no, he's, he's not, he's,he's.
No, he's not a politician, he'snot.
He's not there to, he's justkind of there to be.
There be the head of thechamber of commerce and and kind
of loosely run the town butloosely, that's a good word yeah
, yeah exactly so spineless, yes, ma'am yeah, pretty much,

(15:30):
pretty much.
So let me ask this question whatwould you all like to do next?
Would you do?
You want to, I know, because Iknow the talk is about going to
trisendor Manor, so you want tohead there immediately.
What is your next step in youradventure in this town, fable

(15:55):
Dow.

Fable (15:56):
Yes, what would you?

Andrew (15:57):
like to do.

Fable (15:58):
Put me on the spot.

Andrew (16:00):
Yes, yes, Because you cause you, you got your, your,
your connection with sister G.

Fable (16:11):
Yes, I do.

Andrew (16:13):
So there, there's always that.
Do you want to?
Where would you like to go next?

Fable (16:19):
Chat with her and see if we can figure anything out about
the manner.

Andrew (16:24):
I don't know you can, you can ask sister, sister G,
about, about your sender manor,and see, see what she knows.
Would you like, I mean, wouldyou like to do that?
Sure, okay, so you're going tohead back over to so sister,
sister G's house is right by theshrine of luck, okay, two.

She's literally right there, sowe may as well.

Catherine (17:15):
It's a hop, skip and a jump from where we are.

Fable (17:17):
Yeah.

Catherine (17:18):
Okay.

James (17:20):
I think you should roll a dexterity check to see if it is
an actually a hop skip and ajump.

Andrew (17:28):
Well, that will be an athletics check.
Oh, athletics check, Thank you.
So would you like to roll anathletics check to see if you
can hop, skip and jump over toSister Gary Ells?

Catherine (17:38):
Yeah, hold on.
I got to see if that's adexterity, so I'm plus four on
dexterity.

Andrew (17:45):
Well, what's your for acrobatics?

Catherine (17:48):
Oh, acrobatics.
Sorry, I thought, I thought itwas dexterity Acrobatics.

Andrew (17:52):
I am plus six Plus six, so you're plus six for
acrobatics.

Catherine (17:57):

obelisk D20.
Let obelisk d20.

Andrew (18:06):
Let's see what rock on uh, an eight, uh, so 14, so 14.
So you you easily handily hop,skip and jump over to sister
garyll's house.

Catherine (18:19):
Nicely, nicely done and then I get over there and
I'm like why are you guys takingso?
Long to get over here, Just ahop skip and a jump.

Andrew (18:29):
So what would the other two of you like to do?
Would you like to?

Fable (18:34):
also hop skip.

Andrew (18:35):
I would like to also hop , skip and jump.

Fable (18:37):
I'll attempt.

Andrew (18:37):
So let's go for an athletics check.
That's a 13, a 13.

(18:58):
So so again you.
I mean amazingly enough, I meanbecause you're very, I mean
you're you, you are athletic, soyou know tall, but you still
hop, skip and jump right and youland right next to Zanros hey
Dal, now, now, equium.

Catherine (19:14):
Yes, what would you like to do?

James (19:22):
I'll avoid anything with athletics only because minus
three.
A hop skip and a pulled muscle.
Yeah, yeah, but you know whatHop?

Speaker 5 (19:31):
skip and a fractured hip For the comedy of it For the
comedy of it.

James (19:37):
I will attempt, oh.

Catherine (19:39):
God Right on.

James (19:42):
A 10.
That's with minus.
It's 13 minus three.

Andrew (19:46):
All right.
So you, I got A 10.
That's with minus it's 13 minusthree.
All right, so you?
I got a 10.
So you not?

James (19:52):
Not graceful, I don't have to do the grace.

Andrew (19:55):
There's no grace in this whatsoever, but you are
successful in your hop, skip andjump.
When you land there's a littlebit of wobble, but you stick the
landing and you're okay.

James (20:12):
This is one of those moments where I just embrace
Iquium for who he is and stillquestion how is he possibly
still alive?

Catherine (20:20):
But anyway he must be a hell of a spellcaster.

Andrew (20:24):
Well, I think a lot of it has to do with your patron, I
think I think your your patronis.

James (20:30):
He doth amuse me, so I'll keep him alive exactly exactly,
look, he did it again all right.

Andrew (20:41):
So you're, you're at Sister Gariel's house, and so,
let's see, I'm trying to figureout what.
So, what would you like to?
So what are you going to do?
You knock on the door.
What are you going to?

Fable (20:57):
Yeah, knock on the door, Knock on the door.

Andrew (21:05):
The door slowly creaks open.
Oh, hello again.

Catherine (21:17):
What can I help you with, Sister Gariel?
What?

Andrew (21:19):
can I do you for hey neighbor?
Hello, friend neighbor hellofriend um.

Catherine (21:27):
I was wondering if you had any information on
trisender manor we're headingover there to try to clear out
the red brands, but I suspectwe've got more to deal with than
just red brands oh you, youthink so.

Andrew (21:43):
Huh, that was real condescending yeah, I think so
there, there, there isdefinitely more than meets the
eye to to trascender mannerrobots in disguise what are?

James (22:02):
politicians.
I would have been sodisappointed.

Catherine (22:06):
Fable doesn't get the reference.
It's a Transformers.
Transformers were more thanmeets the eye robots in disguise
.

Fable (22:14):
I think we're all well aware.

Catherine (22:15):
I don't yeah, I know, james was waiting.

James (22:21):
I am Optimus Prime, your maitre d for the Bumble Bumble
that would be amazing.

Catherine (22:25):
look, waiting, I am Optimus Prime, your maitre d'
for the Bumble Bumble.
That would be amazing.
Look, we're run by the AllSpark.
Sorry, we've gone off the rails.

Andrew (22:35):
That's alright.
So yes, there's definitely, Ibelieve, more to Tresendermanor
than just the, than just the redbrands.
You know I have been stationedhere in Phandalin to keep an eye
on the red brands and reportback to the leadership of the

(22:58):
Harpers about what they're doing.
You know, I fear they haven'tdone anything terrible.
You know, it's just a matter oftrying to kind of keep them in
check at the moment.
You know, if anything were toget worse, we might have to call

(23:23):
in reinforcements.
Were to get worse, we mighthave to call in reinforcements.
But right now it's just kind ofmaintaining the status quo.
Harbin Wester is really notthat he may be the town master,
but clearly he's not the onerunning this town.
Running this town, but butfortunately for for the town I

(23:50):
am here to to help keep an eyeand keep things from getting too
out of hand so, aside from thered brands, anything you know,
about in trisender manor redbrands, anything you know about
in trisender manor.

Catherine (24:10):
Like we know there's red brands.
We know there's some prisoners.
That's about the extent of whatwe know, because, um, we've got
this one hostage.
His name is theo pimble.
He's a real pain in my butt.
Um, he told us there are peoplebeing held there, but that's
really all we know.

Andrew (24:28):
Well, you know who the leader of the Red Brands is in
the area.

Catherine (24:35):
Yes, I have it in my notes.

Andrew (24:37):
Oh good, You're taking notes Fantastic.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Fantastic.

Fable (24:47):
Somewhere in here.

Catherine (24:48):
Glasstaff.

Andrew (24:49):
Yes, Glasstaff.
What's his situation.
I don't know much about him.

Catherine (25:28):
Do not underestimate the power that Glass Staff has
Equium, I think we might need toRickroll him.

James (25:40):
I'd love to Alright so.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Glass Staff we need to.
All right so glass staff.

Catherine (25:47):
We need to be careful of any other red brands who
have any kind of like you knowabilities other than being
idiots.

Andrew (25:58):
The red brands are really just a bunch of ruffians.
They're they'reuffians, they'rehired mercenaries.

Catherine (26:07):
Hooligans yes, nair duels.

Andrew (26:10):
Yes, because, again, how often do they do well, nair,
nair, they nair do well.

James (26:22):
So if you've got, short shorts and nairs for short
shorts.
Do you not do well with nairshort shorts?
Do not do well with near, or doyou not do well with short
shorts?
I'm really not sure, anyway,wow I went there, I know I'm

Catherine (26:36):
gonna have that in my head the rest of the day.
Thanks, james, love you, so youwere love you too, so you were
Sorry it's my brain.

Andrew (26:47):
About what else might be in Tresendor Manor.
Yeah, so the one known as thespider oh has sent some bugbears
to provide backup to the redbrands.

Catherine (27:04):
Any owlbears.
I love owlbears.

Andrew (27:07):
No, but there's something important you should
know about the bugbears.
Uh-oh, they wear short shorts.

Catherine (27:16):
Can we defeat them with Nair?

Andrew (27:23):
If they dare wear short shorts.

Catherine (27:27):
Nair for short shorts .

James (27:28):
We know, we're just wondering can we defeat them
with the Nair?
What have I done?

Andrew (27:37):
You brought this you.
You brought this upon yourself.

James (27:40):
This is the look of instant regret.

Andrew (27:50):
So there are, there are bug bears in there, there is,
there is something also known asthe guardian okay, so we have
um why's everybody got nicknames?

Catherine (28:05):
Do I get?
A nickname Like Small but Surly.

Okay, so just Smurly.

Catherine (28:12):
Smurly, swirly.

James (28:15):
Swirly, wow Swirly.

Catherine (28:19):
It's gone out of control Wait wait, wait.

James (28:21):
Swirly is when you hold somebody upside down over the
toilet bowl, right.

Catherine (28:24):
Swirly was what Swirly is when you hold somebody
upside down under the toiletbowl.
Swirly was what some girl wasconvinced was.

Barney's name on how I Met yourMother, nice.

James (28:36):

James (28:46):
Yes, a swirly is different.

Andrew (28:47):
Okay, If you defeat bugbears with nair, you can
defeat the guardian.
You give the guardian a swirly.

James (28:54):
Yes, nailed it.
You got that in the notes.

Andrew (28:59):
Catherine's taking down copious notes on this Swirly the
guardian.
I'm putting it all in Right.

Catherine (29:04):
Swirly.

James (29:05):
the Guardian I'm putting it all in caps Swirly.
So if we give the Britishnewspaper, Bugbears.
Nair.
If we put the British newspaperin a toilet and hit the
bugbears with Nair, we're good.

Andrew (29:16):
Yes.

James (29:17):
Okay, right, the Guardian is another.

Catherine (29:19):
It is yes.

Andrew (29:20):
You nailed it.

Catherine (29:21):
Yeah, okay.
Excellent, you know, the jokesare really good when you have to
explain the jokes.

James (29:29):
It's so good this joke is so funny, I'm going to have to
explain it to you.
Let me tell you everythingabout it.
Let me tell you why it's sofunny.
Let me tell you its etymology.
It once started out as aknock-knock, but then it
transcended into three minutesof stand-up.

Andrew (29:45):
You see, it started with this guy from Nantucket.
Oh no, oh my, anyway, so, yes,so there are the red brands, so
we've got red brands.
There are.
There's Glass Staff.
Yes, there are Bugbe's glassstaff.

(30:06):
Yes, there are bug bears yeah,there is the guardian.

Catherine (30:10):
The guardian, who's hopefully in a bathroom.

Andrew (30:14):
Hopefully, hopefully there's a.

Catherine (30:15):
Cause we need to swirl him.
Yes.

Fable (30:18):
We can.
We can get him in a bathroom,Probably.

Andrew (30:22):
Hopefully, hopefully there's a source of water.

Catherine (30:24):
I was going to say maybe we can get them outside
into like a source of water.
I was going to say maybe we canget him outside into like a
pool of water and like we canfind a way to like whip it up
real fast, like maybe Equium hasa spell or something, a little
mage hand a little unseenservant.

James (30:36):
Yeah, just like get it really going and then just hold
his head in Yep.

Catherine (30:41):
totally the dowel's pretty strong and I'm pretty
angry.
That's a great combo.
You got this head in Yeptotally the dowel's pretty
strong and I'm pretty angry.
That's a great combo.

Andrew (30:47):
You got this.

James (30:49):
Yeah, wait.
So he has strength, rage andthe possibility that I could die
at any moment.

Catherine (30:57):
The possibility that all your bones are just going to
crack spontaneously, you'regoing to turn to death.

James (31:03):
What happened?
He lifted the stapler and allhis bones shattered.

Catherine (31:09):
He breathed wrong, he breathed wrong he sneezed, he
sneezed.

James (31:13):
It's a lot of breath.

Fable (31:15):
It's a lot of breath.

Andrew (31:17):
So before, oh no.

Catherine (31:21):
He's got the cards out.

Andrew (31:23):
Before you finish with Sister Gariel yes.
She says I'm concerned.
I have a few things I wouldlike to give you.

Catherine (31:40):
We like gifts.

Andrew (31:42):
To help protect you and keep you safe when you try to
clear out the red brands andeverything else that is in
Trescender manner.
I want to see you be successful.

rummaging around inside and sheopens the door again and comes

Catherine (33:47):
Yes, you received the Cape of enlargement Before I
read about it.
I do have a question.
Yes, it says it requiresattunement, and I don't know
what attunement is.

Andrew (33:56):
You have to attune to the item.
So you have James.

James (34:01):
You have to spend a prerequisite amount of time
basically getting to know theitem.

Catherine (34:07):
Okay.

James (34:07):
And you're attuning to it in the way that you are able to
.
It's almost, it becomes anextension of you Did you watch
the D&D movie.

Fable (34:14):
Remember the helmet?
Yeah, did you attune to thehelmet?

Catherine (34:17):
Oh, yes, yes, yes yes , yes Okay.
Okay.

Andrew (34:20):
Exactly so.
You have to become one with thecape.

Catherine (34:23):
It's like Dr Strange's cape.

Andrew (34:25):
Sort of yes.

Catherine (34:26):
Okay, all right.
So cape of enlargement.
Wondrous item, very rare,requires attunement.
Ancient runes are stitched insilver thread along the hem of
this grayish purple cape.
The cape has three charges.
As a bonus action, whilewearing the cape, you can expend
one of its charges to enlargeyourself, granting yourself the

(34:48):
following benefits your sizeincreases by one category, from
medium to large, for example.

category, you instead become themaximum possible size in the
space available.
You have advantage on strengthchecks and strength saving

(35:19):
throws.
Yes, yes, until you use anotherbonus action to dismiss them.
The cape regains 1d3 expendedcharges daily at dawn.
Yes.

Andrew (35:29):
Nice, Exciting Dao, you received what is it called.

Fable (35:36):
The Lightbringer Mace.

Andrew (35:38):
The Lightbringer Mace.

Fable (35:40):
It is rare you have a plus one bonus to attack and
damage rolls made withLightbringer.
This weapon was made for acleric of Lathander, the god of
dawn.
The head of the mace is shapedlike a sunburst and is made of
solid brass.
The mace glows as bright as atorch when its wielder commands.

(36:04):
While glowing, the mace dealsan extra 1d6 radiant damage to
undead creatures.

(36:54):
At dawn, if you expend thestaff's last charge and roll on
a d20 on a one, the shaftshatters and is destroyed.

Catherine (37:06):
Mmm fascinating so how long does it take to attune
to an item like can I attune tothe cape on the way to Trisender
Manor?
That's a pretty short walk yeah, I don't think it's a hop, skip
and a jump, and I'm sure thecape will be impressed by that.

(37:31):
Yes, so no I figured I justthat's why I wanted to know how
long it'll probably take about.

Andrew (37:39):
I would, let's say I gotta get.
I gotta get to my dice trayhere.
I've got too many things goingon.
Wait, where am I Like?
Where are my Shattered Obeliskdice?

Catherine (38:01):
Oh, the bag was Right here.
Oh, you have it, okay.

Andrew (38:08):
Okay, the bag was right here.
Oh, you have it okay, okay, soit will take approximately 13
hours how dare you?
To attune to your item.
James, how dare you To attune?
To your item, james, it willtake you only eight hours to

(38:33):
attune to your item.
So what would you like to donow?
Now?
So, Sister Gariel, again shesays, I wish you well on your
journey and best of luck to youclearing out Tresendor Manor.

(38:58):
I look forward to the new B&Bonce it is built.

Catherine (39:06):
Why, thanks?
Please come over for a freedinner when we're open.

Andrew (39:11):
Ooh, thank you, that's very kind of you.

Catherine (39:14):
You've been very helpful.
Harbin Wester does not get afree meal.

Andrew (39:24):
I don't think there's a meal he's ever said no to.

Catherine (39:28):
I'm saying no to a meal for him.

Andrew (39:31):
He won't miss it.
So where would you like to gonext?
You've got some time you needto attune to your items.

James (39:47):
Yeah, I mean, we can.

Catherine (39:52):
I mean, the other thing we need to do is go to
Craigmaw Castle.
Yeah so we either go intoTresunder Manor without attuning
to our items or we hang out inthe woods with the goblins for a
while.

Andrew (40:14):
Or you could also go back to what's his name.
Is it the Stonehill Inn?

Fable (40:21):
Oh, Sildar Sildar, yeah, maybe we should swing by and see
Sildar Sildar, sildar, yeah,maybe we should swing by and see
Sildar.

James (40:27):
We can check on Sildar.

Fable (40:28):
I forgot about him.

Catherine (40:34):
I mean he's no.
Gundren but you know that's notDondren, only you've met.
Gundren we don't know, gundren,yeah, yeah.

Fable (40:40):
We don't know, gundren.

James (40:48):
Yeah, yeah, let's go to the Stonehill Inn and.

Fable (40:56):
I will go talk to Sildar and see if he's any better.
Should we go to Kragmaw Castlefirst?

Catherine (40:58):
Maybe he got us our gold.
Oh yeah, the thing is no matterwhere we go, we're going to get
our ass beat go.

Fable (41:05):
We're going to have to fight, so it's just a matter of
where we want to go well, ittakes a bit to get to Kragmont
Castle, so maybe by the time weget there you're attuned to your
items fair okay, so what's theplan?

Andrew (41:20):
James thoughts you want to go see Sildar?
You could always take a longrest.
I I want to go see, so I meanyou could, you could always take
a long rest and I was going tosay we should probably take a
long rest instead of yeah, yeahbecause then if we're attuned to
everything, then we can, justbecause it's not going to take
us how long is a long rest likeeight?

Catherine (41:38):
hours okay, I'm still not attuned well but you could
so.

Andrew (41:46):
So let's say right now it's probably about it's about
five in the evening.
So between dinner and postdinner and then going to sleep,
I'll still be about 13, 13 hours.
So by morning, by morning youshould be attuned to.
We'll say you'll be attuned bythe morning.

(42:08):
So again, what's the?
You're going to go to theStonehill Inn.

Catherine (42:14):
Check in on Sildar See if he's got our gold.

James (42:19):
Give him our money, Sildar he said he was good for
it, but we'll see if he's up andabout.
Clearly we heal faster than hedoes, but of course he was
beaten for how many?

Catherine (42:32):
Right, Vincent is already back up and great, and
he had multiple broken legs anda dislocated shoulder.
So really I think Sildur isjust kind of a whiner.

Andrew (42:46):
Wow, it was a joke.
No love for Sildar it was ajoke.

Fable (42:54):
I like him when he pays me.

Speaker 5 (42:56):
Yeah, if he's got our money, then I think he's great.

Andrew (43:02):
All right.
So you go to the Stonehill Inn.
You go upstairs, you findSildar's room.
You're going to knock on thedoor.
Okay, I guess.
Yes, yeah, okay, there you go,excellent.

James (43:24):
We just flew in and boy are my arms tired.

Andrew (43:27):
Oh geez, all right.
So Sildar opens the door, hegoes.
Oh my friends, he goes.
Good to see you again.
He's like I am.
I am feeling much better now.
I do have your money, by theway, yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
Great to see you.

Fable (43:44):
Glad you're up.
You're a ship.
What's the saying?
Glad you're feeling better.

James (43:48):
Yes, congratulations on not being dead thank you.

Andrew (43:52):
Thank you for that.
So I've I've set up office atthe at the town master's hall.
I've got the money in the safethere.
I will, I can give it to you.
You know, stay here tonight.
We'll go over there in themorning, I'll give you the money
and then you can do whateveryou want to do from from there.

James (44:15):
Are you um?
Are you up for looking forGundren?

Andrew (44:21):
Where is Gundren?
I thought he was last I heardhe was at the Kragmaw Castle.

James (44:32):
Well, we're going to go to Trescender Manor tomorrow.
Would you like to join us?
We think these things might beconnected just so you're fully
informed.

Catherine (44:50):
Here's what I know about trisender manor.
There's a guy named glass staff, which is a really stupid name.
There's bug bears who can bedefeated with nair, there's a
guy called the guardian, who wecan apparently defeat using a
swirly, and there's a bunch ofred brands, and all of them are

(45:10):
trespassing.

Andrew (45:13):
Unfortunately, I do have business in town here tomorrow
and I cannot.
I must attend to it.
I cannot join you on this, onthis quest.

Catherine (45:23):
Was it the Nair or the Swirlies?

Fable (45:26):
I think it was the Swirlies.

Catherine (45:27):
Probably.

Andrew (45:29):
It was neither.
I just have business I mustattend to as part as being of
the Lord's Alliance.
I what's the Lord's?

Catherine (45:41):
Alliance Got a lot of money.

Andrew (45:48):
We are defenders of the defenseless.

Catherine (45:54):
Is that why you hold up at the townmaster's office?
Because Harbin Wester isdefenseless.

Andrew (46:02):
Pretty much I like.

Catherine (46:05):
Sildar.

Andrew (46:07):
I have.
There was another member of our, our clan here, a man by the
name of Yarno Albrecht easy foryou to say Yarno, albrecht,
yarno, albrecht, yarno.
Albrecht.

Catherine (46:32):
I don't think there's a T.

Andrew (46:34):
There's not.
Would you like some, though?
That's a great idea.
Would you like some tea?

Catherine (46:40):
I would love some tea .

Andrew (46:42):
Alright, let me call for room service.

Catherine (46:49):
Hey room service.

Speaker 5 (46:54):
I knew that was what was about to happen.
I knew it.

James (46:59):
I was hoping it didn't disappoint.
It did not disappoint.

Andrew (47:07):
A small creature comes up the stairs.
Yes, sir.
Tea, tea for the four of us.

Catherine (47:16):
Yes, sir Goes downstairs and you think that
guy's happy working here.
Nope.

Fable (47:26):
I'm looking to poach some employees.

Catherine (47:27):
Give him a sock and then maybe home.

Andrew (47:32):
Dobby is a free elf.
I wouldn't go making enemiesEnemies of the other businesses
in town.

James (47:38):
Yeah, you want to have a good standing on the.

Andrew (47:39):
Chamber of Commerce.
Yes, absolutely yeah.

Catherine (47:44):
I could use all the help I can get right now I
understand, but you might wantto reconsider.

Andrew (47:50):
I'm just saying you may want to reconsider trying to
poach employees from the otherbusinesses in town because
you're going to need permits andthings and they can make it
very difficult for you to to tryto rebuild.
If.
If you start doing that, whatwould you like to do?

Catherine (48:15):
What me?
Yes, yes you.

James (48:17):
How is the tea?

Catherine (48:19):
Yeah, I just want to drink tea.
I'm not really poachingemployees, okay, I'm just asking
.

Andrew (48:24):
No, you, you, I'm just asking.
No, you brought it up so Iwanted to know if you actually
wanted to.
No, okay, you just want the tea?
Yeah, I understand.

James (48:33):
Here's the tea Yarno.
Albrecht is also part of theLords Alliance.

Andrew (48:39):
Yes.

James (48:41):
And so I'm a little concerned that you're not as
concerned for gundren after werescued you, like you know.
That's my question, I'm sorry.
Why are you not as concernedfor gundren as as I think you
should be?

Andrew (48:59):
I.
I'm still looking for gundren,but we we know where he is,
however, yarno.
The issue with Yarno is he washere in Phandalin and my sources
, the last person I talked to,saw him around Tresendor Manor

(49:20):
they saw Gundren.
No or Yarno.

Catherine (49:24):
Where the hell has Yarno gone?
He's at my B&B as well.

Andrew (49:31):
He was probably scoping it out to perhaps plan an attack
on defeating the Red Brands orjust doing reconnaissance to
bring a larger group of peoplein to clear out the red brands.
But apparently he's gone.

Catherine (49:48):
He's gone missing okay, I wonder if he's among the
prisoners that that stupidpimble guy mentioned.

James (49:57):
Oh, I wonder I wonder, hmm, and what did we do with
Theo Pimble?

Catherine (50:05):
Yeah, I don't know.
Is he tied up behind the surlyorc he was going to come with us
?

Andrew (50:09):
No, because you brought him.
I thought you brought him into.
Oh, so is he like we tied him?

Fable (50:12):
up at the.

Catherine (50:13):
Is he downstairs?
What did we do with this guy?
Didn't?

Fable (50:16):
we tie him up at the town square.
Who did we tie up at the town?
No, that was a dead guy.
We dragged the dead guy.

James (50:21):
That was a dead guy, but he was with us, he was, he was
with us, so is he still with us.

Catherine (50:27):
I forget, did we gag?

Fable (50:29):
him.

Andrew (50:31):
I think Theo is still with you.

Fable (50:33):
Oh, sorry, bro, that's what that smell is oh yeah.

James (50:38):
The whole time he's just standing behind me.
She's like so this Theo Thimmelguy, so this Theomar.

Catherine (50:42):
Pimble guy have you ever heard a stupider name.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
Hi I'm right here.

Andrew (50:49):
That would be me.
I've heard of stupider namesZanros, zanros.

Catherine (50:55):
Bumble.
Bumble was my grandmother'sname and my great grandmother's
name and it comes from a longline of royalty, yeah, royals in
your family, pimble.

James (51:13):
I mean, he does sound like he comes from a long line
of insurance salesmen.
That's just my thought I was,you know, just thinking out loud
here, just work stuff.

Catherine (51:23):
we got two issues here.
Pimble, you got a smart mouthand your employment is
contingent upon me saying thatyou can be employed.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
So maybe shut up.

Catherine (51:37):
I liked the part where I didn't remember you were
with us.

James (51:39):
I'm going to pull Theo aside just to a corner and go,
okay.
So what's the deal?
What do you know about theguardian and and the um and
these bug bears?
Have you met any of the bugbears?
Do you know of them yet?

Andrew (51:58):
I, I don't.
I don't know anything about thebug bears.
I, I, I so wanted to.
Now you said theo pimble is aninsurance salesman.
I just want to go, phil.

Catherine (52:12):
Phil connors yes, theo, that's him, it's canon.

James (52:17):
It's it's him, that's him , that is him wait.
It's canon, it's him, that'shim, that is him Wait.

Catherine (52:27):
That's fantastic, is Pimble somehow shortened from
Ryerson.

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Ned Ned Ryerson, ned Theo Theo Pimble.

Andrew (52:38):
All right.
So you're having, you're stillhaving tea with Sildar.
Yes, how winter is how winterwith Sildar.
Yes, how winter is how winter.

James (52:48):
So they're how winter yes .

Andrew (52:51):
Don't like that.
So you you know that yarn oh ismissing was last spotted by
Trescender manner.
You've got some time to attuneto your new items.
However, how much of the teahave you had to drink?

Fable (53:20):
Oh God.

Catherine (53:24):
I don't want to tell you.

Andrew (53:30):
I'm just messing with you.
There's nothing wrong with thetea I was going to say about 50%
.

James (53:38):
I literally rolled percent on it.
How much would I have drank?

Andrew (53:42):
How much would I have drank?
That's what I was rolling to.
No, so the tea is delicious,earl Grey piping hot.

Catherine (53:55):
Damn it.

Speaker 5 (53:58):
Damn it, ickman, just swallow the wrong way again.

James (54:03):
Where'd Sputzi eat?
The plate the wrong way again.
Where'd Sputzi eat?
The plate so what would youlike to do next?
I think we take our long restyeah.

Andrew (54:15):
We can be long.
Okay, so you take a nice longrest.
I guess you're going to sleepon the floor and there's not
enough beds in this or you'regoing to try to get get rooms
for the night.
I don't want to spend money, soyou're saving every penny up

(54:48):
for the Bumble.
Bumble B&B, so okay so you'regoing to sleep on the floor of
Sildar's as long as he's coolwith that he's fine, he doesn't
care.

Catherine (54:58):
You guys saved his life, so that's the least he can
do also I'm very small, so it'snot like I take up a ton of
room?

Fable (55:04):
not at all.

Andrew (55:05):
Yeah, dal, what are you doing?

Fable (55:07):
I'm also sleeping on the floor, but I take a little bit
more room.

Catherine (55:10):
That's all right, you can just spoon Zanros, okay,
aww People, let me tell youabout my best friend.

James (55:20):
Equium.
I have a question.

Andrew (55:22):
Yes.

James (55:30):
So the staff that I had before, I can use the staff of
defense as my arcane focus right.

Andrew (55:42):
I don't see why not.

James (55:44):
Because it's a tune.

Andrew (55:45):
Yeah.

James (55:46):
Right, and the other staff is not a magical staff,
it's just.

Andrew (55:49):
Yeah.

James (55:50):
Which I focus, okay, right.

Andrew (55:52):
I don't see.
Why not?

James (55:52):
I don't see why I didn't see, why not I just?

Andrew (55:55):
I'm okay with that.
I figured I would ask just tomake sure, make sure you take a
long rest in D&D Beyond so itresets anything if you had used
any spell slots or anything likethat or had lost any HP.

Catherine (56:13):
Make sure you reset all that.
I already did it.

Andrew (56:17):
Excellent Dal, you good Alright.
Iquam, I'm good Alright, sothat's the All right Equium.

Catherine (56:25):
I'm good, all right.

Fable (56:29):
So that's the extent of my Spanish knowledge.

Andrew (56:35):
Dawn raises.

Speaker 5 (56:36):
Sun rises the next morning.

James (56:38):
I was ready for you to say dawn breaks, you all, take
10 points of damage.

Catherine (56:43):
Dawn breaks you all.
Burst into flames and find outyou're vampires.

Andrew (56:47):
That's right.

Fable (56:48):
That's not how Twilight goes.

James (56:49):
Actually, that's a really good plot hook for everybody's
characters.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
Dawn breaks and they all burst into flames.
Oh, that sounds like a greattime to mention.

James (57:02):
What are we being hit by the sun?

Andrew (57:03):
Hot Topic has Team Jacob .
Oh, that sounds like a greattime to mention.
What are we being?

Fable (57:05):
hit by the sun.
The sun Hot Topic has TeamJacob shirts, but not Team
Edward.

Andrew (57:10):
Right.

Fable (57:10):
So I think I know what side they're taking.

Andrew (57:12):
Yeah, absolutely.
So you're up in the morning,sildar, again he goes.
You know, good luck to you all.
He goes again.
He goes, join me, follow medown to the town master's hall
so I can repay you finally.
Sure, so you exit the StonehillInn, just walk just around the

(57:39):
corner, basically to the townmaster's hall, and he goes
inside.
He's fiddling with the safe, hepulls out the money I think it
was $.
Inside he's fiddling with thesafe, he pulls out the money, I
think it was 200.
Does someone have the?

Fable (57:49):
notes on that.
I definitely have it.

Andrew (57:51):
Was it 200 gold pieces he was rewarding you with.

Catherine (57:55):
I didn't think it was that much.

Andrew (57:58):
Or just 50.
I can't remember if it was 50or 200.

Speaker 5 (58:00):
I thought it was 50.

Fable (58:08):
The 50 was the supplies that we got and gave them.

Catherine (58:12):
Right, was it 100?
That's probably 200 gold piecereward.

James (58:20):
Yes, well, there's 100 gold piece reward to take Glass
Staff out.
Yeah, Sildar offers to pay theparty 50 gold pieces.

Andrew (58:25):
Yes, well, there's 100 gold piece reward to take Glass
Staff out.
Yeah, sildar offers to pay theparty 50 gold pieces to escort
him.

Catherine (58:30):
Yeah, I thought it was 50.

Andrew (58:31):
Okay.

Catherine (58:33):
So we're just splitting that up and giving the
extra to the goblins again.

Fable (58:37):
Was it 50 each or 50 general?

Andrew (58:39):
50 altogether.
Okay, so you guys split that up.

Catherine (58:43):
We get 16 each, and then we give two to the goblins
to fight over.

Andrew (58:50):
Excellent, all right, everybody has that in their
inventory now.

Catherine (58:55):
I'm working on it.

Andrew (58:56):
Okay.

Catherine (58:58):
I don't remember where my inventory is.

Fable (59:01):
You know, when you click like actions, it's a.
You know, when you click Likeactions, it's a tab in that.

James (59:08):
So 16 gold, and what?

Andrew (59:11):
That's it 16 gold it looks like this the goblins get
2 gold.

Catherine (59:16):
That.
Oh I see, action got it, thankyou.
Inventory.
Inventory Got it, thank you.

Andrew (59:28):
Inventory.
Inventory Cha-ching, cha-ching,cha-ching, adjust gold.
All right, now you're in thetown center.
You've just been paid by Sildar, so what would you like to do?

(59:48):
Are you going to finally headout to Trescender Manor?
Yes, yes.

James (01:00:00):
Yes, how many days will?

Andrew (01:00:02):
it take us to get there Not even a full day.

James (01:00:10):
Fantastic.
I believe you said five minutes.
That's why I asked, Because youlooked at me like what are you
talking about, James Days?
Moments, all right, so you haveto roll three hop skips and a
jump to get there.

Andrew (01:00:29):
That's right.
How many hop, skips and jumpsis it to Trescender Manor?

James (01:00:33):
If you fail three times, you're dead.
All right, everybody payingattention.

Andrew (01:00:38):
Yep, all right, so you're going to enter.
You're finally going to get upto the manor.

Catherine (01:00:53):
Oh crap, this is a lot more work than I anticipated
.

Fable (01:01:01):
This looks rather dilapidated.

Thanks.

Andrew (01:01:08):
The deserted manor grounds have plenty of tracks
leading to a stone staircasejust off the empty ruin of a
large kitchen.
At the bottom of the stairsstands an unlocked door with

(01:01:29):
something beyond it.
Again you're at the manor.
Again, it's just utter ruins.

at this point, so we've got a door.
There's something behind it.
Just thinking about whatZanrose is going through at the
moment, I'm gonna say Zanrose isgoing to burst through the door
, as long as you two are alrightwith that.
Look at your face.

James (01:02:01):
I'm just fucking with you god first the poison tea, then
the exploding door.

Andrew (01:02:06):
Exactly he's trying to get smothered.

James (01:02:08):
All slated.

Happily ever after.
Okay, guys, I'm just going inthis is freaking stupid.
This is my house.

Andrew (01:02:20):
Whose house?
Zanros's house.

Fable (01:02:24):
Zanros's world we just live in.

Andrew (01:02:26):
That's right, all right.

I open the door.

Andrew (01:02:33):
Roll me, I'm just kidding.
The door opens onto afive-foot-wide landing, that is,
15 feet above a large cellarwith stone steps descending to
the floor in two short flights.
Another door stands beneath thestairs to the north.

(01:02:56):
A large stone cistern occupiesthe Western part of the room,
whose walls are lined with kegsand barrels.
What would you like to do?
What's?
What's the order?
You're going in first.

(01:03:17):
Obviously Zanros is in first.
Who's following Zanros?

Fable (01:03:21):
I'll take the back, so you're going to take the back.

Andrew (01:03:24):
Okay, so You're in the middle.
I'll take the back.
You're going to take the back.

James (01:03:27):
Okay, iguam, you're in the middle and we have Theo
Pimble with us.

Fable (01:03:30):
Oh shit, yeah.

James (01:03:31):
And Theo Pimble.
I keep forgetting about thatguy.
Actually, we should probably goin, because didn't we take
their?
We took their capes, the RedBrands capes.

Andrew (01:03:43):
He has one and, if I do recall, recall they were either
too short or too long, so we'llmake it look um I'm gonna walk
through the door, like you'rethinking we're having prisoners
okay, so wait.
So you're gonna dress're goingto wear a cape.

James (01:04:04):
Yeah, I'm wearing one of the Red Brands capes.

Andrew (01:04:06):
So you and Theo are going to pretend?
Well, he is a Red Brand.

Yeah.

Andrew (01:04:11):
So you're going to also pose as a Red Brand, but Xanros
has already burst through thedoor you can just pretend I'm an
escaped prisoner.

Get back here.
Yeah, I'm so spry.
Get back here, yeah.

James (01:04:26):
I'm so spry.
Go after her.

Andrew (01:04:27):
Okay, so what's happening?
So how are you dealing withthat?

James (01:04:33):
We go right in after Zanros, as if we're chasing them
.

Andrew (01:04:39):
Okay, so remember there's two flights.
So you're on a, on a five footlanding.
There's two flights of stairsdown to the open area of this,
the cellar so there's no,there's no ceiling, there's no
floor, it's just steps down.

James (01:05:02):
Is that in my steps?

Andrew (01:05:05):
down is that in life, well here, well there, there's
sort of because there's there'sthe ruins of the, the kitchen.
We're above this, so so thereis a ceiling to it okay but it's
.
This was what 15 15 feet highfrom from where you are.
It is.
What did it say?
15 feet above a large cellar,so you're at a five-foot-wide

(01:05:28):
landing and it's 15 feet down,so it's probably about 20 feet
from floor to ceiling.
At the very bottom, at thebottom of the stairs, there's a
door to the north and then tothe west.
In the western side of thisroom of the cellar is the
cistern.

James (01:05:46):
There's all sorts of kegs and barrels around okay there's
also.

Andrew (01:05:52):
There's also a door just northwest.
So there's some barrels.
Yeah, the cistern to the west,north of the north of the
cistern, are some barrels andthere's a door between the
barrels and the cistern thereand then there's a door between,
kind of underneath thestaircase heading north okay, so

(01:06:15):
my apologies, we're on a fivefoot landing yes, 15 foot and
we're looking out.

James (01:06:25):
You're looking down into the cellar.
Down into the cellar, but oneither side of this, landing,
yes, is stairs going down oneither side, on either side of
the landing or stairs going down.
You've got stairs going down,okay, and at the bottom of those
, how, how, how far down doeseach staircase go?
Is it like a 10 foot, is itlike a five foot, then down to

(01:06:48):
another landing, or is it like a?
Like a really long?

Andrew (01:06:50):
staircase, no go, it's two sets of, so it goes down to
a landing and then down to thefloor of the of the cellar on
each side.

James (01:06:59):
Yes, so we'll go down to the bottom.
We'll go down.
As you're looking at it, I willgo down the left side, okay, so
go down left to the landing andthen down again to this floor
okay.

Andrew (01:07:15):
So you're now kind of standing dead center of this
cellar area.
To your you're.
You're down at the bottom ofthe flight of stairs.
So to your right you look up.
You see the door that you justcame through.

James (01:07:31):
Oh, oh, oh wait, Now I understand.
I think I understand.
I just want to make sure I'mI'm understanding this problem.

Andrew (01:07:37):
Yeah.

James (01:07:38):
So it's, it's basically like, it's like this and then
like it's like this and then.

Andrew (01:07:54):
So it was like you're on the landing.
Immediately to your left is aset of stairs down there's a, a
small landing there.

James (01:07:57):
It's like and then the stairs go this, and then the
stairs go like yeah, yeah, yeah,exactly okay okay, I was
drawing it wrong.

Andrew (01:08:03):
Yep, you got it, I'm glad.

Speaker 5 (01:08:04):
I asked.

James (01:08:05):
Okay, okay.
So we're kind of in the centerof that area down below the
landing where we started out.

Andrew (01:08:14):
Right.

James (01:08:15):
And from where we are across to the other side of the
room, are we facing north?
Are we facing?
So when you come down thestairs, you're now facing north.

Andrew (01:08:27):
So when you come down the stairs, you're now facing
north.
So what you see is to yournorth.
You see the other set of stairsgoing up.
Underneath those stairs you seea door to the north, To your
right, which is east.
You look up, you see the dooryou came through on the landing

(01:08:52):
To your left, you see thecistern.
How big is the cistern?
It's about 10 feet wide by 15feet deep, so it comes out 15
feet from the wall and it's 10feet wide by 15 feet deep, so it
comes out 15 feet from the walland it's 10 feet wide.
The room itself is about 30feet from south to north.

James (01:09:12):
Okay.

Andrew (01:09:14):
And that cistern is right in the middle of that wall
.
So if you turn left and facethe cistern, yeah.
Now the cistern is dead.
In front of you, to the rightof the cistern are now the
cistern is dead.
In front of you, to the rightof the cistern, are some kegs
and barrels.
There's a door on the righthand side of the cistern and
there's a wall on the left handside of the cistern and more

(01:09:34):
kegs and barrels over there okay, and a door center of the wall
in the north Okay.
And a door center of the wall inthe north.
Well, the door is underneaththe, so the stairs came down,

(01:09:59):
landing down, and so kind ofunder that landing is a door to
the north.

James (01:10:03):
Oh, I see, Okay, okay, I have this rough, but I don't
think it's okay.
I want to go look in thecistern.

I mean, we know there's something in the cistern
.
Do we want to do that first?

James (01:10:24):
Well, if it's dark and shadowy and has tentacles, it it
might be my patron, but youknow in which case you just want
to, you want to shake.

Hey, how are you?
Can I have a?

James (01:10:36):
couple others and I'll shake your tentacle and I'll
have another spell, please, umso you're going to examine the
cistern.
Is everybody good with that,our only other way out is that
door, the way we came in, andthen the door that's under the
landing.

Andrew (01:10:54):
Well, there's also the door to the right of the cistern
.
So if you're facing the cistern, there's a door to the right of
the cistern as well.

There's two doors the door by the stairs, the door by
the cistern well, there's twodoors, okay, the door by the
stairs, the door by the cisterngotcha.
It's a question.
Yes, are we keeping up enoughfor you?
Oh, no, no, not you you are wekeeping up the ruse of dal and I
are prisoners, and you and theoat this point.

James (01:11:22):
No, because if there's because if there's nobody here
in the room, we can do thatagain, if it were.
I assumed when we came, when wewere coming up here that
someone would be at the very,since the place is ruined and
we're essentially going into thebasement, is that?

Andrew (01:11:44):
correct.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that correct?
Yeah, yeah.

James (01:11:49):
I would say I asked Theo what's in the cistern.

What's in the cistern .

James (01:12:03):
Hey Theo, what's in the cistern?
Hey Theo, what's in the cistern.

Andrew (01:12:11):
How are you asking the question?
In what manner are you askingthis question?

James (01:12:34):
On one hand, one Eldritch Blast will take you out because
you've got like two hit pointsleft.
That could be an assumption onmy part.

Andrew (01:12:41):
Well, he did have a long rest as well, so he did recover
some of that.
He's still not completelyhealed, but he's not as weak as
he once was the day before.
He has a little bit of time torest and heal, but not a lot.

(01:13:02):
Let's put it this way anEldritch Blast probably would
still finish him and heal, butnot not a lot.
Probably and let's put it thisway an eldritch blast probably
would still finish him off.
Okay, but not, he's not at twopoints um.

James (01:13:12):
You know what are we looking for like?
Is there something in thatcistern?

Andrew (01:13:24):
in that cistern?
Yeah, not no in the othercistern, it's just water
anything live in the water sure,microorganisms, I mean, you
name it, there's stuff thatthere's oh, he's a biologist now
I like you better when you'rean insurance salesman.

(01:13:46):
Theo, Theo Bimble.
I'm an unemployed biologist.
This is the only job I couldget.
It's a tough economy.
Okay, oh boy.
There are not many jobs outthere for biologists.

James (01:14:04):
Stay in school, kids.

Andrew (01:14:08):
That liberal arts degree is going to do you no good.

Hey Theo.
Yes, if you're so convincedthere's nothing in that water,
go, stick your hand in it.

Andrew (01:14:21):
Theo walks over to the water, Slowly puts his hand in
One, two, three.
There I did it.

No no.

James (01:14:32):
No, no, I tell you what If you yes yes you can keep your
hand in there until I say takeit out, I'll give you a gold

(01:14:56):
piece oh wow, this is like thattime you paid my sister 20 to
eat a piece of calamari.

Speaker 5 (01:15:02):
Yeah.

Fable (01:15:03):
What oh?

yeah.

Fable (01:15:05):
She doesn't like calamari .
No, I love it.

I tried paying her $20 to eat one yesterday and she
said no.
She asked how big a bite it hadto be.

Fable (01:15:13):
I would do a lot for $20.
Okay, calamari, come on, it'sdelicious.

James (01:15:22):
My mom should have to pay you to eat it.
But what?

would you do for a Klondike?

James (01:15:24):
bar.

Andrew (01:15:25):
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
So wait, you're going to giveme a gold piece if I do what?

James (01:15:30):
Hold your hand in the water.

Andrew (01:15:33):
Puts his hand back in the water and holds it there.

James (01:15:36):
Swish it around.

Does he look like he's in pain?
Swishes it around.

Andrew (01:15:42):
Just looking you dead in the eye, just doing exactly
what you told him to do okaythat's the thingy for the full
payoff.

James (01:15:54):
Yeah, oh, that's cool.
Um, why don't you jump in?

oh wow, even I wasn't gonna do that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
Oh, wow.

Even.

James (01:16:06):
I wasn't going to do that , Sure.
Oh, come on Dio.

Andrew (01:16:11):
Tell me what I want to know.

James (01:16:13):
What do you want to know?
I want to know where the trapsare.
I want to know where the hiddenstuff is.
What's in the water?

Andrew (01:16:22):
I don't know what's in?
The water.

James (01:16:24):
What's in the water.
I just want to do an insightcheck when he's putting his
hands in the water to see ifhe's hiding something or if he's
avoiding something or if hethinks that you know.
I just want to know what livesin here, that's all.

Andrew (01:16:42):
Okay, so roll an insight check 14.
Alright.
So Theo is got his hand underthe water.

(01:17:05):
Suddenly you see this look onhis face Rat row, Kind of a
questioning look, and he reacheshis hand in a little bit
further and he's like there'ssomething down here.

(01:17:27):
Oh, boy.

Dude, you sure you want to do that?
Yeah, I'll let him.

Andrew (01:17:38):
And all of a sudden he pulls out of the water just this
rope and the rope continuesdown into the water.
But he's just holding up, kindof like the.
End, Not like the end of therope, but just like a piece of
the rope.
But the rope just continuesdown into the water and he's

(01:17:59):
just standing there looking atthe three of you like he doesn't
know what it is.

Fable (01:18:05):
Interesting.

Andrew (01:18:08):
What do you want to do?

What can we tell about the rope?

Andrew (01:18:20):
It's a rope.

Can I do an insight check to try to figure something
out about the rope?
Do?

Andrew (01:18:25):
an investigation check.

Investigation check.

Andrew (01:18:27):
Investigation check on the rope.

Fable (01:18:29):
I would also like to do that.

Okay, investigation Plus one, okay, so 20.

Andrew (01:18:41):
It's definitely a rope.
There's nothing special aboutit.
It's definitely a rope.
There's nothing special aboutit.
It's wet, it doesn't.
It looks like.
It doesn't look like it's beenthere a long time, so it doesn't
look like it's.
It doesn't have anythinggrowing on it or anything.
It just looks like a rope.

Fable (01:19:02):
Can I do an investigation to try to see into the water?

The rope is here for a good time, not for a long time
.

Andrew (01:19:14):
Yes, you can do an investigation check.

Fable (01:19:16):
Okay, I have an 18 then.

Andrew (01:19:18):
An 18.

Fable (01:19:19):
James laughs at my jokes.
I didn't hear that one.

I said, the rope is here for a good time, not for a
long time.

Andrew (01:19:27):
So all you notice it is just clean, cold, fresh water.
It's about 10 feet deep.
There's a two foot, it's twofoot high, so the ridge around
the cistern is two feet high.
So there's two feet high ofwater and then it goes down

(01:19:49):
below that, but it's a total often feet deep.
So eight feet below the flooris the water.
You notice that there are drainpipes from the roof of the
manor and that's what's fillingup the cistern.

James (01:20:07):
But that cistern's a like .
I don't know how to put this.

Andrew (01:20:12):
It's not a spring, it's not just collecting water.

James (01:20:14):
It's not a spring, it's not just when the manor was
intact.
Yes, this is just a naturalcistern to take runoff water
from the roof, or what have you?
Just to provide fresh water.

Andrew (01:20:28):
You are correct.

James (01:20:29):
Okay, okay and okay, and you want to pull the rope?

Andrew (01:20:54):
I'll pull the rope you want to pull the rope, give me a
strength check, or I guess?
Yeah, strength check, yeah,yeah.

Fable (01:21:15):
Damn, that's a 10.

James (01:21:24):
With your strength, modifier yeah.

Fable (01:21:28):
Not your best roll, mm-mm .

Andrew (01:21:31):
So you pull, you pull on the rope.
There's very little resistance.
You feel a little bit of weightto it, Like it's not just you
know it's not just a rope, so,but it's, but it also is.
You're also able to to pull therope kind of toward you.

(01:21:52):
So it's, it doesn't feel likeit's attached to anything down
below, but you, you are pullingit and the rope continues to
pull slowly out of the water.
I'm going to keep pulling.

Fable (01:22:12):
I'll keep pulling it, all right.

Andrew (01:22:13):
Give me another strength check.

Fable (01:22:18):
Oh damn that one's freaking failed me too.

Andrew (01:22:22):
Eight so it keeps coming .
There's a little bit moreresistance on it now.
So you're trying to pull it,but it's not fighting back, but
it's not.

Fable (01:22:37):
Should I keep pulling it?

Andrew (01:22:38):
Give it another strength .

Fable (01:22:39):
check what the fuck that's a five.
It's just getting worse.

Andrew (01:22:46):
You feel it, you feel yourself, it's now.
This is like a tug of war kindof thing.
So it's not pulling against you, it's not pulling back, but
it's not giving any.

Fable (01:23:06):
I'll try for a better roll, I guess give it another
shot a seven.

Andrew (01:23:15):
Xanros, do you want to help?

Fable (01:23:16):
out.
Yeah, someone help me.

James (01:23:18):
I'd help out, but I'd be dragged dragged under by that
rope just for the sake of comedy, I rolled and I got a one Okay.

Andrew (01:23:30):
I got a 15.
Now it's a minus two.

Fable (01:23:32):
What's that.

Speaker 5 (01:23:32):
I have a 15.
Now you got a 15.

Fable (01:23:34):
What do you got, ooh.

Andrew (01:23:39):
I'm at 21.
Between the two of you, youfinally feel it the rope starts
coming Nicely done.
You start to see somethingsolid under the water, a mass
attached to the end of the rope.

(01:24:00):
Oh boy, attached to the end ofthe rope.
Oh boy, it's starting to getcloser and closer to the surface
as you pull.
What do you want to do?
You want to pull it out of thewater.

Yeah.

Andrew (01:24:19):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:24:27):
Before they pull it out of the water.

James (01:24:31):
I'm just going to be ready with an Eldritch Blast.

Andrew (01:24:39):
What you pull out of the water, attached to the rope, is
a waterproof satchel.
Oh, there is a leather buckleon the top of the satchel
holding it closed and keeping it.
It's all tightly wound up so nowater can get into it.

(01:25:02):
Okay, so whatever it iscontaining is contained within
it, not able to get out.
What would you like to do withthe satchel?

not able to get out.
Did I say that like that?

Andrew (01:25:16):
poor choice of words, or was it?

I mean, I feel like we have to open this, but
there's somebody in the satchelwhat is small that could to open
the satchel.
Well, yeah, but there'ssomebody in the satchel.
What is small that could be inthe satchel?
How big is the satchel?

Andrew (01:25:32):
It's satchel-sized.

Fable (01:25:34):
Oh great, all right, that's real helpful, could I?

fit my laptop in the satchel.

James (01:25:40):
So larger than a haversack but less than a sack.

Will it fit under the plane seat in front of me?
It will.

Andrew (01:25:47):
It's not.
This is what I would call a daypack for a day hike.

James (01:25:53):
So it is Haversack sized.

Andrew (01:25:55):
Yeah, it's a cross body.

I feel like there's probably something in there.
It's a fanny pack from the1980s.
Exactly, it's a crossbody.
I feel like there's probablysomething in there.

James (01:26:05):
It's a fanny pack from the 1980s.

Exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:26:08):
It's either money or something that's going to try to
kill us, so Iquium be, readywith the Eldritch Blast.

Let's see what we got .

Andrew (01:26:20):
Who's opening it?

I'm opening it, you're opening it.
It's my house, it's my satchel.

Andrew (01:26:25):
Okay, okay, okay, your life.

Okay.

Andrew (01:26:31):
Was your house.

Funny, he's hilarious , he's a comedian.

James (01:26:36):
Sure am.
Inside the satchel is a notethat says under no circumstance
should you open the satchel.

They really should have put that on the outside of
the satchel.

James (01:26:47):
On the back is a reminder saying do not put this in the
satchel.

Andrew (01:26:50):
If found, please return to.

I'm going to insist on continuing to make seven
references.
What's in the satchel?

Andrew (01:26:58):
So you're opening the satchel?

Yes.

Andrew (01:27:01):
Are you reaching into the satchel?

Can I just peer into the satchel first?

Andrew (01:27:06):
It's very dark, it's hard to see.

Anybody got a?

Fable (01:27:08):
light.
I got that staff thingy.

Andrew (01:27:13):
Light it up.
Do I have a light You're goingto reach in?

Hold on.
Okay, can I hold my torch?
Over it and see what's inside.
Yes, Okay, I want to do thatthen, okay Okay.

Andrew (01:27:37):
You see the light of the torch glints off of a couple
shiny objects.
Are they eyeballs?
No, that wouldn't be fun.
Actually, give me aninvestigation, check, all right.

Fable (01:28:01):
Four.
Can I look in the bag so?

Andrew (01:28:08):
so.
So there's, there's somethingreflective in there, something
that that the light is shiningoff of, but you can't quite tell
what it is there.
The bag is not moving, so there, there's no indication that
there's something living in thebag.
There's no movement whatsoever,so, but you do notice some

(01:28:35):
reflections, the light dancingoff of objects inside of the
satchel Del come here and see ifyou can see what this is.

I can't quite make it out.
I don't want to stick my handin there.
Theo you like sticking yourhand in stuff what is it?

Fable (01:28:58):
an investigation.

Andrew (01:29:00):
Alright, that'll be 19 so you are able, so you're able
to look in.
You notice there's a couplebottles containing liquids.
There appears to be some coinand some other objects in the

(01:29:26):
bag.
And that's what you say it'shard to tell because they're in
the very bottom of the bag soit's hard to tell what they are.
But there is other stuff inthere.
You just can't.
Until you pull it out, youcan't tell what it is.

Fable (01:29:42):
Alright, who's sacrificing their arm?

James (01:29:46):
Cast Mage Hand.
Okay, alright, and use the MageHand to grab the stuff in the
bag, or we can just dump it outonto the Mage.

Hand.

Andrew (01:29:58):
So the Mage Hand is going to turn the bag over and
dump out the contents.

James (01:30:06):
I was thinking we could just dump the contents into the.

Andrew (01:30:09):
Mage.

Speaker 5 (01:30:09):
Hand, dump the contents into the Mage Hand.

Andrew (01:30:11):
Okay, so you dump the contents into the Mage Hand.
Into the Mage Hand fall twopotion bottles, a bunch of coins
fall out of the of the magehand onto the floor and a set of

(01:30:32):
clothing falls out of the bagas well what kind of clothing
I'm just ordinary travel clothesthat no armor, nothing like
that.
Ordinary travel clothes that noarmor, nothing like that.

James (01:30:47):
Just travel clothes.

Did somebody's mom put their name in the travel
clothes Give?

Andrew (01:30:52):
me an investigation check.

James (01:31:01):
Fifteen.

Twelve, yeah, 12.

Andrew (01:31:19):
There's just two initials on a little label on
the clothing and it just says GS.

Fable (01:31:32):
Glass staff.

Speaker 5 (01:31:38):
Hmm.

James (01:31:40):
That's obviously where he hides his extra work uniform.
Doesn't by any chance on thelapel or anything, say
Chick-fil-A.

Fable (01:31:52):
Does it?

Andrew (01:31:53):
There's no name tag.
No name tag to speak of.
It's the target lady.
There's just a little badgewith the red target on it.
All right, so what'd you end up?
So you want to inspect theseitems?

(01:32:16):
What do you want to?
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:32:19):
Sure.

Andrew (01:32:21):
Okay, so give me another investigation check, or
actually give me an Arcana check.

Fable (01:32:29):
I was going to say Okay.

Yeah 19.

Andrew (01:32:33):
Oh nice.

James (01:32:35):
You said Arcana right.

Andrew (01:32:36):
Arcana 19.
18.
18?
.

Fable (01:32:40):
No 15.

Andrew (01:32:41):
15,.
Okay, so you recognize thesepotions.
One of them is a potion ofhealing.

Oh, excellent.

Andrew (01:32:53):
And one of them is a potion of invisibility.
Oh, great Great and if you askTheo, aka Rain man, he goes

(01:33:14):
that's 50 pieces of gold,definitely, definitely 50 pieces
of gold laughing just waiting,waiting for him to say
definitely not my underweardefinitely not my underwear.

James (01:33:25):
Walmart, definitely not my underwear.
Walmart sucks.
Five minutes to Wapner, fiveminutes to initiative, that's
right.

Andrew (01:33:32):
You don't know how right you are.
So there's 50 gold pieces aswell for you to split up.
So that's another 16.
Another 16, each 16 gold.

James (01:33:44):
All right, so don't we already have gold?
Gold's my favorite do we notalready have uh?

Andrew (01:34:01):
yes, james potions.

Fable (01:34:04):
I have one potion of healing, because we found one, I
think, and I held on to it andI think you also might have one.

James (01:34:12):
I was supposed to have one too, because I know that I
had one and you had one, becauseI had one, because I would be
presumably in the back castingspells, so if I could get to you
.
So now, each of us have one.
Basically, zanros, you hold oneand each of us have so you now

(01:34:34):
each have a potion of healingyes, but it's got a healing
potion.

Andrew (01:34:40):
Okay, okay.
So now you've figured out.
There really is nothing much tothe cistern.

(01:35:03):
There was something hiding inthere, but it actually ended up
being a good thing.
So what would you like to donext?
Again, remember, just to theright of the cistern is the one
door there.
There's also the door in thenortheast, underneath the
staircase that goes north, soyou can go west through that

(01:35:27):
door or north through thethrough the other door let's go
to the one you said.

James (01:35:41):
On the other side of the cistern, to the left of the
cistern, are barrels and stufflike that.

Andrew (01:35:45):
Right, so, if you are, you're basically facing the
cistern right now.
So the cistern is 10 feet wide.
In front of you.
There is on either side of thecistern.
There's another 10 feet oneither side, okay, up against
the walls are barrels and kegs,okay.
And then there's a kind offive-foot path in between, and

(01:36:10):
right next to the right-handside of the cistern, up against
that wall, is a door.

Okay.

James (01:36:19):
Let's look in that door.

Andrew (01:36:23):
Everybody want to look in that door.

James (01:36:24):
Yeah, Because my thought is that one of those doors is
either an ante room or supplyroom.
If the cistern is right hereand there's more barrels here,
or it could be nothing, it couldbe because we're in a basement.
Though right, we're in abasement.

(01:36:45):
Yeah, right, we're in abasement.
Oh sorry, I'll go on.

Andrew (01:36:52):
All right, so.
So this is a small kind ofspace.
Who's going?
What's the who's going in first?
You're going in first.
Equium.

James (01:37:08):
Uh, um, you're going in first Equium.
Is there light?

Andrew (01:37:15):
I'm sorry.

James (01:37:15):
Is there light?
Is there torchlight in the room?

Andrew (01:37:17):
There is, so I'll go in, okay.
Okay, the small storeroom hasbeen converted into living
quarters.
Two double bunks stand againstthe wall near the door, while

(01:37:51):
more barrels and crates fill thesouthern half of the chamber.
Three humans look up at you asyou open the door.

James (01:37:59):
Roll for initiative Nine Hang on nine hang on.

Andrew (01:38:09):
Before let me get my notes out so I can track all
this nine.
Nine, you say Equiam.

Fable (01:38:28):
I have a 16.

Andrew (01:38:29):
16?
19.
Ooh, 19.
All right, I'll just go withthe oh yeah, figure out their

(01:40:11):
hit points, all right.
So you've startled these threered brands and they jump up to
attack Zanros you kind of push?
Iquium out of the way, becauseyou're itching for a fight,
because this is your property.

Yep.

Andrew (01:40:35):
So you go first.
Okay, there are three of them.
It's a very small room, sothere's three of them there,
kind of bunched together in thislittle area, so you can attack
Redbrand number one, two orthree.

All right, can I say something to them first?

Andrew (01:40:55):
Sure.

Hello, my name is Zanros Bumblebumble.
My family owns this house, soI'm going to give you an
opportunity, before I unleashhell on you, to get the hell out
.

Andrew (01:41:15):
Roll for intimidation.

This never goes well.
I have a minus one, 16.
Nice, I have a minus one, 16Nice.

Andrew (01:41:35):
Why can't I find it Well ?

Speaker 5 (01:41:46):
there you are 16, you say yes.

Andrew (01:42:00):
They all kind of look at each other.
They look at the three of you,they kind of look back at each
other and all three of them makea run for it, yeah, and haul

(01:42:24):
ass up the stairs, this up thestairs and and out the door wow
I never even got an opportunityto ask if they wanted a job um,
if they're running, do we get anopportunity to attack?

James (01:42:38):
you're still going after them.

Andrew (01:42:42):
If you would like to, yes, as a matter fact, you would
get an attack of opportunity.

James (01:42:48):
They yeah.
Absolutely Because if they'regoing to run off, they got to
come through us, through thedoor, and my thought is, if they
go and tell somebody else, theygo upstairs and out.

Andrew (01:43:03):
They're going out the way you came in.

James (01:43:07):
Okay.

Andrew (01:43:10):
So they are attempting to pass you.
So, as you are standing there,you're all kind of in between
the barrels and the cistern.
Xanros is one spot in into theroom.

(01:43:31):
So, equium, you and Dal are inthis spot between the cistern
and the barrels.
So you Well, first let's dothis give me a because they are

(01:43:54):
trying to escape.
So both of you give me adexterity saving, throw 17, okay
and my other question.

James (01:44:06):
I have another question because I keep on forgetting to
ask 17.
Okay, and my other question.
I have another question becauseI keep on forgetting to ask
this question, since we keep inthe door.

Andrew (01:44:13):
Okay, callie, you haven't said anything about
Callie, so Is Callie with us?

James (01:44:21):
Can I have Callie?
Can Callie have fit through thedoor?

I don't believe so Can we have left Callie?

James (01:44:23):
outside.

Andrew (01:44:24):
Callie with us.
Can I have?
Can Callie have fit through thedoor to come down?
I don't believe so Can we have?

left Callie outside.

Andrew (01:44:27):
Callie could be outside, okay.
So as they try to run past you,they kind of push you out of
the way.
They almost knock you into thecistern, but you're both able to
keep yourself steady and notfall into the water.
So now you have the cistern,but you're both able to keep
yourself steady and not fallinto the water.
So now you have the.

(01:44:48):
All three of you have theopportunity, if you wish to do
an attack of opportunity againstone of the Actually, against
all three of them, since they'reall three running trying to run
past you.
So so, zanrow, since you'refirst, do you want to attack any
of them, since they're allthree running trying to run past
you?
So what?
So, suzanne, since you're first, do you want to attack any of

(01:45:08):
them?

No.

Andrew (01:45:09):
OK, dal, you were in the back, I think, yeah, so.
So, iquium, you'd be up next.
Do you want to attack any orall of them?

James (01:45:24):
Yeah, eldritch Blast oh my God.

Andrew (01:45:29):
So what is so?
Remind me Eldritch Blast.
What's the?
Is it?
Is it a ranged attack?
What's the Is a range, it has arange of 120 feet, its duration
is instantaneous.

James (01:45:44):
And on a hit it has a range of 120 feet, its duration
is instantaneous.

Andrew (01:45:54):
And on a hit the target takes 1d10 force damage.
Now remind me if you're doing aranged attack in melee range,
is it a disadvantage or what'sthe drawback of doing a ranged
spell attack at close range?

James (01:46:12):
It's because it's not a ranged weapon.
Okay, it's not a ranged weaponbecause it's a spell effect, got
it, but it has a range of.

Andrew (01:46:20):
Got it Okay.

James (01:46:21):
So I think the only disadvantage you run into if
somebody's prone and even thenI'm not even sure because it's
spell attack Got- it, okay?

Andrew (01:46:32):
Um, so you're going to attack each one of them as they
go by.
I can attack one of them.
I don't think I can attack allthree, okay.
So which one?
So one, two or three?
Which one would you like toattack?

James (01:46:44):
Um, let's see, call, okay , so which one?
So one, two or three, which onewould you like to attack?
Um, let's see, I'll do a d6 andwe'll see which one.

(01:47:32):
Okay, first one okay, andthat's a 20 to hit, that will
hit.

Andrew (01:47:33):
I get to roll a 12 or higher to avoid damage and it's
three points of damage.
Wait for Eldritch Blast, Ithought it was just an attack.

Speaker 5 (01:47:42):
It's just a hit.
I'm wrong.

Andrew (01:47:43):
Yeah, you hit, so should just be the 1d10.
I thought it was just an attack.
It's just a hit.
I'm wrong.
Yeah, you hit, so it shouldjust be the 1d10.
Three points of damage.
Three points of damage Yep, allright, so you hit the first one

(01:48:05):
.
So now that they're beingattacked, they are no longer
intimidated.
So number two is up.
And because you attacked one,so number two is right by Zanros
.
So number two is going toattack Zanros.

Fable (01:48:21):
Thanks, equium, my God, look what you've done.

James (01:48:28):
I forgot about the intimidation, damn it.
I just didn't want to telleverybody else.

Fable (01:48:34):
Well, you can't tell anyone if they're dead.
So what it's?

fair.

James (01:48:40):
That's fair.
So what was their initiative,though?
What's that?
Did they come?
Did they have better initiativethan us, is, I guess, my
question.

Andrew (01:48:54):
So Zanros was was first in initiative Passed up right
Because.
Zanros was letting them.

Zanros went first, I was going to let them go OK let
them go Let them go.

Andrew (01:49:07):
You got the attack of opportunity on one who actually
had the lowest initiative, butthe next in the initiative round
is number two, gotcha.
So that's where we're at.
So number two is attacking withan unnatural 20.

So I assume that hits yeah, so long.

Andrew (01:49:33):
An unnatural 20 doesn't hit, it does hit.
Okay, so that's going to beseven points of piercing damage.
I hate you.

Equium.

Fable (01:49:49):
What's that old nickname?

Dick we um.

Andrew (01:49:57):
Dow, you are up next.

Fable (01:50:03):
All right, was it one that was hit?
Yeah Right, you hit one First.
Alright, was it one that was?

James (01:50:08):
hit.
Yeah, right, you hit one.

Fable (01:50:09):
First one was hit okay can you do a wisdom save for me?

Speaker 5 (01:50:13):
I want to hit one that will be a three yay, you're
going to go after one that willbe a three Yay.

Fable (01:50:27):
You're going to go after one, yes, okay.

Andrew (01:50:35):
Oh, the rhombus.

Fable (01:50:37):
The rhombus.
Oh man, all right, he takesfour points of damage.

Andrew (01:50:42):
Four points, a nice hit.
So what did you hit him with?
Toll the dead, toll the deadand what type of damage is that?

Fable (01:50:55):
It is.
Why am I blanking on it?
The dead.

Andrew (01:50:58):
Necrotic, necrotic damage, necrotic damage.
So is it a touch spell, or whatis it?
Is it a ranged?

Fable (01:51:06):
It's ranged it, it a touch spell, or what is it?
Is it arranged?

Andrew (01:51:07):
It's ranged, it's a ranged spell.
So you, what is it?
What's the casting of it?
Remind me.

Fable (01:51:14):
You just point at a creature and then the bell rings
.

Andrew (01:51:18):
For whom?
Oh this?

Fable (01:51:19):
would be for whom the bell tolls Got it.

Andrew (01:51:20):
This would be for whom the bell tolls Got it.
So he definitely Redbrandnumber one, definitely feels
part of.
He hears this bell ringing andhe feels just it just pulling
some of his kind of life forceaway from him, weakening him as

(01:51:41):
he stands there, having justbeen hit by the Eldritch Blast
by Iquium.

Fable (01:51:49):
I go.

Andrew (01:51:51):
Oh, with the finger Nice , see, they can't see that, but
yes, your special finger there.
So now number three, redbrand,is going to come after Zanros as
well.

Oh, good Lord.

Andrew (01:52:02):
Because you're the first one there and that'll be a 22
to hit.

Yep.

Andrew (01:52:15):
And that'll be another 7 points of piercing damage.

I only have 5 left, so so you're down.
I'm down.
Okay, okay, so you're down, I'mdown Okay.

James (01:52:29):
You're down like you're down, unconscious.

Andrew (01:52:33):
Yeah, Alright so.

James (01:52:43):
Equium, you're up next Um I cast.
Arms of Hadar I invoke thepower of Hadar.

(01:53:05):
The dark hunger and tendrils ofdark energy erupt from me and
batter all the enemies within 10feet of me.
Yeesh Yikes Um each creature inthat area must make a strength
saving throw, and if they don'tmake it, they take 11 points of

(01:53:39):
damage.

Andrew (01:53:45):
And what do they have to beat on the saving throw?

James (01:53:49):
They have to do a strength saving throw.

Andrew (01:53:50):
Yeah.

James (01:53:51):
And they have to beat a 12.

Andrew (01:53:53):
They have to beat a 12.

James (01:53:55):
Now on a failed save.
The target takes 2d6 to productdamage and can't take reactions
until its next turn.
On a successful save, thecreature takes half damage but
suffers no other effect.

Andrew (01:54:08):
OK, those are some of the absolute worst roles I have
ever done.
All three of them fail.
They're all within ten feet.
So how much damage do they take?
They each take 11 points ofdamage.

(01:54:28):
How would you like to?
What happens to two out of thethree of them?
Because you're going tosuccessfully eradicate two of

(01:54:50):
the three red brands.

James (01:54:54):
One of the tendrils, each of the tendrils, on the two
that don't make it.
They pierce their bodies andgrab them and crush them and
throw them to the floor.

And he really enjoys murdering people.
I'm just saying.

Speaker 5 (01:55:17):
So, and the third one takes half damage.

James (01:55:22):
Yes, it takes half damage .
It takes half damage.

Andrew (01:55:25):
It takes full damage.
They all failed, oh, they allfailed, they all failed.
He just didn't die, he justdidn't die.

James (01:55:31):
So he can't take any reactions or anything for the
next turn.

Andrew (01:55:35):
However, he is going to take a reaction Because he has
soiled himself.

Fable (01:55:47):
Lovely.

Andrew (01:55:49):
And has rethought his life choices and is going to
quickly exit stage left or stageright.
He is going to exit stage rightand leave the premises.
So two are dead, one is gone.
Because, he didn't have muchleft.

James (01:56:15):
So he's going to save himself and I'm going to use the
potion of greater healing thatI have for Zanros.

Oh, thank you, I have a.

James (01:56:24):
Or unless you want to.

Andrew (01:56:28):
Well, Zanros is at zero, so you can do the one to
stabilize Spare the dying, sparethe dying.

Fable (01:56:37):
Yeah, I got that.
Captain, hold out your hand.

Andrew (01:56:48):
See, but nobody can see.
I wish everyone could see that,because that was really good.

Fable (01:56:51):
We can recreate it.

James (01:56:52):
Yes, we can take a picture of it.
Yes, okay, you can make aTikTok, oh yeah.

Andrew (01:56:59):
Hang on, hang on.
I got to get the camera.
We can prepare.

Fable (01:57:05):
We got to repeat what we said I gotta get the camera out
Jeez.

Andrew (01:57:15):
We can prepare we gotta repeat, but we can.
Yes, you want me to Ready, yes,excellent.

All right.

Andrew (01:57:25):
That's perfect.

Okay, all right, so what does that give me?

Fable (01:57:30):
You're just not about to die now.
I'm just not dead.

James (01:57:32):
Yeah, you don't have to do any saving death tips, got it
.

Andrew (01:57:37):
Now a healing potion would be.

Fable (01:57:39):
Do we waste the potion or do I just do a healing spell?

Andrew (01:57:43):
You can do a healing spell.

James (01:57:44):
You can do a healing spell.
You can do a healing spellbecause we can use the we.
It's probably, it's probably agood idea to use the healing
spell, only because I want tohold on to this and you've got,
you've got a potion of greaterhealing.

Andrew (01:57:55):
Yeah, which is what's the roll on that?

James (01:58:02):
4d4 plus 4d4.
Wait 4d4?

Andrew (01:58:05):
Oh damn, you're healed very well that 44 plus four four
.

Fable (01:58:08):
D four.
Oh damn, You're healed verywell.

Andrew (01:58:10):
Interesting you have a regular portion of.
Here is just one D four rightit points back.

Fable (01:58:14):
Oh, cool Cause, my max is 12.
There you go.
I gave you extra.
You can hop, skip and jump alittle bit.

James (01:58:23):
No, I think they're all one.

Andrew (01:58:32):
Uh, let's see then russ, you've got a, I got a.
What you've got?
A potion of healing I, I do.

Did you add it to your no because I, oh yeah, I
did actually.
Yes, I did.
Where I don't see it in your.
I put it in my.
It's in my inventory.
Do I have to move it to my?
I think I'd refresh.
I might have to refresh yourinventory.

Andrew (01:58:55):
Oh, okay, let me go up now.

Speaker 5 (01:59:10):
It's there.

James (01:59:10):
I did put it, had to put in.
Was the cape Got it?
Are you?
Did I have the wrong potion ofhealing?
Is that what you're saying?

Andrew (01:59:14):
That's all right, I was just.

James (01:59:18):
It's the one we got from the goblin hideout.

Fable (01:59:20):
Yeah, because.

Andrew (01:59:22):
You should just be a standard potion of healing, not
greater healing.
I potion of healing, notgreater healing.

Fable (01:59:27):
I think I took the greater healing one, didn't I?

Andrew (01:59:32):
the ones that you got.
The one that you just found wasjust a potion of healing, not a
potion of greater healing, soit's 2d4 plus 2 hit points.
I can't remember what the otherones were before, if they were
greater healing, or I think theones we found were standard
potion of healing.

Fable (01:59:49):
Like way before, were greater, because I have a
greater one.

Andrew (01:59:53):
Okay.

Fable (01:59:53):
And there's only two of them, but we're saying the one
we found now would be for Caffinand that's just a standard one.

Andrew (01:59:58):
That's just a standard potion of healing.
Yeah, so Did you change that?
Let me see if I wrote it in mynotes.
So when you go to inventory,yeah, manage inventory, yeah, do
a search for potion of healing.

I'd say Okay.

James (02:00:27):
Yeah, so the one we just found is a potion of healing
potion of healing but now areyou saying what's up?
I'm not answering.

Andrew (02:00:43):
I don't know who that is .
I think the previous ones maybeyou got were potion of greater
healing yeah, but the one thatyou just got was just a standard
potion of healing.

So it's a 2d4 plus 2?

Andrew (02:00:59):
2d4 plus 2.
Okay.

Fable (02:01:03):
Well, I gave you a healing.

Oh, you did the spell yeah.

Fable (02:01:06):
I did the spell, so you're good.

Andrew (02:01:07):
Yeah, so how many hit points did you get back?
13, 13.
Nice, excellent, it's actuallyhave 12.

It was a one day.

Fable (02:01:15):
Yeah, I wrote a seven.
Awesome, and it's plus sixSweet.

James (02:01:29):
Great, great, okay.
So, ooh, that was close.
So what you're saying is onceyou intimidate somebody, I
should just leave themintimidated yeah.

Andrew (02:01:36):
Lesson learned.

James (02:01:38):
Gotcha.

Andrew (02:01:44):
All right.

James (02:01:50):
So what would you like to do?
Rewind time and not do?

Andrew (02:01:53):
that Take a mulligan on that one, I don't know what are
we doing?
Search the room they were in.

Fable (02:02:10):
Okay, okay.

James (02:02:17):
Investigation then Eleven .
I found less than nothing NiceNatural.

Fable (02:02:25):
Nice Natural one.
Oh, got an 11, which isn'tgreat, but you know it's better
than that, okay.

Andrew (02:02:35):
So what you find in the room is just more of the same
kegs and barrels.
Nothing different there.
There are three dirty scarletcloaks hanging from the bunks,
similar to the ones that you'vegotten from the other red brands

(02:02:58):
.
So nothing fancy there, butthat's all you find in the room.

James (02:03:11):
Okay, what would?

Andrew (02:03:12):
you like to do next?

James (02:03:16):
I would like to do something proactive.
Yes, since we're moving intoanother area.
Yes, I'm going to use the staffof defense and touch it to
Zanros and cast mage armor.
And what does?

Andrew (02:03:38):
that do for Zanros.

James (02:03:40):
You touch a willing creature, assuming you're
willing, I'm willing.
You're not going to call meDiquium again.

I'm definitely at some point going to call you
Dick William, just don't be, aDick William.

Andrew (02:03:49):
Just don't be a Dick William, that's this.

Speaker 5 (02:03:50):
Stop trying to kill and murder everything, yeah like
seriously, dude.

Look what happened.
You decided you had to killthose guys that I was going to
let go and then I end up knockedout.

James (02:04:01):
I figured what's three less to deal with at a future
point.

Possibly one dead rock gnome.

Fable (02:04:10):
I'd never let you die.

James (02:04:12):
And here's the operative phrase for today but did you die
?
Head towards the light youtouch a willing creature who
isn't wearing armor.
Assuming because you're a monkey, you do not wear armor, correct
, okay?
Do you wear armor though?
Yeah?
Okay, can't help you out onthis one.

(02:04:34):
Your base becomes 13 plus yourdexterity modifier.
It lasts for eight hours andspell ends if you put on armor
or dispel the dismiss the spellas an action.
So for eight hours your AC is13 plus your dex modifier, which

(02:05:01):
I'm assuming is rather goodbecause what's your dex modifier
?

My dex modifier, which I'm assuming is rather
good, because what's your dexmodifier?
My dex modifier is six plus sixNice.

James (02:05:09):
Nineteen.

Andrew (02:05:09):
Your AC is nineteen now, congratulations.
And how long does that?
Last Eight hours.

James (02:05:15):
Eight hours Eight hours.

Andrew (02:05:17):
Oh, my God yeah.

Wow, I'm invincible.

Speaker 5 (02:05:21):
Wow, right oncible.

Andrew (02:05:26):
Wow, right on.

James (02:05:28):
And and.

I will also, but wait , there's more.

James (02:05:32):
Wait, there's more Tell us, Billy Mays.
That's one charge, but here wego the second one up.
I'm going to use one of myinvocations and touch myself and
cast Mage Armor on myself.

Andrew (02:05:44):
You're touching yourself right here in front of
everybody.

Yes, just pay shipping and handling.

James (02:05:49):
That's right.
And in fact, I cast Mage Armoron my house and, because I
wanted to be different, Itouched myself with my left hand
.

Andrew (02:06:01):
Excellent.

I don't want anybody else.
When I want Mage Armor, I touchmyself Nice.

James (02:06:11):
And you know what, if I was a bard with Mage Armor, I
would do that every single time.

Speaker 5 (02:06:15):
Right, oh my God, yes , that would be it.

Andrew (02:06:17):
Oh my God, yes, love it.
Excellent, all right.
So we're all healed up.

James (02:06:24):
We got some major armor over here.
Ready to go?
Let's go.

Andrew (02:06:29):
Let's go.
What do we got?
Where are we going?

James (02:06:34):
Where are you going?
We're going to that door in thenorth.
I think is the only other wayout, right?

Speaker 5 (02:06:41):
The king in the north King in the north King in the
north.

James (02:06:45):
I've hit the layer limit you hit the layer limit again
it's all downhill from herealright, so you want to go
through that door under thestaircase under the staircase,
but it goes as we're I'm justassuming, because this is not if
we're looking at this and we'reI'm just assuming, cause this

(02:07:05):
is not if we're looking at thisand we're we've come in.
I'll say wherever we are yes.
The stairs are on either sideof this door.

Andrew (02:07:18):
Yeah, so so what happened?
So so imagine you were you.
You came in the front door.
You're standing on that landingYep, you immediately go down
one flight of stairs.
Yep, you turn, there's kind ofa 15-foot landing.
You walk down these 15 feet, godown the next set of stairs
Okay, to the floor of the cellar, gotcha.

(02:07:41):
And so you've got stairs to theleft of you stairs to the right
and in between clowns to theleft of you, jokers to the right
, here you are, a door in themiddle, yes.

Let's go.

Andrew (02:07:54):
Okay, everybody up for that.
Do you want to do anything else?
No, I think we're good.

Fable (02:08:00):
Okay.

Andrew (02:08:03):
So you're going to go through the door into a hall.
Thick dust covers theflagstones of this somber
hallway.
The walls are decorated withfaux columns every 10 feet.

Faux columns.

Andrew (02:08:26):
Real marble columns.
Real marble columns, philCollins.

Phil Collins.
I feel like this place isreally tacky.

James (02:08:34):
There's something in the air tonight.

Andrew (02:08:36):
There's definitely something in the air tonight,
absolutely At the west end.
There are double doors at thewest end of the hall sheathed in
copper plate, now green withage.

Behind which we find some west end girls.

Fable (02:08:55):
West egg.

West end girls.
Yes, exactly, west End girls.

Andrew (02:09:05):
Yes, exactly A relief carving of a mournful angel
adorns the door.

Oh crap, Is it a weeping angel?
Don't blink.
Don't blink Exactly.

Andrew (02:09:17):
Thank you.

Thank you, doctor who reference.

Fable (02:09:22):
No, I know, I know that one.

Okay, I'm not that bad.

Andrew (02:09:26):
Now Remember, you've got Theo Pimble.
Oh god, still with you, yeahthis guy.

He's been useless so far, so Well, theo is.

Andrew (02:09:36):
Theo is going to be very helpful at the moment.
Oh, because he says Be verycareful Walking across this
floor.

Fable (02:09:46):
Oh, great Okay.

Andrew (02:09:47):
Why Do?

Fable (02:09:48):
you want to go first?

Andrew (02:09:51):
There are traps in this area.
Be careful what kind of traps.

What can you tell me about these traps, Theo Buddy,
pal pal friend of mine it's justthere are.

Andrew (02:10:16):
They have put multiple traps in these underground areas
to to keep people from findingcertain things.

From finding certain things in my freaking house.

James (02:10:34):
Like what certain things Theo, Like the traps themselves
or Like the hostages.

Andrew (02:10:42):
What's beyond the doors?

Would one of those things be?

Andrew (02:10:49):
the.

Guardian, maybe a bugbear.

Andrew (02:10:56):
Could be.

Theo, we're going to send you through first.

Andrew (02:11:00):
if you don't help us out here, bud you through first, if
you don't help us out here, bud, uh listen, I don't, I don't.
They don't allow all of us intoall the different parts of here
.
I there's gotta be talk though.

(02:11:25):
Oh sure there.
Persuasion check, or do youwant to do persuasion or
intimidation?
How do you, how do you want toapproach Theo?

I've got a plus one on persuasion and a minus one on
intimidation.

Andrew (02:11:41):
Okay.

So let's go.
Persuasion.

Andrew (02:11:43):
You're going to be persuasive.

Nine I'm not going going to be persuasive.
Nine, I'm not going to be thatpersuasive.

Andrew (02:11:49):
He goes.
I hear things I know.
I've been in this hall beforeand I've heard voices, Voices
beyond those doors that are notother red brands, but I don't
know who or what it is.

Do they sound human?

Andrew (02:12:11):
They speak common, like me, so that's what I hear.

How do we want to do this?
I mean, we clearly got to goacross it.

Andrew (02:12:28):
This hallway is about 40 feet long and 10 feet wide, so
when you come into it there'sabout 5 feet behind you, so
there's about 30 feet in frontof you, and those two doors, the
double doors doors, doublecopper doors would detect magic.

Fable (02:12:48):
Do me any good in this situation?

Andrew (02:12:55):
I don't know, I can't tell you that you could.
I could tell you, but I won't.
Um is it?
Does that require a spell slot?

yeah, don't use it.
I was gonna say, if the redbrands are the ones setting the
traps, then I suspect thatthey're not going to be magical.
They're going to be like trapsthat a stupid human would be
able to lay.

Andrew (02:13:30):
But remember, Glass Staff is a wizard.

Fable (02:13:35):
Is there any rocks around here?
Can I throw a rock at thisfloor?

James (02:13:40):
You said it's covered in dust right.

Andrew (02:13:43):
The floor is covered in dust.

James (02:13:45):
right the floor is covered in dust.
The floor is locked.
Can I do a perception check andsee if it's your footprints or?

Speaker 5 (02:13:54):
anything Smart.

Andrew (02:14:02):
Yes, you can do that 15.

James (02:14:09):
Yes, you can do that.

Andrew (02:14:10):
Fifteen there are footprints in the dust Going in
both directions, but theycontinue from where you are
going all the way to the doorsand coming all the way back.

(02:14:30):
You don't?
There's nothing, Nothingunusual about them.

James (02:14:34):
Nothing unusual, it's just sort of a worn in the dust
kind of path.

Speaker 5 (02:14:38):
Yeah.

James (02:14:39):
Between this door and but it doesn't go in any other
direction.

Andrew (02:14:43):
No.

James (02:14:46):
No, as the French would say, fouquit.

Okay, wait.
So the hallway is about 40 feetlong.

Speaker 5 (02:14:54):
Yes.

Okay, what if I try to do some stealthy ninja shit?

Fable (02:15:07):
Okay cool.
Remember the horn slingshot.
Can we bring that back?

Oh my god, the horn slingshot.
Yeah, can Dal just fling me tothe other end of the hall.

Andrew (02:15:18):
You can try when I will neatly land.
Obviously, you can try.
What am I doing?
An acrobatics check.
I think it's acrobatics for you?

Fable (02:15:25):
Obviously, you can try.

What am I doing?
An acrobatics?

Fable (02:15:27):
check.
I think it's acrobatics for you.

James (02:15:29):
Strength for you.

Andrew (02:15:32):
So you need the strength to pull the.
Is it elastic?
What do you?

Fable (02:15:37):
I think I'm just going to chuck her.
You're just going to chuck her.

Okay well for acrobatics I rolled a 20.
Okay, that's good.

Andrew (02:15:47):
I need you to describe the chucking.

Fable (02:15:50):
Okay, so let me grab a pillow, no wait.

Yes.

Andrew (02:15:57):
Okay, that's Sanros okay , no wait, no, no, no no, no, so
you need to describe this, sopeople listening need to be able
to understand exactly whatyou're doing.
Mm-hmm, how are you chuckingZanros?

Fable (02:16:12):
Well, I don't know.

James (02:16:15):
And you, do have horns, so Well so Are you going to
decide.

So you're going to.

Andrew (02:16:20):
Football.
You're going to Shot put Like aspiral, shot put the end zone.

I mean, I feel like that's not the worst thing that
she could do.
Do you want?

Fable (02:16:34):
to be like, like, like, you're like this, and then I'm
like holding you, yeah, like I'mlike yeah, yeah, because here's
what I'm thinking.

Andrew (02:16:41):
Okay, what's what's?

I'm thinking, I think you're going gonna need both
hands.
Yes, so how heavy are you?
I am 35 pounds.
Oh okay, yeah, that's theweight am I features and trails
where's my weight descriptionprobably?

(02:17:04):
Thank you.
Oh wait, 29 pounds.
Oh okay, I'm teensy, so I'mgonna say you're gonna hold me
with both hands yeah over oneshoulder uh-huh yeah I'm going
to

Fable (02:17:17):
be like hands first, hands first on my stomach, kind
of like you're shooting me outof a cannon.
Yes.
Superman, and then you aregoing to pull back and then just
fling me as far as you can.

Yeah, I'm liking that , and then I'm going to triple
flip.
I think yeah, because I rolleda 20 on acrobatics.

Andrew (02:17:39):
Yeah, you nailed that, and land perfectly on my feet.
You nailed the acrobatics, soit's just a matter of how far
Dal can throw me.
So strength check.

Here we go, here we go Well actually no Well this
should be.

Andrew (02:17:52):
Well, I mean, would it be?
I guess it would be a strengthcheck for you.

Fable (02:17:55):
Why?
What else were you?

thinking Could be Well.
Athletics is a strength checkessentially.

Fable (02:18:01):
Yeah, is a strength check essentially.

Yeah, I don't know what else it could be, make it
an athletics check.

Fable (02:18:07):
I mean it's the same either way.

Andrew (02:18:09):
That's fine.

Fable (02:18:10):
Okay.

I don't think this is going well, oh no, how bad.

Andrew (02:18:24):
Two, oh my god.
So what happens is this yourclothes get caught.
No, no, no, no, no.
So Dal attempts to hurl Xanrosdown the hall.

(02:18:44):
However, Dao doesn't reallytake into account how low the
ceilings are.
Oh, no, so Zanros kind of hitsthe ceiling and then bounces and
rolls beautifully.

Fable (02:19:04):
Beautifully.

Andrew (02:19:04):
Beautifully, athletically, rolls and just
somersaults all the way down tothe end of the hall, stopping
right in front of the doors.

Fable (02:19:14):
Oh, okay, that worked out in the end.

Andrew (02:19:17):
Excellent and all is well, all right.

Oopsies Okay, yes.

James (02:19:27):
I would like to roll the.

Fable (02:19:33):
Would you also like to be thrown?

James (02:19:35):
No, in fact no, but I would like to roll a perception
check to see how much I enjoyedit.
Okay, or would that be aperformance check?
Or would they have to roll aperception check to see how much
I enjoyed?
It Okay or would that be aperformance check or would they
have to roll a performance?
They would have to roll aperformance check 16,.
I will say I'm there clappingAbsolutely, thank you.

Thank you, I'm sorry.
Thank you.

Andrew (02:20:02):
Execution poor but on Dal's part.
But the follow-up was amazing.
Zanros recovered beautifullyafter hitting the ceiling,
falling on the floor and justtucking into a little somersault
and just rolling like a bowlingball down the alley right

(02:20:23):
toward the doors.

Fable (02:20:24):
It was amazing nice absolutely amazing my bad bubble
bumble all good.

Okay, I'm at the end of the hall, do you?
Want me to go through the door,because shouldn't we know if
it's worth going through thedoor?

Fable (02:20:43):

Yeah, I'm going to say yes tothat.

Andrew (02:20:50):
What's this?
I want to open the door.
You want to open the door.

I want to open the door because I want to know
what's in the room before I tryto make them come all the way
down a hallway that might becompletely booby trapped.
Yeah also, it'll give me alonger runway for when I need to
um like somersault cartwheelquadruple.
Flip my way back to the otherend of the hall to meet my

Andrew (02:22:16):
The name Tresendar is familiar to you.
You can't recall why, but youknow the name does evoke some

(02:22:36):
sort of feeling inside of you.
You're like I know that name,I've heard that name before.
Are those the?

And six skeletons Ah shit, in rusty mail are propped
against the walls as if guardingthis place.
Guys, I think there's someliving skeletons False columns

the hall.
I don't really care about TheoPimble at this point.
Let him run if he really wantsto, or we, or do we tie him up

Like I was like this is notwhat I signed up for, Sorry bud.

James (02:24:49):
We can pretty much tell they're faux columns, right, I
mean, that's the way they weredescribed to us.

Andrew (02:24:56):
so yes, they're not.

James (02:25:01):
They're not structural Columns.

All I can think of is like Indiana Jones in the
circus on a beach ball Asps verydangerous.

James (02:25:24):
You go first.
It's called a dog, indiana.
Your name is Henry Henry JonesJr.
Oh, what do I have to?

Andrew (02:25:40):
So you're checking for traps.
Yes, investigation that wouldbe investigation, right yeah All
right, I'm going to pick up theyes, the shattered obelisk D20.

Fable (02:26:00):
Should I also look for traps?
You tell me Sure.

Andrew (02:26:01):
Tell me what you're doing to look for traps.

Speaker 5 (02:26:04):
You tell me Sure.

Andrew (02:26:07):
Tell me what you're doing to look for traps.
So I'll tell you.
The room is about 20 feet.
So you're in the kind ofsoutheast corner of this long
rectangular room.
It's about 20 feet wide byabout 30 feet deep and again.
So, as you're walking in thesedouble doors, the wall, that

(02:26:33):
30-foot wall.
There's two sarcophagi overthere up against that wall, and
then to your right up againstthis wall, is the third one.
So there's two.

James (02:26:46):
Yes, Wait, I'm sorry.
Are we already in the room withXanros?

Andrew (02:26:49):
I thought you were checking for traps.

Yeah.

Andrew (02:26:52):
In the room.

No, they haven't gotten to the room yet.

James (02:26:54):
We haven't gotten to the room.

I'm at the room.

James (02:26:56):
Okay, you're in the room, but Xanros got thrown.
I'm still in the room.

Fable (02:27:05):
Sorry, no, no, no In the hall.
Okay, yeah, I rolled a 15.

Andrew (02:27:09):
I rolled a 14.
So are you standing where youare.

James (02:27:13):
Tell me what you're doing to look for.
I'm going towards the firstcolumn because if I can see that
it's a faux column, I go to theedge of the first column to see
if there's anything of note inthat area column to see if it
has anything.
If there's anything of note inthat area, the first faux column
that's should be.
If we, if we came in from thisside and the other doors are
this side, like this, I'mchecking the column that's

(02:27:35):
closest here.

Andrew (02:27:37):
So you, you look at the column.
It is a real, actual, authenticfaux column.

James (02:27:47):
Real, authentic.
A real actual authentic fauxcolumn.
Real authentic, faux column.

Real tomato ketchup patty, that's right.

Andrew (02:27:54):
It's real faux it's.

James (02:27:55):
American cheese.
It's like real cheese If it'snot real cheese it says Real
artificial cheese.
Real artificial cheese, it saysreal artificial cheese.
Or if it says real cheese food,real cheese food is the actual
food cheese.
That's right yeah.

Andrew (02:28:08):
So this is a real, artificial foe, real, genuine,
the genuine artificial column,the genuine artificial article.

James (02:28:17):
Okay, yes, sir.
So yeah, 15.
Do we see?
Do we just make out the factthat it's Okay, it's a column.

Andrew (02:28:26):
It's a faux column.

James (02:28:27):
Let's proceed down the room To the next set of faux
columns.

Andrew (02:28:33):
You two are going together.

Fable (02:28:37):
Should we?

James (02:28:37):
Yeah, what the hell.
Yeah, we got Theo Pimble withus too.

Andrew (02:28:41):
And Theo Pimble.

Fable (02:28:43):
So do me a favor, you know what, maybe I don't want to
do that.

Andrew (02:28:46):
Not too late, damn.
What is the weight of yourcharacter?

Fable (02:28:50):
I knew it, I knew it.
Oh my.

James (02:28:52):
God.
Oh, what is the weight?

Fable (02:28:57):
Probably weight in the thing, can Dal jump back?

Andrew (02:29:00):
Nope Dal, what is the weight of your character?
I don't think I ever Did youdetermine a weight for your
character?

James (02:29:11):
Yes, 6'4", 150 pounds.

Fable (02:29:14):
Soak and wet.
I think I put 171.

Andrew (02:29:26):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:29:28):
What.

Andrew (02:29:29):
So the two of you are walking along.
Just before you take your nextstep, you feel on the back of
your neck, a hand grab you.

Both of them.

Andrew (02:29:49):
Both of them.

Fable (02:29:50):
What about Theo Pimble?
Is it Theo Pimble?

Andrew (02:29:53):
It's Theo Pimble.
Ah, Theo Pimble grabs you andstops you from taking the next
step.
He says don't go any further.

The floor is lava.

Andrew (02:30:12):
The floor is not lava.
However, the floor is trapped.
He says I need you to jump.
You need to jump 10 feet toavoid the trap.
Acrobatics, Acrobatics.

James (02:30:34):
As long as it's not athletics, I'm okay.

Andrew (02:30:36):
I would say take your pick athletics or acrobatics,
However you'd like to.

Fable (02:30:40):
They're both the same.
Do you want to take?

Andrew (02:30:42):
a running start.
Yeah, jump over it.
You can do whatever you want.
Tell me how you're getting overthis trap.

James (02:30:50):
I jump, I roll a 13.

Andrew (02:30:59):
You jump the 10 feet, just making it to the end, to
the edge of the next piece offlagstone, without tripping the
trap, dal.

Fable (02:31:19):
I run, I jump and I roll a seven, oh boy.

Andrew (02:31:36):
Oh boy Ickley, this one's on you.

Fable (02:31:42):
Roll a strength check, oh my.

James (02:31:43):
God.
Breaking out the metal dieFifteen.
Breaking out the metal die 15.
Minus 3.
12.

Could be worse.

Andrew (02:32:02):
It is just enough.
Yay, you catch Dal by the hand,as Dal is about to fall back
into the trap.
I hate that feeling, I hatethat feeling, I hate that
feeling, nope nope, nope, andyou have just enough leverage
because you were moving, becauseyou both kind of jumped at the

(02:32:23):
same time.
So, your forward movement, yougrab Dal and we're able to bring
Dal onto the other side of thetrap with you, so you're both
successful in making it Yay andwhat about Theo Pibble?

James (02:32:47):
I give him a 50-50 shot.

Fable (02:32:48):
He's either going to join us or he's going to turn tail
and run, oh yeah.

James (02:32:55):
And because he stopped us from that, I do give him that
respect.

Andrew (02:32:59):
Theo successfully jumps over the trap and joins you.

Okay, alright, I shake his hand and go much
respect.
I'm leaning more toward actuallygiving you a job are we at the
doors?

Andrew (02:33:20):
you're still about.
Yeah, you're basically standingright in front of the doors now
so we will quietly enter theroom.

James (02:33:34):
Uh-huh, very quietly, yes , and I will say Can you turn

(02:33:55):
undead?
Can you turn undead?

Fable (02:34:01):
That's a good question.
Where the hell would I checkthat?
Oh?

James (02:34:07):
yes, I can, I'll be ready to turn undead.
There's sarcophagi in the room,or you said there's skeletons
in, too right?

Do we see any skeletons?
There's six skeletons.

Andrew (02:34:19):
There are three large stone sarcophagi and six
skeletons in rusty mail proppedup against the walls.

Fable (02:34:27):
This is what.

James (02:34:29):
I Okay.
Are they in various places ofthe channel?
I don't think so.
Do that?

(02:34:50):
No, we don't have to.
What else does the room?
Other exits in the room okay,so.

Andrew (02:35:01):
So again, you're kind of on the in the southeast corner
of this room that is 20 feet by30 feet, so it's 20 feet forward
to the wall and that's the wallthat has the two sarcophagi on
it.

James (02:35:17):
Okay.

Andrew (02:35:21):
The same wall, the other long wall of the room that had
the double doors on it.
So just to the right of thedouble doors is another
sarcophagus, the thirdsarcophagus in the room.

James (02:35:33):
Okay, so we're, we're in the door.
Sarcophagus here, yes,sarcophagus there.

Andrew (02:35:39):
Correct If you're looking to your right, like,
look until about like oneo'clock, so you're facing you're
facing the wall with the twosarcophagi, okay.
In that far right corner is adoor, okay, and there's a door
on the same wall you're on, okay, so you're in the bottom corner

(02:36:03):
of the room.
Up in the upper corner, on thatsame wall, is another door
Gotcha, okay, okay.

James (02:36:07):
So wall is another door Gotcha Okay.

Andrew (02:36:15):
So, oh, and by the way, that's one of the sarcophagi.

Oh my, oh my, the sarcophagi.

James (02:36:35):
oh my, oh my sarcophagi it makes noises it does so
here's my question to both ofyou are there skeletons
throughout the room or are theyone specific part of the room?

Andrew (02:37:06):
there's kind of like guarding each sarcophagus are
basically like two skeletons.

James (02:37:14):
Okay.

Andrew (02:37:14):
So the sarcophagus is lengthwise up against the wall
and there's a skeleton to eitherside of each sarcophagus.

James (02:37:24):
I asked Theo Pimble if he's ever been in this room.

Andrew (02:37:30):
I normally don't dare going in this room by myself.

James (02:37:34):
I'm sorry, but you've been in the room.

Andrew (02:37:40):
I have been through this room, but only for a brief
moment.
I don't spend any time in thisroom.

James (02:37:56):
Okay, brief moment.
I don't spend any time in thisroom.
Okay, which door do we venturethrough?
Door number one, two, threehere, just the way it sounds.
Just the way it sounds is thatif there's a skeleton, if there
are two skeletons guarding eachsarcophagi and we leave the
sarcophagi alone and go throughthe room and they don't touch us

(02:38:17):
theoretically.

There could be some good stuff in the sarcophagi,
though, Like I'm just thinkingabout when Joe went through
everything and ended up withlike a million special powers.

Fable (02:38:37):
I want a million special powers.

He smelled and looked really bad at the end of it,
though, yeah, it was like thismakes you do this, but also now
you smell like death and likethis lets you do this, but also
now like your skin looks likeit's rotting off your face.

Fable (02:38:52):
Want me to grab her?

James (02:38:54):
You have all the powers of the mummy, mm-hmm.

Andrew (02:38:59):
She's fine Okay.

James (02:39:01):
I love the fact that somebody recently asked, like
what happens when the mummytouches you?
Nobody had an answer Kills yousteals your life force.

Andrew (02:39:14):
So what would you like to do?
Discuss amongst yourselves.

I mean, can we murder these skeletons before they
come to life?

James (02:39:34):
Well, if Dal can turn you dead, you can turn them away,
but it only lasts for so long.

Got it.

James (02:39:42):
Yeah, and you don't attack them if you turn them
like.

Right.

James (02:39:47):
Kind of the lesson I should have learned when you
intimidated somebody, I shouldnot attack them.
Same applies.

Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:40:01):
I don't know.

Yeah, I feel like we should investigate the
sarcophagi, but I know we'regoing to wake up the skeletons.
If we do, sorry, let me trythat again without the yaw.

Andrew (02:40:19):
One more time.

I think we should look in the sarcophagi, but I
know that the skeletons aregonna attack us if we do.
One more time one more time.

James (02:40:31):
Okay.
So the other thing, the otherthing I'm thinking is what if
the sarcophagi are not actuallytrue sarcophagi?
That's the only thing that'sholding me back from saying
let's just get through the roomand not what if they're
sarcophagirls?

Speaker 5 (02:40:47):
nice wow you really buried me with that joke.
Oh, oh.

Andrew (02:40:55):
Dad jokes galore.

Fable (02:40:58):
I could see that written on the wall of the freaking
monster golf from yesterday,macy's, we could just put them
all in a mausoleum?

James (02:41:12):
Yeah, my only thought is what if the sarcophagi is to get
to somewhere else within thething?
But there's two doors here, sowe could check out what's in the
doors and lee see if theskeletons well with the new
Lightbringer mace it can deal anextra 1d6 radiant damage to

(02:41:37):
undeads.

Fable (02:41:41):
Hmm.

James (02:41:47):
Problem is you have.
I say we look through the otherdoors first.
Maybe there's more storeroom ormaybe it's somewhere else.
That's just my thought, butI'll deal with whatever.

I'm fine with doing that.
I'm okay with opening.
We can circle back.

James (02:42:03):
Open.

Andrew (02:42:07):
So what are you doing?

James (02:42:10):
Okay, my thought is this.
You said there's on this wallthat you come through the two
doors.
There's one sarcophagi on thatwall.

Right.

James (02:42:19):
And then there's a door Just beyond that sarcophagus yes
, Now, because that door is onthe same wall as this.
My thought is check that doorfirst.

Andrew (02:42:29):
Is that what everyone's good with that?
We're good with that so you'regoing to open that door.

James (02:42:34):
Open that door, yeah.

Andrew (02:42:36):
As the door begins to open slowly, you hear the
movement of metal and all of therusty mail that the six
skeletons are wearing startsmoving and they come to life and

(02:43:03):
start to move toward you.
Okay, roll for initiative.

James (02:43:10):
If I close the door real quick.

Speaker 5 (02:43:13):
Never mind.

Andrew (02:43:15):
They go back to their.
No, I'm just kidding, Too late.
Four for initiative Hang on,hang on.
I gotta get my notebook outagain and keep track of all this
Dirty 20.
Oh, hello, hello, there's mypencil.

(02:43:35):

Alright, hang on, yadda yaddayadda.

(02:44:17):
Doo doo, doo, doo doo.
What's your dexterity Equium?

James (02:44:32):
Twelve Okay, I think we have 12.
Okay.

Andrew (02:44:38):
Or you want me to roll a dexterity?
No, no, no, no, no, oh good,yada, yada, yada, yada, oop, so

So many, goodness gracious, somany initiatives.
Zanros, you, what is yourdexterity?

(02:45:39):
1818?
Ok, and then I see what's there, Just giving them all the same
it points.
I'm not going to roll for theirhit points.
Make this easy.
Okay, so the skeletons aregoing to.
The one skeleton is going toattack first.

(02:46:01):
They also rolled a 20.
I think it's the dexterity.

Whoever's got the higher dexterity yeah.

Andrew (02:46:11):
So they're going to.
They're right next to Equium,but they are going to attack
Dahl.

Fable (02:46:30):
Sorry, dahl, I do.

Andrew (02:46:39):
Does an 18 hit.

Fable (02:46:42):
If my armor class is 18, does it hit?

Andrew (02:46:44):
Yes.

Fable (02:46:44):
Okay, then yeah.

Andrew (02:46:46):
All right, damn, and that is going to be five points
of piercing damage.
All right, equium, you are upnext.

(02:47:11):
Yeah, let me just put this inUm, I'm going to cast Eldritch

(02:47:41):
Blast Against which skeleton yougot one through six.

James (02:47:47):
to pick from what's the closest one to me.
We'll say one.
I rolled one.
I was going to roll one throughsix to see if that would work
Perfect.

Andrew (02:48:01):
So 20 to hit.

James (02:48:03):
That's definitely going to hit and, by the way, I'm
liking that it's working.

Andrew (02:48:07):
Good.

James (02:48:08):
What's up?
Oh, it's working.
Good.
What's up?
That's eight points of damage.

Andrew (02:48:19):
Eight.
Oh my God.
So you, you nail this, likethis skeleton, you basically the
.
You basically kind of blow offhalf its chest and one arm, its
left arm.
So half of its upper body andhead basically at this point is

(02:48:44):
gone.
It just cleared off.
So it's still got two legs andit's one arm with a sword and
that's about all that it's gotgoing for it.
You did some significant damageto this one.
I want everybody to roll.

(02:49:09):
So the next skeleton is goingto come after Zanrose, but
before it tax Zanrose, I wanteverybody to roll.
A perception check.
Eight.

Speaker 5 (02:49:32):
Also eight eight also eight what was yours?

Fable (02:49:38):
six.
I have a plus five.

Andrew (02:49:40):
I rolled on one yikes you notice, as these skeletons
are beginning to attack, younotice something is different

(02:50:02):
about the way they're attacking.
I'll have you roll anotherperception, check in two after
two more skeletons, mm-hmm, butyou notice something is up.
Okay, with how the skeletonsare attacking you.
All right, let's see what yourXanros.

(02:50:23):
You've got a 19 now, right?

Yeah.

Andrew (02:50:31):
That's going gonna miss.
So the skeleton comes after you.
One of the skeletons comesafter you and does not Takes a
swing at you, but completelymisses.

I leap backwards as he swings at me.

Andrew (02:50:48):
And as you leap backwards, another one comes
after you With a nat 20.

Dick, damn it.

Andrew (02:51:04):
So that's going to be 11 points of piercing damage.
Oh, 11 points of piercingdamage.

James (02:51:16):
Oh oh, you did add to your AC right.

Yeah.

James (02:51:22):
Okay.

Yeah, but he had a 20 .
Not 20.

James (02:51:24):
Oh, you had a, not 20.
Yeah, that's a lot of good.
Yeah, sorry, sorry.

Andrew (02:51:28):
I'm sure you are.
I really am good things.
Yeah, sorry, sorry, I'm sureyou are, I really am.
Oh God, okay, zanros, yeah, youare up.

Okay, so I'm assuming that the one who just came at
me is within five feet of me?
Absolutely, I am attacking himwith my quarterstaff Right on.
Okay, with my quarterstaffRight on.
Ok, so that is a 16.

Andrew (02:52:03):
A 16 will hit.

Excellent, all right, my quarterstaff is 1d6 plus 4.
No.

Andrew (02:52:29):
Oh, she's stuck Ten, ten points of damage yeah and can I
take a bonus action sure?

flurry of blows okay ah a 2, not gonna hit, ah a two.

Andrew (02:52:56):
Not going to hit Two will not.

No.
Will not hit.

Andrew (02:52:59):
But don't you get two.

On Flurry of Blues.
Let me see.

Andrew (02:53:09):
Isn't it two extra hits?
I thought Flurry of Blues wastwo additional.
It says one bonus action.
Well, it's one bonus action,but hang on, floria Blows,
starting second level, you'retraining.
Spend a key point when youspend a key point oh yeah, to
make two unarmed strikes yeah,so you have another unarmed

(02:53:31):
strike.

Okay, and it's a dexterity.
I should be using my dexmodifier, right?
I?

Andrew (02:53:37):
still don't think it would have hit.
You have a plus six to whateveryou roll yeah.

So How'd you?
Get a two, then I really had aneight.
I didn't realize I had the plussix, but it's still not going
to hit, is it A?
I didn't realize I had the plussix, but it's still not going
to hit, is it?
A 14 would have hit, no, aneight.
I rolled a two.
Oh, you rolled a two.
No, it wouldn't have hit.
Okay, let's see what I got Aseven, I rolled a one.

(02:54:03):
All right.
You're cocky.
What I got cocky.

Andrew (02:54:08):
What.

I rolled a seven.
Well, I rolled a 1, it's a 6,it's a 7, it's not gonna hit.

Andrew (02:54:14):
So so you missed that guy.

I missed that guy with my bonus action, yes, and
then I got a so who is soeverybody?

Andrew (02:54:28):
now roll me another perception check.

Fable (02:54:35):
Oh, that's better 20.

10.
9.

Andrew (02:54:44):
Dal, you're watching the action and you're noticing that
, of these six skeletons, noneof them are coming after Iquium
no.

James (02:54:58):
Because I'm a magic user.

They're scared of you .

James (02:55:02):
Or something like that.
I'm a magic user, I'm a cleric,no, but we were told he was a
master of the arcane.
Oh, we're told he was a masterof the arcane.

Andrew (02:55:10):
Oh, there's something about Mary.
There's something about Mary.

James (02:55:28):
There's something about Iquium that.

Hair gel, hair gel yeah, that's what it is my
organic hair gel.

Andrew (02:55:36):
Arcane hair gel.
Hair gel yeah, that's what itis my organic hair gel arcane
hair gel okay so we did thebilly mays reference earlier.

buy one container of arcane hair gel, get one free
when you pay shipping andhandling Shipping and handling
only.

James (02:55:51):
Okay, so my next little graphic project will be, in fact
, the tub of OxyClean, only it'sgoing to be Arcane Hair Gel.

That's amazing, we never put Greska's Fresca up,
did we?

Andrew (02:56:06):
No, we haven't yet.
Yeah, we need to do that.
Okay, so again.
So there's something aboutIquium that the skeletons are
not attacking him.

Speaker 5 (02:56:17):
I have an idea.

James (02:56:22):
Can I yell just in the?
If I have to wait my turn,that's fine, but I want to yell
stop.

Andrew (02:56:28):
Well, you don't realize this, Only Dal realizes this.
Oh, oh oh.

James (02:56:33):
It's Dal's perception.

Andrew (02:56:34):
So Dal is the only one that notices.
Okay, so, dal, if, before younotice something, dal will have
to tell you that Gotcha.

Speaker 5 (02:56:43):
So only right now, Dal, I'm just everybody, yeah,
yeah, yeah.

Andrew (02:56:46):
Unbeknownst to you, but known to to Dal is the fact that
the skeletons are not attackingyou.
Okay.

I am invincible.
Oh, no, no no, oh, mother oh.

James (02:57:02):
We were making such progress.

Andrew (02:57:04):
So, coming after Dal, now is another skeleton, and
oops, oh, so much Dal.
Now is another skeleton andOops.

James (02:57:16):
So much for me feeling really lucky right now.
Well, I still feel lucky, butat the same time, Dal does a 17
hit.

Andrew (02:57:27):
No, no, so that skeleton comes after you Now.
The next one comes after Zanros.

Fable (02:57:35):
Can I yell out?
Can I yell and is going to missentirely.

Andrew (02:57:40):
Thank God, because I have one hit point left.

Fable (02:57:42):
When it's your turn.
Okay.

Andrew (02:57:46):
Dal, it's your turn.

Fable (02:57:49):
Can I yell and do something, or can I only yell?

Andrew (02:57:52):
No, you can yell and take an action.

Fable (02:57:54):
Okay, so I'm going to try to use that like face thing.

Andrew (02:58:00):
Yes, the light bringer.

Fable (02:58:04):
Mm-hmm.

Andrew (02:58:05):
Okay.

Fable (02:58:09):
I rolled a 22.
Does a 22 hit on the gosh?
I forget how many are.

Andrew (02:58:16):
There's six of them.

Fable (02:58:18):
I'll go for the sixth one , okay.

Andrew (02:58:22):
That'll hit.

Love this music.
I was just thinking the samething.
Yeah, music's great.

Fable (02:58:35):
That is seven radiant damage.

Andrew (02:58:38):
Oh nice.

Fable (02:58:40):
I'm going to yell out Iquium.
Why the hell are they ignoringyou?

James (02:58:49):
I wonder Is it my turn?

Speaker 5 (02:58:56):
I just yelled that out.
I attacked and you yelled thatout.

Andrew (02:59:00):
Iquium, now that you've heard this roll, a perception
check.
No, actually I'm trying to sayno, hang on that.
Perception, no role.

(02:59:27):
Perception 15.
No roll perception 15.
Iquium.

Fable (02:59:39):
Just confirm for me you're still wearing the red
brand.

Andrew (02:59:41):
Oh my god, cloak, are you not?
Yes, I am you, ponder toyourself, remembering?
You remember that you'rewearing A red brand cloak?
It's not your turn, xanros.

(03:00:14):
Another one is coming after youand we'll definitely hit and
we'll deal Five points ofpiercing damage.

And I'm down again.

Speaker 5 (03:00:40):
Okay, um.

Andrew (03:00:47):
So Dall, another one's gonna come after you, since
you're the only one that it canattack.
Okay, that's going to miss.

James (03:01:05):
Equium, you're up.
I yell for the skeletons tostop, and then I yell their
blast.

Fable (03:01:13):
I feel like maybe don't do Eldritch Blast, because then
they're going to be like why thehell is my comrade Trying to?

Andrew (03:01:21):
kill me.
Roll a persuasion check.

Speaker 5 (03:01:26):
Just saying 16 16.
All the skeletons ceasemovement yay um, and they all,
they all kind of, except for theone that doesn't have a head.

Andrew (03:01:51):
They all kind of.
They all kind of except for theone that doesn't have a head.
They all kind of turn in yourgeneral direction.
The other one turns to theother side, noticing that you
have talked to them.

James (03:02:04):
Okay.

Andrew (03:02:08):

Fable (03:02:11):
These are our friends.

James (03:02:15):
Yeah, I don't think it's going to go that far we need to
stash them someplace or makethem oh.

Andrew (03:02:25):
I think I know where your mind's going.
Like I saw the light bulbs turnon and I'm like I think I know
what he's thinking.

Fable (03:02:31):
I think I'm also.
Well, I saw the lightbulb turnon and I'm like I think I know
what he's thinking.
I think.

James (03:02:33):
I'm also Well.
I have two ideas.
One idea put him in thesarcophagus.
Second idea is to send him outthe other door and throw him in
a pit, and that's really where Iwant to go with that.

Fable (03:02:46):
I like the pit idea.

James (03:02:48):
I tell them to march out the door To find the other
intruders.
Find the other intruders, goout that door.

Andrew (03:03:01):
So they all turn and go out that door, they go down the
hall and nothing happens.

James (03:03:17):
Nothing happens, Like they don't fall in the pit.
Oh, because you asked us howmuch we weighed.
Okay, close the doors.

Andrew (03:03:34):
Okay.

James (03:03:37):
Is there any way to bar the door from the inside?

Speaker 5 (03:03:39):
No, well, I mean.
I mean, do they open in or?

Andrew (03:03:43):
do they open out, they open into, into the room?
I mean there's.

James (03:03:51):
Do they open in or do they open out?

Andrew (03:03:53):
They open into, into the room, into the room.
Okay, I was just going to say.

You do have an unconscious rock gnome that you
could.

Andrew (03:04:01):
No, I was going to say there is a lid of a sarcophagus.

James (03:04:05):
That's what I was thinking.
You could put it in front ofthe door.
If I could put that in front ofthe door, that's perfect, but
that means you have to open upthe sarcophagus Right right?
Okay, here's what we're goingto do, kira Zanros we take the
lid off the sarcophagus and putit in front of the door.

Andrew (03:04:19):
Now hang on.
Before you open, I want to tellyou about the sarcophagi.

James (03:04:23):
Okay.

Andrew (03:04:24):
Well, you're going to heal again.

Why no sarcophagal?

Andrew (03:04:29):
Heal again.
Why no sarcophagal?
Reach out, reach out and touchsomeone.

James (03:04:35):
Ouch Ford home.

Andrew (03:04:39):
The stone lid called Dal .

How many points do I get?
What happens now, dal Dal, youhealed me, so how many?

Andrew (03:04:50):
Well, you were like unconscious, right you just just
conscious to me stabilized herdoes that give me like a point?
You're at zero.
I think at that point, or oneyou're at one hit point yeah so
the stone lid of eachsarcophagus is carved to depict

(03:05:14):
the person entombed within Twohuman men and one human woman,
all dressed like nobles.

Ooh, maybe they're the Tresendars, hmm.

Speaker 5 (03:05:28):
Tresendars.

Hmm, can I roll a history check, because you said
this is like pinging somethingin the back of Zanros' head,
right, yes?

Andrew (03:05:45):
because you rolled a history check.

Right and I failed it .
Yes.

Andrew (03:05:49):
Yes.

Can I roll another one?
can I say something about this,I don't know.
Do you think those are thetrisenders?

Andrew (03:05:57):
they're dressed like my family, just you know taller so
you're trying to determine ifthese are the trisenders like,
who are the people in there?

yeah, are they the trisenders?

Andrew (03:06:10):
got so roll.
A history check for that 19.
You can confirm that they arethe Tresenders?
Hmm.

Guys, I think I'm pretty sure those are the
Trescendors.
They were another noble family.
I don't really remember how myfamily came to own this place,
whether we bought it orinherited it, but they're
definitely nobles.

James (03:06:53):
So very likely we're in a family crypt.

Fable (03:06:56):
Yeah.

James (03:06:57):
Yeah, so Well, we've got to open one of them because we
need the lid.

Andrew (03:07:08):
Yep, that one, the one that I placed in between all of
you, is one of the twosarcophagi from the noblemen.
Okay, the nobleman'ssarcophagus.

(03:07:29):
In front of you there's thenoblewoman and another nobleman
as well.
Which one would you like to?

Fable (03:07:39):
This one.

Andrew (03:07:41):
So who would like to open that one in front of you?

James (03:07:49):
For the comedy.
I would try my strength checkto see if I could open it.

Andrew (03:07:55):
Roll for strength.
Give a strength check 14 minus3.

James (03:08:02):
11.

Andrew (03:08:06):
You can, you're pushing it.
You're not hurting yourself,but you're pushing it.
You're not hurting yourself,but you're pushing it and it, it
, it's not quite it's.
You can hear kind of stone onstone, yeah, but it's not quite
moving.
You might need, you might needa little assistance okay, shall
I jump in there then?
Yes please 12.

(03:08:36):
Between the two of you.

Fable (03:08:42):
Between the two of us.

Andrew (03:08:43):
Between the two of you.
It's going to start.
It's going to start moving.
So, dow, why don't you take thelid off of that sarcophagus?
Oh boy.

What do I got what's?

Fable (03:09:04):
up.

Andrew (03:09:08):
Would you like to do an arcana check?
Yes, please.
Someone do an arcana check.
Yes, please.
Someone do an arcana check.
Who has the?

Fable (03:09:15):
highest 19.
Oh well, there you go.

Andrew (03:09:18):
You immediately Equium recognize these as potions of
healing.

Speaker 5 (03:09:24):
Ooh, yay, huzzah.

James (03:09:29):
Cool, do you have all your points back?

No, I have one point.

James (03:09:33):
Yeah, you're going to need one of those.

Yeah, I have one in my inventory.
Well take another one.

James (03:09:40):
Yeah, and we'll each take one.

Fable (03:09:43):
Shake it Spark.

Andrew (03:09:45):
I know, yeah, they're liquid core potion bottles.

They're for us to keep right.

Andrew (03:09:50):
Yes.
So who else who has additionalpotion bottles other than're?
For us to keep right, yes.
So who else who has additionalpotion bottles other than these?

I have one.
I have one.

Andrew (03:09:58):
All right, so here, and you've got one as well, right,
so each of you, I've got extrasof these, so each of you take
another one for your otherpotion bottle.

Speaker 5 (03:10:06):
Give that one to James.

Andrew (03:10:09):
There we go.
So now you've got some potion,some D4 potion bottles.
That's awesome.
They're so cool.
I got these from another dicemaker, malevolent Dice, and I've
been following them on eitherInstagram or TikTok, I think

(03:10:30):
Instagram and I missed theirdrops.
They do these drops on amonthly basis, of all these
really cool liquid core likepotion bottles and things like
that, and I miss it every monthBecause it's like he announces
the time, or he or she, I don'tknow who it is.

(03:10:51):
They announce the time whenthey have the drop and I always
forget.
Yeah, and I finally this time.

Fable (03:10:58):
Whenever I do that, I set alarms.

Andrew (03:10:59):
Yeah, this time I finally remembered and I got a
set of the D4 potion bottles.
So I'm really psyched.
Yeah, super cute.

James (03:11:12):
Yeah, malevolent dice Another great dice maker out
there.
So when we were just looking atit before I realized they were
dice, I was thinking because ofthe cover on the sarcophagus, I
was like, oh my gosh, they'relike the Egyptian jars for the
dead.
It's not Coptic, and that'sfunny.
That's the same word that I wasthinking.
I think that's funny.
That's the same word that I wasthinking.

(03:11:33):
I think that's right.

So Malevolent.

James (03:11:36):
Dice they're like funerary jars.

Malevolent Dice is Chris from Southern California.

Fable (03:11:43):
Chris from Southern California, he seems.

Andrew (03:11:46):
Canopic Very nice Ooh.

Here's a picture of his little setup Canopic jars,
yeah, nice.

Andrew (03:12:00):
So yeah, so now you've got some potion bottle Excellent
D4s to play with as well.
So I told you I had all sortsof fun things, goodies, all
sorts of goodies for this week,so I was very excited, all right
.
So so you successfully priedoff the lid to the one
sarcophagus and put it in frontof you, and you, you've put it

(03:12:23):
in front, I assume you put it infront of the door to block that
from the, from the skeletonsexcellent.
What would you like to do withthe other two sarcophagi?

Fable (03:12:35):
We might as well.

James (03:12:37):
I mean we may as well look in them at least, since
there was no body in it, it'sjust the potion bottles All
other than the potion bottles.

Andrew (03:12:52):
In that one was, it's just bones and scraps of
clothing.
There's nothing else to speakof in that particular
sarcophagus, gotcha, but thereare the other two, so there's a
nobleman and a noblewoman thatare still unopened.
What would you like to do next?

Fable (03:13:17):
Noblewoman.

Andrew (03:13:18):
Yeah she's on the other, she's on the near wall.

James (03:13:23):
Yeah, let's go for it.

Fable (03:13:25):
Okay, Strength yeah.

Andrew (03:13:27):
Strength check.

James (03:13:32):
Eight minus three.
Eight.

Not 20.
Oh, thank God Boom.

James (03:13:41):
Tiny, it's a rock.
I move Plus one, so 21.

Yay.
Wow.

Andrew (03:13:48):
You nailed it so.

Zanroth's little jumping jack.
She's excited.

James (03:13:56):
It's phenomenal.

Andrew (03:13:57):
So when you?

James (03:13:58):
There's a line on the floor a minute ago, but now I'm
bench pressing sarcophagi,that's right.

Andrew (03:14:05):
So when you, when you push off the lid to this
sarcophagus, yeah.
You notice something shining ininside this sarcophagus?
Yeah, you notice somethingshining inside the sarcophagus.
Ooh, shiny.
Okay, do you want to take it,or?

I mean, can I investigate?

Andrew (03:14:22):
a little.
It's small, but you want to doan investigation check.
Yeah, okay, roll aninvestigation check.

Fable (03:14:28):
You're smarter than me.
I heard shiny.
I was like yes.

James (03:14:32):
Fable is a crumb, we're all just crumb An eight.

Andrew (03:14:38):
So you can't tell what it is.
It's small but clearly, clearlygolden.
Golden in appearance, but youcan't quite make out what it is.
I'm going to pick it up.

Fable (03:14:50):
Yeah, All right, an appearance but you can't quite
make out what it is I'm going topick it up.

Andrew (03:14:53):
Yeah, alright, what you pick up is a jeweled gold
bracelet.
Ooh, what can I sell this forWorth?
I'm so glad you asked.
Manufacturers suggested retailprice of 140 gold pieces Woo.

James (03:15:13):
I'm still looking for the Wheel of Fortune Dalmatian or
the Porcelain Cheetah Either one.

You remember when you had to spend all your money.

Andrew (03:15:21):
Oh, I know right, Just giving you cash.
Oh my God, All right, I guessI'll take that ugly painting.

James (03:15:27):
Right.
People started asking like yeah, if you take all those prizes,
don't you still have to paytaxes on the, on the winnings?

yes, oh yeah when people win a car, they have to
pay taxes on the car yeah that'slike the all those home
improvement shows yes, like theymake your house so much nicer
and then your property taxes goup, oh yeah, and you can't
afford it anymore.

James (03:15:50):
That's why the love it or list it thing.

Yeah.

James (03:15:54):
In particular, I think they fix people's houses up like
, okay, what's our budget?
Well, let's see, I'm a Tibetanbowl healer, yes, and I run a
daycare for owls, whatever.

Andrew (03:16:08):
My budget's $750,000.

James (03:16:10):
Exactly, that's it 100%.

Andrew (03:16:15):
We're both public school teachers.
Our budget for a new house is$1.2 million.
What the hell.

James (03:16:20):
What is going on?

Fable (03:16:23):
How is that possible?
This is so unrelated, but mymom just sent me a picture of
Preed's toe beans.

Toe beans, I love toe beans.

Fable (03:16:31):
Toe beans.

It looks like he's raising his hand.
I know.

Andrew (03:16:35):
I know, all right, so you've got two sarcophagi open.
There's one left.
Okay, what would you like to dowith the last one you want to
open?

it up.
Let's give her a whirl.

Andrew (03:16:45):
Yeah, another strength check 10.

James (03:16:49):
18 minus three, 15.
13.
I'm very proud of that 15.

Andrew (03:16:54):
That's amazing.
That's the highest, the highestrange rule I think they've had.
So, Dal and Zanros are pushingit and Nick William just gets
behind him and goes.
I helped.

James (03:17:13):
And realizing, I realize, of course, outside of game, I
realize that I'm not the onlyone I helped.
And realizing, I realize, ofcourse, outside of game, I
realize that I am the light endof the couch guy.
I did it, I did it.
So have you had a light end ofthe couch guy?
Have you ever moved with thelight end of the couch guy?
No, so it's the guy that lookslike he's doing stuff but he's
not lifting anything.
Oh yeah, and I had to move aconvertible, a couch that had a

(03:17:38):
bed in it.

Andrew (03:17:38):
Uh-huh, oh my God, oh, those really heavy yeah.

James (03:17:40):
Outside the condo I was renting, right, oh geez, we had
to go out the outside staircaseand what happens?
And he's not lifting, we'relifting everything.
It's like Ross and the pivot on.
Friends, right, and then all ofa sudden out of the couch.
The whole bed goes.
Oh no, it springs out overoutside of the stairwell.

(03:18:04):
Oh my God.

Andrew (03:18:05):
It's an outside stairwell.

Speaker 5 (03:18:06):
So it's like there's literally.

James (03:18:08):
We have to leave it there for a minute and go Should
really take a picture of this.
There's no cameras, those arelike way before.

Andrew (03:18:17):
Oh, my God.
And and it was literally comedyLike you can't write comedy of
a bed jumping out of thestaircase, and it was because of
the light end of the couch guy.
Cause he wasn't Right, right,right, oh my God.

I guess in our relationship I's the light end
of the couch guy.
Yeah, because he wasn't Right,right, right, oh my God.

Speaker 5 (03:18:36):
I guess in our relationship I'm the light end
of the couch guy, because Ialways help move.

I mean, I put in effort, but I can't put in the
same level of effort you do,whatever you help, that's all
that matters.

James (03:18:45):
No, no, no, that's like, but you're not faking it no no,
I am not.
You're not like saying oh, lookat me moving this whole couch.

Andrew (03:18:52):
No I actually help.
Good job guys.
Yeah, you want to put thatright over there.
Yep, yep, great job, great job.
I'm going to go outside andgrab the other thing and do the
stuff.

Remember that time your dad thought I wouldn't be
able to lift something and Iliterally took it with one hand,
and hoist it I was going to thegym very regularly at that
point.

Andrew (03:19:14):
Alright, so we it would fall down.
Now, that's right.
So you open this lastsarcophagus.
Nothing in it, just dust andbone fragments and cloth.
There's nothing to speak of inthis sarcophagus.
What happened to these people?

Where are the tracenders?
They're not in the sarcophagi.

Andrew (03:19:37):
They're just bones.
Oh, there are bones.
Yeah, there are bones.
They're just completelydecomposed at this point.
I thought there was nothing inthere other than like no, no, no
, no, no, no.

Oh, so I just stole that lady's bracelet.
Yes, oh that, I just stole thatlady's bracelet.
Yes, oh, that's probably badluck.
I mean Okay.

Andrew (03:19:55):
Desecrated her grave Exactly, dang it.
All right, do we want to go?
Why don't we call it therebefore we explore into the other
rooms?
Yeah, you cleared this room, sothe next thing that was
happening was Iquium was goingthrough that one door.
Yes, so we'll pick up there.

Fable (03:20:15):
Wait, did we get the last tomb?

Andrew (03:20:20):
and I just forgot Sarcophagus yes, that was the
last one.

Remember that Iquium helped I helped, I helped, I
helped, and then there wasnothing in it.

James (03:20:29):
Yeah, thanks, buddy, it's empty Great job, thanks, great
job Really, really.

Speaker 5 (03:20:34):
We are so proud of you.
We are so proud of you.

James (03:20:38):
Such a big boy.

Andrew (03:20:41):
All right, so you've cleared out a little bit of
Tresendermanor now.
You've cleared out a little bitof Tresendermanor now there are
still skeletons that are in thewaiting room In a hallway.

James (03:20:59):
There's skeletons in a hallway I just picture them all
face first against the wall,going where are we supposed to
go?

Andrew (03:21:05):
So now, that we've gone through this, I'll tell you.
So, now that you, now thatwe've gone through this, I'll
I'll tell you what you, what youmissed.
Let's I'll do a little recap ofwhat, what you may have missed
this is.

James (03:21:18):
This is where we find our regrets.

Andrew (03:21:20):
Not at all.
So this is, this is.
This is really funny.
So so the yeah, the cistern,absolutely nothing to it.
It was it was just water.

We were just really overly cautious about it.

Andrew (03:21:34):
The only thing in there was the satchel, the satchel
that was hiding in the water.
Okay, and that was literally it.
The red brands that were inthat room, I will tell you.
You forgot to loot the bodies,damn, and they did have coin on
them and stuff, so you did missthat.

Yeah the trap in the hallway.
It was a 100-pound limit.

Fable (03:22:08):
So that's why Zanros went right across it without any
problem.
Well, also, I threw her but andshe rolled.

Andrew (03:22:11):
She rolled, she rolled over it.

Fable (03:22:13):
So yeah, but.

I was so tiny.

Andrew (03:22:15):
You were so tiny it didn't matter.
And the same thing with theskeletons.
The skeletons weren't 100pounds, so they went over it
without a problem, but the twoof you would have completely
gone right through and there wasnothing.
It was just a pit, there wasnothing.
You would have gotten somebludgeoning damage hitting the
floor of the pit, but nothingmajor to speak of.

(03:22:37):
But Tobias helped you.
What's his name?

James (03:22:45):
Theo, theo.

I'm like sitting here like is he making an arrested
development reference?
Like what's happening?
I couldn't, I couldn't.

Andrew (03:22:56):
I couldn't remember his name Theo, theo pimple.
So Theo pimple saved you fromthat.
Um yeah, and, and the weirdestthing was cause I was trying to
figure out how to cause I causeI knew the skeletons were going
to like decimate these twobecause Theo and you had the the
red brand cloaks on, and sothat that was the thing it said

(03:23:16):
the skeletons don't go afteranybody with a red brain cloak
on.

James (03:23:21):
So so, even if they were wearing the cloaks, despite the
fact that they were either toolong or too short wouldn't have
mattered.
It wouldn't have mattered.

Andrew (03:23:30):
Wouldn't have mattered.

James (03:23:31):
They had the cloaks on and that had the cloaks on that
way.

Andrew (03:23:32):
That would have done it.
Y'all would have been safe damnyeah well shucks so I had I had
to play around with thatbecause I was like I'm like I
gotta figure out a way for themto figure out that yeah, when
you said it, I immediately wentto oh well, there's a wizard in
here or something.

James (03:23:49):
No, no just your, just your cloak you're, you're, you
know you're wearing the Jakefrom State Farm outfit.

Fable (03:23:57):
That's right, you know you talking to Jake from State.
Farm what are you wearing Jakefrom?

State Farm hideous she sounds hideous.

James (03:24:08):
Oh, awesome, awesome she sounds hideous Awesome, awesome,
all right so lessons learned.
Don't attack the intimidated.
What have we learned today?
Equium, Do a little segment welike to call Equ.

I think, liam this is how you fucked up.
This is the segment calledJames.
We love you, but could?

James (03:24:39):
you cut that shit out?
Could you cut that shit out Can?

Andrew (03:24:45):
you knock it off.

James (03:24:47):
Oh man, I'll tell you where it comes from, though.
It comes from years of playingand always, like you, let the
one guy go and then the armycomes after you, and that's
literally where the reactioncomes from Sure, I get that.
You cannot Guess what they'renot getting out of live.
We have to chase them so theydon't tell anybody else.
Right, I get that yeah you gofull murder hobo.

I get it, but we could have also tried to
convince them to work at the B&Bor like work at the B&B.

Andrew (03:25:22):
I hear you.
I hear you purring down there,hey Mulder.
Mulder is purring away.
Alright, so that will concludethis part of Tresendermanner.
I had really hoped you wouldhave nailed that first history
check, because there is somelore about the Tresenders that

(03:25:42):
you should know.
Yeah, we'll get to it at somepoint.
But I'm hopeful You'll learnthat.
Cool, but anyway.
But I'm hopeful you'll learnthat.
Cool, but anyway cool.
Any thoughts?

questions on what happened.

Andrew (03:26:06):
There's so much more to this hideout that you got to
explore, so I'm really excited.

Before the next one, do we take a long rest so that I
don't die?

Fable (03:26:17):
Yeah.

Andrew (03:26:18):
No, there's really no long rest.
No, I would say short rest,probably not.
How long is a short rest?
Four hours, yeah, or no.
One hour.
Short rest is one hour yeah,anywhere from short was four
hours, yeah or no.

James (03:26:31):
One hour shortest is one hour yeah, anywhere from one to
four hours anywhere from one tofour hours.
Chill out in sarcophagus roomfor an hour so that I can get
some so like I can tell you as abecause I've been, what do you
mean?

Andrew (03:26:43):
no you there.
If you, if you stayed in thisroom for a couple of hours yeah
other people would discover you.

James (03:26:56):
That's why you could hide in sarcophagus.

Exactly, there's three of us.

James (03:26:59):
There's three sarcophagi I would never get out, I would
be dead.

And Theo Pimble can wait outside.

Andrew (03:27:06):
Yeah, so what are your hit points at right now?

One.

Andrew (03:27:13):
Well, you've got a healing spell, right, but that
uses a spell slot.

Yeah, I've got a healing potion, but I have to
take it on an action.

Andrew (03:27:22):
Can I just steal myself?
You can take an action and do ahealing potion.

James (03:27:25):
But I can do a short rest .
Here's the benefit of shortrest.

Andrew (03:27:29):
The hit die.

James (03:27:30):
Well, not the hit die For , not only not the hit, for me
it's different because I get myskills back.

Speaker 5 (03:27:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fable (03:27:35):
Because, if I but like I have if I do a short rest, I get
one spell slot.

James (03:27:41):
Right.
So, I mean, I've only usedelder splice doesn't count
because it's cantrip.

Andrew (03:27:48):
It's a cantrip yeah.
But it means I have one slotleft for my other Right.

James (03:27:56):
Because all I could think of was oh great, I attacked the
guys who were intimidated,xanros is down and now I have to
use Arms of Adar, which I kindof love, that spell.

Andrew (03:28:08):
Right.

James (03:28:09):
So I would think, Because the visual is just I love it,
love that spell, right.

Andrew (03:28:12):
So I would think, because the visual is just, I
love it, I love that, I lovethat.
But think about I would suggestthink about more of the
negotiation skills, like itdoesn't always have to be an
attack.

James (03:28:27):
So what you're saying is I shouldn't kill everything in
my path.

Andrew (03:28:31):
I get it, I understand.
Just saying there are more thanone way to deal with a
situation.
It does not always have to bespellcasting and weapon wielding
.
It could be conversations andother things.
That's always.

(03:28:52):
That's always an importantthing to remember.
It's I.
I'm bullying me, I'm, I'm ofthe, I'm of the murder hobo
school.
I I love.
Like I'm like after a long dayof work, I'm like all I want to
do is kill shit like that, likeI just want to like let's go
like cause here's the thing LikeI love, I love our Wednesday

(03:29:13):
nights cause I enjoy the roleplaying.
I love, I love the role playingaspect of it.
But like monday nights, mondaynights is like my kill shit
night, like I just like I'm likeI will go after anything and
everything and just like I don'tcare, I don't care if I die,
because I'll just roll up a newcharacter, right?
So I will just go head first.

I care if I die.

Andrew (03:29:35):
I know you care.
I don't want you to die.

James (03:29:39):
I do have to say.
What's really fun about Equiumis that there are so many
opportunities to fail.
It sounds funny, but it's likeit makes you think differently
about the game.
You have to either be in totalacceptance of the fact that one
you're relatively squishy.

Andrew (03:30:00):
Yeah.

James (03:30:01):
You know Right, and and two, like I keep on looking at
the stats and I'm like I knowyou guys roll this up and I'm
like, but why, why, Like?
You know, and it's like I knowlike there's plenty of like for

(03:30:21):
NPCs and stuff.
Like I roll up plenty of care.
I'm like, oh yeah, this guy's afarmer.

Andrew (03:30:25):
Right.

James (03:30:26):
You know whatever, or you know whatever it might be.
But I think there's absolutecomedy in the fact that you know
you've literally pulled outyour entire back because you
tried to lift you know somethingoff the street.
You know it's like you knowthinking about and I was

(03:30:50):
actually because I was thinkingabout the game I was at the gym
this morning.
Okay, so the whole D and Dstrength equation is for every
point of strength you have, thatrepresents 10 pounds that you
can bench press, right.
So I'm like, okay, what does itfeel like to be able to you
know to to lift 50 pounds andbench press 50 pounds?

(03:31:19):
So, I'm like, okay, well, I canbench press 50 pounds, that's
not a thing.
But realizing like what if thatwas the max?

Andrew (03:31:27):
Right.

James (03:31:28):
And it just makes you go oh okay, there's a physicality
to this, it's not, you know it'svery interesting.
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, totallyto me it's fun to think about.
I mean it's like yeah, I knowit's completely geeky, like how
many, how?

Fable (03:31:40):
many things can I lift?
Would any bonus you have be anextra 10 you can lift, like if
you have a plus one on yourstrength, or is that a weird way
of thinking about that?

James (03:31:49):
um think about strength as the your base.

Andrew (03:31:54):
Strength is what you can bench like what's your, what's
your strength for?
For equium?

James (03:32:00):
five five, so you can so it means I can, I can bench
press 50 pounds, right.
But the minus it's giving you,if you think about it, is kind
of the physicality of it, right.
It becomes cumbersome to tryand move something bigger like
you just don't have.
Like, what I thought was greatis like when you were telling me
, like I was pushing the circle,like I get to hear the stone,

(03:32:23):
but it's like, okay, I'm notthen I roll that really great
roll and I'm like that's thehighest strength I've gotten.
Oh, yes, let's go.
And it's like I'm a big boy,you know like it's like okay,
right exactly.
And it's still not.
You know, is it successful forIquium?
Yes, but it still only meansthat there's.

(03:32:43):
You know only so much that thatcan apply to.

Andrew (03:32:47):
Right exactly.

James (03:32:48):
I think that becomes the fun of know somebody.
I don't know whether it was, itwas probably brendan lee
mulligan or or matt mercer.
They're like no failure is funif you really think about it, if
you let yourself, because I, ohyeah, I've run into people who
who get viscerally angry whenthey fail in dnd and they're
like, oh yeah, I'm gonna, we'regonna die it's so much fun to.

Andrew (03:33:11):
I think it's so much more fun to roleplay failure.

James (03:33:15):
Oh, 100% it's hysterical, I'm sorry.

Andrew (03:33:20):
What did you roll for the strength check to throw A?

Fable (03:33:25):
two.

Andrew (03:33:26):
To throw Zanros.
So I'm like okay.
So I mean, dal is still strong,so how do you fail at?

Speaker 5 (03:33:37):
What does that look like?

Andrew (03:33:38):
So you hit the ceiling.

Speaker 5 (03:33:40):
And that's great.

James (03:33:43):
And I know, I know I said , keep in mind you have horns,
Because all I could think of wasoh God.
All I could think of was Dalthrowing.
If all I could think of was Dalthrowing Xanros and Xanros just
getting caught on Dal's hornsand you're like expecting Xanros
to be down the thing and all ofa sudden you look up and
there's.

Andrew (03:34:01):
Xanros, just hanging off the one horn, yeah.

James (03:34:04):
Just okay, that didn't go well.
Oh well, exactly, that's like.
That's like, that's where itbecomes so much more fun, I
think, it's absolutely the funof you know, the fun of the fun
of failure is a real thing.

Fable (03:34:16):
I did the math.
She can bench press one 20.
Is that what it is?
Bench pressing?
What's your what's?

Andrew (03:34:22):
your strength, score 12.
Yeah exactly yeah.

James (03:34:26):
And it used to be like in in first and second edition.
First edition was you had, andit used to be like in first and
second edition.
First edition was you had youcould only get up to 18, and
then you'd roll percentilesBecause you could have the
strongest you could be was justshy of 19, which was 18, double

(03:34:47):
zero strength, and that was that.
You could military press orbench press or what have you 180
pounds, which, yeah, but nowit's a little different.
It's actually a little.
I think it's actually a littleeasier to.

Andrew (03:35:03):
Yeah.

James (03:35:04):
You talk about rolling up stats and Stephen Colbert, who
loves D&D, oh yeah, he goes.
Yeah, well, we'd farm peopleout.
And Matt Mercer's, like what?
Like yeah, they become a farmer.
Like, okay, start completelyover, that guy's a farmer, he
retires from adventuring goesback to farming.

(03:35:24):
He's completely unsuccessfulbecause there's not a stat above
12.
You know that kind of thing.
I think it's 12 or 14 orwhatever.

Andrew (03:35:34):
That's great.
It's like yeah.
All right, everybody, thank you, thank you.
Thank you all so much forplaying today.
I hope you had fun.

Absolutely.

Andrew (03:35:46):
I thought we were going to get so much farther in this.
Yeah, the cistern, the cisternreally got you guys.

Like this was like became obsessed with it.
I was positive there was goingto be something.

Fable (03:35:58):
I'm like.
You made it sound so suspicious.

Well you do that with everything, you make everything
sound suspicious.
So how are we supposed to knowwhat's not suspicious?

Andrew (03:36:08):
Exactly, but it's just like it's really just cold,
fresh water, there's nothing.
But that's why?
Well, because with Theo he puthis hand in it.
Well, I mean, at first he goesone, two, three, Like I was just
fucking with you at that, Right.

James (03:36:22):
And that says it all.
That was what said it all.

Andrew (03:36:26):
So see, really the fact that we got his first word.

James (03:36:28):
You are to blame.

Andrew (03:36:29):
That is my fault, yeah, but then afterwards, theo just
put his hand in it and he waslike no, there's got to be
something to this.
He's just holding his hand.
He's just swishing his hand inthe water.

Fable (03:36:37):
I thought I was like oh, he's a red brand, the thing
knows that it's like he's chill.

Andrew (03:36:46):
The water knows he's a red brand.
I was ready, like is James,like I want you to go in the
water.
I'm like, okay, I'll go in,right, and you could have really
messed with me going.

James (03:36:52):
He starts writhing in pain and melting.

Andrew (03:36:54):
Like oh my God, I just paid this guy a gold piece to
jump in a vat of acid.

James (03:36:59):
What kind of person am I?

Fable (03:37:06):
Like that, you know, and I'm like, hmm, I'd roll a
percentile to see like how, howmany minutes he stayed
underwater.

Andrew (03:37:11):
Just yeah, like okay he's definitely dead, he's
definitely you know there'sactually, there's actually a
scuba tank under there that hewas just breathing from well, I
did get in the whole cisternthing, I did get flashbacks
uh-huh and I think I've told youthe story of my nephew.

James (03:37:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was literally an empty room.
It was an empty room in thewhole cistern thing.
I did get flashbacks and Ithink I've told you the story of
my nephew.

Andrew (03:37:33):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

James (03:37:33):
It was literally an empty room.
It was an empty room with bunksin it it had.
It had two sets of two bunks.
That was it.
There was nothing and it was amodule that it was just like it
was empty.
But it was literally the firstthing they came to that was the
bereft of anything, right, andhe got so suspicious and he's
like no, it's Uncle James, he'strying to kill us Exactly.

(03:37:56):
I'm like I'm trying to have fun.

Andrew (03:37:59):
Sometimes a room is just a room Sometimes and I said
that.

James (03:38:02):
But at the end I said, well, roll a dexterity.
And he rolled a one.
And I said you hit your head onthe bunk.
And he rolled a one.
And I said you hit your head onthe bunk.
And from that point on itbecame like a hallucinating
fever dream of the room turninginto and I made a giant pina
colada.

Andrew (03:38:22):
Right.

James (03:38:23):
And turned the room into a blender and in the end he was
like so nothing happened to me.
I'm like no, you hit your headon the bunk, you were
unconscious and dreaming aboutit and he goes.
Uncle James, I'm going to needa minute.

Andrew (03:38:37):
You go ahead and take a minute.

James (03:38:39):
Sometimes a room is just a room.

Andrew (03:38:40):
That's right.
That's it, that's right.
Sometimes a cistern is just acistern.
