Divgorod - Reclusion - Episode 5

Ending the Scoob Don't & Gang side shot with a BANG!

Episode Transcript

(00:14):
Hello fair listener, welcome andthank you for following our
journey on Meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warnings. Sometimes we are not safe for
work and others not safe for real life.
Journey forth at your own risk, Lori Craig.
Hail to the savior of the human race.

(00:38):
Uh huh. So howdy.
When we left off, scooby-doo andthe gang had just arrived at
Divgorod Keep. I don't know why my Roll 20 is
hiding most of its UI, but it is.
There we go, there we go. They came here in search of the

(01:06):
White Flame and information. Well, they found the Cult of the
White Flame, or the Order of theWhite Flame depending on who you
ask, and were told that they would be allowed an audience
with their leader come the morning.
Having just smuggled themselves N from the governor's lands in

(01:32):
my map is failing me. Beldikoff, I apologize, I am.
I'm holding on, but holy crap has today worn me out.
I'm. Loving it.

(01:58):
From here, hopefully they will get the information they need to
lift the curse that grips Devgrod and claim their reward
and become landed Lords. I can't wait for next one shot.
Whenever we see what count Scooby, don't and the gang get
up to next. Just the right doc.

(02:22):
Yeah. All right.
So we will pick up with the gangmeeting Ivana, the leader of the
White Order of the White Flame. It's early morning, we're all

(02:45):
waking up. Dawn comes and you all wake up
and you are greeted by a burly man wearing the same a
haphazardly cobbled together butsturdy white garb that the rest
of the men and women here are wearing.

(03:10):
He nods his head to you, and it's like Ivana will see you
now. Thank you, Sir.
Should we follow you? He motions with his head and
begins to lead you through the courtyard towards the main key.

(03:34):
Come on, gang. OK, go talk to some cult leader.
I mean, Ivana, it's. Time to gather some clues.
I come out of the bedroom wearing one of the white
costumes with a nightcap like hey gang, sorry I slept so much,
this is cozy and I skip along behind.

(03:59):
I'm not. As I'm walking, I have a
magnifying glass and I'm lookingat the ground at no discernible
thing. And I come out of the room after
everybody looking pristine as usual since I can get up earlier
than you so I have extra time toget ready.

(04:23):
So what are we doing again? We're going to meet this lady
and. You're off to meet Ivana.
Link arms, Link arms with you and I say we're off to see the
wizard. Don't believe Mistress Ivana
studies the wizarding arts. That's a different game.
Oh sorry I got confused. There's some weird back slip

(04:47):
back, some some weird memory bubble, I don't know.
He leads you into the main key and into.

(05:09):
It looks like he used to be a large dining hall here, though
the table has long since been moved and a section of floor has
been gouged out to create room for a large fire pit, in which
of course burns a massive white flame.

(05:33):
Looking at the flame, this flame, being like it's
compatriots, burns quite cold, so this room is pretty
comfortable despite the summer heat.
A handsome woman with sharp features and the markings of a

(05:55):
hard life stands in white and like a white Tavern with a long
white Cape flowing behind her. Looking at the fire, she notices
your approach and nods to the guard that brought you in and
turns to face you. You're the outlanders I was told

(06:19):
about. Yep.
She looks each of you up and down with the stern, matronly
eye of a like a school nun. Anundrum incorporated, ma'am,
and I stick out my hand. James smirks at it and reaches

(06:45):
out and grips it in a firm, calloused grip.
My. What brings a conundrum
incorporated? Well, it seems you have You have
a conundrum on your hands here with this curse that needs to be

(07:05):
lifted from the land. The Kings have been started
sending out a general challenge,if you say, if you could say to
King's. Bounty.
Yes. And we hope to help the lands

(07:26):
here. And we've kind of been directed
here. But on our way here, we did
learn some new information also.We do we, we would like to
enlist your help for something else though, since we've been
travelling through the lands fora little while now with we've

(07:48):
been, we've been told you you have some potential sway over
those who have been cursed and may be able to help them.
I I say, not looking any lookingdirectly at her, dammit.

(08:10):
Oh. It is fresh enough it could be
purified. Well I just turned to Daphne at
this point and say don't know what that means but at least you
won't turn into a monster. And Daphne just kind of looks

(08:30):
around a little bit and looks atthe fire for a second before
turning her attention back to Ivana.
What do you mean by purified? Do you mean like some sort of
ritual or is it like medicine? It is neither.

(08:55):
Ritual implies some level of complexity.
Then how would you describe thispurification process?
That depends. Do you wish to be purified?

(09:17):
If I say no, would there be any future consequences I would have
to come across? You are no from your experience.
You are no monster yet, and perhaps they will remain that
way. Or perhaps you'll become like
the choir over in What did I name that town?

(09:40):
You become like the choir in Chipotle, or like the things
that have stalked you in the night here.
We don't know what causes the transformations, but we know
each of those things out there was likely a man or a woman at
some point. Or a beast.
We've seen some weird horse thing.

(10:02):
Yeah, that was interesting. Sounds like quite the risk.
I need a minute to think they'remy options.
Phil, I guess we could turn to other business while.
So. Internally.

(10:24):
You say you're familiar with this, this process of being
cursed and undoing it. We're looking together some
clues as to what's causing this blight, and maybe if we can
understand what is causing this curse then it would help us
unravel the larger mystery. How much do you know about the
crystals that are found in the creatures?

(10:48):
They are manifestations of whatever presence has come to
diff grod. It is no different than the.

(11:10):
Put this Have you ever seen something forged by the gods?
I do not believe I have. That'd be pretty.
Cool. They're often comprised entirely
of the energy of that God. I believe the white flame is one
such thing. It is almost as if the magic

(11:36):
that was used to create those crystals is just.
If you're familiar with divine energies, they are almost
antithetical. Not in the same way that like a
devil or demon is, more like opposite sides of a coin or

(11:58):
opposite sides of a lodestone. So you're saying that the force
of protection that creates this flame and the force that creates
these gems are one in the same and just opposite sides of the

(12:19):
same thing? I am saying that the gods that
made them are opposite sides of the same thing.
At least that's what I feel. So also I guess I made an
assumption. I'm assuming that these gems are
always. How would the curses happen?
Do you find that to be the case?Is there always a crystal

(12:42):
involved in the cursing of someone, or have you seen it
happen in other ways? I've seen my people, the people
of Dvgarod, vanish and then later we find them so changed.

(13:03):
I don't know if the crystals formed inside of them or if they
were. If the crystal was implanted or
grew, well, so much for trying to figure that one out.

(13:27):
Like we'll have to test it. Do we still have that chicken?
We could put the other crystal in there and see what happens.
Well, we know it'll curse it. What I'm trying to figure out
is, does the crystal come from outside of the body and need to
be implanted? Therefore the first curse, the

(13:48):
first person cursed. The crystal had to come from
somewhere because it didn't comefrom in them.
But if the crystal comes from inthem, then that's different.
If it's an external source, thenwe can hunt that external source
and perhaps find the genesis of the soul curse.
It's probably a guy in a mask. It usually is.

(14:10):
What I have seen, the crystals are manifestations of life run
wild. OK, so source of crystals is not
the layer. If you look at the things these
things, it is almost as if they were sculpted with a specific

(14:38):
cruel purpose in mind. They are life's tendency to give
birth and consume, birth and consume and cycle forever.
The ugly side of things. Rot and decay, predator and

(15:00):
prey. When we built temples to the
gods and goddesses of life, we often decorate them with trees
and plants, so rarely do we grant them the ugliness.

(15:26):
On a different note, do you knowanything about the governor's
wife? Oh yeah, I.
Believe we were told she might be a witch.
And so my time. Witch.

(15:49):
Art Larga larga larga I I mixed that into AJ.
Well, it is AJ. Oh, OK.
Pronunciation Laria. She is a.

(16:15):
Don't know what to say about her.
Comes from a wealthy but small family.
Our troubles began around the same time as their wedding.
Some think that she is a witch that beguiled him and that is
part of our problems. I'm not inclined to disagree.

(16:37):
I have a suspicion that half thereason he is so begrudging of
our help, of the orders help that is, is because of her
influence. I was just going to ask that So
what what? What was the big falling out
between you guys and the governor?

(16:59):
He was not willing to except another font of power in this
city, in this region and focus of power.
He was not willing to accept that the best way to defend our
people is to embrace the white flame and to fight back against

(17:19):
these monsters. He thinks that with enough
gunpowder and men, he can hold his own.
But the things out there are adapting.
The one weapon that has remainedtrue to us is the white flame.
None of them can bear its presence.

(17:43):
Speaking of which, I have something to go do real quick
and I just ran out the door to go soak the flame in our
carriage. So have you noticed a higher
concentrations of these creatures in certain places

(18:03):
throughout the land, particularly say northeast of
here? She was like, would you like to
go on a hike? As long as it's daylight, I

(18:24):
would sure love to it. Does a 12 keep the fire stoked?
If you agree, she's going to take you on a hike up the
mountain to a viewing post. They've set up a small
watchtower at the top of one of the nearby peaks.
Yeah, as long as we wait for thewhole game.

(18:45):
Yeah. Does does does a 12 keep fire
keep the? Flame going.
You don't have to bend the flamenow that it's going.
Oh, OK, I thought you'd said. I I didn't say that, didn't I?
Well. Yeah, at the beginning of every.
Yeah. So that's where I run the most.
DC-10. OK, and I come running back.

(19:07):
Keeping a fire going? Good.
You're alive. Resurrection case.
Breathe. Breathe quick.
Anyway. Yeah, so I I come back heavy
breathing is what I was saying. As you guys are leaving, out

(19:29):
they go. We're going on a hike after
this. Hey, Ivana.
Pretty well defined to where they have set up a watchtower
and she climbs up the tower and Pat's the man at the top.

(19:54):
On the back, what you see is an overlook of a large lake.
A forest rings the lake and in the middle of the lake is A and
it's a, it's a caldera lake. It's very much you can smell a
little bit of sulfur bubbling upfrom the water.

(20:17):
Shaggy, did you poop? You should.
I told you you should lay off the dog food.
Oh, like it wasn't me, man. I'm a regular.
I wink at the camera. And she offered.
In the distance, you can see a island.

(20:38):
Island. It's very.
Oh, Alex, I can hear myself. Fixed.
Fixed. All right, you can see an
island, heavily forested, but you see something rising up out
of the middle of it. She offers you a spyglass.

(20:59):
Take a look. I very eagerly take it.
Rising up out of the middle of the island, you can see a old
tower. It's clearly been there a long
time, crumbling and growing up around this tower is something I
don't think that Velma has seen but has had described to her

(21:22):
several times at this point. You see a tree rabbits bark, a
flesh like color and texture, and it has grown in such a way
that the tower has become part of it, its branches stretching
high and out. It's the limbs laden heavily

(21:45):
with fruit that from here look disturbingly like hanged men.
But the number of limbs they have is different for each one.
Many of them look like the monster you encountered your

(22:06):
first night here. Others look like the hounds
hanging from their necks that you fought prior.
And there are so many other organisms just hanging from that
tree that you've barely begun toscratch the surface of the kinds

(22:27):
of monsters that hunt these these plants.
I take one step back and withoutturning my head, I just reach
out behind me with the spyglass to Daphne.

(22:50):
Well and gently take this 5 glass from her and look through
it and just like you see a look of almost like shock all and
horror all on my face all at onetime, no.
No, no, no. You might feel those feelings,
but you also feel something else, Daphne.

(23:12):
You feel a desire. To be hanging from those
branches, to go to the tree, a call like that is truly home.
You know, Velma, I kinda that asmuch as like.

(23:37):
You have. Enough.
Wits to you to know that that isa very odd and bad feeling that
you should not indulge that, butthat's how you feel.
Kind of like. That feeling you have when you
want to return to your toxic ex you want to go to.

(23:57):
The well I'm glad it's nasty andnot me making these decisions
'cause it would be a very different outcome, but.
Because I think I found it. I found the lair.
I just kind of look over at Velma, as much as I feel called

(24:22):
to that place, you could, you'renot going to get me to go over
there like. As soon as you say the word
called that's my head snaps around.
I'm like a what now? I just feel a desire to be hung
from that tree, but I'm not going to.

(24:44):
So we knew you had a love of ropes, but I agree that's a step
too far. Kind of ropes though.
So, have you, have you considered about this cleansing
ritual yet? Have you made decision?
I've almost come to a decision. I think I'll have a definite
answer by the time we get back to the fire pit.

(25:14):
So has anyone ventured forth to that island?
What happens? A.
Couple teams, some of them came back only having been having
been driven away from the shoresshortly after arriving.
Of those that went past the trees and came back, they came

(25:38):
back wrong. We had to put them down and bury
them. How close can one get to the
shore before this corruption begins?
Have they written any tests? I do not like to play to run

(26:08):
tests with my men's lives. But clearly this is the source
of the corruption that must be destroyed.
It's a fairpoint. You could use chickens we.
Are. Working on something.
We've got a chicken. Is that something?
A giant catapult with a with flaming projectiles, You're.

(26:36):
Not too far off. I like your plan.
I. Was thinking a.
But I've been in talks with a, what's the term, a founder in

(26:58):
Corel, if I can get him to come out here with his apprentices.
We intend to make a cannon now. I can help with that.
Point me to the workshop. As I had this conversation, you
all just kind of hear Daphne sort like the softly pacing

(27:23):
behind you. Like it's just like a little
background noise of her heels, like hitting the wood paneling
of the watchtower. We intend to paint that entire
island in the white flame. Now you're thinking what I'm

(27:46):
thinking. I mean I was thinking we
surround the island and huck smaller cannons at it with a
bunch of ships, but if you got one big cannon that's even
better. These.
How big is? This cannon.
We have the majority of the problem contained here.
What was that? We some slip through crevices in

(28:07):
the mountains, but we keep the majority of the problem
contained here. Some, that's what we were facing
out there is some. Oh, oh boy.
Like blind them too? Have you considered maybe like
building watchtowers and big mirrors and pointing sunlight or

(28:31):
white flame light or whatever atthe island?
Do you know how much it would cost to make that many mirrors?
I don't know, Fred buys me things.
Speaking of light, since the creatures only seem to be able

(28:52):
to come out during the daylight on the mainland, do you know
what happens on the island? Do they go underground?
Is it safe to go on the island during the day?
Or is the corruption that you said people returned with only
happened at mod night visits? Something about the boughs of
the trees seem to keep the the island in their eternal shade.

(29:17):
Well worth a shot. So this Kenny you got, what kind
of square footage are we talkingfor the the AOE?
Well, OK, the the the the designs.
What's the AOE of this thing? AOE.

(29:38):
How? How big of a boom?
How big of a crater? That is a very good question.
We intend to make a couple of them a battery.

(30:00):
OK, I'm guessing you're going tostage them down there on the end
of the peninsula. That is the idea.
OK, OK. Are there any flying creatures
that you know of that could prevent present a threat to our
front lines when when we're setting up on the peninsula?

(30:23):
Do they have any ranged capability?
We have seen some things flying,though we've never engaged.
OK so I I personally would also have a guard force for your your
cannon brigade, maybe white flame tipped arrows, some sort

(30:52):
of security detail. Is that already in the works?
We have plans in the works, yes,bullets or just of the cold
iron. I'm hearing a lot about plans.
When is the execution of this supposed to happen?

(31:12):
It could be months. Oh dear.
Oh, what's holding us up? We'll.
Take time. I don't know if we'll have
provisions for that and. Getting the what's the term the
the founder up here to make the cannons is the biggest trouble
we have right now. The governor will not allow him

(31:33):
out to we will have to smuggle him and his tools out of coral.
Bill Gang, I think we just foundourselves a job.
We have to kill the governor. Well, I mean.
Execute a cue. I've I've I've.

(31:53):
Been stewing on it. Governor's men on our side, we
could make this short work of this.
I've been stewing out on an ideahere.
Why? Why don't we?
Why don't we try to make contactwith the Governor and promise to
improve the Queen's image in thefolks eyes?

(32:13):
Cause apparently she's got a badrap and she don't deserve it.
Are we sure she doesn't deserve it and everyone will just say
she is almost a definitely a witch?
No, that, that is unclear. But that would be a feasible
way, you think, wouldn't you, that they could believe that we
want to help them even if we find out later that we don't

(32:35):
want to help them? But what if she is a witch?
Then we kill her. I mean, even if she's amenable
to these these offerings, what'sto say that the price of
releasing this engineer is or isn't too high?
Oh no, no, we don't want to talk.
We don't want to talk to them about releasing the engineer.
That's not not something they want to do.

(32:57):
You got to realize these kings and Queens only want more power,
right? So their their their issue right
now is they've got they're in a power struggle with you, Ivana,
right. So, and you have no real qualm
with them really. Ultimately, you just want to do
what you're doing here, right? So how does increasing their

(33:22):
power tied into releasing the engineer?
We've got to convince them that we want to increase their power
so that they can they will work with us and not just
automatically shun us or shoot, we got to find a way into the
court, right, if we want to get close to any of them.
Or we just yoink the engineer. We can't do that at the same

(33:43):
time, I figure, because that's aperfect distraction.
Seems like a lot more than one sessions worth of content.
I say with a Nosebleed. No, no.
So wait, hold on. So, so we are, we have strong
suspicions that the the the mayor's wife is a witch who is

(34:07):
directly connected to this wholeevent, and your solution is to
attempt to work for her. Be her PR team.
Yeah, exactly. Why I?
Feel like that's a lot of effortto maybe hopefully let them
agree to release the engineer. Like I just, I just I guess I

(34:29):
don't find the connection between the effort and the
intended result. Because you're, you're that.
That's because you were thinkingabout this in a result oriented
fashion, which is obviously. Results.
Yes, I am. Kind of the reason why we're

(34:53):
here is to achieve results. We're a company.
However, that doesn't consider the problem that we have, which
is that we have two factions that are fighting against each
other rather than working together.
Well, because one of them is theantagonist.
Correct. And if we make the antagonist?

(35:14):
I don't think. We're going to also be.
In pregnant like I don't like, you're essentially saying the
like. For example, if Harry Potter and
Voldemort just worked together, there wouldn't have been a
problem. Exactly, except in your

(35:36):
particular example 1 is life is literally tied to the other.
And actually honestly maybe be agood example if they did work
together. If they did work together.
Scooby. Like one wants to destroy it
like this lady is like probably evil like I do.
What would they work together on?

(35:57):
Because she, I. Understand, I understand your
analogy is definitely going to walk in between y'all and just
kind of look both of y'all in the face.
Y'all are both worried about thesmaller problem here if we the
word that we're working for the wrong.
For the evil eye. If we do your route Scooby, that

(36:19):
gives us the engineer, but it wastes a ton of time.
And our big problem is not the engineer, it's the it's the
corruption. And while we are working, while
that is as small as part of the solution, we cannot afford to
waste all the time on one piece of the problem.
Yeah, and I don't think our small little gang is going to
change this huge view that's been going on for a very long

(36:41):
time. Because if the witch really did
'cause all this, how do we know that she's able to reverse it if
we weren't witching that doesn't?
Solve our problem. I guess to approach this from
another direction then what solutions do you have?
We burn the engineer forest down.

(37:02):
This is Gavana just said. We smuggle, the engineer.
Did you know that? Or or next week's session is
going to be 100% the last session for this.
Yes. So we we can ask all of
division, Gorod's problems, carry that over into my next
side shot, whatever. On that next wait, marriage,

(37:22):
that's the answer. We kill the mayor, She's now in
charge. And then there's this dude.
They get married. Political marriage, Ryan, I feel
like. Lesbian marriage?
Hell yeah. This this plan hinges on
convincing other people to do things they are very unlikely to
do. We can't just hope that two

(37:43):
people are going to fall in love.
We can't just tell them that OK,now kiss.
OK, so we need to burn the force.
So we can just smuggle the engineer and his tools out.
We know somebody who has a boat,who is a smuggler, but.
How long is no one? Arguing.
That. Also, do you need this engineer

(38:07):
or could you use a different engineer?
And and or. Two thumbs at herself.
Different cannons. You know about Foundry?
You can. You can a little.
You can forge some cannons. I mean, I got this guy and I

(38:33):
motion to my what's it called? Your turret.
Oh, it is a cannon. Yeah, I can make this guy, just
he's small. What tools do you need?

(38:55):
I mean OK so hats off. I know what tools I need my
alchemist to use to make my tinylittle Canon.
I'm not sure in the world what she would need to make Massive
Big Boy, So as a player I don't know how to answer that.
The reason she's talking to a Bell founder is that the the

(39:17):
technology like overlaps a lot. Wait, a Bell founder?
What's that? A person that makes bells like
big talking church bells. OK.
That's actually where cannons come from.
Fun fact. Yeah, you basically need like a
mold. Oh.

(39:38):
OK, so like we're talking like actual in the real world to make
a cannon. I was thinking like what magical
things in D&D would be needed? Smith thing?
What? Do you need to make a cannon
like she will try? If you think you can make a
cannon, she's going to let you try and make a cannon.
OK, a very large forge. Mold making supplies.

(40:04):
Typical blacksmith tools. How big is your foundry?
She will take you to where basically outside the walls is a
large mining camp. And in this mining camp there

(40:28):
are already large furnaces set up to smelt the ore.
They get to down into ingots I and she motions to them.
We don't have much of A foundry here.
That is part of the problem. But we can melt the ore if we

(40:52):
can make a mold. Could you make a cannon?
I can sure try. Maybe we could make de sand pit,
make the mold out of sand in twohalves and then Weld it
together. Think it'll work?

(41:13):
I can commit the resources to you.
Let's get to work, team. She crosses her fingers behind
her back. All right, I have no idea how to
do a fucking crafting check on this.
Let's see here. Usually you use your proficiency
in a set of tools. Seeing as you are a, you are.

(41:37):
You are a like, not an alchemist.
You're a. Artificer.
Artificer with the like the the the gun focused one, right, Yes,
you're the you're an artillery wrist.
Yeah, you know how to make a fucking cannon.
OK, cool. I'm going.
To say that you have it's an intelligent based skill that you

(41:58):
have proficiency in, if not straight up expertise.
OK, so advantage on the roll. Sure, I'll give you advantage.
Cool. OK.
Right, right, right. How to try to?
Figure out what skill it would be.
Probably want to use Smith's tools.

(42:19):
Theoretically and whatever year or the.
Main stat is which I think is wisdom, intelligence,
intelligence. Sorry, I forgot.
And then I have a a special scribe ability that lets me add
AD 4 to intelligence based. OK, so can I get can I get

(42:39):
Spartak inspiration on Velma real quick?
Fuck yeah. Yeah.
I feel like in there I'm. Casting party inspiration of
Ella. This feels like in Wheel of Time
when like one person is channeling and everyone like
gives their channel power to that person.
Absolutely yes. And they?

(43:00):
Just become like. Better I can do.
Hold up. A bowl to be filled.
Oh never mind, because you already have advantage in mind.
That would be stupid. I'll just cast party
inspiration. I don't have any advantageous
spells other than haste, which Ithink is actually might be a
advantageous at this point, but I don't know.
I was going to try to cast enhance ability but you already

(43:21):
have advantage so that wouldn't.OK, so guidance is a + 4 or
sorry AD 4 + 4. Yeah, 1D4.
Mine is a 1D4. What's Bartok inspiration?
Again, 1D6. That's one D6.
OK. And then what check am I rolling
for this? As I said, it's going to be just

(43:41):
roll and add your intelligence to proficiency.
OK, how much is proficiency? How do I find that level?
3. What, out of curiosity,
determines that? It's the number you add, it's
your level that determines it and it goes up like every few

(44:02):
levels like it caps it. Plus, oh, I see it proficiency,
yes, plus three. I found out my my thing.
Above initiative is what I was about to say.
OK so D20 then how do I add to it?
We can just do math in the old fashioned way.
OK, whoops. Oh, Oh no, I have an advantage.

(44:28):
OK, I get to roll again. OK, that's better.
So a 13 +3 for my intelligence, +3 for my proficiency bonus, it
says +6. So now we're at 19.
And then you I get. You've already beaten the DCF

(44:51):
set. OK, well I still want to do the
2D4A. Big number.
And the D6 I want to need a big number Yeah, OK the.
Number go up number. Of course, of course.
Number go up, make dopamine. Yep, I rolled the lowest
possible result, but that's OK, So 22.

(45:12):
That was just that was just the bardic with the D6.
Did you do the guidance? It's all yeah, that's all three.
I rolled 3 ones I. Needed three.
Holy thought, that's so bad. That is very sad. 21. 21 yes,
sorry I can math, I swear. Making this is going to take

(45:33):
time. It is like they have to bring in
the metals. You have to like melt them down
in the right ratios. You have to shape the mold and
cast it. Dig the bitch out once it's
cooled and it's going to take some time to cool something that
big. I got, I got, I got something
that can help us in this at least a little bit.
I got some mold earth. Yeah, man, that would help.

(45:57):
Oh yeah, the longest part is going to be the cooling process.
Let's see. Spells, spells, Spells, spells.
I. Also have.
Put it in the coal fire shape water.
Oh, coal. Fire.
Put it in the coal fire. It'll become a coal fire cannon
and it'll be cold. I don't have anything that would
be with you. How are you that?
How are you going to put? It in the coal fire, well, it's

(46:23):
also. Yeah.
Yeah, when it's molten in the mold, it's mold.
It's too malleable to damage themold.
Like I wouldn't want to disturb the mold until it's a certain
amount cooled. We bring our fire to it and
douse it. I've got I've got a question
that might work and could potentially also be really dumb.
Could Scooby just maychand the mold and put it in the fire

(46:43):
without being hurt by it? No, Maychand is only up to five
5 lbs. Yeah, sad there is a spell.
Only spell that I have that could even be remotely useful,
which it's not right now, is charm person, so.
But in order to cover the distance that you're wanting and

(47:05):
all that, it is going to take two days to forge this cannon.
It's also what's the name of that fucking cannon?
It is comparable to the Czar cannon in size.
What's that? It is the like in real life.

(47:29):
Yeah, the real like you're making it like used to make a
cannon that could go that distance.
You needed a black fucking boy. They used that to bring down the
walls of Constance and Opal if Iremember correctly.
I've got a question. Isn't that would my pyrotechnic
spill speed this up at all? Would that be possible?

(47:53):
I feel like that's just like fireworks.
Though it's a non magical flame that fits within a 5 foot cube
within range or where you can choose fireworks or smoke.
Does anyone have the ability to fly?
I can't fly, but I can swim. I I I have some means of doing
so, but it's a little roundabout.

(48:15):
What's? Your thought anyone had and
somebody has a bag of holding? I think I do.
Yeah, I do have a bag of them. We get a shit ton of scrap iron.
We put it in the coal-fired forge.
It becomes coal-fired scrap iron.
You fly up above the island to open up the bag of holding,

(48:38):
unload all of the coal-fired scrap iron and drop it on the
Birch. Well, that might cause them to
flee. You've made a.
Very large bombard cannon. I'm going to take about 5
minutes to use the restroom and refill my drink because I am
dehydrated as hell in the meantime.

(49:06):
Montage of crafting. Yeah, there's a little.
Montage. I'm coming in.
I'm busy. Doing that, Ileana is going to
gather up or Ivana is going to gather up the rest of you and as
well as some of her other men and begin to run through the
full plan they. I still gotta make my decision,

(49:33):
major decision that I don't knowwhat I want to do 'cause I'm too
decisive in this, but I think I know what I want to do.
OK. Basically she wants your help in
securing the peninsula here it shouldn't be too bad but that

(49:55):
they plan on just launching someboats from there once the cannon
starts firing to go and douse the edges of the forest in oil
so that and ignite it with the white flame.
Hopefully if all goes according to plan nobody needs to set foot
on light, but they do expect once the cannon start shooting

(50:16):
that something is going to respond.
Excellent plan. I've got the Boots of Speed.
Let's do this. I can teleport and I can swim if
I need to, so we can see. I said I'll be back in a minute.
Yep, montage. Montage with Daphne's half

(50:40):
paying attention in the background, just still thinking
over her decision of if she wants to get purified or not.
Get purified beach. Bro, you're gonna get turned
into a monster. It's not guaranteed though so
part of me is like just go for it, why not Like let's take the

(51:01):
risk and not be purified just incase it can come in use later
like. Will it what?
Happens if it doesn't come into use, but instead as a hindrance.
I mean you lose your. Character.

(51:21):
What if you become the next source of the the the second
infestation? Well I would just get turned
into a monster, I wouldn't become the source of it so y'all
can just kill me to move on. How?
That one started. What if there's?
Nothing you. To like, become the next queen.

(51:47):
Well, I mean. Then don't say that she's going
to be like, Oh my God yes, make me queen.
Is she already a queen? How certain insect colonies will
only spawn another queen in times of need when they need a
new queen. What if it's like bad guys?

(52:10):
Part of your I'm leaning towardsthat I don't want to get
purified. I'm really.
Well, you don't want to be the the the mother of the next
infestation. If you don't give a bad the next
time you meditate. They have to kill you.
Well, if you turn, we will kill you.

(52:36):
Right now you've got a zombie bite that can be cured.
If you if you were a zombie thatthat couldn't be cured, yeah,
we'd be killing your ass. So think of it in nice terms
maybe. That doesn't explain my
decision, right? Obviously.

(52:56):
You would 100% be that person ina zombie apocalypse.
You just. Got no.
It's no, I'm fine. It's totally fine.
You look really tasty, but it's still fine.
It's not too late. It's never too late.

(53:21):
I think I'm not going to give itpurify.
That's the decision I'm leaning towards.
Honestly I might just flip a coin and just say whatever.
No, you definitely have a say inwhat you want to do with your
body, but this white flame orderonce the other infestation is
wiped out, they might have a sayin it.

(53:41):
Also, we will when you start trying to eat us so.
Like you might have to go into hiding.
This could change your life. I mean part of me doesn't want
to do it just because of the wayshe worded it though.
Like 'cause she made it sound solike religion based and Daphne's

(54:09):
not about that so and neither amI honestly.
If it if it makes it any better,will hold your hand while you go
through it. I think of this more as pandemic
based. She didn't.
She didn't even say our. Religious culture one things to
something. Can people have?

(54:29):
Religious. Reactions to non religious
things all the time. What if they're version of
purifying her is just straight up like, I don't know, like
something so overdramatic that has a like bad effect in the
long run I mean. It could.
Be becoming a monster. I mean.

(54:53):
And those monsters are ugly, like let's be.
Realized Daphne's been able to control her this this far.
I think she can manage. And you?
Want to risk becoming ugly? Except for the one where you I
eat a crystal. That one, but you wanted to eat
the crystal too, so you can't even you can't say I.
Want to eat everything? So, but I think, I don't think I

(55:18):
know what my decision is. I really and that kind of I
don't know, I'm too indecisive. It is.
I mean, here's the thing. If you say that you're going to
let it happen, I'm going to. I'm going to have to insist that
like, you at least have a manacle on one hand.
That way, like when you fur whenyou further turn, we can like

(55:40):
strap you down. I I mean.
What what happens? What happens when you turn in
the middle of the battle when the as soon as the cannons go
off, this thing goes right and then calls out for alarm and

(56:02):
then whatever is in you gets turned and then you turn on all
of us? Yeah, we know what kind of
control. We just put in all of our blood,
sweat and tears into putting allthe oil and helping Velma build
this can in. You really want to go see that
all go to waste? I know I I don't want to see it

(56:24):
happen, but let's. I.
Was talking to you. I'm interested either way.
Oh yeah, it'll be funny either way.
Definitely. Trying to find hold up.

(56:46):
You won't be able to perform anymore of your shows.
You think people are going to goto a show where you eat them
alive? I mean, some people might be
into that, you don't know. On this day at the event,
Pierre. Your mic is like glitching
really bad for me. Is it doing that for everybody

(57:07):
else? Yeah.
You're I I'm not too far away from my computer.
How are you saying? So you might have to withdraw
yourself from society and becomea recluse because the white
flame is hunting you down and everyone knows what you are and
they're afraid of you. I don't think you are meant to
be an introvert. But also what if the whole?

(57:31):
Ugly introvert What if you become an ugly introvert?
What if I mutate for good though?
Like I get little little booster, whatever.
Show me one. Show me one time that this has
happened. Yeah, I think every language.
The but the creatures and. I end up looking and I have an
increased dark vision. Then y'all, do you remember that
horse? Thing.

(57:54):
You don't want to be a horse face.
As of now, no person who has turned has not has retained
control. Plus we shot we we all want to
do some experiments and see whathappens, like.
Nope, I'm good. I'm all study spaghetti.

(58:15):
Maybe if you maybe if we could put you in a.
Test tent in the back of the carriage.
Yeah, all right. Alternative plan.
I like where Shaggy was going, but not a whole cage.
Actually, actually it the the the carriage is protected by the

(58:38):
by the white flame doohickey, right?
So if she's in there, who? Ivana, do you mind if we buy her
some scraps of iron? Right, just old iron cage all
the way around the thing. Well, I can't touch it, but I

(58:59):
can be near it so. Yeah, well, we'll put the fire
inside. They can't.
If you remember the first time we got, we dragged one inside
and they burned up. So if you're in the carriage,
you're probably protected from turning.

(59:19):
You just, you know, try swallowing some of the white
flame necks. See what happens.
If you're on an experiment, maybe, maybe it'll stop the
curse in its tracks. But I think I, I think I have my
decision because. And you could ask more questions
about what this purification ritual is too.
I already tried, she was dodgingquestions.
Well, maybe she has like a. My exact words where what is

(59:47):
this purification process like And I got no answer so.
Maybe you just didn't ask enough.
We'll just ask again. I want to ask again but after
that my decisions if she dodges again.
My decisions been made at this point because if she tries to

(01:00:09):
full on throw me into that fire.Right.
Yeah, I mean, that's true. We don't know if the
purification is just like killing you.
That's what I that's what I was trying to explain while ago.
Because if it involves hurting me, it's certainly you're likely
going to get there are me versusthe monsters.

(01:00:31):
I assume no matter what's going to happen it's going to hurt but
killing you Like if just if. If cleansing you just means
killing you. That's what I'm.
Worried about that's the way it sound really culty.
So I was like. That's a non starter but like no
pain. Or something culty.

(01:00:55):
Also, I mean, you're into a little pain, right?
I think I heard. You talking I'm not dying.
Yeah, we'll just, we'll just make sure that you're not going
to die. It'll be OK.
How are y'all going to make surethat when there's more of them
than there is a US? Like even if we were all here,
there's still more of them than there is a US.
Bree, we got escape plants. We got contingencies.

(01:01:21):
All right. Two days, Nevada, before we do
this attacking, I'd like to revisit that purification ritual
you were talking about. Could you could you elaborate?
The only way we have found to purify those who feel the call

(01:01:43):
like her is to throw them into the white flame.
Not happening. I'm good.
Did they die? Yeah, what happens?
The parts of her that are painted will be burned away, and
should she survive that, she will emerge healed.

(01:02:06):
So I'll either die or I'll live and I'll lose my tongue in my
eyes. Have you?
That's not no. Have you, have you had?
Well, we could. We could fix that.
Don't worry. That's great.
Yeah, we could fix that. We'll be rich.
You don't have to, yeah. You don't have to worry about if

(01:02:28):
you lose those things. We can.
We can bring it back. I mean, given my line of work
you would think tongue would be the most important part, so I'm
leaning towards no. Thank you for the offer though.
The longer you wait, the more ofyou will be lost.

(01:02:51):
Well, I would rather have lived a good life and end up mutated
and dead then live live a life crippled by purification.
So I'm good. I will enjoy this life.
While at last she did say you, I'm not.
Yeah. What?
Without my eyes or my tongue? No.
And she? Say they'd be burned away.

(01:03:14):
It's exactly what she said. You.
Would emerge healed. Would you feel safer if you seen
somebody else go through it? Don't have my decision made but

(01:03:54):
now y'all are like. We got, we got it.
We got to give oh, on every lever here.
I mean, you've got you, you've got a monster inside you, and
we're about to attack all those monsters.
We don't. We don't want to have to kill
you too, Daphne. This is an intervention.
Yep. I think, do I think that hold up

(01:04:40):
y'all, just as I'm going to point this, y'all pretty much to
see Daffy going through like a midlife crisis on her, like just
kind of sitting there just so ifI do this now, they're going to
throw me into the fire and I'm going to feel my eyes and tongue

(01:05:02):
burning out and potentially die or.
Definitely turn into a monster and die.
She didn't say definitely, she said potentially.
If has anyone? Ever.

(01:05:23):
Turned into a monster. Ivana, do you have, do you have
people around here that are, youknow, painted and still OK?
No. They all turn eventually in your
experience. I'm tainted, choose to be

(01:05:45):
purified or they wander into thewoods and we find them again as
monsters. Well, I've already said I'm not
wandering into the woods, so I don't got to worry about that.
As of now, while you still have the faculties to control
yourself, who's to say that as the transformation progresses,

(01:06:08):
you lose more and more of your your control?
What happens when it becomes toolate to stop it?
If when you can't choose anymore.
Well, at that point, if we have hold of you, we throw you into
the fire and bury the remains. Cluck cluck, cluck, cluck,

(01:06:34):
cluck. Nope.
I'm. Guessing my scream didn't come
through of Grabber. I'm going to go with yeah.

(01:06:59):
I wait, I I wait very carefully waiting for your decision, but
we'll see what happens. I'm going to go with.
I'm going to wait it out. I'm going to wait it out.

(01:07:20):
Can you wait it out right next to this fire for us
conveniently? I thought y'all were supposed
you know we're. We're on your side, but.
Our safety. We don't want to be eaten by
you. I think.
Of our safety if you want us to think about your if you want to

(01:07:43):
think about you want us to thinkabout your safety, think about
our safety what if you eat my face I.
Like I mean, you're more than one that has a history with
trying to eat stuff. I've only done it once, yeah,
but so I would really be more worried about you trying to eat
people. But you're turning into a
monster. Y'all are trying to throw

(01:08:05):
monsters trying. To eat people.
Y'all are trying to throw me into a fire and have me feel my
eyes and my tongue burned out. Better that than turning into a
monster. In one you will continue living,
in the other you will become a monster.

(01:08:27):
She she, she still said I might die if I get thrown in the fire.
Sure. If you have cancer, are you
going to not get cancer treatment?
That's a terrible analogy. We'll move on.
Yeah. I guess, I guess we will see how
this attack goes and just have aSparta kick ready for you.

(01:08:51):
Yeah. Yeah, well, I don't want to be
purified in this moment. So that's.
My last, my my last thing that Ihave to say before we move on is
it's only going to get worse thelonger you wait, as it turns
out, as evidenced by many peopleand said by many people.

(01:09:12):
So if you wait longer. It'll only get.
Worse. Is going to be awesome.
Hey, Vilma, how's that? How's that cannon?
Looking. Groovy gang, it's coming along.

(01:09:35):
Wow. I believe we're just waiting for
it to cool now. It's on the little warrior rack
and everything, guys. Velma, what do you think I
should do? Because I've heard a lot from

(01:09:55):
Scooby and Shaggy, but. I've been convincing, not
convincing you not to be an uglyintrovert.
Best case scenario that that's where this leads even.
If you. Don't turn.
If it moves us on from this conversation, throw me in the
fire. That's about where I feel like

(01:10:18):
Daphne would be getting very frustrated.
Just the fact that she's not being agreed with.
Those murders come out of Daphne's mouth.
Ilania walks up to behind you and just pushes you and you are
in the fire. Oh boy, I hope we didn't just
commit murder. We didn't.

(01:10:40):
We did. And.
Did we just commit murder? We saved a friend for
themselves. You are in hell.
You are going to take the equivalent of 38 damage.

(01:11:03):
I'm dead. No, temporarily as you feel this
fire burning through your entirebeing like you are coated in oil
that and you feel it SAP your heat and then you feel your like
and then you feel it really focusing in where the taint is

(01:11:23):
most prevalent, in your throat, in your tongue, in your eyes.
They just burn with an excruciating pain and then it
doesn't hurt anymore. You feel like you've lost
something. You have lost the ability to

(01:11:45):
comprehend and speak all languages.
But the fire doesn't hurt. It's cold.
And if you're staying here for too long, it's going to be very
cold. Like you can feel it burning
away. Like you are going to be the
Daphne's coming out of the fire naked.

(01:12:08):
It has burned away. Her can't hear it.
But. There's nothing new for her.
She has been healed and has beenpurified.
The taint is gone. She no longer feels unwelcome in
the presence of the flame, and that longing to travel to the

(01:12:31):
Northeast is gone. I grabbed one of the white robes
off of a peg nearby and throw iteither.
The ice cream cone I was eating falls to the ground as a big.

(01:12:58):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wow, you look great.
Yvonne, I'm going to look something up real quick for what
I want to say how to. Wrap her in the robes.
Oh. That's stupid.
OK, When she comes out after she's been wrapped in the robes,

(01:13:19):
everybody can immediately noticethat her eyes are no longer
yellow. They're green now, a normal
color. You know, I kind of regret doing
that, but at the same time thereit felt a little good after a
minute, so I'm not complaining there.
Is nothing to regret child, You have been healed.

(01:13:48):
And one less liability in the plan is a comfort now.
Can I cast your wounds to myselfreal quick?
He took a long damn. It was healed almost
immediately. Well, I still a little, you

(01:14:16):
know, like just slightly peeved,but I'll get over it eventually.
Maybe, probably. Now I'm going to go back to my
room and get changed and I guesswe can.
Is the cannon still cooling? Cannons.

(01:14:38):
How long? We are ready to move on.
So I'm going to go get changed and then we're going to light
that bitch up so. And we can now do it with a
Peace of Mind that we won't haveto kill you, thank goodness.

(01:14:59):
Y'all have Peace of Mind? I was happy where I was.
Y'all. Let me, let me hold up.
Give me a second. I'm going to give you all the
visual kind of what she's wearing now after her
purification. It takes a lot of work.

(01:15:23):
The next few hours, maybe even days, are filled with men
carrying barrels down to barges full of oil and gunpowder.
A couple of men have built a massive reinforced cart to hold
the cannon, as as well as several teams of horses are

(01:15:43):
being used to pull it out of itsmold and prep it.
You did a pretty good job there,Velma.
Like you've not bad for your first super cannon, you're like
big old bombard. Cannon, a borderline nuclear

(01:16:04):
weapon. Yeah, I'll take it.
They take a moment to wait a fewhours to build a white flame
around it and convert it also into cold iron, as well as a
large number of cannonballs to be prepared that way.

(01:16:25):
OK, I'll put a picture of something similar to what Daphne
would be wearing at this point in the reclusion chat.
So just for 40 just and giggles,I'm Cal.
Lord, have mercy. I told you I make Pinterest
words for each character. You.

(01:16:46):
You. You don't even know the you.
You you come walking back in andyou get the full jaw drop to the
ground, tongue roll out of the mouth just from from Scooby.
Don't. And Daphne just kind of smiles
and tussles her hair a little bit.

(01:17:07):
So are we ready or is there someother business we got to send
to? Seems like we're ready, we're
just loading up. I mean, now that I'm not mutated

(01:17:30):
Ivana, would it be potentially safe for me to at least go to
the edge of the islands and kindof scope it out for y'all?
I don't I. Wouldn't set foot on the island.
I don't see a benefit. I mean I can breathe underwater
with my clothes that I have, so if y'all want me to go swim

(01:17:50):
around and do a little Recon. There's already an advanced team
going out to put oil around the edge of the island, yes.
I think we did that already and my feet are still sore.
You have not done that. Oh, we do that.
Is that us or is that like a team?
Of ships OK do you all want to go with them or do you all want

(01:18:13):
to fight and defend the cannon you're.
Basically manning the cannon. Daphne's going with without a
doubt she wants to see the spot season call to in person.
I mean, that's the that's happening before the battle

(01:18:34):
starts, so wouldn't that team beback by the time the battle
began? Well, that's assuming that there
is a truly a battle like yeah, have like an intelligence to
like center a defense. Plus, if we if we surround the
island in cold flame, there's noway they can get off of the

(01:18:55):
island. So we would only have to deal
with the ones here on the mainland.
And that is assuming, and that is that is assuming that they
get kind of notified that something's happening.
Yeah, you don't know if. There's a hive mind thing going
on. I thought that they were doing
the they asked us to do the spreading before the battle,

(01:19:18):
kind of. Yeah, so that way they can't get
off. Give.
How do you all want to go about doing that with that?
I mean, I can start to swim. I got a cloak of the manta ray
that gives me with the hood up, I can breathe underwater and I
have a swimming speed of 60 feet.
So yeah, do. Do you remember the dogs getting
pulled below the surface? Is that going to happen?

(01:19:40):
Oh oh. Yeah, I can breathe.
Yeah, we probably. How would you like to know what
was the? Right.
Shouldn't we have now? Let's ask scary lady what What's
in the water? Things.
Promising. What kind of things?

(01:20:02):
We've never seen one oil. Nobody has.
No fisherman has dragged 1 ashore.
The many fisherman have gone missing.
Oh, my plan was we load up the cart with all the stuff that you

(01:20:27):
want me to spread some oil, It sounds like I get on said cart.
I'll go with. This and cast gaseous form on
the cart which would be which would.
Also affect non living things. A willing creature you can touch

(01:20:48):
along with everything is wearingand carrying a willing creature
into a misty. This is how we did it last time.
You guys. You do it on me, was.
Living. That's why we.
Get to do that. We're doing it.
Yeah, God damn it. Or it said anything that is on
the character, right? Yes.
So if you can't schedule form onme, form on me and I'm gripping

(01:21:09):
the cart. Nope, you are not carrying the
cart. The cart is getting yeah.
Well, I can hold it, It didn't say.
Now if you want to. Have did it say carry or hold
it's. 1. Wear that horse.
Have like 2 barrels or somethingmounted to it.
You could do that. It's like it says wearing or
carrying specifically. Yeah, I guess we'll do that with

(01:21:34):
the the horse. You got some good sturdy draft
horses around Ivana. I mean, with I can hook a little
confused with the mechanics is alittle bit.
I'm not going to laugh, but. I'll I'll whole draft team

(01:21:58):
horses would actually be best because then you know, they're
technically wearing harnesses that are attached to all of each
other there and as soon as one turns into gas and no, that
doesn't work. Damn it.
I will say that one horse, it's rider, and anything that is
strapped to its saddle counts asanything is carrying.

(01:22:19):
You got anything bigger than horses?
No, just kidding. Well, I mean, so it'll it would
be essentially to right unless soldiers want to go with this,
but other than it'd be me and Scoopy, two horses and four
barrels. Yeah, we'd need more barrels

(01:22:45):
than that to cover the whole peninsula.
I mean, I don't really have anything movement related other
than stuff that I can only cast on myself.
Other question, GM is this oil inside considered to be?

(01:23:09):
I don't know. It says choose an area of water.
It's not water. Like choose an area of water to
what? He wanted to cast control water
or something like that. Yeah, couldn't he be like Moses
and part the lake and we could just walk her off?
Control water is not that powerful.

(01:23:30):
I could create a bubble around us though.
You could go under that way, butnot absolutely.
Could. But that is not something that I
want to do because we don't wantto go to the island.
We just need to get to the peninsula and.
Wait, namely have to go to the island to code it?
When that would we resume? Or was it the peninsula?

(01:23:52):
We're going to the peninsula. Start a wildfire on the island.
Oh, no. OK, in that case.
Wildfire of cold flame. Well, I mean, if you all just
want to send me over and see what happens, feel free.
Definitely. I just had, I just had a theory,
but maybe you could fill it in the rest of the way, Velma.

(01:24:15):
So if we had like a ramp on the side of the a barge that we just
rolled these barrels down right and launched them just enough
off the edge to go onto the island so we don't have to get
onto the island itself, you know, and even if it misses and

(01:24:36):
gets in the water, I could, you know, shove some of the water up
on shore and the oil would set on the shoreline and the water
would wash away because the oil so it's just on top of the
water. So so if you can.
Control water. Can you not control the oil as a
liquid so. It's just says water that.
Was while while y'all have this conversation y'all can just see

(01:24:58):
out of the corner. Yells out of Daphne doing her
make up in the corner. Just making sure she's ready for
this. But I I think that yeah, the
idea would just be to get the barrels on shore without getting
on shore because that. Well, well, then how are we

(01:25:18):
going to? Does control water extend to any
liquid? No.
It only works on water. Oh.
Otherwise, I mean I I really don't have anything that they
have used because I only have like that.
Would be insane. Yeah, otherwise that'd be a
fucking blood Bender, right? No, what if what if you sculpted
a long through out of water? We poured the oil into this

(01:25:42):
through. The oil will flow on top of the
water and then we you levitate the through over to the edge of
the island and tip it, pouring the oil out in a long bar along
the perimeter of the island. Rinse and repeat all the way
around. Then how old would it take?
Itself at this point, wait. Because you can levitate the

(01:26:09):
water, right? Why aren't we using the bag of
holding, filling the bag and then just dropping stuff on
there if Josh has a movement? And I have bag of holding.
Yeah. I mean, we could fill up the bag
of holding with all of these barrels.
I could turn into gas, float over to the island, and then
just proceed to dump things out of the bag of holding.

(01:26:32):
But wouldn't it be risky? Wouldn't it be risky sending him
just by his cell phone like? I'm gas when I'm when I'll be
there I'll be literally air unless they have something to
strike air. Can you hold the bag while in
gaseous? Form you'll have to drop it and
then empty it. That that, that'd be another GM

(01:26:55):
question. I mean, we're gas.
You wouldn't. Have to drop Gash's form to
empty the bag. How far does Mage Hand extend?
How far across is? This.
I mean, yeah. Does anyone have fun?
Familiar. 30 feet, this mage hand.
You can have the mage hand tip the bag as the boat sails along.

(01:27:16):
Oh, or I can travel mage hand atthe same time that I turned into
a gasser's form. Have the mage hand float around
with me. Command the Mage Hand.
Weigh 15 lbs. Damn it.
The what? Bags of holding weigh 15 lbs.
Darn. So that you can't do what

(01:27:39):
they're proposing. Oh yeah, I don't really don't
have anything to use because most of my spells are like aid,
enhance ability, detect magic, cure wounds.
Remotely useful is misty stuff, but I don't even know.
I wouldn't be able to get acrossthe river I don't think.

(01:28:00):
How long? How wide charges?
To last you the whole perimeter of the island.
Got it. I got it.
I got it. So we'll just go along on the
barge, assuming you have, I knowwe have the one gentleman here
who helped us get here. So I, I, and I think we've seen
some other boats in port. So we could just load them up,

(01:28:25):
go around the island, dumping them off of the boat into the
water, and I could use the waterto shove the barrels on to
shore. But then we just.
Have trolls oil? We don't have a perimeter.
Well, the, the, the, the oil presumably is going to be lit on

(01:28:50):
fire of some sort, as that's what my guess was.
So you would target the barrels,it would explode and then
produce the flame. I would, I would.
I would do my best to make sure it's in an even pattern around
the island. But aren't we OK?
I'm confused. Aren't we using the cannon to

(01:29:10):
bombard the island and set it onfire?
Yeah, I think. This.
Correct me if I'm wrong because scary lady is the one that said
they were going to do this. I believe this is a ring to
prevent things from fleeing. I'm imagining it like the the
soap ring you put around a cat, a cat's neck when you do the

(01:29:31):
flea bath. Right.
So then essentially all you would need is these oil barrels
strung together with string floating in the water in a ring
around it. You don't need to get them on
shore. You just take your boat, go
around it. Oh yeah.
I mean, if it's any sort of oil it will float on water.
Which you have a How are we going to light it if it's in

(01:29:53):
water? And if it's on the water, they
could just go under it. Have you ever?
And once they burst, if there's a current, the current could
just wash the flaming oil away from the island.
That's true, but aren't there a bunch of like flying creatures
too those? Are going to get to us no matter
what we've kind of. Accepted.
That. Yeah, that we're.
Kind of. We've got a A contingent of a

(01:30:17):
Rifleman, it sounds like. I mean gotcha.
I don't really have any items ofuse either since he it's
established that I probably shouldn't go in the water, but.
Bag of beans. I could huck the entire bag of
beans. I've got the.
Island and just see what happens.
I've got the only really useful things I got is my I still, I

(01:30:40):
still have three things that alchemist fire and I've got the
clothes and then I have my 10 foot whip with teeth on it.
Definitely hold on to that alchemist fire because that we
could use to light the oil. I mean, I already have, I
already have Hyrotechnics for that.
So either way, we're not coveredfor that.

(01:31:01):
The barrels of oil space spaced periodically around the island.
That could work if you have ships completely strung in the
the island ready to shoot them all at once and explode them to
light that fire just before we shoot the cannon.
Because basically we want this ring to be deployed and on fire

(01:31:23):
before moments before we launch our attack.
Right. So things can't.
So we need enough ships to surround the island for this to
work. Do we have that?
I look to scary lady. We can get.

(01:31:43):
Yes, OK, this might just work. Have have Scooby push the huh?
I was just going to say if Glasses agrees then I'll do it.
Yeah, you just got to get the barrels in position with your
your water powers. I mean, if there's anything I

(01:32:05):
can do to help if y'all want me to run around the edge of the
island on foot then. You're not setting one toe on
that island. The only other crazy thing
you're going to have to figure out, and I'm so sorry for this
GM, is my wild magic and how many times I'm going to have to

(01:32:26):
cast Shape Water. How many times can you cast
Shape Water? It is a CAN trip.
Shape Water. It's a.
It's a. It's yes.
Yes, it is. All right,

(01:33:02):
we are going to, while you are doing this, make because I'm
going to, you know, this is how you're doing it.
I'm going to say that you do eliminate a lot of the threats
of anything on the mainland, like they're not going to be
able to get you. You are the biggest threat to
yourself. You're going to have six wild

(01:33:23):
magic surges while you do this. OK.
In order, and we'll see how longit takes until you blow up.
Or if you do. All right, whenever you're

(01:33:56):
ready. Give me that first wild magic
surge. D100.
D100. I think if there's anything I
can do to base this, but I thinkI you just got to go.
Yep. Also pretty useless right now,
but that's OK. You regain your lowest level
expanded spell slot. Yay.

(01:34:19):
In the beginning of the day. I was like, I mean, I can
increase you guys hit points if that helps, but other than that,
you're kind of on your own. Might need that eventually.
Because I I have aid and I can pick up to three creatures and
increase y'all's hit points by 5for.
I think that would be wise to cast.
OK, I'm going to use one of my second level spells for slots

(01:34:41):
and cast aid on Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby.
I think I'm being generous and not through myself.
Give me a second while Magic surge.
So y'all each have five extra contemporary for 8 hours 66. 6.

(01:35:03):
OK so I guess you can choose notto deal three like because it
says up to three creatures you choose take 4010 lightning
damage, so I guess that can be 0.
Some of the monsters. Yeah. 3rd.
I just aim it at the island. 34 Maximize the next damaging spell

(01:35:28):
you cast. Give me four yeah 70 each
creature than 30 feet if you becomes invisible for the next
minute. Don't worry, it's fine.

(01:35:49):
I'm just going to keep doing this.
Everything's fine. Come.
On Oh no. Just Daphne's up in the
watchtower watching with a spyglass 'cause she just sees
floating barrels moving along the. 5. 59 again.
Again. Yeah, get your spell slot back

(01:36:10):
and six. 81. You can immediately take an
additional action. OK, you didn't cast fireball and
you didn't reverse gravity, so congratulations.
Yay. You have successfully placed
about with the help of some bargemen and the rest of the

(01:36:32):
gang. You've successfully placed about
30 barrels of oil around the edges of this forested island.
OK, now we get to light this picture.
I start. Sweet.
Oh wait, no, I need to stay around here with the barges so
that we can all light it up. And Yep, I give the signal.

(01:37:01):
Almost like Daphne was up in thewatchtower and to signal to
everybody down there by the Cannons she just uses power
technics and launches fireworks.I'm holding the chicken in one
hand and the frying pan in the other.
Like don't touch my dinner bro. I'm a lake.

(01:37:24):
Edge. I'm walking to and fro with a
purpose around the the cannon giving orders to what I I can
only assume I have a crew to move all the the heavy stuff.
Yeah. So everyone's guessing the the
ground crew was ready to go let.Me, get your minis.
You're going to need those. I'm on a boat here.

(01:37:59):
That's not a good place to pastewho was present.
Like actively here. I think so.
Is it only I'm back? You were.
The Cannon crew. I think Shaggy was going to be

(01:38:20):
there. Cap I'm.
Wherever y'all need me to be at this point because Daphne
signaled y'all so. I'll be on the cannon crew.
These guys will stand in for ourcannon crew and I need to get,
oh, you weren't here last time we played.
That's right, I need to get a Shaggy.

(01:38:49):
I'm on a boat. It's technically the chickens
here too. I got my flip is.
Loading up the cannon, getting ready to make the first fire
when you see a signal, fire up on a nearby peak go up.

(01:39:16):
Like on the mainland. Like on the mainland, Yes.
Daphne gets her spyglass back out because she presumably still
has it from the watchtower and just looks in that direction.
There is someone watching in that direction.
You see someone that lit it standing at a different
watchtower. What if they look like?

(01:39:39):
Someone like they're someone looks up at the Flame park.
Someone's coming, Something's coming.
From the mainland. Yeah, on the mainland.
We better light it up. Oh, I'm not there.
Sorry. So I, I'm guessing we

(01:40:01):
coordinated this all before for these signals.
We didn't really talk about that, but if they have a signal
to signal that they're ready, weshould we launch our signal to
tell them to light their barrels?
Well, the their signal. They know that we know that they
know. Oh, you mean our signal is just
to go? Yeah, like, yeah, your signal is

(01:40:22):
just fire that cannon. OK, how do I how do I roll for
this? Make a ranged attack roll with
as if you were attacking with a weapon you're provisional with.
OK, just a moment. I'm selecting.

(01:40:44):
The jaw edge, all those temporary points that I gave you
already to you on this thing. And then plus the 1D8 from my
meals. Is that to hit or is it temp,
temp health health? That's to your total Max health,

(01:41:06):
not temporary HP. Oh.
Can I cast Bartic inspiration real quick?
Yes you can. It is a reaction.
OK, so that gives me a. Cast Bartic, inspirational Velma
and. Guidance.
Daphne's going to do what she usually does.

(01:41:30):
So I'm not sure if this should be my eldritch cannon for the
attack or a gun. I'm guessing it would be the
cannon. No, you just said it was the
same. It'll be.
The same. It'll are they not the same
attack. No.

(01:41:52):
It'll be like you're using your gun now.
Your elders can is a spell attack if I believe you
remember. Correct, it is, yeah.
This is like using a gun. OK then I will roll for my gun.
Just a second. Did you do attack?
OK and the the 1D6 is to attack or damage for Bartnik

(01:42:12):
inspiration? Whatever you want, you get
confused. To attack, I don't know if you
can add it to damage. Let me read, OK?
Normally. Like.
I mean I don't know how that y'all do this because you want

(01:42:33):
to do a different book. It says if you fail you can use
the dice. No, hold on.
Because I have it pulled up, it says once within the next hour
when the creature fails AD 20 test, the creature can roll the
Bartok inspiration dice and add the number roll to the total,
potentially turning the failure into a success.
So it is to attack them, not damage.

(01:42:58):
OK, so here's. The one ability check, attack
roll, or saving throw. OK. 15.
Plus the guidance from me. Oh then did you do plus A1 so

(01:43:21):
16? I think you still get the 1D6
though, no? That's only for.
Fail. Oh yeah, it's only for fail
rolls. But I hold on to it.
Yeah, you hold on it, on to it for the next hour.

(01:43:42):
OK, you. They came with his big ass
cannon and the very early takes as you detonate it you can and

(01:44:09):
the projectile launch from it isso large you can watch it like
someone lobbed a volleyball overthe as it sails towards the tree
and lands somewhere near its base with a small mushroom cloud
of dust and black powder smoke. You are immediately all of you

(01:44:35):
hit with what can only be described as a scream that just
shatters your eardrums. Like it's like tinnitus times
20. Shattered my eardrums.
I need everybody to make a Wisdom saving throw.

(01:44:58):
OK. Immediately followed by some of
the barrels going up. Only some.
If you look through the spyglassyou can see that some of the
barges the men are laying there unconscious.
Well, I'm gonna go ahead and take it.
I failed that wisdom saving throw.
I don't even got to let's. See here we got a 10 that is.

(01:45:20):
So I got a one. Nine.
That is a fail. Wait.
Why did I? I didn't click a second time.
Well, we're going to take the top 119 pass.
That was weird. That is weird.
I got a one. And I don't know why.
See how it says wisdom plus one and then it's empty at the

(01:45:42):
bottom? I don't know what the heck that
second one was. I.
Don't know what that is. You got a MAT one that is a
critical failure. Well, I didn't get a net one.
I got a 2 and then I got my -1 SO.
Oh. OK, that's different.
That is different. Yeah, because this game is nicer
than Pathfinder in some ways. My failures, You're going to

(01:46:08):
take 24 second damage. OK, I'm still alive.
Good. It works for me.
My passes are going to take 12. Cool.
OK. I'm sorry, is anybody deafened
or anything or no you are not? Or are you being nice?
As you like come to and shake itoff, you feel like one of your

(01:46:35):
eyes is seeing the world differently than your other
because it is around you. It's like one of your eyes can
see into the astral plane while the other is seeing the portal
plane or not the astral plane. The other one the the.
Ghost Ethereal. Ethereal Plane.

(01:46:58):
Thank you. Yeah.
And you can see that this tree in that eye is stretching up
into the void above and well beyond the haze that normally
extends and covers this world. And it's a.

(01:47:18):
Little disorienting. It's very disorienting.
So wait, can everyone see this or just the passes?
Everybody, excuse me. Everybody OK and then?
When you say that, what the hell?
What the fuck? When you say the tree is
stretching up, oh sorry, go on. You cannot see where it begins,

(01:47:45):
nor where it ends in. Fact.
OK, so it's not moving. It was like that when we first
saw it. In the ethereal plane, yes.
OK. It's like it extends on forever.
In fact, you get more of the. You know how Magnolia trees,
their branches will reach down and for take root?

(01:48:05):
No, I've actually, I've actuallynever seen that.
It's something Magnolia trees will do if they're not tripped.
So it's kind of like they like duplicate duplicate themselves
in ARM. It is more like it is a singular
branch of something much more massive.
Daphne's going to kind of back back up towards Velma in just a

(01:48:26):
little bit. Wait, so are you saying the tree
looks like the genesis of arms reaching up into the sky or it
looks like something from the sky is reaching down to the
earth? Yes, the second one.
So Thelma Fisher, you know, the smart one, what do you think

(01:48:47):
about this? Reload.
Though everybody begins to reload, it will.
This motherfucker takes two turns to load.
I'm casting cure wounds on myself so I'm at 4 HP.
I'm not risking that. As the are the trees starting to

(01:49:10):
catch fire? Yeah, quickly begins to burn.
I did. How do I do this again?
Alright, 'cause I'm I'm casting first. 8 plus whatever the spell
says. It's whatever the spell says.
OK, so 2 D 8 + 3. Which one's the D8 again?

(01:49:34):
The one above the D6. Yes, it's the.
You're a good. 1 that it. I have 7.
I got a net one again. Wow, that's just.
For the first time. Well, I mean, well, yeah, pretty

(01:49:54):
much, but. That one is different than
calculated one. That one is much worse.
Needs. Well, I'm grabbing with some
peoples. Just random dudes.
You want to see the skeeziest looking motherfucker to ever
like, be published in any official material?

(01:50:18):
Yeah. This is from Paizo Pathfinder.
Look at this motherfucker. He reminds me of the Lala Fells
or whatever they're called from Final Fantasy 14.
I love final things. He kind of has that vibe, Yeah.
He's definitely got like Papa Limo energy, I'll give you that.

(01:50:40):
Like all of them are either cuteor pervy.
Yeah, yeah, I will play on FinalFantasy 14.
I know. Me and Jacob had a whole
conversation about my favorite Final Fantasy characters and
that's the whole conversation. People that role play lala fells
fall into two camp 3 camps. The people that made them as a

(01:51:01):
joke character. The people that made them.
Because how do I say this nightly?
No, there's no way if you're attractive.
Say it. You know, I'm I'm probably
meaner than you. And then there's the third group
that just wanted to play a cute little guy but kind of serious.
But the other two camps make them feel really icky being
this, so they stop playing it and play something else.

(01:51:23):
I mean, my forever favorite Final Fantasy character will be
Snow for as long as I believe so.
Two men come running out of the woods.
Daphne jolts around. Daphne jolts around with her
hand on her whip. Immediately this.
And as. If what's coming a.

(01:51:45):
Bonus action. I ready my attack with my.
Well actually if I am the one launching the cannon, I actually
can't. I have to use my action for that
then. He showed me.
Did you want to do something like that before?
You see it? Let me find the exact thing that

(01:52:09):
was the inspiration for this motherfucker.
I need to roll a wild magic as well.
Section Rage. I think I've linked this to MAD.
Whatever you say, you take inspiration.
Let me get nervous 'cause I knowwhat your favorite movies are.

(01:52:29):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You hear a chant. We are.
We are coming to the youth of the nation.
We are. We are.
Like in it's somehow discordant and also harmonic at the same
time. Youth of the Nation.

(01:52:52):
And it's in a language that noneof you can comprehend.
It speaks. Anymore.
Yeah. I hardly look at Velma anymore.
Even you would not have known it, it is.
I don't like that I'm listening to it right now and it's making

(01:53:12):
me uncomfortable like. Good.
I'm not scared, I'm just a little like, it's kind of icky.
Like this is only where I have to describe like.
Somewhere between if you speak giant it you feel like you know
some of the syllables. Let me see what languages I

(01:53:34):
speak, because I don't think yousay it.
Lord drop? No like this is a little bit of
a Lord drop. This is like how most languages
in Europe evolve from Latin, like all the are like ancient
languages, Yotin, Draconic and all that evolve.
Well, I know Draconic. Primordial Hilden.
It is older even than primordial.

(01:53:56):
Proto, proto Euro, Euro, Asian or something like that.
Proto European or it was there. That's the language.
Out of the I can already speak alot of languages in this game,
so Daphne is just still kind of looking a little lost.
It strikes I'm going to use a a mini that doesn't fit the model

(01:54:17):
because I looked I did, but the best thing I could find was
this. What are you taking inspiration
from so I can Google it? That's the bad part.
OK, what comes out of the tree line looks at first like a
drieder. It has long, spindly legs.
What's that? Centaur, but like the top upper

(01:54:41):
half isn't dark elf and the lower half is a spider.
Oh, cement dry isn't like drow, OK.
And out like it's akin to a drier in the.
It's how about humanoid 8 legs? With a humanoid torso covered in

(01:55:03):
scales of chitin and eyes. Its mouth is full of needle like
teeth and it has two large claw like hands.
One of them looks like it is full of like crushing teeth,
while the other one has a razor's edge and rising up out
of its back, you can see what look to be like, similar to

(01:55:30):
like, you know how like fungi, whenever they go like moles go
to spore. They have the spore, the the the
stalks. Yep, yeah.
You see? Similar like in like haphazard
pattern rising up from its exoskeleton fleshy stalks, each

(01:55:51):
of them ending in a human head, each enchanting a different
verse of this song as it approaches you.
These are the The heads look to be dead in the eyes, but
continue to chant as it emerges from the trees.
Spooky scary skeleton. Well, I'm glad I'm not there to

(01:56:17):
see that. And then Shaggy said it.
Or. I started rolling this range.
The two. Men that are running, yeah, take
up positions on either side of you and level their right, their
muskets at it. We are going to be rolling
initiative. It it, I know it's like 9:00
over there. Do y'all want to try and get

(01:56:38):
this done? It's.
It's this might be a good place to I don't.
Know. Once like it's like we can get
it started and wrap it up next time for sure.
The only question I have I guessis is there anyone else left
alive on my boat? Your your boat's doing all

(01:57:02):
right. Like they woke up, like they
didn't get knocked out. You said roll initiative or we
went? Boy.
And or we're debating whether ornot we try to postpone.

(01:57:24):
I feel like we should keep this rolling because I feel like this
is a fight that's going to last while.
Yeah, we want to get through probably around 45.
Habit of making fights last as long as I feel like they should
fight. That's not but yeah.
I. Can't say anything.
I've had I've had boss fights last for for four or more

(01:57:46):
sessions. I believe so.
I got a Did you take inspirationfrom just the song or did you
have a other inspiration for this?
Because I need a visual. I couldn't find a visual.
There is no visual really I. Don't know.
The way my brain works is you can describe something to me and
I can't picture it, but I have to be able to see something

(01:58:08):
similar and then I can kind of. Like you could look up like one
of the more classic like DND like visuals that kind of like
ties to this. It's not like classic DND, but
it is like classic pop DND. Like when I have picture what's
coming out of this thing's back.Like you could look up the false
hydra, except just put like realpeople's dead heads at the end

(01:58:29):
of it. Like they've the neck is very
like reminiscent of that. But the pictures I just looked
up are disgusting looking like. Yeah, it's supposed to be.
Hold up. I got AI, got a reference.
I got a reference. I think we think I forget the

(01:58:50):
name of it. Anyways, did I just erase
y'all's initiatives? Nobody's world initiative yet.
OK, I haven't. I was waiting.
Also as this thing was coming down the hill, could I have
moved like to hide behind the cannon?
Yeah. OK, I'm not doing it.
I'm up, right? I have to be able to operate
this thing, so I don't want to be in the fight with the

(01:59:11):
creature. That it's going last.
Did it roll in one? It rolled in that one.
Yeah. Well, it might not be going
last, but you know, it's it's. Power on the full word put or I
wrote a six, the six. I don't know why this is rolling

(01:59:31):
twice for me every time you. Might have.
It do you have two guys selecting?
How do I check that? Right click.
And right click what I believe. I have over.
Hydrated no advantage would looklike my role right above that or
it's. OK, it's going to be a second,
so you'll have time to figure this out.
Because you're like Internet is just lagging and it's just

(01:59:53):
sending the signal twice. OK, OK.
But it's going to be a minute because while you're wearing
this, I just heard Jacob say. I over hydrated myself.
So. We'll just have to go with the
first one I rolled in each time.Yeah.
I rolled a full earth and. So.

(02:00:17):
What numbers? Man.
So you got a 19, you're and you got a 19.
OK. I don't have to think about
going first then. I.
I'm like, I'm probably second tolast if I had to guess.
I have two weeks finalize my plan.
What are you planning on doing this?

(02:00:39):
No, two weeks. You have more than that because
that was the good campaign that you came back in next next
recession should be evil campaign because.
We if it isn't it just neutral? What?
Well, it is technically. I mean, so you could you, if you
haven't then and you're ready bythen, we could do it.
But just so you know, I think. I'll be ready.

(02:01:01):
OK, my my list is growing. I'm trying.
I'm still trying to look up thatreference that I can drink.
Some plenty of. Water think of will you?
Often do that. I've got secure physical

(02:01:22):
location, gear up meeting plan ahead, spread influence.
Yeah. I'm gonna put a picture in the
cat and I want you to tell me ifit looks similar to this because
I think I have a reference pointmaybe OK also.

(02:01:43):
Also, I think we've got 2 nineteens. 2 Nineteens and A6
Why, what? What did the creature roll
again? It rolled in that once we it's
on initiative 9. So I got last.
Great. What's your initiative?

(02:02:07):
I calculated that I wrote a 4 + 2 is 6 or last.
Got to set your initiative add turn you go before the NPC's
that I may go at turn 0. All right, let's.

(02:02:32):
Kick around counting it for real.
This thing screaming causes me to scream in response in fear as
a bonus action rage causing a wild magic surge as I run
towards this thing and I scream.It's your fears, man.

(02:03:00):
Only part of that came through. Yeah, the first it was kind of.
You got to like, face your fears, man.
So I'm running up in bonus action, raging to cause a magic
surge in fear. Give me that random roll, that

(02:03:23):
percentile. 1B100 Let's go Big money 54 mom Blindness.
Come on, blindness. That one was so opie.
You're immune to being intoxicated for the next 5 to 6
days. Oh no, how are you going to deal

(02:03:44):
without the Mary J everyone? Clears up the first time in 20
years. What am I doing with my life?
I was a lawyer once. All right, and then I will use

(02:04:05):
my action. Let's see, wrong character.
I used my action to swing at this thing twice.

(02:04:27):
Oh, your wild magic's different.You didn't roll on the
percentage, you roll AD 8. I was thinking that there's a
lot of stuff on this table that doesn't apply to a barbarian.
There 6. 6 Until your rage ends,you are surrounded by multi
colored protective lights. You get a + 1 bonus to AC and

(02:04:47):
while you within 10 feet of you,your allies gain the same bonus.
Oh boy, it's so pretty, man. All right, And then I'm going to
swing up this thing twice using my cold iron frying pan.

(02:05:08):
Add an additional 2D8 to your attacks.
That's sexy to the damage, Yes, Yes.
About my kind of reference pointfor this monster, I think it's
called the Rotten from Dark Souls.
That's kind of what I'm picture.Is that the thing that you

(02:05:32):
linked? Yeah.
It's not quite it, no. It's definitely like an
amalgamation of corpses, but there's a lot of monsters that
are just amalgamations of corpses.
So 20 and then a natty 1. So Dirty 20.
Yeah, that'll hit. OK.
And then a natty 1 that will nothelp, right?

(02:05:58):
So damage for the first will be this +2 D 8 + 2 so 6 plus 2D816
so 22 damage. Too bad, not too bad.

(02:06:23):
Like get off my lawn. All right.
That's my turn, trying to keep it away from the group.
Scooby don't. Fucking no, wait, I am.

(02:06:48):
Why is Velma's initiative of 12 I don't.
Know what you wrote? A 19.
OK, it did the oh. Advantage.
You're not really good advantage.
So the indie is doing this weirdthing where it's rolling twice
every time I click and I don't know why.

(02:07:08):
It's development. Next, go to your character
sheet. Yeah, and.
Let me I might be able to do it for you.
Actually no, because there aren't character sheets listed
on roll 20. OK, so there should be a button
or like a gear near where you roll like somewhere that allows

(02:07:28):
you to turn like advantage and disadvantage off.
I'm just rolling dandy. Ground to the right, so yeah.
Nice baby, honey. I mean I what do you mean where
near you? Near where you roll?
Because I just clicked the box that says initiative.
I can't remember. It's been a hot minute since

(02:07:49):
I've looked at all that. OK, let me do a test roll of AD
4 just to see what happens. Yeah, D4.
OK. Don't have disadvantage so.
Did you roll that in the in roll20 or in your character sheet?

(02:08:09):
Character sheet. That's only where I roll, so let
me do a test of AD 20. What do you roll AD 20 in your
character sheet? Baby, Yeah, it's rolling twice.
You're being such a fussy baby. Baby boy and I don't.
Know how to change it? One came through for the D20.

(02:08:32):
Really. I see a three and an 8.
Oh, no. Oh, that was the D4.
OK, OK, So that worked. Yeah.
Great. This is weird.
OK, sorry, custom and. You don't.
Oh. Roll custom rolls typically let
me get on roll up, Ding D beyond.

(02:08:53):
I've only been rolling in the D beyond since I started from SO.
I just got a probably navigate to it myself.
Let's see here. Hello Grand am, long time no
see. Yeah, if you right.
Click on one of your roles, any of your roles.
It shows up whether or not it's on a flat, an advantage, a

(02:09:13):
disadvantage. So maybe you right click on your
initiative. I have flat one die checked.
Should be fine then. Weird.
OK. Well, going forward, we'll just

(02:09:34):
see what happens. I guess.
So with my turn, can I launch the Canon or I have to take the
turn? Canon is still being reloaded.
OK, do I still have a bonus? Action.
You. Two, and these three schmucks
are the ones in charge of reloading it if you just want to

(02:09:56):
do like your normal stuff. Oh, I know that.
That's why I hit OK. Yep.
OK. They're going to take 22.
They're they are they together, are going to take two turns
reloading this motherfucker. OK, Shaggy, what's his help at?

(02:10:17):
I am at. About half, so 31 at 55.
OK, I am going to plop down a healing cannon.

(02:10:40):
I didn't even know you could do that.
Yep. With my my action, it takes my
action to place it in my bonus action to fire it.
So my action I placed on the cannon.
Definitely. That's what I kept shooting you
with when you were outside looking at that creature to
begin with. Yeah.

(02:11:01):
Or maybe maybe I was shooting Shaggy when he went to go rescue
you. I don't remember.
You were shooting Shaggy? Because I have no recollection
of that. You were also unconscious, so it
may have been you. And let's see, for my bonus
action, I don't know if I have anything besides my cannon.
I mean I think you gave him temp.
HP and that's what brought him up.
What? I think when you you had given

(02:11:24):
him temp HP with your cannon andthat's what brought him up.
Oh, OK. I got no regulation.
GM do you does anyone know if I can shoot my cannon the turn I
place it or is it like somebody's sick?
No, I'm going to get to. Shoot.
OK then I'm temp HP to Shaggy. Yeah, very good.

(02:11:55):
Yeah, nice. What's the range on this thing?
OK, this thing has a lot less range than I thought.

(02:12:16):
OK, please hold while I figure this out.
Really, it has to be that close.OK, think of it like a force
field generator. OK, can I have a token for my

(02:12:38):
Canon? Let me find something, it might
be a little jank. OK, ideally my Canon looks like
a a little like mechanical spider, but I'll take anything.
Most of the tokens I have saved are not mechanical dudes, so

(02:13:00):
give me. Did you ever play Final Fantasy
12 and you know in the minds there the treasure chest that
mimics that turn into little mechanical spiders?
Or any Final Fantasy games that might have those.
I have not the only I. Forget it has been that long I

(02:13:25):
prob I. Never played those games.
Though imagining the. Fights all of them, and I've
loved every single one of them. Got you.
I think I've got you like. 15 years ago long.
Art Nouveau style metal lattice work in the legs.

(02:14:07):
Very pretty. Can't see it from here, but very
pretty. Here's your little guy.
Sweet. OK, so before I place him, I'm
going to work backwards from this.
Oh, I need to control him. I can't control him.

(02:14:30):
Oh, Emily, save changes. There you go.
Thank you. So he needs to end up here and
you can walk 15 feet. So 5/10/15 do I place him down

(02:14:50):
in the square next to me or on me?
How does that work? Square next to me.
Typically they ride with like onyou they.
Don't have to. If the spell has.
To Yeah. If the spell has a range you
should like the original castingsummoning portion 2, then it
might be within that range that you could cast it and summon it.

(02:15:16):
Second, how do I close this? Why will this not close?
It wants to be naked. I can't.
Minimize this bar in my sheet to.
I want to break free. To re.

(02:15:39):
Oh, there we go. There's the midnight.
OK, OK, reading, reading. It doesn't say so I'm just going
to assume I put it down to this space next to me.
SO510152025I place it. It walks 5/10/15.

(02:16:02):
It has a range of 10. It cast the 11 points on Shaggy.
OK, it still works. That's all.
Really only read your 10 that. That feels bad.

(02:16:22):
Normally you normally with that you like wear it on you and
you're supposed to be a gish right up front swinging swords,
basically a magical, a magic swordsman, A magically supported
swords person, OK, using spells and or in your case, technology

(02:16:44):
to be upfront, like it's intended that you wear it and
then you get a little bit more durability for a front liner of
that version of that type. It's like a paladin aura,
essentially, yeah. Well it doesn't need to stay

(02:17:04):
near you. You have the temp HP.
Yeah, you could totally just plant it on someone.
But like or can walk around and heal people.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
But it can be targeted too. Yes, it has an AC.
Right, Scooby, don't. I continue lighting barrels on

(02:17:38):
fire that did not get lit if making sure that all of them are
on fire. I don't know how long or how
many that is or in which direction the closest are, but
that's what I am doing. With my turn I can cast

(02:18:00):
sorcerers burst, producing a fire damage of sorts to do the
do the do the work. OK.
So are you. You're using regular fire and
not the coal fire? Oh shit, do we have some coal
fire on board? Yeah, they've got like torches.

(02:18:23):
OK. And then like.
Flaming arrows that they can use.
Yeah, I get everybody on board with a plan to to start doing
that. And we, we, we all do that with
the Flint, with the with that instead.
All right, so that's how you spinning your turn.
You can see the island is as thefires begin to like spread into

(02:18:48):
the forest. You can see horrors beyond your
comprehension, scattering like rodents before a wildfire.
Some of them try and make it into the water, only to be
dragged down underneath by something in the water.

(02:19:14):
Others, as they run along the beach, you can see that like
roots will rise up and as they're running in fear, snag
them and drag them under the loam.
It was very much the correct idea to not go on to this island
it seems. And it seems like it was even
more correct idea not to let me go in the water.

(02:19:37):
Yes, yes, correct. If my friends were here, I would
try to tell them to get whatevermonsters they have into the
water. Shaggy Stern.
But they're not. That's Scooby Stern, rather.
Yep. Yes, Sir.

(02:19:59):
A monster's turn. Right, it's big meaty claws.
Going to attempt to grapple Shaggy.
I forget how grappling works in this system.
But and tested strength check orI can choose decks as well and

(02:20:22):
since I'm reaching brother I canadvantage.
He wrote like shit so. 9, 17 and.

(02:20:42):
Then it's going to make a secondattack with its Cutting Claw 23.
Definitely has. 9 slashing damage.
Temporary the temporary HP sex at most of it.

(02:21:08):
Thank you. Focusing on the see that the
mouths of the they called it thechoir earlier, the mouths on the
back of it begin to chant in unison instead of their
discordant chanting from earlier.
And let's see here. Boom.

(02:21:31):
I need to stuff something in my ears.
No, no, no, no. They're casting the spell
measurement tool circle right here.
Sounds good. I like circles.

(02:21:54):
I need all you all to make a dexterity saving through as as
they're chanting, insects begin to stream out of their mouths
and form in this area. What is it with me in the lower
rolls I'm fitting? I got 8 with my with my thing.
So you got eight? Yeah.
All right, That'll be a fail. I wrote a three bro come on.

(02:22:22):
Or what about Velma? You said Dexterity saving
through, yes. Pass.
For some reason it's still real choice.
I don't know, but it's the 19, not the 20.
I think in the top one. Yeah.

(02:22:43):
All right, seven damage for Velma and 14 damage for.
Dad, I'm dead. I'm unconscious already.
What? I only had a lemon HP from y'all
throwing me in the fire. No, you were healed after that.
You did not take damage from that for like the third time
Brother I. Put it and it.
Didn't say the damage. The damage was from striking the

(02:23:03):
tree and the mind backlash that we got.
Yeah, that. Oh yeah.
Then I'm still down 'cause I diddo that well, and it 'cause I
healed after that. So yeah, I'm unconscious, all
right? It's your turn, make a death
saving throw. A what?

(02:23:26):
A death saving 16. Pass.
How does that work? I've never been on like.
After three successful death saving throws, you are no long.
You are unconscious but not dying.

(02:23:47):
OK, all right then. It's a dip, shits.
ABCDEF&G over here. The four main crew, gunner crew,
like aren't freaking out, but they are diligently loading the
cannon. The other two level their rifles

(02:24:10):
at it and take some pock shots. Boom, that'll hit.
The other one also hits, so I'lljust combine their damage
together. Let's see here.
Probably the only person to be unconscious throughout this
whole thing. 26 + 26, so 26 + 632.

(02:24:48):
All right, Shaggy. Seeing that this thing didn't do
great against me, I'm going to, gosh, I'm going to grapple it.

(02:25:22):
OK. So a contested strength check.
Jesus All right 12. 19. Yay, Barbarians.
And then I am going to manhandleit and drag it off screen

(02:25:44):
further away from my allies intothe water.
Can you move? Something larger.
Than you. Larger.
Than you. You can go up to 1 size larger
than you, yeah. OK, I know in Pathfinder there's
a feat to let you do that. There's there's a bunch of ways
that I've played a character before where it was a grappling

(02:26:06):
build where you do Goliath and then enlarge and a bunch of
stuff like that. And you can essentially
eventually you're. Going you're going to drag it
off screen. Yeah, I'm trying to.
I'm trying to move it away from the Canon so that it can't
damage it so we can continue doing damage to the island and

(02:26:26):
then use my second action to then attempt to shove it prone
while grappling it. All right, it is off screen.
And go ahead. And make it prone wait second
action. Yeah, I get 2 attacks as a as a
barbarian and grapple is a grapple.

(02:26:51):
Shove is a special attack action.
Fair enough. So it counts as attack.
Hell yeah. Many grappling builds.
It's one of my favorite melees. Grappled.
Let me just see. I want to make sure grappled

(02:27:13):
doesn't impose disadvantage on this thing.
I think it does on its attacks. Graveled speeds become zero.
Oh no. Yeah.
It doesn't, it just it just can't move.

(02:27:34):
So prone is what will give me advantage on this thing
eventually. So it's still the contested
strength. So an 18 and a 23.
All right. They shove this thing down to
the ground. It is on the ground.

(02:27:57):
It cannot move and it is now prone.
Well, I keep. Shooting.
Not Daphne. And I was like, I'm unconscious
regardless and I know what I meant so.
Oh can I can I free action hack my thing of pre made treats

(02:28:20):
towards the group? I don't think that's a free
action, but I'll allow it. Hey hack my thing of treats
towards the group. Oh.
Can I try to catch it? Yeah, sure, Athletics trick.

(02:28:50):
God damn Velma. Hell yeah.
What's? Wrong.
Oh. Yeah, I.
Think. Oh, it's already adding the one.
OK, yeah, I think I'm seeing something here.

(02:29:11):
Nothing I I'm incorrect. I had a hypothesis but.
For what you. Just or why her roles are being
weird. Oh.
So it's my turn. It is your turn.
With my bonus action it. Will say that cashing it was a
bonus action or no. It can be the turret, nevermind.

(02:29:35):
Yeah, I want the bonus action tobe the.
Reaction. SO1510 I guess I could have
walked one more. I'll just stay here and then I'm
going to give Daphne temp health. 13 Temp Health.

(02:30:01):
Thank you. Welcome.
OK. And then no.
Huh. Not so unconscious or no.
That would wake you up. Uh huh.
Technically temp health isn't supposed to, but I disagree with
that so. The creature is invisible now.

(02:30:23):
It is awesome. It is.
Crown Yeah, you hear the sounds of Zoinks and like, Shaggy
wrestling with a giant crab monster in Crabs Fighter Crab
spider horror. OK, I cannot.
Can't though. You can.
You can see it. It is.

(02:30:43):
Oh, it's in the woods. Yeah, you can shoot.
You can shoot it. It just has partial cover.
OK, it's too far anyway because I only have a range of 30.
Well, you can thank Shaggy for saying he drags it off screen.
Get it away from you guys. Oh, it's to the north.
I thought it was to the to the West because Shaggy's to the

(02:31:04):
West. It is right here.
Didn't they load the cannon? Shoot that bitch.
Well, they're in the. It takes two turns to load it.
It'll be fireable. And does Velma have to fire it
or do these guys fire it? They can fire it, but you
probably shoot better than they do.
OK, that I can't walk too far away from it.

(02:31:24):
How many health does Daphne haveright now?
I have whatever you just gave meso.
OK with my action. Can I?
Can I give her a Scooby snack? Yeah.
That'll that's temp HP. It'll override what you gave
her. Oh.
Yeah. But if you.
Can move 15 feet. It would be within 30 feet of

(02:31:49):
the creature because I can only move it or 20 feet.
If you go right, I forgot. Back to the cannon and still
shoot it. Where's the creature again?
Can you ping? It's right off screen right
here. It is just off the map here.
I'll, I'll have put it on the map.
There you go. OK because I I can only shoot 30

(02:32:10):
so five 10/15/2020 5:30 I would have to move to here to shoot it
where it currently is. Right.
And then you can move 15 feet back. 25 But I can't.
I can't break up my movement before and after I shoot.
It's OK, right? If you can.
Oh oh. Movement.

(02:32:31):
You can use it as much as you want.
The movement is the unsung hero of a combat.
That's why Rower goes to Bath and.
Where do I need to be to shoot the cannon?
Can you ping? Where you'd expect.
But I wouldn't want to stand behind the cannon because of the
recoil. Or is that not a thing here?

(02:32:52):
It's a 5 foot square around the cannon.
Yeah, sure. You can stand any anywhere, any
one of these three squares OK that are adjacent to the cannon.
510 15. Because you'll have movement

(02:33:13):
speed next turn to get back to the Canon too if you need.
Yeah, OK, so I'll stand here andI will shoot.
Ha. What?
Fuck. Yeah.
I'm completely reconsidering what I want to do.
Not 20, so 24 total. Right.

(02:33:37):
Yeah, OK, So what do I do for this?
I roll double damage. I am fond of the roll and then
add Max damage to it rule for D&D.
Oh OK so just roll 1 normal and then add Max?
Yes. OK.
Because the technical rule is like you roll and then double

(02:33:59):
what you roll, but that can result in you like rolling 2
damage crits and fuck that. Yeah, OK.
So let's see, 8 plus Max damage would have been 13, so 8 + 1321.
Am I math and right? What are you rolling for Damage

(02:34:20):
2? D Sixes. 2D6 plus one.
OK, so 13. Yeah.
So 8, So 21. 21 damage. You're putting a hurt on it.
Yeah, can I blow up a face? Yeah, he blew up one of his

(02:34:44):
heads. And then I'm going to skedaddle
back the rest of my movement. All right, Shaggy.
About that. Scooby.
I mean the the Scooby looks so much like a fucking Shaggy.

(02:35:06):
I'm sorry. I'm assuming that we're still
doing that because there's probably, I don't know, like I
said, I don't know how many barrels and how many boats that.
Were you know? I need to give you something to
do. Yeah.
You put a good number of the thefires going and apparently they

(02:35:29):
can't easily cross the water to begin with.
You feel a rumble and on the land you see, Well, I guess you
don't so much see it, but they do.

(02:35:52):
That's a bad color for this. Let's get a better color for
this. Sinkholes begin to open up.
In the water this is happening too, but it manifests as

(02:36:16):
horrible swallowing up water, soyou and the crew are going to
need to make a Dexterity savingsroad and avoid falling over the
boat as it begins to be drawn towards a rapidly growing world
Whirlpool. When you said the crew, I
thought it was going to meet. You meant like the crew and I
was like. 11. You fall prone in the boat, as

(02:36:52):
do let's see here. Boom, boom, boom.
The whole crew. The whole crew falls prone in
the boat. The baby and.
Start getting dragged towards this small, this growing
maelstrom. Seeing the results of the fire

(02:37:18):
doing its job and presuming thatit whatever it doesn't get the
creature in the water will do, Idecided to cut my losses.
I don't know how far away I am from shore, but I'm going to use
my movement to get back up from prone then and cast gases form

(02:37:40):
and float over to the surf shore.
Not you abandoned. You're right.
Either those homies, yeah. I ain't dying like that.
Scoop don't ain't going out likethat.
Give me everyone on the team is their choke.
What do you? Give me that.
One people away. Somebody give me a number
between 1 and 100. 88. Sucks to be them.

(02:38:08):
As you turn into gas you see thebow begin to tip in and just
this massive tentacle. Emerged.
From the other side of the maelstrom, grabbing the bow and
something crawls onto the boat. The last thing you hear is their
screams as you fly back to the shore.

(02:38:29):
Bad I'm not them. I as as.
As a gash. I had a family. 14 beautiful
children. We'll say that I grabbed using

(02:38:53):
everything you have, you managedto make it here, or no, you
managed to make it exactly whereyou're at.
For the sake of next turn, you may not want to be there.
You may want to be more like here.
Yeah, that's a good point. I also was going to say that I

(02:39:17):
only have 10 movement speeds. While I'm flying like this.
Yeah. So I don't know how.
Far away I am, there's a helpful.
Breeze OK. So that you can do something,
yeah. And and also, out of sheer
remorse after hearing that, would I have been able to grab
anyone else to come with me likethat?

(02:39:39):
I don't know, can you grab people in?
It says carrying or carrying so when I'm casting it.
Make a strength check and get and or an athletics check and I
will see how many people Scooby don't can reasonably carry be
considered to be carrying it's. -1 bonus let's and that was a

(02:40:03):
not too. So we got A1, not natural.
You didn't save the soul. I tried my best, did.
You did you try your best. You know what it's a heroic
action. I will give you a what do you
call it an inspiration because y'all came up with a pretty good

(02:40:24):
plan. I want to give everybody an
inspiration right now Let's do it.
Thank. You.
What does that do? You can use it to reroll and
roll. Oh, it's the Heroic
automatically stabilized. I think that that's might be
Pathfinder, but I'm still takingthat.
Is it the heroic inspiration button?

(02:40:45):
Yeah, OK. Basically, get to give it back
to me and your character isn't dying anymore, but you're not
dying anymore anyways, so. Yeah, thankful.
All right. Grab monsters, turn.
Let's see here, you're tangled up pretty good with it.

(02:41:09):
I'm going to need you to make me.
A. Where is it?
Yeah, Shaggy, you're going to need to make me a Wisdom saving
throw. No.
That's not. All the heads turn towards you

(02:41:30):
and just glare and begin to justeach whisper like horrifying
things to you and you can begin to see them in your mind.
I close my eyes so I don't see. Doesn't matter.
Wisdom saving. You're fucking all right, all

(02:41:55):
right, all right. What's your oldest son?
Looks like. You're immune to fear while
you're raging, right? Pretty sure me luck.

(02:42:15):
Alright, 'cause he just cast Phantasmal Killer on you.
Rage. Fivey Rage.
I think I have something I want to do, but I gotta ask questions
'cause I don't know how it works.

(02:42:49):
No, I have to be the path of Berserker to get immunity to
fear. You are frightened and you're
going to take 26 second damage. But fear is the source of my
range. Yeah, that makes this worse.
No, you know what you're. Right, 56 damage.

(02:43:13):
No. Well, that puts me out.
OK, so that puts me down. I am now at 7.
And it. How could she?
Will it? It will.
Survive, but the way it's been rolling.
Give me the contestant strength check.
Sure, because it's prone I believe.

(02:43:37):
Oh yeah, you're right, I have a disadvantage.
No, only on a, only on attacks. Oh, well, still trying to
escape. Yeah.
So 19, No 18. Oh.
Come on, baby 23. Yeah.
It doesn't escape. Alright, Daphne.

(02:44:03):
Can you explain to me how snake attack works?
Like would I be able to do that if I can get close enough?
Yeah, you would. You would have the
qualifications for sneak attack work.
The qualifications are either there's something within 5 feet
of it, or you have advantage. Let me look at my thingy.
Or you're a swashbuckler. Or you're a swashbuckler.

(02:44:26):
Daphne is not a Swashbuckler. That would be Kalimba.
That is not Daphne. The core requirements are
advantage or somebody within 5 feet.
And a finesse weapon. And a finesse weapon, yes.
Which I have I think. No, no sneak attacking with a

(02:44:49):
great sword. As cool as that, a whip is a
finesse weapon, right? Yes.
OK is sneak attack a bonus action or a regular action?
It's tight. No, it's an add on.
The attack. It's a just a damage add on if
you have the right conditions. I don't think I'll be able to

(02:45:09):
reach it there to do that. Actually, my whips are.
You a rogue Bonus action there aroad there, Yeah.
I can what? You can bonus action dash is a
rogue. What does that do?
It gives you a double movement speed.
Hey, you get to move another 30 feet.
Another 30 feet I can definitelyreach it 123 I come about there.

(02:45:39):
I would say I think I kind of right and my width is 10 feet
and let me look one hold up. Let me look at what learn a
second sneak attack. I do like extra D6.
Let me look at my whip. OK, let me do the math.

(02:46:04):
It takes four regular damage. Oh, all right.
Doesn't it have something for? I wrote a five.
I'm not even going to hit it. I wrote an 11.
So 11 total or hold on, I'm in slow.

(02:46:31):
What do you mean? OK, did you add your attack
bonus to attack to the attack? What did you roll an 11 on the
dice? I roll an 11 on the dice.
OK, add your Dexterity and your proficiency.
So Dexterity +3. Plus this one.
OK so dex plus tips with how I roll.

(02:46:55):
Then I got a 16. You hit.
OK, we do the math on this. It takes 1 psychic damage and

(02:47:16):
eight regular damage. Wait.
Damage. Got it.
Is it immune to psychic or something?
Maybe. And then?
So that was your bonus action and your action and your
movement action. Go ahead.

(02:47:41):
All right, Shaggy, we should. Probably it's just after 8 and
we're now at the top of the round.
I'm just saying that, OK? I'm just saying that depending
on how Velma does, this might bethe right last round.
Just hypothetical. Oh yeah, because we're shooting

(02:48:02):
the cannon. I got it all right then I will I
will just smack this thing twice.
I. Miss it, sorry I forgot to roll
for do tweedle Dee and tweedle dum.

(02:48:24):
And you're not referring to Scooby and Shaggy this time?
No. OK, go ahead, Shag.
So I swung twice at advantage, right two nineteens to hit doing

(02:48:52):
just going to roll it here. Yeah, those both hit.
And I will do it's 36 or 368 plus 10, 2535 points on this

(02:49:16):
thing. It's not looking good many you
cave in two of its heads and crack the chitinous protection
on its ribs. Great, I am frightened of it,
but that only means that I can'tmove closer to it.
I am already as close as I can get.

(02:49:37):
Fear causes you to run away. To attacks on it, but that might
just be I might be thinking of adifferent game.
Oh, for frightened. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
We'll take what you got. Oh yeah, it is a disadvantage.
So then I would have been the 16and the 19 since I rolled twice.

(02:50:06):
Well if you're if I rolled 4 times and you take the 1st 2
rolls. Right, you're right.
Those both still hit and we'll just it's the same damage either
way. You're right, you're right,
you're right. All right.
And then that's my action. Bonus action.
I don't have anything. I desperately need health.

(02:50:29):
That is it. Roll your snacks.
I threw my snacks, that'll be myturn.
All right, Velma, and is ready here.
Book it back to my baby. 10:15 I'm going to launch this sucker,

(02:50:51):
OK? The attack roll Buck.
Yeah. All right.
The cannon blasts into the tree and like it's bulk like you, you

(02:51:13):
hit square. It didn't like like the first
time you hit. This time that the the massive
round hits its square in the center of its trunk and you see
it explode in a fountain of viscera.
Not the like woody shrapnel you would expect.

(02:51:35):
Oh, I. Don't know what the word you
just said even was. Entrails, guts, gross worry
bits. When people get exploded, all
the stuff that comes out all mixed up.
Oh, did you say entrails? No.
Viscera. Viscera.
OH, so same thing. And.

(02:52:00):
I was just making sure I did. I actually did another word and
was making sure that I did another word and wasn't just
being stupid. Entrails are specifically like
abdominal guts, isn't it? Yeah.
Yeah, typically. Viscera is anything.
Anything. OK.
It's. Usually.
In context of things are so likepulverizing mincemeat, you can't

(02:52:21):
tell what's what. It's just like goopy gore, yeah,
is the context that I've heard viscera used in.
OK, I got it. Yeah, sorry, continue lesson
over school. School.
Yeah. They're let out.
You feel like just this pulsing around you, like it's going to

(02:52:44):
scream again. But that wave of agony never
comes. The thing that is laying near
you is still very much like alive though.
However, with that main problem handled and the fact that it has

(02:53:07):
like 5 HP left, you make short work of it.
Can. I.
I won't come back into being notgas and just land on the shores
and and and and shoot it. OK, go right ahead.

(02:53:29):
Sorcerer's burns say you're in range.
Yeah. Magic Missile.
Yep. Oh, not Thunder damage though,
but whatever. Going going fire, of course 5
exactly 5. Hell yeah, Scooby don't lands on

(02:53:52):
the shore and you hear just the sound of this projectile he
fires come whizzing by and it explodes the central head of
this thing and it falls dead. Daphne kind of happens, like she
ducks back a little. How are we supposed to just take

(02:54:14):
the head off and find out who was really behind it?
You don't, Yes, Somebody, somebody go get somebody go get
that head. We got to take the mask off
still. And think you.
You blew it up. With that you all have and you
can see through the eye that is peering in the ethereal plane

(02:54:36):
that as the fire spreads across this island, it quickly begins
to burn up the branch and out ofsight.
It is not long before the entireisland is covered in just blue
white flame. Well, gang.
We did it. We helped the cult.

(02:54:59):
Wait, I'm used to like. Hard and threw me in the fire.
The the problems of division Garat are far from over the
breed, the the political, the contextual, like the the
struggles that they will face inthe years to come, Far, far from

(02:55:25):
over. But you've just got rid of the
main cause of it all. Some unknowable into like force
like you would say that if he even turned its gaze on Divgarod
would be a falsehood. It simply was and it simply

(02:55:49):
touched this place, but it's touch caused all this chaos.
That said, if Fred were here, hewould know that he still cannot
feel his God. More to play.

(02:56:09):
Time for the. Sequel there.
It would touch me there. That is my no no square, sorry.
They fled. Perhaps they're dead.
Perhaps there's something more at play.
We add another line to the conundrum.
Carriage. Sign out on our on our carriage

(02:56:30):
to also say Ghostbusters. Well.
Legally distinct. Legally distinct.
Spirit poppers. Spirit Poppers.
Let's go, gang. We've graduated from stopping
low, low tier criminals to stopping existential threats to

(02:56:54):
the universe. An eldritch whore.
Aren't you happy you didn't die with the rest of them, Daphne?
I mean about about did. Anyways.
So paper fan. Yeah, well, part of me's glad.

(02:57:17):
Boat and go and I'm kind of sad that's not the way things went.
I had a tree and everything, butyou know, it's not exact, it's
not perfect, but it got the job done.
If y'all would have let if it ifit would have came down to my
decision, it would have been geton a boat and go.
Yeah. No, we weren't we.
Weren't fucking around with that.

(02:57:42):
But guys, we almost needed like 5 sessions to go do a kidnapping
or some like. No, you make a good point.
You make a good point. I.
Hope you or some court intrigue.Save the court intrigue for the
next flag. I feel like Daphne would have
been more of a help if if we hadgone for kidnapping.

(02:58:07):
As I said, Dev Garage still has problems.
There's still definitely a brewing civil war.
And without she. Unify them.
That is going to start boiling over.
Quickly, because Daphne spent almost his whole campaign either
unconscious or humming around, and there's no in between.
I mean you. Came into the campaign by
walking in and we were like, there's a monster.

(02:58:29):
Look, it's right there and you're like, I don't believe
you. I'm going to go outside.
Yeah. Well, I mean, I would.
I never came inside. It just kind of popped up at the
Bush, hit me and I swung at it so.
Immediately gets attacked. That and then there was all of
the bardic inspiration striptease, and then there was

(02:58:50):
meat in the crystal and getting thrown in the fire.
I would like to clarify, you were outside for a long time.
We kept on telling you to come inside and you weren't coming
inside. So technically, you were the you
know, you've seen Jurassic Park,right?
With the goat tied outside. Oh yeah, on the rope.
That we we had. We meant to do that with a

(02:59:12):
chicken, but I guess the Daphne sufficed.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, like I said, hope y'all
had fun. Yeah, which is great.
Absolutely. I mean I'll try and keep it
more. I will try and prevent scope
creep next time. Oh, it's fine.
I don't even know what that means so.
Yeah, much, much appreciated. Really enjoy it.

(02:59:34):
Thanks it. Has given me a lot of time that
I needed. We will return to our regularly
scheduled programming. Yep, Yep.
I'm going to. I'm going to miss being able to
justify being a who other than Shero.
I miss vouched so I am so ready let's.
Do I miss calendar? Can we see what the like tree

(02:59:58):
token? Unless you want to.
Reuse these token. Maps.
For other things I got a hop off.
Have a good one guys. Sweet I.
Didn't have a token, but you seethe map.
We're on, right? Now, yeah.
That's the tree there in the middle.
That's what I was going to use. Like it's scale.
Cool. That thing would have tried to
climb it. I could not probably I couldn't
find an Eldridge flesh tree so. You know, I think that might be

(03:00:22):
a little of an original idea. Checkers.
Like I Google Eldridge flesh tree and what I get is
Minecraft. But I'm gonna miss being a whole
lot of bad. AI shit so you know.

(03:00:44):
I was about to say. Go into ChatGPT and you didn't.
No, I am about to do all that my.
Wife. I haven't.
He'll be mad at me. Yeah, I have never used ChatGPT.
ChatGPT you cannot make me use generative.
AII will not do it. Jacob, you didn't hear this, but
in school I would use the Snapchat AI for answers.
Oh, I know you didn't feel like doing it, everybody.

(03:01:07):
Did that. I did it less than everybody
though because I actually majority I'm book smart, but
when it comes to anything else, you don't have to be primary.
Inspiration for this thing is what if anti world tree and that
went from there. Cool.
You just you just have to do a little favor for your wife and

(03:01:29):
maybe she'll draw you up a ultra.
Yeah. She doesn't do a whole lot of
like, horror stuff, I have to say.
What for? For her husband.
Something something. Like.
That 'cause like, that is also her profession like.
True. Well, I mean you're not
mooching, you know, favor for a favor.

(03:01:55):
It's just different exchange of different currency.
But my favorite thing about playing Daphne and Condit and
Kalinda too, I guess, is I don'tactually have to think a whole
lot 'cause they just kind of do.They don't really.
They're just like, if it goes sideways, it goes sideways.

(03:02:16):
We can work from there. Let's.
Which is very how much, very howI am.
I'm not a planner. I have trouble turning my
planning brain off. So it's really hard for me to.
Play characters that don't. No, I'm very, and that's I.
Love turning off my brain and being a big dumb idiot.

(03:02:40):
I don't know. You see see the second that
either fat that Faust or no, it had to be the the second Grand
Am dies. You all are going to get to meet
Flag and Mikulsen and I fucking can't wait.
And if either of my characters I've been granted if one, if one
of my characters dies before themurders, God forbid.

(03:03:01):
But where you're going to get tomeet my big dumb idiot dwarf
paladin either? Way I might fucking wait.
Well, depending on which campaign it is, y'all are either
going to get to meet Dolly, my wizard, or I might just put my
character that I was thinking for my campaign in that one
'cause I feel like it could be alittle interesting.

(03:03:22):
Her name is Thalia and she's my favorite of the ones I've made
other than Kalimba. You, you, you've seen my best
attempt at it at Maddox. I don't think I did a too bad
job, but I there's definitely bunches of times where I was
biting my tongue, where I was like, Nope, he's too dumb.
They wouldn't say that. Yeah.
See, that's why I don't, That's why 0 is my favorite to play

(03:03:44):
because he's kind of like he's not necessarily planning.
It's more of like conniving. Like that's more of the word I
can think of. Like he's he's not planning,
he's plotting. There's a difference.
The the only planning Maddox does is with his with with his
big hippo mouth or or fists. Yeah, Kalinda and Daphne are

(03:04:07):
very much. I feel like Dolly would be more
of a planner if I would Talia. Talia's more in the middle, but
Dolly's definitely more of a planner.
So when I get to play her, that's going to be an
interesting challenge for me to try to overcome with both
indecision and lack of planning,so.

(03:04:29):
Flagging is just a hambo. ARN.
Is also just a Hambo. Columbo.
I wouldn't say column is a bimbo.
She's more of like naive. She's like.
She's a she's, what's the term aShe's a Cali girl.
She's a beach girl. She's a.
A Valley girl. Yeah, that's it.

(03:04:50):
I should give her a valley girl accent.
Hold up. Yeah, you get her?
Yeah. Golderon is like, take
everything, like take the singlemost stereotypical dwarf you can
distill him into like a pseudo and like pour that distillation
into a suit of armor and that's Golderon.
Like I I fucking love Golderon. I feel like I already kind of

(03:05:16):
give valley girl like if if a valley girl was a southern
twink, that's. Does not compute.
Like I have the personality for it and I kind of have a little
bit of a vocal fry. It's getting there.
I hear it. And you also tell me I have the

(03:05:40):
gay lisp, which I still don't know how to feel about because I
don't hear it. But I've mentioned it to other
people and they agreed with you.Well anyways I will catch y'all
later. Have a wonderful.
Night. Thanks again, I got to get ready
for work tomorrow after a week and a half off was our owner.

(03:06:08):
The owners of the restaurant went on vacation and he posted
like the view from my shower andit was just a beachfront view
You bro like. Well, nice little vacation.
I've been kind of bored along with me not planning a bunch.
I keep busy like I just, I don'tlike just sitting around.

(03:06:34):
So this is kind of, this is kindof been a little bit of a
challenge for me and my patientsbecause I get bored easy and
when I get bored, I eat a lot. So I've also been trying to
like, you're not hungry, you're just bored.
Go sit down like. I used to chew on ice chips or

(03:06:54):
like vegetables. That I mean my mom, like she
eats ice, but I think that's 'cause her iron's or something.
I think that's a sign of it anyways.
But whenever I get the urge to like eat 'cause I'm bored, I
just go take a nap like. I'll usually my my go to now is

(03:07:18):
to make tea. I'll make a cozy little cup of
tea. Yeah.
That's a herbal if it's late at night.
High school. My trick was frozen veggies.
You know, like the bag of mixed vegetables.
I snack on those or playing popcorn.
Very interesting experience. In the nicest way, it's I kind

(03:07:39):
of knew what was coming up just a little.
I didn't know the whole of. The fight.
No, I don't know anything about that.
I know his inspiration and I knew what was going to happen if
somebody else ate the other crisp.
