Episode Transcript

(00:14):
Hello fair listener, welcome andthank you for following our
journey on meta gaming by Rum Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the campaign

(00:35):
Alilopolis. Talking, Craig.
It's a. Great.
It's Tara. The Hand of Fate tosses.
The dice rolls, spins, turns. The campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that become stories.
Stories flow out into the infinite sea, painting with
legends. Legends.

(00:56):
Legends wash up on the shores throughout the infinite sea,
fading to myth until myths are forgotten and the campaign that
gave it birth comes again and again.
The Hand of Fate tosses the dicerolls, spins, turns.
I will go through lost my place.Hitherto we left our adventure

(01:41):
as known as the rum rollers in Socrates.
After delivering the breath. Nope, one more.
Here we are. The other two.
We left our adventures known as the Rum Rollers after they had
rescued Socrates from losing their magics to the mana thieves
and being rewarded with a flyingAdune and a 1% bag.

(02:06):
A 1% bag of shareholding with plans to take down the
professional necromancy cult. The Rum Rollers take flight to
the Lava Tower. On route, they meet with the
goddess Zenith and Godblono in their draconic forms.
The Goddess of knowledge Zenith informs the Rum Rollers that

(02:26):
they should begin their path to ascension at the peninsula of
Chui and warns against facing the PNC at this time.
During their discussions on whatnext steps to actually take, the
Rum Rollers discover an encouraging note from Lono on
the seed of a giant grape that Admiral Mimi had been given,

(02:52):
saying that they can defeat the Rum Rollers and he believes in
them, or defeat the Shadow Seekers.
And then they are called by the Shadow Seekers to the Infinite
Tower in Ishmael's domain where Mimi, Rural and KIRO sign a

(03:14):
contract to not become gods and eliminate the God's presence
from the their solar system as it stands on tariff.
Also to help also they they agreed to help the Shadow
Seekers eliminate the PNC with Franklin creating a side deal

(03:37):
with KIRO for his protection until the book passes hands in
100 years that he holds plans laid out.
The Rum Rollers awake once more in their corridors in Adune and
agree to agree after a hearty breakfast to face the PNC with

(03:58):
their recently acquired holy water cannons and explosive
growth seed planting. Let's find out what happens this
time. At that point is also probably
good to explain that the wizard formerly known as Matt Nygamp

(04:26):
had finished during a eurythmic veracity, a re tuning with his
own body and no longer resides in the ring that Nimoway
carried. But on is jumping off the table,

(04:50):
so we will start there as soon as my brain can figure out,
yeah. I don't have a mini technically.
Well. You would put yourself inside of
that. The flux.

(05:14):
Yeah, the flux. I'm a.
Robot. Yep.
Oh, that's why my table looks a little bit different these days.
So we will bring everyone here just for visual.

(05:44):
So you land on the table that you are now familiar with
through your other character's eyes, though with a page
underneath you that says the tariff.
The path unfolds dot dot dot andthere are a bunch of mundane
items around you. I.

(06:10):
Stop for just one second. I don't move.
I look around and I soak in the moment and I kind of remember
the path that kind of took me here, both for people who
weren't here the whole time and anyone listening.
I am character created as a duplicate of myself from the

(06:37):
real world who schemed their wayon the Tareth by converting or
make turning their body into an object and storing their soul in
an object and then smuggling it to the planet.

(06:58):
I have now succeeded in resurrecting myself and I'm at
the table. I am now a giant robot.
I have a duffel bag on my back and the first thing I do, look
around, take one step to the side, put the duffel bag down,

(07:21):
unzip it, take out a number of items first a thing of chalk,
and I put an axe directly where I spawned in.
How far away is this axe from the end of the table?

(07:43):
You said the table was 70 by 120.
Depends upon which end you're talking about I guess, but you
could use your ruler there we the center of which looks like
65 from the long end and like 15from the short end.

(08:06):
Wait, hold on, this is a different size than I remember.
So what I will do? I'm going to move to one end of
the table without touching anything.
I'm keeping my mind focused on staying here.
I sit down centered without touching anything and I take out

(08:31):
the spell components and cast private sanctum centered on
myself to cover the entire tableexcept for a 5 foot sliver on
the other end. Private sanctum and I will post
this or a link in the chat. So as a gist, you make an area

(09:00):
within range magically secure. Because I am level 11, I have
components and the ability to cast spells.
The area is a cube. When I cast it, creatures cannot
be targeted by divination. There is no teleport into or
outer out of the area. Planar travel is also blocked

(09:22):
within the warded warded area. So doing this, I have now
secured myself on the table so that I don't automatically
teleport off when I time out. Taking a breath, I unpack the

(09:42):
rest of my items. Inside the duffel bag is several
arcane focuses. A number of packages for labeled
with spells for components. A feed from a mango tree. 11

(10:02):
potions of greater mana. Thank you Emily for finding
those. One potion of level 12 for 24
hours that I have acquired from running the one shot.
A sack of 25 astral diamonds. The mask of true sight from the
one shot. An infinite bag of holding that
was created after. Just let everyone have a piece

(10:27):
of the fabric of reality. A Sentinel shield, a rock from
the arenas of the gods, labeled rocks from everywhere we've
been, and and a item from a duneand from the cities of Socrates
as well as some Andrew Sphinx's body fat turned into oil and a

(10:51):
black Lotus flower in a picnic basket filled with cured meats,
crackers, cheeses, fruits, veggies, and bottled wine.
So first I put on the ring of mine shielding protect myself
and then I put on the mask of true sight.

(11:13):
I cast and maintain detect magic.
I have Eldritch Sight as a feat which allows me to cast this at
will. I have a passive perception of
35. I drink the potion of level 20
and I start right before I drinkthe potion of level 20.

(11:35):
I'm tapping my torque, the one that is connected to all of me
and I say this is prime initiating 54321 and then I
drink the potion. I then cast shape change to

(11:55):
become a bronze dragon using oneof one level 9 spell slots.
I shape change. I use the shape change shape
ability of a bronze dragon to become an arch arch mage to make
myself look like me again. I then so the I had rolled the

(12:18):
spell component or the spell that was gained from the greater
mana potions a little while ago.So I have a resource of the 88
spell levels that I can use. So I drink potions until I get
my level 9 slot again, and I will do that continuously as I'm

(12:42):
about to cast a shit ton of spells.
So I cast wish to create a largeitem worth up to 25,000 gold.
It is one of the, if anyone's ever done one of those like ship
modelling things, you get those little plastic pieces that have
a bunch of the parts all kind ofinterconnected by little spigots

(13:06):
that you break. This is the same thing.
It has a large crystal or a large gold basin or a large a
large adamantine basin or tub init.
It has 10,000 gold worth of material from the table it has.

(13:29):
Let's see. The only other thing I need is a
number of diamonds and other spell components.
I won't go through the whole list because that will take 30
minutes. Once I have done this and stowed
them away, I will then walk to the center of the table again

(13:49):
and then I will cast creation toform.
Or I will take out a small picnic bag or like cloth from
the bag, lay it on the ground, lay out the picnic.
And then ritual cast divination,which is a bell that allows me

(14:10):
to contact my God. And I'll ask up to one question.
I get a yes, no, etcetera, or, you know, whatever it wants.
And I look up at the at the sky and I say, Micropolis, would you
like to come watch the show? And while I'm waiting for a
response, oh, go ahead. You you'd probably get a

(14:35):
response almost immediately saying I've been watching the
show and I love it when a plan comes together and a portal
opens up like right in the middle of the table right where

(14:56):
you're standing more or less andyou're looking at it profoundly
and sitting on the other side isa being is the only way that you
can describe it right now. It kind of shadow esque with
some of the lights that are playing about at a table with a

(15:24):
cup. 2 cups of what look to see seem to be steaming tea as you
look at the teapot. Oh my friend, I figured you we
could share a meal before everything happens.
Do you walk through the portal? She beckons you forward towards

(15:49):
it. Sure.
You walk through it and end up feeling gravity reverse around
you and oh, I gotta make those. Not on the token layer, I guess.

(16:12):
And sitting at the table with you or sitting across from where
you walk through the portal, youcan recognize from a very faint
memory of when Rural first jumped off the table, a large
emblem that looks to be inscribed into wood that you're

(16:33):
standing on. And you only suspect that you
might be under the table right now.
And the emblem is of two halves of a, of a tree, one presumably
that the, the roots and the dirtthat is the bottom half and the

(16:57):
leaves and the branches of the top half.
She sits just next to that with the table in between you guys,
and she has her hair pulled backinto a bun.
At this point. Looks like we're in order of
some business and the rest of her attire is that of a Shaolin

(17:23):
monk almost, with the orange robes and everything.
Does he does she have a Big Bluearrow?
Nope, she still has all her hair.
I'll, I'll sit down and I'll place out the food that I had
brought. I, I sit down and just for her

(17:46):
for for her to eat. Yes, of course.
Everything is almost ready. Well, it's nice to meet you in
these realms as it is Wizard formerly known as Matt.
But just the wizard now I think.Wizard.

(18:08):
I'm done with my. Old world from with my old life.
I can respect that. And then she digs in.
She takes a bite and says, well,I think a formal introduction of
myself is an order, and says you've seen me in the past

(18:33):
during the rhythmic veracetes. I am nothing.
I'm the in between, I'm everything.
I'm the edge of the coin in between the two faces, and I'm
the line between the two hall halves of Ying and Yang, Give

(18:55):
and take, push and pull. I'm nothing and everything.
For you to take the next steps forward, you need to define who
you are. Some things might be in order

(19:16):
for you to finish before you cancontinue.
We need to talk about the elephant in the room though, and
you've been busting the 4th walls for everyone else.
What about yourself? What makes life worth living for

(19:39):
you? Once you figure that out, you'll
be able to take those next steps.
Well. My words are freedom, but what

(20:12):
makes life worth living for me? Indeed.
Life, everything the wins, the losses, the.
Heartbreak. The turmoil.
You have time to Mull it over, Ithink with your plans that are I

(20:34):
will, I will grant you assistance in whatever you need
furthermore, but that is my question to you as you delve
deeper. Wow, I am still young.
Check back with me later and we shall see.

(20:55):
But for now. There's business to attend to do
and I while she has done this, Ihave been eating from the table
using the spork that I have gotten from Franklin.

(21:17):
Now would you like to watch? Absolutely.
We will have to leave this underside here.
Die. She takes a step back from the
table that she's summoned. You can only tell because as she
walks away it all disappears. At the center of the tree, I'll

(21:42):
open up the OH. Go ahead.
I was just going to say as a description, the food that you
were tasting was by no other words descriptible than
heavenly. I pack that away and I walk to
the center of the tree and I place the bag of holding on the

(22:06):
ground. I open it up and then I cast
wall of stone followed by shape or shaped stone.
I take the stone wall and I shape it into columns that enter
into the bag of holding and eachcorner holding it open and then

(22:29):
a small platform on the other side say we should be able to
enter now and then I flip into the bag of holding created from
the fabric of reality. And as I do so, the scene kind

(22:53):
of shifts a bit and you see tariff and its surrounding
planets, and then it the camera kind of zooms out and you see a
giant bubble that is the shroud that keeps everyone in.
Inside the shroud is the table. And then outside, out far in the

(23:14):
distance of space, I suddenly pop out into a small disk of
stone floating in the void. So so wait a second, do I have
this right to open up the infinite bag of holding and like

(23:37):
walk into it? Yeah, it's the infinite Bag of
holding that is connected to a. Note that it's a.
It's connected to a random pointin space in the infinite sea,
and I used Wall of Stone and Shape Stone to then hold it open
and create a little platform inside.

(23:58):
OK. So are you planning on staying
there? Yeah.
What are you gonna eat? I don't eat with.
I might with, I might add with. I might add the Tiny Hut.
I believe it was or Yeah. So an opening.
Tiny Hut, Tiny Hut on one side, Tiny Hut on the other side to

(24:22):
prevent space from tearing itself apart.
I can't. Well, I don't know what the hell
just happened. Yeah, you're not a, you're not a
robot anymore. No.
May I shape changed into a into a bronze dragon which can then
shape change again? So I can shape change into a

(24:43):
creature that doesn't breathe. OK, which one?
I believe planetars or any celestials do not need to eat or
breathe is. There a time limit on that shape
change. Do you get stuck?
Shape change lasts 8 hours. There's two options.

(25:08):
Pot True Polymorph which will permanently turn you into
whatever The thing is, but then you won't get your spells or
class abilities. And then shape change which
turns you into that you really are that thing and you get your
class abilities. But it's not permanent, it's an
8 hour thing before it vanishes.OK.

(25:29):
Unless you do something about itor more, this is the only step.
OK. And you're just doing the shape
change and you're just going to hang out in the infancy for 8
hours. I can, but I have a bunch of
other stuff that I have to do inside.
So once I'm inside, I recast Private Sanctum so that nothing

(25:54):
can teleport in on this side, and then I'll cast Magic Circle
pointed outward to disallow the entry from celestials outside of
me, myself, and Michael Polis who's in there.
And then I will cast Wish using the potions that I have to cast
Temple of the Gods on centered on my space, as well as Mighty

(26:18):
Fortress and Druids Grove. These are all duration spells,
but it creates a so the three ofthem one creates a large 120
foot by 120 foot fortress that has breathable space.
So I no longer need that problem.

(26:39):
Druids Grove creates a whole other magical defenses and then
Temple to the God also has a bunch of like duration effects
that you know it'll give you like temporary HP, extra buffs
to your saves and rolls, etcetera.

(27:02):
And those will take the shape ofa giant D20 floating in space.
Then I take the giant basin thatI had created with wish, place
it in the center, and cut my ownwrist and fill it up partially
with my own blood. I then initiate the ritual of

(27:28):
the Outsider, which is a 12 hourritual.
So for anyone keeping track, I'mnow about 3 hours in the ritual
transfiguration, which Josh has a whole thing of.
This is let's see, I anoint myself and Andros Sphinx oil

(27:49):
which I had purchased in game and then the appropriate fine
dust of the planar material. So I'm using the materials that
are native to the table and thenor this space I guess.
And then I consume the black Lotus that I also have and lay

(28:10):
in the basin for 12 hours duringthe ritual.
How do you recast your duration spells that are maintaining the
D20? Because those last 8 hours.
Yeah, those those tend to last 24.
OK, Mighty Fortress is 24, Temple of the Gods is 24 and
Druids Grove is also 24. So by the time this ritual ends,

(28:33):
you are back to looking like a robot?
Or can you recast your polymorphin the middle of all that?
I can recast, I can I? I would do a glyph of wording
charged up with shape change to recast it.
And that's an automatic cast so you don't interrupt your ritual.

(28:53):
Yeah, it would be a triggered cast, though you can specify the
events that it would be triggered by.
So you'd say, you know, 7 hours and 55 minutes?
Got it. What this does is and I will
post the let me post this. Where is DD beyond?

(29:15):
Here it is. Here's the ritual from the book.
At the end of 12 hours I am bound to the body I am currently
in. My soul is and then also bound
to the realm that I am in. I also no longer need to eat or

(29:40):
sleep. Then I cast after this and I'm
I'm doing this so we don't go take up too much time otherwise
I'd spend more time on it, but we're getting to the end.
After this I cast a simulacrum using Wish to avoid the 12 hour

(30:04):
casting time. I am now at 45 of 88 spell
points and I will post this whole thing so that everyone can
read it. You want me to post a list for
you? Is that what I just did?
Oh OK, I can post it in general.Sure, or the link.

(30:24):
Yep, that's what I mean. I cast wish as A to cast
simulacrum to make a copy of myself at level 20 now
permanently in this body. And I set that all stuff stuff
aside and then the next part I take off my torque.
I cast Nistels magic aura onto it which allows me to take a

(30:48):
magical object and turn it into a non magical object for the
purposes of casting spells on it.
As well as you can choose to make it appear as a beast or
some sort of living entity and Ichoose a plant so it is a non
magical plant for the duration of the spell.

(31:09):
I then cast awaken on this non magical plant so that I will
awaken the torque to become a sentient object.
The torque blazes with a brilliant light that is even to

(31:32):
your senses, unseeable until it morphs and forms its shape into
a more or less humanoid figure. 2 arms, 2 legs, a head, torso,
and it stands probably a head taller than you at about 8 feet.

(31:58):
While it's when the light fades around it you can see eyes
blinking and a androgynous form before you and it just looks
around and go looks back to you and goes Dada.

(32:26):
Yes, I am your father. I name you Liberty.
Liberty. Liberty and liberty and liberty.
Has a nice ring. But for now, I need you to

(32:48):
become the torque again so that I can acquire the next part.
And it just turns its head, headhead sideways, looks at you, and
then falls to the ground as a torque.

(33:09):
I pick it back up, I put it backon, I sit down and then I cast
major image. For the next 10 minutes all I
see is an extremely fast blur ofimages and sounds, almost as if
someone has taken a movie and speed it up wildly.

(33:32):
And then I cast Modify Memory onmyself to forget until I ascend.
I exit back onto the table with Micropolis and I have the
semilacrum stand on the edge of the table where I did not cast

(33:56):
Planar Binding or Private Sanctum.
I hand him my Ring of Mine, shielding an arcane focus and
some pants because he's been naked this whole time.
It looks at the pants and goes what do?

(34:21):
That's true if you don't need pants buddy a hand and then I
have him stand there and then I use the 63 of 88 spell slots to
cast gate pointed at the Adune from here to there and has a

(34:46):
simulacrum enter. After that I turn to Micropolis
and I say everything is now ready.
We should be able to finish by 6:00.

(35:06):
Let's let's wrap this up. Well, I that was fun.
Let's see how everyone else receives you, she says, kind of
with a question mark. Speaking of which, I don't think

(35:30):
we've ever come up with a token for you.
Yeah, I'll have to find one. OK, well let's, let's do, let's
finish this and then we can start the real game by having me
come back and then everyone can do their thing.
I thought that was that that wasthe point.
My bad. Yeah, well, I need to finish the

(35:50):
last bit. So now look, I think I have to
do this last bit myself. I don't think you can enter in
my into the the white space withme.
I don't know, maybe I look up and I say the word freedom,

(36:14):
which is my eurythmic veracity phrase to enter my void space or
the point of creation or whatever you want to call it.
You your vision starts to fade at the peripherals first as it
narrows down into nothing but white.

(36:36):
As you look around, do you see yourself, the God of Liberty, I
guess your rural and Franklin and various other forms, some of

(36:59):
which seem to be farther back from the center where you're
starting? Turn to the others and say it's
about to begin. I wasn't expecting you to be
here, but please stand back. Yeah, including including Skip
Shaggy. All right.
Like whoa, dude. So I stand further away from

(37:24):
everyone wearing Liberty as a torque and I touch it and I say
this is Wizard prime calling allothers.
The countdown is here 10987654321.

(37:46):
And as one me and every other mecasts reality break followed by
gate followed by Wish. And from join.
Together. Yeah, I would say from everyone
else's perspective, even though sitting at the table tonight

(38:08):
that virtually that is there's abig flash of light and the as it
as it culminates into a a centerin the darkness surrounding it,
it throbs, pulses, turns, rotates in the space and

(38:33):
explodes before going back into your own perspectives of being
on a dune. So you guys all find yourselves
after having just to reiterate, been on or in rather the

(38:54):
infinite tower with rural and your other cells with So Rahl,
Mimi, Mimi, Nimoy and Cyro who all find themselves here
tonight. You all remember that being the
last thing. And then oh also there is a

(39:21):
undertone of as if just waking from a dream, and there's a
memory of being Velma for Nimoy's sake, Fred for Mimi's
sake, and Shaggy for Roarl's sake.
So there's a lot to digest there.
But you guys find yourself on the deck of a dune again with

(39:41):
the plan to attack PNC. And I pop back up as myself as I
was just resurrected. It in the come room.
In the come room, it's a good place to be.
I laugh. It's a good name.

(40:05):
You do still need to get me a token I or oh.
Yeah, I'll find one what they'replaying in.
I feel like game is going to be quite startled.
I don't even want to know what just happened, so 0.
I don't know, yeah, 00 doesn't have the at least the

(40:28):
understanding of what happened. The only reason that that that
was played out for everyone is because at least Moon May for
sure has sat at the table and has the understanding of what is
happening at this level of the game, right?
Like you, me, May has instantaneously the memories of
what just happened. And to sum it up for everyone,

(40:52):
because that was a lot of mechanical talk and spell
castings, I had essentially found the way to ascend to
godhood, which is the point of this game.
And once I but I also awoke the Shard.

(41:13):
So boilers, the torque is a likea spark of divinity, and it is
what you would use to ascend. I'd learned that, and then I
awoke that. You told us to throw them all in
a box. Well, so that.
People don't listen. You got them back.

(41:35):
Columba didn't listen in the. 1st place, yeah, I know that was
a problem, but point being is I pulled some magic shenanigans in
game or per rules and the torqueis now alive in its own respect
versus being torque, My torque, my torque is now alive in its

(42:00):
own respects. And as I ascended, which we, I
don't know if we finished that out, but as I ascended, I would
have made the content that I hadpurchased or built permanent on
the table and then handed all. And then the modify memory that

(42:21):
I had saved would have gone off,which when seen through divine
eyes would have slowed down because I would be tempted to
keep the power for myself. And I would have seen a
slideshow of the history of Earth, great speakers, wars,
people crying out for help and freedom.

(42:44):
And just a chance followed at the end with my own voice saying
if there's something you can do to help, you should.
And at the end of it, I would have decided with Micropolis's
help to put down or put aside godhood and hand it instead to

(43:08):
the creature that I have created, which is a pure energy,
energy form, right? It's a, it's an awakened arc of
divinity by itself. So instead of using a human as a
base, is it, it is its own thing.

(43:32):
And I will have created the God of neutral good.
So as of right now, my understanding and Josh can
correct me, the way that the gods are organized is that there
are the three prime deities, Manny, Alliopolis, Micropolis,

(43:55):
and then a large number of individual little human deities,
basically adventurers who got sopowerful that they could ascend.
Essentially what we're doing. And I am creating a middle one
where instead of the God of all of order and all of chaos and

(44:17):
all of balance, I'm creating theGod of simple, of neutral good,
and then I relinquish the power to it.
So I stepped down from godhood after that.

(44:44):
So. Guys, we're going to.
Be may be May is a little shocked.
I would say. Little little unsure about what
happens next. I think I think I'd ask a dune
for I think I think regardless of how this is interpreted or

(45:06):
how the party reacts, now is a good time to drink.
So I think, I think you guys going to ask a Dune for like
like a really strong wine, like a fork.
Don't forget Cyril started brewing that moonshine the last
time we played so. Maybe a shot of that too.

(45:28):
The rest of us only saw a flash of light, correct?
You you didn't even really see the flash of light that was from
that. So Mimi was the one that only
one that seen or really rather had a perspective view on what

(45:48):
was happening because the rest. Of us have no clue anything has
even happened. Besides the one shot that had
just happened of so you guys areprobably still reeling from
those memories as if having justwoken from a dream, but.
The monologue we know nothing about.
Correct. Got.

(46:14):
It but Adunae does seem to provide as she.
Says Oh yes, of course. And her tree like form goes
slack and some of her hands comeup from across across the deck
clattering just to bring her in.Both of her tree, her humanoid

(46:39):
tree form some 2 strong bottles.These are probably the strongest
bottles I have here. I do have it looks like a
Socrates speciality, some sort of port that you were asking for
Admiral. And I don't think the moon is

(47:00):
it. Moonshine is ready there KIRO,
but I do have some clear liquid that seems to be a very high
proof. That'll do.
Thank you so much Aduna, you area treasure.
I'll walk over, sit down. I could use a drink as well.

(47:20):
Thank you. Yeah, I'm.
Going to go sit down probably for a nice class support, but
then just take a swig straight out of the clear liquid bottle,
slide it out. Roughed air.

(47:45):
Yeah, so, so Brarl is here, Mattis here.
Yeah, we're both. Here you're completely aware of.
Adune would let you know, thoughsomebody did come in the come
room, but you, I guess Mimi would know.
Sorry. Yeah, well, I mean, I I would
accident. So what?

(48:07):
Listen, I've been busy with someof my chickens, right?
And I had to play doctor today. Hello.
Hello, welcome greetings. I don't know why, I said.
Well, you missed the whole thing.
Well, that happened. That's fine.
You wouldn't have known about itanyway, so it's probably better
that way, yeah. Yeah, so, so Mimi's gonna look

(48:30):
around at MOA and it's 0 for this campaign, right?
Yeah, 0. MOA 0 Grande.
I'm just be like this fine gentleman.
He's dead, although, as you can see, very much not dead, but was

(48:51):
dead, is dead, is now not dead. Yeah, you just.
Resurrected. And like, take a take a drink
out of the fork glass. The only even slight reaction
you get from Zero 'cause he chooses to stay silent this time
is his like body language tensesup a little bit and that slight

(49:13):
scale forms on his face, but other than that he doesn't say
anything. I will inform Grand Dam as he it
did not hear. Everyone is sitting around
drinking and it's at Dune. Dune's proffering of 2 bottles.

(49:34):
She'd found one of port 1 of moonshine.
And it's because as you were coming back to reality here, you
get a rush of dreamlike memoriesfrom your time on Division
Garod. And in your case, it is that of

(49:55):
being the DM. OK.
So you as. Which is all par for the course.
I think I like more cosmic horrors inking their way in my
brain. The way it looks to Matt, Matt.

(50:19):
Yes, it is a pleasure to meet you at last.
Thank you. Thank you for wearing me.
You have no idea what it's like to be a mind floating in black
space with no body or any form of sensation.
Thank you. That was terrible.
After what Matt just said, Ciro Scout.

(50:40):
Ciro's scowl becomes increasingly more obvious at the
phrase. Wearing me.
That is where he would have beenlike, no, I won't know.
What do you mean? What?
What's wrong 0? His you just say his wings kind
of ruffle up behind him. I get cold sometimes, I need

(51:02):
some extra layers and hats off everyone is noticing them away.
Is much more bubbly and happy and just silly compared to her
typical self. She also has a costume change.
For anyone not aware she is Elodron and she has recently
transitioned from winter to spring.

(51:23):
So basically personality change the the core facets that huh?
I like the vibe. Well, thank you.
It was it was time for a change of season.
But yeah, Emily was acquainted with you and she had a feeling
you would do something like this.
I'm glad it worked out. Yeah, me too.

(51:46):
About day of time. Hello, Faust.
Nope. Wrong.
You know, Grand am. That's right.
Grand am E Grand Am. My.
Oh my. A grand Am.
Yes, lovely to meet you. Now.

(52:11):
I don't intend on, you know, continuing to be playing 2
characters. That's a little weird.
So I'm going to end up being an NPC to help you guys, if that's
all right with it. But I did come with a gift and I
pull out of my duffel bag a seedthat I had taken.

(52:32):
This is a seed and it will solveall your problems.
And it looks. In the cum room.
No. So I I assumed anyways, because
of the transition, that the wizard had made his way to the

(52:53):
common room where everyone was having drinks.
There was. Yeah, I.
Came out, I came out and joined everyone for drinks.
I know you guys have a current issue, right where the seals of
hell are breaking, the PNC is about to escape and you feel

(53:16):
very overpowered, underpowered, underpowered, unprepared.
That's the word. Both could still be true.
Yes, I have created this. This is the sea of the Liberal
tree, I wag on my eyebrows. It is intended to be planted at

(53:45):
the Rift, I believe, to the gates of hell, to act as a
temper. As another stopgap measure, it
was given to me my micropolis. A small city.
It holds a small city, Grand Am said.

(54:07):
No, no, no. It was given to you by a small
city. No Micropolis, the God of
Balance, one of the three prime deities of this realm.
Is he a small city? I don't think so.
Last time I saw it was a lady with a wearing a bun.
But I think that they're, you know, the all, all knowing all

(54:29):
things. So they could be a small city.
OK. Yeah, I hand it.
I hand it to you because you're the druid.
Please take a take a look, examine it if you would like.
He looks it over an incredibly potent object.

(54:51):
That is definitely also rushes over and she's leaning over her
face kind of close to it, but she's not touching it and she's
kind of like walking in circles examining it.
So yours is kind of. Delighted.
So you're just going to standingoff to the distance, still
trying to pick through his memories of being Daphne?

(55:12):
That is his primary focus at this point.
He does. He's not remotely interested in
whatever y'all are doing. He's just in his own little
bubble for once, and not in everybody else's business
chewing them out for once. With.

(55:35):
You have Daphne's memories. Investigation role of A5 and
with Grand am holding the seed, you know that just looking at
the seed there is there was someunderlying power to this thing.
Even even without really attuning to your magical senses,

(55:56):
you can feel the magic emanatingoff of this thing.
If you want to roll Grand Am, you may.
You would have to tell me what you're doing though.
Didn't. I imagine it would be a nature
check or an arcana check. He is significantly better at

(56:20):
the nature. And.
Maybe religion depending on the tree.
What are you doing though? All three would work, yeah.
Look at the tree. Look at the tree seed.
Just looking at it, you have it in your hand, so.
Yeah, well, I don't have like spells.

(56:42):
I don't think Grand Am has detect.
Yeah, he does not have detect magic prepared.
No, but you do. You do have 5 senses.
Yeah, he's going to lick it. He's also got 6 senses.
OK, six senses. So you lick it.

(57:08):
That would definitely be nature.I would say 16.
I was going to help that a little bit.
It's already then. How are you helping me lick it?
You're going to make him swallowit anyway in.
His mouth put it around like sunflower seed.
I mean, you're not. Careful, Grand Am will eat it

(57:29):
so. No, I mean I have AI, have a
cancer, I have a cancer that canhelp in this situation.
Oh yeah. So can I use it?
Or then again, with Daphne's memories, you might also compel
him to eat it too. Yeah, exactly.
That's what I was. Can I still use Can I use this

(57:51):
cancer pro quick before you say what you're going to?
What is it? I mean, you can use it.
Yeah, absolutely. Oh hell yeah.
Alright if I'm licking. The seed is about the size of a
grapefruit, not quite as not as quite as big as the seed that
you guys have from Lono, but still pretty big, OK.

(58:15):
So is it like a sunflower seed or is it like a Peach pit?
It is closer to the sunflower seed shape, however it Yeah,
yeah. Sniff, sniff.
Flick. But it does have no Oh well, I

(58:37):
guess yeah, like the mango, but a little bit more bulbous than
the mango cause the mango's kindof like a flat seat.
Yeah, but it's looks like, it's not like you can't really bite
into it. Or you can try it, but it'd be
real hard. Yeah, I mean might need.
Some Lube might need some. Lube.
If you're trying to swallow it anyways, put it up your butt.

(59:01):
I was thinking about that with the check, but I decided again.
It's not flared. Don't do.
It you do that to a child. There I was just going to walk
up and put his hand on Grand Am's shoulder because I it's the
guidance sister touch. So just going to put a hand on
his shoulder and boost his nature checks by 1D4?

(59:27):
Any nature check by 1D4. And guidance to stack or no?
No, no. Well, this is just a good time
to cast speak with plants. I mean, yeah, probably better
enhanced ability. That would actually probably be
a solid move. I'm casting speak with plants.

(59:48):
Fuck yeah. All right with the nature check
of 16 and speak with plants. And you got a.
If you want to, you can roll it a forward to see how much
guidance asked to. You could also roll it if you
want to roll it. I'll roll it I guess.
Oh, you don't sound happy about rolling.
Die, roll, die. I got a four so.

(01:00:11):
Hey, that's. The best option but I got.
It it's not that I'm not excited, I'm just kind of dead
today. So OK, I'm doing my best.
I get it. So that makes it a 20 dirty and
you can speak with animal or speak with plants and.
You imbue plants in a in an immobile 30 foot emanation with

(01:00:34):
limited sentience and animation,giving them the ability to
communicate with you and follow your simple commands.
Well, it it would have sentience.
Oh bad. Well now it gets to talk to me.
I can also catch the tech thoughts to just.
'Cause. Grand Am just, you know, Grand

(01:00:54):
Am gets to do that daily as a ritual.
He's just going to do that. Oh yeah.
OK, as your tongue moves from the bottom of the seed to the
top as as your as your tongue moves almost close to the top, a
couple eyes appear to either side of your tongue and they

(01:01:18):
blink as you're casting that. You see Cyril kind of flinch
backwards just a little. And just from your tongue
touching it and running across it, you would know for sure that
this, besides the magic emanating off of it, the sense

(01:01:39):
of a flavor that is nearly undescribable other than
pleasant. It's a Tonka bean.
And the the eyes blink a few times and I guess you're casting
detect with thoughts because there's no mouth that appears on

(01:02:00):
the thing on the sea. And your your thoughts cross
pass with it with this interlocking sense of growth
must grow, can't grow right now.Musk can't grow right now.

(01:02:24):
Musk grow can't grow right now. It's OK, It's OK.
You can. I got just legs.
You're just you're, you're beautiful.
You're perfect. You're the second big ass seed
I've seen today and I'm so happy.

(01:02:46):
Zero's just going to watch you talk to this plant for a second.
Oh, what happened to the other big ass seed?
It's behind you. It's a. 30 foot emanation, is it
also? Cynthia now?
Oh shit. What was the other seed?
From Lono, but while. He relaxes of all seeds.

(01:03:07):
While I was talking to that one,since 0's work here is doing,
you're just going to hear him say hippie and walk off.
Yeah, I believe the other seed. Yep, exactly big.
Giant grape and I ate it. Yep.
And on the grape seed was actually the affirmation that

(01:03:29):
you guys could could to defeat the PNC.
Oh. Cheese.
Yeah, but. You ate it.
What about an affirmation? And that that seed awakes behind
you, I guess, grows little legs but nothing else, and starts

(01:03:49):
like ramming into the walls of the ship, just wandering around
and your detect thoughts. For that is only perceiving the
the thought of must impregnate Earth, must impregnate Earth,
must impregnate Earth, must impregnate Earth.

(01:04:12):
Taurus watching the seed run around.
I'm going to attempt to cast command and halt it so that way
it is kind of collected and he can't bother me.
What is the? What is the command halt?

(01:04:34):
All right. Legend burns a legendary resist.
You've got to roll, I believe. What do I have to roll for that?
It is a Wisdom saving throw for a plant.
All right, 18 roll to 16. But it's, it's a plant, so it's

(01:05:03):
pretty wise. It knows what it has to do, you
know? Where do I see what you got to
be at? You should.
Be. An attack slash save.
You should be your spell safe DC.
Where's that at? In your spell spell list at the
top. Oh, you beat it by a lot.

(01:05:28):
So it still continues to wander into the walls, just.
Dune, are you able to summon extra rooms?
Yes, I could do that. Could we perhaps generate a a
cabin that would suit this need,the seeds needs and comfort it

(01:05:49):
and allow it to settle? Oh, what?
But don't not any dirt. I'm going to assume we'll put
these things in dirt. It'll be bad for a 2 day.
So you just like, walk over and like try to grapple the big seed
that's walking around. Perhaps a nest of blankets or
something that's simulates dirt?Bunch of paper towels.

(01:06:17):
Whole dark room so it hibernates.
Seeds do that sometimes. Yes, that's true.
Yes. Let's put it into dormancy.
Yeah, but I'm like, Viva's goingto be really concerned that like
it's hurting a dune that's just going to walk over sort of like
spider monkey. One of the stipulations on the
spell is that they follow simplecommands, at least from me

(01:06:41):
assuming that like it's not already sentient itself, and
stop. It stops stock.
Still, as you bear hug, grapple it mum Mimi and you're able to
like grapple its legs that have sprouted from it and the that's

(01:07:05):
about it considering your size and the whole tea seed topples
over with you still just holdingonto its legs.
Perfect. I'm going to keep grappling it
with the enthusiasm like I will protect a dune.
You will not harm a dune. Is this the grape seed?
Yeah. Dang, someone should cast a

(01:07:26):
legend lore on this thing. I don't know if I have that and
I don't like the fact that it wants to impregnate the earth
and it's a grape seed. This troubles me deeply.
Yeah, I don't know about the other one, but this one am I
point at it? This one's a good seed.

(01:07:46):
This one is was given to me as aMac Guffin so that we can place
it on top of the rift and plug the the level of hell or the
first level of hell. But wouldn't that trap the other
group? Yes, it would.
So they're going to have to hurry.
But we kind of did sign a paper,Granddam says, touching his

(01:08:10):
fingers together. Y'all signed a paper and you see
Sanders kind of wag his finger through the air in y'all's
general direction. I believe your paper signed says
that you needed to help stop thehelp stop the influence of the
minor gods on this world. I don't remember it saying

(01:08:33):
anything about getting Franklin out.
You know what, Fairpoint? He probably needs to stay down
there. It'd be good to have an agent
there. Now.
It's from what from what I remember.
And are you? Franklin, are you betraying
yourself right now? I'm confused.
Of course, I've been betraying myself the whole time.
Yeah, Franklin really wants Mattdead, so it's actually Matt's

(01:08:55):
best interest that Franklin doesn't leave hell.
Yeah, Franklin, you know, so Franklin delayed me respawning
by ripping my eyes out, if you remember, so I couldn't use my
own body. Yeah, grand baby.
It's been a, it's, it's been a lot of back and forth of just

(01:09:15):
like, no, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
It's not a very amicable relationship, so it was a bad
horse. We were pointed in the same
direction but enemies. This seed.
Yes, it's This is the liberatory.
So the Liberatory is a last ditch effort to make sure the

(01:09:41):
first it's sealed. It's not only so it will seal
this. This seed holds some of the
power of Micropolis and Anniopolis.
If we plant it, it will reinforce the boundary there.
But not only that, it won't justsimply trap people in there.
Because if you think about it, that's not a sustainable thing

(01:10:04):
because people are going to continue to die and they'll go
to hell. And the good people that that
live good lives, they resurrect,but there's no guarantee their
next life they'll be good. Eventually everyone will end up
in hell with the current system.The Liberatri will send it to
groups. That's how it works here.

(01:10:25):
That's so fucked. Yeah.
No, that was the. That was the deal with.
That interpretation. That was the deal, that micro.
Well, think about it. So micro Minneapolis is in hell.
Minneapolis has secured it from anyone going there.
We know for a fact that resurrection is a thing here,

(01:10:45):
for the good, for good people. And we know for a fact that
people who were bad go to are supposed to go to hell.
Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it mis serve eventually
that this without a stop withouta vent would eventually explode
as is this happening? I don't know if standard

(01:11:11):
physical rules apply, but these are probably also questions we
don't have to answer. What we do have is a seed that
we need to plant, and I don't see why I'm right next to it.
We wouldn't plant this cool grape seed too, because then
like on your way in and out of hell, you could have grapes,
which means you could have wine and everybody's snacking up.
That makes people. So why don't we go play?

(01:11:35):
They can be. Friends, I don't know if.
They're friends right now, little tiny baby seeds and they
can't really think, but I think when they grow up to be big and
strong, they'd like to be friends and they'd like to have
like another tree nearby so I could have, you know, be have
the adventures because they're trees and they can't go
anywhere. But you know, maybe they could
like have. Congress.
And. Grand, grand am Ways raises his

(01:11:55):
hand. Yeah, what's up, buddy?
Do you think that grapes come from trees?
I'm pretty sure. The grape, it'll be a vine.
If you ever seen a really big Grapevine, it's kind of like a
real horizontal tree. But we used to throw.
Him back in my village before everything got burned down.

(01:12:17):
At the mention of, at the mention of bad people supposed
to be in or supposed to be in hell, you just kind of see.
Zero's eyes go wide and he scratches his head with one with
like the tip of his nail and then just turns around and takes
a zip of his drink and leaves his back facing towards y'all.
Oh that actually reminds me though you took a public stance

(01:12:42):
in the tower right where your characters like flip sides.
Oh yeah, 1. Sided with Franklin and one
sided with the rim rollers or shadows together for the rim
rollers. Yeah, so Columbus on this, she

(01:13:03):
morally aligns with this side. Yeah, the one thing I'll ask
for. Who does what he wants so.
The last thing for the Liberatri, the mechanically that
I'll get out there just so it's out there is not only does it
form a cap, but it allows peoplewho are in hell, who essentially

(01:13:28):
repent of, you know, their lifestyle and their alignment
shifts from evil to good to be reborn.
So it creates that little vent so.
Everybody goes to hell and eventually you can like come
back. Yeah, if you've never.

(01:13:50):
Ever. Well, if we get this down right,
it it's kind of like if you've ever seen the show The Good
Place at the end, they basicallypeople who go to hell can
eventually turn over a blue leafand get a second chance.

(01:14:10):
I've seen many plays, but I'm sorry that wasn't one of them.
It's a very good play. It's a motion play.
Well, aren't. They all.
Motion capture play. This is stored on on on magic
stones. Fascinating.
We'll discuss this all later. Yeah, we we're going to start a

(01:14:33):
media industry. So there was some talk about
this sea trapping the shadow seekers within hell.
I am opposed to this. Can you explain what's can we?
Can we discuss that further? How does this work?
The way that it works is it would stop anyone with an evil
alignment from leaving though. So can someone with a physical

(01:14:56):
body that's repented leave or must you die and be reborn?
I think that would be up to God's decision and I no longer
one of those, I mean. So if somebody down there is of
the good alignment, you're saying there's a chance
depending on the God's decision that they can come up here

(01:15:19):
again? I believe so, yes.
It's it's essentially a a way for those who have truly
repented or should not be there to leave.
Now, if you are opposed to the shadow seekers being trapped
there, that is simply solved by allowing them to leave before we
put the seat down. If they are, if I understand,

(01:15:44):
yes, I believe they're very close.
I close my eyes. Mommy, you can confirm this for
me too, but I wasn't here last time.
They're very close to the first level of hell.
They have the key to get to the first level and then they have a
vehicle to leave from there, so it should be soon.

(01:16:07):
Oh shit. Did the rock work?
Sure, sure. It's the keyword there.
Should. I.
Forgot, I forgot, I forgot. If you use the rock with a
flying boat, it's going to be sogreat.
Just just to confirm there's no,no drawbacks or side clauses to

(01:16:28):
this seed that says anybody who is supposed to be in hell, but
it's not it goes back there, right?
There's no. Qualifying not to my
understanding. Safe.
The Shadow Seekers were real dumb and just like walked into
hell themselves, right? Nobody sent them there.

(01:16:49):
They went there themselves. So like, really?
Yeah, they walked. They walked in.
I walked out. We weren't really there.
I guess it wasn't even. Trade believe that was only you
mommy, that was that was one of your characters.
He did that, you know. Work fella.
Just kind of, yeah. I would do something like that.

(01:17:10):
So somebody you? Know I've listened to the audio.
So it was pretty much even then since somebody walked in,
somebody walked out. So here's the real question.
If we're waiting on those bastards to get out, what are we
doing in the meantime? Pride it on our sweet flying
ship we've worked so hard for. Yeah, we've been doing that for

(01:17:33):
like grand Am begins holding up fingers like 6 months in game
time, out of game time. So we were on our way to defeat
the PNC. However we have the seed.
By plant it in the rift, do you mean the the chasm?
The lava chasm. I believe so.

(01:17:53):
So our our objective is still get to the chasm.
There's an hour in. Hell, isn't that right outside
the city? I'm confused.
We were flying there, that's where we've been the last six
months, is flying on the ship towards the chasm.
Yeah, maybe it's going to raise their hand.
Yeah, we pulled the map. So we've been down in the lava

(01:18:16):
castle before and there's like alot of lava.
I don't remember there really being any like safe, cozy little
sunlit haven for us to plant a seed because I don't think it.
I don't think it needs that it was built for this purpose.
Where's there? So that's the tower on the other

(01:18:37):
side of the hell? Or is it in this side of hell?
Is what? Is the profession PNC tower like
this side of hell or inside of hell?
Both I think. Both.
Yeah, probably bait. I assume the base is in the
first level and they just, you know, Sauron towered their way
up. And I assume that there's.

(01:19:02):
Not there yet, we could scry. For your reference, Numaway
journal up to the top right in Rule 20.
Vapgarganteum County. I just found it.
OK, Thank you, Country. Yep, exactly.

(01:19:25):
I would cast crying but it's nota ritual, sorry.
And Adune would chime in at the end of all of this and say,
well, we've reached an anomaly just before this fissure that
you guys have been talking about.
I think it's. You might want to take a look at

(01:19:46):
this. All right, I jumped up.
Wait. Now I sit down.
Run to the bow of the ship. Wizard, known as Matt, runs
inside and away from danger. I was good about to say.
Runs. Forward, I was about to say.
Me die in real life. What's happening?

(01:20:08):
I'm rural's headed out to the back of the the the dunes deck
is all it sounds like Grand Am is is as well.
Oh. There's an anomaly outside right
now. Yeah.
Oh, there's an event. And the only thing I was going
to chime into before. We're as we're.
Doing this, I guess, how has Raoul been responding in this

(01:20:29):
whole situation? Because you've been playing.
Mostly myself, probably staring wide eyed at him as well.
I mean, he, he's known about this, right?
He's been he He packed the duffel bag.

(01:20:51):
Sure. I think what he's doing is he's
starting. He's looking at his knuckles.
Now that we are in the same plane, our our thoughts are
starting to be more and more aligned.
As I've kind of played it every year, rhythmic, my characters
become a little bit more alignedin purpose.
And he reads on his knuckle dusters the name of his weapons,

(01:21:17):
the Union Busters, and for the first time ever he feels a
little guilty. And then we hear about the
anomaly and he shakes his head, a distraction, and then runs
out. And.

(01:21:38):
Zero has a question for the wizard, but that can't wait if
this is. Yeah.
No, no, no. This would be the time.
So you're supposed to be like kind of a little smart and
almost all knowing, right? No, not at all.
My name was Matt. I was a human from Earth.

(01:21:59):
I worked as a architectural draftsman.
I don't know everything. I know quite a bit now thanks to
Keen Mind, but I can answer somequestions.
I've also got a direct got or a Direct Line to God, so can I
ask? Him to you just see phone number

(01:22:21):
zero walk over to I'm assuming he would have have like his own
little bag that he would keep like near him at all times of
his valuables because he's stingy, but he walks over to his
little pouch that was sitting somewhere nearby and he just
pulls out a compass. Can you tell me what this does?

(01:22:44):
We. I haven't figured that out yet.
Sure. This.
All. This all happens before the the
anomaly so I will I will cast identify as a ritual taking 10
minutes to cast not using a spell slot though I believe and

(01:23:07):
I from my also perspective because I have a 35 passive
perception and I see into the ethereal plane with true sight
and detect magic and then I castidentify.

(01:23:29):
You would. I might not know a lot.
But I can see a lot now. I would know immediately this is
one of the God items that is from the table and that there
are many uses as the other compatriots have found for it.

(01:23:51):
But the prime use at this time would be for Zero and his
intent, which at the time of acquiring it, I believe his
intent would have been trying tofind his way back to heaven.

(01:24:13):
Yeah, fully so. The compass is directly almost
pointing up, Not N, not S, not West.
Up Well, this is a item. Yes.
This is one of the items from the table that you spawned on.

(01:24:35):
This is an incredibly valuable item.
Look at me. Never sell this, OK?
Never ever sell this. I didn't plan on it, I wanted to
figure out what it was capable of first.
To my understanding it always points to your intent, which at
the time of its creation was to get to heaven.

(01:24:58):
And that's why it seems to be pointing up as a compass, which
is a wild thought. I've never seen that before.
But heaven seems to be up and all around us, which is
interesting. I thought it would have pointed,
you know, East and a little S towards Babylon.

(01:25:19):
But I believe All in all, you can change its intent.
But this compass points essentially to what you desire
most. Like Jack Sparrow's compass.
Like Jack Sparrow's compass. Yeah, I look over at Grand Am.
You know Jack Sparrow. I don't.

(01:25:43):
Emily knows Jack Sparrow. Mommy knows Jack Sparrow.
Me, me, me. Anyway, yes, that's what it
does. Points to the thing you desire
most incredibly valuable. I believe you could use this to.
Beat a gob to death. We've done it before that was a

(01:26:06):
coin now, but I imagine it's thesame.
Female looks over at zero and belike I'll give you 5 gold for
it. No.
What do you think? What do you take me for?
It's going to cost more than 5 gold to get me to do anything
for anybody. You're here, so we I kind of

(01:26:27):
take you for a fool like the rest of us.
I had to try. What about 6 gold?
He just, he just looks down at himself and just kind of holds
his hands out in front of him and looks at him and looks at
him. Do I look like a peasant to you?

(01:26:48):
And then he just kind of cocked his head.
Very. Classist of you, that's not
cool. Yeah.
Without the peasants, we wouldn't eat food.
It's true, farmers are the backbone of our nation.
Well, I'm you act like it's sucha scientific discovery that we

(01:27:10):
figured out that I'm full of myself.
Grand Am belches at that. All right, we have an anomaly
outside gang. Running Oh boy, I love
anomalies. Sarah takes the time to put his
compass back in his bag and grabthe bag before running out.

(01:27:32):
He won't run. He'll walk.
He'll walk. See Great Grand Am will dismiss
the seed spell. The seeds go back to sleep.
I will. Unless that's a genie.
Unless that. Unless that's a genie that I
can't put back in the bottle. Yeah, you would.

(01:27:59):
Well he concentration. Yeah, exactly.
He already used that. Oh, he used awaken on it.
And then, yeah, so he. No, I don't awaken.
I did not awaken them. I just can't.
I did not use awaken on the seed.
No, I call, I cast commute like communicate with plants.
Yes, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very different.

(01:28:22):
One of them is permanent. Yeah.
The other seed has awakened caston it.
This one does. The grape 1 does not.
I'm happy to use the grape seed.The thing I cast awaken on the
pot plant. I cast awaken.
Oh, you cast Awaken on it? Oh fuck.
Yeah, in a little. Bit where you got here.

(01:28:45):
On I cast. So everything you miss, Well,
yeah, I guess it's better that you don't know.
I cast Awaken on it. Yep.
OK, we talking. About the little seed.
Yep. Yeah, OK.
The little one with eyes or the one with legs?
Eyes, eyes. The.
Cute little yeah 'cause the one with legs is the one that I'm

(01:29:05):
grappling, but it's seen. Is it asleep or is it still
trying to walk around? It's all stuff.
It stopped trying and it and it's legs recede into itself.
OK so I'm just like hanging on to this thing and as everyone
walks out I'm going to like lookaround and look at it and
realize it's like not moving anymore and get up and dust

(01:29:28):
myself off and follow everybody else side.
The wizard will collect the seeds and take them to safety
further in the ship. I don't fight.
Understandable. Have a nice day.
He sprints out the door. Zero just leisurely walks and

(01:29:48):
you can hear like just very almost reluctant footsteps
walking out the door at last. As you whisk the seeds away,
them away paths, little one on the head gently instructs you to
keep it safe, picks up her skirts and rushes upstairs.

(01:30:09):
I will. Come on, Liberty, let's get you
tucked in. It sounds like Raul was
following everyone else's will. So you guys proceed onto a
Dune's main deck outside and seethat she's stopped hovering over

(01:30:35):
a wide expanse of trees. And they have the trees below
you have just started their change into their deeper fall
colors, but also at the edge of what looks like a massive bubble
of emanating energy. Some of the trees were twisting

(01:31:01):
with almost a magical slightly like fanciful nature and magical
in nature, all being very large underneath Odunae, but as it
crosses the edge of where the bubble is, they've all turned to

(01:31:26):
this blackened wizard, husks of what they were before.
Dang. Are they waving around like they
have wacky inflatable arm guy? Par for the course for evil
necromancer lair, Granddad says.So is this a Dome on the ground
or a sphere hovering in the air?It's a sphere.

(01:31:50):
Well, Dome on the ground. That's I see what you're asking
now. Dome on the ground, OK.
May or may not continue underground, but is intersecting
with the ground right OK. Oh, look at this thing.
That doesn't look healthy. Yeah, I, I stopped us here

(01:32:13):
because I didn't know if we wanted to proceed or not doing
any chance in in everyone's head.
Where are we in relation to the Rift?
Probably less than a day. I mean probably like 1000 feet
from the center of the fissure. Yeah, it's probably at the

(01:32:33):
center of this bubble. 1000 footbubble.
That sounds about right. Does anyone have the ability to
figure out what it is? You know, I can try, I guess.
You know, I know a little bit about some stuff, just not a
whole lot. Don't forget to guide yourself,

(01:33:00):
but you have to touch yourself first.
In the midway, we'll try an Arcana check.
See where I was going to catch guidance on the MOA and pat her
on the back? Roll that sweet guidance.
That was a nice one. A1.

(01:33:23):
Total of 21. Not natural.
You would know quite well Dune that this has not only physical
repelling abilities because you can see as you're watching it, a
bird, you know, just fly by and it just it like bumps into it,

(01:33:44):
like like it like you would expect it to run into glass
almost. And then as its wings are
splayed across it, it just bounces back into space in the
air above it. And then as it's falling, it
slowly remains consciousness andthen slowly is able to like
shake itself out of it and fly away as well.

(01:34:08):
That you realize physical, besides the physical
characteristics, the, the magical nature of it has to be
in tune with the, the land, because the, the line is
definite where the bubble startsand the trees have lost all

(01:34:28):
foliage and any other plants inside of it.
And you get a faint sense of foreboding from it, almost as if
as you're focusing harder on it,that you feel as if you're being
watched. You kind of look all over your
shoulder. There's no one there besides

(01:34:50):
your companions. But it has a deeper, darker
nature. So I, I convey this all to the
crew, including its strange surveillance qualities.
But then what did you mean by intune with the earth and it, it's

(01:35:11):
killing the trees inside of it? That contradicts to me.
And I I'm I'm missing something?In tune as in sapping the earth?
OK like like it it is pulling from the earth the magical
essence that requires for it to be hole all.
Right. So it's almost like it's using
life or something as fuel. Yeah, like a leash.

(01:35:37):
That's terrifying. Looks like.
Oh, dear. Well, that's not great.
Do you think it's? A spell.
Or. So I mean, if it's kind of
sinister, we can try the holy water on it, right?

(01:35:59):
It's a good idea, yeah. I mean, let's.
Yeah, take a blast at it. And if y'all Poly water doesn't
work, I have a vial of my own aswell so.
We have like a shit ton. We have more than a vial, don't
mind if I do and being familiar with the Canyon then the way

(01:36:19):
sits in the OR is it a chair or I don't remember if I was
sitting or standing to operate it before.
Standing there is kind of an interface with like a.
With the buttons. Yep.
Yeah, I'll whatever button was the one that did the like, not
the spray, but the like concentrated burst.

(01:36:41):
At the AT and you're you're asking I do any I would assume
to turn to one side or the otherand fire the cannon at it.
Or as Nimaway is walking up to the Canyon, you just hear Sarah
say something about saying you at a Canyon feels oddly
familiar. You're right, I had a dream

(01:37:05):
about that. Maybe it was a privilege.
Today would. Be amazed going to like in
there, you know state of inebriation after taking slits
out of the moon shine bottle anddrinking like at least 2 glasses
of port. Kind of like seed him away, like
approaching the cannon and be like, Oh shit, battle battle
positions, right, even though I just like passively suggested

(01:37:27):
that we shoot it with water. But like now that I see you
there, like oh shit, and like run.
I'm not expecting anybody else to react, but like run to the
the what are the highest point of the deck and like look over
and and like look at you when you're ready and just scream
fire really like. Seeing.
Captain's having a hard time with this whole reality break

(01:37:50):
situation. Seeing the Admiral runs here,
just grab readies his sword and shield in case anything comes
out of the bubble if we managed to disperse it.
It's been moving on the screen. Are we seeing that or is that
just? I'm moving it, yeah.

(01:38:12):
I'm trying to select a dune so that I could actually move a
dune, but I don't know. Oh, I moved her onto the
foreground. I didn't realize that was a
whole another layer at this point now.
Anyways, don't mind me so. The bubble is not moving.
No, no, no, because you guys haven't changed position, you're

(01:38:32):
just turning sideways. That there's a moving like a
moving castle, air base or something that was the center of
it. But you're, you're turning,
you're turning sideways to fire the cannons and it does make a
dent into into it and you see itgush forward and tear into the

(01:39:02):
into the bubble. But the bubble does reform as
the water stops. What was it made?
Just as the same size as the flow, which was probably about
5-5 feet across, 5 feet high. OK, she's going to try the spray

(01:39:24):
setting. You turn it to the spray setting
and it doesn't quite even reach the bubble from here.
Do they have misty earth, fog cloud?
You guys are like. 45 feet away from the center of the ship,
let. Me.

(01:39:44):
Yes, I have fog cloud. If we infu, I don't know if it's
big enough but if you maybe upcast it.
If we infused fog cloud with holy water.
It's a 20 foot radius, so 40 foot diameter.
How wide is it doing? Yeah, that can't be right.

(01:40:06):
I was trying to use the map probably at least 40 feet
across. Wide.
So hundreds feet long. Well, we just need a hole that's
the width of a dune and the height length won't matter.
How does the length matter? Because as she flies through the

(01:40:29):
hole just needs to say open for her length to get through the
hole. Guess it depends on how fast the
thing reforms. Is it a concentration spell?
Yeah, up to an hour. Up to an hour.
How far? We're 1000 feet away, so we
could get there within an hour. So if we use like a combination

(01:40:51):
of like the spray feature and this, But yeah, but also, it's a
huge risk. If the Dune gets touched by
this, she's dead. Yeah, and also this isn't big
enough anyway. It's only a 40 foot diameter and
Josh just said that she's wider than 40 feet.
Yeah, we likely have to start. Do we have to hoof it?

(01:41:14):
Wait, the fog's radius increasesby 20 feet for each spell slot
above level 1? There you go.
So you could infuse a fog cloud with holy water that's large
enough for us to get through. But if it's dispelled again,
like that would have to be the captain's call.

(01:41:35):
There's this thing could kill a dune in seconds.
Otherwise, we need to hoof it. And if we need to hoof it, we
need to figure out a way to dealwith this ourselves.
Because if we get hit, we're probably done too.
Yeah. So the captain's call is never
to put a dune in danger. So let's, if we're going to do

(01:41:56):
this, yeah. Yeah, let's.
Do it on that. Yeah, we should do this.
So then I have another. Well, so puts the same problem
in 'cause we're going to be entering it and we're living
creatures, so we'll also get. Yeah, we'll get through a lot
quicker. We just have to step through.
What if it's? What if it's to do with our
contract and not our living status?

(01:42:24):
What? True, like it it keeps out
everyone but the PNC. And since we are PNC because the
bird, the bird didn't go throughthe portal, it just bumped into
it, right? Correct.
Yeah, with that thought, Grand Am's going to run and jump off
of the ship, turn into a bird and fly into it.

(01:42:46):
Well hope you have a backup character.
I do. Is it Grand Am?
I can neither confirm nor deny. Just another one pops in.
I need to do that. The council sent me to replace
your grand AM. It's my understanding that.

(01:43:07):
Why is it goodness? Can I do something before he
leaves off that ship? Just trying.
Cast guidance but it wasn't working.
Probably. Well, we got three of them on
this side on Rule 20. Yeah, I see.
Guidance. I was trying to roll it but it
was just it wasn't rolling the spell, it was sending the spell
info and that's not what. I mean, can I do, can I do

(01:43:29):
something, try to do something before Grand am kind of?
Maybe before he reaches the bubble, but I don't know about
before he jumps up the side of the ship.
OK, so Hero is going to be pretty much swooping after him
with a bottle of holy water trying to bless him before he
hits the bubble. Just get him soaked.

(01:43:51):
It might make it worse. Oh yeah, that man.
Just in case something happens, he he wants him to have that
little boost because even we. Have resurrect.
We have resurrection magic on the team now.
It'll be all right. Wait, wait.
Yeah, I'm still not risking. I can do it, can't y'all do it?

(01:44:14):
I can't. Well, she had no wizard.
Grand Am's going in. Pretty sure I'm.
Not for him, I guess you just here at while we all were down
there talking, Cyril would have probably flown up to whatever
that little top basket of the ship is called.
You know what I'm talking about.That he would have been up there

(01:44:35):
looking and the second he sees Grand Am transformed he just
takes a leap of faith off and swoops after just immediately no
hesitation and. Then we doesn't know what Grand
Am is planning, but she cast guidance on him as he.
Flies and Cyril. Is chasing him down with a
bottle of holy water. I'm eating popcorn.

(01:44:57):
Yeah, they should really. Even if it's just a drop hits
film, maybe it'll be enough to Bliss Grand Am.
They should really, really aim guidance to friendship.
That's a good point anyways. So obviously you feel guidance
wash across to you grand am, butare you avoiding or trying to?

(01:45:19):
I'm just going to. Straight for it.
But I meant the the holy water is what I was actually asking.
About. But even if there are, what?
The point is, I don't know if hecan catch me.
That's the question. How quick?
I mean, my wings are much largerthan yours.
So I would have a I'm a giant eagle right now.

(01:45:40):
You. You.
Just got to get by movement speeds.
I am a giant eagle. I have a Giant Eagle stat block.
The Eagles. Why didn't they use the Eagles?
God. Well, Zero with 0 is not trying
to douse you with holy water. He just has a little bit on the
tip of his phone. He just needs to wipe his thumb

(01:46:02):
across here. Well, Grand Am's dog wouldn't
stop him, but he also is not sticking around. 0 Is this the
second he saw him start to do anything?
He just swooped down. And just, I don't know if you'd
be able to reach him only because I went to their movement

(01:46:22):
speed, which is a good point. I mean, I'm assuming you were.
Speed. I have a walking speed, so I
don't know how quickly Ciro could feasibly go, presumably.
Can't fly if he doesn't have a flight speed.
But yeah, yeah. But presumably I mean you have

(01:46:43):
the has the wings I guess which you would try to use you was.
He a Azimar, Is that what he is again?
Yeah, yeah, they have a fly. Speed or they they can they can
use a special ability to get a fly speed for a short time.
Yeah, as as you try to jump out after Grand Am, you see his form

(01:47:11):
morph into that of the Giant Eagle and he just takes off in
front of you because their fly speed is 80 feet, which is
ridiculous. Like that of a fucking dragon.
Cyro. Cyro is going to fly out after
him just in case he falls and heneeds to catch him or.

(01:47:32):
At least try to catch you. That's totally smart.
And he's, he's, he's going to headbutt essentially, he's
either going to get through or he's going to headbutt this
barrier and then he's going to knock himself out.
Shortly after you see Zero come into vision from swooping down,
you hear a sword and a shield clanged loudly, and instead of
chainmail clanged loudly on the deck.

(01:47:55):
Because here I just threw everything down and just went.
Oh picks through it. Oh, free stuff.
Do your thing. And Grand Am, the Giant Eagle,

(01:48:21):
not to be confused with the grocery store, takes off the
edge of the ship and flies directly straight for the
barrier. As you get close to the barrier,

(01:48:41):
a skull forms in it, as opposed to like the bird, where there
was nothing that happened. And within, as you're coming
closer to it, the mouth of it starts to open right about where
you're starting to enter. Gnarly.

(01:49:05):
That's right as fuck do. You continue Grand.
Am's grand, Am's going to go in.Do I still have the seed?
Which seed did you have? Because I.
I was the one I was holding the giant seed earlier, but I guess.
The the little guy. Back.
Oh, no, Matt. Had to get to safety.
Yeah. I could just fly in and plant

(01:49:28):
it, it'll be fine. Nothing wrong with.
That don't risk the seed. Fair enough.
We have with the Macguffin. We will keep the Macguffin.
And as I need to do this, that'swhat I need to do.
We, we don't know that you can fly and implant it yet.
You need to like go through the barrier.

(01:49:51):
Right, I just. Remembered that I was holding it
unless I checked. Oh sweet Jesus.
You're welcome. Give you an idea of what?
OK, the mouth opens and a everyone else's perspective.

(01:50:13):
A cloud of deathly gas looks like comes out from it as you
fly into it and you disappear onthe other side.
OK. They can see through the
barrier, but you don't exist on the other side of the.

(01:50:34):
Barrier. Barrier.
OK. Oh is is that?
What do I perceive? Do we want to get in?
We're getting into that, 'cause you.
That could be. He's gonna die the.
First one. What was?
What was zero would have been atleast a little closer than

(01:50:55):
everybody else right from. Oh yeah, are you trying to fly
into that mouth too? He is trying to catch Grand Am.
He's at this point he's kind of tunnel vision like on Grand am
not noticing anything else or paying attention just like that
is his one like goal is to get to him at.
This .2. Characters die.

(01:51:16):
Let's. Go.
Are you flying it? So if you're tunnel visioned
into him, you're flying directlywith.
No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't have flown in after
he lost sight of him. He would have swooped like he
would have turned straight up and just flown straight up
before coming back to it. Don't I like the second fight is

(01:51:36):
lost. He's not following any of he's
like, like I care about him justnot, not enough to risk my life
like that, you know? Absolutely not understandable.
Have a nice day there. No, do not pace Grand Am into
the Death Skull. Let's go, let's go.

(01:51:59):
I think we need to go after him.I don't know about that.
I'm really concerned. Let's see what happens.
You have a, you have a torque, so you can describe what you
see. Oh yeah, I don't have one.
I still have mine on me. I love I listen to you.

(01:52:21):
In a prison cell? Is this a prison cell?
Yes. I'm in.
I'm in jail, trapped like a rat.They teleported me.
The bastards. The at the mention of of rat TTF
pops up from your pocket cheese,yes.

(01:52:46):
You typically keep you on the ship.
Why are you here? I was, I was, I was staying with
you. I was just an eagle though, I
don't have any pockets. You're a cheese master.
So how does the tort work? Is it kind of like like they can
both hear each other at the sametime?
Like is that kind of OK? So just in the background from

(01:53:08):
the ship's side, you just hear avery winded Seagro slam, pretty
much slam and drop to his knees against the deck.
Like you can tell he really for the first time it seems like,
really tried to help somebody and just came barely short of
it. I am going to oh, pull out my

(01:53:30):
map. Have I been disarmed while I was
teleported? Am I clothed?
Am I good? You wouldn't have the torque if
you were just. Clothed, but as you reach for
your map you don't find anythinglike.
The Elder Scrolls I kind of findthe chest with my shit in it.

(01:53:54):
Just in the background you just hear Cyril pretty much dry
heaving air trying to catch his breath again after.
Yeah, guys, I would find a different way and I wouldn't
drive the boat through it. Aurora goes in comfort.
Zero. It's OK, You tried your best.
The fact is, you tried and that's what matters.

(01:54:16):
Hey, would now be a good time tocast Earthquake?
I would say don't do it considering what I you know, I
just. Do you have your?
To get yourself stuck. Do you have your arcane focus?
I guess it's my question. Did they leave you with one?
That's a good question. Chichi is with.

(01:54:40):
That's about it. Other than your clothes on your
back. Oh no.
He has a mouse, a torque and some clothes and that's it.
Oh no. We lost that Admiral.
Oh no. Oh no.

(01:55:05):
That we lost the Admiral. Right.
Oh, I think the Admiral. Is under a tunnel.
Yeah. So Nimaway pulls out her map,
her table map, and concentrates on the thought of where Grand
Dam is and was it the map show her.

(01:55:27):
The map shows you in the center of the Fisher.
Does it have like a a weight display depth?
Oh, you mean like how far down he is?
Yeah. So like I imagine I want to see
it in three. Can it show me that?

(01:55:48):
As you're imagining it, you see the depth provide itself, and he
is. He's the 1000 feet under the
earth. Does it denote layers of hell in
that map? So if I'm not mistaken, you'll

(01:56:12):
need a focus for spells that require spell components.
Correct. OK, I'm going to chill here for
a minute until somebody to come see me or I get my second wild
shape pack. Oh no.

(01:56:34):
So can I see what level of hell he's on or is he just in that
like kind of vestibule purgatory, purgatory kind of
area you? You start to imagine this and
you could pull up a second map and you see the visual levels of
hell from Manny Polis and you kind of see a beacon just at the

(01:56:56):
tippy top of level 1. All right, so levels of hell
map, I'm open it up now. Yes.
Level 1 I'm trying to find it. On this you got kidnapped.
Well, let's see what they want. Third.

(01:57:17):
Level fourth. They're not in order.
I'm trying to find the first one.
I'm trying to give through a little a little touch of
character development, so. I like that.
I'll actually go to 0. I'm up to Cyril and I'll lean
down next to him and I'll pull out the compass.
Or the wizard will. Now that he sees that there's no

(01:57:37):
damage and he sees Cyril freaking out, he'll be the one
to like. The .0 has gone into like cool
blown panic attack, like tears everything.
Just. You see the cocky, the like
cocky narcissist facade completely gone and at it, at

(01:57:59):
his core, you just see someone who is scared of losing people.
So he's just blown, like staringat his hands like he's the one
that threw him in there or something and just sobbing.
I'll pull up the compass and I'll put it in your hands and

(01:58:19):
I'll say to you, you have a chance now to find a new intent.
Instead of me going back or having this point back to
heaven, you could have it point to your friends.
And so you'll always be able to find them.

(01:58:40):
And then I'll get up and I'll wander over to the rest of the
group. And noticing at this point,
Nimoy rushes over and she shows him the map.
He's like here, He's not gone. He's right here.
We can get him. I have a stupid question.
Sure. If I were to say, cast Wall of
Thorns, that's a plant, correct?I mean theoretically.

(01:59:07):
OK. And then if I were to cast
transport via plants, but I teleport myself through the Wall
of Thorns. Transport via plants?
Is that the name of the spell or?
Yes, I walk into a plant and then I go to somewhere else
touching the plant. I guess it would depend on the
aura that you're in. Oh no.

(01:59:29):
I. Don't think that would work.
Never mind, it's basically high level teleportation.
Yeah, yeah. It's like teleport from tree to
tree. I will, as the wizard, kind of
step out now and be like, well, that's fucked up.

(01:59:51):
Can we get a little closer to it?
I'm going to cast identify on it, and then we'll learn more
about what this sphere is. I assume it's some sort of aura
of, you know, like a private sanctum or a unhallowed space,
that kind of thing. If we can learn more about it,

(02:00:14):
then we'll know more about how to approach this problem.
Agreed. Oh God, I can play myself.
Yes. I don't even have to like,
pretend I'm just me. Granddam ain't waiting around to
get rescued. He's going to wait until he has
a second Wild shape back and then just go.

(02:00:35):
Take off. Yeah, we don't know that.
So on on our side, we are. If I can still communicate with
you via the torque, I am informing you of my plan.
That's true. Then I guess I could.
We could give you more information then, right?
We could tell you where you are.You're on the first level of
hell with all that stuff. Grand am just going to sit

(02:00:57):
against the wall and meditate until he has that wild shape
back because he's going to want to.
If we can get closer, I will cast identify on the sphere.
As you do. Why y'all?

(02:01:18):
Why y'all do that? So you just kind of can hear
Cyril quietly sobbing to himselfin the background.
And if you would turn to look athim you would just see him
clutching compass and his wings.Like encasing him kinda in a
cocoon is wrapped around himselfand he's just taking a moment to

(02:01:39):
see if the compass will change direction.
And as you're doing so with the,I'm assuming intent to find your
friend, right? Yeah, he's looking specifically
for grandma at this moment, sobbing because he feels in this
moment he would feel kind of like he didn't do enough, even

(02:02:03):
though he could do, he did all that he could do.
Then you would most certainly see the compass reorient itself
instead of pointing up, Pointingdown.

(02:02:23):
The second to compass changing Zero would have pretty much
jumped to his feet and ran. I would say he would have ran to
Nimway. That would be his kind of person
first, given that she has a little more like kind of problem
solving ability compared to rural.

(02:02:44):
No offense. None taken.
I say eating popcorn. Still, this is a pretty shawl.
And you just see Sierra's still going to be crying at this point
because he's just completely like he has no energy left to
keep up a facade or act tough oranything.
Like he's just pretty much bearing his soul to everybody

(02:03:08):
around at this point. And you just hear him.
I'm not going to do, do shaky breasts 'cause I know I must
sound crazy, but just imagine, Hey there, it's OK.
He, he, the compass is pointing towards him.
He's he's right there. So.
You did it. We never doubted you.

(02:03:34):
Casting Identify as a ritual takes about 10 minutes.
As you're performing the ritual,you get little cues around your
vision, the first thing being that this is a hallowed space
and. Unhallow.
Unhallow and to follow the ideasof such start to form which that

(02:04:07):
if you cross this barrier you will be affected by magical
darkness from a point as soon asyou cross it, potentially up to
and including unconsciousness orand or a following of swarming

(02:04:32):
insects that will follow every step of you and inform those in
control of the hallowed space what your actions are.
And all forms of life on the other side are tainted.
They have no benefit to those ofthe living.

(02:04:58):
So can I take 10 and do a deeperdive to determine if this is
pointed at a particular creaturetype or so?

(02:05:18):
Like is it all but undead or? You want to do a roll you want
to do real quick, just to see what your interpretations come
across with. Sure.
Can I do Arkana? I'm casting guidance again.
Best spell, good boy, best spell. 0's going to rush up to

(02:05:41):
your character and just hug him.Probably still sobbing, but I'm
very cold. That is going to be.
Incredibly cold to the touch, icy cold.
Oh. Zero wouldn't have like
fluctuated or anything, he's just hug you as tight as he

(02:06:01):
could in this situation. Thank you.
All right, Arcana. Oh yeah, this is going to be
stupid. Knowledge clerics or knowledge
clerics? Last divination wizard with
Arcana focus plus 16. Oh my God.

(02:06:21):
And I got a natty 1. Oh my.
God, your guidance is a 2 so. And with yeah, so 19, I don't
know if you take the the critical fail into effect, that
was painful first, my first rolewas a one.

(02:06:43):
I was so ready to give you this information, but now I feel
obliged that you hold on. I have lucky so I'm going to re
roll this. Where'd you get lucky?
Isn't that only like a happening?
Oh, it's a beat. My, my level 20 version of me,
but very limited in what I can do All right, 34.

(02:07:15):
I'm definitely I'm not planning on abusing this for everyone
here. I, I, this character will be an
NPC usable by everyone to like be like, Hey, you're really good
at this. Can you make a roll for this?
Or like, Hey, can you make an identify spell?
So I don't, I don't want to overplay it like like 2
characters at the same time. So after this, I'll be more or

(02:07:36):
less background NBC. Well, talk to I.
I'm glad for the though, becauselike I said, I was so ready to
tell you that you know for certain that this is an adult
black Dragon's lair. I relay this to everyone.

(02:08:05):
The entire Dome. The entire Dome?
Is it Blair? Does the Dome cover the chasm?
Yeah, it seems to be centered onit, yeah.
No. So even if the people in hell
wanted to get out, they would gopretty much in a certain death

(02:08:27):
at this point. Well, yeah, I mean, part of part
of the process of planting this seed is we have to make it, you
know, not immediately dangerous for life here.
We can't just, like, plant it. We have to clear it out.
But assuming they got there before us, they would pretty
much just be headed to their death at that point.

(02:08:51):
Think they can take them? Some of them.
The area is also unhallow space.I don't even know what that
means so. That's a spell that it's
basically a an aura spell that creates magical effects like,

(02:09:12):
you know, the Pete your enemies are filled with dark like all
that all they see is darkness and all they like basically
everything we're seeing right now in front of us like
celestials, elementals, faithines and undead can't enter
the area, but. I'll just, I'll just share it.

(02:09:34):
Yeah. So I I couldn't answer that area
even if I tried but. We have, we have a solution for
this that we've had for a while and we just don't have it.
The other campaign has it. We have to trade.

(02:09:54):
Do you remember Griselda? The.
Captain, she's not here, but shedied.
She was an undead, and her blood, when drank gave you,
turned you into an undead creature for a specified amount

(02:10:15):
of time before you would turn back into yourself.
We could all take some of this, if of course I can identify that
undead would not be targeted by whatever this is and sneak in.

(02:10:40):
Do I still have my pokeball? You have not on your purse.
I'm going to kill whoever has mystuff.
Take all your stuff. Then we would also need that
potion if we go that route. She is Faye, so you know.

(02:11:04):
I mean, I'm all scared. I'm not dead.
That's true, but I wonder. Why you haven't?
Couldn't. You haven't you haven't been
addressed by anyone yet, but youcan tell this cell has been used
before. There is some blood spots, stool
stain and other leavings. So cheats.

(02:11:29):
You folded in with my other belongings whenever I wild
shaped earlier, right? All right, cool.
Is it? Am I thinking of Baldur's Gate
where it's a fucking short rest to get back Wild Shape I?
Don't. Know I don't remember.

(02:11:52):
I will look up Druid 5E. I have a question.
Finish a short or long rest. So once this short rest is up,
I'm turning into a family and. I'm Yeah.
That's a short rest. Yeah, I'm casting Past Without

(02:12:14):
Trace on myself and I'm turning into a family and I'm just going
to go through the bars if I can and just fuck off.
So Ciro is going to turn to Mattand hold after grabbing his

(02:12:34):
stuff that he pretty much threw from the crow's nest onto the
deck of a dune and just pull out.
Or he's going to wait before I do that.
Hold up, I'm getting out of myself.
So you said that the other kind of squad has something that

(02:12:55):
could be of use of test. Well I have to determine that
yet. I am waiting for an answer but I
believe if my or my spell went correctly is that inside was
harmful towards the living. It is as if it's under the

(02:13:17):
effect of an unhallowed spell, but a much larger area.
I shared that one. I sure I just I was just saying
that I shared that spell by the way in in chat general chat of
Dean or discord. Yeah, I saw that.
I read through it. Hero is going to hold up
Franklin's business card that hehas.

(02:13:40):
Yep. So that's.
Why and we? Me avis at all.
Of course, that's how we can contact him.
We contact him and then we meet him in the tower, or we can
exchange items. That, my friend, was the whole
point. Resource management.

(02:14:03):
But of course, I'm not the captain.
And the captain vanished. But we need to decide what to
do, and we need to test it as well.
So he's going to. You're always going to turn the
name away. What do you think we should do
since you're the most logical 1 here at this point?

(02:14:27):
Well, I I feel like Wizard here understands the mechanics of
this world more than more than Iquite frankly, though as the
spell has been described to me, it says undead cannot enter
either. So there's something here that I
am missing. Wizard.
Let's see. Or you infuse the area with holy

(02:14:56):
or unholy power faith. Can I enter charm procession?
You can exclude one or more of these creature types from this
effect right at the end of paragraph.
So this would depends on what. I assume yes.
I assume the undead army allows the undead to enter, and those

(02:15:22):
who are not undead get swallowedup by a giant skull and
apparently enter into prison. Do we have a way?
This is just a gas. This is just a gas.
We would have not. Seen.
That this effect only applies atthe barrier.
If it's continuous within the Dome, then we have a problem.

(02:15:42):
We would have to continue drinking the blood of our fallen
front to remain. We all have like an undead pet
somewhere on this ship that we could test it with.
We don't. The other campaign has many
undead that it could be tested with I so.

(02:16:06):
You all have a fungal zombie, not anything undead.
There's a fungal zombie count. If it counts as if it is an
undead entity and it's stop black snap block, then yes, I'll
pull out of my duffel bag several books. 1 labeled the
Player's Handbook. 1 labeled theMonster Manual. 1 labeled the DM

(02:16:28):
Guide. The text upon which the
foundation of our universe is written.
Be careful. Total controls.
This is the rules of this world and how I know it so well.

(02:16:49):
She in the way kind of like reverently reaches for the
books. And I only have one copy, so be
careful. I think Emily would call this
volume 42. Oh OK so hat hats off for a
second. I'm I'm scrolling through my
character sheet trying to figurethis out.

(02:17:13):
Yeah, I don't have anything elsethat would be of use.
Any spells, attributes check anyitems, all of basically all I
have is Franklin's business card'cause as of right now Zero is 3
levels in the pallet and and onelevel in the fighter.
So he has. So if he level, if he levels up

(02:17:38):
one more time, he'll get the daylights filled, which I don't
think would be of any use but. Are you guys giving?
For again against undead. Giving Grand Am the opportunity
then it sounds like to go through a short rest attempt.
His solution? Or are you trying to force your

(02:18:04):
way through here now and or? He will have the time to do what
he's doing because, A, we're talking about this, B, then we
have to go meet with Franklin ifwe're going to try this.
Like This Is Us. We have been stopped at the
gate, don't know how to get through.

(02:18:24):
Right so at this at this point after after post breakdown,
Cyril would have told you all that he is capable of like all
of his spells, items, everything.
Like so for y'all's reference I have cantrips, I have guiding
light, guidance light and sacredflame.
First little spells I have BlissCommand, Divine favor, Divine

(02:18:47):
smite and shield of faith, and then I have lesser restoration.
Those are all excellent healing and clerics.
Your paladin too, right? So you have like.
And then and then I'll also havea light on hands with a healing
pull of 15 that I can heal the poison with for five of them.

(02:19:08):
That's huge. And did I say channel divinity
already? No, I didn't.
I have Channel Divinity as well.Which one are you?
Your conquest, right? Yeah, yeah.
Conquest Boys. So I can raise a zombie, but

(02:19:28):
something has. We have to kill something.
Oh, you think, do you think Sarah would be able to catch a
bird? Just a small bird.
And has to die within 10 feet ofme.
Do you think Sarah would be there was that bird?
That bird flew away. I'll help you.

(02:19:52):
We go hunting together for a small bird.
Well, Grand Am, the era makes his great escape.
We go hunting for birds and he's12 right after.
Scott trying to see if I have anything else that would be
useful. I have healing hands for my

(02:20:15):
family unity. I have conquering presence and
guided strike. Right.
Guided strike will probably be useful at some point, but right
now we just need to find determine a way through the
through the thing. I think throwing a zombie at it
is probably. I have great start.

(02:20:41):
So I think I will. I'll join you 0 and go Hunter
Bird. Yeah, we'll be right back.
Wow, do you guys doing that? Just grabs roll in his arms and
kind of like almost like skydiving has him like finally

(02:21:02):
grasp and jumps off the ship. This.
Is fun, I'm normally the one flying.
Make a Superman pose. Alright, you can do your thing,
Grand Am. Yeah, I want to cast pass that

(02:21:24):
trace and try turn into a familyand try and pass through the
bars. As you do so, you pass through
the ball, or just successfully, you make your way into the
corridor. You see another prisoner, at
least one so far as you're walking through the the rows of

(02:21:50):
prison cells. What is he little bird person?
He seems to be of some sort of demonic nature.
Yeah, we ain't fucking with no demons.
Especially because the one with holy water isn't there.

(02:22:11):
You fly to the end of the corridor and you meet a another
cell cage door and you go to flythrough it and as you cross it,
you transform immediately back and get caught in it.
Like a kid was stuck between thethe his head stuck between the

(02:22:34):
bars of the the railing on a stair.
And you hear a cackle from the other side.
You can see to the other side I think, right?
Yeah, I see Bella there. Yeah, you see 2 individuals

(02:22:56):
mainly 1 seems to be more muscleturns his head slowly after the
other one who started cackling at your head being stuck there
and they just go. You're not going to be allowed
out of there until you finish your pleas.
You got to face the you got to face the charges against you if

(02:23:22):
you and if you don't meet them, I get to have fun with you.
And they? Seem to be like this, like
grotesque, just lump of flesh, multiple arms, multiple legs.

(02:23:43):
So like that Dark Souls thing I tried to reference last time.
Maybe. See if Misty step works.
And as you try to reach for yourmagic with your head stuck in
the cage cage door, you can't reach it.

(02:24:08):
Oh boy. Can I get?
My hair out. The grotesque thing comes closer
to you, might as well go back toyour cell.
I'll get Gorg here to to get youover there and then just spits

(02:24:28):
on you on either side. And it's like this grotesque
lubricant, like greenish, bluishcolour.
And you're able to slide your head back through, step back
from the door or I'll just see you here.
Grand Am. Let's see, we'll step back, turn

(02:24:50):
around, expose his ass and startsmacking it.
You're smacking your ass. The cage door opens just enough
to let this hulking figure through.
Ready action to bust through, tobarrel through him or slipped by

(02:25:10):
him. Let me see what he's got.
He you go to brush past him and immediately you're going to need
to make a wisdom. I'm good at those.
I figured, well, I just realizedthat if I would have read all

(02:25:33):
the stuff I can do instead of just going off of a whim, I
could have told you all that that area was hollow.
Damn, what do you have? I think it's called divine sense
or something, I don't know. Oh yeah, Yep, that would have
done it. I can locate any undead or
whatever else though the three types of races were, tell their

(02:25:54):
braces and see if an area is howlow or not.
Yep, that would have been that would have been the move.
Cereal was having this moment though, so.
He was freaking out. It's totally cool you're PR
peeing it. And then a Constitution save to
follow. You make it past the first guard

(02:26:17):
who's brushing his way in, and you slip through him with the
fallen guy. That first one was really good
with a 21 dirty it looks like, and you don't make it on the

(02:26:38):
second one. Constitution save of 19 versus
that nine and take Oh that's a lot, 32 points of necrotic
damage and fall to the ground, probably screaming as he follows

(02:26:59):
it up with a another constitution save

(02:27:22):
13 pretty good. You need another 19 to go
though, and you've suffer at a level of exhaustion immediately
and are gasping on the ground asif you just already run the mile
at that point. The guard follows back up with

(02:27:44):
a. Oh, what is he?
Oh, OK, that's probably why. Oh fuck, I know what's going on.
Reaching around contract. To touch you.
Oh, OK, I see what that is. Oh wow, and you're able to just

(02:28:12):
crawl right outside of his grass?
I'm guessing 11 doesn't. 11 doesnot touch my AC.
You can take a an action at thispoint.
I would say. Run bitch.
Run, run bitch. Run.
Run Forest. So just an action.
Well, full turn, but yeah. All right, run, bitch.

(02:28:36):
And you have one point of exhaustion and you are 32 points
down in health. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK. You can do this.
It's go time, motherfucker. Part of me wants to fight him,

(02:28:59):
but that was a lot of damage. Let's see, here it is.
You remain on the inside if you can, get away if you can.
Get away. What does the constant do again?
Level 1. Disadvantage, I believe on all,
all throws including attack. I think it is.

(02:29:22):
It's like, it's like. Yeah, then I don't want to
fight. I change my mind.
Then it is time on all ability checks.
OK. Yeah.
So that wouldn't I guess includeattack technically.

(02:29:42):
Yeah, Level 3 is attack and saving throws.
This is just stability checks. Yep, level 2 is speed halved.
Get out of there forest. Run Forest.
Run. He's gonna have to meet up with

(02:30:11):
the other team. I can't play both Grand Am and
Faust I feel. Like Cali would like Faust or
Grand Am. That is a good point though.
You said I'll get an action. Yeah.

(02:30:31):
Fuck it, I'm casting my action is I'm casting plane shift and
I'm shifting down to hell level 2.
Oh my God. Yeah, plane shift, right?
Cannot shift up to limbo or out.I'll shift can't before Faust
can't, so I'm assuming I can't. Yeah.

(02:30:58):
Worst case scenario, this doesn't work and I use my action
to spin. I use my up movement to get the
fuck out of here and bonus action the misty step.
I don't know if you can go down like you can't get like can you
go down through the the seal? That's what I'm trying this is
this is 100% grand am drink the the the tea.

(02:31:20):
Yep. The spells.
OK, OK, OK. NSU back.
OK, this is kind of like banishment in reverses.

(02:31:45):
Yeah, I'm, I'm, yeah. The way it reads too 'cause it's
like damage effect banishment. But.
I read through it as quick as I could hear it, but you?
Permanent as opposed to like temporary.
Right, exactly you. Turn.

(02:32:06):
Yep, this one is not like banishment in that regard.
Where it's not. Although you do not have any of
your items, that's true. Fuck no.
You would need a four metal rod worth 200 right?

(02:32:28):
I can't. Cast.
You're right, I can't cast it. OK, I'm action turning.
What is the fastest? Beast

(02:32:48):
have wings. Easier to fly away from a thing
without wings than to run away. Yeah, but it's also hard to fly
indoors. Just be a smaller bird.
Be a dragonfly. Here I'm working too.

(02:33:34):
So yeah, I've been like, when I do that, I'm like, yeah, for a
second I've been planning on howI wanted to kind of almost like
180 Zero's character. Like I've just been silently
kind of keeping that to myself, like waiting for the
opportunity. Yeah, I think that's this has

(02:33:54):
been a really good one. All right, Yeah.
Phantom Steed has 100 feet. I can't cast it.
I have to. I'm turning into it.
I'm turning into a War Horse andI'm going to spend horror points

(02:34:15):
to become much tankier than a War Horse, and then I'm going to
book it. Boom, boom.
At least I want to try to. Yeah, I want to. 60 Movement
123456123456. Book it.
Out the door. You stop it.

(02:34:40):
Turn into a War Horse and as youleave you take another 5
necrotic on top of the 32 that Iwas mentioning before.
If that doesn't down you, you get to the door and realize you
need hands to open it or brute force.

(02:35:02):
This is where a horse's +4 strength comes in.
I guess. Trampling charge that door.
All right. Can you knock a prone?
Can you knock a door prone? Only if you knock it on.
Do full damage to it, enough to knock.

(02:35:24):
Force needs to make a door. Needs to make ADC 14 strength
saving or be knocked prone question mark.
Are you smart enough to to target the hinges?
Yes. I was just going to mention the

(02:35:46):
hinges. I was like, oh, as I'm running
kind of be like weight, like loosening the hinges.
As I'm running, do I see like a chest or anything here?
You see mounds of flesh inside? Fuck.
That of. Crates.

(02:36:07):
That's right up your alley though, so I don't know why you.
It is not right up my alley kicking that door.
Going to try and go through strength check or?
I don't think I think just do just do your damage at this
point. I doubt you.
I mean you'd you could roll a hit, but it I.

(02:36:30):
It's like hitting a brick wall. You can't hit it.
DC-14 strength settings here. Oh, 36 + 4 is not a lot of
damage. And I will roll at least a

(02:36:51):
general thing for those hinges. And come on baby, make the great
escape. Come on, baby.
You. You bust through the door, not
fully knocking the prone or knocking prone.

(02:37:11):
It would have to be maybe I I guess right?
It's on the ground. The door is not the the door is
open. It's bust open.
As you against. The door killer.
Who's land? On the other side of the slam
door you see an entire four level courtroom version of

(02:37:36):
demons staring at you. See a what?
Four level courtroom, like multilevel layer staring at you and
the judge that's sitting at the main.
I don't even know what to call that the basically desk, I guess

(02:37:56):
I don't know what you call the judge's desk, but you, you,
you're, you see him and he says,he says sustained and bangs his
gavel and you go back to your prisons.
Welcome to the railroad. I'm working on the way.

(02:38:20):
This is a whole bunch of horse piss.
You say as a horse. Chichi, you didn't even do
nothing wrong. Did you get any cheese?

(02:38:41):
Oh so. Sad.
Wow, Zero and Aurora are hunting0 at this point he would have
been worried about the silence coming from the torque.
Oh no, Grand Am would have been giving you the flag live feed.
Yeah. I'm just.

(02:39:02):
I just. Live Is your live streaming
directly to this or? Is this a toilet?
That's a toilet. It's not like a good toilet
either. It's like one of those toilets
that you have to like. It's like a hole in the ground,
but there's no real hole. It's just like a through.
Does it go somewhere? You know that that that it

(02:39:25):
doesn't appear to go anywhere currently.
Disappointing. So it's.
There's a couple couple turds floating around in chamber pot.
Chamber pot. OK, it's not this.
It's not plumbed. He was going to flush himself
down in the. Toilet.
This is not flushed away. Jacob very much has flushed away

(02:39:51):
rat energy. What are you talking about?
So it is rural and 0 want to roll a survival for their
hunter. And.
Sure, that's terrifying. I don't even know what I have.
Oh, it's just whatever I roll. That's great.

(02:40:11):
I wrote a 13. Oh nice, sorry, I'm opening up a
second tab. I have two things I need there
right now probably. Would just even get like.
Well, I'm a I'm a get a cast guidance on or who?
I only. Have where we do that.

(02:40:35):
What was that Grand Am? I can't believe that I didn't
even get a wisdom save against the teleportation spell.
I mean, you flew into it, that was.
No, no, no, this teleportation spell.
The sustained 1. The one you get into the prison.

(02:40:56):
Also also, I just want it known that I'm pretty sure that this
is where we were going to go when those demons came for us on
the evil campaign. They bring Columba fell off the
tower. And the evil campaign.
Yeah, whatever. I just spelled the magic circle.

(02:41:17):
Pretty sure this is where we're going.
He's tired of me dispelling shit, so now I'm here.
Wow. Not completely.
It's it's more to do what do with the contract that you
didn't. Sign.
Yeah, inadvertently signed. The only the only player who
actually was present at the signing is Olivia.

(02:41:40):
Yep, everyone else has been likeadded to it.
Now's the time to stand for yourface.
The signing of what? Early on in the campaign, in
order to get out of a sticky situation, the good guys joined
the evil giant necromancy Guild.PNC.

(02:42:06):
Instead of fighting, yeah, the PNC.
So instead of fighting them, they they were like, oh, well,
we're actually one of you guys. And then they really became one
of those guys. Everyone in the good campaign is
technically part of the evil group, and we have now since
started bombing them. So we have broken our quote UN

(02:42:29):
quote contract that none of us signed.
In Grand Am's defense, he didn'tknow about the contract when he
broke the contract. Right.
Oh no, the. Contract presented to everyone.
The contract states that you automatically sign it by staying
with the group. So technically we have all
signed it, it was just passively.

(02:42:52):
It was like a passive design andit was brought up during the
like the the. Yeah, good luck holding that up
in any American court. Yeah, in the American court.
Yeah. Or an American court breach of a
contract is just a civil crime, so it would lead.
I mean, that's to your defense though, right?
Like he, you didn't sign that. So it was a involuntary, Yeah.

(02:43:16):
Excuse me? I would like to your signature
was forged. I I would like to access my
lawyer. He's currently inside of my
things. All lawyers reside in hell.
No, I, I want I, I, I'm going tospecifically request that the
Spaghetti Monster be my defense.But guys, like when you agree to

(02:43:37):
cookies just by continuing to use a website, right?
Yeah. You stayed at.
We stayed on the website. So we technically agreed because
it told us that if we stay, we agree.
We eat the cookies, guys. But.
Yeah. Back to art mine and wrong
little. I guess I await trial.
Grand Dan's out of shenanigans barring turning into a giant

(02:44:00):
mole and trying to Burrow through the steel floor, it
looks like. Zero is crouched next to Roro as
they wait for some kind of smallanimal to pop up with a hand on
his shoulder so I can cast a guidance for his survival check.
I had rolled, I got a 20, so we got a 21.
Oh, nice, you guys, you. Might need a temporary character

(02:44:23):
there. So 21 and a 13.
I mean that's up to him. If I get a temporary character,
I mean I've been or brand name is just toast.
It depends upon what else you guys do here.
You're going to you're awaiting trial.
You you will have to play that out next time for shirk.
Yeah. I'm sad that I can't turn into a

(02:44:45):
rust monster and eat my way out.It's all right.
They're monstrosities, not beasts.
I love rust monsters. Anyways, with the 21 you guys
were able to collect a fair flock of swallows.
Oh. We only need one.

(02:45:07):
We can Chuck them. We should be.
Sure. Well, well, he had a bit of the.
Hunter Brain going on and just collected a bunch.
He's collecting as many backups as he can.
Do this four times per long rest.
Got it. Can they be Canaries?
Because then it's a funnier reference of Hawking Canaries
into a coal mine. Sure, I found all of these

(02:45:31):
Canaries. It wasn't just you or I help
you. Need to kill one right?
Wait, before we do this I would rather we take as little life as
possible. It can only last one hour, so I
need to. You really just set up at the

(02:45:52):
end of everything, didn't you? Rick's here now.
So would you like me to pull close, dearie?
Yes, please. OK, what are we doing again?
I got the same a dune a rolls upwithin 5 feet of the barrier and

(02:46:15):
you guys do see the skull had disappeared as grand Dam left
the area. But as you close within range
the skull appears not spewing anything out at the distance you
guys are at. But still now and you can even

(02:46:38):
see as the Duna kind of shifts in the air, the skull eye
sockets rotate in the in the Dome to follow.
So I could not find a mechanic for how far these fungal bodies
can move from my person. I couldn't find that mechanic I.
Don't. Think it's kind of like tossing

(02:46:59):
a tied up bird between his handslike a baseball.
Ready. Do you do you have the spell?
What is it? It's a class feature.
Yeah, it's a class feature. If it doesn't specify then it
then it there is none. Yeah, OK, it specifies A
duration but not a range, sorry.The range to cast it is 10 feet

(02:47:21):
when the creature dies, so the feature has to die right next to
it basically. Yeah, but it does not.
Specify how far the creature canthen go.
Yeah. 0 is going to hold out a bird towards the roar.
Would you like the honors please?
Respectfully, it's a reason risen zombie and they can make
their they're they're under yourcontrol, basically.

(02:47:44):
I respectfully. I request that you kill it
humanely. I very quickly twist.
It's not. And I, I cut my hands around,
cut my hands around it. And when I when I move my hands
away, the feathers have turned into, you know, the the lichen
that grows on logs that almost looks like scales.

(02:48:07):
Yeah. Imagine that, but a little
elongated to look like feathers and the the talons have turned
into, you know, the little crap.What's the the mind control
fungus? I know what you're talking the

(02:48:31):
last I. Don't remember the name.
Yeah. You said mind control fungus and
my brain immediately went to plants versus zombies with the
hip nursery. So the, the talons look like
Cordyceps tendrils, as do the feathers on the end of the tail.
And so they've they've turned long and skinny and kind of curl

(02:48:52):
up at the end. And the the the bird's eyes are
Milky white and I. Wordlessly.
So you're still holding the birdlike a baseball.
Well, no, it's it. I Oh, you mean it's like perched
on your finger? Yeah, because I had.

(02:49:13):
I cut my hand, cupped my hands. Hands.
Around. Oh, OK, yeah.
Yeah. Or zero is holding a bird like a
baseball. And I, I kind of, I, I whisper a
thanks to it and then I, I hold it up to release it and instruct
it to fly towards the the barrier.

(02:49:36):
And it flies towards the barrierI was.
Hoping you'd let me throw it towards the barrier, honestly.
It's doing this for us. It's going to be respectful as
much much as it can. It gave its life for this.
We gave its life for this. Let me.

(02:50:00):
True it. Didn't really have a choice of
the matter. But continue.
So I I have it fly towards the barrier, not at the mouth that
was created by our presence, butjust at a different location to
see if it will generate another entry.
Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up.Would you instruct it to kind of

(02:50:20):
stay within 60 feet of this shit?
If. Because basically I don't want
the experiment to be tainted by our presence near the barrier.
I basically I want it to fly outto an area area of the barrier
that is not impacted by us to remove other variables and see

(02:50:41):
what happens. So did you earlier, did you say
we could see through the barrierif anything went was like on the
other side? Yep.
OK, I was just double checking because I was ready to cast
divine sense so I can see where the bird is at on the other
side. Like see through the bird's eyes
or see the bird? No, I can.

(02:51:03):
Just for the next 10 minutes or until you have the incapacitated
condition. You know the location of any
celestials, fans and undead within 60 feet and you know it's
creature type. In the same radius.
You also detect the presence of any place slash object that has
been consecrated or desecrated. As with the Hollow spiel all.
Right. So, Josh, I don't know how big

(02:51:24):
the skull is in front of us. Can the bird stay within 60 feet
and also fly to an area that does not impact it by our
presence? It's like 40 feet crossed or
diameter. So yeah, I mean it flies out
from the deck of a dune, and as it does so to trying to like

(02:51:47):
skirt around the edge, the skull's head turns slightly and
just the wisps of its breath as it opens its mouth brushes up
against the deck of a dune, turning into nothing like a
white mist. As you see the the darker mist

(02:52:07):
of its breath disappear. The bird does not run the other
side. Grand Am, on the other hand,
sees a bird for whatever flutteraround out of a.
Grand Am is also a Druid. Would he recognize this as a
Druid fungal body? That was kind of fucked up.
You didn't have to do that to the little guy.

(02:52:30):
You just hear Cyril come in overthe twerk like a walkie-talkie.
You would probably recognize though Grand Am that it is fully
a bird. It does seem to have some
mushroom like qualities as it probably what was the command
you gave it. To fly towards a thing.

(02:52:50):
Just to fly, yeah. And it flies into a wall and
falls to the ground into a. Well, I I think they they still
have enough sense for maintaining themselves.
It's not like an indefinite fly until you die, right?

(02:53:10):
I think the habit of them. Yeah, basic level of
intelligence to not 'cause its own doom.
You just that way or Nimoy and Aurora just see Cyril hold up
the a torque like a walkie-talkie.
Did you get our little present? OK, so then it it just flies
around in circles inside of the prison cell across.

(02:53:34):
From is it in OK? Did you get a little prison
right now? A.
Little guy. You didn't have to do that
though. But that means we can send you
stuff. We had to know if the.
Well, they took my stuff, so I don't know how true that is.

(02:53:57):
Didn't decide the dead thing. I don't know if that'll work.
They took my shit. Well, we had to know.
If you swallowed. It if somebody undead could pass
the barrier and we found out that they couldn't, so that
eliminates our plan so far. He's released the other birds.

(02:54:18):
All of you. She side eye 0.
CR just drops the burden just drops it and does not move.
Other than that, just has a. Restore.
We could send him an arcane if, if we had another one of these,
maybe a little bit larger, make it on bed, we could put an item

(02:54:40):
inside it and see if that would go through and give him, you
know, an arcane focus. A dune chimes in with Yeah, you
got to test the prison wallet. I want to see what happens if
you send something big through. What?
What would Grandam I'm communicating over the tort for

(02:55:03):
this? What would you need for
something like that? An arcane focus or whatever.
Stick it to like a stick, yeah. We just hawk a stick into the
open skeleton mouth. I doubt it.
And you would have mage hand. No, I don't.

(02:55:33):
But I can throw. Yeah, let's throw something into
it. The mouth is.
Open or we could get another creature and I could just use
command on it. Adverse to killing creatures
just to. I didn't say kill it, I said I
could just send it in there withcommand.
That's true. The killing part was.

(02:55:55):
Just to see if the undead could get through.
It doesn't have to be undead anymore, but we still have to
shove something down its throat.We.
Could tie it, we could tie it topart of it like we could tie it
to the birds talent. One thing I don't understand is
how the first bird we saw could not get through the barrier.

(02:56:17):
Well, because I think it's not, it's not of us, right, Like this
one was. Your match tinkered with it.
OK, sweet. So the barrier will let us
through because it's trying to capture us, is what you're
saying? Yeah, but then we'll all we'll
lose all of our stuff. Yeah, if we threw like a regular

(02:56:39):
animal in there, it's probably would get the bounced back like
that bird. But because it was.
A class ability of yours. But if you use command so stereo
is going to pick up one of the birds.
Yes, try to send a live command bird through.
Wait, hold on. And I take out a stick and IA

(02:57:02):
very small stick or a nut and I put it in the bird's mouth and
then I tape it shut or. Put it in the tab 1 so it
doesn't eat it or. What can we can just command the
bird to hold the stick? But you can only say one word
commands. Oh.
Yeah. You'll tap to do command one

(02:57:22):
hold stick, command 2 fly, or command one hold stick, and
then. We how about, how about we just
tie, tie this, tie the stick to its ankle and command it to fly
there. We don't have to tape its mouth
shut with a stick. Well the question is like the
things that he was carrying weretaken.
I assume the stick will be takentoo if it's carrying.

(02:57:45):
We'll find out. We'll find out.
Inside the bird. We'll find out here in a second,
I guess. Some we send the both and then
maybe 1. Will get through.
I only have two two spell slots left so I can do this twice
exactly fault. If you push, if you put the OK,

(02:58:06):
let's do the command one. And if that doesn't work, try to
send an undead one in with a thing and it's got.
So this one with command carrying a stick.
And then if we have to, we'll dothe extreme version.
So I'm going to cast command on the bird and get it to or try to

(02:58:33):
get it to fly through. What is the command saving
throw? 12 Wisdom.
Wisdom. OK, the bird takes off and then

(02:58:53):
as soon as it reaches the edge deck it flies in the opposite
direction of you guys, ignoring your command.
Again. Yeah, we're going to have to
throw a bird through. It rolled.
I mean, I still got one more shot at this.
If you all really want to try command.
Hold on. What?

(02:59:15):
18. Oh damn.
Do you all want me to to try onemore time?
That's or we just throw it through, right?
Try throwing it first 'cause I really am not trying to use my
last. I'll lately toss it so it
doesn't like get hard at. The stick we Why toss the bird?

(02:59:35):
Just toss the stick. Every feeling Hucking a bird
won't work, it'll just start flying.
Unless we tie his wings to his body and throw it like a base,
no. Wait wait wait wait.
What if we send his friendly awakened plant through?
I feel it's too. Valuable.

(02:59:58):
For this. I was just thinking it's.
Alive, it'll come to you, you can break a branch off, and then
you'll have an arcane focus. Do y'all have any arcane focus
on the ship that we could send through?
Then we picks up a stick and hugset.
Yeah. Hey, good guy down there.

(03:00:18):
What you in for? You don't find at hand, but you
do find like some. Actually you might.
Because the Dune now be they alive we can self living being
of plant. Matter.
And you probably see at least something laying around on deck
resembling a stick. And you toss it through the

(03:00:40):
barrier barrier and it flies through no problem, lands on the
other side. But you see it's life like it
was kind. It wasn't green stick, right?
But you can see it turning Gray.And then black, almost as if it
were charred before it even hitsground.

(03:01:01):
So it didn't go through the mouth, it just went through the
barrier? Yep, because you threw it at the
mouth. Yep, it seemingly went through
the skull, through the barrier and down.
Farther, I just had an idea. Grand Am has one more trick up
his sleeve. Oh God.

(03:01:23):
Grand AM is going to sit and concentrate and cast heat metal
on a tiny portion of the floor. Do you want to wait until next
time for to see how that we can?Try that.
Yeah, it's late. OK, I was just going to say
Ciero would at 'cause you say Grand Am was sharing everything

(03:01:44):
he was doing with us. So when he says he's going to
try that, Ciero just grabs the compass and stares at it, just
in case. Now that's an interesting
thought. I'll have to think about it.
The wizard Matt walks out. Before we go.

(03:02:07):
I do have this ring of mine shielding that may protect
someone. Who wants it?
I mean give. It into grand.
AM that grand. Am needs it.
How could we get it to him? Now we put it inside a dead bird

(03:02:28):
that's been resurrected into a zombie honey.
And this is based off the logic that when he shape shifted and
the rat became one with his body, that's what how the rat
made it through but his clothingdid not.
Yeah, carried objects. He still managed to get my shit.

(03:02:50):
Yeah, well. No, that's what we.
Think your Warner carried objects didn't go through life
forms that are associated with us did or?
Oh wait, so granddam's making. Shit, she's a rum roller now.
Yep. Yeah.
She signed the contract, too. She's a rum roller.
She she is a rum roller, yeah. She's.

(03:03:12):
One of us, she's she a rat. Oh yeah.
So I'm thinking. Me, we know that the dead bird
can go through. So the next thing would be we
would send a dead bird in, but put a nut in its mouth, right?
Or in its stomach. Then if that goes through
because it's not being worn or carried, then he could kill it.

(03:03:37):
Take the nut out. Have an arcane focus.
And. If that works, I could send the
ring in the same way and then he'd also be able to hide his
presence. OK, and that's assuming that
these objects made it through because they were inside the
body of something that could go through.
However, that brings up a good point.
Is the did the rat make it through because it was within

(03:03:58):
his form or because the rat is also a rum roller?
No idea. Yeah.
So we'll just have to keep that in mind when we do do this test
next time. Check on the chickens, I will.
We should ask Grand Am if he's OK with the.
They. Should.
Care about the birds he does, but he doesn't.
He's bigger picture right now. This is way more.

(03:04:19):
Important than life more. No, he doesn't.
That's what I missed tonight. He doesn't grand am Grand Am's
in jail. Super jail, you know that super
surprised me. That does surprise me.
For next time, 0 did have a little character art, so maybe
that conversation will not need to be had.

(03:04:43):
Well, yeah, not this session at least.
Yeah, but now? To give you a little rundown on
Sierra's little character arc. So just to give you a heads up
for how you want to leave this conversation.
I got to go though 'cause I'm assuming somebody else.
Thanks, Dick. Your paper.

(03:05:03):
I know it's 20. Rick, you are the most long
winded motherfucking paper writer I've ever seen.
It's 22 pages. I'm.
Well, technically, OK. OK, technically it's only 19
pages. You don't count the title nor
nor the bibliography. It's only 19.
Anyways, I will try and find thewillpower to read some of it

(03:05:24):
