trying to predict where your hand is. And y'all just keep like infinity
signing around each other, left theright one, Just take it, give

(09:56):
holds his hand out. Now allthree of you are holding a hand.
You can't have it. This isjust trying, okay, making it weird.
This is weird. So so asthat happens, and y'all are all
standing there like awkwardly. El Rickwalks back up with the water. He
goes, I got the I gotthe water, and y'all are still are
(10:16):
you still? Yeah, y'all arestill awkwardly all holding hands. I want
to be clear that Bentley's not inthe hand holding. Yeah, Bentley's Bentley's
probably the only one who's like,I don't want to say stone sober,
but it's probably like they're all goingto die. Like I could just see
him off to the side. Yeah, you know you're the butt night.
(10:41):
Yeah, okay, well all right, take my hand away, like okay,
whatever, just take it. Please, just don't drink it immediately,
Rich, don't drink it? Whatis it? First? Find out what
it is? All right? Soyou're downing it was he had a has
the vibe on his lips, andso he says that he's like, what,
(11:03):
oh no, Rich, that's that'sfine. It'll it'll like give you
a little pip and your step andlike like it will help you with your
nausea. See it's it was notpepto bismo. It I told you not
to poison him. It has avery bad flavor like and and has the
aftertaste of like rotten fish, andhe projectile vomit in about five seconds later,
(11:31):
you feel perfectly normal. Okay,everything works out, let's go.
Yeah, but if you grab somewater and then start headed over and we
can scout it out for everybody.Oh, thank you, thank thanks,
You're welcome. I'm more confidence,bud. It's okay, okay, Yeah,
(11:52):
ladies love confidence. That's right,Well I am confident also for you.
It's good. Yeah. Also forthe situation where we're going into maybe
approach with some comment, yeah,so we should like strategize like the plan
for it. Yeah, Like whatdo you guys think. Should I just
like go there like quote quote aloneand you guys just be around, or
(12:15):
should we just all show up?Or we should just all show up.
I don't think there's a world inwhich he wouldn't see all of us A
good point of a good point,okay, So yeah, I don't think
that we need to hide necessarily,all right. Yeah, I just think
that we're clear that we're not sendingyou in along. It's not safe and
you shouldn't expect that from anybody.Well, I guess it's about that time.
(12:37):
Okay. Do we need to doanything to prep based upon what we
learned from the Blue Gold terminal andArch phase? Maybe be sober and maybe
have weapons just me, you know, I don't. I don't know what
I mean. You're asking the DMfor guidance on how we should prepare the
situation when it's something that we shouldbe coming up with our Yeah, I
was gonna say, should we askanother one another terminal? Do you have
(13:01):
specific questions? General questions are notgoing to we're looking for You're gonna go
over there, like I should Iprepare for? What do you think we
should do? I think you shouldgo alone? Why not actually alone?
Okay? We're hanging out nearby insome cool disguises, okay, and then
(13:22):
we step in if you know,anything goes south. Okay, Well,
yeah, it seems like a goodidea, and if needed, we could
also you know, ambush and kidnaphim. Okay, do we have disguises
we can find Okay, you seeas Ulric turns goes, did you guys
say you need some like disguises?Why don't we just dress up like these
(13:45):
guys? I was gonna say thattoo. Yes, we did say that
we need some disguises. Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you?
And he basically explains to you thatthe Ricks keep a large, large
armory of stuff. They just didn't. Yeah, they have well, I
mean they have actual army. Whenhe takes you because they live close to
(14:09):
this side of town. When hetakes and shows you the stuff, you
realize most of it was probably likeremoved from past foes. He goes,
He goes, Yeah, I mean, if y'all need some disguises or something,
I'm sure we can like come upwith something here. I don't.
We get most of stuff dry cling, but if it's less than a week
old, then there might still bea little bit of resist combat material.
(14:33):
Is Taylor still like in horse form? She is not? Wait? No,
she was last time. Yeah.I think so, I feel like
Taylor. I think maybe if youcould just be human again, that might
solidly be a decent I mean,maybe wear some different clothes to But I
feel like be very confusing. Idon't think people would recognize you without you
(14:58):
know, that's such a good point. Still, yeah, definitely, And
she's going to shift back into ahuman form with with pants on. I
g yes, she always Maybe she'salso added a tunic at this point.
(15:22):
She should basically just be wearing adress that kind of like rides up almost
when she's in a horse farm,and then just drops down when she shifts
back. It's just a long whitedress shirts. I say, Taylor doesn't
strike me as the like dress wearing. Maybe maybe you are a dress wearer.
I don't know. We'll figure.Yeah, it's like what do you
(15:43):
call that style? You know thetailor's what do you call that stuff?
I'll call it Taylor's version there.Okay, do they have any armor,
like actual armor or is it alljust loosely disguises? I mean there's some
armor? They have anything, uh, anything that might catch my eye?
(16:04):
If oh, nothing, that's goingto be better than what you have already.
I'll put it that I have moneybut nothing to spend it. Well,
because you don't go shopping. That'strue. We should shop, we
should be fair. We didn't havemoney until this moment. We should shop.
But we have money, I meanI have money. We should get
(16:25):
all the healing potions. Yeah,I already I have a bunch of In
fact, what I'm gonna do isyou guys, you have written down how
much money you have, right yeah? Okay, So I'm gonna go around
the circle. We're gonna do thisreal quick. We're not gonna do like
a thirty minute shopping thing. He'slike, you're being such a dog right
now, and you're gonna tell mewhat it is you want to go buy
(16:45):
from a shop. We're just goingto assume it's open and I'll tell you
if they have it or not.How about that? All right? So
we're gonna start with Bentley since he's, you know, mister money bags over
here. I would like to lookand see if there's any any nice armor
that's better than my, uh,better than my chain mail that I'm rocking
right now. Okay, I alsoneed rope, Okay, rope easy?
(17:11):
Yeah? What else would be useful? Something to gag them with? This
is getting kinky. That's not agood idea though, If we are kidnapping,
what what kind of armor better thanchain mail? Or if it's got
the same ac maybe it has likea cool magical effect this high or low.
(17:33):
Low should have said, Hi,damn, they have splint plate.
Splint plate, So I'll give youplus one a C for two hundred gold.
Yeah, that's that's the deal.Okay, all right, So your
shopping is done, Amy, andI don't need anything, okay, Crystal.
So I feel like all I haveis a stick to hit people with?
(17:56):
Okay? Is there anything like ifI went shopping and I was like
trying to find something for my class, I'm trying to figure out how Crystal
would stumble across, Like she doesn'tknow the weapons she would be best at.
So could she ask the ricks maybeif they have any like recommendations for
her? You can just go tothe zoo the zoo and put your eyes
(18:17):
on a bunch. It's different now, and so I can no thanks.
So like before she goes shopping,she wants to ask the ricks, like,
Hey, is there like a thingthat would be best fit for me?
You guys look like weapons experts.I'm not great at it obviously,
and so I was wondering if maybethere's something that I could be good at
(18:40):
using. You see, as Elrickcomes up and goes well, aren't you.
You've one of the nitro types,right, I think? So?
Okay, well we picked this oneup off of a pretty squishy little nitro
type out in the woods one time. And he holds up this staff.
Okay, and he said it glowswhenever they did the magic thing. I'll
(19:02):
sell it to you for two hundredgold what about one fifty too? And
she rolled to persuade. She cantry, she will try. She don't
rollue, We're not yeahh is allof this like interest that Taylor? I
don't know. I don't know,Crystal, Crystal, Oh, I'm smarry.
(19:25):
You know. It was bad enoughwhen it was just your dad,
but now it's even your your coworker. I can't. I I'm sorry.
I need this coffee to hit mybrain. Me too, never mind,
I wasn't. It's not funny.Never mind, all right, try So
he rolled against your persuasion. Whatdid you roll? Ten? Yeah?
(19:45):
He looks at She says, tellyou what, mate, you in the
middle one ninety. That's not themiddle. It's closer to the middle than
you were. Crystal just looks aroundher. Does anybody understand this? He
says, he wants one hundred andninety gold. I will take it when
(20:07):
ninety all right, I have nothingI have. Well, you'll be glad
you took it because this staff isa plus one so it's a plus one
magic staff. Okay. That alsogives you plus one to your spell saving
throat or your spell attack rolls andspell save Yep, that was it was
very It was a very good dealfor you. Yeah, okay, cool,
(20:30):
the treasure role worked in your favor, Okay. Taylor Jacobs oho arch
face sounds really bad so or reallytough. So I was wondering about potentially
if it's possible to have my swordbe on fire. Oh, we're excited.
Oh so you're looking for like likesome kind of alchemical enchantment for your
(20:52):
weapon? Yeah, cat real crunchytoday. Yeah, what's that mean?
Just we're just really deemed. Werarely do. Okay, a sword on
fire in CD? What is mystaff called? So, Taylor was really
jaillous? You get to name exactly? Yeah? Yeah, Eleric tells you
(21:17):
goes. We didn't get its name. The person died before they could tell
us. Oh could she talk toit or something? Because that feels really
crucial. I mean she could tryto so Ulrick comes, well, I've
got these, and basically what itis is it's a he has six potions
of flame Touch. Basically you useone as a free action when you draw
(21:41):
your weapon and it applies a plustwo to your sword for five minutes.
Okay, And he says for thesix pack, I could do that for
like three hundred gold. That's allthe gold that I have. Can we
throw in some potions? Yeah,I'll throw in two healing potions. What
(22:04):
about more? What if we gethit a lot? That's about all I
can do. I'm sorry, allright, Okay, two healing potions and
six potions of flame touch. Thatsounds good. Thank you. It's good
to do a business with you,hey, and we super appreciate y'all's help
(22:25):
with this too. It always makesus feel better when we know we've got
you buyer sides. I have noidea, all right, So now,
Richard, sometimes it's just best notto know, all right, Richard.
(22:45):
Yeah, So Richard in the disguisecategory would love a top hat, a
monocle, a big bushy mustache.And so he's talking to was this a
shopkeeper or one of the ricks?I'm gonna say you find all that stuff
at the Rick's house. Well,there's one more thing that he's looking for.
I'm trying to figure out who amI going to be asking for this
thing? Well, I mean,who do you want to ask for it?
(23:07):
We can I can ask a shopkeeper. Okay, So what is the
item? Okay? So I can'tthink of what it's called? But do
you have a sword condom that Ican get to make my rapier look like
a walking cane? You say condom? You want to a sheet? That's
(23:27):
the word. That's what I waslooking for. Okay, this is that's
easy enough, sir, Like fivesilver. I mean that's and I can
put my sword in and then Ican just walk around the street like it's
a cane to your hearts content perfect. And then the last thing is I
(23:48):
don't actually know what this looks like, but I was reading up on it's
supposed to help with my spells.It's called an arcane focus see here,
and that actually has a price fora bard. But just be your instrument
though, Yeah, but I don'thave an instrument. You probably get an
instrument. No, but he hasa cell phone. I have my cell
phone, but it's running out ofjuice. That's true. Does he play
does Richard playing the instruments? Hedoes not play instruments. He's really good
(24:10):
an origami, though. I guessit could be anything artistically inspired by the
So it could be like a paintbrush or anything like. Technically, it
could be anything for your art style. And the money we spent has nothing
to do with the money we earnedfrom the race. By the way,
I did not put that in myaccount for the goal, but I have.
Yeah, so well, I imagineI guess I'll took all six hundred
(24:30):
of it. Yeah, Taylor hasno idea or The shopkeeper looks for a
minute and he says, no,need to take this offline. Overworked and
underplayed, will circle back after thesemessages. He said, Oh, so
you're a magic user. Yeah,I've been told I'm called a bard.
Oh oh, I've got something youmight be very interested in. And he
(24:52):
pulls out a you know what,No, we'll make it the monocle he
pulls out. He pulls out aChris monocle with a single ruby inlaid just
above the brow, and he says, this is the Phoenix monocle. It
acts as an arcane focus, butit also gives you a plus one to
(25:15):
hit and DC save. Oh okay, he says, five hundred gold,
five hundred golds. I think Ithink I can swing that. I've come
into some money recently. It tellyou what you give me that for five
hundred and the sword condom is yoursfree of charge. Oh yeah, my
man, all right, it wasgood doing business with you. Wow.
(25:38):
I love I love the new lookRichard. Oh thank you. I'm very
inspired by the pringles. Can Imean we're gonna go see someone who's a
high up coovernment official. We can'tgo in there looking like you mean the
Planner's peanut? Can? I thinkwhich food mascot are you refering to?
(26:03):
Doesn't wear a to was My actualinspiration was the Monopoly guy. He does
have a monica. I'm pretty surehe does not have a monocle. I
combining. I hate it. Youryou're Mendela af Us. It's so rough.
Same thing with monkey's claw. God, oh god, and want to
(26:27):
spell attack and spell saves. Yeah, anyways, you guys all meet back
up, Elric. Well, it'sabout that time. We ready to go.
We got a plan. Yeah,I guess I'm just gonna walk out
there and you guys are gonna bein the background with your disguises. I
guess are you sure you be?Okay? I don't know, Probably I
(26:47):
would imagine. Okay, great question. Now that he's raised up for this
thing, could we get Amy ona little like flashbang situation? So she
needs to get the hell out ofthere. She can like throw a smoke
bomb and like disappear kind of thing, or like some kind of transportation where
if it gets harry, she canpoop and then be where we are,
okay speaking, Yeah, so Iwas actually gonna ask about similar thing.
(27:11):
We know this guy can like takepeople places. Is there anything we can
do to stop him from taking Amy? And if we're too far away to
get to him in time, youcould tie a roper on my waist.
We could you guys have in Ithink it'd be a little strange if you
walk around with a tail you haveinvisible rope? Doesn't feel out of the
(27:34):
question. Hey, you see isLeric kind of like looks down and Ulric
you told him about the rope?Just a wild guess he's I didn't say
nothing about you have special rope.It's like, oh you did, now
you had special rope in when Iwas wanting to buy rope, you didn't
(27:56):
offer it. That's what makes itspecial. No, it's a special thing
I've been working on. Okay,well contested for you. We don't even
need to keep it. Yeahs yeah, I mean all yeah, all right,
we'll give it a try. Okay. So you see as he comes
(28:17):
back, and it looks like he'smiming, like carrying like a big thing
of rope, and he drops itdrops. He's he's been practicing his miming,
that's what he's been working on.And he like drops it at at
Amien's feet and he goes, Iprobably should have probably should have held on
(28:37):
to at least one part of it. Hold on. He's like feeling around
on the grave up there it is. And he comes out and he goes,
I'm gonna tie this around your waist. Now, okay, you should
tie the other end around Taylor.I mean, I'm also not to worried,
guys, I'm pretty I don't mindbeing on the other end. And
(28:57):
so so as he's it, likeit's the weirdest sensation because you see nothing
there, but you feel like you'reclothes getting wrapped up by this rope.
Okay, okay, and so it'sreal, all right, how long of
a leash is there between one hundredfeet? Okay? Good? Good,
and so like, don't close anydoors behind you, Okay, I'll try
(29:19):
to remember that. Two tugs foruh, fuck, somebody up, three
four? Uh start pulling like onehas come here. One is bring me
to you. Okay, okay,all right exactly and if you start like
failing like crazy, we'll also showup. All right, cool, I'm
(29:44):
ready, guys, cool, cool. Do you think we're I mean,
it might be nothing, you know, and for us the best know because
one hundred feet or however far wewant to be, don't know how good
our listening is. Maybe is asyou're talking to him, you're just like
in the brace of that kind ofjust to hear him, oh yeah,
what he's saying. You're thinking,like you hear him say stuff, you
think it to us, So thatway we have a good idea of what
the conversation is. And Richard,I just want to make sure I don't
(30:08):
have any of the important stuff fromall the missions that we've done and cry
in case he tries to steal something. I mean, the only important thing
is these wristbands. Okay, becausewe gave everything else to pizzle bang right
verty much Okay, and don't forgetto give amy an one of your famous
Richard pep talks before she goes toYeah. Yeah, well wait, told
(30:30):
it a little bit closer. Ithink we have kind of a time limit
on them. Point yeah, ofcourse, and maybe you'll get hashtag blessed.
Hashtag blessing that one. All right, So you guys make it back
over near the raceway where you weretold to meet, and you find what
(30:53):
appears to be a fairly ornate villawith all the lights out. Hm.
And you notice that the address isthe courtyard of said villa. Okay,
and you see his is older.Yeah, so I think we stay here
across the street and uh yeah,we see how this goes. I mean,
(31:15):
I don't I don't know. Itcould go fine, could go poorly.
You know, you know, youseem like you're a capable person.
You haven't know this stuff. Sowell, she doesn't seem like a capable
person. She is a capable person. You really, there's the pep talk
dentist. She's probably one of thesmartest and clearly one of the most strongest
(31:37):
people in this group. Yes,wow, thank you this fan person,
and so now you have bardic conspiracy. Oh thank you. Okay, and
that's a D six to attack rollsand ability checks. You only get you
can choose one time to use it. Oh okay, okay, all right,
(32:00):
Well let's go see guys later.Do we need to be sneaky over
here? You think we're far enoughaway? I think we should definitely keep
an eye out, so maybe notbe so hidden that we can't see what's
going on. Okay, what isthe so we're say we're across the street,
so you're trying Are you trying toobserve overtly or are you trying to
observe covertly? I think we haveenough people to maybe do both, so
(32:22):
I have I don't think that's howthat works. But well, if we
split the party right, Let's saysome people find a way to the roof
of a building that's across the streetthat is sneaky. Watching Alex's alexicated if
it wasn't complicated. So I'm askingbecause I can cast this thing called pass
(32:45):
without trace. Yes, and it'slike a sneaky like it's sneaky. I
read about it in all of myspare free time, and it will help
us be like not as obvious.Yes, I guess do we want to
do that? You know, itis best not to be seen. I'm
(33:09):
just assessing the room. I justwant to make sure we're all in the
same page. I don't want tonot consensually cast something on somebody because like
that feels kind of gross. That'sso smart and kind of you to think.
I mean, really, if youthink about it, the less you're
seeing, the less people you gottakill. And I'm so glad to kill
(33:34):
people. And Crystal's got too much. She's got a lot of baggage she's
carrying around right now, so shecasts past without trace on it. Okay,
So what that is for listeners isit's a plus ten bonus to dexterity
checks. So stealth checks. Wehave to be within like so many feet
of you. Yeah, you castit on everybody except for Marjorie, because
(33:57):
Marjorie goes to me this guy whereand he's like, she's right in front
of me, I can't see you. No, I'm not trying to she's
the bait, she's the lore.So uh no, I'm not trying to
cast on it. But it's thirtyfeet, so anybody thirty feet of me
will be able to get a plusten. Yeah, the whole party,
I'm gonna say with that plus ten. Unless something happens, the whole party
(34:19):
is pretty much concealed. Uh huh. I've seen it go sideways before,
so I'm not going to unless somebody'sgot a roll. And thankfully you only
have one person wearing like heavy armoralso has a negative deck score. Well,
now you have a positive stealth score. Now you have a plus nine
to stealthy with disadvantage. This isfor you, This is for you,
(34:45):
all right. So Amy Ann crossesthe street. She approaches the villain and
sees the doors shut. Knock onthe door, you hear you, hear
a voice, Hello, I'm hereto see d all right, D.
He sent me a note today.Name my name, Amyenn Amien. He
(35:13):
sees the door opens, and there'stwo little goblins standing there, and one
of them waves, very abruptly,waves for you to come in. Okay.
Oh you're so cute. All right? And then you start walking in
okay, and he tries to closethe door behind you. How does that
work with the invisible rope? Hejust keeps slamming the door. Now,
(35:35):
Uh, Taylor Jacobs, you havethe rope right, Okay, I want
you to make a perception check.Wouldn't it make sense for it to be
on the ground, so then itwould just be under the door. Your
exterior doors don't go to the ground. Who's to say this is old timy
times? Yes, they understood sometimes, like your garden gate doesn't shut all
(36:01):
the way, like it's got likea gap between. So like this is
technically in the courtyard, right.I feel like they're hoping that they're meeting
in a salute. That would beideal for the situation. So amy Ann's
gonna get about three inches before shecan't go anywhere. That's what she said.
(36:22):
Okay, so rolling that is notgood. That's the four So you
feel like someone is tugging on therope twice or three times? Hi?
Or low hi twice. I'm justshe can see me going in the door,
(36:45):
right, Oh, she saw yougo in the door. You're already
past the door. But you couldbe panicking on the other side, but
do not. Does she not seethe door opening and closing? All right?
So amy Anna, you also hearthe door getting shut repeatedly? Oh,
what are you doing, door?What's wrong with it? Door?
(37:06):
Jam? Oh, let me seeif I can fix it. I' ms
see if I can try and likedo something to like put the rope.
She just kicks a hole in thedoor at the bottom of the door.
Makes me a slide of hand,checks hand. I'm not trying to be
sneaky. Well, you got yougotta do some kind of you're trying to
(37:28):
break the door. I'm gonna tryand like close the door such that the
rope is not broken and the dooris closed. Okay, So you see
that the door does go all theway to the ground. Okay, I
would kick a So you options areto either find some way to wedge the
wedge the rope. Okay, youcan break the door, or you can
(37:52):
try to remove the rope. I'mgonna try to rip the handle off so
that there's an opening in the doorthat the rope can go through. That's
smart, that is Oh no,okay, make me a strength check.
Oh no, I broke your door. Jesus Christ. That's way better than
kicking it. Do you want anathletic? Yeah, do athletics. That
(38:15):
is going to be Oh, I'mgonna say you like you go you're trying
to close the door, and yougrab the handle with both hands and you
put like one foot on the doorand you just snap the handle right off
(38:36):
the door. Oh whoops, AndI hand it to the golf I'm sorry.
And the other one looks goes,just go okay, where do I
go? Points? I guess Igo keep on going on? Okay,
(38:59):
So you make it into because thatwas actually that was the gateway to get
into the courtyard. And at theback, secluded in shadows, you see
a man sitting at a chair behinda table. As he sees your approach,
he goes, ah, yes,my guest of honor, Miss Amy
(39:20):
and Amanda. Oh, hey,doctor d it's really dark. Can we
turn like a light on or something. She's not a fan of the mood
lighting. He says, sorry,there's no electrical lighting here. Why would
you automatically assume my meant electrical lighting. Where are you from? Well,
like you, I am not fromhere. So that bluegle terminal said you're
(39:44):
an arch Fay bluegl is that right. Blogal thinks they understand a lot of
things. But are you from Earth? No? Are you from Atlanta?
Not the same place. He justkind of looks at you very confused.
He's like, Atlantis. No,no, no, the one it's still
dry. Just now, let's there'sthere's an Atlantis lore in this world that's
(40:15):
been established. Now at a realplace, he says, just have a
seat. Okay, Well, what'sup? I got your note? Yes,
I just wanted to have a conversationwith you about a particular predicament we
both find ourselves in. Okay,and you see as there's the destroyed remains
of the fake astral projector like onat one side of the table. He
(40:38):
says, I believe that we mayhave not gotten off on the right foot.
Yeah, you don't say I didnot fully grasp who all of you
were, But I do now,Okay, I believe that we can help
each other. M. You allwant to go home? Yeah, in
(41:02):
one piece, in one piece,with all our memories and texts and all
that stuff. Yes, well,I mean are you sure? M Yes,
okay, it says, I toowish to return home. I believe
we can help each other. Okay, what do you propose? First of
all, where are you from?What's your home? What is the name?
(41:25):
Is not necessary? Well, I'mjust curious. Curiosity killed the cat,
but satisfaction brought it back. Oh, we're all just across the street,
like damn, maybe I've got himon that one an that it's like
(41:50):
quietly the ancestors his grandchildren. Soyou're not gonna tell me, no,
Okay. What I can tell youis that your friend, miss Crystal is
in grave danger. Yeah, she'sgot a lawsuit right now. Lawsuit is
(42:15):
nothing compared to what is a tryingto undo her? What is? It
can give me info on that theperson running the cult of Clarity may not
be what she seems. Okay,any anything less cryptic? No, No,
(42:37):
I can't be of too I can'tbe of too much. Assistance calls
you to is only cryptic. Itonly gives you a part of me so
awful. Well, I can say, doctor d that I mean kind of
duh, because we're from where we'refrom. Crystal doesn't look like she does
(42:57):
look now, she looks like aother Crystal who's not the real Crystal.
So obviously there's some something weird happening. So tell me something I don't know.
It's basically what I'm getting at.Tell you what you want to know,
something of value? He leans in. She leans back, also do
(43:20):
you ever take that mask off?It seems very awkward. I suggest you
hurry in assembling all of the itemsin the ry so that we can all
go home, or you'll end uplike me. Well, what art?
What tell me more about that?To motivate me, he lays a single
(43:42):
coin on the table and slides itacross the moonlight hits it just right,
and you feel a chill run downyour spine as you read the name of
the arcade that your family always visitedduring family reunions. Oh my, And
as you look up, he's gone. How loud is this scream? Oh?
(44:07):
Very loud. I pick up thearcade, I pick up I pick
up a coin, and I runout. I leave the way I came.
I tried to see you leave theway you came. Make me a
dexterity saving throw, and I haveD six right, yeah, fifteen?
(44:30):
Okay, so as you like inyour haste. As you try to leave,
you suddenly realize you'd looped the ropearound the chair, and you yeat
the chair off the ground, butyou managed to duck it and continue running
all alight. About the time youmake it to the gate, the rest
(44:50):
of you also make it to theother side of the gate. What do
you do? We're trying to wecan we see that there's a hole in
the door knob. Yeah, Taylor'sgonna try and bust it. Okay,
you're gonna try and bust on thedoor that isn't locked. She's gonna kick
it in or whatever. You're gonnatry to kick in the door that isn't
locked. Oh my gosh, lether do it. Let her attack roll.
(45:14):
Are you raging? Yes? Okay, so you go full rage mode
and you try to donkey kick thedoor open. Yeah, she's a person
right now. Not that she's nevernot. If she in rages, yeah,
if she you lose your That's interesting. I didn't know that. So
when you go into a rage,you get a horse's ass. I feel
like that. That makes sense.It's a large one, yeah, and
(45:36):
it's a large she turns into abig version of yeah, yeah, a
big ass horse. Yeah. Soshe does not do that successfully. Seven
okay plus athletics, right or something. So it's it's gonna be uh seven
is what you rolled? Right?I rolled a five? Okay? Five
(45:57):
to attack? I guess yeah,okay, so that's ten. Okay,
so ten is enough? To hita stationary door. Okay, roll damage,
which is what is just kicking things? A D six or something.
So I'm gonna say, because ofyours, it's gonna be a D eight
plus strength plus. I think it'splus two damage doors. I'm more concerned
(46:21):
about on the other That's what we'reabout to get to. It's gonna be
the fun part. So I rolleda four and then you said it was
a plus two, So it's fourplus strength five okay, nine, So
then plus two for raging. Soit's eleven. So you blow the door
off the hinges. Now, Amyen, I need you to make me another
(46:43):
dexterity saving throw and then do ICan I add the D six again you've
already used it, Okay, dexteritysaving throw is not very good. It's
six. So Taylor Jacobs runs uplike galloping charge donkey kicks the door off
the hinges and it just flattens Amiensand Amy and you take all eleven points
(47:07):
of dammag. Oh my god,Amen, I'm so sorry. Are you
okay? I'm fine? Where's theasshole? We're gonna get out of here,

still heading like in, He's likejust getting there. He's got his cane
and my little twenty five movement speedthe cane. As you're walking past us,
Taylor's gonna scoop you. I mean, I mean, Taylor Jacobs,
(47:57):
if you're trying to find a coolway to escape, you do have that
ambulant of the phantom chair. Yeah, definitely we're gonna I mean, I
mean, we don't have to runaway from this place. Nobody's chasing us.
But she's like, we've got urgentthings I need to tell you.
