Caught under a collapsing mountain, our heroes rush back to the surface in the hopes of catching the Celebration of Life for Berios Silverthrust!

Episode Transcript

(00:21):
Hello and welcome to Attackers of Opportunity. This is your DM Michael. I'm
sitting around a virtual table with someof my friends and we're about to place
of D and D bile. Withyour twenty one athletics, you are able
to grab the grab the stone andyou kind of put your arms around it.
You lift up. Fortunately you havenot been skipping leg or back day,

(00:44):
so you are able to muscle thisstone out of the ground. And
as you touch it and like fullon grabbing it to your body, arms
wrapped around, giving it a gianthug, it tingles and almost starts to
It feels a bit like burning,like there's bolts of energy jumping from cell
to cell in your body. Asyou are holding this either you get it

(01:08):
back a foot or two from theaway from the wall. All four of
you feel the stone around you beginto shake and shake and shimmy around you.
As the stone has been removed fromthe ground, the whole cavern,
the whole cavern, I run forthe exit. You're holding the bag a

(01:30):
sound by okay maybe now okay putit in quick you with the stone in
your arms, are you going toteleport everybody out using your helmet teleportation.
No, I don't have my armor. You don't have it, don't Yeah?
Put in fact, Yeah, thebig it goes through the outside of

(01:52):
the bag of holding, starts arcingenergy around it. This thing can be
there for a time, but itis going who react negatively with the pucket
dimension of the bag of holding fortoo much longer? Out of the bag.
There's not a teleportation circle here now, No, that we teleported to

(02:13):
and that he was going to backin town? Is there one that we
know of? You did not investigateteleportation circles in that's I don't know if
we knew because he mentioned the teleporting. I didn't know if there was like
a circle in town that we've teleportedto before. No. I just thought
that he knew the funeral area prettywell, so we could chance it.
But he doesn't have his home.Yeah, so we're gonna Why do you
think you again, why why didyou think we should teleport? If you

(02:36):
think it would not explode if weteleported? No, the cavern's falling down
around us. That yes, canwe go if everyone is running for the
exit, That is absolutely the option. Moonbeam. You're flying and small enough
that you don't need to do acheck. I need athletic check. Dimension
I dimensioned door. I thought dimensiondoor had like a sixty year one hundred
foot five foot Oh, I gowith you. No, here's the thing,

(03:02):
Jack. It was two hours tothe boil and then an hour hour
and a half through the tunnel.Yeah, that finally let you out in
this room. I think that's morethan five I understood that just this cavern
was the thing collapsing. That's whatI thought. Yes, you you can
dimension door into the narrow confined tunnelthat you all climbed into get to this

(03:25):
chamber. Yes, but the distancefrom this chamber to the burial is miles.
Now I want that, okay,So yes, you can get from
the middle of the chamber right tolike six inches in front of where the
tunnel starts. So you can justduck in and start climbing up. Absolutely.
Let me just make sure I'm smartand Noah, I think I might

(03:46):
just walk into the wall, allright, so don't out. Okay.
Well, if you have pulled thestone back out of the back of holding
you get over to where the entrancetunnel is, and this stone is not
that much smaller than the tunnel opening. If you don't have it in the
bag of holding. It's going tobe you know, a sisaphian effort to
push it up the cavern or pushup the tunnel as you climb up yourself,

(04:11):
and guess they will use the bigto transport it to the tael Okay,
so every everyone who is medium sized, I need an athletics check.
Valk yours is at disadvantage because youare the largest of the group. Moonbeam,
you don't have to make the checkbecause you're able to fly through the
middle of the tunnel. Problem.Right, dude, I am inspired,
and all use inspiration to roll normally. Okay, you, Dickie and I

(04:33):
still have to roll. We useathletics dimensioned doors out of there to the
tunnel across the cavern. Yeah,but the tunnel is a mile and a
half long. Even if you dimensioneddoor as far into the tunnel as you
could go, it's still not goingto get you all the way out right.
Wait, val Dickie, come here, grab my hand. I'm casting

(04:57):
fly on them. Yes, andmyself. It's at a fifth level and
I can do three hell yeah,hell end is much better than crawling through
a tunnel, Like hey, yeah, you do m D and D style
or not D and D eb Zdragon ball Z style flying where everyone just
kind of goes vertical in their theirheads are streaming out towards the wall or

(05:21):
opening. So yeah, so yeah, you all were able to find that
that was That's a fantastic solution tothat problem. Chris, have have inspiration,
jet I think you are. Thankyou, No, I don't.
I didn't have inspiration. We haveinspiration now. That is fantastic. Use
of the spelled solved the problem.Thank you. And the fly spell last
for how long? It lasts forten minutes, but our movement is now

(05:45):
sixty. Yeah, and I cancast it again. I also have fly,
but I can only do it onlike one person. So okay,
I'm just doing a little quick mathhere. If it's sixties your move spy,
that means you move one twenty andsix seconds. That's twelve hundred feet
per minute. We're talking a mileand a half. That's twenty five twenty
you call it eight thousand feet forthe easy math at seven minutes. At

(06:12):
seven minutes, you would clear thetunnel, so you would still have another
three minutes of flight back towards theburial chamber. Hell yeah, and even
that you could then cast the flyspell a second time and get back to
the burial chamber in twenty minutes.You know, the best part of the
handle may have is still in thetunnel and we're all partying. May have

(06:33):
left before us, she like droppedlike pruce. Yeah, like you guys
are idiots. I am quicker thanyou. Then we passed her. You
won't even know she went. Guaranteedwe get there and she's already there.
Yeah. Yeah. The to backsee actually have like auto climb speeds and
things like that. She would havebeen able togate that tunnel without a check.

(06:54):
No problem. We get back.She's drinking hand all right. So
you all after just you know,twenty minutes twenty five at the outside,
you are able to find yourself inthe graveyard of all of these dwarf and

(07:15):
warriors, noable figures, et ceterathat had fallen, all of these family
cryps and things of that nature,and you are, you know, fifty
feet away from where Barris was buried. All of the because it's been hours
walking down because you didn't know whereyou were going, so it was a
little trickier. But in the hoursthat have passed the of course, the
ceremony has gone back to the mealhalls and they are into the celebration of

(07:38):
life phase of the ceremonies. Soyou all are alone in a dwarf and
graveyard. And it was previously describedas there is sort of a stone castle
in one area where the leaders andthe rulers and nobility would be buried in.
There are all sorts of mausoleums,there are statues to families. There's
all sorts of things here, Andif you wanted to do grave robbing,

(08:01):
you could find stuff, sure that'smade. But but these are all people
that have been laid to rest inaccordance with their culture. Yeah, I
don't. I don't think that's somethingthat Dorian is interested in. I wanted
to think that even pops into ourminds. Yeah. I wanted to make
sure the players had the option ifthey so choose. I only robbed the
graves of other nationalities. Not Imean, wait, I mean of like

(08:24):
dead civilizations. Yes, that's it. Yeah, not the dead. Oh,
I see, it belongs in amuseum, is what you're saying.
That's right, savages or a deadcivilization. Mombem had some good luck last
time. But I'll be real,she's probably really distracted and stupendously excited about
this giant sapphire, so she justgot so are we gonna find you?
Just like lying on top of it. Every absolutely, it's just like it's

(08:50):
really impractical, but okay, soexcited. Just body oil. It's just
pixie dust AND's rule everybody. It'salmost like sweat, but flowery sweat.
Okay, Oh my god, dowe use her as like cologne? I

(09:11):
want to go out? We justlike get her all worked up and then
just like rubber our necks. Hey, maybe Dickie's got a date with a
centaur. You never know, that'ssure. You show Moonbeam. We're like,
hey, Moonbeam, look at this. Look at this sapphire. Yes,

(09:31):
let's talk about violets. There yougo, that's what doesn't Yeah,
well, I'm good at telling stories, so I tell you lots of violet
stories. So it's like a smallsweat. Yes. So if you're not
doing any of the if you're notgrave robbing and things of that nature,
I imagine you all are headed tothe Silver Thrust, a state where they're

(09:52):
having the fancy meals and the celebrationof life yes, yes, yes,
And I would suggest to Dickie thatperhaps we should make a bit an entrance
and let them know what we've done. A new castom, you know,
clean us up a bit. Ohoh, yes, yes, I prestidigitat
us all. And at the end, right before we're going in, I
will give Dickie guides. I bangthe gonge so the goo falls off of

(10:18):
your bodies as you are casting pressuredigitation on everybody, and it almost falls
off as gunk, as chunks oftar and oil and just it's nastiness,
and you were able to clean everyoneup. All right, Dicky, you
are making your entrance by ringing yourgong. All right, the gong rings,

(10:39):
the door opens. One of theattendants has seen you all and opened
the door. Dicky, I imagineyou are the first one through, and
the dwarves are standing around. They'vebeen drinking. They've had multiple whiskeys at
this point, even maybe some shotsof tequila have been happening, and they
are in festive mood at this point. You see couple them with like the

(11:01):
equivalent of a turkey leg and thingslike that, plates of food heaped around.
Everybody's been in conversation with the ringof the Gong. The conversation has
hushed for a moment, and youenter dong. I present to you the
Platinum Ring in honor of Various ArriusVarious and I didn't talk to myself.

(11:26):
I didn't think well. Varios goesin the kitchen in honor of the late
great Varios. We have conquered thedemons. Demons don't bite, that's what
they don't bite. We have conqueredthe stone blight and their hideous monstrousmalgamation of

(11:50):
evil that was powering them. Youare free. I'm going to use illusory
image to show what we were fighting. Yeah, I do the C three
po thing and I go wow wowtoo. Yes, like a still image
with us they're fighting it. Togive you know, perspective on the size,
I say, kill the lights onme, and then I narrate as

(12:15):
it as it all happens. Okay, So illusionary image will give you advantage
on this roll. Like a performancecheck. You have guidance as well,
So give me a performance role tosee how impactful this is on the reputation
of the Platinum Ring. You gotthis, oh me, sorry him because
he cast it. I gave youadvantage by casting that performances performance Yes,

(12:39):
she said a default for guidance.Yes, D four. He's giving you
advantage, so you're gonna roll twoD twenty oh yeah, and then and
then add the D four or evenall right, fine thirty two? Oh
no, I didn't need to ask, so I need to actually roll H
five Oh yes, thirty two?Hell yeah, there the performance lifetime okay,

(13:01):
max damage max you you've quit theperformance check. That would be a
twenty eight in itself with the guidanceof thirty two. That it's epic levels
of number. There are tears ropesin fanfare and celebration. There are dwarves
that will come up to you.They'll be patting you on the back,
you know, the gift of lifethat you have given this city an honor

(13:26):
of it. On the day ofthe laying of the rest of the lead
member of the Silver Thrust family,if you remember from several games in the
past, you've gotten this vibe wherea lot of people in town were kind
of annoyed at the Silver Thrust andthat they've been milking their connection to Barrios
for so long. You know,no one really felt like they've done much
for the city lately, and thatthe silver Thrusts were just kind of coasting

(13:48):
on their reputation. But you asfriends of the family, as people that
have been brought in restoring the name, doing an honor of the leader of
the family, and with the tellingthat you have done, the whole crowd
is just up in arms cheering forit all. And you have restored the
reputation of the silver Thrust family,and they will be leaders within the country

(14:11):
of Canos for generations still to comewith the effort that you all have done
them all right, So you allare at now the celebration of Barrels silver

(15:00):
Rust's life. You all have presentedyour story of how you defeated the first
of the dark lord creatures underneath theground, This this giant, three legged,
three on behemoth that you all haddone battle with, that was the
cause of the stone blight that hadbeen affecting not only the citizens of Canos,

(15:20):
but also the citizens of VALA's homevillage, which I'm suddenly blinking on
the name of what that country is, Tralia, China. So the you
all have ended the stone blight thathas been plaguing both the citizens of Canos
as well as the citizens of ValexstoneCountry of Tralia, which is above the
mountains that Canos is under. Youall are the talk of the town,

(15:43):
or at least talk of this particularparty, thanks to the A thirty two
performance check by your oratory bard totell your story of the Platinum Ring.
And these dwarves are beside themselves withenergy and excitement as to what all is
going on while the party is goingon. Though the occasional look back at

(16:03):
your bag of holding, the bagof holding will occasionally emit a little line
of electricity, a little spark becauseyou have that big gass magic sapphire in
the bag of holding at present.So at some point you may want to
handle. That's all I'm going tosay about that. But you all are
applied with food, with drink,wine, Scotch, whiskey, tequila,
and any and everything that you allwant. I'm sure that Moonbeam is just

(16:27):
having a blast. Oh, giventhe amount of alcohol she has consumed previously
in the campaign, she has ridinghigh after that lovely hall. Yeah,
so you all have pretty much anyonein town that you could think you might
want to talk to will probably behere. Like if you guys want to
say, oh, we want totalk to the may or, things like
that. Those types of people wouldbe at this party. If you all
just want to experience the party andenjoy and then go to sleep, we

(16:49):
can make that happen. I wantto give you the opportunity. Here's options
where you can meet network with dwarves. Otherwise we'll move on to kind of
the next event. Oh that's rough, OK. I got a question about
that. The I have a questionabout the chamber. Did it look like
it was completely falling to pieces orwas it just like a quick little tremor.
The tremors were beginning to build asyou moved. As you got further

(17:12):
down the tunnel, the stone aroundyou stopped vibrating. Whether that's because there
was a massive collapse or whether itjust rebalanced itself. You don't know.
You you got away from it ratherthan endured it to its conclusion, right,
yeah, and you got away fromit pretty fast. We did get
away real fast. Yeah. Awesome, all right, I'm gonna think if

(17:36):
y'll have something you want to do. Also, I would just like to
point out that I cast something otherthan old rich blast welcome, especially at
you Van. I was very impressedby you order, how you say amazing
wide, the range of writing,resourcefulness, yes, go almost a sick
and spill. And then you alsoare more utilizing of your abilities and an

(18:02):
attent to get this out of aprecarious situation. You did not simply cast
press the digitation and keep us clean. You got this the safety. You
are a true leader and valued memberof the plant numbering it seemed like it
hurt you. Are you all right, sonny? Okay? I just wanted
to make sure it gives Dorian ahug. God it does not feel good?

(18:26):
Yes, down, I feel somuch better now, Oh good,
I do not. I think Ihad a crack. So I have a
question for Vallek there, and I'masking because we established something. But it's
been several games, but the Dworshere were none too pleased with people from
Tralia. And you had done Vallek'svoice in doing a different accent. Are
you still doing that or are youtalking like normal Valiq now at this party?

(18:51):
Oh right, the accent? OhI am speaking with different exat okay,
what's talking? Funny? Took Chris? I just I wanted to check
because if you were speaking in anormal trolley and accent voice, you probably
would have gotten some comments and things. But if you're deliberately talking in the
other accent, we're good. Cool. I had to remember what the acceto

(19:15):
you sound like. William Shatner playingDracula. Yes, yes, exactly,
Children of the Nine. Wow,nailed it. I love it. Yes,

(19:36):
imagine actually got turned into a vampirethough. Wow. Yeah, all
right, all right. The partyprogresses well into the wee hours of the
next morning, and dwors will sometimescome and go. It's life still has
to happen, and that's part ofthe celebration that they're having. So people

(19:57):
that have to wake up next andearly in the next morning they leave early.
People that have just gotten off ofwork or from a business meeting they
show up at ten o'clock at night. Life continues going on all as a
part of this, you all kindof get treated like the honored guests of
the party. Especially after the tellingthat the Stone Blights have been defeated.

(20:19):
There's an occasional grumble of like,yeah, well, we thought they've been
defeated before, and they kept comingback. So there are a couple of
doors that are still a little youknow, resistant to the ideal, but
just because they've gotten set in theirways and expecting the next stone blight attack.
Not that they disbelieve what you're tellingthem. It's hard to break an
old pattern kind of deal, Elsie. Wo, yes, we electally they

(20:45):
won't see. It's just an expressionthat it's okay, but you see.
Oh, yes, We'll just keepwaiting. I know I will actually come
an attack because we already took careof it. Yes, and where I
meant they'll see by not seeing?What will they just nod and say yes,

(21:11):
right, sure a moonbeam? CouldI have a moment? Sure?
Right? Just I think I screwedup really well. I was trying to
remember where I had seen that bluestone that you found. I could not
remember it was It was just outof reach. And then I heard a

(21:33):
voice offer me the knowledge in returnI have given a favor, and I
think it's about to come. DoOh that is noticating I'm not sure yet.
It's something dealing with a lineage thathas ended before its time or something.
I don't know, but I wouldreally appreciate if I had your backing

(21:55):
in where we have to go,because it's either we go as a group
or I'm probably going to have toleave everyone. I'll stay with you,
Dorian if you're going where I thinkyou might have go. If you have
to go to the Fay Wilds,which is very possible. I hadn't considered
that a favor for who you havefavors due to is never a good thing.

(22:17):
I just I didn't want to takea chance that this rock could blow
up in our faces. Yes,I screw it up. I'm going to
have a drink. Thank you.Good idea. She could do a little
pat on the head and Dorian startsreally drinking. Good. Lot of you
have ever seen him do that?I've seen. Oh that's true. Yeah

(22:38):
that's great, but like on hisown, going like give me the bottle.
Yeah, it's weird. After severaldrinks, maybe will probably up here
next to Dorian attempt to slow himdown a little bit in his drinking.
I think that's a fair move.That Ellie would support you here Todaytunately,
we don't have Ellie with us today, but the party will continue. Moonbeam.

(23:03):
I would like from you, pleasesome kind of charisma based social skill.
It could be persuasion, it couldbe a performance. Just how friendly
and approachable are you in this moment? Deception. I somehow just got a
gnat twenty on that same die.So let's see I got if we're doing
deception, that's a twenty three.So you just straight up charisma, yeah,

(23:27):
twenty three. Okay. So oneof the dwarves comes over and kind
of like takes a couple of stumblingsteps and sees you, and he like
leans in and like leans out likehe's trying to get you in focus,
like he's trying to figure out howyou look so small and you must be
far away, but no, yousee him right there. They are a

(23:48):
little of their minds right now that'sso far gone with the tray, And
suddenly they stand up ramrod straight,and then they sort of lean in one
shoulder towards you. They go,well, moonbeam, that's why you've been
hiding, now, isn't it.Well, now that I know where you
are, I'll be seeing you andsomething. The person just collapses unconscious on

(24:11):
the ground from drink giant gulp asMobeam's holding like a cup. I think
she's gonna drop it. She dropswhatever she's holding. Okay, yeah,
you you dropped a little like almostshot glass size drink that you've been holding
on the ground and it shatters againstthe stone ground. I'll even say that
the liquid as it kind of arcsout from the cup, you see the

(24:34):
shape of a man's face in it, a faith that you remember owing some
favors too. Yeah, whether that'sactually the face and they and they put
energy into it, or whether it'sjust that you know, Worschek tested.
Now it's suddenly on your mind,so you see it in everything that is
maybe questionable, but certainly some ofyour old favors are maybe going to come

(24:57):
do what's what's that's nothing, don'tdon't worry about it. You should have
another shot. Ah, That's exactlywhat I've been saying. We moved on
to the celebration parked where you smashthe glass on the ground. Yeah,
and tradition. It's a thing.It's a it's a thing with machismo.
You wouldn't understand. Well, drainsa tankard and smashes it on the ground.

(25:21):
Is it made of metal? Itis tankred. It dunces back in
your face, It bombs on theground. The little bits of liquid they
were left kind of flat out asdroplets, and like one of the other
dwarves looks at you looks at themug, goes around and he throws his
mug on the ground, and suddenlythere's just wave of people throughout the party

(25:45):
draining, draining their mugs throwing onthe ground. You do hear some glass
shattering, as some people did have, you know, like the actual tumblers
and things like that, but everybodylike gives a big cheer and then heads
back to the bar to get anotherdrink. Yeah. I talk on the
table during that and I conduct yougo smash. I enjoy this beverage another

(26:06):
yes, and they give him coffee. Excellent. The party continues to progress
over the course of the evening,as I said, into the wee hours.
Eventually, even the greatest of constitutionshave to take a break from just
the constant drinking. And you allfind eventually the chambers that you all had
slept in before they've been made available. They've been prepped some of your packs

(26:27):
and things there, like you know, your armor and swords and everything are
here, and you all can easilybed down for the evening, beem to
not drink another after she dropped herglass, and she is definitely going to
actually be sleeping on that sapphire,so Okay, so she's taking the sapphire
out of the bad Yeah. Ithink it should be actual probably put like
a blanket over it just to coverit. But she is sleeping right on

(26:49):
top of that sapphire. Okay.I also think she has to take the
like feather out of her like liquidpack two, so that'll just be her
like little stuffy that she's gonna Yeah, the feather will absolutely you know,
it'll acts almost like a space heaterto keep you all night long. It
slowly drains the life out of you. You expectually has life to get the

(27:14):
next day. You all have someraw materials. You have the hunk of
gold for Dorian. You've got thepieces of Adam Nineteene, or you've got
this phoenix feather, although it's notcalled the phoenix because aren't phoenix is in
this world. You've got this giantblue sapphire. You have other things that
you guys may have picked up onyour travels. And you know, one
of the things that is stereotypical ofdwarves in D and D is they are

(27:37):
crafters, they are smiths. Theyare fabricators of anything that you may want.
So you have some rare materials,and you're in a town where you
can probably find people to build thingsout of them. So the next day,
with perhaps a little bit of hangoverstill lingering over some people's heads,
although even Vallex got a way tohelp get rid of that for most people,
do you want to spend some timein town or you have the images

(27:59):
the flashes that Valk has given you. You've gotten the turtle dragon who told
you about corruptions in the far eastFullman Kelerk back the elf that you all
talk to now, I think inreal time, like a year ago.
He told you about people making packswith demons to the west of you all.
So there are a lot of threadsout there, from pirates to demons

(28:19):
to the megaplot of the whole game. Do you all have a thought as
to maybe where you want to headtowards? Do you want to fabricate things?
At the moment you've stopped Gerard's planbecause you destroy one's artifacts? Hell
yeah, we did. You havea window to decide what you want to
do now for the for the worldor for yourself. I, as your
DM, would like to know whatyour thoughts are and things you'd like to

(28:41):
do, so that I can healprep future games, go to laying and
fight bio demons. Now, Imean there's the corruption. I personally,
I think both Moonbeam and Heather wouldlike to go to one of the corruption
places and at least get one ofthem taken care of. For the Turtle
Dragon, yeah, I think actuallyDorian and Chris are on board with that.
So wait, yes, in thecorruption that could seems like getto my

(29:04):
thoughts on time with the big esotericevil that Ballack is having visions of.
Quite possibly, And I don't likeleaving an old favor on the table like
that, I might as well chipaway at it, Yes, especially so
specific favor. You don't want tosave it till later. We want to
get that taken care of. Yeah, exactly. So there's one the two

(29:27):
locations, one is to the fareast in a swampland, and then the
other one is on the northern endof the Eastern Continent. So whichever one
might be closer? Both Eastern Soyeah, both Eastern Continent. Just as
a clarification point, one of thecorruptions is on an island north of the
Eastern Continent. Oh yeah, saysdormant island that's pushing itself upon the land.

(29:48):
Yes, excellent, remember exact exactlythe phrase that sounds like Dalc pushing
itself upon the land. I knewan island pops up, pushing itself.
That sounds like DALC eastreet up.Yeah. I don't know where that could
ever be coming cup. I wouldsay the closest would be the swampland land
where it's to the far east.It says it has corruption spreading in from

(30:11):
it to the ocean. Is itlike, is there a name for the
country to the far east? Idon't think I gave the name of the
country in the description. Is theturtle Dragon's not going to care so much
about countries as are about like location, Like how do we find? Yeah,
well, a swampland on the easterncontinent that's spreading corruption. If you

(30:33):
went to the Eastern continent where alsothe country's seen a small is which is
where the blue folks that you've encounteredwith have their country, you could investigate
there could be plot threads. Youall have now leveled up to the point
where more of the world is opento you to explore. Not so much,
DLC. It's you've unlocked the nextrange. Hell know, the other

(30:55):
continent is like he wunmocks more stuff. A new island in the ocean.
That'sdoc went right now, it's prettybig, yeah, and it's are there
mountains a small I mean there aresome. It's not a regular structure in
there. It's not a regular geologicalevent. They are more the plains of
Middle America than the mountains of theRockies or even the appellation. It looks

(31:19):
like Texas, the eastern part ofthe Eastern Continent. No, just to
the far east, swamp land hasgrown worse. Can I roll maybe history
or nature to know my geography ofthat area? That is gonna be nature.
I think right there, I rodesomething twelve. Yeah, now you

(31:41):
got the you got a plant story, the five leaf plant that was not
pot definitely not story, come froma jungle, and you referenced that that
was on Eastern continent. So youknow there's wild terrain over there. Whether
they're specifically swamp in an area witha twelve, I'm gonna have to say
that, No, you don't know. Am I able to figure out?

(32:05):
Like you know how in the northernhemisphere the right side of continents are more
lush and wet and the western sideof continents are dryer and then vice versa.
Am able to figure that out sortof thing. Oh, that is
an excellent angle of thought. Yeah, Roman nature again with advantage. Yeah,
I studied. I'm into biogeography.Environmental side. Let me see what

(32:28):
is its nature? Yeah, nice, I'm jumping jacks in your thought on
that. Yes, probably near theequator and on the east side would be
your greenest, your lushiest, yourmost jungled rain forest to bog kind of

(32:49):
terrain. And the equator if you'relooking at the Role twenty map. Ye,
the equator sort of runs. Actually, let me just draw a line.
Yeah, I'm like you. Yeah, so right now you guys are
actually almost at the equator on thewestern continent, but draws primarily underground,
which helps diffuse a lot of theheat that you may be feeling if you
were out if there were planes aroundhere. Okay, so it's so eastern

(33:14):
around the center, so it wouldbe like riish it could be could be
here, could be here, wecan skip his ma well, like the
lower part of it. It's kindof the equator. But I've been I've
been in my head. It's beensinus ma. Wow, it's like kristin

(33:36):
Sinism. Yeah, there, sowe can maybe start it, said the
east, so we can maybe startwith amah. Yeah, and yes this
area I like it, right thefurthest east because yes, the eastern side
of the contin swamp like and closerto the equator. So yes, around
here are we going to get thereis a question also preparation, and we

(33:58):
should learn all we can about swampsand the east. Libraries. Let's find
a library. We're in a city, Yes, we're in major city.
Well they find line that's been threewhole sessions just studying books. Yes,
oh, we could just make aroll. I like it. Okay,
so rolling from ration while studying atthe library. Yes, we can absolutely

(34:21):
do that. Moonbeam. Do youwant to utilize some of these precious resources
that you have found to try toget things made, created, used,
and if that's the face ideas ofwhat you might want them to be,
Like, do you want fairy sizedadamantine armor out of the or that you
have? Do you want a ringinfused with the energy of the fire feather,

(34:42):
things like that. If you thinkof maybe how you'd like to utilize
the item, I can then createa magical effect for it, but you
under if you'd like good. I'mthinking I don't know if there's enough for
this, but my first instinct islike fairy sized armor and then a circlet
of the Adamantine as well, infusingthe like feather. Okay, I dig
it, rule me a straight Dtwenty seventeen. Yeah, you think you've

(35:07):
just enough for like a breastplate withsome grieves and enough for the circling.
Nice. Tell the person who's goingto be working on this for you like
immediately asks where on Earth you gotthis? I'm sorry, we're on Tovarnin.
Did you get this? Um?Just like in a big cave?
And I think it's like crumbled now. But if you want a map,
I have a map, then wecan have more. The smith who's gonna

(35:29):
be working on this very much wantsto know a lump of this material would
set them up for life. Thiswould be like them joining the Millionaires Club
just to have a workable couple ofbillets of this so they're able to start
working on it for kind of theirwork compense. They will ask for the
map as to where it's from.They will ask for exclusive rights to mine

(35:51):
it. Since you're the one whodiscovered it, and yeah, I think
I think they'll they'll be happy thenmaking it the wizard who's going to have
to infuse it. He's gonna wantsome money though. Roll me a persuasion
check and we can role play theseout if you'd like, I just can
cut time. Yeah, okay,I got a odd twenty on persuasion.
Sweet for a thousand gold, hewill infuse the energy out of the feather

(36:13):
into the circlet. And if youtell him about the sapphire, he says
that he thinks he can get somesparks to the energy of that infused him
to the circle as well. Ohshit, Number one Monean still has no
money, so he wants to besugar daddy. Fine, I don't think
I have anywhere near that amount ofmoney. How much is than thousand thousand

(36:36):
gold? All right? I apparentlyhave that. Okay, I don't spend
my money. All right, Soit's a loan, right, I mean
you're you're paying that back? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, there's I have
a troll somewhere that I just don'thave it on me. All right,
We're going to write up a contractjust see all this happens, and you
will be paying me back. I'llgive you the lowest interest rate of all

(36:58):
my friends. Excellent. Good,I'm for it. I also we don't
have to do a full role play, but I do want to do a
negotiation with the smith who's getting theexclusive rights that a portion of the proceeds,
like will split it fifty fifty.Kind of thing like anything that he
discovers. So the smith will looklook down at you know, all right,
there's gonna be a lot of upfrontcosts to set up in mine operation

(37:20):
like that. Here's my counter off. I'll make you this gear right now.
It'll take about a week to makeit all to your exact specifications.
I'll put the money up front tomine it. After I have doubled my
initial investment, we will split fiftyfifty because we realize I'm gonna be putting
in something like ten thousand gold plusman hours to even get the first nugget
out of there. Well, consideringhow much it's all worth, I think

(37:43):
he'll be able to double it veryquickly. I agree. I'm thinking depending
on how buried it may or maynot be, in a couple of months,
showing you profit excellent, May Ihave the name of my future business
partner. Oh, pardon me,pardon me? How could I have not
introduced myself? I am random namedgenerally, there we go. I was

(38:04):
gonna say, if you want tohelp with the negotiation, I don't help.
I step in and go. SinceI fronted the money, does that
make me a partner as well?No? No, no, I'll pay
you back. It's thanks, allright, charging higher interest. No,
we already sign the contract. Ihave not written the contract. I'm writing
it now. Dicky that it wasthat moment think he realized, followed out

(38:25):
exactly m dock plate Basher. Yes, actually I can d o U D
d o U C P L AT E. Basher. Nice, nice
to me. Pleasure to meet you, as well as far as tap of
alma. You would lack out ofthis. There's not quite enough material to
make you like full plate over anything. Are you just looking for breastplate?

(38:49):
And I, Michael am trying togather like what types of armor your character
can wear to make sure that hemakes something that you can armor proficiency type.
I think you're a glove and justcut the fingers out at it,
right, Light armor, medium armorand shields. Okay, yeah, yeah,
so medium he can absolutely make youhalf plate, breastplate, scale mail,

(39:13):
chain shirt or hide, although itreally wouldn't work for high because it's
metal. Half plate would give youdisadvantage on stealth checks. With a breastplate,
there's no disadvantage on stealth checks withthat. It would be base fourteen
plus plus potential two decks mod.But it's going to be Adamantine, which
has its own benefit. You can'tbe kritz. Yeah, I think that's

(39:35):
it. Oh my god, that'sinsane. There's someone who says Adamantine is
a twenty three armor class. Iam going through the DMG, who I'm
pretty sure has an Adamantine armor.Oh, that's d here we go.
Is there a way? And I'mgoing to ask him this to infuse my
current armor with just like almost nutchain mail, but like a thin layer

(39:59):
of it all the way through.So it adds the Adamantine under what is
already basically my like eleven leather armor. Oh, if you wanted to make
it an Adamantine chain shirt, sureit won't increase your AC but it'll give
you the benefit of not being atany curt against you just becomes a normal
hit if you want the armor benefit. He has to make it into a
piece of armor. How much wouldit about my AC as a piece of

(40:21):
armor. I don't know what yourcurrent AC is seventeen seventeen, and your
dex mod is plus five plus threeplus three. It would actually I'll make
it a plus two as well,so that would increase your AC by one
if it's a breastplate, because withyour current armor you get your plus five
dex mood added to your AC.This limit, this limits your max DEX.
So on a non dex character,it's great. On a DEX based

(40:44):
character, it actually kind of sucks. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's the issue. Yeah, Adamantineplus two, it'll give you one more
point of acne. You can't bekrit, or you can keep your current
armor, turn it into a chainshirt and it will still give you the
benefit of you can't be krit andfor that it'll only be five hundred and
set of a thousand. You wantedto do the changer, I'll take the

(41:05):
bump to my AD. Yeah,and then not being able to be create
thousand gold, you have an Adamantinebreastplate plus two, I can now no
longer create you m the fire Amuletcirclet. Rather so I rolled an arcona
check for the wizard and he gota twenty six. Yes, so,
and I definitely show him the sapphireto get a little more oomf in there.

(41:29):
Gotcha. So you have a youdon't have a flame circuit circlet.
You have resistance to fire, resistanceto lightning, and once per day you
can cast the scorching ray spell.Yes, did she just get What is
this? It's a good one.I've had that one before. It's so
great. I mean I'm making anadding effects to that. There's a crown
of something or other that allows youto do scorching ray, and I'm adding

(41:52):
the fire resistance and the lightning resistance. Given the sapphire and the flame.
Hell yeah, hell yeah, weshould all be. That makes it really
a solid artifact to give you resistancetwo common element types like that, seriously,
Hell yeah yeah. And it looksso pretty. Or for the sapphire
itself, the Wizard kind of looksat you and looks at it, looks

(42:15):
at you and looks at it andgoes, I'll give you a fifteen thousand
gold for that. I know thatI can make more once I incorporated into
all the magical artifacts. I likethe way you think, but nope,
this is mine. Just be warnedthat if people find out that you have
things like that, there are forcesout there in the world that will be
very, very aggressively interested in it, so make sure you keep it in

(42:37):
safe spottle right, well, thankyou. So the wizard were kind of
nod. He'll do his work andit'll take him about two days to cast
and transfer all of the energy inaddition to the week that it would have
taken the smith to build everything.So for at least a week and a
half, you guys will have tobe staying here in town. Thank you
