[584.8s] For like so the has flame out and is it just like the flame is still lit
[590.6s] But it's just absolute darkness around it like it doesn't permeate. So it's just like a floating ball of flame
[597.9s] Yeah, like you can't even see it once you step into the star. Oh, you can't even see my flame
[601.8s] No, what's still there?
[603.5s] Okay, right you can feel the heat in your hand or however it normally feels
[608.4s] But yeah, like even the the the light from the flame tongue dissipates as flint walks forward jeez
[614.9s] Do I smell anything funny?
[618.3s] Yeah, it's like a
[620.2s] Yeah, like a musty
[622.7s] kind of like very
[625.5s] damp air kind of
[628.1s] scent and feel
[630.2s] the further in you go and
[633.1s] Do we what do we hear cavey drips?
[637.8s] creeping
[639.9s] Monsters now keep in mind Russ whatever you describe to us you have to then create
[645.2s] No, it's fine. Um
[647.5s] Yeah, you hear
[650.6s] Yeah drips that you would hear in a cave
[656.3s] You hear like soft clicking
[664.9s] Like it's erratic or
[667.8s] Metronomish
[669.2s] sporadic and it's coming at first just from in front of you how you can picture that this is
[676.1s] cavern on either sides of you is
[679.0s] Is is formed around you
[682.8s] But the further in you go you feel like the room opens up and you the clicking like this soft
[691.8s] Is all around you does the cavern get wider as we
[697.4s] Go through how wide was it to begin with like one person width
[701.1s] It was like one person width and it narrowed to a point and I just took it as you were just continuing to yeah
[707.7s] Flint yeah, you step it takes like that. It feels like you walk for about
[715.3s] 50 50 meters, so I
[718.6s] Did metric what?
[720.6s] Weird 50 meters. I'm just gonna stick with it. I like doing we're doing metric now
[726.4s] We live in Canada. Damn it. Yeah, we're gonna represent a metric system. Finally
[731.9s] Yeah, you walk for about 50 meters and you it feels like after you a point you feel like a
[738.8s] coolness
[741.0s] Hit your hit your skin and the room feels like it opens up
[747.7s] Still dark
[749.9s] But as you the four of you file in it feels damp and and as you step like it's
[757.9s] slippery and slimy beneath your feet
[761.1s] I
[763.5s] Can I try I don't think it'll work but Yanbal doesn't know that um, can I try to
[774.2s] Cast the spell light toward the clicky clacky sounds sure they're all around you
[780.4s] Which direction would you like to go? Oh, I'm feel very unsettled. I'd me too
[784.6s] I almost don't want the lights to come on. No, it's better. I guess like
[791.4s] Forward and up
[794.2s] So like in in front of us like I can target a creature
[798.4s] I mean
[799.0s] Obviously I don't exactly know where the creatures are or if they even are creatures and would you call someone doing a flamenco dance?
[805.2s] A creature I wouldn't it'd be rude. It would be quite rude. Oh
[809.6s] Unless you're like you beautiful creature. You're right because that would be nice by me
[814.9s] Depending who says it like if a woman said it I'd be like, no, that's nice
[818.0s] And if a guy said it I'd be like, oh, can you know it? Oh, that's actually oh
[823.4s] Do you want to know what it does or do you just want to tell me it's not gonna work sure
[826.7s] Give me give me what it does
[831.6s] It's just cruel. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm
[836.7s] I have to touch it. So I'm not gonna I'm just gonna reach out and touch the wall
[841.0s] I guess or whatever it is. I touch I mean you could touch me if you wanted
[848.0s] The wall rest is like, yeah, it's fine. I already said it. You're right that that would have been smarter
[853.8s] No, so he touched
[857.1s] and
[858.2s] The object sheds a bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet
[863.9s] The light can be colored as you like. It's going to be a beautiful rainbow. Oh
[869.8s] Yeah, you touch the wall and you feel
[873.0s] Like you immediately as you touch it like it's slimy to your fingers and
[880.0s] Like I imagine you put your fault your palm to it. I don't think I put I think you put my fingertips to it
[887.7s] Okay, you put your fingertips to it. What normal person because when you don't know you reach out with your fingertips
[894.3s] Yes, what she feels? Yeah, once she feels the goo. She's not like
[898.4s] spreads her fingers
[902.6s] We don't know yen bull that often she could be a real freak
[907.0s] Sometimes just likes a gooey gooey sticky feel of ooze between your fingers this episode was supposed to be more progressive
[913.2s] But we're just gonna focus on this made it one foot into this room
[918.0s] Welcome to being in this
[920.5s] Pyramid maze forever. Yeah
[922.8s] You touch your fingers and you feel this slime like fold over them as you press
[928.1s] Into the wall and then you feel something move as you cast light like it moves around your face
[934.1s] It feels small like a size of a like a fist size stone
[938.6s] but also
[940.1s] Smooth and slimy as it moves past you and you cast light and you you see that rainbow
[949.0s] illumination
[950.3s] Come out and it illuminates you you can see yourself and you can see
[957.1s] Just where your fingers touch the wall and this figure a small fist sized figure with like
[964.5s] purplish brown skin
[967.0s] looks at you with its one eye and then zips out of the darkness and
[972.2s] Then as it zips it zips out into the darkness and as you lose sight of it the entire room becomes
[979.7s] Not brightly lit
[982.0s] But you're able to instantly see everything around you and you see
[987.6s] hundreds of unblinking eyes
[990.2s] staring up at you
[992.0s] From the long walls of glistening green stone the floor of this chamber
[998.8s] Climbing up the walls is this viscous slime that drips from four stalagmites
[1003.8s] You
[1006.2s] Gross do you mean stalactites?
[1008.7s] Yes, stalactites they come from the top hang tight. No it drips from four stalagmites
[1015.0s] from
[1016.1s] From those say so down the sides of them. Yeah, yeah, this makes I don't like that either
[1020.5s] I like that less like volcano
[1024.3s] And it's dripping down
[1028.8s] Tell you how she doesn't like me what I say and I say what I mean, okay, it's the lagmites
[1034.5s] Goddamnit
[1038.6s] But they seem to be friendly us they're just or at least not unfriendly
[1043.3s] They are just staring at you these hundreds of eyes all around this room
[1049.0s] Can I
[1051.4s] Scan calmly and look for the exit you can
[1060.5s] Make an investigation check
[1062.6s] Investigate the shit out of this
[1069.8s] 13 13
[1073.1s] Okay with the light from
[1075.7s] flame tongue and the fire that you can now see in your hand and the
[1080.0s] Rainbow
[1081.0s] Illuminescence from yen bulls light beautiful by the way
[1086.3s] You look out into the room and all of this light
[1091.4s] About another
[1093.9s] 50 meters begins to dissipate and it gets darker
[1099.0s] towards the center of this room and you look back to the cavern that you walk through and
[1104.7s] It appears
[1107.7s] Like a loop I can extend it like almost like kaleidoscope effect
[1113.1s] You see an opening down at the far end of a hallway, but it seems like it's hundreds
[1119.6s] Hundreds of meters away. Sorry. That's when we just came down when you just came through like it seems like it's forever away
[1126.5s] And we do see another similar or it's sorry
[1129.6s] We just see darkness you head you see like the room opens up wide and about 50 meters. You see
[1136.2s] the
[1137.4s] You see like this darkness kind of rolled down right at that 50 meters. I think we have to continue
[1146.4s] going I
[1148.6s] Think so too. What else what else do we do we cannot?
[1153.1s] just
[1154.6s] Stay here. Oh, there's so much goo you guys. It's so I touched it. I wish I had not
[1162.6s] Although I'm happy for the light. I wish I had not
[1167.2s] Stuck my fingers. Well, I think that might have been like kind of like, you know turning the lights on
[1173.6s] Let's hope
[1175.2s] These small creatures are friendly
[1178.6s] Um as I look at the one-eyed creatures, do I know what they are?
[1184.2s] Yes, good question make an arc and a check I
[1191.8s] Rolled a nat 20 old in 19
[1195.6s] Damn, I think we know things. I'm not even gonna roll
[1199.5s] with a nat 20 especially
[1202.4s] you recognize them as
[1204.4s] You recognize their their makeup and their structure it looks kind of
[1211.9s] Beholder ish, but you've never seen one this small. Oh god. We're like in a beholder baby nest
[1222.6s] Yan bull
[1224.6s] Do these look a little familiar to you?
[1227.5s] I am sorry to say they do they look like you know a beholder
[1232.4s] These are just but like tiny right like tiny babies. I wonder where's where mama is
[1238.6s] yes, exactly what I was thinking what if mama comes home and there is
[1243.8s] There is all these hundreds of babies. It is a bad place to be between the mama and her babies now
[1249.0s] Are they literally?
[1251.0s] Everywhere like we have to wade through them. They're only on the walls. Okay. Oh, I don't like that. I
[1258.1s] Think I like that worse. Yeah
[1260.9s] But it's all jelly on the floors, yeah, it's like this slimy ooze
[1266.8s] After birth
[1271.2s] Tom's face
[1273.3s] Flint's just silence like fuck what am I what am I doing here?
[1277.1s] I guess we just maintain a steady pace and try not to
[1283.6s] Make anything too excited to the fact that we're here
[1287.4s] It's a good plan
[1288.9s] Yes, yes slow and steady
[1294.6s] Maybe we just we walk forward
[1298.1s] slowly
[1300.1s] I'm imagining like flints may be looking forward Diaz looking to one side yen bulls looking to the other
[1307.0s] Manix is looking behind
[1308.9s] Cuz we're kind of surrounded by these little one-eyed thingies and just slowly and cautiously
[1314.3s] Cautiously
[1316.0s] Walking forward no sudden movements. No loud noises. Nice steady pace. He is talking sweet
[1322.4s] Oh, you guys look so calmly
[1325.4s] Probably nap time with every step you take the eyes follow you
[1331.8s] On your location until you get there are four of these stalagmites as I said in there
[1340.1s] Further in you walk you have to walk around them
[1344.3s] and you get between them and that
[1347.8s] This it's the further in you walk you lose out of the periphery with this darkness effect
[1354.4s] that is following you and you get between these stalagmites and
[1359.3s] it
[1361.6s] Sucks up around you you lose sight of all the unblinking eyes
[1368.5s] You see just the edge of these stalagmites and the ooze dripping down and then all around you
[1374.2s] a voice echoes you hear this like
[1380.3s] What are you doing here Oh
[1386.5s] Just passing through just quietly
[1395.6s] Peacefully
[1398.3s] Passing through the nursery
[1401.0s] Almost from right behind you Thea the voice
[1405.2s] again says
[1407.0s] No one just passes through here. Oh
[1411.6s] God
[1412.7s] well
[1414.4s] May I ask why?
[1417.2s] Because here and then the voice is behind Yen bull
[1423.1s] Is where people come to be eaten?
[1430.3s] Oh
[1437.4s] Well, they would prefer not to be eaten we like strike a deal or something
[1444.3s] We would love to just continue on our way and get out of get out of your
[1451.4s] Out of your way, please
[1454.9s] What?
[1456.7s] Do you have to offer me?
[1460.4s] What?
[1464.0s] What do you most desire
[1468.9s] It's a bold strategy we probably don't have that but let's find out let's find out. Mm-hmm
[1475.4s] How can you procure something so grand?
[1483.2s] Well, what's grand to some might not be grand to others what is it you wish
[1491.2s] There's a pause and then the clicking comes again
[1497.6s] As if from behind each of you separately like this thing is moving in the darkness around you gross
[1505.9s] And then the voice comes from all around you again as if from above
[1512.4s] It says I wish for my freedom
[1515.9s] I
[1518.8s] Well, don't I have some news for you but first why why would why do you want to be free?
[1527.4s] Would you like to be locked in a cage with hundreds of your spawn for eternity? No, it sounds awful. I'm so sorry. I asked
[1536.6s] Well, we are here to
[1541.2s] essentially
[1542.1s] Liberate everybody from this flying fortress
[1549.4s] That includes you mama
[1554.2s] There's a long pause
[1558.9s] And then that you hear that
[1562.1s] clicking again all around you and like this whoosh or flit through the darkness and
[1568.8s] And
[1571.6s] Then like this
[1573.9s] Murmured wine starts to well up in the room
[1578.6s] And then it's silent all at once
[1584.4s] By liberation do you mean death
[1588.8s] Because so far you have brought death to everything
[1594.1s] Well, I mean and
[1596.8s] Yanbal Flint, I'm sure you guys will back back me up here, but
[1602.9s] Well those things
[1607.0s] Didn't talk to us as you have and
[1612.0s] display the
[1614.0s] kind of intelligence and
[1616.4s] You know
[1617.7s] Emotional state that you have we've been
[1620.9s] Attacked at every turn since we've come here. So
[1624.9s] We come peacefully unless otherwise provoked as I'm sure
[1630.6s] You do too
[1633.6s] Also, those zombies were totally undead. They weren't getting out of here alive. Anyway, I
[1641.5s] Do feel for the sea creature though
[1646.0s] The abelith of equal intelligence
[1649.2s] Equal intelligence slightly lesser I was gonna say could have helped you
[1659.6s] It struck first
[1663.7s] There's long pause again you hear dripping and like
[1670.2s] Movement in the ooze
[1674.4s] Listen we just kind of assume that you are all working with the lich what
[1679.2s] Are you here for?
[1685.7s] We're here for we're here for the amulet of wonder
[1692.4s] And to kill that fucking lich
[1695.2s] Well, I don't think he's gonna just give it to us, but maybe he will make
[1699.8s] Now that we know that there are
[1702.4s] beings here held
[1705.1s] People you know against their will I feel like it's more than that now
[1713.0s] Things are summoned here to prevent people like you to get through to Shangalar
[1724.5s] Summoned here against your will
[1729.7s] There's the sound of movement behind you yen bull
[1734.9s] and
[1736.2s] you look to either side and you see the darkness begin to
[1742.3s] Fold back you see more of the stalagmites and even
[1747.4s] Goes up to the wall where you still see those unblinking eyes staring up at you
[1754.1s] Do you specifically turn around right away or do you just keep looking in the direction you're looking?
[1761.2s] I
[1762.8s] Don't know that I would turn around
[1766.6s] Then Thea and Flint and Mannix you see as this this darkness unfurls from your location a
[1775.6s] Wait
[1779.4s] You said that we recognize them as beholders
[1784.4s] Like beholders you didn't get no one had ever seen
[1787.6s] Right a teeny-tiny beholder, but do we know like what a beholder can do
[1795.0s] Now that we know what the creature is
[1797.6s] She rolled a net 20
[1799.0s] I'm just saying no because if it's like don't look at it in its eye otherwise
[1802.5s] It's gonna freeze you to death or something like that and that's information that we should have had before I think it's important
[1808.5s] No, yes good question that the net 20. I'll give you more information on the beholders so beholders generally
[1815.3s] In the strictest sense of terms have 10 eye stocks and one main core eye
[1822.5s] With a net 20 you know that they don't breed
[1827.6s] Beholders are dreams of other beholders so it's dreamed all these hundreds of dreams into being well
[1833.5s] We assume well it has been yes certainly
[1837.1s] Unfortunate and seems like a them problem, but whatever
[1841.1s] Anything else you want to know about the beholder yet looking at them
[1844.8s] It doesn't there's no Medusa effect that you know of
[1848.7s] But each eye stock does have a different
[1852.4s] Ability that when activated can do anything from charm up to death
[1858.4s] Right this one just kills ya yeah, but as the light rolls back
[1864.4s] Thea Flint and Mannix you see
[1869.0s] Hovering above and just behind yen bull a
[1875.6s] purple skinned
[1878.2s] mottled
[1880.0s] Beholder large eye in the center and two of its eye stocks appear to have been
[1887.0s] maimed or damaged in some way
[1891.3s] You think you can destroy Shangri-La
[1898.5s] We've done crazier stuff I mean I mean we did fight team at yeah
[1905.7s] and survive
[1908.8s] Well mostly for the most part we do not know that we can beat Shangri-La, but we must try
[1916.6s] He destroyed Kallen port sounds like he brought you here against your will
[1921.9s] What else can we do but fight?
[1926.0s] Interesting do you not want to fight for your freedom?
[1930.7s] rather than
[1932.4s] Being here with all of your dream children forever. I would fight for my freedom
[1940.7s] And I would fight Shangri-La with you however. I am bound to this
[1948.0s] cavern
[1950.2s] Is there a specific way to unbind you
[1956.2s] Maybe a magic orb or something or something that we could smash and and you could
[1962.7s] break free and come help out in the
[1966.3s] crux of the battle I
[1969.2s] Have been cursed and there is a key
[1975.4s] Feel like this is a side side quest side side side quest
[1982.1s] Shit
[1983.7s] Guys, I don't know what my goal is anymore. Yeah, sorry. We'll spend three years doing the side quest
[1989.5s] I will come
[1992.2s] We've got to find this key for this beholder I
[1996.4s] Will help clear the way if you can release me
[2000.5s] The key was sent to the OTOX layer. Do I know what an OTOX is?
[2008.4s] Yeah, you fought one
[2010.5s] No, no
[2013.5s] Is it one of those those
[2015.7s] Things that can change into the child no, okay. No no no an OTOX is a like a giant
[2024.3s] like garbage monster
[2027.6s] Eats basically everything trash monster basically a trash monster huge like almost like well
[2033.8s] It's like hippo like formation, but like giant huge claw or teeth
[2041.0s] and gaping ma
[2043.4s] cool and generally
[2045.6s] People use them to dispose of trash
[2049.7s] Neat so the garbage room awesome. Yeah
[2055.9s] Well, you know what I'm sure that there are many different layers of this
[2062.2s] Pyramid
[2064.4s] And we happen to find ourselves in a lot of the the dangerous bad ones so odds are
[2072.0s] We will end up with the OTOX. Do you know what the key looks like?
[2080.1s] All right, maybe it'll be we know when we see it kind of thing
[2084.3s] Do you do you get to speak with any of the other creatures had that have been?
[2090.7s] Summoned here against their will there are rumbles through the walls that warn of passers
[2099.0s] Would you be able to
[2101.2s] Rumble a little message forward that we are on the side of on your side
[2108.2s] That we would like to not battle at every turn, but save our strength to to fight
[2117.5s] Shangalar
[2119.8s] We would prefer to
[2122.4s] Gather our strength and fight Shangalar
[2126.7s] Instead of instead of all of you who have
[2130.9s] Really nothing you have nothing in this battle, but your freedom
[2136.0s] Can you do that?
[2140.0s] How do I know you will come back with the key
[2145.3s] Well now that I know we have to come back with the key that's an important piece of the information
[2150.5s] I thought maybe it was an orb we could smash or like
[2154.7s] Smash or like, you know something like a something that we can mess up
[2159.3s] we will
[2160.6s] because you because having a powerful beholder like you on our side during this fight would be
[2168.5s] Unbelievable, it could tip the scales. You could be the difference between
[2172.9s] Winning and setting all these creatures free or us losing persuasion check. I
[2179.8s] Think I'm being pretty earnest
[2184.4s] Um
[2187.2s] Seventeen
[2190.7s] You see the darkness lift around this room and
[2198.3s] In the direction you were walking you see four caverns
[2207.3s] I will tell you which one to go down
[2209.8s] Now
[2213.5s] Thank you, do you have a name
[2219.1s] Yes
[2222.9s] I'm thea
[2225.6s] I'm yen bull flight and i'm manic's
[2233.4s] It floats up higher into the room
[2237.4s] And says I am for booksy
[2240.1s] you
[2243.0s] Thank you for booksy
[2247.0s] We'll meet again
[2250.4s] We will return with this key and you will help us fight for freedom
[2258.2s] The beholder before you squints
[2262.0s] The eyes
[2263.9s] Around the walls flitter between you and the beholder
[2268.2s] I'm watching watching mommy have an important conversation. Uh-huh
[2275.8s] You look back to the caverns that became clear and now there is only one
[2288.3s] We'll hurry then and for buxy moves higher up towards the ceiling and you lose sight of them in the darkness
[2298.0s] Um
[2301.2s] I walk forward to the the one exit that we have and as we do I go
[2307.1s] Oh my god, I can't believe that worked you guys
[2309.6s] That was awesome
[2314.6s] You carry forward through the room
[2317.2s] The slime squishing beneath your feet the eyes following you as you continue to walk towards this singular passageway before you
[2327.7s] You carry through and it winds down a long dark corridor
[2339.5s] You walk for
[2342.0s] Several minutes
[2344.0s] before you see
[2346.0s] Light the floor beneath you gets less and less covered in slime the farther you walk
[2352.4s] You see light shining up ahead
[2355.5s] and the sound of
[2359.3s] Chomping
[2361.2s] like grinding of teeth
[2364.4s] and
[2366.1s] sludge
[2367.6s] Like being forced, you know, like you slurp mud through your hands
[2373.5s] Like say you were some kind of trash eating monster. Maybe maybe
[2378.5s] excellent
[2380.0s] Perhaps we can find the key sooner than I had thought
[2383.8s] Yeah, I kind of thought there'd be a few more to get to but
[2390.0s] How hard could it be
[2393.0s] Well for you you have fought a dragon it is probably not so hard but it is a a fierce disgusting creature like
[2402.2s] I'm thinking like needle in a haystack or we uh fought one of these a long time ago
[2409.9s] And they've got a lot of uh
[2414.1s] Well, there's a lot of like teeth on their tentacles and they got really strong chompers in the kind of the center there and
[2423.1s] I want to say something to do with like
[2426.7s] Mind powers as well, but it's it's been so long. Oh, this is good news
[2433.2s] I too can speak telepathically to creatures that can speak telepathically
[2439.4s] We could have maybe another creature on our side. Perhaps we can talk to the garbage monster
[2446.7s] Maybe you don't call him a garbage monster though when you talk to him. Oh, yeah, that's probably good
[2451.8s] All right our um, are we ready?
[2456.2s] Does anyone do you think?
[2462.4s] I suppose we are as ready as we were going to be. Yes. Yeah
[2467.1s] You carry forward and the passage opens up more as you walk along the light gets brighter and inside you see this
[2474.6s] yellow
[2475.6s] Illuminescence
[2477.0s] Lighting this room you see heaps and heaps of garbage and dung
[2483.1s] And beyond you see movement of a large creature like the back of it over one of these mounds
[2490.7s] you see
[2492.6s] Cut through and like a passageway through you see
[2496.6s] skeleton walk by
[2498.7s] carrying
[2500.1s] a mound of
[2503.0s] You can't quite put your finger on what it is nor would we want to or would you want to
[2507.9s] But carrying it over you see it
[2511.3s] Walk by with this material
[2514.4s] You hear like this drop sludge drop and then the skeleton walks back in the same direction that it went
[2523.4s] Um, so as you walk in
[2525.9s] You're like face to face with a perimeter of this
[2531.8s] Bile and feces and just garbage material you can see through and over a little bit to see
[2539.6s] At least one creature
[2542.1s] To get around it. You'd either have to go over it or
[2546.2s] There is pathway around either side in order to walk around the garbage refuse
[2554.5s] How tall is it?
[2556.2s] um
[2557.2s] If you can see kind of in spots over it like it's probably going to be between five and six feet and then another
[2564.9s] um
[2566.2s] 10 to 15 feet like deep
[2569.6s] Into the room
[2571.1s] And areas it is piled much higher
[2574.6s] As you walk around
[2576.2s] Or as you as you know as you look down
[2579.7s] What if?
[2581.4s] You had a magic carpet
[2584.6s] And you didn't have to
[2587.0s] Trudge through the bile and feces as you just described it
[2593.1s] I mean, it's what it is
[2595.4s] Careful carly's gonna do something awful to your magic carpet. I know
[2599.7s] I can't just trudge through the grossness. Yeah when you have an option not to walk through
[2606.2s] Shit
[2607.9s] You gotta take it. How far away is the creature from me?
[2611.4s] um
[2613.4s] You could probably say from where you can see it that it's about
[2618.7s] 50 feet away
[2620.9s] And I can see it's like the it's back. Yeah, you can kind of see it like moving
[2625.1s] You know the back of it moving towards one of these piles
[2629.8s] Um, then i'm going to reach out to it telepathically
[2635.7s] Um, because I can do that up to 60 feet, okay
[2639.2s] Um, and we don't need to share a language if it can also speak telepathically. Yes
[2645.6s] Hello, please do not be alarmed
[2650.1s] We are entering your home
[2653.0s] Please do not hurt us
[2655.0s] You haven't magic carpet lifted yet. You're just still standing on the ground
[2659.6s] I didn't want to like start just like up here and startle it exactly. Hello. Um watching the the creature you
[2667.9s] I'm gonna say that you sense two
[2671.4s] You now sense two creatures when you reach out telepathically within this range
[2676.3s] And you see the one that you were you had eyes on like raise its head and its tentacles move up
[2683.1s] And it begins to look around and says who who's there?
[2693.8s] Hey, we're in the middle now nice to see you
[2697.8s] How's everybody doing?
[2699.7s] Amy's dying. Amy's dying. I'm dying. It's too hot hot. Everyone's melting
[2705.4s] You know whenever it is too hot. I always think ah, remember when it was not too hot and I was like
[2710.2s] I'll never say that it's too hot
[2712.6s] Now's one of those days when i'm like, ah, but maybe it's a little too hot
[2716.2s] I don't really feel like I ever say that because I I just want temperate like this is why I live in a temperate climate
[2721.7s] I just want it to be not too cold and not too hot like mid-20 celsius for
[2727.5s] ideals
[2729.0s] For summer perfect. Yeah, it's good five degree day. That's 25 would be like 80. Whatever the number is. It's like comfortable
[2735.9s] Yeah, it's it's warm enough. You can go swimming and my garden still grows, but it's not so hot that you
[2741.6s] Think you're gonna perish exactly like right right now me. So that's what we're talking about today is how we're all
[2748.2s] Perishing from the heat and how we're gonna take a few weeks off coming up in august

[2846.4s] But they but your grandparents make you go to bed at six o'clock because that's when they go to bed
[2851.2s] No, no, no, no, no, you're going at this the wrong angle

[2951.3s] we
[2952.7s] We don't have
[2954.9s] What
[2958.2s] Is this your home you hear stomping of feet and then the second one comes into view and they're looking around at each other
[2966.8s] Yes home food
[2970.2s] I'm going to appear do not be surprised. Okay, so I take out the carpet and I say yeah tear
[2978.4s] And then it is flying we can get on it
[2980.7s] Oh, I oh I hop on see is like my friends come on on I am I'm trying to communicate with the creatures
[2987.9s] So hopefully they do not immediately attack. Does anyone have anything?
[2992.5s] Delicious they could offer the creatures
[2995.2s] Oh
[2997.2s] Thea um goes into her bag and shamefully pulls out like
[3001.8s] like a double
[3003.4s] cloth wrapped sack of like
[3006.2s] Bad cheese and bread that she's been meaning to toss
[3010.6s] But like hasn't just in case you get desperate. Yeah
[3013.6s] Well, she's like I think if she were in high school in the bond with the back
[3017.0s] She'd have quite the messy locker like there is a questionable top of our container back there
[3022.8s] Yeah, so that's it she hands you her questionable topperware container
[3026.7s] Okay, you rise up above the filth and the awful and the the stench as you rise
[3032.8s] it
[3034.2s] It you didn't like it was it was a bad smell
[3037.2s] But the higher up you go it is just rancid in this room
[3042.5s] And as you clear these piles you see these two creatures who then turn
[3048.3s] To your direction you see their tentacles waving wildly towards you
[3054.1s] and they
[3055.2s] Look to you and then begin
[3057.1s] Like stomping like almost like a dog does when it's excited about you going towards the treat cabinet
[3065.1s] That's kind of the picture. I want to paint here
[3067.9s] Food you brings food
[3071.4s] Give food
[3073.7s] What is your favorite kind of food food?
[3076.9s] There we go
[3078.4s] That could have been a dangerous question. Yeah
[3081.7s] But but
[3083.0s] What are you going to do for the food?
[3085.2s] Do we eat food?
[3087.5s] Yes food. Yes, I have much food for you, but
[3092.5s] I'm looking for a key
[3094.9s] Do you know this key?
[3096.7s] They cock their head and their tentacles kind of wave around
[3102.0s] Can we go?
[3103.7s] Like because we're still quite a ways away
[3105.4s] But close enough that I can like tear off a couple of pieces of bread and throw one to each of them
[3111.1s] Sure. Yeah, you could like a little move around and as everybody else I assume first taste is free
[3116.6s] That's right. I assume yamble you're focused on the two creatures. Everybody else. Are you looking around the rest of the room?
[3124.0s] I'm on key duty. Yeah. Yeah, I figure i'd be looking around like maybe it's hanging from a wall somewhere
[3131.3s] Sure. Yeah you uh
[3133.6s] Make an investigation check as you're looking around
[3139.7s] Went great nine it was it was on 17
[3144.1s] And then flick to the seven. It could have been a 19. It's not super strong 15
[3150.5s] Stronger than a nine
[3152.3s] Huh? This is true. How about Mannix? What's that dead weight doing that world of two? Yeah, right?
[3159.3s] You know why he touched a mirror and now he hasn't been the same since he's useless
[3163.6s] Has anyone else noticed that?
[3165.6s] Totally. God damn it. All of a sudden. He doesn't know his daughter's dead and he's like
[3170.0s] Life's great. I have no motivation to be helpful, right? Why am I even here? I don't know. It's fine
[3175.6s] I just thought i'd help these weirdos
[3178.2s] Um, okay, you're looking around the room flint you catch eyes on
[3181.2s] Uh on this skeleton that you saw and it's walking back and towards the like the right as you're looking in the room
[3188.2s] Uh, you see a crack in the wall and you see this skeleton like disappear
[3193.0s] Beyond it, uh thea you're looking around and it's just
[3197.2s] Everywhere is just piles of this refuse. I just say to flint what a dump
[3202.9s] Um, okay back to Yenbul. Sorry, uh, you toss a piece of food
[3207.7s] Yeah a piece of uh
[3210.2s] A bread to each of them
[3212.0s] Um, they snatch it up and say it's barely there
[3216.6s] If you want the good food, I want your help
[3219.4s] What?
[3221.9s] I am looking for a key
[3224.8s] They look around you know what key is
[3227.9s] uh
[3230.6s] Yeah
[3232.4s] key
[3234.2s] Give food. I give key. Well, let me see key. I give food
[3239.9s] Make a persuasion check
[3244.3s] It's a good old fashion persuade off. Yeah, it's a good old fashion
[3247.4s] You give me the goods first and then i'll give you the stuff
[3251.2s] I have advantage on persuasion roles. Of course you do. That first one was 20
[3256.6s] Not a nat 20 and then a bad roll. So let's go with 20
[3261.8s] What you give
[3263.6s] What food more little food?
[3266.6s] We eat you
[3269.7s] No, you don't eat me
[3272.5s] Yeah, we ate others
[3276.2s] No, why would you eat others they put in pile
[3280.4s] We eat
[3281.8s] one of them begins to move over and is like
[3284.9s] nosing through the refuse
[3287.4s] You find key
[3290.2s] It stops and looks back at you never mind
[3295.7s] And goes back to going through the piles
[3301.0s] I have this very delicious stinky cheese
[3307.0s] Is small but very delicious
[3310.5s] Small need more and then begins to walk over to another pile of refuse and nosing through it
[3318.3s] You hear the clacking of
[3322.0s] Bones flint at the wall you were watching there where the skeleton disappeared and you see the heads of two skeletons
[3329.3s] uh begin to enter the room
[3332.0s] while these uh otx are
[3335.3s] Nosing through this refuse they haven't explicitly said they're looking for the key, but you get a feeling that that's what they're doing
[3344.7s] Um, I guess I should tell uh flint and thea what's going on because they are not hearing this telepathic conversation
[3353.0s] They I I think they are looking for the key they want food they want more food. What else do we have?
[3360.1s] Good question. Um
[3362.2s] I mean, I look in my pack. I mean we certainly all have like rations rations and food with us
[3370.5s] Yeah, like any prized christmas hams that maybe I forgot about in my stack
[3375.0s] Maybe you seem like a man who carried like a lot of meat around with him, you know
[3379.7s] That is certainly true a lot of cured meat. Yeah like flint's turkey legs
[3385.5s] The two skeletons at this point you see that they're carrying
[3389.8s] um
[3391.8s] piles of
[3393.9s] like animal carcass and like plant like decaying plant refuse and
[3402.3s] um
[3403.8s] That type of material and they walk to the center of this room and both of them drop it without paying any attention to you
[3411.5s] And turn and leave the room
[3414.8s] And the otx stop turn
[3417.9s] Uh to the material and run over to it and say they brought more food no job
[3424.6s] And they begin eating the material I made this food come
[3428.1s] You asked for food. I asked for key. You look for key. I make food appear
[3434.6s] Um, how does the magic carpet work?
[3437.6s] Like if it were to have if you were to have to make a dexterity saving throw
[3440.8s] Would it be you that would have to make that?
[3443.6s] I think so that makes sense. She controls the carpet. Yeah, so um
[3450.5s] It moves according to my spoken direction, okay, so it's a deck. Yeah, so i'm controlling a deck saving throw then
[3463.8s] Nat 20 fuck yeah plus three and I get a plus one on save so 24
[3470.0s] Uh
[3471.1s] Right before this tentacle jumps out at you the otx says
[3475.4s] Go find better more food and then this tentacle snaps out trying to grab the magic carpet, but you whip back
[3483.4s] So
[3484.2s] You want more food?
[3486.0s] I bring good more bigger food. You give me key
[3490.1s] Yes, like this food and they are eating the food that the skeleton brought it or food quote unquote
[3497.0s] Yeah
[3497.9s] Um, it's the only exit this like crack in the wall where the skeletons are emerging to and from you would have seen
[3506.8s] I like that. We're going on a side quest of our side quest of our side. Oh, yeah
[3511.1s] A lot of side questing happening here
[3514.2s] um
[3516.2s] Yeah, there's uh, so off to uh the right in the room
[3520.3s] you saw where the skeletons were coming to and from off to the left flint thea and
[3526.1s] Manix you would have by this point seen that there is a another opening off into the left
[3531.4s] They want more food bigger food rotten dead food
[3535.8s] oh
[3536.8s] um
[3538.1s] Do we go forward try to kill creature bring creature back give to them or
[3543.1s] Do we go back the way we came get giant dead ogres?
[3547.7s] Oh
[3548.8s] How do we get them back here?
[3551.9s] I don't know. What's a dead ogre way ross
[3554.9s] Give me the weight on a dead ogre or the dead or the giant creature. Yeah
[3559.0s] Oh the apple probably like five or six hundred pounds
[3562.6s] Then that's no problem. The magic carpet can carry 800 pounds. Shit
[3567.0s] You suck should have been like one million pounds sucker
[3571.8s] But I don't know if we want to go back
[3575.0s] If we want to go back past the beholder
[3578.4s] Past the creatures get large dead thing and bring here
[3584.1s] If
[3586.3s] I mean
[3587.7s] If that's how we get the key
[3589.6s] Should we all go?
[3591.5s] Will there be room to carry it back on the magic carpet?
[3595.3s] I will state that the cavern to get into oh shit was really small layer became very small
[3602.0s] Right. Oh, we can't get big things. That is a good reminder. Thank you. Um
[3606.9s] That would have sucked to go back there pick up the body bring in then russ being like nah
[3611.0s] Bro, the opening describes it as you have to squeeze back through this cavern
[3616.2s] It up into little pieces first
[3620.2s] There's that um, there's a whole episode of us. Just just cutting up mutilating bodies do
[3627.2s] Like I can conjure like I know that's what I was just i'm just looking at my spells to see what I do
[3632.5s] I bring an animal into this world just to be eaten by one of these things like
[3637.8s] Like
[3639.0s] It feels it feels really wrong doesn't seem like a super druidy thing to do well flint. That's really judgmental
[3646.1s] I don't tell you how to be a fighter. Well, uh, I mean, what's the plan?
