1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
What do you have to offer me?

3
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
It says I wish for my freedom.

4
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Well, we are here to essentially liberate everybody from this flying fortress.

5
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
That includes you, mama!

6
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Do you not want to fight for your freedom, rather than being here with all of your dream children forever?

7
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000
I would fight for my freedom. However, I am bound to this cavern.

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Thank you, Ferbuxy. We'll meet again.

9
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:12,000
We will return with this key. You will help us fight for freedom.

10
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More, and with me today is Carla Maxted.

11
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
That is me. I play Yen Bolnuri, a Kalishtar cleric.

12
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And Tom Laird.

13
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
That's me. I play Flint Firebeard, a champion dwarf fighter.

14
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
And Amy More.

15
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
I'm Thea Amastasia, and I play a high elf druid.

16
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
I said I am Thea Amastasia, and I play...

17
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Well, you are. You embody her. It was accurate.

18
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Also, I wish you would have told me that we were going for sassy mm-hmms after the intros, because I totally would have done something different.

19
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
I know. You really did kind of bring the sass.

20
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:59,000
See, this is what the downtime is for, everybody, where we discuss what we're doing in the next one, with the common theme, which we missed in the last one.

21
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
But hey, we have downtimes over on Patreon. What's a downtime?

22
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Oh, we get to bitch and complain.

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
That's where we talk about the episode we just recorded.

24
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
That, too.

25
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Yeah, we record an episode, and then we discuss what we liked, what we didn't like, how Russ was mean to us, what our plans are.

26
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
How Russ was mean to us. Don't forget that part.

27
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Hey, don't worry. They don't talk about that a lot, because Russ is never mean to them.

28
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000
You know, just random guesses about what might happen, or occasionally. And you might think we use this time to discuss strategy.

29
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
We do not.

30
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
No, no.

31
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Yeah, you'd be most never.

32
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
You'd think we could, like, regroup. This is a really good organized time to regroup and plan what we're going to do next time.

33
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Nope.

34
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
No, we don't use it for that. We mostly just talk about Russ to his face.

35
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
And it's fun. It's lighthearted and it's fun. And we laugh and have a good time.

36
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:58,000
When I was like, hey, guys, we should just, you know, all this all this stuff that we're doing where we're just, you know, talking about how much Russ was a dumb dumb or a doink.

37
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Or we just wanted to put it into a thing.

38
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
So you can join us over on Patreon at the five dollar or up tiers to get access to those weekly extra bonus episodes.

39
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
But when you are a patron, you also get an episode dedicated to you.

40
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Like today's patron, Weston Sensing.

41
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Thanks, Weston.

42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Good name. Do our patrons have the best names?

43
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I feel like every week I'm like, damn, that's a good name.

44
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
That seems like a book name or a movie name.

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Yeah.

46
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
And I like it.

47
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
We love all of our patrons.

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Did Gene Austin write about you by any chance, Weston?

49
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Yes.

50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I believe so.

51
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
It's not a reference. It just sounds like a book name.

52
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Like maybe he's from a Jane Austen novel.

53
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Agreed.

54
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Maybe.

55
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Maybe.

56
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast. Come join us over there.

57
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Your name is awesome, too.

58
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Now, fuck it. Let's play.

59
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
So we're in a trash pot.

60
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
You are hovering above a trash pile.

61
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
O.T.X. below you are about finished.

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
The refuse that they have procured from the skeletons that have walked in,

63
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
paid no attention to you and walked out.

64
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:20,000
And we joined back in the conversation of whether to backtrack or whether to conjure and go.

65
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000
I think we should go forward and find.

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Gosh, after seeing those beholders, I just feel really bad about this.

67
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
But like, go forward, find something to kill for them to eat.

68
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
I'm sure we'll find some sort of nasty creature that wants us dead.

69
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
We'll kill it. We'll bring it back here.

70
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Well, what if we just go where the skeletons came from with the food that they brought?

71
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Maybe we'll be able to find more there.

72
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Yeah, OK, that's a good idea.

73
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Yes.

74
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
I guess maybe we try and time it if they seem to be coming in in regular intervals.

75
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I know there was one and then there was a couple.

76
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
I don't know if that seems to be regular or just random.

77
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
There have not been enough as the O.T.X. are finishing their current piles

78
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
to determine if there is any pre-scheduled enterings of skeletons.

79
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
OK.

80
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
We are going to come back and we are going to bring you delicious food.

81
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Hurry.

82
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
And when we do, I want that key.

83
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Yes.

84
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
OK, we'll see you soon.

85
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And we fly over and then I imagine have to get off to get down to go through the crack.

86
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:47,000
As you as you fly over, what looked like a crack opens up into more of a channel.

87
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:58,000
And beyond, you see that the the filth is kind of pouring into it a little bit around the sides.

88
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
But it's, again, another rough walled cavern.

89
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And it contains like the filth and the stench that you smelled in the last room permeates through into this room.

90
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
In fact, at this point, I'd like everybody to make a Constitution saving throw.

91
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Because of the stinky bit.

92
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Wow.

93
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
That's a lot of stink.

94
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Oh, God, no, it's not good.

95
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Mine isn't great either.

96
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Eleven.

97
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Ten.

98
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Oh, no, I get a plus one.

99
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Twelve.

100
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Here's twenty four.

101
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Bonus.

102
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Yeah, right.

103
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
So my con bonus is plus nine.

104
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Cool.

105
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
He's got a roll.

106
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
You got a roll of one.

107
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Twenty five.

108
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000
There it is.

109
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Everybody has succeeded.

110
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,000
It stinks real bad, but you're not going to take any any sort of physical damage from it.

111
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:11,000
And as you enter into this new cavern, you see twenty unarmed skeletons standing waiting in line, each beside a cart and what looks like a chute in the wall.

112
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
They don't look to you as you enter.

113
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
There is ambience of the room.

114
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
There's like shadows that curl like smoke from the wall.

115
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,000
So they are all waiting at this at this cart in line.

116
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Are they wearing clothes?

117
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Doesn't matter.

118
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
I just want to paint a visual picture for me.

119
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Yeah, no, they're just naked skeletons.

120
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Nude skeletons.

121
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000
You can see all the bones.

122
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Except the most important ones now because they're skeletons.

123
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000
You know, I winked, but nobody could see that because this is a very dramatic wink.

124
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
It's the only way I wink.

125
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I was trying to make like a lack of dick joke because we got it.

126
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Yeah, I feel like I don't think it landed.

127
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
No, everyone got it for sure.

128
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Anyway, well, we drove it home here.

129
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:25,000
You know, you know, when you're reading through your your sheet to find something useful and then you come across something that you're like, turns out I have something called primal strike.

130
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:37,000
And when I attack in beast form, my attack counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

131
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Huh?

132
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Huh?

133
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Well, that's interesting information.

134
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Yep.

135
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Isn't it just?

136
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
That's a thing that you have had the whole time.

137
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Uh huh.

138
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
I mean, yeah, no, like the whole time.

139
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
I guess it doesn't matter because you've never attacked or been attacked when you've been in creature form.

140
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
So this is just this wouldn't have been useful information to have.

141
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Definitely haven't been attacked, but like nonmagical attacks.

142
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000
The thing about these higher level characters is that there's just so much to remember.

143
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
There's so much.

144
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
That's why I played a fighter who only fights.

145
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
I feel like you guys, I don't want to call you out, but you have been playing these characters for years.

146
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
So I feel like you should.

147
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
But maybe that makes it harder.

148
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
I think I've written mine wrong this whole time.

149
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
I don't know.

150
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
What did you figure out?

151
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
I have primal strike.

152
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000
And when I'm an animal, I have resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

153
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Why you not use that?

154
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Why I not use that?

155
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Why you not use that?

156
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
I'm sorry.

157
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I'm just going to have to put this back on the listeners just for a minute.

158
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
You guys, you're supposed to tell me.

159
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
We count on you to stop us from doing dumb shit.

160
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Like forgetting about very powerful things that we can do that would be life-saving.

161
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Since level three or something like that.

162
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
It's been a long time.

163
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Since I could Wild Shape, I've had this ability.

164
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
I'm a disgrace.

165
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
We're real good at D&D, guys.

166
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I can't remember.

167
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
We're in a shopping cart lineup filled with skeletons, yes?

168
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
We're in a garbage chute lineup staffed by skeletons.

169
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,000
So you know that means that your attacks don't impose resistance and immunity.

170
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
It's not attacks on you.

171
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Your attacks in beast form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance.

172
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
So it's not attacks on you.

173
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
It's you when you scratch them.

174
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Oh, thank God.

175
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
See, I've read it now reversed twice.

176
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Okay.

177
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
So you haven't been taking extra damage.

178
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
You might have been giving less damage because you also haven't been necessarily bringing that.

179
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
I feel like you brought that up at some point.

180
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Have I?

181
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Yeah.

182
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
So if you pierce someone and they have resistance, you say, ah, ah, ah is actually magic.

183
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
This should be downtime stuff, everybody.

184
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
This should be downtime stuff.

185
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
This is the kind of stuff that you can get in downtime.

186
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
No, it's not because we just talked about it right now.

187
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
This is way more strategy talk than we would ever have in a downtime.

188
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
A little sneak peek for you in what would maybe happen in downtime.

189
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000
For downtime, really, it's just Amy going, I'm mad about this.

190
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
It is.

191
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
You know what really grinds my gears?

192
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
We're never going to get through this pyramid, everybody.

193
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Let's just keep going here.

194
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
We've just accepted that we live here now.

195
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
We've resigned.

196
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Yes, this is our place of residence.

197
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,000
So we're in a lineup.

198
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
We're outside the trash Costco.

199
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Yep.

200
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Behind all the naked skeletons.

201
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Do you think that we could like budge in line somehow but not upset anybody?

202
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
You see after as you enter and wait just a moment and you're talking about budging in line

203
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
and about your magical attacks or non-magical attacks or whatever the hell you're talking about.

204
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
You see a pile of this refuse pile come out of this chute and land down in this cart

205
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
and the skeleton who's standing at it reaches down, picks it up,

206
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
and begins to walk towards the exit where you walked in.

207
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Okay, totally imagine them all with shopping carts in a line.

208
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000
And they'd like the garbage chute dumps it into their shopping cart

209
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
and they wheel their shopping cart away.

210
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
I like that better.

211
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
They've got their trolleys in the queue.

212
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
We now have them with shopping carts.

213
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Perfect.

214
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
And the refuse falls down into the shopping cart

215
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
and it turns and you hear the squeaky wheels.

216
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000
You know when you see a random shopping cart in a ditch somewhere

217
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
and you think like how'd that get there?

218
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
We're miles away from a Walmart.

219
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000
It's because it's been kicked out of a floating pyramid somewhere above

220
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
because it was damaged.

221
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
This really does.

222
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
That's just where it comes from.

223
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
I mean it is what I'm going to think every time I see a random shopping cart now.

224
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
So thanks.

225
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
You're welcome.

226
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
It's fun.

227
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
It's a little more whimsical than the alternative.

228
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,000
It rolls by your location and out into the OTX.

229
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
And still nothing like the Skellingtons are like.

230
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Not looking at us.

231
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
No, they all kind of drive forward with their carts and stop and wait.

232
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Okay.

233
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Is this going to be good enough?

234
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
I don't know.

235
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Maybe if we had more, they wanted more food.

236
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
So double load?

237
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000
I wonder if we interrupt the Skeletons, then they notice and attack us?

238
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Yeah, I don't know.

239
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000
They don't seem to be really kind of conscious.

240
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Are there other empty carts in the room as well, Russ?

241
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Do we need a quarter to get one out?

242
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Yeah.

243
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Odds, yes.

244
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Evens, no.

245
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Odds, yes.

246
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
There's one overturned cart.

247
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
It's missing one wheel.

248
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
It's a bit bent out of shape.

249
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
It's off in the corner.

250
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Well, if we need more of the, I guess, food.

251
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Sure.

252
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
All right.

253
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
If we need more of the food, maybe we can swap out this empty cart for one that gets

254
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:49,000
filled up and then fill it up a second time and then take it from a Skeleton after

255
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
that.

256
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Then we deliver more food because that's what they want.

257
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Sure.

258
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Yeah.

259
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Bring them and be like, we've got more where this came from.

260
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
We just stand in line.

261
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
We go.

262
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
They fill it up.

263
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
We wait.

264
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
We get a second load.

265
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Then we go.

266
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Are we budging?

267
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Are we line budgers?

268
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Is that who we are now?

269
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
It's just us, guys.

270
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
There's a time and a place.

271
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000
All I'm wondering is, are all these Skeletons coming back in there with this?

272
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Yes.

273
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
It seems like a fairly constant supply of the same kind of food.

274
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
This is true.

275
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
They said they want good food, better food.

276
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Do we maybe bring them this and just see if it works?

277
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:45,000
I mean, did they seem like very smart to you, Yenbul?

278
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:54,000
No, but I do feel like we want perhaps something better or at least more.

279
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Perhaps we go a little bit further and see what we see.

280
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
If nothing better, we come back.

281
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
We take the trash.

282
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
We try that.

283
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Okay.

284
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Yeah.

285
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Is there an exit to this room other than the trash chute?

286
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Negative.

287
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Just the one you came in.

288
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Hmm.

289
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Well.

290
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
But there was another exit out of the...

291
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Yeah.

292
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Yeah.

293
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
There was another entrance exit out of the other place.

294
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Out of the trash room.

295
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Yeah.

296
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Oh.

297
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Well, if we have to go back into the trash room, we may as well try and bring a double

298
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,000
cart to see if it works.

299
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
If it does not work, we're already here.

300
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
May as well get trash.

301
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
That's what I always say.

302
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Very applicable saying.

303
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Okay.

304
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
We wait for trash.

305
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000
We wait patiently in the lineup.

306
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,000
We get a cart and we wait patiently in the lineup for some trash.

307
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
But when it fills up, then we'll wait for a double load.

308
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
You're just getting in line at the end.

309
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Yeah.

310
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Twenty skeletons deep.

311
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Yeah.

312
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Cool.

313
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Okay.

314
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,759
So a little montage scene.

315
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:04,000
We see you get in line here at the back.

316
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,000
I lean over to Maddox and I say, I spy with my little eye.

317
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
God damn it.

318
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Something that is green.

319
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Is it trash?

320
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Yeah.

321
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Your turn.

322
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Twenty minutes later.

323
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Is it that brown paper bag over there?

324
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
No.

325
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Is it that pile of poop over there?

326
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
No.

327
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Is it that scar on that skeleton up there?

328
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
No.

329
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Is it this label on the shopping cart?

330
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
No.

331
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Oh my God, is it my bag?

332
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Forty minutes later.

333
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Is it Flint's leather belt?

334
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
No.

335
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Is it Yen Bol's tassels on her rug?

336
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
No.

337
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Is it...

338
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
I don't want to play anymore.

339
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
No, wait.

340
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000
My shoes?

341
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Yeah.

342
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Okay, now I don't want to play anymore.

343
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Thirty minutes later.

344
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Would you rather?

345
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Oh God, we're next.

346
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Jesus.

347
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
You're next in line.

348
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:35,000
And a pile of refuse comes down and lands in your cart.

349
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
We wait for a second dump.

350
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
We want a double pile.

351
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
We want it two piles high.

352
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
You see the skeletons checking their imaginary watches behind you.

353
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
They're impatiently waiting.

354
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
I wish they could play I Spy with them.

355
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Their teeth are chattering together as it looks like they're just getting antsy by the fact that you're waiting there.

356
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
And then another pile comes down and into your cart.

357
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
It's overflowing now.

358
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
You begin to push the cart at this point?

359
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Yes.

360
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
I feel like we kind of support it by the sides as well.

361
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
You said there are only three wheels.

362
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
We're compensating for the weight.

363
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
No, that's okay.

364
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
I was going to make it fall out if you didn't say something.

365
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000
So good.

366
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Figured.

367
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
I figured you told us it had three wheels for a reason.

368
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
That's a fuck us over with later.

369
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Okay, you roll the cart back out.

370
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:37,000
And you roll it back into the OTF layer who are eating just other other stuff in there.

371
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
You don't even need to know.

372
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
It's just it's better if we don't know.

373
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Yeah.

374
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Yeah.

375
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And they turn and look at you and say, bring food.

376
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Yes, we brought food.

377
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Lots of food.

378
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
They stomp closer towards you.

379
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
You have key.

380
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
You drop food.

381
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
I want to see the key.

382
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:07,000
One of them moves one of their tentacles and goes deep into one of the piles and pulls back a literal key.

383
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,000
It's covered in filth.

384
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,000
But it is it is a key and it moves it towards you and says drop food.

385
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
I want to make sure that the carpet is with us.

386
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:30,000
So hopefully when we get the key, we can just be on it.

387
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Okay.

388
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Sure.

389
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Go back.

390
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
The carpet can be where you want it to be.

391
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Yeah, it'll be with us.

392
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Okay.

393
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Can one of you make sure you get the key?

394
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Yeah.

395
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Yeah.

396
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Okay.

397
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Okay.

398
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
We'll drop food.

399
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
We'll take key.

400
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Thank you.

401
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000
So I start to dump the cart.

402
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:09,000
The refuse begins to fall to the ground and it moves its tentacle closer to your direction.

403
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000
I put my hand outstretched.

404
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:24,000
It moves closer and closer until all of the refuse has fallen to the ground and it's within arms reach from you, Thea.

405
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:31,000
I reach just a little bit further and wrap my hand around the key.

406
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,000
The tentacle is holding tight to the key.

407
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,000
I give it like a little scratchy scratch with my finger, a little tickle with my finger.

408
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:50,000
And I also pull out the last of that bread and the smelly cheese and put it on the top as the cherry on the garbage sundae.

409
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:57,000
It releases the key and both of them rush towards the refuse and begin devouring it.

410
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Quickly on the carpet.

411
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Hop on the carpet and I take out my water skin and I rinse the key off and my hand.

412
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
And we carpet back the way we came.

413
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
You zip back down and into the dark chamber.

414
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:19,000
And as you enter the darkened chamber, the darkness clears around you as you fly back into the center and you hear the clicking around you.

415
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Have you brought the key?

416
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Yeah, we have it.

417
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
I lift up the key.

418
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:35,000
The room gets brighter as the beholder comes down towards you, hovering above.

419
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:42,000
And you feel like a tug, like it's manipulating it without touching.

420
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And I let go.

421
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:53,000
It raises it towards itself and gazes upon it, spins around in place in front of it.

422
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:00,000
And then there's a bright flash of light that comes from this key and it illuminates the entire room.

423
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:10,000
And you can see all of these eyes for once blink in that moment and begin to swirl around this room.

424
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:16,000
And they come close to you and are swirling around and then quickly move back to the walls.

425
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:24,000
And you feel like this energy drop around you.

426
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:36,000
And for Buxy smiles and looks down to you and says you have held your word.

427
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Was there ever any doubt?

428
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Always.

429
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Fair enough.

430
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Says you must go.

431
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Can we trust that you'll keep your end of the deal?

432
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
I will.

433
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Two caverns open up.

434
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
You will go down the one on the left.

435
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,000
I will catch up to you.

436
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Thank you.

437
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:16,000
You walk down the path and where before it brought you into this filth layer, this brings you into a different area.

438
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:29,000
You see in this chamber twisting ledges that divide it into multiple sections, creating a series of deep tiers.

439
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:37,000
You see stalagmites that dot the floor and you hear like a babbling sound.

440
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Like are we talking brook or incoherent talking?

441
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Like incoherent babble.

442
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Damn it. I was hoping it was brook.

443
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Me too.

444
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,000
It's never brook is it?

445
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Everybody make an intelligence check.

446
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:02,000
I will put a babbling brook in the side scroller just for you.

447
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000
An intelligence check you say.

448
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Well I got a four.

449
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000
I got a six.

450
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Wow.

451
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000
We're doing great.

452
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Yeah, that's pretty good guys.

453
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
I got a 11.

454
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
So we're killing it.

455
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
How about Maddox?

456
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Fingers crossed.

457
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Five.

458
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Wow.

459
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Around the board.

460
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Yeah, that's good rolls.

461
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Fortunately 11 was enough to know that this babbling that you hear as you focus on it, it sounds like different languages.

462
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:53,000
And almost different voices, absolutely different voices, but you recognize it as the sound of a gibbering mouther or two of them.

463
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Did you guys hear that?

464
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Make a nature check if you want to know anything more about them.

465
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Boy do I because they sound great just based on the name.

466
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Delightful.

467
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Do we get to make that nature check if we don't know what it was to begin with?

468
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Flint hasn't told you anything about it yet.

469
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
It's OK.

470
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,000
It was a terrible roll.

471
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Oh, nat 20.

472
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Oh hey yo.

473
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
I think we don't want to get too close to these things.

474
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
What are they?

475
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,000
They're called gibbering mouthers.

476
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Flattering name.

477
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
That sounds terrible.

478
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Yeah, well they're hideous to look at for starters, but then they can also mess with your mind.

479
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
So careful here.

480
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Great.

481
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,000
This lich, I don't understand his design aesthetic.

482
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
So beautiful when he got here.

483
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
The library, the bathroom, the nicest bathroom in the whole world.

484
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000
I feel like that was a librarian.

485
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Yeah, I feel like that could be the influence of the greeter there.

486
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000
You're right.

487
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
The rest has been very consistently completely disgusting.

488
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Wallace.

489
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Just echoed on the wind.

490
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Wallace, sorry we forgot you Wallace.

491
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000
OK, so in this room.

492
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:21,000
So you're standing at like the top tier and it descends down and there are stalagmites.

493
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Three of them on the first tier, two on the second, two on the bottom most tier.

494
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:39,000
And then it all kind of it all narrows down to a passageway down at the bottom of these tiers.

495
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Do we just plug our ears and go?

496
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Perhaps.

497
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,000
OK, let's do it.

498
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Let's just.

499
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
Yeah.

500
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Let's go.

501
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:06,000
So you're all plugging your ears and moving down these deep trenches, which are 10 feet high.

502
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Easily easy to scale.

503
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
But so we are.

504
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
I'm having a hard time visualizing this place.

505
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
It's like it's like a call it like picture it like a coliseum.

506
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
So each tier moves down another 10 feet.

507
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
OK, and we are at the bottom.

508
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000
You're at the top.

509
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Oh, we are at the top.

510
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,000
And down at the bottom, it narrows to an opening.

511
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,000
And then there are these stalagmites sticking up in each of these tiers.

512
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Neat.

513
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
OK.

514
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Well, we can't actually climb down these with our hands covering our ears.

515
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:47,000
So I take my hands off my ears and I start to climb down.

516
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Because we can see, right, that they end and that there is the place we need to go.

517
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
All right, I'm going down.

518
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
I'm yelling timber.

519
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,000
OK, you go down first and you land next to one of these stalagmites.

520
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And the gibbering gets louder as you descend down this 10 foot.

521
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
I start to hum loudly.

522
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Make a wisdom saving throw.

523
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000
But I'm humming so loud.

524
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Yeah.

525
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
I'm curious what you're humming, though.

526
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
I mean, I think Kesha.

527
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Yeah, it's in my head now.

528
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
I'm so sorry.

529
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Sorry.

530
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
A wisdom saving throw.

531
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Yes.

532
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Oh, yeah.

533
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
How about a 26?

534
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Whoa.

535
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:38,000
You hear the babbling get louder and you turn and you instantly see this gaping mob for you.

536
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
You know, describe what you see.

537
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Oh, well, it's a little bit of kind of a red goop monster.

538
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:57,000
So it seems it seems very kind of like how I like maybe like putty like silly putty that's been molded into this.

539
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Like it has this horrific Lee long, tall mouth and like little like gooey bits that come off of it.

540
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:14,000
And it's got like a mouth on its knee and it's got like this big blobby torso, several mouths in there, too.

541
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Also, it looks like several sets of teeth, kind of like alien like mouth within the mouth situation here.

542
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
It's yuck.

543
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Delicious.

544
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
I go.

545
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,000
It's yuck.

546
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Roll for initiative.

547
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Hi.

548
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Twenty one.

549
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,000
What?

550
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
What is happening?

551
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Five.

552
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Twelve.

553
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Go, Thea.

554
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Thea casts fairy fire on this creature and it envelops it in a violet light.

555
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,000
And if it fails, any creature in the area, blah, blah, blah.

556
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
OK, has to make a dexterity saving throw.

557
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Nineteen.

558
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Oh, yeah.

559
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
OK, then more more dexterous.

560
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
You would you would think that blob would be.

561
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Really, you wouldn't think a monster comprised of mouths would be very dexterous.

562
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
I rolled a nat 20.

563
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,000
And then I just say fine.

564
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,000
That's that's what you do.

565
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Yeah.

566
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Oh, no, no, that's not all I do.

567
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
I get to go more than one time.

568
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
I know this.

569
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,000
I'm going to know how close is it to me.

570
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,000
It's like right in front of you.

571
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Oh, can I use my can I use my shield to jab at it?

572
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Sure.

573
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000
What would that make a d6?

574
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Well, I need to roll to attack.

575
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Plus strength, strength.

576
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,000
OK.

577
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Well, you got to roll to attack first.

578
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000
So plus strength.

579
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Nineteen.

580
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000
That will hit it.

581
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,000
One d6.

582
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
One d6.

583
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Plus nothing.

584
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Plus strength.

585
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Five.

586
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,000
OK.

587
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:15,000
It it you hit it and it like cracks a tooth inside one of its mouths and it shrieks and babbles.

588
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Everybody else you looking down on this, you saw this one of these stalagmites turn from turn from ground into this thing.

589
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:45,000
As Thea rams her shield into it and use Thea need to make a dexterity saving throw as it releases this like chemical spittle from its mouth.

590
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:51,000
It goes towards your eyes and you close them in time and cover with your shield.

591
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,000
And you hear like sizzle on the other side of your shield as it rolls down.

592
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:04,000
I turn the shield around and I see it's marred the beautiful intricate designs on the front and I'm just like you fucking.

593
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,000
And it reaches out to bite you for a 14.

594
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Not going to be it.

595
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
I jump back.

596
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Cool.

597
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Flint.

598
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000
All right.

599
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Am I still like up above this thing?

600
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Yes, sir.

601
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Thea was the one who specified she went down first.

602
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,000
So you like fly from above.

603
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Yeah.

604
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,000
I mean some sort of jumping flying axe attack sounds good.

605
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Sure.

606
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Yeah.

607
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
It's only an attack.

608
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000
OK.

609
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Or I guess I wonder what would be better for me to use whether it's the axe.

610
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Now we're going to go the moist tongue long sword.

611
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Russ.

612
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
I mean it's a tried and true method.

613
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:59,000
So as I jump and I like put the sword so that I have like both hands on the hilt and I'm like going to drive it down.

614
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:06,000
I yell the word moist as I go.

615
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,000
I like it.

616
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And I guess roll to hit sir.

617
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Well that should be all right.

618
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:22,000
That is a 26 to hit.

619
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Yep.

620
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
You got it.

621
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:34,000
That is 14 damage and then some extra cold damage.

622
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,000
An extra six.

623
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
So 20 all said and done.

624
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,000
OK.

625
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:46,000
You stabbed down deep into this the flesh of this monster and it tries to like bite up at your hand.

626
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Your sword is embedded inside of it.

627
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:58,000
I mean you can take maybe take an action to try and withdraw it and then you'd have another action because you have 18 actions right.

628
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
I do have 18 actions.

629
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Yeah.

630
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:09,000
So I guess I'll pull the sword out with one other action and I will attack it again with the moist tongue long sword.

631
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Right.

632
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
That's a 19 that time.

633
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Roll with some damage.

634
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Six and five is 11 plus an extra five.

635
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
So 16 damage.

636
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,000
You slice into it deep and you feel it kind of wrap around.

637
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:41,000
You feel it wrap around the sword and the flesh around it is freezing and decaying as it does so and it tries to pull you in to one of its mouths.

638
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Make a dexterity saving throw.

639
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000
17.

640
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:54,000
You manage to get free but you release your sword and it gets enveloped in.

641
00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:08,000
And then as the cold seeps into its skin it rolls down to the floor which does not bounce to the next tier but it's down on the floor.

642
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Yen bull.

643
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000
How tall is this room.

644
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Where you are standing it's probably only 10 or 15 feet tall but at the lowest point it's another 10 20 30 45 feet.

645
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,000
So 15 feet where you are 25 where this thing is.

646
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Right.

647
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,000
So what is that 30 50 feet total.

648
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Yeah.

649
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
40 feet total.

650
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Maths hard.

651
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Right.

652
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Okay.

653
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
And how is the thing doing.

654
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:55,000
It is bleeding and teeth have been knocked out and like huge gouges have been taken out of it.

655
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000
But yeah like decaying decaying flesh from the cold damage of the sword.

656
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,000
So it's you know it's had better days.

657
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Perfect.

658
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Perfect.

659
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Then I am going to.

660
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,000
So there's a bunch of those other still like nights right.

661
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
There are several more.

662
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:21,000
So I might want to be proactive since we know that those turn into the creatures right.

663
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,000
I mean that is certainly what it appears certainly how how it appears.

664
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,000
So I am going to.

665
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Let's give that a shot.

666
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Yeah I'm just going to cast thunder wave at one of the other stalagmites that is closest to me.

667
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
OK.

668
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
That one said Dex save on my part.

669
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:54,000
It is a data data data.

670
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,000
It's not what I was going to do but the things hurt so I don't want to waste some real rad on it.

671
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Mm hmm.

672
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Call and save.

673
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,000
OK.

674
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Describe to me what your thunder wave looks like.

675
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Well I guess since we're sort of in an underground cavern like the air moves but because I am directing it at ground it would almost be more like an earthquake I think as it hit this stalagmite with thunderous force.

676
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:45,000
I see the it ripple through the space and hits the stalagmite and it begins to crumble and crush and explodes out into the room as dust and pebble.

677
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Oh well sort of anticlimactic but yay.

678
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Unless you yeah unless it really was a creature and you killed it it just.

679
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Yeah no that's what I mean I'm going to assume that's what happened.

680
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,000
That's all I get to do.

681
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
I only have one attack.

682
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Amy hadn't clued in that it was previously potentially a stalagmite.

683
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000
And so.

684
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:14,000
See it looks up to you and goes like.

685
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Yes we had the advantage of watching from above like as the thing turned into the thing you didn't.

686
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,000
I mean it's it makes sense that you wouldn't have known that's what was happening.

687
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,000
What that giant rock do to you Yen Bull.

688
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Okay we're to Manix.

689
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:44,000
They're going to draw their mace and move down towards the the stalagmite that you just exploded and try and make their way down to the next tier so they're going to make it down to the next tier which is more of a clear opening.

690
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:52,000
So there it looks like they're trying to make their way down to this opening down at the bottom here by bypassing as many of the stalagmites as possible.

691
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Yeah.

692
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
You rang this hurt things in front of me.

693
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Yeah it's looking pretty bad.

694
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,000
And flints beside me and flint is beside you.

695
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Cool you know just so I don't hurt him.

696
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,000
I don't think you can hurt.

697
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
I think it's entirely possible in theory.

698
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
I mean magically maybe but.

699
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Yeah sure.

700
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:26,000
Well I'm going to cast Toll the Dead and I'm going to point my finger at the what's it called again.

701
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Jibbering Mouther.

702
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Jibbering Mouther.

703
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:38,000
And we hear that awful bell sound ringing in the air and the target must succeed on a wisdom saving throw.

704
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Or take 1d12 necrotic damage.

705
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Oh go fuck yourself.

706
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
You just go fuck yourself.

707
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Or nothing happens yet again.

708
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,000
I can't wait to transcribe that right.

709
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Natty 20.

710
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Whatever.

711
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Nobody cares Russ.

712
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,000
I did.

713
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Nobody likes your trick die Russ.

714
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Yeah Russ.

715
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000

716
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
You can go use the promo code dragons.

717
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Can you take a look at that die and just make sure it's not 20 on every die.

718
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Oh it didn't even occur to me.

719
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000
No it rolled a six.

720
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000
It's fine.

721
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
That sounds right.

722
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Okay sounds like a legitimate dice.

723
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Second time.

724
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Sorry Russ.

725
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
What was the promo code for Metallic Dice Games dot com.

726
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Can you use promo code dragons 10% off and get these sweet dice that roll really well.

727
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,000
That apparently rolled lots of 20.

728
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Yeah it's the misfit metallic dice.

729
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Check it out.

730
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Metallic Dice Games dot com.

731
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
It's the middle time.

732
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Oh I haven't sung that in forever.

733
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
It's been so long.

734
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Gosh nobody's taking summer vacation anymore.

735
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Well is that because it's not summer anymore.

736
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Yeah no.

737
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Yeah I'm not taking a summer vacation again until like for like a year.

738
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Okay we've got that out of the way.

739
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Oh we missed you guys and we're back.

740
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,000
We can't wait to share all the great stories like this shopping cart episode.

741
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Can you believe it.

742
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Just waiting in line.

743
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
There's trash monsters.

744
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,000
You know shows when they come back after a month long break usually bring you like a real humdinger.

745
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000
A real whammy.

746
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Yeah they try to like wrap up a cliffhanger or something but no shopping carts and garbage monsters.

747
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Yeah that's what we did.

748
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

749
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,000
This is the middle of the episode.

750
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Classic Dumbgeons.

751
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,000
We can't apologize for what we did several months ago but that's where the schedule landed.

752
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:39,000
So what we want to tell you about today is directed to you our patrons.

753
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Patrons who live over at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

754
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,000
We've got this this great survey that we've got going around over there.

755
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:55,000
In fact it's what we call a community survey where we want to hear what you think about what we're offering on Patreon.

756
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:00,000
We want to give you more of the stuff you like and less of the stuff you don't like.

757
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
So we'd really appreciate it.

758
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
You just filled out the survey.

759
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000
It's very short and easy.

760
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,000
It's really easy.

761
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,000
And then we would have a better idea.

762
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Then we can maybe give you more of the stuff you're hungry for.

763
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
And if there's something that you know you're not super digging in there.

764
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Those are options in the in the survey.

765
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,000
You can let us know.

766
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:24,000
This survey that we want you to fill out it's going to dictate what we've got coming forward from October into next year.

767
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,000
So please have your say if you are a patron of ours.

768
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
If you're not we'd love for you to come join us as well.

769
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

770
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
And now let's get back to the episode.

771
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,000
See how much more shopping carts we can find in this lich's lair.

772
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,000
It's probably more than you think.

773
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Trash on trash on trash.

774
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000
You've done promo-ing during my turn.

775
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
See he looks down at her.

776
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Seemed like a good opportunity.

777
00:42:52,000 --> 00:43:02,000
And is like this is the third spell that has I think completely fallen flat for Thea and is like the fuck.

778
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Hey Flint do you have a weapon I can borrow or something.

779
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Not to ask.

780
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,000
No you totally are.

781
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,000
You don't have a weapon.

782
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,000
No.

783
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000
I have I have an oath bow.

784
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Shield.

785
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,000
You don't have like a scimitar from like when we were playing around the table.

786
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Come on.

787
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Yeah.

788
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Backpack bed roll high leather long bow sling tinderbox.

789
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,000
I think I remember there was a point that you dropped a bunch of shit because you were like all druid-y and bullshit.

790
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Oh right because metal didn't.

791
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Working with the nature of like no I don't want it.

792
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Ah regrets.

793
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
I've had a few.

794
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Regrets.

795
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,000
But then again there's a gibbering mouth.

796
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Fucking have a pass without a trace potion.

797
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,000
It's in my character sheet.

798
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
You've been afraid to use it.

799
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Well I actually didn't think I had it.

800
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Okay.

801
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Hey hey hey.

802
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,000
I do have a two handed great axe if you want.

803
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
May I.

804
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Yeah.

805
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Thanks.

806
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:17,000
It is 2d12 for damage.

807
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Jesus Christ.

808
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Plus your strength and not proficiency because you're not proficient.

809
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,000
Yeah.

810
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Well I rolled a one.

811
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,000
So I think I lifted up over my head and it's heavy and it goes back.

812
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,000
And you just fall back over.

813
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,000
And I've fallen over backwards.

814
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,000
And I don't know can a gibbering mouther laugh.

815
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Yeah it sounds babbling but you get that it's laughing like hardcore and spitting up blood as it does so.

816
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:53,000
I get up and I rub my lower back and I'm like fuck you.

817
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Flint your turn.

818
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,000
No it's the gibbering mouthers turn.

819
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
It's going to go for Flint.

820
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,000
It's not going to go for Thea.

821
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,000
No it feels bad for you.

822
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,000
But that's only a 10 as it tries to bite out.

823
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000
It's like laughing so hard.

824
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000
So hard.

825
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,000
And now it's your turn.

826
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,000
All right.

827
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
I will.

828
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Yeah I guess I'll use my rod of lordly might and I'll turn it into a battle axe and I will attack with it.

829
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,000
All right.

830
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:36,000
And I will also use the paralyze function on it Russ.

831
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,000
OK.

832
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,000
I know what you're thinking.

833
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,000
What.

834
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
You have a function on that.

835
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,000
There's three different things.

836
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:48,000
I didn't even know you could paralyze something with it.

837
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Well it's amazing what happens when you look at your character sheet right Amy.

838
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Who knew.

839
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,000
We're learning things today on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

840
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,000
We're doing so good today.

841
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,000
OK to hit that one is.

842
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Oh wait that's the wrong window.

843
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Hang on.

844
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,000
All right.

845
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Oh well that's a lovely plus 13 to hit.

846
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000
So that's a 21 to hit.

847
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,000
So tell me tell me what you do.

848
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,000
I am going to roll damage and then I'm going to go back to the other page.

849
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:21,000
What tells me what to do with this paralyze function.

850
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,000
That is 16 damage.

851
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
I mean you can tell me what it does but that exactly kills it.

852
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Oh OK.

853
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Well maybe I'll save the bonus action for another time.

854
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Perfect change.

855
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Yeah.

856
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:40,000
I imagine Flint turns around like hey guys I can take care of this and then you just stab into it.

857
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,000
And everybody's like yeah.

858
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,000
He's done this before folks.

859
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,000
I'm like you have to pick up your axe.

860
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,000
I can't.

861
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Do I have like a pocket dagger or something.

862
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Maybe like a Swiss Army knife or something similarly small.

863
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Sure.

864
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,000
I'll keep an eye out for like a little short sword or something.

865
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,000
You survey the scene around you.

866
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Manix has gone down another step and everybody make a perception check.

867
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,000
I'm going to pick up my moist on long sword.

868
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:22,000
And so just to clarify there is we can hear creatures but we can see no other creatures.

869
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
The stalagmites are still just stalagmites.

870
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Yes the babbling has still continued.

871
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,000
It's softer now but you still hear it.

872
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,000
24.

873
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,000
And sorry what are we rolling.

874
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Perception.

875
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,000
18.

876
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
But also I have an idea about what I'd like to do.

877
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
But first tell us what we perceive.

878
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Sure.

879
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,000
I had a seven so tell Carla what she perceives.

880
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Everybody except Flint notices that down on the bottom tier where there were two stalagmites.

881
00:47:52,000 --> 00:48:03,000
One of them appears to have moved more closely since you've entered to the cavern opening down at the bottom of this.

882
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:08,000
So I imagine they pick up their stalagmite skirts and walk forward.

883
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,000
And the little legs.

884
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:16,000
They only have ten feet of movement so it's slow just between actions.

885
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Until suddenly it's right up on you.

886
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Yeah and all of you who notice this you look at it and you know.

887
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:31,000
But that's the only thing that's changed in this room other than the exploded stalagmite and the dead gibbering mouth.

888
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,000
I have a suggestion.

889
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Since the stalagmites seem to turn into the creatures.

890
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Perhaps we could just get on the magic carpet fly down to the hole avoid all the stalagmites and get out of this room.

891
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
I'm on board.

892
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
Literally and figuratively.

893
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Flint just kind of has this look on his face like we could have ridden the carpet the whole time.

894
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,000
I mean honestly.

895
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:04,000
I thought about it at the beginning and then I thought well that's not it's not very fun if all we do is get on a magic carpet and ride all the time.

896
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
But at this point.

897
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Yeah you know what's in this room.

898
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,000
We know what's going on.

899
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
We can have outsmarted it.

900
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,000
But yeah otherwise it's like K.

901
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Ross we just ride the magic carpet through the hole built.

902
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
A used path without a trace.

903
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Yeah like it's let's make it more fun.

904
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Let's blow up a stalagmite even though our friends don't know why we're doing it.

905
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000
It was confusing but it's very good.

906
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,000
You all climb aboard the magic carpet.

907
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:34,000
Every time you turn and look back this once the lag might has moved a little bit more.

908
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,000
You're not fooling anyone.

909
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,000
That's what I yell at it.

910
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:41,000
Is it like the ghosts in Mario when you turn around and look at them they like stop.

911
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Exactly exactly.

912
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:51,000
You fly down into this opening down at the bottom over top of the.

913
00:49:51,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Other gibbering mouth or who you see form back into the gibbering mouth or kind of look defeated and then form back into a stalagmite.

914
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:09,000
And then begin to move back to its other location slowly as you disappear into this cavern below it narrows and gets down to about 15 feet.

915
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,000
You're still able to all stand atop the magic carpet if you so desire.

916
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Yes.

917
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,000
Flying through.

918
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Well sitting.

919
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
I feel like I'd sit.

920
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Yeah.

921
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,000
I don't know.

922
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,000
Maybe I push my luck.

923
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Maybe a little bode point break here.

924
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,000
I don't know.

925
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,000
I feel like sometimes I probably would but since.

926
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Yeah we don't know what's coming.

927
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,000
There's narrow caverns.

928
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:35,000
It seems like I don't want to like get clothesline myself.

929
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Also you fall off.

930
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,000
I believe this carpet just drops out of the air.

931
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Yeah probably.

932
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,000
That's cool.

933
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,000
OK.

934
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:47,000
You're all sitting on the magic carpet as the Russ is like oh that's good to know.

935
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Just writing something down completely unrelated to nothing has to do with it.

936
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:03,000
And then this chamber quickly opens up as you slow your pace and enter a new area where there are.

937
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:11,000
There is a slab of jet black stone that sits at the center of this cavern alcove.

938
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Its sides show relief carvings of familiar old faces.

939
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:25,000
You look at them a little more closely and they're your own faces.

940
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Do those look like.

941
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,000
This looks like.

942
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,000
This looks like us it doesn't it.

943
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:38,000
I don't remember sitting for this.

944
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:45,000
But like they did a really good job with aged me though like two hundred and fifty years.

945
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,000
You look very distinguished as an older elf.

946
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Oh thanks Yen Bull.

947
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,000
You've aged nicely yourself.

948
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,000
I feel we should not touch anything because.

949
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Yeah yeah we should never touch anything in here.

950
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:07,000
This is not piles of garbage but it is magical and dangerous in that way I suspect.

951
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
It is a sneaky kind of danger.

952
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Yes.

953
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
OK.

954
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Can we look around and see an exit.

955
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,000
There's no exit.

956
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Of course not.

957
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Is there an exit up.

958
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,000
I look up.

959
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Negative.

960
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,000
There's a sign that says if you want to exit touch your own portrait.

961
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Everybody make an investigation check in this room.

962
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Just going to say can I investigate.

963
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Not great guys.

964
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Not great.

965
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Oh well I got a four.

966
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,000
So thank God.

967
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,000
This is the Flint.

968
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Flint knows all.

969
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Flint knows stuff.

970
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Flint's a real smart guy.

971
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Flint knows all and Rust dodges all of Amy's spells.

972
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,000
I didn't mean to.

973
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,000
It just happened.

974
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,000
It's fine.

975
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Let's just not talk about it.

976
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,000
I didn't mean to know everything but I keep.

977
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,000
I know.

978
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,000
This is your underground.

979
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
This is your this is your home.

980
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Oh this is.

981
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
This is.

982
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Seems underground.

983
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Underground in a floating pyramid.

984
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,000
It seems like you're underground in a floating pyramid.

985
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Also Tom I think that's how I live my life.

986
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,000
I didn't mean to know everything.

987
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,000
It just happened.

988
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,000
It's not my fault I knew everything.

989
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:18,000
You Flint look around the room and you find no signs of egress and you look closely

990
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:25,000
not touching but closely at the table and you watch it and periodically it alters the

991
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,000
carvings on it.

992
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:34,000
You see the faces as you entered and as you move around the table they seem to follow

993
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:41,000
you and you see writings form between all of these movements.

994
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Can I read what the writings say?

995
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Is it a language I'm familiar with?

996
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Maybe it is in do you know Elvish Elvin?

997
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,000
I do not.

998
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:05,000
This looks like do you see the writing that happens on the table it looks like maybe

999
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Elvish but I really only need the or I really only know the the word for friend

1000
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000
and bathroom.

1001
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,000
No I don't know that one.

1002
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,000
All right.

1003
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Oh that oh that would explain a lot.

1004
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Okay it says you look at it and it looks like an old form of Elvish.

1005
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:41,000
So you make out touch transport and level touch transport level and then I can't it's

1006
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,000
it's in an archaic script.

1007
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,000
We don't write like this anymore.

1008
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Touch transport level.

1009
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Can I roll something?

1010
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,000
I also speak Elvish can I roll something to see if I can understand?

1011
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Sure.

1012
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Yeah make it make it make an intelligence check.

1013
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
It's not great.

1014
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Can you use history or?

1015
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,000
Oh history is good.

1016
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,000
History could be good.

1017
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,000
I'm an anthropologist you see.

1018
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
I like learning about things.

1019
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Did we know that about you?

1020
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,000
No because we you guys don't know me at all.

1021
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,000
We came and then the city was exploding.

1022
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,000
There's been a lot of adventure.

1023
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:23,000
You look at it and you see the words that touch transport level and you piece them

1024
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:35,000
together into a phrase that loosely translates to when you touch this portal you will

1025
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:40,000
transport yourself to the next level.

1026
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:49,000
And you can also make out you will be one step closer to the edge.

1027
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,000
And I'm about to break.

1028
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,000
No you will be one step closer.

1029
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
You will be one step closer.

1030
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:03,000
This promises to move us to the next level but what level?

1031
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Well level of the pyramid.

1032
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Level of Shangalar's twisted mind.

1033
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,000
I think those might be one in the same thing.

1034
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,000
You might be right.

1035
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,000
I feel like maybe we're on the bottom level of the pyramid and we have to find this

1036
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:25,000
room on each level that will maybe transport us up to the next level.

1037
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Yes we must be on the bottom all we find is garbage.

1038
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Trash.

1039
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Fair enough.

1040
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Refuse.

1041
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:32,000
It's got to go down.

1042
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,000
That's true.

1043
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,000
It all flows downhill.

1044
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:42,000
I think we should all touch at the same time just in case we somehow get separated.

1045
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Yes.

1046
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:48,000
No we don't have like a freaky Friday situation here.

1047
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Would you love to be in this body for a day?

1048
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,000
It can turn into any animal you want.

1049
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Okay.

1050
00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Describe to me the process in which you for Senkumbaya.

1051
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,000
I don't know.

1052
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:06,000
We shuffle to find our own face so that we're standing.

1053
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,000
Yeah it would make sense to touch your own face.

1054
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:14,000
It would be weird to touch someone else's old carved face.

1055
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Yep.

1056
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Okay.

1057
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Kind of reach slowly out with everyone at the same pace and like look at each

1058
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
other like is this happening?

1059
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:33,000
I reach to my side and I grab the back of like whoever's so like Yen Bull's shirt.

1060
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Yeah we'll say it goes Thea, Yen Bull, Flint, Mannix.

1061
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,000
So I reach.

1062
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
I don't think to reach out and grab anyone's shirt.

1063
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,000
I reach out to grab.

1064
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Can I reach that far?

1065
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Sure.

1066
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,000
I thought it was all on the same side I didn't realize it was on.

1067
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,000
Yeah they've been moving around as I described.

1068
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Yeah just you know I said just in case.

1069
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Do we say three?

1070
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Two?

1071
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Thought someone else was gonna jump in there.

1072
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,000
One.

1073
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:14,000
You all touch the table at the same time and the floor drops out beneath you like

1074
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,000
a rushing wave of wind.

1075
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,000
It's like you're being propelled up into the sky.

1076
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:30,000
And then in a flash you're in a stonewalled hallway.

1077
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,000
It's torch lit all the way down.

1078
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,000
You look down one way and it ends in a dead end.

1079
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,000
You look down the other way.

1080
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
It goes down 10 to 16 meters.

1081
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Another hallway.

1082
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,000
How refreshing.

1083
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Are we all here?

1084
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,000
We look around.

1085
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,000
Are we all there?

1086
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,000
I'm here.

1087
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:57,000
All four of you are there and Thea you hear something.

1088
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Are we here?

1089
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Hurry. Hurry.

1090
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Gotta go. Gotta go fast.

1091
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,000
Gotta go.

1092
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Gotta go really quick.

1093
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Okay boys.

1094
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Ah.

1095
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Ah.

1096
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Shh.

1097
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,000
And then down at the end of the hallway you see a pseudo dragon zip by.

1098
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:13,000
And then come back and looks down towards you and zip.

1099
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Holy fucking shit!

1100
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,000
Donnie!

1101
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:40,000

1108
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:25,000
And I also pull out the last of that bread and the smelly cheese and put it on the top as the cherry on the garbage sundae.

1109
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,000
I'm hungry already.

1110
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:34,000
I feel like cherry on the garbage sundae has got to be the title of the episode.

1111

Yep, absolutely.
