00:17:07,000 Isn't it? 367 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,000 Then you'd never be able to roll double zero. 368 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000 Yeah. 369 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000 That's true. 370 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000 How do you roll 100 then? 371 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000 You don't. 372 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000 It's double zero to 99. 373 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Yeah. 374 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000 It's double zero to 99. 375 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000 Well, there you go. 376 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000 We're learning so much. 377 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000 I always learn anytime we have someone on the. 378 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,000 I know. 379 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000 It's always very educational for us. 380 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000 Also, this is like the third time I've had to do this. 381 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,000 It's true. 382 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Although this is a man who has literally written the two books. 383 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000 So I mean, we have much to learn. 384 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000 We differ. 385 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000 So you release burning hands. 386 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:44,000 And what you see with the Helms is like their plate armor gets red hot. 387 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:53,000 And you see from within like this crumbling material come out of the one that looks 388 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000 like it was. 389 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,000 You see Glim's Warpick stuck into this one. 390 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000 And then it crumbles and falls. 391 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,000 And the other one falls to one knee as it takes this heat damage. 392 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:12,000 And with your Wild Magic Surge, you feel this warmth of energy kind of come over 393 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000 you as you regain 2D10 hit points. 394 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000 Oh, well, all right. 395 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000 That's pleasant. 396 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Which is, in theory, more hit points than I even have to work with. 397 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000 I was going to say, are you even down any hit points? 398 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000 You just feel really good about yourself. 399 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,000 All right. 400 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Back to Flora's Lava. 401 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:39,000 The one that's still intact is the one outside or the one inside? 402 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000 No, it would be the one inside. 403 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,000 The one who pushed it. 404 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000 So I would not be able to see it then. 405 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Yeah, you'd see like because it fell to one knee. 406 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,000 You'd be able to see like its foot and leg sticking out if you were to look over. 407 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,000 OK. 408 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000 Well, I can hit that. 409 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000 I am presumably unseen. 410 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000 So I'm going to make a sling attack against it. 411 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000 All right. 412 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000 Sling to the foot's the new arrow to the knee. 413 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000 And that is a that is a 23 to hit. 414 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,000 23 is going to hit. 415 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Absolutely roll damage. 416 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000 That is five damage. 417 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000 Glim, Moot, and Sully, you see this. 418 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000 You're slinging like rocks, I assume. 419 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Or like little little sling bullets. 420 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000 You see this bullet zip through the air and hit this foot. 421 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:33,000 And then its leg explodes and it's like this crumbling dust that falls out and the armor falls to the ground. 422 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000 And I am amazed. 423 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000 I hit one of these with my war pick. 424 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000 Kind of hurt it. 425 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000 This guy sling takes it out. 426 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000 Amazing. 427 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000 Glim is so impressed with Flora's Lava. 428 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000 I go down and I I look at like what is the powder? 429 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,000 Does it seem? 430 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000 Is there a residue? 431 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Is it sand? 432 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,000 It looks like like earth clay, like dried like their golems. 433 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000 I don't think these are real people. 434 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000 You're still silent. 435 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:08,000 Talking is about the only good thing Sullivan's Sling does. 436 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000 You're out of combat. 437 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000 What do you what do you for do? 438 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:20,000 I think we need to go upstairs because we know Flora's Lava isn't going to come down to ground level and we want to like get going. 439 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000 Make the little like walking with my fingers pointing up. 440 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Yeah. 441 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000 Moot leads you back up the way that he came. 442 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000 And now you're all in the same room again. 443 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,000 OK. 444 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,000 I close the windows. 445 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,000 OK. 446 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000 If there are shades I pull them. 447 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:41,000 I drop the silent spell and I say I assume you have left no trace of our movements downstairs. 448 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000 You close the door lock it again. 449 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000 Yeah. 450 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Yeah. 451 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Just just give me just give me one second. 452 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000 I just I forgot something definitely incriminating down there. 453 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000 Sullivan Slate sneaks downstairs closes the door. 454 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000 Roll stealth. 455 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000 What do you do with the armor? 456 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000 I there was just a little foot outside the door. 457 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000 I bend it. 458 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000 There was also another helm outside the door. 459 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000 No that happened inside the door. 460 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000 No. 461 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000 How what? 462 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Well I I rolled a 22. 463 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,000 So at least I'm stealthily trying to pull these. 464 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000 They're not filled with anything but dirt anymore. 465 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000 So I'm going to try to pull them in quietly. 466 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,000 Yeah. 467 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,000 OK. 468 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Twenty two. 469 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000 You can absolutely get them back inside. 470 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,000 It takes you a little while. 471 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:43,000 Like I assume that the three upstairs are just kind of kicking around like looking down the street like oh god. 472 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,000 Why did we let him leave alone. 473 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:52,000 It takes you a while but you are able to clean up most of the mess that was made downstairs and then you come back up. 474 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000 Probably a little winded because there's a lot of armor pieces. 475 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000 I must rest here for a while before I can take you any further on. 476 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Yeah me too. 477 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000 That was like really hard. 478 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,000 You guys carried some jugs the whole time so I thought I had to do my part you know. 479 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000 OK so we're taking a short rest. 480 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000 Yes. 481 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,000 OK. 482 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000 If anybody would like to regain hit points you can roll hit dice. 483 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000 I think Glenn was the only one who was hit. 484 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000 Yeah. 485 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000 You get all of your key points back Keith or. 486 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:27,000 And I can because I'm brass I can get all all my hit points back. 487 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000 I mean I'd only lost four but four is a lot when you're a level two. 488 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000 That's right. 489 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,000 It is a lot. 490 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,000 Perfect. 491 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000 Everybody is rested. 492 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:45,000 As you're as you're waiting you hear more footsteps of helms patrolling the streets. 493 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000 You hear far off in the distance the sound of shoes voice. 494 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000 It's got to be around this corner here sometime. 495 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000 They can only have gone so far the city isn't. 496 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,000 That's pretty big. 497 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000 But I mean you know they won't get past the guards at the gate for sure. 498 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000 And you see more of those sentry gargoyles zipping through the air. 499 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000 As your short rest concludes. 500 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,000 OK. 501 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:20,000 I will go to the window and wait for a gap in the in the sentry gargoyle activity. 502 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:33,000 And then when when there seems to be a break open the window quietly and scamper up to the roof and not casting pass without trace or anything at this moment. 503 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,000 Not yet. 504 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000 Not yet. 505 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000 I'm just trying to move quietly myself. 506 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Do you articulate anything to your friends or you're just going up by your lonesome. 507 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000 I will say wait here for a moment while I make sure everything is safe. 508 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000 Give me an acrobatics check please. 509 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,000 That's a 16. 510 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,000 Yeah. 511 00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:03,000 You climb out the window once you're you're fairly certain that the sentries have have cleared the area and you can make it up to the top in a pretty well hidden area. 512 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000 Are you looking for anything in particular or just to just to make sure it's clear. 513 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,000 I'm just trying to stay hidden myself and I'm scanning the sky to see can I see any sentry gargoyles. 514 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000 What are they doing. 515 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000 You get up there and you do see them. 516 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:25,000 They are at this moment they've fallen into a formation where they're circling streets now. 517 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,000 Like you see two or three of them in tandem moving around streets and then moving down one group to the east. 518 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:41,000 The east is heading away from your area and then you catch just kind of a glint of another group that's coming from off to the west. 519 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000 OK. 520 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000 So we need to stay ahead of them basically. 521 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,000 Yeah. 522 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,000 I will climb back down report that to the group and say it is time we must go. 523 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,000 Now have we made it halfway to our destination. 524 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Less than halfway. 525 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000 I'd say you're halfway maybe a little bit more. 526 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,000 OK. 527 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,000 Absolutely. 528 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,000 That's some pretty good pretty good ground in that first one with the pass without trace there. 529 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000 So yeah you're a little more than halfway of where you need to be. 530 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,000 We will do that one more time. 531 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000 Another pass without trace. 532 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000 And does anyone here have a rope. 533 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000 Yeah. 534 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000 OK. 535 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Give it to me. 536 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000 Both of our ropes are. 537 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000 I only need one. 538 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,000 OK. 539 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000 All right. 540 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000 I will climb up to the roof lower it down so that so that they can climb up it. 541 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000 Everybody's able to climb up. 542 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000 No real danger based on floors lavas scouting ahead. 543 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:43,000 So you can all make it back up to the rooftop and proceed along as you desire. 544 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000 And return the rope. 545 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000 OK. 546 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000 I will lead them toward the northern edge of the city then. 547 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000 All right. 548 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000 Everybody give me a stealth check. 549 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:03,000 Given given that the city is on high alert I am not going to lead them to the north gate. 550 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:14,000 I'm going to lead them to any place that is close enough to the north wall that they might be able to get over it without going through the gate. 551 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000 OK. 552 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,000 Now I don't know if this is like a castle wall where they have people patrolling the battlements or anything like that. 553 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000 But but we're going to try to circumvent the gate if we can. 554 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Sure. 555 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000 Yeah. 556 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000 There are two main entrances. 557 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:38,000 But definitely you know I would say you that you know of an area off of that that you would maybe needs a little repair. 558 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000 Yeah. 559 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000 That you would you would use to get in and out if you so desired. 560 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000 Well plus those walls are primarily built to keep people out. 561 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,000 Exactly. 562 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000 Not to keep people from going out. 563 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000 So that's what we're going to do. 564 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000 And I did not make my stealth roll yet. 565 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000 Let me do that. 566 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:01,000 That is a glorious with pass without trace 19. 567 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000 Good thing for pass without a trace. 568 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,000 I know. 569 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,000 Yeah. 570 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Thirty six. 571 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,000 Fuck. 572 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Sixteen. 573 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000 Which normally would be just a fine roll but somehow feels. 574 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000 Twenty two for me Russ. 575 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000 Listen this is all I have. 576 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,000 This is it. 577 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000 OK. 578 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:32,000 The four of you begin hopping from rooftop to rooftop again following in this from what the three of you can tell like this haphazard pattern like it doesn't look like. 579 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:47,000 You can see now that you can see the gate or the wall of the city and you frequently turn away from it as you are being led into more of a spiral pattern in order to hop from the best rooftop to the next one. 580 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000 That is the easiest. 581 00:27:49,000 --> 00:28:03,000 You make it most of the way you you notice that you're you're gaining on the wall and you see the three of you see the gate that you came into the city on. 582 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:17,000 But it doesn't look like you are going in that direction. 583 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000 We're here in the middle. 584 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,000 We sing all the time Keith. 585 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,000 It's just what we do. 586 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,000 Always an intro song. 587 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Always an intro song. 588 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Always an intro song. 589 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000 Keith gets it. 590 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000 Keith gets it. 591 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000 Now can you can you spit us some hot rhymes. 592 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000 Oh yeah. 593 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000 Sometimes we try and do that and it is not good. 594 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000 I know my limits. 595 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,000 It's good to know your limits. 596 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,000 That's the correct answer. 597 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000 And we just keep trying to push through. 598 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,000 But this is the point where we come talk to you Keith because you have two books. 599 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000 One is new that we want to tell everybody about where they can get it. 600 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000 It's called Live to Tell the Tale. 601 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000 New out. 602 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,000 Give us a little bit of why did you write this book and who is it for. 603 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000 This book is for players mostly beginning and intermediate players. 604 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:13,000 Although advanced ones might be able to pick up a thing or two by going back to the fundamentals. 605 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:28,000 But mainly it is for players who want to increase the chances that their beloved immersive role play characters will survive what their DMs are throwing at them especially if those DMs have read my other book. 606 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000 The Monsters Know What They're Doing Combat Tactics for DMs. 607 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000 This is not a book about min-maxing. 608 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:45,000 It is a book about determining the best strategies for the character you have created however you've chosen to create that character. 609 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:58,000 So if you are an immersive role player or you just like doing wacky things with your characters there whatever you have whatever choices you have made in creating that character. 610 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:08,000 There is a way to optimize that character's chances of being effective in combat and surviving combat encounters. 611 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:15,000 And living to play out the terrific story arcs that you and your DM have planned for your characters. 612 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:20,000 I love it because both Tom and I have The Monsters Know What They're Doing. 613 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:32,000 And you know it it it's not that it makes it harder but it's good that everybody is kind of on the same playing field with having both of these together now. 614 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:39,000 I've started reading through it initially here and there's lots of great useful stuff that I'm sure Amy and Carla are going to go just. 615 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000 Well someone who has lost one of their beloved characters. 616 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000 I'm going to give this a cover to cover. 617 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Someone who's seen a friend lose a beloved character. 618 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000 I'm also going to avoid that. 619 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000 Not do that again. 620 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,000 Although you know I did my best but still I'd like to not lose more. 621 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000 I'm the one that loses all the characters. 622 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:08,000 I was reading Keith's older book earlier today because I'm DMing a session tomorrow that we're playing in. 623 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000 And every time I DM I read about the monsters that I've picked to use in my adventure. 624 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,000 Every single time I learn something new and it's just awesome. 625 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000 It's such a good resource. 626 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000 I 10 out of 10 cannot recommend it enough. 627 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000 Keith it's an awesome book. 628 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000 Thank you. 629 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,000 And we've talked about the book. 630 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000 Where can people find it? 631 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:39,000 Both The Monsters Know What They're Doing and Live to Tell the Tale are published by Saga Press which is a trade book publisher which means you can buy it at your local independent bookstore. 632 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:46,000 You can buy it from bookshop.org, from Barnes and Noble, Amazon, anywhere else you buy trade books. 633 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:52,000 But you know this pandemic has really hit local bookstores hard. 634 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000 So if you've got one in your area do them a solid. 635 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,000 Do so. 636 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,000 We'll link all of Keith's information down in the description. 637 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Thank you Keith again for joining us for these two episodes. 638 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000 Tons of fun. 639 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000 If this is the first episode the second episode is going to be more wild for you. 640 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:15,000 If this is the second episode thank you so much for joining us again Keith and we look forward to when we're able to sit down and play again in the future. 641 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000 Thanks again for inviting me. 642 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,000 Thank you so much. 643 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000 It was a real treat. 644 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000 Alright we'll get you back to the episode now. 645 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000 Have a great week. 646 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,000 We'll talk to you soon. 647 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000 Hey how are we going out the gate? 648 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000 It's like right over there. 649 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000 The city is on high alert. 650 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,000 We are trying to avoid the gate, not go through it. 651 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000 I am taking you to another point on the wall. 652 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000 That sounds sound. 653 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000 Yeah. 654 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000 Good idea. 655 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000 That's what I would have done if I was in charge of the sneak mission. 656 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,000 Trusting Flora's Lava now you pause when you need to pause. 657 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:56,000 You sense when the sentries are coming and you make your way to the closest building to the wall. 658 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:07,000 Now as far as making it to the wall it is a double wide street going around the perimeter. 659 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000 Does the owner of the rope also happen to own a grappling hook? 660 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000 I don't think that I do. 661 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000 This character doesn't I don't think. 662 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000 How about you Sully? 663 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,000 You're kind of sneaky. 664 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000 Seems like something you'd be more likely to have. 665 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000 You'd think I'd have a grappling hook. 666 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000 I used to have a thousand ball bearings if anyone needed to know. 667 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,000 I do have a fairy tale book. 668 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,000 People just don't buy grappling hooks in 5E the way they used to. 669 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000 I guess I just don't scale buildings or walls. 670 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000 Long for the good old days. 671 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,000 Grappling hooks. 672 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,000 I got nothing. 673 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,000 So by a double wide street we're talking like 10 feet, 20 feet? 674 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000 Probably closer to 20 feet. 675 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,000 Okay. 676 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,000 Is there a plan for where you want this rope to go? 677 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000 Because I might have a little trick up my sleeve. 678 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000 Tell us about this trick. 679 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,000 Well Flor I see this nifty cloak I'm wearing. 680 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,000 I have the ability to turn into a bat. 681 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000 I totally forgot. 682 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:17,000 So if there's somewhere we need that rope to go I can maybe take it up there unbat myself and tie it up. 683 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:24,000 We need to find a way to make the rope taut between this building and the wall. 684 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000 Can you do that? 685 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000 Is there any place on the wall that he might be able to tie it off? 686 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000 There would definitely be at the very least a flag pole. 687 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,000 But yeah there's ramparts or whatever they call it. 688 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000 The up and downy parts. 689 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000 The up and downy parts. 690 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000 The pointy parts up at the top. 691 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000 That is to leg might or is to leg tight? 692 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000 Exactly. 693 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000 Yes there would be a spot. 694 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,000 If he were able to get it up top there, there would be a point where you could tie it off. 695 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000 Now as a bat can he actually carry the weight of a rope? 696 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000 That was going to be my other question. 697 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000 What kind of bat are you? 698 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000 Because some fruit bats are pretty big. 699 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000 Like volleyball sized. 700 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000 It just says I'm a bat. 701 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000 What sports ball size would you say you are? 702 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000 We talk in golf. 703 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,000 We do not need the bat to carry the rope. 704 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,000 He flies across as a bat then we throw the rope to him. 705 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000 That's true because a bat has minus four strings. 706 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000 But yeah he could just fly over and then we could check it. 707 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000 Or we could like shoot an arrow at him. 708 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000 He can catch it out of the air. 709 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000 How are you feeling Lucky? 710 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000 I feel great about that idea. 711 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000 If only he was a monk. 712 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,000 Yeah I guess I can turn into a bat and head over there if that's the game plan for everyone. 713 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000 This is going to blow my fucking mind. 714 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000 Do it. 715 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000 I can't wait to see it. 716 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000 Are you naked when you're a bat? 717 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,000 We haven't seen you do it. Please do it. 718 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000 Are you wearing clothes when you're a bat? 719 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,000 You know what?
