[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.5s] As you step through and your eyes are trying to adjust and you're seeing this before you,
[9.2s] this wave of energy blasts out towards all of you and you're all going to take
[15.3s] 32 psychic damage and be stunned for one minute.
[22.0s] Oh, okay.
[23.0s] Welcome to tonight's game.
[25.5s] I feel like it just ended.
[27.3s] Well, you feel these tentacles wrap around your face and there's like this alien like teeth,
[34.7s] mouth beginning to take a chomp out of your face and for everybody they hear like this
[43.4s] this like suction this and moot's gone.
[47.0s] Pleasure to see you again, Moot.
[48.6s] It's been a while.
[50.1s] Have you come to make good?
[53.3s] Kind of in a bit of a pickle here being here and all my friends
[58.1s] being back wherever we were in that weird moist cave.
[62.2s] Oh, oh, so you've so you've come for another favor.
[67.4s] There's this brilliant flash of like electric light and moot.
[70.9s] You're hovering above the brain in the center of this room blast of energy
[76.5s] that ripples out around the room briefly stunning the creatures in the room
[83.2s] while at the same time releasing your friends from their paralysis
[86.6s] that's been holding them for the last 18 seconds.

[148.0s] She her playing Agath who also doesn't have a mouthful of peanut butter,
[152.6s] just a mouthful of cave floor and mind flayer hatred.
[158.0s] She her.
[159.4s] Yeah, I realized now that I was like, is everybody ready?
[163.0s] And then I didn't stop and wait for a response.
[165.0s] No, she had a mouthful of peanut butter.
[167.7s] I realized that after I introduced Thomas looking over and like.
[172.0s] I'm pointing at her just like, panic, panic, panic.
[177.2s] She's got a mouthful of peanut butter.
[178.8s] Either choose her first.
[180.2s] That's all right.
[180.8s] Amy's a pro.
[182.2s] She know how to drag that out.
[183.3s] That's right.
[183.9s] I handled it.
[184.8s] It was fine.
[185.8s] Oh, yes.
[186.8s] So much fun.

[212.2s] Everyone else.
[213.2s] Yeah, just yeah.
[215.0s] I'm just always there in the background.
[217.8s] And she's reading everything.
[219.2s] There's been like three dog photos you've posted over the course of it.
[223.0s] Yeah, fair enough.
[223.9s] If my dog was able to take a photo of my dog where he wasn't moving,
[231.4s] I'd post pictures every day.
[232.7s] But every picture is just a blur.
[234.4s] The flash running through the screen.
[235.9s] That's right.
[236.4s] But when you are a patron, you also get an episode dedicated to you.
[239.6s] Like today's patron, Darylith.

[275.0s] And now, fuck it, let's play.
[278.1s] Or die.
[279.6s] Either or.
[280.5s] I mean, it's still up in the air.
[282.2s] Yes, and?
[284.2s] Have you been to the improv classes?
[293.0s] We left our friends in a perilous scene
[298.3s] where everybody except Sullivan Sleight and Glim were...
[304.7s] Taking naps, slaggers.
[306.2s] Taking naps on the job.
[308.2s] Being controlled by this elder brain.
[313.8s] Surrounded by mind flares and troglodytes.
[317.0s] And these other weird things that started coming in.
[320.2s] Grells, these bird-beaked brains with tentacles.
[324.6s] Coming in, moving upon our adventures.
[327.8s] As Moot makes an electric appearance high above the brain.
[332.9s] And there's this blast of energy
[335.4s] that comes out from him and from the location where he arrives.
[339.8s] And everybody who's incapacitated.
[343.8s] And everybody who's mind controlled.
[346.9s] There's this static shock that runs through you.
[351.8s] And you feel movement come back to you.
[355.2s] As everybody is able to get up of their own accord.
[361.4s] What?
[362.2s] Nothing!
[362.6s] What?
[363.0s] No, I'm imagining him coming down, floating down.
[367.6s] But he's got a harness on.
[369.9s] There's pressure wires.
[371.7s] And he's got a microphone.
[372.9s] He's wearing leather pants.
[374.1s] And he's all like, get up!
[375.8s] Get on up.
[377.0s] And everyone is doing that.
[381.9s] So that's what my big smile is.
[385.5s] I mean, I'm super into it.
[388.1s] And it's like, where do you get the leather pants?
[391.0s] That was the old search boot.
[393.0s] Yep, that's right.
[393.8s] Yep.
[394.2s] It was the pants.
[395.0s] Everybody wakes up and you get assless chaps.
[398.3s] 100%.
[400.2s] Moot, it is your turn in rotation.
[402.7s] You are electrified with wild magic energy as well as the...
[409.8s] I mean, we'll play with this great old one situation for a little while.
[415.4s] As long as we need to here.
[417.0s] You are hovering in the space above the brain.
[421.4s] Which its tentacles are now with this energy that's in the room.
[425.0s] Flailing around, as I said, you can hear its calls.
[428.6s] You can't make sense of them.
[429.8s] Hear its calls competing with the great old one's calls
[432.2s] as it's screaming to all of the other creatures,
[434.7s] which have amassed more since you left the space.
[439.7s] Which really was instance ago, but for you feels like a little bit longer.
[443.7s] Like a few minutes, as you were discussing.
[445.8s] The goings on with Athabasca getting caught up in the void space.
[450.0s] Can you give me a rundown of where everything is in relation to this giant brain?
[454.6s] Okay, so you got the giant brain.
[457.9s] We'll say you're facing your friends and the entrance which you came in.
[465.0s] Glim and Sully appear to be fighting or have...
[468.7s] They appear to be fighting as you enter.
[471.0s] Everybody else is kind of laid out in the space around them.
[473.7s] All of these soft clawed creatures, the troglodytes,
[477.3s] are moving quickly around the walls.
[480.3s] Some of them leaping in the air down towards your friends.
[484.2s] There are the grells, the bird-beaked brains coming in from behind.
[487.8s] And you look behind and there is this cavern that goes deeper into this tunnel system
[495.4s] where they appear to be coming out of.
[498.6s] And then tentacles splashing around in this giant lake pool that the brain is suspended in.
[506.5s] Mind flayers hovering.
[508.7s] I was like, what about the mind flayers?
[510.6s] But I didn't want to be like, what about the homework teacher?
[513.3s] Yeah, that's right.
[515.0s] What about the quiz we're supposed to have?
[516.7s] How far away are Moot and Sully and Agath and Rex?
[521.4s] From the brain, you're right over top of it.
[523.5s] Everybody else is probably tentacles coming out like 60 to 75 feet.
[530.2s] So they've got some distance but you are within any proximity.
[535.0s] Yeah, if I can hit the brain with a fireball, that's what's going to happen here.
[540.0s] It's like the downtime didn't even happen, you guys.
[544.2s] Well, Ice Storm is like a big cylinder that I will be inside of.
[549.8s] Aren't you immune to your own shit?
[552.9s] That's what I wonder.
[553.8s] I mean, maybe when I'm all supercharged.
[555.8s] I don't know, Russ, how are you feeling about it?
[558.4s] Nah, we'll say that you've got a level of protection.
[561.7s] Okay, then we are changing to Ice Storm.
[565.4s] Cut it up.
[566.6s] Hate this brain.
[567.5s] Well, it does bludgeoning damage and brains are soft, so.
[570.8s] Absolutely.
[571.8s] That will hopefully be a good thing.
[574.2s] Russ, you need to make a dexterity saving throw.
[576.5s] The humidity in here is really making Glim's hair look pretty hilarious though,
[580.2s] so we'll probably all laugh about it once we're out of this situation.
[582.4s] I'm imagining you are like Monica in Jamaica.
[587.6s] Does three succeed?
[590.9s] Three is very close.
[592.6s] Okay, I just wanted to be part of the team here, just like with low rolls.
[600.1s] This hailstorm just starts to like absolutely pound this giant brain,
[605.0s] and you're going to take a bunch of bludgeoning and cold damage.
[611.9s] Here we go.
[613.4s] No immunities to any of those.
[614.8s] Okay.
[615.1s] Oh, do you have immunities to fire?
[616.9s] I'm not telling you what I have immunities to.
[619.0s] I have no immunities to none of those.
[620.5s] That's 17 bludgeoning and a bunch of colds coming your way too.
[624.4s] Well, from the zero damage I've taken so far.
[629.1s] 26 cold on top of that.
[631.0s] 26, 17, 33, 43.
[633.6s] And the hailstorms will turn the area of effect into difficult terrain until the next turn.
[639.2s] Okay, so we're going to say like the pool beneath it begins to freeze,
[642.8s] so the tentacles have problems, difficulty moving.
[647.8s] It's going to try to hit you with one of those tentacles before they're completely locked in.
[654.5s] That's going to be an 18 to hit.
[656.7s] 18 will hit.
[658.2s] Okay, you're going to take 20 bludgeoning damage,
[662.3s] and you are make a strength saving throw, please.
[668.4s] I are make a strength saving throw.
[670.6s] Coming up.
[671.1s] You are make a strength saving throw.
[673.0s] Oh, that's a 20.
[675.0s] You are not grappled, so you're going to take that bludgeoning damage, but not be grappled.
[680.3s] Is there anything else you can do on your turn, sir?
[683.4s] No, no, that is all we are doing this time.
[685.8s] Okay, well, I mean, that's pretty good.
[687.8s] It's pretty good coming back and saving the fucking day.
[692.6s] What would the mind flayers do in this situation?
[695.7s] They haven't specifically taken damage.
[697.7s] Dodge just like this is going south, man.
[700.2s] We're out of here.
[701.7s] We're not paid enough.
[703.0s] It's going to I don't think this one has recharged.
[706.1s] So I'm going to try it recharges.
[707.8s] It's going to try and try and mind blast you moot.
[715.8s] Make an intelligence saving throw, please.
[719.3s] Also, Russ, I did have a bonus action that I would like to retcon into the end of my last turn.
[724.2s] Go for it.
[725.1s] Where I cast mage armor on myself, which I can do at will without expending any spell slots or components.
[731.9s] OK, we'll say the boon for you is you also get advantage on your saving throws and ability checks.
[739.1s] Oh, OK, that's dope.
[741.3s] First one is a 17.
[744.0s] 17 saves.
[744.9s] So yeah, the 18 was for the brain.
[747.0s] It's been much it's much more intelligent.
[750.1s] By one hit point.
[751.0s] So 17 does succeed.
[752.2s] So you don't need that.
[753.5s] Awesome.
[753.8s] Well, 17 was my best one.
[755.2s] OK, so you got this blast comes out.
[759.0s] It doesn't work on you.
[761.0s] You do take 11 psychic damage, however, half damage.
[765.8s] Agatha, you have motion motion.
[769.8s] You are prone to stand up as half your movement, but there are the troglodytes
[774.8s] bearing down on you in the air.
[777.0s] So even if you were to stand up and have half movement,
[779.4s] like you're going to be able to hit something several things if you want to.
[782.8s] I would love to hit several things.
[784.5s] But is there a mind flair within
[790.6s] whacking a distance in melee?
[793.0s] No, within range.
[794.3s] Yes.
[795.1s] OK, could I move to make it?
[797.1s] I do have a reach weapon.
[799.2s] So if I moved and then I had a long weapon.
[803.6s] Can it reach 15 feet in the air?
[806.4s] I want I want.
[807.4s] What if he lands?
[808.9s] It says reach.
[809.8s] I don't know.
[810.8s] I can look up reach five feet.
[813.4s] No, it's 15.
[814.6s] Totally 15.
[815.6s] Yeah, you're probably right.
[816.3s] Holy 50.
[817.3s] They're just carrying around a 15 foot stick.
[820.1s] OK, no, hold on.
[821.0s] Wait, is there one of those stupid brain birds
[823.0s] she could step on and jump into the air and hit it?
[826.3s] Yeah, let's do that.
[827.4s] That sounds like that.
[829.4s] Yeah, describe that to me if that's what you want.
[831.4s] Brain birds one stone.
[832.8s] Yeah, exactly.
[834.5s] All right, Agatha gets up and is royally pissed off.
[839.4s] She does not like being incapacitated one bit.
[843.0s] And locks eyes with one of these horrific googly face tentacle bros.
[850.4s] And just like, you know, I don't know what this gesture is called.
[854.5s] The the point net your eyes point net their eyes gesture.
[858.2s] I'm the captain now.
[859.4s] Yeah, like I'm a very different movie.
[862.1s] Yeah, I don't know.
[863.6s] But that's what she does.
[865.2s] And she just takes off.
[866.8s] And like with those big thunderous Goliath steps
[871.4s] and leaps and like, you know, air runs.
[876.9s] Crushing brain, crushing bird brain birds under her feet
[881.0s] and then like comes down stabbing with this giant lance.
[885.0s] Awesome.
[885.4s] Yeah, come on.
[886.7s] Come on, dice.
[888.4s] Oh, my God.
[890.8s] OK, OK, OK, OK.
[892.1s] That's not a natural 20, but a 20.
[894.6s] Yeah, that'll hit.
[895.9s] All right.
[896.7s] Vicious lance.
[899.4s] Get vicious.
[901.5s] That is 12 points of vicious lance damage.
[909.7s] I get three attacks.
[911.0s] Can I do like, am I like spend it in the air?
[913.3s] I can just whale on this guy midair or am I hitting somebody on my way down?
[917.4s] Yeah, like you get three per action.
[920.1s] Yeah.
[920.5s] So I imagine like you're coming in like flailing.
[924.2s] You're falling as you're going.
[925.8s] So maybe you hit the head on the first one chest and the knees on the third.
[930.2s] But yeah, like that is not nearly as good.
[934.5s] What is seven plus nine, 16, 16 will hit.
[941.6s] That is 11 more points of vicious lance damage.
[946.2s] I'm assuming it's like piercing or slashing.
[948.2s] But I mean, a lance certainly sounds like a piercing weapon.
[951.4s] Yeah, I'm just imagining lance from NSYNC.
[953.6s] Just that is who am I wielding vicious now.
[957.6s] Bye bye bye.
[961.1s] And then 24.
[963.4s] Yes.
[965.6s] Oh, yes.
[967.7s] 14 points of bye bye bye.
[971.0s] You're going to NSYNC this lance into him.
[977.5s] Sorry, continue.
[979.0s] I'm going to do another thing.
[980.4s] I'm going to mark him.
[981.9s] Unwavering mark.
[982.8s] There it is.
[983.7s] When you hit with a melee attack, I can mark the creature until the end of my next turn.
[988.2s] It has disadvantage on any attack that doesn't target me.
[992.2s] So it's the like you and me, bro.
[995.0s] You guys can't see it.
[995.8s] Kristin's got crazy eyes.
[997.2s] Yeah, such good eyes.
[999.0s] Boom, boom, boom.
[1000.5s] Falling down, crazy eyes are happening.
[1003.1s] It looks stunned in the air as it's kind of blasted back from these three hits.
[1008.3s] Matamar, who quickly, let's see if they.
[1013.0s] Realizes that he's way in over his head.
[1014.7s] He's way out of his depth.
[1017.3s] But quickly stands up, knows far and beyond that he's way out of his steps
[1023.1s] and rushes and hides in like this little alcove.
[1026.6s] It's the right thing to do.
[1027.8s] Yeah, it really is.
[1028.7s] What if he died?
[1029.5s] How bad would we feel?
[1030.3s] Roll a 24 stealth so he manages to kind of sneak through and around and away.
[1036.8s] He is rock now.
[1038.6s] Unless called upon, we'll say that he is out of rotation for now.
[1047.3s] Rocks.
[1060.9s] Who can roll for his acid?
[1064.2s] Nope.
[1065.4s] Who can he trample with his bad ass hoops?
[1068.8s] Every stupid bird brain.
[1070.2s] Got lots of lots of troglodytes, bird brains coming in.
[1073.8s] Troglodytes would probably be the easiest, easiest hit.
[1076.6s] The troglodytes are the soft clawed creatures, soft claws.
[1080.6s] All right, baby babies.
[1082.7s] Oh, that's a one.
[1088.5s] So no, he trips on a stone.
[1093.6s] He trips, kind of getting up and the troglodytes rush on top of him.
[1099.1s] Sorry, they are rushing on top of him.
[1102.6s] The brain's turn, it senses.
[1106.2s] Like you can, you can hear, again, don't understand what it's saying specifically,
[1113.3s] but you sense there's a tone shift in the in the directions that it's giving.
[1118.2s] It is more panicked and frantic.
[1121.0s] And below you, below this ice storm that it continues to get pummeled and like the lake
[1127.0s] is freezing, it blinks out of existence beneath you.
[1131.7s] Get your own thing, brain.
[1133.4s] And it is gone.
[1135.3s] If you roll arcana, you might know what it did.
[1138.8s] Sure, I'm into it.
[1139.9s] A dirty 20.
[1141.0s] You get a distinct feeling that it cast plane shift.
[1146.2s] So it has left this plane, no longer sense it or its location or its voice.
[1152.9s] Okay.
[1154.1s] You sense the voice of the mind flares who are like second in command now,
[1159.4s] who are also increasing in panic and and ferocity.
[1165.7s] And one of them is next.
[1167.3s] And it is also going to plane shift out.
[1171.1s] Glim, as the brain is gone and as the great old one's power
[1175.2s] has released you from the control of the brain over you, it is your turn.
[1179.4s] Great.
[1180.6s] Moot is still above like that pool where the brain was.
[1186.1s] Yes.
[1187.4s] Okay, but there's still a bunch of other creatures.
[1192.2s] Should we have a moment since you did just try to like whack at me?
[1196.8s] I rolled like a one and a two.
[1198.4s] I mean, realistically, do you even know that I tried to attack you?
[1203.2s] I don't know.
[1203.8s] Because it was pretty bad.
[1205.0s] Came up behind, you heard like the swing of the sword.
[1208.5s] Whoa, you tried, almost hit me.
[1214.1s] Easy does it there.
[1215.5s] But maybe.
[1216.5s] I don't know.
[1217.0s] You tell me.
[1218.5s] Do you even know that you were mind controlled?
[1222.6s] Oh, you do.
[1223.3s] Well, then I assume you'd be apologetic regardless of whether or not
[1226.5s] I knew you were trying to hit me.
[1228.5s] Oh, Sully, I'm so sorry.
[1229.7s] It was like I had my brain and I did a bad job, so I didn't hit you.
[1235.0s] But I'm so I'm so sorry.
[1237.5s] Oh, that's all right.
[1238.7s] Maybe you can make it up to me by like squishing some of these real gross things.
[1242.4s] And Sully like shakes his leg because there's like one of those little
[1247.6s] gross brain bird things beside him.
[1250.6s] I think that what I will do is what's like the biggest bad within reach of me?
[1258.4s] It's me.
[1259.1s] Two mind players up in the air will say that a goth maybe knocked one down.
[1265.4s] So it is like five feet above the ground right now.
[1268.9s] Perfect.
[1270.0s] Um, so I'm going to attack it with the vorpal longsword, but then I'm also
[1276.6s] I hit it, which hopefully I will put some some extra special divine smite on that.
[1281.5s] So he'll get a whole bunch of extra radiant damage.
[1284.7s] That is a 23.
[1287.1s] She's back.
[1288.2s] Yeah.
[1290.2s] So then 31 stabby damage.
[1295.1s] Okay, describe what it looks like when you kill this mind flayer.
[1299.3s] I feel like I really did not like having something in my brain.
[1303.9s] So I'm really going for head.
[1307.9s] So if that means a decapitation, maybe, or it could be just a real gross stab into the face.
[1316.8s] Like they've got, yeah, like big bulbous skulls and then like long octopus tentacles
[1323.1s] coming off of their like chin area.
[1325.6s] And I mean, it did have its face tentacles all over your face.
[1329.1s] I forgot about that too.
[1330.9s] I'm really having a bad day.
[1333.2s] Glim's having a rough one.
[1335.1s] So yeah, maybe just like direct stab into the face and then a pull down.
[1340.7s] Just kind of kind of flay it a little.
[1343.3s] Yeah.
[1343.7s] Yeah.
[1344.0s] You're flaying its mind.
[1345.3s] Love it.
[1346.4s] That's fun.
[1348.4s] Moot, in your mind, you sense like it get a little quieter as far as like the
[1352.8s] different voices that you're hearing as you see now Glim flay as one mind flayer.
[1358.6s] You still have two.
[1360.2s] I have one more attack.
[1362.1s] Troglodytes or...
[1363.6s] Yeah.
[1363.9s] I'll go for a Troglodyte.
[1367.1s] That's a 26.
[1368.9s] Yes.
[1370.6s] And that is 24.
[1375.3s] Describe the death.
[1377.7s] I can't even smite anything.
[1379.0s] I'm just killing them all straight up.
[1380.8s] All right.
[1382.1s] Yeah.
[1382.3s] Glim has hit upon a theme here and the theme is get out of my head
[1387.0s] or I will remove yours from you.
[1388.9s] So I think it's all just going to be head stuff today.
[1392.4s] All right.
[1392.7s] Going for heads.
[1393.5s] Just swinging around the brain down and then swinging wide.
[1398.5s] Anything you can or would like to do to finish out your turn?
[1402.3s] No, I don't think so.
[1403.9s] Oh, it feels so much better being able to do something guys.
[1408.5s] Troglodytes are going to continue to attack.
[1411.0s] They're going to try as long as there's mind flayers around.
[1413.5s] Several are going to rush you, Glim.
[1415.5s] We're going to say...
[1417.5s] Seems fair.
[1418.8s] Four are going to try and attack you.
[1421.1s] Two roll and get with their multi-attacks.
[1430.3s] 18 to hit.
[1432.8s] Yep.
[1433.5s] 18 is my AC.
[1434.4s] And then two rolled a nine.
[1436.3s] So you're going to take 21 slashing damage.
[1441.4s] One's going to come towards you, Sully.
[1444.5s] Uh, with a bite for a nine and a claw for a 22.
[1450.5s] Uncanny dodge.
[1453.5s] All right.
[1453.7s] So you just walked in and waited for someone to attack me.
[1460.0s] So you take half damage on that one then?
[1462.7s] I do believe I have the attacks damage against me.
[1467.0s] Indeed.
[1468.1s] Seven slashing damage then.
[1469.6s] Moot, you're up in the air.
[1471.4s] The Grells are going to try and come towards you.
[1475.1s] Okay.
[1477.7s] They get to make two attacks.
[1480.3s] One with tentacles and one with their beaks.
[1483.1s] There's quite a few of them.
[1484.3s] Brace yourself.
[1485.3s] I'll say four of them are coming at you.
[1487.5s] So four tentacle attacks.
[1490.1s] Okay.
[1490.3s] Ooh.
[1490.8s] So now one and a 13 and a 13 and an eight.
[1498.3s] They didn't hit with their tentacles,
[1499.5s] so they're not going to hit with their beaks.
[1501.5s] I mean, yeah, that was not great.
[1504.3s] He's like pushing them away by their faces.
[1507.1s] I just looked up a Grell and in a way,
[1510.0s] it actually is much funnier than I thought
[1511.9s] because it really looks like a testicle.
[1516.2s] Descriptions are the key.
[1517.0s] Well, now I need to Google this.
[1518.9s] It really looks more like a testicle with a beak
[1521.9s] and some tendrils than a brain.
[1526.6s] I mean, it also looks like a brain, I guess.
[1528.8s] But I don't know.
[1531.7s] Just in case you want that.
[1533.0s] Just in case you want that in your brain.
[1534.5s] Oh, yeah.
[1535.1s] Yep.
[1535.5s] Yep.
[1536.5s] It's still much more,
[1537.4s] the beak itself is much more comical
[1539.4s] than the beak that I had given it in my mind.
[1541.7s] It was much more sinister.
[1543.4s] This looks like a Muppet beak.
[1545.4s] See, that's the beautiful thing about the mind palace.
[1548.7s] The thing you're going to come up with
[1549.9s] is way worse than whatever the artist did.
[1551.5s] It was much scarier than I thought.
[1554.3s] Good, then we succeeded there.
[1556.6s] Listeners, don't go ahead and Google these.
[1558.9s] Yeah, don't look at it.
[1559.6s] Just picture something scary.
[1561.3s] Everything is panicking.
[1562.5s] There's no, there's nothing landing anywhere.
[1565.6s] Flamikins is up.
[1567.2s] Oh my God, she's still here.
[1568.9s] Stretching, feeling good.
[1571.5s] Verbal somatic, baby.
[1573.8s] She's doing lunges in the corner,
[1575.2s] just waiting for her turn.
[1580.3s] I like what you're doing, moot.
[1582.3s] Let's cast lightning bolt.
[1584.3s] Fuck yeah, bud.
[1585.7s] Everything has to make a dexterity saving throw,
[1587.7s] a stroke of lightning 100 feet long
[1589.4s] and five feet wide blasts out
[1591.4s] in a direction you choose.
[1593.1s] Each creature.
[1594.4s] Is that everybody?
[1595.9s] Well, she's not going to point it towards you.
[1598.3s] Are we scattered?
[1599.1s] It's only five feet wide.
[1600.4s] Yeah, but she's a professional.
[1602.9s] Of course she is.
[1604.0s] That's something that people say about Flamikins.
[1605.7s] If there's anything that anyone's ever said
[1607.8s] about Flamikins when describing her in one word,
[1609.9s] it is professional.
[1610.6s] Do you want her to roll 11d6
[1612.3s] and kill a whole bunch of shit or not?
[1613.9s] Hell yeah.
[1614.6s] Obviously, yes we do, Russ.
[1615.9s] But we're going to make fun at the same time.
[1617.8s] That's what we do, Russ.
[1619.4s] Fair enough.
[1620.5s] Russ has had it up to here with our shit.
[1622.3s] That's right.
[1623.5s] Hey, we got to put up with him
[1625.7s] just beating on us the whole last episode.
[1627.8s] The whole last episode, it was rough.
[1631.5s] 36.
[1633.1s] A line of these creatures,
[1635.1s] just like the lightning burns through them
[1637.5s] as the other ones on the perimeter of this scatter.
[1641.4s] So many of them drop.
[1642.7s] Yes.
[1643.3s] Question, are these troglodytes and growls,
[1647.7s] look at me using the real words,
[1649.5s] coming out of the tunnel continuously
[1652.7s] or had they all arrived?
[1654.9s] There are no new ones coming.
[1656.5s] Like the troglodytes looked like they were the ones.
[1661.1s] The growls, there were several of them that came out,
[1663.5s] but there's not like an endless stream of things
[1665.9s] coming out of this cavern.
[1667.1s] I was just wondering.
[1667.9s] Sully was going to do something cool,
[1670.7s] but so much has happened in between
[1672.5s] that has now made that impossible.
[1675.8s] You can still do cool things.
[1677.2s] Now I'm going to do something like-
[1678.4s] It's going to be mediocre, guys.
[1680.7s] Prepare yourself.
[1682.0s] I think what he's going to do
[1684.2s] is he's just going to like, I don't know,
[1688.3s] run through some of these growls
[1691.6s] or whatever is closest to him
[1693.1s] with both daggers in each hand
[1695.6s] and just whoosh.
[1696.8s] Go for it.
[1697.9s] Like that.
[1699.9s] In his right hand, he has rolled a 19.
[1703.7s] Yep.
[1704.3s] Thank God for that bonus to hit.
[1706.9s] And in his left hand, it is a 28.
[1709.8s] Also good.
[1710.7s] Nice.
[1712.7s] One D4 plus six.
[1714.5s] Not going to be a lot here.
[1716.4s] And in one hand, oh, nine damage.
[1719.8s] And in the next, seven damage.
[1723.0s] Did I get like a sneak attack or anything like that?
[1725.4s] I mean, you're around friends and stuff.
[1728.2s] I am, but my-
[1732.5s] Sneak attack gives you 10 D6.
[1734.7s] Okay.
[1735.1s] Well, I guess, you know what?
[1736.4s] I think I have like a disconnect between
[1740.3s] what I believe to be sneak attack
[1742.7s] and what it says sneak attack is.
[1745.1s] To me, if I'm in the middle of a group of things
[1748.1s] that are currently fighting,
[1749.7s] I'm not sneaky.
[1750.7s] Everybody knows I'm there.
[1752.3s] But this is just like-
[1753.4s] Well, there's where you're wrong though, Amy.
[1755.0s] Right?
[1755.5s] Like, obviously that's not what sneak attack means.
[1758.4s] If you sneak up and have advantage on something,
[1760.5s] then yes, absolutely.
[1761.5s] But there's also the caveat of
[1762.8s] if you have an ally within five feet
[1765.6s] of another creature, you also get sneak attack
[1767.6s] because their attention is split, right?
[1770.3s] Yeah, they're distracted.
[1772.6s] So you're sneaking over-
[1774.1s] Let's see Daisy.
[1774.7s] Let's roll 10 D6 and see what happens.
[1777.2s] 33.
[1779.4s] 33, all right.
[1779.9s] How about that?
[1780.5s] The growls.
[1781.9s] There's one mind flayer left.
[1783.4s] There's some growls, the voices in your head,
[1786.6s] great old one who's still giving you
[1788.3s] this boon that you have here.
[1790.3s] And then the troglodytes, which are
[1792.8s] quite, fewer in numbers than they were previously.
[1796.7s] We'll say that, but there's still several
[1799.4s] surrounding your friends down on the ground.
[1801.6s] Am I getting any like tips and tricks from my
[1805.3s] great one whispering in my ear?
[1806.8s] What kind of tips and tricks do you want?
[1808.6s] Duck.
[1808.8s] Cheat code.
[1809.2s] Slash.
[1810.1s] Up, up, down, down, back, back, back, back.
[1811.1s] I mean, is it like an up, up, down, down,
[1812.1s] left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start situation?
[1822.4s] It's the middle and I've got to sing a song by myself
[1828.8s] because we didn't record it last night
[1831.5s] because we were so tired.
[1833.8s] Hey, it's me in the middle by myself.
[1836.9s] Happy to have you here.
[1839.0s] Just curious.
[1840.4s] Have you been thinking about joining us on Patreon?
[1843.0s] We would love to have you.
[1844.4s] In fact, if we get four more patrons,
[1847.2s] we are going to reach another goal that we have going on
[1850.5s] when we reach 100 patrons.
[1852.7s] It's a huge goal for us.
[1854.7s] Love these community goals because that means
[1856.7s] we're 100 people strong in our Patreon community
[1860.2s] that are supporting us here,
[1863.1s] creating the shows that you love,
[1865.1s] including this one, Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[1867.4s] But when we reach that goal,
[1869.1s] we're going to do another improv live show
[1871.4s] exclusively for our patrons.
[1872.9s] Try and get as many people out there as we can
[1874.9s] because the bigger we make those shows,
[1876.5s] the more suggestions fly in,
[1878.0s] the more wildness happens.
[1879.9s] And we're going to wrangle some past guests of the show
[1883.3s] to see how many people we can get to come join us
[1885.6s] for a night of fun and laughs and just all out good times.
[1891.1s] So like I said, if you've been on the fence,
[1893.4s] now's a great time to help us reach the next goal
[1896.1s] to support the show that you love here
[1897.9s] with Dumbgeons and Dragons
[1899.5s] and get to partake in an exclusive live show.
[1902.3s] You get your invite automatically coming right to you.
[1906.3s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[1909.1s] We hope to see you over there.
[1910.8s] Let's get back to the episode here
[1912.9s] and see what magic is in store for everybody
[1916.2s] as they battle their way through
[1918.6s] all of these yucky, yucky monsters
[1921.5s] who comes up with these things.
[1923.4s] All right.
[1924.3s] Bye now.
[1927.1s] No, it's more like relationship
[1928.9s] with your great old one.
[1932.3s] Just a solid cheer section.
[1934.3s] That relationship's good.
[1938.0s] Good.
[1938.3s] He took my hand.
[1940.6s] He gave me some power like in marriage.
[1942.9s] Okay.
[1943.2s] After that, though, like between then and now,
[1947.1s] like what historically,
[1949.5s] because we haven't really delved into it.
[1951.5s] Like this is the first time we've actually been able
[1953.5s] in this new timeline to be like,
[1956.2s] what?
[1956.6s] What up?
[1957.4s] Great old one.
[1958.7s] Um, what normally between the last seven years
[1963.8s] or whatever it's been,
[1965.4s] have they done for you?
[1967.0s] Well, the ability to use magic on an ongoing basis,
[1972.3s] pretty big one for moot
[1974.4s] and really gives a leg up
[1975.8s] over like a lot of other situations
[1977.6s] because there's not a lot of people out in the world
[1979.3s] over those last years that have that access.
[1982.0s] All right.
[1982.3s] So he's actually been pretty stoked with his deal.
[1985.3s] I've got such some questions though
[1987.0s] about your great old ones.
[1988.7s] Are they gods?
[1990.3s] Are they immune to the goings on of what's happening?
[1993.4s] We can't answer these questions right now.
[1994.7s] We can answer these questions in the downtime.
[1996.2s] Okay.
[1996.5s] I'm sorry.
[1997.1s] Oh, all right.
[1998.5s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[2000.7s] If you want to get the downtime that we do
[2002.7s] after the episode and like chit chat
[2004.5s] about like what we learned on our character sheets,
[2007.2s] what great old ones are, you know,
[2008.7s] cool stuff like that.
[2009.3s] I'm going to have to go sign up
[2010.2s] for our own Patreon apparently to gain access to.
[2013.1s] Well, I was thinking like here like if he's like,
[2018.3s] you know, if there's an obvious game plan
[2019.9s] of like we should kill the last mind flayer
[2021.9s] and the rest of this will dissolve quickly,
[2023.5s] like maybe he's whispering that in my ear
[2025.9s] or maybe he's just like, yes,
[2027.5s] wreak havoc upon everyone.
[2029.5s] No, probably more the second,
[2031.5s] like the vibe you're getting.
[2032.8s] Like they have their own kind of vibe and motivations
[2038.6s] and while you are a pawn in that,
[2044.3s] they don't really care too much if anybody lives or dies
[2050.2s] so long as you succeed in what you're doing.
[2054.0s] Okay.
[2054.5s] So kill everything.
[2055.7s] Yeah.
[2055.9s] I mean, let's do that.
[2057.5s] I will.
[2058.3s] Okay.
[2059.0s] In that case, I will cast Eldrick Blast again.
[2061.9s] Okay.
[2062.2s] And I'll focus three of them on the mind flayer
[2064.9s] and then one on, I don't know, Grel.
[2069.3s] This really blasts the shit out of this crew.
[2071.7s] Hey, Larry, Larry, listen up.
[2076.0s] Grel with the limp.
[2077.3s] Get out of here.
[2081.1s] Okay.
[2081.6s] Give me some rolls.
[2083.6s] All right.
[2084.8s] First one's a 27.
[2086.3s] Second one's a 26.
[2087.8s] Third one is a 17 and fourth one's a 27.
[2091.6s] All will hit.
[2093.1s] Jesus.
[2094.0s] Regardless of which ones are being hit.
[2096.6s] Perfect.
[2097.4s] All right.
[2097.7s] I'll roll some D10s here.
[2100.3s] Give me, based on your wild magic connection state right now,
[2107.1s] just give me max damage.
[2109.4s] Oh, well, okay.
[2110.9s] Then the mind flayer takes 30 force damage
[2113.3s] and the Grel takes 10 force damage.
[2116.2s] All right.
[2117.1s] Maybe describe the death of the mind flayer and the grip.
[2123.1s] It's not great
[2124.9s] because the balls of energy keep slamming him into the wall
[2132.2s] and eventually he just kind of like gufies
[2135.5s] under the third and final one.
[2136.9s] And then it's like a real slow slide down the wall.
[2140.3s] Gross.
[2141.2s] That was disgusting.
[2142.4s] It was fantastic.
[2143.5s] It was disgusting.
[2144.3s] Well, there's just a lot going on right now.
[2146.8s] I might have been overkill, but you know what?
[2148.7s] Let's just do it.
[2149.4s] Let's do it.
[2150.2s] Let's have a little fun.
[2151.0s] Okay.
[2151.2s] There are many, many creepy...
[2152.7s] Sully looks worriedly over at Glim.
[2156.3s] Like, oh, I don't know how to process that.
[2162.7s] Okay.
[2163.1s] So there are no more mind flayers.
[2164.6s] There's no more brain.
[2165.5s] There are troglodytes that are attacking.
[2170.3s] Some confusion enters their kind of scape
[2174.3s] as the last mind flayer dies
[2177.0s] and the Grel's are there too.
[2179.2s] Let's go one more round around, starting with a goth.
[2184.4s] Describe the scene and what cool thing
[2188.5s] that could lean into the next individual.
[2191.9s] Feel free to work together
[2193.2s] and describe cool, awesome shit that's happening
[2195.5s] if you need an assist on anything.
[2197.6s] Let's just be really awesome
[2200.2s] killing all these troglodytes
[2201.3s] because they're low levels and they won't kill you.
[2203.5s] What kind of weapon do you have?
[2205.4s] Because Sully could toss you a few Grel.
[2210.2s] You could play some baseball.
[2212.4s] Yeah, yeah.
[2213.1s] Or we could do some skeet shooting.
[2218.7s] What kind of weapon do you have?
[2219.7s] Because I think a goth would want to go
[2223.1s] get these troglodytes off racks, right?
[2225.7s] Because he was kind of being swarmed.
[2228.5s] So I don't know if she can
[2232.1s] whack some of them up in the air
[2233.7s] if anybody has some spell action perhaps.
[2239.1s] I just got a short bow.
[2240.6s] Okay, sweet.
[2242.0s] Target practice?
[2243.1s] Yeah, target practice time.
[2243.8s] Mood's got spells.
[2244.7s] Karla or Glim's got spells.
[2246.7s] Everybody.
[2247.4s] It's just a fun game that we're going to be playing now
[2250.6s] inside the game we're already playing.
[2253.4s] I'm going to run over and grab the mace
[2258.7s] and just batter up,
[2261.3s] start whacking them off into the air off of racks.
[2265.7s] And I think imagine as there's fewer laying them down,
[2271.5s] he can sort of assist as well
[2272.9s] and bucking them up into the sky.
[2275.6s] What if I cast Moonbeam
[2277.2s] and then you hit them into the Moonbeam
[2279.0s] and then they just went in radiant damage
[2282.3s] as they enter the area?
[2284.7s] I love this.
[2285.4s] Little like a firework show.
[2288.9s] Sully's just yelling things like
[2290.5s] Paul, because, you know.
[2295.1s] Not doing anything after that.
[2296.2s] No, no, because I mean the Moonbeam's there
[2298.3s] so he's not going to waste arrows on this business.
[2301.1s] He's just showing encouragement.
[2303.1s] Awesome.
[2303.8s] Yeah, Troglodytes and Grel are flying through this Moonbeam.
[2307.2s] Moot, what do you, what kind of, you got a jazzed vibe.
[2311.6s] What are you doing?
[2312.3s] Yeah.
[2314.2s] Okay, let's look through this spell list again
[2315.9s] and find something fun.
[2317.9s] Hang on.
[2319.3s] I love and I'm scared of this version of Moot
[2322.3s] and I am here for it.
[2324.3s] This is a bloodthirsty mood.
[2326.0s] Okay.
[2326.4s] Let's have some fun.
[2327.7s] Like the fuck is wrong with this guy?
[2329.9s] Yes.
[2331.2s] Yes.
[2334.3s] Okay.
[2336.5s] Got a little spell here called Sickening Radiance.
[2340.8s] Oh, yeah.
[2341.2s] If we're working with some radiant damage
[2343.8s] over on one end,
[2345.1s] well, we'll put some radiant light on another.
[2348.5s] As well.
[2349.4s] Light this place up.
[2350.5s] So dim greenish light spreads within a 30-foot radius sphere
[2355.2s] centered on a point I choose,
[2356.4s] which I'll put like right next to the Moonbeam.
[2359.2s] Catch any stragglers?
[2360.8s] Yeah.
[2361.6s] Yeah, you can't always be accurate on all of them.
[2365.8s] When a creature moves into the spell's area
[2367.8s] for the first time or starts its turn there,
[2370.5s] that creature must succeed on a con saving throw
[2373.0s] or take 4d10 radiant damage,
[2375.9s] suffer one level of exhaustion,
[2377.6s] and emit a dim greenish light in a 5-foot radius.
[2381.3s] It just happens.
[2382.8s] Everything that as these creatures are being batted around
[2387.6s] and the Sickening Radiance is being spread around,
[2392.4s] they begin to try and flee as they're being caught up in it.
[2396.3s] So he's trying to catch the ones that are trying to get away
[2398.3s] and like throw them into the Moonbeam or the Sickening Sphere.
[2403.5s] I don't think it works that well.
[2404.7s] I think he's like grabbing tentacles because it's probably similar size to him.
[2414.3s] He's just kind of like grappling off to the side.
[2416.6s] You guys are doing cool shit.
[2417.9s] He's like, get over here, you fucking bud.
[2420.2s] Brain stupid.
[2422.0s] Hey, Charlie, toss one over here.
[2424.6s] Toss it.
[2425.1s] I can barely.
[2427.3s] Chaos bolt flies towards you.
[2428.8s] It explodes in your face.
[2430.0s] There's brain goop all over you.
[2431.6s] Ah, that warning would have been nice.
[2434.2s] Thank you so much.
[2434.9s] I gave you the warning.
[2436.0s] I said toss them over here.
[2437.5s] You weren't throwing them.
[2438.4s] That's not a warning.
[2438.9s] That's a direction.
[2442.2s] As the scene fades down,
[2445.8s] you're covered in the death of all of these creatures.
[2451.6s] You settle yourselves, moot you,
[2453.6s] kind of the sound in your head lightens.
[2457.2s] It's not gone, but it's kind of just in the back there.
[2461.5s] As you bring yourself down
[2462.8s] and you have a moment now to collectively breathe,
[2466.4s] you all recollect yourselves
[2468.7s] and you notice the further tunnel
[2473.7s] where the grells were seen coming in.
[2475.6s] You see Matamar moving off too.
[2478.8s] He has snuck off
[2480.2s] and you see him just kind of disappear down that cape.
[2483.2s] Do we all have that moment
[2484.4s] where we look at each other and laugh?
[2486.2s] Because we all just almost die.
[2488.5s] But there's like nothing else you can do, right?
[2493.3s] But moves laughing like a little too much.
[2495.7s] Yeah.
[2497.3s] Sounds a little manic.
[2499.4s] We should follow Matamar.
[2500.4s] He's just going.
[2501.2s] Right?
[2502.5s] And it's so humid in here.
[2503.8s] You guys look at my hair.
[2505.5s] I wasn't going to say anything, but that's nuts.
[2509.0s] That moonbeam didn't scare things off.
[2510.8s] That dew would have.
[2512.9s] You begin to move further back
[2514.6s] and you hear like the sliding sound
[2522.3s] of the black ichor that you walk through to get in here.
[2526.2s] You see it falling and sliding down to the ground
[2529.6s] and dispersing like within the pool.
[2531.8s] And you see light coming in from outside of this cave
[2535.4s] as you're moving back to follow Matamar.
[2538.0s] You go down this tunnel and it winds around for a little bit.
[2543.2s] You're calling out to Matamar as you enter into this new area,
[2549.0s] this new cavern and there are these alcoves
[2555.6s] where there are our bodies lined up in.
[2560.8s] And you see Matamar like at the center of this room
[2564.6s] there is this, for lack of a better term,
[2567.4s] what looks like a large bird bath.
[2568.8s] This thing's really bird centric.
[2570.3s] Right, but within it is a very similar substance
[2575.6s] to what the pool was made out of,
[2577.1s] this kind of suspension fluid.
[2578.9s] And in this suspension fluid are these large tadpole-like creatures
[2583.8s] like with long tails.
[2586.8s] And he's looking into this and has this glazed over look to him.
[2593.3s] Hey, Matamar.
[2596.2s] Hey, Matamar.
[2599.6s] Buddy.
[2600.4s] Snaps out.
[2602.0s] Yeah, yeah.
[2604.2s] You okay?
[2604.8s] There was a lot of gore back there
[2606.4s] and you seemed really scared.
[2607.6s] You disappeared for a little bit.
[2609.1s] Great job at hiding.
[2610.7s] But then you just kind of took off without saying anything.
[2613.0s] I mean, we did laugh for a really long time back there.
[2615.4s] Some of us more than others, but...
[2617.7s] No, I heard you.
[2618.5s] I just felt compelled to come back here.
[2623.6s] I don't know why.
[2625.3s] That's not good.
[2626.0s] You look around to the...
[2628.3s] They're all similar creatures.
[2630.4s] Some are more human.
[2633.2s] Some are mostly what a Matamar appears to be.
[2638.3s] And a lot of them appear to be in this stasis state.
[2642.4s] They're not awake.
[2645.0s] They are...
[2646.7s] Are they in vats?
[2648.8s] Are they just standing there?
[2650.5s] No, they're standing up,
[2652.6s] but there's this substance that seems to be binding them to the wall.
[2659.6s] Kakuni?
[2660.4s] Kakuni-esque.
[2661.6s] Yep.
[2662.3s] The more you go around,
[2664.2s] some of them appear to have giant holes in their head.
[2670.5s] Oh, Buddy, don't look too closely at some of these guys.
[2673.8s] They look like they may be your friends.
[2676.0s] Or they were your friends.
[2677.2s] No, I see that.
[2678.8s] Don't look.
[2679.4s] He said don't.
[2680.5s] I was here before you.
[2681.6s] I saw...
[2682.4s] And then...
[2685.3s] These things in this pool...
[2688.5s] I remember now.
[2689.6s] I remember they put them in...
[2691.8s] If you walk through and then you'd...
[2694.8s] They put them in your head.
[2697.9s] Excuse me?
[2700.0s] Who say?
[2701.6s] Those things with the tentacles off their face.
[2708.4s] That's where my friends went.
[2710.4s] That's where I went.
[2713.5s] So you...
[2714.5s] You have...
[2715.2s] Do you have one of these in your...
[2717.0s] Inside your head right now?
[2718.7s] I think so.
[2723.2s] So you're like incubating like a frog or something?
[2729.7s] I don't think they're frogs.
[2730.8s] I think they're more of them.
[2733.6s] These little guys are those tentacle bearded bastards?
[2737.2s] Once they come out...
[2739.1s] I wonder...
[2739.8s] Can you be healed of this?
[2742.9s] Maybe not healed right now.
[2745.2s] Obviously you're okay for the moment.
[2748.4s] These ones seem not to be okay
[2750.7s] because some of them have the holes in the heads
[2752.9s] and that seems like they've hatched, right?
[2756.4s] One of these tadpole looking creatures
[2760.5s] trying to climb up and out.
[2764.2s] I'm going to mace it.
[2764.7s] Like falls to the ground.
[2766.1s] Yes, I was going to say.
[2767.2s] My higher breath recharges and I take my staff.
[2771.2s] Yeah, no, that thing is getting squashed.
[2772.9s] There's like four of us.
[2774.0s] Four of us just all of a sudden are like,
[2776.0s] oh God, and then start hitting it.
[2778.0s] And Rex is like stomp, stomp, stomp.
[2781.3s] Wow.
[2784.4s] That was not an overreaction.
[2787.2s] I don't know if you can be healed.
[2789.7s] Well, I mean if anybody knows Bahamut probably knows,
[2793.1s] so like we're maybe just like,
[2796.8s] you know, we're going to ask him
[2798.3s] like share some big information,
[2799.8s] but maybe he could just do like one other little thing.
[2803.5s] Maybe this can't be okay for the people,
[2808.2s] the gods who live here in Celestia, right?
[2811.2s] You can come be like some evidence for us
[2814.6s] of the bad thing that's happening.
[2817.2s] I'm going to take Madame Mars hand and.
[2822.7s] Crush his skull.
[2826.6s] You see like a guy kind of grits her teeth a little bit
[2829.8s] and she's going to try and cast lesser restoration on him
[2833.1s] and see if that does anything.
[2838.3s] Tell me what lesser restoration can heal.
[2841.0s] I mean, I'm thinking it's probably not high enough level,
[2843.5s] but she's going to try.
[2844.4s] It says you touch a creature
[2845.7s] and can end either one disease or one condition affecting it.
[2849.5s] Condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed or poisoned.
[2852.8s] Is not necessarily that so you can definitely use it,
[2857.7s] but yeah, like there's a radiant glow
[2861.6s] that moves from you to him
[2863.8s] and I don't know if it did anything.
[2871.1s] It was worth an attempt,
[2873.5s] but this is beyond my abilities.
[2877.4s] I am much more adept at the crushing side of things these days.
[2883.6s] Oh, oh, what if we lure it out like a tapeworm?
[2888.1s] What if we try to find someone more adept?
[2894.2s] Okay, I guess that's true.
[2895.9s] I don't want to be cruel or anything though,
[2897.7s] but it seems like there's a bigger problem than just Madame Mars.
[2900.6s] No offense, Madame Mars.
[2902.7s] No, that's fine.
[2903.9s] Because I mean, they're just going to keep taking your people
[2905.8s] to incubate the weird bits, right?
[2908.8s] Well, are there any more of them other than he looks around at the 12 bodies?
[2919.1s] Oh, we should probably kill all these people.
[2921.5s] Yeah, I mean not even kill
[2923.0s] because they're definitely already dead and gone.
[2926.0s] So they are no longer your friends and loved ones
[2928.0s] and we're just going to really quickly just maybe take care of.
[2931.5s] I'm going to maybe you should just go back down the tunnel.
[2937.6s] He walks out and you see him kind of just put his hands in his ears.
[2942.6s] This is the worst timeline ever.
[2948.5s] We cut ahead as you're being led out of the cavern that you are in
[2956.4s] and you pass by various pictograms on the walls showing images
[2963.6s] that look very similar to the mind flares coming up
[2967.8s] from what looks like some under dark region
[2974.0s] with a figure hovering around and above them.
[2979.2s] It looks very reminiscent.
[2981.5s] That looks very reminiscent of Orcus.
[2985.4s] And his goat like hideous face.
[2989.9s] And these figures are depicted as rising to these other worldly God like planes
[2997.4s] with what can be determined as hatcheries
[3002.3s] being created or implanted in these worlds
[3008.5s] with a final image or goal of them working alongside
[3013.6s] an undead army.
[3017.6s] It leads you out of the cavern.
[3021.6s] You are on a hill that overlooks the forest where you came from.
[3027.2s] You've moved beyond whatever or broken whatever void that you were trapped in
[3033.7s] from this elder brain or these mind flares or whatever power that was trapping you
[3040.8s] was trapping you within this loop.
[3045.6s] And you see the mountain before you a little bit closer than it was before.
[3053.9s] And Matamar sullen and broken leads you down and towards Mount Celestia.
