1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:16,320
And there's chanting all around. You see this, this figure enter this arena and it is this muscular humanoid body with like the, it never skips leg day.

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,160
Something about tongue plucked raw. I'm going to tell you anyways.

4
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,839
Hold on a second. How do you know?

5
00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:24,080
Well because I can speak their language.

6
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,560
Oh, all hands on deck. Let's huddle up.

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,760
Grancis is in there.

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:37,200
Thea's trying really hard not to look shocked. Like she totally remembered dense was here and was like, you want to, are you want to, are you sure you want to come?

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Now I need to get my boot.

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:51,280
What I'm really hoping is that this maybe is the last straw for his like crowd of admirers because he's just getting like worked over by this little gnome.

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,439
There's Ickers spraying everywhere. You're going feral on top of them.

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:09,439
And they all begin to lift out of the Coliseum and just kind of move slowly away, leaving him to perish in the middle of this chamber.

13
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:19,040
Okay. Well, you seem to be back up. I guess we should probably go find the boat. Everybody looks like they left. Maybe they're going to go try and vote in a new Pazuzu.

14
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:31,680
And dense pulls the boat up to this ramshackled town at the base of this cliff, a distance away from this palace.

15
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:41,280
A little huddle up again. He casts heroism at the sixth level when everyone puts their hand in.

16
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:51,920
So on your travels, you gain an extra four hit points. It's only only up to one minute, but get an extra.

17
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,920
You don't know when I'm going to stub my toe.

18
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,120
It's the thought that counts.

19
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,960
Oh, no, you you gain four hit points and you're immune from being frightened.

20
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,920
So relevant.

21
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,760
So it's scary out there for a minute and I'm going off.

22
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,879
Dense is on his way.

23
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. I'm your dungeon master, Russ More. He, him also with me today is Tom Laird.

24
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,800
Yeah, that's me. He, him. I'm playing Flint Firebeard, who also goes by he, him and Amy More.

25
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,879
I'm sorry. Does Flint go by he, him as just another name?

26
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,040
I mean, he can.

27
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,560
That's just how my ears heard it.

28
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,080
Like, yeah, I'd be like, here's my friend Flint.

29
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,759
If you're like, yeah, buddy, yeah, that's me.

30
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:43,759
Oh, it's like that guy.

31
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:44,240
Yeah, yeah.

32
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:46,159
Like you respond to you.

33
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:50,960
Who doesn't respond to you is Thea Amastasia.

34
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,599
She, her and also Nighthunter.

35
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:55,360
She, they.

36
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,960
And Karla Maxted.

37
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,599
She, her playing Lipsinki Pipdiggins.

38
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:01,840
Also, she, her.

39
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,199
And Kyle Clasett.

40
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Hey, hey, he, him. Gonna be playing Vorunax. Also, he, him.

41
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,000
It's been so long since we've recorded.

42
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,080
For you, listener, it's been but mere seven days.

43
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,760
For us, it feels like it's been an eternity because summer.

44
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,320
But we're happy to be back in this darkest.

45
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,080
Just right outside the gates. We're so happy to be back.

46
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Darkest before the dawn.

47
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,280
Yeah, that's right.

48
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,960
You know, usually you ease back in with like a little fun thing.

49
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,880
We're like, nah, the gates to the, to Orcus' lair.

50
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,520
That's, that's where we're, we're very near to.

51
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,720
And where you can sign up to also be at the gates to something more fun.

52
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,880
Oh, yes. Turn it around.

53
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,200
Right now, you're just outside the gates.

54
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,840
But if you go to Patreon.com slash Dumb Dragon Cast,

55
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,760
then you can enter the gates of fun and joy

56
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:03,919
and a whole bunch of extra cool stuff.

57
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:05,519
We've got it all for you there.

58
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:08,239
Including a game that we haven't played in even longer.

59
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:10,239
The Adventures Of that Tom runs.

60
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:14,000
I frantically checked the calendar on my phone while we were on this call

61
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,439
to make sure that I wasn't like DMing next week.

62
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,159
The good news, I'm not. It's fine.

63
00:04:20,719 --> 00:04:23,599
Like I had a mini, mini little panic attack.

64
00:04:23,599 --> 00:04:30,079
No, it's another fun thing we do for patrons where we do a hangout once a month.

65
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:31,599
And that's coming up.

66
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,320
So, you know, extra episodes, extra hanging out, a book club.

67
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,040
So many great things.

68
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,360
What else?

69
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,320
There's so much more.

70
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,040
Or destruction.

71
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:41,520
No torture.

72
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,560
Things like that.

73
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,720
All things that are simple.

74
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,720
Yeah, people are super nice.

75
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,560
And you get an episode dedicated to you.

76
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,600
Like today's patron, Kayla Littlejohn.

77
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,400
Hey, thank you.

78
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,960
We recently got to play a game with Kayla,

79
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,280
which this probably doesn't come out till January.

80
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,800
So that was a while ago.

81
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,520
It was recently, like in our timeline.

82
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,840
Also, I hope it's not the episode where we all die.

83
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,000
There's been a lot of close calls.

84
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,520
So this one could be yours.

85
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,040
We had a good time just rowing around in the boat so we could all rest up.

86
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,120
So I think we're all feeling good, right?

87
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,040
Not this one.

88
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,160
It's the next one.

89
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,600
It's the next one.

90
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,480
Don't worry, Kayla.

91
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:27,680
Yes.

92
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:28,800
Oh, no.

93
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,160
I hate the face Kyle's making.

94
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,600
It's very frightening.

95
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,720
What'd I do?

96
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,560
The glare's blocking my eyes.

97
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,480
You can't see my shifty eyes.

98
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,800
It's almost true, but not quite.

99
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,879
I can still tell.

100
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:47,040
Good.

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,600
Well, fuck it.

102
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,080
Let's play.

103
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:50,720
Welcome to the abyss.

104
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,080
You step off of Dense's boat.

105
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:58,319
Off of the River Six.

106
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:05,120
There were these skeletal arms that came and created this gangplank

107
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,000
that went into this small shanty town is probably the best way

108
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,319
that we could describe what you see before you.

109
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:22,000
And immediately before you is a concierge of sorts.

110
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,319
Oh, it's a guy with a clipboard, isn't it?

111
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:25,759
It's a guy with a clipboard.

112
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:27,600
At every frickin' part.

113
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,400
Every single one.

114
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,320
He's got the big hood on and he's looking at his clipboard

115
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,040
and I can't remember the voice we used for him

116
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,720
because obviously it's the same person.

117
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:40,400
So we'll go with this one.

118
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,960
And you're, oh yeah, he's Irish too, obviously.

119
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,240
Everybody's fucking Irish.

120
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,040
That's my default.

121
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,320
God damn it.

122
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:54,000
Yeah, it's Thea and crew.

123
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:56,720
That's what we wrote down.

124
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,680
Hold on a second.

125
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,360
Did we give our real names?

126
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,280
Well, you did.

127
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:02,160
I did?

128
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,120
Pretty sure you did.

129
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Everybody else was like, no, don't do that.

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,720
And then you were like, I'm Thea.

131
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Thea, I'm Astasia.

132
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,840
What aren't we doing, guys?

133
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Well, yes, that's us then.

134
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Oh, great.

135
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,720
That's us.

136
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,920
Good to see you all.

137
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:20,800
How was the ride?

138
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,680
Very smooth.

139
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Properly treacherous.

140
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,080
Good.

141
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:30,319
Yes, that's actually, oh yeah, horrifying in some cases.

142
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:31,199
Delightfully so.

143
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:35,039
And if you were to give dense a rating out of five stars,

144
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:35,919
what would you give?

145
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:38,240
Oh, six?

146
00:07:40,159 --> 00:07:41,199
Can we give a six?

147
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:47,279
He was so helpful and kind and just really went above and beyond.

148
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,199
Wow, all right.

149
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:51,680
Writing all of this down, it's going on his report.

150
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,959
And he should probably get a promotion because of it.

151
00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:57,519
I hope so.

152
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,680
So it's very good that you're truthful and honest

153
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,600
about all of your responses here.

154
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,960
All right, well, welcome to Naratir.

155
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,360
This is your entry point.

156
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,519
As you can see, there's some undead and some rickety shacks.

157
00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:19,040
If you need a place to stay before you go wandering about,

158
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,960
don't mind the flesh hills.

159
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,360
You get used to them.

160
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,480
The flesh hills?

161
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,400
Yeah, if you look down at your feet there, sir,

162
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,720
there's hills of flesh, mounds, if you will.

163
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:36,159
As you get up and into the mausoleum,

164
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,159
and if you venture into the castle,

165
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:42,399
you'll find that the carpets are woven of human hair.

166
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:45,440
Feels really good between scaled toes.

167
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Is it like we are standing on real people?

168
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,480
Is it?

169
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,600
Oh, bits and pieces.

170
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Naratir starts to poke, poke, poke, poke.

171
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,600
Can they feel this?

172
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Is this?

173
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

174
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Not only do they feel it,

175
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,800
but every person they're connected to,

176
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,120
it's like a hive skin.

177
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,520
So they all feel it.

178
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,560
Oh, is that kind of like that feeling of like,

179
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,280
when you feel someone walk over your grave,

180
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,280
you know, when you get that shiver situation?

181
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:21,039
There is somewhere here being like someone's poking my skin hide.

182
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,279
That looks like an anus

183
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:25,120
that you've got your finger near right there.

184
00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:28,319
I will not put finger in that.

185
00:09:28,319 --> 00:09:30,720
No, I didn't say you should.

186
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,240
I just said where you were pointing.

187
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,559
So just to watch out, that's what that looks like.

188
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,839
They are like geysers.

189
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:41,679
Yep.

190
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,639
All right, moving on.

191
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:43,839
That is facts.

192
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:44,319
Yes.

193
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,280
You've come to the worst place in the world.

194
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,840
In the known planes and realms,

195
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,280
this is the tour you get.

196
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,280
It's probably better than the Bahama tour

197
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,080
that they're getting in the other group.

198
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,560
Well, maybe we'll have to do that one next time, right?

199
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:01,840
Yeah, we'll make it out of here

200
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,520
and we'll sign up for that one

201
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,080
and see how delightfully disastrous that one is.

202
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,000
And are you here for work or business?

203
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,320
That's the same thing, right?

204
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,000
I think those are the...

205
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,000
Not necessarily.

206
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Work is you having to do something.

207
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,680
Business is with the anus.

208
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:24,000
Is, well, some call it pleasure,

209
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,360
some call it business.

210
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,640
We've just slumped them together.

211
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,480
It's like it is getting busy.

212
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,640
It could be, yes.

213
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,760
It's busyness.

214
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Like it's business time.

215
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,520
Yes, it's time for business.

216
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,020
Okay.

217
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:38,580
Both.

218
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,720
Excellent, excellent.

219
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,560
And how long do you anticipate staying?

220
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:44,480
As long as it takes.

221
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:48,560
Well, this is where we've ended up.

222
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:49,120
So this is...

223
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,480
Your shanty is over here.

224
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:55,840
I will escort you these 15 feet.

225
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,200
You can stay here for as long as you need.

226
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,720
It seems you're ready to do your business, though.

227
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,360
Well, work first, then business.

228
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Work, then business.

229
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:06,960
And then maybe a little more work.

230
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:07,759
What is it you do?

231
00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:08,259
Work?

232
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:13,039
Bring the everlasting glory of Orcus upon the realms.

233
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:13,439
Of course.

234
00:11:13,439 --> 00:11:14,480
You looked familiar.

235
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,120
Yes, yes.

236
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,919
A little bit of a change recently, you know.

237
00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:20,319
But I think I'm liking it.

238
00:11:20,319 --> 00:11:22,080
Yeah, that's what caught me off guard.

239
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,200
Different tone you got going on there.

240
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:26,720
Interesting.

241
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,120
All right.

242
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,840
Well, I've got to go back and stand here by the boat,

243
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,159
where the boats come in.

244
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,679
If you need anything,

245
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,279
feel free to just give me a holler.

246
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
And what, uh, whose name?

247
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,439
What name would we holler?

248
00:11:40,319 --> 00:11:40,639
Anne.

249
00:11:42,639 --> 00:11:43,360
Anne.

250
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,879
Anne of Green Gables.

251
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:46,799
Anne of Green Gables.

252
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:50,159
It's all one word, of Green Gables,

253
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:52,240
so there's no copyright infringement.

254
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,039
Anne of Green Gables.

255
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:54,000
Anne of Green Gables.

256
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,600
Anne of Green Gables, yes.

257
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,159
My friends just call me Anne, though,

258
00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:00,240
so feel free to just call me Anne.

259
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,199
We'll do Anne, though.

260
00:12:01,199 --> 00:12:02,799
Oh, well, that's nice.

261
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:03,600
Okay, um...

262
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,759
Well, enjoy your afternoon, evening, morning.

263
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:10,639
What time is it?

264
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:11,039
It's so dark.

265
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:11,919
Time is irrelevant.

266
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:14,799
It's a construct made up in the material plane.

267
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,759
Down here, it's just pain and suffering,

268
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:19,279
so prepare yourself.

269
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:21,120
That's why I said as long as it takes.

270
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:22,079
So...

271
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:23,279
Of course, of course, of course.

272
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:24,720
It's because we know, we knows.

273
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,439
Knows, right?

274
00:12:25,439 --> 00:12:26,319
Right, Anne?

275
00:12:26,319 --> 00:12:26,799
Anne of...

276
00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:27,360
Knows.

277
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:27,600
Anne.

278
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:28,559
Anne.

279
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:31,519
Anne, though, of Anne of Green Gables.

280
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:33,199
Anne, though, of Green Gables.

281
00:12:33,199 --> 00:12:34,399
Yeah, Anne of Green Gables.

282
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:36,639
Well, enough of this.

283
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:38,159
Anne, though, of Green Gables,

284
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:40,319
walks back to the boardwalk

285
00:12:40,319 --> 00:12:43,199
and leaves you in this town

286
00:12:43,199 --> 00:12:44,159
that is basically...

287
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Ghost town would be putting it nicely.

288
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:48,480
It is...

289
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,199
Yeah, it is completely falling apart.

290
00:12:53,199 --> 00:12:56,399
There are undead now shambling towards you.

291
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,240
So, Russ, is it...

292
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,879
Like, denizens of the abyss live in the shanty town,

293
00:13:06,879 --> 00:13:10,720
or it's like the unlucky workers,

294
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,120
this is like the worst place for them to be,

295
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:16,320
or just like random undead?

296
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,600
Just random undead.

297
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,159
Okay.

298
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:20,159
And, yeah, and as you...

299
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:20,799
And us.

300
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:23,680
As you are just trying to figure out

301
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,799
if there's anybody living at all in this area,

302
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:28,560
right beside you,

303
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,640
there is this huge pop and sucking sound,

304
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,200
and out of the earth,

305
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:43,360
this creature is being thrust out of the ground,

306
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,440
and it looks like this sort of...

307
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760
You could say it's got this bison kind of look to it,

308
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,800
but as it breaks free from this embryonic sack,

309
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,800
goo and ick are spurts everywhere,

310
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,320
make a dexterity saving throw.

311
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,040
I don't have a dice.

312
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,400
I mean, will I get covered in icker again?

313
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:04,960
We will see.

314
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:07,060
23.

315
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:08,480
7.

316
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,440
Also a 7.

317
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,080
19.

318
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,240
7 also for 9.

319
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,480
Night Hunter and Thea and Lipsynche

320
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,280
are all covered in this embryonic fluid

321
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,680
of this bison,

322
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,960
and as it starts kicking like a baby bison,

323
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,920
only it's full grown,

324
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,320
you see that its skin is sloughing off,

325
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,000
and it has this weird upside down twisted skeletal head,

326
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,920
and it charges towards you.

327
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Roll for initiative.

328
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,000
God, I hate the shantytown buffalo.

329
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,680
I'm 14 for Night Hunter.

330
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,200
21 for Lipsynche.

331
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:49,760
11.

332
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,760
That's a 13.

333
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,120
8 for Thea.

334
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,880
And Grancis.

335
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,120
Nat, 20, baby.

336
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,320
Oh, damn.

337
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,280
We're gonna waste it.

338
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,080
What a waste.

339
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,920
Well, he's just gonna read his book for a while.

340
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,720
What a fucking Grancis move.

341
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:05,200
Jesus.

342
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,600
And the thingamjig.

343
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,360
I guess we should have a little more sympathy for Grancis.

344
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,880
This is like the place of his crazy.

345
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,560
Must be very traumatizing for him.

346
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,060
Yeah.

347
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,680
I mean, that's what Carla says.

348
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,720
Lipsynche, I'm not sure how she feels about it

349
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,600
or if she does, but.

350
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:43,920
It is Grancis' turn first as he steps away from the boardwalk,

351
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,520
where he too was talking to Anne of Green Gables.

352
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,200
And he's like, oh, what's going on, everybody?

353
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,600
Oh, Jesus, what is happening?

354
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:55,279
I rode one of those once.

355
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:56,000
It killed me.

356
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,000
But let's see what I got here.

357
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,519
I actually finished reading my book,

358
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,120
so I prepared some things.

359
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:01,840
Let's go.

360
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Poison spray.

361
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,920
It casts poison spray at it.

362
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,840
It has to make a constitution saving throw,

363
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,879
which it does not make.

364
00:16:08,879 --> 00:16:11,600
So it takes 4d12 poison damage.

365
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,399
Ooh, la, la.

366
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:14,259
6.

367
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:16,980
6.

368
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,180
12.

369
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:19,139
13.

370
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:21,600
15.

371
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,080
It takes 15 poison damage.

372
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,519
13 plus 4 is 17.

373
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,519
17 poison damage.

374
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:30,080
I concur.

375
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,120
It's OK.

376
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:33,279
Lipsynche, it's your turn.

377
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:38,480
I'm probably going to do some primal savagery.

378
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,120
So my teeth and fingernails get sharp,

379
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,360
and I deliver a poisonous, vicious, scraping attack

380
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,440
on this very gross creature that's covered

381
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,800
in amniotic fluid and vigor.

382
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,300
Gross.

383
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:54,560
It's cool.

384
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,080
Yeah, it's disgust.

385
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,720
Yeah.

386
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,440
It's just bad.

387
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,480
So that is a 21.

388
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,120
21 will hit.

389
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,960
Great.

390
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,640
Then I will do 4.

391
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,680
Nope, that's a d8.

392
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:23,360
4d10 damage, which is 12, 20, 25 poison damage.

393
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,560
So poison spray goes out, and slashing happens.

394
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,360
And then it rears up.

395
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:38,000
As far as an undead creature looks,

396
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,960
it looks confused because it's just been birthed into this world.

397
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,759
And then it's charging towards these people.

398
00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:44,880
It immediately picked a fight.

399
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,279
Immediately picked a fight because it's chaos.

400
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,480
And it's going to charge at Lipsynche and Grancis.

401
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,400
Lipsynche for a 21, and Grancis for an 18, which hits him.

402
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,519
That'll certainly hit poor, precious, weak little Lipsynche.

403
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,120
So you're going to take...

404
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:04,480
It's OK.

405
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,160
I remember I can heal people.

406
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:11,200
15 piercing damage, and Grancis is going to take...

407
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,160
Also 15 piercing damage.

408
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:15,920
Fair's fair.

409
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:16,420
Yeah.

410
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,680
And it powers through you, make a strength saving throw.

411
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,180
16.

412
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:23,920
Not the worst.

413
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,240
Grancis got a 23, so you are knocked back five feet, but not prone.

414
00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:32,000
Grancis, because he got a natural 20,

415
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,039
hops on top and is now riding the creature.

416
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:40,480
So just like in that one time it killed me, I should probably get off.

417
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,360
Nighthunter's turn.

418
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:49,200
Nighthunter wants to charge towards this undead bison.

419
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Grab Grancis and haul him off of it.

420
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,000
OK.

421
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:56,640
Can I do that?

422
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,720
Yeah, absolutely.

423
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:04,480
And with the other hand, they take their corpse grinder

424
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:10,480
and smash down onto the neck area of the bison.

425
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:10,960
Great.

426
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,759
That's what's happening.

427
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:12,720
Cool.

428
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:12,960
Yeah.

429
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,480
We'll say you run up behind it.

430
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,519
You hop on top.

431
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,400
Throw Grancis, who for this rhyme will be pop.

432
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,319
You throw pop off top and then you attack it for...

433
00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:25,039
23.

434
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:25,840
That will hit.

435
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:26,340
Nice.

436
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,640
Oh, yeah.

437
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,519
18 damage.

438
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,680
And then I think she should just hack again.

439
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,480
But this one is only for 18.

440
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:40,400
Yes.

441
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:41,360
Yes.

442
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:42,960
18 will hit.

443
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:43,279
Yeah.

444
00:19:43,279 --> 00:19:43,600
OK.

445
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,360
It's just a bison and you're on top of it.

446
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,160
And?

447
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,880
It's just a bison.

448
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,079
It's just a bison.

449
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:50,480
17 damage.

450
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,120
It's just a bison.

451
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,559
All right.

452
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:58,000
You cleave down hard into the head of this bison

453
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:04,799
and it buries into the ground, which of course isn't dirt.

454
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:10,000
So Icarus like grinds up and like flesh tears.

455
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,839
You hear the screams of like the mountain and the ground around you

456
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:21,519
as this thing like its horns gut into the landscape.

457
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,400
And you all look to your left, which is where the Shantytown was,

458
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,559
and all of the undead in this village are now coming towards you.

459
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:34,240
There's about 20 of them.

460
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:36,640
Vorunax, it's your turn.

461
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:42,160
The bison seems to be the most immediate and dangerous foe that we have.

462
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,320
So it's prone with Night Hunter on top.

463
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:53,360
Then the introduction of the of all those sweet undead through me caught me off guard.

464
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,759
I'm going to cast Synaptic Static.

465
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,920
And I'm going to center it in the mass of undead.

466
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:08,880
Um, oh, would I know undead don't take psychic damage?

467
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,039
I mean, I think you would know.

468
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,080
I feel like you would be quite knowledgeable.

469
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,279
Do they have anything going on up there to take psychic damage?

470
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:20,160
Where's my mouse?

471
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,800
There it is.

472
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,200
I know.

473
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,039
I know poison doesn't really work.

474
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:27,039
Immunities to poison says nothing about psychic.

475
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,759
So knowledge that you have.

476
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,039
A creature of lower with intelligence lower than a score of two can be affected.

477
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:38,240
Intelligence, they have a minus four.

478
00:21:39,759 --> 00:21:41,039
No, a three.

479
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:41,920
They have a three.

480
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:42,400
Sorry.

481
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,279
Oh, okay.

482
00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:44,960
Which is a minus four.

483
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,279
Cool.

484
00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:46,079
So a three.

485
00:21:46,079 --> 00:21:46,720
Yep, that would work.

486
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,519
Synaptic Static.

487
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,279
And I'm going to center it.

488
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:59,279
It's a 20 foot radius sphere centered on a point within

489
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:00,240
120 feet.

490
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,480
So, you know, as long as none of my new cohorts are in the range of effect,

491
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,079
I'll pop it.

492
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:06,480
Awesome.

493
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:06,879
Do it.

494
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,480
Cool, cool, cool.

495
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,680
They need to make an intelligence saving throw.

496
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,200
Minus four, even though it was a good roll, that makes it 15.

497
00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:22,160
15 will not do.

498
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,039
I'm so sorry.

499
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:28,319
So let me cast my 30 psychic damage to

500
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:29,759
all that failed.

501
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,519
15 to those who passed.

502
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:34,960
Okay, so 15 to those who passed.

503
00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:37,200
So you center it in the middle of this.

504
00:22:37,919 --> 00:22:42,240
They're like coming out of these houses and in this, for lack of a better term,

505
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,759
the square making their way down this main channel towards you.

506
00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:52,480
You loose it off and all of them, there's this build up of this charge

507
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,599
in the middle of them and all of their heads begin popping and falling to the ground.

508
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,240
Yeah, glorious.

509
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,919
The ones in the back who weren't quite in range are now tripping over

510
00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:08,639
and trying to shamble over top of all of these dead bodies.

511
00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:11,519
This is just as fun as if they were living.

512
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:12,639
This is great.

513
00:23:12,639 --> 00:23:14,240
This is classic Vorunax.

514
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,119
I love it.

515
00:23:16,639 --> 00:23:18,000
I hope you get to do it again.

516
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,879
Get all of them.

517
00:23:18,879 --> 00:23:20,480
So can I ask you a question?

518
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,720
I know we're mid battle, but don't you find it's maybe a little,

519
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,440
it's a little grosser here.

520
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,160
When you're coming in, maybe sort of from the outside, it's a bit,

521
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,920
I always found it, you know, like it was home and it's kind of icky.

522
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,000
It is a bit now that, you know, you kind of see it through a different lens

523
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,600
and you realize like, oh, those, you can roll down those hills,

524
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,120
but those hills are made of people's skin.

525
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:47,120
Yeah, it's kind of gross.

526
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:49,920
Anyway, just a thought that occurred to me

527
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,839
and I was wondering if you were kind of feeling the same way.

528
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:53,920
I think I'm getting there.

529
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:55,539
Flint.

530
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,640
So the zombies are all dealt with for the time being?

531
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,000
There's a few of them that were kind of a little bit too far back.

532
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,120
So like five of them.

533
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,680
Okay, but they're still far back.

534
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:13,680
Yeah, the undead bison that Night Hunter was on top of is prone

535
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,279
and is like thrashing even though it has its skull split open,

536
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,240
but being held down by the sheer brute force of Night Hunter.

537
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,240
Yeah, I guess I'll take my Dwarven Thrower

538
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,799
and throw it towards some of those zombies

539
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:28,799
that are a little ways back still.

540
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:29,440
Awesome.

541
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,640
I mean, clearly the bison is under control by Night Hunter.

542
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,279
Yeah.

543
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:35,120
Oh, she's got this.

544
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:36,319
First one's a 30.

545
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:40,559
Second is a 19.

546
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,640
Oh, 19, that's it.

547
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,079
Third is a 29.

548
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:45,519
That must have been a bad roll.

549
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,759
All of those will hit.

550
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:51,120
It's just a plus 14 to hit, guys.

551
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:52,160
It's no big deal.

552
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,200
No biggie.

553
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,000
No big deal.

554
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,680
It's just a thing.

555
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,520
I guess how many are left for us?

556
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,400
Is there more than three?

557
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,440
I think I said five.

558
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,960
Okay, I'll throw at like three individual ones

559
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,040
to try to kind of hit them each.

560
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,640
Yeah.

561
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,400
Since it like comes back to me every time.

562
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,120
Of course.

563
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:13,840
First one's going to take 12 damage.

564
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,760
Second one's going to take 10 damage.

565
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,880
And the third one is going to take 11 damage.

566
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,400
Just very mediocre rolls.

567
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,800
We'll say the hammer whips out

568
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,280
and as some of them are shambling back up,

569
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,080
like you catch them in the head and it knocks them back

570
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,040
and their head kind of like cracks and pops back.

571
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,760
And then even on the recoil, you get some.

572
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,080
So you get like almost double damage for like,

573
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,440
especially like the 30 roll.

574
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,080
So they're pretty much cleared out.

575
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,720
There's one that's slowly,

576
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,440
like one arm trying to crawl towards you all.

577
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,080
But it's a ways out still.

578
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,519
Thea, there's one.

579
00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:56,240
One lone.

580
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,080
There's one lone zombie.

581
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,440
There's the bison,

582
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,200
which is looking like it's on his last legs.

583
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,960
Like even Night Hunter would probably be able

584
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,920
to take care of on the next one.

585
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,840
But then you hear like this buzzing sound

586
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,759
off in the distance coming from over across the river.

587
00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:14,720
And you look and you turn and you look

588
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:20,960
and you see these huge insectoid like creatures.

589
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,200
And they're dripping with like blood

590
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,319
and viscous material from their mouths.

591
00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:28,240
And there's like 15 of them.

592
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,079
And they're coming over this river.

593
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:31,519
And as they get closer,

594
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:33,680
like just the edge of the other side,

595
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:39,600
you see 15 giant like bulbous dragonflies.

596
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,279
Way to make dragonflies gross, honey.

597
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:43,920
Yeah, you're welcome.

598
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:44,560
Nicely done.

599
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:47,519
Vorunax, could I ask you a quick question?

600
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:48,960
Shoot.

601
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:51,680
In order for zombies to attack somebody,

602
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,560
don't they have to be sent?

603
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:54,400
Someone's controlling them?

604
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,600
Or either they're under the command of a domain

605
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,720
that they exist in if they are programmed upon creation,

606
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,640
which is very likely.

607
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,320
I mean, and it could just, you know, this is,

608
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,640
I mean, honestly, this is kind of par for the course.

609
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,160
Okay, that was just my question.

610
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,200
Are we drawing too much attention to ourselves by,

611
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,640
you know, kicking ass?

612
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:20,960
Maybe, but at the same time,

613
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,720
I think just kind of existing in the capacity we do

614
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,519
draws attention.

615
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,080
Fair enough, okay.

616
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,120
Before you take your turn,

617
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:32,320
you also hear off in the distance this echoing roar

618
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,600
of what sounds like some huge creature

619
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,560
that you can't see, but the ground begins to tremble.

620
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,120
What the fuck is that?

621
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,120
Would I recognize that roar?

622
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,200
Uh, me?

623
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,040
It's Moxie.

624
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:47,680
Come here, girl.

625
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:47,920
Yeah.

626
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,680
Come on.

627
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,000
Yeah.

628
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,200
Daddy missed you.

629
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,320
Uh, yeah, probably.

630
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,240
You would, well, I mean, you would know

631
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,400
that within range of Orcus's castle,

632
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,720
there are several large creatures

633
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,240
that could have made that sound.

634
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,520
It could be one of two things.

635
00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:14,639
It could be a Orcus's dearly beloved Tyrannosaurus Rex,

636
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,680
or it could be the undead Tarasque

637
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,319
that you know roams narrative.

638
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,680
We should probably go.

639
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:30,240
Yeah, I was just thinking,

640
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,240
we like, we got important things to do.

641
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,000
I don't want to be wasting my energy

642
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,240
on just like random undead.

643
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,920
Can we like skedaddle?

644
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,119
I would like that very much.

645
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:40,639
I would like to skedaddle.

646
00:28:40,639 --> 00:28:41,359
Yeah.

647
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:42,960
I'm holding L1 and R1.

648
00:28:43,519 --> 00:28:45,119
So everybody is skedaddling.

649
00:28:45,839 --> 00:28:47,680
Can they hunt or take one more hack?

650
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,119
Yeah, for sure.

651
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,639
She would not leave a creature just like wounded,

652
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:54,319
even though it's an undead.

653
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:55,440
100 percent.

654
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:55,839
All right.

655
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,720
Where are you skedaddling to?

656
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:00,400
Great question.

657
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,160
Deeper into the Shantytown?

658
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,440
Yeah, we'd probably move closer

659
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,759
towards the center of the city at least.

660
00:29:05,759 --> 00:29:07,920
Vorunax and Lipsinki would have knowledge

661
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,880
of often to like either the right or the left,

662
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,080
depending on which way you go.

663
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,920
There are staircases that go up this large mountain side

664
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,440
that lead up to Orcus's castle,

665
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,560
which you can see just kind of cresting

666
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,960
the top of the mountain as well.

667
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,640
Up there, there are also monasteries

668
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,440
and ways down into the dungeons and crypts.

669
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,400
But yes, you can absolutely go further in

670
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,120
and like sidekick some of these still half-living,

671
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:50,080
half-unalive zombies as you're heading in there.

672
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,519
You are being actively chased by these dragonflies, though.

673
00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:57,840
Oh, I thought maybe we'll just scooch away.

674
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:58,880
They were heading towards you.

675
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,680
You didn't make yourselves invisible.

676
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,960
So they're going to try to attack you.

677
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,240
There's a lot of them to attack.

678
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,759
Half of them get 18.

679
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:13,200
Well, if we were still in combat,

680
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,000
can I say I hold my action then until they get closer?

681
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,560
Sure, yeah.

682
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,120
So they are close enough that you could attack them.

683
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,400
Okay, I would like to.

684
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:25,600
If running away and just avoiding this conflict

685
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,440
isn't an option, I didn't know that

686
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,080
they were like a for sure thing like

687
00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:32,799
maybe it was just a flyby.

688
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:33,679
Maybe they were just passing over.

689
00:30:33,679 --> 00:30:34,799
How many dragonflies?

690
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:35,759
I think I said 15.

691
00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:36,319
15.

692
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,720
Yeah, there was a fair amount of them.

693
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,839
Yeah, which is why I thought leaving would be a good idea.

694
00:30:41,839 --> 00:30:43,839
Okay, but instead of that,

695
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:50,480
Thea will eldritch blast four of them.

696
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,240
You can hear the drone of their wings

697
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,519
as they come over the river

698
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:54,960
and are coming in behind you.

699
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,159
You're running into the center of this town

700
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,160
and they're closing in

701
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,920
and you see they're sharp.

702
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,800
They've got like these grinding saw-like teeth

703
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,400
that they open their mouths

704
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,920
and they come in towards you

705
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,120
and you hit them.

706
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:14,640
Welcome to the middle.

707
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,040
It's me, your dungeon master, Russ More.

708
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,320
How you doing, friends?

709
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,759
It's so good to have you.

710
00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:22,160
Having so much fun here in the abyss, can't you tell?

711
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,400
Everybody's just so excited about

712
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,080
how the welcome wagon is just rolled out for them.

713
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,920
A little bit surprised too, it might be the case.

714
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,040
We want to let you know about the thing

715
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:33,920
that I've been teasing about

716
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,680
is the refresh on Patreon.

717
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,160
Some things are open back up on Patreon

718
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,360
including game time.

719
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,800
Game time is back

720
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,640
and now at a lower price moving forward.

721
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,320
Previously $100 a month,

722
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,920
now only $60 a month.

723
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,759
Patreon.com slash dumb dragoncast.

724
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:51,440
Come join us around the table.

725
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,600
You can also sign up for the $5 tier

726
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,800
which hasn't changed.

727
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,560
It's our bonus audio tier

728
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,520
where you get an exclusive podcast monthly.

729
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,040
You get Dumbgeons Downtime.

730
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,640
You get Game Time Audio

731
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,280
which is the game that we play at the game time.

732
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,520
We release the audio and it's a lot of fun.

733
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,520
And of course our supporting producer tier.

734
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,480
All those names you hear

735
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,320
at the end of the episode in the credits.

736
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,920
That list is growing

737
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,880
and we want you to also be a part of it.

738
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,320
There's extra hangouts

739
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,960
on top of the gook hang for the supporting producers

740
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,640
as well as those are the people

741
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,880
who we go to when we've got questions

742
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,320
and need suggestions.

743
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,080
That's where we start.

744
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,480
Patreon.com slash dumb dragoncast.

745
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,720
So many great things.

746
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,600
Check it out.

747
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Join us today.

748
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,240
It's quick and easy

749
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,960
and you get a whole bunch of extra content.

750
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:39,680
If you're caught up.

751
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:41,680
I think it's...

752
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,040
I looked at the number before Christmas

753
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,240
and we've released a bunch of that

754
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,480
a bunch of extra content since then

755
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,960
but it was pretty much equivalent

756
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,799
to what we have in the main feed.

757
00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:54,880
So you can instantly double

758
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,519
the number of episodes that you can listen to

759
00:32:57,519 --> 00:32:58,640
right out of the gate.

760
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,840
It's a great time.

761
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:00,559
All right.

762
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:01,440
Back to the episode.

763
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,559
We'll talk to you very soon.

764
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:03,200
Thanks everybody.

765
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,600
Love you.

766
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,100
Bye.

767
00:33:05,759 --> 00:33:07,200
They open their mouths

768
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,720
and they come in towards you

769
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,920
and you hit them.

770
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,000
The first one is a 20 not nat.

771
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,720
The second one is only a 13.

772
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,799
The next one is a 26.

773
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,600
A nat one.

774
00:33:26,079 --> 00:33:27,120
And another 13.

775
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,319
How many times did I roll?

776
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,680
You rolled five.

777
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,160
Okay.

778
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,000
Ignore that last 13 then.

779
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:34,160
Okay.

780
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,279
So you hit them with two

781
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,360
and you have a nat one in there.

782
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,319
So roll damage for the two.

783
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,200
Part of me doesn't want to anymore.

784
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:47,680
Can I just take it all back?

785
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,240
Six damage.

786
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,039
That sucks.

787
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,840
And seven.

788
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,560
You're going to shoot one off.

789
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,240
It's going to go wide

790
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,240
and one is going to come in for a bite

791
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,880
that sneaks in behind you on this nat one.

792
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,519
And that's going to be a 23 to attack you.

793
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:06,480
Yeah.

794
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,680
And that's going to be six necrotic damage

795
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:12,480
that you're going to take.

796
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,320
I expected it to be a lot worse than that.

797
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,720
Everybody make a dexterity saving throw.

798
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:19,760
Oh, nat 20.

799
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,440
Two.

800
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,360
15.

801
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,519
Plus three, so five.

802
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,760
Unnatural 20.

803
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,200
Oh, and if you're within 10 feet of me,

804
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,400
you get a plus four to it.

805
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:32,800
All right.

806
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,680
Oh, nine.

807
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,880
Oh, fuck off.

808
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:37,920
19.

809
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,200
12 for Night Hunter.

810
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,559
Okay, so Night Hunter and Thea are

811
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,519
you're all tearing off and you dive in

812
00:34:49,519 --> 00:34:53,360
and into one of these shacks and get away.

813
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,920
As Night Hunter and Thea are trying to follow you,

814
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,519
they get sideswiped by them.

815
00:34:59,519 --> 00:35:04,080
You're going to take nine bludgeoning damage each

816
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,120
as these dragonflies bombard into you.

817
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:10,080
Inside of this shack,

818
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,720
as you two are still outside being now swarmed

819
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:14,800
and circled around by these dragonflies,

820
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,960
there is a staircase that goes down into the earth.

821
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:22,480
The skin earth.

822
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,760
Quotation, heavy quotation marks on perspective.

823
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,560
It's earth.

824
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,200
It's gross.

825
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,840
They say ground instead.

826
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,880
Ground.

827
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:33,600
Like meat.

828
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,300
Yeah.

829
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:38,080
Oh my god.

830
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:38,580
Yeah.

831
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:43,600
So everybody except Night Hunter and Thea are now inside.

832
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,320
We can go to the top.

833
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,320
Grants is his turn.

834
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,280
And he's going to try to assist by casting a spell.

835
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:54,980
Oh, no.

836
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,280
Expeditious retreat.

837
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,080
Does he have to move at an incredible pace?

838
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:04,400
Allows me to move at an incredible pace.

839
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:05,760
Helpful.

840
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,080
It does sound like he would cast that on himself.

841
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,280
I mean, he's already out of the way.

842
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:10,880
Let's go.

843
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,720
Jim's magic missile.

844
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,260
Gross.

845
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:18,820
What?

846
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,720
It's his dick.

847
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,720
You create three twisting, whistling, hypoallergenic,

848
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:30,800
gluten-free darts of magical force.

849
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,600
Each dart targets a creature of your choice.

850
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,800
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

851
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,280
OK.

852
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,920
They're going to try and shoot these out and disperse them.

853
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:40,800
All three zip out.

854
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,640
And one is critical.

855
00:36:42,639 --> 00:36:44,879
So 2d4.

856
00:36:45,839 --> 00:36:48,079
So they're going to take a whole bunch of damage

857
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:51,119
as these magic missiles fly out and explode around you

858
00:36:51,839 --> 00:36:55,039
in almost like a firework fashion,

859
00:36:56,079 --> 00:37:00,319
giving you a moment to duck back inside this shack.

860
00:37:00,319 --> 00:37:01,440
You slam the door shut,

861
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,359
and they're hitting on the walls trying to break in.

862
00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:07,839
Thanks, Grants.

863
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,679
Oh, yeah, no problem.

864
00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:11,599
Yes, we could have taken them, though.

865
00:37:11,599 --> 00:37:14,719
Learned that one from a friend named Jim down in the abyss here.

866
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,199
Like to show off his magic missile.

867
00:37:17,759 --> 00:37:18,239
Impressive.

868
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,559
We met a few people like that, haven't we?

869
00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:22,159
Yeah, there's a few down here.

870
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,159
It attracts all types, doesn't it?

871
00:37:24,799 --> 00:37:26,079
Yeah, it does.

872
00:37:26,079 --> 00:37:28,960
Well, thank you for actually helping.

873
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,039
I read my book.

874
00:37:32,559 --> 00:37:34,319
And not just like I said I read my book,

875
00:37:34,319 --> 00:37:35,839
like a couple of the last times,

876
00:37:35,839 --> 00:37:38,719
but like I actually like read them and learned,

877
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,880
and it was like we got this book for a reason,

878
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,360
and there was a whole bunch of really cool stuff in there.

879
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,000
Did you know?

880
00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:48,240
Did you know that I have this thing called Expeditious Retreat?

881
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,400
It's only helpful to me, but in case we get,

882
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:55,280
I specifically get Nubind, I can run really fast if I cast it.

883
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,360
I can summon some Shadow Spawn.

884
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,240
We want to see that one?

885
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:01,920
Later.

886
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,720
Okay, cool.

887
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:04,400
Yeah, it's probably not the time.

888
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,000
I got Aberrations.

889
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,599
I got Modify Memories.

890
00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:11,360
I can't wait to see all of these happen.

891
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,839
We'll have a show and tell at one point.

892
00:38:13,839 --> 00:38:14,639
Anybody tired?

893
00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:15,440
I got Catnap.

894
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:17,839
Nope.

895
00:38:17,839 --> 00:38:19,599
That might actually be beneficial later.

896
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:21,920
Doing good right now.

897
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:22,559
Hold on to that one.

898
00:38:22,559 --> 00:38:24,480
So are we going down into the meat hole?

899
00:38:25,599 --> 00:38:27,360
Oh, please never say that again.

900
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:30,799
Sounds like a pretty rocking Saturday.

901
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,880
Before we do that, can Lipsinki cast Hallow?

902
00:38:38,559 --> 00:38:44,960
It will block any undead because we've entered like sort of a cave essentially, right?

903
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,400
Like a downward passage, like a dungeon entrance kind of.

904
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:57,759
So I will reach down and probably not very happily touch the ground.

905
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,079
It purrs.

906
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:14,159
What matters is undead can't enter the area and I can bind an extra effect to the area,

907
00:39:14,159 --> 00:39:17,279
which you have to agree to, my dear GM.

908
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,519
Which could be like daylight or darkness or

909
00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:26,000
everlasting rest.

910
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,480
Dead bodies can't be turned into undead.

911
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,559
Fear, creatures get frightened when they're there.

912
00:39:32,559 --> 00:39:33,519
No sound.

913
00:39:33,519 --> 00:39:34,719
I mean, it kind of doesn't matter.

914
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:41,199
I'm just hoping to stop anything from following us down here to be honest.

915
00:39:41,199 --> 00:39:42,559
And it can be up to 60 feet.

916
00:39:42,559 --> 00:39:44,960
I don't know how big the entrance is, probably not that big.

917
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:45,920
But yeah, absolutely.

918
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,119
You cast Hallow.

919
00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:49,920
What is the effect that you want?

920
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,719
Well, actually, no, you would have been spent time down in the abyss.

921
00:39:53,200 --> 00:40:00,880
So you can pick the effect that it has, knowing that I probably would have twisted it to daylight.

922
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,280
Yeah, no, let's say, actually, let's say silence.

923
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,440
So no sound can come out.

924
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,920
So I mean, I don't know how they're finding us.

925
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,040
They're probably just sensing our aliveness.

926
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,960
Yeah, got that sweet, sweet pulse.

927
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,720
That beating heart, that pulse, all that delicious stuff.

928
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:21,760
Exactly.

929
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,680
My anxiety sweat that Lipsynche probably has.

930
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,160
But let's say silence.

931
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,840
So now we can sort of speak freely without they can't hear us and they can't get in.

932
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,720
Does silence work for them or for all of you?

933
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,200
It says no sound can emanate from within the area.

934
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,000
So you can't talk.

935
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,080
Only for 60 feet.

936
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:42,560
I don't want to.

937
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,200
Yeah, only for 60 feet.

938
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,960
Oh yeah, just so we can get in further.

939
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,240
Yeah, not forever.

940
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:48,320
Yeah, I just want to put up a sound blocking.

941
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,200
It's great for an audio podcast.

942
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,680
We've described some gross things.

943
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,280
This could be a podcast now.

944
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:57,780
We have.

945
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,680
The word anus has been said.

946
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,559
Dick has already been thrown out there in many ways.

947
00:41:04,559 --> 00:41:05,680
Welcome to the abyss.

948
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,039
We've made it.

949
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:15,280
Okay, yes, Hallow Spell goes silence deafening for you.

950
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:21,120
You lose the sound of the dragonfly beating against the outside of the shack as you

951
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:27,120
begin to descend and out of the 60 foot range of this spell and you walk down.

952
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:33,120
Everybody make a sanity saving throw please or a sanity roll.

953
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,200
You all, of course, rolled your sanity stat and wrote it down somewhere important.

954
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,519
Yeah, I did write it down somewhere.

955
00:41:39,519 --> 00:41:41,040
I do remember writing it down.

956
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,320
I also don't remember writing it down.

957
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,559
Oh, no, because I asked you, where do we record that?

958
00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:48,480
And you were like, I'll figure it out and I'll put it in for you, Amy.

959
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,160
And I'm like, you do everything for me.

960
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:50,960
I love you.

961
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,559
I got a 22 total.

962
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:54,000
I got a 13.

963
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,800
14.

964
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,000
16 for Thea.

965
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:00,960
One for Nighthunter.

966
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:02,160
Oh, no.

967
00:42:02,559 --> 00:42:04,399
Oh, okay.

968
00:42:04,399 --> 00:42:13,519
So everybody who got below 15 is going to take 15 sanity damage, which is going to

969
00:42:13,519 --> 00:42:17,199
be a separate pool that we'll have to keep track of.

970
00:42:18,559 --> 00:42:21,599
And for the one, you're going to take 30.

971
00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:24,000
But my sanity was only six.

972
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:24,799
I don't understand.

973
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:26,799
Okay.

974
00:42:26,799 --> 00:42:28,159
Is it like a one to one of HP?

975
00:42:28,879 --> 00:42:29,920
Is that what you're wanting to do?

976
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:31,839
It's a count up scale.

977
00:42:32,799 --> 00:42:33,920
So, yeah.

978
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,559
So once you reach a certain threshold of sanity, things can happen.

979
00:42:38,559 --> 00:42:39,440
What's the threshold?

980
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:40,480
I'm already at 30.

981
00:42:42,799 --> 00:42:44,159
So we'll find out when we get there.

982
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:53,199
But different things happen to characters' perception, to the way that they interact

983
00:42:53,199 --> 00:42:57,119
with the world, to the madness that they can succumb to.

984
00:42:58,879 --> 00:42:59,839
Fuck.

985
00:42:59,839 --> 00:43:00,319
Yeah.

986
00:43:00,319 --> 00:43:01,440
Poor Nighthunter.

987
00:43:02,159 --> 00:43:02,659
Yeah.

988
00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:04,099
Yeah.

989
00:43:04,879 --> 00:43:11,920
I just sort of realized Nighthunter was just like living life with Elia just so recently.

990
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,079
Just so happily.

991
00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:15,279
Blissful.

992
00:43:15,279 --> 00:43:17,279
After being alone for so long.

993
00:43:17,279 --> 00:43:18,319
It was rough for her.

994
00:43:18,319 --> 00:43:18,719
Yeah.

995
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:19,759
Found love.

996
00:43:19,759 --> 00:43:20,719
Got married.

997
00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:25,359
Found somewhere safe in the whole broken world.

998
00:43:25,359 --> 00:43:29,119
Practically had a child because, I mean, Opal.

999
00:43:29,119 --> 00:43:30,239
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1000
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:30,400
So.

1001
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:34,960
It's sad.

1002
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,680
She didn't choose to be there.

1003
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,680
No, no, that was a poor roll.

1004
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:40,880
Hey.

1005
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,040
Look where we ended up.

1006
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,240
Hey, don't put that on me.

1007
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,800
That was a story that did that.

1008
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:48,480
You go down.

1009
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,720
So feel free to, as you take like heavy amounts of sanity damage to

1010
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:55,440
have that affect your character in ways that make sense,

1011
00:43:55,519 --> 00:44:02,240
um, you're reacting to basically all of the disgusting shit you've seen to this point

1012
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:08,559
and are now walking down this, um, this tunnel system.

1013
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:17,840
But it's been, we've said it in jest before, but it's been like carved from

1014
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,559
gross bone and decaying material.

1015
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:28,400
And it's like, you can feel the ground shift underneath your feet and like,

1016
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,720
you can see it contract as you're walking down this long chamber.

1017
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:39,519
And as you, um, as you get past the 60 feet where the silent spell has been cast,

1018
00:44:39,519 --> 00:44:43,840
like there's this thrumming noise that you can hear echoing down

1019
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,160
the entire cave system that you're now in.

1020
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,920
We are not in anus, yes?

1021
00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:56,800
Oh no, smell, smells not quite right for that.

1022
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,720
I've been in one of those before down here.

1023
00:44:59,519 --> 00:45:00,400
I bet you have.

1024
00:45:01,519 --> 00:45:03,600
Might be closer to esophagus.

1025
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:04,480
Yes, yeah.

1026
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Grancis, being in here really reminds me of when, you know, we were kind of together

1027
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,719
and working before I sort of had my change of heart and

1028
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,320
went with Vorunax and I am, I, it is not a pleasant memory.

1029
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,480
You must be having kind of a hard time down here.

1030
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:27,199
Yeah.

1031
00:45:27,199 --> 00:45:28,719
Would you like to talk about it?

1032
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:36,639
Okay. Um, so I got captured and they put me down in the abyss.

1033
00:45:36,639 --> 00:45:37,840
That's where I met Lipsinki.

1034
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,679
So that was cool when Lipsinki showed up

1035
00:45:40,639 --> 00:45:41,839
because I was there for a little while.

1036
00:45:41,839 --> 00:45:45,919
Before that, you know, I was a ghost for a bit and there was this real dick

1037
00:45:45,919 --> 00:45:54,079
who was like trying to just get ghosts to come help Orcus and they were all real

1038
00:45:54,079 --> 00:46:00,960
jerk bags and then like pulled me in through this light and then I ended up down here.

1039
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:05,519
But the time and time again that they tried to kill me, one time, like I said,

1040
00:46:05,519 --> 00:46:10,320
it was in an anus. So you're like having to deal with like, you know, everything being,

1041
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,480
all the moisture being sucked from your body.

1042
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,679
And then you're just like this shell of a human that's resting in the,

1043
00:46:17,679 --> 00:46:22,480
just in the colon of one of these huge creatures, just waiting to be shot out.

1044
00:46:23,679 --> 00:46:28,000
Oh, oh, they made you the corn. Yes. Yes. That's classic.

1045
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:33,280
Yeah. I remember them laughing and be like, oh, we can still see the husk.

1046
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,200
Oh, yep. Shucks. I wish I'd been there.

1047
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,960
It's not goodbye. It's a see you later.

1048
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:40,080
Yeah. Yeah.

1049
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,680
So that was one time. I'm sure we'll have lots of time.

1050
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,720
Where does this tunnel system, do you know this tunnel system?

1051
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:55,440
Well, if I were to guess, it would run to the blood sewers that run underneath the,

1052
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:02,720
underneath the city, which we could make our way at least to the inner circle, which

1053
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,360
might not be too bad overall, as far as the denizens there.

1054
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,880
There are some undead of intellect that do not just mindlessly, mindlessly shamble,

1055
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,840
which that would be where we would have to be more on our toes and

1056
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,960
maybe have a story straight as far as what we're doing, whether we're still doing the,

1057
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:29,040
you are my prisoners. And at this point, what did we decide? Lipsinkia,

1058
00:47:29,039 --> 00:47:34,639
the well-trained new hire or?

1059
00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:40,880
Yeah. I don't, I mean, gosh, where am I here now?

1060
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,039
What would happen if you saw you now?

1061
00:47:43,759 --> 00:47:48,320
Yeah. I mean, I can't see me. I feel like I might still, I mean, we haven't met,

1062
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,960
so I must still, I mean, maybe I'm with Grancis. Like maybe I'm still,

1063
00:47:53,519 --> 00:47:56,800
you know, on the, on the hard side of things.

1064
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,160
Well, no, cause if you haven't met Vorunax, like Vorunax, if you remember,

1065
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,320
I captured you in Blackpool and Blackpool wasn't set up yet. So,

1066
00:48:07,519 --> 00:48:12,800
so you were still like wandering about, listening to the voices in your head.

1067
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:18,320
I'm still up above just digging holes, happily getting put in prison. I guess it

1068
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,680
wasn't great either. Although Vorunax is here, so maybe you won't get put in prison.

1069
00:48:21,679 --> 00:48:23,359
Oh, maybe.

1070
00:48:23,359 --> 00:48:25,119
That's highly likely.

1071
00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:29,440
Oh, that, I mean, that's uplifting, isn't it? There's a version of you that never gets

1072
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,599
captured. There's a version of me that doesn't get put in prison and captured.

1073
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:35,440
High fives. We did something good already.

1074
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,519
Oh, I don't think we should touch hands.

1075
00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:38,399
We're all ready.

1076
00:48:38,399 --> 00:48:42,719
What if we could find the other you and harness their power through their life source

1077
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:43,599
and feed it to you?

1078
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:45,279
Well, I think, I mean-

1079
00:48:45,279 --> 00:48:47,599
I feel like you're stronger, bigger, better, Lipsinkia.

1080
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:48,960
Yes. Grancis gets it.

1081
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:49,839
I mean, Grancis, I don't-

1082
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,640
I mean, that kind of sounds like we're going down the wrong road.

1083
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:58,240
Yeah, I'm not sure, because I'm so new to this whole being good thing, but like,

1084
00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:02,800
Thea, that sounds, I know I'm allowed to kill bad people as much as I want,

1085
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,160
but I feel like I probably can't go find innocent me.

1086
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,240
Oh, and would you want to do that to innocent you?

1087
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:08,720
That would be-

1088
00:49:09,519 --> 00:49:13,760
No, I wouldn't, actually. You're right. Grancis, Vorunax. No, we're not going to do that.

1089
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:18,800
Now, hold on a second. Though, what if we found Grancis down here?

1090
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,640
And fed him to our Grancis to make a super Grancis?

1091
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,120
To make, to make a super Grancis.

1092
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,120
I don't, I don't think the world could handle that.

1093
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,320
I've had that happen before.

1094
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:32,240
Oh.

1095
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:33,920
Yeah, where they fed me to me and-

1096
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,280
Oh, right.

1097
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,400
Yeah, it was a real vore thing that I didn't care for.

1098
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:38,800
Yeah.

1099
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,000
With a nice Chianti?

1100
00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:45,280
Yeah, yeah. They said it was, it was really just Kirtle's blood.

1101
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,079
Yeah, I mean, most things you get down here-

1102
00:49:48,079 --> 00:49:49,200
Yeah, they probably got it.

1103
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:49,840
It's just Kirtle's.

1104
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:50,560
From the bloods, it was.

1105
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:51,360
Kirtle's blood.

1106
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:51,920
Yep.

1107
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:52,320
Yeah.

1108
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:52,640
Yes.

1109
00:49:54,080 --> 00:50:00,240
So, I guess what I'm saying, Vorunax, is I don't know. What do we do? Are we all prisoners?

1110
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:06,160
Does it make more sense if I'm like, like you're lackey that, that can kind of help or-

1111
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:13,840
I think, I think them being the prisoners makes sense. I believe we could turn

1112
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:21,840
you into, yes, my lackey, or my new pickup.

1113
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:29,600
You're like, oh, this one seems promising. Brought her along just because everything checked out.

1114
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:34,000
Above board. Exceeds expectation.

1115
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,920
I mean, that is what happens eventually, so it seems-

1116
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,559
Yeah, you've been through the steps. You paid the dues.

1117
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:43,680
Exactly. I mean, this way, I'm doing it without having to go through

1118
00:50:43,679 --> 00:50:47,119
all the torture and what, and being roommates with Granzis, so.

1119
00:50:47,759 --> 00:50:48,239
That's true.

1120
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,119
And all the best lies have that anchoring truth.

1121
00:50:51,919 --> 00:50:52,399
Exactly.

1122
00:50:52,399 --> 00:50:53,440
Yeah, exactly.

1123
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:53,919
Okay.

1124
00:50:53,919 --> 00:50:55,199
Good point, good point.

1125
00:50:55,199 --> 00:51:00,480
At what point should you, like, do we need to be tied up and,

1126
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,719
and like that air quotes because-

1127
00:51:03,759 --> 00:51:04,319
Right.

1128
00:51:04,319 --> 00:51:09,759
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, I guess the question is, are we going, are you taking us?

1129
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:17,360
So we got to go through the blood sewers and then we hang a right at, at the tonsils

1130
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:24,000
and then do we make our way straight to Orcus or are you swinging us by the prison?

1131
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,080
Are we going to the prison or are we going to Orcus?

1132
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,880
I think we should eat Granzis.

1133
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:32,160
Granzis, what happened when you ate yourself?

1134
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,440
Did you become extra powerful?

1135
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,960
In that instance, no, no, I, I cried.

1136
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:42,960
Yeah, it was dark, it was a dark time.

1137
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:45,679
Yes, that's terrible.

1138
00:51:46,639 --> 00:51:49,280
Well, yeah, do we just roll in and say,

1139
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:53,679
Orcus, look at this, it's, it's Thea Anastasia.

1140
00:51:53,679 --> 00:51:54,240
And the crew.

1141
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:55,920
Flint.

1142
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,079
I don't think I feel comfortable being the headliner.

1143
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,800
I feel like you and Flint kind of are the, the headliner.

1144
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:05,440
No offense.

1145
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,240
Granzis, 900, no offense to you, but I mean, they.

1146
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:08,880
It is true.

1147
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,080
I do not need to know myself.

1148
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:10,880
It's pretty famous.

1149
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,560
It's best to keep me at the back.

1150
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,400
I've got things like delayed blast fireball.

1151
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,120
Well, it sounds like you need to get that checked out.

1152
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:19,600
Agreed.

1153
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:20,880
I also have sequester.

1154
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,800
You want me to try that one out on you?

1155
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,160
I'm not into horses.

1156
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,519
And that's where we're in that episode.

1177

Russ has a freaking doom pile.

1178
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,320
Because you need a set of drawers or like a filing cabinets.

1179
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:52,799
What do you think?

1180
00:53:52,799 --> 00:53:55,119
Then they just become doom cabinets and drawers.

1181
00:53:55,119 --> 00:53:56,799
Yeah, but then the dog can't get at them.

1182
00:53:56,799 --> 00:53:57,440
It's true.

1183
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,440
I've got a doom desk in my garage.

1184
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:01,759
I have a doom garage.

1185
00:54:03,519 --> 00:54:04,559
Yeah, that's more apropos.

1186
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,279
Through the magic of editing, Russ has this name.

1187
00:54:11,279 --> 00:54:12,400
They're already picked out.
