1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,760
We're just on a lift on the way down.

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,520
Dumbgeons and Dragons will begin in a moment.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:18,240
There is a sound of a very rusty elevator.

4
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:21,039
And all of you, the five of you,

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,320
yeah, I mean, last time we said we could only fit three in, but I feel like

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:32,320
we could definitely force five people into this very small rusty elevator.

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,600
All of you are packed in tight.

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,359
I'm a willowy young man.

9
00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:40,560
Oh, then perfect. See, it's all making perfect sense.

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,439
So you're packed right in the middle there surrounded by everybody else around you.

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:54,799
There's the kind of sound and you're getting farther and farther away from the light above.

12
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,320
So how far down does this go?

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Should I light my torch?

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,040
Like in time wise.

15
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,280
Wait, going down in time?

16
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:09,359
How long is this trip down is what I should be asking.

17
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:11,359
I can't, it's been a little while.

18
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:14,960
I can't remember if this was the, there's the first elevator.

19
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:17,520
And I can't remember if we keep going down on this elevator,

20
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,520
if there was a second elevator, but we'll go down.

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,400
There will be a floor and then there will be another one.

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,319
I think we went down twice.

23
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:29,120
Maybe it was the second one where we.

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,920
Was it the second one?

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,039
Riveting.

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,719
Yeah.

27
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:34,000
I mean, there was a lot happening.

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,200
It's hard to remember.

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,679
It's true.

30
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:41,120
I wouldn't like the, well, you could now, but maybe not.

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,719
If I hold it like up in between.

32
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:43,920
Okay.

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,400
Oh, wait.

34
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:46,079
Yeah.

35
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,679
I mean, I have a torch in my backpack just so you guys know.

36
00:01:49,679 --> 00:01:53,120
Also, do you do, should we stuff our ears?

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,160
Well, they do do a fair bit of shrieking.

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:56,640
It's true.

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,160
I do have a method that would counteract that.

40
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:09,200
It just so happens that it would, for instance, bizarre.

41
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:12,080
If any of your spells require you to speak,

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,920
that's going to be an issue also.

43
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,200
Oh, that's.

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,960
Well, all of them.

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:17,920
So.

46
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:18,879
Yeah.

47
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:20,560
Yeah.

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,719
The, the quiet, quiet place spell.

49
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:22,960
Yeah.

50
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:25,520
The quiet place spell.

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,639
Yes, absolutely.

52
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,680
It might be something that when we,

53
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,719
when we come across these creatures,

54
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:33,919
we'll can figure it out then.

55
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,360
However, my method for allowing you all to see

56
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,840
is also a limited time thing.

57
00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:45,360
Wait, you can do that, Penance?

58
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,479
I can do so many things, Bond, and you don't even know.

59
00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:50,319
This is when you get further along in the course,

60
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:51,439
you'll really fully understand.

61
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,439
Well, cool.

62
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:55,439
If you can go ahead and take care of that,

63
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:57,919
that whole not being able to see in the dark thing,

64
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,840
then we wouldn't need the torch.

65
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,199
We wouldn't, I mean, the sound of the elevator alone,

66
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:05,120
I think is an indicator of something

67
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,159
encroaching upon their territory,

68
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:11,280
but it's going to be fine.

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,879
We have a very prestigious monster hunter with us.

70
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:15,599
You do.

71
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,599
How quickly were you attacked last time

72
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:18,479
and then you just ran?

73
00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:19,520
You said you just ran.

74
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,680
It took a little bit and then we kind of,

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,520
we rode the elevator back up,

76
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,600
so it wasn't really a running,

77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,640
it was like a standing in place while the machine moved us.

78
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,300
Yes.

79
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,439
And they followed you to the surface?

80
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:36,960
Well, not at the time they didn't.

81
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,160
That's right, they didn't.

82
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
That's where we're kind of thinking it wasn't our fault.

83
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,240
While I'm packed in between all of you guys like this,

84
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,120
I'm going to awkwardly still get into my bag

85
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,960
and I'm going to pull out my pen knife

86
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,200
and I'm going to cut off a corner of my robe

87
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,280
and then I'm going to shimmy up this little piece

88
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760
and then I'm going to, in front of my face,

89
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,400
trim it down and to make myself some teeny tiny earplugs.

90
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,680
And then, because I'm strapped in between you guys,

91
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,879
I'm going to get her in.

92
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,560
And then my hands are kind of stuck up by my ears

93
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,159
and then I got to kind of shimmy my hands back down my body

94
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:13,120
and then after I manage to get them back down,

95
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,480
I'm going to act like nothing happened

96
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,680
and try to look really, really cool

97
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,000
and just pretend that you guys didn't notice me doing that.

98
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,840
I'm just going to imagine that Bonnet

99
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,759
is in the exact center of everyone.

100
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,199
So everyone was just like perceiving that whole thing.

101
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,800
And now I'm going to act casual.

102
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,639
Dumbgeons and Dragons is a D&D actual play podcast

103
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:39,280
and I'm your dungeon master Russ More, HeHim.

104
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,360
Also with me today, Tom Laird

105
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,280
as Kavlaran Goldweave, HeHim.

106
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,519
I know what I'm doing with it.

107
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:48,240
Kyle Klasset as Bizard the Wizard, HeHim.

108
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,079
But that's not a spell I've seen.

109
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:51,919
What is that? What did you do?

110
00:04:51,919 --> 00:04:54,399
With special guests from I Seduce the Dragon,

111
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,680
Christina Van Epps as Penance Olive Tree, SheHer.

112
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,759
If I can hear you, everyone can hear you.

113
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:03,199
And Ryan Keely, SheHer as Bond and Cove, HeHim.

114
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:05,519
Are there still damage there? Can I see it?

115
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:08,560
Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Patreon-supported podcast

119
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,840
We hope to see you over there.

120
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,520
And now, fuck it, let's play.

121
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:31,520
Bizarre and Kavlaran and Bench,

122
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,120
you recognize kind of where you are now

123
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,120
that you passed the first pathway,

124
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,800
which is where you found the mining equipment

125
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,319
down one direction and then the other direction was a cave-in.

126
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:49,439
You now recall that going down to the next level

127
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,920
was where you extended down and found a ladder

128
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,080
that went down further into the cave

129
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,920
where you came across what at the time

130
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,639
you thought was a dog-like creature,

131
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:06,960
which now that you've been attacked by these creatures in the city,

132
00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:10,480
realize it was a youngling of this species.

133
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,600
Let me pet that dog.

134
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,600
Can Bondin and Christina see anything down these floors

135
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,360
as we're passing them in the elevator?

136
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Not Bondin and Penance.

137
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,040
Bondin and me.

138
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:24,720
Me, specifically.

139
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Did Penance cast the darkvision on those who can't see yet?

140
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,759
Not yet.

141
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:38,000
I think because I can only do it for about an hour,

142
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,080
so I'm holding it until we're a little bit closer.

143
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,120
But I do have darkvision up to 300 feet,

144
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,800
so if there is anything to be seen as we're going down.

145
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,000
Is there anything distinguishing that would be seen on these levels

146
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,719
or do they just look like average mineshaft levels?

147
00:06:52,719 --> 00:06:55,039
They look like pretty standard mineshaft levels.

148
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:59,279
Bondin likely wouldn't be able to see a whole lot.

149
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Kavlaran would only know this based on memory.

150
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,360
You can just see sweaty chests.

151
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Exactly.

152
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,560
Penance, however, you can see down both directions.

153
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:13,120
You can see that there's a cave-in down one as you pass this.

154
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,759
You can see, because you've got 300 feet,

155
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:18,800
you can see the outline, dimly for your vision,

156
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,280
but you can see the outline of what looks like wooden mining equipment,

157
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,759
like a drilling device of some sort.

158
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:26,160
Okay.

159
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,160
So I'll leave it to you all if you want to stop there

160
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,360
or if you want to keep going

161
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,399
or if the others want to signal that you want to keep going.

162
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:35,360
Let's keep going down.

163
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,639
Take us down to the source.

164
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,879
Yes, the second floor we stopped at,

165
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:41,199
there was a ladder from what I recall

166
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,759
and that's where we encountered the first one.

167
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,120
Much smaller than the ones in town.

168
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,120
Hopefully easier to kill.

169
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,479
We're going to find out on top of the ladder

170
00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:54,319
or at the bottom of the ladder.

171
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:56,639
I could. Could they climb ladders?

172
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:57,519
I can't remember.

173
00:07:58,319 --> 00:07:59,839
They must have because they got up here.

174
00:08:00,719 --> 00:08:01,759
I think they did.

175
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:02,399
I think they did.

176
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:04,000
All right.

177
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,680
So we will do something

178
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,040
when we get to the bottom of the second elevator level.

179
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,120
Right. You know, well, they wouldn't have been able to...

180
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,759
No. Okay. Yeah, let's go.

181
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:17,839
The elevator continues on

182
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:20,959
and after some time you make it down to this,

183
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:21,920
to the second level,

184
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,040
which the elevator shaft continues to go,

185
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,240
but it's a metal grate that you can see through

186
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,639
and Kavlaran would be able to see down as well.

187
00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:35,439
It looks like there's been a cave-in further down

188
00:08:35,439 --> 00:08:36,480
in this elevator shaft.

189
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,319
So this is basically the bottom of where the elevator can go.

190
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,039
Leading out of the elevator and down this far corridor.

191
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:48,559
As described, there is a rickety wooden ladder

192
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,879
that appears to be anchored into the walls.

193
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:52,879
There are a couple of broken rungs

194
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,480
and Pennin says you're...

195
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:00,879
Actually, give me an investigation as you're walking down.

196
00:09:01,439 --> 00:09:02,159
Oh, boy.

197
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:04,879
And trying to find signs of anything.

198
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:06,399
That's a 17.

199
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:07,600
Perfect.

200
00:09:08,319 --> 00:09:10,079
I have a minus one to investigation,

201
00:09:10,079 --> 00:09:11,919
so I was expecting that to go badly,

202
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:12,799
but it didn't.

203
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:13,360
We're good.

204
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:18,959
So you see quite clearly with your dark vision,

205
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:24,879
you see big gouge marks of what looks like claws.

206
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:26,799
Now, looking at the, you know,

207
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:29,600
thinking of the drawing that Bizard gave you,

208
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:35,120
these line up very similarly with what you saw in that drawing

209
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,879
and what you've heard of the Howler.

210
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:40,560
They have four predominant claws

211
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:42,240
that would be able to make these marks.

212
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:47,120
And as you look down into this ladder shaft,

213
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,000
it looks like this creature is able to scale the wall.

214
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,240
Like it's not using the ladder itself,

215
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,440
it's scaling the stone beside it.

216
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,240
Oh, hell no.

217
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:58,740
Okay.

218
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:00,720
Terrifying.

219
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,159
Glad I haven't lit my torch yet.

220
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,759
Well, you're going to be horrified in just a second.

221
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:10,080
I pull out, I reach into my tunic

222
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:16,159
and I pull out a many pointed star amulant from around my neck

223
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:19,120
and I channel my holy power through it

224
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,720
and I will use my eyes of night.

225
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,759
I will expand outward my ability to see

226
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,080
up to four wing creatures within 10 feet of me.

227
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:36,000
So that's going to be Cav and Bizard and Bondin and Bench.

228
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,840
All of you for the next hour can see

229
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:45,759
up to 300 feet in clear color in the dark.

230
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:47,120
Damn.

231
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,360
So basically now like the lights just got flipped on.

232
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:51,919
Oh, shit.

233
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:52,319
Cool.

234
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:53,360
Wow, that's very cool.

235
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,200
You should have warned his penance.

236
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:57,120
It's awfully sudden.

237
00:10:57,919 --> 00:10:59,600
I told you I could do something about this.

238
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,879
Yeah, look at these claw marks on the wall.

239
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:03,360
I don't-

240
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,759
That's not a spell I've seen.

241
00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:08,399
What is that?

242
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:09,759
What did you do?

243
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:14,000
Oh, that's just a little blessing from my goddess.

244
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,840
So that's the power of divine magic.

245
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Oh, very interesting.

246
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Very interesting indeed.

247
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:18,820
Okay.

248
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,200
It's honestly kind of surprising that you guys can manage to not have this

249
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,560
and still function.

250
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,840
But for the next hour, you can see like I see

251
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,240
and hopefully that will aid us in this little journey.

252
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,760
I would say so.

253
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,480
So with that in mind, Bondin.

254
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:35,920
Yes.

255
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,440
I need to be able to watch your back.

256
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:38,560
Yes.

257
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Do you want to put a leash on me?

258
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,420
Okay.

259
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:43,840
Yes.

260
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,520
Do you want to attach a leash to my backpack when I go to the grocery store?

261
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Sure.

262
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:48,880
With my mom.

263
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:49,380
Yeah.

264
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,320
Let me tie that onto you.

265
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,240
We can pull you back if you get into true trouble.

266
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,680
I'm going to be your guard here.

267
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:01,600
You're going to be going down first because you're the quietest and the smallest.

268
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:02,960
Okay.

269
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,600
It's going to be great.

270
00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:04,659
Okay.

271
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,879
And I have rope in my backpack.

272
00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:09,919
So I'm going to tie it on.

273
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:10,399
Okay.

274
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:11,200
And this is your end.

275
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:12,080
Okay.

276
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,720
We harness the boy up with some rope

277
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,759
and then I'm just going to hold one end to it and be like, you've got this kid.

278
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:18,259
Okay.

279
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:21,919
Can I go down the ladder now?

280
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:22,639
Absolutely.

281
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:23,139
Yeah.

282
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:24,019
Okay.

283
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,639
I start climbing down the ladder.

284
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:27,139
Okay.

285
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,399
Bondin's going first, followed by Penance, I assume.

286
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:35,200
Because you've got the leash on Bondin.

287
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:35,680
Mm-hmm.

288
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:36,399
I'll go second.

289
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:36,879
Sure.

290
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:37,200
Great.

291
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,240
Great, great, great.

292
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,440
Who's following behind?

293
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,519
If he's not immediately eaten, I will follow.

294
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:41,919
Roger that.

295
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:44,639
How long is the leash that is tied to Bondin?

296
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:45,440
I'll go third.

297
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,399
Desire to go through.

298
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:46,879
Okay.

299
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:53,279
So it is the standard rope in my backpack, which is 50 feet.

300
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:58,560
So I can climb down 50 feet and look around for y'all.

301
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:03,680
Should I roll perception or acrobatics for climbing down a ladder?

302
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,360
You can climb down the ladder, no problem.

303
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,480
I would roll stealth, though, to see how quiet you're being.

304
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:10,740
Okay.

305
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:12,419
10.

306
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:13,759
That's with a plus too.

307
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:14,720
This is going to go great.

308
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,220
Yeah.

309
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,960
This is going to go so great.

310
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:17,440
This is going to be so great.

311
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,720
So you're going to go, Penance, are you going to allow Bondin to go the full 50 feet?

312
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:24,180
Yep.

313
00:13:24,180 --> 00:13:24,680
Great.

314
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:25,180
Okay.

315
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:26,960
Cool.

316
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:27,460
Yep.

317
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,440
Unless I see something about to happen, I'll pull him back at that point.

318
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,639
But this is my old canary in our coal mine here.

319
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:36,639
Send the boy down.

320
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:37,139
Amazing.

321
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,360
Okay, so Bondin, you're going to go down.

322
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,800
I'm pink and shiny like a worm.

323
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,639
Bondin, you're going to go down.

324
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:46,879
Penance, you're going to see them.

325
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,440
They, you know, maybe continuously look back up at you and back down.

326
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,560
And once you kind of reach the edge of that rope, there's still a ladder below them.

327
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:01,760
So you would all have to, or at least you would have to proceed down the ladder for Bondin

328
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,520
to be able to reach the next floor.

329
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,240
Can I see the bottom of the ladder?

330
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,320
Yes, there's probably about another 25 to 30 feet below you before you'd be able to see out.

331
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,400
Okay, but I can see the bottom.

332
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:14,960
Yes.

333
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,460
Yeah.

334
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,520
And there's nothing moving down there?

335
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,880
Doesn't appear to be, no.

336
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,680
Okay.

337
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,080
I continue on with Penance behind me.

338
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,120
Yeah, I'll go the whatever distance.

339
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,000
I'll start descending a little bit down to make sure that the rope can keep going.

340
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:30,560
He can keep going.

341
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,060
Sounds good.

342
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,920
Okay, so yeah, Bondin, you make it down.

343
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,280
Penance behind.

344
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,520
Is everybody else hopping onto the ladder?

345
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,880
Are you going to wait for a call?

346
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,240
Oh no, I'll hop onto the ladder.

347
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,400
Yeah, I'll hop on.

348
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,920
They're blocking your exit, Penance.

349
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,720
I'm just saying.

350
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,560
I feel like that's against the rules.

351
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,400
I don't remember which module, but don't you want them to like, you know, make sure for safety

352
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:52,900
reasons?

353
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,040
It'll be fine.

354
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:55,840
It'll be fine.

355
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,320
Don't worry.

356
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,680
They're not, they're not one of them works in as a bureaucrat.

357
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,880
You shouldn't say it's a dirty thing.

358
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,640
Well, apparently not very stealthy, so you should be able to hear me up the ladder.

359
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,480
I was going to say this conversation is happening over 50 feet.

360
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,680
So like, if I can hear you, everyone can hear you.

361
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,840
It's a stage whisper more than anything.

362
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,279
With a stealth of 10.

363
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:27,120
So I hit the bottom of the, so I get to the bottom of the ladder and I jump off

364
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,159
and I look around.

365
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:29,039
Yeah, you look around.

366
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:31,360
So you have one direction to look.

367
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,360
You can look down the cavern, similar to the one that you just exited up above.

368
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,200
At the end of that cavern, which you can't tell the exact distance, but it's

369
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,320
give or take 75 to 100 feet down.

370
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:53,680
It looks like it branches off and rounds a corner, but you see a very dim glowing light

371
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600
from down at the end of this corridor.

372
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,600
Can I roll?

373
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,759
I don't know if that's insight.

374
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:04,160
Like I want to know what color the light is and like.

375
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,840
Yeah, it looks bluish and purplish.

376
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Okay, pennants.

377
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,320
Okay, so I'm here at the bottom.

378
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,080
I'm here at the bottom and there's a long, there's a long hallway.

379
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,240
And then there's a choice that we're going to have to make because there's two branches

380
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,800
to this path and there's a blue and purple light.

381
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:23,440
What do I do?

382
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,360
This wasn't in your book.

383
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Wait for the rest of us.

384
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,360
Well, for the rest of us, I'm assumed climb down too.

385
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,840
As long as you don't see anything down there.

386
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,440
So that's moving.

387
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,160
Nothing's moving.

388
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,080
When eventually we reach the bottom, I will in a sort of

389
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,960
soto voice hushed say now what's important with monster hunting is that you have to

390
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,120
be able to discern monster tracks so that you can follow them back.

391
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,560
So now you remember there's the giant slash marks you saw.

392
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,480
Do you see any of them down here?

393
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,680
I look around.

394
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,960
Which is yeah.

395
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,639
Can we do like a little bit of a survival check or a nature or something to see if

396
00:16:58,639 --> 00:16:59,360
we can find.

397
00:16:59,360 --> 00:16:59,520
Yeah.

398
00:16:59,520 --> 00:16:59,680
Yeah.

399
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,640
What do I want me to roll survival?

400
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,120
21 unnatural.

401
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:06,079
Dang.

402
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:06,559
Nice.

403
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:09,440
I only rolled a 13, but the boy is going to do it.

404
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,639
So it's fine.

405
00:17:10,639 --> 00:17:14,799
Well, it's very, very recent in your mind, seeing those and being scared of them up

406
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:17,919
top, you know, having been shot into that light.

407
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,079
But you see the exact same claw marks that power.

408
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:25,679
Maybe you saw them all the way down.

409
00:17:25,679 --> 00:17:27,039
They scaled up the wall.

410
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,240
They are all along the floor.

411
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,039
I look at the ceiling.

412
00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:31,759
Are they on the ceiling?

413
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:32,960
Are they on the ceiling?

414
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,240
Can they go upside downsies?

415
00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:40,000
They are not on the ceiling in this in this corridor.

416
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:42,079
They're not on the same guy.

417
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:44,160
They go down in this corridor.

418
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,279
They go down the path.

419
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,759
Looks like they're coming in both directions.

420
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,480
I'm still going to be 50 feet ahead of the group.

421
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,880
And so I'm going to walk 50 feet ahead of you guys.

422
00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:01,359
Still on my leash towards the light and towards we get until we get to the decision point.

423
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,160
We'll be right back.

424
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,240
It's the middle.

425
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,920
I miss starting with a song.

426
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,880
Well, it starts with a song every time.

427
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,720
No, you know what I mean.

428
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,160
With a Russ original.

429
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,720
With a live song performed for us.

430
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,320
Without any thought.

431
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:20,800
By Russ.

432
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Without any thought put into it.

433
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,840
Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

434
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,200
Welcome to the middle, everybody.

435
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,880
We're here now.

436
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,440
And this is just everybody's airing of grievances.

437
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:32,720
Shipping for stuff that's expensive.

438
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,400
Russ doesn't sing anymore.

439
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,680
Yeah, it's ridiculous.

440
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Why aren't Amy and I even in this episode?

441
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:39,680
I'm not sure.

442
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:40,720
Yeah.

443
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,200
Wait, why aren't you in this episode?

444
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,559
We may have been busy doing something else.

445
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:49,360
That's right.

446
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:50,799
Maybe seducing a dragon?

447
00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:51,200
Maybe.

448
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,600
Anything is possible.

449
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,240
We didn't.

450
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:58,160
Spoiler alert.

451
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:01,759
So Amy and Carla aren't in this episode.

452
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:04,000
But Christina and Ryan are.

453
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
And they are friggin' lovely.

454
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,560
And you should go listen to I Seduce the Dragon here.

455
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,440
Absolutely.

456
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,720
By the way, Amy and Carla are over in that feed right now.

457
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,080
Yeah, we are.

458
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,320
You get the full package.

459
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,240
They just had a live listen to the first episode of theirs.

460
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,640
Look at them doing more things than we do.

461
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,920
Thanks for being here with us.

462
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Cool stuff.

463
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,360
They're great.

464
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,080
Proud of them.

465
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,799
I'm really proud of them.

466
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:33,199
I'd like to say, the next one's going to be in like two weeks minus a day.

467
00:19:34,399 --> 00:19:36,079
I'm going to be there for that one.

468
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:36,879
Yes.

469
00:19:36,879 --> 00:19:38,240
Put it in my calendar.

470
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,079
It's all happening during the day and I'm teaching small children at that one.

471
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:44,960
I don't think playing it for my class would be a good idea.

472
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,519
But they did ask maybe for a time shift.

473
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:49,519
So maybe we can make it work.

474
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:51,759
So we'll go back to Jess and figure it out.

475
00:19:52,399 --> 00:19:54,639
But this has been a middle and a half.

476
00:19:54,639 --> 00:19:55,679
A middle and a half.

477
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,120
What you do get with us is sometimes live things.

478
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,920
Sometimes live things.

479
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,840
But also you get an episode dedication.

480
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,200
Like today's patron, Wendy Bale.

481
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,440
Thanks, Wendy.

482
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,560
Thank you so much.

483
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,519
Thank you, Wendy.

484
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,480
So you can join us at Patreon.com slash Dumb Dragon Cast.

485
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:22,799
You get The Adventures Of, which is the exclusive podcast over there,

486
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,359
which is six episodes deep.

487
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,119
And now once you get to season...

488
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:27,919
Six episodes.

489
00:20:27,919 --> 00:20:28,799
Six episodes.

490
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:29,599
Six seasons.

491
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:30,159
Doesn't seem like a lot.

492
00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:31,119
Six seasons.

493
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:31,599
Oh.

494
00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:32,159
Six seasons.

495
00:20:32,159 --> 00:20:35,119
Eagle-eyed listeners like Wendy caught that.

496
00:20:36,159 --> 00:20:36,799
Oh, yeah.

497
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:37,200
Yes.

498
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,720
Thank you for catching that.

499
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:39,919
Six seasons deep.

500
00:20:39,919 --> 00:20:42,079
And in season six, Kyle's there.

501
00:20:44,639 --> 00:20:46,480
But it's like chosen three.

502
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,839
Zero context for a lot of things if you start with season six over there.

503
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:52,399
Yes.

504
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,360
Like we don't hold back on like in-jokes in that one.

505
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:01,280
So you got to start with one and then go all the way through with that one.

506
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:01,680
Yeah.

507
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,880
Also you might like Russ's character more than you should.

508
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,360
So you need to start back at season one to really get the whole effect.

509
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:10,880
Really be filled with that disdain.

510
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,440
And you're not really going to get why Kyle's character is having the effect.

511
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,840
He is on Amy's character if you haven't listened to previous seasons.

512
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,600
So please listen to them all.

513
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,840
They're very fun and quite silly.

514
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,720
They are.

515
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,360
Very silly.

516
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:26,320
We have a blast.

517
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,200
And thank you, Tom, for just saying yes to absolutely everything.

518
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,240
Of course.

519
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,440
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

520
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,480
So we hope to see you over there.

We do hangouts.

525
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:40,320
We got this and a whole lot more.

526
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,520
Whole lot more.

527
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,040
Yeah, tons.

528
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:43,520
All right.

529
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,720
We'll let you get back to this episode where we're going down an elevator, baby.

530
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,440
Love you.

531
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,039
For nearly the whole episode.

532
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:01,759
So you can see that it's not Amy and Carla who have this effect on our group.

533
00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:03,279
It's just our group.

534
00:22:05,279 --> 00:22:06,640
Just take our time, OK?

535
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,039
Love you.

536
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:07,279
Bye.

537
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,360
Do I see anything 50 feet ahead of the group as I continue down this corridor?

538
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:16,960
So left, no light.

539
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,480
Right is the blue-purple light.

540
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,440
And as you get down to the end there, so everybody else is 50 feet back still, I presume.

541
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,400
That's why I'm yelling left or right, left or right, left or right.

542
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,680
Which way do we want to go, guys?

543
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,559
What do you see?

544
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:33,839
What do you see?

545
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:36,559
What do I see, Dungeon Master?

546
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,720
You look down to the left, which is the corridor that has no light.

547
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,160
And it looks to be like you see stone rubble.

548
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:56,000
If you take a few steps down, it branches further down and it looks like a cave-in.

549
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,320
I run back and then I go down the other one.

550
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:05,440
Looking back down the pathway that has the dim light, it appears to be getting brighter.

551
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:10,000
You see more of these scratch marks coming down from this direction.

552
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,880
You can't see the end of this corridor from your current position without progressing further.

553
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,480
I think the monsters came from this side.

554
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,040
All right. Well, if any of you have...

555
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,160
Jolly Sally forth.

556
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,440
Let's reel you back in and huddle. Let's do a quick huddle.

557
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,200
So we all huddle up and I say, all right, anybody who has any capability...

558
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,240
I take my earplugs out.

559
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,400
We're about... Oh yeah, that's true.

560
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,480
Anyone who has any capability of combat should get ready for that.

561
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,360
Okay.

562
00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:52,319
Just in case, in case we're jumped, these things like to attack in packs.

563
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:55,440
If you see one of them, that means there are others you probably don't see.

564
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,640
Coyote logic, you know, we had to talk about that.

565
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,440
Bench.

566
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:01,759
Yeah.

567
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:03,519
I don't know if I asked what you can do.

568
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,640
Oh, well, I make a really mean sandwich.

569
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,000
Fucking true.

570
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:10,480
Yeah.

571
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,360
Should we carb up?

572
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,120
Oh, gotta carb up.

573
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:15,280
That's why I brought this pick and neck basket here.

574
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,680
So I've got sand, I've got pastrami, I've got a ham and cheese.

575
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,240
I got a vegetarian.

576
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,400
Anybody not like the meat?

577
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:24,960
No.

578
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,600
No?

579
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,080
No, here.

580
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,360
Okay. Well, we'll put that one back.

581
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:28,880
No. Yeah.

582
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,200
Okay.

583
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:30,960
Yeah, I'll take it.

584
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:31,920
No, bizarre.

585
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,960
Oh, oh, you want it.

586
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,160
Sorry. I missed it.

587
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,080
You were speaking so quietly at the back of the cavern there.

588
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,040
I just have to plug in my hearing aid as well.

589
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:42,000
It's just what I need.

590
00:24:43,519 --> 00:24:45,279
And then what else do we got in here?

591
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:51,440
We got a pepperoni sandwich, which is a delicacy.

592
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,159
I want pastrami.

593
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:54,159
Yeah, you want that one?

594
00:24:54,159 --> 00:24:54,960
It's very good.

595
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,799
No, I want pastrami.

596
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:57,839
Oh, you want pastrami?

597
00:24:57,839 --> 00:24:58,639
Okay, sorry.

598
00:24:58,639 --> 00:24:59,440
Yes, yes, yes.

599
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,039
Okay, you get that one.

600
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:06,000
And everybody else gets what they get and they don't get upset.

601
00:25:06,639 --> 00:25:07,920
Here you go, here you go.

602
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:10,559
Okay.

603
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:12,000
But I brought a knife.

604
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,480
That's good.

605
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:12,960
Oh, yeah.

606
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:13,359
Excellent.

607
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:14,480
Yep.

608
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,359
Very good.

609
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,720
It is a butter knife.

610
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,200
That's good.

611
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,480
Do you have any other weapons?

612
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:19,599
No.

613
00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:20,720
It's better than nothing.

614
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,240
You can sharpen it on a rock.

615
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,119
Here, take this.

616
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,399
I pull out a dagger.

617
00:25:24,399 --> 00:25:26,399
I say it's a little bit sharper than a butter knife.

618
00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:28,879
But it works about the same.

619
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,679
So take that at least if you have nothing else.

620
00:25:33,679 --> 00:25:34,079
Thank you.

621
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:35,279
I have a quarter staff.

622
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:38,879
I know Kung Fu and I've taken penances, olive trees,

623
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,760
correspondence course on how to be a monster hunter.

624
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,000
Sounds like you're ready to go then, yeah.

625
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,160
The first thing that we're going to do is that you're going to bench,

626
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,480
you're going to hold that knife, you're going to hold that dagger,

627
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,360
and if anything comes close enough to you to eat you,

628
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,200
go for the eyes or run.

629
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,800
Whichever you think is most applicable for your skill set.

630
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,760
Love it, love it.

631
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,480
I'm here for it.

632
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,880
We're going to start sneaking forward.

633
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,600
Kavlar, Kavlar, what are your skill sets?

634
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,760
Do you have anything on your person?

635
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,120
I've got this here hammer.

636
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,040
And he pulls his hammer off his back.

637
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:13,920
It's a war hammer.

638
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,560
I know what I'm doing with it.

639
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,240
Okay, okay, okay.

640
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:25,600
Bazaar, other than the power of dance and costume changes,

641
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,480
how are you going to help?

642
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,680
It's like a sword dance.

643
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,040
And I pull out a scimitar and so a sword dance.

644
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,840
And of course, a little bit of the magics here and there.

645
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,840
You can't overuse it.

646
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,240
Otherwise, you know, it hurts.

647
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,640
But the sword dance works out fairly well.

648
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,680
How does it hurt?

649
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,480
Your feelings?

650
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,760
No, like physically.

651
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,720
You see the gray spots in my eyes is kind of that.

652
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,840
And I get a little trickle of blood out of the ear sometimes.

653
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,240
Last time we fought these, I used so much magic,

654
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,000
I vomited blood when I got home.

655
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,720
It was great.

656
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,440
So yeah.

657
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,280
I'm trying to stare into your eyes like way too intensely.

658
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,880
So I really want to like,

659
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,800
I'm just like trying to see the eyeballs.

660
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,280
Like, are there still damage there?

661
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,120
Every little spell, just a little bit of the green goes away.

662
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:17,920
So speaking of which, I'm going to cast Armor of the Weave on myself.

663
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,920
And of course, there's a little crest of a Bernhardt Swan school on there

664
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,920
because that's how you have to learn the spell.

665
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,840
It's their own copyrighted version.

666
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,080
It's their own copyrighted version.

667
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,240
There's a watermark on the spell.

668
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,440
Sorry, you only have a license for one Armor of the Weave.

669
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,360
You can't teach it to anyone else.

670
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:36,559
Was this Adobe Creative?

671
00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:36,880
Come on.

672
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:42,080
Yeah, pay your subscription fee for your freaking spell.

673
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,039
But no, I'm ready to go.

674
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:46,799
Should I continue to go for us?

675
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:47,360
Yes.

676
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:48,080
Go for us.

677
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,600
Again, stealth.

678
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,080
Quiet.

679
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:50,400
Okay.

680
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,240
I stuff my earplugs back in and have my quarter stealth.

681
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:54,640
Perfect.

682
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,680
You want me to roll for stealth?

683
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,200
I will give you another stealth here.

684
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,559
We've made it pretty far.

685
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:02,559
Like, let's re-up that chance to be a little sneakier from this point.

686
00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:04,559
Although, we've made a lot of noise to this point, so.

687
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:05,919
They're sandwich eating.

688
00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:07,440
We stopped to have a picnic.

689
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:07,919
Yeah.

690
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:08,399
Yeah.

691
00:28:08,399 --> 00:28:08,960
Well, you got to.

692
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,240
You got to carb up, bro.

693
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:14,319
It's what they brought me along for.

694
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:14,639
Right?

695
00:28:14,639 --> 00:28:16,960
You can't be encumbered by picnic basket weight.

696
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,679
No, no.

697
00:28:17,679 --> 00:28:18,960
We're going to leave that.

698
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,960
Maybe we could use it as a distraction.

699
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,799
I'm going to bring it with us and just see.

700
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:23,359
Smart.

701
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:23,759
13.

702
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,279
Unnatural.

703
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:26,960
Got an unnatural 20 on stealth.

704
00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:28,720
Maybe he should go for it.

705
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,119
Beautiful.

706
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,440
So everybody behind you is much quieter than you.

707
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:34,639
Okay.

708
00:28:34,639 --> 00:28:38,079
You're going ahead still with leash on.

709
00:28:38,879 --> 00:28:43,200
This corridor gets increasingly brighter the longer you go down it,

710
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:49,440
but you walk down for 100 to 150 feet before you are able to see an opening.

711
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,679
And it opens up into what you can see from a distance.

712
00:28:53,679 --> 00:28:55,919
I'm not going to place you right into this room yet,

713
00:28:55,919 --> 00:29:00,639
but it opens up from into this huge cavern.

714
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:08,720
And inside of this cavern, you see a crack in the far side of the wall.

715
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,880
And it appears to be where this light is coming from.

716
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:20,960
And it's this shimmering luminescence that looks like no light source you've ever seen before.

717
00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:30,400
I would like to roll investigation on the crack.

718
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,360
What is it that you're looking for in the crack?

719
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,680
I want more specificity about the crack.

720
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:36,180
Okay.

721
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,320
Yeah, give me an investigation roll.

722
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,800
It was 14.

723
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,440
14, okay.

724
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Like, like, like, like where?

725
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:44,880
Yeah.

726
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,080
Yeah, so it is.

727
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,800
Okay, yeah, it is on.

728
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,080
So you're standing, we'll say 15, 20 feet back from the opening

729
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,560
so that you're not directly in this room.

730
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,720
But it is on the far wall, which is going to be another 50 feet beyond that.

731
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:09,919
And it extends from the floor up above from where you can see.

732
00:30:09,919 --> 00:30:12,559
So you can assume that it's going to the ceiling.

733
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:15,839
And it's almost like it's pouring out like a liquid.

734
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:19,679
You can see the floor itself.

735
00:30:19,679 --> 00:30:21,359
It's not, there's nothing pooling there.

736
00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:23,440
So you can rule out the fact that it is liquid,

737
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,200
but that's what the illusion that it's giving your eyes right now

738
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,799
is that there's something coming out from somewhere beyond that.

739
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:32,400
Can I see the ceiling of this room?

740
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,360
Not without getting closer to the entrance.

741
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,200
I would like to walk up to the entrance of this room

742
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,200
and look around it, including up.

743
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:43,920
Okay.

744
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,920
You proceed forward another 15 feet or so.

745
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,920
What's your passive perception, actually?

746
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,279
12.

747
00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:54,720
You're focused on the light and then you're following it up to the ceiling.

748
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,399
And as you approach the entrance out the corner of your eye,

749
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:07,839
you see not swift, but you see movement often to your right,

750
00:31:07,839 --> 00:31:09,839
which gives you pause for a moment.

751
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:16,480
And there's a scratching sound that you hear next.

752
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:22,880
And it's almost like one of these creatures, much like a dog,

753
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,960
like flops to the ground and you hear this rumbling thud.

754
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,400
Do you poke your head around the corner

755
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,120
or does that give you pause to go back to your point?

756
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,120
I would like to run at it and hit it with my stick.

757
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,799
I will say, if he starts running, I'm gonna pull back on the rope.

758
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:41,759
I'm not gonna let the baby go too far off the leash here.

759
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,440
Are you holding at that 50 foot mark, Penance?

760
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:47,839
I am.

761
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:50,480
Okay, so I'm gonna run and with my...

762
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:56,480
Your Penance is gonna see me grab my staff and get ready to run and strike

763
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,079
and I'm gonna run full force and then I'm gonna be stopped

764
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:05,440
by my leash that I forgot about and fall back into the hallway.

765
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,400
I think you maybe get one, maybe two feet

766
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,720
and then yeah, you retract like Scooby-Doo style,

767
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,800
like bounce back into the hallway there.

768
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,240
Oh boy, here we go again.

769
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,120
I start reeling him back and to everyone else,

770
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,040
I'll start moving forward a little bit quicker and say,

771
00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:22,960
it's go time, everyone.

772
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:33,040
