15:53

We've got this beautiful screen. You guys want a place

15:55

to pretend? I

16:01

love this theater. It is gorgeous. This is

16:03

16:05

the nicest theater we've ever played in. Yeah.

16:07

Agreed. Take

16:10

that other theaters. Yeah. Anyway,

16:14

do you want to do a recap? Yeah.

16:17

Please recap last episode of detail. I'm gonna

16:19

do it. I'm giving you the whole thing. If

16:21

you could sum it up. It's recap time.

16:23

Some people haven't heard it. They need to

16:25

know the details. You missed it? All right,

16:27

we'll give you time to catch up and then we'll play. I

16:31

was still thinking of a porn name, but I'm going to

16:33

go with Rod Power Bro. Rod

16:35

Power Bro. That is so close to

16:37

the name of your Pathfinder character when

16:40

we first started playing. It combines a

16:42

bunch of them. OCD

16:44

play. Oh, how on

16:49

fun. Yeah. But it's clean.

16:52

But it's clean. Clean. A

16:54

lot less puddles than these. All

16:58

right. Three cap time.

17:02

Take it to the cat. As much as this

17:04

story has been about the journey of our

17:06

erstwhile heroes, it's equally

17:08

been about the journey

17:11

of this enigmatic hout

17:13

named Hout. Wow.

17:16

Good start. Really solid start.

17:20

Sorry, I was getting aroused thinking of OCD

17:22

play. Yeah,

17:26

fucking count. It's a journey of an

17:28

enigmatic count named Hazert

17:30

and Lyle's the fourth. Not

17:33

content enough to just run

17:36

his county. This count

17:38

wanted to be a respected scholar, but

17:40

he was laughed at by his

17:42

peers and nobody bought his books. This

17:45

led him looking into dangerous

17:48

knowledge, knowledge that no one else has.

17:50

I'll show them, he said. And if

17:53

he unlocks this knowledge, no one will

17:55

laugh at him anymore. Are

17:58

you fucking serious? We

18:02

were there, we know what happened. It

18:05

was literally a good day ago. There are

18:07

themes in the recap that are important for

18:09

the show they were about to play. Sure.

18:13

Where was I? Let me know when it's initiative. Every

18:17

GM's favorite player. Let

18:20

me know when we're rolling a new ship.

18:24

During this search for knowledge, it

18:28

appears the Count became infected by

18:30

a great old one

18:33

named Jomendor, this alien

18:35

god who is leading

18:37

him perhaps to find this

18:39

hidden city where ancient monuments

18:41

exist that can open a

18:43

portal for this alien god to

18:46

enter our world and

18:48

destroy it. We're talking the

18:50

apocalypse. Big

18:53

apocalypse fan over there. The

18:57

Count and his accomplice, an alchemist

18:59

named Myakkne and Munn, are heading

19:01

to a library of the occult

19:04

in the distant nation of Kadira

19:07

to try and find a book

19:09

called the Necronomicon which evidently

19:11

points the way to this hidden

19:13

city. Our heroes have been chasing this

19:15

Count across the world because some of

19:17

them used to work for him and

19:19

he did some fucked up things to

19:21

them. Just

19:23

a couple days ago in Kansas

19:25

City, our

19:28

heroes arrived in Kadira

19:30

and made their way to the

19:32

Mysterium. Four guards stood outside barring

19:35

their entrance. Apparently some shit went

19:37

down at the Mysterium and they're

19:39

not letting anyone in without a

19:42

written permission from their leader, a

19:44

woman named Elder Theor. So you

19:46

seek out this Elder

19:48

Steward. The Stewards are the protectors

19:50

of the Mysterium. She

19:53

explains to you that the Stewards had fallen on some

19:55

hard Times as a play.

20:00

You should have helped themselves out.

20:02

They were letting scholars come visit

20:04

in exchange for a donation. But.

20:08

They're screening process failed them.

20:10

Because. They let out laws in.

20:13

He and his crew went somewhere

20:15

in the library they weren't supposed

20:17

to go and it triggered the

20:20

libraries defenses normally or be the

20:22

end of it, but something went

20:24

horribly wrong. Out of fear tells

20:26

you there's an enchanted mirror on

20:29

the first level of the mysterious

20:31

meant to summon these creatures. Obscure

20:33

law known as Ceo My that

20:35

Pontiff's Any threats trespassers. One set

20:38

of these creatures. From

20:40

another dimension. Came through and apparently

20:43

has the count delve deeper into

20:45

the mysterious other words and protections

20:47

of the building where Bastard eyes

20:49

to as well. The.

20:52

Former leader Man name. Elder

20:54

lists seen. Went in with a

20:57

group to apprehend blouse and they

20:59

never returned. In fact, since Laos

21:01

is when and no one has

21:03

come out, I

21:06

don't believe you. Feel

21:08

Old Woman Elder Fear, says he

21:10

will allow you in if you

21:13

cleanse the buildings by entering it's

21:15

innermost sanctum, a place called The

21:17

Soul where you can reset the

21:20

buildings defenses while also retrieving Elder

21:22

Thier. Dead. Or alive. She's.

21:24

Been held or less seen, dead

21:27

or alive. For your to cleanse

21:29

the place by entering it's innermost

21:31

send them said et cetera our

21:33

leisure still be weird. Mama.

21:41

In order to bypass each level you

21:43

have to seek out for an selleck

21:45

statues on each for relied on like

21:47

this is a follow Plateau Gabby is

21:49

very cool. It is very cool but

21:51

do with the way you're speaking of

21:53

it I'm like this is going to

21:55

be. A. nightmare to your

21:57

dungeon crawl it's not utah takes

22:00

two seconds. You're talking about multiple steps.

22:02

That's all you gotta do. Find

22:05

four, four, what do you do? Remember

22:08

that, it'll be a fun call back when you do it.

22:10

That's the sound we should make when we're entering the innermost

22:12

sanctum. This guy. Whoo! Somebody's

22:19

a little thirsty. Old

22:22

throat Johnson over there is ready to go. That's

22:25

a good poor name too. What's

22:27

your specialty? You know what, I think I know.

22:31

You gotta find these statues, turn their heads

22:33

towards the walls that they're facing. There are

22:36

four on each level. When you do that,

22:38

it unlocks the passageway to get to the

22:40

next level. She

22:43

also tells you that there

22:45

are haunts within. Spirits of past

22:47

stewards that always lived in harmony

22:50

with the Mysterium, but they too

22:52

have been altered ever since Lao's

22:54

went in. What did Lao's do?

22:57

Or is it Lao's mere presence

23:00

that is changing things within? You

23:04

hear about haunts and you ask for

23:06

a priest to come with you as an

23:08

added protection against these spirits. Oh

23:10

god, I forgot. She says she

23:12

may know of a young go-getter

23:14

priest who may be up to

23:16

the task, man by the

23:19

name of Father Richard Bubbles. Ah!

23:23

So you return to the Mysterium. How can I fucking

23:26

forget about this? Yeah. And

23:28

we asked for it. You asked for it. We did, we

23:31

did. You specifically asked for an NPC to come with you.

23:34

So you head to the Mysterium with your writ in hand,

23:36

ready to enter, and Father

23:39

Dick Bubbles appears. Also,

23:45

Eris and Ethel have been having sex for a long time.

23:49

That's not true, that's not true. That's

23:51

not what happened. If you had paid attention to the content of

23:53

the story instead of smutting it up. They

23:55

had sex a long time ago. A

23:58

long time ago. No, no, no, no. Guys,

24:00

guys, guys, guys, they had sex

24:02

in their dreams, and

24:05

then they had it in real life once,

24:07

and it sucked. And the dreams was better than

24:10

real life. It was bad. It did not go well.

24:13

It did not go well, I think. That's the

24:15

perfect recap. What I felt was like, Apple

24:17

had trouble, you know, raising

24:19

the shields. Anyways,

24:26

let's take it to the Mysterium. In case

24:28

you didn't know, we've moved this adventure to

24:30

Foundry VTT. God

24:33

damn it! Let me

24:36

launch the game. Just give me 45

24:38

minutes. There's a time

24:40

out on this, son of a bitch, that

24:42

really kills you. Alright, ready? Downloading

24:45

World, David. Here comes the world, ready? Now.

24:48

Now. Yeah, look at that world. Now.

24:51

There we go. There we go. There's

24:53

our characters. Alright, so we see four

24:55

guards. We see four

24:57

guards. We see the five of you, and I

25:00

made a pawn for Father Richard Bubbles.

25:04

Oh, no. Oh my god. Oh, no. What

25:06

is that? Oh, no. Oh! Oh! Oh!

25:09

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

25:11

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

25:13

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

25:16

Apple, Beggin', and

25:18

she's in the

25:20

name of the father! That's exactly what I

25:22

pictured when you opened his mouth, honestly. I

25:25

am so mad that you did not clear

25:27

this image through copyright. I found it on

25:29

Amazon. I'm sure it's mine. Look

25:32

at that guy. That's Father Richard. Did you ask

25:34

AI to make this? No, I didn't. That's how

25:36

you thought. He's

25:39

like, it's hot out today

25:41

in Kadira. So he's

25:43

taking his shirt off in Canon.

25:45

He's just, he's kind of like,

25:48

ooh, it's hot out here. I

25:50

think it's important to note that the shirt comes off,

25:52

but the collar stays on. The collar stays on! Oh

25:54

my! You

25:59

asked for me! He says

26:01

that? Hold

26:06

there. So, Faire

26:10

tells me you are worried

26:12

about what lies within. Good

26:15

thing Father Bubbles is here. I

26:18

may be young. I may

26:21

have abs. But

26:26

I love the Lord. It's

26:30

good to hear. Padre, what kind of

26:32

skills do you have? Please! Call

26:35

me Dick. We're friends. Alright.

26:41

You don't have to call me Father. You

26:44

can if you want. Man

26:47

it! We're going

26:49

long. We're going high.

26:52

We're going high. Father,

26:57

can I just ask, what

27:00

skills do you have to add to our party?

27:03

Skills. Well, I'm

27:06

not much for a fight. So

27:08

I probably won't be rolling initiative. But

27:11

if you need some religious lore,

27:14

what do you want to know about what goes

27:17

on in here? I'm your man. What

27:19

about the tortured spirits they spoke of?

27:22

Do you have the ability to commune

27:25

with them in some way? To give

27:28

them peace? I will pray to my God,

27:30

Mathis, when I see

27:32

these spirits, that they will find peace.

27:35

But no, I have never disabled a haunt.

27:40

I'm hoping that today will

27:42

be the first day. I am level

27:44

zero. However,

27:49

in the eyes of the Lord, I'm level two. And

27:53

should I finish this part of the

27:55

adventure and come out, I

27:57

may be level ten. What's

28:01

your name? Me. Yes.

28:06

Eris. And then she pulls egg

28:09

out of her cloak. This is Egg. You

28:12

don't talk to Egg. Oh.

28:16

Do you believe in the one true god, Nethis? I

28:19

don't like you. Eris said... She'll

28:22

come around. They're about to

28:24

embark on a rather important

28:26

journey together. Perhaps giving

28:28

him the benefit of the doubt. I'm so sorry about

28:30

her. She's not really eloquent

28:32

in our ways. She's not really

28:34

from here. I'm Suki, Oriana, Sode. He

28:38

pushes out of the way. This... Hello

28:42

there, my radiant lady. This is

28:44

Pepsi. And

28:47

she reaches down the front of

28:49

her dress and pulls her medium-sized,

28:51

eight-foot, boa-constrictor out. Eight-foot,

28:55

boa-constrictor out. Well, hello

28:57

there, little fellow.

28:59

I didn't see you when I first

29:02

came up. It is a pleasure

29:04

to make your acquaintance, I have to ask. Do

29:08

you believe in the one true god, Nethis? No. That's

29:13

cool. That's

29:17

real cool. So what are we doing? Well...

29:22

To tell you the truth, I don't... I don't know. What...

29:26

what are we doing? Do

29:28

not. Can we go in

29:30

the building now? Oh! Hi

29:32

there! Wait

29:34

a minute! Are

29:37

you divorced? Oh. My.

29:40

God. I've actually been

29:43

looking for some spiritual counseling in this matter. Well,

29:46

you came to the right place because divorce is a... because

29:49

divorce is allowed in the Church of

29:51

Nethis. Really? Yes. In fact,

29:53

it's encouraged. It's encouraged. It's

29:57

encouraged. Huh.

30:01

What a church. Nethis understands that you can't just

30:03

be with one person for the rest of your

30:05

life. And the sooner you figure

30:07

that out, the better. I

30:10

think my ex-wife goes to your church. I

30:20

don't know that I like it. We

30:23

should talk. I can see that you're hurting. Perhaps

30:26

Nethis can ease your pain. And

30:28

you there. We should know each other's

30:30

names before we venture into this building

30:32

of knowledge. I suppose we should, Dick.

30:36

Hello, Dick? Yes. That's

30:39

me. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance,

30:41

Dick. I

30:46

didn't catch your name. Oh, my

30:48

name. My name's Eldo Kizemir. Hi.

30:52

I have some questions

30:54

about your religion. Oh, please,

30:57

ask away. Are members

30:59

of your priesthood meant to be

31:01

celibates? Or are

31:04

they not? Oh,

31:08

come on. What

31:11

kind of policies towards sensual

31:14

relationships within your clergy?

31:17

I'll be honest. I have not finished

31:19

the good book. And

31:26

what I've read so far leads me to

31:28

believe I can do what I

31:30

want. But

31:34

it's an interesting interpretation. Yes.

31:37

Maybe we could finish the

31:39

good book together in

31:41

our late night council. There's

31:46

something wrong with your coat, sir. I

31:53

just think he's not looking

31:55

at Aerith very studiously. I

31:58

just think I need to figure out a way to move on. Would

32:01

we all agree? I

32:03

would agree with I am absolutely

32:06

actually and walks over to you

32:08

any forces your head into his

32:10

chest. Press that justice system by

32:12

the hand of Memphis Do save

32:14

and I feel help a guy

32:17

do I do can go to

32:19

this Cymru. Back the prickly. Or

32:22

the head of Memphis. I will guide you in whatever way

32:24

you. All

32:27

right, we've exchanged pleasantries.

32:31

Gibbs Marcus. Earliest.

32:37

May have a reps from L

32:39

A C S. I

32:46

was approached budget that we'd been

32:49

bought up please. We're

32:54

going inside. It

33:02

is an old bit as and

33:04

it's getting very time sensitive. I

33:06

was given to wash my face

33:08

with Views is the him recovered

33:10

from kind of scented oil Assistance

33:13

as you approach the mysterious. And

33:16

there's this moment that kind of

33:18

feels like the end of Ghostbusters

33:20

one, as they're all approaching the

33:22

sand or building and there's no

33:25

portal up ahead. but there is

33:27

this thing. As you all sort

33:29

of approach and stare up at

33:31

this strange ancient building, you feel

33:33

the presence of something else and

33:36

you all start to feel dizzy.

33:38

For a moment you'd maybe you

33:40

lose your your balance and as

33:42

your teeth earrings on your feet

33:44

the world goes. Black to you

33:47

and you all see the same.

33:57

Thousands of yellows,

34:01

Losing out of a crack in

34:03

a puzzled was skinny to see

34:06

them. Look.

34:11

This endless stream of a

34:13

yellow slugs. And as you

34:15

watch this unfold in this

34:17

vision, you your voice whispering.

34:19

same voice that is spoken

34:21

to now since the mad

34:23

poets oasis that parts of

34:25

the ruin. Of

34:28

s use of this

34:31

poor it's more than

34:33

a bull lot. More

34:36

than the black

34:38

stars. Men

34:40

and Dads version is

34:43

Ross. They have pod

34:45

deep roots here and

34:48

that which should not

34:50

be. Has been

34:52

bird weird they

34:55

did this police.

34:57

Is worse. You.

35:02

Mosques. Blue.

35:12

Just. What?

35:14

Was that all about? Did

35:17

you see it? Did. Did

35:21

you hear a was no you

35:23

to seemed all get dizzy and

35:25

start to fall but it was

35:27

swooning at first he did not

35:29

see here it. Wanted

35:32

to see. Everyone

35:34

has a lot. Sorry

35:37

did not you at this moment was

35:39

you say my beautiful lady. But.

35:43

Since I'm. Okay,

35:46

how about another. Aura. Everyone

35:50

saw that cracks. Yeah

35:53

for all been Spoken says specifically.

35:55

it is the same voice before

35:57

the reheard months caress in the

35:59

as. with that tentacle

36:03

thing. It seeks

36:06

our help. It wants to be

36:08

saved. I

36:11

don't understand what it

36:13

could be but let's

36:15

try to save it. Let's not

36:18

go in Ethel. Let's

36:20

not go in... Ethel Pazzock.

36:25

Let's not go in swinging, say

36:28

to speak. But that's

36:30

what he does best. No swinging. No, I understand.

36:32

No, I mean, you can swing. No. Let there

36:35

be no swinging this day. Just be

36:37

clear, swinging and no, I'm not swinging. No,

36:39

no, no, you can swing but... Well, not

36:41

today. Well, perhaps today. Let's get to know

36:43

each other a bit first and then perhaps

36:45

I'm very confused. Look, all

36:48

of you, stop

36:51

stalling. We

36:53

have no way to truly know

36:55

what is beyond that door. Until

36:58

we open it. Suki. What? There

37:00

is no means by which we can prepare

37:03

for what we are about to see. We

37:05

must react quickly, communicate

37:07

well and keep

37:09

your head about you. Don't

37:11

believe everything you see. Don't believe

37:13

everything you hear. I

37:16

fear greatly what may be beyond that door. It

37:19

may set us up against each other. It could

37:25

set us against Father Dick. No.

37:29

No. I won't believe that.

37:33

Yes, something so tragic could

37:35

happen. I was hoping

37:37

to get some counseling sessions first. No. Let

37:40

us just enter, please. Stay close

37:45

and be clear about everything you see or

37:47

hear. Ethel. Open the door. Open

37:49

the door. We will commune

37:51

with Dick later. I kick it in. Ethel,

37:54

wait. I just cast heroism

37:56

on you before you do. How long does

37:59

that last? 10 minutes. Okay. Nice.

38:03

10 minutes pass and the guards slowly open

38:05

the gate. What

38:08

the? You

38:10

try to kick down the door and in

38:12

fact, as you get closer, the guards draw

38:14

their weapons and they're not taking

38:17

an offensive stance towards you, but

38:19

they just put their hand out as if to say,

38:22

oh no. And

38:25

they look very nervous and they're

38:27

growing increasingly nervous as they step

38:29

backwards towards the door. And you

38:31

watch as they cautiously unlock the

38:34

chains, remove the bars and

38:37

then they retrieve a key, put

38:40

it in the main door and turn

38:42

the key. And then they step back and

38:45

the door opens of its own

38:47

obstreffrin. And it makes this

38:49

unsettling grinding noise. Like.

38:54

And as it's opening, they just say, go, hurry,

38:57

hurry. And they practically like push

38:59

you into the building. Let me

39:01

open the door. Oh,

39:05

we got, oh, whoa. Whoa. They practically push

39:08

you in. And then

39:10

once you're all inside, they quickly withdraw

39:12

the key and the

39:14

door reverses and starts to close.

39:17

When you finally hear a closed doom

39:19

behind you, you hear them rushing

39:22

to replace the bars. You

39:24

hear chains being tied back

39:26

up and clicked. And you

39:28

know, as Elder Theor told you, they

39:31

will not let you out unless they

39:33

hear the bell tolling to signify that

39:36

you have reset the override

39:39

function in this place that

39:42

restores its defenses. Everybody

39:47

get inside. Here comes the bubbles.

39:50

And then. Oh

39:54

my. I

39:56

can sense that things have

39:59

changed here. I'd

40:01

like to say. Have

40:04

going Fucking

42:25

doors. First thing you see is

42:27

a placard that says University level.

42:30

Okay. Oh

42:35

and you look ahead and

42:38

there is a hallway leading for our

42:41

all intents and purposes north and one

42:43

stretching to the east past that brazier

42:45

beside you and one stretching to the

42:48

west. In

42:51

all three corridors there are doors like to

42:53

the west and the east you see one

42:56

door in leading

42:59

to the north on both sides and then

43:01

looking up ahead and then looking up

43:03

ahead you see several other doors

43:11

like three on each side leading

43:14

up and

43:17

what do you want to do?

43:19

Yeah he's still holding

43:21

on to Father Dix and you

43:24

may let go now myself. Atticus

43:26

from an exploration activity standpoint is

43:28

going to never stop casting detect

43:31

magic over and over

43:33

and over and over so wherever we're walking he

43:35

wants to know if there's he gets a hit

43:37

of the presence or absence of magic at any

43:39

moment. That is wise.

43:42

I did not say that out loud. Yes

43:44

I can see what you're doing with those

43:46

somatic components of yours. No

43:48

dick would be in really into that

43:51

I would thanks detecting magic. Yeah. Love

43:53

magic. Eris is doing the same but

43:55

she doesn't care what father

43:57

thinks. Look at you. Both,

44:00

don't you miss? I can't

44:02

help it's got a strange

44:04

situation. Their after. Tax.

44:07

Evading by definition an enthralling.

44:10

And he sees it. says.

44:15

Letter School. Lead

44:18

the way I am baba yes we

44:20

know about of the that considering the

44:22

backpack of the Lord. Carey

44:26

Me on your shoulders or I will.

44:28

Barbara yahoo her weight so we get

44:31

to a hazard. Got. A

44:34

father saw that they can ugly dick.

44:36

Breeze off whoever in here than in.

44:41

This. So

44:44

how's spurious? Take the thing off?

44:46

sick, do? You

44:49

fear so gorgeous when. You sit

44:51

Thank you. You're been inside them

44:53

Syrian before. Two

44:55

hours or as your have ever,

44:58

be careful there my songs. I

45:02

will remove the ability for you to control

45:04

your part. Of

45:08

their power. You

45:10

fit inside in the Syrian before class?

45:12

Dismayed. That's exactly what I'm

45:15

saying. How the I

45:17

didn't hear stop? Losing.

45:19

That's beautiful mouth of yours.

45:21

And listen and listen. Do

45:24

you know? Now. I

45:29

fear for your friend services. And

45:33

so stop. Walking before and make you

45:35

stop walking path or something the school than

45:37

in the. Way out or. Business.

45:43

With a bloody. So these only

45:45

level or not. This is one

45:47

of her. I

45:51

saw rise or walking. Amazon was

45:53

never mind. Yes, there are four

45:55

angels on a level. where

45:59

do you see is there is one

46:01

southeast. Yes, your

46:03

friend went wandering and

46:06

he has discovered one at the end of

46:08

the hallway. But let's proceed with caution. My

46:11

god. Elder

46:14

Thea warned me that there

46:16

are hounds in here. How

46:20

soon before we just kill him? Like how,

46:22

how wiggly. Oh dude, it's not even a

46:24

concern. The first thing.

46:29

Anything that resembles an encounter will kill him

46:31

instantly. What did you think would happen

46:33

when you asked for a priest? He is

46:35

level zero. Level two

46:37

in god. Can we go towards his angel for the love

46:39

of, for the love of nethis. Can we please go towards

46:41

his angel? Yes. Like we

46:44

are. Yes, sir. Stay

46:48

behind us. All right. And

46:51

we'll start walking. I'll follow Ethel, feed

46:54

the way Ethel. Sukey. Yes. Go with

46:57

Ethel. I'm trying to. My internet's not

46:59

working. Just

47:01

give me 15 minutes.

47:04

Sometimes it is hard to connect with

47:06

the lord. Hold

47:09

my hand and I will guide you. This

47:13

is all the museum. Your

47:18

hands are so soft. Are they elven? Yes,

47:21

and they're so faint. Never

47:25

mind. What? They're soft

47:28

from what? From what?

47:30

What are your

47:32

hands soft from? They're

47:35

soft from handling my

47:37

sake. This

47:50

is all you guys followed for Kansas City.

47:52

None of this started until you guys had

47:54

your rewired my

47:56

brain. There

47:58

are some people that might think I think

48:01

watching 30 and 40 year olds play

48:03

this game would be different from watching

48:05

six straighters play this game, but they

48:08

would be completely wrong. It

48:10

is exactly the same thing. We just have

48:12

a larger vocabulary to do the same thing.

48:18

Atticus is going to go up to this curve at

48:20

the corner and put his back up to it, kind

48:22

of. He can't quite

48:24

see around it. I see another angel.

48:26

Stop! Stop! Stop!

48:30

Nothing. Nothing. Turn

48:33

a tit. He's like all business kind of like

48:35

strike team. He just wants to like get it

48:37

done and keep moving and he's looking where early

48:39

around detecting casting detect magic.

48:42

Assuming something's going to jump out at us at any second. Can I

48:44

just touch it? Yes. Turn a

48:46

tit. Is it magical? Is it going to hurt

48:48

me? I do not detect any sign of magic.

48:50

There is no chance. There

48:53

is a hero chance. There

48:55

is a magical hazard of any kind here. All

48:57

right, Advil is going to try to turn the

48:59

head of the angel with the pommel of his

49:01

hammer. All right. So

49:04

you use the pommel of

49:06

your hammer to push the head of

49:08

the angel so that it turns to

49:10

face the wall against

49:14

which it is standing. And

49:16

it just like. With

49:22

ease. It turns towards that wall. And

49:25

when it gets in a place, there's like a takong. You

49:28

hear that echoes throughout the entire place. Takong,

49:32

takong, takong, takong, takong, takong.

49:34

Atticus and Apple give

49:37

me a perception check. Oh

49:39

shit. Sorry,

49:48

that math is just a bit much for me. That

49:52

is a 37. Yeah. Nice.

49:55

All right.

50:00

Zoom the map out. No.

50:03

So that you can see further up

50:05

this hallway that you and Ethel are

50:08

watching up. Or

50:10

looking up. Okay. I

50:13

love Valtry so much. The map

50:16

is so big. Yeah,

50:18

zoom in on that thing there.

50:23

All the way at the top or here? Right there. So

50:26

you guys look up the hallway. It's

50:28

the mirror. It's

50:31

the mirror. Oh no. It's got

50:33

a little pool like waving in

50:35

the center of it. It's a

50:37

pool looking... You right

50:39

when Ethel turns that,

50:43

you are looking around the corner

50:45

and you see something

50:47

step through that mirror. Oh.

50:50

Just like. A

50:55

clawed blue black hand comes

50:57

out followed by another

50:59

one. Followed by the body of

51:02

a otherworldly

51:05

hound. Followed

51:08

by a second one and

51:10

a third one. Oh no. And a

51:12

fourth one. Oh no. And

51:15

they turn and see you and

51:17

Ethel peeking down the end of

51:20

the hallway. Roll for

51:22

initiative. Come on. I

51:26

don't remember no cell check dude. Do

51:31

you want me to roll a new perception check for my initiative

51:33

or use the old one? You can reuse the one you have.

51:36

Take a look at these

51:38

Johnskies. Oh. No

51:41

you are sir. Wink.

51:44

Let's see if I can... Here's

51:51

51:54

And observe foes. I'll take the first

54:03

54:05

can observe any of them. I only see

54:07

shadow, so I don't think I'm going to be able

54:09

to do that. I agree. The one nearest to me. OK,

54:12

the one nearest to you, you're going to roll a demoralize.

54:14

This is against my will. Yeah. Wow.

54:26

What is demoralize? He

54:31

just said, bright and warm. I

54:34

want to see what the traits are. Ah,

54:36

OK. So demoralize has a trait that it

54:38

is immune to. It actually has a couple

54:41

traits. What, it's immune to mental? Don't worry

54:43

about it, O'Brien. Son of a bitch. What

54:46

did Eris get for initiative? A 21. Oh,

54:50

54:59

awesome. All right, so 21 total. That's

55:01

terrible. Yeah. Um, it's round one. Horrible

55:04

hounds. Only Ethel and

55:07

Atticus can see this. But Suki,

55:10

you're standing back there, and you

55:12

see his rat hair stiffen.

55:15

And then Ethel turns

55:17

after turning this angel statue, and

55:19

then you see a look of

55:22

abject fear. Just godless

55:24

face. He just unleashed a battle cry that

55:26

would have frightened it if it could be

55:28

frightened. Ah, he

55:30

said. Now

55:35

do you understand? Suki says. You

55:37

took the look with that. Hounds. The hounds of

55:39

hair. The hounds that come to the mirror. The

55:41

hounds that come to the mirror. OK, OK, OK.

55:45

Father Bubbles puts his hand right

55:47

above your wrist. Says my dear,

55:51

God and I are

55:53

with you. Thank

56:01

you. Um,

56:07

alright, um, yeah, I

56:09

can't really do much against Han, so go get

56:12

a metal, and she casts haste. Oh,

56:15

nice. And

56:19

Pepsi is going

56:21

to... interesting, where's Pepsi

56:23

on the map? He did not

56:26

come to Pundry. So

56:30

sorry. What? No! Pepsi...

56:33

How do you find a snake? Here you go. Yeah,

56:36

give me any old snake. There you are. Who cares?

56:39

That's an eel. What the? No,

56:41

it's not. It's a sea snake. That's okay.

56:43

Well, wait, I got a better one. Ready?

56:45

Tomato tomato. Here's a bottle of snake oil.

56:48

Thank you so much for this. Oh,

56:50

56:53

this. Do you want your Pepsi

56:55

bottled or draft? Oh, cool. Alright, this is

56:57

a cool blue snake. Thank you. Hey,

57:00

blue snake. Blue snake moon. Pepsi will

57:02

slither... Crystal Pepsi. Crystal Pepsi.

57:05

It's Crystal Pepsi. It's Crystal Pepsi.

57:07

Yes! Alright, the bottle's down. You

57:10

make me laugh, I'm saying. Pepsi

57:17

will slither... I

57:23

can't move him, but he will slither up... I'll give

57:25

you ownership. Two spaces in front of

57:27

Ethel. He's going to protect Ethel.

57:29

As soon as he moves. Yep, perfect. And

57:32

that's my turn. And that's your turn.

57:36

Well, now it's how Duong's turn. No.

57:38

Uh-oh. Troy, you always

57:41

go, how do you rename each of them?

57:43

Not this time! You babies.

57:46

Alright. We're

57:50

not one. Okay.

57:54

This one here is going

57:56

to go invisible. Swoooom.

57:59

Oh, yeah. See, this is what they

58:01

do! Thanks a

58:03

lot, HP Lovecraft, you fucking dick.

58:10

Anything bad that happens to us, we could

58:12

blame directly on HP Lovecraft. Yeah. Fucking

58:15

asshole. That was what

58:17

he did. Be better than him. That's

58:19

right. I think he didn't actually create

58:21

the Hound of the Chindler. No, did he not?

58:24

Frank Belknap Long. Oh, but he was inspired

58:26

by HP Lovecraft, right? Yes. There

58:29

you go. Fuck him! Okay,

58:35

and then don't worry what happens next.

58:39

It is now Atticus's turn. Oh,

58:42

Atticus sees one go invisible. He

58:46

thinks, oh, I know that trick. But

58:49

look at the rest of you. You

58:52

did not expect this. Perhaps

58:54

Lals was not properly

58:56

prepared. But I had

58:59

that. And he comes

59:01

up behind Crystal Pepsi

59:03

in front of Ethel,

59:06

and then past Ethel. Do

59:09

you see it? Does everybody

59:12

see it? What? His

59:15

hands swirl around as he gathers

59:17

the electric energy of a lightning

59:20

bolt and... Oh, shit! Oh,

59:22

my God! Oh,

59:25

my God! Heightened lightning

59:28

bolts in a 120-foot line. It's

59:33

all three Hounds as they stand

59:35

outside of the mirror. And

59:37

it's... There

59:43

we go. Love the light work, Mikaela! Do

59:46

I roll... What save? What save do

59:48

I roll? Reflex. Reflex, alright.

59:50

Which is gonna be... I'm guessing your best,

59:52

but it was three. There was three! Here

59:55

you go. Ah, first one rolled a

59:57

21. Real bad roll. Okay.

1:00:00

Second one rolled a 38. A

1:00:03

little bit changed there between the 21 and the 38. And

1:00:06

then the last one rolled... Oh,

1:00:08

fuck! Yes! 21,

1:00:10

38. Probably

1:00:13

a critical success, and then 24. I'm

1:00:15

sorry, what was the first one? Okay.

1:00:18

That's a critical fit! Yeah! Yeah!

1:00:26

Christian, show! I love Christian!

1:00:32

I got a half pound of brisket with

1:00:34

juice, sir! I

1:00:41

think this could be a real porno. I

1:00:45

know! I know! This has turned

1:00:47

into the porno version of this show. Yeah.

1:00:50

Like the porno... The

1:00:52

porno satire of our

1:00:54

live show, Strange Ann. Pizza!

1:00:56

Uh... I apologize.

1:00:58

Strange Annus or something. Strange

1:01:03

Annus. To

1:01:06

boldly go! What

1:01:08

do you want to do there? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I got it,

1:01:10

I got it, I got it. Did a lot

1:01:12

of damage? Yeah. Alright, so... I'm

1:01:16

using electronic dice for this. While

1:01:18

you're... That is correct. Okay. It

1:01:21

is... For the

1:01:23

hound that succeeded, it is 16 points

1:01:26

of damage. Was

1:01:28

that a critical with a 38? No. That

1:01:30

was a regular success. That is 16 points of damage. Okay.

1:01:34

The 28 takes 32 points of damage. Oh

1:01:37

yeah, oh yeah! I think I know where this is going. Electricity

1:01:40

damage and the critical fails 64

1:01:42

points of damage. Yes! You

1:01:50

smell bird dog hair. As

1:01:54

they scream! Have you ever seen a

1:01:56

better scenario for a 120 foot long...

1:02:00

in your life. Hey Joe, you know

1:02:02

what happens when a hound of

1:02:04

tinalones gets struck by lightning? The same

1:02:06

thing that happens to everything else!

1:02:09

Jeez! Can't

1:02:11

stop. Well,

1:02:14

you know what it comes down to? It comes

1:02:16

down to you taking the feet for improved initiative

1:02:19

there, or what is it called? Yes. Allowing you

1:02:21

to go first allowed them to stay in that

1:02:23

line. That is right. So, worked

1:02:25

out for what's in

1:02:28

your life. It's the first time ever!

1:02:31

What's in your life? When he had hound one go,

1:02:33

I was like, all right, did he do different initiatives

1:02:35

for all of them or are they all going because

1:02:37

they're all just vanished? I'll be like, shit. What would

1:02:40

your initiative have been before you took that feet at

1:02:42

level up? 35. Yeah. All

1:02:46

right, well, good news for

1:02:48

the team. It's Aldo's turn.

1:02:50

Yes! Okay. Aldo, Kazuma, yeah,

1:02:52

yeah, we can Aldo. Finish them all!

1:02:55

Oh, no, I can't. Yeah, they're too far away.

1:02:57

Yeah, they're too far away. You can delay. Yeah,

1:02:59

I'm going to delay. Yeah. Delay.

1:03:01

Love a delay. Let's hear

1:03:03

it for Aldo! Tactical! All

1:03:11

right, well, you're going

1:03:13

to delay. It is hound two's turn. Hound

1:03:15

two, the

1:03:17

one that got toasted. Goes

1:03:22

away. And

1:03:24

you don't know where I've gone. And

1:03:29

now it is Apple's turn. Come on,

1:03:31

Apple. All right,

1:03:34

I'm going to... My son! Yes.

1:03:40

May not this follow your every

1:03:42

step. Thanks.

1:03:44

Not that one. Every

1:03:47

step from here on out. Well,

1:03:50

here's the thing. I now do not have

1:03:52

the movement to get to them. That's fine. Don't go to

1:03:54

them. Let them come to us. I'm going to delay. Well,

1:03:56

yeah, because... There

1:04:00

are Pepsi's up there. I was gonna say

1:04:02

you could use an entire round to just stand

1:04:04

in front of Atticus. Depending

1:04:08

on how you're feeling about Atticus. I

1:04:10

mean, are you a hero or some

1:04:12

guy? What

1:04:15

are you, a jerk or something? You're not gonna... Atticus,

1:04:18

if you see him, say

1:04:20

something. All

1:04:25

right. Well, it

1:04:27

is another hound's turn. That

1:04:30

hound, just like his buddies. Yeah,

1:04:33

we have no idea what they're doing. Invisible.

1:04:36

Do we remember if they have attacks or opportunities? You

1:04:41

don't because we were playing two different versions of this

1:04:43

game last time. Two older

1:04:45

versions of this game. And

1:04:49

then it is the other one's turn. It

1:04:53

goes invisible. And

1:04:56

that is all you

1:04:58

see. Just make sure I did

1:05:01

that right. And then it's going to be

1:05:03

Eris' turn. And less Aldo or Ethel wants

1:05:05

to jump in. Joe and Sidney,

1:05:07

what are you guys talking about over there? What

1:05:09

did you share with the whole class? We're having

1:05:11

technical difficulties and we have figured out a way

1:05:14

to make the show go on. Just

1:05:16

because we're a couple of professionals. Any

1:05:22

more questions? Can

1:05:33

I see the initiative? Is that a thing? That's a

1:05:35

thing, right? I believe so. Oh,

1:05:37

nice. Look at that, guys. Foundry

1:05:39

VTT. VTT. VTT.

1:05:45

VTT. God, I love

1:05:47

this foundry shirt. This was a

1:05:49

lot of work. All

1:05:52

right. It is Eris' turn.

1:05:58

Can I do... knowledge check

1:06:00

even though I didn't see these things based

1:06:02

on like any description anyone gave me? Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh

1:06:09

I don't see why not. We knew about

1:06:11

that. She told

1:06:14

you. Elder Theor mentioned it so you

1:06:16

might have been like racking your brain. Have you ever

1:06:18

heard of these things? Have you ever read a file

1:06:20

of them in my life? In all that time you

1:06:22

spent in the man a waste? Or

1:06:24

in the dreamware? Yeah go ahead and give

1:06:26

me an occultism check. Oh

1:06:29

I mean okay yeah sure. Bum

1:06:36

bum bum bum. No

1:06:40

no it's very very hard to figure

1:06:42

out what is going on with these

1:06:45

creatures. Alright one action that one action

1:06:47

I want to cast shield on myself

1:06:49

because I think I

1:06:51

know that they might have all disappeared if we don't know where

1:06:53

they are. And then my

1:06:56

last action I'll aid

1:06:59

Ethel somehow.

1:07:02

How can I aid you? If

1:07:05

you see them tell

1:07:07

me where they are. If

1:07:11

I see them tell her okay. Alright yeah. Me and

1:07:14

Egg will keep an eye out and I'll let you

1:07:16

know as soon as one comes

1:07:18

out. Okay

1:07:24

round two. Suki.

1:07:26

Yes. It's your turn.

1:07:30

Okay. What are you eating? Are

1:07:33

you eating? You're like a chewing

1:07:35

right now. What are you chewing? Is

1:07:37

that brisket? Are you eating a brisket sandwich?

1:07:44

This is not a moment. There's

1:07:49

barbecue sauce all over your keyboard. She's

1:07:51

always eating it. You're

1:07:53

spilling barbecue sauce everywhere. sunshirt.

1:08:01

All right, Suki's... To

1:08:07

live in your mind. It's like worse than

1:08:09

the Mysterium.

1:08:12

I don't even

1:08:14

want to talk

1:08:16

to you. Suki knows

1:08:18

that there's danger down the hallway. She doesn't really want

1:08:20

to get into that danger, so she's gonna cast shield

1:08:23

on herself, take a page out of Eris' book,

1:08:27

and then she's gonna command Pepsi.

1:08:29

I know I'm putting Pepsi

1:08:31

in danger, but I want to make the

1:08:33

hounds appear so everyone can attack them on

1:08:36

their turn. So I'm gonna command Pepsi. Pepsi's

1:08:38

gonna move up... Like,

1:08:42

how far, Joe? Keep going. Keep

1:08:45

going. Pepsi's the one token I don't have control.

1:08:47

There you go. You can do it

1:08:49

now. Pepsi's gonna move up 30 feet, let's

1:08:51

just say. Okay. Oh,

1:08:53

30 feet. Yeah. Pepsi's

1:08:56

gonna get in it, because I want the hounds

1:08:58

to appear so everyone can do something on their

1:09:00

turn. Okay. This guy's a

1:09:02

fan. And nothing happens, right? Pepsi

1:09:04

doesn't run into one of them, like, they

1:09:07

don't... Nothing appears. Nothing happens. Pepsi

1:09:10

is alone. All right, Pepsi's

1:09:12

gonna bite at the air in front of

1:09:15

him. Good. That's a weird

1:09:17

thing to do. He's a snake. You

1:09:19

roll the attack roll and then the

1:09:21

flat check yourself. Okay. Hold on.

1:09:23

Yeah. Here we go. Nothing

1:09:26

happens. Okay. Does

1:09:29

Pepsi have scent? It was very

1:09:31

convincing. Oh, Pepsi does

1:09:33

have scent. Oh my god, you're

1:09:35

a genius. Oh, Pepsi has

1:09:37

scent? All right, talk to me about

1:09:39

scent. That's the best part.

1:09:42

It can sense creatures by scent for 30 feet.

1:09:45

All right, then let's take you back. Yeah,

1:09:48

let's go back, because he would know. Would

1:09:51

you move 30 feet up? 30 feet in a straight

1:09:53

line. All right, so let's go back. Right in front.

1:09:55

Yep. All right, so Pepsi,

1:09:57

you're there. Yes, take you back in the

1:09:59

morning when I'm here. those hounds to

1:10:01

spear, you started to smell

1:10:03

them all

1:10:05

around you. It smelled like they're not.

1:10:08

Whoa! It's like they just... Oh wait,

1:10:10

what? It's like they moved in

1:10:12

space to right next to you, all around

1:10:14

you, all around your friends. They

1:10:17

are invisible and right next to you! No!

1:10:20

With spear in his eyes, because he can't talk as

1:10:22

he's a snake. Looks around like

1:10:24

this. And you know what a scared snake looks like.

1:10:29

Can Pepsi's head at each of the swears perhaps? It's not a pointing

1:10:31

snake. I don't know if Pepsi hits something,

1:10:34

I'll say you recognize that it hit something.

1:10:47

If Pepsi smells a snake to

1:10:49

his left and to his front and to his right,

1:10:51

you just said that. Which squares are

1:10:53

talking? He can smell it.

1:10:55

Meg also has life sense and can

1:10:58

communicate with Aerith. Oh. She

1:11:00

can call her when it's awesome. She's so bizarre. I

1:11:02

forgot about that. With all their lives. Tell her

1:11:04

the square, Troy. Alright, so

1:11:06

cinema sensing creatures by smell,

1:11:08

it's usually a vague sense.

1:11:10

So I think you would

1:11:12

know what square. Oh yeah.

1:11:15

But you still have to roll the flat. You see

1:11:17

11 flats. Alright, so... It's

1:11:19

amazing, this stupid snake is actually

1:11:21

also... Holy shit, I mean what...

1:11:23

Pepsi! Pepsi! Pepsi! And

1:11:25

let's not forget... I know Pepsi's not Pepsi. This is a coat

1:11:27

down. We went shopping

1:11:29

and Pepsi is wearing

1:11:32

armor, so this is awesome. Sorry.

1:11:42

Payed extra for the DLC. This stupid snake. Alright,

1:11:46

so you know that there

1:11:48

is a creature right next to you, to the right.

1:11:50

You know there is a creature diagonally

1:11:53

next to you, to the northwest. Wow.

1:11:56

And you have 30 feet. Yeah. You've got

1:11:58

actions, right? You just tense it. There

1:12:00

is one directly next to F. Oh

1:12:02

my god! And then there is one

1:12:05

diagonally next to F. Holy shit! I

1:12:07

would say... I've already done it.

1:12:09

Yeah. Sorry, the one... I would say it would

1:12:11

know only if it's in the five foot square

1:12:13

right next to it. But otherwise it could sense

1:12:16

that they're within 30 feet and the direction... Well

1:12:18

it's too late, you know. It's too late now.

1:12:20

And it's fine. I think that this snake has

1:12:22

never done anything interesting. That's true. Let's

1:12:25

give it this. It needs this. The

1:12:28

most interesting thing it ever did was fly on

1:12:30

an arrow in a

1:12:33

naval fight and that was basically retconned.

1:12:35

And it was retconned. And you

1:12:37

took that away from me too. Yeah,

1:12:40

for very valid reasons. This

1:12:42

is amazing. You said, sorry, you said

1:12:44

the one next to Ethel is right behind Pepsi,

1:12:47

right? No. The ones next

1:12:49

to Ethel are you'd have to move to. But

1:12:51

there's two directly next to you. Yep, so I

1:12:53

will go to the one that is next to

1:12:55

Aldo then wanting to protect Aldo and Pepsi just

1:12:58

lunges to the right and nobody knows what he's lunging at

1:13:01

and he's going to try to bite. Okay.

1:13:03

So I'm doing... I'm going to roll it. You roll.

1:13:06

Alright, so it's a flat check. What's your to hit? My

1:13:08

to hit is plus 17. Okay. I

1:13:11

rolled a natural 20 on the flat check. Oh!

1:13:13

Oh! And

1:13:17

a natty 18 on the net. Yeah! Holy

1:13:21

shit, Pepsi! On a blood sweat

1:13:23

and beyond. Where did we get

1:13:25

these moments? This is insanity. Alright,

1:13:28

so Pepsi challenge! Pepsi challenge! Striking

1:13:32

at the one that is to the northwest of you, how

1:13:34

much damage you can roll the damage. So

1:13:37

that's going to be... I

1:13:40

can't believe this shit. 14

1:13:42

points of piercing damage. Yeah! Okay.

1:13:46

Piercing damage, you say. Yes. Let me

1:13:48

just check something real quick. Alright.

1:13:51

You feel like all that damage doesn't

1:13:53

go through? Cool. Oh,

1:13:55

really? Does

1:13:57

it become visible? No.

1:14:00

Cool, I bite it again. Okay,

1:14:02

what's your to hit now with the map? Plus

1:14:05

12. Okay, you

1:14:08

missed, but I want you to know that I rolled a nat 20

1:14:10

on the hit. Oh

1:14:12

wow. And a nat 3 on the flip.

1:14:15

Oh. It

1:14:19

is... Is that it in your turn? Yep.

1:14:23

It is... Ethel sir. Ooh.

1:14:27

Oh, oh. So to aid you, I

1:14:29

tell you that there's two next to you. All right. I

1:14:32

can tell you there's one right to your left and

1:14:34

behind you. Okay, I'm going to attack the

1:14:36

one that's directly between me and Eris. Father

1:14:39

bubbles steps between Suki and Eris

1:14:41

and puts

1:14:43

his arms around them. Don't

1:14:45

be afraid, my lady. Everything

1:14:51

is going to be all right. Eris

1:14:54

turns around and hits his head. Are

1:14:58

you rolling for me or am I rolling for you? What are you

1:15:00

doing? I was busy being

1:15:02

sexy. Get

1:15:04

out of here, you erotic bastard! Attacking the

1:15:06

space next to you, what's your to hit?

1:15:08

I'm doing a double slice, so you're going

1:15:10

to roll two attacks with your flat check.

1:15:12

Okay. Plus 25 and plus 23. There

1:15:15

you go. Okay. They both miss.

1:15:18

I'm a flat check? You don't know, bro. I told

1:15:20

her to make her feel bad. Oh. Thank

1:15:24

you. Take

1:15:27

the compliment, Matthew. Thanks. All

1:15:29

right. Okay, I will

1:15:31

roll a third attack with the war hammer at

1:15:33

a plus 15. Third attack

1:15:35

with the war hammer at a plus 15. I

1:15:39

think that is a hit. Oh,

1:15:42

nice. My

1:15:45

war hammer is now a greater

1:15:47

striking frost war hammer. Nice. That

1:15:52

is 22 points of bludgeoning. I

1:15:57

feel like all of that didn't go through.

1:16:00

Three points of frost. I

1:16:02

feel like the frost went through. And

1:16:05

then Ethel is going to move. I'm

1:16:09

going to move to stand between Eris and these

1:16:11

two. It's going to take the long way. Wait,

1:16:15

you moved through the face. No, I

1:16:17

go around. I'm just

1:16:19

going to take... Now you don't want to play with your pawn

1:16:21

and move correctly. So

1:16:24

he doesn't provoke. No, I would provoke.

1:16:26

So he provokes, but there is no

1:16:28

AO. Does the creature do an

1:16:32

attack of opportunity on you? It

1:16:34

does not. Do

1:16:41

you want to go Aldo or do you want me

1:16:43

to go? I'm

1:16:45

going to let you go. What a gag. Yeah.

1:16:48

Throwing bombs at invisible opponents doesn't

1:16:50

seem like the

1:16:53

smartest thing to do. All right, here's what's

1:16:55

going to happen. This might be good for you

1:16:58

guys because this one appears right next to Pepsi.

1:17:03

Whoa, that's a cool box. And

1:17:06

it goes to strike Pepsi

1:17:08

with its head

1:17:11

jaws. Come on up. Come

1:17:14

on up. No. Oh

1:17:16

no. Oh no. Some

1:17:19

snakeskin boots because that

1:17:21

is a 36 to hit. Oh

1:17:24

no. Okay. It's a hit. It's not

1:17:26

a crit. Hit not a crit. Hit

1:17:28

not crit. Sorry, just give me a

1:17:31

second. I'm going to find my D10. Never

1:17:34

rolled D10s for damage. They're always hard to find. Hold on.

1:17:37

Oh, that was a 10. And that one

1:17:39

was close to a 10. This is going to

1:17:41

be a total of 24

1:17:43

points of piercing damage. Okay.

1:17:47

You're also flat-footed on that

1:17:49

first attack, but now it's invisible. I

1:17:52

don't want to do here. I'm

1:17:55

going to bite you again. Okay.

1:17:57

Dirty old snake. You want to be the

1:17:59

vanguard? You're going down.

1:18:01

How's a 29? Fuck. Do

1:18:05

anything for it. I should have got the

1:18:07

heavy-barding. That's that hit. That

1:18:10

hit? Don't worry, it's only 19 points of

1:18:12

piercing, here. And because

1:18:14

you're up there, I'm striking again! And

1:18:18

I miss. Cool. Ow.

1:18:21

And that is the Hound's turn. Atticus's

1:18:24

turn. Atticus, you know, from Pepsi. And

1:18:27

the life sense and everything, there is a Hound

1:18:29

directly to the north of you. You

1:18:32

see a Hound opposite you, behind

1:18:34

Pepsi. Yeah. This

1:18:37

is a tricky situation, but I

1:18:39

think... It's a very interesting situation.

1:18:41

Very interesting situation. Uh,

1:18:44

I think... Yeah, I think in order

1:18:46

to be safe... A very interesting situation.

1:18:48

He's got it. He's got it all.

1:18:50

Right there. Ah, I think Atticus is

1:18:52

going to feel their presence all around.

1:18:54

He knows Pepsi is sensing them. He

1:18:56

can see this happening. Ethel swinging at

1:18:58

the air, making contact with something. And

1:19:01

he is just going to... Oh,

1:19:04

I know this trick. You can see

1:19:06

right through it. And he's going to

1:19:09

cast See Invisibility. Oh,

1:19:11

hell yeah! Just start. So,

1:19:13

See Invisibility, which means, oh man, wouldn't

1:19:15

it be cool if we

1:19:17

could put that on Foundry? I bet you you can.

1:19:20

And we just don't know how. So,

1:19:22

he absolutely sees them, but they are

1:19:24

concealed to him. They are like misty

1:19:27

shapes. So he would still have a

1:19:29

DC5 flat check. You know where they

1:19:31

are. But he knows exactly where they

1:19:33

are with no question. Can

1:19:37

I... So you say there's one directly above me. Alright, here's

1:19:39

what I'm going to do. Just be cool. I

1:19:41

am going to... Be cool, dude. It would be cool? I'm going

1:19:44

to be cool. I'm going to like... Be cool! Put

1:19:46

lights where they are. Oh,

1:19:50

that's something I can barely see. Cool. Oh

1:19:54

yeah, you can. That's a

1:19:57

little to no benefit. Thank you. I

1:20:00

make them red lights. Oh,

1:20:03

okay. And

1:20:06

then I think Atticus, he is not

1:20:09

going to

1:20:11

do the heroic thing.

1:20:13

I think

1:20:28

he's seeing this situation. Oh, shit.

1:20:33

It's going to get out of there. But he's going

1:20:35

to be very clear and communicate where everything is. This

1:20:38

one that's in the north. Get behind me.

1:20:40

Two in front of you. And

1:20:43

yeah, he's going to move out

1:20:46

of there. So that

1:20:48

will be unfortunately his third action.

1:20:52

I'll be moving over behind

1:20:54

Suki. Cowardly moves behind Suki.

1:20:57

Father Dix says, dude, he is. It's all

1:20:59

right. My character.

1:21:02

It's all right. Little fella

1:21:05

battles are how you know what. I

1:21:08

did not realize this horror I would be left

1:21:10

next to. I need to

1:21:12

rethink my turn. Just stay up there and get killed.

1:21:14

It would be better. Battles

1:21:20

are scary here. I have this for

1:21:23

you. Jeez. It

1:21:30

is. I had an extra action. I

1:21:33

cast Phantasmal Killers so fast. All right.

1:21:35

He's just going to delay

1:21:37

on murdering this guy. I'll

1:21:40

hold on to this. You'll

1:21:43

be all right. It is

1:21:46

Aldo's turn. The most raddest thing I've

1:21:48

ever heard. You're an anti-ratist. After

1:21:53

turning the head of that angel statue, there

1:21:55

is now like this aura emanating off of

1:21:57

it to sort of let

1:21:59

you know. that that one has been activated.

1:22:01

But it's Aldo's turn,

1:22:03

Aldo, you delayed, now you see

1:22:06

one of these creatures actually as

1:22:10

you leave. The

1:22:12

eyes of this creature seem to follow you

1:22:15

like a round corner. And

1:22:18

its gaze is tearing to

1:22:20

your very soul. Give me

1:22:23

a fortitude save. I

1:22:25

is fixed on Rivendyne. I

1:22:28

think we all know what wizards are best

1:22:31

at. Fortitude.

1:22:33

That's right. Bad

1:22:37

move, LaVellie. What

1:22:40

a fool. Alright, let's go to, should

1:22:42

we go to some Austin Dye? Should

1:22:44

we go to some Austin Dye? Come

1:22:46

on, I gotta shout out Georgia. Austin

1:22:49

Dye as we die in Austin. Georgia

1:22:51

from Australia, I feel like I'm in

1:22:53

Forrest Gump. She's right there! That's right

1:22:56

there! Who

1:22:59

gave me this amazing gift. Her

1:23:01

gift was a dye I never had

1:23:03

to touch. Oh,

1:23:05

that's good. That's good.

1:23:08

And it lights up. You can't see what the

1:23:10

stage lights, but look at that shit. It lights

1:23:12

up. Alright, so I'm just going to shake this,

1:23:14

on and this is going to be my fortitude

1:23:16

save. Yeah. Are

1:23:19

you confident? She

1:23:22

wants us to come to Australia. I think the

1:23:25

result of this role will depend on us. We'll

1:23:27

determine if we go to Australia or not. This

1:23:29

will determine fortitude. Let's

1:23:31

go! Shit! Wow.

1:23:37

So it's proven it is your aura. I

1:23:39

mean this is... It's not your touch. It's

1:23:41

hilarious. I don't think, I don't

1:23:44

think we're in bottle cap territory. That

1:23:46

is going to be a 24. That

1:23:48

is a fail. Of course it

1:23:50

is. You take 20 points of

1:23:52

slashing down. Oh no. Just from

1:23:54

its gaze? Its gaze is like,

1:23:56

something about it looking at you

1:23:58

is like... tearing at

1:24:01

wounds within you, like unseen

1:24:03

wounds. That

1:24:05

is so fucking cool. 20 points

1:24:07

of slashing damage. I love

1:24:09

fantasy role playing! I also have

1:24:12

your house. Shit.

1:24:22

Uh, how the fuck, man? Yeah,

1:24:24

this is a very, very, very,

1:24:27

very situation. I

1:24:29

don't know what to do here because I think

1:24:31

I might actually have to still keep delaying because

1:24:33

this is

1:24:36

really tough. Like I can't, this one

1:24:38

opponent that I know where, I

1:24:40

could see them. I can't see them where I

1:24:42

am right now. I'd have to move into position

1:24:44

to actually see them, but if I did, I

1:24:47

would be exposing myself to attacks

1:24:49

of opportunity or from

1:24:51

the ones that I can't see. So

1:24:54

I could also see on the initiative tracker, like

1:24:56

these hounds are coming up, so like you could

1:24:58

wait for one of them. Yeah, that's a little

1:25:00

metagamy, but it's so smart. Yeah, I think. And

1:25:03

it's actually not that metagamy because you're

1:25:05

like, make yourself visible, you know? Yeah,

1:25:07

and it's not like super metagamy. It's

1:25:09

like when you're thinking your character, like

1:25:11

in the midst of this happening, has

1:25:13

a better feel for the rhythm of

1:25:15

what's happening in the combat than like

1:25:18

we do looking at it. Yeah, and I'm

1:25:20

not represented by the initiative, but it's just

1:25:22

like this. And I also think that completely

1:25:24

non-metagamy, like you are way more likely to

1:25:26

throw at something you can see than

1:25:28

to just throw a bomb into thin air.

1:25:30

Throw a bomb of bottled

1:25:33

lightning at someone next to

1:25:35

one of my employees, I

1:25:38

guess. I'm a

1:25:40

valued employee. Right. Valued. Yeah,

1:25:42

the valued employee. We love

1:25:44

him, but you know,

1:25:46

I'm going to delay. I'm going

1:25:48

to delay. You're going to delay. All right. Another

1:25:51

one appears. Oh, it being red.

1:25:53

Dude, it looks so cool in the red light. Well,

1:26:01

actually, before I get to that, Aldo,

1:26:03

same thing that happened to Atticus,

1:26:05

happens to you, that creature that's

1:26:07

around the corner, it's gaze seems

1:26:09

to tear into your very being,

1:26:12

give me a fortitude. Oh, is

1:26:14

there, do I get a

1:26:16

bonus from me not

1:26:18

wanting that to have happened? You

1:26:23

do, but it doesn't count. Okay. So

1:26:27

what is it, a fortitude? Fortitude save, yeah. Okay,

1:26:31

that's good, you're going to take

1:26:33

five points of damage. Not

1:26:36

too shabby! Not too shabby.

1:26:39

However, this other one comes up and

1:26:41

it becomes visible as it goes to

1:26:43

bite you, Atticus. Aldo,

1:26:46

you mean? Excuse me, Aldo.

1:26:48

However, I'm looking here, I'm going

1:26:51

to move in such a way that doesn't provoke

1:26:53

from the move. It doesn't matter

1:26:55

because you were invisible during the move. That's right, thank you.

1:26:57

To be honest, that's why you have

1:26:59

a bottle cap. All

1:27:02

right, here comes its jaws. A

1:27:04

terrible roll. Yes!

1:27:08

22, miss! Yes! Another one, I guess.

1:27:12

Sorry, let me see where I am here. Okay,

1:27:16

and then I'm going to

1:27:18

try to bite you again.

1:27:21

I rolled a d10. I just saw that.

1:27:24

It was really weird. Don't look at my nice

1:27:26

dress. I don't look at your numbers,

1:27:28

but I saw an odd-shaped die go into the thing.

1:27:30

All right, this is going to be a 24. That's

1:27:34

enough of me! All right, too big. No!

1:27:37

Too big, too big, too big. No, you're saying?

1:27:39

A sloppy missus. All right, so now Aldo,

1:27:41

do you want to go? Now

1:27:43

I will go. You want to go? You

1:27:46

want to go, dude? All right,

1:27:48

so Aldo is going to take

1:27:50

a little five-foot step back with

1:27:52

his action. Okay.

1:27:55

And then with his second action,

1:27:58

he's going to howl. They're

1:28:02

playing it up for Georgia. Perfect. For

1:28:04

the second action, I'm going to throw

1:28:06

her. I feel like she's home. Really

1:28:08

playing it up. I

1:28:10

just wanted to feel homesick. I'm going

1:28:12

to throw her. Stop

1:28:15

it. My

1:28:18

new, one of my new

1:28:20

formula is a great

1:28:23

cup of lightning.

1:28:26

Oh my god. How

1:28:29

did it feel? I

1:28:33

just, Georgia is laughing so hard. I

1:28:35

think this is working. We

1:28:39

watched one of the concords backstage. I think it really hit

1:28:41

up. We were

1:28:43

just watching. That

1:28:45

is I-35 to hit. That

1:28:49

is a hit. Yeah.

1:28:53

What kind of damage is this? Well, I

1:28:56

have to explain because

1:28:59

I'm so happy. With

1:29:01

our monetary rewards that we

1:29:04

were able to procure from

1:29:09

our inventurings, I

1:29:12

purchased a rune

1:29:15

of Grykha striking for

1:29:18

my Bendelier Throwers

1:29:21

Bendelier. Wow.

1:29:26

My triple damage dot for Bumsown. I sound like

1:29:28

Michael Palin doing it. I

1:29:30

really do. I

1:29:33

like Shayla. Was that a bottle of lightning?

1:29:35

Good eye, Bruce. That

1:29:39

is 44 points of damage. What

1:29:42

kind of damage? 44

1:29:44

points of electricity damage. All right.

1:29:48

You fucking kill it. Yeah.

1:29:52

Wow. Oh,

1:29:55

hell yeah. Yeah. And

1:29:59

as it goes... eyes. It's very

1:30:01

very strange. Like as it's

1:30:03

slain it like erupts in

1:30:05

this frenzy of ripping

1:30:07

and frail, breaking bones

1:30:10

and a terrible shriek that

1:30:12

sounds like tearing metal. It's

1:30:14

just like ahhhhh!

1:30:18

That's it. Wow. Tearing metal. What

1:30:20

is so weird? What is that?

1:30:23

I don't want to hear it. One down, three to go. Okay.

1:30:26

Oh wait, it didn't hurt anyone though? No, it

1:30:28

didn't hurt anyone. It just grows in weird. Alright

1:30:30

cool. Dramatic. Alright so,

1:30:32

I don't

1:30:34

really... What

1:30:39

are things you can do with actions?

1:30:43

Aid, knowledge check. Aid, knowledge check. I

1:30:46

am going to do, yeah I'm going

1:30:48

to do a knowledge check. Okay. I

1:30:50

am going to do an occultism knowledge

1:30:52

check. Okay. Oh!

1:30:58

That is a 35. 35. Okay, that is enough.

1:31:00

I can

1:31:05

give you a bit of information here.

1:31:07

What's one thing you'd really like to

1:31:09

know? Errrr... Persistences, immunities,

1:31:13

social security numbers. Do

1:31:15

you have

1:31:18

a pen? I would really like, I'd

1:31:20

love to steal their identity. Mothers

1:31:25

made a name and so, no.

1:31:27

We could use that information to give you

1:31:29

become a sleeper agent in whatever realm they

1:31:31

come from. You enter the country illegally.

1:31:33

That's true. That sounds like trying

1:31:35

to get a mortgage to hear

1:31:37

from them. I don't know. I

1:31:39

have perfect credit. We buy a

1:31:41

department at our name and slowly

1:31:43

erode their credit. That's one way

1:31:45

to defeat them.

1:31:48

Run my score. I

1:31:50

would like to know

1:31:52

their weaknesses

1:31:54

please. Any weaknesses. I'm just trying to

1:31:56

picture this guy at a credit office.

1:32:00

I got you to run my credit again! I

1:32:03

have an impenetrable record! I

1:32:05

have a record record record! No,

1:32:08

no, nothing must be wrong! You must be mistaken! I

1:32:14

pay my bill! I

1:32:16

pay my bill! I'm

1:32:18

very diligent and want to pay my bills! I don't

1:32:20

have any credit! I don't have any credit! You

1:32:24

run it again! What did

1:32:26

you say? You wanted to learn what? Apart

1:32:31

from death. Weaknesses?

1:32:35

It has none. So I'll tell

1:32:37

you its resistances. It is resistant

1:32:41

to mental, physical,

1:32:43

and poison. Resistant,

1:32:46

which means it's taking less damage

1:32:49

from people attacked. Okay, okay. Alright.

1:32:54

Okay, I don't even care. Go ahead. Do

1:32:58

you have any actions left? No, that's my last third.

1:33:02

I should have used that ripping action now

1:33:04

and not when I did it before. So

1:33:07

now it will move on. Down

1:33:10

three. Joo's gonna miss this because

1:33:12

it's tiny and flatter. This

1:33:16

hound appears. Oh,

1:33:18

goes to strike apple with its

1:33:21

jaw. That billy is cool. Isn't

1:33:24

that neat? It's cool

1:33:26

looking. Feeling good about this roll.

1:33:30

26 total. Miss.

1:33:35

Here comes the jaws again.

1:33:38

That was against flat-footed. Why

1:33:40

are you flat-footed? Because

1:33:42

it was invisible for that first one and then missed

1:33:44

on the second one. And I'm just gonna keep at

1:33:46

it and miss on the

1:33:48

third one. You lucky son of a gun.

1:33:54

Alright, so that one is now visible and

1:33:56

the red light special is over.

1:33:58

And then it goes to hound. Hound

1:34:03

four appears

1:34:05

right next to

1:34:08

Ethel there. This one looks like

1:34:10

a little weaker than the other

1:34:12

ones. It didn't look weaker before, but

1:34:15

right now it seems like a little, maybe

1:34:17

like a little fear in its eyes. Let's

1:34:20

taut it. The first

1:34:22

thing it does is it steps

1:34:25

below you and then all

1:34:27

of a sudden it looks like beefier

1:34:29

and stronger again. It regained its confidence

1:34:31

in that one step and then

1:34:34

it goes to bite you. Second

1:34:38

action. More. Yep. Him? Ooh!

1:34:42

Miss. Yeah! And

1:34:46

then second action, it will go, excuse

1:34:48

me, third action will go to bite Eris. That's

1:34:51

a 29. Oh, that just

1:34:53

hits with all my things. With

1:34:56

all your things, you take 20

1:34:59

points of piercing damage. Okay, okay,

1:35:01

okay. 20 points of

1:35:03

piercing damage. They are all visible. It

1:35:05

is Eris's turn. One is dead. What

1:35:08

do you do, Eris? All

1:35:10

right. Welcome back. You

1:35:15

brought her dice? I

1:35:17

asked her to get my dice. Sydney asked

1:35:19

me to get her dice. She said they

1:35:21

were on a table. Did

1:35:24

you just grab all the dice with the rules? I grabbed

1:35:26

five sets of dice that were on the table. Her

1:35:28

response was, none of those are mine. What?

1:35:33

Yeah, none of those are mine. I think some

1:35:35

of those are mine. Folks gave me really nice

1:35:37

dice and I left them backstage. I'm sorry, I want to

1:35:39

roll them. But I guess if you want a job done

1:35:41

right, you got to be a woman. She's

1:35:48

using that shit talking as a smokescreen because

1:35:50

she has to go pee. All

1:35:52

right, so here's what you missed.

1:35:54

Don't worry about it. I heard

1:35:56

every second of it. greatest

1:36:00

theater of all time. So it is

1:36:03

a little disconcerting to be peeing and

1:36:06

then hear Troy be like, that's a

1:36:08

fucking nurse. Speakers

1:36:10

in the bathroom love this place.

1:36:12

Let's go. First. So

1:36:15

funny. Like I'm telling you, you

1:36:17

missed. Yeah. No, I didn't. Dad. So

1:36:23

dumb. All right. All right.

1:36:25

I was going to do what I

1:36:27

was planning on doing. I want to

1:36:29

cast with my staff. You see it

1:36:32

all light up and be cool and stuff. Wow.

1:36:35

Voidwarp on the

1:36:37

hound right in front of

1:36:39

me that seems a little stronger now. So

1:36:42

it needs to make a basic

1:36:44

fortitude save. Basic fort save

1:36:47

action? It seems like. How about a 31?

1:36:51

That just passes. My DC

1:36:54

now is 30 for

1:36:57

that. So thanks. Poop.

1:37:01

So I guess you're fine, right? What was

1:37:03

it? Was it a basic? Voidwarp. It's

1:37:05

basic. So it's still 2d4 damage.

1:37:07

I'll just take half of 2d4.

1:37:11

Oh, okay. So it's 74 because I'm level 11. Oh,

1:37:14

so you heightened it. Yeah. So. Wait, did

1:37:16

you say this is from your staff? Yeah. My staff

1:37:18

can cast stuff. But it's not going to cast it

1:37:20

at your level. It's going to cast it at the

1:37:22

level that's in the staff. What

1:37:24

does that mean? Is

1:37:27

it a like sixth level staff?

1:37:32

What level is the spell at? The

1:37:34

staff is item level six.

1:37:36

No, no, no. The actual spell

1:37:38

in the staff has like. It says cantrip. Chill touch,

1:37:41

which is now Voidwarp. Oh, yeah. No, that is level

1:37:43

to your level. Your absolute. I didn't know it was

1:37:45

a cantrip. That is level to your level. Thanks.

1:37:49

I thought it was a cantrip. Thanks, Joe.

1:37:52

I thought it was a spell level situation. Thanks. I've

1:38:00

never heard of Voidwarp. Roll 74

1:38:02

and half it. Voidtouch explaining. So

1:38:05

that, oh, half of an odd

1:38:07

number is hard. Eight points of

1:38:09

damage. Eight points. Cool.

1:38:13

Of the Voidwarp. I know I failed at identifying

1:38:16

these things when they were invisible, but can I

1:38:18

try to roll a knowledge on what made

1:38:20

it maybe stronger, because I observed that new

1:38:22

thing? Do you need any help? Oh!

1:38:25

Oh! My darling.

1:38:27

I thought you said you wouldn't help. No, I

1:38:29

won't. But

1:38:32

I can give you encouragement. Suki seems into

1:38:34

you, so can you just leave

1:38:37

me alone? Let it bother Dick to go around. What

1:38:40

do you want to do? I want to

1:38:42

try to roll a knowledge check on whatever

1:38:45

made it go from weak to strong, or

1:38:47

what was going on there, because I observed

1:38:49

that. Okay, okay. You already rolled a knowledge

1:38:51

check and failed on it, but you're looking

1:38:53

for something specific here, so I'm gonna allow

1:38:55

it. Give me an occultism check. Shit!

1:39:00

I'm allergic to this city. I'm

1:39:02

allergic to the cedar and your wind here. Oh my god.

1:39:06

Killing me, I'm looking high. Oh

1:39:11

my god! Whoa, oh my! My goodness!

1:39:13

My occultism is plus 24. Okay,

1:39:17

this is a D20 system, not a D100 system. No,

1:39:21

you're not. So

1:39:26

what'd you roll? She

1:39:29

can learn about the life universe

1:39:31

and everything with this roll. I

1:39:33

know exactly what that little job

1:39:35

did. Here's what I'm gonna

1:39:38

tell you. This is a Hound of

1:39:40

Syndellos. You now are absolutely sure of

1:39:42

this. This is a stronger variety than

1:39:44

your run-of-the-mill Hound of Tandy. And

1:39:49

they have this thing about

1:39:51

them, and Elder Theor even sort of

1:39:53

alluded to this, that they are vulnerable

1:39:55

to curved space. But

1:39:57

a Hound of Tandy is not adjacent.

1:40:00

to a structural angle of 90

1:40:02

degrees or more acute. Its

1:40:05

resistances to physical damage

1:40:07

are suppressed and it becomes sickened. It

1:40:10

can't recover from the sickened condition, but

1:40:13

the condition ends automatically once

1:40:16

the hound is again adjacent to

1:40:18

a suitable angle. So

1:40:20

cool. It's like allergic. This is the seventh

1:40:22

Amber Alert I've got since I landed in

1:40:24

this town. What is going on in Texas?

1:40:27

What is going on out here? What is going on

1:40:29

tonight? So Aerith says, it's

1:40:32

like allergic to right angles and corners

1:40:34

and it gets sick. Move

1:40:37

it away from the walls. Draw it away from

1:40:39

the walls. And you

1:40:41

know that there is a level above

1:40:44

this, like a meditation chamber that is

1:40:46

circular, that Elgrithir mentioned. Like if you

1:40:48

run into trouble, you can always go

1:40:51

there and then I'll follow you. OK.

1:40:55

Heard. Is that your turn? That is my turn.

1:40:58

We're going to world every year. Round

1:41:01

three. Kicking it off. This is a big

1:41:03

round. This is the sexiest round of

1:41:05

them all. Huge round.

1:41:08

So huge. Suki, you're

1:41:11

up. Suki, seeing

1:41:13

Pepsi get viciously attacked

1:41:16

by this. By

1:41:20

this hound. It's a gift from Randy J. To

1:41:23

me. They were mine. I didn't

1:41:26

say they were mine. I said they specifically were not mine. Suki,

1:41:28

seeing Pepsi get attacked by this hound, gets

1:41:32

her staff because she's got a

1:41:34

cool staff now too. She went shopping.

1:41:37

And she's going to cast a second level heal

1:41:39

and shrug off Father Dick. And

1:41:42

she's going to go, Pepsi! And

1:41:45

going to cast second level heal on Pepsi. The

1:41:47

ranged heal on Pepsi. Love my

1:41:50

snakes so much. And

1:41:52

then that's the two actions drawn. And

1:41:55

then Pepsi. Anyone

1:42:00

ever see the movie Ponte Pool where it's like

1:42:02

the word is like in fact the other, that's

1:42:04

what John is like for this group. And

1:42:08

then, oh she'll cast, as

1:42:10

her third action she'll cast Guidance

1:42:13

on Ethel. Okay, there we go.

1:42:15

Well it just so happens to be

1:42:17

Ethel's turn. Ethel you have a dead

1:42:19

hound at your feet. Wait, Pepsi is

1:42:21

going to act on his own accord

1:42:23

because he's mature and a big boy. So

1:42:25

mature. He's going to

1:42:27

bite the hound that is adjacent

1:42:29

to him. Okay, you

1:42:32

can see it now so you can roll yourself.

1:42:34

Cool. That's going to be

1:42:36

a 27. 27 is

1:42:38

a hit. God,

1:42:40

we got this! We

1:42:43

got this! Okay, that's going to be 12. Piercing.

1:42:51

12 piercing. Don't, I did it fast! I did

1:42:53

it fast! Oh no! I did it

1:42:55

fast! Didn't he

1:42:57

do it math? They

1:42:59

saw me lift my hand up and they were like ha

1:43:02

ha ha ha ha ha ha. You did

1:43:04

hesitate. God, you! You

1:43:06

hesitated on whatever math added up to

1:43:08

12. You

1:43:12

hesitated. They

1:43:15

are not out of order ma'am. They

1:43:17

are not out of order. Give him

1:43:19

an inch. It takes two points of

1:43:21

piercing damage because of its resistance. Resistance!

1:43:25

From the 42 points of piercing damage. From

1:43:28

the 42 points of piercing damage. Did

1:43:31

that one do it again? What?

1:43:34

Do you want to do it again or are you done? Can

1:43:36

I do it again? No, no, no, you're done. I don't think you can do

1:43:38

it again. She's done. I get one, now

1:43:40

you're right. I get one when I don't come in. There's

1:43:43

something I forgot that I'm going to forget again. Eris and

1:43:45

Suki and Pepsi give me a 42'd

1:43:48

say. No! I

1:43:50

don't understand what this ability is where it's coming

1:43:52

from. I don't understand it. You just need to

1:43:54

roll! Not me. But you

1:43:56

didn't say my name. Oh shhh. Stop

1:43:58

yelling at me. Ethel does not

1:44:00

need to roll anything. Aw, man.

1:44:02

Ethel, you'll do it at the end of your

1:44:05

turn. Okay. Alright, what did you get first? Man,

1:44:07

this math is too big. Who me? Nice!

1:44:12

You take no damage. Yeah. Nice.

1:44:16

Suks Magooks. Suky got a

1:44:18

20. Pepsi, I rolled

1:44:20

a nat too. Pepsi got a 27. Pepsi

1:44:24

has a plus 25. Where did Suks have?

1:44:26

No, no. Suky rolled a nat too. Pepsi

1:44:29

rolled a nat 10. Okay, so Pepsi got

1:44:31

a 27. Yeah. Okay,

1:44:33

Pepsi is going to take 15 points

1:44:36

of damage. So you just

1:44:39

healed Pepsi. There goes your heal. And

1:44:41

then you rolled a... I

1:44:45

rolled a 20. And Egg rolled a

1:44:47

30. No one cares about

1:44:49

Egg. You know what? Egg is important. I got to

1:44:51

deal with a snake and I got to deal with

1:44:53

a pomper. Egg is important. Do

1:44:56

we think I should use a cap for this? They take 13 points. Oh,

1:44:58

okay. Cap it! And

1:45:00

then Egg rolled a what? Alright, Egg

1:45:02

is fine. No,

1:45:04

Egg actually takes 5 points of damage. Alright,

1:45:06

alright. Are you tracking Egg's hit points? Yeah,

1:45:09

they have their own hit points. Alright.

1:45:16

I've lost my place with all your

1:45:18

fucking side characters. It's my turn. It's

1:45:20

my turn. I hate side characters. He's

1:45:24

after Father Dick. Hold it. This is your

1:45:26

turn, sir. I might keep him

1:45:28

around for a while. Everybody... Yeah,

1:45:31

yeah, something tells me the monsters aren't going to

1:45:33

attack Father Dick. Even when he's in the most

1:45:35

exclusive booth. You think Father Dick should make it

1:45:37

to Christmas? Oh,

1:45:41

you're too kind. I think

1:45:43

after two counseling sessions that that's all... It's true,

1:45:45

I will quickly speed it along. Christmas?

1:45:49

Nefes begins celebrating Christmas on

1:45:51

October 1st. Oh, no. Yes,

1:45:54

we're going to have to kill him ourselves. Sorry,

1:45:57

Portland and LA. It's

1:46:01

beginning to look a

1:46:03

lot like Christmas Hey

1:46:05

God! Alright, that's all you

1:46:07

have Does abs are small? No April

1:46:11

I'm gonna double slice the hound directly to the south of

1:46:13

me Don't

1:46:17

forget you're hasted I'm hasted,

1:46:19

I also have guidance Yes So

1:46:21

this is the chonk And heroism Did you

1:46:23

say you have doubts? You're welcome The chonk

1:46:26

is the war hammer Oh No

1:46:29

you didn't You piece of shit

1:46:32

If it's a naturalist of one Oh

1:46:35

no What did I do? Matthew

1:46:38

Roto won I'm gonna use the

1:46:40

baller cap You're gonna use the

1:46:42

cap Yeah Okay

1:46:47

No Okay,

1:46:49

I gotta do math in my head now That

1:46:51

is a 43 to hit Oh

1:46:56

What? That's

1:46:58

a critical hit What? You did

1:47:00

it on your own That's a critical hit And? Double

1:47:03

damage The hatchet was a 32 That's

1:47:06

a hit Critical and a regular hit

1:47:08

Okay But no fan

1:47:11

Correct Okay, great Give

1:47:13

me a minute to do math and then I'm gonna hit you

1:47:16

some more Tell me right now Just make it up Or it

1:47:18

doesn't take any damage Give them to me

1:47:20

separate because of its resistance And these ones

1:47:22

almost they all took damage from the lightning

1:47:24

bolts Things going down Right now Yeah,

1:47:27

the lightning bolt was the last cool

1:47:29

thing you did in this company My

1:47:32

favorite thing about other bubbles is his

1:47:34

abs that are AI generated They're really

1:47:36

weird and lumpy You like them? Bring

1:47:39

them up again, bring them up again 42

1:47:42

points of bludgeoning Oh It

1:47:44

looks like he's been at a car

1:47:46

accident This is horrible And four points

1:47:48

of frost Okay Sorry, I'm trying to

1:47:50

do a lot of things right now And

1:47:53

then for the hatchet Oh Oh

1:47:57

Oh Oh Oh What

1:48:01

did he roll? That's what he's saying.

1:48:03

What's your abs away? They're weird. 24

1:48:06

points of slashing damage. Oh, it doesn't look

1:48:08

like an alien is coming out of his...

1:48:10

It does. There's something really wrong with him.

1:48:13

Oh right. What'd

1:48:16

you roll on the second thing? 24 points of

1:48:18

slashing damage. Okay.

1:48:21

And I'm gonna use my third action to flense you.

1:48:24

Oh yeah. No, that's what I'll

1:48:26

do. He lands me in the

1:48:29

morning. He lands you benefits. Basically...

1:48:42

Because I like this town, you get a pile of

1:48:44

caps. Wow,

1:48:47

that was a crowd cap if I've ever seen

1:48:49

one. Crowd cap. I know the... Really?

1:48:52

What is it? They try to get the caps

1:48:54

more than you guys do. The

1:48:57

flense is important because you take 3d8

1:49:00

persistent bleed damage on your turn. You

1:49:02

also become off guard and your resistances to

1:49:04

any physical damage type is reduced by 5.

1:49:07

It's huge. It's huge! Do

1:49:09

I take any immediate damage? No.

1:49:12

That's pretty big. Alright, so I'm

1:49:14

bleeding. Persistent bleach.

1:49:17

And I'm gonna do a final

1:49:19

attack because of haste with the

1:49:21

war hammer at the map. Are

1:49:24

you gonna go after the one that you just went after?

1:49:26

Yeah, continuing to go after the same one. Oh,

1:49:29

no, that's a good point. I'm after you. You can go

1:49:31

after a different one because it's got the bleed. I'll go

1:49:33

after the other one. That's

1:49:35

just fine. That's probably gonna miss with a

1:49:37

24. Hold the miss.

1:49:40

Damn, you look good doing it. Damn,

1:49:42

you look good doing it. Alright.

1:49:45

Nice turn, Ethel. Good turn. Good

1:49:48

turn. Good answer. Alright.

1:49:51

How number one's turn. You know the one

1:49:53

that has barely taken damage. It

1:49:55

is going to dry and murder Pepsi. Oh

1:49:58

wait, Ethel. Give me a fortitude save, man. This will

1:50:02

be wasted on you. There's

1:50:04

a 30. All

1:50:06

right, you take four points of damage. Or

1:50:08

no, you take nothing because that's a critical

1:50:10

thing. Nice! Nice! What

1:50:13

is that power called again? It's

1:50:15

called Battle Heartened. Very

1:50:17

good. Your friend,

1:50:20

he seems Battle Heartened. Watching

1:50:24

this unfold

1:50:26

is making me Battle Heartened. The

1:50:30

everyday battles of marriage have

1:50:32

hardened me. He's

1:50:35

going to fight Pepsi. That

1:50:38

is a 33, little Larry

1:50:40

Bird action. Yeah,

1:50:43

it hits. It's a normal, regular, not important hit. You

1:50:45

don't have to say it like that. Uninteresting hit.

1:50:48

Average, basic hit. Yeah, basic hit. Yeah,

1:50:51

basic. Well, the damage is pretty basic as

1:50:53

well. 13 points

1:50:55

of pierce in the second attack. Oh, I'm

1:50:57

sorry. I forgot one thing. Oh? That

1:51:00

first count is knocked prone. Oh!

1:51:03

That seems... that slime

1:51:05

is important. First

1:51:08

count is knocked prone, you say? Yeah, it's the one

1:51:10

directed to the south of me. I

1:51:12

don't have time for this. Poor

1:51:14

old guy. All

1:51:17

right. All

1:51:19

right, second attack there, Susie, is

1:51:22

a 32. Yes.

1:51:27

You left your snake there. You

1:51:29

did this to yourself. Oh!

1:51:32

Oh! 22 points of piercing. That's quite bad. And

1:51:35

then final attack. Oh, yeah, this is an

1:51:37

old La Valley prototype die here. How

1:51:40

about a 20? How about a 20? No. No.

1:51:44

Okay. Thank God. Good

1:51:46

round for the hound. That rhymed. Atticus. Oh,

1:51:50

Atticus. Where's your lightning bolt now,

1:51:52

brisket boy? Oh! It'll

1:52:02

be worth it. Do it. Do it. I'm

1:52:06

telling you it'll be worth it. Atticus, almost

1:52:09

like an old man, feebly,

1:52:13

moves the 10 feet to

1:52:15

the south. Yeah,

1:52:18

like master splinter.

1:52:20

Like master splinter, yes. No

1:52:22

copyright violation. No, not at

1:52:24

all. A

1:52:26

legally distinct version of

1:52:29

nothing to do with the actual. I'd

1:52:32

like to try to explain a joke right

1:52:34

now that will be hard to explain because

1:52:36

it's only on my screen. I

1:52:39

have two computers here. One projects

1:52:41

that image. Another one is what

1:52:43

I use to move Atticus around.

1:52:46

And when I went back to that screen, which

1:52:48

I hadn't touched in one round, one

1:52:51

round, I had

1:52:53

to close five different pictures of

1:52:55

Brooke Bubbles. I've

1:53:01

found many times we have

1:53:03

to see Dick Bubbles' job.

1:53:05

Apparently. He stumbles

1:53:07

to the south. It looks

1:53:10

like stumbling because he leans

1:53:12

on something. A new

1:53:15

object. Something he never

1:53:17

had before. Is it the cheese

1:53:19

that Bubbles gave you? No, he

1:53:21

eschewed the cheese. In

1:53:26

Casimir, before he set up on his

1:53:29

journey, he found himself a rather expensive

1:53:31

staff. One

1:53:34

that crackles with elemental

1:53:36

energy. And

1:53:39

as he takes two steps to the

1:53:41

south, he turns to the two hounds

1:53:43

yet in another line and

1:53:46

reaches out the

1:53:48

staff and emerging

1:53:50

from it. It's

1:53:52

a burst of

1:53:54

electricity. Another lightning bolt, a

1:53:56

reflex save if you please. Alex

1:54:00

save for these two fellas,

1:54:02

stupidly standing there. They have

1:54:04

to, they have to be

1:54:06

near the walls. No concealment

1:54:08

issue, let's go. First one

1:54:10

rolled a 23. Oh

1:54:13

baby, where are the reflexes on

1:54:15

these? That's the one that's on the ropes.

1:54:18

The second one, another 23. Wow,

1:54:20

but no, but no.

1:54:25

Oh, oh. They

1:54:30

each take 32 points of

1:54:32

electricity damage. Ding!

1:54:36

As that was a lower level lightning bolt that

1:54:38

did just as much damage as the other one.

1:54:40

There was an 11 and a 12 in that

1:54:42

4D12, let's rock that. The

1:54:45

first one in the nuts turns to a crisp.

1:54:47

Yeah! And

1:54:51

the second one screams, but as that

1:54:53

first one dies, it dies in the

1:54:55

same horrible manner as the first one,

1:54:57

just like ripping, tearing sound, and

1:55:00

ahh, like metal being ripped, I think I said,

1:55:02

the shriek, and then it goes out in just

1:55:04

a pile. Well, this is the thing is

1:55:06

like, because they emerged from the mirror

1:55:08

or whatever, like

1:55:11

the liquid metal, like the C1000. Let

1:55:15

me shout out Sydney's genius. I whispered

1:55:17

to Joe. So I said to Sydney,

1:55:19

I need an action

1:55:21

to get a recall knowledge on what this metal

1:55:24

thing is, even though it's not hurting us. I

1:55:27

was like, what is this? Did someone make

1:55:29

them? Are they constructs? And

1:55:31

then Sydney said something that blew my fucking

1:55:34

mind and I gave her a Joe bottle

1:55:36

cap, which is not valid.

1:55:40

It is not currency and this one goes out.

1:55:42

You could use it in Delta, you could use it in Delta

1:55:44

green. Yeah. Yeah. That's

1:55:49

an actual deal. Wow! Because

1:55:52

this is so good, I couldn't help myself. Sydney, what

1:55:54

did you say in that moment? I thought back and

1:55:56

I was like, well, if they came through the

1:55:58

mirror, the axial nights were the worst. the

1:56:00

ones that were supposed to

1:56:02

come out. So perhaps they

1:56:04

are corrupted Axial Knights. Oh,

1:56:06

and they are metal. Typically

1:56:08

they're made of metal. Wow.

1:56:10

Like corrupted, the corrupted like

1:56:12

kind of version. I

1:56:14

don't know. Corrupted version of the axiomatic

1:56:16

knight. Oh, that's interesting. How cool is

1:56:19

that? Who knows if it's true, but it

1:56:21

doesn't matter now. Cause I got a bottle cap. You got

1:56:23

to get in the trunk bottle cap.

1:56:25

Hey, actually, Sid, I'm going to give

1:56:27

you a bottle cap for a legacy

1:56:29

of the ancient. This has

1:56:33

never happened before. This is the first. Fuck

1:56:35

you, tribe. It's our game. That says you

1:56:37

brought this on yourself. Oh

1:56:51

no, wait. Guys, say sorry.

1:56:56

How dare you? Trust in

1:56:58

Nethis. You don't

1:57:01

need caps when you

1:57:04

have pecs like these and

1:57:07

one weird bulge in your arm.

1:57:10

Oh, it's hot in here. All right. So

1:57:16

you think that perhaps the

1:57:19

axiomites not axiomites. Yes.

1:57:21

I'm sorry. Oh, wait. We

1:57:23

have been bastardized into these hounds

1:57:25

that emerged from the mirror. Father.

1:57:30

I was gonna say father cock.

1:57:32

I forgot what his name was. I

1:57:36

mean, that's basically what he is. Let's

1:57:39

be honest. Father,

1:57:41

mother dick, father, father bubble.

1:57:45

Father bubbles is like, I

1:57:48

don't like the looks of these creatures. Something

1:57:51

is wrong here. The enchanted

1:57:53

mirror is supposed to bring

1:57:55

about something else. I

1:57:57

have a fear that this will not.

1:58:00

Stop we must end this fight and

1:58:02

investigate the mirror Thanks,

1:58:06

okay, and that is

1:58:09

1:59:39

I should have been doing since the beginning of the

1:59:41

fight and I didn't I'm going to start enacting now

1:59:43

So you guys benefit from this the fact that I

1:59:46

forgot this you have to roll against each of the

1:59:48

hounds gays So give me another I didn't understand what

1:59:50

was going on with this game. Did you see tell

Look at that shit. Where

2:00:22

are you? Raise your hand. Yeah he is

2:00:24

right there, my man. Not only do you

2:00:26

take no damage, you're immune to that gaze.

2:00:32

On a critical success. However.

2:00:35

Don't ever hump my chair again. It

2:00:39

was more of a... That's all right, we'll

2:00:41

discuss later. It was more of a grind. I

2:00:43

didn't like it. What did I... It's

2:00:47

Aldo's turn. Aldo.

2:00:50

Good bombs there on your chest. What

2:00:52

do those two... Aldo...

2:00:56

Aldo is... He's doing

2:00:58

it involuntarily now. Aldo

2:01:02

is going to move 15 feet

2:01:04

to get into better position. Boom.

2:01:08

And he's going to thrarrr. Thrarrr.

2:01:12

Thrarrr. At

2:01:16

a certain point, someone

2:01:18

unlocked the formula for

2:01:21

the Australian accent. Is

2:01:23

that a... Just

2:01:25

put an R on the end of everything. So

2:01:29

that person should be put on trial in

2:01:31

Canberra. Alright,

2:01:34

so I am going to

2:01:36

thrarrr. I'm

2:01:38

going to throw another... A greater bottle

2:01:40

of lightning at the... Oh

2:01:42

yes. Hand to it.

2:01:45

Actually to this town. The ham to

2:01:47

the seal. That one's taking

2:01:50

significant damage. Alright, here we go. Just

2:01:52

got hit by a lightning bolt. That

2:01:54

was a 41 to hit. What

2:02:02

a big critical hit. Double

2:02:08

damage. Okay, that is 68 points of

2:02:10

damage. Wow!

2:02:17

Show me what the survey says. Jaxxoo!

2:02:24

Deadz, Zoni,

2:02:27

Bratiful, and Sarr.

2:02:36

That's my final action of the round. I'm going

2:02:39

to throw a moderate ultimate

2:02:42

supplier at the... No, you

2:02:44

know what? Fuck it. I'm going to throw

2:02:46

another greater lightning. Yeah, why not? I

2:02:48

don't think this thing's been touched. Yeah,

2:02:51

yeah, yeah. Fuck the red thing. Fuck

2:02:53

it has a resistance, so it's not

2:02:55

that early. Yeah, yeah. Get

2:02:58

it, Aldo. Kill it! Natural

2:03:00

20... That's

2:03:04

a hit. Yeah! Hell

2:03:07

yeah! That

2:03:11

is 28 points of damage. Okay,

2:03:13

finally this one's getting chunked.

2:03:16

And it is a flat-footed...

2:03:20

Oh, god. Two... Or

2:03:22

it takes until the beginning of the next round.

2:03:26

All right. Hop guard now. There's

2:03:28

only one left, so just give me

2:03:30

one fortitude save. Me?

2:03:34

Yes. I'd prefer it to be you. Arrr!

2:03:40

Jaxxoo! That's hard. I

2:03:43

said every time I went with hard.

2:03:45

Nard! Nard! That

2:03:48

is a 36. Oh,

2:03:51

my god. You take four points of

2:03:53

damage. Yeah! Wait, 36? Wow.

2:03:57

Yeah, there are four points of damage. Wow. Wow!

2:04:00

Alright, everybody calm down. You guys

2:04:02

are doing alright. It

2:04:04

is Ur-e-sister.

2:04:07

Hey! So

2:04:10

many of my spells are like mental spells,

2:04:12

which is great to know that that doesn't

2:04:15

matter to them. So

2:04:17

I'm going to, now that I know that

2:04:19

piercing is less of

2:04:21

a resistance for them, cast Phase

2:04:23

Bolts. On the final

2:04:26

remaining one, it does more damage

2:04:28

and I have the opportunity to maybe crit. Oh,

2:04:30

cut this dice in. This one's

2:04:33

been good. Phase Bolt

2:04:35

action? Is that heightened? It's

2:04:38

a can trip, so yeah, it's automatically heightened.

2:04:40

Okay. I'm going

2:04:42

to use the bottle cap that we get at the beginning

2:04:44

of every session that you said that

2:04:46

we get right now. Wait,

2:04:49

why are you using it? Did you miss? Because

2:04:52

I rolled a natural three. I missed that.

2:04:54

If you must know. Use your cap. It's

2:04:56

not every session. Okay,

2:04:58

I mean it's like double what

2:05:00

I rolled. Okay. So that's

2:05:03

a 26 to hit? Is

2:05:05

it off guard, Skib? To everyone?

2:05:07

Yeah. Yeah. Skib!

2:05:14

Of course it. Alright, 8d4. 8d4?

2:05:19

8d4 piercing. 17 points of damage. 17

2:05:23

points of damage. It does not all go

2:05:25

through if it's piercing. Yeah. But

2:05:28

you do hit it with

2:05:30

a phase bolt. Any actions

2:05:32

remaining? Um,

2:05:34

raising my shield. Give

2:05:38

me a fortitude save as this thing.

2:05:40

Fortitude. It's private eyes of watching

2:05:43

you. Alright. And if

2:05:45

it were him watching

2:05:47

you, watching your every

2:05:50

move. If Egg is

2:05:52

in my cloak, do they have to roll? No,

2:06:00

because I don't care about eggs. I

2:06:03

mean, you should. It's

2:06:06

a weird way to be generous and dismissive at

2:06:08

the same time. I know. Oh wait, wait, wait.

2:06:10

It's like that if it's a dismissive at the

2:06:12

same time. Yes, 31. 31, okay. That

2:06:15

is a save, not a critical save. So it's

2:06:17

going to be nine points of damage as I

2:06:19

rolled some rocks.

2:06:23

Okay. Alright,

2:06:26

that's what Eris does. There is one more enemy. And

2:06:30

all I want to do is think privatize right

2:06:32

now. But I'm going to hold off. Suki,

2:06:35

it's your turn. Suki.

2:06:38

Suki, what are you going to do now, says Father

2:06:40

Bubble? Suki turns. Your

2:06:42

prowess in battle is unmatched. Don't

2:06:44

listen to him. He's so annoying.

2:06:47

The light way with which you

2:06:49

move about is intoxicating. Suki

2:06:51

turns. Father Bubble ties his arm around Suki, right?

2:06:53

Yes. He turns into him,

2:06:56

touching her hands to his bare chest. Oh

2:06:58

my. And the

2:07:00

wind in this closed stagnant air

2:07:02

building is blowing. Hey

2:07:04

Father Bubbles, do

2:07:07

you deal with sexual dysfunction at all? What?

2:07:11

Not right now. Are you

2:07:13

actually ruining my sexy moment? Do you?

2:07:17

You didn't ruin your constant porno

2:07:19

last week or whatever two days

2:07:21

ago. Suki

2:07:23

kicks Ethel while she turns. Listen.

2:07:27

Yes. My

2:07:30

life is complicated. I understand. Why

2:07:32

is this happening

2:07:35

again? I

2:07:39

have problems.

2:07:41

I'm complicated.

2:07:45

We're all troubled.

2:07:49

I just don't know if I'll have the space,

2:07:51

the time, the mental energy

2:07:53

of you. You.

2:07:57

That's a first step. So we've known

2:07:59

this for a long time. Listen,

2:08:02

we're in the middle of battle. We're all

2:08:04

a little hated. We? But

2:08:08

after this is all over, perhaps we can

2:08:10

make the space. Perhaps.

2:08:13

But right now, I have

2:08:16

to do something I have been

2:08:18

wanting to do all night. And

2:08:20

then she turns away from you

2:08:22

and marches over to the Hound

2:08:24

and I cast Produce Flame and

2:08:26

I blast the Hound across the

2:08:28

face. And

2:08:32

I say, everybody's supposed to be

2:08:34

in one shot that way.

2:08:38

So you walk up right next to

2:08:40

it? Yeah. And what is the

2:08:43

save? No save. I'm going to attack you. Okay.

2:08:47

Fuck. Do you want to use

2:08:49

your bottle of count to reroll?

2:08:53

Do it. Yes. Do it. Come

2:08:55

on. Okay. Clear all my other dice

2:08:57

so it's a nice clean roll. You guys know what I mean when

2:08:59

it hits the dice. You're like, that didn't count. That's

2:09:03

going to be... 24.

2:09:06

No, no. 34. Hold

2:09:10

on. Hold on. The city's

2:09:13

doing their way. Are

2:09:18

you sure? And he's off

2:09:20

guard, but yes. Alright. That

2:09:23

is a hit, not a crit. Okay. That's

2:09:26

fine. 23 points of fire

2:09:28

damage. Here we are. Impressive.

2:09:39

Did I kill it? He's

2:09:41

alive. Now give me a

2:09:44

Portrait Save as it's staring through your

2:09:46

soul. Okay. I know. Oh

2:09:50

yeah. 90-19. 90-19 with a toast.

2:09:54

Who knows? Might

2:09:56

be a crit again. Oh no. Oh

2:10:00

no! It needs to emerge! It's

2:10:04

like as if you were going to add 19 and

2:10:06

18, so it's probably 36, 37. 37.

2:10:10

Science will never know the answer. It's

2:10:12

no... We've got our top

2:10:14

men on this one. What's top men? That's

2:10:16

a 37. Top men. And

2:10:19

that's a critical success, so you're immune to

2:10:21

it as well. Yeah! And

2:10:23

now, Pepsi, seeing his mother,

2:10:26

so upset, is

2:10:28

going to bite. I rolled a 37 the first

2:10:30

time, Aeris, so I shouldn't be grueling, and I'm

2:10:32

going to give myself 5 points back. That's fine.

2:10:34

I thought one of you rolled a crit, but

2:10:36

I didn't want to give you the 8 points

2:10:38

back. So rude. So rude. But

2:10:40

I believe you. Strangely honest,

2:10:42

yes. That's going to be a

2:10:44

34 to hit for Pepsi? That's it. I'm

2:10:47

allergic to this town! We're

2:10:50

not coming back. I changed my mind. Oh no! All

2:10:56

right, I'll buy some Zyrtec! By

2:11:00

the way, Strange Aeon's is now

2:11:03

sponsored by Zyrtec. Zyrtec! When

2:11:06

you go to a weird town, when the air is poisoning. I

2:11:11

love this whole thing. It's been like a long con

2:11:13

for Zyrtec. The second I got off

2:11:15

the plane, I'm like, what is wrong with the

2:11:17

air? What

2:11:20

are you doing? I did 12 points of piercing.

2:11:22

I sure hope it had 2 points of

2:11:24

health left. And sadly no. But

2:11:26

give me a Fortitude Save for Pepsi.

2:11:28

Killing this snake. So

2:11:34

35! What? That

2:11:37

was so fast it must be wrong. It

2:11:40

was 35! It was 35! 5 points

2:11:42

of piercing damage. Okay. All right. And it

2:11:44

is Ethel's turn. Ethel, can you end this?

2:11:46

And that's Ethel's turn. Oh,

2:11:51

he's flanking! Let's hear

2:11:53

it for Ethel! You

2:11:58

got this, bud! Am I

2:12:00

flanking with Suki around the corner? Or is that

2:12:02

because the corner is... Yeah, sure. Okay, all right,

2:12:04

great. All right, that

2:12:06

was first action move up there, second

2:12:08

action, double slice. Double slice. Chonk is

2:12:11

the war hammer. Cha-chonk, cha-chonk. Okay,

2:12:14

that is going to be a 44. Krimp.

2:12:20

Cha-chonk, yeah! And a 28. That's

2:12:22

good. Hit. Yeah! Krimp,

2:12:24

double damage, hit, single

2:12:26

damage. End this.

2:12:29

Give it to me, all separate. 40

2:12:32

points of bludgeoning. Oh my god! Wait, the

2:12:34

double slice isn't combined for the purposes of

2:12:36

bypassing resistances. It

2:12:39

does. Yeah! Boom! See,

2:12:43

it does both ways. Whoa.

2:12:49

That's all the break, Bob. So

2:12:51

wait, what happens? They're combined for bypassing resistance.

2:12:54

Ah! Because it's a double slice ability. Ah.

2:12:56

So that'll be 67 points of both. Oh!

2:13:02

Go! Father

2:13:09

Richard runs up and says, oh, let me

2:13:11

help. Oh, you guys got it under control,

2:13:14

all right. Oh,

2:13:16

I was worried. Didn't want to have

2:13:18

to start punching.

2:13:24

You are out of combat. These

2:13:26

hounds that attack you, all

2:13:29

that's left of them is like a pile

2:13:31

of gore. As each of them fell, all

2:13:33

went through the same thing of bones

2:13:36

breaking, entrails ripping out of their bodies,

2:13:38

almost like they were being inverted in

2:13:40

space and time. And there's just this

2:13:42

psh, psh, puddle of gore. Looking

2:13:45

to the north, you see this

2:13:47

enchanted mirror that Elder Theor talked about.

2:13:49

You see a long hallway, you see

2:13:51

more doors, you see doors to the

2:13:53

east. What do you do? Let's move

2:13:56

to the mirror. I treat

2:13:58

runes on Pepsi, just so we know. I'm doing

2:14:00

that. I'm just doing that. He almost

2:14:02

died. Oh, that's ten

2:14:04

minutes. Yes. It's smart to take

2:14:06

care of yourself. Yes, I can take our time. We

2:14:09

must be smart about this. You were incredible.

2:14:12

Wait. Well done. And Pepsi. Thank you.

2:14:14

I've never. Father Calk. I

2:14:16

knew you. Is there any way that you

2:14:19

can help us? It's... I know that you

2:14:21

don't roll initiative, but for healing. Ah,

2:14:24

yes, I can help you. Yes. What do you

2:14:26

need, my son? Well, I

2:14:29

just... Heal the snake. No,

2:14:31

no, no, no. No, look.

2:14:33

I'm hurt. And when I get

2:14:36

this feeling... I

2:14:45

cannot provide that. Well, they're just

2:14:47

regular healing. Can you provide regular

2:14:49

healing? The heal spell, perhaps. The

2:14:51

healing that I give you is through the power

2:14:54

of my words. Sure,

2:14:57

it may not staunch your

2:14:59

wounds, but it will heal

2:15:01

your emotional scars. I've

2:15:07

got emotional scars. No, don't. Don't

2:15:09

treat him. Ethel, don't listen to

2:15:11

him. He needs... No, don't treat him. He needs

2:15:13

the edge. What do you think it

2:15:15

means when someone tells you, your

2:15:17

soul is corrosive? When

2:15:20

I said that, I meant it like it's hot.

2:15:26

I like that. We should

2:15:29

press on. Aldo,

2:15:32

come here. And

2:15:34

she puts her hands on

2:15:36

your face. Such a kind soul. I'm

2:15:38

not pushing the button. No, no. Adjust

2:15:41

your goggles. Adjust

2:15:45

your goggles a little bit and you get 36

2:15:47

points of healing. Suki,

2:15:54

while you are doing

2:15:56

that magnificent healing, could I perhaps...

2:15:59

Ethel! I don't know! Could

2:16:05

I perhaps ask

2:16:07

you for your services as well? I'm

2:16:10

very injured. Of course. That strange

2:16:12

creature slashed at me with its

2:16:15

eyes. I've never seen anything like

2:16:17

it. While she's doing that, could

2:16:19

I do a recall knowledge

2:16:21

on the way that they

2:16:23

sort of vanished? The metal, the sort

2:16:26

of way that they crushed in upon

2:16:28

themselves, just get a sense of, I

2:16:31

can understand why that happened. Yeah, sure. So

2:16:35

I'm gonna do occultism. Okay.

2:16:37

And that is a 32. Thank

2:16:49

you so much. You're welcome so much. I

2:16:52

know you're concentrating my health. Suki healed the shit out

2:16:54

of me off mic. Took

2:16:56

30 minutes though, we've treated wounds three

2:16:58

times. So it's been a

2:17:00

half an hour. Yeah, I don't wanna waste spells on

2:17:02

you guys. No, but there is. There

2:17:06

is no rush. The count is long

2:17:09

gone. Ethel! No! Come

2:17:11

back. Ethel!

2:17:14

Ethel! Just because this is the

2:17:16

first encounter we've ever had when you

2:17:18

haven't gone dying. Ethel, there is no rush.

2:17:20

Wait for me. Ethel! Father

2:17:26

Dick said, Father

2:17:31

Dick said we had to check out the mirror immediately.

2:17:34

He did. But Atticus is thinking really

2:17:36

hard about what the mirror could be.

2:17:39

Atticus, you were only 32. I

2:17:41

trust you, Impecc- Im-Pecs. Somebody

2:17:43

pecced. What? Implicitly, implicitly.

2:17:45

I trust you implicitly. There's

2:17:49

a lot going on, Lydia, but. I

2:17:52

have much to learn from you. You

2:17:56

rolled a 32 and you're a cultism check to try

2:17:58

and figure out what that death was. all about

2:18:00

of these creatures and it kind of reminded

2:18:02

you in a way of

2:18:04

your battle with the denizens of

2:18:06

Lang that you faced and you

2:18:09

rolled knowledge on the denizens of

2:18:11

Lang and you remembered that like

2:18:13

they don't really die yes they

2:18:15

like reform on their plane you

2:18:17

know what I mean when you

2:18:19

fought that one underneath Lao's

2:18:21

estate she like

2:18:24

laughed at you way were like

2:18:26

you can't kill me I'm just gonna reform like you

2:18:29

you know this there was something in the

2:18:31

way these hounds perished being from

2:18:33

a dimension a plane similar to

2:18:35

Lang Tyndallos it's you

2:18:37

know in the same ballpark you

2:18:40

get the sense that like they

2:18:42

didn't really die that they're

2:18:44

they're reforming elsewhere

2:18:47

and then your eyes lock on that mirror it

2:18:51

was only a temporary measure they

2:18:53

are not truly destroyed

2:18:57

only briefly defeated Apple

2:19:00

yeah my eyes are locked in

2:19:02

the mirror do you think

2:19:08

we can get behind

2:19:11

me get behind me dick

2:19:15

I'm with you all right we

2:19:18

check out

2:19:20

this mirror now yes I

2:19:23

also want to add I was thinking really

2:19:25

hard and when I was writing notes down

2:19:27

in the last session I

2:19:29

did write down axiomites and I've

2:19:32

come to realize that it's not what

2:19:34

he was talking about they are not

2:19:37

armored features that come through the mirror

2:19:39

and I just wanted everyone to know

2:19:42

that well no I mean

2:19:44

perhaps yes but I do believe that

2:19:46

there is some instinct you have there

2:19:48

that is correct perhaps something thank

2:19:51

you Atticus can

2:19:54

you move my phone up with a fancy more

2:19:56

angels as you get

2:19:58

to the mirror and look

2:20:01

through, you

2:20:03

see in the distance, almost as

2:20:05

if it's in slow motion, a

2:20:08

pack of hounds racing

2:20:10

towards the floor. Oh

2:20:14

shit. Break

2:20:16

it, break it, Mira. Now

2:20:18

you can swing, now you can swing, swing, swing. Apple

2:20:21

smash it. I take the mirror and I

2:20:24

press it to the floor, so if they come out, they're just

2:20:26

gonna have to bump against the wall. No smash it, why do

2:20:28

it smash it? It

2:20:30

could be valuable. No. Apple

2:20:32

smash the mirror. It's only the mirror. Why

2:20:35

are you putting it on the ground? All

2:20:38

right, fine, whatever. Smash. With

2:20:40

the hammer. You smash with the hammer. Great,

2:20:45

now I got seven years of bad luck, thanks guys.

2:20:48

Like I didn't have enough problems going on. You

2:20:50

mean seven more years. I

2:20:56

thought I told you that in confidence, although. We're

2:20:59

not responsible for anything you did previous to your employment, leave it

2:21:02

with us. It happens

2:21:04

to everybody, all right? You

2:21:07

smash the mirror. It's like that scene

2:21:09

from The Who's Tommy. Yes. And

2:21:14

the hounds break up into

2:21:16

a million pieces. Oh yes. And

2:21:18

the mirror falls. Oh yeah! The

2:21:23

mirror falls. You've been detecting magic the

2:21:25

entire time, now that you are out

2:21:27

of combat. You get back on it.

2:21:29

Any magic that was in this mirror starts

2:21:32

to fade. The

2:21:35

protections have been lost, but they

2:21:37

were already bastardized. Maybe

2:21:39

they can get a new mirror.

2:21:42

But for the moment. The

2:21:45

real tragedy is, the

2:21:48

tragedy of the lost mirror. I

2:21:50

think they're having a sale, like a going out

2:21:53

of business sale. It's nothing beyond. No, believe me,

2:21:55

we can replace the mirror. That's not. Should

2:21:59

we check the rest of the- floor for any more mirrors

2:22:01

before we turn any more angels heads father bubbles

2:22:03

picks up a couple cases no no Guy

2:22:14

2:22:48

there any other mirrors on this floor you've been here before

2:22:50

2:22:52

bathroom, but I don't think it's

2:22:54

enchanted. Oh fuck. I wish that the

2:22:56

mirror in the bathroom It's over the

2:22:58

toilet though, so it's strange you watch

2:23:00

2:23:03

2:24:00

2:24:03

you get to the- Dude, stop! Everything, stop! Ethel

2:24:06

did not move anywhere without most of us.

2:24:10

All right, well as you get here

2:24:12

where I'm pinging on the map, you

2:24:14

would stop and notice that although this

2:24:17

is not like the other Angel statues,

2:24:19

there is a five foot wide circular

2:24:21

valve, looks like it's made out of

2:24:23

iron perhaps, and it depicts four angel

2:24:25

faces smiling and looking

2:24:27

up to the ceiling. You

2:24:32

guys want to cautiously continue to move.

2:24:35

Give me a hug. Hey,

2:24:40

Father Dick. Yes?

2:24:42

I want to race to the last angel

2:24:44

over there. You

2:24:46

son of a bitch, I'm in. Let's go! Oh,

2:24:49

look at me, I'm gonna head start. Oh

2:24:52

my God. I feel like a

2:24:54

schoolboy again. Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

2:24:56

Stop! Stop! Hey, Suki, did you

2:24:58

see I won? I

2:25:01

won the race to the angel statue. Oh

2:25:03

my God, I'm so sad. You son of

2:25:05

a bitch, I'm in. Oh my God. Before

2:25:13

you win the race, can Suki

2:25:15

do a check at the other

2:25:18

thing that you said? Can she look at

2:25:20

the ceiling or at the angels? Stop

2:25:23

running around! It's just like a bunch

2:25:25

of kids running around a very dangerous

2:25:27

building. Alright, come on. Like

2:25:30

climbing on stuff. Give you

2:25:32

one, Noki. Give

2:25:36

me a religion check or occultism,

2:25:38

even in Canada. I'll do religion.

2:25:44

Oh man. That's gonna be

2:25:46

a real bad. That's gonna be a 25. 25,

2:25:49

yeah, no. I don't know. The angel motif

2:25:51

is pretty prevalent here throughout. It was on

2:25:54

the outside of the building. The

2:25:56

angel statues are very important, but you

2:25:59

don't discern anything. Eleven unappealing. I look

2:26:01

up. Until the ceiling. Okay

2:26:03

she raises her the angles as you but she

2:26:05

strips a little bit on her dress and then

2:26:07

she lacks like maybe that didn't happen again or

2:26:09

has never stopped a thirty magic by the way.

2:26:12

Those are turn the head of the things

2:26:15

are what he's gonna watch the the Angels

2:26:17

backers where their C rating changes you look.

2:26:20

How. Many of you clicked. Three.

2:26:22

This will be the third three. You

2:26:24

see one more down there and you

2:26:26

know that there are allegedly for on

2:26:28

each. Far

2:26:31

it looks as you. Read

2:26:34

as if lost the ability to rob it

2:26:36

of my connection to the internet was supposed

2:26:38

to love. Our

2:26:46

thoughts are on the surface.

2:26:48

I kept us safe level.

2:26:50

Now I'm just getting. Ah,

2:26:54

slow. I'm not bothered. You

2:26:59

rush down there. So I

2:27:01

turned out yeah, all right

2:27:04

look at me cause of

2:27:06

the adventure now. Yes,

2:27:09

yes, I think I'll stick around

2:27:11

for quite some time. All. Birds

2:27:15

I just something. Oh.

2:27:22

Did you do something? Know

2:27:24

what did you hear that and in

2:27:26

fact when he turns the head of

2:27:28

the things you all here this like

2:27:30

sound like it's is metallic but as

2:27:32

to sound like. And.

2:27:36

It came from the northern

2:27:38

portion of the in northern

2:27:40

send to put on. The

2:27:44

direction. Over the

2:27:46

direction of where you were looking

2:27:49

at that statue. Now mind you,

2:27:51

there are also several doors to

2:27:53

other rooms, but. you'll

2:27:56

see any other dangers as you have

2:27:58

now scoured almost every single intro. Look,

2:28:01

come here, huddle up. You too, dick.

2:28:04

Yes. Yes. There

2:28:06

is a... You too, dick. Are

2:28:10

you ready for that cheese? There is a very... So mean.

2:28:16

You are a small-minded fool in a charlatan.

2:28:19

You do not fool me. Yes.

2:28:22

It's rude. There is. Without

2:28:26

a doubt. We're not really

2:28:28

huddled here. There is confusing

2:28:30

misdirection throughout this entire place.

2:28:34

You don't have to speak every second.

2:28:38

I'm new to huddles. You've

2:28:42

never huddled... No, no, no. ...ever

2:28:44

in your life. Back at the

2:28:46

seminary, it was discouraged. Thou

2:28:51

shalt not huddle. That was

2:28:53

Sir Nethis' third commandment.

2:28:57

Truly though. There is a

2:29:00

major question. Do

2:29:06

we only need to advance into deeper

2:29:08

levels or above? Or

2:29:14

must we search every room for what Laos

2:29:16

may have missed? Or where

2:29:18

Laos may be, every

2:29:20

single room in this library could

2:29:22

contain knowledge we need to find

2:29:25

an economic... To find

2:29:27

Laos. Must we open

2:29:29

every door or must we move on? Yeah,

2:29:32

all right. Suki. I'm

2:29:34

the way, I'm the way, I'm the way! You

2:29:37

are wise beyond all of us. Of

2:29:39

course. What do you on the six tell you? Let

2:29:43

me center myself. I've

2:29:46

been quite thrown off.

2:29:51

By what? I

2:29:53

said let me center myself.

2:29:57

You know what? Let me just talk

2:29:59

to Pepsi. I'm not

2:30:01

a mother. I'm

2:30:07

not a mother. A man-thor? A

2:30:10

man-thor? That's

2:30:12

my mother's name. How

2:30:17

does Pepsi know your mother's name? I don't know.

2:30:19

Do you think it's... ...death

2:30:22

to me? Nethis

2:30:25

does not believe in fate. But I

2:30:27

do. Does

2:30:32

Nethis? Yes. And

2:30:35

you? You

2:30:37

are the authority on what the

2:30:39

god Nethis does and does not

2:30:41

believe. No, I would

2:30:43

never make myself the authority on such

2:30:45

things. I am but an

2:30:48

ant in the eye of that mad

2:30:50

god. You

2:30:54

say that mad god as if

2:30:56

that's not your patron, do you?

2:30:59

Yes, but I can be objective.

2:31:01

He went nuts. Stupid Jesus. He

2:31:04

is great in all power.

2:31:08

I know, right? He is crazy as

2:31:10

well. He's going to get me started.

2:31:12

Listen, he is the thing. He is the thing. You asked

2:31:14

a question. I perhaps have the answer.

2:31:17

The goal is to suss out this

2:31:19

cancer within that is Laul's and in

2:31:21

what he has done. However,

2:31:24

Elder Thean informed me that you are

2:31:26

to bring out Elder Lathien

2:31:28

as well. You wrap

2:31:30

the bodies of any Nethisians you find

2:31:32

within. I can help in that. I

2:31:35

can aid in that unimportant task. However,

2:31:38

should the body of Elder Lathien or perhaps

2:31:40

your quarry lie in any of these rooms,

2:31:43

you will seem foolish if

2:31:46

you don't at least take a peek. Dick

2:31:48

is right. I

2:31:51

don't know if I have a chose any of you this, but I

2:31:54

am beholden to Phrasma. Are

2:31:56

you familiar, Dick? I

2:31:59

have. heard about her own passing.

2:32:04

Weird, I feel like you would know way more.

2:32:06

No, no, no, no. What

2:32:09

seminary did you go to? It

2:32:12

was the seminary of Nethis. No

2:32:14

huddling and no talking about other

2:32:16

gods. That's the two main rules.

2:32:18

If you huddled about other gods

2:32:20

you were immediately expelled. Yes, thou

2:32:22

shalt huddle with no other gods

2:32:25

before me. Yes, it is a

2:32:27

carnal sin in my order. Well,

2:32:30

all that to say is I agree

2:32:32

with you, Father. Yes, you are right.

2:32:34

It's important that we lay those... you

2:32:38

really do talk every time you talk

2:32:40

to me. You chose

2:32:42

it to be an extra hour long. You

2:32:45

wanted me. We

2:32:47

need... He's right,

2:32:49

Attitus. We need to guide those

2:32:52

souls to their end place and

2:32:54

we won't be able to do... I'm not

2:32:57

even talking to you. Just keep talking. He's gonna

2:32:59

keep doing it. We need

2:33:01

to find Laos and mine.

2:33:03

I promised Elder

2:33:05

Llyis here. Thank

2:33:08

you, Father. We promised Elder Llyis that we

2:33:10

would do this for her people. I'm

2:33:16

gonna start opening doors. Yeah. Go for it,

2:33:19

Aerys. See ya. Aerys, wait. Wait. How long?

2:33:21

Aerys, wait. What are you doing? You

2:33:30

were talking about opening doors and we're not

2:33:33

opening doors and if I hear Father

2:33:36

Dick Bubbles say one more

2:33:38

word, I'm

2:33:40

gonna dick bubble my brains out. And

2:33:45

I don't know what that means and I don't want to find out.

2:33:51

All right, so you walk

2:33:54

to one of these four quadrants.

2:33:56

Joe, give me the wide view here of

2:33:58

the map. that you've

2:34:00

uncovered the hallways of

2:34:03

the Mysterium. You see that

2:34:05

there are four quadrants

2:34:07

blacked out on the map, several

2:34:09

doors leading in, is it one

2:34:11

large room, several small rooms, what

2:34:14

lies within, if anything?

2:34:18

And remember that sound you heard when

2:34:20

the fourth angel head was moved coming

2:34:22

from the direction of that

2:34:25

statue that Suki paused at,

2:34:27

and Ethel hastily ran by.

2:34:31

What do you do, Eris? I

2:34:35

open the door in front of me. I

2:34:40

have never opened a door. And we'll see you

2:34:42

at Van Coor. Oh, yeah! Thank

2:34:48

to a journey into the heart of the

2:35:46

Texas Renaissance Festival, the nation's

2:35:48

largest and rowdiest celebration of

2:35:50

medieval fantasy. But what

2:35:52

lurks beneath the facade of tights and turkey legs? Well,

2:35:55

we dove deep into the Empire to uncover

2:35:57

2:36:05

fairy tale, it's a cautionary tale
