the icy waters around this temple of the water Lord, finding this underwater tunnel.
Rash Talk, I know ar Cilia disrobed. Have you taken off all
your stuff as well? Yes, I put everything in the bag of holding.
Do you splash into the icy water and there's very little light here.
Arcilia is trying to guide you, sort of pointing, and you are feeling
along these icy walls. Arcilia pulls you up through a hole up above in
the ice. You break the surface yea and immediately trying to get out of
the frozen waters. Looking around, nets, hooks and spears lie scattered about
this small chamber in the southern corner a circle of you see the circle of
ice that you just managed to come through. Or Celia kind of looks around
and says, so what now, it's just a nice fishing I think,
so ah, there may be people close. I think we warm first and
take a quick look around. Okay, do you have any way to warm
us up? I could start a fire, nothing else magical, though,
I could warm bits and pieces of clothing. Yes, I pull out my
clothing and begin to press to digitate, which yeah, light bulk can be
warm and cleaned. Absolutely. It's slow, but it does work. Yeah.
Well, it says, uh that this is two actions to do.
It's a two action in cast. Yes, yeah, so I mean I
don't think it takes that long. No, it's it's a pound basically of
material I can warm. Yeah. Well, you're you're kind of making the
clothes like fresh out of the dryer, m which does kind of warm you
up rather quickly. And you had our Celia's clothing as well in the bag,
right yeah, yes, and arma everything Yeah, uh so slowly but
surely you start warming up a little bit. But putting your clothes back on,
which takes you a few minutes, that's a lot better yes, m
h. If they fish here. They may frequent here on a schedule.
Now, may be only once or twice a day. Maybe I will look
to see if I can get an idea of how many frequent here, and
I'm gonna start looking for tracks. Okay, I guess survival check M.
Thirteen, but I will keep it. Okay, there's there's some wooden slatted
boards that are forming paths in and out of these rooms. You can tell
that there is like another larger open space to the west of you right now.
And it's it's very dark in here. Are you wearing your goggles?
Yes, those do give me a plus one to perception, and I have
to use a spell that's attached to it once a day to give me night
vision. I've not turned that on yet, all right, fair enough,
So it is still pretty dark. Okay, So yeah, it's it's super
dark in here. Then you can't really see much beyond the the the hole
in the ice here. But there are these wooden like sort of pieces of
driftwood that have been tossed down on the ground, you know, in those
kind of in icy environments or just like in really dirty environments, people might
throw down some planks of wood to just give you some traction. Yeah,
that's obviously what seems to have been done here. They're placed around in kind
of like a path, and you can see them in your immediate area.
But other than that, you don't notice any tracks to tell there was one
major room up ahead, yes, just how I can't really see into it
due to the lighting in an open area you've mentioned. Uh, ar Cilia
sort of moves to the corner to get a look around, and okay,
Arcilia is rolling. Oh, I'm rolling pretty well for Arcilia so far?
UH had a plus thirteen to perception Jesus Christ. Okay, Uh, so
our Celia says there are paths with wood on the ground. There's more ice
and some broken up water flowing about. I don't see anyone walking around or
anything. No, the next room over, what are those looks like figureheads?
Maybe like a dozen of them, like for ships that size? It?
Uh, trophies perhaps if they are stranding ships here? Maybe? Yeah?
Do we stay here and meet them in between or swim back? I
think entering this sway maybe our best idea, though, and he won't expect
from here it's better than going through a front door. I think yes.
I don't know if we should both swim back in case there is a complication,
unless we want to both go and then bring everyone. Maybe let's go
together. Then the close back in the bag of holding, and we'll do
the same thing for everyone. Yes, yes, I think that is well.
All right, I begin to put my robes in the bag and take
our sirias and help her with her armor. Speed up the process. Okay,
another few minutes pass. The rest of you are just kind of waiting
for all of this to happen. Do you think they drowned? Surely?
Not right? No, well not the lizard anyway, It's been probably about
ten minutes. What do you mean, so you think our Celia drowned?
Maybe can she breathe under water? Okay, I don't think so. Now
I spend your time worrying. You need to conserve our warmth. We'll be
back soon. Mm hmmm. Do you not like this? Please give me
a fortitude save Ashtak twenty six. Okay, yeah, I think that list.
It will be fine. As Karin says this bursting forth from the frozen
waters, are Celia and Arash talk make their way back onto the ice near
you good. He you are unharmed, both of you. Yes, it
is cold, and I proceed to press to digitate again. M hmmm for
both of us. What did you find wayan Yes, actually a back way
that is an ice fishing tunnel. I believe we found tools and such of
the inhabitants there, but no immediate tracks. Also, celia spotted figureheads may
be collected from ships they have procured, maybe carving them if they are seafaring.
Unsure. M. So you're telling me that we're going to have to
go for a swim. I think it is the wisest over the front door.
Yes, m we have a good Oh yeah, go ahead. What's
your solution? You need to strip down to your underclothes or less and we
will all swim. I can warm and heat up your clothes. On the
other side. Question, M h do you suppose there's enough raw material here
on the ship to create a small diving bell? So at the moment,
you're not on a ship. Sorry, okay, h you are at this
maybe half a mile away or a mile away from where the the ghost pirate
ship was, so we have no access to materials. Mm hmmm. Will
perhips you don't suppose you don't suppose that that, since my alchemist fire in
splash damage mode does not apply damage to my teammates, you don't suppose it
could provide warmth. Mm hmm hm. I believe that which one of you
would like to be the test subject for this? I believe we should go
inside the hole and swim as fast as we can, and then worry about
warmth, because it's not one right here, I can. Do you have
any sort of tinctures for breathing underwater or anything of that nature, any to
do something like that? Well? I have a Actually I have a cheet
as a lixir. Tastes quite nice, like blue raspberry. Would you light
to swim? Well? No, but they are very quick. Maybe this
swim is rather short? All right? Why didn't you lead with that?
Celia went with me, I as assumed. If she could, you would
be fine. A horrific swimmer. The most difficult is when you first jump
in I start stripping down. That's when you want to sort of let go
of all the air that you as you've held for your breath. There's nothing
wrong with this common practice amongst other tribes. I will strip down and I
will be fine, in the water. I've become accustomed to it. I'll
take your clothes and put them in the bag. Maybe we could bring anybody
along with a rope that has trouble swimming. Yes, I could easily pull
someone. Yes, please, yohama. Mm hmmm. I'm going completely naked
only because I don't want my clothes to be wet. Yeah, you don't
want your clothes to be wet. That's that's the most difficult part. Mm
hmm ah, you down and I'll strip as well. There's just like a
silhouette of Arcilia and Malvic, like just shadow. Do you just see them
both like naked doing that? Like you're ready for anything? Pose, I'm
just heating my body up with my internal internal fires. I will not be
stripping. You're gonna go in like that? You are confident you can swim
with that? Yes? I think so. It will be exceptionally cold and
potentially difficult. Y'ah. Would you like to be in between Arsilia and I
believe a Raschalk is pulling me with a rope? Is he not? Or
is someone else putting me with a rope? Somebody just put me with a
rope? Does it sound pleasant? But fine? And now body heats the
best type of heat, and I'll just nobody wants a taste. It is
no, I mean they may. I do not I swim for me?
Fine, you're gonna take one of the Cheeta cheet elixirs. Okay, you
see my lips a little stained blue? Oh my heart, my tiny elf
in heart. I'll ask once again you sure you do not want me to
oyster you through the water. Oh yeah, fine, I'm fine. I
could help what he will get me the fuck back in my clothing and I
will cut my hands and I will say a small little pretapras frastma, I
do not ask you for anything. Then please get me through this very very
fucking quickly. This is verythic, and I will give myself guidance. I'll
just grab on the yard and hold onto and get ready to jump in.
I move the same speed as I do on land, So with ya,
can I sudden charge through the water? Fun? Okay, It's why I
was going to pull it, because I'm the only one with swim speed.
No, no, you're not. You have swim too naturally swim climb mm
hmm. I've got a feet very nice yep, And we all have feets.
Sorry, not for free? All right, I'll uh yeah, okay,
so I'll ask. I'll ask again. Do you want me to hold
I'll take I'll take your arms and i'll do we just follow a roussack.
Are you going to lead the way or is it just one shot? Celia?
And I will yes, and let's go. Now, I don't think
you are is gonna make it. I'll go. I'll have the rope just
in case anyone needs it. Wonderful, thank you. Celia jumps in.
Since Arcilia has ridiculous vision, Uh will lead the way. And I have
ridiculous vision, don't. All right, So I'll grab y'alla and say one
and then I'll jumping onto okayim is perfectly still except for the twitching in one
of her us. All right, jumps in sure okay? Uh? Now
or Celia has a rope for anybody that needs assistance with this. Uh,
I'm going to need fortitude saves from everybody. This is for the cold water,
so if you have any bullshit against the cold, it'll be taking place
here. My body is real hot right now, total fires are I'm just
making sure I can use guidance on a fortitude save which I will seventeen.
I think we're gonna reroll are Celia's eaten. Celia had one hero point that
is now gone again. Okay, let's see Yara, you have a fourteen.
Uh, we get a nineteen from Karun oh fifteen sorry, twenty six
from a rash Chak, thirty four from Malavik. Okay, sou Yara,
as everyone makes it through, you are so cold. It has been exceptionally
difficult to make it through this holding your breath, not losing your breath when
you hit that icy water that was the Really, it's not that far of
a distance. You can almost definitely hold your breath through that length of time,
but trying to keep your breath and when it's that cold is extremely challenging.
You are now fatigued, but you all make it through. You're all
fatigued. No, Yara is oh, I'll immediately start pulling out clothing yours
first and begin warming it. I'll follow up with Karoon since Karoon is wearing
the cold already. Yes, saved your step. I suppose I think you
saved yourself one. Oh right, sorry, I'm thinking five different steps ahead
right now. Yes, I'll take the time in probably five six minutes with
all of us for me to warm everything? Okay, okay, which order
do you warm everybody's clothes? I need? So it was Yara Karun,
are Celia, uh, Malevic and then myself lasts since well there are clothes,
I don't need them for anything? Uh me a D six please three?
Okay uh you said Yara Karun. And then who's third? Are Celia?
Yeah, Arcilia. Yara and Karn have warm clothing on. Rash talk
and Malvic you have the clothing on, but you have not been warmed up
yet. As you are doing this, Arcilia says, sh I hear something,
I prepare an nechemist fire, I just have it. Is there any
sort of cove nearby? The room has a fairly large opening. It doesn't
have a door. Lots of driftwood appears to be the main source of building
material for this temple, so a lot of stuff is haphazard. This isn't
like a properly constructed building. The room that you're in is about like twenty
feet and it's it's not really a rectangle per se. It's a bit more
oddly shape. There's bits here and there, but there's nets and there's like
fishing equipment. There's not really a lot to cover you. You can try
to go into the room with the figureheads. That's potential cover. Oh I'm
looking to everyone else and raising my shoe just in case. Do we want
to move into that room? Instent? What do you think it could be?
Sounds like footsteps, it's obviously footsteps. Is it a threatening footsteps?
Or would you say? Hello? What? What steps sound like? Like
loud? Scary monsters? They just broke in the backway of a temple.
They will not be friendly. Well, let's go to that little go hide.
So what am I doing currently? Am I trying to put on cloue?
You're putting your shit on? Yeah? Is last because he's warming up
everybody's stuff, so doesn't have anything. I'm just nude? Oh? Am
I naked? Because if I'm naked, I'll stand in front and sing glory.
You're I mean you're you're in the process of putting yourself for intimidation instead
of raising my shield? Might I be able to assist one of my patriots
in getting dressed to quicken the pace here? Sure? You can absolutely try,
all right, go into the room to hide. Okay, give me
a step check. Oh no, okay, one with the shadows like you
need to get these rips on you. No, you die fine walking on
your naked I will get grobed some on later. They may have both.
They have no function. Un you rush past. You see a bunch of
these figureheads and you just try to find a space in between them where you
can uh, where you can hide. And as you do what you have
you have elven bullshit. So you're uh, you have decent vision low light
low light vision is uh? You see as you are hiding, you seem
more these throwger that you saw previously. They look like just sort of like
humanoid obviously undead creatures that have like great axes and the sort of sort of
shambling type of gait to their movement. They're moving along these planks in the
ground. It looks like they are headed for the room with the ice fishing
hole. Hmm. But they are not focusing on me or my compeigions.
It seems it doesn't seem like they've noticed you yet. Right then, I
will continue hiding. Okay, I'm almost done putting this so on. You
can go hide now, thank you, Right I will. I'll dart with
yara, and but I'll be behind. I'll follow if they're moving into the
other room. Okay, uh, our Celia says, maybe we should try
to reason with them so we're not hiding. Hi, that could be the
voice of reason if need be door right, fine, I'll try talking,
all right, I will move in the back and in case they are style
and do just that. Well, we're all going to hide, but if
we need someone to speak, I can walk out or one of us.
I'm quite good with my words as well. Any three of us could will
be free. And that they are getting close to they are in the room
with the figureheads right now? Uh did they see? Did did my compatriots
see me? Am I between them somehow? Or am I so good at
hiding the diamon ran in the other room and you went into the the figureheads.
I mean you can probably anybody that doesn't have shitty vision probably would have
seen. Then I will just I will just I will just motion to my
compatriots, like, shut up, look a look with your eyes, your
special eyes. Look, do we see anything? Our Celia is holding up
two fingers. I mean I can see with dog vision that I say any
uh, yeah, absolutely, you see these dragger figures approaching. Okay,
then I'll yeah, I'll grab hands and try to get to a spot where
we could either ambush or let them pass. Okay, I just don't explain
to anyone what it is, because I don't. We don't have time,
so I'll just grab explain on. Once we get to our spot, I'll
follow. Yes, yeah, the rest of you, I need stealth checks.
Twenty seventeen, let me re roll. Hi's all right, there we
go, okay eighteen. It's almost weird to see it too, ye,
muscle mommy uh ar Cilia uh Arsilia is kind of like looking around and she
puts her hand up against the wall to trying like lean back, and as
she does, some of the driftwood gives way. I am just staring at
her with my mouth agape. Her hand is like in the wall, and
she's looking like frantically and like getting her hand out of the wall, and
you see the drawger begin to rush towards the room. Karun, let's bring
you all over here. I can speak of krill to them. Let's bring
you over here. Let's see, Karun. I'm gonna do this because that's
not working. And a rash talk is going to see jacks. Let's see
we need this. Should we roll for initiative? Yes, please select your
tokens and roll for initiative. I'm fixing yours right now, Karun, because
stealth based. I am assuming this is stealth based. Yes, here we
go. Oh okay, alrighty I can't yep. Okay, Uh, let's
see we need as roll from our Celia. Uh and Malvic has eighty hp
mm hm oh no oh no oh no. I guess it makes sense based
on the last roll. Okay, and these guys on perception initiative. Okay,
let's see, Karun, you are first on the list here. Can
I still see the droker? Uh? Yeah, you should be able to.
Can you not see them? I was just having a little difficulty.
Let's move. Oh I see they're right there, right next to me.
Yeah, very well. Do we know anything? Have we established anything about
the drowger the weaknesses that we should exploit or well, our Celia did exploit
vulnerabilities versus them previously in previous encounters and mentioned that they have negative healing.
They the drouger are weak to positive energy and they are immune to death disease,
paralyze poison and unconscious, so death effects I should say, not death
all right, So they're not immune to fire, nope, and to my
knowledge they will not be healed by it. Correct. Then I will let
loose a alchemist's fire directly in between them, actually, because it's so close,
I'll just do it right here to the one close to me, and
then the splash damage will effect is compatriot. It will do better for you
if you aim in between, or if you with a further one, because
you take a melee penalty. If you throw deck close, very will,
then I will. I will throw in between if you throw well, So
if you aim at this one, because your range is ten feet on that
right for your splash damage. So if you aim at this one, that's
your best bet because if you hit him then you can do your full damage
or you can do your splash damage. If you aim in between, it
would just be splash. Then I will do that, okay, Okay,
fifteen is not a hit. So the fire spreads out as this nap palm
like substance covers the dragger as they are rushing towards that room, and that
will deal for damage from your intelligence, right, your intelligence mod Yes,
four. Okay, okay, I also need you to make another role for
me. Please make a dexterity role. Okay, good enough, anything else
on your turn. I will take cover beneath the thing I'm hiding on there,
and this is great to cover, yes, definitely not. This is
just regular cover. I mean it's a figurehead, it's for a ship.
It's not really the best cover, not even if a crouch real smooon.
No, it's about the size of a person that would take It's about the
size of it. Be covered for tiny babies then try then my turn,
good try greater covers. Basically, if you're like behind a wall it okay,
uh malvic, it's your turn. M hm. Well dot has left
the right and it will move up. Actually, don't need to move Oh
yeah, that's five right there. Okay, I will sort off with raging,
but I won't scream it out. Let's hold it in a little squeaker
of a fart that gets pushed, Yeah, exactly, as I'll run up
and I want to take my sword and I'll use it as piercing and go
through the draga. Okay, twenty four, twenty four, that is a
hit crap damage, all right, and then what I would like to do
is a shit. I'm so sorry, I have to retcon. I'm so
sorry, Karun. They are actually resistant to fire. Did you want to
use your the shadow one instead? Yes? Absolutely, I will be using
the less you specifically asked. This is the only reason I'm doing that.
So same thing happens, same damage, just switching around. Sorry, here
you will in Malvic twenty four to hit is a hit fourteen slashing damage you
said you're doing Okay, yeah, I forgot. I have to change it.
It's piercing and with that my last action, I'm a flavor text this
and you tell me if I can do this or not. Since there's a
wall right behind this drug girl, can I push my sword into the wall
and have it count as a grapple not as a freebie? Uh? You
would? You can do it. You can flavor an action that way,
That's what I mean. If you'd like to graple action. Yeah, absolutely,
pretty good. That is a success. Right, So I pin,
it's the wall and I'll look back at I'll look at our cilia. Uh
okay. The Drowger's turn okay, the one that is near you. Karun
does not notice where you are uh, and we'll rush towards this person that
has just impaled the other drowger. Uh, and we'll try and strike it.
Okay, Malvic, you see this other drawger rushing towards you. Again,
you do not have all of your stuff on right now. Just be
aware of that. Oh okay, it takes some time to put all that
stuff back on. Yeah, that's why I had the That's why I had
that role happen. So what do I do lose to Macy? Yeah,
you're flat footed right now? Basically okay, okay, uh, the drowger
are going to this one is going to try and attack you with a great
act. That's the thirty grit four twenty slashing damage. It was fourteen because
of my it's a very HP okay, and also some more fun stuff.
It starts puking all over you. I need you to make a fortitude save.
So I'm guessing the sudden burden or whatever it is called forgot what it's
called, that's not going to happen. I'm sorry, I'm what shared burden,
I'm sorry, Shared burden ar Celia doesn't activate that? Okay, cool,
but i'd ask and what is it a order to save maybe two.
Okay, Uh, you've got almost double or Celia's h fees not the greatest.
I'm trying to get you to all this okay, Uh very well.
Uh you managed to like close your eyes and your mouth and stuff. Is
this thing is sort of hu king all over with rancid flesh and rotting seaweed
covering you. Uh that's move and an attack. It's last action. Uh.
I think we'll uh m hmm, yeah, we'll just go for another
attack. Okay, thirteen hit is a miss this time? Uh. You
managed to dodge out of the way of this attack, Malvic. I think
maybe you sort of kick the drowger, just kind of shove it away.
Do it like one of those pushkicks where you just shove it as you're like
got your sword and pailed in the wall. You just reach upwards with your
leg and shove. The drowger stumbles backwards a little bit. The one you
have pinned against the wall will try to break free. Let's see here,
athletics, that's my ACAN, my DC right, yeah, exactly, what's
your plus athletics your mod for athletics? Uh thirteen okay, so it needed
to be to twenty three and got a twenty nine, so it will.
It's does the thing where it grabs your sword and like pulls it out,
like staring at you in the eyes, rancid, stinky breath and horrible seaweed
like that rotting seaweed smell right in your face. It pulls your sword out
and then reaches back for its great acts and tries to chop you in half
with it. Now, this is the second attack because when you do this,
when you do these like athletics moves, that counts as an attack.
This is a reminder, so it it's actually supposed to be minus I think,
whatever fucking minus eight? Are you earlier the last second? Because you
did, because it would have made it? But don't. Oh god,
it is what it is. Okay. So a nine with this great acte
attack is a miss. You see the attack coming as as it's happening,
Malviki managed to get yeah blocking it a rash shock. You hear the sound
of battle nearby. Ah, yes, shit, I cast light on my
staff. Okay, whoop, it's a twenty foot radius Okay of light.
Let's sneeze see well and then oh yes, I'll let you know what I'm
doing. Just oh, I'm sorry I should have mentioned this. So my
I am using file my sword, but it would have gone out when I
stabbed the the the enemy, so you would have seen a flint if you
need me. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, that's uh
no mm hmm, that's unfortunate. My final action will be casting guidance upon
Malvic though, as when the light does and that like go out, I'll
see these surrounded by two draga. Let's try that and now try this again.
Uh should be emanating bright light. I can refresh just to see if
it's a refresh. Can the rest of you see more? Now I get
to see the two dragon next to me. I can see it little better
on my own. I refreshed and see much much more. Yes, refresh,
okay, okay, yes, a RAS shock you cast light. There's
one action, yes, uh it's two of my actions were for lights and
the final is guidance on Malevic and that is my turn. There we can
see now, I can see now, okay, thank you rosstok okay,
light and guidance on Malvic. All right, it's your turn. All right.
I am going to go ahead and I will summon up that inky blue
energy again in my hand and cast it towards the creature in front of Malvics,
the one that I can see in my eye line, and I will
cast disrupt undead on it. It must make a basic fortitude saving throw twenty
eight. All right, So on success, it's going to take half of
the damage, which should be eight, yes, eight points of positive damage.
So even though you hit this creature with half of the intended blast,
you can see that it's flesh starts to erupt and is especially reactive to the
positive energy. Well, that is fortuitous. I'm going to go ahead and
then move using my final action closer to Malavik so that I might be able
to assist him on my next turn. And that is my turn. Okay,
yeah, a lot of it undid flesh just kind of like boiled off
almost like horrific. Smells sluff so bad it sluffed. That's a good word.
Yes, Okay, our Celia will suppose vulnerability, exploit vulnerability. I
think I explain that I can also cast a wall of text class. Okay,
and let's see this is a that's a terrifor. Yes, that's right.
Twenty three is a regular success. Yep. Oh wait a minute yep
together okay uh, and then Arcilia relays the information. Uh, they take
negative healing, they're immune to death, disease, paralyzed, poison, unconscious,
and they are weak to positive energies and resistant to fire. No,
not weak to cold. You're strong against cold. Oh good, okay,
and then our Cilia will attack worth I think the did I just say poison
was part of that? Yes? Okay, not attacking with the dagger.
Ar Celia gave up the spear right, she has a mourning star spear broken.
The mourning star will be the attack then, okay, okay, twenty
four to hit for seven bludgeoning plus five yes, okay, so that's twelve
damage Arcilia. As this thing is engaged with malvic Arcilia just comes up with
like a baseball bat swing and just plum knocks this thing's head off and it
hits the other drowger. As the head comes flying off, the head just
kind of like it's still like moving for a second, like the jaws like,
and then you see the life drain out of its eyes as it does.
Arcilia has to make a this will be a will save even though it
doesn't. Actually that's the one that makes the most sense for this, I
think, and just said well last time, if that's what I think,
Yeah, I think so okay ooh no, re rolls there, that's not
good. Uh uh oh okay. As this Drowger falls, you can see
this sort of water like blue green energy sort of escape from the Drawger's body,
and Arsilia is a sort of roaring as she's attacked this creature with the
morning Star, and this energy sort of gets taken in by Arcilia. I
do not know something something just I saw something. It went in my mouth.
What what what was that? She looks a little strange and stumbles a
bit as she rushes to fight the next Drouger. So since we have a
bond, do I get any glimpse of what she's feeling. You pick up
some emotions and you see flashes of what Arcilia saw, this sort of bluish
greenish energy, and there's obvious concern and worry that's being sent to you right
now, Malvic. Because of your bond. Arcilia rushes past the Drowger.
Uh and uh, I will position herself over here to make this draw your
flat footage for any attacks, for any melee attacks. Okay, Karun,
it's your turn, all right, hand crossbow, don't fail me. Now
I will take the crossbow and I will fire a bolt at the creature.
But first I'm going to accidentally close my character sheet to make it even more
difficult. There we go. A hand crossbow. Hey, look at that,
oh elms at twenty eight to heads us it hit it does? You
can see that it penetrates the armor a little bit. Incredibly dragger maybe even
noticed it. There's one damage. Yes, I love that. When you
actually get the hit, it's minimum damage. Amazing. Yes, Karun,
you you have successfully hit a creature with your hand crossbow. Fantastic. I
will celebrate beneath the table with cover, and that is my turn. There's
the table behind the figurehead. Behind the figure head. Alrighty Alvic, it's
your turn. Concerned about oursila that and I at yaa, but at the
same time, will spin and slice my sword in a backhand motion towards this
creature. Thirty two Pretty good. Let me see if that's a crit.
That is a crit. Oh, actually, I'm sorry, Karun, yours
is also a crit. Wow graduated. Should I rouse the critical damage then
you just double it let's just double it. Yeah, okay, excellent,
Okay, Malvic? Uh, how do you annihilate this creature? I think
I swing with so much force that I wait, wait, we gotta hold
on. I got an idea here. Wait, Karun's attack, like just
hit this and you attack like at the same time. So I'm absolutely taking
credit for it. I want everyone to know this is my kill. I
did this. Yeah. I think I swing so hard that it doesn't do
a clean cut. It just kind of eviscerates it. That splits it apart
right where the arrow where where the arrow is going in. It goes goes
like this, but it explodes at the same time. It was like,
did you cut? Did you see that? You killed it? Incredible?
It's incredible you did. Just see me on the other side. It just
kind of like does this? So you come to me, Malvic. As
you yell this, you start to see the same blue green light begin to
emerge from this creature. I need it will save twenty Okay, you see
the same blue green light, but it dissipates before it reaches you. Did
you see that? That was a No, it went inside of let's see,
and I don't feel right about it. You need to look after her
immediately. What's something that happened. I'll check you, Elsie would be an
arcona check or occultism to get an idea of what that might have been.
Uh, I will take a religion. It's definitely not religion. I will
take occultism or arcana. Yeah, I'll do ocultism. Then Celia is gonna
make an esoterical oral twenty seven twenty eight from Martelia. So you're remembering something
about these drowger. There's rumors of a curse called the Sea's Revenge that can
take hold of someone after killing a drowger and um m, I trying to
find the exact text here. But this curse uh also known as a Mariner's
curse. Effectively, this will make someone sickened, and the only way to
stop this from happening is to bury the drowger that cursed person. Uh,
to bury them at sea. Yeah that's easy. Anybody though, where we
can get one of those and one of what the sea point in the icehole?
Ah? There I can. I haven't warmed myself up yet. I
could go dive in with it and set it adrift. We have to do
a proper burial. Do we have to make some sort of coffin or something
other, or do we just put it's a rest in the sea. It
is recommended a proper burial. I'll just walk around and start collecting broken wood
off the ground. And so I was the one who shlouted it. I
suppose I could say a few words. You could be the one to build
this coffin. Is what you can do? Yes, Oh, it was
the one that she killed, not the one that you did. But yes,
and then the one that who killed you can say, Celia. You
can still say some words if you want. I would be happy to build
the coffin. Great, perhaps a small boat. A burial at sea is
usually done by a boat. I will make the coffin the boat. Yes,
we need to hurry. Is kind of like moving over to the side,
sort of wretching a little bit dry heaves. Do I see anything I
could build the coffin out of? In here? It's in your wood.
Around, there's figureheads, there's the walls are made of drift wood. You
can probably take them apart, but it will definitely make some noise. What
about taking a figurehead and carving it a space to put the druger, and
it doesn't have to be a full body space. We shove it inside of
it. How much of the dragger is left after all of this? Is
it still whole full sized drug? The one the one that you and Malvic
killed sort of roughly chopped in half, the like a diagonal, you know,
sort of cut so we could arrange it so that it's some more compact.
It's not the right one, the one that the other one is the
one? Yeah, oh never mind, no one was beheaded. Oh well,
we still compacted a bit. Yes there. If this does not work,
the other option is waiting until tomorrow. I can prepare curse removing spell.
I will begin crafting a coffin out of this shigure head here. I
could help speed it up if you wish. Okay, Uh make a crafting
and stealth roll. I I'm helping, so I will do both. Yes,
do craft to a critical success. On stealth. I'm naked. I
have nothing to jingle jangle. I mean, I don't you know, I
don't tell m the even has the any tool out. She's got little goggles
on. She's like, here, hold the spanner while I cut this thing
proper. And uh, you begin to carve away at this figurehead. Uh,
this is gonna take you a few hours, but you get to work.
H end me that spannersten m hm. Snacks or not nocks, It's
fine. I would just bendag myself in the corner while I look at her
to see if anything else dis coming. I'll still stay on watch. Okay,
I will go ahead and I will look through the pockets of these creatures
or see if they have anything of use on them. Sure, only eight
twenty sixteen. Okay, you find sixteen silver pieces. You find they have
two great axes. Their armor is crap. You can't really use it.
It's it's leather. You can maybe take it apart from scraps. Might this
be useful to you in your project? There's some scraps here, karoon.
Could you you see that the strap still help bind the wood? Oh?
Certainly? What kind of leather is it? Is it pebble? Is it
a nice suede perheps? Leather? Kind aid from armor? It's this human
it's a amalgam of a few different animals, and there is probably some human
leather there. I will take this into note, but will not say it
out loud. Just mhm. Right, wasn't the rest in the bag?
Sorry just because I did you eat it? Just tasting it? Okay,
said to confirm cannibalism or not? All right, it's not cannibalism. It's
human human humans a fair game. Actually, So you spend hours, uh
starting to carve this and it goes undisturbed, rolled a natural one on that
one. But you are able to do this. It takes a while.
Afterwards. Our celia is like very sick, like openly puking like periodically.
Looks terrible. It's like sitting and leaning up against the wall, very off
color. Eyes are sort of a bit jaundiced, like a little bit yellow,
and does not look good. But you managed to put together this mock
coffin. I guess it's not mocking necessarily above all the insults I've written over
the course of creating it. And uh, yeah, what do you do?
You've made something the listen and I will definitely carefully lift the creature on
three one two, we'll lift it into the coffin. We push it out
over towards the opening. Yes we should the leather strap it in, Oh,
yes we have. We will strap it down nice and type strapping and
strapping and strapping. Leave the coffin. All right, everyone, get around.
We are gathered here today for very special occasion. It is one where
please, this is a moment of very somber attitude. Sorry, that wasn't
for what you were saying, Get on with it. We gathered here today
to commemorate the unlife of one uh. You know, guy. He's a
good guy, probably in life, but in unlife. Uh probably woke up
every day, put one foot in front of the other, and sought out
human or elven flesh to munch upon. Please. Sorry, And although we
do not condone the munching of human flesh necessarily, we will still commemorate the
unlife and the life of this unknown guy. And so let it be known
before all of these witnesses that we have com emorated here today, Guy,
a valiant, unknown soldier of the undead. Please take with us our prayers
and farewell. Anyone else have anything to say? Final less words, guide
them back come a sympathy vomitor, and guide them back to the boneyard where
they may meet your judgment. Mm hm. I bought them on them as
a libation. I say burn in hell because it heals them right, if
they're undead, right, maybe when do we send it out to the sea?
Now? God please? Now three? If it doesn't look like it
will push through all the way, I'll follow it and swim pushing it.
Oh, definitely, you're pushing. You're pushing wood into the water. It
just floats, Amen, It's just floating there. You see it like vertically
like Bob like this. I want to get it like into the tunnel so
it kind of like slides with it kind of idea. Okay, but yes,
I'll swim with it. Sure you pull it through the tunnel. It's
it's pretty difficult make an athletics check. Yes, sure please failing twenty one,
ha ha, I have some strength. It's weird who said TTRPGs aren't
players against right, I'm just to me these scenes, these scenes that happen,
these like coincidental, hilariously stupid types of experiences. When when there's like
a repeated series of failures that happen around those scenes, it makes me so
happy. Admittedly, I would have been very happy with the failure because I'm
just imagining a raschalk trying to pull a figurehead through an ice fishing hole.
Uh, that's in freezing water like and somehow we've spent hours here. Yep,
yep, you got this m yeah, a rash talk. You managed
to pull it through the tunnel. It's not easy at all. You struggle
the whole time, but you do as soon as it makes. It means
dragging along the top of the tunnel, essentially because the wood it keeps,
you know, trying to go up. You're pulling it through the tunnel,
and you pull it through to the other side, it like burst forth on
the other side, floating on the top. It wasn't that difficult. And
this went back, popping up clearly like out of breath after trying to come
back. It wasn't too bad. Who Arcilia pukes again, this time also
vomiting forth this blue and green curse. You see color begin to return to
ar Celia's face and her eyes sort of slowly returned to their normal color.
Oh h, we be uncaution whenever we slice one of those things in two?
Yes, did he holds your breath? Keep your mouth and no plug
your nose or nostrils? Mmm? Maybe and we should go on an empty
stock I have food. Well, I'm thinking maybe we fight on an empty
stomach and kill you. I see, yes, so you see what you
mean? I thought you meant you needed food, as you are no longer
containing any after we're done here. Yeah, on the right side, you're
still beautiful when you vomit. Thank you. It's bubbly water for your upset.
Chummy, she didn't mean I thank you. I mean I have tea
you smiling? She meantn't it? Hm? Hm? Who continue to put
on my clothing? Arm? You've been here for hours. I assume you
were getting dressed now this is so yeah, wiggle wagon, I am now
drying my clothes and probably yours. I've been helping karoon carves, so yours
are dryer now, thank you, and am now examining the crossbow for anything
different about it, looking for a potential potential excess built into it. Uh.
You begin to examine the hand crossbow, wondering how how has it missed
so often? How has your skill been disregarded when you've been using it?
Clearly you are an expert with such a weapon. After what just happened,
obviously there must be some kind of tip cursed. Make a crafting check if
there is something that has cursed this hand crossbow. I cannot find it the
magician or a warlock or evil incarnate that placed something upon this weapon. You
know it, that's hidden it too well, Hm, I will have to
seek one of these healers out, one of these, one of these ranged
weapon healers. Perhaps they will know how to break the curse. I say
aloud, right, nothing cursing, nothing, cross It just broke nothing.
Never mind, is anyone hurt throughout the time that we would have been doing
all of this. If Malevik had a moment, I would have worked on
him with treat wounds at an expert level four eighteen points of healing. Perfect,
much better now, thank you alive. I wasn't a bandage on my
eye? Are quad of course? And that being said as well, Jim,
I believe that our Celia started with damage on her today, but she
never took damage. We healed up while we were resting and whatnot. So
I just wanted to make sure before we got into any of the combats that
she was all covered up showing her as damaged at the moment. So it
is our character sheet. So I don't know if it wasn't healed last time
or what, But yeah, I think she forgot the update the sheet because
we had a full rest, and Yarra was healing those who were damaged while
we were resting on the ship. And this is the only combat I think
in between that. Yes, right, But at any rate, if she
did somehow magically get damaged, I can work on two people at once,
so she sealed? Okay? Also fair? Do I have enough time to
is this? What kind of a rest are we doing here? Is it
possible for me to craft the more you were crafting the entire time this year?
Work in the interim? Yes? Is it all right if I craft
more bombs? How long will that take? We've already spent quite a bit
of time. Ah, never mind, then it will take a long time.
Yes, you should probably be on our way. Yes, you know
I still have some alchemist fire if anyone wants a taste for science. No
right suit you said your cheetahs elixir I think has run out as well by
now, right? It run out a long time ago. No longer do
I feel the sense of urgency and dread. It's basically, like I say
loud, it's like living in New York City. Now, looking around the
chamber, do we see any other entrances. So we have the place where
we came in from, which is where we are right now, skewed into
the main room, and that's where the figureheads are, right. Do we
notice any other entrances if I walk around a bit or anything that seems out
of place? There are some doors to the northwest, and I mean it
does appear like there's oh like the place kind of opens up. What you
can tell from this room whatnot. I think you've all been kind of trying
to keep a low profile here though, so and is there anything strange about
these figureheads at all? They're all different figureheads. You can make a perception
check for me. I think all right, I'm mostly just trying not to
revisit that one time in that cave where we got all sorts of horrific memories
and whatnot. That's a twelfth sure, I don't think so. Well,
it looks like the place opens up if we move a little bit further in.
Do we wish to start looking around? I think that maybe best I
have everything all now excellent, I could start scouts to go ahead if you'd
like. Well, if we're going, you helped Captain Danhill. I think
we're going to have to yes, yes, that will make my way then
mm hmm, myself and Joanna will follow you. Oh, Joanna, my
hand crossbow. Uh. And just see she has finally tasted blood and therefore
deserves a name. That's a great name. Coron Joanna, that's good,
good elephant name. All right, let's do it. I will I will
move forward and start to look around. Sure, passing the figurehead room to
the northwest, you can see two doors. I think you would get the
impression that's probably like the main entrance. Mm to the right, to the
left, right, there's three sort of very wide looking corridors that branch from
that intersection. So the way that you've come uh something heading north and then
to the to the east. All around you can see that the walls of
this temple are made of thick piles of like rotting ship lumber, rusty anchors,
and crumbling humanoid bones. There is a shallow channel of water that is
sort of flowing around the ice floes here. Mhm. Zara looks fairly clear.
I will continue to move forward. What is it that we're looking for
again? The niad the creature, looking for a creature that essentially is ruling
this area in theory to try to treat with it or defeat it. Though
it is not normally hostile for our kind, we will not treat. There
is something, Julish, I can see. I think someone is kneeling down.
Yes, you can see it as well. Ah, they cannot see
that far. We'll move up slowly in stealth in order to get behind this
wall. Okay, Alvic. As you move to that wall, you are
greeted by something A bit of a surprise, is it cake? Not quite,
Malvic. As you are trying to stealth, I need you to make
a stealth check for me, please. Okay, there's my barbarian stuff kicking
to play with this as well. I don't know what that'scificum, I swear
something can't ambush me. Where is it? Deny ambush? I believe it's
called me hold. I have it written down here. Here's deny advantage.
Yeah, I'll just post it. M all right? Still check? Thanks,
check? Okay, Malvic, you're greeted by something. Oh, look
at where a rash talk is. Okay, great. You see two cubid
large creatures around a water wheel and they look like this, Oh that Chewbacca.
They look a little bit like Cuebacca. One of them has clamped the
water wheel in two hands. It has sort of stopped this water wheel.
And there is another one that's kind of looking around and you can see that
it has noticed a rash talk. It is turning and it looks like it
is about to do something. What do you do? One questioning like why
is a talk there? So still naked? No? No, no longer,
no I will I want to do two actions, but I want to
do it while at the same time while moving story all want infinite actions.
But tell me what you're trying to do and we'll see it. Right.
Yeah, So while moving in this direction here it stealthily, I'm going to
toss my hatchet at this back wall over here. Yeah, I want to
throw my hatchet at that back wall. Actually, since I'm already stealth,
I can just throw the hatchet at that back wall and hopefully distract them.
Okay, go for it, Give me a tankroll, range a tankroll with
the hatchet. Hatchet sales past playing, you see the creature turn and look
around quickly. It looks over its shoulder and you're trying to do something else?
What are you doing? Yeah? I was, I was gonna do
it while moving, So I was gonna move behind this boone wall and to
try to get ross sucks attention and cooling. Then I see that, and
that's the only thing I see outside of hearing a noise and immediately start like
nope, nope, nope, nope, nope nope, or a rash shock,
make a stealth check absolutely getting a circumstance bonus. I think I'll leave
rot it okay, twelve getting rerolled er ap points bent twenty seven. Okay,
a RAS shock, you quickly like dart back and uh this creature like
it turns back around, malvic and I snuff out my light by the way,
okay, just an instant dismiss so I can't see, but you snuff
out the light. The creature is sort of looking around a little confused to
move, so obviously got a question mark over its head. So I'm looking
at our cilia, I think the only one that can see me right now,
and I'm just going like, uh, like raises up the morning star
is what direction is it walking? I mean it's walking towards where a rash
talk was. Mm okay, oh boy, And what I will do?
I will move here and as soon as it crosses that corner, I don't
think we can avoid this. I'm going to ready my great acts, my
great acts, my great sword, and when it's crosses that corner in range,
I'm going to go for an ambush attack. Okay, Uh, I
mean you guide to see him at this point, Malvik from where you can
see him, since he is closest, if possible, might I be able
to cast a preemptive forbidding ward on him in order to give him a bonus
toes Ac. Okay, just throwing out new spells everywhere, all right,
I've had this one since beginning, actually, okay, and I will sustain
that. Okay. You see the creatures starting to move closer. Uh.
You see our Cilia like raise up the morning star, and then as the
creature turns the corner, staring at our Cilia, Arcilia has a morning star
ready and the creature begins to move forward. Everybody, please select your tokens
and roll initiative of that roll stuff right, yes? Twenty seven? Do
we all rose stife initiatives? Uh? No, get it out now,
get it out now. I can't find a rule battle be It's definitely the
way that it works and we need these creatures. Alrighty, it's the weirdest
name ever. Alrighty, natural to plenty. Oh okay, first things first,
Malvic, you have essentially ready to attack. You can make your attack.
Yes, I'll like, I'll do a this time. I'll actually market
gotta get in the habit of doing this. Can I just check both of
them? Might be easy, you know, just announce which one I'm using.
I'd be piercing. And this is just a regular attack without rage because
I did not rage yet. Twenty two okay, twenty two to hit.
It's just barely a hit. M Well, let's go and I'll sink my
sword into his side. Yowls and pain as it begins to move. It
sort of twists. As you sink your sword into this creature, it yowls
in pain, and then it will, with its large body and mouth,
will try to bite you with its jaws. Oh okay, thirty one.
It's not a grit, but it does it. Okay, it also grabs
you with its jaws. As that is low damage, but that is a
twelve piercing damage minimum, not quite minimum, but almost damage. We'll scream
out. I don't want to alert the other one. I'll just look back
at it starts to lift me. It starts to lift you up with its
jaws as Malvic in its jaws and will swallow hole. I'm a big man,
I'm allowed to swallow. Okay, it's jaw fuck sort of detaches and
opens wide. Do you see, Malvic? But I can't make a tack.
No, it is a special ability that it gets. It had to
succeed on that jaws, on that jaws attack. Uh. That's all its
actions now. But you see Malvic is swallowed whole. Uh Okay, my
Alvic. Here's the interesting part. You are in this creature's digestive system.
Now, let's see here, we got a bunch of special bullshit in case
this happens. I have to read this special bullshit here. Sorry, this
is a special creature for this adventure path. It's the first time for everything.
I've never been swallowed before. I got to see what you are able
to do, because I know you are currently grabbed essentially, but you cannot
escape the same way that you would normally do it with athletics or with acrobatics.
Malvic, what are you going to try to do? I mean,
it's just like a magical tint where inside of this creature is big? Or
is it? It's a large creature. This is a giant creature. It's
a titan. It's not a titan. It is large. It's significantly bigger
than you though, Okay talking like fifteen feet tall. Okay, I'm sorry,
not fifteen. Less than fifteen. I think it's a little bit less.
I think it's about twelve or thirteen feet. All right, Well,
the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to man, I can't
swing a great sword inside here, because right it's it's not big. You're
taking a circumstance penalty. Okay, Well, first I'm going to try to
summon my hatchet back that's on the outside. Uh okay, hold on,
I do that, or am I grabbed and I need to struggle out of
one size category smaller that is you. You are still grappled. You cannot
swing your great sword in here, but you can use a smaller weapon.
Okay, I'm going to summon my hatchet back the ruin of return, it's
on the outside. They're not going to have it to come at full speed.
Yes, Oh that's amazing. Okay, yeah, make an attack roll
with it. Well, first, I have three I have three goes.
Right. First, I'm going to rage inside the stomach, hopefully give it
indigestion. Okay, Then the fire. I am going to summon back this
hatchet for twenty nine. Okay, uh, you return the hatchet. It
sinks into the flesh of this creature. It does not go through yeaowls in
pain though, and then I will oh afore that damage is fire. Then
so I don't know if it's fur kids on fire or whatever. I don't
know. It looks trippy. I will begin to tear at its insides with
my fists over my hands. Okay, I'll make unom strikes. Absolutely,
that'll be a number two. What do you call it? Yeah? Yeah,
nineteen. Uh. You can't really get a good angle on this.
Okay. For my last action, see that I am struggling. Flashbacks of
ancient arts flashed in my head. M M. I started a deep browl,
deep within the bit of my stomach, and as I open my mouth,
you see a ball of fire start to build up. And I would
do dragon spit, produce flame okay inside of this creature. And I could
do this, I will because it's an innate ability. Okay, this isn't
your deviant feet, is it? No? This is uh the draconian feet.
Okay, So is it either melee or range? Make a spell attack
role? Now here's a question for our pathfinder nerds out there. Is this
considered part of the multiple attack penalty? I would assume, so I think
spell attacks. That's a good question. Actually I don't know. Spell depends.
Does it have the attack traits? Would be yes, it does,
But this is a magic spell. It says this is normally a range attack,
but you can also make a melee attack against a creature in your unarmed
reach. Hmmm. The word means They use the words attack many times here,
which is who can encounter it as that? I mean it would?
It just means that I could use it at any range and it should.
Yes, if the spell has the attack track like produced flame, does it
contributes to map? So yes, it has? The attack is apply.
So this is with a minus ten. So unfortunately that is not a success.
I think what happens is you are trying to move around and get like
some kind of You want to hit as much of it, as much of
this creature as possible, but as you're moving as the creatures moving around,
You're losing your balance and it just kind of uh, it's it's you don't
get the right You're not able to perform the action that you would normally do
to produce this. I was gonna bite at it, and you just see
flames come out and then fizzle out. Ah. I was just scream inside
and I'm done for my accident. Okay, rash talk. Yes, it's
very dark, and I'd like to fix that for myself. I activate my
goggles. What does that look like a single action. I put my hand
up to these new goggles I have and kind of just twist the lens and
I now have dark vision for an hour. They almost glower. I like
a dim red color. Give me dark vision, okay, And that is
one action. That is one action. And for my second action, I
saw this thing. No uh, I didn't see it eat him. I'm
still gonna do the same thing, but for I mean, it's the different
reason I would have heard like ar Celia kind of yell out like Malavic,
you just eat Malovic? Okay. If I heard that, that secures us
even more. Dublin Box it needs to make a twenty one fortitude save as
bugs begin to nip it me, bite me, and then fly over and
bite it, spreading this sickening disease. Okay, it has to make a
fortitude safe. It's probably not good at that, right, everything's good at
fortitude safe barely, so it is not a critch. So the second one
sickond one, which means it needs to wretch to remove the second condition if
it wishes to remove it, and there's someone inside of it which would be
wretched up if it chooses that. Very smart, very smart. That is
my final action for my turn MATTERVI. Hold on, I'm going to try
to get it to throw ap. Can you imagine like Malvic's face just against
the stomachs like angry face against the stomach. Don't worry, I made it
sick like little glows like you see, like some fire like little glows on
this creature's stomach, just barely vaking sway through the skin. Okay, alrighty
is that a for return of rostock? That is it? Yes? Okay,
our Celia will try and expose vulnerability, start things off. I mean
esoteric Laurel twenty one. Oh oh oh, I don't think there's no just
barely just barely. Okay, mmm, these are I think I have heard
of these creatures before. They are cavern or they are amphibious fay creatures.
They do not like cold iron, but they are resistant to cold. And
you can see our Cilia's the Yara's morning star. I guess that belongs to
our Cilia. Now take on this sort of glow as she rushes forward and
will try and bash this thing in the leg, probably trying to like take
out its knee or something. Just narratively, okay, that's a natural one.
Um. Not rolling well for our Celia today. Sorry, my normal
player character rolling abilities have been turned off for the day. I guess Marcelia
rushes up, the creature just kind of shoves her out of the way,
pushes her off balance as she goes for the swaying missing. Okay you are
it'swer your turn. As she says this, I will glance down at my
rapier, which is cold iron, thankfully, thank you Dronis. But to
question before I strike, I cannot see Malvic. There is nothing on forbidding
ward that mentions I need to keep them in my eye line if I sustain
it. But I would like to clarify with you before I make an attack,
whether I am able to use the turn to sustain my forbidding ward on
Malvik. It just says the cast is somatic and verbal, so I don't
see any reason why you would excellent. So my first turn will be spent
trying to sustain nut spell, and the next I will take my other hand
and I will summon forth the needles from the rape year will it will aberate
in the form of these needles floating above my hand. They are cold iron,
and I will throw a strike towards this creature that is a natural one
or twill, so that does not hit you. See all the darts sort
of like, uh, they're a bit out of control, and you're trying
to like figure. I think maybe you're trying to think about, like where
Malevik is in this creature's stomach, trying not to hit him with all these
needle darts, and my most assuredly panicking, yes, okay, is that
it for your turn? Yes? Indeed, that is my turn, Harun.
I've already begun cocking, Joanna. I want to name that the episode
so badly. I deal, Joanna, don't fail me. Now that take
aim and the fire at the creature's feet. The timing was so good on
the music. I was waiting for the attack roll to absolutely synergize with it.
Unfortunately, a seventeen is not going to cut it. You aim at
the creature's feet and it sort of just sails into the ice. Joina I
said, don't fail me. That is a miss. I will take cover
and that is my turn. Okay, alrighty, bad news, bad news,
alrighty, let's see. Oh boy in coming? Asked, is damage?
I'm going to need you to make this supposed to wretch before it does
anything. I'm just asking No, it doesn't have to, yes, ah,
gotcha? All right, Okay, go for it does take a minus
one to all checks in DCS. It does for anything, it rolls mm
hmmmmmmm mmmm. Okay, you just not get a saving throw. That's crazy,
and his stomach does that makes sense? Okay, here we go.
I don't think there's a saving throw for this. Take eighteen acid damage,
Okay, it's gonna be a twelve. Alrighty uh. The digestive fluids of
this creature are just eating away at your clothing and armor and sizzling on your
skin. Then the creature will the covern nerror just the mos sock covernor hertzog.
I'm so tempted to give them the Werner hertzg voice. Okay, uh,
I think it will strike out at our Celia with uh it's fist yep.
Oh, that's a natural one miss, A big like Haymaker of an
attack you could tell would have done a lot of damage if it connected.
Arcilia just ducks underneath it. It sort of just a very awkward like front
kick. Will then try and like attack with with with this with its foot
now basically is like an unarmed kind of strike. Okay, that is a
twenty seven to hit. That is not a crit on our Cilia twenty six
twenty six, yes, thank you, that is not a crit but does
hit for fifteen bludgeoning damage. Who kicks Arcilia probably like right in the solar
plexus and doubles She doubles over in pain from the strike, and then we'll
go for a jaws attack that is a miss. After it kicks our Cilia,
she doubles over, goes into try and bite and does not connect.
Our Cilia just sort of spins out of the way. Okay, Malvic again,
I will I can't make an all right, I will try to worry
about his insides once again, sus two damage. Oh that is a cret
malevic. He starts tearing away this creature's insides and you can see it sort
of stumbles around a little bit to everybody outside and wretches and s fuse out
Malavika. As I hit the ground and presume slide a little bit, we'll
change my position, get on all fours and throw myself at this creature and
strike with my great sword. Okay, canceled, Okay, here we go.
This will be with four fire damage included. Twelve. That is a
miss. It's sort of still like clutching at its stomach as you did this,
but it's like quick enough to turn up and see you try to attack
it. And I think as you strike with your great sword, it just
uses the wall to sort of block. It just kind of moves around the
corner a little bit. Okay, I will look it in my attack.
Okay, eleven, that is a miss. You strike again with your great
story. You're still sort of like covered in this intestinal goop and you just
kind of slide a little bit on the ice, catching yourself off balance,
and you miss the strike. Okay, I will take a deep breath and
puff poison at it, and you have your range and touch attacks. The
range is thirty feet because of the reach feet. Okay, it also has
a minus one. It's forty too. You'd save do to being sick and
sick Now four? Is it? Is it reach feet or is it reach
spell? Because reach spell takes an action, it's metamagic. Ah, let
me double check because I think it is a feat for me. I could
still do it. I still have yes. No, I'm just letting you
know because it's important for us supposed to be aware of it. To be
honest, it just says if the next action uses cast a spell that has
a range, increase it. Well, there is an action, but in
a single action if you hover over it, is it reach spell? It
is reached spell? Yes, yes, there is a single action token next
to it if you look at the spell description. Yes, ah, yes,
very good. That's still I still can do it. But that is
very good to know. Thank you. One action so this will be three
actions to do this then? Yes? Yeah, okay, okay, tune
save on this creature. Thank you for the spot, Yara, you can
have a hero a point. Thank you very good. Okay, it is
a success. So it will take half the damage and half the persistent and
also have a title, and the target takes half initianal in persons in damage.
Weird, but I will fix that thing up in I think that's from
dragging the spell over. That might be a roll twenty one because I cut
and paste everything. Okay, so it'll have uh that is supposed to be
automatically heightened so that it says buy that for now. That's final. Leave
it as is too damage with one persistent. I'll figure out how much it's
supposed to be in the future. And that is my tid. Our Cilia
ill of it? Are you? Okay? No? Respond? I just
want to destroy this thing. And I think you see a similar look on
Arcilia's face as your emotions kind of pass over each other, the worry as
well as the anger, and our Cilia reaches well. I already said that
the morning Star was out, so let's see the morning Star again twenty five
to hit with the morning Star, and that is a hit. There is
a woof as the morning Star connects with the creature, making it stumble into
the wall, and this hollow thud boom. As the morning Star hits connects,
the creature yowls and pain and that's four five additional Okay, And well
then I think I think our Cilia is going to roar like Malavic does with
his rage. I'll try and intimidate the creature for a demoralization. Twenty two
is the test. Okay, I think when she does it, I will
roar and sync. Is that as well? Yes, creature sort of like
steps back for a moment. It does that thing that like bullies do when
they realize like oh oh oh. And as the roars go off, you
can see the creature sort of like look a little bit bewildered at the smaller
creatures that are attacking. Our Celia will then use her final action to strike
with the morning Star. Eighteen is a miss. Unfortunately this time. I
think it's a hit, Like we actually see the morning Star connect, but
our Cilia can tell it's like a glancing blow. It just kind of passes
through some of the fur of the creature, not making solid contact. Yara,
it's your turn, all right. A glance over at Malavik relieves that
he has been now released from a very acidic prison, and I will go
ahead and maintain the concentration on the spell, or I will what is it,
basically, just make sure that the spill continues on him to say thank
you. That is the word. But from there I will go ahead and
I will summon back my needle darts to my hand and try and launch them
yet again at this creature for twenty seven to hit. That is a hit,
okay. Feeling some additional cold iron damage, you can see some of
the fur on this creature start to like like catch a little bit of fire
just like quick if you've ever like burned hair before you know, it just
kind of sizzles a little bit like melts away where it connects. All right,
that is my ten. There was all three actions. Okay, alrighty
Karun. I know that we've had our differences, Shoanna, but please please
me and I load the crossbow and the fire the crossbow again at the feed
Malevic's not in there anymore. But you just don't like this creature's feet then
yet it twenty four is another hit two in one episode. Absolutely you strike
with the crossbow bolt blasts this thing right into the right into the meaty part
of its foot. I will load the cross I will take so bad by
the fact that with the can cross for twice in one episode, she doesn't
know what to do. Now, Joanna, perhaps the curse has been lifted.
I will take cover and that is my turn. Actually, also,
apologies, but I forgot to make you make a I think it's fortitude save
for bleeding, not you. No, no, no, no, no,
yes. Let's see here. Is it fortitude the bleed? Oh no,
no, never mind, it's for a Chris. I'm so sorry.
I was thinking of a different spell. My apologies. Johanna has tasted blood.
Oh crap, I forgot some into Oh well, I forgot when I
quit. Now I get extra stuff, all right. The burner that was
holding the water wheel yells and does anybody speak joking? H no, no,
okay, nope. Uh. It will begin to rush towards the group
as well. Let's see here, I just want to check on the speed.
Okay. Uh, it's gonna rush around the other way, uh,
using two actions to do that, and then uh actually, fuck it,
we're gonna go here and let's uh let's make Malevic flat footed and then it
will attack Malevic from behind, uh with its jaws. Again, let's see
that. That is a crap. Oh shit, amazing ah for thirty six
piercing damage. I think once I see the shadow of this thing roll past,
I just kind of look at everyone and the like, oh fucking okay,
how much thirty six? Yeah, you are grabbed and then it will
use it can't Kate doesn't have any actions left. You are currently grabbed in
its jaws though, can your feet the kicking out of the mouth? Yep?
Uh okay, but yeah, thirty six pierce damage on that one.
Very nicey. You just started to see the strength to kind of leave me.
My group is loosened on the gray Sword. The other one that is
in front of our Cilia will try and strength ar Cilia. It is currently
frightened, sickened, and takes persistent damage. The persistent damage is on your
turn rash Shock. Is that correct? You're muted? Okay, let's see.
I think we are going to have our Celia. What does the creature
want to do. I think it's going to try and white ar Cilia.
I can't wait. It can't eat anything with the doblin pox. Is that
correct? You're muted as Shock lizard quickly, I cannot eat okay, I
cannot eat, but it will still try to bite or Cilia. It doesn't
know that it can't eat. Twenty three to hit there you are okay,
Uh dude, d d d okay, let's see twenty three to hit I
am believed. Don't don't you do it? No two to hit No twenty
two? Oh no, that is a regular hit. Okay. Uh.
It has grabbed or Celia and it will do how much sixteen piercing damage to
our Cilia and it will then use an action to swallow. Or Cilia would
be swallowed if not for the goblin pox. So it's gonna waste an action
trying to swallow Arcilia hole and then immediately pukes her up again because it doesn't
know. Uh, it just wretches. Or Cilia gets sent prone as it
is, as it will puke her up. Uh okay, and then uh,
it has one more action and it will just try to smack Arsilia with
its fist out of anger. Oh I'm sorry, that was the wrong one.
That should be a fourteen. That is a miss. Again, it
tries to hit Artelia. She just goes flat on the ground as this creature
tries to hit her and missus malvic, it's your turn. I'm dangling in
his mouth. I would look at everyone and entirely take the back of my
hand and put it in his jaw and shot a lift to loosen the grip.
Athletics check me five. Think that's enough. Let me check it's going
pretty good. That is enough. You Let you manage to shove the mouth
open enough to allow you to fall back down to the ground. As I
do that, I want to summon the hatchet out of the other one back
in my hand. I'll jump that as an action, I guess right again,
to return to my head. I don't know. I think it's a
free action. I think it's free, but I didn't want to cheat the
system. Returning roun flies back to your hand after the strike is complete.
So okay, we'll just say for flavor, it was stuck into it because
I was in the stomach. Let's say we're ripped through the thing, and
as I do that, I'll catch it and I'll try to take out his
hand as achilles tendon with a hatchet. Okay, which one the one that
bit me? I guess this? Yeah? Right? Second attack now?
Oh, okay, this minus five, so fourteen, yeah, that's the
miss. I'll just entirely go Okay, I gotta be it. Uh no,
that was two actions. You pushed his mouth open, you fell to
the ground. Ah okay, then I will try to bite it. Oh,
I got give as good as you get. No, No, I'm
like, ah, just get a mouthful of horrifically smelling for immediately take my
mouth of that. Why did I need intrusive thoughts? It's like smelling salt
to give me back on my feet, all right, as yes, oh
gods, as much as I'd like to do other things, I will not.
I am going to use both life boosts, which is a single action
each two on Arcilia and Malevic. That will be six points of healing around
for four rounds. But not yet, it happens immediately on their turn.
Yes, uh yeah, I mean four yes, first eight icon there and
then for my final action. Since I do have three guidance on Arcilia,
which is she can pick a plus one for her next role until the start
of my turn whatever or not next whateverever choice. So if it's a saved
just to make she can use the door any attacks. So that was all
three actions because he did two yes, all three. Alrighty uh ar Cilia
uh sort of like a bit haggard and bloody and uh Arcilia Malvic look pretty
similar right now, both sort of covered and uh like mucus and horrible shit.
Uh, our Celia will we could have talked, you know, and
she will try to swing the Morning Star like a golf swing and try and
hit it right in the nuts. God, I hope that hits quit.
Quit quit. It's not a male listen you you don't understand that stuff still
hurts, man, it still hurts. Bids sixteen unfortunately seventeen with a rash
talk's guidance. Still one hand crossbow. Kurran's like oiling it like in the
background like somehow looks like straight out of like unforgiven, you know, like
polishing its giving it a little kiss yep. Okay, misses with the first
strike. Then we'll try and like spin upwards and hit it like in the
ribs someplace for a second attack. Okay, that is also a miss.
That's damage. Yeah, that is a miss. Okay. Striking for a
second time or a third time with is that a third strike? Well,
that was a second second strike with the Morning Star. That is miss.
The creature just kind of bends bends backwards a little bit and tries to like
just neo out of the way of this strike. And then third attack from
Marsilia. It's a miss seven with the morning Star. The three three misses
with the morning Star. The creatures surprisingly nimble for their size. Yarrah,
it's your turn. Do not forget to add the health for Arsilia if you
have not six at the end of the time in the beginning beginning, all
right, So, seeing both of my allies very injured, I will cast
out both of my hands as I cast life link, and I can target
two targets with this, so my iracular curse, I will tap into that.
I'll begin to glow a bright golden hue as I cast for this healing
energy. That will be seven points of healing for both of them, and
I will take five points of damage on the first time that they take damage
in around for both Arsilia and Malevic. From there, I will go ahead
and I will move towards Malevik and Arsilia, and I will go ahead and
attempt to treat wounds using battle medicine on Malevik. Whilst I'm doing so,
I will be sure to say, Malevic, make sure you protect her glancing
between the two and that is twenty four points of healing for Manavik. Wow.
Oops, pretty nice. Some of the strength starts to come back,
but I still look like I'm getting my ass whooped a burden, chair Darling.
My curse will have those scars start reaching towards the inner part of my
face. And that is my turn. Paroun. You know what I'm gonna
do, baby taking the crossbow. This is Karn talking to Joy. I'm
just say out loud, do another good shot for me, baby mother,
and the lame the crossbow at the creature and the fire of the crossbow twenty
three is another hit. Yes, the curses lifted, Johanna's taste for blood
will not be seated. There's like a slight scratch just like it's you know,
there's like a little bit of permissing before her. Holy shit, that
is impressive. Keep that off, Karoon. You're doing quite darling. A
load the crossbow and that is my turn. Okay, all right, the
governor will take some persistent damage. How much is the persistent damage? Just
one right now, all right? And yes, the one that is in
front of Arcilia and Malavik will try and strike Arsilia again. I think it's
giving up on trying to attack with its jaws. Didn't work out so well
last time. Holy shit, another creed, this time with a fist.
I'm so sorry, Arcilia. This is gonna hurt twenty six damage as a
reaction. I'll look at Arcia and just then everyone else will probably see a
blow hit me on the side of the face it. I'll take half the
damage. They both seem to get struck by this by this large fist,
even though Malvic isn't near it. When it strikes. You both see them
react. Also, I were taking five of that damage before he even gets
hit as well. Okay, I'll also add another note for our Celia's mechanics.
She does have the reaction Amulet, which can be used once a turn
to reduce damage. Yep, I know, okay, all right, trying
to play the top of the balance. I'm trying to trying to see what
could happen, because you could use that, could use the other thing you
have to pick, So it's it's one of the other. That's fair.
Yeah, for both reactions. Okay, So the first attack is fifth next
attack, it will try and strike again. Fifteen is a miss, and
for its third action, I think it will try and intimidate. We're going
to have it now, try and frighten our Celia. That is a twenty
seven. I believe that is a success. Yep, our city is now
frightened one. Okay, it probably doesn't change it, but at twenty six
is the same correct, yes, okay, same deal. Okay, all
right, that is that one, and then the one that is on the
southeastern side currently fighting Malavic will continue to do so. It will definitely try
and strike you jaws again, Melvick. If it was another crit I was
kind of tasting twenty nine though. See yeah, it will grab you as
well in its jaws for thirteen pierced damage and then plus six all right,
and I take five for you since I took five for a Cilia. As
it heads up, okay, eat damage then and then uh, it will
use an action swallow hole crystal mighty mm hmm. I mean for asthma.
You see it like one hinge its jaw, and this one also swallows what
is it an instant swallow? I thought there was an athletics for the grapple
with the bite. No, the jaws get to If the jaw attack hits,
it's an auto grab and then it uses another action to swallow. Okay,
uh, it still has another action, So I think it's gonna just
move right over here with you know, some people right nearby are on current.
Do that, Alavic, you got some acid damage in coming? Yeah,
twelve acid damage? I rolled three ones there done? What do you
do? What's my turn? I will trying to repeatic insides again. Only
thing I can do. Twenty two. That is a hit, uh,
not a crit. It is easier to strike this thing when you're inside,
by the way, I would hope, so you are. You're definitely doing
some damage here, Malvic, it's moving around. It doesn't like it.
You're not split out. Yeah, we'll continuing to domit the inside. Nineteen.
Okay, that is also a hit, and you are sorry. I'm
checking one thing here. Oh oh, a few more bits here. You're
also slowed one. That's sorry too, ad. That's okay. Oh,
you take the take the listed amount of damage when first swallowed and at the
end of each of its turns when it's swallowed. Okay, uh, flat
footed, you're also flat footed? Yeah? Flat foot? Ah, Okay,
there's the bit that I needed. Okay, yes, you are still
not split out if I'm slow, that's all my actions. Yeah, sorry,
buddy, you also need to hold your breath. Okay, what do
I need to is that athletics again? Uh? A fortitude? It doesn't
say that there's a check, but I will make you do a check after
some time. M hm. Okay, rash talk. It's return. Yes,
well one has been very hurt. Is a little bit harder when Malvic
kind of gets taken out of the fight. A little bit final fantasy.
Yeah, weapon the darkest dungeon, but with the ven nurse right, I'm
going to prepare to reach and breathe out it. Yet yet again some poison
at the uh the top, the northmost one. Just okay, I have
fixed the spells. What is correctly showing damage? It needs to make a
four to new save of twenty one with its minus one due to sickend all
right, say thirty one. It's not a grid because of that, so
the minus one from sicken makes it make or break it over as a grid.
Yeah, damn, I forgot that that is so it does nothing.
Sorry, buddy, that's it. Okay, oh ar Celia. Uh oh
boy, um, Arcelia is just gonna keep attacking, I think with at
the morning Star. She's already she's already done the suppose vulnerability. I don't
know if that just transfers over to a different weapon if she were to switch
weapon. No, I don't think so. Jesse physically put on that weapon.
Yeah, okay, twenty three is a hit. Okay for some pretty
nice damage. Arcilia swings the morning Star and this time managed to you hear
like the squishy sound as something breaks like in this creature's leg. It makes
a horrible noise, yelling in pain. It's still up. It takes twelve
bludgeting damage from Arcilia's special bullshit, and well I think she will try to
strike again? Is a mess and will I think, just trying to strike
with the morning Star a last time, spinning wildly with the morning Star like
a legal Legends character missing with those last two strikes. Unfortunately, Uh yarra,
it's your turn, all right. Well, this thing is quite close
to me, and I don't quite think there's anything I could personally do to
save Malevik if I'm to be quite frank, So what I'm going to do
is. I'm going to turn my hand and I will be glowing a golden
golden yellow as I try to go ahead and accelerate the healing on some of
Arsilia's wounds, as I try to treat wounds at an expert level on Arsilia
for thirty that's thirty three, so that is a critical excellent. So I
have to roll two more two more D eight. Yes, yeah, so
that is so thirty points of healing. Okay, top an our Celia,
backup, Malvic. Also, don't forget you had life boost before. Okay,
wonderful, all right, and this thing is quite scary. I am
going to go ahead then and cast sanctuary upon myself. I will glow a
golden color yet again, my eyes would turn gold, and I will now
make it so they must go ahead and cast or they must reach a twenty
one DC on a will save each time they try to attack me. Okay,
that is my turn, Parun. I will absolutely be using the crossbow,
okay, and I am aiming directly into the creature, the same one
that Joanna has tasted blood? Is that this one? Yes, prepare your
beauty for her rest. Okay, uh so let me see here. It's
got a minus one from second, but the frightened is gone. It's just
unfortunately a miss here kurrent Oh no really, I'm so surprised that that was
so genuine. Johanna, you have failed me. Then I will take cover.
That is my turn. Okay, uh ship uh governor will continue its
attacks on Arsilia. Okay, ar Cilia is no longer on a one more
turn for frightened. Frightened should be off. It should be off. Okay,
yeah, okay, and now let's see number. We'll try and strength
with its fist. Natural one is a mess. It moves to bring like
a hammer blow down on Arsilia for a second attack that is also a miss.
Arsilia dodges out of the way, thanks for the heels, and she
will spin. As the creature tries to attack for a third time another natural
one, Arcilia dodges out of the way as you see her wounds like closing
up from the heels of a rash talk and yarra okay, and we're gonna
lose a life boost. She's at full hp automatically. That would be on
Hicks right on her turn. Oh on her turn. Yeah, that's right.
I'm sorry, I got computed because I tried to make her do cool
things. It'll be the same anyway eventually, okay uh. And it will
take persistent poison damage. It's one poison, the one with malvic in its
tom Tum will rush towards Yara, not knowing that sanctuary has been cast upon
yarra uh, and this preacher will have to make it will save the target
uses a hostile action to spell ends, but otherwise so it will say each
time it tries to target you, okay. So if the fritz the success,
sanctuary ends it. Okay, got it all right, And this is
a will save. It's not too great at these, especially when I roll
another natural one. Oh my god, since it crit fails, its like
the action an undercurrent of rage there from Frank by the way it wastes the
action and can't attempt to attack me for the rest of the duration that I
am holding sanctuary. Oh yeah, it looks so strange, like it can't
understand what is actually happening here. Uh and looks to the next nearest target,
which is either a rash talk or karoon run. You are taking cover,
but you are not hiding. It will and thus I am not convenient
neither is a rash talk. When do I take acid damage? Uh,
you take a start of your turn? Actually, I'm sorry, hold on,
let me double check. That's a good question. She told me twice.
So I just want to keep hope you keep yeah. Yeah, Oh
my god, I think you said at the end of his tour and at
the beginning of mine. It's like a wall of tech biak mg tran oh
God for consistency. We did do it at the beginning of Malvi turn last
time. I don't even know where the hell I read it. The first
time. I got two documents open because this is like a weird special thing.
Uh, the first swallowed and at the end of each of its turns,
not your turn, so it should be the end of its turns.
So we're not there yet, so I goofed earlier. Sorry, okay,
So yeah, it's gonna take aim at you, Karun. Now you have
limited cover here. This isn't the best. You're just kind of around the
corner. Let me see what that's gonna give you. I think it's a
little bit of a boot. It's two lesser cover, so this will be
plus one tier ac h okay, because it's still like within melee range.
It's just kind of around the corner a little bit, so I don't think
it's so much. If you were like down in the other room, you'd
have greater cover. It will try and strike you with its fists. That's
a thirty. Yeah, it definitely hits crito. It does not crit no,
but it does hit. Okay, so you have you have twenty ac
I have twenty one, I see, but twenty two with cover. Very
nice, very very nice, Okay, very good. Finally for fourteen bludgeoning
damage, it probably like actually hits some of the some of the wood of
the wall as it strikes you as well. Like it it just does like
a backhanded kind of a attack and just kind of like crushes some of the
woods as it hits you and smacks you into the wall. Ah that's uh
so, so this was actually a twenty five. I'm sorry because that was
its second attack, right, It tried to attack yar first, and yes,
yes it wasted. That would have been a twenty five. And then
this is a third strike verse seventeen, which is a miss. Uh.
This one it tries to probably just I think probably tries to like kick since
its other arm is too far to probably hit you on that side, and
it probably just tries to like kick you and misses. Okay, end of
this turn, Malevic, you're gonna nineteen acid damage the sun. No,
okay, all the strength is leaving and now it's just panic mode. So
I am life boost all right you Okay, I will use the hatchet and
finally use guidance on this attack. That's seventeen so it was a miss.
Guidance is only for the gun, yes, yeah, it's only for the
turn until that person's next turn, so vas yes, yes, still it
would be sixteen. No, you're all right, that is a miss.
Okay, we're gonna keep swinging fourteen and oh actually hold on, I'm sorry.
Sorry, I think the first one was actually hit. Ohuse inside,
it's hard to dodge and when knits. Yeah, m where did I see
the freaking ac for this? Ah? There it is okay, Sorry,
three different documents to try and find that out. Okay, that is the
first one was a hit for nine slashing damage. Weren't able to get your
full weight behind it, malab it, but you did manage to make some
a rent in its stomach. I didn't attack twice. Sorry, my second
attack was a fourteen. Okay, still there, get two actions. Okay,
rashtock, it's your turn. Seeing this creature continue to eat and Malvic
not get out as quickly as last time, I am changing my efforts and
turning, using my reach spell and having bugs begin to crawl and bite me.
To transfer the final goblin pox onto the second of these weird yetty things,
it must make a fortitude save of twenty one. Please actually, goddamn
it, and that's my turn. Thirty four. Yep, the effort that
counts. I appreciate. Okay. Unfortunately, as you're the mosquitoes begin to
swirl around. You can see they just can't seem to find a place to
bite this creature. Through all that thick fur, it sort of manages to
cover up any exposed bits of flesh and manage to keep them away. Our
Celia, she'll say, Malevic is getting very badly hurt. I can feel
it, and she will she will, she will strike with her morning Star
towards this one with all her might. It's not good enough with a fourteen.
That is a mess. We'll spin and try for a second attack.
Fifteen's no good either. Please somebody help him and she will do she will
use some special bullshit. Oh, this is a reaction. Okay, never
mind, I can't do that. What is the trick? Ah? Okay,
got it. Or Celia has some special bullshit. I will wait to
reveal that. Okay, and let's see. I guess this is just gonna
be a third Morning Star attack. Then doesn't have much she can do here.
I can't do that, can't do that. Yeah, all right,
this is going to just be a third morning Stary attank. And I don't
think this is possible that you can hit that unless she gets a Grid eleven.
That's a miss and or Celia sort of is a bit frantic right now.
She's trying to swing with the Morning Star and missus all three times.
Yara. Okay, I have a very strange question for you. Okay,
well, hopefully have a very strange answer for you. So I have sanctuary
on me, so I must be aware of hostile actions. If I were
to try and open the mouth of this creature which cannot attack me so technically
would not be able to bite me. Definitely, yes, a hostile action
to try and save Melvic. Okay, hmm. As much as I want
to see Yara, leap onto this creature and try and force its shots open
and spit, spit out, just sell it out, through it out,
darling, m all right, it was worth shot, all right? Well
that changes things. Let's see here. Ah, I feel like we really
need damage right now, but I feel like I'm going to regret it if
I get rid of sanctuary. All right, I will. I'm gonna have
to do it then, So I will go ahead and I will use a
turn to carefully step back away from the creature using the not stride. What
is it a careful step or something? Yes? All right, And from
there, I will go ahead and I will summon up the needles yet again,
and I will cast them towards one of them looks severely injured. Yes,
oh yeah, the one that Celius fighting. That's gonna be the best
bet if we get rid of one. I think I'm going to go ahead
then and cast needle darts towards the creature that is closest to our senia.
Okay, I will reroll thatlling fifteen for twenty five. How do you kill
it? And that's cold iron. I am frantic. I let go of
my sanctuary now that I have stepped back. There is nothing I can do.
You would see it dissipates from around me the shield that has kind of
operated around me, and I cast forth the needles that come from a dronesis
lit rapier, and I thrust them directly towards the middle of its head,
towards its eyes, and the final one to its throat. Darling, we
need to get male offical. Now I've my turn, I run, it's
your turn. Is it actually dead? Is the thing dying? Is it
already dead? Because yeah, it's it's You can see its faces like ruined.
There's all like blood flowing out of its throat and falls to the ground.
All right, well, I still have one more shot. I will
launch a crossbow vault at the creature who is nearest to me? Is this
within melee? Do I take a melee? Yeah? All right? Then
I will back up a couple of steps. Who here, okay, and
this is no longer within melee? Very well? Now it will fire the
crossbow? Sure? Yeah, sixteen. Um, Look, there's no reason
we can't all be friends. We won't call it a miss. We call
it already. You've already eaten. You don't need any more food, right,
that is a miss unfortunately. Sixteen mm. I will take cover behind
the lizard and that is my turn. Okay, do you have boys seeing
me? Governor? Uh, we'll move forward. Oh fuck, and Russia
towards a rush Talk. It's coming your rustock. I know it's gonna be
bad. It wasn't a grit sahow, it's a rash Talk's battle cries,
that's the battle. Oh shit, I'm so sorry. It doesn't have to
move. It can be right there. It's got a ten foot reach.
I'm so sorry I hit that. Can it still move closer? What?
I hate that? Can it move closer? It doesn't need to. Twenty
six eight hit is a regular hit and this will be for fifteen budgeting damage.
You can see just like decks of rash Talk right in the face with
a big hand, just smashes them right in the face and then brings its
hand up and tries to smack him down into the ground like whack them all.
Twenty five to hit for twelve more bludgeoning damage, and then a third
hit. It will try to kick you while you're down fourteen rush stuck like
this, gently limps out of the way, okay, and then at the
end of its turn. Oh boy, seventeen A more acid damage heads your
way, Malvick, it is your turn. Another life boosts twelve plus six.
All right, ain't I didn't go through and I take five damage for
you plus six. Here we go. Yes, I calculated that one and
thank you. Like with the best of last strength. I'm going to try
to grab on some organs here at this point, wherever the hell I am
stomach lining something, I'm going to cut at it. I don't think I
can grapple it from the inside again. I no, oh, grapple its
insides? Yeah, all right, there you go twenty one A negative damage
twenty one. Yes, that is a hit again. You slice at it
with the hatchet. I was losing my strength. I'm constantly trying to break
out again. The twenty four twenty four wow on a second attack. Holy
shit, right, my head is very high and very low. Oh wow,
okay, let me just double check that is not a crit barely.
Uh okay, yep. Another rent in its stomach. It's definitely gurgling.
Sounds painful for a third story. Can't Oh, you're right, you're right,
sorry, all right. I used to be in slode. I have
a question. I know what you're about to do. Yeah, I think
I do. I hope. So when a target is a willing creature,
do I have to see it if it's in range? It depends on the
spell. The spells are different, Uh, casting requirements. Uh, this
one is somatic and verbio. That's the cast for me. I need to
see them. Then I'd like to enlarge Malevic. Yes, absolutely, he
becomes large size inside this thing man versus Stanos. You see me like kind
of doing like these stretching motions as part of my spellcasting and doing something that
I've not done before. What are you doing? I'm making him bigger?
What bursting forth is megavich? I attack? You are clumsy? And the
way the creature falls to the ground, because that is surely enough damage to
kill it? Well done? It falls to the ground and a horrible mess.
Malvic is covered in visa. Oh will to fall to the ground?
Yeah? Can we not fight those again? How many times? And then
I will fall somelp. He likes ointment. I fall unconscious? Yeah,
I think he needs the ointment. That's for five minutes. Would it be
easier or harder to treat him when he's at size. I don't think it
matters. Clia like run him over towards uh Malvic and starts checking on him
alive. I think his last little wounds would close from a life boost.
Now he took a lot of damage. Yes, all right, anybody who
needs healing, Perhaps we move back a little bit. Bad scratch on the
side of my head and it's just killing me. I think my spine compressed.
