done. I didn't think those little things could do something like that. Nature
has a way of surprising us, does it not? Mm hm? And
how does that feel? Yeah? She was like, you've done nothing,
orphans. He does still have an entire hole for his shoulder. Good eye.
I actually did not. I did not see that one, so thank
you. M h bit of a breathe, right, let's get that one
then. Yeah, I'll moved my arm and see where the boss I guess
has ripped the cross. So I just I think under here looks pretty bad
as well, right, have you right? Strains? Soon enough? Oh,
by the way, how long this is drained? Last? She wounds?
Take it away? Uh, rest trained is the fullest. Oh,
oh that sucks m h. And I will be spending whatever other time required
in order to go ahead and que Malvic in the back of the cart.
Yaa if you have some time as well? I I did. Oh,
yes, of course. It's a little hurt myself. You can see our
celia sort of shows you, like, uh, several horrible mosquito bites,
just like a series of bites and like swelling and looks painful, right,
And as such, I will bounce between the two doing what I can,
which is not much For the moment. I think my attentions are very split.
Was that twenty nine healing or did you miss your your target? I
missed the mark. Yes, okay, yes, it's got to be twenty
or above for expert. I have a plus fifty. Yeah, oh maybe
I can just we all be fine. And oh I don't think that cream
is good. It's burning a bit. Oh yes, yes it does look
old. Hold on, let me go through things. Oh you still have
used the poltice I gave you. Yes, yes, I mean it else
like, but it isn't. Oh are you sure? M h. It's
the corpse flower petals work very well. With coagulation corpse flowers right. M.
See hah, you are correct. I think they hit the mark very
good. M. I'm not feeling well, you're more pale. I'm feeling
weaker as well. H A rest would be good for you If I rest.
We don't have no one to protect this M and I we have no
one to protect us. Mm hmm. I would take the back of the
care of that if possible. Hmm. If not, I can keep walking
help people like all that thing across. Never mind you sit, I will
walk. You have to get the carriage across as area aout triggering any more
events. I will be that as much as I can. No more water
that is stagnant at the moment, mm hm hmm. Mosquito which is still
displeased, but is there at least quelled for the moment. Mm hm.
When you are better, malevic, I have a m favor to ask of
you us now mm hmmm. The way I can actually pay attention in here
it without distractions mmh be syllable, but not for yet. When you are
arrested only I will need as many large game as you cannot. Hungry a
no no sacrifice, capturing them alive would be ideal. Oh yes, what
for hm hm to help prevent what happened moments ago? That was your doing.
No, no, it was not my doing. Mosquito witch is still
angry, though my sense glancing over at Karn burning there her children alive,
unprovoked was unwise. I've always found that burning things doesn't make anyone angry.
Ever, I think you have run into people that wish different things. This
queen of yours, if her children, whatever those were, attack us,
if she did not expect us to fight back, she was not displeased that
we defended ourselves. The anger was from before, when momb that was thrown
agitated. As I mentioned before, we the words yes, ah yeah,
that was not smart. They would be annoyed before, but that was the
tipping point. I think, Ah understandable. Mm hmm. Let's just carry
on. Get out of this, Sam, don't don't anger your queen.
You want to more mhm. It does not appear that the swamp it was
very large. We are past it now. You can hear Enuma speak up
from the driver's seat. Thank goodness, I wiped streats from my brow.
You know that sort of humidity is not within my happy spectrum m let you
look so cold. At the time, I would have thought it'd be good
for your skin. I know, unbelievable, but no, it gets my
hair all frizzy. I feel miserable. You have to walk in that swamp
water? Well, you know some do. Is there no blood inside you?
Or I know there is? Then why are you called? Well,
it's I'm not actually cold. It's just that the whole reverse cycle, the
way that we were crafted in Forasthma's image as dusk walkers, we are very
pallid nutrition. Did you worship or whatever you do with that God before your
change? You know anything of yourself before that change? You know you looked,
yes, you remember, yes, possessed a mirror. It's why my
situation it is peculiar. See, normally, when dust walkers are born,
it is a cycle of death and re birth. It is one dusk walker
dies and another soul that has been waiting its turn in the boneyard and habits
the body of a newborn babe. They are born into the world. You're
born as a baby looking like that. No, that's why it's weird.
I went through the gates, okay, Well, I mean I'm trying to
finances, Am I not? Yes, I don't mean to be rude.
Sorry, that's all right. I just think it's strange that your memories have
been altered barely. I do not know. I remember much of serving the
gravelands. I remember treating me injured. I remember my sister. I remember
I had brown hair and green eyes, and I smelled of wildflowers. Yes,
I remember walking to the gate to the Iron Dora. I remember seeing
her, my sister, and then I woke up this way. So I
don't think another you know, thirty odd years or something like that passed for
me to become a dusk Walker baby and grew up in a dusk Walker community.
I would remember all of that. We were raised in a very particular
way. We never really talked about what you've seen in the game, well
for either any of you have we I did? I know I did with
Doctor rittleson you and I spoke of it briefly. Remind me, if you
don't mind knowledge, how does one see knowledge? Everyone sees it differently.
I saw the ability to learn more than I ever could m not being held
back by my heritage. Not many libraries have a tendency to just let e.
Listiberson walk in that I know how to feel to not be included,
as one should say. What do you seek now? The same thing,
knowledge of yourself and knowledge of the world everything. What would you do with
this world that you know is no longer to exist and a new one is
built from the ground the ashes? Yeah, I am unsure. Perhaps an
attempt to learn about that world. Wouldn't it be better to start afresh and
new where you could be accepted everywhere you walk and go. Knowledge can be
at your fingertips, no one to block your That is not how it works.
Manvic who says the world the world the resets, people will do the
same. Yes, it depends on who rules of that world. The world
goes through constant resets here, Rosta, you don't know, I have an
idea, an inkling. Yes, people used to rule the land here.
Yes, the exactly your people, as in what the lizard folk mm and
what came before them likely the dragon saw. Yes, Yes, that's what
I mean. Things change constantly, but the thing that does not is people.
Yes, people the problem M Well what did you see? H h.
It seems like all of you have seen things that you want. I'm
guessing knowledge, your sister. Yeah, others mentioned things that of wanting need.
What I saw was everything, but that nature takes its courts, start
over from the beginning, Allow things to go as they should have been.
Do not let things boil over, create opportunities for discourse. They were wrong,
you know, to let man have its courts only rots and death awake
as they don't know how to rule. They let the gods play the puppet
masters. Our fathers were wrong, burning it all to start anew. Let
nature take its course, Let the ashes build upon the dead, wipe away
all those tears, flesh rot, make them miss what they had. That's
what I saw. Take back what we have been old from the beginning.
Man has run his course. Only those were power. We have to write
these lambs start over. That's what I saw, a land filled with fire.
Once the fires blow away, there was lush, green, prosperity,
freedom. That's what the gate promised me. But who goes to say visions
of visions? Am I right? M? I think that's a very bleak.
We'll look Malley and negates, all the destruction and time it takes for
that ash and soil to turn act of what it was. No, I
believe that's our problem. They always look for things to go back the way
it was. No. No, with the right rules in place, the
right actions to be taken. But who sets those rules? We're all trying
to ah, the powerful do have a way of making things turn. Who's
to say we have to get there first? Yes, I just know that
what we see now it's not working. The gods themselves need us as pawns.
They were playing right in their hands. Not who goes to say promises
are always tempting. So I ask you all, would you walk through the
gate again if opportunity is presented. Hm. I'm unsure. Yes, but
not for the reason you think. I do not think the us talk on
that. I do believe if the gate was open in front of us,
with all this pain it's happening in this world, whatever fruits and labor that's
in front of us, we would walk right through again, knowing that there's
a missing moment of what we have done, what we may have done.
That I am sure. I am still not. I am unsure if what
I so was but a fabrication. Mmm. I have become more and more
sure that it I think was so that we may be these sponts you spoke
of. Mm hm. Who's to say it's the gods that place them there?
M I think it is the whil ah Old, your God's close Old,
your queen hohodoever that you go to at night, very close, or
you may be turning to them a lot sooner than you feel it was,
but maybe a half hour for me recently. Yes, yes, oh is
it logical? It's your correct or. I suck, but I'll have to
say to you, my scaly friend did not forget where you came from.
An instinct does take over? Let it take over? Hmm. I feel
that's when we were hit opiarists. M hm oh hmm. I wonder what
disease may have been given to you by that mosquito. I think there are
some that can affect the brain. Is that an insult? No, you
are quite as mystic and dark at the moment, Malavik. No anything of
destruction of humans and of the world, and you sound like a dragon I
those things. M. Well, you were speaking as though my ancestors did
mm hmm burn everything so that your new home may exist? Does that make
any sense? That's what you said? I mean? Yeah, how long
do we go how long are we till the destination? We are still days
out. A shall get fresh air. I don't get out of this caravan.
No, you rest. You are still wounded, sat. I will
make space for you throughout this conversation. Watching Malevik that shift that was very
peculiar. Is there anything like does it seem as if he was not himself
prior to that moment, like someone else within him was talking? Um,
make a perception check. That's a fatty Malvic. This is up to you.
What does that check against my DC? This is about you. I
don't want to judge how much information you want to give up based on this
number. I'll let you do it. There may be some kind of internal
conflict of thoughts, but I think with a perception that was quite noticeable.
But I'm not saying what you said is true or false. I'm just saying
that there was some internal conflict. Yes, get some rest. We'll handle
the lookouts and every single night, I believe and a bit tired. See
what didn't lose some blood due to the sucking. Yeah, I don't understand
why you feel so fascinated by it. It was it did suck. Did
more than that. I was a very rude entry exit m m. It
didn't seem like it was doing it for need of survival. It seemed like
it was gorging itself out of anger and patience, and it wanted to kill
me. That's what I feel, So forgive me. If I don't like
your queen's children as much, not many do. I would be shocked if
most saw them as something good. Mm hmm, all right, I will
rest wake me if you need anything. H m hmm. I think I
will keep reading. This scroll is rather interesting. Ah? Is that the
one of the ones we picture up in the first world? Or yes?
Yes, this is the one on choking death death. Yes, the plague
from a few hundred years ago. Oh. Does it mention any cures or
ways to help against it? I could probably figure out a cure, I
suppose by reverse engineering it. This is on how to make it? Oh
mm hmm. It would decimate our population? Is silly? Yes it would.
Yes, tell me when you get to the part about reversing it and
let me know in detail. I would. Yes, I don't. I
don't think. I don't trust myself when I get angry. I don't trust
myself with something of that nature. But I do trust myself with a cure.
Why would you be angry? I don't know. Maybe somebody really pisses
me off, and then I decide I want to give them choking death,
and then accidentally a whole nation goes bad. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
I would never I see, it would take a bit more to do,
and it's usually it looks like a few day process of taking certain bacterias from
It's still a bit out of my I need a couple of days of reading,
all right, hmmm, very dark? Yes, yes, yes,
but I would please my queen? What hmmm? It would be what Maravic
said, in an extent cycle of nature? But is it really nature?
If you're engineering a plague to it still exists, it is just rare,
right, But you would be forcing it upon a nation essentially. Yes,
I did not say I would use it in that capacity. I'm just noting
what it would do. So how would that make you, queen happy?
Balance? There is an imbalance, as you have seen every city. We
have gone many many many injustices. But a disease cares not your stature,
station, race, species. It is the purest form of nature. I
see, I am not wishing to commit a genocide. If that is your
fear, well I trust you. I just don't trust When that sort of
knowledge gets into one person's hands, it typically ends up somehow getting plucked from
them, and then another person learns it, and then from there on it
becomes a horrible, painful world. Will everyone dies? I was considering burning
the skull after finishing its stuny. Yes, indeed, I think that is
a wonderful idea. It is very dangerous knowledge, but that can be said
of most indeed, is that I suppose knowledge is only dangerous if it's in
the hands of someone who is dangerous, or has dangerous intent towards others,
or is signorant. It's fair. You could easily be something where if we
were say, chased by uh maybe a band of murderous subgoblin mercenaries who say,
drop a vial behind me as I run. Do you think they'd be
stupid enough to drink it? No? It would rissole I. Oh,
oh you're oh it's they Oh it turns into a vapor. Oh that's horrific.
If I maybe made it that way, yes, ah, very good.
If you're a terrible person, you would probably sell the cure, make
lots of money. You know what, Pretend I didn't say that idea that's
particularly evil, that would be I am not evil, nor am I wonderful.
I'm glad we've established that. I thought I had established it before.
I thought I did too. But apparently my mouth likes to run. Ah.
That is not one of the symptoms. Thank god. Running of the
anus is one of them. Oh, my anus is not running at the
moment. I have not made the disease. I would hope not. It's
yours. No, no, it's us awake awaka. Oh, I was
like a two and one. Yea, that is what that is? Yes,
Ah, interesting, I don't know. Lizard and anatomy, you know,
hm, it is similar to bird, as birds evolve from reptilians.
Ah, very interesting. M h. I'll lean in a little closer to
a rush top. Did you notice that a bit malevik ah, you are
speaking as a dragon. Yes. There is indeed a war going on inside
him. Hmm. He projects very much. I do not know how to
help him. Hm. Hm. I am unsure either. He consistently seems
to want to be disappointed in me and my voices. This is not similar
to my new thoughts before. It is an observation blasphemed my queen. During
the fight the Mosquito witch, there was zanger and hate. He hates my
heritage. Did you know that some lizard folks three men goal is to become
a dragon. There is knowledge of this, and it is knowledge I seek,
though I do not know if I will pursue its execution. Is it
something you think you want? I have, mansieur. More life means more
knowledge. It is a horde of sorts. But I feel if I spoke
of this desire truly, he might kill me. Wellah, All dragons known
to do terrible things. No, it is a prejudice of him. Many
seek to be private and alone. Some burn and rules. The red of
his heritage is one, but many are benevolent or wish to just be left
alone. The dragon that the lay line, we could have left it be.
It did not attack us. It just to it. It did not
seem to wish to fight. It was in its cave, It was at
home. Malevict charged it and attacked it and swimed and yeld when it seemed
just wanted to exist. Yes, that may be a time where that is
me yah Rah and I think at any rate it is a problem to charge
so willingly thoughts someone something so dangerous they hold hundreds of years of hour and
intellect precisely, many will speak. Many wish too, must be left alone.
Perhaps it is similar to that of our situation back in Negator. He
has had something horrible happen to him, and thus he lashes out at the
very root of it. Perhaps, but hmm, he was not justified exactly
that m I still trust him. But I would be lying if I said
I did not have fiars occasionally that I would not wake if he mistook me
for something dragonic ras stocked darling. I'll never let that happen. Hmm.
I mean this in kindness the hor but I do not think either one of
us could overpower him. I hope that that is not a necessity anytime soon.
No, hard, listen, No, I'll place a hand on your
hand at any rate, liicit man or dragon. You're a friend to me.
I will make sure if for some reason this choking death gets released on
accident, you will be the first with an antidote. Excellent. I love
that. I acknowledge too, Hm. Would be terrible to go that way,
Yeah, would be m you. I'm feeling ready for these next steps.
I am not I advised against this errand this will not go well?
Y are? I think the divine is not usually such they are but a
being that is powerful and placed above it hands to them mm and with a
piece of glass over it. Yes, it is quite concerning. I worry
about those merchants as well. M. Well, they are knowledgeable of the
area, and they were warned with what it could be if they have died.
It is a choice they have made to continue forward. Perhaps cities are
God's will hm hm Alan, I'm sorry, that's a terrible joke when it
comes to people's lives. Oh, because there's all this talk about our carts
and but yes, if they were fed upon by a predator, they would
be continuing a cycle. Do you think you would have been for Asthma or
the mosquito witch is a mosquito queen or witch? She is queen to me,
But she is a mosquito, which which one do you think would have
picked that fate? See for Asthma, I believe she leans a little bit
less on the you know, the murdery side. But mosquito, which is
not a murderer excelences, but in thou to the natural order. But there
is life as well. The mosquitoes you see feed many creatures, that's birds,
other insects, spiders. Without these insects, others would starve. It
is cyclical. Interesting. She is of rebirth and death as well as parasthma
is, but of a more natural side. Yes, foras is more of
a greater good type of Ye. Do you koind as well? She memory
made your memories different? Oh? That is an uncomfortable question, Yes,
very well, could be why. I might mean no sacrilege or blasphemous thoughts,
but it is something to consider. Those that say they are good or
evil usually mhm ah ah saying it to us or others and themselves. Yes,
I do wonder maybe we'll get answers one day. M Perhaps there has
to be a reason that I've been made into this, the creature that's very
different from my original self, but very alike. Why normal? But also
I have a curse that anytime I tap into it, it SAPs life from
me and causes a measurable pain, which I've gotten used to rather quickly,
a lot more quickly than I would have liked to. Do. But does
that reduce your life span? Do you have a life span? You know,
I don't know all that much about my life span or anything, to
be honest with you, I wasn't raised within a village of dusk walkers as
normally they are. M I suppose if they start as a baby and you
may get to an adulthood, that would imply sort But that does happen with
els as well. Yes, I do not know. Maybe for us,
we'll give me that answer to or I could find out from some dusk walkers,
which are very rare. So did I what? Oh? Did you
just take one of the books from the House of Learning? Perhaps? Ah?
What did that say? It's just a story? Oh? Yes,
the surphene one I was reading. H didn't give me too many answers,
unfortunately. Well, if this being we are going to is truly divine and
benevolent, maybe they will have an answer for you that or they will attempt
to kill us at first sight and we will have to defend ourselves against a
celestial other wordly being. Yes, I you know, I'm typically prepared to
fight it, you know, the undead, the unscrupulous, You at all
prepared to fight a celestial fucking being if we have to, because I really
hope you are. Um, yes, yes, I learn more about you
every day. I may have made sure that with my most recent teachings from
the Merthsquito, which I would be able to handle. Ah, the other
side of that coin, Oh so Mosquito, which taught you how to how
to fucking kill celestials. That's insane? Mm hmm, yes, not the
insanity, but yes, well, I mean that in a complimentary way,
like, wow, that's incredible. I mean, I don't foresee myself having
to kill a celestial but all good things can also be capable of great evil,
so that is what I mean. I do not know if I believe
there is one or the other, not truly, but nonetheless, celestial beings
are not necessarily good, so being able to handle one seemed twise when I
was being learned. What do you think is more scary fighting a demon or
a celestial celestial? I agree, I absolutely concur I mean, first of
all, you have to consider what would ever put me in the position that
I would fight a celestial number one? Right? Demons? Of course,
you know a demon pops up your roller, going to want to kill it?
It's evil. Then two, how the hell are you going to kill
something that's, you know, blessed by the gods from the realm of the
gold odd? Yes, horrifying darkness. Perhaps that's more scary to me because
I don't really have any the abilities to particularly I argue something. Why I
said, I was prepared right Anyway, this conversation has been very random,
and I appreciate you for it. A thank you. I thought it was
calculated. Oh was it? I thought? Maybe? Not? Oh?
Well, I mean it was balanced, Yes, about balance, Yes,
I see, I will the balance of Yes, that and me working to
kill a celestial Yes. Aha, that was a horrible joke. I'm so
sorry. I'll work on them. I it will be I do not know
what makes uh joke good. Well, typically one that you don't have to
explain. Oh I thought that was what you did. Adorn has explained many
jokes to me. Yes, he was particularly funny whilst also being particularly unfunny.
Is the contradiction. Yes, absolutely he was walking contradicting. He was
very funny, but he was also just very not funny, just very awkward.
But I'm also very awkward. But he portrayed a lot more confidence.
So I don't know who was worse. It's probably more soft than I am.
I'm probably worse. I'm definitely worse. I'll give him that. I
mean, he's no longer on this plane of existence at the moment, so
he can win that one. I think that would be fair. I have
lost the understanding of this conversation and peace. Yah, I apologize I have
as well, and I'm going to wipe my skirts off and I'll walk alongside
the cart for a bit term and I continue to read on choking death.
All righty, very well. You continue your journey as you leave the Astrovian
forest. You continue traveling for the rest of the day. As the group
readies to stop for the day, make camp as night approaches, dusk is
taking over the day. Who would like to make a survival role for me
for the campsite? I can do so, okay, and hopefully it is
not as bad as last time. It was not. It is a twenty
five okay, alrighty, very well. You feel the cart come to a
stop as a rash talk kind of looks around, finds the best spot to
camp, and guides the wagon over. If you set up camp, tends
to get laid out, began to prepare yourselves for the night. Who is
taking watch? About how many hours has Malevic had at the moment? Oh,
this has been a while. I mean it was kind of like I
think midday when you guys are trying to cross that pond. So it's probably
about six seven hours, so he needs about an hour or two more,
Right, I could stay up that long. Take what stayed up all last
night? I will likely need to sleep the whole time in uninterrupted. That
is fine. I'll wake up Malevick and we'll swap m I would have been
working on Narsilia's tattoo another evening until sleep. Okay, very well, So
you are a you're gonna take first watch? Indeed, very well? Go
ahead and make a perception check for me sixteen okay, and roll me a
D twenty eleven. What are these sleeping arrangements like? Or is everybody sleeping?
You think? Wow? I am likely in the pup tent, which
I guess what I'm wondering is like, did everybody get a tent? Did
everybody buy a tent? Or I have two? I have a four person
and a pup tent for two, so six people total? Can fit in
the tents. Okay, Karen is definitely sleeping with a rash talk. Deniy
and Saquachi are staying together. Uh Numa and uh Lukuk are sharing a tent
and uh okay, so a rash talk kroon in a tent, Yara,
did you say you had a tent or not? No? So we have
the two tents, so i'd probably be with Malevik and Ossiria. Okay,
Well, you definitely can't fit three people in one tent full two tents.
Yes, I have a four person and a pop tent. Okay, all
right, I am prepared, okay, uh Yara. On your watch,
you are probably just listening to the sounds in the forest and whatnot, and
there's this you're you're you're basically like out of the Austrovian forest. Now there's
a few trees here and there, but the sounds of crickets and things and
maybe a few tree frogs in the distance. You can still hear you make
your rounds how you like. I don't know how you see yourself doing that.
Are you sort of walking or you're taking like a patrol or are you
staying by the fire. Just get me an eye out what are you doing?
I think a little bit of a mixture. I would probably, at
first, since everyone would be falling asleep, be at the fire, wait
for them to fall asleep, and then I'd start making patrols around and once
my feet get tired, maybe I'll sit by the fire again and continue doing
that throughout my watch. Okay, do me a favor and make a fortitude
save for me. Is this a spell effect? Nope, all right,
I will re roll that costing a hairw point that was a thirteen always happens
into a fourteen. Okay, some point you nod off during your watch,
make a perception check for me. Twenty three. Okay, you think you
are having some kind of dream. There is a there's this muffled sound,
there's a sounds of some flapping cloth something like that. It's a strange haze
that you're in. And then you realize for a second that you hear somebody's
voice. This voice is familiar to you. It takes you a second to
realize what's happening. Wake up, wake up. As you hear this voice,
you start to come too, but unfortunately it's a little too late.
I need you all to select your tokens please and roll initiative. As you
slowly get to consciousness, Yara, you look around and you see Numa waving
a torch at some kind of purple creature with horrific wings, and he's trying
to fend it off. Please again, select your tokens and let's get some
initiative. Ever barter question, did an hour pass between that time? They
are not at all? I mean nope, that really sucks. Uh huh,
yes it does. Uh, Yara, you see Numa waving this torch
around as frankly not so fun things joining this camp site, right, that's
all right. Yeah, it's purple. It has sort of a almost bat
like face, black horns from its head, large ears, it's sort of
hunched over, but it's still quite tall. Uh, it's still medium sized,
but it's it's really freaking creepy looking. It looks like this for you
in the discord there as you hear a Numa yelling, wake up, wake
up, we are under an attack. Unfortunately, this creature that's around You
need a get two more coffee area, deed, we're drinking so much tea.
I love it, but to prefer Okay, we got a roll who's
that young lady in front of Oh I thought was is the man? It's
just a man that's not to say. Hold on, hey girl, I
know we about to die in all, but make it quick kidding. Uh
let's see here, we need rolls for our Celia and Karun as well.
Please also take into account whether or not you are wearing armor. Be honest
here, I would be just because I'm fellos sleep in a carriage on the
way. Then I told them to waken up if something happened, so even
bad ty robe. Yeah, I think we all know our Celia is not
wearing armor. Nope, no chance of that ship. Uh okay, we
need a perception initi there we go. Sorry, I've got a lot of
windows open right now. Uh we need Karun. Okay, hooky doke,
let's bring you over here. Chat this creature that is sort of flying like
it's flapping its wings a little bit like it's just a tiny bit off the
ground every now and again as the Numa waves the torch, and I need
to make a roll for a Numa. Okay, all right, this creature
will get the first turn here. Oh boy, we barely knew you.
Uh okay, Oh man, Uh, it starts, Yara. You can
hear it speaking in your head. What languages do you speak? I speak
Varissian, any of that For a fact, I also speak Common and it's
none of those. It's very work but dark. It has this sort of
guttural, really dark sound to it. You don't recognize it. This thing
definitely does not look friendly. It moves here and you can see it sort
of like looking around. It's like eyeing the camp. It doesn't even really
seem to care much about Numa. It's checking out what's here. It's looking
around this camp and it starts to see you, and it's horrific, large
toothed smile that spreads across its face and I need Oh my god, this
is fucking crazy. Okay. I think what it's gonna do here is uh,
it's gonna look at you, Yara. And it has a special ability
that's not so great. Uh, you are en ranged. There uses his
first turn to move around in Numa, and then it will use consumed death.
I need a fortitude safe, can you please, yare? Is this
a spell? Oh? Uh, nope, no it is not. All
right, divine necromancy and visual all right, And you said a fortitude,
saying yes twenty eight. Uh sorry, I'm trying to find the DC here.
Uh. Yeah, that's a success. That's good. That's good.
That's very good. Yarra. As you look at this thing in its eyes,
I mean you see another realm, this creature's eyes. There is a
darkness there that tells a story and a glance. When you look at this
creature, you know that it comes from someplace you never want to visit.
That's second action. Third action I think will be to Yeah, it's going
to try and claw Numa with its last action. Good luck. Mm.
That's not good. Okay, oh boy, Enuma, we hardly knew.
Ye, it's not a crit. It's not a crit. That's good.
Uh, but I don't think this is gonna be very good. Here Numa
goes down. Uh you see the creature uh tear through a Numa's clothing and
uh, blood splatters upon the ground as a Numa falls Alma. Numa falls
to the ground. The torch lands nearby the hold on. We need to
move a Numa up. Love the creature. Okay. Uh. That was
basically the surprise around here, and Numa is now going to have to make
a check that was not a crit This is still dying one for dying two.
Now you have to make over a ten. Yep, yeah, eleven
for dying one. Right, it's as well, yes, it's ten plus
whatever the modifiers. Okay, uh, now we're back to the regular churn
order. As you all start to uh come to you were all prone,
including you, Yara, and we're starting the proper turn order. Now.
Okay. This creature, which is known as a nabasu by the way,
for those in the know, will uh now sort of look around and you
can see it flies over to you, Yara. That's bat like wings.
It flies over to you, and I think what we're gonna do here?
Hm? Oh, that's fun. We could do that. We could do
that. We could do that first actually, before we move, that would
be smart. Okay, So first things, before it moves, Yare,
It's gonna do a little spell a roo on you. I'm gonna need you
to make a will save. This is a spell this time, all right.
I will be utilizing a Raschalk's pouch, which gives me a plus two
circumstance to this rule for a twenty one mm hmm. That is not a
success, but hopefully not a critical it's not a critical fail. However,
ya, you are now paralyzed. Is there any sort of like a timer
on it or is it just entirely paralyzed throughout the duration because there's no fixing
paralyzation. Yeah, so you round. You are stunned one I'm sorry,
No, no, paralyzed. You are paralyzed for one round. Okay,
uh, and then let's see what kind of fun things happen with paralyzed.
I become flat footed, I believe, take any action zone contact, except
you recall knowledge and use actions that only require the use of your mind.
Your sense is still your sense is still function, but only in the areas
you can perceive without moving your body, so I cannot seek m m oh
boy. Okay. Uh. Then it will fly over and beat the shit
out of you. Okay. Uh so second action it moves over to you.
Third action it will Yeah, it's gonna try and just take a fucking
bite out of you with its jaws. Yeah. That's a thirty six to
hit. That is critical. Mm hmm. This is gonna be bad shit.
Okay. That is fifty two uh sixty four damage chesus chairs, a
chunk of flesh probably, uh from your from your arm yarra and your eyes.
You feel yourself making noises in your body is just kind of like looking
around for a second. You feel yourself like trembling. Uh. And that
is it for an emboss who's turn yara. You are currently paralyzed. Yes,
I'm trunk. See there's anything I can do at the moment. How
much damage was that? That was? It was sixty four? Wait the
additional damage? Oh, oh it does no, that will be flat right
now, there's a there's a sorry, hold on, Yeah, that's that's
an Uh. I'm not sure I've The way we've always been doing this is
this, if you're doing another dice roll that's also doubled, if it's just
a plus on the end, the plus doesn't get doubled, right, so
to be fifty eight there, So this is a one D six H roll
to six on the damage. Yeah, but there's I think I see what
you're getting at. There's a there's a plus. There's a plus nine in
the actual piercing attack. So seventeen doubled is no, no, no,
So you're right about the twenty six doubling, which will be fifty two,
and then the additional damage apparently does yes, according to according to te Dot,
oh at all. Oh we've never done that? Okay, oh we
have Yeah. Oh I always thought it was flat image. Okay, cool,
that's good to know. Thanks for cleaning it up. Please go creckt
now. The only thing I can do on this round is try to see
if I can recall anything about this creature or perceive anything about its actions anything
at all, So anything to do with perception. I only have warfare law,
so I don't believe I can recall anything else. But whatever you'd like
me is to a rule in order to see if I notice anything about this
creature or know anything about it whatsoever, you can make a perception check.
I don't think you have any real demon lore twenty one. This creature is
definitely like looking around this camp. You can see as it or your flesh
and starts to eat it. It looks like it's enjoying itself. I have
never looked more afraid in my entire life. That is my turn. The
rest of you have heard stuff going on. You heard a numa yelling to
wake up, You heard a startled scream from Yara Alvic. It's your turn.
I will rage and don't. Why then, I think little, I'll
rage and I will there we go run over to yours aid okay, one
action stand up? Okay, yes, that's just stand up more an action
of rage. I will run and stand in front of Yara, right next
the beast, and I can't do anything else. Three accents. You have
stood up. That's one action. Rage it's another action. Third action is
to move. That is correct. I thought raids with free action. That's
not in this game. Oop obeying? Is it not that sun behind me?
I don't realize that you're heard. Yes, you would just see the
time completely stiff and do not react at all. Uh yeah, She sort
of like sat down next to the tents with this like horrible expression on her
face. Karun says, what's going on now? Is there like a dwarf
for something attacking us? Okay, we don't want any dwarfs or solicitations.
You know what is a okay that that doesn't look like a dwarf? Lizard?
Lizard? This is uh, there's a purple thing that is eating Yaura.
Yes, I look over to the one, the one with the white
hair. I didn't mean to myself. I'm a fucking dusk walker not a
human okay, and uh Karun will let's see here. I think Karun is
going to have to use some mm hmm. I love it if the sheet
had a way that you could just like check the thing for lesser minor major
instead of writing out the whole thing. And it gets kind of cut off.
It's kind of a bummer, Okay. I think Une is going to
go ahead and chuck a bomb arino. Let's see. I think Karun is
probably thinking, okay, that's some kind of bat creature. Shadows probably not
going to work on a bat this. I do have a bottle of thunder
that I can throw at it, and I will do that, okay,
So sleepily, I rear back with this bottle of condensed thunder and lightning,
throw it and it bounces off the top of the tent and crashes on the
ground near this bat purple creature and it just does the splash damage. It's
sonic, it's very loud, and the creature has big ears, so it
should be more damage. GM, can you check on that? Yep?
Nothing, Okay, Well then I'm going to take cover behind this very safe
tint and there's no persistent damage on this one. I think it's just the
it's just the splash. Okay, alrighty, Arcilia will get up. How
much did you hear Arcilia before? By the way, she would have gotten
the benefit of all of it if I noticed she was injured. And if
you want me to roll again, I'd be happy to. But we can
assume that enough time as that you've got ar Cilia healed up. Okay.
Uh. Ars Cilia rushes out. I don't know if she's completely naked,
but it's probably pretty close. Rushes out of the tent, looks around Jara.
Uh, and let's see. Second action. Uh will probably just try
to get over here, I imagine. No, actually, we'll try to
get behind. I don't know if she can now, I don't think she
can. Probably gonna have to like leap over the tents and shit, I
think she's just gonna stay there. Okay, Uh, she will get there.
That's the second action. Third action will be to smash with the morning
Star. That is a thirty two to hit. Holy shit, a better
hit. That is a hit okay, and that is for five bludgeoning damage.
Uh. Okay. I feel like Arcilia just kind of like ran out
of the tent, trying to figure out what's going on, doesn't like take
out the ambulant to hold up, just trying to figure out what's going on,
Caesus creature and just tries to hit it. Sakawachi. Will uh,
I think, climb out of the tent, try and see what's going on.
What creature will spend turn getting back behind yarra and we'll cast blush,
okay, rash talk, it's your turn. M uh. I'm assuming I
cannot see through the tent to this. I don't know how tolerating, okay,
but I heard horrible things and biting and screaming about a nightmare, purple
thing and all of that. So I stand up, I look down at
the monotor and go give this to whatever nightmare is out there, and I
give a monotism goblin box. There's a mon I will be able to run
out and get to right there within a move. Okay, it's a saving
throw forty two DC of twenty two. Let's see. Yes, I expect
it's plus thirty to do very well against this. Wow, it failed,
so that was a two roll. This never happens. It's got box one
get fucked. It's permanently sickond one. Now amazing, it's eight seem to
hits down by I think it's a c d c's and to hit are down
one. I'll double ten that real quick sicken is very bad. Next round
it's ode permanently. Okay, is that it for your turner rash talk,
Yes, that is everything I can do. Hold on, let me just
check on something sickened. Is all checks in dcs, all of them not
ac though. Okay, I actually need I need a few saves. Sorry,
I didn't notice this. It does have something kind of nasty, uh,
Malvic or Celia Yara, I need fortitude saves thirty three eighteen. That
is a critical success, Malvic. Oh uh okay, Celia, sorry,
actually this is kind of and this is because it hit me. This is
this is this is an innate ability uh a rash talk. I need it
from you as well, Jesus, mhm mm hm. I'll just take it.
I don't want to use up my arow point okay. From Sakawachi.
Okay, everybody is getting roll for this one, just barely a success from
Sakawachi. Roon, and I need to roll for Denim. Sorry, I
have so many character sheets today, folks, Apologies for the delays fortitude from
Karun fail. Uh denis where'd you go? Oh? Oh another fail?
Okay, here we go. Uh everybody that failed you are drained one no
way yep, God sorry, critical to see what he means I get rid
of my dreamed dr Yay sometimes it does. That should be double checked.
Uh no, this just I think this just means that you don't get anything
worse here. Yeah, this is an aura. Unfortunately you all glance at
this creature's eyes. That's everybody who failed here. Somehow you saw this creature's
eyes or Rostock maybe that was from Uh oh, actually, I'm sorry Roschock.
This does not apply to you. Sorry, I'm stealing the tent.
Yea. It does not apply to rocktoc or Danigi. But I think everybody
else can see. You do look in these creatures eyes. Everybody else have
failed, and you see something horrible. It is this creature is not from
this world. It wherever it came from, is a horror. It is
something truly, truly awful. And just looking in this creature's eyes is enough
to see a reflection of this world and enough to have such an impact on
you that you feel absolutely like taking another breath is difficult. You are drained.
Okay, sorry, that was There's a lot of sheets that I'm trying
to look at here simultaneously. I missed that. Was that it for your
turner rash talk? Oh? Yes it has been. Yes, okay,
okay, I'm not gonna look for this icon. But let's see. We
had Malvic I think was the only one that succeeded, right, yep.
Fuck No Sacawachi, No Sakawachie. Oh Sacawachie did succeed. Yes, okay,
good, thank you. But our celia is drained one. Yahara's drained
one. Jesus Christ, the ruin is drained one. Okay, in Uma
needs to be to twelve. Hey, still dying too, Still dying too?
For Numa. Nabasu is sickened one thanks to a rash talk. It's
sort of like looking around and smile. It's enjoying this. You see it
looking around in the carnage and things that are happening here, as it's still
like licking Yara's blood off of its teeth and probably has like chunks of her
clothing like stuck in between part of its teeth. And let's see I think
it's going to look at you, Malvic. Malvic, what languages do you
speak? Mm hmm, shrink, Cornick and common. Nope, you don't
understand it is this out louder in the head. Oh no, this is
inside Malvic's head. You just and let's see here. Oh boy, this
is fun. Um Uh, let me just see what is required? This
spell fuck off. I think what's gonna happen here is Oh, this could
be fun. This could be fun. I need a fortitude save again,
Malvic. As you see dark tendrils begin to emerge from the shadows, as
they begin to try to wrap around you. Uh, you managed to stand
strong as grim tendrils trying to grab you. Uh. This is uh success
for you, not a critical success. Oh was that a spell? It
was? I'm sorry, what's it? Arranged? Spell? No? Okay,
that's different, not a uh for mal And the reason I'm asking,
well, this is it is a spell in melee, but it is it's
not like a ranged beam kind of rolling kind of spell. So this is
uh, Malvic, you have your attack of opportunity. I think that that
still goes off. That's why I was asking, because it's any spell in
melee yeah, No, there are plenty like touch spells don't do it like
a cone doesn't. So this was the spell has a range, but it's
not like a target. It's not like that would. Yeah, that's a
range of the round. Let's see moving out that would. Okay, all
right, I think you get your normal attack of opportunities. All right,
Elson, you're adding him ride twenty six. It's a miss mm hmm yeah,
yep, uh okay. D It sort of like laughs as it dodges
out of the way of your attack, almost as if it was expecting you
to do this, malavik. Uh. It will then mm hmm. Yeah.
I think it's gonna try and uh take a fucking bite out of you.
Jaws uh, jagged sharp teeth. It will try and take a bite
out of you. Uh. Now it has a minus one because it is
sickened. Oh actually, I'm sorry, Hold on your attack. I think
hits Uh. I don't believe sickened effects AC does not. Okay, No,
it's DC's and checks. Okay, then it will just try and fucking
bite you Melovic with its jaws twenty one to hit. That's a natural one.
It smiss twenty one is a natural one. I just want to emphasize
that again. Thankfully, it's a twenty technically, Yeah, that is a
miss Malevic. You just you see it like trying to like fucking just take
a bite out of one of your arms and you just you spin back,
avoiding its jaws. Okay, Yara, it's your turn. Am I able
to see uma from where I am? Uh? I think so before?
I literally the edge of the grid line touches and I don't think the tent
would be in the way there. And you said that I'm seated right all
right, so I'm able to see her and move my arms now that I
am no longer paralyzed or move see them and move my arms. I'm sorry
to interrupt. What the hell is Dnigi doing you sleep? He's not on
the turn? Oh shit, yeah, I forgot Sorry, ok thank you
everyone else since moved to just napping. Apologize. I've got so many windows
up and I missed it. I apologize we did her so badly. Okay,
she has come before me nineteen. Sorry, we'll go there. Okay,
uh, Yara, I'm sorry. What were you saying? Something?
With this turn, I have regained the movement of my arms. Yeah,
I think I don't know when paralyzes over. I feel like I'm not sure
if it's done at the beginning of your turn at the end. Well,
it's already been one round where I did not get the chance to use it,
so it should be up now. Okay, excellent, I'll take it.
I am going to channel all the positive energy within my body. You'll
see me glow golden as I cast a hand out and I cast Oh gosh,
where is it? I just had it stabilize towards Enuma. Okay,
it should be within thirty feet. Yes, they are twenty feet away technically,
so Numa is now at zero hit points, remaining unconscious, but they
no longer will be dealing with the dying penalties each turn. From there,
I'm looking around, I'm going to go, oh shit, and before I
try and stand up, I'm going to try and pat whatever wounds that I
can in case I start spewing all over the place. So I will bouto
medicine on myself, utilizing at an expert level, and that is twenty five
points of healing. That is my ton. Okay, Doki alc, it's
your turn. Oh okay, I will take a step action and move here
and make it flat for it. Then I will try to get us at.
I will give us attention, and given I don't expect it to speak
my language, so I will give it a intimidating glare. And it looks
into my eyes, see a burning rage of fire in the garde. Please
make an intimidation check. He'll re roll that thirteen getting re rolled twenty five,
twenty five now past finer people. This uh intimidation role that Malvic is
making. What is this against? Is this? Uh? Is this versus
this creature's will against well DC, That's what I thought. I just couldn't
remember in that moment. Yeah, so sickond is minus one all DC's and
checks checks okay, uh makes it breaks at Malvic fortunately unfortunately, unfortunately unfortunately
for a year. Okay, yes, because that is right, Okay,
all right, well I know what I do matter, So swing thinking as
a minus one on DC now not a taste. Well now because of the
flanking, Yes, twenty four that is a miss. You see Malvick's great
sword strike out and this creature just kind of like bats it aside as you
attack, is that if you turn Malvick? That is all my actions okay,
strained as a bitch on me, I can say, yeah, yep,
super bad, Karon, Hope, don't look into that thing's eyes.
I I I've seen things in my time, and I have to say that
is not okay, what is there? Don't look at it? It's bad.
Someone If someone could just you know, cover the creature, if you
have like a cloth, or if we can take a tint and just you
know, put it over a creature's face, that would be good. Don't
like it, Karun will I think? Oh boy, okay, so thunder
didn't work real well, let's go ahead and we're gonna try and freeze it.
Okay, we're gonna try and freeze it. She grabs a vial from
her belt and she chucks it at this creature and it splashes right on the
ground nearby, and we'll do a little bit of cold splash. Now here's
the question. The minus ten foot speed. Is that still applicable with the
splash damage? Only? I don't know, that is the question. Okay?
Oh? I mean, and then Carin will fire Joanna, And that
is a myth even worse because that should have been a secondary attack. So
it was a nine. That is definitely a miss. Bolt sales probably partially
through the tent directly in front of Karun and just completely misses the Nabasu,
probably almost hits Alvic. And that is it for constern Or Celia. I
will take out my amulet and I will make an esoteric lore role to potentially
expose any weaknesses for this creature. Oh that's a very good role. Thirty
two. Let's see what we have here. I have so many things open
not a crit but it is a success okay. And on a success our
Celia will learn exploit vulnerability important fact about the creature. Learning its highest weakness
or one of its highest weaknesses. If it has multiple with the same value,
but not its other weaknesses, resistances or immunities, you can exploit either
the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis. You're unarmed, and weapon strikes against
the creature also become magical if they weren't already. Oh right, this creature
has two weaknesses, and because they are the same value, I guess you
learn both. Oh wait, learning its highest weakness or one of its hie
weakness is I'll roll fin out odd is the first one even as the second
one It is even learn the second one, it's weakness you good, good
five. So if we compliment it, we win. It's it's uncomfortable and
it just doesn't want to be perceived anymore. It's it's it was, this
is Pumpkinberry's true form. Okay, uh so then our Cilia's morning Star.
You can see it just starts having like rainbows and sparkles shooting off of it.
Now it's uh yeah, it's got like hello Kitty stickers on it,
like uh and yeah yeah uh, our Cilia will try and hit with uh
with the morning Star towards the creature. Now that is a twenty nine hitter.
Celia with drained one dream one is I'm on right? Yeah? Drained?
I thought was just HP not to it. Yes, it has to
do with you at fort No, it's it's more than just HP armor class
yeah, HP max Yeah that makes sense wine mine. Yeah yeah, it's
max HP AC a status penalty to your constitution based checks such as forty tooth
saves. You lose your hit points equal to that number. No, it
doesn't say anything about your AC or anything. Well, when I put it
up to plus one, it takes away from my AC. It's not supposed
to. Crone is doing that to me? Oh that sucks. Okay,
well i'll okay, yeah, there's no ac effect. Oh well all right
then, oh I mean it's fine. Nothing messed up on our combat.
Okay. So, uh this is plus two plus Wait I can never get
this right. It's like half her level, right, it's like three plus
two. I think it's just a plus it's listed stop okay, five.
I just didn't know if that was right or not. Like number she may
not have changed. I think she went up, just used the vibe.
Oh yeah, because I think when she leveled she got a higher bonus like
the rest of us. Did just use the five. I know she didn't
change it. Okay, but uh yeah, So Arculia hits with the with
the with the morning Star. Uh so again the way that this works,
there's no extra damage on top now because it's a personal anthesisist right, she
doesn't also get the good damage on top? No that yeah, okay,
just checking, okay. Yeah, So Arcilia clanks this thing behind behind its
back, like uh, smacking the morning Star probably like crunching its wing a
little bit, like and then we'll try and swing again, I guess with
the last attack. That is a miss with a twenty one. The creature
now sort of moves and uses its wing to probably like push our celia as
she swings, and she just misses. Okay, sakawachi Uh will increase the
range of bless and that is it for her turn. Dani burst forth from
the tent Suku. She's looking around like a bit wildly what is that critcha
and immediately rushes for the bow and will try and take a shot at this
creature with her composite long bow. We'll also go ahead and designate this as
prey one action, one action move, one action hunt prey and one action
to attack. That is a thirty from DNI yep. That is not a
crit It is going to give an additional D eight Yeah, yep because of
hunt prey Okay. That's nine damages, not like minimum death minimum damage,
but maximum on the extra damage from hunt prey okay seventeen damage. The arrow
sails true. The creature like holds up its arm. You see the arrow
like like pierced through its arm. It uses its arm to kind of like
block a headshot from the curses damn, and that is it for her turn.
Rash talk. Yes, just for future I did figure out technically she
would do two more damage to that thing, Stella or Celia. We never
run into anything with an actual weakness. Okay, so it's the mortal weakness,
so it adds good instead of half a level. Got so in that
case she would do two more. It's five good instead of yeah, five
good plus the two, so seven total instead of the five anyway, all
right, we never run into weaknesses, so it's always been in the pace.
Yes, it is all right. I have stopped myself from being prone,
and I'd like to not be in this up after its turn. Yes,
it's stage two now, which means it is now slowed one permanently.
Don't need two actions forever. Very nasty. Yes, I am living my
best life. I really did twenty five clarifying. Can I see it from
here? Is that yellow enough? Definitely? Okay, wonderful. Just see
you just running away? All right? I did what I can. Goodbye.
Earlier you were claiming I'd never run away from things, telling me I
run away. No, no, no, actually, let me just check
on something. Yes, uh wow, Sorry, I'm just trying to see
this creature's aura. If you succeed once if you need to make another,
isn't just a perma? Oh? God doesn't need to look at you.
Uh well, yeah, it's in the middle of a fight. It's looking
all around. Okay, I succeeded, so I need to make another one.
Yeah, he critically succeeded. Doesn't matter, O, RELI instead of
just like a one time or is just on. Yeah, it's a nasty
creature. It's very nasty. O. The things screwed up everything of mine,
that drain whatever. I'm supposed to have a plus fifteen in fortitude because
of my cloak. Just give me a negative one for some reason? Oh
zero, there we go, all right? Cool? Yeah, give me
a negative one. And I don't know why I did that. Everything is
good now, jozers here, Okay, that's a natural why I'm going to
naturally reroll that shit? Okay, no more hero woints twenty seven Okay,
still drained one basically well yeah, okay, drain yeah, drain one stays
there. Okay, sorry rashack. Oh, I can put the one before
you make it easier. This is all right, Okay, I've moved myself
to here. That's where I want to be, and I will use a
new spell and we'll see if it works. I cast Fireball level nine.
I thought if I didn't take Fireball, but I truly did think about it
for a long time, and it would be perfect for this situation. Uh
no, days. Wait, it must make a DC twenty two, but
it has a minus one to its DC's in order to not be fast forwarded
through its own time. I'm trying to fatigue. If like it hasn't slept
all day. Oh holy shit. Okay, oh wow. If it succeeds
and not critically, it's still enfeeble for round. Oh boy, well it
cood riad criticled. All right, there we go. That's my turn.
I got one success. That's more than most. Hey, it was a
very good one. Though they have this creature slowed is phenomena? Oh yes,
no, I'm again. This is really not me complaining. I got
the one thing I wanted to happen. Okay, yeah, Numa is stable,
just out of the fight right now. The nimbasu. Okay, oh
boy, I think let's see a drained It's there someplace. It might be
down at the bottom. Okay, all right, thank you. Oh we
got some fun stuff that we can do. What shall we do here?
Wait? Now it's in the middle left below doomed. I was thinking paralyzed.
Oh shit, grim tendrils is a line thirty foot line? Whoa,
hen stay, I can talk about opportunity, yes, uh okay, Instead
it will go ahead and use a touch spell on Malvic. It looks so
hearty. What just here? This horrible language spoken in your head? Malvic?
It like hurts your brain as this creature will cast vampire touch upon you.
That doesn't triple one three ones on a sixty six and it got a
twelve. Yep, it doesn't like what was inside of Malvic for of DC
twenty five makes it breaks here? Yeah, so so I win. That
makes it breaks there? Right? So no, because it's attacking basic Yeah,
it's attacking. What happened to the Okay? I never understand this.
So the last make it break it was? What an attack of opportunity?
What was it? So that was the that was the intimidation chet intimidation?
So it rolled? No, he this is correct, Malevic, make it
break it? He wrote, Malevic rolled, so he met the DC.
I screwed up. No, I screwed up from last time. Malvick should
have had a success with the intimidation. This is also a success. Oh,
I miss I screwed up from earlier. So that was a that was
an intimidation. I don't think there was anything though. That was one off
the more had taken his AC down, which he would have hit that one
with a twenty five after flat footed. Yeah, I would have hit it
for twenty eight damage. Where back when it did an attack he got a
striking with his great sort attack of twenty twenty four, but it would be
considered a twenty five and it had minus two to a C due to flanking.
But it'd be intimidation if flanking, so it'd be a twenty four twenty
six. Is is natural AC right now? Seven mm hmmm? So was
it flanking would make it twenty five? Oh and he was frightened, which
would make it go down one. Uh that is correct? Okay, okay,
So retroactively that was a hit. Sorry, A lot of numbers,
a lot of character sheets, keep tracking, twelve windows open. We do
we understood, I really did. I don't know who makes and who breaks
that. It was like, all right, the demoralize all the intimidation that
you did. That's over. This round correct. Right at the end of
his turn, it's over and then it's over right right the end of your
turn. Okay, where is the fear? I feel like it is a
comment. It's the exclamation points. Yes, right one. I'm looking forward
to the last episode. We have everything memorized. Yeah, oh, that'll
definitely happen. Well, absolutely, we don't. You don't have to play
this game for like two years. There's minimum to like just have a basic
handle on all the conditions and everything. Okay, So this vampiric touch is
a hit for twelve negative damage and you can see the creatures sort of like
sort of its wounds don't close, but it has a certain it has a
certain zest for life. Again, clear damage six because he succeeded to make
it break it. No, it's a total twelve correct half damage for a
success on a basic saving throw because it's minus one d C due to sickened.
It does half damage because it's sickened. No, yes, because it's
a minus one to its d C. So it's not actually the DC that
you see right there, but it's sick and correct. He rolled a success
on his foot against the DC basic saving treads. He failed wait twenty five
to twenty five because sick and made it a DC of twenty five. So
make it break it? Okay, so he rolled, So then I was
right from before. So then this thing gets the HP back. It was
a fail his animation intimidation, chat on, make it break it? If
I roll, who wins? If the DC is a twenty five, I
rolled a twenty five? Does the monster win or do I win? When
you tie? It's the it's the defender that is successful with a tie.
Well, that's never been the case on like AC, he's been, it's
always been. I've never I never got it. I just trusted the DM.
I've always done the whoever rolls, that's the one that will win with
the make it break it? Right? Yes, so the attacker or the
person who is damage. But let's make this easy. I take twelve damage
and it takes twenty eight. No, because I think it's I think I
think it's the opposite. Yeah, so it made it take Yeah, it
didn't take the damage and you succeeded here. Okay, So let me ask
this a weird question. If it attacked me and it was this attack was
twenty four, My AC is twenty four does it hit yes, yes,
also, okay, the netflix is whatever we're trying to get. Do the
intimidation. Malavic roled. He had to make a certain DC. He made
it break and breaked it, which means the intimidation should have worked, just
like the AC and everything else. Let's make it break it. Malavik roled
in these situations both times. Both times, the CMD and AC all target
numbers. You match that number and you succeed. You roll whatever, mad,
So I think it's whoever is rolling correct, Okay, okay, so
it is. He takes six damage. The creature took twenty eight both and
then both cases Malevic was successful. Okay, okay, so I take no
damage six damage. Well, my temporary took the six, so I have
two temporary left. All right, cool, thanks for hanging with us.
Chat We do a question. We got it, We got again. We
don't hold any of this against wag. He is dealing with so many screens.
It's a night mare. We deal with one. I have so many
two AAC so I have so many screens. They're overlaid on top of each
other. You need to get the four monitors set up. My friend would
help, you know. I don't think it would help. I don't.
I don't disagree. Trying to run a game. He was he was doing
an offline game, uh, testing out a new game, and uh he
he was like, I have one monitor. He's got an ultra wide.
He's one of the really he's got one of those really big like curved ultra
Eede monitors. And he's like, he's like, even with the ultra wide,
it's not enough. Okay, Uh, there is no force. Human
girl. I know you keep typing this in chat. It's Ulla Kuk who
I think you're speaking about. Ulla Kuk is in the tent cowering, not
a fighter. Yeah, I mean technically the wind that went down that Winnuma
was not just trying to warn everybody. He had to get out and take
a piss. What the fuck is that? That's why I haven't healed a
numa, because they're not a fighter anyway, they'll just keep going down.
The poor thing had like eighteen HP. Anyway, I'm going to go ahead
and stand up knocking off my prone statusnivation is off now, yeah, okay,
when you're out your turn, when your turn comes up, okay,
So it is negative to their to their ac still excellent. So I've noticed
our Celia using her good girl anime tactics, and I am quite familiar with
that type of tactic, and as such, I'm going to go ahead after
standing up, and conjure up a beam of light in my hands, casting
searing light towards this creature. And there is a plus one from blessed as
I am in the radius, there is a minus how much to is it
two to their ac a because it is flat No, well, the flat
foot doesn't apply to me. Flat foot flat footed is too frightened? Is
one? Excellent? Right? So this is a hit twenty four excellent.
So that's seventeen damage of fire. But if it is in fact a fiend
or undead, it takes fifth teen additional good damage wowo, and an additional
five on top because it has a weakness. Yes, okay, thirty seven
damage. That's not too shabby, there, you are not too shabby.
Uh so yarra, what does it look like is you cast this spell?
Is this the one that hits your friends? By no? No, thank
God, like prasthma. No, I have learned another trick as we've leveled,
and I conjure this up with see my hands. My skirt is billowing
as I cast all of this energy into my hands to cast forth this bright,
blinding, pale golden light as it pierces this creature directly. I wish
I had some kind of sailor moon sound effects because I feel like it's a
very I feel like it's a very sailor moon attack that you do right now.
Mm hmm okay U good, go over gay and if that out loud,
no, damn it. This seems fucking speaking in my head. That's
just my turne. Probably no, it's language, but it's not talking aloud.
So I have no idea. Alvic, that's my goal, all right,
you are right flat footed until the end of my turn. So with
this I'm going to flat footed regardless. But it's frightened. Frightened a man.
Yes, strike it again, Oh twenty four. It's barely a hit.
Okay, four of that damage is five and matters. I don't think
it does. I mean the fire it's not. You strike again. This
time. It brings its its arm up to block Malvic. Uh. It's
not able to get its like wing to reinforce, and you can see drag
like a furrow through its arm. God in your head, and I'm going
to strike at it again. Now that's twenty for very nice. I'm from
my last action. I am going to attempt to grab it. Okay,
fifteen. Yeah, I don't think that's a success. Nope, no,
not even for trying. Okay, karounmmmmm, Karoon will reload with one action,
and I think I think we'll chuck another bomb. Okay, we tried
thunder, we tried ice. I don't have I know you yelled about something,
some sort of good. I don't know exactly how you bottle good.
You know, if we can get Yarra to spit in a jar or something.
But you know, that's something maybe we might consider for you know,
other alchemical purposes. We can instead throw a bottle of fire, and this
is twenty one to hit. That is a miss, of course, but
we will potentially light this creature on fire. As the fire napalm splashes onto
this creature and sort of bubbles and uh combusts. Okay uh, And that's
it for Karn's turn reload and throw bomb. Um. Actually, her hand
crossbow I don't think has a reload right hold on it does, but you
can do it with one hand. I do believe you need a reload action.
That might be the difference between a regular cross one and the hand cross
below. Right, No hand crossbows. It is one hand, so you
can still reload it while doing other stuff and have other things in your hand
essentially, Okay, I think it has a reload. Okay, that's gonna
be it for Corinstern Arcilia. Ars Cilia is going to keep swinging with the
hours morning Star. Oh that's a crit. Huh actually not a crit anymore
because no longer fight just really okay, uh so that will be for sevourteen.
I've plus another two. Uh right, it'll be fourteen totally, yes,
okay, all right. First attack, Second attack that is a uh.
This time the nabasu uh spins again and shoves or Cilia with its wing.
Last attack, Wow, good roles, but just barely miss uh Okay,
third one is also a miss. Arcilia swings kind of wildly, stepping
on part of the tent and just slightly throwing her aim off Sakuachi will increase
the range of bless dude Fini rolls a crat here. That will be hilarious.
Uh it is the knees turn crit Lord uh, let's see. Still
technically, first time the hunter hits the designated prey in and around. Okay,
so the hunt prey is just for the first action. Still up though,
Okay needs to reload and then we'll attack with the long bell. That
is a thirty to hit. That is a hit. We'll still get your
her bonus D eight that is sixteen plus one. You complaining, it's a
bit. You can see Denigi shoots, this arrow sails and it actually the
creature tries to bring up its arm to block and it doesn't. Snigi's arrow
actually sails through part of its neck. You can see lots of horrible like
black achre like pouring out of the wound. Creature does not look good.
Anig take aim again for her last action. Oh actually, hold on,
now has to re wait reload zero low, Yes, it's just draw.
You don't reload zero well, thirty two is another hit, loads another arrow.
This arrow sails through the creature's head. As you see it are sort
of like look bewildered for a second, like it can't possibly acknowledge what's happening,
and then it stumbles and falls to the ground. Mhmm, you are
out of combat. I immediately run to a Numa and I will cast a
level two heel for two actions on them, So that shall be six plus
sixteen, so twenty two points of healing, twenty two points of healing.
A Numa wakes up. It is safe. It's a safe, darling.
It is safe. You're safe. We're all right. Creature, it is
dead, it is dead. Suck suck, yes, are you all right?
I'm sorry? What have you to be sorry about? A I think
I kissed myself. Soaku puts a head on a Numa's shoulder. Soku,
I do not worry about that. Thank you for warning us hi u h
I do not like it. Here Soccu like leans back, uh dnigi Uma
leans back on Sakawachi and they just kind of like hold each other for a
second. Uh huh. What was that creature? I might know from my
critical success? Does this line up with all of the things from the caravan
when I was in this gating? A potential demon certainly does a rash talk,
It certainly does. Doesn't quite explain how there was no scene left behind,
But I think, based on your original role, you put two and
two together and suggest maybe it had more spells that it was capable of using.
So glad we didn't deal with it that way. Should be very glad.
The slow your reactions smells can't happen. Oh yeah, still had some
very nasty abilities. But it's slumps here and it smells horrible. I'm going
back to the tent to get my last hour sleep, without even saying a
word to anyone, without moving the body, without skinning anything. I'm going
to drag the creature off to the side. I'm from camp, holding on
ji the parts of me that have been torn open. I think someone else
needs to be on watch. I can do it. Celia speaks up.
Thank you, your eyes are better than mine, and I'll retreat to the
tent and start working on my wounds as your wounds begin to close on their
own. I'm not, but I don't say a word. I've begun to
make a shrine to the mosquito witch around this body I've dragged to the side.
Please make a religion, jack a talk or an occultism. She's her
tradition is a cult. By the way, Yeah, okay, okay,
just take that note. Religion is is. It's not a religion, it's
a lifestyle. You want to die thirty three Aign thirty three A rash talk.
As you begin to set up the shrine, more blood begins to pour
out of this creature. Mosquitoes begin to come out of all the small all
bits of huddles here and there snow that has melted, maybe remnants creatures.
They begin to swarm onto this creature, devouring it, sh draining this creature's
demonic blood. They come from everywhere. Rash talk. As they drink this
creatures blood, you see the mosquitoes begin to form somewhat humanoid shape swings and
you see red eyes looking back at you. Immediately annealing, These folded arms
move and again these are all mosquitoes that are doing this movement in the shape
of some creature, and you recognize them immediately, mosquito witch staring at you.
You feel the presence here upon you. The rest of the world sort
of darkens and fades away, and you see the ground covered in blood.
There's a fetid stench around. Any movements you make cause ripples in the blood,
and this black achre that pours from this creature begins to spread amongst the
blood, and you can see the mosquito which look towards you hacking their head,
and there is a strange buzzing sound, the sounds of millions of wings
flapping, And somehow I can make words out amongst this buzzing my English.
You bring me shrip you as I deem man m m hm helve bring more
holes creature. Their blood is strange, it is foul and feted. We
enjoy it. Do not fail me again. Ripples of blood slow and as
you link seen before you changes. The corpse of this creature has been fed
upon and is a desiccated husk before you h If lizards could sweat, it'd
be that like a gift of just the staring off into space, sweating profusely.
Rustock is set ease for the first time in the while. There's blood
on your hands, on your face, you feel if they're sticky and sort
of metallic and foul, smells bad. I collect as much as I can
of it to make blood left here. Ah, just what you have left
on your hands in your mouth. Ah, I can draw some conclusions with
that. I will head back toward my tent. It's some water from my
skin and some soap and wash, and then go to bed. Celia waits
on watch as an eye and Saquachee, Comfort and Numa and the rest of
you return to bed having dreams of blood. Hello, this is why Stephen
