your way, karun and let's see what that's gonna do. Okay, that's
good. I just accidentally refreshed. Cool coo cool, good way to start.
It refreshes me. It feels so refreshing. Kiss you kill hit points
Wow wow Okay, then I ad queen Philabus sends an aqueous fist your way,
and let's see this is going to be where'd that go? Here?
It is? That's a thirty three to hit it hits? Is it a
critical? Yes? It is a critical? Oh boy, that's twenty six
bludgeoning damage. Uh that's the first attack, the second attack. Hang on,
I'm doing math. You can just click on your token, and then
inside the red bubble, just do minus twenty six. Oh really, I've
been doing this the hard way the entire campaign. No, you can also
just do plus if you're healed or whatever. That also works today I've learned.
Okay, let's see if it matters with attack number two. Let's say
twenty nine to hit that also hits. It is not the crid for thirteen
bludgeoning damage. This time I'm down. Kerun is just absolutely clocked by this
fist hits her square in the face. And then for for Labis's third action,
she will let's see, I think nobody's in range for that. She
will a lot to do there. Oh we can do this for one action.
Yes, she will heal herself. Okay, okay. Uh, you
see the waters sort of swirl around Fillabis as Karoon gets knocked down to the
ground. Uh and is her only dying one? That last attack was not
a crit So you're dying one and you are a Christian? How do I
market this dying one? You should have it in my character sheet. Uh,
there's uh you you yeah, it's infect You can also mark yourself with
a little icon dying dying Dying one. Okay, also unconscious, light footed,
and blinded. Is this right? Okay, auto selects all of those.
Yep, just making sure. Okay. The water begins to swirl around
phi Labis and you can see it start to close up her wounds. Okay,
uh Karun, you get moved just before phi Labis's turn, and then
arashak it is your turn. Yes, now that's him. The VIC has
pulled Yara out of the water after I yelled get her over here. First
things first, I use reach in order to extend the range of life boost
onto Yara. That will be four four rounds of six points of healing starting
at the beginning of your turn. You did not roll for dying because you
heal first. Excellent, Thank you. I have one more action. What
are we doing? This is not going well? Back, I'm still underwater.
If there is no response, I will continue to run. Oh I'm
overly concerned about just kind of holding her and rocking and looking back and like
we finished when we started, and uh, I will wait. That is
the end of my turn, yarrah. I think I spit a little bit
of the water out at Malvik's face accidentally because he's in He's kind of what
are you doing? You're right? Wake up? Get up? Oh my
god. I look around and I I am able to see that Karun has
fallen. I take myself to my feet. I believe that is an action.
Yes, uh, yes, that is correct. You are you were
prone? And do you stand up? Will take one action, all right.
With my second action, I will go ahead and I will call on
my curse even further. Oh wait, actually, for my second action,
I'm going to use my healer's gloves first and foremost to heal myself for eighteen
points of healing, and then following that with my last and final action.
How with my final action, I'm going to go ahead and I will cast
hold on my focus bills disappeared because these sheets always do this for some reason.
I will use my my oracular powers to go ahead and reach an arm
out, pouring forth a golden light towards Karun to heal them for eleven points
of healing. And am I able to see Arsilia under the water? Ooh
ah, I think Arcilia is ten feet down right now. I'm gonna roll
for it. Actually, let's have you roll for it. A perception check
won't be too hard. That's a twelve. Okay, I think with a
twelve you can probably just barely make out Arsilia, oh shit, And I
will extend another hand out towards her, and she will also be healed for
eleven points of damage. And I will be taking or of healing part of
me, and I will be taking five points of damage for each of you
per round if you were hit by something, and that is my turn,
and you can split that. Yes, so it's I can do it.
Are two people? Yes, because it's heightened. Yes, it is heightened
now that we've leveled up. Okay, that is a big deal. Okay,
Yes, Arsilia, you are also healed. Okay, so Karn,
you are still prone, You're still down on the ground, but you are
no longer dying. You are wounded one? Yes? Or you is the
wounded also healed? I am under the impression that I am wounded one because
I have been healed instead of dying one. Is this right? Yeah?
That does not because I am prone, but because I am prone, I'm
also flat footed. Yes, good question. I'm not sure. I think
it's what it did automatically, not to trust through it. Is that what
you're asking? Yes? Yes, prone, I am flat footed. Okay,
okay, making sure alrighty Uh, that's it for yours turn the fist
which is kind of underwater h and pointing with our celia down below the surface.
Uh, it's turn. Uh, okay, it will continue trying to
smash ar Cilia into the ice floes below the surface of the water. Here
we go incoming wave attack on our cilia. Twenty to hit. That's a
miss, Oh, okay, Arcilia. You're sort of swirling around in this
like Coriolis like effect from this vortex of water that's continues like pulling you down.
You see maybe this bit of water start to like bubble and you can
start to see like a different kind of effect below the water as it heads
towards you. You quickly are able to bring up your arms and brace yourself
against the ice flow and just kind of shove the wave away. However,
second attack heads your way this time of fifteen yep, and the last attack
I think will be m I think what we're gonna do then for this last
one, Uh no, it's terrible at that. It's just gonna try and
wave attack you again. Okay. A third wave attack headed your way,
same thing. Uh, you just brace yourself against this this torrent of a
force and water that's just pushing you further and further into the ice. We
see that like anime like effect with your feet against the ice flow. Your
feet, there's kind of like digging into the ice. But you hold yourself
strong. You were not pushed further down into the water. And it is
now your turn. As I am being buffeted by this water, I try
to resist with all my might, and I am focusing, focusing on the
light coming from the surface, the light that I am so familiar with,
Yarra's light. And I try to kick off of the ice and swim up.
I would like to get out of the water. Athletics check twenty one
twenty one. Let me confirm. I believe that is a success. Let
me just have a check. Yes, just barely. You managed to break
the surface of the water as you gasp, prayer. Very good. I
would like to As I break the surface, I look around. I see
that yarras up, but I seek is still on the ground. Karun is
on the ground. You see, Karun is kind of like stirring and Karun.
I will try to swim here and make it onto the steps. Okay,
what's your speed? My speed is I believe twenty five? Where is
this? Okay? So I'll say that you yeah, I'll say that you
can get there with one action, all right. I used to like swim
up and onto the ice. That'll be one action there, okay. And
so for my final action, I would like to move still have two actions,
it's too perfect, all right. What I will do is I will
run up behind the Naiad, and with my final action I would like to
take out a ask of oil and uncork it and hold it over the fountain
in a threatening manner. Stop this right now, Intimidation, Jack, I
will defile the last of what remains of your god if you do not stop.
Twenty two. I would like to assist in this because I am also
trained in intimidation. From the ground, I was saying, she'll do it,
she'll do it, you'd better believe her. Let's see here. You
see the Naiad queen turn towards you are Celia, and you feel this.
I guess this like this, this aura of contempt, and you see her
eyes turn towards you, beautiful yet horrible at the same time, This this
visage of utter disdain and hatred turns towards you. I will make your yea
horrific and unending. Can I don't fee hellstely, I don't the oil?
Okay, you dump the oil. No. As the oil begins to spread
out, you can see this reflective uh a puddle start to form on the
top of the water. The fountain is uh, you know, constantly spewing
forth the water. But now you can see the oil is sort of being
filtered back into this uh process and you can see the oil sort of mixing
with the water, and you know, and and leaving these uh lava lamp
like bubbles, you know through the water. Should do it? You wouldn't
believe me, and you feel the Naiad Queen's focus is on you. Excellent.
That will be my turn, alvic. I will take my arms around
from around yarra and then I will brace myself on the ground. You'll see
my claws extending. It's like a little bit more feral on all fours.
And I dashed towards this fountain a sudden charge. I move the same speed
across land and water and jump doesn't matter what I'm doing. Raging athlete gives
me this and I just slash at this fountain as hard as I can.
You attack the fountain. I attack the fountain first. Ok I do have
haste already make an attack roll twenty nine. Okay, that is a crit
and that will be twenty two. Uh. Which damage are you doing?
You're seeing splashing? Okay, splashing damage? Uh? You you attack this
fountain, and this one, unlike the other two fountains, is made of
like a like a sculpted stone. But you hit it with such force.
You see this large like divot taken out of where you've chopped it, and
you see like a webwork of cracks spread out. It is not down,
it's still working. It is still functioning, and I will hit it again.
Okay an eighteen is you? You strike it? Go ahead and give
me the damage. Great? Did I not go up to the home.
I'm so sorry? Ok seventeen okay, Uh, you see more cracks spread
out. Still hasn't been destroyed, but it's looking pretty fucked up. Did
I look at her and a guy in contact us? I'll strike it again.
You don't have any more? That was USA too? Oh yeah,
I do have one more action. Oh okay, yep, yep, y're
correct, and you got your you got to put in your life boost.
If you haven't, then should be down to just one. Okay, thirteen
unfortunately is not enough. I think as you're striking this thing kind of like
rabidly, you just kind of slip a little bit on the snow and you
just you hit it, but it just kind of deflected a little bit it.
Okay, parun it's your turn. How am I? How close am
I to them? To the Naiads? She's still here right in front of
me? Is she's not looking at me? Yeah, she's not looking at
you. She's turned towards ar Celia and Malvic. I see. Do I
have any sort of special bonus for attacking her with the dagger while she's turned
away from me? Uh so? No, because the uh yeah, she's
not flat footed? Unfortunately, right now I am flat footed. You are
currently flat footed because you are prone. She is frightened. She's frightened.
Well, actually no, the frightened is gone now and the flat footed is
gone now. I will I can spend the turn to stand up from flat
footed and prone? Yes, absolutely, it is a major action. Yeah,
one action, one action, all right, and I will do that.
Oh sorry, still wounded? If you were to stand either one space
down or one spaced here, right, it would make the nyad flat footed.
Oh really, yes, it has to be opposite of an enemy,
basically sandwich it. Yeah. Then I will make the nyad flat footed by
moving to my side from my second section and from a third action I will
take. I will take a little, a little, I will have a
little, just a just a tiny little. She's the one six that could
have wait so many directions disappointed a little that's four little you will you will
hear that she is currently frightened, and she will hear behind her. It's
the sound of like like a like an animal drinking from like a little fountain
or something. A little ball. There's a ball on the inside of the
of the jar and it's like a hamster. Okay, uh, that is
it's to your turn, okay for labis. Oh boy, all right,
I think it is time for a week focused beauty on the three of you.
I think we're gonna do focused beauty on the three of you, all
three actions going to try and focus her beauty. She turns towards all of
you in this grand majesty, and you can see this beautiful figure almost magnified
by magic. You see the most beautiful creature that you've ever seen. Focus
on you and each of you. I need a will save from karun malvic
and arsilias a concentrate, manipulate or move action by any chance. Good question.
This is emotion, enchantment, incapacitation and mental primal and visual. Okay,
thank you? So it is emotion. Yes, I receive a circumstance
bonus because I am so sad all the time. I will rear all Okay,
and if I succeed with the success, it is a critical success instead
a critical. So it's nothing. There's nothing she can do to harm my
spirit. I am doing more to harm it than anyone else. However,
are Celia? You are still stunned by this creature's beauty. One that is
unfortunately not a success. Uh it's not a critial. Sorry, just double
checking? Yeah uh yeah, or see that that is it? Fail?
Okay? Uh? That is it for her? Turn a rash talk.
Why did you go back in? We're fucking crazy, rass shock. What
do you expect we have? What do you want me to do? Kill
it? I don't have anything. Let me see what's the real It's a
decent range. Just imagine a rash Talk like taking out like the spell book
and like licking his finger and turning the pages. Oh that won't work.
No, no, that's me Like I do not even have a spell book.
I'm just like, what can we do? Do? That's all my
spells. I cast ray of frost ad Meanwhile, obvious, this horrific mushroom
leshi, this fungal leshi is like it's it's horrific, little little teeth,
just food. I write frost, which is one hundred and twenty foot range
Johnstone for Labus. That's a twenty eight hit. Okay, twenty eight to
hit m Do you say that, Misses, I'm quitting. Yeah, say
I know that is a hit. Yes, that's eight cold damage. You
see the ice begin to spread, freezing some of the water around Fallabis and
I did something, says the hand on the door handle. Oh yes,
it's it's right there. For my final action, we determined this was this
is the front of the temple. Yes, I opened the door. Okay,
I'm ready to shut it, but I want to see. Oh yep,
that's what I was worried about. You see a drowger outside the door
of rash Talk hmmm, hello, dang, that's it for your turn,
yep, and now we get to add the dragger to the fight. Thank
you, A rash talk, No nice. Let's see here, I will
put them. I'll leave them on zero for you. How's that? Okay?
Uh, that's it for a Rostock's turn. Ah rauh, it's your
turn. I'm looking to my right and I see that this fist creature is
still there, so I gather my skirts and I fucking bolt up to this
wall here using an action. Now, since my curse has been elevated to
moderate due to life linking to Karoun and to our Syria, it's time to
fucking heal myself. So I'm going to go ahead and I will summon forth
a golden energy in my hands, and for two actions, I will be
casting on myself. So that will be eighteen plus another sixteen. Yes,
why do you get sixteen? Because it's a two actions so that I get
to the bonus sixteen because it's eight per level. I'm casting a second level
heel per level. Oh okay, I got it all right. So that
will be a total of thirty four points of healing, and that will be
my turn. Oki dokim fist of Rogedon is about ten feet down in the
water, but it's sixty foot swim speed, so it will burst forth from
the water over here, sish, and we'll move behind Darcilia. Actually let
me roll for that. Maybe it goes the other way. Let's see see.
Odd will be karoon, even will be Arcilia Arsilia. It is okay.
The fist of Ragadon appears in the spray of water behind you, Artelia.
It will then make you flat footed as it will try to hit you
with a wave attack. That is a twenty eight to hit. That will
hit for thirteen bludgeoning damage. The wave that crashes down. As I hear
the water cup behind me, I will raise my ambulet and reduce the damage
by seven, okay, and I will be taking five for you. Okay,
so only takes two damage. It will also so pull you back five
feet inside the actual fist of Ragdon. The water sort of has this riptide
effect, pulling you out of the fountain, away from from the Naiad Queen,
and then it will try and smash you down again with its final action
nineteen to hit. That will be a miss because I'm no longer fat footed
catch yourself, probably on the edge of the fountain. You're inside the water
of this creature and you are holding your breath. Okay, Drowger, thank
you so much for introducing more enemies into the fight. Arash talk. Mmmm,
guys weren't struggling enough. Uh. The Drowger will move forward and we'll
trying to hit you. We're gonna say that you're right here a roschuck as
you've opened the door. Ah. Yes, I couldn't see where the good
hearth. Thank you. Actually it would probably be Yeah, I guess.
I guess there's the that's a little awkward, but I know what you mean.
Okay, the Drowger, we'll attack you, so chat. If you're
not worried, you should be. This is the hardest fight that they've had
so far by far. Wait, including the cabinet that sex with the fair
point. Yeah, because you could run away from the cabinet easily. I'm
running away. Great acts set of your way twenty HiT's not a quit,
thankfully for seven slashing damage. That's what I think over this way. Uh,
and its last action because it did move, will be another great axe
attack That is a miss sixteen. The first time something has actually missed a
rash talk. Uh. It definitely would have hit you a rash talk,
but it like catches like on part of the door, and like the wood
of the drift wood of the door sort of collapses under the the attack here.
And then a second drauger enters the picture. It moves forward and we'll
try to strike at you a rash talk quit here it is yep. Oh
oh that's probably minimum damage. Minimum damage, yep, I'll take it.
Ten slashing damage heads your way. Uh. And a second grain axe attack
that is a misign Holy cower rush talk somehow walking out and you're not dying.
Wow, okay, super lucky. That is very good. I thought
for sure you were gonna get just knock the fuck out. Uh too.
Okay, Uh, that isn't for the driver or Celia. It is your
turn. I would like to move here, okay, burst forth from the
water of this being waterfall the fist of ragedon. As I stumbled out,
I catched my breath. One action left, I swing my Oh actually we
goofed a little bit. K Is Karun is still stunned as well, So
you only had two actions that last time. But it's okay that was my
fault. Wait, Karon is stunned. Yeah, oh that scret Oh different
thing. This is from previous sessions. She was she had left over stunned.
That's why the icons still there. Would it have cleared when Karun went
down? Good question. I'm not sure that's a that's a pathfinder person question.
I'm not sure it's done clear if you're knocked out. I feel like
because the sun like replay wise was because of the stunning beauty. Right then
Karen got knocked out anyway and then critically succeeded against it with the Dagger of
Venom. Okay, uh did you did you have the dagger out before?
No? Was it? Was it stowed or was it like on your belt?
Hum? It was, I had my morning Star out earlier. With
switching things cost something that's a good ques. I feel like it. I
think it does in this game. It's not in my backpack if it was
sort of access to it. But if you had a shield out, I
know, I know you could do the drop weapon pull one out if it's
equipped, but that's d n D interact draw an item. We do have
a confirmation the stun condition ends when they are knocked out. At least some
chat beautiful. Okay, so yeah, we don't have to worry about that.
Then from my final action, then I will draw the dagger and have
it in my hand so I don't make an attack. Okay, that is
my turn. Okay, Malvic, it is your turn. In frustration of
seeing everything go down, I will continue to whack at this fountain twenty one
twenty one for twenty slashing damage. You destroy the figurehead this sculpture of Ragdon.
Yeah, as this sculpture is destroyed, you see ripples cascade through all
the water around you, and the fist of Raganan dissipates. It will turn
towards her with a smile of eternal hunger, and I will grab her blight
a throat. You are still charmed from her. I am not charmed.
I had a twenty nine. This is not from the beauty. I mean
you got charmed from the last. Yes, she has not performed, She
has not performed a hostile action towards you. Oh, it stays on even
if I'm underwater. Okay, then I will still look at her with hungry
eyes. This time, I forgam Yeah, a different type of home must
act friendly towards her, and then what I will do is I will instead
grab Karun by the throat because I am raging hi. And all I know
is it is limp like a cat. And I will when I grab a
and I will maintain a grasp. That's all the athletics check. Nineteen against
your DC. Okay, what is your athletics modifier, Karen. My athletics
modifier, that's funny is zero? Okay, so he has to beat a
ten. He does with the nineteen easily. Yep. You are currently grabbed,
all right? Sign with this. Then I will move Karun back.
Let's see, that was my second action. I have two more. I
move room back ten feet. Uh you can move her five feet? Or
are you going to use multiple actions to do this? Yep? Okay,
yep, oh, excuse me. I would be over here, she would
be over there. I would hold her against like the walled area. So
if you can move her one, I think you yeah, ok, Karun
pinned against the wall like that one meme of the tall girl and the short
girl. Now you know what I'm thinking. There you go all right?
Uh, Now, everybody's got to deal with that mental image. Karun.
It's your turn. Else I don't. I think Karun is going to use
this turn to blush actually a whole tone. What does I can do?
Having been tinned against the wall, so escape? No, Karon will spend
all three actions blushing. Maybe the last action will say Hi, you get
that like that one anime? Uh, like you know, the the like
four lines that do that. They have that like cross special anime. That's
the one that's the blush one. Okay. Uh for Labis looking around at
the devastation that you have done to her fountains, there's this like guttural how
damn? Oh yeah, and my temple, the water Lord's temple I will
make use of and uh she will mm hmm. Any gms use that that
is too much work. I'm not getting that. Uh well, it's just
like it's whatever it is good. It's like when it's like when people play
druids, the gems are just like fuck you know, it's one of those
just it's like, okay, where's all my ship, let me get let
me find the drawer, let me It's one of those. Um, I'm
not doing that. Uh So I think what's gonna happen here then, is
we're gonna have if it helps. As soon as the water elemental is dismissed,
our Celia will say, looks like your lord has abandoned you. Now,
yeah, it doesn't help. Okay, uh oh yeah, fuck,
Felabus was hasted too. Oh my god, I found the blush emote.
Have one here. Sorry. I have to do this because I need you
to understand the exact symbol that I'm talking about. Okay, it's just oh,
it's not gonna show up. Zoom in so chat can see how insane
I am. Here you go, all right. Umm, she's actually still
hasted as well. I forgot about that. Oh no, we didn't cast
haste because it was too much. She will haste herself right now. We'll
do that haste on Fulabis, and then she will use an aqueous fist for
her final action. He's down at the bottom. Yes, yes, it
is there. We go. Okay, aqueous fist headed your way. Are
Celia twenty five to hit? That's a hit or fifteen bludgeoning damage? I
I used to my amulet, didn't I It's once a turn, right,
No, it's a reaction. It's once it refreshes when I have my next
turn. So I'll take fifteen pludgeoning damage here. Okay, sh this uh
more localized gout of water forms into a fist and it just slugs you right
in the in the chin there or celia, Um, okay, that is
it for fole ABIs rostock. The exit is blocked. A nobody else was
concerned about the exit. Everybody turns the exit, demitas. I turned into
a giant beetle. All right, of course you do gm searching for the
fucking for the I posted the text I have a beetle. I will choose
for you a giant stag beetle. Yes good. Is it a large creature
or is it a medium? It is medium? Time yes, so a
rash talk? What does it look like? As you transform? My robe
begins to harden and turn into a carapace and stretch over me. As I
begin to hunch over, extra limbs crawl out, first scaled and clawed,
and then begin to form and mesh into carapas as well. Horn spurt out
of my head. My eye slits become more kaleidoscoped, and just these mandibles,
somehow still able to pronounce words, begin to click and clack and bite
and snap towards the drug. Let me see there's an actual giant stag beetle
creature. But that is I think technically what I am. Well, it
says you would vision a simple bug and transform into a medium animal battle further,
so it's a battle version of it. Yes, I don't have a
regular beetle. Do you have the stats and things that you I do?
Yes, it's in the list. Okay, alrighty, I'm you worry about
that. Let you worry about that shit, and I'll give you control just
in case you want to do something with that. Okay, there you go.
Okay, I'm gonna put me just right behind so I can see the
two of them for visions. You don't have to mess with that. Okay,
that's two actions. For my next action, I will attack. However,
as I am attacking, my mandibles lash out. He said that was
a stag beto. Yes, okay, good. Even though it's not a
bite attack, that's basically what it would be in the equivalent here. And
my mandibles grow larger and larger as I tap into my deviant trait for my
melee attack. That's two action. I don't do that. I see that
says two actions there. I thought that was an augment to an attack.
So my mistake. I just do a normal attack. You can tell what
I'll do next turn. And let's see that. Yes, attack modifiers plus
thirteenth team. Yes, twenty forty hit. That'll be the drugger to the
north. Okay, I don't think that is a crit, but let me
double check. Hm, not a crit. Uh. And this is what
kind of damage this is? I believe bludgeoning Okay, I mean see beetle
y bludgeon harah oki doki. Oh. And I forgot to make they do
the vomit thing on you as well, uh, which would have been like
four times, but I'll just make you do one check, do a vomb
check for me. That will be sorry. That is a their grotesque gift
of fortitude save twenty seven Yep, that's all good, all right. I
roll for damage if I hit, Yes, you did hit, Yes,
twenty four fifteen damage. Very nice, Okay, I've ahead that that would
be terrifying coming out of a giant bug. Ye yara, it is your
turn. Well, that's something as the wounds from a Celia as she gets
hit, I end up taking some of that damage and thus some of the
life force comes pouring out of me. However, it comes back in because
I have a rash Talk's life boost on me for six points of healing.
From there, I'm going to go ahead and say fuck this. I'm done
being nice and I'm going to go ahead and wait. My hand over the
rape here, and four needles will appear above my hands, levitating as I
cast needle darts towards this bitch for twenty one, which I assume does not
hit twenty one I believe is not a hit. That is correct. Yes,
Then I ad Queen swirls water up from the fountain and it's just almost
like an like entropy. The needles are sort of slowed and they just kind
of like float in the water before they return back to you. Mmm.
I let out a low growl, and I rushed towards Karun so that I
might assist them next turn, and that is my turn. Yep, Okay,
a drow girl will now attack the I need a good beetle name for
a rash Talk. I was just gonna name one of the beatles, but
Ringo. Let's just call him Ringo. Okay. The drouger will try and
strike with great acts towards you twenty eight to hit your beatles hit, but
not a grit. Okay, that is good, and I also need a
fortitude save twenty three. That's good. You take six slashing damage as this
creature strikes your hard carapace. Next attack, I think it's gonna try and
intimidate you. Not great at that, never mind, it's too stupid.
Uh. It will just try and hit you with a fucking great axe.
Twenty four to hit. That is another hit, okay, Another strike hitting
your carapis finding a purchase on the seams and your carapis sliding along. Okay.
And a third strike that's a three. This time it just can't seem
to strike you. The one down south will now try and attack you.
I think you're supposed to do will saves on each one of these, right,
let me just their foot saves on every hit or every attack. That's
wild Drawger's attacks spatter their targets with rancid flesh and rotting seaweed. It's each
time your hit. So I need one more four to two save twenty eight.
Okay, all good, And then this one down south will try and
attack you. First grade action is a miss. Twenty two is a miss.
That is the most defense that a Rashtak has ever had. Second strike
seven is another miss, and for a third strike is another miss. And
a Rashtak I think you just kind of tank your way through these hits,
giving them bad leverage on you as they strike hitting the caracas. I mean
you can feel it. It still hurts, but it's not enough to cause
any serious injury or Celia. It's your turn, very good. I will
to my first action stop twenty eight. Twenty eight is a hit. Okay,
this is not a critical, so the special additional damage does not go
off. Okay. I sink the dagger into her side and rip it out
taste, giving me extra armor like it does in D and D. Is
there more? No? Is just an extra action to move? Yeah,
okay, sorry, start for cutting off? What'd you say? No,
you're good. I stab, I pull out some blood everywhere, and then
for my second and final action, I will try to throw my arm around
her throughout and crapple her. Okay, give it a shot. Umm,
I'm going to use my last tier point to reel twelve. Unfortunately not enough.
Try to grab her, but she's too moist. I grab onto.
Sorry, aren't we? I mean, how many of us are stopping.
Let all of you actually, okay, that is it for your turn ours
at Malvic. You currently have Perune grabbed by the neck, pinned against the
wall. I'd see do not move against her, and then I'll look towards
Yarah and uh if your is paying attention to my eyes are not seeming with
the life that they seem to be as normal, the kind of glassed over
and more animalistic than normal. And I will then reach form my belt and
pull out the hatchet, and I will look at her as I do not
move against her. Someone action to pull out the hatchet and an intimidation jack,
I think yes, it is an automatic success. Karun is lashing now
check is for ya. I have you grasp hmm a natural one on that
I will assist. I'm trained in intimidation and will assist however I can.
I will blush intimidatingly, turns towards yr like not working, like you are
not yourself, and I'll try to fight back. So that's two actions.
I still have two more. Let me just double check, because I think
you can. I get to see the charm, because if you, I
think you can make a roll for the charm. Uh, it's not a
repeating thing that you can try to break. Is that like a an action?
We have to we have to remove it. Yes, but I'm not
sure if if it's like a sustain a spell or anything like that, that
it may us lasts an hour. Wow, he has to be attacked by
it. Otherwise that's it. I do see. There could be some GM
interpretation here, though. It says must attempt to will say yes with a
plus four circumstances if you or your allies were recently threatened it or used a
hostile action against it, meaning this is the reverse. I will he has
attacked us. I will allow you to make a will save here, malv
because everybody else has been attacked, so I think it's fair. Okay,
well just for flavor attacks. Since you are said that, then I will
try to fight back the airs. I will safe. Holy shit, it's
rolling like fucking crazy. I think that is a success. Let me double
check she has a ridiculous spell DC. Yes, that is a success.
You break free of the charm, I will let go of. If it
doesn't take an action, I will let go of. Kron. Okay,
you did your last top up right from the life boost. Yeah, no
not, I'll do it now. Okay, so I have two more actions
available, so I will since I have the hatchet in hand, I will
like get wide eyed and look at Yarn and look at my hands, and
then I will toss the hatchet sideways towards Philabus. Yeah, this will be
your last action, I think, yes, well strike a move if he
has only I have two more actions. Okay, okay, this is regular
rage twenty one. That is a miss. Throw the hatchet for Labis kind
of like looks towards you a bit surprised, and then I will, while
running, I will catch the hatchet on return and position myself behind her.
Okay, that's turn. Wonderful, melvic art to control me jump into so
cool. He's only cool, isn't he? I love this? This is
great. Yeah, okay, it's flat footed all right, Karn, it's
your turn, all right, and I will I think I am. I'm
still a little confused that what has happened, but I will load the short
bow, take an action to load it. Sorry, the hens crossbow,
and Joanna, I will I will Joanna gently and say this all right.
There's been a lot of excitement, but soon there will be more and I
aim the crossbow and then fire at the de niad here WHOA thirty is a
regular hit, but that's max damage on Joanna, that's six. Holy shit.
You see the arrow sail past some of the water defenses that are like
tried to be brought up to defend against this bolt, but they're not quick
enough and the bolt sinks into Filabus's flesh. You are powerless in the face
of the mighty Joanna, submit to hell will Okay? Are you trying to
intimidate? Uh? No? Okay, year action, I know it.
I know she's intimidated. I don't have to try. Okay, you still
have two actions. I would like to I'd like to schlorep down another little,
have another little lit another little okay, h to HP Alright, it's
right. I will load the crossbow and that is my turn. Okay for
Labis, uh will move with a step uh here since her fountain has been
looted. M what would she do? Senior Heel doesn't like yar very much,
doesn't like uh or Celia very much. Roll for it when you go
after Yarra Okay, Uh, So she's gonna use that first action then and
we'll go here. If you have any attack of opportunity bullshit, I don't
know, Oh I do, I do? I do? I do I
do? Reaction though, yes, it will excellent. Yes, I did
forget to mention. I remember having a successful exploit vulnerability, so my mortal
weakness would be applied to it instead of the personal antithesis, so that I
think eleven damage that I did, there would be an additional two empowered plus
the cold iron weakness. So whatever number of cold iron, Okay, you
still have to hit with an attack or if you're doing it right. Yeah,
So that was the last attack that I did, the twenty eighth Oh
yeah, yeah, okay, this was before. Yeah, so it's a
little extra damage there, but I will now use my Just to be clear,
Yes, there was a much bigger reaction when you hit her with this
cold iron weapon. This was a This wasn't the normal strike. Did you
here so question? Yeah, because you did switch weapons to the dagger,
evenom does it transition to a new weapon. Yes. The only difference is
that I have to have one hand free and so it has my shield.
I can't use two handed weapons, so whatever I'm using it becomes my implement
gotcha, Okay, very cool. So then striking her with the dagger of
venom was significantly more violent. You would have seen her flesh the like it
has that sort of same color to as the water, that sort of bluish
sort of tinge, and there was a you can see that the flesh around
the area where you stabbed her was significantly damaged. It actually flaked and cracked
away, and there was a much much more significant wound. Excellent, So
that would have been a total of eleven plus the two plus the cold iron,
whatever the number is. But here I will use my reaction for implements
interruption. I basically get an attack of opportunity. This will use up my
reaction and I make a free attack. I will use the dagger venom again.
That's say twenty. That is a mess. Unfortunately. Okay, you
try to strike her, but she's moving very gracefully. All of her movements
are very graceful, like a dancer. She's twirling about the battlefield. Here,
as she moves, she positions herself to strike towards you. You are
a water sort of trailing behind her, like almost like a wedding dress,
you know, a cascading and it dances along the icy surface as she approaches,
and as she does, the water around her begins to form into an
aqueous fist, and she will try to strike at you. Nineteen to hit
does not hit, darling ice. Okay, this first attack is not enough.
You're as you spin to see the niad queen coming at you. Quickly,
you manage to bring up your weapon and sort of splash this this oqueous
fist away, and a second attack. She is hasted, She's moved,
and she's attacked once. This is a second attack. Sixteen to hit is
another miss with this, which is insane. I'll take it, thank you.
Yep, that is a miss too, missus in a row crazy okay.
And third aqueous fists an eighteen is a mess. Now it gets harder
each time, but still that's crazy which just happened. Each of these fists
are kind of parried away almost just on instinct. You are, you're batting
them away as the water splashes you. It's still like it still feels like
really hard rain sort of like hitting you in the face, you know,
when the rain kind of like goes sideways in a bad storm, and it's
just it kind of stings a little bit. It still has that sort of
feel to it. But this is a miss. My makeup's waterproof, bitch,
I don't need makeup. It's not about meeting it. Sing it.
What's wrong with you? Don't as a girl's girl? So Kathy Joanna not
like you? And that what a pickmy I'm trying to think of it.
It's your turn, ringo, yes, yes, now we attempt this.
My bones, what little I had left of them in this form, begin
to harden, flex and grow in these mandibles, stressing out and getting ready
for this incredible titan swing. I know I need to make a backlash roll,
but I believe I can do that after the attack regardless, and so
I shall. Uh it's a flat D twenty ah, yes, I'll do
that first. I think that's a make it break it. I needed a
five. Uh? I want to Yeah, it starts to five. It
starts with it starts a five, yes, and then I attack all twenty
one. That is a hit. If you notice with this extra attack,
it not only does it push them, but it adds a die of attack
damage. That's a three D ten. You strike at this drowger, the
same one and you said it does a push attack, it pushes back five.
Okay, it gets a pushed back. Yeah, some of this rotten
featied flesh falls off of the creature. It's still up. I shut the
door with my mandible for the final action. Okay, close the doors.
There we are alrighty fantastic. Such an a rush tack move. Just like
but imagining a rash talk in ringo form, closing the door is the best
part. He's like, fuck you close the door, Yara. It's your
turn question And I feel like I should know this, and I was looking
it up, but I couldn't find it. Casting me a spell that has
a range? Do we get penalties if we're in melee technicals? Only if
there's an attack roll. Only if there's an attack role? And then what
is the penalty for that? It's a I believe it's a circumminance penalty too.
That's usually what they are minus two. All right, thank you,
will I suppose I shall take this opportunity. I will look at Karun Karun,
get the fuck out of here, and I'm going to go ahead and
use a turn to step back and stride over towards Oscilia. So that is
one action and for my next two actions, I am throwing those needle darts
yet again at this bitch for a twenty nine to hit. That is a
hit. That's thirteen with cold iron on them. With each pinprick. The
Naiad Queen's scream is in pain and you can see a flesh flaking, cracking
and breaking away. Oh you actually could use makeup. That's my turn.
Does that count as a demoralize? Uh? Okay? The drowger two stupid
open doors. That's that's right, Yes, they open the door. Damn
it. Oh I was also healed and that's the last bit of healing from
a rash talk. Sorry about that. The drugger are indead, right they
are? Can we get a thumb check? Do they have thumbs? How
do they run it off? The thumbs rotten off? Can we get a
check? Sorry? It would have been this door? Okay, this one
rushes over. It's gonna use a turn of move and open the door as
another turn, and last turn will be to try to strike at ringo.
Ha I liked ross tonk Familier that that one is secret. Yes, Rollo
twenty two bludgeoning damage still up just bally. Oh, I'm so sorry.
I rolled the wrong thing. That is not the right you did. Oh
god, it's okay. Sorry not taking that damage yet, Thank you,
sorry that that was her attack the queen. Okay, great acts, here
we go it secret if you do look at that, Oh god, that
will be eighteen slashing damage still slightly better, but outs. That is it
for that Drauger's turn. The other one will open the door for one action
in front of it, move forward for another action, and attack with its
great acts for its last action. I cannot believe that should just happen.
That is a myth twenty one. It brings the great acts down. You
are able to bring your manibles up to deflect the attack this time a rashtak.
I do need a fortitude saved from you though, from the other one.
Eight yeah, that's that's good enough. You're all set, ar Celia.
It's your turn, all right, five ten fifteen, twenty twenty five.
I will stride over into the corner with my first action. My second
action, I will twenty five with the dag gonna be closed. That is
a miss, all right, that's my turn. Water erupts from the ground
around the feet of Phillabis. I will end all of you and splashes and
blocks the dagger strike just sort of sends your arm away from the from her
body. Malavik, that's your turn. I'll stand up in this oily water
and turn my attention towards her. It's just eyes bloodshot red, and I
willn't run over it with sudden charge strike at her from behind while she is
flat footed. Okay, No, thirty one thirty one is a regular h
oh, even with five a damsel off twenty three damage. And then how
do you kill her? Well? I will piss through her backside with piercing
dama, or run the great sword through her, and then I will grab
her shoulder or actually her hair and behind and pull her towards the sword towards
me to where I can be in her hear be like touch my family again.
I'll see you in the after life. Then I will crack her neck
and drop her to the ground. Yeah can you and reaches up and pulls
her hair. It's a bit hard it is for me to stay in character.
Goddamn, uh are no longer stun Yeah? Okay, Malvic? Is
that it for your turn? No? That was only two actions? I
have two more. Where is I look? Around and then I will use
my movement. I'll use uh, I have two actions, so I will
dash. Yeah, that would be for me. I need to know where
you go. Sorry, you just show me your path so you can left
the click to grab your token and hold it. Left click and hold and
then right click for your steps that you were taking. Keep in mind the
walls. Okay, you're right, they give me once again. Yeah,
yeah, yeah there, okay, thank you. Well, shock, you
don't see a rash stock. You just see this large beetles. I'm screaming
out. I don't know where they are here. Don't say anything. I
don't know what the hell's going on at this point. I just see duh
in a big ass stag beetle. Yeah, that's sitting in my tide.
Okay, karun And it's still just uh yes, all right, what else
is here? Looking around? For the first time in a long time,
karoon, will is uh am? I still wounded having healed so much?
Uh yeah, you are still wounded. All right. We'll get me to
that out of battle, got it, all right. I will move thirty
feet towards the sound of the dying lizard. I need to figure out how
to measure that this is twenty five and this is thirty. If you want
to go there, I'll go to there. That is where I will go,
all right, And the distance between here and the lizard is eighty feet.
This is feasible for the crossbow. Yes, yes, we uh,
well we established We've determined a few things. First, you can huck a
potion ridiculously far. You take a small you take a two circumstance penalty.
Uh to uh brett farve the fucking thing one hundred up to one hundred feet.
Or you can fire your hand crossbow, which will essentially suffer the same
penalty. All right, Actually does it have a max? What is the
max? Yes, it's so you can go. I believe it was six
times for increments, so it would be an extra one hundred and twenty feet.
I think on top of it's five or six times. Yeah, you're
gonna suffer a penalty with the hand crossbow, but you can still try.
So I can chuck a potion yep, without the penalty. Both will give
you a penalty because your past, your your past your range on both.
All right, well, then then still have dread. Is that what works
with the Drugger I can't quite remember. Yes, I believe a fire won't
too. Didn't it? I feel like fire didn't work like at all?
Okay, I know you. I have six of them. Still they you
found out that they are they are resistant to fire. Yeah, all right,
Well I will chuck my last dread ampuel just as far as I can
into the just the center of these enemies here. Okay, uh, okay,
so that will be a twenty two hit. Which one are you aiming
at? The one closest to rush talk? Okay, they're both close to
a rush talk in the same distance. Oh, then right in the center,
this one, the one, the one at the top of the okay,
the one on the nest. Okay, that is a hit. You
actually hit it with this, Wow, mega hail Mary dread Ampu'll throw or
even take a couple of steps back and take another step, and it's got
some spin on it. Yeah, there's a spiral, crazy little trails of
okay. Uh. And that is for five mental damage. It's absorbed into
the orifices of these this drawger. The other one takes splash and splash damage.
Instead of one splash damage, there's four splash damage. Because of the
I have to check in see because I don't. I don't know if you
get the splash damage. I think you have to choose, like if you
hit it or if you do the AoE when you make the attack roll.
Uh, there's some bullshit about the splash damage. It's like you don't I
don't think you get it automatically in anybody, any of the our pathfinder people
in chat. Let me know on that, because that's one of those rules
written. This one is how it is written, right, But I don't
know if the splash actually happens. If you're a hit nerds, Nerds,
where are you? Okay? Yep? Yes, very nice, very cool.
Good. I think you can always make the choice though, if you
want the splash damage to go off or not, is what it is,
right. Yeah. So the other one also suffers some splash damage okay,
very nice, and it is for splash damage, not one because of the
intelligence modifier. Okay, thank you so much, Thank you nerds. And
that is my turn. Okay for labis is. Oh, I would take
a story from my last section. I will take a cover behind the tailor.
Okay, yeah, I think you still had enough? Ye okay,
good ringo talk. Yes, I would like to attack this one at the
top. I'm gonna do the same. No not, I'm just gonna do
a regular attack twenty seven. That is a crit m give me some damage.
Twenty eight damage. How do you kill it? It's one of those
stag beetles, you know when they lock horns. I know hercules beetles do
it too, they lock. It's a I snap my mandibles around it and
just throw it to the side, up against the wall, trying to break
its spine. Absolutely. It crashes against the driftwood nearby with a large crack
as you send it flying A rash talk no okay. Then when it falls
to the ground, you see this strange ethereal shape emanate from the creature and
it rushes towards you. I need a will say please, yes, that's
in eighteen. But if that fails, I'll reroll it. I think that
is a fail, so yes, I will reroll it, okay A twenty
three twenty three A rashtak you sense this presence trying to curse you with a
sea Mariner's curse that you saw take place previously against Jara. Summoning up your
magics inside, you were able to fortify yourself against this and push this curse
away from you. Looking down at my wounds and my hydraulic fluids of the
insectoid form leaking, I flee the other way, okay. Ten twenty five
for the first action I think was that right? Oh no, that's the
wrong, wrong version of me to be this one. Okay, you should
have control over that as well. Yes, yes, I just grabbed the
wrong one, just making sure twenty five perfect. I moved directly behind Malvic.
This is just for my vision. Ah, that took out one of
them is for you, Malevic. Hello, confused, beetle stories underneath your
legs, like it just rushes, like underneath it's very large, like it's
definitely great bad. I'm not Malevik. It is not like insects. Okay,
we can de fire you. Only one left, Yarrah, it's your
turn. Oh wonderful, all right, So first and foremost, I will
go ahead and Nicky here, Yes, I will rush twenty five feet,
utilizing one of my actions to get near Karun Karon donning give me your injured
parts, and when she does give me her injured parts, I will go
ahead and I will treat wounds at an expert level utilizing my battle medicine with
a critical so twenty seven plus another two D eight. Uh so that's going
to be thirty one points of healing. Very nice, wonderful. All right,
is blushing again? Why are you blushing? Stop it? That's weird.
Rush into my face? Oh all right, fine, and I will
rush off and make my way to a rash talk and that is my turn.
Okay. Uh let's see here Drauger U will rush forward, and I
say rush, I mean we'll just barely get to in front of Malavic and
we'll try and strike a great act. Eighteen hit is a miss, Malvic,
you bring up your sword and deflect it away, or Celia, it's
your turn, all right. I'll move see twenty five feet for my first
action. That this is another twenty five feet here, okay, Then I'll
move here for my final action, I begin to run into a sprint,
jumping over the lowering water. Here. As I fall into position, that
is the end of my turn. Malavic, I had enough with this,
and I will come from an overhead swing down to the dogger. This will
be a regular rage attack as it is fire resistant twenty one. That is
a hit yea nineteen of its Then I will have the blade embedded and take
my hand and slap on the hilt so it goes down further. A second
strike sixteen that unfortunately is not enough. The creature, I think, uses
its own hand to like push the story out before you are able to further
damage it. Okay, and I have two more gos, so a will
to swing once again eighteen ahead. Oh, as it's bringing his hand up,
I will then use the momentum and swing the blade around the backside,
just missing a rash talk or be talk or whatever, and I'll go an
upward swing and reverse the direction to slice through it from the bottom up.
You strike this creature. It slumps, falls to the ground, and I
need a will save okay, twenty nine twenty nine is enough. Your rage
carries you through the magic that tries to assault you. With your pure fury
and your stubbornness sluffs offt this curse. As this creature sinks into the water
below. Attention to this beetle out of combat? Or are we malevic?
Wait? Wait we are? And as I swing down, my rage falls
because I believe that was our tenth round. It wasn't. Oh, then
I will come down and hit the ground before just by hearing Oursilia's voice.
Wait, waits Rell than lose rage, explain what is this? I cancel
my spell as I have my carapis kind of form back into my robe.
That's the thing. I have an arm for arm til I was to help
them up. H I sit down, very bloody, oh stock Dunning.
Can can you all please just make sure the area is clear and safe?
Fine? I will walk around and check the area where we were at the
fountain to make sure nothing's resurrecting or doing any foul play, and make my
way towards the corpse of Philabus and look on to her and check her over.
Sure. Okay, sorry, I accidentally closed the document. I had
all the cool info in it, so give me a second open the backup.
But you begin to take a look around and see what's going on.
I think as you look towards the fountain, you can see that oil has
sort of like spread and like really like darkened the water, and it's just
kind of all murky and and and absolutely desecrated. I guess we can say
been desecrated this fountain to ragadon the water lord. And you begin to look
over this Naiad queen full Labis. This creature looks as if it has been
in the water and like drowned, you know, like it has that sort
of bloating already towards her. She's no longer this the most beautiful creature that
you've ever seen. She's a dead body that has been It looks as if
it has been drowned and bloated and off color. And there is no beauty
left in this creature. Just this sense of this mole meant nature kind of
made honestly. There will we'll check to see if there's anything of value on
her, and if there's not, I will pick the body up. The
armor that she was wearing is fairly intact. There is also a plate for
like offerings that is in front of the fountain that you noticed. It's been
a bit scattered, but there are various pearls and aquamarine emeralds that are around.
Okay, there is also make a perception check for me. I'll re
rode that because I have a few gates to do it. Where is it?
Twenty four? Okay, twenty four. There's also a some kind of
stick, a big stick that's kind of like leaning against the this this passage
down to the south. Mm hmm. Okay, I will pick her body
up, and as I do, I'll say you are a victim too,
mhm. And I will carry it over to everyone that will gently place her
down without any kind of anger, and place the items that I've found down
next to her, and I'll say she's a victim as well. As we
do know that the gods tind to promise us over promise us. You should
treat this body with care as we do everyone else. Rop a burial to
release this one spirit. This area seems to be a trap, longing of
spirits fighting. There's a way to try to escape the imprisonment of long lasting
duty. We give them a burial, the spirit goes to rest. I
feel like our job is not done until we do so well. Firstly,
let us worry about our living. And I'm going to make sure this entire
time I would be, you know, fist deep in a rash, talk's
wounds, trying to get everything stitched up, treating wounds at next but level.
I will re roll that using my hero point seventeen. Both fail oh
sixteen getting rulled two seventeen. Unfortunately, what happens when you fail here.
I think that the wounds were a little too wide. It's very strange because
Harastuk's coming from this other form, So these wounds have kind of they're sort
of scaled to what he was, and I'm trying to fix them. But
I'm gonna need a little bit more time for this. I think they're a
little too wide. Yeah, it's fine, we're out of danger. I
can meditate a bit. I think it's not fine. This flesh is rendered.
I'm gonna have to cut all of this in order to stitch it properly.
It keeps tearing. No, let me meditate. It will regrow on
its phone. I'll set up a fire. Perhaps can help you get a
little more comfortable. I would like to take a sample of the Naiad corpse
please, sure, Yeah, give me a cracking check Jueler, Okay,
yeah, you get some bloated Niad queen flesh. I know that my alchemical
reagents are drawn from my hair. Perhaps this Naiad corpse could be of use.
Yeah, definitely. So the way that I want to sort of handle
your reagents that you are required to use for your various components, like you
have your infused reagents that you can use or you can actually find verbs and
ship like that, and depending on depending on what garbage trash from the world,
yeah, random, random, the dumpster diving you you can find reagents,
you know, depending on how resourceful you are. I will categorize them
for you. So what you can do is you can add them as inventory
items based on what I'm going to essentially give you. So they will be
like a lesser reagent or like a minor reagent, and you can use that
to create any potion of that of that quality. Wonderful, thank you.
So this one is, this one will be Let me see what those levels
are. It's minor, the lesser, is that right? Uh? Yes,
I think so. I think lesser. It's the same thing as mine.
They're they're just different types. There's lesser, moderate, and then something
else that I don't know because I don't know any of those. Let's see
here. I don't think that's right. Sorry, I'm just trying to find
the right versions of these. I feel like it's the only thing I can
find when I'm not looking for it, and now I can. You're welcome.
So it's lesser, moderate, greater, and major. Okay, So
this will be a moderate you'd say moderate reagent, but one for that,
thank you. Okay. So Malvic has sort of brought back He's collected several
like pearls and away marine gems, bringing them back to you guys, as
well as the Naiad Queen's body. Did you did you also bring that stick
or did you leave that there? Yeah? I bought the stick, laid
everything next to the Naiad queen as I later down. Take a few minutes
to do all that mm that's found the rest of this stuff. M.
I'm leaning up against the wall, pulling out mosquito candles, which are the
opposite of what you think, and meditating as best I can, trying to
commune with the mosquito which I recollect myself. Yeah, it's it's super rough
here a rash talk. This is like the antithesis to your ideal environment.
I don't like it at all. I meant to try to make it a
little more hospitable. I spend the entire time essentially making a camp for us,
so it might help a little. Sure, Arcelia, why don't you
make a survival check for me? Very good? I retrieved my any tool
from the spingitt. Oh good, idea twenty okay, excellent, Yeah,
Orcilia, you've gathered up some of like the bones in like some of the
rancid flash that was you know, from these drowger and there's maggots and stuff
in there. It's great for that excellently is rather nice? Yes, thank
you? Could you make them buzz a little less loud? Since a raschak
does not want me to continue healing him, I will be taking a moment
to refocus in order to reduce my curse. I can't produce the buzzing.
Sorry, but you could step aside if you wish. I didn't say no
to healing in general. I just said give me a moment and I can
get the worse of them, right, you handle that. I'm going to
take a moment and then I will help you. Is this ten minutes?
Yes, my refocus is ten minutes. I'll take twenty if they give it,
but I'll at least do ten. Well, you probably could have refocused
as well during the situation where I was healing you, so we're at twenty
minutes. If we are refer I'll say no to that only because I have
to be focused if you're healing me and I'm trying to meditate. I don't
think that would work, okay, Okay, well that's going on. I'm
going to be trying to chop at this drift wood wall and there's bones inside
too, which trying to salvage as much wood so the walls wouldn't have bones
in them. Okay, yeah, maybe sort of set in like the ice,
primarily those steps and what not. Okay, Yeah, We're trying to
get as much wood as possible, and I'm going to lay it down next
I'll woke up to Karun and say, would you mind helping me? Yes?
Yes, of course I will help you, of course I will.
All right, like I'm building a coffin can float, you know, just
like you did earlier. Coffin coming up? How big you want that?
You want a big coffin, Little coffin, skinny coffin, big coffin?
What kind of coffin do you want? I can make it her body's eyes?
An I yet that one? Yes, we're going to give her a
proper burial to see. All right, but you have to touch her now,
do you know mine? Okay, make a crafting check. There you
go. Twenty seven Build you the best coffin care and spends an extra long
time here. It like sandpaper. There's like at the plane. Yeah,
there're especially little hinges she's been saving like this would this drift wood is terrible.
You know, it's like water logged and uh you know, uh there's
like bits that are super It's it's this weird combination of like super dry from
the cold but also kind of water logged wherever it was like making contact with
the ice. Yeah, awful to work with, but somehow Karen has made
it work. It's beautiful. Now, this is beautiful, and I'll pick
her up and lay her in. Well, before I do that, I'll
try to find is there anything It takes about an hour, by the way
to make that sure. Is there anything laying around that it can dampen or
not dampen, but like soften the insides or I know there's no flowers and
no like is there straw or anything of that nature or not? Really?
Okay, Well, the best we can with some of the woods. Yeah,
yeah, I try to. I'll mash the wood up as much as
possible and didn't lay her inside gently, and I'll look over to your in
the rostoc to see how they were doing in uh Arcilia and Nascarcia too.
Oh, she's at the fountain, and I would ask them if they can
give a word when everyone is together, can that be it? After my
companions are as comfortable as I can get them, I'll make my way over
towards the fountain, and I will try to salvage what pebbles and handfuls of
dust that I can off from the statue, essentially to put into my component
pouch, categorizing it as a dust of a defeated evil lord. Okay,
make a survival check so I can absolutely use this later survival It's seventeen okay,
not a lot. You get something from this, It's enough. Then
once I've gathered that, I'll return to my companions. Excellent. During the
time that they've all been building things and whatnot, I will go ahead and
I will utilize all of that time to go ahead and attempt to firstly heal
a rash talk and my wounds. See if I could stitch them together a
little bit better. So let's go ahead and do that first one. That
is a twenty eight So a rash talk, you were given twenty four points
of health back if we are uninterrupted, of course. And let's see here
and my wounded one is removed, and how is a rash talk looking?
Could he use a little bit more time? I definitely could. Yes,
you would see that the major wounds are closed, but there are still many
left, all right, And you said that it was about an hour that
it takes them to make this right. Yeah, all right, excellent,
So we're at thirty minutes. Okay, So firstly I'll attempt on a talk
again. Karun is busy, so I can't go ahead and heal her even
though she's wounded, and I'd like to not now you're I'm busy. Oh
that's fine. That's thirty two for healing a rash talk, which is a
critical so that's an additional two D eight. And if anybody else is free
and obviously it was healed with the first one because he's got he's he's got
enough HP to cover a regular beetle. I think I would try to encourage
since I can work on two people at the same time. I would encourage
as Celia as well, since she's not working on anything, so she would
have been healed as well. Yes, thank you, of course. Of
course, of course, as you finish tending to my wounds and wrapping me
in a fresh bandage. I put my hand on yours, Yara, thank
you. I we almost lost you there. I just wanted to know that
we would have done anything that we could just save you. I'll turn my
hand over it and I will grab hers and squeeze it. When everything went
dark, I knew that I was in good hands. So I squeeze your
hand and I pull you into a hug. I'm glad you're okay. I
am too, and I'll squeeze you all more. Brush us with death.
Yes, we're far away from home, let's hope not m hm. Yes,
yes, I will walk away blushing because I'm for health again. Tilt
my head like a confused puppy. Is everyone else all right? Can I
put my things away? Yeah? With scaroon? All right, I'll take
a little sip of whatever you're offering, a little bit of this, little
bit of that drugs. No, it's a lot of stabbing and accelerating my
healing, utilizing my magic. That sound good to you? You got a
nasty one right there? Yeah? Or all right? I want the sticker
afterwords. I don't have stickers, but you're going to feel great after this,
and you are healed for twenty five and your wounds are removed. Thanks,
but I will try and find stickers for you. It's totally for you.
Don't go telling everyone Korean just kicks a rock chucks all right? Are
we all will? Yes? Thank you for the warmth, Celia. What
is a pointed the stick that Malevik brought over? What is that? He'll
toss it in your way and start moving the coffin towards the door. Take
a look, and then I'll just start moving. I'll drag the coffin close
to this area over here, and so I'll help you carry that. Bye.
The stick? How big is it? Is? Like walking stick?
Whooo? But oh, maybe a staff is more accurate of a statement.
Maybe I can make an arconic check. I can, and I also have
detect magic, which I can just do as a cantrip first anyway, because
I just want to see if it's magic, like I assume it is.
Yes, it is, it's magic, all right, yes, check.
So I think that the detect magic registers the presence of magic, no information
beyond the presence. It is definitely magical. Yeah. To make an arconic
check, though, I will mmm. Seventeen, I mean that I think
I'm gonna rerull that, because that's just going to tell me it's magic.
Again. It's my assumption. I have a hero point. I haven't used
too many of them, so let's see if that gets better. Twenty three.
Yes, uh, you noticed a few things first and foremost. I'm
not sure timing wise all this worked out. But they were loading Filabus's body
into a coffin. Did you use your detect magic before she was sealed in
there? What we told of the armor that she had, because it was
fancy right as soon as I laid it down, I explained that the items
were there. Yes, yes, we had an hour in between buildings,
and we're also all loot goblins. There's no way we would leave everything in
there. Yes, that's this is why I'm asking. I thought, yeah,
I thought he'd put everything down so we would take the things. I
specifically said, I put all this stuff that he had on her down next
to the items next to her. The leather armor that she's wearing is also
magical. Hm. So maybe in this while I'm looking at the staff and
maybe the detect magic is still kind of like that that armor is magical too.
Either way, the staff is the staff of evocation. The armor is
a plus one glamored leather armor. I informed that armors that's glamored too.
That may be better than what most of you in light armor wearing. And
this staff is of evocation. Hmmm, do you mind if I use this
staff? I can give the old one to someone. It is a plus
It has some magical enhancements to it, but not much. The armor glamored
in this case is a rune hype, and this allows this armor to be
disguised with a mere thought, meaning you can change the shape and appearance of
this armor to appear as ordinary or fine clothes of your imagining. The statistics
on the armor don't change, and only a creature that is befitting benefiting from
true seeing or a similar effect can attempt to disbelieve this illusion. Hi,
I portray everyone. I have no use for that armor. But is your
staff something two handed? Yes? It is actually no, I'm sorry.
Usage this staff is held in one hand the staff of edication my plus one
staff, I believe is two though this staff of astification, this staff of
vocation can supply one casting of all listed levels of all listed spells, and
in this case that would be the cantrip Ray of Frost first level spell,
Magic missile Shock and Grasp second level acid arrow and glitter dust for free.
So it has a number of charges, Okay, there's a number of charges.
You spend a number of charges from the staff to cast a spell from
the list. How many charges do you get? That is the question.
I have to check on that. But it is item level six, so
that might be directly related to how many charges you get. So who wants
the armor? I do not have use for a glamorous armor. Thank you
for something heavier, because I love leather armor like wearing the skin of another
what you know, no the skin. I think what karoun means is that
leather is technically an animal hide right right? Yes, no, go for
it. I mean my armor has these fancy stunts. So a little bit
intective Shoanna yearns to be wrapped in the flesh of another. H I will
immediately change into the armor the glamorous armor vestiments befitting of her majesty Joanna certainly
and a rosch talk. You know, I might have a use for your
previous stuff, so perhaps I will lose it if you wish, Yes,
I am. I am happy to give me a moment to change over my
m and of course all the gems and things I have studded with it,
the worthless gems and strings. Does anybody want my leather armor that I had
before? No, all right, I would put it in the trash where
it belongs. Oh no, no, no, you can put it in
here. We can sell it later. No, I would put it in
the labis's armor. By the way, it's horrific smelling. That's fine,
fine, fine for me. Maybe put some oils on it to something.
Now, get you just have to wear it in when you are all ready,
we need to get together. There's no telling what's outside this door off
guessing that I would like to not go back to the hole everywhere before to
go out of this place. Then we have to prepare for what is the
what is to face us when we go back to the ship. We do
not know if those spirits will be genuine or not. Prepare for a trap
of some sort. We have not had the best of luck of people being
honest with us. Well for what it's worth, And I will pull the
parchment out of my chest and it will show the signed contract. At least
we are this. Yes, this is true. Is everyone ready? Hmm?
Are you done with the dang leaves? Rashoc? Done with the what?
Oh? The dangle? Yes? Yes? Here my shortest staff now
that is held with one hand, now has a bunch of branches. I've
twined around it. And that's just a normal plus one staff. Now,
which you do you want my previous one? You know what? It might
be a little too big for me. I need at least one hand for
you when we're working around. Ah, I see, I can always snap
it in half and make it smaller. Are you I think that may damage
the magics that have been imbarded upon it. Perhaps we stow it in the
bag of holding for now, Yes, that is my plan. Let me
know if you wish for it. You're going to make a suggestion to your
rashter. I believe that we do have plenty of shields inside this bags.
You probably would want to use one. Can you feel a little bit more
defense? Yes, my steel shield is still in there. If you would
like it. You have a free hand, now, do you not?
I do That's something I can I've never used the shield before. Yeah,
I can show you how to use it. You when you're about to be
attacked, you just hold your shield up hopeful the best. I think this
is a great idea to you very well, Yes, I suppose like my
good good all right, yes, and I pull out one of the shields
and kind of strap it to my wrists. Ok, I say you would
you like to do the honors of looking outside to see if anything is coming?
And I can jack the coffered with me or I can do. It's
up to you. No, I've got it, and I'll go up to
the door. I'll peek my head out and survey our surroundings. Sure you
see a bunch of ice flows and wooden planks and not much else. Nice,
it's quiet, cold, nothing else disturbing the snow. Good find a
body of water. Say all right and send her off. Did you investigate
down that way? Man? And I point down towards the tunnel. I
did not apologize. I was more and deep in thought about this. Ny
had something just that fills off. No, that is all right. We
can take a look now. Mm hmm, Okay, I will go look
as you are suggested. I'm assuming you mean down this way to the right
of the fountain us down there. No, no, no, So where
we are where we fought for lovis there is a tunnel? Yes, yes,
and I will go with you. Can I move this? Well?
There we go. Ah, Okay, I will have flashbacks. I will
look peak, I would stand on the corner and stealth my way, peak
across, look inside. Sure, give me a presumption, check and stealth
or excuse me in perceptions, perception, and I was going to guide you.
That's all right, crew, and the piers behind, and just see
anything interesting inside fantastic. You can see various crests, ornaments, and tokens,
scimitar, stylized snowflake, a burning sun, an angry eye, and
more hanging from the walls of this squat library. Bookcases are carved into the
walls, each shelf lined with moldering tones. Hmmm, a stand, it's
his route, cress, scimitars, kinds of symbolic meanings. Could be a
room of worship, could be a trap, could be a magical place.
And I do not have means to detect magic, and do not run in
rash talk. Eh. Looking at the staff still kind of pouring over it.
There may be some things of importance here. I am un sure,
and I'll peek my head in religious meanings. I just mumbling. And there
are books on the shelves. Yes, there are moldering tones upon the show.
There are books, books, books. You see me pop my head
around books? Did I could I make an ecologicism check or you can,
but you'd have to get closer. I will get closer, gently squeeze past
books. Okay, I am I'm just walking in, but I do have
detect magic out. I'm just kind of coat like spreading around. I was
gonna, yeah, I was gonna ask if someone could check to see if
there's any triggers. But that's why I called him. Yes, okay,
our Celia has done the normally it's a face check, right, and like
MMOs to like check something. I think it's just like a tits check.
Absolutely boobs. First, you you head first into the into the room here,
Suddenly nothing happens. You said there were crests right there. You said
one was a burning sun. Does it look familiar perhaps to our Cilia to
me for any drawings that perhaps she shown m You can start to investigate various
things in here, if that's what you'd like to do. This will be
magical. So there are things that are magical here. You see four things
that are magical here, shank, And while I'm doing that, just like,
wait before Celia touches anything, if I see all right? So,
uh, it looks like four of the books are magical. Eh, four
of these books are gleaming with magic? Then I point those four out.
Hm, yes, yeah, I'll sing with magic. I can attempt to
at least see I get. I can attempt to see what school it is,
though I may not know more than that. I believe I'm trying to
see if this plies have a recognized spell. But it's this creature that's related
to a creature casting, so it does not apply here. I think I
can do that with our kana if I focus and pair it with detect magic.
But that takes time regardless. There's a lot of shit here. If
you would like to investigate this area, you can and spend some time to
do that. Would you like to do that? Yes? Absolutely, okay,
And I believe that Karun was looking for arcade stuff. I'm not sure
what that was about. Yes, I just want to make sure nothing goes
unseen, okay, just checking to see if there is anything magical in this
room, sure traps or otherwise everyone that is sort of trying to figure out
anything that's usable here book wise or whatever. I will take some checks,
so depending on what your role will be, what you are investigating for in
this room. So I will take harkana. I will take any sort of
lore that is related to geography, not society. Society won't work here.
I think I will take occultism as well. I can do that and potentially
religion. All right, I'll cover the religion, then I'll cover the occultism.
To your that's so cute. Sorry, y'ah. And the lizards are
giggling to each other. How do you look at this? Oh? Yes,
look at that one. Uh, I just look over it, malevic,
Oh this old thing? Just uh you can make an arcana roll?
Uh, Karen, No, I did I do not see it before?
Yeah? Okay, so those are pretty decent roles. Okay, so here's
a few things. Uh we had uh Karun make the arcana check Karun,
you recognize what some of these spells are? Oh? Uh, you recognize
some of these tombs being a tone of briny, bolt lashing, rope h
and and rash talk. You recognize one of these books as Advanced Scurvy and
Yarra. This other book takes a little while to figure out what it is.
But after about an hour or so of trying to piece together what the
spell does, this is a phantom ship ritual. This is the spell that
is being used on the ghost pirate ship. Oh talk, Well this this
term here, it's for a ritual of sorts. Would I be able to
tell GM what sort of requirements or what sort of skills someone would need to
perform this mechanically? I'm looking for religion occultism. But would I be able
to figure out this is a ritual and will require multiple people? This will
be occultism cultism? All right, I think this might be something interesting for
you. Require four people excellent? And I know for rituals there are secondary
checks as well. Are the four people? Are the three other people the
ones that make the secondary check? Excellent? Okay, yes, my secondary
checks will be sailing lore and survival respective excellent. Well, you're a bit
more into the occult than I am. My only dabble, so this might
be of use to you. It's it's similar to the spell that was used
on their ship. Oh I wonder we could likely undo it with this.
If that is the case, maybe, well they wanted to go for one
last ride, did they not? Yes? Yes, I mean more,
we may be able to use it to counteract their curse. Hmm. This
would free them from the ice m The ship would essentially become incorporeal move through
the ice. M ah. Oh, so I misunderstood. Yes, this
will be wonderful. This will help us get out of here. Yes,
let's say it is is and then m this tome I have here. I
don't know if you could use it or not, but I actually have no
need of it. You are a it's advanced scurvy. I already know how
to make that contagion. Oh. We can always put these away and then
figure it out later in terms of everything, very right, and I put
it away. You can have this one and this one. I will handle
the lesson rope very careful. There you go. What are these though,
hm, ar Celia make a esoteric laurel mm hmm yeah yeah twenty two.
Okay, while they're sort of finding these books, a lot of these homes
are like obliterated as soon as you pick them up, just kind of from
mold and just age, and there's a little bit of information that you can
get. You assemble a few scholarly journals, and they are about the Lake
of Mysts and veils and the history, the geography, legends, locations and
inhabitants. HM. Very good. I will take notes and essentially try to
summarize these as I'm looking through them. The Burning Sun simple in particular,
does draw my interest. However, I am from the Burning Sun clan,
and I would be able to tell at a glance if it is the same
kind of symbol. It definitely was. But as you pick it up it
falls apart. Does it seem like this is a singular tome or does it
seem like perhaps they had a presence here, like it's like on the walls
or anything like that. I think what you would gather judging from what this
place is. These books have been collected various wrecks. Hmm. Does that
mean the Burning Sun sailed through here? I think that's a pretty good chance.
As the book falls apart in my hands, I stare at it for
a long, quiet moment. I pulled the machine. Remains of what the
breather is. Look of longing is on my face. It's been a long
while since I've seen something like this. But h oh, cilia, huh
h is that important and looks like mush um. It bore the symbol of
my people, the Burning Sun Clan. It's so strange to find evidence of
home so far away. I cannot do anything to that for that now.
But if you hold on to that and all of its pieces, hm,
the next time I'm able to commune and gain more spells from the mosquito,
which I may be able to do something for you. It could be a
while from now, but I could restore that to its working order another day.
Yeah, truly, yes, so again it would be some time before
I get blessed by the queen again. Good good, very good. This
would very likely our travel logs, my people they move throughout of Glorian with
their missions. This would tell me so much more about who came through here.
Retain it then, and I will fix it, But it will be
time. You must wait. I gather you into a sudden hug, squeeze
you, ah, yes, affection, Yes, all right, yes,
I will go about doing that trying to preserve it. Does any one mind
if a monitor eats thief and I hold the branny bolton lashing rope up.
No, not at all. Chew away a monitor? Good, good God,
Yes, and begin feeding the books. Yes, if Johanna we have
a monitor, I have now added both of those into my known spells.
So cute, but it sounds so disgusting, I whispered to Malvic. Mm
hmm. You don't understand what we keep those things around. It is a
great boon for rostoks. Not neither agreements. Now, if you are done
doing all your magical sorcery, I would like to get on with this.
Yes, shall we return to the the crew. I want to give a
word by the Sniet Queen before we do anything. Send on our way,
Oh we should. Yes, that will make my way towards the front door.
I will follow. I follow. I also follow very well. Booby,
you begin to leave the temple area. Where to now this body of
water does it lead over into a bigger body of water? Uh? I
mean these are all like ice flows. So this this is like one of
the bigger ice flows that you've seen. You know, when you are all
sort of traveling along the ice here, there's a few spots where you kind
of have to like make your way like around because like maybe the gap is
too large to jump to the next ice flow, so it's really it's really
up to you. I would say that there's a lot of tributaries and things
kind of here. It's not the greatest spot throw the coffin in. But
I believe this is as good as it gets. We lead it up to
whatever God's remain in the care of this woman or whatever she was before she
became what she was, and sent her on her way and left the river.
But the waterways guide her to the bigger ocean. If you would say
a word, you do not know of this person. But looking at their
face as I picked them up, though they lost their beauty, there's something
trapped inside of innocence that may have been lost a long time ago, of
course, And as you know, for me sort of relate to this feeling.
I couldn't help but see myself and her. It's once something beautiful in
turn something ugly, due to neever the world may have influenced our mine.
I'll go ahead and I will put my hands together and offer a prayer.
Lady of the graves, This for labors is a child of Galerian, and
as such a child of yours, like it or not, if you would
please find it in your schedule. I suppose to lead them to the boneyard
so that they may meet judgment and eventually peace. I would be most grateful.
I'll lower my hands. Okay, look to the coffin. You were
a worthy of combat combatant. It was a good fight. I am sorry
we did not meet on gentler terms. I'm sorry that our diplomacy did not
find a gentler course. I hope that you find freedom in whichever way you
can, especially from the bonds of those that seek to destroy and dominate others.
Goodbye, Nurse may I I swear hip of your oil. Of course,
I handed over all uncapped with my teeth and spread it around the edges
of the coffin. And then I will cough up a produce flame and contain
and contain it in my hand and kick the coffin to start they flow,
and toss the produced flame into the coffin where the oil is. Anyway,
see the drift wood start to blacken and smoke. Mm hmm. Hopefully they
gain rest, finally, tormented spirits of this land far too many m hm.
And I'll slowly started making my way around, trying to navigate the ice
very well. I will follow up through here to make sure that my friends
are safe. Hm mutter and elvish to Joanna and say, look, Melvic
is good at fire too. Where are you headed now? Fully back to
the ship very well. Another half mile or so to return to the ship.
Across the ice floes the occasional stops to try and navigate, jumping across,
moving along the waters and such. But in the distance you can see
the coffin of Philabus, probably just this trail of smoke into the sky.
Our audience would see the coffin slowly start to sink, capsizes in strange ways,
and there's a vortex that pulls it down into the depths. Eventually you
make your way back towards the ship and see the ghostly pirate crew as well
as your companions Sakawachi and her escorts an Igi, Numa and Ulukuk. We
solved your little problem, did you know? Yes? I walk up in
defense, waiting for the stupid little cap sand thing to attack me again.
Yeah again, Malvic focuses you see the caps stand with its smiley face painted
on it. It's just it's just there. There's no movement whatsoever. Again,
there's a glare off and stare at it constantly. What happened? Well,
we slew your good friend for Lavis. Captain Tinhill throws his hands up
the crew, let's loose a cheer, and we found a ritual that we
might be able to perform in order to free the vessel. Wonderful, wonderfulness,
it will make it in corporeal, so you may be freed from the
ice. Now does that allow us to stay on it for the journey?
I wonder, I don't rightly know you're the ones that read it. Perhaps
it would that it be temporarily incorporeal to free you, and then it will
be returned back to a solid state. Can you still sail it while it
is solid? I can sell anything. Therefore we do anything, well,
before any of that, we all would be incorporeal, so it would all
be fine. Ah, yes, that's a fine prince right ah yeah,
ah, yes, it was that, as Celia. I wonder, in
our childhold back to the ship, how we noticed anything different with the environment.
Does the never breaking ice begin to break with a deep defeat of the
Naiad and you don't notice anything immediately that you could tell? Okay, Malevik.
Were you going to say something, darling, Yes, I would like
to be paid for our services before we do any kind of rituals. We
have been through a lot, and I would like to say that that Nayad
Queen, though she was your enemy, was also a victim. You promised
us treasures everything on the boat. I just want to make sure that is
still going to be a thing once the ship goes into whatever state it is
supposed to be in. After we do this ritual, I will stay to
the agreements which we've already rewarded you for the dagger venom, the goggles might
as well as passage anywhere that this ship can travel. Right, But there
was also fine friend of saying, at least I think, but once we
free you, this ship will be ours, along with everything in it.
Am I incorrect? The agreement was for you being able to travel anywhere,
and once you pass on that the vessel would be usable by us. We
did have that dialogue, however, I believe that a rash talk. And
I have another request, perhaps for Gideon of your crew. Do you,
chef say smokey Ah? Yes it was Smoky was the nickname? Right?
Ship? That's between you and smoky. Then yes, they speak to them.
Captain, if right with you, perhaps we can get some rest,
stretch our treat of it, take off our boots dry of course. Hmm.
Will you be performing the ritual first? Do we wish to do so?
And then rest while we travel? We should be a vote words mm
hmmm, yes, very well. And what is it that you require for
this ritual? I begin pouring over it to see any materials that are needed.
Yeah, okay, so pearls or gems worth fifty gold pieces? Oh
you found it? Found? Yes, okay, here, I'll go ahead
and I'll post it. So, yes, it's a curls or gem's worth
a total value of fifty gold pieces. And then we would need two secondary
casters. So it's three a primary and two secondary. The secondary checks are
sailing lore or survival. Uh yeah, sorry, I thought it was for
the Uh you did pick up offerings in front of Olabis's alter that you can
potentially use. Wouldn't require all of it either. Do we have a rough
estimate of about how much these pearls and the marine would be worth? Yes?
Uh yeah, give me a crafting check, somebody, karoon, do
you have any idea how much these would be worth Let me take a look.
Karen brings out a little jeweler's spike. She brings the spyglass, pulls
it around the other side, and looks into it like a magnifying glass.
Let me have a little lukes of course, here you are. Let me
have a little harder. Oh I just can't quite see it. Of course,
of course I can. Here. That's better, beautiful, you were
looking at its butt. Hold on, there we go there? Okay,
so yes, there with crit there's one hundred and fifty gold worth of pearls
and aquamarines. You could potentially attempt the ritual three times. Excellent. All
right, Well, if you say this is about one hundred and fifty,
we could probably use about this much. And I'll split up the gems here
and hand over them to Rashchok, the ones that we would use for the
ritual. Yes, all right, we need people who are good with the
whole ship thing though. Yes, uh uh, Cook puts up his hand.
I believe I might be able to help. What must I do?
I have come here, will direct you as needed very well, hm hm,
he said, someone who's good with survival. Yes, yes, I
know my way around tracks. Hunting. I'm pretty decent. Is there someone
as better direct you? I think? Then? Mhmm, wonderful. Now
I'm not sure if since you are the one that read this this book,
why don't you tell us? Why don't you describe the scene of this ritual?
What does look like here? Well, we have a bunch of gem
and I believe what it looks like is you'll see me assisting a rash Talk
in getting the gems lined up on the ground looking like a vessel. Actually,
so with very carefully placing the gems around to make them look like a
ship. And if there are any pieces remaining, I will place one in
each of their hands. So I will give Malevika pearl, I will give
a rash Taka pearl, and I will give Holy couucka pearl as well,
because I used the what is it, the the okuamarine to make the ship
look very blingy. Very well, well, the rest is up to you
if you'd like a little bit of guidance. So I can probably help with
that much. But that's about it. Yes, so we can do that
for all of us, I think would be wise. Okay, rash Talk,
are you leading the ritual? Yeah? What was what, Yes,
I am I believe occultism. Yes, perfect, all right, and this
is with guidance, so it'll be a plus one. And then Ulu Kuk
and Malvic will also get guidance. Between the two of us, we can
I mean it's cantrip so all right, leading with the cultism role for a
twenty nine okay, As a rash talk begins, the ritual describe what starts
to happen A rashtok thirty actually, darling thirty, my mistake, thank you.
Yes, I begin like casting over this gemstone like vessel, and it
begins to operate and form into three dimensions, almost etherially. The gems melt
and begin to shape the hull, the mast, and little figures begin to
stand up in place of each go ghost that is here attempting to replicate the
entire ship in this form. As I concentrate and breathe out frost forming it
more, you see these swirling effects ethereal energy begin to swirl around, interspersed
with bugs. As these insects emerge from a rash talk's sleeves, you see
them sort of spread out of following around these ethereal motions. And as this
happens. He motions towards Ulu Kuk and Malvic start off with Liku whirl the
green die for Uli Kuk here okay uh ulakook. You can see it begins
to head towards the the wheel of the ship and begins to take hold of
the wheel and begins to guide the ship sort of spinning it around, uh,
sort of trying to turn it in the ice. And slowly but surely
you can see the ship. You see the ice begin to sheer off at
first, and the ship sort of stutters a moment and then begins to free
itself from the ice. Malvic, donic, is this your first ritual?
E smell the pearl you've got this, yes, Olden, I'll guide you
here. You're going to yep, you do whatever feels natural, darling.
I'll look over our capstan in the exact same position, hasn't moved. They
glare at each other again, other than murdering that, I'll take my hand
and I'll slam it into the deck and grip they would beneath my nails and
close my eyes and grip my teeth and try to focus all of my survival
instincts into this ritual. Twenty three, twenty four, twenty four, Yes,
think Malvic. As you connect with the ship, it's as if your
senses oh rowden and you start to see the ice around the ship. You
start to feel the waters as if they are submerged around your feet, and
you can start to feel the ship. You get to move, ice cannot
grab hold of you. Ship moves loaded, the sail hoists them as a
mass. Come on, lads, what movement? The crew raises hands and
you all feel this wave of strange. It feels like you're sort of being
covered in a heavy blanket for a moment. As you all look at yourselves,
you start to see through your hands, through your body. For a
moment, there's this sensation of weightlessness. As you all move with the ship
sailing through the ice, you pass through this substruction. As the ship makes
way along the lake of Mysts and veils the crew let's out of cheer.
