Thank you for listening and enjoy. We return to the Windigo Peaks and the
Blood Vein Pass, where the party are all finishing up a long rest after
opening up their little sheltering bowl that magically provides an underlo believably broken shelter for
them in which basically they become immune to everything that happens outside of it.
And really the only way for any GM to do anything to them while they're
in there is to have them be like, oh, woke up, and
then they step outside and there is just a bunch of animals waiting, which
I'm not going to do or am I everyone roll a perception check? I
Love DM Regrets nineteen from thrac nine from Jilden Seria's unconscious. I thought his
eyes were open when he was unconscious or something creepy. Okay, you're got
your lake. Oh I probably would have done that. Yeah, it's been
a long you've had a period into a long rest. I guess what you
see is what's around you. You can see out of this bowl. There
isn't anything in here. You're in an abandoned and unused forge, similar to
what a dwarven forge might look like. But you know that the dwarves of
the area are known as darrow. They're slightly different to dwarves. They're kind
of you know what. I'm just going to leave it up to your interpretation,
to be honest. The room that you're in, the chamber was once
a forge. There is a huge sort of towering statue of a four eyed
dragon. There is a colossal sort of dwarven figure that's been fashioned out of
some of the rock, and the ever flowing blood river continues to flow underneath
you. The angel of this area is the river of Blood itself. Bibble
is with you. He is a darrow, and I think he probably had
a little nap and sleep as well. But what did you do? I
think I feel like you told me what you guys ended up doing in the
time last week, But I'm not too sure because I've completely forgotten everything.
So I feel like you guys had like something that you did. I thought
that you actually did recover Sea Am I crazy? Yeah? I would have
had to cast remove, so I would have to long wrest so that I
could prepare the spell. That's right, that's what you were doing, correct?
Yeah? Yes, cool? Yeah, so now I can cast remove
curse and then ill him. Yeah. How does that look? I think
the bowl because the bowl sort of after a certain amount of time, I'm
just going to bring it back up for people who might be watching. They
required this a very long time ago. A sheltering bowl is what it's called,
and it's got a lot of text to it, but essentially they place
a bowl down, speak a command word and it turns into a big sort
of protective dome, and after eight hours, the dome breaks apart, the
ethereal shards turned back into a physical bowl, and the feature can be used
again after twelve hours. You've used it for today. But I think that
happens, you know, as the eight hours hit the familiar. At this
point, all the fragmentation happens, and then it kind of turns back into
a little bowl amongst you. I think Bibble sort of wakes up and say,
oh, so kind of confused because he doesn't know what the bowl is,
but all of you are prepared to understand it. Sea remains unconscious.
You're all at full health, You've all got all of your abilities and spell
slots back. But Sea is currently cursed. So what do you do and
how does this remove curse spell happen? Yeah, So I I have him
laid on his back with his you know, face up, and I'm knelt
right above his head, and I bring my forehead to his forehead with my
hand on his cheek, and I speak some short Goliath words in honor of
Oriel. And as with my magic, it's always this sort of like snowy
white light kind of magic. It would just sort of go from the top
of his head all the way down to his toes in kind of like a
full scan to purify every inch to remove the curse. Yeah, and it
does. So I'm just reminding myself of what the curse was. I don't
know why I couldn't remember, but it's a the curses that you can't regain
any HP and has a supernatural hunger. So what this does is it removes
the curse, but he would still be on zero so's he would just be
stabilized. But he is on zero HP, so it'd still be killed.
Then were you cursed? I don't remember if we went back on it or
not. I think I was bitten. What was your HP before you did
the long rest? Do you remember? I think she was cursed. Yes,
I remember that. I feel like she was. We leveled up for
those listenings. So the HP RecA I don't know. Yeah, but technically
yours wouldn't even on a level up because you just would not. I wasn't
low on health. Yeah, I think I'll say I was like the Okay,
well what is your HP max? And max HP is fifty six roller
D fifty six. I can't kill you. Have God's sake over the night.
This is what it is. There is an element to this curse,
which is that you have a hunger to you and I think for some reason,
you know you're I mean, I don't know what this means. It
just says that you have an intense hunger, and I think that you've just
been suffering under this curse. Whatever wound you you you gained from the bite,
continue to get worse because you couldn't heal it. So you're still bleeding,
you're still injured, and you had this wound overnight and it's just continued
to bleed and weep and get worse. And I would say that's why you're
down to eight hp. So actually you're probably not looking great with the with
the damage here, and you also just still have this weird curse. So
maybe you've just been like eating find like all of our supply is gone.
You've just eaten every ration we have. I don't know does children have the
sort of willpower to not do that. That's fine. I don't think she
hear through everything, but she's probably eating through a good chunk of all of
her Russians are gone, and then a little bit of some of the others
have gone as well. The group rations. Let's see I roll slight of
hand to see if you have noticed me Jildren's rolling episode. Everything that children
does ms four This perception. This is everyone's passive perceptions. Passive perception is
fourteen. So does that mean be successful? I'm successful. She's successful because
she's making the check right, okay makes it? Oh yeah, you steal
all my rashans ye and all the series because he's unconscious. Yeah, I
mean, so then I would come to you. Well, first I would
heal see her. Actually, no hold on what I'm going to do is
sorry, there's like an order that is best. Yeah, really before you
start. I don't know if you would know that I am not healed,
because I wouldn't children want to say anything. Would I know that you have
been cursed? Though I don't think you were close enough to see it.
You were pretty far away. Can I can I roll to see? Can
I roll to see if I would be able to notice that she's cursed?
Because it would be the same curse that Seer has, So I would kind
of be like, I mean, I think this really, I don't know
if it necessarily means you know that she's cursed, but you'd have to know
that she was bitten and has a bite and has a or a scratch on
her somewhere. So I guess, Jilden, where is the injury? I
know we probably described something last week, but I can't remember, and I
don't think any remember how it happened. Probably a leg I mean you were
written right off on it. Yeah, but I was a well shaped as
a wolf around its neck, I think when it happened, and then I
got you baited an opportunity attack, and then yeah, yeah, as you
really like, it could be anything, really, So let's just say they
bit me on the leg as though pushed away from it. And how we're
well concealed? Is this leg wound over the night? I mean I am
covered in rags and random bits of cloth and blood and stuff anyway, and
shelves, so it's probably fairly concealed. And what about limping and stuff.
Yes, I would limp, but you again, I usually walk with my
staff. I'm old and a little bit shambly anyway the best of times.
So all right, so you're trying to you're trying to hide it from me.
Yeah, I think we'll do a contested check here, we'll do so.
I think Cyrus can do either a perception investigation or a medicine check.
I think any of those are fine. And Jilden, you can do either
a deception a performance or do you know you could You could probably just make
a a constitution check, not a save, but a check, although you
probably it's probably the same thing. I'll do that. I don't think I'm
trying to hide it per se. I'm just not trying to be fifty Okay,
Yeah, she's concealing it pretty well, even though you know she's not
actively trying to. But I don't think you're aware. Yeah, I don't
think you're aware of she's cursed. You also know that she's able to heal
herself, right, Jilden has some healing ability, So yeah, okay.
It's probably over the course of the year or so that you've known each other
a little over there's probably been plenty of times where you've not really had to
worry about Jilden over the night, compared to the other two you would have
had. You know, you turn around and you're like, hey, do
you need healing, and she's just like a little nope, A beautiful question.
You can check my chef out. Yes, aside from me not being
able to be healed, was there any other indication that I am cursed?
There was the we observed the magical bite happen, so you could tell when
this thing bit you, or at least I described it definitely with you.
I don't remember if I described it with with Jilden that there was a sort
of magic element to this bite, because I wanted you to be aware of
that. So I think it's fair to say that your cleric can be aware
of the curse along with the bite, which is why I focused on Jilden.
Whether you could see that she was wounded, because you would you definitely
know this thing curses upon its bites. I think maybe even Bibble would have
explained that throughout the night as well to you. At some point, there's
probably just a little side where you're talking about cleric things and he's like,
oh, I didn't realize you could heal and you're like, oh yeah.
He was like I was throwing blood at you and stuff. I could have
killed you. I'm an idiot. And you're like it's all good. And
he's like, oh, by the way, those things when they bite you,
it gives you a curse. And you're like, oh, that's what
that was. Okay, Well I'll heal him in the morning and then we
get to here, Okay, So yeah, we're going to go with through
whatever circumstances you mentally need to figure out for yourselves. You are not aware
that children is cursed or even injured okay, but are aware obviously with sear
and the fact that he was unconscious would have okay indicated he was injured.
So yeah, so seer, I cast cure wounds. So you take eight
h eeling damage, it's not very much. Wait, hold on, was
anyone else hurt? No, it's it's fine. Everyone wants but the rest.
I don't think I was hurt. It was the first called or whatever
he did. Oh yeah, I was, yeah, which doesn't curse.
Yes, okay, cool? God do I have to thank mine primarily?
Oh figures, you take another I cast healing word on you, and you
take another nine me having them count on my fingers like a child appreciated.
Of course, there's this song ringing in my hat. I'm not sure where
from what I can here is just internet? Am I the only one?
Mm? Hmmm? Is he the only one? I've absolutely no idea what
he's doing. So I think there was a throwback to the end of the
last episode where you're like, when I wake up with the other care with
Bible, I thought you were doing it right. Yeah. Yeah, he
was singing that song all night. Bibble sang all sorts of songs, old
lang sign I don't know any of the proclaim as an old lang sign some
biffy cliros. Guy, I think they might be Yes, okay, so
you are vaguely healed. I don't know if you're hell to fall or anything
like that. Uh okay, yeah, then yeah, I think you over
the You know, maybe there's a little bit of time where seer is able
to get his bearings and maybe a little bit of food or something, but
all my rations go. That's a good point. Actually, you wake up
and you have no rations, so maybe you don't eat any food. What's
wrong with your rations? I was going for a snack. I had forty
individually wrapped mold parcels. Mold parcels. You just heard unidentified munching from one
side of the Oh. I stared total, but don't look at me wiping
my mouth, say total? Have you always spores around your So you do?
Have you always had spores around your mouth like that? I don't know
what you're talking about? Full, then mask a little bit lower. You
probably haven't even seen the school I want to go to school that she now
wants. What in whatever God you believe in is on your face is what
we call a trophy. We can see out of this spoil can it's like
completely transparent? So there is the ball's gone now dispersed, and in which
case I turns his attention to the large blood lightning ball in the sky that
hasn't paled as when they go without our school. I appreciated the core.
I'd appreciate your life more one more second, and that had been you?
Why is that out for the count? You were out of the floor having
an app where the rest of us were doing all of the work. That's
okay, And you would have turned me into a statue. Well maybe not
me, but somebody would have place blood magic affects things this strange way.
Anyway, Where are we going next? Uh? I think we should so
if we can get this forge working, and so if we can use it
to craft items. We don't know if there's anywhere else in the world that
isn't completely destroyed. So this may be our best chance, right eh,
the forge? Yes, of course, we have to be wary and do
this as quickly as possible. When Syah says, be weary, My eyes
flip back to the ceiling again, looking around to see if there are any
more of these creatures, These wendergoes. Yeah, give me a perception tick
one perception check, coming right up twenty one twenty one. The ceiling reveals
that there are no windergoes up there. It seems as if there's really nothing
but you guys in this cave. But it's quite hard to tell full because
it goes so far down towards the river, and it's quite a large and
sort of open, bizarre space with a huge opening that leads out to this
ridiculously large set of bridges. But for now it seems to be pretty pretty
empty. It's a bit like having the entire place be fire lit, though,
with the flickering of shadows from the everything is under lit, so even
when you're looking around at each other, your faces would be lit from the
bottom with a sort of red hue. So there's lots of corners of these
places that kind of flicker and change with shadows that might leave you feeling a
little more paranoid. But yeah, I don't think you. I don't think
you're too bothered about anything suddenly leaping out at you anytime soon. Very well,
well, if you're going to do something, then quit quick. Like
Siah says, I would like to see U, I like to inspect the
corpse of the window, go and see if I could use perhaps some of
the I don't know what it's called when blood is turned into I guess glass
or something. What it looks like. I think it does look like glass
to you. Yeah, like colored glass. And yeah, give me an
arcana check. Okay one, Yeah, it's not quite glass. It's also
not a crystallized version of the the blood that is underneath you. This is
just actual henomancy or blood mancy. So this is just blood that's been pulled
from the creature. Maybe some of it was pulled from you, guys,
you just weren't aware of it. Jilden pulled blood from almost thin air and
created a sort of lance out of it. So it really is just crystallized
normal blood. Not particularly useful for anything, but it looks nice. Okay,
Well, I'll try to figure out if there's a way I can use
tools and forge two imbue my staff with the power of the bits of God
or your bone that we have. Yeah, okay, yeah, make me
another arkanna check. This is just generally to understand the intricacies of blood,
the properties of the angelic bone shard, and yeah, figure out how you
can understand the harnessing of that power and potentially begin the process at sixteen is
a success, there's one success. You have to make many successes from now
on, either by yourself or as a group. There are going to be
lots of checks if you want to undergo this task. Depending on how many
successes you get depends on how successful you are and potentially what item comes out
at the other end of this. Okay, and you're aiming for enhancing your
staff in such a way that it becomes just an ungodly Ye, my memory
is terrible. Did we verify that? I have two shards of bone,
one from the big pig and one from the vulture? Right? Yeah,
you have one bone shot and I don't know which one it is. M
I mean that's a good Did you get a good look at either of them?
I don't think so. I don't think so. I think I was
almost dying both times. So I mean, ok maybe in my mind,
but was it was it real? Yeah? You have one one shot?
Not too okay, and I just don't know which one it is. I
guess it doesn't matter a piece of an angel either way. Yeah, I
suppose I would discuss this with the team then, so I would turn to
everyone and say, right, well, I believe that I could possibly discover
a way to enhance one of our weapons. I was thinking of embedding this
piece of bone into my staff, but I suppose I could do it into
the hilt of your sword Cyrus, or into your staff yielding. I honestly
don't know what would happen if I put it into the magical staff you have.
So yeah, let't buy another angel. My stuff was so much blessed
by an angel, but is made of one, so I'm not sure.
Perhaps that would be the correct place for it. If we gather the blessings
angel after angel, who are left the most powerful beings? Would it not
make the most sense instead of separating across many different items to make one.
But if they don't, shouldn't match. But if they were adults with each
other, that's why concern. Is there a way that I could try and
figure that out? Try to touch them together and see what happens. You're
welcome to take my staff and play with it, as long as you didn't
break it. The energy around the two. I put some goggles on and
I set up my makeshift little potion makers lab, and I would see you
like what happens when they touch, like very carefully, as carefully as possible.
And you're touching see as staff or touching see your staff Yeah okay with
thick like leather gloves that would probably be included in the potion maker's kid.
I would be touching the bone and do it to see what happens. Okay,
touching your bone to my staff? Yes, yeah, that's wrong,
make me a slight of hand check fuck okay A nine. It's a little
more clumsy than you want it to be as you touched bone to staff,
But really nothing happens do They just sort of clatter together? And yeah,
any old you know ape can smack things together and hope that it works.
But I think you get the sense that it takes a little more than that
to really harness any sort of arcane properties of these items, right, I'm
just testing to see if there's if there immediately, if there's a negative response
between two different angels like that, you'd think that you were hitting a stone
against a random tree branch that you found. Okay, Well, that doesn't
appear to be any sort of any sort of response at all. I'm not
sure, what what do we want to do here? Do we want to
continue to enhance? See your staff? What do we want to try and
enhance everyone's tools? Bye? Well that's I suppose that's a good point.
We are curer, we're stronger together. M sow. Raising all of our
strengths should be our goal. Then if we're working as a team, or
you could make my stuff better and I'll just continue to carry the lot,
I say with a not quite so confidence. I'm just you know, I
grin riley. Yes, perhaps your strength alone working with us as a team
is more variable than all of us sharing it. Well, what do you
mean mine the effort of getting the shot? Me all told you not to?
Oh man, Yes, it's just me that told her not to.
My Goddess, I should not be bartaking. If you do, indeed intend
to go to such lengths, you may as well go do it for yourself,
and that will give me ample time to be as far away as possible
when you start. I like the idea that you are the one who obtained
it, and therefore you are the one who should benefit, and we all
benefit if you benefit to a degree. I look very putting no f into
this conversation, almost very exhausted as I sit there in the corner, offering
an opinion, but also genuinely like I don't want anything to do with this
shod I would like to check insight on jildin. Okay, you can roll
me an insut check. Children, if you're trying to act like you're not
injured. You can roll a deception check or a constitution check if you just
feel like naturally she wouldn't look that messed up. I got a bit at
seventeen thirteen. I guess you can describe to us how children looks too cyrus.
Then usually there's a very combative energy around children, A very she despite
her age. She sits tall, she looks proud. She will argue with
gusto and usually be very animated improving a point. And right now she is
punched over, somewhat leaning on her staff. She's barely making any effort towards
this conversation. It would look to anybody observing who knows her well that there's
obviously something not quite right. Children. Are you all right? Of course
I'm all right, I said, I wonder you full sleep, A lot
of my friend, wonderful sleep with all of my friends is what tips me
off. I was willing to let it go and be like, all right,
you know, like she's a grown turtle. She's a grown turtle.
She can tell me she's capable independent, you know that let me. You
said I had a lovely sleep with all of my friends. Yeah, I'm
gonna oh sorryhead. I mean, if you look closely enough, there would
be a small pool of blood that is still dripping. It's like a wound
that just doesn't seem to scab over. It is still what happened here.
I come over and I kneel down in front of you, and I'm looking
around you now, sort you're a way a little bit of it. Oh
goodness, it's the price, the price of war, That's all it is.
It'll be fine, to be fine. The body is fantastic at healing.
Eventually, probably I gesture to the bleeding, weeping wound that will not
heal. It's just being stabbing. Did it bite you? It w bagged
me? Did Bible bite you? I mean the wind to go. There's
obviously a blind log when you uh yeah. At that point, I just
give up elean heavier on the staff and just close my eyes and just sigh
and just let you do whatever it is you need to do. Yeah.
I put my forehead to your forehead and cast the breath smells suspiciously of multiples.
That's just how people's breath smells anyway. One day, Well, there's
original breath, and then you can take eight healing mhmm. You will need
to rest in order to properly heal. But this will get us through everything's
it would have healed. It is just fine. And I'm sure until you
fell your gods like your god in your magic yeah, like all of yeah,
yeah, yeah, everything is tied back to I think with the amount
of insight you had, I think you could tell that that. I'm just
uncomfortable with it, Like whenever you do anything to me, I am just
uncomfortas Okay, oh, all this is happening. Like in the middle of
her inspecting the wound, I come up completely oblivious to what's going on,
and I demand Cirrus's sword. I need to inspect your sword, please,
all right, I give it to you, okay, yeah, and then
I take the sword in my staff over to like another table and I'm looking
at them while this is happening. How does Cirrus's sword look and your staff?
Look? Are they distinct in any way? My staff is just that's
just length of word. You know, I'm a jazzling up a sword and
all that. But as Cyrus used it to swing it an enemy yet,
yes, I think you have offended. Yes, I uh, you would
notice that. I. I think we've been traveling together long enough though that
you would notice that I only bring it out in like the most dire circumstances,
like I try not to use it. But uh, my sword,
I think it looks it looks like a like a military issued sword, so
it's soldier issues. It's the sword from the No, no, no,
maybe it is a long sword. Yeah, And but you would notice that
it's been like extremely well taken care of. So uh the pommel maybe like
has some patina on it, but like the blade itself is very well taken
care of. And it is good good steel. It's very high quality.
But it's not like it doesn't have any ornate detailing or anything like that.
It is pretty like you know, pragmatically built. Okay, it's from the
first it's like a wooden ok well it a wooden one. Yeah. Yeah,
like the handle, the handle would be wood, but it would have
leather and then some other material kind of wrapped around. Uh, it doesn't
have a dangly bit to it, and the leather is not intricately woven in
any way. It's just like you know, do purpose. But again,
the leather has been well tended and the crossguard is You would notice that the
crossguard has damage to it, like it's been used. It's that the blade
is well handled, the crossguard has done its job in protecting the hands.
But yeah, sorry, I got real detailed, but it's my sword is
very important to me. No, absolutely, I'm imagining just like a standard
English long sword from like, you know, an offer of Knights of the
Round Table TV show or something. I think it would be closer to like
in design, it would probably be closer to okay, in Warcraft three,
the basic sword item that you get in any game. Yes, yes,
the first long sword, which, to be fair, like long swords were
probably pretty expensive and a regular long sword is like a pretty cool thing.
I think the Brave Heart sword. But maybe the blade is thicker, claim
more, it's big. Yeah, that's why she's so buff. Okay,
she's got I love that you knew that was a claimar just after just immediate
though. I'm obsessed with Brave he watches. I watched it so many times
when I was a kid. Making sense now a sign fall into place with
his character, his character as a person, not thrack character. Okay.
I think I would also try to take Jordan's staff. Absolutely not, not
a chance. I let you take the stuff. I just mm hmm.
I need to look at it. I am holding onto it firmly with both
hands. You can look at it, look at it from a distance.
Mm hmm. I'm kind of de side if I would just take her from
her feeble little old lady, total grin. It's not feeble. Intelligence saving
throw rank Okay, A nine, which is like almost the worst for it
was a two. Yeh. I'm not going to give you anything for it.
Then I'm okay, excellent. You should Thrac should know better for some
reason. Yeah, I think. I think about it for a moment,
and then I just I'm all right, And I am studying both the sword
in the staff to try to discover which one would better hold the magic of
the shand of own. Yeah, give me an investigation check and an arcarna
check, and I will combine the results to give you an answer. Seventeen
on investigation and the event. Teen on our kanna the staff. The staff
is hard to say because this was a branch from ash right completely looking at
I'm looking at my staff. Oh your staff. Your staff is made of
just normal wood, right, Yeah, your staff and Jilden staff would just
immediately be destroyed if you tried to put them through any sort of forging process.
Here, Okay, it's going to be really hard to utilize this forge,
which was pretty predominantly used to forge metallic items. You know, the
odds of your staff being destroyed in the process are pretty high. The odds
of Gilden staff being destroyed in the process are pretty high, and you'll just
end up with nothing really usable because you're just trying to use normal wood and
not some sort of magically enhanced would like see as branch, which he uses
as a quarter stuff. The sword would fare much better because this is a
forge. The process would require you to melt down the smelt the metal again
and then reforge it along with the blood, and then forge in the element
of the angel bone shard during that process. So the sword is a much
better idea. Alternatively, you could just find some raw materials potentially in the
cave and just craft a brand new item. You'd have to look about to
try and find molds for what you would be able to forge, because it's
not just swords. You could certainly recreate a sword. You could certainly try
and forge something out of the presuma indestructible ash branch, or you might be
able to find a mold for something else, a shield or helm or something
like that braces things like that. So, yeah, your staff and Jilden
staff are very unlikely to make it through this process. I'd start looking around
then for potentially find something that you could affixed to the wood so you could
make you know, like the end of a scepter has like a thing,
and then you just That's sort of what I was thinking, Like, could
I definitely do that, make a piece of metal to put into the staff
and then somehow that incorporates You could probably do that. Yeah, probably wouldn't
be as potent as a fully you know, forged with the blood item,
but you, I mean, magic is magic, right, You're just using
the stick to get to the end of it. Yeah, I think that
I would certainly I'd want to want the most power out of this item as
possible. So I think I'm looking around for a mold of some kind to
see if there's something I can forge, perhaps using the power of the River
of Blood as well. You can't use this forge without using the River of
blood. Whatever you forge here will be for that blood. Okay, Yeah,
is anyone else helping him look for foot stuff? Because this is a
big cabin and big forge. Only if he asks nicely. I would ask
as I always do, which is not rudely, but not I'm not going
to beg in my general direction, I would ask all three of you,
oh, okay. Then I prop myself up with my brain lunch and I
follow a look around. I don't as seem to make any motion, but
not out of malice, but appear that I've just I don't notice. I
just assume everyone's helping me because they know how important this is. I place
a gentle hand on Jilden's shell and then start to look around. I'm uncomfortable
with Jilden's level of discomfort at my healing that I've now just realized is a
thing. I don't know what to do about it. Okay, all right,
anyone who is looking around, make me an investigation check a natural twenty
seven, count eleven and seventeen. Okay, what would you most like to
find? Track? Oh? How big is this bone shark? Pretty small?
Like no, no, like a golf ball in yeah, okay,
So it would need to be put into like a bracer or vembrace. So
maybe like a circlet or piece of armor. It wouldn't be able to be
put into like a piece of jewelry or something. The hilt of his sword
a little bit a little bit big for for yeah, like a ring or
right, yeah, necklace would be would be quite big to be hanging around
something like that. So yeah, okay, I guess I would want something
that all of us could where so I'd go with like like a vambrace,
like a a bracelet of some kind. Yeah, that is one of the
things you find. You find molds for several different types of vambras and vambrase
and braces and things like that. You find molds for helms, for chest
plates for greeves. You find lots of different molds for different types of swords,
you know, great swords, bastard swords, short swords, scimitars,
things like that. Spears and lances. You find some oddly shaped molds that
just you can't figure out. I don't think what they could possibly make.
Maybe it's like an ornate thing like they make, Like one is like a
shell shape. It looks like you might make a conch or poss probably a
horn or something like that, but it's quite hard to figure out what it
is. You find some for crowns that might be worn, you know,
by like a king, that kind of a crown, circlets, things like
that. But yeah, you find I think the thing that you maybe settle
on based on Well, I suppose each of you find all these different things
and you bring them together and sort of look over them, but maybe your
eyes settle on the one that you were looking for the most. Yeah,
I would say, does anyone have any preference? I was thinking we could
use a piece of armor that's easy to take on and off in case we
wanted. We all want to use it at some point. It's clever.
I don't know that I have a preference necessarily. Well, if it's armor,
it's going to get in the way of what I do. If it's
jewelry or something else like a trinket, then I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't
be against it, Okay, If yeah, I guess that's a good point.
If we forge a piece of metal armor that's like the wrist, would
that are you going to give us the Are we going to need to have
heavy armor proficiency to use it? Well, it depends on what you're trying
to forge, how successful you are. But I mean generally speaking, if
you're trying to the difference between the gauntlet like the Thanos gauntlet and like a
little vambraise that just goes around the rim is in what you tell me you're
forging. So if you're using you know, a little thing and you're only
using a certain amount of metal, and again you have to figure out how
thin to make it when you're forging things. By the way, my real
world experience of forging is extremely limited. Genuinely was tempted to bring in Cord
Cord just a DM just to do this session for me and be like,
can you just run them for a thing, And but I did look into
it a little bit and I think, you know, some of it is
based on there's a few things that it's that are involved, you know,
like even like the amount of heat and placement of things, and how much
metal you apply to it will apply how thick the the armor becomes. But
yeah, I mean you can if you're aiming for a certain thing. I'm
not going to punish you for you know, bringing it wrong unless you roll
it absolute shit. There's going to be a bunch of successes and fails that
will determine aither potency of what it is, how good it is, how
well you've crafted it, and if you just massively fail, you probably will
just create something that you don't you know, it will be the worst vam
brace possible. But I don't think I would punish you if you wanted.
If you're just making a vam brace, I don't think it necessarily means that
you would need heavy armor proficiency. Let me just check though, because I
know there's a difference between vambraces and like bracers, because braces are the ones
that like archers wear it, right, Yeah, I think so Risgards or
whatever. Yeah, van braise is the chunky thing that goes up and around
your elbow. Yeah, so I probably wouldn't want to do that. You
could just go for like a bracelet or this is what it embraces. You
could attempt to make bracers, which are usually leather, but I think they
do come with like metal, you know, like the layer tiered metal over
it. So this is a dwarf and bracer here. And I'm sorry chat
that you can't see any of these images. But if you look, if
you google Viking bracer, that looks to me like a dwarf and bracer because
you're using Dwarven darrow but essentially Dwarven right molds here. So what's coming on
is like a thing that looks like a piece of Dwarven armor. You know.
My intention here is offensive, not defensive, because I think we need
more power two stop what we're going after, and so I'm looking to make
something that's like a focus of some kind to maybe make our spells do more
or yes, I have a I think it would make the most sense if
we made either like a bracelet of some kind, something to be worn on
the hand or something to be worn on the head, like a circlet.
Yeah, because then you know, for the it just allows us to magic
users to focus through the mind and then yeah right or yeah, okay,
or you know, then Seer can have more power in his vesticas or some
of this is going to be intent. Yeah, so it's going to be
an element of magic involved here and sort of spellcraft in that what you're aiming
for being imbued into this thing will come from you shaping it for your intention,
your ability to imagine while you're crafting this thing. But if you make
something that's a defensive item, it's more likely to be a defensive ability that
comes with it. If you make something that's an offensive item, it's more
likely to have an offensive ability. If you're building something that's designed for mages,
mage craft, spell casting, like a circlet or a crown or something,
then you know you're more likely to have something that boosts that particular class.
So some of your intent here will maw so finding something that you will
share and then figuring out how that works. Again, it's up to you,
but some of this will be intent. I'm going to be asking you,
like what the intent is. So if it is a thing where you're
like, I want this to boost spells, I want this to boost it
could be anything you know I want. You think about D and D items
in general, how they're crafted is who knows. You know, there are
dwarves that are crafting these things. Somewhere there are witches in swamps crafting things
in a completely different manners. Like at the end of it, what is
crafted is a magical artifact, right, So yeah, the there's a couple
of things that will go into this, but a lot of it will be
intent. And I think you've already passed your your arkanacheck for knowledge, So
I think thank you understand that that some of the element of making this magical
will come from your intent and your ability to harness the magic and the flow
of the magic and things, and some of it is going to be random,
and a lot of it is going to be, like you're dealing with
magical Probably is that you have no idea. You know, you're you're up
and high what we're going to dealing with some completely random elements. You know,
there's probably only a handful of items in the world that really ever been
made out of bits of an angel blad This this angel seems to be a
thing that they did all the time. But this is a You're in the
middle of nowhere, in the far reaches of the world, underground, and
you've stumbled upon these people that live here, and even Bibble, you get
the sense that bibbil is like second generation doesn't know any of this depend on
him for anything. Yeah, so you know this won't be an exact science,
and some of it will come down to execution, but your intention will.
Now as long as you're clear what you want to make. Yeah,
okay, Well, I if I were to make like circlear or a broach,
would those and with the intention of having it like enhance our magical abilities?
Would it matter which one I choose? Would? I know? There
are a lot of elements going on here. You've got your intent, You've
got the properties of the magical elements that are going into it, the shard
and the blood. Right, there's the r energy of magic. Right,
so I'd say there's light, and then there's the element of like what you're
crafting. So it's a circle, it's one thing, that disord it's another.
It's a chest plate it's another. So you're aim here is a sort
of a one in five. But you can at least engineer. You're at
your side of things, being that your intention and the spell weaving element of
the forgery. And also if you create a circlet, it's you know,
more likely to do something that a circlet would do. If you can make
a sword, it's more likely to enhance something. A sword will do that
kind of thing. You know, like robe didn't You wouldn't weave a robe
with the intention of it being worn by a knight who runs a vanguard knight
running into battle. Right, I saw a brooch or a circle, But
I'm also just working with metal, so I would a broach or a circle.
It likely aid to magical enhancements, is what I'm masking, i'd say,
in your opinion as a gam I guess so, yes, that or
defensive properties usually or defensive Okay, well, I don't want that. You
know what I'm going to do to be sure, I'm gonna say I think
I think our best back to get what I would like to get out of
this is to discover a way to make a metal staff or I don't know,
is there, like, is there some sort of metal spell focus item
that's common in D and D. I don't know. That's staff's and wands
and stuff like that. I let's have a little luk and I think they
use crystal ball. Can't really make that, right? I mean you you
almost had access to a crystal ball at one point. What about a dagger.
Would that be used as like a spell focus? Not really, you
can use technically, you can use anything as a spell focus, but generally
so so you can get things like plus one wands and staffs and things.
Right, it exists, So generally speaking, those are the things A thing
like a crystal ball, a spell book, a staff, a wand those
are the wizards spell focuses. Now, if you came up to me and
said, I've made a wizard for this brand new D and D game that
we're going to play, his spell focus is a circle that he wears on
his head, I'll be like, okay, that's your spell focus. It's
fine, Okay, I guess, well, I guess let's go with what
I would ask the group, then do you think And I would hold up
a mold of this pretty plain circle it, and then I would also hold
up a mold of of of a brooch, which is also fairly plain,
which do you think we should use? And I would ask the group and
they all stare at me blankly for I don't even really okay, sorry,
it was a circle brouch Yeah? Uh why can? I'm assuming a conversation
that you just had with the GM was all in your mind. So I'm
asking, why can we not just create something for your staff? We could,
but I'm afraid that it wouldn't be as potent, wouldn't be as potent
as a circlet. Yeah, there's something made fully of metal, forged with
the river of this river Angel, and you wouldn't want a new staff.
I suppose we could make it a metal staff. Is there? Would it
bother you to use such a thing? No? But then you you may
not be able to use it, and certainly see it wouldn't be able to
A bracelet makes more sense now, or bracelet or something you can just clasp
onto your wrist or arm. A bengal little bracelet. Probably this thing is,
you know, imagine a sort of probably like a diamond shaped or like
you know, like a shark tooth shape, is what I think I said
it was. Yeah, it's like a big shark tooth, is what you're
looking at. So a little bracelet with this huge thing on might not be
a thing, but a bengal is definitely doable. Yeah, And if you
use the word bangle, we get an extra role on all of our roles.
Because Pride is obsessed with final fantasy. If you if you build anything
that looks like it's slots material. Yeah, we're good. You're in.
You don't even know the campaign. Keifa joins the party. What would be
the most a threat? Tell me what you think what would be the most
beneficial to us? The power that could come from a metal staff created with
this, or an item that we split amongst ourselves. I would imagine that.
Now. I'm not all too smart, but it feels something that we
all could use would dilute it somehow. You know, if you have a
staff, you make a bond with it, you can commune with it anyway.
But once I agree with the total, this is all well, and
we better hurry up otherwise we're going to get ethno something. OK. If
we've been talking for like two and a half minutes, like two hours,
there's not been two hours. I stare at him blankly with all eight eyes.
Right, Well, I suppose I'll make a decision. Then would you
like to make a check? Yeah? Sure, yeah, I'd like to
figure around. I mean in actually, I'll tell you what I'm thinking right
now is if we made matching bracelets with the angel with a blood angel,
that might help us bond further through the cure bond, and then just one
of them has the bone of another angel in it. And then as we
go on, maybe we can add more bits everyone else's we cannot just have
like bracelets or brooches or whatever. You can be sailor Mars, and I
can be sailor Mercury exactly. Yeah, no, it would be captain planet.
Come on, now, art art all are because it's just made of
blood. That's true. We're all hot, hot hot. That sounds cool.
I don't say out loud, because this is the thought that Thrack is
having with someone. Yeah, I am having that thought, and then I
relate. I you know what if we made for braces or circlets or brooches
and we all wore them, we made them all from the blood angel river
thing, and we insert the bone into one of them, and as we
continue our travels, perhaps we'll find more things we can insert into the others.
But having the same magically imbued item would perhaps enhands. So I'm getting
excited. Perhaps en hands our bonds as curer. This is the answer to
how we defeat this plague. We have to work together. Oh thank you.
You might be onto something knowing how this silly curer, curse thing works.
No, we're all connected, so making something that's connected maybe perhaps in
just making four, but one having the thing, the others might still be
linked in some way. Brat turns to Jill Din and she's sitting down.
Yes. He stalks up to her, and there's anger in his eyes,
and he gets close to her and he grabs her shoulder and he says,
what is wrong with you? Do you not care? I'm just drunk with
me, medding with powers you know nothing about. We don't have a choice.
It's even a metal. Always have choices. Don't be ridiculous. I
choose not to partake. Why you don't trust us? I don't trust your
God. You're angels. I don't want any part of what they offer.
I didn't chuse to be here. There's the only choice I didn't have.
So you'd rather die and the world die along with you. You think that
is the only thing that could happen should I not partake in your folly?
The only thing that could happen is RE died that I die. You are
smart chances I think it's far more likely that we fail and the world comes
to a burning end. What happened to you what happened to me? I
did? It was a one changing through all of this, I haven't done
anything other than what I am doing now since I first met you. Look
at you, and I stand up despite the hand on my shoulder. It
gets to my feet. If only there was a mirror in here, so
you met to see yourself. Yeah, like, he gets more angry and
he shakes her. You're going to let everything burn because there's some stupid thing
that happened in your past that no one else cares about. Right, you're
so sure of everything, aren't you. I had so much faith in you,
you know, and you understanding how all of this works following you or
all of these things just seem to keep inside their own head. Perhaps I
was mistaken, Perhaps I should We were mistaken to trust you. Perhaps whoever
chose you was mistaken to bring you into this. Well that's enough. If
I hadn't been here, I don't think many of you would still be here
either. Perhaps you should bear that in mind. Right, she has appointing
track letter. Go and he says, we make braces, bracelet races,
and I go and get that mold. Let's ship back down. So you're
going for bracers or bracelets, break brace bengals. We're making bangles from the
hit video game series on a fantasy specifically Final Fantasy seven. Okay, let
me just look up Final Fantasy Sevin brace bangles, because this is what it's
going to actually look like the end of it. I'm going to try and
find the most dwarven looking one. I can no, it's just the titanium
bangle from Ramac is what this is going to look like. This is what
the moment is the most that is it? Right there? Perfect? Yeah?
All right? Like an energy vampire. Just listening to this conversation,
you see a little purple steam rise off me and then embrace me as I
heal myself at three times by monk level with wholeness of body. All right,
hmm, this is getting out of hand. You can do that now,
yes, I honestly, way to God. I have no idea what
you fork can do. I have not looked at any of your characters.
I only will find out when you do the things that you can now do.
The party is now level seven. By the way, I should mention
this, I discovered a a spell called Gift of Alacrity. I'll put it
in the chat here. Uh so every eight hours, I'm going to cast
this spell of myself. So essentially never I only have three level one spell
spots now, and so I get to roll in additional one D eight for
my initiation. Sure, yeah, I'm by me time, mage, whatever
you say, you do? Yeah, you do? Yeah? Okay.
The first well, the second check I would like you to make here is
an alchemy based check. Do you have experience with alchemy? Yes? I
do, and I have a potion maker's lab. It is one of my
It's one of the things I studied under Odd in the Tower. Okay,
Now, this is is to understand when it happens, how you want to
be mixing this blood with the other ingredients. The blood is, you're replacing
water in the forging process here with the magical blood here. But you also
need to understand that there are metallic buckets that are attached to chains that you
can have discovered over the eight hours or so that you've already been here,
which will allow you to bring up some of this blood. How did you
first attempt to interact with an interface with this blood if you have yet,
I'm not sure that we have interacted with this blood. Yeah, Okay,
Bibble. At some point whips up this chain, grabs a bucket of this
blood and just starts scooping it out with his hand and is like throwing it
on the ground and watching it as it kind of moves around. And this
blood moves around really bizarrely. When it hits the ground. It's like watching,
you know, the effect of mercury when you watch mercury, and it's
just bizarre to witness the blood does that. It doesn't congeal exactly, It
just sort of turns into a sort of thicker version of itself. But it
loses very quickly after it's been pulled upwards and poured out from the river.
It loses the glow and the light element to it, and it does look
more like traditional sort of just you know, deep red crimson blood. But
the way it moves is strange. It's kind of stays together and moves in
that kind of odd metallic mercury mercurial way. He however, does explain to
you Thrack over the course of the night that you should never touch this blood
with your open hands, you shouldn't drink it, you shouldn't really even mess
with it too much. But then he goes and does it himself. Doesn't
drink it, but he moves it and just touches it with his hands and
then kind of just like shakes his hands off and wipes it down himself,
as if he were just messing with a river. So take with that,
take however you want. But that is something that you've witnessed. You're now
you're aware that you can you can do this thing. And if you just
in case you guys were wondering, it's called the Leyden Frost effect, just
because I'm basically I'm really smart and I knew that off the top of my
head, and Maya didn't type in hour chat, but Rommy, and this
is just an intelligence check I was saving through, just an int check for
your I think your general understanding of how to approach the alchemy element of this.
Two successes for you so far, well, actually, you know,
I'm going to give you three successes because you all found all the molds.
So you're in three successes so far. All right, uh So, the
forging process for forging a a bangle is pretty simple, but you will need
to light this forge. You are in this unused and abandoned forge at the
moment which you will need to figure out how to activate light and get to
the appropriate heat that you need it to, which is very hot. Will
say so as not to be too annoying, but you do have to get
it really hot. You need to find fuel and you need to ignite this
thing, which I'm going to guess everyone helps you to do. And I'm
going to give you bibble as well. Who's going to give you a plus
ten to the end of this? Can everyone as a group unless Jilden,
are you not helping? That's fine, but let me know no, I
will help. I just don't want to carry any of this. I don't
want any of us. I will help for somebody else. Yeah, I
mean, you guys need to find solid fuels, coal, charcoal, that
kind of thing here. So that is a survival check, a group survival
check, and it is a set of fifty. You have a plus ten
to your final role twenty nine class nineteen. That's twenty nine forty forty eight
plus ten. Right, Yeah, we about fifty eight. That's a success.
It doesn't count as your successes against the thing, but it is that
you find fuel because without this you just simply wouldn't have been able to do
it the worst check of all of them, which is why I gave your
plus ten the most dangerous one. Yeah, a little while is spent here
as each of you maneuvers around and finds coal. Eventually, I think what
you do is you find a store of coal that has remained, and you're
able to sort of source coal and and ignite the forge. After what you
would presume to be hundreds of years since this thing has been lit, it
finally lights up again. Now as this thing begins to reach the appropriate temperature,
you need to regulate the heat, which means one of you during this
process needs to become the person who regulates the heat by adjusting airflow and fuel
and just be in charge of that. Who thrank would you designate to do
that? Would you say this is a task that requires more strength and more
dexterity. What this does is it removes someone from further check any group checks.
They simply become someone who's on the bellows and they are simply in charge
of continually refueling the forge. You can choose bibble for this task, but
I will remind you of this bibble might be insane. He's definitely in bread
and possibly I wouldn't rely on anything extends more dance, so I would use
theeald in for this. Okay, Kilden takes a nice little seat next to
the forge here has warm in here, and yeah, you're just on the
bellows and you're in charge of maintaining the heat intensity or the process of bringing
these bangles. Then you find then you need to find some metal. So
the remaining members need to see what metal can be found here. The type
of metal that you end up forging this out of is is really not going
to do a huge amount aside from you know, essentially, if you roll
really high here, you might make it out of adamantium, which potentially could
give you a boost in ac Other than that, it really just determines what
you're going to make it out of. So this is a group check of
This is another survival check, but it's just the three of you that remain
figuring it out. Okay, com what's the check survival? Oh, the
DC DC is forty. It's thirty nine, but it's not really it's it's
it's forty to find. It's forty for it to become something good. And
if you all roll really high, it became it's forty is iron, then
it's steel, then it's tungsten. So we've got pig metal. Then in
that case got pig metal, which is gold. Right we wanted to be
made out of gold? Or no, gold's pretty soft? Right? Would
I potentially be able to use my time stuff to let seriously? Role,
is this the stage at which you would like to use one of those we
failed? Otherwise? Well, you don't fail. This won't This won't affect
Just to be completely clear, this won't affect much of the outcome other than
what it's made of. So I see, so a forty is iron is
what these things will be made out of, which is a strong angle.
Underneath that is gold and bronze. I think with that right down gold bronze,
big metal seems to be written here now above that. So once you
start going above that, it's titanium, steel, tungsten, adamantium, adamantium.
That's a completely different and then vibranium is at the top. We've all
got twenties. Yeah, if you've got twenties, I would have later been
made out of vibranium. It would have been really light. I'd have given
you a plus one to decks and a plus one too. I say,
so, really this was a matter of smashing this to be able to make
it out of I think I'll give you a yeah, okay, well I
guess then now I guess we'll make it out of what we can make it
out of, as long as it's not going to affect the magical ponentcy.
This is if you, guys, smash it out of the park. You
could have made it out of adamantine, which would have given you an automatic
plus one to your AC yea, everyone nice, But that's okay? Okay,
So you have your choice of gold or bronze or silver, some of
the softer metals you can float ideas of what you finds go to the bard.
Yep. Okay, So this bangle will be made of silver, is
what it is. It's not necessarcessarily a fail to beat the DC. It's
just that it's material that you find, and you do find some. You're
able to find some silver ore. And again this isn't like you're minding it.
This is just you find a store of it, you know, and
you're able to find enough of it that you think this will probably make Are
you trying to make four or five bangles. It's interesting that you said five.
There there's five of you in the room. There's five of us.
He's not cure, it's not. But he was extremely excited that you were
going to forge something. And he's been walking around and helping you and taking
part in all of the conversations that you've been having. And he comes over
with a silver chunk of silver awe for you, and he's just he's just
involved as if he's part of the game. We'll make one for Bella.
You're aiming for five of these, yeah, yeah, okay, all right,
m m. The so you find the the silver here and that gets
placed in the hottest part of the forge here, so that is near the
center of this ridiculously large heating bed and that starts to melt slowly. Now,
you don't have smith's tools or artisans tools, do you anyone in this
group? No? I think we covered it, but I just want to
be sure. No, And no one has a proficiency with those things either.
Nope, No, No, All right, um, and you've got
to find them, you know, OKAINK. The three remaining need to make
me investigation checks and find the items and tools for the job. Here among
the discarded and abandoned ancient tools that exist. You need to cobble together a
smith's tools pack or an artisan's tools pack. Now you've got to be a
DC fourteen. You have a plus five for bibble while we uh proa we
get there. We got twenty four thirty one, thirty six, thirty six
plus the five or before the five, that's plus the five. All right,
so that is I'm wrong on Are you there? I'll let I'm gonna
I'm gonna, can I can I let serious re roll with one of my
one of my things? You may yeah, okay, grew up, It'll
be time spell. I'm waiting for the aggressive sound? Are you going to
play? Play the aggressive sound? Right? Doesn't I have to play the
aggressive sound? Everyone's just standing around like I think we need missing there you
go, okay, thank god. I felt really not at ease with just
you casting that with those sounds. Sorry, one extra point yeah, continues
to be a fail. Would you like to use another one? You have
two of those? Right? Yeah? I only have one left? Then
no, let this one go fail. So what you don't have? I
was going to give you a smith's tools pack or an artisan's tools pack if
you did successfully find them all. You find some of the tools that you
need for this, enough to possibly forge something, but not enough that you
feel like that you could do any of maybe some of the precision work that
you were after. I'm not going to say exactly what the tools are here
and there, but I mean you have an anvil that's already a part of
it. You find maybe tongs, you find maybe a large metal dish,
and you find a hammer of sorts. You can keep these items. These
are Darrow forged items. So you have some of the smith's tools pack,
but you don't have everything that you need to really create a master work.
You're probably not going to be able to do it without these tools. Maybe
somebody who you know, Ha, Torri hands I might be able to work
with these and create the greatest, you know, the warf and blade blade
of all time. But you are a you are going you're sort of a
nube here, Okay, and now we move on to the forge work.
The first thing that you need to do throughout is an insight check, and
this is for your ability to attune to the essence of the angelic shard that
this is for you to understand and it's desire and therefore it's purpose. Yeah,
I would ask serious to do that. Okay, it's just one person
rolling, I mean yeah, are you not the one doing the forging when
it comes to it, you might? Can't we all do it together?
We are curer kind of Well, you're the person who had the knowledge of
forging, because you would read it in a book. You know, only
Stark was able to build these bangles with a box of scraps in a cave.
Okay, that's me, all right, you're that guy screaming at Cyrus.
Stop yelling. I mean, but you do have a buck of scraps.
I got a nine? A nine? Kay? Is your second fail?
The understanding this shard's desires is very hard to do. Reading what this
thing wants to become, how this thing can be applied to its purpose in
the most efficient way, just too difficult for you to understand. You.
I feel like that's rather important. Would you do you want to use your
time bullshit here? I mean, essentially, you just can't make out what
this thing is trying to I think that's very important, son. I'm gonna
try again. I'm gonna think harder, okay, and I'm going to use
the power of friendship and cure, which gives me an inspiration. Point right,
I see, m h, what are you after? Something better?
Attend is? Uh is better? Thank you? It's still glad I wasted
both of us. You wish the better now it's still a fail, but
I will give you this what you you learn through the through the attempt at
understanding this desire. And then also because this is from your perspective, you
remember the fail and the reattempt, so you you go back before you know,
because you're running out of time, the heat the metal's going in that
you start to attune to this thing before you begin to apply it and truly
forge one of these bangles and place this thing into one of the you know,
the slots or slot it into where you'd like it to be in this
finished product. You do in that process learn that this is from the condor,
not from the bore. Okay. Its desire and its purpose is something
around psychic magic energy. Okay, that's where this thing will work. So
for example, mechanically speaking for us, that translates to it would do some
sort of psychic damage or it would guard against some sort of psychic damage.
Effectively, that's how it can be used and utilized in its most effective way.
There are other things that are lost to you though, that you don't
get the knowledge of how this thing can be applied. But essentially, however,
however, Thrack interprets that that is what he's able to pull from this
thing. Now, I need a concentration check, which is, as we
know, a constitution saving throw just from me or this is now the true
forging process, and what you are doing now is forging. However, you
must maintain intense focus throughout this forging process. You need to resist the overwhelming
magical energies that are going to be at play as you begin to actually forge
the metal. You shape and work the metal. Now, once it's reached
its desired temperature, Bibble brings over buckets of this blood casually, as if
it's not the blood of an angel. You know, he's just bringing this
thing over like it's just nothing to him, and he begins sort of pouring
it into areas, and you know, you are aware of when you need
to apply cool and quench the metal. As you begin to actually forge these
bangles using the molds, using the silver, using the blood, and your
abilities what your understanding of it, as well as the few tools that you
were able to the actual process has begun here, and the first thing you
need to do is concentrate throughout the entire process as if you were concentrating on
a spell. And if anyone had the ability to increase my ability to concentrate
during this time, they would probably do that right totally. Ah, it's
a good question if someone has the ability to do that, Ah, upon
immediate checking. Give me a second, because I have to go through all
of my stuff now to find I think you do. I think you have
a Yeah, I have something. I have things that saving throw. Yeah,
I can do things for don't you have a wonderful thing? Yes,
it's an ability check or saving throw makes okay, So I cast emboldening bond
upon us. All all right, Well I'm at peace with you, so
that will work. You're standing right next to me, and it's a con
save anyway? Do it anyway? Are we any Why? All right?
There are some high you guys are level seven. Now twenty one isn't as
high as you think it is anymore. Everything that you've ever known about d
n d oh we beat it with a ten is out the window. You
guys need to start. You want to be aiming for thirty from now on
in your checks. Well, welcome to high slightly. I can't get thirty
on anything, no, I know, but this is this is where slightly
higher level D and D starts to come into play. So start again.
Items to give us any plusses. Yeah, there's twenty five or one?
Okay, that is a That is a success. You do have You almost
said fail And no, what I almost said was a four because you have
four successes and two fails so far. Oh yeah, okay, so you
have that is a success. That is to maintain your concentration. Now,
you must convince the magical energies to bond with the physical properties of the metal,
right and on one of the bangles, the angelic shard, and it
has to form a cohesive, stable bond at the end of it, the
blood, the magical energy of the blood, the angelic shard, the magical
energy of the shard, the silver, and your own magical you know,
abilities and energies have to make a whole. Right, how do you do
that? And what check do you think it is? Oh? Well,
I would I would certainly tap into some sort of arcane. You know,
resonance that's coming from both the River Angel, the shard of the Angel,
and the hall oscess. So I think it would be arcana. Okay to
me, Yeah, our kana check then please okay? Twenty two last three
so twenty five, twenty five. It is also a persuasion check. Make
me a persuasion check. Ooh a twelve fluzz of one. No, it's
it is also a wisdom saving throw. Oholases are fifteen fifteen, So at
twenty five which is a success, a thirteen which is a fail, and
a fifteen which is a makes it breaks its success. That is a total
success. So you get that is a success as a whole. You needed
to out of three, man, I frighteningly wrote down whatever check they want,
and the persuasion check and a wisdom saving throw. And I was like,
if they try and fall on their sword here and they're like, I
think even though I'm not good at it, it's a stealth role or you
know, I was like, and I was like, my strongest then please,
I'm glad that you did choose arkana, because I think that that was
a good way to do it. Backs keep punching it in the fine final
check yeah is oh no, it's not the final check. Sorry, hold
them. You need to make me an athletics check. I missed one.
I didn't miss one. I just didn't. I haven't done it. Second
to last check is an athletics check. This is just the physical forging.
It's terrible, terrible role because you do have to forge this metal into and
shape this metal physically. That is a nine on your athletics check, which
is a fail awful role. Yeah. Yeah, these are going to look
a little more crude and a little more rudimentary than you. Like an orc
made this. It's like an orc was trying to make dwarven bangles. However,
all we've got more successes than failure us. Right now, I like
to remind of everyone you do, Yeah, you do. The last check
is a nature check, and this is simply to understand the natural balance of
the world and how the infusion of this magical blood and angelic shod may disrupt
it. Are twenty nine, Oh, smashed it. Six successes, three
fails, makes this overall a partial success. Okay, there was a full
success, partial sourcess, mostly fails, and all fails. That was the
different outcomes the full success would have been a success on every single role.
Oh I would have been there. Okay, the thing that would have come
out that would have been game breaking, the nice BM justifiably game breaking.
You would have you would have literally thought you would have stepped back from the
bangal and realized that you had created an ion cannon from command and comoun with
full target to anywhere on the planet. Okay, so you've tried to have
silver bangles. One has the angelic. All right, well, tune in
next week to find out what you guys made, because yeah, it's time.
There's time. These are calling down now, Okay, yeah, as
they called down, who would like to make the perception check? Not me?
I'm focusing on this. I mean, if it's the safety safety check,
then I'm I guess I'm still attempted. When there's a children was to
make because she was around, I'm just to make it two jildren. During
this process, there's been a lot of noise. There's a lot of bizarre
things going on. He's hitting this metal, he's pouring this blood over it.
There's this this bone shard that is carefully placing in to one of the
silver molds, and it is it's creating a bizarre sort of field of energy
around this forge. You're able all of you to sense that it's it's strange.
You start to almost get that sensation of how it felt near the condor,
almost a vibration to the air. There is sort of like a channeling
happening here. There is a drawing of energy, and there is a lot
of noise and heat being generated. Jilden. Some of the blood that is
just kind of around here is moving in a bizarre way, and you recognize,
as Brack is kind of working on one of these bangals, that it's
starting to pull together, like that scene at the end of the Terminator when
all the terminator mercury really comes together. Some of the blood is moving across
the room and coming together, and then it starts to slowly weave its way
across the floor towards you as a group. What do you do, Jilden.
That shouldn't be happening. H I reach out and try and pokest here
with my stuff. Hey interesting that seeing what And I point my staff towards
the blood that is soly trickling and naturally So Yeah, there is definitely some
bizarre there are like two patches of blood that have coalesced and is now kind
of moving very very slowly. It's almost imperceptible, but it is moving towards
you. And once you sort of recognize it, you realize there are two
pools of blood that are moving towards the area of the forge where Thrack is
working with everyone's kind of working around it. I take my staff and I
kind of push people towards it and say, people, this is your kind
of stuff, isn't it? Oh? What blood? Hey, you want
some? I'll get you some. Hold on going towards the pools of blood
coming towards us. What's he's moving? Is that moving? Yes? I
was hoping it wasn't that's not good? What do you mean it's not good?
It's your angel moving. Isn't that not a good thing? Not when
you take it up and away from the liver. I suppose I'll just go
on, go go check it's all right. Go on, just go and
give it a cack with my staff. He's like he's like dragging you.
He's like he's holding on to you like a child. Hold onto one of
your legs. Let's go together. I try and fling him towards it with
few we'll go together over I dip a finger into one of the blood posts,
all right, make me saving the one thing, this little hold on
eleven what sorry? Before anything else, I just need to double check the
emboldening bond. Still, well, it lasts for ten minutes, Kilden part
of the emboldening bond. Surely it would have worn off. I know I
am not that. Oh yeah, it's been it's been multiple hours. Okay,
I'm bonded with Syrus. I'm not maybe a piece with rack. Actually
no, children doesn't care. Children's aiece everyone, all right at this point,
frak might not be a piece with harboring to the on that one.
Now, let's say Sere and Bibble are here and Jilden is over here.
That'd be fair to say, d you're all a little further rout. Okay,
we'll put one there, and we'll put one Yeah, and I would
like some initiatives. Please now face to bloody oozes. There's an initiative score
of zero. So you are going to hate me for the rest of the
campaign because you I have to add a one dye? Can I Is there
a way I can do that? On the sheet but automatically add to one.
Yeah, you a little cogwheel and it will give you an initiative modifier
thing on there somewhere with the zero. You just dive in and become the
US AH roll their initiatives separably. I think I would also roll to zero.
It also rolls a zero. Heay, the many stereo contested what is
that strength? It's whoever has the higher Dex score. These things have a
Dex score of six. I've got minus two. That's the same. What
is your six? Okay, yeah, we can do a contested role.
Just make a dex check sixteen fourteen. It will go first. Yeah,
I can't figure this out. So look initiative modifier four at the moment.
So you want oh I see it now? Yeah, so you add eight
to that eight every time. Oh you roll a D eight. Oh in
that case, yeah, you'll just have to. So you can roll your
roll your initiative. Then roll a D eight and you can adjust your own
number there. So you just click on the number on the left in the
turn order. So you had that, you go overall. But I can
change it, Yeah I can, okay, perfect, I'll just do that
every time I can. Okay, uh, first up is bib Oh wait,
no, we have to resolve children's thing. You rolled me a dextery
saving throw of yeah you're higher. No no, no, this was before.
When you touchdown, M eleven is a fail. So here's what happens.
The first thing that happens here is Jilden becomes engulfed by the So this
thing moves suddenly much quicker, not fast necessarily, but quicker. Oozes are
a creature that is able to engulf you. And if you've seen the D
and D movie, it's a big gelatinous cube is one of them. It's
that kind of thing. But this is just this is a lot. This
thing is much bigger than it appeared. Its size grows, and room slimes
up and engulfs Jilden. Sow. Jilden is now inside of what looks like
red jelly, and it's a big enormous amount of red jelly. The other
one suddenly starts moving around as well. Think carnage MCU is the way these
things are kind of moving around. There are like whips that come out them
of these kind of blood pseudopod whips that come out, and this thing absorbs
or engulfs you immediately Jilden. So let's see on a failed save, the
use enters the creature's space and the creature takes as much damage. Mm hmmm
fifteen acid damage. You are engulfed, you can't breathe, you are restrained
the restrained condition, and you will take acid damage at the start of each
of the Oozeskay, I use themselves elements. Yep, you can do that.
If the use moves, you move with it, and you can try
and escape by making using an action to make a strength check and escape on
your turn. Okay, cool, all right, First, Bibbel, is
what Bibble's gonna do? Bibbel looks around. I think cyrus. Yeah,
you have a high a C right, you have a I do? Yeah,
what is it? Sixteen? Seventeen? Is that seventeen? What is
it? Why is your AC so high? Do you have armor on?
Or is it more deck based? So the way AC works is that it
takes into account either your armor if you're wearing like a suit of armor,
yeah, like alphons, you're just a big armored creature, that's your AC,
or there's decks. So dex is also like dodging out of the way.
It counts as your AC. How do you look armored? Not exceptionally
No, okay, I think Bibbil is going to past one of his abilities.
Here he moves his staff around, and the blood that is in the
sort of eye of the orb in his staff here starts sloshing out. This
doesn't have like an open top or anything. It just suddenly starts spouting out
through the glass in the air. It forms into three blood bubbles that move
over, one towards Cyrus, one towards Thrack, and one about himself.
And then these bubbles engulf you as well, similar to what the use is
doing. A huge bubble kind of wraps itself around you and then settles on
your skin. So to us it would look like you just had a film
of red bubble blood across you, not like a sonic bubble circle, but
like it's layered onto you. He says, do not be alarmed. I
just will protect This gives you a plus two to your AC that lasts five
minutes. Oh yeah, he says, if you don't want it, I
can move it, and then he points to Jilden but glances at Sea.
It's called Bibble's bloody guard, and then he steps back, give it sorry,
said, Bibble's bloody bib, Yeah, bloody bib is better. Yeah,
okay, can he can he? Sorry, he pointed at Jilden.
Does that indicate that he can send it over to Jilden? Yes, but
he also looks like, give me an insight check real quick. Serious?
Oh yep, Bibble's blood bubble is twenty one. He absolutely believes that Jildin
is already dead. He's given up on that. Holy yeah, she just
got eaten by blood that came up out of nowhere and just engulfed her.
He thinks she's already dead. He's just trying to say that those that remain
again, he has that sort of indifference to death right, that sort of
bizarre like he does want to preserve himself and he does try and you know,
survive and kill things like trying to kill him. But there's a bizarre
sort of indifference to death that he has. But you get the sense that
he's like, oh, she's a lost cause. So he backs up a
little bit. It is now see his turn. Okay, I see yielding
in golf. Whether's bloody? Who's and I see this other one manifest just
beside it. I feel as if anything I do to this thing in front
of me is going to might potentially harm her, and so I may make
haste and move five ten, fifteen feet to this other one over here,
and then I'm going to swing at it with my my angelic staff, this
angel oak stick, and with an nineteen to hit nineteen will hit the seven
points of bluttling damage. I'm going to invoke my crusher feet here. And
I feel as if it's like when you swing at like a let's say,
like a non utonian liquid, like a custard or something, you know,
like it gets harder than you know when you hit it, it gets harder
and more solid. I want to try and push it five feet away from
me using my crusher feet back into the ooze. Yep, Okay, do
I have to make a check? Um? Do you have to make a
check? Let me double check myself. Um, you can move five feet
unknockpied space, no more than one size larger than you. Nope, no
checks necessary, Just have to hit all right? Yes, it it goes
back. You see it pushed back the ooze is bizarre. It's just it's
not just a bigger morphous blob. It kind of ripples. You see the
force of your strike ripple through it, and it kind of folds over itself
backwards. As it folds off the edge, it very easily sticks to the
side of the thing. This thing has a climb speed, so you'd have
to clear it off the edge to really push it into the blood. It
can kind of goop stick immediately, you know Nickelodeon gack stick to the side,
which it does. So this thing is essentially like an l bracket right
now over the edge and crawling back up towards you after you do that.
Okay, in that case, I push the attack and I swing at it
again with my quarter staff for a twenty one to hit bat it or ten
more points of blustering damage. And then I am once again going to channel
my key points, my eyes glow and neon pink, and I'm going to
try and do an open hand strike at the creature twenty three to hit twenty
three hits. You see that I actually did contact it. And then after
this hit happens, I'm then going to push my hand even further. It's
going to be a bit of an air part, like an air wave emanating
from my hand as I try once again to move this thing. It now
needs to succeed a strength saving throw and also take ten points of blodding damage.
Okay, saving for as a natural twenty. I'm sorry, No,
it's all good. I can't believe that this was the account in which I
roll really really well and not king Makers. I'm going to strike at it
again with my last attack, which is only going to be an eleven to
hit. That's more misses. Okay, I then take two steps back.
It can't take any reactions because I did my open hand strike on it.
Okay, crack it is your term. Yeah, I'm going to slow them
so I can slow in a forty foot cube, which I'm assuming I can
hit both of them without hitting fielding. Yeah, you can do it,
okay, yeah, well okay, let me just say, I mean they're
bigger than one. They are in there, right? Let me? Are
you doing it again? Slow? Oh? Slow? You're not just designated
creature for slow? Or is it every creature in an area? It's up
to six creatures of my choice in a forty foot cube. Oh then you
just pick them then, Yeah, it doesn't matter. You just always have
my choice. Yeah, do it? Pick whoever inside of but I pick
who Yeah? So it just hits the two bloody oozes and they need to
make a wisdom saving throw twos. So yeah, all the all the things
that happen put it in there, all right, they are slowed? Cool?
Give me a perception check or yeah, do you give me a perception
check? I will do that. I feel like I'm going to be upset
a six because you don't know what's happening. Jildren, Do you want to
give me a perception check with disadvantage because you're like being eaten by this thing,
so it's probably hard to figure out what's going on. Okay, twenty
two? Uh, you recognize that when he hits this creature with a spell,
you know, and you're you're hearing it's not being underwater, right,
you're kind of catching stuff going on. But you recognize that while you are
actively being burned and eating alive wrack outside cast as a spell, and you
recognize it being one of those spells that he cast is slow it. Actually,
you recognize the creature grows a little bit in size when he hits it
with a spell or long right right awesome, but I don't recognize that.
Correct. If you're perceptive enough, you'll see tiny bubbles rising to the surface
and as blood as I try and talk. I got a six so I
can't see anything that isn't like a four degree. You also all know from
history that I can breathe under water. I don't know if this is the
same that I can hold my breath. I can not my breath. That's
the same. Yeah you can, Yeah, you're you're you. You can't
breathe under here, but I can. Yeah, I can't breathe in the
water, sorry, mis book. I can just hold my breath for breath,
So, yeah, you're you're fine from the breath element or holding your
breath element of this for sure. I'm not sure if we knew this mm
hmm, because but just for the fact the pre sessions we did do an
underwater savement in which I went underwater. Okay, so the a C is
now minus two dexys criticisms and dex thirty saving throwers minus two to a C
and dex saving throws. Can't use reactions when it's turning. Can either use
an action or a bonus action of both. We'll figure out the rest another
time. Okay, you're doing anything else to tack, yes, Can I
move over this right here? Do I can go around it? No,
you can kind of free him move around this map as long as it's not
like the big red chunk carriers. Right, okay, five time, fifteen,
I'll move here. Okay, all right, bloody use orange designation.
Let's see. Yeah, I guess we'll just do this here. Make me
a deck saving throw, A DECKX saving throw coming right here? Fourteen?
What teen is a fail? Maybe this is unbelievable. This is your thing?
Do you have a plus seven to that? I do have the plus
every today? Okay, you become engolved by the other one, the same
thing. This thing just like rushes up over the edge and like it's like
a wave of water rushing towards you, and then it lifts up and crashes
down. We see see a kind of tried a movie does his like dexterous
movement. But I think this thing's just weird, right. It probably just
moves in such an alien way that you just don't predict where it's going to
go, and it rushes around you and you are slimed. You need to
make me a oh nothing of failed to save you? Do this one.
There's a lot of text for this one. Move by the way, which
is why I'm always reading. You take thirteen acid damage okay, and again
you are also restrained. You can use an action on your turn to make
a strength check, and at the start of the creature's turn, it's going
to deal more damage to you. Okay. I believe this damage is half
to begin with because I have evasion, which I put there in chat.
It says at seventh level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the
way of certain effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a fireball
spell. When you're subjected to an effect that allows you to make a deck
saving throw to take only half damage, you insta to take no damage if
you succeed the saving throw, or only half damage if you fail. So
I take half damage. Normally i'd allow that, but I feel like it's
not the case here because this isn't an area of effect that's happening, you
know, like, this is just you're engulfed by it, and it's the
this thing is burning you because of its acidic body. M okay, yeah,
almost any other way, I think because evasion is unbelievable. I had
it on tire and it's so broken. It's wonderful. But I don't think
this is a thing that you're evading. I don't think this is an area
effect ability. Okay, because I'm inside it and then it corrodes me.
So yeah, I think that that's what's happening here, whereas fireball is like
you make a deck save to avoid the explosion, or a breath weapon,
which is like a line and stuff. So yeah, I'm going to say
I'm gonna I'm gonna wax Stephen and GM of doom you on that. I
appreciate it. I think you can't evasion that one. Serious. It's your
turn. Yeah. First I'm going to tell Bibble put the put the put
the armored on them, and I point to Jorden and sere really yes,
yes, all right, And then I'm going to move forward here to the
end of this. Oh the um should work who uh no, I should
actually move right here, and I'm going to uh use my channel divinity bomb
of peace. I always think a bomb of peace, by the way,
like bomb, no bomb, like a nuclear bomb. Oh, bomb of
peace. Yeah, this is my straight nuke of peace. Uh and uh,
I can restore a number of hit points to creatures of my choice equal
to two D six plus my wisdom modifier. And yeah, healing only once
whenever you take this action, so you each get two D six. Hold
on, you be six plus or ten healing for each of you. And
then I'm just gonna double check something. So sanctuary is a bit of a
tough one because it doesn't protect the warded creature from area effects such as the
explosion of a fireball. Would the acid damage that this thing is giving off
would that be considered an area effect? I would assume so no, Well,
so sanctuary. Wait, let me double check what this does. This
is the thing where they have to make a whiz save or it takes a
new talk. Yeah, I can put it in the chat us. Yeah,
I mean it would work. It wouldn't work from them taking acid damage
since they're already in there. They're just passively taking damage after the attack has
already been made. Whereas this is any creature who targets the water creature with
an attack or harmful spell. Yeah, they're no longer being targeted. But
if say they get out and they tried again, then it would count.
Yes, yeah in that Okay, sorry, go ahead, valuable Yeah,
yeah, I think in that case there is in that case. Sorry,
go ahead. If I do get out, I will attack it. And
if I do attack it, then the sanctuary spell will dispel itself as well,
just to be sure, right exactly? Okay, all right, I'm
gonna using my bonus action or cast sanctuary on children. Okay, end of
your turn. Yes, that is the end of my turn. Thank you
agree. First thing we'll do is jilden. You are subjected to damage.
It is six D six acid damage twenty two. It is half because I
still have resistance thanks to absorb elements. Okay, yeah, that stays up
for how long my next turn to start my turn? Okay, right,
yeah, you haven't had a tourne yet. Okay, yeah, So you
take half of that damage, and then this creature is going to try and
engulf serious as well. Make me a dexterity savings throw serious. Oh actually,
I'm gonna move here with it. Dig dang it. You're in as
well. So the first thing that happens is you take fifteen acid damage and
you are engulfed as well. Umm, you are restrained take damage. On
the start of it's turned, it moves, you move and you can try
and escape with a strength check at the start of your turn. Slimed,
okay, Jilden, now it's your turn. It is I cast water walk.
It grants the ability to move across any liquid surface such as water,
acid, mud, snow, quickstand, or lava, et cetera, as
if it were harmless solid ground. Importantly, if you will target a creature
submerged, a liquidly spelled carries a target to the surface of the liquid at
a rate of sixty feet per round. I target all three of us.
Oh, you watch it as I. I just step upwards and out of
the slide and then down the side of it and walk away from it.
Just just god tear like the last episode. In this episode, like the
craziest God your strats, dude. So yeah, yeah, there's no way
that you can do this in any orthodox game of D and D. I
think it's sick. So you care, and you can cast this to up
to ten willing creatures, so you can just get everyone in thirty feet yep,
so everybody around me can Oh my gosh, really yep. At the
every round sixty feet upwards, so you'll just go up to the top.
Why would a traditional game say no, I mean that seems pretty clear to
me. Well, because your your your speed is zero, so even if
you have water walk, you can't actually move moving. The spell is carrying
you upwards, and then you're moving. When you're no longer grandpled, you're
going breath and then moving. It's like a liberty spell. When you're inside
liquid. The spell carries the target through the surface of the liquid at a
rate of you're not moving, your speed are still zero, but you're being
moved. I still think that you're grappled technically, which means you're being held,
but I'm allowing it. I'm not I'm you would be grappled with that
restraint correct, but I think that's what the the ooze is actually doing with
you. But allow it. This is for YouTube to argue there is sweating,
get all theations on this. In the morning, I feel like there's
no way this would work. But I think it's dope. I think rule
of call is so this is so much more interesting. I love the way
that the way that you wrap this out, the way you pulled this out
and you just slide up to the front and slide down the side of it.
I think it's sick. So this is what happened. You definitely do
that and the other two have it? Yeah? Did children't walk away for
real? Um? Yep? Actually free though doesn't have a reaction because it
doesn't have a reaction. Oh damn. Okay, I was like, did
she really? Plus I have a sanctuary, so that would have helped you.
True planning it, don't worry. Absolutely smashed it out of the park.
Yeah, me with my a HP. If I hadn't used a little
bells the way, I'd have been down twice over? Did you did you
take did you take the ten that I gave you when I came over with
the bomb? Okay, then I got hit? Was twenty two more?
Yeah? If you had done that, I'd have been down. Oh so
good work. Okay, that was my action. Bonus action. I'm going
to wild shape and two. Uh really, there's not many options. I'm
tied to a swimming creature. Okay, give me a second. There's a
sea lion. I think you should wild shape into a big tortoise to a
magic arm. Oh yeah, you are a secret. That's so crazy.
What a good idea? While you're wild shaping? Bibble is going to move
your bloody god or his bloody bubble onto sea and leave the one on Cyrus,
regardless of her orders. Oh, he takes the one off of thrack
and puts it on sea and leaves the one that's on Cyrus. And so
the bloody guard does. It's a it is a plus two to a C.
Okay, so you have a plus two tier a C. But he
takes it off of Thran, so Thrank you no longer have it. And
then I think he steps back a little bit because he doesn't like these things
at all. Yes, I will be your giant boar, okay, because
I am already know giant boar. Or there's so many giant creatures giant bar.
How big are we talking about? The big? Is the giant pretty
technically large? If that's okay? Yeah, that's relivant, thank you,
okay, and then let me just give you access. This is the third
creature. Yes, I actually have not really well shaped into many creatures.
Jilden can be edited by Jilden checked. See if you can move that around?
Yes, Oh, there you go. You are now a giant bore.
H see it is your turn. Okay, well I'm going to PLoP
out to the north inn. In that case, I can't move myself,
thank you. And then I'm going to continue to swing at this thing with
my staff a fifteen to hit than hits the eight points of blushing damage eight
arms of bluttening damage. Correct. I'm then going to try and keep powering
it towards the edge. So down south and south five feet okay, m
I then oh I'm right next, Am I in range of this guy over
here? Yes, sludy, you asked, I am. Okay, it's
a case right, I run down words in that case, So I stay
within range of the other one, and I'm going to swing it in again
with my staff or twenty five to hit, twenty five hits or six points
of bluzzling damage. Yeah, and then the open hand onslaught of my h
flurry of blows, but the twelve to hit off is miss. And then
I spin for another flurry of blows for nine to hit mess. All right,
well damn, I say, and wait to be engulfed again. Okay,
brack ah. Yeah. I spend my turn staring at the giant ball
next. Oh okay, yeah, I'm just in shock. My mouth is
open and I'm staring at the giant ball. I think and just like memories
are flashing through my mind and I want to say I maybe even get a
little pissed off. Okay, deck save, please see you. No one
likes the ball, all right? Uh BESA coming right up nineteen Okay,
on the successful sade, you can choose to be pushed five feet back on
the side of the us, so that is what happens. You may move,
Okay, you can actually move anywhere around that thing if you want.
I choose to be moved to the side of the use. Yeah, put
yourself where you want to really fine, serious, Yeah, this thing just
like the rooom, and you dodge out of the way of it, it
blobs over towards you and moves to one side. Cyrus's turn. Okay,
I can get out right because of the spell that correct is that affecting me?
Also, yeah, you float up to the top of it and you
can slide down the side of it like Jilden did. It will last an
hour, by the way, so if you get engulfed again, it will
continue. In fact, I don't think you could even be in gulf now
because it is solid ground to you at this point. So I'm literally so
cool, literally, Opie strat clutch. Okay, Can I ask if if
anyone else has noticed that when you use spells on this thing that it like?
Can I see if I've noticed that? None? Because no one to
spell on it since the last time, right, Dilden was the only one.
Also, I think my concentration was broke, so I don't think slow
was on them anymore. Okay, in that case, Uh, this sucks,
but I don't I don't think I have thought of any other options here.
I'm going to uh cast inflict wounds on it. Whoa, Okay,
Okay, I'm okay. Uh that's yeah, So that much damage cost a
higher level? Yes, I cast it at a level two, right,
so it does. I've literally got no idea how much that is? Eighteen
all of those numbers together fourteen plus seven plus nine at eight damage is not
the most damage that someone's done in one turn so far. We should count,
We should like keep it tally of that, as fireball might have done
similar at one point. But serious is terrifying. Mm hmm, alright,
when I when I do hit right audio eight damage, Okay, this thing
wells in size, so oh, I'm going to guess it's going to get
that in HP, isn't it No, Okay, it's not getting it.
It is regaining HP whenever you hit it with the spell though. H So
that is that amount? All right? Umm? Fifteen feet ten feet away?
You're within ten feet of it. Um, make me a deck saving
throw, please, cyrus? Okay? Eighteen eighteen? All right, So
you're only going to take a half of the damage that comes from this.
Uh. When you do this, you sort of inflict wounds. Your hands
probably just turned black. You know, this horrible arcane energy spreads out and
affects this creature. It absorbs some of the magic and then releases it in
a chaotic burst, and it deals for the eight orce damage you got,
Lucky horse damage. You only take half of that because you made a successful
deck save. So you take or you are now aware that could have been
still, Yeah, that could have been terrible. Don't use spells your turn?
What's still your turn? You're doing anything? Yeah? Okay, I
would like to. I guess I can't. It would have opportunity attack on
me, right if I try to move away? Yeah, I think that's
it. I don't think I can disengage. So God, it was so
bad? Yeah? Do I risk taking the opportunity attack chance versus taking the
definite hit. Next turn, I'm gonna run. I'm gonna try and get
away from it. Okay, as you move, one of the strings of
slime whip out towards you in an attempt to your attack. Remember you have
a plus two to your A C for an eleven. That's going to be
a miss. You duck underneath it. It whips over your head and you
dash and run away into whichever direction and wherever you want to go. I
want to go over here, thank you. Thing's gonna chase you, though,
because it's it's turned now again natural one. Roll me a D twenty
place. It is going to suffer the wrath of my fifteen. Prick fails
a fifteen, Rob me a D six. It's going to injure itself for
that amount. I think the pseudo pod just breaks off and still two.
It takes two damage, which I guess comes out of this. Okay,
uh jild in your turn in bore form, I take a few steps back
and then go charging towards this m I think, do I still get the
added melee damage from the absorb elements or does that dissipate because I didn't melee
last time? Um, let's find out absorb the elements when you cast it.
Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next
turn, the target takes extra onedy six and then you still got it.
Okay, cool, I guess you can install that indefinitely or I guess mhmerhops.
Yeah, I mean so that would be a comment is going to have
an absolute fifteen misses. I'm afraid if slowers up, it wouldn't have done.
Oh have you just bounce into it? What's that big? That big
inflatable? My hero Academia character when everyone just what's his name? Oh,
that's what happens when everyone tries to attack him and he just bounces him back
out. Same and as an X Man villain, Yeah, the boer.
I'm going to use my bonus action to a region. A wonder hip points
to myself. That's for and then I'm gonna back away, absorbing any tack
of opportunity. O. Great, it doesn't have one. It's used.
It's attack of opportunity. Did it not reset on his turn? Yeah?
It does, thank you? All right. I was waiting for a new
round for some reason because it's getting late and I'm tired it missed anyway.
Yeah, all right, Bibble Bibbles, all of his blood moves probably aren't
going to work, and he's aware of it. Um uh, you know
what, you know what I might have him try and do. No,
I won't. Oh, I won't, I won't do that. He can't
do these things. Yeah, he can't really hurt them. I mean,
he has had a long rest. He could do a kamehameha again, roll
the D two because he's scared of them, he doesn't like them. How
he's gonna do it? Caame Let's see a DC twelve dex check from both
of them, one two, a fail, and a make for thirty three.
A kameha maha goes off again. Just a huge line of arcane energy
fires out of the end of the of Bibble's staff. It's a ridiculous spell
that it doesn't seem like he should be capable of, and yet he is
able to do so. An he deals thirty three damage to each of these
things that he does. Tell that one, and he does sixteen to this
one. Nice ah, And then he's got to stand there because he is
scared of Oh no, he doesn't, because he can take opportunity at times
and runs away. See you in your turn. I am going to continue
harrying this creature with my staff. I swing at it once before an eleven,
I swing again or twelve, and then cuss burn another key point,
mark the other ones off, and punched by twenty four. Okay, that
hits eight points of blushing damage. And then I punch again for another twenty
four for six points of bludding damage. And I am just looking really quickly
to see if I can do anything all to this creature that might be useful.
And after wasting all your time, I have realized, no, I
don't. That's my turn. Okay, Thrank your turn. You're able to
tell these things are moving slower. The size of them has been dramatically reduced.
They look, you know, like they're dying for all intents and purposes,
but they are much smaller than they were when they first engulfed children.
And yeah, yeah, so you are so Thracu standing there and he was
sort of dumb struck, and he sees them. He doesn't care about the
things I forgot, yeah, or a ball and h he I think flashes
of images of his clan and his visions that he was having go through his
mind, and he just I think I think he is feeling a certain amount
of emotions, and he just lets loose, just a bloody war cry and
just and he sprints straight towards the nearest bloody who's remembering the wind going through
his hair when he was young and running alongside Big Boar as he would fight
his enemies. He feels sort of a rush like he used to, and
I'm going to have him just run straight up to this boar. And canonically
he he runs right past the big Boar, leaps off of the anvil,
and come down with an overhead strike onto the ooze. But mechanically he can't
do that or say he missed this. Uh, he can give me an
attack rong, okay, seventeen that hits fornine bludgeoning. Do you want to
know how much hate got left? Do I know? Do you want to
know how much HP it has left? He got ten? I'll kill it?
How do you kill it? Yeah? Yeah, I think I just
I bring I just come down, flying through the air, bringing this staff
down in a in a rage, shouting his he's the cries he used to
on the great things, and the staff just sort of quacks into it in
the the blood just sort of loses its form and just kind of splatters apart
all over the ground. I mean, yeah, the slime just it's kind
of explodes. It loses any form, it loses any sort of life that
it has. One hit points worth. A drop loops up and we follow
it with the camera right and lands in the knapsack of holding brilliant. Oh
my god. Okay, yeah, and some other blood maybe splatters, and
I would like to on my face. I do like a symbol of land
that's like a crescent moon or something that we used to do. So I'm
fully in it now. I've completely lost my mind, all right. That
one's dead, the other one isn't, and it's going to try and strike
sear. It is low that it can't absorb him anymore, so it's going
to try and hit him um with its pseudopod A twenty six U that just
hits yes, eleven bludgeoning and four necrotic damage as a sort of a lance
of blood launches out and strikes you. Yeah. I don't think it moves
or anything though. That's the end of its turn. Cyrus, your turn,
Okay, I've learned that these things do not take spells. So I'm
going to run down here and pull out my big fuck off sword and I'm
gonna hit this thing with my sword. Well, I would like to hit
this thing with my sword, but well, I think you do. It
just gets call in the slows down before you recognize it's able to do anything.
Now it's just sort of stuck in the ears. Okay, dang,
dang, I don't think that is this. No, I was just wondering
if there's literally any damage I can do other than that. No, that's
it, I guess. So that's it, great, jillden, I guess
would you again to pumba this? Yeah, yesh thirteen. In fact,
guy, I go straight through it almost and then I just spin around behind
it like yeah, before I fall off the edge. Bibble can't do anything.
He just says, Oh, it's up to you, good luck.
Okay, almost is that blood? That all blood apart from the one that
I've done, So you don't really do anything. See, he will just
literally help it at this point by trying serious your time. Would you like
to try and kill this, great, jam, I would very much like
to apply kill on the creature with stick or sixteen to hit sixteen hits or
eight points of bluddening damage eight points of bluddening damage, and twenty one to
hit twenty one hits five points of blushing damage, five points of bluddening damage.
M hm st that, I'm my fright all right. I'm going to
then expend a key point and punch at it for twenty points well for twenty
two hit. Sorry, twenty to hit yet for five points of blushing damage.
You're not dead, all right? Good night? Step across my body
spinner for a back end fist on the creature. We're ninety hit. Get
stuck in the all right? Can thrack do it again? Yeah? I
think I would like to do a leap off this tiny ledge and come down
again like I do the moon symbol on my forehead and ah, and I
do the same thing over staff overhead, leaping at it. I see the
boar behind it, and I'm just enthralled by that, and I bring down
my court staff for a mighty eleven to me, here's what happens. All
of you currently are stuck in this thing. You're all stuck in it.
You all pull your weapons out, wrench your quarter staff, free the tasks
the staff the sword, and it explodes because it was supposed to explode earlier
on it didn't. Now this is going to kill it. But this is
definitely going to kill it. But it doesn't mean you aren't going to suffer.
So everyone make a dextry saving throat. You have to beat fifteen.
I got a zero deceiver zero, Yeah, I have a negative one in
all right, fifteen you take the full damage. If you got under a
fifteen, you take half. No is there, no, you're we this
is this is absolutely a thing you can evasion. Yes, then I don't
take any Okay, wait it's the other way around, right, if we
got under a fifteenth sorry, yeah, so yeah, fifteen and above you
take half damage. Under fifteen you take the full amount of fourteen horse damage.
As this thing just explodes into bloody ooze across all of you. All
of you are covered like the end of carry in ooze and blood as it
drips off of your bodies, and you have defeated the ooze. And I
think we sort of see twinkling in the firelight of the forge as the forge
begins to call the five bangles reflecting nicely with one of them having that sort
of sharktooth shaped bone shard in there. That's the end of the session.
