When we last left off, you guys had managed to make it to
the dark DA. It doesn't work if you do it three times. What
I thought at one point we could all get it. You want, you
can try. Sorry, I'll never take part in that. Okay, you
made it to the boundary. D. I think it's better if we just
every like Alex says it, and then we all say it at the same
time. That is better, Okay, Tyler, Tyler's like more psy Okay,
okay, okay, everyone, Yeah, focus, and made it to
the bar vice and met the owner of this establishment named Dmitri, who invited
you to his office. So you make your way up there with your friend
Tour Tour immediately, like as soon as you guys start making it towards the
office and he can see a door, Tour like goes past. Dmitri grabs
the door and like takes his hat off and like holds it down. He
goes, Miladies, you don't have to call us miladies, but thank you
for holding the door open. That's nice. I must continue for it is
part of my strict code of ethics. I'll take it. Thank you,
crystals, like this is the most normalcy I've had since I've been here.
Question was Christalan and torgoes I will stand guard as the door was shutting you
hear him say if they approach, they will taste my steel, and Dmitri
says, so what can I do for you? Hi? Dmitri? H,
So, we are looking for a web developer that can work on the
cloud. We have a contract from Bluegal. Very interesting, Very many people
looking for web developer work on cloud. High demand in this line of work.
This will come at considerable cost. Is there a high supply? Not
so much, my friend. Okay, well, we haven't looked into the
details of the contract, but we have it on our person. We're just
the delivery people. I will hold on to it and let you get eyes
on it. But there's no trust here. You come, I welcome you
into my establishment, welcome you to my office. Would you like a drink?
Certainly? Would have cut back to Bentley. What is Bentley doings already
at the bartender? Like, give me the strongest thing you have up at
you, and he says, you're a cop. No, I look like
a cop kind of Why do I look like a cop wearing all that shiny
armor, got a piece on your side? Like, come on, man,
you come in here like looking like that, like you're making everybody uneasy.
Bentley pulls out like three gold and lays it there, and he's like,
just give me something that will make me not remember today. Okay,
you guys are down to four party members, so we cut back to the
rest of you. Okay, no drinking. I understand you are here for
business, so we talk business. I look at the contract. Yes,
no, look at it. I understand that you feel slightly about a used
word. I'm going to take contracts from you. What good will it be
if I take contracts from you without delivering goods. We're not so much worried
about you. We've just been burned quite a bit recently, so we're just
extra cautious right now. But if we put it on a table, how
about this, my friend, hold it out on table. Can you do
that? I guess so. And you see as he pulls a piece of
paper from his desk and like lays it on top and like rubs it and
pulls it up and it's like a direct carbon copy. And he's like it's
good. Yeah, was there still stuff on our paper? Yes? Okay,
then yes, that's yeah. Yeah. He says, no trick here,
friend, I am businessman. I am not charlatan. You come to
the right place. Excellent looking at it, and he's he's like, hmm,
these are agreeable terms. It comes down to I only have one guy
who can pull off what this is asking for, and we really need one
guy. It really comes down to what he says, if he says he
can or not, and unfortunately he has another. How you say, offer
that makes sense? This is a highly competitive market, like you said,
so we would just love to talk to him. Okay, Well he is
with other clients and he points across, like so, you guys are above
the club, right, and so if you look out, like the window
from Dmitri's office, you would see that there's like a cat walk around like
the top of the club, and directly across from you see like a glass
boardroom. I want everyone to make a perception check. Is there a way
we could also do an insight check on this? Dmitri yeah, you see
an insight check on him. Taylor got a three. Okay, So you're
you're dazzled by the sights and sounds of the clubs out fifteen okay. Richard
got a fourteen okay, six okay. So I get the sense that Amien
and Taylor Jacobs probably don't go to a lot of clubs, and so they're
kind of like, this place is pretty cool. You know, the other
two of you, Crystal and Richard. You see one you see Bentley down
like chugging some liquid from the bar, and you see across the way in
a glass boardroom, you see two people meeting with who you assume is you
see another drought. And then you see a third person who looks very familiar
that happens to have a axe on his back and a mohawk. Wait,
there's three people in there. Yes, sorry, sorry, there's two people
with the drought. And then they're sorry, there's three total people plus the
drought. Okay, you don't recognize you recognize a drow, you don't recognize
the two other people, and but you do recognize a mohawked person with an
axe across their back. Okay, Okay, I understand now, Hey,
Crystal, I think those are our friends yesterday. Oh, the weird guests
from the the goth dudes. Yeah, I don't think we should call them
weird to their face, but yes, well they did. You know what
we should send Amy Ann over there? We should? Yes, he absolutely,
I was thinking the same thing. We're on the same page. Okay,
okay, okay, okay. How does Amy Ann feel about that?
Well? I mean I don't know, do I notice not talking about it?
Or yeah? You would hear them? You're all in the office.
Oh what who's down there? Oh? You remember the arm wrestling group that
we met yesterday? Yeah, they are here too. I'm sure. I'm
sure he'd love a rematch. I wouldn't mind. Well, no, I
won last time, so yeah I could beat him again. Yeah that was
so easy. So on that, we're going to cut back to Bentley.
Bentley, I need you to make me a constitution saving throw. You begin
feeling dizzy, dizzy like god like is there good like kind of buzz a
lot more than you think. Okay, yeah cool, and you're like,
WHOA hold on a second, I don't think I'm like that. I think
I'm starting to feel pretty loose, like yeah, okay, you see I
don't know if they see still see me, but Bitley like turns, goes
out on the floor, it starts dancing. Who so as you start,
you never seen how much your mother when Marshall's dancing, that's what he's doing.
Yeah, so you start dancing, and as you're dancing, a fairy
dragon appears and he's like, sweet moves, dude, sweet, what's your
name? His name is Sundrop. Fuck yes, Sundrop. Let's go yeah,
dragon dancing? Whoa? All right, so we cut back to you
guys, I mean, do you want me to go down there? I
don't remember which one was which. Maybe we should try and do like a
cat like we've noticed the people in the room, so you would you would
remember that the mohawk one is el Eric, which is the one I arm
wrestled. Okay, same, he's also the one that was into me,
right, yeah, okay, we'll go over together. Yeah, and we'll
just like, let's do a casual introduction, like let's like accidentally bump into
them instead of like, oh, so okay, are we saying we're also
looking for a cloud developer or think they already know they are one? So
told us this is where we should go. Yeah, that's kinda. We
just need to hope that our offer is better than the one that they're giving,
right, have to use some persuasion, all right, So Bentley,
I need another constitution saving throws. You continue to dance in your euphoric state
twenty one. Okay, so you are feeling real loose now, like,
in fact, you feel like like there's like this numbness sundrop still there there.
Yeah, there's like this numbness that starts running through your body, and
you don't feel as strong as you were before, but you feel like you
can move a lot better. And your dexterity goes up by three, but
your strength goes your strength goes down by three. Oh, this is temporary.
Okay, sweet, I have a bi The dancing wasn't very good before,
yeah, but it's getting better. He's starting to figure out how his
body moves. Like yeah, yeah, yeah, sun Drop, you're awesome.
Yeah, you're awesome, dude, Like we could be best friends.
We could totally be best friends friends forever. What someone in the crowd,
not Crystal, goes do a backflip. Bentley is like, yeah, yeah,
do a backflip. Is there like a platform. Is there a platform
anywhere? Yeah, sure there's a bar. Bentley's gonna like jump up onto
the bar and then try to Okay, I need you to do a either
acrobatics or athletics to climb up on the bar and armor. Maybe it should
just do it be a standing backflip. No, no, you've already committed
dick or no dick. Oh no, no dick. That's uh. Let
see here. Since I have a ten that goes zero, so that's a
two. So with the two, you you take one step towards the bar,
You step on like a puddle of some mysterious liquid, and you just
eat it. You just eat it right into the bar. O nice where,
oh god where you take eight bludgeoning damnage As you go face first into
like the edge of the bar and you are now prone. Bentley's gonna like
stand like I'm okay, I'm okay, sun drop, let's do this.
And he's gonna try, okay that and then immediately jump back up. You're
like, whoa, let's go yeah. And and and Richard, you're definitely
catching all this. Yeah, So Bitlan tries to do the backflip. You
see his helmet is dented? How is it wearing a helmet? Though?
Oh? Okay, you see his face? How are your teeth? I'm
sure there? Fine? Okay, So we cut back to the other guys.
Do we all see what happened to be that you would all have called?
Oh man, can we do U in unison? Oh? Like?
Oh Bentley? Ouch? I hope he's okay. Oh, he's gonna try
to get to I can talk to he about Bentley. Are you okay?
So Bentley, with everything going on right now, you're not actually sure if
it's Amien talking to you or sun Drop sundrops like, hey, hey,
buddy, you okay? What's going on? Yeah? I'm fine? Change
what do you mean? Why did my voice change? It was always sun
Drop? Huh what backflip? Yeah? And then Amien you hear coming back?
You stay away from him? I think I think Bentley's possessed. Guys.
Is that a thing that can happen? I don't know. Just here
like, oh, some people can handle the dark web. Your friend will
be fine. It's temporary. I want to keep Sundrop though, I mean,
there's a way to do that. You can always find Sundrop. Just
Bentley has a sundrop addiction. The liquor be called sundrop. So Dmitri goes,
uh, your friend, he'd be he'll be fine, he'd just leap
it off. But you if you want my web developer, you're going to
need to go convince him to take your offer. Okay, yeah, we
can do that, you see. Yeah, yeah, I feel very confident.
Someone needs to keep eyes on Bentley though, So Amy and would you
be up for checking in with him? Well, how about you, Taylor,
because we kind of want Amy and to interrupt yeh, mohawk guy.
And then if we want to do a multi pronged approach, if he's here,
the rest of the group is here, and maybe my boy Alric is
also here. Wait, your boy, didn't he try to poison you?
He almost did not poison Richard. I think you need to reassess your boy.
All right, we're making our way downtown down into the floor of the
thing and well no, no, this was up on the other side of
the catwalk. Yeah, we have to go to the oh sorry, I'm
sorry, to the catwalk, so as you sailor's walking on, it wouldn't
be the horse walk. As you guys approach you see that. Eleric turns
and he pops one of the guys in the chest and points at the door
and uh, you see one of the guys looks pretty strong, comes steps
outside the door and closes it. As you guys are walking over, tor
or Tour turns. He goes, ah, my ladies, are you in
need of assistance? At her accompaniment, yeah, tor, Hey, will
you do us a solid and go down there. You see that guy who's
laying on the ground, He's not laying on the ground anymore. Looks over
there and Bentley's just jumping up in the air going back flip. Can you
go down there and see if he's okay? Taylor's also headed down to Okay,
I go with Taylor. Yeah, wants Taylor's back. He turns to
Taylor's say it would be my honor and holds his arm out like to escort
her. But it's like, yeah, so I've actually been instructed by HR
not to do any touch, but you can. I'll definitely walk with you.
He says. I don't work for your company. We're working together,
so I think I'm just going to respect the boundaries of my workplace. He
says, well, it would be out of place in my code of honor
to not respect your boundaries that you set for yourself. My lady, Crystal
behind tours like like thumbs upping Taylor. Taylor's just like, like you could
just call me Taylor. Um. And he goes, all right, let's
go save your friend, Hussa. Taylor's here for it, all right.
So you guys approach the other boardroom. The guy looks at She says,
sorry, this is a private meeting. Business guy. My name is Jeremy.
Hey, Jeremy, I noticed one of our friends is Ulic is in
there. Are like his brother's here too. He used a different word to
describe it. I wouldn't exactly call it friends. Oh, so you know
who we are. Then he's mentioned you, some of you more than others.
So Crystal like Richard, yeah, totally um. And she she's like
and she um, I can't wait. And she's like, Jeremy, you
said, you said, Jeremy, boy, hey, you look so strong,
are you? Like, do you work out? Of course I work
out. You think I just got this way but not doing so. She's
like gonna reach her arm out and like touch his like muscles. Okay,
and she's gonna be like, do you think you could maybe just like let
us in? Like for me? I know that, like it's been a
crazy couple of weeks for us and a big strong man such as yourself,
would it'd be amazing if you could just let us through? And she's gonna
try and cast a charmed person. Yes, yes, all right, let's
see how this goes. Oh, dear god, I'm actually gonna have to
look up his card. So he rolled to four and he says, oh
you like that, do you? And he flexes his arm a little bit.
I so do it? Sucking flirting Crystal's awesome. It's apparently on paper
it's really good. But now that he's charmed, what what are you wanting
him to do? So? I just want him to like let us through
the door? Oh may be rude, me not too, I guess.
And would you like, do you mind getting get me a drink? That
would be amazing? Pretty little peach like you, I'll get you something.
This is like the one place where being a drought is not working. It
gets me, so you see as he wanders off to the bar to get
you a drink. Okay, so what do y'all do? Now? We
go in open the door. Right, how long does that spell? Last?
One hour? I think, right, yeah, it's an hour.
Shit. Okay, well, I'll be a long on. But the door
opens and you hear Eleric go did you get him sent away? Oh?
Hey? And you see Eleric turns and he sees all of you. He
goes, well, I guess that's all right. He says, where is
Jeremy? Oh he went to get us some drinks? What the hell did
he do that? Full? Because I asked? Good health is so hard
to find, Steven, you better not pull any shite like that. Wouldn't
dream of it. Boss. I love the DMS conversations. Yeah, I
know, it's really awkward. He says, what brings a lot of you
here? Who's in the room. We've got him and then two drows.
You've got him Stephen, who's another human, and then you've got a drow.
Okay, Crystal, you're taking lead, right, So I got us
this bart. I'll try. Hey, Hey, there, buddy, you
want a rematch sometime. I've been thinking about it since yesterday. I'd love
a rematch, darling, but I'm on official business. Hey, that works
out because we are too um and I try to address the drough Hey,
are you a web developer specializing in cloud because we got a contract for you
here you'd like to review its Eleric says it's a little too late. We've
already got him. Has he signed anything yet? Holds up a signed piece
of paper we've got here so quickly try to grab it, and and the
try to grab who the signed paper? Okay, yeah, sure, I'd
say, he doesn't really care. Do you grab it? Can I rip
it up? Whoa? Whoa? Whoa? He just kind of smiles as
you do, and he says, does anything happen? What happened? Like?
He looks and he goes. He says, you don't think we have
copies? How do they make copies so quickly? Magic? You literally just
saw someone make a magic Is there a magic copy machine in front of him?
In this there's like a whole stack of papers in front of him,
and you hear is the web developer says, well, hold on a second.
You said there's a competing offer. Yes, sir, hey Richard,
you have that paper? Where don't you see? And what's your name?
Sorry to be just so rude and jump in here. My name? No
one ever asks me my name? Well, that's just one of the many
perks of this offer. Donofrio ging Sala. But you can call me Dan
Damn. Nice to meet you, Dan, and we introduce ourselves. So
you said he's the only drought in the room except for me. Now there's
now two drowns. There are now two drought in the room. Okay,
cool, So yeah, what do you think of that? I'll need a
minute to look it over. And you see as el Eric is fuming at
this point, and then we cut back to Bentley, who was giving up
on the back flip. Yes, glass tubes with the fairy. I care
about the ethical ramifications of shaking a jar full. You might not realize they're
sundrop. Is just is encouraging this behavior by the way sundrops like yeah,
shake them, yeah, bro, Yeah, let's go. Yeah, I
will be friends forever. Wait what else? Yeah no, no, keep
shaking the glow stick. It's okay, Okay, yeah is sundrop and I'm
party party pa, same part of him around. Like people have started actually
moving away from you, so it's really easy for Taylor Jacobs and Tour to
find you. It's not one of those BoJack situations. No, no,
it's not a party horse situation. And as they approach, you see tour
comes up and he goes, no need to take this off line, overworked
and underplayed. We'll circle back after these messages. Ah, my compatriot,
are you in need of assistance? No, leave me alone? Go away?
Sundrops like, who the fuck is this nerd? I don't know.
You guys are hearing him talk to this, by the way, we're not
hearing the other half. Yeah, hearing the other half. You need to
make him go away because he's gonna try to end our good times. Oh,
I really I don't like making people do anything though, Yeah, but
do you want them? They're gonna make you stop? Hey Bentley, watching
him just talk like with the glow sticks in his hand to air he stopped
dancing. Hey Bentley, who are you talking to you? Sun Drop?
Sun Drop? Yeah, that's cool. Don't you see the dragon next to
me? Sundrop Cools person I've ever met in the world. This is my
best friend ever. That's right, we're best friends ever, Bentley. She's
gaslighting you. What's that? That's where you like, tell somebody a lie
and you act like it's the truth. She's trying to make me go away.
She doesn't want us to be friends. I don't know. We could
just keep partying. Yes, Barty party, party, party, party,
blip backflip, let's go, we'll both do one. This time. Bentley
tries to just do a standing backflip. Yeah, make a dexterity saving throw
or sorry, acrobatics check with disadvantage, with disadvantage. That's a seventeen okay,
wow, wow twenty and the seventeen. So you see Bentley just like
do a standing backflip and land on his feet. Whoa, that's my best
friend. Yeah, best friends, best friends forever mine. Wait what what
there's that echo again? Oh man, this place is so echoy party party,
party, just shrugs and starts standing party again. Hey, Bley,
so I think you might be hallucinating. No, no, no, bitch.
I feel like I shouldn't say that. I shouldn't say what. Don't
worry. Sundrops a nice guy. He would never say anything. I don't
think Sundrop is real. No, he's real. He's feel to me.
That makes it real. It's all about perception, is he? He goes
she thinks I'm not real, doesn't she? Everyone can see you can you
believe this, right? But you can see him. If she was your
friend, why would she do this to you? I don't understand. I
don't guess. I mean we're not really friends. Were co workers? Alright,
alright, I need t Taylor. I need you to make a wisdom
saving throw with disadvantage as one of your bad omens becomes a good omen.
So, guys, first, I rolled the sixteen. Okay, we might
make it the second time, I roll the one. Taylor Jacobs, you
have finally had enough. You uncontrollably go into a fit of rage. What
I need you to roll initiative and be I need you to do the same.
Then your initiative will be one. I'm so stressed out. This is
amazing. And what did Taylor Jacobs? Did you get more than a ten?
Nope? Got seven? Okay, so you'll act first and we'll come
back to that. As we go back upstairs, he looks over the contract
and goes, oh, these contracts are mainly the same. I think you
should fight for it. What who are you talking to them? I think
that you and he points at Eleric. He goes, you want my services
for your client and points at you Amy and he says, and you want
my services for your client. I think that the strongest party should get my
services. And as Eleric stands up, he starts popping his neck and like
stretching. He goes, oh, I really did not want to do this
today. I mean, there's just one of him, and he's like,
I listen. I hope you understand stand Amy, This is all I would
never, ever, in any other circumstance tolerate someone getting blood all over those
fancy leathers of yours. Can I tell what level he is? Make me
a investigation check. Okay, I'm gonna look him up and down. Oh
dear, not good. Seven. So just because you had the intuition to
do that, huh, what I'm going to tell you is that he is
a challenge rating five, don't I do not know what that means. So
so how challenge rating works is a CR five. So if you had a
party of four level five, then he would be a medium difficulty challenge.
Okay, so he would kick my ass. It would be a little hard
for one of you to do it. It might be a little challenging for
three of you to do it. Hold on a second, I'll tell you
exactly what the level of difficulty is because there's three of you, right,
so this encounter difficulty would be deadly Okay, Okay, So like what if
we don't fight? What if we just well, I mean, if if
you're not going to do that, then that proves he's the stronger one,
and I'm going to just go with his contract. Okay, But like,
theoretically, if we're talking about strength, why are we discussing why? Like,
why are we talking about the strength of the party when the strength of
the contract should be the thing that's in question. Both of these contracts are
almost identical. When you're thinking about Blue Girl and you're thinking about the power
and might of this company, that's the strength you should be drawing from,
not this party. His client's pretty strong too. Who's his client? The
orchard? Oh that's right, right? But like just saying, like you're
asking the messengers to fight over something, it doesn't make any sense. Why
are you? Why not weigh the pros and cons of the actual companies instead
of having us there? Like running his axe up a sharpening stone, He's
like, just let me know whenever you're ready. What if we are wrestled
again? She like whispers the namy, I mean I could do that,
I just don't think I could win him in a fight. By can Richard
go talk to Elric? Sure? And we'll get to that in one second.
As we cut back, Bentley, what is your first action in combat?
He doesn't realize he's in combat. He's just gonna be like, whoo
party, alright, so drop. So he just said that to you,
Taylor Jacobs, And now he's just dancing right in front of you, and
you see his tour toward turns and he says, my lady, would you
like for me to remove his head from his heathen body? Oh? My
god? Do it? Oh? Okay, So he is going to have
his moment in this tour, draws his his katana, and he says,
security in this place, dude, just a dark web. Everybody at this
point is forming a circle around you, guys, hoping this would happen there
where where they wanted their night to end. And he says, you have
besmirched my lady's honor. Wait what by disregarding her obvious attempts at friendship?
You creton should be lucky to have a woman as beautiful and talented as she,
who would even stoop so low to call you her friends. He raises
his wristbit end up. He's like He's like, Oka says mentally amy,
and I'm like, wait, we're friends, right, uh yelling with all
this stuff. Hey we're friends, right, yes, Pentley, we're friends.
Oh cool? Thanks, Yeah, already got a friend. He said,
you can have my I can't hear her saying he don't. I realized
that. I realized. He says, my lady, would you care to
have the first strike to regain your honor? Yes? I was very chivalrous.
He steps back while holding his sword out, and at this point you
see Dimitri up in his windows just eating popcorn. Love it. So she
is going to so her primal path is the path of the giant, and
so she is going to become large. Oh so she literally hulked out.
Yeah, she fucking it now. She's like huge, she's real bake now,
and she is going to grab whatever is near her, probably like a
chair or a person or a person. Okay, so you've reached down just
blindly grab something, and you literally grab an orc who's holding a chair.
Okay, it's a hurlter Ducan. The orche just kind of holding the chair
real real still, and he's just like, and she is going to throw
that at him? At Bentley? Okay, I can attack real. This
is delightful. I don't know. So that's a twelve that is going to
miss. Bentley tanks the ship and it just like breaks on his armor.
Oh, he's like, won't hit me again? And you hear Sundrop turns,
goes, dude, that was so cool. Right, we're gonna talk
her the world. Is there a door that I could break down? I
don't want to kick a door down whever? What what, dude? You
should throw something at her. It's a throw dance fight. That's where you
throw things and then you dance and stuff. You know what I mean?
Like it's it's it's a ballroom blitz. Doesn't sound like a real thing.
It's a real thing. Trust me, throw something at her sharp. I
don't have anything sharp. He's like, he looks, he goes, you
have a dagger. I don't want to throw that though. Okay, we'll
throw that bottle. I don't want to think it's got alcohol in it.
I want to drink it. We'll drink it then throw it. Big brain
idea. Yeah, maybe on my turn. Okaye, you see his tour.
Yeah, we're getting meta over here. He's breaking the four tour sees
this and he like approaches and he goes, you should have accepted her friendship
when she offered it, you, Creighton, And he takes a swing with
his mighty katana and rolls of one. Who does he? Who does he
hit? Uh? He hits the bottle you're holding like missus. You completely
hits the bottle that he looks and he says, you need to lay off
the stuff there. Guy, that doesn't look like it was intentional. It
was totally intentional. I think you were trying to hit me and then you
failed, like in a moment of like clarity. But you see is he
pulls his sword back into a two handed pose. He goes, now,
come at me. I mean okay, it is now Bentley's turn. Yeah,
Billy's I mean okay, I guess it pulls out like one of the
swords he's gonna swing at the next beard. Okay, that is a eighteen
plus numbers. Oh shit, Yeah that hits. And I'm going to go
ahead and channel my divine smite. Oh god, and you hear his sundrop
goes, yes, fill him full of your divine energy. Gotta get rid
of all that. What was your oath again? Oath a crown? Okay,
I'm fine. Yeah, He's like, I'm drinking nothing but crown.
Like that does h nineteen points a damage has a radiant light shine hits the
neck beard. Okay, well that's some damage, and he goes whoa.
But like I'm just gonna say he threw the sword because he thinks it's a
throwing vice. Okay, so the swords like stab or like hit him or
like cut into his shoulder, and Billy takes his hand, I'll be like,
whoa bartet and not even gonna do a second attack. Oh, He's
like, huh, I can take it. Is that all your turn?
Yeah, I'm okay. So at the end of your turn, gonna go
back upstairs and amen. You hear again, You're like you hear in your
mind like almost like it's coming from Bentley, but you hear the other voice.
You leave him alone? Who are you? I am? Sun Drop?
What does that mean? It really is like the soda I am the
only friend he needs anymore? Is it? Like? Actually like he's good?
You wanted you, you asked for the heaviest thing they got. He's
drinking literally drank evil. Yes, morning, Hey Bentley, could you come
up here and help us have morning sickness? Okay, I'm thinking to you,
Hey Bentley, hurry up here if you can, please, we need
some help help. Yeah, my friend, you don't get that. That
gets it. It's it's like you're trying to send that. I need you
to make me a wisdom saving through me. Yes, not twenty plus twenty
one. So you feel like almost like a sharp pain from like a migraine.
And then it like Peter's off and he goes, You're not very nice?
Are you? With a name like sun Drop? Do you think I'm
nice? It seems like it would be nice. Yes, actually sounds like
my little pony. It sounds like my little pony. I'm not in my
little pony whatever that is. Anyways, So so you get that message through
the Bentley. I feel like this would be a very useful thing to have
against like a psionic. Here's my mind is protected. Wait, my friend
needs me. Okay, okay, okay, Um, whenever he gets back
to me, I'm gonna you just leave. Yeah, I'm just gonna like
leave and start running up to wherever they are probably, but so anyways,
so we cut back and it was so Elrik's like, all right, so
we're doing this thing or not. Yeah. So Richard was on his way
to talk to Rickie, right, he's doing that. He's like talking to
himself, like hyping himself up. He's like, all right, you didn't
do so well the last time, but you got this, you got and
you know, do remember you do have bardic inspiration, dice. I do
have that. And what I was going to do was accidentally cast a second
level spell enhanced ability and give myself advantage on charisma checks. Okay, yeah,
all right, so I could see that you're giving yourself like hype and
you like pull out your phone yeah, to like like use it like a
mirror and make sure your hair looks all right. And as you do,
like it glows for a second and you suddenly feel so much stronger of a
like, you feel more confident. Yeah, exactly, And he said,
Hey, you're the one who who partied with Ulric last time, aren't you.
That's exactly who I am. We don't need to settle this through fisticuffs,
fighting or whatever. I know you and amy An probably will have fun
doing that, but neither one of us really care about who this web developer
goes to. So why don't we just talk through it, like we're not
beholden to Bluegirl like you guys aren't beholden to the Orchard like we can.
We can come through some kind of compromise, talk through it like with words.
I mean, not necessarily, but I mean if you want to,
you know, consult with your brothers, like I'm not trying to make you
go out on a limb or anything here, like we're friends. Well look
here, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but this is how it's
going to be. They sent me down here to get that guy, yeah,
or make sure that Bluegul does not get that guy. Okay, So
that's the two options here. And I'm not the word guy. I'm the
AX guy AX. And he's a very nice axe. Thank you, thank
you. So that's where we're at. Now, how about we agree.
Then you said that Orchard doesn't have to have him and Bluegirl can't have him.
If we just both agree, neither one of us gets him. Role
persuasions. Oh shit, that's a twenty seven. You got so lucky,
would you like to know what he rolled, probably six twenty five. He
rolled a NAT. Well, no, not a twenty five. Sorry I
was looking at the wrong stay he rolled a twenty two. He got a
NAT twenty plus two. I rolled the nineteen plus eight. So he looks.
You see him think for a second and he looks. He goes,
So we kill him. Richard doesn't want that to be the thing. But
if that's how this has to go, he's not going to Oh no,
he's he like in his mind, he's thinking like he doesn't want to tell
him no because he doesn't want to kill the deal. But he also doesn't
want to kill this guy. So he's like trying to think of like right,
So we'll put a pin in that. Yeah, and we cut back
to the dance floor. Yeah, Bitley's trying to leave and get up to
No Sundrops like but no, no, no, no, I'm your friend.
Yeah you can come with no, no, we need to party here
for ye why not already upstairs because they'll try to make me go away.
They think I'm bad for you. You don't know that you've never met them.
I know that that's a great person. She talks a lot. It's
a little annoying sometimes, but it's she's otherwise cool. Okay, you finished
your turn. It is now Taylor Jacob's turn. So Taylor heard all this
talk of friendship and even though she's not his Oh oh no, hold on
when I meant to say this earlier when you threw the guy at him and
it did nothing. Roll another wisdom saved with disadvantage to see if it prolongs
your rage or if that satiated you. So that's a four. You're even
more angry, okay, And this talk of like friendship is just really boiling
your bloody and and like you've repressed a lot of anger since you've come here
and it's like all bubbling up to the surface now and Tor looks at you
goes, I cannot believe now he now he chooses to run away like some
coward face me Amien said they needed help. Why don't you help too?
He is going to cast hold person as he holds his hand out and you
see his fedora glows as it is his holy relic. Yes, what save
wisdom? Yes, get fucked nerd Oh that's what he says to you.
I'm proficient in that. I thought I would do better. But that's a
six. Yeah, you instantly get held in place. Wait, what the
fuck? What's going on? He says, you will not flee from me,
You coward fleeing going to help other people? And he says, now
my lady strike him. So I feel like hearing him talk to this like
into nothing basically, and hearing him talk about amy and and how like they
have their own dynamic, She's probably like, are you guys fucking talking to
each other with Albi and like major foma. But she heard that the amy
And needs help, right, Yeah, so yeah, she'll roll to get
out of it, all right, that's a seven. Umm, kill him,
Taylor, all right, she she's gonna try and choke him. Okay.
