That's not exactly how buildings work from my understanding of things. And it does
it look tooled at all, like it's been carved that way, or does
it look like it just it looks quite natural to you. No, except
for the sharp edges at the corners and crenelations at the top of the walls.
I'm confused. I'm upset to keep cover. You guys are staying very
low to the ground, and Octimer, you think you're pretty well covered in
that stone dust. Maybe if you skull crawl you might be able to get
a little closer. Did you say skull crawl? Yeah, basically like get
on his belly and uh like the army crawl that they do. Oh okay,
I don't think I want to risk it. I'm not sure that there's
anything I could see on this wall that's gonna help me comprehend something that is
impossible, if that makes any sense. That's fair. There is a large
opening in this wall about halfway along its side to the eastern side. That's
good info, though there's no doors or gates or anything on it, big
enough that probably two elephants side by side could go through. It's bad.
This was a world with flying machines. I would say it almost looks like
a hangar for something like that. Oh wait, there's flying creatures. Yeah,
it's a hangar of sorts, I suppose. Well, yeah, but
anything could go in the hangar, including giant snakes, my giant snake anger.
You know, a pervert like this would have a giant snake hanger.
That wouldn't be all that surprised if you fucking drop that on us. We
brought back the dial for a boss run. This is the big castle you
have to go through. Creeping a little bit to the south. You can
see another opening on the southern wall again about halfway similar size, and this
one doesn't seem particularly useful because it's not far from the sheer drop off.
That's definitely where the flying creatures come and go from. Then then perverts probably
love running right out the door and having a fucking drop. So what do
you guys want to do. Well, we don't really want to get too
close right now, right, fall back and strategize, get back down to
the base camp. Yeah, I think that might be the move. Yeah,
we've seen everything we're gonna see probably unless one of those things fucking ambushes
us in the night. I'm half one that I won't wait too long.
I'm wonderful'll see one of those things like come to port if you will.
That's true. Have any of them landed we're taken off since we've been washing
them, or have they been flying since like yesterday? This close you could
actually see that they'll fly in down towards the center and they'll fly back out
again. Yeah. Basically almost what you would consider to be very close to
the direct center of this compound, they'll just like bomb into it or fly
out of it. Now that you're close enough, you get a better estimate
without the fog screwing with your senses. It looks like there's between ten or
twenty of them. Yeah, but then again, what are you gonna do
about it? Ah to be an explosives engineer in a world like this,
of course, flat grounds kind of is an explosive engineer. I mean,
don't have a firework ready to go? He's about that thing on. I've
been saving it for the little shit magging on. It's here. Can you
make bigger ones? Yeah? I was thinking maybe we're going to take some
time to like hit the lab up, get some tech and come back.
Yeah, let's move back down the mountain. Caul can develop an aircraft gun
down at the base camp. Right, we can load as one lab.
I developed the flak cannon. Can we bring the flag cannon? All right?
So you guys start to like slowly back off until you can be you
know, the goal is to get a comfortable distance away so that you can
kind of just go straight down the slope. One observation test from everybody.
Difficulty is too all the warriors. Okay, I'm spending a momentum. You
never took the two out from the pool from me? Yeah, there we
go. Before I roll, I'm spending a fortune. That's what I'm gonna
do. Okay, sounds good, It's gonna roll it. Aw One unskilled
success becomes two successes because you spent a fourtune and zero. Oh fuck it
smoking with you got them. I'm gonna spend a fortune. I bought the
skill that lets me reroll a failed observation role, and that has not come
up at all. I succeeded. I'm merely too good at observation roles that
the skill is useless. It's so fun, that's hilarious. Well, your
target number is fifteen, right, yeah, your turnet number is fifteen,
so that skill is actually really good to have. Yeah, because on the
off chance that you fail, you get to try again and then you have
a massive success chance. So I guess awareness. Yeah, so Cole got
just the one. Huh? All right? So Phaedra and Octimer Freeze and
Colon Ricardo keep moving again, slowly, stealthily, but they keep moving,
and Octimer looks up. Vader up. One of the creatures swoops down,
lands between two of the crenelations, plants a big clawed hand on the top,
and hangs out with most of its body to look around and sniff.
Even at this distance, you can pretty clearly make out it appears to be
some sort of scaly, hairless ape like imagine a chimp with no fur and
scapies, yikes, and wings apparently with leathery bat like wings that have to
span probably eight feet or more. I'd take back what I said. These
are the least fuckable twinks in the valley. This dude's a pervert and a
wicked witch. The West knockoff. We need super killing say we are not?
I say, like an ape the way it looks though it is man
sized, right, I know that they're not like flying monkey size, but
they are this world's version of flying monkeys. Unfortunately, they are a problem
with a capital P yes hanging off the side. It looks around in sniffs,
and it is at this point that Ricardo's foot slips in a rock tumbles
down the slope. Special thanks to Toys and Things in dan Versus, Massachusetts,
