Speaker 1: Is how you do it?
Speaker 2: Is that that's calming. That's a calming breath. Also, I
think that's I think that'll be have been the first
thing that people hear whenever the sound comes back. It
is just that cutting in. Suddenly that's great. Hello, Hello,
it's us, it's we. It's not nineteen doing Session forty
four of Gilligan's Grave, A Tale of Somnus Domina, and
it's us. Everybody say hello, Everyone say hello, it's us,
penis Hello.
Speaker 1: It's touch Hello.
Speaker 3: So you minimize the application. So now we can't hear
the music.
Speaker 2: Anymo Oh, I have to have it or it doesn't work.
Speaker 3: It has to be unmnimized.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that's good information for me to have. Thank
you wouldn't have I had no way of knowing that
on my own. Well, he can problem meet solution in
a fucking okay, don't minimize it. Resist the urge to minimize.
Because I can share.
Speaker 4: Your entire screen and not just the application, then you
can minimize it.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it'll show, doesn't sound doesn't yeah, yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1: There's like a little button that you can hit.
Speaker 2: There are other reasons I don't want to do that.
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, even if I put.
Speaker 2: Everything on the other screen, I still don't want to
risk me moving something over haphazardly or looking something up
and you guys being like, oh, what's up there? I'd
rather have that ball up. It just gives me if
it helps.
Speaker 1: It never has to be absolutely in the foreground. It
just can't be minimized. It can be overlapped by other things.
It just can't minimize.
Speaker 2: Although because because of the media player, I have a
setting on where it will always be at the front,
so that's kind of an un issue. God damn heck
in that's okay. I can just you could should share
it to scream no because I love people very much.
Back in the days, whenever the stream during the fake
game used to see the GM side, some of y'all
were a little annoying about it. People be trying to
figure out stuff about like what was going on, and
trying to be like, Oh, shouldn't this work this way?
What's this effect mean? Oh? I see a name? It
was the worst, you fucking I want everyone to be
on the same page. You guys find stuff out when
the players do. Plus there's also some people that tried
to be like oh that should have worked like this,
I don't care, we're having fun.
Speaker 6: Go away.
Speaker 2: This is my fucking hostile attack at any of you
doing that shit seven years ago. You know what you
did unless you forgot.
Speaker 4: Damn you're just sitting with that, y'all.
Speaker 7: Shit, it's like the Billy the Kid version of that.
In the chat, you're like, fuck, I wonder who did that?
Speaker 3: Like I'm sorry, random chatter?
Speaker 1: Are you Internet famous? Not nineteen food.
Speaker 7: Growing in the meantime and they're like, yeah, I would
never do that, like they mean it, and they're like,
you know what kind of asshole? Someone gets to the
clips they're like, all right, listen, that was a different person.
Speaker 2: I would never do that explicit clip of them doing that. No,
that was different.
Speaker 6: That was me.
Speaker 2: Then it's not me now, But I digress. We're back.
We missed a week because Carrie was Carrie was fucking
a wall because everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not gonna go in any ducks and want
to get to game, but I'll.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, yeah, back. So we are back. We're gonna
have like a two ish hour game today. It's gonna
be a little bit shorter because we have some stuff
that we want to do behind the scenes that will
benefit next week, so today's game will be a little
bit more digestible. I don't feel too bad about the
games being short when they are short, because it just
means easier to catch up on. I know there's a
few people, especially with episodes being so high in the
numbers now, there's some people who like it when they're
they know that the ones coming up or shorter because
they're like, oh good, I can catch up. I know
that if it was me and I was trying to
keep caught up, if I saw if I'm five episodes
behind and I saw like a five hour episode go up,
I'd be like, fuck, all right, good but bye. But
I digress. Heck, and I'm gonna throw out with the
chat there yo chat. I've been taking a pretty keen
interest in uh dagger Heart recently. I have some concerns
that most people have with like their uh what is there?
Their CGL they call it, but putting those aside, I
have an interesting Dagger Heart. I have a general interest
in maybe doing something on the channel with it, or
making like a parallel, very similar game to Dagger Heart.
I'd love feedback on the discorder in the comments about
whether or not that's something you guys would enjoy seeing
if we tried to like do some Somnistaminus stuff using
dagger Heart, because it looks like a really cool system.
There's changes I would make to it, definitely, so it
wouldn't be out of the box dagger Heart. But I
would love some feedback on if people would be up
for seeing that. And also if anyone's played dagger Heart,
if you want to share in the comments, like your
experiences with it, stuff that you had trouble with, stuff
you thought popped off really well, please let me know.
I'd love to accrue information about it. Switch game format, well,
it wouldn't be this game, it'd be something else. How
I maybe have already made the Sword Saint for dagger Heart.
It maybe is already done because and I maybe all
have almost also made the entire Inscriptor.
Speaker 6: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: I love howbout you love the Inscriptor despite never having
played in Scriptor.
Speaker 1: It's true you you don't me whah, I shake my
fist at you.
Speaker 2: You're shaking that fist full of dice because if not,
you're still not playing it in scriptor. I thought about
that filled dreg. I've thought about bringing the fake game back,
but putting it in dagger Heart, because I actually think
it would lend itself well to it. Chances are if
I played dagger Heart, I'd probably recomplicate it because I
really like the structure of it. But I know the
point of dagger Heart is it's like a theater kid
game with less crunch. I probably would want it to
have a bit more crunch. For example, people in the
chat I have outlined an initiative system because I'm not
the biggest fan of it having no initiative order. That's
the kind of stuff I would change anyway. Leave sleeve
stuff in the comments. I'll read it then. Obviously I
can't respond to it right now, but I'd love feedback.
I'd love to know people's stories about dagger Heart. Please
share everybody else? Do we have anything else we want
to talk about on stream before we really get into it,
before we jump in? Yeah, I'm not a bit fand
the very rule for initiative those I would do it
my own way, but yeah, hecking is U is anyone
else of anything else they want to share or plug
or what not? Today? Before we get into it.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm, yeah, I can think about it.
Speaker 1: I'm not indeed, yeah, just starve it.
Speaker 4: No, continue, continue, I'm about it cool.
Speaker 2: Nobody has anything happening, nothing is occurring, no one has
anything to announce. Our careers are all over.
Speaker 1: It is because I just did everything.
Speaker 4: I'm waiting for a fucking my hero and s I
ow to get back for you guys, and I just
got back from a corn.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, just.
Speaker 6: My birthday is in two weeks.
Speaker 1: It's fucking what Wait? Is it on a Saturday?
Speaker 6: No, it's Thursday after next seventh, Thursday seventh.
Speaker 2: I'm putting it in hold on, I got it out
of my calendar.
Speaker 1: I ever forget it.
Speaker 2: Hold on putting your birthday's going on my calendar.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: I only got one shot at this, and I will
I will fucking fucking eight during my way away from it.
If I don't do this.
Speaker 3: Right now before, I kind of forget because I feel
like I told somebody, but I can't frecking remember did
I tell you Logan that I'm not going to be
around on the ninth of August?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I think so. I think that's why we talked about
doing a double game to make up for that week,
but now we're doing it to Oh, oh all right,
you know what. That's fine, obviously, that's cool, that makes sense,
that's good.
Speaker 1: I can't remember and I can't find if I ever
posted it, so then I'm just kind.
Speaker 2: Of did I just okay because it sounds familiar, because
I think what happened was you said that and I
was like, okay, well, maybe we should do a double
game on the twenty six so that we can like
do one there and then do one on the next one.
But our plan has changed obviously because we're pre recording
one for next week. Today, we're not going to do
a triple game.
Speaker 3: Because because I think the idea was to move the
meeting to the ninth.
Speaker 2: Oh, but we're still that would have been.
Speaker 5: Oh, we'll figure that out later.
Speaker 2: We well, that does that does affect today because if
we're going to move into the ninth, we would do
a double session next week, not this week. Tell you what, gang,
we'll record our two hour games. If we're going to
do a double session, say hey, chat, sorry, you have
to like hear this. We'll stop and then we'll talk
about this when we go off of live and then
we'll decide if we want to do another one today
or we want to do too next week. Well, we'll
do it that way, we won't. We won't litigate it
in front of the kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just one second, just entering, just you chat, not.
Speaker 2: Me boom, Justice's birthday. Justice, your birthday is one day
before Lekazad's birthday. I know that doesn't mean anything to you,
but it's true.
Speaker 4: Damn. Also, now that I have my calendar open, tomorrow
will be my math Oh god, fourteen year anniversary of
voice acting. Christ such a baby, that's so.
Speaker 2: Much Such a baby. You guys, you're four years more
than me, damn.
Speaker 5: And you're so much more successful than me.
Speaker 1: Boy woo.
Speaker 2: I started when I was sixteen? What does that put
what does that put me? In? Now? How old are I?
I'm thirty three. I've been doing it for seventeen years, damn.
Although if you, I don't know if I would call
what I did for that first decade voice acting. There
was a microphone.
Speaker 4: That's kind of why I'm not too I'm absolutely yeah,
no one absolutely technically didn't cap myself as voice acting
until I like got games.
Speaker 1: So yeah, twenty seven, you guys, are so hard on year.
Speaker 2: There's there's an attempt at a Final Fantasy seven full
movie Admund Children fan dub that almost finished that I
refuse to refer to his actual voice acting, so I
have to disqualify at least up to that point.
Speaker 5: Damn that all I like.
Speaker 2: Kurt was a great suffer and hey is fucking Stephen
Kelly was working on it with us. He was law
as he did such a good job. Lots of people
did a good job. Hell, Yah, wasn't a good Cloud,
nineteen year old me, twenty year old me, not a
good Cloud, Mike so much.
Speaker 5: Like, you're so talented and you have crazy fucking range.
Speaker 4: But if I was to put you as anybody in
Final Fantasy would be.
Speaker 2: These days, he was Cloud. I'm like, Cloud is someone
that I would love to like properly, like he's a
dream roll of mine. But I mean, you know what,
you remember what I sounded like back then? This was
even pre U say like, there was no way I
was playing everything else. You know who I was really
good at. I know, we're you know who I was
playing that I was really fucking good at then. Reno
young me was actually a fucking killer Reno hell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2: Heck, but but I digress, Uh, don't die? But then
how can I gress?
Speaker 1: You have to live Gress, logan.
Speaker 2: Live, Gress, flourish Gress, live reress. Laugh, Chris, love Chris.
Speaker 1: It's got some big bungel.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna play. We're gonna play. We were doing
a shorter game today, we're taking it up talking about
fandoms you can't find anymore because they disappeared twelve years ago.
Time time to play this game? Boom, all right, who's
gonna tell us what happened last time? It's Anna? That's fitting.
Anna was like so cute.
Speaker 5: Don't make Anna do it?
Speaker 2: Do you not want to do it?
Speaker 1: Anna? Fu?
Speaker 3: Last time we were still in the hole. I need
the map and my jog my memory. Where's the map
where it's like the big map.
Speaker 2: The big map of the town.
Speaker 3: That's a big map of the town and my jog
my memory?
Speaker 1: What dumb.
Speaker 8: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you waiting for me to give it to you?
Are you finding it?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Where's the map? You should just I know, okay, I know.
It's literally the worst time for me to say this,
because I don't know how much more we're going to
use the map in the campaign, but you should put
it in one of your like slots at the bottom
of the screen.
Speaker 1: Do I have it there? Oh? I do? I do it?
Speaker 2: Okay. The last time it could have possibly been useful
to remember that.
Speaker 1: It was that you look, shush, that's right, just volleyball.
Speaker 3: Me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll do it again.
Speaker 6: Fuck yeah, I get him.
Speaker 1: AnyWho.
Speaker 2: So we.
Speaker 3: Uh, this isn't helping.
Speaker 1: I don't remember.
Speaker 3: So we we were, we were still I think we
were in downtown.
Speaker 2: You were in the spent most of the last game
in the Undertow primary HQ.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the Undertow Primary HQ. Uh. Desmond and Laurie
went to check on on Dendron. He tried really hard
to remember Caddy Wampus and he couldn't. He still can't
quite remember, but he's he's really trying his best. He
came really close a couple of times, and he's like,
I'll get it right next time, Laurie, I promise, we
can't trust you.
Speaker 1: You can't remember.
Speaker 6: He's he's dying.
Speaker 1: No, I feel bad.
Speaker 3: He he asked about Leyna and we said she was safe,
and then it will later turn out that we did
She's gone. Uh, I'm pretty oh uh. Pepper and Scarn
and Lilia went to go see see Papa Scarn. Sat
Une told us where his body was and it wasn't rotting,
and then they were gonna take it to I think
it's the chapel, so that like because that's where Scarn's
family is right now, so that he could they could
probably properly say goodbye, and they're probably gonna bury him
on the top of the pits, not in any of
the pit pits. Scar that Scarn, uh. Sat Une was like,
I gotta talk to Lilia about stuff.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then everyone decided they wanted to be a wingman.
Speaker 7: And like a.
Speaker 10: I was gonna say it like starting's always been there,
like everyone wanted to be a wingman, and and and
Lilia and stutt Une talked about the mission to go
down to the pits.
Speaker 1: Lila told Suttun about Route Bloom and.
Speaker 3: The thing she was able to do with Rute Bloom.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Sat Un went a bit more on the constalliquery.
Speaker 2: I helped constellation and reliquary. If that helps you remember.
Speaker 3: It, Oh, okay, I won't.
Speaker 2: That's you know, I've been playing in this setting for
like what six or seven years? Now and none of
them remember it, so why should you have?
Speaker 3: I just my brain just goes goes to constalliloquy.
Speaker 2: And I thought, my brain just.
Speaker 3: Goes to con soliloquy and I don't know why, but
it goes there.
Speaker 2: So uh.
Speaker 3: Sat Un then proceeded to, in his in his wonderful autism,
talk about how important Lilia is to all this and
he needs her now more than ever, for she is
the key to fixing everything that is here. Fix fixed
is stopping what's going on. But she might just be
the most important person in the room right now. And
while this was everything Lilia wished she could have ever heard,
and Moore, now was not the time because it's pressure,
because it's pressure, and she broke down sobbing. But he
he promised that he was always going to be by
her side and that she wasn't going to deal with
it alone and that he was going to protect her,
and and and they had a very nice moment, and
they made their way back.
Speaker 1: Where we found Bagel, and.
Speaker 3: Bagel was like Bragel, Bagel, Bagel, and Bagel was like,
we were like, Bagel, what's going on?
Speaker 1: He was like Bagel, Bagel, Bagel, Bagel, and it was
like what laymana fell down the well again?
Speaker 6: Bagel?
Speaker 1: Bagel, bagel? What what do you mean? Oh?
Speaker 9: Wait?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And Lilia contacted her father and it turns out
that they're following Conglo to the pit of Dangers and
never asking.
Speaker 2: They contacted their father and they're like, fucking Luckily, one
of one of the governors has told us he knows
a way to the surface, so we're following him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one that as.
Speaker 3: Far as we we we know is containing Gotham. But
you know, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: It'll be fine.
Speaker 2: He's just a little goblin. And I want to I
want to point this out just because it's a pretty
key thing that happened, just for for Carrie's sake. So
Un also tested the limits of how much you guys
can hear about the parasite stuff and established that you
can hear like you guys can hear about like its
existence without freezing up. But he tried to tell Lilya
about Lily's past and it caused Lila to double over
in pain. So you guys still can't hear specific details
about yourselves and your actual memories.
Speaker 1: New plan.
Speaker 4: We each individually find out the stuff about the others.
Speaker 2: Also, he tested whether or not he could tell you
guys the name of the thing finally, which he can,
and the name of the quote unquote parasite which he
talked about being in Archway is Neftaria, Yeah, Harrian. And
he went into a bunch of detail you guys can
talk about more in game. And he went into a
bunch of detail about how like all the effects are
part of their domain of delight, spreading into the material plane,
and like it has to obey by certain rules and yeah,
so Un has dedicated himself to being like, you know
what that temple that I came here ten years ago
to go find and then I gave up on because
people got hurt. We're going to find it. So so
Un has committed to being with the party once you
guys leave the town up until the end of this. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we speed dialed Gag. I forgot that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's true. Yeah. We were like, we were
like come here, and he was like, no, you come here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, yeah, he was like I'll take you to
my town, but no you yeah, we.
Speaker 3: We we learned that Lilya's family was still in uh
in the Dropping Edge. They're following a governor, which we
have reason to believe it could be Conglo or maybe
someone else, but right now Conglo is the only none
of the only surviving governor we know of the.
Speaker 2: Only other governor that might have survived was Missus Southwestern.
But you guys haven't seen it. Yeah, so we also
have to at some point we'll come back and check
on that might be a thing later.
Speaker 6: We got to check on the.
Speaker 1: Kid of the.
Speaker 2: Guy that one that one manner, the guy's manner. Yeah,
I was actually about to know that because I didn't
want that to go as well. Uh, the carry this
might be relevant to you for reasons.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: The Undertowe noted that someone has been whole ling themselves
up in the old mctraw estate, that one that you
guys broke into. That somebody, so they think that the
remain if there are any remaining cultists, they think they're
there because someone has hold himself up there and has
boarded it closed from the inside.
Speaker 5: I'm assuming we have no more word on my.
Speaker 1: Man, Maurice.
Speaker 2: Correct, not a damn correct. The last thing anyone heard
was Maurice was like, I'm gonta, I'm gonna go hide somewhere.
Speaker 6: I think that no one's gonna look.
Speaker 2: And then he succeeded because wherever he ended up, no
one can find him. So you know what successful success.
Speaker 6: Because I have set up the out.
Speaker 2: Party, an entire block alreaty, like, oh wow, they cordoned
off the street in front of my house, buzzing down,
rude and just to sorry to sego today's game. The
last thing that happened, Yeah, was a bunch of Undertow
members and Bagel came running by the group, Uh, chased
by this large, undead looking golam that was made from
like the parts of a bunch of different animals merged
together this like big draconic, bloodborne ass thing, which will
be a creature that would be available in three Gentle Sins,
the next splashbook coming out. Uh, you guys fought that,
and then the Undertow members told you guys that they
had been following Layuna toward world Town and that that
thing showed up and chased everyone away from Layuna, who
seems to just be stumbling their way toward world Town,
and the group split up. Some of them went to
look for Layuna. I would like the group to reassert
who is going to do that at this point. But
that is what we stopped on last time, and with that,
I think we couldn't come into today's game. Hell yeah,
so so so so so so so so.
Speaker 6: Real real fast.
Speaker 2: Um. I feel really bad. I can't share the ambience
effects with you guys because, like to me, those make
a big chunk of the atmosphere. But tis the bot,
tis how it is? All right, group, remind me who's
going where?
Speaker 6: I gotta I gotta go after Leona?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What was it we assumed? We assumed that Pepper, Lawrence,
and Desmond were all going after Leluna. Was that if
I recall.
Speaker 5: That makes sense?
Speaker 6: Yeah? That was the three that were originally going.
Speaker 2: The other team, Scarn and Lilia. What are you guys
going to do? Then?
Speaker 6: Ummm, I'm on your side. I basically accomplished by uh
object was at this point?
Speaker 2: Umm?
Speaker 3: I think if I remember correctly, and I could be wrong,
I unfortunately do not remember. I think we were going
to the dropping to.
Speaker 1: The dropping edge.
Speaker 2: You guys are in the dropping edge pit right now.
Speaker 1: Okay we're in Okay, we're in it. Okay, we're in it.
Speaker 5: That I heard you're pouring a drink or something logan
you could sound.
Speaker 2: Oh I wasn't boring it, but I mean I was
pouring it in my mouth.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, oh brother, I think we we got bagel,
don't we We have bagel.
Speaker 2: We're bagel our bagels.
Speaker 3: I can't remember because we we had just fought something
when last session ended.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, the b Scole, it's dead.
Speaker 6: I cannot go.
Speaker 2: I don't think go down. But the way just for
LORI for Carrie. I guess this is what you fought.
This is what the party fought last time.
Speaker 6: Oh yeahs like yeah.
Speaker 2: I like him.
Speaker 4: I like that his wings are a little bit like
small for his body, so he might kind of struggle
to fly.
Speaker 8: I love him.
Speaker 5: I would never fight him.
Speaker 4: You did, you did no, just as she made a
terrible decision, I would never.
Speaker 6: Fight you win zanitzu mode and just turned off your brain.
Oh okay, that's I'm trying to think the things you
all know about.
Speaker 7: You know, obviously we're rushing off because Lena is possibly
get themselves into some trouble.
Speaker 6: We have Hammershaw's kid.
Speaker 7: He's related to Desmond more than any of you, but
we know he's been setting up bombs and he's somewhere
near the dropping edge bit.
Speaker 6: And then we have whoever staying in the old mctros.
Speaker 7: State or kind of the three major things we know about.
Speaker 6: And uh, because we've.
Speaker 7: Scouts Lowtown downtown's fucked something that we.
Speaker 2: The people for we had to like help them.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to think there's nothing wrong at the Temple
of the Moon Rabbit.
Speaker 6: I don't think so right now, and the undertow HQ
has been secured for a while. Yeah, I think both
communities of survivors are good.
Speaker 7: We're planning on obviously, whenever we resolve any of this,
we have to deal with Netaria.
Speaker 6: But I can't think of any other pressing the group.
Speaker 2: Main plan, like, once you guys leave the town is
go with so Oon, meet CAG, go to Darkland, go
to the Final Temple. That's like the overarching plan.
Speaker 1: I don't think you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys definitely didn't have any coming out of
last session. Some of you went off to Leuna, the
others didn't I think have a thing that they said
they wanted to do at that time. They were just like,
we'll figure it out GM wise, just give you as hotspots. Yeah,
it's either finding uh that can Brock or the stuff
at the old MCTRIALA state at the old mctrial Estate, Matriale,
old Man, mctraw.
Speaker 1: Old Man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Rock could be closer. Obviously you don't know him
as well.
Speaker 7: And Desmond's kind of rush that's I think that's a
desmondism though.
Speaker 6: So but we can deal with him before we go.
Speaker 7: It's not like he's about to rewire and blow these
caves now.
Speaker 6: It's going to take him like at least four or
five days to get this all back up.
Speaker 2: Also, if the cult's deal with like.
Speaker 11: Yeah, eventually he should realize the people walking out of
the crack around aren't cultists. Ye, unless he's very sage case,
that's a dangerous combination being that good with Bob and that.
Speaker 2: We'll tell you, well, why don't you guys think about that?
You guys think about what you two and Bagel want
to do. In the meantime, we will start with the
pursuing Layuna group. So you guys, you guys have actually,
you guys have actually never been to world Town in
this entire campaign. You almost went there once and then
you didn't. World Town we go, so the lowest it
is the lowest pit. Technically I mean, technically the recluded
pits are a bit lower, but it is the lowest
pit in there. The main river that runs through the
I don't know if I'm using the term aquifers properly,
but runs through the aquifers here does go to World Town.
World Town is also probably the most interesting pit in
the pits in that And I'm telling this. I'm telling
you guys this because obviously, like some of you live here,
World Town has a colossil like skyscraper esque cylindrical device
a building on the map you can see it's called
the Buckling Foundry on the map that resides at the
center of a massive mechanically induced whirlpool. It is just
this pillar of ancient technology that was there when the
town was built that goes from the ceiling down into
the water, creates a whirlpool, pulls in the river that's there.
No one knows what's underneath it. But because it is
in constant motion, and because there are gears and whatnot
that are constantly moving inside, the town rigged a bunch
of machinery to it to make use of it, like
a giant generator, and it is used for a lot
of processing. There's been a lot of scaffolding and a
lot of additions that have been made on top of
it that are used to generate energy to process metals
to turn machinery, but no one knows exactly why it's there.
On all people can tell that Congo is the governor. Yep,
you guys almost went there.
Speaker 6: That's in my not he can.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna erase this point one second, but yeah it is. Uh.
Speaker 6: I made all those three.
Speaker 2: Oh gotcha?
Speaker 6: Cool?
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm just trying to make.
Speaker 1: Sure we have we long rested or anything.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you guys could short rest on
your way there if you want to.
Speaker 1: Do would you play?
Speaker 2: How many short rest does everybody have?
Speaker 7: Actually I already did and I burned all of my
hit die. I don't need a short rest because I
can't benefit from it.
Speaker 4: Oh we had benefit though, yeah, hold on one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you guys, I should have used your hit
die as well. Laurie. I don't know how many you
have left, but.
Speaker 2: I'm just everybody want me to hit the short rest button.
Does everybody have short short rest left? Have you taken two?
Speaker 12: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, then I'm going to hit the short rest button.
If you don't need take it. If you don't take it,
just don't market bam everybody use your hip dye and stuff.
Speaker 5: I have zero, but I'm going to play song of rest.
Speaker 1: Oh, Laurie, I love.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, song of rest only works for people
who use a hip dye.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh Mike, Okay, it's for Pepper.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's literally just for pepper.
Speaker 1: So yeah, is that all you got?
Speaker 9: Really?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 1: One more? I'm still so orrid.
Speaker 5: Fuck I could give you another D six that's all
I got.
Speaker 1: That would be nice.
Speaker 2: Oh it's gone healing.
Speaker 1: You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My cousins used to play this. If only I had
the bottles, I could play my part. You don't how
to play the jugs.
Speaker 5: That makes sense, thanks Aaron.
Speaker 1: Oh no, of course, junk. That makes sense that that
brought a little bit. You know what. You rallied the
troops on that one, Laurie.
Speaker 5: Welcome, gotcha, Pat Pat pat.
Speaker 2: Hm anyway le you and it might be about to
kill herself, so why don't we. Desmond's literally fauling it
down a bit. I'm like, group you guys head toward
lowtown as you do, just because it's on your mind.
You pass by the lines of explosives that have been
wired into the tunnels, which still remain. You passed into
the beginning of Lowtown, would cross over that for bridge
that goes over the river. You pass it, begin running
by side the river down the curving pit. There are
genuinely parts of this trip where you could almost if
you wanted to, just sort of slide your way down
like some of these these inclines declines are steep enough
that you could just sort of, like action, slide down
chunks of it. As you guys do, you begin to
nothing so specific as like scarns, could visions or anything.
But as you guys do, there is a chill that
begins to come out of Whorldtown as you descend down
into it. Normally it's very warm, there's a lot of
machinery set up here, there's a lot of energy being generated.
But as you get closer to it and you hear
the constant dull clanking and shifting of roiling water and
of the machinery that's hooked up to the foundry. As
you move forward, you start to feel feel like the
air is cold, and after a few moments, specifically you
pepper because you've been around this kind of energy you feel.
You realize what you're feeling is not chill. It is
more like an emptiness, like the air is being sapped
it of its warmth and its its brightness.
Speaker 6: It is just.
Speaker 1: About to say it.
Speaker 2: Is. It's not icy. It is like the absence. As
you proceed down, you guys come within view of World Town,
which from where you guys are is you proceed down
around here, you would see across the river there's the
elevated cliff upon which there's like a small community and whatnot.
There's not a ton of residential areas in World Town
because of the noise the foundry causes. Most of the
residents are in the recluded bits a little bit above it.
It's mostly like a little mini town, mini market here.
But you see over there you destroyed houses. You see
the results of the of the attack. The cult got
here too. Obviously, this place is in as bad a
condition as everything else in the town. And as you
proceed down head along the side of it, I would
like all three of you to make me a perception check.
It is not based on here, because the sound in
here would be too overwhelming.
Speaker 12: That's true, you know, that makes I have I've got
specially Yeah, the special ear is going to be Yeah, baby,
that's a one that would also be that would be
a one for Pepper as well.
Speaker 1: I said it.
Speaker 6: Wait, that's a one M two.
Speaker 9: It.
Speaker 2: Do you want to use battle luck twice because you're
not in combat right now? You could use it for
both of them.
Speaker 6: Battle luck because it makes me.
Speaker 2: Very Yeah, actually, Pepper's rolled with advantage. Let's just count
the second one as the right one, so we'll just
take the eighteen. Uh, Lawrence, do you want to read yours? Yes.
As you get to about Heishu and begin passing by
the very thin forested area that is like this swampy
mostly dead trees and such forested area that runs along
the side of the whirlpool, you have one like one
moment whether you have a vantage point over toward the
bridge that connects the main area, the main chunk of
the cliff over to the foundry. And as you see this,
Pepper and Lawrence, you guys briefly catch a glimpse of
standing on this large brid that spans the massive mechanical
tower in the and the cliff, you see a figure
that looks to be Leyuna standing, not like on the edge.
Nothing so dramatic is standing like on the edge, like
trying to jump or anything. But you see them standing
beside another individual who is about a foot foot and
a half taller than them, that you don't recognize, difficult
to see through the roiling mists and like the occlusion
caused by the caves in the water. But you see
that they seem to be standing talking to somebody. You
obviously can't hear any of it. There is a whirlpool
directly underneath where they are. It is hard to hear
each other, let alone hear anything from there. But you
see that Leyuna seems to have stopped and is in
the lonesome the isolation of this abandoned pit, appears to
be talking to somebody. One assumes that you guys continue
moving along this way. Yes, but.
Speaker 5: Right, I think we all notice.
Speaker 2: Right Not Desmond? Desmond rolled, Oh okay, look there's right there, Desmond,
you now notice.
Speaker 8: There you go?
Speaker 2: Also, I doubt you say it that quietly. Because you
say that quietly, Desmond doesn't hear you.
Speaker 4: No, I would get right right up to his ear.
I can't some more fucking styles, just both of us
in either ear Desmond.
Speaker 2: She's right there. Just Desmond continues to not hear anything.
Desmond continues here just from the water. There you go.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go out there. I don't have the tap
tap tap top Desmond point.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: Dang it.
Speaker 13: Sorry, if I'm talking loud, I can't tell her no
the nomber shut the funk up.
Speaker 4: She's gonna hear.
Speaker 6: You turned on this out long where Desmond.
Speaker 1: There you go following. I'm like holding my ears shut
because it's really much louder to me. Yeah, all you
you're the fucking radar ears. Okay, serious, don't do it.
I'm sorry, serious.
Speaker 2: Mode, Jesus Christ. So Desmond, you're now aware that Layan
is over there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's moving now with purpose rather than kind of
looking around for them.
Speaker 6: He'll make uh, he'll make his way straight towards the
buckling Founder.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, Okay, you guys continue absolutely, You guys continue
your way around as you do. As you continue to move, Desmond,
I would say, you note that that missed that pale
mist that you know to now be an effect of
the disease that it is spreading of Amniousis you notice
that as you go into the lower sections of World Town.
It appears to be here, but you also note that
it appears to be limited to the water. It appears
to be being pulled down by the Buckling Foundry into
the water, into the whirlpool in a weight that doesn't
quite make visual sense to you, but it's as if
the Buckling Foundry is also causing the amniotic mist to
pour into it and being pulled into the water below.
As you guys continue along the cliff, along the side
and head toward the bridge connecting to the Buckling Foundry,
which is a long stone and wooden bridge. It's not
quite as long as it was represented by on the map,
and you get to the end of it, about one
hundred feet away, you see Leyuna and you see that
they are standing, their eyes still vacant, their mannerisms still blank,
their arms just hanging loosely at their side as they're
looking up at an individual who is standing looking down
toward them. This very refined, looking, relatively handsome elf who
appears to be dressed in what look to be the
clothes and mantle of a noble. Most of their clothes
are dyed in shades of dark red and black. They
have finery and jewelry hanging across them. They have some
sparse armor on them that looks like a metallic bone
like metal fashioned into the shape of bone, specifically like
on their arms. This dark elf that you see has
white hair that is gently wafting down the side of
their head, covering with their eyes. From the angle you
can see them. Their skin is this light lavender hue,
and they are standing in front of Layuna, one of
their hands upon her chin like almost a father attending
a child, pulling their chin up, and they seem to
be inspecting her, slowly moving her head from side to
side as friends people, You guys, you catch a glimpse
of the fact that they are wearing the one of
the colt's masks hanging from their chest as you see
the individual in front of you.
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh no, you're cool, You're scary.
Speaker 5: I love the mismatched boots.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's an occlusion thing.
Speaker 5: No, they're wearing mismatch boots.
Speaker 2: Okay, they have mismatched boots. Yah. They don't seem to
be taking any immediate notice of you guys as they speak.
They do not have that weapon and with them in
general right now, couldn't really remove it from the art
without it looking auspicious. But they they do not have
that weapon with them. They are simply standing seemingly inspecting Leyuna.
Speaker 6: Who's fucking like daddy?
Speaker 2: Is that at.
Speaker 7: The distance as quickly and as quietly as possible if
he's ignoring it?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, let's stalk that. That's a great idea.
Speaker 2: Sneak, sneaksy I know, ex that's crazy, well technically wow.
As you proceed forward, despite the sound of the whirlpool
that is literally under your feet right now, without looking
over to you, this dark elf opens their mouth to
begin to speak, and though they speak in a very
hush tone, their voice seems to cut through the noise
around them, and you get the sense that they are
talking to you guys. As you approach, despite not turning
their attention directly to you, as just very softly you hear.
It's would seem that I am being punished. Do you
think that that's fair?
Speaker 6: It's not even close to fair. Step away from the girl, Ethicus.
Speaker 2: My Lord Gotham has become aware that I have found
a means to autonomy and to lash out at me.
He has decided to take things that I love you,
and the individual slowly turns. You see uh, strangely gentle
forgiving look in this individual's eyes. I have been watching
most of you, seeing you through the reflections in crystals.
You were there when Mountheris died.
Speaker 6: Of course you were watching.
Speaker 2: You already know who I am, but allow me to
introduce myself formerly formerly as you suspect. I am Decay's equerry, Ethicus,
a former member of and he raises his hand in
the direction of Pepper, a former member of your very institution,
and a man who, it seems is not at all
capable of protecting the things that he loves. You've done
a very good job dismantling my branch of the cult,
I must say.
Speaker 7: Not a good enough job. Apparently you haven't noticed the
gesture slightly behind him with his gun.
Speaker 2: Well, they did a very good job as well, But
in the end they did not persevere. They were not united.
Perhaps they may have been if Gotham hadn't seen to
I want to say, betray me, But that would be
disingenuous of me, wouldn't.
Speaker 7: It colored me jaded? But I don't really think there's
much betrayal to be had in your cult. I don't
think any of you can trust each other anyways?
Speaker 2: Have you not seen those who had followed under me
had absolute trust in each other and in me, and
despite knowing that I was the cause of their home
suffering like this, and he turns toward Layuna, who he
still has his hand like holding the chin of even
my daughter still held a great deal of love for me.
Speaker 6: You don't have the right to call to that.
Speaker 2: If it weren't for me, all three of them would
have died quite young. But you're right. I believe that
Muntheris would be able to deal with all of you,
and in believing that I left her out to die.
Contribution to this cult was never the same as my
intention for it. I wanted to find Gotham's idealized eternal
life so that I would never lose anyone. But what
Gotham wanted of me was the construction of the only
member of my chapter of the cult that he had
any interest in, be it as a vessel or as
one of his favorite souls. My purpose was to raise Monttherus,
and now that she is gone, Gotham has seen fit
to punish all.
Speaker 6: Of us care and elaborate with that. Isn't it going
to close the gap a little bit more.
Speaker 2: I know that you already know about what I had
done during my time with the College. I took ribs
from one of Gotham's previous incarnations, and I placed them
within four children, my own son at first, but then
when my wife fled with him and I believed him
to be dead, I turned toward three other children, initially
used as prototypes these Hatterisland triplets. One died eroded slowly
over the course of their life, one had no reaction
at all, my dear Leona, and the final one went Theeris.
Once her mind was turned toward undeath. Once she saw
things my way, she became an ideal vessel or partner
for Gotham. I believe that he tolerated me, gave me
influence so that I might nurture her my own dreams
of keeping my loved ones near me. They were just
a means for Gotham to keep me under his sway.
But I allowed Muntheris to be killed, hoping that she
would be able to deal with you herself. And now
that I have found a source of power and influence
that does not rely on Gotham, I suppose he realizes
that I don't need him anymore, so he lashed out.
He took it out on poor lay You now, sorry, student,
what did you say?
Speaker 1: What other source.
Speaker 2: Sagony's throat?
Speaker 1: Heh comes back to Adie's throat.
Speaker 2: Ever since I found it, ever since I had found it,
I had been tempted by the vast amounts of power
that lay below that crystal lake, Another worldly power, one
that could sway memories and dreams, one made of an
energy that could change the nature of reality of idemancy.
I have been trying to attune to it, hoping to
bring the fruits of my labor back to help my fall,
But I had not been successful in time Luna's she is,
unfortunately all of our victim currently. The moment you killed
Muntheris and you deprived Gotham of the most precious toy
that existed under my control, he took it out on
the remaining sister, used his influence though the rib that
I put inside of her to make her nothing but
a blank vessel. But blank vessel or not. When she
felt my call, she came to me. The bonds that
hold us together, that connect me and my daughters, they
are indelible, Gotham could never deprive us of them. And
you see them move their hand and very affectionately stroke
the side of Leyuna's face, which is mostly unresponsive. You
see the very minor smile, the faintest smile on Leyuna
when that happens. The only reason I came back here
when I did was to see what Gotham had done
to you, and to bring you back to me. This
is all my fault.
Speaker 6: Finally something we can agree on.
Speaker 2: She is the victim of my ambition.
Speaker 6: We're gonna find her help.
Speaker 7: But if you want to live long enough figures soon
to rip your heart out of your chest, let's step
away from the girl.
Speaker 2: That was my other reason for coming. I have seen
through shadows shown to me through Crystal as, I have
watched the memories of this town pour down into Acony's throat.
My son lives. You see him perk up, very declaratively.
He says that out, and it catches and echoes through
world town. And not only that, Gotham has not seen
fit to deprive me of him as well. Either he
cannot or he is still a pond beyond both of
our controls. I may yet be reunited with my son.
We may yet be a family.
Speaker 6: I guess you haven't been watching all of us.
Speaker 2: Then, clearly that he does not understand.
Speaker 1: I find he understands all too well the bastardization of
magic that the college gave you. You were given access,
and you decided to play this sick game involving your children.
Do you know Chius may be infallible?
Speaker 2: Do you know how long I will live?
Speaker 7: Give it one of your sew seconds if you don't
step away from the girl.
Speaker 2: My natural lifespan far exceeds even any of yours. But
I fell in love with a woman with a lifetime
that would be less than a sixth of mine. And
we had a son who, because of her genes at best,
would live half of mine. These people, who I loved
so dearly, they could be taken from me by the
passage of time. What could I do but turn to
Gotham and it's idealized on death.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. You could cherish the time you fucking
have with them. You could try not to ruin the
time that they have. If you care about your family,
how can you put them through this? Everything Scarn has
been through. He had to kill his own mother through
some twisted science project of yours.
Speaker 4: The love that you have for the people that you
care about doesn't know way the love that they have
for the people they care about.
Speaker 6: You don't have to show them such kindness. Kid. She's
the garish responsible for your mom, dag.
Speaker 2: She is not dead. What I have seemed that.
Speaker 1: Where is she?
Speaker 2: Your mother helped me to find Agony's throat. I recognized
her pedigree. I recruited her under duress, but I saw
something akin to me in her. She had something to
protect DISLIKEIED did. But when for we found Agony's throat,
she tried to turn on me. I escaped her. She returned,
but then whilst I was trying to tame Agony's throat,
she appeared again. Something else controlling her, certainly something from
beneath the lake.
Speaker 6: And had escaped.
Speaker 2: Inhabited her. It wanted to destabilize my work, use my
control over Agony's throat to cause it to break open,
but she was not enough to do so. But since
your mother was connected to the lake, I saw fit
to suspend her, trap her in crystal, and use her
use her connection. She's not dead, but I have saved
her from being controlled by the shadow that is inhabiting her.
Speaker 6: You're using her like some.
Speaker 1: Sort of key battery.
Speaker 7: What use her use the girls use your son? Seems
like that's all you know how to do.
Speaker 2: That's possible, but I'm far too far along now.
Speaker 6: Luckily were here to finish it.
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't gain my influence and power from Gotham.
I was a high ranking member of the college. The
reason I gained control so quickly was because I already
had much to offer him. It's also why he doesn't
challenge me directly in his new pathetic vessel. That is
the one thing that remains confusing to me. And you
were there watching it closely. You don't owe me anything,
But may I ask a question of you?
Speaker 5: Who's that directed at?
Speaker 2: Broadly? All of you?
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm watting.
Speaker 7: I just look at Desmond this one cock his hammer
step away from Layuna and we can talk.
Speaker 2: He lowers his hand away from Leyuna. He doesn't fully
retract his hand, but he does pull it back until
it's in like a partial curl between the two of them.
If Gotham wanted Moon Theists so badly we had succeeded
in offering her up, he could have chosen to inhabit
her body to take her over as a vessel. She
was very willing, But when the ritual succeeded, when all
of you came close, what I saw from Afar was
that Gotham made a deliberate choice to inhabit neither my
son nor my daughter. And when you all killed Mum
Ferris and her body was cast down, it should have
washed up in Agony's throat. If his intention was in
fact based on my daughter.
Speaker 6: What is his plan for her? Do you think?
Speaker 2: Why did he refuse to inhabit her? And why hasn't
she shone up in the throat? I haven't been able
to put it together.
Speaker 7: You're not gonna get any good answers from me. I've
no fucking clue.
Speaker 2: That makes sense. Do you know the purpose of this device.
Speaker 6: That generates power for this part of the city.
Speaker 2: That's what it was co opted into doing when I
first came here. It's one of the first things I
researched when I was trying to find Agony's throat. Certainly,
for most people it would be suicide to use it
for this purpose, but functionally it carves a path towards
Agony's throat. It redirects the flow of water, not just here,
but it has a tectonic influence on the surrounding area.
It makes sure that all water that passes from the surface,
as well as the mists carried by it, make their
way toward the temples and then down toward the throat.
Which is why I've called my daughter here, because I
wish to see her again soon. And as he says that,
the hand that is partially outstretched moves forward and unceremoniously
pushes Leuna off of the bridge.
Speaker 1: Banishment. I vanished Lena. Oh fascinating, I remove her from
the equation, motherfucker.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a okay. So, first of all, just
checking it because of it's been a while since the game.
You have you short rested. Of course you have spell slots,
I did you, little warlock. Okay, get them, guys.
Speaker 1: Don't let me lose concentration.
Speaker 2: Holy fuck, Well, I mean you and she needs to fail, yeah,
baby girl. So I'm going to do two things. Uh.
First of all, before you cast, before she makes to save,
so obviously you have to react with this. He pushes her.
She stumbles most of the way, almost willingly, toward the
side of the bridge, by the way. What a choice
to not have Scarn here for this. When you guys
said that Scarn was like, I got other stuff to do.
I was like, well that changes what we're doing next time.
But uh, he as he pushes her, I want you
to roll me a spellcasting ability check to determine like
how quickly you do this?
Speaker 1: Oh my god?
Speaker 13: Okay, what is that? Okay, okay, I'm clicking it. I
didn't click the ribbing.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's really good.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: So almost immediately he moves his hand forward to push her.
He does. She stumbles back, and now we're gonna do
the banishment part, which, let me real quick, this whole
time I've.
Speaker 1: Been sitting here, like, can I tell Logan that I
prepare a spell? How do I navigate this? What do
I do? Because I mean the moment that we were here, I'm.
Speaker 2: Like you, you, you give me that big old roll.
You absolutely can do this. Basically as a reaction, I'm
gonna throw Leona on the combat tracker just so you
can like hit her with the save.
Speaker 6: Boom.
Speaker 2: There she is, Please roll the save against Oh man.
Speaker 1: If only someone could give her disadvantage.
Speaker 2: Oh man?
Speaker 5: Okay, if only.
Speaker 6: I'm looking through my ship eating popcorn.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, man, it is getting good, okay, as you do, so, okay, No,
I'm looking. I'm looking. I'm looking. I'm trying to figure
out what would give her.
Speaker 5: She has to fail at first for me this silvery
bar right, she.
Speaker 2: Has to succeed at first for you to give her.
Speaker 5: Silver rear succeeded.
Speaker 2: They have to succeed and then you can give him.
Speaker 5: You don't let you know. I have one first level
and one fourth level spell salt left.
Speaker 1: That's all I have. I mean, we have the same
amount of spells left. Cool, It's just it's one fourth
and one one first left.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, if my silvery barbs, this is the
only silvery barbs I have.
Speaker 1: That's it, okay, I'm I'm not gonna tell you what
to do with your stuff. I just wanted to make
sure you have I will, but I'm just letting you know, like, hopefully.
Speaker 2: It fails, all right, Am I good to roll it?
That's I'll take that. As he yes, that sounded like
a yes to me, but sorry, she fails what she
rolls a nine? So as he as he pushes her
her momentum and whatnot. She's basically it's all gonna basically
be suspended. As she does you cast it, there is
a sweep of magical energy that pushes over the two
of them. Ethicus, not looking at her when he pushed her,
doesn't look at her. Now she vanishes. There is effectively
a gust of wind, and she is simply gone. His
hair flutters slightly, and without looking over toward where she is,
his hand lowers. You what deprived me of my daughter?
Speaker 6: You don't get to call her that? And you're not
taking anything else from me. Yeah, I'm gonna shoot him.
Speaker 2: We are gonna so two things are gonna happen. I'm
gonna throw a map at you guys.
Speaker 1: What why?
Speaker 2: Who's to say?
Speaker 5: Crazy?
Speaker 2: Give me one second while I set it up as
I would like you guys to all roll initiative, Please
scarn and Lilya, you guys might just be on deck
a little bit today. I apologize, God, damn despot. Realize
this would have happened before anything was spoken.
Speaker 6: As soon as he first said his name, Damn.
Speaker 2: Would I would have immediately just started rolling. I would
have started rolling d twenties with like minus fives.
Speaker 6: I'm like sharp shooter.
Speaker 2: Don't you don't you think that it's don't you think
it's weird that my gotham is? Okay, but do you mind?
Can we talk?
Speaker 1: Look like undertail boy.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna throw you guys into kind of generally
random I understand that.
Speaker 1: I'm so scared, guys. Don't let him hit me. I
can't save.
Speaker 6: Her for accidentally final balls.
Speaker 1: Also also a little bit. I don't have a concentration
effect for uh for for banish. But it's yeah, the
inpassionately it's on them.
Speaker 6: It just doesn't shop in your sheet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's on them. I'm saying, oh, yeah, the them,
it's on them.
Speaker 1: Yes, King, Yes, King, You're so right, so sorry, so
sorry king.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna put him about there? What can you
be scared of?
Speaker 6: No, have fun? Give me all of the advantages for
me to remember later.
Speaker 1: I Hey, look at me, got them? Bye girl. Oh
he's gonna be coming for the buns.
Speaker 2: Heck, I'm making.
Speaker 1: Making I'm I I might, I might have to.
Speaker 2: I'll do this.
Speaker 1: Oh no, okay, wait, no, I can fix this. Okay.
Speaker 2: Sorry, you guys should be able to hear music, So
there you go.
Speaker 6: Enjoy this.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're not making.
Speaker 2: No way on second. Yeah, did you guys all roll?
Speaker 1: They reveals he's a Mecca?
Speaker 5: Ye ye oh finally bums out of the water.
Speaker 6: This is the first time I've ever lost to Laurie
an initiative.
Speaker 4: Crazy, wild shit, Laurie, why are you fucking ready to go?
Speaker 1: Stop it?
Speaker 6: He killed your mom? Could partially.
Speaker 2: He's fucking feeding So far as it matters, I am
going to change your initiative to be at the top
because you you initiated shooting him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a little bonus.
I'm gonna put you at twenty whyness Okay, so curious
I haven't rolled for them. It won't matter. You'll be
at the top no matter what.
Speaker 6: Let me just.
Speaker 2: Real quick, where's your initiative button? Buddy?
Speaker 1: Buddy?
Speaker 2: Okay, I think this will be fine.
Speaker 1: It's tabasco with me. I guess I would I would
have my familiar No we I didn't say it before.
Speaker 2: Never mind, I think this is fine. You guys are fine.
What could go wrong?
Speaker 1: Hellogan?
Speaker 2: Does mean?
Speaker 1: Imagine you're writing on a board killed You're up first.
Speaker 6: Very be closer. So let's be closer. Oh good, you
minimize the music by the way.
Speaker 2: Oh fuck, I brought it back. Oh no, I minimized
it again reflectively, I fixed it.
Speaker 1: We could you start it at the beginning? Could we
didn't get to hut the fol there. It's just it's
really good. October did a good job.
Speaker 2: It's true.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 7: Donet's gonna flash forward and he's gonna just drop two
shots towards Athink's chest.
Speaker 6: All Righty wants to get there. See, I don't know
if it's going to do disadvantage until I move. Can
you prove that movement for me.
Speaker 2: As you move toward him, I'd like you to roll
me your choice of a nature or perception.
Speaker 6: Check it's nature a perception.
Speaker 1: It's a perception, better that discrace.
Speaker 6: Nope, get them. It's a ten that averages a heck.
Speaker 2: Oh never, Alrighty, you don't. Then everything is as it is.
Speaker 6: Natural one into an eleven twenty four.
Speaker 2: You've gotten so much mind out of being a halfling.
You rush forward me.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be a halfling next time, for fucking real.
Speaker 2: Next campaign. All half links, you s all halflings?
Speaker 1: You sell halflings?
Speaker 2: Here we go? All right, as you rush forward. You
you fire, He doesn't seem interested in dodging.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 2: He does put his hand out to the side, but
it doesn't seem for the sake of spell casting. But
he does raise it up to the left side of him.
Go ahead, roll your damage. You hit him.
Speaker 6: You're not undead.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: He does not seem to count as undead.
Speaker 7: All right, I'm on my favorite target on him.
Speaker 6: That one does not matter.
Speaker 5: I got it.
Speaker 2: Fo thirty. Roll your damage and then roll me another
perception check.
Speaker 6: All right, fuck image forty.
Speaker 2: You nasty beat his ass. As you shoot toward him,
you damage his body. You can see notable definitive damage
on it as you hit him.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: You he does let out this subdued but very prominent
But as you hit him, and as that bullet goes
in one side of his shoulder and out the other
rather than bleed, you see what appears to be water
escape in the place of blood.
Speaker 4: Oh simular, Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Baby, I don't fuck don't lord, don't don't act like
I know either way, it's probably not him.
Speaker 2: This is what we're getting at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I just him a nerd, and I
know what that means sort.
Speaker 4: Of Okay, shut, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Do you want to roll me in Arkana Pepper to
see how much you know about Yes?
Speaker 8: I do.
Speaker 2: We'll say. This is both you trying to remember what
you know about that and trying to see if it
makes sense for what you're seeing.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm clenching my cheese.
Speaker 6: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: As soon as this hints, as soon as this hits,
you're like, that's a simulacrum. That is a fucking that
is a fucking fake Ethicus made of snow. Look, you're immediate,
you get it immediately.
Speaker 1: It's a focus. It's a fake. It's the focus. Oh
my god, that's so fucking cool. Okay, do we still
hit it? Just try to get out of here along
with you. I mean, I think you'll probably be easy.
So when I wrote that, what do I know about
simulacrum that might apply?
Speaker 2: You know that they basically have the capabilities of the
creature that they're emulating when they're made. If they possessed
the did not possessed the ability to regenerate or to
regain their abilities. So like, for example, if a player
were to cast it, they would make a copy. The
copy would have half hit points. They would have their spells,
spell slots, equipment, and what have you, but they can't
regain features, they can't take rest to regain spell slots,
they can't recover from wounds naturally. Whether or not Ethicus
is him self aware of what this one is doing,
or whether or not he's piloting it mechanically, no, but
narratively you would know that that's kind of a quirk
of the mage. You get the sense that probably Ethicus
is acting through his simulacrum right now. It's because you
rolled a twenty, so it's capable of And I'll also
tell you that it's likely, from a narrative point of view,
not likely to have, for example, legendary actions and such
if the original does. That's not a rule, but spoiler. Yeah,
but he's basically capable of everything the original is, but
is less durable, and any damage done to him is
effectively permanent.
Speaker 1: It means we can get him. We can do this.
Speaker 2: Laura Man Pepper really paid attention in simulacrum class.
Speaker 1: Can you do with a copy of yourself?
Speaker 5: I was like sitting in the back of the class.
Speaker 1: Do you know how much laundry Pepper could get done
with a simulacrum.
Speaker 2: And it makes sense to you because he, despite being
this necromancer, this agent of Gotham, his primary calling was
he was an arch mage at the at the college.
All right, his precious.
Speaker 6: Cuts and he can't even show up yourself. Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: It is now going to be it technically would be
lay In his turn, but it's not going to because
Layon is a not viy. Yep, that's true, Lawrence. It
is your turn, Pepper. You are on deck. Yes, she's banished,
is currently suspended. She is, she is, She's still sort
of falling, but she is in a bubbles safer than
she was. It's really funny because this is also you
had to do this to save her from falling before.
It's well, no, the bubble, yeah.
Speaker 1: Which I no longer have the curriculum spell force. So
I was like racking my brain, like, all right, how
do I remove laurent problem from this equation?
Speaker 2: What to do?
Speaker 4: I'm scooty, scooting forward so that stuff's within range.
Speaker 15: I'm a mama, mama, Mama, Mom doesn't lack lets lets.
Speaker 5: Let's thunder tongue, bitch, what a thunder tongue?
Speaker 4: Okay, doing our best with her, fucking cand trips here
because Wayne got his brows huckin.
Speaker 14: Yep, I'm just gonna look at him and be like, well,
fugging de Fike ass bitches, fugging did Die.
Speaker 6: Strip and bitch ass piece of ship.
Speaker 2: Elliott Laurence over here being grim jad, I'm gonna get you.
I'm just gonna right, it's gonna grab your live it up.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to talk to Desmond about that potty mouth.
Speaker 2: He succeeds, Boh, it's.
Speaker 4: Not worth my spell slot to try to fucking get
make your.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, like, no, it's not fun to.
Speaker 1: Let him deflect. That's what I'm knowing. That's my bonus,
ass my child.
Speaker 4: Okay, good, I see he's learning things from the both
of us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stones have to start paying shots of pone.
Speaker 2: No, his turn, Pepper, you're still on deck. Ah. So
as as he acts, Desmond somewhat responding to what you
said to him. He keeps his hand out to the
side of him, and he turns it so that his
palm is facing away from you, and you see only
because it makes itself apparent. This roiling puddle of what
looks like black sludge and muck underneath him expands out
as if his shadow came to life and became this
puddle of moving tar, and from it the handle of
the site that you can see in his image slowly
rises and he grabs it and draws it out from it.
As he does this, that puddle shifts and pulls off
of him, moves along the ground past you, out toward
the others, And as it does, he does very softly.
If I were to come on my own right now,
I would be condemning you and your town to a
fate most cruel. Certainly I'm unsavory, especially from your point
of view. But right now I am trying to prevent
a greater tragedy and turn it into my benefit. He
then takes a step forward, and as you hear his
first footstep clack along the bridge, he disappears. He is gone,
and he is going I'm going to have to do
two things real quick.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: No, actually, you know well he probably wouldn't do that
for this. He is going to look over to where
Pepper is. No, he is going to raise a hand.
He turns his palm over and you see this complex
series of sigils and ruins, these magic circles coalescing into
each other form and draw themselves in his palm. He
then grips his hand around it, and when he opens it,
very suddenly, this massive circle of dark energy expands out
from underneath where you are.
Speaker 1: Pepper circle of death.
Speaker 2: Hi, a massive circle, this ruine circle that coalesces and
moves and shifts that with it, these dark hands made
of arcade energy being clawing their way up, trying to
grasp at the feet of whomever's standing within it appears.
He then moves his hand and he shifts it upward.
Heck in very napa, destroying the city. When he did it.
As he does, an eruption of necrotic energy blooms out
from that space. All three of you are going to
need to make a saving throw. Oh my god, all
three of you.
Speaker 1: Ah, oh, it's oh no, it's not being uh. This
wouldn't interact with the scaup of protection, would it, Because
it's a uh. If if I fail a seeming throw
against a necromancy spell or harmful effect originating from a
you're not an undone creature, Ethicus, But we're gonna But
if it's a it's a necromancy spell.
Speaker 2: It is one of the big necromancy spells. You might argue,
I can.
Speaker 1: I can use a charge and turn it into its
six successful throws.
Speaker 2: So if you fail, you can use a charge to
make it a success instead.
Speaker 1: Oh can I do that for the others?
Speaker 2: No? No, all right, So please make this con save
fourteen Desmond fails, Lawrence, we need you to make a save.
Carrie did carry step away?
Speaker 6: Ah?
Speaker 2: They be rb ah nuts.
Speaker 1: Fifteen expend my scare protect use.
Speaker 2: You do fail you fail?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I will use my skirit. Let me click.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use your scare. Okay, so you succeed instead,
I will detarget you. I'll have to have Louri make
it afterward. But for now, Desmond, you failed it. So
we'll catch up with that in a second. I wish
he can carry headn't disiderment you can win to fucking
poop at such an opportune time or whatever she's doing. Desmond,
you take that is so low for circle of death.
You take twenty two points of damage. That is an
incredibly forgiving circle of death.
Speaker 6: Yeah that could have been way worse.
Speaker 1: Uh, this is so mad that I disappeared his.
Speaker 2: Half the value you Pepper uh huh you take eleven?
Speaker 1: Oh that's still that still sucks for me. Gonna be real,
that's the.
Speaker 2: Saving throw that pops off of that.
Speaker 1: Uh uh, No saving throw popped up for me.
Speaker 2: There's no concentration check popped up for you.
Speaker 1: Nope.
Speaker 2: Did it do the damage?
Speaker 1: Put the effect on Luna? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Did you take the damage?
Speaker 1: Does?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Is that nearly max?
Speaker 2: Hmmm?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: Make me a constitution saving throw? I believe with advantage
because you have the advantage.
Speaker 1: Don't warlock thing? Okay? Uh? What was what was it again? Sorry?
Speaker 2: Conn constitution saving throw?
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you, I will.
Speaker 2: Oh yep.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a seven.
Speaker 2: So you're down to Also, you're down to twelve hit points.
So you fail. You drop concentration. As you do, Lena
pops back into existence and I'm you rolled so well
before that. I'm going to say that you managed to
do it before. She got too close to the edge.
But she stumbles over toward the side, reappearing and falls
down onto the ground. And in the state she's in,
she is does not have her wherewithal. She she doesn't
have the agency to stand up. She's not very quick witted,
so she hits the ground. Ethicus turns my daughter. That
was simple, turns over toward you, Pepper. I had worried
I was dealing with someone more competent from the college.
Speaker 1: Stay away from her.
Speaker 6: I take it.
Speaker 2: They must not have known from the get go that
I was here, or else they would have sent somebody else.
Speaker 1: No, that doesn't stop that. We're gonna beat you. We're
gonna end this all. First this hodge podge water down
bullshit of yours, and then we're coming for you, Ethiciss.
Speaker 2: He is going to take a couple of steps.
Speaker 6: Oh what was that?
Speaker 2: Oh you're finally you failed?
Speaker 1: Oh no fuck?
Speaker 2: Oh no, so you missed Circle of death? Here have
some circle of death damage?
Speaker 8: Fuck?
Speaker 1: It rolled low at least, yeah.
Speaker 2: He rolled only twenty two. It was an insanely forgiving
circle of death. What are you concentrating on?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Your justice.
Speaker 1: How do you make were concentrate on?
Speaker 5: You put something on it, says feature Forecaster.
Speaker 6: Why is it mean?
Speaker 5: You were the last one one?
Speaker 1: And Laurie So, I think it was the thing from
the last fight. Yeah, I was running away.
Speaker 6: I was just running his voice.
Speaker 2: I think I think you did. You did. Protection from
Good and Evil on scarn is still on, and that
might actually be from a while ago. I remove it,
so you take you take twenty two points of damage
from the world's most forgiving circle of death, just so
you know. Pepper lost concentration from it though. And Ethicus
then stepped toward Leuna, and they kneeled down to them
and put a hand out very gently, very helpfully toward
their daughter, as they would.
Speaker 1: How much did she fail it by it?
Speaker 5: Could I have given her a role to help?
Speaker 2: They failed it by three? Okay, I'm inclined to say
we're past it because you weren't here.
Speaker 1: You you ended your turn without giving it to me.
Speaker 2: Well, they can do it.
Speaker 1: The reaction it would be a leap of face, right.
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, I'm trying. I know I wasn't here.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I had to bathrooms.
Speaker 1: All It's leap of faith, right, that's the one or no?
Speaker 2: Huh yeah? Which, yes, I don't know one of your ability?
Speaker 9: Okay, sorry, uh a chat.
Speaker 1: Meent it? So I just roll my D eight right.
Speaker 2: Well, what did what does your features say?
Speaker 4: Thirty feet party inspiration at the result a possible changing
outcome because his r to succeed want.
Speaker 5: Of me about inspiration is consumed.
Speaker 1: You all I got so yeah.
Speaker 5: You roll yep, I roll it and see how much
we add.
Speaker 1: Aw Man, I won't how Ethic is talking shit to me.
If I succeed this, you don't still mass he's talking shit.
You're good.
Speaker 2: The world's most forgiving circle of death is met by
the world's most unforgiving bartic inspiration.
Speaker 1: Yeah bye, I tried, bitch. I tried. Didn't succeed though,
So I don't have.
Speaker 2: This burst of necrotic energy strikes all of you. The
ground itself around where it erupts seems to be decayed.
The stone is burned, as if life was taken out
of it like this seems like bleached almost. As this happens,
he goes over to Leona, offers her a hand in
trying to help her up. Uh, and then he is
going to too. He is going to go ahead and
end is turn with that Pepper. It is your turn, Pepper.
Can you see that that tar shadow Just so you
know that tar shadow that escaped from him, it is
currently looks like it's bee lining toward you. I just
want you to be aware of that.
Speaker 1: Hell No, okay, then I know what I'm doing with
my turn. I'm casting banishment again. All right, I have one.
Speaker 2: More attempt at this casting it on Leona Earl.
Speaker 1: I need you to get gone. Yep, you do know?
Speaker 2: Is it only one target banishment?
Speaker 6: It's as well many. It depends on the level.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean well no, four right?
Speaker 2: Casting it fourth level? Could you check the text for
me confirm its one target because you can also.
Speaker 1: Just try to Is it is a fourth level abjuration spell?
So I'm not upcasting it? So I can't.
Speaker 2: So it's so it's just additional. Leon is going to
make the same as he puts his hand out toward
her with this upsettingly fatherly look on his face. Desmond,
you would note that you absolutely you're like, I'm what
I'm not about to tell you. Isn't you realize he's
actually a good guy. But he does seem to be
acting with the most genuine, sickly like fatherly concern that
he possibly could. There is a genuine love and gentle
nature to this man that belies the heinous, terrible things
that he's done. He does it because they succeeded that time.
Do you cast it toward them? As you cast it
toward them without again without even really looking at you.
Ethicus moves their hand back and they pull their mantle
out and in front of Layuna as if it was
to stop the magic from striking them. As they do,
a gust of wind blows both of them stop for
a second as the magic dissipates around Ethics and the Layuna,
and you just or a brief are you all right?
And then nothing back from her? So that was that?
Now you remember when you you you cast that spell?
Is there anything else you'd like to do?
Speaker 1: Yes? I still I'm gonna run away from the shadow.
I'm gonna oh in for over here? Is this is
this something I can close?
Speaker 2: It's just like a big chunk of ruin of like
some of the destroyed town. It's it's like a few
feet elevated and you could get on top of it,
but it's only like two or three feet above the ground.
Speaker 1: Okay, uh, I'm going to get actually behind it.
Speaker 2: Okay, it wouldn't give you cover just well actually you're tiny.
I'd say give you like half cover.
Speaker 1: You were very kind.
Speaker 2: Is that tar like shadow moves forward? Is there anything
else you're doing? You see you did that movement.
Speaker 1: Bonus action, deflict.
Speaker 2: Yep, okay, difflict, Laurie.
Speaker 1: Watch out, there's a shadow. There's a shadowy tari thing
behind behind you.
Speaker 2: What heckan? As this thing moves, you do see this
kiddie pool sized pool of tar and sludge roils up
beside you, Lawrence, And as it stops again, you hear
just softly from Ethicus. Among the abilities I've gained from
Agony's throat is the power to give shape to negative
energy itself. And he moves one hand over and like
flicks it toward where you are. You see rising up
from this shadow that's in front of you, this tar
like sludge like substance, it seems to a creature simultaneously
rises from it and takes shape within it. This creature
made of that same roiling black tar that seems to
be coated in several white like this almost alien like
white substance on parts of it. You see this oh
oh no, rise up beside you from it, rise up.
Speaker 1: I think I'm about to die.
Speaker 5: Oh fuck.
Speaker 2: As it does this hollow, vacuous sound like a it's
very big, just so you know, Yeah, this rhino sized
creature rises up and as it can't get over toward
Pepper this dark this dark energy elemental weep. Everybody is
going to instead attack you?
Speaker 1: Makes sense? No better?
Speaker 2: Good run.
Speaker 5: I'm glad I could come back to die.
Speaker 2: That's the first egg is a fifteen that hits you.
Speaker 4: I hate that it does. I hate that my AC's
fourteen and that.
Speaker 2: That fis me as it hits you. I need you
to make a constitution saving throw.
Speaker 1: Why Logan, why?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: It does not to mind it to find out.
Speaker 5: As a roll to fourteen fifteen and its.
Speaker 2: Failure my token, that is a failure. So the damage
you're about to take, I'm going to just roll it
into the chat. Your maximum hit points are going to
be reduced by As it strikes you, your maximum hit
points are reduced by seventeen. Oh my god. I can't
help but notice that leaves you with one hit point.
Speaker 1: Yep, it sure does, Logan, Is.
Speaker 6: It the damage happening concurrently? Like? Is it the damage
they lose is also lost as max HP? Or is
this not?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: I'm just going to count it as we bring the
maximum hit points down for this particular instance, so that
it doesn't double. Yeah, heckan, So your maximum hit points
come down by it as it does, so you take
that damage. You find it as it strikes you. As
you come into contact with this tar like substance, you
feel life get pulled out of you into it, as
though the sludge on this thing's body is made of
necromantic energy. It is made of the same arcane power
that Circle of Death was made of that inflicts wounds
is made of. This creature is a hole in space
that consumes the energy of anything it touches. And that
is you.
Speaker 5: Jelp, you said it too.
Speaker 2: What's some buddy boy? What's your movement speed?
Speaker 1: Come after me?
Speaker 2: Come on, don't it looks over in your direction, Pepper,
And it disappears on it as if tunneling, moves back underground,
as though moving through the the earth, returning to like
that sludge like form, and disappears. You see a roiling
puddle of that sludge appear beside you, and it emerges
like a sea beast rerupting from the water, and it
is going to attack you as well.
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't think you added more taxes. Turn, I
didn't know. I shouldn't have said hot and pipe it ah,
miss smith miss s, miss that one, that one, that one.
Oh no, that's a cripp good bye, Pepper.
Speaker 2: Pepper, I need you to make a constitution saving throw.
Speaker 1: Okay, come on, peb that is a sixteen plus one seven.
Speaker 2: Good so you'll only take it as damage. You won't.
We won't reduce your maximum head points by this. You succeed.
You take okay, thirty two points of damage, which isn't
applying to you. Something's still going on with the extensions. Clearly, yeah,
I would say you're imagining.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, does save Luna Desmond.
Speaker 2: As it appears up around you, striking you. It doesn't
even hit you initially so much as as its body
forms up around you. Uh, you just find that life
is sucked out of you. You're fatigued, and you fall down.
You are not unconscious. Remember you are only on the
ground as this thing erupts around you. I can didn't
actually move to its turn. There we go, Lilia, scarn you.
Guys are off to another stuff. Well, hopefully you spend
time with you today. But at this point we decided
to fight Athicus. I apologize, Desmond. We're back to you. Hmm.
Speaker 6: It's a gamble. I can take what is your gamble.
Speaker 7: It's not likely to work, and I'm processing whether I
would do that or something else, but I'm like, this
is my last shot.
Speaker 6: Okay, trying it? Fuck it me.
Speaker 16: Ball's go to dash past and under and I'm going
to attempt to shove Ethicas.
Speaker 1: Oh what a mood, bitch.
Speaker 6: It's athletics. It's a plus two baby, Okay, Lana, I
don't ask you for a that's a nine. Wizard boy,
Can you fuck up for me?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 6: There's gonna be some chance of winning this one.
Speaker 2: Do you rush over, you duck to the side, you
prepare to strike them, trying to think of there's anything
I could remind you. I don't think so I'm gonna
as you rush forward and you try to tackle Ethicus
off the side. So I'm okay, I have a question
for you, yep, and it will determine whether or not
I tell you to roll with advantage instead.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Are you trying to shove him off?
Speaker 6: Or Okay? I'm going to head do you off because
I think I get where you're going.
Speaker 2: At any cost, you may roll it again as though
with advantage.
Speaker 6: Athletics around two fifteen better.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna roll Ethicus. I'm gonna roll Wizard Boys'
strength here as you rush to the side, You position yourself,
you kind of get down on the bridge into like
a running position, and you tackle him with your full weight.
You throw your halfling body toward him, and as you do,
he rolls a ten oh as a consequence to this,
as you tackle him, you guys see Desmond rush over
throw himself at Ethicus, who turns briefly toward him. He
is struck. He loses his footing and both of them
go off the side of the bridge.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 2: As Desmond and Ethicus both plummet, he lets go of
the scythe As it happens, he reaches past you toward
Layuna as he falls who Layuna, in her current state,
turns regards him. Doesn't hold her hand out or anything,
but she does follow his gaze as both of you
plummet down about forty feet off the cliff into the
tumultuous hecking tourbillion of water that lays below you. We're
gonna have to come back to what happens with you
guys here in a second. Okay, I have another question.
As you both fall down, are you trying to keep
a hold of him or are you separating yourself from him?
Speaker 6: He's a wizard, he might fly. I'm not letting his
ask go.
Speaker 2: Okay, what it's a sinulacrum.
Speaker 1: It's not even really him.
Speaker 6: It's okay. I'm already down here. There's no going back.
Speaker 1: Way to get you.
Speaker 2: You both hit the water midair fall, you fall into it.
You have both underwater. Neither of you will be able
to produce verbal components. I'm not looking at what he
can do right now, but just making the statement that well,
under water, neither of you will be able to do
verbal components. As you hit it, you grab onto him,
you are grappling him, and the moment you are underwater,
you find yourself pulled by the almost irresistible tug of
the whirlpool that constitutes this entire body of water. Interesting move, Desmond,
Are you doing anything else?
Speaker 6: I've got another attack.
Speaker 2: I'll shoot him, I'd say, given the range and the
water and the weapon type, I'd say, do this with disadvantage.
Speaker 6: Oh it's first.
Speaker 1: Disadvantage.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he said, no, out of it, like that makes sense?
All right, revolver disadvantage.
Speaker 7: That is a unnatural twenty unnatural.
Speaker 2: I rolled a it's a toy effects plus eight? What
is giving the plus eight?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Plus seventeen. That's wrong. That should be a less.
Speaker 2: You get a plus two from your firearm. Yeah, it's
doubling up for some reason. Oh, I think I might
know why. I know why it is. It's because your
favorite enemy m and a bunch of stuff. So you
got eight less than that, which means you got uh,
should you have eight less than that? Or should you
have four less than that?
Speaker 6: Plus nine? So it should be.
Speaker 2: Twelve and then counting in that is your favorite enemy, my.
Speaker 6: Favorite plus two?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 6: What should give me more? You're totally right, I.
Speaker 2: Should give you a two. I think that that's doubling
your bonus. I think you should have a plus four total.
Maybe because you you're using a firearm, which gives you
the plus two attacks and then you're using okay, so
before less, which would be sixteen, which doesn't hit him.
Speaker 6: What's it?
Speaker 1: All?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: Okay? Leyouna is going to kneel down, just fall to
their knees, looking over the side of the bridge. That
is their turn. They are doing nothing else, Lawrence, It
is your turn.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I got a plan.
Speaker 5: Let's fucking see if this works.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, what are we doing? Okay, just so you
know if you try to do anything that requires seeing Desmond,
I will make you make a check to pinpoint where
he is, specifically because this water isn't still water. This
is like royling heck in foamy whirlpool water.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is giving me major PTSD to
other waterfalls that we've encountered in that nineteen.
Speaker 4: The thing I want to do does say you can
see what my strat is.
Speaker 5: What I want to do. I want to cast the
rowne image. I know it's a level two.
Speaker 4: I want to cast it at level four using my
level four slot to cast it. And that I want
I want to hit Desmond with fly so you.
Speaker 5: Can get back.
Speaker 2: Okay, so go ahead and make me a perception check.
She's not gonna be crazy. Let's I'll tell you ahead
of time. Let's say it's twelve.
Speaker 4: Okay, come on, baby boy, come on please, Catski, don't
stand on a keyboard right now.
Speaker 2: It's very intense, do it, CASKI.
Speaker 4: What let's go?
Speaker 1: Come on?
Speaker 5: All right, and eighteen rolled into a nineteen.
Speaker 2: But let's go. As you do this, the I will
note that the creature, the dark energy yell mental takes
note of you doing this. You cast it so underwater, Desmond,
you just see Laurie just just appear beside you, puts
their hand out, and they're gonna cast fly on you.
As soon as they start doing it. There's nothing that
can stop them. So Carrie, take off the spell slot
for thrown image and fly. Desmond, you now have a
sixty foot fly speed, assuming you still have it. When
your turn starts as Lawrence, you see the dark energy
elemental very much turning its attention entirely to you.
Speaker 15: Yep, I chose this safe, my boy. It says that
there's a potion of healing in my inventory, but I
think there's like the ones not next to it, so
I don't think I have it, so I can't bonus.
Speaker 4: I actually probably not there then yet it's probably not there,
so yeah.
Speaker 2: While you're in there, you might as well delete that
just to save yourself. Yeah, fucking I do want to
extend an apology, Lillian scarn I apologize that today's game
was entirely this you guys, thank you very much for
being here. I appreciate it. You guys are you're good.
Hopefully you're having a fun time watching this go down.
Speaker 1: Man, I hate it.
Speaker 2: I understand realize if I were there, it would have
been much much worse much But for who and for everyone?
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm about to fucking die.
Speaker 6: You can run a little peak, can I?
Speaker 5: You know what?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am gonna run my little pizza because I
want to keep this concentration.
Speaker 2: So that doesn't mean to fly the fun Where do
you go?
Speaker 5: You're so I'm late?
Speaker 1: I just as far away before can I go?
Speaker 5: I think I have forty go?
Speaker 2: Okay, that was forty five feet? Can you do forty five?
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 5: I can only do thirty.
Speaker 2: So you'd be like there, okay, you there is a
building like next to you, there is a checkpoint building
where they would like manage people to coming and going
from it. You can like see the building there on
the edge of the map. Uh, So you're just kind
of like running off toward that building sort of.
Speaker 5: The thing in front of me, is it like a
rock or something?
Speaker 1: Can I like hide?
Speaker 2: There's a series of these like three foot tall markers
that are just meant to signal where the road is
meant to be. Okay, They're mostly there so that people
don't careen off the road and head toward the cliff
with wagons and such.
Speaker 18: So I know that I can't like do you could,
like if you fall prone, you could like skid down
under that and be like hidden behind it if you want,
If you think that'll stop the sledge monster from sledging
up beside you.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I'm gonna do everything I can.
Speaker 2: Okay? Is that you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Man?
Speaker 2: Okay? So Ethicus, I need to check if some of
his stuff has verbal components. That's gonna very much determine
what he does here. I intentionally didn't check while giving
you advice. One sec that's verbal. Oh that's verbal. That'll
help you, That saves you. Oh no, okay, I need
to read a spell very quickly. I apologize.
Speaker 5: Oh you're good here to murder.
Speaker 2: Us, So Desmond, there's going to be what this does literally,
and there's going to be what this does on your
turn because you're underwater, Ethicus, unable to speak underwater obviously.
While you're pinned to them, they reach their hand out
and they put it on your head, and you feel
this sudden invasion of your mind. You start to hear
the cries of soldiers falling in war, You start to
hear the sound of explosives. You feel memories welling up
inside your head as from the point of contact of
his fingers upon your skull, you feel him manipulating your mind.
I need you to roll me a intelligence saving throw.
I'm about to throw it on you. There it is.
You have a negative one. Oh no, all right.
Speaker 8: Shit.
Speaker 6: Twelve failure you just feeble mind me no? Oh okay.
Speaker 2: The spell was renamed for Lyra's Guide because we couldn't
use the original name. But the spell is called Nightmare
cell He Oh, it's his hand on your head, everything
including him. You can still feel yourself holding him. Depending
on what happens, everything goes dark. You find yourself lost
in a pitch blackness. You still can't breathe, but the
area surrounding you immediately excuse me, immediately becomes what looks
like this vacuous cave, this massive, expansive cave. As you
are thrown into this nightmarish version of your own memories,
as you are and as you feel yourself floating as
if watching your own memories inside of it, you once
again hear the only nightmare that's mattered to you much recently,
the same memories that come to you every time you
pass through that one cave. The within Gilligan's pit. You
are thrown back to that time when you were trying
to stop your fellows. So when you were I'm gonna
grant that when you recall these memories, Yeah, you recall
that event where you guys sealed off that way of
access for your opposing forces. You recall it. But when
it occurs to you in your mind for the first time,
you remember this as when I was trying to stop him.
As if something to do with the spell jiggles, your
memories freeze slightly. You see the bodies as if also
floating in water around you in the cave, you see
the bodies of your fellow soldiers shot floating as though
decaying bodies. As the effects of the spell take hold,
I'm gonna drop a nightmare cell on you as you
are trapped inside of this. You're going to take some
psychic damage.
Speaker 6: All right? Can you beat thirty three?
Speaker 2: Maybe you take twenty six seven?
Speaker 6: HV left.
Speaker 5: So fucking mad, y'all.
Speaker 2: So, as a GM, I want to have a quick
discussion about what the other part of this is going
to be, because you're gonna have to deal with it
no matter what is not good right because of how
the spell works willing or not. If you are moved
out of the illusion, which is specifically bound to your space,
you take another bout of damage. There's no save. You
simply take the damage. There's no way Desmond would know that,
but I want to tell you that so it doesn't
seem unfair when it happens. I don't know that there's
anything you can do about it. So if you want
to start thinking of creative solutions to that, then let
me know when we get to your turn. Because when
we get to your turn, I'm going to have you
make an athletics check with advantage because of the spell
to fight the currents of the waters. So, knowing that's
coming and that you might be moved by the water,
I want you to I want to give you time
to pregame how you're going to deal with that. That
said Ethicus does that they remain in place, They are
not moving, They are concentrating on that spell. Pepper Mega Death's.
Speaker 1: Said time to roll my death saves. I hope I
roll in at twenty because that would be cool and
then I could be hot. Come on, Pepper.
Speaker 2: Sixteen succeed, so that's good. You can use a bonus
action you can crawl a little bit. Those are your options.
Speaker 6: What do you do?
Speaker 1: Oh boy? Hmmmm mm hmmm hmm. What can I do?
I I can cast a bonus action, the do a bone.
Speaker 2: You can't concentrate on spells.
Speaker 1: I can't yeah, m hmm, I mean I can't concentrate
on it, but I can cast deflect on Laurie.
Speaker 2: Nope, deflect is a self spell.
Speaker 1: Yep, right, you're so right, bestie. Also do nothing, ye crawl?
Crawling sounds good.
Speaker 5: Can we still have my own deflect on?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Also Lori's problem.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 2: So thank you for You can crawl ten feet? Actually
I think it's five feet. Oh because you're on the ground.
Oh yeah, so you can you only move ten feet
but it's actually boom. Okay, you crawl a little bit,
oliver towards Laurie as you do. If that is your turn,
the dark energy ele mental is gonna go. Time for
me to measure the space between you guys. Is it
more than fifty feet? It begins, it dives into the ground,
as though tunneling through the muck that it creates, but
it leaves no hole, no active tunnel. As it shifts
and it moves toward you, Laurie. It then bursts out
again again like a sea creature, erupting from the ground,
lets out this hollow whale like moan as it does
so that fills the cavern. I'm about to target you, Laurie,
and if you're within ten feet, you're within its ability
to hit, not.
Speaker 5: Able to hide by my little pillar.
Speaker 2: You it'll have it'll you'll have cover because of that
you are within ten feet, is going to make two
attacks against you.
Speaker 4: I'm done, y'all.
Speaker 5: I'm done.
Speaker 1: I have one hit point.
Speaker 2: I'm done cover. It makes its first attack if you
have any reactions or anything you want to use against him.
If you have like cutting words, Oh, I don't remember
if you have cutting words at your level. I think
you do, but I who seeing it?
Speaker 5: Is that a cantrip?
Speaker 2: It's a bard feature.
Speaker 1: I don't have it.
Speaker 2: No sitting you cutting words?
Speaker 7: Ye?
Speaker 2: Cutting does do? Not all birds get cutting words.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Maybe it's a higher level cutting words is a lore bar?
Speaker 2: Oh that's a low bird specific thing. The me that
does design and the me the GM different.
Speaker 1: I'm not a lore bar, all right.
Speaker 2: So it's going to go for its attack. You'll have
a boosted a C because you have cover it attacks.
I mean it got a twenty four.
Speaker 5: Well that's it for me and Desmond.
Speaker 4: I I mean, I have one silvery barbs left.
Speaker 2: I have one case. Shame to use it now, yep,
silvery barbs. You use silver barbs. It is going to
roll again. It's going to make the attack again. I'm
going to hit cover strikes you twenty two.
Speaker 6: Always going down all right, I.
Speaker 1: Have he's not close enough.
Speaker 4: It was because I was like, I haven't have advantage,
so I was like, I'm gonna give it to Desmond.
But you know, I don't think anybody's close enough, so
I think I'm giving it.
Speaker 2: To me advantage.
Speaker 6: Yeah, how on what for silvery barbs?
Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah, give it to you. W okay. Well,
I mean I want to say something encouraging, like your
deflect will bring down the non necrotic damage one now,
but you have one hit point, so ultimately it.
Speaker 5: Just time, it doesn't matter. I like it.
Speaker 2: That also means you lose concentration on fly.
Speaker 4: I know, I know.
Speaker 6: See an agony's throat.
Speaker 4: I mean I don't know, like you're you're going down
there and me and Pepper are doing death saves man.
Speaker 6: Yep, I know they got no reason to do anything too.
Once they get what they want, they just might.
Speaker 2: And then we're gonna flip back over to the top
of the turn order. As this thing can't move, but
it turns its attention toward moving toward Layuna. We're gonna
go through the turns. All right, Desmond, the water you
are no longer a fly on you, which means you
won't have that advantage I mentioned because you have nothing
supporting you within the confines of knowing that you are
currently trapped in a hostile illusion. You don't know that
if you move it'll fuck you up. But let's say
we can rationalize this as if you feel like if
you could pull away from ethicists, you might lose track
of the situation. What would you like to do before
I make you make that check?
Speaker 6: Okay, this is war, Desmond. I'm not magically inclined.
Speaker 16: But that thing was a shadow attached to him, so
maybe it still is. So he's going to make that check,
but he's going to do his best to.
Speaker 6: I'm sure I have it. I'm an adventurer.
Speaker 7: Can I tie myself to I think is is simulacity
Jesus Christ here.
Speaker 2: That's funny. It's a bit of a complex action, especially
you would.
Speaker 6: Be able to like actually obviously do any knots.
Speaker 16: But I've got fifty feet of rope as long as
I can keep us entangled.
Speaker 1: Roll me a.
Speaker 2: It's gonna sound weird, so bear with me. Roll me
a strength based sleight of hand.
Speaker 19: Check, strength based sleight of hand. All right, that's gonna
be rough slet of hand.
Speaker 6: I have no proficiency, so I will just roll a
strength check. Okay, that's gonna be the same thing. It's
a negative one, maybe.
Speaker 2: Negative one, and I'm gonna treat it as if as
if he's making an opposing grapple check. Oh okay, and nine.
Let's see if he beats a nine as he keeps
his hand on your head as if to sustain this
illusion that's happening. Because the main now I made a
slight of hand check, just to elaborate, is if you move,
which you kind of will, that's sort of where we are,
you will lose consciousness. So my thing is like you
are arranging this in such a way that if your
body goes numb and you like lose consciousness, you're trying
to like, stay in a position where you're attached to him,
so you're trying to fanangle it. So strength check from Ethicus.
Don't know why he had.
Speaker 19: Advantage disadvantage silvery barbs.
Speaker 7: Oh no, he was benefiting from silvery barbs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you put silver the bombs on it, okay, dropped
the second sixteen, He got a seventeen. As you do this, Desmond,
as you try to wrap it around him, he brings
his armored arms up and you see necrotic energy flash
across it. He moves his fingers across the rope and
it severs the rope. As you are attempting to do so,
you are then pulled.
Speaker 6: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: You are then pulled by the water with him and
in a different direction from him. How many hip points
do you have?
Speaker 6: Seven?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do. The damage that comes
from this is ten.
Speaker 6: Take a minimum roll. Even if they all did one,
I would still fall unconscious.
Speaker 2: As this happens, as you are shifted in the illusion
that you are in. As you are pulled away and
the effect ends, you see yourself holding your hand out
in the distance to your former soldier who is holding
one hand over a plunger. The lever on a plunger
and holding a gun in your direction as opposed to forward,
and you hear just the phrase it's the only way
we get to go home, and that echoes out as
you take this damage, the spell ends and you lose
not only concentration, not only do you fall in conscious Desmond,
but due to massive damage.
Speaker 6: Did they were all higher than it did.
Speaker 2: Sixty nine points of damage, which is enough, but dead dead,
which is instantly killed a few points high enough to
cause you to instantly die from massive damage because it
is over your hit points again past zero. As Desmond's
body gets pulled and washed away, as your eyes go
blank and your body goes careening toward the under elements
of the foundry as you get pulled into I don't
want to evoke images of a fan, but the turbines
redirecting the flow of water. I yeah, I want you
to roll me a D one hundred to see if
that rope since you have just died, I want you
to roll me a D one hundred as a sort
of death throws roll you're looking to get under a
and as you do, as your muscles tightened, you grip
the rope that is around Ethicus and he is unwittingly
pulled along with you underneath.
Speaker 6: That's what I wanted.
Speaker 2: Both of you leave sight. All that remains.
Speaker 6: Up top.
Speaker 2: You guys see Desmond and them go into the water.
There is no fanfare. There is hm, well they went
in before I'm describing what you seen. You see them
going having gone into the water. There is no fanfare,
there's no eruption of energy, no arcane flourish. You guys
see them get pulled into the water. Your spell ends.
The creature that is with you slowly plods toward Layuna,
who is looking down toward the water as well. And
enough time passes, Like we know that a turn is
six seconds, but for the purposes of narrative, enough time
passes that you don't see either of them come up
for air. You start to get a feeling in the
pit of your stomach that something has gone wrong, something
has happened. We're gonna go through turn order, specifically because
we have death saves to make Lawrence, you have advantage.
You do hit advantage, roll me your death safe.
Speaker 9: I don't want it anymore, my dad, y'all, Okay.
Speaker 4: That's a failure with the vantage I failed yep.
Speaker 2: Is there anything you'd like to do with your bonus?
Speaker 5: I've lost the will to live.
Speaker 8: I don't think I can.
Speaker 1: Can I deflect?
Speaker 2: Do you have a healing word? If you have spill slots?
I don't.
Speaker 5: I have none left?
Speaker 1: Ooh, I have nothing?
Speaker 2: You can deflect? Yeah, yep, that said damage. When you're
down like this, damage doesn't really mean anything. Taking damage
is the same as taking board damage.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pointless.
Speaker 8: There's no point of me doing it.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to count Ethicus is. I'm going
to have him make a roll. Tell you what, Desmond,
what we're going to do? Roll me a D twenty
plus ten, and we're going to treat that as a
as a DC that Ethicus has to fight against to
get away from you.
Speaker 6: You're twenty plus ten going out eighteen ten.
Speaker 2: All right, there's ways that he could magically do this,
but for the fun of what we're doing, he rolls.
I'm going to keep the result to myself since no
one is there to see it. Pepper, please make me
a death saving throw, right, that's a that's a failure, Aaron.
Speaker 1: You don't get to say shit to us.
Speaker 6: I'm supposed to die right now.
Speaker 1: An't you We're all dying. This is it. We go together.
Speaker 2: As the Elemental your real family begins, moves its fifty
feet toward Layuna. It does not seem to be in
any huge rush. You hear the sickening thumps of its
tar like feet striking the ground as it heads toward her.
She seems to pay it no mind at all, Gonna
flip back around, Desmond. Nothing you don't do that saves
my instincts. We're gonna be to say death saves. It's
not Lawrence, rolled me a death save.
Speaker 8: Okay, fails.
Speaker 1: I lost the will to live, Brandon.
Speaker 5: That's my real dad.
Speaker 1: My real dad died. I can feel it. Yep, it's me.
Speaker 2: Roll me a d twenty plus ten Aaron twenty plus ten.
Speaker 6: Eleven. I'm a halfling does that?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call you lucky right now, Pepper, roll me
a death saving throw.
Speaker 6: Those two fails.
Speaker 4: Holy shit.
Speaker 2: The Yelemental walks toward Leyuna. It's massive tar like tendrils
reach out toward her, wrap around her body and lift
her up, move her toward where it is, and it
begins descending into that same like sludge, tar like puddle
that it is in seemingly taking her into it with it.
Desmond or not? Desmond? You know what, every all three
of you roll me death or not death saves? Roll
me D one hundreds?
Speaker 8: Okay seven?
Speaker 2: I was looking for under fifties, Hey, Scarn, I was
not under.
Speaker 6: Just does everybody's death have to do with me?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 6: God?
Speaker 2: You ready for the thing you're doing to be involved today?
Speaker 6: Sure? What's up?
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give a lot of details because
I don't necessarily want to lead on it on a lot.
But let's say that Scarn had a favor bank from
something that he did somewhere. Oh my god, how keen
are you to use a big old favor that you
didn't know you had? A crude right now? Hey, yo,
whatever God I gave the sloppy two, it's time.
Speaker 5: Was it a sloppy toppy or it was.
Speaker 2: The sloppy whatever that God wanted?
Speaker 6: Because I want this favor.
Speaker 2: All right, then we're gonna go through one more round.
I just wanted to know that I wanted that to
be on the table. Uh it was on a table.
Speaker 6: Okay, get out of here.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go through another round of stuff, Lawrence, death
save please, here we go.
Speaker 6: And twenty. Baby, see.
Speaker 2: Success as a success, all right?
Speaker 6: Non double that?
Speaker 4: Please next time, I can't live without you.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to get Pepa. Please, that's what happening.
Speaker 6: Success.
Speaker 2: You guys are giving me anxiety. Oh welcome the elemental
reduced down to a functionally just a puddle at this
point with lay you in a seemingly gone it's going
to go forty five feet that way, it's going to
dash and it seemed the puddle, as if burrowing straight down,
seems to disappear into the ground. The creature vanishes. The
only thing I can do at this point is just
going in order. I'm not going to bother moving the
turn order forward. Lawrence Death say please, oh.
Speaker 5: It's another success.
Speaker 2: That is another success.
Speaker 6: Pepper, that's safe.
Speaker 1: Please, Oh my godness, this is my last baby girl.
You have to live. Love you, oh very much. I
love you so much. Don't apologize you got this?
Speaker 2: Oh shit, Pepper. Okay, Pepper, I'm gonna be so nice
to you right now. You have your full turn.
Speaker 6: What do you do?
Speaker 1: I run over to Lorie. I I don't have enough
move you.
Speaker 2: Move with me, Die, you can get over to here. Normally,
do you have anything else, anything else at all that
you want to do.
Speaker 1: Can can I poof Tabasco into your existence and have
every warm medizin?
Speaker 2: Check on, Marie, if you want Tabasco to roll a
medicine check. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Why don't you do?
Speaker 2: They're too far away, right fair? Okay? That sounds like
an idea to me as you rush over toward them.
Speaker 6: Bloody?
Speaker 1: What what?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 1: What? What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: What? What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: I have? I have Jackal's looks, so I can I
could produce one of the paradots, one of the three
paradots you said I could find, And basically, if I
think I can grant Laurie a chance where they can
make an additional role and take the better one.
Speaker 2: That's true. Uh, yes, it's within sixty. If you rush
over toward them, you grant them a moment of luck,
So you basically have a point of lucky, Lawrence in
this moment.
Speaker 1: I should have given this too before. I didn't know.
I didn't know, all right.
Speaker 2: I'd like you to, Lawrence. I would like you to
make that final death save.
Speaker 6: You have.
Speaker 2: Do you choose to use the luck? You have to
use it before rolling it?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 2: Come on, don't fucking ponder that question.
Speaker 1: When are you else? Are you going to use it?
You fucker?
Speaker 2: You fucking fun So what what level?
Speaker 1: If I want to die.
Speaker 6: Asmond? It does not allow.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'll use it. I'll use it for Brandon.
Speaker 2: So roll me the death save with advance.
Speaker 8: Okay, even with advantage.
Speaker 1: That's an eight.
Speaker 2: All right, justice, you've you've just God favors do I no, no, no, no,
what I talked to you about before? It is what
is now going to carush in. As this happens, as
you rush over to them, Pepper and try to cast it,
your vision is blurry. You find it hard to concentrate.
You use the spell, Lawrence seems to find themselves slipping out,
with Desmond gone, with the sound of the water filling
the area, Lawrence starts to fade away. As this happens,
you hear the foundry seems to let out this massive shudder,
as if the entire thing, as if a section of
it were to activate, were to spring to life, drawing
your attention to it, and you see along the sides
of it, you see very finely woven, intricate ruine markings
and ancient writings on this entire metallic tower beginning.
Speaker 6: To light up.
Speaker 2: Could you roll me a religion check?
Speaker 1: Sure, I definitely didn't read those books, but I'll rule it.
Who gives a crap about the Holy.
Speaker 2: I don't have my can, I'll fucking it's my cans
out of reach thirteen. As these symbols form, you are
a bit confused as the tower as the foundry begins
to glow with radiant energy, you recognize only a few
of the symbols, and what you recognize are the writings
of the Ignis Forge, the followers of Destimus. It doesn't
take you very long to conclude that, with Destinas being
one of the three gods that helped you secure this place,
the massive machine that redirects the water here is likely
something that was built by his followers. And as the
entire tower glows and lets out this booming, thunderous wave
of energy that causes a splash the water to kick up,
the whirlpool stops. As bits of water float in the air,
very briefly, you hear a commanding voice you've not before,
but Scarn will have you just hear this distinct radiant
as you see Laurie's body lift in the air, slightly
so gravity was suspended. You hear my favor is paid.
Consider this to be the final act of Destimus the
Great Engine.
Speaker 1: You are on your own.
Speaker 2: As Lawrence's body falls to the ground, having succeeded, but unconscious.
As the favor you guys did in retrieving the dgr
unit for Destinus has now been repaid in full, the
light vanishes, Ohn, Laurie is stable but unconscious. Pepper Leyuna
appears to be gone, Ethicist does not return, Desmond appears
to be gone. And as you find yourself recovering, I
think to give everyone time to think about how they
want to move, You're going to Laurie to protect him
with your tail.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold him and just wrap us both up
in my tail and just it looks like a big
fluffy co coo as she just sobs and sobs and.
