  Thornwinds   Recap
The adventurers met with **Mordenkainen's Simulacrum**, who explained that **Vecna** was attempting to restore his power using a collection of special orbs. The party discussed their options: find the **Sword of Kas**, seek the **Cats of Ultharr**, or confront **Vecna's** orb directly. They learned about a dream-protection potion that could be made from ingredients in a **Yuan-ti** temple. The group was then teleported to a Southern Jungle, where they navigated through a treacherous landscape to an ancient temple. Inside, they faced off against a **Snake-Headed Creature** and several powerful **Stone Statues** that breathed lava. The party used their combined magical and martial abilities to overcome the guardians and, with a final decisive blow from **Sas**, defeated the last statue, causing the surrounding lava to cool and turn into valuable **Obsidian**.  
 
 
   

Summary

Deep in the heart of a dense jungle, a brave party of adventurers approached an ancient temple carved in the shape of a serpent. Their quest was vital - to find special herbs that grow in lava near the Swantee Temple that would protect them from Vecna's nightmarish influence and prevent being pulled into his subdimension. Before this journey, they had received a visit from a similacrum of a Wizard who explained arrangements between wizards like Mechlin and Grognard regarding realm protection through Draconic prophecies.   As they ventured inside the temple, the defenses sprung to life, sealing them within Obsidian walls and confronting them with animated statues that attacked using lava. After defeating these guardians, Bastion and Barlo worked together to study the intricate mechanisms controlling the sealed doorway.   Their exploration led them to a mysterious white circular room containing a pedestal with a six-sided die marked with Yaanti variant of Draconic script. When Calliope touched the die with her magical glove, she learned they were no longer in the Material Plane. Rolling the die opened a doorway leading to a dark stairwell.   Descending carefully, Shadow discovered and triggered a poison trap while picking a lock, though Sas quickly cured the affliction. The party then encountered Yuan-ti guards in narrow corridors featuring hazardous lava flows. Through coordinated efforts and tactical positioning, they defeated several guards and a massive animated statue.   After the battle, they methodically searched their fallen enemies, collecting weapons, venom worth 50 Gold per vial, and blood useful for dark magic. The session ended as they began investigating four mysterious doorways in their newly cleared chamber.

    Notes

    Transcripts  
    30 or 40 minutes of the game is going to be asking questions like, okay, where are we? What do we do? Yeah, what are we doing? The good news is this is actually you guys are actually at a straight forward part right now. Okay. Because. Lots of stuff has happened. And from there, it's a pretty much the mindset you guys are at is you guys were, stopped off for trade wins.
    Some other stuff happened, you guys. The plan was to go see Beth because she has something that she wants you guys to do. But she did tell you guys to gain some power for you. You guys get there anyways, so it hasn't been like a huge rush. While you guys were in trade winds, there was a couple incidents, such as, there was a, a meeting that was taking place underneath a, a church that you guys kind of came in the middle of, you guys found out about, your old friend the Mind Flayer seems to have something going on.
    All this stuff was going on, and then, You guys started having dreams. Your dreams started. It turns out that Vecna has been pulling you guys in because into a sub dimension that he has. Yeah. Like, he has a dimension out there where he's been pulling you guys in because Bastian and Calliope had tapped into, some magic wards that he had set up.
    It seems that somehow connected you guys to him, as you guys are trying to find out more information about the spell weavers, these six armed creatures. And as you guys were trying to kind of deal with this, SAS ended up doing some research and finding out that if you guys can find these herbs that grow, inside a larva, usually by the one TI, because they use it for some of the drugs they make.
    But if you can find this plant, you guys would be able to make a potion that would be able to kind of hold off the dreams for a little while until you guys can be better prepared for it. And while you guys were dealing with that, you guys had a visitor. Turns out it was a similar room of more than Kanan, a wizard from another room.
    Realm. He had told you that him and, Macklin or drug lord. And he kept also using another term, which was paradox. But he talked about how there was an arrangement between these two wizards to if anything happened in their realm and they couldn't handle it. It seems that the other one would have similar rooms that might come in and help help the other person out.
    And right now, it seems that Macklin is Mia, which think it of which you guys also have one of your professor orbs missing, which is the Captain Macklin of the, old to real world. I think there might have been a few other missing. I can't remember if you guys found out or not. Yeah, that's the one you guys knew about at this point.
    Okay. We will say that, at least for now. But what he told you was that you guys have heard about these draconic prophecies. One of the things that it turns out the draconic prophecies is actually these two wizards use some of these different prophecies to tell each other messages. If something goes wrong. He had asked you guys a couple questions.
    That kind of helped him focus in on what the problem was. And, he then told, like, come on, if you actually told you so, I will leave that for now. But what he did say was, there was some suggest he gave you guys some suggestions. Not all of them great suggestions, but he did the list.
    Put everything on the table. You guys ended up deciding that you guys would go to this one tea temple to find some of these herbs and any other information you guys could find here. Oh. Yeah. The other idea that he suggested that you guys had put on the back burner because that it might be able to help you find some way of defeating Vecna.
    And that was the cats of authority. I think I just said that wrong. I mean, I can't the cats of the Dreamland stuff. So that would be long term. But right now, the immediate would be to find these herbs. So that way you guys stop being haunted, being pulled into these nightmares and possibly having to fight Vecna unprepared.
    So he he gave you guys a bismuth crystal, which would. Then when you guys are ready, you can, call him. And he would. It would instantly transports you guys back to him. It's a one way thing, but at least it would give you guys a quick entry because he teleported you guys out to this, temple.
    You guys were found. You guys found yourselves out in the jungle. In the middle of this, hidden inside this jungle was a very old temple. In the shape of a serpent's face. Head coming out of the ground. You guys had gone into the mouth where you guys had a fun time.
    And by fun time.
    I mean, we.
    Might have seen that laugh up there. This one. Okay. So, as you guys did go in there, you guys in the finding yourselves trapped in this little room here. The door behind you had closed at some point, I believe. But you guys start investigating. The door closed, though, and because you guys started messing with the large statue in the center.
    And so then you guys found yourselves in a very serious combat. Actually, looking at you guys health, it's not that bad. Except for Barlow and Bastian. Oh, no, actually. But, Art is not doing well. But you guys found the, the center statue came to life. And then there was four other statues on the sides that were kind of drawing up some of the lava out of the ground and shooting it at you guys.
    And that was where we left you in this room here. The the doorway back out seems to still be closed. The door in front of you still is closed. Where it has a very large. It's covered with, and obsidian kind of,
    Let's say a wall of obsidian inside of the, little frame there. You can't you don't see any door markings or anything. So, whatever it is, is not opening as of right now, if that's what seems to be the entrance into the temple. Because we have had a very long time since we last played.
    What I'm going to do is I would like everybody to roll. Let's say, a d20. Whoa. What happened there?
    Whoo! Who? 18. Oh, yeah. Start with the low numbers. Now. Give me a second here. Roll 20. The side of the link out on me. It me. I'm using my new dice. Which new dice? Your sister raised me. Oh, yeah. Veronica's got a d20. Okay. To me. And, give me another roll real quick.
    For. All right. So here's what's going to happen, Veronica. You have because you got a 20 though I'm going to give you 40. Chug. You have 18 bass and you have two. Nice. Hold on. You don't even know what I'm talking about. Chatter you have ten and you have 18. Those are as as you guys are standing here.
    And the battle kind of kind of calms down a bit. And you guys are kind of taking in your surroundings. All of you guys start noticing your, the little mark of the adventurer. Starts to glow a very slight, little bluish purple light. Those points is how many hit points you can have to either give to yourself or to any one of your fellows right now.
    Oh, yeah. The. Malo, you're hurting.
    Not so much now. Not all. All 18 points of his goes away right now. I'm going to give my two already. Or hurting.
    I have full health, so. But who? I do, I have full health. I got close, I know I wasn't doing too bad. You don't have full. But you're. I'm at 69. No. It's nice. Okay, man. I'm going to give myself the two health. Oh. How are you doing? I'm missing probably, I don't know, 20, 30% of my health full.
    Yeah, I'm about half health. Do you want my 18?
    I do, I want to, you know, take it.
    Sassy, you full health. Not quite, but I'm pretty close.
    I got 30 to get. Who needs some? Who want some? I'll take ten or I'll take 20. That all caught me off. All right, bro, you want the last time or does underneath the last ten? No, because he can always, Artie can hang back if he needs to. Oh, he has second wind.
    I think. Yeah. Already has a second wind, so he's fine. So give or take that. Take that last time. Thank you. From.
    One. He gets one health back. Maybe he should have taken that. It's like I can. I can heal him now. He's. He's okay. He's a half. If he gets bad, I'll holler. But.
    He'll be okay for now.
    Yeah, we got it. I think we got a few of us with spewing. Yeah.
    So this is the same day, right? Yeah. I don't remember the timing. I think it was still pretty early, if I remember right. Okay. So the only thing that I think that I used was that wall fire, which means that I can't do it again. Right? And, battle rest still has. He had popped his, one of the diamonds from his, fruits.
    So you have, what's it called? I think it's like an hour, isn't it? I don't remember, but I'm going to throw another diamond in there. Okay. As long as you have a spare. Got them to spare.
    Here it is. Oh, wow. I didn't realize that that thing had three empty holes. Yeah. Yeah. You have three holes? Yep. Two or large? One or small.
    Thingy. So I just did this one. Try to remember. I think it's an hour.
    Yeah, well, it's concentration to you, though, by the way. So you have to remember that. But it's the best concentration. So I can't use it and haste at the same time. No, that's the whole point of the concentration is. So that way you can't, like, become, like, feeling totally invulnerable or invincible.
    What spell do you have up for an hour? Stone skill. Oh, nice.
    What are we taking out of everyone's rest? Rest? It should. Or we move on. No. We probably could take a short rest. I mean, we should have. We shouldn't have used our those whatchamacallit first. I well, I think we can. Yeah. Those points were going to be they were short lasting. Okay. That's the great thing about that little, Sid, the little symbol is that allows me to give little cheats that go against the the rules.
    The mark. That's what that's part of the adventure. This room. We should move on. Do we want to officially take a short rest? Then some head dive in that. Well, since we don't even know how to get out yet. So if you guys do take a short rest, though. Bastian's thing, we'll we'll time out at the end of it.
    Okay. I'm not super worried about it, though. I mean, we don't have to if we don't need it. I'm okay. I'm okay. Okay. So. So how do we get out? Yeah. We didn't really get a chance to look at the room or anything. Right now. I don't really know you guys. At this point, I can't say where we go.
    Not really. You guys have just started to look at it, and I. If I remember right, I think it was. Barlow started poking the center statue. That's what triggered it. It didn't recognize you guys as, What it what it was looking for. So then it went into protection mode and attacked. So that's pretty much what we had going on.
    I'm going to come up here and check out the obsidian wall or whatever. Go ahead and give me an investigation. Sounds good. Investigation? Yeah.
    And I'm to somebody else better investigate. Yeah. I'm assisting or. I'm sorry. So either either one of you guys can roll the second one. Roll again. Go for it. I have I have a zero on investigate. Do you have anything? Yeah. No. I can do it. I can do it. Let me take a look. I have plus one.
    Oh, no. So that's it's, I got a three. Barlow and SAS are investigating, and Bastian sees you guys having a hard time. He comes up and starts kind of taking, pokes and everything. The as as Bastian is kind of poking through, like, where the obsidian kind of comes and meets the rest of the wall.
    What you're noticing is that it's kind of tight in there, but it looks like it's supposed to be some type of doorway. More than likely with your big brains, though. You're able to realize that more than likely, that the control mechanism probably has something to do with the statue in the center, which I think you guys obliterated, if I remember right.
    Should I still get. I forgot your guys's exp. No, I think about it. I didn't do that. So it seems that this thing is going to be stuck in place, so you have to figure out some way of kind of getting past it, breaking it down or something. But you don't see any possible way of kind of,
    I guess triggering it from here at least. That's that's from turn and move. When it was attacking also, was it. It was facing towards the door that you guys came in. So it was facing that way. Did it ever rotate on its pedestal or anything like that? It did not seem to like it. I mean, it was able to move.
    I couldn't move off of its pedestal, but it did move around like it was. It was animating, I should say. Yeah. These statues were on them as much as the normal stationary. They were quite animated. According to the rubble. See if there's something at the base that was moving or something that just saw a lever or something that would spin one way.
    Go ahead. Give me an investigation. Do we have. I will give him help on the some of you. So you suggest over to bastion. You guys start digging through the rubble.
    Hey, you found something?
    Did I? Let's do it on that one. Give me another d20. There.
    Something weird in this place, because this one's.
    Ten. On your next d20 roll, you can add a one d6 to it or give that to somebody else on there. Next. Next d20 roll. Okay. All right. You know, the super bonus of the super boots. So as you are kind of poking around in there, You see, well, first of all, as you kind of getting in there, you do kind of also see your, your mark, kind of.
    I forgot where your mark is, but it lights up a little bit. This time I had my venture. Mark. Yeah. It it definitely went a little bit more into the purple light this time. And, as you're kind of, like, digging through the rubble and stuff, you start seeing what looks like, different types of mechanics called pieces and, like, everything from, like, little rods with little and then, like, little wheels.
    It's. I mean, it's pretty complex for you. Even with your background with, like, traps and locks. But what you can tell is that definitely was set up in some way that that statue had control over how that door operated. But right now, in its current state, it doesn't seem like you can really push anything and get it to work.
    Okay. Let bastion know that some of you can help. Maybe. I don't know if the any tinkering or kind of abilities. I'm not really sure. Don't remember, but maybe we can work it out together trying to figure it out. Yeah. Maybe make it work. I go over there and start looking at all the pieces and see if anything fits together properly.
    Or at least the one thing that is like the final piece that's broken. Like the little nub of the lever sticking out. Yeah. Whenever, like the last remaining piece that's still fixed to something, you know, permanent. That's not loose. Yeah. Go ahead and, give me an intelligence check, then. Fashion or Barlow brought it up. It's like Batman.
    The one that's messing with the gears and little helping me. You can do with advantage. So, yeah.
    24 oh, Shoot the three threats decisions in one place.
    You start kind of like finding some of the pieces, you see, like, see like you started, like, kind of jury rigging with, like a little bit of, a rock that looks like it kind of fit into place for something else to kind of help the next, like, piece move into place and stuff like that.
    As you do. So, you see, you hear, like, the crunching sound from the obsidian. It starts to kind of move a little bit, but as of right now, like, you're able to get it to kind of move in just a little bit, but it's still in place and, and there's still no air gaps yet.
    Go ahead and give me another intelligence check, because you're kind of working on it. We're going to do, like, a little success for you and see if maybe you're able to kind of get this thing to work right. Yeah. Let's see if there's something that can. Hold it. It's, So at this point, it's it seems like it's getting a little bit harder to kind of work, but you still feel like you're getting kind of making some success on this.
    So does it look like it's still more of, like, intelligent finesse kind of work, or would this require maybe some brute strength? Is it something needs to, like, pull up or try to make, you can you think we could try that? As he's kind of, like, digging through there. And you start suggesting maybe like, because you're seeing he's struggling on some parallels.
    So. Yeah, here's the I throw, I throw him the crowbar. Well I'm not sure you know because that's a small thing. Like I'm trying to pull something out of this little tiny small thing. Right. Like you're trying to kind of move forward on the way kind of oh dig through it. So Oh. Okay then. Yeah. Yeah.
    It's I, I wouldn't use it. Yeah. Going to give me a strength check with the advantage and you get a plus. What I say d6 if you want these so I can have, I can help with the digging. Well, actually, the D6 goes on your next roll anyways, Barlow, unless you gave it up. Oh, okay. Sorry. I guess I gave it.
    All right, then I will use it on this. Then. This is meant to be kind of like a quick little bonus. Like it's a 25, 25. All right. So at that point, it was actually the what you needed. You be able to get that, like, you can just pull out like some little, metallic rod and then like, as that kind of pulls out, like it bumps into another, like, stone piece and all of a sudden you start hearing the mechanics, you hear, like, other things moving on.
    And at that point, the obsidian door does start to slowly kind of drop a bit and then, you kind of start getting a little angry and you just, like, kind of jam, like a little part of, the rod that was kind of going all the way back towards that doorway. And as it does that the last day, obsidian just drops down and immediately opening up the passageway.
    But no effect on the front door. The front door is still jammed. Yeah, I didn't do anything to the front door. Can we see or hear anything once the door opens? As you kind of, give me a quick perception check on the Lord. If they're quick.
    24. As as the. Because this is still a fairly dark room for the most part of the. Except it's kind of being the room you guys are in. It's kind of being lit up by the, the four little areas of, Lava, lava. And as you kind of stare down the, in through the doorway, what you see is a, stark white room.
    That's the light kind of goes in there a bit, but it's just a it looks like a small round room with a little pedestal in the center.
    You're in.
    Give me one. So I don't, So I'm gonna grab a drink real quick, and then. Are you guys taking. You guys are going to go in here? All of us. We're all doing it. Yeah. I don't think we should split up and. Yeah. Are you gonna leave already out here? No, I don't have. I'm traveling this. I was.
    You were what? You've been in company.
    Rooms. Probably like a song.
    You know, all that love and all that love for the jungle areas. It's probably also the. As you guys enter the next room. I don't have enough for it, but, what's your state of the mind as you guys enter this, 2520? Circular room. And as you guys enter the room you see in the center, there's a, little white pedestal that comes up and, they're, as the last one of you guys enters the room, the doorway behind you closes.
    But it's this time. It's weird because it's not even obsidian. Now. In this room, it's just a white circular room with a little pedestal in the center. And on this, on top of that, you see a little cube.
    A little cube, do we recognize the cube? As you take a look at the cube, it looks like a little, white white dice. It's a little six sided dice. It looks like, it could be made of bone or ivory or. You're not really sure at this point.
    How big is it? It's just a size of a standard D6. Oh. This morning. Okay. And does it does it have numbers on the sides? Is it an actual, effect? It seems to have, symbols of some sort. But you're not sure what they are. Sorry. Barlow asked if it was solid white. Would be a solid weight.
    All the white. Oh, white? Yeah. I'm going to go over on color. Okay. I'm going to go over and look to see if I recognize any of the writing. It has kind of, in the writing it looks draconic.
    What?
    That's what what speak for conic.
    Does it look like I do I speak draconic, who does? Shadow? Shadow. Sinister conic. But does he write it? So are you going to take a look at it through? Yeah. Do you pick it up? No. Okay. Just looking at this on this vessel. Yep. Because I learned in the last room when Barlow poked it, things happened.
    Yeah. It's happened. Couldn't give me give me an investigation or perception or whatever you think might work on this. Well, my perception score is way better. Okay, so I'm going to do that because it's with advantage.
    2424 you started kind of staring at it. You're looking around from different sides. What you start to notice is that it's almost like, somebody tried to I mean, there's a lot of ways you can perceive this, but it looks like they're meant to be kind of draconic symbols, but there's, like, little nuances that makes it feel a little bit off, to the point that they kind of resemble the draconic numbers.
    So as you're kind of looking at it, you see on the top, you see a, very close to the draconic number one, but not exact, but there's like little nuances about it. But taken in context, you can see the one, the three, the five, the four and the two. As you're kind of looking at it.
    So it's not exactly draconic numbers, but close does it looks like it's like a stylized writing to make it look different, or is it look like it was a language that's very, very similar to draconic? Let me see. Here, give me a second here.
    Let's see what you'd be able to see that I'm not.
    Like it's draconic, but written in like in Elvish script. So something. Yeah. Or is it like, I don't know, I can, I don't read Spanish, but I can read the numbers in Spanish. It would be almost like it just looks like, it's not so much stylized. It just looks like maybe, it's it's maybe it's like a precursor to draconic or an offshoot of draconic in a way.
    So it's almost, but it doesn't look like it's meant to be like a flourish. As much as it looks like this is probably, just an offshoot of the draconic language. It's all this ancient, bastion. Would you know of any culture or anything that would have been an offshoot with all of your big brain thinking that would have been any kind of offshoot of, draconic?
    Any rule for that? Yeah. Give me give me, intelligence. Well, actually, I'll let you pick, he's the learned of the group. Maybe he would know. Only eight. Yeah. Okay. I was going to say I didn't pick history, too. So, you're kind of looking at it, and taking in the context clues of where you are.
    You're inside of a, yante. Monastery kind of, dungeon thingy. So what you are aware of is that they do use a version of the draconic alphabet, for their own personal language. So it's probably kind of like a bastardized version of the draconic alphabet that they used.
    And some of the stuff that you picked up when you're reading about, like, in the Monster Handbook and everything else got a relay, all of that information you said it's on like a plinth, like a pedestal. Like a pedestal. Yeah. There's a pedestal in the center of this room. Like, 20ft from the pedestal to is the walls.
    So it's a round pedestal. Round walls. No doorway. Now it goes up about 40ft up into the air. So it's like a cylinder and everything is just white. Not even. And even though it's just perfectly any bark or anything on the actual pedestal or around the base. No, it's a very simple pedestal. In fact, it's just kind of like a round kind of cylinder in the center with the little, cube on the top.
    Which exists in this place, those windows, you don't see any exit or doors. So that's the weird thing that as you guys have kind of entered the kind of doorway closed behind you and it's no longer obsidian. It's whatever this white surface with. No, you don't even like the only, what's the word I'm looking for here?
    Creases, I guess you would see would be the corners and the the where the floor meets the wall and where the roof meets the wall. Otherwise, it's perfectly. Barlow, are you good with looking for secret doors? Would you be able to tell if, like, the plinth moves based on how it's connected to the floor? The pedestal, sir, I think it a shot.
    What is it?
    I missed, well, recent. James wants me to look for a secret doors. Oh, look for. They're going to give me an investigation check, like around the pedestal or along the walls. Yeah, like, you know, sometimes you can tell if, like, a secret bookcase has been moved based on the floor pattern or, like, anything like that. There's no dust, so nothing would have been disturbed.
    Yeah. Something like that. Yes. An investigation. Unless you got something else that you think. But, investigation, I think within this one would be one that makes sense. I don't know, it's just been about going around the room, and just, like, tapping my claws on the walls, see if, like, it sounds different. Like a black, hollow thread kind.
    So, like, so you want to try to go a little more? That's fine. Yeah. Perception. Try that.
    Okay. So you start walking around the room and you start trying to, like, listen for the soft spots. You're noticing like it's you're getting the same consistency, but it's almost like a dull knock, so you're not even getting that little reverberation back. It's just like, like as you hit it. And it's like a weird, dull sound as you hear them.
    As you do that, it gives you another kind of walk around the whole room because you're just trying to see you're kind of hitting a little bit lower, a little bit higher. You're not seeing anything. And you once again you're noticing there's no, seems that's the word I was looking for. There's no type of seems there's no, lines.
    There's no there's no there's not even dirt. Like, you guys are the dirtiest thing in this room right now. You dirt feature yourself. I'm not in the room. I am the room. And it appears to be, some sort of stone like material. Like a marble or quartz or something, but, a little bit, like a, like a softer texture almost to it.
    So it's not like it's hard and solid, but. Yeah, there's like, there's some weird quality about it. It's honestly, it seems like it's like a material that you've never really seen before. What, like with a glove? Oh. Oh. How many times can you do that a day? I be me, actually. You sure you want me to go with the glove?
    Yeah, but last time we touched stuff, we didn't use it a lot. I'm already touching. No, I'm already touching the wall. We just want to know what you can, glean from it. I mean, I thought about it, but then I was like, oh, we're not touching stuff. I mean, really, we're going to up having to touch the dice anyways.
    Yeah. Yeah, I think so, yeah. Okay. Do you want me to touch the dice? That's what I was thinking. Okay. Yeah. You that I'm not. I'm. Unless I think there's a wall. Better. I'm going to. I'm going to check and see if, with one of my claws. I'm just gonna see if I can. I scratched the surface.
    Is it or is it hard enough that I cannot even put a little gouge into it at all? Yeah. It you're like. It's almost as you kind of try to scratch into it. Now you're noticing there's almost like a,
    The with your cat's eyes, you're able to kind of see the fact that you're noticing that it doesn't even touch it as you try to scratch. So there's like just an oh, it's this small area of air that you can't seem to kind of get past. And in fact, as you kind of know, seeing this too, you're noticing that there's no lights in the room is just naturally lit.
    Just pray. Wow. All right. Just a natural.
    Light going through what you guys are gonna do down the. Did you want to touch the, dice there? Calliope? Yeah. I'll go touch it. I'll be right next to her in case something is there. I'm going to be, very perceptive of the anything on the walls that might come out or come through. She's touching this.
    I am very keep an eye out everywhere, but. Go ahead and give me a, a history check. History check. Yeah. So.
    Oh. Oh, that was that one. That was that was, what is one? That was the that I will say it. Oh, no. This is the first time it's ever happened with that glove. I don't think you roll the one. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I have a plus eight to history. Definitely not one. Oh, so technically, though, with, these kinds of checks.
    And that one doesn't mean you fail the right. What we will say, though, at the same time, is, first of all, do me a favor and roll d20. Okay?
    For the.
    So. Yeah. So you're right. Now doing great. We're doing we're doing so good, you guys. It's all good. God, this as as your fingers, as you kind of come up to the pedestal and you put your finger on top of the, the dice and a little nervous, and then you touch it, as you touch it.
    The only thing that the glove kind of. For a second there, the glove almost didn't do anything. It seemed. And then you just get a message that, you're kind of in a. That's what I'm looking for here. You're no longer in the material playing right now. You're in a weird kind of, place right now that's not in the material plane.
    That's as much as the glove can really tell you right now. When, it just kind of stops.
    Which is the. I will say they'll give me a quick charisma check.
    That safety check.
    Where is my.
    Oh, All right. As as the glove is kind of just trying to communicate to you like this. And sometimes it's like. Like we've seen when you touch people, it's like, flashes of, people in their lives and their histories and and everything else. And time kind of like, gets into that weird, kind of slowed down thing as it kind of relays that, history and messages to you this time.
    Time doesn't even slow down at all. You just touched it. You feel like. Wow. And it kind of just lets you know you're not on the material plane. But as the glove is trying to kind of, do what, like, do what it's supposed to do, which is give you, like, this inside slide. This as a gift was from the elder.
    Just your natural calliope. This, kind of wills it to kind of try a little bit harder. And as it does so, it just says, kind of gives you the the knowledge that if you were to roll the dice, it should help you get out of here.
    Okay. Why do I feel like we're about to enter a bastardized version of Jumanji? I know, right? When you say that we're on a different plane. Is that just what I'm seeing, or am I getting the impression that that's where we are? That's kind of. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of, it's the message that the, the glove kind of makes you aware of.
    So you are aware of.
    But which, this one I'm not understanding. Are we on a different plane physically than or just the room? This room? Yeah. Doesn't seem to be in the material plane. You're in that room, so you're probably not currently on the material plane.
    Okay. I'm going to say I don't think we're in kids anymore. And, we did roll the dice. Okay, Lowell, roll a d6 for me. Okay.
    Got this. I can't give myself guidance. Right? Right. And I know this is just rolling a dice. I know, I know, it's actually, I know this. I think it just depends on where we go. I don't think the number actually matters as far as whether it's a one or a six, which is. You don't know. You said five.
    No, I don't you just said it was six, not roll it. Just put it down on the six. I yeah. So you pick up the die and you as you roll it. You see as it's like, kind of tumbling a little bit on the, the pedestal, you see, whatever number seems to be at the top now, there's just like a slight glow around certain parts of the room.
    And as it lands on the five, you see that symbol kind of take its place on the wall. And at that point, the there's a doorway that kind of opens up there. You see, it goes into a little stairwell, as I kind of, as a doorway opens up as well, though, the room takes on the same kind of stonework that was in the room with the statues.
    It's almost like instantly as it kind of opens you kind of. It's almost like, almost like the partner looking at his wife. But as you kind of drift, you're starting the it's no longer see the white anymore. It's kind of a weird, eerie kind of presence as now you just have the, you can see the obsidian doorway behind you, and you can see in front of you a, doorway just like a room.
    It's, where I look for just around round doorway, with a, stairwell that goes down.
    Is not the right number one. But, you know, look for ups. Oh, and I should say, as you do notice, too, is that as, I guess a Barlow is one saying. Is that the right number? You also notice that the pedestal is not there anymore. It's just a, dirt. This room actually is a little dirty.
    And then you say some. Said, are we going to check for traps?
    Yeah. I go cautiously down the stairs, but is the door is still here? No, there's no die. There's no it's a dirty bird bedroom. No. Yes. Somebody who's looking for traps. I guess I'll go front of me a little place. Is it lit up in here? Of light? It looks like it goes into a dark, stairwell.
    Yeah. The only light actually, you're noticing now is, is just you're actually kind of in a semi. So my dark room as the light that you guys have currently is mostly just coming from the room behind you from the lightning. The, lava pits.
    If you want inside popped up and hit the wrong button.
    17 versus 17.
    As you're kind of poking around, you see, there is a little stone, on one of these steps where it triggers off something off to the sides.
    We have anything that we can throw trigger some of these traps.
    It's only on. One of the stuff I notice is that on just one spot. All right, I'll. I'll point this. Step out, avoid this very carefully. Once again, do we need to like for people? We're going into darkness, light. More and more darkness. I have, dark vision now. You guys have to. You have to trigger it.
    Yeah, yeah. So the three people with their, dark vision, tattoos that are able to kind of trigger those off. So everyone now should have dark vision. Okay, there's already a dark vision. He's an owl. Doesn't know he's not his owlbear. Owls and bears have dark vision. I don't know if there's two or he does six pairs do.
    Cats don't. And cats should. Yeah, but didn't they fix that I don't know I think in 2024 they made cats have dark vision. I hope so, yeah. All right. It's about indie, right? Yeah. Yeah. 2024. They made paths for.
    It was it. It was the last thing Biden was doing before he left the white House. Yeah. That's good. Finally, equal rights for women and night. Dark vision for the cats.
    So hopefully this was something that I'm thinking about. I didn't double check everything.
    So what I'll do is this.
    She goes over there, like, and see if I see anything. Okay. So far, safety.
    So you.
    Oh, shoot. I put the gas in the wrong layer. That's fine. See anything yet? Nope. Not yet.
    Yeah. Okay. So shadow party. Calliope.
    Bastion and Farlow, you should see yourselves on the left hand side. Yep. As you come down the stairwell, through the, the round walkway, you come into a, like, 25 by 15ft room, very similar to the same type of stonework that was in the original room or the last two rooms, I should say. Except this is a lot of work,
    Sorry. Did you say they were supposed to see each other on I thing? I don't remember the room. I'm just black. I mean, to that because. Yeah, I got the tokens on have, The second thing, I want to give you guys some night vision here. Yeah. I only see the three of us on oh, shadow. And already I see.
    Okay, nevermind. That's on me, but, I put the other ones on the right layer and then. Oh, right. So you're all right, Eric. Oh, hey. So. Yeah, 25 by 15. You see, there's two little doorways here. It looks like one to the east, one to the south.
    It's very similar stone as the other rooms, but, it looks like the. It's like a little bit more carved and cut to, to create these rooms here. Very well created, but also very old.
    Then we'll go to this door up at the top right, and, check it out if anything suspicious on it, perhaps, sir. Like, give me all that fun stuff. Give me one second here before you roll your, just check.
    And look for any writings, any of that stuff. More draconic numbers. One, two numbers.
    All right. Yeah. Go ahead. Give me an investigation. Check. All right.
    1414. You start kind of like looking at the the, where the hinges are and everything else. You don't see any traps.
    All right. Doors locked. It does seem to be locked for the door. Okay, I will try and, pick it. So you do not. Certainly. And 15 minutes sounds important. Let's sit and talk to you once. Well, this is a long. I'm super. Oh. Okay. Let's do this. This, Yeah. Do a sleight of hand with, efficiency bonus.
    Yeah, well, actually, you don't have proficiency yet. I'm sorry. I do not, but I do have sleight of hand. I don't have proficiency in the tool yet. Yeah. No. So there are two things. Do this one, us like a good more, basic dexterity mod to pick it. This is what, 2216 one. It's. Do you need something with sleight of hand?
    Well, it's useful for lot of people. That's right. It's know. Well, so it was the 34 then the 30. Was this by the hand roll? You told me to do the look at the clock ones? Well, pick a lock. Doesn't seem as you as you get the thieves tools in there, you're able to kind of,
    Get the the one the tumblers into place. But as you kind of jam the, the, the last part into kind of open the lock, you notice that there was kind of like a little, bit of, like, lubrication kind of coming out, and you notice it's not lubrication, because you're also starting to not feel so well, on not immediately, not so that you take six points of poison damage.
    Oh, no. And you are currently poison. Oh, that. Which means you have a disadvantage on your attack rolls and your ability checks.
    It's okay.
    Around lock and. But the door did come in. Locked. Okay, so it was open.
    As it. So if you open it up, Yeah. You see that? It unfolds up into a hallway that kind of turns instantly. To the south.
    Any noises coming out of it? I will say, what's everyone's perception? Do I have a table? Hey, before we go through, can I cure the poison? Yeah, yeah, I'm going to pass protection from poison. Touch a creature. If it's poison, you neutralize the poison. There you go. Thank you. And you guys over touch Barlow. Okay. I was going to ask, if it if it works even after they've been poisoned, but.
    Perfect. That's what I know because it's called protection. That's why I read to make sure that it it also healed poison. So as you go over to Barlow and you cast the spell, and you notice that as you do so, you have these, like, little white spores that kind of you're noticing to a lot of times when you cast the spell, the spores that kind of like, appear with, the magical flow of it.
    And so they're able to kind of, take all the poison off of him. And you're fine. No. Barlow, be poisoned. Now, you have protection for poison for the next hour. That's me bringing in the poison traps. All the traps change to,
    Fuck. Anything that we think might be poisoned, we'll just send you now that we, head on in of the gas or anything, right? Oh, just a big. Oh, that's what I'm going to do. You're, I was curious about perception. Passive perceptions. Passive. I mean, 1622. Yeah. So what I'll say is that as you, you're noticing that the room is actually very warm, like it's emanating both from the floor.
    Like, have you ever been in those houses where, like, they have the heated floors? You're noticing it's kind of like that in here. So it's it's pretty warm in here. In fact, as you come around the corner, you're noticing part of the reason why is that you can see there's a little bit of a lava trail down there.
    More lava up here.
    And, As you come around little more slowly, and you see those lava trails, the little trail of lava that's going through there, you're able to kind of also make it out. To little creatures at the other end of the hallway. May they look like they're in the lava? No. So there's, like, tangible, 20ft in front of you.
    There's, like, a little five foot wide, lava, tunnel. Gotcha. Let's see. And on the other side of it, you see, I want to start walking down there. Yeah, because we're about the afterlife, walking down slowly. Okay, I'll move back. Yeah. I figured it would be more like when you came around the corner. You see that there's two.
    Creatures that look very humanoid, except as the next kind of blend into their heads. And, you see, like a snake, like reptilian, head on them. And I would say at that point, as they see you, they are going to want to attack you. So we will go ahead and do a initiative roll here as soon as I can get the there we go.
    So they're snake heads, but the human body, these seem to be a wanted type creature. And you would also been looking at that book before. So you would recognize that for the last one, two things. What was a snake? The boss. Well, that was like the. Yeah, that was a large, and an anathema. I think it was called.
    But these are more like, normal, medium sized, humanoid creatures that are part snake.
    What am I. Oh, that's good.
    What was this? Just let you know. I don't see anything past this lava mark right here. Oh, really? That's the. Yeah, that's the final square I can see right there. That's interesting. Is it? Or is it just because, Ten, I guess. No, there's something in there. Let's see if there's something there.
    So go through.
    There. Like. Oh, yeah, there is. That's where. Sorry. Oh, oh, I know, I, I think I was going to have it where like there was. Oh that's right. Damn it. I screwed up. That's right. Yeah. Oh okay. It was supposed to be lava coming down like a wall of lava. Oh, it's going to be even worse,
    The idea would be. But that's what say, this was like a waterfall after obviously. I was kind of hoping to see, like, you guys would have to figure out how do we get through the lava. Yeah, and I totally forgot about that until you said I was like, why can't you see there that looked at the light layer?
    Okay. All right. It's fine. You can still do a combat. Yeah. Let me go ahead and get them on the next.
    Alexa, kitchen, lead off.
    The.
    What says for version five is, Oh. What? So, Calliope, you see Barlow going around the corner of the room? I will give you a chance to. Barlow, would you have said anything? If you said I could see them when they see me. Yes, I would say guards. Okay. So you hear Barlow say guards. What do you do, Calliope.
    Everybody else is right next to me. So he's the only one. No way forward, right? Yeah, yeah. Just stuck in the doorway. Okay. I would scooch forward.
    All I can see are two doorways, right? Yep. The one on the north is open, though, with Barlow on the other side of it. Okay.
    I'm not going to run in because that would be stupid.
    You.
    I think.
    I will.
    Barlow are next. Can I do can I hold, like, a true strike on a, Yep. The weapon used in the spellcasting.
    So I would like if I was going to use a dagger or something that I have. That, Otherwise, isn't there hair equivalent of your. Which is? I remember there was a whole. You took weapons to strike. Yeah. You hold the things. Belmont is not actions as well. Guided by a force. One that's spells. What's happening? This or like a bolt.
    Can I do it with a bolt? Because, whatever the weapon. Yeah. Proficiency in. As long as you have proficiency and it doesn't say it has to be.
    I have a, proficiency in simple weapons. So would that be, like, a bolt in, You said crossbow bolt. Well, you know, you have a hand. What? What kind of crossbow do you have? Yeah, you have a hand. Crossbow. And you have proficiency. Yeah. You're fine. Yeah. Okay. Okay, so I will I will load a bolt into the crossbow.
    And I'll stand at the ready because I have no idea what we're shooting there. I don't know who who's been are. No. Yeah. No, no. Okay. So I'll just be ready. I'll hold my action. Barlow, you are right before I react. How are they? Are, you see, they have, a scimitar on their, side, and they're holding a longbow.
    So longbow, will. And they're kind of humanoid arms. Since you're asking.
    But they do have scales. The scales also kind of go down the backs as well. So, Yeah, I want to find some for them. So I'm going to, pull up my crossbow.
    Load it with my bastion. You up next? You fire at the guy in front.
    23 will hit.
    But there's no rage on that. No worries. So just nine.
    And then I will move back into the room. Ten. They got longbows. So as as you, like, easily just shoot the ball, and it kind of, cuts across one of his arms and you hear, like, and scythe and like his, like, long forked tongue. Kind of, like, comes out a bit as he winces and you run back.
    Bastion, you are a shadow. You're up next. Oh, wait. What? Oh, yeah. No, I yeah, I'm going to move up to see. Wait, I can't see past this one spot.
    You can't see forward one square. You know, I can literally only see well, you have to put me.
    He's moving his character. Yeah. I cannot see past this one spot. All right, hold on. I want to see what's going on here.
    That's where the curtain of lava went.
    You know, I bet it is.
    You had a light source in the first room. Okay, so your light's not on, that's why. Okay, my light there. Darkvision. Give me a second here.
    Visions.
    Night visions. Not tonight. Yeah. There we go. What is the 30ft for you guys? Is.
    I don't remember. Yeah, you should be able to find now. I think it's 60. I think 60 is superior. Oh, I think it's just. No, you're right. It's 60 regular. Yeah. How did 20 20th superior. So hold on here. Oh. All righty.
    I'm just going to.
    Open this guy with, Ray Frost twice.
    Was 11 hit? 11 will not hit. The ray of Frost shoots forward. It hit the fact it kind of hits low and it actually, like, bounces off of his, scimitar. But the second one, like. 17 points or something else with the Ray Frost? He slowed, I believe things just minus a few minus minus ten, -ten feet.
    Yeah. And then I'm going to move back. Gods. And then my turn. No worries. You see, as you shoot that one, though, it hits them, like, right there in the chest. And like, he gets, like, start seeing it even turn to, like, instantly frostbite in that little area there as it starts to kind of taken on a black ish, like, weird scaly look.
    There. And then you jump back. Shadow, you are, it's the one tes up next and then says, all right, my turn. Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. Oh, careful. They got big, long longbows. Okay, okay. Yeah, I'm gonna shoot them.
    To sort of set the, 26. Okay, so do bow force to warm.
    And I'm going to use my thing and reroll one of the dice. Fuck. That will force. Yeah. One of my bullshits is worse. Three, four, ten, 14 plus 923 for the first hit. All right. So you can see as. And that one had your little, spirit swarm. So as the swarms, like, as they start, like, kind of like attacking him, you see some of the swarms actually, like, because it's like a bunch of little ones and you see a few of them actually kind of growing in size a little bit.
    Does that look like it hit him? Like damage done pretty good though. That hurt pretty good. Okay, I'm gonna do it again. The, not as good. 17. I don't have. Okay. That's not a swarm. Damage.
    812 plus nine is 21. How do you want to do this? I want to get him right between the eyes.
    As your, strike hits him right in the eyes, you see him fall back. And you see behind him was another one still back there. And so I'll run back and go, oh, there's one more left. The second one. Rethink it. Yeah.
    That one saw his friend go down.
    This was that bullshit that I used. In case you're wondering. It's like your piercing. Yeah.
    Imagine a piece, a piercer mixed with elven archer over Elden Accuracy. You know, an archer gets a reroll in next one and the piercer lets you reroll, and that should be 20.
    Maybe like crazy. A little bit of sharpshooter in there. Yeah. Sharpshooter. Along with maybe, like a level of rogue just to get the sneak attack image. What's the one? Isn't it? Glen stalker, where if you go over first, you get, like, a whole bunch of extra damage dice. So stupid like that. Yeah.
    It was my Canadian friends we had, one guy was a bugbear. Yep. Gloom stalker. And so we would always defer our turns. Like, even if he was later, we'd be like, oh, we're going to hold an action. And he would one shot him first. One turn. Yeah. But then he had, I think he had a flirt or something like that.
    So his initiative was plus ten on top of everything anyways, so he was always first. Anyways, it was great. That's what I feel like. Like we're on the other game. It was like there wasn't much work. Yeah, I'm going to get alert for him. We need level four, so do it. Since nobody can see down the hallway.
    You guys hear a noise?
    Sass. You hear the pitter patter of snakes? Into his ears was.
    Are they speaking? Partial tongue?
    It was more so. I don't I don't know what the noise was that I heard it was more or sounded like a door. Closing. Right. Okay. Well.
    The things that inside. And so as sass comes around the corner, you don't see any buddy there. Oh, I see the dead body. You see the dead body on the other side of a five foot ravine of moving magma. Okay. As you go through the the door.
    Yeah. We haven't tried the other door, have we? Yeah. I turn and tell them, hey, they're gone.
    So at this point, then what? We'll go ahead and do as we will. Go ahead and step out of combat.
    Right now, like all my bolts think, okay.
    And what do you guys want? I imagine you shooting the bolt at the other door just to see what happens.
    Oh, good. Anything else? You hit the other door. Do the damage. Attack. I'll do. I, hit the, Give me attack roll. That's what I'm looking for. Okay, that's it's a, Is.
    Two plus seven. Yeah. So that is 22. Okay. A second. If there is actually.
    It technically is.
    15. What was your, what was your attack? 22 oh, yeah, I.
    Do damage.
    One d6 was you.
    Eight. So you let the, spell go as you realize that you did. You didn't want to waste it. So. And then we were talking about going to the next door. So you shot it at the door. As you shoot at the door, you can see that it kind of like, hits right at the hinge.
    So one of the hinges now is kind of broken off the door. Still kind of there, but it's a little bit. And then it also kind of chips out some of the wood there, as it kind of breaks off, actually some of the wood that's there. I guess you would also see a little bit of light kind of poking through, as you've kind of the same orangish glow that you've seen before.
    Any other sound besides the, the door sound?
    Like an air of guards. You don't hear anything like that? No.
    You have the door versus the rest of the door. Yeah. It's poison, but this one's poison to. At least he's, safe now. Yes. Yeah. Let's get back. Everyone back up. Five feet for me. And I'm just. I'm going to worry about checking the door. I'm just going to grab the crowbar. Pry this fucking door open there to know we're here now.
    Yeah, go for it. Do a strength, strategic. Advantage. I guess I would just, no be been like an attack. Really would be an attack. Trying to think. I just need you do a strength check. The strength check will do it that way. Okay? Because it's it's got some damage already, but maybe you can kind of.
    Okay. Yeah, we'll just do that. We'll just do a. Do you see like 26. That'll be enough. Especially with the fact that it was already damage. So you're able to kind of like fly off the, the, the part where the door is and with a broken hinge, it just kind of falls down. As the door falls down here, we will have.
    As you kind of peer through, you do. See, here is a wall of lava coming down. Like, you step in real quick, see, on the steps of the doorway. And so the next word for next to, I think you see what I can see. So either you're looking at a five by foot, 15ft room, with, three of the three walls and a fourth wall made of just lava as it's kind of dripping down.
    Wow. It's pretty hot in here. Yeah. The back. As soon as I see that as a small room on the screen, but with a curtain of lava coming down, I don't know if we can get through this way. Shit.
    Oh.
    Wow, that. All we see is just some lava. A wall of lava. Just kind of like, like a waterfall of lava that's creating a wall.
    The hospital. Well, at the end of the other hall, there was a door. Yeah. Let's go back into the home, and I guess let me go back in. I'm going. I'll leave the way. Can we jump over that little lava stream that's in that one? Looks like it's five feet. Yeah, we can jump it.
    Oh, we get a little running. Start from here and cross it. So there is still the the dead body on the other side. So you'd have to if you want to have no problem really landing, you should be able to to get at least ten feet. Yeah. I should be able to screw that with my jump and then I'll direct once out of the way.
    But yeah, I'll just kick it in the lava. Whatever. So so yeah, I could easily make my job.
    Yeah. There's doesn't have to be any real issue because I mean, what is it with, the jump through running on jump?
    I had it on my character sheet of one, and now it's gone. And my jump distance is down.
    Oh, there it is. I still have my left. Right carry. So long jump. When you make a long jump, you cover a number of feet up to your strength. Score. If you move at least ten feet immediately before the jumping. So to make the long jump, with the running.
    When you land in difficult terrain, you must succeed on a DC ten dexterity to land on your feet. But your strength score, not your modifier. So yeah, it's press score so I can run along to be ten feet. Yeah. Everyone I don't see. I don't think anybody should have any real problem jumping over this. So. Yeah. Well, like I said, once he gets there he's going to move the body.
    Yeah. But even I was even looking at for five nobody would have a problem. So I think, you know, everyone's strength is more than ten. Yeah. So the feet at least. Yeah. You get on the other side, you're able to kind of move, the dead body over a little bit. Let's give everybody else a good landing area so they can,
    Oops. There's a couple doors down here, too. Which door do you think you went out? They both open or both close? They're both closed. Yes. There's two closed doors here.
    All right, well, they're coming in, jumping over. I'm going to, They're start examining the storm and. Yeah, give me an investigation. Check. Oh, there's one here, too. Next to me. Yep. Yeah. These doors. But, you know, that's the issue.
    So, see? As you investigate the door, it's locked. You don't see any trapping mechanism on it? Good luck. All right. I picked that sucker. Come on, guys, let's go.
    26. Yeah. You're able to, get the tumblers moved around with no problem. I'm gonna open the door. I haven't prepared.
    Ready? Let's go.
    Is the door still locked? You paying where you are? I am stuck in the door. No, we're just on the other side. There you go. Okay. Oh, you I don't know. Okay. All right, so as you open up the two.
    You're going to get hit in the face. Oh, there is, oh, I knew it. I knew it.
    Well, we're all on a line again. It's okay.
    I just have it. Almost died last time. You know, he's like, yeah, I know I'm good. That's why I made all the very narrow passageways. I found a long corridor. We didn't look at it. We did not learn our lessons. Well, there really wasn't much other option. Important thing is, I've learned the lesson.
    That's all that matters. So let's see you.
    Oh, there.
    Let's get a little bit more space again. Oh, wow. Guys, the house initiative on a rolled.
    Yeah, that's what I want.
    Oh, shoot.
    But with it being this narrow. And I know that Barlow's a friendly. But can I move past him? Even so, you what? You can. You can move through a friendly spot. You just can't stop there. Right. So. And that mean based on what I understand, there's been debate on whether or not that means, like, you can get to where he's at and then attack technically that's stopping.
    So you'd have to there has to be another spot that you can go to if you're going to do so like that. Well, I mean, there is another spot at the moment right in front of him. Yeah. I also was just kind of thinking of shoving the guy so that he was at the doorway. And the rest of our party can get in.
    And not being a line anymore. You can't do that. It's always a developed attack. Let's go find something.
    Too bad. Man. This doesn't factor into, shoving as well. As you just roll your ass down a hallway every time.
    Figured I've got enough weight. I don't know how we would calculate that, but I should be able to shove him right? Yeah. So just make regular, you'll be like, as opposed to, strength. That looks counter. I mean, I'm 600 pounds. You can't hold me down. I'm not fast, but I'm strong and heavy. All right, maybe someone in this world needs to invent roller skates real quick.
    Puts you on some roller skates. We'll just roll all the way back. Just push you on. Stays in front of us from here. Going down through your back. Just, you know, just shoot a little bit.
    Oh, no. Here we go.
    Yeah. Where the heck's my stats? I don't I don't have character sheets in this. And because still my other notes. Yeah. Let me get everything figured out on this. Where you want to.
    You up? This would be from, Let's see. Barlow's best and shadow. That's the lighting. All right. Andy and I are distracted. Oh, sorry. Are you guys looking at horse video? No, no. No texting, Outlander stuff. I'm looking at. We're we're publishing. We're sending each other memes of Outlander. But not just Outlander of his, but. And it's all.
    And his horse and his horse. But, I mean, yeah, honestly, I'll take his butt, but that's not what we ordered. But look, know horse won. I was not watching the horse videos. You were watching horse videos? No. There's somebody that I follow. Shut up. There's somebody that I follow on. It's set off, I do not. I follow this person on TikTok that has a ranch, and all of her horses are having their babies right now, and I'm super invested.
    So I've been following her since her horses got pregnant, so of course I have to watch the baby one. Then I can end up on horse talk before it goes away. I do, yeah, it's a Sunday. I know I'm like it's a lady that I've showed you before that she has a mini farm. She has many horses, many donkeys.
    And he goes oh yeah. Yeah. That's your mini farm. Let's see. You wish, I wish I was mini.
    Your mini to me I'm trying to get them and it is true.
    Right. All right. So I put on descending order, starting with sass. As you can see, the other side, you see. Oh, wait. Hold on. He was holding an accent and he still gets to do his little attack, though. Yeah. You gonna shoot me? Technically, I should do surprise. Well, you guys would have had. You guys would have been ready for it, so I'm not going to be surprised.
    Even though they were like, he was obviously ambushing. So he will use his scimitar.
    That's nice. You shoot.
    Actually, I just had I just had in my head that he was, like, ready for the attack, but I didn't think about what attack he was going to hold. Got some. Shot. Why does it say your Nubian escort? Because he is. Because I don't know. I don't know anything about this. 40.
    It's funny. I'm like, in, like, 50, 70 brooms, and I don't do anything with any of them except for this. And the other one. Let's go ahead and do this.
    Second.
    Look at him as well. Come at me, bro.
    You suggest a course? I.
    No, I don't want to do that. That's not what I thought it was going to do. Yeah, I we'll just have this avatar. Okay?
    Let's see, 23 is. It's.
    Take eight points of slashing damage as it strikes out at you.
    And then it says straight. All right. I am going to try running and shoving him out of the doorway. So the party come through and we're not stuck in a hallway. All right. So doing a shove attack? Yeah. I don't have a specific show of attack, so I'm not sure which one to roll. There's a shove action. There's one where I find it.
    Right? Yep. So I make sure this is something we don't normally do. Yeah. It's pretty much a strength check, I believe. I think it's a contested strength checks. I believe that's kind of what I figured it. They.
    There's another. No. He's allowing you're five or you can just shove abilities and there's certain shields that allow you to add to your shoving ability. Stuff like that.
    Where the my strength is only a plus one half a defensive right? Yeah. No, I was thinking about that the other day where it's like, well, that's why they used to hit. And the one thing they're trying to get rid of is the there used to be like the race. Oh, benefits was the fact that certain races, like a turtle should have a higher strength.
    You would imagine, because of the fact that they have a lot of weight, that to carry every day. Yeah, 600 pounds in this. What is going on here? I think that's some thick thighs. Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to play. You can't take me down easy on.
    That's move. It's not loading on my other thing. So
    So do you want to, do you want to push it to the side or push it away? I just want to push them backwards. Okay, so using the attack action, you could make a special melee attack to shove it in there to knock it prone or push it away from you. And will that be. That'll be an action.
    So that'll be your attack. Action. If you're able to make a mental attack to the attack action, this can replace one of the. You only have one attack action though, right? Yeah, yeah. It's beautiful after the bummer because I'd like to do some damage, but I feel like if he's just standing at the doorway, our party can't do much.
    It must be it's the same size, so that's not a problem. So you're going to make an, strength or athletics check. That's it. By the target's strength or athletics or dexterity acrobatics. So he gets a choose. They're all. They're all plus one. You said it's athletics, acrobatics, strength, the dexterity. It's going to be a strength or athletics for you.
    Strength or athletics. Nothing.
    19 was pretty good for him. It was like a plus three or something. 3 or 4 plus one. So I rolled an 18. Yeah, that's good. Yeah that's no problem. He gets a six. Oh nice. You're able to push him back one.
    Then okay. And then since I can only have one attack unfortunately I can't do any damage. But I will move into the room right now as you move into the room. Hold on. Here.
    I also, just so you know, next time shoving, not only going to be back, but you do things. You can also knock him down front as you go into the room you see here. There's actually three of these creatures here. They're, there's two others that looks like they're like, guarding doors. And then to the northeast, you see that very similar to what you saw in the first room.
    But. All right. So I don't like I said, I don't have a I don't have a bonus action to do any damage. So that's it. Shadow, you are up. Well, I'm going to say though, are you going to use if you use your what's it called? Can't you just burn your shillelagh in that round? I don't know.
    I guess you don't have a lot of bonus actions. I was gonna say, in case you want to use the bonus action next round. I mean, I mean, casting it on the ax is the is a bonus action, but actually swinging it is an action. What I'm saying is, that way you burn your bonus action this round, and then if you do have one that takes the bonus action next time, you're not like, oh, I use my boat, you know what I'm saying?
    Okay. Yeah, absolutely. But I don't know, shot of Europe follow you on that, right. If I get behind Barlow, can I shoot over him? It's the way I do it. Especially in a place like this. If you're if there's nobody else it in front of you guys, that's fine. Like, right now, you'd have a harder time hitting because Barlow's there.
    But if you're within, like, the five feet block. No, because then you're like, oh, you're just like, shoot over the shoulder. The problem is, is if there's like more distance between you and that person now there's a problem, right? Right. So if I'm right here, yeah, if you go where the dead bodies at which that dead body, by the way, I should say, is, difficult terrain.
    Difficult terrain. Right. So you do have to burn an extra five feet to get through that spot. So just heads up on that. Oh, I said I toss it in the lava. Oh, did you okay. Yeah. I want to push on the lava when it's here. Let me, Yeah. I'm not gonna worry about. Okay. So then from here, I'm going to try to, to just.
    Say, I don't hear you. What my head looks like. Oh, that'll hit.
    Oh, wait, you have disadvantage on that, though. No no no no no no no. What is that. There might. No no no I think there we go now. You're fine, you're fine, you're fine. So what's the damage. What's your damage. What's your damage.
    To me D8 points of damage. As the arrow slices into his arm. All right. Yeah.
    That'll hit.
    The other one. Kind of like, hits them right in the chest as well. He's. He's not doing well. Anything else?
    Know, can you plug your headphones in or. Okay. That's it then? Yeah. All right. Barlow, you were up. Calliope, you are on deck. All right. Bonus action range. And boom, boom boom saturates that, if you can, to see, you can still see my.
    My characters. There you go. Thank you. Yeah, you can even click on them. So weird. Oh, there it is. I'll swing, swing, swing around. You know, come here to that. Like it's going to be. I'm a rage. I'm going to hit his ass, but I'm not going to go, reckless. So I'm curious. How'd you get on the other side of him?
    Oh, you went the extra just swung around. Okay. Yeah, I just zipped around. That's what. Make sure that. Yeah, yeah. No. No opportunity for me. And what's of.
    Well, I think that you missed 12. Yeah. No, that actually that's the AC. Like the ones that you guys must be 411. Hang. Yeah. Oh he's. I should've remembered actually, Cliff, he's the one I have to remember. I have to be careful on that. Because if Calliope misses, like one point, she still hits, with her witch or whatever.
    Was that 19 damage slashing and 419 damage. 19. So. Yeah. Yeah. You want to do this nice, full, just two slices in the back. You're just, you know, play the back of his ribs and you go down as he goes down, I'll turn to the next guy. Yep. And I will go into, Catches reckless after a shot of myself.
    I don't think I'll stick with.
    27. 27. Yeah. That's going to hit. Okay, so I got something blocking the bottom of screen. Did it roll damage? No. Was it just hit okay, something of this and see some weird happening. Okay. Damage on that one, then. Oh. That's nice. 16 and then get a little freaky into that sweet 27, you know, I know, look at it with 18 damage.
    Here. And I had the right guy. Yeah. I'm scared. I was like, I'm not taking it up on my, ten.
    He's hurting as you slightly crossed. I'm sure you're like like just cutting through these, like, this rough, kind of scaly, hide.
    You see, I'm trying to kind of block it with his, scimitar, but he's too slow.
    Done. So we got Calliope. So he's not. Is he dead? The first guy is. Okay. Second guy is not. And that's as far as you know. Gooch. Can I see over. Bastion to where things are happening? Like, what's, you can see that, like, Well, I'm in this ten, 20, 30, 40, 50.
    Yeah. It's right there at the edge of your, dark vision. You see Barlow fighting in the other room with, another one of those creatures. Okay.
    I'm going to scooch up behind, shadow because I think. Let me. Check this just in case. Oh, dang it. I need to go a little further. Be careful though. He go up here, he technically has a bit of cover with Barlow in his way. So what I'm thinking is it is laughter. Okay. Which I basically just need to see.
    Yeah, that's. You're fine on there. Is it just weapon attacks? Okay. So I will target the guy that's in front of Barlow. Yes, sir. Laughter. It is laughter.
    What? Action? 30ft. Pull out your tiny tarts in a feather concentration for one minute. Kitchen. Some teenage business.
    Do you say anything? You know the part in the Grinch where he grabs the mistletoe and wags underneath? Split? So he's going to do a wisdom saving throw. Let's use the feather. And, this is exactly.
    Doing. I.
    What's your ace? Your. This was a DC 16. Yeah. It is. Yeah. It's going to land. So he is. What? He's, I don't know if you ever heard a snake, like, laugh, but that's what it kind of sounds like right now as he falls to the ground, because I believe it makes him prone. Yeah, he's like a leaky balloon.
    Yeah. Coming incapacitated and unable to set him up for the duration. Future with an intelligence score at the end of each turn, takes damage. Can make another wisdom saving throw. It has advantage on a saving throw if it's triggered by damage. So right now he's going to be prone.
    Which reminds me, I got to remember that. So you are.
    You change anything? Calliope and fashion are concentrating still. All right. That's. Did you go? I did not go. You know, I'm I'm. I'm behind. I'm behind. Everyone else there. He's like, oh, that's the last. You're hiding in the middle of the. He's got gotcha. Second. Yeah. Anything else? Calliope? Nope. That's it. Okay. We'd like to save the best for last.
    So large animated statue. What? I didn't see you that. Now I see what was the. You see that over there? Me or the character? But I see not see that.
    I guess I would have seen you take that out, so I guess it would go for you.
    Well, it did see her. It did see her shove him. But then it saw you kill him. So I'm going to give it, Who want to hide? Who wants love between, bastion. Bart. Sorry. Barlow and sass. I'll take, and shoot the character. I'll take. Okay. Okay. So that's how I. I. It is whatever that means.
    I need a dexterity saving throw from you. For me? Yeah. No. For me? No, for talking to me like I'm a robot. I didn't I didn't hear anything weird. So then she said hi. Oh, I said hi. Say hi there. My. Yeah. That's fine. Oh, yeah. I didn't hear you say that. I didn't hear her say hi.
    That's weird. Oh, we both that. I probably did it. Yeah. That's fine. I'll go ahead. Yeah, well, my next name was seven, so I'm pretty sure I'm about to get knocked down. So you take 17 points of fire damage as it shoots out, from that magma. That's it's like, kind of resting in kind of draws it up a bit, and then it shoots it out at you.
    Okay. That's all I can really do, though. It's it's big. It's high. Well, I can do that if you're within ten feet, but I think you. It's far enough away. Oh, no, it.
    No. Yeah. You're right. Right there at the cusp. It'll be able to hit you. We'll say that it. No, no, I don't want to answer that. So that'll be it. The one team is dead.
    The other one is laughing hysterically with this weird sounds. He gets to do another save at the end of his turn. And it fails. Best. And you are up, Ray. All right, I'm going to jump this gap. Okay. And then I'm going to move forward over here.
    Actually, I'll move over to this guy and give him a base attack and then hit him with a true, two true strikes. Okay. Oh, wait. Take a move over here. Right flank him. How much do you have? So I think you're right. You were at 40 at that last spot. Oh, there you go. Wait.
    Whoa. Okay.
    Okay. Never mind. Stop it. Okay, I'll go back here. Is what? Once I was here.
    Okay.
    And then you'll be up after the next one to.
    Okay, I'm going to cast level four, scorching rate on this guy.
    Let's see. Can I do this? I guess now you set up a whole bunch of stuff. Scorching Ray. We're all normal.
    You said level four. Yeah. So. All right. 15. 29. 17. 11. So one. Two, three. So four of them would hit. It was one that looks like it didn't hit.
    So 15 hits? Yeah. 15 hit. The 11 is the only one that doesn't hit. All right. So 814, 21 and 27. Just use.
    So as you shoot off these, different, fire. Well, how does it even say it is? Rays of fire that's kind of are hurled at him. One of them, like, hits against the wall. But the rest of on you, you see, like, kind of strike and burn into the scales.
    Anything else? Nope. I am my turn. He just got hit by you. He saw him take somebody down and then move up to the next guy. But since you were the one that hit him, he would go ahead.
    I guess you might as well just step on his dead friends. It doesn't matter.
    Oh, I get to attack him. Oh, yeah. He would. I could have hit him. What? He didn't cross you, but he did. Okay, I know he can go. No. He probably. That's the way I mapped it out. You're. That's totally fine. They're not stupid, right? So pretty smart guy. Yeah. Yes. Right. They're smarter than I am.
    Yeah. What? They tell me the 20s. 1617 as you as he runs at you, he pulls out his a scimitar.
    That's the 19.
    And, 15 two. Those hit, bastion.
    To me. Yeah, yeah. Give me one sack. Ronald. Just,
    I am at 19 right now, so the first one hit and the second one doesn't, but what does, stone skin. What what were they again? 19 and, 1550, isn't it meats. It eats it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It beats it. So it goes through. Okay. And then stone skin is still active. So, so it is resistant to non-magical.
    So that's what half damage,
    Yeah. So it's supposed to be six points of slashing damage. They take three points. But you do get hit, so you got to do a concentration check.
    But tration, it's just a save answer. You. And it wasn't a lot of damage. So you just need to hit the 1010 or more. Yeah. You're fine as it tries to strike down. And it hits your solid rock body right now. And eight hits. Is that you? It's misses with the second hit. I guess that would be if for him.
    Success. You are up. All right.
    So for that shillelagh. You know, not because I don't want to be five feet from that thing. So we're going to chill, touch. You got just keep a teensy bit of distance, but 19 to hit a check. Yeah, that hits nine. Necrotic.
    Check on. And it's not immune to that. So you're fine. Wait. No.
    All right. So nice and simple. Shadow. You were up close. Barlow, you were on deck.
    All right, you guys aren't in the funnel anymore, sir. Oops. I can't see the next door.
    That's French corridors with ten rooms. It wasn't a room. So you get stuck on the door? No, I just need to be able to see better. But now that I'm in his range of his, range, I can't. I don't want to leave real Z. So I'm going to,
    You know, just for shits and giggles, I want to do my story on the guy that's furthest from me. Okay. You don't want just 14. Hit that. Don't hit one by Barlow. So it's ten piercing ten piercing. Yeah. As you strike it out of him. Do I have to pull the creature closer. You create a little like room.
    It lashes out at your command towards a creature range. It's really spell check. If it hits, they take one d6, and if it is large or small, and you pull it, it does say if it is larger or smaller, you pull it. It doesn't say you get to choose. This is up to ten feet. So I'll just choose.
    Oh yeah, I guess you could choose zero feet. Yeah. You see zero. Yeah. You don't have to because if, if I pull it, that still doesn't count. As far as, Barlow getting an opportunity attack, right? No, no, it's best to move. Yeah. What's. Yeah. That's right. That now force movement though does seem to work though, I guess with the other things.
    Like your thorn, ground thingy. Right. It's like birth rate. Yeah, yeah. Spike. Gross. And my throat is still freaking scratchy, and that's because it's been so dry and gross. Super dry. I know, I'm just tired of this. Excuse that. The other weekend, I actually like when I was like, that night, I did start getting sick. And then I was sick the whole weekend.
    I was just like after being sick for a week, and then I just got really bad over the weekend. Still freaking messed me up. All righty. Well, is everybody looking our side? Still looking pretty good on health. Yeah, I mean, yeah, look over as you look around. I mean, you're not doing the greatest. And you see that sass is not doing the greatest.
    All right, then, I'm going to be honest. Yeah, for my bonus action. Then I'm going to cast, healing spirit.
    Level two. So that just puts it somewhere right? Yeah. And I made you a token, didn't I? Yeah. You did. Yeah. You did. Oh, is this one of those things where you. It sits there and then you can a person can walk through it or something. I think she can move it to on you on a bonus action I can move it.
    I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Moves into space for the first time or starts its turn. It can restore one d6. So I'm going to center it right on top of Barlow's head. So when he starts his turn next hill, he can take the one d6. Did you put it up there? Yeah. No, because I was reading,
    Just right. A little, little owlbear, right? Yeah, it's a little guy. There's a little spectral owlbear coming. Starts to form right above you. Well, we'll say that's kind of more or less is actually in your space. So it's almost it's like that, armor from, the X-Men or she's got like that little red kind of shell around her.
    Right. So that's the only guy, I guess, who reads the comic books. Okay. No action card number one, plus my spellcasting ability modifier so I can do it. Five times. That's.
    Right. Anything else? Yeah. No. So I'm guessing. Barlow, you're going to take your first. The first hit? Yeah, I'm going to. And then what do I get for five hit points that you pass the first time? One d6, one d6. I think it's a five hit points that you rolled. Yeah. That was the first one you rolled in half of the sixth time.
    Okay. Yeah. Well then that be every time I think so because it's a different character to do person. It's always weird because sometimes like they, it seems like they want you to roll one time. And some spells are like that, but we'll let you do I think on this one we've done it each time, so that's fine.
    Yeah. So if you want to take the five, take the five, and then in the next one you can roll. Yeah. Sounds good. All right I'm on to this one. I'm a regular no club here on deck. Oh. Create this. Oh yeah. So do me a favor and you roll me another d20. Okay.
    Another 20. All right. Does that, like, quadruple damage? Well done. So.
    Max damage on the acid damage to eight. It's crazy. I need another d20 from you. That was really good damage. Three in a row. Go for the turkey. Nope. 30. 13. You can give ten temporary hit points to anyone, even yourself.
    Okay. As you strike down, and I think what was your damage? Yeah, that's more than enough as well. So it's one for. And you're in the midst of your rage as you are, like, you feel the owlbear around you kind of give you a little bit of comfort and warmth, but it's not enough to kind of calm you down and you see, like, kind of spittle and drool kind of come out at you as you kind of started slashing at the guy in front of you as you start striking out of them, kind of almost like a barbarian fury.
    You start slashing at him a few more times. You're, Mark lights up once again, and this time you feel it kind of like shoot out little, little silver. You see a little bit of, even silver flames kind of encompass you a bit as you get to take on that, extra healing as well.
    Nice. And you see the body go down is dead. I feel that energy from the mark around my neck. It's like a tattooed ring around my neck, like a necklace kind of thing. And I'll just grab it now. I'll throw it and I'll toss it over to sass and give her the 1010 temporary just points.
    For a little ten point shield on you. I haven't moved yet. I can't remember how we bought the statues last time. The fire? Yeah. Not in this fire.
    All right. I'm just going to move to this doorway because the furthest away from that statue. And, I must say, everyone else hug the walls. Well, it's time to start working on this door. Okay. That was your ass. Well, there's no one else. Yeah, there's my bastard. What? What I take back to the last five minutes, I think you still.
    You still have enough movement to get up there. I just want to play a movement. So, like, one extra step back up. Step back. Here is where it's back. Take one step back and finish up with us in the in the rage of everything in the moment. Then you started trying to get your bearings and you started going to the door, and then you're like, wait, there's another guy here and some other guy here.
    I didn't even see him.
    And he is. It's just, it's 15, 18 damage. 18 damage.
    And still up. And I'll take my free swipe.
    And that will 12. So what, you said 12 over 12. It's that is there. I see I have a pretty low.
    Well exposed skin, no armor. And it's still standing, but barely as he's on his last leg, his last like a, Yeah, that's that's it. And that's how.
    All right, Calliope, you are of a 12 leg. That's. Well, there's less scale, but there you go. I'm going to scooch through the door if I can get. If that's okay. If we get, like, down here, I can see. Yeah, you're right next to him. Now. Wait. Is that. I thought that guy was dead, though. The one I'm right next to not be.
    So he's the one that's on his last day? Yes. He's. Here you go. What's the X underneath? And, the other one, he's, he's on top of his dead body. Kick him in the on Wolf man. Got nards to go to sleep. Got that. Well, I mean, okay, he's right there. I will go with him with my dagger.
    Dagger? My enchanted dagger. I was going to say you should never do this.
    I.
    Think.
    It's going to dagger shortsword. Radiant damage eight. Okay, so I guess I just do a short sword attack, right?
    Yeah. Okay. I think it's actually. Yeah, it's a short sword. Now is what it is. That's why. Okay. Yeah, it was a dagger. That is not another weapons. But then we settled on it being a short sword when they got reforged. Yeah, because I had a class on it. Right. So, so plain. Well, you could do it with a strike, so that way it gets a plus ten to your attack.
    Roll. Okay, let's do that and adds more damage. Yeah. So okay. Let's do that okay. So that's 16 plus seven. So that's 23 I can see it. Yeah. 20 to hit. Yeah. That's going to hit okay. So then damage would be one d6 plus a one d8 plus. So what what version of true strike is she using?
    She's using the, the weapons. True strike. I think it's the. That was the whole thing. We went through. And they made the 2024 rules. So she went with, I think you two. I think I need them differently. So. But mine just does extra radiant damage it. Also, it's supposed to. Sear. Yeah, but she's using it to strike on her special weapon.
    So that's why this actually bonuses? Well, no, she's getting that one. D6 is the regular damage. And then one d8 was the radiant damage. You know, I'm just confused where the plus ten comes from. Or is that her other they had to hit that was to hit. Okay, okay. Because it allows you to use, this year you make lesser use her spellcasting modifier.
    Yeah. It uses a spellcasting ability for the attack and damage rolls instead of strength or dexterity. That's why for her, that's the best way of doing it, because it lets her use reconstitute or charisma instead of her strength or dexterity. So if I roll my 16 plus 723, it would be ten on top of that. Anyway. I'm sorry.
    What? Yes, hit right. Yeah. 16 was your die roll. You get a plus ten threes in the weapon and that's what that's about. So so right now in the has the cantrip upgrade. So when she attacks so when you attack two. So here's a deal. You can use radiant damage or your weapons normal damage type. So you can either take the first part out of the one d6.
    That can be either radiant or I think it's slash 16 or whatever it is. Your thing is it's piercing with the sorcerer. That's right. So you could choose based and that comes into play based on what the creature you're fighting. Because, and then because it has the cantrip upgrade, it goes up. So when you reach level five, it goes up to adds or supposed to be adding on the six, not D8.
    Why does it have one d8? There? I don't know, but on the actual spell description showing it through strike radiant damage 6,000,026. Is that three? So it looks like it rolls it in the description as well. Well that's what I was looking at. Oh yeah. When you, you know, roll the damage. That's because it well I created that card there two d6.
    I don't know where that extra radiance coming from then that. Oh that I think that's is that your weapon. That might have been the bonus that your weapon had. And then it had the glancing bonus on top of it. I think that's. Yeah, that's what it was. Okay. Okay. So the first one that was rolled was the 11 and the eight.
    But I was just rolling. Oh damn. I see what it was. But it doesn't matter. He honestly, like I said, he was on his last leg. I think that he had five head points. You were going to take them down and you got so I was very proud of myself. So, Yes. Oh. It's a killing blow.
    Yeah. It it. Yeah. As you pull back your sword, you cast the spell as it is. The sword kind of takes on a radiant glow, and it pierces right into the chest of the, creature, and it falls to the ground. You still hear the fist and all the heavy lifting. You still hear the sound behind you.
    As you notice now you are in this room where there's still one creature left in here, in the middle of the lava lake, there's a large animated statue, as you saw before. Anything else. We there but.
    We're thinking for the last time, we know he couldn't reach us from far away, I think. I don't remember, it was only like a little something half an hour ago. Yeah. For some reason, it feels like it's. For some reason, I don't know what it is. Someone must have cast a memory spell on memories. Well, yeah. Stop.
    All right. Is that it, then?
    Yeah, I think. Yeah. That you. He's going to see if he gets his fiery breath.
    Eyebrow back. You got it. It does not feel like a breath back. Oh, I'm so wait. Yeah. You're up next. It also can't really. Yeah. You're right. Now you realize it has a reach of ten feet and it can't do anything. It's outside of it's lava attack when you're far away. Yeah, that's what it did last time I stayed back.
    So that is all I can do. You are dead. That's in Europe. You know you just went afk. No, no he waited. I'm going to move over here so we don't get everyone in the same area. And then I'm just going to.
    Simply fucking pause.
    I guess I'm just going to rare frost. This guy twice.
    14 hit. It's a ray of forest. Oh, wait. I'm clicking the. Oh, nice damage for that frost. Holy shit.
    There's one.
    There's two. That's it, that's it. Yeah, it's it's getting different. Oh, no. Mind. 21 hit. Yeah. Both of them were going to hit 18. It just barely hits. 18. That's AC you notice so it's 20 to. And it seems that it takes the full brunt of the full damage. And I and my turn. You got sass. You were up.
    Shadow. You on deck now. I'll be back.
    Yeah. I am keeping my distance. I feel statue do another chill touch. 25 to hit. It right necrotic.
    Oh, I would love to get in there for personally. Do you want to stay where you are? You can always. You can always risk it bad. You move it hit, run away, see what happens. Yeah, but then I get an attack of opportunity, and, you know, she'll touch a button to touch your body. Are you going to stay away?
    I think I'm still out of. I'm still out of range. And so, so far, the statue hasn't moved to get in range of me. Yeah. There's no reasonable. You're still trying to close? I am quite close. I guess around here. I'll do this. But. Namdar. Shadow, you're up. Barlow, you're on the way back up a little more.
    Just because I can. And I'll shoot. Two strikes. Give me, Yeah, that'll hit 17 plus 14. 31. That. Did you? You don't have polymorph, right? Shadow. Yeah. No. Real quick. Hold on. Barlow, help me up. So this is the wording on these things. Always screws me up when it has, like, the, immunity damage, immunity from bludgeoning, piercing and slashing from non-magical attacks.
    That more adamantine. So if it's magic, though, it doesn't matter. Right? I going to be non-magical attacks, right. If it's at all effects and if it's a non hit okay. But if it's non-magical but adamantine then it works fine. Or if it's magical it's fine. Or if it's magical type that's cool or a normal scored. Yeah, yeah I kind of missed it where it was like, no, no, it has to be adamantine or silver or whatever, but yeah, they got rid of that once.
    Remember that? Silver weapons only. Yeah. Feel like instant shit like that. All right. So I'm sorry. What? What's the attack rolls? 31, 31 to hit and that to hit. Yeah. And then, lost count again. 25 piercing. Yeah. Okay. And then second strike is a Nat 20. All right. So, give me another 20 real quick to.
    To bad, I already use my swarm damage. Yes, I guess let me just double check to get nothing. Oh, good. That's good, that's good. Max, damage. On to my dice.
    Okay, so 16. 49 points of damage. Am.
    Nice. 20. Doubled plus nine. Points.
    So, just to give you guys heads up, since it's been going on for a little while now because you guys possessed the silver flame and that mark, that's what I've been having. You guys roll the d20. When when you guys crit, there's a chance for another bonus of some type. But it also means that also your negative your ones.
    And this is not on everyone's and 20, but the important ones and definitely combat ones. There is a thing with your ones where you get a what's called a magic number. That's why I had like, calliope roll. Right now I'm holding a four and calliope, and at any time I can have one of her rolls replaced with a rolls, whatever that number is.
    So in this case, I can have. Nice. That's nice. A little curse that also happens when you get a one has, hasn't really come up too much, but since at this point it's been coming up quite a bit, I want to let the players know what's been happening and what should have been told about this. Yes. So any more things?
    Are you still doing okay? Oh, fine. Are you still. Are you hearing the, wounded? Mostly. Pray right now, it's looks more like she's probably the most injured right now. Okay, I'll. I'm. But I'm not too bad. I'll send my, spectral owlbear over to sass for a bonus action. I want you guys to remember when you guys say you want that bad, and then when all of a sudden you guys get hit.
    We'll still blame it on. All right, all right, all right. All right. Don't forget to ask for of the ten temporary 22. Yeah. Barlow, you are a clever. You're on deck. All right. I am going to be moving to this door. I'm gonna start investigating for traps of locks. Sure. Got your user at the door. Oh, yeah.
    Go ahead. And you give me an investigation check. 1919.
    As you search the door, it doesn't look like it's got any traps. It does look locked.
    Okay. I've spent my next lunch in this room unlocking. In. That's it. Okay. Calliope, you're up.
    Okay.
    Since I no longer have concentration on that other guy. Is he's dead. I'm going to cast Cloud of Daggers. Right in the center of the statue. Okay. So he doesn't start taking damage until the beginning of his turn? Yeah, I'm going to cast it. I'm doing it in a little bit. Leveled up on one side.
    Come on.
    Oh, sorry.
    Oh.
    Come on. It was.
    It's not too bad, actually. Is you got three fours and then one one. Did this thing hit me at all? Oh, I see it. Oh, it's because it's a higher level. So, I don't think it's out of turn it. And it has. I had to turn it.
    I think I'll get faster and that's my turn. What level did you cast at that or. Oh, shit. You see it? Oh, wait. It takes its damage, though. Sorry. So it's, 2024 124. Yeah, it's not too bad as it starts kind of digging into the, stonework, chipping little chips. It's, it tries to kind of like, summon its energy to kind of pull up the of the lava so it can shoot it out.
    You guys, and it fails to recharge, and you guys are still too far away, and I can't do anything so passive.
    I want to make a mental note next time we make it so the the statues can move the knight. I mean, we're fine like this.
    He has perfect timing, by the way. He stepped away for a second. Oh, I thought I had come back. He did? He.
    I don't think he realized that he was my.
    He's probably going to cancel the rest of us again. Something super simple.
    Yeah, something that he can keep his distance and not burn all the spell points number. Oh, yeah. You guys are still just in the beginning of this thing. Dagger stays, right? I think it's hidden. Okay, okay. Just.
    Oh, I I'm gonna go. Sentry. Go. Yeah, that was it. You could think. I don't like to.
    You are the major.
    He's kind.
    Oh, he went to go get a drink and visit the Priv. Condit?
    Jimmy, did you say Sean went to get a drink now. Yes he did.
    By the time he comes back Sam's going to walk away again.
    Now we could skip them both. Yeah. Okay. Well we don't need them. Turn you into a T-Rex. You can smash it. We're not. We're.
    His best back. Yep, yep. Your tour. All right. That's five feet right there. Right? What? Statue or clippy things. It's on top of them. So if I move here. Oh, it's five feet. Yeah. Okay. I think it only hurts. The space. It's a, Yeah. Got it. Okay, then I'm going to do one roll. 19 and then to two strikes.
    14 doesn't hit. Oh. And 27.
    Is actually higher than the other guys. So what do we have here? 19 hits, 14 misses, 27 hits. Let's see, eight, 12. That's 30. Small review. Because by now I'm supposed to be laying in bed, so my body's used to coughing at this time of night. I don't think that's the way that works. It's, So let's see here.
    910, 11, 12. It's. And then the second hit that hit was 23.
    It's hurting pretty bad. You can see, like, lava. Kind of like dripping out of the cuts that have, like, cutting into it.
    Okay, then I. And my turn. You got it. So that's your up, up shadow. You're on day.
    Keep it with that chill touch. 21 to hit 11. Necrotic. Nice. Yeah. It's it's hurting. Anything else? No. Shadow, you are up, though. You're on deck. Rinse and repeat. Don't want it hurting that. All right, give me another surface. Nice. Give me another, another. Oh. So close. 19. This is with all the things 19. So, I need one more d20.
    Oh, here we go. Here it is. Three. Three. You get a plus four to your next roll. Oh, your next roll was a damage die. So.
    Okay.
    Wait. Brain work doesn't want to work in some more than bit more. The 2017 times two is 34. Yeah. He had 17 hit points. You crit I did crit nice. Her actual bonus I see flings off the arrows. I will even. You know what? I'm going to be nice. I'm going to let you save that one for your next roll.
    Oh, I didn't have you burning on the damage since you had more than enough damage. Okay, so the statue goes down.
    We are now at a combat.
    Is the rule of thumb for picking up arrows? 50% of all the arrows you find. Wasn't there a roll, though?
    So you can make it a roll if you want. Yeah.
    I know there's an actual rule.
    Is it, like, 50%? Unless you roll to get more? No, I think it's. You have to roll this. If you do get them.
    But right now, I'll just let you have 50%. Right now, I'm not going to worry about it. You don't get any of them. They all landed in the lava. You can get nothing. You. Oh, wait, didn't someone have mending? It's not what I did last time they mended all the broken ones. I think I but it's not.
    It's also the fact of being able to find them or. Yeah, in this case, some of them are going to be better than the lava. Yeah, I'll just take three back because I think I used 5 or 6. Thank you. Six. Well it's misguided. Yep. Yes. It's.
    I'm going to try and unlock this door. So I didn't find any traps. Can I, investigate the bodies? Certainly. Give me an investigation. Check.
    11. How are you guys? As strong as melee is? Just like picking out a lock in the middle of combat. Not realizing of what that might do to the middle of combat seven. So, in there, I'm going to open the door and we're going to come in and they're going to open the door for me. So I want to you through it first.
    Where's do three sixes? Said.
    Up the.
    What's back at everyone? You guys? Good luck. Is up that healing. Oh!
    You start kind of looking at it. Yeah. Is that owlbear still there? Oh, yeah. I'll let you guys figure that out. Yeah. He's been used twice. Where are they? Three more times. Where is he. Oh yeah he's on me. That's right. He's on you. So you're back in. Oh yeah. So you're the second one. So. Well, I never did.
    I never did the first was a d6. Well the first one was Barlow two. The second one. So do these things. Right. Right. But you put it on me and I never took a turn, so I didn't do right. Like I don't have to move off it first because I haven't. No, no, no, you don't have to move.
    You don't have to move off it. Yeah. All right. So d6. And. Just like how many times can I do this I need it. Are you looking pretty bad. Says, I mean I could use it three. You can do three more. Okay. Barlow, do you need any of these? I'm good. Okay. Do it.
    No.
    Thank you. It is done.
    You're checking the bodies? Each one of them seeing the, all the the living bodies, not the statue. They all had symmetry bars, longbows, arrows. So you be able to find, we'll say, 25 more arrows if you need. Oh, yeah. A couple quivers. I can only fit ten more, so I'll take ten.
    I'll take the rest. So 15 for Barlow, ten for, you find, a couple dried, rations made of looks like rat meat. Yep. Give me a nature. Let me nature. Where's nature? Don't we just leave all the meat? Don't we have, like, a of dragon meat? Yeah, we do. That's a dirty 20 for nature.
    You also find three electrum pieces here because it's you. You realize also that,
    As you're kind of going through them, you do realize, though, that, with your nature background that want be creatures, their blood can be used by some, dark magic and other casters. Same with the fact that it seems that they do have some venom as well. So I got vials of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can get up to five vials of blood from each creature or, I mean, and one vial of, venom from each creature.
    That's how much each one has up to who has. There's a DC, though, so. Right. Does someone have proficiency with the healers kit? Would they be you have proficiency to do that? No, this wouldn't be. There was something there was a tools for the extraction stuff. I don't know if a healer would,
    Yeah.
    We're going to see, I also let you know that the, the wonky blood is not a really a lot of money. Like, you can know your only income if you want to sell it. You'd be able to get, like, two gold pieces for each vial, whereas the, the venom is actually worth. You could probably get around 50 gold pieces, a vial.
    Oh, there you go. That's a healing potion. These vials. Yes. They can also be turned into a, pretty good poison. That's why.
    This is a pretty good poison. Was the poison to. All right, I just vials. I got a whole bunch of them start clanking around in the back, which makes me think I got ten empty vials.
    What's the skill to be able to do that? So you're going to get the venom? It's going to be a, nature check. The DC 15 for each one. Hold on. Your monkey venom sacs. The nature of what, 15 for? Yeah, 15. If someone's helping me, is that with advantage or. Exactly with advantage? That's what.
    Shit. I'll help you since I have some resistance. The poison can't. The same thing. Yeah. The point thing from my name all these striker one.
    Woo 15. Yeah. And actually you can add that one. You would add the one D4 to it. Anyways. That's 19. So it's you. So you have one vial of one tea venom worth 50 gold pieces. I will even give you this. I'll often kind of get a pretty decent nature roll to begin with, so you can know a little bit more about it.
    Okay.
    Batman. It does say vermin, I'll put it in the bag holding. Oh yeah. It does have the good point. It's good for 14 days. So if it's in the bag of holding you're fine. And it weighs. Well I tried the other one. It weighs. How much? 1 pound. It's heavy vials. Just think. Let me think.
    This is. And that's going to be kind of burned off and extracted. I'm gonna go for another one. There's what? Yeah. Three of them in here. Yeah. Get three of them in here. You would have four, but somebody inside. Throw that one in the lava soup lava. All right, I don't know. They're a good branding. 18.
    Yeah. They get you get two venom to get two vials. Yeah. Try one more, one more. 16. You got it. That's three. Is that all we had? I think that's all they want is. Yeah. Did you want to give the blood to. I don't want to waste my vials of blood. It's worth. I think the vials come with a couple silver each.
    Those like that, we can go for it. Yeah. I mean, I mean, unless you want it, but I don't not don't need it. Yeah.
    I mean, one tea venom. Just, So as you guys are in this room, and with all the time that's kind of taking place, and, I'll give you a little bit longer because there's been searches and everything else. But we'll say you still have, time on your stone skin. So in this room here, just pretty much like, as you've seen already, there are the four doorways in here.
    The one you came through, the one that Barlow is picking at. And then there's two other ones.
    Yeah, I'll go back to the ones because I know it's not throughout. So, Charm unlocked. Did you get them? Did you do a lock pick roll or not yet? I do not do a lockpick role. I just did the investigation. 19. Yeah. So I was pick it open. Hopefully I can lock it. Oh 15 yeah, that's going to be enough.
    All right. This time I will. Only open the door lines. It can as you open the door. You see in there creatures, they're alert. They heard noises so they will open. Is you ready? But not it? Holding actions like the first room or this last room. What? I'll see anybody in there. Oh, nobody's in here. You know, I sorry.
    Let me fix that for you.
    There you go. Oh, shit. They're on the wrong player. Up. In that key, I'd. They hear you opening the door, they see you. It is how? Hear you.
    There we go. That's one.
    This point. Buckets. Keep all the doors open to get everyone in one room.
    So, how are you feeling, Sean? I'm okay. Why? Okay, well, just because it's already. Oh, it's already 1130. And if it's going to be another long, like, hour long fight. Yeah. I wonder you can leave it there. That's fine. You guys are about to enter another combat. Okay. Yeah, I think it's a good stopping point. And you can go call for real?
    Yeah, yeah.
    Well, it was good to to play again. Yeah. It's to get something again and.

    I really do try to make most of this original, but since Forgotten Realms is an integral part of the world I can't help if anything is used without formal permission, but is still "fair use" as I am just using this for my private games.
