  Rakshasa Manor   Recap
The party sought a time **Dragon** egg to find the cats of **Uthar**, which led them to a mansion where they killed a **Red Abishai**. The mansion's strange magic led them through shifting hallways, where they encountered a succubus and a **Tiefling** alchemist working on dragon-related potions. **Bastion** disappeared, and the party eventually met a **Rakshasa** named **Vashkar**, who revealed he had orchestrated the theft of the egg to protect it from the devil's revenge. He instructed the party to close a **Portal to Avernus** in the mansion's basement by destroying two red **Crystal** orbs. Battling Orthons, Spine Devils, and other demons and devils in the sweltering heat, the party discovered the orbs were immune to fire but vulnerable to ice. They fought against a constant influx of creatures, including a **Hezrou** and **White Abishai**, and managed to significantly damage one orb, but the battle continued with an **Orthon** escaping and the party still fighting to destroy the portal's power source.  
 
 
   

Summary

The Wild Cards found themselves trapped in a basement containing a Portal to Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells, as waves of demons and devils poured through the crimson gateway. The air was thick with sulfur and the stench of burnt flesh as the party fought desperately to close the portal by destroying the red crystalline structures that sustained it. Bastion and Shadow had been focusing their attacks on these mystical orbs while the rest of the party held off the Infernal invasion.   The battle intensified dramatically when a massive Goristro, a twenty-foot-tall Demon with skin like dried blood and horns thick as ancient tree trunks, burst through the portal. The behemoth's charge killed most of the smaller demons and devils that had just emerged, including Imps, Spine Devils, and bBarbed Devils, while knocking Sas W.T. Rayce back ten feet and causing debris to rain down from the damaged ceiling. The Goristro spoke in Abyssal, saying "Cathroco star" as it locked eyes with the party, clearly recognizing them as significant threats.   Bastion unleashed a devastating Steel Wind Strike, targeting the Crystal orb and multiple enemies with his flourishing blade technique. His magical assault dealt massive damage to the protective Crystal shell, revealing that it contained an orb similar to those the party had previously collected. The attack also severely wounded a White Abishai and decapitated one of the hellish Abyssal Chicken creatures that had emerged from the portal. Meanwhile, Shadow cast a Wind Wall directly in front of the portal, creating a barrier of strong wind that prevented more creatures from coming through while killing the wounded Abishai with bludgeoning force.   The party engaged the Goristro in brutal melee combat, with Barlo activating his rage and claws to deal devastating acid and slashing damage to the massive demon. Calliope, transformed into a giant ape through Polymorph magic, traded powerful blows with the creature while Sas used her Druidic spores and Primal Savagery to wear it down. The Goristro retaliated with bone-crushing fist attacks and kicks, dealing significant damage to multiple party members and even knocking Calliope Prone with its immense strength.   As the battle raged, Bastion successfully destroyed the first red Crystal completely, exposing the orb within and causing the portal to partially close. The flames on one side of the gateway began to extinguish, though the remaining Crystal continued to pulse with dangerous energy. Shadow maintained her concentration on the Wind Wall while peppering the Goristro with arrows, landing a critical hit that dealt substantial damage to the massive demon.   The final assault saw coordinated attacks from the entire party as they focused their remaining strength on both the Goristro and the second Crystal. Bastion moved to flank the demon and delivered the killing blow with his rapier, causing the massive creature to collapse. Calliope then stomped on the remaining Crystal as a giant ape, rolling a natural twenty and triggering Silver Flame healing that she shared with the wounded Barlo. Shadow followed up with her own critical hit using her bow, dealing devastating damage to the crystalline structure.   Barlo delivered the final strikes to the Crystal with his claws, achieving a rare double critical hit that completely shattered the remaining protective shell. As the last pieces of red Crystal fell away, the pulsating energy stopped entirely, and the Portal to Avernus closed permanently. The party had successfully prevented whatever catastrophic event the crystals had been building toward, though they could only guess at what disaster they had averted.   In the aftermath, the party collected valuable treasure from the battlefield, including two thousand Gold pieces, Platinum, diamonds, and magical items left behind by the defeated Fiends. Sas gathered the two intact orbs from the destroyed crystals, adding them to her growing collection of these mysterious artifacts. The Demons and Devils dissolved into ash and foul ichor as their material forms were destroyed, leaving only the corpses of the Abyssal chickens from which the party collected feathers as trophies.   The Rakshasa who had made the deal with the party spoke to them telepathically, confirming that their agreement had been fulfilled and offering to transport them to their next destination. He warned them of an injured Orthon seeking revenge and other Devils who might become aware of their presence, suggesting they leave quickly. The party decided to travel to the Trap Street where the cats of Othog awaited the return of the time Dragon egg they had retrieved.   A portal opened in the center of the room, and the party leaped through to emerge in the mystical Trap Street near Clara's office. Clara, the spokesperson for the cats, greeted them and confirmed they had successfully obtained the egg. Cats of various breeds emerged from hiding places throughout the street, though Shadow and Barlo noticed initial disdain from the felines, particularly toward the Tabaxi and Drow members of the party. The cats' expressions shifted to begrudging acceptance as they began leading the group away from Clara.   The party followed the cats down an alleyway that gradually transformed into an otherworldly foggy realm where walls disappeared and thick, textured fog limited visibility to fifteen feet. The fog produced shifting, impossible-to-identify scents that changed based on each person's perception - catnip and bourbon for the Tabaxi, flowers and candies for Calliope. As they traveled deeper into this mystical domain, Calliope attempted to sense her companion Artie but could only catch a brief glimpse of his face in the swirling clouds before it vanished. The session ended with the cats leading them further into the unknown, their destination and purpose still shrouded in mystery.

    Notes

    Transcripts  
    I think we're all here.
    So.
    Soda. So you guys are all right? I think I'll let you guys there. Yeah. Okay. So.
    It's been a little while. It's been a while. The Wild Cards have explored much in the months that they have traveled. It has taken years across the world. And the material Plants. You've been to the fair while the planet mirrors the edge of the Plane of Dreams. Even to other worlds. The material on the Material Plane, such as ever on you, even traveled in time as you've been to to real during a very different time.
    You now find yourselves in a basement, one that has a portal to the first layer of the Nine Hells of Venice. You have been engaged for the past few minutes. It might seem like weeks, but these moments have, only been a few moments, as you have been fighting waves of various demons and devils that have been finding their way through this portal, including hellish poetry.
    You have found yourselves here due to a very long chain of events. In your current situation, you are haunted by Vecna, a powerful Lich God seeks to return using the orb and the book for which sass is holding to find a way to combat him. You first experienced explored an Ancient One temple to retrieve special herbs for a Potion that would protect your rest.
    Then you sought out the cats of all thar ancient and mystical felines for whom a mysterious Wizard from another world, that being, Oh, shit. I don't know. Starts with an em. Anyways, Metal slash grog? Nah, no, the other one, the, Oh. The one from Toriel. Okay. Gordon Cannon. There you go. I put that in my actual notes here.
    So you suggested that one of the suggestions he'd given was these cats. You guys found these cat? Well, you guys spoke to their spokesperson, the mayor, on their mysterious trap street. She had told you that they needed the return of a special MacGuffin. The egg of a time Dragon who was being held by a red abishai.
    The red abassi seemed to be part of a haunted and devilish residence where a Rakshasa you later on found out was using various devils to manipulate a nearby the nearby mortals. That Rakshasa claimed he wanted the part, wanted the party to take out the Abishai, and to get rid of the egg for his own purposes. He also made a deal with you that he would let you leave.
    If you happen to close the Gate that's in his basement, telling you that this would also Work to your benefit. Since the Abishai is now being Reborn in the hells, and he will probably want to seek out revenge before he does anything else. And this would possibly stave him off a bit. To close the portal. You need to.
    You were told you need to destroy one of these red gems that are keeping it open. So on either side, there was red gems. Shadow and bastion were attacking them separately, while the rest of the party was mostly handling a lot of the, the waves of various, creatures coming through. Because originally there was a couple, devils and a couple orphans that were protecting it.
    One of those orphans. Not our thoughts. I'm sorry. These are.
    Yeah. Orphans. One of the orphans, disappeared. And you're pretty sure he went out the door. So you don't know where he went?
    Let's see. Here at Barlow, you ended up getting some extra health damage, or. I'm sorry. Health, permanent health bonus. And, as of this moment, we are on a, rudder. Kins. Turn and the middle of combat.
    So, just to make things interesting, the next stage will happen. So currently in the air, it's thick, it's acrid. Everyone's nostrils are stinging. There's a stench of the sulfur. A maybe possibly burnt flesh. Rusted Iron. And the sensor are on the edge of the room. You see, the gateway to a furnace is still churning this perfect circle, rolling crimson energy pulsing, and unbearable Infernal heat.
    You guys are still doing okay. As far as your constitution on that, I'm not going to make you guys have to save every single time. You guys were able to withstand the heat at this point, so you guys are okay. But you do see how these Tongues of pure flame are framing at the edge of this, portal, rotating around, as of this turn, you do start seeing a couple various little imps coming through.
    See, like, 1 or 2 kind of come through. Then you see, what looks like, these imps no longer than grotesque toddlers shrieking like torture birds. They're Bat like wings buzzing frantically. They claw their way through. Behind them you see a couple spined devils that also start kind of finding their way through these black Obsidian spines bristling from their black backs.
    You see, all of a sudden a barbed devil kind of comes through. You guys are starting to kind of in this moment, feeling like it's getting a little bit out of hand.
    You see, a smaller chain devil come through as well.
    Guys, this is getting a little out of hand.
    It's, sprawling, harsh clangs of its Living clanking chains as it comes through, as they're fighting, as they start coming through, though, you start seeing like the demons fighting the devils. The devils are fighting the demons. Then some of them haven't even really paid attention to you guys yet. At that moment, you do see this a large, kind of, like, bird winged bird kind of flying in.
    It's a very, disgusting, bird like demon has a drooling beak. All of a sudden, as a you see, in its, beaks is a kind of a shadow demon. And at that moment, you see it tear the head off of it. The triumphant screech, which kind of, prompts this, other Weird kind of like pig, like, demon to to kind of run in, these large tusk of Ivory daggers.
    This is what they call enough now for shiny and, it barrels in, like, everything are just coming through. And then you guys hear, like, a tremor as, one more thing just runs through the the, portal.
    This large creature, just. Hey, I know that guy. He was in spawn. A tremor unlike any other rattles the very ground beneath your feet. A deep, resonant form speaks of immense approaching power. The a chaotic brawl that's near this, portal is more is not just obscured in the hellscape beyond, but it's Seeming to kind of almost make the room a little bit darker in that moments, Thunder's ground shaking roar vibrates, and this is a gory throw.
    It burst forth its behemoth behemoth of muscle and fury. Easily 20ft tall. You can see has runs in it's scraping at the ceiling of this, basement. Obviously, this basement was made for the portal, so it's not like a normal basement. But still. It's skin is the color of dried blood. Old bruises. It's stretched over its corded muscle.
    You see these of these, thick veins pulsing with Infernal energy, these massive, curly horns, thick as, like, ancient tree trunks, on its head. You can just see that this thing is battle stained. As it does run in, I should say. So let's make this a little bit easier. See what's going on here. As I will put some of these to the back.
    But you're saying there's a row of Rock and some spine. I'm all in one room. Kind of well done. You see them all running in, attacking? As that gory stroke comes through, though, you see, he pretty much kills most of those creatures that just came through. He also is going to Knock SAS over ten feet.
    Root the path room. You will take three points of, damage. Arlo, you're going to move over a bit as he kind of charged through from now, or just. I just moved you over. Okay, well, you said knocked over, so I wasn't sure. Oh, you're not Prone. I just kind of knocks you back. Barley, you got knocked out of the way as well, taking two points of damage.
    Most of those new creatures that came in here, though, are Dead. From the charge alone from this thing. He even, attacks the little,
    You. It's the layer. The pillar that was there is now knocked out. You see, like bits of the roof starting to kind of break apart.
    Everybody give me a, a Dex save.
    Well.
    Earlier that one. Oh. Oh, which gives me a total of two. It was an at one. Get them all out now. Right. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to have advantage. I would be, chuckle you would have seen that falling down, wouldn't you? Get your advantage on that?
    I think that's how your thing works. Sorry. Yes it was. Let's see it. I can get advantage on it. I you bring it back up again. Hello. Dexterity. Normal. No.
    Well, not much better. It's a little better. It's. It's a very low DC. There's just a few pieces of debris that kind of come down. What do we have? One, two, three, 4 or 5. All right, so you're gonna take four points of damage as, a, a part of the plaster comes down and hits like a first, like you hit so your shell.
    But then you see another piece kind of hits you on the arm that takes, gives you a little bit of damage. So you take four points of. Oh, Pierce. Then we bludgeoning damage with. So pretty much now that whole area now is just covered with various demons and, devils that are all not alive anymore.
    Let me go ahead. Put this guy down so I don't get confused here. Actually, most of those chickens would probably also die from the, charge that were in the way. That whole area now is going to be pretty much considered, difficult terrain, for sure. You're also not sure as you kind of look around that mess there, which ones might be almost Dead or totally Dead?
    Actually, this guy would probably die to use. Mostly Dead. Yeah. Mostly Dead. Just mostly Dead. Which can become very problematic if you're afraid you might get hit again. So just something to be aware of. That big old tangled mess there. The gory strokes. I moved a little too far away at that time. He snorts. At this point, he does start noticing you guys with a cloud of foul sulfur, steam billowing coming from its flared, fleshy nostrils.
    It's immense barrel like chest heaves once, twice, and then you hear a voice like writhing tectonic plates and splintering granite and rumbles from its throat, guttural or roar that seems to be to consume the very air it looks at. You costar and says he is now out of the fray. With that said, the the only other reminder is, Barlow, you're at HP.
    You can see where you are at that, Calliope, you are still a great a at this point. Also, just to remind you guys, Bastion and Shadow started to, instead of attacking both orbs, started putting all their focus on this orb over here, which was the one right next to you. This is the one you guys were now focused on.
    That one looks like as you can look at it now, actually, since you're right there and this moment here, bastion, give me a perception check.
    So in this moment here, what you do notice as the, Boris rose Rat, kind of did his charge into here at that moment, the shaking of the area kind of moved some of the red Crystal structure that you guys had been piercing. And then at this point, you notice that it's more of like a protective shell inside of that shell that looks like very similar to the orbs that you guys have been finding, such as the one that sass has contained.
    It has holding. It looks very similar, like it's being, encased by this red Crystal structure. And that's when an orb. You guys are aware there's many. Well, you guys already have two different orbs like this. You guys have found the broken one of on, which was? That's the one you guys had fixed when you guys went to Ember on.
    And that's when you guys got your marks. And you had helped the, Warforged find his way into your role. So with that bastion, it is now on you. Whoops. That it's my turn. Okay. There's a bunch of things in here.
    I want to know what happens if I cast at a higher level. It doesn't make a difference. It doesn't. Okay, so I'm going to cast. Where are you? Still on Shrek. Okay, so. So the first thing I'm going to target is going to be, this sphere. Okay. Then I'm going to go to all of these little tiny dudes.
    So what is that? One, two, three, 4 or 5? I will say that you I'm willing to give to let you know those are just like little Chicken dudes. And in fact, okay, these ones over here would probably be Dead. Anyways, from the charge there, they would have gotten trampled on. Okay, I just thought I'd say to you, you don't need to worry too much about those, okay.
    All right. Then I will go. 1 or 1 to the guy right next to the orb. Three. The big dude for that big dude's Dead. But there is this guy right here. That's right. I mean, this guy's Dead. No, let me get this guy out of here. It's like a hair. I was trying to just the the tusks, dude, right.
    The tusk dude is Dead. This guy right here behind everyone. Yeah, he jumped in. But then the, chorister killed him. Okay, there we go. All right, let me. But there is this guy here that was already there. The white abishai is there. Okay, so the orb, this guy, this guy, then this guy, and then I'll Teleport right back towards the orb.
    You got it. Is that everyone else? Is that everyone in the room? I believe it is. Let's see here. There's so many freaking guys in the middle. I wanted to make it really feel like you guys are just like that. That started. Yeah. I mean, it's an open portal. It's an open portal to hell, where most of the time, those, the orphans would usually kind of help you.
    Nobody even notice it's there. You kind of get the feeling maybe there was some type of, like, magic to hide it, but with the, orphans and the everything kind of having to deal with you, whatever was hiding it is no longer in effect. So that said. So how does this Work? That again? You do an it's kind of remember it, it.
    See you for sure. Weapon. Choose up to five creatures. You can see, make a melee spell attack against each target. Okay. So it's a target against. So 15. The, Crystal. That should hit it, right? I believe so. These feathers. Look here. All right, then I'll just go from left. From right to left, then. So this is for this guy.
    26. This is for this guy.
    Yeah. It's easy. 30. 21. This is for this guy.
    Oh. One out. And then I guess I'll, I'll come back to this guy, this little Chicken that's on the floor. You guys, that's not Dead. So one, 234, five and then I'll. And then I'll Teleport right back to where I'm at. No worries. So the first thing would be the orb.
    Okay. So 24.
    The second thing would be this guy here. The chain devil. AC, that's going to break it. Set. Break the orb. No no no no no.
    You guys have it like you could see that it's chipped pretty bad. I mean, if you were to kind of estimate you've damaged it more than 50%, it looks like,
    Oh 56 damage on that. Holy crap.
    Yep. 6010 was a really high roll. I know it's all nine, nine, nine, 910 nine. Oh my God. Jeez. Yeah, almost maxed out on that one. The red, the white abishai. Yep. That's going to break its, AC.
    So it's one, two three sets -37 as you cut across. Oops. That's not what I want to do.
    As you cut across that white abishai, you can see you you've, caused some serious Harm to it. It does. It's it's looking bad. But I don't think you're able to cut through the side of the new player on the field. I'll go restructure his AC bin. Yeah, he's got a you can see he's actually got a very thick hide.
    So that's not going to do anything to him. But as you come back, where was that other Chicken. Is it this guy right here? You are able to decapitate that little hellish, Weird Chicken looking creature. I decapitated the Chicken guys and you are back on your thing Chuckling oh I think you probably had that spell description thing.
    That's what to that okay. Anything else there. Bastion.
    Yeah that was my finger trying to bring up that my character
    Yeah. Since I have the extra bonus I know you're up on that. I'm going to Hex. Can I, or, let me see what it says.
    You place. Oh, on a creature now. Okay, so I'll Hex this guy. That's right next to the orb. You got it. And then I'll end my turn. All right, shadow, you are up. Okay, I'm gonna move over because I can't. Yeah.
    All right, I would like to, because there's still a whole bunch of things coming through. There's still stuff right in front of the portal, right as of right. Oh, yeah. You do see on the other side that you see various demons and devil still fighting, some of them looking to find a way of getting through. The gory straw has scaring off a lot of the,
    Well, let's see here. What is he? He is a I believe he's a demon. So you see more of the devil creatures kind of being a little bit afraid of him, and they kind of sticking to the creatures are fighting on the other side right now, okay? Because it's such a cluster. But, I would like to. Is this right in front of the portal?
    Like, right. Right, right in front of the portal. What? This line. What is that drawing? Yeah, that would be rendering the portal. Yeah. Okay. But so five, ten, 15, 20ft, making sure that I'm not hitting any of my party members. I'm going to cast Wind Wall. Okay.
    And here's some spells. So small creatures, flying creatures can't go through. Hopefully trying to get. Stop anybody else from coming through. All right. So you're just trying to. Yeah. You're trying to create a Wind Wall to block anything else from coming through at this point? Yes. And then when the wall appears, each creature within the area must make a strength saving throw.
    They take 3D eight bludgeoning on a failed or half as much on a success. So one minute concentration. Yeah. Two, which is within its area is that just means that side that's facing you. It's just a wind. Like when going up, it's not like a firewall where the it's not a firewall where the fire is on one side.
    It's just wind, like a wall, literally just a wall of wind, like a fart. So yeah. Yeah. If you go in, if you pass through the wind, they'll get hit. But it's not one side safe, one side not, I know, trying to figure out the part though. It says when it appears that are within. Okay. So whatever's on it right there.
    So I guess those two creatures right there, they probably be right about where that's, Does they be just inside of the portal? So I will go ahead and let it affect them. So I guess there's a save they have to do, but it's three.
    Okay. So with their sheets, was.
    And that is 17 points of bludgeoning damage. I guess that first creature would have been hurt pretty bad, too. I notice I hit the wrong key. I'm trying to do a subtraction sign. So the chain doubled.
    Does, advantage. I'll come back for you. It's what a deck say. Or strikes.
    Yeah. 17 cards. Well, that's pretty low scores, though. And.
    They fail at 17 points of damage. And if they pass, then it is eight. All right, so he fails.
    He's hurting really bad. The other guy, I think he's also got eight vantage.
    Yeah. Who's got a pretty good bonus? The one two strength. Not enough? Nope. Both really were low rolls. How much was it? If he fails? 17. Yeah, that's enough to kill the white abishai. But. Right. This wall of wind comes up. You see, it starts, rustling with those two. They are just on this side of the,
    I know it's kind of confusing with the way that this perspective is, but we'll say that they're just on this side of the of the, where the. I will put the line. More like that. Be a little bit more representative where it would be, but you do see that the first guy is hurting really bad. The second guy ends up taking so much damage as the wind starts piercing through.
    He is Dead. So it doesn't say anything about any creature passing through at this point will take damage, but small creatures or small flying creatures cannot pass through, right? So hopefully we won't get any more of those little chickens.
    All right. Anything else you got shut off? No, I just moved back over. You got a yawn in the first, move, Okay. Sorry. I need to find something to eat. I don't know why I have this fine devil outside of the map. I don't remember what was happening with him. You might have moved him because he's Dead set points.
    That's. It's Weird, but we'll just go ahead and just put him down with that. I've got enough to do with the gory strike.
    The Dead of thinking of which, actually, I need to put him on the, initiative order.
    Yeah, it's in the fridge.
    I'm sure that.
    Right. You're the devil. You are Dead, Barlow. You are up. It's down and says you are on deck. Quick thing. You said I got the, crit last week and got the health bonuses that already been added. Yes, I've already put it on your sheet. Yeah. Okay, so that was a increase. And am I currently in rage?
    I believe you are. Okay. The log case I will will cost you the it. Well I will say it. Just let you guys know the Gore restore would have actually done a lot more damage. But because I kind of had it all for effect and him kind of splitting like pretty much just just decimating all the other creatures that I just want you guys a known case.
    If he does a charge and he, you got like, wow, that's a lot of damage. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. Okay. So, raging, I will move in front of the jury throw. I will put myself right. There. Oh, you can do the. Okay. Yeah, I've already raging. So let's go into. I don't think I put your Shield down.
    I'm thinking about it now. In my hands. Then I am raging with claws out. Right. I believe so, yeah. Okay, good. Then let's bring out my character sheet. All right. Kirk, she's not coming up off the roll for this for me. Then I'm going to go, reckless with, the two claw swipes in a second. Here.
    Character.
    It's like I'm in the middle of a Fairy right now. Some other little Spider connection. I think they'd like to just be called homosexual these days. You guys are so funny. Reckless, right? You so. Advantage. Yeah. Advantage on the claw attacks. So 27. Believe it might hit. I sure as heck hope so. Do you want me to do the dent?
    What do you want me to do? The hit go and do damage. Okay. And that is just my regular claw. I just hit the marriage core damage.
    It's kind of a rage claw. No, no, I have on my fight. On my sheet, you'll see regular claws and, oh, claws where we could. Yeah, yeah, they get a little more, like a little more oomph to them when they hit. Oh, with the damage where they attack them, they put both.
    We'll still still 11. The other more damage. Yeah, they get that extra. Anyway, and those two hit. Yeah. I will use my third, free swipe with the other two. One more rage claw attack is my little freebie for swinging with my cloud one more time. 23. I believe the hits they get just like the base. Yeah, it's kind of high, but doesn't get 23.
    All right, so what's the damage we're looking at here? Oh, yeah. 18, 21, 38. 48 and 755. Which is the damage immunities. It's acid damage. And, slashing. Yeah. Not even Resistance attack to any of that. All right. What was the damage? I'm sorry. Chip 55, I think I said we'll do the quick count again. 28, 48, 48 and seven.
    Oh, sorry. 55. Yeah, that's what I said. That's just seven. All right. As you swing upon him, breaking through its thick hide, you could see a run and then, just kind of. It's now like, locked eyes on you. Anything else? Bonus action. Activate the flying Shield. So I actually have both hands free isn't your second word is on your side of your your swipe the bonus action or.
    No, no, it's not a bonus action. As long as I attack with my claws at least once. Okay. I just going to. I'm just going to free sweet free swipe because I guess I don't know how they, you know, flavor it, but I think it's just because I'm swiping so fast, I get, like an extra clock. No.
    And then the other one's just because you're you get your extra time. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I get to get some of that. No worries. Alexa, that looks it looks like you to let off.
    Alexa, kitchen Light off.
    Oh. Yes. You are up with the go restore on deck. All right, down to the corner. Well, I was wondering if if we can consider this flanking because he even specifically said that he's, like, turned on below. So that would put me pretty much at his back. I'll give it to you. That's fine. It's I not close, but especially when I'm like, when I heard you say that specifically, I was like, oh, that's Work in my favor.
    I'm fine with it right now. It's, I'm not gonna get too much, on that, so I'm. I'm doing real dice when I roll with advantage. Do I do both the attack and the damage with advantage or just one of them? Just the attack. Okay.
    All right. Up pretty high. So I rolled the 17. Attack is plus 12, and you're attacking. Oh, no. Sorry. Slightly. So you're fine. So. Yeah. That's good. That's what. Yeah. 22. Attack me. Bludgeoning eight. Bludgeoning. You also get because you're using your staff for your club. You should have more than that. Even using it with the Shillelagh.
    Yet. You get it, don't you still get the weapon, the regular weapon damage? Or is is just an. I'm going to click it just to see.
    What you doing? Oh, plus two poison.
    Queen, don't worry about the poison. It's actually immune to poison. But that's from your club. Because your clubs magic. So it's got the. And it also crits on a 19 or 20. You didn't roll in 19, right? No. The 17. If you roll a 19 or 20, it's a 19 crits. Just as if you had rolled a 20.
    That was your additional bonus that you had on there. Right. Right. So yeah, it's a one d12. Okay. Plus one, I think you're the Shillelagh just upped the damage of it. That's why. Did you roll actual damage, or do you just want to use what's on the computer? I rolled it, and now I can't remember what I rolled, so let's use the computer.
    Okay. It's. I was like, crap. I move the dice. What did I roll? I don't remember.
    Yeah, that's I think it's a 12. I'm going to go ahead and give you the okay, which was a little bit more All right. Anything else? That's all righty. Got a wrist roll. Looks at you, too. Not so worried about what's suggested to it, but it did take quite a bit of damage from Barlow.
    Sean, can you see me on the turn order? Oh, shoot. It's because I took your token off when I was cleaning up the board. Because you were the Great eight. Give me a second here, I better I can figure out where you were on it. I was like, how am I not coming up yet?
    It's my bad. No worries. I think she was right after me. So I can go when it doesn't. I don't remember what might be in the. You were a 19.
    So let's go ahead and we'll just put as the great ape.
    How do you remember her back? I did it, I just looked at the video from us at the time. No, Sam, you said you were. I was right after you.
    I'm just asking. How do you remember the order that far back? What? On? I know I didn't hear that, so I assume they didn't hear that. You know, you.
    I was on mute.
    She was curious on how you were able to remember that. So what's the answer to the question? I know, and remember?
    Oh, so what we will do is I will go ahead and let the giant eight. Go ahead. Go now. Right before the, our quarry struck us. Okay, if I step forward. Yeah, we'll go ahead and put this front wing. Let me pull up. I think I have it right. We have a little kaiju action going on here, and, you know, I just learned what a kaiju was like a month ago.
    I'm very excited. If I go for a fist attack on this guy, am I going to hit Barlow at all? Because he lower? Is he low enough on my fist that I would that I would, like, go over him? I think so, I don't know, I mean, if you're just hitting him, you. Unless there's something that says that, hey, if you're just doing a fist attack, you're fine.
    Okay. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to hit bro. I know that he was, not low. Or maybe he was low. I can't remember if we have him, but. Okay, so I'm going to stomp on all these Dead guys and come over and give him a fist attack. So, yeah, you'd have to move one more over, one more over.
    Okay, but you have enough. I'll just. I'll pretend that I was like, right. Yeah. Like, I'm just, like, straddling. Well, I mean, you're pretty big in this in that, like, we're looking at a 15 by 15 space and you're just kind of, you're hulking in it. But I mean, yeah, but it's more upper than lower, so there's plenty of room down there for Barlow.
    Okay, so I'm mineral 20. Well that sucked okay. But but still, maybe I should make it so you what is that, a 13? Because I hit. Oh, with the bonus. 13 is not going to hit the gory stroke. Dang. Okay, I get to fist attack, so I'll try again. I'll swing with the other arm. Okay, well, 2021.
    Yeah, that will hit though. Okay, so he's going to take three d10 six. Nope. Not 60 1030. So 19 plus 625. That's not too bad.
    So anything else? And then just for flavor, I'm going to yell at him. You're some big, some spit coming out as you do yell at him. He does look up at you. He's kind of sizes you up, but then. Then he also kind of looks at where do you hit him? And he doesn't feel as threatened by you at this moment as much as the little kitty cat who struck at him three times and made contact each time cutting through his flesh.
    So that's he's still going to go after Barlow on this front. Is he a disadvantage if I'm hovering over Barlow? No, actually, he has an advantage right now and hitting Barlow as well, because, Barlow hit him with, reckless. Yeah, he's mad at me, actually. He could do well. And I'm going to hit him with my spores.
    I can, I can Barlow hide behind my like, not in this. Now, at this moment. It's not his turn. Could I have could I have my Lincoln? I'm not. Fortunately. I mean, a movement. Unfortunately, there's really no rules for that. Seven necrotic about my latency is really high. Sorry about it. I'm in the double digits. What was it?
    How much damage there? Six. Seven necrotic from the spores. So we'll just see what kind of damage that is. Necrotic. Okay. Necrotic. So my brain's on three different things right now. So. Yeah. You see these, these little squares are kind of taking hold in kind of, these little, like, this little black smoke that kind of, like, pierces into it as they do so.
    But I think there's two things I could do. I will do that next time. I'm going to go ahead and have them do it in the moth. That's, Okay. And maybe he will actually do a little bit against, so first, first.
    So 27, Barlow.
    27 to hit. Will hit. Yes. And the other one will hit two, then. Oh.
    You know, they're everywhere.
    I'm just going to do this. It starts by game. Oh. Oh. Install it.
    Just for the damage sake, I'm gonna just do this. I can't find. Might as well. So the first one hits you for 21. Bludgeoning damage as the fist knocks into Barlow. He then comes around with the other one and hits you for 15 points of bludgeoning damage. At that point, his, you see him kick up one of its herbs and it's going to strike out at the great ape with that, like so 15 and so a total of 36 or 36.
    So, 18. Okay. As it kicks its foot into the great eight, is a 20 going to hit you?
    Yeah. You have an Armor class of 12.
    So, Calliope, you're going to take 17 points of damage as it kicks at you. He's. It does say this can Knock it down. You are the same size as him. So you're not bigger than him. So then what I need is I need you to do a strength saving throw.
    Oh. I'm sorry. It's 30 points of damage to his. It was a 17 for the. It was giving me a different attack them, that's why. So you take 30 points of bludgeoning damage and a strength saving throw is okay. But it's with, the apes stats. That's okay. How do I do that? Just go ahead and just roll a d20 and add six, because he's got a strength of six.
    So that would be, 19. He's actually got a really high DC though on that. So you are actually not Prone. So as he kicks over at you, he kind of kicks you right in the, right near the knee. So you kind of stumble and you're, you're knocked down. You see him kind of laugh. They snorts out and you see like a little bit of flames kind of come out of its nostril as it does.
    So, and that will be its turn.
    At this point here, I have something. Oh. So at this point would be normally where you would see more creatures trying to come through. You do see some trying to make their way through, but that wall is holding up, so it's keeping them at bay. So good job shadow. Well let's go ahead and take the.
    The Abyssal check and just kind of run. He's not going to care. The Hawthorn is off the playing field. Bastion, you were up. Giant ape on deck.
    Is this guy Dead right here? No, he is not Dead. He's also not on the water for some reason.
    So I'm. Move up right there. I will. That. Let's see. I'll put him before the glory, strife. More likely, you guys are going to kill him anyways. But. All right, I'm going to steal one strike one more time. Oh, wait. Upon. What the hell? You could have also maybe also hit the other orb. I guess.
    Oh, yeah. It smells like I swore I could have swore I had one level six spell slot left. Try and remember what you cast left. Well, there was. This is your like. You guys fought in the courtyard against the Red Abishai. And then you guys fought you guys a been in this fight for two games practically. Okay. So I don't remember.
    All right. Then I'm going to just, attack this with my rapier. 14. Hit it. I believe it does. I'm gonna just double check my numbers there. Yeah.
    And then I will try to strike this S.O.B. twice.
    So that's all on the orb? Yeah. So, yeah.
    What's that? All right.
    Let's just doing math. Give me a second here.
    And not too shabby.
    As you. I have 47. Yeah, as there's three strikes goes across it. Your magical blade starts, like chipping at this red, crystalline structure that's stealing, that's encasing this, orb. And more and more. At this point, you do notice, it seems to be, one of those orbs that are inside of there. Anything else? Nope.
    All righty. Giant eight with shadow on deck. Okay. And knocked Prone. Yeah. So you have these have to go up, which I'm not really going that far. So I'm going to get up and then I'm going to try to hit two plus attacks again. You got it. So I will I'll just roll two d20 at the same time.
    Oh that stopped okay. Well the first one was a 24 to hit that will hit okay.
    Ten plus six is 22. I'm one of the. I was terrible.
    Why am I not able to do so? 20 damage. There we go.
    Anything else? That's it. All right, shadow, you are up. Barlow on deck. After it got punched a few times by the Great eight.
    And it was over, so I can see better. We'll even say you punched at him, but he. As with the second one, he was able to kind of, like, practically grab it in the air and kind of pull your arm down.
    I'm just do two shots at the Crystal. You got to go for.
    19 to hit. That's going to hit. And then the second one to see is, 18 to hit. That hit okay. Already. Yeah. Well, you forgot the gems on the ground so quick.
    To rework that one to force.
    Team five.
    Then.
    Ship for all. All right. So what was the damage? Oh, hold on, hold out of.
    My my math is not messing. None of it was fire damage, right? No, some of it was force, though. Yeah. That's fine. 44 total, 44 total. Now. Not too shabby. It is definitely hurting bad.
    And that's it. I'm so concentrating on the what I'm worth. You have not taken any damage, so no problems there. All right, Barlow, you are up, okay I will. Is there room all the way around him? Like like get behind and move and stuff like that? Technically, because he's a survey, I'm not going to stand in any position.
    What I wanted to do was activate my feeling agility and just run around in circles as I'm attacking them. Yeah, I believe you can share that space with him being two sizes larger than you. I think you can. Okay, so, you'll be able to get, like, a square right there kind of thing. So 80ft of movement and circling him however far I can get.
    And I will attack him with my claws recklessly, of course, because I'm swinging like a madman. 23 that's going to hit her, with, 17 damage. I was the wrong ability. Cancel, cancel. Did you figure out how to do your little cheat that looks like. Yeah. I have to reload the page every so often. Just freaks out.
    So I got to reload. Roll 21. It's not my turn and wait for it. Second attack goes. Dang it. 23 again. That's tomorrow. Give me a crit. And damage. Where are you? Let's see. There's one of the things damage didn't go through. So let's just do one more and then. Come on, give me the trip. Picks up damage, and I'll do damage on the other one, because I can go through.
    There we go. So that's so I'm thinking 29, 30, 30 or 35, 45 and seven. Just 32. Wow. Oh. Oh, you counted the first one. I only did the first damage. Oh, you already did. Okay, never mind the Slow thing. It's so 27, 30, 35. Total. Yep. And, you just remind me somebody did get a crit on some, 20 on something.
    What was that for? That is save strength. Save. Or is that just mess around strength? Save. Chuckle. What did you do? I got one that's not earlier. But what was the strength save for I.
    Don't know. Are you messing around? Shoot I don't I think you're just trying to see if things worked. That's why. Because I don't think you know what? It's okay. Yep. That's it. See, if you guys marked some of these markers. Puts the trigger. All righty. Oh, so looks like the chain devil is still alive.
    So grab.
    Looks are.
    And he's a devil.
    Oh, man. See, I really Wish I would actually read these sheets instead of throwing 15 different creatures at you guys. When a feature starts a turn within 30ft of it.
    That's okay. You guys have already been fighting off the Frightened effects early on, so like, I go towards much about that. These two attacks. The fortunes.
    I don't know if there's any in the area, so I'm not going to worry about that. I'm just going to have him. He'll just go ahead and just do the tax.
    Will, Which is 10th?
    He's going to go ahead and strike out at bastion, who has kind of already had him, a 21 going to hit you. Bastion. I'm going to pop one of my protective wings, so. No. All right. So as it kind of strikes out, hits you with this chain, at that point, it's going to get kind of pissed off.
    It will then come over here and use its chain attack on the roll, since he is a devil and that is a demon. Opportunity attack is a reaction. Yes it is. Okay. Would you like to use, your opportunity attack? I already use my reaction to pop my wings. Gotcha. Yeah. No worries. And it misses its chain attack on the go.
    Wrist roll.
    So it's going to be a little ticked off. All right, sass, you are up. Go restore after. Me and I get the big guy.
    When?
    Primal Savagery. Do I still have advantage for flanking? That's fine. Especially now that he's got two enemies he's fighting off at the same time. I mean, three. Technically, there's three of you before actually. Okay, so that's 16 to him. I think that's going to miss, though. Miss? Yeah. That's okay. I, I know where is, how much damage does he take?
    Sass him. How much damage is the glorious throw going to take from your, I thought you said it didn't hit it. Does it know from your sports? It's his turn. Oh, okay.
    One.
    He is going to like you. Start seeing them stamp down his feet. Getting into.
    Oh, it's got to move at least 15ft. Should. Never mind. It's not like it just knocks things out of its way. All right, I might he will go ahead this time. He's going to go ahead and use the first fist attack on the giant ape. So that's going to be a 22 hits. You. And let's just do this.
    Giant ape. You're going to take 26 of bludgeoning damage from a fist.
    Oh, actually, at that point, it's gonna have to do another one. I yeah, let's go ahead and do a, 19 also on, Calliope. So 26 from the first attack, 19 from the second one. And it's whoof. It's going to this time. Is that on Barlow?
    Did you hear me, Calliope? I didn't see the damage go down. Yeah. Sorry. I have it on a post-it notes. Barlow 27. Is that going to hit you?
    Yeah. 27. Hit me. All right. So you're going to take 23 bludgeoning damage as it kicks down with its health. Fall to you. I also need you to do a strength saving throw strike saving throw strength. Luckily, I have advantage on strength. Because I am a raging. That's enough. You can feel it strong. You can feel the damage.
    Oh, it was, 23 damage. 23 Soul. Oh. Oven. 11. Okay. 42.
    Yeah. You can feel like the damage I like, as the force of it would probably Knock most creatures down, but you were able to kind of resist, that hold your strength on it. You you see it, like, look at you. And it kind of grunts, something in this Infernal Abyss, the Abyssal tongue that, you're not sure what it's is.
    You speak Abyssal? I don't think I do either, and I just closed goddamn roll 20. Okay. Fuck. Shit. Yeah, it's a swipe up, and I swipe up and through the window away. At that point there, the, the wall of wind is still holding up. The. Give me, some spore damage there. Sass or damage?
    That's perfect. So behind you, you hear, like, something, I yell, and you see these, spores attacking the little Abyssal Chicken that was right behind you. It is now Dead bastion. You are up. Giant ape on deck. All right, I'm going to do the same thing. Try to get this orb down. So 17. So that's.
    Hold on, hold on. Slow down. 15. Slow down. Slow down to Slow down. You are actually pretty close, so I don't want you to waste a turn. 17. So that's 21.
    Points. Oh that second hand would be enough to do it right there. So at that moment.
    As you pierce down the the last bits of this Crystal, red Crystal, you can see the just like the very bottom pieces, the red Crystal are still kind of holding, almost like, like if you're the crack open an egg to the top part is open. And you see the, this red, that's. Oh, sorry. One of those spheres now exposed fully in that area there.
    As that happens, the portal starts to kind of, to kind of shake a little bit, the flames start to kind of, start going out on the right side of this, portal. That's just the other side. That's still like holding a little bit of that conduit to it for a moment. We check my notes here.
    So at this moment here, the portal then starts to kind of, blank out. The orb that you can see is exposed, but the other one, you can see that one starting to glow a bright red.
    But the portal is closed. Yay! The orb that you have, one orb exposed on your side, the other orb is still in. Well, the other one, the other red Crystal shell is now glowing and pulsing a little bit. That said. So you did your attacks. I mean, technically, you. I have one strike is a. Yeah. Okay, so then I'm going to come back to the back side of this guy and use my last.
    You strike. This guy also has Hex on him. Okay. So how much does Hex give me?
    Well, to be fair, the damage you did, right there was enough to kill him. Okay. Yeah. And, and then I'll use my bonus action to move it over to this guy. You got it. And I'll end my turn. All right, so the giant eight you are up now. Shadow on deck.
    And you needed. Sorry. What? The eight is up. Are you aware you need to. Oh. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I forgot I was called the eight.
    My back. That's. I, okay, that's on me, too. I I'm just looking at me. I'm just like. Oh, right. That was totally my bad. Okay. Oh, hit him again with my fist. You got it? Hit it. I'm enjoying these fist attacks. Okay. Let me. One and two. So 15 and 21. All right. So the first one was hit.
    Okay, okay.
    17 I am I I'm wrong so bad. Okay. So you saw come across the jaw. The second one you try, you see him kind of dodge out of the way on that one. Anything else you got? Nothing. Elegance. I'm getting frustrated. No worries. Shadow, you are up with Barlow on deck. All right. I'm just going to shoot two arrows his way, see where I'm at, because I can see him.
    Okay, so the first one is, 28 to hit. Oh, hit. Okay. We will. That one. Okay.
    30 points of damage for the first.
    Natural one on the second. Not so nice. Give me a d20.
    Oh, that's almost another one. 12. Okay.
    There's, No. All right, Barlow, you did. I say I dropped the wooden wall, though. No, you did not say that. Okay, because the portal. What I see now, the portal is completely closed. Yeah. Then I'll drop it.
    All right, so, Barlow, you're up SAS on deck.
    Put one. All right, let me unmute myself. And I'm just. I'm sticking with the script here. I'm doing the same thing. Like Greece was still up, right? Yep. Here is going. Here we go. We're clear. As you look around, what you notice is the fact that the Greece throws still up. The first orb has been exposed, the portal is gone, and the second orb is now like the first one.
    It's flowing and pulsating red. What the. Okay, so let me know if there if a circle glowing, a pulsing in the intensity increases. But right now I get assume that once for that you might be even a little apple 21 to hit you hit. That's where it oh go through. Oh okay. I didn't see it. It just 21.
    Does the hit him. Yeah.
    It's. Yeah. It's to the damage. Oh oh not bad 19. So I can hit. I think I just hit the home. I'm at home. Play. Yeah. Good job. The laptop next. 25. That definitely hit you.
    Welcome home. Come home. Oh, well, there's 22 damage and the final slight.
    Swiping left. One for me. You want to swipe right? You. 14 on the final one.
    Yeah. And, what is my chance if anybody is, looking like a vulnerable position, I will stand between him and, the creator on that. So, yeah, those three strikes as you kind of start cutting through it, I think you're muted I am muted okay. So as you strike out with those three hits like you are making some serious damage into him, he's still standing.
    But he is definitely like about to be recalled back to the hell's bloodied. More than bloodied. Yeah. Anything else follow. You said. Sass, you are up there. No. That person.
    You are not. It's not her. Yes. Okay. We're going to do Primal Savagery again. Really? Oh, no no, no, wait. I'm an advantage. Oh, please give up this time. Had that are rolled in 1919, we'll hit. Well, it's 29 plus ten. So definitely it's. All right. So this is going to be acid damage. I've got a 3D ten.
    Hit 13. Absinthe. No worries. As you strike into it. It hurts. Anything else? But, chorister, all, He's now looking around, annoying. Doesn't matter. I'm going to be called to the hell, so I'll come back. Let's just go ahead and go down fighting. Actually, he's a demon, so they go to the Abyss. I don't even know if they come back.
    I don't know, I got to worry about the load on that right now.
    Oh, shoot. I just realize that there should have been a little more damage Resistance with the cold and fire, because I think somebody was doing cold on them, but. And lightning.
    Let's go ahead. We will send SAS. Just hit them. Well, first of all, give me some, spore damage.
    It. Let's go. Storm seven. Not too bad. Nice one. I got a this is that one D8. So he's going to. Then when those things start biting into he punches at you with a 25 to hit. He's got a range of ten feet. Two. He actually could hit.
    20 bludgeoning damage on SAS as a, right into you. It will then look over at the great ape and punch at him.
    So. Okay, 28 to hit. So that's going to hit.
    20 also. So the great eight takes 20 points of damage as the fist comes into it. And it's going to kick down once again. Barlow has 16 to hit. So that's not going to hit. Yeah. I guess that's about it's a big boy attack. Me. That is his turn.
    As we go into the next round, Barlow wanted to know if it seems like those pulses are getting faster. Yes. The pulses do seem to be getting faster at this point. Yeah, I'm not sure. What are you doing?
    All right. If I move here, am I to consider flanking? Yes. That's fine. Okay. Because there's four things on him. So. So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to use my bonus action to move my Hex from that guy to this guy. Okay? Okay. And then I will just do my normal attack.
    22 hit that will hit. All right, so then I will do 86 and then True Strike. In fact, that first hit would be enough to actually kill him. Oh, geez. So as you as you, strike out at him, you see the go restore and go down.
    He did you want to use that second hit on the other Crystal or. I thought everything was done. Well, the other Crystal is. There's still the other Crystal right here, and it's pulsating. Oh, okay. Sure, I'll use it on the other Crystal. So to strike some, it.
    So, it's, 19 plus 524.
    Oh, on here. 1020.
    59. Actually. Because it's got the radiant damage, it's inside of there. So,
    All right, anything else?
    Nope. That's a giant eight. I mean, a smashed, glass smash the glass. I mean, I just glass, all right, I think that's a great idea.
    Okay. It's just it's these things, right? Yeah. Just that one. Right? It's just the one on the left, or now the one on the right is the one on the left. Okay, so I was forward. Can I stomp on it? Yeah. Dude, whatever the attacks are, you got? Well, I don't have that actual stomp, but I'll just do the best, but pretend I stomped on it.
    That's not a problem.
    Okay. Now I. Did you go to natural 20? Go ahead, give me another d20. Okay. 11 and 11. So you gain ten points of Silver Flame healing for yourself or somebody else. So that's within 30ft of you. Ten points. Oh, healing.
    I'm Polymorph, so that doesn't really bother bother me. That's or, as you look around real quick, you see, the Barlow's probably the one that's probably looking the most wounded right now. Okay, I'll go ahead and give it to him. That's a Barlow. You take ten points of healing. Oh, that feels good. Thank you. You're welcome. And so those two, both.
    It's an A plus. What was your, bonus to that number rolled? It's like what, 11? Yeah, I think that's more. That's a 13. I hit it.
    Double check. You. Yeah. So both of those are hit. So what's the damage? For both of them. I thought it was just, I didn't call for damage. I thought it was just to start. Really? Ten plus six pretty six. So did they. Well, yeah. They both.
    So the first one is 21. That's, the second one is not great. 14. For a total.
    Oh, okay.
    Anything else? That's it. Shadow.
    I'm afraid that if I try to hit it, I'm going to hit my friend.
    Because everybody's crowded around, right? I'd say, Right. I'd say where you were, like, if you take either here or this one right here. Actually, no, because you have the pillar in your way. Yeah, I think right there. Or actually, I mean, you can move up because. Yeah, you can get on to, I think right there you'd be fine.
    Okay.
    And the stuff that you took is difficult terrain. But I do have the movement, so I think it's okay. That's why I have 45ft. So I think it's plenty.
    Oh. Natural. 20. Okay, so first of all, give me a Crystal. Give me a d20 17 a 17. All right. So now give me one more d20. 282. You get ten temporary hit points.
    And then the other one to hit is an 18 to hit run. Yeah. It's going to hit okay. So we'll do that. 26 is. That one that I got out of the way real quick here okay.
    Okay. So what's damage. So I'm counting these past nine. 57 okay. So let's go ahead.
    The total, for the first one. Okay. That was the crit. And then the second one. Nine is 22.
    57 and 22.
    Max is almost gone. As that. As those two arrows strike through, you see them chipping away as well, breaking into this red crystalline kind of structure that's, hiding another one of these orbs, as you do. So that orb that's inside of there, you can see now, there's like the red of the Crystal. It is like trying to kind of Shatter into that Crystal.
    And it's still the pieces that are still whole are still kind of pulsating with this red energy. Anything else? No. Barlow, you are up. Oh. Oh, man, I missed you. Roll 25. You can see the full map. Now I realize how small this room was. Is it really small? Greece throws down a giant gorilla and go kill that giant gorilla.
    Oh, my. Hey, hey, hey, I'm here. Yeah, the only thing that's really up right now is right here that you can't see. Because the gorilla is. There's an orb right here, and that's what you've seen. Everybody kind of breaking.
    Okay, I'll run up next to the gorilla, and I will start to, Slash the Crystal. You got it. I'll see how, the, the Crystal deals with, slashing damage. Let's see. Here we roll that same deal.
    So come on. Of course. Now, when? Not coming through now. Oh, crap. Nice. Got one. So go ahead and give me another. Give me a d20. Go. Everyone's getting all crits now on the Crystal. Enemies. Of the Crystal. Oh, number 20 itself a crit. All right. So that, so the problem with that is that would have been your another bonus to your hit points.
    But because you've already done that, they got it right. You get 50 and temporary hit points that okay. Cool. Let's do the damage on this one to the Crystal. So what's the damage? Damage is 17, 20 and 40 in 34. I went on the first hit. 34, 34. That's exactly. That's one more than you needed as you break into it.
    You break off the last bits of the red Crystal as that last bit, you kind of shape,
    I'm breaking off of it. That last strike, you see that? It stops pulsating at this point. There's, like, a little electrical, charge that kind of went around the Crystal for a moment, but then it stops. You don't know what. You just staved off it. You feel like you probably stopped something really bad from happening. So then we can go ahead.
    As you look around the room for a moment, you kind of notice the quiet. You can go ahead and get rid of the, turn order. We are out of initiative. I actually think this Crystal fragments are valuable in any way. Could we use them for something? Do you know what they are? Picking up? I mean, from the looks of it, it looks like these are the orbs that we've been looking for.
    Correct? He was. I think you were talking about the red Crystal part that was on it, but. Yes, but yes, you do notice that the orbs are very much like the, orbs you guys have been coming across. Right now, SAS has two of them. She was told that you guys. Can you, put them inside of the Brass orb that already has the other two?
    And we can use them in our ship right now. These ones. You can't use the power of the ship. No, they were too powerful. You guys were able to do it the first time when you, got when you guys found the ship. You guys did use the initial orb you guys had, But that for Sean didn't want that to happen anymore.
    Well, no, no, no, it was just. It's just, But it was too much energy for it. So that's when you guys crashed. They had to kind of really go back through the ship and fix it up. And so that's why I took a while to you guys were able to actually use the ship. From time to.
    Okay. So I examined the, crystals. So, SAS, do you want to take these two orbs and put them at the other ones? Sure. I so you can just say that you have two more orbs. You're not sure what what role does these things connect to or anything, but, okay. But they're in fact, they're not cracked or shattered or black like, the other place was they do not appear to be at this time.
    Now. Oh, so there are worlds in here? Probably. Okay. Interesting. The red crystals part that you're looking at. Bastard. It's very much like, I guess like any, like some type of Crystal, just that's been infused with some type of energies to kind of, house these, stones and kind of channeled the energy into the portal.
    You do notice like, as you're kind of analyzing them. I'm not even gonna have you roll for it, because as you're looking at and being the Wizard, you're able to kind of really see inside of the stone, very much like you've seen with, some of the other stuff, just mystical runes, just very like inside the of the crystalline structure.
    And they looked very much like the Infernal runes that you guys have come across. There was some point where you guys came across Infernal runes before, so you kind of see that. Yeah.
    I just it's. Is there anything worth picking off? These guys give me, investigation check. What is my key? Yeah, I'll help you out with that. Give me that. Help them help the scour. Okay. Oh, are these guys also worth anything? But what can we take from them? All right, so we got a few different things going on here.
    Let's go ahead and Work on the first thing that came up. What was your investigation 1818 to investigate? Which?
    Barlow, you read that monster handbook right? Oh, like the harvesting one. Harvesting? Yeah.
    So as you kind of started, Pierce, kind of going through the, the various, creatures here, We will say.
    You're able to find, like, various, sacks of Gold and coins on them. You do find about, 2000 Gold pieces? 173 Platinum. Hey, who? You find a Potion?
    Each. And you find a, a Gold jewelry box. It's got, like, some Platinum filigree on it.
    As you open that up, you do find, three diamonds.
    That look like they're probably worth around 300 Gold each. Based on quick assessment. Your role was an 18.
    Day. So someone else is going to have.
    That's fine. And then thinking about the harvesting. So now there's a lot of different creatures here. See here.
    What we have here. Just to just have a good rest. Roll. I would probably want to look at. While he's doing that, everybody can take 400 Gold pieces and 34 Platinum pieces. We before. What was that? Was before you put it in the chat? Yeah. 400 oh pieces and 30 Platinum. Oh, and then I'll put the other remaining three Platinum in the, our bank, whatever.
    You're keeping our money.
    All right, so as you kind of look at these various Dead bodies, I actually I think some of them are supposed to kind of poof out, let's see here. Can I take a demon Chicken feather? Sure. Actually, here. Let's see if they have,
    That's not on there. Okay.
    I think that's in one of the other Books. That's why it's not actually in the, master handbook, so. Yeah, that's my good. Excuse me.
    Oh, actually, the, demons that are slain on the Material Plane actually dissolve into a foul economy, and they return to the Abyss. So, yeah, the demons actually would be. And I think the demon, the devils are going to do very similar. Devils combusted into ash or dissolve into foul occur. So at this point, you see that it's just a mess of like, ash and liquor.
    Which is why it was probably a little bit easier for, shadow to find the treasures that she found that were left behind.
    So no demon Chicken feather? Unfortunately. You're right. Yeah. There would be no demon Chicken feather.
    Well, you know what, though? Like, they're not actual demons or devils themselves. They're just Abyssal. So I would say that those corpses would still be hot. I'm fine with that. So you can have it? Yes. Demon Chicken feather. Abyssal Chicken feather. Abyssal.
    You said you guys took the orb. Somebody. Yes. Yes. Has them. Yeah. That's right. So as you're, kind of picking up the last pieces and kind of, settling at the score, you guys all hear a voice kind of in your head. Finally. And it's the, the Rakshasa from a song I hear from that you guys talk to, and it tells you that's it's, take care of some situations for now.
    I thank you. I think our deal has been struck. I if you guys want, I could, send you guys wherever you guys would like to go. But I do think you might want to leave the house soon.
    What happens if we don't? Well, somewhere around here, there's an orphan licking his wounds, thinking about coming back after you for one. Oh, I also, I'm pretty sure that all the other devils, when they find out you guys are here. I can only help protect you guys for so long. For reasons. But your purposes have been. My purposes have been met at this point.
    Should we go back to town?
    Where? Our ship. Witch. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I don't think we're. I think we're going at home.
    We found that magical street, right? The trap street. And that's where, currently that would be, where you're supposed to take the egg back to so you guys can find out about the cats. Well, thought. Oh, I guess let's just do that then. Do we want to return the egg to the cats? Oh. Oh, yes. Yes, yes.
    We'll go there and look for the ones that asked us to find it. Right. Yeah. Just give me a moment. Let me, kind of delve a little deeper into your heads. The. This does not seem like a normal destination. Okay. At this, there is a portal that kind of opens up in the center of the room, you see, like, just through the cracks of the flooring.
    This little Light that starts kind of shining up. And then in the center, there's a little circle that kind of opens up where you can see it looks like going to, very similar to that area where that street corner was.
    I wouldn't dally the portal only stays open for a few seconds, guys. Let's go. Oh, okay. I need to drop Polymorph. I'll drop colony. Yeah.
    Hostility. In fact. Calliope, stat in there as a name. Should I drop Polymorph? Should I? You know, I'll just go ahead and drop it. She actually says those words, and then she turns into the Faun and leaps in. Yeah. You mean she roars those words? Good point. You're right. And then one of us just reaches back through the portal, grabs her elbow and pulls her through.
    You guys do come back. As you guys do come through the portal, you are actually teleported inside of the trap street. So he was able to kind of get you guys there for some reason. You can squeak past it. See, he's. You guys are very close to, actually to where the, the mayor was, the little office area was that you got to talk to the mayor at.
    If that's where we need to go. Right. So, as you guys do, go towards the building, Clara does come out. Oh, wow. You guys, that was pretty quick, actually. Phil's and you guys are, like, month. You guys were able to get the, the egg.
    Yes. And as use as shadow says. Yes, you do see throughout the streets now from almost every kind of crack and crevice, you see various, breeds of kittens and cats coming around, a lot of them with a little bit of an alley cat look, but, some look like they're very. Well, cat. That's kind of hard to really state.
    Shadow and Barlow, I believe you guys have really high perception checks. Yes. You two are getting a little bit edgy. Like, a little bit of a Weird feeling, though. At this moment, you can almost see kind of like a disdain from the cats as they look at you two more than the others for some reason.
    Especially at first. But, you know, there's a little bit of like, animosity kind of feeling, but then you can also see very quickly it kind of shifts into a, a begrudgingly, I guess these are the ones that we need to Work with right now kind of, expression, if you can get that off of a little cat.
    Oh, you can pretty good at looking annoying, They they have the look of disdain down, and you can tell it's a little bit more aimed at the two to back see him at the root. The, the cats kind of look at you, and then they all start kind of walking down the. As they kind of pass you, they go the opposite way of Clara, and you can see they start walking down, it looks like it's probably the same entrance as you guys initially came here.
    One of the cats near the back kind of looks at you guys, in a kind of. Are you coming? Kind of. Look at is the shows his butthole, the flick, his tail really quick? Yep. It's, the, right at this moment. He does not do that. We'll follow as you go. Start the follow. Then he does that.
    Asshole. Yep. That's what it was. So as they kind of leave, you guys start following them down. You notice that the.
    Alleyway that would have gone back to the streets that you guys had initially found this place from. It actually kind of almost feels like you guys are walking on for a while now. The. Almost as if you didn't notice, but you no longer really even know. You're not sure how long ago the walls weren't there anymore?
    As you kind of look to your left in the right, it's, very kind of foggy area here. You have, like, sight with about ten, 15ft around you. The fog, though, that's kind of been building up, you're noticing is very thick. And it almost has a bit of texture to it. A little shimmers of color that it kind of.
    They kind of go through it, though, and it looks almost like it has more substance than, fog does. But as you kind of break through it, it just kind of dissipates away from you. And I think I'm just going to act now. Does it have that regular fog? It does not have, like that ozone type smell.
    It's as you try to kind of focus on what does it smell like? There's a moment for especially for being at to backseat, you know, there's like a little bit of a catnip smell to it, but that sweetness kind of is. It's very quick, and then it's gone. Then you start picking up little traces of, like, is that licorice?
    A little bit of, like, a bourbon smell. Like it just kind of seems to fluctuate between different types of smells. And so then it's almost like you can't really tell what you smell anymore. It's it's just something's going on with it. Am I picking up anything as often as they fawn? For you at first when you start trying to pick up the smells, it's actually you're smelling some of the flowers that you remember from the veil, various different flowery scents.
    At first you're in, and then as your mind tries to kind of think about what kind of flower you think you smell, then the smell starts kind of switching off into other kinds of, flavors of, there's a lot of ways of like, cigar smoke for a second, but then it kind of goes into, these various candies almost.
    And then, it's just the same thing. There's a moment where you're trying to catch what scent you think you smell, and then it's just too much that you can't really pick through it anymore. But the truth is, that's kind of. I wasn't sure how long the combat was going to take. So what we'll do is we'll kind of leave it there where the cats are kind of leading you to something.
    Okay? But there would be a way that I could get ready. Or is he, like, just stuck with the ship now? Is that the ship?
    Give me a give me a wisdom. Will someone wisdom check? Yeah. Yeah. Let's do that. Hey.
    What is my wisdom? It's seven six. So, you you start thinking of already and how much you kind of miss having him around like, you're kind of trying to grab onto that thread, but it's like. Relationship that you've been building with him. And just for a slight moment, as you kind of looking into the clouds, you're pretty sure you think you see his face, but then it's kind of gone.
    Okay, so unfortunately and there's nothing you can do right now. Okay. If you're out a way, you gotta figure out a way to get him a teleporter, a transporter. Yeah. Some sort of a space that you can stay in. I mean, we got the portal, the whole. But, you know, the last, like, few minutes, I think it's like ten minutes of air.
    You take a look. Yeah. I need a trinket. Locket to look for that. You could have one, mate. Probably we can go back to that one crafted. I made the other pocket stuff for us. Maybe there maybe was to get a really nice, high quality Gem or something. Something. One of the magic.

    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.
