Brothel DnD - Out of the Abyss 115

[00:00:00] The Rancors Brothel presents...

[00:00:09] A Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

[00:00:19] How could you miss? here where's Brunor he's up in the throne room I push my way past them the attacks have been coming more and more perfect let's go talk to the king I'm gonna take four hours and then I'm going with I just I'm gonna fucking rest you realize you're safer to rest up in the throne room that's fair play then you are

[00:01:44] no no no the attack was no no's pulling out delicious meat pastries or something You know in all honesty I'm still not sure how that works because it used to list in each monster what kind of treasure you could find but

[00:04:03] No, I didn't know if it was hard or deadly. I mean it's above the minimum requirement for deadly.

[00:04:08] Gotcha.

[00:04:09] But that would be...

[00:04:10] It's definitely more fun than the shit they probably give you in the book, I'm sure.

[00:04:15] Most of the encounters in the book don't go beyond about CR6.

[00:04:21] Which is a joke.

[00:04:22] For this highly level characters we are.

[00:04:24] Well no, you just...

[00:04:25] Unless you're fighting demon lords.

[00:04:26] Well that's a fair guess.

[00:04:27] You just have... Told you shoved me off when I told you that those those four were above 20 that is not how that works Yeah, that's not how the CR has like a multiple. There's a whole thing Yeah, cuz like to CR tens are not necessarily the same as one CR 20 Right the way it calculates in the DMG is very weird like I would have to do exactly what Jeff did would you sit there?

[00:05:41] With a pen and paper and look at it. I've never done it enough to calculate it

[00:05:43] Yeah for your level a dead leak encounter is 18,000 experience points worth of shit awesome DCC game. Yeah I could see that. Brunar. Brunar. Yes you guys will be taken directly to King Bruner. He knows about the attack he's heard that you guys intervened he is thankful he wonders what the hell you're doing back him out of, he wasn't expecting that. Why are you going to Luskin? Vacation? Who the beach is? Who the hell are you? The food alone is worth the trip.

[00:08:20] To hunt down, yeah, as you say, Bruner doesn't really know that we have two entirely different

[00:08:26] people adventuring with us, right?

[00:08:28] No. I hate Lucas so much. I'm awake tonight, man. This is great. We just discussed this here. Sleep. Lucas is awake. Did take out two demon lords. That is accurate. Three, two, three, I think technically. Technically three are dead. Yeah.

[00:09:40] Right?

[00:09:41] Didn't we fight one in some dreamscape, dream warriors, Freddy Krueger shit?

[00:09:44] Something like that.

[00:09:45] Oh, was that-

[00:09:46] No, that was the same one.

[00:09:47] That was part of the duel. there perfect 15 23 not even close to that he's trying to play it off he knows he knows grumps there the fuck is that what did something crawl behind the

[00:11:00] behind the Dracula one yeah I saw like movement a big bug big enough that I Well, right now there's... there are a lot of mages in Luskin. Who could legitimately be considered archmages in their own right. Are they official? Like are they in leaderboards? But the one that bought all the demon lords, by the way, to this plane of existence. That would be Grom.

[00:12:21] I know.

[00:12:25] How do you know? tower, it's we've been losing control of it gradually. As we ever since we came back to gauntel grim, we've never been able to keep it completely under control and it's gotten worse. So they're rebuilding the host tower. The host tower is what generates the power to that it generates the power that fuels the water elementals that keep that thing

[00:13:41] in check. something is a hey we're friends. Oh. Cadbury Cadbury can vouch for you. She good good eggs. Cadbury eggs. Oh. Jeff was lost.

[00:15:00] Jeff was lost.

[00:15:01] Because both Jeff and both Jeff and Cody have seen it written

[00:15:05] so it looks nothing like Cadbury.

[00:15:07] Yeah it does not look at all. And I have to prepare that no we have yeah, we're absolutely resting yeah And unless you have any couldn't objection Jeff. I was just gonna level or not level up, but I'm just gonna level up 18 sound good for you 20 I'll take 16 I've just had a race 14 Up you can rest yep

[00:16:21] All right, and let's go to L as presumptuous as to think that I would

[00:17:41] eat with the king, but you know, I don't know.

[00:17:43] You guys would absolutely be honored guests. If we got more magical items or armor, that would be clutch. But I think Jeff has taken that off the table. Treat some stuff in. I mean, yeah, if you wanna shave off some of your inventory, that's fine, but. Cool fire sword, which doesn't really help towards

[00:19:01] with demons.

[00:19:04] How about a cold sword?

[00:19:06] I mean, if you got an ice sword, fuck, sign me up. Who's Jarlaxle? Jarlaxle is the head of a mercenary band out of Menzel Barrington called Brigandereth. You look confused. Well, something's connecting in my head.

[00:20:21] Is it a thought?

[00:20:22] Was it all the stuff I was talking about earlier?

[00:20:24] Kind of. How long ago was Grom here? Was it like he teleported straight from Minza Baranzan to here as soon as he released the Demon Lords? Which means you would have known about all of this before sending us back down in the Underdark? Hmm. Some of it, yes. Asshole. Hahaha.

[00:21:44] But he wouldn't have necessarily known. See, the thing that we need to fill Br two no they all got out of the abyss you know something guys he said the thing I didn't mean to I'll give you three guesses on who's left behind the first two don't count I Okay. I want to see what's going on there. Very excited. Okay. Let's talk to Gromp. You guys can rest up and you'll have your spell and you can get there in a couple hours. Yeah. We can do that.

[00:24:20] So once you cast your spell and you windwalk Uh, wouldn't we just pop in town? I think we could. Like, fuck a gate. We all just wisp and pop right in the middle of town square. It worked for Harry Potter. I'm not opposed to that. It may cause a stir.

[00:25:42] As opposed to landing outside town and walking into the gate like normal.

[00:25:46] Okay, I just sent you guys a picture.

[00:26:45] the the the dwarven trading company that was there that is abandoned got you land there but the rest of the the rest of this place it looks like maybe one

[00:26:53] in every six buildings is occupied destroyed almost dilapidated left

[00:27:01] abandoned some of them it looks like giant chunks of stone went through the Just send a message to her Hey, bro. Yeah just arrived into town trying to get some insight on what's going out or what's going on fancy a pint TTYL Something to that effect. I think would be good You'll get a message back saying

[00:28:22] One eye jacks an hour and a half

[00:29:40] Okay, do we know where one eye jacks are you proficient in perception that's why it's passive perception yes then it's your perception score plus 10 17 okay I always thought it was wisdom modifier

[00:29:42] it's basically as if you rolled a 10 on a perception roll

[00:29:44] gotcha relative, you know. Do I throw him a bone, Jeff? I don't care. Okay. Um, couple of questions. Yes. These are more Cody questions, but male or female? Male and female actually. Male predominantly? Is it clearly not male? Male predominantly, but not exclusively. Correct. Which does tell you something.

[00:31:03] Attire?

[00:32:23] No, they're drow. I mean to know what the fuck is going on And no no holy symbols that you I mean you're not gonna find much in here. Okay. Would I have been able to see any just outside the city as we flew in? Sure. Okay. Enjoying fish. Fish and chips. That makes travel from here one rest instead of multiple. Let me go to the bathroom real quick.

[00:33:40] Yes, Troy. Would you like to conspire. Are there females within the troop? I am surprised that we're not seeing all males. Yeah, that is that that should definitely be a question because it is a matriarchal society that reports up to the spider queen. Ostensibly, all women are a part of the matriarchal society like as a given.

[00:35:06] Regardless of station. Correct all the questions. Yeah, yeah, because I think that from a social hierarchy from a social pecking order This is not what this interaction you're seeing here is not what you would see in most drow cities in the under dark This is not how men and women would interact in If any of them had station now, that's not to say that women, you know All are immediately elevated above the men

[00:36:22] But it usually goes to to assume that the women will be in charge of the raiding parties the women will

[00:37:23] hierarchy is based entirely off of named houses. Like it just goes to suppose that if you are a

[00:37:26] if you're a mercenary trading pirating group

[00:37:30] and you go by a single name, you're not likely

[00:37:34] connected to the leading house.

[00:37:38] You're not the largest draw city connected to a

[00:37:40] drow house that's still operating.

[00:37:44] They're reading a little bit into some of the social stuff

[00:37:46] that I was asking questions about. trading work so it's possible but it would be presumed unlikely. Okay. You know Prince, could he be the man in the iron mask? Could he be you know, could he be the lost forgotten son? It's possible but not likely. Well, see the thing about drow houses.

[00:39:02] I mean this would have been common knowledge for Mulvayus or something like that.

[00:39:07] I'd give it a lot more if Mulvayus was still around. The only other thing that I that I Cody would bring up I just messaged you I don't know if it's common enough knowledge I don't think it is No, I Mean maybe here on the surface there would be mention of a Listeria But I'm just I just don't know if they would if it's common knowledge in your religion check

[00:40:26] Anybody can if they would know things like Vayruin and all the sociopolitical stuff that gets involved with that or not. Probably not, because most of the news that would come out of Menzibaransen was L close of a coincidence. You got it. I still want my fish. Yeah. You go in, you get your fish, get drinks, you sit and wait, eventually, Katabree comes walking in. What's up, girlfriend?

[00:43:00] It is good to see you in one piece, Kira.

[00:43:04] Yeah.

[00:43:05] There are several that, I mean, I've, was I asleep? I don't remember. Where, where, where are all the drow coming from? They're,

[00:44:21] they're rebuilding Luskin. Right. But'm not as worried about Gerlaxle's doings as I am about, you know. Yeah. I said we need something from him if we're going to make it stop. I can set up an introduction, but I don't know how helpful he'll be able to be.

[00:45:41] We've been known to be persuasive.

[00:45:43] Just look at that, Pono. Are you folks? Is this, you know, timeshare? You all sitting around and singing Kumbaya? Now all this? This is, this is Gerlax. This isn't me. No, no, no. I'm, and I point south, west. Oh, the tower? We pointed the tower we saw walking over here.

[00:47:00] Yeah.

[00:47:01] It needed rebuilt and they'll need somebody to watch it.

[00:47:04] Right.

[00:47:05] I get, I get it in the library. Well, I mean... And his reaction to it. It obviously wasn't his plan. No, but to think that he didn't execute it specifically is missing the writing on the wall that there's only one that's not walking around.

[00:48:22] I don't know what happened to your spell.

[00:48:24] I don't know, but apparently we're trying to who the wizard is? Not particularly. Where is the book? Who do you think is going to be able to decipher my spell? You sound confident. I would like to know.

[00:49:40] I don't hand this type retort to jeff right now. So we have to give him something I was just gonna give him the last name and give him the last name A deveer probably haven't heard that name in a while. I haven't oh

[00:51:03] There's at least one left very, it's equations. He's, he's trying to figure out what exactly you're trying to do. He's not going to give you his work without knowing what you're going to use it. I've got all of it. No, no, no. I mean, where's the, we're trying to reimburse the spell. Like what else? Well, right. But once you tell him visit, Viserin is involved in this, I wouldn't trust anything he told me. There's no point. Did he tell you where he wants you to draw them? Well, it was all about drawing them to a single point and then there was another effect which was actually going to vanish them, but I don't remember what it was. Is it us killing them?

[00:53:40] You're you're dragging all these rabid dogs into one spot, hoping that they will fight

[00:53:46] each other.

[00:53:47] That's right. that didn't work why why why summon him yeah for power aren't you pretty pretty cool found out. I think that may be one of the most powerful weapons that you may have against these demon

[00:56:21] lords.

[00:56:23] The modrons called it an order that makes me think that it or whatever team first you need my book, right? Yes, correct He'll look over to the bar. Can you get a man? and Get what can you get? What did you say? Can you get them in them in? I think he said a man and I was like Who's a man? Is Jarla Axel behind the bar? It's it's not actually Jarla Axel

[00:57:42] He he's still down below

[00:58:47] break into yeah it'll be less breaking in if so long as I can tell you where to go and what to do escaping huh more like escaping no you'll be sneaking in but you

[00:58:54] won't have to do a whole lot of the breaking in jarlaxel can get you in to

[00:59:00] this can get you through the city and to the source there. Oh, Jesus. I'm just gonna say that when you're not yawning. No, it's just because I know the I know the landscape like it was great to come up to the surface and to get Jarlax's help and to get the bartender to help.dark. Yeah, we are. I mean, every time we're getting closer. I mean, it just seems like this is like a big step towards the end. Well, yeah, you guys made me rewrite this shit.

[01:01:40] I'm skipping the re-write shit.

[01:01:41] I think you guys know what made you do shit.

[01:01:42] I'm not.

[01:01:43] I'm not.

[01:01:44] I'm not.

[01:01:45] I'm not.

[01:01:46] I'm not.

[01:01:47] I'm not.

[01:01:48] I'm not.
