Brothel DnD - Out of the Abyss 116

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

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

[00:00:19] How could you miss? Oh, yes.

[00:00:37] Because we always have such bad audio problems.

[00:00:41] Most of my time is spent cutting Troy burps and Jeff breathing. The only time we did that, I'm being conscious.

[00:00:45] Hey, I'm not being conscious of that no you're intentionally doing it straight. I'm not intentionally

[00:00:52] The only time we had bad audio was when we accidentally recorded you an entire session with the microphone backwards

[00:01:01] Do you not do sound checks we did do sound I was like, it looks fine. Let's go.

[00:01:05] It was really late.

[00:01:06] We were just trying to get through that game.

[00:01:07] And I was like, let's just go.

[00:01:08] What you're saying is, you didn't do a sound check, Lucas.

[00:01:12] It's like, oh, it looks fine.

[00:01:13] But they did.

[00:01:15] They just went through the motions.

[00:01:16] He didn't actually look at it.

[00:01:17] He said, yep, good.

[00:01:19] Sounds like a Lucas thing.

[00:01:20] I'm fine at the time.

[00:01:21] I started listening to him.

[00:01:22] It sounds like he's in a tin can.

[00:01:23] I'm like, what the fuck's going on?

[00:01:24] You were using the old mic in the garage?

[00:01:26] No.

[00:01:27] The literal mic that was in a tin can?

[00:01:29] Oh man.

[00:01:30] That was fun stuff.

[00:01:35] Let's kill things, shall we?

[00:01:36] I don't know.

[00:01:37] We'll see.

[00:01:38] So you guys are in Luskin still.

[00:01:42] You've been talking to Gromf.

[00:01:44] He's pretty much told you you do need to go back to Menzoberranzan and get his book.

[00:01:51] For the audience, we may do a little bit of refreshing because it's been a while.

[00:01:55] Uh, no. First off, Lucas, I remember what's going on because I'm very excited because now we get to sneak into Menzzo Baronzan, which is going to go

[00:02:08] Incredibly poorly so I cannot wait to be captured and whipped

[00:02:14] By Drow priestesses with their snake whips because that's what's going to happen. That's the thing is it death by snoo snoo

[00:02:20] There's no snoo snoo lots of death. No snoo snoo. I mean there could be snoo snoo, but

[00:02:22] Probably not that you'd enjoy. I'm still in

[00:02:26] Think think drider with a strap enjoy. I'm still in think think drider with a strap on no

[00:02:29] I'm still in

[00:02:35] It's been a really long time Jeff I need details but I just need to be touched

[00:02:40] Even if it's with giant snake Nick slap me in the face

[00:02:45] I'm not cutting that. You'll be lucky if you hurt him.

[00:02:48] It's a family guy reference. Yes, I know.

[00:02:52] Yeah, he said you should make your way into the city.

[00:02:56] Remind me of a name.

[00:03:00] Who's the mercenary? Which mercs?

[00:03:03] Jarlaxle. You're like, so you're right.

[00:03:05] It started with the J for some reason I had Z or an X in my head.

[00:03:08] We were talking about it at work. Ah, gotcha.

[00:03:12] Make your way into the city. However you plan to once you get in you need to make your way to

[00:03:19] Narbandale shadow

[00:03:21] Which is an inn caters to pretty much everybody.

[00:03:25] You don't have to be drow.

[00:03:27] Wait there, be contacted.

[00:03:30] Just FYI for everybody to table note that it matters.

[00:03:32] I do not have my notebook.

[00:03:34] It is sitting on my desk at home.

[00:03:37] It's all right.

[00:03:39] I scoured my car today and I was like, son of a bitch.

[00:03:43] I'm sorry, give me just a second.

[00:03:44] I don't have notes and he doesn't have his monster stats.

[00:03:47] So it's gonna be a fun night.

[00:03:49] I am pulling up my notes though.

[00:03:52] Your notes are not the same as our notes.

[00:03:54] At this point really, we're getting,

[00:03:59] we have to go into Menzo Baronzan.

[00:04:01] Are we going to, it's not Meg thereir, what's the wizard, is it in,

[00:04:09] where's his spell book at, did he tell us that?

[00:04:11] It's in Sorcer.

[00:04:12] Yeah. Is it in Sorcer?

[00:04:13] It's in Sorcer in his Interceptum.

[00:04:15] Okay, I don't know if I'd rather break into Sorcerr less

[00:04:20] or into Bonray's house less.

[00:04:24] Sorcer's probably safer.

[00:04:26] Well, he has pretty much told you that

[00:04:29] Jarlaxle can get you into Sorceror. He gives you each a password.

[00:04:34] Says, once you're inside,

[00:04:37] speak the password, you'll have an hour in the guard. Spells will not affect you.

[00:04:41] 1, 2, 3, 4.. Yes each of you has a password.

[00:04:46] Right.

[00:04:47] An individual password.

[00:04:48] Oh.

[00:04:49] Did we get those?

[00:04:50] Because I don't remember that at all.

[00:04:51] No I am building on this now.

[00:04:54] This is a new thing.

[00:04:55] This is a new thing.

[00:04:56] That's why I'm pulling up my notes.

[00:04:57] The password I have is to make my sanctuary thing explode and grow.

[00:05:04] He's talking about the tower. Yeah I know. Yeah. Yeah. and been noticed and she may want to leave town with you guys. Is that someone out of war, the Spider Queen or no?

[00:05:26] No.

[00:05:27] Okay.

[00:05:28] There was a K, there's a K, H, Kel, something.

[00:05:31] I was just curious.

[00:05:32] It's been a long time since I read those.

[00:05:35] Good books.

[00:05:36] Good, no.

[00:05:37] It's too close to Khaleesi Drago.

[00:05:38] You ever read Game of Thrones?

[00:05:42] Yes.

[00:05:43] Um, where were we? was it Narbandale shadow

[00:05:48] Narbandale shadow is the name of the yeah

[00:05:51] Okay

[00:05:52] Correct me if I'm wrong. You're wrong. We found out that

[00:05:56] What's Caddy's dad's name? I can't remember the good Bruner Bruner that Bruner and Caddy both knew about

[00:06:03] Gromp before we even were set back in yep

[00:06:06] I remember being upset about that. Yeah, me too. We're just making sure I was remembering correctly

[00:06:11] Yeah, you found out that they actually put Gromp to work

[00:06:15] Helping control the the primordial under gontogram right?

[00:06:20] So we do this and then go find Baphomet after that the next set the next idea

[00:06:26] Would you say that was always name was which one Kaleesi Kaleesi dragga?

[00:06:31] We just need the diary with all we need is grumps the more so it says I want to go fight Baphomet no

[00:06:38] No, we we do it. I mean I guess another

[00:06:42] Side mission is the world engine or whatever was called

[00:06:46] Would that be a?

[00:06:47] It's where we were headed I thought.

[00:06:48] That before this.

[00:06:51] Grunftid you spent some time telling Grunft about that.

[00:06:54] Yeah he told us that the whole point of this well the whole point of the spell is not to

[00:06:58] banish them but to bring them all together to the same place.

[00:07:01] Correct.

[00:07:02] And he said that going by your description of the world, or the maze engine.

[00:07:07] That's the place to do it.

[00:07:08] That would be a very effective place to do it.

[00:07:11] The maze engine...

[00:07:13] Would set the world right.

[00:07:14] Could, yes.

[00:07:15] Why are you giggling down there?

[00:07:18] Because I said world engine and I like did it on accident and he's almost at a twice

[00:07:22] and a half.

[00:07:23] Yeah, I was trying to figure out why the hell am I confusing world engine?

[00:07:26] The main engine.

[00:07:27] Yeah.

[00:07:28] Literally.

[00:07:29] Um, it's from, from when it's still okay.

[00:07:32] Got it.

[00:07:33] Oh yeah.

[00:07:34] Okay.

[00:07:35] Yeah.

[00:07:36] Is, is Draga a drown surname?

[00:07:37] No, it's not.

[00:07:40] Do we get anything from that?

[00:07:42] All we got was she.

[00:07:43] So I was just curious if there's anything else.

[00:07:45] Do we notice, would I know that is a dwarf's own name, a gray dwarf's name?

[00:07:49] It's definitely an elf name.

[00:07:52] Make a history check.

[00:07:54] Huh.

[00:07:55] A history check or an intelligence check?

[00:07:58] If you're not perfect.

[00:07:59] Just him or across the board.

[00:08:03] Anybody but Lucas and Troy

[00:08:07] You guys weren't there

[00:08:10] These characters were not there

[00:08:13] So what you're saying is because I can't remember if I mentioned that name before or not, but I'll give it to you either way

[00:08:19] You said history or what?

[00:08:22] Intelligence if you're not proficient in history. Well, 18.

[00:08:25] 18?

[00:08:26] Uh, I probably can't beat an 18, but I'll give it a shot.

[00:08:32] 16.

[00:08:34] You probably heard that name tied to the Lord's Alliance.

[00:08:38] So we think it's an elf with the Lord's Alliance.

[00:08:42] What we're guessing.

[00:08:44] See, I can't remember if the Lord's Alliance told you about them.

[00:08:48] The Lord's Alliance didn't tell us shit because they didn't really want to join us.

[00:08:53] Because like the Order of the Gauntlet and things like that said we've lost these people.

[00:08:59] If you see them while you're down there, let us know or bring them back.

[00:09:02] Gotcha.

[00:09:03] Calessa Dragga would be one of the ones that the Lord's Alliance would have

[00:09:07] mentioned gotcha so this isn't is an inn in Minza Baranza

[00:09:12] Narbandale shadow is that's a person there should talk to while we're in the

[00:09:18] inn right so we're to assume that there's an elf free who or potentially

[00:09:23] okay I'm just confused.

[00:09:25] Well, that's why I said that's unusual,

[00:09:28] considering how that if anyone's going to attract

[00:09:32] the attention of the drow to torture,

[00:09:36] female elf is pretty high up on the list.

[00:09:40] Consummate professionalism.

[00:09:42] Is it, have I ever been?

[00:09:43] Is it possible that she would be like slave labor at an inn?

[00:09:48] Maybe, or she's hiding, you know.

[00:09:51] She could be pretending to be X, Y, or Z.

[00:09:56] She could be infiltrating.

[00:09:58] Who knows?

[00:10:00] Is she the opposite of an albino drow?

[00:10:01] So she's just like a dark elf?

[00:10:03] You know, it's kind of weird just to throw this out here,

[00:10:06] because yes, the the the drow definitely like at some point

[00:10:10] in their history, you know, became the sort of the traditional

[00:10:14] like black skin white hair that we see now.

[00:10:18] But if you look at some of the early art for like Homeland

[00:10:20] Sojourn and exile, it the skin, the skin color that they have

[00:10:24] for Dritzd is dark,

[00:10:26] but it's not.

[00:10:27] It's not.

[00:10:27] You've got purple, but I've also seen art

[00:10:29] where it's almost like beige, like a dark brown.

[00:10:32] You know, I have seen that.

[00:10:34] Yeah.

[00:10:35] It was always weird to me.

[00:10:36] It was one artist who did those.

[00:10:38] And it was a very weird drawing of Dritzd.

[00:10:42] It is.

[00:10:43] It looks nothing like what you would see

[00:10:44] when he's

[00:10:45] got purple or with the black skin, but it's like I might have one of them in there, but

[00:10:49] like it's one of the older artists, but like I had to go back because I was like in one

[00:10:53] of these books, did Salvatore not like describe the skin color as obsidian or is drizz supposed

[00:10:59] to have a slightly different skin tone, but like yeah, he's drawn clearly is like almost

[00:11:03] like a dark brown. Yeah. So anyway, anyway variations theoretically if you're looking at the artwork of the

[00:11:09] books do exist

[00:11:11] yeah and cannon I don't think they did you have you seen the new Salvatore book

[00:11:17] that's coming out

[00:11:18] I have not but I have heard that I've that, because I think it's tied into Baldur's Gate 3. Which I had next week, by the way.

[00:11:27] She's dated 20 days early.

[00:11:29] Forgot to update it.

[00:11:30] And it's entirely cooperative like Div 2.

[00:11:35] Nice.

[00:11:36] Co-op and cross platform play.

[00:11:38] I wonder how many players that has.

[00:11:40] Four, I believe.

[00:11:41] We'll figure that out.

[00:11:43] I'll be on my Xbox planet

[00:11:45] but anyway

[00:11:46] Well, I was actually talking to somebody at the comic book shop about this last night because he's starting to write the daughter of Dritz

[00:11:52] And category apparently is where he's headed next which I think is a character in Baldur's Gate 3 really yes

[00:12:01] The the new the most recent trilogy is learning about the other drow

[00:12:06] cities, like on the surface.

[00:12:07] Oh, okay.

[00:12:08] And the third book is, is dripped going back to men's of Berenson to

[00:12:13] overthrow the cult of Loth, huh?

[00:12:15] Because there's, there's been a huge upheaval in the cult of Loth.

[00:12:20] Like you do.

[00:12:21] Like the, they found out that all the driders that have ever been created and killed and things like that. Loth had all of them and when

[00:12:30] they invaded Gontelgrim, she sent them all back and then they all they all

[00:12:35] woke up and became free. Interesting. It's been very interesting. I've

[00:12:42] been waiting for this trilogy to finish so that I can read it all at once.

[00:12:46] Was the spirit guardian destroyed?

[00:12:49] The shield guardian?

[00:12:50] The shield guardian. I can't remember.

[00:12:52] I don't think so. Didn't you took over the shield guardian, right?

[00:12:55] I did.

[00:12:56] I don't think it was destroyed.

[00:12:57] I don't think so.

[00:12:59] There was something that beat the living shit out of it, but I don't remember what it was.

[00:13:03] Was it these werewolf looking things?

[00:13:05] The trolls or minotaurs we fought maybe?

[00:13:08] It was chump blocking a lot of damage for us recently.

[00:13:10] Yeah.

[00:13:11] I know it got close but I don't think it was killed.

[00:13:15] It like dropped down a pit or something didn't it?

[00:13:18] That was long before.

[00:13:19] It survived that.

[00:13:21] I can't remember.

[00:13:22] That was when you killed me the first time.

[00:13:24] Yeah that was when my character was found yeah

[00:13:26] It went down it fell off of the the beholder down the pit yeah, but it

[00:13:34] Yeah, yeah, no, I thought there was something after that, but I could I could be very wrong

[00:13:38] I thought it has been a while, but we fought your fight. I remember what minotaurs. Yeah, we fought minotaurs

[00:13:44] While we fought your fight. I remember what mine it or yeah, we fought minotaurs

[00:13:48] You also fought the cannibals was that now all the same fight?

[00:13:55] Yeah, it was like they were running through a hallway right we found the tower that we stayed in mm-hmm. We got new Troy

[00:13:58] We went down

[00:14:04] We were the angel you met the knoll yeah, we had the no the no and he led you around you ended up in

[00:14:11] What was the demon that we fought as we were coming back into gauntel grim? Oh, yeah No, that's where it chump blocked a bunch of shit

[00:14:13] We came back in with we can't we teleported back into gauntel grim in like some sort of mushroom area

[00:14:19] And you came around and started walloping us. I can they came through the wall

[00:14:24] Yeah, that was bad because you dropped like three people.

[00:14:28] Yeah. Because I ran out into the hallway.

[00:14:29] Yeah, but I don't think anyone died,

[00:14:31] including the show garden.

[00:14:33] I honestly don't remember.

[00:14:35] That was a nasty fight, though.

[00:14:37] So that was the one that had like the hornet things.

[00:14:40] For some reason, I feel like-

[00:14:41] Yeah, there were Casme demons.

[00:14:42] There was something else I don't remember.

[00:14:44] For some reason, I feel like there was something that destroyed it. I don't I do too, but I can't remember for sure

[00:14:49] anyway

[00:14:50] There was some kind of status effect that killed it when it hit zero because it wouldn't regenerate. I don't remember

[00:14:57] I don't know whatever hit zero

[00:15:07] No, I have it down to 20. So anyway, we are so is your Laxel going to help us?

[00:15:11] Oceans, oceans, 11 this.

[00:15:14] Yeah.

[00:15:15] Bregan Dares will contact you at the end.

[00:15:17] Okay, so he's not helping us get to the end.

[00:15:20] Once we get to the end, he's going to get us.

[00:15:22] Correct.

[00:15:23] Well, we all have to get into this in in men's brands and we're going the end, he's going to get us. Correct. Well, we don't have to get into this in, in Menza-Branzan.

[00:15:26] We have to get into Menza-Branzan first.

[00:15:30] You've been given away.

[00:15:31] That's the more difficult part.

[00:15:32] You've been given away into the city.

[00:15:33] Safely.

[00:15:34] Yes.

[00:15:35] Viseron has a secret tunnel into the city.

[00:15:37] Yeah.

[00:15:38] Okay.

[00:15:39] Remember, that's where you sent that guy with all your money who totally didn't disappear

[00:15:41] with it.

[00:15:42] He is.

[00:15:43] He's also going to go with you, according to Viseron.

[00:15:45] See, the other thing is that we also have to...

[00:15:48] Not going to be a trap at all.

[00:15:50] Well, though, Viseron wants to murder all of Menzoberran's in as part of the spell.

[00:15:58] Something else we need to consider.

[00:16:01] So Gromp has given us the password.

[00:16:02] Gerlaxle has given us the contact.

[00:16:05] We're not waiting on anything, are we?

[00:16:07] Nope.

[00:16:08] Besides me taking a pee.

[00:16:10] Cause he can touch a plant and fuck us off now, right?

[00:16:14] Yes.

[00:16:15] Sweet.

[00:16:16] Yeah, let me make sure that there wasn't anything else that I needed to tell you.

[00:16:19] I don't remember that thing dying at all.

[00:16:21] Do you have any magical items that would help us on our quest?

[00:16:25] No, because I know I chump blocked a whole bunch of stuff

[00:16:28] and I went down and then he healed me

[00:16:30] and I think I went down again

[00:16:32] and I know that there were like two of them

[00:16:35] that were fucking up Troy.

[00:16:36] I think Troy was the only one standing

[00:16:38] at the end of the fight or pretty close.

[00:16:39] Because when my wag guy went down,

[00:16:41] I exchanged the base for just the guy that was laying down

[00:16:43] because he was no longer attached to the base.

[00:16:45] Yeah.

[00:16:48] God damn it, I'm sorry, Lucas.

[00:16:50] It was convenient for that thing.

[00:16:53] I should have brought it back with me,

[00:16:54] but it's sitting on the table.

[00:16:55] Fuck, I forgot to glue that together.

[00:16:57] Snap.

[00:16:58] I actually think I'm out of super glue,

[00:17:00] unless there's some in the drawer with my miniature stuff.

[00:17:04] Where is Narbandell's shadow in terms drawer with my miniature stuff Where is

[00:17:05] Narbandale shadow in terms of men's Oberan's and I assume it's pretty low down. I assume it's you know, not as obviously

[00:17:14] One of the stalactites. No, it's an East mirror

[00:17:17] Okay

[00:17:19] Where are the slave pins at?

[00:17:21] Find out when you get there. Yes

[00:17:24] Well, I know he would know no

[00:17:27] I'm saying yes they're everywhere I meant isn't there like a giant

[00:17:32] collection of slave pins or a market or something I mean there's the bizarre but

[00:17:38] there's something low that's something lower level where you get a more a

[00:17:41] greater mixture of non-drow. Oh yeah, the...

[00:17:47] I mean I could pull out my copy of it and be like, yes that might be it.

[00:17:52] It's the slums, I mean it's drow, it's...

[00:17:55] That's why I was curious if Narbandell's shadow was there.

[00:17:57] No, it is not.

[00:17:59] So it is higher up.

[00:18:00] Are we concerned about a bunch of non-drow being able to get to Narbandale's shadow?

[00:18:07] I mean...

[00:18:08] Should we be concerned?

[00:18:09] Could be.

[00:18:10] Alright, okay fair.

[00:18:12] You can try and do stealth infiltration, you can play the...

[00:18:18] I'm not...

[00:18:20] You're a druid. You have pass without trace that gives you like a plus 20 to stealth.

[00:18:24] I mean, technically. Just wild shape into something. You're a druid you have pass without trace that gives you like a plus 20 to stealth mean technically

[00:18:26] Just wild shape into something if you're going with grin you could play your your his slaves

[00:18:32] Yeah, okay. Well we can talk about that when we speak to Viseron and see what he thinks yeah

[00:18:37] I just didn't know if this was something in the slums we could easily access ourselves

[00:18:40] Or if it was gonna be it sounds like it's gonna be a trial to get there

[00:18:44] It's it's to be a trek because Eastmere is like across the city from where

[00:18:51] you're coming in. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Um, now we have house badges.

[00:18:59] Why would non-drow have house badges? Because I've been trying to take them off of every

[00:19:02] fucking, you have snatched several

[00:19:05] Yeah, there's a reason why I just didn't know if us presenting house badges would actually go over well new

[00:19:12] Sometimes when you infiltrate it does

[00:19:16] So well, we're not gonna be able to just like port there. We've got to go through a specific tunnel

[00:19:21] Yeah, we can get back to we can get back to the Hall of Justice with bazaira

[00:19:24] I didn't go from there. Can you give me a quick refresher on spells and just

[00:19:32] what can be prepared because I know that I've got like I've only got like a six

[00:19:36] level spell but can I have more than one six level spell prepared and I don't

[00:19:41] have to in the barrel but you can only use one correct. Yes, okay, then I've

[00:19:46] I have one specific spell that's a sixth level spell that I want to have prepared since I know traveling back to

[00:19:52] Arrage, I mean if we take a long rest after traveling back to a Raj I can have my sixth level spell back

[00:20:00] Right now when I don't imagine travel through plants is necessarily

[00:20:05] Wouldn't be a bad thing to have but that's not just me that does it no

[00:20:09] I I apparently had a video ad pre-loaded so when I opened it up it started playing oh

[00:20:16] Okay, I guess I won't fucking check my email later. You reading your spells

[00:20:20] Swapping so out

[00:20:21] May she read them

[00:20:27] No, no he didn't bother reading them. He doesn't even know he can cast them.

[00:20:29] Those are cleric spells.

[00:20:31] I got a couple in here that I just haven't used so I'm gonna swap them out.

[00:20:34] If anybody wants dragon's wrath I can make you breathe fire.

[00:20:36] One round.

[00:20:38] Pretty sure that only works on you.

[00:20:40] Nah, I can slap anybody's back and make it happen.

[00:20:42] Really? Did you read it?

[00:20:44] Don't touch. Yeah.

[00:20:45] That's what I'm about to say.

[00:20:46] Did it say touch creature or touch self?

[00:20:48] It just says touch.

[00:20:49] If it's touch, you can touch other people.

[00:20:51] Otherwise it just...

[00:20:52] Only with consent.

[00:20:55] I don't consent!

[00:20:56] Do I have your consent to give you fire?

[00:20:58] No!

[00:20:59] Alright. Then you get the save.

[00:21:02] For all I know, fire is your people's way of saying crabs!

[00:21:07] Alright, let's fuck off.

[00:21:09] Okay, I think that's my job.

[00:21:11] Yeah, heading back to Arrage, right?

[00:21:13] Yeah.

[00:21:14] Okay.

[00:21:15] Unless there's any reason to stop in Gontalgram, but I don't think that there is.

[00:21:19] Not unless you feel like berating Bruner.

[00:21:21] That would be the only thing, would be to berate Jeff for 20 or 30 minutes as King Bruner

[00:21:25] We can do that after we win you could

[00:21:29] Yeah, sir. Okay, so if we die or if part of the party dies and we have to come back to get more. It's true

[00:21:36] It's berate him after we're victorious

[00:21:39] So going back to a Raj

[00:21:42] You go back and you tell Viserara and you're ready to go.

[00:21:45] You want to go to Menzoberazin.

[00:21:48] Yep.

[00:21:49] What are you telling him?

[00:21:53] We have some information in terms of getting, you need Grump's spell book, correct?

[00:22:00] Correct.

[00:22:01] We have some information on how we might be able to get our hands on it, but we need to

[00:22:06] get to Amenzo Barren's inn.

[00:22:08] Right.

[00:22:09] We need to get to an inn called Narbandelles Shadow.

[00:22:13] Oh, okay.

[00:22:14] Yeah.

[00:22:15] Once we get there, we should be able to meet some folks who will help us get in.

[00:22:19] Okay.

[00:22:20] Uh, Gryn will...

[00:22:24] My plan is for Ginn to go with you.

[00:22:26] Okay.

[00:22:27] Let's say, cause Viseron's not actually going with us.

[00:22:29] Oh God, no, no.

[00:22:31] Viseron's supposed to be dead.

[00:22:32] Um, Grinn will, once you're inside Sorceror, Grinn could be a huge asset to you.

[00:22:40] Keep that in mind?

[00:22:41] Uh, a member of the Council of Spiders.

[00:22:44] Really? Yeah. Yeah. of the Council of Spiders. Really?

[00:22:45] Yeah.

[00:22:46] He's a member.

[00:22:47] I'm one of the ruler, the lead members.

[00:22:51] I don't know what they'd call him, but there's a few Arc Magi.

[00:22:56] Would that be the word?

[00:22:57] Arch Magi?

[00:22:59] Yeah.

[00:23:01] That would be in charge of the Council of Spiders. Have we covered what the Council of Spiders is?

[00:23:07] No. It's a group of males who want to overthrow.

[00:23:11] Is a secret society that he's still technically a part of even though he's dead?

[00:23:18] Yep. No, no, no. Yeah, no.

[00:23:21] Cody knows what's up. Gromph mentioned them too.

[00:23:24] Yep. Is Gromph also. Graff mentioned them too. Yeah.

[00:23:25] Is a Graff also a part of them?

[00:23:27] Yes.

[00:23:28] Which is interesting.

[00:23:29] And we know that Viseron's got a thing against Graff.

[00:23:33] He's got a thing against Graff the same way...

[00:23:37] All Drow have things against a Drow.

[00:23:40] Competing high level mages have a thing against other high level competing mages.

[00:23:45] It's a dick measuring contest.

[00:23:47] Yes.

[00:23:48] It's a-

[00:23:49] That involves death.

[00:23:50] It's a, if I have the chance to kill you and take your spot, I'm going to kill you

[00:23:52] and take your spot.

[00:23:54] Would we know it's actually possible for him to take the spot not being actually there?

[00:23:59] What for a drought, I do cloak and dagger stuff and try and take control?

[00:24:04] Yeah, that sounds exactly like them.

[00:24:06] Okay.

[00:24:07] I just don't.

[00:24:08] They're both manipulating the situation.

[00:24:10] The question will be, do we trust Viseron,

[00:24:13] who has ulterior motives, or do we trust Gromp,

[00:24:16] who has ulterior motives?

[00:24:18] Neither one of them is a good choice.

[00:24:23] Both of them will be doing it to manipulate the situation.

[00:24:26] Make me an intelligence check. Anybody can, but based on the conversation that

[00:24:32] you're all having. Just straight intelligence or can we roll something

[00:24:35] else? Intelligence. Nope. This is just basic. Actually you can do intelligence or insight 18 insight okay 15 insight

[00:24:50] doesn't matter 16 intelligence cool the Zarin wants to set off a bomb in men's

[00:24:57] abarons and correct and sweep in at the end and take over, take over, or at least set up change top of the matriarchy.

[00:25:07] Exactly.

[00:25:09] So I have a question.

[00:25:11] How do we get this Aaron to not detonate the bomb in men's brands?

[00:25:19] He's planning on having you carry the bomb to place it.

[00:25:23] So we just tell him when the bomb is placed?

[00:25:25] Yeah.

[00:25:26] So, how do we keep his number two from telling him where the bomb is at?

[00:25:34] Well-

[00:25:35] Troggdorf suggests-

[00:25:36] Right now, you're not taking it to Maribeth.

[00:25:38] Men's appearance is announced.

[00:25:39] You have to get the book for them to-

[00:25:40] It's all a moot point until we get the book.

[00:25:42] Yeah, so that he can create the talism and then

[00:25:45] once he creates the talism and he's sending hey does bro do you have

[00:25:49] signaling or do you fuck do you have message what the hell is ending sending

[00:25:53] do you have sending I couldn't have sending I would ask this Aaron if there

[00:26:01] are any the warforged just broke out flags and...

[00:26:06] But he doesn't wave them with his arms.

[00:26:07] He shoots out other arms from random appendages and you expect their gadget.

[00:26:12] Are there groves of large fungus within Menzabranzan?

[00:26:16] There is actually.

[00:26:18] Donagarden.

[00:26:20] Where is that near?

[00:26:21] Can you put it on the map so we know where to run to to get out?

[00:26:23] He will pull out a map of men's

[00:26:25] A baron's in 25 words right yes

[00:26:28] memorized

[00:26:30] Can you yeah, I'll look at myself. What do you need to know I want to fuck with Jeff hey, bro

[00:26:37] Already wrote it 23 words like

[00:26:41] And okay, bro. Here's a map of men's a baron's in okay. Yeah, I can see up in here

[00:26:46] You couldn't see it if it was two feet in front of that. Oh wait. It was the West Rift right here. Yeah

[00:26:51] That's where you're coming in. Okay

[00:26:53] Donnie garden is here. Fuck. Where's source air? So Sarah's up here. Okay, so Donna garden is not an option

[00:27:00] Yes, or Sarah's right there because it's entirely across the other side. It's an option. Yes, Sorcera is right there. Because it's entirely across the other side.

[00:27:05] It's an option.

[00:27:06] It's going to take a while.

[00:27:08] This is basically the slave run farming community.

[00:27:11] Okay.

[00:27:12] I'm going to bring a...

[00:27:13] I'm going to make sure that I have something that I could potentially grow on the spot

[00:27:19] if need be.

[00:27:20] Go ahead.

[00:27:21] And actually he will tell you East Mirror is here, but Narbandale's shadow is over here

[00:27:28] overlooking the claw rift. Okay. So we're going to have to cross like almost all of

[00:27:34] men's brands and just to get a lot of it. Yeah. We need to map this size of that. I

[00:27:40] I yeah, I meant to print one out and the that printer's been down. I should have just taken it to Staples or something

[00:27:48] So am I sending a message to grumps I'm gonna write this down you're gonna put in your book

[00:27:53] We're not gonna talk about it now

[00:27:55] But I've had a genius idea for the future that I do not want to forget because I want to pull this out on Jeff

[00:28:00] Later, okay, and by put it down in my book. Where am I putting that?

[00:28:04] I'm gonna hand you this piece of paper. I don't have a book to put it down in my book, where am I putting that?

[00:28:05] I'm gonna hand you this piece of paper.

[00:28:06] I don't have a book to put it in.

[00:28:07] But that's fine, we'll figure it out.

[00:28:08] There's a book to put it in your arms.

[00:28:09] You're literally got your elbow on the book.

[00:28:10] Oh, you mean like, okay.

[00:28:12] I thought you meant like, put it in my notes.

[00:28:14] No, I mean, in your book where your character sheet is.

[00:28:16] That's fine.

[00:28:17] I don't know why I fuckin' try.

[00:28:23] Okay, well, Cody writes his note.

[00:28:25] I'm not.

[00:28:26] You keep going.

[00:28:27] This note, this note is only if we make it past the men's O'Barrons and parts.

[00:28:31] So we have to survive first.

[00:28:34] This is the Hebrew note in his breast pocket.

[00:28:37] I have to mail out.

[00:28:39] Make sure you write out the phonetic accent as you prefer.

[00:28:42] He's just trying to get over your shoulder.

[00:28:46] Kira lost her accent when we returned to this game.

[00:28:49] Shoo, shoo.

[00:28:51] He's gonna fuck me and not let me do this.

[00:28:53] But I think this is something that I would like to try.

[00:28:57] You're gonna have me send a message to him.

[00:28:59] I have to rewrite it because I put, hey bro, at the front.

[00:29:00] That limits the number of words I can use.

[00:29:04] So we're good

[00:29:06] Oh

[00:29:09] Really yeah

[00:29:12] To Elminster

[00:29:14] Hey, bro

[00:29:15] We can stop the demon invasion by summoning all the lords to one place per two drow wizards need a good location thoughts

[00:29:23] Question mark, but don't but don't

[00:29:25] we don't we want to take it to the maze engine that's what Gromp said the thing is is that

[00:29:31] do I know mister well enough to be able to send this we met him we spoke to him yeah

[00:29:37] in so if we're gonna put this up Gromp is like fucking Saruman yeah like Elminster

[00:29:44] is Gandalf yeah he introduced it because he thought it would be funny to me.

[00:29:48] So now I want you to put that in your book because we can then ask him later.

[00:29:52] Hey, this drow said this.

[00:29:54] This drow said this.

[00:29:55] We're too fucking dumb as a party to think of a better third place.

[00:29:58] Hey, NPC, what are your thoughts?

[00:30:01] Did we did we meet him in the library?

[00:30:04] Yep. Yeah. Like I said, he's

[00:30:05] the motherfucking Gandalf of Forgotten Realms. I'm the motherfucking Gandalf. Isn't he the

[00:30:14] one that's referenced in the movie too? Yes. Yeah. Several of them are actually. But he's

[00:30:19] the ancestor. Yes. Yeah. It's a good movie. I liked it. I know about I've thought about watching it just the other day, but all right your job

[00:30:30] Is to look at me. What is a now? What did I ever watch anyways? I've been watching the righteous gemstones

[00:30:37] It's hilarious, but it I expected it to be like a more a more of a flat-out comedy

[00:30:43] It's freaking dark.

[00:30:46] What is it?

[00:30:47] It's about a family of preachers and like a mega,

[00:30:51] yeah I tell them, just mega church type preachers.

[00:30:54] We were talking about fantasy stuff and I'm like,

[00:30:55] is this some sort of fantasy thing?

[00:30:56] And then I'm like, no, it's a non sequitur, okay.

[00:30:58] Third level cleric.

[00:31:00] I've watched an episode.

[00:31:01] I thought, it was the first episode.

[00:31:03] I have seeded that, Jeff.

[00:31:04] A lot of boobies. Okay. I thought it was the first episode. I have seated that Jeff. Okay

[00:31:07] I want you have time to react but not too much time to react. Okay, if we survive

[00:31:13] So yeah, let's get what's his name not Visera in the other one grin grin

[00:31:19] He's grin and archmage as well then no

[00:31:22] He is a mage but he is not on that level.

[00:31:25] It's not Tokyo Ghost, but something like that.

[00:31:27] It's not unheard of for mages to have slaves outside of...

[00:31:32] Uh, Viseron officially calls him an apprentice.

[00:31:36] Okay.

[00:31:36] No, no, no, he meant if we were to disguise ourselves as slaves.

[00:31:40] Oh, no, no, no, that wouldn't be out of line.

[00:31:43] But it'll require grin to pull it off.

[00:31:46] Because we will essentially probably be completely unarmored and unarmed and unshackled.

[00:31:52] Not necessarily, no.

[00:31:54] He could have bodyguards, I guess.

[00:31:56] Yes.

[00:31:57] Trogdor would probably make a good bodyguard.

[00:31:59] Would be probably maybe the least suspicious.

[00:32:02] Yeah, I don't know that I don't know necessarily that I would pull it off.

[00:32:06] I don't know if they would do female bodyguards.

[00:32:08] I mean, you're not not like you're wearing armor.

[00:32:10] It's true.

[00:32:11] Can can or me?

[00:32:13] Devere like do like disguise self.

[00:32:16] He could, but it's going to take days to get there.

[00:32:21] Well, that's right.

[00:32:22] Yeah.

[00:32:23] Well, and also the thing is, is that you're going to have some drow expect magic.

[00:32:28] So they're constantly looking for magic.

[00:32:30] So if we fuck around, we might find out.

[00:32:33] Yeah, probably the simplest disguise would be the easiest, which is body guard, three

[00:32:37] slaves and drow master.

[00:32:40] Okay.

[00:32:41] What are you again, Lucas?

[00:32:43] Tabaxi.

[00:32:44] No, that was, that was, that was the last one.

[00:32:46] That was the last one.

[00:32:47] I am an Elodrin.

[00:32:48] Oh, that's right.

[00:32:49] You're some other sort of emo elf.

[00:32:52] No.

[00:32:53] No, seasonal elf.

[00:32:55] Same thing.

[00:32:57] Seasonal depression.

[00:32:59] Just say it.

[00:33:00] I can actually change my season during sleep.

[00:33:01] I just never have.

[00:33:02] Because you've not played it that way yet.

[00:33:06] I wasn't in need. I don't use that power at all.

[00:33:09] Just never played that before.

[00:33:10] It has to do with when you bamf.

[00:33:13] There's like a thing that goes off.

[00:33:15] Let's do that then.

[00:33:16] Okay.

[00:33:18] Did you ever come back with any of our specialty items?

[00:33:21] I can't remember. Actually, yes.

[00:33:24] We did. That's did my class is higher.

[00:33:26] Okay. Let's be we'll tell them that we're going to Narbandale shadow. Yeah, once you're

[00:33:34] once you're hanging out with grin, he will tell you that you're lucky you got what you

[00:33:37] got because the bazaars trashed. Really? Demogorgon walked right through it. It's still not back together

[00:33:47] demogorgon

[00:33:54] Okay, I mean do either of them have a better idea than us walking through is no if that bodyguard and slaves

[00:33:56] If that's where you're going, that's where you're going

[00:34:00] Grant can help out once you get into source air I mean either way we got to walk through men's brands and to get to either the end or source air. So, well, once we talk to Bregg and Daris, it'll be

[00:34:10] it'll be different. They're going to be they'll have a much better plan than this one, theoretically.

[00:34:17] How are we walking? Are we using magic to get there? What's this path that he's got

[00:34:21] this passage? Yeah, it's a magically crafted passage through the stone.

[00:34:26] And where do we end up specifically? Like, are we

[00:34:29] gonna end up like in a blind alley? Do we end up?

[00:34:32] You enter through the West Rift.

[00:34:35] Okay, we get a cart, put the stuff on a cart, have a couple

[00:34:39] of us push it one of us chained to it, bodyguard beside it, he

[00:34:42] could ride in it.

[00:34:43] Yeah.

[00:34:44] Okay, let's go with that.

[00:34:46] That seems fairly innocuous. Okay, you have you have like, I forget how many days it takes

[00:34:52] to get from point A to point B. But I mean, it's a it's a safe path. If there's anything

[00:34:58] you want to discuss with grin along the way, if there's anything that you guys need to

[00:35:02] figure out yourselves. Now is your time to do that otherwise we're gonna skip forward to

[00:35:07] when once you get there. Grinn what's the plan to get out? We've kind of left

[00:35:14] that open because I'm not sure what the state of things are going to be when

[00:35:19] we're headed out. You're gonna plan a cave shroom and we're all gonna get out.

[00:35:22] Alright that's a backup plan.

[00:35:25] And maybe that's our plan A.

[00:35:27] I don't necessarily want that to be plan A

[00:35:29] for everybody included in this.

[00:35:30] No, I understand.

[00:35:32] I would say that Breggin to Earth is gonna be

[00:35:37] better for the infiltration and exfiltration,

[00:35:39] I would imagine.

[00:35:41] We'll see what they have, but that would be my suggestion.

[00:35:44] This is the type of shit that they do. In general, how intelligent is the common

[00:35:51] drow? The common drow? Yeah. I don't. Drow traditionally have a plus two intelligence.

[00:35:58] Okay. I would say I would say maybe slightly more than common. I'm just making sure that

[00:36:03] I've got the spell slots.

[00:36:05] Actually, in fifth edition, I don't think they do.

[00:36:07] I think it's just Dex and Charisma.

[00:36:09] Before, it was Dex, Intelligence, and Charisma.

[00:36:13] So.

[00:36:15] Dose.

[00:36:16] Two thirds and a sixth.

[00:36:19] Okay.

[00:36:19] To get out and also potentially do your plan

[00:36:22] depending on how much time we have.

[00:36:24] Or how much time we have.

[00:36:24] The plan, that plan is still in the future okay just so one third and one sixth

[00:36:30] yeah uh we have to survive first once we survive then maybe we execute that plan

[00:36:38] you're the key though you're the key master okay one third one sixth and two actions

[00:36:47] master. Okay. One third, one sixth and two actions. Gring will tell you that going into source error, we've got about a 50 50 shot of any any major that we meet in there is

[00:36:52] going to be on our side. Oh, okay. That's not bad. Like, he'll give you a yeah, like

[00:37:01] a like a hand signal or a pass phrase or something like that.

[00:37:05] That's funny, the drought do that too.

[00:37:09] So weird.

[00:37:10] He was a drought.

[00:37:11] That you can let the other members of the council know that you are there with them.

[00:37:17] And what happens if we run into one that's not on the side?

[00:37:20] You kill them.

[00:37:21] Figure it out.

[00:37:22] Pretty simple answer. Well, the thing, the thing is going into men's aberrons and or into source air.

[00:37:31] If you're going to kill somebody, you better do it quick and quiet.

[00:37:35] Okay.

[00:37:36] Because we do not want to draw any attention to ourselves.

[00:37:39] If we do not.

[00:37:40] So not a fireball then fires not not out of place in

[00:37:48] men's aberrands and but it's it's a huge dark cavern. There's

[00:37:53] some light but if somebody sets off a fireball everybody sees it.

[00:37:59] That makes sense.

[00:38:00] So no sunbeam got it. So you can't light up your thing your glaive. Thanks. I look

[00:38:09] And yeah, you can possible

[00:38:19] Just remember I can read

[00:38:22] Said just remember I can reincarnate you oh,.W.A.T. Said just remember I can reincarnate you. Oh yeah?

[00:38:26] Where were you last game?

[00:38:29] Plot twist, it was him!

[00:38:31] Aha!

[00:38:33] Okay, let's get to Le Bar

[00:38:36] unless anyone else has any other questions.

[00:38:38] Just grab a pint and wait for it all to blow over.

[00:38:40] I did not shake that up.

[00:38:44] You're gonna shake it like a Polaroid picture Jeff.

[00:38:46] That's hard to do with a water bottle. Sounds like you're not trying hard

[00:38:51] enough. No I don't want to damage your mic. Start swinging it around. Shit just

[00:38:58] flies everywhere. Yeah. Okay so you guys are ready you're all good no more

[00:39:04] questions no more talk no more more talk, no more planning,

[00:39:05] no more anything like that.

[00:39:08] Adventure.

[00:39:09] Sweet.

[00:39:10] You guys, after a few days of travel, you guys emerge out of this tunnel.

[00:39:15] Lucas, did you fix your spells?

[00:39:18] I'm just checking.

[00:39:19] I swelled the couple out.

[00:39:21] Okay, make sure he was done.

[00:39:22] You know you have to prepare them, right?

[00:39:26] Don't wave your spell book at me.

[00:39:27] There's like 80 cards in there.

[00:39:28] It doesn't work that way.

[00:39:29] Now move the ones that are prepped to the front.

[00:39:30] Alright.

[00:39:31] Sure you get.

[00:39:33] I just don't trust my spellcaster.

[00:39:35] That's all.

[00:39:36] I don't either.

[00:39:37] I added hold person, does that help?

[00:39:41] I don't know.

[00:39:42] It depends on what you're casting on.

[00:39:44] I got hold person and whole monster prepped.

[00:39:46] See, that's planning.

[00:39:48] See?

[00:39:51] Can you cast both of them?

[00:39:52] Not at the same time.

[00:39:54] That's shockingly more than I expected out of you.

[00:39:56] Do you know why you can't do it at the same time?

[00:40:00] It's concentration.

[00:40:00] Oh, man, coming up in the world.

[00:40:03] That's what the big C on the side of the car is for

[00:40:07] you got some message weird I always thought it stood for country wizard does

[00:40:15] it this is weird so you guys emerge from this tunnel through a cut door in the stone and the ground just

[00:40:29] cuts off in front of you.

[00:40:31] And we die.

[00:40:33] End of game, guys.

[00:40:35] It opens out into the side of a giant rift in the ground.

[00:40:41] You look up and you're about 60 feet down from the surface of this of this chasm and you can see a small lip come out from the door and a set of

[00:40:49] stairs go up. I didn't think when you meant in the great rift you meant in the

[00:40:57] great rift. That's literally what we said. There's a joke in here about Jehovah

[00:41:04] begins with an eye but I'm just to climb the fucking ladder. Yep, there's totally a hidden bridge there. Roll out onto it. Jump. It's a leap of faith, man.

[00:41:18] Climbing up, what other options are there? Who's going first? What's going second? Well, I assume grims going first because he would have been leading us. I

[00:41:27] don't assume that there's a lot of is our platform here where we

[00:41:29] can like move around each other and decide without falling to

[00:41:32] our death. No, there is a single file pathway. So somebody's

[00:41:36] going first. I would vote grin and then trogdor and then the

[00:41:40] three of us. Do you need us to put us in a line on the thing?

[00:41:43] Is that what you're trying the thing? No. Okay.

[00:41:45] Nope.

[00:41:45] He just wants to decide who sees what first.

[00:41:47] That's fair.

[00:41:48] I'll go third.

[00:41:50] Okay.

[00:41:54] Grin starts his way up.

[00:41:57] I'll go fourth so I can stabs Luke's in the ass

[00:41:58] with something.

[00:41:59] Okay.

[00:42:00] Light it up.

[00:42:01] I guess I'll go second so when I fall back down the stairs

[00:42:03] I crush him with my shell.

[00:42:04] Sweet. Light it up. I guess I'll go second so when I fall back downstairs I crush him with my shell.

[00:42:05] Sweet.

[00:42:06] Where's your guardian?

[00:42:08] Did we decide whether or not it was alive?

[00:42:12] He's next to me.

[00:42:14] Two bodyguards.

[00:42:16] Cool.

[00:42:17] Okay.

[00:42:18] Is somebody other than you able to store a spell in that thing?

[00:42:21] I don't know.

[00:42:22] You fucking had him forever. Nobody else was willing to try to put a spell in that thing? I don't know you fucking had him forever. Nobody else was willing

[00:42:25] to try to put a spell in it. I think it has to be the person who's wearing the amulet.

[00:42:31] That would make sense but I could be wrong. Give me the amulet back. What kind of spell you want to

[00:42:37] put in it? Not one I want Jeff to know that's in it. Oh that makes sense. But it would be a six level spell.

[00:42:51] Yes, it has to be the person who's wearing the amulet. You good? I mean, yes or no.

[00:42:55] Okay. Just make sure my last recording is a good one, Jeff. Okay.

[00:43:05] Grin makes his way up to the surface, stops, peeks around, heads up. I would push Troggdorf to follow him

[00:43:10] And I would follow after I push you to follow him push me

[00:43:13] Dex save

[00:43:16] Fireball Is an actual deck save or you just beat a twat? I'm just being a twat

[00:43:19] I assumed unless you guys are really gonna start a shoving match on this little platform

[00:43:24] Maybe fun. He was just looking down at his phone. So I was

[00:43:28] Pushing him alone. Do you want to wear the amulet to put something in there? I mean I could

[00:43:35] Literally asked you guys three times before we got to this point if there's any more planning you want to do

[00:43:40] Have you ever played a game with us? Yep, I have and that's why I made sure and ask. We can still do it now. No. I mean, I already know what it is. To take it a tune.

[00:43:49] Right. But he's gonna, if he's gonna cast a spell in it now, he's gonna burn a spell

[00:43:53] slot walking in here. That's true. I can't burn a six level spell slot. It's our escape

[00:43:58] route. So okay. So you get up to the surface level. You see a surface level above this giant rift into the wall.

[00:44:10] Correct.

[00:44:11] Well, into the floor and into the wall.

[00:44:15] You see on your right a massive dilapidated what you would think is a high house come

[00:44:31] Not completely in ruins. It looks like some rebuilding has been going on there marking markings

[00:44:34] Yes, there are definitely markings

[00:44:37] Can we read them? I was curious what house here us know

[00:44:40] Whose house? Swerves, huh? What are the markings in they would be in drow a

[00:44:45] Dialect of your common elven is that not under come no, okay

[00:44:49] I mean you can ask grin about it, but you're going to be

[00:44:54] Slowing the movement not not even slowing the movement asking questions that slave shouldn't be asking exactly how alike elven would it be?

[00:45:04] I would give you an intelligence check to understand it Exactly. How alike Elvin would it be?

[00:45:05] I would give you an intelligence check to understand it.

[00:45:10] Probably not.

[00:45:11] Okay.

[00:45:12] Yeah, I'm honestly not even sure how the symbols would work if you could spell things out phonetically

[00:45:15] or what.

[00:45:16] And like, that looks like a T. Sort of.

[00:45:19] Alright.

[00:45:20] Shut in my mouth.

[00:45:22] Now see, if Mulvayis was still here, he'd know it, but...

[00:45:28] But you killed him on a wrong technicality.

[00:45:29] Yeah, I know.

[00:45:30] I'm a dick.

[00:45:33] Beyond the how...

[00:45:34] Beyond this...

[00:45:35] I didn't say that.

[00:45:36] Huh?

[00:45:37] Nothing?

[00:45:38] Okay, I'm talking to you.

[00:45:39] Beyond this dilapidated house, you see a massive forest, a fungus forest covered in webs. Beyond that you see

[00:45:48] a massive pillar going up to the ceiling. A bright red glow about halfway down. Okay.

[00:45:57] I'm not asking questions. I'm a good slave. I'm schlepping stuff in my pack. We're all

[00:46:02] part of a party. Fucking play the game.

[00:46:05] No, he told me not to ask questions.

[00:46:07] I mean, at this point, you guys are on.

[00:46:11] And pop.

[00:46:12] Whoa is me.

[00:46:14] My life is so tragic under my drow suppressors.

[00:46:17] Yeah, I mean, everybody give me a group charisma check.

[00:46:21] I sing them.

[00:46:23] I sing a song. A group deception check. I sing them I sing a song

[00:46:25] This group deception check. Oh

[00:46:28] No, is that one person rolling or all of us wrong? That's all of us rolling. I including grin

[00:46:35] 20

[00:46:39] Tell you one thing giant fighter barbarians are really good at

[00:46:43] We got a problem guys only half of you need to

[00:46:46] pass I rolled a 10 it's not on this side

[00:46:49] of the table I got a 2 I also rolled a

[00:46:54] 2 is that with your charisma yeah go

[00:46:57] sweet Christmas my dump step you have a

[00:46:59] thing that lets people reroll so he can

[00:47:01] add to add to text to add to adding to

[00:47:06] it who's not gonna do much. I rolled a 10. You rolled a 10. Is

[00:47:11] that with your charisma? With charisma or deception? Yeah,

[00:47:14] there's a deception. Yes. Sorry.

[00:47:19] Earlier, you said charisma check. And then he's deception.

[00:47:22] And I got confused. Oh, you actually have a plastic rizma

[00:47:25] sweet

[00:47:27] Would you roll Troy? So are you setting up the whole wagon? Oh, yeah. No hundred percent. Okay

[00:47:33] Probably since I'm trying to be innocuous. I'm probably literally oh

[00:47:37] Whoa is me you could flash a genius Lucas and maybe he'll actually pass I imagine attends not passing

[00:47:42] And maybe he'll actually pass. I imagine a 10 is not passing.

[00:47:44] With my rolled one, I'm probably singing a dwarven song of freedom.

[00:47:50] What did the other dude roll?

[00:47:52] He seems to be pulling it off.

[00:47:55] Troy's looking something up.

[00:47:58] I just imagine Kira is just too outspoken for this to work.

[00:48:02] I imagine like, Ertland like mut this to work. I imagine like,

[00:48:05] Ertland like mutters to himself,

[00:48:08] like his own thoughts.

[00:48:10] So that's-

[00:48:11] Gotta keep calm.

[00:48:11] That's part of why-

[00:48:12] Don't give away the plan.

[00:48:14] Don't let him know that you're,

[00:48:15] don't let him know you're infiltrating.

[00:48:16] Ertland, you know this isn't your thing.

[00:48:18] You just gotta try your best.

[00:48:20] You can do it buddy, come on.

[00:48:21] You know?

[00:48:22] Just keep, just, just, just,

[00:48:24] mutter spells out loud

[00:48:25] and think about them.

[00:48:26] They'll keep your mind to these.

[00:48:28] So yeah, I would add five to your roll.

[00:48:29] She's, I think Kari's singing.

[00:48:32] Negative 15.

[00:48:33] Sweet.

[00:48:34] A classic dwarven song.

[00:48:35] Yeah.

[00:48:36] Yeah.

[00:48:38] Diggy diggy hole.

[00:48:39] Diggy diggy hole.

[00:48:40] I knew it was coming.

[00:48:42] I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole.

[00:48:45] Like what the fuck?

[00:48:47] It's madness madness.

[00:48:50] Too much fairs.

[00:48:53] Okay.

[00:48:56] Okay.

[00:48:57] You guys start making your way through the city.

[00:48:59] Um, your charisma checks decent.

[00:49:02] You had three passes, so that's enough to get by.

[00:49:05] You're not, you're not actively drawing attention to yourself.

[00:49:09] Diggy diggy.

[00:49:15] Eventually pushing the shit out of this cart, Jeff, you cross,

[00:49:21] you cross into what Grinton will tell you is Westfall.

[00:49:25] Okay, it's mostly it's mostly residential, a little, little bit higher than the slums

[00:49:32] but not high end.

[00:49:36] You you come across what looks like a it's a drow beating a slave.

[00:49:43] There's other slaves standing around laughing.

[00:49:48] This is what you see going on.

[00:49:50] Ertland particularly watches Kira because he's like ready to grab her.

[00:49:56] Are we rolling on or are we reacting?

[00:49:59] I don't see how Kira doesn't react. I don't know if Kira can restrain herself,

[00:50:05] but I suppose she will try.

[00:50:08] Make a wisdom save.

[00:50:10] I'm real good at those, Jeff.

[00:50:13] A 19.

[00:50:15] I need to check some.

[00:50:15] That's pretty good.

[00:50:17] You can hold it together if you want to.

[00:50:19] I don't want to have to use my whole person on you.

[00:50:22] Yeah.

[00:50:24] As a slave, you shouldn't be casting spells.

[00:50:26] Also, just a thought.

[00:50:29] Lucas goes, wizard!

[00:50:31] Ha ha ha ha!

[00:50:37] See, guys, I prevented him from outing us.

[00:50:41] You dumb ass!

[00:50:43] I'm not happy about it, but I suppose I will keep myself in check.

[00:50:48] Okay.

[00:50:49] There are greater things going on here that we have to accomplish.

[00:50:52] As you pass, you notice that it is a female dwarf and as you're pulling away, you see

[00:50:58] the other slaves pick her up and go to toss her into the rift there she goes you dick okay rolling on it's everybody's

[00:51:16] passive perceptions just no wait no you never mind I was gonna say sunny but not in LBS anymore. 1717 1516 Okay, because it's 10 plus right? Yeah, 10 plus your wisdom

[00:51:33] modifier 10 plus the skill modifier. Just as if you rolled a 10 on a perception check.

[00:51:39] Gotcha. Yeah, I'm sure it's on here. I'm just don't know if see where it is on Dave sheet. I am definitely

[00:51:45] like I have a spell ready to go in case I need to use it in case somebody from the group

[00:51:50] acts out. Okay. Yeah.

[00:51:56] As you're crossing through the edge of Westfall. You see ahead of you, you see the remains

[00:52:03] of the bazaar. bizarre pretty bizarre a bizarre

[00:52:07] bazaar it is actually because it's deserted i mean you can see like a full swath of destruction

[00:52:14] through through the through the center of it um something walk through here and shredded it and Shreditor.
