Dungeon Crawl Classics - Veiled Vaults of the Onyx Queen 01

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

[00:00:03] DUNGEON FALLS!

[00:00:39] You goddamn prick!

[00:00:42] So, we are about to start DCC. We got characters, I need to know what they are.

[00:00:49] Uh, do you want punny names or do you want to save those for another time?

[00:00:53] I don't care.

[00:00:54] Would you like me to start, Jeff?

[00:00:55] I don't give a shit, somebody talk.

[00:00:57] Okay, Jeff is in a mood, audience, so this oughta be great.

[00:01:00] I have, uh, what all do you want?

[00:01:06] I wanna know your profession, I wanna know your name.

[00:01:09] Alright, alright.

[00:01:10] I have a minstrel.

[00:01:11] Uh, he is, his name is Lonnie Tames Rio.

[00:01:15] I have a mendicant, which is a religious beggar.

[00:01:20] Uh, Jesus Christ.

[00:01:21] Um, I have an armorer who is particularly unwitty, um, and you guys should hope doesn't

[00:01:27] last long.

[00:01:28] Uh, I have named him Bumbus Philbert.

[00:01:31] And I have a woodcutter, uh, who goes by the name Jimmethy Steele.

[00:01:36] Nice.

[00:01:37] IHL.

[00:01:38] Okay.

[00:01:39] What do you got, Spencer?

[00:01:41] Uh, first up is a halfling haberdasher named Lin-Mo Fastpot.

[00:01:46] Uh, it's chaotic, motherfucker with a pair of scissors ready to cut your ass up.

[00:01:51] Oh yeah, hang on Spencer, I'm sorry, what are your alignments?

[00:01:55] My alignments are, uh, Lonnie Rio is, you know, Rio is obviously chaotic.

[00:01:59] Yeah.

[00:02:00] I mean that makes sense.

[00:02:01] Uh, cheese-dice rice, also chaotic.

[00:02:03] Um, I think just because to me, so he's cheese-dice rice because his starting equipment is cheese

[00:02:10] dip in a holy symbol.

[00:02:11] So I don't know how much the holy symbol really applies.

[00:02:16] Like he says he's religious, but I get the sense he's religious like the guy who

[00:02:20] says the sky is falling.

[00:02:21] You know what I mean?

[00:02:22] Okay, yeah.

[00:02:23] Um, Bumbus Philbert is neutral.

[00:02:24] Uh, Jimmethy Steal the Woodcutter is lawful.

[00:02:26] Okay.

[00:02:27] Nice.

[00:02:28] Go right ahead.

[00:02:29] Uh, my second character is a young beekeeper named Zora Lawson.

[00:02:33] She had honey.

[00:02:34] Uh, a large pot of honey, but then I wanted to break it up.

[00:02:39] I got greedy.

[00:02:40] I wanted to break it up into multiple pots of honey to try to use it as bargaining

[00:02:43] chips.

[00:02:44] Uh, and Jeff made me roll and I rolled poorly.

[00:02:47] So now I have no honey.

[00:02:48] You rolled a critical fail on a luck roll.

[00:02:51] Yeah.

[00:02:52] Yeah.

[00:02:53] I had a honey pot before he ever got to the game.

[00:02:55] Yeah, sure did.

[00:02:57] It was great.

[00:02:58] My next character is full Chavon.

[00:03:00] He's a shaman with a righteous heart, heart of gold.

[00:03:05] And then, uh, Ernimer, Stormanville, a lawful dwarven stoneman with a hammer.

[00:03:14] What was the, what were the alignments of the middle two?

[00:03:16] Yeah.

[00:03:17] Yeah.

[00:03:18] The shaman is neutral and the beekeeper is lawful because there's an order.

[00:03:21] Yeah, there's an order to things.

[00:03:24] I get that.

[00:03:25] Uh, I have a lawful turnip farmer named Rudy Begga.

[00:03:30] Nice.

[00:03:31] A neutral rope maker.

[00:03:35] His name is Don Knottz.

[00:03:37] Solid.

[00:03:38] He's fucking solid.

[00:03:40] Uh, chaotic trapper named John.

[00:03:43] Damn it.

[00:03:45] And a lawful soldier.

[00:03:46] His name is Steve Rogers.

[00:03:48] Yeah.

[00:03:49] Yeah.

[00:03:50] Nice.

[00:03:51] You guys are all on your way to the castle of Queen Yoris.

[00:03:59] She is calling together the, the top of the different occupations, the different, the beekeepers.

[00:04:08] You're the best in the land.

[00:04:09] So why were we called?

[00:04:10] Yeah, I know, right?

[00:04:12] I want everybody to roll D8.

[00:04:14] Um, there's information that you may have based on what you roll.

[00:04:19] Just one?

[00:04:21] I don't care.

[00:04:22] Two, eight.

[00:04:24] I rolled just one.

[00:04:25] Cody, since the death of her beloved and only nephew more than 30 years ago, the Queen has

[00:04:29] not been seen in public.

[00:04:31] Huh?

[00:04:32] Uh, you rolled an eight?

[00:04:34] Yes, sir.

[00:04:35] That would be, although the royal courtiers claimed to be inviting only those villagers,

[00:04:40] most prestigious in their chosen occupation, to attend the palace during the celebration.

[00:04:45] You know of a few villagers who have been chosen despite not being very good at their jobs.

[00:04:50] Okay, good.

[00:04:51] What was the Queen's name again?

[00:04:53] Yoris.

[00:04:54] Y-O-R-O-S.

[00:04:55] What did you roll?

[00:04:57] A two.

[00:04:58] An old man swears her mother often spoke of attending an Onyx Jubilee when she was

[00:05:03] a young girl.

[00:05:04] That's the name of the thing you're attending, the Onyx Jubilee.

[00:05:06] Ah, you're all called in.

[00:05:08] You're all marched into the, into the castle.

[00:05:11] You're all welcomed in.

[00:05:13] You're brought, brought into a feast?

[00:05:16] I brought dip.

[00:05:17] You brought dip?

[00:05:18] It's pretty big for me, I'm a beggar.

[00:05:19] I brought chalk.

[00:05:20] Um, I had honey.

[00:05:22] I swear it was really good.

[00:05:24] My babies worked so hard.

[00:05:25] I had honey.

[00:05:28] During the meal they call for a toast.

[00:05:30] Everybody raises a glass and then you wake up and you are in a dark room and it

[00:05:37] feels like there are people laying on top of you.

[00:05:40] Nice.

[00:05:41] It feels like it or there are people laying on top of us.

[00:05:46] No, there's probably people laying on top of you.

[00:05:49] Not moving.

[00:05:50] Uh, that's nice.

[00:05:52] I tried to move.

[00:05:53] You could move.

[00:05:54] Move people.

[00:05:55] You got a hell of a headache.

[00:05:56] Like do I feel a bump on my head?

[00:05:57] Nope, you don't.

[00:05:58] You have a nasty taste in your mouth though.

[00:06:01] Can I tell, is it how light is it?

[00:06:05] Can I see, what can I see?

[00:06:06] Uh, no, it's actually pretty dark.

[00:06:08] Like what does perception go off of in this game?

[00:06:13] I would probably say intelligence.

[00:06:15] Sure, make an intelligence roll.

[00:06:16] Just how aware you are.

[00:06:18] I would go with a party intelligence if all the characters are in the same place.

[00:06:22] That way only is why I want to play.

[00:06:24] You're all in the same place but you don't really, you're all kind of waking up.

[00:06:27] You don't realize whether or not you're in there alone or not.

[00:06:31] Okay.

[00:06:32] What'd you roll?

[00:06:34] 12.

[00:06:35] So yeah, that passes for three of my four characters.

[00:06:39] You guys will say that you, it's a party roll.

[00:06:42] I don't care how it goes.

[00:06:44] You definitely hear movement and you can see the shifting of a like probably a torch in

[00:06:51] not too far distant but outside the room you're in.

[00:06:55] Boy, been a while since I've had this kind of a party.

[00:07:01] Holy Moses.

[00:07:03] Can we hear that?

[00:07:05] Did I hear that?

[00:07:06] Yes.

[00:07:07] Okay, so I know there's other people around here.

[00:07:09] I'm not the only one.

[00:07:12] Do you probably say there's roughly 12 of us conscious?

[00:07:16] Yeah.

[00:07:17] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:07:18] Water servant.

[00:07:19] Jays.

[00:07:20] Oh, I've attended some raucous parties but...

[00:07:25] It sounds like the shifting shuffling noise that you heard is moving into the room.

[00:07:30] What do you guys do?

[00:07:32] Oh shit.

[00:07:35] I had a candle on me.

[00:07:36] Yeah, we need light.

[00:07:38] It's Lonnie Rio who is speaking who is well used to drunken and debauchery, unremembering.

[00:07:45] So that's what he assumes is going on.

[00:07:46] He's going to start feeling around to try and see if he can find his candle and maybe

[00:07:50] a match or a tinderbox.

[00:07:51] Yeah, and I'd say Lin Mo would grab his lantern and light it.

[00:07:57] Make a luck roll.

[00:07:59] Isn't this one that could easily pass, Spencer?

[00:08:05] So I need to roll under?

[00:08:06] Under.

[00:08:07] I rolled a two, yeah.

[00:08:08] Nice.

[00:08:09] Yeah, you find it laying on the ground next to you.

[00:08:10] Awesome.

[00:08:11] Your candle, I'm sure is in a satchel or something like that.

[00:08:16] It's on you.

[00:08:17] Look for a way to light it.

[00:08:19] There's a torch outside of the room that way.

[00:08:22] It looks like it's moving towards the door.

[00:08:24] So the torch is moving.

[00:08:25] Yes.

[00:08:26] I'm serving some light, please.

[00:08:27] I should find my pants.

[00:08:29] Cool.

[00:08:30] Roll for initiative.

[00:08:31] Do you want me to move it along?

[00:08:33] Hey, I didn't ask you to do anything.

[00:08:36] No, no, Troy did.

[00:08:37] Okay.

[00:08:38] Troy specifically said...

[00:08:39] We've been playing this game for two minutes.

[00:08:40] You're moving it along!

[00:08:41] Let's go!

[00:08:42] Initiative.

[00:08:43] Oh, I didn't describe... well, you're not lit yet.

[00:08:48] So lit.

[00:08:49] Yeah, we are so lit actually.

[00:08:51] We had a great drunken debauchery party.

[00:08:53] The Queen's probably in this pile somewhere.

[00:08:56] Probably rolling initiative is based off of agility, right?

[00:08:58] You want part...

[00:08:59] Correct.

[00:09:00] So roll one for your best.

[00:09:01] Yeah.

[00:09:02] I got a 16, Jeff.

[00:09:03] I got a five.

[00:09:05] I also got a 16.

[00:09:06] I'm at a plus one.

[00:09:08] I am also at a plus one.

[00:09:10] Troy can go first.

[00:09:11] I can go first.

[00:09:13] My highest stamina is 16.

[00:09:15] That matters.

[00:09:16] Your stamina score is higher than mine.

[00:09:18] Okay, Troy, you are a first initiative.

[00:09:21] What do you do?

[00:09:22] A 16 would be a plus two by the way.

[00:09:24] Oh, you're right.

[00:09:25] It is.

[00:09:26] So it would be 17.

[00:09:28] So Steve Rogers will reach for his shield.

[00:09:32] Make a luck roll.

[00:09:36] So D20 roll under.

[00:09:38] Yep.

[00:09:39] Yep.

[00:09:40] Eight under 13.

[00:09:41] You find it lying underneath what feels like a couple of bodies.

[00:09:46] Nice.

[00:09:48] And can I also reach for my spear?

[00:09:51] You can make a luck roll.

[00:09:54] Nine under 13.

[00:09:55] There you go.

[00:09:56] The spear I'm just holding, not aggressively but just holding.

[00:10:00] You're laying on the ground at the moment.

[00:10:02] Oh, I'm laying on the ground.

[00:10:04] You did just wake up.

[00:10:05] Okay.

[00:10:06] I thought we were...

[00:10:08] I said it was moving, but okay.

[00:10:10] You can stand up.

[00:10:11] No, I will just grip my spear and sort of have it at the ready to lift up if need

[00:10:19] be, but I'm going to play dead.

[00:10:22] You are going to play dead?

[00:10:23] Okay.

[00:10:25] What about your other three characters?

[00:10:27] Yes.

[00:10:28] All right.

[00:10:29] Well, no probably not.

[00:10:30] Trepper John is going to go for his sling.

[00:10:33] Okay.

[00:10:34] Roll for that.

[00:10:35] Nope.

[00:10:36] It's in your pocket.

[00:10:37] And like sit in like a back corner like...

[00:10:41] Make an agility roll.

[00:10:44] Agility.

[00:10:45] Not great.

[00:10:46] It's a 10.

[00:10:49] Okay.

[00:10:50] Cody.

[00:10:51] Lonnie Thames Rio is going to reach to the nearest body.

[00:10:57] Oh, I love.

[00:11:01] And try and push her or him off.

[00:11:04] He's also trying to establish who or what this warm body might be.

[00:11:09] No, cold and kind of stiff.

[00:11:11] It's unusual, but he's done that before too.

[00:11:14] I don't like where this came from.

[00:11:19] So he will push the presumable corpse off hell of a party and reach for his concealed dagger.

[00:11:32] Okay.

[00:11:33] And yeah, he will go ahead and stand up, but he's trying to get the dagger to the dagger

[00:11:39] that is concealed in his belt.

[00:11:41] Okay.

[00:11:42] Jesus Rice will just sit up.

[00:11:45] He's not got anything going on.

[00:11:46] Flynn would be proud.

[00:11:47] Yeah, I figured he would.

[00:11:49] Does anybody have any dip?

[00:11:50] My armorer will just stand up and look around, and the woodcutter will reach for his axe.

[00:11:57] Megaloc roll.

[00:12:00] That is a 15 over 12.

[00:12:02] So no, no axe.

[00:12:05] Shit.

[00:12:06] Okay, there's mine.

[00:12:08] Spencer.

[00:12:09] So I'd say Lin Mo will the halfling will say, oh, this, where am I?

[00:12:19] And he'll light his lantern and just see what does he see?

[00:12:24] He sees a pile of corpses.

[00:12:26] Oh, so that's and he'll probably some of me recognize from the banquet.

[00:12:31] Oh my.

[00:12:32] And he'll he'll pop up and just kind of try to run away from the bodies instinctually

[00:12:37] running towards wherever the bodies aren't the back of the room or whatever the bodies

[00:12:42] aren't back to room.

[00:12:44] Okay.

[00:12:45] First time in an orgy love.

[00:12:49] Zora will reach for her staff.

[00:12:53] Megaloc roll.

[00:12:56] Come on.

[00:12:58] Yep.

[00:12:59] 11 under 17

[00:13:01] and use it to kind of just prop herself up and go, oh, my head hurts.

[00:13:07] What's going on?

[00:13:09] And she'll, does she see the light?

[00:13:12] The land, the she sees the torch and she goes, hello, who's there?

[00:13:17] Does she get a response?

[00:13:18] Maybe on their turn.

[00:13:20] Talk is a free speed is a free action.

[00:13:23] Build suspense Troy.

[00:13:26] Full the shaman will groan and say, oh man, that is the worst shit I've ever had.

[00:13:36] Man, and reach for his mace.

[00:13:38] That's right.

[00:13:39] Megaloc roll like the spray kind or the metal kind.

[00:13:44] Five under 14.

[00:13:46] You got your characters have decent luck.

[00:13:49] Yeah, they all have negative one stamina.

[00:13:51] Well, actually three of mine have decent luck.

[00:13:55] One does not.

[00:13:56] Nice.

[00:13:57] And the dwarf will pop up and immediately look for his fine stone is it is it's 10 pounds.

[00:14:08] So it's pretty, pretty large, but it means a lot to him.

[00:14:11] It's something he would carry in a pocket or a bag, right?

[00:14:14] Yeah.

[00:14:15] Yeah.

[00:14:16] Okay, that's all he gives a shit about.

[00:14:17] You don't give a fuck about anything else.

[00:14:18] He kicks the dead body off like it's nothing.

[00:14:21] That's my action.

[00:14:23] Well, you know, he'll just make sure he has his hammer.

[00:14:29] It's gone.

[00:14:30] Okay.

[00:14:33] You guys heard the movement.

[00:14:34] You can see the torch kind of bobbing as it's moving towards the door.

[00:14:37] As it gets closer, you can hear the sound of like a the wheels of a wheelbarrow type

[00:14:44] thing being rolled in and you see these these guys in ropes hoods up.

[00:14:50] But the faces just don't make sense.

[00:14:53] It's jackal like they.

[00:14:55] They they see the ones of you that are moving and just start jabbering like what did they

[00:15:01] what's it say?

[00:15:02] Suddenly the road figures close upon you with unnatural swiftness to holding like a like

[00:15:07] blood mad hyenas.

[00:15:09] They lurch forward with hook talents held high.

[00:15:13] Is it a jackal?

[00:15:14] It's a jackal.

[00:15:15] Jackal.

[00:15:16] I don't think this is food service, boys.

[00:15:20] So your guys were all laying down right?

[00:15:23] All but Trapper John.

[00:15:24] He was reading a sling.

[00:15:26] Oh, that's right.

[00:15:28] Yeah, you definitely see him coming.

[00:15:30] One of them is well lit and looks scary.

[00:15:33] Yeah, and he's carrying a wheelbarrow full of bodies.

[00:15:36] No, it's an empty wheelbarrow.

[00:15:38] Even more not quite carrying it.

[00:15:42] Right.

[00:15:43] It's really impressive when you carry your wheelbarrow.

[00:15:46] Just showing off at that point.

[00:15:48] I roll to release sling.

[00:15:50] Go for it.

[00:15:54] I roll D24.

[00:15:55] He's not really expecting it.

[00:15:57] Oh, sweet.

[00:15:58] Nice.

[00:15:59] And I add agility?

[00:16:00] Yes.

[00:16:01] Oh, for 24.

[00:16:03] Modified 24.

[00:16:04] But what did you actually roll?

[00:16:06] I rolled 23.

[00:16:07] That's still a crit.

[00:16:08] That's still a crit.

[00:16:09] Yeah, that's a crit.

[00:16:10] Your crit range is 28 above.

[00:16:12] Oh, fuck me.

[00:16:14] So what's your crit table?

[00:16:15] Oh no, we're zero level characters so it should all be on the same crit table.

[00:16:19] I think his crit table 3, 4.

[00:16:22] It'd be the lowest one.

[00:16:23] You're going to roll like a D20 modified by something.

[00:16:28] I don't remember.

[00:16:29] Luck, I think.

[00:16:30] A D4 on crit table 1.

[00:16:32] Oh, it's the weapon, isn't it?

[00:16:34] It's not a D20.

[00:16:35] No, it's just a flat D4.

[00:16:37] For zero level?

[00:16:38] Yes.

[00:16:39] Okay.

[00:16:40] Two.

[00:16:41] What's your luck?

[00:16:42] My luck is plus one.

[00:16:44] So it's a three.

[00:16:45] Okay.

[00:16:46] Stunning crack to the forehead.

[00:16:47] Inflict.

[00:16:48] An extra 1D3 damage with this strike and the foe falls to the bottom.

[00:16:52] To the bottom of the initiative.

[00:16:54] Count next round where he already is.

[00:16:57] Additional D3s, two.

[00:16:59] With the D4 or whatever the damage for a sling is?

[00:17:02] So altogether, am I adding the luck?

[00:17:05] No.

[00:17:06] Oh.

[00:17:07] So it's four damage altogether.

[00:17:08] D3 and D4.

[00:17:09] Okay.

[00:17:10] Do you have a plus to agility?

[00:17:11] Five altogether.

[00:17:13] So five damage.

[00:17:14] Right, agility in both of those rolls?

[00:17:16] Just one roll.

[00:17:17] No, just once.

[00:17:18] Okay, so five.

[00:17:19] You crack it in the skull and it drops and drops the wheelbarrow.

[00:17:23] That it was carrying.

[00:17:25] You know what I fucking meant.

[00:17:27] Sorry.

[00:17:28] Yes, but it's going to be a joke this entire session so get used to it.

[00:17:33] Trapper John was the only one of yours up?

[00:17:35] Yes.

[00:17:36] All of yours got up right?

[00:17:38] Spencer?

[00:17:39] Yeah.

[00:17:40] And everybody of Grady's got up.

[00:17:43] The wood cutter laid down but the other three did get up.

[00:17:47] The only one who's really clever enough to think something might be up would be Lonnie

[00:17:50] Tames-Rio.

[00:17:51] He was the one going for his dagger.

[00:17:53] Okay.

[00:17:54] Jeff did not make me roll four.

[00:17:57] No, it would have been carried.

[00:17:59] Even or odd?

[00:18:00] You are much nicer than that.

[00:18:02] When I ran this they woke up with fuck all and continued to have fuck all the entire

[00:18:07] time.

[00:18:08] Yeah, I know.

[00:18:10] Character number two.

[00:18:11] Which one is that?

[00:18:12] Of the ones standing up or just character number two of the four?

[00:18:16] Of the ones standing up.

[00:18:18] That would be Jesus Rized.

[00:18:19] Jesus Rized.

[00:18:20] One of these guys comes tearing into the room and goes directly for your throat.

[00:18:25] Excuse me brother, do you know the healing power of the various Jesus?

[00:18:28] I can talk him down.

[00:18:30] Okay, how to create fumble tables work?

[00:18:35] Fuck yeah.

[00:18:36] Let's go.

[00:18:37] What do I roll?

[00:18:38] The foam ball, the die roll on the table depends on the character's armor.

[00:18:42] Are they wearing armor?

[00:18:43] No.

[00:18:44] D4.

[00:18:45] D4 plus luck.

[00:18:47] You see him trip as he runs in and he will be down for a round.

[00:18:52] The second one goes after character number two of Spencer's.

[00:18:57] Okay, that is Zora.

[00:18:59] Zora.

[00:19:00] That is an 11 to hit.

[00:19:02] Serpentine, serpentine.

[00:19:04] That hits?

[00:19:05] Yeah, that hits.

[00:19:06] Okay.

[00:19:07] That's not good.

[00:19:08] Nope.

[00:19:09] Hits are not good.

[00:19:10] It has three points damage.

[00:19:12] Zora's dead.

[00:19:14] Her staff clatters to the floor.

[00:19:18] Her skull opens just like her jar of honey.

[00:19:24] Does a shield provide any actual bonus to AC?

[00:19:27] AC, yes.

[00:19:28] Okay.

[00:19:29] I think it's a plus two.

[00:19:30] Sounds right.

[00:19:32] The last one will go after that's...

[00:19:36] So is there a total four then if I'm counting right?

[00:19:38] Four, yes.

[00:19:40] One's dead, one's on the floor.

[00:19:42] One just killed one of Spencer's characters.

[00:19:44] The other...

[00:19:45] One fell over?

[00:19:46] Huh?

[00:19:47] Is that all four of them?

[00:19:48] No.

[00:19:49] One dead, one on the floor.

[00:19:50] One killed Spencer's character.

[00:19:51] That's three.

[00:19:52] Did he kill some?

[00:19:53] He killed some.

[00:19:54] Okay.

[00:19:55] I killed somebody.

[00:19:56] It's you.

[00:19:57] It's about knocking him to the bottom of the initiative order.

[00:19:58] Oh yeah, he killed him.

[00:19:59] Okay, never mind.

[00:20:00] Spencer.

[00:20:01] He did.

[00:20:02] He's permanently at the bottom of the initiative order.

[00:20:05] He ain't getting up higher.

[00:20:07] Character number three.

[00:20:09] That would be...

[00:20:10] Oh, full.

[00:20:13] I don't think a six is going to hit.

[00:20:16] Nope.

[00:20:17] Cool.

[00:20:18] ACM nine.

[00:20:19] Comes swinging at you with its talons and misses.

[00:20:21] Oh, rude.

[00:20:23] Troy, you're up.

[00:20:25] I'm up.

[00:20:26] Steve Rogers will get up.

[00:20:27] Okay.

[00:20:28] I am a real American.

[00:20:31] Can I make a stabby action?

[00:20:34] Sure.

[00:20:35] I have a spear.

[00:20:36] You have a spear.

[00:20:37] You can make a throwy action too.

[00:20:39] I could, but I just want to make a stabby action.

[00:20:42] It's Steve Rogers.

[00:20:43] He can throw the fucking shield.

[00:20:44] He's got to throw the shield now.

[00:20:46] So 14.

[00:20:47] Oh yeah, that'll hit him.

[00:20:49] Spencer, if we didn't explain these to you, these are worth plus one to a roll.

[00:20:52] Cool.

[00:20:53] You could spend them for yourself or others anytime you want.

[00:20:56] Three.

[00:20:57] Nice.

[00:20:58] I don't add anything to that damage, right?

[00:20:59] Strength.

[00:21:00] Oh, okay.

[00:21:01] Strength to the damage too.

[00:21:02] Okay, so zero.

[00:21:03] He critted by the way, so you owe him one.

[00:21:04] Oh, true.

[00:21:05] Oh.

[00:21:06] Oh, sweet.

[00:21:07] Sorry.

[00:21:08] But the luck tokens are fleeting, so if any of us roll a one at all, all the tokens go

[00:21:12] back to Jeff.

[00:21:13] Oh, I don't like lame.

[00:21:14] Spend them while you got them.

[00:21:15] The one that you attack drops.

[00:21:17] Oh.

[00:21:18] We'll say that's the one that just killed Zora.

[00:21:20] So we got one that fell and one more.

[00:21:24] You've got, yeah, one on the floor, one standing.

[00:21:27] Okay.

[00:21:28] Okay.

[00:21:29] Rudy Vega will also stand up.

[00:21:31] Okay.

[00:21:32] He will go for the one still standing.

[00:21:34] With?

[00:21:35] The pitchfork.

[00:21:36] Make a luck roll.

[00:21:37] Oh, this is not going to be a good one.

[00:21:40] Low number.

[00:21:41] Nope.

[00:21:42] He goes to hurl the pitchfork and realizes, oh shit, it's not there.

[00:21:48] His butt hurts.

[00:21:50] He in turn will back away.

[00:21:52] Okay.

[00:21:53] It's like that thing in Zelda where you reach for a weapon or, you know, those fighting

[00:21:56] games where it just goes, huh?

[00:21:57] It just looks at an empty hand.

[00:21:59] Huh.

[00:22:00] Don Knatz will stand up.

[00:22:01] Okay.

[00:22:02] And with a dagger, can that be a throwy thing too?

[00:22:04] Yes.

[00:22:05] He will attempt to throw his dagger.

[00:22:08] So it'd be off agility.

[00:22:10] For an eight.

[00:22:12] It goes whipping past the cultist who just attacked, I can't remember his name.

[00:22:18] Full.

[00:22:19] Full.

[00:22:20] And then Trepper John.

[00:22:22] That deadly sling.

[00:22:24] For 10.

[00:22:26] That's Miss Cody.

[00:22:27] Yes.

[00:22:28] You are up.

[00:22:29] Rio will bend over and or will move over and try and slip the throw to the one that's laying

[00:22:38] on the ground.

[00:22:39] Okay.

[00:22:40] Roll D24.

[00:22:41] Thanks.

[00:22:42] I needed that.

[00:22:43] My dagger is minus one.

[00:22:45] That is a 23.

[00:22:47] That's a crit.

[00:22:48] 22 technically because of minus one.

[00:22:50] Yeah.

[00:22:51] That's a crit.

[00:22:52] So D4, his luck is zero.

[00:22:54] So it's flat D4.

[00:22:56] It's a three.

[00:22:57] Stunning crack to the forehead inflict an extra D3 damage and no falls to the bottom of the

[00:23:03] initiative order.

[00:23:04] I think he's going to fall down next to his buddy unless I roll real shit.

[00:23:08] So D3 plus D4 minus one.

[00:23:10] This is the one that's already on the ground, isn't it?

[00:23:12] No, no.

[00:23:13] Yes.

[00:23:14] He's on the ground.

[00:23:15] Not the one that got hit in the forehead the last time.

[00:23:16] Correct.

[00:23:17] So that's six minus one so five total damage.

[00:23:19] A dead.

[00:23:20] Sheer.

[00:23:21] Ear to fucking ear.

[00:23:22] Shield is only a plus one.

[00:23:24] Oh okay.

[00:23:25] I'm going to brought some pancakes this morning.

[00:23:28] Let's just throw by the power of mozzarella.

[00:23:33] Jesus' turn.

[00:23:36] I got nothing.

[00:23:37] I was going to say something about gluten because they're like making fun of gluten

[00:23:40] while Spencer is here.

[00:23:41] Is especially funny.

[00:23:42] That hurts.

[00:23:43] That's not nice.

[00:23:44] Something I can't control Cody.

[00:23:47] Which makes it even funnier.

[00:23:50] So is my being fat and old but everybody laughs about that shit.

[00:23:54] Especially the old bit.

[00:23:56] See who else have I got?

[00:23:58] I guess Jesus will reach for his holy symbol.

[00:24:02] Okay.

[00:24:03] He will swing it around and attempt to bash the other one in the face with his holy symbol.

[00:24:08] Okay.

[00:24:09] D16.

[00:24:10] I think that's fair.

[00:24:12] Improvised weapon.

[00:24:14] For sure.

[00:24:15] That would be a 16, Jeff.

[00:24:17] That'll hit.

[00:24:18] 15 plus one so.

[00:24:20] D3 damage.

[00:24:22] He swings us.

[00:24:23] Any strength?

[00:24:24] Yeah plus one.

[00:24:25] Nice.

[00:24:26] He's got them strengths.

[00:24:27] Gorgonzola!

[00:24:29] Three damage.

[00:24:31] How much?

[00:24:32] Three damage.

[00:24:33] Drops.

[00:24:34] Nice.

[00:24:35] We must find my cheese dip.

[00:24:43] Okay.

[00:24:44] Well I named it a very religious name but gave him a chaotic background.

[00:24:51] I love that.

[00:24:52] Okay now that you are in a lit room and have a chance to look around, you realize that

[00:24:57] the dead lay side by side and are comprised of many ages and different ranks.

[00:25:02] Nobles and rich merchants are crowded beside beggars and filthy rags.

[00:25:06] Huh.

[00:25:07] Do we see anybody who might be resident of the castle we're in?

[00:25:14] Make me an intelligence role.

[00:25:16] If you guys can argue an occupation that would get a bonus to any of these roles, argue it.

[00:25:20] Soldier?

[00:25:21] No.

[00:25:22] Minstrel having performed at the castle before?

[00:25:24] Maybe.

[00:25:25] Turn it.

[00:25:26] I'd give it to you.

[00:25:27] Should I roll on it or?

[00:25:28] Uh, plus two.

[00:25:29] If you're making untrained skill checks then you should be rolling D10s not D20s.

[00:25:32] Is it?

[00:25:33] Yeah if you're considering it an unskilled check it's a D10 as opposed to a D20.

[00:25:36] Then yes it would be D10s.

[00:25:37] Oh.

[00:25:38] I did not realize that.

[00:25:39] Yeah I don't and an intelligence check I guess is a question of are they using the

[00:25:42] full brevity of their knowledge or if it's something they don't fucking know

[00:25:45] then I would do a D10 because that's how you do when you use skills that you're

[00:25:48] not trained in.

[00:25:49] Well no, the way this describes it is that you can use skills that you can use

[00:25:52] to train your friends.

[00:25:53] And I would say you can use skills that you can use to train your friends.

[00:25:56] So I would say you can use skills that you can use to train your friends.

[00:25:59] You can use skills that you can use to train your friends.

[00:26:01] So that's how you do it?

[00:26:02] Yeah, so you would do a D10 because that's how you do when you use skills

[00:26:05] that you're not trained in.

[00:26:06] Well no, the way this describes it if you're doing something that is trained

[00:26:11] based on your occupation you would roll a D20 everybody else rolls a

[00:26:16] lower die.

[00:26:17] Correct.

[00:26:18] Usually it's like with scrolls and stuff it's D10s if you aren't so.

[00:26:22] 11.

[00:26:23] 10.

[00:26:24] Okay, Lonnie?

[00:26:25] Yep.

[00:26:26] Okay, I'm going to try and remember these names.

[00:26:29] Definitely recognizes a few people from the castle.

[00:26:32] Nobody really of note just people that you would have seen at court

[00:26:36] or as a servant in the castle or...

[00:26:39] Hell of a party.

[00:26:41] It seems to be some of the people we ate with and or served us.

[00:26:45] Can I look and see if there are any additional wounds that they have

[00:26:51] beyond like any visible wounds at all like the cause of death?

[00:26:56] I bet your shaman would get some kind of a roll.

[00:26:59] Yeah, okay.

[00:27:00] Roll a D20 intelligence.

[00:27:02] I love how pink your D20 is by the way.

[00:27:04] Yeah, came with the kit 19.

[00:27:07] My 24th condo.

[00:27:08] No.

[00:27:10] Or...

[00:27:11] There are no other wounds.

[00:27:12] Okay.

[00:27:13] So I could...

[00:27:14] If you get close and like smell one of them's mouth, it's the same nasty as taste.

[00:27:20] So I could deduce that we got lucky and our dose wasn't...

[00:27:24] Yeah, you got hell of a headache from it but it's bad.

[00:27:27] Yeah, okay.

[00:27:29] Build up an immunity to Iocane powder.

[00:27:32] The one that Trapper John took out with a rock.

[00:27:35] Yes.

[00:27:36] Lonnie is going to go over there and see if he can take off the thing's cloak.

[00:27:41] Yeah.

[00:27:42] He's going to put it on.

[00:27:44] It's not a rock, they're acorns.

[00:27:50] Trapper John to me is now like...

[00:27:53] In my mind now he's played by Radagast the Brown.

[00:27:57] Yeah, I also have a Badger Pelt.

[00:28:00] You have birch in your hair too?

[00:28:03] Yes.

[00:28:04] Can Don Knotts collect his dagger that absolutely flu?

[00:28:08] Okay, I need to rename him because I don't even know how to pronounce my own name.

[00:28:12] Ermir.

[00:28:13] Ermir.

[00:28:14] We're just going to call him Storm Anvil.

[00:28:16] So Storm Anvil the Dwarf.

[00:28:18] So are we underground?

[00:28:20] Definitely.

[00:28:21] Okay.

[00:28:22] Can he tell whether it's a natural or man made and based on the type of rock that

[00:28:26] it is, you know, like how far down we are or what area where we are...

[00:28:33] Give me an intelligence roll.

[00:28:35] Okay, let's go.

[00:28:38] He licks the side of the wall and gets a 12.

[00:28:41] It is definitely man made.

[00:28:44] You can tell that at one point this would have been fairly opulent, but it is in disrepair.

[00:28:51] Okay.

[00:28:52] I like the idea that you lick it and you're like, this is man made and the camera pans out

[00:28:58] and it's like a disused Sistine Chapel or something.

[00:29:02] It's like, no shit dumbass, all the stones are the exact same size.

[00:29:06] What should did licking it do?

[00:29:09] Mostly limestone.

[00:29:11] Okay.

[00:29:12] So yes, to answer Grady's question there are three more robes that you could probably

[00:29:16] take off of them.

[00:29:18] Some blood stains but...

[00:29:20] Was that a mask that they were wearing?

[00:29:22] It was not a mask.

[00:29:24] Ah, cool.

[00:29:25] Sam.

[00:29:26] I'd say Lin Moe would run up and be like, give me one of those.

[00:29:30] Can I have one?

[00:29:31] And try to get one of the robes.

[00:29:33] Rio just points to...

[00:29:35] Yeah, and just hurriedly puts it on.

[00:29:37] Oh, what did you get for your intelligence roll check in the bodies?

[00:29:42] A 12.

[00:29:43] Okay, that's high enough.

[00:29:45] You notice bloated black lips, the smell of a sweet narcotic perfume

[00:29:49] and with that high of a roll you know that it is a...

[00:29:53] Oh, I got even higher for that.

[00:29:55] Yeah, like a 19 for that.

[00:29:57] The cause of death is poisoning by a tincture of black lotus blooms.

[00:30:02] Wow.

[00:30:03] I tell that to the group and just say that's...

[00:30:06] Man, that's not groovy at all.

[00:30:08] No, not even a little bit.

[00:30:11] And then he's gonna take some sort of spice out of his bag and say,

[00:30:16] this'll help with the headache guys.

[00:30:18] Here you go and it'll just pass around the spice.

[00:30:20] It's weed.

[00:30:22] No, I like the idea that it's like coriander.

[00:30:25] It's just a little bag of coriander.

[00:30:27] What the fuck am I supposed to do with this?

[00:30:29] Jesus Christ has already snorted it.

[00:30:32] Along with the robes there is also a guttering torch and a wheelbarrow.

[00:30:36] I'd love to carry the wheelbarrow, Jeff.

[00:30:38] Okay.

[00:30:41] I got lots of heavy things behind me.

[00:30:43] I just want that to be stated.

[00:30:45] Can I or can Rudy possibly find a pitchfork-like implementation in this room?

[00:30:52] Let's see what it is.

[00:30:54] Anyone searching the bodies, find all manner of items to determine these.

[00:30:58] Roll the corpse's occupation using the rulebook.

[00:31:02] Make me a roll.

[00:31:03] D100.

[00:31:05] Here you go, Jeff.

[00:31:06] Here are all the occupations.

[00:31:07] Oh, awesome. Thank you.

[00:31:08] Am I rolling a D100?

[00:31:09] You are.

[00:31:10] Oh, that's smart.

[00:31:11] Yeah, because my dwarf needs something to smash with.

[00:31:14] 16.

[00:31:16] You find a dagger.

[00:31:18] Noice.

[00:31:19] I'm going to roll for my guy.

[00:31:22] No longer a pitchfork.

[00:31:25] 96.

[00:31:27] You find a dagger and a fine suit of clothes on this character.

[00:31:31] I have a dagger there.

[00:31:32] Yeah, Lidmo's like, ooh, that's nice.

[00:31:35] Can I roll for each character or just one time?

[00:31:38] There are more bodies on the floor, yes.

[00:31:41] Okay, while I could roll.

[00:31:43] Yeah, I will roll one.

[00:31:44] I rolled an odd six.

[00:31:46] You find a holy symbol.

[00:31:49] Jesus will put that around his neck, I guess, unless somebody else wants a holy symbol.

[00:31:53] 70.

[00:31:54] This guy's going to turn into Benny.

[00:31:56] Just all different holy symbols.

[00:31:58] Oh yeah.

[00:31:59] What'd you roll?

[00:32:00] 70.

[00:32:01] 70.

[00:32:02] You find a locket.

[00:32:03] A locket.

[00:32:04] Mundane, just anything in it.

[00:32:06] I don't know.

[00:32:07] Are you a mage?

[00:32:08] You know God damn well I'm not.

[00:32:10] Can you cast the identify?

[00:32:11] Yes.

[00:32:12] Those work on mundane items.

[00:32:15] There is a picture inside.

[00:32:19] There is a picture inside.

[00:32:20] What is it a picture of?

[00:32:21] A penis.

[00:32:24] An older, darker skinned woman.

[00:32:29] I rolled an 85 because I like rolling.

[00:32:32] 85.

[00:32:33] You find a bag of herbs.

[00:32:36] Literally the one he dropped just a few minutes ago.

[00:32:39] I wonder where that went.

[00:32:41] He's looking for that ax.

[00:32:43] 38.

[00:32:44] You find another dagger and a quill.

[00:32:46] Probably some paper too.

[00:32:47] Sweet.

[00:32:48] Are there more bodies?

[00:32:49] Yes.

[00:32:50] You're up to 7.

[00:32:51] This is county.

[00:32:52] 94.

[00:32:53] Hmm.

[00:32:54] You find a bowl.

[00:32:56] How sweet.

[00:32:57] Nice.

[00:32:58] Give the bowl to him.

[00:33:02] 66.

[00:33:03] You find a bag of herbs.

[00:33:05] Oh, it's my lucky day.

[00:33:09] I'm giving them all to fall.

[00:33:11] Fall is just like a six cents for weed.

[00:33:14] Ooh.

[00:33:15] You find a hand axe.

[00:33:18] Yes!

[00:33:19] Lucky basket.

[00:33:20] Jimmity steel picks it up like this thumb.

[00:33:24] Across it, time to cut some wood.

[00:33:28] More bodies?

[00:33:29] Yep, there are a few more.

[00:33:31] 48.

[00:33:32] I like this game.

[00:33:35] A dagger and a deck of cards.

[00:33:38] Sweet.

[00:33:39] Deck of cards.

[00:33:42] 27.

[00:33:43] You find a hammer and a fine stone.

[00:33:46] Hey!

[00:33:47] Oh my gosh.

[00:33:48] That's probably your same starting character.

[00:33:50] Oh my babies.

[00:33:51] I could also use a hammer and or club if there are extras.

[00:33:55] I'll try another one.

[00:33:57] 37.

[00:33:58] Same thing you just rolled.

[00:34:01] You find more paper and a quill.

[00:34:03] 26.

[00:34:04] 26.

[00:34:05] 26.

[00:34:06] You find a club and a net.

[00:34:09] Nice.

[00:34:10] Nets all wadded up in his backpack or something.

[00:34:16] 85.

[00:34:17] Find bag of herbs.

[00:34:21] No way!

[00:34:22] No way!

[00:34:23] Yes!

[00:34:24] I like the idea that he just keeps, there's a hole in his goddamn robe.

[00:34:28] He's just dropping it and searching a body and go, bag of herbs.

[00:34:32] The character he's been put in his pouch.

[00:34:34] Ooh!

[00:34:35] Peace candy.

[00:34:36] Can I, can I, can I change that into a shovel?

[00:34:39] No.

[00:34:40] Please?

[00:34:41] Lonnie is going to poke his head out of this room.

[00:34:43] I forget what you rolled.

[00:34:45] Huh?

[00:34:46] What did you roll?

[00:34:47] 26.

[00:34:48] 26?

[00:34:49] No it is very definitely a, like a sap.

[00:34:52] Okay.

[00:34:53] It is from somebody who is very obviously a dwarven rat catcher.

[00:34:58] I will take a club if you don't want it.

[00:35:01] 34.

[00:35:02] Find a bag of herbs.

[00:35:07] Here you drop this.

[00:35:09] Yes!

[00:35:10] I'm up to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

[00:35:12] That is a handy book.

[00:35:14] I like that.

[00:35:15] It's only $9 too if you get a copy from Goodman Games.

[00:35:19] I'll buy that when I buy another copy of this book.

[00:35:24] This is, so for the audience I think everybody at the table already knows, this is an

[00:35:27] adventure that I bought and already ran for a few folks.

[00:35:30] It was a great time.

[00:35:31] So I gave it to Jeff when we were on vacation.

[00:35:34] He wasn't able to record with the guys, but Jeff has been unable to find said copy that

[00:35:38] I loaned him yet.

[00:35:40] I read it once and after that I have no recollection of where it ended up.

[00:35:45] I know it's in my house somewhere and I've been looking for three weeks.

[00:35:48] But yes I will, Lonnie Tames Rio will poke his head out and look around.

[00:35:53] Okay you notice that you are in like a 20 by 15 room and the

[00:35:58] Currently or looking out into?

[00:35:59] Currently.

[00:36:00] Okay.

[00:36:01] Looking out the door it opens up into a fairly massive chamber that you can't really see

[00:36:06] that far into.

[00:36:08] Okay.

[00:36:09] About 15 feet away from the door you can see some columns.

[00:36:13] Hmmmmmmmmmm.

[00:36:15] They stops to hear echoes.

[00:36:17] Oh yes.

[00:36:18] Nice.

[00:36:19] Acoustics are great.

[00:36:21] Yeah!

[00:36:22] Sweet.

[00:36:23] Tem-ti-tem-ti tem-ti-tem-ti-tem-ti...

[00:36:27] I'm going to continue to do that and provide Jeff opportunities until somebody else does a thing.

[00:36:32] You have...

[00:36:34] One of your characters has a lantern or some kind?

[00:36:37] Yes, I do.

[00:36:38] Two of my characters have candles so he will light those candles and...

[00:36:41] There was also a guttering torch on the floor.

[00:36:44] Oh that's right.

[00:36:45] I can pick up a torch if nobody else does, if nobody else wants to pick it up.

[00:36:47] Cool.

[00:36:48] My armorer does not have a weapon so bumbus...

[00:36:50] Bumbus can be the torch bearer.

[00:36:51] It can be a club.

[00:36:52] Oh, it can be a club?

[00:36:54] Yeah.

[00:36:55] I would say so.

[00:36:56] It's a stick.

[00:36:57] Cheezus can't stop using the holy symbols now as weapons.

[00:37:01] He's literally swinging both of them now like other chakus.

[00:37:04] We're gonna find that goddamn cheese.

[00:37:07] Enough with the cheese.

[00:37:12] Hey, that's what Purple Sorcerer gave me.

[00:37:15] Cheese dip in a holy symbol and I'm gonna play it up.

[00:37:18] I like it.

[00:37:19] I'm here for it.

[00:37:20] So who's going out?

[00:37:22] Or what are you guys doing?

[00:37:24] Steve Rogers and Don Knot.

[00:37:26] By the way, that's one word.

[00:37:28] Steve Rogers.

[00:37:29] Just so you know.

[00:37:30] Steve Rogers?

[00:37:31] Yeah.

[00:37:32] There's no pause in there.

[00:37:33] No, there's name is Steve Rogers.

[00:37:34] What's his last name?

[00:37:35] He doesn't have one.

[00:37:36] Oh, okay.

[00:37:37] What about a middle name?

[00:37:38] It doesn't have a middle name if there's no last name, Jeff.

[00:37:41] There's none to bookend it.

[00:37:43] Don't ask Lucas questions.

[00:37:47] So yeah, he and Don Knotts both have candles so he would light the candles in sort

[00:37:51] of help spread the light out.

[00:37:54] Can we start to define the shape of the room we are in?

[00:37:58] Left, right, up, down, north, south?

[00:37:59] It's room shaped.

[00:38:01] The room that you're starting in or the room that you're moving out into?

[00:38:04] We're moving out into.

[00:38:05] I mean, I've already been practicing for my next song on the album so I can tell

[00:38:11] the acoustics are great so it echoes.

[00:38:13] It must be big.

[00:38:14] Yes, it is.

[00:38:15] As you move out about like I said about 15 feet from the door you're coming out

[00:38:19] of there's a row of pillars that extends down to your left or to your right into a much

[00:38:25] larger opening, much larger open area.

[00:38:28] To your left you can see a small set of stairs going up to a raised level.

[00:38:33] And we're still not seeing all the way across or there's a solid wall?

[00:38:36] Nope.

[00:38:37] We're in like a cathedral or underground so.

[00:38:44] You're shaman give me an intelligence roll.

[00:38:46] Yeah I was about to say.

[00:38:47] I don't know about cathedral but.

[00:38:49] Five.

[00:38:50] Drow Cathedral?

[00:38:51] That's racist.

[00:38:52] It's underground.

[00:38:53] Presumptive.

[00:38:54] Dwarf Cathedral?

[00:38:55] It's more likely.

[00:38:56] It's definitely a concert hall.

[00:38:59] Gotcha.

[00:39:00] Full wants to explore the place.

[00:39:07] He wants to understand it better.

[00:39:08] He wants to go up those stairs.

[00:39:10] He wants to go up those stairs.

[00:39:12] Everybody going with or is full going on his own?

[00:39:14] I'd say generally Lin Mo is in the shadows hanging back being as cautious as possible

[00:39:21] so but Storman will join him.

[00:39:24] Okay.

[00:39:25] Where you going?

[00:39:27] I want to see what the vibes here I just can't get.

[00:39:31] I just I don't understand the vibes and I need to understand the vibe so I'm going

[00:39:35] to go climb those stairs.

[00:39:37] All right which one?

[00:39:40] The stoner and the dwarf.

[00:39:42] So two stoners.

[00:39:43] Okay what was their alignment?

[00:39:46] What's that?

[00:39:47] What was their alignment?

[00:39:48] I can't remember which one.

[00:39:49] Neutral and lawful.

[00:39:50] Okay.

[00:39:51] Which one was lawful?

[00:39:53] The dwarf.

[00:39:54] Okay.

[00:39:55] The dwarf as they move out towards those stairs they hear a voice of soft feminine

[00:40:00] voice saying help me, I implore you help me.

[00:40:05] The dwarf does?

[00:40:06] What's in it for me?

[00:40:07] Lawful doesn't necessarily mean good it just means you have a note of ethics.

[00:40:13] Yes.

[00:40:14] No response.

[00:40:15] No response.

[00:40:16] Hmm that's odd.

[00:40:18] Did you hear that?

[00:40:19] He turns to full did full hear that?

[00:40:21] No.

[00:40:22] No man.

[00:40:23] Don't start talking to the voices in your head.

[00:40:26] Yeah well Jesus.

[00:40:29] Can Storman will try to follow the sound of the voice?

[00:40:34] You can try.

[00:40:35] Okay.

[00:40:36] Make an intelligence check.

[00:40:37] Seven.

[00:40:38] Probably a D10.

[00:40:40] Eight.

[00:40:42] You're pretty sure there wasn't a direction?

[00:40:45] It was it's in your head.

[00:40:47] He keeps that to himself.

[00:40:50] What were you going to say?

[00:40:53] I would say Jimmethy and Bumbus will walk in the opposite direction a little bit to see

[00:40:57] obviously they're going that way and they're hearing voices so they'd like to explore

[00:41:00] the opposite direction.

[00:41:01] Okay.

[00:41:02] You see more columns and the chamber goes down about 40 feet as you're moving out

[00:41:08] your light in the area more you see more and more as you turn right you see one door

[00:41:12] on your right and two doors on the left side.

[00:41:17] So this is all on the same side that we're on?

[00:41:19] It's about 40 feet across with columns going down the middle.

[00:41:23] Okay so if we're thinking about this that we have if we do this cardinal direction

[00:41:29] style which way did which way did Spencer go?

[00:41:32] North.

[00:41:33] So Spencer went north and you said he turned right out of where he came out?

[00:41:37] No he turned left.

[00:41:38] You're turning right.

[00:41:39] Okay so I'm heading south.

[00:41:41] So I see doors to my south?

[00:41:44] No as you're facing south you see doors to your east and west.

[00:41:48] So there's doors on the same side that we came out of?

[00:41:51] There's one door on the same side that you came out of.

[00:41:54] And there are doors on the opposite side?

[00:41:56] Yep.

[00:41:57] And what's further south from him or further south?

[00:42:01] Do we hit a wall?

[00:42:02] It looks like the chamber ends but there's also an alcove at the end.

[00:42:06] Okay.

[00:42:07] Any input?

[00:42:08] He went north but went up a second flight, second floor.

[00:42:13] Not really even a second floor just like a raised dais.

[00:42:15] Oh okay on a dais on a dais?

[00:42:17] Yes I knew you were going to say that.

[00:42:19] Rock me on the dais.

[00:42:20] So this room is so we can tell it's 40 feet wide?

[00:42:25] Yeah 40 feet.

[00:42:26] Indeterminate long?

[00:42:27] 40 feet wide east and west.

[00:42:29] Oh east and what?

[00:42:30] Okay.

[00:42:31] It's about from the stairs to where the alcove is it's about 50 or 60 feet

[00:42:35] long.

[00:42:36] From south from the stairs that he started go up to the alcove that you're seeing further

[00:42:42] south is about 60 feet.

[00:42:44] So 60 feet as far south as we can see.

[00:42:47] Okay.

[00:42:48] There's more north but we've determined roughly how wide east and west are.

[00:42:51] I would go to the far wall that we enter from and head north down the other side so

[00:42:58] opposite side that Spencer would be on.

[00:43:00] So you're heading across the hall and then north?

[00:43:02] Yeah.

[00:43:03] It's the dais.

[00:43:04] The stairs are in the middle and to the north it's a raised area.

[00:43:10] The entire way north?

[00:43:11] Yes.

[00:43:12] Oh okay.

[00:43:14] It looks like as you're crossing to the opposite side of the chamber that you're coming out

[00:43:19] into you can see another door over there directly across from where you're coming

[00:43:25] out of.

[00:43:26] Directly across from where we're coming from.

[00:43:28] So kind of like a hallway in a school.

[00:43:29] We've got doors on our side and doors on the opposite side.

[00:43:32] So what about if I head further north?

[00:43:36] You're heading north.

[00:43:37] North is up on the dais.

[00:43:39] So but it doesn't go any further?

[00:43:41] Nope.

[00:43:42] Okay.

[00:43:43] I see.

[00:43:44] I got door here.

[00:43:45] And there's also so there's one door or two doors opposite us and one door that we've

[00:43:49] not.

[00:43:50] Well technically three.

[00:43:51] Three opposite.

[00:43:52] I found one you found two.

[00:43:53] Okay.

[00:43:54] And then there's one more on ours on the original side.

[00:43:56] Correct.

[00:43:57] Bumbus and Jimmethy will look at the alcove first because it seems to be right there.

[00:44:01] You see a massive door at the very end of the chamber and four statues around it.

[00:44:08] The statues are weeping angels.

[00:44:12] Those are never a bad sign.

[00:44:14] Nope.

[00:44:15] They look at each other and then they look back.

[00:44:18] The angels?

[00:44:19] I don't know.

[00:44:20] The two characters look at each other and then they look back.

[00:44:23] Nothing moves.

[00:44:24] Okay.

[00:44:25] Bumbus will walk up to one of the nearest statues and inspect it.

[00:44:32] It's a statue of a weeping angel.

[00:44:35] Pretty solid quality.

[00:44:36] I mean what kind of angels?

[00:44:38] There's all kinds of different orders of angels.

[00:44:40] It is an angelic type figure.

[00:44:42] It does not specify.

[00:44:44] That is not specified.

[00:44:45] That is a figure in a robe with wings crying.

[00:44:48] Thank you.

[00:44:49] I was saying some of the angels have like 18 eyes and like 40 feet wide and 17 wings.

[00:44:56] Scary stuff.

[00:44:57] When you say door, are we talking like door to Bowser's castle here or like?

[00:45:03] Yeah, like big stone double doors.

[00:45:07] Does it look like you can open them?

[00:45:09] They're hinged.

[00:45:10] Logistically speaking, if there's a deus on one end, the opposite end is probably the

[00:45:15] entrance.

[00:45:16] One would presume.

[00:45:17] There's probably a similar room to what we were in and the door that I found across

[00:45:21] the hall.

[00:45:22] Probably.

[00:45:23] Okay.

[00:45:25] So did we resolve what happened?

[00:45:28] Did I get to the top of the deus yet or?

[00:45:30] Oh yeah, you can get up there.

[00:45:32] Oh sweet.

[00:45:33] Yeah, so I'm up there on the west gate.

[00:45:36] Do I see anything in there?

[00:45:38] It's kind of like a hallway to your left and right goes down to a corner and goes

[00:45:43] around but you can see that in front of you it's almost like corners with a gate

[00:45:50] and then it goes around in a square.

[00:45:54] There's an open silver gate in front of you.

[00:45:56] Okay, an open silver gate in front of me.

[00:45:59] Yep.

[00:46:00] I'll check it out.

[00:46:01] Okay, Troy, what are the rest of your characters doing?

[00:46:04] I called out that I found a door.

[00:46:06] Do we want to check doors?

[00:46:08] No, everybody's splitting up.

[00:46:09] Oh fuck you Jeff.

[00:46:10] Whatever your characters are doing.

[00:46:11] Fine, we'll go through this door.

[00:46:13] Okay, Grady, what are your characters doing?

[00:46:17] Bumbus and Jimmethy are inspecting the statues and the door.

[00:46:22] Lonnie and Jesus who don't have a light source are sort of hanging out in the middle of the

[00:46:29] hallway.

[00:46:30] They haven't really left the room.

[00:46:32] I imagine Rio is the most intelligent character we have.

[00:46:36] Okay.

[00:46:37] He's watching everybody split up and thinking that it's a terrible idea.

[00:46:39] Yeah, let's bring those right in.

[00:46:40] So he's kind of standing in the middle waiting to see what happens.

[00:46:42] Which ones are Lawful?

[00:46:44] The Woodsmen?

[00:46:45] The Woodsmen is the only Lawful one.

[00:46:46] Okay, he would hear a similar voice.

[00:46:49] You look at the angel statues.

[00:46:51] Did you hear that Bumbus?

[00:46:52] What?

[00:46:53] I want to look at the door.

[00:46:55] Okay, it's a big door.

[00:46:57] Fancy.

[00:46:59] It is actually pretty opulent in here.

[00:47:01] It looks like it's been forever since somebody's really taken care of it.

[00:47:05] But it is gorgeous.

[00:47:06] Yeah, he will go up to the door and see if he can open it.

[00:47:11] Sweet.

[00:47:12] Okay, I need a WillSaves from both of them.

[00:47:16] That's going to go well.

[00:47:18] Bumbus, Nat 20.

[00:47:21] So very nice.

[00:47:22] A 19.

[00:47:23] Give him what he's owed.

[00:47:25] That's fair.

[00:47:26] Thank you.

[00:47:27] And I really like Jimmethy Steel.

[00:47:33] So let's just give you two back, Jeff.

[00:47:36] He's going to add two to this roll.

[00:47:40] Which makes it a plus one as opposed to a negative one.

[00:47:42] Gotcha.

[00:47:43] That makes it a three.

[00:47:45] Okay, cool.

[00:47:48] There's also a four HP character, which is going to be real sad.

[00:47:51] You all, I mean everybody in here can hear it.

[00:47:55] But the angels just start wailing.

[00:47:58] It warps both of their minds.

[00:48:00] Whoever's right there.

[00:48:01] Oh, it goes by your results.

[00:48:03] The natural 20.

[00:48:05] Aside from the sobbing being incredibly disturbing, there is no other effect.

[00:48:08] He's just holding the torch up.

[00:48:11] Four or less.

[00:48:13] The victim falls to their knees weeping uncontrollably.

[00:48:15] A victim of heartbreak.

[00:48:17] Literally.

[00:48:18] The victim's heart cracks in their chest and instant death.

[00:48:21] Ouch.

[00:48:22] Which one was that?

[00:48:23] Jimmethy Steel.

[00:48:24] Okay.

[00:48:25] The only character with more than two hit points.

[00:48:28] Good thing that he got to fight something with a hit point.

[00:48:31] Troy, you go into the room directly across from you.

[00:48:35] Yes.

[00:48:36] As you draw nearer to the open archway, you catch sight of several dark figures

[00:48:40] moving about beyond.

[00:48:42] Two of them share the burden of a human body, which they're loading into a strange

[00:48:46] cart.

[00:48:47] Are they carrying that cart?

[00:48:50] Wow.

[00:48:51] And as they hear this awful wail, they both turn to the door.

[00:48:56] Stab!

[00:48:57] I like the idea that he's pushed this door open cautiously and he's seeing them

[00:49:03] work and all of a sudden you just hear this whaaat!

[00:49:06] And everybody turns to look at the door where he's perfectly silhouetted in it.

[00:49:11] This is why you split the party.

[00:49:14] 13.

[00:49:15] Always.

[00:49:16] That'll hit.

[00:49:17] Seven.

[00:49:18] Seven damage?

[00:49:19] Yeah.

[00:49:20] Oh shit, it drops.

[00:49:21] Fuck it, I'll say the fact that you killed the one, the other one is pulled off balance

[00:49:26] holding the body.

[00:49:27] You can take care of it.

[00:49:28] Okay.

[00:49:29] Do I?

[00:49:32] He just definitely stabs it through the left eye and the other one goes, oh shit!

[00:49:37] This room looks pretty identical to the one that we were just in.

[00:49:40] Almost exactly identical.

[00:49:43] The luck signs don't come into a factor until we're leveled, right?

[00:49:46] Oh no, they do.

[00:49:47] So Rudy Bega was born under the four leaf clover sign which means I can find secret doors.

[00:49:54] Oh yeah?

[00:49:55] Yeah.

[00:49:56] You can find secret doors.

[00:49:57] I don't know, it says find secret doors.

[00:49:59] I think that you get a bonus to finding secret doors so what is your luck bonus?

[00:50:07] So what you're saying is you get a minus one to finding secret doors.

[00:50:11] Cool.

[00:50:12] Are you looking for secret doors?

[00:50:16] Not necessarily, my interpretation of what's how that read was different.

[00:50:20] Okay, yeah it's a bonus to doing the thing that...

[00:50:23] But I don't see any other door inherently from this room?

[00:50:28] No you do not.

[00:50:29] You do see a bunch of bodies laying on the ground.

[00:50:32] Start prodding, nobody moves.

[00:50:34] Nope, nobody's moving.

[00:50:36] I will go out of the room and head towards the screaming that I heard.

[00:50:42] Okay.

[00:50:43] Spencer.

[00:50:44] Yeah.

[00:50:45] So you're going up to the gate or through the gate?

[00:50:47] Through the gate, yep.

[00:50:49] You find what looks like an old fountain.

[00:50:53] Several benches, several stone benches around it.

[00:50:57] The fountain is beat to hell, it's in pieces and there's this...

[00:51:02] What are...

[00:51:03] How do these describe it?

[00:51:04] Stormanvil licks the bench, what's it made out of?

[00:51:07] You're gonna splinter it's marble.

[00:51:09] Nice, taste all those minerals.

[00:51:12] Moss growing all over the fountain.

[00:51:14] This is beautiful.

[00:51:16] This means something to someone.

[00:51:19] I imagine him playing in the moss like mashed potatoes.

[00:51:22] Yeah.

[00:51:23] I mean it's just herbs that aren't dried out yet.

[00:51:27] So he's the guy who has the back of a reggernon, thinks it's weed.

[00:51:32] As you walk in and look around, give me an intelligence roll.

[00:51:37] It can be a d20, I don't care.

[00:51:40] Full roll of six.

[00:51:44] Clever's got the highest intelligence.

[00:51:45] Yeah, you just roll for...

[00:51:46] They both roll...

[00:51:48] Well, Stormanvil rolled a nine.

[00:51:52] We have multiple characters, you usually just roll them as a group.

[00:51:55] So whichever one has the highest modifier, roll and use that one.

[00:51:59] You notice that the moss has flowers growing through it, like growing out of it.

[00:52:05] And as you move around and go over and lick the bench and stuff, the flowers follow

[00:52:12] you.

[00:52:14] That's interesting.

[00:52:15] I don't think they're supposed to do that usually.

[00:52:18] Hey herb guy, herbs do this?

[00:52:22] And full notice is it can full make an investigation type roll.

[00:52:26] Yeah.

[00:52:27] Since that's...

[00:52:28] It's been intelligence.

[00:52:29] Nat 20.

[00:52:31] Give me that sweet, sweet luck.

[00:52:34] With a nat 20 you have never seen moss like that.

[00:52:42] Whoa, really?

[00:52:43] Yep.

[00:52:44] Oh, shit.

[00:52:45] Loss that moves and watches you?

[00:52:48] Can I try to take some?

[00:52:50] Sure.

[00:52:51] Only in Creepshow.

[00:52:52] Yeah, I'll take some.

[00:52:53] I need will saves from all your characters.

[00:52:55] What?

[00:52:56] I didn't see that coming.

[00:52:57] All right.

[00:52:59] As you go to take some, it like puffs out this weird yellow pollen.

[00:53:06] Pollen.

[00:53:07] 17 for full.

[00:53:13] Your PC rise PC.

[00:53:15] Player character.

[00:53:17] Oh, sorry.

[00:53:18] What'd the other one get?

[00:53:20] Five.

[00:53:21] Five.

[00:53:22] Cool.

[00:53:24] You both fall over and have this awesome trip.

[00:53:30] You are like descending through the underworld.

[00:53:34] You are passing among the dead.

[00:53:37] You have an amazing trip, but the one that rolled a five.

[00:53:41] The PC's cerebral sojourn to the underworld is fraught with loss.

[00:53:45] The PC rises with a permanent loss of 1d3 points to a randomly determined ability score.

[00:53:52] So how many ability scores do you have?

[00:53:55] Six.

[00:53:56] So roll twice once to determine what?

[00:53:58] Yeah, roll a d6 to determine which one.

[00:54:01] Agility.

[00:54:02] Okay, now roll it again and one.

[00:54:05] You have an actual d3 if you want to use it.

[00:54:08] One.

[00:54:09] One?

[00:54:10] It goes down by one.

[00:54:12] Got a 17 for the other?

[00:54:14] Yeah.

[00:54:15] You rise and it's like you experienced part of someone else's life.

[00:54:21] You come back knowing a new language.

[00:54:24] Nice.

[00:54:25] Can I pick one?

[00:54:27] Yes.

[00:54:28] Save it for an automatically appropriate time.

[00:54:32] That's no fun.

[00:54:33] Yeah, it is.

[00:54:34] That's fine.

[00:54:35] Okay.

[00:54:36] That's fine.
