After a few stops, the party was given information about a cultish drug den, but an interesting detour to the Abby of Saint Berthold provided more information about the history of the cult itself. What is going on in Slumberville and how is The Alchemist on the Corner involved?
We continue The Big Sleep, an adventure in Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos.
Starring
Cody as Cyrus, a Ghoul Barbarian
Flynn as Mr. Whimples, a Dreamlands Cat

[00:00:17] presents The Big Sleep A Cathedral Mythos 5e Adventure
[00:01:25] Horse? Horse. H-O-R-S-T. Naaay! Um, the groundskeepers, uh, I don't know, shack for lack of a better term is on the grounds outside of the cathedral. The cathedral is off its own building, so whatever you wish to do.
[00:01:47] Can't say I've ever kicked down the door of a shack before. Should be easy. Blam! Actually kicking the side of the shack. Totally ignored the door. You might have locked it. Blam! Do you knock on the door? The question is, does anyone else knock on the door?
[00:02:07] I'll scratch at the door. I am above the law. Door opens. Hello? Oh. Hello? Where are the drugs? Sorry? Um, what can I help you with? I pull him out of his shack. You were very large, man.
[00:02:31] Uh, actually just pick him up like a toddler and set him down and then I go into his shack to investigate. Not much in here at all. It's kind of like walking into like any house in Skyrim where there's just fucking nothing that's going to hurt you all.
[00:02:45] Bang! Slammed my arms. It's like a studio shack apartment. Okay. Question away, good cop. I am tossing the room like bad cop. Uh, what are you looking for? What is going on here? I don't even remember. Cause the guy said this guy has drugs too.
[00:03:08] Something about he can show you the way. He just suggested that he was someone to speak to. Some crazy drug-addled idiot told us to talk to you. So we're tossing your house. We are the law. Show them the written. Sorry, who sent you?
[00:03:25] Guy at the Ganbarri sleepaway camp. Slumberland. Xyros. Sure. Oh yes, you must be the new members. Uh oh. No. Yes, that's us. The new members. It's amazing how often joining the pooch. I forgot my jacket. Of course, yes, yes, yes. Come, come, come on the cathedral. Come inside.
[00:03:53] And he'll absolutely, if you put him down, lead you into the cathedral. I wasn't planning to join a cult today but... I was planning on firebombing a cathedral but here we are. A massive beautiful building. One of the largest buildings in the city, in fact.
[00:04:13] It means it'll be the brightest burning fire I've ever built. He says, um... He says, have you been here long? I've not seen the likes of you in this city before. Just sort of shuffling his way towards the cathedral. A little slow. I pick him up.
[00:04:37] Our pace increases. His feet kind of doing this above the ground. Can't much walk this way. Walk this way. Good stuff I do. Walk this way! No, we've only a few days. Alright, alright, well, you know... Members are members, members are members. He opens the door.
[00:05:01] I do need each of you to make a wisdom saving throw. For dread? Kind of realizing that his utter belief in the depravity... It's not good. No matter what you say, he just believes you guys are cultists and that you are following him. 15. 21. Outs. Wisdom saving throw? 6. 10!
[00:05:27] Both of you have one level of dread. Oh, look at this one. Where do we mark that? In the skull. There's a dread level section. Does it go away? Over time it will. I forgot about the burn right on that. He says, come in, come in.
[00:05:52] Meet the curate. Meet the curate. And he introduces you to curate Hapl, who is a priest in the cathedral. Hapl is a wizened old man wearing fine white robes. A cloth of gold stole studded with gems.
[00:06:08] And he begins to talk to you animatally about faith in the history of the church. And the local deity whose name I forget, it's the sun god. Yeah, and he just kind of starts talking to you about their god.
[00:06:30] Not about green monks in Sathagva but about the local god. He says, eventually Peter is off and says, are you here to worship or are you here to join us? To be a part of our faith. I'm going to say that crazy phrase. Yes, Sathagva Zimelzatha?
[00:06:51] He kind of... I'm not sure what that is. Me neither. I heard it. Gazooontite! Yes. Off Chance is my bitchin' crazy password, I don't know. I now want to do that just randomly say, just bullshit to people. You know, the pineapple pizza arrives at midnight.
[00:07:15] And they're like what? Just the off chance is a password. Just the off chance. I'm sorry, I don't know what that means. Is that from somewhere or something where you're from? Yeah. It's all proverb. Where the fucking groundskeeper go? The groundskeeper went back to outside. I'll follow him.
[00:07:45] That's fine, he's just doing his groundskeeping chores. He's just outside picking up leaves doing what he needs to do. I'm going to go in a shack. Yeah, again there's nothing in the shack. Nothing at all. It's literally like a studio apartment. It is not a psychedelic shack.
[00:08:04] Is it a love shack? The curate apple kind of says, I'm sorry, if you're not here to worship what are you here for? I don't know. We continue to be led along on further and further tangents by this narrative
[00:08:25] and we're a little unsure at this point that we should be here. It's roughly midnight and we're all becoming a bit confused on the plot. What did Dan Berry say about the groundskeeper? He could help you learn more or lead the way, something to that effect.
[00:08:44] He was vague and high. Very true. And then the equally vague groundskeeper brought us to this guy. Shot my shot and apparently... Arrest everyone. Just everyone. Just arrest them all. Arrest them all and burn their homes down. It would solve a lot of problems.
[00:09:02] I'm not going to arrest the priest. Yeah, I don't think he knows what's going on. I think the groundskeeper, we need to... Scratch his balls. So again, he asks why are you here? What are you doing in the city? Oh, why are we in the city?
[00:09:16] If you're not here to worship, what are you doing? You can only be in the city to worship? Well, that's why people come to the cathedral. At least sightseeing. Yeah, cool buildings. Beautiful building, yes. Great architecture. Yes. Sure. Would you like a tour? No. I'd like a tour.
[00:09:43] I imagine just as he says no, I say... Yes! I mean yes. And he kind of starts walking around the cathedral and points at various things and explains, you know, Galdun and the Sun God and all this lore and history of their God and their deity.
[00:10:01] He says downstairs, if you wish, he opens up Niren Gate and it goes down to like the vaults underneath the cathedral where you actually see Sarkophagi and effigies of dead kings that fill the spaces between the support columns. Do I smell dead things? Weirdly enough you don't.
[00:10:25] You see wooden saints cracked with age, their paint is flaking away, they stand in the gaps or they lean against the walls, some of them are even shrouded in white drop cloths like pantomime ghosts. The silent statuary congregation feels like a mocking reflection of the worshipful throngs above.
[00:10:48] And he says, this is our... Mausoleum? Yes, to a degree. Long-sensed dead... Crypt? Priests and kings lie here. No they don't! I'm sorry? I don't smell any dead shit. No. Because I would even smell ancient dead shit. Correct. He's got good nose. I'm sorry, it's so... I'm not...
[00:11:25] Sarkophagus, right? Yes. I'm very unsure why you're here. Walk over and nudge the lid of the nearest Sarkophagus. It wouldn't move easily. Big boy. Strength check. Excuse me, sacred, please don't. Sacred? You ever heard of Sarkophagus? This is a place of the dead. Everything here is sacred.
[00:11:51] Kings and priests, long since dead. There's nothing dead here. What do you mean there's nothing dead here? Because I would smell... Even if it was a mummy, I would smell it. Fact mummies are some of the most delicious. They've been aged to perfection. Correct.
[00:12:15] Give me some sort of either persuasion or something to convince this guy that you're not... No, I'm not trying to persuade him. I'm telling my party that I smell nothing dead here. Yeah, but he's trying... You're trying to convince the priest
[00:12:27] who is like what the fuck are you talking about at the same time? Oh, I'm not trying to convince him at all but I suppose you want me to roll persuasion, I will. Well, he doesn't want you to touch the Sarkophagi. Have him stop me. He's asking kindly.
[00:12:44] That's an A20. He says, show me. I push aside the nearest Sarkophagus. It's empty. No, dead. He kind of looks around and is kind of another disbelief. He says open another and he kind of points at one. They're all empty. Everything you open is empty.
[00:13:11] You sit on a throne of lies. Oh, sorry. Oh, jeez. Who does your flock really worship? I don't know. I mean, of course, there's the rumors of this cult but I'm not sure. Is that why you're here? Are you seeking the cult?
[00:13:38] Did we not do the I Am the Law to him yet? I don't think so. No one did. I don't want to do that because if this is cult leader and he's trying to sniff us out... Roll me in. I feel like he's dupe.
[00:13:55] If he were cult leader and I said there aren't any dead, he would have known the jig was up. He seemed genuinely confused. Maybe. What am I rolling? I was going to say... You can roll... It doesn't matter. He is genuinely confused.
[00:14:09] He has no idea why the Sarkophagus are empty and is not sure what the hell's going on. Who really worships in this church? As far as I'm aware, Galdun and our followers, I don't understand what's happening here. I'll show them the writ.
[00:14:29] Explain that we've been tasked to root out the cult. He kind of scratches his head and scratches his chin. Okay, so... 400 years ago this group of cultists were here. Something about the sleeper. There used to be a book. I had a book, I had a book.
[00:14:57] He kind of just looks around the room. He kind of... He literally goes... There are a couple small bookshelves and he kind of... Where's it at? Couldn't have walked away by itself. And he eventually says, He pulls this book out and he touches a ring on his finger
[00:15:23] and a light appears. And he says, It's this leather-bound book. He sets it on a lectern. It kind of shuffles through the pages. He says, See, it was... It was eliminated by... Those are gone the fourth who fought against the Green Blasphemers.
[00:15:47] Here, and he shows you a very lavishly illustrated page of knights burying the Sun Tiddle of Galdun hacking into green-robed monks. And a bat-winged toad flaps across the sky carrying a knight's severed head. An amorphous blob of black and golfs a screaming nun
[00:16:08] into the background of village burns. He says, This is what it was like last time the followers of the sleeper rose up. Literal hell on earth. I want to... He touches his ring and a light appeared? Yeah. From the ring? Hmm? Okay. Clap on!
[00:16:29] Yeah, I mean you made it sound like he touches his ring and just a fucking light. No, no, they had like the ring lights up. I can do that too. Ring light. With rocks. The basement also has a wooden arm-wire
[00:16:47] which if you look at it holds vestments for the priests. There's an iron-bound chest that holds a bunch of decor that would be put into various areas of the cathedral itself during certain time frames. A lot of stone sarcophagi burying effigies of dead curates and kings
[00:17:09] which we talked about. You note that they are empty. We definitely should have not left the groundskeeper now. I'm still with him. The cat is stalking his prey. Let me perception checks. That's three of you in this room. That's pretty good. 19 on the day. 21. Eight. 18.
[00:17:37] 21 and the 18 you notice. One of the statues kind of seems strangely out of place near a door that is locked. It's covered by a cloth shroud. The statue near a door and it's covered by a shroud. The statue is covered by a shroud, yes.
[00:17:58] And it's out of place how? It's not sitting between the columns or any other alcoves like the other statues. It's just in front of a door. It's in front of a door. It's in front of a door and you also see
[00:18:13] scratch marks on the floor as if it's been moved back and forth a lot. Yeet that shit. What's behind the, what's in the door there? The priest will tell you that's the door to the catacombs. We cannot go in there. It is a sacred place.
[00:18:28] Double yeet that shit. Mark's on the floor though that this statue is being moved recently and many times so... He kind of shrugs and says I don't come down here often. I'm sorry. Seems like somebody is. He just shrugs. I'm sorry, I don't know.
[00:18:50] What's it a statue of? I pull the shroud. You see a statue of a corpulent monk with a toad-like face wearing green robes. Oh no! Wisdom saving throw. There are three of you. Nat 20. I'm immune to this forever. Eight. Twelve. You taking another level of dread, Cody?
[00:19:25] No, I don't. Spinlock. I also need investigation checks if you wish. Nope. Roll a one. Sixteen. Eighteen. The two of you noticed that the scratch marks do kind of end and not a central area but a more centralized area and sort of around it.
[00:19:52] You look around and you see like drips of where green wax has dropped under the floor. So we've run into some cultists recently found some green candles on their person there seems to be some green wax around this well clearly cultist statue in front of this door so
[00:20:15] math may not be your strong suit two plus two probably equals four behind this door. Did not mean for that to rhyme but hey here we are. He just sort of he sort of nods an understanding and says
[00:20:32] it's a sacred place no one has entered in many years. Do you have a key? Gonna again say that's not true. I eat the statue. The statue shatters it doesn't make a difference. No I know. We could now if the doorway is open.
[00:20:51] No it's not the doorway is locked and closed. I kick the door. Doesn't move. Well thankfully I have these doors. Do you have a key to this door? Probably. So if you wish to speak to him you may. He seems very saddened. I will ask for
[00:21:16] I forgot your name. That's okay I forgot yours too. I forgot my name. I know Cassius. I know Cyrus and I know Mr. Cuddles. Wimples. Wimples so close. Mr. Bigglesworth. Mr. Would have been easier. Magnus. A lot of us is. Can you go find our furry friend?
[00:21:45] Why not? And bring Groundskeeper Willy. Yeah Groundskeeper Horner. Not a problem. Has he been doing anything other than just his groundskeeper? He's doing his chores. He's just smoking pot. Kat's up there looking himself watching the groundskeeper.
[00:22:07] You go outside and you see the cat is just watching him like rake leaves. Here's something I want to try. Is there because I can test this at will within the vicinity a gate of slumber. Nope. Hey Kat. What's a gate of slumber?
[00:22:31] It's a thing that Dreamlands cat can suss out. Nothing you need to worry about. You ain't a dream walker yet. You'll get there. You'll cat. Meow. Is there anything interesting? Meow. It's time for us to go down to the basement. Meow? I know.
[00:22:53] We need to grab this guy by the way. He's just like raking leaves whistling. Oh hello. Tap tap. Yes. Hi. You needed to come with me. Where to? Downstairs. Oh no we don't need to go downstairs until after dark. We really need to go right now.
[00:23:11] There's nothing there. Is there? He's just continuing to rake leaves. Come around midnight. Join us in our math. I really don't want to have a strong arm you. So would you come with me willingly?
[00:23:28] He just kind of leans on his rake and says you do better at midnight. Two of you are still in the basement. I believe the cat went outside to check on the dragon who was discussing things. Wait the dragon? Dragonborn. I'm basically a my pre-old dragon. Oh yeah.
[00:23:49] Who was speaking to the groundskeeper. You are so in character for cat it's perfect. No no no it's Flynn embodies cat. Flynn has always embodied cat. Flynn is cat. There's nothing wrong with this. Flynn is cat. Cat is Flynn. They are one. Horst Grinnell. Communed.
[00:24:05] Do you also knock things off the table randomly? You'll find out. Yeah the dragonborn is discussing it was talking to Horst Grinnell who told him to return at midnight. That's pretty much where we cut off. So the cat sees this conversation.
[00:24:21] Why aren't we moving a statue or some shit? You destroyed that statue already. Right but there was a door right? That you could not get into yes. Did they do a strength check? I can't remember. Or is it just immovable? Immutable.
[00:24:35] I don't remember if you did a check or not. Either way it didn't open. I think it is unneuratably movable. Unneuratably unmovable. Lucas is being a little bitch. If we turn this into a total tongue twister we have succeeded. He's had half a beer. Scout beer. Heavy boy.
[00:25:01] He hasn't stuttered on any of the terms yet. You say that tongue twister. I don't remember even what you said because you said it wrong three times. What was he trying to say? Just blame it on a GM. Narratively immovable. Immutable or immovable? I use both terms.
[00:25:26] I stand by my statement. I was going for unneuratably immovable. That's where I was headed. Then I realized that as I said that I'm pretty sure I'm contradicting myself. Yeah, it's a little double negative. I tried to stop and that was the problem.
[00:25:41] None of us would have caught that except for the English major. I can't talk. Has anybody checked the door? You guys are upstairs there downstairs. Let's do you two first. You are inside his cabin or outside his near-
[00:25:58] No, he was doing yard work so that's when you're out. I'm just happy that I haven't gone full killing everybody yet. This is a big deal for me. Because I usually do that by the end of the first session. Why not? Just do it.
[00:26:14] Let's see whether he does something that deserves it first. He's Lucas' character. As he said, midnight neutral enough. The last thing Horst said was you should return at midnight. You do better at midnight. Join our mass. Did I check his house? I think I remember this.
[00:26:41] There was nothing like search investigation brought up nothing. I don't remember if you searched his all area or not. I don't recall. It might be messing that up but I don't recall. You're welcome. I'll let you sneak in there and check.
[00:26:56] Either you didn't roll high or I don't recall. I'm pretty sure I did. Maybe I just didn't roll high enough. I don't know. I was either that or I checked him for lies. It's been almost two months since we played.
[00:27:10] That's where you've got the helm of telekinesis that you're not wearing. It's the size of a cup. You have mind bullets now. So you see this conversation happening. Per what we established, you can still communicate with other people if you'd like to.
[00:27:30] I'll look at you, flick my tail and just kind of look towards the church and kind of insinuate that get him let's take him down. Rolling an interpretation check. Insight. The idea that you're like doesn't he have a telekinesis with the party or telepathy with the party.
[00:27:58] Some sort of communication. So let's take him down. He does some sort of tele. Should I do a strength check to see if I can pick up the gardener and take him with us? Whatever you want to do. You can talk to him. Just say you're under arrest.
[00:28:14] I like the idea that you do an interpretive dance and he just pulls out a weapon and just stabs the guy in the throat. Not yet. He's like, oh no wait sorry I got I got kill not I talk. I haven't murdered anybody yet that hasn't deserved it.
[00:28:31] He's like, I'm gonna get angry meow and then re dance again. He's like, oh I miss I miss I miss the second leg lift there my bad. I'll just proceed to walk away from the gardener towards the church to go downstairs see if he follows me. Wow.
[00:28:50] I can't actually read your mind in real life. Flynn. What? The characters can talk just talk to each other. I'm not with you. I'm going downstairs would you like to come with me Mr. Gardner? Oh I have so much work to do.
[00:29:09] Well you said to come back at midnight. Yes yes yes. Tell me why. Join our mass at midnight. Come with me. Do you have anything cool to open this door? I have a lot of work to do here. Sword.
[00:29:21] And then when he pops a spirit of saunty type shit. If you'd like to like intimidate him you can roll for intimidation. He's a gardener right? He's a gardener. You can roll to intimidate him. A fog cloud. You got to work? Maybe.
[00:29:34] I'm tempted to whether intimidate him or just use fire bolt on his garden. He won't have any work if there's no garden. Fair point. There's some logic there. Might also like incite a lot of eyes on what you're doing but.
[00:29:52] Haven't we already like destroyed a drug cartel and like set fire to a building and like. You didn't start that fire. We did not start that fire. But it's been burning since the world has been turned.
[00:30:01] And unfortunately lost our free housing because the guards wouldn't let us stay or something ridiculous like that. GM. Yeah Lucas making shitty rules. You guys called the police? The police took over the investigation. It's a crime scene now. Not all of it's a crime scene.
[00:30:20] I didn't kill someone in every room. Lucas does he have anything on this person noticeable? The. The Gardner. A key. Roll me a perception check. These cat eyes. Bartik inspiration. Thank you barbarian. Barbaric inspiration. Barbarian inspiration. Just do it! 14.
[00:30:49] You see the glint of a chain just off the side like as he stands. So we're doing. Yeah I'm gonna. The thing that cats do when they kind of claw up your leg. Reach out and stretch. Yeah stretch.
[00:31:07] I'm going to do that on his leg and just kind of gauge his reaction. He reaches down to pet you. I'm gonna nuzzle him a little bit. Then I'm gonna scale him. Oh Jesus. Get up to his neck and with my teeth take that chain off. Climb check.
[00:31:21] Oh my god. I have a climb speed of 30. Do I need to make a check? Oh I forgot you had a climb speed. No you can climb up there but then give me a... It's not a slight of hand because you're doing it pretty bad. Give me strength.
[00:31:38] Grapple check. I'll tell ya. Might be an opposed check actually. Let me see what he's under. Does he expect the cat at the speed of lightning to remove his necklace from him? Can make an argument for athletics.
[00:31:52] I'm just trying to deftly get it off before you can really react. I mean if you're climbing up and he's probably doing motions like a wacky inflatable or a filling tube man. So yes because...
[00:32:08] I'll give you athletics but it's still going to be opposed to him trying to maneuver around. What's athletics under? Strength. Strength but I roll it with decks. I roll it with 14. I got a 15. You snag as Jane. Right? What do I pull up? What do I unearth?
[00:32:32] It's a cultish amulet. Alright and I'm going to just beeline into the church with that in my mouth. He says hey and he will run after you. What kind of metal is it? It's silver. Pure silver? I don't know if it's pure silver but it is silver.
[00:32:48] Silver plated. Yeah. Zinc, oxy-um. So far that's what we've seen our multiple silver. Yeah because we get money for those don't we? 15 gold per. But there's another thing we get too. If we give them to the other person we get a plating.
[00:33:05] There was a specific way to give it to him but yes. We need to keep a luster one. We need a hand as well. Oh yeah. Didn't we need to like press it into the hand? No. We need a hand and a metal. There's more to it.
[00:33:22] I think I have one of the hand and the metal. Yeah the head has to be a specific hand and you have to wrap it. You have to wrap it up so that the metal doesn't fall out of it. Can't remember whose hand.
[00:33:34] Yeah I didn't write any of that now. It's a shame. No it's terrible. We can just brute force it. And you need to fight with them total? Yeah so help me God if he's like no you have to wrap the hand with cloth. I'm just gonna gut him.
[00:33:47] He didn't specify a type of cloth but like just bring both hands. A bandage or something as long as it was all wrapped together. I catch you two hands and a nose. What do you want? So I do have one of the metals and I do have cloth.
[00:34:01] I just don't have the hand yet. I got two running after me so. You will have to sever it because I don't remember whose hand I need to chop off yet. Both of them. Just take both. I don't remember who.
[00:34:11] Keep some of the sinew connected so it's like the little kid gloves. We got both of them connected together. We can just tie it all up. My question isn't which hand, it's whose hand. Am I gonna have to just start taking everybody's hand I need? 100% yes.
[00:34:28] Well there goes my pacifist run. 10% of the time you're right 100% of the time. Those percentages are goofy. We were talking whether or not you could auto load an arbalist earlier. There is no passivity to the run that you are planning.
[00:34:45] So I've figured out why I didn't have a higher level weapon. I need to get the martial weapons beat first. You don't have to. There's truth to this. Anyway you can pick up a weapon and shoot it. It's just how accurate you are. Blunderbuss, accuracy is relevant. Yes.
[00:35:09] If you put enough bullets down range you don't have to be accurate. Why stop at that just carry a homemade ballista. Work hug goes brrrrrrr. You rush into the church, you guys see the cat running down with a metal.
[00:35:25] It's probably tink tink tink tink on the steps as he comes down. You see the groundskeeper with a rake running after the cat and you assume the dragon board not far around. I started walking first. I'm still walking.
[00:35:42] Well then the dragon board enters first and you see these things rushed by you. So Troy how do you want to get in this door? I don't know. I don't have anything special in particular. Wait so we're down there with them?
[00:35:57] Yeah the two of you see everybody running down. Okay I'm going to say he has a key. Oh he might not be forthcoming with it. But we can find something that we do. My specialty. I will wrangle the gardener. The grapple check I guess.
[00:36:21] Is the priest still down here with us? I don't remember. He was unaware, legitimately unaware of whatever was happening. I believe he did leave but I don't recall. If not then at this point he walks away. As the cat comes from chasing the priest,
[00:36:40] he throws up his hands. Perhaps he's going up the stairs as you're going down. I literally just cannot remember it's been so long since we played. Sorry for people at home. He throws up his hands and says nope, walks away. Done.
[00:36:54] I roll a 24 to attack and grapple him. Is that Dex to get out? It's an attack action so does it hit his AC? Yeah, absolutely. He is grappled. Tis grappled. I like to think that he's running after Flynn and I just
[00:37:13] reach out and just grab him by the throat and just lift him up so his feet are just dangling. Grappled. Condition grappled. You have the gardener. Key. And I point his face towards the door. He goes, he kind of scrambles a little bit and says
[00:37:37] what do you want him there for? That's our crypt. It's not where we hold our masses. I will frisk the gardener. Get frisky. You eventually find a key. A set of keys really. Many keys. It's a janitor's key. It's got 50 fucking keys. Good luck. I start trying keys.
[00:38:01] Roll decks to not drop them and start over. You will find a key that eventually clicks out while I go. I look at the cat and then look at the gardener. Might have more information. Keep him around. I now clutch him to my chest. Reception checks?
[00:38:20] Now I've got him under the throat but still have him so his feet can't dangle. 22. A gentleman's above average eight. Sir. 15. 7. Are you better than Troy? Okay. Two of you here footsteps coming down the stairs. Coming down the stairs. Behind you. So okay.
[00:38:47] Coming into the, I don't know what they call this. It's not technically the... Does it go in? It's just the basement? It is technically called the basement. Well it would be a... What would you call that? It's not the catacomb, it's the basement. It's a crypt.
[00:39:05] It's where they have their church potlucks. Maybe. I mean, didn't we like remove the tops of like... A couple of them, yeah. Sarcophagi? Like it's a crypt is what it is. They title it as the basement but yes.
[00:39:20] I mean most of us don't have bodies in our basement. Most. You hear a couple sets of footsteps click, click, click. I will... What feats go click, click, click? People going downstairs. Your feet click. Tap dancers. I don't know about you but I...
[00:39:41] I usually go downstairs really fast. It's just me though. I'm going to let out an alert meow. Somebody that sits on their butt and goes boom, boom, boom, boom. And turn around and look what's going on.
[00:39:51] I do a hand back while still holding the gardener out of the chin. You see three individuals who look a little shocked at what's happening with the... I don't want to keep one to say gardener but he is the groundskeeper, you know, being held up.
[00:40:09] Meow? What do they look like? They're three humans. How are they dressed? Garb please. They all... Metal, heat metal? They are not guards. They all are wearing cloaks. Like it's... They're wearing long cloaks. Green cloaks? Yes. Oh, okay. Snick. This game is played. The door is unlocked.
[00:40:40] Do you also open it? Yeah. Cool. You open the door. You meow. You also notice this by the way. You also notice the two people, three people coming down. What was it? Two or three? It's three. Big difference. They're increasing in number. They multiply like pygmies.
[00:41:02] So I don't know what your reaction is to the situation. One of them says, oh, it's just everything all right. And you just see Horus like kicking. He's turning, he's turning. Probably. And one of them... What is he carrying? He's got a gun! He's got a gun?
[00:41:30] He's coming right at us. One of them reaches into his side and pulls out a scimitar. I throw my axe. It's unhand him. I throw my axe at him. You have your hands full with a person. You can't throw an axe. Absolutely I can.
[00:41:44] You tell me I can't. With 24, I can't hold this guy under the throat and throw an axe. You've got him with both hands. I throw the gardener. That's a more viable option. Alright, suck it Lucas. Roll initiative. How much damage does a gardener do?
[00:41:59] How much damage does a gardener do Lucas? Look at fans of the wrinkles problem.
