[00:00:16] Bancors Brothel presents The Big Sleep Umithos 5e Adventure.

[00:01:24] Did have a great axe though.

[00:01:26] Search the bodies.

[00:01:28] Does have a great axe.

[00:01:31] Find the loot.

[00:01:33] Maybe a not so great axe.

[00:01:34] Oh my god is that.

[00:01:38] Learn how to fucking drive.

[00:01:42] Yeah, the great axe is, the great axe and um, scale mail are the only thing it is carrying.

[00:01:52] It's wearing a scale mail.

[00:01:55] Write that down.

[00:01:57] Do do do do do.

[00:02:00] Those are both things that are kind of valuable.

[00:02:04] Which one are you writing down?

[00:02:06] I think he's trying to look to see about wearing the scale mail.

[00:02:15] Well, I think you've reached the requirements for it.

[00:02:18] I can.

[00:02:20] So.

[00:02:20] What's that?

[00:02:21] I'm wearing scale mail so if you have requirements similar to mine you should be able to.

[00:02:25] If it's better than what you have.

[00:02:27] Yeah, you just.

[00:02:28] What are you wearing now?

[00:02:29] In your damn business.

[00:02:32] He's a Calvin Klein guy.

[00:02:36] Me undies all the way.

[00:02:41] I'm blowing the crotch out of a lot of my me undies though unfortunately.

[00:02:45] So I've had them for so long.

[00:02:46] It's chained?

[00:02:48] Scale.

[00:02:49] Scale.

[00:02:49] Oh scale.

[00:02:53] 15 plus disadvantage?

[00:02:55] Yeah, it does give me disadvantage.

[00:02:57] Um.

[00:02:59] Probably a couple extra points of.

[00:03:01] I think there's a feat you can take later that might alter that, but yes.

[00:03:11] Oh, yeah, no, cause I'm already.

[00:03:14] No, I'm already there so never mind.

[00:03:16] I don't need it.

[00:03:17] Okay.

[00:03:18] Still gonna be valuable to write down and say.

[00:03:20] Uh, you may collect four silver talismans and one gold.

[00:03:24] Nice.

[00:03:25] And another gold, uh, war pick.

[00:03:28] Nice.

[00:03:29] Gilded war pick.

[00:03:30] Write that down.

[00:03:32] Whoever has the gold war pick just put a two next to it.

[00:03:39] You're getting off of firing a book there, Lucas.

[00:03:42] Yeah, there's three chapters per book.

[00:03:44] Yeah, I know.

[00:03:45] I'm just saying we're getting, we're getting there.

[00:03:47] You're in chapter, you're roughly halfway through chapter two.

[00:03:50] Roughly halfway through this dungeon.

[00:03:52] Depending on where you go.

[00:03:54] Um.

[00:03:56] Yep.

[00:04:00] Otherwise, you just see crystal shards all around you.

[00:04:04] Um, around the perimeter of the room as well as the one that just shattered.

[00:04:08] And then there's like four torches kind of around that, where that thing was at before it crumbled.

[00:04:14] And a bunch of dead baddies.

[00:04:16] There is an exit, um, on the east side, well, south, east side.

[00:04:21] It's going more south than it is east.

[00:04:23] Cause you guys came in from up here, so it'd be down there.

[00:04:26] Directly across from the entrance you came in.

[00:04:28] Detect magic.

[00:04:31] Uh, ritual?

[00:04:34] Hmm?

[00:04:34] You casting as a ritual?

[00:04:36] I just didn't know if there was downtime.

[00:04:40] It's like a ten minute casting time in it.

[00:04:42] No, it's a, well for a ritual it is.

[00:04:45] Uh.

[00:04:45] Just didn't know if he was using a spell or not.

[00:04:47] Do, oh yeah, I'll do that cause I, yeah.

[00:04:51] Ritual.

[00:04:52] So, like ten minutes.

[00:04:53] Um, you don't see anything magical in this room.

[00:04:56] Okay.

[00:04:58] Other than your, uh, weapon.

[00:05:03] Nothing even off the crystals?

[00:05:05] Mm-mm.

[00:05:05] That's weird.

[00:05:08] Well, it's, it broke so.

[00:05:12] It's not magical anymore.

[00:05:14] It probably was at one point.

[00:05:17] It's only 10.30.

[00:05:19] You're only 10.30.

[00:05:20] Boom.

[00:05:22] Lawyer.

[00:05:22] Got him.

[00:05:23] Uh, fuck.

[00:05:24] I presume then you head southeast?

[00:05:27] Oh, you guys need to heal a little bit.

[00:05:30] I think I'm really the only one who took a good chunk of damage.

[00:05:32] If he's taking ten minutes, that's technically a ten minute rest.

[00:05:35] You can use your head die if you'd like.

[00:05:38] I'll roll it.

[00:05:39] I'll roll it.

[00:05:39] That's not a bad idea.

[00:05:44] Alex, are you down any health?

[00:05:46] I'm down by eight.

[00:05:49] I can cast a spell on me if I need to, but...

[00:05:53] Mm-hmm.

[00:05:54] Oh, yeah, plus your call.

[00:05:55] Sorry.

[00:05:57] Okay.

[00:05:58] I just have to remember I used my, um...

[00:06:00] Is there any way to indicate that on that thing?

[00:06:02] I'm gonna say, they're rolling the head die, so if you wanted to roll...

[00:06:04] Well, my head die are different, so I used the bigger one.

[00:06:07] Well, that makes sense.

[00:06:10] You can still, you still only get half back of what you used or whatever it is.

[00:06:16] And I'm full.

[00:06:18] Okay.

[00:06:21] Um, I presume then after you get some hit points back, you detect no magic, you go down said hallway?

[00:06:30] We picked up all the loot already?

[00:06:31] Yeah, there aren't any other options, right?

[00:06:33] Yeah, that's literally the only other exit out of this room.

[00:06:35] All right, there we go.

[00:06:37] Do we only have one fork in this area?

[00:06:41] Mm-hmm.

[00:06:42] Thus far, yes.

[00:06:43] One fork, no spoons.

[00:06:45] Who wrote down the Warpik?

[00:06:47] Hmm?

[00:06:47] Who wrote down the...

[00:06:48] Okay, well.

[00:06:50] Making sure we didn't leave anything.

[00:06:52] You do see a door that goes into another area.

[00:06:57] A doorway or a door closed?

[00:06:59] It's a doorway.

[00:07:00] Okay.

[00:07:01] They say door, but there's only a couple of them that are specified that actual doors you have to open.

[00:07:05] Okay.

[00:07:06] So, it's a doorway.

[00:07:08] All stealth.

[00:07:09] Um, it smells sort of...

[00:07:13] Gas.

[00:07:13] Brackish.

[00:07:14] Does it smell like death?

[00:07:16] I get bonuses if I think it smells like death.

[00:07:18] Does not smell like death.

[00:07:19] Smells, uh, brackish.

[00:07:20] 16.

[00:07:21] To stealth.

[00:07:22] Into this cave.

[00:07:25] Water drips from the ceiling.

[00:07:27] In this dank, limestone cave.

[00:07:29] Collecting in murky pools.

[00:07:31] Slick with green slime.

[00:07:33] Oh, he's slimy.

[00:07:36] Um...

[00:07:36] It looks...

[00:07:37] It almost looks like a swamp in this place.

[00:07:41] And...

[00:07:42] You hear an ogre.

[00:07:43] You see...

[00:07:44] Get out of your swamp!

[00:07:46] I can draw it, but I don't really want...

[00:07:47] Where's your little...

[00:07:49] Can you reach out there and get that dry erase board?

[00:07:51] That's at the top of that.

[00:07:53] Are there markers with it as well?

[00:07:56] Possibly.

[00:07:59] Lucas has got to show off his superior art skills.

[00:08:02] Let's see.

[00:08:03] He's not going to be that superior.

[00:08:05] Oh, you motherfucker.

[00:08:10] Ah, so you're kind of coming in from here.

[00:08:13] And it kind of goes like this.

[00:08:16] A little larger than this, but...

[00:08:18] There's sort of this walkway.

[00:08:27] So this is your door.

[00:08:30] And so it kind of...

[00:08:32] It kind of looks like a...

[00:08:35] A slimy walkway above these little pools of murky water down below you.

[00:08:43] Hmm.

[00:08:45] Water dripping from the ceiling above.

[00:08:47] So we're like on an observation deck with things below us that are going to come up and eat our balls.

[00:08:52] It's like hungry, hungry hippos.

[00:08:54] It is foul in here.

[00:08:56] What are...

[00:08:57] What's this walkway made of?

[00:08:59] How many chickens?

[00:09:00] Um, it is...

[00:09:03] It is stone.

[00:09:05] And it looks slick.

[00:09:06] And it is considered difficult terrain.

[00:09:08] Slick shoes!

[00:09:11] Okay, everybody take a running long jump first.

[00:09:16] I don't think it's much larger than the last dream either.

[00:09:19] This reminds me of when we would flood the basement of the fraternity house and just have a giant slip and slide.

[00:09:24] Yeah.

[00:09:24] That's not a perfect drawing.

[00:09:25] There's technically four different directions.

[00:09:28] Well...

[00:09:29] You're the artist.

[00:09:31] Well, I wasn't looking at the photo.

[00:09:32] I just drew it from memory and my memory is obviously shit.

[00:09:36] It looks like this.

[00:09:38] It actually looks nothing like this.

[00:09:40] I mean, it's close.

[00:09:41] I made an eraser.

[00:09:42] It's under you.

[00:09:44] Still under you.

[00:09:46] Look to your left.

[00:09:48] Most people aren't.

[00:09:55] Are you?

[00:09:56] I don't have to tell you that.

[00:10:01] Let's assume that I am.

[00:10:03] Just for argument.

[00:10:05] Are you the cops or my mother?

[00:10:06] No, then I don't have to tell you!

[00:10:09] You a cop?

[00:10:11] You a cop?

[00:10:12] What the fuck is this?

[00:10:14] This is totally different than what the fuck he just drew.

[00:10:20] I kind of wish we could send photos onto the podcast for comparison.

[00:10:24] Oh, you can!

[00:10:24] Like, we do that every once in a while.

[00:10:26] Like, hey guys, look at this shit thing somebody drew.

[00:10:29] Catch us out in a new episode.

[00:10:31] That would have been...

[00:10:32] Coming out sometime.

[00:10:32] That would have been a great thing.

[00:10:33] This is what he wrote originally, and this is what he wrote this time.

[00:10:40] Are these the same thing?

[00:10:42] Two doors?

[00:10:43] Other doors?

[00:10:44] Three.

[00:10:44] Well, there's two other doors, yes.

[00:10:46] One door here.

[00:10:47] I'm not concerned about the one we were coming in.

[00:10:48] This one, and this is the one you came in.

[00:10:51] And the last one's the dead end.

[00:10:54] You gotta go check out the dead end.

[00:10:56] It's not a dead end.

[00:10:57] Fucking secret door.

[00:10:59] My dungeon sense is tingling.

[00:11:02] Say friend.

[00:11:04] Why be nice?

[00:11:05] Hit the door.

[00:11:06] Is it like a souls game?

[00:11:12] Run over there and hit it with a sword and it disappears?

[00:11:14] Yeah.

[00:11:16] Illusionary wall.

[00:11:20] I throw the cat.

[00:11:23] Sure.

[00:11:23] I hear that thought too.

[00:11:26] The cat's at the end right away.

[00:11:27] That's what you see.

[00:11:29] Well, I'll relay this to the folk and...

[00:11:34] Walk in.

[00:11:35] Yeah, walk on in.

[00:11:36] There's no danger here.

[00:11:37] So this is difficult terrain in this room.

[00:11:39] Do I have anything that says fuck difficult terrain?

[00:11:42] I wonder if cats do, but I don't know.

[00:11:45] I don't think the tabaxi did though.

[00:11:47] Although it's not a tiny cat.

[00:11:48] We surely won't get attacked and or face some sort of trap or hazard in the room where

[00:11:52] he's reminded us it's difficult terrain three times in the last five minutes.

[00:11:57] Why would he do that unless he's an asshole?

[00:12:00] It cuts your movement in half.

[00:12:02] Yes, and?

[00:12:04] Which doesn't matter if there's no danger.

[00:12:07] Right, yeah.

[00:12:07] Yeah, there's no danger in any of these rooms.

[00:12:09] It's all fine.

[00:12:09] Difficult terrain is not really a problem unless you're running away or fighting something, so...

[00:12:16] Sure.

[00:12:17] Hmm.

[00:12:18] How far down is the brackish water?

[00:12:21] You wouldn't be able to tell.

[00:12:22] It's completely opaque and disgusting.

[00:12:27] Under the bridge.

[00:12:28] I'd pick up a rock and throw it off of the thing.

[00:12:31] How far down does it go?

[00:12:34] You can't see the bottom.

[00:12:36] I don't care how deep it is.

[00:12:38] How far is it to the surface of the water?

[00:12:40] Oh, to the surface of the water.

[00:12:42] Yes!

[00:12:43] Oh, it's only about a foot and a half to two feet below the walking level.

[00:12:50] Okay, so we're not on a giant observation platform to spin it.

[00:12:53] No, no, it's not like...

[00:12:54] Yeah.

[00:12:55] Because that was the picture I was getting.

[00:12:57] Gotcha.

[00:12:58] Sorry.

[00:12:58] I wasn't understanding the question.

[00:12:59] I thought you were trying to ask how deep the water is.

[00:13:01] I'm like...

[00:13:02] Well, I mean...

[00:13:05] I'll walk to the door on the left.

[00:13:08] I guess the one straight ahead.

[00:13:11] It looks left from this direction.

[00:13:18] A bear paw pops up out of the water and just swipes.

[00:13:25] While a strange buzzsaw comes out of the cable.

[00:13:28] Not again!

[00:13:32] Inspector Gadget!

[00:13:37] You get right about to the middle of that thing and you hear a high-pitched squeal.

[00:13:46] Like...

[00:13:46] Almost at a whisper and then it kind of...

[00:13:49] It's almost like an alarm.

[00:13:50] Like it gets super fucking loud.

[00:13:52] As a small creature comes flying down, it looks like a mix between a toad and a bat.

[00:14:01] Bokrug!

[00:14:03] And you also see water...

[00:14:06] This little sort of inlet here kind of comes into close to where the middle is.

[00:14:10] Begin to bubble and from below there comes out a giant toad.

[00:14:15] Oh, shit.

[00:14:18] Roll initiative.

[00:14:20] Initiative!

[00:14:23] You take the initiative.

[00:14:25] So I gotta look up giant toad.

[00:14:28] Hmm.

[00:14:28] Oh, wow.

[00:14:30] I rolled double digits.

[00:14:32] Me too.

[00:14:32] I rolled relatively high double digits.

[00:14:37] Not me.

[00:14:39] I got as high as you can get.

[00:14:43] She's so high.

[00:14:46] No, thank you.

[00:14:49] She's so lovely!

[00:14:51] Cause she's so high!

[00:14:57] Cleopatra, Joan of Arc.

[00:15:00] There's a song that no one out there outside of a specific genre...

[00:15:04] Outside of a specific age group knows.

[00:15:07] Hmm?

[00:15:08] Oh, that song?

[00:15:09] Yeah, 100%.

[00:15:10] Well, yeah.

[00:15:10] It's usually what happens with One Hit Wonders.

[00:15:16] It's initiative time!

[00:15:23] Cody, initiative?

[00:15:32] 21.

[00:15:33] Blackjack.

[00:15:34] Wow, I'm Alex.

[00:15:36] 23.

[00:15:37] Ooh, Flynn?

[00:15:38] 14.

[00:15:39] Troy?

[00:15:40] 20.

[00:15:41] Oh!

[00:15:41] Nice.

[00:15:43] It's almost like the discussion of how difficult the terrain was prepared us for combat.

[00:15:48] Yeah.

[00:15:49] So damn difficult.

[00:15:51] They better have trouble moving on this terrain as well, Lucas.

[00:15:57] Well, they can fly, so...

[00:15:59] Well, I don't think the frog can.

[00:16:02] God, I hope not.

[00:16:03] There's the flying frog and then there's the giant frog.

[00:16:06] Yeah.

[00:16:07] So...

[00:16:08] Alex gets to start.

[00:16:11] You're gonna have to wrestle that giant frog.

[00:16:14] Done.

[00:16:17] I just leap on it and just roll around in the water with it.

[00:16:22] I use my crossbow on the giant frog.

[00:16:26] Amphibians do have to breathe.

[00:16:28] Nat 20.

[00:16:29] Ooh!

[00:16:30] Damn!

[00:16:32] I'm gonna move you.

[00:16:33] He's gotta be pulling the Fodge over there.

[00:16:36] I don't think so.

[00:16:37] He's gonna move you to the front.

[00:16:38] Fair enough.

[00:16:38] He pulled a Fodge.

[00:16:41] Let me see, let me see.

[00:16:42] Oh yeah, it's a 20.

[00:16:44] Oh.

[00:16:45] I have not touched that thing since it moved.

[00:16:48] God love the kid again.

[00:16:48] God love the kid.

[00:16:49] But he was absolutely cheating every single time.

[00:16:53] Most impressive fucking wizard since Merlin.

[00:16:56] Yeah.

[00:16:57] Roll your die twice, edge modifier once.

[00:16:59] That's...

[00:17:00] That's what I thought.

[00:17:01] You don't...

[00:17:03] Oh, he shot a crossbow.

[00:17:08] 12.

[00:17:10] Crossfire.

[00:17:11] Yeah, we got him in the...

[00:17:16] Okay.

[00:17:16] Shunk.

[00:17:17] Um, it's a nice hit.

[00:17:20] Uh, Cody.

[00:17:21] You have to move into the room.

[00:17:25] Which is...

[00:17:27] Double your movement, so...

[00:17:30] Due to the terrain.

[00:17:31] Due to the terrain.

[00:17:31] I guess it should really draw the whole thing, so you know where the water is.

[00:17:34] If I move on the diagonal, 15 will put me next to the die, right Flynn?

[00:17:38] If I'm counting that right from my side.

[00:17:39] I think so, yeah.

[00:17:40] Yep.

[00:17:45] We gonna move you there?

[00:17:47] Yeah.

[00:17:50] So that thing is flying above your head.

[00:17:53] I'm like seven feet tall.

[00:17:55] Cool.

[00:17:57] Hit it.

[00:18:05] That's a 12 to hit it.

[00:18:07] Misses.

[00:18:08] It's a small creature.

[00:18:09] That's a nat 20 to hit it the second time though.

[00:18:11] That does hit it.

[00:18:12] Hit it good.

[00:18:13] And I get something fun on crits.

[00:18:15] You, you know.

[00:18:17] Cause I have...

[00:18:19] Picture it didn't happen.

[00:18:22] It is called a toad bat, by the way.

[00:18:25] Oh crap.

[00:18:26] Uh, it comes from the ghoul.

[00:18:33] A savage attack when you score critical hit with a melee weapon attack.

[00:18:41] Hands are weapons.

[00:18:42] Hands are weapons.

[00:18:43] You can roll one of the damage dice one additional time.

[00:18:45] So basically I get three damage dice.

[00:18:47] Damn.

[00:18:49] Which because of my...

[00:18:50] Hands are considered weapons?

[00:18:51] You're not a monk.

[00:18:52] I thought that was only for monks.

[00:18:54] Well, that's maybe true.

[00:18:55] That might be true.

[00:18:57] My biting claws are considered light finesse weapons.

[00:19:00] There you go.

[00:19:01] Yeah.

[00:19:02] Just because of the ghoul?

[00:19:05] Alright.

[00:19:10] Buckle my shoes.

[00:19:11] So I don't get the modifier, but I do get to roll 3d8 on the attack.

[00:19:14] Hey, roll 3d8.

[00:19:17] Roll higher.

[00:19:19] That's a real shit.

[00:19:20] Eight damage on 3d8.

[00:19:23] You hit it.

[00:19:26] Feels bad, man.

[00:19:28] Yeah, nah.

[00:19:31] Bonus actions?

[00:19:34] I used my bonus action to swing twice.

[00:19:37] Oh.

[00:19:38] Okay.

[00:19:39] So you're not raging.

[00:19:40] Noted.

[00:19:44] From Kote to Troy.

[00:19:46] Who is kind of in the hallway back there.

[00:19:49] So it's not difficult to run until you get into the green area.

[00:19:56] Um...

[00:19:58] So I'm going to...

[00:20:02] Long jump.

[00:20:10] 10 to run.

[00:20:14] 15.

[00:20:16] Right there.

[00:20:17] Interestingly enough...

[00:20:20] The player's handbook.

[00:20:22] How many things are you going to fuck up in my house?

[00:20:24] All of the things?

[00:20:25] Interestingly enough, Lucas, the player's handbook actually lists unarmed as simple melee weapons.

[00:20:31] Oh, does it?

[00:20:31] It does.

[00:20:32] I thought it was just a monk thing, I'm sorry.

[00:20:33] Nope.

[00:20:34] Since that is literally their weapon.

[00:20:37] Yeah.

[00:20:38] 17.

[00:20:40] Yeah, it makes sense since you have...

[00:20:42] Hang on.

[00:20:44] 17 you said?

[00:20:45] Yeah.

[00:20:47] Where is that?

[00:20:48] There it is.

[00:20:50] I'm so glad to see this.

[00:20:52] You...

[00:20:53] You land and kind of slip just a tad and you manage to stick it?

[00:21:02] Is that like a bonus for you to do that?

[00:21:05] Or...

[00:21:06] It's in the rules.

[00:21:07] Okay.

[00:21:09] Oh.

[00:21:10] Yeah.

[00:21:10] If you take a...

[00:21:12] You're fine.

[00:21:13] 10 foot.

[00:21:13] You're fine.

[00:21:14] Mm-hmm.

[00:21:17] Ah...

[00:21:17] Going to...

[00:21:19] Trow my trident.

[00:21:23] Is that still kind of as a movement?

[00:21:24] Is that kind of as an action?

[00:21:26] To long jump.

[00:21:27] Is it a movement?

[00:21:30] I think so.

[00:21:32] Because it's not standard movement.

[00:21:34] I mean...

[00:21:35] I think it is.

[00:21:36] When you take a long jump, you cover a number of feet up to your strength score.

[00:21:39] If you move, blah, blah, blah.

[00:21:41] Yeah, it's not an action.

[00:21:42] Okay. Fair enough.

[00:21:45] Um...

[00:21:45] Did you roll to hit?

[00:21:51] 22.

[00:21:52] That hits the toad bat.

[00:22:02] You can't roll damage tonight at all, can you?

[00:22:03] What's your total?

[00:22:06] Um...

[00:22:06] Six.

[00:22:09] Um...

[00:22:10] Cool.

[00:22:11] Giant toad.

[00:22:13] Oh, shit.

[00:22:14] Bullcog!

[00:22:18] Pulls out his Coke Zero.

[00:22:20] Oh my god!

[00:22:23] I pulled out my gun.

[00:22:28] Hey!

[00:22:29] Toad's pulling out a gun.

[00:22:31] Toad has a gun?

[00:22:32] Why don't you have a gun?

[00:22:34] Toadie's got a gun.

[00:22:35] I haven't been able to make one yet.

[00:22:37] Wow!

[00:22:40] What did it do?

[00:22:43] I get access to a foundry in level 3

[00:22:46] and I will make all kinds of wonderful things for everybody.

[00:22:48] Toadie's last I owe you!

[00:22:52] The attempts to bite the cat.

[00:22:56] No!

[00:22:57] He said the kitty's coming over.

[00:22:59] I put a bullet in a brain!

[00:23:02] Bow wow!

[00:23:05] It's a 15 hit?

[00:23:06] Nope.

[00:23:07] Okay.

[00:23:08] I think he only gets the one attack, right?

[00:23:10] Yeah.

[00:23:11] Fucking Neo in the Matrix dodges a bullet.

[00:23:15] Keeps heading for the cat.

[00:23:15] How do you try to attack me?

[00:23:17] Huh?

[00:23:18] How do you attack?

[00:23:19] A bite.

[00:23:20] It's a bite.

[00:23:21] I don't have no teeth.

[00:23:24] Wompf.

[00:23:24] Probably consumes.

[00:23:26] Gummum's death.

[00:23:27] I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm.

[00:23:28] Actually, yeah.

[00:23:29] I mean, it's a giant toe.

[00:23:30] It's not good if he gets stuck in his mouth.

[00:23:33] So that is, he just moved, he stepped, stepped one square forward.

[00:23:38] And attempted to bite you.

[00:23:40] Troy's a big fan of being gum to death.

[00:23:43] Then it goes to...

[00:23:44] Stuck in a furry cave.

[00:23:47] Gum to death in a furry cave.

[00:23:49] Slin!

[00:23:50] It's a me!

[00:23:51] I'm gonna smack that big ass toad.

[00:23:53] Toad.

[00:23:55] Whap.

[00:23:56] Whapaw!

[00:23:56] Slap it a toad.

[00:23:57] That is a 15.

[00:23:59] That should hit.

[00:24:00] It's a large creature, not hard to hit.

[00:24:03] That is eight damage.

[00:24:05] So it is.

[00:24:06] If I can find my pen.

[00:24:07] Still here where you left it.

[00:24:08] I want the pen, so I want the pen.

[00:24:10] There it is.

[00:24:11] I don't know my fucking thing.

[00:24:12] Sorry, you said eight?

[00:24:13] Yep.

[00:24:15] I'm gonna drop a key point.

[00:24:17] Flurry of blows.

[00:24:18] Okay.

[00:24:19] Whapaw!

[00:24:20] Blow them flurries.

[00:24:20] That is 13.

[00:24:22] To hit?

[00:24:23] Yes.

[00:24:25] You're actually writing down these key points, or you're just blowing them and just ignoring them?

[00:24:29] Ah, it doesn't matter.

[00:24:33] It does gotta matter.

[00:24:35] Five points.

[00:24:35] I got it.

[00:24:36] I got it.

[00:24:37] Five points of damage.

[00:24:39] I only spent two.

[00:24:41] No, I haven't spent any since we rested.

[00:24:43] Long rest.

[00:24:45] I think you spent one of the last fight.

[00:24:46] I think you spent one of the last fight.

[00:24:48] No, you didn't.

[00:24:48] No, I didn't, because I kept missing some second marks.

[00:24:50] You spent it on the were-wrap, and then rested.

[00:24:52] Yeah.

[00:24:53] Oh, okay.

[00:24:53] See?

[00:24:54] I got it.

[00:24:55] I just gave my heart.

[00:24:55] Remember, because I just sat here and nodded.

[00:24:57] 24.

[00:24:59] To hit?

[00:24:59] Yes.

[00:25:01] That is six damage.

[00:25:05] That's another key point.

[00:25:07] Ooh.

[00:25:09] I got a bunch of them just hanging out.

[00:25:13] Toadbat looks at the ghoul.

[00:25:18] I got my ghoul.

[00:25:20] I got my ghoul.

[00:25:21] I got my ghoul.

[00:25:24] I got my ghoul.

[00:25:24] That's the appropriate response.

[00:25:27] And he spits at you.

[00:25:31] Dodge.

[00:25:33] Dip.

[00:25:33] That's a natural 20.

[00:25:35] Uh, natural 20s don't hit on spit attacks.

[00:25:40] Cool.

[00:25:41] Cool.

[00:25:42] Cool.

[00:25:45] Cool.

[00:25:46] Two.

[00:25:51] Four.

[00:25:53] All the wands.

[00:25:54] Jesus Christ.

[00:25:56] Welcome to my world, bitch.

[00:25:58] Fuck me.

[00:25:58] You rolled 4d6.

[00:25:59] Did you even roll six?

[00:26:01] You didn't.

[00:26:02] Mm-mm.

[00:26:02] Nope.

[00:26:03] Nope.

[00:26:05] That's like an epic meme maneuver.

[00:26:08] It is, uh, it's five acid damage and you are blinded until the end of your next turn.

[00:26:17] Which starts back at the top of the order with Alex.

[00:26:21] Mm.

[00:26:22] Mm-mm.

[00:26:25] Yeah.

[00:26:28] Is that a poison?

[00:26:30] It's acid, not poison.

[00:26:34] So I am going to aim for Toad Bat with Fire Bolt.

[00:26:38] Does 18 hit?

[00:26:39] Sorry.

[00:26:39] It does.

[00:26:40] Okay.

[00:26:42] Okay.

[00:26:42] Okay.

[00:26:42] I'm immune to disease, but that's probably not a disease either.

[00:26:45] Nope.

[00:26:48] Nine fire damage.

[00:26:49] Okay.

[00:26:50] Fire!

[00:26:52] I wish I could stack those.

[00:26:57] Does mean I don't have to worry about the clap though.

[00:27:00] Uh...

[00:27:00] Cody, you are blinded.

[00:27:02] What would you like to do?

[00:27:03] You got the clap.

[00:27:04] You got the clap.

[00:27:04] I mean...

[00:27:04] Swing wildly.

[00:27:06] I could swing wildly.

[00:27:07] I don't know that I could technically attack.

[00:27:09] A disadvantage.

[00:27:09] It's just a disadvantage rule.

[00:27:10] I don't know that that's accurate, but I'll take an attack at disadvantage.

[00:27:14] Blinded, I believe it is.

[00:27:16] I don't think you're allowed to do anything with an ability check.

[00:27:20] Hmm.

[00:27:22] Pretty sure we've done this.

[00:27:23] I got an eight disadvantage.

[00:27:25] It misses anyway.

[00:27:30] I got a 17 at disadvantage.

[00:27:32] You hit it.

[00:27:36] Six points of damage.

[00:27:37] Cool.

[00:27:38] Bat bitch.

[00:27:38] Yeah, it's just disadvantage.

[00:27:39] That's what I thought.

[00:27:42] It's almost like I read the book before we played this game.

[00:27:45] Automatically failed ability checks.

[00:27:48] Is it attack and ability check?

[00:27:50] No, it's attack and it's attack.

[00:27:52] It'll be a skill check and ability check.

[00:27:56] Bonus was to hit the second time, correct?

[00:27:59] So then it goes to Troy.

[00:28:02] You're not blinded.

[00:28:04] But you can't roll damage, so.

[00:28:07] What?

[00:28:11] Is that thing technically in my range or?

[00:28:14] It's in your range.

[00:28:15] It's just hovering above you.

[00:28:16] And it looks horrible.

[00:28:18] No, no, no, not the little one.

[00:28:18] The big guy.

[00:28:20] Oh, no.

[00:28:21] Okay, then move me up five to get up close.

[00:28:25] Now he is.

[00:28:27] Now he is.

[00:28:28] Although that is leaving his threatened range so you will get an up attack against you.

[00:28:32] You could always throw your triton.

[00:28:38] It instantly comes back.

[00:28:39] Yeah, go for it.

[00:28:40] Cool.

[00:28:43] That's a miss.

[00:28:44] It's a two on the die.

[00:28:45] Acity spit goes wide.

[00:28:48] I want that acidy spit.

[00:28:52] Thank you for knowing.

[00:28:55] Fuck me.

[00:28:56] It's a shame what happened to him.

[00:28:59] Next.

[00:29:01] Or I meant to say I was doing.

[00:29:02] In fairness, what is your total?

[00:29:05] His AC is not super high.

[00:29:07] Is it double digits?

[00:29:09] It is double digits.

[00:29:09] Okay.

[00:29:10] Okay.

[00:29:13] Then that is a miss.

[00:29:15] Then it goes to the giant toad who will now attempt to bite the triton that just tried

[00:29:22] to hit him.

[00:29:24] I'm covering up the wrong page.

[00:29:26] Fuck.

[00:29:27] Three on the die.

[00:29:28] God damn it.

[00:29:29] I can't hit shit.

[00:29:31] All right.

[00:29:32] Um, Flynn.

[00:29:34] Oh, hit that toad.

[00:29:35] Toad's looking pretty bad.

[00:29:36] Toad Bat looks worse.

[00:29:38] Toad Bat looks worse.

[00:29:39] Toad's looking pretty bad.

[00:29:40] That is a nine.

[00:29:42] Miss.

[00:29:42] Bonus action hit attack.

[00:29:45] That's another nine.

[00:29:46] Two misses.

[00:29:47] Oh my God.

[00:29:48] I get into a sneezing fit.

[00:29:50] Yep.

[00:29:51] We're all distracted by the stention here.

[00:29:54] Sure.

[00:29:55] Smells like ass.

[00:29:55] Toad Bat.

[00:29:58] Toad Bat.

[00:29:59] Toad Bat will...

[00:30:01] Wait.

[00:30:04] Yeah, Flynn just went.

[00:30:05] Oh.

[00:30:06] Okay.

[00:30:07] Isn't Toad Bat the bottom of the order?

[00:30:09] Yeah.

[00:30:10] Toad Bat's at the bottom.

[00:30:11] And then he goes...

[00:30:12] Then it goes back to me.

[00:30:13] Are you first?

[00:30:14] Toad Bat had...

[00:30:15] Oh.

[00:30:15] Toad Bat did an op attack on you, not a full attack.

[00:30:17] What?

[00:30:18] Okay.

[00:30:18] Did you have an attack last time?

[00:30:20] Yeah, you hit the Toad Bat with a bunch of damage.

[00:30:22] I started it.

[00:30:22] Oh, you hit the Toad Bat.

[00:30:23] Okay.

[00:30:24] I switched targets.

[00:30:29] It's gonna move over one space and I'm going to spit acid at the dragon.

[00:30:34] Which may not make a difference.

[00:30:37] But he wouldn't know that.

[00:30:40] You're gonna hit the crab for massive damage?

[00:30:42] Not like that you are.

[00:30:43] That's an eight on the die.

[00:30:45] That is a miss.

[00:30:47] Um...

[00:30:47] Let's see if I hit it harder.

[00:30:48] It is your turn now.

[00:30:49] Yeah.

[00:30:50] Now it is my turn.

[00:30:53] It looks terrible.

[00:30:53] It looks terrible.

[00:30:54] Well, let's see if we can make it look worse.

[00:30:55] Give me a second.

[00:30:56] See if we can singe it to a...

[00:30:58] Firebolt again.

[00:31:00] Uh, sixteen.

[00:31:00] Yes.

[00:31:04] Oh, it is on its side.

[00:31:06] We roll it.

[00:31:07] Get over here.

[00:31:08] Right there.

[00:31:09] Seven.

[00:31:11] That's enough to drop the Toad Bat.

[00:31:13] Oh.

[00:31:13] Falls into the puddle down there.

[00:31:15] Goodbye acid.

[00:31:17] Sinks below the water.

[00:31:19] Great White comes up and eats it and descends back into the water.

[00:31:24] Um...

[00:31:24] Back there glares at everybody.

[00:31:26] Go ahead.

[00:31:26] You are no longer blinded.

[00:31:28] I turn around and step in front of Flynn.

[00:31:35] Unless you want to go around this way.

[00:31:36] It's...

[00:31:36] Well, no.

[00:31:37] I can't because I've heard it's difficult terrain.

[00:31:40] You can step through Flynn.

[00:31:42] Well, it looks like to me that there's a spot in front of Flynn.

[00:31:45] Like he's not touching the thing, but I don't know if he actually is.

[00:31:47] You can reach it from there.

[00:31:48] It's a corner.

[00:31:49] It's a...

[00:31:50] He's in this space.

[00:31:52] Attack the Toad!

[00:31:52] That's exactly where I was.

[00:31:53] We told him I wasn't in his range.

[00:31:56] Wow.

[00:31:57] No, you were over here.

[00:31:58] 17 to hit the Toad.

[00:32:01] Uh...

[00:32:02] 17 does hit the Toad.

[00:32:03] Wasn't I right next to you?

[00:32:04] 6 damage.

[00:32:07] 6?

[00:32:08] Yep.

[00:32:09] 17 to hit the Toad.

[00:32:11] Still hits.

[00:32:13] 5 damage.

[00:32:15] Um...

[00:32:15] And that is enough to drop it.

[00:32:18] Giant Toad slowly sinks below the water.

[00:32:21] Not before I rip off one of its legs.

[00:32:22] Yeah, you can get a frog leg.

[00:32:26] It's gonna be huge, man.

[00:32:28] Massive.

[00:32:30] Um...

[00:32:31] Hit the Toad for massive damage.

[00:32:33] Was it just a regular giant Toad?

[00:32:35] Huh.

[00:32:37] Yeah.

[00:32:38] The weird creature was the Toad Bat.

[00:32:40] Oh yeah.

[00:32:40] Interesting.

[00:32:41] Remotely resembled the Sothogwa sculptures you'd seen before.

[00:32:45] We killed a god.

[00:32:47] Nice.

[00:32:47] We win!

[00:32:50] Um...

[00:32:50] We should bag it.

[00:32:52] It fell into the water, apparently.

[00:32:56] I can swim.

[00:32:58] Bag it.

[00:32:58] We have a bag.

[00:32:59] Magic bag.

[00:33:01] Take it with you.

[00:33:02] As long as the cat's okay with it.

[00:33:03] You're the water person.

[00:33:04] I dip my hand into the water.

[00:33:09] Okay.

[00:33:10] It's really gross.

[00:33:11] I'm jumping in the water and grabbing the Toad Bat.

[00:33:20] Lucas didn't plan for that.

[00:33:22] No.

[00:33:23] Do we not get to keep Toad Bat?

[00:33:25] You get about five feet down and you just go head first into mud.

[00:33:31] And you are now sinking.

[00:33:34] And getting sucked into the mud.

[00:33:36] Uh oh.

[00:33:39] I don't believe you.

[00:33:41] You are restrained.

[00:33:44] If you cannot succeed, a strength saving throw to push yourself out.

[00:33:48] So his feet are just like sticking up.

[00:33:51] He's just slowly sinking in.

[00:33:53] I like the idea that he dove in.

[00:33:55] Head first and went like...

[00:33:57] It's like the deep end thing, right?

[00:33:59] Or the shallow end pool.

[00:34:00] That picture like do not dive and it shows the guy like horrifically breaking his neck.

[00:34:05] Yeah.

[00:34:05] I am blessing myself.

[00:34:07] Oh, bless me!

[00:34:11] My question is if we can see his legs, can't we just pull him out?

[00:34:15] Yeah, but let's see what happens first.

[00:34:16] He's gotta see what happens first.

[00:34:17] Let's see if he suffocates.

[00:34:18] That's a gnat one, sir.

[00:34:19] Oh.

[00:34:20] Um.

[00:34:21] Wait, wait, wait.

[00:34:21] Add the bless.

[00:34:22] It doesn't matter.

[00:34:23] Add the bless.

[00:34:24] It doesn't matter.

[00:34:25] Add the bless.

[00:34:26] You can roll with bless if you want.

[00:34:27] It doesn't matter.

[00:34:28] Do I see his legs wailing?

[00:34:32] I don't know that we've rolled, ever rolled this many crits in an episode.

[00:34:36] Like, it's been disgusting.

[00:34:39] The crit ones and the crit...

[00:34:40] I think I've rolled two.

[00:34:41] I think I've got a crit one and a crit 20.

[00:34:43] The fucker down there's got like five net 20s.

[00:34:44] The water in the walkway are considered environmental hazards for slippage and sinkage when you get

[00:34:48] into the water.

[00:34:49] Just mud.

[00:34:50] Below it.

[00:34:50] Below it.

[00:34:51] We just see his feet like swinging.

[00:34:54] We're like, guys, you think he's okay?

[00:34:56] Um.

[00:34:56] They start moving faster and faster and then they just...

[00:34:58] Oh, he's almost got it.

[00:34:59] And then they slack and just fall to the side.

[00:35:04] I throw a lasso around his leg.

[00:35:08] So how tall is your character?

[00:35:10] About five foot?

[00:35:11] Five and a half.

[00:35:12] Five and a half, yeah.

[00:35:12] Okay.

[00:35:13] So you're about a foot into this mud.

[00:35:17] Um.

[00:35:18] You guys can reach down and grab his feet if you like.

[00:35:20] Did you buy your $40 mini yet?

[00:35:22] Huh?

[00:35:22] Did you buy your $40 mini yet?

[00:35:23] You can reach down and grab his feet if you like and try to pull him out.

[00:35:27] I can't.

[00:35:31] This is Flynn going out of the cave and hiding behind the rock all over again.

[00:35:34] Utterly useless.

[00:35:35] I just have pause.

[00:35:36] Give me, um.

[00:35:37] I throw a lasso around his leg so I can be away from the edge.

[00:35:43] Give me a strength check.

[00:35:45] I can give you a strength check.

[00:35:52] Eleven.

[00:35:55] Could be better.

[00:35:55] God damn, dude.

[00:35:57] You managed to pull him back and, uh, you are still underwater but you're, uh, no longer stuck in the mud.

[00:36:07] DC was ten.

[00:36:09] Ha.

[00:36:09] Ha.

[00:36:11] Just like every high schooler ever.

[00:36:14] And if you can.

[00:36:14] Minimum requirements.

[00:36:15] If you fail, it goes up by one for each failure and he sinks a foot further deeper for each failure.

[00:36:20] Does that mean I don't see a bow krug?

[00:36:22] Uh, no.

[00:36:22] At this point, you're trying to scrape muck off of you and try to clear your gills so you can breathe again.

[00:36:27] Why'd it fall into the water anyway?

[00:36:29] He dove in.

[00:36:31] No, not him.

[00:36:32] The bow krug.

[00:36:33] Why is it in the water?

[00:36:34] It's not a bow.

[00:36:34] One, it's not a bow krug.

[00:36:37] Two, it's a-

[00:36:38] We don't know what it is so we're calling it a bow krug.

[00:36:40] Leave us alone.

[00:36:41] Where I had him hovering, he was above the water.

[00:36:43] So, he is almost on the edge.

[00:36:45] I could have grabbed him.

[00:36:46] What else do we have?

[00:36:47] We have bow krugs and snake perverts.

[00:36:49] Is that what we're going with?

[00:36:49] Yep.

[00:36:50] Um, so no, that thing, that thing is gone.

[00:36:52] It's probably in the muck as well.

[00:36:53] And-

[00:36:54] At least I saved my teammate.

[00:36:56] You can, now that he's no longer in the muck, you can pull him back out.

[00:36:59] Pretty easily.

[00:37:01] Uh, he is covered.

[00:37:01] Would you like assistance before I provide him?

[00:37:03] From head to shoulders, wherever, however deep, roughly a foot has been.

[00:37:08] He is covered in disgusting, thick, dark, black muck.

[00:37:12] We know where fresh water is.

[00:37:13] Where's something that was giant end up then if it's only five feet down?

[00:37:16] It's roughly a 10 by 10 by 10 toad.

[00:37:24] I'm reading the book, dude.

[00:37:25] I just, I would like explanations about science of your world.

[00:37:30] It's not my world.

[00:37:31] I didn't write it.

[00:37:32] Call Sandy Peterson.

[00:37:33] It's your world.

[00:37:35] The toad's immune to slinking.

[00:37:37] Well, it's a buoyant toad.

[00:37:40] I mean, I would have argued that, yeah, that the boat krug would have been buoyant.

[00:37:43] He wouldn't have sunk.

[00:37:44] That's true.

[00:37:45] Hmm.

[00:37:46] Hmm.

[00:37:47] Eh.

[00:37:48] So, you get to clean all the muck off you.

[00:37:51] Um, I don't think anybody even took damage.

[00:37:53] Well, you got blinded, but other than that, you took a little bit of acid damage.

[00:37:57] Other than that, you see a door to your southeast and to your southwest.

[00:38:10] Thank you all for listening.
