Only a few yards into the caverns and creatures are already dropping from the ceiling and Voormi are beginning to crawl out from the shadows. Not a good start for them, but the beginning of an interesting dungeon crawl for us!
Tune in for more exploring as 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
Troy as Cassius, a Triton Paladin
Alex as Magnus, a Dragonborn Artificer
[00:00:07] Bancors Brothel presents The Big Sleep, Mythos 5e Adventure.
[00:01:48] And Frozen.
[00:01:49] Uh, yeah.
[00:01:50] Anything on the Vormar?
[00:01:52] Nothing of importance, no.
[00:01:53] Let me see, I can tell you what weapons they're carrying, but it's trash based on what you're already carrying.
[00:02:00] Um, a couple of javelins maybe.
[00:02:04] Ooh.
[00:02:05] What's wrong with some javelins?
[00:02:08] A blowgun.
[00:02:09] Oh, hey!
[00:02:12] Who wants to blow a gun?
[00:02:15] I'll give you four javelins and one blowgun that you can split amongst yourselves.
[00:02:22] No thanks.
[00:02:24] My range just covered.
[00:02:26] My trash.
[00:02:28] You know the javelins?
[00:02:30] No, I've got three.
[00:02:31] Yep, four more.
[00:02:33] Uh, do they turn into lightning?
[00:02:35] I don't know.
[00:02:36] Okay.
[00:02:36] Is that a thing you do?
[00:02:38] No, since I bought javelins of lightning.
[00:02:41] Oh, right.
[00:02:42] That creature did have resistance to lightning, by the way.
[00:02:45] Hmm.
[00:02:46] It's unfortunate.
[00:02:47] Yeah.
[00:02:47] Wouldn't have known that, but...
[00:02:49] No, you wouldn't have.
[00:02:49] It only did half the damage you wanted it to.
[00:02:52] Still fun.
[00:02:53] Um, so yeah, that's uh, that's basically what's in this room.
[00:02:59] Cool.
[00:02:59] From this room, there's a hallway going south, basically.
[00:03:06] Yeah, there's a hallway going south.
[00:03:07] I actually accidentally gave you a room you would have had to have walked into, but that doesn't matter.
[00:03:11] It just goes into the meat locker.
[00:03:12] It's fine.
[00:03:14] But the room itself is still cold as fuck.
[00:03:17] So...
[00:03:18] Uh, other than the direction you just came from, which would be southeast, there is almost a south, almost a straight south, but south by southwest.
[00:03:28] Way down.
[00:03:30] We go south.
[00:03:31] Put them on ice.
[00:03:32] So thuh!
[00:03:35] Into room 10.
[00:03:37] An eight foot high ledge bisects this cavern.
[00:03:43] Dividing it into two levels, the center of the chamber...
[00:03:46] I'm sorry, in the center of the chamber, the ledge gives way to a deep chasm of an immeasurable depth.
[00:03:55] Two staircases are cut into the ledge on either side of the chasm, allowing passage between the two levels of the chamber.
[00:04:02] Um, there is...
[00:04:05] Man, I hate having to go back and forth with this map.
[00:04:08] Where's that at?
[00:04:10] Oh.
[00:04:11] Okay.
[00:04:13] Um...
[00:04:14] There's a tunnel heading kind of north, northeast.
[00:04:18] There's a tunnel heading almost directly east of the tunnel you just came from, which is more north.
[00:04:25] And a staircase that leads down to the southwest.
[00:04:31] If we poke our heads in the various directions, is it obvious which way they go or what they may lead to?
[00:04:37] What we hear, what we see?
[00:04:39] Um...
[00:04:40] I mean, it seems fairly quiet.
[00:04:45] So we have a giant room...
[00:04:48] That's two levels, but a big chasm in the middle.
[00:04:52] That would pertain to make you think that there are three levels, kind of.
[00:04:56] Well, but I'm...
[00:04:59] Well...
[00:05:01] It says it's split into an upper and a lower level.
[00:05:03] It's not...
[00:05:04] It's like a five-step difference.
[00:05:07] It's actually kind of weirdly written.
[00:05:10] So it's like...
[00:05:11] It's kind of one room that has, like...
[00:05:13] A slightly higher area than where you're standing.
[00:05:18] Directly in front of you almost looks like some sort of cage or prison pit.
[00:05:24] And if you go up a level, there's another one almost directly across from it.
[00:05:28] Both of which are locked.
[00:05:29] Is that before the giant chasm?
[00:05:33] This is...
[00:05:34] This is the main room.
[00:05:35] Yeah.
[00:05:35] Yeah.
[00:05:36] Yeah.
[00:05:38] When you walk into this room, yeah.
[00:05:40] I mean, I gave you all of the directions you could go, but it is a split-level space.
[00:05:45] So on the main level, to your right, is what looks like some sort of prison pit.
[00:05:51] If you go up to a level, which is actually on your left, there's like another prison pit basically directly across from it.
[00:05:58] It's just up a level, which is only like five steps.
[00:06:00] It's actually not that high.
[00:06:04] I'll look in the prison pit.
[00:06:07] It seems to be a lidded locked thing.
[00:06:13] Now I'm interested.
[00:06:16] So is it like a big metal sheet?
[00:06:18] Is it a cage?
[00:06:20] Is it...
[00:06:21] Is it like that pit from Batman?
[00:06:27] You gotta open the door.
[00:06:30] I ripped the door off.
[00:06:33] Give me a strength check.
[00:06:37] I'll start this plus four.
[00:06:38] That'd be a 19.
[00:06:40] Cool.
[00:06:41] Yeah, you ripped it open and you hear a shriek.
[00:06:47] Your wealth.
[00:06:48] As something bursts out into you.
[00:06:50] And you also hear...
[00:06:54] Into.
[00:06:56] Interesting use of that word.
[00:06:58] You also hear...
[00:07:00] You also hear...
[00:07:01] The shuffling of feet coming into this room from the east hallway.
[00:07:11] Um...
[00:07:12] And I guess we're gonna roll initiative again.
[00:07:15] I told you this...
[00:07:16] Guys, I found the plot.
[00:07:17] This is just a constant...
[00:07:18] Like every room is a fucking thing.
[00:07:21] So...
[00:07:21] It's a good thing you have your DPS here.
[00:07:25] Um...
[00:07:26] He didn't do much shit in the last fight.
[00:07:29] Not much last fight.
[00:07:31] Cody.
[00:07:32] 19.
[00:07:33] No, sorry.
[00:07:34] I lied.
[00:07:34] 17.
[00:07:35] Troy.
[00:07:37] 4.
[00:07:39] Uh, Flynn.
[00:07:40] 19.
[00:07:41] Alex.
[00:07:43] 22.
[00:07:45] 22.
[00:07:45] Ooh.
[00:07:45] Done, sir.
[00:07:47] Look at big man.
[00:07:49] Alex, you get to go first, sir.
[00:07:51] Um...
[00:07:51] What am I looking at?
[00:07:53] Although...
[00:07:53] Dwight Dwight...
[00:07:54] Yeah, I'll get one...
[00:07:55] I'll get one attack on you.
[00:07:58] Cody.
[00:07:59] It misses.
[00:08:00] You get one attack on me?
[00:08:01] Yeah.
[00:08:01] What are we talking about here?
[00:08:03] Because when you open it, it's more like a surprise attack against you.
[00:08:05] Because you opened it.
[00:08:06] But it doesn't matter.
[00:08:07] I rolled a single digit.
[00:08:08] I didn't miss it.
[00:08:09] It's because it's cheap shit.
[00:08:11] Alex, you may go first.
[00:08:13] You didn't tell me what it is.
[00:08:14] And then attack on the vault.
[00:08:14] I would like to know what I'm looking at.
[00:08:16] You said they were shuffling feet.
[00:08:17] Yeah.
[00:08:18] Something flying.
[00:08:18] You see two vormi holding lances.
[00:08:22] Lances.
[00:08:23] Um...
[00:08:23] And this creature that just popped out of the, uh...
[00:08:28] Pit, for lack of a better term, that he just opened.
[00:08:30] Man bat?
[00:08:31] Bass and Armstrong.
[00:08:33] Yeah, I mean, from what you can see, that's what it is.
[00:08:35] But it's, it's, it's more than what you are seeing from the picture that you're looking over my shoulder from.
[00:08:40] I'm not even trying to look at that picture.
[00:08:42] It's hard not to see that picture.
[00:08:44] Except for my brother-in-law, which makes no sense to anybody besides me.
[00:08:48] What?
[00:08:50] Nothing.
[00:08:51] You said that they were carrying two lances, and I waited for a pause, and I said Bass and Armstrong.
[00:09:01] Troy did, though.
[00:09:02] And the one listener who listens for my bad jokes.
[00:09:05] You know who you are out there.
[00:09:06] Comment on this show.
[00:09:07] It's Cody's bad jokes and my song references, and that's about it.
[00:09:15] Um...
[00:09:15] Hey, I got some testicular cancer and or doping controversy in my joke.
[00:09:19] Sure.
[00:09:22] Yeah, I, it's a really disc-, it's a creepy looking creature that...
[00:09:30] Perfect.
[00:09:30] Don't look fun.
[00:09:32] Does it fly?
[00:09:32] I'm gonna fucking throw myself into the cavern.
[00:09:37] I just opened up a pit, Flynn.
[00:09:39] You just wanna...
[00:09:40] The problem is you're gonna land on your feet.
[00:09:47] I don't know, I honestly didn't expect you guys to go this way.
[00:09:50] Um, I did, I expected you to go in the route.
[00:09:54] He had the whole dungeon ready to go.
[00:10:00] I'll show you the photo.
[00:10:02] That's all I ask.
[00:10:02] Like you could even just look it up.
[00:10:05] Well, it's like an eyeless troll.
[00:10:08] Yeah, eyeless troll.
[00:10:10] I mean, it's not, it's not that hard to describe.
[00:10:13] I mean...
[00:10:13] How big is it?
[00:10:14] Is it large?
[00:10:15] Oh no, it's medium.
[00:10:17] Not that, not that large of a troll.
[00:10:20] I mean, you could even say it looks like the thing from fucking Pan's Labyrinth with the eyeballs in its hands.
[00:10:25] Mitch McConnell.
[00:10:30] Not wholly unaccurate.
[00:10:31] Oh my gosh.
[00:10:35] Similarly, full of evil and has no soul.
[00:10:39] Mitch McConnell, not that creature.
[00:10:41] It might be fine.
[00:10:41] It might be.
[00:10:43] Yeah, it's misunderstood.
[00:10:47] What would you like to do?
[00:10:48] I would like to use my bonus action to plant a hunter's mark on the eyeless monstrosity that summon the other.
[00:10:54] How many times can you do that a day before a rest?
[00:10:58] As long as I have first level spells.
[00:11:01] I can keep doing that.
[00:11:03] That's a spell.
[00:11:04] That's my man, Mitch.
[00:11:06] And the fun part is, is as long as it keeps going, if the creature I targeted dies, I can automatically switch to the next thing without using spells.
[00:11:17] So, hooray.
[00:11:19] Terrible people that have been in control of the world in my lifetime.
[00:11:22] This vaguely humanoid creature is almost as big as a pony.
[00:11:26] It hops on long, hooved legs.
[00:11:28] Wait, what does?
[00:11:29] This creature.
[00:11:31] There were hooves in that picture?
[00:11:33] Yeah, you can't.
[00:11:34] They're kind of dark on the photo, but yeah.
[00:11:36] And long, clawed hands.
[00:11:40] Hmm.
[00:11:41] It leers with a hideous, noseless face.
[00:11:43] The reek of grave surrounds it.
[00:11:45] The reek of gravy.
[00:11:47] I wonder what it tastes like.
[00:11:48] We're gonna find out.
[00:11:51] Uh, I shoot at it.
[00:11:53] Shoot it in the face!
[00:11:56] That does not hit.
[00:11:58] Try again.
[00:12:02] Unnatural 20.
[00:12:03] That does hit.
[00:12:08] Don't shoot until you can see the whites of its...
[00:12:10] Thirteen...
[00:12:13] Plus...
[00:12:15] Two.
[00:12:17] He shot where its eyes could have been.
[00:12:20] Okay.
[00:12:21] Else?
[00:12:22] Not this turn.
[00:12:26] Duh...
[00:12:27] Flynn.
[00:12:28] I hit it!
[00:12:29] With my paw!
[00:12:31] What?
[00:12:32] The monster.
[00:12:34] There are three of them.
[00:12:35] Pick one.
[00:12:36] Yeah, because there are some vermice.
[00:12:37] Oh, well they were also uniquely described.
[00:12:40] Two of mine and this thing.
[00:12:41] I will...
[00:12:42] I'm fighting Mitch McConnell.
[00:12:43] Didn't you listen?
[00:12:44] There's a whole joke.
[00:12:45] Okay.
[00:12:45] Fighting Mitch McConnell.
[00:12:47] Yeah!
[00:12:48] That is a...
[00:12:49] A 17.
[00:12:51] Hits.
[00:12:51] Okay.
[00:12:54] I'm just gonna roll a bunch of dice first.
[00:12:58] Second attack.
[00:12:59] Makes him feel better.
[00:13:00] Makes him feel better.
[00:13:00] That is a 20.
[00:13:02] Hits.
[00:13:04] Hmm.
[00:13:05] Okay.
[00:13:05] Actually, I'm gonna roll.
[00:13:08] So...
[00:13:09] Jesus fucking Christ.
[00:13:11] First attack is seven damage.
[00:13:13] Uh-huh.
[00:13:14] Second attack...
[00:13:16] Is...
[00:13:17] Eleven damage.
[00:13:22] How's he looking?
[00:13:25] Lucas is doing math.
[00:13:26] I'm seeing right and I'm like...
[00:13:27] Still alive.
[00:13:27] Like four numbers.
[00:13:28] How alive?
[00:13:29] What do my attacks do?
[00:13:31] He doesn't look...
[00:13:31] Doesn't look great, but he's still alive.
[00:13:33] Okay.
[00:13:34] Last time he said that it only had 15 hit points, but who knows.
[00:13:38] I feel like 15 out of 171 would look a little bit worse off than not great, but...
[00:13:43] Uh, I'll just bonus action.
[00:13:46] He also did a lot of damage to it.
[00:13:49] Jesus Christ.
[00:13:50] That's not good.
[00:13:50] Ooh, I said 19.
[00:13:51] That's 26.
[00:13:55] Yeah.
[00:13:56] Uh, nine damage.
[00:13:57] If he says that kills it, I swear to God.
[00:14:04] Come over this table.
[00:14:06] Yep.
[00:14:07] It's pretty close though.
[00:14:08] He's really looking shitty.
[00:14:11] Really?
[00:14:12] Your scale makes no sense.
[00:14:14] He's not bad.
[00:14:16] Oh, he's dead.
[00:14:17] He got shot and clawed by a cat.
[00:14:19] I'm pretty sure most people would look pretty shitty at that point.
[00:14:22] Just mad as hell.
[00:14:24] Sorry.
[00:14:24] Uh, Cody.
[00:14:24] It's not my turn.
[00:14:27] You're staring at him like you said...
[00:14:29] I'm used to not you going, you not going first.
[00:14:31] I mean, I can go again.
[00:14:33] Go ahead, Tony.
[00:14:34] I don't mind.
[00:14:36] Sorry, you get over my coughing fit of you just staring at Alex for no apparent reason.
[00:14:40] Him just looking in shock.
[00:14:43] Um...
[00:14:43] What the fuck, uh...
[00:14:44] I don't know if I should be shocked or indignant at this point.
[00:14:47] I was going to do a thing, but what is this prison pit that it came out of?
[00:14:51] Is this just like a jack in the box type bullshit or what?
[00:14:55] Yeah, it's literally a pit with a lid on it that you opened up.
[00:14:57] Well, a pit of five feet, a pit of 40 feet, uh...
[00:15:01] So you're just hanging on the lid waiting for somebody to open it.
[00:15:03] I don't know that it describes how deep it is.
[00:15:05] It's probably...
[00:15:07] He is constantly just chanting, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
[00:15:13] D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d.
[00:15:17] It's about, uh...
[00:15:18] It's only about six feet deep.
[00:15:19] Oh, okay.
[00:15:21] Um...
[00:15:22] It's basically like a solitary confinement pit.
[00:15:25] Okay.
[00:15:26] Well, then I won't look up those rules because that would have been really funny, but it doesn't matter.
[00:15:29] It's only six feet deep, dude.
[00:15:31] I'm not shoving him back down.
[00:15:34] Hoping the fall would kill him.
[00:15:36] Um...
[00:15:36] Yeah, I'll punch him in the mouth since he's right there.
[00:15:38] Sure.
[00:15:39] He's right up in the face.
[00:15:41] Klo-Tak!
[00:15:47] 14.
[00:15:49] Misses.
[00:15:51] I'll swing at him again.
[00:15:54] That would be less than...
[00:15:55] Uh, there's a 13 hit.
[00:15:57] Prime number.
[00:15:58] Still misses.
[00:15:59] Close.
[00:16:00] Swing and a miss.
[00:16:01] I assume you did not say you raged, so I assume you don't rage.
[00:16:04] I'm not raged.
[00:16:05] Um...
[00:16:06] We almost killed him.
[00:16:07] These vormi are nuisances.
[00:16:09] Yeah.
[00:16:10] And I'm hoping they're gonna prong somebody else's butt, but they can come after me.
[00:16:12] Uh, one vormi rushes up to the other pit and opens it.
[00:16:18] And another one of these things...
[00:16:20] Uh, I didn't expect that.
[00:16:20] ...pops out.
[00:16:22] And stands next to him.
[00:16:24] Ah.
[00:16:25] I guess the vormi will rush towards...
[00:16:30] I don't know.
[00:16:32] I would say Lucas's description had led me astray here.
[00:16:37] Okay.
[00:16:38] Guess when I heard prison pit, I presumed captive, not caged monsters.
[00:16:43] Yeah.
[00:16:44] I mean, I suppose it's...
[00:16:45] It's called a prison pit in the book, that's what I can tell you.
[00:16:48] Well, no, you could describe to us your world, Dungeon Masters.
[00:16:51] That is your want, but...
[00:16:53] So less prison pit and more kennel.
[00:16:55] So, less prison pit and more kennel.
[00:16:56] Right, yes.
[00:16:56] Now, that is true, but they call it a prison pit.
[00:16:59] Well, they don't seem very happy that I freed him from me, from his prison, as most prisoners would be.
[00:17:06] Uh, the other vormi rushes up on Troy.
[00:17:08] Especially since his jailer just released it from his prison pit and now he's gonna try and shank our balls.
[00:17:13] Okay, good.
[00:17:14] Uh, single digi first attack will miss.
[00:17:17] Let's die out of here.
[00:17:22] Nope, that's a nat one on the next one, so both miss.
[00:17:25] He falls in the pit.
[00:17:27] Um, Troy.
[00:17:29] Don't go after the motherfucker I swung on me.
[00:17:31] Yep.
[00:17:34] Uh, 16?
[00:17:36] Still hits.
[00:17:38] Nice, 15 damage.
[00:17:41] Jesus Christ.
[00:17:44] If you could do 16 damage, you could one kill it.
[00:17:46] Well, you know, if this was a game of numbers...
[00:17:50] Hey, he's not looking so great.
[00:17:52] He looks like shit.
[00:17:53] He doesn't look shitty, but he looks okay.
[00:17:56] That's not gonna hit.
[00:17:58] You've bloodied him.
[00:17:59] 13.
[00:18:00] 13 will miss.
[00:18:02] No, sorry, his AC is 13.
[00:18:04] Oh.
[00:18:04] Well, it's a 13 hit.
[00:18:06] So, 13 does hit.
[00:18:07] Does more than three kill him?
[00:18:09] Yes.
[00:18:11] You literally needed one hit point.
[00:18:13] You stab him in.
[00:18:14] 10 points.
[00:18:16] Fine.
[00:18:17] Noted.
[00:18:17] Next time I will make up an extra point to kill those things.
[00:18:20] There is a new...
[00:18:21] Sheriff and Ted.
[00:18:22] One of these things and another Vormi standing next to each other and the upper portion of the split level.
[00:18:28] I'm gonna kill the one that's still marked first.
[00:18:32] Yup, yup.
[00:18:32] I think it's a good call.
[00:18:35] 17.
[00:18:35] Hits.
[00:18:37] 9.
[00:18:40] Plus...
[00:18:40] That one drops.
[00:18:42] Oh.
[00:18:43] Shot him right in the mouth.
[00:18:46] So, 15.
[00:18:47] Blow out his brains.
[00:18:48] Bonus action.
[00:18:50] I will shift the hunter's mark over to the other one of those things.
[00:18:55] Okay.
[00:18:56] That's a fair call.
[00:18:58] My second attack.
[00:19:03] 26.
[00:19:04] Yup.
[00:19:05] That's a pretty good shot.
[00:19:07] Right into its face.
[00:19:09] 11 plus...
[00:19:13] 1.
[00:19:14] 12.
[00:19:15] Okay.
[00:19:16] The bonus damage just wasn't there today.
[00:19:19] Yeah.
[00:19:19] It happens.
[00:19:21] Alright.
[00:19:22] The first Vormi and the first other thing are dead.
[00:19:28] So, there's the upper level where there is one he just hit and then the Vormi next to it that has not been hit.
[00:19:34] Okay.
[00:19:36] Um...
[00:19:39] I'm gonna roll up there and...
[00:19:42] Mitch is dead.
[00:19:43] It's just his brother bitch now.
[00:19:45] Attack the big bitch.
[00:19:46] Okay.
[00:19:46] The second McConnell.
[00:19:50] Ooh, that is a 15.
[00:19:53] Yes.
[00:19:55] I'm gonna roll a second attack.
[00:19:58] Oh, I rolled a 14.
[00:19:59] That is a nat 20.
[00:20:00] Nat 20!
[00:20:02] Alright.
[00:20:03] So, we'll go...
[00:20:06] Ooh, that's some good shit.
[00:20:11] So, there's 11...
[00:20:16] 14...
[00:20:16] Plus 12...
[00:20:18] So, 26 damage to bitch McConnell.
[00:20:21] It's dead.
[00:20:23] Alright.
[00:20:24] I turn to the Vormi.
[00:20:26] How's it looking?
[00:20:27] Has it been hit?
[00:20:28] It's not been touched.
[00:20:28] No, it's not been touched.
[00:20:29] Alright, I'm gonna drop a 16 hit points.
[00:20:31] No, it doesn't.
[00:20:32] It literally has 16 hit points if you can kill it in one shot.
[00:20:36] I don't think I can.
[00:20:38] I'm gonna drop the key.
[00:20:42] Alright, that is...
[00:20:43] That hits.
[00:20:44] How are you gonna walk your apartment?
[00:20:47] Uh...
[00:20:49] 18.
[00:20:50] Hits.
[00:20:51] Okay.
[00:20:54] That is...
[00:20:55] 8...
[00:20:57] Plus...
[00:20:58] 12...
[00:20:58] 20 damage!
[00:21:01] Yep.
[00:21:02] To shreds!
[00:21:03] Everything's dead.
[00:21:04] Ribbons!
[00:21:05] He talked about upper levels and stuff, and we didn't really narratively do anything.
[00:21:09] So, I like the idea that, like, this...
[00:21:11] This cage was opened, and this thing springs up and goes, rah!
[00:21:15] He shoots it in the face.
[00:21:17] It staggers.
[00:21:18] You do that cat thing where, like...
[00:21:19] You know how when cats run up a vertical level, but they, like, press off of it and twist their body in the air?
[00:21:25] Oh, yeah.
[00:21:26] You, like, run up the side of this cavern, press off, just slip this thing's fucking throat like nobody's business, and then, like, pounce Wolverine-style on top of the Vormai and murder it as well.
[00:21:37] Oh, yeah.
[00:21:37] They're just, like...
[00:21:38] Like, you're just covered in fucking blood and gore now.
[00:21:40] Like, you're just...
[00:21:41] You're more gore than cat.
[00:21:43] Yeah.
[00:21:43] Somebody get the hose.
[00:21:45] So, from the upper level, there is a...
[00:21:49] Again, there is a northeast passage.
[00:21:52] From the lower level, there's a very east passage or a southwest down-the-stairs passage.
[00:21:58] But where did...
[00:21:59] Where did Lance and Lance come from?
[00:22:01] Direct east.
[00:22:03] I feel like figuring out where Lance and Lance come from is...
[00:22:06] Hold on.
[00:22:06] I'm gonna pick up one of the Mitch McConnells and toss him down the chasm.
[00:22:12] Does anything happen?
[00:22:13] Okay.
[00:22:15] You don't even hear a thump.
[00:22:18] Okay.
[00:22:19] Good call.
[00:22:20] Salad?
[00:22:26] Let's feather fall and jump in.
[00:22:29] I think that's the fastest way down the mountain.
[00:22:31] No, it lasts for how long?
[00:22:33] 600 feet.
[00:22:35] You don't even hear a thump.
[00:22:38] What if we all jumped and fell for a while, then you cast it mid-air?
[00:22:44] I'd be more worried about getting back up again.
[00:22:48] Nah.
[00:22:48] I don't think that's gonna happen, bud.
[00:22:51] I always like doing that in games.
[00:22:52] Like taking something that was highly reflective or on fire and lighting a torch and just dropping it.
[00:22:58] Yeah.
[00:22:59] And then be like, you don't see the torch anymore.
[00:23:01] I'm like, this human eye could see quite a long way in absolute dark, so it's real fucking far.
[00:23:07] We can do that.
[00:23:08] Three miles.
[00:23:09] I've got Firebolt.
[00:23:10] Just fire a Firebolt straight down.
[00:23:13] Strike a torch and drop it and see how long you can see the flame.
[00:23:17] Where would you like to go?
[00:23:19] Where would you like to go?
[00:23:20] Like I said, I think I want to see where Tweedledee and Tweedledum came from and see if they're
[00:23:23] in the car.
[00:23:23] Direct east.
[00:23:25] Alright, direct east.
[00:23:26] See if there's a barracks, if there's a treasure.
[00:23:32] Loot.
[00:23:34] I don't know where I was going with that.
[00:23:36] Treasury is really where I should have gone.
[00:23:38] Yeah.
[00:23:40] A treasurer.
[00:23:41] Treasure stash.
[00:23:43] Treasure cache.
[00:23:45] Treasure pot.
[00:23:47] When you enter this room, you see what appears to be a great hall.
[00:23:53] Not so great hall.
[00:23:54] A dining chamber, if you will.
[00:23:57] So, immediately you see two Vormai begin to run.
[00:24:03] Which direction is that?
[00:24:08] You've got to shoot them before they signal Gondor for aid.
[00:24:14] The beacons are lit!
[00:24:16] Oh, never mind.
[00:24:17] Those are the two that came after me.
[00:24:20] See, I was about to shoot.
[00:24:21] Area 10.
[00:24:21] I'm like, wait, weren't we just in Area 10?
[00:24:23] Yeah, we fucking were.
[00:24:24] Those are dead.
[00:24:26] If not, they're about to be again.
[00:24:30] In that case, four Vormai and one Vormai warrior stand up and you may roll initiative again.
[00:24:38] How did the numbers of Vormai, like, triple?
[00:24:42] You killed these two.
[00:24:44] I mean, there's six.
[00:24:46] Alright, Cody.
[00:24:49] 17.
[00:24:51] Troy.
[00:24:52] 22.
[00:24:54] 22.
[00:24:54] Ian?
[00:24:54] 15.
[00:24:56] Alex?
[00:24:57] 16.
[00:24:58] You said 22, Troy?
[00:24:59] Uh-huh.
[00:25:00] You get to start, Troy.
[00:25:03] You have four Vormai and one Vormai warrior.
[00:25:10] Five creatures in this room.
[00:25:12] I'm going after the warrior.
[00:25:15] Cool.
[00:25:18] I don't know, maybe I should have drawn this out.
[00:25:20] They are kind of close together, so you're in kind of a group of individuals.
[00:25:23] Okay.
[00:25:25] Just so you're aware, you kind of surround it.
[00:25:27] Still one of the same guy.
[00:25:28] Does a 16 hit?
[00:25:31] The warrior, yes.
[00:25:32] Yeah, I'm going to bonus action.
[00:25:35] Boom!
[00:25:36] Got him again.
[00:25:37] Fuck.
[00:25:38] You're a quick one.
[00:25:39] What do you feel?
[00:25:40] You're a quick one.
[00:25:42] There's a human being in that dumpster.
[00:25:46] Thunder smite, so I'm going to do...
[00:25:50] Fuck.
[00:25:51] Bullshit.
[00:25:53] Um...
[00:25:53] Is that a spell slot every time?
[00:25:54] Yeah.
[00:25:56] Who's slashed you?
[00:25:57] I have seven.
[00:25:59] Okay.
[00:25:59] Who the fuck's asking?
[00:26:01] Me.
[00:26:02] Oh, I guess that's fair.
[00:26:05] You probably would want to know that.
[00:26:07] Four fights and four smites.
[00:26:08] Just asking.
[00:26:09] Seven...
[00:26:10] Seven slashes.
[00:26:14] And another four thunder.
[00:26:19] What's your total damage?
[00:26:22] Whatever that was.
[00:26:24] Eleven.
[00:26:26] And I need a strength saving throw.
[00:26:30] Thirty-six spread across four enemies.
[00:26:37] Yeah.
[00:26:38] Yeah.
[00:26:39] It's a ten.
[00:26:40] He's pushed back ten feet and is prone.
[00:26:43] Alright, then I guess he's prone.
[00:26:44] Prone to...
[00:26:46] Falling.
[00:26:47] Nice.
[00:26:48] Got it.
[00:26:48] He is prone.
[00:26:49] Fucking gravity.
[00:26:51] That should still hit, yeah.
[00:26:52] If he's prone, you have advantage.
[00:26:54] Oh, well then...
[00:26:55] Because it's melee.
[00:26:56] If he's standing over top of him, he would have to move to do that.
[00:26:58] He would have to move up on him, but yes.
[00:27:00] Yeah.
[00:27:00] Actually, in order to do that, you would probably get a knob attack from one of these other Vormai, in fairness.
[00:27:04] Well, you didn't draw it, so...
[00:27:06] I know, but that's what would happen.
[00:27:09] For another...
[00:27:11] Six damage.
[00:27:12] They missed.
[00:27:13] Huh?
[00:27:14] They missed.
[00:27:15] Six damage?
[00:27:16] Yeah.
[00:27:17] I rolled a wand on that Op attack.
[00:27:19] You're fine.
[00:27:22] Cool.
[00:27:24] Cody.
[00:27:24] There's a prone creature beyond four other creatures.
[00:27:28] It's not a very large area.
[00:27:30] I'm going to leap in right with the four creatures.
[00:27:34] That's fair.
[00:27:35] I will take...
[00:27:37] Troy likes to split the middle so there's two on each side, or...
[00:27:40] We can call that.
[00:27:41] Sure.
[00:27:42] I'm going to head to the left-most one.
[00:27:44] All right.
[00:27:46] Bear my teeth and rip and tear his chest out.
[00:27:52] Yep.
[00:27:53] These are not hard to kill.
[00:27:54] That's not a great roll.
[00:27:56] I'm about a 13 doesn't hit.
[00:27:57] 13 is AC.
[00:27:59] Oh, it does hit?
[00:28:00] Nice.
[00:28:00] I didn't realize that.
[00:28:01] Yeah, the...
[00:28:02] Standard Vormi.
[00:28:03] The regular dudes have...
[00:28:04] Five damage.
[00:28:05] He's all right.
[00:28:06] I will go after him with Matif.
[00:28:10] If you can do 11 more damage.
[00:28:12] 16 to hit.
[00:28:14] Hits.
[00:28:15] I did four more damage.
[00:28:18] Nine of those.
[00:28:20] Still up.
[00:28:20] He's set up.
[00:28:21] Somebody knock him down.
[00:28:24] Alex.
[00:28:27] How close are all these guys again?
[00:28:30] It's basically two to your left, two to your right, and one from where you're at, roughly
[00:28:35] 20 feet on the ground.
[00:28:37] So would you say they're all within 15 feet of each other?
[00:28:40] Couldn't possibly be.
[00:28:41] No.
[00:28:42] Because at least if they were five by five, then it would be 20 from one to the other.
[00:28:47] So they occupy a minimum five foot square.
[00:28:50] There are at least two next to each other over here and two next to each other over here.
[00:28:55] And that's the best you got.
[00:28:57] Whoa.
[00:28:58] Ah.
[00:29:00] That'll work.
[00:29:00] Will it?
[00:29:02] I move up on one of the groups of two.
[00:29:05] Left or right?
[00:29:06] Whichever one Cody's not on.
[00:29:08] Two to right.
[00:29:10] So number three and number four.
[00:29:12] And I use my fire breath on them.
[00:29:14] Cool.
[00:29:15] Nice.
[00:29:16] Is that a dex save for me for both of those?
[00:29:17] Burn and eight.
[00:29:20] It is for half damage.
[00:29:23] If you.
[00:29:24] Number three.
[00:29:26] Number four.
[00:29:28] Four didn't roll well, but number three didn't roll bad.
[00:29:32] It was a 14 on one and a single digit on the other.
[00:29:36] So does a 14 save?
[00:29:45] That does save.
[00:29:46] Okay.
[00:29:46] So half on number three and full on number four.
[00:29:49] Roll that damage.
[00:29:53] Burn them.
[00:29:56] And nine fire on both.
[00:29:59] Nine?
[00:30:01] Nine and four.
[00:30:02] Nine and four.
[00:30:03] Yeah.
[00:30:03] Because it halves on one and full on the other.
[00:30:05] It's still a.
[00:30:06] It's not bad.
[00:30:07] I mean, that's half of one's damage.
[00:30:09] So half of one's hit points.
[00:30:14] Yeah.
[00:30:14] Because.
[00:30:15] So you moved action bonus action of any kind.
[00:30:18] Let's see if Bell can actually hit something today.
[00:30:21] Sure.
[00:30:23] Number three and number four.
[00:30:24] Uh, whichever one's more damaged.
[00:30:27] That would mean number four.
[00:30:28] Yeah.
[00:30:29] It had nine.
[00:30:30] Mm-hmm.
[00:30:32] That doesn't look like a high number.
[00:30:35] Only 13 though.
[00:30:37] Yeah.
[00:30:37] But that was a single digit roll.
[00:30:39] No.
[00:30:39] It has a plus 14.
[00:30:42] Solid.
[00:30:42] Solid.
[00:30:43] Sure it does.
[00:30:45] What is this thing even?
[00:30:46] I don't remember what even more one of this.
[00:30:48] Nah, that misses.
[00:30:50] Okay.
[00:30:52] Uh,
[00:30:55] Flihan.
[00:30:56] Hey.
[00:30:57] All right.
[00:30:58] I'm going to go to the first one.
[00:30:59] Is that Kraken treating you bud?
[00:31:00] Huh?
[00:31:00] You getting sleepy over there?
[00:31:02] I'm so sleepy.
[00:31:03] Oh, I hope you can drive up man.
[00:31:05] I hope you can drive up man.
[00:31:06] Hold on me with it's tentacles.
[00:31:08] That's what it does.
[00:31:10] I'm going to go to the, the one that's prone.
[00:31:12] Uh, okay.
[00:31:14] I'm going to attack him.
[00:31:15] Okay.
[00:31:15] Okay.
[00:31:16] Do I get advantage I assume?
[00:31:17] He is prone, so yes.
[00:31:19] All right.
[00:31:20] That's a 13 and a 26.
[00:31:25] 26 will hit.
[00:31:27] 13 hits too.
[00:31:28] Warrior's a little heftier.
[00:31:30] Eight damage.
[00:31:31] Okay.
[00:31:34] Does that kill him?
[00:31:37] Uh, no.
[00:31:38] About nine damage.
[00:31:41] No.
[00:31:41] I meant 10 damage.
[00:31:44] Uh, I do like this game.
[00:31:46] 24 so far is the total.
[00:31:48] Okay.
[00:31:49] I'll hit him again.
[00:31:50] He's a little, a little beefier.
[00:31:53] He is quite beefy.
[00:31:54] 24.
[00:31:55] Does hit.
[00:31:57] I thought you were telling me how many points I hit.
[00:31:58] 11.
[00:32:00] Uh, still alive.
[00:32:02] Bonus action.
[00:32:05] Uh, 24.
[00:32:08] Still hits.
[00:32:11] 10 damage.
[00:32:12] He's looking a lot less alive, but he's still standing.
[00:32:14] Well, he's not standing technically, but it's not literally standing, but it's still
[00:32:19] breathing, but much less so.
[00:32:24] That all you?
[00:32:25] Yep.
[00:32:26] All right.
[00:32:27] Well, I got vormite to hit with.
[00:32:28] Um, two of them against the ghoul.
[00:32:35] Cowards.
[00:32:36] Um, you're not raging, right?
[00:32:38] So.
[00:32:38] Nope.
[00:32:39] You actually have to make the roll.
[00:32:41] I know it.
[00:32:42] All right.
[00:32:43] So there are two of them on you.
[00:32:45] One that's been hit.
[00:32:46] One that's not been hit.
[00:32:47] So the number one.
[00:32:50] Nope.
[00:32:52] What is this?
[00:32:53] Plus two.
[00:32:54] It's a multi attack.
[00:32:55] So that is.
[00:32:59] Um, 17.
[00:33:02] Yes.
[00:33:02] 17 hits.
[00:33:03] So the claw hits for one D six plus numbers.
[00:33:08] Shit.
[00:33:09] Hit roll.
[00:33:10] It's only four slashing.
[00:33:13] And then his second attack is.
[00:33:19] Is it two claw?
[00:33:20] Yeah.
[00:33:21] Two claw attack.
[00:33:22] Claw, claw.
[00:33:23] That's an 18 on the die.
[00:33:23] So that hits.
[00:33:25] That is six slashing.
[00:33:30] The one that's not been hit.
[00:33:33] Rolls another 17 to hit.
[00:33:36] Oh, Jesus.
[00:33:37] It's only three slashing on the first hit.
[00:33:41] And then the second hit is five more slashing.
[00:33:47] They're just claw, claw, claw, claw, claw, claw, claw, claw, claw.
[00:33:50] Did you even roll for the second hit?
[00:33:52] Yeah.
[00:33:52] I got a 17 on the die.
[00:33:53] So I think you missed a roll in there, but that's fine.
[00:33:57] I rolled four times.
[00:33:58] There are four attacks.
[00:33:59] Okay.
[00:33:59] I see so.
[00:34:00] Yes.
[00:34:01] I heard three numbers.
[00:34:03] That's because I didn't bother saying the fourth, the fourth one was a 17 on the die.
[00:34:07] It hit.
[00:34:10] Vormi warrior.
[00:34:12] Oh, sorry.
[00:34:12] No, I have two more Vormi.
[00:34:14] Pardon me.
[00:34:15] Who are on you, Alex.
[00:34:19] Same situation.
[00:34:21] Number three will attack twice.
[00:34:25] That is an 18 to hit.
[00:34:28] You match.
[00:34:30] That is five slashing.
[00:34:32] Second attack is a 19 on the die.
[00:34:36] Therefore it hits for another six slashing.
[00:34:41] Okay.
[00:34:42] Okay.
[00:34:43] And then the one that you hit a little harder, number four, that one misses.
[00:34:52] And that is a 19 to hit.
[00:34:55] So that hits right for another four slashing.
[00:35:01] Vormi warrior will stand up.
[00:35:03] He will attack the cat.
[00:35:06] He will attack the cat.
[00:35:06] And he is carrying a great ax.
[00:35:09] Uh oh.
[00:35:15] Modified 20 to hit.
[00:35:17] Yep.
[00:35:19] Slice in out that cat.
[00:35:21] I'll do her.
[00:35:22] That is max damage to 15 slashing.
[00:35:25] Okay.
[00:35:26] Second attack is a 17.
[00:35:31] Nope.
[00:35:32] All right.
[00:35:32] Second attack does miss.
[00:35:34] Okay.
[00:35:36] Um, you're not a humanoid.
[00:35:38] So nevermind.
[00:35:39] Go forward.
[00:35:39] We are back at the top of the, uh, yeah.
[00:35:43] Sorry.
[00:35:43] That's rude.
[00:35:44] Troy suck my human size balls.
[00:35:47] Nat 20.
[00:35:48] Nope.
[00:35:48] Doesn't matter.
[00:35:49] Maybe.
[00:35:50] Can't nat these guys.
[00:35:52] Bullshit.
[00:35:54] You probably kill him anyhow.
[00:35:57] Uh, 13 plus, uh, 19.
[00:36:04] He did.
[00:36:06] Else?
[00:36:09] Anybody else still alive?
[00:36:11] There are still four Vormi standing.
[00:36:13] You guys haven't killed these guys yet?
[00:36:15] Jesus Christ.
[00:36:15] One of them has not been hit at all.
[00:36:18] Which is next to Cody.
[00:36:19] Which one is one of the other ones?
[00:36:24] Pick one.
[00:36:25] One, three or four.
[00:36:26] One.
[00:36:27] Okay.
[00:36:28] I rolled the wrong dice.
[00:36:30] Just the first one he hit.
[00:36:32] Uh, 20 something to hit.
[00:36:34] Uh, for 12 damage.
[00:36:41] Drops.
[00:36:44] That's me.
[00:36:46] That's you, Cody.
[00:36:48] He dropped the one you already hit.
[00:36:49] You had the one next to you that's not been hit yet.
[00:36:51] Yep.
[00:36:53] I will go after that one.
[00:36:58] Uh, that is a much better roll.
[00:37:00] It's a 27.
[00:37:01] Does hit.
[00:37:03] For seven damage.
[00:37:05] Standing.
[00:37:06] I will take my second attack with my bite.
[00:37:09] That's a nat 20.
[00:37:11] Definitely hits.
[00:37:12] That is a savage attack.
[00:37:14] So that's 3D8.
[00:37:18] That's another 11 damage.
[00:37:21] And I tear his throat out with my teeth.
[00:37:24] Definitely do.
[00:37:25] There's a couple down for you, Troy.
[00:37:26] Yep.
[00:37:28] Alex, you got two people or two, sorry, two vormi in front of you.
[00:37:32] One slightly more burned than the other.
[00:37:37] Firebolt.
[00:37:40] Firebolt.
[00:37:42] Which one?
[00:37:43] Uh, the crispy one.
[00:37:46] Okay.
[00:37:46] Number four.
[00:37:49] That does not look like a high number.
[00:37:52] I'm not thinking 11 hits.
[00:37:54] Sadly, no.
[00:37:55] Hit it again.
[00:37:57] 14.
[00:37:58] Uh, I don't think you can shoot firebolt twice.
[00:38:02] I'm doing the attack action, aren't I?
[00:38:04] I believe that's for melee or ranged.
[00:38:07] I don't think you can cast, you can't cast a double spell.
[00:38:09] You're either shooting the spell or you're attacking twice with melee.
[00:38:13] Or ranged.
[00:38:14] You're the DM, I'm just gonna tell you what it tells me.
[00:38:17] In the book first.
[00:38:19] I don't believe you can fire two spells back to back.
[00:38:23] It says extra attack.
[00:38:27] You can attack twice rather than once whenever you take the attack action on your turn.
[00:38:33] That is all it says.
[00:38:36] So I will listen to whatever you guys say.
[00:38:39] I'm just saying what it told you is why I did it.
[00:38:42] You can't throw two leveled spells.
[00:38:44] It's a cantrip.
[00:38:45] It doesn't matter if it's a cantrip, you can't shoot two of them at the same time.
[00:38:50] Back to back.
[00:38:52] I think the issue is extra attack.
[00:38:54] Cause it's, it's a different action.
[00:38:57] Attacking is attacking with a weapon.
[00:38:58] I think casting a spell is a separate action.
[00:39:07] The thing about firebolt is firebolt is meant to, to, to, to attack.
[00:39:11] So it is a ranged spell attack.
[00:39:14] Oh, that's true.
[00:39:15] Yeah.
[00:39:15] You should fight.
[00:39:16] You're still, you're still, but it's a cantrip.
[00:39:18] I believe multi-attack is a range.
[00:39:21] I always find the most odd gray areas.
[00:39:23] Don't I mean, I know.
[00:39:25] I think if it's a cantrip, I think you're good.
[00:39:28] Yeah.
[00:39:29] No, he's casting a cantrip is a ranged spell attack.
[00:39:32] I mean, Flynn's not necessarily wrong.
[00:39:34] I was thinking it was a level spell.
[00:39:36] It's just a cantrip.
[00:39:37] Yeah.
[00:39:39] If you want it to be just single, that's entirely your DMing.
[00:39:44] So.
[00:39:46] I love how Alex has the most backhanded and unbelievably like, not like, damn.
[00:39:54] I love it.
[00:39:58] You should see me whenever I, when I was doing customer service when I was younger.
[00:40:02] He doesn't cut a lot, but he cuts deep.
[00:40:04] Casting a spell and multi-attack are two distinct actions.
[00:40:07] But it's not multi-attack.
[00:40:09] It's extra attack.
[00:40:10] Extra attack.
[00:40:11] And it's also not a spell.
[00:40:13] It's a cantrip.
[00:40:14] What's the difference between extra attack and multi-attack?
[00:40:16] Multi-attack is multi-attacks as part of a single action.
[00:40:20] Extra attack is.
[00:40:21] He's taking an additional, an additional action.
[00:40:24] He has two actions.
[00:40:27] Plus my bonus.
[00:40:29] Right.
[00:40:29] But to Flynn's point, I would, I don't know if an extra attack cause casting a spell is an action.
[00:40:35] Yeah.
[00:40:36] Is it an attack?
[00:40:37] Casting a spell is not an attack action.
[00:40:40] Yeah.
[00:40:40] Which is required for extra attack.
[00:40:42] I'm pretty sure Flynn's got it on the phone.
[00:40:43] No worries.
[00:40:44] So you can only cast it once, my friend.
[00:40:47] So then you missed on the first one, right?
[00:40:50] That is.
[00:40:50] I mean, you're right.
[00:40:51] That was a definition of action in 5e and which one does it?
[00:40:54] Yeah.
[00:40:55] They have a list.
[00:40:57] I'm not overly concerned.
[00:40:58] You do have bonuses if you can, if you have a bonus action you can take instead of that secondary attack.
[00:41:09] Any bonuses?
[00:41:10] Eh, just gonna try for Bell again.
[00:41:13] I have faith in them.
[00:41:14] Oh, yeah.
[00:41:14] Go ahead.
[00:41:14] I have faith in them.
[00:41:16] It's better.
[00:41:17] Also 13.
[00:41:18] 13 does hit.
[00:41:20] Oh.
[00:41:20] Yeah.
[00:41:21] You see 13 on these guys.
[00:41:22] Are you hitting the same one that you already burnt to a crisp?
[00:41:26] Why wouldn't I?
[00:41:27] Just asking.
[00:41:28] Can you roll 7 more damage?
[00:41:31] We're gonna find out.
[00:41:33] Nope.
[00:41:33] That would be 6 more damage.
[00:41:36] So close.
[00:41:38] So close.
[00:41:40] It's literally hanging on by a limb.
[00:41:45] I don't think that thing does.
[00:41:47] Yeah, he doesn't have bonuses.
[00:41:50] Flynn.
[00:41:51] What happened?
[00:41:52] There is one almost dead Vormi and one not terribly horribly burnt Vormi.
[00:42:01] I'll go to the one who is still robust.
[00:42:04] Okay.
[00:42:06] Attack!
[00:42:08] Does a 28 hit?
[00:42:10] It does.
[00:42:11] Okay.
[00:42:12] You know goddamn good anyway.
[00:42:15] 7 damage.
[00:42:18] Still standing.
[00:42:19] Well, Mulgain does a 24 hit.
[00:42:24] Nope.
[00:42:25] Well, I'm rolling anyway.
[00:42:27] That is 12 damage.
[00:42:31] He dead.
[00:42:31] That one dies.
[00:42:32] Okay, go to the other one.
[00:42:34] He's got one hit point left.
[00:42:35] Just fucking hit.
[00:42:36] Come on, baby.
[00:42:38] 14?
[00:42:39] Yes.
[00:42:41] 8 damage.
[00:42:44] You have cleared the room of Vormi.
[00:42:47] What were they having to eat?
[00:42:50] Let's see.
[00:42:51] What were they having to eat in here?
[00:42:53] Why do you care?
[00:42:54] You're having Vormi.
[00:42:56] Yeah, I mean, you can eat them if you want.
[00:42:59] Danny Moore.
[00:43:02] Have they even popped the top yet or is it still just warm in that little plasticky container?
[00:43:07] Looks like haunches of roasted meat.
[00:43:11] I don't even care what kind of meat.
[00:43:13] Love a good haunch.
[00:43:14] Some of them were actually also crafting by weaving and carving.
[00:43:18] Oh, they were craftsmen.
[00:43:21] And there are many exits off of this chamber, which we will go over next time.
[00:43:26] Did we just kill like arts and crafts for the kids day?
[00:43:30] Yeah, we did.
[00:43:30] Oh yeah.
[00:43:39] Thank you all for listening.
