[00:00:07] The Big Sleep, The Rancors Brothel Presents The Big Sleep, The Mythos 5e Adventure

[00:01:57] your northwest corner, it's also a stairway that's almost like directly north-north.

[00:02:03] There's a double door directly across from you which would be directly east and there's another door south, a single door.

[00:02:12] They're both closed.

[00:02:13] So we got two staircases, a double door and a single door.

[00:02:16] Yeah, and then the tunnel behind you that you came through.

[00:02:19] Single door.

[00:02:21] Good enough.

[00:02:23] I was going to suggest, I don't know if anyone else has issues, but I have HP issues.

[00:02:28] Not bad yet, but it will be an HP issue soon.

[00:02:31] I'm under half.

[00:02:33] I am not yet under half, but not far off.

[00:02:38] Where was I sitting again?

[00:02:40] Let me double check.

[00:02:44] I'm not too damaged at the moment.

[00:02:46] Are you gonna take a short rest?

[00:02:48] I don't know about taking a short rest in a room with six doors, but maybe if we want to backtrack.

[00:02:57] Where do you want to get to go?

[00:03:00] Uh, the last room only had one door and one entrance and one exit, didn't it?

[00:03:05] The prison area?

[00:03:11] No.

[00:03:12] I mean, they were all there.

[00:03:14] There's a, there was a stairway up to a door on the south of that room and then two stairways that went to the north.

[00:03:23] Um.

[00:03:23] But you guys kind of went up there.

[00:03:25] It was a little bit of a platform.

[00:03:26] A kingdom for a map, Lucas.

[00:03:28] So.

[00:03:33] We can always check, one of us, if they have a high enough stealth, could check the single door and see what's in it.

[00:03:39] Maybe that could be a good rest area.

[00:03:40] Fine.

[00:03:41] Troy will do it.

[00:03:43] Clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank.

[00:03:44] Call the Troy's stealth.

[00:03:46] Oh, I got it.

[00:03:52] Plus two to my stealth.

[00:03:53] I got automatic advantage online.

[00:03:56] Saw a meme the other day that was like, it's a stealthy mission and someone, it said paladin colon and someone in armor was dancing on TikTok and I'm like, yep, yep.

[00:04:06] Always, always ruining your stealth missions.

[00:04:10] I have myth roll so I don't have any negative bonuses to my stealth, sir.

[00:04:17] Doesn't mean that your roll is good.

[00:04:19] You need to talk louder, Troy.

[00:04:22] So what do you, what do you want to do?

[00:04:24] I say we just backtrack and short rest.

[00:04:28] So you're going to try to backtrack to like that little prison area?

[00:04:30] Sure.

[00:04:32] It's feasible.

[00:04:33] Right.

[00:04:36] Um, you may do so.

[00:04:40] I can roll them one at a time to decide how many I want to take, right?

[00:04:43] Yeah.

[00:04:43] I think that's a fifth ed rule.

[00:04:47] We're level five.

[00:04:49] Yes.

[00:04:51] I mean, no.

[00:04:51] You aren't because you missed a session.

[00:04:53] Oops.

[00:05:00] Nope.

[00:05:04] My health's high enough.

[00:05:05] I'm not going to worry about that.

[00:05:10] Keep watch.

[00:05:11] Yeah.

[00:05:12] Not everybody took damage or very much of it.

[00:05:15] I'll keep watch just to make sure nothing sneaks up on us.

[00:05:22] Cody's a little harder to hit, but when I hit, I usually do a lot of damage.

[00:05:24] So rage and caging.

[00:05:30] Okay.

[00:05:30] I haven't spent any number of hit die, right?

[00:05:32] Correct.

[00:05:33] Yeah.

[00:05:33] But you only, you get half as many back on a long rest.

[00:05:36] Welcome Tegan to the podcast, everyone.

[00:05:38] Uh, I'm at 57 out of 65 having used three hit die.

[00:05:42] Cause I rolled two twos on D 12s.

[00:05:44] Not two shabs.

[00:05:46] Uh, can I get a couple of listen rolls?

[00:05:48] Yeah.

[00:05:49] Good one.

[00:05:50] Yeah.

[00:05:51] Oh, I forget listening.

[00:05:57] Gentlemen's totally normal and not strange five.

[00:06:00] Mm-hmm.

[00:06:00] Yeah.

[00:06:02] 18, but I was already paying attention.

[00:06:04] So does that give me an advantage?

[00:06:07] Um, you hear a little bit of movement and humming through that door that's in front of you now from that where you're in this prison area again.

[00:06:15] There's that door to the south of you guys.

[00:06:17] You do hear a little bit of movement and, uh, beyond that door.

[00:06:20] You also heard some scuffling down the tunnel.

[00:06:23] Hmm.

[00:06:24] That you just came back down.

[00:06:28] Scuffling.

[00:06:32] Well, you did kill a lot of people so far.

[00:06:37] Yeah.

[00:06:37] You weren't quiet about it.

[00:06:39] None of them?

[00:06:41] Well.

[00:06:41] I mean, I was.

[00:06:43] Well, you're a cat.

[00:06:45] I don't think they were when you ripped their throats out.

[00:06:47] No.

[00:06:48] It's their problem.

[00:06:50] Die quieter.

[00:06:52] Well, I haven't invented silencers yet.

[00:06:58] And firearms are not quiet.

[00:07:01] So, those who passed hear this.

[00:07:06] Scuffling and humming.

[00:07:08] Is this at the end of our rest?

[00:07:10] Yeah.

[00:07:10] Like how we gain things back?

[00:07:11] Yeah.

[00:07:12] 10 minutes is 10 minutes.

[00:07:13] I'm gonna make a stealth check.

[00:07:16] Long rest might have been different.

[00:07:17] 10 minutes you guys are getting.

[00:07:18] That is 20.

[00:07:21] It's pretty stealthy.

[00:07:22] Okay.

[00:07:23] And I'm gonna start heading up the tunnel.

[00:07:26] Just to kind of scout and see what's going on.

[00:07:29] Um, alright.

[00:07:31] You creep, you creep, you creep.

[00:07:32] You don't see anything.

[00:07:36] Like, you don't see any movement in that room at the end.

[00:07:39] Where you just came from.

[00:07:41] Which is the cafeteria.

[00:07:42] Or whatever you want to call it.

[00:07:44] Um, you don't see any movement in there.

[00:07:46] But you did definitely hear something in there earlier.

[00:07:52] It was like a shuffling?

[00:07:54] Yeah, I mean it sounded like footsteps and grumbling.

[00:07:57] Oh.

[00:07:59] Um, doesn't appear as if any of the bodies that are laying on the ground have moved.

[00:08:03] But you, you know, having not entered the room, you don't see.

[00:08:07] From the tunnel, you don't see anything.

[00:08:09] I'll head up to the end of the tunnel.

[00:08:12] Okay.

[00:08:13] Just kind of peer in.

[00:08:14] See what I can see.

[00:08:15] Cool.

[00:08:18] It's probably not going to hit you, but it is a surprise attack.

[00:08:26] Oh wait, these guys are in here.

[00:08:27] Sorry.

[00:08:29] I always forget which ones are in this book and which ones are in the back of this book.

[00:08:33] Are they warriors?

[00:08:34] Did it solve me without making a perception check?

[00:08:38] I rolled checks.

[00:08:40] Oh, gotcha.

[00:08:40] I rolled a bunch of checks while you guys were resting.

[00:08:42] Yeah.

[00:08:44] Basically, there are two guys.

[00:08:45] One on either side of this tunnel.

[00:08:47] And they are swinging at your head when you go, ooh.

[00:08:50] Yeah.

[00:08:51] I just need to remember which version of the Voromai they are, because there's apparently

[00:08:55] five versions of Voromai in this game.

[00:08:58] They came from here.

[00:08:59] They are warriors.

[00:09:00] Okay.

[00:09:05] So...

[00:09:06] Swing.

[00:09:09] Does a 15 hit you?

[00:09:11] Okay.

[00:09:13] And...

[00:09:14] That's exactly the same roll.

[00:09:15] So they both swing, swing, and you just duck out of the way.

[00:09:18] I guess y'all can roll initiative.

[00:09:20] It is not a short jaunt down this hallway for the rest of you.

[00:09:25] But, uh...

[00:09:27] Here we are.

[00:09:29] I'm in combat already.

[00:09:31] I saw that.

[00:09:33] I didn't figure he was drawing on the map for funsies.

[00:09:38] Were you sneaking around for the sound?

[00:09:41] Yeah, he was trying to stealth around.

[00:09:43] No, I did.

[00:09:44] But...

[00:09:44] Lucas saw me, but I never saw him roll a perception check, so I think he's a lion ass.

[00:09:48] I was roll and die while you guys were roll and die.

[00:09:50] I don't think you were.

[00:09:52] Are you AI?

[00:09:53] Yes.

[00:09:55] You have to tell me if you're AI.

[00:09:57] It's come what he had to tell me if you're AI.

[00:10:00] Are you a co-op?

[00:10:03] Um...

[00:10:04] Are these guys medium?

[00:10:05] They are medium, so it doesn't really matter what I use.

[00:10:13] I like how you've gotten to the end of a very open space where things are clearly right up in your ball sack.

[00:10:19] He poked his head through the doorway, and then they both swung and missed.

[00:10:23] But you guys are 30 feet away from where he's at.

[00:10:28] Roll initiatives.

[00:10:36] Hey, that's better.

[00:10:38] Oh, you already rolled?

[00:10:39] My pen!

[00:10:45] The pen is mighty!

[00:10:55] As well.

[00:10:56] Let's put them both on the same initiative.

[00:10:58] Remember to aim for the eyes.

[00:11:01] Cody?

[00:11:05] Uh...

[00:11:06] Good call.

[00:11:06] 20.

[00:11:08] Troy?

[00:11:10] Nine.

[00:11:11] Flian?

[00:11:12] Thirteen.

[00:11:15] Alex?

[00:11:16] Nineteen.

[00:11:18] Cody goes first.

[00:11:19] You probably hear a couple of great axes hit the ground as they both miss in the distance.

[00:11:27] Tally-ho.

[00:11:29] Yeah.

[00:11:31] You got 30 feet of movement.

[00:11:32] Well, you've got me in the middle of four squares, so I don't know where I can go.

[00:11:35] I don't know.

[00:11:36] You've tossed me haphazardly.

[00:11:38] You guys are resting, so I just randomly put you over there.

[00:11:43] Yep.

[00:11:44] Randomly put me within 25 feet of the enemy, please.

[00:11:49] There you go.

[00:11:50] 35.

[00:11:50] Might as well double move.

[00:11:52] You going through him into the middle?

[00:11:54] I'm going to go through him into the middle and one additional square.

[00:12:01] There you stand.

[00:12:02] Uh, what do I see, Lucas?

[00:12:04] You see two vormi with great axes.

[00:12:06] Oh, punk bitches.

[00:12:08] They were in a different room.

[00:12:09] They were hoping you would rest in this room and sneak up and kill you later.

[00:12:13] But you took a short rest instead.

[00:12:17] Um...

[00:12:19] I will look at them and go,

[00:12:21] Flee for your lives!

[00:12:25] Intimidation.

[00:12:26] Yeah.

[00:12:29] Your...

[00:12:29] Your turn was to double move.

[00:12:31] Yep.

[00:12:32] Um, it goes...

[00:12:33] Speech is a free action.

[00:12:34] Yeah, sure.

[00:12:35] It goes to Alex.

[00:12:35] It is.

[00:12:36] No, I believe you.

[00:12:38] America.

[00:12:39] They are not intimidated.

[00:12:39] But soft!

[00:12:40] What light through yonder window breaks!

[00:12:43] But soft!

[00:12:44] It is the east!

[00:12:45] And Juliet is the sun!

[00:12:48] Arise, fair sun!

[00:12:49] All of this is free, Lucas!

[00:12:50] And kill the glorious moon!

[00:12:52] Envious moon!

[00:12:53] For thou art sick and pale with grief!

[00:12:57] When's the last time...

[00:12:58] When's the last time you think I've actually read that?

[00:13:00] No, finish it!

[00:13:00] Finish it!

[00:13:01] That thou her maid art far more fair than she.

[00:13:03] That's why she's envious.

[00:13:05] Be not thy maid.

[00:13:06] For she is envious.

[00:13:08] It's about two 14 year olds fucking.

[00:13:10] I think that it's one of the shittier plays if I'm honest.

[00:13:13] Yeah, I don't like it that much.

[00:13:15] Alex?

[00:13:16] I used to know we few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

[00:13:19] And I could do that one a good bit.

[00:13:20] I prefer Macbeth myself.

[00:13:25] But I digress.

[00:13:26] Do you know the great dictator monologue?

[00:13:28] I do not.

[00:13:29] It's really good.

[00:13:30] I don't know by heart, but it's really good.

[00:13:33] I will move towards the other room where all this nonsense is going on.

[00:13:36] I didn't have to do that one either.

[00:13:39] I did Tybalt.

[00:13:41] What do you mean?

[00:13:42] Tis not as deep as a well, nor as wide as a church door, but tis enough to will serve.

[00:13:46] You only get 30 feet.

[00:13:48] No, I don't.

[00:13:48] I get 35.

[00:13:49] What do you get 35?

[00:13:50] My armor.

[00:13:52] Oh, that's right.

[00:13:53] I'm faster and stealthier than everybody but the cat.

[00:13:57] In fairness, you can't see them.

[00:13:59] We don't care about fair with you.

[00:14:00] They're behind a wall.

[00:14:00] You're not real.

[00:14:01] You can see them.

[00:14:02] You can't see the vormi.

[00:14:05] Troy, I assume.

[00:14:05] How high is the ceiling in this walkway, by the way?

[00:14:09] Not super, like maybe eight or nine feet.

[00:14:11] It's not that tall.

[00:14:12] It's a very narrow space.

[00:14:14] And the dining hall?

[00:14:17] How high is that?

[00:14:19] I need to know the ceiling, Lucas.

[00:14:23] Immerse us.

[00:14:25] Is this a grand hall?

[00:14:27] Is it a hovel?

[00:14:28] I think you should take the diagonal because Lucas isn't causing it the extra movement.

[00:14:32] And you should take the diagonal on the curve of the portal, the cylinder of this hallway.

[00:14:40] So by the time you move forward 35 feet, you're also like what?

[00:14:46] 20 feet in the air?

[00:14:48] I could take that steep of an arc, right?

[00:14:50] But he could easily get like two or three squares up.

[00:14:53] Well, being the half dragon that I am, I have the double hinged legs.

[00:14:59] So you can just kind of, if you've ever seen those sprinters who have the bunny legs, the mechanical legs that extend their stride.

[00:15:06] Imagine that just sprinting up to the ceiling.

[00:15:09] But like the thought of that just terrified me.

[00:15:12] A D&D like ranged person, right?

[00:15:14] Not sprinting down the narrow hall where you've created a choke.

[00:15:18] They're corkscrewing towards you onto the ceiling to get a clear line of sight.

[00:15:23] Probably nine to ten feet at best.

[00:15:24] Oh yeah.

[00:15:25] You could easily be standing on the ceiling right now.

[00:15:28] That is what we'll do.

[00:15:30] Oh yeah, yeah.

[00:15:32] I will be on the ceiling so I am not blocking the way.

[00:15:35] If I have to crouch, I can.

[00:15:38] Sorry, you double moving into the other room?

[00:15:40] That's the plan.

[00:15:43] I'm going up the stairs and I'm going down the stairs.

[00:15:45] We'll pretend that you're in the air.

[00:15:46] I'm going up the sideways stairs.

[00:15:49] I am currently on the ceiling.

[00:15:51] What would you like?

[00:15:52] About to cause some chaos.

[00:15:54] Probably right in the middle.

[00:15:54] Wait, I think I got skipped.

[00:15:56] I had a 13, Troy had nine.

[00:15:57] Oh, I'm sorry.

[00:15:58] That's true.

[00:15:59] I'm sorry.

[00:15:59] You are correct.

[00:16:01] You are correct.

[00:16:02] Go ahead.

[00:16:05] I am going to take smack on the pink man.

[00:16:10] Pink man!

[00:16:12] Pink?

[00:16:12] Pink man!

[00:16:14] That is a 17.

[00:16:17] Yep.

[00:16:19] Alright.

[00:16:19] He's getting my second business.

[00:16:23] I'll roll damage just in case.

[00:16:29] Seven damage.

[00:16:33] I'm going to call pink number one.

[00:16:35] One more again.

[00:16:36] That is a 19.

[00:16:39] Still hits.

[00:16:40] Damage.

[00:16:41] That is 12 damage.

[00:16:46] How's he looking?

[00:16:47] As I remember, he should still be up.

[00:16:48] Oh yeah.

[00:16:49] No, they're pretty hardy.

[00:16:51] Alright.

[00:16:51] Dropping a key point for Larry of Blows.

[00:16:53] The Warriors are really hardy.

[00:16:54] One more again.

[00:16:56] That is a 20.

[00:16:57] Still hits.

[00:16:59] Wow.

[00:17:00] That is eight damage.

[00:17:03] You're close.

[00:17:06] And one more again.

[00:17:10] Warriors are bigger than that.

[00:17:12] That is a 14.

[00:17:14] 14 misses.

[00:17:15] Ah, pass.

[00:17:16] Warriors are thick boys.

[00:17:18] You're about halfway.

[00:17:20] Alright.

[00:17:21] A little over halfway.

[00:17:24] Um...

[00:17:24] So you did damage.

[00:17:26] Gratz.

[00:17:27] Uh, now it's Troy.

[00:17:29] You want to double move directly to the middle of the cloth.

[00:17:31] Yep.

[00:17:31] You got any of those super cold Coca-Colis?

[00:17:34] Yeah.

[00:17:34] Oh baby.

[00:17:37] Oh!

[00:17:38] Awesome.

[00:17:42] Um...

[00:17:42] Coyote!

[00:17:44] Top of the order.

[00:17:45] No wait, sorry.

[00:17:47] Where am I?

[00:17:48] I would...

[00:17:48] I would...

[00:17:49] Screw myself up because I did the...

[00:17:50] I really was biting my son...

[00:17:52] Or my tongue to not say teacher, teacher.

[00:17:54] You biting your son?

[00:17:54] Don't do that.

[00:17:55] Teacher, teacher.

[00:17:56] Because I wanted to be like, you didn't attack, Lucas.

[00:17:58] Alright.

[00:17:58] But I was like, nah, I'll just take it.

[00:18:00] Uh, pink will swipe on the cat with the great axe.

[00:18:04] That's a 19 on the die.

[00:18:06] 21 to hit.

[00:18:07] I just want to say no.

[00:18:09] Yep.

[00:18:10] Um...

[00:18:11] Cats can't be hit by attacks that are divisible by seven.

[00:18:15] Everyone knows that, Lucas.

[00:18:16] True.

[00:18:17] That's 11 slashing for the first hit.

[00:18:20] They get multi-attack.

[00:18:22] Uh, that's a natural two, so the second one will miss.

[00:18:25] Uh, blue will...

[00:18:28] Blue will choose the big dude.

[00:18:31] Why?

[00:18:32] Oh, that's good.

[00:18:32] Your bigger target.

[00:18:34] As opposed to the armored guy right in front of him?

[00:18:36] 15 will miss.

[00:18:40] Natural 20 will hit.

[00:18:41] Nope.

[00:18:42] Immune to crits.

[00:18:44] It is 11.

[00:18:45] It's a cool ghoul feat.

[00:18:46] Very cool.

[00:18:47] Can't crit that, which is not alive.

[00:18:49] It is 23...

[00:18:52] 26 damage.

[00:18:54] 26 slashing.

[00:18:56] I rolled an 11 and a 12 on that die.

[00:18:59] For the damage.

[00:19:03] AI would have been nicer.

[00:19:07] AI would do the math correctly, though.

[00:19:10] I feel like it favors us if Lucas has to do a lot of math.

[00:19:14] It's true.

[00:19:15] Now it's Cody's turn.

[00:19:20] Did Troy get to churn?

[00:19:23] Yes.

[00:19:24] Troy moved.

[00:19:24] And then the Vormai went.

[00:19:26] Vormai overlasted in order.

[00:19:31] Rage.

[00:19:32] There's one.

[00:19:34] Recklessly attack.

[00:19:36] Yep.

[00:19:37] Which one?

[00:19:38] Blue?

[00:19:40] No, you already told me the pink's at half health, so we'll try and drop the pink one first.

[00:19:43] That's fine.

[00:19:54] I assume that a 25 will hit.

[00:19:57] Nope.

[00:19:59] I know this game works, though.

[00:20:01] Can't hit over 20.

[00:20:05] A whopping 8 damage.

[00:20:09] I'll swing on him again.

[00:20:10] 10.

[00:20:15] No, I think you said that did do it.

[00:20:16] 15 to hit.

[00:20:17] 15 is the exact number of the AC.

[00:20:23] Another 8 damage.

[00:20:31] Still standing.

[00:20:32] Looks pretty bad, but still standing.

[00:20:34] I take my last attack.

[00:20:35] Yep.

[00:20:40] That's another 15 to hit.

[00:20:42] Still hits.

[00:20:46] 6 damage.

[00:20:49] Still standing.

[00:20:51] Bleeding like a...

[00:20:51] Action search.

[00:20:52] Still standing.

[00:20:54] Alright.

[00:21:00] That's like a 25 to hit.

[00:21:04] 11 damage on that guy.

[00:21:05] Now he's dead.

[00:21:06] With an action search, I get all my attacks back, right?

[00:21:10] Um...

[00:21:10] Yes.

[00:21:12] So now I hit the blue guy.

[00:21:13] Yep.

[00:21:16] That is a...

[00:21:18] 24 to hit.

[00:21:19] Which will still hit.

[00:21:22] Climb in the throat.

[00:21:23] First time hitting this guy.

[00:21:25] For 12 damage.

[00:21:28] And...

[00:21:30] Bite his face!

[00:21:35] That's gonna hit again, cause that's a 16?

[00:21:37] Yep.

[00:21:39] 3 points of damage.

[00:21:43] You should've run!

[00:21:45] It just hisses at you.

[00:21:49] Bitch!

[00:21:50] Alex, you're on the ceiling.

[00:21:51] What do you wanna do?

[00:21:52] One of these things is already dead,

[00:21:54] and now you're on the ceiling.

[00:21:55] Dance! I can...

[00:21:58] Dance!

[00:21:59] Alex is dancing on the ceiling.

[00:22:01] After!

[00:22:01] Dance! Magic dance!

[00:22:05] Um...

[00:22:05] Since there's only one of them,

[00:22:06] I might as well just fire on it.

[00:22:08] That's good.

[00:22:09] Shoot it in the head.

[00:22:10] Yeah, it's a...

[00:22:11] Oh, Del Tangle makes a good boost.

[00:22:13] It's my favorite.

[00:22:15] 15?

[00:22:16] Yeah. Barely hits.

[00:22:18] Shoot it in the face!

[00:22:21] Shooter!

[00:22:22] I love the visual of him.

[00:22:25] Uh...

[00:22:26] 3.

[00:22:27] Cool.

[00:22:30] Well, I get 2...

[00:22:32] I get double attack.

[00:22:33] Winged it.

[00:22:35] So, see if the second one does better.

[00:22:37] I like the idea that the projectile is left

[00:22:40] and it's already auto-reloading via magic.

[00:22:43] That, on the other hand, was 23.

[00:22:45] Still hits.

[00:22:49] 7 billion points of damage.

[00:22:53] 7.

[00:22:54] Ooh.

[00:22:56] But...

[00:22:57] 2...

[00:22:58] 2 to the chest.

[00:22:59] We'll work on that.

[00:23:01] Thwop, thwop.

[00:23:03] I attack him.

[00:23:08] 19.

[00:23:09] Yep.

[00:23:12] 11 damage.

[00:23:14] Kitty got claws.

[00:23:16] One more again.

[00:23:18] Ooh.

[00:23:19] 16.

[00:23:20] Yep.

[00:23:23] 11.

[00:23:26] Still up.

[00:23:27] Looks really bad though.

[00:23:29] Kinda teetering a little.

[00:23:31] You might be able to get it.

[00:23:33] Yeah, we'll just do single bonus action.

[00:23:35] I feel like it's like 10 to 15.

[00:23:36] Oh, ass.

[00:23:39] Ass, ass, ass, ass, ass.

[00:23:41] Troy.

[00:23:43] You might actually get one attack off here.

[00:23:45] Nat 20!

[00:23:46] Oh, baby!

[00:23:46] Such a waste.

[00:23:48] No.

[00:23:50] Nat 20 is never wasted.

[00:23:52] On a guy with 3 hit points.

[00:23:54] You're right.

[00:23:54] You're absolutely right.

[00:23:55] Doesn't fucking matter.

[00:23:57] He is hit with...

[00:23:59] Let's see...

[00:24:00] Carry the wand...

[00:24:01] He's dead.

[00:24:02] Yeah, he's fucking dead.

[00:24:04] I don't know, but you've got a crit.

[00:24:06] So what do you do?

[00:24:07] Immerse me, Troy.

[00:24:11] No.

[00:24:12] Alright.

[00:24:13] Immerse yourself.

[00:24:14] Alright.

[00:24:15] It's never a good way to tell a child the parent is dead.

[00:24:19] He jabs his harpoon through the guy's throat and then leans over and goes...

[00:24:24] And then tips it down so he slides off of it real slow into a bloody heap.

[00:24:29] There.

[00:24:29] Curse myself.

[00:24:30] Two more bodies in this room of bodies.

[00:24:35] Troy has a boner while he does it.

[00:24:37] I believe it.

[00:24:37] Fish boner.

[00:24:38] It's just Troy, not his character.

[00:24:40] It's just Troy.

[00:24:43] Any more bodies start collecting here we might have to pile them up.

[00:24:46] It's not a large space and there's a lot of dead bodies in this.

[00:24:50] So back to that single door that was on the south side.

[00:24:57] Yeah.

[00:24:58] That rest is basically a waste.

[00:24:59] You just want to open it?

[00:25:00] Yeah.

[00:25:01] Alright.

[00:25:03] Stealth doesn't work.

[00:25:04] Kick the door open.

[00:25:10] That is not a d20 by the way.

[00:25:12] It is.

[00:25:13] I rolled my d20.

[00:25:16] It's the one with the eyeball in it.

[00:25:18] I saw the d12 move, but whatever works.

[00:25:21] I feel like that's probably...

[00:25:22] It might have bumped into the d12.

[00:25:24] Okay.

[00:25:26] Um...

[00:25:27] Wait, are they not in there?

[00:25:29] They're a different stat?

[00:25:34] Oh.

[00:25:35] Because they're not Bormai.

[00:25:37] Uh, you see a familiar looking humanoid serpent folk fire an arrow at you.

[00:25:46] Um...

[00:25:48] That is a...

[00:25:50] Modified 20 to hit.

[00:25:52] Nope.

[00:25:53] Wait, where is this asshole?

[00:25:54] He opened up the door to the south and he immediately got an arrow fired at him.

[00:25:59] Oh my god.

[00:26:00] The single door or the double door?

[00:26:02] The single door.

[00:26:06] And what you see is not a very large space at all.

[00:26:09] Well that nook isn't very good if he's facing the door.

[00:26:13] It's like he's shooting from cover from a different cardinal direction.

[00:26:17] What you do see pretty clearly behind him is there's a really tiny slit right behind him.

[00:26:23] Oh, an opening where an arrow, like a bow and arrow could be fired through facing his back.

[00:26:32] Possibly to an area you have not yet ventured into.

[00:26:34] Yeah.

[00:26:36] Um, yep, that's what you see.

[00:26:39] Shot the arrow, missed.

[00:26:41] No, he hit me.

[00:26:42] Oh, you did hit me?

[00:26:43] Yeah.

[00:26:43] Oh, sorry.

[00:26:45] I didn't know if you got like new armor a while ago.

[00:26:47] I couldn't remember.

[00:26:49] You guys have gained a lot of shit.

[00:26:50] Yeah.

[00:26:52] If that's the case, then I'll roll a little bit of damage.

[00:26:54] It probably won't be much.

[00:26:55] Um, oh cool.

[00:26:59] I do get two attacks though.

[00:27:03] Even ranged.

[00:27:04] That's a 17 on the die, so they're both going to hit.

[00:27:07] Uh, short bow is a d6.

[00:27:11] So first one is max damage.

[00:27:14] That's nine for the first hit.

[00:27:17] And eight for the second.

[00:27:20] Piercing.

[00:27:22] Um, please make a constitution saving throw.

[00:27:25] It's not a big number.

[00:27:26] Nope.

[00:27:27] It's a nine.

[00:27:28] Oof.

[00:27:32] Eight.

[00:27:33] That is three poison damage.

[00:27:37] Not poisoned, just poison damage.

[00:27:44] We'll just keep you in the same initiative.

[00:27:48] Oh, no.

[00:27:50] I was confused on your, your class and race there for a minute.

[00:27:53] Cause I wasn't sure if you could be poisoned.

[00:27:59] Cause yeah.

[00:28:00] So basically I thought you're a paladin, but you're not your cleric, right?

[00:28:03] Basically paladin.

[00:28:05] You still be poisoned at this point.

[00:28:08] Maybe I should roll initiative for these guys.

[00:28:10] I don't, I mean, I'm not poisoned.

[00:28:13] Oh.

[00:28:16] Um.

[00:28:17] Sooner or later you're immune to diseases and shit.

[00:28:20] Alex, uh, Alex, what is your dex bonus?

[00:28:24] Hmm.

[00:28:25] Three.

[00:28:25] Three.

[00:28:26] Okay.

[00:28:27] So I'm going to keep the same initiative cause basically it was your turn.

[00:28:32] Anyway, you killed a guy and then opened the door.

[00:28:35] So the top of the order will be Cody again.

[00:28:37] Uh, I get a second attack.

[00:28:41] You didn't attack yet.

[00:28:43] Oh yeah, I did.

[00:28:44] Your second, your second action was to open the door.

[00:28:48] Moving on.

[00:28:52] You got hit.

[00:28:53] Sorry, buddy.

[00:28:55] Uh, cat was, uh, it's a little further down than what I drew.

[00:28:59] So what it has like here and you're like here and you're on the ceiling.

[00:29:04] Like that.

[00:29:05] So Cody, I am immune to disease.

[00:29:08] He just got hit by two arrows and you're like, Oh no, I'm not.

[00:29:11] I throw a fucking javelin at him.

[00:29:17] Okay.

[00:29:18] Oh no, no.

[00:29:18] I'm running forward as I do so.

[00:29:20] So the javelin throw is like from eight feet away.

[00:29:25] Would you like to take a step in and then throw it?

[00:29:28] No, I don't know how this all is phony baloney.

[00:29:31] The squares don't mean anything.

[00:29:32] So I will move as close as close as possible.

[00:29:36] Throw something at it.

[00:29:37] Right.

[00:29:37] Then I'm going to throw something at it to continue my rage.

[00:29:39] You push him out of the way, throw a javelin.

[00:29:41] Regular javelin, lightning javelin.

[00:29:43] Lightning!

[00:29:44] Doesn't mean I have to.

[00:29:45] You only have so many of those, right?

[00:29:46] I have three of them and they recharge every day.

[00:29:49] Oh.

[00:29:50] Yeah.

[00:29:50] It has not been a full day and you used them upstairs.

[00:29:53] I don't know that I used them.

[00:29:56] You used them when you fought the big bads at the top of the mountain.

[00:29:59] I think you have to remember these things cause I don't.

[00:30:01] You took an eight hour rest, not a 24 hour rest.

[00:30:03] So I'm going to say if you get out of them, you're out of them.

[00:30:05] Or if you have like one left, you got one left.

[00:30:07] Javelin's still pokey, right?

[00:30:09] Javelin with still pokey.

[00:30:10] Still counts.

[00:30:11] Wait, what's a 24 hour rest?

[00:30:14] It's not been 24 hours since he's been there.

[00:30:16] Oh, gotcha.

[00:30:16] Okay.

[00:30:17] Like a long rest is only eight hours.

[00:30:18] It's been eight hours since he last through them.

[00:30:20] Well, longer than that, but it's not been 24 hours.

[00:30:23] Oh.

[00:30:24] He used them.

[00:30:25] You guys rested when you leveled up.

[00:30:26] It's longer than eight, but shorter than 24.

[00:30:29] So we're in this mythical timey wimey space that Lucas has invented.

[00:30:33] I think if we take our next three and a half hour short rest,

[00:30:36] which will give us the long rest benefits.

[00:30:37] We'll be getting, it's not been 24 hours since you last through those

[00:30:40] javelins.

[00:30:40] So if you, if you emptied them, if you emptied them out,

[00:30:43] then they are not recharged.

[00:30:46] And I would imagine.

[00:30:47] I presume I can continue to, I can reckless attack a ranged attack, right?

[00:30:52] I think I can.

[00:30:53] We, I think that's melee.

[00:30:56] We talked about this before.

[00:30:57] I don't think so.

[00:30:59] I'm actually quite certain.

[00:31:00] I don't think.

[00:31:00] I'm pretty sure we had the same argument in that part of the audio I just

[00:31:03] edited and I think it was the same.

[00:31:05] But I don't trust you because you're not a computer.

[00:31:08] I know, but I believe Troy also said if Lucas knows the rules,

[00:31:11] we should probably listen this time.

[00:31:14] To be fair, it says when you, you can throw all concern.

[00:31:18] So I am throwing all concern.

[00:31:21] Melee weapon attack.

[00:31:22] Thank you.

[00:31:22] I am using strength.

[00:31:24] I am using a melee weapon with a strength attack.

[00:31:29] Javelin is not a melee weapon.

[00:31:30] Yes, it absolutely is.

[00:31:33] Especially, but you're using it as a range.

[00:31:35] You're using it as a ranged weapon.

[00:31:37] Well, at that range, I'm pretty much not.

[00:31:39] Throw the fucking javelin.

[00:31:40] You're not using it.

[00:31:41] It's not reckless.

[00:31:43] Hey, Alexa.

[00:31:47] Just throw the javelin and.

[00:31:49] It strikes the wall, Lucas.

[00:31:50] Continue with your shitty turn, with your shitty players.

[00:31:53] Do you only get one attack?

[00:31:54] With your shitty bullshit.

[00:31:55] I don't know.

[00:31:56] Do I?

[00:31:56] What phony baloney world is this?

[00:31:58] You get multiple attacks, I thought.

[00:32:00] Whether the melee or not.

[00:32:02] You make up your mind, homie.

[00:32:04] It's your character sheet.

[00:32:05] If you don't want to take more than one attack, that's fine with me.

[00:32:14] It's because it's the, uh, it's because of the two weapon fighting.

[00:32:18] Oh, that's why.

[00:32:20] Okay.

[00:32:21] Then we'll go to Alex, who is on the ceiling in the other room.

[00:32:25] So it would probably take your full movement to get back down.

[00:32:28] I mean, you could drop, but then you're on the floor, you gotta pick yourself back up.

[00:32:34] Yeah.

[00:32:35] Suck it, Lucas.

[00:32:39] I mean, it is AI.

[00:32:41] Do you use AI for that?

[00:32:42] It does say you can.

[00:32:44] Fuck AI.

[00:32:46] Fuck it for being right.

[00:32:49] It's not right.

[00:32:52] Alex, you're on the ceiling in the other room.

[00:32:54] I'll get down from the ceiling currently.

[00:32:57] You are now on the floor.

[00:32:59] Same spot.

[00:33:02] It would be very difficult to fire through here with two people and not hit them.

[00:33:07] Fuck it.

[00:33:08] Roll a 20.

[00:33:10] That would, it's a, it's a disadvantage roll for sure to hit.

[00:33:13] And if you roll horribly, you have one of your friends.

[00:33:15] That's not the way that works.

[00:33:17] Lucas is making up all kinds of goddamn rolls tonight.

[00:33:20] Or is it like a negative two or something?

[00:33:21] I don't remember.

[00:33:23] I don't have the rule book in front of me.

[00:33:27] You actually got the PHP in front of you, but it might be in the DMG.

[00:33:31] I don't remember.

[00:33:32] Depends on if you consider it cover.

[00:33:35] I mean, yeah, there's two bodies in front of him.

[00:33:38] That's pretty much cover for me.

[00:33:42] Two bodies in front of who?

[00:33:44] In front of the enemy.

[00:33:46] In the other room.

[00:33:48] These aren't bodies we've killed yet.

[00:33:51] No, I'm talking about these two people are standing in front of him.

[00:33:54] He's saying you can't see through us.

[00:33:56] I thought he was talking about dead bodies.

[00:33:58] There's so many of them around us.

[00:34:00] Based on what I'm seeing.

[00:34:02] Yeah, I'll consider it cover.

[00:34:04] I'll consider it three quarters cover, so it just raises the AC a little bit.

[00:34:10] You might be able to see part of him, but not all of them.

[00:34:18] All you gotta do is just roll well.

[00:34:19] As long as you roll 20, everything goes fine.

[00:34:23] Maybe, but why roll well when you can perform shenanigans?

[00:34:26] Just roll a one and see what happens.

[00:34:28] Eh, to hell with it.

[00:34:31] Pretty much.

[00:34:33] Nat 20.

[00:34:35] Nat 1.

[00:34:37] Oh, that's so awesome.

[00:34:41] Um...

[00:34:44] One, two, three, and four.

[00:34:46] Cody.

[00:34:49] Roll damage.

[00:34:53] Four.

[00:34:54] Cody takes four damage as a bullet wings his shoulder.

[00:34:56] No, he doesn't.

[00:34:59] No, I don't. I take two damage.

[00:35:02] Take the amount of damage that you're supposed to take.

[00:35:04] A bullet hits you and you're like, what the fuck?

[00:35:09] Do you only get one shot or do you get two?

[00:35:11] I get two.

[00:35:15] Try again.

[00:35:16] Yeah.

[00:35:17] Aim better.

[00:35:22] 17.

[00:35:24] That's better.

[00:35:26] With their three quarters cover, I don't know that that hits.

[00:35:34] Misses.

[00:35:36] Ping!

[00:35:38] There you be.

[00:35:45] Flynn, you see all this happening in front of you.

[00:35:50] Oh.

[00:35:52] Yeah, go ahead.

[00:35:55] Okay.

[00:35:57] Um...

[00:35:58] I'm gonna look back down that tunnel just to make sure we're not getting snuck up on.

[00:36:02] You see nothing.

[00:36:03] Okay.

[00:36:04] Uh, then I'm gonna run here!

[00:36:06] Yeah!

[00:36:07] Cool.

[00:36:11] Here comes some more bullshit.

[00:36:13] Bleh.

[00:36:15] Coward.

[00:36:17] Does a...

[00:36:22] 22 hit ya.

[00:36:24] The guy hiding in this alcove fires at you.

[00:36:26] Whoa!

[00:36:28] And he, that is a...

[00:36:29] What is that again? Sorry, D6.

[00:36:32] Doesn't do as much damage.

[00:36:34] Five damage, but I need a con save from you.

[00:36:36] Okay.

[00:36:51] DC is 12.

[00:36:52] Okay.

[00:36:53] So, you do not take the poison damage.

[00:36:57] It doesn't say half on a success, so...

[00:36:59] Can I beat his ass now?

[00:37:01] If you'd like to try.

[00:37:02] Okay.

[00:37:04] Yah!

[00:37:05] That is a 20.

[00:37:06] That does hit.

[00:37:09] That is eight damage.

[00:37:11] Kill him, Finn.

[00:37:14] How's he looking?

[00:37:16] You hit him.

[00:37:18] How's he looking?

[00:37:19] Okay.

[00:37:21] 25.

[00:37:27] Hits.

[00:37:29] 12 damage.

[00:37:34] Still up.

[00:37:34] Okay.

[00:37:35] How's he looking?

[00:37:36] Looks good.

[00:37:37] Okay.

[00:37:38] Key point.

[00:37:39] Flurry of blows.

[00:37:41] Watch out!

[00:37:43] Uh, yeah.

[00:37:45] Hits.

[00:37:45] 23 or something.

[00:37:49] 23 or something.

[00:37:51] 11.

[00:37:54] Still up.

[00:37:56] Last done.

[00:37:58] 19.

[00:37:59] Still hits.

[00:38:01] 10 damage.

[00:38:03] Now he's down.

[00:38:04] Ha!

[00:38:06] Kikow!

[00:38:07] Wow.

[00:38:07] He was a snake person?

[00:38:09] They are...

[00:38:10] It's the debased serpent folk that you've seen before.

[00:38:12] These guys are just archers instead of warriors.

[00:38:17] Looks like he shed his skin, but it wasn't ready yet.

[00:38:20] Yeah.

[00:38:21] Probably looks like this dude in the picture.

[00:38:23] He's got a bunch of scratches on his face.

[00:38:25] Um, it is...

[00:38:27] Now it's Troy's turn.

[00:38:30] Um, so he just killed the one that shot you.

[00:38:32] But he also got shot by one down here somewhere.

[00:38:36] Yeah.

[00:38:36] Can't see him there.

[00:38:37] Take me to him.

[00:38:39] Take me to him!

[00:38:41] Yeah, you're there.

[00:38:42] Okay.

[00:38:43] Bonus action.

[00:38:44] Thunderous Smite.

[00:38:50] Crack a cow.

[00:38:51] 20 something hit.

[00:38:53] Thunder!

[00:38:54] Thunder!

[00:38:57] Ahhhh!

[00:39:01] That's good damage.

[00:39:07] That is...

[00:39:10] 25 damage.

[00:39:11] He's still up.

[00:39:12] That's good damage though.

[00:39:14] Divine Smite.

[00:39:25] 6 more damage.

[00:39:29] Still standing, but he does not look good.

[00:39:32] Second attack.

[00:39:33] That's an out one.

[00:39:35] That is a miss.

[00:39:37] And he will get a chance to...

[00:39:39] Ball you back.

[00:39:40] He will drop his bow and then will, uh...

[00:39:45] He will attempt to bite.

[00:39:48] Still a multi-attack on the bite.

[00:39:52] Uh...

[00:39:52] 17 on the die.

[00:39:53] What's the plus on that one?

[00:39:57] Uh, 22 on a bite.

[00:40:02] Not a lot of damage.

[00:40:06] 3...

[00:40:06] 6 piercing.

[00:40:08] And another con save.

[00:40:12] He can't triple save a double stamp.

[00:40:14] He's already poisoned.

[00:40:14] Uh, 15.

[00:40:15] You succeed on the con save.

[00:40:18] Second bite...

[00:40:19] Is a 15 to hit.

[00:40:22] No.

[00:40:23] Then top of the order is Cody.

[00:40:27] I'm gonna run that dude down.

[00:40:34] I'm not sure how.

[00:40:35] There's no...

[00:40:35] You can't share a space with anybody.

[00:40:37] I can move through him.

[00:40:39] Hang on.

[00:40:39] Let me check the map.

[00:40:40] Actually, you might be right behind him.

[00:40:41] I don't know because you've drawn...

[00:40:43] A rough suggestion of a hallway.

[00:40:46] Yeah.

[00:40:47] At the point where he is standing,

[00:40:48] he is no longer even physically on the map.

[00:40:49] You basically get...

[00:40:50] Yeah, there's like one space next to him.

[00:40:52] Sweet reckless attack.

[00:40:54] Pretty sure I cheated the last time I attacked.

[00:40:56] I'll try not to cheat this time.

[00:40:58] He's not looking very good.

[00:40:59] So one hit will probably do it.

[00:41:00] I rolled a 16.

[00:41:02] Uh...

[00:41:02] To hit.

[00:41:03] Yeah.

[00:41:05] And I claw him in the face for 13 points of damage.

[00:41:08] He's dead.

[00:41:09] Yes!

[00:41:11] I just start roaring into his face.

[00:41:14] Cool.

[00:41:15] Um...

[00:41:15] So there are two nooks is another one down here.

[00:41:18] Similar to this.

[00:41:19] There are little slits that if you look out,

[00:41:21] you can see...

[00:41:22] Look into an area.

[00:41:24] Um...

[00:41:24] Off to the right, you can see there's sort of a...

[00:41:26] A sheer cliff face that drops.

[00:41:30] Um...

[00:41:30] You can kind of get the idea that there's some pockmarks

[00:41:32] that if you were to try to climb down it,

[00:41:34] you could use as handholds.

[00:41:36] And this is obviously their...

[00:41:39] Uh...

[00:41:39] Position to try to kill you if you were to do so.

[00:41:43] Wait, so they're...

[00:41:45] Sculpted handholds,

[00:41:46] but then also hideyholds to shoot people

[00:41:48] who use the sculpted handholds.

[00:41:51] Yeah, there's an area out here.

[00:41:53] Mm-hmm.

[00:41:54] And then off to the right, there's a cliff.

[00:41:55] Or not a...

[00:41:56] Yeah, it'd be essentially a cliff

[00:41:57] that is a sheer drop off.

[00:41:59] So if you guys took a different route,

[00:42:01] and you got to that,

[00:42:02] and were climbing down

[00:42:04] and didn't know they were there,

[00:42:05] they would have shot through those slits at you.

[00:42:08] Well...

[00:42:08] Joke's on them.

[00:42:09] It's an ambush section.

[00:42:10] We came from their backsides.

[00:42:12] You did.

[00:42:14] Um...

[00:42:15] Directly...

[00:42:16] Behind you is another door.

[00:42:19] That is closed.

[00:42:28] Thank you all for listening.
