Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos - The Big Sleep 33

More rooms, more fighting, more ancient looking art and artifacts. Also, terrible descriptions of rooms be a tired DM. At what point does the group run into something that they can’t handle?

The search goes on 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 Umythos 5e Adventure.

[00:01:48] Whose Power and Cruelty Show Even in This Cold Stone...

[00:01:52] Yeah, I think I did read this because I couldn't fucking figure out how to pronounce this word.

[00:01:56] Simulacrum?

[00:01:59] Simulacrum?

[00:02:00] Simulacrum.

[00:02:01] That's it.

[00:02:04] Five alcoves in the wall.

[00:02:06] Five alcoves in the wall behind them hold human sized ceramic urns with lids sculpted and painted.

[00:02:11] Those are all in pieces now.

[00:02:14] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[00:02:15] What did the book call them?

[00:02:19] Man-sized ceramic urns.

[00:02:21] And what did you call them?

[00:02:23] Jars.

[00:02:25] It's not wrong, they're just large.

[00:02:26] No, that is very wrong.

[00:02:27] It's really wrong and you should just read the thing.

[00:02:29] Next time, read the description.

[00:02:31] You took four very descriptive words.

[00:02:34] It was late.

[00:02:34] Accurate and descriptive words to one.

[00:02:36] It was late, we were tired and I was like, let's just get this fight going on because Flynn's falling asleep.

[00:02:39] You're fighting jar.

[00:02:40] I know it's falling asleep.

[00:02:41] I apologize.

[00:02:41] Rule 76, play like a champion.

[00:02:44] Best DM ever.

[00:02:47] The wall above the urns is honeycombed with niches, each displaying a vormi skull.

[00:02:54] A vormi with grain fur and voluminous crimson robe is now dead.

[00:03:01] Doesn't matter.

[00:03:02] He was doing something.

[00:03:04] Not anymore.

[00:03:08] He gets to wear the red robes.

[00:03:10] So you guys came in from the north.

[00:03:13] Wait, we killed vormi Santa Claus?

[00:03:15] Kinda.

[00:03:17] So you guys walked in from the north.

[00:03:19] I believe Cody's character was the only one that actually entered the room.

[00:03:22] I might not be mistaken though.

[00:03:25] Because it was a very quick fight.

[00:03:26] So you came in from the north.

[00:03:29] So you came in from the north.

[00:03:29] Directly to your left.

[00:03:32] Um, there's a door.

[00:03:34] And there's another door directly south across from the door you came in.

[00:03:41] Otherwise there are statues, bones, pieces of urn, and a dead vormi wearing a red robe.

[00:03:52] I loot the room.

[00:03:54] Mm-hmm.

[00:03:55] What do you want to try to loot?

[00:03:57] The things that are in the room.

[00:03:59] I would like to loot Santa Claus.

[00:04:02] I believe only two of the skeletons had obsidian axes.

[00:04:06] Otherwise they had just their hands trying to hurt you.

[00:04:09] Um, the other individual has a jar filled with oil.

[00:04:18] It's probably now dumped over.

[00:04:20] It's a 55 gallon jar.

[00:04:23] No.

[00:04:24] Human sized jar of oil.

[00:04:26] Small steel drum.

[00:04:29] Um, maybe like baby food sized.

[00:04:31] We'll go with that.

[00:04:32] How about that for description?

[00:04:33] Baby food sized jar of oil.

[00:04:36] Who produces baby food sized jars in this world, Lucas?

[00:04:40] And for what purpose?

[00:04:41] Who produces man-sized urns?

[00:04:43] People who want to bury bodies in urns.

[00:04:45] Johansson and Johansson?

[00:04:48] Could be.

[00:04:50] Could be.

[00:04:51] No tears.

[00:04:53] Exactly.

[00:04:54] Because they're already dead.

[00:04:57] Um, does that guy have anything on it?

[00:05:01] That's why I want to dilute him.

[00:05:04] Would you like this baby food jar of oil, Flynn?

[00:05:07] I love experiencing this at the same time he does.

[00:05:14] One of them does have a necklace made of teeth.

[00:05:17] I believe you found one of these in another room.

[00:05:20] They're teeth from a creature called a nathke.

[00:05:24] Um, it appears as though it would function as prayer beads.

[00:05:32] Hmm.

[00:05:34] Um...

[00:05:38] No, that's it.

[00:05:39] That's really it.

[00:05:40] So you got two doors.

[00:05:41] You got a...

[00:05:42] A door going east or a door going south.

[00:05:44] South!

[00:05:45] I paw at the door.

[00:05:47] Meow.

[00:05:49] Meow.

[00:05:51] I kick open the door that Flynn is pawing at.

[00:05:54] Okay.

[00:05:55] Boom!

[00:05:57] Um, the door booms.

[00:05:58] Um, the door booms.

[00:05:59] Uh, in front of you, you see sort of a landing and a drawbridge that looks somewhat familiar.

[00:06:05] You feel like you may have stood on the other side of this thing at one point.

[00:06:10] A drawbridge?

[00:06:11] Or a rope bridge?

[00:06:12] No, it's a...

[00:06:15] God damn it!

[00:06:18] What is this?

[00:06:18] I was like, I don't remember a drawbridge.

[00:06:20] I remember a rope bridge.

[00:06:21] It goes up and down.

[00:06:22] Words are important.

[00:06:24] No, bridges...

[00:06:24] Bridges really don't go up and down.

[00:06:26] That's the opposite of what a bridge does.

[00:06:28] It goes over and across, not up and down.

[00:06:32] It is a, uh...

[00:06:33] It's a ladder.

[00:06:33] Wooden bridge.

[00:06:36] So...

[00:06:36] You know, bridges with rungs that sit at an angle.

[00:06:40] So my question is this.

[00:06:44] Should we just come up with our own words at this point?

[00:06:47] Cause...

[00:06:48] What you're describing...

[00:06:49] It's easier.

[00:06:50] ChatGBT, can you run a game for me?

[00:06:52] That's it.

[00:06:52] I'm bringing out Google Gemini.

[00:06:55] So many things are so different depending on how you describe them.

[00:06:59] A rope bridge, very small.

[00:07:01] Maybe we're in the dreamlands and things are changing.

[00:07:04] Nah, he's not gonna roll with that.

[00:07:05] Things aren't what they seem.

[00:07:06] Jars are urns.

[00:07:07] Maybe I'm speaking Acklo in real life.

[00:07:11] Definitely have to make a goddamn sand roll around you.

[00:07:14] I really think, uh, next time, uh...

[00:07:17] Next dungeon, I'll pull out my grid and I'll map it and we'll figure out how we can tell him exactly where we're not where he says we are.

[00:07:24] Yeah.

[00:07:27] So there's a landing in front of you and a bridge that, uh, seems to go across some sort of chasm.

[00:07:35] Not up and down it at a roughly, uh, like 14 degree angle?

[00:07:39] No.

[00:07:40] There's no mechanism that brings the bridge up and down.

[00:07:44] No.

[00:07:45] Okay, perfect.

[00:07:45] Are you stepping out onto the landing?

[00:07:46] Or are you just standing in another room?

[00:07:48] I...

[00:07:48] I indicate the cat can go first.

[00:07:51] Yeah.

[00:07:52] Because the cat can make a reflex save.

[00:07:54] Okay, cat.

[00:07:55] On the landing, you see in front of...

[00:07:57] You do see in front of you the bridge.

[00:07:59] To your left, there is a stairwell that sort of spirals to a bit, heading down into some sort of pit.

[00:08:07] And...

[00:08:07] So we stood on the other side of this drawbridge at some point.

[00:08:11] Right?

[00:08:12] Um...

[00:08:12] It wasn't a drawbridge, it was a rope bridge.

[00:08:14] You didn't really...

[00:08:14] A rope bridge.

[00:08:15] You didn't actually get all the way to it, I don't think, but you saw it.

[00:08:18] I think...

[00:08:19] When you guys...

[00:08:20] When you guys were in the trap room...

[00:08:22] Yeah.

[00:08:22] Oh, okay.

[00:08:23] One of you kind of went along a ledge, you saw this bridge from that side.

[00:08:26] You kind of showed it a circle.

[00:08:27] There was like stairs going up and then there was a spot where you could like get out and look

[00:08:31] on a ledge and we could see like a rope bridge leading off and we went...

[00:08:34] That probably leads off like into the Underdark or whatever the shit.

[00:08:41] Okay.

[00:08:41] Turns out it's a big circle.

[00:08:42] We found where it leads.

[00:08:43] So we have stairs down or we have the bridge itself.

[00:08:46] Yes.

[00:08:47] So stairs down, presuming there's any logic in this place, which is a big presumption.

[00:08:54] Um, not because of Sandy Peterson.

[00:08:58] Um, that would take us below the level of anything we've been down before, depending on how far

[00:09:04] it goes.

[00:09:05] Yeah.

[00:09:05] Yeah.

[00:09:05] You guys have come across a couple of ledges you could have climbed down and I've never

[00:09:08] gone down any of them.

[00:09:09] Yeah.

[00:09:10] If there's anything that reads like, like I'm thinking Zelda map here, you know, where

[00:09:15] you step into B2 and all of a sudden you see the skull.

[00:09:17] Mm-hmm.

[00:09:18] If there's a skull thing, it's this way.

[00:09:22] Bug it.

[00:09:23] Let's go.

[00:09:24] Going down, down.

[00:09:26] I said we're down.

[00:09:27] Na, na, na, na, na, na.

[00:09:28] Hmm.

[00:09:29] Singing, we're going down swinging.

[00:09:31] Give me a perception check first.

[00:09:33] Game 16.

[00:09:35] You hear snoring below you.

[00:09:40] Meow.

[00:09:41] Point down.

[00:09:50] Um, I sort of shrug, make hand gestures.

[00:09:55] I only know the Navy signals.

[00:09:56] Thank you.

[00:09:59] It's great.

[00:09:59] I'll walk down the stairs.

[00:10:01] Uh, stealth.

[00:10:02] Yeah, that's a good idea.

[00:10:04] Ooh.

[00:10:06] 23.

[00:10:07] Yeah.

[00:10:08] You, you are the knight.

[00:10:10] As he goes down, I will, I assume we are single file on this, uh, spiral staircase.

[00:10:15] Are you all following him?

[00:10:16] I will say, meow, wait just a second.

[00:10:18] Let me, let me go check shit out.

[00:10:20] I, I was going to turn around to the people behind me who likely wear armor and tell them

[00:10:25] to shut the fuck up.

[00:10:26] What are we going to do?

[00:10:27] Hey, shut the fuck up.

[00:10:29] I don't make noise, fucker.

[00:10:30] You don't make any noise?

[00:10:32] No.

[00:10:35] Um, you see not one, not two, three, four, five, you see 12.

[00:10:41] Where am I?

[00:10:44] You also see a small door at the bottom of this right in front of you at the bottom of

[00:10:48] the stairs.

[00:10:50] Small door?

[00:10:52] Like, noticeably small or just like?

[00:10:54] Like, it blends in really well, but you, I'm taking your perception into account.

[00:11:01] Okay.

[00:11:01] It blends in really well, but there is clear, there is a door that is.

[00:11:05] This is like, you know.

[00:11:07] Jerry the mouse small door?

[00:11:09] Or are we talking like?

[00:11:10] No, I mean most of the doors you've been going through are like large wooden thick door.

[00:11:14] This is very minimal.

[00:11:16] Thick.

[00:11:17] Okay.

[00:11:17] So what materials is it made out of?

[00:11:18] What kind of various spells do you have?

[00:11:21] So many.

[00:11:22] What would you like me to, what kind of effect are you looking for?

[00:11:26] Boom.

[00:11:26] Death.

[00:11:27] Death and destruction.

[00:11:28] Death predominantly.

[00:11:29] Let's see here.

[00:11:31] Oh.

[00:11:32] I think I have one more javelin.

[00:11:33] I think I'm going to get them all lined in a row.

[00:11:34] Let's see.

[00:11:36] I've got shatter, which is always a fun one.

[00:11:39] Not big enough.

[00:11:40] Thunder wave.

[00:11:41] Not big enough.

[00:11:42] You've got fireball here, huh?

[00:11:43] I've got multiple grenades.

[00:11:45] I've got fire bolts.

[00:11:47] I've got grenades.

[00:11:48] I like the grenade idea.

[00:11:51] The thing about a grenade is it never really matters if you hit your target.

[00:11:57] You just want to be close.

[00:11:58] In fairness.

[00:11:59] It's not that big of a space.

[00:12:01] They're pretty close together.

[00:12:03] There's that.

[00:12:04] I also have my breath weapon.

[00:12:06] So it spirals down.

[00:12:07] Does it spiral just into a room?

[00:12:09] Yeah, sort of.

[00:12:10] It's not like a full circle.

[00:12:11] I mean, it's sort of a bit of a spiral.

[00:12:13] Are we in a room or is there snow?

[00:12:16] It's an open air space.

[00:12:17] The bridge is above you.

[00:12:19] Okay.

[00:12:20] So are they near a ledge?

[00:12:21] No, no.

[00:12:22] They're in a space.

[00:12:23] The ledges would be above you.

[00:12:26] They're not on the edge of a cliff or anything.

[00:12:28] Okay.

[00:12:28] They're just inside of this.

[00:12:29] They're in a contained space.

[00:12:31] Yes.

[00:12:31] But there's no roof.

[00:12:33] The room.

[00:12:34] Let's see.

[00:12:40] It's about 30 by 10.

[00:12:42] It's kind of narrow.

[00:12:43] It's a little more narrow than it is wide.

[00:12:46] So they're in a 30 by 10 space.

[00:12:48] Yeah.

[00:12:49] And they have walls on three sides.

[00:12:52] Technically, four sides.

[00:12:54] It's.

[00:12:54] Yeah.

[00:12:55] That would be a room.

[00:12:56] Yes.

[00:12:57] But it's an open.

[00:12:58] It's an open.

[00:12:59] It's an open air room.

[00:13:01] That's what I'm saying.

[00:13:01] There's no ceiling above you.

[00:13:04] Above you is that bridge.

[00:13:06] It's a sun room.

[00:13:07] Underground.

[00:13:08] Yeah.

[00:13:09] It's a dark room.

[00:13:12] There are four walls.

[00:13:13] Does that mean we can't.

[00:13:15] That Flynn came through a door?

[00:13:19] What?

[00:13:19] No.

[00:13:20] Okay.

[00:13:23] It's surrounded by wall.

[00:13:25] It just has an open space above it.

[00:13:27] And then a door that seems to go out.

[00:13:31] You start some grenades.

[00:13:33] How many grenades you got?

[00:13:36] Jake.

[00:13:37] I've got four and each one of them does 2d6 of damage.

[00:13:40] Canetic.

[00:13:41] Small potatoes.

[00:13:43] I know.

[00:13:43] I need to find a way to boost them and check with the DM about what I can do.

[00:13:50] Can you stuff some caltrops in them?

[00:13:52] I do have caltrops.

[00:13:56] I have those too.

[00:14:00] You can drop a grenade as an action.

[00:14:03] Yeah.

[00:14:03] I can't.

[00:14:13] I can't.

[00:14:16] The adrenaline of lightning is 4d6.

[00:14:20] Yeah.

[00:14:20] But there's only really one target unless there's a line of people.

[00:14:23] Nope.

[00:14:23] It goes in a line.

[00:14:24] Well, yeah.

[00:14:25] They're not exactly in a line.

[00:14:28] I've.

[00:14:28] Are they.

[00:14:29] Are they points in a room that is 10 feet wide?

[00:14:33] Are they what?

[00:14:34] Are they points in a room.

[00:14:36] That is 10 feet wide?

[00:14:38] 30 feet long.

[00:14:38] I mean, I suppose it was just five foot squares scattered around this room.

[00:14:42] So yeah.

[00:14:42] So.

[00:14:44] You might be getting a few of them, but you'd also have to get down there without making noise.

[00:14:50] Shit.

[00:14:51] You mean throwing it from above?

[00:14:52] You're only going to hit one of them because you got to be able to get in a line.

[00:14:57] Where?

[00:14:58] So when I come to the end of the stairs, where's the door in relation to the sleeping

[00:15:02] Vormai?

[00:15:04] I mean, within five feet.

[00:15:06] There's one right.

[00:15:06] There's one right there.

[00:15:08] Okay.

[00:15:09] Well, you basically come up on like five feet in front of you.

[00:15:11] There's a sleeping Vormai right there.

[00:15:12] Okay.

[00:15:13] Where's the door?

[00:15:14] It would be on your left.

[00:15:16] I don't really want to draw this room.

[00:15:18] I mean, I can here.

[00:15:20] You are here.

[00:15:22] You are here.

[00:15:24] Door is there.

[00:15:25] Okay.

[00:15:26] Vormai or Phil are from basically here back throughout this room.

[00:15:31] So I have a pretty straightforward path.

[00:15:34] If you hug the wall, you could get to the door.

[00:15:36] Sure.

[00:15:36] Okay.

[00:15:37] I'm going to do that.

[00:15:38] Okay.

[00:15:42] Then I'm going to just kind of peer around the door.

[00:15:44] Fuck with it a little bit.

[00:15:46] Put my little cat paw in like they do when you're taking a shit.

[00:15:49] It does appear to be locked.

[00:15:51] Well, fuck this then.

[00:15:51] I go upstairs.

[00:15:53] Okay.

[00:15:55] Do you have silence?

[00:15:58] I do not.

[00:15:58] I do not.

[00:15:59] I do not have silence.

[00:16:01] That could be helpful.

[00:16:02] I could be helpful.

[00:16:03] You cast spells.

[00:16:04] Shit, yeah.

[00:16:05] You can't talk.

[00:16:06] What you do is meow.

[00:16:07] Yeah.

[00:16:08] It's my verbal.

[00:16:09] It doesn't say you have to talk.

[00:16:10] Meow.

[00:16:11] You have to make sound.

[00:16:12] A verbal somatic.

[00:16:13] Meow.

[00:16:15] Silence is actually a great call.

[00:16:16] It's just a flick of a tick.

[00:16:17] That is good.

[00:16:17] That's a real good one.

[00:16:18] That's good.

[00:16:19] Because then you could probably get away with coup de crossing every single one of them.

[00:16:24] Yeah.

[00:16:25] I don't know how coup de grace works in 5e.

[00:16:27] It's probably fucking late.

[00:16:28] It doesn't.

[00:16:29] It doesn't.

[00:16:29] We used it once in like the first game we played and I don't think we were supposed

[00:16:32] to.

[00:16:33] We used it on the frog people.

[00:16:34] Fuck wizards.

[00:16:36] Like, they're sleeping.

[00:16:37] I can slit their throats.

[00:16:39] But you could drop a bunch of grenades in there without making noise.

[00:16:43] Yeah, they would make no noise if they had silence on them.

[00:16:46] Or we could just go through, bust the door down, and go through it.

[00:16:51] I'm just trying to be creative and involve the narrative.

[00:16:53] I mean.

[00:16:54] Rage.

[00:16:55] Wake them up, you mean?

[00:16:56] Huh?

[00:16:57] And wake them up, you mean?

[00:16:58] If it's in a silence.

[00:16:59] Oh.

[00:17:01] How long does silence last?

[00:17:03] Is it long enough to slit all their throats?

[00:17:05] Is that concentration?

[00:17:07] Is that concentration?

[00:17:07] Yep.

[00:17:08] Okay.

[00:17:08] I thought so.

[00:17:09] 20 foot radius sphere.

[00:17:12] So if it's 10 by 30 space.

[00:17:17] It's most of the round.

[00:17:20] Would we be able to hit everybody?

[00:17:21] We might need to draw this room out.

[00:17:24] Okay.

[00:17:25] Interestingly enough, I have invisibility but not silence.

[00:17:30] I couldn't remember who it was, but yes, they have fun having it, so.

[00:17:33] Yeah.

[00:17:35] Although that does mean that we can make somebody who's both silent and invisible.

[00:17:43] 20 foot radius.

[00:17:46] I'm so bad at math.

[00:17:48] Is it, did I say 20 foot radius?

[00:17:51] That's what I thought you said.

[00:17:52] It might be.

[00:17:53] So that would be.

[00:17:55] Oh, that'd be the whole fucking room.

[00:17:56] Yeah, no.

[00:17:57] Let me just verify.

[00:17:58] Yeah, that would be the whole room.

[00:18:00] I'm pretty sure you said 20 foot radius, did you not?

[00:18:02] That's why when you were drawing it out, I'm like, why?

[00:18:06] Because he asked me to.

[00:18:10] Because it's 2 pi r, right?

[00:18:12] 20 foot radius.

[00:18:13] Yeah.

[00:18:13] Yep.

[00:18:14] So we're good.

[00:18:15] So you choose a point, 20 feet in all directions.

[00:18:19] Yeah.

[00:18:20] So you put it in the middle of the room.

[00:18:21] Yep.

[00:18:22] 2 pi r.

[00:18:24] Yeah, the room is essentially shaped like an egg with your door right here.

[00:18:28] And you see your spirits go up.

[00:18:30] And that bridge goes across.

[00:18:32] So what all conditions does silence imply, Flynn?

[00:18:37] Well...

[00:18:39] There's no noise.

[00:18:41] That's pretty much what you're looking for.

[00:18:44] Immune to thunder damage.

[00:18:45] Creatures are deafened while entirely incited.

[00:18:48] Casting a spell that includes a verbal component is impossible there.

[00:18:53] So they would be unconscious, which means they're incapacitated.

[00:19:00] Attack rolls have advantage and any attack is automatically a crit.

[00:19:09] Oh, wait.

[00:19:10] I mean, we get...

[00:19:13] Yeah.

[00:19:14] I was reading the wrong scale for grenades.

[00:19:16] It's 5d6 fire damage, not 2d6.

[00:19:21] Oh.

[00:19:22] Wrong stat block.

[00:19:23] Silence is still applicable.

[00:19:26] Yeah.

[00:19:26] Oh, yeah.

[00:19:27] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:19:27] How many grenades you got?

[00:19:29] Four.

[00:19:30] I haven't made any more yet.

[00:19:31] One, two...

[00:19:33] How many would you like to use?

[00:19:35] I can make more later.

[00:19:37] I just need to get the materials.

[00:19:38] I just haven't been able to because we've been in the middle of the fucking cave.

[00:19:42] I can bat one.

[00:19:44] Each one does 5d6 fire damage in a 10-foot radius from where it explodes.

[00:19:51] So that's 10...

[00:19:53] 10-foot radius.

[00:19:53] And it's a 10-foot radius?

[00:19:55] Per grenade.

[00:19:56] That means you only need two to cover the room.

[00:20:00] I mean, what if we roll ones and twos?

[00:20:03] Then you got everybody woken up.

[00:20:05] No, you won't because they're silenced.

[00:20:07] Well, they feel pain and they're gonna wake up and look around and be like, I'm on fire.

[00:20:11] Yeah, but you're...

[00:20:13] There are assholes here.

[00:20:14] You're gonna hit most of them.

[00:20:15] Yeah, but maybe for four damage or five damage.

[00:20:18] I will give you guys all the grenades and I'm gonna go back upstairs.

[00:20:22] Even a grenade?

[00:20:25] They're incapacitated.

[00:20:26] I do not want to be around when this goes around.

[00:20:29] Each roll would have advantage.

[00:20:33] All attack rolls, not just melee?

[00:20:36] But they're prone and it's ranged so it's an even throw.

[00:20:40] Yeah, it's disadvantage.

[00:20:40] Any attack...

[00:20:42] Well, I agree.

[00:20:43] Yeah, prone ranged is disadvantage.

[00:20:45] But it's not actually a ranged attack.

[00:20:47] I mean, it's a ranged attack, but the grenade hits...

[00:20:49] It's considered, per the rules, it's considered a ranged attack.

[00:20:52] But an arrow doesn't hit the ground, a grenade does.

[00:20:57] Depends on how bad you are at shooting arrows.

[00:21:00] Well, fair.

[00:21:01] No, what I'm saying is like...

[00:21:03] My argument there would be yes, a ranged attack.

[00:21:06] If we were shooting them from across the room, 100% agree.

[00:21:08] They should get cover because they're laying down.

[00:21:10] We're hucking something in with the intention of it landing on the ground.

[00:21:13] It's the same as being beside them.

[00:21:16] That'd be my argument, but it's the same thing.

[00:21:20] Unless it's a...

[00:21:20] How big is the radius on that explosion?

[00:21:23] The explosion is a 10-foot radius from the point of the grenade.

[00:21:29] Okay, yeah, you guys would be...

[00:21:31] If you guys lined up on that bridge, you would be higher than that radius.

[00:21:35] So you would be fine in terms of...

[00:21:37] Yeah, no, I'm not worried about hurting us.

[00:21:39] I'm worried about...

[00:21:39] I was trying to see how tall the room was.

[00:21:42] Yeah, just bat it off the bridge.

[00:21:43] You can throw them between 30 to 60 feet.

[00:21:46] 30 is the base, but to increase it, you would have to go your strength modifier times 5.

[00:21:53] So, alright.

[00:21:54] So it's a 30 to 60-foot range for the grenades.

[00:21:57] You can't throw them any closer.

[00:21:58] We're not throwing them or dropping them.

[00:22:00] If this is the plan, I'll have you all roll damage for it.

[00:22:04] Take off a spell slot for silence.

[00:22:06] I assume that's what it costs.

[00:22:08] A key point, thank you.

[00:22:10] Oh, sorry, whatever.

[00:22:11] No, no, no, no, you heard the man.

[00:22:13] You tick off your spell slot.

[00:22:15] Oh!

[00:22:15] You tick off your spell slot.

[00:22:17] Okay.

[00:22:18] Ooh, I'm ticking off my spell slot!

[00:22:22] What will I do without that spell slot as a monk?

[00:22:24] So you cast spells off key points?

[00:22:25] Yeah.

[00:22:26] Interesting.

[00:22:27] Alright, so you tick off your key point.

[00:22:28] Room is now silent.

[00:22:29] You guys can drop all four, roll damage, and we'll just calculate the damage.

[00:22:33] And I'll add it to everyone in the room.

[00:22:36] Rolling as a crit?

[00:22:38] I don't think we should do that.

[00:22:40] Alright.

[00:22:43] The room is silence.

[00:22:44] We have a much higher chance of just going in there and stabbing.

[00:22:49] For fun.

[00:22:50] That's why we're doing it.

[00:22:52] To have fun.

[00:22:52] I've been sitting on these grenades this entire session, basically, and they finally

[00:22:56] have a chance to use it.

[00:22:58] Yeah, but...

[00:22:59] And Flynn and Cody finally have a chance to use the grenades I've been sitting on this

[00:23:03] whole time.

[00:23:04] He has been very stingy with his grenades.

[00:23:06] You don't have to drop a grenade.

[00:23:07] What do you want to do?

[00:23:10] I just want to sit back and watch them have fun with it.

[00:23:13] And now I have to go make more grenades.

[00:23:16] If one lands too close to you, yell up at us, hey guys, that one was too close!

[00:23:20] And we won't throw the next one there.

[00:23:23] I'm just going to hang out back in the other room.

[00:23:25] So are we rolling as a crit?

[00:23:26] Yeah, that's Lucas.

[00:23:29] Uh...

[00:23:30] Yeah, it is a crit.

[00:23:31] I mean, you're not...

[00:23:33] He's right.

[00:23:33] You're not technically trying to throw it in a specific spot.

[00:23:36] You're just dropping it from above.

[00:23:37] Is that what it is in D6?

[00:23:39] Yeah.

[00:23:39] Sure.

[00:23:40] I D6.

[00:23:41] It should be double.

[00:23:42] Well, it's double for crit.

[00:23:43] It's a crit, it's double.

[00:23:44] Oh Jesus.

[00:23:45] Making this shit up now.

[00:23:55] He said he wanted out of this dungeon.

[00:23:57] This is a fast way out of this dungeon.

[00:24:02] I have my number.

[00:24:13] I did okay.

[00:24:14] Under par, but I did okay.

[00:24:15] I did pretty well.

[00:24:19] What's your total?

[00:24:20] I got 25.

[00:24:23] 41.

[00:24:24] Nice!

[00:24:27] I didn't throw mine.

[00:24:28] I'm sure they have enough.

[00:24:30] 22.

[00:24:30] Hold up on mine.

[00:24:31] Coward.

[00:24:33] They're all gonna be awake and pissed.

[00:24:37] And that's why I'm holding on to mine.

[00:24:39] What kind of grenades are they?

[00:24:40] They have fire damage.

[00:24:42] They're all fire resistant.

[00:24:43] That one would've made the fucking difference.

[00:24:44] No.

[00:24:45] They can't hear it, but they can feel that heat.

[00:24:48] And six of them actually stir awake while the others are all singed to nothing but ash.

[00:24:54] See?

[00:24:55] Ahem!

[00:24:57] You do see movement going.

[00:24:59] And they're, you know, you can't hear them, but they're probably likely coughing and trying

[00:25:03] to figure out what the hell's going on, talking to each other.

[00:25:06] It's very smoky, so they probably can't see you above.

[00:25:08] They're just gonna die asphyxiation.

[00:25:10] Oh my god.

[00:25:10] Drop your guide.

[00:25:11] Jump off the bridge.

[00:25:13] Yeah.

[00:25:14] I don't know how far the fall is, but yeah.

[00:25:16] It's about a 20 foot drive.

[00:25:17] How many more are alive?

[00:25:19] Did you say?

[00:25:20] Six.

[00:25:20] So you get the first 10 feet for free, so most is a D6.

[00:25:22] They would no longer be in like one confined space.

[00:25:25] Now we're playing some-

[00:25:25] Now you're talking about six people scattered around the room.

[00:25:28] Yeah.

[00:25:28] Fucking games!

[00:25:29] How many rages I got left?

[00:25:30] No.

[00:25:32] All of them.

[00:25:33] Yeah, I mean...

[00:25:34] I probably actually-

[00:25:36] No, we just rested.

[00:25:37] We did just rest.

[00:25:37] I'm trying to think if I've raged since then.

[00:25:39] I'm gonna look at my character sheet.

[00:25:41] Because I took a fuck ton of damage.

[00:25:42] I guess that means roll initiative now.

[00:25:44] I don't think you did because you grappled the-

[00:25:48] I did.

[00:25:48] A lot.

[00:25:50] Because I just ran in and grabbed him to try to prevent him from casting spells, didn't I?

[00:25:53] Yeah.

[00:25:54] Uh, I will absolutely rage and jump off the bridge.

[00:25:58] I jump on his shoulders.

[00:26:01] Meow.

[00:26:01] I ride him.

[00:26:03] There's one of two ways he could have done this.

[00:26:07] One of them is gonna be okay for us.

[00:26:10] The other one, this was probably a terrible idea.

[00:26:13] If he just counted it like sleep where he just did total hit die,

[00:26:17] when we killed half of them, that means he's half at full health.

[00:26:21] Ooh.

[00:26:22] Kind of depends on how he did math.

[00:26:24] That's the simple way to do it, which is what I'm guessing.

[00:26:26] I added up all of their, all of their hit points, subtracted what you did, divided it by the amount that there should have been there.

[00:26:33] And you ended up with six left alive.

[00:26:36] I don't feel like that is how that works.

[00:26:39] Like if you...

[00:26:41] The total hit points is like 192.

[00:26:43] You guys did, what was it, 60 something?

[00:26:45] But like if I cast fireball and I deal 20 damage, you don't each take 10.

[00:26:51] Right?

[00:26:51] Right.

[00:26:52] Yeah, I'm just trying to make you fight something.

[00:26:54] I don't want to.

[00:26:56] We did that so we didn't have to.

[00:26:57] So we don't get rewarded for being clever.

[00:26:59] That's fun.

[00:26:59] No, you were awarded.

[00:27:01] You killed half of them.

[00:27:02] Rage.

[00:27:03] Okay, I'm fine.

[00:27:05] And Flynn's mad at me for holding off on that last grenade.

[00:27:07] I am.

[00:27:08] I know you are.

[00:27:09] I know you are.

[00:27:12] I stand by what I chose.

[00:27:14] I put you all on the bridge.

[00:27:15] I knew that they all wouldn't have taken all that damage because the grenades would have

[00:27:18] hit in different ways.

[00:27:19] I get that.

[00:27:20] That's why I wanted to draw it out.

[00:27:21] And we were going to plot it so that it perfectly...

[00:27:24] Well, it started the draw.

[00:27:24] He said just drop grenades.

[00:27:25] Yeah, slag it.

[00:27:26] Grady, you doomed us.

[00:27:27] I thought we were dropping four.

[00:27:28] Roll initiative.

[00:27:30] Four would have done it.

[00:27:32] No, no, they don't know we're there.

[00:27:34] Flynn and I land like fucking silently.

[00:27:36] Oh yeah, we do.

[00:27:37] We land 100% silently.

[00:27:39] Sneak attack?

[00:27:40] That was your sneak attack.

[00:27:42] Oh.

[00:27:43] I mean, trust me.

[00:27:44] When they suddenly exploded awake, they don't have weapons.

[00:27:48] They're not wearing armor.

[00:27:49] It's silent.

[00:27:50] It's silent.

[00:27:51] And then we land like fucking Batman and Robin beside them in the smoke filled room.

[00:27:59] We are kind of embracing the inner hero here, aren't we?

[00:28:03] Let's do initiatives first.

[00:28:05] I want to be fucking Batman.

[00:28:07] Have you seen the Titans TV show when Robin shows up and just starts like fucking brutalizing

[00:28:11] guys?

[00:28:11] That's what's about to happen.

[00:28:12] And then this is where I roll the shit roll.

[00:28:15] Next time we get to a town, I'll make sure everybody has their own grenades so you guys

[00:28:19] don't have to complain later.

[00:28:21] I will still.

[00:28:23] I know you will, Flynn.

[00:28:25] I know.

[00:28:26] Cody, what's your niche?

[00:28:27] 16.

[00:28:28] You would have double digits.

[00:28:30] I know.

[00:28:32] Try.

[00:28:33] Well, I did your kind of math.

[00:28:34] That's how I got to 16.

[00:28:35] Flynn?

[00:28:36] 17.

[00:28:38] 18.

[00:28:38] Oh.

[00:28:40] I rolled a 19.

[00:28:42] Oh my God.

[00:28:44] This is going to be Vormai.

[00:28:50] Stop.

[00:28:54] Troy for the last time.

[00:28:55] That got picked up on the mics.

[00:28:57] Nice.

[00:28:57] Nice.

[00:28:58] See you right there.

[00:29:01] Um, at this point, the, I mean, on this turn, the Vormai have no idea what's going on.

[00:29:05] So.

[00:29:05] Yeah.

[00:29:06] No shit.

[00:29:06] Alex, it is your turn.

[00:29:08] I just put you guys all on the bridge.

[00:29:09] Uh, 20 feet above them.

[00:29:11] Where am I?

[00:29:12] Um, in this clutch.

[00:29:14] I don't know, are you silver or gold, whichever one?

[00:29:15] I can't remember which one I gave you.

[00:29:17] Wait, you put us on the bridge?

[00:29:18] I assume that's where you're throwing us.

[00:29:20] Yeah, yeah, no, but I mean, you put us in the room, so that's why I was confused.

[00:29:23] Yeah, you're on, you're on top of a bridge right here.

[00:29:25] Above the room?

[00:29:26] That's why you're in a line.

[00:29:26] You're at, you're 20 feet above them.

[00:29:28] I'm kind of confused where this room is now.

[00:29:30] Below you.

[00:29:31] I appreciate that.

[00:29:33] I think the bridge goes directly over the room, so they're half on one side, half on

[00:29:38] the other.

[00:29:38] Yeah.

[00:29:39] Thank you for the context.

[00:29:40] You're welcome.

[00:29:41] I appreciate that.

[00:29:41] Don't ask me how a 10 foot wide bridge is half over one half of a room and half over

[00:29:45] another, unless maybe they're at, they're perpendicular to each other, I guess.

[00:29:48] Mm-hmm.

[00:29:49] So you have like a 10 foot.

[00:29:51] The bridge bisects it.

[00:29:53] Right, but it, a rectangle has different sides, so it could bisect it on the long arms and

[00:29:58] the short arms.

[00:29:58] Well, that's just how it's drawn on the book.

[00:30:01] This is how the ledge goes this way.

[00:30:03] What would you like to do, Alex?

[00:30:06] Uh.

[00:30:07] I swear to God if he throws his grenade down, I'm gonna be real annoyed.

[00:30:10] Oh, I was supposed to throw this.

[00:30:11] No, no, no, no.

[00:30:12] He looks and he goes, oh shit, and drops it.

[00:30:16] Could be fun, but no.

[00:30:18] Through the pen, not the grenade.

[00:30:21] Uh.

[00:30:22] Worst grenade ever.

[00:30:26] I'm gonna guess I'm gold this evening.

[00:30:29] Troy, which color were you?

[00:30:31] I don't remember.

[00:30:32] Doesn't matter.

[00:30:33] Doesn't matter.

[00:30:34] Go with gold.

[00:30:34] You go.

[00:30:34] I'll be, I'll be gold tonight.

[00:30:36] Uh, I'm gonna use my bonus action to pin green with hunter's mark.

[00:30:40] Okay.

[00:30:41] And then I will fire on this bastard.

[00:30:46] Go for it.

[00:30:48] Does 19 hit?

[00:30:50] Yeah.

[00:30:51] Seven points of damage for that one.

[00:30:52] And then I'm gonna fire again.

[00:30:54] Okay.

[00:30:56] Okay.

[00:30:57] Oh.

[00:30:59] I'm guessing 12 doesn't hit.

[00:31:04] Does not.

[00:31:05] And that's my turn.

[00:31:06] I could argue for some more stuff, but Luke's has already given us quite a good already.

[00:31:09] So I feel that would be a little bit unfair.

[00:31:12] He's given us nothing.

[00:31:13] He's taken everything.

[00:31:14] It's your turn, Flick.

[00:31:15] He has taken our sense of reason and logic and several hours.

[00:31:18] So did initiative start when we were careening through the air?

[00:31:22] A beautiful duo?

[00:31:23] He put his back up.

[00:31:23] Ugh.

[00:31:24] Now you can jump on.

[00:31:25] You can delay your action if you want to be a beautiful duo or you can jump yourself.

[00:31:29] Can I delay my action to jump on his back?

[00:31:31] Sure.

[00:31:31] Your action is to jump on his back.

[00:31:33] No.

[00:31:34] No, I want my whole turn.

[00:31:40] It's a climb action.

[00:31:42] Fuck it.

[00:31:43] I jump in.

[00:31:44] On to or near where?

[00:31:46] Uh, scoot me over to the blue guy.

[00:31:50] Which blue?

[00:31:50] Uh, the dark blue.

[00:31:51] Teal.

[00:31:52] Yeah, teal.

[00:31:52] I will go teal.

[00:31:53] I will go teal.

[00:31:54] Light blue, dark blue, teal.

[00:31:56] Um, then I will give him the old business.

[00:31:58] Give him the business.

[00:32:00] Delay.

[00:32:00] You can delay to permanently change, I think.

[00:32:02] Or didn't, no, that was previous editions.

[00:32:04] 18?

[00:32:05] Yes.

[00:32:07] Go ahead and roll another.

[00:32:10] Ooh, that's only a 12.

[00:32:13] Very sad.

[00:32:14] Hate to say it.

[00:32:17] That is 12 damage.

[00:32:21] No shit.

[00:32:22] And then...

[00:32:23] Big hit.

[00:32:27] How's this guy looking?

[00:32:28] Is he singed?

[00:32:29] Is he, did he escape the...

[00:32:31] Yeah, he's got some burn marks for sure.

[00:32:32] Okay.

[00:32:33] Um...

[00:32:33] They're not at full health.

[00:32:34] Yeah.

[00:32:36] I'm getting the business again.

[00:32:39] Bonus action.

[00:32:40] Ugh.

[00:32:41] It's nat one.

[00:32:43] Bummer.

[00:32:43] Hate to see it.

[00:32:45] I don't mind it.

[00:32:47] Goody.

[00:32:49] My turn?

[00:32:50] Uh, rage.

[00:32:52] Done.

[00:32:53] I jump off the ledge.

[00:32:54] Two.

[00:32:57] Uh...

[00:32:58] You shot over there.

[00:32:59] He jumped over there.

[00:33:01] I'll jump into that pile of three.

[00:33:05] Is it a pile of three or four?

[00:33:06] It's four if you want in the middle.

[00:33:08] Ooh.

[00:33:08] Nice.

[00:33:10] I can't believe I'm surrounded.

[00:33:12] Green got hit.

[00:33:13] The other three, I mean they're burnt.

[00:33:15] They're a little burnt, but...

[00:33:16] Yeah.

[00:33:17] But I saw him hit green, so I'm gonna go ahead and hit green.

[00:33:23] Uh...

[00:33:26] Uh...

[00:33:26] Probably not a hit.

[00:33:28] That's a ten.

[00:33:29] That is a miss.

[00:33:30] Okay.

[00:33:31] You just got the one hit.

[00:33:33] You didn't allow me to rage and jump off.

[00:33:35] That's why I said I wanted to do that, so I don't get two attacks, because it's a bonus

[00:33:38] action, and I've already used it.

[00:33:40] Gotcha, gotcha.

[00:33:41] Uh, Troy?

[00:33:44] Strangely at the bottom of the order.

[00:33:47] I will go for the brown guy.

[00:33:51] Are you jumping on the bridge?

[00:33:53] Yes.

[00:33:53] Okay.

[00:33:54] Yeah.

[00:33:54] Yeah.

[00:33:55] I'm gonna put you between those two.

[00:33:57] Yeah.

[00:34:04] Uh...

[00:34:04] It's a 16...

[00:34:06] That was it?

[00:34:07] Okay.

[00:34:07] So, technically...

[00:34:08] I like to imagine that this is a little bit like Tim Burton's Batman, we just descend through

[00:34:12] the fucking smoke.

[00:34:13] Yeah.

[00:34:15] The one across the way is going...

[00:34:22] Um, for...

[00:34:23] I forget what I'm adding.

[00:34:27] For...

[00:34:28] Seven...

[00:34:28] No.

[00:34:29] 16 damage.

[00:34:31] Nice.

[00:34:31] He dropped.

[00:34:33] Get dead.

[00:34:34] Always.

[00:34:35] Uh, go for the pink one.

[00:34:37] That's a high roll.

[00:34:41] What's the total?

[00:34:42] 20.

[00:34:43] Yeah.

[00:34:43] It's a shit damage, though.

[00:34:45] Huh?

[00:34:45] That one?

[00:34:46] Yeah, it's one.

[00:34:46] Yeah.

[00:34:47] Uh, for seven damage.

[00:34:49] It's pink.

[00:34:50] Okay.

[00:34:53] Cool.

[00:34:54] Those remaining...

[00:34:55] How does a fish guy jump off a bridge?

[00:34:59] He dives.

[00:35:00] With two feet?

[00:35:01] Yeah.

[00:35:02] Okay.

[00:35:02] Scaries.

[00:35:03] Can you look...

[00:35:04] How's anybody drawing a bridge?

[00:35:05] Like fish men.

[00:35:07] I don't know, I was hoping that like there was a...

[00:35:09] I don't know, maybe you did a little flipper, uh, cry and...

[00:35:14] Articulate and gyrate through the air.

[00:35:18] Salmon spawn kind of thing.

[00:35:20] No, we did not do that.

[00:35:22] Teal will attack the cat.

[00:35:24] Two claws.

[00:35:25] It's a nat one on the first hit.

[00:35:29] Uh, I don't know if that would hit you.

[00:35:30] Probably not.

[00:35:32] I would presume not.

[00:35:34] That is a...

[00:35:35] 19 to hit.

[00:35:37] It hits me.

[00:35:39] All right.

[00:35:42] Um...

[00:35:42] 56.

[00:35:45] Shit damage.

[00:35:49] Four slashing.

[00:35:51] Okay.

[00:35:53] Um...

[00:35:54] Um...

[00:35:55] Light blue will walk up behind the cat.

[00:36:02] Single digit on that one.

[00:36:05] Leaving a lower one, so light blue misses.

[00:36:08] Pink will swing on fish man.

[00:36:14] That is an 18 to hit.

[00:36:16] Nope.

[00:36:18] Mm-hmm.

[00:36:20] Mm-hmm.

[00:36:21] And another miss.

[00:36:24] Uh...

[00:36:25] Regular blue will attack the ghoul.

[00:36:29] No!

[00:36:29] 14 misses, I'm assuming?

[00:36:31] Uh, I'm pretty sure.

[00:36:33] No, you're raging, not reckless attacking, right?

[00:36:37] Uh, correct.

[00:36:39] 14.

[00:36:40] 14 miss?

[00:36:42] Yes.

[00:36:42] Okay.

[00:36:43] Second attack.

[00:36:45] Is that another net one?

[00:36:47] Uh, yeah, sure it is.

[00:36:50] Uh, green.

[00:36:51] Poops his pants.

[00:36:53] Green will attack the ghoul.

[00:36:55] Negative.

[00:36:56] Missed that one.

[00:36:59] Two twos.

[00:37:00] Fuck that die.

[00:37:00] Back to the, uh, next person, which I believe was, uh...

[00:37:06] Alex.

[00:37:06] Yo.

[00:37:09] Uh...

[00:37:09] Fire on green again.

[00:37:11] Go for it.

[00:37:12] Go Tim!

[00:37:15] 22.

[00:37:16] Definitely hits.

[00:37:19] There's 12.

[00:37:24] For 12 damage.

[00:37:26] Dirty!

[00:37:26] And since it still has the, uh, hunter's mark on it...

[00:37:29] He's super dead.

[00:37:30] Oh.

[00:37:30] Well then, as my bonus action, I shift it over to...

[00:37:37] Light blue.

[00:37:38] Light blue.

[00:37:40] Fire at that one.

[00:37:41] Okay.

[00:37:44] Okay.

[00:37:45] No.

[00:37:45] Nope.

[00:37:46] Not on a single digit there, bud.

[00:37:48] Not at all.

[00:37:49] All right.

[00:37:51] We attacking...

[00:37:52] Teal!

[00:37:53] Okay.

[00:37:54] Green's dead.

[00:37:55] Oh, sorry.

[00:37:56] Yep, just making sure you're keeping track of that.

[00:37:58] He's a rabbit.

[00:37:58] He gets back up again.

[00:38:00] 24.

[00:38:01] Yes.

[00:38:01] Yeah!

[00:38:03] Eight damage.

[00:38:07] He drops.

[00:38:08] All right.

[00:38:09] Turn on light blue.

[00:38:12] Get into business.

[00:38:14] Oh, baby.

[00:38:15] 28.

[00:38:16] Yep.

[00:38:19] Nine damage.

[00:38:21] Still up.

[00:38:22] Get into business again.

[00:38:24] Do they have natural armor?

[00:38:26] Yeah.

[00:38:26] Okay.

[00:38:27] Just curious.

[00:38:30] 24.

[00:38:31] Yep.

[00:38:32] Business.

[00:38:34] Low business.

[00:38:35] Seven.

[00:38:36] Seven damage.

[00:38:37] Business is almost closed.

[00:38:39] Coffee pots are on a real low.

[00:38:40] Because they're all burnt up, that is enough to kill them.

[00:38:43] They have no business anyway.

[00:38:44] Yep.

[00:38:45] All right.

[00:38:47] Uh...

[00:38:47] Cody.

[00:38:48] Now I will recklessly attack the blue one.

[00:38:50] Do it.

[00:38:56] That's uh...

[00:39:00] 18 to hit?

[00:39:03] Uh, yeah, hang on a second.

[00:39:04] I failed to do something earlier.

[00:39:06] I did hit you earlier, right?

[00:39:07] Mm-hmm.

[00:39:08] Science is concentration?

[00:39:10] It is.

[00:39:11] Yeah, so you should have rolled for concentration on that.

[00:39:13] Sorry.

[00:39:18] 13.

[00:39:19] Okay.

[00:39:19] So it's still sound.

[00:39:20] Sorry, go ahead.

[00:39:21] 18.

[00:39:22] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:39:28] Uh, nine damage.

[00:39:29] Mm-hmm.

[00:39:30] Still standing.

[00:39:32] Swing on him again.

[00:39:35] Whoa.

[00:39:37] That's like a 14 to hit.

[00:39:39] It still hits.

[00:39:40] Oh.

[00:39:40] Alrighty.

[00:39:40] I will take it.

[00:39:42] That's another eight damage.

[00:39:43] It dies.

[00:39:44] No, you're fine.

[00:39:45] Uh, Troy.

[00:39:47] Yes.

[00:39:48] Let's see if you can take out the last one.

[00:39:51] Sure.

[00:39:56] The higher roll than that.

[00:39:58] Shut your fucking mouth.

[00:39:59] Maybe that's 16.

[00:40:00] It does.

[00:40:01] Yeah.

[00:40:02] What is your plus?

[00:40:03] Eight.

[00:40:04] Jesus Christ.

[00:40:06] Four strength, three proficiency, plus one for the magical weapon.

[00:40:11] God damn it.

[00:40:13] Six damage.

[00:40:14] That's enough.

[00:40:15] You already hit him once.

[00:40:19] And the room go...

[00:40:21] Continues to go silent.

[00:40:24] I fart because no one can hear it.

[00:40:26] You all smell cat fart.

[00:40:28] Ha!

[00:40:29] Very easy to pick out.

[00:40:31] I punt the cat.

[00:40:31] You're like,

[00:40:32] Man, these bodies really reek when they die.

[00:40:35] Weird.

[00:40:36] It's that burning hair and you know.

[00:40:38] So they say in the sentence, no, no, no.

[00:40:39] You know he's not dead.

[00:40:40] He could not be dead yet.

[00:40:41] He hasn't shit himself yet.

[00:40:44] Uh, you will find on one of them a small key that would fit that door.

[00:40:47] Ha!

[00:40:47] Thank God it didn't get vaporized.

[00:40:50] Otherwise they don't have anything on them.

[00:40:51] They're just claw attacking.

[00:40:53] They have no weapons.

[00:40:57] Walk down the stairs instead of jumping off the bridge and grab that key.

[00:41:01] How big is this door?

[00:41:03] This is a standard size, like...

[00:41:05] Door size.

[00:41:06] Door.

[00:41:07] Like other doors, like I said, have been tall and thick wood.

[00:41:10] This is just like...

[00:41:12] Normal door.

[00:41:13] He said thick wood.

[00:41:16] Like it's clearly meant to blend in.

[00:41:19] And it is like...

[00:41:20] It's painted gray.

[00:41:21] Like it looks like rock, but you can tell that it's a wooden door.

[00:41:24] Because of your perception check.

[00:41:26] They consider it a secret door.

[00:41:28] But you hit the perception.

[00:41:30] Nothing else on these fools?

[00:41:32] No, these guys had nothing on them.

[00:41:33] They were claw claw.

[00:41:34] No armor.

[00:41:37] Now they're all dead.

[00:41:40] What else?

[00:41:43] Someone with opposable thumbs want to unlock the door.

[00:41:45] I'll unlock the secret door that we know.

[00:41:49] Are you keeping silence on?

[00:41:52] Yes.

[00:41:53] Just asking.

[00:41:56] I thought it would be great as if there was something behind that door that now we can't hear.

[00:42:03] Just thought I'd ask.

[00:42:06] Continuing with the Acme theme, like you open a little door and a fucking train comes out.

[00:42:12] You see a bright white light.

[00:42:14] What?

[00:42:17] The players hear a...

[00:42:19] Nope.

[00:42:20] You see a bright white light.

[00:42:23] What?

[00:42:24] I slowly open the door and take a look inside.

[00:42:28] This is what they call the lower canyon.

[00:42:31] Didn't you see this already?

[00:42:35] Two natural stone bridges arc over the section of the lower canyon.

[00:42:39] An archway flanked by bas-relief pillars.

[00:42:42] Empty and black in the eastern wall.

[00:42:46] That is the description you get.

[00:42:48] We've seen the other end of this, haven't we?

[00:42:51] Uh...

[00:42:52] You look around and you're kind of like,

[00:42:54] oh, I think I stood up there at one point and maybe up there at one point.

[00:42:57] So yeah, you've kind of seen it, but you've never been down here.

[00:43:01] Uh...

[00:43:01] Something ceremonial, something decorative, something protected, just deeper into a labyrinth of...

[00:43:14] Um...

[00:43:15] So when you step out through this, again, they call it a secret door.

[00:43:18] Um...

[00:43:19] It's actually harder to see from the other side.

[00:43:22] Um...

[00:43:24] So to your left, it sort of goes up to a wide cliff face that goes about 20 to 30 feet up,

[00:43:31] that you could have climbed up, or could have climbed down at one point.

[00:43:36] Um...

[00:43:36] To your right, it seems to arc around a big stone wall, so you're not really sure what's over there.

[00:43:42] You do see a little up to your right, um...

[00:43:46] About a five-foot hole that a giant boulder is sticking in.

[00:43:51] So you know what that trap would have been.

[00:43:54] Um...

[00:43:55] And then to your immediate right, which would be more south,

[00:44:00] um...

[00:44:00] It does seem to continue on further somewhere south.

[00:44:04] You're unsure where.

[00:44:06] Let's find out. We go south!

[00:44:10] Uh...

[00:44:10] You all take a step out here.

[00:44:12] And die.

[00:44:13] And, um...

[00:44:14] You hear a shriek.

[00:44:17] And a whoosh, whoosh sound of wings.

[00:44:21] Back into the silence!

[00:44:23] Yeah.

[00:44:25] And, uh, hovering above you, you see, um...

[00:44:28] A sort of dragon-like creature with a vorm-eye shaman sitting on its back.

[00:44:33] Uh-oh!

[00:44:34] Get back in the room!

[00:44:37] Um...

[00:44:38] It does speak Aklo, so some of you might understand what it says.

[00:44:41] Meow.

[00:44:41] A couple of you understand what it says.

[00:44:44] Um...

[00:44:45] Something to the effect of, you know...

[00:44:58] Your time here has not gone unnoticed.

[00:45:00] And, uh...
