00:00:00Argyle:Oh, hello.

00:00:00Benny:why didn't it record it you were in here

00:00:03Argyle:That was quiet for long enough.

00:00:03Benny:oh wait oh okay left i thought you meant like if you join and you don't say anything

00:00:14Benny:it somehow knows if there's audio coming through and i was like wait wait wait wait wait wait

00:00:19Benny:what the fuck but wait wait wait wait

00:00:21Argyle:Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:00:23Benny:I love how that's like an absolutely generational

00:00:29Benny:meme

00:00:30Argyle:Yeah.

00:00:30Benny:one of the funniest fucking

00:00:33Benny:no no no

00:00:34Benny:and it's definitely because of the context

00:00:35Argyle:Yeah.

00:00:37Argyle:Yeah.

00:00:39Benny:that it's used

00:00:40Benny:but shit like

00:00:42Argyle:Did you see that show?

00:00:43Benny:no

00:00:45Benny:more interesting now after seeing

00:00:46Argyle:Oh, it's actually pretty good.

00:00:52Benny:what's it called?

00:00:54Benny:The new Spider-Man, but not in like a way

00:00:55Argyle:Hmm.

00:00:56Benny:where it's like, oh, this guy's funny. I bet he's funny

00:00:58Benny:in the show, but more of like, oh,

00:01:00Argyle:the original two seasons is really good

00:01:00Benny:Jon Bernthal will actually play this character

00:01:02Benny:well, and the show probably gets

00:01:04Benny:more interesting than what they have him do.

00:01:07Argyle:I haven't seen the new ones

00:01:09Benny:They go off the rail?

00:01:09Argyle:I haven't seen them

00:01:11Argyle:but I know the original ones are really good

00:01:11Benny:I don't know.

00:01:13Argyle:because it was pre-Disney

00:01:15Argyle:did you ever see the Disney Daredevil

00:01:19Benny:Oh!

00:01:20Benny:That makes a lot of sense.

00:01:22Benny:no

00:01:25Argyle:pre-Disney Daredevil on Netflix

00:01:28Benny:no

00:01:29Argyle:so i thought um but um i thought the uh the non-disney daredevil first season was pretty

00:01:31Benny:I watched the original Daredevil movie

00:01:42Argyle:good the second season was kind of bad but it was also where they introduced the punisher

00:01:46Argyle:and i remember seeing a like a viral uh reddit comment i was like this is a terrible daredevil season one Great No season two Great Punisher season one And then he was such a runoff character they gave him his own show and it was

00:01:52Benny:Sorry funny I love old internet comments like that

00:02:11Argyle:Yeah, it's really good.

00:02:15Benny:like there's people that screenshot

00:02:17Benny:hacker news like when a new

00:02:19Benny:revolutionary technology was

00:02:20Benny:like just first coming out and it got

00:02:21Argyle:Yeah.

00:02:23Benny:published like

00:02:24Benny:the Dropbox one.

00:02:25Argyle:yeah

00:02:26Benny:It's just like, oh, wait, they're like host files

00:02:28Benny:and store them online. It's just like,

00:02:30Benny:what the fuck is the point of this?

00:02:31Argyle:yeah

00:02:32Benny:It's so easy for someone to

00:02:34Benny:blah, blah, blah, network NAS, blah,

00:02:36Benny:blah, blah. It's like, holy

00:02:38Argyle:yeah

00:02:38Benny:fuck, dude.

00:02:39Benny:It's like that, do you know that one

00:02:42Benny:XKCD? And it's just like,

00:02:44Benny:we're so deep into geology

00:02:46Benny:that we tend to forget what the layman

00:02:49Benny:know. They probably only know

00:02:51Benny:about

00:02:51Benny:like sedimentary rock.

00:02:55Argyle:the new character is pretty fun on Marvel

00:02:55Benny:Oh, and of course, igneous.

00:02:55Benny:Yes, yes, igneous.

00:02:59Benny:It's like literally that.

00:03:05Argyle:I just started playing him

00:03:07Argyle:gore

00:03:07Benny:What's, what is it?

00:03:10Argyle:the god butcher

00:03:11Benny:Oh, right, right, right, right, right.

00:03:12Argyle:but they actually made him good

00:03:14Argyle:unlike the

00:03:15Argyle:movie apparently

00:03:18Argyle:alright so I'm not gonna

00:03:18Benny:Ooh.

00:03:21Argyle:that's enough

00:03:21Benny:Not yet

00:03:21Argyle:I'll exit out

00:03:25Argyle:Did you see the left build that I showed?

00:03:32Benny:I like got home and then opened discord

00:03:34Benny:I'm making a sandwich right now

00:03:38Benny:But

00:03:42Argyle:The sad part is we'll never get as high modifiers as we did in that game.

00:03:42Benny:Oh because of the APB

00:03:48Benny:What

00:03:49Argyle:Yeah, Josh being careful.

00:03:50Benny:Josh took away our APD dude

00:03:53Benny:what the fuck

00:03:54Benny:how will we specialize now I want a plus three to something random when I level 20

00:03:55Argyle:Yeah I had like he was stupid

00:04:06Argyle:he was like a

00:04:12Argyle:a

00:04:13Argyle:oh

00:04:15Benny:You just cut out a good amount.

00:04:18Benny:Just an FYI.

00:04:18Argyle:how about now

00:04:19Benny:You're probably

00:04:19Benny:hearable now.

00:04:22Benny:yeah i think you're good now

00:04:25Argyle:Okay, but yeah, it was just like an outrageous amount of modifier.

00:04:36Benny:yeah

00:04:36Benny:yeah i just kind of want uh a bit of a challenge in optimization

00:04:41Benny:so i'm like what's the hardest class to play because i was looking at uh making either a

00:04:51Benny:pistol or throwable thaumaturge, and people

00:04:53Benny:are like, throwable builds are not viable,

00:04:55Argyle:Well, you can make a...

00:04:55Benny:or at least they're not optimal. And I'm like,

00:04:57Benny:hmm. Hmm.

00:04:59Benny:I wonder if I can make an optimal thrower.

00:05:00Argyle:You can make an optimal thrower if you make an alchemist.

00:05:07Benny:Um.

00:05:09Benny:Really?

00:05:10Argyle:Yeah, the bombers aren't bad.

00:05:15Benny:Hmm.

00:05:18Benny:I'm thinking more like

00:05:20Argyle:Okay.

00:05:21Benny:Yeah, I guess throwing bombs.

00:05:23Benny:I was thinking, like, someone throwing knives or fucking shurikens or something.

00:05:25Argyle:Uh.

00:05:29Benny:There's an exemplar item that gives you, like, an infinite sheath of weapons.

00:05:32Argyle:Uh.

00:05:34Benny:But I think a lot of people are like, yeah, I mean, the bonus damage to the weapon that comes out is nice.

00:05:39Benny:But it's probably not...

00:05:41Benny:It's not any better than just having, like, a returning rune on an item.

00:05:41Argyle:Is it?

00:05:47Benny:But I guess...

00:05:48Benny:but I also

00:05:48Benny:because the returning

00:05:49Benny:rune has better

00:05:51Benny:action economy.

00:05:53Benny:I'm like,

00:05:54Benny:fuck,

00:05:54Benny:that's probably

00:05:54Benny:probably a good point Oh you are lagging very badly I didn get any of that

00:06:07Benny:Maybe I'm lagging.

00:06:08Benny:I don't know.

00:08:00Benny:Oh.

00:09:30Argyle:I've got to bargain.

00:09:30Benny:hello

00:09:37Benny:oh i'm not sure how much better it is but maybe

00:09:40Argyle:Really?

00:09:44Benny:it's better now maybe

00:09:50Benny:the first one was uh

00:09:57Benny:the fuck bro The first one was uh not great but it good now

00:10:00Argyle:Thank you hopefully

00:10:06Benny:probably

00:10:10Argyle:interest is going up it's kind of crazy

00:10:13Benny:of course

00:10:13Benny:of course

00:10:14Benny:oh yeah they have to hike because of the fucking

00:10:20Benny:inflation or whatever yeah that

00:10:23Benny:is uh

00:10:25Argyle:Yeah.

00:10:25Benny:that's kind of obscene it's a bit crazy

00:10:30Argyle:Yeah.

00:10:30Benny:oh well what are you gonna do you know

00:10:36Argyle:I mean, it makes our high yield savings accounts return.

00:10:42Benny:yeah that was uh one thing i was uh looking at

00:10:55Argyle:You don't have it in the market?

00:10:55Benny:it was uh moving i don't know i'm sitting on too much cash and i'm just like well i don't

00:11:06Benny:want to put it in here

00:11:07Benny:interest because it's like the

00:11:09Benny:yield and then fucking

00:11:11Benny:I'm like but I put in the market

00:11:14Benny:I'm like today I'm like

00:11:14Benny:I have a good amount

00:11:15Argyle:Come on, Mike.

00:11:17Argyle:Come on, Mike.

00:11:25Argyle:Bailey and I used to have like 80% of our portfolio

00:11:28Argyle:just through

00:11:29Argyle:the we pulled out some of it

00:11:34Argyle:honestly about 50 to 60% of it for the house

00:11:36Benny:I think especially in on Long Island how much is like permitting and shit

00:11:39Argyle:because we have to we put 10% down

00:11:43Argyle:but we need the other 10% for clothes in April

00:11:47Argyle:and then now we're building a pool which is fucking expensive

00:11:51Argyle:dude it so stupid how much pools cost nowadays dude it so stupid how much pools cost nowadays Dude it so stupid

00:12:05Argyle:It's like retarded

00:12:07Argyle:how expensive pools are.

00:12:10Benny:oh okay

00:12:11Argyle:Permitting is only like a few

00:12:13Argyle:grand.

00:12:15Benny:but what the actual pool is like

00:12:17Benny:what is it like 50 to 100 or something

00:12:23Benny:it's more than

00:12:23Argyle:I almost

00:12:24Argyle:try double

00:12:24Benny:Double?

00:12:25Argyle:yeah

00:12:27Benny:Jesus Christ.

00:12:28Argyle:it's fucking ridiculous

00:12:29Argyle:you know what's the crazy thing is we're just doing

00:12:32Argyle:like a rectangle a 15

00:12:34Argyle:15 by

00:12:36Argyle:32

00:12:37Argyle:8 feet deep and they like

00:12:40Argyle:yeah

00:12:42Argyle:it's fucking crazy and we're doing a

00:12:44Argyle:gunite which is more expensive than

00:12:46Argyle:uh

00:12:47Argyle:vinyl but still

00:12:54Argyle:What's funny is when I was even asking Gemini and Claude,

00:12:54Benny:Okay.

00:12:56Argyle:they were like, that's actually a pretty good deal.

00:12:58Argyle:Like, what?

00:13:01Argyle:Crazy.

00:13:04Argyle:Granted, like 30-ish of that is going to be,

00:13:07Argyle:or 20 to 30 is going to be an electric pool cover.

00:13:12Argyle:But it comes out to like 150, 180, around there.

00:13:18Argyle:Crazy.

00:13:18Argyle:Yeah.

00:13:24Argyle:it's insane

00:13:24Benny:half of it is labor

00:13:28Argyle:um a good amounts labor but also like it's just concrete they need to they need to uh

00:13:40Argyle:uh excavate it they need to put rebarb but like the other problem is just that like

00:13:47Argyle:i mean there's a big issue with just houses in general where it's just like

00:13:49Argyle:there's not enough laborers that are

00:13:53Argyle:American

00:13:53Argyle:because like low you kind of need an American to run it and at least a few because like you don want so my parents do a lot of work through a family friend basically his family

00:14:08Argyle:friend now his name is jimmy he's uh guatemalan and most of their houses and stuff like that

00:14:13Argyle:it's just like he does shit work like yeah it's cheaper but it's just shit work and like

00:14:20Argyle:since there's less people in blue collar trades now they can kind of just do this

00:14:25Argyle:because also just like even getting this pool done is taking so much work from the builder

00:14:30Argyle:because the builder subcontracts it out and like i i think they just like weren't showing up and

00:14:36Benny:I

00:14:38Argyle:then like he's been like harassing them he had to meet with the owner of the company and all this

00:14:42Argyle:and it's just like yeah that's just in line with just what it is nowadays it's just so fucking

00:14:49Argyle:hard to get anyone to do jobs.

00:14:55Benny:that's fucking actually really crazy i mean it makes sense i mean i know a bunch of people

00:14:59Argyle:Yeah.

00:15:01Benny:point like don't even get a new build try like not like i guess this is more like apartments

00:15:06Benny:but like don't get a new build because they've done x y and z to it or um i mean i don't know

00:15:07Argyle:Yeah.

00:15:14Benny:these old houses with these old ass uh wooden floors that are like absolutely fucking gorgeous

00:15:19Argyle:yeah

00:15:21Benny:especially by today's standards, because we all have

00:15:23Benny:the ludicrous

00:15:25Benny:fast-grow lumber.

00:15:27Benny:The old shit has very tight rings.

00:15:27Argyle:yeah

00:15:29Benny:These are fucking blown out, because

00:15:30Benny:they're essentially GMO wood.

00:15:33Benny:That's pretty much what it is.

00:15:34Argyle:but it's like

00:15:37Argyle:yeah and then there's just like

00:15:39Argyle:there's enough plumbers there's enough

00:15:41Argyle:electricians carpenters all that

00:15:43Argyle:they really

00:15:45Argyle:they really fucked America with the

00:15:47Argyle:is it the APTA or the

00:15:49Argyle:universal trade act

00:15:51Argyle:and then the

00:15:52Argyle:that Clinton did and then

00:15:55Argyle:the telling everyone to

00:15:56Argyle:go to college

00:16:00Argyle:we still like i i think it's that one but also don't forget the universal thing like we stopped

00:16:00Benny:I think I fucked up with the college thing.

00:16:07Argyle:producing shit here like minimum wage jobs used to be you work at mcdonald's while you're like

00:16:14Argyle:in school it was never supposed to be a career like you could go and if you weren't that like

00:16:19Argyle:high functioning you could go work in a factory you can do things like that there were jobs to do

00:16:26Argyle:there's

00:16:28Argyle:and like it's also part of the I've been saying this for years but like another part of that is

00:16:34Argyle:just like we don't know how to produce things we lost a bunch of labor like uh jobs that we could

00:16:40Argyle:could have and then now it's impossible to bring back because like global labor doesn't work

00:16:48Argyle:because not every country has the same standards of human rights

00:16:53Argyle:like there's no way you can compete with

00:16:57Argyle:building shoes here versus child labor

00:17:00Benny:it's a very weird asymmetry because like i don't know on on some for for some of the places it's

00:17:00Argyle:that's just never gonna compete

00:17:12Benny:not like it's abuse of labor it's like the lesser of two evils like if they weren't making shoes

00:17:17Benny:what else would they be doing and it's like probably a harder job if any like um that was

00:17:23Benny:like a big theme with um apple and foxconn is foxconn getting the contracts for apple right i

00:17:23Argyle:yeah

00:17:29Benny:mean they have the people trying to kill themselves and whatnot but it's essentially trained up like

00:17:32Argyle:but like

00:17:33Benny:people in in china and in that area of china to be like some of the only people that can put together

00:17:40Benny:like like advanced phones which is like the universal device so now like you can't move

00:17:47Benny:that many factories to india that quickly because you have to train up a populace like foxconn did

00:17:52Benny:and in doing so foxconn could have brought like significant prosperity to there i don know what their policies are now I not going to advocate for Foxconn but yeah

00:17:53Argyle:But like the problem is like We can even Like Apple can even train in India because they need

00:18:00Johnny:you What crazy

00:18:06Argyle:They need the Chinese to do it because they're the only ones who know how to do it anymore.

00:18:10Argyle:Like, we don't even know how to do injection molding.

00:18:12Argyle:That almost, like...

00:18:12Argyle:It's crazy.

00:18:14Argyle:It is crazy.

00:18:18Benny:offshoring

00:18:18Johnny:What did I miss?

00:18:22Argyle:No, I was just bitching about how...

00:18:25Argyle:Yeah, Clinton's Universal Trade Act really fucked the US, and then that plus telling everyone to go to college.

00:18:25Benny:Yeah.

00:18:25Johnny:You want to go $30,000 into debt to get a degree you're not going to use?

00:18:41Johnny:It's going to help the economy.

00:18:41Argyle:No, it's like 100K a year now.

00:18:44Argyle:no but like and then we can't have universal factories across the world it doesn't work

00:18:47Johnny:Hey, man, it's going to help the economy, I swear.

00:18:55Benny:Yes.

00:18:55Johnny:Yeah, because labor rights laws aren't the same.

00:18:55Argyle:other countries don't have the same standards of worker rights like there's no way you can produce

00:18:56Benny:Okay.

00:19:02Benny:No.

00:19:03Argyle:shoes in america at all comparable in cost to shoes in like china it's just never gonna work

00:19:04Benny:Okay.

00:19:06Benny:Okay.

00:19:10Benny:Done.

00:19:11Argyle:and it was foolish yeah it's foolish and then like we got rid of factory work which is like

00:19:12Benny:Okay.

00:19:18Argyle:i don't know that used to be a lot of americans works like it was that's why there's a lot of

00:19:23Benny:Let's see.

00:19:24Argyle:people i think that are like career minimum wage jobs which is sad but it's like yeah they could

00:19:25Benny:I thought it was financial services.

00:19:25Johnny:I mean, the biggest thing America exports is entertainment.

00:19:31Argyle:have done other things yeah culture culture and military

00:19:35Johnny:That's America's thing.

00:19:39Argyle:okay we export a lot we actually export

00:19:39Johnny:But now...

00:19:40Johnny:No, but I think it might have changed.

00:19:41Benny:Pharmaceuticals.

00:19:45Argyle:tech media military pharmaceuticals

00:19:49Benny:Blood.

00:19:50Benny:well we don sell that shit

00:19:51Johnny:This information might be outdated,

00:19:52Johnny:but at least a few years ago, it was entertainment.

00:19:53Argyle:humanitarian

00:19:54Argyle:I surprised it not military Do you remember when the EU was trying to get into a trade War with us

00:19:54Johnny:Was entertainment and media that was like our biggest export It might changed hang on

00:20:08Argyle:So they tariffed peanuts and Harleys.

00:20:11Argyle:And it's like, wow, you're going to get us.

00:20:14Johnny:No one else likes peanuts.

00:20:15Johnny:You go anywhere else in the world

00:20:15Argyle:The other...

00:20:16Argyle:Yeah, the other big thing, too, is that China depends on the US for food.

00:20:17Johnny:and they don't like peanuts.

00:20:23Argyle:We produce a lot of food for them.

00:20:24Argyle:like soy and stuff like that.

00:20:25Benny:Hello.

00:20:25Johnny:I thought trying to stop buying soybeans from us

00:20:25Anzu:Gentlemen

00:20:25Gamemaster:What's up?

00:20:29Johnny:is buying them from South America now.

00:20:31Argyle:Good luck.

00:20:32Argyle:That was more of like a trading tactic.

00:20:37Argyle:Hello.

00:20:38Argyle:Hello.

00:20:38Johnny:Josh, are you alive?

00:20:40Gamemaster:Hmm?

00:20:40Argyle:So it's minerals, oil, machinery, aerospace, military,

00:20:41Gamemaster:are we talking about cool minecraft mods what's going on

00:20:49Argyle:pharmaceuticals.

00:20:50Johnny:Oh, my information is so out of date.

00:20:52Johnny:I got to get it.

00:20:53Argyle:Agriculture.

00:20:54Argyle:We do export a lot of blood.

00:20:55Benny:Does blood even register there?

00:20:55Johnny:Talk about America's biggest...

00:20:56Gamemaster:what

00:20:58Johnny:Yeah.

00:21:01Gamemaster:for for the like for transylvania

00:21:02Benny:You know we export blood to the EU?

00:21:09Argyle:No, like, Americans are one of the few people that will actually donate blood.

00:21:10Benny:No.

00:21:11Benny:Well, probably.

00:21:13Johnny:Five guys.

00:21:14Johnny:There's like five guys who are just chugging so much blood.

00:21:15Benny:Yeah, you can't get...

00:21:17Benny:Why is Transylvania...

00:21:21Benny:Oh, they're looking at the import-export sheet.

00:21:24Argyle:I don't

00:21:25Benny:Why are they all...

00:21:25Johnny:I think

00:21:25Anzu:Well, you could do that as well.

00:21:26Benny:No, because you can't get paid to

00:21:29Benny:donate blood in many parts of the EU.

00:21:31Benny:And you can in the US.

00:21:33Benny:So we give them blood.

00:21:34Argyle:I don't think you can get paid for blood

00:21:36Argyle:you can get paid for plasma right

00:21:37Argyle:can you get paid for blood

00:21:38Argyle:yeah I don't think they're allowed to let you sell blood

00:21:40Benny:What's the difference?

00:21:41Johnny:yeah

00:21:41Gamemaster:If you can, I've been getting ripped off.

00:21:45Argyle:but you're allowed to sell plasma

00:21:46Argyle:which is what people have been doing

00:21:47Gamemaster:Which is...

00:21:48Benny:Like a TV?

00:21:49Gamemaster:Yeah.

00:21:50Gamemaster:Yes, like a TV. People sell

00:21:53Gamemaster:plasma TVs.

00:21:54Anzu:Yeah.

00:21:54Argyle:you you are

00:21:55Benny:Oh yeah okay US blood exports

00:21:55Johnny:One time in college I was a little bit One time in college I needed some money And I was like oh I was in a bad place and I was like oh I donate sperm So I tried to sign up and they said I was too short

00:21:55Anzu:Thank you Oh

00:21:55Gamemaster:I'm so sorry.

00:22:06Anzu:Oh.

00:22:08Benny:Oh, fuck, man.

00:22:08Anzu:That feels like not a good reason.

00:22:09Argyle:I mean it's

00:22:12Argyle:the donors they probably want to be like

00:22:14Johnny:They were like, sorry.

00:22:15Argyle:6'5 and blue eyes and

00:22:16Anzu:That's crazy.

00:22:17Johnny:That was the...

00:22:17Argyle:Ivy Leagues and

00:22:18Benny:Okay.

00:22:18Johnny:They were like, we only accept donations

00:22:18Anzu:You're.

00:22:18Anzu:but you're a catch I don't understand

00:22:19Argyle:Well it's a good thing it didn't go through

00:22:20Johnny:from people over six feet.

00:22:21Johnny:I was like, okay.

00:22:25Benny:What if they didn't tell you and the shelf to put your sample is just really high?

00:22:25Johnny:yeah looking back on it i'm so glad they didn't accept me

00:22:25Gamemaster:Dumb.

00:22:26Anzu:you must be able to put your sample on this shelf to participate

00:22:29Argyle:Okay

00:22:41Benny:Hey, can someone...

00:22:43Benny:Hey, can someone...

00:22:43Benny:No, don't...

00:22:44Benny:A tall guy gets up from it like a frequent donor gets up from the crossroads.

00:22:46Johnny:i'm so dumb

00:22:47Johnny:yeah they didn't couldn't they look into the future didn't they know

00:22:48Benny:Don't help him.

00:22:48Benny:Don't help him.

00:22:48Anzu:You know, I'm sure they knew if you were a fantasy author, they would have reconsidered.

00:22:49Argyle:you might have actually rejected you if they knew you're a cs and fantasy author

00:22:55Benny:Yeah, the U.S. supplies 70% of the world's plasma.

00:22:59Anzu:...

00:23:01Anzu:...

00:23:03Anzu:...

00:23:05Anzu:...

00:23:07Anzu:...

00:23:09Anzu:...

00:23:11Anzu:...

00:23:12Johnny:i got a lot going for me it's it's not really athletics i still can't catch a football

00:23:16Johnny:but

00:23:17Johnny:also I was incorrect

00:23:18Anzu:That is fascinating.

00:23:19Argyle:That makes sense.

00:23:25Benny:It's the ninth largest goods export in the U.S.

00:23:25Gamemaster:RRR is great.

00:23:27Benny:Blood and plasma products.

00:23:32Johnny:I looked it up

00:23:33Johnny:we were not

00:23:33Johnny:our biggest export

00:23:34Johnny:is not entertainment

00:23:35Johnny:we are the biggest

00:23:36Johnny:entertainment exporter

00:23:37Johnny:I had my verbiage backwards

00:23:39Johnny:you guys ever watched a Bollywood film?

00:23:39Benny:Oh.

00:23:40Benny:Kind of goaded.

00:23:41Benny:We're like, we don't even care about entertainment, but we're better than everyone else at it.

00:23:45Argyle:We export a lot of minerals, fuel.

00:23:47Johnny:that smacks

00:23:48Argyle:What did you say?

00:23:48Johnny:you ever watched a Bollywood film?

00:23:49Argyle:Have you seen RRRR?

00:23:50Johnny:that kind of smacks

00:23:51Johnny:yeah

00:23:54Johnny:that was the one that I

00:23:55Benny:I don't know.

00:23:55Gamemaster:I was just about to say that.

00:23:57Gamemaster:It's such a good time.

00:24:00Argyle:yeah

00:24:00Benny:Huh?

00:24:00Johnny:I've seen other films because Ibrahim in college,

00:24:00Gamemaster:yeah

00:24:03Johnny:my roommate loved Bollywood.

00:24:04Argyle:that movie was crazy

00:24:05Johnny:So we watched a lot of films,

00:24:07Johnny:but are ours.

00:24:10Gamemaster:they did though

00:24:11Argyle:I don't know how they filled up the three hours

00:24:13Argyle:of action

00:24:13Argyle:it was non-stop

00:24:16Gamemaster:like it's

00:24:17Gamemaster:yeah it's not boring the whole way through

00:24:17Argyle:it is like two

00:24:19Gamemaster:it's a really good time

00:24:22Argyle:viltrumites fighting

00:24:24Argyle:I liked when they did the

00:24:25Johnny:Yeah.

00:24:27Argyle:piggyback ride with the guns

00:24:28Argyle:or the tug of War tigers

00:24:30Gamemaster:the whole the whole last act is is very it's i know you're supposed to suspend

00:24:33Argyle:you remember wait was rrr the one in the beginning when one of them was like

00:24:38Gamemaster:disbelief even more so for bollywood movies it's just it's crazy i

00:24:45Gamemaster:so yeah the the two main characters the first guy is um somebody who's working for the indian

00:24:49Argyle:basically a cop a fascist cop just like yeah that was the start of it right yeah

00:24:58Argyle:what a crazy movie

00:25:00Johnny:Very even things.

00:25:02Gamemaster:government uh as a police member and he's trying to get a promotion and the other guy opens with

00:25:07Gamemaster:him beating up a tiger.

00:25:11Gamemaster:So...

00:25:11Gamemaster:No, no, no, no, no. It is even.

00:25:17Gamemaster:Because the first guy to show him off, he goes

00:25:19Gamemaster:and he beats up an entire crowd

00:25:21Gamemaster:of like 8,000 people.

00:25:24Gamemaster:So,

00:25:25Gamemaster:you know...

00:25:26Johnny:8,000 versus one tiger.

00:25:26Argyle:yeah

00:25:27Argyle:I'm going to be honest with you

00:25:29Gamemaster:It's pretty close.

00:25:31Gamemaster:Like, for anybody in the chat,

00:25:33Gamemaster:in the chat, who hasn't seen

00:25:35Gamemaster:RRR, I highly

00:25:37Gamemaster:recommend it. You know, if you can

00:25:39Gamemaster:bear to watch a movie that's three hours long

00:25:41Gamemaster:so you need subtitles the whole time.

00:25:43Gamemaster:But...

00:25:45Argyle:I didn't think I was going to like it

00:25:47Argyle:but my oldest sibling was like

00:25:48Argyle:we should watch this

00:25:49Argyle:I was like I don't want to watch this

00:25:50Argyle:and they put it on

00:25:51Argyle:I was like I'm off

00:25:52Argyle:I was like holy fuck

00:25:53Gamemaster:Yeah it a good time you don

00:25:54Argyle:this movie is crazy I don want to watch this Yeah It crazy Yeah

00:26:00Anzu:I not sure I watched any Bollywood films

00:26:05Anzu:Right

00:26:06Gamemaster:you don't really need to

00:26:07Gamemaster:there's no

00:26:08Gamemaster:you don't need to know anything about Bollywood to watch this movie

00:26:12Gamemaster:you just need to know how to read

00:26:14Gamemaster:yeah it's a good time

00:26:14Anzu:Yeah I do that actually

00:26:19Gamemaster:reading and RRR

00:26:22Gamemaster:I just wish they had

00:26:23Argyle:Yeah.

00:26:24Gamemaster:chosen a better name.

00:26:25Argyle:yeah

00:26:25Johnny:There it is.

00:26:27Gamemaster:Because that's annoying to say out loud.

00:26:29Argyle:it's also funny because there was like

00:26:31Gamemaster:Yeah.

00:26:33Argyle:there was a bunch of like political

00:26:36Argyle:messaging built into it

00:26:38Argyle:but it's

00:26:38Gamemaster:Mm-hmm.

00:26:39Gamemaster:Oh, yeah.

00:26:39Gamemaster:Yeah.

00:26:40Argyle:so great not

00:26:41Argyle:knowing the context and just being like

00:26:44Argyle:this is going right over me

00:26:45Argyle:oh

00:26:46Gamemaster:Because the movie

00:26:47Gamemaster:in theory is about

00:26:49Gamemaster:two real-life people who were

00:26:51Gamemaster:revolutionaries in India against

00:26:53Gamemaster:the British rule. But I know

00:26:55Johnny:Oh, yeah, Pakistan versus India because of the parallel, the split.

00:26:55Gamemaster:for a fact that neither of them

00:26:57Gamemaster:did any of the things

00:26:59Gamemaster:that they do in the movie. I also don't think

00:27:01Argyle:oh and I thought there was also some like undertone about like because India has like

00:27:01Gamemaster:they ever met in real life.

00:27:07Argyle:the Hindi and the uh like Hindi and Islam conflict

00:27:12Gamemaster:But...

00:27:13Argyle:yeah yeah but there was just like but even in india there's like a growing faction of

00:27:13Gamemaster:Mmm.

00:27:17Johnny:Oh.

00:27:21Argyle:muslims and they're not happy uh do all the other groups but yeah there was like and then at the end

00:27:23Gamemaster:Oh, the credits song is very clearly propaganda.

00:27:25Johnny:it's crazy watching what's clearly political propaganda and having no context so you're like

00:27:28Argyle:apparently there was just a i didn't notice until the very end of the ending credits because there's

00:27:31Argyle:like artwork and i was like this feels political

00:27:34Argyle:exactly

00:27:41Gamemaster:I just, I don't know for what.

00:27:45Gamemaster:So it's fine.

00:27:45Argyle:yeah

00:27:45Gamemaster:Yeah.

00:27:51Johnny:i don't know this doesn't affect me either way

00:27:53Johnny:I not the target audience for this

00:27:53Gamemaster:It was a good time time

00:27:54Argyle:the film concluding montage celebrates various nationalist

00:28:06Argyle:figures from Indian history

00:28:07Argyle:but critics have noted a complete

00:28:09Argyle:absent of Muslim freedom fighters

00:28:11Argyle:or Mahatma Gandhi

00:28:13Argyle:yeah

00:28:15Gamemaster:Hmm.

00:28:16Gamemaster:Well, it's because it was a very violent movie.

00:28:19Gamemaster:You couldn't imagine

00:28:20Gamemaster:Gandhi

00:28:21Gamemaster:unleashing

00:28:24Gamemaster:a whole horde of animals to

00:28:25Johnny:Clearly they never played, what is it, Civ 1 with the buffer underflow?

00:28:26Gamemaster:go eviscerate a person.

00:28:32Johnny:Listen, the paradox of intolerance is that if you want a fully tolerant society, you've

00:28:32Gamemaster:Yes.

00:28:33Gamemaster:Although, it's not just in Civ 1.

00:28:35Gamemaster:They liked it so much that it's carried through

00:28:36Gamemaster:every Civ game. Gandhi is

00:28:38Gamemaster:newcappy.

00:28:41Gamemaster:Every single one. It's a character trait now.

00:28:43Gamemaster:It's a good time.

00:28:47Gamemaster:Of course.

00:28:48Johnny:got to treat all the intolerant people.

00:28:54Gamemaster:yeah that is

00:28:55Argyle:Oh, Tanner's looking fresh.

00:28:55Benny:Fresh to death.

00:28:55Johnny:I think I told you guys, if you go to Japan, they're like, yes, we had the Meiji period,

00:28:55Anzu:I guess.

00:29:03Johnny:and then nothing happened, and now it's 2000.

00:29:06Johnny:And that's-

00:29:07Gamemaster:is that not true?

00:29:07Johnny:Josh has prayed Japanese propaganda.

00:29:08Gamemaster:that sounds right to me

00:29:10Gamemaster:yeah

00:29:13Johnny:Well, if you did, it looks good.

00:29:13Gamemaster:yeah

00:29:13Gamemaster:I'm gonna turn my camera on too

00:29:18Anzu:Always.

00:29:20Johnny:If you didn't, your hair's looking good.

00:29:20Anzu:Always looking fresh.

00:29:25Argyle:Yeah, buddy.

00:29:25Benny:All right.

00:29:25Johnny:Whoop whoop.

00:29:29Gamemaster:I've just been eating

00:29:30Gamemaster:I got home five minutes ago

00:29:32Gamemaster:And so I just scarfed down something

00:29:35Gamemaster:It's great

00:29:35Gamemaster:How do we feel

00:29:40Gamemaster:About playing some Pathfinder?

00:29:43Johnny:Whoop whoop.

00:29:43Argyle:Whoop, whoop.

00:29:43Gamemaster:Does that sound like something we're interested in, maybe?

00:29:44Benny:All right, sure.

00:29:49Argyle:are those for your cats yeah cats Yeah

00:29:50Gamemaster:Cool, let's do that then.

00:29:53Gamemaster:God I don remember what happening These Yes They will bug me if I am at this computer and I don have a nice spot for them to sit down

00:29:55Benny:Thank you I looked over it because I didn know what it was

00:29:55Anzu:you That great

00:30:06Gamemaster:At first I only brought over one chair, but then they were fighting over it, so now I have two chairs so that they can both have a seat next to me.

00:30:13Argyle:Yeah.

00:30:21Benny:and Jorge was like, oh is that where your cat's at?

00:30:24Benny:And I didn't expect to see two Victorian era chairs just empty.

00:30:25Johnny:.

00:30:25Gamemaster:Yeah.

00:30:29Benny:They're not even behind you, like, pointed.

00:30:32Benny:They're just pointed, like, perpendicular to the screen.

00:30:36Benny:Like, as if you should have an old couple in a large dress and fancy suit just not even looking at you just in the background at, like, this angle.

00:30:36Gamemaster:Yeah.

00:30:46Benny:I don't know why.

00:30:46Gamemaster:What are the name of the hecklers in the Muppets?

00:30:51Gamemaster:Yes.

00:30:53Gamemaster:These are the chairs.

00:30:54Benny:Mm-hmm.

00:30:55Johnny:Good cats.

00:30:55Gamemaster:Yeah, right? That's where they hang out. That's where they're chilling.

00:31:00Gamemaster:Yeah, right? They're a good time. We like them. We allow them to stick around.

00:31:06Gamemaster:Um, so I don't remember what happened last time. Can somebody remind me?

00:31:12Gamemaster:Uh, Noah's hand is up.

00:31:18Johnny:We entered Egan's Mindscape, and it was very tactical and things went very smoothly.

00:31:25Anzu:I'm a legend.

00:31:25Gamemaster:Sorry.

00:31:26Johnny:Very quick fight that we ended tactically and easily.

00:31:31Johnny:And then, through the power of mind magic, Anzu quieted the Herald Song and shoved in

00:31:31Gamemaster:Sorry.

00:31:39Johnny:the Voidsong, which I think is the first time someone has conscripted someone else

00:31:43Johnny:to Iconoclasm.

00:31:48Johnny:we can see this everybody uh then we chatted a little bit everyone realized maybe egan's

00:31:48Gamemaster:You're setting a precedent, that's for sure.

00:31:55Argyle:.

00:31:55Johnny:not a great guy and our guy was like hey i don't know about this

00:32:00Argyle:some people slept elsewhere

00:32:00Johnny:And then we went to bed.

00:32:00Gamemaster:Yeah, no, that's it.

00:32:06Gamemaster:I mean, we spent most of last session just doing a fight.

00:32:10Gamemaster:So we are going to pick up this session.

00:32:24Gamemaster:and

00:32:27Gamemaster:yes some people

00:32:29Gamemaster:fully left the house

00:32:30Argyle:can you imagine if Argyle came back

00:32:30Johnny:You are the healer.

00:32:30Anzu:Looks like I was right about that.

00:32:31Gamemaster:entirely goes left at somebody else's

00:32:34Gamemaster:house but

00:32:35Gamemaster:I would say

00:32:37Gamemaster:yeah

00:32:40Argyle:and everyone was fucking murdered

00:32:42Argyle:like the heart was destroyed

00:32:44Argyle:and there's fucking bodies

00:32:46Johnny:You are the...

00:32:46Argyle:laughing

00:32:47Johnny:Yeah.

00:32:49Johnny:

00:32:49Johnny:See blood everywhere.

00:32:50Argyle:laughing

00:32:52Argyle:laughing

00:32:52Anzu:They have been judged.

00:32:53Gamemaster:judged

00:32:55Argyle:laughing

00:32:56Argyle:laughing

00:32:58Gamemaster:juried

00:32:58Argyle:laughing

00:32:59Gamemaster:executionered

00:33:00Argyle:I would have been Tanner's best.

00:33:00Anzu:Morons.

00:33:00Gamemaster:yeah

00:33:01Anzu:Morons.

00:33:07Johnny:Morons.

00:33:12Gamemaster:you slept

00:33:14Argyle:Yeah.

00:33:15Gamemaster:and now it's the morning

00:33:16Gamemaster:the suns haven't really risen

00:33:19Gamemaster:because you're kind of in

00:33:21Gamemaster:an endless dead grey expanse

00:33:23Gamemaster:so it's just dreary all the time, day or night.

00:33:26Gamemaster:But you definitely got some hours of sleep in.

00:33:29Gamemaster:And you rise to face a new day.

00:33:30Argyle:um i'd probably just like chill here for a little bit then head over

00:33:30Anzu:I am going to look for Argyle.

00:33:33Gamemaster:What are you doing?

00:33:41Gamemaster:I mean...

00:33:43Gamemaster:Kyle, are you just sticking around

00:33:45Gamemaster:and the Scale's faint for a little bit?

00:33:47Gamemaster:What's the plan?

00:33:48Gamemaster:Um...

00:33:52Argyle:around 10 i know we still gotta go clear some uh harlequins out and he for the mission But he pissed And Argyle an early riser So him getting there at 9 to 10 is very insulting

00:33:53Gamemaster:um Mm Mm Mm

00:33:55Johnny:Argyle comes back and Egan is shirtless doing like handstand push-ups right on the front lawn.

00:34:00Anzu:you Passive aggressive right

00:34:15Johnny:Hey.

00:34:16Johnny:what'd you say

00:34:18Argyle:Hello.

00:34:22Argyle:How many are you at?

00:34:25Argyle:How many are you at?

00:34:25Anzu:Oh, Argyle.

00:34:25Johnny:10

00:34:28Johnny:that's another

00:34:30Argyle:So you just got out here?

00:34:31Johnny:11 yeah

00:34:32Argyle:What time did you wake up?

00:34:33Johnny:like 20 minutes ago

00:34:36Johnny:I think

00:34:40Johnny:I think Johnny

00:34:41Argyle:Walked out annoyed.

00:34:41Johnny:I'm still asleep.

00:34:44Argyle:What a loser.

00:34:46Argyle:Getting up a den.

00:34:52Johnny:Locked in the kitchen.

00:34:54Argyle:Yes.

00:34:55Argyle:Are you scared you're going to get killed by the evil guy who's worshiping the evil god that lives in our house now?

00:34:55Anzu:I've been wanting to talk to you.

00:35:00Anzu:Um,

00:35:02Anzu:yeah, you kind of had me up last night.

00:35:10Anzu:Well,

00:35:11Argyle:He does kill innocents.

00:35:12Anzu:no, I

00:35:12Anzu:I didn't think he was going to kill me,

00:35:13Argyle:That makes you feel any better.

00:35:16Anzu:but I did want to apologize to you.

00:35:18Argyle:Yeah.

00:35:19Anzu:I was kind of

00:35:20Anzu:all kind of out of my mind

00:35:23Anzu:after the whole Voidsong thing worked.

00:35:25Argyle:So what are you apologizing for?

00:35:26Anzu:I wasn't thinking straight.

00:35:29Anzu:I was excited.

00:35:30Anzu:I was kind of blinded by that.

00:35:34Anzu:But for telling you that everything is fine

00:35:39Anzu:and not to worry about this guy

00:35:40Anzu:and not to worry about anything,

00:35:42Anzu:I think you're right that we need to be careful.

00:35:48Anzu:This guy is certainly dangerous,

00:35:51Anzu:but currently

00:35:53Anzu:I feel like he pointing his gun where we telling him to point it And we in a lot of danger We need whatever help we could get

00:35:55Argyle:Thank you that kind of egotistical

00:36:05Anzu:I think that, and I don't mean to sound egotistical here,

00:36:09Anzu:but we may be the most important people there are right now.

00:36:13Anzu:now and just because of these entities that are interested in us but yeah I don't think

00:36:17Argyle:but I get it

00:36:25Argyle:Are you going to trust him around your sister?

00:36:34Argyle:It's a fair question. He's a pirate.

00:36:35Anzu:I think with all of us around, I don't think he's going to act out.

00:36:43Anzu:I mean, I could be wrong, but I think going forward,

00:36:46Argyle:Okay.

00:36:47Anzu:I latched onto this guy because he was my shot to try this out,

00:36:51Anzu:and perhaps we should use a heavier filter in the future.

00:36:55Argyle:is he here

00:36:55Johnny:Egan's out front.

00:36:57Anzu:well he's he was out front so i figured after you walked away you came inside yeah

00:37:00Argyle:yeah just double checking

00:37:04Argyle:yeah

00:37:05Argyle:yeah we should totally kill this guy

00:37:10Argyle:I'm okay waiting

00:37:12Argyle:but he should totally die

00:37:13Argyle:for his sins

00:37:14Johnny:Johnny walked in at this point eating porridge.

00:37:15Argyle:yeah

00:37:17Johnny:You guys talking about killing Egan?

00:37:20Johnny:Might not be a good idea.

00:37:21Argyle:yeah

00:37:25Argyle:Are you going to come in with us to do the Harlequins?

00:37:25Johnny:I think if...

00:37:28Argyle:Are you going to send that guy instead?

00:37:32Argyle:I just don't think we could fit five of us.

00:37:34Argyle:From what I know about the elevator, I think it's going to have to be strictly four.

00:37:39Argyle:And.

00:37:39Johnny:Is this...

00:37:40Johnny:Are we doing the Harlequins, or is this to go get Galazoo back?

00:37:44Argyle:Either one or both.

00:37:50Johnny:I would love to, but...

00:37:50Argyle:Maybe we should leave Benny, actually, because that way, if he kills us, maybe Benny could

00:37:54Argyle:kill him at night Egan

00:37:55Benny:Benny will walk in You guys talking about killing people Oh Yeah

00:37:55Johnny:Yeah we talking about Killer Keegan maybe

00:37:57Anzu:you oh boy

00:38:05Benny:Add it to my list

00:38:07Benny:and Benny will pull out a small pad of paper

00:38:09Benny:and write something.

00:38:10Anzu:Benny do you think we should go after the harlequins

00:38:14Anzu:and try to get control of the thing first

00:38:18Anzu:or go down and try to get control of the

00:38:22Anzu:Herald situation.

00:38:25Argyle:I'll do that one first.

00:38:25Benny:are the conditions

00:38:25Johnny:No, they'll be gained because when he was moving the Herald Song was weaker.

00:38:29Benny:the conditions that

00:38:34Benny:helped Egan

00:38:36Benny:get free of it

00:38:37Benny:will those be lost if the strider starts moving

00:38:40Benny:I see

00:38:46Benny:took it to happen

00:38:47Anzu:So that could be to our benefit

00:38:48Argyle:I'll do that one first.

00:38:48Argyle:I'll do that one first.

00:38:49Anzu:going down there.

00:38:50Benny:but that's

00:38:52Benny:I don't know

00:38:55Johnny:Okay.

00:38:56Benny:I mean it assumes a lot

00:38:58Benny:I mean we can kill a bunch of Harlequins

00:39:00Benny:or negotiate with Harlequins or whatever

00:39:02Benny:but I feel like it is a

00:39:04Benny:technological feat to get this

00:39:06Benny:thing moving again and

00:39:07Benny:might not be guaranteed to just kind of

00:39:10Benny:get resolved

00:39:15Johnny:So I'm going to consider once we are moving again, there's no guarantee that this alliance we have with Grayson and them is going to hold.

00:39:18Benny:yeah

00:39:22Johnny:It may just be until we get it fixed.

00:39:22Benny:That's true.

00:39:25Argyle:well

00:39:25Gamemaster:That was what he said to you.

00:39:25Johnny:And then Grayson says, we don't need you anymore.

00:39:27Johnny:Bow, bow, bow.

00:39:29Benny:Maybe it's better to get Galzoon now while everyone is at...

00:39:31Argyle:I think our alliance

00:39:33Argyle:our alliance was

00:39:34Argyle:we'll be together

00:39:36Argyle:we'll work together until

00:39:38Argyle:we make it back to prime

00:39:41Argyle:if you trust him

00:39:45Johnny:I actually, on the note of the Ashen Pact, that guy from MoCuP, just

00:39:46Argyle:do you guys trust him

00:39:47Benny:So speeding that up doesn't seem to be a good benefit.

00:39:49Argyle:I mean at least he doesn't worship the ashen pack

00:39:52Argyle:so there's that

00:40:00Argyle:Yep.

00:40:00Johnny:Just a thought. You know how, like, Aurelia is the Pontifex? I may be getting my religions across. You know how Aurelia is the high poobah of the host?

00:40:00Anzu:Yes, the Hierophant, perhaps?

00:40:00Gamemaster:She is both a pontifex and the hierophant.

00:40:15Johnny:Yes, thank you.

00:40:20Anzu:Or...

00:40:20Johnny:Oh, nice.

00:40:21Anzu:We are so good at this.

00:40:21Gamemaster:A hierophant is...

00:40:24Gamemaster:The pontifex is the head of specifically the Iridescent Church.

00:40:26Argyle:Hope.

00:40:27Argyle:Yeah.

00:40:27Gamemaster:a hierophant is somebody who has gone to the Godhome and returned.

00:40:30Argyle:There's mocap.

00:40:30Johnny:Just a thought that I want to put out there.

00:40:30Anzu:Unremarkable.

00:40:37Johnny:What if that guy from MoCuP, whose name I can't remember,

00:40:41Johnny:is like the Hierophant of Herald?

00:40:45Argyle:Oh.

00:40:46Johnny:The Ministry of Cultural Progress.

00:40:49Gamemaster:Giannos.

00:40:50Argyle:That totally has mandibles.

00:40:50Gamemaster:This is the guy who looks like totally normal to you.

00:40:55Argyle:Unremarkable mandibles, OK?

00:40:56Gamemaster:Not that you've seen.

00:40:56Anzu:Not very standout.

00:40:57Gamemaster:Make

00:41:00Argyle:yeah

00:41:00Johnny:He's just, he's so unremarkable, and he definitely knows what's going on.

00:41:00Anzu:Do they...

00:41:04Argyle:if he's a higher fan

00:41:07Argyle:I think we're

00:41:10Argyle:really really fucked

00:41:12Argyle:he might just be a high

00:41:13Johnny:I mean, him...

00:41:17Anzu:Do we think that the Ashen Pact

00:41:19Anzu:behave in the same way as the Outer Gods?

00:41:25Anzu:I mean, they don't...

00:41:26Anzu:Do they live in the Godhome?

00:41:27Gamemaster:Yeah, may...

00:41:28Anzu:Probably not.

00:41:29Gamemaster:If you can make a religion check for me, please.

00:41:30Argyle:I will right click.

00:41:30Johnny:I'll aid someone.

00:41:30Anzu:I'll let the religion guy ruminate on this.

00:41:34Gamemaster:Or I suppose a cult, but the occult check will have a higher DC.

00:41:41Argyle:You can make an occult too.

00:41:44Argyle:We can usually get two checks.

00:41:45Johnny:I'll aid Argyle.

00:41:46Anzu:Yeah, I'll do the occult.

00:41:51Johnny:I feel like Argyle is useful.

00:41:51Anzu:Oh!

00:41:51Anzu:Oh!

00:41:53Gamemaster:What we get 38 is pretty good 35 is less good

00:41:54Anzu:I got a 38

00:42:00Argyle:Yeah I got 35 Yeah but it was the easier skill

00:42:00Johnny:you Yeah hang on

00:42:06Anzu:But it's religion.

00:42:09Gamemaster:But it is religion.

00:42:10Anzu:So it's probably about the same.

00:42:14Gamemaster:It is about the same.

00:42:16Gamemaster:Both of those are successes.

00:42:18Gamemaster:Did you roll an 8 check?

00:42:23Johnny:I'm trying to see something, because I may have just screwed Argyle.

00:42:25Argyle:I think you probably have the feat that makes it so you can't negatively affect if you have

00:42:25Gamemaster:Oh.

00:42:32Johnny:I'm pretty sure I do have that feat somewhere, so I think it's just a regular failure.

00:42:32Argyle:Squire.

00:42:34Argyle:Is it Squire?

00:42:37Gamemaster:It doesn't.

00:42:38Johnny:Okay, I don't help Argyle.

00:42:40Gamemaster:Yeah, it doesn't.

00:42:40Argyle:.

00:42:42Argyle:.

00:42:43Gamemaster:Sorry, I'm dying.

00:42:44Gamemaster:It doesn't matter.

00:42:44Argyle:.

00:42:45Gamemaster:Either way, those are successes.

00:42:46Argyle:.

00:42:48Gamemaster:So, like, you guys are trying to figure out,

00:42:48Argyle:.

00:42:50Argyle:.

00:42:51Gamemaster:do Ashenpact work the same as the Outer Gods as you know them? And you can't definitively answer

00:42:52Argyle:.

00:42:59Gamemaster:that question. I can say the one known entrance to the Godhome is as bright as the sun in the sky.

00:43:08Gamemaster:So in order for them to work like the Outer Gods, you would guess that they would have to also be

00:43:15Gamemaster:in the Godhome. You don't know the dynamics of the Outer Gods, so you don't know if that is the case

00:43:20Gamemaster:or not, but

00:43:21Gamemaster:just to put that out there.

00:43:24Gamemaster:If the Ashen Pact have

00:43:25Benny:Ask a tune.

00:43:25Anzu:Is that just because of the...

00:43:26Gamemaster:Hierophants, then

00:43:28Gamemaster:they're in the Godhome as well.

00:43:37Anzu:What's the word I'm looking for?

00:43:44Gamemaster:I don't know.

00:43:48Anzu:Semantics of it?

00:43:48Gamemaster:Saskatoon?

00:43:50Gamemaster:No, no, no, no.

00:43:51Gamemaster:I'm not quibbling with words.

00:43:53Gamemaster:It's just, to your knowledge,

00:43:54Gamemaster:the only way out of the firmament to where the gods are is that entrance to the Godhome So either I suppose like I think that you would think that this is very unlikely

00:43:55Anzu:Mm Mm yeah

00:44:06Gamemaster:Either there is another crack somewhere completely hidden in the firmament, which you don't think

00:44:12Gamemaster:is possible just by virtue of how that works, or in order for somebody to be a Hierophant,

00:44:18Gamemaster:they need to have exited into the Godhome and then found the Ashen Pact and then gotten

00:44:21Anzu:yeah

00:44:22Anzu:that being said

00:44:22Gamemaster:back.

00:44:25Argyle:But you know what's interesting is

00:44:25Johnny:I just want to put that out there, put that on everyone's radar.

00:44:25Anzu:Anzu says

00:44:28Anzu:it doesn't mean that they can't have

00:44:31Anzu:champions of some kind that

00:44:33Anzu:just you know are created

00:44:35Anzu:in a slightly different means

00:44:37Anzu:could be this guy could be this

00:44:39Anzu:guy's just you know

00:44:40Anzu:follower of you know some other

00:44:43Anzu:echelon

00:44:52Anzu:So, shoot, what should we do today?

00:44:53Argyle:That guy doesn't have a weird black Raymond.

00:44:55Johnny:That's true.

00:44:58Argyle:But we do have that guy outside that does.

00:45:03Johnny:Look out the window.

00:45:04Johnny:Egan's just doing one-legged squats on his moves.

00:45:06Argyle:And.

00:45:22Anzu:I agree, personally.

00:45:23Argyle:Sounds good.

00:45:23Johnny:Well.

00:45:25Benny:Let's do it.

00:45:25Johnny:I kind of vote we take the Strider back if it's going to weaken all the Heralds.

00:45:33Anzu:...

00:45:38Benny:We'll just go in, hit the Strider reset button, and we're off.

00:45:44Johnny:Easy peasy.

00:45:47Johnny:Now, since there are only four spots and a spot for a bird in the elevator,

00:45:52Anzu:Yeah that is actually a fascinating point because the harlequins are in there and to date we only

00:45:53Johnny:Do you guys think it be more of a talking thing or do you want to give Egan a trial run and see if he really is as good as he

00:45:55Argyle:Yeah.

00:46:08Anzu:ever spoken with them we've not uh engaged in violence with them but that doesn't mean

00:46:15Anzu:we need to do it that way today i don't know what their disposition is going to be now that

00:46:22Anzu:they've been thrust into kind of a

00:46:23Anzu:different situation

00:46:25Argyle:Probably high.

00:46:25Benny:Shall we ask Machine God?

00:46:25Johnny:it could be that

00:46:26Anzu:here.

00:46:27Johnny:it could be their hold up in there

00:46:30Johnny:yeah

00:46:32Anzu:Machine God saw them

00:46:33Anzu:enter the tower,

00:46:36Anzu:but he cannot see into the tower.

00:46:38Benny:No, I mean more like, do we need them alive to get this moving?

00:46:42Benny:What are the odds that the Harlequins have knowledge to run this thing?

00:46:48Benny:that it might be more of a talking thing

00:46:49Anzu:Hmm.

00:46:52Anzu:He'll definitely be useful for that task.

00:46:55Argyle:or

00:46:55Johnny:All right.

00:46:58Johnny:We'll give Egan the day off.

00:47:00Argyle:we could just take Egan out, go grab your sister,

00:47:04Argyle:hopefully Egan doesn't kill her, and then we kill Egan after we get her brain out.

00:47:15Argyle:That way Egan hangs out less.

00:47:18Benny:Of course, your uncle.

00:47:18Argyle:Unless we think he's redeemable,

00:47:21Argyle:and we can try to redeem him.

00:47:22Anzu:He was redeemed.

00:47:25Argyle:Personally, I believe we should make a dungeon first,

00:47:25Johnny:But he's a redeemed, he's a redeemand, he's been redeemand.

00:47:30Argyle:and then we forcibly redeem him.

00:47:32Argyle:It works well. It worked for my uncle.

00:47:36Benny:A demon.

00:47:38Argyle:Eh, he's still a demon.

00:47:43Anzu:Oh, see, Johnny, this is why you're the talking guy.

00:47:43Argyle:Yeah.

00:47:46Argyle:Mm-hmm.

00:47:48Benny:I think we

00:47:55Argyle:What do you guys say?

00:48:00Argyle:uh okay real talk out of game i don't think i think if we go get your sister first it's not

00:48:00Benny:should go in with the ability to talk.

00:48:00Johnny:Megan's a temp character.

00:48:10Argyle:the end of the day and i think it might be we'd be able to bring egan i don't know if

00:48:16Argyle:egan's gonna make it out if that's okay unless he starts showing good character traits in there

00:48:20Argyle:that's fine and then then then he can play his character

00:48:25Argyle:okay

00:48:26Johnny:If you guys gang up on him, he'll fight back, but you guys can kill him.

00:48:29Argyle:unless you guys would prefer to

00:48:30Benny:All right.

00:48:30Johnny:I mean, it could be back in game.

00:48:30Anzu:I never said she was an engineer.

00:48:31Benny:You never

00:48:33Argyle:go get the

00:48:35Argyle:harlequins first

00:48:36Argyle:yeah

00:48:40Johnny:It could be beneficial to have two mind birds on our side for whatever we have to do in there.

00:48:40Argyle:yeah what if it's really complicated machinery

00:48:48Argyle:no offense you keep making your sister sound

00:48:49Argyle:cooler than you

00:48:54Anzu:But she's very smart.

00:48:55Argyle:Yeah.

00:48:59Benny:Okay

00:49:00Anzu:no that's true

00:49:01Benny:You never said she wasn't.

00:49:06Anzu:um

00:49:11Benny:So it's more of a smash and grab.

00:49:12Anzu:yeah i i guess

00:49:13Benny:I imagine, especially if Egan's coming,

00:49:16Benny:it'll be more of a smash and grab.

00:49:18Benny:But some stealth?

00:49:19Benny:I mean, we're heading into mongrel folk territory

00:49:22Benny:to weed out Herald singers.

00:49:25Argyle:Alright, we could think moving first.

00:49:25Anzu:right that's almost a two-pronged thing right there's rescuing my sister but then there's also

00:49:33Anzu:we want to take out all of the heralds influence i don't know that might be a larger campaign

00:49:39Anzu:i'm not sure

00:49:41Anzu:I didn't get the sense that he just

00:49:45Argyle:We just leave Egan here to attack our friends.

00:49:54Anzu:like

00:49:54Anzu:murders on a whim

00:49:55Argyle:What do you call killing innocence Yeah

00:50:00Johnny:I mean do we know the Billy Innocent bad

00:50:07Johnny:Egan, bad guy.

00:50:08Johnny:Damned soul.

00:50:08Johnny:You know, all that other judge stuff.

00:50:12Johnny:I guess we don't know that much about him.

00:50:16Anzu:I mean, pirates usually have some kind of code, don't they?

00:50:16Argyle:Yeah.

00:50:18Argyle:What?

00:50:19Johnny:Yeah.

00:50:20Argyle:What?

00:50:22Anzu:Yeah, there's like the pirate code.

00:50:23Anzu:I read about this

00:50:25Argyle:That only applies to other pirates.

00:50:25Benny:Isn't the pirate code like it doesn't matter where we take it?

00:50:25Johnny:I thought it was Yo-Ho Yo-Ho A Pirate's Life for me.

00:50:25Anzu:I guess it depends on

00:50:32Argyle:I think pirates code is like the thief code.

00:50:33Anzu:I think that was just article one

00:50:35Argyle:It only applies to other pirates.

00:50:40Benny:Yeah.

00:50:40Argyle:I'm sure the twins could kill him.

00:50:46Anzu:Code

00:50:46Argyle:Hmm.

00:50:47Johnny:Oh, that's just the opener?

00:50:47Anzu:The preamble

00:50:48Johnny:we the pirates of lorandris

00:50:51Benny:It's what gets people hooked in.

00:50:53Benny:And they're like, wait, this?

00:50:53Anzu:say yo ho

00:50:55Gamemaster:Okay.

00:50:58Anzu:um

00:51:05Anzu:all right

00:51:11Anzu:Egan stays home

00:51:12Anzu:we're going to the tower

00:51:17Gamemaster:Egan is staying home.

00:51:19Gamemaster:The four OGs, the five if you count Othello,

00:51:23Gamemaster:your plan is to go to

00:51:23Anzu:And we're going to slay.

00:51:26Gamemaster:the spire in the center of the strider

00:51:28Gamemaster:by way of

00:51:30Gamemaster:yeah okay okay

00:51:30Anzu:Okay.

00:51:32Gamemaster:you're gonna slay

00:51:33Gamemaster:that's fine

00:51:34Gamemaster:alright

00:51:37Gamemaster:as we had

00:51:40Gamemaster:established a while ago

00:51:42Gamemaster:your allyship

00:51:44Gamemaster:with

00:51:45Gamemaster:the machine god

00:51:47Gamemaster:effectively means that you don't need to roll

00:51:50Gamemaster:survival checks to fight your way within

00:51:52Gamemaster:in the interior of the Leprechaun Undercroft So I don need you to make any survival checks If your goal is to get to the area that is the entrance to the spire from underneath then you can do that

00:51:55Benny:All right.

00:52:07Gamemaster:What I will ask for is a marching order.

00:52:14Gamemaster:You can go 2x2 hurrah if you like.

00:52:24Gamemaster:You could be some ants.

00:52:25Argyle:I'll do this up front.

00:52:25Benny:Danny's up front.

00:52:25Johnny:Johnny is not up front.

00:52:25Anzu:Yeah, neither is Anzu.

00:52:27Gamemaster:Okay.

00:52:30Gamemaster:Great.

00:52:33Argyle:Okay, okay. I'll go up front.

00:52:33Gamemaster:Absolutely.

00:52:35Argyle:I'll go up front. Maybe we should have brought Egan.

00:52:36Gamemaster:Absolutely. Because I asked for a marching order?

00:52:37Argyle:I don't like this anymore.

00:52:40Anzu:Well, we can go

00:52:41Argyle:I don't like this anymore.

00:52:42Anzu:Benny, Argyle,

00:52:45Anzu:and then Johnny Anzu.

00:52:49Argyle:Yeah, let's do that.

00:52:51Gamemaster:Okay, that's fine.

00:52:52Argyle:Are gals holding one hand on Benny's shoulder?

00:52:52Anzu:...

00:52:55Argyle:like special forces do ready to heal them.

00:52:55Benny:You've teamed us all with your passivity.

00:52:55Gamemaster:Absolutely, that is fine.

00:52:58Argyle:I can only

00:53:03Gamemaster:Okay, so for you in the front, I would love it if I could get a perception check.

00:53:15Gamemaster:What?

00:53:18Gamemaster:Oh, okay.

00:53:19Benny:They've do, I mean, you as in the plural group, you.

00:53:22Benny:Benny does not have the highest perception

00:53:24Gamemaster:Because they put Benny in front and he's not very good at looking at stuff.

00:53:25Anzu:Very good.

00:53:25Benny:He's not bad

00:53:28Argyle:He's good.

00:53:29Benny:33

00:53:31Benny:It's because he's under pressure

00:53:32Argyle:See, he's pretty good.

00:53:36Benny:And everyone knows Benny performs under pressure

00:53:40Gamemaster:33 is pretty good.

00:53:42Gamemaster:Okay.

00:53:44Gamemaster:You are in the Undercroft.

00:53:47Gamemaster:you are walking through at this point.

00:53:49Gamemaster:It's, it's, you've been down here enough times,

00:53:52Gamemaster:and honestly if you seen one steam grimy half twisting pathway through the depths of an ancient machine You seen them all

00:54:06Gamemaster:You're almost blindly following directions where all of you in your ears hear, and now turn left.

00:54:14Gamemaster:Okay, and then in three hallways turn right.

00:54:17Gamemaster:you are being navigated in such a way that you don't necessarily if you don't want to

00:54:25Gamemaster:bump into any of the mongrel folk who do in fact live in this area and are continuing to work on

00:54:31Gamemaster:and maintain the systems um that keep the strider going although at any point if you do wish to bump

00:54:39Gamemaster:into them you can tell uh the machine gun and he will steer you towards the nearest group

00:54:43Gamemaster:but assuming you're trying to go without unnecessary interaction you can find yourselves

00:54:53Gamemaster:you take the elevator in your garage down a floor you walk through towards the center of the area

00:55:00Gamemaster:towards the center of the strider until you enter into what is you've seen these in a few places

00:55:07Gamemaster:these large multi-floor cylindrical gaps in the interior of the strider that are these kind of

00:55:13Gamemaster:throughways that multiple floors exit out into.

00:55:17Gamemaster:This is close to the top of one of them

00:55:20Gamemaster:because you are on the second floor of the Strider

00:55:23Gamemaster:at this point, directly underneath the spire.

00:55:26Gamemaster:And you can see that suspended in the,

00:55:32Gamemaster:suspended in the center of this bell-shaped opening

00:55:36Gamemaster:is what appears to be a platform of some kind.

00:55:41Gamemaster:It is hanging from these sturdy looking massive metal cables that hang down from...

00:55:50Gamemaster:You can't actually get a good look at it because the ceiling curves over before the entryway up,

00:55:56Gamemaster:but you can see that they hang down from a long

00:56:00Gamemaster:tunnel upwards, which you gather to be the interior of the strider, the interior

00:56:07Gamemaster:of the gyroscope on top of the strider, that is. I will also note, because Benny,

00:56:14Gamemaster:you got such a good perception check, as within the last two or three hallways as

00:56:24Gamemaster:as you have approached this cylindrical opening,

00:56:29Gamemaster:the base of the spire,

00:56:31Gamemaster:you have noticed an interesting sensation.

00:56:34Gamemaster:At first you feel like maybe the Strider

00:56:36Gamemaster:has started moving or something again

00:56:38Gamemaster:because you feel like you almost lose your balance

00:56:40Gamemaster:for half a second.

00:56:42Gamemaster:But no, if anything, the metal floor here

00:56:46Gamemaster:that makes up the base of the hallway

00:56:49Gamemaster:that you're walking through

00:56:50Gamemaster:has a bit more give to it

00:56:54Gamemaster:than you had been expecting.

00:56:56Gamemaster:There's a little bit of malleability to it

00:56:59Gamemaster:in a way that hallways further back away

00:57:00Anzu:That's weird.

00:57:02Gamemaster:from the spire didn't have.

00:57:05Gamemaster:Not quite elastic,

00:57:07Gamemaster:but more elastic certainly than metal ought to be.

00:57:14Gamemaster:Excuse me.

00:57:20Anzu:And I'm wondering if I want to make...

00:57:24Anzu:If a crafting check would be good.

00:57:24Gamemaster:You're more than welcome to make a crafting check if you like.

00:57:26Anzu:to see if it's a different material.

00:57:37Anzu:I got a 30.

00:57:39Gamemaster:30. Okay, with a 30, you crouch down for a moment and you feel the floor.

00:57:45Gamemaster:Once it's pointed out to you, you get it as well.

00:57:47Gamemaster:The floor is ever so slightly more elastic.

00:57:49Gamemaster:with the 30

00:57:51Gamemaster:you just

00:57:53Gamemaster:you find a sharp implement somewhere and you use it to kind of scratch into the surface to see if it still the metal that you would expect it to be if it kind of shaves off in a way that you would expect

00:58:06Gamemaster:And the answer is that it does. This is still the metal, the alloy that makes up the majority

00:58:12Gamemaster:of the strider. There's just, in this area, a bit more give to it than expected. If you like,

00:58:22Gamemaster:You can make an occultism check as a follow-up.

00:58:25Anzu:Yeah.

00:58:25Anzu:Yeah.

00:58:27Anzu:At any point,

00:58:29Anzu:did we feel ourselves enter a Fane?

00:58:32Gamemaster:No, you did not.

00:58:35Anzu:I only got a 25.

00:58:38Anzu:Let me look at one thing real quick,

00:58:39Gamemaster:Okay.

00:58:39Anzu:if you don't mind.

00:58:41Gamemaster:I do mind, but I'll allow it anyway.

00:58:51Anzu:Never mind.

00:58:52Gamemaster:Okay.

00:58:56Gamemaster:Yeah, so with a 25, it's...

00:59:04Gamemaster:I don't know how Anzu would know to interpret it other than the floor appears to him to be mundane,

00:59:12Gamemaster:in that there isn't a magical effect on it making it more elastic,

00:59:16Gamemaster:it's just that the property of the metal right here makes it more elastic than it normally is.

00:59:25Argyle:All right.

00:59:25Benny:Well, fucking who else is going to?

00:59:25Johnny:Making things a little loosey-goosey.

00:59:25Anzu:I don't know what's going on, guys.

00:59:28Anzu:Possible theory?

00:59:31Benny:Oh, okay. Sorry. Go ahead.

00:59:31Anzu:Yeah, no, nobody. We're screwed.

00:59:33Anzu:But a possible theory could be something with the gyroscope

00:59:41Anzu:and maybe the magic that's involved there that gets kind of...

00:59:49Anzu:Yeah, but I don't know. It's hard. It's weird.

00:59:52Benny:Yeah.

00:59:52Benny:Benny will mimic his hand motions

00:59:54Benny:ago Got it Yeah Okay

00:59:55Argyle:I am I was thinking guys You know when they pulled the void energy out of that other guy and you know how the energies kind of looks kind of purple

00:59:55Johnny:you Mm

01:00:08Argyle:whenever they do tithes

01:00:10Johnny:Mm-hmm.

01:00:10Argyle:are we trying to drive this strider into whatever the fuck those

01:00:15Argyle:weird void hearts come out of

01:00:23Anzu:You think that's where the destination was?

01:00:25Argyle:I think so.

01:00:25Gamemaster:Um...

01:00:26Anzu:Like beyond the void wall?

01:00:31Argyle:And is this floor void?

01:00:33Argyle:Is it like squat,

01:00:35Argyle:like soft,

01:00:36Argyle:like the void hearts are their floors or is it different soft?

01:00:42Gamemaster:I guess you get to roll a perception check now here for this.

01:00:47Argyle:Okay.

01:00:48Argyle:Yeah.

01:00:50Anzu:That is a fascinating observation.

01:00:51Gamemaster:Yeah, I don't know...

01:00:52Gamemaster:Yeah, I don't know what other check I would make you make here.

01:00:53Anzu:All right.

01:00:55Argyle:oh don't worry about it

01:00:55Benny:here's a jit

01:00:57Argyle:don't worry about it

01:00:59Argyle:it's 22

01:00:59Gamemaster:What'd you get?

01:01:01Gamemaster:Okay, the weird stuff that happened in the Voidheart

01:01:04Gamemaster:was this kind of elastic push thing.

01:01:07Gamemaster:This is this weird elastic push thing.

01:01:09Gamemaster:Eh.

01:01:16Benny:so we're going to make this quick and then really get to the eloquence because we need

01:01:18Anzu:So...

01:01:22Gamemaster:So at this point, you've noticed the elasticness of the floor being a little increased here,

01:01:23Anzu:yeah are we

01:01:24Benny:this thing moving.

01:01:27Anzu:have we gone as far as the machine god

01:01:30Anzu:can take us

01:01:37Gamemaster:and you are now standing at the hallway that you're in empties out into a kind of balcony,

01:01:43Gamemaster:into this large cylindrical area.

01:01:47Gamemaster:The balcony itself is 10 feet by 10 feet.

01:01:50Gamemaster:There enough room for all of you to stand on it and that kinda it There are railings on the side and it looks like at one time there may have been a railing or a gate or something on the front but it has been clearly ripped off There is a gap from where the balcony is by about 30 feet and then that where this platform that you can see that is suspended in the middle of the area begins

01:02:16Gamemaster:You can also see that hanging off of the side of the platform, attached to the platform and then hanging downward, is about 30 feet of metal grate that looked like it was at one time a bridge that connected the balcony you're currently on to the platform.

01:02:25Anzu:Oh, that's so interesting.

01:02:35Gamemaster:There are similar catwalks that have been disconnected from balconies on the left and right sides and directly across from you in this area.

01:02:50Anzu:they've marooned themselves

01:02:53Anzu:purposefully

01:02:55Argyle:I can.

01:02:55Benny:There.

01:02:55Johnny:I can also fly there if you need.

01:02:55Anzu:I mean I could fly there

01:02:59Anzu:I could fly there

01:03:05Gamemaster:Okay.

01:03:06Anzu:yeah

01:03:09Anzu:I'll fly

01:03:10Anzu:to the edge

01:03:12Benny:Penny has monkey bars.

01:03:13Gamemaster:Okay.

01:03:15Gamemaster:I...

01:03:16Argyle:I can air walk us there.

01:03:18Argyle:Well, I can air walk myself.

01:03:19Argyle:Benny can hold on my back.

01:03:20Anzu:Like some

01:03:21Gamemaster:Penny does have monkey bars.

01:03:25Argyle:Would it still be better for you to hold my back though?

01:03:25Benny:Benny is the archetype of persistence.

01:03:25Johnny:That's really funny.

01:03:28Gamemaster:That's crazy.

01:03:30Gamemaster:Oh.

01:03:30Gamemaster:that's ridiculous

01:03:33Argyle:Maybe use it as a backup?

01:03:37Anzu:American Ninja Warrior

01:03:37Gamemaster:you have two immovable rods

01:03:39Gamemaster:Benny can get anywhere he wants

01:03:42Gamemaster:it'll just be a little slow

01:03:44Gamemaster:yeah you

01:03:45Anzu:kind of thing.

01:03:50Anzu:I could also like shoot

01:03:52Argyle:I guess we could just go with it.

01:03:53Argyle:We all could...

01:03:55Anzu:some rope over back to you guys

01:03:58Anzu:I don't know

01:04:00Benny:What do you mean?

01:04:00Anzu:stop

01:04:00Gamemaster:Um, so, uh, just, just so you have an idea.

01:04:04Anzu:yes you did

01:04:08Benny:I didn't even make a face.

01:04:09Benny:I made a neutral face.

01:04:10Anzu:it was in your eyes

01:04:13Benny:I was thinking it.

01:04:14Benny:Maybe you read my mind.

01:04:17Benny:It was totally my mind.

01:04:19Benny:Why would you throw some rope over?

01:04:22Benny:Who says that when referring to real rope?

01:04:22Anzu:no

01:04:23Anzu:because I have the wrist grappler

01:04:25Anzu:that literally shoots the rope

01:04:27Anzu:so anyway

01:04:27Benny:Just don't say that.

01:04:29Benny:It shoots a grappling twine.

01:04:30Argyle:you just dumped some rope into this hole

01:04:30Johnny:A grappling twine?

01:04:30Gamemaster:Okay, absolutely.

01:04:33Benny:It shoots twine.

01:04:36Johnny:A grappling twine?

01:04:39Anzu:Anzu shoots rope at Benny

01:04:40Anzu:I'm gonna fly over

01:04:48Anzu:onto the platform

01:04:50Gamemaster:the platform itself

01:04:51Johnny:I'll also fly over you.

01:04:53Anzu:and

01:04:54Gamemaster:is about

01:04:56Gamemaster:by the looks of it 15 feet

01:04:58Gamemaster:tall

01:04:59Gamemaster:it is in fact

01:05:01Gamemaster:one floor

01:05:04Gamemaster:like a room effectively

01:05:06Gamemaster:or a set of rooms

01:05:08Gamemaster:that have been attached to these cables

01:05:10Gamemaster:that lead upwards

01:05:11Gamemaster:there is a door connected to where the catwalk

01:05:14Gamemaster:had originally been

01:05:15Gamemaster:it is currently closed

01:05:17Gamemaster:but there's a little ledge for one person to stand on in front of it.

01:05:27Anzu:Let me think about something.

01:05:30Johnny:Yeah, I think we can get it.

01:05:30Anzu:We don't really need to fix this catwalk, right?

01:05:33Anzu:We have enough ways to get across.

01:05:36Johnny:I mean, the only reason we need to fix it is if we need to be coming back and forth

01:05:39Johnny:here a whole bunch, but that sort of seems like a later problem.

01:05:41Anzu:Yeah.

01:05:46Anzu:Because I could probably lift it, but it would be expensive.

01:05:47Gamemaster:Absolutely Absolutely Can I get a thievery check please

01:05:54Anzu:I not going to open the door but I going to test to see if it locked

01:05:59Benny:you I like the uber paranoia

01:06:00Argyle:Amen Thank you

01:06:00Johnny:you I mean clearly they knew who they were dealing with

01:06:08Anzu:Oh, boy.

01:06:11Benny:They're like, okay, all the bridges are gone,

01:06:13Benny:but have we locked the doors?

01:06:20Anzu:I'm going to fail this check.

01:06:20Benny:...

01:06:23Anzu:Oh, my God.

01:06:24Anzu:I got a 21, which is actually incredible, but...

01:06:25Argyle:Should we go over or are you going to throw some rope over here?

01:06:25Benny:So, open the door.

01:06:25Johnny:You want me to throw some rope?

01:06:25Gamemaster:Okay, absolutely.

01:06:31Gamemaster:With a 21, no, the door isn't locked.

01:06:34Gamemaster:Okay.

01:06:41Anzu:Yeah, well, we can't fit unless I open the door.

01:06:44Argyle:Do you want Benny and me over there first?

01:06:50Johnny:Okay.

01:06:51Johnny:Do we have...

01:06:54Anzu:Alright, I'll shoot the wrist grappler.

01:06:55Benny:Between.

01:06:55Johnny:Yeah, maybe one of them should open the door.

01:06:55Gamemaster:Okay.

01:07:10Anzu:Yep.

01:07:11Anzu:Yeah.

01:07:13Gamemaster:Back across the way to the platform.

01:07:14Argyle:Well, we should be prepared, right?

01:07:16Gamemaster:Absolutely.

01:07:16Gamemaster:Can I get, I guess, make a, is it athletics?

01:07:24Gamemaster:One second.

01:07:24Anzu:I spent money on this. It just works.

01:07:25Benny:It just works.

01:07:25Johnny:I don't know

01:07:25Gamemaster:Does it? It doesn't just work.

01:07:34Gamemaster:Make a ranged attack roll using your simple weapon proficiency.

01:07:38Anzu:Oh, no.

01:07:41Anzu:Would that be the same as my beak?

01:07:41Gamemaster:That's, uh...

01:07:44Gamemaster:One second, I will tell you what your simple weapon proficiency is.

01:07:44Argyle:I think that's your unarmed.

01:07:48Benny:Yeah, be good on her.

01:07:49Gamemaster:You have a plus 11.

01:07:51Anzu:But that's worse than my beak.

01:07:54Anzu:I don know My beak says it plus 14

01:07:55Gamemaster:Why is that worse than your beak Oh sorry it is No it is plus

01:07:58Argyle:You probably Yeah that unarmed though Oh

01:08:05Gamemaster:Oh, no, never mind.

01:08:08Gamemaster:It would use your strength mod, not your dex mod like your beak.

01:08:12Gamemaster:So it's 11 plus your strength mod, which is 0.

01:08:15Anzu:Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:08:16Argyle:Oh.

01:08:16Anzu:Because the beak is finesse.

01:08:18Gamemaster:Yeah.

01:08:18Anzu:That makes sense.

01:08:25Johnny:Oh no.

01:08:25Anzu:I'll do that here in Discord.

01:08:25Gamemaster:What did we get?

01:08:31Anzu:I got a natural 1 for a 12 fumble.

01:08:38Gamemaster:Absolutely.

01:08:39Anzu:I broke my Riskrappler.

01:08:42Gamemaster:With a natural one, you shoot the wrist grappler across the way.

01:08:49Gamemaster:It makes a really nice arc.

01:08:51Gamemaster:and then it just barely arcs below the balcony,

01:08:58Gamemaster:swings further downward.

01:09:01Gamemaster:The rope catches on the hanging bit of the catwalk.

01:09:05Gamemaster:The grappling hook swings back up

01:09:07Gamemaster:and firmly locks into place on the catwalk itself.

01:09:11Gamemaster:So now your wrist grappler is,

01:09:13Gamemaster:you're standing at the top, you shot it down,

01:09:16Gamemaster:it went around and then latched back onto the hanging catwalk

01:09:19Gamemaster:on the other side.

01:09:21Gamemaster:what do you what do you mean and you shoot sorry which side of the which side are you on are you

01:09:25Argyle:Move aside, bird, and I shoot.

01:09:25Benny:I don't see it.

01:09:25Anzu:Is that going to help?

01:09:35Argyle:I can't shoot from my side?

01:09:36Gamemaster:hanging on the platform or are you from the balcony oh you're on the balcony you're shooting

01:09:39Argyle:Yeah.

01:09:40Gamemaster:it over. Okay, similarly, ranged simple attack, which for you, I guess you already know your

01:09:51Gamemaster:mod you also have a plus 11 plus your strength Whatever that is So it should be a 14

01:09:52Argyle:I just use my simple weapon.

01:09:55Argyle:Oh everything says I have 15 on here Oh

01:09:55Anzu:you Is it 15 because of some kind of rune progression

01:10:05Gamemaster:What do you mean?

01:10:07Argyle:Oh, maybe these are not range.

01:10:12Argyle:Oh, maybe that's why everything else got 15.

01:10:14Argyle:I don't know.

01:10:14Argyle:You can give it a 14.

01:10:15Argyle:I don't care.

01:10:16Argyle:Oh, my battle axe gauntlet and fist will have 15.

01:10:18Argyle:It's probably a rune.

01:10:19Gamemaster:What'd you get?

01:10:23Argyle:27.

01:10:25Argyle:With the minus one added after.

01:10:25Gamemaster:27.

01:10:29Gamemaster:Okay, yeah, that's totally fine.

01:10:32Gamemaster:It shoots across and then latches onto...

01:10:36Gamemaster:What were you actually aiming for?

01:10:38Gamemaster:Anzu?

01:10:40Argyle:Something that would have held it.

01:10:42Argyle:I don't think Anji would hold it.

01:10:43Gamemaster:No, it wouldn't.

01:10:45Argyle:Yeah.

01:10:45Argyle:Yeah.

01:10:46Gamemaster:Like, it can latch onto the bit that the...

01:10:48Gamemaster:Like, one of the railings on the side

01:10:51Gamemaster:that had originally been connected to the catwalk.

01:10:52Gamemaster:There isn't a lot of room to stand on the other side.

01:10:55Argyle:Is it lower?

01:10:55Benny:You can do the thing.

01:10:57Gamemaster:There's a lip that's like three feet out.

01:10:59Gamemaster:You could fit maybe two of you.

01:11:01Gamemaster:No, it's the same height.

01:11:03Argyle:Okay.

01:11:04Gamemaster:There was originally at one point a bridge that connected where you were and is hanging now.

01:11:05Argyle:Yeah.

01:11:11Gamemaster:But you have a rope across now.

01:11:12Argyle:How do we even do this?

01:11:17Argyle:What was the point of this rope?

01:11:18Argyle:Am I supposed to tight walk around this?

01:11:22Gamemaster:okay so before you do anything Anzu flew over he's on the other side of the platform

01:11:25Argyle:Oh yeah, I can try that.

01:11:25Benny:You should also have a snap leaf.

01:11:27Argyle:Good thing I have airwalk prepared if I fall.

01:11:32Benny:Fair point.

01:11:33Argyle:Yeah, but I'd prefer to not see what's at the bottom of this first.

01:11:46Argyle:Yeah.

01:11:47Gamemaster:who else is on the other side of the platform no one yet

01:11:50Gamemaster:Johnny okay

01:11:52Gamemaster:there is no more room outside

01:11:54Gamemaster:of the uh outside of the platform

01:11:55Johnny:We're like flying around.

01:11:55Anzu:I'm going to fly down on

01:12:00Argyle:And I'll start trudging along.

01:12:00Benny:Same.

01:12:00Anzu:do my stupid grapple and I'll go back to the balcony to make space.

01:12:00Gamemaster:Yeah. Sure.

01:12:04Gamemaster:Okay.

01:12:08Gamemaster:Give me an athletics check.

01:12:09Argyle:And I'll use my...

01:12:11Argyle:Would this make it easier if I use my axe

01:12:13Argyle:to hold me to the rope as I...

01:12:16Gamemaster:No, I think if the rope were moving down an incline, you could use it as a zipline like that.

01:12:21Argyle:Okay.

01:12:22Gamemaster:I feel like using your axe just to hold on would just make it harder, because then I don't know how you're moving.

01:12:30Argyle:I don't know how to defend that position, so yeah.

01:12:30Benny:salmon ladder

01:12:30Johnny:Yeah.

01:12:30Gamemaster:Okay.

01:12:34Argyle:Yeah.

01:12:36Johnny:Yeah.

01:12:38Gamemaster:Yeah, I feel like it would not make your life easier.

01:12:42Argyle:You got me there.

01:12:43Johnny:Bouncing on a rope.

01:12:44Johnny:Just like.

01:12:48Gamemaster:Yeah, basically.

01:12:50Johnny:Off balance.

01:12:51Johnny:Really difficult.

01:12:52Johnny:Sam.

01:12:53Gamemaster:What'd you get?

01:12:53Argyle:Argyle, unlike all of you guys,

01:12:56Argyle:was also...

01:12:56Argyle:Actually, unlike half the party,

01:12:58Argyle:was also a child soldier.

01:13:00Benny:This is the athletics check.

01:13:00Johnny:Wow.

01:13:00Gamemaster:nice

01:13:00Argyle:So he did a lot of rope exercises and other PT.

01:13:05Argyle:So he got a crit 36.

01:13:08Gamemaster:um

01:13:09Gamemaster:the easiest

01:13:11Gamemaster:anyone has ever made

01:13:13Gamemaster:uh climbing over

01:13:16Gamemaster:uh hundreds of foot

01:13:18Gamemaster:long chasm just by

01:13:19Gamemaster:monkeying along a rope

01:13:21Gamemaster:argyle more agile than you guys would have

01:13:24Gamemaster:expected uh makes his way

01:13:25Gamemaster:over to the other side

01:13:26Argyle:Just want to call one thing out.

01:13:27Gamemaster:yeah

01:13:27Gamemaster:looking for a good spot yeah

01:13:28Argyle:Like Josh's situation, I too have Bailey's chair,

01:13:30Benny:Then you got a 29 to follow the rope

01:13:30Johnny:Johnny's ready.

01:13:32Argyle:and you can't see it, but Misha's there,

01:13:34Argyle:and Esty's now circling him.

01:13:39Gamemaster:Not making it look quite as easy Mostly probably because Benny arms are half the length as Argyle

01:13:42Argyle:Yeah, Argyle can wait for Benny before he opens the door.

01:13:45Argyle:But he's going to prep his shield in case something...

01:13:58Argyle:you and he he denser so

01:14:07Gamemaster:So he is dead, sir.

01:14:08Argyle:and argyle's no longer wearing plate so

01:14:12Gamemaster:He weighs as much as a full-grown man,

01:14:14Gamemaster:but he doesn't take as much space as a full-grown man.

01:14:20Gamemaster:So there's a bit more of a dip in the rope

01:14:24Gamemaster:as he makes his way across.

01:14:26Gamemaster:But he does, in fact, without real issue, make it.

01:14:31Gamemaster:And so now the two of you are standing on the lip

01:14:35Gamemaster:in front of the doorway,

01:14:37Gamemaster:and then the bird and the flying bard

01:14:42Gamemaster:are hanging out overhead.

01:14:49Gamemaster:To clarify something as well,

01:14:52Gamemaster:this door doesn't have a doorknob.

01:14:54Gamemaster:You're in the Strider, everything is like weird, steampunky, semi-half-not-futuristic.

01:14:55Argyle:Sorry, so what was the last part?

01:15:00Gamemaster:The door itself is two pieces of metal that meet at a central point,

01:15:07Gamemaster:and it looks like you stick your hand in between the two metal sheets and pull it to open it.

01:15:12Gamemaster:Just letting you know.

01:15:16Argyle:So there's no handle or is there a handle?

01:15:18Gamemaster:It's not really a handle, you're not turning a knob and swinging the door out or something like that.

01:15:23Gamemaster:you're effectively pushing one half of the door down and one half of the door up.

01:15:25Argyle:Can I just

01:15:29Argyle:take a look at this door?

01:15:32Gamemaster:Yeah.

01:15:34Argyle:Argyle doesn't like that this area's

01:15:36Argyle:fleshy.

01:15:38Argyle:So he's just seeing if this door is

01:15:41Argyle:is it fleshy?

01:15:42Argyle:It's soft. It's spongy. I don't like that.

01:15:42Gamemaster:Well, yeah, to clarify, I said elastic, not fleshy.

01:15:47Gamemaster:I don't know if those are necessarily the same.

01:15:47Argyle:Okay.

01:15:50Gamemaster:But yeah, you could do a little bit.

01:15:52Gamemaster:I mean, like, no role necessary.

01:15:53Argyle:Okay.

01:15:54Gamemaster:You could just put your hand on the wall on the door and see if it moves um yeah a little bit it a little elastic

01:15:55Argyle:Yeah That not great guys All right

01:15:55Benny:you Hello but you guys are taking too long

01:16:08Argyle:Benny, do you want to open the door?

01:16:09Argyle:Do you want me to?

01:16:12Gamemaster:Okay.

01:16:15Argyle:All right.

01:16:18Benny:Penny opens the door.

01:16:21Gamemaster:Betty puts his hands on the thing and pulls and pushes.

01:16:25Gamemaster:And there is a hissing sound as you open the door,

01:16:33Gamemaster:as if either some air is newly entering the interior

01:16:38Gamemaster:or some other non-air is escaping

01:16:43Gamemaster:as the two atmospheres, the exterior and the interior, mix.

01:16:48Gamemaster:But there's definitely the sound of some kind of gaseous movement.

01:16:52Gamemaster:Other than that, no perception check necessary

01:16:55Gamemaster:because the next room you're in is pretty small.

01:16:58Gamemaster:It's a 10 by 10 foot room.

01:17:03Gamemaster:Metal grating on the bottom, metal grating on the sides,

01:17:06Gamemaster:metal grating on top.

01:17:08Gamemaster:This is a metal, grainy-filled room.

01:17:11Gamemaster:The only noticeable thing here is there's a half-step up as you get a little bit into the room.

01:17:17Gamemaster:There is a door directly in front of you, also closed.

01:17:21Gamemaster:There is a door directly to your right, also closed.

01:17:24Gamemaster:And there's a whole lot of blood covering the floor,

01:17:25Argyle:Oh, no.

01:17:25Johnny:As we enter,

01:17:25Anzu:I don't know.

01:17:30Gamemaster:as if something was cut through or perhaps torn

01:17:33Gamemaster:and left some of their viscera while the rest of them went somewhere else.

01:17:39Gamemaster:Also, I would love it if you guys could go to https://btl.iridi.cc.

01:17:47Johnny:Johnny turns to Anzu and goes,

01:17:50Johnny:maybe we should have brought Egan.

01:17:51Johnny:that true he very big

01:17:52Anzu:He can't really fit in this room.

01:17:55Argyle:you He could have gone through the door

01:17:55Benny:Thank you what do you mean

01:17:55Anzu:I not sure he can get through the door

01:17:59Gamemaster:To clarify for those of you who are currently here if Egan were here

01:18:05Gamemaster:Oh.

01:18:07Johnny:It's loading for me.

01:18:08Anzu:Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

01:18:11Anzu:He can't fit through doors.

01:18:13Anzu:How does this man exist?

01:18:15Johnny:Wait, he was on a boat.

01:18:17Johnny:He was on a boat.

01:18:18Johnny:That was all he was just an open boat.

01:18:20Johnny:wow good thing we did not bring him this is

01:18:25Argyle:That's so fun.

01:18:25Benny:Oh, a sound.

01:18:25Anzu:What is happening?

01:18:26Johnny:oh no let me bring him back

01:18:27Gamemaster:I didn't mean to do that.

01:18:29Gamemaster:I hit the wrong button.

01:18:29Benny:Oh, no, it's opened.

01:18:30Gamemaster:I'm sorry.

01:18:30Benny:It's opened.

01:18:31Gamemaster:I don't know why it makes that sound.

01:18:33Gamemaster:It's going to make that sound every time I hit that button.

01:18:36Argyle:Okay.

01:18:37Gamemaster:But I can seal Odzu away from the rest of you.

01:18:39Anzu:Hello?

01:18:43Anzu:Hello?

01:18:45Anzu:Hello there!

01:18:45Benny:Did you learn anything?

01:18:47Gamemaster:Something interesting that I have just noticed is the Victor's Wreath effect

01:18:50Johnny:We got two doors.

01:18:52Gamemaster:only applies to creatures that can see Johnny.

01:18:55Argyle:OK.

01:18:55Benny:Fair enough.

01:18:55Anzu:well

01:18:56Gamemaster:So if, say, a door closes between a group that's with Johnny

01:19:01Gamemaster:and a group that's without, the group that's without will no longer have the buff.

01:19:06Gamemaster:That's interesting.

01:19:06Anzu:great

01:19:10Gamemaster:That's something I've just noticed.

01:19:13Gamemaster:But it is a good time.

01:19:13Argyle:Alright. So what are we trying to find?

01:19:18Anzu:well we want to get the strider moving

01:19:19Argyle:Why are we here? OK.

01:19:20Johnny:Which...

01:19:21Anzu:I don't know

01:19:23Johnny:Does the blood go through one of the doors?

01:19:25Argyle:Okay, are we trying to go to the

01:19:26Gamemaster:There is more blood towards the door that heads forward north.

01:19:31Gamemaster:than the door that heads to the right.

01:19:36Johnny:Whatever...

01:19:37Argyle:What was the term

01:19:39Argyle:Machine Gun gave us? It wasn't mantle.

01:19:41Argyle:It was

01:19:41Argyle:Wasn't there a term for like

01:19:45Anzu:he had a term for

01:19:47Argyle:steering it or something like that?

01:19:50Argyle:Or no. I thought he

01:19:51Argyle:Never mind.

01:19:51Anzu:There may be...

01:19:52Gamemaster:I don't remember giving you one, but maybe.

01:19:55Argyle:Are we looking for like the bridge or something?

01:19:55Anzu:Argyle, can you...

01:20:00Argyle:so the reason i was asking is i thought we knew what

01:20:00Anzu:Yeah, there probably is a bridge.

01:20:02Anzu:Yeah.

01:20:06Argyle:there was something to steered or something because uh

01:20:10Argyle:uh

01:20:10Anzu:Yeah, so I went and flew to the top of the spire.

01:20:10Argyle:yeah i brought

01:20:15Anzu:There were no controls there.

01:20:18Anzu:It's just the gyroscope.

01:20:20Anzu:So I'm assuming there's controls in here.

01:20:21Argyle:i brought this spell to try to find the way because i thought we were going to like

01:20:28Argyle:something but uh

01:20:30Johnny:I guess we want the bridge.

01:20:30Anzu:Can you...

01:20:30Argyle:I don't know what to set it to

01:20:33Argyle:we're going to like the navigation center

01:20:38Argyle:yeah

01:20:42Johnny:There's a bridge.

01:20:44Argyle:uh

01:20:47Argyle:should we just follow the blood

01:20:52Argyle:path that's probably

01:20:53Argyle:I think there might have been like a living being or

01:20:54Johnny:I feel like

01:20:54Anzu:Whoa.

01:20:56Argyle:heart that was driving this that now got ripped out.

01:20:59Anzu:Can you assess the age of this blood or any other qualities about this blood?

01:21:00Benny:Does Benny's blood sense go off?

01:21:00Johnny:And he sensed it.

01:21:00Gamemaster:Yeah.

01:21:03Anzu:Okay.

01:21:04Argyle:Can I make a medicine check?

01:21:08Argyle:Excellent.

01:21:18Gamemaster:Betty has blood sense?

01:21:19Benny:Mm-hmm.

01:21:21Gamemaster:Yeah, there's blood on the ground.

01:21:24Benny:Guys, there's blood.

01:21:26Gamemaster:How does your blood sense work, I suppose?

01:21:26Argyle:I got a crit 39

01:21:30Benny:An imprecise sense for the range of 15 feet

01:21:30Gamemaster:You detect that there's fresh blood on the floor.

01:21:35Benny:allows you to sense the presence of creatures

01:21:36Benny:living or dead that have blood

01:21:38Benny:This includes most creatures that aren't immune to bleed

01:21:42Benny:You're similarly able to detect the presence of

01:21:44Benny:fresh blood in volumes of one pint or more

01:21:47Benny:so long as it's no more than 24 hours old

01:21:49Benny:That goes up to 15 oh

01:21:54Anzu:Holy Holy

01:21:57Gamemaster:Crit 39 Okay You get more information than Johnny than Benny blood sense

01:22:07Gamemaster:So, with a crit, there are a few things interesting about this blood.

01:22:13Gamemaster:First, obvious to anybody who spends a little bit of time looking at it,

01:22:18Gamemaster:the blood is bubbling slightly, almost like it's boiling.

01:22:24Gamemaster:It doesn't seem to be hot, but it does seem like it's boiling ever so slightly.

01:22:25Argyle:He's a doctor.

01:22:29Gamemaster:It is also not uniformly red.

01:22:32Gamemaster:There are streaks of blue through it.

01:22:35Gamemaster:And you can smell a...

01:22:40Gamemaster:Argyle has smelled blood before, just by virtue of he's encountered a lot of blood in the past.

01:22:47Argyle:He's a doctor.

01:22:48Gamemaster:He's a doctor.

01:22:49Gamemaster:um normal humanoid blood tends to be uh irony um smelling like it's got that kind of metallic

01:22:55Argyle:Okay.

01:22:59Gamemaster:smell to it it smells specifically of iron uh this has a more coppery smell uh which is

01:23:06Gamemaster:uh an interesting distinction to make because it's just another metal in the blood uh but it is

01:23:12Gamemaster:distinct um and without a rule you would note that the harlequins themselves do happen to have a

01:23:18Gamemaster:sulfurous and coppery smell to them.

01:23:24Gamemaster:Excuse me.

01:23:25Argyle:Oh, magically dense blood.

01:23:26Gamemaster:The third thing that you notice also on that crit is the blood is not caustic, as best

01:23:35Gamemaster:you can tell.

01:23:35Gamemaster:It is blood.

01:23:36Gamemaster:It does the job that blood normally does.

01:23:39Gamemaster:But in the areas where it has pooled, the floor itself seems to have a bit of a divot

01:23:47Gamemaster:in it

01:23:48Gamemaster:as if it's

01:23:49Gamemaster:sinking

01:23:50Gamemaster:or being

01:23:50Gamemaster:pressed down

01:23:51Gamemaster:in some way

01:23:53Gamemaster:okay you can do that There isn quite enough to get three vials of it especially given that it on the floor

01:23:55Argyle:I will start collecting some samples Can I grab three vials

01:23:55Benny:are magically constant

01:24:07Argyle:Uh huh.

01:24:10Gamemaster:But I will say, given the volume of blood that's here and the fact that you haven't seen a body,

01:24:12Argyle:Uh huh.

01:24:16Gamemaster:I don't think Argyle is worried about encountering more blood before the day is over.

01:24:17Argyle:Uh huh.

01:24:22Argyle:Alright, gentlemen, let's press forward.

01:24:25Benny:This door on the right.

01:24:25Johnny:Right.

01:24:25Anzu:towards the blood

01:24:25Gamemaster:Okay.

01:24:28Johnny:Sounds better.

01:24:31Johnny:Yeah.

01:24:32Anzu:this door up here

01:24:33Anzu:alright

01:24:35Argyle:Yeah.

01:24:37Anzu:open it

01:24:37Johnny:4.

01:24:39Gamemaster:Can I have you guys order yourselves

01:24:41Gamemaster:in how you would be when the doors opened?

01:24:43Gamemaster:I just want to get into that habit.

01:24:45Gamemaster:I think that might be fun.

01:24:48Gamemaster:The door that you're planning on opening,

01:24:49Gamemaster:whichever door that is,

01:24:50Argyle:Which is the one with the blood?

01:24:52Gamemaster:the top one.

01:24:52Argyle:Okay.

01:24:55Benny:of course i expect nothing less

01:24:55Johnny:Yeah.

01:24:55Gamemaster:Okay.

01:24:55Argyle:Hey, we might want to do a buddy system in case some of us get separated.

01:25:02Johnny:Okay.

01:25:03Johnny:Bird and bard.

01:25:06Johnny:Man and child.

01:25:06Gamemaster:Okay.

01:25:09Argyle:Okay.

01:25:09Gamemaster:Can I get a perception check from Benny as this door opens?

01:25:10Argyle:Ooh.

01:25:11Argyle:how are we opening these doors again

01:25:12Gamemaster:yes they are in halves you put your hands on the center and then you need to physically push it up

01:25:22Argyle:are they in halves and we got to open them like that

01:25:24Argyle:or

01:25:25Benny:34.

01:25:25Anzu:Terribly inconvenient doors.

01:25:25Argyle:hmm

01:25:29Gamemaster:and down it doesn't require a lot of force but it requires both hands

01:25:34Gamemaster:uh 34 absolutely um you open the door in front of you and at almost the same time with the 34

01:25:46Gamemaster:you hear the sound of a oops that was the wrong button ignore that i don't know why that's as

01:25:50Benny:Jesus Christ.

01:25:52Gamemaster:loud as that is i sorry i don know how to make it quieter um yeah there sound effects The door in front of you opens to reveal a kind of

01:25:52Benny:This is jump scares.

01:25:55Johnny:We got sound effects now hmm

01:26:05Gamemaster:common area. At the same

01:26:07Gamemaster:time as that door opening, you hear the sound of another

01:26:09Gamemaster:door in

01:26:10Gamemaster:this room close it.

01:26:13Gamemaster:And with a 34, you

01:26:15Gamemaster:know it's the door on the left

01:26:16Gamemaster:as it closes as if something has

01:26:18Gamemaster:exited the room as soon as you entered.

01:26:21Gamemaster:The room in front of you, covered in

01:26:22Gamemaster:more blood, yet somehow

01:26:24Gamemaster:still, um, missing bodies. Uh, you don't see the bodies of anything here.

01:26:32Gamemaster:Uh, with the 34, though, uh, just to note, the room, the room is as it looks to you,

01:26:37Gamemaster:um, although you'd have to step in to fully get a good view. Uh, there is a door on the left,

01:26:42Gamemaster:that's the door that you heard close. There's a door on the right that leads to some other area.

01:26:46Gamemaster:And with a 34, you note that the walls in this room are ever so slightly undulating.

01:26:55Argyle:yeah um

01:26:55Johnny:So, whatever's at the center of this is a crazy, freaky, reality-distorting heebie-jeebie.

01:26:55Anzu:It's getting worse.

01:26:57Gamemaster:They are moving back and forth.

01:27:09Argyle:quick question when i assume benny's gonna go in if benny does go in can argyle position himself

01:27:16Gamemaster:yeah that's a pretty good idea i will let you do it

01:27:18Argyle:like put a shield in between the doors it's a steel shield to try to like

01:27:25Argyle:Make sure to put that there, let his friends go in and then try pulling it out so he doesn't like close on them.

01:27:30Argyle:That's his idea.

01:27:33Argyle:OK.

01:27:34Gamemaster:uh i what's gonna happen is if a door would ever close and separate the two of you because you're

01:27:41Gamemaster:ready i will allow you to make a reflex check the dc will be relatively low because argyle is

01:27:46Gamemaster:prepared.

01:27:47Argyle:Cool, cool.

01:27:51Argyle:So I'll do that, wait for my friends to go through and then pull it out.

01:27:54Gamemaster:Absolutely.

01:27:55Gamemaster:You are safe in this particular instance.

01:27:57Gamemaster:It seems that this complex is not trying to separate you as

01:28:00Argyle:What is this? Anything else about this room?

01:28:00Gamemaster:yet. So this room itself seems to be a kind of like common area, living room,

01:28:03Argyle:I only need to read the words of the holy judge

01:28:08Gamemaster:meeting area. It seems that at one time there it was used as a kind of

01:28:13Gamemaster:intermediary office pass-through space. There are some pages on the floor

01:28:18Gamemaster:strewn throughout, it looks like somebody was doing work here at some point,

01:28:21Gamemaster:although a lot of it is covered up by the gore that is now spread throughout

01:28:25Gamemaster:the room.

01:28:30Johnny:We going in?

01:28:30Anzu:I can look at these papers, yeah.

01:28:30Gamemaster:Well, you guys gotta go in.

01:28:30Argyle:if someone else would like to pollute their minds

01:28:32Argyle:it'd be great

01:28:32Argyle:Argyle holds his axe

01:28:36Anzu:Let's file in.

01:28:43Argyle:ready to swing

01:28:45Argyle:if Anzu goes crazy

01:28:47Argyle:Anzu doesn't think that'll happen

01:28:50Argyle:but Anzu's like this could be heretics

01:28:52Gamemaster:It could happen.

01:28:52Argyle:let's see I'll go in

01:28:53Gamemaster:Benny is in the way

01:28:57Argyle:Benny gotta move

01:29:00Benny:You can tumble through.

01:29:00Johnny:Oh.

01:29:00Anzu:Papers, please.

01:29:00Gamemaster:Benny's just standing there

01:29:02Argyle:This is a cool map, Josh.

01:29:05Gamemaster:you guys can't get in

01:29:06Benny:Yeah.

01:29:06Gamemaster:yeah

01:29:10Gamemaster:um

01:29:18Argyle:Oh.

01:29:20Gamemaster:okay

01:29:22Gamemaster:I would love

01:29:24Gamemaster:God what kind of thing am I going to make you roll

01:29:26Gamemaster:to look at these papers

01:29:27Gamemaster:I think probably Arcana which is our

01:29:30Johnny:I shall aid him in his quest.

01:29:30Anzu:I guess, I mean, my arcana is better, so I'll just do that.

01:29:30Gamemaster:best

01:29:32Gamemaster:thing for

01:29:34Gamemaster:just intelligence

01:29:36Gamemaster:I think it's you know what

01:29:38Gamemaster:it's going to be either Arcana or Society

01:29:40Gamemaster:would be the things that fit best here

01:29:42Gamemaster:okay

01:29:43Gamemaster:because you live in one Okay

01:29:51Anzu:But I have decent society.

01:29:55Anzu:Epic We live in a society I got a 35 depending on if the 30 aid does anything

01:30:00Johnny:Thank you I got it Plus one

01:30:08Gamemaster:Oh, Johnny got a 38.

01:30:10Gamemaster:That will be a success.

01:30:12Gamemaster:So you get plus...

01:30:14Gamemaster:What are you?

01:30:15Johnny:Yeah, if it's just a regular success to plus one, if it's a grid, it's big.

01:30:15Gamemaster:Just plus one.

01:30:19Anzu:That means I get a 36.

01:30:22Gamemaster:Okay.

01:30:23Gamemaster:Okay.

01:30:23Gamemaster:with a 36.

01:30:25Anzu:Mm-hmm.

01:30:28Gamemaster:The pages at one time

01:30:30Gamemaster:were likely parts of their own individual stacks

01:30:33Gamemaster:stapled together with...

01:30:38Gamemaster:Yeah, I guess it's the 1960s.

01:30:39Gamemaster:They would have just had staples.

01:30:40Gamemaster:Stapled together with staples.

01:30:42Gamemaster:But whatever happened in here

01:30:44Gamemaster:has made a mess of the place.

01:30:47Gamemaster:So you have a lot of individual fragments

01:30:49Gamemaster:of what appear to have been different reports

01:30:52Gamemaster:and the like that someone was going through.

01:30:55Gamemaster:And you kind of have to work to piece together what any of them were.

01:31:02Gamemaster:This is too exciting.

01:31:04Gamemaster:You're just reading things.

01:31:09Gamemaster:So some of the reports, some of the pages that you pick up

01:31:15Gamemaster:are pretty obviously topological maps or hydrological maps.

01:31:20Gamemaster:They are not of anywhere that is immediately familiar to you, but they are clearly some kind of geological survey of an area.

01:31:32Gamemaster:You need to do a bit more research to try and place them somewhere, but you have those.

01:31:37Gamemaster:You have a mysterious geological survey.

01:31:39Gamemaster:You have a half-torn-up, blood-splattered piece of paper

01:31:46Gamemaster:that looks to be a series of dates

01:31:51Gamemaster:and a number a pretty high number with an S on the end that you would immediately recognize as this is a date and then a world on the infinite horizon starward And you can see that it starts the first date on the

01:32:10Gamemaster:page that you can see, which isn't the first on the page because of the way that it's torn, but

01:32:14Gamemaster:the first one that's visible is about seven years ago, and it is... oh, I have the actual number...

01:32:25Gamemaster:It is seven years ago, and it is star 3,415,612.

01:32:37Gamemaster:Which you, being the learned scholar that you are, knows is about a million and a half more starward than the location of the wall in that direction.

01:32:50Gamemaster:So this is uncharted territory.

01:32:53Gamemaster:And then you can see as you move further down the list of dates, they get closer and closer to the present day.

01:32:55Anzu:Mm-hmm.

01:33:02Gamemaster:There's a new logline approximately once every six months or so, up until six months ago when it hits zero, which you would recognize as fair and prime.

01:33:17Gamemaster:it does

01:33:18Anzu:So the number goes downward, like it trends downward over time.

01:33:23Gamemaster:it does

01:33:24Anzu:Mm-hmm.

01:33:24Gamemaster:the piece of paper

01:33:25Argyle:Was it originally starward Wall or voidward Wall?

01:33:25Anzu:starward.

01:33:34Anzu:starward.

01:33:37Gamemaster:is past the starward wall

01:33:39Gamemaster:it's very far starward and it keeps moving

01:33:40Argyle:It's the Ashen Pact.

01:33:41Gamemaster:starward towards

01:33:43Gamemaster:zero

01:33:43Anzu:Six months ago.

01:33:44Gamemaster:yeah

01:33:47Gamemaster:yes

01:33:48Argyle:Yeah, Ashen Pact stuff.

01:33:49Gamemaster:the third bit of scrap that you find search it around because you had a pretty good roll is more a It a requisitionary form It a request for

01:33:55Anzu:you I have a couple

01:34:12Gamemaster:God, what languages do you speak?

01:34:16Gamemaster:I know you have a couple.

01:34:16Anzu:I have a couple.

01:34:16Anzu:Herborg Lumen Susuric Earthrum

01:34:23Anzu:Common Nintengu

01:34:25Gamemaster:Okay, um, there is a, um, the word itself is not something in a language that you speak,

01:34:39Gamemaster:but it is in a flavor of a language you speak.

01:34:43Gamemaster:It's the Old English equivalent of Earthrum, which is crazy because Earthrum is already

01:34:46Anzu:Mm-hmm.

01:34:49Gamemaster:the old dead language that no one speaks anymore.

01:34:52Gamemaster:but it is close enough that you can recognize it.

01:34:55Argyle:Oh, my God.

01:34:56Gamemaster:I think if you were to sound out the sounds of it,

01:34:59Gamemaster:it would sound like flugistim.

01:35:04Gamemaster:And it is this requisitionary form,

01:35:08Gamemaster:the in the box request,

01:35:10Gamemaster:it is a request for more fuel for the spire.

01:35:13Gamemaster:And then it's requesting three barrels of this flugistim.

01:35:16Anzu:Does this have a date on it?

01:35:18Gamemaster:gist him.

01:35:21Gamemaster:You can't tell if the request

01:35:22Gamemaster:was approved or not.

01:35:25Argyle:Hey, I know all this blood is kind of fun, but does anyone have like prestidigitation to get rid of it?

01:35:25Johnny:Oh yeah.

01:35:26Anzu:Okay.

01:35:26Gamemaster:It might,

01:35:28Gamemaster:but it's covered in blood.

01:35:29Gamemaster:I have to read what

01:35:30Anzu:Yeah, I was going to say.

01:35:44Johnny:I clean very small amounts of it very slowly.

01:35:46Anzu:Yeah, does that work on the paper?

01:35:49Anzu:Like, can...

01:35:51Gamemaster:presentation does

01:35:53Gamemaster:it's been so long since somebody's used a cantrip

01:35:55Johnny:.

01:35:55Gamemaster:like that

01:35:56Gamemaster:um

01:35:57Gamemaster:co-op

01:36:00Gamemaster:Clean or soil an object of light, bulk or less?

01:36:03Gamemaster:Okay, so I think the answer here is...

01:36:11Gamemaster:The cantrip cannot be used to make paper that had been permanently ruined by being soaked in blood legible,

01:36:22Gamemaster:because that sets a silly precedent.

01:36:25Gamemaster:But I like the idea of using it right here, so I will give it to you.

01:36:29Gamemaster:This particular requisitionary form you do manage to clean off, it was requested about 10 months ago, and it was denied due to shortages.

01:36:30Argyle:Okay.

01:36:30Johnny:Does it have any names on it?

01:36:30Anzu:Why are they using this language?

01:36:45Gamemaster:No, it does not.

01:36:50Argyle:Okay.

01:36:51Argyle:Let's...

01:36:54Anzu:Wait, is this whole form in old Earthrum, or was it just that word for...

01:36:59Gamemaster:That particular word

01:37:00Johnny:Amen.

01:37:05Gamemaster:it would have been

01:37:08Gamemaster:some strange word that you didn't know what it was

01:37:09Anzu:Okay.

01:37:10Gamemaster:but because you speak Earthworm you could figure out

01:37:12Gamemaster:like how it's pronounced

01:37:14Gamemaster:and all that kind of stuff

01:37:15Gamemaster:Correct

01:37:15Anzu:So it's almost like there wasn't a word for this thing, so they just used the word they could.

01:37:24Gamemaster:It's a loan word I suppose

01:37:24Anzu:crazy

01:37:27Anzu:this word has a certain

01:37:29Gamemaster:It's canonical to this setting.

01:37:29Anzu:je ne sais quoi to it you guys

01:37:30Benny:I don't know what I don't know

01:37:30Johnny:French, canonical.

01:37:34Johnny:John in France speaks Earthrum.

01:37:36Johnny:Is that a real language?

01:37:38Johnny:Is that canonical to this setting,

01:37:42Johnny:or is that like a Pathfinder language?

01:37:45Gamemaster:It's not a Pathfinder thing.

01:37:48Johnny:Gotcha.

01:37:51Argyle:Which door has more blood?

01:37:53Gamemaster:The left one.

01:37:54Gamemaster:The one that closed when you entered In fact I will note the blood on the ground here is pretty fresh

01:37:54Anzu:Yeah something right there Oh my god

01:37:56Argyle:Let go

01:37:56Johnny:All right All right

01:38:00Benny:Thank you housekeeping

01:38:06Johnny:Do we want to gear up and get ready before we jump in?

01:38:12Gamemaster:Hmm.

01:38:15Argyle:Ready my shield.

01:38:17Argyle:I don't want to prep too much because I don't know when this which door it's going to be our lucky friend.

01:38:22Johnny:It's true.

01:38:22Johnny:Everyone just, Johnny just puts his fists up like this, very wide, leaving his face unguarded.

01:38:25Argyle:I could.

01:38:25Benny:what shall Benny draw

01:38:28Johnny:Wait, wait, what's one status bonus is this?

01:38:33Benny:they're already out

01:38:39Benny:the falcata and the

01:38:41Benny:hook thord

01:38:43Benny:yeah

01:38:47Argyle:

01:38:49Argyle:I could set up a benediction.

01:38:51Argyle:one minute

01:38:52Johnny:How long does that guy last?

01:38:55Benny:Mm-hmm.

01:38:55Gamemaster:Okay.

01:38:55Argyle:let's just go

01:38:58Argyle:I have two benedictions but I agree

01:38:58Johnny:Yeah, I would hate for you to waste that.

01:39:03Argyle:let's go

01:39:09Gamemaster:You are walking up to this door and opening it.

01:39:11Gamemaster:You guys are comfortable with the positions that you're currently in?

01:39:16Argyle:wait

01:39:17Argyle:John Benneke get close to that door

01:39:18Argyle:or is that the closest that works

01:39:19Benny:Nope.

01:39:20Argyle:Okay.

01:39:21Benny:I can do this.

01:39:22Benny:well I don't know if this is

01:39:23Argyle:I'll do that.

01:39:25Gamemaster:it's not intended but if it lets you do it that's fine

01:39:26Benny:okay

01:39:30Gamemaster:that counts you're pressed up against the door as close as you can get

01:39:34Gamemaster:um okay uh you guys are set up benny is opening the door

01:39:41Gamemaster:benny once again i need a perception check for you as the door opens

01:39:47Benny:perfect

01:39:50Argyle:Just shame Benny isn't small so I could see over him.

01:39:52Benny:It supposed to mean Just push to me

01:39:55Gamemaster:with a 21 okay the only thing you see uh and this is fine because it probably the only thing that

01:40:05Gamemaster:important at the moment is as you open up the door uh directly in front of you is a

01:40:11Gamemaster:uh harlequin or at one time a harlequin uh it is um well it's weird first of all it's misshapen

01:40:22Gamemaster:in a way that the Harlequins were generally humanoid.

01:40:25Gamemaster:This one isn't.

01:40:26Gamemaster:It's got weird joints that have been bent in wrong angles at its limbs.

01:40:32Gamemaster:Its back is kind of twisted as if the whole upper torso has been rearranged slightly.

01:40:38Gamemaster:Its mask is kind of melding.

01:40:41Gamemaster:You don't know if the masks were a part of their body or not before,

01:40:44Gamemaster:but it definitely is now.

01:40:46Gamemaster:It almost seems like it's fused and kind of pressed into the bone of its face.

01:40:51Gamemaster:it is missing

01:40:53Gamemaster:no, actually missing is the wrong term

01:40:56Gamemaster:it looks like its leg is clipping through the floor

01:40:59Gamemaster:is the best way of putting it

01:41:01Gamemaster:like the floor kind of descends downward

01:41:03Gamemaster:and its leg just goes through it

01:41:06Gamemaster:at first thinking that it's like it just punched through the floor

01:41:09Gamemaster:but it shifts as the door opens

01:41:11Gamemaster:and you watch as the leg moves through the floor

01:41:14Gamemaster:as if the divot and the spot that it goes into

01:41:18Gamemaster:is just a physical phenomenon around it.

01:41:21Gamemaster:It is also, notably, held in both hands

01:41:25Benny:We're going to have turn-based negotiations.

01:41:25Johnny:These are our terms.

01:41:25Anzu:No, but we brought the talker, Josh,

01:41:25Gamemaster:is what appears to be the corpse of another Harlequin.

01:41:29Gamemaster:Its mask mouth is unhinged,

01:41:33Gamemaster:and half of the Harlequin is just getting stuffed into its face.

01:41:37Gamemaster:There is a crunch,

01:41:39Gamemaster:and I think I need you to roll initiative.

01:41:41Gamemaster:yeah you could have turn-based negotiations

01:41:45Anzu:so we're actually going to talk to...

01:41:47Anzu:laughing

01:41:50Anzu:laughing

01:41:51Gamemaster:that's fine

01:41:51Anzu:laughing

01:41:52Gamemaster:you you know what I will because Johnny here

01:41:55Argyle:you I know this is unorthodox but can I roll a will save

01:41:55Benny:Rock paper scissors

01:41:55Johnny:Josh since we doing negotiations can I roll diplomacy No

01:42:05Gamemaster:Johnny can roll diplomacy.

01:42:07Gamemaster:You have a minus five to that roll if you choose to do it,

01:42:10Gamemaster:but you can do it.

01:42:16Argyle:as my initiative because that's

01:42:18Argyle:fucking terrible

01:42:19Argyle:laughing

01:42:21Gamemaster:No.

01:42:25Benny:Two that we can vaguely see.

01:42:25Johnny:Guys, I can't see. What's happening?

01:42:25Anzu:Hell yeah, low rolls except Benny.

01:42:25Gamemaster:Oh, oh, no.

01:42:39Anzu:Oh no.

01:42:40Johnny:Oh, there's two of these guys?

01:42:47Gamemaster:Only Benny can see the second one at the moment.

01:42:50Benny:Oh.

01:42:51Benny:Denny will turn around in the middle of everyone.

01:42:55Benny:Two that we can vaguely see.

01:42:55Johnny:I can't see anything.

01:42:55Anzu:wait

01:42:55Gamemaster:uh-huh

01:42:58Anzu:ok

01:42:58Johnny:You're not a small creature.

01:42:59Anzu:I need to ask Josh

01:43:00Johnny:What are we talking about?

01:43:01Johnny:What are we talking about?

01:43:01Johnny:What are we talking about?

01:43:03Anzu:they have

01:43:04Gamemaster:yes it is

01:43:05Anzu:monikers in front

01:43:06Anzu:is that just the random

01:43:08Anzu:thing that

01:43:10Anzu:so this guy happens to be called Hungry

01:43:10Benny:Oh.

01:43:10Gamemaster:no i kept rolling it until hungry came up

01:43:12Anzu:and we saw him eating

01:43:13Anzu:ok

01:43:17Gamemaster:what's weird is the vast majority of the random adjectives are like positives and i had to keep

01:43:18Anzu:ok

01:43:25Benny:happy corrupted harlequin

01:43:26Gamemaster:drag it out nope go away drag it out nope go away yeah um the first one that i got was lethargic

01:43:34Benny:the whole fight we just be looking

01:43:37Gamemaster:and the second one was euphoric and that stood out to me because neither of those are really

01:43:43Gamemaster:necessarily things that I was looking for

01:43:45Gamemaster:but

01:43:47Gamemaster:yeah

01:43:50Benny:like when is he gonna do

01:43:52Benny:the thing like greedy corrupted

01:43:54Benny:Harlequin, when's he going to show his greedy

01:43:55Johnny:Bye.

01:43:56Benny:side? When's he going to take some of our money?

01:43:58Benny:What's going on?

01:44:00Benny:Oh,

01:44:00Gamemaster:What is this one?

01:44:08Gamemaster:It is the Corrupted Harlequin's turn first.

01:44:14Gamemaster:I think it's going to start with a Jaws attack on you.

01:44:23Gamemaster:Because, I mean, what else would it do, you know?

01:44:30Benny:it's

01:44:30Anzu:No, we cannot.

01:44:30Gamemaster:Hungry. 34? Excellent.

01:44:34Benny:yeah

01:44:37Gamemaster:16 points of damage split between piercing and spirit.

01:44:46Gamemaster:Also, can you attempt this Fortitude save against the Abyssal Plague for me, please?

01:44:50Gamemaster:Can you see that it's against the Abyssal Plague? I don't know what it renders as for you guys.

01:44:51Benny:it just shows 42

01:45:00Benny:to this

01:45:00Gamemaster:That's fine.

01:45:02Benny:uh actually wait

01:45:03Gamemaster:A 27.

01:45:06Gamemaster:Okay.

01:45:07Benny:um

01:45:09Gamemaster:Okay.

01:45:09Benny:I don't think anything is going to run at us

01:45:11Benny:so I will use

01:45:12Benny:nanite surge

01:45:15Benny:I'm attempting a skill

01:45:19Benny:oh wait I can use it as

01:45:21Benny:the protective subroutine I can use it as a saving throw

01:45:23Benny:so it is a 29

01:45:24Benny:um

01:45:26Gamemaster:A 29.

01:45:28Gamemaster:Absolutely.

01:45:28Gamemaster:That brings it from a failure to a success.

01:45:30Argyle:That is high.

01:45:30Benny:Yeah, but it's in front of me.

01:45:30Johnny:Nice.

01:45:30Anzu:Oh, big.

01:45:34Argyle:That's a high DC.

01:45:34Anzu:Big use.

01:45:35Johnny:Jeez.

01:45:36Gamemaster:Absolutely.

01:45:38Benny:

01:45:41Gamemaster:You succeed, so you are not abysmally plagued.

01:45:46Benny:It's close.

01:45:47Gamemaster:That is one action.

01:45:51Gamemaster:So we going to do a second action which is a shadow blast um okay uh Shadow Blast Okay

01:46:00Argyle:you Okay

01:46:00Benny:Mm Mm hmm

01:46:07Gamemaster:Do I choose a 50-foot line?

01:46:10Gamemaster:I think I have to,

01:46:11Gamemaster:because a cone wouldn't hit Johnny and Anzu anyway

01:46:14Gamemaster:because of the doorway.

01:46:16Gamemaster:So just Benny and Argyle.

01:46:18Gamemaster:You watch as the mouth hung open,

01:46:23Gamemaster:the corpse of the harlequin it was eating

01:46:25Argyle:Where.

01:46:25Gamemaster:collapses to the ground

01:46:26Gamemaster:it reaches forward

01:46:28Gamemaster:its neck elongating

01:46:30Gamemaster:as it tries to take a chomp out of Benny

01:46:33Gamemaster:and when it reaches back

01:46:34Gamemaster:its mouth further unhinges

01:46:37Gamemaster:and you can see inside

01:46:39Gamemaster:this swirling purple

01:46:41Gamemaster:familiar looking energy

01:46:43Gamemaster:as it bursts out

01:46:46Gamemaster:in a line

01:46:46Gamemaster:and so I need Benny and Argyle

01:46:50Gamemaster:to make

01:46:50Gamemaster:he wouldn't know anything about you yet

01:46:55Argyle:Is this trigger?

01:46:55Benny:It's the target's choice.

01:46:55Johnny:Oh, the deadlights?

01:46:55Anzu:What are the things inside of its mouth called?

01:46:55Gamemaster:we'll make it reflex saves

01:46:56Gamemaster:oh it's the target's choice

01:47:01Gamemaster:okay choose either reflex or will

01:47:07Benny:Teeth.

01:47:10Gamemaster:what?

01:47:11Gamemaster:teeth?

01:47:11Anzu:Pennywise, I mean.

01:47:13Benny:Teeth.

01:47:14Gamemaster:uh

01:47:14Benny:Teeth.

01:47:14Gamemaster:what?

01:47:14Anzu:Yeah.

01:47:16Johnny:Oh, God, it's the deadlights.

01:47:17Argyle:Does this trigger a divine countermeasures?

01:47:20Gamemaster:This has the concentrate, manipulate, occult, and shadow traits.

01:47:25Argyle:okay

01:47:25Gamemaster:I don't know what triggers what you're talking about.

01:47:28Argyle:let me see

01:47:30Argyle:divine

01:47:34Argyle:countermeasures

01:47:37Argyle:whether

01:47:39Argyle:it's against a creature that's

01:47:42Argyle:as an extra planar lineage

01:47:44Argyle:such as

01:47:45Gamemaster:One second.

01:47:46Argyle:celestial fiends or other divine entities

01:47:48Gamemaster:Ooh, yes, this would count.

01:47:50Gamemaster:you get a plus one circumstance bonus

01:47:52Argyle:cool

01:47:53Gamemaster:to all saving throws against uh divine oh what it specifically does is a plus one circumstance bonus to all saving throws against divine effects Which this is technically a cult

01:47:55Argyle:Thank you Oh okay

01:48:06Gamemaster:but they are divine, so that counts.

01:48:12Gamemaster:Okay, a 34 and a 32.

01:48:16Gamemaster:Which, what is this guy's save?

01:48:20Gamemaster:Those are both successes,

01:48:22Gamemaster:so you're going to take half damage.

01:48:25Gamemaster:so you all take

01:48:36Gamemaster:14 points of force damage

01:48:40Gamemaster:and then for its third action

01:48:46Gamemaster:it's going to

01:48:48Gamemaster:screech

01:48:49Gamemaster:which of course notifies

01:48:53Gamemaster:yeah

01:48:55Argyle:Did I open a door, guys?

01:48:55Benny:Hey, what's going on in here?

01:48:55Johnny:Oh, no.

01:48:55Anzu:Oh, no.

01:49:01Johnny:Yep.

01:49:02Gamemaster:any insertion

01:49:03Argyle:No.

01:49:05Johnny:Well, he's huge.

01:49:06Anzu:Oh, no.

01:49:06Johnny:He's huge, so it's fine.

01:49:07Benny:Are you going to finish that guy?

01:49:12Benny:I'm hungry too.

01:49:13Anzu:Danger.

01:49:16Benny:Nice.

01:49:17Anzu:Danger.

01:49:20Benny:Yeah, Benny's not happy.

01:49:25Argyle:We back up and try to funnel them.

01:49:25Benny:Benny's going to attempt to kill

01:49:25Johnny:Yeah.

01:49:25Anzu:I mean, we're flanked.

01:49:26Johnny:Yeah.

01:49:27Johnny:I think the final idea is good, but we gotta see what this guy can bring us.

01:49:29Benny:the second attack

01:49:40Benny:please give me a one

01:49:43Benny:oh my god it gave me a fucking one

01:49:45Benny:hell yes

01:49:53Gamemaster:18 points of damage absolutely Good news That seems to have fully injured him

01:49:55Benny:18 my Mr Hungry corrupted

01:50:06Gamemaster:He didn't resist it at all.

01:50:09Gamemaster:There's this sickening, crunching sound

01:50:14Gamemaster:as your falcata makes contact with the side of him,

01:50:18Gamemaster:as you feel layers of hard material

01:50:21Gamemaster:underneath the clothes give way

01:50:23Gamemaster:as you break through.

01:50:25Argyle:or chitin huh

01:50:25Benny:Nice.

01:50:25Johnny:It's always chitin.

01:50:26Gamemaster:Like some kind of

01:50:28Gamemaster:exoskeleton or chitin.

01:50:31Benny:Let's...

01:50:35Johnny:It's always chitin.

01:50:35Argyle:it's always chitin he tries to slip that in there

01:50:37Benny:Let's...

01:50:39Argyle:oh

01:50:39Gamemaster:It's not

01:50:40Gamemaster:always. It's consistent.

01:50:42Johnny:It's consistently chitin.

01:50:44Benny:Let's try...

01:50:45Gamemaster:Consistently chitin.

01:50:47Gamemaster:He's trippin!

01:50:48Benny:Let's try to trip Mr. Hungry Corrupted.

01:50:51Gamemaster:Yeah, absolutely.

01:50:52Gamemaster:Naked Athletics check against his Reflex DC.

01:50:55Benny:25.

01:50:58Gamemaster:25.

01:51:00Gamemaster:That should actually be a 20,

01:51:02Gamemaster:because Trip is an attack,

01:51:03Gamemaster:and you've already made an attack.

01:51:04Benny:I have assurance.

01:51:07Gamemaster:Oh, you just used Assurance?

01:51:09Benny:Yeah.

01:51:10Gamemaster:That's fun.

01:51:11Gamemaster:25 still fails.

01:51:13Gamemaster:But good to know.

01:51:14Benny:That's it.

01:51:18Gamemaster:Okay.

01:51:19Gamemaster:you are staying where you are.

01:51:23Gamemaster:Benny is a little trapped at the moment.

01:51:24Gamemaster:Excuse me.

01:51:25Argyle:You want Argyle to back up or.

01:51:25Benny:No.

01:51:30Argyle:OK, because I'm hoping there's more on that side.

01:51:36Benny:Probably is.

01:51:37Benny:I mean, I was going to shove, and I don't have, I can't shove.

01:51:42Argyle:Well, if you want to leave an area for bad people to aggregate on the other side, I would not be opposed.

01:51:49Gamemaster:The other Harlequin, the confused Harlequin.

01:51:50Benny:Sure.

01:52:00Gamemaster:This guy is strange looking in another way.

01:52:02Gamemaster:He, similarly, you can see that part of his body seems to just be clipping through the wall where he's making contact with it.

01:52:08Gamemaster:Both of his feet are firmly planted, but he's leaning up against a wall.

01:52:12Gamemaster:He's actually leaning kind of through the wall.

01:52:15Gamemaster:And you can see that the clown jester costume has this seam in the middle that they don't normally have.

01:52:26Gamemaster:and that peels away to reveal a similar purple void in the center,

01:52:30Argyle:Yeah.

01:52:30Johnny:One cool guy.

01:52:30Anzu:What?

01:52:32Gamemaster:out of which shoots bolts of force as he casts Magic Missile at you.

01:52:40Anzu:What?

01:52:43Gamemaster:You can tell this is from an old pre-remaster stat block

01:52:44Anzu:I...

01:52:45Anzu:My version of shield is the 5e shield that automatically blocks magic missile.

01:52:49Gamemaster:because it's Magic Missile.

01:52:50Argyle:Yeah.

01:52:51Gamemaster:It's not Force Barrage.

01:52:56Gamemaster:You are not Anouk or Anaïs.

01:53:00Argyle:Sorry.

01:53:00Johnny:They only have one action, but it's so strong.

01:53:10Gamemaster:This is... why doesn't...

01:53:14Gamemaster:I mean, basically, that's the difference between the two systems.

01:53:20Gamemaster:Okay, it's weird. Magic Missiles is weird.

01:53:23Gamemaster:So I have to do this separately.

01:53:25Gamemaster:from where he is, I don't actually think

01:53:28Gamemaster:I guess he could

01:53:29Gamemaster:target Benny, I don't think he wants to target

01:53:30Argyle:Oh, he doesn't like Benny.

01:53:32Gamemaster:Benny

01:53:32Gamemaster:I'm going to roll

01:53:35Gamemaster:a d4

01:53:37Gamemaster:if it's a 1, it's Argyle

01:53:40Gamemaster:anything else it's Anzu

01:53:41Gamemaster:Anzu's directly in front of him

01:53:44Argyle:No, Johnny.

01:53:48Gamemaster:okay, we're going to roll

01:53:50Gamemaster:excuse me

01:53:53Gamemaster:I don know Is that I don think that correct Oh yes that why

01:54:00Argyle:you 94 damage

01:54:00Johnny:you Shadow Siphon

01:54:05Gamemaster:He's casting this at 3rd level, he's spending 3 actions,

01:54:09Gamemaster:so he gets to shoot 9 at Anzu.

01:54:17Benny:and so always as well with

01:54:18Argyle:Do you have that much HP?

01:54:25Johnny:I

01:54:25Anzu:I don't know what that does.

01:54:25Gamemaster:You can attempt to counteract it.

01:54:34Gamemaster:Treat Shadow Syphid's counteract rank as too higher for this attempt.

01:54:38Gamemaster:Okay.

01:54:39Gamemaster:One second.

01:54:40Gamemaster:I think you just do it then.

01:54:45Johnny:I

01:54:46Gamemaster:Okay.

01:54:46Johnny:I

01:54:47Gamemaster:Well, one second.

01:54:48Gamemaster:So you're counteracting at rank seven.

01:54:51Gamemaster:creatures that would be damaged instead take half damage

01:54:55Anzu:All right.

01:54:56Gamemaster:but the spell otherwise works as normal.

01:54:59Gamemaster:Yeah, roll.

01:54:59Gamemaster:Roll.

01:55:05Gamemaster:A 26?

01:55:10Gamemaster:Absolutely.

01:55:11Gamemaster:That might be a crit success.

01:55:14Gamemaster:Not that it matters.

01:55:15Gamemaster:This is all higher.

01:55:16Gamemaster:Yes, you successfully counteracted.

01:55:18Gamemaster:So you're going to take half damage.

01:55:20Gamemaster:so Azu you take 15 points

01:55:23Gamemaster:of force damage

01:55:24Gamemaster:and that was all three of its actions

01:55:25Benny:Me too.

01:55:25Johnny:Johnny's just yelling, there's two of them.

01:55:25Anzu:Very well.

01:55:29Gamemaster:it's the board corrupted

01:55:33Gamemaster:Harlequin's turn

01:55:41Johnny:There's only two of them, but I see both of them.

01:55:48Benny:Me too.

01:55:49Benny:Me too.

01:55:50Gamemaster:Argyle it your turn

01:55:50Benny:I like the digestive sounds

01:55:55Argyle:out Yes I can only see two of them

01:55:55Johnny:Did the other one do something

01:56:05Johnny:What did it do?

01:56:06Benny:There's just been digestive sounds playing in my headphones

01:56:09Benny:that Josh is just clicking and you like hear

01:56:11Benny:a whale digesting.

01:56:12Argyle:My turn.

01:56:12Gamemaster:Wait, do you...

01:56:13Gamemaster:Can you guys hear this?

01:56:15Benny:Yep.

01:56:15Johnny:Yeah.

01:56:16Johnny:I heard it do something.

01:56:16Gamemaster:Okay.

01:56:17Johnny:I can't see it on the map, so I don't know what's happening.

01:56:20Gamemaster:I know.

01:56:21Gamemaster:I understand.

01:56:23Johnny:Fog of War.

01:56:24Gamemaster:Argyle, it's your turn.

01:56:25Argyle:Yeah, let me make a do three wounds.

01:56:25Benny:well they're I mean clearly they

01:56:25Anzu:Is it actively fighting other Harlequin right now?

01:56:28Argyle:I mean, there might be there might be live ones that are good.

01:56:34Benny:are okay with eating each other

01:56:36Benny:or at least one of them is

01:56:38Benny:...

01:56:40Argyle:Yeah.

01:56:40Anzu:That's what I'm saying.

01:56:41Argyle:So I guess I shouldn't fuck this thing up.

01:56:50Argyle:DC 20.

01:56:53Argyle:Let's go for this.

01:56:55Argyle:Oof, bad roll.

01:56:55Gamemaster:What are you...

01:57:00Gamemaster:Oh, you're healing.

01:57:01Argyle:Yeah.

01:57:01Gamemaster:You're healing yourself?

01:57:03Gamemaster:Who are you healing?

01:57:04Gamemaster:Okay.

01:57:04Argyle:Benny.

01:57:04Gamemaster:Okay.

01:57:08Argyle:Then I will cast

01:57:11Argyle:a teacher spell.

01:57:15Gamemaster:I don't know.

01:57:17Argyle:Where's the spell? Sorry.

01:57:24Argyle:Addiction!

01:57:25Argyle:And I guess I will.

01:57:25Gamemaster:Okay.

01:57:29Gamemaster:Okay.

01:57:34Argyle:Can I try to think about what that sound might be?

01:57:38Argyle:Is there any check I can make?

01:57:40Gamemaster:You know what the sound is.

01:57:41Gamemaster:It's the sound of a door opening and closing.

01:57:43Argyle:Okay.

01:57:44Gamemaster:Like, no check necessary.

01:57:46Argyle:Okay.

01:57:49Argyle:All right.

01:57:50Argyle:Sorry.

01:57:50Argyle:So that's my.

01:57:52Argyle:Do you want out of there, Johnny?

01:57:55Argyle:No Benny Benny are you good I might need to move for him to get out of there right

01:57:55Benny:I might step back to like here Oh oh

01:57:55Gamemaster:Thank you Yes you do need to

01:58:05Benny:I'm allowed to open the door, I guess.

01:58:07Benny:I don't think so.

01:58:09Gamemaster:Johnny...

01:58:09Benny:Oh, never mind.

01:58:10Gamemaster:No, Benny cannot move through Argyle

01:58:12Gamemaster:in that space.

01:58:14Argyle:I guess I could do that.

01:58:14Gamemaster:He could tumble through, I suppose.

01:58:16Gamemaster:Tumbling through would work.

01:58:18Gamemaster:But you guys are...

01:58:18Argyle:I'll step there.

01:58:20Gamemaster:You guys are kind of...

01:58:20Argyle:I just wanted to know if I should prop that door open with my shield

01:58:20Benny:Fair enough.

01:58:23Argyle:or if I should step back.

01:58:25Argyle:Yeah, I actually clicked on it too.

01:58:25Benny:Sorry, I keep clicking on that. It's very loud in my ear.

01:58:25Anzu:Step.

01:58:25Gamemaster:I don't know how to make it so that you guys can't click on it.

01:58:30Argyle:Alright. No, it's fine.

01:58:34Argyle:I'll just do that. Return.

01:58:44Gamemaster:If that ends your turn, then that brings us to a zoom.

01:58:48Argyle:Wait, sorry, so I did medicine check.

01:58:50Argyle:Benediction. Stat yep, that's 3.

01:58:52Anzu:I want to recall knowledge

01:58:55Gamemaster:Okay?

01:58:57Anzu:via what skill might I?

01:58:58Gamemaster:Okay?

01:59:04Gamemaster:Oh, I'm sorry, I have to tell you that. Occultism.

01:59:06Anzu:Epic.

01:59:13Anzu:I received a 30.

01:59:16Gamemaster:30 is a success.

01:59:18Gamemaster:What do you want to know?

01:59:19Anzu:I need to know its resistances

01:59:19Gamemaster:Okay.

01:59:19Gamemaster:they are

01:59:21Anzu:and immunities and such.

01:59:25Johnny:Silver.

01:59:25Gamemaster:immune to sleep

01:59:28Gamemaster:they are

01:59:30Gamemaster:resistant to mental

01:59:32Gamemaster:damage

01:59:32Gamemaster:and they are weak to cold iron

01:59:37Anzu:Oh, cold iron.

01:59:39Anzu:Someone's got cold iron, right?

01:59:42Anzu:Okay.

01:59:42Johnny:Silver.

01:59:44Anzu:That all sounds pretty good.

01:59:47Johnny:Got to start getting more metals.

01:59:51Anzu:yeah should I be like

01:59:55Anzu:having cold iron to use with my

01:59:58Anzu:telekinetic projectile is that a thing you can

02:00:00Johnny:I have to start getting them.

02:00:00Anzu:do.

02:00:02Johnny:I have them for needle darts.

02:00:04Johnny:I have silver for needle darts.

02:00:05Anzu:Alright, so I'll have to buy some.

02:00:08Johnny:Yeah, I have to find some somewhere.

02:00:09Anzu:I do still think I'm going to

02:00:11Anzu:use that spell.

02:00:25Anzu:Yeah, I'll send an amped telekinetic projectile

02:00:28Anzu:at the confused one.

02:00:30Anzu:It looks like I have line of sight through the door.

02:00:30Gamemaster:Really?

02:00:34Anzu:

02:00:34Gamemaster:You do have Linus

02:00:35Gamemaster:through the door.

02:00:37Anzu:Okay.

02:00:44Anzu:Call it piercing.

02:00:48Anzu:Attack roll.

02:00:53Anzu:Ooh.

02:00:54Anzu:That's pretty bad.

02:01:00Argyle:You might not.

02:01:00Gamemaster:Okay.

02:01:03Anzu:I have two points, so maybe I should just use one.

02:01:07Argyle:Yeah, be crazy.

02:01:09Argyle:Let's ball.

02:01:12Anzu:I'm going to use one of my mythic points.

02:01:15Gamemaster:It does hit.

02:01:18Anzu:Still pretty bad, but at least it hit.

02:01:24Anzu:I deal 37 points of damage.

02:01:30Argyle:Thank you I think some of the spells might mention that The ones that do Are you telling me to use my bone shaker

02:01:30Benny:Are there any rules about having forced movement into a wall or object that does more damage or no

02:01:30Gamemaster:Absolutely. You do.

02:01:34Anzu:And it's pushed 5 feet backwards.

02:01:36Anzu:Dammit.

02:01:37Gamemaster:It's standing against the wall.

02:01:41Gamemaster:It gets pushed kind of into the wall,

02:01:43Gamemaster:and you watch as the wall elastic presses backwards with him,

02:01:45Anzu:Gross.

02:01:47Gamemaster:but he unfortunately doesn't move anywhere.

02:01:49Gamemaster:I don think so but I will double check One second Yeah Like I believe Bone Shaker specifically gives you extra damage

02:01:50Anzu:Gross.

02:01:54Anzu:I could see there being specific instances

02:02:08Gamemaster:if you chuck somebody at a wall.

02:02:10Benny:Yeah, no inherent damage.

02:02:10Gamemaster:Let's see.

02:02:19Benny:The movement simply halts.

02:02:25Benny:shove him into the wall

02:02:25Johnny:And bones?

02:02:25Anzu:I'm going to cast shield with my final action.

02:02:25Gamemaster:Bones?

02:02:29Benny:i eat

02:02:30Johnny:Are there bones?

02:02:35Gamemaster:If you want.

02:02:36Anzu:Actually, wait.

02:02:38Anzu:No, I don't want to do that.

02:02:39Anzu:Can I have my bird?

02:02:41Gamemaster:Oh my god, yeah, of course you can have your bird.

02:02:44Gamemaster:okay absolutely

02:02:46Anzu:Okay.

02:02:47Anzu:I use Restorative Familiar to give myself that focus point back.

02:02:55Johnny:Here's a question.

02:02:55Anzu:And that's my turn.

02:02:56Gamemaster:sure

02:02:59Gamemaster:um

02:03:01Gamemaster:okay

02:03:02Argyle:but uh

02:03:04Gamemaster:Johnny

02:03:09Johnny:Can we close the doors?

02:03:10Johnny:Is that something we can do?

02:03:11Johnny:We can do that?

02:03:12Johnny:Do I have to be standing directly in front of the door to do that or can I be standing

02:03:14Gamemaster:yeah

02:03:14Gamemaster:Yeah.

02:03:20Johnny:off to the side?

02:03:21Gamemaster:No, you have to be standing directly in front of the door.

02:03:24Gamemaster:And it requires both hands.

02:03:25Johnny:I know, I was hoping I could stand next to it so I'd be out of the line of fire and then close it, and then when I would walk in, I wouldn't be directly in front of it, but it was just a thought.

02:03:28Argyle:also they might they could just open it i think unless you have a lock spell

02:03:38Gamemaster:No.

02:03:42Johnny:Alright, well, we'll kick it off with a Dirge of Doom lingering performance, as you do.

02:03:44Gamemaster:All right.

02:03:48Gamemaster:All right Thank you

02:03:55Johnny:I think that just a regular success at this level

02:04:07Johnny:Nice.

02:04:10Johnny:That's one spell.

02:04:12Johnny:Second spell.

02:04:13Johnny:So...

02:04:13Johnny:we'll

02:04:21Johnny:we should have not gone last

02:04:24Johnny:to this one but we'll cast haste on Benny

02:04:25Benny:Peace.

02:04:25Gamemaster:Okay.

02:04:26Johnny:it's out of this thing

02:04:34Johnny:let's see

02:04:34Johnny:and third action

02:04:42Johnny:Hmm.

02:04:47Johnny:I'll just feel my oats and get prepped.

02:04:52Johnny:So I will roll Deception check.

02:04:55Gamemaster:Are you sure you don't want to just substitute that one in?

02:05:04Johnny:I'm going to use a Mythic point because I

02:05:06Johnny:have so many Mythic points.

02:05:07Johnny:I rolled a lot of nat 1s tonight.

02:05:08Johnny:Geez.

02:05:12Johnny:Well, I get that one back, so there we go.

02:05:16Johnny:I rolled four nat 1s tonight.

02:05:17Gamemaster:Yep.

02:05:18Gamemaster:Okay.

02:05:18Gamemaster:If at any point in the next minute you make a will save, you can choose to critically fail.

02:05:25Benny:there is actually a lot of nat ones

02:05:25Anzu:It's going to be a very interesting looking chart.

02:05:25Gamemaster:You're welcome.

02:05:25Johnny:Okay.

02:05:26Gamemaster:You're welcome.

02:05:31Benny:because Anzu rolled one

02:05:32Benny:and Benny also rolled one

02:05:34Benny:Josh did something

02:05:36Johnny:That's my turn.

02:05:41Gamemaster:I didn't do something.

02:05:42Johnny:I also rolled in one in Is this in both Discord and in Because I rolled a nat 1 in Discord

02:05:44Gamemaster:You have three natural ones, a natural six, and two natural nines.

02:05:50Anzu:Is it discounting the rerolls?

02:05:55Benny:you Was it a lot of work to skew all the different dice rollers Josh

02:05:55Anzu:you Did I

02:05:55Gamemaster:oh no I was I was only looking at the thing in um in the rules and foundry yeah if it helps I haven rolled in that one yet

02:06:07Johnny:Tanner rolled a nat 1 in Discord.

02:06:14Gamemaster:yeah it was because i had to i had to do it both in foundry uh which meant that i had to

02:06:14Anzu:Oh, I did, yeah.

02:06:24Gamemaster:months ago sneak a commit into the chrome source code to change the uh to change the

02:06:25Benny:One of us is just like, I'll just roll on path building.

02:06:25Johnny:Yep, that's all I got.

02:06:31Gamemaster:the cryptographic hash so that i can change it for some people

02:06:35Gamemaster:yeah yeah why would you do that we could we could do it over in foundry or in the dice but you don't

02:06:37Benny:He's like, no, no, no, no.

02:06:37Benny:I mean, there's a better roll.

02:06:39Benny:It takes account everything.

02:06:45Gamemaster:need other options um is that the end of your turn johnny okay okay the hungry corrupted harlequin

02:06:52Johnny:That's my stuff.

02:06:55Benny:you could pass

02:06:55Gamemaster:um is probably just going to attack benny because benny's directly in front of him

02:07:04Gamemaster:and I don't know what else he would do in this particular instance.

02:07:14Gamemaster:I have to read the rules.

02:07:15Benny:see what we do

02:07:17Benny:maybe he thinks he acted

02:07:23Benny:too rashly

02:07:25Johnny:Oh, no, a 14th.

02:07:30Gamemaster:That's good.

02:07:33Gamemaster:All right.

02:07:34Gamemaster:Um...

02:07:39Gamemaster:The Harlequint is going to attempt to balefully polymorph Johnny.

02:07:46Gamemaster:I mean Benny.

02:07:47Gamemaster:Benny, please attempt that Fortitude save.

02:07:51Benny:can I attack him before I make the save?

02:07:55Gamemaster:No?

02:07:57Gamemaster:Oh! Yeah, no. Yes!

02:08:00Benny:Okay. Yeah, I'm just

02:08:00Anzu:That's tough.

02:08:00Gamemaster:It has the manipulate trait. You can.

02:08:02Benny:asking for new rules to be created

02:08:03Gamemaster:I had to double check. It does have the manipulate. You can.

02:08:06Benny:here.

02:08:11Gamemaster:That hits. Roll damage.

02:08:16Benny:Nice.

02:08:17Gamemaster:That's some damage.

02:08:18Anzu:That's tough.

02:08:18Benny:One and a two.

02:08:19Benny:Let's go.

02:08:20Gamemaster:Okay, now you can attempt the fortitude save.

02:08:22Anzu:Oh.

02:08:27Benny:Yeah, that one is going to be

02:08:29Benny:mythic pointed

02:08:30Anzu:Oh my god, Josh, what are you doing?

02:08:30Gamemaster:I didn't do it

02:08:37Benny:how do we roll 21 so let's get a couple

02:08:37Gamemaster:you all watch as

02:08:39Benny:of twos in there

02:08:44Gamemaster:this harlequin

02:08:46Gamemaster:vomits out

02:08:48Gamemaster:black light onto Benny

02:08:50Gamemaster:and as the light fades

02:08:52Gamemaster:where Benny used to be

02:08:54Gamemaster:is instead a gecko

02:08:56Gamemaster:sat on top

02:08:58Gamemaster:of two swords

02:08:59Gamemaster:actually you know that is fair

02:09:00Johnny:What?

02:09:00Anzu:Give me just a moment, please.

02:09:01Johnny:I can do something about this on my turn.

02:09:06Gamemaster:I don't know if a gecko is a harmless animal

02:09:08Gamemaster:appropriate to the area

02:09:10Gamemaster:an animal appropriate to the area

02:09:12Gamemaster:would be

02:09:13Gamemaster:I'm sorry I lied it's not a gecko

02:09:17Gamemaster:it is a

02:09:18Gamemaster:it's a small rock

02:09:20Gamemaster:with

02:09:22Gamemaster:like little rock arms

02:09:25Gamemaster:attached to the side

02:09:26Gamemaster:uh good news though um benny is in fact uh tiny right now so if you wanted to you could

02:09:30Argyle:I can see over him.

02:09:30Anzu:Thanks for watching

02:09:31Johnny:I don't really know if this is a new thing.

02:09:40Gamemaster:walk through his area yeah

02:09:41Gamemaster:and the harlequin just walks right over the rock monster that Benny has become

02:09:43Argyle:How surefire can you get rid of that?

02:09:50Johnny:It would be this.

02:09:54Johnny:I don know how this works

02:09:59Benny:you I can only attempt the will save

02:10:00Argyle:you Well if Benny comes to Argyle

02:10:08Argyle:he can cleanse Affliction and Garedemus.

02:10:10Gamemaster:Benny, it's your turn.

02:10:15Benny:I can move, I guess.

02:10:16Gamemaster:You can choose to move.

02:10:17Argyle:Okay.

02:10:19Gamemaster:You can't really attack or anything,

02:10:21Gamemaster:but if you instead of moving choose to spend

02:10:24Gamemaster:all of the actions on your turn

02:10:25Argyle:Argyle can also cleanse this.

02:10:25Benny:Can the

02:10:25Johnny:Oh, with a will save I can help.

02:10:25Anzu:Oh, give him the nat 1 from before.

02:10:25Gamemaster:you may attempt a will save to immediately

02:10:27Gamemaster:end the effect

02:10:28Gamemaster:yes

02:10:37Johnny:Here, have a nat 1.

02:10:43Argyle:I don't know if you'd know that, but Argyle's also the team doctor and magic doctor.

02:10:51Gamemaster:If he moves, the gear will move with him.

02:10:52Benny:rock

02:10:54Benny:I mean this doesn't say anything about gear

02:10:57Benny:so I think the gear would just stay with

02:10:59Benny:Benny if he just

02:11:00Benny:scurried in

02:11:02Benny:yeah Benny will scurry

02:11:03Gamemaster:Yeah.

02:11:04Benny:will scurry in

02:11:07Benny:um

02:11:07Gamemaster:Okay.

02:11:09Benny:what even else is there for

02:11:15Benny:a small creature to do

02:11:18Benny:uh

02:11:19Gamemaster:All right, nothing really.

02:11:20Benny:yeah what

02:11:21Gamemaster:Um...

02:11:22Benny:Can you give me an animal stat block?

02:11:25Argyle:All right.

02:11:26Benny:Can I bite the ankles of the...

02:11:28Gamemaster:No, because it explicitly says you turn into a harmless animal.

02:11:33Benny:Oh, right.

02:11:36Benny:How much force is required to close a door?

02:11:39Gamemaster:You cannot close the door if you are not large enough.

02:11:44Benny:I bet he'll hang out.

02:11:45Gamemaster:Okay.

02:11:49Gamemaster:Absolutely.

02:11:50Gamemaster:it is the confused

02:11:52Gamemaster:corrupted on the

02:11:52Benny:Thank you You fine

02:11:53Argyle:just quick question if you do Polymorph farms use the same hit points or is it like D where they don and if they go to zero they come back

02:11:54Gamemaster:clone's turn

02:11:54Gamemaster:hmm uh it is not like dnd um yeah no uh so polymorph doesn actually affect your

02:12:07Argyle:That's what I thought.

02:12:08Argyle:Okay.

02:12:10Argyle:I was going to say

02:12:11Argyle:area of effect.

02:12:17Gamemaster:hit points at all it just changes your shape

02:12:18Argyle:I see.

02:12:20Gamemaster:yeah that's that's what it does um i think yeah you cast some spells in front of the

02:12:25Argyle:I didn't cast any healing spells.

02:12:25Benny:Hey, wounds.

02:12:35Gamemaster:confused corrupted harlequin of the healing variety uh so he is going after argyle this time

02:12:41Gamemaster:uh still kind of pressed oh you didn't get you didn't cast heal to heal what did you do just like

02:12:48Argyle:No.

02:12:48Gamemaster:treat wounds.

02:12:50Argyle:Yeah.

02:12:51Gamemaster:Okay, then I guess

02:12:53Gamemaster:we're gonna go for Anzu instead

02:12:55Argyle:Yeah, buddy.

02:12:55Benny:He's magic.

02:12:55Johnny:Oh, God.

02:12:55Anzu:I don't know what that means, so it probably doesn't actually affect me.

02:12:56Gamemaster:because Anzu definitely cast a spell.

02:12:59Gamemaster:Sure.

02:13:02Gamemaster:Anzu, you're gonna get spell racked.

02:13:11Gamemaster:That's how that works, yeah.

02:13:14Gamemaster:Anzu, you need to attempt this

02:13:15Johnny:Oh, God.

02:13:16Gamemaster:will save as purple energy

02:13:18Gamemaster:expands out of the opened

02:13:22Gamemaster:gaping area in its stomach

02:13:24Gamemaster:and attempts to

02:13:25Johnny:Oh!

02:13:25Anzu:Can I take Johnny's natural one?

02:13:28Gamemaster:injure the connection

02:13:31Gamemaster:that you have with the weave.

02:13:36Gamemaster:No.

02:13:37Gamemaster:Actually, you know what? Sure, if you want it.

02:13:41Gamemaster:A 34.

02:13:44Gamemaster:That's a success if I've ever heard one.

02:13:47Anzu:Awesome.

02:13:48Gamemaster:Okay from now on if you become affected by a spell with a duration you going to take 2d12 persistent force damage Every time you take persistent force damage it reduces the remaining duration of the spells that are currently affecting you by one round

02:13:55Anzu:Thank you I

02:14:08Gamemaster:Luckily

02:14:09Gamemaster:I don't think

02:14:11Gamemaster:it applies to Benediction

02:14:12Gamemaster:because Spellrack was

02:14:14Gamemaster:after Benediction.

02:14:16Gamemaster:But in the future, if you get any spell effects

02:14:19Gamemaster:applied to you, you are instead going to take some damage.

02:14:22Anzu:don't haste me please

02:14:25Argyle:Hmm.

02:14:25Johnny:Don't haste me, bro.

02:14:25Gamemaster:And then I think just for fun he's going to try and impupil Argyle.

02:14:35Gamemaster:Yes, I know this also has two actions, he is allowed to do it.

02:14:36Johnny:That's so rude.

02:14:43Johnny:Oh, no.

02:14:43Johnny:He's got Flourish casting?

02:14:48Johnny:Or 4X?

02:14:49Gamemaster:I need you to have this fortitude save.

02:14:55Argyle:That's

02:14:55Anzu:Oh, God.

02:14:55Gamemaster:You succeed.

02:14:57Gamemaster:So you are enfeebled.

02:15:01Gamemaster:That's the end of its turn.

02:15:08Gamemaster:The Anzu, the wall behind you, pushes in towards you.

02:15:16Gamemaster:As you can see, something is pressing against it.

02:15:21Gamemaster:You can see the silhouette almost of hands, the impression of hands pushing through.

02:15:25Argyle:Should we back up to funnel them?

02:15:25Johnny:Yeah, maybe.

02:15:25Anzu:Thanks for watching.

02:15:30Gamemaster:It doesn't quite open.

02:15:33Gamemaster:Nothing gets through this round, but it seems like it's only a matter of time.

02:15:38Gamemaster:Or no.

02:15:43Johnny:Maybe.

02:15:45Argyle:I got an AOE spell that we can put in front if we can funnel them.

02:15:49Argyle:But then...

02:15:52Johnny:I'm fine backing to funnel them.

02:15:53Johnny:It just involves where we go.

02:15:55Argyle:yeah

02:15:57Argyle:alright first step

02:16:00Argyle:I will cast a spell

02:16:00Gamemaster:Mm-hmm.

02:16:02Argyle:called

02:16:04Argyle:Glens Affliction.

02:16:08Argyle:This is at 5th level.

02:16:11Gamemaster:Mm-hmm.

02:16:13Gamemaster:Attempt to counteract.

02:16:14Argyle:And

02:16:14Argyle:yes.

02:16:15Gamemaster:Attempt to counteract.

02:16:18Argyle:Alright, alright, alright.

02:16:20Argyle:Big money to Wemmys.

02:16:21Argyle:I have hero points

02:16:23Argyle:for this.

02:16:28Argyle:Um.

02:16:30Argyle:Do you think I should hear a point that I rolled an 11?

02:16:30Gamemaster:You can attempt a religion check if you want to know if you would know.

02:16:34Argyle:Nope, that's probably pretty good.

02:16:35Argyle:We should do that.

02:16:37Argyle:28.

02:16:38Argyle:Ah.

02:16:41Argyle:I don't.

02:16:42Argyle:So not metagaming.

02:16:44Argyle:I wouldn't know what spell level baleful polymorph was.

02:16:49Argyle:So.

02:16:52Argyle:Okay.

02:17:00Argyle:Okay.

02:17:00Johnny:That's big.

02:17:00Gamemaster:A 35 is a success.

02:17:11Gamemaster:You would know that it was a rank 8 Baleful Polymorph.

02:17:15Argyle:Ooh.

02:17:18Argyle:Can I pivot instead of doing that cleanse

02:17:21Argyle:and just pick him up and run?

02:17:24Gamemaster:Yeah, you could do that.

02:17:25Argyle:Okay, okay.

02:17:25Gamemaster:I will allow it.

02:17:27Argyle:I'm going to do that,

02:17:28Argyle:and I'm going to say we should leave

02:17:30Gamemaster:Okay.

02:17:30Argyle:and just run down here.

02:17:38Gamemaster:Anzu, you are no longer affected by benediction.

02:17:38Argyle:I have this, right?

02:17:45Argyle:I have this.

02:17:47Argyle:I can open the door.

02:17:49Gamemaster:Uh yeah the the you can it is an action to open the door and you cannot do it while you holding uh No he a rock No I think I think I don

02:17:55Argyle:Oh I figured he could just go on my shoulder No He a little lizard He tiny He can move there right

02:17:56Benny:you you Yeah

02:18:07Gamemaster:think you get to both

02:18:08Gamemaster:carry him and also open a

02:18:10Gamemaster:door that requires two open hands.

02:18:14Argyle:Okay.

02:18:14Argyle:Yeah.

02:18:16Gamemaster:So you can put

02:18:16Argyle:He can move on his own, right? You can move on your own, right?

02:18:17Gamemaster:him down and open the door, that's fine.

02:18:18Gamemaster:he can move on his own now

02:18:22Argyle:You did already.

02:18:25Argyle:Should I just open the door and leave without grabbing him at all?

02:18:25Benny:Who knows?

02:18:25Johnny:If we're doing that, I'll pick him up.

02:18:25Anzu:I'm back.

02:18:32Johnny:I'll pick him up in the next turn.

02:18:34Argyle:Okay.

02:18:36Argyle:So Anzu, you grab him instead.

02:18:38Argyle:And I...

02:18:40Argyle:Can you move off so I can...

02:18:42Argyle:I can't move. He's on top of me.

02:18:46Argyle:Okay.

02:18:46Argyle:Yeah, so put him back.

02:18:47Anzu:Put that thing back where it came from.

02:18:48Gamemaster:I figured out how to make you tiny.

02:18:49Johnny:But that thing...

02:18:50Argyle:So instead, I'm going to come here, open that door.

02:18:50Johnny:So help me.

02:18:55Benny:Oh, no, what's wrong?

02:18:55Anzu:Oh, boy.

02:18:56Argyle:It's two actions.

02:19:01Argyle:And go here.

02:19:07Argyle:All right.

02:19:08Argyle:All right.

02:19:08Gamemaster:Okay, that works.

02:19:10Gamemaster:Argyle, I will note, just because it might be relevant to you,

02:19:14Gamemaster:this wall over on the left

02:19:16Gamemaster:seems to actually be bulging

02:19:18Gamemaster:in a little bit

02:19:20Gamemaster:towards you

02:19:20Argyle:what's

02:19:23Argyle:like towards us or away from us

02:19:25Benny:I don't know.

02:19:25Johnny:I can give him

02:19:25Anzu:Why are there so many of them?

02:19:27Argyle:towards our go away

02:19:28Argyle:we should probably

02:19:28Gamemaster:towards you

02:19:31Argyle:abandon ship here huh

02:19:32Argyle:we don't have something to get you out of

02:19:37Argyle:that polymorph so we're down

02:19:38Benny:I can remake the wheel safe.

02:19:39Argyle:a person

02:19:39Argyle:okay

02:19:44Gamemaster:Anzu it is your turn

02:19:45Argyle:at least fall back here i guess i don't know

02:19:46Johnny:one moment to glory.

02:19:50Johnny:We'll fall back and

02:19:50Argyle:Yeah.

02:19:51Benny:Okay.

02:19:51Johnny:figure this out.

02:19:55Benny:Thank you I think you just kill them all

02:19:55Johnny:We fall back and regroup

02:19:55Anzu:Thank you Yeah I in danger

02:19:56Argyle:Alright that my turn I can drop that addiction next round

02:20:16Anzu:Um...

02:20:21Johnny:Good. Right now.

02:20:25Argyle:so just to double check because anzu is not really getting the bened on you so i'm the

02:20:25Anzu:in danger.

02:20:25Gamemaster:Whenever the target becomes affected by a spell with a duration,

02:20:36Argyle:recipient of benediction and every round people around me get the turn the bonus

02:20:41Argyle:does that apply to anzu because i think anzu didn't catch the benediction i did

02:20:49Anzu:That's funky.

02:20:55Argyle:Okay.

02:20:55Johnny:Oh, no.

02:20:55Anzu:yeah I think he's right

02:20:55Gamemaster:benediction spell

02:20:57Gamemaster:duration one minute

02:20:58Gamemaster:yeah like I get where you're coming

02:21:01Argyle:Yeah.

02:21:01Anzu:but I guess I just have to tough it out

02:21:04Argyle:Yeah.

02:21:08Argyle:Yeah.

02:21:10Argyle:I can drop that addiction.

02:21:11Gamemaster:from Jorge I just

02:21:12Argyle:Yeah.

02:21:12Gamemaster:I don't think so

02:21:13Argyle:Yeah.

02:21:14Gamemaster:uh no

02:21:14Argyle:Wait, can I even drop that addiction?

02:21:19Gamemaster:uh yeah

02:21:20Argyle:No.

02:21:22Anzu:now

02:21:23Anzu:if I

02:21:24Anzu:enter benediction

02:21:26Anzu:and then subsequently

02:21:28Anzu:leave the benediction

02:21:30Anzu:do I stop being affected by the persistent

02:21:33Anzu:damage?

02:21:35Gamemaster:it is an action to pick up mes

02:21:36Anzu:Okay.

02:21:38Anzu:And I need to pick up

02:21:39Anzu:Benny. Is that an action?

02:21:43Anzu:Okay. I pick up Benny.

02:21:43Gamemaster:okay

02:21:48Anzu:Heck.

02:21:51Anzu:I guess I just freaking book it.

02:21:53Anzu:I don have a choice 25 25 to here

02:21:55Argyle:you Did any of you guys use big spell slots

02:21:55Johnny:you I dropped a fifth for Shadow Siphon

02:22:10Anzu:No.

02:22:13Anzu:No.

02:22:18Argyle:How about you, Anzu?

02:22:19Argyle:Should we just leave, go get our

02:22:20Anzu:No, I used...

02:22:24Argyle:expendable guy and come back same day?

02:22:25Johnny:just leave getty well are you gonna fit in here he's so big he's so big

02:22:25Gamemaster:It'll be a tight squeeze.

02:22:34Gamemaster:I think technically, yes.

02:22:35Johnny:i will say egan has a 10-foot reach and can just shove things around

02:22:36Gamemaster:He's large, but he can fit through doorways.

02:22:41Gamemaster:Yes is the answer.

02:22:49Argyle:so funny if we just come back

02:22:52Argyle:literally like 10 minutes later

02:22:54Argyle:Egan you're up big guy

02:22:55Benny:Thanks.

02:22:55Johnny:We just put it in front of the

02:22:55Anzu:Josh, if Argyle is kind of on the stairs, does that mean there's a little bit...

02:22:55Gamemaster:yeah yeah

02:22:57Johnny:Just start bodying things

02:22:57Argyle:oh sorry I didn't realize

02:23:08Argyle:there were stairs could I just have gone here I had the movement

02:23:09Anzu:Okay, never mind.

02:23:10Argyle:I didn't know

02:23:12Argyle:oh wait you know what I would be on this side

02:23:13Anzu:

02:23:15Argyle:no no not next to that door

02:23:16Argyle:fuck

02:23:17Gamemaster:okay so that is

02:23:18Gamemaster:you have now moved next to the wall

02:23:20Gamemaster:that is being pushed in towards you

02:23:22Argyle:I have to move in for this

02:23:22Gamemaster:yes yes it is you can see outside out to the catwalk that you saw previously

02:23:25Benny:is trapped between a suspicious door

02:23:25Anzu:Josh, is this door down here still open from us opening it earlier?

02:23:25Argyle:can I just do that

02:23:26Argyle:I didn't want to block any fucking doors

02:23:29Argyle:or anything

02:23:33Benny:and a bendy wall place.

02:23:47Anzu:Okay.

02:23:48Anzu:So if I go five feet beyond what's on the map, am I on the catwalk?

02:23:52Gamemaster:If you go...

02:23:54Anzu:is that kind of

02:23:55Anzu:or is this the catwalk

02:23:56Gamemaster:So, this thing outside the door is the...

02:24:00Argyle:Can you guys still fly?

02:24:00Johnny:I have a little more spell slot for it.

02:24:00Anzu:Right, right.

02:24:00Gamemaster:ledge on the exterior of the platform. Beyond that is just that open space.

02:24:04Anzu:Okay.

02:24:06Anzu:I can always fly, but I don't have the actions to get out of the way.

02:24:09Gamemaster:He is a bird.

02:24:11Anzu:So I'll just use my other action to go to here.

02:24:12Argyle:Okay.

02:24:17Gamemaster:Okay, you have moved from one area that had things trying to push through the

02:24:22Gamemaster:wall to get to you to another area that has things trying to push through the

02:24:25Gamemaster:wall to get to you.

02:24:26Anzu:Yeah.

02:24:26Anzu:And I can't actually see my bird anymore.

02:24:29Anzu:So can you bring my bird over here?

02:24:30Argyle:If you...

02:24:30Gamemaster:Yeah, you could choose to delay.

02:24:36Anzu:And give me my lizard as well.

02:24:38Argyle:Yeah.

02:24:40Argyle:If Anzu blocks it, he...

02:24:43Argyle:I could just drop an initiative order

02:24:44Argyle:to be after Anzu, right?

02:24:50Anzu:Well, Johnny might be able to.

02:24:51Gamemaster:John needs to return

02:24:54Argyle:Oh, Johnny can just full get out, though.

02:24:56Argyle:Okay.

02:24:56Anzu:Yeah, probably.

02:24:57Anzu:I pass that's my three actions

02:24:58Argyle:Yeah.

02:25:00Argyle:you gotta go

02:25:00Johnny:Oof.

02:25:00Anzu:oh I thought it was d10s

02:25:02Gamemaster:oh wait sorry I'm so sorry

02:25:04Gamemaster:first Anzu you're going to take

02:25:06Gamemaster:18 points of force damage

02:25:08Gamemaster:and if you like

02:25:14Gamemaster:I don't think the make a recovery check

02:25:16Gamemaster:will work because it's the wrong DC

02:25:18Gamemaster:but you may because you just took persistent

02:25:20Gamemaster:force damage, attempt an

02:25:22Gamemaster:Arcana check against the spell

02:25:24Gamemaster:DC of the caster to end

02:25:26Gamemaster:the curse early.

02:25:27Anzu:I'm just allowed to do that for free?

02:25:30Argyle:Well.

02:25:30Gamemaster:That's part of the spell.

02:25:32Anzu:Oh, okay.

02:25:32Gamemaster:Each time you take persistent force damage from Spellrack,

02:25:35Gamemaster:only a successful Arcana

02:25:36Gamemaster:check against your spell DC can help the target

02:25:38Gamemaster:recover from the persistent damage.

02:25:44Anzu:That's weird wording, but I will make an Arcana check nonetheless.

02:25:46Gamemaster:Yeah, I think

02:25:47Argyle:It made to be against mages so I guess it to try to give mages an out Thank you

02:25:48Gamemaster:yeah I think from my understanding

02:25:53Gamemaster:to be clear it ends the

02:25:54Gamemaster:persistent damage it does intend to the curse I was incorrect the curse itself fades after a minute but you can stop the persistent damage while you within Argyle spear so long as you don

02:26:05Gamemaster:leave it again. Not that it matters in this

02:26:07Gamemaster:case, because a 21 is a failure.

02:26:09Gamemaster:So you will

02:26:10Gamemaster:continue to be spell

02:26:12Gamemaster:wrought?

02:26:15Gamemaster:I don't know what the past tense of

02:26:16Gamemaster:wreck is. Or, sorry, not the

02:26:19Gamemaster:past tense, the

02:26:19Gamemaster:future imperfect?

02:26:23Gamemaster:I don't know. Either way.

02:26:25Argyle:yes

02:26:25Benny:Rocked.

02:26:25Johnny:Yeah, I will run out here.

02:26:25Anzu:turn.

02:26:25Gamemaster:Rucked, yes.

02:26:28Anzu:I'm feeling

02:26:29Gamemaster:Johnny, it's your turn.

02:26:29Anzu:rocked up right

02:26:30Anzu:now.

02:26:35Gamemaster:Absolutely.

02:26:38Johnny:Over here, there we go.

02:26:42Johnny:And then I will yell, are we leaving?

02:26:47Gamemaster:Okay.

02:26:48Johnny:Okay.

02:26:50Johnny:Before I do that, if we're on the run, just to make life a little easier for everybody.

02:26:54Johnny:I don't know if this will work.

02:26:55Anzu:Whoa.

02:26:55Gamemaster:Each ally in your aura can immediately attempt a new saving throw with a plus two status

02:26:55Johnny:One moment till glory on Benny.

02:26:57Johnny:One moment till glory on Benny.

02:26:57Johnny:and you should get a plus two because i just dropped one moment till glory

02:27:03Gamemaster:bonus against one ongoing negative effect or condition currently affecting them.

02:27:08Gamemaster:Oh, I'm so sorry for that sound.

02:27:14Gamemaster:So both Anzu and Beni can reattempt to save against their effect.

02:27:19Gamemaster:Beni makes a will save, Anzu makes an arcana check.

02:27:25Argyle:Oh.

02:27:25Benny:I'm gonna look at Benny's original modifier.

02:27:25Anzu:Oh.

02:27:25Gamemaster:You do have a plus two. Anzu will probably have to add it manually because it's an Arcana check,

02:27:27Johnny:Oh.

02:27:32Gamemaster:and so I don't think it'll show up as a save, but it is saving against the effect in this case.

02:27:42Benny:You had a plus 18.

02:27:49Anzu:Oh.

02:27:50Gamemaster:A 40 is a success. You are no longer persistently taking damage.

02:27:55Argyle:you What still happening in the curse

02:27:55Benny:Uh yeah Uh Yeah Yeah Yeah

02:27:55Anzu:But I still cursed

02:27:55Gamemaster:from benediction You are still cursed for the next nine rounds

02:27:57Johnny:Thank you Such a disgrace

02:28:07Benny:Yeah.

02:28:08Argyle:Just other effects could cause it.

02:28:10Argyle:There you go.

02:28:10Anzu:Whenever I regain an effect.

02:28:10Gamemaster:If he...

02:28:11Argyle:Do you have a hero point?

02:28:12Gamemaster:Yeah, whenever he becomes affected by his spell with rain...

02:28:16Gamemaster:With iteration, sorry.

02:28:17Gamemaster:29 is not enough.

02:28:18Gamemaster:Benny is still a little rock monster.

02:28:22Johnny:Try it again.

02:28:23Gamemaster:Never mind.

02:28:23Johnny:try it again

02:28:25Argyle:As long as it works now.

02:28:25Benny:Was it a fourth?

02:28:25Gamemaster:Such a disgrace.

02:28:25Johnny:do it again

02:28:26Gamemaster:Betty gets to go again.

02:28:30Johnny:I'm just gonna have you keep doing this until it works

02:28:38Benny:Oh, it's a will save for the...

02:28:43Johnny:or was it not

02:28:44Johnny:I thought it was a will save

02:28:45Johnny:is it not a will save

02:28:45Gamemaster:It is a will save.

02:28:45Johnny:okay

02:28:46Gamemaster:It's a will save against the Baleful Collingworth.

02:28:49Benny:Why do I see the...

02:28:51Benny:as a fortitude saving throw.

02:28:55Anzu:Fascinating.

02:28:55Gamemaster:So, the original save was a fortitude saving throw, but the way that Baleful Polymorph

02:29:00Benny:Oh, right, right, right.

02:29:02Gamemaster:is worded is that subsequent saves are will saves.

02:29:10Benny:Reroll.

02:29:10Benny:Do I have to keep the new results?

02:29:13Benny:This is the high result.

02:29:15Benny:Okay.

02:29:15Benny:And then I got a plus one circumstance,

02:29:18Benny:which the

02:29:20Benny:One Moment to Glory, I'm guessing, is not active.

02:29:23Johnny:Yeah, we'll move into glory.

02:29:25Anzu:It probably faded after your first roll, but...

02:29:25Gamemaster:No, it...

02:29:26Gamemaster:One second.

02:29:28Anzu:Oh, it's there.

02:29:29Anzu:I see it.

02:29:31Gamemaster:Let me see.

02:29:32Gamemaster:Okay.

02:29:32Johnny:There should, so that should actually be a 33 because you get the plus one circumstance

02:29:35Gamemaster:Erase your allies.

02:29:36Johnny:too.

02:29:37Gamemaster:Each ally can attempt to use the result of a new save,

02:29:40Benny:Oh, because it's a reroll

02:29:40Gamemaster:unless a new save would be worse.

02:29:42Benny:of the One Moment to Glory.

02:29:42Gamemaster:Yeah, you are re-rolling the original one,

02:29:44Gamemaster:so you should get it.

02:29:45Gamemaster:32 is a success.

02:29:47Benny:This is a 33.

02:29:49Gamemaster:33 is also a success.

02:29:50Gamemaster:and so you are

02:29:53Johnny:And And for my last action

02:29:53Gamemaster:no longer a tiny rock monster now you are a tiny humanoid Tiny robot monster

02:29:55Argyle:Any robot monster

02:29:55Anzu:you I mean he next

02:30:05Argyle:Which would he be at the door or on Anzu?

02:30:07Johnny:for my final action

02:30:09Argyle:Since Anzu is holding him,

02:30:10Argyle:like would he be there or somewhere else?

02:30:11Gamemaster:Azu can no longer hold him, so he gets put in a space, so I put him at the

02:30:16Gamemaster:door. If you want he can be where Othello is instead. Those are the only two

02:30:17Argyle:OK.

02:30:20Gamemaster:options for him.

02:30:23Argyle:Where would you prefer to be, Benny?

02:30:24Johnny:I cast fly on myself

02:30:25Argyle:are we still leaving or now we're going to fight

02:30:25Benny:I'll be here so you guys can leave

02:30:25Gamemaster:Okay.

02:30:26Johnny:so I can leave later

02:30:27Johnny:that's my

02:30:28Gamemaster:Okay.

02:30:28Gamemaster:Mm-hmm.

02:30:32Benny:oh he's farting

02:30:36Benny:I don't know what he has to do

02:30:37Johnny:I think that's air.

02:30:39Benny:I guess we can decide while the hungry corrupted

02:30:41Johnny:What is happening?

02:30:42Johnny:Oh, if we're...

02:30:43Johnny:It just depends on how injured this makes this guy.

02:30:44Benny:kill kill get him out of here

02:30:48Gamemaster:Did it.

02:30:55Benny:I need the second reaction.

02:30:55Anzu:Uh-oh.

02:30:55Gamemaster:20 points of damage

02:31:03Gamemaster:absolutely

02:31:03Gamemaster:he is

02:31:05Gamemaster:injured

02:31:06Gamemaster:he's gonna

02:31:07Johnny:Maybe we should leave.

02:31:10Gamemaster:he's gonna do another

02:31:11Gamemaster:shadow blast out of his mouth

02:31:13Gamemaster:but this time

02:31:15Anzu:Bad.

02:31:16Gamemaster:I can do a company

02:31:17Gamemaster:that's all of you

02:31:25Argyle:Yeah, do you have two reactions?

02:31:25Benny:No.

02:31:25Anzu:Bad.

02:31:25Gamemaster:You can choose reflex or will.

02:31:37Johnny:Will. For sure.

02:31:39Anzu:Crazy that reflex is better for me.

02:31:40Anzu:That's actually kind of insane.

02:31:41Gamemaster:That is ridiculous.

02:31:49Anzu:Pretty good.

02:31:50Johnny:Do I have Performer's Heart at this level? Is that a this level thing?

02:31:55Johnny:Amazing!

02:31:55Anzu:That's pretty good too.

02:32:00Argyle:When I actually have resolute faith,

02:32:00Benny:Oh, I'm sorry.

02:32:00Johnny:Same, Sev.

02:32:00Gamemaster:All of you succeeded.

02:32:08Gamemaster:Okay?

02:32:12Argyle:so when I succeed on a will save,

02:32:14Argyle:I should get a critical instead.

02:32:15Argyle:Yeah.

02:32:16Gamemaster:Okay.

02:32:16Johnny:Performer's heart.

02:32:18Johnny:Performer's heart.

02:32:19Gamemaster:All right.

02:32:20Gamemaster:For those of you that have that thing that makes it so that when you succeed, you critically succeed, you critically succeeded.

02:32:25Gamemaster:otherwise for all of you plebeians

02:32:28Gamemaster:you're just going to take half damage

02:32:30Argyle:I am actually

02:32:30Johnny:You've had this the whole time?

02:32:30Anzu:a 35 is just a regular success.

02:32:31Gamemaster:yes

02:32:35Anzu:Yeah.

02:32:36Gamemaster:all of those are regular successes on the die

02:32:41Argyle:going to use a reaction to do

02:32:44Argyle:glimpse of redemption

02:32:46Argyle:I forgot I had this

02:32:48Argyle:and I have never used it

02:32:50Argyle:I've had this for a long long time

02:32:54Johnny:You haven't been using this?

02:32:54Argyle:Well normally it's for shield

02:32:54Anzu:I've been here the whole time.

02:32:55Gamemaster:Oh my god, you actually, you have weight of guilt too.

02:32:56Johnny:This is the best reaction in the game.

02:32:58Johnny:this is the single best reaction in the entire game

02:33:02Johnny:you shit on Critical Role

02:33:02Argyle:I usually use shield block on myself

02:33:04Argyle:So I use glyphs of revenge

02:33:06Johnny:all the time for not knowing their characters

02:33:07Argyle:Well I changed characters

02:33:09Johnny:and you've had this for weeks

02:33:11Johnny:you have the advanced version

02:33:13Argyle:Three times

02:33:15Argyle:Alright

02:33:16Argyle:Yeah yeah yeah

02:33:19Argyle:So um

02:33:20Argyle:Okay

02:33:24Argyle:Actually, I didn't have this when I wasn't a full cleric.

02:33:24Gamemaster:Okay.

02:33:25Gamemaster:Okay.

02:33:28Johnny:Or on Zoom.

02:33:28Argyle:Like a cloistered...

02:33:29Argyle:But anyway, I have it.

02:33:30Anzu:Oh all right So I undo Epic

02:33:32Argyle:And with the weight of guilt, I can do...

02:33:34Argyle:I can make him stupefied, right?

02:33:37Gamemaster:Yes, so if he refuses,

02:33:38Argyle:So he has the option.

02:33:40Gamemaster:yeah, if he refuses,

02:33:41Gamemaster:you can either make him enfeebled or stupefied.

02:33:44Argyle:And I'm going to do this for Anzu!

02:33:48Argyle:He has to choose about Anzu.

02:33:49Gamemaster:Yeah, I think he's fine with just not doing damage

02:33:52Gamemaster:to Anzu specifically.

02:33:54Argyle:There you go

02:33:55Gamemaster:So you undo So it ends up just being Othello and Benny who take damage

02:34:05Argyle:Yeah.

02:34:08Gamemaster:Okay.

02:34:10Gamemaster:That was two actions.

02:34:12Gamemaster:I guess its third action is...

02:34:14Gamemaster:He's here.

02:34:15Gamemaster:We gotta try biting him.

02:34:18Gamemaster:I wanna get him diseased.

02:34:20Gamemaster:I want to give you the abyssal plague

02:34:25Argyle:He's now floating.

02:34:25Benny:Oh!

02:34:25Johnny:I'm over here like

02:34:25Anzu:kill

02:34:25Gamemaster:because of the benediction he misses

02:34:31Gamemaster:specifically because of the benediction and because he's frightened

02:34:35Gamemaster:because somebody's playing a really scary song

02:34:43Gamemaster:Benny it's your turn

02:34:46Benny:Oh!

02:34:48Benny:I was just so used to playing a rock.

02:34:50Gamemaster:for the one turn you were a rock

02:34:52Benny:I had no idea.

02:34:55Argyle:Anzu, do you know if they avoid healing?

02:34:55Benny:It was a lot went on.

02:34:55Johnny:it really got to him

02:34:55Anzu:I didn't figure that out

02:34:57Gamemaster:that is true

02:34:59Johnny:it really got to him

02:35:00Benny:People picked me up, put me down.

02:35:02Benny:I had an extra chance at things several times.

02:35:02Gamemaster:that's true

02:35:07Benny:Yeah, we're just going to go ahead.

02:35:10Argyle:Did you figure that out on your resistances and stuff?

02:35:12Argyle:would like positive

02:35:15Anzu:I figured out that they're not resistant

02:35:16Benny:This son of a bitch.

02:35:20Gamemaster:I, yeah, it would have come up on the, like, immunities thing.

02:35:21Anzu:to any kind of void damage

02:35:23Anzu:I don't know if that helps

02:35:24Anzu:. . .

02:35:26Argyle:because like if you

02:35:29Argyle:so then

02:35:33Gamemaster:They are not immune to void, is what you know.

02:35:34Argyle:okay so they're not void healing

02:35:38Argyle:okay

02:35:39Argyle:and did that door close behind it or do we see right behind it Okay

02:35:41Benny:well

02:35:42Gamemaster:What you doing, Benny?

02:35:43Gamemaster:You've wasted two actions.

02:35:44Gamemaster:yeah you guys are having a real tough time of it today for some reason

02:35:46Benny:yeah that'll happen rolling a three and then a seven

02:35:55Benny:Let me double check

02:36:00Gamemaster:no the door is still open You can for the record that like there should be you have like this cone here

02:36:09Gamemaster:of what you can actually see.

02:36:11Gamemaster:You know that the rest exists, but if things move around in those darker areas, you wouldn't

02:36:14Argyle:Yeah.

02:36:16Argyle:Are we are we leaving?

02:36:17Argyle:Are we going to fight?

02:36:18Argyle:Yeah.

02:36:25Benny:uh i don't think i have any better move than just swinging for a crit

02:36:25Johnny:I just don't know if our damage output is high enough to take on that many at once.

02:36:25Anzu:two or three, but there's already a fourth pushing through the walls as well.

02:36:30Anzu:So I don't know.

02:36:37Anzu:This would be a great time to have Egan.

02:36:39Anzu:We'd probably be done already if Egan was here.

02:36:50Benny:so we'll do that

02:36:55Argyle:Yeah, one more your quickened.

02:36:55Benny:Yeah, I know.

02:36:55Gamemaster:Okay.

02:37:04Benny:Yeah, we'll go for it again.

02:37:09Argyle:What'd you just say?

02:37:10Argyle:Yeah, I said we'll go for Egan.

02:37:11Benny:So we'll go for it again.

02:37:15Gamemaster:Yeah.

02:37:15Argyle:I couldn't tell if it was Egan or again.

02:37:16Gamemaster:Yeah.

02:37:17Benny:No.

02:37:18Gamemaster:No, this was part of his plan to kill Egan.

02:37:18Benny:So I ruled well on the last two.

02:37:21Gamemaster:yes unfortunately

02:37:24Gamemaster:those are misses still

02:37:25Argyle:Is going through doors.

02:37:25Benny:Yeah.

02:37:25Johnny:What's happening?

02:37:25Anzu:He's got a waste action stride.

02:37:26Gamemaster:anything else

02:37:27Gamemaster:it's the confused

02:37:30Gamemaster:corrupted one

02:37:44Argyle:Is going through doors.

02:37:46Johnny:You guys hear that?

02:37:46Gamemaster:it's the bored corrupted harlequin's turn

02:37:49Gamemaster:I didn think it would make that sound ignore that particular sound that the sound I was going for Who would see this Benny would see this

02:38:06Gamemaster:Johnny would see this. Argyle might.

02:38:08Gamemaster:Anzu definitely can.

02:38:12Gamemaster:In the wall behind you,

02:38:14Gamemaster:in that room that you guys were

02:38:16Gamemaster:running from, you watch

02:38:18Gamemaster:as it was being pushed

02:38:20Gamemaster:on, and

02:38:22Gamemaster:then a hand

02:38:24Gamemaster:pushes through

02:38:25Gamemaster:a gloved

02:38:27Gamemaster:blue and yellow checkered

02:38:30Gamemaster:hand of a harlequin

02:38:32Gamemaster:as another harlequin

02:38:34Gamemaster:pushes through

02:38:36Gamemaster:this area.

02:38:41Gamemaster:He

02:38:42Gamemaster:What would he

02:38:46Gamemaster:even do?

02:38:49Gamemaster:I guess

02:38:50Gamemaster:he could

02:38:51Gamemaster:He can give you some paranoia.

02:38:55Benny:enough paranoia for me

02:38:56Gamemaster:Yeah, he'll give you some paranoia.

02:39:00Gamemaster:I'm so sorry.

02:39:03Benny:weird sounds make me paranoid

02:39:06Benny:yeah we can go to the next

02:39:08Benny:character's turn

02:39:10Gamemaster:He'd have to walk forward a little bit.

02:39:13Gamemaster:No, not that far.

02:39:14Gamemaster:He doesn't want to be in the Dirge of Doom.

02:39:15Gamemaster:He can get Johnny here.

02:39:19Gamemaster:Let's do Johnny.

02:39:19Gamemaster:Johnny, he's going to give you some paranoia

02:39:21Gamemaster:or attempt to do so at least. Attempt that will save, please.

02:39:22Benny:okay

02:39:24Gamemaster:You are eligible to swap in your one if you so choose.

02:39:25Benny:I think you have to right click the roll.

02:39:25Johnny:I think I'll pass on that, but...

02:39:31Gamemaster:All right.

02:39:31Johnny:You think Johnny doesn't have paranoia 24-7?

02:39:36Gamemaster:Well, in this case, it looks like he does, in fact, have paranoia.

02:39:40Johnny:I would like to re-roll it, but it did not pop up in my little box down here.

02:39:40Gamemaster:That is a failure.

02:39:48Johnny:Oh.

02:39:49Gamemaster:Nope.

02:39:49Johnny:And I reloaded. I'm just taking a moment.

02:39:55Argyle:I had a spell I wanted to put on

02:40:00Argyle:Benny, but it creates a

02:40:00Benny:All avian characters have their max hit points reduced by 10?

02:40:00Johnny:Josh, I'm trying to reroll it.

02:40:00Gamemaster:.

02:40:01Argyle:status effect around him, and that's

02:40:04Argyle:just going to kill our bird.

02:40:13Benny:Oh, OK.

02:40:13Argyle:No, it's just an

02:40:14Benny:I'm going to try to get the point.

02:40:14Argyle:area effect and it lasts multiple turns.

02:40:20Johnny:Oh, reroll.

02:40:21Johnny:There we go.

02:40:28Gamemaster:Oh, that's a crit.

02:40:28Johnny:I have crit.

02:40:30Argyle:So we're not leaving, right?

02:40:30Benny:I mean,

02:40:30Johnny:unfriendly to all creatures

02:40:30Gamemaster:You are unaffected by the paranoia.

02:40:34Gamemaster:Okay, that's your turn.

02:40:37Johnny:I feel like maybe we should leave

02:40:39Argyle:Where are we?

02:40:41Johnny:there's more of these

02:40:44Johnny:that one's untouched

02:40:46Johnny:the other one's only a little injured

02:40:47Johnny:this guy's not even bloodied

02:40:52Argyle:Johnny?

02:40:53Argyle:Benny?

02:40:54Argyle:Benny?

02:40:56Benny:we're also really not that injured and we haven't,

02:40:58Gamemaster:Coming in what direction?

02:41:00Argyle:Okay. Does it look like the other harlequins are coming in that direction?

02:41:00Benny:been rolling well

02:41:00Johnny:We do have this one that's about to push through on our left too.

02:41:00Anzu:We're in a decent spot where we can hold here for now and run if we need to, but...

02:41:00Benny:and they kind of have

02:41:10Argyle:It seems like they're coming towards the door, maybe? Or no?

02:41:13Argyle:They're just on our left.

02:41:19Argyle:Yeah.

02:41:27Argyle:Okay.

02:41:28Gamemaster:Okay.

02:41:28Argyle:alright sounds good I will cast a spell then

02:41:30Anzu:It's silver.

02:41:32Argyle:moonlight ray

02:41:42Argyle:this should also

02:41:46Gamemaster:Okay.

02:41:46Argyle:I think it's cold iron

02:41:48Argyle:yeah

02:41:49Gamemaster:It's silver.

02:41:52Argyle:oh

02:41:54Argyle:that okay oh moonlight rays cold damages silver Okay yeah Cold you know Yeah Whatever

02:41:58Gamemaster:Yeah Yeah Yeah yeah um that hits

02:42:06Argyle:28!

02:42:07Argyle:28!

02:42:07Gamemaster:that hits

02:42:08Argyle:That hurts!

02:42:09Gamemaster:roll damage

02:42:11Gamemaster:absolutely

02:42:16Gamemaster:he takes 36 points of damage

02:42:20Gamemaster:and he is finally

02:42:21Gamemaster:bloodied

02:42:28Gamemaster:shoot out this moonlight ray

02:42:33Gamemaster:which deals magically enhanced

02:42:35Gamemaster:damage against this unholy creature

02:42:37Gamemaster:and you

02:42:40Gamemaster:manage to land the ray

02:42:43Gamemaster:in the mouth

02:42:44Gamemaster:and seem to have hit something important

02:42:47Gamemaster:there because there's this screeching

02:42:49Gamemaster:sound and before it was the

02:42:51Gamemaster:mouth itself that was kind of opening and closing

02:42:53Gamemaster:but you watch as the seam of the mouth descends down along the sides of the body,

02:42:59Gamemaster:and the entire front of the body falls open, forming an even larger orifice,

02:43:06Gamemaster:out of which this purple energy is emanating.

02:43:10Gamemaster:And you see that there are hands trying to crawl out of the mouth from the interior of it.

02:43:19Gamemaster:They don't seem to have enough force to come out yet,

02:43:21Gamemaster:but they are in there and they would like to leave.

02:43:25Argyle:Okay.

02:43:25Johnny:What the fuck is happening in here?

02:43:25Anzu:Gail.

02:43:26Argyle:I don't like this, but I will treat wounds on myself.

02:43:35Gamemaster:Okay.

02:43:36Argyle:DC 15.

02:43:38Argyle:Those are crit.

02:43:42Argyle:Great.

02:43:43Argyle:I get a hero point.

02:43:44Gamemaster:Nice.

02:43:48Argyle:And that's my turn.

02:43:51Gamemaster:Absolutely.

02:43:53Gamemaster:Anzu can you do me a favor and roll a dexterity Oh actually No I didn apply it I lied Don roll a dexterity because that doesn make any sense

02:43:55Argyle:Oh no did that go to the Harlequin Did he get that There we go

02:43:55Anzu:you 17

02:44:07Gamemaster:What is your reflex modifier, your reflex save modifier?

02:44:14Anzu:17.

02:44:15Gamemaster:Shoot.

02:44:16Gamemaster:Okay.

02:44:17Gamemaster:Roll a reflex save.

02:44:20Anzu:Are you worrying me?

02:44:25Anzu:I received a 30.

02:44:25Gamemaster:okay you go

02:44:29Anzu:Yes!

02:44:32Anzu:I'm so good at this game.

02:44:35Anzu:Okay.

02:44:36Anzu:I need to unleash my psyche.

02:44:39Anzu:Okay.

02:44:42Anzu:Should have done that last turn.

02:44:44Anzu:Actually, all I did was run, so it's better I didn't.

02:44:49Anzu:I want to do something, but not to...

02:44:53Anzu:oh why did that give me vision into the other room

02:44:55Gamemaster:Oh, it didn't.

02:44:56Anzu:um that's interesting

02:44:59Anzu:uh

02:45:00Anzu:no i could see into this room more than i could before

02:45:02Gamemaster:There was a slight gap in the wall, and I fixed it,

02:45:06Gamemaster:but it's now just permanently in your fog of War

02:45:09Gamemaster:that you add for a moment a glimpse into that other room.

02:45:15Anzu:oh oh it's if i select myself

02:45:15Gamemaster:Oh, I mean, you should have always been able to.

02:45:22Anzu:I can see less

02:45:24Anzu:because I guess it shows me what my line of sight is

02:45:25Johnny:Oh.

02:45:25Gamemaster:Oh.

02:45:28Anzu:so I can't see him when I'm selected, the bored one

02:45:30Gamemaster:But when it's not selected, I think it's combining yours and Othello's sight lines.

02:45:31Anzu:he shouldn't have it either

02:45:38Anzu:but anyway, no matter

02:45:40Anzu:I'm just, I think for now, going to send another

02:45:43Gamemaster:What can you see when you're not selected, then?

02:45:43Anzu:amped telekinetic projectile

02:45:45Anzu:if I unselect

02:45:50Gamemaster:Mm-hmm.

02:45:50Anzu:I get a bigger cone of vision

02:45:52Anzu:into the center room and can

02:45:54Anzu:see the board corrupted Harlequin that would make some sense I suppose

02:45:55Argyle:I can see the board crop Yeah

02:45:55Gamemaster:Oh maybe that for all of you Maybe your party is like sharing their site

02:46:05Gamemaster:Okay, one second.

02:46:06Anzu:Anyway, Othello, I mean, I'm sorry, Anzu can't.

02:46:06Gamemaster:Then...

02:46:10Anzu:I'm going to cast an Amped Telekinetic Projectile.

02:46:17Anzu:Do I want to, what else am I going to do on this turn?

02:46:21Anzu:Not too much else.

02:46:22Anzu:So, first I'm going to cast Sure Strike.

02:46:25Johnny:Oh.

02:46:25Gamemaster:Mm-hmm.

02:46:28Gamemaster:Mm-hmm.

02:46:28Gamemaster:It's...

02:46:28Anzu:Then I will cast Telekinetic Projectile Amped.

02:46:35Anzu:And I will make an attack roll.

02:46:42Anzu:I don't know if this is going to apply.

02:46:48Anzu:Oh, keep higher, it does.

02:46:52Anzu:Cool.

02:46:58Gamemaster:That's a good chunk of health.

02:47:03Anzu:He takes 42 points of damage.

02:47:10Gamemaster:Absolutely.

02:47:11Gamemaster:He is looking a bit rough for wear.

02:47:13Gamemaster:You can see that the bits of his body are starting to fray almost at the edges where the purple energy is emanating out of.

02:47:20Anzu:Mm-hmm.

02:47:20Gamemaster:He's almost starting to lose coherence a little bit.

02:47:22Anzu:and then does this give me

02:47:28Gamemaster:Okay.

02:47:28Anzu:do we do I want offense or defense probably I don't think the offense is going to make a

02:47:40Anzu:difference right now so I will calculate threats with my final action

02:47:45Anzu:give myself an AC and reflex save bump

02:47:51Anzu:And that's it

02:47:52Gamemaster:Okay.

02:47:55Gamemaster:Absolutely.

02:47:55Gamemaster:and uh sorry

02:48:00Benny:Woo, bring it, give it up for this guy

02:48:00Johnny:Who is this guy?

02:48:00Anzu:I'm in danger.

02:48:00Gamemaster:I need to, we need to find a volume for that.

02:48:03Gamemaster:If that's the, oh, I meant to select your turn.

02:48:06Gamemaster:If it's the end of your turn, then that means it's this guy's turn.

02:48:12Gamemaster:Yay, this guy.

02:48:15Gamemaster:Everybody, everybody say yay, this guy.

02:48:16Benny:Yay, this guy

02:48:18Johnny:Who is this guy?

02:48:19Johnny:Who is this guy?

02:48:20Gamemaster:This guy.

02:48:23Gamemaster:Anzu's in danger.

02:48:24Gamemaster:the wall

02:48:26Anzu:Where?

02:48:27Gamemaster:behind Anzu

02:48:29Gamemaster:similarly pierces

02:48:30Argyle:I wish these

02:48:30Benny:And he hears a scary song as soon as he gets to the wall.

02:48:30Johnny:Oh, no.

02:48:30Anzu:I was thinking the same thing

02:48:31Gamemaster:as another harlequin

02:48:34Gamemaster:pushes

02:48:36Gamemaster:through it

02:48:45Gamemaster:and he

02:48:46Argyle:I wish these guys grouped up more

02:48:46Gamemaster:hears a scary song

02:48:47Anzu:Sing

02:48:48Gamemaster:and he's

02:48:52Gamemaster:he's going to make a claw attack

02:48:52Anzu:Sing a song

02:48:53Argyle:these sons of bitches

02:48:56Anzu:Oh, sure.

02:49:00Argyle:Actually kind of convenient to have that door open or that wall open.

02:49:00Benny:What did Anzu do?

02:49:00Johnny:It's so dark.

02:49:00Gamemaster:he stood near the door

02:49:10Gamemaster:I mean stood near the wall where he was

02:49:12Gamemaster:telegraphing that he was going to push through

02:49:14Gamemaster:yeah

02:49:14Benny:Yeah, but he also got shot

02:49:16Benny:nine times like 50 cent in the other room.

02:49:18Anzu:Yeah.

02:49:19Gamemaster:you good?

02:49:21Anzu:Yeah.

02:49:23Anzu:Yeah.

02:49:26Anzu:I did not hear anything, so...

02:49:28Benny:I said

02:49:29Benny:well I said

02:49:29Anzu:Oh, that's pretty bad.

02:49:30Johnny:Okay.

02:49:31Benny:what did Anzu do and Josh was like

02:49:33Benny:he's standing by the wall I was like yeah but he got shot

02:49:35Benny:nine times like 50 cent in the other room

02:49:41Benny:he lived

02:49:42Benny:that's the whole

02:49:43Benny:did you see the movie

02:49:44Anzu:He got a 36.

02:49:46Anzu:Luckily, my AC is now 28 because I boosted it by 2, so it's not a crit.

02:49:52Gamemaster:Nice.

02:49:58Gamemaster:That is going to be 22 points of damage

02:50:00Argyle:have I gone yet Oh I just went

02:50:05Argyle:Reactive redemption thing!

02:50:06Gamemaster:Yeah.

02:50:08Gamemaster:Reactive redemption thing.

02:50:08Argyle:Is it too late?

02:50:09Argyle:Yeah.

02:50:10Argyle:Yeah.

02:50:12Gamemaster:Yeah, I will allow it.

02:50:13Argyle:Okay.

02:50:14Argyle:Oh, thank you.

02:50:16Gamemaster:He's gonna...

02:50:17Gamemaster:He's gonna, like, have it do damage.

02:50:18Argyle:Oh, I didn't know how to...

02:50:20Argyle:Okay.

02:50:20Gamemaster:oh my god what did you do

02:50:21Argyle:So he's going to... Sorry, guys.

02:50:25Argyle:where is this as an act

02:50:25Benny:Uh, uh.

02:50:25Gamemaster:don't you don't want to apply the effect anymore because it's too late because we've already done

02:50:31Argyle:where is this in my

02:50:33Argyle:okay

02:50:37Gamemaster:the damage um just uh what is he what kind of resistance does he have one second clips of

02:50:38Argyle:he will be

02:50:43Gamemaster:Redemption.

02:50:45Argyle:stupefied

02:50:45Gamemaster:Resistance to all damage against the triggering

02:50:47Gamemaster:damage equal to 2 plus

02:50:49Gamemaster:your level.

02:50:51Gamemaster:So you're 9, so you

02:50:51Argyle:okay

02:50:53Gamemaster:get 11 hit points back on Zoo.

02:50:55Argyle:Dupified

02:50:55Anzu:Very well.

02:50:57Gamemaster:And do you

02:50:58Gamemaster:want to make this guy enfeebled

02:51:00Gamemaster:or stupefied? You want to make him

02:51:00Argyle:Dupified

02:51:01Gamemaster:stupefied even though he just made a melee

02:51:02Argyle:Yeah, all these guys make melee attacks

02:51:03Gamemaster:attack? Fine. Be

02:51:05Gamemaster:like that.

02:51:06Argyle:and spells, I don't like it

02:51:07Argyle:that bastard

02:51:08Gamemaster:Okay.

02:51:08Gamemaster:stupefied two until the end of his next turn

02:51:15Gamemaster:and then he's going to roll a flat check

02:51:18Gamemaster:to see if he can cast a spell

02:51:19Gamemaster:he succeeds the flat check

02:51:19Anzu:Yes.

02:51:20Anzu:gosh how dare you try to bamboozle us like that

02:51:25Johnny:Yeah.

02:51:26Anzu:damn it

02:51:28Gamemaster:I'm sorry

02:51:32Gamemaster:uh yeah um on to reflex save

02:51:32Anzu:oh no

02:51:36Anzu:oh

02:51:37Argyle:You better crit on this, Anzu.

02:51:43Anzu:oh no

02:51:48Anzu:it's a good thing I did

02:51:51Anzu:freaking calculate freaking

02:51:52Anzu:calculations I got a 32

02:51:54Anzu:no No Oh that so bad

02:51:55Johnny:you Shadow Scythe

02:51:55Argyle:Do you have a dex thing that brings it up to a critical

02:51:55Gamemaster:uh that means you gonna take uh yeah um You succeeded so you only take half damage

02:52:06Argyle:Does he get the resistance to this, too?

02:52:08Gamemaster:No, it's to the effect.

02:52:08Argyle:Oh.

02:52:12Gamemaster:Another shadow siphon is fun.

02:52:12Johnny:Shadow Scythe.

02:52:14Gamemaster:Make it counteract.

02:52:17Gamemaster:Click the counteract button.

02:52:18Johnny:And I think if this works, then it should have damage for everyone this ends up hitting.

02:52:20Gamemaster:What?

02:52:24Johnny:Okay, so for everyone who takes damage by this.

02:52:25Gamemaster:Um, okay, a 29 against a rank 6 spell, correct? Yes, this is a rank 6 spell. Uh, a 29 is just barely a success. You do counteract. Um, any creatures that, yeah, sorry.

02:52:44Johnny:Yeah, so for anyone who takes damage with this, whatever damage you take is halved,

02:52:51Johnny:even if you succeed.

02:52:53Johnny:Halved is halved.

02:52:54Johnny:Where is the save on this?

02:52:55Argyle:Very good.

02:52:55Anzu:take 15 damage right now.

02:52:55Gamemaster:Yeah.

02:52:56Gamemaster:Correct.

02:52:57Gamemaster:You're going to take 15 damage.

02:52:59Gamemaster:And then Johnny is going to make a reflex save.

02:53:07Johnny:Oh, it's all the way back up here.

02:53:08Johnny:Oh, gosh.

02:53:09Johnny:I found it.

02:53:10Gamemaster:I can resend it if that would be easier.

02:53:10Johnny:We're good.

02:53:11Johnny:All right.

02:53:12Johnny:So, we're going to go ahead and save this.

02:53:13Johnny:We're going to go ahead and save this.

02:53:17Gamemaster:Because he stupefied, that lowers the DC.

02:53:22Gamemaster:That is a success.

02:53:23Gamemaster:so you also take 15 points of damage

02:53:24Argyle:Thank goodness.

02:53:24Johnny:Nice.

02:53:25Benny:Yes.

02:53:25Anzu:I'm waiting.

02:53:26Gamemaster:Argyle

02:53:27Gamemaster:make a reflex save

02:53:29Argyle:Yeah.

02:53:31Argyle:Yeah.

02:53:36Argyle:Wait.

02:53:40Anzu:I'm waiting.

02:53:40Argyle:Yeah.

02:53:44Anzu:Oh.

02:53:45Argyle:I saved you, Benny.

02:53:48Argyle:I saved you.

02:53:48Gamemaster:once again

02:53:49Gamemaster:with the mythic reroll

02:53:52Gamemaster:end the fact that he's stupefied

02:53:52Argyle:I saved you.

02:53:54Argyle:Ah I thought this game was way easier when you use

02:53:54Gamemaster:that just barely a critical success you take no damage and the spell ends before it gets to Benny

02:53:54Johnny:you Argyle is holding the team together right now

02:53:55Anzu:Wow Kind of sounds like Argyle is currently the MVP of this encounter

02:54:11Gamemaster:It is, of course, now Johnny's turn.

02:54:16Argyle:champion's reaction

02:54:18Johnny:Listen, it's the best reaction in the game.

02:54:22Argyle:the problem is

02:54:23Argyle:I kept forgetting because I'm usually either too far

02:54:25Johnny:We need to take this guy off the map.

02:54:25Gamemaster:Part of the problem with it is that both the ally that's getting attacked and the enemy have to be within your aura,

02:54:25Argyle:or I used my

02:54:27Argyle:shield reaction.

02:54:29Argyle:Since we're all...

02:54:30Argyle:Yeah.

02:54:36Argyle:Yeah.

02:54:36Gamemaster:which can be limiting if the field is larger, but this is a very cramped battle map, so...

02:54:37Anzu:Hit him with Cold Iron.

02:54:39Argyle:Yeah.

02:54:41Argyle:Yeah.

02:54:42Gamemaster:So...

02:54:44Johnny:So...

02:54:45Gamemaster:He's pretty bloodied.

02:54:45Johnny:How bloodied is he?

02:54:50Argyle:Yeah.

02:54:54Gamemaster:He's taken quite a beating at this point.

02:54:55Johnny:First I will...

02:54:57Anzu:But he's not mortal.

02:54:59Gamemaster:He's not mortal.

02:55:01Gamemaster:I mean, he's mortal, but he's not mortal.

02:55:02Johnny:I will shift Imminence!

02:55:04Gamemaster:You know?

02:55:05Johnny:And the Divine Spark returns.

02:55:07Anzu:Beauty.

02:55:07Gamemaster:Oh.

02:55:10Gamemaster:Okay.

02:55:12Gamemaster:Sure, try.

02:55:12Johnny:Then I will cast...

02:55:15Johnny:Sure Strike!

02:55:22Johnny:I'll do a super strike.

02:55:25Benny:Oof.

02:55:26Johnny:Arm myself.

02:55:26Gamemaster:Uh-uh.

02:55:30Johnny:And I will do my one damaging spell.

02:55:37Anzu:Oh, oh.

02:55:38Johnny:Needle darts. I don't have cold iron. I should get some cold iron.

02:55:42Gamemaster:Good crit.

02:55:42Johnny:I just have silver.

02:55:52Johnny:Incredible.

02:55:52Anzu:We like, we like.

02:56:00Johnny:So it's only letting me roll regular damage.

02:56:00Anzu:wait is it are they cold iron or no oh okay

02:56:00Gamemaster:Roll damage.

02:56:03Johnny:So whatever this is, doubled.

02:56:03Gamemaster:I'll just double it.

02:56:06Johnny:30 points of silver.

02:56:06Gamemaster:30 points.

02:56:09Gamemaster:30 points is not enough to kill it, but that is enough to bring Immortal.

02:56:18Johnny:Nah, it's just silver.

02:56:20Johnny:I don't have any cold iron.

02:56:22Gamemaster:It does also take 5 bleed damage.

02:56:26Gamemaster:So on its turn, it'll take that.

02:56:30Johnny:Um, that, that is all my things.

02:56:30Anzu:Oh no.

02:56:30Gamemaster:Excellent.

02:56:32Johnny:That's all I've got.

02:56:34Johnny:Kill it.

02:56:36Gamemaster:It is the hungry.

02:56:36Johnny:I'm still flying for some reason.

02:56:37Johnny:I thought we were leaving.

02:56:38Gamemaster:Corrupted.

02:56:38Johnny:So I'm just floating here.

02:56:39Gamemaster:Yeah, absolutely, that's fine.

02:56:41Gamemaster:What is this guy gonna do?

02:56:45Gamemaster:I don't think this will work, but it will be funny if it does.

02:56:50Gamemaster:He's gonna cast sleep on you guys.

02:56:53Johnny:Okay.

02:56:54Anzu:That's going to work on me.

02:56:56Anzu:I don't know how sleep works in this game.

02:57:00Benny:Hmm.

02:57:00Johnny:Ultimates, okay.

02:57:00Anzu:gill

02:57:00Gamemaster:It is a five-foot burst.

02:57:01Benny:Well,

02:57:02Johnny:Incapacitation, though.

02:57:03Johnny:Kill?

02:57:06Gamemaster:Oh, yeah, you get to attack him first.

02:57:08Gamemaster:That is a hit.

02:57:11Anzu:i hope

02:57:12Gamemaster:Kill?

02:57:13Johnny:Kill?

02:57:15Gamemaster:Kill?

02:57:15Gamemaster:Kill?

02:57:24Gamemaster:How many hit points do you think he has?

02:57:28Anzu:I think he's got like 12.

02:57:29Johnny:17.

02:57:30Argyle:Oh, shit.

02:57:30Johnny:Oh, wow.

02:57:30Gamemaster:Hmm?

02:57:34Gamemaster:That is crazy.

02:57:37Gamemaster:He does have 12.

02:57:39Gamemaster:That was a good guess, Tanner.

02:57:41Gamemaster:18 is enough.

02:57:43Gamemaster:He goes to cast Sleep, which does not work like Sleep in 5e, but before he gets it off,

02:57:52Gamemaster:Benny cuts him down His body collapses and he melts into the floor

02:57:55Anzu:What him to sleep

02:58:00Argyle:you I don like that

02:58:05Gamemaster:melt melt yeah yeah

02:58:09Anzu:He would melt into the floor.

02:58:14Gamemaster:melt melt into the floor is the wrong it's the the wrong thing you know how

02:58:21Gamemaster:Have you ever been to, like, a science museum, and they have the representation of space-time, where they're like, gravity affects space because there's the heavy ball on the piece of fabric?

02:58:22Anzu:Yeah.

02:58:25Argyle:Portion.

02:58:25Anzu:Terrible.

02:58:36Gamemaster:That's what happens to this guy.

02:58:38Argyle:Cool.

02:58:38Gamemaster:The entire floor just kind of indents, and then it springs back and he's gone.

02:58:43Gamemaster:Um, you killed him, so I guess it's your turn now.

02:58:45Anzu:Terrible.

02:58:52Gamemaster:Betty.

02:58:54Anzu:Gil?

02:58:55Argyle:He didn't make a big enough door?

02:59:03Gamemaster:You can attempt to tumble through.

02:59:05Gamemaster:Yeah, you could do a little bit of tumbling.

02:59:07Gamemaster:Tumbling.

02:59:10Gamemaster:No.

02:59:11Argyle:He's not even that furious then.

02:59:13Gamemaster:He did just zap two of you with lightning.

02:59:13Argyle:He's just a mildly annoyed guy.

02:59:17Argyle:A real furious guy would have made a door big enough for a child.

02:59:19Gamemaster:He did something that's a little...

02:59:21Gamemaster:Do you want him to be angrier?

02:59:25Argyle:Yeah.

02:59:25Johnny:Period.

02:59:25Gamemaster:Is that the problem?

02:59:27Gamemaster:I haven't made him angry enough?

02:59:30Gamemaster:You have to make an acrobatics check against its reflex DC.

02:59:33Gamemaster:And if you succeed, you get to go through.

02:59:35Gamemaster:And if you don't succeed, you stay where you are.

02:59:43Gamemaster:29 against his what is lowering this Is this goddamn stupefied again Yeah it the fear

02:59:55Argyle:We feared

03:00:05Gamemaster:It's the frightened.

03:00:07Gamemaster:Yeah, no, that's a success.

03:00:08Gamemaster:You get through him.

03:00:09Argyle:He's too stupid to see this child

03:00:09Gamemaster:yeah you can attempt to solve the puzzle

03:00:12Argyle:rolling under him.

03:00:25Argyle:Oh.

03:00:25Johnny:Oof.

03:00:26Gamemaster:oh there's an upswing that's a crit

03:00:33Gamemaster:yeah no that is

03:00:38Gamemaster:that is a crit

03:00:39Gamemaster:okay so the first one's a crit

03:00:48Gamemaster:but it is a hit

03:00:49Gamemaster:okay

03:00:51Gamemaster:that's 44 points and then 16 points

03:00:55Gamemaster:he's injured he's you know that's the first time

03:00:58Gamemaster:he's been touched but

03:00:59Gamemaster:you have taken a good chunk out

03:01:01Gamemaster:for your opening move.

03:01:07Gamemaster:You have one action remaining, I believe.

03:01:19Gamemaster:Trip has an attack tag,

03:01:21Gamemaster:so you'd have to map for it. Oh, wait, no, you have assurance.

03:01:24Gamemaster:You take it back.

03:01:26Gamemaster:Oh.

03:03:09Gamemaster:I know, I know he can't cast that.

03:03:11Johnny:Oh, no.

03:03:13Gamemaster:I was just looking through his stat block, and I'm like, why does he have this?

03:03:15Argyle:ah

03:03:16Gamemaster:Why would this be relevant? It takes a day to cast.

03:03:19Gamemaster:Uh, anyway, we're gonna do this instead.

03:03:19Argyle:the black Anzu

03:03:25Johnny:It's an on two if I've ever seen one.

03:03:25Anzu:Great.

03:03:26Gamemaster:I'm gonna roll a d3.

03:03:29Gamemaster:Odds to Johnny Argyle.

03:03:30Gamemaster:that's Anzu if I've ever seen one

03:03:39Gamemaster:attempt that will save

03:03:41Gamemaster:good roll good roll

03:03:42Anzu:Ooh.

03:03:43Johnny:Come on, bird.

03:03:46Argyle:oh

03:03:49Johnny:Oh.

03:03:52Gamemaster:you're stunned but you're not

03:03:54Gamemaster:controlled by this dominate

03:03:56Gamemaster:absolutely

03:04:00Johnny:Wait, is he stunned one until...

03:04:00Anzu:If he had dominated me,

03:04:00Gamemaster:Okay, it's the board corrupted Harlequin's turn.

03:04:07Johnny:Until the next time you make your daily preparations?

03:04:07Gamemaster:No, the way that stunned works is at the start of your turn, for each stunned value you have,

03:04:19Gamemaster:you lose one action, but it gets rid of the stunned at the same time.

03:04:22Gamemaster:So he's going to start next turn with one less action, and then the stunned will go

03:04:26Gamemaster:away.

03:04:27Johnny:Okay.

03:04:29Anzu:that would have been more related to that duration, I assume.

03:04:30Johnny:Okay.

03:04:30Gamemaster:Yes.

03:04:33Gamemaster:Yes.

03:04:34Gamemaster:Yes.

03:04:35Johnny:I saw that and was terrified.

03:04:37Gamemaster:I guess, technically, if this guy did his daily preparations immediately before Anzu's next turn, then it would also go away.

03:04:38Johnny:How can they cast somebody's spells?

03:04:48Gamemaster:It's just not really relevant in this particular scenario.

03:04:52Gamemaster:Anyway, this guy's gonna cast Slow.

03:04:56Gamemaster:As soon as I find it. I know it's in his spellbook. There it is.

03:05:00Argyle:Give it a one.

03:05:00Gamemaster:These guys are made out of magic.

03:05:04Gamemaster:I don't know what to tell ya.

03:05:07Gamemaster:He's gonna cast Slow on...

03:05:08Johnny:This is my worst save.

03:05:11Gamemaster:You know what I'm gonna do?

03:05:12Gamemaster:I'm gonna roll a d3.

03:05:15Gamemaster:Oh, actually, wait.

03:05:15Gamemaster:I don't even think he can...

03:05:17Argyle:Give it a one.

03:05:17Gamemaster:He can't see Anzu.

03:05:19Gamemaster:I'm gonna roll a d126.

03:05:24Gamemaster:If it's even, it's Johnny.

03:05:26Gamemaster:If it's odd, it's Argyle.

03:05:30Argyle:Yeah!

03:05:30Gamemaster:it's even

03:05:32Argyle:Yeah!

03:05:32Argyle:Oh!

03:05:33Gamemaster:okay

03:05:36Gamemaster:I'm so sorry

03:05:38Johnny:I have so many hero points

03:05:40Gamemaster:attempt that fortitude save please

03:05:42Gamemaster:okay

03:05:44Johnny:hang on

03:05:44Johnny:mythic points

03:05:45Gamemaster:that's a crit

03:05:45Johnny:amazing

03:05:48Argyle:Oh!

03:05:48Gamemaster:you can't be stopped

03:05:48Argyle:

03:05:48Argyle:Oh!

03:05:48Argyle:Oh!

03:05:48Argyle:Oh!

03:05:49Argyle:Oh!

03:05:50Johnny:this guy in here

03:05:52Gamemaster:or slowed

03:05:53Gamemaster:and then he use his last action to shuffle on in Okay now it your turn Okay

03:05:59Anzu:you The gang all here

03:06:00Argyle:Thank you travel existence

03:06:12Gamemaster:Okay!

03:06:14Argyle:uh

03:06:15Johnny:Why is every device

03:06:15Gamemaster:Okay!

03:06:16Gamemaster:um

03:06:16Johnny:insane?

03:06:18Johnny:Why?

03:06:19Gamemaster:you're just

03:06:19Anzu:What this means.

03:06:22Johnny:They don't like bleed to death out your nose.

03:06:23Gamemaster:filling that whole room

03:06:25Argyle:I should be able to put this to get those two, right?

03:06:25Anzu:That sounds bad.

03:06:26Gamemaster:no there's a um

03:06:31Argyle:I just don't know how to do that.

03:06:34Gamemaster:I don't think you can

03:06:35Gamemaster:uh

03:06:36Argyle:Oh, it's so unfortunate.

03:06:37Gamemaster:oh wait actually

03:06:40Gamemaster:uh you can but it'll also

03:06:42Gamemaster:the only way to do it would be to

03:06:44Gamemaster:also get uh you

03:06:46Gamemaster:and Johnny and Anzu

03:06:48Gamemaster:in it as well.

03:06:49Argyle:Oh.

03:06:51Anzu:and the walls, right?

03:06:51Gamemaster:Because of how

03:06:52Gamemaster:your sight lines work?

03:06:55Argyle:So what do you guys think?

03:06:55Johnny:I'd prefer not to.

03:06:55Gamemaster:Yeah, because

03:06:55Gamemaster:you can't put it in an area that

03:06:58Gamemaster:you can't see.

03:07:03Argyle:You guys okay with getting hit?

03:07:04Anzu:No.

03:07:05Gamemaster:You're just gonna get your existence unraveled

03:07:08Gamemaster:a little bit.

03:07:09Argyle:Not that bad.

03:07:10Anzu:Very low on hit points.

03:07:11Argyle:Okay.

03:07:13Argyle:Which, does anyone look more hurt?

03:07:15Anzu:Me.

03:07:16Gamemaster:Oh, of these two, yeah, nobody's touched the board-corrupted Harlequin, so he looks fine.

03:07:17Argyle:No, the guys.

03:07:18Argyle:Yes.

03:07:20Anzu:Uh...

03:07:25Argyle:all right i'm gonna do this top one i don't like that shit

03:07:27Gamemaster:Oh, his thing, I don't know if I actually described it, his legs have grown such that

03:07:34Gamemaster:his head is being cut off by the ceiling, so you can just see the bottom half of his

03:07:39Gamemaster:head as the top half is clipping through the ceiling.

03:07:42Argyle:also i can hold it and the other guy can't just step out of the room i couldn't get it in a

03:07:43Gamemaster:Okay, that's fine.

03:07:46Gamemaster:Um, okay, absolutely.

03:07:48Argyle:different way.

03:07:52Argyle:For unravel existence, when I put the

03:07:53Gamemaster:Uh...

03:07:54Gamemaster:Oh yeah no that a weird thing with this update that I really hate

03:07:54Argyle:burst it says I can It giving me the option to only target enemies allies or both okay so I didn see anything in the wording that makes sense

03:08:06Gamemaster:Yeah, it's because it doesn't know inherently.

03:08:10Gamemaster:If you select one of the options, it might go away.

03:08:14Gamemaster:What happens if you just X out the dialogue?

03:08:19Argyle:I exit out does that do anything

03:08:20Argyle:there we go

03:08:21Gamemaster:It's still there.

03:08:21Gamemaster:Okay, that's great.

03:08:22Gamemaster:alright so this guy has to make a fort save

03:10:28Gamemaster:of his body. Argyle's

03:10:29Gamemaster:shining and covered in floating

03:10:31Gamemaster:broken shields. And also

03:10:34Gamemaster:a regular shield.

03:10:36Gamemaster:Uh, I have no idea

03:10:38Gamemaster:what's going on with Odzu.

03:10:40Gamemaster:He's in a light hurricane.

03:10:43Gamemaster:And then

03:10:43Gamemaster:Benny is completely fine. Unaffected.

03:10:46Argyle:Yeah.

03:10:47Argyle:He was formerly a gecko.

03:10:48Gamemaster:Unbothered King. Anzu, it's your turn. Your calculate threats is gone. You were stunned.

03:10:52Argyle:All right.

03:10:55Argyle:Where do you think the chicken wing,

03:10:55Anzu:Tough.

03:10:55Gamemaster:You're no longer stunned. You have two actions.

03:11:02Anzu:That really hamstrings me, doesn't it?

03:11:07Anzu:First, I will have Othello give me some healing.

03:11:08Gamemaster:Two birds have hamstrings.

03:11:12Gamemaster:yes birds have hamstrings

03:11:17Gamemaster:sorry I just had to double check

03:11:18Gamemaster:that's fair

03:11:21Argyle:part of the chicken wing, Josh?

03:11:23Anzu:...

03:11:24Gamemaster:ooooh

03:11:25Anzu:I'm less dead

03:11:27Gamemaster:Othello heals Anzu

03:11:32Anzu:and then I reach my hand

03:11:37Anzu:out to the

03:11:38Anzu:furious harlequin in front of me

03:11:41Anzu:and I try to

03:11:42Gamemaster:Okay.

03:11:43Anzu:reap some of his

03:11:45Anzu:life force

03:11:46Anzu:and I cast Vampiric Feast

03:11:49Gamemaster:That sounds like a scary spell.

03:11:55Anzu:Well, he's probably going to critically succeed.

03:11:55Gamemaster:I don't know if you should be allowed to do that.

03:11:57Gamemaster:I roll a fort save.

03:12:00Johnny:Nice.

03:12:00Anzu:on this.

03:12:00Gamemaster:He regularly succeeded on this.

03:12:05Anzu:Okay, so he'll take half damage.

03:12:08Gamemaster:Okay.

03:12:09Gamemaster:Okay.

03:12:10Anzu:That's not bad.

03:12:15Gamemaster:He takes 19 points of damage, so you get 9 temporary hit points.

03:12:22Anzu:Perfect.

03:12:27Anzu:Those are my two actions.

03:12:30Argyle:I have 29 AC right now.

03:12:30Anzu:I just looked at this gif

03:12:30Gamemaster:Okay.

03:12:31Gamemaster:It's this guy's turn.

03:12:33Gamemaster:He's stupefied.

03:12:34Gamemaster:He's frightened.

03:12:36Gamemaster:He's flanked.

03:12:37Gamemaster:He's having a bad go of it.

03:12:46Anzu:I like this

03:12:49Gamemaster:Wait, sorry, what did Noah send?

03:12:51Gamemaster:Oh.

03:12:53Gamemaster:I don't like that at all.

03:12:57Gamemaster:Um...

03:13:00Argyle:Yeah.

03:13:00Anzu:Sorry.

03:13:00Gamemaster:Yeah, I guess he could do a magic missile.

03:13:05Gamemaster:Well, we'll start with a ray of enfeeblement.

03:13:08Gamemaster:Oh, never mind.

03:13:10Gamemaster:We will.

03:13:11Gamemaster:We start with a ray of enfeeblement.

03:13:12Gamemaster:It's unfortunate that I wasted that natural 20 on just seeing if he's allowed to do it.

03:13:13Argyle:

03:13:13Argyle:Benny like

03:13:16Gamemaster:But first, that's a hit.

03:13:20Gamemaster:Okay, roll damage, Mr. Bennigan.

03:13:26Gamemaster:He isn't bloodied yet.

03:13:30Johnny:Who's next?

03:13:30Anzu:Thank you weak weak yeah you don want to be hamstrung by this

03:13:30Gamemaster:he is now bloodied

03:13:33Argyle:duh

03:13:45Gamemaster:ray of enfeeblement at will

03:13:49Gamemaster:actually at Benny

03:14:21Gamemaster:missile to the face

03:14:25Argyle:oh did dirt to doom just expire

03:14:25Johnny:whoa

03:14:37Gamemaster:30 points of force damage.

03:14:39Gamemaster:Many.

03:14:39Johnny:that's a lot of force damage

03:14:42Johnny:that's a level 3 magic missile

03:14:42Gamemaster:And that's the end of his turn.

03:14:45Gamemaster:Johnny, it's your turn.

03:14:47Johnny:that's crazy

03:14:47Johnny:yeah

03:14:49Argyle:no

03:14:49Gamemaster:Dirge of Doom did just expire.

03:14:50Johnny:that's what you think

03:14:51Argyle:we need that

03:14:51Gamemaster:Nobody's afraid anymore.

03:14:55Johnny:I clear my throat and I go,

03:14:55Gamemaster:um

03:14:57Johnny:I'm sorry.

03:15:00Johnny:Yeah.

03:15:01Johnny:Actually roll this,

03:15:01Johnny:you know,

03:15:08Johnny:that's over.

03:15:09Johnny:Uh,

03:15:10Johnny:I think that's just for one round then,

03:15:12Johnny:unless that was a success at this level.

03:15:18Gamemaster:I don't know

03:15:19Gamemaster:wait a second

03:15:20Gamemaster:level based

03:15:20Johnny:It's a little,

03:15:21Johnny:it's a little,

03:15:21Johnny:Oh, that is a success. Amazing.

03:15:21Gamemaster:DCs

03:15:23Gamemaster:for what level

03:15:23Gamemaster:are you

03:15:24Gamemaster:26. That is a success.

03:15:24Argyle:No.

03:15:25Anzu:Mm-hmm.

03:15:28Gamemaster:That is the DC at your level.

03:15:32Gamemaster:Let's do this one.

03:15:33Johnny:In that case,

03:15:33Argyle:Yeah.

03:15:34Johnny:I just clear my throat

03:15:37Johnny:and go,

03:15:37Johnny:and then I will just start to yell,

03:15:42Johnny:do you guys know the song

03:15:43Johnny:War Pigs by Black Sabbath?

03:15:46Gamemaster:Hmm.

03:15:46Anzu:Mm-hmm.

03:15:46Gamemaster:Absolutely Which guy

03:15:47Johnny:I just have to go,

03:15:48Johnny:generals gathered in their masses,

03:15:51Johnny:as a cool electric guitar comes in.

03:15:54Argyle:That like the song in Argyle summer camp He was climbing ropes

03:16:01Johnny:That insane This guy still standing Jeez

03:16:08Gamemaster:You just haven't hit him all that much.

03:16:17Johnny:You really killed that dude.

03:16:19Johnny:Okay.

03:16:23Johnny:You guys probably got that one.

03:16:24Johnny:We got other stuff happening.

03:16:25Argyle:Does this move them?

03:16:25Gamemaster:Who are you targeting?

03:16:25Johnny:Look at this dimensional drop on...

03:16:30Johnny:No, it just drops them.

03:16:34Johnny:So they go prone.

03:16:34Argyle:Ah.

03:16:34Argyle:Good.

03:16:38Johnny:We'll do it on...

03:16:40Johnny:Well, these guys are pretty injured.

03:16:44Johnny:We'll do it on the one that's behind the door.

03:16:51Gamemaster:Okay, absolutely.

03:16:52Gamemaster:Let's make this reflex save for this guy.

03:16:54Johnny:I think he ends up prone, if that's how that works.

03:16:55Argyle:Oh, no, that's optimal.

03:16:55Anzu:Perfect.

03:16:58Gamemaster:He succeeded, so he falls 10 feet.

03:17:09Gamemaster:I just need to double check.

03:17:10Gamemaster:If you take any amount of damage from falling, you fall prone.

03:17:14Gamemaster:And if you fall more than 5 feet, you take bludgeoning damage equal to half the distance

03:17:17Gamemaster:you fall.

03:17:18Gamemaster:He takes 5 bludgeoning damage and falls prone.

03:17:22Johnny:Nice.

03:17:22Gamemaster:That is optimal.

03:17:23Johnny:That is...

03:17:25Argyle:That's a fun spell.

03:17:25Johnny:Oh, no!

03:17:26Johnny:I made him too strong.

03:17:28Johnny:I know...

03:17:28Gamemaster:You've made one of the classic blunders.

03:17:29Johnny:I know.

03:17:34Johnny:I'm saving. I got it because I was like,

03:17:36Johnny:oh, it makes him prone, and then when we fight Giant,

03:17:38Johnny:I can make Giant prone on turn one.

03:17:43Gamemaster:That's true, actually.

03:17:45Gamemaster:That's, you know, that's pretty scary, actually.

03:17:47Johnny:I am Johnny.

03:17:48Gamemaster:Don't do that.

03:17:48Johnny:I am Johnny.

03:17:50Gamemaster:I don't know if that would end

03:17:52Argyle:Just.

03:17:52Argyle:he just falls down the road and as he falling we like shoot him shoot him shoot him

03:17:53Gamemaster:well for you to be honest

03:17:53Johnny:Thank you I don know how it works

03:17:54Gamemaster:so he two miles tall he falls through a portal that ends 10 feet above where he was

03:18:06Gamemaster:so so he falls two miles and he falls two miles and 10 feet because that's how tall he is but he

03:18:17Gamemaster:also only falls 10 feet because it's just his feet going down i don't know how that works i

03:18:22Gamemaster:I don't know if this spell makes sense for creatures that are, like, less than ten feet tall?

03:18:25Argyle:But he could fall prone.

03:18:25Johnny:I'm giving you a heads up that I'm probably going to attempt it.

03:18:25Anzu:Figure it out.

03:18:28Gamemaster:I mean, more than ten feet tall?

03:18:29Argyle:He would fall prone. That is more than 10 feet.

03:18:33Johnny:So, this is...

03:18:33Gamemaster:Yeah, you're gonna attempt it, and we'll have to figure it out, is what's gonna happen.

03:18:37Johnny:I know they're whatever it is to mental resistance, but I'm going to bone mow this dude anyway.

03:18:43Gamemaster:Oh, he's getting bond mode.

03:18:46Gamemaster:Make a diplomacy check against his will, DC.

03:18:52Gamemaster:Oh, I didn't mean to do that.

03:18:52Argyle:Hello.

03:18:53Johnny:A success.

03:18:55Johnny:Oh.

03:19:03Gamemaster:Not feeling it.

03:19:04Johnny:Guy goes, I'm done.

03:19:06Johnny:He does that, and then he takes

03:19:08Johnny:a little bit of damage.

03:19:11Johnny:Wherever

03:19:12Johnny:this one is.

03:19:16Gamemaster:Mental damage equal to your level.

03:19:18Johnny:He takes, I think he's resistance.

03:19:19Johnny:He takes whatever he's resistant.

03:19:22Gamemaster:Oh, whoops, I hit the wrong button.

03:19:25Johnny:I look at him and I go,

03:19:26Gamemaster:He takes...

03:19:27Johnny:Marla Quinn, I haven't laughed once this whole fight.

03:19:32Gamemaster:Unfortunately, he takes no damage from that.

03:19:36Johnny:Oh, no.

03:19:38Johnny:He's that resistant to mental damage?

03:19:39Gamemaster:But...

03:19:40Gamemaster:He's pretty resistant to mental damage.

03:19:43Johnny:Well, at least he has the effect on him.

03:19:45Gamemaster:He does have the effect on him.

03:19:47Gamemaster:And he's on the ground.

03:19:48Gamemaster:that's the end of your turn, yeah?

03:19:52Johnny:Yep, that's all I got.

03:19:54Gamemaster:Okay, so I have a question for you guys.

03:19:57Gamemaster:It's 11.

03:19:58Gamemaster:I don't think we're...

03:20:00Argyle:One more round.

03:20:00Johnny:Yeah.

03:20:00Anzu:I'm in for another round if you guys want.

03:20:00Gamemaster:this fight in the next 10 minutes.

03:20:02Gamemaster:But if you want to, like, go one more round

03:20:04Gamemaster:if you guys are okay with it to see where it is,

03:20:06Gamemaster:we can do that. I'm just letting you know.

03:20:08Gamemaster:We are at our normal stopping point.

03:20:11Argyle:Yeah.

03:20:13Gamemaster:Okay.

03:20:14Gamemaster:So we'll do one more round and see where we end up.

03:20:16Gamemaster:I, you know, uh,

03:20:17Gamemaster:who knows where that will be.

03:20:20Gamemaster:That will bring us then to Benny.

03:20:30Gamemaster:Okay, go for it.

03:20:35Gamemaster:This dude is, like, pinched in a not-good spot right now.

03:20:41Gamemaster:Oh, I'm so sorry.

03:20:52Gamemaster:I think we should...

03:20:54Gamemaster:We should change it so that you get the mythic point

03:20:57Gamemaster:not on a natural one, but on a natural two.

03:21:00Argyle:You know, you roll 2dc

03:21:00Johnny:Oh, sorry.

03:21:00Gamemaster:Just to make it slightly different.

03:21:04Gamemaster:That's a crit.

03:21:06Gamemaster:He is, in fact, bloodied this time, yes.

03:21:21Gamemaster:36 points of damage.

03:21:23Argyle:2d6

03:21:23Gamemaster:Yeah.

03:21:24Argyle:You got 2 of the 3

03:21:26Argyle:And you got 36 points

03:21:29Argyle:Damn it.

03:21:30Johnny:That's wild.

03:21:30Gamemaster:absolutely

03:21:32Gamemaster:yeah

03:21:33Argyle:That was stupid.

03:21:36Argyle:That was stupid.

03:21:36Gamemaster:crazy

03:21:39Johnny:That's such a big job.

03:21:40Gamemaster:okay

03:21:41Gamemaster:he is uh bloodied

03:21:44Gamemaster:but he's not looking good

03:21:46Gamemaster:um oh I don't think

03:21:48Gamemaster:I described this guy to you either I'm sorry

03:21:50Gamemaster:he like went through the wall and the whole thing

03:21:52Gamemaster:um his

03:21:54Gamemaster:his uh whole deal where the purple energy is coming out of this guy is his eyeballs They are bright glowing purple

03:21:59Argyle:Hmm Thank you

03:22:00Johnny:you No

03:22:05Gamemaster:And at the point

03:22:06Gamemaster:that he's bloodied you can see that they're starting

03:22:08Gamemaster:to tear as energy behind them

03:22:11Gamemaster:is actually pushing on the mask

03:22:12Gamemaster:and bursting them open. And you can see

03:22:15Gamemaster:movement on the inside because there's stuff

03:22:17Gamemaster:going on in there.

03:22:19Gamemaster:Anything else you want to do?

03:22:22Gamemaster:Yeah,

03:22:22Gamemaster:that's fair. After I

03:22:24Gamemaster:said there was movement going on in his head.

03:22:25Argyle:you do have a mythic point

03:22:25Johnny:Kill, kill, kill.

03:22:34Gamemaster:Not with that roll.

03:22:37Argyle:now because from the first one

03:22:39Argyle:yeah

03:22:40Gamemaster:It's free.

03:22:43Gamemaster:That is a hit.

03:22:54Gamemaster:28.

03:22:55Anzu:He's got 12 hit points.

03:22:57Gamemaster:That's pretty good.

03:23:00Gamemaster:He is mortal.

03:23:02Gamemaster:He's still alive, but you've brought him from being just barely bloodied to just barely alive.

03:23:12Gamemaster:That is not correct this time, I'm sorry.

03:23:18Gamemaster:Yeah.

03:23:19Gamemaster:It's this guy's turn.

03:23:21Gamemaster:He's on the ground.

03:23:23Gamemaster:He's off guard.

03:23:24Gamemaster:he's frightened

03:23:25Argyle:Oh, no.

03:23:25Johnny:He knows the secret.

03:23:25Anzu:Boo.

03:23:25Gamemaster:but he's a spellcaster

03:23:28Gamemaster:and it is optimal to be on the ground

03:23:30Gamemaster:I'm sorry

03:23:34Gamemaster:yeah I mean that is

03:23:36Gamemaster:I learned from the best

03:23:39Gamemaster:I also I mean we have to try

03:23:45Gamemaster:this it's got to work at some point

03:23:47Gamemaster:right

03:23:47Gamemaster:yeah

03:23:54Gamemaster:Do I go for Anzu and Johnny or Argyle and Johnny You guys are closer We go for you guys

03:23:55Argyle:All right all right

03:23:55Johnny:Thank you Oh but it in hesitation

03:23:55Anzu:I do not know

03:24:08Johnny:Well, what is this yellow?

03:24:09Johnny:That's crazy.

03:24:10Gamemaster:It is incapacitation.

03:24:13Gamemaster:Any creature of more than twice the spell's rank

03:24:13Argyle:It's fifth and we're 9th.

03:24:17Gamemaster:treats the result of their check.

03:24:18Gamemaster:Are you more than level 10?

03:24:21Johnny:I like to think so.

03:24:23Gamemaster:Okay.

03:24:25Argyle:I'm going to reroll.

03:24:25Johnny:We're wide awake.

03:24:25Anzu:Oh.

03:24:25Gamemaster:Unfortunately, that doesn't matter.

03:24:27Anzu:Oh.

03:24:30Gamemaster:Performer's Heart brings that up to critical success for Johnny.

03:24:34Gamemaster:And regular old Natural 20 brings it up to critical success for Argyle.

03:24:38Gamemaster:No one feels sleepy today.

03:24:51Gamemaster:And then I guess he'll stand up.

03:24:55Argyle:Mm-hmm.

03:24:55Gamemaster:it's this guy's turn oh he's got persistent force damage and he's off guard uh because you guys are

03:25:03Gamemaster:mean and you're bullying these guys just because they want to eat your souls it's kind of rude

03:25:08Gamemaster:uh of you specifically um i don't think this guy has used uh has he where's the spell slot he

03:25:16Gamemaster:hasn't he hasn't magic mizzled yet he also hasn't rave enfeebled yet i like that that's a classic

03:25:22Gamemaster:the combo. We're going to do a Ray of Enfeeblement.

03:25:25Argyle:Argyle's already enfeebled if that changes the calculus

03:25:25Johnny:What do you think Enfeeble is going to do to me?

03:25:25Gamemaster:We're going to do it at

03:25:26Gamemaster:Argyle because I feel like he's

03:25:28Gamemaster:deflected too much stuff to Johnny recently.

03:25:33Argyle:yep

03:25:34Gamemaster:Oh, is Argyle already enfeebled?

03:25:37Gamemaster:He is. Fine, we'll

03:25:38Gamemaster:go for Johnny. Johnny!

03:25:39Gamemaster:Johnny!

03:25:43Johnny:I...

03:25:44Johnny:Okay.

03:25:45Gamemaster:Nothing, but he's doing the spell anyway.

03:25:51Gamemaster:Okay,

03:25:51Gamemaster:Hey Johnny is enfeebled too and it doesn really change much Johnny currently has a minus two strength modifier Not that

03:25:55Argyle:you Yeah that do

03:25:55Johnny:all my attacks

03:26:07Gamemaster:that does anything. And then we're then we're gonna do the classic nine magic

03:26:12Gamemaster:missile darts right into Argyle's face, because you'll you'll let me get that

03:26:15Argyle:Yeah.

03:26:16Gamemaster:one, right?

03:26:19Gamemaster:it has to be an ally

03:26:19Argyle:Can I champion reaction that?

03:26:21Argyle:Or does it have to be...

03:26:23Argyle:okay

03:26:24Gamemaster:you're not an ally unfortunately

03:26:25Johnny:you gotta advocate for yourself argyle be your own ally

03:26:25Anzu:You need a special thing to be able to block energy.

03:26:25Argyle:our cow needs to go to therapy

03:26:26Gamemaster:Arch-Ill

03:26:28Argyle:oh my shield

03:26:29Gamemaster:Arch-Ill's not an ally

03:26:31Gamemaster:shield

03:26:33Argyle:my shield though I can

03:26:34Argyle:can I block

03:26:37Gamemaster:no yeah

03:26:39Argyle:ah

03:26:42Gamemaster:yeah

03:26:43Argyle:gotcha

03:26:43Gamemaster:I will

03:26:45Gamemaster:raise a shield

03:26:46Gamemaster:for shield block.

03:26:50Gamemaster:Do you even have shield block?

03:26:53Gamemaster:I assume you do,

03:26:53Argyle:I think I do.

03:26:54Gamemaster:but just to double check, because it's not the same

03:26:56Gamemaster:as just raise a shield.

03:27:02Gamemaster:It might have.

03:27:03Argyle:Yeah.

03:27:04Gamemaster:I just, I don't see it as one of your

03:27:06Gamemaster:reactions, so.

03:27:07Argyle:Oh, maybe when I switch from

03:27:09Argyle:to Cluster Cleric, it might not happen anymore.

03:27:13Gamemaster:Maybe.

03:27:13Gamemaster:yeah either way in this particular

03:27:14Argyle:That's fine. I'm not using it.

03:27:17Gamemaster:instance it doesn't do anything

03:27:19Gamemaster:because it would have to be physical damage

03:27:19Argyle:Yeah.

03:27:21Gamemaster:and this is force

03:27:22Gamemaster:that's the end of his turn

03:27:23Argyle:yeah yeah well

03:27:25Gamemaster:which means

03:27:28Gamemaster:he's going to take some persistent

03:27:29Gamemaster:damage

03:27:30Gamemaster:and then he's going to attempt a recovery

03:27:33Gamemaster:check

03:27:34Gamemaster:and he wildly failed the recovery check

03:27:37Gamemaster:so he will continue to take persistent force damage

03:27:39Gamemaster:oh yeah it's your turn

03:27:41Gamemaster:absolutely

03:27:42Argyle:argyle's gonna sustain this spell

03:27:45Argyle:so the

03:27:47Gamemaster:yep

03:27:48Argyle:reality around him continues to bend

03:27:51Argyle:to argyle's will

03:27:52Argyle:and he'll need to make another saving throw.

03:27:53Gamemaster:yeah

03:27:57Gamemaster:he will do that

03:27:59Gamemaster:he's

03:28:00Argyle:No, why is that Benny?

03:28:00Gamemaster:Really good at those.

03:28:02Gamemaster:Not at like rolling high, just at rolling in general.

03:28:06Gamemaster:He failed.

03:28:07Gamemaster:That was the most aggressive dice roll I've had on my screen.

03:28:11Gamemaster:33 points of damage to Benny.

03:28:20Argyle:No.

03:28:20Gamemaster:No, you can't.

03:28:21Gamemaster:It's force damage, unfortunately.

03:28:24Argyle:So that guy needs to take that.

03:28:25Gamemaster:Yes, I will give him 33.

03:28:30Argyle:Cool, cool, cool, cool.

03:28:30Gamemaster:Points of damage. I have. He's injured.

03:28:35Argyle:So then my second spell is going to be...

03:28:43Argyle:No, I can't do that.

03:28:48Argyle:I can't do this.

03:28:50Argyle:I'll just cast...

03:28:53Argyle:Is this incapacitate?

03:28:54Argyle:That is incapacitate.

03:28:55Argyle:I will cast Holy Light.

03:28:59Gamemaster:Okay.

03:29:00Argyle:Target that guy.

03:29:00Anzu:.

03:29:00Gamemaster:Who are you targeting?

03:29:03Argyle:The corrupted Harlequin.

03:29:03Gamemaster:Bored?

03:29:05Gamemaster:Which, they're all corrupted Harlequins.

03:29:05Argyle:The board.

03:29:06Argyle:The board.

03:29:07Gamemaster:Okay.

03:29:07Argyle:The board.

03:29:08Argyle:The board.

03:29:09Gamemaster:Roll an attack.

03:29:13Gamemaster:Oh, that looks like a hit to me.

03:29:15Argyle:Oh!

03:29:17Gamemaster:Because he's frightened and off guard, that hits.

03:29:23Gamemaster:30 points of damage.

03:29:27Gamemaster:God damn, he is bloody.

03:29:30Argyle:I don't like that.

03:29:30Johnny:Thank you you I didn realize I was out here playing basketball

03:29:30Gamemaster:Which of course means that his ankles break

03:29:34Gamemaster:Which means that he kind of falls forward

03:29:39Gamemaster:The upper half of his head is stuck in the wall still

03:29:42Gamemaster:And so the rest of his face like putty kind of elongates

03:29:45Gamemaster:As he stumbles forward

03:29:47Gamemaster:And purple light emanates out of the bit of the flesh that's still around

03:29:56Argyle:Oh and then I have one more action It going to be you know the Raze

03:30:00Anzu:you I burn

03:30:00Gamemaster:absolutely he gives himself a raise

03:30:06Gamemaster:Anzu, it's your turn.

03:30:06Argyle:Yeah.

03:30:09Anzu:I burn.

03:30:10Gamemaster:He takes 4 damage but continues to have his Psyche unleashed.

03:30:15Anzu:Um...

03:30:17Gamemaster:No.

03:30:18Argyle:Could I use my champion reaction

03:30:21Argyle:to protect him from himself

03:30:23Argyle:so he gets the champion resistance

03:30:25Anzu:Boy, you're hurting my brain.

03:30:25Gamemaster:He's...

03:30:25Argyle:but then is stupefied.

03:30:28Gamemaster:Yeah, I see that you've taken damage to not be stupefied.

03:30:29Argyle:You're just...

03:30:32Anzu:Let me just...

03:30:32Argyle:Yeah, just forcing it

03:30:33Anzu:Holy crap.

03:30:38Gamemaster:Have you considered not taking that damage and being stupefied?

03:30:43Argyle:anyway.

03:30:45Argyle:Making it his choice, making it my choice.

03:30:45Anzu:No!

03:30:47Anzu:No!

03:30:49Gamemaster:Oh, he's doing a sideburst.

03:30:51Gamemaster:Who is he sidebursting?

03:30:53Argyle:Bye.

03:30:54Anzu:Uh...

03:30:55Johnny:they're big resistant to mental damage

03:30:55Anzu:Wait, no, no.

03:30:55Gamemaster:Argyle?

03:30:57Anzu:They're resistant.

03:30:59Gamemaster:To mental damage, yeah.

03:31:04Anzu:Right.

03:31:05Anzu:I think if I don't mind shift it, it's different.

03:31:09Anzu:Yeah.

03:31:10Gamemaster:Yeah, it's bludgeoning.

03:31:12Gamemaster:Okay.

03:31:14Gamemaster:This furious corrupted Harlequin is making a reflex save.

03:31:18Gamemaster:That's who you have targeted.

03:31:20Gamemaster:Okay, I'm just, I'm gonna hold off.

03:31:20Anzu:I am doing it against him.

03:31:22Anzu:Give me just one second.

03:31:25Anzu:Okay, yeah, yeah.

03:31:26Gamemaster:Hands off the keyboard.

03:31:27Gamemaster:I'm gonna pet this guy instead.

03:31:29Anzu:We'll keep it reflex bludgeoning, yeah.

03:31:33Gamemaster:Uh, that doesn't apply to reflex saves.

03:31:41Gamemaster:Okay.

03:31:42Gamemaster:Uh, he rolled real bad.

03:31:47Gamemaster:He got a 23, which is a failure, I believe.

03:31:47Anzu:Hey.

03:31:51Anzu:That's pretty good.

03:31:52Gamemaster:Probably because he was off guard.

03:31:54Gamemaster:That you know isn how it works Well how many hit points do you think he has can you

03:31:55Argyle:Bye.

03:31:55Johnny:you Oh he a psychic

03:31:55Anzu:Oh I rolled low That probably not going to be enough Is it enough Josh Well 12 was wrong Let go Let be optimistic and say he got nine

03:32:08Gamemaster:see their health he's a psychic he's dead that's crazy

03:32:09Anzu:No.

03:32:18Anzu:Did he have nine points?

03:32:19Gamemaster:he had nine hit points

03:32:21Gamemaster:yeah

03:32:25Argyle:it's running like linear algebra to speed well he's bloody that means he has to be between this

03:32:25Johnny:I know.

03:32:28Gamemaster:no it's just

03:32:31Gamemaster:no

03:32:34Gamemaster:it's way simpler than that

03:32:34Argyle:and this and then now he's mortal

03:32:38Gamemaster:he's counting cards

03:32:39Gamemaster:he searched through the whole bestiary

03:32:41Gamemaster:to find what stat block I'm using

03:32:43Gamemaster:and he's just in his head

03:32:44Gamemaster:but keeping track of how much health he has

03:32:46Gamemaster:Would you like to do anything else on your turn?

03:32:55Argyle:I would love to

03:32:55Anzu:Yes.

03:33:06Anzu:I'm just trying to think about...

03:33:09Anzu:I don't think doing that makes sense.

03:33:13Anzu:That was one action.

03:33:16Gamemaster:Okay.

03:33:18Argyle:use my reaction spell to get temporary

03:33:21Argyle:hit points, but apparently

03:33:23Argyle:the optimal one is to make people stupefied so i won't

03:33:25Anzu:Alright, I'm gonna sure strike

03:33:30Anzu:and I'm going to do

03:33:31Gamemaster:

03:33:31Gamemaster:

03:33:31Gamemaster:Okay.

03:33:34Anzu:another Amped Telekinetic

03:33:36Anzu:Projectile at the board, Harlequin.

03:33:40Anzu:Oh, I missed?

03:33:46Gamemaster:ouch

03:33:47Anzu:A one and a four.

03:33:50Gamemaster:okay

03:33:51Anzu:So we got a mythic

03:33:52Anzu:point, right?

03:33:53Argyle:meh sick

03:33:54Gamemaster:oh wait when you say you got a mythic you mean use a mythic or you get a mythic Okay that makes sense Because I was going to be like I don know if you get the mythic off of the natural one when you roll with advantage and so it doesn count

03:33:54Argyle:meh sick Mythic

03:33:55Anzu:I would like to use one

03:34:09Anzu:No, no, no, no.

03:34:09Gamemaster:But you can use a mythic, that's fine.

03:34:12Anzu:I guess because it has advantage, it's not letting me.

03:34:16Gamemaster:So just roll again.

03:34:18Gamemaster:Roll again, we're going to ignore what number you roll and then you can mythic that so that you get the mythic proficiency.

03:34:19Anzu:Yeah.

03:34:24Gamemaster:Either that or we can just add eight to whatever you roll.

03:34:25Argyle:that's less fun though

03:34:25Anzu:I'm just going to add 8 circumstance to this.

03:34:27Gamemaster:It's your choice.

03:34:30Gamemaster:That's fine.

03:34:30Anzu:How does that sound?

03:34:32Gamemaster:That's acceptable.

03:34:33Gamemaster:I will allow it.

03:34:34Argyle:the stakes are higher because then you gotta be like

03:34:36Argyle:am I gonna roll better on my first one or second one

03:34:38Argyle:oh

03:34:43Anzu:Oh.

03:34:45Anzu:Oh, but it hits.

03:34:46Anzu:Ha ha.

03:34:46Gamemaster:Yeah, you rolled real low, but you stacked all those bonuses and that does hit.

03:34:47Anzu:Natural 2.

03:34:51Gamemaster:Do some damage.

03:34:52Anzu:Very well.

03:34:53Gamemaster:41!

03:34:55Anzu:Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

03:34:58Gamemaster:Okay, guess how much health he has.

03:35:05Anzu:Let's go with 36.

03:35:08Gamemaster:Uh, no, I'm sorry.

03:35:10Gamemaster:He is still alive.

03:35:10Anzu:Oh.

03:35:11Gamemaster:Uh...

03:35:11Anzu:Gosh!

03:35:12Gamemaster:But he's quite injured.

03:35:13Anzu:That was not nice.

03:35:15Argyle:wait why is there an unknown guys

03:35:18Gamemaster:I'm sorry.

03:35:19Anzu:My turn is over.

03:35:20Gamemaster:Okay.

03:35:21Gamemaster:Johnny it's your turn

03:35:24Gamemaster:oh no that's just

03:35:25Johnny:Right.

03:35:25Anzu:He's the one that died

03:35:27Argyle:why is there an unknown

03:35:28Argyle:okay

03:35:29Gamemaster:yeah that was the furious guy

03:35:30Argyle:okay

03:35:32Gamemaster:I deleted him and it did something funky

03:35:32Argyle:okay

03:35:32Argyle:okay

03:35:39Johnny:Jeez, I have so many damaging spells I can do.

03:35:43Johnny:And out of all of them, I think I will just...

03:35:45Argyle:Well, this guy's so fucking dead next turn because of the unraveling.

03:35:50Johnny:Needle darts this guy!

03:35:51Gamemaster:I mean, who doesn't like the good noodle tarts?

03:36:00Argyle:Yes.

03:36:00Johnny:He's been hit.

03:36:00Anzu:My streak is broken.

03:36:00Gamemaster:Uh, 32 hits?

03:36:03Gamemaster:Depending on how much damage you do, he might be dead right now.

03:36:05Argyle:Yes.

03:36:07Johnny:19 points of damage.

03:36:09Argyle:Oh.

03:36:12Gamemaster:Uh, I'm very sorry.

03:36:13Johnny:No.

03:36:14Gamemaster:He is still alive.

03:36:15Johnny:No.

03:36:17Gamemaster:He's very injured, and I will need Tanner to get his health again at some point.

03:36:21Gamemaster:Uh, but...

03:36:23Gamemaster:He is still standing.

03:36:24Anzu:But I was bamboozled.

03:36:25Gamemaster:That's because...

03:36:26Gamemaster:Yeah, you were bamboozled. I don't know if that counts.

03:36:28Gamemaster:He is now mortal.

03:36:30Johnny:Uh, gosh.

03:36:30Gamemaster:Um, and so you can guess within the mortal range.

03:36:38Johnny:I don't...

03:36:39Johnny:I can't cast another spell

03:36:41Johnny:because I was Flourish cast.

03:36:43Gamemaster:Mm-hmm.

03:36:44Johnny:Uh.

03:36:48Johnny:Should I shoot him with my

03:36:49Johnny:grappling gun?

03:36:51Johnny:I don't know if this will work, but I'm going to try and crit on

03:36:53Johnny:Bonemoe.

03:36:54Johnny:Bonemoe.

03:36:54Gamemaster:Oh, okay, yeah, go for it.

03:36:57Johnny:See if I crit hard enough.

03:36:57Gamemaster:Make a diplomacy check against his will, DC.

03:36:59Gamemaster:It is lowered right now.

03:37:00Argyle:what was

03:37:00Johnny:It'll do double my level.

03:37:00Anzu:How much damage does it do on a crit?

03:37:07Johnny:I'm going to use a hero point.

03:37:07Gamemaster:I'm very sorry.

03:37:09Gamemaster:33 is a regular success.

03:37:13Johnny:I'm going to use my last mythic point.

03:37:13Gamemaster:Okay.

03:37:14Johnny:I rolled so many nat ones.

03:37:15Gamemaster:Like that one?

03:37:16Johnny:It doesn't work.

03:37:16Anzu:Oh.

03:37:19Gamemaster:I noticed.

03:37:19Johnny:Oh, no.

03:37:19Anzu:Oh, no.

03:37:21Johnny:Oh, no.

03:37:22Gamemaster:I'm sorry.

03:37:23Argyle:what's the curse that you put on

03:37:23Gamemaster:I'm sorry.

03:37:23Gamemaster:spell racked.

03:37:25Argyle:Anzu that he can't get

03:37:30Argyle:Is that a spell that we could get?

03:37:30Johnny:Where does spell writer come from you That in a cold spell so when we get 6th level we can get it

03:37:32Gamemaster:Yeah.

03:37:33Argyle:What level is it?

03:37:35Gamemaster:Spell rack is a

03:37:38Gamemaster:sixth rank

03:37:39Gamemaster:arcane divine and occult spell.

03:37:42Gamemaster:Yeah because it doesn actually it from the player core It just like a regular spell it doesn come from any of the expansions It is interesting in that I would normally expect it to say cast by an ally but it doesn

03:37:42Argyle:If we could stack that with the Unravel Reality,

03:37:47Argyle:that would be so fucking mean.

03:38:00Argyle:you Because I can every turn add 5d10 5d12 and they get persistent and then they trigger

03:38:05Gamemaster:It's any spell with a duration.

03:38:19Argyle:another 2d12.

03:38:20Gamemaster:They're not affected by the spell with a duration, though.

03:38:22Gamemaster:Like, they don't have an effect on them.

03:38:24Anzu:Right, because you're kind of affecting an area,

03:38:24Argyle:I see.

03:38:25Gamemaster:I don't think this particular thing would do it.

03:38:27Gamemaster:You have to find a spell that applies an effect to them with iteration,

03:38:30Gamemaster:like Ray of Enfeeblement or something like that.

03:38:35Anzu:and then he's getting damaged by remaining in that area.

03:38:38Argyle:I see, I see.

03:38:38Gamemaster:Yeah.

03:38:39Gamemaster:But there are definitely plenty of spells that apply a persistent effect.

03:38:42Argyle:Oh no, but it gets persistent.

03:38:43Argyle:It gets persistent force damage.

03:38:45Argyle:Does that count?

03:38:46Gamemaster:Yeah, if he was taking the persistent force damage, that would count.

03:38:49Anzu:Oh, yeah.

03:38:50Gamemaster:Yeah.

03:38:50Anzu:And I have other stuff that also does persistent damage.

03:38:51Gamemaster:Yeah.

03:38:51Argyle:That...

03:38:52Gamemaster:Yeah, that's a good combo.

03:38:53Johnny:There goes Felrath.

03:38:54Argyle:Yeah.

03:38:57Gamemaster:Spell Rack is a cool spell.

03:38:59Gamemaster:It's a good, like, either anti-mage or bully a team with mages kind of spell.

03:39:01Argyle:Yeah.

03:39:04Gamemaster:Anyway, Johnny, is that the end of your turn?

03:39:09Johnny:So, I Flourish cast it, and I did Bone Mow, and because I critically failed, I Bone Mowed myself.

03:39:17Johnny:but I can just do this again

03:39:21Johnny:because if I succeed on a bone mow

03:39:22Gamemaster:Okay.

03:39:23Johnny:it gets rid of it so I'm going to have to just try it again

03:39:25Johnny:try this one more time

03:39:30Gamemaster:I will let you know before you roll,

03:39:33Gamemaster:just because it's like the end of the session anyway,

03:39:35Gamemaster:you need a 37 to crit.

03:39:38Johnny:I just need to succeed at this one

03:39:39Johnny:just to get rid of it on myself

03:39:40Johnny:okay i got i get rid of the bone on myself all right that's my turn

03:39:40Gamemaster:Oh, I know, but if you want to do damage, you need a 37.

03:39:46Gamemaster:That's a success.

03:39:50Gamemaster:Okay.

03:39:50Anzu:Yeah I feel like it probably time to go

03:39:50Gamemaster:And that brings us back to the top of the initiative order Yeah you guys could clean up at the beginning of next session I don think there much left

03:39:59Johnny:yeah Yeah

03:40:04Gamemaster:Just, you know.

03:40:06Anzu:Good thing we didn't run, I guess.

03:40:06Gamemaster:But that was...

03:40:08Gamemaster:Yeah.

03:40:10Gamemaster:Yeah, you guys seemed like you were in a weird spot for a little bit there, but apparently

03:40:15Gamemaster:the strategy of backing up into a corner so that you're beset on all sides is good.

03:40:21Johnny:It worked.

03:40:23Gamemaster:It worked out, so...

03:40:23Anzu:Indeed.

03:40:23Argyle:this was a real

03:40:25Johnny:Can't it come to us?

03:40:27Gamemaster:Yeah.

03:40:28Gamemaster:Uh, but, but, but, G, G, GGs.

03:40:32Gamemaster:G, G, no re.

03:40:32Anzu:Indeed.

03:40:35Johnny:I'm not a young couture.

03:40:36Argyle:this was

03:40:37Argyle:what is that

03:40:38Gamemaster:Yes.

03:40:40Gamemaster:Um, I can't on Monday because I'm busy repenting for my sins, past and future.

03:40:40Johnny:So I...

03:40:42Johnny:Yeah.

03:40:45Anzu:Right.

03:40:46Gamemaster:Um, so...

03:40:46Anzu:Right.

03:40:46Anzu:so then we'll just play on saturday

03:40:46Johnny:I cannot do the rest of the week

03:40:48Johnny:because I will be in Boston

03:40:49Johnny:and then in New York.

03:40:51Johnny:Nice. Excited to see you guys.

03:40:52Gamemaster:So...

03:41:06Argyle:what are you doing in Boston

03:41:07Anzu:amazing

03:41:10Johnny:The first day, I'm just going to take days in a walking tour

03:41:13Johnny:to all the places that I used to go.

03:41:15Johnny:Start in Austin, then go all the way to the north end.

03:41:16Anzu:I don't know which one of you got an extra water bottle that I ended up with this, but I've been using this for the past couple months.

03:41:18Johnny:And then we're having dinner at a fancy restaurant.

03:41:20Johnny:and the next day we're going to Apple picking.

03:41:23Gamemaster:That's fun.

03:41:23Argyle:Oh, are you going to go hang out at Spark?

03:41:28Johnny:Yeah, I'm going to take my wife to Spark and builds.

03:41:32Gamemaster:Spark!

03:41:34Argyle:Yeah, yeah, bring that.

03:41:35Argyle:you be able to see the new data science building I never seen it Yeah

03:41:36Gamemaster:You know...

03:41:46Gamemaster:Right?

03:41:46Anzu:really well.

03:41:46Johnny:That's all you need.

03:41:50Gamemaster:What more could you ask for?

03:41:50Johnny:yeah i haven been back since covid so I don know what it like

03:41:52Anzu:it was one year yeah i had a funny thing where uh

03:41:53Gamemaster:You didn go to graduation like two years after we graduated

03:42:02Gamemaster:you're ashamed was it one year

03:42:03Johnny:I did not fly across the country for graduation two years after we graduated.

03:42:13Gamemaster:yeah

03:42:17Argyle:You were already on campus, so it makes sense.

03:42:17Anzu:Well, I did a one-year master's program, and the graduation ceremony for that was first.

03:42:19Gamemaster:oh good

03:42:22Argyle:That's fun

03:42:26Gamemaster:so you got your masters and then you got your bachelors

03:42:29Anzu:Yeah.

03:42:29Gamemaster:nice

03:42:33Anzu:So.

03:42:34Anzu:So.

03:42:35Argyle:That's fun

03:42:38Johnny:It's a negative time between getting here.

03:42:41Gamemaster:between degrees

03:42:43Gamemaster:yeah

03:42:45Anzu:I did it backwards, yeah.

03:42:46Gamemaster:yeah

03:43:10Argyle:drive people there I don't mind

03:43:12Argyle:sounds good on a side note

03:43:13Anzu:I think the consensus

03:43:15Anzu:was it's easier to go to you which

03:43:16Anzu:I'm fine with.

03:43:22Argyle:We don't need to bring Noah there.

03:43:24Argyle:I don't think Noah even eats that much ice cream,

03:43:26Argyle:if ice cream at all.

03:43:27Argyle:But I did find a place in Massapequa

03:43:29Argyle:that you could get everything but the kitchen sink,

03:43:31Argyle:and they give you a literal kitchen sink.

03:43:32Anzu:Oh!

03:43:34Anzu:Yeah, there's a place here called
