I commented on the questions of saying, hey, when we're going to do this again? Here it is. I'm not a liar. I'm just slow. So we're going to go through a brief explanation of our setting. If you didn't watch the episode last time, that's fine. We'll get you all cut up. There's nothing you need to know from those because we're going to go all the way again. Then we'll get back to our players and then we'll start playing. So our setting is on the continent of Ralkine, which is sort of a wiggly dragon tooth shape. And we are in the city of Aviel, which is a holy city of Sarenrae. Epoxigo, Sarenrae and Esmodius disagreed about the virtuous nature of the mortal soul. And so they made a deal. They said, hey, if this city works out and people are still good in helping each other, that's fine. But if it falls into disrepair and apathy, Esmodius gets all the souls that ever entered it. So since that time, the city has flourished and hopefully we'll continue doing so. But that's up to some of you. The city itself looks like a wedding cake sort of stacked up against a cliff. There are six different tiers, six different districts. They are called cords like groups of string on a harp. And we'll go through them as we hit them. In the meantime, let's talk about who will be playing today, starting here. Hey, I am Owen Pritchard. I am a blacksmith in whichever tier that applies to. I don't remember where the artisan thing was. I used to know what all the different tiers were, but it's been two years. I made an honest living for a while until I found out that my father was part of a very long lineage of assassins trained by the official... Can you fix that, please? He needs to go out. What's he doing? He just played along. He just wants... Yeah, so my father was an assassin that had called the Silverback that wore this special armor and would be sent out on kill missions by the government to go take out people that were bothering them. And he got captured and I found his armor and I don't know if he's dead or alive, but now I have it. And I am attempting to find his location or more information through the criminal underworld that he was once part of. Cool. Good description. Alright, I am Pippa Rose. My alternate identity is called Aurora and I am an Asimar. And I am also in my civilian capacity, the Acolyte of Karada, which is a post that serves Surinre and guards the city. So I am kind of a bureaucrat. I have a lot of connections to that civil world, which has actually proved more useful to me, I think, than my actual superhero persona. I am very magical and sparkly and a very, like, moral good person who is really passionate about not letting all those souls fall to as modious. Oh, and I have a companion, my idolan, whose name is Rotodactylis, which means Rosie Fingers, which is a reference to the works of Homer. And it is a bird that catches on fire. It's like a pigeon the size of an eagle that burns and speaks English. We're talking like, like, like Tubby Street Pigeon or like, like Gorgeous and White. It's a mix. Oh, it's fleshy. And yet she's majestic. It's gonna work out. It's fleshy. Are Rubinesque pigeon? Have you been, like, plushy? No, like, there's no feathers. It just has no feathers. It's just Play-Doh. You know, like, before you cook a chicken? I drew a picture of it. You can see it in the concept art, which I assume will play, like, at some point. It looks amazing. The bird in the, specifically the bird. The person looks good, too. Thank you. So I am Caprice Royate, also known as Psycho-Seer. That's so good. I'm a tiefling, and I am, I was raised in a noble family. Yep, and I had very strict parents that sent me off to the military to complete my father's work, probably. In the military, I was a lieutenant. And during my time, I accidentally learned information that I was not supposed to learn from a someone above me because I don't have the best control of my powers yet. I was then banished and brought to Aviel, right? I was originally in Tarak. When I was banished to Aviel, I am adorable and spunky, and I will mind rape you. And done, Joey. Oh, no. Now we're going this way around the table. Oh, you can't follow that? No. It's already happened. Is it really me? It is really you. Oh, my God. This is what the ukulele is for. Right, right, right. I forgot that. That's all it is. Oh, you're going to turn your note. Be careful with that. Sorry, I'm so sorry. This is a nice sound. Well, once upon a time, I was Lord Chomwell of East Allentown. Now, East Allentown is not a real place, and Lord Chomwell is not a Lord. But he gave himself these titles as to hope to con people around him, and he was conning people enough, and a certain demon god got really mad at him for conning people, and so he cursed him with ferocious, hulking transformation when he gets too stressed out, too angry. And he could transform into this hulking creature, which some of you have dabbled with in the past. But more recently, something happened, and he lost his memory. Lord Chomwell currently doesn't know who he is, but he has some faint memories. You know, he sees people that look familiar. He's not really sure where he's going in this adventure. Is this just like the judge play? Sounds like a real wild little superhero. I don't even know. He's so strange. I'm not that guy. How strange would it be for Lord Chomwell not to have a real past? It's got to be so upsetting. I just wanted him to be as confused as I am. So he has an adventure. Relatable. Yeah, so currently he is in the town of Aviel. Got there. Alright. Yeah, he's just puttering around trying to figure out who he is. He's got this great hat. So he figures, you know, something with that, he was probably someone really cool, but he doesn't know. That's as far as I got. Is that good? Did I do it? Alright. Alright, my turn. See here, I am playing Lyrm Quill. He is a fetchling. He is a gunslinger that uses a crossbow. His altered ego is the Revenant. So his backstory is he's from the Shadow Plane. Him and his brother came from the Shadow Plane to the Material Plane. Settled down, got a bookstore. But then eventually his brother got kidnapped by some demons. And so now he's kind of on a quest to try and find his brother, while also making the city a better place. Will you move your microphone closer to you? There are two recorders. Oh, I'm not plugged into theirs? No. That makes sense. You can't stand by the door making some noises. That's me. I'm an excellent voice actor. You need to go out that way. Should I wait for that to occur? Let's see what's going to happen. There are rules for this. I can't even express how janky this current setup is in real life. I think it looks great. It looks amazing. That's how it looks. I'm janky. It's right here. So, should I introduce myself as my other character? I don't have a moment. Go ahead, give us a bunch. That's good for you. Go ahead and tie us a nice bow on Mac. Mac's dead and I killed him. I was stretching. Mac probably retired, all things considered. Mac was getting on in age to begin with. I guess for those of you who don't know, my old character was, I think, Mac Oakstout. I think it was his name. He was a rat folk ninja. He was already pretty old when he joined this motley crew of youngsters. I think he just wants to hang out in the brewery that he legally owns in the decent part of town. He may return, that's up to this guy over here, but he's not dead. He's fine. He's just very tired. He's dead. Wasn't there a way to get to our base through his bar or something? You will find as we go back through this, there are ways to get to your base. Open the garage. Now it'll be alright. Just close the door before you open it. Yeah, I mean, he's fine. He's around. We can go to his bar. He probably gives out too many coupons still. I think that was the one thing I remember him doing constantly. My new character, do you want to introduce my new character? Yeah, go ahead and introduce him. He's not around yet, but we will get to him and it's not that big of a, I don't have like a shocking surprise like it was y'all sisters at the time. Surprise! It's Mac 2. I've tricked you on. Mac and cheese. Nice. So my new character is a Jasper Lamera who is a drow horticulturalist. They're here to do medical work. That's pretty much it. They've always had an interest in plants pretty much growing up their whole life and they went to MAL because they heard it had a wonderful healer's program and as it turns out, it does. It's just a little bit prejudiced on not healing tieflings. So that's great. So I'm a bit of a renegade pharmacist, in a sense. Those who are less well-to-do, I go and take care of them and things like that. So I'm like a doctor that does house calls except you don't have a house. I can do alley calls too. When we were discussing this character, I didn't realize how much it made you sound like a weed dealer with great VR. I'm not delivering pallets of ibuprofen or something. I mean, I don't deal weed. I deal actual potions and healing remedies. But I probably know a guy. I'm a medicinal weed. Yes. That's all on the table. A medicinal weed. Whatever the obvialian equivalent of medicinal weed is. It's weed. Okay, it's weed. Sure. That's not the entirety of my character. When I say horticulture, I mean like magical plants. Like I can actually grow. Like weed. I'm sorry. Super weed. It's a new development. Do you want some of the magic plant? Magic plant. I'm going to have an air view tomorrow. I don't know. It does sound like weed. Alrighty. That's great. Thank you all for doing that. That's a good jog of the memory. Before we get started, so I'm going to lay out four things that happened in the last 25 hours of footage that you need to care about. And that's it. If you want to care about something else, please go ahead and bring it up. But if you don't, I won't remember. For anyone watching, don't bother going and watching the other episodes. You don't have to do it. You don't have to. Does that apply on yourself? There's some good jokes there, I think. I made at least one good joke. It may have been trying to put those up on YouTube. I don't know. So as a reminder here, or as new information, we said that the continent of Ralkine is like a dragon toothy kind of shape. I'm presuming that the image is going to be right here where my finger is tracing it. You're presuming I'm going to edit this way more than I am? No, no. It's going to be there. I know it. My force of will will make this happen. Just you wait until like, there's a section in this game with 18 different flags in it, and you're going to paste each one on each one. Oh, no. And then we're going to do the fingers on each hand. Okay. So we have this dragon tooth shaped continent. Aviel is at the top. At the bottom middleish, there is a city called Terek, which is where Caprice is from. Aviel is a city founded by and ruled by Asimar, divinely blooded creatures. They've got that whole spiritual goodwill thing going on, flourishing, and because they've been blessed by the imperial lords, like the higher up angels, they have this sort of like bounty flowing. Right in the middle of the continent, there's a spot called the Caldera, which is like a half mile wide, perfect disc that is just missing from the ground, just 100 feet straight down, sheer-sided crater. And it is a thin spot in the material plane where the abyss is starting to leak through, the chaotic evil plane, right? So Terek deals with that. Terek is basically just sort of a fortified military camp city. They have a kind of a military dictatorial rule by necessity, and they've got all this abyssal energy leaking through, which is why their tieflings just popping up all over the place. So this is where the tiefling part of your steam engine comes from, these guys out here in the fields doing the actual demon-slaying work, and I'll be like, yeah, but just keep it over there. So that's important, because of the very first and most important thing that happened. Y'all were all just regular old citizens of Aviel, just doing your regular old things, blacks within, bureaucratting, mind-raping, I can't, oh my God. It's a 6.5. Pyzo did not port over it, but you can get a couple of the Pyzo words for just linking to the spell, and they're like, okay, I guess we kind of let that happen. If you knew my spells, that's exactly what you would call it. The spells just don't say it out loud, so... Right, girl, what's your alignment? Do you see your alignment? Alignment police? I'm probably lawful neutral. And you are a goober, you know that? Chaotic good? Not chaotic good if you line up with people. I should say it on your sheet, actually. You can get to decide. It's not on your sheet, it's about how you play, so figure it out soon. It says... Also in the vigilante, neutral good or chaotic neutral. At least neutral good right now, so... Yeah, that's a good one. So we had this problem in Aviel. There is a... I can't help it. I'm judgmental. General from Tarek, who is in town, named Constantius Scrimp. They called him Scrimp because he was always sitting there with Scrimp shot looking bored, just sort of whittling away at it. And he was Caprice's uncle. And the one that she stole a bunch of information from, and he was not particularly happy to be in Aviel, he hates being in Aviel. And so everybody's kind of like, why is he in Aviel? Why is he in Aviel? There was something going on in the caldera. It was acting up. There were fishy things going on in a place that shouldn't have fish. And so he and Excelsior gathered a group of people who happened to have been really helpful that day. Owen here reinforced a structure that Excelsior bounced off of. Mac had slapped Scrimp in the face Did I? Yeah, he did actually. He just gave them a critical back pat. He deserved it. Oh, I remember! I remember that pat. I don't remember. I don't know why he let you come. You probably shouldn't have been on that boat. Did I do that? I remember the words critical back pat, but I don't know how or why. I thought I did this to do two drunk halflings, the demon general. Oh no, you didn't. Because then Satan Mr. Clean leans in with the thumbs up. Yeah, I didn't attack a general. Okay, I might even hear everyone at the old store. So anyway, All these people were helpful or at least just wanted to be helpful, so they all shipped out to go see what was up in the thinnest place in the world to hell. Sorry, it's the abyss, not actually the hells somewhere, anyway. When they got there, after a few tiny little bumps on the road, like being attacked by swarms of locusts and incorporeal shade creatures, they found out that Scrim had played them all and was trying to funnel the energy of the caldera into himself and gain ultimate power. And he was mostly doing it. He was like, gigantic and he was, I think, trying to summon a baylor and Excelsior was going at it full board, like she does, but he was just a little bit too above her level and he ends up grabbing her out of the air and snapping off her arm, completely taking her out of the game. Then you guys show up and he had to sit up with like the two lieutenants that Excelsior always had hanging around. Jax and Davy were being used to sort of power this force field that was keeping him funneling energy correctly. And so you all had to make a choice and I believe Lerum shot poor Jax, saving a ton of life by taking his and Scrim screamed something, you know, giant and bellowing and then fell through the earth into the middle of the caldera and it was never seen from again. Yeah. Wait, were we tighter? Very much not. Yeah. I don't think y'all had like a pleasant moment together ever. Unks. That's how I speak. My uncle? Go uncle. Anyone ever said unks before? I was trying to just let it slide. Every single person in the world has said it twice. I'm sorry. Everyone has thought about saying it anyway. Can you please put that in the edit? Hey, what happened to Dave? Oh, we got a bad case of the unks. What have I done? So. This is just a tub of cantaloupe over here. Yum. The only two of four events worth considering. That was the big one. Y'all were sent on a contract after being hired as the new defenders of Aviel because Excelsior couldn't do the job anymore because she was disarmed. No. She instead switched to administrative role and went with that, attacked that with just as much vigorous as it was scrim, and so she's currently set up in her little watch tower just trying to like organize the hell out of everything that's going on to make up for the fact that she can't do the fighting anymore. But that's y'all's job now. So y'all got sent to go rescue a prisoner, except that it wasn't really a prisoner. It was really a guy pretending to be a prisoner as a really long, complicated form of job interview that ended up dragging you all the way up and all the way down Aviel. And you passed. You passed the job interview. You just all hated the guy. It turns out the guy was Willick DeMancey, who is the leader of the Shepherds, which is that line of assess we're talking about. So maybe you had like a bias there. Should try and re-examine that. It was a good job. I don't remember any of this. Was I not around? You may not have been around. You weren't there. I had a job. You only missed like the one thing. I think there was the one that she missed, because I remember that was a very weird one because we had to break into a bar and I handed someone a coin and it killed them. I don't remember that at all. I think it knocked them out. That sounds mildly familiar. You dropped off halfway through the middle. That's how we started your one-shot. You get literally kidnapped in the middle of a marketplace. Do you remember the really busy bar where the guy was literally going in a circle taking money from people and then I give him a high-five. And he was like, because that's all I remember from this. I actually watched these videos. The next thing that happened is you turned the media against you and you're hated by everyone. All of us? Yes, all of you. Are you a hated bike? We were all playing Gestalt classes, which means that every single level these guys take both a class and one class in vigilante at the exact same time. They just take the higher bonuses from both and they get all the class features from both. So they all have the ability to switch between personas and a bunch of other class stuff on top of that. So, really, which one of you does the media hate? That's the question you probably figure out really, really fast. Because the last time we left off, y'all had just gotten back from like burning down the compound of the coastal coronet, which is a newspaper of questionable authority, but definitely not questionable business practices. You know, they're just bad. So, y'all are headlines. They are good. And then, were there two more events after that? Because I thought I thought that would be the last thing that happened. There was one more event after that. The one more event that happened after that was kind of at a loss and without some of the party members needed to make this work, some of you decided to go exploring under sort of like the dock area. And somebody made some choices. Specifically, Lerum Quill, that is the revenant that is Jeffrey Neely, looked at an entire ocean full of boiling, bubbling, putrid water that just smelled like a three-day-old grave and went, I'm going to jump into that. I remember that very well. I asked him, you could stop still. You haven't jumped in. You can just turn that into a roll-in and just kind of like, no, I'm going for it. So, Jeffrey, you shot a dog and then jumped into a muck puddle. I saved so many lives and I wanted to see what was under the water. What was under the water was pain. And that was pain. This is very relatable. So, since then, y'all have just been hanging around and we just called the Aegis, by the way. It's a giant 10-foot-tall statue of a knight holding a big shield in front of itself. And it is located right on the edge of the caldera. Like it's Lerum Quill ready to just jump straight in. Which edge? Like the water edge? The caldera edge is a big circle, so isn't that? I was hoping this part would be canon, but it's apparently even. Very canon. Do you have four different tiers of disease or something from jumping into the soup? God damn it! What have you got? Y'all are waiting to see if Lerum Quill will survive. You've just been kind of hanging around the clubhouse going like... Is he alright? Do we have a healer? I mean, don't. So, we are going to start off with our first role of the game. I would like you to make a constitution saving throw. Can you give me a fort save, please? Off at the muck puddle? No, he's still making fort saves. Two days later in the hospital bed. So, this is a role plus my con mod? Fortitude save. It's a fortitude save. There should just be a fort box in the middle on the left. Yep. So, the fort total? Okay. Nice. I would like everyone to take note that Jeffrey, the first die rolled for this new session of the new season is a natural one on his fortitude save. Fortitude save. Lerum Quill just bites it. Wow. You can play as Mack, anyway. You play about. So, Lerum, you're not doing so hot. Actually, you're doing hot and cold and kind of wibbly in the between. It is difficult to describe the amount of discomfort that is coursing through your every cell. It could be just one at a time, but it's not. It's all of them. They can't feel anything anymore. They amplify and bounce off of each other. Every cell is like an orchestra of different displeasants. You have Necrocutiwifilis and it sucks. So, a cell sewer is standing over the bed looking at him. I forgot she's still alive. If she loses her arm, doesn't mean you die. That depends a lot on which era of time you live in. As it happens, she teleported and landed on top of Charmell, who then very kindly raised her up 20 stories of stairs and then dumped her in a pit of fire. She wanted that. That's right, she did want that. She doesn't like the native Excelsior anymore. She says her name is Talia, but I don't think anybody's called her that yet. So, she's standing over the bed still trying to do hands on hip. She's kind of frowning and goes, she just jumped right into the trash juice. And so, y'all... Am I there? All assembled, she turns back and says, I think we need to do something about it. I think it's probably time to go take this to somebody who knows and I think I have a few... She pulls out a Rolodex, like full of doctors and then at that moment the door bursts open and in zips, Davy, who is a Loracian, she's about this big, very, very disorganized, and right now it looks like that's exactly what she needs. She just comes in yelling, they're here! They saw the headlines, they're here, right here at our clubhouse, they aren't supposed to get here, but they're trying to attack us right now. So, like, why? What did y'all guys do? How'd you do this? Who? What? They're the people of the town! They're the only thing... You don't have to deal with the government, you're the bad guy, you just got to make sure they don't hate you! And they do! So now we've got a right. Is there a way out? Excelsior's already on it, like, well, that just accelerates our plans, that's fine, but the good news is, that means there won't be anybody in town, so the traffic should be light, she just throws up in a broom closet and says, everybody in there right now! And she just, with her one arm, hoists Lerum Quill up and hands him to where would you like your armor to be? Ideally, on me. You're a man who enjoys the severe process of sitting in metal. It makes you feel... At this exact moment, it would be the best... It builds character, more like it prevents you from having to build another character, so we're good. You're in endurance test, you are in the armor and now you have Lerum Quill on top of you, which is wasted like half of his body mass. Please somebody kill me! Please somebody kill me! I would love to, but right now, we're going to head through that door. You're not quite at talking level. You can open your mouth and sounds come out, but they aren't... Like he said, save his life! Can I figure out what to do about the mob? Y'all are specifically not training in the other mob, they're here at the tower and y'all will be zipping back to Abiyel. It's about a day's journey away. Queen, could you address the mob? I kind of want to do some PR, guys. What do you think? I think she's the right one. I don't want to be left. Excelsior takes it, no, you do not want to do this. This is not the time. Afterwards, after we've dealt with them, then you address the mob. How are you going to deal with it? It's not my talking to them. And you are through the secret hatch. Rude. And the room causes secret hatch to you today. Is it like a magic portal? I had an elaborate description I used for it every single time last time, but I didn't bother watching to figure out what it was. We went to the back door of a random dirt pub at one point, and they were like, what are you guys doing to my closet? They're just like rolling around town from the game. Rolling out of the closet of the bright sphere inn, which is in the churchyard, which is the lowest and most outermost district of Ababiel. It used to be the first cathedral district of the city, and this time after... What, you're in the bright sphere inn? In the churchyard. All the churches moved up the hill, were as nice and sunny and beacony, and that left all these cheap buildings, so a bunch of bars and inns bought them up, and now every church down here is a party. Cool lie. And as it happens, y'all are in the party, but now it's deserted. There's nobody here. They're all up at the... They're all writing. Right before you left Excelsior mentioned, I know exactly where you need to go. You just have to follow these three flags. You ready? Mango, peach, wildflower, and go to the Ratsboro. You're good. It's the best doctor you'll ever meet. And so now y'all are just kind of tumbled on the floor where it's already in. We're just... We're in a church. We went through a secret passage in a church, and now we're in an inn. You went through a magic portal into an inn that used to be a church in the churchyard, which used to be old churches. Wait, so we're not in the inn. We're in an inn. You tumbled out of a closet into an inn. Who's on first? Huh? Okay. What is a wildflower flag? I don't know. It's like a purple, right? Mangoes. What do we do about this sack of potatoes right here? Maybe True Love's kiss. Why did you have to give us instructions? I'll give it a shot. Can I, like, roll to figure out what she was talking about? Sure. You got knowledge local? I do have knowledge local. What did she tell us to do again? What did she tell us to do again? She told us to follow flags. Follow three flags. If I look back and I see that you just threw the closet, or is it just a closet now? Wait, so I'm not here right now. You're not here right now. Not even Ratman is here. I have a job for you in one second. Thanks. You are here. Yes. You're not the man you used to be, but the man you used to be never existed. You're just, you're... You don't have to wear anything if you don't want. Is that better? How do we explain how did I lose my mind? Just hit your head. You put the hat up on the dresser and it looked all nice. So as if this wasn't enough, we fall through the closet and I sit up and I go, who am I? Who are you guys? That's clever. Did you make this your role? Who are you people? What's your role as this guy? You guys are so close. Also real quick, we know you are hood up at the moment in your armor. What is the status of the rest of y'all? Y'all, nobody's going to recognize if you guys anything. I don't know who I am, I don't know who these people are. I know this is my husband though. She told me. Don't start. Don't start using your powers. You don't have to mess with people. They clearly love each other. Are you okay? Who am I okay? Who am I? I put him down. Have you noticed there's something wrong with your husband? We should be taking some action to heal him in some way. Yes, let's fix my husband. He's a very charismatic, eccentric, outgoing type. Too bad he's sick. But once he's healed, I'm sure he'll be back. He seems like you guys already jumped ahead to bothering this guy. Did we just skip the part where he seemed to have gotten a concussion or something? He's joking. Who's a joke? I'm joking. No, you're not a joke. I'm not a joke. What is wrong with you people? I think he slammed his head in my armor on the way out. Has your armor ever done anyone any favors? It doesn't be a lie. Just slowly coming out of the top of my head. The cartoon ball. The cartoon ball. Okay, what's the last thing you remember? Last thing you remember. Anything? Nothing. Great. But that's because you told me. Okay, so you don't remember? You just believe me. Who do you think you are? Oh wait, hit him in the head again. Alright. Oh, maybe he'll jog it back. I'm gonna hit him in the head. Would you like to roll for it? Just as a reminder, didn't you elbow someone to death once? I'm gonna hit him in the head lightly. Didn't you also try to fall on someone lightly once and kill them? 19. No. Fishes don't have 19 crit multiplier, do they? Because that'd be great. I'm pretty sure. I don't know what your AC is. I think this counts as 5 footed. Yeah, 14. If you wanted to make that non-lethal, by taking the minus 4. As a reminder from last time, I don't think I do remember all of my attacks would be non-lethal unless I say otherwise. Gotcha, so I'll just affect the minus 4. Well, you're just fine, yeah. So you hit me in the head. My fists are actually 1d6. And I just like giggle and then fall over. Great. In the meantime, Aurora, you have remembered that there are a bunch of flags hanging around a little windy set of alleys. It's not really even a neighborhood. It is a set of formalized lean twos. Anything could be called Ratsboro. It's definitely that. It's just up against the wooden gate, the outer wall of Abial, not too far from where you are. Okay. Now you've injured both of them. It's even more important now to go find a healer. He was already injured. I've remembered that there are a bunch of little shacks on the side of a wall. You explained. And we need to take them there in order to get them a proper treatment. Is that what we're looking for? A healer? Yes. He's dying. What do you think he needs right now? He needs a snack? You think he needs a glass of wine? I think we could all use it on someone. I'm sorry. I'm a little stressed right now. You were starting to hear voices in your head. Just like a low buzzing. It's kind of like almost like a hymn, but like a hymn that's just like you're not going to make it. You pick him up. I'll get them both. Just lead us where we need to go. I'm going to pick up both of them and just have one over each shoulder. Nice. I don't wake. I'm just chilling. I'm going to look around the end for things to loot. Okay. There is so much to loot. What's your preference? You want to loot? I don't know. I've never looted before. I just remembered someone told me to do that once. I feel so loved right now. How much money do they have? Roll a perception check for me. One dollar. How much money do we have? It's like you got more than this place does probably. I think they are sitting around 500 gold each somewhere. Okay, that's not bad. I actually specifically want to check for potion? Health potion? Health potion. Yeah, okay. What's your role? Can I do it again? That was looking for money. Jeffrey, your dice. Talk. Get in a wing. I'm going to tell you this. You find one. Great. I'll take it. Are there more? Great. Here, I found a health potion. How? Not sponsored. I don't recommend drinking that. Where was the... This place had a health potion? It looks like a health potion. I looked vaguely. It's like bread. How much of a reason do I have to trust her assessment of the health potion? Can I pick it up and look and see if it's health potion? You want to pick? Spellcraft. You got spellcraft, right? Yes, I do. Did you dice away from me? Disgusting monster. I rolled a 13 with a plus 5. Okay, so it's some... I think it used to be cheese. And then it fermented into a cheese alcohol. Then it solidified. Broke down again and it sounded like double cheese ale. That's not a health potion. Let's be kind of flowery about it. It is perhaps the grossest thing you have ever touched. Yeah, that's a health potion. I smell it and then throw it against the wall. That would have done damage. I would have let that be nice if I had it. And that would have killed him. Why did you have the sense to ask me to smell it? That's all I can say about that. That's true. This is how I got to the top. Point in which direction to carry these two. Because I feel like I'm dying. I do need to lead. Okay, I go in front and I start rushing. Has anyone thought that he deserves this? It almost works. You could swear for just a second. Just one tiny second and you hear it's like a... And then it's gone. I'm leaving. I want to leave now. You can go leave. Alright, y'all leave. I'm leaving. There are so many things to loot though and I only got a health potion. There is a man standing outside, packing up pipe. He's gotten an apron on so he's probably the endkeeper. You don't know. And he goes, That was like three days of work putting that door up. He was trying to hang in the door. You're them. Hey, no, no, no. Y'all get out. We're leaving. Stop talking to us. No, you stop talking to me. Can I just walk? That's what I meant. That's what I do. Anyone else want to fight me? I don't have time to reach out and shake his hand. He is not taking it. It's not just he's not taking it. He is not doing it. He's actively not doing that. Yeah, we'll slide over your shoulder. What does hypnotic stare do? Stare is something hypnotically. I believe it makes the target of your stare have a minus two to their well-saved. Yeah, that's what activates you. You get to add a bunch of other powers on top of that and stuff. Okay, so it doesn't do anything inherently? Oh, that's my when I do things. I think it debuffs them by default and then you also can stare at things on top of it. Let's talk about how lowering consent is also removing consent stare. Yes, thank you. Got it. Okay, never mind. As you walk through the streets, you see there are still some stragglers. Maybe doing some recreational price-free shopping at the various institutions that have been abandoned, and two or one, they all stop and stare minimum. And then there's one guy. One guy is like slightly smaller friend, kind of like bragged up. You don't know if they're always this kind of this way or maybe they're just like really feeling today like y'all, what's wrong with this country? You know that? Everything is wrong. Y'all just need to leave. And then what bad is left? We're trying to leave. Stop talking to us. Fair. And he walks away. Have we found a flag yet? We're heading towards flags. You do feel a rock bounce off the back of your head. I make an obscene gesture. Which one? Which one? Wow. That's gonna get you a chance to re-election. That's gonna get you a chance to re-election. Someone contain this woman. She's out of control. Heck you guys. All right. Did we find the first one? You do in fact find Ratsboro, which as an inch is started kind of more like a ditch in the side by the wall. They just kind of built up some lean twos and they just built some lean twos on top of those lean twos. And there wasn't really much going for it besides being made of broken crates. So you find that there are just flags everywhere. Everyone's got a flag hanging off of their door. Some people have got two off these little pins. It is a beautiful, brightly colored lovely little area. And what do you do? Sorry, this is an inn? This is a row. It's like a neighborhood street. But it's really a ditch. Is this where the mango flag is? Supposedly. Okay, so we're looking for the flag? You can. I'm gonna look for the flag. What was it, peach mango? Mango peach wildflower. I also would like to look for the flag. Roll perception for me. Can I roll for a vomit? Yeah, I gotta roll for that one. I vomit. Have we got perfection and effectilology? Honestly, I think you should just sit in it. I'm gonna make you polish my armor when I'm done. I don't know what you're saying right now. I don't want to keep an eye out for any other... You just see a horrible hot train. Does it work? I have a 16 perception. Okay. Yeah, 17, it worked. And I rolled a 15 plus 7. Okay. So y'all spend a good minute just kind of taking it all in. I mean, it's hard to find any one color in that crowd with like 80, right? And you kind of sort of like, you just do the Where's Waldo scan. You do not see a single mango flag anywhere. Can I specifically look out just for any threats? Not so much of the flags. I'm leaving that to them. I just want to see if there's anybody that seems like they want to do us harm in the general area. Sure. What you do find is if you want to be moving forward, like if you have to go down a path, it's mostly like a cul-de-sac and there's one sort of area you got to go and each possible little avenue and no-car-cran you could take has a flag next to it. They aren't mango flags. What color are they? Great question. Let me show you. Nope. Pink shirt. Pink shirt. I'll let you down. I'm not going to like this or anything. All right. I just started looking in windows and like... It's a confused boy. I have a slight question while you're sending it this text again. Does this imply that I healed Talia from her gaping arm wound? Or was that the fountain? That was definitely the fountain. But I think you were probably responsible for the lack of scars somewhere because you did good work. Cool. Your pen has some type of magnetic in it. It sticks to my magnet on my keyboard. Oh yeah, that's the metal. It doesn't work with all metal. Well, probably not on the keyboard is probably the magnet. It is. The pen has probably iron in it. I was saying the pen was magnetic and I was like... Well, the pen has something. Lerum. The pen has metal. I also have a bunch of metal on me. Aluminum. How do you mean aluminum? Aluminum's not... Lerum, I'm going to make your day a little bit worse. You have not been unconscious this whole time. In fact, you've been unconscious since you've grumped in the trash juice. You have been very awake. And you've been reliving the same sort of awful dream where you're just wandering around in a maze. So this is like one of those video game like... The wall around you is absolutely pure sparkling white. You can almost not even see where to turn it. It's like Max Payne. But it doesn't matter because for the last three days you've done nothing but feel every cell in your body vibrate backwards and walk through this maze. And just right now in this exact moment you are for the first time feeling something a little bit different which is hearing somebody say the name Lerum. Just enough for you to kind of recognize it. I do not like this. It is your brother. Hey, does anybody else hear this song? Hmm, interesting. And suddenly you kind of get this vague possible little idea of an image in your head. But it's coming from really far away. It's coming through like several different layers and it can't quite get out in words. So here's what I'm going to tell you what we're going to do. Ethan I'm going to send you a picture. I would like you to write down exactly one word that describes that picture and hand it to Jeffrey. Jeffrey, you can use one word to describe it to them but not the same word. Oh, to us? Describe the word. I would say in a picture he is going to take that picture put it in one word and you're going to use a different word to describe it to them. I will do my best. So I also see the picture? No. You can kind of vaguely feel the picture in your head but it's like three layers of smoke. I see. So I describe his word with my word. I'm the three layers of smoke. Hey buddy, it's me, a patron three layers of smoke. How you doing? Listen, I got a message from the higher ups. I got a word. It's coming in. It's slow. It's going through all the trash juice that's built up in your system. Oh my gosh. You ever heard of wheatgrass? Why wasn't this your character? What? Why wasn't this your character? Three layers of trash smoke? It's me, three layers of trash smoke Johnson. Oh my gosh. Okay. So only one word? Only one word. You can get one crossing one word to Lyram. Lyram, what is it boy? It's a shame because What are you feeling? Well, I can't describe it. It's kind of a shame. Where does it hurt, Lyram? Can you hear me? Don't go to the light, Lyram. For looking for danger just in case that comes up. So danger isn't what you're saying? I'm seeing a lot of posturing. Every five minutes or so, there's some new guy who's like, show what's up. Every time I see one, I do a little like. Oh, they all fall. You're on like three concussions at this point. You're notching your arm or like, got another. Lyram. Lyram. What is it? What's wrong? Can you read that? Why are you talking to him? He's unconscious. I can tell. He's trying. It's there. There's a really between the arm. Mind things. Can you like tell? Spiral. What? Told you. Spiral. He wants a churro. What's a churro? It's another churro card right over here. Shake him all of it. You want to give us a little more than that? Don't shake it. No, I don't want a churro anymore. Spiral. Spiral. Can I roll to see if that means anything? There are some of the flags around here that have spirals on them. Oh, they do? How did I not notice? I got the flags. Me too. Send it in a group text. Okay. Go grab a flag and wrap him in it or something. See if it works. Let's go to that. I want to walk to the thing with the spiral flag. Lyram, is that what you're seeing? You walk down the path to the spiral flag and beyond it, you see it's just a tiny little, almost just a path through the weeds. This really does not meet code in so many ways. I just want to stress, Aviel expects better than this inside the walls, just if you're a tourist anyway. But this does wrap around behind the house and you see the path kind of jags on a little bit further and there's another kind of lane with a bunch more flags in it. Is this the spiral? Amma. Can I do a perception check to see if I see anything wildflower themed while I walk along the path? Absolutely. Mango peach wildflower themed? Is it all spiral flags down the second path? Totally different flags. None of these are like the flags you saw before. They were a completely separate and second set of flags. It's the same as a mango here or something. I don't get out much. Mangoes have a pit, so do peaches. Wildflowers can grow in a pit. There's a pit at the bottom of a spiral. No, that's not right. You've got this. I'm very smart. Okay, let's see. I'm very smart. I rolled an eight and I have plus seven. Alright, so do you know what's the wildflower theme? It's wildflowers. They're real nice. None of them are on flags. Are any of them orange? One of them is orange. Can I pick it? Would you do that? No, probably not. It's covered in flowers. Is that what you're looking at? Swing your head over that way. Yup. It's vomiting as it stores the flags. It's like briefly, it almost focuses on a few more flags. No one described to me the back of my armor, please. I don't want to know. How do you feel about a chunk-like tuna? It's a dick right in front of the armor, too. Can you talk? So we're in a neighborhood. These are all residential homes? Yeah, they are residential homes. Each one of these flags is really close to another alley you can go down. Well, three of the flags are in your alley, so you can go down. So nobody's paying attention to me. Let's go down the spiral flag alley. You've already done that. You're done going past the spiral flag. Okay. Spiral flag is in the past. What's there? Just wildflowers? These are the other flags that are next to options you could walk down. Got it. So I was thinking like, you know, nobody's paying attention to me and I get kind of thirsty and I have a bunch like, I found a bag on me with all these potions so I just pulled one out and took a sweep. So it could be my potion of invisibility or... How many potions do you have? I have five plus other. Five plus other? Okay. What's the other? I don't know. Grape? It's always grape. Once again, I'm a... So I just drink a potion of invisibility. Barbecue? That is the worst potion. The sixth potion on your list. I don't even know what it does. It's grape. It's grape. So I'm just very hydrated. Once again, you hear Alan just kind of, just softly kind of call across and you know it's him and he just kind of sounds a little bit annoyed. And you kind of like feel like you understand the smell of the shape of a picture. You will be able to communicate in one word that is not the word you're about to receive. Okay. Alright, so which one of these flags looks like a... Did you just turn invisible? What is it? What's a peach? No, she's grape. Yeah. What was the first one? Manger. Manger. Manger on a peach. It's one of these flags. Maybe the... It kind of looks like red and blue one. They keep scurrying. I'm just walking around drinking grape, saying mango, peach, wildflower. My handwriting is much more... Can I use my knowledge to interpret the heraldry? You got eligibility? No. I do. I'll give it a shot. The problem is there's not really another word. There isn't. Yeah, yeah. I will do whatever she just said. I can't think of them. You're just trying to assess the flag. See are they like someone has a primary name. That is... A non-natural flag. Exactly. Alright. So, kind of funny actually. All the flags in this land are taken from a conquered country like from a war like 20 years ago. The last three you sent us? Well, all the flags in this particular land. Okay. And there's no reason for that, except they probably got them real cheap because nobody wants old flags. That's your expert analysis. Wow. That's weird. All these flags are from a conquered countries. That's all. I don't know why they're here. Do you recognize the countries as like the peach, that national fruit or one of these things or something? Knowledge, social studies. Can I roll that? Knowledge, social studies. Always. I'm not really sure what that's for. If not... It's in combined history and a couple other things into social studies. History and geography became another social studies. Okay. Knowledge, geography was a thing. That's such a... 19. Yeah, 19. Strange knowledge. Lines. Lines. Thanks. He can see the flags. He can see the flags. The top one with the weird lily pad things has... Lines. He can see the... We need to go down that alley. I said we need to go down that alley. I said we need to go down that alley. That's the most appropriate one. It also sort of looks like peaches. But is it a spiral? Okay. I know that this is bad advice. A little behind buddy just in general. This is bad advice, but we should listen to the... The dying man? The dying man. Look, he's only saying one word somehow. It's very cryptic and mysterious. Let's just... Yeah, why are we following with this guy? He could just be... Do you have any other ideas? Give me one of those. I'm trying to bomb him, but I'm not. He's just driving me. He's trying to get a more clear idea of what he's thinking. I'm serious. I'm going to read his mind. I'm going to read his mind. Oh, that's pretty... That's better. Let's watch all of these in order. Okay. The social studies role... How old? 19. 19. 19. You agree with her analysis? These are all... It's kind of a famous thing. It was a really confusing war because both sides had the same color of flags going. And their armor was... It was just kind of like a... Artistically, it was a mess. So, there's a lot of artistic license taken in the paintings because you have to have like a blue orange side and an orange side for that cool video game look. Anyways, but once you... There's actually much all the flags together. You can see like, were they two... All that different after all these two countries? What were they fighting over? That was your essay. So, you don't know what their fruit is or anything? No. I apparently don't. Fair enough. What the country fruit is? Yeah. What's this country's fruit? I don't know. Okay. Well, don't ask, don't question it. Why? It's the Avail Mega... What's that thing? What's that thing? God from the sky. It's from the Greek hair. It's called the sun. No, hold on. What is the... Oh my goodness, my brain is not working. Olive. It's the super olive. It's from Greek. It's from Greek. Are you still trying to read Lyrum's mind? I am. Um, so... But back when he was seeing things. If you like, you can make a will save against that. No, he can't. He sure can. He cannot. I'm not saying it's like... There's some penalties involved. But I'm going to say since I don't know what's going on or anything, I probably would. Alright, roll it. Okay. I'm going to roll a one. This is great. That's a good thing. Wait a while. I'm going to resist your... Okay. How dare you? He can't do anything. That's going to be a... 13. Alright. You're currently... Your circumstance modifier is a minus 20. So... There you go. Great. So basically, you could have rolled a seven. So, but it's negative seven. So, tell me, Liram, today on your third day of pacing through this white maze and realizing that there are more than three directions axes that a cell can vibrate and they can also get seasick on a molecular level, what are you thinking right now? Um... That this really sucks? I think that's fair. I appreciate your honesty. And that's what you hear. That's just really sucks. But I just want to point out, you really feel it for a second. Not the illness, just like... It's just his emotion. It's pretty... It's pretty sad. It's not a good thing to feel. That's fine. Okay. He's upset. He happened to elaborate it all in the long end. No, no. Alright. Whatever he does seem to... Whatever seems to be impacting him, he does not care about it all. So, he's... Is he on the ground? Great. He's still being carried. I guess we'll keep caring about it for him. Let's go down the path with the peach-looking flag, with the lines. I just, for a moment, should we consider if this is worth it? Oh, are we doing that now? I thought we had already made that decision a while ago. That's why I'm letting this guy vomit down my back. Okay. Well, since you think he's worth it. I do not. Well, let's get the vomiting to stop and try our best. Just me and stop. Nothing's coming up anymore. You're wrong. Wait, there's more. Bonus room. If we happen next to me the hard way. Oh, no. Where did it come from, though? Well, despite the fact that he doesn't care, he's saying at least one word every five minutes. Maybe we should just head that direction and see what happens. I am still caring if it's worth it. Alright, let's go down the line-flag path. I'm just being really entertained watching these people just following them around. You are not priority number one. You keep drinking your grape juice. We'll get back to you in a minute. He gave himself grape juice. Can someone make sure you don't have to talk about that then? It was a grape potion. Let's not undersell it. Oh, shit. He turned it to a grape. It was the spell grape. It makes things taste like grape, especially the potions. Wow. So now I'm just licking my hand and then I follow it. There's no worse spell. See how delicious my drink is. This sounds amazing. I cast grape. So as y'all go along, we've got this path. You find, once again, you wouldn't really expect it to be like another set of lean-to ramshackle apartments. And it's not really so much. It's just kind of like a cul-de-sac at the end. But that's not really a street. It's more like just kind of a loose line of houses. Each one of these houses has another flag on it. And they call it kind of like the terrain sort of that would spit you out going the other directions depending on which house you walked past. The what? Which house you walked past, puts you on your trail. Gotcha. What are the flags? Are you sending them? I am. Good. More flags. Love this. How you doing over there? Oh, great. Just found this loot in my ukulele I found in my bag. Yeah. I thought I could try playing a song. Yeah, you love that thing. You don't remember that at all? No, we haven't had that before. Is it yours? Or is it mine? It's yours. I guess since we're all taking a breather. All right. So I start playing, but I don't know anything. You remember that? You remember how to play that still? No. But I somehow managed to play one of my many possible songs. And we're going to roll and see which song I play. All right. Some freestyling. An easier rock. You're going to play that? Nope, dude. It's just like nice subtle, possibly highly energizing background music comes on. You feel just one last kind of tug. It's sort of like the sound of a smell wafting through the ice face that was a picture. There. And go again. I played distraction, by the way. I'm now playing a very distracting song. That's great. That's great. But no, that's part of your repertoire day. You can stop now. Is everybody CV playing the song? Yeah, we all see it here. It's very impressive. I feel very distracted. I'm going to write this again in actual English. Instead of scrambling. Distract. Is that like a happy feeling? Okay. Wait, he's going to say something again. I can see it. I can sense it. Are you going to say something again? Or are you going to barf? But I go and play in front of him. I don't like those songs. I'm going to sit him back. I'm going to sit him down. That's fine. Sit him down. I don't know why you've been dragging him honestly. Oh my God. What is it? Do you need to say the word again? I'm sorry. No, I know. I know what it is. I just can't think of anything that also means that. I hope that's one word. It is. That is one word. Okay, thank you. It's a good thing that the overbearing, like, on top of it all, God of this universe doesn't have to be like really into grammar and wouldn't know immediately the two word word. It's one word. These flags are all very similar and very Japanese for some reason. It's the red and the dot. That's the X flag. And the white. Yes, the X flag. Hey. You got something for us? I can tell. I can tell. He got us this one. What's the last thing? It's a flat one, right? Okay, here we go. Here we go. Like the other two. Nope. I thought I had it. Remotely close to their words. Laramura, only hope. Legitimately, we have no idea what to do. Can I egg him in the right direction? No. No. I'm just... Okay. Is it okay? No. Okay. No, he can think of a word. No, that's two words. See, I can't do that. What if I, as a magical boon granted by the God above, give you a hyphen? A hyphen. This is your really gathering the utmost of your strength here. That's what you need all this time for a half circle? Look, a half circle. Moon. All right, well there's only one with a circle that's split in half. Let's go to that one. So, yeah, all right, let's try that one out. Okay, I'll go that way. Do you ever wonder what brought you to this moment in life where you're following a vomiting, sick, completely out of it person? You know, I've been wondering that all day. I want to say, please take me... I used to be a lieutenant. It sounds just as confused as I did. We all have a natural spirit of charity that lends us to kind acts. Speak for yourself. No, you do. My spirit of charity may be more prominent than yours. However, it's in there. Thanks. It's in there. Yeah. I feel that dying. I disagree. Anyway, down the half circle. I say as I pick him up and still keep walking around. So you go down the half circle flang and there's some plants back there. Someone you want to check around just to look for something. Yes. Where's the weed doctor? Yeah, you look at the plants. He doesn't exist yet. Right. Okay. It's just an alley with plants in it. It's kind of like a cul-de-sac ended in a gravel road and behind that there were some houses in behind the houses. There was just like green belt, just undeveloped area. The lack of houses. Is this a specific skill check? If you have one that you'd like to roll, you can always roll Perception. If you've got knowledge of nature, that's just nature around here. I'll see if I see something. I'll roll an eight. It is just a lot of weird kind of plants. Well, that's not true. It's a lot of normal kind of plants. They're just basically the same plants you've seen everywhere. Except that one over in the corner which is like off-season and yellow and kind of looks sort of tasty. It probably doesn't belong here. But other than that, it's just as much plants. Are you tired of cramming your precious dice into those little tiny rectangle plastic containers or into bags like a freaking peasant? Well head on over to DiceDungeons.com and you can pick yourself up a finely crafted wooden dice case among many other D&D accessories.

So yeah, go check those out. Back to the superheroes. Alright, well this is what we get for following the directions of a dying man. No. I want to go look at the flower. You have to save my husband. I'll do my best. I'll go look at the flower. I just wanted to know more about it. Yeah, I want to go examine it. You said it looks tasty. It does look tasty. And it looks different than the other flowers. You get close and you see it's got like, I mean, obviously a pretty temperate place but it's not been the super wet of season but this is a very well formed stalk. Nothing too draglier or rotten about it. And the leaves are still wet. Which is interesting because it hasn't rained today. It looks kind of like somebody's watered it. John, I'll eat that ziotes. Okay. No, no, no. I'll grab it away from him. You kind of grab it away and pull back. And as you pull it back, you see back behind it, there is an impromptu lamp set up. I walk in. It's kind of like a moonshine station. Do I have the flower? Did I get the flower? Sorry. Yeah, you got the flower. Is this flower mango colored? Mangoes are a lot of colors. One of them is green. It depends. Well, the inside of a mango is one color. Oh, yeah, that's true. I guess. No, it is not that color. Okay. So, you just go in or just look in? I just walked in. You just walked in? I just walked in. It doesn't remind me the name of the person who gave us terrible clues to get to where we need to go. Davey, right? I don't know. Pretty sure it was Davey. Yeah. Thanks, Davey. It may have been Excelsior, but you've been throwing us all blind, Davey. Currently, I would honestly be relaxing with a nice book and maybe a cup of something hot to drink. And what would it do to your state of calling relaxation if a guy who looked sort of like Joey would just waltz in the other room? Just waltz in? Kind of half strumming a ukulele. Oh. Distractingly. Yeah. Can I just say hello? Hello. How can I help you today? I don't know. I don't know who I am. Oh, Amnesia. I think I have a cure for that. It'll take me about five minutes, maybe longer. Oh. But it's still very much in the works. You're so much more helpful than these guys. Are you talking to someone? Why did you go in first? Do you have friends out there? Yeah. Did they also need help? I don't know if they're friends. I'm going to run in. I don't know them. Yeah, I burst in. My husband knows he's out there, and he needs help. You suddenly see the most colorful woman the world has ever produced. Just absolutely streaming with light where your bushes used to be. It's as if somebody had removed an entire wall of your tree wall and replaced it with a stained glass window. Wait, what happened? Rachel is standing in your doorway. Oh, let's see. I want to talk to him. Aurora is standing in your doorway. Please, kind sir, we need your help. Okay. I have a friend who's very sick. He really needs a pharmacist. Me? Oh, you mean this one behind her? And we just flopping on the ground? Yes. He was swimming in somewhere he should not have. When did he go swimming? A sewer or something. A sewer or something. I'm not sure. When did you go swimming, young man? Oh, okay. He doesn't. Give me like five minutes. Help yourself. There's still a pot on the stove. Don't touch anything because it might touch you back. I'll start ambling off to... I'm going to go get whatever's on the stove. A lesser restoration? I'm going to put my hands in my pockets. Aurora, do you have craft herbalism? Did you entertain that one? I have craft alchemy and I also have profession healer. You can roll any of those. Cool. I'm probably going to do... I'll do alchemy. I have a little bit better to do that. So that's just a d20 plus my alchemy skill. Okay. Nat 20 plus 12. Whoa. Thank you. Wow. I don't promise anything. Because I never promise anything. But if he jumped into what I think he jumped into, I might be able to help him. What am I looking at? I guess how embarrassing. I never introduced myself. I'm Jasper, a healer of sorts. I look like a drow. I have short white hair. What's a drow? A drow is a dark elf. An elf, kind of charcoal skin, white hair. I have amber-y eyes with no pupils. I'm wearing a halfway between a gardener's and a doctor's outfit, where it's like the gardener's overalls, but with an apron that has a little bit of blood, a little bit of plant juice on it. I believe you described a butcher. A doctor and a butcher are just two levels of precision away from each other. I come back from the kitchen with three cups of whatever was on the stove for us. Oh, yes, herbal tea. Careful, it's still very hot. Thanks. I know she didn't give me any. Oh, thank you. No, I didn't get you anything. But yeah, I'm like six foot tall. I'm very, very skinny, because drows are very skinny, apparently. Frighteningly so. I weigh 90 pounds. Oh, my God. That's not a good thing. At six feet tall? Yes. Wow. Do you blow in the wind? That's why I live in between these trees. Yeah, makes sense. Don't go outside on a windy day. So how does this boy look after this? He's down. He's down for a minute or so. Later, I might have good news, and I have not great news. The good news is that awful seasick feeling, like you just, you would die, but you feel like dying would hurt worse, because it wouldn't let it go all the way, and you'd just be like, just like rattling around, and like one nut in the bottom of a can. That's gone. Oh, hey, nice. You are still in the maze, though. Fantastic. I kneel down with him. Can you hear us? Rub his head. My husband. You can hear that. Can you hear us? He shakes his head, bro. You can hear that. I can hear it. There's something, he's definitely, a change has come over him. He's definitely like, he doesn't look sick. Like, his flesh looks like it would hold, like it wouldn't just like fall with gravity if you tilted him. He's, he just looks trapped. It looks different. How can you do the mind reading thing again? Let me just do something really fast. I would like to slap him. Yeah, yeah. Well, I could have done that. Not with your metal hands. Roll for it. Roll for it. You could just... 9. Like this. Oh, did I miss? Plus your melee attack modifier. Which I think is 2. 11. I'm going to call this flat-footed. I think that's fair. 14. Wow. Yeah. It just bounces off of his thick skull. That's what happens. Okay, yeah, I'll read his mind. I am curious, is there anything you can tell me about what caused this young man to be in the situation that he's in? As far as I know, he just jumped into a polluted lake and then he came out like that. Well, I mean... If somebody else there, I don't know if there's any other details. I'm sorry, I'm a doctor of the flesh. I know nothing of possible medical disorders if this is what is going on. I'm sorry, what are you saying? I'm not. I'm Jasper. Jasper. Okay. This is... Silverback. Silverback. He's like the grumpy uncle. And then we have Sparkle Princess over here. Her name is... Uncle. What? Aurora. Is that a superhero name? Aurora. I'm Caprice. This is Lerum. I'm really excited now to learn who I am. Why are you so clear you're going to burn up? This is... Why am I the only one that doesn't get a superhero name? So is everyone in the superhero ghetto? Seems like it. Okay. This is... The Revenant? The Revenant. And then over here we have... Oh, I don't even... Lord Johnwell. The East Allentown. Yep. Is it a nice place? East Allentown? You said it was great. I've never heard of it personally. Do you have any friends with Talia? I mean, I couldn't help but notice that you're all dressed like... Vigilantes. Yeah, no. Yeah, friends. She's... Yeah, we work for her a little bit. That explains how you found me. We actually didn't find you very easily. Oh, I mean, that's the point. No one's supposed to be here. Sure. Do you have any mangoes? May? They're kind of not in season right now. Peaches. No. That's fine. It's fine. Do you have the wildflower of the mango peach? No, my last shipment was actually eaten by rats. That's unfortunate. I can't thank you enough for fixing him. He still looks... I feel like my job isn't done, but... Right. Can you tell what's wrong with him still? No. Not at all. He seems to be unconscious. Physically there shouldn't be anything wrong after, of course, a resting period. And I cradled him on my arm and said, Doctor, please save my husband. I'm doing my best. As far as something with you, I don't know if I have anything that can deal with... Can I read his thoughts? Yeah. Okay. We'll call him... We'll call him drilling this time. I don't think he's putting up resistance. What languages do you speak? Where is that again? Great job. It depends on where you put it. Oh, common, abyssal, and elven. Gotcha. Yeah. Oh, the abyssal. That's demons. That's demons in there. It's a... He's just like repeating something, sort of solving himself. Like, it's kind of a mantra. He's just like on a long journey, just sort of getting into rhythm. And it's just a set of words over and over again. He recognized as a part of... It's a pretty common part of several abyssal incantations to set up spells. Gotcha. He's done been demon... Every time I read somebody's mind, you guys see me do like the vassal or even like... So I'm out of it. I'll come back. What did you see? We're in major trouble. And by weir, I mean his soul. He is, oh, it's just demons. I... He fell into a demon puddle or something. I'm not totally familiar with it, but... He is... He is spooked to his soul. Did Mike put into your story? She is good at that. Demons? Oh. Oh, yeah. I know someone who might be good at demons, if that makes any sense. Someone who's a bit of a mystic, I suppose. We could probably use somebody like that. I... Would I know how to contact her on a moment's notice? Yeah, she's in the potion next door, so... Give me a moment. This is a bit awkward and I'm going to knock on the tree. It knocks back. We have demons? You see, a wiry face, definitely not as old as it looks, because it looks like 96 or something, just like on a woman's head just sort of thrust through demons. In his head. Jesus. Wait a second. Oh, I see it. Oh, that's just him. All right. She kind of pulls back the mask a little. Yeah, people's not responding, that's the demons. What do we do? Do you want to keep the demons? No, we would not like to keep the demons. Is there a benefit to keeping the demons? They have so many wonderful medicinal properties that we have not yet studied. No, there's never a benefit to keeping the demons. I have an empty bottle. I just drank my juice. Sorry, what was your name? Apple. Apple. Apple. I'm sure you'll learn our names eventually. I'm Psycho-Seer. I can see that, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm Laura. Wait, can you explain your, thank you, I suppose, can you explain your association with demons and dispelling them, please? So, I'm Laura Chantwell of East Allentown, and I look at them and make sure that I was right. Yeah. She had to leave a place that's gone through a real downturn. Your family hit too hard by it? No. Well, that's great, all right. Your association with demons is frequent and sometimes successful. Dispelling them is on my business card, technically speaking. Business cards are very expensive, you have to understand. That sounds great, yeah. He's pretty much useless if you could just get them out. All right. He's been a bit of a burden lately. Last chance. You want to keep him? Anybody want to? All right. No, we're good. Oh, okay. I was just wondering if there's anything that I can do to assist you in this. You know what? Let me get back to you on that. She's gone. She's back through into her own little stand of trees. I have a question for not her, but for him. Oh, yeah, that's fine. What are three things closest to me, like touchable things? Closest, oh, in my area. I mean, there would be a large amount of like just potted plants everywhere, like even some hanging from little branches and whatnot. There's a small bird cage with a bird in it. Without a bird in it? There's no bird in it. Okay. There is a like small planter trough that looks like it has some budding cactuses in it that are very, very small. Anything specifically colorful or shiny or sparkly or something? Colorful or shiny or sparkly. Within the vicinity that I am in. The shiniest thing that would be close to you would probably either be the tea kettle that you were just serving drinks out of, or maybe a pile of vials, like little potion vials, like neatly stacked kind of in like, you know those milkman little things, like the little six pack? Probably that. Okay. Nothing incredibly crazy. At this point in time, you see Athel is sort of just very casually strolling back through the trees. It looks as if they've been out of the way for almost absolutely zero resistance. She just sort of glides through, which makes all that knocking. It's probably really very dark, but it's fine. She is carrying what looks to be a hospital grade medical strength cup of tea. And she's just going to stick it right under Lerum's nose. And as it passes by, you kind of get a look at it. It looks like she's putting that back in it, but in a pentagram. And powerful. The steam starts rising up, up. And Lerum make a constitution. Let's make it a fourth set. Make a fourth set. Last time I did this didn't work. There you go. La-de-da. Okay, okay. Hey. Yeah. 21. 21. You breathe in more deeply than you have in maybe your entire life except for that one time you breathe in under water in the trash bin. I want to inhale the garbage. Me every day at lunch. But it is the best thing you've ever smelled, mostly because it doesn't smell like you at this exact moment. And you're still kind of like, there's still like a bit of a buzzy high from like realizing who I can just stand here in this terrible awful nihilistic white maze as opposed to having to seasick my way through it. But this is kind of like a right jump and it's a pleasing sort of comforting sort of smell. And then there is a violent sort of shaking of the everything, of the you really. And it just kind of like, and you have to let the breath out. Okay. And so you see after going, you guys are afraid of that. Sometimes they've been in there too long, they don't want to come out. So you got to go in and she just shoves the drink in your mouth and pours it down your throat. And a moment later, you are free of the white maze. You're now in a voidish sort of a dark room with ambient lighting coming from nowhere in particular. And there are just a bunch of demons standing in front of you. But hey, you got your crossbow. I do. You sure do. Roll initiative. Y'all are all dead. He's a demon hunter, right? Yeah. Okay. That's going to be a ghost hunter. He's a ghost. They're right by each other. Right. Okay. I'll go 11. 11. 11. All right. So you get a surprise round. Okay. Because they were not expecting you to show up in your own head. Got it. They really thought they figured that one out good. Okay. So there are four demons. There are two biggest ones and two not so bigish ones. Okay. I am going to start with the small ones. All right. And I'm going to rapid shot so I can get one on each. Yeah. Okay. Take a minus two of your everything. Okay. So let's do, yeah. So for the first one. Nice is going to be 27. 27. Wow. Nice. I'm pretty short. Do you mean just roll attack on the second one first? Go ahead. Okay. That is going to be a 22. 22. All right. Here she is. These are the two small ones. Oh wait. I rolled a 19 on the first one. That threat. Which would also give me a crit. Go ahead and try it. Okay. How many demons are there? Can you have to confirm the crit, right? Do I have to confirm the crit? You do have to confirm the crit. You just have to hit there above their AC. That's all. Yeah. You don't have to crit again. Confirm time. No. What did you roll? What did you roll? 4 plus 8 which is going to be 12. It hits. So. Hey. There we go. Okay. Roll that crit. Okay. So the D10 which is this one. Yes. Okay. D10. Okay. 3 plus 5 is 8. 8 times 3 is 24. So 24 damage on the first one. Have you ever seen a demon pop? No. Yes. Yes I have. Yeah. You've seen it twice. Switch. I think in the caldera they popped a few demons. They did actually. There was one that I think they just kind of like closed-lined it like through the face. Second damage is going to be... Wow. 6. 6 damage. Have you ever seen a demon pop? Because that's what happens to this one. But it still gets hit and that's great, right? Woo. We take those. Okay. We're going to briefly return to the world of the not-in-learners head. Yeah. What does this look like from the outside? You know how they wanted to make Assassin's Creed look so cool? Yeah. Having Michael Fassbender do everything that his character is doing in Spain in a stupid room? Yes. Yeah. But it's a forest. He's physically moving. Yeah. And making the pew-pew noises. Wait, wait. Crossbow's doing the pew-pew noises. It's a personal choice. They do kind of it so fast and it's like... Wait, but is he shooting his crossbow? No, no. I mean just finger crossbow. So we're just standing there watching him just shadow box off the distance basically? Does he do this often? I don't know. I'm not familiar with it. I would like to try and help him. Want to get in there? Yeah. Absolutely. Before you can finish saying the T is in your mouth and you are one, two, three, in-learners head. Wait, I'm sorry. What? So you may now roll initiative. It's a good thing I didn't drink it in. Okay. What does she look like to us now? Right now... Poor little... Pupils just dilate just are all so funny. Oh my God. What did you roll? Where's the initiative on the tree? I mean I rolled a three. Not great. Oh initiative is there? Four, so seven. Yeah. When I had in mind when I said I want to help. What happens when you die in someone else's head? You die in real life. You go to that bottom layer of inception where there's like the ancient stuff and you have to stay there for 30 years. Also, as soon as that gets subsumed, I want Rhododactylist to try and drink the drink as well. I think Rhododactylist is the essence of form of the thought of your willpower manifesting... He's already there. Okay, he's there. Good. Good. And a little cup of tea with a little pentagram. Aw. But they spiced it with avocado and then Rhodi just goes down. Alright, so we said you...what was your...a seven total? Yeah. Okay. So you'll see one of the bigger demons which looks surprisingly like a man if a man looks a lot like a goat. Oh God. He specifically has a goat's head and there's just horrible awful acts. He's just dragging behind them all the way. And he's there about 20 feet ahead of you. And so he raises his horns up. His eyes dilate which is really freaky. His goat's got those rectangle pupils. They're just like a window, blabbering. And he's going to run straight at you, Lyram. And he'll make an attack. So on our side. Okay. What do you think? So you just jumped in, I'm guessing. Yeah. I don't know what's happening. I'm not specifically interested in taking the magic tea. Did a 16 hit ear you see? Uh, no. Yeah. No. You see this, he has this axe really on a bull like this Halberg, right? Just like, stops just a little bit short. And where you think it would reach just lever all the way forward. And as the blade just like, it smells exactly like you did for the last month. You can see a wavering in the disease light. You owe us so much. Is that a magic weapon that we can get like stinky axe? Stinky axe. Multiple stinky axe. That's true, that is true. So, anyway. If you want to drink the tea, I mean, I'll make sure you're not running outside like a lunatic. I don't really, what do we do? You already drank the tea. What's life without a little adventure? I also want to treat it. Oh, I hate all of you so much. Are we all in on the cool tea? Mm-hmm. Okay, cool. After this, we're going to go jump in. I'll just like pull off his mask. It's got to be invented, right? One limit, one limit, one rule. Don't take off the mask. Okay. You got the, one of the goat demons standing right in front of you and you have one, you know, it's a dredged, you enjoy doing terrible things to dredge demons. That's a real backstory. Yeah. And another goat demon about 20 feet away. Okay, the dredge was the one I already shot once, right? It is. Okay. I am going to take... Wretch that dredge. Yeah, so I'm going to do another rapid shot. The first shot's going to go for the dredge. I want to finish him off. That is going to be the five plus eight, which is 13. 13 is good. Not going to hit. Darn, okay. Not going to hit the 20. Well, my second shot is also going for him. All right. Do it again. That is not what I meant. But I was hoping you rolled the exact same number so I could save that, so thank you. So I missed both shots. It's the coolest way to miss, though, doing the same mistake. Like, no, I was right the first time. Yes, no. This guy is not working for me that great today. All right. So after that comes Aurora. Okay. So do Rody and I get to move at the same time, or what happens there? You just both take... She can take both turns on your turn. Yeah. Okay. So I would like to have Rody cast Smite Evil. You don't know they're evil. Rody does, though. They are. Yes. Okay. Some morally great leaders. And then I would like to attack one of them with my Simitar. Okay, cool. Remind me of Rody's... I think it's... What is Rody's Wing Buffet? Attack on Fire. Or whatever one's listed first. Whatever one has the bigger number. That's the thing. 1d2 plus 3 plus 1d6. Wait. That's the damage. Wait, what did you want me to read? I should have an attack modifier box somewhere. Oh. You should have some slashes in it. Oh. 7 plus 7? Cool. So because he has to move, he has to spend some time flapping over there so he can't make the full attack. But he can still roll it plus 7, so go ahead and roll it plus 7. Which one is he attacking? I don't know what the goat won. The goat won. That's a 6 plus 7. And plus 1 for the Smite. So 6 plus 7 plus 1 is 14. And it doesn't work. The goat is used to fighting off birds because goats live in annoying areas. What an explanation. Yeah, I've never heard of that. Now I understand. Did this ever happen to you? Whee! Oh my gosh. He's attacking all the biomes. He's annoying. That's what the horns are for. Oh. Got it, got it. That makes sense. He attacks like a net to the inside of one of the horns and just catches them. I have horns. You can catch them. That's true. Just like a sticky net. Yeah, yeah. Cool. So. He flubs it. Doesn't quite get there. Go ahead and roll for your Cemetery though. Is this the same demon or a different demon? Let's just do the same demon since he missed. Demon to the bench. Okay. I rolled a 1. You don't do well in Jeffrey's head. Apparently not. Apparently I don't either. Well, we knew that. This is called depression. So you did really, really great until other people showed up. Yeah. That's a 9 total. But if you roll the 1, you roll the 1. So, you still look really great doing it though. Like the best, I promise. I guess. I also have plus, like when my halo is on, I intimidate evil creatures. Does that help at all? If you intimidate them. Okay. Personally, I think the best way to intimidate a demon is by killing it with a Cemetery. But if you're ever like, who owes me money? I don't know. I'm Chalmo and I forgot. Then you can intimidate me. Hey, that's me. Sorry. Wait a minute. Next up is... Thank you. The dredge is going to make a very valiant effort. As dredges always do. It's kind of like... It's like a balloon but slightly less threatening. Those are the weird little like bullfrog demons. I'm actually just imagining that little like shoulder devil from the black and white series. Oh, I never... It's like, oh... Riding back together, that little thing that like has like a New York accent. I imagine like crazy frog with fat. It's like, it has this taste in it. 100% of the time I dress looks like it's saying, You stole my cuckoo. It's really unhappy about it. But it does have some claws. So it's going to just sort of speed right up to you, Lyram. And it's going to swing a claw. What about an 18? For AC? Nope. It misses. It misses. It is very good. And next up is the other goat demon. Goat demon, goat demon. I haven't switched sides with us. Should have known. He's very excited because he gets to make a choice of which giant glowing good thing he gets to hit with the axe. And he is going to choose you. Okay. How about a 24? Yeah, that hits. All right. How do you calculate that? It depends on... Does he hate my AC? Is he crazy? Okay, yeah. Yeah, that hits. It hits everyone. I have mage armor, does that help? If you put it on first. You don't have to cast it. Oh. Boo. You can put it on next turn. Okay. I wouldn't do it right next to somebody though because A, rude. B, it triggers an attack. Okay. That is nine damage. Okay. And make a fort save. I got a three. You go into your own mind. I'm trying to at least don't want to get rules of perception. We're always said the axe was like super super gross. Yeah. It is still super super gross as it slides through your skin leaving some of its gross behind and you have contracted Grey Pox. Oh boy. Inside of his mind. I miss what the Grey Pox are. Bad day. So... Yeah, he just gives you diseases. I'm glad he didn't go in there. Yeah, what are you doing? I'm just chilling with Jasper. Touching all the things. Offering him some of my potions that I found in the bag. So what's your strength score? Very low. It's a seven. Did I die? Am I going to die? I hope not. You took six strength damage. Oh. What does that mean? If you took seven. I would die. You would die. So I'm going to get her out of here. Yep. That's my goal now. Well I haven't actually arrived yet. So. While she's dying on the floor, she's like... She's just up here. That's the perfect nose. What? Initiative. Oh, us. Are you going on the Kool-Aid train here? No, no, no. I just gave Jasper one of the potions. You're going to be a potion. I forgot what it is. I assumed it's grape juice because the other one was grape juice. This one doesn't look like grape juice. What is the third potion on your list? Potion of invisibility. Would I recognize that? Oh, it's probably invisible. This common misconception about the marketing. Making these invisibles a really bad marketing strategy. I read that somewhere. Do I recognize it? What do you roll? Two. Oh. Eleven. Okay. Alright. So. Do we still have to go this round or do we have to wait until the whole other round? We're starting at the top of the next word and you have to slot in. Alright. Alright. We'll go last. What is your dex modifier? Four. Four. Who had the 11? Me. What's your dex modifier? Alright. Sorry. The other 11. There's another. It may be one of the deans. It doesn't matter. What are you asking? Who had an 11? Oh. The initiative 11? Yeah. Okay. I had an 11. Am I a dex modifier? I put a paper like string cover on it. No. Okay. I had some friction. I believe it was a 11. So the first. Oh. Was yours the 11? Possibly. What is your dex modifier? Mine is plus five. The first. Sweet. Small privileges of being inside your own head. Woo. Also small privileges, you're being attacked by the goat thing again. Oh. Do I see that they're doing problems suddenly? Yeah, what are they doing? Like did a giant wound appear in one of their bodies in the corioreal realm? Aurora's body actually just shivers, pales and just loses a great deal of its mass. It's like a light dimming. It's not good. Fascinating. I just look equally as confused. There's no indication that I've entered this at all. Like the physical effect seems very, very noticeable. The other side of it though is just like Lyra was over there. Aurora is doing a high brow theater acting. Do you see like the axe coming in and she's like, Ah! Fall into it a little bit. And then the grievous wound starts showing up and it's like, wow. I feel like I should go in there. I don't want to though. Don't leave me. Options. I feel like this falls under my... 19. 18, 19. Oh, no. What is your AC? 20. Really? Yeah. I feel like I'm going to go fast. Sweet! Okay. I still feel like they still fall under my care even if they're in his mind. Can you do something while they're out? So if someone's right next to me, do they get a bonus against range attacks? They will get an attack of opportunity. I believe you may have a ghostling or a deed that lets you fire one off without that, but you can also just five foot step away and then shoot them in the face. But if I back up because that gets a... It's a halberd. So it's got the reach. Okay. Well, then I am just going to shoot the one that's not right next to me. We'll still get the attack right here. Oh, really? Oh, I see. Okay. Go ahead. I looked through your deeds real fast. Just list them up. The deeds? Deeds. It's your gunslinger stuff. The special abilities? Like the ones that cost grit? Yeah, it's the ones. Okay. Sharp shot, gunslinger's dodge, vigilant loading, gunslinger's initiative, pistol whip, and nimble. What was the first one? Sharp shot. Are we level five? Yeah. Sharp shot. It's one grit shot versus touch AC within 120 feet? Right. Do you think any of those are the issues without getting an attack? Yeah, it doesn't look like it. I think pistol whip. I have one that I can load without getting an attack. Which is good. Okay. Yeah, so I guess I'll do pistol whip. Yeah. All right. It is... Oh, jeez. How does this go? What I have is melee attack with bow, kit equals CMB pro. That's my shorthand apparently. So your CMB bonus is on your sheet somewhere? Yeah. But you can also add any plus ones you have to your bow to the attack, I believe. I'll say you can. It's a nice bow. Plus ones? Like, is it a magical bow at all? It's a master bow. Not quite there. That's just like magically enchanting, but not actual magic. Yeah, I don't think it's magical. Go ahead and just roll your dive plus CMB. Okay, so... 21. Yeah. Sweet. Okay. What do I roll for damage? I think it's something like 1d6 plus they have to make a reflex save or go pro. Just 1d6? Plus strength. Okay, 1d6. Six. All right. It's a surprise, man. That's a great sense because you don't do that. Because they can't touch. Be sure to check out dftba.com. Wow. And buy the... Do you have scribe pages due to the polyhedron shirt available now? Also, so is the one with Joey's face on it. They're working on that, so by the time this comes out it should be up. I can't wait for that one. It's gonna be great. I announce you if you can get that shirt also. Yeah. Make it come out when you're checked. So roll the same thing again. Oh, okay. It's gonna be so much worse though. So the CMB? Yeah, 15. 15 total? Yeah. I don't actually know what you're gonna see. Yeah. No, okay. You're all like hopped up and like, yeah, hitting the face with my bow. And I go like for the leg sweep and you're just like... It does not... Yeah. That's okay. I did six damage. Yeah. It's something. Next up is psychosear. Yes. How are you doing? What you up to? Um... I'm excited to be here. It's good, it's good. Yeah, high five. Into the fun. All right. She's looking rough. This hurts. None of that high five doesn't feel so good. You kill her, Aurora. High five straight. High five her. I'm gonna attack a demon. Yep, I'm just gonna attack a demon. You have a preference? I'm going to... Who's closest? You are over here. So you are on the back of the corner of this. So you have dredge over here and the two goats kind of moved in this way. So you're sort of like, they're kind of bowed out. So they're all equal distance from you. They're all 20 feet away. Okay. You have goat dredge. Okay. Which one's scarier? Definitely disease goat. Yeah. I'll attack disease goat. No, no, I thought you wanted to get away from that. I don't want to get anywhere near disease goat. Geez. Go ahead. I didn't want to get close. How does my staring work? Does it have to be looking at me? Do I make it look at me? I mean, I think it's generally like part of the process, but it's not necessary. It's just... Hey, over here. Look at me. That's me. The guy who can ignore anyone. I am immune to the mind rapist. It doesn't work that way. Nope. Your intention is what matters. Okay. Sicko. You can just apply your stare to them whether or not they see it. Okay. I am going to do burning gaze and a painful stare, which is extra damage on top of an attack. Yes. Okay. So you set up your burning gaze rate, which I believe is a swift action, I think. I'll check I have it up. And then... It's a standard action. It's a standard action. Okay, so that'll be your move, your action. And it... What does the burning gaze do? It is 1d6 of fire damage. And the painful stare is when you actually hit them. It doesn't work. The painful stare is another 1d6 of damage plus 1 for every half level. Sure. So what does that put that at? Like 1 for every half level? It just says... Not half for every... Okay. I don't know what it says. It says 1d6 plus 1 half level extra damage on own attack. Sure. But it's when you attack. Okay. So this one will just be the 1d6, then. Okay. So the pain... It'll be the 1d6 on top of the fire? No, that'll be the burning gaze damage. Because I don't think it's... I guess... Is it gaze attack? I don't know. I guess if it's a gaze attack... Yeah, well, we'll say it is. If this... If your burning gaze does not hurt, then your normal action... So go ahead and roll it both. Okay. Is he gonna save against this at all? He's in fortitude save. Okay. I'm gonna take that. Do my best. He will just also take your stare like it's nothing. He totally passes the fortitude save. Gotcha. It doesn't take any... Any half effects on failure as a gesture? Um... Let's see. What I'll save for? That's for burning? I don't think... I don't think there's any results from not getting it. All right. You still have a move action in this. What's the action if you can use it? Um... Do I still cure the humming in my head? In my character? I think you always cure a little bit of humming in your head. Yeah. It's just like right now. Sometimes you get a nice harmony going. Yeah. With your own head humming, it's nice. Let me see. Burning gaze is a spell. Oh. I thought that was a... Yeah, burning gaze is a spell, sorry. Yeah. Yeah, fortitude just negates it entirely. He's nothing but fortitude. He is a ghost demon who wallows in trash disease all day. That makes sense. Is it dark? Yes, but also no. I described it very specifically as in the middle of a black void with ambient lighting coming from nowhere. So I will allow it to be... The answer is yes both times. So as long as it's okay that it's light, it is also dark. I will. Is casting a spell an action? Yes. Is it a standard action? It is. I don't have any more standard actions? You do not. I think probably you're just down to like moving. Yeah. I have... What is touch treatment? Oh, actually removes fascinated or shaken. Right. Is she shaken? Or fascinated? Not in the capital sense. Sure. Okay. I can't do anything. I like that you have it like it's like if somebody else dares managed to grab the attention of your victim, you go over and just like touch them instead of just looking at them. It's like, no, buddy. It's pretty funny. I think I'm using my ultimate weapon. Alright. Next up, it is... Arista. I would like to cast Mage Armor on myself. Which increases my AC by 4. And I would like to have my bird juice might evil again. On the demon that looks the saddest. This one's kind of like... I'm really feeling it though. It's like you don't have to get hit like that. Like the full six on it. You go ahead and roll the bird hit. It says he's right next to it. You can roll all three of his attacks. Wing Buffet, claw claw. Okay, that's 19. Plus seven is a 26. Oh, it was a 15. Oh. 12 plus 7. Okay. In that case, still hits. So you can roll that. That's a 21. That will also hit. And a 9. That one doesn't do so much. But you can roll 2d2 plus 4 plus 2d6. Oh, I also have plus 4 damage to evil. Right. Plus 4. Okay. 2d2 plus 3. Wait. All right. So that's 6 from your strength. 4 from your smiting. And instead of just roll 2d2s and 2d6. That's a d2. A coin d4 divided by 2. No. It is a coin. That doesn't do math. Okay. Right click Pathfinder right like math. It's very important. Okay, I got a 5 for the d6. Okay. And then... Did you roll it twice? No. I lost track of what you were saying. Okay. And then a 4. 9 for that. Just roll a d4 twice. It's very important to note that in this campaign... You got a 3 on the d4. One. I have never successfully stared at anybody. Two. I have not once done anything. And I will never recommend this character to anybody. I know. Sorry guys. I'm however staring at people. It works. I would say the staring... I have never pulled off a spell. The staring works. Defeat and attack. No. It has never worked. It worked once on the dog person. If you hit him, it would do more damage. The stare is working. It's just not that useful unless you do the other parts. It has never worked. You're enhancing something that doesn't exist. The problem is you're not using a cool... You have to make it a cool sound if you have to do it more and more. You know, that's probably what it is. I don't even have to roll for it. I just do it and it doesn't work. It's my character. 1 plus 2 is 3. Plus 6 plus 4 is 13. Plus 4 plus 6 is 24. Plus... I think there was something else in there. What is your mind? How do you have all those numbers in there? What did you do? The bird attacks. We did not name our bird on accident. Pippa has a smite civilization. I forgot the bird gets a plus 1 on attack against you. I got that. So this goat demon just over here just having a blast hits me with the axe and they caught the disease and they caught it as bad as they could. She almost died. It was great. And then just... It wasn't fair because how much of a face does it have left? This is why people are afraid of birds. Also, it screams like the sun while it happens. If you have to describe the sound of this attack, it would only be justice. That was exactly what I was picturing. It sounded justice. So, bad day for him. The remaining dretches turn. I guess you should move. Me? Okay, can I move as far away from everything as possible? Yeah, let me see the bright one for you. I said it stuff early so you're on the outside of this range. So if you just... I forgot there was pizza. Want a piece of pizza? No, no, no. I'm strong. I'm a pillar. Is this to deal with the depression? Do a break after this fight probably. You can teach her how to revolve. Pizza time. I'll fight you for it. You can five foot step away, but that's about it. If you take an action to walk away, well, you know what though? Can you catch the disease twice? Do you get diseases? Maybe. I think the strums... I don't know, I feel like I had like five of them earlier. I think I had to invent that rule. I'm pretty sure it's because I cross-bred diseases just to make you angry and hurt. Well, you succeeded. To be fair, I don't think anyone's ever had to calculate inhaling literally a sewage water. You should try it sometime, it's great. I don't want to. Yeah, I mean, I don't think that the disease... The strength damage won't hit again until the next morning when you fail to save again. So I would suggest getting rid of something happening very quickly. For example, before you die next morning. Like heal myself? Well, the ability damage is the stuff that's going to get you. The actual HP damage wasn't that much, it was like six or something. My bird has something that gives people strength. He has the ability to increase strength. Is that for him or can you do it to me? It was just for him. Boo. But she's like a protein shake. What's the point of it? Just a little birdy protein shake. He's way stronger than me. His strength is a 17. He's 10 to 10. I can't use any of my elixirs or whatever on another person. However, I can craft the potion of lessorestoration which does heal ability damage. That would work. Yep, that would do it. And so I could just do that. You should... Out of the mind. Probably... Can I start doing that right now? Hey, you know, it's your treehouse. Yeah. It is mine, I don't know. See if I have any ingredients for a lessorestoration potion. Yeah. It costs 300 gold and usually craft potion is... I can do it in less than two hours if it's 250 gold or less. We're gonna call it good. You can totally start. Okay. I approve this math so I don't have to do it. Okay. What am I doing? But yeah, if you would like to just like walk away a little bit, you can. Right to you. Me? I walk away a little bit. I mean, am I allowed to do... No negative consequences? You can walk five feet away with no consequences. Yeah, you can do a zoos away. And now he has to move to get closer to you, which means he can't. He can't do a mega blast. Okay. It is other dredge or other goat's turn. So, this is the one that was next to you. Still next to you. Yeah. Still liking the idea of... How do you feel about disease? Hmm? What? How do you feel about disease? How do I feel about it? What? Twenty-eight? Hold on. Hold on. Let me get the math here. I don't think so. Just barely. Yeah. At least he's actually twenty-seven. All right. Make a fortitude save. We all know I'm great at these. Actually, yeah. I mean, listen, you've inhaled sewer water. What's worse? Yeah. Let's find out. Well, wait, wait, which one is it? Fifteen. Fifteen? The antibodies have worked. You just barely escaped your brush with... This is not as bad as that sewer water. Wait, did it do damage? It did do damage, but... He just didn't give us... But I didn't give him... The strange crap. Like spaghetti. Oh. Yum. Eleven damage. Eleven. Got it. A modest stab. Pemdus. Pemdus? Pemdus? And we are back up to goat demon number one, who is looking at that bird and going, Wow. That was terrible. We didn't go back to the top, did we? We did. I should be there somewhere. At the bottom. I rolled a two. We should eventually reach me. In a little bit. Go ahead. Am I close enough to anything to use brawlers, flurry, it's a full attack? It is a full attack, no. You are pretty much the exact opposite side of the arena from Psycho Seer, so you're also 20 feet away from everything, but it's mirrored. All right. Well, what's the closest one? The closest one is going to be goat bee. Goat bee. All right. Well, there's nothing around here to grab or to throw or anything, so I guess I'm just going to charge it and do just like a big side kick. All right. You can add a plus two to the attack roll. I can add a plus two? For the charge, yeah. Oh. I forgot that was a maneuver. That was just colorful language. Be careful. Is he doing this in Jester's place? Yes. Also just... 17. 17. The bush outside got hit. It makes you feel like, oh my God. I like to point out that I rolled a six and that went 17 with my results, so if I had rolled a little bit higher, it would have been fine. Wow. That's how I feel about the last many turns. Back of the top, we have goat A who is going to look at the bird, decide that it hates birds, is also going to five foot step backwards away from your bird and cast Protection from Good. Okay. That's a thing. It is a thing. And it's hideous and smells exactly like necromancy. Some of those things are like someone tries to war themselves against evil. They do like the cross thing. They just do the pentagram. Is that like the way... Get away, good things. Just takes out a picture of Mr. Rogers and just... You monster. All right, Lyram. Okay. So wait, did he take it? You took a step back? The one next to Rhododactylistin. Not me. Not you, no. Darn. Okay. Okay. If I want to get... I want to get away from him. Okay. But I don't think I necessarily have a thing that keeps him from getting like an attack of opportunity on me. There is one thing. You can take the withdrawal action and just use both of your actions to just say, Nope, nope, nope, nope. Just back up. And move twice your speed. Also want to shoot him. That is the tricky bit. Yeah. Okay. Tell you what, tell you what. You know what? You're going to see his twight. I am going to use my full movement to get away from him. And then take a shot at him. If that means he gets an attack on me, that is fine. All right. It does. Okay. And you will. Cool. Just because like if you're offering, it's rude to refuse. But because it's just a token of appreciation, he lets you pass. He's like, eh, go for it. Sounds good. Okay. So my movement is 30 feet. So I'm 30 feet away from him? No, 30 feet away from him. Okay. Now. I am going to do everything I can to hurt him very badly. That sounds like a job of deadly aim. First, yes. First is deadly aim. And then I am also going to do a sharp shot, which is one grit for, which lets me go against his touch. Go against his touch. Yes. So yeah, I'm going to do that. Here we go. Okay. Yeah. Okay. That is going to be 24. 24 will definitely hit his touch AC. Sweet. Okay. So that means I get to a little damage, which is D10. D10 is this one. Okay. Okay. Not bad. D10 is 9 plus 5, which is 14 plus 4, which is 18 damage. Where's the second board going from? Bit from the deadly aim. All right. Yeah, it does that too. Cool. So how much total? 18. 18. All right. Well, it isn't quite the same as being like attacked in the face by a bird of justice, but he does look very offended. Sweet. Like this was not how it was supposed to go. This makes me happy. It's like we're seeing. The sound effect. You got to do it. Actually be more like that noise that the drummer makes in Scott Pilgrim when it like pans to her really fast. Like a screech. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's more like like when you pull a cord in an amp really fast. Microphone feedback. I was going to say, I thought you were like the noise in Hell's Kitchen, or not Hell's Kitchen, in Kitchen Nightmares whenever it pans to like a filthy sound. That noise. Let's see. Got to be a high school girl violin. I will attack it with my star knives. That's pretty cool. Are you going to do that up and close, or are you going to do that from far away with the here? How far am I? You are 20 feet. That's in range. I will. I would suggest throwing them because I don't remember if I let you use dexterity for your melee attack yet. Definitely because I'm putting a lot of time making sure she's got a star knife's grace on her character. It is a thrown weapon though. It's versatile. It's a throwing weapon. It is a, huh, no matter if you are like this way, this way, this way, or this way, that far, or this close, I can get you. Actually I thought yours were, I mean, they may have started to start off, but I thought you reflavered them as those like Indian throwing discs. Oh yeah, the chakram. Yeah, the chakram. That's what I thought. Evil eyes. Okay, but I'm going to do that and painful stare, if that's how that works. As long as you're getting that, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Okay, I'm going to do that. You didn't stop staring at it, did you? Not for one second? No, I never stopped staring at it. I didn't expect it to do anything. That's why you're so impressive. And I will use starry grace. Yes, you can't stop. Okay, great, perfect. So I rolled to see if I hit. Yep. What do I add to that again? Your attack modifier should be end by right by your weapon. Yeah. Range, Tulsa. Oh yeah, I think I put it by your weapon. Should be just filling the long skate box. Oh, I see. 12. 12. Yep. Plus something because of painful or is that damage? That's damage. That's damage. Okay, never mind. Yeah. Maybe the problem is like, your eye is just a little bit too much on the ball. We also kind of have to like look at this. It doesn't quite hit, sorry. Yeah. It is no Aurora your turn. Okay. I would like to attack one of the demons. It's a good start. It is an objectively good capital G thing to do, I believe. Yes. Probably the one that did not cast resistance, good. But it doesn't do it. It doesn't matter. Okay. Unless you have a wholly aligned weapon, then that's way too much money for this level. So don't do that. Okay. It's not wholly aligned? Not yet. Like a flaming center? Okay. You know, it's fire aligned. Yeah, okay. Roll your attack. I got a one. It's really the message you're sending to the people though with that. Just pretend I was dancing. It looks like it from the outside. Is it like a VR thing where she's sliding into a tree that she doesn't see? It almost cuts down the tree though. So what would you like Rhododactylist to do? I would like him to try and smite it again. I'm going to need a new house after this. Yeah. I'm thinking about leaving. I'm thinking about leaving. Go ahead and roll. We have fun here. I'm glad to see, though, actually smiting something with protection from good on an item. I'm not actually 100% sure what that does. I don't often have my players pass protection from good. They should because they're not usually good. They usually definitely need it, but... Protection from existentialism. I wish, man. It's called alcohol. And you shouldn't do it. It's a bad thing. Don't do drugs or don't smoke alcohol. It's not the solution. Don't drink weed. Don't drink it. You'll die. It's horrible. Don't gargle bomb water. Protection from good. This spell functions like protection from evil. Nice. Powerful. It's like those dictionary entries that just divert to other words. Right. Or the Adam West phone book. Repulsive. The opposite of pulsive. What are you doing? Can I just pivot and do something else instead? I don't actually think it matters. So go ahead and just roll it. Dog, dog, dog, dog. Okay. Eidolon has very specific rules. Normally if a submit creature that is good aligned touches something with protection from good, it just poofs. But because that would suck if your entire class teacher did that. Every time somebody used a level one spell against you, Eidolon would just have a no clause. Nice. I think I got a 16. 16 won't hit. Okay. Yeah, because he stepped away from the bird. So while the bird could just five foot flat back, he could keep rolling these times. Okay. Ten. One more shot. It's only plus two, but why not? Five. That's why not. All right. Kill me. I don't know what's going on over there. I'm rolling like twos and threes exclusively. Over here. We're having dog mouth noise. He's in this fight too. He's gonna go run up to Owen because nobody's attacking him. That seems like the cool thing to do. All right. Bring it. Is this the frog? He did not. The bringing did not happen. He left it back there. Just hold my foot out against his head and he's like... Coco, so... This is my turn? It is your turn. Okay. Is the goat guy still next to me? Should I get in on this? I feel like I should get in on this. He seems more threatening, so I'm just gonna like just... These people don't seem to be... Push the dretcho a little bit and I'm gonna take... Now I'm gonna do a brawler flurry. Just two solid jabs right into the... My house is already ruined. I get a minus two for each tag, I believe. Yeah. What was the plus two for last time? That was for the charge. Charge. Okay. Can I get in on this? Natural 20. Woo! What is your policy on confirming criticals? You can do it. Okay, fine. I just have to hit. If they're already dead. 20 again. I will get in on this. 22. Okay. Can I... I'm gonna go and roll the same tag. Yeah, roll. Thanks. That one was only a... 12, I think. You got in twice with the right and not with the left, which is confusing. You got the 112, which nobody expects. Okay, so that's 2d8 plus 4, normally. So I do all that and then... Multiply by 2? Yeah. Okay. Pizza hand. Yeah. Damn it. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Damn it. Oh wait, no. I roll... I actually roll four times, right? It's 4d8. Yeah, because I roll... Okay. So it's... God damn it. It's fine. Fine. Fine. 17. 17. He dies. How strong am I? All right. He dies. It's not like it's not like super dramatic or like... 100. Oh my gosh. I do every two punches. I do every two punches. That was... You still won't... Have you ever seen a demon like... Oh. Oh. Kidney function. I punch him in the heart. I just... Just direct heart punch. I didn't... God. Yep. Just like that. He collapses like a rug on the floor. I think it's racist when you say it about a goat person. I don't know. Okay. But... I'm going to turn and look at the... Just stare at the... The dredge that I pushed away. The dredge, incidentally, is going to get a special action to prove our existence. It is done. The dredge leaves. The dredge is done. That was good. That was enough for the dredge. Yay. Are you ready for the dart? Kidney's back up to the top of the turn order. I think he's first, yeah. Yeah, Geoffrey's top. No. The top was one of the goat guys. I think it was that goat guy. I just killed the heart punch. Revenant. Yes. Okay. I will use my move action to... Reload. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Who's left? One goat dude. I want to shoot him. Do it. Do it. Okay. But I want to do it twice. I will allow it. Because I think you've had a tough day. Rapid shot. Free your mind from the demons. Also, just a quick question. I have a thing called precise shot. But my shorthand is do not take minus four if target is in combat. Right. That's all true. It's not. And you still have it. So it doesn't matter. This was a waste. Keep going. Okay. Got it. I just ignored that. Did you see any of that? Sounds good. I am also going to do sharp shot again. You should be out of the crit. No. Because I got a crit and I got a kill. Did you have to use your crit by the time? Because your pistol whip was one. Right. I started with two. I got two more from those and I used two grit. I am at two grit right now. Sure. You know what? If it works in your head, it works in your head. Right? So go ahead. Okay. Do you know who attacks? Yes. Yes, I am. Okay. You only live it as your mind. You can do whatever you want. I am going to wait. Truly, if this was in his brain, could he be like flying around, shooting firefix? You are the one. That is the most average roll I have seen in my entire life. 18 and a 19. The 19 works. Interesting. Even with touch? No, it is actually working. Sweet. Okay. Next, I am going to roll damage. I am going to burn a seven foot long halberd and being at the front half of a goat and I will touch a c of 19. That means you are tatl like your mountain goat-ing around a human feet. That is bad. Okay. That is a 12 plus... No, not plus anything. So a 12 and a nine. A nine makes 21. That makes him dead. Yay! We killed the spirit. Well, you killed the spirit. I sit outside looking. Y'all are all just like- I get it back. Y'all imagine. There you go. You're like in a kind of like cool, like, contest dance. Aurora, you are like, you have fainted not so delicately against a tree, but with like great dramatic flair. Psycho-scary, I believe you are still staring, and really, like, the story's all like burning bushes, right? Just- What did you drink? He drank a lot of super water. I don't remember. Is that what that does? So what happens is you go, suddenly your head just like flips back and your mouth opens wider than it's ever opened before, and it's covered a lot today. And there's a screaming, piercing cry that is- That is not coming out of your mouth, but going from the heavens down into your mouth. Oh, God. The clouds swirl backwards, and the four- You see these four horrible, wretched, like twisted smoke beings, just like spiral up out of your lungs and just screech loudly into heaven and hell, both a vessel. We need the cleanest, emptiest vessel. And they immediately be lined straight for child well. And just dive right through the top of the head. Toot, toot, toot. Go ahead and make a well-safe. What's that? I'd say we just leave this one, huh? Which one's well-safe? It's just- That's what super water looks like? Oh, oh, right. Okay, six. Well, you see, we live in a demon condom. No, you roll a twig. All the sewer water has demons in it. Every single little bit of sewer. It's really gross. You know, I didn't know that, but I can't say I've ever tried to get before, so I'll take your word for it. 17. So, as a part of your vigilante archetype, when you get stressed out and make a well-safe, and it doesn't work, let's get a little angry. This guy's place is destroyed enough. So, you want to just so we can say once, you want to give us a rundown on exactly what happens when you get mad. We haven't even seen this happen before, have we? This literally has never happened since we started playing this game. It turns into a hat? I can't see. And I can't see, and I just start flailing to beat whatever's attacking me. That's, it could be anybody, it could be anything. It makes sense that this is what he understands because he can't see it happening. It is horrifying. It's like, what happens if you filled water balloons with evil that had gone bad? Like all of his biceps, they bulged, but not in cool ways. It's like they bulged inward and you see like veins kind of like popping out through the back. All the colors are rolling out. He's just like, grows outwards. Outwards, he becomes just the most horrifying-looking thing. And then his eyes go black. There is a roar, quite like the one that was, like they screamed out in the hoods before. And this creature, which I actually mentioned, is not really child well any longer. Just absolutely hulk bounces out. And it's just gone. I say we just let that one go. I mean, the townspeople don't like it. Yeah? Adults think it's like sort of sticks their head out. I offered to put them in a bottle. But you said you didn't want to keep them? Am I completely conscious and aware of everything at this point? Yes, welcome to the game, Leroy Quill. We are in a forest. Wait, what? What's going on in the forest? Hi, you're in what used to be my apartment. How are you feeling? Okay, I guess. That's great. That means it's working. You have a lot of demons inside you. Your husband, he's now filled with the demons and jumped away. Oh, God. What? He said that you were his husband. A lot happened while you were out. Here we go. What have you done? We married you. Do you have a place that I can crash for a while? No. Oh, wait, do we? You do. There's lots of sleeping room in the statue. Right. Somewhere. Because I assume my place is quite literally trash. And I would not hesitate to point out very, very gross smelling. I'm gonna take my... That's not even the demons. That's just, that's just Lyrim. I'm gonna take my planter of cactuses and my empty bird cage and probably leave everything else because it's probably shattered. Sounds good. I'm going home. I will see you later. And we will call it there. And we'll see exactly what happens with these developments next time. Thanks for watching, everybody. Thank you so much for watching Altered Egos.

Hope you enjoyed Altered Egos. Thank you guys so much for all the feedback that you left on last week's videos. They did really well and it was really encouraging. And we all really enjoyed reading all of your comments. We don't normally do the whole like, comment and subscribe spiel here on Dormonster because, you know, screw the algorithm and money. But it is actually very helpful to let us know what you guys like. It will let us know that you guys are interested enough for us to keep making more of them. If you're not interested, don't interact with the video and we'll know that those aren't as good and we won't make more of them. We'll be back on Friday with another new video here on the main channel and in the meantime, you can check out Dormonster Podcast, which is another YouTube channel and where you're uploading podcasts every single Wednesday and all of our old ones are on there too. So there's lots of content on there to keep you busy in the meantime. And yeah, that's pretty much it. See you later.
