 You guys are in the depths of the Warforge factory. Alright, we have done everything here. I look at all of the things that we have done here. I leave this. Yeah, I was going to say, like is it time to go to the other, oh there he goes, yep. This is not my hat, this is the ghost of the hat because I kind of were picking up my hat long ago. I want there to be no besmirchment on my character, I've worn my hat since picking it up. So yes, you guys head back and you can see that the barrier is definitely a little bit more lightened and more transparent. You can see easier into the room. And let me describe a little bit of what you see. You can't quite see it extremely clearly. But you can see that there are like bits of dim orange glow on like the sides of the room. By the way, chat, let me know how the audio sounds if I need to turn down that music. You see like orange glows on the left and right side of the room ahead, as well as some sort of elevated area with multiple like silhouettes of humanoid standing idle. Question. Oh, answer. Is this movable? Let me see. Yeah, because, you know, in case. Hey, just in case. Just in case. That is the Oaken Bolter. And that thing does need to be manned. Ah, sorry, Renee. Stupid, gendered weapons. Wow. Damn Daniel. See, I won't. I'm not going to touch it because I'm an ally, but. So answer Daniel. Yes, it can be moved and it has a move. It has a move speed of 30 feet. Oh, sweet biscuits. Good to know. Just got a new toy. Good to know. I have a wonderful theory. Wonderful plan. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Uh-huh. Wait. Yeah, be well. I go ahead. Go ahead. You can do it. Didn't Nathaniel want to do something? Yes, not particularly. OK, I mean, you said that they weren't moving on the other end, right? No, they're not. You can see that they look very humanoid shape. And, you know, like, they're probably some kind of humanoid, but they're sitting completely still like mannequins. How many are there? Mm, you can tell. One, two, three, four. Fourteen, if I move over here. Fourteen. When counting all of them, you can see 14. Hmm. No, if it doesn't work, watch it in there. I imagine this is going to be more difficult. The longer it takes, I don't know how many more they're going to have. Fun. So for the time being, do we want to take that heavy ammunition, you know, just aim it right there so that when it drops, we don't have to worry too much about them trying to come at us? She's gestures over to the cannon. Does it need to be? Does it need to be manned in order to be fired? Well, yes, but we can move it over there preemptively. Not a bad idea. I think that it would be a very good idea. You know, what do you think? Magnus is he's just kind of investigating. You can see he's brushing his hand around like all the various pieces of architecture and machinery. And he's just kind of taken in by everything. And he goes, what do you mean to destroy the Warforged? I didn't say anything about that. But why would that be a problem for you? You can see he hesitates and looks around a minute. I guess it wouldn't. Ken, I don't know if insight is the best thing for this. It's the best thing for me. I want to roll insight. You most certainly can. You most certainly can. Thank you. I'm going to let y'all do it. Hey. Oh. No, no, no. Oh, no. Luna, take this back. I can't have the bad rules. I'm good. The investigator can't read the face of this man. But Luna. The woman who deals with shady people all the time. You can see that he is a little hesitant at the thought of destroying the Warforged. That he does seem to have something like he wants something from these Warforged. What it is, who knows. But he seems taken aback by that thought somewhat. He is trying to hide it, though. You can tell. He's trying to keep a poker face as best he can. Which is a red flag to me. No surprise to me. I do think it's best that you be honest with us. Because frankly, you're not a good liar. I see. I can tell that there is a little lack of trust between us, admittedly. Well, you did just kind of show up. We have no idea who you are. And suddenly, I think you know a lot about Nathaniel and you seem familiar with Enoch. So yes, I am suspicious of you. You have told us next to nothing about you. And yet expect us to let you help. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. He doesn't want us to help at all. Or he doesn't want to help us at all. He wants to stand here in the middle of the room and be left to his own devices. He wants something in this factory. Both of these are true, yes. I do want to sit here, not participate. And I do want something from this factory. I admit I am not the strongest combatant. These weapons and my component pouch are merely for defensive measures in case I get in a situation that is dicey. I'm usually one that has others help work with him. Unfortunately, my former party is no more. I was thinking, perhaps, if I would get some assistance from you all, I could maybe have a war-forged companion that could help me in future endeavors. I'm inciting this. I just want to make sure if he's lying. I don't want to rapid-fire incite, but that's such a thing to say. Well, that's a useful thing to incite on. He's trying to tell us, so we need to see if he's lying, 15. Like 15. Ah, finally, we're back inside the house because we only roll 20s in it. Also, for the sake of the argument, when he's talking, I kind of just roll my hand over the back of my neck. Now, looking at, he is still definitely hiding something from you. He's not giving you the full story, but you can tell that he, judging by his composure, the thing about not being much of a fighter on his own is pretty easy to determine looking at his garb and how he's dressed. He's very underprepared for any sort of combat thing. He steps up and starts to take off some of his equipment as a gesture of good faith, if you would like. Here, he holds out a scabbard and a little pouch, my sword and my component pouch. Without it, I am a sitting duck and I would be at your total mercy. Well, that's not exactly true. If you know how to cast magic, then you also would know not all spells require components. He squints his eyes, very good, Mr. Witchtaker. That is true. What would you want of me? Absolutely nothing. To leave? Oh no. I don't want anything from you. I'm just very confused at this motive. I do not, I don't mean this to sound as insensitive as it's going to sound, but are you telling me that you can't just go to a tavern and meet new people? That you have to go through a lot of this? I had to give it to you. I could try making friends. Have you tried making friends? Just a little bit of self-rejection, aren't we? Hold on, hold on, hold on. She has more to that thought in this program, sorry. Go on, sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I mean, really, this just seems like a lot of trouble to go through to simply have a companion when there are plenty of people also looking for companions, just seems like a lot of hoops to jump through. Give me a persuasion. Wow. There it is, there it is. I'm not charismatic. All of my intimidation checks are by muscle, excuse me. Very well. He scratches his chin a bit, you know? That would be the normal way of doing things. Yes, that's why this is strange. Out of preparation, I'm going to take my glasses off and fold them in my hand for just a moment and wait. Oh, are you planning on doing something? Oh, I'm preparing to prepare something because he just gave a very matter of fact response to a very accusational statement. Tact is not something Luna has. He looks around at all of you and just the various interrogations, he shrugs his shoulders very well. I will leave you to your devices and simply wait outside with Scorpio if that would put you at ease and maybe go to a tavern and meet some people. Well, as a matter of fact, I don't want to bore Scorpio with, well, never mind. But I think that your presence here would be perfectly fine. I don't see how you're going to cause any ruckus, unless of course this barrier that I'm standing behind were to shut off suddenly, leaving you in the middle so that you can enter the room before we do. He lifts his hands up. I see where you are getting at. So how about this? Because I am interested in knowing what you're actually doing here. You can stay with Scorpio if you'd like or you could come with us and you don't have to get involved in the combat, but when we're finished, we'll be the first here when the barrier is done and then we'll come get you if you are with Scorpio. All right, he, I'll say that he agrees to either option. I'll let you guys choose. Does he go with Scorpio or does he follow you guys behind at a safe distance so that you can keep track of him? I want him with us for the drama, but that's just me as a play. If we send him with Scorpio, Luna's going to say he does not get his weapons. Yeah, Scorpio's probably dead. Scorpio's not a smart guy, unfortunately. Scorpio is dead. Don't, don't put that in the air. Don't. The only downside to bringing him with us is we've already seen a lot of fire and this man is a tree. He is a tree. Yeah. To be honest with God, I really don't mind him coming with us. That said, yeah, that said, as Nathaniel would say, that is a win-win situation. Enoch, what is your opinion on this? I'm going to, I'm going to agree with Luna on this and say, if I put him with Scorpio, but take his weapons. Okay, it seems, it seems that there is a split here. So with this, Kuro, you have the deciding to vote. My hat, you have the deciding to vote. And it lands on heads. So we are going to roll a D. Why don't we just ask the guy? Oh, because he has neither preference. Fine, that's fair. We can roll. God. Since it is split, we will roll a D2 and, i.e. flip a coin. And if it lands on a one, Magnus will be going with you guys. And if it lands on a two, Magnus will be staying with Scorpio without his equipment. Does that sound good? Come with us. Come with us. Yay! He is going along with the party, staying at a safe distance and you're going to keep an eye on him. Great. Fantastic. I'll flick my glasses, put them back on my face and start walking. Yeah. Yeah, let's go. So this one is the hot room, yes? This was the light. Which one is it? I know the other room is hot though, it's fire. There's a heat. There is a heat. Okay, down there. While you do walk, Enoch, he just kind of like walking alongside you and he just kind of whispers to you, I do admire your companion's determination. I'd admire it if you would just leave, but best instructions are best not taken, right? Are you also done flirting with each other? How are you going to come with us? They're following along. Fuck, right. Yeah, okay. So, going into this room, I will say that behind this door, you guys can see that there is a window in this door and you can see, let me see, that there are some dim orange lights similar to behind the barrier, as well as a few small creatures kind of crawling along the floor as well behind this frosted glass. Could I like press my ear against the door to see if I can hear? Cause what I think it is is like the little spider droid thing. So I just kind of want to see if I can hear like metal hitting metal. Yeah, you can. You hear clanging, just like king, king, king, as well as a few voices speaking in common, muffled. You can't really understand what they're saying because they're behind the door. Actually, you know what? Fucking Nathaniel's passive perception is so high. Hehehehehe. Ah, yes, I forgot. I am a walking sentry. Right, right. You are. You're forgetting. What do I see with my snake eyes? You don't see much with your snake eyes, but what you can hear with your snake ears is a someone just shouting orders back and forth in a very angry and chaotic voice. You make sure that you go grab the other turret. Set up. No, don't touch that. That's very fragile. There are people on the other end of the store and someone's barking at us to somebody else. I'm not sure what they are by the voice. But if I'm able to charm them, then we might be able to move through this situation without any other violence. And what if you aren't able to chop them? Pretty sure we can take care of them. Maybe standing by, do your lovely little thing. Okay. Okay, yeah. I was just going to ask Dabby, are you okay with me standing five feet behind you or do you want me to stay back where I am? I can't decide what you do. Luna would be following Nathaniel's orders, that's why I'm asking. Nathaniel did not give orders to Luna. Okay, well then I'm being right here then because you are very squish. You do what you would like. Okay, so you guys are gonna go through. I will say Magnus will simply stay with an eye shot back here because I'm bad at running NPCs. And when you open the door, you see a large room full of four pools kind of lava with rather molten magma, molten iron, that are closed off by metal fences, gates, to stop you from falling in, as well as many, many pipes lining the walls and a bunch of spider mines patrolling the area. You also see that there are two oaken bolters kind of behind two of the pools of lava that seem to be automated. Oh no. They're running on their own. And you can see that this wall right here is some more frosted glass. And you can see behind it that there's a goblin that seems to be pushing a bunch of various different buttons on a mechanism that looks akin to the button that was controlling the modrons in the other room. I have a couple of questions. First, is this like a glass wall or is this just a weird thing in the... That is the glass wall. Yes, that entire wall at the bottom is a frosted glass wall. How thick is the glass? Well, you would have to take a closer look to find out. And then I assume this is the guy that sounds a little bit like Robby Rot and Bargay Mortar Southerby. Touch that. That's what I heard as soon as he said that. I'm like, oh, it's Stefan and Carl Stephenson. Have you ever seen automated guns before? Would you like to? Why did you put... I'm not gonna see it as anything else now, Davy Danvers. Sorry. I'm very good at calling things other things. It's like my main joke. So I will give you guys a chance to do one thing before we roll an initiative as he is still preparing for what it looks like. He's not taking his eyes off of his little mechanism and he's pushing buttons, rewiring things, barking orders to people in another room. Oh, I have the perfect answer to this. Do it. I would like to slip out of my yellow outfit and unhacked. And as I peel myself, I'm gonna take off the... I'm gonna take out the device. Like, because I took the device that controls all of the Modrens, right? And he has a very similar device. Yes. Now, here's why I wear the yellow outfit. It's so that if I take the yellow outfit off, there's suddenly no, like, description that people give outside of big yellow man. That's why I called you the banana man. You're in some basic garbs now. Yeah. My intention with this is I'm gonna try to do effectively the same thing that I did session one. So I'll give everybody else a chance to do whatever they would like but that is what I am preparing. I'm standing by. I'm just waiting for spring. I'm gonna rack a shot for that dude in case all things go to hell. And I am going to pray to God that this glass is not bulletproof. We'll have to see. Or resistant. That's it, bulletproof doesn't exist. Bullet-resistant. Arrow proof. I apologize. Yeah. Right. Now, as this goblin would say, here's a little lesson in trickery. Yes. What do you do? God damn it. I'm gonna take a few steps forward. Okay. And I'm going to have the object, the remote, to clearly in view. As I call out, your device isn't working because you haven't set it up properly. Hmm? Ooh, who said that? The twin tobaxis on the other end asked me to come over here and help you because they imagined that you would do something foolish. Ooh. The great Catholic would not do something foolish. Those tobaxi are the ones who are the fools. Yes, that's what I told them, but they wouldn't listen and I am not high enough ranking to out-vote them. The great Catholic does not recognize you. Who are you? He just like dresses his face up against the glass. You can see that he's got like large goggles. And you see his, you see his full face. Here, let me show you. Dear God. I love this man. Squished up against the glass. He's like, yeah, thanks for standing still. All right, understood. Okay, he fits all three things. He's a goblin, he has a name, and he has art. He has to be adopted. We have to. We must do it. We have to save him. Great Cac needs a friend. Yeah. Great Cac. Anyway. We're going to business together. So he presses his face up, just smushes it up against this pane of glass. And inwardly, Nathaniel thinks, well, this is easier than I thought it would be. And I'm going to glance down with my glasses. I'm going to look at him and I'm going to say, I'm a friend of yours. I'm here to help. Isn't that right? And then I'm going to cast suggestion. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Give me suggestion. Yeah. DC 15. Okay, you suggest a course of activity and magically influence. Okay, so what is the course of action you are suggesting? Perhaps I shouldn't suggest him. I will charm person. It's the same idea. It's just different spell and it's a little easier. He sees you as a friend. Yeah, effectively. Okay. No, so whether you're a computer or a computer. He is not fighting you, so okay. Yep, all right. And DC 15. Let's see. Okay. This is good. This is good. This is not good because he succeeded. No, this is good. No, this is good. No. Wait. But. I have to stab me a goblin. Can I ask? All right. How does he respond then? He responds. He's just looking. He's rubbing his face on the glass and you can hear like the squeaking. While he's trying to get a look at you. You were not in, you were not in the planning. I do not recognize you. Who are you really? And he presses a few beeps and boops on his machine. And the open bolters both aim at you. And these Spider-Man's kick stop moving and all kind of are waiting on standby. Wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm very scared. I am merely here as a follower of your own opulence. You must understand. I'm gonna take, I'm gonna try to take like just a little shimmy forward. Okay. My hands are up. I need a performance. Oh. Can it be deception? Or deception, you know what? Yeah, yeah, yeah, deception. I was gonna say to show that you, but yeah, deception works too. It's up to you. If it's performance, it's performance. I say either your choice, performance or deception. Well, I have a clear choice here. That was a two. God damn it. Fuck. Oh no. Hey, Joe, I know that we all had like our one thing we could do before this happened. Could my one thing have been preparing to run in in case it went bad? Yes. I'm gonna take your dice lock back. I'm gonna be clear. This is the point. It would be, it would go as bad because this was not enough. That's deception was not enough. And it would go bad. Do your one thing. I'd like to run into Shield Nathaniel then. I don't want Nathaniel to get stibby stabbed. I am irate. I cannot believe this. I, hmm. No, it's okay. Luna, take your dice lock back. I want it. I don't want this. I can't roll bad. Listen, you gave it to me last week. You have to take it back. No. This wasn't mine. Okay, so that fails, Enoch, you wanna fire? Yeah, fire. Okay. And I'm gonna make this a dead eye shot to make it advantage. All right, make it advantage and show me the attack. All right. I still have a plan. Oh my God. It's just, we're on the improvise section of the plan. Renee, what did you wanna do? Yes. I am going to cast Sleep first level, just directly aimed at this guy. Okay. But I'm gonna wait until everyone is taking their shots because I know that he's gonna take damage first. Right, oh boy. So let him take the damage and go ahead and do all that crazy shenanigans. And then I will- Okay, well, that will go off after Enoch's shot then. Yep, perfect. Love it. All right. Oh yeah. Okay, here we go. Wow. Okay, yeah, all right. There you go. So, let me just- Let me see the advantage in case you crit. Okay. Okay. You fire, let me see the damage. You fire the gavel, you aim right at the little goblin and you fire and it hits the glass and there's a large crack. The glass is still okay. The goblin jumps back as like the bullet completely lands like where his face was. He falls on his butt and he presses a button on the thing and Renee, right before he does, you're going to cast sleep. Yep, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep. Show me sleep. Make sure I'm casting it first level because I don't want to spend any more big old spells. There we go. Okay, roll the 5D8 for me. And then I roll 5D8. 18. 18 is not enough. Damn it. Oh, damn it. He falls on his butt, presses the button and all the spider mines light up and the Oaken Bolters aim at Nathaniel. Everyone roll for initiative. Okay. Oh, no. I'm in a good spot then. Okay. As he presses it, wait, no, you are handsome investigator protectors told me about. Handsome. I'm so tempted to look to Luna and say, you are? Oh, I've only Nathaniel or like this. Do it again. Oh, I'm sweating. Protect your ass too. Wait, what? I'm sweating just a little bit here. Wait, it didn't. Come on. Okay. I initially rolled a 20, but I'm assuming I'm at the top no matter what I do. I'm not sweating anymore. I'm happy. If you roll the natural 20, yes, you are. Let's see, okay. Well, I think it's he rolled a 20 first, like dirty 20. Yeah, it was a dirty 20. But I think it's he just rolled with the avatar. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Either way, what did you roll? 14, okay. I rolled a 14. Okay, so everyone goes before. Okay, dirty 20. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Okay, you know, you go first. You have damaged this thick window. All right. I'm gonna do it again. All right. I'm gonna do it again only this time. Hopefully, I don't need an advantage. 26. They're easy to hit this glass. And because you rolled so high, I'll say you hit it in a similar area as you first hit it, i.e. a weaker spot. And the cracks go even further. And this thing is getting close to being shattered, you can tell. All right, and then I point my corgi boy to three, four, five, six, to get right about here. Can I have him bark at this one? All right, show me the range attack. Okay, here we go. 15. 15, that's enough. And how much damage is it? All right. Three. Three. There's a sonic borf that goes off and hits this spider mine, and it explodes in a small area against nobody. That's what it does. That's adorable. Like because it didn't work last time, so Renee's pointing at the dog. That's what it does. Yeah, that's what it does. Yeah, Luna, your turn. Okay, so I have to do a series of events here. Going to take five steps forward and bonus action, Echo Dad. Echo Dad. Just right there. Okay. And I'm going to take my attacks from Echo Dad. Nice. So I'm going to move five feet back, back to covered Nathaniel. Don't worry about me. I won't worry about you when you're not in the middle of this. Give me five seconds. And Echo Dad's going to attack the glass and try to get to the gnome. Goblin. He is a goblin. Sorry, sorry, we fought a gnome last week. Listen, guys, it's been a day. Yeah, it has been. All right, show me Echo Dad's attack. Absolution. Okay, yes, 22 is enough and 10 shatters the glass. Hey! You can now walk through this area. Well, you're welcome. I'm not responding to that as I take another bash at the goblin. Non-lethal damage, of course. Okay, eight is not enough. The goblin just like quickly moves kind of rolling out of the way, you know, while he is just skittering. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah, no, that's my turn. I'm just going to keep Echo Dad there. Nathaniel. Oh, also one thing, Luna, since you moved out of the way of this pipe and then moved back in, that triggers the pipe. And the pipe- Oh no! The pipes are out! Pipes are out! Ba, ba, ba! Since this pipe spews out some hot steam, I'm going to need both Luna and Nathaniel who are caught in its conal area to make constitution saving throws. Ah, my good stat! No! Ah, my good stat! Oh, you're a good stat! Oh! Yeah, I'm a good stat. Oh, we're in a game! You guys are able to withstand the pressure and heat of the steam, so it does not affect you, luckily. Very glad I did this one. Okay, okay. All right. I'm sorry. Right, my turn. Mm-hmm. I will not shoot Luna a nasty glance because there's no way she could have known, but I will walk around her calmly, step over this- Wait, actually, how far was that? That was one, two, three, four, five. Yeah, that's fine. Yup, that is a pipe. This pipe right here? Yes, are you sure? Oh, in that case, I'm going to stand right here. I'm going to look at the goblin man and I am going to calmly say to him, in truth, I never was going to be helping you. The Tabaxi are both dead. There's nothing that can be done. You should surrender now, while you still can. And I cast Suggestion. Oh, fuck. Okay. Yes! Yes, sir! Now please fail. Now the goal is to roll lower than a 15. That's like- The goal is to be suggested. Yeah, that's peak. You don't want to roll higher than that. It's like when you play 21 pickup or whatever, you know, you don't want, I don't know. He does not take to failure very happily, although he is not saddened by his hearing about his companions losing their lives. He's just like, what? Those Tabaxi, the great Ketrig is very unhappy. What is? And he fails. So he surrenders, yes. Yes. Does he disable his dudes? He puts the mechanism down. Those stupid mage hags, the great Ketrig told them not to hire them. Ugh, stupid job. He just sits down and crosses his arms. The great Ketrig knew not to take this job. I'm gonna wander over. I'm gonna stand, step over the broken glass daintily. I'm gonna gently pick up the machine and I will put a hand on Ketrig's shoulder because I am his friend. That said, unless I am also allowed to like turn off all of these machines, which I feel like would be too much for my turn to do. Oh shit, we're still in combat. Yeah, you're still in combat. It's technically not over. So like, I'm not gonna automatically turn them off unless I can, but if that would be too many things to do on my turn then. I would say yeah, that takes a full action to do. Totally. Well, my hand is on his shoulder. We are friends. I am a friend to this man. Okay. That's all I want to be. That's my turn, I can't do this. Renee, your turn. Well, from what I can see and hear-ish, it sounds like there was a little bit of chaos and now it's kind of like calmed down a little bit. So I am gonna like make my way inside, but not before picking up Nathaniel's clothes and making sure they're not on the ground because that's gross. I'm just gonna keep those on me. Yep, good, good. Yep, you shouldn't have to put them on the ground. I'm just gonna hold on to them and come in the room. Okay. Yep, yep, yep. You don't have to move, you know? Yeah, I probably am not gonna put them on. So Renee's just gonna kind of like chill out right over here and like be holding on to the clothes and just observing. I am actually like probably gonna toss my clothes like sort of like all around me, if that makes sense. Like on my shoulder or something it's just to make sure that it doesn't get on the ground but I'm gonna get my crossbow ready. Okay. Trust it. Nah, I would trust it, just kidding. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I mean if you want to we can consider it a held action but like I wouldn't think that Renee would be thinking that so I'll just say that she comes in the room, so. Okay, just there then? Thumbs up, just there. Yeah, just hanging out. Okay, at seeing you subdue Enoch you can hear just Magnus just observing and you can see that he's taking notes as well and a little notebook, fascinating. Observing Nathaniel. And while this is going on and Nathaniel you're in that room you can hear a voice from this room in this direction kind of coming by, hey boss all the mechs got activated did you, and you can see that there's a tiefling that walks in, one that you do not recognize but it's very much dressed like the protectors and he sees you as well as kind of seeing Luna and Renee behind the glass and goes oh shit and he starts to run back into the room. Oh no. Well, fuck. Next, Enoch's turn. Unless, now, since he's in another room they're not gonna come back in here. Would you guys like to, actually I'm gonna end an issue for that. I'm going to try to chase after this guy. Yeah, we're gonna be chasing now. So, we're still tankly at combat it's just that Kettrick would not be there anymore it would be tiefling instead. The great goblin, he's done. Yep, yep. Yeah, no, I would also like to go after this guy so if we could stay in initiative for that. Yeah, Enoch's turn then. I have a moral problem right now. Oh God, and it can't be immediately justified. Okay, I am going to. I have a feeling that I know, but I hope you can trust me, you'll get your chance. All right, that's fine. Full action dash to get to the other side of the rooms. Okay, okay. Three, four, five, six. I can get up to Luna with my full, with my full movement. And to Sankuro and to put him right behind good old Echo Dad and that's as far as, oh no wait, no, his dash. Oh sweet. Yeah, his dash. You wanna know what? No, he's supposed to be sticking next to Nathaniel for a reason, so I'll stop him at Nathaniel and pretty much stick by and that's pretty much it. That's gonna be it for my action. All right, next is Luna. It's Ghost of Yessel time, I'm gonna bonus action, change places with Echo Dad. Okay. And then I'm going to use the rest of my movement and my dash to bolt down that hallway and end up here. Okay, yes, is that all of your movement to reach there? Okay, there I would say you'll be able to see this in the room, you can see that there's a tiefling, a red dragonborn and an automated oaken bolter in that room as well as a kind of lava molten pool, however there are greats of a different make from the other one in the other room. No trust, no trust this, I know trust this. That's a problem. You can see that the dragonborn and the tiefling are confidently standing on them as well. Okay, yeah, oh yeah Echo Dad dissipates as he's out of my range, so let me delete him and that is my turn, action bonus action, yeah, I'm good. I have an 8D chess play. All right. Show me your 8D chess play. I am going to, I'm going to calmly like nod to Kettrick and say, I will be right back. Stay here, don't worry. And then I'm going to walk over here. I'll see all of these problems. And I will say to these people very calmly, you are the last two people inside of this facility. There are four of us and any one of us could take out all of you. You should surrender now while you have the chance. I'm not going to charm them. I just want to see the reaction. Just wanted to say that, okay. You can, well, that's not my, that's not my action. I just want to see what their reactions would be. You can give me an intimidation for that. Okay. You were the only two alive. And just to accentuate that, I'm then going to take the remote that I have from Kettrick, look at these mines and arm them. And I would like to walk them a little bit closer towards those two. I don't know if they walk on their own normally, but. Yes. I'll say they do walk close. You just want them to get close? Yeah. I don't want them to immediately jump on the two, but I also don't want them to, I want them to be threatening, but not deadly. You can see, give me that intimidation by the way. All right. Oh. Shit. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. What? You did just three bombs towards these people. You did just literally walk three explosives towards these minefields. I wish it could be. But I'm so bad to make this out of the fact that they would make. The thing is, he's not wearing his like banana gear either. He's just like straight up like regular garb too. So he's just a really terrifying man. He just like walks up, starts making these robots over, dot mp3 fart sound effect as it echoes through the room. You see the tiefling and dragonborn look at each other, the dragonborn. She's like, this is just one of his tricks. Don't fall for it. And the tiefling's like, do you want to take that chance? And she looks at the mines and she just, she drops her crossbow and so does the tiefling. They're pacified. Oh, that's beautiful. Well done. For now, I will say with that initiative is over for now. Yay! As there is a door here. Okay, does anybody have any objections to me going in and tying these bastards up? I was just about to suggest that. Yeah, no, please set them up. Yep, yep. All right, on your knees, hands behind your back. Both of you. They handily just let you put them in kind of wrapped up and they're like, what happened to catch rig? It was supposed to guard the entrance. Stupid green skin. Dang. Offensive. That... Murders one thing, but racism. Can I like, but I don't want to do this to like legitimately cause damage. Can I just like smack the one who said that? Like that's racist. Okay. Yep, that was the dragonborn and you smacker. She's like, ow, sorry, sorry, geez. You know, you may be a low-life salesor doing absolutely terrible work, but we expect at least some level of humanity from people. Come on. The tiefling just looks at her. Yeah, too, messed up. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. As Nathaniel does walk back to this room as I'm climbing over the window, I kind of stop him just to kind of look him in the eye. I need to tell you something, like the truth. Oh, have you not been telling me the truth? Well, I've always been telling you the truth. You know that. Right, so what is it now? It's about Magnus. Yes, your tree friend. Associate. What about him? When I met him, he told me something that I don't want to believe, but I kind of figure it might be what you are. And I also am a little curious about his dubious intentions. You're going to need to be more specific. What he is is really fucking vague. Magnus told me something that I can't completely disbelieve, but cannot completely believe that you are, and if I'm saying this correctly, reforming necromancers. I'm going to look over to Renee for a moment. And I'm going to look back to you. And if for some reason such a slanderous thing would want to be made true, what would you do then? I would commit myself to continuing the path in which I've set for myself. As you say this, Enoch, you feel a very slight sharp pain in your head and you can hear the voice of altar screaming in agony. If what you're doing is right and I believe that it's right and I have been wrong for so long, I need to know. I want to see the results. You have. You've done something now that you haven't done for me before. You've told me the truth before, yes, but never when it was difficult. That will be repaid when this is over. Well, this and I have one more to this. I have one more truth. Before you do that, you want to get rid of your little earworm, you know, the sitting right next to you, just kind of believe he won't be. He won't be telling anybody anything. OK, he's fine. He's folding his arms and he's just like, the great Kettering is too upset for your petty squabbles. I appreciate you. So I continue. Thank you, Kettering. You're actually pretty cool if you think about it. It's just his name. Yep. But was this the other thing? Magnus told me he was a protector. No, he didn't. Did he? No, he said he's not. I thought he did. No, he said he was part of the protectors. No, he said he's not. No, that was he deliberately when you when you pulled the gun on him, when he deliberately said that to dissuade you. I thought he that's the reason why I pulled the gun on him was because of the the protectors. No, you you pulled the gun on him as soon as he walked in and asked, are you, you know, I re I rewatched the session. That is what happened. I remember so fucking clearly that he said, nope, he's having out in the comments chat. Did Enoch pull a gun on a random person? He's not a protector. Yeah. All right. So all right. So he's yeah, right. Why am I still remembering that he's tell me in any in any case, bringing it back. Nathaniel mentions when this is all over and I motion towards all of this. I will repay your truth with the truth of my own. You don't have to do that. I know, but you didn't have to tell me anything. Magnus is dangerous. He is trying to hurt you. I don't know what for or for what reason might be attached to all of this and might be attached to none of this. I just just tell me you're doing the right thing. Enoch, there has never been a moment or even if I had to make a difficult choice that I was not doing the right thing. I extend out my real hand. Then I trust you. And I am going to take it and I will say good because we are going to need it. Enoch, give yourself an inspiration for that. You guys are in the head to get along. We just have to put a life-threatening situation in front of you. I mean, it was going to be a life-threatening situation. If you two didn't get your shit together soon. True. I'm thinking fucking Lynn and Renee. We're going to lose their shit. Yeah, I've been trying to find the time to to do this. But like, it's now that he has to stay here. I'm just it's got to be done. It's got to be done. I have to say something that is. That was a very tough part. Tough thing to do. And yeah, I think that's worth an inspiration. You know, while this is happening, it doesn't. He doesn't hear. He's not within earshot of this, but you can see that Magnus is slowly taking in this entire place and just looking at all the minds. Well, you took quick work of these. Well, he is a professional and they were like hand at Daniel's clothes. I'm going to take them and I'll say we are professionals. And if you would like to be a professional for all of two minutes, I'd like you to come over here and watch Ketrich for us while we go into a more dangerous part of the facility. Very well, as you wish. He comes by and keeps watch on sheets of sword at the ready. Speaking of looking at the more dangerous ways ahead, I was hoping I could maybe stealth around and check around this corner while they were having their heart to heart. I just didn't want to. I didn't want to interrupt the sea. Oh, totally. That is totally fine. Valid in there. You're able to see what looks to be a connecting room. And behind it is in there is a large door that leads to a larger room and behind the frosted glass. It's hard to see, but I would say looking through the glass, you can make out that there are four humanoids in there with one large something, one large like silhouette of something, some amalgamation of shapes and parts kind of in the back of the room, as well as a bunch of other small things on the floor. Four humanoids, more dim, glowing orange and yeah, one large thing. Are any of them moving? You can see that the four humanoids are moving around. They're shuffling about. Some are kind of going to each other. It looks like they're talking with each other in hushed whispers that you can't hear. A few of them just it seems like they're waiting for something. OK, then yeah, I just want to sit here and wait for everybody because when I see people come in, I'll kind of give a motion to be quiet and that and relay the information that there are these individuals. As I leave, I'm going to control the spider bots in this room so that they surround Ketrig just as a precaution because if we get into a fight, I might have to drop suggestion and it's a concentration. So I want to make sure that he doesn't go anywhere. Yeah, as much as I respect the danger of the tree man, I don't think he's going to stop an angry goblin from doing what goblins ought to do. I mean, you're taking the mechanism from him, right? Oh, yeah, that's how I'm controlling the minds. Yeah, this is mine. He doesn't control these guys at all. He's just a goblin. I was just making sure that we weren't leaving it with him in case you did drop your suggestion. But yeah, but goblins still have like teeth. Yeah, I wanted to ask and see if Ketrig had a key. A key, some keys. Yeah, some keys because of the last room. Yeah, I know that we see. I know that we see a big, beautiful lock over here. Yeah, there's a big lock. So asking Ketrig for any locks for that door, he responds. Yeah, which Ketrig did pre-war parts or first engineering difficult too many variants, not enough uniformity who thought such molds were such a good idea. Ketrig frustrated gave up. That's fair. OK, like old old. Well, that was a sentence. Yeah. Ain't no time. No, this is the reason why I like goblins. They're very creative with their words. Come on, Coro. But, yes, you may attempt to pick this lock as well. It is are you feeling bold there? Do you want to do something else in the other room? As I look at the lock, Luna, move this out of the way. What would you like to pick the lock? Now you have my tools. Go for it. Come on, round two. You know what? It's time to really stand up for yourself. Oh, you know what? I'm going to reach my hand out. I'm going to reach into Enoch's mind a little bit, and I'm going to impart upon him my knowledge of picking locks as I as I bardic charm an inspiration onto him. Oh, God, inspiration. Yeah, that's if you actually want to use that for a change of that. Pick locks. Yeah. All right. I mean, pull out the tools. Good luck. I'm going to I'm going to use the initial inspiration I got in the conversation with the panel. And then what's the role for bardic inspiration? I think a D8 right now. Yeah, it's a D8 now. We're level six should be a D8. Oh, yeah. OK. So you have to do it at a hand. OK, 10. OK. There's OK. It's the advantage. So you're immediately you're going to immediately spend your inspiration. Then I would say I would say roll the bardic inspiration first to see how much it is because maybe an 18 is enough if you roll an 18, you know, go as high as you can. All right. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. 22. You just want to spend your inspiration immediately. That's fair. Yeah. Yeah, it works. So that will be a 22. OK, yes. With a 22, you pick the lock and it drops down and you can see after you pick it, you see the mechanism that it's attached and it's wired to what looks to be a light in the top of the room. This thing was rigged to set off an alarm of some kind. Oh, however, you have disabled it. Congratulations. You've opened the door and you have two chests of loot. Oh, you just hear a slow clap from across the ring. Renee, we're going in just look, Luna, I did it. Yes, wonderful. Is there anything else you'd like to say? Oh, no, you're just going to run in there? All right, that's fine. I'll be very upset if you pull this shit on me again. What? I mean, this place has been shut down and abandoned for 80 years. What could these chests possibly be? Wait, wait, hold on. Before you open them, I just let me go to the idiot. No, give Enoch his space. Let him be his thing. Let him be an idiot by himself. Alive, right? As much as, you know, I would love to leave him to get his ass kicked. He need him alive. I mean, that was a little bit of a merit. I promise. He's an angel. If he dies, God will send him back down. I'm an angel, too. And that's not how that works. I don't have you died before. OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK. Fear the moment I die because we still have another problem with that. OK, OK, with that, though, yeah, let's go. Open chest. Let's open the chest. Do you want which one do you want to do? Top or bottom? She'll just tap this one. OK, then I'll do the bottom. All right. Oh, no, no, I'm hoping you're you're doing it. She's just covering you. It's got both her swords out and she's ready to basically back away anything that might try to eat you. OK, I'm going to have Kuro set in the corner just in case he needs to bark. All right, I open the top one. You open the top one and inside you can see that there is a potion of mana in there. Oh, that will cover one first level spell slot and you also see that there is something that looks akin to a sword hilt made of machine and various gears and a very metal handle of some kind of just the hilt for some reason. OK, I will take both and you can see that on the hilt of the sword, there is some kind of button like two button system that requires you to grip it tightly and pull kind of like a trigger system. It's a lightsaber. Oh crap, lightsaber. I'll I'll look at that in a in a few minutes. And then you want to know what I'll hold on to the to the potion. I might pass that over to Nathaniel because he's going to be using spells more than me. And then I will go ahead and carefully open the bottom. You open your chest and inside you can see that there are two more wrenches similar to the ones that you found earlier. OK, OK, and a pair of very sturdy looking like old dusty boots, very ornate and designed very similarly to the rest of the factory. Interesting, very interesting indeed. Well, I didn't explode in your face. I'm going to start leaving. All right, thank you. Very, very. This is a small thing, but it's just for my own comfort. I'd like to take these two hostages. I mean, prison. I'd like to take these two friends and nudge them just five feet to the to the right. Just as a sort of if, you know, just as a sort of while they're sitting there, if they happen to list over, they'll, you know, right? Look at the lava. All right, of course. And I'm going to say now I would like you to just stay here and think about what you've done. They just look at each other and you can see that Tiefling just looks at the Red Dragonborn and he just kind of gives her a look. Yeah, maybe some of us could use a little bit more tolerance. OK, I walk over to Nathaniel. All right, so I found something really cool. I think it would be useful to you as I pull up the potion of mana. I will take it and I'll look to Renee. How are you on spells? I'm doing all right. In terms of my lower spells, I'm fine. It would be the other ones. I'm a little bit more concerned about, but I should be fine for now. Well, my lower ones are running out a bit. I'll hold on to this. And then if you need it, I'll throw it to you. That sounds like a plan to me. All right. Good to always have this kind of stuff. I'm also going to jump around in the bag. Like I have been reminded that I have a thing of oil of slipperiness. You do? Yeah, I got that from the shopping spree. I've also been reminded that I have a healing potion of greater size. Yes, I'm going to add that to my inventory because I never wrote it down unless that is something that I should not have. I'm announcing it now. No, I gave it to you so you could add it to your inventory. OK, healing potion. I specifically went on that shopping spree to get one thing for everybody. Greater healing potion. What? Oh, I appreciate it. So I'm going to hand that that vial of oil of slipperiness to Kuro to carry. Can homunculi carry items? I imagine he could carry something in his mouth just in case. Yeah, I say simple task. You can do simple task like hold nine. Yeah. So yeah, he's he's going to he's just going to hold the the vial of oil of slipperiness because I have an idea. OK, awesome. We'll see what happens. Also, one thing that I will say, since you guys were able to enter this room out of combat, you would know that these greats are very, very hot and standing on them for too long would deal damage to you. However, since you're out of since you're out of combat, I would say that you guys would have naturally just like felt that and like avoided them. But now you know what they do. OK, OK. So, oh, wait. I mean, maybe maybe I should take these guys off of the fucking greats. They were basically grilled. Yeah, let's put them there. They're toasty. Yeah, let's put them let's put them like here and here. And then the mines can be there and there. So they cut off the exits. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is why deliberately they were chosen for this task as they are both resistant to fire. Yeah, I would say it made sense that it was a T-fling and a dragonbark. Smart! What exactly is over here, Luna? There's a door, there's... How was it? Four individuals I could see moving around, chaffeling, talking? Yep, yep. It's four people talking, a large thing too, doesn't seem to be moving. I didn't want to get too close in case I alerted them. I'm not exactly the lightest foot person here. No, I'm very glad you didn't. Do you guys want to say maybe just do what you were doing before? It seems like it's worked so far. Yes, yes. I'll be ready to come in and knock people out if I need to, but I'll let you mostly do your job. No good at it. All right, Nathaniel, you, me, both, what's the plan? I would like to try out an idea that I've had for a while. Oh, all right. If you would like to come, you may, because it's going to result in a fight. Ah, yeah, no, I'm going to go with you. All right. What are you doing? I'm just sorry now. I am going to start a fight. Try not to get too close and I'll keep you covered then. Thank you very much. All right, this is going to be interesting. Okay, I should probably bring this back. I'd like to just say Echo Dads out already. I'm just going to, Dad, we're about to get into a fight. We're going to get into a fight. Call my dad. I'm going to rack a shot and then I'm going to have, I'm going to have Kuro just stay out of line of sight for the sake of- This is going to be very funny. Please, just like before, each of you will have one thing that you can do before combat starts, if combat starts. Fabulous. I want to see what Nathaniel's about to do. I'm ready to start a fight. Nathaniel, I'll say you have this much space to move before you do your thing, i.e. these four spaces above. So I'm going to hold my hands up. I'm going to hold my hands up in front of me, like above me, as if surrender. I'm going to step here. Do I see anybody? Yes. Okay, I'll reveal the rest of the room. Yeah. Since you open the double doors and you can see that there is a lot of things for, there's another crystal very similar to the one in the Tabaxes room, a bunch of pipes, some spider mines and four humanoids, a tiefling, a human, a half-elf and an orc, as well as a warforge, a large looking warforge at the end, hooked up with wires that was leading from the other room. You do not want that to turn on. That's the same thing in the other room. All right. I, what I am going to do is not immediately like aggressive, but it is only for aggressive purposes. So I feel like if I do it, we should roll initiative, and then like when it gets to my turn, it'll happen. But, so I'm going to walk into the room. I'm going to like hold my hands up. I'm going to say, I surrender. Okay. I'm waiting for a response, waiting for a response. What this, what would happen when you do this? And you know, I assume your action is locked in that that is what you're going to do. Well, my action is the thing. So I'm trying to like hold off for suspense reasons, but I will be casting a spell. Okay. Is the idea. Hold up and surrender. Okay. Then I'm going to go ahead and say roll initiative now. Yeah. Because when you do that, something very specific will happen. Yeah, like Renee is very thrown off by that. And I can tell because it's her initiative. That's too rough. What is Shelby trying to say? She's been trying to say a thing. I was trying to see if I could fix my positioning. Because I would have wanted to get in the next one. Yeah, fix your position before you roll initiative. Yeah. Yeah, I just want to be here. I'm just trying to make sure that I am five feet within Nathaniel and anything that might smack Nathaniel. That's, that's damn it. Why are you always before me? So here's the thing. I roll the one. And unfortunately we're still attached to Kuro. I apologize. So you are the four. I am a four, right? Okay. Now you will be going last because you rolled a net one. Because that is how we're going to do it. So I'm just going to roll one. I am the duality of man. How did I get the highest initiative? What the fuck happened here? Well, because what I like to think in character is that like hearing Nathaniel just go up and be like, I have a plan. I surrender. Renee's just like, what? Why are you acting like that is true? Three of us collectively go, what? At what point have I told the truth to people that I intend to beat up? No, the thing is just like, and she always catches her off guard, I feel like, because she doesn't like hearing. Yeah, she hates this plan. That's why she... That's a fair. It's probably because he said it a couple of times. So she's just like, oh, fuck not this one. This is a new idea. This is something I haven't gotten a chance to do before. It's like, it's like... Oh, okay. Then I definitely have not like... It's like, get health. It's like, I was going to say it's like, get health. Oh, you love getting health. I hate it. It's awful. I don't like it. It stresses me the fuck out. All right. But not like that. She's stressed out now. Also, now this would have been a thing, but this up here, this darkened thing, this would have been wall that the spider mines can climb on. So right here, this is a wall. You walk in with your hands up, I surrender, and it causes the protectors to hesitate. We have rolling initiative. Luna, you're up first. You go for the crystal as soon as you can, but give me just a moment. I'll go for the crystal. She'll nod. And I think what Luna will do is... I'm not going to stow my swords. No, because I think I need my sword to do what I want to do in case... Let me check them. I'm so sorry. I should have checked this before. I'm just checking the wording and something real quick. Yeah, I don't have another simple weapon. I will lower them though, and I will put... I'll put retribution away. Absolution is the one I've oiled. And I would more or less like to hold my action until something comes closer to me or until Nathaniel gives me a signal. Okay, and what will that held action be? To bap anything close to me if it's close or protect him. Okay. I'm basically waiting to either bap something or produce some damage on him. All right. Yeah, all right. Nathaniel. What is it? Well, that's not going to be necessary because hands up, I said I surrender. Do they respond in any way? They, let's see. You can give me a deception. This is... With disadvantage this time. They can see that you've gotten past things and they are like the two in the back are holding crossbows aimed at you. Yeah, amazing that this is so much better than my normal role. It's cause you're keeping your cool now. I did not even mean to lie. That is a... Plus 10. It is because I have a plus four. Okay, I was curious what the 20 role was. That is an 18. Yeah, it is because I have a plus four in charisma and then I have two plus threes in deception because of the fact that I have expertise in it. I'm very good at lying to people. I was so excited for all. I was like, man, they're going to fight. They're going to have cool combat stuff. No, let's just... Okay. I'm so sorry. They believe you. They believe you surrendered. Good. And you can see that they're getting ready to go capture you. Good. And then I'm going to say, but I'm not quite sure that he does. And I point at this guy in the back and I cast enemies abound. So, so he's got to make an intelligent save. And if he does not succeed, then he will flip out and start attacking whatever's closest to him. Oh, shit. Wow. And then every time he takes dam... Yep. Every time he takes damage, then he will repeat the saving throw. But the point is just to kind of cause mayhem. And then, yeah, right, right. It must choose the target at random among... Okay, I'm going to need to roll a bunch of different dice for this. Well, it is if all of the enemies are equally close to him, I believe it is. Okay, so otherwise he... Does he attack the nearest? From among the creatures he can see within range of the attack spell or other ability that he's using. So like, if... I guess it's sort of like, if he's using a ranged weapon, then he rolls at random based off of all of the people that he can choose Yeah, that's what I meant. He's going to have to choose among the different people he can see, the different targets. Yeah. But if he's got like a weapon, like a normal stick or something, then he can only choose people that are immediately around him. Right. He does have a ranged weapon, but these two in the back both have crossbows. They have heavy crossbows. And he... Oh. Yep. He is going to take aim at one of the spider mines. Oh no. Amazing. And then... And then after pointing at him, I push my hands forward as pink lines of light shoot out, connect with all my friends and that you feel the... In your mind, an alacrity pushing you into the room. You don't have to use the room or you don't have to go into the room, but I am activating my Mantle of Inspiration, which at this point we all understand. But I will explain Mantle of Inspiration once more because it is a meme. You can now move up to your speed as a reaction and you also gain eight, I believe. Yes, eight temporary hit points. And do not provoke attacks of opportunity, yeah? And you do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you do so. As you all move forward, I move back. Goodbye. I'll take your spot then. I need to delete Echo Dash because he's gone. I'm going to stand right back here. I'm going to look over to the Dragonborn right there and give them a nod, like a knowing nod of, yes, this is normal. And then I end my turn. That suits him. Yes, so that is exactly what you do. Well done. Goodbye. Good job. And you can see everyone burst into the room and the hesitant protectors are just shouting, it's a trick! And yep. It's a trap. On the protectors' turn. Why are you saying that I'm not a little too late? On the protectors' turn, you can see that the elf, she tried to take a swing at your Renee as you run past, but she misses. The orc. So, well, that was on your turn that she tried to take an attack of opportunity. Instead, she's going to walk up here and then she's going to try and strike you with her sword. That's okay. Yes, and she does. She takes a strike at you, kind of cuts you across the arm. That's okay. And you will take four slashing damage. That's okay. That's in my strategy. This human is going to target random, one of the spider mines, and fires at this one. And it explodes. And the tiefling just goes, what the hell's are you doing? And is going to disengage from you, Luna. He can't. Oh, because you have sentinel. Sentinel! Yes, so I'd like to take a bath, please. All right, if you hit, you will not be moving. I don't want to fuck with these NPCs too hard, but they wouldn't know that she has sentinel. Right, so they would still try to disengage. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. He's trying to disengage regardless. It didn't work anyway. Yeah, but yeah, that does not hit. He moves away, kind of near this way by the spider mine, and he is going to take a shot at you, Luna. My AC is 16 right now, because I do not have, I don't have retribution out. I very specifically put it away. That will be enough in that case. And you also take four damage, as a bolt goes, just whizzes past you as you, kind of, it hits you. Ow, fuck. Well, actually, no, they didn't hurt at all. That was temp HP. Thanks, Daniel. Thanks, a dead one. And welcome. The orc is going to try and stomp on Kuro. She... No, you dare. What is Kuro's AC? Kuro's AC, I believe, is 13. 13, that is enough, unfortunately. She stomps on it. I don't imagine Kuro has that much health. Is four damage enough? No, actually, he has one more. Yeah, you just hear a little clang, as she stomps on this little robo dog, but it's not enough. Who just touched the boy? Who just touched the boy? I think that's all that's happening. I see this happening in my eyeballs. Question time. Is this friendly, considered friendly, because Daniel has the button? It is considered a neutral just entity. Can I walk through it then? Yeah, probably. Cool. So I am going to disengage from the elf so that I then move this way. So that is 10 feet that way. Then I'm going to go another 10 feet, 5, 10 over that way, which is another 20 feet. And then I'm going to go 5, 10 over this way. Wow. So I'm going to go over here. Just so I can explain how mechanically these work, and I don't feel bad explaining this, because it's just... Yeah. I would say you guys learn it naturally from standing on them before. Now standing on them on their own does not deal any damage. However, if you stay on there for on the same spot for an entire turn, then you will take damage. Cool. Because it's like standing on a hot spot for a long time. Would it be considered since... Oh, I don't know. Okay. It would have been on my next turn that I would have started taking damage then. If you had stayed in the same spot. Okay. Cool. Okay. Well, I'm over here by the crystal now. Yes, you are. That's all you're going to do? Um, let me look at my bonus action. No, because Mai Chen wouldn't do... Well, actually, what is this crystal being held up by again? It is levitating on its own above a sort of mechanism that seems to have a spherical, like, indent where the Warfort Soul would go in. I disengaged. So that is not... Ah, damn it. Um, the Mai Chen wouldn't work because that's an action. So, damn it. I don't have any bonus action shenanigans that I could do other than inspiration, but I'm going to save that in case we need it. Because I've used two of mine already. So... All right, next is Kuro's turn. Yeah, that's my turn. Well, me and Kuro move at the same time. That's the reason why I said we're both on one. Oh, okay, gotcha, gotcha. Okay. Yeah. Well, I'll just get with Kuro on there. Yep. All right. So, I look up to... This half work, and I say, how dare you? You ever heard of the legend of John Wick and I pull up the gun and I... God. Take a fire dead shot with advantage. How dare he? How dare you introduce John Wick into this universe? All right, show me the gavel. I can't believe John Wick is canon. Oh, yes, that's enough. He was a fire genasi. That's why they called him John Wick. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Speaking of fire genasis, the gavel. The gavel, yes. You fire at the orc, and, yes, that does hit. You can see that she's try... You know, you hit her kind of in the shoulder, knocking off a piece of plate. That was a decent amount of damage. Kuro, now. Bark! Bark! Bark! I see the bark. Bark! Bark! Bark! I love how we churned force strike into bark. That's all I am. Bark, oh, my God! Hey, bark is enough. You... Morph hurt. Kuro barks. Let's see how hard it barks. Oh, my God. Max damage, Bark! Kuro barks, and the... The... Just force... Just... Ripples through the orc, and she seems a little worse for wear. Well done. All right, and then... Oh, God. That's all I can really do right now. Not going to move at all. See. I could move closer to Kuro. Let me double check and see how long it takes. Damn it. I can't. I'll have to probably wait. Okay. Yeah, I can't use mending. It takes a minute. So... Okay. Do you want to go back to the original spot? You can. Just like reverse what you did. Yep. Just walk quietly back into the darkness. Uh, Luna. Yeah, I see where Mene's got the crystal covered, so I'm just going to cover her. I know this will hurt me. I don't think Luna cares. It will not hurt unless you stay on the surface that you started with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will be staying there. I just do not think Luna cares about a teeny bit of fire. I think she's a little tougher than that as I want to map the shit out of this tiefling, please. No, yeah, you won't take damage from this. Oh, no. You have to stay on the same panel that you started your turn on to take damage. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, so like if it gets back to your turn and you are there, then it gets great. I mean, again, it's fine. I'm just trying to cover you so that you do not get crossbow bolted. I appreciate you. Yes, you have a beautiful board getting crossbow bolted, man. So, absolution one. Nice. Yes, that's enough. The oil affinity is... The old range characters are like... Wait, wait. Oh, damn it. No, that doesn't go. I was about to say my oil affinity... This is the bladite oiled, so my crit range is increased on this. Ah, what is this? This is a... It's not... It's a 13. 13, gotcha. Yeah, I crit on an 18 through Tony, I believe, according to the... Gotcha. Okay. Yes, okay. Yes, you take a slash. The second slash, unfortunately, does not connect as he is able to hold up, is crossbow to... And you just kind of dig into the wooden grain. Bit. I've used my bonus action, right? I don't think you have. You want to bring out Echo Dad? I wanted to know if drawing my other sword was a bonus action. I don't do this a lot. Wait, no, I have the... Two of them... I've... No, drawing and stowing is in one motion, I think, because of my feet. Yay! So, I guess for Al to say my bonus action is pulling out my second sword to up my AC. Okay, yes. All right, now your AC 17. Yup, and that'll do it for now. Let Echo Dad have a break. I might be able to do this without him. Nathaniel, you can hear clanging, booming, and banging from the other room. You can see that the commotion... You have definitely caused a commotion. In that case, I'm going to... One, two, three, four. I'm going to look around. I'm going to see that this man exists and doesn't look like he's dying yet. That's weird. They stepped on my dog. Who did? This guy. The green one. The green one! What did we just say? I lean my head to the side, and does the dog look hurt? Yes, you can see that it's like... You can see sparks coming out of it. Some of its pieces are malformed. Oh, no! I'm going to mind sliver this man. Even Nathaniel has heart for the fucking Corgi. We all have standards. Yes, we do. We have standards in this house. Yeah, that mind sliver goes through. These guys are not great at their saving throws. Yes. You can see that the orc she flinches a bit and looks at you. She's a little curbed. Take a step to the side. All right. Well, that's me. I did my big thing. I'm going to save my spell slots for when I need them. Goodbye. Yeah, you're good at this. Have fun. Y'all have fun. Goodbye. Next are the protectors' turns. This protector, she's noticing... She's going to move around Kuro. Wait, what's this? And she notices that you guys are ganging up on her, and she's going to cast Burning Hands. I need both of you to make a dexterity saving throw. Whoa, there! Slow down, Marie. I don't know that might succeed. Is that not... He was in here raving. Okay. All right. So, Enoch, you take 15 fire damage, and Nathaniel, you take seven. I'm going to like, as I see the flames come out, I'm going to press my back up against Enoch so that he takes most of it. I'm very glad that we're friends now. Yep, yep. Nope, I got it. That said, I take seven, you said? Yep. I do need to make a concentration save to see if this guy continues to be completely insane, which he is. Yeah, you're fine. And I take seven. That is... That leaves me with one temporary hit point left. I'm happy. Yay! And this one is going to get in close and try and take a swing at you as well. Enoch with a melee, so... Oh, god. Do I need to go help the boys out? You might need to go help the boys. I'll be fine on my own. Luckily, she rolls low. You're able to dodge out of the way. Okay. This guy is going to try and disengage once again. Would you like to take an attack of opportunity with him? Yes, yes I would. Show me. Bap! 19. 19 hits. He has stopped in his tracks as he tries to move out of the way and you cut him kind of in his tendon in the back of his leg and he trips. You know, it's true to keep running away from a lady. And he is going to try and shoot a point blank, which is going to mean disadvantage on his shot. Disadvantage was not enough. He shoots a point blank. And you take... You take eight piercing damage as he fires a blow and it just lodges straight into your leg. Okay, so... Cool. Now the human is a bit crazy. Who does he target this turn? Wheel of Crossbow. And he's going to fire at the orc. Yay! Yay! Okay, he fires at the orc and it just pings off her armor. Ping! She just turns back to him. What the hell's are you doing? I like the idea that the way that I charm them is I raise their fight or flight response. So everything just is perceived as a threat. Yeah, everything. And regardless of whether they would normally run away, in this case, they are not only filled with a lot of paranoia, but they're also filled with a lot of confidence. Like, yeah, they can take it on. Yeah, it's the confidence of someone who just got spooked in like a haunted mansion and goes to punch the monster. Exactly. Anyway, Renee, yeah, you go next to the crystal. Grab crystal. It's mine. You go to grab crystal. I need you to make a constitution saving throw. Oh, fuck. Oh no. That's not good. Oh no, I should have been closer. Oh, I'm okay. Okay, you're fine. So you see as you reach for the crystal, you can see that there is a round magical sigil that appears before you're able to touch it and it hits your hand. It tries to push you away, but you're able to hold your ground from the force. However, you do take nine-fourth damage. Okay. So one, two, three, four, and then five, six, seven, eight, nine. Okay. I'm okay. Um, yeah, no, that hurt. I'm still going to yank it. You're gonna go, so I'm gonna say that that is, I'll say that's your bonus action to grab it. Yeah. If you would like to spend your action to grab it again, I can have you do another constitution saving throw. Oh, okay. So it blocked your hand. It stopped your hand from reaching the crystal. I should have specified. Okay, okay, sorry. I just thought it was a one-time thing. No, no, no, I appreciate you specifying for me. There's some kind of magical barrier or ward around this. Did I see where that sigil was? It was right where you're, as you went to reach for your hand, but when you saw, when this magical energy rippled around, you can see that the thing is covering the entire crystal. Okay. This is when I really wish I had certain spills that I don't. I think I'm smack it. I don't think that'll help. I don't think that'll help. Trying to, I mean, the one thing I could maybe do right now, I don't know how well it would work, but you know what? Would I be at first off, before I start wasting any more spell slots, would I be able to see like where this magic might be originating from? You can make an arcana check if you would like. Okay. But I will say that will take your action to take to basically take the time to analyze this in full. Yeah, basically like she's going to say out loud too and just be like, just fuck. Foss field. Yep. Fucking Foss field. How wonderful. With a 12 arcana check, I would say that you can definitely tell that there's some kind of magical ward on this thing. That this crystal has some kind of protection that is not the same as the other crystal. All right. Which one of your sketch all you stupid thing? She's like turns around, sort of like caveman spongebob posing. Like she is not happy. Well, I can knock them on, find out. All right. Yeah, no, I guess that's my turn. Because that was my thing. And I'm not moving away from the crystal. So she's just like. You know, all right. And the orc, orc, dead eye shot, because I don't want to impose a disadvantage. Okay. So this will be a normal shot then. Yep. As a result. All right. All right. She's rolling. Nice. The gable. And I get it back. Rolling high today. I like to try. All right. Oh, nice. Last night. Yeah, she is pretty low now. You can see that she's on her last leg. You can see dings in her armor. You fire another shot. It kind of punctures through a weak portion. She is struggling. And I, as that one's done, Coro goes in for another fork. Let's see the bork. Bork. Bork. Bork. Bork. Come on. Bork. No. He's still such a good boy. It's just. That's it. It's just another. Yep. Just a. And that is a nat one. Let me see. How bad is a thing that happens to him? Oh, no, not that bad. Nothing severe happens to Coro. Just struggling. Doing his best. Oh boy. He poops out a nut. Like one of those little bolt nuts. It just comes out. It falls through one of the holes in the grate and into the magma. Luna, return. Uh, how bad does this one look? Does it look like they still have a lot of fight in them? Are they desperate looking or? They, they look like just a few more good hits could take him down. Just a handful. Just a couple of good hits could probably knock him off. Does it look like they're still like, they're across both still up, still trying to fight despite. Oh yeah. I've been like stopped from. Now if you want to, if you want a deeper analysis of how they're looking, I want to try this. If you would like to spend a bonus action doing a medicine check. To kind of check his well being. Yeah, I'm not great at those, but hell yeah, I'll test your thing. Yeah, up to you. Sure, why not? I'm still going to smack it. So, ooh, 19. Oh, 19. You, hell yeah. You can tell that two good strikes from you could probably take him down. Like from you specifically. Then I want to look down at him and just kind of tilt my head. Do you really want me to do this? And I'm giving him a chance to lower his weapon. Okay. Give me an intimidation. Okay, strength intimidation. This has not gone well for me. Anytime I've, oh my God. See, that's something. 18, please. He just, nope. He holds, he continues to hold his crossbow for this hell of a paycheck. Oh, you bet. It really needed to get a better boss. Was that my action to make that a check? I'm good. I'm going to be generous because you were testing, because you were willing to test out my new thing with the medicine check. You can attack, I'll say. You can attack. I'm going to try and be more strict on those because I feel like I'm giving out these like actions during turns too much. So I'll say this is the last one. And any future things like this will require actions. Okay, that's on me though. That's absolutely valid. That's valid. Okay, well, we accept this. We accept this. We're rolling. Yeah, she just kind of, all right. Then BAP, and then BAP. Oh, no, not enough. He's, he is able to block both with this, just like block and dodge, dodge and weave, moving out of the way. He really wants that paycheck. It's a shame. You actually would be really useful in the trade if you just work for better people. Question. Wow, scathing. Answer. Luna hasn't moved. Oh, shit. Do you want to move, Luna? You know what? I'm going to accept the consequences of my- Let's see what happens. Okay, so because you stood on the same spot that you did on this great above fire without weave. You die. You take six fire damage. The heat beneath your boots becomes very uncomfortable and you can feel it on your feet. I'd recommend moving next time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just Joe, let me do so much already. I need you to take the time to accept it. I appreciate you taking that. Nathaniel, now it's your turn. You can see that these two are ganging up on Enoch. Well, that's not right. That's just mean. I'm going to mind sliver this one again because he's the one that just fire blasted me. I'm still trying to hold onto the concentration for this guy over here, Mr. Shootsman McGee. Oh, wait. Hold on. Oh, we forgot about him. What's up? So you have to concentrate on him, yeah? Correct. So that means you lose concentration on the goblin, yeah? Yes, correct. Okay, I'm just on Mr. Man over here. I'm just making a mental note. All right. If I hear a sudden boom, that's okay. Yeah, there's an explosion. That's fine. I can't be you smart, smart dog. That's why I put the mines there. If I hear a sudden boom, that's fine. The only people there that I want. The only people there who would die are people that I want to be dead. So we're fine. Okay, so mind sliver. Okay. Mind sliver. On this orc man. Unfortunately, she's not a man. She's a woman. But. On this orc woman. Yeah, woman. All right. Yes, your mind sliver is enough and knocks her. Are you lethal? I assume non-lethal. Always non-lethal. Always non-lethal. Yep, she is knocked on her ass as she falls and you hear her loud just metal boom as her metallic armor falls to the ground. I'm putting an X, but she is not dead. I'm going to put like a little sneak marker. Yep. All right, good luck. And I'm going to leave. You know what? I'm curious. I'm curious about how that's going on. I'm going to walk here so that I can see down in that direction just out of curiosity. You can see that Magnus and the Goblin are talking. You can't hear what they're talking about, but they are talking. Oh no. As expected. No, this is good. All right. That's my turn. Next is the protector's turn. I like it. Now I'm going to do the human first. Everything's going exactly as planned. The human is still looking around. And he fires at this mine. Yes! And he fires at it. And please, please blow up. Blow up and take the tiefling out and do my job for me. Come on. The tiefling is like, Jessica, come on. Why don't you? And he sees the bolt almost like in slow motion. Hit the mine. It explodes and it covers the tiefling in black soot. And he is nearly out. This thing explodes. Plot twist. It was a booby mine. It doesn't actually do anything. That'd be funny. That'd be sad. It just sticks out a flag that says bang. This covers you and die. This one is going to just take another simple swing at you, Enoch, with her sword. Good luck. Okay. On. She does get through your armor. Oh boy. She takes a swipe. And that is eight slashing damage on you, friendo. She's a tough one. Have you remembered my temp HP? Did you remember my temp HP? No, that temp HP went gone as soon as the... Okay, that's fun. That's fun. Just wanted to make sure. Yeah. And this one, this one, seeing as moving around and going away is not working, he is simply going to move around here and he's going to take a dagger and trying to stab at Renee instead. Well... I believe he activates... Oh, that activates Sentinel as well. Oh, shit. Everything activates Sentinel. Everything activates Mayway. I have so much shit that is specifically tailored for me. Focus on me and no one else. Right. Show me the attack. Fight me. Fucking go. Oh my god. Oh no. No. So I am going to get stabbed. Yep. Well, you were going to get stabbed regardless. I don't think it stops the attack. Cool. Stab me. Yeah. Well, technically, if he started here, he would have activated as soon as he moved here, I believe. Oh, really? Oh, no, never mind, never mind. Yeah, no, I was going to say. Okay. Yeah. As long as he stays in five feet of Luna. He needs to stay within my range of aggro. So, you know, I'm going to see if there's an attack of opportunity from me. Yep, he got it. So he says it's just me being able to take an attack of up. Well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway. Luna does it. Okay, how much do I get? He puts his dagger on you, Renee. He takes a stab and you take four piercing damage. That's okay. Oof. Okay, I'm still okay. I'm doing all right. Okay. Well, that was rude. I'm going to try and see if I can do what I did in the other room and, you know, I'm just going to like turn around towards him. And it's kind of like, okay, are you going to tell me how the fuck to get these Costello? Are you going to keep on being a bitch until she beats you on Gonja? Okay. Like she's unfazed. She's just irritated. Like. If you would like, you can give me your choice between persuasion and intimidation for that. Cool. Um, I'll do persuasion. Like she's not trying to like be mean. She's just like, listen here, you little shit. Oh, okay. You can see that the tiefling is panting and frustrated, but also just like, you can see that he's frustrated at you, but also frustrated as he says this answer. He's panting. I don't know how to work these crystals. Cecilia didn't tell us anything about it just to turn them off. Well, do you know how to turn it off? No, that's what we've been trying every time we get close. Just blast us back. So you're purposely trying to turn it off. Thank you for being a bitch. You out of the way will have all the time in the world. So die already. Just give him a little finger of like, I am not fazed by you at all. Can. I was going to save my, my bardic stuff. I, will that be a bonus action of talking? I guess. Um, I would say to roll a skill check. I'll say, I don't know. I don't know, man. I don't know how to. It's a bonus action. It's a bonus action. Yeah, bonus action. Sure. Yeah. Okay. Skill checks. I appreciate you. I appreciate you. Is this tiefling wearing armor? Unfortunately, not metal armor. Damn it. It's okay. This is going down. This half-elf is. Is that within my range of my, it is. She's just like, oh really? You want to fuck with me right now? Watch this. And she's just. All right, on, on the half-elf. On the half-elf. Chainmail. Uh, roll me the damage. Oh, four damage. Okay. You can see that it heats and she. Yeah. Yeah. You see that shit? As I look at it, it's just like, oh, you got the fucking end of a stick, didn't you? She's just like, uh. Are you going to move it all, Renee? No, I don't care. I'm sticking around the crystal. You knocked your turn. All right. Well, here goes another dead eye shot. Okay. Uh, because I don't want to impose disadvantage. 17. Just enough. Yeah! Ever so rarely will it happen? And that's going to be a total piercing. Oh, damn it. Yep. Yeah. And while I'm at it, since, uh, since this person's already having a bad day, I'm going to just see if I can make it worse. Okuro, Bark. Boy. Bark? Bark? Had a strong fork. He did a boy. Bark. Bark. Bark. The good fork! Max damage fork. She's struggling. You can see that her armor is just a flame, and she is struggling to hold her sword. Oh, you thought you hurt me? No, we hurt you. All right. Oh, god. All right. I'm going to piss this tiefling, especially because he just stabbed my friend. I would like to impose a wisdom check on myself to resist killing this person, because I am trying to be non-lethal, but he did just stab Renee. You can go ahead with that. And tell her to die. You can play your character however you want. So I'm going to make this decision. Okay. Oh, you're dead. Yeah. No, I'm dead, man. Yeah, no, uh, two. Oh. Oh, my god. Oh. Ooh. Oh. You do? Do I still have a, do I still have my bonus action? You do. I'd like to bring Echo dead out, and I'll use my last unleashed incarnation. Okay. Yep, you may. Okay. Yeah, I'll drag him on in a minute. Let's just roll this. Please. Yes. Hey. Yes. Any specific way, that does kill him. Any specific way you try to kill him? I honestly, this is kind of gruesome, and I'll describe it as PG as possible. Luna just goes up and just drives her sword through the back. This guy's back, and I guess Shadow Dad's played, I guess. I remember Season 2 of Game of Thrones. Yeah, when the Lannister soldier has killed the Night's Watcher guy. Yeah. I just walk up behind him, grab his shoulder, and just right through the back. He is. I was trying to do this without having to kill anyone. He gets too worth it then. Dead, dead. He doesn't even get a final word. And with that, this half-elf is going to spend her reaction dropping her weapon and putting her hands up. She's surrendered. Fun question. How the fuck is this guy doing? Still aiming around, panic him around. If you, I would make an argument Luna just stabs somebody. No, he is still. It's not their turn yet. It's not their turn yet. Well, he's, yeah, also he is still charmed by Nathaniel. Oh, yeah, that's right. It's at random. Okay, got you. Yeah, hold on. I should have put like a little marker on it. I forgot that he had like video game confusion status. Yeah, yeah. He's confused. Well, he's heard himself at his confusion. Reading the spell. Yeah, reading the spell. He doesn't get to make another save until he takes damage. He's just constantly doing this until somebody hits him. This poor bastard. This poor bastard. That's Nathaniel. I am unabated by this poor bastard. So I am going to take a nice skip over this hot grate. And the problems that are happening in there, I am incredibly confident that my team has got them handled. So I'm going to three, four, five, six. We have most of what's in there handled. How's everyone out here? Oh, I'm fine. Magnus speaks up. Just making idle conversation, but it doesn't seem that our little goblin friend here is much of a topic grabber. Oh, and what is he been saying so far? Simply telling tree folk about how useless all this mechanic are. All designs run down parts. Useless if. I would like to be built today. The great Kettering would have many notes to take. I would like to roll insight. Okay, you may. Because I expect everything they tell me to be a lie. Kettering seems genuine, but you can tell from the look of Magnus how he says it. He says every single word eyeing you unblinking. Oh, well, luckily for him, I'm also staring at him and not eyeing Kettering at all. You can see his interest is not in Kettering, of course, very clearly. You don't need an insight to tell you that, but he seems like, you know, yeah, you can tell. I'd say what you can glean from this insight roll, you can glean out of character. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. In that case, have nothing to do as an action, so we can move on from there. It's just me and Magnus, both talking about how great things are going and staring at each other unblinkingly. Oh, God. And after combat, I do, there is something that he is going to talk to you about, but I think it takes a little bit too long to do. Totally, skip my turn as many times as necessary. I'm just in this room. You don't want to dismiss this guy at all. Just why would I do that? First of all, I don't know exactly what the situation is in there, so I don't know if I need to dismiss him. Second of all, he will stop his nonsense as soon as he is hit, so all someone needs to do is smack him. So I'm not worried. I'll go over there and smack him. Even though I haven't explained it to the party, I imagine a crazy crossbow-wielding maniac will incur some wrath eventually. What's the start getting some friends? Then I'll probably start being like, hey buddy, calm the fuck down, whack. With that said, I end my turn. Okay, next to the protector's turn, this guy is going to panic and shoot a random shot. Shit, I should roll on my dice. I heard the dice roll. He's going to shoot a random shot. I meant to roll in my dice tray. He shoots at Echo Dad, of all things, and does not hit. He fires at Echo Dad, and he's still panicking. And this one is already given up. She's got her hands up, and she simply says to you, Enoch, she just has her hands up, her sword is on the floor. I know what I'm eating. Could you please subdue him? I'm just gonna, I'm 5, 10, 15, 20, 20. That was diagonal. I'm going to punch him. The protector's just like, oh, I'll kill you. I'll kill all of you. He's like, oh my god, oh my god. And I just like, shut up. Okay, that's going to need an attack roll. Yep, that'll be my unarmed strike because I'm not trying to like. Okay, I think it just doesn't do any damage when I actually hit, so. Okay, yes, 15 is enough, and it takes your strength mod, which is plus two. Which is, yeah, I have zero. Wait, that's, if your mod is plus two, then it will automatically do. My mod is not plus two. It's a hit DC of plus two. Oh my god, it's damage, zero. Wait, wait, wait, that doesn't, it does nothing, it doesn't work. It's not, it doesn't count. Wait, it doesn't work? No, he has to take damage. He has to take damage. Yeah, he has to take damage. Zero is not anything. I didn't know that. I didn't know that, that's on me. How dare you. To be fair, you don't know how the spell works, but yeah. You just give him a little slap. I'm just like, and he. Sir, but, but, sir? He freaks the fuck out. All right, all right, all done. Just fucking. Anything else you want to do with your bonus action? He's holding his crossbow, right? Yeah, he's pointing it all over the place. Cool, it's got metal in the arrow, so just another heat metal, I guess. Okay, is that a bonus action? No, it's an action fuck. Okay, you know what? This is the time where I have to use my bonus action of the, um, no, that doesn't do anything of actual damage. It's right after you, you're going to be fine. Yeah, yeah. She's just probably sitting there going, shoot them. I'm sorry for causing this big issue. Yeah, she's just like, I had punch. I'm glad this now. All right. Well, that's what happens when you don't have a metal hand. And I'm going to use, all right, go with the gavel. Unfortunately, unfortunately, not enough. Oh, no. Shoot him again. Can I make that a, can I make that dead eye real quick? I would say it should have been called before I say whether or not you can attack him. Objection. Yuck! As soon as we saw the number, you announced whether or not it hit before you could get a chance. I didn't give you a chance. All right, sure, sure, sure. Oh, so yes, dead eye? Yeah, go ahead and dead eye. I was a little fast on that. Yeah, that hits. You're very forgiving. Okay, dead eye. Dead eye. I'll try to give you a chance to talk in the future. No problem. Yes. I'll listen. All right, yeah, that hits. Show me the damage. Oh my goodness. Oh my gosh. Jesus Christ. I mean, killing him will stop the spell. At one point, at any point in time, as soon as I roll a one, this thing stops working. Oh, don't say that. You're going to manifest that. Speak it into the universe. So now he needs to make a save. Yeah, he makes it. Oh, thank God. He's out. He's out. You hit him. And he can see that one of his companions is down, one of them is dead, one is surrendered, seeing as he's surrounded by the three of you and that the minds have not been doing their job. He's going to use his reaction to drop his weapon and surrender as well. Yeah. Coro is just kind of standing in his direction, just like growling, like as a robot growl would be. To kind of say, hey, don't do anything. Because he will work. And that will be the end of combat. Well done. Oh my God. Fuck me. All right. Now, while this is going on, before I go back to you guys, we're going to go to Nathaniel. Yep. Yep. Who Magnus just takes a few steps up to you with his book in hand, while he's continuing to take in the area. And he looks at you, Nathaniel, and he speaks to you. Tell me which taker. I assume that your business, whatever it is that you're doing to all these different investigations, it is a long-term goal, yes? What do you hope to achieve with your business? I'm interested. Why, what does any police officer achieve and what to achieve? The measurement of society. I see. And you feel as though that you are on that path? Why, I only live to serve the city of Malcolm. Yes, I see. And perhaps we are aligned in the same goals. Is that so? Very. Perhaps you might explain what you are actually doing here. I doubt that you're here because Enoch is such a good conversationalist. No, you have been here for me. Why is that? Because I know who you are, Nathaniel Gainesby. And I know who is close to you and he squints his eyes. So I would say, if you wish to keep them safe, you best keep up the act. There is no act, but I would think it would be unwise to threaten an officer of the law or insinuate that they are colluding with some nefarious purpose. He simply says nothing and just sits back and continues to write notes in his book. Tell me, what is it that you're writing? Evaluations. And who are you planning to give them to? That is none of your concern. Perhaps your concern should be checking on your allies. It's getting a bit oddly quiet in there. And that means they've won. What happens when it gets oddly quiet in here? With your passive perception, you can see that he is, he's struggling to, he is, he is the one putting up an act. He's trying to act tough. He's a little, he's a little on his toes right now. Perhaps we've started off on the wrong foot. I'm an investigator, you see. I originally assumed that you were merely a friend of Enoch's. Acquaintances. As I keep being corrected, it seems instead that there is an investigation to be had here. I'm very glad that you've decided to remain with us. Now. He raises his eyebrows at that thought. He is trying to keep a poker face as best he can. You have shaken him. Now, let's go back and see how the rest of our party is doing. That would be a good idea. Lead the way, witch taker. With pleasure. Okay. And just, yeah, one last thing just to twist the knife a little bit more as we are entering this room and we pass by these, these tied up people with mines around them and fire all around. I will say to him without looking, I'll say, Oh, don't mind them. The conclusion of a different investigation. Very nice. Okay. Yeah. So back in the room. Christ almighty. All right. I'm fucking hell. I'm guessing yeah. Yeah. Sorry, you go. And I was going to say, but I just probably said it was just like, okay, to any of you fucking know what you're supposed to be doing at this crystal? Because one of you said not to take it down. Those two were trying to figure out what the fuck were they were doing with crystals. I'd like to know what you're doing. And then you'll be very positive of you to start ducking unless you want to go fucking apeshit on you guys again. Or you know, you've already seen so much shit already. How did you say that? Probably for extra measure. I probably kept the burning on her just to put extra. Yeah. Cause I haven't dropped it yet. Oh, shit. So I'm letting her kind of simmer for a bit. You can see that quickly she will put an end to you. Violently and cruelfully on fire. She's sitting there very uncomfortable. You know, if you kill me, my information dies with me. I'm not going to kill you. Let me roll that 2d8 real fast though. That's a healthy amount. And I think I had like a plus leg. It knocks her out unconscious. Plus three. Ah, she's unconscious. I drop it. See, I was going to kill him. I believe in your tongue it said, murdered. She's on charge to the human. Like saying that that person's knocked out. She goes, you see, I'm not going to kill you. I'm just going to knock you unconscious unless you tell me what the fuck is going on. I don't know. I just listen. Castilia said that she needed these crystals. These crystals, right? There were some twins in the other room. And they were supposed to put the Warfors soul. She said it was supposed to be here, but it's gone. We've been looking everywhere for it. Oh, so sad. And so we've been trying to find another way to deactivate these crystals, but this one has a damn rune on it. That is quite unfortunate. Why are you trying to deactivate the crystals? I don't know. She kept it pretty tight-lipped. That's all she said. We listen to Castilia. We don't want to make her mad. I think we've just been played. I think we may have just been played, yeah. Unless you figure it out before we actually did anything. I'd step over the body. So who wants some painkillers? In a moment. Can we knock him out first? I'm barely elicited right now. I would, too, if he would not mind. Just beat it to a pulp. I take the back end of the gavel and I try and clock him over the head with it. Yep, easily. He is knocked out cold. And there is one last chest here as well. Anyone who would like to- Uh, yay! Fuck! You know me! Money! Money! You know me! Yeah, um- The angel started to- I don't know if it's gonna put a hand to you. It's like, No, I think I'm better at opening chests than you. I'm sorry! Like, that actually gets a really good rise out of her neck. She's just- I mean, I understand- I understand when something takes skill and understanding, but this is not a simple mechanical motion of elbow, hand, open- You knock, take the end! She's making fun of you! Take the end! I know she's not your one of me. Luna is like- She's very- She looks playful, just for the record. She looks like she's just taken the piss. She's grinning. Like, just kind of laughing at herself. Do you want to open the chest then? Yeah, I want to kick this chest open, please. You kick it open, and inside you find a couple of jewels worth- And, like, they're jewels, but, like, functionally, I'd say you could just easily sell them to a shop, so I'm just gonna say that you get 20 gold pieces, unless, you know, there are 20 gold pieces worth of jewels in there. Like, simple, like- They're tiny jewels. They're not what you're looking for. No, not big jewels. You're not gonna find a diamond in there. They're, like, little things that you would make into, like, a small earring or something. Oh, okay. Pretty. So, 20 gold pieces worth of those. And another pair of those same boots that you saw in the other room. And one very fancy-looking gem inside. It looks to be like an emerald kind of polished and cut to look akin to an eyeball. It's the Eye of Vecna. Oh, god. Oh, god. I shouldn't be touching this. I have a question about the smaller gems. Were they just, like, clear gems? Are they colored? Yeah, they're various different types of colors, reds and blues and greens and stuff. Very small. Like, you can hold them all in your hands. Yeah, okay. I just- I want to do this for a flavor thing later that I will text you about. I want to take two of the green ones and slip them into my pocket. I would say that would take, probably, yeah, they're two gold pieces, essentially. I hope you guys don't mind. That'll just be part of my cut when we divide it all up. I just like to make sure that I have two little green stones. The rest we'll divvy out at the end. Yeah, seeing as it didn't roll up. That big emerald has caught my eye. If you look like you're actively interested in it, she'll just kind of head it over, let go. I have no use for this. And I hold it. Oh, Kuro upgrades. Put it into the bag. All right, awesome. Now, you have several. You have so many unidentified items. Yeah, I just like to pack the old to the party. Well, we can identify them all after we're done with the dungeon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And yeah, so what do you- So all that's left are the various mines and the crystal and the kind of broken down war forge. Now, normally I would take a break here. However, we are half an hour away from eight o'clock in Davi. I think you said you had something at eight, like eight sharp. I mean, it is not a definitive like thing, but it is like if we can end it around normal time, then I would be happy. Okay, well, then we're not going to take our break. We're just going to do the final thing you guys wanted to do in this room. And then we can call the session. The banana pack of the day. Is that bananas are good for you? Okay, we're done. Nice. Hey, high in potassium. All right, so it turns out they're trying to get in the room at the first field. And I don't know if I want to be doing their work for them because I have no idea what the fuck is in there. War forge are in there, I'm pretty sure. That's what they're after. And probably the ones that haven't been left to grade to time. I believe that there's a good and simple way of knowing things right now. Oh, there you are. How was your little trip? Oh, it was very good. Apparently the goblin in the other room. Well, he's fine now. The mines should be keeping him safe. Oh, good. You go. Nathaniel, I just had a thought that maybe we should have tried. I can put my manifestation, I can put it anywhere 15 feet within 15 feet of me as long as I can see the space. If I can see through the force field, I could just check what's in that room. I don't believe that would work. It wouldn't be so simple as that. I imagine magic couldn't pass through. I didn't try myself, but it stands to reason. Magnus speaks up. Yes, I studied the thing and all of my magic seemed to fail against it as well. So just enter magic even better. But for now, it may behoove us to bring all of the other people inside of this small room where we can easily keep track of them and interrogate them all at once. All right. We're going to have one less to interrogate from this room. Thank you for that, by the way. And why is that? Honestly, because one of them stabbed me and then Luna just fucking just just does the gesture of like sword stabby like, ah, like. I would have kept it. I would have kept it as non lethal, but I was more concerned for Renee's safety. So in regards to that crystal and knowing my somewhat abilities, both mechanical and magical, I waved to Echo Dad and then I am just going to stare at this thing to try to understand what it is. Why is that the dance of space? What is your, what is your arcana stat? My arcana is a plus five. Plus five. You know that this thing is a strong ward and it is not coming off without some kind of magic. With the crystal that you saw on the other thing, that thing was a strong magical ward, which was why Renee was able to push it over so easily physically. Whereas this magical ward is to stop physical things in some way. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I see, I see, I see, I see, mm-hmm, okay. So just deducing, deducing like process of elimination of like what happened with that crystal versus what happened with this one. Okay, I look back at the party. All right, so do we actually need to get rid of this crystal or should it stay? Because we're not getting past that door without this thing off. We don't know if we want to get past the door. Yeah, Enoch, if you, I mentioned that literally at least the dead man over there, the dead duty over there, said that they were trying to get into the room. They were trying to get rid of the crystals. So I don't know specifically for what reason. Apparently Castilea has not told anyone of these little ones anything, at least as far as mid-combat conversation goes. But I think we might be able to get a little bit more. Yeah, would you guys like to interrogate these two and like bring them into that room? I would like to bring them and the big gobble boy into it all at once. So we just have them all clumped together. Conversation time. Specifically, I'd like to keep them, actually, that room works. This room works. Well, I'd like it to be inside of this smaller room, so that's easier for us to keep track of them. I'll have the spider mines like stand here and here. Put them in the room where there's a dead body. Did not do that. What? No, that's fine. I mean, listen, intimidation, baby. Yeah. Psychological torture is still its form of torture. It doesn't have to be this little. Yeah. Let us have our fun, Luna. Hi, Luna. Oh. Okay, fine, geez. Anyway, for the sake of the argument, I am going to go ahead and use Mending on Coro to kind of put them back together. Oh, that's okay. Just in case. That makes sense. I don't want them hurting. Luna, I appreciate you helping me and making sure that, at least you tried to make sure I did not get stabbed. And I'm going to cast Healing Word on Luna. First of all. Hey. You get eight points back. There you go. But pat, pat, pat. Yeah. Or no, seven points back. But that was for Coro. Yep, sorry. He's fine. All right. She just kind of gives you a nod. So thank you. Sorry. No, no, you're good. You're good. I'm not going to go away. Do your thing, guys. Oh, okay. In fact, to kind of continue the healing cycle, Coro comes up to you and he is going to give you Cure Wounds because you are below halfway. Oh, I'm actually just halfway, but I appreciate it regardless. Oh, that's a good one. Yay. So you see him open his mouth, and you see the two little pills come out that you could take for Cure Wounds. She is going to just kind of look at them and then pop them in the mouth. And then as soon as she starts feeling the heals, she just rubs his face like, oh, that is a good way. I cannot deactivate without knowing if you are satisfied with your care. Yeah. Ah, why is he talking? I do not like talking dog. Didn't like it in underdog. Don't like it now. Scooby-Doo is the closest thing, and that's because he only says Scooby-Doo. I am satisfied with this. Go back to your muscle. I was about to say if you were about to disrespect Scooby-Doo in this house. Yeah, no, just go back to your muscle. Yeah. Oh, my God. I didn't know I was going to talk. Okay. He says Scooby-Doo, and the only other thing he says is Doobie. Doobie. It's so back to the game. Hey, you're right, right. Okay. You wanted to interrogate these guys. Right. Just to let you, okay. So, yes, I am going to- We'll go bullet points of what you guys want to ask them. Well, so this is where we continue Nathaniel's game of thinking a couple steps ahead. I'm going to raise my hand, and as I wave it, like a clump of pink sparks will shoot out from it and scatter all throughout this room. And I'm going to say, if everyone could please don't resist this. And as they fall, and I say that, I'm going to look specifically at Magnus as I cast Zone of Truth. You can see he's trying to, like, make himself close to the wall, but he is within, so 15 square feet. Oh, yeah, he's in it. Yeah. It's every, it's the room. It's everywhere, okay. And you know who makes or fails, right? Correct, if you do not succeed, I will know. That's what I'm going to try and make. I'm going to try and make it. Because I don't trust him. I have to roll myself, actually. Yeah, I don't trust this guy. However, I make my- What is it? Charisma save? I make mine at advantage. I succeed. Charisma save? Oh, no. So, good job. Yes, baby. Listen, I'm here for you. Magnus fails. Yes! That's good for him. That'll keep him safe. Yeah. The Dragonborn fails, the Tiefling succeeds. Okay. And the Goblin fails. So, everyone except for the Tiefling fails. Fantastic. Okay. I succeeded. Right, of the people we are trying to interrogate. Just a friendly reminder for the DM, they are not willed to answer. So, they are allowed to just not say anything. They simply can't lie. All right. Fantastic. All right. Well, that's good. Of the three of you, who would you say is the one that would have the most information for me? Both of these two, just kind of the two fire resistant crew. Look at each other and you can see that they're not willing to say anything, but Kettrig just speaks up. The great Kettrig has good tea to spill. Oh, spill your teasers. Let's go. And the other two just eyeball him. What? The great Kettrig was promised riches and good inventions, not crap and scrap. The great Kettrig... Spill your teasers. The great Kettrig was snooping around and heard discussions with Castilia and Strange Human. Strange Human was able to bring the great Kettrig and other protectors inside, but only have single strong enough spell to put Castilia inside herself. She not tell other protectors, but Kettrig is smart. I appreciate that Kettrig believes that he is smart. So what you're saying is Castilia is in there now? Perhaps to wait to prepare Warforged for when protectors arrive, clean up area so she don't have to. I was thinking that. Oh, funny joke. But the great Kettrig know that squarmy Janasi make us do chore so the great Kettrig take these invention for himself, just in case. And tell me, were you teleporting before or after Castilia was made aware of our presence in the city? After. All right, so she left you out here specifically so that you would get routed by us? Yes. That doesn't seem like a very good thing for a boss to do. Perhaps underestimate you all. Ah, that is very true. As for the two of you, and I glance down at the fire twins. They are tight lipped and staring daggers at Kettrig, who seems very satisfied with himself. You both seem good on Kettrig. You both seem very tied down to Castilia, I can respect that. It's good to, what's the term, go down with the ship. Of course, Castilia will be killed. There's no doubt about that. But I appreciate that you have such loyalty that you'll follow her. Even if it means to the grave. Especially to the grave. Shit. Give me an intimidation with advantage. Yes. Yes bitch. Hey Renee, how's your intimidation? Do you want to roll this one? Intimidation is actually pretty mean. I have a pretty mean intimidation. You know what? I'll let you roll this one. I have a plus five. Hell yeah. Let's see it. Let's see if you crit. Let's see if you crit. Let them spill their entire beads. I mean, that's 17 though. That's pretty true. Maybe, maybe. Okay. Yeah, with a 17, they both look at each other. We didn't hear any of that. But Castilia was pretty secretive about a lot of stuff. She hung out with that human a lot. Right, I assume so. Now you didn't hear a lot. Is that true? No, she deliberately kept us in the dark for a lot of this stuff. She mostly just said, protect this place that you guys would be coming and take you down when we find you. How did that work out? Truly a damn shame. So she kept you in the dark for all of these things. And she left you here so that you could get routed by us. If that's true, then what do I need you for? They look at each other and start to sweat a bit. And you can see Ketrick just like looking at them. So I've been sitting across there and listening to this as he does that to kind of add to this. Can I just start walking? Just both of our mouths. I'm making like just letting my footsteps on the gray echo through the way. Oh my God. Soaring dry up the floor. Tink, tink, tink on the grace. So Magnus actually steps up and he snaps his fingers. It was a ruse. Well, perhaps Castilia was inside but was unable to find a way. If she were to deceive you, perhaps she would make a plan to trick you into opening the door for her so that she may come on out with all of her warforged. Is that what you wanted, Magnus? Yes. And he takes his hand and covers his mouth and his eyes go wide. Oh, I am literally, nope, nope, bitch, bitch, he's a tree. I don't think that means he can't get put under sleep spell. Fuck you, go to sleep. Wait, no, don't cast that spell on him. Okay, fine. You see, like you probably see her going. I'll raise my hand up to that. She's just like, she really just is like, her hands are shaking. She is not happy with him at all. Okay. Oh, bitch, better have my money. Okay, so my internet like cut out for like four seconds and I missed what he just fucking said. I'm so sorry. So he said perhaps it is a ruse. Castilia tricked us so that we would open the door for her and she could like leave with all of her warforged. I responded with, is that what you wanted, Magnus? And he, not understanding that he was under his own of truth, responded with yes. Oh my God. So why is he fucked? Do you want that then? Oh, that's obvious. He's working for Castilia and that's why he's here. I imagine whatever information he had on me that he was trying to, you were trying to separate Enoch and I. Unfortunately, you misunderstood that our bond is stronger than that. I don't believe that you had any information that was true at all, do you? He simply holds his tongue. He doesn't say another word. I rack a shot over all the bodies on the floor. I point it straight at him, kind of just in the distance, like out of focus. You see, Enoch is now upset. He does not like lies. No, he does not. And while I can be non-lethal if I choose to be, and I'll snap and I will mind sliver this man. 12 seconds, that was double, that's max damage. Yeah, that was max damage, very interesting. Fuck, he fails and you can see him wince. I doubt that the bullets from Enoch can be. Tell me, do you bleed? I can find out. That's what I was gonna say. I'm about to find the fuck out. Can we just say what they say together? If they want to be the intimidation this time, they can. Yeah, please, all of y'all. No intimidation required, he is surrounded. He simply puts up both his hands. I must apologize, but I've been quite deceitful. I lied about not being part of the protectors and for this I apologize, Mr. Solomon. Now, that gets you one at the chest and one in the head, so... Please, you must understand. The necrotic city of Cloveway is a mere day's travel and yet the kingdom sits idly by while the spine of death continue to wreak havoc. I didn't consider myself an executioner, Mr. Solomon, but how matter of fact you stated your willingness, well it got me thinking. And when Bloodstride approached me, I don't care what his undermining plan is, he provided us with an opportunity. So you talked to Hemoglobin Ronin? I'm sorry. Wait, are you saying that... I'm making fun of his name, his stupid fucking name. Are you saying that you're trying to get friendly with the spine of death in order to get closer? My relation with the spine so far is only with Bloodstride and it is merely to get us in here that has afforded us this opportunity. Once we are done taking care of Cloveway, he will be next. You're trying to get close to the spine. I want to ask you something. What exactly do you expect to happen if you take out Cloveway? What consequences do you see happening? Well, perhaps one or two necromancers could easily incite pushback from the others, but if we strike them at their home and end them swiftly well, then they won't even have a chance to retaliate. You risk a war. It wouldn't be much of a war the necromancers would lose. No good deed goes unpunished, and if it means that I have to be some kind of warmonger painted in history, then so be it. Oh, you're not going to be anything but a head on the floor if you don't... Right. The important questions that I have for you. You said that you knew more about me. I would love to know what you meant by that. Are you going to hold your tongue? Really? Really? Now? Now? You see, you have informed us that not only are we not on the timings of your timer, but we in fact have no incentive to open that barrier at all, meaning we have all the time in the world. I can cast a zone of truth as many times as it's necessary for you to give me the answers I'm looking for, or if it comes to it, I can be more forceful, but I just want to be. At that I'm going to cast true strike and just be like, you know, here's absolutely weak here, here, here. Ooh, it's a little... You were walking a little funny earlier. Is this spot right there on nobody? She's just like pointing out all the weak spots, so whoever hits it has advantage. As you do that, Luna looks over her shoulder at Enoch. Do you have a good line on Emma? Do I need to move aside? Oh, I have the perfect shot. Good to know. He looks at you now a little bit more frustrated. He takes a step forward, but doesn't... It's more of just to impose himself. You don't know how many I've lost to those damn corpse mages. I am tree folk. Do you understand how susceptible we are to necromancy? How many? How many families I've lost? They have to be stopped. And they will. Do you really think bringing an army across the border is going to stop it? With enough time? No, that just gives... Do you understand what Bloodshed is doing? He's trying to normalize necromancy. He's trying to make it okay. All that's going to do is if you march over the border with an army of Warforge, all you are doing is making Chloe a martyr. Luna, that is the plan. That is the plan with Bloodstride. Yes, Bloodstride wishes to incite... Oh, apparently he's too stupid to see it. Yes, that's obvious. I'm not worried about that. Listen, I understand where your anger is coming from, but what you are doing is going to end up costing far more lives. Only from Luna. Give me a persuasion. That's fair. Yeah. Uh, okay, please, please do it. Blight would do to this guy. That's a good question. Oh no. Luna, no, no, no. I'm not charismatic. He looks up to you, Luna. Then I am willing to live or die for the consequences. Good? Yeah, it's really a shame because someone like you could do so much good if you would just open your eyes. I look at my party members and I want to know if I have any permission from any of you. What you do is up to you. I, I, you have been used as a threat, but I don't, you, or I don't make idle threats. So if you shoot him, it's because he failed to understand that you were going to shoot him. Yeah, that you were pissed. Yeah, right? So like, this was a real problem that he needed to understand. Yeah, he needs, yeah. So Luna is going to hold her hand up just like with a finger. Like just one more moment. Just one more chance. You get three. He's had two. All right, all right. Who did they take from you? What are the names you remember the most? I, I remember Dracar, Zotica, Brienne, so many of my brothers and sisters. Gone in a blink of an eye, all because someone wanted to play a little bit too much with quartz magic. And those people deserve justice for what's happened to them. But what if I told you there was another way, one where you would not be a war monger, one where your name would be remembered for due leaving good things behind, one where those people, those people, those names are remembered. At this, everyone hears an unfamiliar voice, but one that Enoch you are familiar with. However, it sounds distorted and you can hear it emanating from Enoch. Oh, god damn it. There is no other way. Can my reaction to that, can that reaction, my reaction to hearing that being stepping in front of, of Magnus in between the, the January, at that. You can see Enoch is glowing, bright, white, blinding Enoch. I need you to make a wisdom save. No, Enoch! All right, here we go. Is it, is Enoch the final boss? Is it time to fight Enoch? 17. You are able to resist the harm that comes from this happening, but it does happen. As the voice in your head and the being that you are inside of you bursts out of your chest and knocks you on your ass and flies into Magnus. And the voice speaks through him as Magnus starts to rise and glow a bright white. I need everybody to make a constitution saving throw. Oh, fucking what? Fuck! Oh my god! He transferred bodies! He transferred bodies! Oh no. No. Oh no! Oh no. Oh no! Everyone, everyone aside from Enoch is blinded by this bright light. Blinded by the light. The voice, the voice, the being goes into Magnus and rises through the air. There is no other way. And he, whoops, that's not right. I am putting one immediately in Magnus's head. Okay, show me the attack. 19. Okay, show me the damage. I'm worried about where this is going to go now. Yeah, I'm letting it happen. Oh no! Oh my god. That is a max damage. Holy shit. Almost, almost. Almost. Two away from max damage. Two away from fucking max. Holy shit. And you crack it goes through his head and his head splits and you can see a face burst out in ethereal light and he screeches and goes back into him. And he, so this is the last thing that's going to happen. Unfortunately, it's too fast for you guys to react. That's okay. They're not going fucking anywhere. Flashes over here and you can see bright white wings. You can see that Magnus's body is as if it's being moved around like a puppet. Vanishes, appears here, holds the hand up and shatters the crystal. Fuck! Oh fuck! And turns to you, Enoch and says, You were always with me. And that is going to be today's session. Oh my god. Wait, since when can he move bodies? Did you know this? I was in a middle of this. What the hell? Enoch, why didn't you warn us of this? I didn't know any better. Is Enoch a human now? Wait a minute. Is he? Wait, is he human? No, no. We will find out next session. Yeah, we'll have to figure that shit out. Oh my god. Oh my god. This was amazing.
