 You all wake on the sandy shores of this mysterious island a land unfamiliar to you and the jungle ahead Echoes with chirps and cries of creatures unheard of by the world you come from the beach you stand on has pieces of debris and Cargo just strewn about as you lay there What do you do? Yeah, phasos is going to immediately bolt up And look around the wreckage Dammit, he's gonna get up and he's gonna start looking for his jacket and any of its instruments Okay, yeah, honeymoon I like oh Just holding her head trying to start shaking sand out of her clothes and looking around getting her bearings Trying to keep for any weird shit It's it's up notices her coils are empty and starts frantically looking around for more people Phasos you do see your jacket that seems to be like wedged in to a few peach pieces of Kind of broken splintered plywood. Oh Maybe like lie that wood across. Yeah, ply the wood across you hear a How as you try to ply the wood across you hear a slight rip As he hears it once again, dammit Honeymoon honeymoon gets to her feet and sees him kind of Sees that sees the jacket And she she's kind of taught her's over to him and looks over his shoulder and with a very smug smile She says, you know, I couldn't in that for you if you don't do that touch it Honeymoon holds up her hands like okay In order to get it out, I'm gonna need you to do a sleight of handshake Oh, yeah, sir Yeah, as you pull it though You hear a little bit more ripping as as you can see that there is a big like line across one of the shoulders You're able to manage to pull a majority of it out Unscathed and you do brush off a lot of the sand But you are gonna need a tailor to fix some of these threads. Honeymoon is just standing there kind of just still smiling smugly and she's Kind of raises an eyebrow and says, oh, are you quite sure about that? quite He kind of looks around does he notice any of his instruments about they would have been kind of close by you a little bit sanded and Sanded up and a little wet, but none the worse for wear Especially your parchment is mostly fine as we kept it close to your person You still lack a writing utensil aside from the like really shoddy charcoal that you found though Yeah, phasos is gonna kind of go pick up his his instruments making sure that they're relatively Well-capped, but he's gonna glare at honeymoon Langley Langley How serendipitous it is that you of all people would end up here on this magical beach Hmm that that that the one cartographer here He knows what he's doing with his skills and his hands has to just scrounge But oh look at you you're here with your magic cartography I'm sure that oh when you were doing that little ritual spell there You weren't possibly I don't know summoning the kraken to be able to Get in my way, and he's just very Frustratedly Messing with his bits honeymoon just kind of listens with a raised eyebrow and like a little half smirk She she just kind of tilts her head with it with a smart with a coy smile And she goes oh mr. Jurem you think too highly of me and assume I think so highly of you and She she just turns and goes to help see what to Beth is up to and she goes to Beth darling. Are you quite all right? to Beth is like you know how People like when they go down a water slide head first and they have like their arms tucked to their sides and stuff like that That is their exact pose just face planted in the in the sand You can see that she made like a slid even and there's like a little bit like the sand has kind of glassed away a little bit because of her internal heat So she's just there and then like ever so often the waves come up and like tickle her toes And like she's just instinctively like twitches in goes But like she's just out cold otherwise Uh-huh honeymoon starts to try to dig you out of the sand because if she needs all you fuckers alive Hello darling Where are we? Honeymoon looks over her shoulder at the volcano spewing golden smoke and says an excellent question But my first guess would be the golden K. Oh Excellent. We made it where's the Just look around like oh I see Yeah, we're none of us are quite sure what exactly happened to the ship and the rest of its occupants with any No, no sign of him yet. Oh The shame who's the best captain I've served under yet. Yeah, honeymoon thinks but doesn't say yeah, and he's my ride out But she doesn't say that no, no, of course not She catches phasos struggling with his poor torn jackets like oh, he looks much more like a pirate now I've been offered to fix up his jacket for him, but he refused so I Think he should keep it like that. It has a lot more flair. I suppose it looks less like an accountant Yeah, it's a bit less lawyer-ish. Yes. Yeah, I suppose we just gather up everywhere we can and Search around for the rest Well, I mean phasos likes to say otherwise, but I am a map maker and she looks up at the sky That is I think you said it was distinctly different from the one that we knew right Joseph. Yes, so being a Stargazer as you are even during the bright daylight just like how you can see the moon I'm sure you have some skill kind of figuring out where you are via stars even during the daytime in some way and You can see that this one The subtleties and nuance of the sky are very different to you Which is not something that you've ever experienced before as the sky is always consistent in the lustrous expanse not here Yeah honeymoon kind of Bulls out her her little star map and it's a it's a scroll of black silk kind of capped with gold and just starts Kind of looking over it and she says Mrs. Jurem likes to say otherwise, but I am a map maker and this place Matches no sky. I've ever seen And she she smiles a little and she says and I have to say I'm quite intrigued We're on a different sky under So it would seem honey moon will will help to Beth up And she'll start making a way toward Latilla Which what is it doing? Yeah, what is sat down on this chunk of wood? After going to other every other chunk of wood and flipping it over and the off chance someone is buried And her head is just in her hands flipping through them. Yeah, you don't find any person You do find various different kind of pieces of ruined soiled cargo and through the searching No role required for this because the items are just there for you to find you do find two potions of healing and Two daggers just kind of strewn about as well. It seemed like it may have belonged to someone and one soaked blanket Yeah, yeah, honey moon will sidle up and she'll be like find anything useful Better than nothing and she may I roll perception perhaps as honey moon kind of looks around tries to take stock of the whole beach See if anything else unusual catches a ride. Yeah, if you wanted to do it deeper a deeper look. Yes Give me a perception. Yeah, go ahead Yeah, bing bong Bing bong. That's pretty good. Yeah, you take a little scan of kind of the the shore you take a walk kind of across staying within eye shot of your companion so as to not lose sight of them and You do find kind of various different signs of other crew members here However, they're the footsteps that were there seem to be covered. You see faint signs of those footsteps kind of around Okay, seeing as though they were perhaps there a little a little earlier than you guys as some of it has been covered by You know the wind blowing the sand is washing you do find a couple of more daggers. So that's four daggers total seem to be dropped by you know once again also kind of like Chipped up and stuff, but still functional as it as daggers You do find some ruined food various different fruits and vegetables That are not edible what with how much sand and salt water has been covered through them Yeah, honey moon. She'll she's kind of kneeling in the sand kind of with a like trailing fingertips over the the footprints and she says it looks like perhaps some of the other crew members were here just Washed up and left before we did and looking through this I assume fazos you're you're taking in the environment as well. Yeah Yeah, I was about to get to that whenever that she was done. Yeah fazos is is at this point He you know took his charcoal He kind of sharpened it with one of his daggers and he's already starting to kind of look at the coastline and draw some lines And it's doing some investigation now This is just for convenience sake that you both kind of get a little bit of lay of the land that you are on so far as You both now have an idea of somewhat of a map where you are So far you have you have mapped out the coastline And Functionally you guys will this map will come in handy as as you fill it out as well later on It's gonna say do we know where we're at on this map? You are approximately about here Okay He's checking his compass as well to see where north is and all this stuff Is it all functioning as he's expecting his tools to function? Yep, very much so although this is a different world It still seems to function with the same kind of rules of Physics that the lustrous expanse the same with you honeymoon although the sky is unfamiliar. It is still a sky It's just just gonna be about as difficult as learning a different dialect for you Yeah, honey moon is kind of making like magic in little adjustments into her star scroll kind of taking a lot of a Lot of measurement is the wrong word because she's not measuring anything But a lot of ravenches like to the sky where it looks like other things are can we see anything else on the horizon? Hmm over the horizon you do see a few clouds a lot of them seem to circle around the island as opposed to going around a sort of global rotation Interesting honey moon makes a note of that. I would like to break honeymoon from her reverie Yeah, as honey moon is kind of like She I imagine she's sort of like writing with the tip of a gold claw to make new additions to her star map How do you get her attention? They slid through my coils, honey moon. Oh Who did oh, I suppose you were sort of And I don't suppose grappling would be the right word holding They're just gone Well Based on some of these footprints that I've seen perhaps they're not gone They simply got here before we did and have since moved inward or inland rather. We may yet find them She looks uncertain But she'll not mm-hmm Of course the good old just drowned or been eaten by would have us on the island too, but One way to find out To bet those were the people well Yes, that's jumped first. Well To bet you wanted to do something Yes, while honey moon and phasers are doing map stuff and Latilla is lamenting her friends Um To Beth is going to like she's gonna like take a quick like scan to make sure that the other three aren't really paying attention To what she's doing and she's gonna start digging through the wreckage to see if she can find some more Ammunition and also rope Give me your choice between investigation perception or survival perception Digging digging through Kind of the various different pieces of wreckage you Here's what happens you kind of look through and it seems as though You think you see something but then you don't but as it turns out you did see some ammunition But you accidentally stepped on it and by the time you see it again, it is washed away and pulled away by the tide No For the solely for the comedy since my passive perception is 23, can I've noticed this just to make the an on your face? On your face Please I need a reference. It's but yeah, no, she audibly said no So no rope either though, right Unless you started with rope. No, no, okay. That's all I wanted to do is to mm-hmm unfortunate luck So I've so looking for looking inland Joseph, what do we kind of see you see lots and lots of tree line? Kind of looking over with your highest shit perception. You can see that there is some subtle change in Scenery implying a slight change of not quite biome, but just terrain There are some parts where the tree line dips particularly to the right You see that it dips a lot and to the left you can see that From your experience as a map maker and cartographer and you as well phases You can tell that whatever it is towards the left side seems to be more of a wetlands of some kind and Kind of straight down the middle seems to be very typical dense jungle honeymoon relays kind of what? They've sort of gotten an idea of you know have you know to the right seems less tree e to the left seems Rishi wetlandy straight down the middle just seems Which is densely forested and so as we're all kind of pow wowing Honeymoon says So I suppose now we ought to figure out how we move forward with that I agree with you we can't just just stay on this beach for the entire time Well the way I see it. We have three options We could either try to find the rest of our compatriots by following the footprints. We could try to go straight to the treasure as it were the Where I assume is held in that volcano over there Hence the billowing smoke or we could try to work our way around the circumference of the island to properly map it before we go more inward I Do like the idea of a circumference map Would be helpful to know the exact Parameters about how far we'd have to move in order to Cross it but without any real knowledge of how big the island is that could take us some quite a long time We're quite true My main purpose for being contracted here was to protect the people in the ship I Have you three I would like to follow the footprints. I for one would love to see the treasure about now Well, there has to be some reason for all of this, you know, well, I mean Honeyman kind of puts a hand on each other's to Beth. We're trapped on an island one way or another. We're going to Before we die, right? Yes Hopefully we have no guarantee of course exactly. That's what I'm saying. So prioritize, you know Honeyman looks kind of inland and says I admit I'm a bit torn. I think that Mapping out the circumference of the island is quite useful, but I also think making forward progress directly towards answers would also be good and I think both the footprints and the treasure we will find further inland so Personally, I'm leaning towards either following the footprints or finishing our perimeter map I Believe looking at the terrain ahead. There are some high points of vision Perhaps we could find somewhere high up that we could accomplish both going inland and being able to see the perimeter of the island Sure, it won't be as where the treasure is volcano. Of course the volcano We're going to the volcano Eventually But rushing headlong into unknown danger is dangerous Just a thought Like we did with the whirlpool just back there Additionally we might want to rest here. Did anyone get injured? Yes, yes, I had I was battered. I got a little injured. I could take I am hurt Yeah, let's rest in the shade over there You guys spend 30 minutes to an hour short resting licking your wounds making sure all is like wrapping him in bandages and Whatever kind of leftover debris you can find around you take in your surroundings and you rest up and kind of patch yourselves up What is the decision you guys want to do? What are the votes here? I? I know honeymoon said either take perimeter of the island or go inwards Latilla voted going inwards To Beth voted going inwards So I think that is three votes for going inwards. Oh, I used the wrong dice I'm phase those votes for going inwards to and specifically inwards and upwards upwards, okay So I guess head to the right ish I guess that means you guys head inwards then inland I think we're following the footprints seeing where they take us, okay So you follow the footprints and because this is unknown territory. We're gonna go back to the blank map and So here we're gonna do another skilled challenge You begin your trek through the jungle charting your course along the way And you hear the echoes of various creatures some of them sound very bird-like some of them You can't quite pinpoint what they are and as you traverse throughout the jungle You start to realize that you can easily get lost and you need some expert navigation Make sure you're aren't you aren't going in circles the thick jungles of the Golden K are foreign to all of you It's uncharted territory in every sense And as a result it may take you some time to find your heading in it with six successes You will manage to get yourself a lay of the land and be able to make a better decision on Where you wish to go on the island in the sense where I will give you options Six successes will give you the options of where you wish to go. However with three failures You will get lost and head into a path. You did not choose Maybe even wasting precious daylight hours while you're at it Which may risk your chances of finding help and a way off the island Well, half of us have dark vision. It's fine Knowing this to that first up To Beth uh, you're to best She is she's first gonna take note that the trees are Actually, can you describe the trees for me? I don't want to I don't want to assume. Oh, yes Jungly it's very jungly. So yeah, very your typical tropical trees your coconut bearing, you know Technically grass trees. So kind of tall kind of skinny. Yeah tall skinny Kind of steppy, you know, like the ridges that they they tend to have Perfect. Okay. So then yeah, to Beth is going to take note of the trees and she's gonna go Those are very similar to a crow's nest. Aren't they not and she's going to Scurry up one of them to see if she can get a better lay of the land from up there So in acrobatics check. Yeah, go ahead. Okay. Yep. Yep No ice that is one success You carry yourself up to the to the top of the tree line Scouring out and you can see a nicer kind of layout of the situation of the island well done You feed the information back to your party and they get a little bit better information on the land next lot to look I would like to do some athletics to better help clear the path. Ah, okay. Yes starting Like karate chopping the the the vines out of the way. Go ahead. Give me athletics That's another success. You push over logs and broken down trees. You move boulders You just kind of stomped down firm ground for people to traverse and makes the overall Traversal experience for taking in the survey of the of the land a lot easier for your party. Well done Nice one honey moon All right, honey moon is going to fall back on some On some survival skills of hers. She is going to do a lot of taking account of like sun position Observing Just the foliage what kind of plants and creatures she sees around Doing her best to keep track of the footprints which waves they're headed How old they are? I would like to use survival, please go ahead and give me a survival Very nice. Okay. Yes You find tracks and trails you see kind of where Whatever animals were around in this area like kind of where they use Kind of the the terrain to traverse and just seeing What is around and you notice some plants that although unfamiliar to you have kind of similar characteristics as plants in the real world The real world your world that you notice might be a little bit dangerous And you are able to swerve out of the way of those as well Good job. Another success. All right, phasos Here's your chance to make up. Come on. Yeah, come on. Come on phasos Okay, so is going to um Be studying the movement of the uh the different animals as we're kind of passing through With his insight on how things move and how things You know go about their uh kind of what they're You know Their their body language about like kind of where they feel they they seem to be feeling like more comfortable to going towards trying to kind of use that To to to figure out where more dangerous parts might be and to avoid them. I like that. Let's go You're doing the skyrim thing following the fox to the treasure. Okay. Yep. That's going to be another success Very good You do see kind of the odd animal some odd creatures around some of them Seemingly segmented animals that are still holding themselves together somehow with some kind of magical effect You didn't get quite get a good glance But you see kind of the pattern of where they're moving and you follow them along as what you notice the paths that they avoid kind of You're not able to see them danger immediately But following their example you notice. Oh that led to A large pit. Oh that led into some more poisonous plants that honeymoon pointed out. Good job You're able to traverse the land a little bit about more to bet you have four successes no failure so far. Yeah Okay So I assume that we can't use the same skill twice, right? Nope to bet what she's gonna do after she's done with her surveying Up from the tree tops is she's going to change uh tactic and go on to the ground floor And she's going to help try to clear away any Thorny underbrush as carefully as you can without getting hurt herself So she's gonna try to do a sleight of hand check sleight of hand. All right, let's see With a crit that's gonna be two successes And you clear the path you stay Weary of any potentially dangerous scenarios You're like about to cut one vine, but you notice that it's the only thing holding up a massive log That's about to topple and you're like no and you cut something else And you do enough of that that you guys get a nice lay of the map you draw out Kind of the options of what you were able to glean from the island Three different paths You have the path straightforward, which is the jungle very familiar to you now kind of the most straight forward To follow kind of you know what to expect now and you might be able to Through familiarity traverse through it very easily However to the right you see you Have an inkling that it is the path towards a tried up lake of some sorts where you will not have a lot in your path However, it will leave you exposed since there's not a lot of cover to be there And potential danger could notice you as this is an unknown island with unknown creatures But it does give you the least amount of kind of obstacles traversal Traversing it and to the left there you Realize that there's possibly some running water perhaps a river that will might lead you into Some fauna of some sorts which could be potential danger But it is also an easy way to keep track of your steps if you get lost Which path do you choose? So I have a question Were we able to kind of glean Where some of those footprints we saw if they headed in any particular direction? Yes They headed towards the river Yeah, honey, we'll relay this to everyone. I wouldn't have given you that information But you had no failures, so I think you've earned it Yeah You put your back into it Um Phasos is going to kind of think about it for a moment Running water Is often the place where civilizations Would you know put down their roots plus it gives us an access to fresh water if it is indeed fresh fresh so Perhaps that would be our most logical way to go though. I will admit the Open line of sight in the drive bed Would be nice for mapping The river could also be useful for mapping It won't tell us much about the perimeter, but the useful pathway and couldn't lead us to put any bodies of water Add a character, uh, do we have to worry about food and water? Like considering you start with 10 days of rations and I highly doubt you're going to spend 10 days here No Okay, tibethen's gonna take this all in Well, we are most familiar with the jungle though since we've been here the longest And it's the shortest path at this point to the volcano So I wouldn't entirely dismiss our current path, but if we were more dead set on finding our compatriots The river might be the best place to go People follow rivers. I'm good to keep going that way Honeymoon, um She considers for a while and says I think I'm leaning a bit more towards following following the river Uh, phasos is going to kind of take a deep breath as he's Preparing himself I Agree Honeymoon gives him a knife cat smile So disappointed that he agrees Agree with honeymoon or draw 25 Fingers have a full hand Well, all right, so you guys are gonna head down the river path then Yes, sir Yes, as you trek through the path towards the river you can see that there are those strange fauna that you saw they seem kind of somewhat resembling the creatures that you see in your world some of them kind of look like Deer perhaps but again segmented and maybe made out of a certain type of wood And as you know before you even get a second glance at them. They kind of dart away at your presence And you hear rustling in the trees around you nearby the river Joseph, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark seeing these strange creatures how they're made and dart off so quickly Honeymoon is thinking is is wondering about you know various planes of existence that she Learned about in her stardeword training Would you permit me to roll arcana to see if I might have any inkling as to if we might be on a different plane of existence? and if so What? Yes, you may Okay with arcana You do know that you have a strong sense that this is another plane of existence It's not one you've heard of this is of course new For you and you know as the information of the golden k was new to you as well Since it's not a very studied location the most information you've gotten was from the book and conversation you had with um With captain rack morn as this place is in a land called the the outer sea Apparently whatever this place is that is the closest thing you know to a Kind of description for it the outer sea Yeah, honeymoon ponders this and is troubled, but she's also very interested There's some odd looking creatures don't you think very much Why do they look like holiday statues? Have you ever seen like the wooden deer? Yeah, they put out around christmas time Well, whatever we are I don't think it's on The material plane just then a creature drops down Hanging from a vine right in front of your face Me yep right in front of your face you can see that it is uh just like Darting around and just like drops down right in front of you and you see this And this is honeymoon freezes This is similar to what kind of the the deer like creatures look like segmented pieces of floating Bark and leaves and non-distinct tree fruits hanging held together with an arcane energy of some sort And it turns it turns what looks like limbs around as if they were on a frictionless pivot kind of spinning around And it looks like it's got almost like a masky face Looking at you with two holes that kind of tilt back and forth at angles inquisitively looking at you And the rest of you can see that there are dozens of these hanging in the trees just looking at you This sick phase those kind of looks around Ah the natives Honeymoon like after she freezes she's kind of stares at the thing Glances away back at it and says and kind of lifts a hand tentatively and says It drops from its vine and kind of starts to skitter around around your feet and just kind of like putting its little hands like things Kind of very scratchy bark kind of scratching at your feet a bit kind of skittering around and a few Other ones kind of start to inspect the lot of you as well looking around just checking you They seem very intrigued Honeymoon I'm very thankful that they're very friendly, but I don't believe I'm the best for them to be around Honeymoon kneels down and kind of holds out a hand for them to inspect She's she's thinking of them like when you greet a new dog Its hands aren't very small and one hand is able to kind of like cover your One entire finger and they kind of like holding it by two fingers and just kind of tilting it lifting it up and down Yeah, honeymoon's just letting them like poke around at like her hand and her tail and like just You know and letting them investigate perhaps these Natives could be of use to us They seem friendly enough. Maybe we could get them to uh Provide some assistance By the show that I feel like they've provided enough already. I feel great now They're horrible little guys. I do say this. There's like my mood has lifted There's like eight of them hanging around you just like one of them is hanging like just like Nested in your hair. There's one just like hanging off of your arm Well, they they have to be powerful of some sort because this one isn't burning and she points to the one directly in her hair Uh Honeymoon, uh shot in the dark uh try and says in a in a bissel Hello, do you speak? Um this language They all like all of them stop what they're doing and immediately like all center their Faces Towards you. Okay. They don't say anything back, but they all have Reacted to that sentence in the bissel Okay, they stand at attention. Okay, honey moon kind of raises her eyebrows uh And she continues in a bissel our ship crashed on the beach and we're looking for Some of our friends who might have come this way Have you happened to have seen any of them people that look like us? The one that was closest to you honey moon kind of like spins. It's like without turning its Body spins the face of it around to to the back pointing towards all the other creatures of itself Takes two of its limbs and kind of bangs itself on its face like a drum And then the rest of them all in course And they all kind of skitter away from you and start to all head in a funneled direction Honeymoon gets up and starts to follow That was quite the performance you had them do but uh, whatever Well, I asked them if they might have seen any people like us um, so I guess They might be showing us the way I trust them and she starts walking forward Yeah, so anyone's following phasos is going to kind of grumble for a moment and then follow Hey, you were the one who wanted them to offer assistance and here they are Yes, I suppose but Of course All right, I get results, bitch So as you as you follow them through with your high shit perception Uh while you are following them, they slowly lead you away from the river But you see something in the water something big Oh And it was watching Uh honey moon who's closest to me like to bet Uh probably to bet because she was she seemed to be the second unless you're pissing off phasos No, honey moon's busy following these guys. Honey moon's too busy getting shit done Oh Honey moon kind of like sees that thing Our eyes widen just a hair and as she's you know as we're following these little dudes She leans slightly over to bet and whispers like just so that she can hear I think there's something large in the river that's watching us You don't suppose that might be where our friends had headed to originally, huh? I suppose we'll find out, won't we? In the case I will keep that information away from lotilla just in case Well, I don't think that's necessary, but Just be on your guard But these They seem to be leading us away from it. So, you know, I'd go as well. Yes Yeah It was a hippo Well, that'd be funny wouldn't it And regardless regardless to beth's concern is that whatever was in there Pretty much killed the crew If these little guys are leading us away and he doesn't want and and to beth doesn't want uh Uh, let's tell it to be worried about our guys Okay, as the little guys are leading you Um Specifically you fazos just like mapping the terrain and looking around you notice that the the path they lead you It takes you away from the original footsteps that you were following And footsteps that on closer inspection look more authentic than the other ones. Ooh by the river That only only inspecting them retroactively. Do you realize wait those other ones don't look as real as these? Oh Faisos is going to uh Notice that he's gonna note it to himself. Is this gonna keep going? Hmm All right, so you followed the little guys after a little bit more traversal you come across They they lead you and kind of split after reaching sort of a stop stopping point And they all kind of traverse in like a like a t Outwards after they reach the point Which is a massive pair of stone doors And it seems to lead into some kind of Manmade structure of some kind the stone brick walls that make up the structure seem very very old and cracked but covered in overgrowth And it seems to be holding fast despite all the Kind of roots that have been growing into it and the one that initially came to you A honeymoon just kind of stands there in the center almost as like a lead and takes its limbs and bangs against its face, uh, its barky face one more time And just hops and rolls off and climbs up to the vines swinging out and they all just kind of sit framing You guys in the trees, uh honeymoon kind of glances between the little guys and in a biscle asks them Are we allowed inside You see the the main lead one just kind of takes its one one of its Fists and just kind of bangs his head Okay, and yeah, it's still on a biscle. She says, uh, I'm going to take that as a yes um Stop us if you actually didn't want us to go in Uh, and she will start cautiously approaching those doors Um before we get too close to the doors to beth is going to turn around and face the little dudes up in the trees is because uh Thank you. Uh, I hope this is the right way and um She knocks on her face like they do their bark face Uh And like makes the noise with her uh mouth The little clicky noises. Yeah. Yeah. They uh, they they do it back at you. They seem very excited at that like hell. Yeah Uh, and then she's going to smile and turn back around and go with the party That was cute. Give yourself an inspiration for that Okay. Yeah, so the big stone doors On close inspection, you can see that it's got a lot of overgrowth of moss But it looks otherwise sturdy. There's barely a crack in these doors Okay Inspect Yeah, uh a question, uh joseph Uh, would it would you permit me to roll history as I sort of take in the style of the door Sort of the age and try to compare it against my knowledge of like different cultures and architectures and just Or any motifs that i'm familiar with give me your history score because this is one of those where it's like Even if you fail, we're gonna like take you're gonna take the time. What is your history score? Plus three. Oh plus three. That's pretty okay. So this does look like architecture that May be made by people like sentient sapient people from your world from ancient times You know, it seems like something very familiar for once something that could have been made It's not one to one from anything that you've seen in history But you could put this in a history museum and someone would think oh, yeah, it's from this era Like some I made doors of stone heads or some shit. Yeah, it's like if somebody made a sequel to stonehenge Stonehenge two doors And it's like, oh, yeah, of course they would have made a sequel to stonehenge. They have the technology Stonehenge was so popular Look at all that torus Yeah, phasos is going to uh, you know take a little break from all his mapping and stuff He's gonna draw the doors On his map just to kind of get a a sense of where it is To be to be give you a little bit slight meta information It is entirely possible that someone from your world could have made these doors Yeah Yeah, I wish to touch the doors You touch as you lay your hand on the door Like the instant the teeniest atom your finger touches it an ethereal hand punches you Coming out from out of the door And just like you just Fall on your back onto the dirt and the the ethereal fist just slowly comes back You don't take any damage But you do feel like the wind's knocked out of you and all the little like creatures just kind of rattle And like hit their masks almost in like laughing I'm looking very confused Are you all right? I was punched by a door. No, I saw Is the door already open or is no it is closed it is sealed shut Well, we have permission to go inside And yet it sucker punches a muscle Interesting You say you get up and like go up to her full height Oh, I would be careful with how many fists are back there. That's ethereal so there could be a lot Uh phasos is going to um see see all this and he's going to um Inky tendrils himself using his uh tattoos Uh this kind of ink comes out and he's going to try to see if he can kind of Ink his tendrils in between the the seam of the door See if they it reacts to that You slowly put your inky tendrils kind of through the to the seam of the door to try and maybe wedge it in And the same thing happens a big fist ethereal fist comes almost like from through the door as big as you just Knocks you on your butt I was about to my second question was going to be how big is this fist? Oh the fist is like massive It's like one finger is like the size of your arm Okay Honeymoon uh kind of turns her turns toward the the little dudes hanging around in the trees And she gives him a a broad smile. Uh, and she says Um, it seems to be some sort of game to get in isn't it? I like games Won't you teach us how to play? In a bissel Give me a persuasion Let's see They're having they think it's too funny to watch us get punched That's exactly what they think they they kind of rattle with the same kind of Kind of fun look that they gave when Latilla was knocked on her butt and also phasos as well. They all seem to be enjoying this very much I do not have a butt. Well on your snake's tail Um Would you permit me to roll arcana to see if I might uh have any inkling how to fucking handle this? Yes, while she's doing that, uh, tebeth is gonna go grab a stick Wow Bad rules had to come in sometime All right arcana you can tell that this might need some kind of very specific ritual what that might be Who knows tebeth as as you're wrapping up your arcana check tebeth returns with her stick goes Let's try this and she's going to like at full extension of her arm And to stick gently tap the door You Tap the door and the fist comes out and punches you Oh Jesus And you can hear uh both latilla and honeymoon you hear in abyssal Such rudeness I was trying to knock Honeymoon Honeymoon steps up to the door and not touching it, but curtsies and then holds out her hand a tiny Uh smaller in comparison on ethereal hand comes out and takes it shakes it And the doors open Honeymoon throws the group a very coy smile over her shoulder and says well shall we And she starts walking it Did did anybody The door spoke oh I see Well She's gonna get up dust herself off Uh Look back to the to the little dudes. What are they doing now? Uh, they all seem to be satisfied. You see they're starting to kind of disperse Uh, a few of them do a little knocks against their mask amongst themselves kind of communicating A few of them stay and watch for a little bit, but it seems they've had their fun Gotcha. Well, she's gonna cast aside her stick and and join, uh Langley inside Yeah, the phasos is gonna get up dust and stuff off sigh again because Langley's just solving all the problems. Yep. He mutters it under his breath as he walks in Taking detailed notes as he does so We're beginning to understand the distaste And what Hey, all right, um I was gonna say he could start like taking uh the fucking d4 psychic damage every time honeymoon does something Successful Fuck you guys, honeymoon's a delight She is a delight. No, I'm saying I'm just saying to to to further enforce the The the schism you two have yeah, you guys head inside And as you all step in The door is behind you immediately close shut boom and a lot of dust kind of comes up around you It is very dusty and musty and the only Dim light that comes through are the cracks in the ceiling of the stone structure And I'm gonna bring you over to another map. Oh, hi y'all. Welcome to La Dungeon Straight ahead you can see that there is kind of a stony hallway With a creature that you would have heard of from your world You can see that there is a slime of some sorts Oh, no, is that a cube of the gelatinous variety? It is not a cube of the gelatinous variety I will not say what specifically it is unless uh one of you does. I don't know like a A martial check. I guess our intelligence Check high enough and also you can see on the ground this green stuff right here. That is all moss So, you know, whenever you see green on the map that is moss overgrown over this stony tiled floor I thought I was just sliming. I also thought I was just sliming I thought it was dirty water Okay Well, um moss slime take your pick of like slippery substance from the jungle Sure um, I can try to roll just a little inch check see if I've uh It can deduce anything about this fucking slime. Yeah, why not? All right Oh, yeah Oh, no, youch. It sure is a slime. Yeah Some kind of oos So it it's fairly dark in here, right? Uh Dark but even if you don't have dark vision light enough from the beams of light from the cracks in the ceiling that you can see it's reflecting off of the stone enough that uh It is Illuminating the place that you there's no need for a torch or anything like that. So like uh, indiana jones dungeon. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Give me an in Better. Okay. You know all times better. You know what? This is not it's definitely not a gelatinous cube You know the fuck this thing Um is something kind of that has been studied around in your world that this thing whatever it is It is fairly passive so long as you don't Like mess with it. Okay I I'm gonna relay this Don't don't poke the slime, please Well, considering everything in here has been responding to a Bissell. Do you think it also speaks a Bissell? um I don't know if it's that small Also out of character doesn't notice us already You can see that it's got a couple of floating eyeballs just kind of like sifting back and forth around in its slime It doesn't look like it's taken notice of you Okay Do either uh one of you other two want to try to roll on it check see if you know anything else about it I will say that there's no way that We'll know anything about this Faizos, you know exactly what this is. This is what's called a glabagool No, a glabagool. No fucking no shot No shot. So so so what is a glabagool a glabagool is a kind of sentient and aware Oods that mostly tries to keep to itself Uh, it much like a gelatinous cube tries, you know eats on prey whenever it needs to to grow and consume And continue living on its life, but you know just like most animals if it does not see you as a threat Will not hunt you down. All right. No fucking way. This is a real goddamn monster and just images all over google for it God damn it. That's what I picked it because it sounded funny Yeah, that's hilarious. I will give you that Faizos will will kind of look at it be like We're fine. Just Be cool walk Right by it. You know, say hello if you'd like it's sentient enough might You know care about a greeting, but for the most part we should be fine. Just being non-threatening Which I of course excel at Attila will nod at this and make her way to the moss Okay, as you step on the moss, I will let you now Know now that uh, this is only relevant in combat because out of combat I'm just going to assume that you're going to do the careful thing and that is if you are walking on it normally Every space you move you will have to make a dex check or fall prone However, if you opt to move on it like it's difficult terrain You will not you know have to make that check so it is difficult It is optional difficult terrain with the chance of slipping and falling okay Is it a dex check every five feet or is it just check for that movement if you're like rushing every every five feet You step on it. That is not difficult terrain movement Yeah, okay, so you would have to use double your move speed in combat To get through if you don't want to risk that Yeah, honeymon is having a horrible time in her high heels um You see there's a huff and then latilla like reaches her arm back uh, oh I got you Oh, that's so sweet of you dawning honeymoon takes it and it grips your firm snuzzles Oh, and and just making sure as we're walking past it. It isn't seeming to get agitated at us No, in fact actually it looks a little intrigued And as you walk past you can see the floating little eyeballs and the kind of gelatinous bodies Slightly shift a little a little bit to the point where like it would have covered this space But the the floor of the body would still be here, but it's just kind of like shifting and moving inspecting on you guys as it is uh, kind of very intrigued by what you are It's a very curious creature. I would want to say a good afternoon in an abyssal It tilts its head to the side almost like it's tipping its hat Oh What a friendly cube Yeah, an abyssal honeymoon says just passing through Um, enjoy the rest of your afternoon It hurries behind Latilla. Yep Making her way on kind of wiggles a little bit and makes itself squat a little bit It seems to be sucking up some of the moisture from the moss Oh Stuck behind phasos because she refuses to get any closer to it Also at the mention of you saying that you were very good at being non-threatening she made a mental note of the uh Distance between your shoulders and went Although was that the first time we heard phasos make a joke? What's he joking? I don't think he was joking. That's a thing being entirely serious. Yeah. I know that's that's something that phasos would do I'm gonna make a mistake and just gonna say She's taking that as a joke All right, so you guys head up there You go up and you enter what looks to be like a large Kind of domey area and you can see that there are several statues Kind of around a large statue in the center. Yeah statues, huh? Yeah. Yeah statues I won't hide the fact that those statues got tokens on it. Yeah. Whoa crazy, right? They look like gargoyles That's crazy And you see a bunch of moss on the ground and you can see that there is Skylight coming from this area kind of in the back. However, it seems to be blocked by some kind of arcane wall Huh, so skylight, but it's on level with like the rest of the floor Uh, yeah, so essentially it looks like an exit. Oh, okay Oh this yeah Man, I love walking across the top of this rooftop. I really hope these gargoyles don't come to life I want to I want to look at that statue the statue. Okay Uh, phasos. You said something first. Uh, you want to investigate house? I would like to use my eye for detail, uh, to just spot, uh, see if there's any sort of Uh clues about this room And I use my investigation check to uncover or decipher clues Go ahead and let me roll let me roll that investigation So it's very clear even to the untrained eye that these gargoyles are definitely constructs like golems that were made by somebody Very familiar, uh constructs that you have seen in your world as well However, the untrained eye wouldn't notice that the statue in the center is another one of these constructs Oh god Uh phasos kind of takes note of that Be careful about the big statue It's just a statue No, no, no No Oh Okay, and looking into it you do notice that this statue bears a striking resemblance to some Some kind or other of an ancient hero that is mostly lost to history Carved into the likeness of maybe some guy that if you if you were given the name you would be able to nail who it is But otherwise kind of like a lost to history kind of figure I guess if anybody's a history buff. I mean, I have the skill but Yeah, uh, tibetha is far from history buff. Yeah, um Could I make a history roll just to kind of see if I might call this guy? Ouch Someone lost to time. You can't quite place the face Yeah Yeah So yeah kind of peering around the the big statue toward the the exit and then around at the two rooms honeymoon says Well, I'm going to make an educated guess and assume that we'll need to do something in those two side rooms to open the exit. So Where shall we start? Um Can we start on the side that doesn't put us on the moss? Yes, I was going to say that the left left side Seems left side seems fine All right So as you get over there you can see the gargoyles head like creaks and turns to look at you as you are moving And heading that direction like that. I really do not Appreciate the gargoyle stare. It otherwise doesn't seem to do anything else But uh, this just gives a little nod to it Honeymoon waggles her fingers at it and you know her is behind the other two Are all four of them looking at us or just the one that's closest? Just the one that's closest was looking at you They all are kind of oriented outwards from the statue like pointing to each and like respective wall Only when you were uh like past kind of this area in its line of sight did it finally like turn its head at you These are quite the security measures. Don't you think? Yeah, let's just hope we don't trip them you guys head into this room and as you uh kind of Passed through the fog of war of your you know line of sight You see that this room has a bunch of kind of copper colored stone tiles on the floor another one of those another one of those uh Glabba ghouls and another gargoyle kind of standing in the corner right over there Before we honeymoon enters the room. I would like to please roll perception You may or if if anything my 23 shows me anything You may Perception you look around the room you stare up and down you can see that these tiles you look at them It seems that there's a very very slight shadow uh like a crack underneath them. These are pressure plates Good Yeah, honeymoon quickly relays nobody step on the tiles the pressure plates And looking around the room. There are some very very subtly hidden kind of behind the overgrowth and brush holes Presumably to fire some kind of projectile out Do we attempt to traverse here? Do we go over to the other side to see if maybe there's a clue for this? uh Do an investigation to see if there's any clues You may okay Or if you could ask the fine fellow in the center there, I think he might be able to also give us A hint maybe he feels generous Yeah, so actually that's why the tiller was going to collect him some moss Collect some moss. Okay. Well first uh phasos is investigation. You look over these tiles You you kneel down to look at them kind of level them And it's hard to tell If there's anything unique about them that might give you an advantage right now Okay. Yeah phasos is uh going to sigh and uh defer to the others for Their attempts Yeah, well while lotilla is is scrounging up some moss, uh, honey and will cautiously call out an abyssal um, excuse me um fine fine friend, um Is there any way you could perhaps help us get to that hallway over there? And she she points to the hallway that we want to get to the glabagool turns its eyes towards you And it kind of looks over at the hallway looks back at you and it kind of shifts Its body around kind of like a rubik's cube and shows that on the other side, there's a bunch of arrows sticking into it Oh Oh, you're stuck here, too Hmm. Do you like moss? It kind of like does the the like Uh team fortress two engineer neck like stretch Oh And it its eyes kind of get very close to as far as it can stretch itself Is that a no I'm toasted to see what happens Towards towards you like towards me. Okay. The engineer says no Yeah, uh, I was gonna say it should be light enough that it wouldn't set off the pressure plates even if you miss Yeah, just do a gentle toss to the Glabagool Okay, you toss it and it's just like like, you know Like you toss something into a syrup as it slowly Droops in and kind of sizzles like an acid And uh, you can see that with this it's able to suck in the arrows that were in it and start to sizzle and digest those as well Oh Nice Good friend Man out of a conflict Just conflicted because out of character. Katelyn doesn't want to like use this thing as a meat shield and Katelyn wants to rescue it Haimun thinks wow, what a good meat shield Oh Faizus is going to word this actually as he had similar thoughts Um, hmm if it heals from the moss then perhaps we could use that to our advantage Continue to feed it as it finds its way through the maze Hmm, honey, I'm kind of taps her chin thoughtfully You may have a point mr. Gerean He cracks a very sly smile for a moment before immediately going back to a grimace at hearing Langley's voice She praised me, but she also spoke Tibet is gonna also gonna go back and scrounge up some moss and she's going to do so While staring this gargoyle dead in the eye to make sure that it's okay It does not seem to take notice of you and it's not turned its head yet Okay, she scraps up some moss She like comes back and handsome around it's like all right. Well, uh, if it's hungry, then we can just feed it as we go Yeah Very well Ask Yes, would someone please relay our request as it were Um, I mean, I'll do it. Honeymoon turns her attention to the The fucking gavel cool, whatever the fuck Uh and in the best all she says, um, excuse me. So um Would you be quite all right if we She pauses trying to think of a diplomatic way to word this Since you are of such an impressive size Um, would you mind terribly if you know if all of us cross the room and we kept you a nice supply of moss So that you could continue to regenerate. Um, would you mind terribly if we sort of traveled in your shadow? At the when you say the word for moss in abyssal like its eyes almost bulge out of the uh, the Oh my god Slimy frame that it has Well, I I think it's safe to say that this this creature is Really keen on getting its next moss fix. So I think we're good to go Very good well Um First we have to determine which way the arrows are going to be flying out of once we take our first step because Intuitively you would think it would be coming down this hallway when we step on those plates But it could also be coming from either the north or south of the room Yeah, presumably the global goal is coming to us. We would come this Could it come this way? It seems pretty dead set on staying on those four plates there Ah, I thought it was going to slop over I thought we were all going to slop this way and we were just going to stay behind it like head this way We could just toss things on the different plates well Yes, but do we have anything heavy enough to To trigger those plates is my concern Because we have moss but that's not really that that that heavy Yeah, honeymoon leans around the wall Uh And says and bestowed to the gargoyle in the corner. Excuse me. Would you mind lending us a hand? No response from the gargoyle. Well with a shot Who's got button in your pockets? Yeah, let me let me try something and tibetha's gonna try to squeeze past honeymoon and phasers And she's gonna get on the ground like prone and she's going to press her hand onto the plate You press your hand on the plate and That one specifically darts fly out from this wall into the glabagool Oh, I am so sorry about that here have some moss and she tosses some moss Okay, where do you toss it? I try to toss it forward like on forward to him on to him Okay. Yeah, you toss it and it sucks it in again like it seemed like it lost a little bit of its mass kind of into a More thin liquid at the bottom But as you toss the moss in the thin liquid gets sucked back up and so do the arrows I'm just gonna keep collecting Yep seems wise um Well, hang on. Maybe there is a trick to this um more so than just using our poor friend here as a jelly shield I mean, I don't think it mines really. I mean, it's in the bed Honestly, it should be happy to have work Thank you tibetha's so cold turns to him Listen, I don't I don't do alignment. I don't do alignment, but just for that sentence alone. I'm gonna say that phasers is evil Honeymoon raises her eyebrows because she doesn't She's not the same flavor of evil as your aim, but she's like Uh, tibetha having been aboard a pirate vessel essentially as a indentured servant slash slave for a very long time Being happy to have work quote unquote Uh, oh gives phasers the worst Look she can muster the girl's piercing daggers with her eyes and she goes Perhaps you should try stepping on the next plate then Are you so desperate needs some work? Don't you? I've been happily employed actually really Right now on a deserted island Honeymoon leans over and like puts a hand on tibetha's shoulder and says Oh, if he wasn't to cartographer, I wouldn't have a rival and actually I think I have an idea to um Just maybe speedrun this a little bit. Um So are we able to gauge about how much weight a plate can take before it activates? Yes, I would say with enough testing you can uh, tell that a piece of moss would not put the plate down. Um, maybe something like, uh A shoe would like a boot is enough weight to push down the uh, the pressure plate like a boot on its own Okay, maybe maybe not a sandal. Uh, I would like to wild shape into a tiny lizard Wow, all right. Yeah That will give you a light enough weight that you're able to traverse the Pressure plates without much trouble of pressure pressing them down. I see I forgot that you're druid So I keep thinking you're like a sorcerer. Nope. So, uh, you guys watch as honeymoon says Oh No, hold on I can fix this and you watch as her form just Just shrinks down into a little purple and gold lizard and she starts just oh Scuttle across So much more fitting. All right, show me the route that you take Okay. Well first one phase is that she she sticks her little lizard tongue out at him And then so she is just going diagonally You're going diagonally. So as you go diagonally the the uh, notices the small creature and starts to like hunt you And As it goes to follow this small skittering little creature It no no no lands on a few more pressure plates and does not take notice of the various arrows being darted into a As it's trying to follow you guys hurry up. Wait, wait, which way does uh, I keep going there So the arrows come from This wall because he was right here on these four. Yeah, you can only come from that follow through. Yes So, yeah, phasos is going to just kind of casually step on to pressure plates now As he's walking by toss his piece of moss Like on the ground next to the guy as he's been towards the lizard and then you know kind of yeah, yeah I'll I'll assume that you guys traverse with it and like squeeze past it in the And uh, yeah, it makes it here. Let me give you guys some room here and it follows lizard Honey I don't know if I need to go back across the room and I don't want to waste another wild shape And it follows and follows and follows and is there any point where you stop being a lizard? Um, not yet wait to see where we get so you're gonna try and block it. Yeah Moss just like right next to its eye to try and Moss right next to it. Well, yeah, like back and forth in its face in its face Well, you wave it back and forth in its face But it just like pushes against you almost like you're not even there and your arm starts to get sucked into The the goo like a syrup It doesn't provide much resistance I'm gonna it's like like a gelatin I'm just flitzing forward. She's trying to speed run the rest of this map. Okay, so you speed run It's not very fast So you you are able to manage to go in the next room you see more moss And more gargoyles and two arcane doors of a different arcane walls of a different color from the one that you saw earlier Okay, we're not gonna be able to reason with this guy anymore. Yeah, okay Keep keep pulling him into the room so we can actually get out though first There's so much moss here Yeah, honey moon is just he'll be so happy just skiddy dittering across Yep, and it it comes out and it notices the moss and it almost shoots its eyeballs out of its gelatinous frame And goes and kind of does like a like a spread of itself like it spreads itself wider But shorter and starts sucking up a bunch of moss absolutely Lizard moon like scurries back when she sees a good bacon just like skitters up to best pant leg Okay, um That it's probably also not a safe place for you Yeah, honey moon when she starts to roast skitters back out sees that the cube is no longer hunting her and she'll She'll she'll de transform and turn back into honey moon She's what she goes Oh my god, I didn't think it would start chasing me Oh, the phaser says wait that wasn't your plan You may be too prideful, but I can admit when things go awry Well, I got us across the room didn't I and she it starts looking around The question will be how to get back over Well We'll get there. We'll get there We'll burn that bridge when we get to it and she's uh, debathe's gonna go closer to this gargoyle uh not close enough within Melee range of it, but just like eyeing it from a safe distance So each of these gargoyles do you notice that their line of sight seems to be like towards their respective Walls so like this one. I don't know if can you see this arrow? Yes, yes, it's looking like that way. This one's looking this way and this one's looking this way And as you uh, kind of Go across it to beth it's eyes and face lock on to you and you can see like some of the Kind of stony chips stony pieces of its neck kind of chip off as it turns Get out of sight. Yeah, honey. We really gets off to the side He does not like being looked at or at least looking at us I don't think I'm that hideous, but you know Maybe to a gargoyle Which way was the other one looking? Right, I suppose we had best get moving We can try to skirt around them, but once we get to the far side I'm not quite sure how we're supposed to get past that barrier. I was hoping that these Fine fellows here would give us some kind of inkling of what to do, but uh while you guys are talking Um since this is a stony kind of cavern sort of thing it echoes throughout and you hear a voice in common And you hear the voice calling out. Hello, is anyone there? I'm in a bit of a need of assistance Hello, um, and it seems to be coming towards the south part of the room Honeymoon's starting to like, you know snake game her way around. Yeah, so you see your way around our way around You snake game your way around it and uh, touch the jello Not to touch the jello not to touch the uh The gargoyles The gargoyles not angry at the slime It doesn't seem to make any notice of the slime and as you go there you can see that these Walls just like the other one are transparent and you will see You see a very familiar creature that you've seen from your world an edder cap Oh my god. Oh, oh my Fight sir, are you all right in there? Oh, yes, finally someone who can understand and have intelligent conversation Perhaps you can assist me in my current conundrum. Uh, is the conundrum that you're trapped in that room I knew you had an eye for details. Yes One of my skills Good good, sir. Oh, um, is is that all right to call you? Oh anything is fine by me madam Wonderful. Um, what what could we call you? Um, ah The edder cap takes its long lanky arms and takes off its top hat to do a little curdiol bow Mr. Nice I am clad in hemsworth Bartholomew the seventh at your service And I'm in desperate need to return back to my nest so that I might return to shepherd my spiders That that was Caitlyn not honeymoon by the way Um, how did you end up in here? Oh well, you know I was traversing the surface world in in the brisk early morning as I often do in order to hunt for food for my spiders and Lo and behold, I found this lofty building knowing that you humanoids like to hoard food inside of buildings I took a trek inside and sap I appear to have been stepped into a magical trap of some sort You just walked right into here. Yes, that's the door with the punching. Oh, yes, indeed. Oh, it's very very polite that door Yes, we found that out So Have you any idea how we might be able to get you out? No, perhaps I have been studying these things for a little bit I'm not the most proficient at magics, but this wall seems to be made of some sort of Arcane array and can only be just spelled with magic of equal makeup and potency Uh, what is it that you humanoids called a key like that one over there? And you can see behind him that there is a floating kind of arcane key That looks green in color. You can also see that Beside him there is another room full of chest and treasure and gold Yeah, tebeth is uh, tebeth is like watching the others kind of trail off to the other side and she's like Well, you see that key appears to be of a greenish hue You probably need something more orangey to be able to get you out Uh, and then the fruit Uh Maybe and she's going to put her hand against the glass to see if that does anything since she is of a similar hue You put your hand against the arcane wall and it kind of stings you a little bit zaps Well, it can't be anything of just any color. So I assume we'll have to find the specific key for you Oh, uh, I did want to uh, ask you how did you find your way in here? Oh, you know we Real quick before phases moves away Um, I I just wanted like as we're both standing here looking at this room of treasure Can we both just kind of look at each other and just have a little sly grin of acknowledgement like two evil bitches being like Yes Mutual goal here All right. Yeah, sorry. That's it um So we we happened across the door like you did. Um, and we we we made our way around The gelatinous cubes and past the arrows. How did you get past the arrows? Oh, well, uh I obviously just climbed around. Oh, that's right. You can just be honest on the ceiling Of course these lanky legs. They they do a lot of good in helping me traverse all these although I'm not as surprised I used to be Um Well, yeah, so that's more or less the long short of it of how we got in here We we had to use the assistance of a friendly cube back there Well, I have the greatest of confidence that you are the most competent person that I've encountered while in the scenario so far How many others have you encountered none? I've been here for Oh, let's see. Um hmm just like Marks on the walls has to be keeping track He just takes one claw and kind of scratches his mandibles I don't know. It might be Might be a few days now And out of curiosity Uh, have you been on this island long? Oh, yes my entire life And I've been lucky enough to not be caught in such a situation such as this before but It seems my luck has run out Well, we'll be happy to spring you free from your predicament Uh, as soon as we find the orange key, of course. Ah, thank you much appreciated. Thank you. Thank you so much The sooner I can get back to my spiders as soon as I can lead them to their next meal Yo, I do hope that they're doing all right Yeah, honey, that nervously looks at the rest of the party hoping that we're not going to end up as his next meal for his spiders Honeyman kind of leans around to Beth and quickly says, um, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, you know once we've gotten you out of here Um, we're actually not native to this plane So if you could maybe tell us a little bit more about it, that would be so helpful Oh your outlanders you hail from the inner seas Ah the world beyond our own. Ah, yes, of course There's plenty of history about this island and I'm happy to share Just like I've shared with others of your kind before Before? Yes, so you've encountered others before us, but not while you've been in prison Not in here. No, I believe I've only been in here for a couple of days and my stomach is starting to rumble unfortunately, but You are a very gentle sort and have brought us so many riches like those materialistic things in the room beside me I didn't take much care in it as I have no need which is why I came into this room But um, perhaps it might have been a good bargaining chip Materialistic you say and and to Beth's eye start to drift over to the other door Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. We're here obviously to help our new friends. Yes. Yes. Yes. We are Um, well, I believe our solution lies on the other side of the statue room So we should probably start making our way back over there and figure out the Arrow trap somehow I wish it have been leaving stuff on the pile the orange stuff appear. Did he just walk in and it was there? Yes, according to his story. He walked in and it appeared as he entered the room. Okay. Thank you. Yeah I missed that somewhere. Oh good. I would like to ask him a question though. Go ahead When you climbed over, did you notice a pattern on the floor by any chance? Not that I could notice. Uh, it all seemed very Peculiarly similar whoever made that trap did a very good job of making them very uniform Props to the architect of this building Thank you. Good job I'm sure the the person who designed this building is very handsome and smart and has a beautiful singing voice All true, I'm sure Yes, we're going to make our way back. We'll we'll get back to you Of course, uh take all the time you need I think I can last a couple of more days and there to cap as a very very good nature of hibernating. I I think I don't even cause that if we're in here for days. We have bigger problems Um, oh you go ahead I was going to say as uh We're trailing out to beth is the last leave and she's trying to like Shimmy by the line of sight here of the gargoyle to peer into This room and she takes note of the bountiful treasure inside And their eyes start to sparkle a little She walks away. So as you guys enter that room, you can see that actually the glab Glabagool has left behind somewhat of a trail because of the fact that some of these tiles are not pressure plates Oh the ones that were pressure plates the the kind of slimy goop kind of sunk into their cracks However, you will notice that this one are all kind of like the the mucusy viscous fluid is still there kind of sitting that has not fallen into the cracks of it So no roles needed. It's just a way to show that you do have a path back and forth now. Congratulations Because you beat the puzzle and i'm not going to make you do it again Good phasers is going to take his long stride and hop and get there. Let's just start hopping honeymoon is going to Totter over in her high heels Very peculiar that there's that one plate back there that uh, oh wait Uh to bet halfway across realizes something and looks back at latilla That's how that just looks very determined Okay Do you spring spring like i was gonna say do you spring over or there's no jumping She's just gonna have to tank it Oh, no Well seeing as i'm giving you like the function of movement of races with legs I'm gonna say Functionally jumping works the same for you as the other races as well The worm so it's increasingly embarrassing every time you do it She she does do a weird handstand it all just like topples over her Yeah, for those for those just joining us latilla latilla is a yuan tea that we have homebrewed has a snake body Rather than uh humanoid legs You can make it to the other side very easily as you traverse and pass the line of sight of the gargoyles Once again, they crack their kind of head to quickly look at you as you pass them by Don't like that don't like that one bit But they don't look like they're breaking out. No, not not so far. Whoops. That's not the other ones Not the grab button and uh, so You go into that room and you can see that it seems to have uh, a floating Arcane key in the middle of what looks to be a pool of water And you can see that there are two, uh arcane doors Walls rather of a magenta hue over here down matching the same color as the key It doesn't look like acid it looks like very murky cloudy water Okay He would be even if it was normal water. I wouldn't want to touch it Phezos can use his tentacles his nut tentacles, but his inky tendrils Because it's 15 feet of uh, and as you do um You see a tendril come out of the water Kind of lash out and i'm gonna need you guys to roll initiative Just so we just so we can keep track. You saw something something in the water Something green and slimy Okay, first off is lotilla you see so Phezos you do have hold of the key I will say it will be a bonus action to pull it in because of your the interruption that you got From the uh, the creepy thing in the water. Yeah, there you go So, yeah lotilla you're up first. What do you do? I I still have moss Toss it over here to make a splash You toss it over there, okay, there's gonna be a splash and a ripple and we will we will wait until the uh, the Enemy turn to see what if they react to that or not Anything else you want to do i'll say that's a bonus action Okay, I I can't hit anything I don't particularly know how to help phase us at this time So I think that's I think I'll just move further into this corner and in my turn there. Okay to bet to beth is going to prepare an action to Shoot her pistol At the creature the next time it rears its head. Okay, that's all she can do. She cannot touch that water Okay, okay, this is true So you you use your action to prepare a reaction to shoot at anything that comes out of the water Yep phase those Hey, I'm gonna use my bonus action to slip the uh the key to me Yep, you sure the key to you. You know now have the magenta key Yay Cute doom music And yeah, I'm just gonna just kind of ignore the fact that there is this slimy thing and just Make my way to the door I'm gonna Just be Ready to open that door. I'm assuming that opening the door with the key would have also been a bonus action You can use a full action if you so wish. Yeah, sure. I'm going to Uh, touch the key to the wall you touch the key to the wall So the key kind of like forms an orb and it's consumed into the wall and it kind of almost shatters like a pain of glass And the arcane pieces dissipate into the ether Okay, no, there we go. That's my turn now. It's the something slimy's turn Oh, no, and the slimy's first the first one comes up first uh Next to honeymoon. No put it back And it's going to lash at you with a tendril to bet yes to that view bang fire 12 is not enough it it it has a scrawny frame and it is going to You you just miss So, I'm sorry. Sorry honeymoon your ac sucks and it is going to Whack you with one of its things for six Slashing damage and I'm going to need you to make a strength saving throw I'm not good at those Joseph Crazy, huh Okay, it tries to wrap around you and you can feel that it's trying to pull you into the water However, you were able to kind of break out of its grapple and the second one It's going to pop up as well And swim on over to phasos To try and do the same thing. It's going to lash out. Phew Oh, believe it or not. It hits you uh And uh, so you take You also take six damage and I'm going to need you to make this strength saving throw Oh, he's hopefully better at those. Yeah Oh no You are pulled into the water Right after you like Put the key in you just feel this thing wrap around your neck and pull you into the water And you are now suffocating Simba at first goes. Oh no, and then she like remembers for a brief second what happened in the other room. She's going Oh no All right so uh Since you are suffocating, uh, what is your constitution modifier? My constitution modifier is plus three three. Okay in three turns if you do not get air you will fall to zero hit points Okay, so this is this is turn one Honeymoon your turn Uh, okay. She's freaking out a little bit. She just got slime attacked and barely avoided getting dragged into this gross ass water um So she's she's kind of frantically looking between the two guys at latilla at fazos now underwater and she thinks Yeah, like i'm supposed to hate him, but also he's like The like one of the mussels All right, honeymoon is going to take the disengage action. Uh, she's getting far away from the fucking water. Um Can I can I make one of those marshal checks perhaps? Yes, you may. Um, so I think uh perception check Oh gorgeous. So you're pretty good at those Oh, I might just botch again. No, I didn't. All right. So these things are also something somewhat familiar to um Your world, uh, which these are called chokers. They are very agile. However, they are not very hardy Just if uh one good one or two good hits on them will incapacitate them very easily But they are very agile and somewhat hard to hit They also have a slight range as you saw with both yourself and fazos They mostly try to use their environment to secure their kills rather than their own because on on their own. They're not very strong Yeah, um Honeymoon will will yell out to Well, I'm fazos can't fucking hear he's underwater. She'll yell to latilla and to bet um They're fast and slippery, but they should go down in a few good hits has no nothing she can do this turn So She wanted to be in range of not getting hit Makes sense So yeah, I think that's me latilla I'm gonna move over this way You don't want to hop in the gross disgusting stagnant water not currently now If I have to get fazos out fine I'm gonna throw a trident at him. Okay. Show me the trident Ooh, that's enough. Let me see the damage Yes, all right. So you throw it and and it just like goes in and See, yeah, it it breaks the um Kind of focus on fazos. So it lets go of fazos. You are no longer being held Um, so you won't have to make another uh saving thorough to try and get out of it But you are still suffocating, but it has let go of fazos Yes, you are still underwater and uh, so this one just with that one hit you can see this thing is like nearly dead Nice, that's funny. Anything else Oh, I can I can throw another Yeah, get in there Actually, I think I'm just gonna how many tridents do you have? I have two. I'm gonna need to fish that out So this round I'm just gonna throw a dagger and hope for the best. Oh good I mean, we found a bunch. Are you proficient? Yeah, uh, yeah, you're a you're a fighter, aren't you? Yeah, you're proficient with everything. Unfortunately a 16 is not enough Rock Wow, honey, when you see one fly by you. Yeah, honey means like oh That's my turn. All right to bat your turn to uh upon Latilla making the first hit on that guy. She's gonna breathe a small a small sigh of relief Thank god. I don't have to say fazos. Okay She's going to take a shot at this one Oh, good to be uh How many musky balls did I have again you you used one you said five left. Yeah, okay four left Okay, just making sure I don't want to keep I want to keep track of that. All good. Um, so I'll make an attack on that boy Not enough ouch No, the shot because you know, I've never really used one of these things You've got a pistol in both hands. Yeah, pretty much good Um And uh, that's all she can do. All right, the fazos you are under the water I would say you need about 10 feet of move Uh, yeah 10 feet of movement to reach just get up to the surface Okay, I'm gonna get up to the surface and also go to the the guy. Oh gosh I'm going to attempt a uh one of my big old punches. Okay. Give me a punch Put a chad However, I am going to action surge action Let's see it try again. Let's go And as I have hit him I now can Immediately I'm able to grapple him because of my uh tavern brawler So when I hit with an unarmed strike, I can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple the time. Let's see the damage Yeah, I don't know if he's gonna live long enough to be grappled. You're right. You're right I might kill it, but I do want to do it to where I'm basically grabbing this thing by the neck Well, I just want to fucking Lift all the water. I'll show you strangling So what you do you do you do you pull a Thanos infinity war loki where you just grab it by the neck and just with your thumb just Oh, oh god He you know he let's go and it's just like Please grab the trident Yeah, I grabbed the trident. All right. Yeah So I'll say you can pick up the tridents with a bonus action. Okay. That's my turn Okay, and seeing this that it's now outnumbered this one is going to dive back into the water And retreat Combat's over. Good. It's gonna watch it whenever we come back through phases climbs back up Wicks wicks some water off his suit and holds the trident out for uh latila Thank you Thank you Uh, tibetha is going to like gently like look over in the water to see if she can see her musket balls that she missed Those are probably lost aren't they? How deep is the water not one to find out and she's just gonna keep on going honeymoon does uh Before he just before phases can stop or just like dust off his shoulder and druid craft some of the water off to piss him off He for a second he goes that Uh Honeymoon laughs out loud at that All right, as you go into this room Hey, look more Oh, this is the worst thing that could happen And you can see across on the other side of the room. There is an orange key Sure is wait. They're also two goggles over there Um, they most certainly are May I roll perception as I inspect the water see if I fucking see anything? Yes See if you have I'll take your passive perception if this is lower Um To see if you can get like a 30. Okay with your passive perception of 20 20 whatever the fuck Um, you can see that there are subtle ripples in the water and I'll let you know here I'll draw it out That there it is here and here So everywhere Yeah, honeymoon, uh gets everyone's attention, but specifically law tell us and she's kind of the team's swimmer Um, and she points at all the spots and says I can see some movements over there. We're not alone again She just like anchors herself and like puts partially her body in the water so she can look under Hmm. You look under and it's very very Difficult to see it's not dark like darkness dark. It's dark like muddy dark Oh, it's hard. Yeah murky. There's a lot of particles in the water that are blocking your vision. It's like water fog Yeah, she comes back up. It's too murky to see it's nintendo 64 water when you're under water to cut down on the draw distance Yeah to bet noticing that there's more gargoyles Uh, is going to get in line of sight of this one If it's looking this way you can see that both of these are kind of looking in diagonal It's kind of like this Okay That is the cross section of the revision well, um Latilla whenever you do happen to make your way across just that point about there and she points very like Indirectly almost it's just like over there, you know about 10 15 feet out from the other side, um Just dip under the water a bit so you avoid the gargoyles Oh, you think i'm going to be above the water Well, I don't know how you swim I would like to as lots if as lots of us kind of preparing to hop in Uh, I would like to just kind of lay a hand on her shoulder and say Uh, in case you need it and I I will go ahead and cast guidance on her it leaves a little shimmer on your shoulder Okay, you know what I think I will like She'll hop in but she'll stay above just in case she gets grabbed. They're aware Yeah, if you go under and you just stay under we won't know Yeah, so you keep in mind the places where honeymoon pointed out where the chokers might be Yes, I Yep, I would like to just be like I can make it here and then I will yes Like go around here. I will duck under. Yeah. All right. So you go about there And as you make it to yep, keep going Oh, sorry As you make it to that spot You feel something lash out at you Okay, and we're gonna We're gonna keep the initiative for simplicity's sake because I don't want to make you guys roll again First up is you blotilla. You feel something lash out at you. Let's see if it hits you It does not it should But you you do kind of feel the ripple in the water Like the wave of the force kind of hits you as you can see this thing's trying to attack you now I would like to grapple it with my tail With your tail. Okay. Uh, no reverse. That's right. We homebrewed you that grapple feature You mind putting in the chat once again so I can be reminded of what it does. Yeah, it will be relevant Yeah, so your grapple has range So it's it's basically saying when you grapple because grapple itself is a is a thing So when you grapple so your grapple has range plus damage compared to normal grapple Yeah 10 feet so you can grapple from a range with your tail So, uh, yeah, you can make me an athletics check to try and grab this choker and it's going to try and slip out Yeah, and you can add a d4 to it He he he that d4 save you Thank you. Okay, so you grab onto this thing that you feel that you can't see it But you feel something wriggling and trying to get out from your tail you have it And uh, so your damage is your unarmed strike and what is your strength for? It's I have this as an attack. I It's a d8 plus four Oh, because you have unarmed attack. Okay. Okay. Cool. Yes, then. Uh, yeah show me the unarmed strike As you constrict this thing like the snake you are Squeezing. Yep. You are squeezing it like a like a rubber chicken. I do that twice since it's she's got two attacks Um, does that count? It's an unarmed attack. Yes. Make me. I uh, you have it grappled So just give me another unarmed strike. All right, you squeeze it and you feel you just and you feel it's limp body just like and As as you let go you guys can see the choker body rise to the surface. It's dead And then so does latilla Yeah, honeyman's like oh She's effective. Yeah That's what I was trying to do And then she's gonna duck under to avoid the gaze okay and come back up Okay, okay. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Let's see how much move how much movement that was you started That's okay. There's uh here Yeah, you have just enough movement. Okay, just making sure You have just enough movement to make it up there slide up And that's where she'll end if we're still in combat and they're all rushing me Um, yeah, that's where uh, you then okay to bet anyway your turn Yeah, I she looks around. Um Can she notice any of the ripples moving? Um converging as pointed out by honeymoon. That is where you Were told they are Um, I would say another check from honeymoon would be needed to see if they have moved at all Okay, well as before she's just gonna prepare an action the first little shit that pops out of the water Let's get a nice little musket ball for breakfast. Okay, okay fazos, uh, yeah fazos is going to um Also, why don't you splash around or something trying to draw their attention? It's actually not a bad idea Yeah, he's gonna he's gonna splash the water with his hand to see if he can uh, you know stir up some sort of a reaction You splash the water with your hand Give me a performance check great Really really sell that you're a dead fish Oh You can see ripples in the water Of where they are now. I'm just gonna show them like so. I don't have to keep drawing stuff I'm gonna show where they are. Whoop this one here and this one is over here You can see that they were all kind of converging on lotilla as she was swimming through Oh I'll say that's a bonus action great bonus action for that. Um Yeah, I'll I'll prepare my action for if, uh, any of them get within, uh, you know 15 feet of me. I'll Lap them with my my ink Okay, next are the chokers so They are gonna come on close to the edge and gonna throw a lot of attacks at lotilla Uh, at least the ones that can make it there He's still under one right drawn to phases. Um, oh, yeah Oh wait, that is what it was for Okay, it wasn't just to see this part. Yes, you were right. You were right not to just okay. Yes You are right. It is drawn to phases. It's gonna come over here This one is also going to be drawn to phase us. I think it was like here. So it's gonna get like Yeah, they've got a lot of swimming speed Thank you for reminding me of that. I totally forgot. I was like, oh I was just like wait a minute. No, yeah Thank you for for letting me know Now did they pop out when they came towards me? They do not but you can see where they are based on their tendrils that Slash out from the water. So good firstly lotilla That's not that's oh No, you're able to like dodge and weave and as like all three of these tendrils that try to lash out at you You can see them coming Do any of does any of this? Uh trigger my reaction Yes, I will say since all three of them are kind of attacking simultaneously You can pick and choose which one you want to fire at I'll go for the the one that's right here in the middle Okay, it's a short assistance Take a shot Quick Oh, please don't hit me You just like into the water can't quite tell if you confirm that hit or not I'm pretty sure that hit him, right? And she looks over at honeymoon honeymoon is is Giving her a sympathetic look That's not reassuring Does all I can do does my reaction go off to the ones near me or no? Yes, you may use your range tendril, uh, so they're gonna attack you one of them. This is one of them hits Um, I'm gonna let you do your attack first just in case if you potentially fail this strength save Okay, so yeah, they They have to actually make a strike saving throw. Oh For like grasping tendril put that in there I'm not saving from you. You're saving for me Oh Wow, it's like a it's literally a counter grapple. Yes Wow, okay. All right, uh the one That misses you. Um fails. You can roll your 3d6 Okay, well it it goes to lash at you and your tendril just like grabs it by its tendril and throws it up and it just Splats on the ceiling and dies Whoa Fantastic This looks pleased by this like you you simmered like one of those like, uh, those like funny silly sticky hands, you know The rubber the rubbery sticky hands and you just threw it and it just splatted on the ceiling There is true fear Into beth's eyes Now does this happen for every creature that's attacking you or just one? Uh, it is Well, I can only do it to one creature at a time So, okay, okay So the other one it does hit you it rolled high enough to hit you So you only take three slashing damage where you're gonna need to make a strength save as it's gonna try and pull you to the briny deep Yeah All right, you're fine It tries to pull you in but you just like take one hand on its tendril and pull it away from your neck And just like it slips out of your hand, but you can feel it shaking a little bit honeymoon honey moon, uh It wringles her nose at the last guy and is like, I don't want to be in range of that She's gonna back up over here and then she is going to Uh produce flame at it Oh, okay Uh See if we get him Okay, so you don't get him, but yeah, uh, this is fire damage. You throw the fire And because this murky water is so nasty It lights a flame. Oh my god. Oh what? Like like an oil just like all across the surface And you can see like some splashing in the water as all the trokers panic and flee from the surface and they deep dive in Honey moon with With her hands still extended eyes are wide, you know the tips of her claws still sparking But then uh as she's watching the flames go across the whole fucking pool Uh, she she she she just smiles smugly and flips her hair and says Very good wish you were me well to bet Draw drops and she looks back at honeymoon You mean I could have done that this whole time Set the goddamn water on fire Okay, okay She's gonna start walking away up to this hallway. She's kind of done with everything I'm gonna set this on fire now Okay, honey moon calls across the burning water Uh Lotilla everything all right on your end Yeah, the fire starts to slowly burn itself out as um Kind of it takes the oxygen away from its current area But oxygen does come through the cracks in the ceiling like I said that's lighting up the place So the air is a little thin in here, but the fire does eventually burn itself out But it is gonna hustle to the key And then slink back under and try to get across you grab the orange keys The pool is a bit warmer than it was before Yep, moving quickly So you guys now have the orange key and I'm gonna be transparent with you Yeah, let's up to Beth I was I was gonna say Like as the the team is regrouping and like coming back down the hallway they see to Beth with the cast flame on her hand and just like Like jabbing it into the water to set it aflame you jab it into the water and just like the other one It lights up like a bonfire Like a blanket of flame I am so Incredibly distraught Because you didn't realize that the water was flammable Yes, okay the thick Oily water Well, we just thought it was sludge Yeah, I mean, I guess I could have been like, oh, you know the fire that I produce is magical in nature So maybe it won't get quenched so easily. I could have thrown a fireball But no, I was seeing this shooting a pistol that I've never used in my entire life Well, you used it on the ship. That was the first time All right, you guys can go ahead and put yourselves back in the room Now I'm gonna be I'm gonna be totally transparent so that you guys know what your choices are here Whichever door you choose to open Will not open the other one Yeah, I was thinking I was like, uh, it sucks to suck. Latila's got the key. Yeah Oh, fuck that you may but because of uh table etiquette I'm going to say everyone gets a vote on where it goes because this is a party decision Oh It will turn into a pvp though. No, it won't because I won't allow it Wait, really? Yes. Okay. I will say you have to go along with it. Your character your character doesn't have to agree with it But you have to go along with it Just out of just out of respect for your fellow player on a meta level Oh, I thought that was a pvp setup. No Okay, no, okay, unless unless both, you know, whatever players are involved like choose to want to have a fight and are agreeing to it to beth looks between phasos honeymoon and latila uh And she kind of like That's like that nervous like scratch the net kind of thing. She's like so One door, huh? That's what it seemed with the magenta one Honey honeymoon is is racking her brain trying to decide whether it's more useful to get the easy treasure here Or get this guy out when he could potentially be useful and get them to the actual like goodies of the golden k That's where latila is sitting. She's just We would we would fare better with a guide. He's a local Uh Yeah, honey honeymoon who we can actually speak to even Yes, and As tempting as that treasure over there is it's only How deep are your current pockets? Well Yes, it's only a tiny fraction of what we're sure to find if we go in deeper Uh, phasos is going to look at the longingly long He's gonna stipple his fingers honeymoon joins him in gazing long Tibet is going to longingly gaze at both of them longingly gazing Into the treasure because there's only room for two people over there Sit on sit on honeymoon shoulders Yeah, do you want me to hold you up? No Oh, sorry, honey You know If phasos wants the money that bad Then is it really the right choice to go? She says as she says to latila as she's looking over at the other two Yeah Yeah, honeymoon honeymoon is pouting next to phasos deeply Uh, and she she just kind of says, um Oh, I know it's more useful to do the other thing, but it hurts to let it go. It's so pretty Indeed In this y'all are in agreement Oh, so it would seem We may be Yeah, she she kind of looks up and and she's like We may have a contentious working relationship mr. Jurem, but we're quite alike It seems so And her her pal does turn into a slight little smirk and she'll go back to rejoin the gals Okay So resigningly allow them to make the other choice. So yeah player votes. I'm going down the list Latila Clyde or treasure Clyde to bet Clyde or treasure Clyde honeymoon Clyde or treasure I phasos treasure Well, you've been outvoted unfortunately. Yes He knows but he wanted to say yes He staunchly says we should do the treasure, but he agrees that if everyone else is going to do it He's not going to challenge it You you slip the key into the wall And whoosh the arcane wall vanishes opening of the path not only to Clyde hemsworth bartholomew the seventh, but also the green key He throws out his arms. Oh a thousand times. Thank you. I not Shall soon forget this generosity. I owe you my life as well as the life of all of my spiders I do hope one day I can introduce them to you that they may shower you with many lovely kisses Hmm Phasos kind of grimaces for a moment before regaining composure. Yes, I'm sure they'll be uh very appreciative And that will be very useful. Don't worry darlings. He calls up. Don't worry darlings daddy's coming home And he's going to bring you such a large meal. I hope you like four Clyde Oh, yes. Yes, of course. We're leaving. We would like you as a guide So Of course With feeding your children, please meet us back at the door Oh, yeah Well, it might take me a little while to head back to the nest But if you're willing to wait, it should only take me about half an hour to Go back there and then head on back. I'm very fast with my claws. You see I'm a very good digger That is perfectly fine Yes Very good Sure well Madam pass Yeah Thank you. He he kind of jauntily walks out. He fixes his bow a little bit his bow tie and uh Gives you a little tip of his hat and walks on out. Yeah, I want to get the key this time Then come on. Yeah, I don't even get it. Yeah, honey. Todd is over. I'm genuinely surprised and proud of you guys I thought you were gonna go with the treasure. They're not dumb. It wasn't an easy decision, Joseph Considering the characters that you made I thought you would you really would if it wasn't for the fact That phasus made the comment earlier that he did That tebeth is spiteful enough to hate him now instantly She would have gone for the treasure and we would have been at an impasse And honeymoon sees she's getting the guide out as a way to get more treasure in the long run. All right You pick up the green tea And you are able to head to the green arcane When you do exit this hallway Yeah, you see the statue moves And takes a step down From its pedestal And it stabs its stony sword into the ground and speaks in common In common. Okay. Okay You allowed that Etter Cap escape Yes, did we not? Was he imprisoned for a reason? Interesting Yeah, I mean it's Etter Cap with the top part. He is kind of interesting I have been watching you My perception of you has Changed For the better. Yeah and like a good way No response. Yeah, honeymoon just like leaning around uh phases this massive shoulder She gives the smile of that like one dude from America's Got Talent or whatever where she's just like Come on Come on We shall see Oh The stony statue walks back up onto its pedestal and resumes its position And all the gargoyles fall and crumble to pieces We solved the gargoyle puzzle It was to not be evil Well Yeah, at least not to be completely blinded by greed And I assume you put the key into the door it vanishes And this might be a good stopping point, but there's a little bit more how much time do you guys have? I know we started a little late. I'm good to keep going. Okay. Uh Yeah, I can go a little bit more. Okay. What like maybe an hour An hour. No, no, okay. Hmm 30 minutes Yeah, we're gonna call it here, but uh, yeah, awesome. Uh, thank you guys for playing. Uh, this was good
