 You all narrowly escape the quickly falling portion of the island that you once stood on With your lives intact and your allies none the worse for wear you head inland towards the volcano Where the treasure and presumably your salvation awaits you run through sections of the jungle catching Glimpses of more parts of the island both near and far falling into a black abyss in the crusts of the outer seas While massive quantities of water from the ocean rush in to fill the endless blank Blanket of nothing Creatures both familiar and foreign cry out in panic and birds litter the sky in a frenzy of non-direction And as you start to head more and more inland the rumbling starts to settle for a bit over an hour of Careful, but harshly hastily travel traveled land you finally find yourself at a resting point and Before you stands to be some kind of set of ruins That looks familiar to those that you would see in your world in terms of architecture and Also very similar to the dungeon that you survived the day prior spicy See a honeymoon. She still has she has like the two Not Koroks tugged under her arms like chickens and if you imagine she's now that we've kind of come to a stop She's kind of a little bent double because her strength is subpar. So she's a little winded And so she's holding them like panting with her eye heels and she says This place looks quite interesting actually I'm not quite sure. I think we just kind of started running and happened to place Looking at the map you can you were following kind of directions both on the map and you know what you got from Clyde and You are fairly close to The foot of the volcano where one of the entrances supposedly are just a little bit more north and you'll make it there honeymoon She's gonna set down the the two little guys and in a Bissell She'll say do you have any idea where we are with those places or used to be? they all look around and kind of a couple of them go kind of mimic sort of human motions like walking up to the door and like one of them looks like it's like waving at each other Almost like neighbors Used to be a village Whole village on the silent humans I presume perhaps it's those retirees Adventurers and whatnot might have settled down here for a bit though given the state of the place It must have been a very long time ago Would it be possible to do some perceiving to just to kind of see what clues I can gather just generally about like how Old these ruins might be Yes No role needed perceiving these These buildings you can tell that they are just as ancient and old as Kind of the dungeon that you guys came out of at least a few hundred years However, you do notice that Some of the pieces that seem to be missing look like damage recently some of the floorboards some of the pieces of wood Whatever it was here seems to be salvaged away, although not to any good use Perhaps as how useful the materials here are is questionable at best It is all rotted wood and molded stone and the like You are also going to look at the well As we are walking together So this well honey moon Honey moon pauses for a second taps a nail to her chin and says And then it's visibly trying not to smile honey moon, I'm gonna take away your inspiration from No, no, I'm kidding I'm kidding Honey moon laughs But yeah, we're we're looking down there. I guess is there anything in the well you look down And it doesn't take long before the sunlight catches a muddy Kind of bottom of the well. That's not too far down. Actually is like a short climb could reach the bottom It doesn't seem like this thing has been in service in just like the but the village years decades even Whatever maintenance that should have been done on this would stopped decades ago Tibet you wanted to do something. Yes. I wanted to explore this little house here. No, you guys are good You look through and similar to what honey moon kind of just looked at at a glance this place looks old and worn out however the architecture very familiar to you something made for humanoid such as yourself of Kind of medium-sized the height seems like a good to accommodate most of you It seems like a living quarters of some kind Is there any signs of like personal belongings or anything like that? You can give me an investigation score if you so wish score, okay, I have Plus one to my investigation plus one to investigation Pushing over some of the debris and such and looking around You do seem to find Very very old furniture very old weaponry again like humanoids from your world would use some rusted old swords of which the Metal has been tinged and rusted and you know the handle of which where leather straps would be have long since decayed Seems perhaps an adventurer lived here. It's about this going to make her way back outside Lotilla same thing the building you found seems to be living quarters of some kind as well very humble perhaps of Someone who maybe didn't need all that much very minimal with the amount of items in here Just like a living room and a washroom Well, this at least seems like a stable enough piece of ground for us to regroup and think about what our next plans are indeed Yeah, honeyman looks to to sharn Just to kind of see what her thoughts are so far. She looks around and she just kind of catching her breath I don't like to look at this place, but I don't really care anymore I just want to grab the treasure and get out of here. I'm not leaving any empty-handed Agreed and The theodore just goes I'd be okay with leaving empty-handed if it keeps me alive Let's you keep your hands. Yeah, he's not doing so great in that already. What's another one? As you guys head to what looks to be the square of this area you hear a voice that is unfamiliar to speaking in common You are not worthy a fray although the voice is unfamiliar the phrase itself is we It wasn't the uh, the big statue didn't know the Kraken said that didn't it the cracker. Yeah By what means are we not worthy by the means that I can see within your hearts and In the middle of the square as you guys start to approach you see what looks to be Kind of dirt and dust kicking up from below kind of druidic magic of some kind and in its place Stands a humanoid that looks to be an owl in of a tall stature cloaked in Earthly toned rags and wielding a wooden staff of some sort and Their face seems to be Still like a statue and I think I have a portrait for this Yes, I do But I will not show it yet Teasing us Yeah, honeymoon kind of squints at it and says and Who exactly are you? the owl in like almost Lifts itself a few inches taller. I Am that which bore strength against your ship? I am that which tests your metal in the decrepit stone structure. I Am that which watches you as damage to the island is irreparable and it pulls down its hood ever so slightly. I Am the Guardian Oh Wow, you have come with that Dragonborn captain. I have watched you I can see into your hearts and they are as impure as his I Cannot allow you to go any further Physis kind of scoffs at this. Yeah, honey. We just kind of purses her lips So you sense an entire kraken after us The is a bit overkill the owl and looks down anything for the protection of the island To beth nervously looks at the other three knowing that this man has the capability of just summoning whatever You know gigantic beast that he can at a moment's notice He goes well You see our captain's that way and we would like to at least retrieve him before we start making our way out The island squints a bit and you expect me to trust you Yes Right Have we not proven ourselves beneficial to the ecology here, did you not see what happened with Bartholomew? And did you not see that whole thing where to beth made us stay and rescue the residents of this fucking island? The island The Guardian tilts their head a little bit and Stares through you honeymoon You think me so foolish as to not understand your intentions. I've been on this island long Long before your ancestors even crawled out of the mud Honeymoon bristles and does step on faces foot with her heel before she turns them back to the Guardian And she says She Honeymoon after you know bristling she'll kind of Sashae up a little bit kind of put a hand on her hip and just kind of giving him a very just just a Subtle glare She goes, you know If I had a gold for every nasty old culture who stood in my way, I'd be a millionaire I Alone would give you quite a few thousands at least yeah, and honeymoon will say Okay, you don't you don't have to have that was a good enough line I want I wanted to have dialogue in response the Guardian just the Guardian looks down and disappointment always about riches I Am wise to you outsiders the inner seas are full of greed and dishonor Those who do not have a shred of goodwill and the Creator what makes the book that keeps your captain alive and safe Was too naive to see this. I am not so foolish So the captain is alive Yes, even now he plunders The heart of the island you can hear a little rumbling Yeah, and honeymoon at the rumbling raises her eyebrows and says oh So instead of dealing with the guy who's actively plundering your precious island and you'll hear harassing us He looks down a bit in sadness The book he holds wards against me as well as any dangers the island may inflict upon him It was a safeguard created by my master He who also created this island so that those who come to pay tribute would face no obstacles in doing so And that was a creation reliant on the benevolence and secrecy of outsiders that I spoke out against during the island's Conception and of which I've never dreaded being more right. I May not be able to stop this rack morn, but there is only so much harm he by himself can do You may be telling the truth, but the risk of you lying is too great There is only so much damage to the K one man can do if I allow anyone else to do as he does You'll risk completely destroying it and I will not allow this I need you to look me in what you what I you still have and start Look in what you see in my heart and the only thing is gonna tell you is I'm getting the captain that's all I want it looks to you lotilla and It shakes its head. I need not look into your heart you auntie and I see it Unfortunately, I still cannot allow you to go either You are not a threat to this island Phasus kind of looks at He stares and kind of up and down it out of my way old man I don't even suppress this as snort Yep, and you can see sharn also looks equally annoyed and she speaks up I don't care if I'm worthy or not. I ain't leaving this island without a nick of coin and You can see that Theodore looks very uncomfortable with the energy we produced in the in the in the island Yeah, so Beth looks back to Theo and Looks forward also to lotilla and it's like well I'm perfectly comfortable with not leaving with anybody Or sorry not anybody anything But I would very much appreciate getting our captain back so we can at least leave in one piece Yeah, no, and then she's gonna Get up next to lotilla lotilla and to Beth both of you give me a persuasion check I bother with you and phasos. Yeah, no As you start to walk up The Guardian kind of holds their staff Outwards horizontally to bar your way and looks to lotilla and to Beth. I am sorry You can reroll a d20 die you may Can't do worse than a one Another one though Let's see. I didn't do worse. Well, that's true. Yeah persuasion. Just don't do a one, please Bingity-bongity bingity-bongity. Yes The Guardian still holding the staff for it again for the second wind the Guardian holds the staff still and Closing its eyes looking down not only will the destruction of this island be shame on me It will be shame on you for You may live But I worry if your soul will come out in one piece be gone with you and a bunch of dirt and dust rises up Consuming the owl in before it vanishes from sight oh He just looks over at Good job. I've been really bad Just looking at the spot where he used to be and now there's just ground. Yeah Well, that's a good inspiration. Yeah, that was yeah, that was hard Yeah, honeymoon still kind of just frowning and annoying like well, I Hope they don't come back to to haunt us farther into the island. We don't all have the book that the captain does What if we get to the captain will be close enough to perhaps that protection will extend to us Yes, and then quieter. She says all Or he will no longer have the book with it with a meaningful kind of like Raising of the eyebrows So yeah, honeymoon looks at her at her two gals at sharn and Theodore and says well, I suppose we had to best be off Yes, I I don't want to stand around waiting and to find out what happens to the island what the captain steals all the treasure and Sharn starts to walk up, but Theodore Stays where he is a little bit and kind of twiddles his fingers, you know, I Don't know about this About what? I mean I'm not gonna tell anyone about the island. I'm sure you guys aren't gonna tell anyone about the island, right? But other people are gonna be looking for it What if we leave this place and we become targets, you know, and people start hunting us down and and Try and wring information out of us and stuff. I don't know that I want that kind of attention Maybe saying you want to stay You're more than welcome to stay on the island. He shrugs his shoulders. I don't know maybe I mean I've got folk back home, but Maybe that guy it was right Maybe we shouldn't leave and Maybe the world is better off not knowing about this place Well, they do already kind of know about it though is the thing whether we get off this island or not people will still know about it and Say that we don't go after Rackmore and you know, we decide to stay here and Rackmore leaves Successfully having brought the ridges back Does that not mean that he then is the forebearer of all of this? He kind of rubs the back of his neck. I guess maybe this is all don't sit too right with me It's all I'm just kind of a little spooked Regardless of if we stay or not, we have to stop the captain before the island gets rent and to he slumps down and Comes along with the group There's a good boy. Oh Oh, you're gonna awaken something in him I'm so sorry God My goodness So you guys gonna continue to head towards the mouth of the volcano then at the foot of the volcano not the actual opening at the top Yeah, if possible, I would like kind of mean to do one last just sweep of the area See if she catches any lingering signs of a the guardian maybe lurking around or some other thing You sweep through and it seems as though As far as you can tell you are left alone But sweeping through and looking throughout you can see that there are some Recent usage of tools Uh, just like how you notice there are some recent usage of kind of the wood and resources and materials around Kind of recent damage. You also see nails hammers and the like that are not rusted over Yeah so yeah, I mean Thiebie boy could make a little life for himself here if you wanted Honeymoon files that away Files that away of I'm not responsible of this man dies by Zolon on island. Yeah, honeyman files that away into I'm not fucking staying here. So who cares? But no as far as you can tell no physical sign of the Guardian remains Okay All right. Yeah, I just wanted to do a last little uh looksie Inky So you all head up slightly north Just a little bit towards This hill that as the terrain starts to get steeper and steeper as you get closer to the foot of the mountain What lies the volcano that spews golden smoke stacks? And then you see it the entrance You can see a deep dark tunnel and at the end of it a dim gold glow Hmm Well That looks promising Indeed. I feel like we're Finally making it somewhere on this journey Sharon kind of cracks her neck a little bit and it's about damn time Oh, yes Are we all prepared to head in then? I suppose this is it. Yeah Honeymoon checks her nails and her shoes arbitrarily for dirt and says as good as I'll ever be Theodore pipes up. I'm not but Let's do it anyway That's the spirit I mean fine. There's a lot of us here Yeah, and I mean theodore if you don't want to go inside you can stay out here He doesn't have a response to that So you guys head inside Yeah go onwards And You may scroll to the bottom so welcome to the cave entrance into The golden caves Volcano Hey, it's one of those little chicken guys Yeah And then gargoyles, uh-oh Yeah, well We're a little more genre savvy now You guys are in the cave We turn it up. It's quiet And you can see that the place is dimly lit by kind of cracks in the ground Where you can see molten volcanic light from the bottom And uh, yeah, it's dark and dingy to the point where uh those without dark vision Although you'll be able to navigate just fine for ease of exploration on a meta level in combat Who doesn't have dark vision actually? Let me ask that first I don't think I have dark vision. Oh, no. Is phasos the only one without dark vision? I'm sure. Um, I'm checking. I don't think I do. Mm-hmm. Oh, that's right. You're genasi Well, you might know five genasi do because I remember you see things in like shades of red when it's dark. Yes. Yes All right Well that unfortunately means that phasos you you can navigate just fine But your attacks will be at disadvantage unless you can find a way to produce light of some kind That's fine. Yep. The cave talking to you The cave echoes with cries of lost creatures and Crackles of tumbling rocks The entire island rumbles as more and more pieces of the cave fall into the water Oblivion below Can we see which way the gargoyles are looking? Yes, you see that they seem to be looking directly at you Following your movements like sentries All right He's supposed to pose at the guardian still watching us, huh? One way to find out actually someone else honeyman starts to go does actually somebody else go first Um, also I wanted to to mention fragile phasos phasos does have in his equipment um A hooded lantern Oh, okay. Yeah, okay. That'll be a thing that'll be in your offhand. I presume. Okay, cool. Yeah That's kind of a delightful idea phasos with a lantern just So, uh, it will mean that your offhand will be taken up so you can't make offhand attacks Sorry, just I'm just imagining imagine you're in a dark cave You see the lantern glow and then out of the darkness you see jeffrey fucking bezos holding a hooded lantern like low light like Stark shadows just imagine it and that's what's happening. That's what's happening right now Good, it's true. It's about to give me a ted talk on what's cool and what's not As preparation latilla does bring out a shield and I'd like to inspect this line here Okay, you inspect the crack Uh, the molten crack where you can see some heat rising up from stepping on the kind of around it Does not seem to be all that too much It however, it does feel a little bit uncomfortable in its heat and you learn that If you during combat if you end your turn standing on any of these Glowing orange spots you will take fire damage. You will take one d6 fire fire damage So so long so it is safe to move over so long as you don't stand on it Let's say we're like don't stand on these for too long Just very well She will slide on over When you slide on over immediately The gargoyles start to attack I'm gonna be rolling for the npcs as well. Yes, that is awful. Okay So I'll just put npc turn on the initiative order and No, they actually rolled a one Oh So, uh, yeah First up is phasos I gave to bet first. Oh, uh, there we go. First up is to bet already. Um, well, I guess she's gonna Um, yeah, she's gonna saute her up to it's a lot till I hear and she's gonna go ahead and take a whack at um Demon boy here with her rope dart She has 10 foot range. I think so she'd be able to hit him from here. Okay. Okay. I think you might have scooted in one more Okay There you go. Ping bong That's damage. Yeah, it pings right off the stone skin of the gargoyle. Oh, wait. No, that's damage. Yeah, that's the damage You roll damage. I see. Yeah. Oh, okay. Nope. That's it. Okay. Yes. It Punctures into the stony skin of the gargoyle. Oh, yeah, and then it'll just I'll just take the the buff as the damage for it Yeah, the six if that's okay for sure. Phasos your turn All right. Phasos is going to let's see how far can I get Okay, there we go. There we go. Okay, so that he's within 30 feet of me. So uh, phasos is going to uh purposely walk forward with his uh hooded lamp Then get to this point which is 30 feet of movement and he's going to deck this gargoyle in the face Check the gargoyle in the face. Yeah I'm actually gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna do one of my rages for this combat just because why not Let's start off with a rage um, which I uh Do I Here I'll put that in there so that it's there um, and then I'm going to punch um Is that ouch and then it gets Let me see Okay, so it's it's not attack. So I just did the 12. Okay Unfortunately, you go to punch and you feel a little bit of a crack, but you don't make headway with your fist It stings a bit Okay, that's uh, that is all I can do lotilla. So yes All right, uh Night need to move to buff Just pick her up and just shove her aside. Yeah I mean you can move Why would you need to move her? Yeah, I'm about to get big Oh, I mean won't that just automatically move me? Sideways or you could come over here. Yeah, that's what I was thinking Come over here and then she's going to be giant May I see the feature? There we go. Thank you giants might very nice Yeah, all right. Yeah, that's all right because I forget that you can do this It's I like it a lot. It's a very fun class All right, you get large Oh god Very nice, uh And that is a bonus action. Yep.

That first one will hit the second one gets The second one will not show me the damage for the first one There we go. Yes, okay You stab into it and a large chunk of stone just breaks off of this gargoyle To the point where you can see that you've broken one of its arms off That it was getting ready to launch some kind of projectile towards you She flicks her tongue out at it Then that will be her turn. All right Honeymoon, all right, I'll scoot forward just a little bit uh and then since uh Yeah, tibethen lotilla have that one handled honeymoon Uh holds out her hand in like a a bright like white gold flame kind of dances on her fingertips And she's gonna produce flame at uh This this yarn gargoyle There's produce flame Bing Bong Oh that will hit however when you throw this fire it kind of like Almost puffs off of the gargoyle. It does make a little bit that it's resistant chip a few. Yes I was yeah, it chips a few pieces of stone off But uh does not seem to do as much damage as you thought the storm gargoyles are resistant to fire damage Yeah, honeymoon just Dang it. I knew that Well, yeah, I think that's uh, not really much else. I want to do it with my bonus action All right next are the npcs turns and i'm gonna start with the gargoyles the gargoyles are going This one is going to throw a flurry of stone darts in a line Then i'm gonna need phasos and honeymoon And sharn to make dexterity saving throws No, don't do this to me Nice.

You're just gonna take six and sharn is also going to take six 45 This one instead is going to take lift one of its fists to slam the ground For an ability that is going to Lower the dc in order to beat it because it doesn't have its other arm So lotilla and tebeth you're both going to have to make Constitution saving throws Oh hell yeah, I can do that Maybe As it slams its fist into the ground and Makes a loud booming noise from itself almost like using itself as a bell You both take A whopping four Thunder damage Oh no And you can see all right this wretch over here seems to be panicking a little bit and Running against what looks to be a bunch of boulders blocking its way scratching at it So sharn is going to pull out one of her pistols and going to fire at this gargoyle Uh it goes wide just a shot and a miss And Theodore Is going to stand and panic Okay Tebeth your turn All right. Well now i'm going to get into or actually Now that lotilla's in range of him. Does that mean I get sneak attack or do I have to get Yep, it means you have sneak attack now Hell yeah, all right Well, then I'm just gonna keep my distance and then I'm gonna use my my little rope dart again to take another swing at him Ooh very nice Let's see Let's see. Oh wow you take You kind of pull out your rope dart that was embedded in it and throw it again Almost like in an arcing motion that slices off its head and it falls to the floor And it just crumbles to pieces Very nice Well, that was some good teamwork there lotilla. You get a thumbs up Did she say that or did she just like no, sorry? Heather says this but you are okay very large thumbs up Alrighty and that'll be my turn Phasos, all right, uh phasos uh continues to be angry.

So eight you punch it and you kind of like make a big old dent as a Few pieces of rubble crumble from the gargoyle. Good job. Um, I just have a quick thing Was the damage I got uh earlier, uh Bludgeoning piercing or slashing it was bludgeoning. So you would have taken half. That's right.

You can wash that off No, I can't if you die walk it off Yeah, okay uh honeymoon um Yeah maneuvers over that way hops over the The uh the magma lines, uh points her Two fingers at the the remaining gargoyle and says That was rude as hell and she's gonna guiding bolt it. All right. Show me the guiding bolt I have been ignoring my extra d6 damage Oh, yes, you guiding bolt and it blasts the whole through right through like The shoulder and chest area of the carvings of this garbgoyle to And a crumble speaks All done Thank you Yay And combat is over seeing as the wretch does not seem like it wants to fight On the contrary it looks terrified and also desperate as it's clawing against these boulders Over here and a giant snirsen slowly blocks his path It's gonna try this in a missile. It's just please move It uh kind of backs away and kind of almost hissing trying to make itself look big Compared to la tila right now compared to la tila. It is very clearly scary and shaken But it's trying to put itself kind of a face But yes, you can see there go for the rocks you're gonna lift it Before you do as you do, uh, honeymoon Uh Gives you a gentle slap on the ass and says good luck in cast guidance She's a snorlax Yes athletics with advantage and you may use the guy and you may add the guidance as well I have gives me three I have advantage from strength automatically. So yes, that's that's what I mean. Yeah, you get advantage from your bigness So fat is making noises it was actually very good. I want to see okay That uh phasos is still raging for like the next minute. Yeah And that means that he is Okay a dirty 20 you lift it up and it's a little unwieldy But uh, luckily you kind of pulled it well enough that you are able to maneuver yourself So that it doesn't fall on anybody while the rumbling of the island kind of Tests your balance and strength with these but you're able to unblock the way Leading to the next room And as you do immediately the wretch starts to bolt it for the other side of the room Over there Okay next to those barrels And you also see that there is a pile of treasure Various coins from the age as you can see even just from a glance that there are some very old Minted pieces in there from ages long past but can still probably be worth their Uh weight in gold if not more Anybody gets past me. She's just gonna say I'm willing to bet that that's cursed Please file it an orderly manner to the rocks Are these gargoyles immediately hostile no, they don't appear so however every single one of them seems to be staring directly at the gold I have a limited window of time where I am large so I am moving Excuse me. Uh-oh Yeah, you try to shove that one around make your way through I can give you another guidance if you want. I wouldn't mind it Honey man, yeah, I'll say it hasn't been a minute. I'd say you guys are moving hastily enough You don't have to worry about like reapplying buffs. Yeah, honey moon gives you another guidance can for it So I can only do it. Yeah, you want to help? I would like to help Okay, so lawtilla and phases lawtilla will be rolling at advantage. Um, I will also be rolling in advantage Oh, that's right because you're raging Both of you roll at advantage Uh athletics Beautiful beautiful Okay, you guys almost make it a competition that like phases holds his own fairly well And is able to pick up like boulders of a competing size to the ones lawtilla is at her size And you guys like kind of toss it aside avoiding the gargoyles, of course Very handily Throwing them against the wall and stuff and the wretch does not seem to be bolting it that way And you reveal the next room Before before we move on you get like this very excited gust of air as lawtilla goes to give you a high five Faseless is surprised and uh, accepts it Sean looks impressed at the both of you and just goes remind me never to bet against either of you in an arm wrestling match Um, what if it's those two against each other? Oh, then I just I just think it's a nice show All right, tibet Uh, I was gonna say, um, can I take a A quick look at these barrels that are here Yep, because they don't seem to be attracted to the gargoyles either You peek a look inside and you can see that there are Various kind of food stuffs that seem to be preserved with a magical sigil over them Hmm interesting. Uh, she's gonna make a mental note of that and keep on going with the rest of the crew Oh didn't mean to grab you How's uh, how does this room look? So you head into that room and you can see that there are various Uh piles of gold various more uh barrels Various more gargoyles And also a few of the strange creatures that you saw outside You can see that they seem almost as if they're trying to reach each other but are struggling to Pass something like they seem to be kind of like restlessly hopping back and forth in their spot looking at each other waving I would like to reach for this one This one, okay And uh, it sees your hand and it kind of does a little knock against its masky face Unsure as to what the gesture means Uh abyssal grab on It holds on And she lifts Mm-hmm, and you have it in your hand You have lifted the thing and as you start to head that way it immediately hops off and stands back in its spot Kind of like in a panicked motion and kind of pointing frantically in that direction To this guy? Just in that general direction Gotcha, okay Uh, I have a quick question joseph. So this is where people would leave tribute if they were doing that I don't know Okay Based on context clues based on context clues probably not Okay, then i'll hang on to the hat Good thank you. Jesus is seeing all this treasure Um, and he he's he's uh, he's kind of speaking to himself Yeah honeymoon is Honeyman's keeping a poker face, but her fingers are are twitching a lot So when you make your way over there right there Got it you slither over and Too late for you to notice You see a magical sigil right underneath you that explodes and i'm gonna need you to make a Wisdom a wisdom saving throw and everyone's gonna roll initiative I don't have any of that Wisdom no none Incredible just like me Well, that's okay. All right Yeah Also to beth I know you were waiting it seemed like you were like waiting back there for everyone to be finished So if you want to position yourself a little bit closer, you can before yeah, i'm gonna i'm gonna be right here. Yeah. Yeah, all right I'll move the NPCs aside Getting the wall Theo Uh Lawtilla may you roll again Uh, because I guess the game hates you and didn't want to put you on initiative order Oh, I didn't think I was on initiative. I thought the wisdom save was something else towards that. No, uh, you're gonna roll initiative as well It does hate me, but it does and as the blast surges Uh, your wisdom save did not make it so you're gonna take the full damage A blast of ringing kind of visions and flashing visions in front in your mind As you are shown the horrors and just like destruction that has Seen through the history of this island Fill your brain more than you can handle and you take 20 psychic damage Okay, and you can see that uh now that you've done so it seems as though the panicking from the Kind of little creature seems to subside ever so slightly. Nice job. You triggered the trap for them Phasos All right, so Did I notice a change in any of the uh gargoyles or anything or did I just see an explosion happen on Lawtilla? The gargoyles just like the previous room seem to be fixated on the gold Phasos is going to Get let's see Let me just make sure I can yeah, I'm gonna get right right there. Mm-hmm Sir for 30 feet of movement and as I'm getting close to this Our girl You're gonna check it out. Is it reacting to my presence at all? It doesn't seem so it seems As though just as still as any old statue that so happened to be carved and situated in a way that it's looking At the gold in the center of the room Okay And I well, I'm gonna I'm gonna check on Lawtilla. That's what I'm gonna do because he did just explode in my eyes What just happened there exactly are you still good? Bad heart Just kind of like sits back up because I just imagined like she kind of gets knocked flat backward And so she sits back up and I think the island's life just flashed before my eyes. That was terrible Oh, there are our sigils in the floor avoid those Okay, Phasos is going to take that advice and is going to try to Suss out any more locations for sigils on the floor. Hmm Uh, perhaps Well, I don't know if that would be any kind of role Maybe maybe arcana, but I don't know that that's the same thing Yeah, actually investigation because you're looking for traps. Why not? Yeah, um, do I have Actually because I don't I don't think I got uh, I think it kicks in at level two. Yeah. Uh, oh well, okay So I'm gonna go ahead and make my investigation Okay, looking around you don't really know where another sigil might be if there even is one I can take care of that on my turn. Well, then I'm going to uh, make a reaction Uh, to where if anything, uh seems to Um, you know come towards me and any any sort of enemy coming towards me. I'm going to punch it in the face Okay Good action I'm gonna say for the sake of it. The minute has passed. So she's probably regular sized again Just because that makes sense. Is that is that is that uh, no That would mean my rage is over. No, I wouldn't say the minute has passed It's probably close to passing but you guys are trying to make your way through so you're good Okay, I Can I do an investigation just to see if there's I can find anything next to the rocks since I am a ruined person Go ahead and investigate just check in front here Yes, you want to check in front for anything in particular or just like generally sigils Am I going to blow up if I continue forward? Okay, looking about you can't really tell but you do draw upon the previous understanding that, uh The strange mass creatures did seem to panic a lot more Uh before you stepped on that sigil So they're think so could have been I got the biggest one So she's just going to step forward and hope for the best. Okay. Do I blow up? Uh, you do not blow up. You're fine Yay, you're totally safe. Can I try lifting? I'm going to say yes, but that's going to take your action. That's fine Give me athletics with advantage and you and the Trying to kill me yet. All right Let's try some rolling Okay, let's see the advantage see if you crit. Okay You do it handily you move a chunk of the boulders though not all of them aside There's still a few more blocking the path. Can I move forward? Um not enough to not be in the hot floor Okay, then I will take a step back. Yep, and I will end there Very very very good. Oh, I will have one less comment in case it didn't carry Watch for the sigils on the floor to make sure everybody's got that down Yeah, so the NPCs turn uh the little mast fellow Seeing that you blew up the sigil that way is going to make its way over there and start running towards its friend over there out of skittering and scampering and Let's see. These two are going to try and look out for sigils and Sean just kind of looks around I don't know. They could be anywhere and you can see that uh Theodore finally Gaining the courage. I I think there might be one There and he points kind of in this direction Yeah, if that's the roll around for the turn honeymoon has a little bit of snappy dialogue Sean just looks at him and just like are you sure and he goes No But that's where I would put it honeymoon your turn Honeymoon as these two kind of go back and forth. She sighs sausage. Oh, whoopsie Uh Sasha's up past them and says Not to worry. I've got a handle on it and she's going to cast a tech magic Ah All right, if you sense magic in any way you can use And I concentrate up to 10 minutes uh up to 30 feet away So I'm just going to carefully traipse about with my you know uv light as it were All right, and you can tell that there is magic. I actually have an icon for this. I'm pretty sure Whatever, I'm just going to draw it then if I can't find the uh asset So you can tell that there's a sigil not where Theodore put appointed There's one here almost as sizable as a lot too less and Yeah, there seems to be some kind of trigger Let's see You do feel as though there's in there is a enchantment right there and That's it Yeah, okay. Honeymoon will I've got a A little bit more movement so she'll Oh come on click on the right thing. Oh, okay. So yeah, you can move closer. Yeah one two three and kind of get over there Not touching the gold. Mm-hmm. So, yeah There's a fade and you can see one more enchantment Kind of underneath the boulders Right here Ah Honeymoon will immediately be like uh, little tuna do be careful with the bow. Does there's a sigil underneath there I appreciate the one And there's also one over here and she points at the the one down here And she looks back at at theo and sharn mostly looking at theo and she says so don't step on it He just Slumps his shoulders a little bit and looks down in defeat. Yeah, um I'm not really I can't do anything else. I don't have any spells that are a bonus action. So I think that's me to Beth okay, well So we only know about these two And there's no indication of anyone being over here. Is that just because the range of this spell? Well, yeah, my range is 30 feet so I can get out to so yeah She would know that all within 30 feet of her that is what she sees in terms of magical stuff Well Gargoyles aren't attacking us. There's only two sigils. We have to worry about so Tibet is just gonna Make her way closer to uh, what's over here? Very nice, that is it Would you like to prepare an action or anything to use on a reaction? um if the gargoyles um start attacking us She would like to prepare um A dodge action if that's possible. Yes So their role if an attack roll against you will be at disadvantage Yes phasos all right, well Seeing as your rage is unfortunately over my rage is now over. Yes um He his breathing kind of calms down uh, he knows about these These these potential traps um So let's see. Yeah, he can go here. He's gonna try to lift some rocks away from the trap and then Step back five feet. So he's not on the fire. That is his current plan. Okay, you may do so Okay, I'm gonna do my athletics without advantage this time 21 oh very very nice. You move it out of the way and make sure that it doesn't land on anything and as you do The sigil goes away So I'm gonna let I'm gonna let you guys know how well you rolled for those athletics because I was gonna say that um Anything lower than 20 you would have disturbed the gargoyles Oh You would have gotten the rocks out of the way, but you would have disturbed the gargoyles but You did it with such ease and precision that like it's no trouble to move it to where it doesn't hit any of the gargoyles So well done Okay, so you guys clear the final boulder of this room And you open the path To the entrance into the volcano And as you do um, you can see that these two mass creatures are reunited and they're getting the hecky out of here As they should good no more question These two follow you along And I would say about About now would be when your thing goes away lotilla like it would be about a minute now And as you guys head forwards the rumbling and shaking of the entire island gets more and more drastic And as you head right there I'm going to need everyone To make a dexterity saving throw as you start to see a crack in the ground Underneath the foot Your feet the ground in which you stand starts to give way Oh god Bye guys Okay So let me roll for the two NPCs Okay So here's what happens Here's a sequence of events in which unfortunately are out of your control Oh, no As the crack underneath the ground Kind of opens up You all quickly leap ahead to safety as The ground is swallowed by a large hole Phasos you were able to make it to the other side To bet you were able to make it to the other side Oh no honeymoon and lotilla sharn and theodore You lose your footing and start to fall Shit However quickly you hear some high-pitched sounds of squealing and skittering As you are caught In a web Oh, oh, but sharn though. Oh, okay Sorry, I forgot where I put the blame And you hear echoing kind of from the shadowy abyss crawling out of the wall digging itself out is a header cap There you are friends. I had hoped to uh help you along as the island seems to be breaking apart I'm so happy to see you. Oh my god. Thank you I've I've still got your hat. I'm waiting for the right time to drop it off. Oh, thank goodness And as you he is quickly trying to spin his own web and tightening it Unfortunately While rolling deck saves theodore had rolled in that one Oh, oh god No As he struggles to try and hold on to the webs they start to snap due to his struggling He starts to fall And quickly leaping forward Clyde jumps to the other side To spew a large glob of web against theodore into the wall And unfortunately, he is not able to get a grip on the walls with his claws As he is struggling to keep himself up And sliding down as the abyss starts to take him you hear the echo of his voice Please make sure my spiders are safe Oh no No come on Shit Clyde Yeah, honey honeymoon does like swears out loud That was too many failures and costed An important person their life Yeah, honeymoon trying to orient herself on the web just kind of Pitches the bridge of nose and just goes Fuck And you can see a few of the spiders that are staying at the sides holding on to the webs and Respewing trying to keep it strong and steady for you guys As sharn and theodore quickly try to make their way over to the other side before it starts to give way Yeah Lower her dart and try to help people up Oh much obliged And as you go the uh, it's just Enough time before the webbing just kind of starts to fall apart from your weight. It was barely holding you up It just kind of looks down into the abyss He uh, you know puts a hand to his chin regrettable, but A good sacrifice We should keep moving You can see theodore has a hand to mouth speechless looking at you and he almost looks like he wants to say something No longer scared. He narrows his eyebrows at you phasos, but he doesn't say anything Okay Are any of the smaller spiders still on our side? They are you can see that they line this wall now kind of like skittered from the other side Of the webs as it kind of starts to dissipate and be sucked in To kind of the the air that is pulling downwards as the island is sinking in this crack And they all just stare downwards into the abyss Oh Back into them to come to her Oh Mommy lotilla You see give me an animal handling Okay Can I saw some guidance on her? You may if you if you wish honey moon honey moon sees what's going she did eavesdrop on the conversation about how she had kids I can't get an advantage to the 17 plus uh the d4 Advantage where'd the advantage come from? Uh one of my specials one of my uh ruins gives it to me. Ah Okay, and I would go ahead and roll a d4. May I see it? It fuck the thing. Yeah the ability let me find it Click it and I show Awesome Yeah, so your check is an 18 And a lot of the spiders come and just kind of like seem to take comfort by Your hand including the ones that are about as big as you However, they do seem to kind of go about their way as there's other business that needs to be doing except for one That stays on your hand. It looks to be a tarantula Oh And it stays in your hand and kind of curls up its Uh little legs to lay there It's so nice to meet you That's god Man this sucks Yeah Like in like in a good narrative way, but also yeah, but still how a bummer way How a bummer As you guys head in You are nearly blinded by a bright light of not only gold But also walls that look like the sky Oh As you head inside The volcano proper and You see this What the Oh, baby, that's a lot of gold inside the volcano You can see that the walls seem as though they are projecting an image of the island outside of you to the point that um For convenience I would say that even if you did it later Um phasos you would have a complete layout of the island from this And you now have a full map of the golden k Whoo, whoo Mm-hmm You see some jaggedy peaks a little bit more to the north as well as a swampy area kind of even further north as well Ooh And as you head in you can see that the entire place is shaking mounds and piles of gold Line the place as well as barrels crates vaults weapons crowns gear all over and kind of At the top of it all a portal and your captain rack morn Standing as he is piling Equipment and gold and riches into a makeshift boat that seems to be made of old rotting wood As well as a few new pieces that seem as though they're in pristine shape You are free to move and immediately sharn sees him and calls him out Captain And the captain looks back to you. Hi, it's me crew He seems elated and throws his arms out and starts to walk towards you all Honeymoon takes out Clyde's hat and is uh Given the fact honeymoon may be a stone cold bitch, but she respects a sacrifice for her on her behalf So she is looking for a proper place to put this hat down. Mm-hmm Uh, can may I roll perception see if I find a place that looks suitably like important and cool? You may And bingity bongity So You know the perfect place to put it Which is about up here Kind of in on this pile mound of gold Kind of a centerpiece almost as if it looks as though This is a centerpiece of the place as this bears a striking resemblance to The constellation you saw in summer Yeah Pull that thing up. Oh Okay Interesting and as you lay the hat down you can see on the projected image on the walls of the volcano That a section of the island starts to rise up Ah completely barren and only full of sand dirt and coral but a new piece of land nonetheless Starts to fill one of the holes left. That was an impressive tribute ah Yeah, honeymoon Yeah, she'll hold on to that. She's gonna go keep eaves dropping. Oh not eaves dropping Just taking part in the conversation with the captain and see what he does On a lot to let's comment The captain speaks up. Hi very nice Makes me feel a little less bad about leaving this place in the condition it is Well, it seems like if you leave something of yours behind this tribute, some of it will reform itself I does seem that way, but unfortunately I've got too much important things to get to keep with myself Especially Seeing as my ship has gone and you can see on his back as well He seems to have like tied around the only kind of Piece that has survived the ship, which is the helm He is now tied kind of around his chest and back sort of like a back piece With rope tied with rope Where did you land? How did you survive? Ah It was two three days ago. I woke up on the shore All by myself I did see signs of other crewmen, but I don't think they survived the harsh wilderness It seemed thanks to this book. He pulls out the same book that he had earlier that it seemed It seemed a bit of the locals Didn't want any quarry with me and read them through it. I learned a bit more about this island What with a guardian keeping? Protection over it and all these magics keeping it alive and more secrets I've yet to discover but it seems as though it's missing some pages I was scouring through this room for a bit and perhaps some of those pages might be hidden within here Whatever it is. I think it might fetch a pretty penny or even more Whatever powers that are held within this secret magic Hidden away by this island. I hope to discover it There won't be much of an island left to discover He looks at you to bet Aye, it's true, but listen We came here for a specific quest and I aim to fulfill it and then some there's an artifact hidden around here An ancient relic of some kind of far flung lands Some kind of royal family's heirloom the sword of some kind If you wouldn't mind perhaps you could help me find it and bring it back, okay? Well, I must say I'm very interested in this artifact myself. So Let's have a look see shall we Aye and feel free to take any bits that you can hold into your pockets Or any that'll fit onto the ship what I've made put together with whatever scrap I can find Any points to the boat that he has put together? It's got a rudder Uh To steer and a very humble mast and then sail. Yeah, honeymoon looks at it with a raised eyebrows Is I hope this one will survive the journey better Oh Yeah, she's not trying to be mean but like the last one the last ship was way nicer and got torn the fuck apart He yeah, but it was also his baby He seems to give you a slight glance honeymoon. It doesn't say anything He continues to dig through The piles of gold pocketing every you know every now and then a few Handfuls and as you do you can see the island kind of being displayed around you rumbling as small pieces Of it start to sink more and more and you can see that um sharn starts to do similar although without as much zeal and Theodore once again looks very uncomfortable, but this time Kind of a little bit mad. There's anger in his eyes where they're once were none There's the would you join me for a moment? Without saying a word just eyeing his his captain walks to you with purpose in a step uh, meanwhile honeymoon Sasha is over to phasos uh, basically to Show him the star map and it showed just kind of just just in passing Not so you know not to look suspicious, but say I'm going to check in these in the spots constellation rocks for this artifact I see Perhaps I will uh do the same at some different points Yes And yeah, honeymoon will she's gonna Start looking. Uh, she's gonna start at this top right corner. Okay and phasos is going to go to um If I'm reading the map correctly is this this kind of area one of those uh things or is it this one? I'm trying to kind of piece it together Mm-hmm those Things yeah, he's gonna or in yourself Where you think might be it's the location that you want to be in trying to Kind of orient it that one I'm gonna say Let's go To this one Okay, and then we'll be here and while you guys are searching Lotilla and to beth. What is the conversation you are having along with theodore? If those pages are in here, I'd like to find them Want to find out what the rest of the book says I would too, but I also don't want to risk that causing more of the island to fall apart Yeah, I think he's only falling actively apart when people are shoving gold directly into their pockets Theodore kind of looks to you. Yeah, I I don't know about you and I wouldn't say nothing bad about the captain But I don't know that I can stand by this Me neither He really needs to at least He needs to depart with one of his Belongings, I would imagine whether it be the book or the mast One of them has to stay Theonauts we might be able to at least help if anybody if either of you are willing to give up something Oh, I don't have much on me Anything important to me was washed away when we were took into the maelstrom. You've got the rest of your fingers His hands are His fingers probably doubled in value since he lost some The island already took tribute. That's fair All right Just see if you can't find the pages So latilla and tebeth, do you wish to look through the pages for the pages as well? I know latilla would go start seeking for the pages and I don't know about Theo If he's gonna be able to But uh Tebeth is gonna do something else She's going to go And look for a nice spot to rest something Okay Where seems to be the most like from the the map that we can see where seems to be the most damaged part of the island um On the map, let me pull up the map It seems to be bits and pieces that someone with that phobia of holes Would uh definitely run away from phobia. Yeah trip to phobia. It looks like a trip to phobia is nightmare Well, then she is going to go approximately where she can gather, um The edderback eddercaps, um Home was Uh, and she's going to deposit something there Which I imagine would be somewhere around this section ish What do you wish to put down? um She is going to pull out um A necklace that she's been holding on to for a while. Uh, it is the last remnant she has of her mother As she was a jewelry maker in the port Uh, and it's been with her on all of her travels across the seas far away from home um And she's going to go probably I guess It would be in that vault there would be The closest to that forest on the east side So she's going to go over to phasos unfortunately. I don't think we ever went we didn't go on the east We went to the west by the river has been west. I thought I thought his I thought his family stuff was on the east side No of the dungeon but not far east like yeah, it was still in like the jungle in the middle bottom Okay, okay, then I'll go down here. Yeah. Yeah, so you you place The trinket down and you can see kind of in that area where there were holes rises a mountain That brings kind of pushes out a lot of the water and you can see some birds kind of flock away from the ensuing land now being built Wherever you are. I hope uh I hope you can feel the presence that's in love with the earth providing to this island You serve me very well, and I hope to find you again But uh for now this part of you will be here And uh, she steps away and uh goes over to rack morn Tibet you gain an inspiration for that You can see rack morn kind of sifting through it seems that his pockets are full of coins So he's trying to find any other specific items and you see that he Finds a little lock a little like portrait Kind of in a cracked picture frame pulls it out And he kind of goes oh I recognize that That's the old king before oh before the alliance was formed This place has been around for a long time He pockets the small painting And you can see another section of the island goes down captain I miss ocean song um I do believe you're Taking quite a bit here, uh, and she gestures to the boat Uh and his pockets um Is there anything of yours that you would like to leave behind so the island isn't Sunk into the bottom by the time we leave You can see for just a split second his eyes dart a little bit Kind of to the mast on his back or not the mat the the wheel the wheel on his back and he just uh Fanes a smile. Ah, yes, of course And he takes off his hat and tosses it over to the pile of gold Barely a bump on the island I mean the tricorn have been along A long journey together captain Respectfully you and I both know that hat means nothing to you He she she She like looks like she looks behind them essentially to to signify she like she's talking about the wheel He puts both hands on his hips Listen miss ocean song. It is true I I'm taking quite a bit of treasure and it is taken quite a toll on the island, but let's be pragmatic for a second It's either it or us And i'm not so sure about you, but I choose me hmm your survival and and and livelihood sure, but I don't see how an old shipwheel is Key to that he steps down from the oh, sorry you finish first Uh at the very least you know that or the book He steps down from the mound of gold. He was on and kind of towers over you Looking down as he is like face to face with you. You hold your tongue miss ocean song It is more than an old wheel Then it seems worthy to place it here where it will be remembered While the stare down is happening. I'm going to go back to honeymoon and phasos as you dig through and honeymoon as you are digging through that pile of treasure you do find A page of the night uh of the book it is represented by a book because I didn't have the asset to put a page It's okay, but as you go and go to reach for this page you hear whispers in the back of your mind as their hand gets closer The whispers get louder Okay, are there any whispers I can understand? They are too garbled you can give me a wisdom check Or a perception check actually if you so wish better 17 there it is it's hard to make out, but there's a various just Just see your voices. Ah, they're basically the same a sea of voices fill your mind of various conversations Just like a crowd of people talking you do make out Like a few one voice that you recognize the voice of the guardian who seems to be talking to some other person warning them against something And warning that this information is too great to be left in the hands of the people of the intersees Well, honeyman's here to prove i'm right she grabs the page you grab the page the island starts to rumble a little bit And you see flashes of visions of the creation of the island rising from nothing in The intersees your world before An image of it vanishing Just completely gone with a bunch of ships now docked in complete open sea being pulled into a hole where the island once was And your mind you get a slight migraine for a split moment before it's gone cool Uh, what can is there anything of note on the page itself like in writing or illustration? Yes, it is kind of a garbled mess of an old dialect, but in abyssal Speaking speaking of the various different kind of effects of what it's called creation magic And it seems to have something to do with how the island was formed But you don't have all the pieces Yeah, honeymoon will tuck that into her her boob into her bra. Well, she doesn't wear a bra I was like wait a minute her little dress Uh, and she will um Maneuver over here. I was gonna say what is she gonna hold it like david hasselhoff in the spongebob movie? No, but yeah, she talks it into her, uh top I was imagining more that like she just has like a zipper on her chest and she just Tuck that right in there awful Yeah, honeymoon is uh moving over this way while other stuff's happening phasos you dig through those as after, uh, tebeth drops her, uh Lock it you dig through and you don't find any pages However, you do find Some kind of old crowns of some kind of a royalty that's long gone You do find a few more like portraits of some kind including one very very ornate like about as Big as you that kind of a wall piece almost a centerpiece of some kind of of a royal long forgotten the history Okay, but no page Okay, phasos is going to um, you know kind of set those to the side he's gonna look out into the uh the kind of Skybox of the the world and and seeing how it's crumbling and stuff He's gonna he's gonna try something He's gonna look out. He's gonna take off his jacket Oh, it's poor distressed jacket. It's poor distressed jacket. He's gonna, you know, flip it out a few times I'm gonna give it some pets He's gonna do a deep sigh He's gonna place it neatly folded onto the pile and look to see what happens in the distance you leave it on the pile and a piece of land rises up from the ocean filling the k a little bit more as More birds kind of flock away from the rising ground Not nearly as much as tibet's however, it is new land nonetheless Filling a new part of the k Phasos takes note of this and he's going to uh Grab the crown and the portrait and bring it to the boat to put it on there You do so and a larger portion larger than even your jacket was able to salvage Sinks down Cool He watches this happen takes notes of it And uh, he's gonna just continue Meanwhile, and I'll not let that happen for those who don't want this to happen. I'll not let that happen too often before you can intervene Latila, what is what is it you're doing? I'm also looking for pages You're looking for pages. So you search through the gold. Yeah, you search about there digging through the gold and you do find a page And just like uh honeymoon whispers kind of feel your head as your hand gets closer to the page. Do you pick it up? Yes, you pick it up and flashes of imagery of various soldiers fighting each other seemingly over you can't tell what and kind of in the center of it all a Figure that looks very similar to the statue you saw in the dungeon standing And it seems to be having a conversation. You can't quite hear With an owl in of some kind they seem distressed they seem as though they're warning the figure about something And the flashes and you have if you will slight migraine you have the page in your hand And a small chunk of the island sinks. She's gonna take a look at what happened to the island and look at them and look at the screen You can see kind of in the projected image next to the wall You can see a few portions of the shore has been retreated into water And it is rising closer kind of to the tree line that once bordered The island and is now the new beach Where is that kind of down south? All the same the same shore that uh you were first washed up on is now swallowed Oh god And in the page since you can speak uh Abyssal as well, you know, you see that the pages Um, not that you would know this but they they would compliment the information given to honeymoon about creation magics and its nature When it comes to creating large structures larger than buildings entire continents and kind of the power That's required in order to sustain that She would go to honeymoon with that because honeymoon's her magic girl All right, you do so and while you guys are searching um Since everyone one more thing. Yeah, what's up? I was gonna I was gonna try to find where we are like volcanic the area we are And see if I can't I'm gonna try to make that stronger so that we last What do you drop? She pulls out what looks to be a hand net sweater It says latilla flint on it. Oh She places it down. She it's folded She says goodbye chase I don't want to join you just yet Oh You lay down the sweater and The rumbling that you feel underneath your feet Combs to a stop And you can see that a lot of the rustling trees that would be right outside of you Kind of in the projection on the walls They seem to stop rustling for a bit as the ground seems stable outside of you God damn and as you guys are going about your business you can see that um Leo pipes up this don't seem right captain And the captain just eyeballs him a little bit and uh, he steps back and folds kind of like pulls out A dagger with his one good hand I gotta ask you to stop captain. Oh dear And the captain doesn't pay him any mind He doesn't pay to beth any mind and he continues back to his things You can see theo is just kind of looking to tebeth and latilla for approval. Oh, no, he's kind of like He looks worried in his face and unsure of what to do Um Latilla's just like I mean, he's right. Can I see him actually? Uh, there is a mountain of gold between the two I was gonna say I might have missed Well, maybe maybe he yeah Maybe not but heard it though. Yeah. Yeah The sentiment's there. Um Rackmort seems unfazed by his concerns Oh, so he's turned his back on She is As deftly as she can with her sleight of hand She would like to loosen that wheel that's so attached to his back Give me a sleight of hand. Oh dear That's I was a three that's fucking plus eight in there You don't have any inspiration anywhere. Oh, I do. Oh, you just got you just got one. Yeah, just get one Does that mean I roll again? Yeah, basically you're spending. Yes You loosen it And you are able to drop the wheel And it boom lands on the gold as loud chinging sound and you can see That a large portion of the entirety of the island starts to fill up Oh my and rack morn turns around to to see this and he pulls a gun on you He pulls a gun on him Yeah, stand off Yeah, uh, I'm afraid you're gonna be leaving a little light-handed here captain Hmm Oh my fucking god, he squints his eyes You think I got a welcoming party waiting when I head back home Let the sea trade company ain't going to ring me neck for everything I got and more Then I'm not going to be stuck doing indentured work Never to feel the freedom of the open ocean ever again. You could always leave Like I did you owe nothing to those rats In the port you owe nothing to the pirates out to sea. You only owe it to yourself And the people you care about I and I'm doing it for myself For those rats at the sea trade company I do have to thank them for teaching me a very valuable lesson The only way to have true control and freedom to direct your own life is to get ahead And the only way to get ahead is by stepping atop those without the stones to do it first to someone else And I gotta say this island is looking like a mighty fine ladder So I'll make one final proposition to you all as fellow crewmates You can either join me and take what treasures here that is rightfully ours by fairness Or you can keep your hands clean of this whole mess And I'll happily sail you back to shore unharmed The forbidden third Option is that you can stand in my way And task me with the poor chore of having to hurt you But I ain't letting one more thing get in the way of the life I am owed With this Rackmourne has given you each a choice What is your response to beth?

So I need to move one foot forward Um as phasos he he you know rolls up his sleeves his tattoos fully visible So yeah, yeah, here's he on higher ground. Yes. So here's let me. Yeah, let me explain the uh, how this works So, okay. Yeah, go ahead whenever you see these like outlines. That means it is five foot up in terms of like a mound of gold And uh, you know the highest one being 15 feet up. So you It is like diagonal, uh up. Okay, so that would be like 10 20 feet. I'll move I'll move one more forward So that'll be at 15. Um, yeah And uh, yeah, I'm going to uh, you know Roll up my sleeves as my tattoos are fully visible and my tattoo of the grasping tentacles is going to activate um as I uh Yeah, start to try to wrap around him. He has to let me post it in there Okay, so he's making straight saving throw athletics. He is making this with a plus I would like to do my woe thing. Please use your woe thing so, uh, let me uh Shit, how do I fucking put that in there? So just so you know, it is not an athletics Oh, sorry strength save so strength save. Okay, so this will be with a plus four minus a d6. Yeah Yeah, uh, so as um Well, hopefully it passes because I'll it'll be a little silly if it doesn't but As as phasus goes to uh, you know to get him honeymoon kind of very quickly sees that uh, You know, what's happening and she just kind of like whips out a hand and points at rackmore with like light glinting off her painted nails And she just says submit And that's my my woe All right He has to subtract that from his uh, thingy. So his strength save will be with a plus four Uh, so it is now 12. He fails Okay, let's roll that davage Whoa be upon me And he is now grappled by me as well. Ooh All right, his movement is now zero anything else. That's all I can do. All right, uh, honeymoon Okay, as a bonus action um It's time to break out my class features, uh Let me mark that I used one of my cosmic gummins Uh, and I am going to oh, he takes plus two damage today. Oh plus two. Okay Uh, and I'm going to take on my starry form specifically the archer Um, so yeah, honeymoon's body becomes galactic and nebulous Um with her her eyes and nails and the edges of her horns shining or horns rather um Let's see and so can I do it as part of the casting? Yes, when I activate it as a bonus action, uh, I so I can go ahead and do this feature now I'm go. I make a ranged spell attack. Yeah, druid of stars is powerful. I enjoy it Uh role That uh, this is at a rack morn at rack morn. That's not going to be enough Uncoggers you see that he almost like bats is out of the way with his bracer on his arm Huh, all right, then I'm let me then I think uh Honeymoon's gonna try to do is Well, she's still got line of sight. She's not gonna stay in the same spot Like I'm gonna move at the end of my turn, but she you know takes on the starry form hurls off this Luminous arrow. He bats it away and honeymoon Uh It's you know, it's time. It's time to activate stone cold power bitch. Uh And she uh again reaches a handout this time like with the palm facing up fingers, uh curled Um and like her fingernails glow very bright and underneath rack morn's feet It almost looks like a small galaxy of star starts to bubble up under him Uh, and she is going to and they all kind of shoot up with these tendrils trying to wrap around him and I'm gonna cast hold person Full person. All right Wisdom save so this is going to be with a plus zero He is held My melee my melee fighters have fucking fun Just gotta get up there Yeah, uh, and then honeymoon is going to uh get out of sharn's way, uh, because she's in danger five ten fifteen 20 25 30 Use it use trying to use the barrels as some cover And that is my turn. All right to bet to bet It since he's paralyzed you have advantage if you're within five feet and also if you hit it's an autocrit Does that also proxies attack that yes, it does. Yo hell. Yeah, so she's gonna take a a step forward And take a swipe at him with it with her rope. She's gonna first like noticing that he is like Not disarmed, but uh No longer, uh concentrated on her with his pistol. She's gonna pocket her pistol uh, and she's going to walk up and Whip her rope dart around and try to slash at his uh, his leggies You have advantage because he's paralyzed Paralysed Let's see.

Okay Oh, yep Your rope dart you just like slash and you cut like a big chunk of flesh out of him with various like whips and and turns of this rope dart just Just like cutting him up real good And when she gets down to sharn's level she's going to she's going to like say like say to her It's like my fight is with the captain.

So, uh, yeah roll the d6 again um All right, still a decent hit and you have another attack Yes, she's gonna throw a dagger Well, see that's great because we're we're burning all of our like we're burning through his health So then we can turn on each other really soon 17 and just to see if it crits Nope, but 17 And once we're all 20 catches up there we go. Yep. That's a six. Yep You kind of up real good as one He seems to be agonizing although he is unable to move his lips too much to say much as he is paralyzed But you can see he's very angry To get a comment out fazos if you have time could you get me the other trident? Next are the NPCs turn and uh, you can see that uh Theo is going to come up close with a shaky hand and leg just kind of stumble up here He's not going to get within melee range, but he's just like, I'm sorry about this captain And he's going to throw his dagger He has advantage. He does have advantage, but with no bonuses Hapa, Hapa Sometimes you roll two sixes He he throws his dagger And it just ching into the gold and it does not affect the island To bet like Whips around she's like wait a minute because she was like trying to protect him from char He just fucking walks up to the captain and he's like Oh Okay That's fine. I guess and then she turns back to char. Sean real quick Oh, sorry honey moon as she sees what the is doing She'll yell over to him Focus on finding the missing pages and she points to to this area over here about where another constellation is He kind of looks around give me a persuasion check He's kind of looking back and forth to the place that you pointed and looking back at you just kind of darting back and forth I'm sorry miss Langley, but don't sit right with me to take anything else from this room And honey moon bites honey moon bites down her remark Sean is going to bonus action disengage Oh And she's going to run up to rack morn who kind of gives her a look She reaches into his pocket to pull out the book and Kind of flipping through the pages and finding one and says some words in a Bissell Yee protectors of the K heed my call For your island is in danger and I'm in need of your assistance in a Bissell of course you Honey moon says yells in Bissell you bitch She turns to you and just kind of shrugs I'm sorry miss honey moon You were a sight to see though And pity it's ending like this She shrugs and out from the piles of gold you see Several statues of the figure that lotilla you saw in your vision and you all saw in the dungeon Rise up and brandish their swords Say those your turn, okay Want to know a fun fact? Yes, cool bug fact Cool bug fact. So sneak attack is a a range it works on ranged attacks, right? And that's one of the things I have a second tattoo. I've never used My other arm, which is not currently holding Rackmore with tentacles becomes a giant inky eldritch mall Oh, hold on. Oh, I forgot one thing. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, you got advantage. I do have advantage. So I don't think you'll autocrit though. Um No, you have to be within five feet of the creature Yeah, oh So, yeah, the they they both would have hit Um, but it's only one attack, right? It is. Oh, yeah, that's advantage. Yeah one attack.

Jesus I thought that was the page we were on No, no, I got you Um That was a page phases without for sure. Yeah Uh, as honeymoon, you know with one hand still, you know, palm up fingers curled maintaining the the whole person with her other hand she sort of summons this ball of cosmic kind of white gold light And uh as she kind of shoots it off at him She Hmm. She says Do you know captain? You're looking like a pretty good lad to me and she sends it off at him and it blasts a hole through his chest Oh He coughs up kind of a spew of blood As for all his determination and anger towards the world The great captain rack morn was merely a man and he dies Jesus Good. Well, uh Next trick. Let me see what I want to do. Um, oh, yeah, that was my bonus action Strongest bonus action ever. That's terrifying. It's so good. Um Um Yeah, I think yeah now is the time to go balls to the walls um How so though Hmm Yeah, I think we'll We'll we'll go at sharn with a good old guiding bolt Okay, let me make sure let me reposition myself because I want to make sure I'm Yeah, I'm trying to Be right in this little corner here Trying to be in such a range that she'll have a hard time getting to me. Right. Um And yeah, let me go ahead and uh pop off a guiding bolt And bingity bongity and sharn is going to try and evade it. You are firing at disadvantage Am I? Yes She's going to use her reaction to oh Okay Try and Oh disadvantage. I didn't even hear it. Yes. Okay. Let's roll again No, that'll still hit See it. Uh, can we take the first damage? We'll go with the second one Alabama, um, but the next attack roll against her does have advantage Oh boy. Oh no Oh no Hey to bet Go crazy blasted at her and she looks a little bit shocked at both her captain dying and now she is being pummeled Yeah I'll give it to bet that's gonna come up. Let's see Yeah, she can't evade this one. Nope She can get up to here And she's gonna be on level with sharn here And she's going to hold out her hand Give me the book Give me a persuasion I would say If you if you wish I'll say you can take your turn to do that if you so wish Okay, you can eat up your turn to do that like basically Spend a bonus action to support to bet. Okay Yeah, all right to bet you may roll again Okay Okay She seems She looks down. It's hard to get a read on her Okay, wait shit. Why did I move closer to the statues? Fool Anything else to death She whispers one more time or well not whispers but says in a very serious tone to her If you don't give me that book Know that you will die with it Not by my hand, but see what happened to your captain Honeymoon waves from behind the stack of gold And that is the rest of her turn lotilla Anything you want to do That took your bonus action to help uh, well Actually, no that is the help action. So that is full action. Sorry you do have a bonus action I don't know what I was saying. I'm sorry That's fine. I'm going to move closer Let's just power by her just be imposing and I have a couple of bonus stuff I can do Uh, can I Help action takes full action, right? Yes What if I action surge? Then you would have another full action. That's so funny Yep, okay Go crazy All right, go crazy guys do better. Yeah, your first attack roll has advantage First attack roll has advantage. All right, cool Let's take a stab Take a stab Stibbity stubey Mike doesn't look like I'll need the advantage, but still Yep, the first one will hit Good deal So that is your first attack. Sorry. I thought that was two attacks. It's not um, no because guiding bolt, uh, a target it hits The next tackle has advantage. Okay, seven you stab into her. She takes it We need to do a d6 Six. Yep. Uh, a d6 rather Yes, she's trying to evade the blows trying to parry it with her Old worn out cutlass, but it's wearing her down. You do Get a good hit in I assume you have a second attack This one will not have advantage She stabs it. It doesn't matter Let's see Damage And another d6 stabs in gets interface and says give All right Give me an intimidation. Fuck. Yes I have advantage on that Ooh Sick because you big Big big latilla big mama. Oh, fuck. Yes We love to see it. I'm going to roll something Oh with a plus four Okay Oh no Shit, we didn't waver her resolve on her turn She reaches is she whole lifts the book As if to give it to you and throws it over into The fire as it starts to catch flame She pulls her pistol To aim to fire at it She needs to hit an 18. She is firing with a plus three. What's up? I'm just thinking Uh, I was gonna offer to get in front of that, but I think I'm uh, I would like to woe it. Please. You may woe it It will roll your d6 So she will subtract that she will subtract that so her plus Three is now plus zero. So she's rolling a straight d20 If she needs an 18, huh? She needs an 18 to hit the book Crack shot there She fires at the book and it It Explodes into a flurry of torn up pages And she drops her pistol and holds up both her hands to bet to beth gets down to her level and she like Like tries to get eye contact with her and she says Funnily enough You did the right thing And she gets up and she starts heading to the portal Wait, do the statues do anything the statues actually hold on let me Yeah So as she fires at the book and it explodes into a bunch of cut pages these statues Crumble down into bits of rubble and stone And the island starts to shake rapidly Oh And she just looks to you with a smug smile. Well now is your time to take with the treasure and get out of here And theo just walks up. We can't take the treasure the island's falling apart. We gotta leave it here I mean the treasure in the boat already counts as taken like It's not gonna do anything better to leave it We don't have room Well, you mean we don't have room we can push the book through the world I'm gonna give you meta knowledge because here's gonna be a choice another choice I'll If you take the treasure in the boat it will do An unknown amount of damage to the k As well as I assume you're gonna search for more of the pages Which I will say you eventually will find but taking them will do more damage to the k almost irreparable amounts Mm-hmm, however You can leave the pages as is as well as dump the treasure Which will repair some of the k back Hopefully for a brighter future where more benevolent visitors will bring it more items in order to heal it Will that be possible though if the book is gone? Yeah, there's not really a way to reach it. That is an unknown I do have a question for the meta uh Would is just finding the pages enough to destabilize it or if we find them and then leave them I will say if you find them and leave them that may destroy more of the island as it is treasures within this room You know it counts as treasures within this room and therefore would harm the island if taken The knowledge itself is the treasure Gotcha Yeah, as you as as established by the fact that you took some portraits and seemingly mundane items Treasure is merely Due to the value of the person who places it there Pick up the wrong coin the whole fucking island thing just like how latilla dropped a sweater of all things And allowed the island to heal some Not something of Easy monetary value to calculate Okay Okay, so like putting down my page right now wouldn't do anything it might because it's Oh Yeah, well, would we want to confer real quick? Yes, because this is a thing that I feel each of your characters has a different Yeah, like well, I meant like conferring about the knowledge that we've found. Ah, yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah So honey where I tip the boat Honey when I found this page your magic Is it spoke to me in abyssal? Interesting. I also found a page. She takes it out of her uh her rooftop Uh same thing um I I would like to find the rest Yeah, honeyman takes it with a nod I would like to take a look at the The over screen of the island just like it did do damage when I found it and picked it up We might be limited in how much we can learn um Yeah, what is a phasos is react so first of all I want to say that phasos Just just for visual sake, of course. He doesn't have his suit, but both of his arms are long inky tendrils right now With his giant buff body So yeah, he's very much a kind of venom looking. He is furious Is rage at the fact that Sean did that the whole knowing of the book Honeyman's also good And unless someone is uh actively stopping him He's gripping her with his tendrils and going to be trying to kill her Oh Because he is furious Does anyone try to stop him Tibet does I'm gonna roll just to make sure let's see this perception isn't super high, but I'd like to make sure Meanwhile, well, honeymoon's just gonna let him do it. Honeymoon is getting down to business and gonna start searching over Where one of the constellation marks is Yeah, honeymoon. It's just she walks by she walks past, you know totters past in our high heels uh And says do be careful not to get your suit any doubt to you and she uh You know goes over here to look So to to bet to Beth and phasos you're in conflict of what to do with sharn Yes Yeah, uh phasos You know the tendrils have have basically begun to reach out At the point where to bet probably would have uh, you know intervened Yes, she would have noticed that you're you're switching targets here. She's She's always surrendered leave her alone Surrendered or not. She destroyed the book the very thing that allows us to get here and potentially leave I know potentially leave. Look the portal's right behind you. Yes. The portal's right behind me, but for how long We need to get better start going At this point phasos is is uh He is in a rage state. He his anger is is very high He's going to still attempt to uh to grapple uh sharn If that is allowed, okay Uh, I'll ask first for to beth in character. Would you stop this? Yes Then we are at an impasse Okay And I would say in that case We have to I would say Make the choice now just like we did With the saving of the creatures and just like we did with the saving of Clyde Where we need to have at a vote what we do So We have we have three choices We can leave with No, we have two choices actually um and sharn fact sharn is a non-factor into this because uh I can tell the tensions are rising and potentially a fight might break out But I think a fight might break out anyway um So I will give you guys the choice of one leaving With the treasure that you already have two gathering the rest of the note uh the the book pages That remains here potentially doing more damage to the island or three Leave all the treasure you have found with and leave with nothing And I will go down the list La Tilla Ah What's it looking back and forth as having finally noticed shorn is being strangled Wow As she starts I think she's gonna actually like Drop gigantism from and just think I'm ready to go home I I don't want to leave this place dying And I don't want to not leave it dead I'm going through the portal So are you leaving with nothing then? I'm not leaving without people Okay, all right the treasure stays. Okay. That is that is for clarification Okay, it's not that you don't mind if somebody takes some treasure But your choice is to leave the treasure here. Yes. All right, correct Three phasos What is your choice? Okay, so so the choices if I'm remembering this correctly leave Without taking treasure, which is not an option. Yeah Take what we have gathered or continue searching for the book The page the missing pages. Yeah Okay um, well He wants the treasure. He also would like the pages so he's going to vote pages um Mostly because if the pages can get him back to The the the k in the future for more treasure at a different date Then he will gladly take that chance even if it means the destruction of the island All right to bet Uh, to bet wants to leave with what we have and just get the fuck out Oh Okay, she so Here's her thought process behind that the book is burnt Nobody else is going to come back to this island And the damage has already been done with what's been taken So if we leave now and never fucking come back Then the island will be all the better for it Mm-hmm. All right. All right. Also. We get some treasure out of it, which is pretty nice, but still Okay And honeymoon, what is your choice? honeymoon Has devoted her life to the pursuit of cosmic knowledge And knowledge of magics beyond, you know, what might usually be beyond mortal hands and she Given that the whole the the partnership with fazo seems to be ringing true honeymoon likes the sound of an empire and with these pages talking about creation magic They can They can build whatever the fuck they want on top of that slum like that'll be a good fucking start So honeymoon votes to stay and look for the pages Okay Now in In the situation now sharn and theo have their own opinions sharn wishes to take as much as she can Including taking the pages, but she does not have a voice in this Uh and theo as well. He has a recommendation that you guys leave the treasure and leave with nothing But he is Not going to have as much of a backbone enough to insist upon that choice That he was he is willing to go with anyone, but he will you know Suggest yeah In the situation Where la tilla and to beth La tilla, would you be willing to allow to beth to leave with the treasure that is already loaded on the boat? If is if it is blatantly explained that since it's already been taken Taken as seen by the island and won't do further destabilization She could be persuaded to that yes, okay Then at this impasse If this sounds good to you as players It appears our teams are to beth and la tilla Versus honeymoon and phasos Yeah Sounds about right. I do this is probably going to be the end goal. So Then we shall roll for initiative one last time Yeah, as much like I said as as much persuasion as phasos is willing to give Is to beth and la tilla should just Leave now If they want to leave now Just stay out of his way is basically what is uh stay out his and honeymoon's way That's as much persuasion as he's giving That is more than I expected. Good job phasos But that's very gruffly very ragely And yeah, basically Just get out of my way to beth I'm taking this literally looks over to la tilla and says So if we just take the boat you and I And then also the over there We'll kiss out of your way Hmm, so la tilla and to beth you would allow them to search for the rest of the pages potentially dooming the island Potentially doing the island, but we're taking the fucking boat. Okay Oh interesting All right, that that is not what I expected from to beth Gotcha Well at this Theo is not okay with doing the island and he finally steps up. Oh my he puffs out his chest and clenches his fists under shaking hands And looks upwards at phasos Phasos I can't let you do that All right, sorry He's going to He's going to look at theo I believe everyone has a place in this world theo And it seems yours is below me Uh, and uh, he's now going to uh, while his one arm is uh, you know going towards char His other arm is ready to hammer down on theo At this now to beth is going to be ready to fight phasos Regardless of final choice. She's ready to just kick ass Okay, but before honeymoon like maybe intervenes. What is lotilla saying to honeymoon? Sorry imminent theo death got to me really quick. Yeah, okay honeymoon Yes, I You've probably figured out. I can't very well leave without you That's sweet of you darling, but I do intend to stay At least long enough to find the rest of those pages I don't know how much it would do But could you at least be persuaded to drop them make copies and then leave with by leaving them the originals here honeymoon But it might be something So it's a real quick the so the stuff on the pages it detailed kind of You know, it seems like the page has held memories I know I know you're trying to find a loophole lotilla, but I'll say copying the pages and the knowledge is basically I'm gonna say you're trying to loophole. I'm trying to give you a moral Yeah, a moral choice You I I'm gonna say as a dm respectfully There is no loophole for this Yeah, gotcha Yeah, honeymoon. It just kind of shakes her head with a little you know clinking of her various and sundry jewels and she she says The power held within those pages not to mention the knowledge in there The almond will get pissed at us for taking it anyway I don't see what good copying it would do Understood. I just don't want everything here to die No, I think it's probably as much as we can get before theo death Yeah, and that yeah, then the shit with theo happens or starts threatening to happen Uh, and I imagine honeymoon and lotilla's heads both just kind of snap over Uh And honeymoon goes. Okay. Okay. Um She uh, you you come over And you see phasos, of course like starting to wrap around both sharn and theo and to bet like like has her rope dart out and ready but not in a way that, uh phasos can see like she has it like Ready like by her side. Yeah, yeah sneaky Honey, I feel like honeymoon like can tell the posture of like a viper that's about to strike. Oh, yeah. No Yeah, she's not hiding it to honey. Yeah, she's only hiding it to phasos. Um, yeah And she's going to she's gonna look at Phasos. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Oh, honeymoon would kind of seeing that Keep her keep her poker face but kind of hold a hand up come a little closer And be like, okay. I think What needs to happen here? I think well, she looks to theo and she says Theo I am afraid You are quite handily outnumbered and personally I've no desire to see you dead on the floor and so I think the best course of action for you theodore is to walk through that portal and go he Finally studies himself kind of trying to breathe And just like stops his shaking Then I'll die with the island Oh god If that is your choice, do you door? And so be it But I am afraid As I said You are outnumbered And our decision does not align with yours He seems defeated He tries to kind of push off phasos kind of like like Of course defeated. He's like fine Yeah Do you let him go? So he's like a hundred percent surrendering at this point seemingly so yes Okay Phasos will move his mall away from above Theo's head Did you want to say something phasos? No, no, no, okay. He kind of rubs his hand around his neck a little bit just like I'm going to go and help the lives that are actually valuable on this island the real lives that you're ruining I hope you can sleep well at night and he starts to walk out Towards the cave entrance that you once came through Honeymoon just looks after him like a narrowed eyes raised eyebrows and says Like a baby and turns back to the group Sleep rather soundly Well That being the case Honeymoon looks to to bet than Latila as we've said You need not we don't intend to force you to stay and search for the pages as we intend to do I do intend to still kill shot Yeah, I still have a problem with that, you know, she's Fine In fact, I think she would help you with your search on the pages Isn't that right strong and she like looks down at her She just shrugs. I ain't got a purpose no more that kind of Hey, mr. John Well She should be happy to have the word Phasos, uh, you know, he he he he he he contemplates for a moment The the tendrils kind of loosened slightly before Uh, he he he grips her very tightly Those without ambition I'll go to struggle So I would uh Suggest you put your back into the work. You may be given Give me a Intimidation God She uh kind of struggling for air Very reluctantly. She's not very happy to say it I Captain A very Very Sly smile Crosses Phasos's face as he releases his grip Very good The rest of you other than honeymoon Get out of my sight Honeymoon says oh, I'm honored I Captain And uh, to bet it makes her way over to the boat and uh Gestures over to latilla to come with Yeah, honeymoon will get out the way honeymoon Yes She gets up to her fold Actually, it's probably more than her full height and then she comes down and you get a hug Oh, yeah, honeymoon. I imagine briefly squeaks like a squeaky toy. Uh, and she goes Oh And then she She does smile kind of softly and she does return the hug. Uh, and she says Pretty fit as it was. It was a pleasure to go on this adventure with you latilla You get a very terse whisper of I have no idea how long this portal's going to last We don't intend to dilly-dally. Okay Phasos Uh Nods at latilla The author still stands if we have a meet again See you on the other side When he gives a curtain nod All right All right, do you want me to how the hell we're gonna push this boat into the portal by the way latilla gets big All right, I was about to say latilla gets big and shoves it And you guys head through the portal Uh, can I say as we're going uh, to beth is going to like Shovel out some of the gold Thank you. I don't need all of this But we kind of have to go right now We can start a new life with enough You shovel out some of the gold Yeah, there you go. Uh, just for fun, uh as as to beth is kind of shoveling gold out I feel like honeymoon catches her eye and does give her a smirk and a wink Tibet has no idea how to interpret that so she's like Nervously like waves goodbye and she's like, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go I don't know what to do with this hot woman flirting with me Yeah, as he shovels some of the gold off of the boat, you do see that a a bit Of the island does seem to get repaired but In vain as the other two party members are going to ruin that progress Don't worry. Yeah And you guys head out And we'll we'll come back to the other two later soon But you guys head out and are brought back Pardon the other boat Into playing battleship The inner seas back into your world as the flash of light covers your vision And you are spat out as the boat rocks a little bit before settling And the wind catches the humble sail of the boat And judging by the sky you have a decent understanding of the heading to beth from your experience sailing You know where belconess is well That was uh quite the adventure Latilla You still have your friend with you I hope so The spider Do I still have him? Yep, you kind of look around You look around to you and you see it crawls out of one of your sleeves Kind of out to your arm crawling out and it seems elated It's kind of darting back and forth around your arm looking as if taking in this new sky this new sea Well, looks like you have a new purpose after all Say shall we head back to port then? Preferably not Yeah, probably a different port since the dominion might just be hanging out there Oh Right, I still don't know why and then like like she she like she has like that concerned face of like Oh, yeah, I didn't think about that and then like The slow kind of like realization kind of hits her. She's like, I know exactly which port to hit And she starts making way for her home port Yeah And that's that ends the story of to beth and la tilla However, meanwhile at the K honeymoon Phasos and sharn you search for the remaining pages and I'll reveal them all now Uh, and you don't have to individually go to grab to pick them up I'm just showing you where they were and what you find Is the unlocked Unlocked secrets of creation magics that were used to create the golden k and with each page that you pick up More and more of the k starts to fall and crumble You can see you can hear cries of animals until suddenly Silence The volcano is all that's left honeymoon Now that we've gotten all the pages honeymoon starts to Walk over to the portal. Uh, she kind of looks out through it. Uh, the silence kind of hanging in the air and She looks Oh, and I forgot to say with each page flashes of visions go through your mind as well and flashes of not only visions of the past but also visions Of the various creatures of which this is their home. This is their land This is the place that they have known and nothing else Now gone from them And the last vision you see with the last page you pick up Is an owl in with its back turned to you walking into the darkness in shame Hashtag not my fucking problem. Anyway, you know, that was very good. That was very good. Um But honeymoon kind of still kind of her back to phases looking out at the portal. Um Holding some of the pages and she goes Uh, hang on. We'll figure out a word this. Um Partners Equal in power neither superior to the other And when none other and when no one else can be trusted We shall still have each other Yes, and she looks over her shoulder at phases phases turns Kind of looking at the the destruction that they've wrought Yes honeymoon This is a true partnership I said earlier That is a empire that I would However That's not entirely true I wouldn't be alone Makes it a little bit better honeymoon smiles like a full like Like satisfied proper smile um And she says and she Holds out her hand daintily uh And says Well, then When the entire material plane is ours Let's expand the empire here Shall we Indeed Is going to take your hand We'll need a boat I think That would make things easier. Yes You can see that sharn now looks out at the display of nothing but ocean now And she seems herself kind of in awe at the destruction of it all Not in shock quite, but amazed at how much is gone now She doesn't say anything, but she just kind of follows you along Now honeymoon Yeah, honeymoon kind of notices and she says Oh, don't fret sharn With this we'll have the power to build whatever we desire And with it with all that knowledge Honeymoon Instinctually with creation magic in your mind the secrets of the k Created by that powerful magician Many years ago You are able to make what you need With a flick of your wrist Oh my you can conjure a boat as if it were nothing Oh my starting the beginning Of your rule Yeah for flavor it's like glowing white gold with like and translucent with bits of like stars and stuff Yeah, it could be a little bit of purple for phasers as tie Yeah, yeah, honeymoon. I'll put that in Is it better? Yeah Oh fuck yes And you you hop on You head through the portal With this new found power that you have Looking towards the horizon of a new era of magic A new rule As and honeymoon will link arms with phasers as we kind of look out over the horizon Oh fuck. Yes And that will be the end of honeymoon and phasers story That is the end of the golden Oh my fucking god I was I seriously thought you guys were going to like stand in each other's ways when it came to this I'm surprised that you were just like no, I'm just going to let them destroy the island I mean so surprised phasers survived that I was like if any of my characters, I'm okay with dying It's phasers and he didn't die and I am So surprised here. Here's here's the big thing. It's like Tibet did not know what was on those pages. She had no idea what was going on with the co-creation stuff So as far as she understood it, she was like They're going to try to take shit and then they're just going to die. So it's not going to be her problem anyways. No fair enough Yeah And the only reason why she was going to start taking up arms against phasers was because he was threatening innocent lives And she's like, uh, no that shit don't fly with me Uh, but then he relented so she was like, all right. Latilla. Let's go Uh an evil, uh mastermind has to know when to relent So I don't know when to fold them. Yeah Oh, this is so juicy. I'm so glad things with honeymoon and phasos panned out the way they did Uh I want to I want to play in a campaign where like On even in phasers are the main villain
