thurston hillman yub nub that's all oh dude i fucking love corruption of champions
am i shut your host
druid named orin and we're all level four by the way i don't think we didn't really do a
good job last episode last time we leveled we leveled but we just kind of went straight into the
game because we wanted to play so we uh because as a reminder we're level four and speaking of
reminders uh the complication system and just kind of re-explain uh stuff on the stream and how this
works so you know the bars under our names and stuff the numbers are not our levels they are the
amount of hero points we have here points allow us to reroll d20s or declare a narrative declaration
i with the uh with the group that we are called narrative declaration um and with that as people
give bits on twitch and stuff like that uh not direct donations only just bits on twitch um
it fills up the bar if they uh if they direct it towards the player and stuff and with that allows
us to basically reroll it to survive but every little bit of that donation goes directly to thurston
who's currently capped out on villain points which he gets to use to roll stuff for monsters and
and mess us all up so that's gonna be really fun and if we ever roll a natural one we can't even you
you know hero pointed away if we roll a natural one we complicate and uh our patrons are able to
if they're in the right tier or submit their complications to us we put them in a big old
pool and we basically just pick through them to see uh how badly we complicate so it could lead to
very hilarious results we all get messed up through it it's going to be a grand time um that's just to
remind you all you good there speaker you've been eating your mic sorry i i just fell down a flight of
stairs into a garbage tractor yeah sorry it is in vogue to be fair yeah uh and an additional to
that for those of you who might be interested in our previous show that we did called warhams we're
doing a warham special soon uh next month uh this is current time just kind of stay tuned to discord
and everything you've ever gets changed i think we did it on i think it's the 10th that we did it 10th
17th somewhere around there we have another patreon yeah it's the 10th we're doing we're doing a
patreon only and sub only uh warham special and stuff like that so if you've been a supporter of
the channel and stuff really just kind of keeping us afloat and stuff so uh we'd like to you know give
a little thank you to that along with a ton of free content that's coming out as well uh total free pdfs
about rock ryan and stuff like that we're going out for free so you will also be seeing that very
very very soon you can't watch i mean you're currently a sub like if you're a sub on the twitch
channel or you're part of the patreon uh you should be able to watch us because we're going to try
to stream it uh for subs only here on twitch and then release it as a patreon exclusive thing on
patreon uh but with that that's just a reminders of everything how the stuff that we do i hope you
all enjoy the show as thurston how are you going to mess us up today oh well
last time our destined band of chuckle fox regrouped following their horrific encounter
with the chainsaw car in the streets of outset tanhauser rahua and hakus constructed a vehicle
in order to reconnect with the lost oran and valley who had awoken in the buried city temple the group
had previously found itself in eventually the entirety of the group reconvened at scenic baldrick's house
where they learned that the death and return of valian oran meant the group had become sponsored
by a deific force du hakus the gargoyle scholar that our players had rescued previously uh explained
that sponsorship is a tool of deities to influence time though the appearance of the rot has somewhat
complicated matters with revived individuals slowly becoming afflicted by the rot and that there are ways to
combat this but they are extremely esoteric and and not not not well known and that is what du hakus
is researching however as this happened oran after the stresses of dying and coming back uh took took
took a nap a little nappy uh but then had terrifying nightmares well uh rahua banished glub talk to the
shadow realm or uh cast a spell to protect glub talk uh cousin ginebrun arrived briefly to announce
that the gala of uh martinet cardos of the tyrants guild was was happening at uh at the martinet's
fortress derek sandran house however the attendees have not left since and most of the tyrants guild
guards appear to have left the uh the derg and are out and about as part of the hunt and the wrap-up
duties of that leaving the the gala somewhat undefended following that we had a bit of a planning session
action and now we're going to to jump right back into things um starting as our campaign is often
want to do at scenic baldrick's house uh so you are all discussing options i'm gonna continue to allow
you all to discuss options and how you want to approach this uh we we jump back to exactly where we
were at the end of last session all of you in baldrick's house take it away
i'm so i'm imagining that that song has been like baldrick's house and the metal of the street
no i hear that song too much go away
go away yeah i'm just i'm just taking all of uh baldrick's things off the walls
um putting up a portrait of yourself in his house yeah exactly like a really i i proceed to i
proceed to hang volley on my wall
just duct taped everywhere i put her on i put her on one of those like fishing trophy plaques and be
like fish captain oh no help i've been i've been turned into one of those singing bass
you're you're billy bast no no punches you in the stomach to make you sing don't worry be happy
all right all right so what's our plan of action have we settled again the main problem is that i had
a plan until you know there were more people so what what exactly do you guys see yourselves doing
or and you could fly you could probably go in from above
barn kind of ponders a bit and goes like well i think one thing we could try to do is try to scout
out the situation so mr tannhauser
yes do you have binoculars in your eyes
no these are my eyes oh do you have binoculars in your eyes yeah
i squint i could see just a little bit better that's oh he does have binoculars in his eyes then
oh yeah that's really cool anyway but i believe go ahead go i'm sorry no i believe that your
suggestion to scout ahead is practical i suggest a three-pronged assault might be tenable
bali and i are by far the most charismatic and undoubtedly could pass as two of these
contemptible
tyrant guilders
meanwhile ruhua and baldrick can enter through your preordained sewer route
before we do any of that we have orrin entering through the roof supply him with a disguise as
well he'll be able to give us a heads up if he sees anything out of the ordinary
that might jeopardize our approach and then we move in
sounds like a plan we should probably give the place a look over first because i mean sneaking in
disguised as any of the contemptible tyrants guild members isn't going to do us much good if we walk
inside and there's like you know blood sacrifice or whatever you crazy kids do an outset
perhaps it'd be worth it to try and find a member of the tyrants guild who you two can bushwhack
and then take his equipment exactly they have their equipment and i procure the masks that i obtained last
time well the guards aren't there right now yes with your narrative declaration
baldrick baldrick holds up a finger and points out yeah the masks aren't the only thing this isn't a
this isn't like a romance novel where no one notices who you are just because you've got a mask on
you need the clothes to fit it too i motioned a volley at that point do you think this looks like a tyrants
guild member i strike a pose that's your response to a question would you like a backflip
yeah exactly can i get panache no but valley gets nervous she backflips
didn't didn't we note last session that we had enough stuff to like accurately disguise ourselves as
the tyrants guild though yeah i like it was it was a it was a vague thing but there's like armor
like i i will have assumed you can you know have acquired that and you know looted bodies and such
how you confuse me because we've revisited because you spent a narrative declaration which i assume
means that tanhauser picked over all of the the bodies in the street when tanhauser came back
it's not like there weren't a lot of them and also the hunt is happening everywhere so you can just
like start collecting exactly oh so you could just have us kill two of them that's fine by me too
i'm not as underprepared as you might imagine we have ample garments for all of us
all right so why don't we go over a little bit of decorum for being a member of the tyrant's guild shall
we let's okay will you be needing my assistance crunch it's kind of like steps up uh i i i i could
certainly lend my my hammer to your cause friends uh actually yeah baltric is thinking about that
actually yeah go down the ford oh i would ask are you an astute and fine idea are you opposed to sewers
well i i mean i'm certainly the water is a difficult thing you you see i'm a rather armored figure
yes i'm aware i'm not asking you to swim i'm asking if you are okay with being in one
people can have weak constitutions when it comes to excrement oh not crunch of legend no no no no i am a
fine upstanding citizen of the of of my my nation and yes yes i can i endure into the
anything i you you deem necessary good yes fantastic
so with that in mind i know that i'm probably high on their list of people to whack
for who is a bit too obvious to sneak in but you too if you can figure out your own way in that could
help oran come from above and find his own way in we could try to figure something out from below
right we do have that hat of disguise if we want a third person to sneak in
but maybe that's what we give to oran to hide the wings that would be my suggestion that way he can slip
in from the roof again you could probably blend into whatever's happening in there if you just
act natural or we give it to rahua only because i'm curious what he would think he looks like as a
person oran raises his hand yeah oh pick me what while you guys plan all this uh should i go ahead and
go find a good scouting spot to kind of see the layout of the place as you said before they didn't
really have a good layout layout of the uh entire area i can go get like a writing thing and some paper
and try to get a you know vague like vague layout of the place and make any notes of anything that i
spot that could be something we'd do i'd like to go over the etiquette first so we don't have to do it
again oh okay and we should be close at hand in case something happens all right uh thurston yes
given my uh extensive knowledge of outset law yes would you say i would be relatively familiar with
how the tyrants guild conducts itself and how etiquette works with them i would say you would
have a a fairly good understanding with the with the asterisks that you know different um different
martinets run different operations for sure and this is your this is your area so yeah that is
no no no that's okay so what would you like me to roll to instruct um well uh you you cited
outset law that's a great option um i mean it's basic it's going to be the same as well to your
other checks so yeah let's go with that that's that law uh no penalties no benefits no penalties no
benefits in this case here we go first roll of the game we get into one what's it gonna be
it's a nat 20 with a 30 i know i know i know the tyrants guild i teach them everything there is to
know i taught the tyrants guild i was the no you weren't all right yeah yeah yeah you absolutely know
the the the style um and like hierarchical uh setup of the tyrants guild uh yeah so you can certainly
provide a lot of information uh most of which you know we we actually have a cool pdf on this uh yeah
you can you can pass some of that uh on to your to your fellows here i i would ask that that be
conferred as a bonus to whatever like charisma based checks they need to make when confronted if
confronted absolutely this will i think uh will confer them a plus two circumstance bonus
yeah that'll that's more than nothing i didn't even have to roll for that well you did you got a 20.
i didn't have to re-roll for that that's fair apple all right and so that should about cover it
so once again starting from the top if you are confronted by members of tyrants guild asking for
your serial number what do you give them uh baldrick raises his hand baldrick raises his hand with a
middle finger extended ah because remember that's how they root people out they think people need a
serial number when they're operating on the streets when they ask for it you flip them off
god can do same sensible enough now that we are opposed to bleed the machine it is time that we
discover what exactly our aims are my expectation would be that vali myself and to an extent orrin
would quickly locate the leader of the local garrison and assassinate her i assume
there's the plan that good now with you two entering into the sewers without disguises
you must inform us of how you intend to get to her without triggering the alarms
huh i wasn't quite sure how that would work if we are entering the sewers dependent on where we emerge
into the main gallop floor i thought we were kind of oh i don't know just rahua kind of motions his
fingers in a walking motion like oh just kind of bust through and he thrusts his fist forward
so like that i think i thought we were just going to kill her rahua the reason we are going in through
the sewers is because they will not have nobility in that area if we encounter guards we can take care
of them however nobility will stay far and away from it and those would be ideally the people we'd
have qualms about removing since we're doing this carefully now and not just destroying the building
i see well i am not the stealthiest among us as you can tell that my frame is quite a deal bigger
than yours or or in being the smallest and also the fact that i am basically a living tree
precisely that's why you are on the stealth team
i like how you assume that the sewer team is the stealth team no the sewer team is not the stealth
team we're going in the sewer specifically because we would not be stealthy
they know who i am they they probably guess that rahua isn't supposed to be in the party
crotch sticks out like a sore thumb
you know my reason i suggested tanhauser initially it was because i was afraid he'd bark
about the revolution too much
that way only the sewer workers can hear him and be empowered
that is true we will unionize the sewer workers
add that to the notes spending a narrative declaration to ensure the sewer workers have a
appropriately compensated for their arduous occupation gm i would like to spend a hero point to ensure
that the sewer workers have a union um that goes beyond the uh the limit of hero points how about
all three of them three of them three of them's really tempting no okay sure no it's a joke continue
damn it the sewer workers union meanwhile there's like the sewer worker was like well mr baldrick
decided three hero points was too many guess i'm working a double ship over christmas again
why can't i plan the abandoned copper mines mommy because senator bill did not clear out the vampires
you too i was waiting for there to be a point war to where it's like i spent a hero point for a union
i spent a villa point for them all to get fired anyway i spent another i spent a hero point to get
rehired but they're rehired at lower paid i would like to spend a hero point to make sure that they
are called the poo poo boys union i would like to spend a hero point to continue true all right keep
going this is on you so the plan thus far this is just me urndel speaking the plan thus far is uh
tanhauser volley disguised as members of the tyrants guild with potentially benefits to their deceptions
and whatnot to go in through the front door or in scouting and then mead crunch and rahua going in
through the sewer it's a sewer attack and i'll stay behind here do hawkis waves that is correct yes
definitely stay behind oh of course lots of research to be done all right orin yeah
gotta move on and start looking out see if you can get us anything interesting before we meet up
hold on before we go is there any means we have to remain in contact with one another
while on the mission no i see i would like to with my preparation you have psionics stuff uh there
there is a spell um what's it called there there's a spell called uh there's what's this what's i think
it's the first level or something and you make a mark on something and you always know where that is
is i can't remember the spell um i think yeah let me let me see that's just like putting a rune on
something no there there's a thing that you can do the where it is a spell i don't know if tan
hauser would have access to it uh to where he could just literally just mark it on like on something be
like i know where orin is the entire time tanhauser does not have a lot of support spells
it is all murder all the way down
we don't have psionics okay okay well i can't remember the spell so i'm just gonna
dodge it for now but anyway orin will go lightly don't worry i know my way back i think
if you get lost yeah bread we're not no no stop
my point being we'll pick a location for us to meet before we all go off to our respective locations
you get scouting information and come back and then we will all go off and do what we need to
well where's the what what's the rendezvous point
uh balder consults a map of outset nearby yeah i assume you have like four different ones on your uh your
wall yeah he's gonna go with the new version the new version was put on lamellar paper it was made
from a papyrus instead of you know uh wheat so he's gonna do that and he looks at it and he realizes
there is a nice little open square area nearby that is relatively uncontested by anyone and is in fact
just an empty location here meet at bingham square
bingham square i didn't name it kid no that was me asking out of character that's more like bingus
square you know you do i need to explain the history of bingham square to you
why is it history it's called bingham square because one of the great delvers of the past
i think 40 years uh arcved bingham uh that was his name as people knew him well he uh he came back
after one expedition with an artifact of reasonable power and went insane and proceeded to go on a
rampage murdering guards and he was hung from the square oh so they named it after him see the
artifact that he took was so immensely cursed that it actually caused everything about the execution to
go horribly wrong until the last moment so they put up they put up the gallows to hang him the gallows
fell apart the day prior to him getting hanged they set up an executioner's block to chop his head off
the executioner's sword bounced off the wood and cracked in half stabbing the executioner in the eye
they tried to electrocute him using a couple of sourced mages uh both the mages experienced temporal
flux and exploded it was only at the last attempt when they have created this massive guillotine with
a number of other contraptions to destroy him all of them fell apart and he survived for exactly
one minute before one of the timbers of the guillotine fell and crushed into death that's if you
believe the official story it's a little too far-fetched to not be real well i know that some people
still believe he's out there to this day i was i was actually going to say like when vali was like so
so they they named after him no they named it after his ghost what you need to understand is i'm less
worried about bingham's ghost and i'm more worried about whatever the hell the artifact was that he found
well maybe we'll uh kill two birds with one stone we'll infiltrate we'll we'll kill the cardosa and um
then we'll find a cursed artifact no you don't want to because it was extremely bad luck
for who already what if we gave it to someone else i want to find a cursed artifact
to find a cursed artifact we are not finding bingham's artifact how cursed is cursed
let's not go there i just i'm a neutral question let's go to bingham's funny ghost square it was
before my time
and you expect me to give you to hawkis yes yes i want the story of bingham oh it's uh
not the story of bingham what do you know about the artifact because it was before my time
ah yes well um you see and she like like kind of like hobbles over a bit all right so bingham had gone
down several several layers into the buried city uh utilizing the the sinkhole uh you know in order
to to get further down now um when when they had done their expeditions they'd done so uh investigating
areas around the time of oh well um just prior to the prince's arrival here in outset which oh artifacts
from those times are quite strange you know there was at one point a fake agglomerate that ran the
city i think there was a uh a fundamental someone from amari came here then a plague wiped them out
oh it's just terrible there there was even a barbarian from terlim but no one knows what what
era bingham's discovery was was from but but what they did say about it is that people who looked at
it weren't the same there's like elevator music playing in volley's head proper noun proper noun
better exactly i think there's a couple depictions of what bingham looked like before and after he
found the artifact and what he looked like after was not pretty did he have a cool hat after oh he
had no i think he i think his i think his skull mutated and split open and did a whole bunch of
horrible crap i don't have any depictions because i don't keep those books though it was in a way a cool
hat thurston who are we to just change i apologize yes uh with your permission uh to start a session
and i guess new day can i rearrange some spells real quick absolutely animal messenger to help solve
our communication problem oh yeah yeah yeah because i was i remembered i was like oh right i'm a druid
got to remember that there it is uh animal i got it there's a cool thing i can do i could just like
drag this and hopefully that's how i want yeah yeah then i'm gonna get rid of that ability and then put
animal misser on this character sheet there we go i now have animal miss terrific so it takes remember
it takes a minute to cast but when you do so you can like yeah shoot it out yeah cool cool well
while he's been while he's been messing with his spells volley and baldrick have been discussing
what bingham could have looked like he might have had a sunken skull too
father do you have a you have like a red ribbon or a red piece of cloth or something um
fumbling around i would presume i'd have something that is a little bit more obvious
uh yeah like you you probably don't have like that colored ribbon or but you have a piece of
cloth and various alchemicals that could easily dye something red yeah i will do that then
uh as you're doing this crunch kind of walks up to you it appears uh my my dear friend we're
going to be in a squad together i'm quite excited yes i'm quite excited as well please i do hope you
don't fall on your back again and i have to get you up i agree i agree that would be most most
unfortunate now now now i'm not i haven't been part of the team very long do you have any like signals
or you know um alpha one and then i go behind and use my hammer in a certain way or or is there
something that i i should know to be the most assistance yes oh thanks for a moment well i don't
think we have any overt signals i suppose we could come up with some sort of call phrase if we were
to how how do you say pincer attack some horrible beastie normally the screams of our friends in pain
tells us to go help them that's about his coordinated things get often what would what would be a a good
a good uh such phrase for for two strapping heroes such as ourselves now mind you rahua is not exactly
the the strategizing type he hasn't been around on this this horrible horrible world long enough to
develop some sort of musketeer-esque rallying cry so the best rahua is going to have to give him is
uh get them
yes i like that i like that a lot and then we certainly are an envoy with your words sir
thank you crunch that was very kind of you and you are very much heavy with your armor thank you
anyways apologies and like crunch looks back to the rest of the room now that who and i have bonded you may
continue he ain't heavy he's my blacksmith
and fine last time i tried to tell a joke let's go
jumps out the window yeah there's a smoke bomb and you just go out of the bicycle as
so yeah that does actually that does actually remind me thurston i wanted to spend a little
bit more time prior to us departing to make some more alchemical stuff if that's not a problem
uh okay what exactly i just wanted to make some smoke sticks for everyone to use
you know what i'll i'll even assume you kind of like add them give me give me a crafting check and as
long as you don't botch it terribly uh i will let you assumedly have had some under construction oh
wait no i can actually just make regular ones since we could just i can just use some of my
stuff without having to do that if you want to yeah i would actually rather make the 24 hour versions
rather than like spend money to make it okay because that work sticks are cheap
yeah but how cheap they're twins it says they're 12 gold uh i mean okay i mean let me let me double
let me double check here that seems a bit a bit off but i could be wrong
smoke smoke smoke smoke you're smoking yet smoke there's fire uh i mean one of them is like only
like three gold so i'm not doing that that's all right uh so let me see that would be it's four plus
my intel my intelligence bonus right for the amount of craftables i can make uh let me quadruple check
because my level's four yeah um uh equal to your level plus your intelligence okay so i have eight
and we have one two three four five people yeah i'm not going to give crotch one because we can just
cover him okay then i will uh advanced alchemy up oh wait advanced alchemy means i can make
a bunch so i'll make six actually and using only three fantastic there you go
so using advanced alchemy and spending three of my stuff three of my uh infused ingredients i will make
six smoke sticks and pass them out between the group
who gets the extra ones i'll give it to crunch okay well crunch yeah okay that yeah okay perfect
excellent all right give everyone a smoke stick please smoke stick lesser okay i will i will get that
going nice okay what's everyone else uh wanted where are you gonna start heading out now um yes i'm sorry
uh bolly do you need to do a thing oh oh uh should we go ahead and put on the uh tyrant's guild
outfits or should we wait until we're in the alleyway to do that some we'll wait till we're somewhere
hidden to do that i think because if we just do that and saunter around this is true
this is true so i will just kind of fold it up tuck it tuck it under my jacket or something
probably wear it uh before you start infiltrating just go as yourself you know especially yeah
i will come with the rahua and be like rahua i need your help yes soren with what i need you to help
me catch a bird excuse me it's going to be the messenger we a little there's going to be a little bird
that kind of helps assemble everybody
okay i do you have any propositions how to catch this bird ah we'll figure it out as we go
come outside with me real quick and rahua will follow oran outside
okay so i want to cast animal messenger but i want to go about in a roundabout way
because it's an offer food or an ordinary tiny animal within range approaches to eat it and all
this other stuff i want rahua to basically be the enticing piece that like i want rahua to have
like a berry on him or something and have like birds come after him and we take our pick
okay
okay okay this is this isn't like actually like a saucer is going to come for for audio people i
just put a big saucer face on the screen it's just more the eyes are about my reaction to this plan
it kind of encompasses the dread i'm feeling so oran what you want me to do because you don't
have any food on you you want me to just pull something out of myself out of thin air to summon
these birds what do you think i am i mean you think i really do that you're mostly more like normally i
try to extend my hand out and the thing is a branch but i think you're a better subject to kind of attract
something here so then we can uh you know then i could talk to it and convince it to be our messenger
for today so i just need you to be as tree-like and as tantalizing the birds as possible
oh my god how does rihua feel about this do you really think that i am just some bevy
natural resources to be given out willy-nilly no you're my friend rihua oh that's very sweet
but you're wrong because i absolutely am and rihua will start opening up the various compartments
around his frame and pulling out some sort of berries uh because it's still in my inventory i
still have the pick spider legs so we're gonna try and attract any kind of animal that's avian
this is hulk is like i've been waiting this for this since session one he has a bunch of like rotten
spider legs in his body and the only thing he's gonna collect is a giant fly i mean if it works it works
you're gonna regret those words we're trying to we're trying to attract the attention of a crow
so if we could find a crow okay okay here hold my oh i'm right here he brings shut up that he
hands you uh his staff it's like bat away any other birds that's not a crow okay what could possibly go
wrong here what could possibly go wrong here rahul will take oren's staff and he will remember those
words okay okay you only want a crow as any other birds won't do for this mission okay only a crow now
repeat after me you have to make it nice and loud so they know that food's here and you're calling them
okay okay okay i look up to the sky go ah do that
like that like that i like the cast animal messenger and see what happens
so this is a minute it takes you a minute of this specific variant of a shitshow to occur um
um all right all right we could just go to somebody else no no no no no no no we're gonna
we're gonna get through this because you know uh rahua my friend my companion um you have
you have nature give me a nature check absolutely here i'll give you a nature check right now i'm so
scared oh that was almost in that one that's a 16 okay okay okay okay so like as you are you are
preparing your animal messenger oran um um all right so at this point like several birds uh present
themselves like different avians like there's there's you know oh a woodpecker a gull uh
uh like clearly just like all manner of of birds and finally after you know a minute or so of uh
rahua standing in the middle of the street pretending to be a tree um a single crow lands
and begins to peck at the uh exposed legs of the pick spider
now thurston oh god yeah sulky i am going to do what i was instructed to do by oran so i need
to if you if you need me to i i understand it's just the rules of the game yeah i need to violently
attack the other two birds that have appeared that's true you do uh would you like to give me
attack rolls i will okay uh first for the first for the the woodpecker and the gull will be second
i don't have stats for the axe i'm just going to use the mace that's okay i'm starting to think
hell might be real i'm just going to recreate the movie birds real fast hold up
hold my spell cast 90 on the die for a 28. uh so you fucking obliterate the woodpecker like the
woodpecker just explodes in like bones and viscera as your your uh like axe parts come down on it
it is it is it is it's not my fault he told me to do it and and then then then you you like terminator
turn your head towards the gull would you like to give me an attack roll on the gull sure do i
have to make a map minus four since the second attack i mean like depends did you take like a round
between no oh okay then yeah yeah yeah give me the mine i'm not sure how long did it take for
the second bird to come by after it watched me fucking atomize well i mean it's quite possible that
the second bird might fuck off the round after you murdered the other bird on it so the real question
is is kenrua let this bird escape that's a great question i have ranged attacks are you gonna
give the divine lance a fucking gull see i i feel bad about killing the woodpecker woodpeckers are
cool gulls are flying rats i don't fucking care if we kill it okay i need to point out oh wait
shit shit hold on every time you tried to use your divine lance on something specifically a chimkin
it didn't do anything he adds another spell though that is true use that one always
oh actually because i think we learned this as well are these like seagulls are they outset
oh that's a great question rahua and since you noticed yeah this one like as you look at this gull
it appears to have some like little objects attached to it like ah you you can tell it's it's got some
bling to it this little guy now and you recognize it as one of the outset gulls which you would know
impart a terrifying curse if they are ever fucked with that's like yeah that's a great bit of
clarification i appreciate you telling me that and me asking yeah i think a villain point for that like
what what i think i'm a normal one and now it's just like your entire entire generation will be
cursed for five million years bird yeah but he's rahua so it's just him it's true it's just rahua you're
still fine i think rahua would know enough to not fuck without outset gulls so i will against my
judgment because it's not a regular seagull i will so you obliterate the uh the woodpecker oh yeah
that woodpecker's still dead as shit yeah yeah then you give a knowing look to the gull and the gull
just flies the fuck away yes and then the crow lands and begins consuming evident or begins talking to
the crow like like kazooie from banjo kazooie like you know that speech like like just doing that at
it convincing you to be the messenger for today i'd like to uh spend i would like to spend a hero
point to be potentially game breaking if that's okay okay what do you what do you want to do i
want it to be our messenger for the evening so just like i've delivered a message and it just
disappears from reality all right like i will allow this myself down yeah this this guy's like yeah sure
i'll fucking deliver your messages all day since you know writers can't live without cell phones
anymore sure okay and and that's my bad i'm sorry for taking too long oh yeah yeah that that that is
definitely you have to be sorry about that no fuck that was great all right so the rest of you cut
probably finish up in baldrick's house as baldrick just finished handing out the smokesticks to see like
rahua um with like gore and feathers on part of him uh stop standing like an upright tree for
just a moment and go back to a more like agile pose as you exit
all right we hear speaker's chair in response that's the squeak oh no that's that's the that's
the sound that all of the outset gulls make of course yeah do you hear them yeah but it's beautiful
the birds they are singing is it no squeaker d squeaker d
anyway thank you all right so now that our bird massacre is concluded are we ready to head out gang
i'm not sure we needed to do that but yeah
is this some sort of ritual or who are that you bathe yourselves in the in the blood of animals to
scare your opponents no or and wanted me to find a crow so he just told me to kill anything that came
close his name's jeremy he puts the cloth out here you cannot name him jeremy we already had one
that was jeremy no no no no it was jeremy trust me it was jeremy i know i remember
i remember
uh it's uh it's jeffrey jeffrey
big jeffrey go scout now and he runs
uh yeah all right uh all right so in the sake of of uh not having another whatever the
fuck bit happens um you all make your way uh towards a derek sounder and house um or and you
had arrived early uh scoping out from one of the abandoned buildings opposite if you want to give me
a perception check uh just to represent what you uh what what you you suss out before your your allies
arrive we'll go with that sure thing sussy yes oh i got a i got a six on the die but it's 18 total
um the good or bad it's it's reasonable um it gives you enough to assess the the building it
matches up very much with the information that baldrick had provided you can tell that it is a
fairly large structure that overhangs the side of the sinkhole uh just along sort of like the the
western edge of it uh it also has one primary entrance there are some um there are some like
reasonable like sets of like plant life in the front uh just to the the south of the entrance or
sorry just to the further west of the entrance there's a large fountain uh that like spews water
it's one of the few opulent displays in this district that you've seen uh there are two kind
of like side buildings uh that only go up a single floor that you can you can spot uh sort of like little
squat areas you're guessing they're probably like support for the the larger structure itself
um and you can see that both of these two buildings have square or semi-circular uh skylights so you're
kind of up about two store two or three stories in one of these sort of abandoned buildings nearby
looking down at this structure and you can see that there are points where you could glide in to get
access through um like a skylight sort of area a left or right building essentially you know they're
all part of the same bigger structure they're just sort of like side side structures first since often
i do this could you give us a bit of a visual representation of what you were doing i was a
little i was having a hard time following that okay um do the drawing it's like a doodle if you want
put a yeah yeah one sec i'll give i'll give you a doodle uh just to do that or i can doodle
let me let me let me figure out a doodle lemma lemma do a doodle here
uh i just need to set something up so i can see it on the other monitor so i can share this all with you
really quick
how's everybody doing hope you're all doing great love your faces i'm totally not imagining orange
scribbling down on a piece of paper as he's doing a scouting mission yeah and like you're all gonna
come scrumbling
try free hand sure i think i think this will work okay so there's like
hey chat how's it going
everyone's uh everyone's having a good time everyone's having a bad time yeah i hope i'm doing
terrible okay here's here's here's my terrible picture okay great um here we go so there's like
what what picture okay picture let's see your picture okay do you see it in the top right corner
you should no really don't see no oh wait you're on the city streets that would be why we're on the
city streets usually there's nothing die i showed you nothing um well then fine here i will bring you
back here but okay top right corner i've done like a really terrible sketch here um look you can all
judge me i don't care this is just this is just how i do okay that that's some that's a that's a chimney
i don't know about us if i if i didn't know fuck up all the audio i just quit the server right
among us golem okay so so like okay so there's like this bit wait no okay god damn it okay well
looking out it's now there's an amokas there okay good um all right so there's like the door that's
there um and then there is like these little like skylights here um and this section like here
this like bigger part is is what rises up these sort of areas here on the side these only now it looks
like a fucking carriage um these these sort of areas on the side here those only go up one story
so you could like glide down and go through those like skylights this like this area here kind of goes
up the equivalent of like three maybe even four stories uh based on what you have from baldrick
you would know that that area is where like the gala room is in the back here
and then there's something underneath it but you don't know what
i'm gonna yeah okay there we go there's there there's the among us does that give you a rough
example orange doodles all this down okay yeah probably better than this is fine okay so yeah
looks like the cathedral from black and white too
yes maybe yeah i don't know oh anywho this is why i get professionals to draw my maps because
fuck okay so um so you you you sort of come across um and i should also point out that there's like
as i mentioned there's like a fountain outside oh and then there's basically
like a big sort of courtyard area that's all like locked in and fenced in so you like or and you
could glide to this like sort of over overhang area if you want to uh anyone else would sort of have to
come through the courtyard like if you wanted to uh go inside and then you know the sewer access
would probably come in through the basement that you can't see ta-da
uh you did it all right so what is the plan my companion friends
same as before all right so we begin with we begin with sir oran gliding in to to get us intel is that
correct well presumably oran has already given us as much as information as he can get yeah i i as he
was up there doodling he came back to everyone and he went up to baldrick and he was like hey mr
baldrick here i gotta lay out of the place here you go and he hands you a piece of parchment like
super proud of it but it's like crayon scribbles like he hands me a giant sheet of parchment with just an
among us on it yeah way to hurt my feelings or no no yes but it's all just it's it's super vague you
have no idea what anything is there's like notes of like bad guys here with a giant arrow vaguely in
an area right well i will assume the path of the sewer is still the same as it has been
as far as as far as you know yeah the way that the sewer path worked was that there is a
an exterior entrance to this place so you could go through that entrance you just use the sewers to
get along sort of down maybe two or three stories um on the side of the sinkhole essentially using a
sewage pipe that like pushes stuff into the sinkhole and then going through there
all right so you're still going up through the top
yeah i'll fly over maybe on this left side here
all right and volley and ten hauser going straight up the front
yeah did you see anything inside oran anything strange did i see anything inside
with your perception jack you saw that there were some some shadows moving around through the
the windows like either there's like a large window that overlooks the the main entrance
and you saw some shadows probably guessing there were maybe three figures there moving back and
forth routinely i relayed that information everybody okay hmm um probably do i have that ability to
enchant people's weapons with the moss enchantment right like once uh yeah so so that is a first
level spell uh let me just drop it in the the thing here
yeah yeah yeah basically basically as we set that up uh davis and oran's gonna come up to tanhauser
got it mr tanhauser
it only lasts for a minute though so it's not not like a super long it's more like a magic weapon type
thing you'd use in combat or whatever right mr tanhauser approaches you like shepherd approaches rex
tanhauser oran yeah oran yeah tanhauser uh what i
give it to okay i like some two minutes never mind i had a spell called spider climb and i was gonna go
here you go tanhauser
that would've been fucking cool yeah but i that would also probably thrown off my disguise a little
bit if i just walk up to the front door crawling on all the walls hey what's up everyone i'm your
new guy it's the tyrant skill that may not be that weird yeah no it would be it would be sad they
don't have spiders probably so yeah if you show up from work in your head spinning 360 degrees spewing
out green ick i think they give you a promotion damn this really is a dystopian society even the
elites can't afford spiders all righty so um my my understanding to kick off this absolute
shitshow uh oran you're going to to glide in a bit before everyone else to do some initial
reconnaissance through the through that window um then uh simultaneously we will have rahua baldrick
and crunch going into the the underground sewer access point and then we will have tanhauser
and volley going through the front door is that correct yes yes all right then let us let us
begin with uh with our sweet bird boy since our sweet bird boy is the one who is uh going in first
and presumably can warn others of things all right um you are gliding if i'm correct um you want to uh
you want to you want to give me a little little check to see how your glide goes over to this building
come on up live boy die yeah what do i need to give you uh so i believe in this case um
um damage i think it's just gonna be
is it athletics yeah if i'm long jumping it'd be in athletics the following the finally part
kind of gets kind of mister mysterious because it's like i can only jump so far and then the
gliding parts just i just fall yeah i'll i'll give i'll give you a little little bit of a narrative
leeway here but just give me the athletics check to see if you you know get the good uh
i got a 21 a 21 okay so you manage to to land atop the the leftmost structure um you can see that
there is a a like a basically a skylight that looks overlooks it uh there is a a small locking
mechanism though it doesn't require a key or anything it's just a latch mostly uh that allows
you to to pop this open it overlooks what appears to be some kind of washroom you can see that there
are uh white like marble tiles uh three like sink wash basins a bit of a like couch chair in the
corner uh and then you can see the doors into what are the the the individual toilets in the area
okay okay we're gonna gotta sneak around see what's about where all the stalls are empty okay so you're
gonna like drop in after you've you've like popped up in the latch and stuff yeah yeah kind of drop in
there okay absolutely uh are you trying to do this quietly yes you want to give me a stealth check my
friend plus two stealth hell yeah yeah i'm sorry i'm sorry i feel like i've been talking for way too much
uh don't apologize you're fine yeah sorry uh my stealth check is a 21. okay so you are going to hop and
land in here um i am going to now and hopefully this will work uh all of you are going to get a black
screen i apologize for this uh
oop okay uh it should have preloaded but it might take a sec all right um and then you just need to
find yourself there you go all right you find yourself landing into this lovely washroom uh you can
see two of them yeah they do uh two of the stalls are open uh two of them are closed uh you land like
making very very little little sound like kind of like a slight as you land
okay we're just gonna do a perception check listening okay yeah absolutely
i hope i saw that one i got a 19 i'm a perception check
huh huh huh huh huh huh uh uh really
thurston no i'm not doing this bit bit's bad no banished no no toilet humor please hello
horn doesn't want to speak are you there
why is mickey mouse shitting in this bathroom
but thurston you you wasted your one chance please please tell me you're not please tell me you're not
with them uh maintenance oh i didn't hear the door open
um look i i'm running out of sounds to make to make them think i'm still in here okay
but why do you have to make sounds you could have just been quiet the entire time
because they just because because i need them to know i'm still in here because because if if i don't
they'll they'll take me to the big room with the rest of them what do you mean big room with the
rest of them you mean the party uh-huh i mean hey come on you don't have to be so afraid of parties
look i understand that sometimes people are a little bit afraid to socialize out there and
if you're having problems socializing i can help you out man
uh you know you don't quite uh understand the people who went in that room they there's something
weird happened to their eyes and i don't want to i don't i don't want to go there look sometimes
sometimes you know substances and everything can make everybody look just a little bit scary
like you can just come on out and we'll just you know introduce you to everybody you know it's like
like i feel like you just need a wingman to help you get to meet people i was i was just thinking i
could could stay in here you know i i i mean maybe maybe i'd die in here but i could stay here
and it might be better than whatever happened to those those other people wait let me die on other
people oh well their eyes their their eyes right uh so so i was just gonna gonna stay in here um
i i i i don't know if if like you die and you become some kind of like some kind of special ghost
that haunts toilets but i think i'm just gonna live here now
okay well i want to go out there soon and everything is there anything else i should worry
about um well um there's there's some there's some abasers in the main foyer there uh that that
they're just just guarding making sure no one leaves or uh you know looking after people uh
but but but but a lot of the others are most of them are up in the up in the second floor uh but
that door that door got locked don't know how to get in there right now
okay well you hang out here and i'll uh we'll go scope things up oh okay i can't leave if i wanted
to uh the handle and here's broken ah good luck man and oran's gonna change it to his disguise i
said he got i love this curse of monkey island bit
oran's i i assume i have a disguise and everything
uh you want to give me guys you want to give me a deception check
what the hell what is this what the hell
prompts i'll get you out of here save him and out of here leave
kill him and why his dots
it's a telltale game man what on earth are you doing that nothing all right you want to do that
check check it's all gone over my head all right self check or deception rather my bad
minus one here we go you must deceive the telltale prompt i got a four
you got a four okay um oh you really don't know how to put this tyrant's guilt equipment on
it's all disheveled and mismatched the buttons are on wrong your chicken legs
legs are very obvious um the the like the mask is on upside down somehow
all right oran's going to um i guess this is the main door over here
uh yeah okay he's going to peek out
uh sure yeah give me open the door and give me a stealth check at the same time okay
okay also could you put observation with everybody on my token like it's okay if they
just i've all filled back
sorry it becomes a big change here's my stuff i got a natural 20.
yeah you are you are absolutely uh
uh the quietest quiet whoever quieted as you like peek open the door and you can
see what the right um you could see several uh figures in the hall um members of the tyrant's
guild you can see essentially the the this this is large entry foyer has uh two sets of stairs that
spiral up or sorry curve up to a second floor uh where there's like alchemy you can see that there's
like red carpet in here uh there's an abacer who's maybe 15 20 feet away from you just sort of
patrolling uh each of them are similar to the ones you you encountered on the streets they're they're
like clutching on to uh swords and shields and they appear to just be doing like routine patrols of
this foyer where all the doors are currently closed
okay orange going into then uh cast cast pest form okay and he's going to burn into a
actually never called knowledge do they like the tyrant skills like cats or anything need
significance to them ah that'd be like like individual per person as far as you're aware
okay he's just gonna turn to uh to a rat then and then try to scurry around then
you see if i can put
yeah i can't put it on me right now but yeah i basically am right now okay absolutely
okay so you like like adjust into a rat
okay uh and then you want to just like go out into the front area
yeah i want to try to meet up at the front so i can help uh like ten hauser and volly and
stuff and try to feed them information okay you want to like make your way there yeah scurry like
go behind and then go behind that guy and then scurry this way yeah and i assume i could slip under
the door
yeah um give me an acrobatics check you gotta attack him
i'm so sorry guys like i'm trying to go through this you guys can play too
another natural toy oh yes christ okay uh you're able to like shake your giant ass
out and like push push yourself uh propelling yourself under the door kind of flying forward
towards the um towards the fountain uh to the west this is kind of off orientation but like
basically like your south uh just as you can see um volley and tanhauser can both of you give me
deception checks as well of course for for audio people who are unaware we have had three net 20s so
far yeah um you want to drag my token to where i can see things and i see just a ball that's the
that's the end of the map i don't have the fountain or anything here oh okay i'm sorry yeah so in lieu of
a deception check i'm going to roll my society thanks to my feet okay i'm going to deception
oh 19 uh yeah volley you look very imposing as a member of the tyrants guild uh tanhauser you you have
like a passable appearance with it um like you can tell you both look the part but volley really
looks the part uh and so to that to that extent um or and as you come out you can see your your two
allies there's enough of your your friends to sort of give away their their appearance as they're
approaching though for a moment you have to double take volley as she like walks uh from well basically
entering into the into the place by by the fountain you have to double take a bit as volley
appears very much to look like she is uh at home as a member of the tyrants guild
okay i assume uh assume i'm seeing this and everything do i see any like obstacles in their
way like to try to communicate to them like this area is entirely open okay so like no one's in it
no one on the walls okay uh i'm gonna slip back inside okay or yeah or before i do that i'm gonna
basically try to call in crow friends and just try to communicate via rat speak to be all like all right
go and go and call four times near them and hopefully they pick it up there's like there's four people
spotted so far and then meet me back at the door and then orange it'll okay okay okay this is where
i have to kind of this is where i have to kind of call it call it out though because like the messenger
just lets you deliver physical messages you can't like talk to this bird what
i was doing with the juan juan thing you know uh yes yeah you asked could i have it deliver multiple
messages i'm like sure not i can magically speak bird now also the bird can understand like my things
also my allies can like understand this fucking like the tactical operative planning no
if it is if there's any consolations orin this is very in line with what orin would try to do
oh absolutely yeah no regardless regardless crow frank could wait on top of the bathroom he's
going to squeeze back in and go in the kid the crow just comes in and picks up orin instead because
he's a rat no new one
yeah so basically he's he's sliding through and if possible i like to squeeze through this
being door possible okay um yeah give me another acrobatics check for this door
to waiting for one of the doors to just crush me oh yeah exactly that is a 23 total okay that'll
uh it'll pop you through the door all right you emerge into a very very large space um it appears to
be a gala chamber with replaced with tables there are several nobles that are are standing around
they are they aren't sitting at the tables that they're arrayed around but they are standing uh
somewhat rigidly staring off almost blindly into the distance you can catch the face of one of them
from the side as she just looks looks again towards a wall without moving uh the strange thing about this
one is there's a slight luminosity to her eyes her eyes rather than having the the typical appearance
actually seem to just like glow with a whitish almost or orange yellow light
okay all right the battle plan just kind of summarize i'm going to go back to the bathroom
and then get out of pest form before it runs out and then scroll down everything he's seen he tries
to give a general layout of the area position of people etc as quick as he can like it's not going
to look pretty but he tries to do what he can and add notes of like people's eyes are glowing um there
are people scared in bathroom etc and try to roll that up and uh have the crow i'm hoping he could come
down and he could release the crow out to go deliver it to volly and tannhauser because i suspect
no one's going to be able to see a crow give him a message because when we spotted around we couldn't
see anybody but that's that's yeah there's no one in that courtyard so yeah you can you can sort of
here i'll i'll shimmy back uh you kind of like run back this way go into the bathroom um once you're in
the bathroom you kind of like start sketching this all down the the the crow sort of full like flies
in like as like like you have to call for the crow but the doors close so it's just the person that
follows like are you talking to someone yeah don't worry about it oh okay okay um are the guards gone
yet no they're still here man like you're gonna be here for a while so bro i guess i am gonna be a
ghost okay uh you'll be fine go god yeah like the crow comes out flies the like equivalent of two
feet to land by valley and tannhauser who you know have been waiting for any kind of sign um there is
this hastily hastily scrawled note uh from orin that you you have delivered by this crow
what what does the note say and i say is it legible all right zoran here you go
shit
i make it simple do you can't can i roll a crafting check oh my gosh it's okay fine sure sure sure
because i want the dice to determine how shitty it is oh no jam i'd like to spend a hero point to
have his pest form run out prematurely and and get crushed by the door no no i want to i want to
hero point that three okay my god 20 on an acrobatics check what the four twenty god damn it all right so
it's like it's like you know i i it's like a civil war letter like dear tannhauser in bali it has been like
too long since i left side dear mario please come to my home i baked you a cake love peach
oh my god it's got a little doodle for many a day
the hour the hours have been stretched so long and my tiny rat mind has seemingly become months
i have it is just this long stupid just like i was like here is an accurate description of all of them
and why would their list of fears that i've suspected being rats for for so long here you
are may may the wings fly you ever forward love orin little happy orin face and he was legit in there
for like a minute
holding this letter out in front of tannhauser just oh my god it's got like a photo realistic doodle of
him like doing a thumbs up i didn't even know he could read i i'm sorry to distract real quick
elliott posted a really good thing in the campaign memes chat oh no
the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the oh god all right yeah i'm gonna give this a look over
all right tanny so we've got some guards out front weird eye mutations on the people inside
apparently this isn't something they came in with maybe we should try and interrogate that guy in the
bathroom perhaps so or we just walk in and try and find the martinet perhaps a man hiding could lead
us to it in either case it's time we made our move right all right different lip and all
gonna like salute him and i'll return the salute just follow my lead these people are animals and they
only respect brutality and i'm going to open the door yep and just walk in like i belong here
yeah click that button open the door all right and i'm i'm following behind him uh very
very stiffly intruder shut the gates
uh one of the one of the ones on the the sort of curving stairs that lead up to the second floor
starts stepping down the steps hails you with a hand tanhauser uh spots you you slightly behind volley
well hi there i am it relieve you relieve us we were we were told that there wasn't going to be relief for
for at least another eight hours
well then it should be a pleasant surprise
well then it should be a pleasant surprise um this is not such as you know who sent us yeah uh oh
we would know we would know the the the commanders in the area yeah um no
baldrick doesn't even know that oh we were given a general order for relief we've come from a recently
pacified aspect of the city but but but but who gave the order i'm afraid that that is confidential
you're on a highly sensitive mission um martinet's ears only
i've been working in this uh this this region for the past nine years friend uh give me your serial number
what your serial number assuming you're not a traitor
thurston remember
yes i'm i'm remembering uh do you want to give me do you want to give me a deception check here tanhauser
i would love to assist him with one
thurston you've got a hero point and i gave a 28 yeah so you will get a plus four um 15 enough to do
it uh one sec did you also rule society is that the same as your deception oh my deception is dog
shit but since i since i have the ability to substitute society when attempting to blend in
with the upper echelons such as nobility and presumably these tyrants cards i could just use
my society in lieu of it uh see in this case though you're not making an impression you're like okay
wait you can okay you still need to i if you want to impersonate a specific noble you'd still have to
use deception to lie so it works for life okay okay okay um but you're trying to be a tyrant's guard
um all right well let's see here uh so that's gonna be a 15 it's gonna be opposed uh let's see maybe i
fucking flub this roll terribly uh if it's gonna be opposed i'll use a hero point to reroll it yeah okay
oh take that now it's a 19 19 all things considered okay
oh
i'm gonna have to uh um go speak to the to the on watch commander you you two wait here
will we give him bad information or something just uh just need to check starts like walking off this
way uh comes down to this door here opens this door uh watch him comes this way close the door
i'm gonna turn to one on can you believe this fucking guy
well proper procedures and all uh like is is during this is like oren like like ear against the wall
listening like yeah i was about to say like uh have i been able like to peek and listen the entire time
yeah yeah like you you kind of rolled previously for for doing that so i assume you kind of are able
to keep it going okay um oren sees an opportunity okay up to the guy in the stall
and he tells them hey friend i need you to sound like you're taking the biggest
shit you've ever had in your entire life i need i need raucous i need raucous sound man i need you to
make a symphony right now as loud as you can like you were in pain and you're being murdered at the
same time first thing we cut to the sewer oh um oh well i i suppose i could uh um oh wait i suppose
i just uh just right now and he kicks the door oh okay uh and with like as soon as we hear the like
the show we cut to the sewer um crunch and crunch and rahua and
fucking baldrick you were you were walking uh currently through through this like section of uh
through this section of of sewer that through a grate that's sort of overlooking the sinkhole you're
about to reach the end of it though okay so what does that mean for us specifically like do we
basically you're you're about to reach the end of the sinkhole which will allow you to leave and
like presumably gain access to this building it looks it appears to be just just ahead and then we'll
have to i suppose walk along sort of the the the edge there that is the plan
uh yeah and as as that happens you do find yourselves uh able to to walk along the edge of
this section um let me see here
the goal is to go for a very large outflow pipe yeah yeah and you you manage to like exit the outflow
pipe and come along a side section of the wall uh this is on a lower level and you can see that you're
like sort of on the on the stone um now like curved chunks of stone along the edge of the sinkhole as
you are walking you can see that there is a walkway that seems to jut out from the building with the vast
majority of the building held up underneath it i'm just going to move us over to this scene
and uh we should see yeah you should see your group they're kind of coming along this the stone
area there's a like a little wooden walkway that appears to go into a structure uh further to the
east you can see this like this walkway there's uh like multi-colored light that sort of shines down
from lighting in the building above so right where you are there is the building sort of overhanging above
you okay all right so here's the plan don't go too far forward out or else they'll spot us from the
windows of course of course we should stick to the wall like this crotch like throws himself up against
the wall yeah
but that baldrick is going to get closer to the wall as well and beckon rohue over to the wall
rohue will follow suit and put himself against the wall okay he's going to inch up to the wooden
opening just so i can peer around it without making like too much effort about it yeah you want to
give me a stealth check yes i'll give you stealth still foreign fucking eating all the goddamn 20s
leaving us with nothing yeah that's how that works yes the ones here comes the one uh let's see
i need i want to ask first and foremost uh thurston yes will i be getting if i if i do a
assurance and get a 16 will that be enough uh that would be in a post check so it depends on if
there's anyone nearby but 16 would be pretty good here um i would probably say you'd be good
i want to think about it because it's like i got 50 50 to do better uh yeah you know what i'll just
do an assurance on that okay yeah so you like solid snake up against the wall uh make your way move
around um so for those of you who are watching by the way uh what that means is baldrick took the
assurance feat which just allows him to bypass uh having to roll dice for certain skills it generally
kind of bumps you slightly below average but it means you get a guaranteed roll so in this case he
gets a 16 which is not bad at all uh and manages to yeah uh get get access to what is essentially like
a little a little like stone hall uh that's inside the building and there is a section of door uh near to
the to the south that appears to be like a secret door but the opposite side of one so interesting there
uh let me just make sure that we're not bumbling anywhere else so that really is about the end of
our rope here so to speak it's like we can go a little bit further this way but then that it just
cuts off it cuts off exactly this is kind of like the these side entrance that you can find here
all right okay so i'm going to very carefully approach uh is there anything off about this
little corridor here um as you're sort of checking it out you can tell that it does like hasn't seen a
lot of use so this is clearly some kind of back entrance or other secret entrance perhaps an escape route
interesting uh he's gonna beckon rahua and crunch over or crotch this way clang clang clang
all right so me and rahua are gonna go inside crunch you are pretty fairly immovable this looks
like an exit zone here like a secret escape should i set up my shield facing that way to prevent any
near to us from um perhaps uh departing this area i would say duck into this alcove after me and him
go inside and then just watch make sure nothing comes in or goes out of course if something goes
wrong make a loud noise of course i i i have your back friends good yes all right baldrick is going
to slink down the corridor okay you go into darkness here do you have a light source i can conjure up a
tender twig yeah sure so i'll just give you a little bit of light here
how long does a tender twig last oh excuse me a tender twig just lets me light something it's not
actually a uh it's basically a match okay would i have a torch
for who can i bar can i did can i damage you to make a torch
you could also recall can i think can also cast light right for who that is correct i can cast light as
a cantrip i wish you did that no i do that also remember there's some of the tokens there's
yeah yeah fair is there one on the oh yeah okay whoop there you go i got what i got i got it on you
rahua so rahua you light something up i'm assuming yes his eyepiece lights up cool i don't have him
specifically in the alcove when he lights up so he doesn't like create a flashbang out on the
yeah and like crunch comes up behind and sort of shields a lot of light with his shield
ding okay so this door the secret passage thing it's got two handholds on it looks like you could
just pull it open are there any pinpricks of light coming through it at all no it looks like it goes
flush up against the wall here let me think about what i could possibly do to do this sure
no i don't have anything that would really help me get in here i'm gonna do another
i'm gonna do another stealth assurance to just carefully crack it open okay yeah uh you can click
the door open all right so what you see inside is the interior of a prison something you are very
familiar with from dealing with the tyrants guild uh there's there's blood splattered over the floor
you can see two of the abasers standing sort of half at ease half at attention um by like some various
uh implements of of their trade a door to the north that's clearly where the bridge goes and then several
visible open stalls now uh or sorry visible open like cells uh with with just bars preventing
escape from them what you do see is sort of close as you as you open the door and peer is is is a
figure in the only one inside one of the cells here uh who sort of leans over uh looking at you as you
you kind of crack it open the abasers seemingly not uh noticing you but this one definitely uh making
contact with you i'm presuming you mean the prisoner here yes and um i don't know what's
what's this child say as they make eye contact with baldrick who are you asking that for oh
fuck hungover peasant child gonna peer around hi mister hi you got any um got any vintage
baldrick holds a finger up to the bottom of his helmet as in be quiet
i'll be quiet if you have
i i'm going to uh think about this real quick no no no because uh
i mean let me just check my my proficiencies here uh intimidation's not very good uh
i intimidate each other yeah you know what well well baldrick is figuring this out i think we've
set up enough spinning plates why don't we take our break here
i needed exactly one second to see how big my intimidate was
yeah let's uh let's take a quick break everybody we will catch you all here in a
little bit enjoy some fan art from the community we'll see ball here in a little bit as our

would see the peasant child saw him in a dream you want the one for my dreams and is the peasant child
in the room with us right now yes oh my god can i have some more wine no dot let's put a dot sensor here
but uh so to find it again let's don't get the smoke stick smoke stick just throw it
it's gonna get a sensor bar put over my face i don't want people to know what i look like
let's get a sensor like you're looking at me
all right but we are back what do you got for us all right so as we return um i believe uh
you are convincing a person in a bathroom stall to shout very loudly or and uh to prove as a
distraction for your allies so we will come back to that terrifying thing which as much as i'm sure
chat would love to to hear me yell and shout i'll i'll save all your ears of the horrible cacophony
that begins to emanate out from the bathroom uh as both uh tannhauser and valley hear this this
awful sound of screaming shouts coming from the west and like the the abasers immediately turn
like looking confused oh gods
go go youtube go yep yep yep got it uh and i'm gonna start running in that direction okay you can see
that like two two of the guards are already making their way well the other no no you no you
oh wait there wait there all that's happening uh yes oran yeah pest farm rat hide under i assume
this like cushion ottoman setting thing you should dash under there and be like ah rat form go
okay pause by the way there you go there you go yeah he's gonna wrap for him down that way
with his second focus point he has one left
uh right everything okay in here
ah i just just just still still going in here oh uh uh you should return to the party sir oh oh no no
you don't want me there right now
you sure everything's okay in there like you see the abaser approaching the stall then we cut
back to like oran and volley and tan or sorry tanhauser and volley with the baser here gods
it's like a baser sort of like looks over never ends this job deal with the runs
it's one of the one of the nobles who didn't go into the to the main hall the martinet wanted them
all in there but he scurried off to the to the washroom has been in there for a few hours now
oh should you say why was that funny was that supposed to be funny yeah you're right
uh well said he just uh wasn't feeling good
i think we should go in and take him out and put him in with the rest of them
hi roy uh you guys need assistance over there yeah you know what ah you two these two new new
folks we're gonna use them they'll they'll bring the uh if we're not here for relief you might as well
put us to work that's right all right you two get going go to the bathroom okay and the other guy
standing in the way kind of walks out of the the path
all right excuse me i'm gonna approach the door we're gonna we're gonna need to we're gonna need
to to break over this door because he's not coming out oh this is just real serious in here
well what are you gonna do if he's got the runs ugh
you said you you wanted to be put to work so so get cracking on that door fine
i'm gonna bang on it all right one more chance
oh i'm good i think i think i'm all partied out i just want to go home now
and what the hell i'm so scared of come on i'm gonna start jiggling the door
uh you could you can tell that like the door is self-closing the doorknob on this side is like
like working fine and you could just open it oh oh okay i just open it okay yeah click it
all right so standing there like standing tall not like on the toilet or anything
is is this this beautiful specimen of a rat folk who is standing tall and proud uh with like glasses
clearly has been sitting down like and like fully attired clearly was not using the toilet oh oh hi um i was
just finishing up right are you gonna get out oh i guess listen i'm gonna turn to the other guard
if he's gonna stink up the place should we just toss him out i should i should point out there's no smells
at all oh do i gaslight this guard into thinking there is one you do you have the skills with which
you could possibly try to do that yes i do i have deception plus 11. gaslight girl boss here we go
i'm gonna gaslight gatekeep girl boss gaslighting with methane exactly um and i'm gonna um
just kind of i guess i'll let tan hauser pick up on what i'm putting down i'm gonna um stagger back and
get a hold my nose and just kind of uh i'm gonna try to gaslight this guard
what smells atrocious in here 28. you know um no um well um
i wonder if i smell anything um oh oh it's it's that's awful that's no
i'm gonna reach over and i'm just gonna grab this rat man by the collar
you're coming with me and i'm going to begin dragging him
uh and i'm just going to go in here you thought you're going to stink up
i'll show you and i'm gonna drag him to the door
as he's going can orne like stealth with them the commotion as rat
here give me a stealth check thank you all right keep going ten answer
yeah and i'm just gonna just gonna drag him to the door okay uh
okay uh yeah yeah you drag this this poor this poor rat man to the door oh
and i'm just gonna kick him on his ass and just throw him out i don't come back
oh goodness gracious oh i'm gonna just close the door and
well hopefully that dissipates eh vali please do a wretch action to really bring it in
as you do that and like like tanhouser as you kick this the the the the the toilet stall noble out
of the uh the establishment uh as you turn around from that and uh or and you see this too
um you can see that like very methodically each of the the abasers here have now drawn their weapons
oh um
we were under very explicit orders not to let anyone out we very yeah i don't think you're
more when we didn't receive those orders did we you chose to block us up with red tape where we have
information patterns in it if you keep obstructing justice like this i'll have you skinned alive
can i make intimidate yeah absolutely go intimidate him
i'll uh activate nanite surge sure fill him with bees all right 26
jesus uh he is he is particularly cowed by this like takes a step back he's more scared of you
though like you can tell that like you've scared him with your your rhetoric but like he still doesn't
believe the rhetoric like you you have delivered an impassioned like terrifying speech to him
which is in no way based in his reality
so he is more like he's scared of you at this point um i'll take that i mean it's probably unlikely
that we could ever actually shift their reality so let's uh take advantage of this i'm taking my
soldiers to see the martinet if you want to stop me you'll be the first body to fall get your
rocks together we're the tyrants killed and i'm going to begin moving forward calling volley to my
side squeak squeak oh shit i'm gonna turn to the guy in the bathroom now he's all worked up i'm gonna go
see what the problem is okay um and like he sort of backs up the other two like don't take like
any aggressive actions though it's very clear they start moving as well um they're sort of like
following you volley but like quickly move past you uh and you can see this like host is moving this way
uh all right so uh tanhouser you were going where um upstairs i think yeah absolutely do we have
okay do we have even the slightest idea where the martinet could be uh we saw that guy go to talk to
her right now gonna talk to the commander yeah not the martinet uh it's probably uh pertinent that
we go into that room anyhow well there's a commander in there we can well that's where they're all
going it's kind of clear they no longer believe our disguises at all and that seems to be where the
largest like concentration of them are and we're not the full party so it might be that the commander
is not there and the actual martinet is somewhere in the upper levels uh and if not we can probably
find a tyrant skilled guy i mean we just look like tyrant skilled people once we go upstairs they're
probably gonna have a hard time telling us apart from the pack this is true
like even if they say oh my god one of the tyrant skilled it's there's in in infiltrators they're
like not going to know which ones are us we can turn them against each other they they also yeah it's
literally among us among us among us i'm gonna fucking scream we're gonna turn the tyrant's guild
into among us and the tyrant's guild does specifically not use id tags so they literally
have nothing to go on so let's just head up i agree okay yeah i'm on board for this plan i think we can
save it squeak squeak our our utility of deception is not to maintain a cover for as long as possible
it's to get us in the door so we can make a mess of things okay it's nicely stairs um there's a
lovely like balcony with a set of doors the the doors are impressive uh wooden wooden doors with with
elegant frescoes on them depicting the heroic tyrant's guild soldiers putting down vile insurrectionists
uh they they they have like sort of a gold filigree embossed along this like otherwise marble wall
here um yeah and there appears to be a handle with a keyhole in it okay so there are two doors
where you guys go up the stairs you'll see like the rat come up and like get like a military stance
look around left right do a roll forward and then like gives the all clear oh shit a rat no oh
shit all right um okay i'm gonna look at both of these doors um do they look like they lead to the same
area or is it two separate rooms uh hard to tell like you guess it could be leading to like a similar
area you haven't volley you haven't had a chance to look around the building much so you don't know
the full layout but like it could be two separate areas potentially all right um i'm gonna quickly
take a peek into the keyhole and just kind of see if there's somebody in there as you peek into the
keyhole you can tell that it does not go all the way through interesting uh second door has the
same kind of set up exactly yeah okay uh i'm gonna just i'm gonna try the door handle
sure uh you could tell that it is locked as you attempt to to open it um interesting going to look
at our rat friend can you sneak underneath the floor or gives a rat thumbs up and over to the door
yeah if we can get into a room with a bunch of tyrants guild members flip the lights off and
create some confusion i i think we can i think we can pull it off flip the lights off yes we flip the
lights off and then we like shuffle in with everyone this this outset electricity that we have
may i squeeze down the door the the like the spacing on this door is incredibly small uh it will be
incredibly difficult for you to squeeze under it with an acrobatics check you can make one but it do
it you can tell okay uh-oh rats can go anywhere okay
okay not with a 19 still not enough oh
squeak you're like your your butt is way too big like both panhouser and volley you see like the rat
gets kind of sick you aren't even able to like peek your head under it either like it's it's got some
thickness to this door as well i'm too thick squeak sorry interesting um i could attempt to pick the
lock but that would that would give us away well no one's looking right now
well whoever inside would know that we're up to something we would just look like we have the key
maybe though we don't have a key well yeah but like the door opens they're not going to be
checking your hands make sure you have a key they'll assume that you unlocked it and then opened it doors
are locked right yes yeah okay okay um in that case i will attempt a thievery to try and
quickly pick it absolutely all right i have a decent thievery let's go 19 19 is not enough to
pick this lock should i hear yourself like having difficulty getting through there's a lot of complex
systems you can tell that's probably why you can't see through the keyhole too there's probably an advanced
lock lock in it given you rolled a nine i would say try for it yeah well uh it can only get better
right no but it's last words i gotta spend a hero point i wrote a hero point please it's worse oh i saw it
on the 20. no you can tell you had all the tumblers lined up and then that dice rolled just a little bit
more and you'd lock them all out ah damn this is a tough lock
let me give it a shot i also have a pretty um titanic thievery check so i yeah rocket sure
all right 16 now unless that counts as perhaps assisting to give a plus five to volley
that no that is not how that works yeah all right all right case
and the rat can't get underneath the floorboards like yeah at this point like you you've tried like
you can see the rat is trying to like sneak under this door but it is not are there any alternative
passages like say air vents or anything like that oh my god he's going to vent um
um you can give me a perception check sure
heaven or hell let's rock uh 26 yeah you can tell that the the room ahead is fairly well
sectioned off if anything it's a bit strange that there's some like
kind of curves on the walls here and here that might denote um like some kind of alternative access
points um or at least like maybe not false walls but like supporting walls but you're guessing like
access to this room based off what you're seeing from the structure it's this this room is fairly like
tightly contained and that's probably because it is currently you know dangling over the precipice
of the sinkhole so they probably built it pretty form factor pretty tight i see uh this right here
is this a wall uh yeah so so like it rises like the wall they come up it's not quite an overlook
balcony um there's like it's not a full wall either it probably comes up to just about your chest and
then you could look over and see the the bottom floor okay i'm gonna hail mary this and if there's
guys on the other side we're gonna have a fucking problem or wait we hold on speaker uh you want to
kick the door in no oh okay uh i'm going to do something a little more reckless and a little less
reckless oh uh well we might be able to if we want to slip back into the crowd we might be able to
jump this wall squeeze into a door before that group comes back and then just kind of blend in with
the rest of the guards sounds good sorry one second hammer alert yeah i got the same thing
yeah oh no speaker's being abducted no oh hello i'm the nostalgia critic i heard there's an amber
alert well okay oh yep all right so what was your plan there volley um my plan was because if i recall
the tyrant's guild guys were on this side correct uh yeah it was yeah they went through the through a
door down there through a door down there okay so if i could hop the wall out of their possible
line of sight uh and squeeze into one of because there was a door right here if i recall uh sorry
reaping i had to switch right here uh yes yes okay so there was a door right there we might be able to
hop that wall sneak into that room and if there are guards in there we can throw them off our trail yeah
and you can look over the the side even right now and you can tell that the three guards that
were on the main floor aren't there anymore they've gone and followed their companion to wherever they
were going all right so that's one option speaker what were you thinking oh um there's no stairs
further up from this level it seems correct you can tell from like looking outside that this is
very much the the top level here yeah so and these doors are locked to i was going to teleport on the
other side and if i didn't like what i saw i was going to teleport right back if i didn't then i was
just going to pretend like uh sound the alarm and be like that there are intruders in the tyrant's guild
you are advised all of you to take off your helmets that we might inspect you
and shit like that
just kind of do so like if there are guards on the other side of this they will not have heard of
anything sus yet and we will convince them that indeed the others may be the imposters
this is true do you guys you want me to try my hail mary teleport plan
let's see i mean if you teleport in there it's probably going to be a dead giveaway because i
don't think there are many maguses amongst the tyrants guild there are enough we've we fought guys
they uh they did all kinds of crazy if they have to be necromancers to control their steeds that is true
so there are there are spell casters okay yeah so if it's all the same i think we'll try
that yeah and if it's magically warded or something you can't get in that way then we'll
hop over the side and then we're about to find out um so i'm going to try teleporting on the other
side of the store okay so what are you using to do that a dimensional step or dimensional assault
okay okay okay um so typically uh with with dimensional assault you have to like
know you're basically jumping next to a creature that's part of it but in this case um
when you're trying to do it you can tell even before you would reach that phase of needing to
like have a creature to end up there is something actively stymieing teleportation it doesn't use
your dimensional assault here but there is something like in the walls here that appears to be stymieing
your teleportation attempts uh can i be able to detect magic and give me an arcana check sure
well we know that this is an important room this is probably where we'll bring
dubois whenever we do our big funny infiltration uh yeah um there is an incredibly powerful force
behind this door uh it's not so much that the walls here are magical but there is something
just like that is like suffusing the entry points here
whatever ritual they're performing it's happening behind these doors or at the very least
its energies are concurring beyond them then let's get uh let's get baldrick blow the door open and
bust in when we've got everyone come on over the edge here all right um so as you you all uh
jump over the edge we're gonna we're gonna carry on back to the basement
all right so so baldrick you have opened the door uh and begun conversing with the small child
conversing is uh generous yes you were about to make a skill test i believe i was not about to make
a skill test i was about to push past okay so i can see the two uh fellas here right yes and as as you
start to uh to see these two one thing you notice is that their attention appears to be taken away
and they like start walking in the opposite direction eventually you kind of hear their voices through their
masks uh and then the voice of another uh somewhere like across the corner here and you can hear the
we uh have a problem upstairs
i i need to see the i need to see the the the commander there's supposedly reinforcements here but
they very clearly don't don't know our procedures i left the other three upstairs with them
uh thurston how loud would you say an alchemist fire is uh i mean it's mostly like a glass shattering
that that'd be the that'd be the the primary then the explosion would probably come a bit above that
okay so it is reasonably loud you would say they'd be able to hear it above absolutely okay um uh baldrick
is going to hold a hand up like an open hand and then clench it shut trying to signal to
for who would turn off the light since we have light now for who will deactivate light
all right in that case i'm going to sneak in and get behind i'm presuming this is a pillar here
yeah so there's a pillar um like you can see there's two support pillars here uh both of them have like
torch torches on either side they appear to be magical torches just sort of extra jutting stones that have
been magically enchanted that give off pulsing light um yeah would you like to give me a stealth check
or would you like to assurance it i need to think because it's very bright in here so i might want to
just stealth check even though like the bed the best i'm gonna do is like 10 more or so but i've got
points to roll so i'll go for it if i fail it i'll probably try to assurance we'll see all good um
so i have a question actually yes um i have a feat for armored stealth yes so i look at my equipment
and i look at my breastplate it gives me a minus two check penalty i don't think it's factoring it in
um when you waste your armor you is reduced by one um yeah i've been suffering a minus two because of
the armor penalty okay so it should just be minus one okay can you adjust that for me since i can't
for some reason uh i can check i can just give myself a permanent just roll it for now and we
know the the number is fine that's fine i just wanted to make sure i'm gonna roll it we'll see what
happens okay eh five that's terrible i'm gonna roll that re-roll that okay with the hero point yeah hero
point oh here we go here's the here's the one oh no 14 better okay so 21 technically uh yeah so you're
you're able to sneak ahead you can tell these these guards are like very much in their conversation
okay slinking past yeah mark build rick down the tier of points and you've slunk into the room
uh i'm gonna keep the the little entryway kind of shut i'm just gonna like wave for rahua to like
get into position behind it without opening it further if he can all right
suck i'm just gonna continue overhearing can i perception that you don't even have to you can hear
them like there isn't much other sound here all right let's get you to the commander and like you
you can hear the shuffling of footsteps guard opens a door into a room
now it gets like a bit muffled once they're in this this room here uh at the center of the prison
area you can hear some like like low low conversations uh do you want to give me another
yeah you can give me a perception check for this what is this is this just a stretching rack yeah yeah
okay would i be able to crouch behind it uh absolutely if you want to give me another
cell check to like advance up i want to hold off on that for now i'll do a perception and if that
fails me i'll get closer oh sneaking snack so where is my perception there it is perception check go
oh yeah there's the one there oh no we finally get the wait okay okay you know what i get a complication
die would you like to re-roll it you'll still have a complication i will give me the complication though
okay uh yeah go ahead it will not let me re-roll for some reason oh because it took away
not two hero points off my character there we go all right again there we go that's a 20.
oh yeah yeah that'll that'll get you up ahead uh i'm gonna find one here um
okay okay okay okay okay okay
so you're as you're doing this this is going to be from red this this one is called the slip of the mind
um you accidentally say your thoughts out loud uh that being said i'm not gonna have it be like
haha this is how i trick you into like failure into failure uh because the 20 will still succeed
but like you say something that gets inserted into their conversation as you are stealthing up aloud
uh and it's some sort of thought you have like actively as you're as you're stealthing up further
what what baldrick mutters to himself is did those fuckers up there already blow their cover
what was that huh must have been the the other two like in the room are sort of looking around and
like baldrick i'm assuming you're like kind of like shifting up to their sort of thing behind this
like under i'm holding where i am because oh you are okay okay um yeah so so you're you're you're you're
you're sort of like now hearing this and it's it's kind of like well
they're intruders they don't have the key only i have the key
we should uh perhaps uh go and deal with the situation
uh sorry tannhauser fell down a bunch of stairs into a garbage
i warned you about stairs bro i warned you
beat you with a newspaper yeah i tripped so hard i broke through the floor
boards i land in the scene and then you hear this like sir sir sir as um and you're able to see it
from like like peering around the pillar three more members of the tyrant skilled come rushing
it so we have intruders upstairs there's they're really badly disguised um one of them yelled it
yelled at me really really badly they do not know our processes sir how many of these do we got four
we should go we'll go deal with this hey thurston yes sensing that things are about to go terribly
terribly wrong yes they're all clustered up right oh god like you wouldn't believe
i have four of these okay can i open by throwing from a sneak attack one of my alchemist fires and then
proceed to draw and throw the remaining four three alchemist fires uh you certainly you certainly can my friend
would you like to turn your put your token into combat here
yeah you got it dog oh no there is no active encounter i have to set my guys there we go uh
you should be good now how would you like to put yourself into this show oh i've been waiting to
oh no all right here comes the fun part this could all go horrendously wrong i have exactly
one hero point with which to save myself okay roll a perception for initiative though just so we get
an order of course of course um wait since i'm doing this from stealth can i do stealth instead yeah
absolutely oh yeah absolutely it'll be plus one because it's still reporting my armor oh yeah yeah
i'll just add a circumstance bonus yeah absolutely
what could possibly go wrong everybody what could possibly go wrong i got it wrong
uh let's see here
i'm going to be throwing in quick succession from one sneak attack one alchemist fire and then because
i have the rest already prepared and ready drawing and throwing three more however who would you like
to rule your uh your initiative there my friend oh yeah yeah absolutely yeah thanks cool of course
as i throw a bucket of dice 22 okay cool um yeah sure uh you know what what the hey um
yeah okay um all right uh you want to
to target uh target one of these boys and uh go go to go to town go to yeah we're gonna see how
badly this goes but this is my best shot at keeping the attention off them absolutely it is okay let's
do it all right here we go bomb la bomba i'll begin the encounter and then i'm gonna move straight to
you so technically you're just gonna start the encounter at the bottom of the initiative here we go
so herahua you need to save me because i will be out of actions by the time i've run out of bombs
i will do my very best i trust you i don't know why i didn't have my bomb drawn before but it
doesn't matter so this is going to be the first i take it this one is free correct uh yes i uh yeah
yeah i'll just give you this one for free for sure you're being very stealthy and tactical here
absolutely absolutely that's a 20 oh jesus that is a nat 20 again that we're up to five okay okay
i'm going to assume for maximum splash you're actually going to hit this guy because you'll
you'll hit more of them uh yeah okay so roll me uh sweet sweet dumb critical dimaggio
oh he is extremely dead with 32 damage uh yeah um so the hit points on these guys are a bit wrong i
just need to fix that one so i'm just gonna give them 30 extra hit points it's fine yeah i'm just uh
you know you know just uh just gonna you know do that because you know oh geez something to them okay one
sec okay um this is gonna be dangerous and bad it's because i moved them onto the other map and
the other map had them statted a bit differently okay uh so yeah you um
absolutely murder this poor person um just silently for a brief moment he like leans out and there's
like the sound of his boots scuffing on the floor and he rolls his arm up and lobs the alchemist fire
right in the air it lands on the four poor schmucks fucking head yeah uh so this will
like absolutely murder this one uh and then it's uh it's gonna be uh sit here
all right then you're gonna like apply extra damage to these ones so that's whoops not oh
don't forget uh i can do calculated splash yes so let's see that's two times that would be four
damage normally uh yeah for the splash nor yeah i'll yeah and what's your calculated dude calculated
splash let me just bring it up again sorry calculated splash as a feat uh when you throw an
chemical bomb with the splash trait you can cause the bomb to deal splash damage equal to your
intelligence modifier so okay so it does the same it does for it does for which is which is salt
like very solid splash damage these guys like look hard okay so that was your free action
so for the record he's he's still behind it but i'm still like aiming around you're basically using
cover here essentially yep uh i'm gonna target this man now the one in the back so those two are
still affected by splash absolutely okay let's keep going yeah i'm assuming still strike nine correct
um that was like at this point you're gonna have your multiple attack penalty so okay so i'll be
taking a map minus five yeah all right do it up do it up toss a grenade that's a that's a 20 again
but not a fit not a net 20 it's just that will that will that will hit hit it will not crit but
damage roll
eh could be better eight okay uh so that's actually gonna be 10 though because
uh it'll be 10 because of the um your your calculated uh splash so i don't think it's
it's factoring no it isn't so so we'll just have to keep that in mind uh okay and then these ones
will each take four so uh yeah they're looking real fucking beat up uh and your that was your second
your next action uh let me think about this because if i do this at a map 10 that'll be my second action
yeah because technically you got the the freebie bomb i gave you for surprise absolutely i'll you know
what uh i'll throw i'll throw one with a map 10 and if it and if it succeeds or fails i'll be throwing
a smoke bomb at my feet i could recommend something to you what you're right your last you you move
for one action you still stride your fool and i would probably recommend you to try to get behind
rahua because you will have uh three tyrants guys one of them probably a beefier guy coming after you
and rahua can't save you until it's your turn i will be putting myself in smoke forcing them to come
into melee yeah so you have to ask yourself do you want them in a chokehold position or what you're
currently i would like to keep them around me ideally he wants to bomb them more i want to
kill them i want to destroy them i will try my best to take out as many before rahua can get
into position and presumably crunch as well because crunch is at the top of the list it's true because
he rolled a fucking 20 like a weirdo he's it's crunch he's anyway i'm gonna roll that map 10 now
okay that's my last grenade that i'm throwing for now so that would be three bombs okay here we go
ah four do you have a hero point uh yeah i'll i'll do the hero point do it do it just just do it
do it it's shit it's a hit with an 18 that'll hit roll me damage do it uh seven seven nine technically
uh with four as the splash yep
okay these guys are looking like utterly terrible from your your cannonade of bombs and then you're
dropping one at your your smoke smoke stick at your feet right yes i will be throwing a smoke
stick at my feet let me reduce my inventory by three uh so you throw these bombs there's loud like
like like booming explosions that echo through the room uh like a cannonade of fire going up
and you hear from oh what's that we're under attack get them uh and then the the others like start
turning looking around one of them has been melted in front of them the others are all on fire also i
forgot the one that you've been throwing bombs on also has persistent fire on him um so so there's just
like like like a sense of madness now have you given and you haven't really like are you shouting
anything as a free action i should say yes jigsaw get him
that's a shout it at raho and crunch okay uh right right right
uh so can i get that smoke around me yeah i just haven't put a little token thing there i have to do
that okay if you all right so crotch comes up with like your bulwark friend clang puts the shields
down in front of him these four should be the smoke i think uh yeah yeah i got you uh okay
i was gonna do that before he moved over there but that's fine that's okay
there we go
it's a smoky area i don't know why that comes to the forefront though it's it's just smoke it's very
thick it's smoke it's very very thick smoke oh there we go okay it's because i'm on that layer all
right cool uh so that's crunch uh you hear some some like rustling of of like equipment
member of the tyrant's guild emerges though you don't get a good look because of the smoke um but
then they'll come up this way with their second action and baldrick uh at this point you can see
that this is a um a different type of uh tyrant's guild member though you're familiar with what they
are you've not yet seen one uh this one is like clutching onto what appears to be like a
a long pole with almost like a tri-point claw at the end of it and his other hand crackles with
magical energy uh you recognize this as an excoriatorge this is one of the like combat spellcasters
the maguses per se uh of the tyrant's guild oh no it's evil tan hauser
also known as tan hauser no i'm being nice comes out like waves this stick towards you
get them get them um at this point yeah some of like
one of them rushes out uh draws their weapon and ends there
uh one of them this this one here wounded draws their weapon
um tries to enter and make an attack on crunch we'll see how this goes
and i will roll concealment after this uh fails terribly it's cronch like tink
um admittedly he's probably got a little bit of shell shock right now
uh yes it's running into like a war zone uh you're up so who is going to seem better begin
barrel in be be mindful there is there is a column here don't try to move there you'll hurt your face
of course i will do a little bonk bonk
uh room oh i'm measuring i'm not moving that's why
you're
yes i'm surprised all three of those it i'm gonna fuck hey whatever sometimes you live the dream my man
the fucking tight fucking turned into rollento for a minute yeah good uh i'm gonna cast an arty barrage
okay on which one okay it's funny man here is funny man here sure absolutely you kind of like
peek around the smoke and unleash your chaotic spell he just comes barreling in eye flares with light
and a beam of energy is only the roiling chaotic tides make an attack roll please there we go
oh you're gonna miss though are you happy with that no i can hear it yeah yeah you wanna you
want to hear point that yeah do it up hero quest hero bro oh wow okay um so you like i don't know
manifest some silverware into existence that just like impotently flies out and lands at his feet
that wasn't supposed to happen
uh okay comes over to our buddy over here draws his weapon
uh you idiots are too far away i engaged combat at range and then stopped you from being able to
range and then this one's going to try to attack you baldrick uh let's see here he's attacking into
smoke he is i'm going to roll the attack for i fail terribly critical miss critical miss um all right uh
uh what happens because this one comes out looks i'm going to get reinforcements
bring him i'll kill them too running uh i'm gonna go with him also i'm on fire um
will he make it away i don't think he will he's gonna take a lot of damage from that burn
uh he is uh he's gonna like i don't know because unlike the acid which is a lot of persistent this
does all right let's see if it happens does he die to it or does he no he just dies to it um
okay so he will take his two points he rushes and then falls down a charred corpse next to his friend
um because the fire is still going baldrick you're up hi i i began the combat and now i will end this round
uh thinking
this is a finesse weapon i'm not a high dex person am i what's better than my strength
oh but i don't get anything because i'm wearing a breastplate fuck uh
what is the damage of the dagger i need to check this dagger it's probably d4 compared to the club which
is um doesn't matter uh okay so here's my idea
uh because uh i'm going to use shadow run rules which is geek the mage
uh let's see one two three remember there's a column in front of you i know i'm going there
okay yeah and then there yeah and then there okay
since i'm assuming that we're who and crunch will be able to maintain those two guys i can weather a
bit of attack so i'm just going to go i'm gonna swoop out of the smoke here's a good news for you
they don't have attack of opportunity i kind of figured i kind of figured they didn't because
these would be roughly the same as the others
one two three and that was reducing it by how much because the breastplate fuck got already
all right so you you rush like out of the the smoke and then like come between the two
of the tyrants guild members who look at you in shock as you like rush around and 15 there we go
hi baldrick weathers i'll be killing you please move out of my way what are you doing
simple i'd toss a i toss one of the alchemist fires that i've made beforehand in my hand and
then throw it at the mage okay getting you guys out of the way
okay here we go
yeah that's that'll hit that's 25. yeah give me a little damage
that's pretty good that's a 14. yeah he takes that and is also on fire
oh he's got quite a bit of health for a mage i mean he's also you know a bit higher level you know
i will make sure he dies regardless that was that was a move drawn throw you know what
i'm gonna stab this man oh yeah oh no i can't i don't have my dagger drawn oh yeah you could
throw another bomb if you wanted to i don't have any other bombs that was my last one shoot fair enough
uh i will club him i'm gonna bap bap bap bap him with the club minus five
uh now that'll miss the 15. i don't have anything to be rolling i'm not gonna bother
all right so you go you come out you you start going uh all right so crunch crunch goes
privately rolled dice uh you hear the sounds of like bone crunching and like the sounds of a body
being like absolutely destroyed uh as the uh the one abaser that was in there falls down
quite dead uh and you see like this shattered helmet chunks fall out from just the edge of the smoke
cloud uh baldrick uh i got one good get the others if you don't mind these are strength vigor build
yeah uh there's a move
uh rahua you hear like the clanging of uh of of like onto the stone for a moment and he just misses
the abaser
all right um the excoriaturge commander goes and seeing you baldrick
baldrick thumps his breastplate come on standing right here and you want to kill baldrick weathers
oh you are baldrick weathers i shall destroy you it turns into a mass effect i will destroy you
for you um
okay uh he is going to cast a spell he is going to cast acid arrow oops i'm still on private memory
and he casts acid arrow at you baldrick uh i don't believe in magic owned
no but even acid patow uh we'll hit you um and we'll do numbers numbers
uh 11 points of acid damage to you and then you also now have persistent acid damage as this arrow
smacks into you um causing your like your cloak to sizzle around the alchemicals though of course it
doesn't actually hit your alchemical uh equipment because that would be silly um
and then he attempts to
uh let's see here attempts to demoralize you with his last action
now what's your will dc 10 plus your will save modifier 10 plus my will save modifier hang on
uh that would be 17. okay so you are going to be uh slightly shaken by him so you will be uh
yeah
there enough he is he is going to uh to make you just a little bit uh frightened i should say
as he as he like shuts i will destroy you now with my powerful magic okay there we go
uh cool uh that's his go uh then he takes uh he takes his fire damage which uh continues to burn at him
uh then the one beside you goes baldrick uh having drawn his weapon he attempts to attack you
with a long sword
he gets 11. he fails he fails terribly uh he attempts to attack you a second time
uh missing and then we'll use his action to kind of fall back beside beside his his boss uh dead dead
rahua uh uh who is going to try and cube his loss for that last fuck up and
just just gonna beat this guy to death absolutely just like okay magic's not my thing
magic's not my thing for right now let's just manually override this okay goodbye
hello
stupid i am overriding reality i got a three that's not what's supposed to happen
would you like to use a hero point uh no i would like to save because i've only got one left and i
feel like what's ahead is probably something i should save my hero point for
let's do it when you i want to say thurston by the way when you find an appropriate time to like
pause in this combat please by all means go back up to them oh oh yeah i wanted to give you
give like a couple seconds so you can at least have some ketchup we've made great headway so far oh
yeah there you go that will critically hit with a pick or no that you're using the mace so
it'll also critically hit please roll dimaggio
10 10 okay
uh he is quite looking beat up uh would you like to do your second action
hit him again hulky i would love to yeah map 10. no minus five he oh i don't know because he
was quite his forks oh that's right it's agile boop boop oh there you go that'll hit give me dimash
this will probably just kill him though yes for damage he is quite dead smashes his head in
yeah he like falls up against the the bars slides down slight like watery sound
one down
actually more like four but i do agree with you i only killed one
i only killed two
what's the last action last action i am going to move past the corpse and we're gonna
uh
my friend if i could am i allowed come on you can do it i believe in you
okay cool all right so you move up there uh dead corpse uh this guy continues like
retreating uh and is out of this area baldrick my friend my companion what are you up to
uh let me think so i've got i think still about
i have
four four infused reagents left right
i believe so yes because i used three to make six smoke sticks and then no i would have i would
have uh five okay they didn't use it on anything else okay so in that case i'm going to quick
alchemy and prepare another alchemist fire moderate yep let me just toggle free
crafting so i don't actually blow gold on a free thing
craft one
all trick receives one and i will draw and draw draw draw and throw at this guy
which is a one action that's two actions i have one yeah you gave me one let me fucker
okay whatever it's it was giving me like double items it's fine throw throw at that man the one
in front of you yeah i've got him targeted yeah 13. do i have no you do not have a hero point but
you will do splash damage to both of them so mm-hmm okay and poof poof that's still it's still four
it's it's pretty reasonable for on a miss yeah uh that was your first action what's your next action
uh no that was my second action because that's right that person was crap yeah quick alchemy i'm
going to move if it will let me hi can i go can i move there we go one two three i'm gonna be in here
yeah uh so you you kind of like turn the corner in the prison and come into this what is very clearly
an opulent bed chamber uh that is completely out of place here uh there are some notes on a table
there's a like fine like fine glass there's a sofa chair like a lovely bed a large like bookshelf
slash dresser someone lives here that looks very opulent and out of place with the horrific horrific
scene of like blood-stained torture implements you saw in the previous room uh he's gonna this is just
like a free thing he's gonna like lean out the the door frame and like shout at the at the mage
real nice room martinet buy it for you
that is the martinet's chambers don't don't you dare
ah this is hers then of reaction to spit good um all right so we cut back upstairs
uh we cut to to oran and tanhazer and folly uh at this point i know you said you wanted to to
jump were you actually going to jump or just walk down because those those fellows have just sort of
walked away all those fellows are just gone they just yeah they just they just left they
wanted still gonna jump because she's extra she's gonna land and be like all right steve where the
fuck did they go it seems i want to point out i want to point out that on the the rock grind tv
tropes page um under combat parkour is listed volley uses them as part of her panache features
though it's also parody as she tends to do backflips just to keep the bonuses up
at badgering in opportune moments exactly yeah i'm gonna jump over like haha all right we're gonna
sneak out and they're gone it seems damn it nobody saw me i saw you and i was very impressed thank you
tan oran claps oh his little rat hands oh he i i assume it's been a while oh he's oran now she's
like yeah all right well should do we hear like going down like as you you get down there like yeah
there's there is like a pause like at this point like or and i think yeah you've you've you'll have
exited pest form right because how long does that last for okay so like oran turns back uh tanhauser
do you jump down or do you walk tanhauser tanhauser will walk i'm i am so sorry i completely i was
listening to you and then you said the word tanhauser and it's like that's the moment when i
fucking spaced out yes excellent all right so so as as that happens uh and you do like as volleys like
huh i wonder and then you just get boom boom boom of explosions though muffled uh underneath you
that sounds like our friends uh i'm going to give a quick look around does it seem like any
other tyrant skilled people are like coming out to respond no no intriguing so either they're all
downstairs or they don't hear us it seems that our friends in the sewer have caused enough destruction
to give us cover do we go and greet with them or shall we handle the doors upstairs
hmm they got crunch with them and it's let's see baldrick who uh and him they probably have it
handled did they hear the explosions at any point oh that's they just did they just okay that was
that one sounds like aldrich's having a good time yeah explosion i'm gonna look down a little rat orin
orin orange change back oh no no it's funnier i'm still a rat oh my gosh
make up your mind okay right now i grab rat orin hold it looks like one of the rules
i don't know i grab grab orin orin go downstairs and meet with the others give them support if they're
in a hairy situation we shall remain up here and take advantage of the silence you're going to find
the guard captain and then we are going to try to break through the upstairs doors
you hear a squeaking and the brow give a little salute like squeak and then you're awesome okay
i throw him whoa orin be upon ye okay so this one does last 10 minutes i was this why i was
checking okay i'll i'll i'll be normal orin on my way there just for fun oh okay so where are you
going it will it will last out because we took a while where are you going my rage i'm heading down
the bulging in them i suppose which is not through this doorway i was there was a reason i was asking
where you were going i assume you're asking me to go through the toilets aren't you what no i mean
literally you saw all the tyrants guild guys run this way is that a thirst is that it huh you want
him to be a dirty little toilet man you know what you know what just for that this is that just for
that zoran you stay right there yeah sorry no one saw it sick us remember that fuck you
um so as you as you rush uh over to this area by the way as you're you're heading this way
volley and tanhauser what are you two doing all right i figure first things first we should see if
they have any documents left over in their like the area where their commander is quote unquote
uh because if they all left to go deal with that disturbance it's most likely that is poorly or
not at all defended this is true uh and then let's see these doors uh lead to the uh ballroom i'm
assuming yep yeah because we've seen the map before and we haven't seen where this door goes correct
correct uh we also haven't seen where this door goes correct all right um well we should probably
just try them and kind of see if we've got more dudes coming essentially i'm gonna start opening this
door uh yeah absolutely okay stairways leading down and as yeah and like as you you open it you start
hearing footsteps coming up as you walk away tanhazer i'm going to walk up to it what seems to be the
problem he turns around looks at you you're you're you're the bomber aren't you aren't you how could he
possibly tell huh uh well because he he was part of the group that was very much of the like you're
obviously not here and now has been freaked out and run away from being bombed to near death so he's
just assuming this is some attack on the on the the installation right
okay it might be time for a stealth kill oh he's very he's very on edge having just been
bombed as as a suggestion before just straight up attacking him you could say to him
no lead us to him we'll take him out with you the war chief that is true yeah we might get roped
into this all right i say we we take advantage of this and i'll yeah fair enough and i'll say
you're delirious we're reinforcements bring us to the bomber and we'll give him the justice of the guild
um that seems that seems like fair fairly uh reasonable delivery um what do you got here
that'd be good you can give me a society check for that sure yeah yeah 27 yeah yeah yeah of course yeah
come on and he like leads the way back down all right well it looks like they need us
uh is rat oran following oran okay let's try to go down sit down i'm just following him okay okay
okay um duty calls i found like a nail and a you know a little piece of what is a shield ready to fight
the the cutest little boy oh i look desperate desperate
okay okay all right um welcome back to the basement um if i could get our new contenders to roll
initiative please yay a clown will not bite me and throw me in the basement thank god my creative initiative
uh i cannot roll initiative do i have a token in the scene yet or in status effects wounded uh it is not
showing up for me uh weird uh try refreshing you should have it all right i don't see bolly with a
number either that's weird i definitely have her yeah uh here i'll roll it i just yeah okay there we go
oh okay okay i got you and the one i okay it's better right okay take that one then yeah that's right
okay uh all right uh let me refresh you hear crunch like muddling about in this i just need to get my
my bearings and get out of here okay and he like comes up over here uh coming out of the fog in
baldrick you just see the side of this and his hammer like comes up in this wide arc from behind
his tower shield um yeah and this this this poor man is just completely like leveled into the ground
by the hammer oh very good very good um then the excoriator goes and seeing the like reinforcements uh
begins to move away over to here and
cast a spell on himself you could see like tendrils of magic whipping around his arm as it seems to like
reinforce his body um all right and then he takes some fire damage and then tanhauser uh you have now
come downstairs you're kind of like catching up on the situation here the the baser is like turd and
like ah the the that way through there all right i'm gonna walk up
oh yeah that's right i can't double move and get there uh most likely um that's unfortunate uh
the baser's in a weak spot i'm just moving forward to get a look at the situation uh i'm willing to
imagine that they actually given that there's only one other active combatant uh i'm just gonna
fucking clobber this guy he's like all right go get them and then you just sort of just start like
beating the shit out of this guy aye aye sir uh you know let's get a spell attack going yeah sure
uh uh 19. all right then uh we'll roll the damage on the weapon oh 2d6 that was unexpected
indeed uh all right so that is six damage base six damage based and i'm also gonna hit with a
let's use a spell slot let's use a shocking grasp sure roll that demagio for it yeah oh all right so
that is 26 damage in total okay he is like almost near death um as the electricity courses through him
and he kind of like comes down to his knees like letting out a shower
and that's the turn cool all right uh uh rahua my friend my companion what are you up to uh
rahua is to make me be for scoria
on to the corpse yeah it's just just fucking punts the corpse and right up behind him and i'm
gonna attack yeah so you come up behind the the the excoriator who turns just like no oh yes yes
oh that will definitely hit give me sweet damage here you go oh poopy damage
okay it takes three points that's it all right um what's that baldrick my friend
my my companion what are you up to well i'll put it simply thirst stone yes
i am going to move up yeah one i'm gonna conjure another alchemist fire absolutely i'm gonna throw
it at him do it up why does it keep undoing my fucking alchemist fire this is very bewildering
it's because it's an expendable thing it's not a permanent thing so you have to keep
drawing in what's going to be well no like the problem is it's making multiple
versions of it in my inventory that i have to remove yeah i've got like four you could take
a peek after it doesn't matter i'm throwing it yeah the day and four that will not uh but it will
still do four to him good enough yeah as they like he's basically backing off and you can tell he's
retreating so like as you throw the bomb it just hits his feet the flames lick at his
cloak a bit uh he turns back like you don't get emotion from him but it's very clear that he is uh
trying to get out of dodge so to speak um oh and then uh you will also take six points of acid
damage and then you can click on the recovery check okay
nope not yet uh no not yet okay um and he is rushing away uh this one like turns to you uh
tenhauser draws his weapon with one action and then goes to attack you
brave foolish he will hit you um not so foolish after all perhaps yeah you know just brave
hits you for seven points uh and then moves
like rushing into the room all right and now he takes the persistent damage
uh from the shocking grasp yes let me grab that
there we go uh yeah and then he will take it once his torn is hover it should roll it
ta-da okay so he is still that and he will take three electric damage as the the oink or just the
arcs over his armor as he continues running uh or and the rat what are you doing i mean as soon as
out at this point and oren basically goes like i got it and then hops the top of the table and produce
flames at the guy uh okay tannhauser basically kind of fooshed at so produce flame
a ball of flame kind of flies out and misses horribly which or it's going to use a hero point
in which to re-roll that and that is going to be a 19 that hits
that will hit grow me damage i want to bring down the hero point down on our little thing here and
then boom fire damage swats over him for our total amount of 10 points of damage and that brings him
quite into death that is the end of oran's turn vali you are up oh shoot um well it looks like that
guy's been toasted and roasted so i'm gonna uh all right i don't have panache why is that box checked
unless i do have panache you you did you did a funny jump remember you did a funny jump earlier
i did a funny jump but sure i'll take it you take it take it all right i'm taking it uh all right
that's 10 feet seeing what's going on here uh well i will have to do action moves yeah i will have to
do two moves but just barely oh no oh i'm gonna flank this mage run up to him and say like reinforcements
are here and then i'm gonna stab him what and he like turns uh he's quite flat-footed all right
all right all right i'm going to uh slam finish our him yes no no i'm gonna hit a point hit a point
oh my gosh okay all right this is going to be like beef stroganoff i'm sure all right let's see let's
yeah i actually haven't seen a crit with the plus one so yeah just let's dice dice everywhere yeah 33
damage 33 damage
he's alive he's alive he lives
who was supposed to help me you are the chosen one he's gonna die from persistent fire anyway
he's gonna go all right all right fine i see how this is crotch lake comes up to the wall takes
like a breathing rest that's sort of killing um and then this fellow here goes and
targets you volley casts a spell oh no that's the spell he's casting vampiric touch
yes um so um if you want to give me let's see if it's if i click this it should work and make you
take the save uh actually do i have to like drag it on you i forget do i have to click the button
you might yeah you click click the save oh i click okay yeah you click the save button i'm clicking the
button click the button no no that's a lot here that's a lot of damage he's gonna do to you are you okay
with that fine i will spend more hero points uh oh it's not letting me i'm about to say you might want
to do that because that does 66 negative damage yes yeah i'm gonna re-roll that uh it's not letting
me re-roll it on this little message here so i'm just gonna you need to give yourself you need to
give yourself the hero points on your character points on the top oh the interface doesn't interact
with that oh yeah if you ever messes with it just redo the yeah oh no it's not giving me the option
to re-roll the saving throw that's what it does yeah because you need to have hero points on your
character sheet so oh yeah i put it on there and it's still not uh still not happening uh then
just just do a save again just yeah so it's a fortitude
i think you can click the button again yeah that's worse that's worse for the net one
you were the chosen one gonna all right goodbye everyone
golly is about to be drinked with a silly damage here one sec one sec um
that's cool i'm gonna double that he's giving you the graveyard suck so he takes 38 points um
that doesn't kill me no it doesn't it doesn't um i gain temporary hit points equal to half the negative
damage you take you're great you get 19 more hit points fuck you i do get 19 more hit points that's
cool i get them me uh and then let's look at the complication shirt um
gosh what do we have here do we have a save anywhere oh that one doesn't work here uh
uh she's no good very bad day voli gets into combat in one instance skewers him for a lot of
damage like a ton of damage he's just like you give me he turns into that image of like the hand
reaching forward but it's like give me your health okay we're gonna use this one from uh mechanicus and
now give me your um no i like this one uh this one is called death looms oh so good uh the pc
vividly recalls the end they are one of their friends previously met causing them to become stunned
until they successfully uh make a wisdom save to shake off the effect so you will oh no that's not
funny the stunned uh condition which that's not a funny pants ripped i'm traumatized yeah exactly
that just that just reduces your number of actions you'll be able to take next round by one
uh and would you like to describe what like horrific scene voli is is is like feeling i mean as your life
force is literally being sucked out of your body by the like the hand of this tyrant's guild member
yeah yeah voli like uh i guess in that moment she's just like as he's grabbing onto her she just
like feels the sees the chain glaive instead of a hand and she's just like what the fuck yes um
yeah and he uh like has has a big wide smile on his off face uh then he uh takes some fire damage
that's cool uh actually you know what he did have another action so i'll do the damage on him
first but then i am going to have him also attack you voli because he is such a nice person and then
he's going to cast vampiric grasp again no he can't do it twice but i can hit you voli um and the funny
part is is vampiric touch is not an attack spell because he doesn't roll an attack attack so
he's just trying to hit you hits you with a rig
oh uh that will hit it won't crit you but it won't crit so uh no nimble dodge here no nimble dodge
uh and then i will let it out uh for 10 more points which i oh still keeps you up i'm up baby
ow there we go good good that's that's his go uh tannhauser you you catch voli do this amazing
blow and then like just because around the the corner of the pillar you probably see your stagger
back um like you don't quite see the attacker super well from where you are but you see i got
line of sight i can see him well you there there's technically a pillar in the way like i'm saying like
you can't get a good bead on him from behind like you can see him yes i'm just describing the scene
oh okay okay in that case now can i see him oh yeah like like again he's gonna have cover
because there's a pillar and a person yeah uh let's see
hmm
uh i don't got that much that let me get to him
um which is unfortunate uh
i guess what i could do is well he just got back 19 so he needs big hits right now i can't get quite
in position to do any big hits um so i could spend my turn repositioning but he probably has more vampiric
touch backed up which means that we actually need to dump on him right now um
i guess i'm just gonna have to be spicy and
oh man it's it's a rough one because we're scared he might drink again i will the thing is
is that there's no way because of this pillar which i i thought was just a table
um there's actually no way for me to draw a line of sight to him uh without him getting cover which
worries me but uh regardless i'm not gonna worry about it this whole time and i'm just gonna hail
mary and i'm going to cast hydraulic push
uh 14 i will use my hero point to me
all right much better yeah absolutely that'll hit awesome go go gadget water hose
uh i will do 11 damage to him push him back to there yeah because he's like pushed back by all
of this water he tries to like stand ground but gets pushed back between the between the cell and
rahua and that's my turn okay uh that brings us to rahua who is gonna do it big and make it nasty
oh that's a zedic thing that that's just a hokey grower thing
listen i'm just gonna hit let's go let's just break his bones off break his bones now
at 21 to hit we'll hit him roll me damage damage minimum damage again it's okay okay
uh are you going to attack or cast a spell that's a great question you know what i'm gonna
oh man i i kind of want to keep this secret are you i have a great spell that i can cast but i
want to keep it mysterious would you mind if i uh there any way to like keep that private
um is it the one at the bottom of your spell list it is okay one sec
uh blah blah blah blah blah uh ooh that's pretty cool uh sure sure um
i'll let you do that uh do you want to roll me uh the 3d8 i would love to
hulk he's being mysterious stealth i'm so confused hulk okay okay okay then with him
this
uh is that enough i don't know if that's enough
one sec
i don't uh yeah i don't think this is gonna be
uh no that's enough to succeed but honestly it's still enough to murder so
that's cool um describe how this uh this this this this person falls to the ground quite dead
bulky so rahua will take a power stance at this abacer who is just death sucked volley
and raise his chest out crooning down at this poor poor soul that doesn't know it yet extend his hand
and open palm raise it up close his fist and bring him down yeah and like you can you all hear audible
snapping as this is occurring and he like falls down like his arms seizing up as he looks at them
dropping the strange stick weapon he has uh which he just previously used to like rake across
vali's body his hands start twitching convulsing and then he falls down you hear even more like
crack crack crack uh and then um then the fire like begins to consume him and as he falls down
off of his neck falls shortly a short distance away from his body is uh and on a necklace that is
shattered off is a small metal key um and volley as you kind of see it uh in your like stunned momentary
haze you can see it looks exactly like the strange keyhole to the second level chambers you had not
previously entered and that my friends that's where we're going to call it for tonight
