WEBVTT 00:00:02.690 --> 00:00:05.190 People! Just want to say real quick, the obvious, 00:00:05.269 --> 00:00:07.669 thank you so much for being here right now, listening 00:00:07.669 --> 00:00:10.910 to this show. You're the best. You individually, 00:00:11.150 --> 00:00:13.310 right there, the one on top of two, me and you. 00:00:13.990 --> 00:00:50.289 You're the best. Enjoy. Storyteller Rune is not 00:00:50.289 --> 00:00:55.189 here because school is in session. What does 00:00:55.189 --> 00:00:58.969 that mean? Hang on. It's not loading. I don't 00:00:58.969 --> 00:01:01.350 know. It's not loading. We also did make a school 00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:02.969 is in session joke with the episode description 00:01:02.969 --> 00:01:05.409 like two episodes ago. We're in a school. We 00:01:05.409 --> 00:01:07.069 are in a school, but we've already used the school 00:01:07.069 --> 00:01:09.049 is in session joke. Hey, you can't make that 00:01:09.049 --> 00:01:11.349 same joke again. Yeah. Well, school is in session 00:01:11.349 --> 00:01:13.609 a different way now. I was trying to load a bell 00:01:13.609 --> 00:01:16.379 sound. It wouldn't happen. The fader's down. 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.280 That's the school bell. There it is. Where are 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.980 you? That was a school bell? I had the fader 00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:24.939 turned down. You didn't tell me that I needed 00:01:24.939 --> 00:01:27.859 it up the instant we started the show. Oh. It 00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:31.340 was down. It just was muted. Damn it. Put the 00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:32.900 thing back up. Let's do a school bell. You just 00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:37.480 heard it. Ready? School is in session. Yeah! 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:43.079 Welcome to Fancy Pants School Edition. I don't 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:44.819 know. Because while we're running around the 00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:46.980 school, I've got a little challenge for you both 00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:49.980 and for me as well. I want you to teach us something. 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.719 And I want to teach you guys a little something. 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.500 I want to talk about some factoids here. Because 00:01:56.500 --> 00:01:59.680 I found this fact, right, that I kind of came 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.319 across. It was more something I was looking into, 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.200 had a little shower thought, and got deep -dived 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.140 in. And I was like, my mind was blown. All right? 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.879 And I've been kind of living with this monkey 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.400 on my back of this wild, crazy, scientific fact, 00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:15.419 and I want to share it with you and ruin your 00:02:15.419 --> 00:02:18.900 lives too. Okay. Because it's awesome. And to 00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:21.379 make it more interesting, how about we get a 00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:24.699 button? A button for whoever drops the sickest 00:02:24.699 --> 00:02:28.080 bit of knowledge will use audience applause as 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.569 a distinguisher. What? Yeah. I didn't know that 00:02:31.569 --> 00:02:33.710 was the criteria. Check it out. Mine's kind of 00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:35.509 cute. I don't think it's... Audience applause. 00:02:35.650 --> 00:02:39.689 I'll load it up. I don't have like a global scale 00:02:39.689 --> 00:02:44.340 or a universal scale. I can't wait. To use that 00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:45.680 button against you that I'm going to earn for 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.719 myself. Jeremy's like Googling fun facts. I started 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.259 thinking of things earlier today and then stuff 00:02:54.259 --> 00:02:56.340 with work happened and I completely fucking forgot. 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.560 But no, there's one specific fun fact that I'm 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.219 Googling right now just to double check exactly 00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:03.340 how it's stated because it's really kind of weird. 00:03:03.419 --> 00:03:07.620 I love weird, crazy science. We get a lot of 00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:10.000 the weird, magical science of this world here, 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.539 but let's talk about the crazy fucking lore of 00:03:12.539 --> 00:03:16.270 Earth. All right? Okay. Of our world. Get some 00:03:16.270 --> 00:03:18.490 crazy lore. Mine's not super scientific. Do you 00:03:18.490 --> 00:03:20.870 want to save? No, do yours because it's going 00:03:20.870 --> 00:03:23.409 to suck. It's boring. No, I think it's kind of 00:03:23.409 --> 00:03:25.150 fun. Hang on. Give me a second. Okay. I remember 00:03:25.150 --> 00:03:27.349 what mine was. There it is. That's the weakest 00:03:27.349 --> 00:03:29.930 applause. We'll do yours first. Dude, wait. Hold 00:03:29.930 --> 00:03:33.770 on. Hold on. Oh, you got one too? He's got something 00:03:33.770 --> 00:03:35.490 for this. He's got something for this. Yeah. 00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:38.129 Damn. Yeah. I thought I controlled the applause. 00:03:38.289 --> 00:03:42.239 Hold on. Hold on. Wait for it. Wait for it. Whoa, 00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:45.580 damn. Dude, my fact's going to be sick now. Oh, 00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:48.580 shit. All right. You're the hype man. Yeah. All 00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:57.560 right. Cool, cool. So get this. That ruled. Next. 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.240 Continue. If you spell out numbers, like O -N 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.400 -E is how you spell one, T -W -O is how you spell 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.460 two, you don't encounter the letter A until 1 00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:15.009 ,000. Ooh. What? Ooh. Okay. Right? That kicks 00:04:15.009 --> 00:04:17.230 ass. That's pretty cool, right? Yeah, we get 00:04:17.230 --> 00:04:19.810 some applause. Hey, I've learned something today. 00:04:20.110 --> 00:04:23.370 It's really funny because my fun fact is kind 00:04:23.370 --> 00:04:25.490 of related, and I think it's kind of in the same 00:04:25.490 --> 00:04:29.069 arena. Okay. At least. Let's duke these fun facts 00:04:29.069 --> 00:04:33.329 out. If you count from zero, your lips do not 00:04:33.329 --> 00:04:37.449 touch until you hit one million. What? Give me 00:04:37.449 --> 00:04:38.629 a second to count to one million real quick. 00:04:40.290 --> 00:04:44.149 Let's test this out. Give me a minute. Holy shit. 00:04:44.189 --> 00:04:46.250 Counting from zero, your lips do not touch until 00:04:46.250 --> 00:04:48.970 you hit one million. All right. That's crazy. 00:04:49.370 --> 00:04:52.009 We got some, I was going to say math. I don't 00:04:52.009 --> 00:04:54.170 know if that's count as math. I think it's math 00:04:54.170 --> 00:04:59.829 world. More linguistic quirks, right? Yeah! Get 00:04:59.829 --> 00:05:03.620 in there! For our international fans, it's maths. 00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:11.839 All right, then. Here's mine. Mine's going to 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.279 leave the world of math and go into the world 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.139 of science, okay? Because this one kind of messed 00:05:15.139 --> 00:05:19.040 me up a little bit. So, absolute zero is the 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.939 coldest possible... Right? Do you know what absolute 00:05:22.939 --> 00:05:25.379 zero actually is? Do you know what the, it's 00:05:25.379 --> 00:05:27.220 zero Kelvin. Yeah, we experienced it last weekend. 00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:29.540 Yeah. Do you know what the actual degree is though? 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.160 Give me Fahrenheit, Celsius, whatever. Do you 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.839 have a guess? Give me a guess. No. No. Give me 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.839 a guess like, you want me to actually guess? 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.579 Give me a guess, yeah. Like negative 8 ,000 degrees. 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.620 You're actually way off. It's way less, this 00:05:42.620 --> 00:05:44.500 is actually weird. It's less than you think is. 00:05:45.619 --> 00:05:49.899 Negative 459 .67 degrees Fahrenheit or 273 degrees 00:05:49.899 --> 00:05:53.300 Celsius. Negative 273. So it's only like less 00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:55.939 than 500 degrees Fahrenheit negative is absolute 00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:59.180 zero. And that is, again, the coldest you can 00:05:59.180 --> 00:06:01.839 possibly get because it is the baseline for our 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.160 universe. You don't get cold. You just get less 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.339 hot. The universe is just that cold naturally. 00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:11.399 So that's the floor. What do you think the ceiling 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.800 is? Jesus Christ. What is the hottest temperature 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.000 ever recorded on Earth? Another guess. Oh, on 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.160 Earth. Interesting. On Earth. Well, I mean, I 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.040 know that they've done scientific experiments 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.620 that clock temperatures hotter than the surface 00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:27.000 of the sun. Dude, give me a degree. Like man 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.519 -made or natural? Man -made. Just the possible. 00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:32.180 I'm talking like theoretical possibilities. Yeah, 00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:34.959 yeah, yeah. Jesus. In Fahrenheit? In Fahrenheit. 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.899 Probably like something billion. Okay, yeah, 00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:39.000 billion. What do you got? I'm going to flip it. 00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:42.019 I'm going to go 8 ,000 degrees. Oh. Scientists 00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:44.480 have recorded experience resolving in temperatures 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:50.519 of 9 .9 trillion degrees in CERN's Hadron Collider. 00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:54.100 That is 5 .5 trillion degrees Celsius for internationals. 00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:55.980 I don't understand how the world doesn't turn 00:06:55.980 --> 00:07:00.360 to ash. That's so unbelievably fucking hot. It's 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.220 not even close to Planck temperature. That's 00:07:02.220 --> 00:07:05.500 the theorized absolute hot. I am more curious 00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:09.600 about the science of how you create something 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.750 to hold that. Exactly, exactly. You'd think if 00:07:12.750 --> 00:07:15.290 a spark of that hot happened, the whole world 00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:18.149 would burn up in ash. It seems fundamentally 00:07:18.149 --> 00:07:22.350 dangerous and irresponsible to even try to make 00:07:22.350 --> 00:07:23.670 something that hot because if something goes 00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:25.649 wrong, I think the world is gone. We don't have 00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:29.290 it anymore. It's vaporized. That's so hot. And 00:07:29.290 --> 00:07:32.389 it's not even close. So I'm not going to make 00:07:32.389 --> 00:07:34.670 you guess this one, but the theorized absolute 00:07:34.670 --> 00:07:41.639 hot is... 1 .42 times 10 to the 32nd power Kelvin. 00:07:42.220 --> 00:07:44.379 Yeah, I mean, like, I didn't even comprehend 00:07:44.379 --> 00:07:47.120 the first number, you know what I mean? So it's 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.139 about 100 million, million, million, million, 00:07:50.139 --> 00:07:53.079 million degrees. Jesus. Yeah, that just doesn't 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:54.800 mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. But, 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.199 like, it's so ridiculous. Like, you wouldn't 00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.639 think there's that much of a space between the 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.480 coldest you can get and the hottest you can get. 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.139 But it, like, I don't know, I read that, and 00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:04.709 it was just like, that's... That doesn't even 00:08:04.709 --> 00:08:07.389 make sense, right? That's crazy, right? Dude, 00:08:07.430 --> 00:08:12.930 even the Earth's core is only 10 ,800 degrees 00:08:12.930 --> 00:08:17.009 Fahrenheit. Like, holy shit. I'll give myself 00:08:17.009 --> 00:08:20.509 applause. See, the thing is, it was like, it's 00:08:20.509 --> 00:08:26.430 too big. It's too big to impress me. What? I 00:08:26.430 --> 00:08:29.949 can't comprehend it. It's your small brain. Yeah. 00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:31.850 I get no button. You get a two small brain. No, 00:08:31.889 --> 00:08:34.009 you don't get a button. Well, I think that's, 00:08:34.009 --> 00:08:35.509 I think that's one of the cool things about the 00:08:35.509 --> 00:08:38.850 universe is we, our brains are so small that 00:08:38.850 --> 00:08:41.769 there, there's no conceivable way for us to actually 00:08:41.769 --> 00:08:45.519 fathom. My mind was more blown by the one million 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.940 thing than by the ten gajillion bazillion degrees. 00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:52.700 It is pretty wild. It is pretty wild. It's crazy. 00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:55.440 All those things are crazy. Yeah. Well, congratulations 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.299 to you all for teaching and congratulations to 00:08:57.299 --> 00:09:00.000 all you listeners for learning. They didn't have 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.980 a choice. They didn't have a choice. They're 00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:03.259 like, can you get to the dungeon crawl? That 00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:05.259 also had no value. Get back to school. Sorry, 00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:08.299 you can't. Here's your certificate of useless 00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:12.779 knowledge. Speaking of useless knowledge. Well, 00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:14.840 who gets a button? Huh? I don't know. Who gets 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:16.279 a button? Nobody. We all kind of fail. You write 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.679 it. We all get a button. What? You write it, 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.440 listeners. Tell us who gets a button and tell 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.179 them why it's me. I take back my we all get a 00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:23.659 button. David doesn't get a button. Well, right. 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:24.940 See, that's the thing. When we put it in the 00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:26.960 hands of the pants people, more often than I'm 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.759 comfortable with does it come back with David 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.879 gets a button. Dude, okay. It's out there. It's 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.299 out there. Pants people. Hey, hey. Shut up. This 00:09:33.299 --> 00:09:36.759 is for me. Pants people. You know who I am. You 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.509 know I've been there for you. Like the biggest 00:09:40.509 --> 00:09:47.669 dick on the podcast. In my class, there's never 00:09:47.669 --> 00:09:50.870 any homework, fans people. And I always listen. 00:09:51.809 --> 00:09:58.730 So give me a button. Roll deception. You guys 00:09:58.730 --> 00:10:00.809 want to get back in the school of school school? 00:10:01.389 --> 00:10:04.590 Yeah, let's do it. Recess is over. There you 00:10:04.590 --> 00:10:07.269 go. There you go. Wait, hang on. Give him a button. 00:10:07.330 --> 00:10:12.460 Hang on. Reset is over. I'm sorry. That sounds 00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:13.980 more like a church bell than a school bell to 00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:19.080 me. Yeah, it does. Let's do this thing. You step 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.460 out of the alchemy lab in Anissa Academy, walking 00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:25.840 about into this sort of wide, 30 -foot wide hallway 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.039 that you have seen everything there is to see 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.139 west of this point. But there's still so much 00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:35.429 to see to the east. There's a... door on the 00:10:35.429 --> 00:10:38.250 other side the last door in this hall um and 00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:40.389 then one more to the north and there's a hallway 00:10:40.389 --> 00:10:42.649 that snakes farther north than that leading into 00:10:42.649 --> 00:10:46.870 more long hallways more doors more undiscovered 00:10:46.870 --> 00:10:52.470 locations and you know there are students out 00:10:52.470 --> 00:10:56.389 there you know one has escaped you know one has 00:10:56.389 --> 00:11:00.269 their mental form at least has died but do you 00:11:00.269 --> 00:11:03.279 really understand what's happening here Do you 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.779 understand the mechanics of this? As you carry 00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:09.720 this oil of sharpness, a final gift from someone 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.659 who may have died? What's going through your 00:11:12.659 --> 00:11:17.700 mind? Blanche wants to find more information 00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:23.039 about what these are, how they work. Because 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:27.580 you're right. We don't know. We don't know Diddley 00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:31.679 Squat. She... Wants to know if she can save any 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:36.059 of these students. She knows that the suit can 00:11:36.059 --> 00:11:38.919 bind the soul. But she doesn't know if there's 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.779 a way to break the binding. She doesn't know 00:11:41.779 --> 00:11:46.960 if these students have bodies somewhere. If they 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.919 can be reunited. And there you find the grand 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.399 irony in all this, don't you? Because the place 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.840 where you imagine answers would most likely lie. 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.580 Isn't Kajal Kamal's secret workshop the one he 00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:03.299 talked about, hinted at, in that final exam message 00:12:03.299 --> 00:12:05.340 on the board, the rules of this killing game? 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:10.059 But to reach that place, you need to find four 00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:13.100 stone tablets buried in the chest cavities of 00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:16.659 these armors and place them in a certain location. 00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:20.460 What do you do when you come to face these things? 00:12:21.580 --> 00:12:24.840 You avoided the first encounter without having 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.389 to. potentially destroy any souls or release 00:12:28.389 --> 00:12:32.250 them, but there are more awaiting you. Three 00:12:32.250 --> 00:12:36.110 students unaccounted for, right? And one of them 00:12:36.110 --> 00:12:39.129 is already killed. Do you think we can save them, 00:12:39.169 --> 00:12:42.990 Dresden? What does your gut tell you? I don't 00:12:42.990 --> 00:12:45.470 know anything at this point. We're just going 00:12:45.470 --> 00:12:49.690 to have to find out. We keep moving. You're right. 00:12:50.629 --> 00:12:52.450 We won't learn anything standing here in the 00:12:52.450 --> 00:12:56.539 hall. Where do you go? Why do we go, Dresden? 00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:02.299 Let's go across the hall here. See another door 00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:05.620 just north of the conjuration hall room? You 00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:10.519 gonna open it? Yeah. Boom. You open up to the 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.440 back of another lecture hall. You see a door 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.700 to the north. This leads right back into that 00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:16.960 long hallway you came down from. Another door 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.159 to the east that opens, you know, nowhere. This 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.470 room is... Unlike the one, it's like the main 00:13:25.470 --> 00:13:30.830 sort of speaking platform is on the eastern side 00:13:30.830 --> 00:13:34.649 of the room. You see chairs lined up. It's kind 00:13:34.649 --> 00:13:38.169 of down like this sort of sloped room, all looking 00:13:38.169 --> 00:13:41.049 down at that one board. And you do see there's 00:13:41.049 --> 00:13:42.850 something written on the board here. You're kind 00:13:42.850 --> 00:13:45.570 of looking around. You see like, I think there 00:13:45.570 --> 00:13:49.740 is actually a straight up. assigned word to the 00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:51.879 classroom kind of scrawled in chalk on the top 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.679 of the chalkboard it just says transmutation 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.940 uh you've seen a number of the spell schools 00:13:56.940 --> 00:13:59.399 here already and you're finding another one here 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.539 now but there's more on the board too you can 00:14:02.539 --> 00:14:06.460 sort of make it out from where you stand you 00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:08.399 guys want to read it yeah blanche wants to get 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.159 close enough so she can read the board it's so 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.299 funny we talked about numbers earlier because 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.799 You see a bunch of numbers on the board here 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.740 now. A number of numbers? A number of numbers. 00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:24.080 Get ready. I'm sorry I do this to you guys. Get 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:29.019 ready for this. To be solved by first years only. 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.740 To transmute is to transform, and transformation 00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:36.059 carries certain rules. One must understand the 00:14:36.059 --> 00:14:38.740 means of transformation if one is to reach a 00:14:38.740 --> 00:14:41.750 final product. This sequence below transforms 00:14:41.750 --> 00:14:46.190 via a certain rule. Find it, finish it, and accept 00:14:46.190 --> 00:14:50.970 your reward. And you see a number of numbers 00:14:50.970 --> 00:14:55.370 beneath that. You see rows. First row is 1. Second 00:14:55.370 --> 00:14:59.129 row is 1 -1. Third row is 2 -1. Fourth row is 00:14:59.129 --> 00:15:04.429 1 -2 -1 -1. Fifth row is 1 -1 -1 -2 -2 -1. And 00:15:04.429 --> 00:15:07.909 sixth row is 3 -1 -2 -2 -1 -1. Got all that? 00:15:08.070 --> 00:15:11.440 No. No, send it to us. I'll send it to you. Well, 00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:13.179 actually, no, I don't have Discord on this computer. 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.759 Yeah, I'm going to open a dock for it. Yeah. 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.799 All right, I'm going to pause. Okay, we have 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.019 everything written down. All written down. So 00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:24.860 if you guys can figure it out, you can figure 00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:26.460 it out. If you can't, maybe you can roll some 00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:29.000 die. Your characters are pretty smart. I can 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.379 give you some hints. Yeah, Blanche has a bonkers 00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:33.320 intelligence. Bonkers intelligence. Cool, yeah, 00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:37.200 Dresden's going to roll as well. Okay. What do 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.220 we... Rolling for maths. I think, ooh, I guess 00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:43.000 it's investigation. Give me straight intelligence. 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.159 Just straight intelligence. Okay. You sure you 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:46.980 don't want investigation? I'm sure. You sure 00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:48.159 you don't want investigation? Eyes of my new 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.360 seeing, like, wait. I've written really small 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.379 over here. That's the answer. God damn it. Oh, 00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:59.059 fuck. No, eight. Eight? God. Oh, no. I didn't 00:15:59.059 --> 00:16:00.940 have advantage, so. This is not the kind of puzzle 00:16:00.940 --> 00:16:03.580 you're good with. I mean, this is just like a 00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:06.480 weird little logic puzzle, but when you're looking 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.570 at it, it's like. But all you can tell is there's 00:16:09.570 --> 00:16:14.190 no mathematical relation, right? That's what 00:16:14.190 --> 00:16:15.769 I'll say is the fact that Blanche can't figure 00:16:15.769 --> 00:16:17.610 it out means that it's not just simple math. 00:16:17.769 --> 00:16:21.690 There's something dumber, I guess, that's leading 00:16:21.690 --> 00:16:23.649 to this. And that's what you're realizing. You're 00:16:23.649 --> 00:16:26.110 like, this is too stupid and I can't quite grasp 00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:28.769 what it is. But there is some kind of rule. Oh, 00:16:28.789 --> 00:16:31.590 I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got 00:16:31.590 --> 00:16:33.990 it. I got it. Stand by. Okay. I got it. I got 00:16:33.990 --> 00:16:36.879 it. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. The last line 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:43.879 is 1 -3 -1 -1 -2 -4 -2 -1 -1 -1 -1. Or four ones. 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:46.879 Hold on. You know exactly where I'm going with 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.179 this. You're literally saying out each number. 00:16:49.419 --> 00:17:03.139 So there's 1 -3 -1 -1 -1 -2 -1 -2 -4 -1. Or 1 00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:06.109 -1 -1 -1. I might have gotten the last one wrong, 00:17:06.210 --> 00:17:08.990 but you are correct. You do know what you're 00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:11.170 doing. Holy shit. You know what's really funny? 00:17:11.730 --> 00:17:15.950 I figured it out, but Dresden rolled a two. The 00:17:15.950 --> 00:17:18.349 thing is, I love this because Blanche is almost 00:17:18.349 --> 00:17:22.980 too smart to figure this out. Dresden looks at 00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:25.099 it and he's like, oh, I see. He's pragmatic. 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.819 Well, and the thing is, what's really funny is 00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:30.680 my die came down and it hit on a natural 20, 00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:34.240 but then rolled over onto the two. Hell yes. 00:17:34.500 --> 00:17:37.660 You got it. Yes, every line transforms based 00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:39.039 on what the last line is. It's just saying the 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.000 last line out loud. So it's one. That is two 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.740 ones. There's one one. And there's two ones. 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.319 That is one two. One, two, and one, one. And 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.859 that's how it goes down over the end. Good shit. 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:51.759 Thank you. Jeremy. Thank you. You know what? 00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:53.759 Take a button on top of that. Thank you. Thank 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.240 you, thank you, thank you. Do you write this 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:58.200 down on the board? Yes. I think Dresden just 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.180 doesn't even say anything. He'll just walk up 00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:03.019 while Blanche is kind of sitting here. Yeah, 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.920 I'm like, even Steven is still working through 00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:08.059 it. It's clearly impossible. We must leave. And 00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:11.259 Dresden will just come up like Matt Damon in 00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:15.660 Good Will Hunting. This is the start of it. And 00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:19.900 he's just going to finish it. Door opens. Teacher 00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:22.579 just kind of looks in and sort of nods. Single 00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:27.579 tear drops. Like, finally. Finally. You write 00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:30.380 this down. Damn. And as you write it down, you 00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:35.480 see the entire sequence on the board fades. And 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:42.240 the entire chalkboard slides up. Pinned to the 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:47.359 wall behind it. There are two scrolls. A scroll 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.420 of stone skin and a scroll of arcane eye. Oh, 00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:54.740 shit. Oh, I don't remember offhand arcane eye. 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.740 Yeah, I don't know what either of those are. 00:18:57.099 --> 00:19:01.000 Do explain. Let's see. Scroll of stone skin. 00:19:02.110 --> 00:19:03.789 This turns a flesh of a willing creature. You 00:19:03.789 --> 00:19:06.109 touch as hard as stone until a spell ends. The 00:19:06.109 --> 00:19:08.190 target has resistance to non -magical bludgeoning, 00:19:08.190 --> 00:19:11.829 piercing, and slashing damage. Really good buff 00:19:11.829 --> 00:19:16.730 spell. And then Arcane Eye. It kind of gives 00:19:16.730 --> 00:19:18.509 you a better turbo. You create an invisible magical 00:19:18.509 --> 00:19:20.410 eye within range that hovers in the air for the 00:19:20.410 --> 00:19:23.089 duration. You mentally receive visual information 00:19:23.089 --> 00:19:24.970 from the eye, which has normal vision and dark 00:19:24.970 --> 00:19:28.250 vision out to 30 feet. It can look in every direction. 00:19:28.710 --> 00:19:30.809 As an action, you can move it in any direction. 00:19:32.109 --> 00:19:33.970 There's no limit to how far away it can move, 00:19:34.109 --> 00:19:35.490 but it can't enter another plane of existence. 00:19:36.430 --> 00:19:38.630 It can't pass through solid barriers, but it 00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:40.490 can pass through an opening as small as one engine 00:19:40.490 --> 00:19:43.769 diameter. okay so yeah kind of just a almost 00:19:43.769 --> 00:19:47.470 a better turbo yeah upgrade to your turbo so 00:19:47.470 --> 00:19:52.130 these are these are um just spell scrolls right 00:19:52.130 --> 00:19:54.910 what level are they because like it doesn't let 00:19:54.910 --> 00:19:58.930 me pull up scroll oh gotcha uh fourth level oh 00:19:58.930 --> 00:20:03.450 shit and that's arcane eyes fourth level stone 00:20:03.450 --> 00:20:06.930 skin is also fourth level damn good shit it's 00:20:06.930 --> 00:20:11.299 good shit yeah that's great shit um okay Good 00:20:11.299 --> 00:20:13.180 shit on Dresden, though. That's great. I can't 00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:14.440 believe you figured it out so fast. Hell yeah, 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:16.460 dude. Yeah, that was wild. That's awesome. I 00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:18.240 was, like, worried. I was kind of sweating, like, 00:20:18.339 --> 00:20:20.079 this is going to be the worst audio ever. It's 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:23.019 been one hour saying numbers out loud, trying 00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:25.160 to figure it out. And you know what? Good on 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.259 you. You saved the episode. Dude, for real. I 00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:30.980 did my darndest to ruin this episode. Hold on. 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:35.579 Let me change the name of this. So, staring at 00:20:35.579 --> 00:20:39.619 these spell scrolls on the wall. Blanche will 00:20:39.619 --> 00:20:43.880 reach into her pocket and pull out the flask, 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:48.500 the vial that we made last episode and hand it 00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:52.940 to Dresden. Well, I think this cool shit's for 00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:56.900 me, so it's only fair that you should take this 00:20:56.900 --> 00:20:59.299 one. It's a wizard school, man. I mean, I was 00:20:59.299 --> 00:21:02.240 going to suggest that Dresden takes the Iowan. 00:21:02.619 --> 00:21:06.700 What was it called? Can you use them? Can I use 00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:08.849 them? Actually, I don't know if scrolls work. 00:21:09.289 --> 00:21:11.670 Yeah, check that. I don't use scrolls, I'm a 00:21:11.670 --> 00:21:13.490 DM. Because if it works for Dresden, my initial 00:21:13.490 --> 00:21:14.990 thought was Dresden takes that, so we have two 00:21:14.990 --> 00:21:17.650 that can do that, and then I was thinking about 00:21:17.650 --> 00:21:19.410 giving the other one to, or suggesting the other 00:21:19.410 --> 00:21:21.349 one go to Jean. Yeah, I think you might be able 00:21:21.349 --> 00:21:25.150 to use them once, but you have to make a check. 00:21:25.789 --> 00:21:29.009 Okay. But if Blanche has them, she can copy them 00:21:29.009 --> 00:21:32.170 into her spellbook. And actually, it looks like 00:21:32.170 --> 00:21:34.970 only someone who has access to the magic at the 00:21:34.970 --> 00:21:37.720 school would be. There it is. It has to be. There 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.880 it is. So Dresden takes and goes, God damn it. 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.240 I get the next two. You get the next two scrolls? 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.359 But it's what? Isn't it like an hour or something? 00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:53.740 Or is it an hour per level to learn the spell? 00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:57.480 To copy it into her spell book? That's a fair 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.420 question. Let me look it up. Again, we don't 00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:02.680 use scrolls very much. When a spell is copied 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:06.519 from a spell scroll, success is a check. Darn 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.279 it. I have to look up spell books to find them. 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.019 I think so. I think you're right. You might need 00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:12.900 to take a break if you want to actually use them. 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.460 Either take a break or we just won't be able 00:22:14.460 --> 00:22:18.019 to use them. And you do have components Jean 00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:19.539 found earlier. Yeah, that's right. So you have 00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:21.079 money worth. Yeah, I got those written down. 00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.680 200 gold worth, I believe, so far. Yeah, but 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:27.059 isn't a fourth level spell like way more than 00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:28.420 that? I don't remember what it is. I'm not going 00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:29.980 to look it up right now. So knowing this, Dresden 00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:32.940 will hand the vial back. Since you can't use 00:22:32.940 --> 00:22:40.480 those. It's all right. I'll figure out a way. 00:22:40.579 --> 00:22:47.480 I'll take all of them. Put it in my mouth. Well, 00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:49.599 Dresden, should we go back to the hall or should 00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.720 we continue through? Yeah. It's tough. There's 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:58.019 so much to see. You can go north or you can go 00:22:58.019 --> 00:23:00.420 west. Either way is unknown. Okay, so we all... 00:23:01.109 --> 00:23:04.690 We all know that he's still assuming two or one 00:23:04.690 --> 00:23:07.329 room just to the north of us here. We need to 00:23:07.329 --> 00:23:10.150 finish them off. Right. And Dresden would want 00:23:10.150 --> 00:23:12.490 to. Between us and the spell training ground. 00:23:12.569 --> 00:23:14.849 However, I think we should go into the south 00:23:14.849 --> 00:23:18.349 door here because that way we can confirm that 00:23:18.349 --> 00:23:20.329 the door, you know, if there's a door over here, 00:23:20.410 --> 00:23:21.509 we can confirm that it just connects everything. 00:23:21.809 --> 00:23:24.809 Let's confirm it. Okay. You open the door? Yep. 00:23:25.509 --> 00:23:27.569 Boom. I'll give you some of this room because 00:23:27.569 --> 00:23:29.890 there's a lot of obstructions to block your vision 00:23:29.890 --> 00:23:34.410 as you peek in. You walk in, you open the door, 00:23:34.430 --> 00:23:37.789 and you're looking into a massive library. You 00:23:37.789 --> 00:23:40.789 see a number of long shelves lined with books 00:23:40.789 --> 00:23:44.170 running long ways down this room, and you do 00:23:44.170 --> 00:23:46.769 see it's all one room. As you said, all this 00:23:46.769 --> 00:23:48.549 four doors, two doors connecting into the spell 00:23:48.549 --> 00:23:50.329 training grounds, two doors connecting into the 00:23:50.329 --> 00:23:53.690 hallway to the east of you. All connecting into 00:23:53.690 --> 00:23:56.750 this one room. You've kind of now filled out 00:23:56.750 --> 00:24:00.069 the entire sort of west half of the school with 00:24:00.069 --> 00:24:03.450 this. You're looking at this number of tables 00:24:03.450 --> 00:24:05.890 sitting out before you. Small tables with single 00:24:05.890 --> 00:24:07.430 chairs. Looks like a place where people can go 00:24:07.430 --> 00:24:11.369 and study together. Study separately. Grabbing 00:24:11.369 --> 00:24:14.289 books. And we'll say one thing you know is there 00:24:14.289 --> 00:24:17.789 is a book lying on the table. Sort of just before 00:24:17.789 --> 00:24:19.269 you there, Dresden. Just in front of this door 00:24:19.269 --> 00:24:22.630 as you walk in the room. Everything else. Totally 00:24:22.630 --> 00:24:24.410 put away, but there's just a single book that 00:24:24.410 --> 00:24:27.690 sort of seems like it's lying down, cover open, 00:24:27.849 --> 00:24:31.289 and sort of like the hard cover up top, pages 00:24:31.289 --> 00:24:34.670 kind of pressed against the table. You know when 00:24:34.670 --> 00:24:36.549 you're walking through the grocery store and 00:24:36.549 --> 00:24:38.730 you're looking for somebody? So you're just walking 00:24:38.730 --> 00:24:40.329 down the aisles and you're looking down the aisles? 00:24:40.390 --> 00:24:43.109 Yeah. Blanche wants to do that to kind of fill 00:24:43.109 --> 00:24:46.210 up the rest of the room because it's longer than 00:24:46.210 --> 00:24:49.490 it is wide by quite a big margin. Cool. So she 00:24:49.490 --> 00:24:52.109 just wants to walk the like 40 or so feet. Sure, 00:24:52.130 --> 00:24:54.549 to the right. Walk Blanche all the way over there? 00:24:54.970 --> 00:24:57.829 Well, I mean, she would go bit by bit and look 00:24:57.829 --> 00:25:01.230 down the aisle. Okay. While she's doing that, 00:25:01.289 --> 00:25:03.529 Dresden is opening the book. In one last aisle. 00:25:04.109 --> 00:25:06.710 And you see the room is clear? Just see books 00:25:06.710 --> 00:25:08.750 and books and books. You walk over to the book, 00:25:08.789 --> 00:25:11.930 Dresden? Yeah. You just see this book on the 00:25:11.930 --> 00:25:17.109 table is simply called The Art of Potatoes. What? 00:25:17.900 --> 00:25:20.220 Pulled from the hungry familiar bookworm zine. 00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:26.079 Thank you, Meg. Oh, my God. Do you just ignore 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.579 it? Do you take a look at it or anything? I mean, 00:25:28.619 --> 00:25:32.400 it couldn't hurt to look at it. You pick it up 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:35.160 and you look at the page. No, you can just grab 00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:36.759 it and look. You kind of lift it and you see 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:38.359 it's already open to a page. Just press down. 00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:40.460 You kind of pick it up and you see. There is 00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:43.599 a line highlighted on this open page. Looks like 00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:45.319 it's part of a chapter discussing the more spiritual 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:50.519 aspect of potato farming. It just says... This 00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:54.119 is serious school for serious scholastic people. 00:25:55.380 --> 00:25:58.859 It just says, one could be surprised by the rewards 00:25:58.859 --> 00:26:01.539 reaped when one shows true care for the inanimate. 00:26:01.900 --> 00:26:08.569 Oh. It's fucking deep for a potato book. Sounds 00:26:08.569 --> 00:26:12.109 like a potato wrote it. But with that, nothing 00:26:12.109 --> 00:26:14.049 looks out of place in this room. Just that weird 00:26:14.049 --> 00:26:16.309 little book there. What do you want to do? Okay. 00:26:17.990 --> 00:26:23.910 Gosh. Your call, Blanche. I'm trying to think 00:26:23.910 --> 00:26:28.829 if there might be some book in here that could 00:26:28.829 --> 00:26:31.769 help us. I wouldn't know where to begin looking, 00:26:31.869 --> 00:26:33.890 though. You see in this room, I'll say, because 00:26:33.890 --> 00:26:37.069 maybe you're kind of looking at the various subjects 00:26:37.069 --> 00:26:39.049 in here. Right, exactly. And it looks like it's 00:26:39.049 --> 00:26:42.670 involving history, more to the western side, 00:26:42.809 --> 00:26:43.990 and then it kind of gets further into biology 00:26:43.990 --> 00:26:47.849 and agriculture, and from there into kind of 00:26:47.849 --> 00:26:54.450 like animal lore and care. Any like back corner 00:26:54.450 --> 00:26:59.529 hidden bookshelves, maybe like a necromancy area? 00:27:00.809 --> 00:27:03.940 No. I'll save you the roll. Nothing like that 00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:07.140 in here. Wow. You can do a deep dive roll in 00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:08.759 this room and see if you want to like really 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.460 comb it. That's fine. I will say you need to 00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:14.460 actually roll. You can't take time on this one. 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.440 Sure. In a room like this, if there are secrets, 00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:20.079 it's going to be hard to find them. You're going 00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:22.339 to need to roll investigation and you're going 00:27:22.339 --> 00:27:24.460 to need to roll high because there's so many 00:27:24.460 --> 00:27:27.759 places to look in a library. Okay. I think Blanche 00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.220 is comfortable in libraries. She's familiar with 00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:32.980 libraries. That's her mind palace as a library. 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:36.759 I think she's going to use that familiarity, 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.599 throw her eyes up my new seeing on, and try an 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:49.339 investigation check. Okay. All right. Two and 00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:53.039 a three on the die. Nope. Just an eight. Nothing 00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:57.220 stands out. Yeah. She's distracted. I mean, she 00:27:57.220 --> 00:28:00.339 would love to be able to take an afternoon and 00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:04.579 really dive into these shelves and read and learn, 00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:08.259 but it's just not what she can focus on right 00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:12.259 now. I don't have time for this. It's too overwhelming. 00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:14.839 There's too much here. We're wasting precious 00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.000 time. I think we just need to try and see what 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.079 else we can find, Dresden. I'm sorry. I don't 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.339 want to stay here any longer. Then let's go. 00:28:25.450 --> 00:28:27.710 Lead the way. You guys taking that potato book 00:28:27.710 --> 00:28:30.069 with you? Yes, we'll take the potato book. Just 00:28:30.069 --> 00:28:32.049 gonna leave it on the table. When this is all 00:28:32.049 --> 00:28:37.609 over, I want to start a farm. He shoves it under 00:28:37.609 --> 00:28:39.789 his shirt. I never knew that about you, Dresden. 00:28:39.910 --> 00:28:43.170 I never knew that either. Until now. Dresden's 00:28:43.170 --> 00:28:45.230 like, cool, I finally got a cool thing. I got 00:28:45.230 --> 00:28:50.589 a potato book. If you read that, this is actually 00:28:50.589 --> 00:28:52.829 by Meg. You get advantage on any agricultural 00:28:52.829 --> 00:28:55.589 checks. Really? Knowledge checks around potatoes. 00:28:55.910 --> 00:29:00.670 Fuck yeah. Yeah, you know your shit. Cool. Steven 00:29:00.670 --> 00:29:02.990 is so mad that we're probably leaving some really 00:29:02.990 --> 00:29:05.849 great nuggets of knowledge behind. I don't know. 00:29:06.089 --> 00:29:09.660 I don't know. I don't know. I mean... Who can 00:29:09.660 --> 00:29:12.559 say? Certainly not me. The fact that it would 00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:15.019 be so hard to find anything leads me to believe 00:29:15.019 --> 00:29:17.579 it's not much. Well, that tells me the opposite. 00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:21.640 It's probably not crucial to solving the puzzle, 00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:24.819 but probably super helpful. So Blanche will bust 00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:28.539 out into the hall through the eastern door. And 00:29:28.539 --> 00:29:30.660 Justin will go, oh, shit. And he'll run around 00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:36.269 the outside corner and chase after him. Gosh. 00:29:36.329 --> 00:29:38.470 Two doors on this side and a hallway in the north. 00:29:38.970 --> 00:29:41.769 Wait, where's the second door? I just see this 00:29:41.769 --> 00:29:43.730 door here. It's probably because I didn't really 00:29:43.730 --> 00:29:47.490 highlight it well enough. There you go. Oh. Ah, 00:29:47.549 --> 00:29:49.069 there it is. Okay, I mean, that's the obvious 00:29:49.069 --> 00:29:50.549 door. That's right in front of us. You're walking 00:29:50.549 --> 00:29:53.309 out and you're okay? Yeah. You guys going into 00:29:53.309 --> 00:29:55.289 the other room here? Yeah. I say we take this 00:29:55.289 --> 00:30:01.750 one, Dresden. Dresden will pop it open. It's 00:30:01.750 --> 00:30:07.450 another wing. of the library you open up and 00:30:07.450 --> 00:30:10.849 immediately you just see uh four tables lined 00:30:10.849 --> 00:30:13.170 up against the sort of western wall that you're 00:30:13.170 --> 00:30:16.269 approaching in from and you see all these racks 00:30:16.269 --> 00:30:19.849 uh yeah just like this like bookshelves going 00:30:19.849 --> 00:30:22.789 far into the back of the room and it just goes 00:30:22.789 --> 00:30:24.650 on and on and on there's a door right below you 00:30:24.650 --> 00:30:26.910 there actually right to the south uh two doors 00:30:26.910 --> 00:30:29.769 in fact as you walk into the room blanche is 00:30:29.769 --> 00:30:33.329 gonna read the the like subject matter on the 00:30:34.959 --> 00:30:38.279 Library shelves. Again, she wants to look to 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:39.980 see if there's anything that talks about necromancy. 00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:42.980 Shorter shelf here. First one, just like combat 00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:44.299 arts. And then you kind of look and then you 00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:46.900 see a lot of these are more the dense magical 00:30:46.900 --> 00:30:50.019 stuff, right? It's like your abjuration books, 00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:54.299 conjuration. You don't immediately see anything 00:30:54.299 --> 00:30:58.160 on necromancy. If there is necromancy, it's not. 00:30:58.730 --> 00:31:01.069 publicly written down because you see signs immediately 00:31:01.069 --> 00:31:03.009 pointing to different parts of the library where 00:31:03.009 --> 00:31:05.369 you can find books on each major magical subject 00:31:05.369 --> 00:31:09.170 alchemy and artifice and everything you've seen 00:31:09.170 --> 00:31:12.450 so far here okay so i think she wants to maybe 00:31:12.450 --> 00:31:17.269 like walk the walk the bookshelves and scan and 00:31:17.269 --> 00:31:20.829 try to find where there might be like a quote 00:31:20.829 --> 00:31:23.890 -unquote hidden section about necromancy maybe 00:31:23.890 --> 00:31:30.019 it's not um you know prominently displayed Okay. 00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:31.859 You go in and start moving. Where's everyone 00:31:31.859 --> 00:31:35.480 else going while this is happening? Keo is following 00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:39.440 Blanche close behind. Yeah. Dresden is following 00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:43.359 in. I kind of want to crack this door. But I'm 00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:45.759 scared to crack that door. Don't be scared of 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:47.819 a little crack. So you're going to the door. 00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:51.140 Where's John? He's staying with you? Yeah. Where 00:31:51.140 --> 00:31:55.950 is John? You've been... Oh, he's back in the 00:31:55.950 --> 00:31:59.329 rope room. He's way over there. He's just panning 00:31:59.329 --> 00:32:00.750 over to the rope room and John's just in his 00:32:00.750 --> 00:32:04.230 mouth. So yeah, while she's going, Dresden will 00:32:04.230 --> 00:32:06.069 crack that door. Alright, let's get John over 00:32:06.069 --> 00:32:08.730 here. I suppose he stays by you, Dresden. I kind 00:32:08.730 --> 00:32:10.809 of just want everyone to be separated. Alright, 00:32:11.349 --> 00:32:13.549 you crack open the door down there. Blanche, 00:32:13.609 --> 00:32:17.309 you go ahead and start moving. Yes. You're looking 00:32:17.309 --> 00:32:20.849 in and it seems like some kind of personal quarters, 00:32:21.049 --> 00:32:24.089 Dresden? Chepico, and then you see another small 00:32:24.089 --> 00:32:29.029 shelf in here, a desk with a nameplate there. 00:32:29.450 --> 00:32:40.529 It just says, Miss Rochelle. Our cartographer. 00:32:40.809 --> 00:32:44.069 Sound Pukey Girl Maps, PhD. Sound Pukey Girl 00:32:44.069 --> 00:32:49.549 PhD. It's a map on the table. And you're looking 00:32:49.549 --> 00:32:51.569 and you see this little divider on the other 00:32:51.569 --> 00:32:53.210 side of the room and you don't see what's beyond 00:32:53.210 --> 00:32:55.950 that divider. Okay. You said there's, wait, where's 00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:58.369 the divider? That little squiggly line. Squiggly 00:32:58.369 --> 00:33:00.609 line. And I don't see behind it? You don't see 00:33:00.609 --> 00:33:02.170 behind it. You need to move around it to see 00:33:02.170 --> 00:33:04.970 behind it. Very effective divider. Yeah. Right. 00:33:06.230 --> 00:33:09.650 Yeah. Sorry if this is stupid. I'm going to bring 00:33:09.650 --> 00:33:11.230 John in with me and look behind the divider. 00:33:11.329 --> 00:33:13.400 Okay. I don't think it's stupid. I thought something 00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:14.940 could suck me in. Yeah, I mean, it's what we're 00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:17.500 doing. We're crawling. We're dungeon crawling. 00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:20.339 Move into the room. Move up to this divider. 00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:24.259 You see it looks like a long sort of black curtain 00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:26.420 on this side of the room, and you go to move 00:33:26.420 --> 00:33:28.640 to the curtain to lift it to look beyond. As 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.220 you're reaching down, Blanche, you were doing 00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:34.099 something? Oh, fuck. What are you doing? Yeah, 00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:38.140 Blanche is going to find the bookshelf that, 00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:40.240 well, she'll start with the left -hand bookshelf 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:43.059 here, just to the left of the door. Start to 00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:47.740 peruse them. Try to see if she can find a section 00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:50.119 that piques her interest. She's specifically 00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:52.319 looking for books on necromancy. Just go ahead 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.319 and move your character. He just cares where 00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:58.900 you're at. Scanning down it. Focusing in. You 00:33:58.900 --> 00:34:01.500 don't see anything. Nothing on necromancy. This 00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:04.079 is where it's all combat arts. Kind of stuff 00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:05.700 that you would specialize in. It's like a low 00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:09.940 shelf. Nothing that really stands out to you. 00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:14.289 Okay. She'll... She'll move a few feet over to 00:34:14.289 --> 00:34:18.610 check the shelf. You move over to an eastern 00:34:18.610 --> 00:34:21.329 shelf that kind of snakes our elbows out, and 00:34:21.329 --> 00:34:24.530 there's an alcove you can't quite see just north 00:34:24.530 --> 00:34:27.829 of you. The beginning of the long darkness of 00:34:27.829 --> 00:34:31.570 the unseen shelves of the library. We pan back 00:34:31.570 --> 00:34:34.130 into the bedroom. You want to open that curtain? 00:34:34.610 --> 00:34:38.219 Yeah. The bedroom? Oh, you said personal quarters. 00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:41.559 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I misplaced personal quarters 00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:44.239 with like an office. Gotcha, gotcha. It's a combo. 00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:45.980 Is it something that could just be like ripped 00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:50.579 down? Yeah. Okay. He just rips it down. I'm getting 00:34:50.579 --> 00:34:58.340 changed. Empty bed. You see nothing. Anything 00:34:58.340 --> 00:35:02.400 worth a check? Could be. I'm gone. Only a check 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.409 will tell. I know. All right. You're going to 00:35:05.409 --> 00:35:09.090 start looking? Investigation? Yeah. Okay. Hold 00:35:09.090 --> 00:35:10.989 your roll. You're not going to be finishing that 00:35:10.989 --> 00:35:13.690 check. Right, right. Because as you go to look, 00:35:13.849 --> 00:35:18.630 we pan back out into the main room. Oh, no. As 00:35:18.630 --> 00:35:23.429 something slides out from the darkness of the 00:35:23.429 --> 00:35:30.989 alcove. Holy shit. We see this gigantic scorpion. 00:35:31.420 --> 00:35:35.400 with this translucent light blue shell like nothing 00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:39.099 you've ever seen before. You see its tail is 00:35:39.099 --> 00:35:42.480 dripping with this purple ichor, this venom. 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:47.800 It comes out to strike at Blanche and Akio. Roll 00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:59.320 for initiative. Oh, God. Three rolls between... 00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:03.000 Blanche and Akio. What do we got? Blanche got 00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:10.480 a five. Akio got a nine. Big trouble. Big trouble. 00:36:11.579 --> 00:36:15.860 Dresden is a 12. Jaune is a 15. Jaune's the fastest 00:36:15.860 --> 00:36:18.119 one on the field. That's the first time that 00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:24.780 has ever happened. Oh, let me roll. Once Blanche 00:36:24.780 --> 00:36:27.440 notices, of course, she'll, you know, sail over 00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:32.280 her shoulder. Ah. Dresden. You hear that, Dresden, 00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:35.619 and you kind of turn. Blanche, I'll be the first 00:36:35.619 --> 00:36:38.219 to go. This thing is going to run up to you. 00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:41.679 It is going to attack you. It's going to attack 00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:47.480 you three times. Oh, man. Holy shit. That's a 00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:52.699 miss. That's a miss. Now the one that really 00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:55.559 matters. Here comes the sting. You just two claws 00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.820 come out and you kind of just parry, parry. And 00:36:57.820 --> 00:37:01.059 the stinger flashes down at you. And then Akio 00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:06.320 is going to use his defender reaction. Oh, wait 00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:07.460 a minute. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. 00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:11.340 Creature within five feet of, oh no, the creature's 00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:13.460 not within five feet of Akio. You're within five 00:37:13.460 --> 00:37:15.920 feet of Akio, so defender works for you. Okay. 00:37:16.230 --> 00:37:18.690 Yep, he can defend you, basically. Gotcha. So 00:37:18.690 --> 00:37:22.030 I believe, right? Maybe I'm wrong. It says it's 00:37:22.030 --> 00:37:24.130 reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack 00:37:24.130 --> 00:37:26.909 roll of a creature within five feet of it, whose 00:37:26.909 --> 00:37:30.469 target is not the sidekick. So Defender doesn't 00:37:30.469 --> 00:37:33.050 work, but Warding Bark does. Okay, all right. 00:37:33.070 --> 00:37:35.269 So he's going to use the Warding Bark reaction. 00:37:35.590 --> 00:37:37.170 Hell yeah. I mean, you see, like, this thing's 00:37:37.170 --> 00:37:38.909 coming at you. That poison tail, and you think 00:37:38.909 --> 00:37:41.869 about the puncture wounds and the armor just... 00:37:42.219 --> 00:37:45.260 Down the side of the library, you see that same 00:37:45.260 --> 00:37:48.300 purple ichor and you realize there's so much 00:37:48.300 --> 00:37:51.800 more going on here than just this creature. What 00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:55.480 does warding bark do? That imposes disadvantage, 00:37:55.900 --> 00:37:59.360 causing a light to flare before the attacker. 00:37:59.860 --> 00:38:02.199 Hell yeah. Yeah. Read the whole thing for me. 00:38:02.380 --> 00:38:06.280 Yeah, it says, you like start to finish? Read 00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:10.320 the end of it. An attacker that can't be blinded 00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:12.730 is immune to this feature. What about an attacker 00:38:12.730 --> 00:38:17.190 with blindsight? Is my question. I guess that 00:38:17.190 --> 00:38:19.630 would count as can't be blinded. So I'm going 00:38:19.630 --> 00:38:21.750 to say it does not actually ask flashes out. 00:38:21.949 --> 00:38:25.530 It doesn't do anything. Fuck. Oh, let's just 00:38:25.530 --> 00:38:31.250 roll. Miss. Okay. Still miss. Damn it. Dude, 00:38:31.309 --> 00:38:32.989 I'm rolling so cold tonight, but it's going to 00:38:32.989 --> 00:38:34.789 change. It's going to change. This thing, the 00:38:34.789 --> 00:38:38.329 flashing light. And you see it still tries to 00:38:38.329 --> 00:38:39.989 strike true at you, but you managed to parry 00:38:39.989 --> 00:38:42.230 it at the last second, Blanche. That poison barbed 00:38:42.230 --> 00:38:45.389 tail just by your eye gets sliding off to the 00:38:45.389 --> 00:38:50.929 side. And now, oh, now, let's bring the others 00:38:50.929 --> 00:38:56.929 out. Oh, God. Wait, others? Oh, no. With my 80 00:38:56.929 --> 00:39:01.289 -foot movement doubled, the second one slides 00:39:01.289 --> 00:39:06.789 out. Jesus. comes crawling down across the floor 00:39:06.789 --> 00:39:08.909 from the north, slides on top of one of these 00:39:08.909 --> 00:39:11.570 tables, looking over at Kiyo, not quite able 00:39:11.570 --> 00:39:15.369 to strike, but it's poised aggressively to make 00:39:15.369 --> 00:39:18.710 a move. And you see another one follows behind, 00:39:18.869 --> 00:39:24.550 sliding down as well, just a short ways north 00:39:24.550 --> 00:39:27.309 of the two. And suddenly you find yourself surrounded 00:39:27.309 --> 00:39:31.929 by scorpions. And it's going to be Jean. Jean? 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:35.460 Stay back if you can. They're bunched up. I might 00:39:35.460 --> 00:39:39.280 be able to do something here. So Jean will move 00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.800 to Blanche, just behind her. And he will say, 00:39:42.900 --> 00:39:48.519 are you sure? Are you sure, sir? Yeah, I don't 00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:51.300 know that Jean has any ranged attack actions. 00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:55.179 No, but he was going to go into shell defense 00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:58.599 for a turn. If you really don't want him to do 00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:02.699 anything. Well... Brace for Riptide? Brace for 00:40:02.699 --> 00:40:10.880 Riptide? She'll kind of use some of their training 00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.800 speak to sort of direct him to not get within 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:18.300 a certain area. She'll be like, stay within Snow 00:40:18.300 --> 00:40:23.420 Crab's length of me. Snow Crab's length? They're 00:40:23.420 --> 00:40:28.699 long, but not too long. Like a long crab reach. 00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:33.019 Okay, so tell me what the fuck... Kind of like 00:40:33.019 --> 00:40:36.840 in this corner here. That's the title of the 00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:38.880 episode. Wait, she wants him to stay away, but 00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:40.820 she wants him to go right next to this one? Well, 00:40:40.820 --> 00:40:45.539 so that's away from, like, this center. This 00:40:45.539 --> 00:40:47.900 is kind of what I'm... I'm trying to do something 00:40:47.900 --> 00:40:50.960 here that's going to do... What about right here, 00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:53.199 then? Yeah, but then he won't be able to attack 00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:56.780 there. True. Okay, good point. Okay, say yes, 00:40:56.800 --> 00:41:00.340 sir. Yes, sir! He slides up. moving up beside 00:41:00.340 --> 00:41:03.599 the sort of combat art shelf you were looking 00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:05.780 at before, moving up towards the scorpion that's 00:41:05.780 --> 00:41:07.260 kind of staying on a table, and now you have 00:41:07.260 --> 00:41:09.960 that one sort of in the range of Jaune and Akio. 00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:11.980 So then he will go there and then go into your 00:41:11.980 --> 00:41:15.679 shell defense? Hell yeah. And he wraps up in 00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.099 the shell. This thing kind of turns to face him 00:41:19.099 --> 00:41:25.619 and sees an immovable object. Hell yeah. And 00:41:25.619 --> 00:41:31.690 that's going to be someone. Oh my god, what? 00:41:32.769 --> 00:41:35.929 Didn't realize it was someone's turn. In a flash 00:41:35.929 --> 00:41:40.030 of light, you see upon the bookshelf that you 00:41:40.030 --> 00:41:42.869 are just sort of peering at Blanche, sort of 00:41:42.869 --> 00:41:44.510 the northern end of the bookshelf, just standing 00:41:44.510 --> 00:41:48.829 about 15 feet high, a black armored figure just 00:41:48.829 --> 00:41:54.329 appears. You see Ozen's armor, another AG -6, 00:41:54.630 --> 00:41:59.010 which looks down to all of you. And casts a spell. 00:42:00.829 --> 00:42:03.409 Oh, I've been waiting for this. This is going 00:42:03.409 --> 00:42:05.929 to be so awesome. Let me double check this one. 00:42:07.210 --> 00:42:13.050 Oh, yeah, baby. Shit. Do I really want to do 00:42:13.050 --> 00:42:15.210 this? You doing something? You got something 00:42:15.210 --> 00:42:19.969 you're going to do? I don't know. I don't want 00:42:19.969 --> 00:42:22.909 to. I don't want to. Speak in half or hold your 00:42:22.909 --> 00:42:26.500 peace. What's your plan? No, it's fine. I don't 00:42:26.500 --> 00:42:29.139 think I'm going to do it now. Okay. This creature 00:42:29.139 --> 00:42:31.980 just appears and wordlessly, somatic gesture, 00:42:32.059 --> 00:42:35.699 and it points forward right down towards you, 00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:39.440 Blanche. And that's the last thing you see before 00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:46.079 a fog cloud obscures the entire area around you. 00:42:46.699 --> 00:42:49.519 And you remember this thing striking even after 00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:53.119 the blinding light and realize the trap you've 00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:57.840 stepped into. Oh, yeah. Everyone around these 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:02.659 creatures is now effectively blinded. Yep, definitely 00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:05.239 should have used Counterspell then. Oh, that 00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:08.659 would have been the time. But it's too late now. 00:43:09.099 --> 00:43:10.940 But that's all I'm going to do. That's all I 00:43:10.940 --> 00:43:12.179 can do this turn. So we're going to go on to 00:43:12.179 --> 00:43:16.539 Dresden Kellig, who just so happened. Fuck. To 00:43:16.539 --> 00:43:20.840 gained blindsight. Last episode. The one character. 00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.739 Mr. One -Eye. The only eye here that can see. 00:43:25.500 --> 00:43:29.920 Okay. So he will move out now. Hell yeah. You 00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.639 just run out and you see again, full fog cloud. 00:43:32.699 --> 00:43:33.940 Now that you're leaving the room, it's just like 00:43:33.940 --> 00:43:36.119 everywhere. And you just charge into it. And 00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:38.679 the second you step through it, you close your 00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.179 eye. And you can see it all around you. I imagine 00:43:42.179 --> 00:43:44.860 just like this vivid, almost like seeing white 00:43:44.860 --> 00:43:47.639 lines on black, like charcoal sketches, you know, 00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:49.900 moving slightly, painting all the characters. 00:43:50.019 --> 00:43:51.960 Jaune just north of you, Akio just beside you, 00:43:52.059 --> 00:43:54.559 Blanche beyond him, pinned against this bookshelf, 00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:58.519 three massive scorpions. You can't see the figure 00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:02.480 beyond them. Sweet, so... Who's between those 00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:04.699 two scorpions? That's just a placeholder to have 00:44:04.699 --> 00:44:06.159 the fall cloud effect, to be honest. Oh, okay, 00:44:06.260 --> 00:44:09.460 okay, okay. I can't see the effect. I can just 00:44:09.460 --> 00:44:11.059 see the... Oh, whoops. Okay. Let me get you guys 00:44:11.059 --> 00:44:13.260 on that. Okay, there. Did you just say I can 00:44:13.260 --> 00:44:15.260 see him or I can't see him? You can't. That figure's 00:44:15.260 --> 00:44:16.880 not... He's behind... Okay. Oh, the figure that's 00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:18.159 in here you cannot see. I believe your blind 00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:20.659 sight has a range of 30 feet. Okay, cool. So 00:44:20.659 --> 00:44:25.599 Dresden will manifest this echo behind the scorpion 00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:29.019 nearest Blanche. Hell yeah. Is that enough for 00:44:29.019 --> 00:44:32.300 flanking? Yes, the echo is targetable. It does 00:44:32.300 --> 00:44:35.219 get flanking. It's going to appear right there. 00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:38.780 Cool. He's going to go in. Stay on the shelf 00:44:38.780 --> 00:44:41.300 there. Hell yeah, you go in and attack in the 00:44:41.300 --> 00:44:42.980 sky. So flanking on the scorpion, the one that 00:44:42.980 --> 00:44:45.260 just struck. You appear from whence it came next 00:44:45.260 --> 00:44:47.920 to the bookshelf. I can open up more map. Go 00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:57.380 ahead and strike. So that's a 22 and a 12. 22 00:44:57.380 --> 00:45:00.420 hits, 12 misses. Fuck. Okay. That's with flanking? 00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:06.900 14. Still misses. Fuck. I love that. 24 missed, 00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:14.699 too? For 12. 12 damage. Yep. Hell yeah. You come 00:45:14.699 --> 00:45:16.920 in, and again, just like the war pick, the perfect 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:22.019 one to break through this weird translucent light 00:45:22.019 --> 00:45:25.219 blue chitin that you just crack as you break 00:45:25.219 --> 00:45:29.019 through. But it still lives. That's your turn? 00:45:29.940 --> 00:45:34.239 Yes. All right. That's Akio. And Akio is blinded. 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:38.719 Okay, so Akio can't see anything that's in front 00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:42.539 of him? No. All right. He knows they were there. 00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:44.380 The fog will happen after they appeared, so he 00:45:44.380 --> 00:45:45.800 can roughly attack them. He would have disadvantage 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:48.719 in all attacks, though. Okay. We also established 00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:50.900 that if creatures have keen smell, they can smell. 00:45:51.380 --> 00:45:54.719 Right, yes, okay, yeah. So he definitely has 00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:58.119 keen hearing and smell. He smells the fresh ichor 00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:01.940 spilled by Dresden. Okay, so he's going to, he 00:46:01.940 --> 00:46:03.739 knows where Blanche is. He can smell Blanche. 00:46:04.420 --> 00:46:09.760 He's going to, hmm? Ew. Akio's going to step 00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:15.340 up next to Blanche and attack the scorpion that's 00:46:15.340 --> 00:46:17.719 in front of her. All right, give me that attack. 00:46:18.059 --> 00:46:19.880 That same one that's already been struck once. 00:46:21.099 --> 00:46:28.099 Does the flanking with the echo cancel out the 00:46:28.099 --> 00:46:30.659 disadvantage? No, but it would give you a plus 00:46:30.659 --> 00:46:33.820 two on the disadvantage. Okay. You can draw a 00:46:33.820 --> 00:46:38.400 line through, so yeah. Okay. So 18 on the first. 00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:46.460 And like a... 20 -something on the second. With 00:46:46.460 --> 00:46:48.760 disadvantage? Holy shit. Yeah, dude, I rolled 00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:51.139 an 18 and a 20 on the second. Those are two hits. 00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:53.980 Yeah, excellent. Those are two hits. Oh, my God. 00:46:54.039 --> 00:47:02.739 Let me grab my D8. And I'll grab this D8. Awful. 00:47:02.820 --> 00:47:12.460 One and three on the D8s. So that's 14. 14. Still 00:47:12.460 --> 00:47:15.690 up. Looking pretty damn bad. You just carve through 00:47:15.690 --> 00:47:19.730 and... The huge gashes take from the face of 00:47:19.730 --> 00:47:21.809 this thing. A bunch of its eyes ripped apart. 00:47:21.969 --> 00:47:26.550 Good thing it has blind sight. Makes a scorpion 00:47:26.550 --> 00:47:30.710 sound at you. That's the end of Akio's turn. 00:47:31.010 --> 00:47:34.730 Okay, and that's Blanche. Ah, damn. 19 or 20 00:47:34.730 --> 00:47:36.690 is important. Oh, wait, did you get a... No, 00:47:36.690 --> 00:47:39.010 no, no, it was an 18. No, it was really close. 00:47:39.650 --> 00:47:45.789 Okay, Blanche. Is... Yeah, I think she needs 00:47:45.789 --> 00:47:48.250 to burn another blade song. She's going to enter 00:47:48.250 --> 00:47:52.730 into blade song. And... Did I miss a blade song 00:47:52.730 --> 00:47:55.010 previously? In one of the more recent episodes? 00:47:55.510 --> 00:47:57.269 I don't think so. Have you used blade song yet 00:47:57.269 --> 00:48:01.650 here? I had one checked off. I don't remember 00:48:01.650 --> 00:48:06.030 you using it. It resets after a long rest, so... 00:48:06.409 --> 00:48:08.730 If you didn't reset it or something. I feel like 00:48:08.730 --> 00:48:10.510 you haven't used Bladesong. Okay. Well, if it 00:48:10.510 --> 00:48:13.570 gets down to the nitty gritty, we can figure 00:48:13.570 --> 00:48:16.110 it out. Yeah. Okay. So for now, all of us. Resources 00:48:16.110 --> 00:48:19.389 are going to matter a lot. Yeah. That's for sure. 00:48:19.389 --> 00:48:21.230 And the pants people tell us. I just thought 00:48:21.230 --> 00:48:22.530 because I don't remember hearing it and then 00:48:22.530 --> 00:48:24.750 putting in the Bladesong. Oh, sure. That's a 00:48:24.750 --> 00:48:27.650 good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I wonder if I just 00:48:27.650 --> 00:48:30.230 missed it is the thing. If I was just going fast. 00:48:31.210 --> 00:48:41.119 Right. And gosh. So I'm out of bonus actions, 00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:47.360 unfortunately. So what she'll do is draw Paloma's 00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:51.940 short sword and go for two swings against the... 00:48:51.940 --> 00:48:54.519 Ooh, the Paloma's sword, hell yeah. Yeah, I think 00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:56.320 it's the first time she's pulled it out. I think 00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:59.579 so. And she'll join Akio in trying to take down 00:48:59.579 --> 00:49:04.199 this scorpion. Okay, okay. So disadvantage, but 00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:07.590 plus two. to the disadvantaged roll, right? Yeah. 00:49:11.030 --> 00:49:15.909 So 17 for the first. Oh, yeah. And the second's 00:49:15.909 --> 00:49:20.269 22. What are these rolls? Well, I just rolled 00:49:20.269 --> 00:49:23.929 a 13, 14. Hot dog. Okay. Hey, they both hit. 00:49:24.030 --> 00:49:28.530 Both hit. Okay, great. They both hit. It's like 00:49:28.530 --> 00:49:32.639 almost the same damage roll. 15. 15 damage. You 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:35.219 can't even see what you're striking at. You just 00:49:35.219 --> 00:49:37.480 know it was there. You could feel that barb so 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:41.099 close to you. The smoke fog just like fully encompasses 00:49:41.099 --> 00:49:43.760 your vision. You feel action happening all around 00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:46.800 you. You can feel a spurt of ichor or dresden 00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:50.280 cuts, and you just drive forward, striking into 00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:52.340 what you cannot see, and you feel your blade 00:49:52.340 --> 00:49:57.199 cleaving through. Describe what you feel as you 00:49:57.199 --> 00:50:01.690 kill this thing. Yeah, she hits the first time 00:50:01.690 --> 00:50:08.409 and she can feel in that spot where two pieces 00:50:08.409 --> 00:50:12.030 of its exoskeleton meet. So the second strike, 00:50:12.070 --> 00:50:14.789 she hits the same spot, but harder at a different 00:50:14.789 --> 00:50:20.190 angle. And she breaks through and cuts in between 00:50:20.190 --> 00:50:26.050 two pieces of exoskeleton. Hell yeah. This thing 00:50:26.050 --> 00:50:34.929 falls. And as it does so, others charge in. Akio 00:50:34.929 --> 00:50:38.389 is standing the furthest to the north in this 00:50:38.389 --> 00:50:41.449 room, slightly away from the rest. I'm going 00:50:41.449 --> 00:50:45.309 to have these two kind of come up together, the 00:50:45.309 --> 00:50:48.550 two remaining. You cannot see anything that happens 00:50:48.550 --> 00:50:52.550 now. So let me tell you what you hear as I make. 00:50:53.699 --> 00:50:57.800 Six attacks. Oh, no. Dude, Dresden is the only 00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:00.039 one that can see this happening right now. All 00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:01.579 of these attacks, by the way, have advantage. 00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:06.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What? I guess 00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:10.039 that'll maybe work. I'll be fair here. I'm going 00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:13.920 to make a couple attacks on Jean because these 00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:16.269 things don't know he's invincible. And he is 00:51:16.269 --> 00:51:18.130 just as far north. He's just as far north. I'm 00:51:18.130 --> 00:51:19.369 looking at it now. One of them can attack him. 00:51:19.389 --> 00:51:20.590 So I'm going to make this first attack is on 00:51:20.590 --> 00:51:23.530 Jaune. Okay. That is going to be a 19 to hit. 00:51:24.110 --> 00:51:26.989 No. Okay. Now with shell defense. Bounce off 00:51:26.989 --> 00:51:31.650 the shell. The claw is going at him. But hang 00:51:31.650 --> 00:51:34.469 on. That's going to be an 18 to hit. Nope. Okay. 00:51:34.630 --> 00:51:37.150 This thing tries twice to get Jaune. Now it knows 00:51:37.150 --> 00:51:39.530 it can't get to him. Its stinger whirls around 00:51:39.530 --> 00:51:48.849 towards Akio. That is a 22 to hit. 22 hits. Go 00:51:48.849 --> 00:51:51.949 ahead and make for me a constitution saving throw. 00:51:55.429 --> 00:52:01.849 Oh, no. It's a six. Okay. Akito takes six piercing 00:52:01.849 --> 00:52:04.210 damage as this drives into him, as well as... 00:52:04.210 --> 00:52:15.179 24 poison damage. You suck. How big are these 00:52:15.179 --> 00:52:19.340 squares? 10 feet. So I'm 10 foot from Akio? You 00:52:19.340 --> 00:52:21.440 are 10 feet from Akio. God damn it. And now the 00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:22.880 second one's going to make some attacks on Akio. 00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:27.420 Hold on, Hellish Reboot. Oh, oh, Hellish Reboot, 00:52:27.460 --> 00:52:32.360 okay. So I need a dex save. Dex save, all right. 00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:37.139 That is a two on the die. Nice, okay. So you'll 00:52:37.139 --> 00:52:39.920 probably be taking 2d10 fire damage then. Oh, 00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:43.599 the poison rips. You just hear the sound of Akio 00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:45.599 crying out, and you just kind of hear this roaring. 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:55.719 Bark, flames sizzling. 12. 12, not bad. Hell 00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:02.980 yeah. Now I get to kill him. 20 to hit in the 00:53:02.980 --> 00:53:05.059 claw. Jesus. And another hit in the claw. At 00:53:05.059 --> 00:53:07.019 least I get a crit on that. Jesus. I got a crit 00:53:07.019 --> 00:53:10.579 on that. Oh, my God. Okay, let's do some math 00:53:10.579 --> 00:53:15.039 here. So Akio takes six points of damage from 00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:17.559 one claw followed by... It's low damage on the 00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:19.519 claws. Eight points of damage from the crit. 00:53:19.659 --> 00:53:21.800 So just kind of grabbed, grabbed. Just two legs 00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:23.260 are grabbed and sort of yanked out from under 00:53:23.260 --> 00:53:26.420 him. And he's sort of held, grappled, blinded 00:53:26.420 --> 00:53:30.099 as a stinger rises up again. Oh, shit. Okay. 00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:33.179 You can do two a day. Oh, my God. No, he needs 00:53:33.179 --> 00:53:35.880 another reaction. That's right. All right. He 00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:38.500 wants to. Next round. Smoke spewing from his 00:53:38.500 --> 00:53:40.800 mouth. Yeah, I got excited. And it comes down. 00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:46.219 And that's going to hit. Give me that con save. 00:53:47.800 --> 00:53:49.659 Told you she was going to heat up, didn't I? 00:53:49.739 --> 00:53:56.960 Didn't I tell you? Oh, baby. Ten. Dude, I really 00:53:56.960 --> 00:53:58.940 wish I hadn't put Jaune in shell defense because 00:53:58.940 --> 00:54:02.960 I could do Noble Sacrifice. That is 19 points 00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:07.139 of poison damage. Plus five points of piercing 00:54:07.139 --> 00:54:11.010 damage. Okay, still up, but not by much. Just 00:54:11.010 --> 00:54:14.730 a huge jab right in his back as he's being held 00:54:14.730 --> 00:54:20.869 fast, swarmed by these creatures. That's their 00:54:20.869 --> 00:54:24.329 turn. That's going to be Jean. He's going to 00:54:24.329 --> 00:54:27.309 bonus action, get out of his shell. He just pops 00:54:27.309 --> 00:54:29.230 out. He took a couple hits there. I thought he 00:54:29.230 --> 00:54:31.369 didn't take those hits. That might have taken 00:54:31.369 --> 00:54:33.389 Akio out. Yeah, absolutely. But he's proven himself 00:54:33.389 --> 00:54:36.210 to be too hard to hit, and so he has to get aggressive. 00:54:37.090 --> 00:54:40.500 Okay. He will go in with his Kingspear. Just 00:54:40.500 --> 00:54:43.159 flies in. I love the idea of Jean just gets super 00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:47.239 defensive. Get away from my friend! Sliding towards 00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:50.659 them, Akio's pained cries driving him forward. 00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:56.880 Do you want to flank with Akio? Yes. Slides around. 00:54:57.019 --> 00:54:58.699 This thing's holding Akio. It's distracted. He 00:54:58.699 --> 00:55:00.539 slides to the back of this thing and goes to 00:55:00.539 --> 00:55:05.280 strike. 14. With flanking? With flanking. That's 00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:08.559 a miss. It's so hard you can't see anything! 00:55:13.179 --> 00:55:18.199 Same. Same. This is so, so bad. He just tries 00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:19.940 to drive him, but he moves around this thing. 00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:23.059 He went to his tail and swings it. He's just 00:55:23.059 --> 00:55:24.599 kind of just going right over it, scratching 00:55:24.599 --> 00:55:26.699 the shell, but not getting into any of the good 00:55:26.699 --> 00:55:29.039 points. He's kind of bouncing off the kite, and 00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:32.340 it's so hard. And then he would use the rest 00:55:32.340 --> 00:55:34.460 of his movement to come back around down to... 00:55:34.699 --> 00:55:36.440 Oh, hell yeah. Right here. So he tries to attack. 00:55:36.539 --> 00:55:38.820 He moves around to Akio's side, sliding up to 00:55:38.820 --> 00:55:40.519 where he knows he is, kind of moving around this 00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:42.820 creature. I think it's like Spear resting on 00:55:42.820 --> 00:55:44.659 top of it, using that to kind of gauge how to 00:55:44.659 --> 00:55:47.920 move around it. He slides up next to Akio. Spear 00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:52.519 whirls. We see our four heroes, Dresden, Jaune, 00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:55.519 Akio, and Blanche, all standing by each other, 00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:58.539 though they cannot know it. They cannot see it. 00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:06.360 And above the smoke, AG6. The armor of Ozen begins 00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:13.159 to cast another spell. Blanche, you have a choice 00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:17.099 to make. You don't know if killing these things 00:56:17.099 --> 00:56:19.820 kills the students themselves. You don't know 00:56:19.820 --> 00:56:23.260 what happens when these armors are destroyed. 00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:28.400 But you may have to kill, because this thing 00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:33.849 is certainly about to try to kill you. And we'll 00:56:33.849 --> 00:56:34.329 call it there.
