Hey everyone, just to give you an affectionate look-see into the behind the scenes that go
into Songwoven.
Did you know that beyond this very professional overlay of ours and everything that we present
ourselves with that we are held together by twine and string?
For the past two weeks we've had technical difficulties moments before the show for some
odd reason.
It's just the internet dropped twice in the last half hour.
My internet dropped twice so hey, it might be a short session today.
We'll see.
RIP.
Happy Halloween.

I'm so mad.
He weaves the Lor, he's our incredible narrator who's been helping us out these past few days
and, I'm gonna take over.
I'm the Red Musketeer.
And I'm gathered here today by my two compatriots and companions the ever so illustrious moon guardian herself it is
Jenny Sherard
It's me
It's her and then joining us we have our special guest also mod who keeps us going and not getting arrested
It is JT
So for today so for today's song song we even saw we'll wove an episode
We've got a bit of a we've got a bit of a toughy coming up a bit of a combat session
Uh, the crew had originally tim tim is gonna do my interpretive movement to this little backstory
Um, so uh upon, you know meeting their new compatriot dalmar played by the wonderful JT
um
They uh our group, uh stumbled upon vrexan, which is a city that is under siege currently by the automatons
Why is this a time?
There's a scene
I'm like, why are we winding? What are we winding? Um
Under of which there's currently a blood red moon, um for context for folks tuning in today, uh
Jean-claude and cecilia know this is bad news and is typically associated with the moon shards and or forces of bad who wish to
Take them as such. Um
um last week was also a bit of a uh, a shorter session where we
Really just kind of solidified
Uh what next steps were for the team and for the group? Um
It feels like he's like a coach tim's like coaching on the sidelines
Safe, uh, I'm in the chase game. I he's doing the chiefs game. Uh
Uh, we met earth janasi who was dope. We met uh surrounded who had a a tiefling who was really into jean-claude
surprisingly, um and
Uh as long as an elven friend and then we ran into what was his name who was the um
Who was the jenny who was the uh, was he a dwarf who was the folk?
That we healed but like he he knew her name. It was kind of weird. Um
um new name
What up
Oh, it was just the folks who healed. Um
There was one folk we healed who like he had access to information that they were like, oh, uh
No, he was just like he was like
The dude I healed was all like I heard all these
Whispers and stuff when I was unconscious and then oh, they're the
The can't be near you it hurts or something right? We were like, oh no le moon shards bad bad bad
um
uh
and uh, the three told them about their discussion with um keffer the
automaton
aka dad, uh
Uh, who is someone who is supposedly protecting children on a like we're not really sure what's going on there. I can't look at him
It's a good robot
It's so far not gonna hurt him
uh, some are reconnected with his his bestie luanne who
Is the is the sunshine of our lives? Uh, but deeply could require some sleep. Um
Um, he looked so offended when you said bestie
He was taking a back. This is my face jenny. That is just my face
You did like a maybe it was a timmy. I'm just perpetually offended
Basically what um in conjunction with looking for the archmage who they believe has access to the moon shard or whatever
Just to make this blood moon stop. They're thinking we gotta get all the moon shards together or something something's gotta give
uh, they were told to they were
Told to meet keffer at the elder tree playhouse
Uh a lovely community theater we assume in the area. Uh another fight for this team in the theater
Surprise surprise
And uh, that's kind of they're kind of scouting out
uh heading towards their trying to pick up any civilians or
Um non-threatening automatons who might need help along the way
uh
And at the end of the session we had a moment where?
Was it mare?
Oh also mare that I think we told I think someone informed us that maro was in the vicinity and we told everyone like
Don't fuck with maro. He's just he's please don't and he's been killing automatons and people question
Yep
Yeah, and people great cool. So he needs to be stopped. So maro is a nightmare. Um
Perfect in time for halloween
So there's that and they know he always shows up on halloween
He always shows up on halloween
So they have to tackle maro, um
As they're heading on their way like so basically there's a lot going on
They want to see if they can find the archmage to get the moon shard
But also want to take care of maro if they run across him also get to the elder tree playhouse to see if they can save
Any supposed you know people that are in hiding or who need safety and also at the very very end of the episode
After we assume maro, we're not sure not confirmed. I think it is maro. I think it wasn't maro
I think it was an automaton
automaton shot another automaton, right
One automaton shot another automaton and that automaton was like yo, where's silvie at which is stressful
Silvie, um because as tim had hinted earlier on
Um the automaton some of the automatoms are infected by
Spirits of the past past spirits or whatnot
um what that means for our traveling trio today, who knows but i've got my
Combat and all my shit pulled up just in case
That's it pull up pages from my magic items
I would say pull up your magic items
The moon shards
Um said something about trying to feel
Oh, right when my turn to feel cilia lied to john clod
Yeah, I rolled a nat 20. I rolled a nat 20 deception and I also rolled a tide deception last game because i'm just great
So cecilia used the power of the moon shards again, and they were speaking to her cryptically
You gotta stop using the moon shards
You gotta stop
We but um, they came
Correct me if i'm wrong jenny they were speaking in like your mom's voice
No, they were speaking as a voice. I never heard and it kept like shifting
And they were like they're like you this is dangerous. The moon is dangerous. Be careful
Get us back our our sibling because mom's crying
And stuff and the moon shards and then it was like it was like, um, then I started hearing whispers from my dad
And I realized
And I realized that that was probably madness
So I stopped paying attention to it and then the moon shards tried to hurt me
Seemingly or tried to like, you know do the thing like when it's like when i'm using the moon shards
And then they're like I want to feel or something and I like put them away really fast
No
Thank you. There's too much going on and then they're fucking waffle house in the midst of all this
That is our rendezvous
The other group is the house of waffles
You will respect jerry panister and john go
Did you know that um waffle houses they're actually going on strike soon for better working conditions because nice it's so dangerous
They're taught how to fight
I don't fucking fight for that which is the ones i've gone to the food has been really good
But oh boy, are they not in good location?
Story on reddit was like my my boyfriend will not stop fighting the cook at waffle house
It's like it's like they keep going to the waffle house
So the boyfriend can keep fighting the cook. They have a rivalry going on and they always fight
Um
What that said
Join us for this special
Halloween is not going to be
Going to be more of more of the same thing, but join us for the special
Halloween session
The fuck was that
The fuck was that unnatural sound that didn't come out of he starts playing haunted halloween house music
I was gonna say are we in a circus now? Could you imagine?
What's gonna be is that a robot is that
You gotta cover some light so we can see it
It's or is that aphiis baby, he made an aphiis
Put it in front of you timmy so that we can see it better
What's up, bitch
I want an aphiis puppet
I
Six hours
Perfect I love him. Can you take a picture so we can put on our social?
Ready but then you broke it's okay. It's okay. This is perfect. Oh, okay. It's not like you're live or anything
I'm so glad we're bringing puppetry to our stream now. This is a whole new level
I love you. I'm so glad you're doing a thing where you don't move your mouth, but you talk
Aphiis now has to make an appearance every
Was that aphiis has you can't get rid of aphiis puppet aphiis puppet needs to live forever on in our street
Yep
Oh my why is emma too loud you said about me
I achieved a new level
It's just for you
She does that a lot I do I do oh my why I do it makes a podcast listeners cry
Let's start this next session of
Motherfucking my expedition. All right, if it's time to put you back in the bag. No, wait
I will be right back because the dog needs to go outside that i'm watching. All right, we got a vamp now
Um
Vampires would you be bit by one if you if you had the chance?
Listen, i'm a i'm a oh, absolutely
Would I be bit see I was more a werewolf scout growing up like I wanted to be a werewolf not a vampire
I'm a vampire. Although I do have to finish watching castle lady nocturne. It's dope as fuck
If me the vampire and I can tell you why you don't have to suck blood
The vitamins and nutrients you get from blood are found in coconut juice
Also, I hate coconut
Wait, wait, can I make a vampire who just sips on my ties and pina coladas?
You know, like rather than like poking the hole in the coconut they just teeth
All right, everyone
Let's do this
We began
In the middle
Of starfall square rising up
Uh, we are point our views are pointed towards the ground
A lone teddy bear sits among the debris the abandoned wagons
The discarded metal bodies of multiple automatons
S
St
And then we transition our way all the way over to our lovely trio
So trio
Um, you begin to trek your way, uh down these very crowded streets of um
These are very these very crowded streets crowded by all kinds of machinations that to use on claude and
Uh and to use cecilia
um
Things that you have never seen before or you've never even read in books before
um
You see a uh, you see these you see these very big like metal carriages
Um that don't have wheels
Seemingly like uh being carried by some kind of like metal
Um some some metal like pipe or something
um
Just just going just supposedly going on in the middle of the road. It's stopped by this point
But you're not sure what those what those are for they have benches and such inside of them. There are these
these metallic horses that are um stiff and laying on their side, um, and just
Stron about the uh, uh just drawn about the streets
um
For you jon claude, this is nothing that you've ever imagined
um
Not in your time not in your time and definitely not now
so
So much metal so much
So much of what was once so much like of what was once clean but this this new like
Like type of structures type of everything. It's completely alien to you
um
You growing up in the woods
Yeah, that's wild. I think he's like just taking it all in
Hmm
Says no doubt this would be a much livelier place if it wasn't for the everything else going on at the moment
The blood red moon hanging in the sky
the stark darkness
That hangs around you
um
And it genuinely feels like and this is especially the case for you jon claude
That someone is watching you
Like father of scarecrows. It's just a feeling
It's just a feeling of
You know being watched you've had it multiple times, you know walking in the darkness
You know walking in the darkness all by yourself
But jon claude ever since the father of scarecrows ever since the uncanny has entered the domains of your mind you
Can't help but feel that that feeling is intensified somehow
So as you as we walk through these narrow streets as you are
Uh surrounded by boutiques to your left and right. Um, can everyone please give me a perception check?
It's feeling very last of us right now
I see now i'm gonna have to keep checking for the 20
I'm gonna have to keep checking for the dog. I rolled a 14. My passive is 22
I'm looking at my attentive feet real quick
Um, I can only be surprised if i'm unconscious
I'm just
A creature attacking doesn't gain a bench for being hidden. Okay. Well, that's all I got
That's just that's it though. Okay, so perception
Whatever that says because I can't read 10. Oh, yeah, he's freaked out but he's yeah
all right, so
Delmar you've been keeping close to the map, but you've been keeping your eye out as well
um
Right now you are currently within um
You you're you're currently approaching the uh, the imperial boulevard
um
Past that is going to be the clockwork quarters, which is where the elter tree playhouse is going to be
now, um looking at where lee has advanced on the map, you know that you're you're about to approach the place where
No one else has explored
Um, but as you're approaching the imperial boulevard, which you know to be basically a fancy place
Where multiple people go and shop there's a promenade
Um and just like it's it's generally very nice place. You've definitely walked there a few times
um
As you are regaled with house of waffles lore, um
You uh as you approach there you begin to see the multiple bookstores, uh
uh dress shops
Windows and windows and such have been broken glass shards privy the streets. It looked like a riot has gone through here
um
books are laid out onto the uh, some books have fell out of the front of the front displays and are
Strolling out about the street and there you see a round
uh robot a cobbler model one of looks like um
Like charlie looks exactly like charlie
Is it charlie dead on the ground?
A perfect a perfectly circular hole
um
It looks like charlie but it's just a charlie's oh justice for charlie
Is that a charlie? It's not charlie
Oh my
Hmm charlie too charlie too died the bell is creepy as fuck
yeah
The first time we heard the bells i'm like
That scared me spooky the hours are passing so fast
I'm like we're like I guess time does not exist anymore
Um, well, this is the philosophy episode so time is merely a social construct
You um, cecilia, uh, jean claude, I will describe more to you, but all of this is
um fairly normal to dalmar because this is a
even though this is a uh, this is an
and this is an occasion to be perceptive to your surroundings there is also
There's also like some sense of wonder explore exploration to this
um
Cecilia you do pass a dress shop, um, when you uh, not a dress shop a uh, a seamstress, uh place
Called the uh, the uh called the uh, the cop um, the cop bearer's charge
Um
And before you uh, you see these like very like um
Very large like dresses with I forgot what they're called. I I watched a bunch of burtadette better
Uh, not better. Uh
Yes banner. Yes banner. You got it right. Yes better. Not peters
He was he always gets confused with bernadette peters and bernadette banner. I was like bernadette peters is a whole other vibe
Um
you see these like
Lavish like dresses with like these fluffy sort of like bottom halves. I forgot what they're called again
um
Petty skirts petticoats petticoats. Yeah petticoats petticoats
Yes with these like larger than life petticoats like just displayed proudly on the on the front
um
one of them is dazzled with like a
Like a mixture of like expertly woven like purple and purple and red dye that shows this like dazzling
display of colors
um
It's one of the only stores
uh in this current world that there is no like
There's no there's no um
It's not broken doesn't seem to have been touched
um the doors
Finally hasn't been broken into
um that goes that goes on for some of the some of the stores, but uh
Yeah
Um for you dalmar with your natural with your natural 20
Uh perception check
Um, i'm going to let you keep that and i'll let you know whenever it applies. It's going to be a constant active check
Okay, don't waste the the crit
Charlie
Charlie is dead emma no, he's not
Not no one said he was dead was he ever alive yes, he is he's a good boy
Making your way towards the imperian of boulevard
You see, uh, you approach a wide like central area
um
Where these two-tiered like boutiques and shops line the surrounding area?
Yeah, um the roofs take on this colorful
yellow purple
Of like interchanging color
um
And in the very middle you see multiple
um multiple like metal animals
Go to horse
um
there's even like a lizard a bear colored and
everything
Possibly to made to appeal to children
um all sat in like
uh, different in different positions all sit in like, um
All sitting on like different like uh different circle lines, um in the direct middle of this place
um
now dalmar you once knew that this is a place where children could go to and
uh, the the animals would
Follow these lines and um children would ride them
Um
The magic might be gone though, you're not entirely sure
If anyone's curious about exploring any of these parts so I can stop talking go ahead
I
Oh go for jenny. I have to say
I will ask you
Do you know why some of the buildings are a wreck but some of them just look like they haven't been touched?
It's a mix of stores that were left open
During the parade stores that were closed
stores that would
Have supplies in them that we would need now
And stores that wouldn't
That seems to shop for example
That's a luxury that we no longer need so we haven't touched the building
All the general stores all the
Apothecaries all that those are the stores that are most damaged
That makes sense. I just didn't know if it was because
Maybe they were using some of them, but
That makes sense
While they're talking can I go approach the metal animals in this in the circle? All right
You uh you approach the metal animals, um
They're cute
Uh when you approach them, give me an arcana check
That's funny
Uh with john claude a doubtful
Our car for john claude is going to be uh, oh Jesus christ a 19 that is unlike him
I don't know how he knows this. I have no fucking clue
Um as you um as you approach um, something feels different something
There's a miasma that's been hanging over this place a sort of dread
but as you walk closer something sort of like
Whittles away at the surrounding
smog that encroaches you you feel
A light bit of magic
coming from this um
Coming from these metal animals and the circles that they are latched upon
Interesting
Can I like
They're in a circle, right?
Yeah
Can I try to like I don't know put my hand on one or like see if anything happens if I try to like move it
or something
As you place your hand on it
You see that
um
All of a sudden the circle lights up. Um a bright blue light, uh takes on
Uh, a bright blue light takes on the entirety of the circle
um, you see that the um
You see that the goat that you touch it that the eyes light up and it goes bad and it begins to
Moves gently is swaying up and down
um
I think john claude jumps out of his skin at the fact of it's like
Uh, it's just bumping or any else of the moving or it's it's just this one. It's just this one
It's moving up and down and moving along the circle. Um going around like a merry-go-round
What
This is
So cool, but also
What?
Uh, like he's just very overwhelmed by like the metal boxes hanging or like the stuff that's on wheels and and and there's like
Like it smells like oil everywhere and there's that it's just like
wild, um
So I think he's gonna go around and touch every single animal in the circle because he wants to get them all moving
They all they all make their respective animal sounds that are with them, uh, the horse goes bad the lizard it goes
The horse goes bad
John claude's like the lizard goes what?
He said
I
It's like, you know when little babies have little animal spin dial they spin and it lands on animal makes a sound
I did not hear the lizard goes wow
I did not hear horse goes by until jenny repeated it back to me
You did say that you'd say horse goes back. I did I I heard it now
I'm like I feel it now and I didn't repeat it emma did
Timmy you good
Today's episode of song woven will be 20 minutes today
The real horrific thing is that timmy's gonna have to try to fight us in a theater again and
It's not a good track record so far. Not if I can get my animal companions to join us
Um, but as you touch each of the animal and they all make their respective sounds which I won't say anymore
It's gonna take more than three hours to do the puzzle we were literally talking about puzzles and games right before the stream started
And how timmy should no longer include riddles in his games for that reason he doesn't
And he never should and after the incident
The
Rolling a pillar across the traps
Here's another horse puzzle the horse goes by what is that the correct sound
John clad's like I don't know
So as you touched the
Motherfucking animals and they all make correct sounds because someone did it right and it wasn't me. I wasn't in charge of it
Um
You see the circle begins to light up. Um
a red blue yellow
Circles bright colors expound
throughout the area as these
all these
metallic
Animals that you assume with the structure of how the major is supposed to sit on them
um
Are just moving in circles while swaying up and down gently are we
allowed to sit on them
Hypothetically speaking good an eight foot three. That's the thing. That's what i'm thinking of
Um, is he just good? You want to try
Make a strength check if she gets below a 10 it collapses
Do you want to try
I think
It's if is anyone watching him or the others like you're looking at the shops and like oh delmar's noticed at this point
I can't get on if they're watching me then
Um
He just gives the horse a pat
What's that?
I think you see him going to get on sees that you guys are watching and then steps away and just like looks like
He's observing like all right. Nothing suspicious here
What is it? I mean they're animals but it is a contraption of salt
It's a meant to children's toys. Oh no, not meant to trap children
No
The children ride on them
I have to remind myself that cecilia is looking up to the highest point and down to the lowest point with these conversations
Whenever they're going back and forth
Right as I said they are for children to ride
Yes
children
specific children children
Oh, but not to like trap them like you said or
I meant like babysitting kind of you know
Oh, so like they don't
Run away. Yes
Yes
What?
Are you feeling okay down?
We are sneaking through an area with hostile
Automatons and you turned on the noisiest ones in the entire city. Wait, these are automatons
Wait, if they are automatons, then maybe they have you know, such as men
Mr sheep
What does it mean? Should I catch speak with enemies?
No
What if they are trapped in this endless circle, what does the lizard say?
Because no one knows what noise a lizard makes
Look I suggest we move out of here before something comes to investigate it
What?
Okay
Absolutely right, Demar
The Raven Woods
What's an astute observation
Hmm
I feel like if we were, this is a video game, it would be a lot more creepier, but it's just not
It would have been creepier if you hadn't turned them all on
You don't see random merry-go-rounds in Silent Hill
Yes, you do yes you do
You do?
Yes you do
Yes, yes in multiple games
That hill 4 has the worst one
Oh
Anyway, I've had my fun of playing with the animals
That 4-3
Yeah, Cecilia you see the the circling animals and they have how they sway up and down
The horse has a saddle on it
But every other one has just an indent in the middle of it
Just for someone to sit on only the horse seems like it has something that you can actually like the saddle that's meant for
mounting it
Like Brooke
Like Brooke?
You mean like Jane?
The bell is turned
He's already embarrassed
One second the dog was playing with a ball, but she accidentally rolled it under something so I'm gonna go get it for her so she's not bored
She's looking at me like please
The dog goes meow
Wait wait wait, John Claude make a con save and throw
Wait literally?
Yeah
What?
Oh boy
What for turning on the animals?
Am I gonna get run over?
Oh gosh how could I forget?
Am I gonna get run over by these fucking animals?
I always laugh so hard
If I got run over by these animals
Con is 14
Yeah you withhold a sneeze
I was just vamping until Jenny came back
Hi Dragmire
Where in the city is spooky
Once upon a witchlight hour the city
Oooh
Through grand halls past lock and key came to her slumber
Dreams of three
The first brought laughter filled with fright
The second love defiled by spite
The third a world of pure delight
Who's who is the question?
The second one
Oh no I'm defiled
You said that with too much
Too much confidence
I am defiled
I'm the most defiled person
I was gonna say so I guess before
John Claude gets the multi-pecade
We continue on
Yeah
As we as you continue on
Dalmar
You know
You know a place that's coming up
A place of interest to you specifically
A coffee shop
That sells little pastries and coffee
Which might be pertinent to you
In particular because someone
Has run out of coffee
Within camp
Yeah
Yeah she has
Oh Luann
Um
Making way further
Down the streets
You hear um
You uh
As you're approaching the um the three Graces
Which is a coffee shop
Ran by three halflings named Grace
Um
I hate this one
I love it
I was expecting like a Starbucks pun there so I'm all for it
Um
Moon dollars
No
No definitely not anything with the moon right now
Go with the moon
Um
You hear a slight
Um a slight shuffle
In the distance Dalmar
You specifically
Uh it's coming from within the coffee place
Um
Any shifting sound
Having many
Having made many adventures in here
You'll learn that a shifting
Any kind of sound like that can just be
It's it is a 50-50
Of if it's either
A sound of a roaming
Automaton or
Or it could just be things settling around
Things have been thrown around
A good bit here
Yeah
He's gonna want to investigate
Cause even if it's a roaming
Automaton
If it's a smaller one
Taking it out is still beneficial
Jenny makes a face
What also Dragmire
What is this lore in the chat
What is happening
What is doing
What is happening
What is doing buddy
Little
Weapon in his spire
Did Tim put you up to this
No
He would
I said that like I did it and I'm lying
But no I didn't
Um
No
I love when people
Put stuff in the chat I love it
Him paid me
Dragmire says
Him paid me
Dragmire
How did you get Tim to pay you
I'm paying him
JT I have something to admit
You are paying Dragmire technically
Dragmire huh that's a guy with a good heart
Put the skull back
I love aphiace
I've got to take him out later
Maybe I'll do it on the way
Take him out later
Spooky stuff in the coffee shop got it
Sing bells
Sing the bells bells
Bells bells bells bells bells
Bells
Of the tribe
What's the plan of action here
He's gonna motion
Cecilia and Jean Claude behind him
And like up against the wall
As he's going to like very slowly
Push the front door of the coffee shop open
With the pickaxe in his other hand
Ready to swing if something jumps him
The two most quietest people
In full play
Click on over
Now I won't say that these
Buildings are
I will say that these buildings are all
Inter connected
With one another they're all like
They're just straight rows
Of buildings
As you're walking into the coffee shop
There are doors
On each side of the wall that lead to like
The different stores it's like adjoining rooms
Except for shops
In this place
As you walk in everyone please
Make stealth checks
Let's go baby
I hate it
This is what they made for us
Okay wait disadvantage
Stop
Five
Two ten
Did he said
Advantage or I rolled twice
I'll do the first one
Twelve
You rolled as advantage because you have heavy armor
Yep so that's gonna be a twelve
Baby
Oh you have a twelve I see a twelve
Yeah scroll up
Twelve twelve okay
Yes that is a twelve
Well this
Well this makes it easy
As
Dalmar as soon as you mention
As you gesture for them to move quietly behind you
You open the door
And immediately
You are greeted with the loudest
Creek of a door ever
Followed by you walking in
And you hear clank clank clank clank
Behind you
Quiet to see ya
Oh I don't know how to
Get this to stop
As you open the door even further a bell
Rings
Oh fuck
She's
Shut the fuck up Bell
Dalmar's head just drops
Drops
And just shakes his head like
Probably trip over the doorway too
With the bell rings
She's really clumsy
She has negative dex
So
As a reckless bull
Quietly tries to walk into
The shop
Um
You hear the shifting
And scavenging stop
As you all look
As you all look around as a sudden
Quiet overtakes
The area
You are greeted with the slight
Smell of
Coffee
Not brewed mind you
That has a stronger warmer smell
But um
It seems like this store has kept its
Uh
Premiering coffee smell intact for the most part
It has gotten much lighter
Uh little rows
Of almond pastries
And bear claws line the
Lined the shelves
A week and a half old
Um
And as
The silence takes
Everyone for a moment
As you all are looking around
The store
And it's neatly
Uh it's pushed in chairs and tables
You see all of a sudden standing straight up
Adjacent is
A bot that looks much like K4
Um
Looking towards
All of you with one glowing eye
Um it's flickering between
An orange and a yellow color
Uh
Don't
Please
It's okay
Don't hurt me
We're not here to hurt you
We won't hurt you
We're here to make an order
Make an order
Order? It is a steward bot right Timmy?
It's a steward bot yes
You still have
Unground coffee beans
In stock
You see um
You see it suddenly goes
Uh it suddenly goes
Rigid as its head tilts for a moment
The other eye flickers on
A blue for a moment
And it just goes
Yes we do
From Casca
Says freshly imported
The best around
And I have three bags please
Of course
That will be sixty gold pieces
Would you
We never decided how much gold I had
I'm guessing I don't have that much
Well what would you like the grind to be?
Course
Of course
Wink
Um
It winks in the form of the light
Going on and off
Um
Uh
Pardon me uh are you okay?
Shush shush
Don't make it think
It just
It just kind of like leans back again
And it just it it you see it reaches for
Like a scoop it was going to reach it to
Like a barrel
Reach it to a barrel of presumably coffee beans
And when you ask are you okay
It stops
And looks towards you
Uh Jean Claude
And goes
You're so big
You're not going to hurt me right?
No
Of course not
I want to help
Looks at Dalmar
You've hurt us
Before
I'm not one of the bad ones
I'm not going to hurt you
Please
I have a family
They're very hungry
He's going to make
A show of storing
His pickaxe away
And just putting his hands up
I'm not going to hurt you
I just would like the
Coffee beans please
Make a
Persuasion check
Oh boy
That is a 19
Thank god
Prepare the 60 gold pieces
For transaction please
Ah if possible
Would you be able to charge it to the account
Of director Lafaire
This is a supply run for her office
Certainly
Says the grand esteemed
Lafaire
Yes
Didn't even make me roll for it
Riding on your 19 buddy
Yeah
Cause I don't have any
I technically have no money on my character sheet
He grabs three bags
And these three nice hefty bags of
Costco beans
Which are
Which are high quality beans
And puts it out in front of him
Thank you
No, thank you
And then looks to
Looks to Cecilia for a moment
Hi, is there anything I can help you with
Um
Um, I'm just
With him
Did you say something?
Oh
Um
That's okay
Maybe
Well is that
All we need
It is
What did it say? Please help
Yeah, to Cecilia
What's wrong?
Can you follow me?
Only
Where? Only you
Look
The eyes shift towards Dalmar and Jean-Claude
You look like you can help
Help with what?
My family
They are hurt
Robot
Um
Where are they?
In the basement
That's not very far
She says to them
Jean-Claude is giving her the stranger danger look
Like
What the fuck
Why don't you? I can hear too
He can
So
I can tag along to help out
Make a persuasion check please
I'm not letting her go alone
I did say he can
Is that helping?
I know
I was just stretching
Persuasion is a
Dirty twenty
It
It registers
For a moment
And it goes
Okay
Please
Be careful
You might scare
The children
Sounds good
It turns around and walks
Towards like
There's a door in the
Behind the counter
And he opens it
Looks to Cecilia and Jean-Claude
And goes
Follow me
And walks
Downward and walks into the door
If you do
Scream I will run down
There
And destroy that thing before it has a
Chance to do anything
Be careful
We'll be alright
I will stay here and make sure nothing else enters
If you see
Mellow
You scream and we
Will be up here to make sure it does not come near you
In any way shape or form
Or maybe run towards us
That's actually the better option
Get away
I've dealt with him once
I'd like not to deal with him again
So
We will keep the door open
So you can hear, we can hear you and you can hear us
Be quick
Come on CC
As you
Make your way
Inside
Past the
There's a kitchen area where things have been
It seems like it's been scavenged
Pants and paws are pushed aside
Some have fallen to the ground
Space has been looked over
You see that he
Approaches a
He approaches a
He approaches like a cellar, a large cellar door
And he just
Reaches down and opens it
Uhhhh
I'm sorry the dog lost her ball
Again and she's crying
I can't watch her cry, I'm sorry
This is actually like
My night, like what if
He tries to trap us in the cellar
Oh
Oh no
I've seen way too many horror movies of people getting kidnapped
Oh no
Yeah
Good thing I don't kidnap players
Kidnap
Well I was saying to Jenny when he left I was like
What if he just shuts the cellar door on us
Because I've watched too many horror movies of getting kidnapped
Remember the haunted house
Where I thought Jaime and Stellar got turned
Into dolls
When I was in the basement
And JJ, we got JJ
We got JJ
Um as the two of you are
As he opens up the cellar door
He looks um
He looks behind and he just goes
First
What are your names?
Cecilia
What is your name?
I'm
Kirkosh
What?
My name
It's Kirkosh
Are you
Or should it be
But some can call me Dominic
Adaro?
Um
How do you know those names?
These are the names that are simply coming to me
But you can call me whatever you wish
Who are your family?
Come meet them
But who are they?
Yes, he walks out
As you ask who are they
That's when he stops
And his light like blinks
And he turns
His light blinks for a moment
And they become completely dark
As he just lurches over
Almost as he's just turned off
John Claude didn't give his name
Because he was getting fey vibes
Can't explain it but he was
So if he's off
He's off or he looks off right now
You said
Um John Claude will look to Cecilia
And go I think we are dealing with
Things far beyond
Uh means
But
We must find out
And he's going to open the latch
In the ground
As you open it
I have a loving family
Delmyra
My eldest daughter
And
Seal
My youngest
And I have a beautiful wife
Named
Maple
And he begins to walk down
What's another set of stairs?
Um he's walking through the
Latch I mean
It's a staircase that leads downwards
You see that
It is a completely dark room
I don't have dark vision
You do when I share it with you
Tada
And now you can see brightly
Um
It's like night vision goggles
She just puts a hand on you
And then all of a sudden you can see again
Hey, I thought you could do that
Can I just say real quick that backdrop
Behind Jenny is gorgeous
There's a link back there somewhere
Oh my why go
This is the perfect time to split the party
Oh god
Is there a way I can make sure this latch isn't closed
Behind us because
This is not John Claude's fear, this is Emma's fear
You're the one
You're the one in the back
You're literally fitting your shoulders through the
Um the entryway
Um yeah it's
It doesn't seem to lock
Okay
Um as you make your way down
Um
Not yet
Uh
Not yet? What do you mean not yet?
Not yet what? The Barlius
You see the
You see the Otamaton who goes by many names
Um begins to
Ffff
Uh light a
Uh light a match and you see
It on his like shoulder
Um K4
Oh
Same
Possibly same model
Oh but it's not the same one that we know
Model
Got it
Um it picks up a tinner box on the ground
And it begins to light a match
But you guys already see it
The as you make your way down
Into the storage room of this place
Um as he's lighting up the uh
As he's lighting up a small match
To put to the flames
Your dark vision already gives sight
To what's in the room
Dotted throughout the room
Are mangled piles
Of
Robotic
Parts
Um
Heads
Heads arms
Legs the body all
Thrown about
Into different piles
Um
In these large
Gigantic jumbled piles
All through um that are
List throughout the entirety of the room
Um this seems like a hoarders collection
And then he
Ffff
Likes it
Um
And he just goes
This is my family
Kids
Say hi
Aren't they great?
They're not doing very well
I need you to help them
Um
He begins to walk
To the end of the room
Avoiding piles
Sorry Roger
Excuse me
Uh uh
Is it like a I don't know
I don't know if Jean Claude would know how to
Put a robot together
Um can he try to?
Is it like a doll?
Like is it like a doll like you can put the pieces?
You
Um you look through
Um give me an investigation check
Real quick
Uh investigation is going
Be
18 wow I'm rolling high
Which makes me worry about the end of this session
I know
You pick up a few of the pieces
Looking at a few of the heads
And you see that some of them have like
Deep scratch marks
On them as if they were all like
Viciously maimed
Um
And um you can tell
Which one goes with which
There's not much variation in models
Here but
You see that um
Like a lot of the stuff's been
A lot of the stuff's been cut up
Um inner parts that you can
You can assume to be core parts
Of the automatons are just completely destroyed
Um
It seems like uh
Kids had a tumble on the playground
Uh do you know where they
Got these from? These
These uh scratches?
Oh they just fell
They just fell
It's okay
Just uh he just goes
Um
People like that dwarf up there
They're a little mean sometimes
Maybe
It's okay
I always take care of my family
Is that not what people live for?
For their family?
For their friends?
They give their life
For them don't they?
Maybe we can give
A blessing
Maybe we could say like
Some sort of blessing and
Then they'll recover from
The falling maybe?
Um
It's like
A prayer
Prayer
Who is that for?
What does that do?
It's
Some people think it's
For the gods but sometimes
I think it's kind of more for us
Gods?
My goddess is
Saloon
The goddess of the moon
Mmhmm
What is
What is that?
Can I kill it?
I don't know
It's
It's normally
Normally
Dumb or make a perception check
I figured that was coming
Another
today. Damar's just like on high alert the entire time. He's like these two idiots.
Yeah, these two idiots I gotta be ready for anything. Damar...
is slight
rumble, the slightest of rumbles in the distance.
But you learn that every rumble is
purposeful. There is a reason in this place and not only that, you know that light rumble is like that.
They are meant to be feared.
It's the greatest. You need to hide.
You need to get away from the windows right now.
Yeah, he's gonna
hurdle the counter,
get into the cellar door and shut it behind him.
Is that a bad time to play before the parade passes by?
Hello, Dolly!
As you rush your way into the kitchen,
you see it just before you dodge out of the side as you see a red light
passes over the area and you just in time get out of the doorway before the red light touches you.
Knowing what that's attached to. It's a parade master, isn't it?
You make your way towards the cellar door which was open and you just close it. Cecilia, Jean-Claude, you're at next to that. You hear that.
I think Jean-Claude jumps a little and goes, uh, everything okay up there?
No.
Okay.
We're staying here. Oh.
We are not to go up there for at least a couple minutes.
Okay, okay.
How about in the meantime, I take out this book on
theology from playback.
What is she doing?
We are keeping it calm and we are reading stories and it indicates the fucking like, you know broken robots to children.
Yeah, you see that.
You all turn to the bot,
to the automaton, and you see now that he has grabbed a fire poker from the side of the fireplace.
And he's just wielding it.
Okay.
Easy, buddy. What's going on?
Why did the gods put me here?
So that I can, what?
Live a life that's not my own?
I'm not a very religious person, so I tend to not think too much about that.
Do you know how to read?
I can read the menu if you desire.
Yes, please. What is your special today?
My special is
no more.
Don't do that again.
I
um
I really do have a book about different gods and things if that's the thing you're interested in.
But people kind of think different things about everything, you know, so
this is just one person's opinion.
I don't know why the gods put anyone anywhere.
Gods are fickle.
I want to kill one.
Why?
Because it makes everything end.
I don't think that would.
Do you want everything to end?
It's steps closer to you.
It's footsteps are not much heavier than it was now.
We're not here to hurt you.
We're not here to fight.
We are here to help.
And we are not gods.
No will we ever be.
And we are not gods. No will we ever be.
Persuasion check.
22. Okay, I'm scared that we're rolling so high right now, guys. I'm scared.
Don't question it. Just praise the gods.
Why can you have families?
And I can't.
You get to make your own choices. You get to love. And I can't.
That's not fair.
Also, some family is chosen.
Some family is found.
I adopted my son, Charles.
Yes, she's a teen mom.
Sometimes.
Fuck that guy.
Sometimes family are the ones who treat you the worst.
Having one is not always a blessing.
Jesus.
I think Jean-Claude does a double take.
Dalmar's speaking his truth on that.
I know.
Are you my family?
We can be.
We should probably get to know each other a bit more first though.
Sediment falls off of the ceiling as dust shaken off the walls as a loud sound ruptures and shakes the room.
I watch Dalmar go, you're gassed?
He will motion for them to be caught.
You see that the bot immediately just straightens up and just goes to her corner immediately and just sits there.
As you hear heavy breathing.
Breathing?
That's not a robot.
You hear the swatting as furniture and such is thrown about, loud crashing sounds above.
And then after a while, as you're all remaining quiet, you hear a frustrated roar.
A disgurru mechanical roar.
As you feel this sound in the distance begin to go away.
It's still Dalmar.
It's a watchman.
What the fuck?
That is what we are trying to avoid.
Why we are trying not to make noise.
Looking at Sean Claude.
Sean Claude, his eyes are like really wide as he takes into full account what they're dealing with.
He goes, right.
Oh, and then his head tilts.
And he looks at the claw marks in all the different robots and goes, was it and points up to above that?
And Dalmar just nods.
Because that's all that needs to be said.
So they attack anyone?
The watchmen were incomplete prototypes when everything went wrong.
They were supposed to act as protectors, as guards, as keepers of the city and their programming was unfinished.
They see anything as a threat right now.
And they will rip and they will shred and kill anything that they catch their eyes on.
Does it matter if it is flesh or metal?
It matters not.
Steward bots, cobbler bots, I've even seen some of the long arms. It does not matter if they are not a watchman.
It will tear them apart.
I think at this point, John Claude will walk over to the K4 model.
And he's going to very slowly see if it will let him put his hand on its shoulder.
Stiffens.
But it doesn't say anything.
We will make this a safe place for your family, whoever and wherever they may be.
It turns to you.
Is it crying?
It makes the sound of crying.
It body doesn't move, there's no tears, but it just gets completely still and it's making the sound.
I think John Claude doesn't really know, but he's going to reach in his pocket for a handkerchief anyway and goes, there, dry your tears.
Who is Sylvie?
Oh boy, he's been really friendly and very understanding.
Even with the Kirkosh name drop, that one hits a little close to home and he goes, that is someone I care a lot about.
I hope one day I have a Sylvie.
She is a blessing.
Much like not to Cecilia, she brought up earlier.
Blessings are not always well.
I don't wish to kill you anymore.
I'm glad.
Cecilia! Poor Cecilia's like, that's nice!
I just have to say too, the dog was laying over there with the cat and the dog rolled her ball to the cat and just watched the cat.
It was just watching and watching to see if the cat would do anything.
The cat went bang!
The cat just staring at her, glaring, and she's just like, it's your ball!
She nudged it towards him a bit more.
Oh puppies.
Need to see if she needs blood in.
So it doesn't want to kill us anymore.
A win is a win!
Jean-Claude goes, that's great. I didn't want to kill you to begin with, but feelings are mutual, my brother.
I must find more food for my family.
Just be careful out there, right?
You are not food.
Congratulations.
For this great promotional period, you will not be considered food.
Oh good, good, good. On that note, I think we need to go and help some other people.
Metal or flesh?
All the same to us. So we will be on our way.
Have a good rest of your day.
Stay safe.
I see the cat tapping on the window, but I have to look at the cat.
So many things.
Jenny is just like, I'm a nashery of animals.
That's okay, because my laptop, I have to grab my charger real quick.
Okay, I guess we're going to break. We're going to break.
We're going to break. Break time, baby.
We'll be back, everybody.
We'll be back. Woo!
And we're back. Hello, everyone.
We had a close encounter.
We almost became food.
Yeah. He was definitely going to kill them and turn them into food for the family.
Sorry, Chad, but we avoided the fight this time.
This fight. This fight.
This one.
All right. Let's see what we got going on.
So we last left off.
Let's see. It was amidst a little bit of chaos on our side.
But you were given...
You were confessed to by K4, basically him admitting that, yeah, he was going to kill you guys with a little fire poker of his.
But thankfully, that didn't happen.
We love that for us.
And now you're dealing with some kind of ravaging beast, a watchman.
Dinosaur?
Told you by Dalmar.
And that seems to be what's in the cards at the moment.
Dalmar, as you approach the cellar door,
you don't hear any... you don't hear any sound.
It seems to be safe.
As you push the... as you push the cellar door open,
nothing.
And you walk out.
It seems to be clear.
As the others, I assume, follow you out, right?
Yeah, get us the fuck out of this basement.
You all walk into the room to see that the place has been completely leveled.
The wooden furniture has been completely splintered, reduced to splinters,
of legs, of tables, and parts of chairs are just completely thrown about.
Anything glass has been completely shattered on the ground everywhere.
This place has been... in the short amount of time that you heard the crashing,
it's like a hurricane just swept through the place.
These watchmen suck.
Yeah, they're not good.
There's a reason they were unfinished.
But this is what they do.
It must have detected some sign of there being activity here,
and so it leveled the place looking for anyone.
You can't push the bed.
They're just big bullies, unlike this dog that has appeared out of nowhere.
The cat is being mean to her, and she's scared, so she's in my lap.
She just climbed fully up.
Oh, puppy.
As you carefully maneuver your way out of the door...
Damar, I want you to be the only one to do this and make a perception check for me.
That is an 11.
Oh, no.
Okay.
As soon as you take steps out of the door and look around,
there are signs of the watchmen, small craters pounding...
Small craters decorate now the once better-looking central area that you were in.
You see, it's taking out chunks of the building where it's latched onto and leapt about.
These things are gigantic, like, mecha-gorillas.
They are not to be messed with.
And as far as you know, you nor any adventurer or any part of the group, Lee, no one,
has managed to take down a watchman.
They are terrible.
That's how bad they are.
You've killed many by now.
Oh, you've been killed any of them?
Great! Good. Do we know this? Probably not.
Damar, you know that these were bots created by an engineer from an empire far away
whom you know, a brand Rick calls, Carmia.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, what?
Sounds like a dick.
These bots were made for war.
They were made, like, tanks were made for war.
No, just Carmia.
Does that mean anything to you?
Yes.
Oh, is that Vivian's mom?
It's my mom!
Oh, no!
In another game.
Oh, no!
Or my grandma, maybe.
Maybe, but who knows?
It's unrelated. Spelled different.
Well, yeah, how's it spelled for my notes?
C-A-R-M-I-A.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
H?
No, Carmaha.
Okay.
As you are taking in the scenery, does an 11 hit you?
No.
A crossbow bolt hits like, you're just standing there, you didn't even make an attempt to dodge, it just goes far.
It just goes far astride.
As you see from the top, one of those round cobbler bots, like Charlie, is aiming a crossbow down at you.
Charlie?
No, not Charlie, Emma. Enough.
It's not Charlie.
Cobbler, cobbler bot. Just like Charlie. They're the same model.
Boom, boom, boom.
And you see its eyes red, but a perpetual red, meaning it's a little out of its mind.
As it goes, shit!
And it ducks underneath. It's on like a second floor balcony, and it ducks underneath the railing, where you can still see it, because it's not a completely solid railing, it's like multiple bars.
And you see it's like loading a crossbow.
The bot just intended to take a shot at you.
Sorry, one second, the cat.
Just the one?
You do know that Tivoli wins one, there's many more.
Do we see him getting shot at?
Definitely.
Hey, what the fuck?
It misses and goes through where the window would have been.
Hey, we are friendly. No more friendly fire. Come on.
It's not going to listen to you.
We're on the same side, buddy.
Yeah, the last one did.
Hey, come on. We just hit you head.
It will not listen to you.
We run.
It stands up and it goes, Viva la revolution!
Really?
And Jean-Claude goes, can we join?
Viva la revolution!
No!
And it will shoot you, Jean-Claude.
We wanted to join the...
Jean-Claude sings, do you hear the people sing, singing the songs of angry men?
No!
No?
Of all things Les Mis, why?
Because he led the frog revolution.
Now comes the rubble.
Yeah, we're going to revolutionize everything.
As the bolt heads downward and strikes the ground next to you, Jean-Claude, you do hear shouting in the distance.
Okay, let's run!
There will be more than one. We need to go and go quickly.
Can they sprint? Can they leave?
Yes, as you begin to turn the other way, you see that there's a stampede of like, you must believe to be 30 or 40 of them.
They're wielding spears.
No! No! No!
They're wielding spears. They're holding above their heads. They have swords and knives as they're all rolling towards you.
You see that there are some K-4 bots, service bots, like rushing behind them.
They're all just trying to throw spears, coat hangers, everything at you.
As you begin to turn, you want to throw your weapons to me?
I'm going to, you know what, take 50 points.
I hate you.
We'll see. I'll throw something later.
In the theater?
Theater adjacent.
As you all begin to run, you see that I need everyone to make an initiative roll real quick.
Because we're not fighting, but this is a chase because they are all chasing you throughout the streets right now.
21.
4.
I have minus one.
Do you hear Zippy bashing 12?
I would like to go on Jean-Claude's initiative with my blessings.
Oh, you get advantage. You get advantage.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Because you have my blessing.
Blessing.
She always blesses you with it.
23.
23. Hashtag blessed, baby.
We're going on your initiative.
Let's go.
What?
Nothing.
Alright.
And hashtag blessed.
As you are running, as you're running on these streets, as these bots are chasing you and you're outpacing them, you see that some are breaking out of the storefronts in front of you.
They have placed down.
They have placed down bear traps.
I've been thinking about it before.
I'm so pissed at bear traps.
So they don't roll beneath initiative 20, which no one did.
You see that?
They come out with bear traps and they're ready to throw it down in front of you, but you run past them and they just go, wait, one of them tries to throw it.
But then just they don't have the strength and it just drops on itself.
It just.
No.
We wish you a happy repudiation as he's running away.
You you're as you're dashing down the streets, maneuvering towards these these these heavenly boutiques and these these crowded these crowded dotted streets.
You began to see it going up towards the window crossbows in hand.
All of them shooting down towards you.
All of them have extremely terrible aim as these crossbow boats dot these crossbow boats began to just lace the streets and none of them are hitting you.
Let's see.
Can I try something for science because this seems like a lower stakes situation to test this in?
Yeah, sure.
Can I cast calm emotions?
Oh, boy. OK, yeah.
I worked before on K4.
That's why I want to see is it was only going to work on that kind of bot or is it going to work on other ones before we get to, you know, a watchman?
Roll a B100.
OK.
Do watchmen feel calm?
64.
You do not retain the supposed lot.
Nope.
For everyone at home in this state, it went to see your rolls for a spell.
She rolls at the 100 rolls over an 80.
She she retains the supposed lot.
Love that for magic.
I'm a wisdom saving throw real quick.
One moment.
14 is one below my DC with what this advantage.
OK, yeah.
So 1411.
You see that the you see that the crowd before you, they stop as you cast as you cast a spell.
When you cast this when you cast a spell, Dalmar, you feel a tingling sensation through you.
As you feel that tingling sensation through you, I need you to real quick whisper to me.
Whisper to me a D100.
What?
Wild magic.
I don't know.
What is it?
What's the command slash W?
W slash or slash W?
It's slash is for commands.
But then how do you do the D100 afterwards?
Slash GM roll.
Oh, there you go.
There you go.
Yeah.
Slash GM roll.
D100.
Which the stream gets to see because we love you guys.
Really?
That's my.
I will stop flipping back to that page.
Demi.
Dalmar.
What did she do to me?
Dalmar.
Your blood begins to run hot.
What?
You feel this sort of beast style like temptation burgeoning within you as you feel like electricity
crackle throughout your body.
As she holds as she as she casts the spell holding out her hand, shouting the verbal
component, it's all you feel like you, your soul, like your state of being gets completely
blasted away from her.
But your body is still.
You're not sure why, because you've been around magic.
You've you've been dealing.
You've been dealing with this.
And sometimes it's slightly it is slightly unpleasant, but that's it.
Here is something.
She's got wild magic.
This is you.
You you.
You're wild magic in you.
Probably.
Oh, yeah.
But still, it's reacting because you have moon shards because I cast spell as the calm
emotions were brewed throughout the street.
You see that the group of group of automatons that were chasing you just all immediately
stop.
They stop dead like they just pump the brakes.
A lot of them trip over, fall over one another, and they all just remain prone.
They they're the eyes glistening over.
The eyes are still like a bright red color, but they've all they've all stopped.
But even the ones you haven't casted it on, they all just stop as well.
Freeze.
Hello.
I guess we should keep going.
Listen, we're all full down with the bourgeoisie.
Am I right?
Good luck.
One of the Stewart bots, a K-4 bot.
And it's wielding a fire axe.
It turns towards one of the other bots in the ground.
No, it swings downwards.
And all of a sudden you see that there is a frenzy, a shouting as these bright eyed red
bots begin to like lighten up even more and they all begin to fight each other.
Oh, no.
Dalmar, you also feel a little of a frenzy coming your way.
You are stowing it away.
You have the fortitude.
Something about this moon has been driving some folks mad.
And you've been doing really well.
But right now it's been, right?
It's the worst it's ever been.
He's gonna walk over to one of the shop fronts that has like a good solid wooden wall or
a door and with his prosthetic arm, punch it as hard as he can.
Are you okay?
What the fuck?
And what they don't see is the tiny bit of electricity coming out of his arm.
Hey, you good over there, Denver?
Warning would have been nice.
I didn't have much time.
I was just, I only have so much breath when we're running.
Does that happen regularly?
Would it scare you?
To put it in an easy way to understand, with what I'm comfortable sharing, is I have a
very, very sensitivity to magic and it does not always react well.
That's good to know.
That might be a problem.
Jean-Claude looks at both of them.
The melee next to you, because they've been fighting the entire time.
Eventually as you're talking and you want to see each other, you look after a quiet
dude that's taken over the area and you only see that K-4 bot, automaton, with the fire
axe, the only one standing amongst a pile of robotic metallic bodies.
Oh, buddy.
It looks towards the three of you and even though it's heavily injured, it lurches forward.
Fire axe in hand.
As it drags its feet, it's going towards you, Cecilia.
Fire axe raised up.
I'm not going to let it get close to her.
I'm going to go axe for axe.
Okay.
You attacking?
Yeah, and you think he's going to say, time to sleep, as he swings.
Make an attack roll.
That hits.
16.
13.
You slice downwards, catching your axe within its shoulder.
Its arms immediately go limp.
You see this bot in particular, it was just like a butler.
It had a little pencil stash on it, a nice suit on, and its arms immediately just swing
to its side.
It drops the axe, and its eyes just lose its light.
Okay, let's move.
We're getting closer.
Moving on towards the Elder Tree Playhouse.
I want to catch up with people real quick.
Damar, how are you feeling at the moment?
He's still got that magic frenzy coursing through him a tiny bit.
It has not fully gone away.
But internally, he is pleased with how the expedition is going.
He expected a lot more trouble.
A lot more...
A lot more to go wrong with two outsiders coming in to something they hadn't experienced.
But he is waiting for a watchman to just walk around the corner at the wrong time.
As you're wading through the streets, Cecilia, I assume you have a lot going through your mind after what just happened.
I think less about what just happened. It's still just like the biggest thing for her is the overall situation.
Something catches everyone's attention at once.
You can see it in the distance. A large arcane...
Well, to you, it would be a large structure. A clock tower.
You see the minute and hour hands have stopped moving.
But you see inside of a large arc above the clock is a bell.
It hasn't rung yet, despite what the soundtrack says.
And Dalmar, it hasn't rung the entire time, ever since everything started happening.
But you know what that clock tower means, landmark-wise.
You're near the clockwork commons.
As you begin to make your way forward,
thoughts heavy on everyone's mind, now much more aware of the danger,
a sound strikes you all.
The sound of a baby crying.
Oh no. Where's the baby?
It cries, and then you hear it just abruptly stop.
No, no, no, no, no. Where's the baby?
Can I run in that direction?
You do? You run in that direction?
Run. Yeah, immediately.
You run in that direction. Let's see.
And as you do, you are heading towards one of the alleyways.
This is where the parts of the boulevard where things begin to wind up,
and there's actually alleyways now.
You hear a voice shushing, another female's voice shushing.
Please be quiet. Please, please, please. Please, please.
She hurried because she can, she's assumed the worst,
and she can revivify within a minute.
Oh no.
She relaxes if it sounds like there's someone there.
As you make your way into this alleyway, you see a Dwarven woman,
one of her arms is tied up, bandaged up like in a makeshift cast,
and in her other arm, she's carrying a child.
She's not carrying the child at the moment.
She has it on the ground, and she's placed a hand over the mouth.
You see the child is just telling the thrash back,
because this baby's trying to turn the thrash back because it needs to cry.
And it lets out another wail.
You see her just goes, please, please, please, please, please, please.
She goes shh, shh, and she's trying to gently rock it in her arms.
She's completely focused on her baby at the moment.
Do you need help?
You're a person.
Please.
And you see as she looks towards you, the baby starts crying, wailing.
By this point, all of you are here.
Yeah, you guys are all here.
I think Jean-Claude's going to go into uncle mode,
and he's going to go, may I? Indicating to the baby.
Gosh, persuasion check.
I know. Random giant cow man asks to hold random woman's baby.
It can go anything but well.
She's very defensively like it's understandable.
This is a scared woman.
She backs away from you, clutching the baby close.
She's trying to rock it, trying to stop it from crying.
She's trying to relax it.
But meanwhile, she's like she's gotten like very defensive,
all like worried about the eight foot three furbog in front of her.
Her eyes are filled with like absolute fear.
So 17 ain't going to cut it.
It was a 20. It needed to be a 20 or above.
At this point, Delmar, speaking dwarven instead of common,
is going to tell her there is a safe way out right now that we just came through.
If you make your way down the boulevard, straight down to where the House of Waffle
stands on the city's edge, you will be safe.
Did I hear waffle in that sentence?
What is he saying?
Okay, stop.
How can we be sure that any place is safe here?
We've been doing our best to slowly explore what's left of the city.
Our expedition, expeditions go further and further.
That area is safe. We have cleared it out.
Another expedition will be getting back there at any moment.
They can take you to our camp.
Can you lead me?
Just until I get to a safe place, I can't...
These...
Whatever these things are, they've been...
They've been attacking everyone.
I'm sure you know this.
I knew, I know. But the way back right now is clear.
Crying from the baby, another loud wail...
Okay, chocolate goes...
Okay, I don't know what you two are talking about, but I really like babies and I think I can help
and I want to keep you guys quiet, so I'm not going to...
You can trust him. He will not hurt them.
I have an idea.
Well, if you, Delmar, if you think we have time, we're doing something.
But I can create a little hut that nothing or nobody else could enter.
Nothing can go through it.
And then when we finish what we're doing, maybe we could help get you back.
Make a persuasion check.
Come on, Lee.
You could leave it at any time, but nothing else could come through.
Let me...
Let me see if this applies...
Where the heck is it?
Okay.
Let me know if this applies.
An expertise die in persuasion when trying to tell someone who is doubtful slash suspicious the truth.
That applies.
Okay.
Yeah, I think that's the only one that might apply.
Okay, so plus two to it.
Eleven.
Yikes.
I can't be left here. I need to get out of here.
If I bring out JJ.
No.
Just no.
Stopping you now.
I will not help.
Because it's a baby.
I will say that she's clutching the baby close at the moment.
The baby's like faced in towards her right now.
Can I just take the doll, kind of wave it at the mom and go,
I want to help. And if your little one is screaming,
it's going to be a lot harder to move around the city.
Alright, it's going to have to be...
It's going to have to be one more persuasion check.
She's like, who is this giant man trying to steal my child?
I don't know.
She considers it for a moment.
She's been very careful.
Sorry, Dragmire has redeemed.
I need to get a real creepy doll.
No, no, no, no.
She...
Oh gosh, the DC was 23.
Fuck yeah.
She just kind of like clutches her baby close,
but as she looks at it, she just goes,
Don't do anything else.
And the baby lets out another cry.
She goes, shh, shh, please, please, please, please, please.
Looking towards the doll, she just goes,
Look, look over there, look.
And then Jean-Claude is going to take JJ's hands,
put them on her hips, and sing,
Flairé, chaca, flairé, chaca.
And the doll's dancing,
Deux, me, vu, vu, vu, vu, deux.
And he's also dancing with the doll.
I'm going to do a performance check.
Natural one, everybody.
At the best timing.
The thing that babies do,
Staring at you, staring at the doll.
It smiles a bit.
A big smile.
And as you do like a finishing flourish with JJ,
It does the thing that babies do when it realizes that,
Oh, wait, life does suck after a little bit of happiness.
And it just lets out a large, another big smile.
No.
And you hear,
Okay, time to run.
I'm making the hut.
You're making the hut?
Yeah, cause I don't want her to get hurt.
And I'm going to, I was going to ritual cusp it before,
but now I'm going to use a spell slot.
So.
Is it big enough for all of us?
Cause we're going to need it.
Yeah, it is big enough for all of us.
I'm pretty sure you can cast it as an action.
Oh no, wait, you probably can't.
No, one minute.
It's one minute.
I can't do it.
It's one minute?
Oh, fuck me.
Can we run, if we run into a room or something?
She's back in the way.
She goes,
And you hear the sound getting closer.
You're in an alleyway.
There are like, there are like other, there are like other buildings,
but I would say it's like you quickly try them.
Everything's locked.
Everything's locked up at the moment.
You can try to go back the way you came or.
Back the way we came, that was where the sound is coming from.
No, no, no.
It's like further up.
It's like further up towards the town.
Towards the more common.
I should have said, I should have specified.
That's where we're going.
It's where we're, okay.
It's where we're going.
She goes, I need to, I need to, I need to leave.
I need to leave.
Okay.
Hold on.
Jean-Claude goes.
You do.
Go.
Go now.
He'll turn to the Dwarven woman and again in Dwarvish.
You have it to the House of Waffles.
You will be safe.
You have it on my name.
Dalmar Goldenrock.
You will be safe.
Goldenrock.
But you need to run.
And he's hoping that she knows that last name.
You see that?
You see that recognition?
And then she just nods.
And she begins to run.
As she runs, let's see.
I need all of you to roll a d20.
Jesus.
And just tell, tell the chat, tell the viewers who rolled the highest.
Me.
12.
The highest.
Dalmar and Jean-Claude both rolled 7.
And as the, as the rumbling noise gets closer, she begins to turn.
Holding the baby in hand as she begins to run.
As she begins to rush down the other way.
The rumbling noise has stopped for a moment.
As all of you look around.
Cecilia.
You look up.
As the, as the, as the air above you gets darker.
And you see a descending large automaton.
What?
Descending upon you.
What?
With his, with his hands up, hands upstretched.
It leapt, it leapt very far.
I need you to make a Dexio saving throw.
Dexio?
I don't like those seven.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
You, you, you all see just in time as Cecilia, as Cecilia looks up, as you see the,
as she sees large automaton built like a, built like a large gorilla,
large chassis, large body, big arms.
And a bit like shoulder legs.
It has a small like, like, it has a small like top hat on.
What the fuck?
Why?
It has, it has the, it has the head of like an oblong shaped like human head.
It has eyes and like teeth and like a, and everything.
It's like supposed to look like a human.
As it, as it rains down upon you, Cecilia, you take 13 points of bludgeoning damage.
And you are knocked prone.
No.
As you are knocked to the, as you are knocked to the ground.
The, you see that the, it attempts to pin you down as it reaches its arm towards you and it goes,
You are wanted.
This is a locksmith.
Downmars, I'm kidding.
It's like Downmars says.
Do we all see this?
Yes, absolutely.
Okay, the Jog Cloud's gonna roll initiative or whatever the fuck he's gotta do.
He's in it.
It is fighting time.
Um, real quick, as the, the subtle, we're gonna settle this real quick.
He's gonna try to grapple you when you, when you go prone.
Okay.
It's athletics.
Yes.
Ten.
Give me one moment here.
It's gonna roll high.
22.
Yeah.
It rolled what I rolled base, as its base.
It, it, it wraps its big arms, big hand around you, squeezing, squeezing you.
You feel the air and your, your bones beginning to push together as it lifts you up in front of its arms.
Its arms completely shaking.
It has, this thing is fully berserk.
It is shaky.
Um, Jean Claude, um, Uncle Mode comes in.
Uncle Mode's on baby.
Um, do I get a free attack or are we rolling for initiative?
You get a free attack in first.
Okay.
Uh, yeah, so Uncle Mode is already activated.
Uh, JJ's back in the bag.
Uh, and Jean Claude is going to swing.
Does a.
Okay.
Uh.
I think like he's used to hitting flesh.
Um, and armored folks.
So he goes for a weak spot that would normally be like on a chink of armor, but it's all fucking metal.
Jean Claude.
You missed.
What the.
Again.
Um.
Oh.
You should have hit.
Someone has someone has someone that you that you love in their hands.
And at this moment with your axe, it just doesn't go through again.
Again.
Oh, no.
Is he having PTSD?
Uh.
As, as you, as you, as you attempt to swing, it almost like swats you away.
It's large hand batting at your side and you just, you skid away for a moment.
Um.
As the, as the watchman like holds the holding Cecilia looks towards the crying baby.
And just gets absolutely furious.
Um.
Like that cat in again.
He's scratching at the wall behind me.
Alright, it's time to roll initiative.
I was going to say there is a there is a cat watchman.
Meow.
Agustus is back.
Agustus is back, baby.
So do you want to roll initiative now, Tim?
Yes.
Alright.
Here we go.
This is gonna be rough.
Nat 20, 27, baby.
21.
Let's fucking go.
We all go before it.
Yeah.
Dragmire goes.
Oh, you roll it against it.
That doesn't matter.
Um.
Uh, so you can.
Thanks, Dragmire.
You could just match Jean-Claude's.
Uh.
You could just match Jean-Claude, right?
Yeah.
Um, yeah, I'll match his initiative.
Dragmire, you take back your take back your thingy.
Take back your points.
Redeem your points.
If I get onto hits for the players advantage so I can hit them.
Thanks.
No, Timmy, no.
Chat is on our side.
Sure.
Okay.
Um, wink.
Alright, everyone, we're gonna go to a map.
Ah.
Here we go.
It's big.
It's a big map.
The map for the viewers, the lovely viewers.
Get my hit points in.
To my tokens.
I don't have to do math.
But the cameras aren't moving.
Why?
I made the mistake of eating ice cream when I blacked out.
I'm getting them together.
There we go.
Everyone's cheering for you, but that's because they're fools.
Anyways.
What?
Wow.
Rude.
I'm sorry.
Stretch and hydrate.
We should just never add in channel points.
Let's just keep the imaginary ones.
Channel points to convert your actual channel points to imaginary points.
Jenny, I have 35,000.
We need to put some in eventually.
I'm surprised that I don't know why I'm surprised I have more than you.
I have it open every stream, so I guess I should.
But for some reason I was like, wait, I have more than you?
Stretching hurts.
I have 36.9k.
Okay.
I'm also going to roll for Moira.
Is Moira the Dwarven woman who needs to run away as quickly as she can?
I say girl's going to do what she does, she goes do, she goes run.
She's going, guys.
She's going to be a little bit more farther away, personally.
The battle map isn't working, so let me get that fixed up.
Uh oh.
There we go.
Now it's fixed.
Everything on the overlay is fixed.
Okay.
So this is going to be easy because it's players first and then whatever the DM wants to fucking do.
Is this where I am?
Yeah.
Let me get that fixed up.
This was just a pre-lay.
Okay.
I missed.
Never again.
Looks like on stream it'll got to get moved too.
Hmm, that's weird.
Because it's way low on stream.
So we're seeing Moira right now.
That's it.
There we go.
No.
Oh, there you go.
I was delayed for me, so I was like, wait, what?
Okay.
All right, with that said, Jean-Claude, Cecilia, the two of you can pick which to go first.
Who would be the best option, Jenny?
I might be able to get free.
Oh yeah, you should.
Go for it.
Is that going to take an action?
Is it going to take an action to try to get free or?
Yes.
I just tried to let you in and you weren't there.
Stop it.
I don't know if you can see the cat at the freaking window screen.
Tiny bit, yeah.
Crickshanks.
Um, um, I'm gonna, I don't want to use my whole action doing it.
I'm gonna, um, no, you want me to get free, so I.
Or do your temp hit point thingy or whatever you need to do.
That's what I was my other thing I was thinking of.
I'll do the channel divinity so that hopefully we don't all die.
Okay.
Rip.
So the moonlight.
I don't know.
Is the channel divinity weird here?
Oh no, you're right.
Cause it's strats and moonlight.
Don't do it.
Yeah.
I use channel divinity.
Okay.
It's arms are wrapped.
It's it's big hand is wrapped around your body, but you hold your symbol.
And you cast, um, and you, and you, you, you pray to salute.
And as the moon shroud shrouds over all of you.
It's fine.
It's the fact that them are, it's soothing in a way.
All right.
So your channel divinity comes out.
I should probably heal myself as a bonus action.
I'm going to healing word myself.
Okay.
Cause I don't get the benefit of my temporary hit points until next turn.
Cause it's at the start of a creature's turn.
So level one should be for when you started.
It's only fair.
It's so overpowered.
Yeah.
Um, let me roll a D 100.
I got eight healing.
Um, I rolled a 42.
So I expend the spell slot.
Okay.
So, um, the music is the do all right.
Give me one second.
There we go.
All right.
Um, I wish Willow was here.
Jean Claude.
Mom.
It's me.
Um, I missed once.
I ain't going to fucking miss again.
Uh, cause this is fucking ridiculous.
Uh, I'm going to swing from the chandelier.
Then you get temporary hit points equal to my level plus proficiency.
So eight temporary hit points.
Eight.
Let's fucking go.
I'm gonna need them cause I'm gonna get whacked around like a whack-a-mole.
Um, I believe I add plus one when I'm using the hammer.
You do, you do.
I do.
So whatever I just rolled the plus one fucking Christ almighty 12 reverberates.
Your hands are shaking from the force.
He's gonna have a mini meltdown soon.
Um, let me see what I can do.
Attack rolls forced to make a constitution.
Okay.
Fuck it.
Um, I'm going to use and channel divinity is only like, it's its own thing, right?
It's not like it takes up one of my spell slots.
Correct?
Yes.
Uh, I'm going to use my oath of seeker, uh, flash of brilliance channel divinity.
Okay.
Uh, cause he's getting pissed as a bonus.
You have two attacks.
I do.
I want to try this bonus action first though.
See if he'll let you go.
Yeah.
Uh, so bonus action can grant any amount of creatures of my choice within 20 feet, including
myself, a boon or bane.
Um, do you guys want a bonus to AC attack rolls and saving throws, or do you want me
to give, try to get them off of the con throw?
Stunned with the con throw.
You can, you can give them the boon and that guy, the bane.
Oh, I get, I forget that I can have both.
I forget that both.
Please, please, please.
Okay.
Um, so you guys get to your attack rolls, your AC and saving throws.
You get my charisma mod, which is a four.
So plus four.
Oh, that's amazing.
And then this bro must make a con saving throw.
Like a loser.
Like a dummy.
This is the thing that they do all the time.
They, they, they go like a loser and it makes me roll bad every single time.
So he's stunned.
So Cecilia should technically be able to move.
And I believe because I have advantage on the attack, right?
Um, yes, you do.
Um, so yeah, you see Jean Claude missed again.
Um, and I think he's still like processing the fact that like, Oh, like Sylvie's name
was just brought up very recently, you know?
So I think he's still like stuck in his head of like, Oh, you're right.
I couldn't save her.
I, I maybe I can't save.
And then it's like, Nope, Nope.
Back to work.
Uh, you see his bracelet flashes with the bright blast of, uh, like just blinding light,
um, that gets this creature stunned and he's just going to swing again.
All right.
With advantage.
Um, well the first hits in that 20.
So I'm a, I'm a take that.
I'm gonna take that.
Oh, there comes the story rolls.
All right.
Roll damage.
Story dice, story dice.
And I get to add, uh, I believe it's plus four because of my channel divinity, right?
Yes.
Oh, no, no, no.
Sorry.
It's not only attack rolls rather than damage.
Right.
I don't know anything.
Uh, so is it 15 slashing?
No, it's more than that.
It's 24 because the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the 24 cause that should be plus 10, not plus one because we do the max.
.
Got it.
Go.
On 24 and then I'm going to, on a Smite.
Alright, uh, go ahead and roll this.
plus six does seven plus 16.
Okay.
How much was that?
And what hit forty points of what you, a Hold on 24.
and then to it so that's a 47 points of damage so um you as you as you slash the
first time getting getting frustrated all of a sudden you draw from a place
deep within you you remember your will to protect in the first place as your
oaths come through through the very fabric of your body you hold your you
hold your bracelet up the twines of it becoming a light as you hold it up
and all of a sudden everyone in the area is filled with is filled with the
brilliance of what's up what someone's not gonna believe to be the smartest
brightest star in the sky as his brilliance fills you it also it also
gives a severe bane to the to the watchman who lets you go
Celia as it lets out this loud like roar completely just stunned I also like to
think additionally as his boon is activated the bracelet like weaves
around his arms like bit like vines like it starts to you know weave around his
arm and just like become more of a you know yeah oh gosh what's so be back
yeah they come back um all right but that said Dalmar it's your turn unless you
want to move on part or anything nah fuck I'm saying where I am okay Dalmar go
ahead he is going to go up to it with the rest of them and rage which gives me
how many temporary hit points to me I believe three gather check the FIVE
sheet again oh and you get you get plus four swing eight eight temporary hit
points from me from 11 different so you're rich your rage hit points and
your temporary hit points are different so keep keep in mind which one's which
Rachel boys are different pool than temporary points wait let me check
actually one moment here a five e everybody yeah I believe don't get to
very good points well if you get hurt you can heal at least next turn just get
you bring no benefit from temporary hit points I just get three it'll still heal
him if you do you do get plus four to your AC and attack swings and it's to
rage hit points okay but it's two per turn because they keep going oh that's
cool yeah and it's a certain point but we don't worry about that yeah it won't
get there so he rages and he's going to swing at it with his pickaxe attempting
to put it through the side of the watchman all right you can absolutely try
there's a 25 advantage cuz it's done it has you do have advantage too so you
might get a crit no no well take a 25 I 25 all right seven piercing it's about
time you get the sunk sink one of your pickaxes is the one of these assholes
as you're just bullies your your your pickaxe you see that you see the massive
dent that John clock rated with his axe with a hammer and as you come in with
the pickaxe that the finer the sharper end of your pickaxes actually goes into
the watchman and almost as if it recoils from pain which they're not supposed to
feel no no oh it's like a feral animal oh no all right you want to make your
second attack I forgot I have a second attack so yes I love to attacks baby he
will swing again trying to aim for around the same spot to widen the hole
he has created 23 yeah no girl no no you can't 13 points of damage nice nice
nice Dimash you're you're digging deeper holes you think deeper hosting and you
see the light from its inner core begin to actually shine through the the gap
you're making in its exterior as you're just furiously slamming your pickaxe into
it and lightning discharges from your body by the way everyone sees Delmar
lightning is like pulsing around him through his eyes is every bit of his
body lightning just completely embodied him okay
but I'm just saying okay so can you read to me real quick Emma as Moira's gonna
use the fucking dash action to get out of here 30 feet she has 15 feet movement
at the moment the first brilliance is it a thing that I have to roll a saving
throw on to end the stun or is it going to be just it's done until the end of my
next turn at the end of your next turn okay and then you guys go only got those
bonuses until the end of my ex turn okay unfortunately so what that said we are
going to go ahead and come up at the end over here do do one second let's go to
Jean Claude or Celia maybe me since you know and said then your win ends on your
turn and I'm am I still stuck when it's stunned um no no it's like you it's like
you go okay um and I'm not like so high up that I'm like oh yeah give me a next
three savings or this should happen last time
do you do take total of one point so bludgeoning them out one button in oh wait
but I get temporary hit points it takes one off your eight temporary hit points
bless you thank you yeah oh yeah me I did plus one again I only have one hand
because of this dog is seven enter okay um so then I'm going to I see it's frozen
so I'm going to guiding bolt it at second level all right let me roll a d100
to see if I have to spend the spell slot or not 87 it's free fuck yeah all right
so I get advantage and plus four plus four to your swing and Tracy I'm 19
versus a one just miss his can I use my inspiration for that yes you may wait
okay teen doesn't hit that's probably 20 oh god um so I just rolled one more time
correct not twice once more yeah okay um let me see here guiding bolt where are
you okay never I rolled two net ones um so that misses yeah Lisa didn't spend
that that's my turn 20 AC oh boy as it's still I forgot to describe it as it's
still Dalmar you recognize this watchman the names of the names of children the
drawing of children on its along its arms and such there's like childlike
scrawlings like about about it's just like all over its body so when they were
harassing isn't it all right I'm at the end of your turn yeah okay John Claude go
ahead I going to swing
right where has redeemed plus one to any role by the players so drag man has this
power that is so many points so I believe my flash of it's the end of my
next turn right yeah so it's not the end yet okay so 25 to hit yes that hits 11
and I'm gonna add on another my I have three smites on that hammer right hmm
yes you do you go to your provision oh so yes and you have additional smites so
you actually have five total with your with the hammer of loony oh my god I
love it I'm just gonna keep smiting 2d8 to 21 point 11 slash in 10 brilliant
for the first hit as the blows are smashing into it you see that it's still
stunned but this these horrific screams keep keep erupting from it's like you
think you're straight up attacking like um just like a feral animal um oh god
okay John Claude's uncomfortable now and he's gonna say just shit um and like a
dog and cast command command I think I have the command spell I could be wrong
action oh it's an action right I get one more attack not another action you get
another attack okay hold on um I don't know if you roll with advantage on that
last one no I'll roll one more time to see if you get a crit on that but now
it's screaming and now I'm scared it's more of a it's more of a like oh I'm
gonna fucking kill you guys scream so maybe it's it's not like oh nevermind
don't worry about it okay good then I'm gonna kick your ass you little shit I
was like there's a lot of moral shit happening right now
thank you yeah actually oh wow I actually I did it so we're gonna add a
plus I credit again everybody plus 26 to that right six so you quit quit twice I
quit tries I'm feeling the love of Sylvie baby
um now time for my second attack yes um putting in all your strikes all focusing
on this it um it looks damage but just like it's it's not doesn't feel like
it's out of the halfway point yet nope it's not at the halfway point okay well
we'll get there
thank you oh my why I'll take that I think I think that Nat one and Tim
giving like the motivation of like yeah you you can't save them like it's just
like before the dice the dice with this is all your fault to me like that like
no like not today Satan
whoa hey damage please this is why y'all this is a little fucking wild damage too so is that 24 and then a smite I
assume nine not as thrilling but you gotta get down so this dog is not letting
me put her down she just clings to me you you um you carve into this into this
into this large watchman um this is some of the hardest metal that you have ever
spent a dom or these are built to withstand like dragonfire these are
built to withstand like the harshest of like the harshest of ballistas Jean Claude
is cleaving through this this figure getting through the chassis exposing
more of its more of its core and you see like throughout the gaps that the large
gaps of Jean Claude's creating electrical currents are beginning to
like spew outwards fuck again take inspiration just rolling well now you
have to I'll take it baby I'll take it to inspiration die fuck yeah um I realized
partway through that turn to me is there any chance I can take my movement oh yeah
absolutely I'll go to do that I feel like we shouldn't be in the line I just
have a bad feeling about it so what's this in the middle here call that's an
anvil but like what's the steps are those steps leading up to it yeah I can
step up on them I'm gonna do it oh yeah oh my why Damar is fully impressed by
what Jean Claude is able to do to it yeah like okay maybe I am cool as mean
mean no just internally just internally so not the standards the stunt has worn
off it has reached its halfway point as you see that it loads for a second
Dalmar you begin to you prepare your pickaxe and it as you prepare it and get
closer to it it just acts like it shuts down for a moment oh no and as it as it
does you hear you hear a slight solemn voice coming from it
I missed the whistle I don't hear it anymore
and this and this is this happens when we just have a point you see this large
electrical current spews out from it everyone please give me a give me a
Constitution saving throw the whistle of what let's just whistle a little song
what is that myself made 14 that probably fails what was that I accidentally
rolled with advantage which one you want me to take one 19 you succeed the
Cecilia Jean Claude you fail I fail all right you take this Cecilia Jean Claude
full damar does have so skinny points of lightning damage and then how many ten
pit points did we have Jenny you had a fuck yeah so I only take a kidding nine
all right so as this electrical current of flows through you see that it's you
see that its eyes are furious as it just I just kind of look just downwards its
jaw becomes unhinged it doesn't even care about its head anymore
Dom or go ahead is your turn yeah his first attacks just gonna be another
normal swing with the pickaxe 16 does not hit okay um does the pickaxe of
lightning have to be ranged or can he do it point blank although well um you can't
do it now because you already did an attack roll um the lightning throw um
yeah that's not gonna that's not gonna work so you have to do the extra tech
and I do that as my extra tech no it has to be its own action
yeah he's just gonna swing again I hope cuz he knows that it's not about to be
fun
now holy shit another that is a 28 check that you all can roll good you've blessed
us hey I think it's the dog you guys you have to get down the dog I'm gonna drop
you if you don't know it's 14 points of damage 14 because your tempest your
tempest you're raging I believe you add an extra the before you roll extra you
roll an extra d6 actually so roll a d6 now is it that what the rage lightning
and rage thunder are yes
five okay let me get that down does that add plus a max for a crit or oh yeah it
is plus six because it is a dice that's being rolled so
damage um what whistle the whistle the guards whistle oh oh it misses having
duty so tied to the chains so how much did I just do to me you did and 25
points of damage in one hit cool
guys suck as you how's it looking it's looking it's looking rather rough but it
is looking rather enraged it's going to use its it's going to use a reaction to
make a slam attack against you it's gonna do so recklessly which means it
has advantage of course
oh AC is 18 so you take 22 points up who I rolled I rolled that by accident I
wrote 37 that doesn't that doesn't exist we roll that real quick okay my
baby seven bludgeoning the image reduce the protein because you are a repent
could you mention for like we've had a d7 to our campaign a dice that makes no
sense it doesn't roll all right it's going to be its turn
it's going to go to it's cool as it slams down on you down mark it's heavy
fist just heavily just slamming directly into you into your chest it hurts even
when you're raging the pain comes through it takes this moment to put its
put its fingers under its chin and it's gonna rip its own head off and as it as
it does it turns towards you Jean-Claude and it's going to slam its head against
you I am very confused with advantage why 27 happy chat are you happy now
Agmira wants us to beat him up huge head against you you do take 28 points of
bludgeoning damage let me do math right now one of its attacks it's going to it's
going to take one more attack on you Jean-Claude hold on it was 48 46 minus
28 right what was that 28 right 20 points of damage yes okay okay I'm ready
yeah okay so 20 put the dough is going to attack you once more but that is a 29
it was an advantage so see if we get to crit okay so just a 29 yeah that hits
all right so you're going to take from a slam attack it's headless it's
electricity sparking out of its out of its place where the head heads up it's
still going it's so it's still roaring it's still furiously moving around you
take 24 points of bludgeoning damage I'm down you'll get hit points next turn
though so you can start oh you already yeah and then it's gonna look towards
down more of course it's gonna it's gonna take its third attack on you third
attack does it have let's see teams and 17 neither hit okay you take that you
you take the pickaxe and you just push up against its fists it's just lurching
down upon you um it leers it leers closer um and it just goes guilty guilty
guilty of what
um in it just it just goes traveling with wanted fugitives at sorts you got
more um listen that's rude you are technically criminals yes but that's
still rude recognizes you part of the wanted posters I know um all right so
you know to me the the maps off on the stream I think when you move the other
lady there we go maybe I got you guys
click click click all right well that's it that was the watchman's turn we're
gonna say the Moira makes it out of there we don't have to do we have to
worry about good good too much stress we're just dealing with the four um all
right what that said that was what's Mr. now at the top of the round um Cecilia I
assume you want to go first um yeah probably a good idea yeah she what she
did last term didn't work but she just wants to try again she just wants to try
to like focus and see you don't come go down and try to try to guiding bold at
second level again I'm going to see mighty 136 I have to spend the spell
slot and it's advantage because it attacked recklessly right yes okay
21 to hit hits okay so it's at second level click the button please thank you
Wow 11 damage that's the worst guiding bull I've ever as the attacks as the
attack strikes it it just it lurches forward and then looks up towards the
moon and its fingers are flexing that's it and I heal eight at the top of my
turn from my channel divinity I'm going to healing word Jean-Claude at first
level because he's also getting other healing so oh let me roll D100 though
and see if that a I have to spend this bus so you heal click the button please
thank you five but then you'll get eight at the start at your turn to yeah baby
oh you're less cast two spells yeah we changed it okay got it where is this not
all bonus action can be like that but a healing word is a special so how many
total Jenny five plus eight you said be five and then you'll get eight at the
start of your turn okay so I'm up that's my turn yeah so you get it
we up okay keep in mind guys we have greater healing potions yeah baby I I
could not I could not heal in between that barrage nope
most of the turn there was no turn through its head at me what do you want
me to do is it my turn now it is your turn yes Jean-Claude you know clonks out
and then zoom pumps back up he's like that fucking santa fuck you miss it and
he's gonna swing again now he's grumpy cuz he got his back is hurting him he's
too old for this shit he's entered old advantage advantage that's right cuz
you've guiding bolted him also because it attacked recklessly so we get a
advantage on the tax against it love it sorry so so that will be a 16 technically
the plus one but yeah his back is killing him so that's his first attack
to me I had plus one or plus two to my attacks with my ranged weapons ouch so
the second level one before would have hit oh no that's okay if it's too late
I wrote damage okay we need and I would have to use my inspiration but I'll keep
it marked off for fairness sake I'm a second attack while you do that that's a
lot better overall 26 radiant damage there we go there we go
what if I kill them whatever like oh wait a second oh wait wait Jean-Claude it's
up instead that's why he keeps missing cuz it's already dead I need to just
manually add that into all my range spells so that I stop forgetting that
that I have that item but yeah then you'll forget that you added it no I
don't remember after I did that so our Jean-Claude go ahead make the second
attack rule and advantage so yes that is a another nat 20 baby I was out and they
pulled me back yes that day was either the night come back to life so this was
his fourth not 20 of the goddamn yeah yeah that would be 18 slashing right and
I'm gonna see that's my another smite oh that sucks oh well for 16 20 so 38 so
fucking fuck you damage fuck you damage and a smite is not technically a bonus
action right um no it's part of your attack okay special smite spells you can
cast as a bonus action before you attack but nor is might you just it's when you
hit it's not a section I would love to chug a potion please absolutely 20 hit
points straight up 20 thank you it will use its reaction against you my ass will
down again on it make a make a con saving throw I'm too urge for this the
con save is a 19 you see as a as a as a as you attack it looks towards you and
you see a part of its a compartment opens up within its front of its body
and this smells like almost like wispy blue energy shoots out towards you you
feel yourself slow for a moment but then you may just shake it off okay down more
please how's it looking Tim extremely rough okay then he's just going to swing
at it normally not lightning charged because I don't think I would get
advantage on that since it's a DC check you think it is your eight by the way
fuck yeah you're most back to full health but you'll still heal the eight so
I don't know if we'll have another fight so I want to save it so he's just going
to attack normally with advantage right we might have another fight after this
that's a 19 high okay no I'm sorry go ahead and make another tackle yeah 24
hits go for damage it's oh my god um it's so close isn't it still standing
see this gotta have the last hit great miss again right don't miss and he was
it going to attack well you is your raging crystal this is the this is what
the showcase your your taking abilities you got the hit points right you've got
84 hit points picked out eight hit points you healed because of Cecilia's
charity because I can heal or temporary hit points so when you were full health
I couldn't do anything since you can't get temporary hit points but since you
can we also discuss how we're all at level five I have 54 hit points Jenny
has 44 and JT has 84 and look a lot of buffs when it comes to
make sure to add to hit Rachel points on top of your yeah I've already marked them
okay got it you go outside all right well that's okay well this is
unfortunate because I was gonna ask everyone to make a constitution saving
throw here we go baby time for the concert thought that the 119 9 Cecilia
make a con saving throw natural 20 you see a compartment opens up from its back
and it reaches in and you know what this is down are what catches all the
criminals as opposed out this track I'm at gigantic Lance from its back that's
not a bad with this with these are these runic symbols carved into the spear and
it's not a bad masters it downwards into the into the ground erupting this field
of stasis Jean Claude Delmar and not use a ceiling junk of Delmar you were both
you you are both your movement is reduced to zero you are slowed you movement is
reduced to zero you cannot take an extra attack you can only use an action or a
bonus action and you move it only one attack hey Jenny and more kill it and
your AC is reduced by two no it will overdrive and which is basically an
action surge and it's going to attack down more joy I'm the tank you have a
you have a 16-hole now it rose advantage 16 police aren't ethical so it doesn't
matter that we're wanted 27 points of damage to you that mark not have reduced
to because you're still raging this is 13 we're writing down it's going to
attack you again at 26 your favorite number and 14 so 26
so 24 down to 12 I don't want to get squished with the head again it's going
to attack it's going to attack you Jean Claude no please don't do that it would
be unfair to get all three on me so 22 to hit that's huge
um 15 points of damage and it's going to use it's going to use just static
discharge on you so you take an additional it's because it's flattened by
me to additional eight points of lightning damage so 22 plus eight so 30
yes we love it well you take 15 plus eight so it's 23 points of damage total
oh oh wait so less less I thought I thought it was your full hit for a
second how much less I forgot I'm aft you said 30 so get seven more okay so
you're 10 hit points love it love it love it I did the math before Timmy
this time I know I know I know I'm just bragging because you're good at it
he's so good at math guys he's really good I wish that's why I always have him
do it for me and whenever I ask I say what's that I just wait for him to do
it so I don't have to do all right um let's see Cecilia it's your turn now
okay I see them get like messed up by something and I'm convinced that I'm
fine because I moved to the backside of it even though that's not what happened
um I didn't want to use a lot more spells but I do want it done since they
look bad so I'm gonna cast another second classic second level guiding
bolt let me see if I keep this post slot I don't I wrote a 28 um does it have
advantage did it reckless attack um it didn't okay so it's normal no no no no
no it did it did oh yeah what was that can be a tie-dye okay advantage let me
take off the spell slots guiding full yeah 26 Timmy's favorite number which
means it's a crit right anyways that's a new homebrew rule mm-hmm
we're so many 26 is as well fuck yeah 16 radiant damage God no no no don't thank
God yet oh no oh no I'm gonna roll a d20 and I'm gonna tell you everyone right
now if it rolls a five or below you can celebrate really nice three there but
it's it's resiliency program does not kick in as you hit it with a guiding
bolt how do you describe how do you want to finish this um as the moonlight
around her is healing her lightning burns I guess lightning wounds she
just sticks to what she's what she's been doing with the with the spell
lobbers ring and and blasts it I guess through the back where the the lance
thing came out because that's where she's facing as you blast it to her where
the lance comes out as it as it begins to like reach up with the lances stabbed
down once more this large blast blast blast from the back and you see that the
radiant heat from your guiding bolt actually begins to melt through the back
of his chassis Domar you see a all of a sudden a bolt of light melts through and
punched through its front as it stands for a moment its jaw wait doesn't even
have a head it just stands there you see electricity began to build up around it
this is gonna explode oh god are we still slowed yes you still oh no you
heal though a hero you guys feel eight on your turns you move away um they heal
eight okay what this fast you feel your next year seven throws immediately
cuz slow oh no no no no we can't move to your row here we go how bad gonna be
you take the both of you take this damage unmitigated 42 points 42 points
of fire damage down again bow down down three 12s you wrote three 12s it's going
down I'm Ellen timber you bet you're ready to but my channel divinity so the
channel divinity will heal again on the next turn I'm getting my ass booped again
ouch let me check this to make sure the dog yeah it's self-destruct blowing up
Jean-Claude you are taken by fire you are taken by fire joking on it seeing
Sylvie and whatever that whatever that fake creature was through it before it
takes you into it's well wait I'm sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I I misheard
that so I as before I go down I see the fake creature surrounded by smoke and
fire taking Sylvie it's a flashback or I'm like seeing it again flashback
flashback to when my niece was taken by that fuck great I'm doing everything I
can to turn every single moment into a teachable heartable moment so before
Jean-Claude went down as he was getting to this 42 fucking fire damages was
burned he had a flashback to the moment when his when Sylvie was taken and the
fake creature was surrounded by flames and took him to go away
oh Dalmar you're caught in the blast harsh as well for four point of 42 points
of fire damage Erem the force the heat the way it takes you by surprise and the
way it takes a person that you were leading
it was a bit familiar doesn't it as the fire and the heat subsides Cecilia you
covered your eyes from the large bright orange flames and as as you bring down
your hand you barely see Jean-Claude and Dalmar
she runs back to them rushing around you see Jean-Claude on the ground your
moonlight it's strange your moonlight is normally like a blanket of safety of
comfort but you've never seen it like little tendrils of moonlight seeping
indirectly touching him going into Jean-Claude
Jean-Claude you hear eight hit points because there's no divinity still up this
is the second time Jean-Claude goes oh he's gotten his ass kicked he's been knocked to the
ground his back is hurting he's in pain but he's up and the stasis eventually
wears away
she just pulled for her for her medicine kit because she's running low on spells
and she gathered he's not dying so and she waves he waves her off it goes I'm
fine I'm fine let's get moving they're not fine let's go come on I've taken
well I've taken what I've taken where sit sit if we're going to take a rest we
can't do it here okay um we need see damn man needs to rest so we will take
a rest for them out he's just gonna give you a look like you have gone
unconscious twice in this fight you want to argue this
unconscious the most in the game
down once yeah no you to know that's the first time a watchman has been to eat in
the last week and a half really nice how many more are there 14
14 it's just flashes back to the head getting smashed in 14 do you understand
why I am so hesitant to trust the automaton yes but as you can see we have
attended let's go get out of the open I can you know some way to heal yes I
can hear my safe let's go if you find a good spot I can take a few minutes
you there's like an abandoned storefront nearby they can hide in before that
now the bell tower is ringing I'm gonna come that's a good thing yes
down our does oh they're all looking on you know week and a half also I don't
know what the bell tower means because that Bell's not supposed to ring you
look first I'll say that more because it's as it's the most significant to you
as you look up towards the Bell tower and you see the bell ding ding ding
ding ringing there's a glint of something like this like like light
reflecting off of something which is strangers no son
make it X 30 saving throw why why why are you getting guiding bolted to what's
going on 21 points of piercing damage you see I'm down spiraling through the
air moving at like almost Mach speed a large crossbow bolt coming from the
clock tower and striking directly into Delmar how much more mileage should we
get out of my channel divinity before it went away like three more turns so 24
hit points okay you got that much you got 24 hit points back okay so so so that
more doesn't it it goes right through your shoulder goes clean right through
as an exact circle is is placed directly into your arm into into your shoulder
through through your back as the crossbow bolt exits out your back and shoots into
the wall you see as it goes into the wall it into the wall of a storefront it
actually shatters the wall but you should be so up because you had 24 hit
points extra from yeah I'm down to 19 so much firing at you from the bell tower
take a bath so it just for personal knowledge that was a bigger crossbow
bolt than what a watchman or the cobblers had correct the watchmen don't
have like they have the big they have their huge gigantic javelins this was
like well it's really hard to determine right now you all you know is you got
shot really hard and you need to move it was basically like a ballista run away
from the clock tower somewhere where I can't see for cover as you all begin to
as we all as well begin to dive for cover there another arrow you you all
like duck your head down low as these these moving faster than what you're
asking to see them these large arrows whiz past all of you taking um like the
wind is blasting you as these guys moves as these as he's almost Melissa's are
just moving impossibly fast you see buildings crumble before you as
eventually you retreat to you treat to like a general store like a sundry store
and dive in away from the site of the clock tower as you as you all
dive in closing the door behind you getting the smell of now rotten produce
a quiet hangs over the area as you just kind of braces inside of the store I'm
gonna give Delmar some healing we give you 15 of my lay on hands I can get us a
short rest though if we yeah if we if if we have if you think we have enough time
for me to test tiny hut do we have enough 11 minutes with this will we get
hit by one of these projectiles um I would say in the minutes to come as a
very heavy silence hangs over everything an art not a ballista but an arrow arcs
into the area and lands directly in the middle of the area you see that the you
see that the arrow has attached to it a white like cloth and a note that's that
seemingly like the white cloth is wrapped around a piece of paper John
Claude's gonna go to see they you work on the spell and he's gonna go out to
get the note you go out to get the note as you go out to get to the as you go
out to get to note you do look up to see the clock tower everything has gone
quiet and as you walk within you you're tentative at first as you walk into
within view of the clock tower where whatever is shooting at you from up
there can be you know it's up there but you don't hear any shots you walk over
to the arrow that's been fired seems like you're seeing like your standard
fair like wouldn't arrow that you know even though the grove and garb would use
as you pick it up you unfurl the cloth and hold the note and it says on the
back it says to the fur bulk what the fuck
you shot the door for to get a message to the fur ball you turned it over and
it says one hour until I hunt again who is Sylvie Oh it's the automaton is it
still in the clock tower it's very far it's so far away but that means we have
time for a short rest and then to run like hell oh he's not gonna be able to
run after this he's just gonna crunch the paper in his hand
let it fall to the ground and walk back in
down while you are so you're nursing your pretty gnarly wound at the moment
that's getting healed up by Cecilia presume as we wait for Jenny to come
back for a moment so she can hear what happened alright so while you were gone
I'm sorry no you're fine absolutely I felt on the stairs I didn't have any
shoes on either so it hurts I'm sorry I'm okay almost done so Jean-Claude went
out to go get the note it said to the fur bulk on the back of it and it said I
will start my hunt again in an hour who is Sylvie so we have time for tiny hut
and to short pass a short rest is an hour though nope nope that I won't have
time for that no let me med kit so we don't have to spend resources that we
can use in fights I have ten charges of med kit and I have physician fee I think
when John Claude comes back in he'll say apparently we have one hour one hour
until what it attacks again let me should not be here when it does it will let me I
can't cast this it's that's another time for everyone to but I can use this kit
and you can use an action to spend one use of a healer satchel to tend to a
creature the creature retain regains 1d6 plus four hit points plus additional
hit points equal to its maximum number of hit dice so to the level basically
unless you have more hit dice from something I can only do it once for each
of you okay that's cool so yeah so d6 plus nine do you want me to roll
separate for those Timmy or do you want to just use the same one for both okay
um John Claude first she does John Claude first we 14 14 yes I'll take it
Dalmar 11 and Dalmar is going to drink his greater healing potion because he
needs it so be 20 Tim yes it would be 20 is the clock tower on the way to the
theater it's on the way yes and wreck it you reckon you can get there before an
hour well there is another there is another there is another viable path in
case you need to recoup because the fight with the watchman has been taxing
it's definitely not an hour to like get out of this town and go back to camp and
recoup but that's time Sean Claude goes ah the message was directed to me why I
don't know but it wants to know who Sylvie's gestures to like the moon I
will be at the clock tower in an hour it is easier for me to fight when
something is in front of me than being shut at the MFR I think we need to get
can we get to the moon shard that might be able to end this where is it but we
don't know again I don't know where it is we need we need the archmage in order
to find that and I thought you had a good guess I can send a message to him
save your spells I will we have three options one is to take the hour and
leave get as far away as we can and try to get back to cup the other is get
closer to the playhouse and do what we were sent in here to do and the third is
go to the clock tower and hope it will be there in an hour well I believe the
clock tower is on the way to the city I on the easiest route yes and we just
want to face this one head-on would be better than letting it shoot me again
was that what shot you John-Claude not I'm pretty sure that is what shot unless
there were multiple things on top of the clock tower but I only saw one I'm going
to cast sending she really thinks this is the way and she feels very strongly
about it 1d100 79 so I lose one of my third level spells she cast sending from
the Archmage and says I'm with Dalmar we're trying to save you and trying to
stop the red moon where are you or where is the moon shard
you get some guttural sounds even mentally
and that arcane ambit that's where I am
careful
of the fanator
it's hunting everyone down I can't be saved I can't what sorry to be blamed I
can't be saved oh can't be saying be safe he didn't bring up the moon shard
he did he say where the moon shard is I think he means our key name but yeah
because you can save everyone that's it
you see her take out the wire even though down our heads that not to and
she casts the spell she goes and then a few moments later she goes I heard
something about bit he's alive but ambit is that the arcane ambit this lab he
said alive yes he said she's watching down Mars base to see what she should
say she goes he said I could save everyone I think he means there and he
said be careful of the finaster it's hunting everyone down the thing out there
that shut that ass I assume it to me would tell more know what the finaster
is the is the ambit on the way come on that's in the central area that's where
the watchman are patrolling it's it's not and it's not somewhere we should go
that's where we can save everyone though going there is suicide especially right
now you saw what one watchman did imagine fighting the other 14 at once I
want nothing more than to save my friend but I can't do that if I'm dead
she rummages through her bag even though it's a bag of holding and she um she's
gonna pull out the swamp concoctions they give five temporary hit points and
five actual hit points I have three of them left she's gonna just start
putting those on you guys okay so we know where the moon shards are we have
we still have to run they food up with the other group no we might not be able
to make our rendezvous if we do anything more we will be delayed and Captain Lee
will take his group back out of the city we are on our own unless we run now but
I know that it's not what you wish to do if that thing's hunting him will we even
get another chance to go deeper into the city maybe I can stop it it's looking
for me it's one senses I assume I can stall it it's not going to kill me on
sight but you will continue to shoot if I do not approach it I feel as long
as it is hunting it will find a target to hunt and if you think it is targeting
you then us stopping it might be the only thing that lets the rest of them
get out is there anywhere that you can communicate shit no it is not I can send
another message save your spells if I need to I you can what she shuts her
mouth with that tone it is a heavy side I uncle mode activated but what if I
have to Cecilia the sky is what it is danger there's a dog drinking in the
background you said dog ASMR
the sky is right let us not invoke something that is so primordial at this
time but if I have to we will get to that bridge when it must be crossed
mm-hmm at this rate is more likely to burn that bridge when we get to it I
just say we torture doll at this point but I understand okay that being said
so tell me according to you I vote to get the moonshines would be the center
of town it is nearly impossible nice you know a secret tunnels I don't know way
to get in see where system back up I have potions of flying potions of
climbing two of each
lying is a too risky while it is still hunting it's not hunting yet we will
not have time to get to the arcane ambit and back to the clock tower within an
hour you only have two of climbing and flying right I have whatever you are
about to suggest you will not sorry but no Jean-Claude goes honestly I'm looking
at the numbers here there is no room for self-serving sacrifice here I am not
self-sacrificing me I want fucking answers for my knee and you're not going
to go alone and do it but if we can stop this if Cecilia can connect the
moonshine if we can get it to end and if it doesn't we have a choice in thinking
of that right now I'm not going to lose more people I've been trusted to protect
I'm sorry I cannot let you go off on your own then don't let us go off on our
own we'll all go together
but which way Cecilia I think we just need to go there I know it's dangerous I
the longer we wait the more dangerous I think this will get unless you think we
should slowly take down targets and hope that none of them go wrong is it not
better to try to get it all done at once you said that the hunter was a problem
that's what the archmage said right he said be careful until needs to be taken
care of first the watchmen are dangerous the hunter is deadly I'm sorry Cecilia
the moonshot will have to wait we don't have time to keep arguing it so if
that's what you both think then no
dare nod your head at that Tim he's like what do you for the chat if we how close
could we get there with the time we have the way to to the arcane ambit not
close enough but how close
maybe two-thirds of the way there assuming nothing goes wrong and we don't
see anything at the clock tower in an hour I I might be able to with that hot
spell I'd obviously we don't want to risk getting surrounded waiting in there
but it lasts for a long time um eight hours that's what I thought I was just
second guessing myself it lasts for eight hours it can be something or
something to recuperate if I set it up in advance but I don't want to get
surrounded either we don't have time really we don't have time to talk about
it anymore so you just said what to do down there
you just has a look you are making my internal problems so much worse but I
can't yell at you for it because it is my problem the archmage he was okay he
was alive when you talked to him he couldn't respond if he was dead so then
that's all I need to know we go for the hunter first maybe we can set up a trap
best to up around wants to talk to me right I get it I get it I want criminal
dashing debonair a leader of a rock rebellion I can see why they're so
obsessed with me take 30 points of damage
trying to break the tension by the way who who is what were you guys's hit
points I am now at 65 that's without counting in the swamp thing yeah how
much people need the swamps I'm 45 at 84 I'm 46 out of 54 so I'm good okay well
John Claude get you get five hit points love it plus five temp love it and
Delmar gets ten hit points but you can't take the temp oh you can take it now
he's not raging oh does it do they stack probably not you just get five hit
point temp yeah five five people and five times okay but he's getting two of
them so raging no no but he gets to temp I'm using to the swamp co-coctions I
bet so does that temp stack Sally did not stack that's right okay so you get
ten hit points in 510 that's fine drag my demands the party be split no that's
not happening no it'll be a great cliffhanger I only had one split party
thing happen in a different game not even with you guys it was me and one of
the character and the other character died it's not got it we don't love that
we can just we could so the cliffhanger can just be Jean-Claude I'm using on all
the hunters like so clearly obsessed with him what a freaking what do they
call it what are they call it in the books a young deer exactly oh my why if
the party gets split they pay for it I'm not letting I'm not gonna let Jean-Claude
go off on his little I'm a hero saving everyone's trip I know I want to know
what's happening to my niece that are still does not know who Sylvie is I know
over told him John still don't know his backstory exactly all I know is that he
was like your my family sucks ass and drunk club was like clearly is a lot of
attachment issue so kind of action I need a later in front of me we're going
to the clock tower okay right away post-haste okay I would assume we have
a needed the beaded necklace I have is fireball necklace right yeah okay I
figured she would have had a time to identify that since she found it so he's
gonna go in with the band I mean oh my god I'll call their Sylvie whoa what's a
slip right there
the bandolier fucking fireball they're all four beads and and if he's would be
like hey that's my hard candy that's my fireball
um as you all make your way to the clock tower I make actually in the store
feeling the wrong going now the relative quiet the quietude of the place has hung
heavy over you the absolutely hostile environment has completely sunken in for
the new folks taking the time to travel making your way towards with the elder
tree playhouse is towards the clock tower the clockwork Commons I'll say
that a few more automatons with their head but these ones are wandering you
see one to two cobbler models the one on wheels to help out on the library Charlie
you see you see one is rubbing the head of the other and the other ones can be
shut off and it's going it's okay it's okay I'm here that's heartbreaking you
see you see another one pushing a stroller across the street and it's
going child child
multiple cases of automatons you find under the I would say like they're
pretty weak so not gonna have you roll initiative I was gonna say I don't think
I don't think after getting our heads beaten in with the metal head that were
to worried about these cuts some of them you do find to be hostile but they're
already really beaten up and bad did it could be easily subdued you see the
model the large monolith in front of you the arcane clock tower
Dom are you know that when this place was bright to the clock towers flash blue
orange yellow pleasant colors before the past week and a half it's been simply a
monolith forever it's our and men enhanced forever on a time when the moon
turned red
you seek the entrance to the clock tower seeing that the scene the maintenance
the door for the maintenance workers just a simple wooden door the building so
grand but the entrance is anything but
who's hand in first me Jean-Claude you walk in a chill is immediate as you walk
in you look up to see the multitude the absolute just the absolute majesty that
is the grand spiral staircase that loops hugs the walls that goes all the way
upwards and are and arcane relay line that would be activated it makes its way
curls its way up the middle of the place Dom are you know that this this
relay line would help people with wheelchairs to ascend built by brand-rigged as the as
you look up at the staircase you see you see hanging rope wrapped around its
ankle and automaton hanging from the very top hanging dangling up there much
like Farley is and you see as your eyes cast downwards directly in the middle of
the steps looking downwards right at you at automaton with one red glowing eye
it has two daggers in its sheath on its hip and a large like and a large and a
large bow on its back seemingly like of an exceptional quality on a quiver
that's on its it's wearing on its side it has multiple like crossbow boats
aeroboats and and even large like hanging onto its side not sorry on its
side hanging against the wall place gets the wall our ballista bolts it wears a
cloak and has its hood down and has a hood down but it looks different it
looks different from the k4 models it has no definable human features no mouth
no nothing just the eyes smooth smooth face everything it's wearing clothes and
it's looking down right at you Jean Claude he's very focused
I'm
not afraid
and says
so
would you like to tell me how you know my niece
it leans down
and like like I said before these things don't breathe but you hear takes a deep
breath before we get into that
Jean Claude
he pulls out both the daggers
and just dangles it over one's a rusty dagger and one's completely clean sharp
shiny
if I were to stab you with either of these which one's the scarier one
you
think daggers Gary
want to know what I think is scary
getting a little girl fucking ripped from her home from her family
enough of your games how do you know her what do you want
she's the dagger humans live life in the pursuit of something greater
and the things that make them fulfilled happy
they hunted down with everything that they have
I want that too I want it with all of my heart
you are hunting down something that you've lost
Sylvie
I feel it the most out of everything in this town there is nothing stronger
looks down at you
I want to hunt her down too
I'm not hunting her I am seeking her out
that is my oath
take a point of inspiration
stack those inspirations
which dagger is scarier
why
a sharp knife goes in clean but a rusty knife it infects the wound
iron rust
it decays
everything in life is designed to end including me
I haven't been given anything no purpose no drive
that is why I will take yours
you are seeking Sylvie
this person that is so important to you the oath that you wrap around your arm
I want that
I want all of it it's mine
that's why you called me here
so
how are we going to do this
you want what is mine
what's already mine then you will know she is a most beautiful gift
and a sweet girl
two heads are better than one as they say
are you prepared to love are you if you want what is mine are you prepared to
lose I don't know what losing is like you will know if you love
all of that you can have cuz that is mine
you want love with that loss it reaches towards a ballistic bolt
I want what is yours
but you don't I want something so great that losing it would be great and that I
would feel
you want to be my shadow
this sad I would wish for you to find your own dreams to see but if not well
shall we as his hand reaches for the axe on his back we shall and that's where
