Thanks for listening.
Oh and to prove that we're live, someone type something in the chat and we'll read it back.
Tim I love you!
I love you too!
Tim!
Well what JT said too would have worked for your bit because it's actually really nice.
Oh okay.
He said they're back, the best people.
The best people.
Tim!
And he types right afterwards.
Thanks JT.
Oh Timmy.
That's how he'd say it.
Exactly.
Oh goodness.
Hello everyone.
It's been a while.
Hello everyone.
It's been three months since we last played Lanaya because we've been focused on one of
our anthology series, the Blackguards Gallery.
It says a pirate's adventure following the motley crew of the Blackguards Gallery, which
was kind of fantastic.
I don't want to toot my own horn.
You should.
Good job Timmy.
I will toot my own horn.
So yeah, three months.
That's a quarter of a year, which putting it in perspective like that, it feels so long.
We have been, this channel, we have been able to have subscribers for six months now.
So just so you know, we've been streaming for like seven months.
It does not feel like we've been around for half a year.
No, I think we just started still.
It feels like we just started.
It does.
It does, it really does.
But hey, so much more to come.
So much more different, so much more different series, so much more TTRPGs being represented
on the show, and so much more great fun adventures.
Hey, JT, JT, ban that guy.
Don't actually do that.
I'm just kidding.
Hi chat.
Hey chat, whatever.
Down with Tim.
Revolution.
I missed chat.
Yeah, me too.
That's probably the biggest thing I missed from prerecording is I like looking at chat.
I missed chat too.
I threw an axe, I threw a throwing axe at them and I completely missed.
If I had hit, you guys wouldn't be here.
So yes, I missed you.
He's gone mad with power.
Aren't you supposed to be DMing right now?
I am not DMing right now.
No, no, Albert.
Oh.
So, so we, so just a quick, a little quick announcement for us.
Black Guards Gallery, we were sponsored by Level Up Advanced Fifth Edition by the people
over at End Publishing.
And we adored the system so much that we decided to convert our very own, very own home campaign
of the Lena Expedition on over.
Now, I know change is really like, it's nerve wracking and things like that, but I assure
you, we all assure you that Level Up A5e is very familiar enough with some very new and
very exciting things that we can't wait to show you.
We just got buffed basically.
We got real buffed.
Yeah, they got super buffed.
But that's completely okay because those Bullywooks are also going to be super swell if you ever
fight them.
But you don't have to worry.
A lot of things in A5e are in a very familiar language as Fifth Edition, but there will
be some new little tidbits and additions that I think was not too much of a leap to like
know what we're talking about when it comes up.
So we're really excited.
I think if we didn't tell anyone, no one would notice the difference.
I can say the characters are still very much the same.
Yeah there's just going to be like maneuvers and someone is going to be like, what's a
culture check?
So yeah, that's about it.
That's about it here.
Super excited to be going back into this grand adventure with our dear Cecilia and Jean-Claude.
Jean-Claude!
Who are they?
Who are these people?
Who plays who again?
I am Jenny Sherrard and I play Cecilia Idlewind.
And I am Emma Roscoe and I play Jean-Claude Bushcon.
And Timmy, what's your new bit?
What's your new bit?
Hey guys, hey everyone, I play the LW.
The Loreweaver.
The Loreweaver!
Hi Dragmire!
Dragmire!
Oh my gosh!
But yeah, we're going to do an actual recap of the main story because it's been so long.
And we need a reminder.
Yeah what happened to this game guys?
Can you guys tell me?
Am I supposed to go?
Who are we?
I can talk about Cecilia if that'll help.
And I can talk about myself.
So Cecilia Idlewind is an 18 year old girl from a small village who lived with her father
and her older sister, Delmyra, who is an adventurer.
Like a chosen one of their goddess of the moon.
And Cecilia likes to study medicine and books.
She's very bookwormy and she likes learning about healing because a few years ago her
father ended up caught up in kind of like one of these like villain schemes.
Nobody knows exactly what it was.
Some sort of like alien looking creature.
And while the other people who were kidnapped from the surrounding villages turned out okay
afterwards, her father never woke up.
So Cecilia takes care of their dad while her sister continues to go out and adventure.
And so her sister returned home in the first episode of the game after like six, seven
months.
I don't remember how long.
A long time.
Yeah, it was a long time.
And she returns home and only to find out the next day when an old man injured rides
into town with this box that she will have to go take this box to the other end of the
continent to Andoroth in the Salarian Empire because this box holds fragments of the moon
in it that have fallen down to earth.
And so Cecilia is mad about it.
She's upset about it because it sucks.
And so she also has been wanting to get out.
She doesn't want her sister to run away for numerous reasons.
And she looks at the moon shards while her sister is catching up with her boyfriend.
And the moon shards speak in a voice that she thinks maybe her mom would have sounded
like and say, oh, I want you not your sister.
So specifically not your sister.
You take me to Andoroth.
And she goes, you know, I was already thinking of it.
Sure.
And so she gives her sister something to help her sleep more, steals her stuff and runs
away.
As where she meets.
I just love that.
She steals her shit and then she's off.
Just she's such a good sister, helps her sleep and then you know.
And then knocks her out, yeah.
Where she meets.
A scarecrow.
Hello.
I'm going to give the scarecrow's backstory now.
I'm kidding.
Oh, that was truly terrifying.
That was episode two or was it one?
It was a two.
One episode one was a long use at the very end of the episode, the scarecrow.
Yeah.
So Cecilia on her journey, you know, she begins her journey.
She gets cornered by this animated scarecrow that attempts to drown her, which was terrifying
for the play, just terrifying for the players.
Who she didn't know who would be joining her journey was Jean Claude Boucheron, a middle
aged furbolg man who was a herald in A5E, who secretly was a time traveler.
He is from about, I think we said, was it 100 years ago?
How long ago was it, Tim?
It was from.
Remember things.
I think it was 200.
It was a really long time ago.
Oh, it's probably in my notes.
It was from a certain period backwards.
He time traveled because his little niece Sylvie was kidnapped by a fae creature and
this fae creature was known to kidnap.
Why do you have my resume, Tim?
What's the matter?
I saw it.
I just looked up and saw Emma Romasko.
It's just notes.
I saw you flip the page.
I'm going to go to Pennsylvania and burn my resume.
I'll have you now.
I also have a page with the audio files on the website.
It doesn't work when I press it.
I'm going to delete everything.
I have no internet.
I don't want to know what else you have.
Oh gosh, I wish Kendra was at the talk.
I had stuff for her too.
I found a note about your time travel.
200 years.
200.
Okay.
Oh my God.
I love how everyone in the chat.
Thank you guys.
Oh God.
Okay.
So 200 years ago, he's got taken.
Whatever.
No shit happens.
Jean-Claude went after his niece and was trapped in the Feywild for a bit of time.
As we know, five seconds from the chat is saying, Tim pulls out Emma's baby pictures
from his wallet.
Well, actually, if we can.
We contacted your parents.
Happy Mother's Day.
And your old high school.
Here's my diploma.
Oh my God.
I was looking for a mezzo-soprano.
I'm deleting my website just so Tim can't look at it.
And he ended up here.
Timeline where he is a soldier or the groving guard.
The groving guard is, oh, pause.
No, I'm just unfocused on the camera.
His camera.
Oh, his camera's unfocused.
Which is essentially the park as a park ranger.
But he treats it like he's the general of an army where he ran into Miss Cecilia Eidlewyn
and decided to join her on her journey and save my life.
And they they've become their friends now, their buddies.
And because he wants to help this young woman, he also hates the moonshards, doesn't trust
them, thinks they're evil.
The end.
I'm fine with them.
I like she likes them too much.
That's where we're at.
I started sleeping with them to my chest until I got a weird vision in the last game.
Oh, that's right.
I guess.
Oh, recap.
The the freaking last game, which was I remember what happened.
So you know, um,
I should quickly F's, F's, F like surgeon one.
For those who are listening, just type in a recap command on stream.
I wrote it three months ago.
And then the last session, well, the session before the last session, we had this nice
heart to heart where we talked about all these nice things, you know, about our personal
feelings and things and our besties.
And um, but then the next session, while we were staying in the inn where that we cleaned
up, well, we did not help.
We did not help.
We did.
We, we assisted her emotionally.
Other than that, nothing else was done.
We played the cleaning up game and it didn't clean anything up.
But Cecilia had a vision of Claude's niece Sylvie hiding from a hag and a mysterious
entity who appeared under a pale red moon.
I went to reword this some new words, but I'm actually just reading the recap.
Do it, do it.
Upon waking Augustus, who is an Andrew sphinx that we found in our bag.
I loved him so much.
He was now a cat, but he used to be a sphinx.
He told me that it might've been a premonition of the past, present or future.
And he was also like, or it could have been a dream.
It probably wasn't a premonition.
And then he was like, he kept telling me, he's like, maybe it's a premonition.
Why is it such a big deal?
Why are you freaked out about it?
Who cares?
I was like, of course I'm freaked out about it.
You sound crazy right now.
Stop worrying about it.
And we learned a lot.
Actually, I have notes we learned about like this Thariz dune, this chained elemental who
was stuck on this plane where Malar, the god of savagery was sealed away also and stuff.
And that was related to it.
There was like this alien creature I saw appeared on the moon and this hag and it was, it was
wild.
Sorry, this probably makes no sense.
It's very scattered because I barely remember it.
But then we continued on and we went through a swamp and we met basically a young boy scout
who had lost his chaperone and we found these bully wugs who surrounded us and tried to
like threaten us, but they weren't very scary and they weren't actually going to hurt us,
we realized.
And so we continued to pass and we're like, okay, we're bringing this kid back home because
I don't want this kid to die in the swamp.
And then we'll go look for his chaperone, I think is what we said last time.
Yes.
And yeah, I remember the game.
And we remember what we're doing.
Absolutely.
We left off midday.
That's the best time to leave off for three months, right?
Oh goodness.
We just picked up a game like three ago.
We left off like two years.
So hey, we're in the business of getting dropped in the middle of a mental desert and trying
to figure out where to go.
Oh, DragmireDraws asks, so Jean-Claude isn't a Paladin anymore.
So we're playing level up advanced with edition now.
And they changed the name of Paladin to Harold there.
So it's like the same idea and everything, but it's reflavored.
I was gonna say it's all basically, you know, a5e is really, it is the foundation of 5e.
So I still have Divine Sense, I still have all of these things.
But what's really cool is that I get more knickknackies.
Like you get more things and more specific, which we'll show you we play through.
We get more specific.
We love is like combat maneuvers, which is basically like for fighters, for, you know,
it's the more melee range stuff gives you more flavor than just like I shoot my arrow.
You have like so many different ways you can shoot an arrow now.
Yeah.
And I think our title of the stream still accidentally says Dean D5e.
Unless it's an update on my end.
But which we'll just have to fix next time.
But yeah, it's exciting.
Like monks, for example, too, are also name changed.
The monks are like, are like adepts.
They're new classes, which for our Marshal, like Marshal we played for, was a captain
in our Black Guards game.
There's a lot of new cool stuff that just builds on, you know, kind of what we already
had crafted.
Yeah, adepts with an A. A-D-A-P-T-S.
Like they focus on like honing their body and stuff rather than having to necessarily
be from a monastery.
They could be, but they don't have to be.
And I really like that.
Yeah.
So.
Do I sound staticky to you, Timmy?
Because you said I said staticky.
Yes.
Sounds staticky to me, too.
Yeah.
Darn it.
Well.
Today's episode of We're Doing Our Best.
Oh, goodness.
This is nostalgic.
I missed the technical problems.
If you guys can give me one second, I have to run and say something real quick to someone.
Oh, no.
Man.
Okay.
Well, I've had this problem in the past.
So if it's not fixed for me turning that off and on, what I have to do is I have to completely
reset my Discord.
So I will be back.
So guess who's going to host the stream now?
The overlay is going to be completely messed up, by the way, when I leave, because it's
going to like line you up weird.
So well, you'll hear my voice.
Emma solo sets and take control.
I'm taking the helm.
If you screen share something, if you screen share something, it'll actually go to be correct.
So you can do the Emma show.
Oh, damn it.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Goodbye.
I was going to do the Emma show.
Jenny had to restart.
Oh, you're you're both people now.
Uh,
No, this is not good.
There is no face.
It's just both your arms.
I know.
I'm watching the stream.
Welcome.
This is my this is a preview of my next character to come.
Ethereal money arms.
I hear they can't get you.
Lord Almighty.
We're just waiting for Jane to turn back her computer on.
But yeah, we're excited.
We're pumped to be back.
We've got a lot of stuff coming up.
We're really going to try to support a lot more indie streams to actually a quick little
preview.
Tim and I are going to be playing a new system next Sunday.
Yeah.
It's going to be two player dark academia, dark magic, dark academia, no DM needed.
No DM.
Just the two of us.
Two players, one tarot deck.
Oh, yeah.
A lot of fun.
Two players, one tarot deck.
That's what I'm going to name the stream.
What system is it?
Changeling?
No, I haven't heard of changing.
It's actually a road written by someone we played on our stream recently.
Yes.
Cassie Mothwin, who we played Clean Spirit in a couple episodes ago, has released a new
system after a very successful crowdfunding campaign.
And we are very excited to play it.
Just for the off week and we will continue with our usual typical programming.
Yep.
But we just want to keep on pushing.
I wonder if I move my...
Nope, it doesn't matter.
I wonder if I move my face one way if I just keep my arms like this.
It looks like that one like freaking like TikTok filter.
Oh, there we go.
I didn't test to see if it helped.
It did.
You sound better.
I used to get this problem every time I used Discord.
Years ago.
It stopped.
It hasn't done it in years.
And so we are back.
To capitalize this, capitalize this for a preview of Sunday.
Emma, name a number from one to like a thousand.
Pref between like one to ten.
All right, we'll do eight.
How about eight?
Can you do four?
Oh, sure.
Let's do four.
Okay, perfect.
I have drawn the Queen of Cups.
There's so many cards.
What the heck?
I don't think I don't think the game uses this many cards.
Oh, did you tell them?
Did you tell them we are off of Linaya for the next two weeks?
Yes, that's where we're capitalizing.
Okay, pulling cards.
Oh, changing is the same system as Vampire 5e.
Cool, we got to check it out.
All right.
Before that, we've got Bullywogs to chat to.
We got Vixen Dissidition.
Level up.
Advanced fifth edition.
Okay.
Not sponsored this time.
Speaking of advancing.
Not sponsored this time.
Speaking of advancing.
This is, I'm pretty good at this.
Shall we?
Shall we proceed back?
Onto the road.
You said you're good at it.
Shall we proceed back?
Onto the road.
Onto the Linaya.
Shall we proceed back?
To the Linaya road.
When we last left off, our intrepid duo had just ventured into Lundi's Marsh, a tepid
swamp area located close to the coast of Cadvarum.
It is there that these two have to travel to move past in order to continue onto their
journey on the Linaya road towards the city of Ondoroth.
It is here that they met a young valor scout, a young member of the Adventurers Guild named
Yim, who had lost his attendant, his scout leader.
It is through this that the two decided to pick him up and to drop him off in the nearby
town of Lundi's Acre.
After escaping the clutches of the Bullywugs, no quotation on the Bullywugs, the Bullywugs,
the two continue to make their tracks on the Linaya road.
With that, shall we head back?
End of stream, actually.
And that's where we'll end tonight's session.
That's our catch up stream, everyone.
We talked for 25 minutes, but it is warranted because it's the first time in a long time.
I was going to say, I think this is fair.
It's very warranted.
I love this.
I love a lot of technology stuff, my cursor just completely disappeared.
You don't need that.
Theater of the mind.
There we go.
Their stats all won.
Except for the little boy, because I don't want him to die.
I need my cursor.
So I can see you.
I can play music.
Oh yeah, I like music.
You could just sing.
So as you travel on the road.
That will work really well.
As you travel.
I hope Tim rolls all of one's.
Mr. White, I will see you after class.
So Cecilia Jean-Claude.
The sun is high.
The sun is high in the morning as the early wisps of morning air is broken apart by the
heat of the star that hangs in the skies above.
And something that is a new feeling to you, perhaps, Cecilia.
And maybe for you Jean-Claude, it's welcome, nostalgic, or something you don't like,
but it is humid in this place.
In fact, around you are hanging vines that just kind of lap around, loosely around trees.
Packed mud with sheens of puddles of water on top of them and the endless, endless sound
of crickets in the distance.
Frogs jumping on top of barely kept together blocks of mud.
You're in a swamp.
The books didn't make it out to be as cool as it was, and it never showed it to be cool,
so this is what you're expecting, really.
But there is someone who is happy on this wagon.
Yim.
With his little sash with a couple of buttons on there that has like illustrations of something.
One of them has a pair of hands cupped with a frog jumping out of it.
He is sitting at the back of the wagon kicking his feet as the wagon pulls along towards
the Loonies' acre.
Jean-Claude, you're the one who's driving.
And Cecilia, you're in the back, watching as the bullywugs that you've encountered disappear
over the horizon.
All of them collectively croaking at each other and most of them communicating with
big shrugs like, okay, we gave up.
Yim, who was kicking his feet off the back, looks at you, Cecilia, and he goes, so where
are you from?
I'm from Adelera.
Have you ever heard of it?
No.
It's closer to the coast.
It's west of here.
That's really cool.
Yeah, it's really nice.
You should come visit sometime if you get the chance.
Oh, really?
I haven't really traveled out of here for that much, like ever.
Me neither.
Is this your first time here?
Yeah, it is.
Are you an adventurer?
Yeah.
Well, now I am, since I'm adventuring right now.
Where's your badge?
That makes me an adventurer.
Badge?
What rank are you?
Do I know what he's talking about?
No idea.
Well, I'm not like that kind of adventurer.
What do you mean you're not that kind of adventurer, looks to Jean-Claude?
Are you an adventurer?
His hair that's normally dark and curly and closer to his face, because of the humidity
of the swamp, has full-on poofed out, and he is looking very annoyed, very sweaty.
He raises his eyebrow and goes, no, I am just a gloving guard captain.
Rolls back his shoulders a bit.
That's not as cool as an adventurer.
Actually, it's very cool.
I didn't have you know.
He's kind of adventuring now.
It's just like kind of like a side job, I guess.
You see, adventuring is for all the free of heart, but I...
And he smacks his metal armor so that it clang, clang, clang.
Hits himself a little too hard.
I have a sense of duty to those who wander through groves, to those who seek guidance
by...
Is it dark out?
No.
It is very light.
The moon's sunlight.
You see, it's a top secret, really.
I can't go into it much more, but don't worry.
One day, you too will be able to do what you know.
Occasionally.
Hi, we're Films.
Wow.
Hello, Indy.
Looks to...
Looks to see, he's really cool.
That's right.
Yeah.
I've heard that a lot of times.
People say it all the time, everywhere we go.
He's...
You see his giant, puffy hair?
He runs a finger...
He's trying to be super suave, like in those romance novels where he just sweeps his hair
back, but it's so poofy that his hair gets stuck in it, so now his hand's stuck in his
hair as he's like...
Oh yeah.
Child, you are infecting me!
Sits down against Cecilia and goes, well, if you two aren't in the Adventurers League,
maybe after we stop by the House of Waffles, we can stop by?
The House of what?
The House of Waffles.
We have one here.
It's really, really good.
I've never gotten to go to the House of Waffles, but Delmira used to tell me about it all the
time.
Her done.
Okay.
Her done.
House of the Waffle, right?
Her done, everyone!
Your leader, he points to the little boy, is missing and you want to get...
I think we should find her so that she could enjoy the waffles too, no?
I agree, actually.
Well I'm told that food is really important and like...
I'm so hungry.
Oh my god.
Can we stop by and can you...
Is there a drive-thru?
Can you buy this for me?
A ride-thru?
Okay, where are...
Where are they?
We're gonna drop them off at the house of waffles.
Where are they?
We're gonna drop them off with your parents.
How about that?
Oh, I don't have any parents.
Do you have a guardian though?
I stay at the adventurers league.
Oh shit.
Um, do they feed you?
Yeah!
Oh good!
So we can just stop in there!
With my badge we have a 3% off at the house of waffles.
No!
Especially 5% off the kids menu.
Okay.
You know, I...
He looks at Cecilia.
Because we stopped really quickly I guess.
We're stopping really quick and then we're out.
I guess usually trips tend to be a little bit long it sounds like if you want to hear
the whole story.
I... we really, really don't need him to be with us that much longer.
You know what I mean?
Like let's go get you some waffles.
Oh I've heard that one before.
Oh no!
Well he meant just because... so that we can find the... your... the willa.
Yes.
I bet Willa's...
I bet Willa's safe.
She's probably back at home.
Yeah that's why we should check there.
To make sure.
Cause she's probably really worried about you.
Okay.
The waffles are really good.
So tell me...
Okay I got it.
Where?
Where am I going?
Where?
Put me to where the house of waffles is already.
Where?
Oh okay.
I'm gonna go that way.
Pointing like the road that is just straight going forward.
Um.
Eyes starts to twitch ever so slightly but manages to keep himself composed.
Okay.
Can I touch your ears?
What?
Can I touch your ears?
You see the slowest head turn as Jean Claude locks eyes this child.
No you cannot just touch someone's ears.
It was polite of you to ask though at least.
Sometimes kids just touch without asking and that's really rude.
That is true.
Thank you for asking.
No you can touch.
Reaches into the bag of holding and pulls out Augustus.
Here look.
Look cat you like cat.
How's the cat?
Augustus seems like confused for a moment.
Meow?
She tries to whisper to Augustus if he pets you you purr.
Hi little kitty.
Purr.
Yeah he's a very special cat.
Oh he's a real weirdo.
No no no no he's special he's special not many kids get to pet this one let me tell
you.
Very very special.
We have a weird cat at the adventures league too his name is S'mores.
Aww what a cute name.
Hold on is S'mores related to marshmallow biting chans?
No.
Tim?
No.
Tim.
He's still standing up and talking and fighting too.
So you venture forward as time passes it gets harder and for you Jean Claude this is the
worst possible thing that can happen to you.
Armor too.
It's hot it's disgusting.
We're both heavy armor people.
We're both heavy armor we're dying.
But eventually you do see the signs and there are posted wooden signs that seemingly direct
you and inform you of your distance your encroaching distance to Lundi's acre.
You're gonna say the house of waffles.
I was gonna say the house of waffles.
It's clearly our destination.
It's at the house of waffles which is a chain is located.
Yeah I will catch Jean Claude up a bit too.
Delmira used to stop at them all the time because there's a lot of them along the Lanayar
road.
What is this?
Well so from what she's told me they are like this nobility themed restaurant.
What?
But they have like a continuous story between all their locations and like different houses
between breakfast foods.
Which like apparently Delmira says it's actually like kind of dark sometimes like there's been
big twists sometimes.
What the fuck?
Hold on there are stories connected to the waffles connected to the what?
Yeah the house of the waffle that title one because you know the waffles are really a
really strong house like they used to be the kings or something.
That's just what Delmira told me though.
Oh god well last time we interacted with someone that was named after breakfast food it was
the crazy druids and honestly I'm a bit still scared from that so what were they called
again something maple syrup?
Maple fritters?
Yeah those ones.
That happened yesterday didn't it?
Man!
Time flies!
Um yes?
What?
To what?
They're crazy druids and they were named the maple syrups and what was that?
That's top secret kid.
Don't tell me we're speaking in code.
We have a top secret mission and so all the things we say are really secret and you won't
understand.
Nope.
And you can't tell anyone?
No.
Can I tell s'mores?
We have to meet him first.
Tear your cat?
No no we've been as I mentioned druids uh let's meet s'mores first.
Yeah let's vet him.
You hear that Augustus?
You gotta keep this top secret.
Yeah meow.
Augustus seems so annoying.
And then venturing further you see that the sides do split there is uh you know the sun
leading to Lundy's anchor but underneath it there is like a like a little footing um
and it's and it says you are says you are encroaching on to the Lundy's house of waffles.
Oh Jesus Christ.
Okay.
And then he says we're so close oh I haven't eaten there in a long time it's gonna be
so great.
Is the food really that good or you is it just like you know decent?
They have something called a grand slam you have to throw it into your mouth to eat it
so you have to slam it into your mouth it's great.
That's what?
Yeah biscuits and gravy and eggs and it makes this great sound when you when it hits you
in the face.
We're going to be attacked.
Okay great.
Great yeah this makes sense.
As you're killing the chat chat is off.
Timmy and I made this up back when like House of the Dragons started coming up and we kept
it secret for that long and I totally forgot about it but Timmy didn't.

okay and then uh you could talk to my
i never mind don't bring out aphiis
i miss lana yet again these two people are entrusted with bringing the moon to the yeah
this is yeah just reminding the folks at home
we have moon shards in my pocket i have moon shards right here and
oh gosh you too um the journey continues um unfortunately this house of waffles was
a stinker but maybe the next one will actually my god chain is cursed so you eventually begin to see
the um the faint image of a uh of a civilization that begins that begins to get fully realized
as you um as you draw closer um past the past the weeping willows and uh and the trees in the swamp
you see that the that the mud packed road eventually goes from soft to uh hardened and cracked
as you are travel are now traveling on too much wagon friendlier roads seeing ahead of you um
a a large town built on a rolling uh says a steep uh ever-increasing hill uh straw a straw roof
star roofs uh cone-shaped houses um and uh you that are neatly uh packed neatly packed together
um you begin you see as you draw closer you can you can finally read what's on the very old
seemingly like very scrap a very scratched up and cracked signed loondies acre
let me see i think this is this i haven't seen this playlist in a while i had a loondies song
oh it's some gentle acoustic
okay i think that's the one um i feel like i'm back at my acting job from last year
i'm gonna say i was gonna say like southern town it is uh i miss nalyn sometimes um
nalyns i grew up in the south so um
immediately as you as you draw in um this is a town unlike anything you guys have seen it's a
it's a it's a tightly like packed town um mud uh you know like there's muck um there's muck
everywhere but there is a semblance of like organization of buildings here and especially
as you come in you see that this town is mostly um you see humans and halflings um and and it is
very it is marked by a high degree of friendliness because like almost everyone you see um you trade
who you trade eye contact with gives you a gentle friendly wave and a lot of them sees yim goes
hello there yim um and he he just everybody he just has everybody named hey adrian um and um
you get the sense this is a very tightly knit community uh um small but mighty
but you eventually begin to follow yim's direction uh having to actually like maneuver your wagon
onto like logs like place the logs that um that can carry you up that carry you up the muddy hills
um until eventually you see a building that seems a little out of place where every everything is
kind of like uh like ham like hand-packed like like homemade sort of like buildings with strong
stuff this one is i bit my tongue fuck this one is a like a full on like like three tiered building
of like modern sort of like architecture brick and um like long windows this is this is the
builders the builders the biggest building i bit my tongue fuck and biggest
this is the biggest i've been my tongue and and i'm sorry are you is your water no i'm just salivating
i'm just salivating a bunch because my tongue was really tasty uh let me get my little bit to watch
wow sylvia uh oh jesus cecilia whoa what a slip up there uh what's a big building that these
uh what's a big building that is the buildingest of the buildings it is really building-esque
it is very building-esque quite a tight knit town it seems it looks like it was built and i guess
that's what it takes to make a building yes it's building yes yes building building um
um can you guys come with me um to do what yeah sure that's probably a good idea too to see if um
to see if um willa's there or unless she looks at john clod this is how i know we're playing lanaya
again a question is asked and he goes yes of course and chongla goes why exactly every time
um i just he goes unless you she looks at john clod yeah sure do we need to drop you off
for site what do we need to do i just you should just talk to the um the maven and uh tell them and
maybe you two can be adventurers too we'll be our adventurers yeah we're already set well good
that's cool that's nice of you to offer maybe i'll get a bad a badge out of this
okay you want us to get a badge for you okay that see now i get it fine and he'll park the
you know park the wagon it's all for a profit i got you kids i got you uh what should the bit
which you saved us you know is scouting the elderly what is it recruitment recruiting oh i
don't like that one i've been really i've been really struggling to i've been really struggling
to get that one um every time every time i approach somebody they think i'm they think i'm
ambushing them which i think it makes sense because i keep jumping out of trees onto people's wagons
oh okay one i shouldn't have children recruiting for anything that's a bit culty so
oh we'll get you this badge so you don't have to do this again okay it's a cult nope okay
already getting out of the wagon he's striding in
um as you're getting as you're getting closer to the um to the to the adventurers league um
you do see um i i think you of all people like jon claude knows what this is um the valorous
adventurers guild which is a what is adventurous good that's found throughout all throughout the
not just the region but the continent um an organized like group of adventurers who like
goes out and like um and and you know quests are set like um people could put stuff on a bulletin
board and adventure will help and there's like an organized ranking system and stuff you've probably
seen one or two adventurers uh maybe some of them were like actually like doing good around your
town you were guarding and some of them were like yeah you yeah you save the crops but um
but also you kind of like burn down everything else around it in your fight with the
and with the wolves um so adventures are a mixed bag for you um as you uh as you get closer um
you and as you press your hand on the door i need the two of you to make perception checks
um my passive perception is 21 if that helps i think you just succeed actually
cool um my perception is standard so standard standard 21 that's not too bad oh we're both good
yep very good the two of you as you get closer to the as you get closer to the building you do spot
um so above the entablature of the door there's a there's like a domed there's like a dome shape
um like a second level and you see through the blinds um a set of eyes peering down at the both
of you and as you get near the doors on clod um the window is open and the eyes leave
leave someone has kept watch has watched you it seems okay take note of that quickly looks to see
if cecilia clocked it as well he's just looking up so you know he nods he nods and like kind of
gives her like an eyebrow raise um and goes all right kids uh anything else we need to know about
before we drop you off and talk to your friends he's already like walking towards the door um
okay and he goes oh dean's really cool you're gonna really you're gonna really like him he's
kind of like my dad who's dean oh he's the maven he's the kind of like the boss okay
okay he puts uh you see he puts his hand at the door and he goes it says are you ready
he opens up the door um and you see before you like an empty hall there are it there are like
long tables like cafeteria like cafeteria like tables with like benches and stuff there's a
there's seemingly like a stacked bar on the right and like an an administrator area it's a very
large building um you see uh just sitting only one person there all the way at the other end
an elvin woman uh with a pale pale pale skin slick black hair she's dressed very nicely
you see that she she is just has her like head in her hand just seemingly like very stressed
she she just looks at a big sigh and looks towards the two of you
um and and you see uh yin just goes hi elise where is everyone
everyone um and he and he walks in um and she she does not answer she just kind of sits up
and she doesn't say anything um do you come in as well yeah i think before they'd walk in he
would say very quietly to zetilia let's be careful yeah um yeah yeah so careful and he's very he
points he he indicate he looks to like the pocket where he knows she keeps the moon shards
yeah he holds it yeah um if you look so as you make your way in
all of a sudden you um with your passive perception cecilia you notice now that you're in here
that she's not the only person in here there's actually way more people here
you can sense the presence people hiding behind the bars hiding behind the railings on the second
floor that's you go ahead i'm sorry go ahead um i also now have a specialty in perceiving
invisible objects none of them are invisible but you're just gonna i'm just never gonna be able to
sneak up on you i have to accept that i took that one specifically because she's done it twice in
the game and that just seems too specific not to do you see the elven woman who's clenching her
fist kind of goes hello yim good to see you again hello fledgling adventurers and then you hear a
trumpet as all of a sudden the sound is the sound is filled with like the room was filled with like
laughter as you see people begin to stand up behind the bars empty tanks and they're like
up behind the bars empty tankards and such slamming their tankards against the it's like a
musical number being is like starting it's like medieval times like john clon is an absolute
shock and horror a really large like muscly muscly man like really like bearded muscly man like
orcs and goliaths and like humans are like doing cartwheels as they kind of like jump over the
railings um this is the weather because all the attention seems to be on you uh and as this really
triumphant theme just starts playing as these people are people are busting out these instruments
and you see the big muscly men start going we are the adventurers league and we are in need of
adventurers no no adventure we seek cross land and sea won't you come and join us
and they and the one the one in the front this very like large like like human man with like
a blonde like really turled up mustache unfroze a recruitment uh sheet in front of in front of you
in front of you too
that's what we're gonna go on wow um what we're gonna go on break
oh
we are the adventures league we are in need of adventures i don't want anything to do with these
people yeah you have to learn the whole song no no no nope we are the adventures league
oh my god so we're really going on break yeah we're gonna go on we're gonna go on break time
all right we'll be back everyone we'll be right back with more with more lanaya will we write back
with a a detailed indoctrination no we'll we'll see when we come back you acquire practices on
wednesday at eight hello everyone and welcome back so you guys ready i'm crying
oh gosh oh god here we go love heart stone so
uh where we last left off um the the two of you are um surrounded by just by just large um
large just adventure seemingly adventurous people of the guild um and and a large and a large man
who who is currently positioned in front of like two like flexing like huge guys um has unfurled
this piece of paper which is small in his hands um and the and the music stinger had just hit
and the two of you are they just ended and the two of you are just standing there
and they seem to be just awaiting your reaction and yim is just like bouncing like so happy
wow um
you all did a really good good job i wasn't expecting that wow
oh are you gonna join there's a lot of benefits um he starts unrolling the paper like really kind
of roll it out um and you see and you see elise goes okay everyone break it up um that's enough
you know how to do that you don't you don't have to do that to everyone who steps into the steps
steps into the guild um and you see people just kind of like pushing chairs back they're like
cleaning up but but the man in front of you is just like still like holding up the paper he goes
um he just goes sorry even sorry you guys were already a part of something it's just i didn't
see any badges and you two like no offense you look like fledgling adventures you have the faces of one
so we've been kind of adventuring so um
fledgling yeah that's where you're gonna that's where you're gonna begin badge and you see that
john claude's face has been slacked off like utter horror for the entirety of the dance number
and then when he said fledgling you see like rage start to spark in his eye and he goes
you see the elf woman who's just so stressed just kind of like gestures for you to come over
he holds it back and goes i would like to know a little bit more about your guilds not through
second dance he says as he likes to fix it very just thinking we are the oh no no no not through
second dance wait yam you said you needed us to sign up if you were going to get your badge
well for fuck's sake did it work
well i mean i guess it depends is it like are there responsibilities and things oh no you don't have
to commit yourself to anything i mean you could just sign up and always be a fledgling forever
um but you don't have to like do anything but if you want to be like if you want to have like a
place to stay and food and unlimited drinks at all of the what what oh yeah that's what you get when
you're a fledgling you get unlimited drinks at all of the guilds kind of talking i mean why are you
asking him immediately goes to the bar so what do you have on tap um you see that you see you see the
tiefling man who's kind of just wiping it down like super hard he's he's just like
like we really gotta stop these oh yes we got um we actually have a few specialties in today we
have we have a couple we have like we have like 20 year old mead um there's plenty there's plenty
of sweet stuff across the board there is um bar just barley ale um we have a pale ale actually
which is made out of blueberries um what you see john clod is like slowly almost crawling onto the
bar goes so see you send the paperwork get it done wait um does it um uh so it looks at the
a lease um elvish woman does it cost anything to join do you have to pay like
she's like not what another one of these
things i feel so bad for her
every corporate worker in america you have to carry around paperwork denoting your
allegiance and your membership to the guild it carries all of your merits with it
it's so stupid i'm really glad the unlimited drinks are really
the unlimited drinks works with a lot of people you don't seem that glad about it um i'm ecstatic
oh all right
all right what's your name um my name is cecilia edelwint cecilia she starts bringing out stacks of
papers um she she she's just she she she's like bringing out stacks of papers like getting like
a lot of paperwork actually um you see the you see the man who was holding the recruitment paper goes
says see there at least i got two of them for you and she just goes you speak one more word i'm
going to go to jail like so what does the um the guild do i mean i i kind of like got the idea but
like what specifically the valorous adventuring guild is a is a guild that it spans across the
entire continent of mythren and in some part and in some parts a prevail um what we what we typically
do is um doing doing good and and receiving merits for doing good for the community slaying monsters
and adventuring and answering and answering the help of local communities and whatnot
it says and in the name we are valorous so we reward bravery and songs is that a bad thing
um they're all across the um the continent are they in the in the salarian empire too
oh yes a lot of them well that's where we're going so you can find us in every you can find
us in any every nation uh on this continent um and your merits will carry between each
your merits will carry between each one as she's as she's writing and seemingly citing her name
at least never guard um she's she's writing her signatures on these papers um and she just goes
once we come once you are officially registered to be a fledgling you are given free board across
all guilds if they have available rooms for you free drinks but not food for some reason
which i argue is more important she's writing she's she's when she when when when she says that you
see that her where she was writing it that like she's pushed in so the ink is even more like
darker where it is um she goes you're just gonna you're just just going to be doing really small
things saving someone's cat from a tree going into a dungeon or whatever that's like big league stuff
well we killed a chimera on the on the way here like two days ago
yeah is that like also like fledgling stuff or is that a higher
that's a you know i consider that to be a lot higher okay who did it two of you
you all right you have proof of the kill
no um well she goes well we might have a witness she really what kind of wants to show it off but
is john claude paying attention to this or is he too focused on the bar oh he is fully at the bar
you know sampling each swishing them around like this one's actually this one's actually
local to the loondi it's it's called mud juice it sounds bad but give it a drink all right my
man i am trusting you it's free what can i say and he downs the hatch oh so yeah he's all the distracted
it we didn't take any of the monster or anything but um we i mean we have someone with us who saw
us do it does that count can i meet this person does it matter if they're a cat
they're a cat you're gonna fit right in go ahead
augustus
meow you don't have to pretend to be um i told them you can talk so i'm sorry for just rushing
you into the bag so quickly i just didn't want to scare the kid
i've taken on this form of a of a black feline
just so i may not be scary to humanic individuals is that yeah in a way you talking was kind of a
little scarier though it's a cat it's a talking cat his name's augustus it's a real talking cat
it's a real talking cat i'm just talking with them um is he in a bag of holding
how are you how's he alive he doesn't have to breathe so um
okay whatever augustus you saw us kill the chimera right
he he he looks up towards the desk of where the uh where the oh where lisa's standing
right he goes yes allow me to tell you all about and as he jumps up
he falls backwards again
and he's going to get it i'm going to get it you have to look where you're landing before you land
oh really sorry oh i'm sorry i didn't mean to that was very uncouth of me
i'm just gonna go ahead and write down that you killed chimera and save me a little bit of time
this i think that's still going to put you at a fledgling rank but if you talk to the maven
you can if you talk to the maven at any place they can see about promoting you
how do you get promoted once you earn enough merits um slaps a paper down in front of you
where you see that she writes kill the chimera plus 20 um and to and to promote you need three
points um she goes once you get enough and once the once the maven deems you as necessary you
can go ahead and increase and rank which will grant you extra benefits
because each town has different benefits for what ranking you are but universal benefits of
are found at each guild free boarding discounts on food free drinks which i still want to argue
about but no one has been answering my letters that's really nice i mean not that they don't
answer your letters that's actually kind of rude it is um but it's really nice if they just offer
all that stuff for free yes this looks towards your looks towards john claude um who is drinking
his heart out i'm guessing oh yeah oh yeah getting totally trashed at the bar he goes
in real life in reality anyone could come to inventors guild and and feast and whatnot
because the entire initiative is for helping the local helping the local communities
so that's really great sign your name here
she does is your friend joining i think so otherwise he has to pay for those probably so
sir john claude and so no i literally you like you see this creature holding this young woman's face
under the water and i come in oh yeah oh it was bad it was bad bro and i come in like
it was really impressive completely impressive john claude your your presence is being requested
augustus goes excuse me turns and sees augustus out of the bag
although the cat talks what how crazy he told them oh fuck's sake okay and he comes yeah we
should have talked to that before we're rich okay all right okay what's up and he's got his beer
are you going to sign up for the guild i signed up oh okay quick question fell you at the end
of the day i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry
a quick question for you mademoiselle he says to the elven woman yeah so you know adventurers
a chaotic bunch i'm sure they get into trouble you know occasionally it is i'm speaking hypothetically
of course over my line of work i have seen such things hypothetically if adventurers were to be
wanted you know in other territories you know within the continent sips his beer is there like
you know protections in place or something and you know like i'm just wondering no and are the two of
you wanted no no he's a guard actually yeah you see i'm on the first pussy big dude it is very
odd that you specifically brought out about brought up a point about being wanted yeah it's really
weird that you brought that up is it because yes so strange augustus goes because and john clann
leans down with his beer she whispers to him he does go it is very strange
john clann goes because i am looking for fugitives here and i wanted to see if you you
had any in your care adventurers to me is a term that's very close to serial criminal
but i assure you that disciplinary actions are taken here for any misdemeanor or misdemeanor
causing miscreants are you okay can i get you a drink
now i stopped okay i get it everyone you asked tell you no i think it's my vibe as the kids say
and he turns back she wanted to drink it would be free because she's i know but sometimes it helps
to ask i'm just saying madam you uh a little sad so oh really just a little are you going to sign
up or what okay are you going to pay for those drinks nope are you going to sign up
he scared me says stop screaming i've had enough with the screaming slams the paperwork come here
grabs you by the front and pulls you forward pulls you down pulls you pulls you down pushes
the pen into your hand sign it he's blushing bright red and goes you are a woman of quite
strength uh what do they call you in these i'm going to saw you in half oh my god please please
do pushes your face yes man signs the document and just lays there
not moving still lying there
he get up he turned get up get up
up pulls the paper puts so it's funny the paperwork

congratulations says you says with your continued merits you're going to make a mark on this world
hands that pushes the badges across the table for you for both of you to take
take it this is yours now
john clod's face is is bright dark purple um as he you know reaches down very hesitantly
and brushes her hand as he takes the badge stands behind cecilia captain valentine a little bit
she mutters to augustus who wasn't there for that yet
yeah it just goes how does someone as big as that get handled by someone much smaller than
i am sensing enjoyment
it's it's jane and brooke 2.0 oh no
oh no no yes once the mountain gonna sorry sorry
every chance i get i'm sorry
i'm doing it i'm doing it right now it's lying in half okay everything's okay

um so uh as a TV walk away she just goes congratulations um this
willa willa is here too right she actually hasn't come in in a few days oh so she's not back yet
yeah she looks at shon clod a few days how long were you separated from her yin oh yeah a few days
a few days oh i've been out there for a while and at least kind of like looks between the both of
you goes a while she grabs she goes paper she goes she grabs paper she goes when was the last
time you saw her yes we were out um we were out by the um um it says by the bog it says that we
we brought we brought up camp there and she said she's gonna come back quickly she was gonna get
stuff for the get stuff for the firewood for the campfire and i waited for a few days
and she didn't come back okay uh next time um when they're gone for a few hours you just could
probably go perhaps something probably went wrong got it i'm learning
thank you for telling me that she says to the both of you
both of you uh as he peek this is he's towering over cecilia but he peeks from behind her um and
says uh we also encountered some speak up uh we have encountered some bully logs on the way that
was lately host no i am sweating manly sweat um they were a little hostile so potentially they
might have interacted with this member of yours i think i got that all right so so you interacted
with the local bully wugs they tried to capture us but then they didn't do a good job those are
probably jeremy's bully wugs jeremy's yes
who's jeremy jeremy works for the adventurers guild he is trying right now he is going through
a year-long effort into understanding bully work culture and to um appease them to the look to the
local crowd he's actually made he's actually made progress so far this the community does not does
not abhor bully wugs to to a terrible degree anymore because because that's probably why they
haven't attacked you they're so friendly yeah they acted like they were going to and then
when we caught their bluff they stopped
that's strange they tried to get us to go back with them too
so they were trying to halfway kidnap you yeah
they even like put nets over the horses and stuff and then when we took them off they just let us
okay well we haven't had any reports about that
that i'm gonna have a talk with dean
can you please come with me and speak to the maven about this um sure um if
she looks at shon claude if he's okay he has uh finished crying um and is put on his brave big
boy face and just you know his face is all scrunched up as he's trying to hold his
composure together and just gives a shaky nod yes
whatever she's she just so dismissive just starts walking oh like walking like this follow me um

or was that like flirting okay listen cecilia i'm going to be honest i only read young adult
romance i have no idea about the world of adult romance um i would just given what i've read i
would assume it is purely purely um tyrannical uh but my god did you see how she slammed my head
on the table yeah are you okay dude oh yeah i'm great he has his blushes back on his face
whatever been fuck me every time i introduce an intimidating woman everyone's all over the
thing oh come on intimidating women are hot intimidating women here on songloven show

and give a little bow to elise before he heads into the room
uh my cursor's gone where are they music music not my music this is the only thing i can do
oh i did it my glasses where's my i want my glasses all right let me actually solve this
oh okay it's back now so as the two of you walk inside of this nicely spaced office crammed with
like like books and it's actually like hot like hot in here like hotter in here than outside in the
the tavern uh somehow um you see before you a um a uh a half-orc a half-orc man like a like a
would slick back to the like the salted pepper hair wearing glasses sunglasses inside yes
yes yes um you see that he's uh currently stationed like behind you as he sees you as
he sees you come in this big smile god i comes over his face as i can't see where the music is
and neither can he i can't see shit where the fuck's the music there it is
is and he goes and he goes well well well if it ain't two fledgling adventurers
just coming my way and he and he just goes oh wait i'll come over there to you don't worry
um and he starts wheeling over on like this like this wheelchair um it seems to be like very nicely
like very nicely like modified and will maintain and built um as he wheels on over there seems to
be like a lot of like contraptions and like additions to this wheelchair um like uh like
there's something there's something to like hold like a crossbow of some sort um it's a small
touchstone kind of like hangs on the side of the on the chair what you were saying no i'm just like
this is like an older version of dennis
dennis is gonna work so his glasses and doors are needed yes he would
dennis i'm you from the future vivian cares about you but still she will never let that happen
the thing they fight over the bows it's facts and sense
it's just i just we talk about engines but now i'm the engine that drives forward the groove
um he wheels over holding a hand up to you too
because nice to meet you uh nice to meet you uh the two of you came in here to tell me something
um they told us we should talk to you and then i thought she was going to stay
and then she didn't so um door opens
she walks in clod tenses up
and he looks at you he sees you do that john clod and he goes
and he's like uh seems like you know the law of the land around here already yes so shaky voice
shake hands or like shaking a little bit terrified of this woman kill the chimera but
you see at least no i'm not i'm no lady killer madame that is you look like you spend more time
on regret management and achieving goals okay all right that's a little too close to home okay
okay at least you're not married or anything right
right
he's just trying to check this time and the two of them are just watching they look at each other
she's a good kid you know needed to talk to you about you know look at her look at this cutie
fluffs her hair releases her he just goes why did i come in here um he goes all right so
um i assumed the way you two were acting you guys are a mighty pair right a nice duo
yeah nice nice nice you just you guys came in here
you guys just came in here yourself well we were led here actually we were recruited
by one of your members i love that this was was that good enough did it convince you i
haven't i was in order anyone else yet uh look sister cillia dude it was great
great um nice all right well nice to meet you uh you can go ahead and call me dean
just you don't have to call me you don't have to use the maven title it's it's all right
it's official however and it's proper especially since they're fledglings they need to learn about
and learn about the system are you gonna try to romance daphne basically
like that i'm a little scared now
hey what's not ready for anyone like taffney what's red has four wheels and flies
bye dragmire thanks for coming thank you for grooving along with us crackmire it was a real
pleasure to have you along well sir we were told to come talk to you about a series of events
tuning the bully wags of the territory and one of your potentially missing members
is back over and he goes all right go ahead and give me the details
someone was missing looks to cecilia um so and i just say everything i just said to the other
i don't know why i started with the um so i was just like i was about to do it like i changed
my mind because cecilia would say um i was pretty sure jeremy had a hold on it um at least because
maybe it was a lost cause from the start no no no something something happened
well all right thank you two for telling me this yes i think we can just put that up as a guild
active request for some of the adventures to tackle we were planning on going back and
and looking before we knew there was like a whole guild of people here to do it we can
how it's pretty dangerous that's who you just started how many points is it
just writtenly interested he's already about races already quite
has already got the adventure spirit in here i see i think you're a perfect fit in here
i'm giving you a point just for asking you can't do that he writes it down he did it god
now
i'm just letting just letting the two of you know it seems like it seems like the first official
work you're gonna get it seems like you're already involved typically i shouldn't i shouldn't be
allowed to do this oh yeah that's right you shouldn't but it says seeing as the two of you
have taken on the chimera before it says you're part of the groven guard i can see respectable
people and correct thank you very proud of my position because you can make yourself home here
at any time thank you because i'm gonna go ahead and pass this on to you i'm not quite sure of the
dangers ahead the bully says the bully wugs in this place they used to be they used to be quite
the nuisance but thankfully they were never as bad as the ones in the other areas surrounding us
those ones have coats and stuff and that's nasty business this group they always tended to fishing
and robbing people because jeremy is someone who came over from silver and he's an elf
goes jeremy's his common name he prefers to go by that just letting you folks know and he's he's got
a habit of talking to he says i'm trying to understand monsters for inches he's a lord keeper at heart
oh so here yes chances are
from what i'm guessing jeremy got himself into a little bit of a pickle yes i don't know says i
don't know why the bully wugs are doing what they do they're not fully committing themselves to it
so something's going on because for the past few months jeremy has been the one really commanding
them and telling them what to do in the first place so because my money is that if you find
jeremy you're gonna get a lot of information just as far as dangers go you get says where jeremy's
bully wugs are there's not there's not too many dangers unless the bully wugs start turning tail
even then they're small little guys because but he know how to use traps he got spears and they
get says i get the rocks really well he goes actually also think we've got reports of a uh
a land shark making making the rounds around the swamp i'm sucking your wet
says something called a uh bullet large says large guys not not the most natural either
uh we're not entirely sure like its origins of what it's doing but that's an invasive species
inform me the both of you you gotta avoid that entirely
i i'm missing something a shark that has legs have i ever heard of a bullet you probably read it in
the book i was gonna say his like del mira del mira is fought one yes yeah
yeah she just well well del mira del mira have killed a bullet she says to jean claude a bullet
yeah it's they're really big and they tunnel in the ground and then come up and eat you
that's disgusting but i guess he's tunneling in the swamp then if it's here which is why
uh even less um elise goes the sight of the chimera and the bullet might actually be something to be
concerned about they're not terribly natural creatures but that's our night bullets aren't the
most act aren't the most naturally spotting in the circle of life kind of creature but they're not
aren't the most naturally spotting in the circle of life kind of creature so someone is creating
them and letting them loose in your area is what you're saying that could be it yes but that's
something we'll figure out right now just figure out this whole bully work situation so no one gets
hurt yeah yes uh you asked how many points i'll give you uh for this one
okay minimum 10 minimum 20 10
19 all right 11 you're not supposed to negotiate points maven 10 points
it was no i just like the mug i just like the moxie in this guy i like i really really like him
okay hear me out 17 i am hearing you out i really like it 12 10
10 hold on hold on i know i'm taking a big catch as a gloving god 16
this conversation's ending right now
all right then
11 11 all right 11 do you push exam for 11 at least just goes i'm gonna go to jail
i'm going to jail tonight tonight is the day
um he just goes all right well since your fledglings just gotta keep you updated on
your benefits free drinks discount food the free boarding pick any pick any place you want just for
this just visit the quarter master we don't have one though so the quarter master is also going to
be elise oh no because uh just elise is very good she does a lot of things around here i do
do a lot of things so tired and now we're back with the sylia sick burns it's so funny though
because because timmy's got the sunglasses on still thank you just glaring at me but with the
sunglasses yes that's why i'm so tired oh god oh i didn't mean that in a bad way i mean that and
i'm like oh wow you work really hard that's really impressive way you know like i was really exhausted
to like yesterday too yes tough on the road trying to cut the sally off before she talks about
traveling because of the traveling and the feds camera and that was it excuse me should head out
soon now yes well you can take the time to prepare if you want guys but this is uh there is a sense
of urgency here yeah we should go i think we're we've been all set up for traveling we should
probably go oh and we could leave the horses here so that they don't get eaten by a bullet
oh jesus oh yeah we will uh we will head out we'll be back soon uh your task is complete when you
come back and inform me about jeremy's whereabouts and what's going on anything you do beyond that
it's bonus oh all right you'll be good please your dean which is don't be swift be safe
but above all be valorous
uh uh uh the head bob john claude goes ah yes valorous tries to do the head thing but he
did it all wrong is your neck hurting again i okay sister why i i'm just asking i'm sorry
sorry she's she has a point your neck does i don't mean to offend you your neck your neck
does look like it has some dubious uh has some do you know what i'm like with his knees sometimes
my back is the worst i'm telling you he's a kind of a little older than he looks
okay no i'm not no no no no yeah i can see it no okay and i'm off and he goes out
driving out very angry oh um but he looks at at least but not that much older
oh god damn it cecilia
i get to play so much more with cecilia than with like daphne
yes that's true be silly more um she stops you at least stops you and she gets closer to you
uh cecilia she's she's soft with you she only seems to be really hard glaring around john
claude because maybe because you seem to be more innocent she just goes i just want to let you know
what i said earlier that he looks like he spends more time regretting than achieving goals
i wasn't insulting him i was describing him
well you know um well i
he said he kind of relates but you know and i can see it but i um disagree
disagree well he should do a better job of proving you right and if he can do that
and that'd be better
all right you know he saved my life from um oh no no no no poor girl i was there was this
scarecrow with a shadow demon inside of it and it was trying to drown me yeah yeah um and then
it turned into a much bigger shadow and he killed it with one hit and even though it was
kind of scary and he didn't know me he um kept going with me to make sure i was okay so
i think i think that's kind of you know i don't think that's regretting
i think that's kind of achieving make a perception check i'm making a persuasion check my bad
this got deep as fuck real quick i was just saying just she just i wasn't gonna and then she was just
like well you know actually like i don't really want like when she said that's true and not just
a joke she was like well i kind of disagree oh does this count for my honest soul um thing
get an expertise that in persuasion when trying to tell someone who the truth or i don't think
that really counts it's my opinion but yeah yeah it counts because there's a she's suspicious of
shot clouds okay so i get plus two from onto my persuasion also the fact that cecilia has a
mechanic called honest soul is fucking adorable it's great send me home brood it that would be a 10
she does not seem moved
she just places the head on your shoulder she goes
she goes keep yours says well whatever happens hopefully he keeps that streak up and the two of
you stay safe that's what does that's what we want above all for you all to be safe
all right
now get out there
thank you also timmy yes do i get inspiration from saying yes to adventure
you draw inspiration from sitting out with adventure yes you gain inspiration whenever you
join a new guild or organization travel somewhere new and far from home except a new major quest or
mission okay this is cheating this is cheating this is a broken system it's just it was too
perfect for cecilia not to take the destiny i'm gonna get it it's entire episode to explain
something to new to newcomers um both jonclan cecilia have a destiny which is part of a5e
destinies give you like little sub goals for you to get inspiration points which you can use to
reroll a roll um in this case like an ally can use uh inspiration point to another ally to
reroll a roll they might have failed um yeah inspiration points are basically uh rerolls
and expertise what jenny said earlier um gives you uh what we're doing is that typically in a5e
gives you a d4 area multiple levels expertise they go up d68 but for here we're just doing for every
level expertise it's a flat plus two and my destiny is coming of age so i gain inspiration
for doing things like saying yes to adventure literally her entire motive it literally says
join a new guild or organization travel somewhere new and far from home except a new major quest or
mission which are all things i have done already the biggest above to cecilia her inner goals
i have constant i'm constantly inspired she's constantly inspiring herself i feel so inspired
by this journey guys so you head back out into the um says into the lun the lunis branch of the
valorous adventurers guild um to see uh people uh people drink people drinking and uh a couple of
other a couple of other people like see there are people from all walks of life here um it seems um
like every every like like uh like they like like there's a party of half of halflings and
and a gnome and a half elf seemingly taken to the quest board um things are just going like things
are things are operating like paperwork here speaking of paperwork there's a long line waiting
for release who just comes back it starts oh my god things down um but seemingly like it's a very
social place um and um and yeah as you guys um as you guys begin to um start making your way through
you see the man who indoctrinated you earlier who did the song um kind of like looks out from like
the crowd of people he's singing that with he looks over the halfling which he doesn't he doesn't
do he just kind of does that naturally all the time um he at you too and he just kind of gives
a like two thumbs up like hmm yeah um yes i get an inspiration point now um um anything the two of
you are doing in particular i think we could just head out right john clonter and cecilian goes
i mean i think we should just give it a go don't you think i think so i think we should i think
it's important to make sure she's okay if she's been gone for a few days yes she and maybe it's
not the bully works maybe she you know tripped and twisted her ankle it could be anything
well i hope not if there is a bullet out there sounds like the boldly looks would be better
well we'll have to find out next time on next time
oh
that is the perfect end
you know what in fact i'm kidding in fact that's our session the guy a lot happened already
what happened yeah it might happen yeah okay we'll do an hour talk back right now
oh
emma tell me about what did you love most about the uh song you know uh none of it
the fact that his girlfriend was not involved the fact that it ended and i don't know if this
woman is gonna be his girlfriend she's terrified oh no that's a horror that's a horror shot oh
there's a horror movie i'm gonna get scared oh gosh i didn't sign up for that right now

my phone which i'm using a new setup for my camera for the first time and it just was like hey it's

no more laughing no more laughing
okay
mosey their way across the fucking place i just were walking you say have you ever thought of
pronouncing jc as jook no wait that sounded better in my head is jook like jacque like jook
well i just was thinking j and see jook like jack almost but never mind it sounds really dumb now
why well no if you want to call me i call you cc no okay you can call me jack jc i don't care
is very informal and i mean i i don't know why i feel like jon claude sounds very formal
oh it is a firmer name it is a longer name you can call me whatever you feel comfortable with
i've you've already seen my collection of romance novels i can't really be more open than that
that's it they're all young adult they're all young adult let me tell you the stories in there
are just so much more interesting you know the characters are so much more grounded they are
still figuring themselves out and so then they come together to figure it out whereas in adult
romance like they already know who they are whatever it's boring right perfect people are
boring i want to read about people who are discovering and learning and changing and adapting
you know you're still figuring yourself out okay so cecilia
yeah
you can call me whatever you want
okay
so how do you feel joining a guild pretty big deal i don't think my sister's in a
guild and she's a really good adventurer but it seems really cool and really convenient since we
can just stay there for free and stuff that's really generous free booze and free beds i mean
what's more could you ask for and um the ranking thing is kind of fun yeah tell me about these
points things oh so you got to bout her you know you got to you got to make sure you push these guys
right they are for you a number go hi well at least said that they were not supposed to barter though
doesn't need to know about we don't
know well she saw you do it did you notice uh she came back in
notice nope i was little i like to gamble that's okay it's okay either way tell me about the points
how many more do we need what do we get at the next stage do we get more fun things
well they said that they can get different rewards in different places based on your rank and we are
they had 20 points for killing the camera and then he gave me one so i have one point higher than you
um excuse me well he gave me one point remember i'm sorry i thought this was a group okay oh we
have separate points now do we well i think so i think because we're each signed up individually
even though we work together we both get points together but i see don't worry don't worry i will
make sure i can ask him to give you no no i will learn my own what you have been warned
sicilia i do in i am a master of what i don't know oh well my sister always says idle wind is
is has the word win in it she said it a different way it sounded cooler okay and then he's gonna
like cross his arms someone's got a little map that's good sicilia good for you well it's not
like it's a contest no but now sicilia no good good you should do that more
pump yourself up um
um i
i will win there we go that's not what she said either you know then you say what you want to say
but i think that is the right attitude i mean you've got a lot on your shoulders he leans
down and places a hand on her shoulder only one person can carry certain things and his eyes look
up to the moon yeah i guess you're right i mean i feel like i've been a little more confident now
that like you know we killed the chimera and things and you know um it's i feel like we're
kind of doing a good job all things considered and like this seems like a normal adventurer thing
so i think maybe like all the stuff from before like maybe we're back on track and this can kind
of go more the way like i thought it would in my head so um yeah um i feel more confident good
then this is where of it but do me a favor and he points to her pocket that has the moon shards in it
and do not use those for some time oh no no yeah i just when just if i like really need to no i
just no well i mean hopefully we won't need to but if i need to then you have i think i'm getting
better at it cecilia you have all the power you need without those cecilia what and you see that
he's like a sleep like he's like he's crunched down hand on his lap like knees power is an addictive
thing you have all that you need trust me i think so too except you know there's there's the time
cecilia they actually helped look at me you are more important than you could ever imagine
well i don't think it's bad to use them it's not great well i think i'm getting better at it i think
last time that just given that they are sentient things attached to a power we have little to no
information about i would really prefer this is not an order it is a request that we try to avoid
you know i try to avoid using them it's just if we really need to well we can't we'll figure
only if we really need to like really really need to you're going to agree to disagree
as the conversation and the subsequent search brings you into the night walking back on feet
is a lot you notice how time kind of flies by a bit faster and before you know it the sun has
crissed it over the horizon and it's beginning to dip below taking all the light in the sky along
with it i give you my dark vision with me and i'm also going to give you my
blessing which is slightly different now because we had to homebrew some things since there was no
subclass in a5e so i'm now a lunar cleric and it's similar to what was before but it's homebrewed
now so you now the you have the other one you can see you have the dark vision that i have
and then for my blessing you gain expertise on initiative
and also we can choose i can choose to match your initiative to have the same initiative number as
you when you roll or you can choose to match my initiative oh yeah blessings active oh i love that
okay great so they render expertise so i'm going to give you my blessing and then i'm going to
be render expertise okay cool i'd put it in the chat but it still has a weird name that i was
joking around when i put it in last night so let me see coming of eight no i don't see it in the
chat no i said i would put it in the chat but i again i can here saloon's blessing maybe we
could just call it that i've been so confident keep it as that keep it as that keep it as that
okay so your saloons blessing maybe we just call it that i bet it's a copyright though increases
your initiative to uh i'm just kidding um it's like we're gonna have to call it that in the middle
fight let's do it um i use my saloons blessing maybe we can just call it that
as in franchise
uh john claude your dark vision oh you don't have dark vision but your vision in the darkness
expands um giving giving you insight to usually the um the natural veil of cover that that the
sky gives now you can see uh shade shade like like varying shades of gray that reach all the way i
believe 300 feet i think it's 600 damn it i didn't put it on my sheet oh but it's on my old sheet
let me look you see it's really good i remember lasik eye surgery instantly damn
okay no no no it's 300 300 feet for some reason i was thinking six i think there's a six and another
dark vision thing this one's yeah 300 feet i can't even see normally like 600 feet i was gonna say
i can't even see normally like 600 feet i was gonna say bright light and darkness as if it were dim light
perfect um and it is in this dark but thankfully you guys don't need to use torches and stuff to
give away give give stuff away for you um so i would say that eventually you make it back
to the area out to the area where you were once accosted by um a good few bully a good few
bully bugs um and it's there that as you're approaching that as you're approaching the area
you see you see this the shape of like a the shape of something large sitting in the middle of the
road getting closer you see that it's um an inanimate object it's a wagon laid barren um
did they get someone probably
you get closer um the horses are the horses on this wagon are gone um and the wagon is
the wagon is empty though there's no sign of damage on it whatsoever
so uh investigating it
all right yeah um both of you give me an investigation check please
um both of you give me an investigation check please check my a5v sheet because i might have
something 12 i gain an x since i have since my culture is a wildling and i'm the nightwalker
feet i gave not feet but subclass of that i gain an expertise die on investigation made in moonlight
or starlight oh great yes then you you get to do that all right so that's d4 right after i
straight roll that's a plus two straight plus two can we just always give you moonlight if i pull
up the moon shirt that's just like holding above my head did i roll it we both suck wow that was a
fucking four um so six yeah that's great yeah that succeeds uh okay yeah that really succeeds
um john claude you did drink a lot earlier and yeah i'm trashed but you but you know it's
when you're on you're on but also the the grease you use of this machine is alcoholic so um yeah
and then we're not doing so hot it's okay i will give you both i'll give you both a baseline of
what happens it seems to be like a like a typical com like traveler's wagon there is produce um in
the back it's a hooded it's a hooded wagon um but it does have like a coach for people to sit in um
looking inside looking inside there there seems to be like hastily left stuff there's a bag with
like um shoe like shoes and different clothes and then seemingly belonging to one person a man
probably um and like and you can you can see that some of the produce bags have been torn open
grains of corn and weeds are spilling out of the bag um but other than that like damage on the
cart itself no they might have intimidated someone enough to come with them yes not too many
too not too many signs of wear and tear though which bless that's about that's about it from
from what you might be able to infer um like yeah definitely definitely no definitely no
damage and what ceilidh said is correct like probably intimidated someone
all right well do we see any um tracks or you know uh leading away you definitely do um
and they seem and it actually seems to be um since you jean claude know know very well about nature
i'll go ahead and give you this um you find you you find tracks they're they're obvious in front of
you um says but how fresh they are you can actually like you can actually assume like uh
it's been like maybe a few hours
huh okay it's been a time okay um he'll go all right it's been a little bit of time but
i think we can catch up at least uh try to yeah um you follow them then
you begin to follow the tracks um no check necessary the tracks are there um you're
following the tracks of like what seems to be human uh human footprints um they they're shoes
for a bit and then they turn into bare footprints uh and of course you do see uh uh jean claude give
me a perception check or an investigation um i'm gonna do since i have proficiency
i'm gonna do that what are you gonna do again i'm gonna do sorry i'm looking i'm reading many things
i'm gonna do perception perception please and i get to add oh dirty 20 yeah and i'll add that
plus 22 since in moonlight um your senses attune to the surround to your surroundings you are
currently like keeping looking down and keeping track of the uh of things going on um you do
you do take you do take notice as you are uh as you are walking uh in the tree uh in the trees
up in the trees above there seem to be like empty like a mess like uh like uh bits of bits of plank
held together what twine that like goes from tree to tree um and they seem to they were they were
rather well hidden and but you you do you do notice you do notice that um which points out to cecilia
yeah they were in the trees when they ambushed us right i believe so it seems that's how they
move between them that's when the two of you feel a slight
rumble in the ground okay climb the tree can we can we climb a tree yeah you could climb the tree
both of you give me a five pictures please okay um i'm gonna use intrepid to give myself
on this do you want to reroll it with my inspiration no no you save it i'm gonna
i'll keep that that one i'm gonna have so many inspirations though i rolled a seven
because i used intrepid wow okay this is not this is not going well can i do anything we're both
strong too i know i don't know what happened i don't know what happened i've been rolling so
bad on everything okay so as soon as the light rumbling as soon as that light rumbling is heard
the two of you immediately book it towards the nearest tree um cecilia you begin to make you
begin to make your way up um but uh it's very hard um because there's some sort of like sticky
like sort of like slippery sap on this tree as you just trust as you try as you're as you're
trying to as you're trying to climb in um but but like but you end up just kind of like hugging the
tree and you're a bit off the ground but you you have made like no progress um maybe with further
maybe with further checks you maybe with the checks you will but you're still trying to figure
out like what the hell is a sap for you jean claude um i'm really sorry uh it's okay die
it's okay it's okay the sap takes you by surprise you you almost like with the urgency kind of like
almost leap onto the tree um and as you're and because of like your heavy armor uh and such
you just you just immediately like slide and slip oh and with the uh give me an acrobatic check
he says rip jc
rest in pieces um you said acrobatics yes please
17 17 okay so you so you you you double you double back for a moment but uh but thankfully
you don't land flat on your back and create a huge sound with your heavy armor you you manage
to turn around just fast enough and hold your hands out and soften your landing as soon as
as soon as you land like that
it's louder cecilia you feel it in the tree that you're that you're touching at the moment
and john claude you feel it in the ground that you currently have your hands in uh i'm gonna cast
wind up because
they're really strong and weak okay okay but i'm having a little trouble climbing right now cecilia
so i might have to stay down here me too it's really sticky oh shit
what if we keep moving i don't know though i feel like it it moves based on how we move what if
we just stay still maybe we'll go in yeah they can't see very well but they can sense vibrations i
think okay maybe let's just wait done stand still very like still on the ground like trying not to
move at all only john claude please give me a stealth check normal thank you you have heavy
armor on but you're not moving so it's okay but give me something okay okay
one second i have negative one two stealth so that's why i was like oh thanks yeah you're
on the tree you're good both of our stealth are awful okay
here we go
the seven seven sounds good
there's an almost you feel the rumble come closer and john claude your heart's beating very bad as
you're it is stop it stops suddenly but you hear it in low rhythms
from time to time um going about it goes on for you for like two minutes but for you but it feels
like 20 that's um that's when you see as you're just sitting like kind of like laying there curious
just just waiting it seems to be like going back and forth it feels like it's closer than it goes
away you see all of a sudden there's a geyser like a small geyser of dirt erupt out of the earth but
nothing comes through nothing comes through and you see what seems to be like an antennae
make its way out of the hole oh god and it flex it
are you doing anything john claude how close is it to me
it's it's a little far i'd say it's like 25 30 feet i'm terrified i'm terrified that if i move
it will hear me so he's just gonna uh gonna just call out softly do yeah missy do not move
oh
excuse me you two you see augustus comes out of the past
he was quiet anyway so you just um
um there is very slight movement in the ground
the earth breaks wherever the antenna goes it's like a shark's fin breaking the surface of the
water and it seems to be getting closer towards you john claude fuck all i have are vision spells
turn visibility i can't lilia hold on i oh i was gonna say i think i have a bone i think i have
missy step does that get me no hidden step nope nothing okay yeah he's gonna just slowly start to
to roll out of the direction of the line like coming towards you know just ever so slightly
he's not making big movements trying to make sure it will go right past him i take the iron pot out
of my bag and try to throw it really far away oh god okay oh god you are you are on a tree right
now hold on i am gonna have to i am gonna have to ask for an athletics check from you oh god okay um
do i use my inspiration to gain proficiency with it
nah i'm saying that's worth it nah that's not only plus two it's not very good um
um all right athletic check
11 dc was 10 sixes okay you're holding onto the tree you
toss the pot as it just it spins through the air
lands that like lands doly against the ground like gets stuck in the mud actually
you see that the antenna stops and just retreats underneath the ground it's so creepy
all of a sudden it stops beneath it stops seemingly beneath the pot
a large geyser of dirt erupts into the air um like like a meteorite just smashed like into it but it
erupts from underground as you see this as you see this large like claw swipes at the air um and
against a wildly like grass with the air with these like very powerful like seemingly like almost like
crab like claws um you see you see where you threw the pot it was like next to it was next to a few
trees you see it it reaches around and in its wild thrashing grabs one of the trees and it just
and just and just closes its like claws on it entirely and the tree just falls to the ground
like immediately broken oh my god
seeing that nothing is like since nothing's there it just immediately retreats back under the ground
under the ground jean claude i'm gonna go ahead and say during that moment do you have time to do
something he's gonna try to climb the fucking tree i don't even know if it's worth it to climb the
tree because i could just snap it in half um he's just gonna try to move towards the tree
climb it again go ahead go ahead uh making an athletics check for me uh both both of you go ahead
and do that cecilia your dc is lower because you are a bit more up 10
eight do i get to add no i don't it's just oh my god nope it's just an eight because i threw a pot
wow and lost my grip probably this is it was okay you had one hand on the tree cecilia
the erupt the sun rushes under the ground spikes your heart makes your chest jump and it shakes
the ground you you just see you just kind of like lose your other hand and fall jean claude as you're
making your way up i'm gonna go ahead and give you the reaction because you see you see cecilia
about to fall oh i gotta catch her without a doubt all right this is athletic tricks the game
give me an athletics check please maybe i should have used my inspiration to get
does does powerful build um count where i count as one size larger when my carrying capacity weight
pushing dragging or lifting count at all or not really catching say that one more time so powerful
build um i count as one size larger when determining my carrying capacity weight i can push drag or
lift um does that count for catching or no i'm gonna say you know what we'll say for now yes
yes okay so i'm rolling athletics straight yes um with advantage advantage okay i'll go ahead
say advantage 19 which was needed uh which was very needed cecilia you fall backwards um but you
don't you do not hit you do not get the cold thought of the ground you you are caught in
uh john claude's arms um it's this sudden like uh it's just some evil on your feet uh john claude
that you just kind of like stand there for a moment and you you hear the rumbling again
kind of like not rushing your way like it was going to the bottom but curious going towards your way
uh with cecilia in his arms he goes okay that was a good move but we have to really careful
but i'm a little nervous to try to get to how close to me to the tree you are right next to the tree
i'm going to gently place cecilia on the tree and start climbing
john claude yeah as you're standing there i assume as lightly as you can
and give me a self-check
i'm in heavy armor
john claude yes yes yes cecilia you are gingerly placed onto the tree by john claude
you find your grip and you look back towards john claude
john claude there is a sudden shake of the ground give me a dexterity saving throw
good thing i casted wind up
that one can i give you my freaking inspiration yet do you think it's worth it now maybe i don't
know i want it i kind of worried if like we should save it if this is gonna be a fight
i don't want you to get eaten up to you you're the player yeah reroll it
okay useless oh no useless it's not a nat one but it's it's it's useless
john claude yeah the ground is suddenly is you do not feel the ground beneath you
the ground is suddenly is you do not feel the ground beneath you and for that split second
as you are falling something catches you sharp and and and entwined around your body
as a pair of as a pair of as not a pair a claw comes up and grabs you
um and as it grabs you you all hear a terrible sound as um as you see this ant this creature
with like ant like ant like features um just just just just like very gigantic creature comes out
of the ground and just grabs you and just has you completely grappled i'm gonna have to make it
roll damage real quick um so uh cecilia you you see that um you're right next to it some of the
dirt gets in your face as the ground suddenly erupts beneath john claude and and just has him
grappled uh let's see that take you take six points of slashing damage okay and as you're
grappled john claude you are lifted into the air as these as these crushing claws are like encroaching
around your body threatening to bend your armor um cecilia do you want to do anything um
i would like to drop from the tree i can jump from the tree
now and use my channel divinity which also has a not real name right now
moon to be determined pending um so moonlight
appears and it will heal slash give temporary hp at the start of turns
now heal if you've taken damage and temporary if you haven't
oh okay that's what it is so john john john claude even though you are in pain right now
this um soothing moonlight seemingly encroaches you uh but like oh my god you've never been like
hey being handled by at least earlier was nice this is the opposite of being this is the worst
and he's also screaming because he's been flung up into the air um yeah yeah uh he goes what the
fuck uh but he did cast wind up so he gets advantage on his next attack which he's gonna
take as soon as he can grab his axe okay i'll go ahead and give you i'll go ahead and give you your
uh your action okay so i would like let me look real quick and see if there's any special spells
i want to use um sorry guys i'm really leading what i have
yeah nope i'm just gonna i'm just gonna hit whack him all right hopefully i can smite them
after i whack them this is just a straight hit with my battle axe uh does a 16 hit a 16 unfortunately
does not hit oh boy this is but it's an advantage and i rolled the same fucking number at advantage
cool but do you have the high ground because it's holding you in the air no you don't have any ground
you're not on the high ground you're on the high air so that we're bringing up to an 18
do i have the high ground if you did so as you're just kind of like fusing swinging your battle axe
like your axe deflecting off of it's like very like it's carapace you see that it actually begins
to stand up out of the ground it's tan exterior insect like eyes and large crooked antennae
large mandible claws that are clicking uh together and a smaller set of mandibles in the front one
claw and one almost like a hand like a very what the fuck like like five digits of like almost like
like claws at the end of each finger um this umber hulk rises out of the ground
umber hulk what's an umber not a bullet is that a bullet not a bullet bullets don't have hands
what's the difference jenny bad it's worse in my opinion yeah in my opinion it's worse
okay it rises out of the ground and it it seemingly holds you jonclad like right in front of its face
its antennae kind of like touching on parts of you
you have antenna but i was like maybe it's because someone's experimenting maybe it's
gonna be different no i was gonna say so whoever's thinking these fucking experimentations needs to
stop that shit thank you anera make a christmas saving throw i'm kidding it's not
below is already bad umber hulk thank you thanks anera your experiments really great
great charisma save you said yes 17 yes you succeed um thank christ you see the you see the
eyes of its like it's insanely eyes like it's almost like hex like multiple hexes it begins
the shapes begin to sort of like dance with each other as kind of forces you to look at it but you
may have to like shake it off you almost feel this confusion kind of like began to settle in on you
yeah fuck you we're gonna go ahead and roll initiative okay oh and i get to add something
you get to add two because you have expertise now three for the book
i rolled a six initiative uh 10 plus two is 12 all right
and i'm gonna i'm gonna roll a secret initiative don't tell the players a secret initiative
someone's gonna save us that would be nice this is not that kind of game
uh i was gonna say or it's who's ever controlling the computer okay so who made it
which would be worse so jean claude you're up first you're currently grappled um and in front
of the face of this creature uh yeah i'm a i'm a swing do what i can all right give me a swing
give me a swing hopefully this one hits again let me look real quick look at my channel
oh and you get either six hit points back or six temporary hit points you're picked
oh i'll take the regular i'll take the full hit points back so i'm back in full health perfect
um yeah i don't think i don't think my channel divinities are are gonna help uh attack roll
modify creatures forced to make a constant fail the creature is done actually no i'll do that i'll
use channel divinity flash of brilliance bane um creatures forced to make the constitution
saving throw if it fails the creature done until the end of my next turn so i wanted to drop me
or i can get out of it all right so what am i rolling so you are rolling a con saving throw
con saving throw gotcha need to beat four five fuck yeah um you use an inspiration point i'm kidding
and the crab goes wild no i'm kidding okay uh so technically then you are stunned um to the end
of my next turn and while it is stunned i'd like to use my movement to get out of its claw so i can
get a better vantage point on the ground it typically it's an action because it's done
grow me with advantage a athletics check oh okay that's not one good thing he had it
what is up what i don't know it doesn't want me to succeed today it's all just
just feed okay well it doesn't want me to see either i rolled three twos in a row what i've
rolled a twin initiative a two on the save and a two on the left i've rolled four net ones this
game so we're we're not we're not rolling that high oh man dude well i'm the atomist so you um
so you uh yeah you managed to like wiggle free of the grip and fall directly to the ground um
um you were more than 10 feet up because this thing is tiring it's like it's like it's like
18 20 feet tall give me acrobatics check real quick if you see you know if you see it i'll go
ahead and say no damage for this one 18 you succeed great three point landing yeah and the
axe is definitely you know still in his hands uh i'm not gonna take a bonus action because i've
already used enough and that will be the end of my turn i believe okay so your channel divinity
um this shine this really big flash of light coming out of your um bracelet made by your
um made by your niece um it also affects you can also choose an ally to effect uh to give them a
boon so oh i get both yeah you pick oh my god creatures equal to your charisma oh and so sorry
channel divinity is a bonus action okay cool so that i use my most action then i used my action
to get out okay this i'll make i gave you i gave you that action as a as a part of the bonus
action so you have your you know i'm just being nice and just like oh i still have an action
is what you're saying because it was stunned yeah so you have awesome awesome okay so then that
means that i grant a bonus to ac attack rolls and saving throws equal to my charisma mods at the
end of my next turn so you get plus four um jenny to ac attack rolls and saving throws uh with that
then i would like to use it i would like to swing then um since you gave were so kind to me you get
the benefits of the channel divinity as well i do that's a good point let's go channel divinity
and it's stunned and i get advantage because it's stunned right yes you do okay cool cool cool so
advantage because it's stunned and then i add plus four to that hit yes yep all right cool let's see
what we do well it's an add 20 well that's an add 20 on the first slot and that's it and and i wish
i could divine smite it but that's a bonus action so we're gonna use is it oh it in a5v i believe in
a5v it is let me let me uh i haven't looked at herald and let's do a quick chakaruni let's let me
go real quick i think it is but i will check my sheet define shemite where are you whenever you
hit a creature oh so you can do it you can do it so i can do it yeah whenever you hit a creature
it's not a bonus action excellent so then i will first use that damage and then i get 1d8 damage
on top of that i'm getting flashbacks to the first encounter i'm not ready for it yeah yeah yeah yeah
uh yeah it has a million hit points so it's fine eight plus nine seventeen slashing no it's eight
plus ten yeah it is it yes because it should be max on the second die that's how we that's how we
do our critical rules oh that's right okay so and then i add two more right because of no i don't do
you you do your smite how to mouse mount which is 1d8 dress okay three plus another eight plus
another eight so eleven so uh 29 points of the him oh that's just one hit let's fucking go baby you
three point landing you grab your grab your axe as soon as the as soon as the shine of the light
like emplacements your axe the mud flies off of your axe you swing back and this is like cutting
a tree yep yeah this brilliant flash of light just envelopes the entire area as as it as it
almost kind of like gets knocked back into the ground almost into the hole that it came out of
it it's still standing that hurt it pretty bad fuck yeah okay that was really good
it was good i go all right with that said
cecilia you are up next yes i'm going to cast guiding bolt at second level
with advantage because it is stunned and with plus four right uh plus four to the attack roll
yes attack rolls yep and saving throws um so 28 28 yeah okay i don't think it hits
i'll allow it second level um whoa 10 damage look at that radiant the second
i rolled four ones oh oh yay on d6s i rolled four ones and one six well you get to add four though
to it no we don't never mind no to the attack roll sadly no damn it oh but i take six temporary hit
points because of my channel divinity um yeah that's it i back up a bit i don't want to be
right next to it all right um theater of the mind uh so you you get good distance away from it it is
we are in difficult terrain however just letting you know okay okay what is it to
put terrain okay i think i have some of that but got it and bonus actions don't exist for me so
that's it oh we gotta do something about that sadness um all right for okay the umber hooks turn
i hope you guys are ready for this it's not starting anymore all right john claude it's your turn
all right until the end of his next turn right uh let me look i end up jc's turn whatever the
case it just cannot do anything yeah i'm gonna just clarify because they'll get advantage on
the attack okay let me take a look i just exit out of the page and we go let me pop on right back
real quick i'm looking i'm i just thought that's what ms said earlier that's why i said it hold on
until the end okay of my next turn so yeah that's a really good channel divinity that thanks home brew
yeah so i get to attack again then yes let's go get six temporary hit points too oh yeah now we're
really rocking um so i'm gonna uh swing again with my battle axe two-handed don't quit me
uh vintage with advantage so that would plus four is 18 that hits great that just hits that just hits
yeah armored thank you so slashing make you so thanks thanks little little nice
ten slashing um and and i can only how many times can i divine smite i'm trying to remind myself you
could do it up to an amount equal to your proficiency bonus so twice yes i'm gonna use
it again then because fuck it i see me as well use it yeah yeah no leave it be no what do you mean
leave it it seems cute it's not it has a hand it has a hand and i believe it was one d8 right so
what you have a hand too yeah it's one d8 but this is different uh and then four points extra oh
uh i'm still like like um what i did in a5v was that they made smite damage less but it it's more
when you grow and it doesn't use spell slots so instead of 2d8 it's 1d8 but i'm still feeling the
sting you still feel it and also if i want i can add on to my smite a empowered smite i can uh
whenever i use my divine smite i can choose one of the following effects uh repelling smite i smite
instead of deals force damage the target must make a strength saving throw to be pushed back 10 feet
and knocked prone but it's a large tentacle so i don't know if that would count um it doesn't see
anything about size right uh nope all right so making swing save yeah oh boy
oh wait it automatically fails because it's stunned oh does it so yeah they automatically
fail strength and dexterity saving throws nice so now it's knocked prone
part of its body it's still in the ground so you what you've done is that you just kind of like
send it across the ground it rinsed dirt as you send it like if you as you make a 10 foot streak
of just a big hole in the in the ground and half of its body is limp above um the antennas are like
going everywhere i'm trying to find its sense but eventually it does
is it any good that's the end of my turn it's technically prone now i'm getting
fucked up let's get wrecked also remember we have plus four to ac jenny is that gone yet
yeah it should be gone by now oh it's gone by now yeah damn it okay never mind it's all gone now
go bye bye all right cecilia uh it's your turn it's prone i i always i always the thing is like
yeah it's prone and technically you know you should you should give this advantage in range attacks
but it's also a really big thing um just like attack normally i'll say no advantage from the
prone unless you attack uh with with melee attacks he's super big like you should be able to hit him
okay i'll do a first level guiding bolt this time very creative just hits whoa whoa you guys are
doing it that's 15 which is significantly better than my 10 from a level two one where i rolled
four ones yep i'll take the 15 yikes yikes yikes yikes okay this maybe i should have added another
one nope no you thought they had are super tanky though uh in their ac oh i see
no ac all right jc this jc jc jt um so the so the light from the guiding bolt encompasses it dancing
across its carapace um it is fairly upset okay so let's see um as the eyes are finally as the eyes
are finally coming to it bangs its mandible its claw its hand across the ground and stands itself
up let's see and with its uh you're not you're not the 10 feet away yes all right with the 15
feet of movement um it'll make its way up to you uh and it's gonna go ahead and it's gonna go ahead
and encroach upon you jaune claude the um the owner of its suffering yay two claw attacks okay
there they come let go 12 misses 17 also misses mother and then one attack with its mandibles i
i can't go through this again it's too early it's too early in the it's too early in the
getting back to let naya 11 well well it dies it dies it is it gives up it surrenders i want to do
i need another one we're gonna get extra points i was gonna say we're gonna have so many fucking
points i'm gonna get like fucking i'm telling us we're getting 20 okay at the top of the round
the both of you feel another tremor quickly uh quickly encroaching
um fast but the umber hulk can still be on the two on the two of you um the tree behind you
john claude is knocked down as the earth is rendered and scooped up in its claws and the
mandibles come in trying to come in around you but you actually have to dodge moving forward
you are directly right in front of its eyes as the mandibles try to snap shut around you uh but you
have to be at a certain distance for it to work this is one pissed off big bug is another bug
gonna try to eat us or eat it is the question i thought you said a mother bugger and i was like
mother bugger that's the name of this episode mother bugger probably not unless um so john
claude it is your turn i'm gonna swing it's all i can do 15 i am soon doesn't hit oh no it got up
does not hit so that's a miss all right this time much much harder to hit when it's actually has a
sentence a sentence to it um and it knows how much you hurt you just deflects off the carapace it has
very hard scales on it um anything else let me see real quick want to see if i have any bonus action
which real quick nope nope no and i don't want to eat six hit points or six temporary hit points
back that i will take oh we lost him for five seconds he's back but wait oh it's a different
camera now is it same camera no it's just focused oh just focused got it yeah okay cool that's it
it's the end of my turn i get six more you said jenny yep great six to replace
uh your temporary hit points so if i had six before do i get 12 now or just oh no sorry for
some reason i thought you got hurt oh no now i just get six temporary i wish i missed everything
i yeah you forgot well i remembered i remembered i remember every single time that's like romero
don't don't remember that no one asked everyone in the stream everyone who's listening on the
po on wherever you can listen to podcasts don't ask jt knows he knows we're fighting an umber
hulk albert and unfortunately we can't get anything unfortunately we're not fighting at the waffle
house he failed his like paralyze and he failed his all his attacks yes start throwing knives again
timmy i'm gonna have the umber hulk pull out some knives i will not be taunted on this show
man there's something that has never happened on this show ever cecilia it's your turn
i'm gonna do something unique wait wait wait wait wait you did had a vantage because of the guiding
bolt oh that's right that's 20 to hit fucking bitch god go bitches eight slashing i'll take that
i shouldn't have said it i'm just kidding so yeah it was nah we're gonna do it
all right yeah you embed the axe in there and you just as it's as it gets stuck in there you just
pull it down with veracity creating this little rend in the carapace i'm hydrating
this is our future when i add it to the channel points when i remember to next week hopefully
okay what
so cecilia it's your turn now let's go cc to do like i said the very creative thing
and cast another guiding bolt oh hell yeah at first level
12 cartwheel i'm kidding um this carapace that it has outside it's very hard your guiding bolt
it doesn't reflect off of it it just kind of like peters against it it it slams right into it but
it seemingly doesn't do damage cool yeah that's all i can do is that all right yeah
okay
so at the turn it is bloodied um it's it's significantly it's significantly not having
a good time um you see that the umber hulk begins to look the umber hulk begins to like
back away from you jaunt clod and it's gonna and it starts like digging its claws into the
ground it begins to burrow seemingly trying to get away from you um but in doing this it
does go out of your reach and if you have a if you want to get your reaction i would say opportunity
attack yes let's do it nope that's a nat one nat one finally again finally she's rolled so
many this game the umber hulk uses his reaction it's a special maneuver
make a wisdom saving throw and take 10d100 damage okay 10d100
so um you attempt to swing but like the the ground shaking causes you cause you to like lose your
footing for a second you don't even get to swing um because you need you need to stay on your feet
um as it begins to burrow into the ground
um and using its action to do so um to make its way just directly away from you um
it seems like at the moment quiet returns as the as the uh as the sound of it
the sound of it boring go goes um further and further away from you um
unless you guys want to chase it it's like 40 feet into the ground i don't think we need to chase it
what the points what the points did she say what the points
some of the fuck okay oh no
there is a second thing coming our way does it is it still it's still yes um i'll go ahead and say
at the top of the round you feel as if this thing was coming closer to you stops for a moment
and you feel two diver two different fissures in the ground and they seem to be going towards each other
are they gonna fight each other shanko goes what do you think missy she
i don't want to be near that then let's book it
the trees still try to go in the tree yeah okay so we'll try to come up the tree i think
okay so um i'll go ahead and give it to you guys this time since you guys have time um the tree
that you originally tried to climb was was taking down uh so but there are more trees um there's
always a tree in the ocean uh there's always more trees in the ocean so you head over what
i'm awesome guys so you head over to other trees so it's more fish in the forest
i fucked up again so you just go ahead um okay both of you give me athletic checks one more time
okay athletic at 11 all right um shanko i'm gonna go ahead and say you make it all the way up
there is this sap this very slippery sap on the side of the sides of all these trees um but you're
managing to like just brute force it getting digging your hands into the tree and climbing up
um you on the other hand cecilia you're it's hard again um you you are like halfway you're like
halfway up um jean claude as you as you get on top of the tree like on top of the like the wooden
platforms that are built and connected to each tree you look down to see cecilia um just just
trying her best to make her way up and you can bend down to help her i was gonna say i was gonna
either throw down a rope or help her up yeah you could definitely help her okay um so now that we're
both on the platform in this case uh cecilia give me uh give me a chase with advantage
okay i might have
should i wait one second um
i think i have an inspiration your aid is a lifeline and when you take the help action to aid an ally
nope that's attacking a creature just kidding oh never mind i'm gonna i'm gonna roll it athletics
19 there we go all right as you grab as the two of you grab each other's hands
the moment you make contact
the loose sediment on the ground began to dance and rumble and john claude you yank cecilia with
an urgency cecilia as you're like in the air being pulled towards john claude a massive eruption
blows away blows away packed mud and dirt sending sloppy like really moist
m packs of mud like everywhere um as you see this the umber hook that you were fighting before
before is in the gigantic is this gigantic maw of a creature um small beady eyes a large a large
a large uh body with like four legs comparable to like a crocodile um and it has this large
maw with like you see you see parts of like actual like rust on it like almost like actual like
steel metal like a carapace like of its body um erupt out of the ground holding the umber
hulk in its jaws i think that's the bullet what the fuck as the two of you stand on top of the
wooden platform you see the umber hulk is struggling the bullet just kind of like picks it up and slams
it against the ground multiple times and when the umber hulk is weak you see it just raises its
raises its jaw and slams its uh slams its jaws together the umber hulk is torn asunder completely
in half biting through the tough carapace on the outside biting through its large body the
the umber hulk is split in twain
are there bridges connecting the platforms yes you can get away from this i would say i just grabbed
cilia's hand and we're booking it and then uh as you're as you're as you're booking it away
as the bullet is enjoying its very nice meal holy shit you uh begin to make your way around the uh
uh around the wooden platforms of the streets and you hear a ribbit ribbit ribbit you see hiding behind
one of the trees on one of the platforms going to you see a bullet a bullywug not a bullet a bullet
you see a bullywug who's like gesturing for you ribbit ribbit ribbit oh yeah we're booking it yeah
um when it's easy that you come over it just goes ribbit ribbit and it turns around and it begins to
waddle down the platform yeah yeah yeah we're not we're not we're not taking any chances
as the two of you escape the land shark being guided by um being being guided by a
genuinely concerned looking bullywug as you run off into the night after escaping
two monstrosities the second one jesus marrow shows up hey guys it's uh that's where we're
ending today's that is where we're gonna end today's session i treat it in my bone
get it calcium my spine is messed up oh my skull
yes
because hey can i borrow your cartilage i'm running out of mine
uh albert said go give the go give the bullet a hug maybe next time if i had a nickel for every
time there was a bullet and then i'm broke together in one of timmy's games you have like five or six
it's a specialty i love it i always love bullets usually it's a first set he usually puts a
bullet in the first session that was like a thing for a while for a while not forever there's a long
time ago we're like oh yeah first session bullet every time just so endearing to me i love them
uh what do they look like oh they're cute oh i'm sure they're not that disgusting is it a cat no
in a way um how do you spell it b u l e t t e and look up the umber hulk oh yeah the umber hulk is uh
unfriendly actually the bullet kind of looks like a pokemon
i kind of enjoy it he's kind of cute and then umber hulk sorry guys i'm just looking for context
okay the umber hulk can die the umber hulk can die many different deaths the bullet can stay
if you guys want to tame the bullet and have it as a traveling companion i will do it
umber hulk's paralyzed don't they oh do they um if you failed that save or is it stun or something
i believe it's it's like confusion it's like the spell confusion so you roll a 1d8 and you do
something on those d8s yeah so that could have been bad but you could have been bad yay and then
he missed everything we there are some things we don't have to bring up he looked like an
