Last time on the Empire Initiative. After having
his bell rung, Dart and the Crusaders indulged
in tea time. Zavari learned that Emperor Dain
is responsible for the spell on her brother,
and Tace updated the crew on the trial of Lord
Saxton. A back and forth with local bugs revealed
the location of a nearby orc stronghold, but
before they could attack, the bell struck again,
and it wasn't only Dart who was affected. Meanwhile,
back at Castle Rend, a friendly invitation backfired
and the legendary vampire Lady Cereal made herself
at home. This is episode 13, Worth the Bean.
So that was what happened last time. You guys
are far enough away that... You're not alerting
them, but consequently you're not close enough
to really get a good read on like all the activity.
Dara should still be overhead. Yes, Dara was
overhead. I remember Dara like rolling high on
stuff. So I guess you can get a good read of
the situation. Great. Does Dara, Dara doesn't
have like sea invisibility does he? That'd be
crazy. I think you could cast it on him maybe.
Yeah, I can. I don't have the invisibility though,
but it could. If you had that scroll, that'd
be cool. Yeah. I'm not giving you ideas. Well,
it's very rare that I cast stuff for Dar. We
did have ideas. Yeah, you're right. It is an
exchange. Equivalent exchange. Dar doesn't have
anything crazy. I mean, he does have blind sight,
apparently. I don't know if that means anything.
It's never once come up. What kind of blind sight
is it? It just says blind sight to 10 feet. Oh
cool. He'd have to be close. Yeah. Which would
be rough. Flying creatures. So yeah, I mean it
would be able to detect them within its radius.
Because it says it can like... He was outside.
So it's like it's like I said it could be like
a various things. It could be like a dissent.
It's gonna be like a sonar thing. It could be
like a Yeah, it's just it's kind of made about
like it. It's like a very big perception. So
I Don't know what Daru Maybe he does maybe he
does like little clicks. I get is like a sonar
thing. That'd be cool You know his tail his tail
creates the clicks Yeah, yeah tails the clicky
So, yeah. He has maracas on his tits. More like,
uh, castanets is what I was thinking originally.
I know. That's what love is. Um, so, Dart, you
feel a shift in your diplomat's pouch. I apologize.
I wrote, like, a fuck ton of letters. So I did
not write this letter. But you get a letter in
your diplomat's pouch. Do you check it? Because
you guys are like currently scoping out an enemy.
Like, I don't know if you're... Yes. Everybody
hold tight for a second while I check my mail.
I'm still looking. I'm done. So it is a letter
from Razalax. And it says, King Dark. Emergent
situation at Castle Wreck. It appears that...
Our guard mistakenly invited a vampire into the
premises. We'll provide more information as things
progress. Currently, she is looking for Hugh
and is not being hostile. We are evacuating the
children as I write this letter. The plan is
to evacuate them to the tower. uh where the uh
where the tribal diets are because she's not
allowed she's not invited into there and they
will be instructed to lock tabs they'll keep
we'll keep them safe they've been training for
this orders and it just says fries lives um it
looks like it was written very hastily like the
the pen was like all leaky and stuff because
he was just like yeah can i can you still be
right back yeah Do you tell them? Or do you write
back first? I'm gonna write back first. Let's
say Brazillags. Priorities. One, children's safety.
Two, make the vampire feel welcome. Appease?
Yeah. And then three, find out what she wants
and report back to me. Okay. you immediately
get back a perp and it doesn't say it's not signed
or anything it just says perp on it and that's
it bonus hand back about Brazillax he worked
in a kitchen oh damn for a couple of years and
Perd always stuck with him but yeah so Do you
then say something to them or? They definitely
see you, you know, quickly. Like, we're monitoring
you, tickling. Yeah. In your condition. Zorii's
eyes are glazed over. Look at your Daru. Since
writing is quieter than talking, I'm going to
write them a quick note that says, um... You're
far enough away that you could whisper. Or I
could do the whole thing. Oh no, I'm gonna write
them a note. It's gonna say, uh... Not to alarm
anyone the vampire in Castle Rand probably should
deal with that and then you're busy and I read
it and I'm like She's doing her like wake up
signs and on her again. Oh, yeah, and she's like
what what? Here, in the hands of Bono. I know.
So I guess we're going home? But we're here.
There's a vampire that we know will kill people,
could kill everyone. They're not being hostile
currently. She did kill church people. So I'm
not - just saying she does have the capacity.
I'm - Graz Lags has been instructed to make them
feel welcome, as long as they're not being hostile,
and to find out what they want. Presumably -
The swords? They're not - if everything she wants
isn't there, there's always a chance she might
just wait for our return. If she wants the swords,
then they're definitely not there, because I
have mine with me. As do I. Um, it can make you
feel like shit in your double -ass pouch. Oh,
um, and it says, gang out! Lady Cereal is requesting
an audience with you, as well as the possession
of two artifacts. Arcturus, the Sword of Stars,
and, if it is in your possession, Scorpius, the
Sword of Lies. She doesn't know that I have it.
That's with the soft leather. I have no idea
when I'll return. I feel like that could be a
deadly answer. Is there a meeting middle ground
that would meet us in this location in so many
days? And then I want her to jump in on what
we're already struggling with. And so I was like,
let's deal with this because we're here. And
then I will say I'm nervous that she maybe ever
had to meet us somewhere again, considering we've
been fucking with her. That's true. That's true.
And she's she has the upper hand where she is
at right now. Yeah. So she may. Maybe she will,
maybe she's in the room. You know, like, we...
We will meet you, but if you want to meet us
sooner, you can meet us at this location, and
it's our midway point coming home. We don't know
when we're going to be coming back, is the issue.
I feel like I kind of want to write back, like,
artifact is with me. Wait for my return, or find
me in the woad. Yeah, like... You trying? I mean,
mostly she can say it's me. You could say, like...
I do not possess the Sword of Life. Which is
not a lie, because you do not possess the Sword
of Life. Don't say anything little miss, you're
like, punish the people at the castle to make
me come back faster. You know? I understand.
I'll write back. Leave my people unharmed and
I'll return with the Sword of Stars as quickly
as I am able. Roll for three. I rolled a nat
one. Do you have inspo? I do. I feel like I should
probably use it, given the precariousness of
the situation. I will use my inspiration. Nat
20. Jesus Christ. Plus? Plus 10. Holy Jesus.
Holy is the promise. She asked if she has your
word. Um, I mean, yeah. Yeah, on my honor. Just
don't kill anyone. Do we have your word to not
try and hold this dry? Yeah, like that's the,
that's the, that's the, that's the deal. It's
like my people are unharmed and I'll come back
with a sword. I like that wording. It doesn't
mean I wouldn't give it to her. Look, you can
just come back with it. Yeah. Would she go in?
Probably. That's all she means. Would that, like,
match? I mean, candy darts. Did you say yes to
the word yes? The lady cereal is amenable to
this request if you secure an artifact called
Cygnus, the bow of binding. I don't have one.
Oh, no. She knows that it is in tall grass. It's
about to get so much worse. No, no, no. She said,
if you agree to acquire Cygnus the bone binding
and return with Arcturus the sword of stars,
she will wait patiently at the castle and harm
not a living soul. I mean, we're gonna go get
that bow anyway. Don't let the ghosts see them.
They're not living souls. Or are they technically
living souls? I don't think we have to worry
about that. Kingdart. Lady Cereal said that she
is not engaging in wordplay. And that indeed
she will wait patiently. Assuming that you will
return someday. As soon as I empty the ball.
With... Both artifacts. Okay. One thing at a
time. What's the first thing we think? This?
Yeah, probably this. Then we'll process what
we need to do after that. Yes. One task. One
task at a time. So what do you guys want to do?
Do you want to launch an assault on the abandoned
chapel? What kind of it's what not stood I see
So also it is raining but I changed the map because
the rain map was not as visible not as clear
for play But it is raining And It's like a it's
like a medium Like heavy rain is that makes it's
not super heavy, but it's it's definitely great
And you Saw, so there are, there are guards at
like the front door. One of them looks to be
like a castle. So you can't really see them very
well. But the little purple one is the mage.
You'll be able to see it better when we lands
you in for actual fighting. Did you give me your
haste? No, you didn't have one. I would say if
I had one, then I assume I would have probably
given it to Reagan. But yeah, there's two cars
at the front. Considering it's raining, there's
likely less I could do than the other one outside.
But on the roof, like right here, there is a
lookout display. Yes. I will add here. And then,
so this part of the ceiling has not been like
fixed at all. So Darry could actually see into
it. There are more works like in the buildings.
It sells and they're sort of there's like a little
like these this imagine that they're under this
little one. I have like standing sort of out
of the rain, you know. But they're definitely
in there and Daru can also see because there's
some holes in the ceiling over here. Daru can
see like a kitchen and there's a cook. like cooking
like something in a big pot um yeah but you get
kind of the impression just by you know kind
of swooping over um especially because it's raining
Dora would be able to see that there are things
walking around outside that he can't see, you
know what I mean? Because I feel like he would
be able to see the water kind of splashing sort
of weird. And like, so you could surmise that
there are drakes that are like, crowling the
premises in their invisible state. So they're
a little bit less invisible than usual. Yeah,
and then those two guys that you like saw take
a piss like went inside. If y 'all were able
to spot that some drakes are walking around outside
and they're invisible to us, that would hurt.
Cool. I was trying to listen while I was sneezing.
Are the drakes going in like any sort of discernible
pattern? Or are they just kind of like walking
around? Um, so they're up here to me. I won't
hear. I will uh, enjoy. Let me get out my little...
Let's see, what color will suspicious areas be?
Let's go with this. These two green circles,
there are at least two drakes in these little
areas that are like pretty much stationary, if
that makes sense. Like they might be like pacing
back and forth in this small little area, but
they are like, they're on duty in that area.
They're working. Is there anything like around
the sides or the back similarly that Dara notices?
So there are so in addition but so those those
areas are where there are stationary ones in
addition to that it seems that there is like
some that are making a circuit and they're not
like they're like maybe like a couple together,
but then like, you know, 50 feet back, there's
like another pair. And then so there's kind of
like, they're doing like a socket. And then while
Daru is lying over, Daru does see that like one
of them kind of like gets distracted and like
jumps into like a bush. And Daru takes a second
to like wash them, I guess, you know, kind of
swoops back. And it hops back out of the bush
with like a rabbit in its mouth. And it's like
hurriedly eating the rabbit and trying to like
run to catch up with its like, you know, track.
One that's destructible. Drift is like, are they
all like that? Do I know? I can't tell if they're
all like that, but that one is. We have reports
on these guys, right? We do. If they're all distractable
like that, that's... There's lemon beans. Those
are chickpeas. They are food motivated. With
a strong fray dry. So we could probably distract
them all with food if it's tempting. It does
say that they're highly trainable and very food
motivated. So maybe we could use that to our
advantage. Dark caught a shit -ton of fish the
other day. Just make a moving ball of fish. Or
just like run. I gave my poison to Horidose.
Try to wipe her. Try to wipe her? Try to wipe
her. Yeah. I'm trying to remind everyone, I got
Wanda. I mean, he's right there though. He's
nearby. You could give him the jacket back. Fly
over and shoot Beanie Cat. What is that? It's
like the bag of beans. No, that's a barbie. If
they eat them, I don't think they're like...
Well, I know, but I would like... Yeah, and just
like shoot them down. I would be very distracted.
Because I can see invisible and then fly us off.
And you could use your pole to poke a little
hole and then drop a bean and then cover it up
really quick and just like... And it's ran, Moon
Glide. like oh no actually and it's raining i
finally time for me i'm on side with the beans
i'm on board with the beans so fuck the shit
up use the beans okay whether yes use the beans
no one is ready for me what do you this is a
major city let's just pull out those like this
is this is all for you like i can be distracting
what are you gonna do take my Wanda beans and
plant the magical beans around and it will create
very distracting things. I was just gonna poison
them with poisoned fish. But I would just take
only a couple of them. You don't know what these
beans do. That's the point. If we do a bunch
of it, even if it's just in one spot. yeah to
like draw them to an area to see like what the
fuck is happening yeah as a little tree we can
take a chance instead of unloading all like eight
beans i could do like three or four you can do
two or four can i tell you my my thought here
is one i know you've been very excited for a
long time to use your beans i just feel like
i should point out that this could end up Drawing
us more attention than we really want if say
oh, I don't know a magic pyramid suddenly explodes
from the ground they could be the giant pyramid
i i'm ready to eat the consequences i'm not saying
i mean i came here for a big fight i just want
to draw their attention somewhere other than
like us so that we can get in there like is okay
Can you please remind me what is the goal of
this fight besides fucking bitches up? Because
that is what Rain is there for and so, like...
Well, I came here to get in a big fight. The
only reason I haven't so far is because a weird
noise keeps knocking me out. Starts getting done
up. Fuck. And if that happens again, or if it
happens to you because it was the knife that
was causing it to happen, then... Then I'm getting
done up. That could be an issue. You've heard
it twice now, and you don't know how often it
will happen. I was like, I am of the mind of,
let's fuck their general shit up. And if we can
like go inside and like learn more, that's awesome
too. Can the wand of beans like fire a bean off
in another direction? Is that how the wand works?
Ark of Bean over the castle wall? I would try.
Is it like a roman candle? This is a singular
bean thing, I know. We found a wand of beans,
but I don't see anything about a wand of beans.
I don't think it's official. I'm assuming it
shoots one bean at a time, but I don't have stats
of how far it shoots beans. It shoots a bean
30 feet. It shoots a bean 30 feet? We used to
have that at the fair. Bean spot. Oh my god,
Bo with the sling shot. Chucking up the beans.
Get ready. Oh god. Can't wait for the bean throwing
this year. The bean toss. I'm just trying to
think of what I can use with the revoser and
my bag of beans. It's up to y 'all. Gerpt is
excited by the beans, but I can't really, you
know. He's like, what are y 'all doing? I'm rockin',
wasn't it? I'm following your guys' lead. I'll
rock with him because he's rockin'. Exactly.
I mean, so what do you, what, I think it just
happened, right? The noise just happened. It
happened a few hours ago at this point. Like
the last time? It's been a couple hours since
we've recovered. I think it took us like three
hours to like get to this point. Or it was some.
It was like an hour or so maybe. He had a crazy
vision last session. Oh my god. Yeah he did.
I didn't mention the vision. But he hasn't told
you guys about the vision. No. Zomari doesn't
know anything. So Doc, how are you feeling? yeah
like we have we have intel we're here what do
you feel tingly um this we're here for you for
this is this is your thing right like i mean
i don't know what i don't know what is happening
to me or what's causing it but we've heard enough
like testimony to know that like The frogs are
here, and they're being treated poorly. Even
the bugs said so. That's when you know it's bad.
The bugs are like, man, I wouldn't want to be
one of those frogs. That's rough. That's tough.
For them to pity their natural predator. What
the fuck I'm saying? So why don't I... Let's
just fuck them up then. Let's have a little fun
with it. Let me shoot off some beans. I'm not
going to stop you from shooting off a bean, I'm
just saying, we don't know what's going to happen.
It's always true in these games. We don't know
what's going to happen, beans or not. I'm ready
to deal with the consequences of the beans. But
I think we could distract them. Yeah. I shoot
some, get some beans planted over here, fly and
hop over and put a couple beans over here, and
then we attack from over here, you know? I don't
know. Do you want to use all your bean charges?
It's like, you said it was a bag of beans, but
in wand form. Yeah. So the bag of beans has three
D4 beans. Bean charges, basically, when you get
it, if that makes sense. Yeah. So I don't think
we've ever rolled for how many bean charges you
have. So you would roll three D4. And then is
it that's it I use up beans and the wand is done
or do I get like it doesn't recharge Oh my gosh
a rechargeable wand of beans We'll say that it
recharges 1d4 beans 1d4 beans at sunrise, but
only if it's left in the sun. Okay. I need to
grow more beans. I need to like cultivate it,
like a plant, like water it. Yeah, exactly. Soak
it in water overnight, put it in the sun in the
morning, and you will have 1d4 beans too. Okay.
Okay. So yeah, let's let's bean it up. I'm interested
in maybe doing Four beans. Two... This is the
bean episode. That's the name. Two... Um, like...
I don't know. Where do we want to do our main
assault? Like, where's the front door? We don't
even know if this is our... Here, I did scale
the map down a little. You said you wanted, like,
um... I mean, yeah, but you're giving yourself,
like, a 4 % pyramid chance. So this, that's okay.
Here. is the two guards at the front door. There
are some people in here that Daria saw. And then
Daria did see that there's like a chef back here,
but you can't, you don't exactly know where they
are. Just because there's like gaps in the ceiling
and there's like rains being let in and stuff
like that. So everybody's kind of like hiding
in the shadows right now to get out of the rain.
But also those two people that Dart heard. Where
are we right now? So are you there, like, where
we are at? No, I would say you guys are probably...
Well, let me think. So you're probably actually
coming from that direction. So, like, from over
here? Yeah, and I just said that you guys were
far enough away currently to, like, not be noticed,
but close enough to at least see some shit. The
only reason you guys have specifics is because
of Daru. So you can kind of approach this from
any angle. I'm just gonna say this. I'm not opposed
to the beans, but we don't even know if this
is like the main area that I doubt. This might
just be the kitchen. Just like, we could save
a couple beans for the next - Okay, well, so
- I was thinking about doing three beans instead.
That bean said - That bean said - So you - And
yes, that bean said - So you - You are, like,
aware that there is a, like, city. that like
you're like you're looking for if you're looking
for blood harvester vrin if you're listening
for uh the frogs if you're looking for where
that you'd like if you're looking for the frogs
like so far the only person who said they've
seen a frog was thomas the satyr that you met
and uh flying wheels said something about oh
yeah frogs were treated badly too yes okay so
yeah Um, and the beetle, I think also said that
it was in the city. But yeah, so the beetle and
also Thomas had said that they saw frogs in the
city. And so far you haven't seen any outside
of the city. So this is like an outpost. This,
um, you were also told by, I think Thomas or,
and maybe some of the buds that there were like
villages outside the city as well. So it's like
large. And there is a tower. There's a tall dark
tower. I want to use two beams, but I want to
spread them out. But I need to make them close
enough that even if the little things happen,
they're useful, you know? Yeah, for sure. But
yeah, basically it's like they they occupy like
a large area of ruins of like an old city. So
like, this is just like the outskirts of that
city right now where you guys are. And that's
how that works. Yeah. Oh yeah. Like a lot of
orcs. And there's just the three of us. So I
was like, let's try and use some of our beanie
beans. Do you guys want me to use one bean? I
just figured like one would be enough. I just
uh, I'm just pointing out that there's probably
a lot more fight in front of us. Okay, so I'm
gonna use, I would like, so I don't want to like
burn using gloomglide, flight, and all of this
to try and do this. So... How close can I get
over here area? So like, what is this, north
or what? Um, so you guys would be coming from,
so it'd be the... Let me think. Okay, sorry.
I'm just trying to picture like, the general
layer in my head. So, the hunting camp was like,
south west of... the chapel um so you're coming
kind of like so if you're coming from that direction
you're coming east okay so we're headed east
yeah kind of okay does that make sense you're
coming from that side so okay so we want to like
kind of at least i want to i guess i can split
off if you guys want to um Come up and around
the spooky tree. I guess let's kind can I be
in behind that spooky tree? Is that too close?
You won't be like here. I Just don't know how
yeah, that's about right. That's I feel that's
pretty so if you're behind the spooky tree You're
like over here and the dudes are yeah, and there's
this guy's on the on the top of the room So it's
definitely within eyesight. So then at least
I want to be invisible. But like, you know. I
can, I can burn invisibility because you have
something that could do multiple people to be
invisible. Yeah. And my invisible ability is
just for one person. So I would like to cast
or use my invisibility. Okay. Um, and then plant.
a bean there and then banana cut around um keeping
distance and what color do you like? let's go
with ah i was thinking like a pinto bean that's
what i was thinking a pinto a pinto bean with
a pan right brownish pan like a dark khaki It's
like refraining. Okay. Very distracting. So we're
at like behind the tree. I feel like I would
have instructed you guys to like head that way
maybe so that this could be a distraction. I
head this way and there's a distraction this
way and I can loop around. Does that sound like
a good plan before I continue forward? So like
here, where I drew the bean? Yes, that's a good
bean. Okay, and then where's the other bean gonna
be? It's gonna be - Where's the bean gonna be?
Like in the cemetery area over here, I would
say. Okay. Like behind - I would like be crouched
down behind a basket of stone and - headstone
thing so I wouldn't see the dirt being moved.
Like there? Because there's like... Yeah, let's
go there. Yeah, I was like, I can't see it. There's
like a map kind of outside. You just assume,
just imagine, fill it in, that it keeps going
into wilderness. W -w -wilderness? Yes. Sorry,
everybody. Okay, so we'll stop. But you're invisible,
so what do they do? Okay, good. Um... 22? Oh,
yeah. So the drakes, you know, they have really
good senses, however... It's right. It's right.
Which that petrichor, man... Damages their ability
to see. So they won't get advantage. You haven't
seen how me and this queen can... Oh my god.
It's a lot nice. I know, it's the smile. I feel
like one thing is nervous me. So you sneak up
behind the tree and you can hear some like orcs
and this and sort of talking and you bury a bean
and you're like, did you know you had 30 minutes?
Yes, 30 minutes. But no, I think it's like a
couple of minutes, right? I thought it was instantaneously.
um planet one minute water one minute later okay
so you have a minute so you then quickly go over
to the other side um and plant another bean in
the graveyard um and when you're you know over
there crouching behind you're sort of like you
know ducking behind a gravestone even though
i'm invisible Like being sick to bring sort of
like - Muscle memory. You'd probably be like
hiding some fucking jenny. Right in the entire
time. Um, the... It's with the advantage. Um,
the tombstone, uh... Comes to life in a certain
way. The tombstone winks and she's a viper. He's
not watching you. He's watching Dirk. That would
be cool. But yeah, so you're kind of like sort
of crashing by the tombstone and you hear like
this like wet padding of feet kind of coming
past but you don't like see anything you kind
of kind of see like the water sort of splashing
in a weird way right and There's like a couple
of sets of like feet, you know and You hear one
of the sets stop and it's sort of near the tombstone
and they're going and they're starting to step
closer what do you do hasn't been a minute yet
since i planted the first bean i would say well
how what was your speed i am Quick plot you're
being gun fire a third being sport right now
because I didn't say I'm a white Because from
being to being it's like a hundred and thirty
five, but I also try to be something so I feel
like maybe I was going slower Maybe I was doing
the 20 like asking. Okay. Here's what was a troll
a d20 tenor lower It hasn't been a minute yet.
All right. Yeah another team Okay, so it has
been, so that one's gonna go off. Roll a D100.
The only one that can still hit full movement
is me. Okay, I got a 60 and a zero, so is that
60? Uh, yes. One D4 plus a pink, bright pink
toads crawl forth whenever a toad is touched.
It transforms into a large or smaller monster
of the GM's choice. The monster remains for one
minute, then disappears in a puff of bright pink
smoke. Okay, so roll 1d4 to determine the number
of bright pink toads. It's spinning at its...
Oh, I got a 1. Okay, but it's 8 plus 8. Yeah.
So 9 bright pink toads. start popping out from
behind that tree. Dark season is like, oh man,
my cousins are in danger. What are y 'all doing
here? It would be like something I don't have.
Toads. I agree with those. But like, I feel like
they're pre -nature maybe. I'm pretty far, but
like they probably be like - Oh my god, there
totally is toads. Is that in your obsidian thing?
What? Is were toads in your obsidian plug? Oh,
I have well, I mean, yeah, I have I have like
the sad block with the You know, this was actually
like these are like the three tokens. Oh For
roll 20 shout out to roll 20. Who will sponsor
us? I've got like nine toads croaking at the
same time No, toads are croaking. Oh, haha, it's
so crazy. That make me be bad of the bushes brothers
So, yes, from out of the bean spot hops a bunch
of toes which are now represented on the map.
Yay! And so they touch them? They transform?
To be large or smaller creatures. Oh, and anything
that's bigger than a toe. Monster of the GM's
choice. The monster we made. I just want to make
sure that it is a monster in that picture. Nine
monsters, bitch. You know, I feel like if any
of them were here or potentially if they saw
them, they could, like, burn them. Yeah. they
can get themselves fucked but i do have like
a minute to get the fuck away from the beam that
i'm sitting with right now so you better so you
okay so the there is a there is a invisible night
drink approaching you sniffing the air trying
to try to catch upset during the rain um you
here in the distance you hear like growling and
like the crackle of like a lightning strike and
if you look like over to where the other being
was you see um you see these like large bright
pink uh like massive like giant toads and they
are like kind of flop and like like it's like
all of a sudden they just like appear like you
know and you and you can hear like you know you
can hear fighting and stuff and they're like
you hear the the growls of several like night
drakes like engaging with like these big frogs
and as soon as like one runs up and tries to
like hit it it like the little frog it turns
into a big frog and then like you see like you
guys look over and you see like um the drink
is invisible right so you can you don't see anything
but then like all of a sudden like a big a big
toad appears like there's like this like light
puff of pink smoke as it gets big and then you
see its tongue extend and like wrap around something
and just oh that's your family right there i
thought they were gonna turn to onks I was going
to say like, is this one of those you have a
fucking dragon, frog, dragon? Oh god, not an
avalanche. We're never going back there? Never
again. Yeah, so it grabs, it grabs something
and just like fucking swallows it whole. When
you say big, like how big are we talking? Like
the Naruto frog's big? Lars would be the size
of a 1979 Dodge Dart. Yeah. So that is large.
Okay. Takes up four squares. So like a 10 foot
by 10 foot space. Does that make sense? Yeah.
I believe. Yeah. The frogs have a toad. Yeah,
that's why I wanted to keep it toads because
of that. personally um but yeah and like slowly
but surely like they're turning into because
the drake service attacking them they're turning
into these big frogs which are that size that's
a sick dodge dart exactly exactly just turn the
front yard just turns into a parking lot real
quick And the night drake is like not as a medium
sized creature for you know for reverence so
it's big enough to swallow one. These beans.
Oh my gosh, fridge. There's like a new background
over there. Does that distract the night drakes?
No, not this one. There's ones over here. So
yes, the two that did not. stop to investigate
you ran like you can see them like padding you
can see that they're splashing and they're like
kind of like their claw like their claw prints
and you so you see they run towards the commotion
but the one that's still that's looking for you
is still looking for you and he now is like stepping
into like the the gravestone area and kind of
slinking around rain would like To Misty Step.
I feel like, can I invisible, would my mist be
invisible? Um, yeah. I mean, you only become
visible if you attack something, or does it cast
a spell? I thought it was if you do damage with
a spell. I wanna, I'm like. Yeah, that's the.
Attacks or casts a spell. Okay, so you would
become visible. Hey. Hmm, question. Cause in
the past we've had a ruling that Zavara could
be invisible but still like cast thaumaturgy
to open doors. Cause I remember that's how we
fed people to the wraiths. Yeah, I must have
ruled incorrectly. Cause I definitely thought
it was like a tag. Okay. Or maybe I was like,
it's just a character, it's fine. I don't know.
I just want to ask for future reference. That
way I know. Yeah. Do any of you guys do anything?
I don't even think we can see you. Er... Not
any of this. Okay, cool. So, can we? What we
will do... Alright, how far is 30 feet? Like...
Fine. Just here. And then I'd be visible. He
would be able to see me, right? Possibly. Um...
Maybe. I need to get away from the spot I'm in,
but want them to stay in the... There. Um...
Huh? Soon. I don't know if Rain has any food
on her. So I would like to... I don't even know.
I'm sorry. I know I'm taking a long time. I'm
just trying to... Take your time? Yeah. Give
me a chance to put some sugar in this body. I'm
getting tired. I don't know why. I mean, you
could, I guess. Signal to Daru? Oh, you're invisible.
Ah! I'm sorry. Damn it. It's true based on my
Parental status, but one of darts favorite things
that always makes him laughs is when children
It's adorable, I don't like it when they get
hurt, but it's just a little knockdown They're
like a puddle of mud that just really seals the
deal for me. Rain will laugh and think it's funny
when they were cooking the dino nuggies and tater
tots. And then they'll hop into a cabinet and
chop down a different cabinet. Rain will always
think that that's funny. That is fucking hilarious.
For Zavari, something that will never fail to
make her laugh would be dogs. But very specifically,
when dogs decide to chase their own tail, she
just thinks it's... So cute and hilarious. It
will make her laugh every single time. Especially
when they get busy. Yeah, that's the best. That's
a cherry on top. When they stop and they're like
dis -concerned. Yeah. She would try to bait her
dogs into chasing their own tails growing up.
But these are finally trained under more dogs.
They would do it if nobody else was around. Daru
does it. Daru absolutely does it. Oh yeah. Daru's
trying to show Flux. But it's kind of hard to
show Flux's straight tail first. Aww. This makes
the same tail so they imagine tails. Daru's like,
okay, make like me. Me. Action pose. Yeah. Check
that out. Well now we need the art. Hell yeah.
This is - is this the same day as the last fight?
Uh, yes. Like, isn't it? Is it night drakes?
No, it isn't. No, you guys wrested. I said we
have wrested a few times. What? I said I was
invincible. This is really hard. Okay. I know,
I just got an aside. It's just about what you
think you can handle. I mean, I can handle all
of these guard drakes, but it's like... Well,
as far as you know, it's one. Okay. I'm gonna
have to misty step. Okay. I have to misty step
away from these bitches. Okay. I would, what
is this? Right here. Is this like a - It's part
of the building. Okay. Is there like a wall and
like there's - Let me see here, sorry. Is this
a tree? I'm not going to go ahead and say that
that actually looks to be like an awning that's
like partially collapsed. Okay. That like shoots
off from the roof of the church. Mm hmm. Um and
that is like a it's like a short kind of bushy
tree that it is a tree. I would like to Misty
stuff. Um i feel like it's like i'm on this bean
i feel like i'm not doing a good job of doing
where i'm actually at i want to be in the tree
or like so the distance from the bean to the
tree is exactly 30 so i used the she hears the
commotion happening that way but then she still
hears the mud friends it just kind of reminds
me of like Jurassic Park and the raptor scenes
like you know she's my favorite since wall cinema
um yeah and so before the last step of it getting
around the the headstone here she is and like
mists um and so it ends up looking just like
fog in the in the rain in the cemetery you know
just like blends into it maybe because i don't
think it would be perfectly invisible because
she'd be coming out of it so he's like okay yeah
i feel like it would definitely be like a visible
fog but it's fog it's not yeah like new so um
so she's blending into the fog that's already
existing from the rain we have the headstones
and just sweeps around and gets into this tree
um just next to this broken awning Now visible,
but in the tree. Okay, so you disperse into a
mist and start, you know, blowing into the direction
of the tree. And when that happens, the drake
growls like fiercely and lunges right into like
the core of the mist, but you're already like...
not corporeal by the time that it lunges forward
it's like growling viciously and for like a moment
you see like the outline of it because it like
you know runs into the mist and you can kind
of see you like you as a mist roll over this
creature and coalesce into the nearby tree um
roll to height that 20 plus Six. How do you blend
into the tree? Rain taps into her like running
for her life with her flux in the forest and
having to blend into the trees. So she knows
she needs to really be at a firm like intersection
of major limbs so that it doesn't shake the leaves
too much. and just kind of hurt and flux when
they land they're moving with the trees natural
movement with the wind and the rain to really
blend in is making it as believable as possible
that the limbs are moving with the wind and not
because somebody's standing. It's soft talking
like I agree so just like you just land perfectly
like And it just settled right into place. Perfectly.
You would hear a landing in a tree. Oh my god,
yes. You get no splinters in your knuckles. Yeah,
you and Flux are in perfect sync. As we do, baby.
I love you, Fluxy boy. Familiars are great. I'm
not really my familiar with it. Well, I'm familiar
with Jason. So from here... What do you want
to do? Because, like, did you guys - are you
guys waiting for a return? You waiting for some
sort of sign to jump in? What is the - I assume
you were just waiting for a return, so you didn't
agree on a signal. I figured that the beams would
be the signal. And so, like, I was like, when
shit goes down, that's when - basically when
you see them running out and, like, investigating,
that's when shit could happen. Or - huh? they're
invisible? well not even the people inside oh
i thought you were talking about the little invisible
doggies no the people inside okay the invisible
doggies are alerting the people inside that shit's
happening outside okay but we are creating a
distraction you guys are probably i would say
they're coming through this way this way yeah
obviously on the other side like you were infiltrating
inside the broken wall um and as they're trying
to and i'm trying to loop back around to that
broken wall area okay i guess would be what i
am trying to do but you know we will see how
this shit falls because i am um use my invisibility
origin and sent a letter to nelly may so zavari
zavari You feel a shift in your diplomat's pouch.
Let me send you a letter. So you're waiting for
a shift to pop off, but you do feel a shift.
I'm not feeling a shift. Oh, what the hell? What?
You have time to read it right now? I'm looking
at it. I saw the opening line. You like glance
at it real quick. You're like, oh, that's good,
actually. I'm just eating cheese in a tree. Not
there bearing cheese in trees. But we do. But
yeah, I mean, so yeah, Rachel had said that now
that, you know, the frogs are popping off and
whatnot, the other bean, go ahead and roll for
it. And now this would be, I guess, your guys'
cue to engage. And if you let me know, I want
you guys to think what she's rolling for this
bean, where you're coming from and what you're
doing. 65, so it's more totally something. Roll
again. No, no, no, no, I like, I like that. Like,
it's a boulette. Oh, that's known as 16. Yeah,
um, yeah, a boulette burrows up and attacks.
So the thing jumps down and on top of where the
beam was and then it jumps out. Yes, it like
erupts from beneath it, just like on top of it.
That's when I was having so much fun. Time to
look up that stat block. That or a fountain of
apple juice to shoot up. Makes everything really
sticky. What are you down to doing? I mean, it's
pretty strong. Actually, it is large. I remember
finding this thing in Baldur's Gate 3. Oh damn,
this one pops up out of the ground. Yeah. I've
seen them in Final Fantasy. Well, I think enough.
I only ever saw them in Baldur's Gate 3. On the
Class 7. Dang. They're like, I don't know. They're
really strong this year. It has a deadly leap.
Don't have a boulette. But I'll use a best. Can
we please make a creme brûlette? Oh my god. Are
you in a campaign? Who would I be if I said nothing?
A chef, like, that can summon a creme brûlette.
Would that be a source thing? You're gonna be
like a summoning and like definitely pathfinder
there is a summoner. I for summoners I know these
shepherds us for druid is dead. I'm necromancer
is a dead summoning class I hope you would be
a druid class for like a boulette situation.
You could also do beast master rager. Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, that's right. Have a beast as your
animal come in for a monstrosity So I can capture
you with my owlbear. Yeah, you have an owlbear,
a blazer beast, a boulette, that rot beast thing
that you fought. You can have that as a pet.
You can have that as a beast master companion.
Send that person to jail. Jesus Christ. Disgusting.
I want to read this real quick. Underground hunters.
The Letts use their powerful claws to tunnel
through the earth when they hunt. Heedless of
obstruction, they uproot trees, cause landslides
and loose slopes, and leave sinkholes behind
them. When a Vibratron's in the soil and rock,
alert a blue -legged movement, it shoots to the
surface, its jaws spread wide as it attacks.
crushing the drakes and then like rolls back
and starts tearing into it and it becomes visible
once it's crushed and starts tearing into it
and it's like a it was like a black night drake
and it's getting tore the fuck up and there are
more drakes coming out and now there are orcs
firing arrows at it and there are also so the
The orcs that are here in front of the door,
they move out, but only about 10 feet or so and
start firing at the frogs. The caster is firing
these sort of like eldritch bolts. The other
guy is like, she's like, she's like a fighter,
and she is shooting a crossbow at them. And,
you know, within a few seconds, like frogs start
dying, more frogs are getting bigger from fighting
the nitrates, more drapes are getting swallowed.
It's just a whole mess. The fucking mess. Oh,
did you see your place? Over there. It's a pandemonium.
We'll say that one died. We'll say that one died.
We'll say this one's getting bigger. And they're
just like, they're just like poofing. Like there's
big puffs of like pink frog, uh, fog. Frog clouds.
Frog clouds. As they're getting bigger. And then
also when they like one dies, it just kind of
like. And, like, it is absolute chaos. The orcs
are fully alerted to just crazy shit happening.
And, like, the orcs have not left the chapel,
but they are directly, you know, firing at the
creatures. This guy up here... He kind of comes
down this way, and this is sort of like slants.
So this is really not far from where Rain is.
I'm gonna have him roll. Okay, he doesn't notice
Rain. He's looking over at the boulette, and
he calls behind him. Another orc, sort of caster
-looking person runs out, and they start like
firing at the boulette. but then like tunnels
under and it's just like you just see you know
gravestones getting you know getting getting
milled into the ground and like the whole casket
you know just getting dug up and I can partially
torn into by this big bullet that's just and
it starts angrily tunneling like towards the
chapel after it has killed the drake um and they're
like You can see, if you continue to watch, there
are invisible drakes that are trying to jump
onto the dirt mounds from the duet. They're doing
the bouncy thing, you know what I'm talking about?
And so you see these big paw prints being stamped.
and like these big like claw marks being raked
across the dirt because they're trying to like
frantically dig up and chase this thing it is
very distracting so at this point go ahead no
it's okay yeah i still want to hide because especially
seeing that like i am right there like i need
to like be very like still and stuff so never
i was going to shoot another being off in a different
direction but i feel like I cannot. We do have
to like bury the bean too. Alright, okay. So
just shooting it off isn't necessarily, it could
get like stomped on and buried though I guess.
That could happen for sure. At their feet. As
they're stomping on it? Absolutely. Yeah, or
like if you shot it at the boulette, the boulette
probably didn't shoot it and bury it. Next time
the boulette pops up, I'm gonna try to shoot
it behind her. Okay, so at this point, I don't
know what else I'm gonna do, like I'm in the
middle of it. Do you guys want to engage or like
are we are we activating initiative this currently
right now? Essentially, it's like there's an
initiative. I didn't roll anything but essentially
there's an initiative But it's like just without
just without you guys because you guys aren't
in the fight Are you joining the fight? I'm gonna
look over at the bullet situation Take off my
little cap Hold it over my chest and say, Uncle
Grant, would you like this? Do you feel like
that meme where the little toy monkey is like
looking back and forth? I don't. Looks around.
We're gonna just send their solo crew chaos.
I'll follow your lead, Dart. I'll cast Vigilant
Blessing on myself just in case. That'll give
me, um, advantage on my initiative roll. And
plug in. Oh yeah, that's right, that's right.
It's like, what? I'm scared, guys. I am, like,
looking at where I am compared to everything
else. We got this. I just realized my shadow
doesn't dance anymore. No. Because it only dances
when no one's watching, and shadow vipers always
watching. Ah, you're on. Damn. RIP shadow. Does
he blink? Like that's how I know she's not doing
his job, is that I can see my shadow dance. Oh,
that's true. That's kind of a cool indication.
That's your performance review, how many times
you see your fucking shadow. So, um, four. clarity
sake. The orcs that are not circles are minions.
This one, this one, this one? Yes. Any of the
ones that like are not represented by a circle
token is a minion. I think the beans were successful.
so far so yeah and then there's like another
one running out in the rain over here going to
bite the bullet so are you guys looking to it
you guys are joining the initiative or what's
holding your lead dart they haven't noticed you
yet yeah but you see that shit's popping off
you can continue to let it pop off or you can
you know interact in a way that's not joining
combat that's kind of what i was thinking about
next If you let out that bloodness thing. Is
that a tower there at the back corner? That one
there. Sort of. A broken down remnant of a tower?
Yeah, basically the roof part is accurately represented.
It has not been... you know added anything to
it currently on climate climate is it hungry
oh it's hungry what do they eat you know don't
they eat orcs and these things okay so since
you're that close go ahead and roll stealth 30
20s um okay um yeah so you up the side perch
up onto like maybe like that little ledge of
the wall where it's like more sturdy because
the wood's kind of rotted I was viewing the situation.
Just because they're on the board doesn't mean
they'll be friendly. I'm not trying to get involved.
If you glance down sort of like behind you inside
the tower, you can see that there is a staircase
that leads down and a solid floor. The room,
like there's like water that's kind of running
down the stairs. And in that room, there's like
a park that's partially covered by some like
old boards from the collapsed ceiling and that
part has like crates and like barrels um like
sort of stored underneath like if that makes
sense like it's like barely dryer because the
wall of the water coming in um and like you know
they're like there but there's nobody like in
that like room currently okay There's also a
guard cutout that is level with the floor. So
some of the water is draining out of that window.
You know what I mean? Out of the top. It was
probably like some big stained glass window at
some point, but it's been kicked in and now it's
kind of used as a lookout. I don't know what
I'm doing right now. What are you doing? I'm
thinking about that. I don't have lunch. Okay,
I don't know if I'm ready for that, but yes,
I will give you that signal. Yes, give Daru the
signal. Cause Daru can have a cast through Daru.
Cause I'm no longer invisible. Yeah, but if it
comes down to that one thing now, I can probably
more sure. there's definitely like more orcs
inside you're just that's just what you see you
know and you can hear a dart you can hear commotion
from inside they're like yeah what the fuck is
going on out there it's just some fucking beast
they'll deal with it don't worry about it you
know in orcish barking back and forth to each
other he's like isn't it kind of weird that there's
that like frog omen or whatever and now there's
fucking big pink toads don't think about it dude
it's not fucking like that just a coincidence
this fucking boat has all kind of weird shit
in it It's been like that since we got here.
Oh, sorry, I'm not used to it. I've only been
here for like six months. Dude, chill the fuck
out. And they're, you know, you hear people fucking
are, they're not like taking, they're not panicking
to a point where like they're taking this super
seriously. That makes sense. The people inside,
they're not working. So they're still being casual.
They can, they're just, but they are aware of
the commotion. So that's what, you know, that's
what you notice, Dari. Hi, retroactively. Say
that for the last six months of gameplay time,
I have been replacing all of the arrowheads on
my arrows with really sharp frog carvings. Sure.
You won. Why not? You've had a lot of downtime.
You gotta do something while you're longer, I
see. You're really funny. Like, you know how
Batman's got the little batarangs, they're like
little just sharp bat symbols? Yeah. I want that
to be my arrowheads, but they're all frogs. I've
enjoyed what you need to figure out is like where
you want drugs sitting crisscross applesauce
in the head is the head of the air I think the
Zavari doesn't want to be on the fucking ground.
She probably use levitate to like get up on the
building. Okay Do you want to be like? stuffy
near dart or Where about if you want to be and
then I can lift you up with some blocks Are you
okay? I'm standing up. Well, so my standing is
over here. Where is like a stable place for her
to like perch upon? Personally, I noticed I think
I want to the the most patched up parts of the
roof are like here over the kitchen. And then
here over this, this room, and then over here.
I think she'll stick to the side. This has a
complete ceiling. I don't want them to be completely
able to view me. So I'll be like off to the side
part that's patched up. Like over here? Yeah.
And on the ground. We're doing so many. Ah stop
stop. You could like see dart there. And you'd
be like, on the ground. I would like to uh create
a duplicate of myself that is using mask of many
faces to look like a red cap orc. Oh man she's
creative. So I had to I've had something up here
to think about it real hard. When Rachel asked
what would Zavari do my first guess Was put on
battle perfume because she can't go into battle
smelling unprepared. She does have perfume of
bewitching You know Classiest warrior I know
Not the best Just the classiest Can I tell you
something that I did at work the other day it
was so dumb I was trying to be like, yeah, Ryan's
my favorite place to go is Aspen Tap House. Yeah,
when we don't know what we want to do, we're
like, you know what? I don't know what we want.
Let's just go to tap an ass house. Check out
the newest place in Gravesburg. Tap an Aspen
Tap House. Because these are like those are orcs,
right? Yeah. Okay. Yes, that is where I want
to be. Okay. Roll for it. It will not receive
our things, right? Correct. 30, 20. 11. Sorry.
11. 11. Oh, we did it. So I get a plus four to
Dex. So do I. Okay, so Hannah, we're gonna roll
these, but just roll them in there. How much
you got? Is that counting the initiative modifier
still? Sure. 23. Same. I got a 19 plus 4. Damn,
I got a 15 plus 8. Again. I got a 15. You got
a 27. Oh. Tiptoes, J. Zivari, you got a 20? Mm
-hmm. Dice, going into battle. Oh, yeah. The
kill dice. Better. This is mine. Did you get
it? Looks like a red cap, or... Okay? Okay, let's
see here. Zavari actually starts us off and then
it's a few orcs and then Dart, Rain, or one after
another. The few more orcs and then Drift. Drift
is here. Yeah. I have to dig out. I have a huge
list of tokens right now. Just to get an idea,
where is the boulette? Again, or is it underground?
I think it's over here. I'll drag him in a little
bit. I'm trying to bring Drift in. Okay, where
the hell is Drift going to go? Maybe Drift was
like on the side with us? I feel like he, yeah,
I feel like he crawled. appeared with you guys,
um, cause he's like, well I have Shaggy or someone
to support them, so. Yeah. Um, yeah. So that
works for me, and then the bullet is over here.
I think it's like, I want to see it animated
of Ray nervously, Misty stepping away after causing
a bunch of chaos, the thing jumps and lands and
then crushes Ray. Yeah, and there's like, There's
orcs. There's orcs. They're coming out and trying
to fight the bullet. These are behind walls.
Mm -hmm. Okay. I mean, I'm going to blast. I
just want to get my bairns about it. And those
guys, I... Are up. Yeah, and like, well, so essentially,
so what that is, is this is like an awning and
it's like broken. So they're on the... like 10
feet up but they're on a slant so they're probably
like they're like halfway between that and where
it like touches the ground and you're right so
like they're probably like seven feet off the
ground it's like a carton i don't know i know
a guy who fell five feet and became a paralympian
so yeah we could be starting someone's athletic
career exactly it's time to shoot and then the
system is wet over here so Yeah, the bullet's
like, fucking shit up. I want the bullet to eat
them. Okay. I forgot to add the bullet. Shit,
let me do that. Wait, is that not the bullet?
No, I meant the initiative on here. Oh, sorry.
I'm gonna... I have it in already. You know,
it's over, like, 20 feet. I don't know if it's
good enough. The bullet, by the way, is not friendly.
Yeah. Oh, no, I know. No, no, no. I'm... I'm
trying to give it some food. I'm gonna attack
these two with Elvis Blast and try to push them
off. With your... Blast. From your duplicate?
Yeah. Okay, from that direction? Yeah. Okay.
You've moved your duplicate to where you want
it to be. I'm sorry. Sorry. No, no, no. I was
adding the roulette to the initiative so it was
making sure I didn't miss anything. Okay, so
go ahead and sling those spells. 17 plus 11 on
the first one. So which one are you hitting with
that one? That one. Okay, yeah, you definitely
hit him. Right, this feels up behind her and
the leaves are shifting. And then an 8, oh, uh,
well yeah, 18 on the other one. Okay, that hits
him. Perfect. So I hit him. uh 10 damage on the
one with the circle 14 damage on the minion okay
so 10 damage on the guy with that guy and then
sorry and then you said how much damage on the
minion? 14 oh okay so that kills the minion yeah
yeah remove and then you're you're throwing this
guy back right Oh, I was down. Yeah, I was tempting
to like knock him off. Like, towards this way.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, I mean, that's what would happen
if you knocked him 10 feet. Yes. And to that
guy, they collide. They'll both get knocked prone.
In front of the roulette. Yeah, in front of the
roulette. Have some good lunch. Heck yeah. Good
boy. There's like a player view option for the
initiative tracker I have here But I don't know
how to put it over there, so I'll have to figure
that out and workshop that another time. So that
was Zabari's turn. Yes. I am. Actually, do I
want to cast hex on somebody really quick? That'd
be kind of cool. Actually, no, I don't. I'm done.
I'm done. Okay. Oh, and then, um, my actual self,
I just want to like remain self -leaded. General
thing. Okay. Um, so now the, okay, go ahead and
roll self. And what was your last, your other
self rolled a nat 20. Yeah. What was your self?
Nat 20. You're a dirty 20. And you're a nat 20?
Wouldn't be stealthy as fuck. One of the Orphans
that's inside of the building is his turn. So
he's going to come out. Five, two, three, someone.
And he's over here. He's over there coming out
of this building here. And he's shooting like
little eldritch bolts at these frogs. The frogs
are also getting attacked by like, Nydrakes.
and some of them are you know dying um they're
kind of moving up and just moving on them kind
of yeah they're just getting they're just aggressive
bruh aggressive tulips bruh i don't know you
know i think i can't do a fucking croak but imagine
it it's horrible it's loud yeah but i loved it
i was thinking about croaking like a frog do
it i can't There's some frogs that go... So I
feel like it's whatever she's... Oh yeah, yeah
these big, these giant pink toes go... This is
awful. Oh my god. There's a whole parking lot
of car alarms going off at one time. It is now
the boulette's turn. Oh, the boulette has some
tasty props in front of it. So the boulette is
going to, it kind of like, it kind of digs a
little bit deeper and kind of shifts and, uh,
tunnels like backwards, like, you know, a few,
you know, feet. Um, and then you kind of see
like the bulge. in the ground like kind of getting
larger and it like it like you see it's like
claws kind of reach out and it just like lunges
itself out and it long jumps straight at all
of these orcs and it fucking throws its body
at them i accidentally closed the bullet tab
recently closed tabs where did you go there you
go so it's deadly leap he jumps at least 15 feet
that's part of his movement And it is going to
try to smash all these in there. 16 on DC, 16
strength, there's 30 saving throw, we knock her
and take bludgeoning damage and slashing damage.
So yeah, so yeah, it just launches itself and
it's like kind of it's like rolling and using
it's like, tough our shells and sort of like
tear and claw and you know, that what not like
a Pokemon. So they are going to make some says.
Does the one that I knocked try and fail his?
Sure. Get eaten. Well, hopefully every single
one of them fail. Oh, so... Worth the beat. Oh,
uh... That might be the episode name. Oh my gosh.
So, well, because of that, like, all of the minions
actually die in separate. Hell yeah, brother.
And the only one that survives is, like, the
actual guy. Um, and he does get knocked, like,
backwards five feet. So I feel like he's, like,
under this now, like, real close to rain. And
she just seems down and she's like, uh -oh. Let's
go. Yeah, and so the boulette just tears them
up. And it's like grabbing and biting and clawing
and eating and just feasting on these orcs. So
that was the boulette story. I mean, the time
we have is short, but it was impactful. Rain
working on her bard shit. The Elder or Caster
made him throw in bolts at the Fra - or the Toads.
Um, and then it is... Dart's turn. He was a fictional
no -waiter action. Uh, okay. Uh, from my height...
Can I see any of the orcs? Why am I too far back?
You would be able to see You would be able to
see these guys here and this guy here for sure
That's getting fucked up by the bullet and you
saw all those guys die And then like you hear
that more are going to be coming out like if
that means you hear you hear like it's more it's
more serious than we bought Bully on the deck!
Where's Zellegarde? Where's Luke? She's not here!
Fucking bitch! I am going to... Send out the
Bloodseekers! Bloodseekers? I'm gonna cast Thalmiturgy
and make my voice booming. Three times the booming
voice. Then... Wait, no, I can't, because I didn't
do the thingamajig yet. I forgot I don't have
my title. I was going to do the loud croaking,
which I guess I still could, but I wouldn't get
a bonus for it. Fudge. Um, in that case, scratch
what I thought would turn you plant. I don't
know what to do, girl. Turn out a cast. I don't
know what she was supposed to show us, man. What
does she have? I don't know. I can see if this
is concentration that I call dress. He's climbing
up I Know it's like underneath. Okay. He hasn't
like went out yet. Yeah He was like rampish and
so I was like, yeah, that makes sense Yeah, he's
like underneath that little like he was like
just standing under there, you know, getting
us that thing out of the rain but now Now you
can't upset the brain. Oh my god I'm gonna spend
my turn preparing a reaction. Can I do that?
Sure. Yeah. You're gonna hold your action until
a specific thing happens. I don't want to hold
my action until something notices ringing in
the chair. That way I can react to it and get
it. Okay. That is what I would do. Rain, it's
your turn. Well, rain would... So this leads
up, it's basically a ramp. Right? Essentially,
yeah. Rain is going to moonlight as a bonus action.
First to forecast. She then is going to stroll
up this awning, broken awning ramp situation.
On her way up, she then is trying to shoot another
bean into the hole in which the roulette buried,
or like jumped out of. That was her action. Okay,
so run me through that again, sorry. You're a
mad woman? Moon going. Yes. I'm up this way,
and on my way up, I'm going to shoot a bean into
the hole in which the brûlette jumped out. Does
that consider burying it? Like, if it fell down?
I will say yes. If I can make it in there? If
you can make it in. Yep, exactly. So you'll have
to roll to shoot the bean, which I guess would
be a spell attack, but I wouldn't say you're
a proficient. So shooting beans, I figure that's
valid. Yeah. Should I just be my bard instead
of my monk? Sure. So plus six. You put my bard.
Or should I not have that? Okay. Eight. Like
total? Mm -hmm. I have inspo. Do I want to use
it for a bean? If you don't use it, you will
miss. Let's do it. It's a bean heavy episode.
Seventeen. rhymes with bean, cross, like Spice
Six, so I don't miss. Is this Master V? Oh my
god. Master R? It's R. V. Oh gosh. Oh, R. V.
Oh, and hot about them beans. Beans! Beans! Special
Beans! Oh my god, okay. Brain's future, I just
didn't know. I gotta stop. the master of beans
the whole beans there's a bean wrap and into
the woods and I know the whole thing we need
to keep this should be patreon con so yes you
shoot the bean into the hole you have now planted
a bean in one minute it will sprout um oh that's
10 rounds um okay but then i'm doing it that
way i do my bonus action but i kind of like investigate
like in here and maybe i want to come up here
up on the roof and like peer into the window
and that's like and i look up and see them okay
so or maybe i should come over here i want to
come over here because i have like 60 feet of
metal i plant so peering into the roof so In
the, on the map here, it kind of appears to be
like open, I guess, but it's like boarded up.
You notice that like the windows, this room specifically,
are like blocked. And making, well, making our
comment check. You feel like the room that you
are like on, It has some sort of spell on it,
some sort of like maybe barrier type, protective
type spell, like on the root, you know, below
you. Does that make sense? So she like, you get
a sense through like, through fluxes. The vibration
that I feel through flux. The hum. Yeah. It's
like how like neurodivergent humans can hear
electricity. She can hear the like the magic.
So that being said, D 'Art, rain is now visible,
the - the - oh wait, I just - wait, did you -
you shot a beam, yes. yeah yeah and you were
you were visible that's right because of the
messy steps so yeah rain is now visible out in
the open the orc that's fighting the bullet does
see rain but is fighting the bullet he's got
bigger fucking issues uh but now but you have
that your trigger basically was that if something
saw rain so what do you want to do or do you
want to do anything i'm gonna shoot that or okay
shoot that or he's like fucking complaining workers
what the fuck is that? is that the underdog?
they climbed up where the hell did that girl
throw a pebble? a pebble? got a 14 a 14? you
never actually know pebble is a name and i believe
in him Like, is that what my eye contact is conveying
as I believe in these? Yeah, 14 doesn't hit.
I mean, did you use your, like, bonus action
last time? Yeah, I did. That's not guidance.
I mean, like, you have to use... Guidance is
like a... Guidance is different. I have guidance.
Oh. Do you guidance yourself? Yeah, you can.
Change of mind. You touch yourself, chop. It
technically says you can do it before or after
the roll. If you haven't, like you can use the
guidance before or after the roll. What do you
think, DM? Do you want to guide yourself? Oh,
however. Sure. 16 and better. 16 hits. Silvanus
just pushes it. A gust of wind fixes the trajectory.
It smells like weed. Vapes puff. Just thought
of a good question to ask Raine for a side check.
That's 16 damage. It's him. Yeah, I mean, you
get him real good. It, like, digs into his, like,
shoulder. Just sees, like, in the night an outline
of a frog. You said, wait, how much was it again?
Sorry. Sixteen. Sixteen. Sixteen. Frog manager.
I have to do the spray. It sounds like that because
the fluid film can help. There it is. There's
the fleece things. You can't be a free spirit.
It has to be like a space for everyone, you guys.
That's not even the good color for us. I don't
know how wise it is of me to liken my character
to Kiff. It's not Kiff. You're a good kid. But,
you know, I'll look out because I'm going to...
Well, that sounds bad. Never mind. Well, share,
please. Oh, no. Well, you don't get the context.
No, I want to know. Because, like, I as in the
DM is going to impregnate you. Congratulations,
darlings. I wonder who the fond fondue is. Yeah.
Who touched your... Who had the unloved glove?
No glove, no love. Oh, no. Somehow it was Zara's.
Oh my gosh. Go home. Don't have any part of this.
Oh my god. It's like, don't. You know, no love.
The gun. And then came here the gun. Oh god.
I feel like there's a different language being
said, but I am scared. And I would love for Preyas
to know what is being said. Yeah, so... I had
snooze. Congratulations! Star! Or I'm sorry,
that one. There's so many good ones. The body
is willing. The spirit is willing, but the body
is spongy and bruised. The Bean episode has taken
