Thank you. welcome back to beginner's luck i
still have no idea how to introduce this thing
it is me your dm larry and i am joined by my
players so let's take it from the top hello i'm
bella i play annie the uh goliath artificer and
i still don't know how to introduce myself properly
you should it's like what seven episodes in and
you don't know how to introduce yourself at this
point everyone who listens is Probably well aware
of who we are. Next up! It's okay, we are very
professionals. We are professionals. Yes, yes,
yes. Hello, my name is Robert, and I play Gorda
Sevrok, the Draconic Sorcerer. And up next...
Hi, I'm Avia, and I play Raynor, the elf, the
bard, the extraordinaire. Perfect. Okay, so before
we do begin... Once again, I do have a question
for your characters. And that question is, what
would your coffee mug say? Start from the top.
Hmm. I feel like, because Annie only drinks,
like, espresso. So, very tiny cup. I don't think
it would have the ability to say anything, but
if it did, the ability? Yeah. If it were to say
something, it'd probably be like, don't talk
to me until this is empty. So one of those, don't
talk to me until I've had my coffee. Yeah, alright.
Fair enough. I mean, let's be honest, Annie would
make the cup that would just scream that whenever
anyone came near it. Oh yeah, she would be casting
alarm on the cup. It'd be like a Beauty and the
Beast cup, just start screaming. Do not come
near me until this is empty! I pictured it more
if somebody got anywhere near that cup, it'd
just be... sort of thing. I also imagined it
to be like a grenade. Oh, jeez. It's just like
a trip mine. It just explodes. Oh, yeah. There's
just like an abundance of it, like storage room.
There's like three shelves just filled with those
types of cups. That'll teach him to talk to you
early in the morning. Exactly. Alright, Godard,
what do you have? I think Godard would have something
that's like written in elegant Elvish that runs
down it. He doesn't know what it's translated.
He just thought it looked really pretty. But
if you could read Elvish, it'd be something along
the lines of like live, laugh, love. Right. I
was thinking along the lines of like, you know
how those Chinese tattoos that people get and
then they don't know what it actually translates
to. And then some of them are like chicken butt.
Something like that. It'd be something like that
where I feel like it'd be a very like wine mum.
quote on there that he has no idea and doesn't
agree with right but it's just written on on
the mug just like something like it's very tacky
that he would be so against but it looks beautiful
from the like the gold letter yeah i think that's
what i've drawn him to begin with is just the
beauty of it okay and lastly uh i think it's
either a solid gold cup or it's one of those
um Cups that say, this is not coffee, this is
bourbon. Okay. You know, the more and more we
see Rainer, the more and more I'm just seeing
me. And you're just cosplaying as me. The more
I hear about him, the more concerned I am. But
yeah, okay. I knew it was you the moment that
you, like, last weekend, you were just spewing
out black smoke at him. Okay, we don't talk about
that. We don't tell anyone about that ability
that I can do. Larry is more Rainer than Rainer.
Okay, all right. So with that, let us just jump
ahead and do the recap. An idyllic village that
is lively as it is shimmering with. Normalty
proudly welcomed its guests. As Jeremy boasts
of his new betrothed, the villagers were ecstatic.
Preparations of nuptials have begun. With their
late arrival, our trio guests were led to the
Smoking Frog Inn, where a celebratory banquet
was prepared, while our groom, now clean and
clear of pebble scars, diverted his attentions
away from his bride -to -be. With the celebration
of the townsfolk, a sounding church bell rung
throughout the village, and one by one, each
townfolk ceased and began to return home. Uneased,
Atrio and Gimbel sheltered themselves within
the inn, and not long was met with rain and thunder.
A familiar red rain. The comfortable and substantial
inn, with tables clustered with food, transformed
into a rotting and dilapidated shack. Add to
the fear and tension that our heroes had been
experiencing. Shortly after, the red rain had
ceased, and soon followed a rain of gold. With
the night having passed and the inn returned
to normal, our trio began their day, Annie and
Goddard having been taken by the head grandma
to prepare and be fitted for a dress. Raynor
collected what gold he could, and with Gimbel
in tow, investigated the Delacroix manor. that
the investigation would be cut short as Jeremy
had discovered the two and had forced them to
also prepare for the celebration. The wedding
ceremony stands proud in the town square, just
waiting for the bride. The air stood still, the
weather not daring to make it move, and Anastasia
stands at the front of it all, the reality of
what's right in front of her. Daunting and frantic,
Jeremy takes her hand. In sweaty alacrity, with
vows not yet exchanged, the world literally fades
to black. Rainer. You wake up with the sun streaming
through the windows. The roosters with their
cock -a -doodle -doings. It is morning, and normally
you're up. earlier than this but you've decided
to have a little sleep in but you know you need
to get up because you have to feed the chickens
granddad has always impressed upon you of feeding
the chickens each morning and while you don't
feel like it you feel as if that you should get
up and feed the chickens grandpa and his chickens
and he's just gonna keep yelling at me if i don't
do it i don't want to do it oh fine i'll get
i'll get out of bed you kind of see him stumbling
to his um his feet he's kind of like trying to
find his hat and like his eyes are closed still
because he's kind of just patting around his
like bed to find his hat before putting it on
you put on your hat and for as long as you can
remember for the last How many so years you've
been alive and been living here with Grandpa.
You've always fed the chickens. You've always
ensured that the chickens are fed. Because you
know one day that when Grandpa passes, that you
will be head chicken man. Just like your grandfather.
Take a step out and you know that Grandad is
still asleep. And it is the kitchen, the dining...
this little cottage of yours that you live in
with your grandpa is has always been the same
it's cozy you've always wanted more but you know
that beyond the walls of your home this beyond
the bright roads there is nothing but danger
and so there's never the the risk is too great
For you to venture out. And so you decide that.
As much as you want that. You gotta feed the
chickens. Okay. I've got my duty. Lord Jeremy
will protect us. And we will be fine. I just
got to do my thing. And everyone else will do
their thing. Grandpa has entrusted me with this
chicken. And I will just do that. Remember Rainer.
Ambition is not important. Right now, we just
gotta do our job. He's, like, telling himself
that as he's, like, walking out. Godar, you've
been up for a few hours now, and you have been
meal prepping for the last few hours, knowing
that folks that are staying in the inn and those
who come to break bread with you in the morning
will be coming soon. Your father had entrusted
the inn upon you, and he ran this inn, and now
it is your turn to run the inn. He's been away,
which is unusual, because nobody ever leaves
town, but for some reason, dear old daddy was
left, and he has left the inn to you. What are
you doing? Uh, probably chop, chop, chop, chop,
chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, like getting, like,
the stew for the day, the soup that would be
on sale, just getting that ready, just chopping
away. Next lot of carrots in. That's actually,
um, that's making me hungry. Just the thought
of soup! Just the thought of soup's making me
hungry. And you hear the, um, you hear the door
open. Uh, it is the crack of dawn, and you have
a few of the farmers now coming in to break bread
with you. You know, uh, you know some of these
folks. Oh, morning! Morning! Morning! Hello!
Uh, a lot of older gentlemen. Uh, you know, there's,
uh, what's his name? There's Bill, and there's,
uh, Frederick, and there's also... God, I was
gonna say Jeremy, but it's not Jeremy! Uh...
Stephen, let's go with that. The three of them
come in and then they take their usual spot there
at the inn and then some folks who have been
staying in the inn itself are also coming down
and have all just sort of sit themselves. Sister
Sarah now comes through the kitchen and is now
taking bowls and is now... She pushes you gently.
Well, come on, we've got to bring out the breakfast.
Let's break bread with the others, she says,
as she's now bringing out. She's got like four
bowls, two in each arm, as she goes through the
door and begins to serve people. Ah, show off.
God, I only picked up two. Breakfast goes. Starts
to place them down in front of everyone. Sarah
will take another trip to the kitchen and then
ensure that everybody here has their own serving
and take a seat. And there's a moment of, I guess,
satisfaction. You know that for all your life
being here and living with your father and sister,
And there's a sense of satisfaction of being
at service to others and having that sort of
sense of community, breaking bread with the locals.
You seem to be content with a simple life. Annie,
you wake up in a large... king -sized bed with,
you know, a four -posed king -sized bed. Another
day. Another day of happiness and joy and jubilation.
Your room is quite well -decorated. Ostentatious,
I suppose, would be the word. You look over to
the bedside. And a photograph sits on your bedside
of your wedding day of you and your beloved Jereb.
You turn over and your husband is currently,
but he's probably already up and about protecting
this great town. Because he's already up. And
she's going to get out of bed, stretch her limbs,
and make her way down to the kitchen, where she'll
make herself some toast. Oh, it's great you're
already awake. Uh, I guess it's time for you
to make us breakfast as he makes his way to the
small sort of dining table. Right. Breakfast.
For the both of us. Yes. What would you like,
dearest? The same thing I have, everyone. Six
eggs in a glass, a bowl of protein, and some
amongst amongst other things. My nuts and berries.
Very good, my dear. And we'll start making the
bread? Making? the cereal making cracking the
eggs everything this is so painful for me sounds
like you're going to cry it's okay just to let
you know that um as you know where there is going
to be a town meeting later so we're supposed
to be meeting at the inn at goddard's inn oh
yes that's right what is this meeting um regarding
again the safety and security of the town. I
think it's time that we build some form of militia
to ensure that the people of this place is well
protected. As he pulls out his sword and puts
it on the table. My dear, you know what I say
about having weapons at the dinner table. At
the dining table. As the man of the house, I
cannot have you overrule my word. Very well.
Just know that it displeases me so. He stands
up. He grabs the sword. I'll see you in a few
hours. Oh, you mean we can't have just a few
more minutes together? Do you want to play this?
Fine. I really don't. I really don't. Jeremim.
Jeremim takes a few steps forward towards you
and has to go up on his little tippy toes. And
he gives you a kiss as he walks out. I love you,
my sweet, my sweet Thunara Thunberg. As he leaves.
Have a good day. Just a quick question. Yes.
Even if he's on his tippy toes, will he still
be able to reach her? He had a stool. Okay. He
had a stool. He had a crate. Yes, a milk crate,
which he's more than happy to make sure that
he's, you know. Getting it there. Make us see
heads out. We wait five minutes. Annie runs to
the window, opens up the door and lets the milkman
in. Hey, you're late. I had to endure that for
a whole minute. There stands Samson. That's right,
you're right. Comment on below who you think
the milkman really was. Let's just make a soap
opera. That's all we're doing from now on. Let's
do this. Oh, yeah. So. Raynor, you know that
there is going to be a town meeting in a few
hours. This big talk of forming a new militia.
And it had presented to you perhaps an opportunity
to leave the walls of Briar Rose. And it is something
that you're keen of hearing about. The call has
been made. And you know that there isn't a lot
of young men, or women for that matter, in this
town. Population seems to be dwindling. But you
are more than... What would be the word? More,
uh, you are inclined to just get out. Because
you're tired of beating this goddamn chicken.
Kadar, the breakfast and our breaking bread with
some of the locals have ended. And it is now
time to prepare the inn for the coming. Okay,
you rabble. Come on, get... You've got work to
do, and so do I. Yes, yes, yes. I shall bring
those sacks of potatoes you requested later on
today, one of them says. Oh, please do, and make
sure they're not green this time. He says as
he walks out. I think he really needs to get
that foot checked out. Each and every one of
them begin to leave, and you can see Sarah. Now
just clearing out the tables, picking up the
dishes and such. So that meeting, it's today,
right? Yes. Yes. They're having it here? Unfortunately
so. Did the Lord request any sort of dishes that
we were supposed to make or any drinks that we
were supposed to prepare? How many eggs do we
have? She looks over. You hear her in the kitchen,
probably rustling through the pantry. We still
got a couple of dozen left, which I think should
be okay. Oh, I don't think it will be. Just tell
him that we've cooked it down and dehydrated
them and put them in other things to say there's
more protein there for him. Oh, of course, him
and his protein. he says yeah my goodness it
doesn't i don't understand where it all goes
clearly it's going somewhere has she you can
hear her now like washing the dishes of what
remains and a few hours go by and now the inn
is beginning to fill with people uh primarily
a lot of um The older men, those who are in their
60s, close to 70s. Some of them are soon to kick
the bucket. You can see that Jeremy has not arrived
yet. Rainer, you walk into this inn. You can
see that there is already a crowd that has formed.
And you feel very confident that you'd probably
be selected as... considering the people that
are here, yeah, you're a lot younger, a lot stronger,
a lot faster, and probably a lot more clever
than the most folks in here. Raynor kind of just
fixes his hat as he kind of looks at everyone.
He's like, oh, hey, Bill. Hey, Frederick. Hey,
Steven. The bald spot's growing in really well.
Yum, yum. Sure is, sure is. Mm -hmm. And that
foot, Steven, oh, God, looks terrible. Okay,
I understood 3 % of that, but that's great. And
I guess we're going to listen to Lord Jeremy
as he arrived yet. No, no, he hasn't arrived
yet. Not here yet. Not here. Not here yet, but
be soon. But I understand Godard and Sarah will
be making some nice food, so at least we're going
to get some of that. Oh, Sarah is here, is she?
Yes. Where else would she be? Okay. Is she around?
You look around and you don't spot her, but you
do spot Godar at the bar. You've known Godar
since... You guys were like... Basically like
pack mates. Some of the few kids that were actually
here. And you guys played together as kids. You
grew up together. You ran around. And... some
would even say that as growing up you two were
best friends since you were the two youngest
one here uh in this town you know uh and everybody
dotted to to the both of you but and then as
you got older there was more sort of responsibility
that was placed upon the both of you and while
the both of you don't get to hang out that much
often but every friday you're here with godard
you know sharing a drink armed and armed arms
on shoulders and everything singing a few songs
Getting real happy. Raynor's kind of going to
go up the corridor and he's going to be like,
I don't see Sarah around. Oh, you don't see Sarah.
Oh, what a shame. She must have had to step out
for a little bit. Well, best that she stays out
of Lord Jeremy's way. We don't want her being
wife eight, right? I'm sure he's happily married.
He doesn't need any more. Did you hear that they're
expecting? They're expecting? Really now? Which
is one of the biggest town gossip currently,
by the way. Connor just started that gossip.
There is huge talk in the town of Annie expecting
a new heir to the house of Jeremy. Yes, I've
been sending... I specifically was told not to
have too many raw eggs. A little bit less than
normal. That explains why I have to feed the
chicken so much. The protein. Yeah, so I'm assuming
that the reason why not as much could be... Right.
Honestly, I am not that surprised. I mean...
He is quite the catch. Yeah, I mean, Lord Protector.
As you're both having this hush conversation
regarding House Jeremim, Annie walks into the
inn. And as you step in, most of the folks, the
farmers and townsfolk, they also revere you and
they all cheer with the sight of you. And some
of the aunties are just coming up to you and
just trying to start rubbing your belly and everything.
And they were like, oh, congratulations, dear,
and all that sort of thing. You shouldn't be
here for this meeting, but okay, they say. I
must be with my beloved husband at all times.
Such a good wife, such a good wife. Yes, now,
I will say I am having quite a large craving
for pickles. Oh, yes. Perhaps you should go see
Godard over there. I believe he'll have some
pickles at the bar. Thank you, Grandmother. And
she's going to walk over to Godard at the bar.
Rainer is there as well, so you walk up to the
both of them. Is Annie familiar with Godard and
Rainer? Yeah, you would have spent some time
considering these two boys. You were also somewhat
of a teacher to them, educating these two young
boys who are now adults. You've seen them...
grow from little babes to what they are now and
i think the timeline matches up yeah let's say
it does but you know you've uh you know it takes
a whole uh village to raise a child and then
entire village to raise these two and you were
there um for much of their um pre -teen years
uh you were their educator taught them science
and english and this mathematics and the like
oh my fair lady what can we do to help you hello
gentlemen good morning she's gonna like ease
herself onto like i'm assuming there's a bar
stool like some kind of chair yeah she's gonna
ease herself onto there goddard i am feeling
uh a craving for pickles do you happen to have
any available goddard there's like the half side
eye towards rainer as well as like the snakes
just like Um, yes. Well, we do have bar pickles
ready for anyone. I'll open up a new jar for
you. Thank you so much. You are so kind. Um...
Raynor, are you able to open this? It's a bit
too tight. Raynor kind of just holds it, kind
of struggles for a second, and she's like, You
know what, Miss Jeremy? Here you go. I'm sure
that you wouldn't want any of us... Like, you
would want to make sure that this pickle thing
is secure and protected. Secure and protected?
Oh, please. I've watched you two grow up into
the fine adults that you are. The two of you
are perfectly fine. She's going to try and open
the jar by herself. The jar pops open, and you
now have an open jar of pickles. She's going
to take a sniff of the jar. Smells like pickles.
No, that does smell quite... Don't, don't...
Oh, great. I knew I shouldn't have put the mustard
seeds in there. I'm sorry. I was trying something
new. This is all right. I can't, I can't look
at it. I'm so sorry. Oh goodness, please give
me those. Grab the jar and just like walk out
the back. I'm so sorry, Godard, please. Can I
help you clean up? No, no, it's fine. I feel
terrible. No, lady, please, do not do this. No,
it's perfectly fine. You look after yourself,
and I'll get you some fresh water, and I'll clean
this up right away. Thank you so much. You were
too kind. Can everyone give me a wisdom saving?
Can I give you an IRA wisdom saving? Please,
God. Because Robert needs this. This is Godar
speaking. Uh, Godar got a 10. Uh, Reiner got
a 7. Annie got a 13. Annie, as you see Godar
beginning to tend to your sick, memory stirs
as if Yes, you know these two, but not as you
say you do. You remember a prison. You remember
a dragonborn who drew blood from himself. You
remember being shoulder to shoulder with these
two in a fight. And it fades. Almost like a dream
that you must have had and only just remembered.
I do believe that sickness is coming from somewhere
else. I seem to have imagined something absurd.
I think the three of us went on some kind of
excursion outside of Briar Rose and we encountered...
Many difficult things. Even fought some of them.
Dragonborn for one. That's ridiculous. Gordar
out of Briar Rose. He just kind of looks at him.
I would never. Lady, I think you've been having
some wild dreams. I do think so. If it's alright,
I might just remain next to you. Next to the
two of you here at the bar for just a little
bit longer. That is fine. I do have to let you
know that I don't have any more raw eggs. I know
that's something you tend to keep a lot in your
home. I do apologize. We cooked them all up and
didn't keep enough aside. I'm sorry. Oh, no,
no, no. You're fine. It is my husband who mostly
eats the raw eggs. I do not participate as much.
Oh, that's good. Okay. Thank goodness. A door
bursts open and... walks in jeremy town folks
at a cheer and really his entrance him standing
there with a uh what kind of t -shirt would he
be wearing this time he's worked he's worn an
anime shirt he's worn the three wolves and uh
howling at the moon what is uh wow what kind
of picture of himself in no i got it i got it
i got it i got it i got it uh he is wearing a
shirt with Annie's face on it. And then with
the words, this is my wife. That is what he's
wearing and he has sword at hand. As he walks
in and Godar, Raynor, when you look at him come
in, give me a wisdom saving throw. Godar got
a 15. Raynor got 11. Okay. Godar. After Annie
mentioned these things, to you while you're cleaning
up her sick. You have this feeling of repulsion
of you doing manual labor. And it's not right.
You don't do this. Oh, what? What am I doing?
Oh, ew. Drops the rag, stands back up, looks
around. What? Where's Sarah? thoughts begin to
swim through your mind and it's as if the words
that Annie had mentioned seems to stir something
within you and you're now seeing a great wall
that you stand before you have a memory of tethering
a mouse man ensuring that he does not run forward.
You remember some form of spider people and webs
and a lot of fire. And again, it now almost fades
and a lot of it is like a photograph printed
on wet toilet paper. You come to. Was it a dream?
That you once had? Don't know. I think something
might have been the eggs or the pickles. Chicken,
man. Was there anything weird with the chickens
recently? You know I hate being called that.
That's why I do it. Well, apart from them being
chickens, not really. stupid annoying birds that
require feeding more times than i eat but yeah
they're fine you look a bit shaken is it i'm
okay um i'm just gonna go and try and find sarah
i'm just gonna try and like walk into the kitchen
like quietly without causing like a scene that
like jeremy would like because you know he's
a server so it's just like slide out of the room
You see, as you're sliding out, Jeremy takes
his position in front of the town's folk. Recently,
as I've been taking my rounds throughout the
town, I have noticed a great number of dangers
that have come closer and closer. Now, while
we do have formidable, formidable, formidable...
Thank you, dear. Formidable guards. I think that
we need to form some form of militia to make
sure that we are all safe. You are so lucky,
Miss Jeremy. Yes, my husband is quite the protective
leader that we all need. I do aspire to be like
him. You know naturally that you can't be. I
think it is time that we form a militia. And
this is something that is very important for
all of us. So, who here will be more than willing
to sacrifice themselves for this? The grand adventure.
Rainer is going to kind of stand up. He's going
to fix his hat and he's just going to put his
hands up as he's kind of walking forward. You
see your granddad there. What do you think you're
doing, boy? You gotta look after them chickens!
And he stands up. Take me instead! As he's like
wobbling with his cane. He's standing up. And
Jeremy is like looking over the both of you.
Ah, it seems that we have some sort of family
dispute. Lord Jeremy, you know that I'm the best
person for this. My grandfather doesn't have
it in him to do the kind of work that needs to
be done to protect our town. Puppycock! As he
walks over to you and pokes you with his walking
stick. My lord, it is clear that the young must
stay. and the old shall be out there protecting
the young. Jeremy looks at the both of you, considering
it. Give me a wisdom saving throw. Rainer got
a 17. Okay. As with the poke, that sharp pain
that pierced you with the, um, uh, his cane?
Now a memory stirs within you. You remember fighting.
You remember injuries that you've sustained.
You remember a birdman. You remember flying swords.
You remember these hounds that seem to disappear
and reappear. For some reason, your body is physically
remembering these... the injuries that you had
sustained from a dream and you have a sense of
something isn't right not right at all yeah but
Raynor's kind of gonna get like as he gets these
sharp pains his body is kind of remembering all
of this he kind of gets into a weird like like
he falls to his knees as he's kind of just remembering
it all Like, he can't really overwhelm himself
with pain. He's kind of just remembering it.
You see a few of the other older men now also
nominating themselves. No, no. This is my opportunity.
And Jeremy sort of just looks down on the people
and looks at you. And Godard, you enter the kitchen.
And you see Sarah. Almost finishing the dish
that she's making. So what's the word? Um...
I... Something's not right. I... Have I ever
left this village? Uh, no. You've always been
here. We've always been... Where did father go?
You should take this, and she hands you an already
prepared dish. Give me a wisdom save. That is
a 17. 17 in total. Okay. To impress the feeling
of something's not right, you're now certain...
in your bones that this isn't right. The fact
that you are doing menial labor is bringing this
feeling of disgust. And it's... You shouldn't
be doing this. Somebody else should be doing
it for you. No. No! Gorda puts down the pot near
by the table. This... This isn't right. Sister?
What is happening? What is happening? She walks
over to you. She tries to hush you. And it's
okay. And she goes in for a hug. A hug that you're
so familiar with. That your sister gives you.
And she kisses you on the forehead. Just try
to calm down. Your eyes close. And embrace the
warmth. of it and then you open your eyes once
more and you find yourself on the floor and you
feel a weight on your chest you're looking around
and you're outside you see the sun or what can
be construed as the sun through the thick clouds
color and The color and life seems to be very
dull and muted, and it seems familiar. Hello?
Your voice is weak, and you can barely speak,
but the weight on your chest, it's quite heavy.
Just trying to catch breath, but, like, that
compressed feeling, just like, as you struggle
and move about you now see that there is a figure
upon your chest and it looks like a grandma who
has their lips just on your chest and you now
feel this sucking motion this sucking motion
on your chest oh oh no no um I'm going to cast
Dragon's Breath and breathe fire all over her
face. Okay. Go ahead and do that for me, please.
As the jaw unhinges, and then the just waves
of energy just ripple out over them. They need
to make a dexterity saving throw, please. DC
13. Okay, so what is the damage? So it is 12
points of fire damage on a fail and half of it
succeeded. So as you bring forth this energy
from you, you hear a scream from this thing that
is on your chest and it sounds like an old lady.
As it burns and rides, as it rolls over next
to you and you manage to pull yourself up and
you now see. uh you now see Rainer next to you
uh also with one of these things on his chest
and you see mouse boy gimbal also down with a
thing on his chest there's this huge inky black
sphere everything is coming to your remembering
now this is a wedding this well it's supposed
to be Annie's wedding with Jeremy you don't see
Annie but you can see as you're coming to through
the inky blackness the inky darkness uh something
breaks through the smoke the darkness itself
and it it is long and it stretches up high twice
of addy's height and you can see almost um a
almost a serpentine figure with jeremy's face
and you can see a multitude of arms coming through
and he looks at you and as he looks towards you
and he yells no oh you're as ugly as your personality
is oh um is going to just turn towards reina
and do the breath attack once again on the thing
on his chest. Okay, same thing where this burst
of energy comes forth. This thing goes writhing
off Raynor as it tumbles and screams in pain.
Raynor, you're there at the inn and with all
this pain that is surging through you, You collapse.
You fall over and you close your eyes and as
you open them, you're outside. And you look around
and now you can hear this, you can hear a multitude
of screams. You're unsure where it's coming from.
Godard, the entire crowd is now screaming towards
you. you can see that these hobbled old people
are like making their way to this uh towards
the stage and rainer what you had just experienced
what you just thought was real isn't and your
memories are now flowing back to you and you
can now see goddard standing Not too far from
you. You remember the darkness spell that you
had cast upon Jeremim and Annie. And you now
also see this large, hulking centipede -like
creature just coming out of the smoke. But this
thing has Jeremim's face. And it also looks at
you now awake. You both have to die, he says
as now we scream. Everybody roll initiative.
Alright, so what did you guys get for your initiative?
I rolled a 17. Gordar got a 10. Okay. Raynor
got an 8. Okay. Alright. Okay, so, Annie, the
town seems to be in agreeance that these old
farmers are now going to be the ones who are
going to be protecting the town from the outside.
They're going to be sent out. There is a celebration
here in this inn. And... Oh, my dear, wait. Before
you send out any of our... precious elders i
must encourage you to please consider raynor

over at least for his grandfather don't you want

village okay don't you want the elders of the
village to finally be at rest you know it's well
deserved they've been working for so long who
The name that you say, it comes to you now. You
realize that you don't even know who you're talking
about. Sorry, I... I'm so sorry. I must have...
I think I need to rest. I think... I think...
We need to celebrate. Because I understand it
that you're expecting. I may be. I've been experiencing
some symptoms, but please, I would rather just
rest. I don't feel very good. He comes to you
and he puts his hands on your hips as he begins
to try and dance with you. Give me a wisdom saving
throw, please. No, please. I must rest. I don't
feel up to the task. He's giving you kissy faces.
Not 20, baby! 21! As you say no, you try to push
him away. What do you mean no? Nobody says no
to me. Nobody says no to me. You're my wife.
You're supposed to do everything I say. And now
memories are flooding in. This isn't your life.
You're not pregnant. You're too old to be pregnant.
touching her stomach just making sure that there
really isn't anything there yeah i am not your
wife i said no we never exchanged vows and i
did not say yes to you get away from me as you
yelled to get away from me everything around
you swirls and disappears and you open your eyes
realizing they're closed and You now feel a weight
on your chest. You can't see anything. It is
just darkness. You just see darkness, but you
do have this weight on your chest as if something
is pressing against you. Someone's sitting on
your chest. What is going on? She's going to
look down and is anyone there? You cannot see
anything. It's as if you are... You're basically
blind. Yep. Great. So let us now go to Gordar.
Oh, good. Oh, how old people. You all smell.
And Gordar is... So give me a quick little breakdown
of what's happening here. So there's darkness
upon the stage. There's the old people who are
running towards the stage. Yeah, so there's a
few of these older people now and you look upon
them. As they're running, their bodies begin
to slowly morph into these hunched things and
you now see several arms begin to protrude out
of their bodies as well. Their mouth open and
these mandibles come out and a tongue, a proboscis
tongue comes out with what looks to like have
some almost like a sucker at the end of said
tongue and they're like just charging towards
the stage uh not too far from you is raynor who's
now standing jeremy now standing ever so tall
outside this sphere of darkness uh wielding his
blades um you see gimbal not too far from you
as well maybe about 10 feet away from you is
has one of these things on his chest where you
can barely see it because it basically, the rags
that this thing is wearing is like essentially
engulfed gimbal with this sheer size and you
can only see his head and he's kind of shaking
his head almost like having a nightmare going,
no, no, no, no, like that. What do you do? Alrighty.
uh goddard is seeing like the wave like how many
like is it just a crowd just running towards
the stage because where is bringer and ike on
the stage as well we're on the stage as well
okay i just wanted to like because i wasn't too
sure all right cool so we're on the stage as
well um as they're starting to run towards uh
goddard is going to bonus action innate sorcery
the snakes flare up the uh magic starts to activate
And I'm going to do Dragon's Breath once again
into the crowd to get as many as possible in
a 15 -foot cone. All right. So it's a dexterity
saving throw, DC 14, please. Yep. But they will
take damage regardless, is that correct? Yes,
they take half damage if they succeed. All right,
go ahead and just roll me your damage, please.
Seven points of damage. Okay. Or fire damage.
Paint me a picture with this. As the snakes flare
up, just like the hissing, their jaws detach
as well, like Gordos does when he activates the
dragon's breath. And then just the waves of energy,
as if in lore where Medusa's eyes go entirely
white or green and petrify somebody, instead
it's just that energy of like a microwave kind
of energy just ripples off from him and then
just burns into the creatures. You can see now...
More than half of this crowd that is charging
the stage all fall over on their back. It sets
them alight, right? Yeah. It doesn't set them
on fire, but it just burns. Okay. So you can
see that a lot of them fall on their backs and
are beginning to writhe in pain, screaming. And
it is a scream which is... Whoa. I guess concerning.
It is the cries and screams of the elderly that
are just feeling this immense pain. And you're
hearing screams of old people as you lay here
on your back. Gordar, is there anything else
you want to do? That is all Gordar can do. Okay.
All right. Raynor, you are up. Yep. So, Rainer
is going to go... He can't see Annie, can he?
Nope. Okay. But he can see Gimble? Yes. Let's
just say he's behind you roughly about seven
feet away from you. So, Rainer is going to take
out his dagger and just attempt to stab the thing
that's on top of Gimble. Okay. Alright, so you
run towards this thing. Go ahead and... roll
me your attack, please. That is 24 with a nat
20. Okay. Hey! Go ahead and paint me a picture
of what happens here. So, Raynor is going to
be a little bit confused as he's kind of just
hearing Jeremy's booming voice in front of him.
He's still kind of very, like, he's trying to,
like, detach himself and try to figure out what
is real and what isn't. As he kind of just sees,
hears gimbal and he's like, as he just kind of
charges and then grabs his dagger from his side
and just kind of stabs his right where it might
be. So you stab into this thing and you can see
it detach itself from Gimbal and you can now
see blood begin to begin to spill from its body
as it twitches. So it does six points of damage.
It's dead. Wait. Is there anything else you'd
like to do? I would like to essentially put a
bardic inspiration on Annie. Do you need to be
able to see them to be able to place a bardic?
Anything that can see or hear me within 60 feet.
I don't need to see them. They just need to be
able to see me or hear me. Wow, okay. So go ahead
and how are you giving this bardic inspiration
to Annie for them to hear you? He's going to
be kind of shouting out loud. I am so sorry,
Annie. I didn't mean that you couldn't do anything.
Annie, you hear him. And you hear an apology
out from the ether. You know it is Godard's voice.
I'm sorry, not Godard, Raynor's voice. Godard.
Raynor's voice with an apology. And you're, you
know, you're coming to with this memory, much
like you realize that what you had just, you
thought you experienced an entire lifetime. of
being married, living in this small town, and
being washed away with your real memories. Skinny
Pete, the prison, and everything to this point
of getting, you remember the wedding, and you
now have a body. Whatever, it's fine! Jeremy
looks at the both of you and sees that you've
taken out a lot of these creatures. no what have
you done he says and he you see his body so uh
twists and contort and his body lowers down to
the ground and you see now his head begin to
peek out from the uh from the sphere of darkness
uh you're hearing a lot of movement annie and
you see uh almost in a flash He glides across
the stage towards the both of you, brandishing
his sword, and he's going to swing at the both
of you. All right, so first it will be Gordar.
And that is a 16 versus AC. As it whips through,
Gordar. No, you don't. And the magical green
shield. Alright, and then it goes towards Uranar,
and that is a... I cannot see, it's a little
dark in my room right now. That is a 17. 17 hit.
Okay, so you see this bug -like Jeremy slide
across the stage as it takes a slash at Godar.
You see him... waves his hands as this magical
field bombs in front of him. And then a sword
comes towards you and hits you onto the side.
And you're going to take... You're going to take
five points of damage. Okay. And then... That
is him. As he... as he weaves his way and glides
across the stage, uh, you can now see him sort
of, uh, he's wrapped himself. His bottom half
is sort of like wrapped around where, uh, gimbal
is. And he's now almost like in a standing pose
in front of you right now with these two blades
still wearing his, um, still wearing his tuxedo
t -shirt. Annie, you are up. Hey. After getting
that hit of rejuvenation, that bardic inspiration
from Raynor, Annie is going to cast... Cast?
She's going to make her eldritch cannon. Okay.
Is that a bonus action or an action? No, that's
a magic action to actually create it. So... I'm
going to say with this pressure that you're feeling
on top of you, you can't really do much. Think
of it as if you're grappling. Oh, really? So
I can't do that? Yes, because you have something
that is sitting on your chest and you cannot
see. That's right. I forgot about that. Oh, what
is on me? And now instead she'll just do... the
giant ancestry ability. That's a reaction. Can
I not react to it? I mean, you have to react
to an action, which in this case, there is no
action that is being, that is started, I guess.
This is an ongoing. This is the first line when
you take damage. That is what you're reacting
to. Yes. So, you can think of a way to try and
get this thing off. Because I'm also just thinking,
Since Annie is, well, since Annie was, I guess,
forced into wearing the wedding dress, does she
still have her rifle on her back? That's a good
point. Yeah, and same with, like, any other weapon.
You would not have your rifle. Yeah, right? But
I would, give me a D100, and roll me a D100,
and we'll... Luck check, luck check. Yeah, basically
a luck. Hold on, before you roll it. We can say
that if you succeed in this luck check, we can
say that you were able to slip in a few other
items. But not your rifle. You would not have
your rifle. So what? Am I doing luck first? Give
me a luck check. 40 and under, you would have
something with you. 55 on that D100, baby. When
you attempted to slip a few things into your
dress, you were caught out by some of the others.
Wait, do you have inspiration? You all have inspiration
still. You can re -roll any dice with Heroic
Inspiration 2024. Okay. You could re -roll this.
Do you want to use that? I'm going to save it.
I have a feeling I might need it later. Well,
you don't have any gear. Since it was any attempts
that you made of trying to hide something within
yourself, you will stop. So what would you like
to do? Okay. And he's going to, like, bring her
left arm above and in front of her as the palm
opens up, casting Tasha's Caustic Brew. Okay.
All right. What does that do exactly? I would
like to know. Okay, so... In the middle of the
palm, there's like triangles that kind of point
inwards. They all just kind of fold out of each
other, looking like a lotus, like a lotus flower.
And as it opens, just like drips of acid just
come out, like a shower coming from her hand.
Alright, go ahead and describe, well not describe,
but tell me the details of said spell. A stream
of acid emanates from you in a line 30 feet long
and 5 feet wide in a direction you choose. Each
creature in the line must succeed on a dexterity
saving throw or be covered in acid for the spell's
duration or until a creature uses its action
to scrape or wash the acid off. Okay, and what
is the DC? DC? DC 13 dexterity saving throw.
Go ahead and roll me the damage. Rolling damage.
uh six damage describe to me how this acid falls
upon one of these things that is on you and how
it is and how it's what sorry removed oh i see
so as this whatever it is is just attached to
annie's front abdomen i guess i don't know how
to phrase this right at the moment you just feel
it on your chest but now with almost this panic
you can also feel some form of almost like you're
getting a hickey on your chest. Oh, it's been
a long time since Annie's got that feeling. Okay.
Okay. As Annie brings the hand forward, it's
just kind of just in front of her face. You can
kind of hear the hissing and hear the drips of
the acid just slowly forming. And the thing,
whatever the thing is that's sucking on Annie's
chest, you can kind of feel the acid dripping
from the things like your head or at least the
top of it and it drips down the face forcing
them to like yeah so you as the acid grips you
feel this uh whatever is attached on your chest
you feel it come undone and a scream comes from
this thing uh again sounding like an old lady
that is screaming and feel it sort of um roll
off your chest. The weight is no longer there.
And scream, go silent. Is there anything else
you'd like to do on your turn? Perhaps even stand
up? Yeah, animal stand up. Alright. You are still
in this darkness, right? If you'd like, you still
have 15 feet of movement, I believe. If you'd
like to move. 15 feet of movement. I think Annie's
just going to run backwards out of the darkness.
Okay. Roll me a d4, because you do not have your
bearings, and this is going to... Where you run
will determine the... Well, the d4 will determine
the direction where you'll run. Or where you
land. If Annie runs into Jeremy's arms. That's
a one. Okay, so you begin to run to which you
assume is some form of direction. And as you're
running, you fall off the stage. And you faceplant
at the ground and you can see now all these old
people, some of them are like screaming in pain
and in dying. And then you flip yourself over
and you can see Godard and Raynor up on the stage
as you're laying there. And you can see this
creature, this centipede -like creature, and
it looks towards you, and it has Jeremy's face.
And you know it's him, not just only his face,
but also his tuxedo shirt that he's wearing.
Ugh. Really not my type. Ardar, you are up. You
are... The more I look at you, the more I want
to... remove my own eyes just so disgusting as
um these snakes are just going to go like the
tattoos start to flare up from underneath the
shirt going down his arm before it ends up on
the back of his palm with two fangs going down
the pointer and the ring finger as uh a larger
bead of energy flicks and then he throws it towards
um jeremy As I'm going to cast Ray of Sickness.
And it has advantage because it is a sorcerer
spell. 21 to hit. That most definitely hits.
Alrighty. 2d8 poison damage. So they take 12
points of poison damage and they're poisoned
to the end of my next turn. Which means they
have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability
checks. You, as you fling this spell towards
Jeremy, you see it make contact. It's poison
damage, correct? Yep. It's all poison damage.
Yep. So he, what's the word? He reels back for
a brief moment, and you can see that the poison
of your spell almost seems to just wash off.
Oh, that is a shame. Um, don't try and poison
him. Noted. Gotcha. All right. Is there anything
else you'd like to do? Uh, Gora is going to...
Because I'm right next to Reina, aren't I? Well,
relatively, yeah. We can see. Yeah, I'm going
to spread out so we're not so clumped up. So
I'm going to walk about 15 feet off to a different
direction. as you've um as you're now beginning
to move uh jeremy looks at you and he goes not
so fast as i need you to make me a dexterity
saving throw with a dc of 14. uh that would have
been a seven but i'm gonna use my inspiration
to re -roll that oh goodness okay third becomes
a 16. okay good raynor you are up so is jeremy
like away from him like how far is he from raynor
oh no he is you are toe to toe toe to toe well
toe to toe to hand hand okay and the old people
that are around like out of the stage There are
no old folks on the stage. A majority of them
are now writhing in pain out on the not -stage
area. That is the best way I can describe the
area that isn't the stage. The not -stage. Okay.
Yeah, well there you go. That's a lot better
than what I can do. What would you like to do
right now? Rainer is going to use Tasha's hideous
laughter on on Jeremy okay so he's just going
to be kind of uh looking at Jeremy he's like
wow I kind of liked you better when you were
short and ugly you're just now huge and uglier
okay could you run by me how does this spell
work once more so what he does is he does a he
pretty much has to make them do a wisdom saving
throw and on a failed step pro they become prone
and incapacitated okay and what's your dc i'm
i'm doing it on second level so it is a dc of
14. okay so he got a 13. so he you see him That's
kind of funny. And he just sort of like falls
to his back with that same. That's so very funny.
And then he goes off with, tries to add to the
joke that you had just made, except he made an
incredibly racist joke against Elsa. Because
that's the kind of guy Jeremy is. Who makes racist
jokes. Is there anything else you'd like to do?
Raynor is going to grab Gimble. And just try
to spread out a little. In the opposite direction
of Gordar. Oh, perfect. Alright, cool, cool,
cool. Alright, so... I'm going to say, once you've
picked him up... You're going to only be traveling
at half speed, so about 15 feet away, okay? Yep,
that's all good. It is now Jeremim's turn, and
because he doesn't have a turn, he'll make a
wisdom saving throw once more. He fails that,
but I think I can use a legendary resistance
to succeed. Oh. Hell no. Oh, yes, you can. Oh,
no. And... He's got legendary resistance, guys.
That was so funny. As he curls up and he looks
at you. Beth, I really like that joke. Here's
something a little funnier. And he... And he
spits towards you. Uh -huh. I want you to go
ahead and make a constitution saving throw for
me, please. with a DC of 30. Rainer got a 12.
Okay, so you are now, as this bile that he has
spat towards you, right, it coats you and you
feel it seep into your skin. You are now currently
poisoned. Okay. Okay, and it is, that is a bonus
action. And he's going to now serpentine his
way, seeing you, Annie, drop off the stage. He
now serpentines towards you, and he wraps himself
around you and picks you up. Oh, my sweet, you
seem to have fallen. Do not worry. I am here
to catch you. Oh, shut up! And he's like, you
feel all these, like, little tiny hands all over
your body. And he's just like, cradling you.
Nope, giant ancestry storm reaction. Fuck that
shit, man. That only works if you're getting
attacked. He is saving you. Go on. No! Disgusting.
Disgusting. Alright, go ahead and roll the damage
for me, please. Seven. Seven damage. Thunder
damage. As this surge of thunder goes through
his multitude of arms that is propping you up,
he drops you from the height that he is at. I
imagine that it's just a little over your, where
he's holding you, it's a little over your height.
So how tall is Annie? 7 '2". 7 '2". So it's from
about 8 feet high and he drops you immediately
and you're back down. And it is now your turn.
Oh, God. Can she now create the Eldritch Cannon,
pretty please? Oh, didn't we say that you had
tools hidden in your metal arm? I thought that
we said we didn't. Oh, well. Oh, yeah. No, that
was one of the things that you wanted. the tools
some of the tools that are hidden in your robot
arm yeah okay all right so that so okay so that
role was just talking about like weapons specifically
yeah okay got it all right so go ahead uh yes
so you've used your action to you get back up
you create this cannon of yours yes i'm like
with this cannon it looks to be a bit more well
built than the ones that she had made recently
even having lace patterns intricately printed
on the outside towards the barrel of the cannon
okay uh and you're placing it uh next to you
correct yes sort of like uh like in front but
also next to annie on the right side of her so
that her right arm is sort of like on top of
it now that you've created your cannon, you can
now use your bonus action to command your cannon.
Correct. Yes. Uh, the cannon takes on... Sorry,
no. What? And he commands the cannon to emit
a force ballista. Perfect. So you should still
see your cannon sheet there? Yes. Getting that
up. So, uh, make a range spain... Uh, what? Make
a ranged spell attack originating from the cannon
at one creature or object within 120 feet of
it. On hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage,
and if the target is a creature, it is pushed
up to 5 feet away from the cannon. Okay. Go ahead
and do that force ballista towards Jeremy, I
imagine. Alright, so go ahead and roll a ranged
spell attack with disadvantage. Because if you've
placed it next to you... You've built it and
it is next to you. Jeremim is within 5 feet of
you. Well, that initial roll was not great. What
was it? The initial roll was 2 and the attack
modifier is 5. However, Bardic Inspiration. So
you... Was that it? I'm going to re -roll that.
No, so you add a d8, was it? Or a d10? d6. So
roll 1d6. Buh. Buh. Adding three. Seven. That's
ten. This force just goes straight into Jeremy
and he is unfazed by it. I think it's like a
bug. It's got a hard carapace. Find the squishies.
Find the squishies? Godot, you're up. The squishy
bits. As I'm going to... So I'm about 15 feet
away from it. Going to walk forwards. Five feet,
and is going to, as a magic action, unleash the
dragon's breath, the fire, the waves of microwave
energy. That's a dexterity saving throw, DC 14,
please. All right. So he got a nine in total.
That is going to be six points of fire damage,
and I'm going to walk back 10 feet. Okay, all
right. See, like that. You can see the impact
it had made on Jeremy. And it is almost devastating
as he goes, that hurt. That hurt. What are you
doing? Stop that. Stop it. He says as best as
he can. Are you doing anything else? That is
all I can do. All right. Rainer, you are up.
Okay. Rainer. he's covered in poison as he kind
of just chucks gimbal in front of him so his
hands are kind of clear and he's gonna turn to
jeremy and he's going to use dissonant whispers
very good tell me how this happens so he's just
gonna be focusing as uh his eyes kind of just
turn towards Jeremy, he's kind of studying him
as he's just thinking horrible thoughts in his
mind. Okay. At Jeremy. Alright, and he needs
to make a wisdom saving throw, is that correct?
Yep, a 14. Okay, he fails. That is great. I cast
that second level, so that is 4d6. 4d6. Go ahead
and roll me that 4d6, please. 17 damage. Very
nice. This isn't, this isn't how this is supposed
to go. What, what is it? And in his mind, he's
just hearing a lot. Are you doing anything else?
He's just going to use the last, like he's going
to use another bardic inspiration towards Gordar.
And he's just going to like point to Gordar with
like little finger guns and go, go, go Gordar.
Very nice. He's a power engine now. Yep. Okay,
so, as this has happened, uh, Annie, you had
just been dropped. Uh, you see he now begins
to serpentine his way towards you, Godar, and
he's like, No! This is not supposed to happen!
This was supposed to be my wedding! As he's,
like, almost coiling himself around you like
a snake. And... You see him. You look up to where
his face is and you see his mouth open as these
huge mandibles come out and he goes, dives in
for a bite. So let us see if he... Oh, your breath
smells as bad as you look. Oh, that is a 24 versus
AC. Yeah, that is. Okay. And you're going to
go... So he dives in and you can feel the mandibles
just dig into your shoulders there. And you're
going to take eight points of damage. What type
of damage? It will be PC. It needs to do a concentration
roll, which I have advantage on for reasons.
I save with a 22. Okay. As he's taken that bite
into your shoulder, it is now Annie, your turn.
Annie's going to command her cannon. to move
a bit further away so that it's not exactly point
blank maybe about 10 feet away you can set it
back but jeremy is now where godar is which is
about 15 feet away from okay so in that case
just 10 feet behind annie um and with that she's
going to command the cannon to do flamethrower
instead okay they're aiming flamethrower for
centipede yeah okay sure uh what is the dc for
that well save dc 13 uh 2d8 fire damage okay
so it is um a dexterity save and the dc was what
13 did you say yes could i give me a dexterity
saving throw please with the dc of 30 you said
it curled around it do i have advantage i'm joking
i'm joking Yeah, no, I'll give you that advantage.
Oh, thank goodness you gave me the advantage.
Why? Why? Actually, actually, wouldn't it be
cast as cover? So I only get like a plus two.
Like half cover. Oh, no, I already said I'll
give you the advantage. So we'll go with the
advantage. Because I did roll a two for a total
of three. And now I have a total of 13 with advantage.
So that was successful. Now he has to roll. Is
there damage on a successful save? Half as much
damage on a successful one. Okay, so he fails.
Oh boy. He fails that check. Go ahead and give
me the damage. What was the total? That was nine
fire damage. So Godard take four points of fire
damage and he is going to take 18. He's doing
another concentration check. I see. dragon's
breath is still here baby this is this is my
wedding no this is my wedding as he's uh as he
turns uh and he does this um you see him now
prepping his sword he's now uncoiled um uncoiled
you i guess uh godard and he goes down on all
uh almost all of his hands and feet And you see
him once again has two blades as he does this
move where he basically swims between the three
of them. And he's going to be slashing his sword
three times. So first on Godard, which is a 17
versus AC. Shield. Okay. You bring up this energy
shield right in front of you as the... Blade
makes contact with it. Annie, that is a 16 versus
AC. Shield. What is your shield? This is the
first time you've shield. What does your shield
look like? So Annie's shield, it comes from the
forearm of her prosthetic arm. And as the chambers
of her forearm open, like a door, same way that
her palm opens. Okay, Inspector Gadget. Yeah.
Anyway, it opens and... It's like a very jagged
oval shape, almost like an explosion that was
just about to happen, but it was stopped midway.
Oh, that's so fucking cool. All right. As it
now begins to serpentine its way towards you,
Raynor. You have the chance to do the funniest
thing right now. I do. 21. I'd love to say shield,
but I don't have one. That would have been very
funny, actually. Yeah, I guess I'm just... Yeah,
nothing you can do. Okay, so you're going to
take five points of damage. Okay. And it is now,
as it... As he... As Jeremim takes his slash
on you, he coils around you, and he's now sort
of standing up atop of you. And... As he stands
there, his mandibles are now still out of his
mouth. And you were supposed to be my wife. This
is not how... And he spits towards you and give
me a... Oh, yuck. What do you call it? Oh, no,
he can't do this. Sorry. No, he doesn't spit.
that's fine he's just like he's preparing he's
preparing to spit okay so that was the canon
and um annie goddard you are up well it just
so happens to be there's going to be a death
at this wedding as um goddard starts to walk
forwards until he's within that 15 foot he's
going to look up at this creature and do the
dragon's breath again so it's dc 14 dexterity
saving throw you now hear a lot of wailing right
all the old old bug -like people that you've
hit earlier are like now dead and shriveled and
you can see the others like now also with arms
growing out of them uh all sort of like wailing
crying and they're like as each and one of them
and you can see them uh Like, a lot of them are
beginning to shrink as well. Are getting smaller
and smaller. It's time to exterminate this bug.
So they take, um... What was the damage? Um,
did he save or fail? He saved on a nat 20. Oh.
On a natural 20, okay. Um, so it would have been
14 fire damage, but, um, half to seven. Okay,
so he's going to... As Gordar walks forwards,
the snake still fled and the crown, the heated
energy just burning into, obviously not doing
as much damage, but you see the wound that Gordar
had from the pincer starts to crack over as if
from stone before healing as I use a brand new
spell as a bonus action. called Arcane Vigor.
All right. So it's a second level spell. It's
a new one to D &D. So you tap into the life force
and heal yourself. Roll one or two of your unexpected
hit dice and regain number of hit dice equal
to the rolls plus your spellcasting modifier.
All right, go ahead and roll that for me, please.
I'm going to use two hit dice. 36s. I've got
four. And seven. plus three so i'm back to max
hp as the flesh like grows over as if it was
from like a mixture of like flesh and stone and
like cracks like stone before falling away and
just revealing like the same uh green scaled
flesh and that is my turn as this energy this
wave of energy hits uh hits jeremy you can he's
now beginning to wail and scream like uh like
the rest and you hear him go no this isn't right
this isn't right this isn't right as he's slowly
shrinking and brainer you see the coils around
you i mean how he's coiled around you he's getting
smaller and smaller this isn't correct this isn't
And before you, you see a centipede. And he goes,
and that's where we're going to end the combat.
Raynor is going to pick up the centipede by,
like, the grossest bit and kind of just walk
towards Annie. There you are. Ew, that's disgusting.
You can't do this! This was my thing! And he's
going to slap the centipede out of your hand,
Raynor. Drops down. As it's dropping down, you
hear his voice. doorway time is but a window
i'll be back as he slowly drops and you can see
the i guess the avenger style disappearing sort
of thing just turns to dust turns into dust and
you see the bodies of all these old people and
these bug -like people are now beginning to disappear
in the same fashion The stage that you are standing
on gives in and is destroyed. And the entire
town itself almost seems to crumble before your
eyes and everything. This town is a ruin. It
is not this idyllic French sort of countryside
setting. It is... ruined buildings and the road
streets is all worn overgrown with uh plant life
uh some of these buildings have been taken over
by uh by vegetation and it is now just an abandoned
well that was anticlimactic kind of hoping to

was spoken and sponsored by Ruth Bobble. and
we are back that was a word from our sponsors
uh please do check them out that's all i gotta
say about that uh and please leave a review and
a comment and a like and whatever on whatever
platform you're on because it definitely helps
small podcasts to be seen and to grow we really
appreciate it comment your favorite emoji do
that or also if you have any questions that we
can use during table talk that would be perfect
too be real awesome so okay very handy let's
get right back into it you now find yourself
in the town center with uh well well what was
once a town you're now surrounded in ruins this
fountain does not have any water in it the vegetation
has overgrown and has overtaken this place Not
too far at the distance of the top of the hill,
you still see the two large buildings. One, the
Delacroix Manor, and also the old embassy. Well,
shall we move on? You see Gimble. Gimble sort
of perks up from the ruins of the stage. What
just happened? Oh, you're alive. Where is everyone?
Where are we? Well, they were all bug people.
They tried to kill us. One of them was up on
your chest and had their lips locked around your
chest and was sucking at something. But I'm a
virgin. What does that got to do with... Not
like that, Gimbal. Gimbal, get your head out
of the gutter. But you said they were sucking
me off. Yep. No, I did not. I said they were
sucking your chest. That's what I heard! Okay,
well, come now. Grab us a rope and just yank
Gimel forwards. We're going up there. Okay. So,
I went to that one, and he kind of points to
the Delacroix manor, and he's like, Jeremy definitely
thought that place was cursed, and the key opens
the huge, it's like a massive rose kind of thing.
Where there was thorns. And then the key just
kind of opens it. That makes sense. Keys are
supposed to open up gates. Yeah, I mean, not
the gate. It meant like the actual vine that
were covering the entire mansion. Okay, now I'm
really curious. And she's going to start going
towards the manor? Yes, as they're walking. We
saw the place and the manor itself. Like it was
enwrapped by these vines and thorns. And after
inspecting it, it was rose thorns. as he said
excitedly, and you approach the gate and you
find that there is a note on the gate. What is
this? And he picks up the note. And you take
a look at the note and it is written quite, you
know, penmanship is absolutely beautiful. It
is addressed to both yourself and Gordar and
it states that If you cannot find Rainer or Gimble,
they are now dead, and they are inside the mansion
dead. Huh. Well, um, Rainer, are you dead? Maybe
a little bit inside. I mean, uh, just a quick
question. And he kind of, like, reaches his pocket
for the gold he collected that night. Do you
still have it? Still have it? He's like, I'm
not dead, but... Honestly, I think we kind of
come back to this and try to find that warehouse
full of gold. Because this place won't disappear,
but that might. You actually have a very good
point. But still, we're right in front of the
manor anyway. Might as well go inside. You're
looking at this manor and it is a... Almost like
a gothic scene. looks like a haunted scooby -doo
-esque mansion and it is enwrapped in these large
thorny black purplish vines and as you even approach
the gate you can see these tendrils almost enwrapping
itself around the manor almost protected in an
embrace Alright, well, what say you, Godar? Gimbal,
what would you rather do? Honestly? I'm a bit
exhausted after that last fight. Not physically,
but magically. But if you want to go in, I'll
follow. We're supposed to also go back. We were
supposed to be back today, this afternoon. It's
okay, Gimble. You know you don't have an opinion
here. Oh. I see. He slumps. That was a little
bit harsh. I'm just protecting him. He's covered
in poison. I'm covered in poison. Only you're
covered in poison. How? He just kind of like
goes towards Kimball. All right, we'll listen
to you one time. What do you want to do? There's
nothing in particular I want to do. I was just
reminding you all that we were supposed to be
back today to report to Samson. Our original
task was to just inspect the area, right? Make
sure it's livable. Yeah, I mean, as far as I
can tell, there were people here that was living
and it was nice. And you're telling me that we've
always been here? What? This isn't where we were.
Like I said, he doesn't really know what's going
on. Let's just move past it. Yeah. Okay. Yep.
That's fair. That's fair. Perhaps some kind of
respite would actually do us good. I still need
to process the fact that I was almost married.
You were married. Congratulations! Not now, Gimble!
Oh. How's the kids, by the way? Pickles. Annie's
going to, like... She was going to grab her rifle,
but then realizing that it's not there, she just
is defeated and she just turns away from you.
You're still in your wedding dress. Ugh! And
she's gonna, like, stomp over to, like, the boutique
or where the boutique was. Yeah, it's not too
far from here. You can... The two of you are
left here by the gate as Annie storms off. uh
headed back towards the village square so you
find the boutique on where the dress had been
made and you know that it is on the second floor
uh he you uh you see the staircase that was once
leading up to that second floor it is no longer
existing it is torn and worn and weathered away
by time oh okay all right And one second, I just
need to confirm something that I can do here.
Hmm. Okay, it looks like I can't just spawn a
ladder out of nowhere. I mean, that would be
an amazing ability, but sure, yeah. Can Annie,
like, walk around the building, see if there's,
like, a back entrance or something that, you
know, could still be entered through and climbed
on? You can, as you, you know what? Give me another
luck roll. Another luck roll. Okay. So that's
my passive ability. I am back down to none. Not
that lucky. Oh, not that one. The D100. Oh, that
one. Okay. 94. Okay. So I was going to give you
a 50 -50 chance of finding another entrance.
right so you would have to get 50 or below ah
but you got so no so circling this building uh
you find that the lower floor is a different
sort of uh it could have once upon a time be
a different store so uh there is no staircase
inside that leads upstairs and as you circle
this building it seems that that was the only
entrance to the upper floor okay all right um
She's looking down at her wedding dress. I don't
think I've actually paid attention to what the
dress is. What does it look like? It's a mix.
It's a Frankenstein mixture of both modernity
and traditional. Because it was made by the hands
of both Godard and the head grandma. And they
were fighting over it. My god, this thing is
dreadful. Alright. I take offense to that. Oh
my god, you're here. Okay. Look, I... Do you
think you can get up to the second floor? I don't
care about my clothes at this point, but could
you at least try and get my gun? Maybe if you
give me a leg up. I can't fly. Can you not slither
up the wall? I'm not a spider or a centipede.
No, but you are. Anyway. All right. Snakes can't...
Hop to it, pretty boy. Goodness. She's, like,
down on... Like, she's crouching down, and she
has, like, the hands in between her legs made
to, like, hoist you up. Yeah. Goddard puts his
foot there, and... Oh, he goes nothing. As she's
lifted you... there is no need for you to sort
of like hop you can sort of just um basically
shimmy your way up but just go ahead and give
me would you say that he would have the upper
body strength to lift himself up if if your answer
is no give me a strength he's below average so
okay so go ahead and give me a strength uh strength
check with nothing more than a mere dc of 10.
come on god i swear to god uh so that's a natural
20 for a 19. okay negative one so you are surprised
of perhaps it is all the walking that you've
been doing or she did throw me yeah and you you
you found it it was a lot easier than you thought
but then you went quite yes exactly you went
over and you are now inside face to face with
the floor you thought you were strong no and
he just basically threw you like a toddler that's
fallen asleep ass up just like facing the ground
into some rubble just like oh oh ow you can smell
the dust and um the age of this place untouched
was it seems to be untouched from the smell you
uh you uh stand back up on your feet and uh the
the broom is how kind of how you remember it
like the layout anyway uh it's just old and worn
and you can see spools of uh well not spools
but those big uh coils of cloth all worn uh eaten
through by whatever creature would eat it and
you can see a table not too far away you can
see annie's um clothes uh her backpack and her
rifle looking over like the spools of cloth uh
see hideous they didn't even finish eating that's
still here just could like kick some of the sport
like the smaller pieces of cloth out of the way
disgusting uh and just gonna collect annie's
gear kind of like one by one grab it walk back
over and get um catch throws the gun right And
then just, yeah, one by one, eventually dragging
the backpack. And then just, I'm not sure if
you want to try and catch this one. Should be
fine! Vex, check, please. On the backpack, catch.
DC 10. Not too much, but it is quite cumbersome,
so. 10. 10 on us, thank you. Alright, so yeah,
you catch it. You, uh... By this point, used
to its weight. And you have caught this thing
with ease. So, Raynor, you are out here on the
street with Gimble in front of the mansion. You're
still wearing the tux that you were forced to
change in. And so is Gimble. Yours being a little
too tight, while Gimble's a little too big. and
just across the road you know that that's where
you made your change with gimbal when jeremy
had forced the both of you to get changed okay
so raynor is having this conversation with gimbal
just because uh they're the only two like still
here essentially so i'm guessing that uh gordar
left gimbal with raynor Okay, so he's just gonna
release their kind of the reins as he's just
essentially kind of just walking side by side.
He's like, Gimbal, you know what that, like,
you know that that's not what suck means, right?
Like, suck off. I'm sure I know what it is. It's
all about the mating of two two Creatures that
love each other very much. And I've had the talk
of the birds and the bees. I know the boys have
told me all about it. Okay. And they always talk
about getting sucked off, getting sucked off,
getting sucked off again and again and again.
But they never took me. But they would tell me
all about it. And they would talk about how some
people would get on their knees and all sorts
of different things. Well, they're not all wrong.
I'll be very upfront with you. But I would say
you need to experience this for yourself. All
right. So what I'm going to say is first, you
need to find a lovely woman for yourself. Wait,
wait, wait, wait, Rainer. I just need to tell
you. I'm straight. So thank you for the offer,
but... Well, you're not listening when I said
lovely woman for yourself. Or whatever creature
you're into. Because remember, it's not about...
Like, whatever you're comfortable with. But as
you said... I'm pretty sure I'm straight, but
thank you for the offer. I wasn't offering. As
he says, thank you for the offer. As he's like,
almost... Imagery of, uh, there's a look of distraught
on his face at this point now. Okay. I really
don't like you, Gimble. These clothes are big
for me. Yes, they are. You look like you're drowning
in them. Yeah, I would like to get changed and
make this a little less awkward. Okay. So we're
going to walk inside this building. In abject
silence. Yes, in abject silence. Raynor is definitely
like the uncle who doesn't really like being
with his nephew right now. He's just like, I'm
stuck with this person. You make your way inside
the building and the layout is all too familiar,
though does not look As it did a few hours ago.
It is in complete ruin. But you do know the room
and where you got changed isn't too far. It's
just down the hall from here. And you take a
moment to explore. And you find just the room.
You're opening doors here and there. And then
you open a door just across the room where you
got changed. And in this room, you find two barrels
filled with gold coins. Jackpot. Uh, what? Don't
worry, Gimble. You stay out here. This room looks
really dangerous. Oh, okay. You just go get your
clothes changed. And if you see Annie and Gorda,
just send them this way. Okay. And he now gets
changed. He heads into the other room and he
begins to get changed. What do you do? Rainer
is going to just kind of inspect these barrels.
They're filled with gold to the brim. Oh my god,
I dreamed of days like this. I dreamed of them.
So, this is my cut for dealing with these things.
And this is also my cut for dealing with that.
and this and he's just taking things and kind
of like oh this is heavy coins are very different
from the coins that rained just from last night
whereas the coins that you had received from
the uh the golden shower That's a term. Sir!
I'm not sure if it's the right term. Sir! The
golden shower that you received the night before.
Was it the dragon? Those were regular -sized
coins, right? With no inscription or markings.
Well, any great markings that it had. But these
ones, these gold coins are large. They are the
size of your... open hand and you pick one up
and you see that the uh the coin around around
the edges it has a draconic script written around
it and in the middle of the coin you can see
a dragon head you turn it over and once more
it has uh on the edge more draconic writing and
in the middle rather than a dragon head it has
two cross tails Grainer kind of inspects the
draconic writing and he's just like... Just a
bunch of squiggles. Great. Um... Maybe Gordak
can read it. Probably more useful for him. Regardless
of the fact... He just kind of like peeks his
head out just to see if Gimble's still like...
Around and not running off doing something stupid.
As he's just like... The door is closed. so the
door is closed okay so he's just gonna be opening
the door really quickly just like gimbal are
you out here no response okay he's dead oh my
god i'm gonna die and then he just kind of like
leaves the door open as he just kind of like
knocks on the door gimbal no response he opens
the door You see your clothes there and you see
Gimble's oversized tux. Okay. He's maybe just
going out to go see Gordar and Annie. I'm not
his babysitter. He is a very capable young man.
I did my best. So I'm just going to get changed.
Closes the door and it just changes. Closes the
door and you get changed. Not a moment too soon.
uh out in the you can hear from out the street
you can hear both uh godar and annie in discussion
why did you have to catch me like that like i'm
not a baby really because you seem like the biggest
one there is okay well i only cried out a little
bit as i fell but it was scary have you ever
fallen like that personally no but there were
literal tears in your eyes no there wasn't um
hello Where are you? Rainer, you hear a, hello,
where are you? Where? Oh, well, I'm over here.
What do you mean, I? Where's the mouse? That
is a great question. I don't remember. He kind
of just escaped. Gimble. Gimble? No response.
Oh, great. Um, God is just going to look around
and see if he can find any tracks or anything
outside. Oh, I wouldn't say you'd find tracks
on these roads. I mean... Maybe give me an investigation
check? You know, it's a bit dilapidated. I'm
sure the wind would have blown in some dirt and
mud and stuff. Can Annie also roll an investigation
check? What are you looking for? Looking for,
like, any signs of... Or even, like, whimpers
of Gimbal being like... As he's being taken away.
All right. You're trying to listen for... Go
ahead and give me a perception check, then. Okay.
I, Gorda, Master Investigator, finder of all,
brought a natural one. Okay. And I have a plus
zero. Okay. Beautiful. There are no tracks, as
far as you can tell. Just dirt. And what did
you get for your perception, Annie? Perception
check, 14. 14. Reina, you now come out all dressed
with your backpack in tow. You do hear... You
think you do hear Gimbal. Annie. But not within
the close vicinity of where you're at. It could
be a couple of streets away. Hello? Hello? Gimbal?
Gimbal! I'm over here! I think he's going that
way, pointing in the completely opposite direction.
That's... You know that it's the wrong direction.
Can you see it? Just pointing at, like, nothing.
Just, like, some indents from the rain. I think
those are his footsteps. Sure thing, Godard,
but let's go this way. I guess you're trying
to get your steps up. Well, if he goes missing,
it's your fault. Yep, I will take responsibility.
As she eyes Raynor. While you two are doing that,
Gorda, I have something to show you. Oh? Come
inside this room. See you, Annie. Good luck with
your... Whatever you're doing. I have something
to show you. Yeah, I have something. Throwing
off that natural one? Oh, yeah, sure. Okay. What
is it? Walks in blindly. Both of you walk in.
Annie, not too far. It's maybe a couple of streets
away. Three, four streets down. You find Gimble,
and he just waves. Gimble, what are you doing
there? Rainer told me to look for you guys. That's...
Come here. Yes? So I was just looking for you
and Gordar. Thank you for trying to look for
us, but we were very worried. Remember that your
life is literally a trade for ours. If something
were to happen to you, it would happen to us.
I was just listening to what I was told. Which
is what you all tell me to do. Maybe don't listen
to Gordar that often. Not Gordar, sorry. That's
okay, I'm a bit scared of him anyway. Sorry,
I meant don't listen to Raynor that often. Godar
is a special creature, but I think he has a brain
unlike Raynor. I think. I can't be too sure.
I mean, if anything, I think I have the most
cleverest brain out of all of us. But yes. Something
wrong with you? Not at all. Uh -huh. Okay. He's
just standing there smiling. You know how kids
kind of like do that, even though he's not a
kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. You said that there
wasn't supposed... Whoa, what was that? Supposed?
Sorry. Maybe you can try that again, Annie. I'm
just proving my point. Alright. Well, you just
proved it for me. And his eyes, like, kind of
twitching at that comment. You said there wasn't
supposed to be anyone here when we first came.
Was there ever a village long before what we
witnessed? Well, yes, before the war. This town
was part of Antili soil. This is where we had
our embassy. Right, and speaking of the embassy,
what are we getting again? We're not getting
anything. We were supposed to ensure that this
place was safe enough to bring the rest. Right.
Would you deem it safe, considering that we were
just attacked by insect people? Well, I don't
know. We're in a completely different place now.
We were in Briar Rose earlier, where it was all
nice and... Pretty and all those people were
there. And now we're just in this. I don't even
know. And then I was knocked out or something.
Something was on my. Something was weighing on
me. And then I woke up and we were here. I don't
know where he is. I see. Well, we're still in
Briar Rose. What we saw when we first arrived
was just an illusion. You're just pulling my
leg as. He gives you, like, that sort of gentle
punch on the leg, you know, the ah -ha -ha -ha,
and just, like, that playful punch, pulling my
leg. We're somewhere else now. Okay, Gumball.
And she's gonna walk towards Raynor and Godar,
where they went. Let's go back to the both of
you. You both enter this ruinous building. Mm
-hmm. Raynor is gonna go straight towards the
room with the barrel. Hey, not so much about...
What are you hurrying for? What did you find?
Did you see two large barrels of gold, Gordar?
Gordar's just draw just drops. Oh my goodness.
You can understand now why that little mouse
was my least of my concerns. Is this real? It
is real. It starts picking it up. It's like feeling
it. Does it feel real? Uh, it's... how much do
you know of actual gold gold i mean as far as
you can tell it is gold he's a rich boy he's
done a lot with money yeah then i would say that
yeah you you know this is gold my goodness what
is this engraving and um as he reads it uh he
does understand draconic but it's like serpent
hole so it's not yeah one to one as best as you
can tell it's just house of coin And it has a
year of... Mintage? Is that the word? Yeah. It
just says House of Coin, Matushia, and then the
year that it's been minted. These are real. I
don't know how much we'll be able to carry back
with this, though. We have Emi! Do you think
they'll confiscate them? They will confiscate
it. I know them! Oh my god, that is a concern,
then. Can we hide it from them? I don't know
how. I don't have any magics of that sort. Me
neither. Maybe Annie. Annie, you enter the building
with Gimbal in tow. You can hear, both of you
now hear footsteps. I hear them. Quick, put the
lid on there. Trying to cover it up. There is
no lid. It is two open barrels. Okay, well then
he would go and meet them at the door and kind
of like step out of the room. Okay. Annie, as
you enter the building and walk a bit with Gimble,
Gimble's like, and I got changed over there and
that's why I've got my clothes on. I've put away
my hazmat suit because I don't think everyone
seems to be fine after two days. Oh. There's
Gordar, and he points. I walk up and be like,
Um, Gimbal, we're gonna head up to the mansion
now. Okay. Annie, um, Rayna wanted to speak to
you for a second. I'm going to grab the rope
and, like, start heading forward. He doesn't
have his leash. What? I'm putting that leash
back on him now. He's left it wherever he got
changed. He's not wearing his leash. He's just
got his clothes on and his backpack. Okay, well,
I'm grabbing him by the scruff of the neck and
I'm dragging him. Okay. But I'm not letting you
walk free because you just disappear. I was only
doing what I was told. Yes, well, you're doing
what you're told now and staying at the end of
my hand. Come. He's following along. Annie, you
enter the room to which Godar directed you to.
Raynor, what is it? He kind of just puts his
hand out presenting it as he shows you like the
barrels full of gold. Oh. Gold, Eddie. Gold.
A whole heap of them. Two barrelfuls of these
large coins. Wow, that is a lot of gold. Yeah.
Is there anything we could do to hide it? To
hide two giant barrels? Like, could you melt
it down and then, like, put it into one big gold
thingy? Well, I mean, if we melt it down, it
could ruin the value of it. Okay, let's not do
that then. I mean, we could. If you, you know,
want to take one part of it for yourself. And
then, you know, Gordar and I can take a few of
our own. And then we can just melt down the rest
and sell it off for money. We could also save
a couple of coins and give it over to, like,
the museum or some kind of archaeologist. They
might have a fun time with this. Okay, okay,
we don't need to do all of that. I'm just saying
it's a good way to get our names out there. You
think they're going to let our names go out there
with a bunch of collars? As he kind of like puts
his kind of thing down so he can show the collar.
He's like, we're a bunch of slaves. True, but
I believe Madame Delacroix also said that if
we behave and if we act like the good, sweet
citizens that we are, we might get an early...
What do you call it? An earlier ounce of freedom.
She said longer leash. Alright, we'll do it your
way, Annie. You're the most knowledgeable about
this kind of situation, so I trust it's in your
hands. Great, and speaking of hands, how do you
think we get this out? You're strong. Annie's
gonna lift up her right arm to show skin and
bone. What do you think I do with this? Okay,
you're not strong. Okay. What do we do? Okay,
how about we take as much as we can hold, we
bury the rest, and we come back at a later time
with a wagon. Bury the rest? I mean, that's going
to be a bit hard to get out of here with the
encampment coming here, right? Because that was
their goal. Oh my god. Why do we have to deal
with this? I don't want to say goodbye to you.
Is he just talking to the gold? kissing it caressing
it um give me a second and she's just gonna like
look in her bag i'm assuming because like she
has a pouch and a backpack the pouch is the bag
of holding yeah okay bag of holding bag of holding
hmm Okay, if I'm not wrong, just because I don't
have the description of a bag of holding. None
of you know about it. None of you know about
a bag of holding, by the way. Yeah. I know. That's
why I'm so surprised. I didn't want to interrupt.
I'm like, motherfucker has a bag of holding.
Bag of holding out? What the fuck? She's going
through her pouch right now, just trying to dig
through it. She doesn't have actually a lot in
there, like barely anything. Nothing's in there.
The only thing that's in there is like ammunition
for her rifle and some lubricant for her arm.
That's it. I mean, I would say one for me, one
for me, one for me, one for me, one for me. Visibly,
I think you could, your bag could hold all of
it. All right. Rainer, can you do something for
me? Yeah, I can try. Do you have like a bag on
you or some kind of sack that you could let me
borrow for a little bit? I have a backpack. Okay,
do you mind just holding these bullets for me
and just this oil flask? It'll be quick, I promise.
I can do that for you if you are doing what I
think you might be doing, which is holding something
more important. Yeah. And with that, she's going
to set the pouch down on the floor, open it as
widely as possible, and she's just going to,
like, how do you call it? Like, dip her hands
into the pile of gold and just kind of throw
it to the pouch that's on the floor. Okay, so
because of the sheer sizes of these coins, you
could take a stack of five at a time, probably,
and just carefully put them in there. Okay. God,
this is heavy. You are now witnessing witnessing
this Annie just shoving coins after coins after
coins after coins in her sandal. You can do that.
Yeah, I mean, look inside. It's a void. Does
it? Is it? Can you pull it back out? What do
you think I just did with my ammunition? Oh my
god. Can you build more of these? Um... Possibly.
Annie? Raynor? I am your biggest fan from just
now. Whatever you want, I will do, as long as
you build one more for me. So long as we just
stay alive, I can build more. Anyway, at this
point, I'm kind of hoping that Annie's filled...
the pouch no sorry at this point i'm hoping that
annie has moved a bit more than half of the barrel
uh barrels worth of gold into the pouch so now
she's going to sort of tip the barrel so that
it all just flows straight into the pouch yeah
it could be a bit messy that's fine we can always
just shove more inside outside rainer I'm not
ready. Sorry. Godard and Gimbal. What is this
constantly getting us mixed up? Come on. They're
not alike. You hear a clink and clank of metals
that seem to echo. I'm dragging him. We're just
going. Yeah, so you're across the street, basically.
No, we're going to the... Oh, actually, that's
right. It's just across the street. Sorry. And
it seems to echo, almost echo throughout this
whole place in this silence. Is it really that
noisy? I'm, well, because there is, it's not
that it's noisy, where you are is devoid of any
sound. Okay. Well, if you have a handful of gold
coins, it's not going to make that much noise
you can hear in the next building. No, you won't,
but you're hearing this. Okay. You're definitely
hearing a lot of clink and clank. Uh, Gimbal?
Yes? What did you see when you were inside this
building? Like, when you were here last? like
trying to like peek into like through the gates
and through the brambles and wait this was the
building that was at briar rose yes we're at
briar rose no we're not yes we are no we're not
gimbal briar rose was pretty and it had those
nice buildings and did you go to an A magical
school or a normal school? It was a school for
magic, but I didn't study magic. Gora is going
to cast Minor Illusion on a nearby, like, piece
of rubble and make it look new. A new rubble?
Oh, wait. Like, the wall is, like, it's, like,
clean. It looks not, sorry, yeah. What, what
does that look like? A wall? And then lets it
go. And then it just goes back to its crumbled
form. And now what does it look like? Ruins.
That is what happened with this town. But...
It was an illusion. An illusion of that scale?
Did you not see the giant centipede that was
trying to kill us? No. Raynor was holding me
in his sweet arms and then he tossed me. Gimble's
just, uh, Gimble. We're all mixing up face today.
Goda is just staring at Gimble, just like, I
thought you were supposed to be smart. I'm very
smart. I didn't see a centipede. I didn't, all
I, all I remember was. All I saw was a nice village,
which was Briar Rose, and then I woke up to this
ruinous place. Now, if you're suggesting if it
was some form of illusion, then something very
powerful and very strong would have been able
to cast that sort of illusion. And if you're
going to suggest next that it was Jeremim who
then casted said spell of that strength, I would
argue that... Since we had spent time with him,
he is an individual who's incapable of even casting
the most simplest of spells. Did you ever see
him try and cast a spell? How could you make
that assumption that he cannot cast a spell if
you did not see him try? We had him hog -tied.
You cannot read his aura or be able to tell just
by looking at someone if they can cast magic.
We had him hog -tied. If he was magically inclined,
I imagine that he would have already gotten it
out of that quite quick. Gimble, he wanted us
here to sacrifice us. He was just in love with
Annie, and he just wanted to marry her. Then...
no. Yes, that's what the wedding was for. Why
is it that you believe this random person and
not the person you've been on the road with?
Because he was kind of nice to me and the people
gave me nice food and yummy food. And now we're
just somewhere else and there's no nice food.
Well, if that is what you want to believe, then
you can. But you're an imbecile. He pouts. Pout
like a child. and god i was going to uh try and
enter through the gate yeah the gate is the gate
is open yeah uh and push through and just start
to like inspect the not and go beneath the building
but just like inspect like the ground like the
like gardenish area you can see as you're circling
said ground uh the thorns and vine sorry the
vines seem to react to your presence both your
presence and they seem to move and swim and dance
as it uh they get closer to the building once
again these huge vines wrapping itself around
the building almost hugging it in a warm embrace
oh that's concerning Any idea on how we can get
past that, Kimball? Raynor had... Raynor did
something that made it react. He had something
in his hand. I didn't quite see what it was,
though. Ah. Well, I don't think we're going to
get any further. We might need to go back and
get the others. Okay. Annie? With you filling
your bag, you find that that's still with the
first barrel as you're trying to pour it in.
Like, obviously some of them had gone through,
but at this point now, the more you try to put
in, it just basically spits it back out. That's
not normal. No. So... You know that your bag
still has its limitations, so it can hold about
500 pounds, basically. And you managed to put
in about... If each of these coins weighed about
a kilo, then you would have managed to put in
about 226 of these giant coins. All right, well...
So there's still one barrel that is full of coins,
and now you have a somewhat empty barrel with
some of the coins around the floor and such.
Okay. Well, it seems like my bag of holding isn't
so infinite. Hmm. I wonder if I can make another
one. Could you? What do you need? Let me double
check first. I'm literally looking at magic item
plans for artificers. As an artificer at this
level, I think you can create up to four magical
items. Is that correct? When you reach certain
artificial levels specified in the magic items
column of the artificer features table, the number
of a magic item you can create at the end of
a long rest increases. Okay. But currently it's
four. That's how many plans she knows, but she
can only make two. Two. Okay. Well, no, you're
at your limit then. So your arm counts as one.
Okay. And the bag of holding. So that's two.
Hmm. Quick question to the DM. Hmm. Are you able
to homebrew this? In what sense? Like, if...
If Addie were to transform her arm into a new
bag of holding... It would not function the way
you'd want it. It would just be... No. Damn.
Because it has its own magical properties for
it to fully function the way it does. Yeah, that
makes sense. Well... Goddard, did you say you
were going to walk back in? I said we're going
to start heading back. Okay. Well, not a moment
too soon. The two of you do return and you have
now entered the domain of this house. Hello.
We think we're going to need all of us there
if we want to actually enter this mansion. I
was like, I was like just starting to enter.
He's calling out. Yeah. One minute. One minute.
All right. Rainer, are you satisfied? What's
going on over there as Gimble's beginning to
walk over? This is just what we can carry, but
we can still have a few more on us. Gimble opens
the door. What are you two doing? Oh, shut up,
Gimble. What? What are those? What are those?
He walks over and he sees the gold that has just
been spilt on the ground and He sees the large
barrel of gold. Did you guys find this? Yes.
And now you're a part of it. He picks one up.
Wow. This is... And you see him turn his head.
This is dragon coin. We can get a lot of money
for this. Told you. Do you know a guy? Oh, goodness.
Look at this gold. I don't think I've, I haven't
seen, I haven't seen coin like this at all. Yes,
this is the very first time I've seen you. This
is larger than what I'm used to dealing with.
I'm not sure how much we can carry on hand, but
I guess we need to fill our pockets. You see
Gimble already filling his bag. He's got as much
as three in there. All right, Raynor. So until
we decide what to do with these coins, and she's
pointing down to the bag of holding that's on
the floor. Take your fill. Take what you want.
I guess that's the case. So how much can we all
fit? Samson's going to love this. There's so
many. Oh, real dragon coins. And he's looking
at it. Annie's leaning down to Rainer. We don't
tell Samson what we... Sorry. I'm going to restart
that. We won't tell Samson how much we actually
have. Of course. But we do need to take care
of Gimble. He's fine. Look at him. He's having
such a fun time. He's too busy staring at the
coin at this point. Gimble, are you able to help
me put a couple in my bag? Yes. Okay. the one
he's holding, you see him, he puts it in his
bag, and then he closes it up. Um, okay, and
he's, like, picking them one by one, and he's,
like, beginning to put it in your bag. Maybe
about an additional five in yours, so that's,
like, five kilos. Hmm. Alright. Oh, we went to,
um, Rainer, we went to that building, and...
It was doing those things with the vines, like
before. Oh, did you use a key? Oh, is that what
you were holding before? Yeah. Yeah, so, no,
um, you have the key. Oh. I see, I do have the
key. Which makes your return here a bit of my
fault then, I guess. That is my bad. I don't
know how we're going to bring all these. I mean,
we can leave it here for now. It's been safe
here for the last eight years, so I imagine that
it will still be here when we return. This is
a lot. Indeed. And Annie's gonna grab, like,
five pieces of the draconic coin and put it in
her pouch. Your satchel is full. No, no, no.
Oh, backpack. Okay. That's what I meant. Backpack.
Yes. All right. Yes. No, that's fine. Uh, so
Gimble has four. You have, uh, Annie has five
in her backpack. How many would you like to have
in your backpack? Uh, Godard? I'm going to go
with five. And Raynor? I probably would take
five as well. Okay. So you guys got five each.
Well, uh, five each in your backpack. Gimbal's
got four, and you have 226 in your bag of holding,
Annie. Yeah. Alright, well, it seems we have
filled up on our coin. Let's go inspect this
mansion, shall we? Mm -hmm. Three of you make
your way out, and as you're walking down the
pathway to this manor, you can see the vines
once again react. to your presence as it moves
and swims closer to the uh the mansion itself
and once again just hugging it you can see old
top well what was once topiaries are now shriveled
up uh shriveled up bushes and you are now he
face to face with this with this man Raynor is
going to take the key out of his pocket and just
walk forward as you approach the door closer
and closer you can see as if uh these vines are
accepting uh calling to the key as it begins
to lax and open open itself up to you and you
now come face to face with the door on second
thought annie oh wait not annie annie has to
uh pouch godar yes i'm right behind you i don't
understand why you're calling out can can you
do the door please why don't you do the door
you're standing right there it could be i mean
like but you're the most like ready for a fight
you know no i'm not with the snakes and everything
the cool thing when you do your jaw thing comes
out all right i'll just do it no Just staring
at you with, like, the dumbfounded face, just
like, what is wrong with you? So he undoes, he
just, like, puts the key in and just turns it,
and he's just wincing, ready for, like, something
to come out and explode. You turn the key, there's
no explosion. You hear it unlock. Thank God.
Okay, after all of you. The door is still closed.
Just get a move on. God is just going to push
him back. He just gets pushed into the closed
door. He's like, I got it. I got it. Opens the
door. You open the door. And then just... And
you step in? Yes, he steps in. As you step in...
Well, when you open the door, you can see that
the manor inside is dark. It is pitch dark. But
as you step in... the house explodes no lights
turn on the gas lamps uh and it brings illumination
to this room uh it is a stark difference between
what you've been seeing out there and in here
here it is almost untouched it is clean it is
pristine And as all these lights turn on, the
chandelier above also turns on. Welcome to Delacroix
Manor, sir. How may I have served? And that's
where we're going to end this episode. Okay.
We got gold, baby. I like that gold. Very much
rich. imagine it just converts to like 20 cents
yeah that's exactly what i'm saying uh gold is
not the most expensive metal in this world unfortunately
so um yeah it's depreciated just to be clear
just to be clear it's very common um as you've
entered the house you do hear that voice welcoming
you okay and we will continue that from uh next
uh next episode For everybody to find out. Everybody
say goodbye. And everybody say thanks. And everybody
say goodnight. Bye. Bye everyone. Goodnight.
Goodnight Mrs. Zoghmanek. Wherever you are. Who?
And welcome back. We are now on our table talk
portion of the podcast. Uh, so... How was it,
guys? What a session. We beat down the sink!
We did! Yay! The trash incel! Whippy! Gone. The
guardian of Briar Rose. Oh my goodness. A shame
we couldn't kill him, though. Yeah, seriously.
I wanted Annie to step on him so bad. He would
like that. I know, so then she was going to use
her cannon and flamethrower him. God, what a
simp. I should have killed him when I had the
chance. I don't like the opening sequence of
this episode. Yeah, I loved it. I'm not going
to lie, I was so lost to begin with. I was so,
I was like, damn, like they must've like chatted
about it beforehand and like going with it. And
then it came to me. I was like, wait, what? Oh
no. This is, this is improv. Shit. It seemed
like, cause it flowed so well. Like, like Ava,
you instantly just like clicked in and just like,
it just worked. It seemed like this was planned
beforehand. And I was like, oh, okay. They're
having that little moment thing before we get
back into the combat. And then I got thrown.
It's like, oh, you, you've owned it. Your father
owned this bar, like this pub, like this, this,
and you know, now it's yours. And I'm like, oh
no. Oh shit. Running it with your sister, Sarah
as well, which was, yeah. yeah oh my god i loved
it so much that was so good did you love it because
you had a picture of a uh of a life of happiness
of being married no i loved it because that's
just like your dm like style that's like just
the exactly like you know the thing that you
would do and it's like yes in terms of the story
i fucking hated it yeah i mean i think we all
did i i every time like i'm happy he's gone I'll
be honest with you. I'm very happy he's gone.
So you don't have to do the voice anymore? No,
he... Like, when I did the art for Jeremy, like,
I literally had to take several breaks because
I felt sick. I felt sick drawing him and, like,
just knowing who he is. And just all these things
about his personality, because there's more to
his personality... Well, I say... personality
air quotes to him like because i i have i know
who he is i know what he's like and like it just
makes me sick like i try to pepper in some of
that information like how rayner made that joke
and he comes back with an off -handed sort of
like racist yeah right he's the type of guy that
would say the n -word ironically air quotes right
he's one of the yeah he's one of i feel like
he's that type of person and he didn't mimic
any memes this episode which i completely forgot
about um yeah i'm not gonna lie i was kind of
like in the dream sequence i'm just like when
is he gonna mention annie's ghat like i don't
want him to but when is he i oh god yeah like
just he is literally the worst And I'm glad he's
gone. I'm not gone forever. Brother! It's infectious.
Bella's doing it now. Alright, let's get some
highlights. Some cool stuff that happened. Like
one bit that you really, really liked. Let's
start with you, Bella. I... I actually just really
liked the dream sequence. I thought that was,
like, sick. It was really cool to have that insight
and just to have all of our characters enter
that space, but also come to the realization
that, like, oh, no, this is not, no, no, ew!
And then, like, wake up, instant combat. I love
that. If it were a home game, that would have
been a lot longer, I think. I think I would have,
not essentially drag it out, but play it out
for, like, a entire session. and but i also at
the same time i just wanted to get rid of jeremy
honestly as the person who edits this i respect
that i still have two episodes to edit oh man
all right highlight next one please all right
um i did love the dream sequence i like the fact
that uh I am glad that we all instantly switched
on to that and rolled with it. I liked seeing
Raina's... It was very different. It seemed natural
that both Gordar and Annie would, if there was
a dream sequence in this area, would fit into
there. I wouldn't have even thought about where
Raina would go. And him being the farm boy who's
supposed to take over the chicken farm, but he
dreams for more and leaving, I'm like... Yeah,
I wasn't expecting that. Because it stemmed from
last time when he was asking for directions and
it was just that old man who was yelling at him
about feeding the chickens. He was like, you
gotta feed the chickens! And then he's just like,
yeah, yeah, okay. And then for him, his tube
sequence was feeding the chicken. Personally,
I thought it was so funny. But I also wanted
to pepper in this whole idea of wanting more
than what he has now. you uh you played you played
that really really well like the fact that like
the three of you like it was just like sprung
on the three of you and then you guys just played
off perfect absolutely perfect i didn't want
to like try and like push for like you know metagame
and be like i'm gonna figure this is not real
like i was trying to like let that flow like
a little bit more naturally and the moment you
were like yeah you're doing it and then instantly
he was like i need to find my sister because
you know that's he's like support system so he's
instantly just like sister and then her just
like going up against it as well it was just
like i was feeling as a person was like that
was great oh geez and then just like the relationships
all the characters had in this different world
it was just hilarious that like it still shone
through i don't know if it was on purpose reyna
but like gorda because he's his formal stuff
i had him still use call um any lady as if lord
and lady but reyna wasn't doing that he was calling
like very informally and um gorda was still sticking
to those like you know higher posh kind of traditions
of here's your title and i really enjoyed that
just that little thing still a bit of their personalities
were still there I liked it too I liked it very
much okay one more highlight that we need Avia
yeah so for me the dream sequence was real fun
because like I think for me it was Annie who
had to like kind of deal and you could see Bella's
pain to the camera As they like you gave her
the entire order of like eggs and this and that
and it was really funny. Raw eggs. Raw eggs.
Yeah. I also really liked Gordar because it was
such a different thing for him to kind of be
this like you feel content and I was like oh
really because last episode was delegations so
yeah but also i was really interested because
as um as a player i really wanted to play it
out like this is kind of how reiner would think
so him even going to annie and just being like
no you wouldn't you can't do that because this
is the world we live in this is the town we live
in like And then him immediately waking up and
saying, I'm sorry. That was really good. You
guys did so well in that. Just watching it all
unfold before your eyes and watching your reactions
was a real treat for me. I always love a little
dream sequence. I always find it interesting.
but it was yeah it was just well done you guys
did really really well uh i have a non -dream
sequence one too though which was gorda and annie
both having to talk to gimbal because you could
tell that like both of them were kind of like
so gorda doesn't warm up to gimbal but annie
was kind of warming up but then the more that
conversation went on in the street the more you
could see annie just going okay Enough with you.
And then Gordar showing him like, no, this is
an illusion. He's like, but they were nice to
me. I had food. That couldn't have been an illusion.
Gimu frustrates me to my core. I hate this fucking
mouse. If our literal explosion collars were
not tied to him. Oh my god, no. He's going to
be here throughout the whole campaign. Yeah,
buddy. Can you give him some character growth
where he's not? Well, we'll find out soon enough.
I mean, he is leashed up, so who knows if there's
any growth in that or not, or if any frustration.
We'll find out. He's being carried by the gruff
on his shirt. Gruff? He, from last episode and
this episode, he's slowly showing a bit of sass.
He is. Which is kind of freaking me out, actually,
because I was listening to it and I'm like, who
the fuck is this mouse child? Gimble has been
confirmed to be the big bad. He is going to take
you all down. By the way, Gimble's the final
boss. Thank you, Larry. just thank you larry
for whenever i be mean to gimbal and i feel like
i've crossed the line he does something so stupid
that justifies it i'm like yes sorry please wait
until after i can learn polymorph just a little
more about gimbal since we're on the topic of
him while he did attend the university he didn't
do magical studies i don't know if we mentioned
it in the podcast but like uh biology and um
i think i told you guys at one point but it was
off uh off off the books but yeah he did a lot
of um a lot of that sort of learning there and
he would have been uh he would have lived in
the dorms so he shared his room with several
other boys who i guess by the sounds of it left
him out with a lot of things just from the interaction
that he had today but i i love i love i love
the dynamic that gimbal has with you guys i think
it's absolutely fun it's such a good thing to
see you guys how you guys react to him and like
him not buying the fact that like yes i know
yeah i know of illusion magic but like at this
scale hello that's like some powerful shit sort
of thing you know and he's like getting a bit
cocky and the way he's talking there it's just
like what do you mean this it was jeremy couldn't
have done that what do you mean he was stupid
and then like god i was just like you know what
fuck you i'm walking away i'm done with this
conversation there's that point At that point,
the business venture is over and it is not worth
continuing. Okay, I think we can end this on
with questions. One of each to which I will try
to answer. So, let us start at the top. As always,
Bella. I guess, like, just from general curiosity,
is there any special symbolism of, like, Jeremy
being a centipede? I wouldn't say symbolism.
Well, like special meaning then? I did not have
that in mind when I designed that creature. It
was more or less this would be cool. Okay. Look,
in essence, I didn't know what he was going to
be. I knew that the townspeople were kind of
bug -like and were like attached in a way to
him right but i'd never considered on what creature
he might be i i was considering on how to do
this fight whether he would just carry his sword
and just be like this really amazing air quotes
folks uh swordsman right and he would fight against
the three of you uh but then i figured because
the townsfolk were like i i made them to like
these bug things i go it only makes sense to
make him the same and i had like images of oogie
boogie from nightmare before christmas and i
was going to have like each time i didn't want
to do it each time um one of the elder the elder
bugs died but to sort of have that oogie boogie
my bugs my bugs so i don't know if you've seen
it but at the end where uh jack skeleton pulls
a thread from boogie boogie's um sack body all
the bugs come out and that was also another idea
that i had that he was going to be filled with
bugs yeah yeah and yeah so i just made him essentially
a giant centipede it would have been cool as
a cockroach but i like the idea of like because
i was thinking up of how he would attack sort
of thing and i like the idea of like the center
p just weaving between you guys and just like
slashing so that's why i went with center p and
also the last thing he said was a um an homage
to ghostbusters 2 which vigo the carpathian says
when they destroy him he says death is but a
doorway uh time is but a window i'll be back
so it is a ghostbusters 2 reference so okay next
question please um i don't really have wow question
how dare you i demand her well i'm just here
i like i enjoy the ride i like finding out in
game i like that kind of stuff so like that's
where i find a little enjoyment is what my character
wants to know and then asking like in the world
and finding that out like i'm super excited we
are so far away from it but if we ever hit level
10 i get the spell legend so looking forward
to just casting that and be like larry give me
law larry give me law about this thing i will
get there i have um for this um for this particular
campaign i i've already sort of like mapped out
um sort of like the baseline of the story that
that not only i want to tell but explore with
you guys and see how where the story goes with
how you guys interact with it and it being a
podcast it is going to be a little more on rails
unlike our home games. But I still think it'll
be interesting enough for not only you guys to
enjoy, but also the audience. And I'm excited
to have this open up and see once the bigger
pieces start falling into place. So I'm looking
forward to that. Level up? No. no and also we
still might have one more question avia do you
have a question i do but it might be a question
it's going to be difficult for you i'm still
gonna ask what did what do you think happened
to wives one through six well yeah i think like
i had like i even though it was like kind of
like an offhanded comment that he made like i
never sort of like written down all i knew was
that like he he had previous wives i think it
would have been very much like a blue bead sort
of situation um the grim fairy tale and i imagine
that uh if you um he would have essentially in
a way like they would he would have taken these
women uh like almost like kidnapping them and
they would obviously resist right and say no
i don't want this shit this is bullshit to the
point where he would get like frustrated and
abusive and sort of to the point of killing them
much like uh blue so but yeah there's a little
of that and i kind of like I guess it was a slight
hint to that, where he did begin to attack Annie
as well. So, saying, no, this isn't how it's
supposed to be. You made me do this! You know,
that sort of thing. That is the worst. He is,
he's so... He's literally the worst. Well, hopefully
by the next session, hopefully we can find an
NPC who is much more bearable. But we'll see.
I'm just going to make someone worse than Jeremy.
And then finally they'll like Gimbal. No, there's
no way you're going to make me like Gimbal. Just
someone worse than Jeremy. It's never going to
happen. That's not how you should make someone
like a different character, by making worse.
In contrast, Gimble would be pretty good. No!
It's still bad! Rob, AVA, we're killing them
as soon as they come on. We're killing them.
For those who can't see... It's like dropping
a bomb in one location and then dropping a bigger
one elsewhere. Exactly! Now you're on my same
train of thought! No! Good night, everybody!
Good night, Mrs. Zuckmonick, wherever you are.
Wait a second, let me think for a second. I am
so scared right now, genuinely. Where am I going
to go with this? You wake up next to Jeremy.
Please don't let them be cuddling. No. Where
am I going to go with this? As you grab your
two children. No, God, no. You wake with two
children by the foot of your bed. No, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
