Donnie table talk

Shit.

Rich table talk

Wasn't Craig already in here?

Pat table talk

Yeah, but Craig's got a recording time limit that we almost never hit, but we get close to.

Rich table talk

Oh, shit.

Rich table talk

Got to make sure the cut's hot then.

Rich table talk

There is extortion to plan.

Pat table talk

If I had a drop at the ready, I'd play it.

Ozan table talk

Oh my God, that was so good.

Jake table talk

Drops set already?

Ozan table talk

All you need is just like little clips though, like a soundboard.

Jake table talk

but look,

Pat table talk

I do have all the clips ready. I just don't have a good soundboard set up.

Jake table talk

I've been looking for a soundboard for a while.

Ozan table talk

Do you have that pass-through thing where you can directly pass audio files into your mic?

Pat table talk

Yeah, so I've passed through using... A virtual audio cable.

Jake table talk

Yeah, that's why Pat has

Pat table talk

Yeah, it's just virtual audio cable. It's a program that you can send audio to and that sends it to another thing.

Jake table talk

Hence why there's a plaid scientist and a rad scientist.

Pat table talk

But... Yeah, and so Plaid Scientist was my drop guy, so I could do that on my laptop, talk on my phone. But it kind of sucks to set up, because then if I ever need to use my laptop audio for anything, I have to unlink all my shit that I've already fucked with in my audio settings. Damn.

Jake table talk

And that's what I'm saying. Like, you can just, you can just do one of these and put this shit on standby. Like, that's what I'm saying. Like,

Pat table talk

more streamlined.

Ozan table talk

Oh, yeah.

Jake table talk

Yeah. He's literally put these headphones just right on standby. It'll just drop it all.

Ozan table talk

I haven't figured that shit out myself. So I don't even know what it takes. But I do know that you're giving it permissions to do things that you probably shouldn't without verifying who wrote the thing.

Jake table talk

Oh, it takes a minute fucking around.

Pat table talk

The audio thing?

Pat table talk

I don't know. It seemed legit.

Ozan table talk

Usually that involves drivers, and drivers are very low-level shit.

Pat table talk

So, Ozon, are you in this game? Do you want to go and appear somewhere in hell, or...?

Ozan table talk

They'll do it for free.

Rich table talk

You know, you say that.

Ozan table talk

I think the team has plans to resurrect me, Pat. So, you know, I'll just wait for that.

Rich table talk

We're doing these.

Pat

Great. Can I go find a cleric in hell?

Donnie

I was wondering the same thing, but...

Rich

Okay, so our plan is to get out of hell and immediately go buy a reservoir.

Pat table talk

Oh, okay. We're just going to get out of hell in the first 10 minutes of the game.

Jake table talk

Yeah, totally. Right. Sounds like a great idea.

Ozan table talk

Yeah, make it happen, Pat. Make it happen. Come on. You're the boss.

Jake table talk

Come on, come on. Speed this up. Come on, chop. Chop. Come on.

Ozan table talk

Let's get ready for a party wipe.

Rich

I made it.

Donnie

It's going to be okay.

Rich

All right. Let's fucking do this shit.

Jake

I don't mind all my rolls. I was just checking stuff.

Pat

Two quick fate point count. Ozon, you said you used one during your character creation or no?

Ozan

I have.

Pat

You have.

Ozan

Yes. I think I have too.

Pat

You think you have two left or how many did you use during character creation?

Ozan

That's my accounting, but I'm interested to hear yours.

Pat

How many did he use during character creation?

Ozan

Just one.

Pat

You had more than two.

Ozan

See, this is wired to best, yeah, Pat, you say things like that.

Pat

You have now, you have four according to my records.

Ozan

I'll take it.

Rich

That sounds about right.

Pat

I've been keeping track.

Pat

You had five, and then you used one during your character creation, and now you're down to four.

Donnie

I also used one for Jake.

Pat

You use one for Jake, I didn't record that. OK, you're down to three.

Ozan

You don't remember how we got the whiskey, dude?

Pat

Now I do.

Ozan

Could have all been dead.

Pat

So Ozone has three fate points, Rich has one, Nuddy has zero, Jake has zero, Donny has one. Jeff, if he ever joins, has eight.

Ozan table talk

That's what we need to do. We need to get people in here short term and then use them for their fate points.

Jake table talk

Shade.

Jake table talk

Yeah.

Ozan table talk

I have to start farming fate points.

Pat table talk

Look, man, as much as you want to crash the FatePoint economy...

Jake table talk

Dude, stocks will plummet. Let's do it.

Pat table talk

You got to get in here, man. You fan from the fucking game. Fuck you, Jeff.

Donnie table talk

I know.

Pat

Worthless. Use all your fucking... You're out of fate points? Get the fuck out of here.

Jake table talk

Jeff, he's here with the pay points. I'll pay you back.

Pat table talk

You guys were so nice to me last week.

Pat table talk

So where we last left off. nutty had gone a little crazy decided to kill ozon pretty effectively by the book he threw the book at you we learned a lot about spells and attacks of opportunity and damage and how it rolls in the dc checks and casters just got a lot weaker in my game

Rich

Yeah. Like I got to fly away every time.

Pat table talk

Let's see.

Pat table talk

Yep. Ozone's dead. Jake died. Jake used his whimsy wall effect to commune with the deity. Paylor made him a servant of his, and a paladin to spread righteousness throughout the land and hell.

Pat table talk

Now, Macho Man, Paladin, Tick. And now we have, still stuck in a boat, we've got a bunch of drow that have just been diplomacy, coerced into coming back to open up the chest with your guys' help with the ship. There's an apocalypse box sitting in a hat. There is a lost gem with... what's the other character's name? Atza, with Atza's soul in it somewhere. And he is a lone vessel on the ground, slumped over still. That's where we are.

Rich table talk

Well done.

Pat table talk

I just mentioned the drow.

Jake table talk

What kind of axe was that over axe?

Pat table talk

over x.

Donnie table talk

I heard over, I was thinking about fighting game moves, you know?

Jake table talk

Ogre X.

Pat

you got like a you got like a bloodthirsty axe a long time ago

Pat

Yeah. Yeah, it drinks blood.

Jake

What kind of axe is it?

Rich

Can you as a paladin use something that drinks blood?

Jake

Mm-hmm. The blood of my enemies.

Donnie

I mean, it drinks the blood of his foes. It's not necessarily a bad.

Pat

It is a,

Pat

Let me look it up.

Jake table talk

It's a good guy with a gun, Rich. Jesus Christ, where have you been?

Jake table talk

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a good gun.

Ozan

Wait, who's your god again? Who's your guard again?

Jake

Paylor.

Ozan

Paylor?

Jake

You can't find him because he's a 3.5 guy.

Pat

This is 3.5, guys.

Ozan table talk

Well, I mean, I can find him if he's a 3.5K.

Pat table talk

No way, dude.

Ozan table talk

Watch me.

Jake table talk

forever

Ozan

Paler, deities, greater god, neutral good. who's kind of actually similar to Dan Saranye, right?

Ozan

with her

Pat

Jake, that was a battle axe.

Jake

Two-handed battle axe.

Pat

That was a one-handed melee weapon.

Jake table talk

One handed. Hahaha.

Donnie

you can get yourself a shield though.

Donnie

Oh, I was going to use tower shields, kind of.

Jake

Yes, they can, but it costs a fee.

Ozan

You know, I had a shield on me.

Donnie table talk

We might have a shield on the ship. Have you gone over the loot list?

Donnie table talk

The one in Discord from a little while ago?

Jake table talk

I did, but I forgot everything in it, but I'm sure

Ozan

I had a claw hand shield. It's one handed, I think.

Jake

I was gonna actually, I was gonna go maybe like a buckler build, but fuck that shit.

Donnie

No, buckler, only if you're using it like a two-handed piece. sword, Regina Blair.

Jake

Or do weapon fighting.

Donnie

Yeah, exactly.

Jake

And then I'd be, well, and then I would treat that buckler as an actual shield. And then you, there's a whole thing. But it takes too much. I got excited.

Ozan

Yeah, it's a plus two mithril heavy steel shield, dude. Maybe you should use it.

Jake table talk

Totally gonna use it.

Jake table talk

You're a G.

Ozan

probably somewhere around the spray of blood by where I got backstabbed.

Jake

I start cleaning up ozone and trying to wrap and preserve his body and shaking my head.

Ozan

By the way, I was a follower of Saranye. So are we including D&D guys in here, or are you actually following

Jake

I'll pick a payload.

Donnie

You need new armor and shit too, right, Jake?

Jake

No, I'm good.

Ozan

Like, is Paloar another greater god that does something very similar to Ceranri?

Pat

He's a greater God.

Pat

Yeah, he's one of the main ones in 3.5.

Ozan

What's...

Jake

He was like...

Ozan

But yeah, what I'm asking is in this game, what is his relationship to Suraname?

Jake

Her daddy.

Pat table talk

You spell Saranrae.

Ozan table talk

It's basically paper.

Jake table talk

I said Paylor last night. I'll find it.

Ozan

Surrender is the neutral good major guy.

Ozan

also called the Dawnflower, and that is, oh, no, the Dawnstar is the Paleo Relic.

Ozan

But anyways, the thing is, Jake, I was a follower of... Greater God, that's also a neutral good.

Jake

Good.

Ozan table talk

And you probably knew that because I was pretty open about it.

Jake

That's why I'm the only one who's trying to preserve your body right now.

Ozan

Let me tell you what else I got.

Ozan

peaceful. Oh, celestial armor. Do you want that? I don't even know what that shit does, but...

Jake

Of course they do.

Ozan

Yeah, that's good shit.

Ozan

can use fly on command once per day.

Donnie

Which is a character that can't fly, let me tell you, it's pretty handy.

Jake table talk

Oof, man. Say no more.

Nutty

Jake, if you get greater trip, you provoke or they provoke tax opportunity when you trip them.

Jake

Really?

Rich

Nice. Yep.

Jake

Oh yeah, that's it.

Ozan

Jake, there's also a cloak of resistance plus four. I don't know if that's useful to you.

Ozan

Through the headband of Allure and Charisma plus two.

Jake table talk

Yeah, oh my god

Jake table talk

Yeah.

Ozan

That's not all. There's a circulative persuasion.

Jake table talk

Jesus Christ.

Ozan

And then there's obviously the demonic bagpipes.

Jake

Yeah, I remember those. It blew out all of our eardrums.

Jake

Sick.

Ozan

Oh, and I have the five coins spelling lols. You might find those interesting.

Donnie

Yeah, this would be good to have.

Ozan

I think I also have a sex net on me actually.

Donnie table talk

You can't have that.

Ozan table talk

I have that in my head most, maybe just for information.

Jake table talk

Doesn't leave the ship?

Ozan table talk

We have just taken notes.

Jake

That clicker is the score to all checks, right?

Ozan table talk

Where did Pat go?

Donnie table talk

I didn't realize he wasn't here.

Jake table talk

No way. He was awake. He was ready. Probably...

Pat table talk

Oh, fuck. I was muted for hell long.

Donnie table talk

No.

Rich table talk

Did I call?

Ozan table talk

What's going on here, guys?

Donnie table talk

All right, well.

Jake

Like I said, I'm wrapping a boson for transport.

Rich table talk

Well,

Rich

I don't know, am I free to take an action at the moment?

Pat

Yeah, everyone's free to take an action. There's nothing going on right now except for the drower waiting patiently for you to... No, you can't take an action, actually. We're in the middle of initiative.

Rich

I cast.

Rich

I cast mass suggestion. Okay.

Donnie

Bye-bye.

Pat table talk

Yeah, I forgot about that.

Pat

Okay, since I can't remember initiative order, and I always save it on a notepad that gets closed. Everyone roll initiative again.

Donnie table talk

the chat here.

Pat table talk

Oh yeah, I can actually scroll back up.

Rich

well i'm glad that we're doing that because that rear roll is rough

Donnie

Rich's last initiative was an eight.

Donnie

Mine was a 13.

Donnie

Only 1d20 plus 8. They rolled a nat 1, so they got 9. So me, them, Rich.

Ozan

Damn, Jake, with those bagpipes, you can do 150 damage over three turns. 50 foot radius. DC 24.

Jake table talk

Damn, that's fucking nuts.

Ozan

yeah only against chaotic or evil

Rich table talk

Jesus.

Jake

And that cloak of resistance, that's all saving throws, right?

Ozan

Yes.

Donnie

Well yeah, because your will save is the worst than the Paladin.

Jake table talk

it's not. Reef likes this.

Nutty

It cannot be corrupted, Donnie.

Jake table talk

No.

Donnie

My will saves the garbage and barbarians are the finest I think of here. I'm just thinking melee characters.

Rich

But not with power.

Rich table talk

All right.

Rich

So I am confused because like, why did it turn to initiative? Because I don't, like it's not gotten violent in any way.

Donnie

We were in the middle of fighting those guys because the one guy went through the fucking door, failed, and then the other intern was like, hey. And I botched that fucking blitz roll.

Pat

Yeah, he left with a natural one. And he was like, oh, I...

Rich

I thought Donovan was the only one locked in there.

Pat

And then he was just like, oh, it's a bot. He was like, what the fuck?

Donnie

were outside with them. I was inside.

Jake table talk

the blame game. Why don't we just, why don't everybody put their fingers down?

Pat table talk

guys are just adding to each other's throats.

Rich table talk

I wasn't.

Jake table talk

Right?

Jake table talk

those blaming fingers.

Jake table talk

Put them in your butts.

Pat table talk

I know. One, two, three, four. me

Ozan table talk

What are we waiting for?

Pat

Donnie, what do you do?

Donnie

If I remember correctly, I deactivated the trap already and came outside. No. I'm inside the door. And I had shouted at them to come and get me. I had not deactivated the

Pat

No, you were inside and that whole thing happened. Initiative started. It's now your turn. So whatever you want to do.

Donnie

I got your friend come and get me.

Rich

What the shit?

Pat

What's this guy's intelligence? Intelligence. Not super high. Make him roll for it.

Pat

16 is pretty good.

Pat

He yells you. He says, fuck you. Get out of here.

Jake

I can see you through the window. Ha.

Donnie

I deactivate the trap and step outside.

Donnie

And...

Pat

Where's my friend?

Donnie

You know, he just walked downstairs. There's a refreshments down there?

Pat

Rolling to the bluff.

Donnie table talk

Yeah.

Rich table talk

You know, I'm sitting here literally with math suggestion on cue. Your turn has to be done before I can do anything.

Donnie table talk

You should probably use that.

Jake table talk

Yeah, Donnie, hurry up your turn, you fuck.

Rich

And you're No, I just don't come out here if they're going to kill you. I don't want to fight. We still got ploys to throw.

Pat table talk

And after you, is that turn?

Pat

You got refreshments?

Jake

Hmm.

Donnie

Here, hold on one second. I closed the door. React to trap. So yeah, feel free to let yourselves in. laughter

Pat

gets another roll of the bonus because that's some weird ass shit you're doing.

Jake

he walks in like

Pat

You get out of here.

Jake

of

Pat

Come on in. Hold on. Let me just set up this trip.

Jake

it's the fact that he goes inside. He goes inside and then shuts the door and the guy hears the lock and he's like, come on in.

Pat

And then yells through the wall.

Pat

Fuck you, dude. Fuck you holding the shotgun behind the door. Whatever.

Jake

Exactly. Oh, here's a click.

Donnie table talk

You know?

Jake

Click. Come on in.

Pat table talk

turn.

Pat

Rich, are you on the ground behind them or are you just chilling?

Rich

I'm, you know, floating a little bit behind them. Yeah, let me view down to where the actual scene is.

Pat

Okay, so...

Pat

I am going to actually, since these guys are on a different level, It doesn't make sense for them to be, they're not actually by the boat. Going to put them right here. Are we all in agreement that they would probably want to access the ship and not be a million miles away?

Jake

Agreed.

Donnie

Who wants to access it?

Pat

Basically, I had, you couldn't see it on my screen, all of the drow were off screen in a weird place. I'm putting them where it makes sense for them to have followed you.

Pat

They're not in any sort of... They're just in whatever order I had them in when they left the room down the hall. The only thing it does is it actually flanks Rich, so if you don't feel too threatened by that surprise...

Rich

That works.

Pat

That's where they are.

Rich

I'd like to be in back.

Jake

I'm still stuck in the room where we killed the demons as a celestial bear.

Pat

You can be in back.

Pat

And they can be huddled up. And you're still in the room where we killed the celestial demon? Okay, that was like in the boat.

Pat

That was in the boat, right, where you killed the naughty demon?

Jake

I'm looking at my dead snake's body right now.

Rich table talk

So I think yes, but God knows.

Jake table talk

I'm not. Don't fucking listen to that guy.

Pat

Where are you?

Jake

You know the place where we killed the two demons? Where Richard killed my snake? I'm there.

Pat

Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, way over there.

Pat

How are you over there? That's hella far away.

Jake table talk

I was gonna ask you the same thing, but then people just keep telling me no, so.

Pat

I mean, you just got resurrected in the ship. Bye, your God.

Donnie

he found the apocalypse and ran back to the ship. I don't know if that character ever got moved again.

Jake

No.

Jake

No, like my character screen, like all I see is that.

Pat

like you're still in, you can only see that room. Got it. Okay. That's because you're that thing. Can you zoom out? Can you not see your other character?

Pat

Right here.

Pat

I'm pinging it.

Jake

I see it. I see it now.

Pat

Okay. Yeah, that room with the demons. You were that weird elemental... and you still have vision on him.

Pat

Sweet. So you're on the boat. There's a bunch of drow that followed you guys up right here. That's where they are. If their lighting won't let you see it. And it is their turn. And they walk up to the boat, and they're stepping on Atza's body while they do this. They're stepping over, and some of them aren't being very gentle.

Rich

Hello, poor Atzi.

Pat

Two of them turn around. Look at you back there, Rich. One of them is dragging the chest back with him. And he's like, I fucking you. I fucking the chest eyeballing you. And then these three are yelling at the ship, like, give us our fucking friend. Like, I trust you. I trust you for shit. These guys are like, oh, fuck, you don't come near this chest. And they're like, look at you, Rich, from down the hall. And they are all in full defensive.

Rich

Yep.

Jake

I can just see them with my eyes. Are they all evil?

Pat

It is Rich's turn. They are... You have detect evil with your eyes, eyesight.

Pat

Did you take the gunslinger, the gun thing?

Jake

No. It's just at level 3.

Pat

Okay. Because that... Yeah, because that replaces the detective a little bit.

Pat

Apologues detect evil spell and you can as a move action concentrate on a single item so this will have to be in your turn. That's a move action. It's Rich's turn.

Rich

All right.

Rich

I am going to...

Rich

one moment to check the details on it.

Rich

I'm going to... turn around and act as though I'm looking the other direction and reach in for actually no I'm just going to stay where I am and cast mass suggestion and say hey you guys should go I'll go check the door together sometimes it's just a bit sticky

Pat

Ask, Suggestion, Path

Pat

Spell functions like suggestions, one creature, suggestions. Okay. Saving throw.

Rich

Will negates and as mass suggestion is a six the saving throw will be

Rich

Let me see. Sorry, loading speed. 25.

Pat

Pretty high. You just got a permanent intelligence boost, too. Yeah. Okay.

Rich

Yeah, 25 is the save.

Pat

Okay. 7 plus 7 fails. 3 plus 7 fails. 17 plus 7 succeeds. Wait, fails? Yeah, it's 24.

Rich

Fails. 25.

Pat

Fails. Fails. Yeah, great, man. Fucking success. Okay, so they have all been suggested. You influence their actions by suggesting a course of activity limited to a sentence or two that must be worded in such a manner to make the activity sound reasonable. Asking if it's a little harmful, negative effect, suggesting a course of activity continue for the entire duration. Which is 11 hours. Wow.

Pat

They all go and check the door.

Pat

One by one, they triggered the trap.

Rich

All right.

Pat table talk

Excellent work.

Rich

Alright, so we can either stay here or we can teleport the fuck out after we find Nutty Soul.

Jake table talk

Choochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoochoo

Jake

Did Nutty lose his soul?

Rich

I got another cast to locate object on that gem.

Donnie

There you go.

Donnie

You have Nettys, Jim?

Rich

You have the gem?

Jake

Yeah, the one that they touched?

Pat

Yeah, where is it?

Jake

It's in my hat. I wrapped it in a...

Rich table talk

Ha!

Jake

I wrapped it in some skin that I... I skinned a motherfucker.

Donnie table talk

I was going to say, you did wrap it in skin. I remember this now.

Pat

Do you look in your hat?

Rich table talk

Because you did not want to touch it.

Jake

I envision the gym in my mind.

Jake

reach in the hat without looking at it. So that's silly.

Rich

That happened in front of all of us. He like teleported. He disappeared and then reappeared and all of us were like, yeah, no, it's fine.

Jake

I pull out

Pat

So you're reaching around randomly in your hat for the gem.

Jake table talk

If you say so.

Pat

I don't know. What are you doing?

Jake

Like I said, I envision the gym in my life.

Pat

There's a couple objects in your hat that there's an object and you might not want to touch. I'm just wondering exactly how you're doing this.

Jake

Isn't this how the app works? I just envision it in my mind and then I go and I reach in.

Pat

That's how Hanny Haversack works.

Jake

Isn't the magical hat the same thing as the handy havers hat? Just better do a hat.

Pat

No, it's a hat of holding. It's a bag of holding, which doesn't do that.

Rich

It's just a bag that is larger on the inside than is on the outside. A handy paper stack.

Pat

Just a big-ass loose bag. Haversack has a special ability that is listed on the Haversack. But this is a bag of holding stitched into as a hat of holding.

Pat

So I want to know how exactly you're going about this.

Jake

Okay, perfectly. Thank you for making that clear. I go down to where one of the drows are being held and I wake one of them up.

Rich

Wait.

Donnie

You should probably just give Rich the hat to use Mage Hand.

Pat

Why?

Donnie

Let Rich reach in with Mage Hand.

Rich

And I can be locating object while it happens.

Jake

Yes. Perfect. Yeah, let's do that.

Rich

Never see it, just know where it is. Pick it up. With the major.

Jake table talk

I just poisoned the well, dude.

Rich

But once we get his soul back, what are we doing? Just like, throw it on his body?

Jake

We beat the shit out of them. We bring them back to life and we give them a good old fucking once over.

Pat

Got worked over by the fucking Abyss Boys.

Jake

We get his soul back to his body.

Rich

And by the way,

Donnie

If his soul is trapped In there.

Rich

It'll switch out with the next person who touches it, so maybe yeah, we'll tap one of these guys with the gem.

Donnie

Yeah, so just put it, like, grab it with Mage Hand and put it in Nutty's... Just touch Nutty. See what happens.

Rich

And if we really, if we're just staying full evil with it, we can always just

Rich

and then we'll have a soul gem filled. Maybe we can repair the cracks with that soul gem.

Donnie table talk

Sounds... far-fetched but

Jake table talk

Sounds like my hopes, yeah.

Rich

I don't know. I don't know.

Jake

It was an idea, man.

Pat table talk

Sounds like you're trying to recharge your vacuum cleaner with batteries you found.

Rich

It's powered by blood. Is repairing it with souls really the

Jake

Yeah.

Donnie

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

Rich

You don't know. You don't know.

Pat

Like, these things are both electricity.

Jake

It seems to run off electricity.

Rich

If I had enough 12 volt, if I had enough 12 volts, I could hypothetically run one for a moment. Not efficiently, but it could be done.

Pat

Yeah, okay. If you had 10, you could run it for a second.

Jake table talk

Don't try to win Pat over with battery talk. All right. That's. Yeah. Yeah.

Pat table talk

But like,

Pat table talk

But like a second. That's a quick way to my heart, Rich. When we're talking about batteries and hypothetical situations, I'm down.

Donnie

I don't know.

Jake

Yeah.

Donnie

I don't know.

Rich

Again, all I want is a second out of this.

Rich

Proof.

Jake table talk

I love rich brothers to the head.

Rich

So

Pat

All right, Rich, what do you do?

Rich

going to cast another casting of locate object this time on this the shiny red gem

Rich

Okay. Somebody hold open the bag and I'm not going to really look inside it, but...

Jake

Me and Rich just maintain eye contact.

Donnie

I turn the other direction.

Rich

And while like making sure I'm not looking over the lip, can I sense where it is?

Pat

You sense the direction of it actually like 15 feet behind the ship, not even in the bag.

Rich

Close the bag. I want to go look into this. I fly near the back of the ship.

Pat

That's where that is where you sense it. Look at the arrow on the screen.

Rich

Alright, working on it. Fly.

Rich

Where is it?

Rich

Was just on the ground over here.

Pat

It's just on the ground. I remember you went underneath this path. You went all the way around. And then you went up here. It took us quite some time to get there.

Rich

What?

Pat

because that's how the maze works. But it is on the ground right here.

Rich

I pick it up with Mage Hand and then do a return loop.

Pat

Okay, you have the gem with Mage Hand.

Rich

poke nutty in the face with it.

Pat

Noddy, your soul transfers from the gem back into your body.

Rich

Ha.

Rich

One back.

Jake table talk

Ryan, we're fucking we're one for two boys. Here we go. Here we go.

Pat

You were isolated in a gem for so long. Roll me a

Nutty

Thank God.

Pat

Roll me a D100.

Rich

A sanity check.

Pat

and roll below 30 or 30 or below. and you will know the entire layout of the dungeon. You do not know the entire layout of the dungeon.

Jake table talk

Yeah, Pat, how dare you dangle that sweet, delicious carrot in front of my fucking

Jake table talk

I would have done it.

Nutty table talk

It's so handy.

Pat table talk

If they point it.

Nutty table talk

I don't have any.

Jake table talk

Ha.

Pat table talk

Ah, the sweet FatePoint economy.

Jake table talk

I'll do fucking... Pat oils his chest up every time he fucking hears it.

Nutty table talk

Ha.

Pat table talk

Every time I hear that, I don't have any big voice.

Jake table talk

and

Nutty table talk

Just nipples.

Donnie table talk

Ha.

Rich table talk

I do not approve.

Donnie table talk

cable guys

Pat table talk

but you want some...

Jake table talk

I'm sorry.

Donnie table talk

Does this inconvenience you?

Jake table talk

Is this inconvenient to you? Oh, we're so sorry.

Donnie table talk

I don't know.

Pat table talk

can give you one rich could give you one

Jake table talk

I was not going to give you one.

Pat table talk

I was on Stead.

Jake table talk

Ozone can still use his fake boys.

Rich

No, I don't know if they're...

Jake

They're character-bound. Oh, fuck you.

Pat

Hosanna needs an active soul in the environment.

Pat table talk

Fucking logic. You could call up Jeff to join in the session for a second and sling a fate point at you.

Jake table talk

I make up rules on the fly, so I'm happy all the time. Those are my

Pat

Nutty, you're back up. Doop.

Nutty

It's been out for like a day and a half, two days.

Pat

Yeah, you were actually out for about a day and a half in-game.

Pat

You have no recollection of anything except for just being hella bored in a crystal. So

Rich

Dude, you fucked up.

Nutty

Don't touch the chip.

Donnie

but

Nutty

Ha.

Nutty

You guys didn't touch the jab, did you?

Donnie

No. No, we saw what happens with that gem.

Nutty

Deal the demon?

Donnie

Say that, yeah.

Jake

I look over at Nettie, Shiny, and Chrome.

Pat

Lost a lot of good men.

Pat

fucking holy symbols of Palo all over his body.

Nutty

What would we call that over there?

Pat

What the fuck happened to you?

Pat

Used to be cool, man.

Jake

Your demon killed me so I killed him back.

Donnie

That's Tick.

Pat

You know, holy servant of Paylor.

Donnie

You may or may not have killed him and he came back as a bull paladin.

Pat

makes sense.

Nutty

Okay. All right.

Nutty

you know, normal things in hell, I guess.

Donnie

another day

Rich

I dumped out a... or actually not dump out, I grab a little pouch, put the gem in it with Mage Hand, and then I put the gem in my Handy Haversack.

Jake

I used my lay on hands on, Dutty.

Nutty

any damage on me I don't think.

Rich

Beware the soul-stealing gem.

Jake

It removes fatigue.

Nutty

Majestic creature. And I softly rub his hands as he rubs, which lays on my hands.

Jake

Ha.

Rich

So we have essentially now enough people to power this thing for a moment. We fill up the wall, like we could totally just get out of here right now.

Nutty

pretty convenient for me. I literally go down, we're stuck in hell, and then I wake up, and then everything's solved. Jake's all golden, and we got enough fuel to get out. It was nice. to get trapped in stones more often.

Jake

I start going over to the drow. I go over to the drow and I massage their stomachs and their arms just so the blood flows faster.

Rich

I don't know about that. It didn't work out so well.

Nutty

Try bending the cracks at all.

Jake

I rough them up a little bit too because they're drought and this place sickens me.

Rich

okay so

Pat

That's what you guys do.

Donnie

Well...

Jake

Beat the shit out of the drought. What do you think I'm doing?

Donnie

We're going to strap the draw up. Actually, I'm going to go through. What have they got? I'm going to go check their bodies.

Rich

Check the pockets.

Pat

Okay. One of them, who looks to be the leader, is equipped with a

Pat table talk

I'll just post it.

Pat

Okay, this is on the first person that looks to be the leader.

Jake

Boots of Blending Speed.

Rich

Oh shit, yeah.

Pat

And then the other

Pat

Five have this.

Rich table talk

And in the bidding wars, anybody mind if I get that amulet?

Jake table talk

No, you good. I guess I might be tanking.

Donnie table talk

Banking?

Jake table talk

Basically.

Donnie table talk

You'll just be on the front like me, Jake.

Donnie

fighting side by side with an evil dude.

Rich

At least until we all get out of hell.

Rich

Well, shit, yeah.

Jake

I tell Donnie there's redemption in us all. We just take time to find it.

Donnie

I chuckle and walk away.

Jake

Just because you were a bad guy doesn't mean you were bad guy.

Pat table talk

What are you guys doing?

Jake table talk

I'm wrapping up Ozone.

Donnie table talk

Weren't you posting something?

Pat table talk

I did, it's in Discord.

Rich table talk

He already posted it.

Donnie table talk

Oh shit, okay.

Donnie

I'm still not waiting for

Rich

I grabbed that natural harbor amulet that's

Donnie

Plus two keen lungs, what do you say?

Jake

I was looking at that too.

Donnie

I mean, I already got a King Katana.

Rich

Fuck yeah.

Donnie

If you want that for your other hand there, Jake.

Donnie

Amulet of natural armor. I'm not going to

Donnie

to speak the resistance plus three i'm like

Rich

If nobody else wants that sword, I actually can make use of it. As long as it's a certain size of weapon, I can use it with my magical attack. And having it be keen would be awfully nice.

Donnie

I don't know if I have any of it at all.

Rich

Well, there's apparently five armor amulets right there.

Donnie

Yeah.

Rich

Fuck yeah.

Donnie

Okay, so... What are they? Plus...

Donnie

Natural, or emulator of natural armor plus two.

Donnie

There's five.

Rich

There's five amulets of natural armor plus one.

Donnie

Gotcha. Let's save the plus two.

Donnie

If everyone is okay with that.

Jake

Actually, Rich, I could do stuff.

Rich

Well, Rock, Paper, and Fizzles you for it.

Jake

I could use that King of the Longsword too, Rich.

Jake

I need it.

Rich

Then I'm just, Donnie?

Donnie

Okay, person.

Rich

Somehow? How are we doing this?

Donnie

I don't know.

Rich

There's gotta be a way.

Donnie

Roll for it.

Rich

All right. High or low? And what are we rolling?

Donnie

close to 20 on a d20

Rich

15. It is cast.

Rich

outside of like 100 of the 600 golds. 700 cold. Yeah, I don't need nothing else out of it.

Rich

Boots are cool, but I don't walk places.

Donnie

I also strap up some bodies to the floodletting.

Pat

three bloodletting tables do you fill them

Donnie

what, a third hole right now?

Rich

Yeah, let's just strap them in and set it up. It could use some clear blood in the system.

Donnie

Let's wrap up two of them.

Rich

Strap up all three.

Rich

Worst case scenario, we waste blood.

Rich

that crystal's looking now.

Nutty

They carrying like a chest with them. You guys check that out.

Rich

Oh, yeah, let's go grab that chest. We can either... I can go... unlock that thing. There is that like put the key in the thing. We got very close to that or we can leave our way.

Donnie

Yeah, but we may not end up where we want to go if we go our way.

Rich

So Alright, I take the circular key and I will do the flying back. Oh, Jesus.

Pat

Rich, I could just fast travel you there.

Rich

Oh, thank God for you.

Pat

Okay.

Rich

I go put the circular key in the lock.

Pat

the entire room and the entire dungeon starts to shake violently. As soon as you put it in there, Rich, everything around you fades away and you feel as you are being teleported from this room.

Rich

Ha!

Nutty

Let me get the hell out of here.

Jake

Ha.

Nutty

Yeah.

Pat

Rich, come with me to the secret room, please.

Rich

Oh, I finally get to go to the secret room.

Jake

It's not a fun place to be, dawg. Yeah.

Nutty

We kill Rich now. We just kill Rich now.

Rich

Ha.

Donnie

Alright, that plus three cloak of resistance helped out my will save quite a bit.

Donnie

That's all my saves.

Donnie

Knowledge Arcana. Okay. Alright.

Ozan

What do you guys think they're talking about?

Jake

Oh.

Jake

My control spilt.

Donnie

Nah, I don't know. I don't think Rich is going to pop right out of this one.

Jake

So what did he do? Did he just go outside?

Donnie

He put a key. He flew back to the room we were in trying to put the key in. And he did it. put the key, the next key in.

Donnie

Basically, he activated a track check.

Jake

the key end of the shit.

Nutty

chests that the drow are carrying.

Donnie

No, he didn't open that shit.

Nutty

Oh, what did he put the key into?

Donnie

into the keyhole.

Jake

Of what?

Donnie

You know those keys we got from the Zebra?

Jake

And he put it, he, and then he put that into what?

Donnie

the circular indent on the floor.

Donnie

in the room that he was in. He flew to.

Donnie

I've been there. I know where that.

Jake

Everybody message Pat or Rich with their mental link.

Donnie

Why are we messaging him?

Jake

We all have mental licks with them.

Nutty

No, your major link broke Jake when you died and I'm pretty sure I don't have one since

Jake

Amen.

Nutty

Wasn't there. So I think Donnie's the only one that has one.

Jake

Donnie, the other one again.

Donnie

Your mind could... Yeah, I do have a telepathic link with him.

Jake

to message.

Jake

Or we can wait, because we don't know better.

Donnie

Yep. Who knows? Maybe it doesn't work there.

Donnie

That would be our look, all right?

Jake

I'd say so.

Jake

Ozon almost had enough gold to resurrect himself.

Ozan

How are you guys getting out of there?

Jake

and hyper jump.

Jake

I mean, the ship's blood's full, so we're just gonna fucking...

Jake

Crank that bitch to a lemon.

Jake table talk

Sad day guys, I'm making my last clone back bar.

Nutty table talk

Make sure you get a video recording of you doing it so you can play it back over and over until you get more combat bars.

Jake table talk

Do you have a heat work?

Donnie

We're trying to get out of here. We're seeing what these keys do.

Ozan

Did you guys bring back Nutty yet?

Donnie

He just had to touch the soul gem to him. Put his soul back in his body.

Ozan table talk

Wait, and now what's happening? Sorry, I kind of missed what was happening. with Rich. How did Rich end up going to the penalty box?

Donnie

So Rich back to the room by himself where the next Elki went.

Donnie

And he did it. And then the room started shaking and...

Ozan table talk

Wait, what's rat scientist and what's plaid scientist?

Jake table talk

Rad Scientist is Pat. Plaid Scientist is the drops. recording.

Jake table talk

One's recording and one's listening.

Ozan table talk

So Pat's recording right now.

Jake table talk

Yeah, but make sure you don't say something racist like you always do.

Donnie

This is the wizard that fell in.

Ozan

What did J Electronics say?

Donnie

I'm sure everybody can get himself out of it.

Ozan

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Jake

Who goes there?

Donnie

Yeah, I got telepathic language.

Pat

How far does telepathic link work?

Donnie

Rich, how does that telepathic link you got work? We're still linked.

Rich

Over any distance over any distance. No, actually it does not cross planes.

Pat

Even other plans?

Jake

Because that's technically not a distance.

Pat

Okay, telepathic link functions continuously. And Rich, we have to go back. You can telepathically hear your teammates talking to you. So you can tell them what you've been experiencing.

Rich

All right. well all right so i put the thing i put the key in and i got teleported somewhere and i'm like in a round room with a door that won't open a hole in the wall that i just crawled through because there's nothing else i can do floating it's all illusion magic like floating magical lamp it's i'm lost and fucked

Jake

Do you get it?

Jake

Do you still have the key in your hands? Can we get to where you are?

Rich

The key is still on. Well, I still have the square key. I use I use the circular. Pat, as far as the cylinder, is it about the cylinder? I stand up as I get next to it, is it about the same height as the pillar I teleported into?

Pat

No, since you've reduced person, how small are you?

Rich

Oh, I guess I'm one size category smaller. So I went from medium to small.

Pat

Oh, it doesn't feel like a large cylinder. It feels now more like a lever. It's a lever. I thought you were like Ant-Man sized.

Rich table talk

No.

Jake table talk

Ha.

Pat

Next to the door is a one foot wide hole that has darkness cast upon it. You are not able to see into it, but since you just flew into it, at least you and all of your mirror imaged versions of yourself while shielded, while reduced personed, because that's what you just did, you are able to feel there's a lever inside that dark hole that has magical darkness cast upon it.

Jake table talk

Somebody's been watching the Dan and Jeff.

Rich

I'm gonna cast a spell on this magical darkness.

Jake table talk

I mean, do we just let Richard explore? Like, he...

Donnie

I mean, we're none the wiser.

Jake table talk

Oh, I know, but I mean, like, we have the telepathic, like, I know, but like, should we just teach him a lesson for not going into hell unassisted?

Pat table talk

I mean, you kind of are. He just communicated to you.

Donnie

That doesn't sound like the good thing to do, Jake.

Jake

I'm going in after him. I'm coming.

Donnie

check out this room.

Jake

I hold my sword up to the sky and I say by the power of Paylord, I'm doing my weapon as a standard action and it does. As holy light shines upon me, my hair grows longer and I grow ski goggles and I become the man of destruction. Yeah. It happens, yeah, coming in here hot. Oh, yeah, uh-huh.

Rich

Alright, I rolled a 15 on my targeted dispel. Make a dispel check.

Rich

I don't know if that will

Donnie table talk

Keep going.

Pat

All right, so you guys are traveling to the room. Rich, you're doing this, cool.

Pat

Okay, so you cast a spell magic. And on the darkness, I need you to make a DC check, 1d20 plus your caster level, and I'm going to compare that to the spell of the caster level that casted it.

Rich

I got a 15.

Pat

You fail.

Rich

Damn. Well, then I just pull the lever, because fuck it.

Pat

The door opens.

Rich

All right. I go to the door.

Pat

Inside the room is about 20 foot wide. It is dark. It has stone walls. It has stone floors. There's an unlit brassiere against the entrance of the wall by the door. It looks like there are randomly constructed shelves and alcoves that are about five foot deep. They're protruding from both the right and the left side of the walls. There's a statue of a man in the middle that looks to be wearing heavy armor. He is looking directly at a statue of a basilisk who is standing in one of the alcoves on the wall. There is a necklace of keys around his neck.

Donnie

assholes.

Pat table talk

Mm-hmm.

Jake table talk

Giant snake, Donnie.

Donnie table talk

I know what it is.

Pat table talk

Yeah, haven't you seen Harry Potter 2? Return of the Basilisk?

Donnie table talk

Yes, I have. Doesn't it turn people to stone?

Jake table talk

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Jake table talk

you're proud of too, the basketballs returns.

Rich

From my relatively safe position, like at the base of the door,

Rich

like to... Ah shit, is there, I'm gonna roll a perception check to see if like, I don't know, that basilisk has a door on it or something, or if I should treat it as a live basilisk.

Pat

So, Donnie, you're at the door. Okay, and

Donnie

reached the door and I'm waiting for Jake.

Pat

Jake, and you went with him. Okay, so you got fast traveled.

Nutty

Over the two, I'm just, I was, my guy's like summoned over here with all the cross thingies.

Jake

We ran at full speed.

Pat

Okay, you guys go in?

Pat table talk

Okay, give me a second.

Rich

Good luck, guys.

Pat table talk

Oh man, it's been so cool.

Jake table talk

Oh shit, Pat. I gotta roll my fucking health, bro.

Pat

Hey, dude, you guys open the door. This is what you see. Rich's body is laying prone on the ground and there is a creature above him that looks to be sucking something out of his face.

Rich table talk

Ha

Pat

Roamy Initiative.

Rich

Some... Somebody help.

Donnie

Oh, sweet lady. Jesus.

Jake

I got you, buddy.

Nutty

Do you know this is happening, Rich?

Rich

No.

Jake table talk

Rich is fucking skipping, tiptoeing through the tulips.

Rich

Wait, what's going on? What am I doing right now? No, I'm in a room. I'm in a puzzle room.

Donnie

It's a dream world, Reg. It's a dream world.

Rich table talk

Goddamn dream worlds. Always getting stuck in dream worlds.

Rich

Now that I'm aware that it's a dream world, I'm extra mad because I can do, there's no point of solving this puzzle. Somebody help me.

Jake table talk

It's so funny. It's so funny. It's so funny. You're like, well, you see Ritz there passed out and something appears to be sucking the soul out of his face. He's like, what? I was doing, I was playing Scrabble. What the fuck?

Nutty

Maybe Rich is just getting hot and heavy with a demon and we just interrupted something. Maybe we just walk out of the room, apologize, and give him a space.

Rich table talk

Even Scrabble comes with wisdom damage in this fucking game. terrible.

Jake

So there'll be 22.

Rich

Somebody come kill this thing.

Donnie

Initiatives been rolled, I'll be back.

Rich

This room is creepy.

Jake

Three ones.

Rich table talk

Cool.

Nutty

Add your con modifier. I'm sure I did that.

Jake

Elves get negative two to Con, Nutty.

Rich table talk

Brutal.

Rich

But hey, next level we get a stat increase.

Jake

That's not going to Constitution, bro.

Rich table talk

Hahaha.

Rich table talk

Well, we'll be out of here in no time, and then we'll have the full party. Because, you know, most of the time we were worried about getting people resurrected because we had no one good in the party to get it done. I think we can, I think you can play a better role with it.

Jake table talk

The only reason I'm resurrecting him is because he's the only other good one here.

Rich table talk

Need to balance the party out.

Jake

I just need to bring back the righteous.

Rich table talk

And I get what I truly wanted, neutrality in the party, too evil and too good.

Donnie table talk

Why would you want that? Forget it.

Nutty

I don't know how that works, though.

Donnie table talk

I want things to be difficult. You got the party to fight the whole time.

Jake

the floor pattern. You think we're in a nice place?

Rich table talk

Here's the thing is that it's neutral and it's chaotic.

Ozan table talk

I think that's why the party fights.

Jake table talk

Right? Yeah. You think that's... Yeah, no shit. Good fucking point, Lizzylla.

Ozan table talk

That's the right thing.

Rich table talk

It's chaotic as well, and that appeals to me.

Rich table talk

We have all different alignments. It's going to be great.

Donnie table talk

I think that's a good reason why the party is great.

Ozan

I'm pretty sure Nuddy just killed me and tried to kill Jake regardless of our alignment.

Pat table talk

Yo.

Donnie

I think Nettie was...

Jake table talk

No.

Donnie

he was an evil alignment demon.

Jake

Then he's weak.

Donnie table talk

I didn't say it, Nutty. I didn't say it.

Jake

possessed by his fear.

Pat

You are weak as the gods you pray to.

Nutty

He has a name and it's a well hog.

Ozan

I think

Ozan

He might have killed you guys too.

Jake

He didn't kill me.

Ozan table talk

I know.

Rich

How are the facehuggers treating us?

Pat

One of those nice soul suckers.

Rich table talk

Yeah.

Pat table talk

Solsakus interruptus.

Jake table talk

Ha.

Rich

Sons of bitches.

Jake table talk

The soul suckus roofie mechanicus.

Jake table talk

date rapist, so let's just.

Pat table talk

But anyway, back to the game.

Jake

That was a 26 and eight and a 16 for initiative.

Pat

Initiative from Ray Parker.

Pat

I see a 26. Pretty good initiative there, JQ.

Pat

From... Eight. Ooh, it's not going to fly here, Donnie. Maybe better next time.

Pat

I think that was 16.

Pat

Soul-sucking demon.

Rich

Gets a natural one.

Pat

Gets a 17.

Pat

Lead us off. What do you do?

Jake

You tell him to quit soul sucking my friend over there. And I go over and I swift action smite and I run up and I hit this motherfucker right in the

Pat

Roll it.

Jake

So that's a crit confirmed.

Jake

That's going to be an extra

Jake

The tenant image.

Pat

AC27.

Pat

Can you hit it?

Jake

Then I go to

Jake

Shield Bash, which I don't know how it works.

Pat

All right, how many attacks did you have?

Pat

Hit. What's your damage?

Jake

45 It's going to be

Jake

60,

Jake

2.

Jake

81.

Pat

60

Jake

90

Pat

96 good aligned damage.

Pat

And then what's the smite do? Is it just align it good?

Jake

It adds 6 to all my attack rolls and 11 to all my damage rolls.

Pat

Against evil.

Pat

You've already added that in?

Pat

It hits, it lands. It was 96, you said?

Rich

If it can read my mind, I'm calling it a bitch right now.

Pat table talk

Nutty.

Pat

What's going on out there?

Pat

So anyway, Rich, you see a statue of a man in the middle who looks to be wearing heavy armor. Just let me know what you're going to do in there.

Rich

Oh, no. They've been telling me. I'm already aware. Fuck this guy. I'm waiting it out.

Pat

Nutty, what are you doing?

Nutty

Hello.

Pat

Richie do Roaming Initiative though. As well.

Nutty

Move there and hit them.

Rich

Not 20.

Nutty

for the first one. So 28 to hit

Pat

OK, hit. How much damage?

Nutty

28,

Nutty

28 is the tech or whatever though.

Nutty

14 plus 19, so.

Nutty

33

Pat

33.

Donnie

I walk up. I challenge this man.

Donnie

with a terrifying Dissu strike.

Donnie

Next one.

Donnie

Confirmed.

Donnie

35 damage plus...

Jake

Jesus.

Rich

Jesus.

Donnie

Postachannel Deming

Donnie

actually when it's just

Donnie

Samurai's level plus the 11 for 46 plus Jitsu strength. Oh, wait, no, it's back on me.

Donnie

I'm starting to think regular tax is better.

Jake

Four Fighters.

Donnie

Yeah, exactly.

Donnie

B6 at third level and every field after. So, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, so 66.

Donnie

that damage isn't too much. It's just a hit for 43.

Donnie

6 plus 11.

Donnie

27 damage. That is a really bad damage roll.

Donnie

Three twos, a one, and a three.

Pat

All right, you guys have done... You guys have done 156 damage to it so far? fairly quickly.

Donnie

Oh, and also, he's going to make a will never be terrified.

Pat

Okay, what's the will save?

Rich

To be fair, the door opened and you guys jumped on him. Like, he was just having lunch.

Donnie

15... 17

Jake

He needs to make a will save for me too.

Pat

17 will save from Donnie.

Ozan

Jake, what race are you?

Donnie

And that's four rounds of those.

Jake

I'm an elf.

Pat

Four rounds of what if he fails?

Donnie

Terrified.

Donnie

D4 plus 1, actually, 5.

Pat

He rolls a 33.

Donnie

What the fuck?

Rich

Well, to be fair, he got a 19. He's a high-level and...

Pat

He's roll-

Jake

He's got to make a DC 21.

Pat

At 11th level, when a Sword of Valor critically hits an enemy with a smite, target with secret will saving through a DC 10 plus half the level, plus or be compelled to surrender to the Paladin as if affected by a suggestion spell. To lay down arms and give up the fight. The enemy that succumbs to this ability remains docile until it's injured by the paladin, or one of its obvious allies. At which point the compulsion of surrender immediately ends and the enemy is free to make its own choices again. The enemy makes the save and is not subject to this ability for 24 hours. Where the enemy has a mind-affecting ability. Alright, let me see if it's effective.

Pat

It affects him.

Rich

Thank you guys for saving me.

Pat

We'll save.

Jake

21.

Pat

DC 21.

Pat

He rolls a 18 and fails his saving throw and is docile and under the effect of a suggestion spell by you, Jake. What do you suggest this demon to do?

Rich

Oh, shit.

Jake

Put your head in the corner. You're on timeout.

Jake

Time out for sucking my friend's face off.

Pat

For 11 hours, he is putting himself on a timeout.

Nutty

Damn, that's some demoralizing shit right there.

Pat table talk

This dude was so nasty. Oh my god.

Rich

Yeah.

Pat

But he's still there.

Jake

I lay my hands on Rich's face. I put my finger in his mouth.

Pat

I lay on poop fingers.

Jake

and get them back. Ha.

Donnie

Can we just like, can I walk up behind him

Pat

Well, it's not.

Rich

And he might not be an easy fight. Like... We could literally just walk away now.

Nutty

We wait for Rich to get out of wherever he's going and then we just gank him.

Rich

What do you mean whatever I'm doing now that he's off my face and somebody wake me up? Shit.

Pat table talk

Rich, it's your turn.

Rich

Am I still, you know...

Jake

Riding the teacups.

Rich

Under...

Pat

There's a statue of a man in the middle. Looks like he's wearing heavy armor. He's looking directly at a statue of a basilisk who is standing in one of the alcoves on the wall. There is a necklace on

Rich

Can somebody wake me up? Can somebody wake me up?

Jake

listen

Pat

keys.

Jake

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you wander the fuck off in hell? I'm sorry. My bad.

Pat

What do you do?

Rich

I cast wall of force in between the fucking basilisk and the keys. I walk over and I grab the fucking keys and I walk the

Pat

The moment you block the gaze between the basilisk and the man, the man turns back into himself again. He screams at you to get out and abandon whatever the fuck you're doing in here, and then he dies of shock at your feet. The keys are on the floor in front of you.

Rich

I check his pockets and stuff and I grab the keys.

Pat

He has nothing in his pockets. You have the keys.

Rich

Well, goddammit, this place is fruitless in every fucking way. I walk back to the door with the keys.

Jake

You're like, whoa, that guy died like a bitch. This place is crazy.

Rich

I am getting sick and goddamn tired of hell.

Pat

What do you guys do out there?

Jake

I give Rich a couple of slaparoos in the face, those little slapperinos.

Pat

Great, Jerome. We will save.

Nutty

I held Rich's feet up in the air to get the blood flow into his head.

Rich

Not 20.

Pat

you wake up. That's literally the only thing that would have done it.

Rich

Oh, thank goodness. That was the most perfectly gentle slap in the face that I could have ever hoped for.

Jake

You sweet man. Coming out of a fucking night terror.

Donnie

Don't mind the business.

Rich

I think we should get out of here. This room, let's leave.

Jake

Oh, got some unfinished business over there in the corner.

Rich

No, I don't want to fight him. No, a nat 20...

Nutty

I mean, didn't you do something in here? Should we?

Pat

The floor begins to hum where the key is.

Donnie

begins to hum

Pat

Yeah, where the key was inserted.

Donnie

Is it a similar hunt to that the bullshit makes?

Pat

No, it's similar hum to the other key that you inserted.

Rich

That's all three keys.

Pat

Mm-mm.

Donnie

That's two keys.

Pat

Stookies.

Rich

Wait, what? No, we put the triangle one in. I put the circular one in.

Pat

And the sphere one.

Jake

Nettie, you want to help me out here?

Donnie

And you still have the square one.

Rich

Are we in that room still? Oh, Jesus. Okay. Okay.

Donnie

We're in the same room you were in. Yes.

Donnie

The monster's in the corner.

Rich

Then let's get out of here. Let's just leave. I don't like this room anymore.

Donnie table talk

Yeah, no more castings of locate objects.

Rich

We got to wait it out for a day and I'm leaving this room.

Donnie

The monster's only standing in that corner for 11 hours.

Rich

Well...

Jake

Who moved me out?

Rich

I'm not fighting him. I don't want to do that. Pat just said the only way I was getting out of that was with a nat 20. I don't let...

Jake

Yeah, and the only way you got in it was because you left the fucking ship alone. I mean, you could leave now. You could go back to the ship and wander alone if you fucking want to, bro. That's your call, man.

Pat

or solving the weird mental puzzle

Rich

Fair enough.

Pat table talk

Yes, Daddy.

Jake table talk

hell, dude. I'm not trying to be a dick.

Rich

the shit.

Jake

myself

Donnie

We need to locate that other key.

Jake

Probably inside this motherfucker. Get this swag.

Jake

I'd do a full round.

Rich

It just seems like a bad call.

Donnie

So far, there's only been a couple rooms, and each room has had like a key socket.

Nutty

just get Donnie up here, we surround him, and we just lay into him. We'll get all free one round on him, and then we roll initiative again, or whatever, and then we attack again.

Rich

Wait, before you guys do, I have a couple of things I need to cast.

Rich

There's got to be some damage boosts I've got here for you.

Rich

At least I thought it did. Fuck.

Rich

Oh, I cast who can deal out the most damage who wants haste.

Donnie

What does Haste do?

Jake

I don't need it right now. I can, I can,

Rich

It gives you another attack at full...

Donnie

Yeah, give me that.

Rich

at your full bonus. All right.

Jake

I already got that with my weapon.

Rich

And I cast Bull's Strength on Donovan as well.

Donnie

Does damage break the spell?

Jake

Yeah.

Rich

I'm also going to cast another casting of a mirror image on Jake and I'm going to cast my use my cast of Where is it? It's level five. Blur. Is it blur? No, it's displacement. on Donovan.

Jake

Tony, you want to move your character over to him?

Donnie

Which corner is he here?

Rich

So Donna, you now have displacement on you. You have a 50%

Jake table talk

wrong way keep going donnie can't see

Nutty table talk

Ha.

Pat

Where the fuck is he? Let me at him. Why?

Rich

And Jake, do you want to roll the d4 plus 3 for your mirror images?

Jake table talk

That's crazy.

Rich

And Donnie, you have plus 40 or strength right now.

Jake

There's a 34-21, 19-40 to hit.

Rich

Well, guys, if you're down for this, I guess we can throw at it.

Jake

34.

Jake

I see.

Pat

Yeah, you hit if it's a 34. He has 27. 21 misses. 19 misses.

Jake

Then 40 damage

Pat

of good line damage.

Donnie

So we all get a free attack happening here?

Rich

Yep, you're all attack.

Pat

Okay, so you all basically reset initiative.

Jake

Surprise round, right?

Pat

And you are all... hitting him with a surprise round. I'm going to double check to make sure that suggestion works that way, but I have a feeling that it will since he's

Rich

Well, if he was looking in the corner, he wouldn't necessarily know we were stacking up behind him to kill him.

Pat

Well, he would absolutely know that. It's not like he's retarded.

Rich

Fair enough.

Pat

But at the same time, he's been suggested to do something, so he's going to do it. And so I'm just... Curious. If...

Pat

if he can sense this coming, but I don't think so. He's been suggested. to do a thing and he's doing the thing and then you all get the surprise round okay yep

Donnie

So that's a full round.

Pat

Yeah, it's Nutty and then Donnie and then Rich and then him.

Donnie

Full attack.

Donnie

get an additional attack at plus one. Or I mean at a normal BAB. So it's just going to be the first one.

Pat

Anything above a 27... Anything above 27 hits, just let me know what the total damage is and how many attacks there are.

Donnie

one two

Donnie

Three attacks from me hit.

Donnie

69, 20 for 89.

Rich

Remember, you have plus two to that. You have plus two to whatever those attack rolls are.

Donnie

plus two the attack rolls.

Rich

Well, if it increases your strength by four, it increases your attack rolls by two.

Donnie

I already put that in at Tep Strength. I already put that in.

Donnie

So yeah, 89 damage for me.

Pat

Nutty. How many attacks? How much damage?

Nutty

I missed twice. Is he able to be sneak attacked?

Pat

He is not immune to sneak attacks.

Rich

Oh shit.

Nutty

28, 31, 18 plus 13.

Pat

31 over how many attacks?

Nutty

Just what a tech. The other two missed.

Pat

Um,

Pat

He has taken 256 damage and looks super fucked up. Rich, your turn.

Rich

I'm casting Holdmonster. He needs to make a 24 will save.

Pat

Okay.

Jake

His is pretty high.

Pat

He is immune to any... Does that spell allow for spell resistance at all?

Donnie

He's got to roll a ten or better.

Rich table talk

Oh, fuck.

Rich

What can they actually see? I don't know. They're a little old monster.

Pat

Because if so, he is immune to any spell that allows for spell resistance.

Rich

Spells functions like hold person. Well, let me go to the hold person. Spell resistance, yes. So, nope.

Pat

He is immune to it.

Rich table talk

All right. Well, fuck.

Rich

I guess I call him a dick for trying to eat my soul and I pass the turn

Pat

Okay, he goes.

Pat

Alright, he activates as a free action an aura of worry that projects a 30-foot aura of anxiety and insecurity. I need everyone to make me a DC 22 will save.

Jake

Immune to fear.

Pat

or be affected by crushing despair. It's not fear.

Pat

It is crushing despair. If you're immune to enchantments or compulsion effects, then that works, but this is not fear.

Pat

It is despair.

Rich

So because I'm an elf, I do have plus two against enchantment. So that is actually 23.

Pat

So does Jake.

Rich

Yeah.

Nutty

I'm using my four leaf clover to give me a plus three to my will save.

Rich table talk

Nice.

Nutty

plus three to whatever this is.

Donnie

Okay.

Donnie

I'm going to use Improved Iron Will and all that.

Jake

Is it a... It's not a charm, is it?

Pat

It's an enchantment.

Jake table talk

Sham it.

Donnie table talk

Not good either way.

Pat

You are affected, Donnie, by Crushing Despair. Negative two penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls.

Donnie

Negative two.

Jake

too, so 20.

Rich

Now he, that was a free action. Now it takes a real action.

Pat

Now he...

Pat

seeing how this works

Pat

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 1, 2, Jake. 3, 4, Donnie. 5, 6, Nutty.

Pat

He jumps into your shadow, Jake.

Jake

what for me is

Pat

You have multiple U's.

Jake

Mirror image.

Pat

You have mirror image up.

Jake

Six, yeah.

Pat

Six of them, he jumps into one of their shadows.

Nutty

That's it, we gotta kill Jake. That's the only way.

Pat

That's the real you.

Pat

You should be able to control those guys.

Jake

I can't see him, right? Do you want to know which one he jumped into?

Pat

You can't see him, but you can roll me a perception check to see if you saw which one he jumped into.

Rich

So they're not actually Shadows. Shadow Clone is the ninja version of it. They're just illusory doubles. Does that change anything?

Pat

Do they cast a shadow?

Rich

Actually, I suppose that's up to you.

Pat

I assume they cast a shadow, and if they do, it jumps into one of those, and if it doesn't, it jumps into a different one, but I'm going to say that illusions, since they cast shadows.

Pat

I've never...

Rich table talk

Oh, fuck.

Pat

Jake, you are not sure which shadow. Nutty, you are not sure which shadow.

Donnie

perception.

Jake

I start channeling positive energy.

Pat

Donnie, you saw that the shadow that it went into is this guy right here. He is tinted light blue.

Donnie

It would help if I could see him, but I'll get there.

Pat

It's Jake's turn.

Pat

Drake, it's your turn.

Jake

12 damage to all evil creatures in a 30 foot radius.

Rich

Oh, Donovan. So sorry.

Pat

Dying takes 12 damage.

Pat

No, he takes 12 damage.

Pat

Dude's shadow takes 12 damage.

Jake

Whoopsie.

Donnie

I just increased my life total by 12 when I leveled up last

Nutty

I heal for five.

Jake table talk

Ha.

Pat table talk

Nice.

Rich

and all this quick draw potion, don't it? Stay at full.

Pat

And that is turn.

Nutty

I move towards that blue shadow and hold my action until he comes out. to attack him.

Pat

You moved. You can't hold your action if you moved. You like prepare an action?

Nutty

You get your movement and you hold your action, right?

Pat

I thought, wait, are you moving your turn order? Or are you using your action to do it if he's ready in action? OK.

Nutty

I've just Ready in action.

Nutty

Yeah, a reaction to an attack as soon as he comes out.

Pat table talk

Tony.

Donnie table talk

All right.

Donnie

And I couldn't see him.

Donnie

Is that a test?

Pat

He's in the shadow of the blue one.

Donnie

I didn't know.

Donnie table talk

Full of tech.

Pat table talk

OK.

Pat

Can your weapon do damage to incorporeal creatures?

Donnie

We're not.

Pat

then it has no effect on the shadow.

Rich

But the doubles when struck do poof out of existence.

Pat

That would be true if he struck the double, but he struck the shadow.

Rich table talk

Oh, shit.

Pat

Unless your sword is magical somehow. Is it a plus one?

Rich

Well, it has Keen on it, right?

Rich

Yeah, it's pretty sure he's got an enchanted sword.

Pat

Let me see if that does it. Because that gets over damage reduction from magic.

Donnie

I do have an enchanted sword.

Donnie

It's a plus two King Katana, so it is magical.

Pat

I think you might have to have the ghost touch ability.

Donnie

I think so too.

Donnie

Or if it's like Mithril or some shit, or not Mithril, but like Silver or some shit, right?

Pat

Yeah, incorporeal pathfinder.

Pat

Incorporeal creature has no physical body, it can only be harmed by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities or supernatural abilities. It is immune to all non-magical attacks. Even when hit by spells or magic items, it only takes half damage from a corporeal source. Although it is not a magical attack, holy water can affect incorporeal undead. Corporeal creatures' effects do not cause damage, only a 50% chance of affecting Four spells and effects such as magic missile. Is your sword magic?

Pat

It affects him.

Donnie

Okay, I'll roll my attacks.

Donnie

42 to hit, 38 to hit, 30 to hit. And I get one additional attack to the haste. And a 39 to hit.

Pat

You kill him.

Rich

Oh my goodness.

Pat

What do you guys do?

Jake

What's left of them.

Pat

So the shadow dissolves down and you see just a red... fiendish, rubbery skin pulled taut over this immense frame of a demon with glistening claws hanging past his knees. And you see two mouths resting on its eyeless face, and they're still whispering in his death as they slowly start to stop whispering. And then he basically like... They were just whispering

Donnie

What are they whispering?

Rich

What's this say? Speak up!

Pat

I was whispering weird demonic shit.

Donnie

Well, since that whimsy wall, I now speak. Abyssal and Infernal.

Pat

You speak Draconic? Well, he wasn't saying anything draconic. Anyway, so the whispers in Infernal that you could hear didn't make much sense. It was more just like, feed me, feed me. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat your soul. I'm going to suck your soul down. I'm going to eat your soul. Pass the soul salt. Shit like that.

Jake table talk

Nah, fuck you.

Rich table talk

Pass the salt.

Jake table talk

past the soul salt.

Donnie

I took Abyssal, Infernal, and Silver.

Pat table talk

prep for some high-level shit.

Jake

I lay my hands on Donnie.

Pat table talk

Get consent first.

Donnie table talk

No.

Jake table talk

Nope. Yeah, I gave him a pat on the ass.

Pat table talk

Don't rope me into this.

Jake table talk

No, it's not even a pat, it's a grab. Like, I just...

Donnie

It's like if you need good energy, like... It's fine as a zombie, right? That's the way it's...

Jake

Right. So, yeah.

Pat

Does Lay on Hands heal evil people?

Donnie

I don't know. I'm wondering.

Pat

I think it does.

Donnie

I think it does. I think it just doesn't heal and death.

Nutty

It's just evil people get harm instead of heal.

Donnie

People get hired at a healer.

Nutty

if they're cleared. No, if they get, instead of having the heal spell, they get the harm spell.

Jake

Yeah.

Donnie

to heal me, you would have to do damage to me. Wait, is that what you're saying?

Jake

have to do positive energy damage.

Jake

Like I just did.

Pat

Fairly sure it still heals you.

Jake

Yep, heel.

Jake

Yeah, deal damage to undead creatures.

Pat

Okay.

Jake

So it's going to be...

Jake

Two.

Jake

Heel for 5d6, Donnie.

Donnie

5-DC.

Jake

D6, you are no longer fatigued.

Donnie

Hey, 12. It's all needed. Even with three nat ones in there.

Jake

You also have sanctuary on you.

Jake table talk

we're no longer

Rich

I'm really glad you guys are here because I started looking through all my damage spells and everything. All my damage spells could be blocked by spell resistance, so I couldn't hurt it.

Jake

And you get fast stealing three, Donnie.

Jake

He was praying on your face when we walked in here, man. That shit's daunting. What the fuck's going on in here? He was just like sucking the fucking...

Rich

It's terrible.

Pat

So what are you guys doing? You're back at the boat.

Jake

Donnie, can you fire this motherfucker up?

Donnie

We can fire it up or we can wait for a routine of spells back and locate the other...

Jake table talk

Pat's ominous clicking of his knife is not helping.

Rich

So what do we want?

Donnie

I gotta check out the sex scent, by the way.

Rich

yeah let's all just get back to the ship

Pat

Get back of the ship.

Donnie

We are on the ship, yeah. I gotta check out the sexism.

Rich

Do you want to do anything with that demon skin or are we not trusting it to stay dead?

Donnie

never trust even since they did.

Rich

Yeah, let's just leave it.

Pat

So what are you guys doing?

Jake

I want to rest.

Rich

Yup. I am. I'm out of my fucking spells.

Pat

How long? How long?

Pat

How long do you guys rest for?

Jake

I do a shift. I stay up.

Rich

Till the morning.

Jake

half the resting period.

Pat

Okay, Jake stays awake.

Pat

Everyone else is resting for eight hours. During the eight hours.

Donnie

I'm sleeping with one eye open.

Pat

The first hour I need a perception check from you, Jake.

Rich

Inside the boat with locked doors.

Pat

is why you're not rolling a reception check. You're inside the boat with locked doors.

Rich

The only safe place here.

Pat table talk

Rich, I love how safe you are.

Pat

What was the perception check, Jake? I'm on a different page.

Jake

natural

Pat

Non-natural 20, you hear a scraping sound from way down the hall.

Jake

I said, come in.

Pat

You yelled? You yelled on the hall?

Jake

until to come in and

Pat

The scraping sound stops.

Donnie

Suddenly here.

Jake

uh,

Jake

into my weapon.

Pat

Your weapon does not change.

Jake

And I transform into my Racho Man Randy Savage.

Pat table talk

Oh-ho!

Jake

I fucking he-man it up.

Jake

It doesn't count?

Pat

You don't hear anything.

Pat

How long do you wait in the darkness?

Jake

I tell everybody to wake up. I sound the alarm.

Pat

Everybody wakes up.

Donnie

What's up? How are you? What's going on here?

Jake

I hear night terrors are scratching at the door, scratching on the walls. There's something here.

Jake

My god's not answering my calls.

Jake

Pretty important.

Rich

I use one more casting of shield and now I'm... ah fuck, I'm running so low on spells.

Rich

I cast a regular version of Fly.

Jake

everybody back to back.

Jake

Do a listen.

Pat

From perception.

Pat

You don't hear anything?

Pat

You don't hear anything? You don't hear anything? None of you hear anything?

Rich

Well, shit.

Donnie

Oh shit.

Jake

Can I rule on knowledge religion just to figure out when the fuck my sword's not working?

Pat

when you say your sword's not working?

Donnie

Fuck it.

Rich

Ooh, I...

Donnie

Which direction did it come from?

Pat

Down the hall.

Rich

I cast dancing lights.

Pat

Down this way? What's your range?

Donnie

Give me light. Give me light.

Pat

30 feet, 60 feet.

Donnie

Do I smell anything peculiar, Pat?

Pat

120 feet. No.

Pat

You have sent.

Pat

Does your scent have a range?

Donnie

It depends on wind.

Pat

A windless environment. When the webs are up, there's no real wind.

Donnie

The creature can detect opponents with 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range is 60, that one drops to 50.

Pat

No, you don't smell anything?

Rich

I cast Dancing Lights, and the form I choose is going to be four glowing orbs. and I'm just gonna stack them in a line 10 feet apart.

Pat

What's the distance away from you?

Rich

they can move up to 100 feet around

Rich

Looks like I can just control where they go, but they light up a 10-foot radius, and they have to stay within five feet of each other. So they're just going to stand alone. 5 by 5 by 5 by 5? Or actually 10 by 10 by 10.

Pat

And how far in front of you?

Rich

Can you give me control of them? Because I can move them up to 100 feet, plus 10 feet per caster level.

Pat table talk

You should have control of them.

Pat table talk

Do you not?

Rich table talk

It looks like now I do, actually. There we go.

Pat table talk

I didn't change that.

Rich table talk

There we go.

Rich

Except they don't have very big light radius.

Nutty

I'm going to drink a

Rich

They've got a 10-foot radius.

Nutty

pushing the visibility.

Nutty

stealthed on the hallway.

Nutty

plus 20 while moving from invisible networks.

Pat

Okay. You're invisible.

Nutty table talk

My link, Rich? Right now I was dead. Never mind.

Rich

I don't have another casting of it. I actually have a scroll of it. So yeah, let's use another casting of it.

Nutty

Do you mind LinkedIn? Go on.

Nutty

Are we in this hallway? I thought we were on the boat. Our boat was in there.

Pat

You were, but you're hearing the noise coming from down this hallway.

Pat

He did. Jake said he heard a noise.

Donnie

He's making shit up. I got it back.

Pat

Okay.

Rich

The lights give off a 10-foot radius, not a 5.

Nutty

I say I went down to the end of the hallway. I don't see anything. Should I keep going?

Pat

if you want to.

Nutty

MindLink asking team.

Rich

I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think we should. Especially after last time. Let's not part ways. It's a terrible place.

Rich

Wonder if the scraping could be on the underside.

Nutty

I do a perceptive check and look all around the boat, see if I see anything.

Rich table talk

Thank you, Pat.

Pat table talk

You're welcome.

Pat

You see nothing.

Nutty

Head to bed. I don't see anything.

Nutty

anyone got anything we can cast to defend the ship?

Donnie

I got a potion of protection evil.

Pat

Jake, you were wondering why your sword didn't work. What were you expecting your sword to do?

Rich

Let me...

Jake

I'll pay lower you money.

Pat

What ability does that?

Jake

Supernatural Billy.

Jake

I think it's actually in my...

Rich table talk

All right.

Pat

Yeah, if that's an ability that was on your sheet, then yeah. I thought that you were trying to communicate with Paylor again.

Pat

Yeah, of course. Yeah, that totally works.

Pat

Okay, what do you guys do? Went back to bed, went back to bed. Jake, Rich, what are you guys doing?

Rich

I take out a scroll of Mage's Faithful Hound.

Rich

I set him up at the door, just outside the door. I conjure a phantom watchdog that is invisible to everyone but myself. It then guards an area where it was conjured, does not move, and how it immediately starts barking if any small or large creature approaches within 30 feet of it. Those within 30 feet of the hound when it's conjured may move about the area. If they leave, it will reactivate the barking.

Rich

It sees invisible and ethereal creatures, and it does not react to figments.

Jake

Stay in guard for another hour.

Pat

Casted.

Pat

You go back to bed.

Rich

you guys, I'm going to try. I think, you know,

Rich

What do you guys think?

Nutty

Yep, I go back to bed.

Rich

All sleeping in the same fucking room, fully geared.

Donnie table talk

I spawned, but I'm already asleep.

Nutty

He'll cuddle up with Donnie.

Pat

Another hour passes.

Pat

Jake, you hear a laughing sound coming from down the other hall.

Rich

Jake, just come to bed with a fear.

Donnie

Or in hell, you're going to hear sound.

Jake

So you're not real.

Rich

You're going to be getting this all night.

Pat

Roman perception check.

Jake

refuse to leave.

Rich

You don't even want to know.

Jake

I shut my eyes. I shut my eyes.

Pat

Hound starts barking. Loudly.

Rich

Oh, shit.

Rich

Everybody wake up. I wake everyone up.

Jake

and jump in the bed with Donnie.

Donnie

But shut that damn dog up.

Jake

I don't think we're gonna be able to sleep in it all, guys.

Rich

I think if everybody comes inside, maybe...

Nutty

I mean, the dog just saw something astounding.

Rich

Within 30 feet.

Rich

Ha.

Pat

What do you guys do?

Nutty

was he watching?

Pat

It's on the boat. The boat.

Nutty

Damn it. Fuck hell, man. Can't even get a good night's sleep.

Donnie

I get up.

Rich

Do you still have the stats for the wizard that we stole this boat from? Because I turned him into my bloody skeleton, and I have no idea what his stats are. Because I'm pulling my bloody skeleton out of my bag. Because I'm not dying alone out here.

Jake

just

Pat

I do not know. I do not remember...

Rich

You want to just give me some random stats?

Pat

We can...

Pat

Yeah, I can do that. How does your bloody skeleton work?

Rich

Well, it basically modifies the creature's stats just like every other Kree and Undead, except it being a bloody skeleton. It has fast healing and slightly better things.

Pat

So it has the same stats as the being that you slayed?

Rich

Yes, but they would have no constitution, but, and it changed.

Pat

And what So you're just asking for the six stats, or are you asking for a full sheet?

Rich

Yes, just the base stats.

Pat

That's fine. I can do that.

Rich

There are versions of the undead where they retain a lot. Like, he does retain his skills, but I don't fucking need a spellcaster's feats.

Pat

Yeah, these are his stats. Right here.

Rich

and help me.

Pat

What's up?

Pat

Freshly rolled.

Pat

Probably should be a little bit better. He was a wizard.

Donnie

I think he's pretty high level.

Pat

It was a pretty high level, was it actually?

Jake table talk

Hey, where are you bashing this shit, Rich?

Jake table talk

Okay.

Jake table talk

himself.

Pat

Just looking for an 18. All right, that last one. That's him.

Rich

He was ugly as fuck.

Pat

Yeah, he wasn't really a people person.

Rich

You know that's what his four was.

Pat

Damn right he dumped his charisma.

Rich

Ha.

Pat

One, two. Good Lord.

Pat

You hear laughing again. The dog's barking over and over and over. The dog hasn't bitten anything, so it's not within five feet of the hound.

Rich

So.

Pat

But it is barking.

Rich

I'm just going to wait it out until something gets bit and I get to hear it yell, God damn it.

Pat

And then the dog stops barking.

Donnie table talk

I think I saw this horror movie once.

Rich

Is he just going to interrupt our sleep?

Nutty

Yeah, I know. Why would you put a guard dog out there if you're not going to listen to him? We need to go investigate, whatever that was.

Pat table talk

Is this dog going to keep me up all night? God damn it. I'd rather...

Rich

Well, okay, so if we leave a barking guard dog on the outside and he ends up getting bit, whatever he's going to do is then going to have to touch our locked door. and maybe just immediately get hit with fucking going unconscious.

Nutty

I thought you were inside.

Donnie table talk

No, he hasn't said yet.

Donnie

Assuming that even fucking works on him.

Donnie

This requires a will save.

Rich

Fair enough. Well, I don't know. It's up to you guys. But I've only got, like, I've got a really random stray list of spells, and then I've got to start diving into my scrolls. And I only have so many of those.

Donnie

I've gotten... I can stay in guard at the door. I don't need to get spells back or anything.

Rich

All right. So I guess we'll wait out the...

Rich

eight hours or whatever. Or actually, I only need four hours of rest or two, I want to say. Because I've got the...

Rich

Ring of... Sustenance on.

Rich

So I just sleep for four hours or.

Pat

You guys are going to go back to sleep.

Donnie

I stand guard the door. Set up a chair. Kick my hat down in front of my eyes, you know.

Rich

And I actually only need two hours of sleep. So I'm just going to sleep straight for two hours.

Pat

A little while later, you start hearing barking again.

Rich

Sleep straight through it.

Pat

stops.

Jake

I give him the eligibility.

Pat

You all rest until morning.

Donnie

Okay.

Donnie table talk

You are a rest rich.

Rich

All right.

Jake table talk

It was only one of them eight hour ghosts.

Rich

Then, or I guess we're all ready then. I set up my bells for the morning.

Donnie

I'm going to check out on the sex that Pat go look through it. Is there anything noticeably different ship?

Pat

The ship has been filled completely with blood. Overnight, the crystal began to hum. When you walk into the room, you can tell that it's humming. The cracks are completely red. The crystal is not completely red. It is still the color of crystal, whatever. The... Sexton is showing you the usual numbers.

Pat

characters and things like that. And it has the familiar symbols that you've seen before.

Donnie

Well, at least it's looking normal again-ish. Except for the cracks, of course.

Pat

There's an arrow. Well, what setting do you have it on? One through nine.

Donnie

The one that I had it on with the flashing arrow that makes it go. What setting number is that?

Pat

Um...

Pat

Yeah, either way, it's still on that one.

Pat

Do you change any other settings?

Donnie

7.

Pat

Seven.

Rich

I'm going to try mending on the crystal and see if that works.

Pat

A zero level mending? Is that the one you're doing?

Rich

Yeah. You know, did it work? Did the cracks fix?

Pat

I'm just reading how it is.

Pat

Magic items can be repaired with mending. You must have a caster level equal to or higher than that of the object. Magic items are destroyed.

Pat

An attempt to mend an object created by a caster level higher than you destroys

Pat

It does not distribute.

Pat

It does not work, does not fix it. You do not have a caster level equal to or higher than that of the object.

Rich table talk

One day.

Pat table talk

One day at zero level spell will get me out of here. Prestidigitation.

Donnie table talk

One day.

Pat table talk

I love that spell.

Rich table talk

It's pretty magical.

Pat

Yeah, it's like zero level wish.

Pat

What do you do, Donnie?

Donnie

Although we want to

Donnie

See if there's other key does while we're here.

Jake

Leave this place. I don't want to be here anymore.

Donnie

It's just going to take us to a random place.

Jake

Better than hell.

Nutty

I mean, at least we might be able to talk to somebody.

Rich table talk

But you can remember, this is D&D. There's like six different hells. We might very well end up in a different hell.

Jake

And we're in one of them.

Donnie

of a fucking pandemonium.

Nutty

Well, then we gotta go solve that hell problem, because solving this hell problem isn't gonna get us out of hell, I don't think.

Jake table talk

Who's posted?

Nutty

We need to keep going until we get to Earth.

Rich table talk

Alright, so we're just, we're calling it. It's okay that we're calling it. I just want to know what the consensus is.

Rich

are pirates. This is a damn democracy.

Donnie

the time we could potentially come back and

Rich

I'm down to call it. This is a horrible place.

Nutty

You can jot down the coordinates or wherever the hell can't you?

Nutty

I've got the coordinates, I say go grab that key.

Nutty

take it with us in case so we don't have to go find it again if we do come back.

Donnie

Is that square key? Which has it already?

Nutty

Did you take it out of the, after you put it in or whatever?

Donnie

A circular key?

Rich

Yeah, because nothing happened.

Nutty

We should go get all the keys.

Donnie

with

Nutty

Get all the keys. Like you put the one that bit the demon, right?

Rich

Well, they...

Donnie

I don't think you can take him back.

Rich

I put it in, nothing works, so I put it back and yeah. I don't think we can get them back anyways. I think We're leaving. Whoever else tries to solve this dungeon is really going to get fucked because they're going to end up looking for something that is absolutely not in the universe anymore.

Rich

But let's go. It's an evil place. Leaving them some hope, I feel like, is just evil enough. Let's get out of here.

Donnie

In that case,

Rich

Can you reset it to originals? Yeah.

Donnie

try and navigate back to Earth.

Pat

How do you try to do that?

Rich

the settings back to where they were, Donnie.

Donnie

also jot down the settings for this location.

Ozan

Remember my teachings, Luke.

Donnie

So I'm going to try and get us back to Earth.

Donnie

or the material plane.

Donnie

So

Rich

All right, Donnie.

Donnie

We're gonna hit an inner planner trail roll.

Donnie

Do you want a pilot elemental airship or is that just for when I'm flying it?

Pat

Just the interplanetary travel roll is good.

Pat

And what do you do?

Donnie

button when I...

Donnie

I use what Ozone taught me and try and put it back in the original position it was in when I found it from memory, which would be pretty

Donnie

I think I have it set to what that looked like. to roll something for that?

Pat

Intelligence check.

Rich table talk

You want to fair point that, Donnie?

Donnie

a samurai's intelligence, okay? There's a modifier there.

Pat

Yeah, it's just an eight, you know, it's just like,

Rich table talk

It just is nice.

Jake table talk

You don't need intelligence when you have Bushido.

Rich

This is about right. I wonder where we're going now. I'm glad I rested up to get my spells back before we traveled off.

Rich

Let's go. See how this goes.

Pat

Hit the button.

Pat

The moment you hit the button, reality starts squeeeeeezing in on you. It's that familiar feeling. Things start vibrating and buzzing. You kind of feel like you can taste electricity. The ship elemental has been so well rested. It starts screaming in your mind again in pain.

Rich table talk

Ha

Donnie

Thanks a lot.

Rich table talk

Ha.

Donnie

Oh, I understand sound.

Pat

You hear the screams of the souls of the realm all around you as you tear open the webs as the ship begins to change shape and move through and around the web as it's leaving the spaces that were occupied by it. And you hear the howling winds of the abyss around you and the souls that are trapped in it. And then everything goes blank.

Rich

What kind of blank?

Pat

Everything goes black. Just nothingness. Absolute nothingness.

Donnie

we're in purgatory

Pat

And then slowly but surely, you start feeling your limbs and your face and the numbness of the tingling of all of your nerves and your body starts feeling like it's being repopulated and recreated. as I copy and paste your

Pat

and you appear on the ship You smell fresh air and you see around you this.

Pat table talk

Pardon my ship drawing. You're just going to have to deal with that's what it looks like.

Jake

It's a trick. It's a trick. Start her up. This is hell too.

Rich

It's all a fucking trap.

Donnie table talk

Ha.

Pat table talk

Doop.

Pat

You appear at a river crossing. There's a bridge around you. The boat is floating half on the rocks, half on the grass, kind of in the air. Water is flowing on and around the hull. You're crunched up next to the small bridge. You have no idea where the fuck you are. You smell fresh air. You feel wind. You don't hear the howling screams of the abyss around you.

Pat

You are no longer in hell.

Rich

Oh, thank God.

Jake

Happy days. I just want to see somebody in a boat and be like, where the fuck are we?

Rich

Oh, happy day.

Nutty

Yeah.

Rich

Gonna immediately cast Greater Mage Armor and Overland Flight and fly the fuck up to see if I can recognize anything familiar.

Jake

I wanted to turn into a bird, but I can't.

Donnie

Super.

Jake

freedom was taken from

Rich

It's really nice being able to fly in all the directions.

Pat

It was.

Jake

Yeah, but you don't get... Yeah, it's also nice to fuck all the animals when you're the animal. Really cool.

Pat table talk

Jesus.

Donnie

Now you gotta do it as a human dick and that's frowned upon, I'm sorry.

Jake

It's just... like,

Pat table talk

You don't even know what duck vagina feels like.

Jake table talk

Yeah, don't knock it until you try it.

Rich

Is there anything that I know with a natural one on my geography as far as where we are?

Jake table talk

That deer pussy.

Pat

You don't recognize anything.

Rich

Oh yeah, natural one.

Pat

Oh, shit. You should have... Oh, you did say that. Okay. Natural one.

Rich table talk

I did, I explicitly said that.

Donnie table talk

He did say natural one.

Pat table talk

You should have said something, Rich.

Rich table talk

I did my part.

Pat

Should let me know. You recognize some features and you're fairly sure that you know where you are. This is fairly close to home.

Rich

Oh shit, thank God.

Pat

Better close to Squiles.

Rich

Guys, we made it back to Squiles.

Rich

We are perfectly fucking safe here. Thank God.

Donnie

Hell yeah.

Donnie

I know I'm smart enough to fly this ship.

Jake table talk

Haha.

Jake

Donnie's like, looks like it. Picks up his fucking thrown captain's hat off the ground.

Rich

I'm so fucking proud of you for getting us home safely.

Donnie

Thank God for Kurt's teachings.

Pat table talk

Jesus, man. Hell sucks.

Rich table talk

You know, I never thought I'd say it, but yes, Pat, hell indeed sucks.

Pat

fuck out of there.

Pat

What do you guys do?

Nutty

We gotta get ozone up. We need to find a city.

Nutty

be sitting while you're up there, Rich?

Nutty

a city when you're up there?

Rich

actually didn't even do a perception check. I just kind of looked around and knew. I just knew.

Rich

Are you doubting me?

Nutty

I was wondering if you saw a city that guide us to a city.

Rich

Pat, did I see a city? I flew down before I really looked.

Pat

Let's see. Did you see a city?

Pat

No.

Donnie

Of course not.

Donnie

Well, I guess we gotta look for a city.

Pat

Everyone roll me a perception check.

Jake

set this bitch to impulse power.

Donnie

reception.

Rich

Affirmative.

Donnie

God, 27?

Donnie

Jesus, Nutty and a 37, you show him, bitch, is up.

Rich table talk

when I see something for once.

Pat

You notice the plants and the trees and the foliage all look very strange.

Donnie

I don't think we are in Kansas anymore.

Pat

You've never...

Pat

We've never seen plants like this before. Any of them. You've never seen trees that look like this? Mm-mm.

Rich

Like any of them?

Pat

I don't recognize any of this stuff.

Donnie

Fire up the ship.

Rich

34 on knowledge planes.

Pat

34 knowledge planes. You're pretty sure you're in the Fae.

Rich table talk

The Fae. I don't actually know much about the Fae. I'm going to do some Googling in just a moment.

Pat table talk

Farewell.

Rich

Actually, I suppose I need to do an intelligence check, or would that be... a separate knowledge planes check to know how much I can know.

Pat

No, knowledge plans with the 34s. You can read as much about the Fae as you want. I'm pretty sure you're in the Fae world.

Jake

I started making some coffee. Do we have coffee on the ship?

Jake

I'm rummaging through the old wizards things for coffee.

Rich

So I guess we didn't make it home.

Pat

As you look up in the sky, you see that the moon is changing shape and texture as it's tracking through the sky.

Jake

This place is cool as shit. It's a lot better than hell.

Pat table talk

um,

Pat

Which one of you is good-natured? Jake? You're good? You sense that the river is trying to telepathically communicate to you, but is asking your permission.

Jake

consent.

Pat table talk

Okay. And I'm willing to leave it at that if you guys want to as well.

Jake table talk

Yeah, that sounds good.

Pat table talk

Okay.

Pat

No.

Nutty

I'm sorry.

Jake

No.

Pat

That's where you're at.

Rich

Huh.

Donnie

Fire up the ship.

Rich

Call it again. We've got enough bodies.

Donnie

No, I'm not saying teleport. It's also a flying ship that's sitting on a fucking bank over a river.

Rich table talk

Ha.

Jake

I think this river wants to have sex

Donnie

Tell that elemental to get his ass to work.

Nutty table talk

Totally forgot the ship could fly for some damn reason.

Rich

Well, it's been stuck for a while.

Pat table talk

been, you literally almost never use the shampoo.

Nutty

I was like, okay, looks like we just got to hoof it to the next town.

Rich table talk

Hehehehehehe.

Donnie

We go up 100 feet in the air and see what we can see.

Pat table talk

during the next session.

Rich table talk

Yup.

Pat table talk

I consent.

Pat

To the river.

Pat table talk

Good job, guys. That took like a month.

Donnie table talk

Yeah, it did. We were stuck there for a while.

Pat table talk

And I love that no matter what you were like, I don't fucking care about the hell. I don't care about the dungeon. I don't care about anybody. I care about blood.

Donnie table talk

God.

Rich table talk

We did need to get out of there, though. Oh, thank you.

Donnie table talk

We could have gone through with the Dungeons.

Donnie

We might have survived. The monsters then they seemed a little scared, but...

Rich

Way to save me from the soul sucker. What the fuck was that guy?

Pat

Most of the loot down there just sucked. Like, it was good, but it also hurt you guys.

Rich

It's all evil shit.

Pat

with a lot of evil shit.

Donnie

Yep.

Pat table talk

bagpipes are pretty cool though.

Pat

And you do still have the apocalypse bar.

Donnie

Yep, we do.

Pat

no one is currently attached to the box.

Donnie

Thank God.

Rich

So let's just like put that hat in somebody's backpack and like forget about it entirely.

Rich

I think that's the only way.

Pat

That's the safest course of action. Forget it's in someone's bag.

Donnie table talk

laughter

Rich

It'll be lost in the ages.

Pat

Yep, or until the next time a guard catches you or takes your bag or something happens and they start looking through your stuff and they're like, what's this? And then it's like, well, there goes Cthulhu. All right. Did you gaze upon the dusty box?

Donnie

World's ending again, guys. We're going to choose another plane.

Rich

But that's

Pat

Where's the gold dragon? That's a big not my fucking problem.

Donnie table talk

Not my box, not my pants, that's what I always say.

Pat table talk

He always says, I hear him all the time.

Rich

So there's a Pathfinder wiki for something called The First World, and then there's a...

Donnie

Yeah, I was going to say, I can't find anything of Fae playing either.

Rich

There's a Forgotten Realms wiki on the Feywild.

Donnie

Yeah, F.A. Wilde.

Pat

Yeah, first world is what Pathfinders called it.

Pat

Titles Realm of the Fey.

Rich

Just making sure.

Donnie

This is also probably a scary place to be.

Rich

Well, it's more chaotic by nature, so I do feel safer here than, you know, just evil chaotic.

Donnie

to be the god's first draft of a sequent plane later split into the material plane and the shadow plane.

Pat

Regions of the First World remain as test grounds for different, unfinished, and sometimes mutable, evolving physical properties. Gravity is inconsistent. The speed of light is arbitrary.

Rich

Fuck yeah.

Pat

And sometimes variable.

Rich

This is gonna be fun.

Donnie

The unfinished First World lacks universal fixed laws of physics.

Pat

where these regions overlap.

Donnie

Whoa. Okay. All right. Shit.

Pat

Constantly varying wilderness, trees as tall as mountains, living bodies of water, traveling fairy courts, epitomizes chaos of birth and fertility.

Pat

Conditions vary dramatically from place to place.

Pat

What is considered to be local laws of nature in the material plan are no more than bylaws in the first world. And they can even be overturned, even unconsciously, by those with sufficient willpower. Times and distances are unreliable in the first world.

Rich

so I think we found home. We found home, guys.

Rich

We got...

Ozan

Good thing we all made it out of there alive.

Rich

I'm also wondering if... I'm wondering if your soul, having been ripped out of here, would end up getting ejected, like...

Donnie

Good thing.

Rich

apparently rules don't apply here. I'm wondering if we can go to the river of souls and like get you back.

Ozan

I mean, if the rules don't apply, maybe I just kind of materialize out of thin air.

Rich

Maybe, well, we've got your body. Can you let just rejoin your body if you're, I don't know.

Donnie

is where new souls go.

Ozan

Pat, my stateless self tries to rejoin my body.

Pat

Roll me...

Donnie

The first world also...

Pat

Roll me a natural 20.

Pat

It does not join your mortal body.

Rich

Damn it.

Ozan

Worth a shot.

Pat

Yeah, 5% chance.

Donnie

This is where Sol's... go after their creatives. New souls in that sense, not like newly departed souls.

Donnie

Oh, River of Souls.

Donnie

The inhabitants of the First World are themselves blocked from their souls, making its inhabitants effectively immortal.

Donnie

When a native of the First World dies, their energy simply returns to the First World. None of the plane's souls exit them, nor do new souls enter.

Rich

What if we like...

Rich

have Ozone drink it or is it just too late? Things we'll try on the next session.

Ozan

I'm pretty sure my body is missed. I don't think there's much left of it. I was negative 97.

Rich

Oh, shit, you're right.

Pat

not missed, it's just like, you know, he punched straight through you and then ragdolled you. So you're like a pile of like Bones and flesh and mass. Yeah.

Rich

Yeah. As long as we, yeah, you know.

Ozan

I'm just, you know, grab some band-aids and slap them on.

Pat

Yeah, dude.

Rich

Since we're here, you want to? We'll save you soon. God damn it. We've got to figure this out.

Pat table talk

Yep, we've only got until midnight, so this is a good place to call it.

Rich

But we've solved all our other problems.

Rich

Now we just have to save Ozon.

Donnie

Dope, I just took Sylvan. I can speak to fey creatures.

Donnie

I don't know.

Rich

What's our experience looking like?

Pat table talk

Oh, yeah.

Pat

Did I give you guys experience yesterday?

Rich

Because I want to say we're at like

Donnie

Yeah, we leveled up yesterday.

Rich

We did not.

Rich

Wait, what? No.

Pat

started yesterday at 11.

Pat

And then you got

Rich

No, we were at 55. We'd gone on 11 a couple. We've gone on 11 a couple sessions.

Pat

No.

Rich table talk

Had a win.

Pat

Because everyone had to level up.

Donnie

Last session was the first time it was level 11.

Rich

No, that was before the break. When were we at 55%? I just remember writing down the note of it.

Pat

Yesterday. No, everyone had to remember to level up.

Pat

probably at level 10, halfway through.

Pat

Anyway, everyone is, was after yesterday's session was at 20% at level 11 towards 12. And now everyone is at 40% at level 11 towards 12.

Rich table talk

Well...

Pat table talk

All right.

Rich table talk

Sweet.

Pat table talk

See you all tomorrow.

Rich table talk

Have a good night.

Ozan table talk

Night.
