Transcript

Johnny didn't die by these stone golem things.

He was floating on the floating disc last I checked.

Ain't no floating disk.

We hauled your ass on a fucking plate.

Is Tony fucked up?

It's fucked up, guy.

How fucked up am I?

we've gone a lot of rounds. Doesn't he have like a fast region?

cap on that though too

But I also am not unconscious at zero. So if that was what we're talking about.

You're not. Okay.

I'm currently at 18 health.

I turned on Explorer mode, so you guys should now have some Fog of War changes. Let me know how that goes. I don't really know what that's going to do.

Okay. What do you guys do?

Lighting gets blocked based on angle and there does seem to be like a half shaded area that you can kind of sense.

Dead body right there.

Hmm.

Okay, game plan. What are we doing? What's the plan here, guys?

What happened here? Once with this dead body?

And why is Jake locked in this room by himself?

He's jerking off that statue in there.

Makes sense.

What's up with the handprint?

I don't know, Donnie. Why don't you lift that up and find out?

I mean, have you guys done that already?

Yeah. Some people may or may not have been cursed.

Yeah, okay. I remember you guys just talking about this aging curse.

Yeah, what was the verdict on how we get rid of this, if there was one?

You guys roll some Knowledge Arcana. See if you recognize this curse.

We must counteract it with the fountain of youth.

or remove or remove curse so you know once we get the fuck out of here we should be good

maybe that

Yeah.

to your local cleric.

Like, can we reverse it?

I'm not in here, nutty.

I'm not sure. We haven't gone past this door yet.

I'm a vampire. I don't care. Well, half vampire. But...

All right. There's a hammer on the table.

There is.

Yeah, we're proceeding with caution.

Proceed with caution.

Oh yeah, this left room with a statue in it. Don't fuck with that statue.

Good to know.

Oh, yeah, we broke it. Never mind. Just ignore me.

So Donnie, you see some living quarters. You enter and it looks like they've been hastily cleared out of items and things are in disarray in here.

It looks like people left in haste.

What is it? Is there like a little trunk at the foot of that bed?

There is a trunk at the foot of the bed. It is open. And there are some robes in it. The robes are red.

I take one.

How many red ropes?

takes the red robe. There are a six-sided digest.

Oh boy, I hope there's enough for all of us.

the space for children.

10 minutes? 20?

No, it's been like an hour.

Where's the space?

Yeah.

Is there a space in there? Yeah. Where?

Did you, I'll roll the six-sided die.

There we go.

Oh, you rolled it. Okay. And I rolled a D60 like a putz.

I totally forgot how that command goes. My beat.

Good thing I didn't roll. You have 56 robes to have to figure out what to do with.

These robes look like the robes the guys were wearing that we saw, the three guys.

I would definitely like one of these.

identical to the robes the guys were wearing.

Are there any, like, I don't know, books or, like, objects?

Yeah, there's a book on the shelf that is like...

It has like a pentagram on it.

Like as a book cover or a curse?

It's got a, it's like got a pentagram on the cover. There's no title.

Do I know anything about that symbol?

Do you have knowledge arcana, knowledge history, or knowledge symbology?

Gliss.

What is the symbolism?

Knowledge symbology, that's a thing.

Symbolism. Symbolism.

What do I know?

the 25 think this might be some sort of like a cult book on like keeping track of finances

The evil tax book.

evil.

It's an evil tax book, Jess.

I grab it unless there's anything that looks More mysterious and not taxed.

belongs to those evil occultist accountants.

And I'm just going to go ahead.

All right. You have an occult textbook.

I grab it. You might learn things about them, their expenses and shit.

I'm at the table with the hammer.

Hail you.

coming into my,

to your character sheet and I can do that. But for now you are the fucking surf slave

There you are. Well, Whoa, excellent.

Yes, maybe I did some janitorial work when I was a wee robot. Grown-ass Android.

As we move through, do I still feel alone? Other than the team.

I do. I do not know where you guys are.

do you feel alone?

I mean, do I get the sense that there are other guys in red robes? You know, like, do I hear anybody other than my team?

Like emotionally?

You don't see or hear anybody moving around at all, but there's a lot of stuff that looks hastily cleared out. Like personal items were grabbed and people left in a rush.

I walk by Ozon's character and I slap him on the tits.

And also...

I'm going to check out this room for swag.

You notice that candles are still lit.

Who the fuck's this in this room here?

We're going to check which room for swag.

The one I'm in on the far right, 32 total.

I don't know who this person is posted up in this room.

There's no swag in that room except for some mugs on the table, half of a sandwich, and... Yeah, there's no other swag in that room.

What type of sandwich, actually?

Meh.

Pass.

Ha.

Hey, man, if all pork chops were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs.

What's going on in this here room? Should I...

There's this dude in my room.

Identify yourself.

What's going on?

Oh, I said, what's going on in this room? I'm in a new room now.

There's a hearth. It's a bigger room. I'm with Miss Cleo.

Okay, you're up there. Okay, so you see two dead bodies on the ground. There's a forge in the corner. The forge is still warm. The coals are lit. They're dying. But it looks as if someone was here forging recently. And they've left in a haste. Candles are still lit. There's a sword that's in the coals that's being forged right now. The sword is not complete, but it is like, you know, a half completed sword. There are various blacksmithing tools and anything related to blacksmithing would be in this room.

What does that note say that you got earlier? Did we ever actually look at it?

I suppose I could like read it. My character reads it out loud, but it is in the discourse.

Cult shit.

Yeah, they said they'd meet in like three days under the full. They didn't say in three days. They said under the full or some shit like that.

Brimson Nights, the time has come to begin the ritual. Death has no end once we are

Graveyard and full moon neck. Under the gravestone mark, a toss high. Let's welcome new lord in life.

I picked it up. Don't you worry.

I got you. Grimson knights, the time has come to begin the ritual. Death has no end once we are complete. Let us gather in the graveyard on the next full moon under the gravestone marked Atar's Pie. Let us welcome our new lord and life, Brother Felhorn. How's that?

Dude, yeah. Jake, you just fucking earned yourself one prestige point. No, I'm not fucking with those right now. I'm not fucking with those.

What's going on with this?

Welcome to D&D where the points are useless. Points don't matter.

the big ass hand.

Does that dude who's up on that hand up there look like he's alive?

Do you go and investigate?

I investigate from a distance.

As you're right.

He does not appear to be alive, no.

I want to know what's up with this dude in the room I'm in.

I'm waiting for the rest of the team.

Yeah, well, Donnie's over here with some naked guy.

What the hell's going on with the said naked guy?

What's your name again?

There's a making check.

The one in my room.

Whoa, there's multiple naked guys?

Well, Donnie...

Donnie, you went into this room and there's a dude, right? And he's like up against the bed and he looks pale and like he's horrified. And his chest has a hole in it. And he's like got desiccated skin. And it looks like his heart has been removed. And he like looks like this would happen while he was like in the corner of the room, but there's no blood. And it looks like it was done in a way where it's just a vacant hole and everything around it appears to be like his body is in like a state of either preservation.

Eww!

or maybe suspended animation. He doesn't look like it was done in like a messy, cutty way, but more like a magical, plucky way.

Hmm.

Does he appear to be alive?

He looks kind of like he has life in his eyes, but he's not moving.

and a spring in his step

You know, you know.

That's some serial killer shit.

Yeah, that definitely looks good.

a belt man of nipples next to him on the table.

I poke him.

You poke him, Donnie?

Yeah, I thought we'd poke him.

Sweet.

for all the problems.

You poke him. Your finger touches his leathery, papery skin and pushes right into his body.

Take a sample of this guy.

Ha

Very scientist.

Have a sample.

for science

99 empty vials left.

as a man of science.

Behold yourselves. This man is a doctor.

Random unlabeled vials of stuff.

Brandy's unlabeled,

a child. It was killed.

For a purpose.

What's going on with this? Is the sword touchable or is it hot?

Yeah, I mean, Donnie, you're our crafting guy, dude. What's up, man?

Restored is... You touch it.

I put my hand near it to see if I feel healed.

Shit, yeah, it's in the cold. It feels hella hot.

Okay, I'm not...

And what about these here bodies? Body.

He's up here with us in the main room.

by the coals.

Just mopping up the blood.

L three X and D three R.

three

So you guys go examine the body. You examine this body. What are you doing?

I check I move forward and check these door for traps.

you check up the traps

I use my eyes.

Use perception and roll that shit, honky.

I used Nutty's eyes.

Those aren't doors, is what you find out. They're stairs, motherfucker.

Mmm, I knew it.

No, you didn't. That's why you wrote perception. That's what 10 gets you.

Ha.

I'm gonna go down these stairs and check out the fancy room.

You go down the stairs.

I do.

Roaming Perception.

halfway down the stairs, you don't see a trick wire.

Ha!

I'm flying down the stairs, sir. I walk nowhere in this dungeon.

How long does your fly last?

Tripwire is chest height, buddy.

Let's see, it would be...

10 minutes

This ain't fucking Jumanji, dude. It's a tripwire. She could be anywhere.

Yeah, you hit that shit. Somehow, you're fucking flying, and your leg fucking clips it. It got you. Sorry, Mr. National One.

Who the fuck puts a triple out of the ceiling?

Ha.

They call it a clothesline.

Yes, they do.

Flaming jets blast down the stairs. Need a reflex save, Rich.

All right.

Cheers.

Reflex for half. DC 20.

24. 24.

You get half damage. 23 damage.

there's a fuck ton of fire that comes out of the sides. There's some flaming jets and the trip wire has been sprung.

Well, I guess I will now note I'm always flying a few feet above the ground.

Tripwire was chest high, buddy. Jake was right. Very thin tripwire.

Optically speaking, hard to fucking see.

Did we notice the flame explosion-iness?

Yeah, you did. Hell yeah, you did.

I've heard the screams.

There's also a cage.

in the middle of the room in there that you see.

I'd like to go into this room very cautiously.

I summon Becky as my psionic weapon.

Okay? You have Becky. You're holding her. You're caressing her. What do you say to her?

I say, it's all going to be over soon. And then I give it a kiss.

Roll damage.

I don't kiss that aggressively now.

walk up these stairs and I examine this body.

Do you touch the pad, the hand at all?

Um...

I'd say, yeah. I'd say, I'd say I approach the body and I step onto the rug.

Okay. The curtain right here opens up. There's a painting on the wall. The painting immediately starts moving and says... If you want to get past me, answer me these questions. Three, are you willing to take this challenge?

I accept your riddle, Sphinx.

Does that count as one of the questions?

if you have questions.

Painting of the Sphinx says, a king has one of these, a nun has two, but a whore has none at all.

A king has one, a nun has two, but a whore has none at all.

Who has one?

I was going to say teeth.

The king.

The most important, because kings have everything. Nuns, they ain't got a lot of stuff. Whores could have everything or nothing.

So, I'm gonna say...

Ha.

You're laughing at my sheer horror. God damn it, Jake.

I'm going to say home.

No. And then the pad electrifies and shoots you with electricity.

Reflect save for half.

Fucking traps.

Wait, that's...

that's not d15, roll 15 d6

Okay. You take half damage, 30 damage. Zap! A big fucking bolt of lightning hits you from the pad.

I hate electricity.

If you break the floor, you get infinite guesses.

What's your hit point, Sajig?

Minus three, you said?

No, you took 30.

Oh Christ.

48

So you're at

I had 78 max.

So you're at 78. You just took 30. Now you're at 48.

And then the Sphinx on the wall says, a king has one of these, a nun has two, but a whore has none at all. And then what's everyone else doing?

I'm checking this room for traps.

In this room down here with this guy on his knees.

a guy on his knees.

Oh, I know.

Lozon, you're going to go up there and start answering this sphinx? Are you going to yell the answer down the room?

Um,

Leo, I need your free reading!

And is this a cage on the ground down here?

Jake's right up here.

It's by the white hand.

The janitor.

He's right. He's right up here in this room fucking with his painting.

And I'm about to enter trap room.

You can hear the voice from where you're standing, though. It's booming.

I'm going to

I'm going to share memory with Jake here.

is I momentarily link my mind with the target and share a single memory of no longer than one minute. Can I do that?

We're also all still linked. Yeah, we can just talk to each other.

Yeah, we're a psychic link if you just want to answer for it.

No, Jake was the one not linked.

can I share memory with Jake? I also don't know where everyone is in the map.

Can I share your memory with them?

We split the fuck up.

More here.

I don't know where you are. I'm like, I had some dead body. So that's you.

No, Jake is up here.

But there's like traps out here.

There's like traps out. And I'm also next to you.

Oh, this way? This?

you enter the room and the Sphinx looks at you and says, answer me these questions three.

That's where this...

Ha.

Oh hey, a newcomer! Since the last guy fucked up the first one, I'll give you the first one again.

Yeah.

Wait, is this Jake?

Nice shake, yeah.

Okay. And he just got shocked by Sphinx?

He got shocked. Yeah.

Pretty bad.

By Sphinx, you said?

Yeah, he got shocked by the painting, by the concept of a space.

painting of a Sphinx even worse

Yeah, even more, bitch.

the Sphinx is still like there talking and shit.

Yeah, the painting is moving and talking.

Can I share memory with Jake by touching him?

Yeah.

Okay, I touch his shoulder and I share him the memory of me in elementary school as a little girl like Pathfinder Jamaica. And the teacher is writing out all the letters. And I... I like start at the point in which she's teaching me to let her in.

That's the memory I share.

Thanks, Ozone.

I think he gave you another riddle.

I think you get it.

You just give them more riddles?

Yeah, exactly. What a friend.

want to get shocked again. I just wince. Yeah.

You know how happy I was as a child?

When I was back at the school, man, learning and shit.

What the fuck was that? Stay it on my head, please.

Yeah, exactly.

The Phoenix says, are you ready to give me my answer?

I point to either me or Ozone.

looks directly at you, Alexander.

Letter N.

What's everyone else doing? Oh, Jake is...

I'm still in this room with the guy on his knees.

A riddle, I say processing.

Woo.

I want to go in this trap fire room.

Then go on in.

I just stroll... No, I don't. I do not stroll on it. I would like to, like...

acrobatically and suavely go down these here stairs.

I'm trying to figure out where you are.

Oh, I'm down here with the cage room that Rich got all trapped up in. Oh.

So the trip wire that Rich went through is now like on the floor in a little coil like it's been tripped. You don't see a second one, but you haven't really looked for one. Would you like to roll Perception?

would really love that.

Nadie, what are you rolling?

Those are the zero and ones of Jake's processing.

Got it.

What the fuck is that?

Bilibili, bili.

So what does a 39 show me? Because I don't want to get hit with another fucking fireball.

39 show you for what?

Jess, you rolled a 15. You don't see any other tripwires.

I'm going to walk down these stairs.

You walk down the stairs, nothing bad happens to you.

I'd like to look in this grate.

The cage looks to have that handprint that you see kind of all around this area. The cage has no doors. It's just a solid cage on all sides.

What's going on in here?

There are Like everything else has been kind of hastily like removed things and items have been grabbed. you see some, the candle still burning. It looks to be there's a stack of papers. You see an inkwell and an ink pen that have been put down hastily. So there's ink smearing on the table. It looks like someone was writing something but then took it with them from the stack of papers.

Oh, I'm sagging. I was hoping they left it. I'm going to rifle through drawers and books and shit in here for a minute.

Yeah, Kent.

Hanging out in this room with the dude on his knees.

Alright, so that dude on his knees looks like he was praying, and then he as well looks like a fucking motionless statue. with desiccated skin, pretty preserved. A mummification or something. His eyes are pretty messy. And he

died pretty quickly.

Poke this guy.

Your finger goes right into him. You take a sample.

Yep, I do.

Maybe you, Jake, you up there talking to the Sphinx?

I am not talking to the Sphinx. I am thinking

Uh...

My thought was fathers.

others. Keep listening to this thought.

I'm thinking dads.

You're just meditating on the word bothers?

Yeah, because that's what I think the answer is.

Oh, there's... Oh.

Dads.

I see. Okay. I share another memory with you.

Yeah.

I share another memory with you and it's of now I'm in. first grade right no second yeah second grade

My teacher is teaching me that you can string letters together to make words.

Yes, Ozan. Yes, Ms. Cleo, your childhood was very lovely.

slap you in the face and I say the letter N, you fool.

I say, I tell the Sphinx the letter N.

See what that gets you?

The Sphinx says... Excellent. Next question.

What?

There was this fella. He had a cartload of wood. It had no knots, no grain, no boards or blocks to be seen. What kind of wood was in the cart?

I kind of couldn't hear you. But right as it's talking, I mentally tell Ozone, I'm like, this fucking painting's autistic.

While dialing, it sure seems capable of electricity.

Oh god, the letter N?

I'm thinking to Ozone right now.

I telepathically communicated to everyone else so that they can give an answer to

There is a fellow who had a cartload of wood. It had no knots, no grain, no boards or blocks to be seen. What is in the cart?

Just the guy, you Trixie fucking sphinx.

There was a fellow who had a cart with a wood. The wood had no knots, no grain, no boards or blocks to be seen. What is in the cart?

How much HP do you have?

I just shut it down the hallway. Do I get electrocuted?

Can you shout something down the hallway?

No, but I'm talking to him telepathically.

I'm not staking my life on it. I'm staying in this other room.

I'm going to say... Was it, is it just a woodsman? I'll say Woodsman.

Wrong. Only reflex save.

Hello.

reflex for half that shit.

24 damage.

I pull, I pull, I pull, I grab Ozon and pull him in the circle with me.

How much HP do you have?

Get out of the circle, Jake. Where are you?

No, we in this together, dude.

There was a fellow who had a cartload of wood.

How much H3 do you have?

Are you going to be able to survive another hit?

Yeah, the Sphinx is trying to sing with you. It's a call and response.

I step off the rug.

Get the fuck off of this.

Do you say your answer to the sphinxism?

Let me check my HP real quick.

Roll the dice, man.

Max 60 damage, so if you have less than 60 life, be careful.

We'll start that out if it comes to it. Yeah, if I can answer the sphinx, I'd give it the response that the wood had. a load of wood.

Describe the load of wood.

It's the only way I can call him.

I say, honey, I ain't get all day.

I literally say, honey, I ain't got all day in response.

Roll reflex save.

You take 53 points of damage.

Oh, Jesus.

How much?

53.

We told you 60 max.

God will just come out from behind it and stab the fuck out of him.

With my head tie, I just...

Answer my riddles three, fucker.

for the hit die? Is it just like 6 plus 96 if my hit die is d6? Right?

6 plus 96 plus your constitution modifier for each one of those rules. It's just, that would just be 10 times your con modifier.

All plus costs.

And it's

The first time, is it 6 plus d6 or you just flat 6?

It's Max.

The first one is always Max. What's your constitution modifier?

So you're going to add 10 total because you have 10 levels worth of Constitution modifier. So you already have 16 and then roll 96.

That could work, right? Oh, that's pretty good, right? Except not good enough.

So 6 plus 96 plus 10. Yeah, that works. You have 55 hit points. So you are at 2 points of health.

Oh, and I took 53.

I look at Alexander, I'm like, What the fuck is wrong with this painting?

Okay, I say, come over here, honey. You say that.

Yeah. Yeah. You like that? Yeah. It's not so fucking crazy now, is he?

Except for the thing. God, okay, I say.

It's wood with no knots, no grade, no boards, or blocks.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Dude, I'm going to burn this goddamn thing.

Let's see here.

God, that is a fuck ton of dice. Those blue dice terrify me.

Oh, Jesus.

You take 51 points of damage. Plap!

Okay.

I'm at seven.

You guys want to go this way with me?

Yeah, this is my name. Down these stairs towards the planter road.

Sphinx knows something.

The stinks fucking know something.

He's going to give into interrogation eventually.

This dog fucking talks.

Can I try?

Okay.

This thing says, of course, you can try.

Show me what you got.

Did he just suck it up the blood that we're all losing here?

What you got?

I just don't want to be alone. I don't want to be left out.

He says that is correct. Next question.

Sawdust.

What's this next question, fool?

Your final question.

You are born possessing me, but come time to die, none of you will still have me. What am I? Virginity.

Let's step back case he just shoots a fire watch if we're getting it right.

I take a step back out of the room.

I walked by the stairs.

Lightning bounces

or me or riddles three.

Head around the corner. Good job. You're doing great.

He saved him a different answer.

So who answered?

I mean, I think I'm in the spot, but yeah, me.

He says, that is correct. You have answered my riddles three.

And then the floor opens out from under me.

And then...

And then, Jess, you are essentially...

The whole hand lights up and you are teleported.

Oh shit.

You are teleported. with the body as well.

I don't like it. I don't like it. I didn't want to be teleported. Fuck.

I shared the mental link. I'm like, you okay?

This has been happening a lot. Are you all right?

Am I okay?

The hand is still glowing, by the way, guys. You are just fine. You landed in a tangle with a dead body, though.

I'll give it a minute.

I do a somersault.

It gets louder and louder and louder and louder.

I'd like to move out of the way.

You land.

not be landed on

They're playing some crazy techno in here.

You land with force, though. It's not gentle. Like, that's some low-grade teleporter technology they're using.

I checked the pulse on this fucking dude.

And I go through his pockets.

Dude has nothing in his pockets and he is dead.

I turn around and look at Jess, I go, natural causes.

Yeah.

Well... What's, is anybody else coming? just us? I want to look in this room.

with everybody.

Has anyone got any healing?

I use my

I take a minute to set up a spell.

I have to cure moderate wounds. a couple potions.

I use my auto hypnosis to scan and memorize everything in the room.

All right, you scan and memorize everything. Like, what do you mean? Like, what do you memorize?

I read the book hella fast. I fucking I literally just like scan the room.

Okay, you scan the room. The book is like a bunch of notes, and it's referring to activating the Nexus portals. And it's like basically just sort of like he's trying – to go to another plane and they're having difficulty navigating to where they want to go in the other plane. So it's a lot of math and calculations.

Totally worth memorizing.

Does anyone else jump on the pad?

Blam!

You smash into this room. A lot of force, a lot of speed, kind of tangled up in this dead body. Someone should probably move that out of the teleporter.

I think I'm blown up. Oh, dude, you teleport with your foot in his stomach. Gross.

I mean, no big deal.

What do you guys do?

Yeah, was there anything in the other room, Jess?

Thanks.

I don't know. Let me see if I see what my elven eyes see.

Guess not.

i tell the i tell the crowd there's a there's a door outside

Thank you, Shoshana. See you at the market.

See the mop going by.

What's a cool...

Cider from the other end?

While this is all going on,

I'm gonna... Investigate this room up ahead.

All right, so you investigate the room.

Which one?

This one right here.

Gotcha.

Okay, in this room are a lot of books about a lot of subjects. A little tiny library.

you see some bloody footprints going up the stairs.

Alright. I'm going to also take 20 and go through their library real quick. Looking for...

20 minutes. It's quite a long time. So you're doing that?

That is not true. I have a thing that lets me do it in a minute.

I.

see you in 10 rounds.

I take the teleporter back.

Hop on the hand, the palm.

Yes.

When you hop on the palm, you remember from the book, it was talking about sitting in the grasp of the five candles. And you're like, oh, shit, this is probably what the book was referring to. And it has a word.

Yeah, I think.

And the word it was uttering said out of the word rectu rexu when sitting in the palm of the five candles. Once I did that, I've got it. It says in the notes like I've got it tuned to the first of the seven candles. the first of the seven nexuses and it was like basically in his notes he's talking about how the nexuses are probably form some sort of weapon or some sort of powerful thing and he's worried about going he doesn't want to go without being prepared he doesn't know what's what exists on the other side of this veil so even though he thinks he's figured out how to do it and it's tuned to do it he hasn't made the jump yet He's worried about what's on the other side.

Hey.

Perfect. Okay. I take dead body over here, throw him in the fucking hand.

And then Damn it. Do I can I get a I just need a little character sheet real quick. I have a I'm gonna give him my Psy crystal

You give him your side crystal and you need, you need him to have a character shooter. You need a character shoot for your side crystal.

My side crystal, yeah.

All right, Nutty, I'm going to give him one of your blank sheets.

No, those are nutty spares. All right. I got another blank sheet.

edit sheet directly,

This is in Player's Journal. Taking it out of Donnie's and putting it into Ray Parker's. Can be added by Ray Parker. And this is for your side crystal.

It's the Chaos Org.

And then I've saved it. So you should now have side crystal sheet.

You throw the body onto the hand.

And then I...

Speak the magic words.

Always the sea crystal.

It's... I'm going to put it in its mouth.

You stuff the crystal in the dead body's mouth.

And then I say the incantation.

And you say, Rektu.

Rektu Rexu.

one

Hey, can everyone right now see where they are on the map?

Yes.

Yeah.

You have vision on that body?

I do, yeah.

I do.

I think we have vision on Donnie.

Oh, now I do. Shit, yeah.

So you can see it? Okay, great.

Okay, that's going to be important here in a second. Okay, so, and you say, Rekdu, Reksu, and with the side crystal stuffed in, can you see through the side crystal?

Yes, we have a telepathic link.

Can anyone else see through his side crystal?

No. No.

I thought that everyone could see through your daily club.

No, it's mine. It's mine. It's my special.

Come to the secret room with me.

Oh, he's gonna betray us now.

Secrets don't make plans.

I think, Hozan, what we got to do is destroy this hand.

Who's he trying to resurrect?

Don't let him ever come back. He's not trying to resurrect anybody. He sent the dead body through the portal thing.

See what's on the other side.

And he stepped his crystal on it so he could get a glimpse without having to go himself.

Aha.

What was the Rexu, whatever that thing about?

Rikku Riksu, that was the end.

the command word

Those were the words to activate the portal thing to teleport you.

OK, but doesn't that mean resurrect?

So pretty sure this, like me,

Maybe, but it doesn't in this universe.

I know, but I think the thing that the command was basically like Tig Latin-ish for resurrect it sounded like.

I feel you. There's definitely some roots going on in there. Rektu, Resu. Yeah, I feel you. But he found a book also that the idea that this place might not be stable or awesome, so he didn't want to be in the dead body.

Who was the dead body?

Random dude who was lying there when they teleported in the room. Poor bastard that the painting killed.

And now he's

Also, anyone who follows us, I have a couple of cure models.

Wait, you have Cure Mod. Actually, I have some too.

I would love some potions if someone's got some.

I have a potion for you. I just... Yeah, if anyone...

I am at 28 health and all out fast heal for the day.

because they wanted that.

Brad, yeah, I got you.

I'm at 7 Health thinking about going back inside the city.

I'll bring you some more later down the road.

We're all fucked up, aren't we?

No, I'm pretty good. I got hit, I think, once back in the thought I'm going to look right now. No, I didn't even get hit once. I'm at max.

Was that frontline fighter? I was taking all the hits.

Damn painting dropped three of us down to fucking ill health.

I'm taking away one of my potion of cure moderate. So add one for me.

I'm just going to drink it right now.

All right.

And I'm just using one of... I have two more castings, and I'm using one of them on me. I'll use the next one on whomever I run into next.

Well...

I saw... Then where I teleported it to it looked it was very windy There was a looked like a broken down fortress in the snow there was a I couldn't tell how big it was, but it looked like some kind of fucking Snow stone creature off in the distance and a giant pulsing dome with a spire glowing brilliant light in the middle of it.

I say we should go.

I think we should take a day and rest and heal before we go and have spells.

Yeah, I agree.

We have...

That would be great.

want to explore this in between place before we hop for sure. Like, we're at this...

That is where you came in. It begins to glow.

We got a fucking little teleport motion.

Is that a save point?

Ozon's carrying wounds up in this bitch.

Wow, I got a lot of them.

The care ones?

What's up, buddy? Where you at?

All right, I'd take some of them.

Yeah, no shit.

I mean, it's a lot.

Although, yeah, I don't want to use your potion, Jess, if we're going to rest for the night.

How much do you heal and you rest for tonight?

It's only 9.30.

40.

I was just talking about resting before we go in the portal. We can just say 24 hour passes.

Yeah, I want to look around in this here room.

I guess you can sleep. I'm fine. I'm fine.

That's the guy that almost died.

Robot, not guy.

Did I find anything sweet meandering around this library section?

So it's been a minute. You find a bunch of books on every topic that you can pretty much think of. It's like a personal study.

Oh, fuck it.

Any magical ones?

books on magical subjects or books that are magic.

All motivational speaking books, dude.

And that.

On 18, 19, or 20, there's a magical book. There are no magical books. You do find a book on curses, however.

I think I'll take that book.

fucking saving throw, Rich, as you touch the book on curses after rolling a natural one.

Well...

It's fucking cursed.

Of course.

Introduction, you are cursed. Upon opening this book, you have been cursed.

Dude, read it fast.

Will safe? Wait, no. Right? Will safe?

Oh, please don't, but...

Roll me a will save. DC 25. Oh yeah, baby. You are fucking cursed. You are cursed.

I get to add a D8 to it. It's already, it's 32.

Curses don't stack, do they?

Oh, you do need to grab a DA. All right, that's cool, man. You resist the curse.

Well, no, actually. I get an automatic plus eight against curses. All right. And again, I'll come back to this when I'm immune to it. Fuck you.

and throw that book back on the goddamn shelf. It just says you are cursed when you open it up.

I put it in a bag and then I stash it. I'm bringing a cursed book with me. Yes. What would you like me to title it?

Wait, did he save, did he make the will save?

he did. He gets a plus eight to curses automatically.

What's with the weird shimmery blue spot there?

I go back through the town's order.

That's what the teleport didn't go back.

All right, what do y'all do?

I go outside this room that we're in randomly teleported to.

You're the Jekyll, right? You can't go outside. That's a bad spot. You can't go outside.

I mean, I'll go back and join the group and heal up for the night if someone wants to hit me with some, cure shit.

Hell yeah. We'll heal up and then explode.

Or y'all could come here and rest.

I want to be, if you wanted to take my healing potion still.

Sleep by the teleporter. Take shifts.

If we're going to

No, we got Ozone, dude.

chill for the evening yeah exactly

I mean...

There's rooms with beds down there.

I don't know if

Okay.

But after what I saw, like...

wants to rest against Feldback.

Like, after what I saw, not only do I have to go get my... would like to go get my side crystal, but... That's somewhere where we should totally go. There's...

Wait, why should we go there?

Is it really

It's not a good environment. It's pretty harsh. The snow was pretty crazy. It's not a planes thing. I couldn't get a read on it. But...

Bright

Why should we go there?

Because there's fucking... Because there's evil witches...

Do any of us have the ability to make it a palatable environment?

Make it.

Yes.

There's evil witches there?

No, I sense evil, man. I mean, not that I sensed evil. There are just... There's not do-gooders, right? And I gotta go expedite these motherfuckers from that plane.

Or you could leave, and I hear there's like a part-time job in a smithy in town.

Do you think you're...

Really? What does it pay?

One copper an hour.

I think I'm kind of in.

I'm immortal, so that's fucking...

I can milk that shit.

Work my way up to manager.

why do you want to chase the evils so bad though?

Because that looks like a place where there's going to be a shit ton of loot. That just looks like the next fucking, that looks like we can just gang up on that shit. It'd be easy as fuck.

I'm all about that loot.

Hold on. How many cure spells do you get?

about that loot, dude. Give me the loot.

How many what?

Cure spells.

Yeah, cure.

Here, C-U-R-E.

I think, yeah, zero dialing. I don't do that.

I have

Four, cure moderate wounds. Two, that I'm willing to part.

yeah, we should just cast the heal spells and then rest, because you only get 10 hit points.

potions.

resting

Resting.

That's true. Yeah.

10 head points? I'll take that 10 head points.

I get a little bit more.

I can cure somebody with a Cure Moderate Wound spell. Who needs it most?

Well, you just get one hit point per level.

I do.

I'm not fucking fleshing blood, dude.

Do you want to roll it or do you want me to roll it?

You can roll it.

Wait, what was the environment like though? Like what's... It was like a plane? Snow?

Snow.

I believe Jake said snow.

Jake, did you say snow?

And I can take two minutes and set up

another pure light wound spell.

There's a limit to how often you can drink potions, right?

No.

You just down them, check them, check them.

Is there?

It's as fast as you can drink.

I don't know if there is actually.

And these are spells, so it's not a potion.

I was just talking about my portions.

I don't think there is a limit.

So you can just down potion after potion.

So,

So 32 Donnan. And yeah, I think I'm tapped out for my spells for a moment.

Hell yeah.

So I heal for 30. Okay.

I'm also no longer transformed.

So what was that all about?

What was that all about?

Ha.

That's all I say. I just...

What the hell happened?

And go back to my searching in this room.

Yeah, what do you guys do?

I'd like to search this room.

me and donnie would like to go back into the main hall

I'm in the bottom right room of the room we teleported to.

Bottom right room of the room you teleported to. Got it. So you search this room. You find a... In the desk drawer, there is a small brass object that looks like a modified sextant.

Oh, God.

It has seven objects on it, and each one of those objects is like a semicircular bowl. And in the bowl, there's only one of them is filled, and there is a glass, like light blue marble inset into one of them.

Dude, I really want it. I want it. I want to keep it. It's mine. I pick it up.

You have it.

Oh, man.

Into the cloak you go.

So you guys are resting? Are you guys leaving? Are you guys going through? What are you doing?

Me and Donnie would like to get back into the main room.

I'm resting.

Yeah, resting.

But I don't actually need to sleep, so... chilling and kind of staying on guard.

and it kind of plays like,

All right, so you guys go back to the main room.

I want to work on this other room.

There's this other bottom left room, right?

Yeah, and the robot explored that room and memorized the book.

Okay. Cool.

you also going back or are you hopping on a teleporter and going to the special place?

I'm going to also go back and rest.

So you guys just kind of curl up all together here in this room and go to sleep?

Yep.

I'd like to, we should have a watch guys. And I'm honestly like, not,

I am watch. I don't sleep.

Yeah, Jake and I don't have to sleep, so we're just chilling.

We can also just go to the inn or something.

Cool. Then, yeah, I'm going to just pass that.

Which is probably like 10 blocks away.

Okay, so guys, I have a boat.

Not bragging.

We don't have

We don't have to stay at an end, is my point.

Are you waking us up and telling us that you have a boat?

Yeah.

I'm just saying if we wanted to sleep there, if we thought we could get back, you know, we don't have to sleep on the floor here. Up to y'all.

You know, it's just the implication, you guys. You don't have to come aboard.

Wait, what do you mean you have a boat that we can go to right now?

that you have a boat that we could go to right now?

She has a boat.

I mean...

If we go to where water is,

It's in my pocket.

to get out of here.

I mean, we're in the sewer in the middle of a city, so... We got like a city literally 10 steps away.

I mean, where's your boat parked? I'm not trying to sleep in this dungeon.

It's in my pack. It's expandable.

So is there any reason why we shouldn't use it?

I haven't paid mortgage fees with the city.

Gonna fuck ya.

I go back to wrestling.

The illegality was like, oh, no, too much.

Pat, do I know if there's like a church or anything in this town?

enrollment knowledge local.

Are you from this town?

Then, yeah, you're going to have to just kind of... Do you have knowledge local?

we gotta get you guys dealt with your curses. We should probably go up to town before we go in traipsing into other dimensions.

There's

or fall asleep.

I was sick.

So do you guys sleep here?

I'm just going to go to town.

Is that like the plan?

No, yeah, we realize we're cursed still. Like, we need to get rid of our curses, don't we?

The Phoenix painting's like, oh, I thought you guys were going to sleep over...

We begin a lot.

Yeah.

Well, he's sleeping on an electrocuted pad.

I mean, like, so soon?

I'm going to stay here and try to work this forge.

Good idea.

I wouldn't go to town and get healed.

I say, bring me back. Give me the good.

Yep, time to find a medicine van.

I'm going to ask this Phoenix painting if he wants to find a new home.

I've been here for a really long time, and you guys are the first ones to answer my questions three in, like, hell along. So, like, I'll be down to, like, go somewhere new, honestly. Like, all the guys in here, they'll...

Say no more, darling. Say no more.

Imagine going in imagine going into somebody's fucking house and going to use the bathroom this fix is like answer my riddles three Jesus Christ, man

I don't know.

I picked up the... How big is it, Pat? How big is it?

Bzzzap!

It's big, dude. It's like a fucking 10 by 10.

10 by 10? Alright, can someone help me with this?

Who's got the biggest... Yes.

with his painting.

Who's got the biggest bag of holding? We'll find you a good spot on the ship we eventually get.

I guess.

How would I not have a bag of holdings? see how much it was cut.

I have a bag of holding, but you have to make it small enough to fit in the sack, don't you?

Yeah.

I think the bags expand to be able to

10 by 10, 100. Yeah, level four bag of holding, 10,000, 10K. I spend that. I think I have that much, right?

So you're going to go down and buy one?

have a level two at the

No, I already had it because I'm a psychic lady. In fact, do you think I have her purse?

Yeah, he knew he foresaw he was going to need

I retroactively have bought it.

I would argue that makes perfect sense for Clio to have this.

I mean, it would make perfect sense for me to have healing potions, Ozone, but I ain't got any healing potions.

I could carry this thing. I don't need a bag of holding.

Don't you get like a magical disk you can just put on?

Yeah, exactly. Magical disk. Snap. Done. I'm going to go buy a holding.

trade this painting for a bag of holding.

I mean, the painting's probably not going anywhere. Just go get the bag of holes and then come back.

Don't do it.

I have my little floaty thing. Let's put on that.

We are coming back.

Yeah, the whole point is to come back, so...

I was thinking we put it into the boat.

how we will have to carry around.

And then we don't have to come back. Oh.

They boast like a big backpack, basically.

through. Either it keeps us or I keep it.

The witch medicine woman.

which makes a moment.

So I assume Jake and I chill here while they go get curses and bags of holding for paintings?

I've got a bag of holdings.

We should all go. We should all go and we don't need to come back to the painting if the painting is with us. That was the whole idea. The adventure can come with us.

It's the main thing not on this...

So you guys can fit a 10 by 10 painting in the bag of holding?

We don't need to. We have my disk. We use my disk to carry it to the docks, put the painting into the boat, shrink the boat back up, go buy some bags of holding, I don't know, get some parsers removed. Who's first?

So you guys, you go out back into the fucking town.

All right.

Except for whoever stays behind. Who stays behind?

It's cursed though.

I stay behind.

I'll stay with a take.

Not I. I need some healing. Normal healing.

I'm gonna

Oh yeah, I could use some healing too.

Do I know where a curse remover type is?

oh yeah curse remove curse potions easy 750 usually most pharmacies stock them

It's late and none of the stores are open and there's a festival going on.

Ha.

Perfect time to break into a pharmacy, darling.

Wait, wouldn't there just be like side shops? Everybody's trying.

None of these tents have like a witch.

Yeah, but they're trying to sell you food and

Anyone, though, yeah, slinging fucking remove curse potions at the festival? Yeah, good luck.

Dude, that'd be, yeah. I mean, you're at a festival. Did you have the Carnies curse, man?

I'm like an alchemist that can like fruit potions.

should probably ask for a church.

Donnie, just make some fucking potions for me, man. We're fucking running work.

I have spare gold if you need something to create.

I'm wondering if remove curses. I'm going to look and see if I might be able to rest and know how to heal myself in the morning.

I think Donnie needs to just fucking put a scroll in a bottle and just fucking shake it up. Call it good. Blood potion made.

Do it, Donnie.

So I can proportions. Can be portions of any formula I know up to third level. So my formula list is.

I don't know how this is going to affect me.

Do you wanna do your alchemizing from the comfort of a ship?

I got my portable Alchemist lab and I'm sitting here with Jake while he's working in LA on the forge.

And well, I'm going to learn spells from Donovan's alchemist book. Just looking over his shoulder while he's going through those things.

So what we're saying is we should go back to the sewers.

You guys are doing that stuff. We're doing this on our own. Donnie, can you send me a list of your spells?

The third level of lower.

pull up the alchemist list. I don't have spells per se. I have my formulas.

What is like, how is your like known spells or I guess your known formulas?

Because they function a lot like... Like, there are generic bombs you can make and generic things, but there is, like, the spell list of formulas is, like...

know a certain number to start off with and you learn to a level I want to say or something like that

preselected. I thought I could just... choose from it.

don't

I thought it was I could only craft a certain number of extracts per day.

bonus extracts per day if he has high intelligence score in the same way a wizard receives bonus spells per day when an alchemist fixes an extract

So maybe it works differently. I thought there was a known number

Anachemist can utilize spell-tuggered items if the spell-tugger appears on his formula list, but not spell-pletion items.

Creating an extra consumes raw material, but the cost of these materials is insane.

Pardon to introduce doubt and difficulty.

He stores his formulas in a special tome called a formula book. He must refer to this book whenever he prepares an extract.

but not when he consumes it. An alchemist begins play with two first level formula of his choice plus a number of additional formula equal to his intelligence modifier.

At each new alchemist level, he gains one new formula of any level that he can create. An alchemist can also add formula to his book just like a wizard adds spells to his spellbook using the same cost and time requirements.

An alchemist can study a wizard spell book to learn any formula that is equivalent

a spell the spell book contains. A wizard, however, cannot learn spells from a formula book. So I start with 1 plus int modifier.

Ozon, do you know any cure spells?
