Transcript

You were going to put me in that damn mind shaft. I just forget...

Wait, start with how...

Why did I put myself in there?

I don't know.

We just went down a little hole, right?

Yeah.

So we fell down this hole. That was a trap, right?

You went to a spiral staircase.

You went to a spiral staircase that took you down the floor.

Yeah, we went down, popped the skeletons.

Right. And then now you are in...

Yeah, we fought the skeletons.

And then you went through another door and a trap opened up and shot Nutty down an additional floor.

Yeah, and then I jumped down, and then who else jumped down? Do we have anyone else up top?

Maybe two.

Basements on basements. So you jump down the shaft with Nut?

I assume I'm at the top.

Did you jump down the shaft with Nutty?

I did. I think someone else might have as well. But I think we still have someone up top.

I think two people did, yeah.

I just hate to voluntarily go into a trap and get stuck there.

We're like, oh shit, trap it. Let's literally go down into where it was trying to trap us into.

Okay, Nutty, you're in the hole.

Yeah.

Yeah, we saw the gold chest...

I mean, I could write them and like, can I just do a perception check to see what's around me, Patrick?

All that shit.

Let me get my. character sheet out here.

What are you percepting? What are we looking for? Are you down here with us?

Just my environment. Yeah. Well, I'm a...

You see a fucking giant hole.

Who's next to me? Who's around me?

You have no fucking idea. It's a little chaotic.

We killed a servant dude, right? Who was trying to tell us to go somewhere. Did we kill him or did we knock him out?

You guys knock him out.

Well, woo-woo knocked him out.

yeah they get used non-lethal yeah

Ready, chop.

He used less than lethal. We're not allowed to say not lethal anymore.

Can I yell? Can I yell? I'm yelling down the hall. I'm like, are you guys okay? Okay? Okay?

Yeah, we're fine. We're just in a little trap thing. I think there's a gold chest here.

It's about a hundred feet down is what you feel, Nutty. And you hear them screaming.

I hear screaming.

You hear them yelling, too. Yeah, you hear them yelling. They're just 100 feet up.

Holy shit.

wait ozon and stuff is already down there right because we did the athletics check you know zone did to catch somebody

And there's no one around me at Pop.

It's 100 feet down, you said?

How big is the hole, Pat?

holds 100 feet down.

It's 10 feet wide and 20 feet long.

Jesus Christ. Damn it, that sucks. That's a big-ass hole.

Okay, all right.

I'm gonna fill this up.

It gets narrower as you fall, you guys realize. narrows down to five feet like a giant funnel to five by five.

So it gets wider as you try to climb out.

Is there anything around me, the vicinity at the edge of the hole, where I could carve out a message for the people who aren't here right now at the top? And then run down the hole using the acrobatic check?

Why don't you just yell it out to them?

It's a stone...

It's a stone wall.

You can also just yell at them, yeah.

Do you guys need help getting up or is there anything around there or is there like a way to just continue to go forward? Can any of you guys fly?

Someone had rope.

I'm guessing we're locked in here.

Someone had rope.

Yeah, I was just talking about

You guys are in a five foot by five foot cell.

What's outside it's all?

More cells.

Is there anyone in themselves?

Not that you hear at first check. Like, when you look across, you don't hear anybody. Let me.

I didn't bring my rope.

I'm not worried about getting back up. Oh my god, but a natural 20 on perception, though.

Jacques, this is what you see.

Do you see in the cell right across from you? Here's a theater of the mind. Do you see in the cell right across from you a whole pile of money? You see in the cell just to the left of that, there's water and fungus all over the walls, and you see more money. And then you see a faint glow as the water ripples up and down coming from the cell next to that.

What's that thing, Chloe?

Can you see magical glowing? Can you see magic or detect magic?

Somehow, with that perception roll, you think you were able to see magic momentarily.

And these gold piles, they're just like in prison cells? Is that my understanding?

Individual, okay, all right. About how much gold would I estimate?

Like a few, like more than a thousand, less than 10, like a big old fat pile.

all right so you know i want to pick that out that's cool that's cool anyone know how to pick locks wait hold on i know how to pick locks did i try picking the slot

Oh, there's the wall.

Anyone know how to pick locks? Shit, I don't know how to pick locks. I try picking this lock.

I think Jess has a pickpocking kit on her.

I have one.

21 on that lock that we're locked into.

You pop it. Good chunk.

All right, next gold pile.

23.

How many people were down on a cell?

I think me and Nutty and someone else.

Two. Two from where I'm sitting. I'm not down there.

Two? Ah, okay.

Where are your avatars right now? Can you put them right here?

I'm going to move them

That's not me.

That's my lantern.

It's over here, right? That's me.

Um,

all right i got ozone i need one more figurine Right here on Ozone. I'm going to copy and paste them.

Where's that East?

I don't know where Nutty is.

Where is Nettie?

Who is not here?

I'll fucking close my shit.

He's formed.

Carson?

All right.

Honeycon?

Maybe E-A of K or something. I can't see shit.

Maybe I already deleted your token? I need easily accessible tokens that I can just drag off and have placed very nicely without having to worry about vision or all that shit that's already programmed.

Does it not save the vision on the token?

I want to go to a new map.

Can you change it?

Can I change division or light to one?

No. The vision. Like, can you, is there any scale where you can be like, this character has this vision and they're deaf, dumb, and fucking blind? Or can you like set a status of them being blind so they can't see anything?

Your tokens exist as tokens on the map, and then I have to recreate them entirely from scratch or copy them from another map to another one.

Don't you use the token that's associated with their character in the character sheets?

You guys have been generating those tokens and placing them on the map and then I've been moving and copying those ones to duplicate their settings. And I don't see...

you know you can drag those you can drag those onto the

but I want them to hold the vision settings. I don't want to recreate all of the vision settings every single time because it's a bunch of values. It's like low light vision distance, check this box to give them vision in the first place, 30 feet regular seeing tint their vision color when it's dark, like all this bullshit.

Anyway, I'm just going to copy all the tokens over. And then Nelly, can you... Let me see here. What's your character's name? Todd?

All right, Todd. Have your character sheet open. I see your character. Do I just drag the picture of Todd? Is that how that works?

I believe so.

You do not drag, Todd. That just sounds ridiculous.

I think there might be a way to do this with the

Where it remembers it for you, because that does sound hella annoying.

I don't know if there's a difference between the Pathfinder 2 and Pathfinder 1 thing, but this in Pathfinder 2

I'll be it. Hit bio and info. You can...

Edit token properties. Yep, I see it.

There's like a little square pops up.

Yeah, they're talking about property or, yeah.

Yep. Okay. Let's set, I'm going to set this up right now for everybody. what is Todd? You have vision. Do you have full night vision?

I am a human so I can see shit. But I do have a torch.

You have no night vision, but you...

No vision.

Whatever vision that is.

That's about 60 foot of non-magical light.

Damn, I got a high-ass touch AC. That's impressive.

What's your touch, I see?

Nineteen.

That's actually pretty fucking high.

All right, Todd, you should be able to see now.

I cannot.

Scroll out.

I see.

No, your tokens not controlled by you yet. Okay, hold on. Your settings are all whacked out. Okay, so I go to Todd's character sheet, I go to edit, I go to edit token properties, controlled by determined character settings, but let's just go ahead and say Todd.

Represents character Todd.

has vision, probable loss, save settings, save settings. Okay, drag you out. Can you see now?

I can now see.

You can. Okay, excellent.

And do you want to just make it dark for me and then make the torch like you do?

but now I want...

Yeah, where's your torch?

Do you need any torches?

I don't have it. Yeah.

You can create a token for the torch as well.

Yeah, I've got one. I'm just putting them all in a folder now so it makes sense.

and organized.

Good by that. I'm moving them to old characters.

I'm just, I've got current player tokens and old characters.

I can't wait to replay Dr. Boom. Level 16? God damn.

Yeah, dude, I see him right here. There he is.

So, current player tokens. I've got... Where the fuck is Todd?

Alphabetical fucking order?

Jacques, you need to go into New York. characters.

to make this way easier.

Kurt Furbane.

Next up, I got Jacques, I got Todd. I'm looking for... Woo-woo.

Got that one. Now we're looking for Alhambra.

Lump.

Got him.

Umbra, Todd. Jacques, Todd, Wu, and Brunson.

That's it. And then Donnie. It's Donnie's character's name.

I am not sure.

Raven? Raven?

Raven.

And then you also have sex monkey.

I'm the Staxman.

Oh, I see a sex monkey.

20 on the reflex.

Wizzy? No.

Is it Wizzy?

No, Raven.

Is it Jace? I don't see a raven.

It's not Jace.

Okay, that is so much easier to look at. Holy fuck.

Next up, Visions. Copy your settings. You have Vision Ozone. You have...

They know it's human.

Lobel, you're as a human.

This is first.

Now make your settings just like I did. NetEase, edit token properties, dramatic lighting, vision. You emit just a little bit of light so you can see where you are.

Damn, how do I edit my icon? I don't give it to you, do I?

think so.

Can you still see?

Yep, I think so. Yep.

Okay, next is woo-woo.

Where's your current token, WooWoo?

I think I am the black dude right next to the funky wizard dude holding a lantern.

Just go.

In the hallway.

Right here. okay well I've got your you want this token this is your monkey dude

You have vision and you can see 30 feet in low light.

Well, I mean, I can technically see twice as far as a human in dim light.

It's a yellow light vision.

Oh shit, that's right.

You can see 30 feet in darkness.

I have low light vision. I don't know if I can see in complete darkness or not.

But I should have blind fight, so...

I don't. Fuck. What am I doing?

We saw her as green.

You trying to make a complete darkness circle? You're a smart little man. I see you craft yourself.

It's hard, man. I've got to figure out how to make it work. Yeah.

I see what you're trying to do. I think that's the way to do it. Just have it in a circle around her and just use her as kind of a fucking...

So we can enter a room and be like, hold on, you can only see this motherfucker.

Yours is just going to be like Dark Vision. It's just not as good.

What kind of darkness is it? It's magical. Okay. All right. I give.

And then you can, when there's a light, you can actually see the appropriate color, right?

There's a light in here, so you should be able to see it there.

We'll just do his settings real quick. It has darkvision 60.

That's right. I bodied that guy. Yeah, I took his lantern.

Not only though.

Todd's down there. Jacques is down there. And you're staying up there or are you going down there, Jake?

I mean, I can see them from here. They look fine. They look like they're going to have to get themselves out. I do a running start and I try to hop over the fucking hole.

With the lantern.

So get a running start.

I owe me an acrobatics check.

You have to roll a 18 or higher.

Just as you jump the 20-foot gap, no, 20-foot gap, you fucking can't, you realize in the middle of the area you can't jump 20 feet, and you fucking almost hit, you get the edges of the dirt, you grab all the roots and stuff that have been coming out and growing in here, and you fall down the 100-foot shaft.

And it's not a direct shaft. You realize that it's a very steep slope. So you're sliding down and you get all the way to the bottom and you take, roll me an acrobatics check to land and not take damage.

I've rolled so low.

can i try can i help him out since do i hear i hear him coming

You take two damage. That was a pretty good acrobatics trick.

Thank you, Dash.

I can't cushion him.

You could try to cushion him. With all that said, you take two damage.

That's fine. I was a little rusty. I should have stretched first.

A monkey comes crashing down, but

Oh, what about that, Pat? What about that? What about that? You take that two damage back right now.

That was not an acrobatics check for that. That would be a reflex save.

Hey, that would.

But what if you try some acrobatics?

Should have saved that for your role to get out.

Well, I just get out of Jake's way. I don't want to fucking thaw on me.

So you do a... So that natural 20 that you got, the acrobatics, so you're down there, you –

Do you want to do any... What are you trying to do down there? You see Jake crashing down, what do you see? What do you do with the acrobatics? You acrobatically...

I just get out of his way.

You backflip out of his way, dude.

And he comes down and takes two damage and lands. And it's fucking a hundred foot fall down a super slick slope. There's lichen and moss. Surprised he didn't take more.

It's fine. Yeah.

I rolled a three and a five to get to 18. I should have had that a mile away. That was just bad luck. I'll take two damage for that bad luck.

Well, now to get back up out of here. Can I use an acrobatics check to run in a circle?

Yes, it can.

To start running as fast as I possibly could back up the damn thing.

It's a five foot area.

I thought you'd say I popped it open.

So a door has been popped open.

I also did 23 on the door with the gold.

And then who brought a, who had a lantern? Someone have a lantern?

Nobody has a letter.

Have a torch.

Torch. Let me get a torch going here.

Did you leave your lantern up top or did you bring it down with you, JB?

It fell down with me.

It's the only thing I have in this life is that lantern that would never leave me behind.

Is my lantern brighter than a storage?

I think they're the same.

All right, there we go. There's a torch. There you are. Pop the lock in the other... So, And it's open now.

I think you guys can actually see.

Lead the way, Ozan.

Is this the gold one or which one's the gold one? Where'd it go at? This one?

the cell directly across from you. Yeah. So you're, so you,

All right, 23 on disable device there.

on the yep and that pops open roll me a reflex save

Oh, shit.

I am still in the room.

Bye, Suey.

You take half damage. The bars shoot electricity through them, through your tools, hit you, For...

Half of this damage...

You take 10 damage, and then I need a reflex save. Everyone around you automatically succeeds your reflex save because you're all standing in shallow water and the electricity hits everyone who's not floating in the middle of the air, but you automatically succeed your reflex save, so everyone takes 10 damage. And the gate opens.

What about if I have Dodge?

you automatically succeed your reflex save.

What if I have rubber booties on?

Do you have any ability that lets you not have to make a reflex save?

How much is it going, Pat?

630.

That doesn't sound like a thousand.

You thought it was like a thousand. And it's 630 pieces.

And it looked like 1,000, but it's 630 pieces.

especially being electrified.

There's a lot of silver there too.

And you find 4,960 silver.

And 630 gold.

That's a good chunk of change.

I'm just going to pop the rest of these open. I don't know if you guys have any other ideas.

Well, I immediately jump up and get out of the water.

Yeah, same.

I mean, come on, guys. We're not going to get electrocuted again.

I'm not using any potions on you if we do.

Where do you... Where are you jumping?

And hugging the wall.

Right here.

Is there nothing to stand on?

Roll me acrobatics check.

This is shallow water in prison cells.

What about the chest those I just opened up? Was it a chest?

Yeah, you were like stuck to the wall. I need an acrobatics check from you too, Todd, if you're going to be clinging to the wall.

was it a chest that Ozan opened up?

That was a door.

It was just piles of money under the water.

I am going to lean my shield up against the corner here, and I'm going to stand on it.

It's metal, but it's going to take less damage than this. Rubber?

I tell you guys you're paranoid.

I think you guys are paranoid, and I checked for traps on the other doors with Perception 26.

Which one, this one or this one?

Do I have to roll one for each? Alright, I'll do the one with the magic one first.

You see magic down here in this one, right?

like way down.

You see the magic right here in this one.

Can I use...

I go with check magic there, yeah.

I use my seeds of many garments and I put on a rubber stew.

any traps on that door?

On this one right here, you go down there.

who you're standing here now.

Check for traps.

Roll new perception.

That was the 26th.

26, all right. I don't see all the rules. So for a 26, you see that it is trapped. There is a similar mechanism that like when you were looking into the lock before that triggered something you see the same damn thing here

a disabled device, 15.

It triggers the trap. Poison gas comes out of a hole here and a hole here and starts filling the room. There is gas filling the room. What do you do?

I guess run out of it.

Where do you go?

Roll me a fortitude save.

21. Succeed.

Oh, well, it just smells like stinky, wait, am I okay breathing it in now? Is that the case?

What are you guys doing?

It's poison, right?

No, one round has gone. And now Todd and Monkey, what are you doing? Nope, you're still down there. You're right. You're right there in front of the poison. Okay. Now, what are you doing, Todd? And what are you doing, Woo-Woo?

I hold my hands by my knee and telling everybody that the room is filling up with poison so this is the last chance to get the fuck out of here. And I'm waiting to lift people up out of the hole so they can start climbing.

Is Ozan still in the poison? Is he in the poison?

Todd, what are you doing?

Yeah, he is a poison.

Yeah, we're doing turn by turn since every round it matters.

Yeah, I'm...

Uh...

I'm going to throw my torch right

I'll be fine. Don't worry about it. I'll be out there.

Well, I'm going to see if it's flammable gas, I can maybe ignite it.

Yeah, I mean, maybe after I get out of it, though.

Good call.

I'm going to throw... Wait, I can't throw my torch because it's covered in water over here.

I'll run in action to throw my torch at the poison when Ozone gets clear of it. That'll be my turn.

Okay, ready to action. Ozone. Oh, gas expands five feet in all directions. What do you do?

I run out of his range as I throw it.

Sweet. It is absolutely flammable gas, and it is getting extremely hot in here, and that gas fucking just bursts into flames.

but none of that heat hits you guys yet. It's just really fucking bright and hot down there and I'm going to actually change the lighting on this because this thing emits bright light.

Monkey God, what are you doing? Woo.

All right, I immediately... Let me read something real quick.

The flames are super hot down there, and it's pouring out more gas from the piping, and the flames are not dying down.

I use...

I use three points for my pool and go into my empty body. Basically, I go into the ethereal realm, you know, just on the outside of it for a minute.

So you have gone ethereal.

So you're in the Ethereum plane. All right, tight.

And then I run past all this stuff.

When you're looking at those flames from the ethereal plane, it's like... kind of

Echoey, shadowy, weird figments of what you'd normally see.

It's like a negative of fire. Awesome.

It's, yeah, it's like a negative, yeah.

Jacques, what are you doing?

Well fellas, didn't quite expect this elaborate of a trap in a prison spell.

Yeah, no more traps. Paranoids that...

I think

We went from a little shock to end this poison.

Yes.

Let's see, the hole that we climbed up out of, or climbed into or fell down it seemed like was she able to climb up pat

It's like an extremely slick, moss, slime-covered, very steep angle. Yeah, totally. It seems like totally rope country.

What if someone threw down a rope?

We don't have anyone up there though.

We have three people up there.

Not with us at the moment.

They seem to have, like, you're yelling up to them. If you're yelling up to them, they're not responding. Like, they might have wandered off or something.

For whatever reason, they are not responding.

I end my turn.

Maybe something happened to them.

What are you doing, Jack?

I end my turn.

What are you doing, Todd?

Uh...

Checking to see what's in my adventures kit.

I got 50 feet of rope. Wait, is that a 100 foot drop?

100-foot drop there, nut.

That is so far down. It is crazy. That is crazy. That is one third the Statue of Liberty.

Oh my God, we're going to have to walk up 100 feet now.

Or run.

How are we going to walk? What do you mean? Walk up the hole? Oh, the door is covered in fire right there.

eventually, in order to get to anywhere we have to walk up if we survive. So hopefully we die here.

We don't have to deal with that.

Man, dude. As you can tell, I can run through fire. I'm going to be okay.

I end my turn. I have nothing I can do.

The flames are not expanding as rapidly. but they are still expanding a little.

Woo-woo, did you go down there into the range of the fire?

All right. Because you're ethereal. That's right.

All right, woo-woo, you're done.

I want to go past it.

Into this hallway

Can you walk through doors in the ethereal plane?

I don't think I can.

Yes. If you have the ability to go ethereal, you can utilize it to walk through walls, spy on someone, or escape a deadly battle. You may walk through walls for one minute.

Wait, grab all the... Oh, you can't grab stuff. Never mind.

I'll go back and get it. I just got to get out of the poisonous fire cloud.

I'm trying to see if there's any like knobs.

I can't bring any of you guys with me either.

It's fine. Don't worry about this. We'll be fine.

I mean, be a little worried about us.

I will. I am.

I'm like, well, that was crazy. I hope they got it all right. They're fine. They're fine. They're fine.

Alright, the flames have just now, like, it's about the force of the gas that's coming out of the pipes is kicking out a ton of flames, but it's not enough to fill up the room, it's just enough to create fire in the middle of the hallway like that. That's about how much gas is coming out of the pipes.

Isolated.

You guys, it's getting a little smoky. It's a little hard to breathe because a lot of the oxygen is being used up down here. And you find that it's actually easier to breathe underneath the 100-foot shaft because it's pulling air. You feel a breeze as it's consuming and pulling air from there.

I say...

All right, I go there and try to wait out his poison supply, I guess.

Surely he'll get help.

I mean, who's going to deal with plumbing issues in the middle of the night right now? You know?

Bro, don't do that. I used to do that. Don't do that.

All right, what do you do, woo? You notice the door behind you, even in the ethereal range,

I was going to say, do I see anything under it, or is it sealed?

It's a metal door. You see bright light coming from underneath it. And you have low light vision, which gives you the ability to see a little bit right now. And you can see a little bit of light coming from beneath it. But the door itself, you don't see it going super red.

Oh, sick. I'm looking through the door hinge.

Yeah. But you do notice that it is changing color, the door.

It's getting hotter.

Well, what did you say? I have like two more turns left on this shit?

Yeah, you've got about, let's see, everyone did about four actions. A minute is ten, so you can do about four or five more moves before you switch out of a serial. 30-foot moves.

Alright, I want to go through this door then.

Go through that door.

You have two more moves?

Okay. I know, I know. I'm doing them right now because I'm checking all the corners.

And I know there's a spiral staircase behind me. So...

Oh, shit.

That's it.

you pop out of ethereal

And I pop out with Ariel. Okay, turn.

and you notice that the door is emitting a lot of it's getting red fucking hot and it is emitting light at this point

Enough for you to be able to see a dim glow coming off of it. Todd, Jock, what are you guys doing?

I hold jock. I have fear. I can't. I can't breathe. This is it for us. I never thought I'd go down like this.

It's okay.

Fire was a bad choice.

It's okay. I know these kind of fellas. They go cheap on their contractors. There's probably not enough supply to last out. More than 20 minutes, I say.

And he goes for another bar shake. He's like, these guys are whack as fuck. Dude, they can't even pay their contractors, bro. I'm going to open up another trap. Please stop doing this.

I don't know.

Fuck.

Roll me a fortitude save for smoke inhalation and oxygen deprivation.

Damn, we should have sent Richard first. He can fly. He's an android. He doesn't have to breathe.

I'm going to look up status effects. This is a weird one.

There's got to be a status effect for this. Conditions.

Asphyxiation.

Drowning.

Technically.

We're not being technical here though, Jake.

You are now drowsy.

Yeah, maybe I'll take a little nap later. Wait, who's Drowsy? Both of us or just me?

I just...

You take a penalty just to you, and you take a penalty on all ability checks and skill checks, initiative checks, concentration checks, reflex saves, and will saves. You are mildly drowsy. It's a negative two on all of them, and you're getting a little lightheaded.

I understand my sentence, sir.

What are you doing? Those guys are just hugging each other. Getting sleepy.

Oh, fucking Christ. I'm looking for my character sheet. Let me see.

Well. Look who we have, shooter.

The hell?

Do you notice that giant flume of smoke coming out of that hole?

Hell.

What? We're in a hole?

No, we are. You're outside of it.

I mean...

shit. I,

I drop rope down.

You have a hundred feet by chance.

I do have 100 feet of rope. I have exactly 100 feet of rope.

What do you tie it to?

I think that exactly works.

To you.

I take out one of my kunai, which act as a piton, and I hammer it into the wall. Or actually into the floor.

How thick is this piton?

Hold on, let me look up the definition of P-time before I reply.

Go check out a fucking The Kunai. So,

I asked you how thick it was.

A few inches.

Oh, it's a huge thing. He got a hammer.

Forage.

Roll me a survival...

We dying down here, Rich. We dying.

We had to come all the way out from the long distance yonder. I'm sure you understand long distance travels. Terrible.

Where were you coming from?

Just pure olive.

Yeah, I'll help them.

It's terrible. No, we caught a ride, but, you know, travels have to wait for travels to happen.

We all saw that.

Did we?

What's that, D24?

What are you doing?

What did we see? What did we see?

All right.

I'm trying to wait to get the fuck out of here because I saw something.

What did you see? Can you just talk to us, yell at us?

No, I'm not next to you, dude. I'm not going to spoil the surprise.

Yeah, you don't fucking know. This dude went ethereal and got the fuck out. That's all you saw.

I saw a man who were like, please don't open any more traps. And then he opened traps, so gas filled the room. And then Nettie's like, I think it's flannable. And then threw his fucking torch into it. And bet your dick it caught on fire. The whole fucking room caught on fire. Nobody asked. The only thing I did on my turn was jump and try to hug the wall because I was electrocuted. That's it.

If it was flammable, wouldn't it just have like a burst damage and then the flames would just be wherever it was initially coming out of? It would just be little flares on the walls or something after like the explosion?

Funny thing about gas, it fills the volume of whatever container it's in.

That's kind of what it's doing.

I don't know how to...

I know, and that's why you had the first explosion. And then what happened?

And then I went ethereal and walked through the door. I said, I'm not fucking around with that. And then I kind of walked through a couple doors.

I'm coming into a situation I didn't know what to do with it. Fucking survival.

All right, Rich, you got a survival check? 13. All right. Tone is in the ground. The rope is attached to the baton.

is now I throw the rope down the tunnel so that they can climb up.

A rope dangles next to you guys at the bottom. Roll me a fortitude save, both of you, before you touch that rope. Because time has passed since then.

You feel a lot of warm, hot air coming up.

Oh, I take a roll?

You are moderately drowsy. You're taking negative four on all your rolls.

Wait, why am I drowsy?

Negative four on nine then.

What?

I think is like 15.

Dude, being immune to sleep is going to be really fucking handy in this one.

And now... Now roll me a climb, both of you.

I'll wave Rose on to get it there.

23.

Jock, you climb right up that rope.

dude I've got a hard zero on my climb

And as you're climbing up that rope,

Todd, you're having trouble, man. Todd, somehow some lichen and moss got stuck to the rope, and it's kind of getting really slick. And you keep sliding off that rope. You're not having a very good time.

Jack, you're halfway up the rope. The moment Todd grabs the rope, it puts strain on the baton, and I have to roll for it to see how it does. Higher is better.

I said I was waiting for Ozon to get up there. I said I was waiting for Ozon to get up there.

And the rope comes down.

Yeah. Ready, send it.

Yeah, well, I rolled a five on the piton.

And also, I mean, Rich, are you helping us up as well?

What's up?

You're helping us up as well, right?

I know you guys want the rope to not fall, but the rope fell.

The rope fell.

Yeah, the rope absolutely fell.

Just on my way.

absolutely fell because of a low survival check to place the rope and then a five on the piton strength and the rope and the baton came out of the stone. Romeo acrobatics.

I mean, what's Richard's character? Would he not be able to support my weight?

Roll me acrobatics, Jock.

as you go back down into the cell.

What race is Zarthax?

Android?

Android? How much weight can you carry?

At this point, it already fell. I can't really help you from up here. You took all my rope.

You fly down there, Richard.

It's the same room we were in when we left off.

I do kind of disagree that he would not have like he would just be like oh I guess there goes the roof but it's a 29 acrobatics

Only a reflex save.

I also have rope.

69 reflex.

Romy reflex save, Xarthex.

All right, with a 17, you have the opportunity to try to grab the rope, do you?

No, just let go.

You get pulled in with us.

It's okay. I did 29 on acrobatics.

I do. You heard me.

You grab the rope. Roll me a CMB.

against a 24-0.

You have weight on a rope that's pulling and going down.

17. Not good enough.

you are unable to stabilize the rope as it's falling.

Hey Pat, can I look through this keyhole and see what the fuck's going on? Or like I said, roll of perception.

Yeah, you look through the keyhole and you see a shit ton of fire still. Jacques, you land perfectly and take zero damage.

That's probably about right.

Can you guys bring my room back up with you when you come up?

The rope comes down.

Yeah, we'll see you in a little bit.

Get some tea ready.

if you're going to come up here.

Fortitude save, both you guys.

It is fucking hot in here.

13.

different levels, so we're on the bottom level right now.

I can cast fly and just come fucking get you guys if you want me to.

Yeah.

I cast fly. Fly down there. And I go pick him up. And I grab my rope and my kunai as well.

All right, you cast Fly. You go down there.

we're getting flown up.

How long does your fly last?

One minute per level. So five minutes.

All right, you fly down. It is hot as fuck. It's slick. It's wet. It's steamy. It's nasty. And you are right there.

grab my fucking rope and I grab my kunai and then I grab one of them.

All right, what are you doing while this is happening?

I immediately, I just get quiet in the corner, and I just start listening and having my hands on the stone. I'm just in the corner stealthing, and I'm watching to see if the fire just dissipates.

The stone is ridiculously hot and the door is ridiculously hot. It's glowing red, emitting light, and the stone around it is too hot to touch. Like right where you're standing is ridiculously hot. We're only a fortitude save. It's that hot.

Is this just an oven and Jake's gonna die in there?

Okay. Make sure you can get out of there.

You are drowsy. You take negative two on all rolls.

that hot.

It is that hot. It's that fucked up. It's making you fucking exhausted.

Yell out for Woo. You want to fly up too?

It's also burning poisonous gas.

No.

Ah, damn it. I would have made that jump.

Is there any way I could... Fuck, I'm going to have to, yeah. I'm going to have to wall... I kind of want to, like, jump over here as stealthily as I possibly can. Do a nice little tumble roll.

I'll be acrobatics.

plus two so 19.

You tumble over.

What are you guys doing guys in the NFL? Everyone needs a real me and 40% that's in there.

I'm assuming I'm only staying for a moment. I left immediately after grabbing somebody.

Yeah, it's really, there's almost no air down here. It's poisonous gas that is flaming. It's just, it stinks, it reeks, it's nasty.

You feel fantastic, Todd.

I don't.

All right, so you've got vision. Jess, do you have night vision?

I have dark vision.

Dark vision? Yes.

I hear you twice. DarkVision, 60 feet?

Perfect vision up to 120 feet.

120 feet dark vision.

It's superior dark vision, quote unquote.

How's the 17 do on that fort save?

Do you have a plus stuff because you're. You're 40% Dolomite.

but I am immune to getting sleepy.

Nice.

Hey, you don't even breathe, do you?

Success.

one more Fortitude save from... Jacques, and then you guys are lifting out. Who are you lifting first?

Can I viably lift them both? I'm trying to think. Probably not. So...

Six.

He is looking pretty bad.

I'm going to carry Jacques out.

He's not taking well the flaming poison.

Shock first. I'll come back for Todd.

All right, so how fast do you fly?

All speed.

Jacques, you're up top.

Todd, do you do anything while you're waiting for your turn?

Will, do you do anything while Todd is not doing anything?

Shoot. Yeah, I mean, I want to kind of get the fuck out of here as well and get back to the old team.

So I will go Ethril again and go through that door or go up the stairs. Do you want to do that turn thing again or what's up?

You go F-roll, and you go up these stairs over...

to my right

Over here.

28.

So you're Ethril, you're going up the stairs, and those stairs spiral for quite some time. And you get about... I mean, what's your move after going Ethril?

My move is 30. So

So that's your move right there, pretty much. That's rolling 5, 10, 15, 20. Yeah. All right. And then, Todd, do you get lifted to safety?

Yes.

were lifted to safety.

Todd is safe.

We did it. We fucking did it.

God bless you.

We still got a man down there, goddammit.

Ha.

Oh, fuck. Oh, shit. We split the party hard.

Why'd you go down there alone?

I tried to jump over the hole. I should have made it too.

Like I said, I fell down and then Ozon shocked me and then lit the whole room on fire.

I didn't shock you. Whoever owned this place shocked you.

No. Just no.

staircase down the hall from this hole.

to get back as fast as possible. I'm taking the stairs, though.

So your monkey is not technically here, but I'm leaving him here for a second while I figure out where the fuck you are.

That's fine.

What do you guys do?

I'm gonna fly over here and investigate to see if there's anything I see. Oh, that's a big-ass staircase.

And you keep walking up the spiral stairs, Woo-Woo?

Yeah.

Are you running up them or walking up them?

I want to... Shit.

Jack.

Is there any way I could...

Rip off. just like a little piece of like my tunic that I got or like my, yeah, no, on the bottom of my bottom of my pants, I would say like the little cuff. I want to leave that. I want to leave that cuff right there. And then,

use a little bit of the blood from when I got electrocuted in my mouth, or I want to chew or make some blood and dab it and then throw it at the door.

You can bite your tongue. You want to bite your tongue?

Bite your tongue.

Take a point of damage. You drop blood.

Be like that.

You want to drop all you take damage. One.

It sounds fair.

Bites to the tongue is enough to kill my character.

I mean, I can make myself bleed without feeling pain right now, though. So just saying.

Take your point, Hamer.

Like how much blood you want.

Then I run up the surface.

five miles of time and you're fucking done.

Enough to soak up the thing that I rocked.

All right, so he's... He's running up the stairs. The stairs are fucking long. There's a lot of fucking stairs. What are you guys doing?

I don't know. Things have been pretty hairy. Probably follow someone. Stay in a group. I'm going to follow Rich.

Same.

pop out another torch.

Ha.

You got 99? How many of these?

It should have four, I believe. Four left.

It'd be fucking great.

How much actually occurred before we arrived? Would I be aware of how much? So we just got up there for like five minutes or ten minutes and then the shit just went down.

A lot.

We all fell down the fucking hole, man.

Ha.

Without a thousand gold.

Yeah, he did.

a magical item but we didn't get the magic item

There is a magic item down there, yeah.

Thank you so much.

Somewhere.

Anyways, yeah, let's just wait out the smoke and go down there and get the item.

Alright, so those guys are talking about waiting out smoke and stuff like that. And you reached the top of the stairs, woo-woo. And you're going to love this. You're at the top of the stairs.

Ha. Nice. Hey, dude.

I put my finger over my lips and I give him a shush.

You see the pit, you see the hole, you see the whole trap from the other side that you try to jump, you see all of it.

Yeah, I give him the shizzes, and then I run over to the other side of the hole, and I whisper what I thought I saw when I was down there when I was in that hole. I was like, okay, so on the other side of that door, that, hey guys, on the other side of that door,

My God, you made it. I thought we lost you.

So, yeah, hi. All right. I'm good. I'm good. But on the other side of that door, there is a room that looks exactly like this one. So there's probably like a hole on the other side because there's a room exactly like the one we dropped in. And in the middle of that, I kind of went like two steps. And what I went, I went into what appeared to be a throne room. So, like, I took a couple steps, I saw two giant chairs, and then I turned around and I saw a couple more chairs, and they looked really nice. They were fancy.

How giant were the Chuggers?

How giant were the chairs?

It was a his and hers looking upon subjects chair setting down there. Is what is...

Are these L-size category chairs?

Big L. Yes. In common.

This is L. Stanford Larkin.

But not an old English T, and those are the crazy ones you want to look out for. That is Emperor's groove shit.

investigate that.

I think that's where the count is. I think that's where him and his lady are just waiting.

Everyone roaming Perception.

I'm trying to be quiet as I yell this.

As I'm yelling, I try to be quiet.

Ha.

Xarthax hears nothing.

You know what I mean, goddammit.

Jacques hears marching and howling. Todd hears nothing, Alumber hears nothing, and Lulu hears nothing. You swear you hear howling and marching, Jacques.

There's howling and marching. Where's it coming from?

It sounds like it's coming from above you. Like the floor above you.

There's Helen coming from upstairs.

You want to take a ride in the pit?

When I say marching, it sounds like a lot of voices. And it sounds like a lot of voices stepping. like troops or like many individuals.

I think he called them the troops.

So be it.

Oh, they're coming from up above us. Right?

I could see if they could chase me and I could jump over this hole and we could drop them all down there.

We can do an old classic bait and switch.

A bottleneck does sound pretty like a good strategy. Yeah.

Pretty nice, right?

But there's only this...

I know that fire down there is real as fuck.

Traps are cheap and easy to install. You gotta pay for all those fucking soldiers.

Dude, no, man. Nothing's easy to install.

How fast is Richard can fly 60 feet per second, though?

Should I go fly up those stairs and see?

Well, I guess up these stairs, I'm like covering by right now. Or there are different stairs that should be going up.

your call i try to make a running jump or i jump over the pit

You can ask for a flyover.

I asked for a flyover.

Shit, I think you're on our side.

I guess I'm going to go check up these stairs.

And all that good fun.

stealthily fly up these stairs.

You fly up those stairs stealthily.

That's right.

When you get to the top of those stairs, they lead...

Terrible. Two more stairs!

Oh, damn it.

working together with my other foe, gravity.

Leads you to a small room. Xarthax dim light filters in through dust caked windows. You see a large heavy table in the center of this little room covered with dust. A thick book lies open on the desk with an inkwell and quill next to it. A broken door on the north wall. A staircase into total darkness that you just walked up. Each side of the staircase, a skeleton in bright armor stands sagging, attention holding a rusty halberd. One of them is tumbled onto the floor, and another of them is up into an armor holder. and is very shiny for relative to the other stuff in here. There's no dust on that suit. There's a door in the east wall next to the windows.

and internal skeletons.

This looks like a servant's entrance.

Those things are definitely going to come alive the moment I touch that fucking book. Detect magic.

The armor is very magic.

the skeleton's magic as well.

Kill us anyways. It's the book magic.

The book is not magic.

want that book anyways because that dude's Journal.

I don't want to do this alone. Who's coming with me? Who's coming with me, man?

I got you.

Yes, all right, I'll go on.

Do you yell that down the stairs?

I whisper it.

Yeah.

When you whisper who's coming with me, The armor speaks to you.

I got your back, bro.

and says

I'll go with you.

Where are you going?

What's up, dude?

This guy cool.

The armor whispers back and says, where are you going?

Don't talk to strangers. Lie down the staircase to my homies.

Ha.

you fly down your homies you're there what are you doing moving on

As he passes me, I try to grab him. I was like, what the fuck, dude? Like, did you see anything? Is the coast clear?

Skeletons in armor.

Oh, shit.

No. So you just say no that time.

They've got big swords.

Ha.

I will ambush down here, man. Or we go down and fight the fucking Dracula.

I don't think he's going to... I don't think that's how it works. I think he's going to make us fight in that room. I don't think he's coming out to get us.

Exactly.

Dude's on guard duty.

Oh, well, we should go get him quickly because there's soldiers upstairs, I think.

But what's

want to go fight this guy then

Maybe he's friendly.

Yeah, we haven't tried diplomacy yet.

You're right. I did shut down communication pretty quick.

You did. And I've

Maybe he'll tell us and why we've been invited to a soiree that is not happening.

All right. All we want is an answer.

What are you guys doing?

and you cautiously back up the stairs to have a conversation with the skeleton.

So you go back upstairs?

Yeah.

Who goes first? What's your marching order?

I go first.

31st. Yeah, you're the one with two shields, bro. If you're not going first, I don't know who is.

Thanks, guys.

You're in the 282 AC. I can lead in there with you.

I'll go after him.

How tall are the ceilings?

No, I'll go second.

Oh, I mean...

Like enough room for me to just go over him.

Yeah, can Richard be like on my shoulders?

Yes, definitely. These staircases have an extremely tall ceiling.

I'll just go in over whoever else is going in first.

And we want to go up, not down. Because down is where he is.

Up's where the skellies are.

So you're going back up

Or I think. I haven't seen him. Like I said, I was in the Ethereal plane. So he technically wasn't on the Material plane.

But there's something in that fucking room.

So you go up towards the armor and the skeletons.

You start going up there The first thing that you notice our facts is that the armor is no longer where it was when you left

I suspect it as much. How much closer to the entrance of the doorway is it?

Realme perception.

13.

You don't see the armor.

Interesting.

gone.

Everyone else who's walking up here can roll perception as well. Everyone else sees what he just saw, except for that armor. They see... Let me know what your roles are they come in because I'm reading something

17.

19.

You see dust cake windows. You see a large heavy table in the center. You see everything coated with thick dust. You see a thick book lying open with an

20 or 12.

inkwell next to it you see a broken door in the north wall and you see bright armor well you don't see bright armor you see rusty armor sagging with a rusty halberd and then you see with the 19 and the 20 you see a bright and shiny suit of armor to the right in the rear of the room standing looking down the staircase and basically standing to attention and the armor is just kind of standing there just looking at you and it looks like this i'm going to send it in the chat

Immediately

No codpiece, dude. Or is that a place to attach a codpiece? Because it's fucking hilarious.

Good God. Dude, this armor's weak as fuck, dude. It's cock-peatless. Shit.

It's called Peaceless.

I'm going to ask you guys a question. Do you have any pets with you? Like any animals, pets, familiars, anything that looks like a pet?

Negatory.

No.

Oh, he sounded sad. He sounded like he wanted to do something, but he couldn't.

I mean, they're...

So immediately the armor looks at you and says... Where are you guys going?

No, dude, don't trust that shit. Sense motive.

to a soiree.

What is this skeleton up to?

You didn't see a skeleton in this one.

Shit.

Oh, it's just the armor?

It's just a suit of armor.

I say, We came here to speak to the Count, our business is our own, and then I fucking, I punched the armor.

As you punch the armor, the

I try to sunder that shit.

As you punch the armor, roll me to hit.

And then roll your Sunder?

sundar is a i think a c it's a combat maneuver

You do not break it. However, you do punch the breastplate completely out of the rest of the armor, and all of the armor collapses on the floor.

Crash! Clang! Blam!

I do like that hover hands thing where I'm like, oh, no, shit, oh, shit.

Oh, yeah,

You still good in their armor, dude?

all of the pieces start rattling and they start coming back and they assemble back together. And he's just sitting on the ground, looking down, like sitting on his like armor aft. And then he like looks up at you guys and goes, that wasn't cool. That wasn't cool at all.

Oh, dude, I'm sorry, Spirit Armor.

It's really creepy in here. We thought you were going to attack us. You know.

We've been on edge since we got here, dude. I'm sorry.

I've been here for a really long time. I've just been here forever.

What are you doing here?

I'm just kind of hanging out.

What are you doing?

Nothing really.

Mind if we...

That's basically it. I've just been chilling in various rooms for a long time. And now I'm just in this one. It's kind of what I do.

Who moves you?

You don't move yourself, do you? Doc.

I mean, I move myself. Yeah. And he gets back up and stands up.

When is your cigarette break?

I mean, I don't have lungs, but I want to smell. I don't know.

He didn't actually say. He's like, guard dude. He just hangs

What,

Do you know where the count is? I don't mean to bug you.

with diplomacy.

I have no idea what's going on inside this place.

Okay. How long have you been here, though? Who was the last person besides us that you see? Have you seen?
