Corey (DM)We needed someone to play Sage, and so we thought, who could we call?You awaken in the grove a little ways from the wizards union hall.And it's been a few days since you arrived here waiting for Sage.
Hana (Sage)What's up, kids?
Corey (DM)As you're all starting to head south, before you even get out of the grove, you notice there's like a bunch of bushes as you're making your way out, and they're starting to, like, shake a little bit.And then out steps a man in, like, a cloak.
Corey (DM)Yeah, you weskawy people.
Corey (DM)So you take off running and you all just notice Eloise is just dead sprint.You toss that gong down, you hop on it, and you immediately hit that wall.The pressure he's putting is perfect.Where he starts riding up at an angle.
Lauren (EZ)Ye.
Hana (Sage)Bing.
Corey (DM)Now entering the nomolies.And he's like.And like this look of just like on his face.

Hana (Sage)Get out of here, guys.Yeah, we need to leave.We need to get out of here.
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.So we turn around and run.
Corey (DM)You see this massive form, like, floating through the water, and then you see coming out of its blow hole, this giant well just shooting water.Everybody try to get puked on.
Lauren (EZ)Wait, what?Huh?

Nathan (Stump)Yeah, can we have, like, two jokes.
Corey (DM)We made last episode where I have.
Nathan (Stump)To, like, spend money every time I. I make a pun?
Corey (DM)Sin, you just hear dings going through this whole episode.Yeah.Okay, so where we last left off, you all made your way to the Rufioga Isles.You eventually got there.Eloi decided to ride the wave.That was pretty tubular.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Frankly, pretty cool.And then you all found a town that you, you know, may or may not have given away your position to the dmv.
Nathan (Stump)I don't think we would do that.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah, I think we should check the.
Nathan (Stump)Episode to see if that's true.
Lauren (EZ)I think we should change our rings.
Hana (Sage)Just.
Corey (DM)You all did.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, we did?
Corey (DM)Yeah.Last episode, you did.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, Whoops.Good job, everybody.
Corey (DM)Yes, everybody has new rings on.You're assuming they're not related to the dmv, but the ones that you did have did have little, like, you know, it's like your little scanning id.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, yeah, I ditched them in the tavern thing.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, that's.That's right.
Corey (DM)Yeah, you ditched them before you all left out the back door because some process servers were called out and sent after you all.So you did see a couple process servers, but you're able to sneak out the back because you did hear them saying they were like, they're here somewhere because they were tracking.Yeah, your rings.And so you were able to dis.Rings.Hop out back, grab a bunch of clothing along the way to cover your faces and heads, made your way south, heading towards the ocean.You could smell that beautiful water as you got there.There was a crowd gathered at the beach.You also noticed there was, like, a dock, a bunch of boats.You could see some islands out in the distance in the water, and everyone was huddled together.And you found Jeremy.Jeremy the whale.First appearance in arc two, and that's kind of where we left off.So you all find yourself at the beach.There's crowds of people super excited, cheering.Jeremy's off in the distance aways, but you can tell this is a really big whale that's going around.He's shooting his stream up in the air, and that's.That's where we'll pick up.So what do you all do?You do know, like, you do have the map.It does say that there's a red X.Towards the islands is where your destination is for the chew of loyalty.But you have also just spotted a once in a lifetime Jeremy the whale.Yeah.So you all need to go get some.
Nick (E'Louie)Jeremy.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah, let's.What does he look like?
Lauren (EZ)Like I just such a beautiful stream.
Corey (DM)It's like the very cartoonish.Well where it's like he's almost kind of square but they're really small.Like kind of like tail that goes.
Nathan (Stump)Off a sperm whale.
Corey (DM)Yeah, there you go.
Lauren (EZ)Can he be kind of like white and orangish?
Corey (DM)He is now that's what I was picturing.
Nathan (Stump)What do you mean by orange?
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah, like, like I don't know that stripes.Like is patch or stripes or is he just like whitish orange?
Nathan (Stump)Is he rusty?
Lauren (EZ)Is he maybe like his belly?
Hana (Sage)I'm thinking like leucistic right?
Lauren (EZ)Like what is that?
Hana (Sage)Kind of like yellowish?
Nathan (Stump)I'm dumb.What's that mean?
Lauren (EZ)Maybe.
Corey (DM)I mean yeah, kind of.
Nathan (Stump)Does that mean of or being orange?
Hana (Sage)No, it means like they're not quite albino but they don't have pigment in their skin.
Lauren (EZ)Jeremy is an albino sperm whale.
Corey (DM)There we go.With a little orange alligator.Okay, well that makes sense.So that's kind of what you see out in the distance.It is pretty far at this point.You see a couple.While you're kind of like deciding what to do you see a couple of people actually hop in the water and begin swimming towards Jeremy.
Hana (Sage)You're like you better get on top of this.
Corey (DM)But you're like he's pretty far swimming.Seems a little desperate.You also notice a lot of people yelling at them to stop as they begin swimming.And you notice one person next standing next to you all is just like shaking his head and he's like well there goes a couple more.
Nathan (Stump)Stump says to the guy, he says.
Lauren (EZ)Well what is, what is problem?Why can't they swim?
Corey (DM)And he turns to look at you.
Lauren (EZ)Hello.
Corey (DM)And then he looks up, he's like oh hello.
Lauren (EZ)You are me Stump.
Corey (DM)You all are definitely out of place.Stump.Nice to meet you.Stump.
Lauren (EZ)Nice to meet you.
Corey (DM)My name is Charlie.Very nice to meet you.
Lauren (EZ)Oh hello.
Corey (DM)Yeah, so the reason I said that is.Well you know why.
Lauren (EZ)No, it seemed like fun.Time you go swim out to these.Jeremy.Yes.
Nathan (Stump)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Jeremy the.Well everyone knows the story.
Hana (Sage)So just like my friends here, they're.They're a little bit dumb.
Corey (DM)Oh you are so fluffy.
Hana (Sage)I know, it's wonderful.
Corey (DM)I'm sorry, I did not mean to be Forward.But you are.Are Fluffy.
Hana (Sage)Sage.Nice to meet you.
Corey (DM)Charlie.Nice to meet you.
Hana (Sage)Soft handshake.
Corey (DM)Oh, my gosh.
Corey (DM)So can I take you home to my children?
Hana (Sage)We'll talk about it later.My friends here are very sheltered.
Lauren (EZ)Would you.
Hana (Sage)Would you be so kind as to give them the story of Jeremy?
Corey (DM)Oh, yeah.So, okay.Well, I'm surprised you all don't know the story.It's kind of the lore.
Hana (Sage)Sheltered.
Corey (DM)Well, Jeremy the whale travels around.He gets spotted once every.I mean, sometimes once every five years, once every 20 years.It's a very rare occasion.So this is pretty awesome.
Lauren (EZ)Amazing.
Corey (DM)But like, the story goes, like, you can't approach Jeremy.Jeremy has to approach you if you want the good luck.And he pukes on you.
Lauren (EZ)He must choose you.
Corey (DM)But the thing is, these two people swimming out to him while they're about to die.Like, look, look, just watch.
Lauren (EZ)Die.
Corey (DM)And you all, like, turn to the ocean and you see them swimming and they're a good, you know, 200ft out in the water now, swimming, like, trying desperately.People are shouting, come back.You see a bunch of ripples around them.As you see a giant worm pop out of the water and just consume these people.And another one comes out through their mouth.Yeah, it like swallows them.And he.And the guy was like, well, see, he told you.
Nick (E'Louie)Is the crowd like.
Corey (DM)Oh, yeah.They're kind of like shocked, but not shocked.Yeah, everyone's just kind of like.Some people are like, they should have known better, but people he.And so the guy's telling you, like, people get desperate.They want Jeremy's blessing.Because when he blesses you, you find things you didn't know you were lost.You see things.You have very good luck.But the thing is, Jeremy, anywhere Jeremy goes, these worms go.They follow him.
Lauren (EZ)What, do the worms have names?
Corey (DM)They do not.They kill you.So people don't really give them names.
Lauren (EZ)How about worm me, would you think?
Corey (DM)Sure, why not?They, anywhere Jeremy goes, they travel.So basically, those that try to go to Jeremy get consum.Doomed by these worms.But if Jeremy chooses you, the worms give way for Jeremy to approach.
Lauren (EZ)Like his bodyguard, kind of.
Corey (DM)He doesn't.Well, legend says he doesn't even really care about these worms.They just follow him.
Lauren (EZ)Like groupies?
Corey (DM)Kinda, yeah.So I mean, like groupies.
Nick (E'Louie)You can't.
Corey (DM)You can't.You can't grab Jeremy's blessing.It has to be bestowed.That's the legend.As you saw.They tried to take it themselves.
Nick (E'Louie)I've got another question for you, Charlie.
Lauren (EZ)Sure.
Corey (DM)And he Looks down.How can I help you?
Nick (E'Louie)Well, is it Charlie or Charles?
Corey (DM)Charlie's fine.
Nick (E'Louie)Charlie, what kind of blessing do you get bestowed upon?
Corey (DM)Well, I've never seen anyone who's been blessed, but the stories say, like, someone was looking for something very important to them.And, you know, my father told me this story, and I think he was looking for like a long lost loved one.And then he was.He was just sad by the beach one day and Jeremy showed up.Spewed all over him.
Lauren (EZ)He spewed?
Corey (DM)He spewed?
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.
Lauren (EZ)Like from his blowhole?
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.Yeah.
Corey (DM)And so he.He got covered in that.And then apparently the next day he was just wandering through the forest and he stumbled upon the person he was looking for.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, you don't say.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Guys, maybe we could pout on the beach.Pout.
Lauren (EZ)Stop.So sad.Oh, and then stump stub his toe.
Lauren (EZ)And then when he comes over, we can use this.Find the artifact.
Lauren (EZ)True.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, we have to lure bestowed upon by.
Nick (E'Louie)Did you.Is the world actually vomiting on people?
Corey (DM)Yes.
Corey (DM)He.
Corey (DM)He can direct his vomit.Yes, his vomit.His spout.
Corey (DM)Wow.
Corey (DM)Yes.
Lauren (EZ)As you do he puke on us and then we find the finch.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, but how.How can we get him to come to us?
Hana (Sage)So.So can I.Can I roll something to see if Charlie seems suspicious at all?
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.

Hana (Sage)Yes, yes.
Corey (DM)Do.
Lauren (EZ)Do the thing, Sage.Do the thing that you do.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, there it is.
Lauren (EZ)It sounds so delicious.
Hana (Sage)That's really cool.
Corey (DM)All right, inside.
Nick (E'Louie)Are you satisfied?Plus two.Yes, Nathan,.
Nathan (Stump)Plus two to the roll.
Hana (Sage)So say just like looking Charlie over and being like, is this a.Is this a decent person to ask questions of?That's a 10.
Corey (DM)10 Plus 2.
Nick (E'Louie)12.
Hana (Sage)No, 8 plus 2.
Corey (DM)Oh, 8 plus 2.
Corey (DM)I see.Total.I mean, from what you can see, he.He's kind of like a no BS guy.Like, he's not like shifty eyed.Like he's.It's.He's almost so natural or anything.
Corey (DM)No.
Hana (Sage)So, Charlie, are you.Are you a local?You've been.You've been around here for a long time?
Lauren (EZ)Yep.
Corey (DM)Born and raised in Puperville.
Hana (Sage)That's amazing.Do you know anything about the.The outlying islands here?
Corey (DM)Yeah, that's just the old.We call them the old aisles.That's where a lot of the hermits used to live back in the day.Now it's just kind of a.People go there to fish, people go there to vacation and stay A few days.It's.It's kind of like you're roughing it there.People go camping.I mean, there's some rumors it's haunted, but it's just kind of local tales.
Hana (Sage)Sounds.This sounds very intriguing to me.
Corey (DM)And you notice that Jeremy's actually, like, swimming in the direction to the aisles.
Lauren (EZ)Great.
Hana (Sage)So I pull out the map, and I'm like, charlie, Charlie, this sounds very relaxing for me and my friends here.We would.We would love to go camping.Could you tell me, like, which one of these, like, the little red X?Is there a particular island that that is?
Corey (DM)No, that's just the south aisle.I mean, there's a.There's a total of five islands.Look, you have to take a boat to get there.And he kind of shows you the dot points to the docks.Like he's like.They rent him out.If you know how to sell your own vessel, you can pay a cheaper rate.But there's also someone that can take you out there, like a taxi.
Lauren (EZ)Oh.
Corey (DM)And once you get to the islands, they're all connected by rope bridges and different ways to hop between them.But the one where the X is, that's the southern island.There's not really much there.It's really overgrown.The fishing's not good there.No one really hangs out at the southern island.
Lauren (EZ)That sounds terrible.Let's not go there.
Hana (Sage)No, no, no, Charlie.
Lauren (EZ)Boring.
Hana (Sage)Stomp.
Lauren (EZ)There's nothing to do there.
Nick (E'Louie)I'm.
Hana (Sage)I'm training these goobers in survival.I think that's where we're gonna go.
Corey (DM)I mean, you're gonna get some good survival skills there.There's not much food or anything on that island either, so you need to pack some stuff with you if you want.
Hana (Sage)Perfect.
Lauren (EZ)Sound terrible.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, let's make our way to the dock then.
Hana (Sage)Yeah, you're gonna love it, Stump.It's gonna be so much fun.
Lauren (EZ)Can we write?
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Lauren (EZ)Taxi.
Hana (Sage)We could probably read it because I don't know how to sail.I don't know if any of y' all do, so.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, so that's on the south island.Where.What is.Where is Jeremy headed to the islands.Okay.
Hana (Sage)In that kind of area, you don't know what.
Corey (DM)He's just heading towards the islands.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)And he's pretty close, from what you.
Lauren (EZ)Can see to the islands.Okay, Gotcha.
Hana (Sage)Okay, so do we want to stand here on the beach some more?Head for the docks?

Corey (DM)Nice.Great.Yeah.As you were, like, going.Heading towards the docks with everybody, you're just, like, so overwhelmed and happy because you're at the ocean.You see Jeremy over there.You're kind of looking around, so you see, like, a glint of a light, like, hit your eye, like a reflection.And you turn to look back north towards the town, and you see there's, like.At least there's a group of, like, five people.Three of them are completely decked in silver, like, making their way south towards the beach.
Lauren (EZ)And then I like, pointing over, like, yeah, behind me.And I'm like, we need to get.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.Louis looks over and he's.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, we might have company that we don't want.Let's get a move on.

Hana (Sage)Because it's a surprise stump.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, do we know about the map?
Corey (DM)Yeah, you've had the map.Like, yeah, Stumps had the map.
Lauren (EZ)Do we know about this map?

Lauren (EZ)You know, I'm just real focused on.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Jeremy's just like, yeah, yeah.So you get to the docks.It's.It's pretty hopping.You see there's some people leaving and going from the docks.Like, it's.It's midday, so it's, you know, a lot kind of happening.You do see that there's about four vessels left here in the dock.And no, they're not, like, really big.There's just too simple, like, sailboats.There's a few people that are there, you know, tying things off, loading, unloading.But you do see there's just a lot of, like, deck hands there.
Nathan (Stump)Okay, is there anybody here Giving just, like, hardcore sailor, Captain Ahab vibes.
Corey (DM)Oh, yeah.Why don't you roll me a perception check?
Nathan (Stump)Yeah, I'd love to.
Lauren (EZ)I would love to hear a sea shanty.
Nathan (Stump)I got nine plus two.
Corey (DM)Nine plus two.Yeah.As you're looking around, you're, like, trying to, like, eyeball who might have the most experience.You definitely see one guy that stands out.Everyone else is.I mean, they know what they're doing.But you see one guy who's kind of old, crotchety looking, kind of just, you know, squinting his eyes at everybody as they're working, like he's silently judging everybody.Yeah, he's just leaning on his boat that's on the dock.You see whales.You see him peeling an owl apple with a knife.
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.
Corey (DM)And he's just chilling there.You do notice that, like, he is missing a leg, and it is woody.
Lauren (EZ)Does he have a patch?
Corey (DM)He does not have a patch.
Lauren (EZ)Is he singing?
Corey (DM)He is not.He's just staring everybody down.That's working.Slicing his apple, eating pieces.He's got a peg leg made of wood.I mean, we had to give him the stereotypical, right?
Nathan (Stump)I love it.
Nick (E'Louie)I love it.So Louis walks up and says, hello there.
Nick (E'Louie)So, sir, you look like a seafaring man.Would you be kind enough to take us to one of these isles?
Corey (DM)He, like, cuts through a piece, puts it in his mouth, you know, chopping along.
Hana (Sage)Do you want a cucumber, Cory?
Corey (DM)No, I'm good.

Nick (E'Louie)Boat and hops gingerly into the boat.
Lauren (EZ)Sage get to swab?
Hana (Sage)Yeah.Sage hops from the deck on from the dock onto the deck and goes to find a mop.
Lauren (EZ)I guess Stump would get in the pigeon's nest.Stump think his best part.The pigeons keep an eye out.Is that what it is?
Hana (Sage)Crow's nest.
Corey (DM)He's easy.Like climbing.Trying to climb the one sail this has.
Corey (DM)He's like, you're not gonna fit up there.You're probably gonna break it.
Lauren (EZ)If you go up there, you have a crow's nest.Not bigger, you don't have.
Corey (DM)It's more like a sparrow's nest.
Lauren (EZ)Underground.
Lauren (EZ)How close are the people?
Corey (DM)Getting pretty close at this point.
Nick (E'Louie)Easy.
Corey (DM)He told you to man the sale, so why don't you roll me a.Let's do a acrobatics check.

Nathan (Stump)Sure.
Corey (DM)That's probably what I meant to say.
Lauren (EZ)So I have plus 7 because I rolled a 3, so is 10.
Corey (DM)You're like struggling with the rope to like pull it down and you don't know what to do.You're like turning things.
Lauren (EZ)Maybe my hair's kind of getting in my face.
Corey (DM)It's like getting in your face?Yeah.He walks over, he's like, I hear you, landlubber.
Corey (DM)You had been on a boat before, have you?
Lauren (EZ)Where's my song?
Corey (DM)You'll get your song while we're on the water.
Corey (DM)And he begins, he like one handedly gives it a yank and sail comes down.
Nick (E'Louie)Wow.
Corey (DM)And he walks to the back and like maneuver something where the rudder is.And he's like, everyone, here we go.And it's like barely like, you know, very slowly.
Corey (DM)Wait, wow, we're really going now.
Corey (DM)Are we moving?
Nick (E'Louie)This is it.Oh, okay.
Nick (E'Louie)Louis starts sweating a little bit.He's grabbing your forehead.He's like looking at the people running at him and he's kind of looking at the sail and he's like, well,.
Corey (DM)Luckily, luckily they haven't spotted you yet, so that's good.They're just making their way down, but they are getting closer.And he's like, are you ready for it?Are you ready?
Lauren (EZ)Is it turbo ready?
Corey (DM)And then he looks up, like, licks his finger and holds it up in the sky.
Corey (DM)He's like, ah, yes, here it comes.
Corey (DM)And then, then you feel this gust of wind come and hit the sail and it begins to actually push you out to water.
Lauren (EZ)I've never been more alive.
Nathan (Stump)He knew it was coming.
Lauren (EZ)Hell yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)Captain Brendan, while you're still looking for a mop.
Corey (DM)When you've been out in the water as long as I have, you know when the gust of winds are coming, y' all pick the perfect time to hop on board.
Lauren (EZ)Yay.What do you know about Jeremy?
Corey (DM)Oh, the big sperm whale?
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Corey (DM)He travels these seas from time to time.
Corey (DM)People see him and he's very mysterious.Apparently the rumors are he pukes on you and you get lucky.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Nick (E'Louie)I hear this.We get a little closer.
Corey (DM)Can you take us for a closer look at Jeremy?
Corey (DM)No.You do not approach him without being approached.I do not want them worms destroying my ship.
Lauren (EZ)What you did.If we just going same direction, I'm.
Corey (DM)Taking you to the islands and that's what you paid me for.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Have you noticed that, like, he is.Jeremy is still kind of circling Those islands.
Lauren (EZ)Have you ever been puked on?
Corey (DM)No, I have not been lucky.And I don't go looking for it either.If it's my time, it's my time.That's my motto.Okay, I. I believe I promised you a song.
Lauren (EZ)Yes, please.
Corey (DM)Hey, what would you like me to sing about?
Lauren (EZ)Jeremy.
Lauren (EZ)Jeremy.
Lauren (EZ)On the spot, Corey.
Nick (E'Louie)And maybe a long lost love of.
Corey (DM)Yours, Jeremy, in a long lost love.Hey, here we go.
Corey (DM)And you see him like sit down like sits up tall begins to clear.
Corey (DM)His throat oh, Jeremy is a mighty.
Corey (DM)Will he swim and by the sea.
Corey (DM)I'm looking Looking for the beauty of mine oh, where can she be?I've never found the love of mine because she's gone away so Jeremy's come down to help me find is what I say.So here we go to the islands.We'll get there fast.They gave me five vouchers and I left it their ass.But I know we will get there and we're not going to die because I have insurance.I'll kill them before I. Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)That was so good.
Lauren (EZ)It.
Lauren (EZ)Brendan.Wow.Thank you, big star.
Corey (DM)Sometimes I sing things and stuff comes out and I'm like, oops, I shouldn't have said that out loud.
Lauren (EZ)There was a part in there, but I can't even remember anymore.
Corey (DM)Perfect.
Hana (Sage)That was.
Nick (E'Louie)That was a great song.
Lauren (EZ)That was the best thing.
Lauren (EZ)You and Stump should do a collab.
Nick (E'Louie)You should.
Lauren (EZ)I take this whole place.My storm.
Nick (E'Louie)A collab?
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Lauren (EZ)You tour the countryside.
Lauren (EZ)They do it.
Corey (DM)Nothing like making up songs on the water.
Corey (DM)As you know, you're kind of talking and discussing and some more seashell aunties come along and you're having a good time.He's steering the direction the wind is taking it.You eventually get to the northmost island, which hasn't the actual dock.You see that the other islands are very rocky and go up.So there's no way to really dock at the other islands except this north island.And they already have like a dock built there with like many spots for ships to pull up.He pulls up to it and says,.
Corey (DM)All right, you've arrived.How long do I have to wait before I take you back?
Lauren (EZ)Oh, that's a good question.
Corey (DM)Anything longer than six hours is another two vouchers.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.I don't think.I guess.
Nick (E'Louie)Surely we can get our things done by that time or.Thank you very much.
Lauren (EZ)You could come with.Come with that?
Corey (DM)No, I got to watch the boat.Listen, if you're not back in six hours, I'm selling back.Or you can pay me for Another two hours and.Okay, I can wait eight.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.I wink at him and I'm like, thank you,.
Corey (DM)Weird, but you're welcome, weird.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)I can't imagine that it take us longer than six hours unless we get caught somewhere.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Everything we do is very expedient.
Corey (DM)Stop.
Lauren (EZ)Learn this from Sage.
Nathan (Stump)Good job.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, that's a good job.
Corey (DM)Using the word stuff.
Hana (Sage)I never did find a mop on that boat.
Lauren (EZ)You didn't do your job.
Hana (Sage)I didn't.
Corey (DM)He looks around, he's like, well, you.
Corey (DM)Didn't swab my deck, but, well, it's okay, I guess.
Lauren (EZ)Where is Jeremy in.
Corey (DM)You don't see him at the moment, but you are, because you are at the island and there's a lot of islands around here.But you do know he was sailing or sailing.He was swimming around.He was on his own boat.He was swimming around.So he's probably somewhere.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)So Louis takes a look at that map and to try to get in the direction and says, okay, okay, I.
Nick (E'Louie)Think it's this way.And starts heading.
Corey (DM)He's like, wait, which way you going?
Nick (E'Louie)Well, here's the map here, Mr. Brendan.Captain Brendan.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)And shows him the map with their red X on it.
Corey (DM)And he looks at the map, he's.
Corey (DM)Like, I have not seen a map this old in a long time.This is one of them very old.
Corey (DM)Maps, I reckon that would be.
Corey (DM)Did you get this from an antique store or a dealer?Well, anyways, where the red X is, that's going to be the south island.What you're going to do, we're going to go up here on this first island you're going to go right, so.
Corey (DM)And he kind of tells you, like, there's an island to the right now and to the left, and they both are suspended by bridges.
Corey (DM)You're going to go to the right side, take that.That.Or take.Take that bridge across.And then once you get to the second island, you're going to take that south and then you'll find another bridge and that'll take you to the south southernmost island.So not.Not very far.As long as you stay right, you'll get there quicker.
Nick (E'Louie)That's great.Then they're connected by bridges.
Nick (E'Louie)That would be very helpful.
Corey (DM)Hope you're not afraid of heights.
Lauren (EZ)Should be fine.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)All right.
Nick (E'Louie)All right.
Corey (DM)I'll be waiting for you.It looks like we got another ship coming to dock.What if they're coming to camp as well?
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, no, it's not the.
Corey (DM)And he like, pulls his little, you know, periscope out Looks through his eyeglass.
Corey (DM)That's weird.Why are they all dressed in silver?
Hana (Sage)Let's.Let's hoof kids.
Nick (E'Louie)All right?Let's have into the wilderness.
Lauren (EZ)They did survive.
Corey (DM)If they did see you, they didn't make any, like, shouting or indication that they've seen you.Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)How are.Do we have anything on us at all?That can be any type of tracking, Aside from the things that we don't.
Nathan (Stump)Have, I think they're just on to us.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Hana (Sage)They might also be out here also.
Nathan (Stump)It's also a great way to keep us moving.
Corey (DM)What Sage said ahead is, you know, also, you were told us too, that they are also looking for the relics.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Could be a coincidence.Could be.Yeah.They saw you and realize you're looking for it too.So we're just a little ahead.
Nick (E'Louie)Louis says Captain Brendan, will you be okay here by yourself?
Corey (DM)Oh, yeah.I've done this many a times.You're not my first group to take to the islands and back.I mean, I think I only lost one, but I've got a pretty good record.
Nick (E'Louie)All right, then.
Lauren (EZ)And the foot.
Nick (E'Louie)Well.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, I guess we'll be on our way now.Thank you.
Hana (Sage)Don't be losing this one.
Nick (E'Louie)Let's get a move on.
Corey (DM)All right, you got six hours, and I'm heading back.
Hana (Sage)Roll perception to see which way we're, like, going and make sure we don't, like, fall into a booby trap or something.
Corey (DM)Oh, yeah, absolutely.You can totally do that.
Lauren (EZ)Should we all do that?
Hana (Sage)That corner?
Corey (DM)Yeah, we'll say.Why don't everybody roll perception for the first island?
Hana (Sage)I rolled a nat 20.
Corey (DM)Nice.
Hana (Sage)I know everything about this island.
Lauren (EZ)17.
Corey (DM)Nice.
Nick (E'Louie)I'm like a 12.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Lauren (EZ)A 12.
Nick (E'Louie)12.
Corey (DM)Seven.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Corey (DM)Stump is, like, enamored by this island.It's beautiful.Like, this is the only place you've seen where the, like, wildlife and everything like, this looks like a wild jungle island.
Lauren (EZ)Guys, did you know know this called sand because it's where the sea meets the land?
Lauren (EZ)Don't realize this.Wow.
Hana (Sage)You see that lizard over there?Look, he's looking at you.
Nick (E'Louie)Huh?
Lauren (EZ)Is that where the Lizzie meets the deserto?
Corey (DM)Wait, wait.
Lauren (EZ)What is it?What?
Hana (Sage)Anomalies are weird.
Corey (DM)Anomalies are weird, but yeah.So this first island, you're kind of looking at everything.It's very overgrown.It's very islandy.Jungle island.And you do see a lot of, like, lizards and creatures making their way around Sage.You know, you don't see, but you hear, like, coming from the south.
Lauren (EZ)I rolled a 17.Did I see My best friend too.
Corey (DM)You do not see him?No, but Sage was able to pick up a faint.
Hana (Sage)Like our whale friend is somewhere nearby.
Lauren (EZ)I want to start like shimming as like kind of like a. I don't know, kind of like a.
Nick (E'Louie)Like a belly dancer.
Hana (Sage)Yes, I want to do that.
Lauren (EZ)Entice him to come closer.
Lauren (EZ)No, easy.Stop.He hates it.If you are too much of a try harder.
Hana (Sage)Just gotta let it happen.Easy.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah, I just.
Lauren (EZ)I have.I have to know.
Lauren (EZ)We have to act like we don't want Jeremy.
Hana (Sage)Yeah.Play it cool.
Lauren (EZ)Stomp is so sad and he hates Jeremy.I think maybe you'll come to us.
Nick (E'Louie)If we could do that.Maybe we could get a little closer to the seat.
Corey (DM)The shore.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)So that he might be able to see you.
Lauren (EZ)Where's the bridge?Yeah.
Corey (DM)So you keep making your way.This first island.There's not any.It doesn't seem to be anything that's like.Like dangerous small creatures like that.Like the.Charlie had said it's very wildlife camping.People come here to just kind of get away from the towns.And eventually, you know, 15 minutes later you see a rope bridge and.
Lauren (EZ)Oh no.
Corey (DM)You realize like the further you go, like the higher the island gets, the elevation.And so when you get to the rope bridge, you see like it's a good quarter mile.Oh, bridge that goes across.And like you see like the fog like over the bridge connecting the two islands.You see the ocean below like smashing into the rocks.And it.This rope bridge is not like industrial built.Like this is very put together rope bridge.
Lauren (EZ)Rope bridges are usually made for people smaller than stump.
Hana (Sage)This is very.
Nick (E'Louie)So we would like to do an investigation.
Corey (DM)Absolutely.
Nick (E'Louie)On the bridge.
Hana (Sage)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)Actually maybe there's someone with better investigation than me.
Lauren (EZ)You know, I just.
Nathan (Stump)We're all bad at investigation.Maybe Sage should do it.
Hana (Sage)I have a minus.
Corey (DM)Sage is terrible.
Lauren (EZ)I have.I have an idea for the rope bridge.Maybe.
Lauren (EZ)What this idea.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.Maybe if you.If we like attached.What?How heavy do you think you are?
Lauren (EZ)Stump is like one stump.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, okay.So maybe we can just like attach some rope to you and you can take your ring off and then we can go across.
Hana (Sage)I'm so smart.
Corey (DM)That's actually a really good idea.
Hana (Sage)Sage leans down and gives her a big soft hug.You're so smart.
Corey (DM)So this is the first.This is the first time that we've done this during the podcast.But give yourself inspiration.
Hana (Sage)Of it sometimes.
Corey (DM)So listeners, if you don't know what heroic inspiration is, it is a mechanic in D and D that if Someone does something great.The DM can award heroic inspiration for coming up with a really good idea.And you can spend that inspiration to roll with advantage.
Lauren (EZ)And it was because of my shimmy, not because of that good idea.
Corey (DM)Actually, I'm gonna take it back.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, my gosh.
Lauren (EZ)Dang it.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, so Stump put on every ring.
Hana (Sage)No, no, no, no.This rope.No rope around your waist.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.Rope is nice.
Hana (Sage)Dirty knot.
Lauren (EZ)Good, good.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Lauren (EZ)Stuff can hear the rope sound effects that Corey added in.
Lauren (EZ)Yes, yes, yes.
Hana (Sage)Now give me.Give me your ring.
Corey (DM)Give me a ring.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.All right.Stump has no ring now.
Lauren (EZ)And then there he goes.
Hana (Sage)Everybody hang on.Everybody hang on.One.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Wow.
Corey (DM)Okay, now also, what do you.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, you have.
Lauren (EZ)You might observe something while you're up there too.
Corey (DM)Oh, roll me.Perception check with advantage.Since you are up higher.
Nathan (Stump)That was a 9, plus 2 is 11.
Corey (DM)You're so enamored by what's below you with the ocean and the rope bridge and the trees.Yeah, but you are like floating up there.You're basically a balloon.They're holding on to you.
Lauren (EZ)You don't let go of stomp.
Hana (Sage)No, we won't.
Corey (DM)Sage is a.
Nick (E'Louie)Is pretty big bunny, but you kind of glide.
Hana (Sage)Yeah, I do.
Nick (E'Louie)So you're kind of using that.So maybe you're.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Hana (Sage)So I'm not going to like, apply pressure to the bridge either.
Nick (E'Louie)We just have to worry about YouTube.
Hana (Sage)And I think we're pretty much solid.
Corey (DM)Let's put it this way.Sage does not put any pressure.So if you, like, weighed Sage, it would be zero.
Nick (E'Louie)Wow.Rock and roll.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Lauren (EZ)How interesting.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, so I guess I kind of just want to do an inspection anyway.Just.Or, you know, investigation.Investigation.
Nathan (Stump)The bridge inspector.
Corey (DM)So before you actually walk across the bridge.Yeah, you can investigate.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Nathan (Stump)Is it up to code?
Nick (E'Louie)Nice.Killing it over here.I got a three, so it's pretty good.
Lauren (EZ)I know what that's like.
Nick (E'Louie)Pretty good.
Corey (DM)I mean, this is a rope bridge.It's going across the aisle.Yeah, it is a rope bridge.
Lauren (EZ)Can all invest.
Nick (E'Louie)Seems safe to me.
Corey (DM)Sure.
Lauren (EZ)So, okay, Tiny d. Okay.Investigation plus zero.
Corey (DM)So I got a 1212.It looks like a rope bridge.
Lauren (EZ)Really?
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)That fog is also hindering a little bit.
Lauren (EZ)But this is a rope bridge.
Nathan (Stump)What?
Corey (DM)But I will say the two smallest people are the only ones putting weight on this bridge.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Hana (Sage)Okay.So since it's you two small guys and you're holding Stump, I think we're gonna be safe.You just climb the rope bridge and hang on to Stump's rope.And if it does fail on us.You'll float with Stump.It's not a big deal.
Nick (E'Louie)Deal.
Hana (Sage)It'll be okay.It'll equal out.
Nick (E'Louie)And Louis says, I'd like to do something.I'd like us to move at a very quick pace.
Nick (E'Louie)And he also puts his hand on this ring as he's about to run, just in case the bridge falls.He plans on removing his ring, like immediately.
Nathan (Stump)Oh, smart.
Nick (E'Louie)So that he might.
Lauren (EZ)Ah, yes.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Because one thing you did notice when you're going through all these towns, like in the Whiskerlands and in the verdant greens, like some towns had the bubble over it to like the paid subscription that the town paid to like, keep all the citizens.The towns you've traveled past.There's no gravity bubbles.So this place relies on the rings.
Nick (E'Louie)So.
Corey (DM)Yeah, but that's a good idea.So if you were to fall, like take it off.But yeah.So you begin to make your way across the bridge.It's.It's a little rickety, but it seems to be a little more firm than you would think.I mean, when you're thinking like, you know, the movie.In the movies you see like in the jungle movies and stuff, like the tide rope knots and the wood slats, like, it's very much that.So it does, like, rock a little bit as you're walking across.But luckily you two aren't too heavy.So it's like a child walking across.
Lauren (EZ)So thankful that stump's not like on it and just being like, like just in case, you know.
Nick (E'Louie)Where's the rope attached?Is it in your hands?
Nathan (Stump)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)It's around your waist.
Nathan (Stump)Yeah.And he's like, got his arms and legs out like, you know, like he's doing a jumping jack and he's like,.
Corey (DM)Oh, does he say I'm on top of the world?So, yeah, you're making a way across the bridge.It's a little, you know, rickety.As you walk a little ways, you do notice that there are a few slats that are.They're old, you see, like they're.They're cracking and there's some slats that have been broken.But it's pretty obvious as you get closer to the center of.Of this rope bridge, you do see that it is.The fog is kind of covering it.So why don't Easy and Eloie roll me another investigation check.
Lauren (EZ)Don't have idea too.
Nick (E'Louie)Come on.
Lauren (EZ)14.
Nick (E'Louie)7.
Corey (DM)7 And a 14.With the 14.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Corey (DM)With the obstruction with the fog and everything.Who's actually in the front?
Nathan (Stump)I think Isn't it Sage?
Corey (DM)All right, say, are you taking the lead or who's taking the lead?
Hana (Sage)Yeah, I.Okay, so the way that I was thinking is, like, we're all holding stumps, rope, and it's like, Louie, easy me.Just so I can catch somebody if they fall, maybe.
Corey (DM)So you're like, behind then, so you can see everybody.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Hana (Sage)Yeah.Is that okay?
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.I was thinking Louie would go first because he's like, let's get him.
Corey (DM)I want to go with momentum.All right, so easy as, you know, you all are walking, you know, everyone's kind of looking around.Easy.You do notice that there are a couple slats broken where.Where Eloise about to step.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, Watch out.Don't.Don't step there.
Nick (E'Louie)What's that last one?
Corey (DM)Yeah, you look down, you're about to, like, where your foot was about to go.Like, the slats are hanging off because they, like, split in the middle.
Nick (E'Louie)And so Louie's body is by all means physically should be standing on that front foot because it's leaning forward and he's standing on his back foot somehow.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)And he's like, oh.
Nick (E'Louie)And he just stops.Like, he freezes.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)Steps over that one.Yep.
Corey (DM)But you're able to, like, extend your foot a little further and get to the next one.But there's just a few little things like that.Like the rope is.Or the bridge is not impassable, but if you're not paying attention, there are some slats that have been broken that just have not been replaced yet.
Lauren (EZ)I feel like I have one hand on a rope and then, like, one hand on your shoulder.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)There you go.Yeah, yeah.So you continue making your way, you know, stumps just up there floating, hands free, having a good time.Eventually you get to, you know, you're now to the other side.You see the other island.It's been, you know, what quarter mile walking is?What, like, 15, 20 minutes?
Nathan (Stump)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Of walking a quarter mile.So you, you know, took a little bit, but eventually you get there.Step foot on the second island, and there's some relief that.Okay, I'm off this bridge.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, guys, we made it.
Corey (DM)Good job.
Lauren (EZ)Can you hear?We make it.
Hana (Sage)We make it.
Lauren (EZ)Full stomp down, please.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, yes.
Nick (E'Louie)And you put your ring back on.There you go.
Hana (Sage)Good job, buddy.So where are those process servers looking?Looking.
Lauren (EZ)Hey, percepting stump have idea.
Lauren (EZ)6.
Lauren (EZ)Kind of classic idea.You probably already know what stomp want to do, right?
Hana (Sage)What's that, buddy?
Lauren (EZ)Everybody say it at the same time.One, two, three.Sandwich.
Nathan (Stump)Sandwiches.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, or we could cut the rope bridge.
Hana (Sage)I was thinking we should cut the rope bridge.
Lauren (EZ)We could do that too.
Lauren (EZ)Well, you said sandwich and I said peanut butter.
Nick (E'Louie)But how easy you're on this.
Lauren (EZ)We have figured it out.
Lauren (EZ)All right.Gotta get some jelly.
Lauren (EZ)I left the peanut butter on the boat.I think.Let's go back.Okay.Or we could cut the bridge.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, if we cut the bridge, how.How then will we return?
Lauren (EZ)We figured it out.Well, later.
Hana (Sage)So you see, I have this cool psionics thing and I could pick it back up and fix it later.
Lauren (EZ)Oh really?
Nathan (Stump)You are like.
Lauren (EZ)Is that how that works?If so, I trust even the bridge is very heavy.
Lauren (EZ)You know a bridge work, I would.
Corey (DM)Say it's not impossible, but you gotta.
Nick (E'Louie)Roll a nat 20.
Corey (DM)Yeah, that's fine.
Hana (Sage)That's true.I'm leaving it up to the group.
Nick (E'Louie)I think we are.We maybe ought to just run as.
Nick (E'Louie)Quickly as we can to get where.
Hana (Sage)We're trying to be.
Nick (E'Louie)Because after all, Captain Brendan is waiting on us.
Lauren (EZ)But Stump really want to break this bridge.
Lauren (EZ)How.How much time has it is just like these stories.
Corey (DM)Oh well, it took you about 15, 20 minutes to get across that bridge.I mean you've only been here about 30 minutes or.No, sorry, it was.I said 15.You've been here about 45 minutes on this island.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, let's.I.
Corey (DM)You do know that every bridge is connected.So there are other ways to leave.But that means there's also other ways for them to get there too.
Nick (E'Louie)So every.
Lauren (EZ)Let's just go.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Corey (DM)So you make it to the second island.Feet you know are down.You decide not to cut the bridge.You don't necessarily see the process servers coming.But you continue on your journey and this island's pretty much the same as the first one you came on.This one just has more trees than the first one did.And Sage, you hear the.
Corey (DM)But even.
Corey (DM)Louder this time still further south.
Lauren (EZ)Jeremy ahoy.
Lauren (EZ)Where is Jeremy?
Hana (Sage)I haven't vested interest in anything.Lucky.It's part of my culture.I would like to meet this whale.
Lauren (EZ)Michael, all of your feet are so lucky.
Corey (DM)I was wondering if someone's going to.
Hana (Sage)Say you remember the guy that tried to steal my ears Is.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Hana (Sage)Yeah.That's because there's a ramp rampant fur trade really.In Sendo, my people are.Are hunted for their bodies.
Lauren (EZ)Oh my goodness.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah, tough.
Hana (Sage)It's tough.Especially since I wasn't raised in.In my own home.Yeah, Sunday it was very confusing.
Lauren (EZ)Anyway, the dead is very dramatic and important and Stump was paying attention.
Hana (Sage)I'm sure you were, sweetheart.Where are we going next?
Nick (E'Louie)We have to keep moving to the south.
Hana (Sage)We are still being pursued.
Lauren (EZ)Do we hear Jeremy or just say sage?
Corey (DM)Yeah, but sage does tell you all.And you do know that you're supposed to stay, right?You have one more island to get to.That is the one that is marked with the X.And like I said, this island, it's a lot more trees.Same thing.You do see a lot of wildlife.You actually see a few other people as well hanging out.You see some, like, campfires set up, some families hanging out.You see them throwing, like, sticks to each other and, like, playing catch and doing random stuff.And it seems like a very recreational area.There are other people.Other people enjoying recreational things here as well.Like puffy.There's puffy clouds around them.
Hana (Sage)You're imagining fantasy cornhole.
Corey (DM)Fantasy cornhole.That'd be also great.And eventually, yeah, you make your way to the.Down this second island to the next rope bridge.This time, the elevation is higher on this part of the island.And when you get to the rope bridge further south in the distance, you see that the island kind of goes down.And easy.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Corey (DM)You spot a whale in the distance.
Lauren (EZ)Blow hole.
Nick (E'Louie)Excuse me.
Corey (DM)Blowhole ahoy.
Lauren (EZ)That's.That's what I wanted to say.
Hana (Sage)And we're all standing there with her still, huh?We're all standing there together still.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Hana (Sage)Okay.I. I don't know why.For some reason, I thought we were spread out more.I don't know.
Corey (DM)Now you all kind of get to this bridge, and when you get to the bridge, you notice that this elevation for this part of the bridge is higher than the last one, but the next island goes down, so you're actually heading down.
Nick (E'Louie)And you say.
Lauren (EZ)Belly dancing again.
Hana (Sage)And my attention snaps to where she's looking.I'm just like, oh, yeah, there's Jerry.Jeremy.
Lauren (EZ)Yep.
Lauren (EZ)It's not very nice to say about Eloise.He is our friend.
Lauren (EZ)I'm so sorry.
Corey (DM)And you notice that this island, this third island, which is the one that is marked X on your map, and as you were told by Captain Brendan, like, this is where you're supposed to go.This island has, like, nothing on it.It's got green grass.
Lauren (EZ)Okay?
Corey (DM)No trees, no nothing.No bushes.It's just a flat, green island.That's why you're able to see Jeremy past.I mean, it's not, like, cut, okay.But it's, like, just grass growing.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)And this.This.This bridge is, like, a hundred feet.It's a very Short bridge compared to the last one.
Lauren (EZ)Stop.No detriment.Stump, take off the ring.
Corey (DM)You notice that this bridge, though, is not a rope bridge.
Nathan (Stump)What is it kind of bridge?
Corey (DM)It is made of a steel structure.Oh, Very old.It is rusted, but it is solid.They've.They were able to like embed this into rock.
Lauren (EZ)I don't like the way this sounds like floating.
Nathan (Stump)And he's like, oh, oh.
Lauren (EZ)Can you pro.Stomp down?Stump will be okay.
Lauren (EZ)Can I roll investigation or perception?
Nathan (Stump)Yeah, you don't trust the bridge?
Lauren (EZ)I want to see it.
Corey (DM)More investigation.
Nick (E'Louie)I want to make investigation be good.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.I want.I investig.
Nick (E'Louie)Like st. Just run, buddy.
Hana (Sage)Yeah, yeah, yeah.Stump, put your ring on.
Lauren (EZ)Wait.
Hana (Sage)Book it across the bridge.
Lauren (EZ)Better idea.
Lauren (EZ)I. I rolled an 18.
Corey (DM)18.
Nathan (Stump)That's good.Minus.
Corey (DM)You kind.You go up to it.You go up to it.You look at this bridge.You start like shaking it.And like you look like in the rock.Like it is embedded in the rock very well.You see like.Like rivets into the rock through the bridge.And you're shaking this thing.It's not moving.And it's not just like slats.It's like a flat surface all the way across this bridge.Okay, so whoever made this bridge, like, it is very well constructed.
Lauren (EZ)Did Jeremy make it?
Corey (DM)No, he did not make it.Is that a real question?Are we okay?
Lauren (EZ)Stump says okay.Okay, let's make sure.All right.
Nathan (Stump)And he takes out his unconscious fud.
Hana (Sage)Oh, my God.
Nathan (Stump)Tosses him on the bridge.
Corey (DM)You hear as this thing hits the ground on the bridge.So it was a ball and like as it hits, it kind of like spreads out, you know, from just the force.No, it's solid.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, guys, it's fud.FUD test.
Hana (Sage)FUD proof.
Corey (DM)Those poor fellows.
Lauren (EZ)Approval.
Corey (DM)I think it's time.
Corey (DM)I'm just gonna tell you.
Hana (Sage)You can never trust a fudge God.
Nick (E'Louie)Let's go.
Nick (E'Louie)Starts running across the bridge.
Lauren (EZ)Let's go.
Corey (DM)Of the steel.As we run across.Yeah, as you run across, like it's.
Lauren (EZ)Don't step on foot.
Corey (DM)It's solid.There's like no movement.
Nick (E'Louie)Lou jumps over the FUD's FUD mess.
Nathan (Stump)And stump picks up his foot, puts.
Hana (Sage)Him sage skates over the foot, but it doesn't do anything.
Corey (DM)Yeah.You notice your FUD is like turning a gray color.No, nothing.
Hana (Sage)Spoiled.
Corey (DM)Weird.
Lauren (EZ)No, he's fine.He's fine.This happened to fud.Stop.Come on.
Hana (Sage)Stop coming off the bridge, Stump.
Lauren (EZ)Hey, would.Would you want to be thrown off.
Corey (DM)Bridge if I was?
Lauren (EZ)Because you Are great.Well, you are kind of gray actually.
Lauren (EZ)How far ahead are we?
Corey (DM)Yeah, you're pretty far ahead.
Nick (E'Louie)Have we made.
Nick (E'Louie)It's only 100 so.
Corey (DM)Yeah.You make it across.
Lauren (EZ)A lot to do.
Nick (E'Louie)100Ft?
Corey (DM)Yeah, it's 100ft.
Corey (DM)30.
Nick (E'Louie)30.30 Yards or so.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Very.Not very long.So you run across this in no time.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Lauren (EZ)You're just trying to maybe are.Did you pick it up or are you mourning the loss?
Nathan (Stump)The fud is on my back and he's fine.
Corey (DM)Okay, put the fud back on your back.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, he's fine.Concerning to like he just smells a little bit.
Corey (DM)You squish him back into your napsack.
Lauren (EZ)Is that's how you know he's.
Corey (DM)It's like one of those cup things that you push.
Lauren (EZ)You put your fingers in.Yes.
Corey (DM)When you put your fingers in the putty it just.
Nick (E'Louie)Lou's looking around trying to figure out what.Where we're going.Exactly.
Corey (DM)So one thing I will say like you notice that these islands, they're not huge cuz it doesn't take you a long time to get across them.So they're not like massive islands.Right.They're pretty small set of islands.As you all get to the southernmost island here, which is the third island you got to.You do notice like on the left side if you look further down you do see this time it's a rope bridge, not a steel bridge heading back nor or more towards like the eastern region northeasterns to another island.But you know you were on the southernmost.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)And when you get on the next island, like I said, there's nothing here but grass, no trees, like you don't even see boulders.Like it is flat grass.And yeah as you go to like the south towards the edge of the island down below you see Jeremy just making his way.This is the closest like as you are this close like it is crazy.The just enormous size of Jeremy as you see him down below.Actually he is like right up against the island basically just chilling down there.You do know this all and as you get this like top view down you look around him in this like semicircle.There are just so many of these giant worms that are just like swimming around.They're not going near Jeremy at all.But for some reason they protect Jeremy and they are huge.Just like in and out of the water swimming.But Jeremy's just kind of doing little laps at the bottom of this island.
Lauren (EZ)We should.We like we need to get closer but not too close.
Lauren (EZ)Should we call out to Jeremy like.
Hana (Sage)Hello we have a good insight check.
Nick (E'Louie)Louis says.
Nick (E'Louie)You know, I think that if we've listened to the people here who have talked to us, we have to wait for Jeremy to come to us.
Lauren (EZ)What if he's luring us to him?
Lauren (EZ)What if we.We toss.We toss the fud to him.
Hana (Sage)If you toss him that funny, you're.
Nick (E'Louie)Gonna throw it a dead sick thing, Jeremy.
Lauren (EZ)Look at him.
Nathan (Stump)And Stump holds him up and his neck kind of like slops to the side and he's like puppeting him.
Lauren (EZ)He's like, hello, I am okay.And I'm fud.See, that's really sad.He's a good friend.
Hana (Sage)The smell is too much.Louis, please talk to him.
Nick (E'Louie)So, okay, so my question is where we are on the island.
Nick (E'Louie)Island.
Nick (E'Louie)And where the red X's that we're trying to get to?Is it down the island toward the shore?
Corey (DM)Well, from an island, you're looking top down on a flat 2D surface.All it does is says in the center of the island.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, in the middle of the island.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)But Jeremy, this is a very, very old map.
Hana (Sage)You can't pinch and zoom on it, right?
Nick (E'Louie)No, there's no.
Corey (DM)Yeah, no 3D rotation.
Lauren (EZ)Dang it.
Corey (DM)It's top down.
Nick (E'Louie)Newfangled magic maps is so Jamie, Jeremy.So if we go back over the bridge, would it be like closer to over him or.He's just on the side of the island.
Corey (DM)So.Yeah, you're heading far south.Yeah, like the very far.So if you go back like you're gonna go farther away from Jeremy.So like think of.So this island goes into the water.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)And it's like a rocky surface.Like a flat rocky cliff face that goes down.I'm gonna say five, 600ft.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Down.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)And that's where Jeremy is at.And you see a bunch of like rocks and stuff coming out of the water.
Corey (DM)But like you.
Corey (DM)There's no way like go down there cuz it's a straight drop, right?Yeah, but that's how high this is up out of the water.
Hana (Sage)Somebody needs to maybe try and communicate with Jeremy.
Lauren (EZ)I. I volunteer as tribute.
Hana (Sage)You cannot do an animal handling in this D and D. How do you.That's how you killed a bunch of people last time, girl.
Corey (DM)Remember the cow situation?
Nathan (Stump)They got you there.
Hana (Sage)Think are either either beholden to do an animal handling or not allowed.And I can't decide which.
Nick (E'Louie)Are you talking 600ft?
Lauren (EZ)Feet.I have negative one animal handling.
Nathan (Stump)Stump.
Lauren (EZ)Says go now little foot tell Jeremy we say hello.
Lauren (EZ)My God.
Nathan (Stump)And he drops the Foot on Jeremy as well as he can.
Corey (DM)So as you see the fud go down, it hits.It hits the top of Jeremy and like, bounces off into the water.And you see the worms make their way and like grab the foot and then leave Jeremy as fast as possible with aggressiveness.
Nick (E'Louie)Like a piranha.
Corey (DM)Oh, absolutely.They're like this thing is attacking Jeremy, so they go after him.
Nick (E'Louie)Is there like a smear?Is there a schmear on German?
Corey (DM)There's like a green streak.Why don't you all roll me constitution saving throws.
Nick (E'Louie)Wow.
Nick (E'Louie)What are we doing here?
Nick (E'Louie)Son of a gun.
Hana (Sage)That's a 14.
Nick (E'Louie)14.
Lauren (EZ)And you know what?I'm going to ask what?
Corey (DM)No, you're not going to be frightened.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Hana (Sage)Dang.
Lauren (EZ)Six.Six.Good job.15, 12.
Corey (DM)15, 12, 13 Plus 1.13 Plus 1.
Nathan (Stump)14.
Corey (DM)Okay.As you all are, like looking down at Jeremy, you begin to.
Hana (Sage)You're all going to die.
Corey (DM)You're looking at Jeremy and you're just kind of standing like, how do we do this, Louie?
Nick (E'Louie)Like a bunch of fuddy duds.
Corey (DM)Louie, you are staring down as well.But Louie, you start to get this, like, dizzy, like, you feel like you're gonna pass out feeling.You know that feeling when you got up too fast?
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)And you're just like, oh, I gotta, like, calm myself.Yeah, yeah, you start to feel that way.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Corey (DM)The rest of you were like looking down, like, trying, talking and trying to figure out how do we get Jeremy, you know, blah, blah, the.The.The fud smear on the back of Jeremy.But Louie, you are like, oh, my gosh, like this dizzy feeling is really starting to take over.
Nick (E'Louie)Vertigo?
Nick (E'Louie)Kind of.
Corey (DM)Yeah, like vertigo.And immediately like, it's almost like your mind goes blank and you.It's almost like your vision gets cloudy and you just see white everywhere.And you're.You're looking around like moving your head, but all you see is pure white everywhere.And you begin to hear a voice in your mind.And you hear just this soft, calming voice.And you hear it say, like, there.
Nick (E'Louie)Is something you seek.What does your heart desire?
Nick (E'Louie)And beer, Louis.
Hana (Sage)Booze and broads.
Corey (DM)My beer?
Nick (E'Louie)No.So Louis, you know, he's kind of done some like, other like, you know, outside of self meditation in the past.And so maybe he kind of gathers himself a little sooner and then realizes that we're not here necessarily looking for this, but we're here.We are here looking for this artifact.And the artifact is the true of loyalty.
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.
Nathan (Stump)Hey, I. Yep, there it is.
Corey (DM)There it is.
Nick (E'Louie)Right.
Corey (DM)I'm Just.
Nathan (Stump)I'm just.Just making sure you're.
Lauren (EZ)You got.
Corey (DM)Make sure I know.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)The shoe.
Nathan (Stump)The chew of loyalty.It's not a shoe.
Nick (E'Louie)The chew of loyalty.So elui says, I seek the chew of loyalty.
Corey (DM)And why do you seek?
Nick (E'Louie)In order to restore balance.
Corey (DM)Balance can mean many things.
Nathan (Stump)Things.
Corey (DM)What are you trying to balance?Son of a beast.
Nick (E'Louie)Somebody help me.
Corey (DM)I don't know.You only hear this.You only hear this.It's just you.
Lauren (EZ)You got this, Nick.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, so it's a new.
Nick (E'Louie)He says.
Nick (E'Louie)He says, I seek to balance that place which I've been.
Corey (DM)Say.Installed.
Nathan (Stump)Got the snake.
Nick (E'Louie)I seek to balance that place in which I have been introduced to the world I live in now.
Corey (DM)Could you be more confusing?I'm just kidding.
Nick (E'Louie)You could.
Lauren (EZ)Could.I'm saying.Can I say something to Nick?
Corey (DM)To Nick?Yeah.Out of character.Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Could mention Finch.
Hana (Sage)Oh, you could mention Finch.
Nick (E'Louie)Interesting.
Hana (Sage)You could mention, like.
Nick (E'Louie)But the whole point.The whole.
Nick (E'Louie)The whole point of this situation was to.To restore balance.Because the magic is all that played down.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Nick (E'Louie)So we have to go find it.And that's the whole point of this story.Right?Is that we are trying to.And we are the non magical ones that need to find that.That which is magic and bring.
Lauren (EZ)You got this.
Hana (Sage)That'll restore like peace and balance to our new world.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, I'm ready to back into the funny questioning.
Corey (DM)She's like, excuse me.H. Interesting answer.So where does your heart and loyalty lie?
Nick (E'Louie)And Louis says.Louis says.
Lauren (EZ)Well.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, that's not difficult for me.I feel like relationship is the most important thing.And if we can bring together a better relationship, that's what I want to do.Please show me the way to the chu.
Hana (Sage)Lovely.
Corey (DM)Let me see your heart.
Lauren (EZ)Be still.
Corey (DM)And you feel like.Like you don't see anything.Like, physically, you still don't even see who's talking to you.You just see white.But you feel an invasive.
Nick (E'Louie)Ooh.
Corey (DM)Like something.You feel like something is inside of you, making its way around.Not just like saying in one spot, but you feel it in your head, down to your stomach, down to your toes, back up.It's like moving around.After several minutes of this, you hear.You seem to have a heart.That is true.You see good in people.And then boom.Your vision is restored.It is back.
Lauren (EZ)Is he like covered in puke?
Corey (DM)Nope.I mean, you all are still looking down at Jeremy, but this to you, Nick, like, this seemed like a long time.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)To everyone else, like, you had no idea this was happening.Like, even if you Would have noticed, right?You wouldn't notice.Like, you were staring down at Jeremy.Like, that was your focus.Like, even if you would have noticed something, it seemed just like a quick little, like, and then done.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Hana (Sage)His pants are a little bit wetter, though.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)But you do feel.You feel a little like after all this happen, obviously you feel weird.Like, what the heck was that?Who was that?
Nathan (Stump)A little aroused.
Lauren (EZ)A little bit.
Lauren (EZ)His pants are wetter and tighter.
Corey (DM)But you feel like something weird happened for sure.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)But you also feel a sense of pride.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)After that happened.And you feel like, almost like, okay, someone sees me and understands.The rest of you looking down at Jeremy, all of a sudden, you hear.As you see the stream of just blast of its water and charm and bone and just all of this stuff.And as you all, like, begin to look up, it misses every single person except Louie.
Hana (Sage)Nice.
Corey (DM)And Louie, as you look up, you've been chosen.Get covered and drenched.
Lauren (EZ)I'm so jealous.Is.
Corey (DM)And, like, it is sticky and it smells.
Corey (DM)It's gross.
Lauren (EZ)I figured it would smell good.
Nick (E'Louie)El is, like,.
Lauren (EZ)So happy.
Corey (DM)And the minute you all see this happen in this stream, come up and land on Louie, and everyone's like, whether you're trying to get in the midst barfs, like, it misses every single one of you.But as you look back down at Jeremy, you notice Jeremy is now on the move away from the island.
Lauren (EZ)Give you a big hug.
Hana (Sage)And I'm like, that was so happy for you.
Corey (DM)And the three of you, stump, sage and easy.Like you're excited and happy.You know, you're looking around to this barren island.There's nothing here.And Louise, you're kind of, like, wiping all this off.And everyone's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.You know, you kind of turn around for the first time.You notice there is a random structure now in the middle of the island.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, my gosh.
Corey (DM)But these three can't see it.
Hana (Sage)Are busy throwing up.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, is it like an obelisk?
Hana (Sage)Because you smell terrible, man.
Corey (DM)It looks like a farmhouse.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, so Louis has kind of a smile on his face, and he's also kind of, you know, gooping the stuff away from his eyes, you know, and as well.
Nick (E'Louie)That was very interesting now.
Lauren (EZ)Yes, it's.
Lauren (EZ)What happened.What was it like for you?
Nick (E'Louie)I kind of went to a different place for a moment, and I think I heard the voice of Jeremy.
Lauren (EZ)You leave.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah, just in my mind, though.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, it was Jeremy say to you quite something.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, he asked me about my intentions now, didn't he?
Hana (Sage)With his Daughter.
Lauren (EZ)Jeremy has daughter is these worms.
Hana (Sage)That's what I always think when someone says intentions.
Lauren (EZ)All right, the daughter, his daughter.
Hana (Sage)What are your intentions with my daughter?
Nick (E'Louie)He says.But I think in a way it appears my eyes have been opened.There's something there in the middle of the island waiting on us.
Lauren (EZ)No.
Nick (E'Louie)We should go check it out.
Lauren (EZ)There's nothing there.
Hana (Sage)What do you mean, Stump?What?What?
Lauren (EZ)There's nothing in the middle.
Lauren (EZ)How do you know?
Nick (E'Louie)You don't see it?It's there, right there.
Lauren (EZ)Looking at the middle and seeing nothing.What you see, Sage?
Hana (Sage)I. I see potential.We gotta go up there and.And check it out, buddy.Yeah.How are you gonna know?
Nick (E'Louie)I like this one.
Hana (Sage)How you gonna know when things are hidden if you never check the things out?
Lauren (EZ)This.
Nick (E'Louie)Good point.
Hana (Sage)You ever done a hide and seek?
Lauren (EZ)Yes.Okay, Stump is very bad at this game.
Hana (Sage)Yes, I'm sure you are.
Lauren (EZ)No one play with stuff.
Hana (Sage)Maybe we can.Maybe we can find some time to do that before we leave the island.
Nick (E'Louie)I think we have to do that, Sage.
Nick (E'Louie)But maybe after we've leave the island.
Hana (Sage)Precisely.
Nathan (Stump)Or right now, while I'm standing here.
Hana (Sage)Explaining this to Stump.You guys could take all the time in the world to go and investigate.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, I think we're just gonna head this way.And if you all want to come along, you should come.
Lauren (EZ)Sure, let's go.
Nick (E'Louie)There's something there.
Lauren (EZ)I just have.
Nick (E'Louie)Easy.
Corey (DM)When you come along.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.I have this look of like.I'm just like so jealous of you and like happy for you.And I just keep like staring at you with a picture big smile on my face.Cuz I'm just really happy.
Corey (DM)This is a very rare once in a lifetime thing that you have just with.
Nathan (Stump)Are you secretly pissed off?Are you secretly like should have been me?
Lauren (EZ)I'm like, my eye is twitching and I'm like, I'm so happy for you.No, I'm just kidding.But yeah, I'm like, this is amazing.And I just think of you.I'm like, I will follow you anywhere.
Nick (E'Louie)You have been barfed on fun.
Hana (Sage)Yes.
Nathan (Stump)Now we both think Eloise is the coolest guy ever.
Lauren (EZ)Oh man, you're our father figure.
Nick (E'Louie)There's Eloise.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah, he says, all right, let's go.
Lauren (EZ)Yes, let's go.
Nick (E'Louie)There's more to come and I can't.I don't know how to explain it exactly, but I know it's going to be good for us and it's going to be good for the people we're trying to help.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, sure.
Nathan (Stump)Yes.
Lauren (EZ)Let's go over to the nothing on where go.
Corey (DM)And, and Louie, you noticed that like the, it's a very old farm.It is overgrown.Like the foliage has almost like taking it all in.Like it's got vines and greenery all around it.Like it is like starting to like swallow this farmhouse up.That shows like how long this has probably been here and how old this actually is.And it's not like gigantic.It's, you know, what a two bedroom house would look like.You know, it's, it's not very huge.Like maybe 1500 square feet, you know.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Corey (DM)And like I said, the rest of you don't see it, but as you get up to it, you like, you see it's got just a single door on the front on this farmhouse.The windows are all boarded up.You can't like see through the windows.It, it, it looks to be, it's just a single level.It's not like a upper level or anything.And as you get to it, it, what do you do?
Nick (E'Louie)So as I'm coming up, as we're approaching it, I don't know, say we're still 50 yards out.So, you know, ish.And so I say, do you all see this?
Nick (E'Louie)Do you see the, the, the house?
Lauren (EZ)Yes.And we, we don't see the clouds.And you see the grass.
Nick (E'Louie)And he says there's a house there.It's the windows.
Lauren (EZ)No, there's no house.
Lauren (EZ)I believe.Arms out.
Hana (Sage)I believe you're going through something, Louie, But I do not see a thing.
Nick (E'Louie)No, it's not that close.Easy.It's.It's 50 yards this way.Way.
Lauren (EZ)Oh.
Nick (E'Louie)So, okay.So as I get closer, I kind of want to look around and just, you know, being as old as elui is, he wants to kind of know if it's going to be a dangerous situation.So it kind of looks around to do a perception to see if like anything could be harmful to anyone.
Corey (DM)Yeah, roll a perception.
Nathan (Stump)While he's doing that, Stump leans over.
Lauren (EZ)To easy and says, so do you know any family members of ilui?Maybe we should try to contact somebody.He doesn't look so good.
Lauren (EZ)I know that he has like a billion children.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.There must be someone who could help him.Yeah, I think he need help.
Nick (E'Louie)So it's a dirty day.
Corey (DM)All you can see from this house from the outside doesn't look like anything is really harmful.It is old.Like it looks like it's partially kind of falling apart.But from the outside it just looks like a really, really rundown farmhouse made of wood.Thatched roofing, but it doesn't look like it's a trap or it's gonna crumble.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)Cause that's what he's looking for.Is it anything dangerous that can hurt anyone?Okay, so in that case, Louis kind of starts approaching the.You know, heading toward the front door.
Nick (E'Louie)And then says, no, look, there's a house here.It's a bit mysterious if you can't see it.
Nick (E'Louie)I feel like I can see it here.
Nick (E'Louie)So I'd like to approach the front door.
Hana (Sage)Plus seven, plus two on perception.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Corey (DM)You definitely don't see it.
Hana (Sage)No.
Nick (E'Louie)What the heck?
Lauren (EZ)Are we able to maybe perhaps roll to see if.
Nathan (Stump)I mean, we don't have the roll.
Corey (DM)No.
Nathan (Stump)Like, we can't.I don't see a way we could.
Nick (E'Louie)So Louis kind of just explain to,.
Nick (E'Louie)Like, there's a house here.The windows are boarded, and I think I'd like to go up.It doesn't look to be dangerous.
Lauren (EZ)That's right, Lou.
Nick (E'Louie)Believe you.
Lauren (EZ)That is so nice.
Nathan (Stump)And he looks at Easy.
Lauren (EZ)He's like, we got to really get somebody over here.
Lauren (EZ)I don't know.I think he.The barf must have done something.
Hana (Sage)Yeah, let him cook.
Lauren (EZ)He's not cooking.It's not even dinner time.
Nick (E'Louie)So Louis says, well, if.
Nick (E'Louie)If you don't mind, maybe I'll just go up alone.Unless you'd like to come with me.
Lauren (EZ)I will go wherever you lead me.
Lauren (EZ)Where you lead me, I will follow.
Nick (E'Louie)Stay here, lass, and let me go ring the doorbell.And then if I think it's okay, I'll wave you in.
Lauren (EZ)Yes, that sounds great.
Nick (E'Louie)So 20.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, are you having a snack there, Sage?
Corey (DM)Oh, that's nice.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, I'll be right back, but keep eyes on me, and I'll wave you to come if I think it's going to be okay.
Nathan (Stump)Tana, did you.
Nick (E'Louie)He walks up to the front door.
Nathan (Stump)Did you eat that just because you're like, I'm kind of hungry, or was that.
Hana (Sage)I like the cucumber hungry?
Corey (DM)Yeah.You walk up to the front door.There's not, like, a doorbell.There's not a rope with a bell attached to it.It's just an old door.It does have, like, a.A twist handle on it, like a lever handle for the door, but there's not, like, a knocker on it.There's no.
Nathan (Stump)No knock.
Corey (DM)No knockers on this building.No bell to ring.Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)Cool.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, so Louis knocks on the door, you know, and says, hello.
Nick (E'Louie)Is anyone home?
Corey (DM)Surprisingly, the rest of you three here.
Hana (Sage)What the heck?
Lauren (EZ)Can I.
Lauren (EZ)How Are you doing?
Lauren (EZ)If I can touch this home, you.
Corey (DM)Can try, like, you hear him, like, knock, and you hear the.
Hana (Sage)Okay.
Corey (DM)And you hear him say, hello.
Lauren (EZ)I want to try and see if I can touch the home.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Corey (DM)So you can walk up to where Eloise is at and, like, put your hands at if you want.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah, that's what I do.
Corey (DM)All right.As you go up to where, like, Eloise is.
Nick (E'Louie)Hello.Easy.
Corey (DM)And Eloise, you're like, you know, hello, but you like nothing.You don't hear anything.
Nick (E'Louie)Kind of looking around.
Corey (DM)Yeah.And by the time, like, you're like, I don't hear anything.Easy comes up and what do you do?
Lauren (EZ)Oh, boy, I'm so sorry.Okay, so I'm just like, what is he doing?And then I just kind of, like, put my hand out to see if I.
Corey (DM)You, like, put your hand out and you don't feel anything.But, Louie, you see her hand, like, going through the door.
Nick (E'Louie)Wow.
Corey (DM)Yeah.Building.But for you.You knocked, and it was solid.And you see it.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Corey (DM)But for Easy, her hand is flowing right through it.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.And.And so Lou goes, wow, that's very interesting.
Corey (DM)I need Sage to roll me a perception check, please.
Lauren (EZ)My own sage.
Hana (Sage)19.
Corey (DM)Yeah.There's a glint of light that catches your eye while everyone's doing this.And you, like, oh, what is that?And you look to the left, and you see on the other island, a couple people walking over the crest.And you do see some process servers.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, process servers.Dmv.
Hana (Sage)All right, kids, I don't know that you're gonna need me.I'm gonna sneak off and see if I can do anything about that.
Lauren (EZ)You're leaving?
Hana (Sage)Good luck.
Nick (E'Louie)Why?
Hana (Sage)Boing, boing, boing.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, wait.
Corey (DM)Bye.
Nick (E'Louie)She bounced.
Lauren (EZ)Everyone acting very crazy today.
Lauren (EZ)I got back bounce.
Corey (DM)But, yeah, her easiest hand is going through it, but, you know, it's solid.And there, like, the handle is just like.You don't see a lock or, like, a lever?
Nick (E'Louie)Nobody answered.
Corey (DM)Nobody answered.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.So Louie, you know, kind of looks around, says, well, and he thinks to himself, it's time.And so he.He gently puts his hand on the lever and turns it down and opens it.Opens the door.
Corey (DM)Yeah.As you open the door, you see the inside of a very old.Old farmhouse.You see a fireplace at the very end.Dusty cobwebs everywhere.And easy.You standing up there, you know, you see Eloise, like, reach his hand out in the air and, like, go down.But the minute he pushes, you see this invisible door open, and you now see this cutout of a Door and you can see inside.And it seems impossible that this just standing in the air.Stump, you see it too.And H and Sage, as you're like w going away and you like look back to make sure you now also see this door that's just like in the middle of the air.But to Louie, this is a building.But to you all, you just see this open area now just floating in the air.
Nick (E'Louie)So do you all say anything?
Lauren (EZ)You.You make door?
Nick (E'Louie)Well, I didn't make it, but you wait.Stomp.Can you see inside?
Lauren (EZ)Yes, yes, Stump can see.
Lauren (EZ)Can we try and join you?
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)And why don't you join me, Sage?
Hana (Sage)Are you going through that door?
Nick (E'Louie)Sage?
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)Why don't you join us?Come with us.I think this is important.
Hana (Sage)And I'm like looking quickly back and forth between this process servers and the door and I'm just like, ah, if they go through there alone, they're going to die.So I go back and join them.
Corey (DM)Join them.
Corey (DM)Okay.It seems to be like if you go through the door and shut it, if none of you can see this, then possibly the process servers can't see this.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Hana (Sage)I'm just afraid that they're going to get like trapped in an alternate dimension.Automatic exploded or, you know, he's come.
Nick (E'Louie)Along, let's go inside together.
Nick (E'Louie)And as, as Lou walks in, you know, kind of takes a step or.
Nick (E'Louie)Two into the foyer again.
Corey (DM)He says hello, yeah.As you all walk in.So all of you are now in.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah, I'm going.
Corey (DM)Is someone shutting the door?So it kind of hides it again,.
Nick (E'Louie)You stage would be the last person.
Corey (DM)You shut the door.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Corey (DM)Yeah.As you shut the door from the outside, it looks like this door that was here just vanishes in the air and now just looks like an island with grass.
Hana (Sage)That just gave me the creeps.
Corey (DM)But all of you now inside can see.You see you are in an old farmhouse.And in this old farmhouse you see that it is completely run down.It looks like this has not been touched for centuries.
Hana (Sage)These.
Corey (DM)You notice that like in the corners there's like some skeletal remains that look kind of charred near like the fireplace area.
Nick (E'Louie)You notice that there's also the blender dimension.
Hana (Sage)I told you.
Corey (DM)You notice there's also like scratch marks along the walls.Some of the furniture has been turned over and there's like burn burnt marks on some of the furniture.And that's kind of what you see.But you also see like you were just in one big room.Other windows here, no windows.
Hana (Sage)Darn.
Nick (E'Louie)So.
Corey (DM)But there's like old furniture, blankets covering things.
Lauren (EZ)Why are we here?
Nick (E'Louie)And Louis says, be mindful.
Nick (E'Louie)These people have been there a long time.It looks like.Like, I hope we haven't walked into a trap, but I feel like today is a good day.I feel like there's supposed to be something that happens.
Corey (DM)Let's look around.
Nick (E'Louie)Maybe we can find the chu I.
Lauren (EZ)You have been blessed, so I would assume.
Hana (Sage)So he is allegedly lucky.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)So Louis kind of just walks into the room, just looking around, trying to see whatever else might be inside.Obviously looking for the chew.Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Investigation.
Corey (DM)Yeah, I was gonna say roaming.Investigation.You all can.Louie does have advantage on perception and investigation rules now.
Corey (DM)Nice.
Corey (DM)So, yeah, you will be rolling an Investigation with advantage.
Nick (E'Louie)10.
Corey (DM)10 With your advantage.
Nathan (Stump)I got a 12.
Corey (DM)12 For you.Okay.
Lauren (EZ)And then for me.
Nick (E'Louie)Come on, easy.Come on, Lauren.
Lauren (EZ)Thirteen.
Corey (DM)Thirteen.So easy's got the highest perception.We'll start with Louis.Louie, you're kind of looking around.You see a lot of furniture has been covered.A lot of stuff in here has been covered by like blankets.The charred remains of skeletal.They look humanoid.They look like they were probably humans.A couple.There's like four skeletal remains in the corners.Some the way they're kind of laid out, it's almost like they fell in that area.
Lauren (EZ)Don't.Don't play.
Nathan (Stump)But they all look like adults, each one of them.There's four skeletons.
Corey (DM)But you do notice that there's like blankets covering things, at least for cozy, you know.Yeah, Easy.You look.Easy.You look at that.You're looking around.You see there's a fireplace in the center on the far wall from where you all walk in, you know, past all the furniture that's been overturned and charred and scratch marks and everything.As you're looking at this like fireplace, you're like, okay, it looks like it hasn't been used in a while.There's a lot of ash in the fireplace.Lots of soot has not been cleaned out.But you do notice one thing different.You do is you're kind of looking around.You do notice that, like on you look up and onto the left and the right of the fireplace chimney that goes up.There are two nails on the left hand side and two nails on the right hand side at about like the six foot level.And they're spaced apart pretty differently.So like you have the center on.
Nick (E'Louie)A mantle or inside the fireplace, not.
Corey (DM)And so you see you have the chimney going up the center.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)And to the right about, I'm gonna say like three feet.There's like a steel nail in the wall into the wood.Sorry.And then about another four feet away is another steel nail on the other side.And then same thing on the other side.
Lauren (EZ)It reminds me of like when people are they like gonna try and catch our heads and then hang them on the wall?
Nick (E'Louie)Well, that or they're gonna hang stockings for Christmas.
Nathan (Stump)That's what I was thinking.
Lauren (EZ)That's a more whole.
Corey (DM)Exactly like that.Yeah.
Nathan (Stump)See how the ch.
Corey (DM)Tim gun up the center?Two nails on the left, two nails on the right, but spaced very different.
Nathan (Stump)Maybe they have a snoole boot here.Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)I think they want to.Oh, I. I have the heebie jeebies.
Hana (Sage)So do I.
Corey (DM)This is stump.What did you roll in perception?
Lauren (EZ)12.
Corey (DM)12 Stump you.As you're looking around too.So Louis, you know, you notice everything's covered Stump, you're kind of looking around too, and you're like pulling blankets off of stuff under here.You notice that there's like one thing you pull up.It's like a cupboard underneath it.And like broken dishes.1.1Ra blanket.You lift up, you notice there's like paintings.And then another one.You lift up, you notice there's just like garbage and like clothing underneath it.
Lauren (EZ)Weird place.
Nick (E'Louie)Painting under one and garbage and clothing.
Lauren (EZ)There's just more blankets under this one.
Lauren (EZ)Where are the paintings?
Nick (E'Louie)Louie wants to look around and see if the four skeletons remain resemble two small and two big ones.
Corey (DM)They all look to be about six foot tall.
Nick (E'Louie)All four.Okay.
Nathan (Stump)Okay, so.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, that's good.
Lauren (EZ)All we know is that these people owned a cat and also probably played with fire too much.Other than that, they just kind of stinky here.
Nick (E'Louie)So Louis wants to see if there's any other rooms on the first floor.Is it just a one big room?
Corey (DM)It is one big room.
Nick (E'Louie)One big room.
Corey (DM)No doors leading anywhere else but out.
Lauren (EZ)No have any.Like, are the paintings of anything that we can, I don't know, recognize or.
Nick (E'Louie)So there's paintings under one.
Nathan (Stump)Yeah, maybe here.Stump grabs one of the paintings.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Corey (DM)And when you go to the paintings, you notice there are four paintings.
Nathan (Stump)Yeah.Stump grabs one of the paintings and.
Lauren (EZ)He's like this painting feel wasted on the floor as.
Corey (DM)And it's like a big painting, you know, as you.You like pick it up and turn it around, you see a painting and it's a painting of a bunch of like small red devils, like torturing humans like fire.I expected deep red devils coming from the back of it.
Lauren (EZ)Guys, look at this.This painting.
Corey (DM)Oh, that's not very easy.Can you roll me a perception check real quick?
Lauren (EZ)I'm just like,.
Corey (DM)Okay, good.
Lauren (EZ)A dirty 20.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)As everyone is looking at these paintings, you hear a weird noise coming from behind you.
Nathan (Stump)I'm getting.I'm actually getting scared as you.That actually scared me.
Corey (DM)As everyone is looking down at these paintings, you know, they're all kind of talking about it and looking at it and.
Lauren (EZ)And just grabbed a cup, and it.
Corey (DM)Has a skeleton on it.
Hana (Sage)In fact, it has four skeletons on it.On it.
Corey (DM)Easy.You hear a noise behind you.As you turn around, you don't see anything, but as you look up, you see from the shadows of the rafters, something coming down slowly.It has eight.Has eight legs spread out.
Lauren (EZ)The painting is not that scary.
Corey (DM)It's red and furry, and you see.See little puckers of flame coming from this fire spider as it comes down.
Lauren (EZ)Spiders.Why are you doing this to yourself?
Hana (Sage)He knows how much I like spiders.
Lauren (EZ)You look like you've seen a ghost.
Corey (DM)Point up and what do you have?A few seconds to respond.What do you do?
Lauren (EZ)I, I, I get my.I, I was like.And so I get my long but elbow out to shoot an arrow at it.
Corey (DM)Cool.
Corey (DM)Take a shot.
Lauren (EZ)Don't shoot stuff.
Corey (DM)What are you doing with this?
Nick (E'Louie)What could go wrong?
Lauren (EZ)Okay, I put it down.And so 17 does not hit.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, crap.
Corey (DM)And this, like, arrow goes right by it as this thing, like, nimbly, like, body super fast, out of the way.
Lauren (EZ)The painting is not that bad.
Nick (E'Louie)I think you accidentally said a 17 didn't hit the.
Lauren (EZ)I did.
Corey (DM)And the rest of you hear the from the arrow as you turn around and you see the spider.It's very large in the corner, dropping, and it's like heat emanating from it.Little pockets of flames as it drops down.And let's roll for initiative.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, my God, we're gonna die just.
Lauren (EZ)Like the other people.
Corey (DM)All right, this is the order is going to be Luke Gooey, then Stump, then Spider, then Easy, and then Sage.You find yourself in a room.It's about 60 by 60.60Ft by 60ft in this room.And there's a bunch of, like, furniture and stuff around, but this thing is in the southern corner, coming down off the corner of the building.You all are back by the door where the paintings were.And Easy is, like, kind of jumped back.And that is where the four of you are clumped together.And this thing is about.We'll say it's about 50ft in front of you.Okay, so that's what you see, Louie.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, so we are together.It's 50ft ahead of us.
Corey (DM)Yep.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, well, in that case, I'm not going to be able to get there.
Nathan (Stump)You have plus 10 movement because of that.
Lauren (EZ)There it is.
Nick (E'Louie)Yep.
Lauren (EZ)I'm so happy.Every episode, Louie.
Nick (E'Louie)Jumps on the bicycle.
Nick (E'Louie)On.
Lauren (EZ)What's the bicycle sound like Back.That's a new one.
Nathan (Stump)It has a siren now.
Corey (DM)Sounds like this.
Lauren (EZ)Like a. Oh, like a Tommy gun.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)And then.
Nick (E'Louie)And heads toward the spider.He's.He's going in and he is going to pull out his bo staff.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)And he is going to do what he can to throw down on the bow staff.
Corey (DM)Do it.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.And dungeon master.Oh, dungeon master.Would you like me to do one at a time?
Corey (DM)Yes, please.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, so the first one is going to be a 19.
Corey (DM)Does not hit.
Nick (E'Louie)That's not true.
Nathan (Stump)We're dead.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, so.Okay, so we have to figure out.Okay, so this is a fire spider.So we need to think.We need to think like a fire spider.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)I'm sorry, but a 19 does not hit this spider.
Lauren (EZ)Normally when it's something fire, we have to be creative in the type of attack.So maybe just something, like, ordinary.It has to be maybe something ice or something.
Corey (DM)Okay, I follow you.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)So, okay, so illusion going to try to hit him again.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Nathan (Stump)From over here.Say it.Say, say what?
Nick (E'Louie)Son of a gun.
Corey (DM)It's a 16.Does not hit.
Lauren (EZ)So we got to be creative.
Nick (E'Louie)So this spider is very spidery.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Nick (E'Louie)And spicy.
Nathan (Stump)Spicy spider.
Nick (E'Louie)The two attacks that I got just went out the door.And then I'm going to.I'm going to do it.I'm going to spend a ki point and do a stunning strike.
Corey (DM)Don't you have to hit to do a stunning strike?
Nick (E'Louie)Why do you have to be so technical?
Corey (DM)You have to hit and then you spend the key point you always got to.
Nick (E'Louie)Do.
Nick (E'Louie)I have to.
Nick (E'Louie)But I don't have to hit with fury of blows.Okay, so I want to do fury of blows.But, Lauren, I think you're right.
Lauren (EZ)I love it when you say that.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, Just put it in the record book because it may never happen again.Maybe not, but I don't think this is a fighting.I think there's something else that we need to be thinking about.I agree, but I still really want to freaking hit this thing because it dodged two of my tags.Okay, so we're going to do fury blows this go round.And I've already used my movement, so there's not much else I could do.So here we go.And that gives me Two unarmed strikes.
Hana (Sage)Yep.
Corey (DM)So make the first one.
Nick (E'Louie)Come on, baby.Ooh, that's going to be what?Come on, cory.It's a 20.Wait, what's 18 and six?Four.
Corey (DM)Yeah, that hits.
Lauren (EZ)Come on, 24 hits.
Nick (E'Louie)Knew it.I knew it.It's so easy.
Corey (DM)So easy.
Nick (E'Louie)That hit.
Corey (DM)Is it all right?What do you do?
Nick (E'Louie)Does it meet Nikes?It's a 1D8.So let's see what happens here.No, not that one.
Lauren (EZ)You're using your fist.Fisticuffs this.
Nick (E'Louie)I'm punching a fire spider.
Nathan (Stump)I thought you had your bo staff.
Lauren (EZ)No, you.
Nathan (Stump)You had your bo staff out.
Lauren (EZ)You're.
Nick (E'Louie)But I'm.
Lauren (EZ)You're going to.You're going to have.You're going to take damage.
Nick (E'Louie)My feet are more callous, so I'm going to kick him with my left.
Lauren (EZ)You're going to get dam.
Corey (DM)Either way.It's melee.So how much.How much damage do you do?
Nick (E'Louie)All right, here we go.We're gonna do nine damage with my left foot.
Lauren (EZ)And then how much does Eloise so haft?
Corey (DM)We're gonna do five damage.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)And he's being kind.
Corey (DM)And after you hit it with your foot, you're gonna take four points of fire damage.Hot foot.Hot foot.
Nick (E'Louie)Hot.
Nick (E'Louie)Well, he's not attacking me, so I can't deflect fire.Okay, so four points.
Lauren (EZ)Four points for you.
Nick (E'Louie)Four points fire damage.Yep.Okay, got it.
Lauren (EZ)That's.
Hana (Sage)Can that be the commercial?
Nathan (Stump)Hot Foot Summer, you suffering from Hot Foot?
Lauren (EZ)What's up, guys?
Corey (DM)All right, you're gonna take your.
Corey (DM)Another.
Nick (E'Louie)Here we go.Come on.
Corey (DM)Well, second one I'm gonna get hit.So, yeah, you could choose not to take it if you want, but you're still spending the key point.
Nathan (Stump)Guys, I'm scared.
Nick (E'Louie)I'mma.I mean, what did I hit it for now?Nine?Yeah.No, five.Oh, sorry.
Corey (DM)Five.
Nick (E'Louie)He took half damage and it's 24.
Nick (E'Louie)Two hit.
Nathan (Stump)We don't know that.
Nick (E'Louie)Here we go.
Corey (DM)All right.
Nick (E'Louie)Hey, check it out.We're.I'm hitting again.18 And 8, so that'll do 26.Okay, so.
Corey (DM)It's got to be unarmed.
Nick (E'Louie)With my unfortunate left foot again, I'm like, damage.And then it's another seven now.
Corey (DM)All right, and then you're gonna take six points of fire damage.Oh, no.Six points of fire damage.And you've used your full movement, so you're still there.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, but if I.On A Fury of Blows, I can disengage and move 10ft.
Nathan (Stump)Oh, really?
Corey (DM)Okay.That's what you want to Do.
Nathan (Stump)I don't like that.
Nick (E'Louie)Ow.Ow.
Corey (DM)And then I'm like, oh.
Nick (E'Louie)And then I'm like.And then I roll out back 10ft.
Corey (DM)Oh, my God.Perfect.
Nick (E'Louie)I'm just like, picturing back toward the group.
Corey (DM)Towards the group.Okay, cool stump.You see that, Eloise between you all?This thing is 50ft away.Yep, it is.
Corey (DM)Your turn.
Nathan (Stump)All right.
Nick (E'Louie)I just got burned twice.
Nathan (Stump)So I'm still holding that painting.And he's like.And he kind of puts it on the ground, like, just drops it.And he's going to go into a rage and go up next to Elui and he's going to attack recklessly.
Corey (DM)Well, what is your movement?
Nathan (Stump)Oh, sorry, I didn't even think.
Lauren (EZ)Because he.
Corey (DM)Eloi is.He was 45.So Eli is 35ft away from you.
Nathan (Stump)I believe it is.Okay, So I have 40ft plus 10.
Nick (E'Louie)You have 40ft movement.
Lauren (EZ)I'm a big guy.
Corey (DM)Oh, that's true.Yeah.So he has 50ft of total.So, yeah, you can go long legs.You can go all the way up to the spider if you want.
Nathan (Stump)Okay, I do that.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Nathan (Stump)And I attack recklessly.
Corey (DM)All right, so you have advantage.
Nathan (Stump)I do.
Nick (E'Louie)Come on.
Nathan (Stump)That's nat 20.Doesn't hit.
Corey (DM)Nat20 always hits.
Nathan (Stump)Oh, okay.
Corey (DM)All right, so you have three things you can do.Remember on that 20s.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)One, you're gonna do the full damage.So what's your damage on?
Nathan (Stump)So I tap recklessly, so I have a bonus.My damage is.It is one D12 plus four.
Corey (DM)So you can take the 12 plus four is 16.
Nathan (Stump)And then.
Corey (DM)So now go ahead and roll a D12 again.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)Because you're gonna get the 16 automatically.
Nathan (Stump)I got four plus four plus not to the damage.Yeah, plus four.So.And then because I attack recklessly, I also get.
Lauren (EZ)Get.
Nathan (Stump)I have frenzy.I get.I deal an additional 2D6.
Corey (DM)Oh, dang.So roll another 2D6.
Nathan (Stump)This is my.That's an eight.
Lauren (EZ)You're going to murder normal dice.
Nathan (Stump)Okay, I got three.
Corey (DM)Okay.On both dice.
Nathan (Stump)Yeah, I should have used yours.
Corey (DM)So that's 27 damage divided by half.So it's going to take.Take 14 damage.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)On that.So it's not a lot of damage.
Nathan (Stump)For really good roll.
Corey (DM)Like, now, remember what I said, when you do an at 20, you also get to choose an additional effect.Oh, that's something interesting you think would like to happen.But you can't be like, he dies.
Nathan (Stump)Or he explodes when I hit him.The mystery is revealed.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, okay.
Corey (DM)Actually, actually.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)At least a portion of it actually.Actually, so when you hit him, soot, like, falls off of him.Like, soot kind of goes up in the air.And as a sit goes up in the air, it like hits the back wall and it kind of falls down.But you notice, like around the nails, the soot sticks.Except for this, like, vertical rectangle.
Nick (E'Louie)Silhouette of a picture.
Corey (DM)Silhouette of a painting.
Nathan (Stump)Totally what Stump was going to do.
Lauren (EZ)So put the paint.
Nathan (Stump)But decisions were made and here I am right in front of the spider.
Corey (DM)But you know what's funny?
Nick (E'Louie)Nobody sees it.
Lauren (EZ)Spider's turn.
Corey (DM)Just kidding.It's a spider's turn.
Nick (E'Louie)Like, funny, huh?
Nathan (Stump)Can I just say, that's so funny.
Corey (DM)Hilarious.So Stump is right up next to the spider.
Lauren (EZ)Great.
Nathan (Stump)Here we go, Louise.
Corey (DM)A couple feet away.And the spider is going to two.He's going to just straight up bite Stump.
Nathan (Stump)He's going to murder America's sweetheart.
Hana (Sage)Oh, no.
Corey (DM)Oh, gosh.I rolled so low.14.It was never meant to your AC.
Nathan (Stump)Wow, that just barely doesn't hit.
Corey (DM)Okay, well, he does have an extra attack.And so what we're going to do.Well, the funny thing about the spider.Zealand.He only has one thing he can do.
Nathan (Stump)Oh, I.
Corey (DM)Well, he has a lot of things he can do, but at this point, you can only do one thing, which is just bite.Because just.Yeah, so he's gonna bite again.
Nathan (Stump)Okay, I. Oh,.
Corey (DM)That is a nat 20.
Nathan (Stump)I will say for just future reference, I didn't.I have two attacks.
Corey (DM)Oh, shoot, shoot, shoot.Sorry, sorry.No, you can go ahead and take it.
Nathan (Stump)That's on.On me.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Nathan (Stump)I should have.
Nick (E'Louie)You sure?
Nathan (Stump)Yes, I'm sure.That's on.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, listen up, dnd players.You have to know your character.
Nathan (Stump)I just wanted to say it out loud so that I can remember.Shame.And next time, remember.
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Corey (DM)Corey rolled a 20, so that's.
Nathan (Stump)That's cool.So.Well, not for me, but let's.
Corey (DM)It's cool for you.
Nathan (Stump)I'm happy for you.
Nick (E'Louie)That's.That's actually going to be probably pretty serious.
Nathan (Stump)Murder, Stump.Do it.
Hana (Sage)Do it.
Nathan (Stump)Murder.
Nick (E'Louie)Stomp it is the way I'm the most invested.The dice.The D. Cory, don't be soft.
Corey (DM)Oh, I'm not.
Nick (E'Louie)Do it.
Corey (DM)Okay, so this is the B.
Corey (DM)Like a lot.
Nick (E'Louie)Do you have so many dice in your hand?
Nathan (Stump)That's a lot.
Corey (DM)6, 12, 17.So it's 20 damage from just the bite.There's going to be a little extra fire damage.So that's just the bite.
Nathan (Stump)Oh, okay.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Lauren (EZ)What are you down.
Nick (E'Louie)What are you down to?
Nick (E'Louie)What did you just.How much damage did you take?
Nathan (Stump)Well, I'm waiting for fire.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)So now this is the fire part.Okay.Oh, another three damage of fire.
Nathan (Stump)23.
Lauren (EZ)And then.Are you like.
Nathan (Stump)I'm at 32 hit points.
Hana (Sage)Oh, good.
Corey (DM)So you still did.And he disengages.
Nathan (Stump)Okay.
Corey (DM)And he crawls up to the ceiling and kind of like crawls halfway between you and you all.So he's kind of halfway between the party.And it is now easy turn.
Lauren (EZ)So.
Nick (E'Louie)And the ceiling is 10V.
Corey (DM)Yeah, it's just a short feeling.Like you could hit this thing on the ceiling.
Lauren (EZ)So.
Nathan (Stump)Everyone saw the soot?
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.So.And then I was already thinking, like, it has to be something interesting.So I'm gonna go for the paintings.We're putting them on the wall, right?
Nathan (Stump)I would think so.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.So that's.That's what I surmised.So I.
Nathan (Stump)Which painting do you get?
Lauren (EZ)Oh, the one that looks most like.
Hana (Sage)It fits in the space.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)So I think I said if there are four paintings.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah, yeah.
Corey (DM)You've looked at one so far.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, so I will take the one.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Corey (DM)And you notice that it is a small painting of small red devils torturing humans with, like, red fire and deep crimson paint around us.
Hana (Sage)Need a long rectangular one.
Corey (DM)Okay, so what are you gonna do with that?
Lauren (EZ)So it needs to go on the wall, but there's probably a position it needs to go.
Corey (DM)I don't know.
Lauren (EZ)Probably because you look for the Riddle Man.Okay, so do I.
Nick (E'Louie)It's called the Riddler.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, no, it's the Riddle Man.
Corey (DM)Okay, the Riddle Man.
Lauren (EZ)Do I see, like, any.
Corey (DM)Like, you just see four nails in four spots where the soot hit, and you see four outlines, and they all look the.
Corey (DM)These.
Corey (DM)All these paintings are the exact same dimensions.
Nick (E'Louie)That's unfortunate.
Corey (DM)But you've only seen the one that you've turned over so far.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, so.So how many paintings can I carry at a time?
Lauren (EZ)Oh, good question.
Nathan (Stump)Yeah, you're very small and have very.
Nick (E'Louie)Short arms, but you're strong.
Hana (Sage)But I'm strong.
Nathan (Stump)Also strong.
Corey (DM)Two.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.So I will carry two.And I will put.What's the second one look like?
Corey (DM)So here's the thing.We're in combat, right?So you can look at the other painting as an action.
Lauren (EZ)I get that.
Corey (DM)Or you can just take both of them and use dash as an action to get there quicker.But you won't be able to look at the painting.So you can look at the painting and then only move your normal amount.
Lauren (EZ)Interesting that you would say that.Okay.So because we're in.
Corey (DM)So you can only do certain things you have six seconds of.Yeah, that's how dnd.Where's.You have six seconds on your turn in real life.So, okay, you can either look at the painting or grab two and run,.
Lauren (EZ)Dash, and then put one up, and.
Corey (DM)Then you can do one painting because you can't do both.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, so I can carry two, but I can only put one up?
Corey (DM)Correct.
Corey (DM)Make a decision.All right, you got six seconds.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.Dash, hang Red devils.
Corey (DM)Okay, so you dash.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Corey (DM)And you hang the red devils.Where?But the first spot.The far left first spot.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Okay, you hang it.And it is hung.
Nick (E'Louie)We're now.
Corey (DM)And it is now.We are gonna die.Did you pick up.
Nick (E'Louie)Do we.
Nick (E'Louie)Did you pick up the stuff?
Nick (E'Louie)Second photo?
Corey (DM)Yeah, she picked both of them up.But you have the second one.She just hung the first one.
Nathan (Stump)I love this.Like, we're going to die.Everything.Hey, I support you though everything.
Nick (E'Louie)You totally screwed us.
Hana (Sage)Okay.
Corey (DM)All right, Sage, you are just kidding.
Nick (E'Louie)Supported.
Hana (Sage)How close do I have to do to B2B?
Corey (DM)So he is now just 25ft in front of you.
Hana (Sage)I guess I will whip out my sword and attack it then.
Corey (DM)Oh, first time we're getting to see that energy sword.The void Blade, everyone.Just so you know, though, this void blade has a plus 11.And the cool thing about this void Blade is you can cast the darkness spell.
Nathan (Stump)Yo, this is gonna work.
Lauren (EZ)This is gonna do it.
Nathan (Stump)Some kind of hollow void.
Nick (E'Louie)What does it look?
Corey (DM)All right, go ahead and roll to attack a 20.
Hana (Sage)Yes.
Corey (DM)Yeah, do 20.
Lauren (EZ)It's.
Corey (DM)You get plus 11.
Nathan (Stump)I didn't get.
Hana (Sage)Okay, you're never gonna believe this.
Corey (DM)Oh, you rolled a NAT one.Oh, my gosh.Oh, you're supposed to.
Nick (E'Louie)To be cool.
Corey (DM)You're supposed to be the protector and you roll a NAT one.
Nathan (Stump)What have you done?
Hana (Sage)Guys, it's been this kind of day.Guys, it's been this kind of day.Dead ass.
Corey (DM)So we'll say that, like, you are so worked up over making sure they're doing okay.
Hana (Sage)And the porpoise hor.
Corey (DM)Yeah.And so you're just like porpoise.You go to attack it, but you don't realize that sheet that was thrown over from the paintings is down at your feet.And you, like, trip up in it and just, like, fall and your fur just gets so dirty.
Nathan (Stump)Oh, sorry.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, brutal.That's, like, the worst thing I've ever heard.
Corey (DM)So you move five feet and fall and just, like, you get covered in soots.
Hana (Sage)Oh, no.
Corey (DM)But you do have another attack if you'd like to take it.You do have two attacks.
Lauren (EZ)Get back up.
Nick (E'Louie)You can do this.And you're prone, but that's only half movement.Yeah, you can stand back up.
Hana (Sage)Yep, I stand up.And I don't take the time to dust myself off because I have to protect my kids.
Nick (E'Louie)Wow, that's.That's heart.You got heart.
Corey (DM)That's a 12 plus 11.It's 23, baby.That'll do it.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah, it does.
Corey (DM)All right, your damage is a D10 plus 7.
Hana (Sage)10.
Nathan (Stump)It's a very good sword.Before sage leaves us, you should, like, leave your energy sword to easy so that will be overpowered forever and it'll.
Lauren (EZ)Annoy Cory and make Corey man Cory annoyed.
Corey (DM)Oh, it wouldn't make me mad.
Hana (Sage)If I die and drop harder.If I die and drop loot.Easy is the one who will loot my corpse.
Corey (DM)I will cry.
Hana (Sage)That's a three.
Corey (DM)All right, so that is a three plus seven.So 10 damage.It's not nothing, which it takes full amount.
Corey (DM)Magical weapon.
Corey (DM)Sage magics how this fire spider dies, yo.
Nathan (Stump)For real awesome, dude.
Nick (E'Louie)But super squishy.
Nick (E'Louie)Is she.
Corey (DM)Yep, that's it.
Hana (Sage)Sometimes all you need is like, like a slicing damage and a magical weapon.Okay, so the fire spider is gross and hot and, like, so hot.It's sparkly and awesome.
Nathan (Stump)Describe how it's hot anyway.
Hana (Sage)Like the.The.The, like road on road in summer.Like, waves are kind of behind it.Like, you can see it radiating heat.It's a very hot spider.But I, like, get up there with my awesome sparkly sword and it cuts through it and you, like, see the, like, blood and.And sparkles from the sword flowing off of it, and it just, like, drops in a heap on the floor.
Nathan (Stump)Plop.
Nick (E'Louie)This is like crackly sparkly.
Corey (DM)Like, you know how spiders do that thing where, like, they curl their legs up so as this spider falls to the floor and its legs curl up, you see it start to convulse.And I need everybody to make a dexterity saving throw.
Nathan (Stump)I have advantage.
Corey (DM)Yes, you do.
Nathan (Stump)Do I got a nat 20.
Corey (DM)Nice.
Lauren (EZ)There's been so many.
Nick (E'Louie)Wow.
Corey (DM)You are.I'm going to say you take no damage.
Nick (E'Louie)One NAT one and two.
Corey (DM)I roll the NAT 20.
Nathan (Stump)I got two NAT 20s this session.
Lauren (EZ)Three.
Nick (E'Louie)Dang.
Corey (DM)All right.
Corey (DM)What everyone else roll.
Lauren (EZ)So what was it?
Corey (DM)Dexterity saving throw.
Lauren (EZ)I being scared.
Corey (DM)No, you're not.It's a saving throw.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Means you're trying to get out of the way.Has nothing to do with being frightened.
Nathan (Stump)But this is a really scary situation.
Lauren (EZ)It's so.
Nick (E'Louie)You seem really concerned about being scared.
Corey (DM)She has advantage on being frightened.Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Nathan (Stump)This paintings are very.
Corey (DM)I need to know what your numbers are.18.Okay.
Lauren (EZ)I love you so much, Husband.
Corey (DM)Yes.
Lauren (EZ)12.
Lauren (EZ)12.
Corey (DM)Okay, so sage and Easy do not make the save.
Hana (Sage)I can do something to.I can do something to do that it again.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Nathan (Stump)Rabbit's foot ability.
Corey (DM)Rapid's foot ability.
Lauren (EZ)I have a.
Hana (Sage)Indomitable.
Corey (DM)Indomitable.
Corey (DM)What does that do?
Hana (Sage)If you fail a saving throw, you can re roll with a plus 10 bonus.You must use the new roll.
Corey (DM)Oh heck yeah, dude.Good lord.But you think you have to spell spend a.It's like a psionic die to do that.
Nick (E'Louie)Indomitable.
Corey (DM)But yeah, you haven't spent any yet.So yeah, you're good.Go ahead and roll plus 10.
Hana (Sage)It.That's a nine.
Corey (DM)Oh yeah.
Corey (DM)You're fine then.
Lauren (EZ)Good.
Corey (DM)All right.
Corey (DM)Easy.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.I have this thing called tactical mind.This is.But this isn't an ability check, is it?
Corey (DM)It is an ability.Well, no, it's a saving throw.Sorry.It's different than ability check.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.Because it says I could add a D10 if I wanted.
Corey (DM)Sorry.This is a saving throw, not an ability check.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.And this is not a melee.
Corey (DM)No.So Lauren Easy is going to take the damage.Damage.
Nathan (Stump)And this isn't scary at all.
Corey (DM)Not scary at all.
Lauren (EZ)You're literally taking for me.
Corey (DM)So this spider explodes and fire goes everywhere.The rest of you were able to kind of just like cover up.But easy.You hit this blast of heat as you just take seven points of fire.
Nathan (Stump)Oh, good grief.
Nick (E'Louie)Eloise jumps on top of the painting so they don't get scorched.
Corey (DM)Perfect.
Lauren (EZ)And then I like, can I like burp a little flame?
Corey (DM)Sure.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.
Corey (DM)Seven fire damage.As you all kind dust yourselves off.You like see like new scarred like flames on the wall.Everything looks a little more black from everything.But we are now out of initiative.
Hana (Sage)We live.
Nick (E'Louie)That was hard.
Nick (E'Louie)Hard hitting.
Hana (Sage)I fell on my face.
Corey (DM)Squishy.
Nick (E'Louie)Super squishy.
Nathan (Stump)Out of curiosity, what was its AC20?
Lauren (EZ)It was.
Nathan (Stump)And total hit points?
Corey (DM)26.All right.
Nick (E'Louie)Wow.
Corey (DM)He's squishy, but he's powerful and like his armor from like the fire and stuff.Stuff.But like you do every time you.
Nick (E'Louie)Hit him, you get hurt.
Corey (DM)If it's melee, you also get burned.He has immunities to like or resistance to slashing, budgeting, anything that's non magical.That's hilarious because that's all of us.
Nick (E'Louie)Except for Sage, the one okay, so that was wonderfully put together.
Hana (Sage)And you got to meet my cool sword.
Nick (E'Louie)And the other thing is just like Nathan forgot his second attack.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah, I did that.
Nick (E'Louie)I have a uncanny metabolism.Anytime initiative happens.I. I only had.I started out with 38 points.I should have up to 43 and I could have rolled my 1D8 to increase my temporary hit points.I forgot.So that's important and all.
Nathan (Stump)That's because you can digest really well.
Nick (E'Louie)Hilarious how good my metabolism is.
Corey (DM)All right, so you find yourselves in this, you know, this.This barn here, this farmhouse.You notice that there are the four spots on the wall.Easy has hung a picture of red small devils torturing humans.On the far left side, this fire spider is dead.But you do notice, like up in that corner where the spider came down, there is a bunch of big spider webs and like a bunch of white sacks.
Nathan (Stump)Oh, great.That's so nice.
Corey (DM)And just so you know.
Nathan (Stump)And great.
Corey (DM)Just so you know.
Lauren (EZ)So great.
Corey (DM)So what would you all like to do?That was very scary, but you are out of initiative, so.
Lauren (EZ)Hey, Easy Stump.Notice you decorating during Fight for our Life.
Lauren (EZ)No.
Nick (E'Louie)She's on to something, isn't she?
Lauren (EZ)Oh, really?
Lauren (EZ)Is there a puzzle somehow?So, okay, so paintings.We need to look at the rest of the paintings.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, so we go look at the paintings.What are they?Tell us.
Corey (DM)So do you grab all three paintings and like flip them over?
Nick (E'Louie)Flip them over and look at them.And we're got one with the devil.Like a little bunch of devil guys trying to do something to somebody.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Corey (DM)Yep.So the first painting is a painting of small red devils torturing humans.There's like red fire in the background.The second painting you see is a beautiful depiction of the verdant greens.Lush green grass growing everywhere, vines, jungle.The third painting you find is a painting of a beautiful sunset over an ocean.It's a painting painted orange sky.That looks so lovely.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Corey (DM)Lots of orange and deep orange colors in it.And the third one you see or the fourth one you see is a depiction of a town during the fall.Pumpkins are adorned throughout the picture.It is very pumpkin heavy.Very fall amber colors.And those are the four picture.The four paintings you see.
Nathan (Stump)Gotcha.
Lauren (EZ)That I don't know any connection to.
Nathan (Stump)So these paintings are different sizes, correct?
Lauren (EZ)No, they're the same.
Corey (DM)They're all the same.Exactly.
Nick (E'Louie)We got.We got guys.We got bad guys torturing someone.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Nathan (Stump)We've got demons.We've got the verdant green.We've got a sunset and We've got pumpkins.
Corey (DM)Pumpkins.
Lauren (EZ)Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)So what does it mean?
Nick (E'Louie)What is the story here?
Lauren (EZ)So I'm continuing to tap into your barf.
Corey (DM)Tap into it.
Nick (E'Louie)By the way, I am super curious what the barf does right now.I just get.I get advantage on perception and.
Nick (E'Louie)And investigation.
Lauren (EZ)So maybe you should investigate.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, I'm going to investigate.Investigate.
Nathan (Stump)Hannah, what did you say earlier?You said poipus porpoise.
Lauren (EZ)Poipus porpoise.
Hana (Sage)Hor.
Lauren (EZ)Porpus hor.
Hana (Sage)Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)So great.
Hana (Sage)I think that's a Bob's Burgers line.
Nathan (Stump)Makes sense.It's a great show.
Hana (Sage)It is.
Nick (E'Louie)I guess I want to investigate the.
Lauren (EZ)Crap out of there.
Nick (E'Louie)I don't know if it's investigation or insight.If like, if I'm like, I want to know.I want to try to have some insight on how these paintings go together.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Nick (E'Louie)I don't know.
Corey (DM)Yeah, I mean, what are we looking at?
Nick (E'Louie)We're looking at the.
Lauren (EZ)We're trying to figure out.
Nick (E'Louie)It's a progression of good to bad or from light to dark.
Nathan (Stump)What we're asking you, Corey, is can Nick roll so good that he solves it?
Corey (DM)No.
Nathan (Stump)No.
Corey (DM)Sorry.What were you saying, Sage?
Hana (Sage)Didn't Finch remind you guys to commit some things to memory?Weren't you supposed to remember some stuff?
Corey (DM)Oh, yes.
Hana (Sage)Some stuff that you might have written down in your notes.
Nathan (Stump)Here we go.Here we go in the notes right here.Let me consult the lexicon.
Corey (DM)Wait, you wrote them down?
Lauren (EZ)He told us not to.
Corey (DM)He told you not to write them down, but to commit them to memory.
Nick (E'Louie)No, no, these are definitely not.We did not.
Hana (Sage)Not in world Notes.
Nick (E'Louie)Definitely.
Lauren (EZ)We're going to the brain files.
Corey (DM)Eloise.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah.
Corey (DM)You began to have another vision.And it brings you back to the time when you saw Finch in a.
Hana (Sage)Very Jeremy X. Matt, you know?
Corey (DM)Yeah.He was like in a very sad state.Very beat up, very hurt.And he was telling you all something very important.He was like, you know what?
Hana (Sage)It.
Corey (DM)This is so important that you should totally commit this to memory and never ever forget this because of how important this is.
Nick (E'Louie)We're so brutal.How you did.We wrote it down.
Corey (DM)Oh, and I. I up.So the three things.
Hana (Sage)It's been that kind of day.
Corey (DM)The three things that Finch told you.And you see this?You were on the outside looking at Easy Eloise.I remember Stump listening to this.
Lauren (EZ)Nathan, you wrote it down.
Corey (DM)Sage is also there.But you also notice that Sage is like not paying attention to this part intentionally.Cuz Sage is not supposed to know.And you were noticing this Louie.Like Sage is intentionally, like, covering.Covering their ears.Because this was meant for you three only.And you.You're listening through the speech.That's that Finch gave.And you see him in a distance as the same thing.Your eyes are glossing over.That's white.But you just see Finch, and you see him say three things, not in the correct order, but you see the three things.The first thing is divisible by three.And you hear him say divisible by three.And the second thing you hear him say is red, orange, green, orange.
Lauren (EZ)There it is.
Corey (DM)Red, orange, green, orange.And the third thing you hear Finch say is left, right, right, left, left.That was left, right, right, right, left, left.And the vision fades.
Lauren (EZ)So we got red in the right spot.
Nick (E'Louie)Hold on.
Nathan (Stump)It's right here.I've got it written right.
Corey (DM)Did you find it?Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)Right above the thing.
Nathan (Stump)To me, it looked like gobbledygook because I didn't put it.I didn't label it at all.I mean, I knew that.That I need that.
Corey (DM)Cut all that out.
Nick (E'Louie)Yeah, yeah.
Nathan (Stump)All right.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.What do you.
Nathan (Stump)And we start here.All right, we start here.
Lauren (EZ)What do you got, Nick?It seems like you have it figured out.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh, this is so easy.
Lauren (EZ)So easy.Just do it.
Nathan (Stump)What you write down, I wrote down invisible by three.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Nathan (Stump)Red, orange, green, orange.
Nick (E'Louie)Left, right, right, left, left.
Nick (E'Louie)I thought the left, right, left, left, right was like.Was going through the town.
Nathan (Stump)It was.But also other things.
Corey (DM)This was after.
Nick (E'Louie)No, there was after we.He met Sage.And it was when Finch was all beat up.
Corey (DM)After you did the whole left or right thing.So this is a different left.
Nathan (Stump)Sometimes other things are left and right.
Nick (E'Louie)That's right.
Corey (DM)He was all beat up.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay, not hard.
Lauren (EZ)So easy.
Nick (E'Louie)Let's look at the paintings again.
Lauren (EZ)Okay, so red and then pumpkins.
Nathan (Stump)And guess what.And guess what.And guess what.We've got demons that are red.
Corey (DM)Yes.
Nathan (Stump)We've got green.We've got a sunset.That is probably blue, orange and.But pumpkins are orange, bro.
Lauren (EZ)But there's two.
Hana (Sage)Which Orange is orange.
Nathan (Stump)There's two oranges.
Nick (E'Louie)So put them in the order that we know.
Corey (DM)That would be.
Nathan (Stump)Okay, so we would go.Demons.
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.We put the demons.The sunset.
Nathan (Stump)Pumpkins.
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.
Nathan (Stump)Verdant green, verdigrain, then sunset.
Nick (E'Louie)Which is exactly how it is.
Corey (DM)Is that what you all do?
Nick (E'Louie)Yes, we put it on the nails.
Nathan (Stump)Yeah.
Corey (DM)So as you all, like, you know, the first painting, second painting, the third painting, fourth painting.Painting.As you get that fourth painting up, you all kind of stand back.You're like, looking around the room, and then all of a sudden you feel a.
Nick (E'Louie)Oh.
Corey (DM)As the ground vibrates a little bit.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, sorry.
Corey (DM)And where the fireplace is, you see the back of the fireplace wall just go straight up.
Corey (DM)Yes.
Corey (DM)And you see a stairwell that descends down.
Nick (E'Louie)Are we going into a dungeon?
Hana (Sage)We solved his haunted house puzzle.
Corey (DM)You solved my farm Finch number one puzzle.Yes, yes.So one thing Finch told you has now come to fruition.
Nick (E'Louie)Thank you.
Hana (Sage)Mark it off.
Nick (E'Louie)And boom, big time.We're going.
Lauren (EZ)We're going down.
Corey (DM)Are you going downtown?
Nick (E'Louie)Dungeons.
Corey (DM)Okay, so you all head downstairs.
Nathan (Stump)Absolutely.
Corey (DM)Yeah, yeah.You head downstairs and you head down.And one second door.
Nick (E'Louie)If I have Darfish.So I'm going to go first.
Nathan (Stump)I was certain Corey was going to go.And that's where we'll pick up.
Corey (DM)Nope.
Nick (E'Louie)I don't know.
Nathan (Stump)We're still going.
Nick (E'Louie)That's where we'll going to.
Nathan (Stump)Check your phone.
Corey (DM)Hey, check your phone.
Hana (Sage)I'm busy.
Corey (DM)Having an experience.They are in the moment.
Nathan (Stump)Kids these days are never on their phones.
Corey (DM)Now you.You head down these stairs.Stairs.It is a long journey down these stairs.Oh, you're thinking like, okay, we've got to be like.As you're going down these stairs, it's like, okay, we've got to be like past the ocean floor at this point.Like, we've got to go.That's how deep this is.You've kind of got to go and pass the ocean at this point.That's 60ft.Yeah, it is very far.It leads to a large room.Yeah, it's definitely colder and damp in here.
Lauren (EZ)Here.
Corey (DM)But it leads to a very large room.
Nathan (Stump)I know your hot foot is hurting right now.
Corey (DM)And in this large room, you see a few things.Okay, you see at the very far end of this room, you see a large statue of a human woman.Has something covering her eyes, and she's holding her hand stand out, and she has a scared expression on her face, but she is completely made of stone.And you see to the left of her on a.On a pillar that only comes up about 4ft out of the ground, like a pedestal.Pedestal.Thank you.That's what I was looking for, a pedestal.You see a glass dome on this pedestal.And inside this glass dome, you see what appears to be a chew toy.Yo, that's what we're here for.
Lauren (EZ)Yo, yo, yo.
Corey (DM)This is gonna be so easy.
Nick (E'Louie)We're just gonna take it off and.
Corey (DM)Take the chew toy.
Lauren (EZ)It's not like, what is it?Indiana Jones, where you have to like,.
Nick (E'Louie)Are we about to sleep Right now.Are we about to sleep at the foot of the stairs for 8 hours?Hours.
Nathan (Stump)Let's take a long rest.I'd love.
Nick (E'Louie)We're just gonna fall asleep in this dungeon.
Nathan (Stump)Absolutely.
Corey (DM)I mean, if you want to take a long rest, we could say everyone sleeps for eight hours.
Nathan (Stump)I would love that.
Lauren (EZ)No.
Nick (E'Louie)Are we gonna fight something?We kind of didn't fight a spider already.
Corey (DM)You don't know.
Nick (E'Louie)So I want to do an investigation because I'm.Oh, actually, I get.I get a some.Because of the.
Corey (DM)You have advantage on exception or investigation.
Nick (E'Louie)I'd like to do an investigation on the pillar.
Corey (DM)Pillar itself.Okay.Yeah.
Nathan (Stump)And then.
Corey (DM)So do it on the pillar first.Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)Now the pillar first.
Nathan (Stump)Does he get any minuses for hot foot?
Corey (DM)No.
Nick (E'Louie)And I would like to not get.
Corey (DM)Too hot, too close to it.
Nick (E'Louie)I'd like to keep some distance.
Corey (DM)Okay.
Corey (DM)Absolutely.
Lauren (EZ)Okay.Okay.
Corey (DM)This.Oh, it's a natural.I will give you more than just the pillar.
Nathan (Stump)Then Nick is doing the same.Stuck it with his hand several episodes.
Corey (DM)So you walk up to the pillar.You approach the pillar.It has the glass dome on top.And you see, like, inside is the chew of loyalty.A chew toy.And it is physical in there.Like, it.As you get close, you're like, okay, this is a legitimate thing that is in here is a physical item.But this glass dome seems to attach to that pillar.And it doesn't seem to be like a leg you can just pull off.It seems to be attached to that pillar.Like, embedded.But I will give you also this with a good roll to the left.If you have the statue, the woman with her hand out, she has a sign around her neck.And as you get closer, you can read it.The sign says, do not touch until one is chosen.
Lauren (EZ)Well, that's you.
Nathan (Stump)We got a chosen guy, I think, maybe.
Corey (DM)And it says, seek around the room.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Hana (Sage)Investigate, everyone.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.So I would say I think that Elui was he.
Corey (DM)Well, he felt it.
Nick (E'Louie)He didn't constantly.Well, it was his constitution.He didn't have it.And I thought that was cool.But anyway, so now.But I think that maybe there might be another chosen.So let's look around.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Corey (DM)Was.
Corey (DM)Why doesn't everybody roll me investigation checks?
Nathan (Stump)Oh, I'm so good at that.I almost thought that 14 minus 2,.
Nick (E'Louie)That's a 12 is my nice on my advantage still.
Corey (DM)Everyone's kind of looking around.Like, this room, it's kind of round in nature.But the only thing that you really see in here is the statue, the pillar, and the dome.But Sage you find something tucked away in a crevice in the wall.You find a scroll and you pull this scroll out, scratch it out with.
Hana (Sage)My little rabbit glow up.
Corey (DM)Yeah.
Corey (DM)You're able to like pull it out of the wall because it blends in really well.It looks like a rock.But you were able to with the time you took, you found.Okay, I'm gonna pull this out.Yep, it's a scroll that was disguised to look like a rock for maybe those who aren't worthy to find it.
Hana (Sage)I don't know.
Corey (DM)But you find the scroll, you open it up and the scold.The scroll describes the chew of loyalty and it talks about how.And like I said, this is just you reading this.That the chew of loyalty can only be taken.Can only be taken when there is one who is willing to make a sacrifice.That in order for the church you to be taken someone has to be left behind in its place.
Lauren (EZ)I knew it.
Corey (DM)Yeah.And so that's what you're reading from the scroll.And whenever you were reading that and you look up, you now see that this statue of this woman who has her hand out is now no one else can see this but only you.You see this is now like outlined in like a blue aura.This statue, you.And the chew of Loyty is also pulsing this blue.And you realize this hand that is reaching out is what is like saying take my hand.
Nathan (Stump)Stump comes over to Sage and he puts his hand on her shoulder and.
Lauren (EZ)He's like, you know, you haven't been here with us for too long.But Stump is looking forward to a long relationship.Stump think you stick around probably forever and help us until we grow old.
Hana (Sage)And I turn around and I hug stomp.Oh, and I say I would love to have so many more adventures with you, buddy.
Lauren (EZ)Well, of course.
Hana (Sage)And I look to the whole group and I say, you, you.This world needs you.
Lauren (EZ)I reach for your soft little hand.Yes.
Hana (Sage)What this world needs the nomolies to restore balance, peace, equality to the people of this world.And the requirement for that balance is my life.
Lauren (EZ)What?
Nick (E'Louie)Well, are you sure about that?
Hana (Sage)Yes, because someone.The scroll says.The scroll I just found.Look at this.It says one of us needs to stay behind in order for the Chew to leave the room.So there's one obvious person.
Nick (E'Louie)Obvious.Obviously it's me.I've lived a long life.
Hana (Sage)Incorrect.You got horked on by the porpoise.The world may need your luck most of all.Especially without me.
Lauren (EZ)Stump should have kept his fud.
Hana (Sage)I don't think the Fud would have helped, buddy.
Nick (E'Louie)Fud.
Lauren (EZ)Not good enough.
Hana (Sage)But you are good enough.Stump, remember to speak up.Especially because not everybody listens to something.Somebody who's big and slow.But that just means you have more time to think, right?
Lauren (EZ)Thank you, Sage.
Nick (E'Louie)Sage, are you sure you want to do this?
Hana (Sage)I think it's what I'm meant to do.I've made my.My life has been a fantastic adventure, but I. I have made my peace.And I knew that I probably wouldn't be coming back from this, frankly.
Lauren (EZ)Before you go, can we get one more good crunch, please?
Hana (Sage)Of course, of course, of course.I was trying to think.Do I have any more sage wisdom for you kids?
Lauren (EZ)Sage wisdom?
Hana (Sage)Sage?
Lauren (EZ)Oh, Stump kid is sage wisdom.That's why you're sage.
Hana (Sage)Yeah, speak up for yourself, Louie.Keep doing what you're doing.Rock steady.You're old and you know know the.The way.Maybe think about it twice.
Nick (E'Louie)Thank you.
Hana (Sage)Easy, easy.I've never met anybody quite as enthusiastic as you.Never let that spark dim.No, don't.Don't hide yourself under a bushel.Let your freak flag fly, girl.You got this.
Lauren (EZ)And I just like hug your legs.
Hana (Sage)Yes, yes.Bunny hugs all around.Bunny hugs.Soft bunny hugs.
Nick (E'Louie)One wonderful comes in with the hug.
Hana (Sage)Sage kind of like cracks their shoulders and arranges their ears nicely and takes their last cucumber out of their vest, holds it in their teeth like a cigar.
Lauren (EZ)Right?
Hana (Sage)There it is.
Lauren (EZ)Sounds so good.Oh, there it is every time.
Lauren (EZ)That's good.
Hana (Sage)And with the cucumber clenched between their teeth, they reach their super soft bunny paw out and lay it in the statue's hand.
Corey (DM)As Sage reaches forward and puts their hand in the hand of the statue, you notice at the same exact instant that the hand touches, it's bound to the statue.And the glass dome covering the two of Loyalty opens up.And you begin to feel a rumble in this room as you see like small pebbles and rocks starting to fall from the ceiling.
Lauren (EZ)Oh, guys, this is getting kind of scary in here.
Nick (E'Louie)I am full of emotion on Eloise face.He's looking at Sage, this beautiful, wonderful creation, this bunny.And he wants so badly to have been the one to sacrifice.But also is thinking about this greater story that he may actually be needed.And he sheds a tear.
Lauren (EZ)Same Sage stump, really like you and will always remember you, but also kind of got to go.This is awkward, but see you around.Oh, no, definitely not.
Lauren (EZ)Am I able to like, maybe pull some fur off?No, man.I wanted something to remember.
Nick (E'Louie)It's true.
Corey (DM)The mustache still but the.Yes, the.The rooms because beginning to shake.Rubble is falling from the ceiling.It is likely that this is about to collapse.
Nick (E'Louie)What's up?
Corey (DM)What's up with the?What's up with the what?
Nick (E'Louie)So as the chew open.
Corey (DM)Yeah, the, the glass is now fully open.The chew is just sitting there.
Nick (E'Louie)Okay.
Nick (E'Louie)Yes.
Nathan (Stump)Louis takes the chew.
Corey (DM)So Louis says it's time to go.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.
Nick (E'Louie)And he reaches and grabs it and he looks at Sage and he says,.
Nick (E'Louie)Your sacrifice will be remembered.
Lauren (EZ)Yes.We will always remember you, Sage.
Lauren (EZ)I put my palms together and I bow to you.
Corey (DM)And as you all begin to like.And as you all like begin to feel the shake and the rumble of this room and rocks are falling and like it is now self destructing that the chew has now been taken and not holding this all together.As you begin to make your way to the stairs, you take one last look back and you see from the feet going up, you just see Sage's body beginning to turn to stone.And as her body begins to turn to stone, the other statue from the top down begins to crumble.So crumbling from the top down of the other statue as turning stone from the bottom up on Sage and Sage, the stone begins to go up.It is up to your neck.You're able to turn your head one last time as you see the anomalies make their way.And is there anything, one last thing you'd like to say as they make their way out of this room.
Hana (Sage)Be good.
Corey (DM)As stone begins to cover the face of Sage, as you all begin to run up the stairs, you hear the crush of rubble and rock fall behind you as you continue to run up these stairs back to the farmhouse.But this shaking is getting more and more out of control.And you eventually make your way to the stop top of the farmhouse.But the shaking does not stop.You begin to see the farmhouse begin to like, oh, crumble and also fall apart.What do you do?
Lauren (EZ)We have to get out of the.
Nick (E'Louie)Door as fast as possible.
Corey (DM)You make your way.You make your way out of the door.You bust out.The minute you bust out the door, you hear inside just the whole falling of this farmhouse.And as you like get up and awaken from what just happened.You know, the loss of Sage, the sacrifice that was given.And you don't even really have a lot of time to process this as you get up and see, stand up and shake yourself off.You look up and you see before you son of a process servers standing outside and walking from the back of the process servers, which you don't recognize at first, but you get the suspicion that you know.Yes, but walking from behind them, as they open up, you see the Malaga La.
Lauren (EZ)It's a hot foot summer for you.
Lauren (EZ)That's.Can that be the commercial hot foot summer?
Lauren (EZ)You suffering from hot foot?
