Yeah, but, you know, it really doesn't pick my Bailey. If you need the charger. My phone's over there, so we're good for now. Thank you, though. All right, you said religion check? It's a five. Okay. I rolled a two. You don't feel your patron. Either of them. Now you have two of them. God damn it. I rolled a two, Travis. Why did I roll a two? That's a good time. I guess. Get it out of the way. You're going back in the bag, guys. You did not serve me. You failed me. You failed me for the last... For the first and the last time. For now, at least. Right. I need to get more dice, but it's like super low on the list Yeah I can't describe you exactly how many dice I have Problem is a lot of my dice. They're initially yeah, I One of our very close friends in the group actually owned a business where she made dice and dice molds. So she made me a bunch of dice. She no longer does that? No, but ended up getting not a lot of revenue. I don't know why they stopped because they didn't have a storefront relatively low cost. But I don't know. I don't know on that one. It's been a number of years. Yeah. I don't know. That bong again. Oh, I'm going to hit it. What, uh... I'm going to walk it on back to the bathroom. Huh? So what are we supposed to do with the weed? We're supposed to smoke it outside? Or at least blow it out the door. Out the... The door. Okay. I thought you said dowels. Like, you do not have a spoof in this house right now. Dowels. There's a little bit of more twang to that door than I thought. Yeah. It's fine. I just put the wrong consonants afterwards. I added the O-E-L or whatever. O-W-E-L. Speaking of TTIPGs, when am I going to have some content to start building you guys a site? The moment we playtest. So essentially what we're doing right now is we have the character 1 through 6. Our maximum is going to be 4, but what we want to do right now is playtest 1 through 6 and fine-tune the damage, like how the abilities work and how the early class reaches go. You're missing acrobatics on the skills chart. I had to put it on there myself. Yeah, so I added that. I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know. I didn't add that. But it's just, you finally actually get to, like, figure out how much actually goes into something like this. It's a lot. It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a lot. We don't even have, like, we don't even really have, like, non-combat abilities. It's all just combat abilities. Because that tends to be, like, your pinch point. You know what I'm saying? Like, if combat doesn't feel good, the gameplay's not going to feel good and back and forth. So we're just figuring it out. We want to have a strong base before we, like, make a whole lot of it. Once we get this figured out, then we start making the modules. We have ideas for that. I almost have too many ideas for that. I'm going to beat your ass with battlemages. You think I'm going to have megalomania now? Oh yeah, wait until it's a game you made. Oh no, I understand. You're going to have to kill me in the street. I've played pretend with literal children. Don't worry. I understand. But see, adults can be so much worse than children. That's very true. What did Eric say about our call and the demos I sent him? He liked it. He liked it? Yeah. Eric is quickly becoming like my best bud. My best mate. No. But... We shall see. It's good that we do not have the same idea about things. Yeah, you gotta have the multiple perspectives. I try to make Travis have perspectives all the time, but he just looks at me and says, cool. No, Eric and I have, I just call them heated. They're debates. Nothing? It's fine. So you gotta have people like that and then people like Eric in your life, right? Like, they can't all be Eric. And they can't all be Travis. Yeah, but Brian's annoying to argue against sometimes, you know? He's my person that'll debate with me. Maybe one day you'll have the pleasure of playing D&D with him. Maybe. But you know, sometimes he knows he's lost. He knows he doesn't have the right position, but he still goes, you know? It's like, bro, bro, bro, we gotta make a decision. He's not gonna be D&D, dude! It's sometimes worse. It's sometimes worse, but I digress. His stakes are like mortally lower, you know? He's a pacifist, but the end is the most violent and aggressive one. Am I still Brian? Yes. Yeah. I guess. Yeah. I guess. But if he wasn't Brian, then we wouldn't love him, you know? So like, you know? I admit. That's a strong argument. So as you guys... Give me a recap actually. I don't know if Shemason's not here. Alrighty. So I know... Let's see. Do you want like the super, super high level since we're just kind of picking up? Or do you want like the full... Go ahead and give me a full recap just because it would help us remember as it's going to be an additional two weeks. Alright, so... There are several headers. The first header is forging and travel to Vallaki. The party successfully forged 12 rations from bat swarms they defeated. Bats. At least they're feeding us. The group now has seven rations each after consumption. Jables composed and performed a song about bats during the rest, earning the party inspiration. Approached the town of Vallaki, which appeared as a sullen mountain settlement surrounded by wooden palisades and fog. Wolf heads on pikes flank the roadside outside the iron gates. Entering Vallaki, initial observations. The party discussed whether to stop in town with Ismark and Ivan. Ismark shared gossip about Vallaki. Purple flashes of light from Burgermaster's mansion attic. Lady Fiona potentially trying to usurp the Burgermaster. Um... Town Square features stocks with people wearing plaster donkey heads as punishment. Proclamations posted about mandatory wolf head jamboree attendance. We discovered Rectavio's Carnival Wagon at Asick Stockyard. We found Blinsky's Toy Shop with the sign "Is no fun, is no Blinsky" connected to the malformed doll from Gertrude. And then we went to the Blue Water Inn. We entered the inn. Notable for wolf head decorations and ravens perched outside. We attempted to communicate with ravens, use and speak with animals, but the ravens flew north without responding. We met the innkeepers, Erwin and his wife. Ordered Red Dragon Crush wine. Two silver per pitcher. We bought a few pitchers. Several pitchers. Secured two rooms for two silver total and Jables performed music in the inn impressing the owners. Meeting the Wolf Hunters. We met Evgeny and Zoldar, Wolf Hunters who frequent the inn. Jables competed in a drinking contest with them and won decisively. We learned that wolves are under Strahd's control. Wolf Hunters expressed frustration with the Burgermaster's weekly mandatory festivals. Anyone who speaks against the festivals is placed in stacks. Rictavio's true identity was revealed. Gray approached a half-elephant in the corner who stood out as the only other non-human. The man introduced himself as Rictavio, carnival ringmaster trapped in Barovia for ten years, told the terror of vampire hunters who killed Nosferatu, but became a vampire in the process. Iridal noticed the Grey discussing them and confronted the conversation. Octavia questioned if Iridal was a vampire. Iridal responded, not technically. After the party moved to a private room, Octavia revealed his true form, Blade, a dampier vampire hunter. And we formed an alliance with Blade. Blade's mission is to slay Strahd. Blade gathered gathering information on the were-ravens who oppose Strahd. Suspects, uh, suspects innkeeper Erwin is a were-raven. Blade knows Fashtani and the inn serve as Strahd's spies. The party shared Nest of Ravens card reading with Blade. Blade suggests attacking Erwin about the card. Blade proposed mutual assistance. Help the innkeeper find missing wine shipments, and Blade will help the party defeat hags in, uh, at the windmill. The wine comes from Wizard of Wine's vineyard near Kresk. And we agreed to the alliance. The plans and next steps. The intended route, Kresk, to deliver Ismark and Ivan, Wizard of Wines, return wine to the inn, defeat the hags of the Windmill Blade. We revealed, oh, we leveled up to level four after forming an alliance with Blade. Limited shopping opportunities in Vallaki due to scarcity. And then it has some action items. Important NPCs and locations. Erwin is the Incapure Bluewater Inn. Blade is the vampire hunter seeking stride. Evgeny and Zoldy are wolf hunters critical of the Burgermaster, and the Burgermaster of Wallachia holds mandatory weekly festivals. Lady Fiona is a powerful figure potentially plotting to usurp the Burgermaster, and the Wizard of Wines is a vineyard that supplies all wine in Barovia. That is the summary. That was a very comprehensive summary. And then we went to bed. And then you guys slept as the last action you took? Yeah. Okay. You two are going to wake up. Not where you remember going to sleep. Uh-oh. Joy. Right, right. How did we move? All right, let's bow.

• Yes, I remember they had that as well. - I'm going to just put it right up here. I argued with, uh, not, I gave him a hard time about it, but I'll do it upon his. Very happy of him, yes, yes. He's got to be done with all that PO stuff.

Yeah, I totally get it. We were at the Brentdales when I was on probation, so. Oh, that must have been tough. Because I could listen to everything you asked for and said. Everybody just did anything. Yeah, I'm sure. Right, right. We didn't have people just constantly in and out. Yeah. Good times. Do you want to see a souvenir from our work job room, too? Sure. Sure. This accidentally made its way into my pocket. Is it a supercomputer? I don't know exactly what it is. Looks like a supercomputer. It's actually Java. It's a bit easy getting it again. Yeah. And then, so this just goes straight onto the board. Okay.

• Do they have you assemble this stuff? I don't tell you what it is. I mean, it makes sense, but.
• There's so many of them. Like if I needed to know, I could whip out my work laptop and figure it out. - Right, run it against the inventory. - Exactly, like the classification of the component would tell me what it is, but like, do I know? That board has a-- - 100 components a side or something. - No, 20, not 20,000. The largest one has 18,000 for both of them. - That's crazy.

8,000 parts a side. Oh, one side. Which is why it's so good. Well, the ratio is like 4,000 to like That other one, someone got in trouble for. Someone's gonna fucking get in trouble for, but I take it all. Because they made it into like a Rubik's Cube. Who's got the fucking time? They were almost having me hunt that person down. Because those are individual components put together by someone who's bored. That's money. Like you taking money. Grace had one underling tell her, no, I wasn't asleep. I'll just rest my eyes and pretend I'm not at work when I'm here. That's what I'm saying. So I get the head that coiled them so tightly and wrap it so precisely. They did all of it at work. They did. And left it there for days. It's wild. It's wild what some people do. I know, I think that is a... Individually, I think that's either an inductor or a resistor. Yeah, because they're usually pretty fucking solid. Here's a part that looks like... It's only one section. So there will be parts that are like so densely packed. And the one on that, or that one in particular, the reason why it's so large is because it's like... It's this fucking big. And then the one side with all the components has teeny, teeny, tiny little ones that are put on top of wet solder, and then you put the components on that. So it's like printed, bam, put that shit printed again, and then bam. So it's like got 36 small circuit boards on top of the large circuit board, and then that could really, really go wrong. That's crazy. What are they for? Like 5G... Phone networks. They're all basically built into radios. Yes. Yes. Yeah, for AT&T, Verizon, and shit like that. They do a lot of overseas stuff too, but... 5G in the USA is their only... America-based factory, that's kind of why it's... I hope you fucking know, Travis, for the entire rest of the day, I watched that dumbass in his YouTube videos, run it down. So... Peanut is so bad. Oh, I still didn't watch that one. Oh, no, he's terrible at Night Raid. So I didn't even go to the, like, I YouTubed it, and he has, like, his seven-hour VOD of one of them, and then he has multiple 30-minute ones. So bad at Night Raid. What up, guys? What up? Chewin'? It was so bad, I couldn't look away, but it made me so angry. His chat loses it when he's playing Night Raid. They're like, how the fuck can you play Tarkov? But you can't clasp the migraine together. Like, he set himself up though, but he's like, "You've never played Elden Ring?" Or, "You've never played Elden Ring either?" "I've never played Elden Ring." "We're gonna fuckin' crush this game." Doesn't know how to clasp. Doesn't read the abilities. Picks the most competent. I mean, it's just, I... I could not watch it. I like watched almost an hour of the fuckin' 30 minute mods. I wanted to throw my phone at the ground the whole time, but yes. Anyways, oh god. But you guys are going to wake up. You wouldn't see light. You would be in a dark room. It would be pitch black. You would, however, see that both you and Iredel are there. I can see in the dark, so what do I see in the room? Can you see in the room? Yeah, dark vision. It's not exactly that you're in a dark room. You are enveloped in a shroud of darkness itself. Magical darkness? Yes. Do I have something against magical darkness? We can sleep late. No, I just had laid up there so you would see my background. We can only see that each other are in there. You can't see each other. Say anything to each other. Yo, it is fucking dark. That's the first thing I'm gonna say. You have your shield? Yeah. Of course. I use the light. Can't trip on the shield. As you cast this magical light, you are gonna successfully illuminate this space. You are going to notice that you are in a large, large space. And you're going to see a very interesting creature attending to multiple different kinds of parchment. That creature definitely talks, so I try to talk to it. Did it not have that lantern lit? It didn't. Is it now lit? Uh, as you guys go to look at it, it will illuminate the lantern. Okay. I know, the picture was so dope, but like, yes. I don't get lost in the details, alright? I, you know, but I'm gonna ask. Yeah, I use Speak With The Animals to say hello and introduce myself. Hello there, I'm Iridel. Can you tell us where we are? It's gonna talk back to you, but it is going to speak common. It is going to say you are everywhere and you are nowhere. You are in the space between spaces. No. Why'd you do that? It's just the ambient music. Don't think about the air all over the place. But what are you gonna say? Stop doing what it's doing and it's going to face you guys. Does not seem aggressive. No. Is that a raven with a bunch of eyes on it? Yeah. You are going to see those ravens. There are moments. Did they see him? Don't even mention that. You guys don't see Gray anywhere. He's not here with you guys. And usually when the bird spoke, it just spoke out loud and called. It did. It did. You guys can both understand? I wanted to make sure I understood. Well, Jables, it seems we're in another predicament. It does. It never rains, but it pours. I introduced myself, but it didn't introduce itself. I am a scribe. Are you a scribe? I am a scribe. Of what? What? Many things, no things. Well, your silence makes me think that, uh... I'm gonna look at you and be like, this reminds me of a string trick this week. He's in the forest. Fortunately for you, this is not the effect of drugs. Fortunately? You just... Right. I'm sure you're wondering why you are here. Yeah, did you bring us here? I don't bring people here. I merely... Subject them to trials of the sorts. It seems that there are some gods that wish to test your ability, your wit, your strength, and your resilience. What is this thing? It's called the Scribe. It is exactly as you see it. You've got so many hands. It looks like you've been dying. You know, you gotta cry a little bit sometimes, right? Especially if this is your job. That's like crying from one eye. That's, you know, happy and sad. And bells. And bells. It's actually a pink brush. And some regular and deformed ravens. What we're going to do is I've got... I think they would prefer enhanced. Enhanced. Deep form. You can tell that thing is deep form. It's got more eyes than a spider, you know? I think it knows it's...

• I will. I object you to several trials. But worry not, your success could grant you items that could assist you on your journey. I also have your friend with me. Upon completion of these trials, I will return him to you as well.

You better not hurt Grey. His fate will be the same as mine. We will hand you this. I look thoroughly around the room for any sign of egress, any window crack in the wall, door. Do-do-do, do-do-do-do. Wait, 11. 11. With that, you will tell that there is no light entering from any direction other than your two lanterns. It seems as though this is kind of like a... This is definitely a magical place that you're in. I'm sure you know what that is, huh? This is heavy. I know, I love it. He said, your one mission is to open that cryptex. I have six trials that you can do. Each will grant you a letter. As you complete these trials, you'll have more and more opportunities to figure out the code. So if we figure out the code before we do all six trials, we win? I've already played with this thing once. As long as you don't unscrew the ends, you're fine. What do you mean you're fine? Because I know I can unscrew the end. That's not solving the problem. You actually have to... No. I can beat your ass with the tube. You've got to be fine while I'm holding it. With the unscrewed ends. I didn't think about this one. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to cheat. I'm too autistic to cheat. But yeah, your only objective is to open the cryptex. Yeah, it doesn't have a good... Yeah, I mean, they're supposed to not, right? It's nice, and that one's programmable, too. Yeah, I doubt it's the same code it was. Oh, yeah. It's funny, because when I bought it on Amazon, I didn't realize it's like a couple's gift, so it came with like two rings inside of it, and the code was I love you, and I'm like, is someone giving me a fucking cryptex? What? I came with this card because thank you for being in my life. May the joy and happiness around you today and always something or other kind of left off there. I'm like, that's cute, but I'm about to torture my friends with it. You know, it's parallel. You torture your friends with relationships, torture your friends with cryptexes. Yeah. Makes sense. Now, would I ever give a significant other a cryptex and be like, honey, bam, like... It would be a flex for sure. It would be a flex for sure. But, alas. Alright. Whenever you are ready to embark on these trials... Let me know and I can take you where you need to go. There are multiple. There will be puzzles that require you to decrypt. That test of wit will give you two letters. I can subject you to a trial of riddles to see if your wordplay And your whip are strong. Hey, hey, hey, I'm fucking stizzed right now, okay? I'm just watching. I know. I have a physical puzzle to actually assemble. I have a trial of strength as well that could provide you with the letter. It's definitely yours. I like that. What was the first one? Wit of some sort. So the first one is essentially a decryption puzzle. Okay. Which actually gives you the possibility of getting three letters. Oh. You want to start with the strength one? And then... We can do either. We can start with the decryption. We can start with strength. I'm thinking we do strength and then decryption. That way we, like, try to optimize the start of the word. That might be enough for us to get the rest of it. Okay. All right, let's see what I'm picking up with the random. I'm picking up the two... There's no guarantee it's a word, though. It could just be a random string of characters. It could, but we'll probably know that between two and four letters. We get three consonants in a row, we know. Three consonants in a row. It's a guarantee that it's not a word pretty much, right? Unless it's like a specific set. It has to be like, you know... Yeah, which, you know, still indicative. But yeah, that's my two cents. I mean, I obviously, you know, I can help with the strength one, but it's not my strongest suit. I hope it's about beating something up. I assume that means you're choosing the trial of strength as your first. That's a good starting point. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. As you guys say that, he is going to retreat. As you see him retreat, the world around him is going to shift. Transports. It's fine. At least... Baker, do we go with strength first or are you trying to save? Oh, that you were talking about how excited you were to use your new ability for the last week? Which is fine. But message received. Guys, boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo. Let me get you guys from this pile. I need to figure these minis out, guys. I have a problem. So I rolled my d20 twice when we got here. And I rolled a one and then I rolled a four. So it's going to be feast and famine for Jables. All right. All right. There you are. I rolled the one, and I was like, that can't be. That can't be. And then I rolled it again. It was a 20, and I was like, oh, God. OK. And you guys are going to quickly find yourselves teleported to another dimension. This one, of course, yeah. Look at it. I won't even try to describe it. But on the opposite ends right here, you're going to see two forms materialize. HW, roll me perception checks. Roll me roll initiative. Big money. 12. 12. Anyone get over a 15? Yeah, 18. Yeah, buddy. Excellent. It's the colors, you know, made you really focus in like if you were on mushrooms. Jables. I'm there. Iridal is going to notice that they are definitely the shadowy silhouette of a man and a woman. Jables is going to more accurately be able to discern that they are spectral versions of you guys. It's us. And roll me initiatives. That guy has also been letting me down, so we're gonna throw a new one into the mix here. 16 And go ahead and bless both myself and Jables. I was thinking about it. We don't usually allow that, but I'll say yes. That's why I asked. See, I just tried it and waited to be told no. The only thing, keep in mind, if I let you guys take an action before this, I'm also going to let them take action before this. That's not like an action. It sure is. It sure is, I guess. What else? I don't know. I mean, I could. 31. Yeah. Mine changes, you know what I mean? Right now with my shield and my longsword and my shield of faith, it's at 20. Mine's 14. Normally it would be at 19 with that stuff, 18 without the shield. Molly Wapin. Excellent. Alright, I just had to confirm some things. You guys are going to see... Can you confirm we are one-shotable? Huh? Huh? - You're talking about? - Yeah. The Ghazly Iridell is going to go first. Is she Nat 20 on that shit? You know, she did actually Nat 20 that shit. That's fine. My ghost self is stealing my 20s, bro. I Nat 20ed on my Pretty Pretty deck, so that's good because it's the first time I rolled that today. to immediately move place a direct So I'd make-- So is it this big circle? It is. Five foot radius, 10 foot diameter. So it is the five foot. Okay. That's what I thought. And I have to do a con saving through. And I get my bus on that, right? Saving through. It's a D4, right? Yes, please. Come on. Big money. 17. That's gonna pass per se. We're still gonna take half of this Well, I also have radiant resistance. So you're going to take half of that as well? Still going to take half of that. Cool. I think that's gonna save your bacon on a few things.

• Yup. I'm not, but... Do I just run up there and beat you guys ass?
• We're gonna take two radiant damage. Already quartered. She is then going to... What circle did you choose?
• Scars.
• Oh, that's right. You are then gonna see her wild shape. Into a bear.

That's a bonus action? Yeah. Wild shape, yeah. It's an action for you though, right? No, it's a bonus action. Okay, it's a bonus action? And then she's going to charge right up in y'all's face. That takes it to you, Eardale. Okay, so... So going to moonbeam but I'm gonna do it on the Phantom James? Yup. Fantastic call, I do not have it. Alright, so I did two d10s. I'll just do it digital. It's fine. 13. 13 radiant. Then I will also Wild Shape. But I'm... It's an action. Oh, when you take it. They changed that in 2024, 2014. 2014, you took it in the beginning, yep. And I'm gonna turn it, let's see, what can I do? What can I turn into right now? Because I can't do anything flying yet, right? No, but she would have the forms like bear, wolf, spider. I forget how many. And then I have my circle. Three, right? Yeah. Thank you. I think if you do the archer, I guess they could have changed it. I'm trying to look at them right now. I don't have them memorized, but they also don't have it like easily found here. Right. I think if you do the archer, if it's the same as it used to be, in the same bonus action, you wild shake, you can do the arrow. And as a bonus action on your subsequent turns, when you do activate the form and as a bonus action, You can make ranged spell attack or like luminous arrow targets with sexy beak. On hit the attack deals radiant damage. Can I still move after that? Absolutely. So I will go ahead and do the archer form. Okay. And so that means this is 1v8. This is an 8? Yeah. But you have to do spell attack. When you activate this form you can make a ranged spell attack. So that'll be my This thing right plus four plus four. Nine, thirteen. That's this one? It'll be proficiency and your wisdom so it'll be plus six. So ten right or yeah that's four right so ten. 19? Uh, so it's, yeah, 19. That makes sense. He's got my stuff on right now, so he's got 21 AC. Jesus Christ. Okay. And then I can move, right? You're gonna get opportunity attacked by her, but... Only if I move out of her range, right? You are in her range right now. Right. But if I stay in her range, I don't get opportunity to think. Okay, but I just need to get out of the circle, so I'll go right here. Yes. That's the archer. And that'll be my turn. But I am blessed. I'm okay. I'm good right now. Thanks. I'm going to use a luck point for advantage. Yeah, for my sacred weapon. Oh, yes. Which is what I do. So my weapon will now be glowing. Okay. And for ten minutes I get to add stuff to my attack and stuff. And my attacks will be radiant damage. Excellent. And with the spellfire add up feat, radiant damage ignores resistance to radiant. So fuck this bitch. Fuck this bitch is sitting right in front of me. She getting smacked. Okay, thank God I get to add a bunch of stuff to it. She's not getting smacked this time. That's okay. Is your love playing? Are we on the easy or the inspirational? - Can I use my inspiration after the fact?

• Yeah, you can use your inspiration at any moment. I think the only time you can is when the end result's already been decided.
• That's what I'm doing. All right, that's way better. That's gonna be well over a 20, 30.
• Yeah, to the bear? - Yeah. - Absolutely. Bear's getting hit. Bear. I can barely stand the tension in this battle.

I'm also going to smite the bear. Sam, I'm going to smite the bear. I'm going to paladins my poop. Very lemony. Yeah. So the longsword itself. I like cookies and cream. Let's go like this. Eight Radiant from the Longsword. Okay. Eight Radiant. And the Smite... 11 more Radiant. Once per turn I can do whenever I cast a spell that does radiant damage, expend up to two hit dice and add the total to one of the spell. Okay. So you can expend hit dice to do additional damage? 100%. Yep, I agree. I've got four of them at the moment. I'm going to do 10, which is this bad boy. I've already done 11, 8, 19. How much health do you bears have? Yeah, you don't need to concern yourself with that. How much damage are you doing right now? I do have to concern myself with stuff like that. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Let me do one more detail, I think. Bears health is about to develop. You want me? Thank you. Why would we be cheating? If you were looking up stat blocks. Oh. I'll just use one hit. Why would I do that? Why in fucking D? It's happened before, though. So I'll add six more radiant. She drops out of bear form. She's now back into shadow. You were there for her. That's my action bonus action. What about, does she have to roll for some concentration on that one? Actually, let me see because she was you don't if you take temporary hit points the way wild shape works is that you technically gain temporary hit points equal to that wild shape and then You wait, let me see It really all depends on whether or not the damage you dealt over the bears max health actually carries over to her What was the question when you take damage that would unwild shape you When you take over the Wildshape hell, do you get damaged by the overhand? In fact, I got it right. I don't believe you do, because you can only be turned back to your original. So even if they were to, like, really meet you hard? So you use wild shape, have you incapacitated or died? Let me read this real quick. The fact that they say you can stay in that form for a number of hours equal to half your druid level until you use the shape again, have the incapacitated condition, or die. The temporary hit points also says it's equal to the number of equal to your druid level. Number of temporary hit points equals here. And then your game statistics are replaced by the beast stat block. But you retain your creature type, hit points, hit point, dice, intelligence, wisdom, charisma scores.

• She's on the ground?
• No. Thank you. That's just blowing my fucking mind because like, you have how many temporary hate points then?

Four. Because my level is four. That's just wild. I'm having to read this a few times. Sorry, Trex. No, I mean, it sounds like they changed. I just played a Druid tune. It wasn't like this. It was you had the temporary hit points equal to the health of the creature. Yeah, that's what I remember reading, too. No, this 2024 is the same. We're going to go ahead and just say she is definitely out of the bear form. Is she bloody?

• Bless you. And so for as the archer is the archer stat block just my stat block so nothing else changes - Cole, if I can't Google Your joints glimmer like stars and glowing lights connect them as on the star chart. This form's a bright light that glows for 10 minutes at a time. You assume this form, you choose one of the constellations. So no, it's essentially you, but you turn yourself into like a demigod looking fucking motherfucker in essence.

But you are yourself. But instead of shadow, you're Adele. You're star, you're Adele, which is good. She does pass the saving movie. There was a concentration save on the form. No. Okay, that's what I was reading. So it's still a burr. It is. What have they done? I'll hang out for now. Y'all choke now. That takes it to Shables, aka Shadow Davis. Shables! Who is going to move his full movement speed up. I like his style. Because why would he not? He's right next to his shadow buddy. Can you confirm exactly what Shables can do? Don't worry about it. Not much. Shables can actually do a lot of stuff. All he can do is swing, you know? He can't do much. Oh no. He's got a heavy sword. It's really hard for him to even do the swinging, you know? Is he wearing the sword and shield right now? Yeah. Oh yeah. It's pretty terrible. - Tim. You're gonna touch yourself. Is this gonna be his bonus action? He's gonna touch himself or he's gonna touch his blood? He's hurt too, that's right. Good shit. Good shit. He's gonna look at his boat, they're gonna lock eyes, and he's gonna go ahead and heal himself. I'm going to use his action. And he is going to swing on Iridel. What a jackass. I'm going to say that to him as he's doing it. You can only make one attack, yes? Hell yeah. Not until level five. Coming at you, Iridel. - Roll a two.

• Tell you what, level five though.
• Was it a two? - It was a little higher than a two.
• But it's lower than a 14.

Isn't that 20, unfortunately? No, it's not. It is. No, it's not. It is. Change your dice. It's actually rolled, I think, two in a row now. Switch it. I don't have so many bars on my card. Here, Adele, I'll switch after this. This is about to come down on your pretty fucking heart. It's going to suck, man. Oh, my God. Have you ever heard the words, you don't have silver, Rebarb? I wish I did. One of those smites are all bonus actions, aren't they? They are. Ha ha. She can't smite and crit you. She can only crit you... Regularly. ...with swords. It's okay, I got four bonus health right now. My sword's only a d8. So what, my damage is what, 1d8 plus my strength? That's what it is. Mr. 16. That could be worse. It's back to Shadow Iredell. What? Yeah, She-Riddle got an F20 on me. I should remember. No, I don't remember that. I sadly do. Yeah. So She-Riddle, what this action is. Yeah. Go ahead and drop it. - Into That... the radiant resistance thing, that was just for your turn, right? Like, the elimination... I think that was just for his one attack. Right. Or his attacks. That's what I'm asking. It's... um... I'm just, you know, just curious. Just caught us. Radiant damage it ignores resistance So he's going to try to cast hold person on you, Jables. Hold person on me? Wisdom saving you. Who, Eridels? Sheerdel, yeah. Oh, Sheerdel is? Sheerdel's male? Shadow Eridel. Yeah. Hold person on me? And it's a what? Sheerdel's whatever they want to be. You said a wisdom? Yes. Get out of here, Javid. Listen, I lived in Oregon for a while, you know, it's like misgendering is like beaten into me, you know, correcting misgendering. You're paralyzed. I apologize for forcing that on you. No, you're good. You're good. It's funny that when I play my male character in the other campaign, I accept it all. They're all correct. Whatever you want. It's the opposite. Which is funny because I can see you are in both ways in that one. I brought the soap, Josh. It's great. It's great. So essentially what Hold Person is going to do... You are going to be paralyzed for the duration, but you'll have the opportunity to repeat the same thing in your turns. But you are going to see Sheardell reach out her hands and almost kind of force choke Jables as you see him start to season up just a little bit. Okay. That takes it to you, Sheardell. So I am going to... I'm gonna go ahead and Guiding Bolt, Cheeridel. 619 should hit I do that Nine radiant damage Radiant Damage. So as you guys deal this damage to her, that is going to be just enough to bloody her. But both of you guys... Actually, since you're standing right next to her, I won't make perception changes. Upon this onslaught of damage, you are going to see that it is actually not Iridale standing in front of you, but Strahd. Interesting. Interesting. Well, for my bonus action, I still use Healing Word. So? So it's 2d4 plus 4. Can I borrow one of your d4s? She makes the save for the paralyzed. Five, so nine. So I heal myself for nine. Excellent, excellent. Wait, did you use Healy Word? Yeah. After Guiding Bolt? Guiding Bolt's a cantrip. It's not a cantrip. It's a level one. It's a level one spell. I did not use healing word. I did not heal for 9. So for my bonus action, I just do the archer bolt. Which is 1d8, I believe. Yeah. That's a bonus action? It is. Fuck! Makes that really fucking good. Makes that really fucking good, actually. 19. 18. Plus 6. 25. 1D8? 1D4? I will memorize this if I use it enough. I promise. You're good. You're good. Yeah. Okay. You do the one change. like, rereading the entire fucking player's handbook. How much shit they changed in 2020, god damn it. I take it to James, who can make the save to get out of the paralyzed. I'm going to use my Lost Point. Good time to use that. Hittin' it. Hittin' it! That's much better. It's gonna be a 22. That passes. Thank Christ. I don't know what the fuck's here right now. And that takes it to Shables. At least you're not paralyzed during Shables' turn. You know what? I was looking forward to that. Damn it! You were trying to just outright kill me? Maybe if I could. Maybe. Maybe. If you let me. Maybe. Yeah, if they haven't changed paralyzed, yeah, that sucks. Which they fucking haven't changed paralyzed. Enemy attacks within five feet are crit hits. Whoa. Yeah, that's cool. Whoa. I'm about to come down on tables like the fucking... Clash of Free, buddy. Yeah, I'm glad I used my Lux when one of those was a fucking two. Oh my god. This is where I rolled the first time. Fucking Christ. But, Shables is going to continue his onslaught, and he hasn't taken damage other than your 13, right? Mm-hmm. Okay. That's what I thought. He is going to continue to attack you. So he's going to make a weapon attack against you. Okay. Let's see. It's not a natural-y this time. You used a different dice, right? You promised. No, actually, it's the same dice. But it's not a natural-y. It's a 19. You promised, Grace. 19 hits. I'll put it right here. I'll put it right here. You can gaze upon it. So, Cal, use my sword dice. If you want to roll it, be my guest. No, it's against me. I don't want to roll it. It's against me. But she wants you to do it. I know. She's going to send that Juju. It's going to roll a one for me, and I'm going to trip over my own nuts. But you don't have nuts. Exactly. I'll grow them and then trip over them and then fall into the abyss. That works. She is going to pump a smite into this. Uh-oh. I have radiant resistance. He's going to hit you with a searing smite. What does that mean? It is a different kind of smite. So in addition to the 1d8 he's going to do to you, he's going to deal an extra 1d6 fire damage. And then until you're able to actually... At the start of each of its turn, until the spell ends, the turn can take one d6 fire damage against a constantly moving girl. Yeah, so he's going to deal some damage to you. He's going to let you on fire your girl. So he's gonna try. He succeeded. Just roll the damage. That's the cool thing about it. His smite's just activated after he did damage. I know. But if I'm already dead, then... He's gonna deal... He's gonna deal 12 overall damage. Okay, and of that, what's the type? Spread. Spread. So out of that, six of it was slashing, six of it was fire. So 12, six flashing, six fire. Make me a con saving throw, actually. Yeah, make me a con saving throw. Could be a little on fire. What's your save? Don't get caught on fire. Nine. Oh wait, I get plus four from blast, right? That's still not enough because you just said 14. Oh, you get the plus four. Is that enough? Wait, what's the total? Seven, eight, nine, 12. It's not. You are now on fire. Great. It's just one D6 turn. Yeah, I know. But it does inform at my next turn and hopefully... What's your... Are you bloody right now, Erdog? I'm bloody. Okay. That will take it to... That was Shables? Yeah. So Sheardell. Yeah, that takes it to Sheardell. So Sheardell, who is also bloody. Well, we can call her Strahd now because that's what she looks like to you guys. In fact, both of you make me perception checks. 17 plus 6 is 23. Wow. So Jables is too busy like... Yes. Iridil... Iridil is gonna kinda now like, you know, now that you were provided with a direct... Direct juxtaposition between Strahd's features and your features. You're gonna notice that you bear some similarities. Maybe that's just because you're both hot vampire ladies, but you're like, damn, that was hot fun. But that is going to come across as mine. This is like a Star Wars, like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker type deal. That's what I'm feeling. That's what I'm vibing. So, is going to having had dropped the whole person on your She's going to hit herself with a little tooth cure wounds. Is she already not in shape-shifting form? She dropped it before she mold-personed you. Okay, that's fair. She wouldn't have been able to do that. Yeah, I know. That makes sense. That makes a lot of sense. I didn't specify, but there's a lot of things that happened. You did. No, you did. I remember. You did. Does that mean I have to drop my form? She's going to heal. You can cast in yours because you're not technically in other forms. Nice. Like you can't do it as an animal. Right. Because you can't. Verbal or somatic. Yeah. Right. But I am me. I'm just shiny. Precisely. That's a good workaround. She's going to heal herself out of being bloody. going to No, it's your idea. I see her produce a flame in her hand. Okay. And she's gonna ore farm the fuck out of that standing right in front of you. You're a deal. I'm gonna start with a level 2 healing word on myself. Which is a 44 plus 4. So I heal for 16. So I am no longer buddy. heal themselves heal adele heal adele heal adele and then i'm gonna go ahead and do my boom at uh you know my lovely mirror which is uh these two to see if i hit Nat 20 plus 3 plus 6. So that hits. And then it's a 1d8. I don't think so. I know, but this one's just a weird one. Never bad to confirm. We've been fucking confirming shit today, goddamn. Well, it's just they've changed so much about that shit. They really fucking have. On a hit, the attack deals radiant damage equal to 1 DA, oh, plus wisdom. Plus wisdom modifier. I thought it had that, yeah. So, 7. So, Chris, what's your wisdom modifier? 4. 4? Make sure to add the max when you add it. So, the max dice is 8. When I add the max, it is 12 times, I guess. So, what? 12, 7, 19? What's the max damage you can do? Right? 8 plus 4. Right, 8 plus 4. You said 19? Yeah. She's lying again. How does it do 19? I do it. Yeah, so the way we do crits, which is why it really sucks when we do a crit, but it's really cool when we crit things. Yeah, because rules as written, you roll twice as many dice. Right, but then you could do ones across the board. We've done it. We've done it all the time. Ones and twos, you might kill yourself. So we do max plus the roll. Yeah, I appreciate it. It's a better system than my own. Yeah, I mean, you have a higher potential. You have a better potential of surviving than getting critted the other way. It's worth the trade-off. Exactly. It feels better both ways, Gaby. It accentuates the crits. It does. It does. We do a lot of... Makes it also feel like a crit. Yeah, it's actually a crit. It's not... Whatever you think would be appropriate. I don't know. Say the kid went to the chief's spot. So it was me doing his scent, but think about it. So, sorry for the intermission. Pretty sure you had just healed yourself, yes? What else do you do? Oh, and then you took your starry attack, got a crit, dealt 19 damage. Let me do 19 damage back to this bitch right here. Papiao! And I pass it on over to my boy, James. Yep.

• Got a swing of the bloody Churdo.
• That makes sense. That, yeah. That just pretty much undid everything she had done on her turn, so she loves that. She's thrilled with that.
• She just held me against my will.
• Oh, she did. She tried to choke you out.
• It's gonna be plus...
• 14 or better.
• Oh, yeah, it's over. - Okay. - Yeah.

Unfortunately, Iridel does not have a high AC. It's like 19 or something. Nor do they give you access to shield, which is cruel. I wonder how my other druid got it. I'm like looking and since you got some things you could do, but like if I would have, yeah, I don't even know what I would have done. You just kind of, you just take it to the face, I guess. I guess that's fine. - Why do you have a shield? I could have had a shield in my hand, but...

• And then I'm gonna use another one of my hit diagonals as well. - Okay. - Like that, make sure to keep it checked. My sword's doing Radiant, so it's all just Radiant. So my sword will do 7. The Smite will do 13, and then added 3, 14. So it's 21 total.

Wow. Sheer Adele goes down. That is action, bonus action. I spit at Jables. Jables? Who I think is still, like, untouched. Well, he healed himself, so no problem. He did, yeah. He took some damage. He did. He did. That takes it to him. He's going to continue his onslaught on-- What do you think Shades like to do? Not a whole lot other than I'm going to hit you in the face. Yes, trust me. I've only got level one spells. I've only got three slots, but I get to do smite for free once every long rest. Well, that means he's going to do what exactly he was doing the turn before, which is take his attack against Iredell. Iredell! The problem is it works. It's not very high. It's not going to hit. It's because it wasn't special dice. It just stares at it. Yeah, you want to do it next turn? Maybe. What does he have as a bonus action? Spit. Yeah, I'm spitting a lot. Would you know exactly what it is? I don't know, maybe. What bonus action spell? There's... Divine Favor. I'm going to say there's Compelled Duel, Divine Favor. No, those are smite. That literally is. Compelled Duel and Divine Favor. He casts Divine Favor, presses his turn, and that takes it to... which takes it to Iridel. You're not Buddy, right? No, I look so good. Okay. The Paladins are untouched, the Druids have been scrapping it. It's like an opposite of what's supposed to happen, though. No, we don't have, we don't have, you know, rolls around here. What if I just grab four or five? Something like that? Cool. This is round three? Yeah. There's been crits? We've only each taken two turns. Until now. I'm pretty sure... I've only had two turns. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. I've had three turns because I got to swing my sword. Okay, so this is... And then I had to undo myself. So this is four. So there have been three before this. This is four. Oh! Amen. Of course. I'm a charm person. Shables. Does that work? Is it humanoid? Yeah. You're gonna charm me? Not you, but the other evil. Shables. Yeah. You can charm Shables. Technically humanoid. He's a creature. Oh, you're facing a version of yourself? Yeah. Yeah. I like the shadow combat. on your toes, you know? We're dead on the floor. So wisdom saving throw with advantage. Oh, because you're attacking me? One humanoid you can see within range makes a saving throw. It does so with advantage if you or your allies are fighting it. On a failed save, the target has the charmed condition until the spell ends. Plus two is unproficient. Fails. But yeah, other than that, I can't. Fails. And then... I guess I produce flame. No. Huh? Yeah. I use my thing. Wait, so he does have the charmed effect? Yeah. Okay. He's charmed. He got two pretty low rolls. Cool. So then I use my thing to... The moment you guys attack him, though. I'm checking that right now before I say what I was going to say. status just says can't harm or attack the charmer charmer has advantage on ability checks the social social manner right you're trying to socialize shables he's in a very social mood he's in a very social mood yeah but he speaks with his blade is that right but he can't damage me so right that's the effect of charm What are you gonna do? Did we determine if it does fall off if I attack? I can still attack, right? It doesn't say anything. I'm pretty sure the moment you attack him, he'll have an opportunity to... Yeah, charge condition until the spell ends or until you or your allies damage it. Yeah. Okay. In that case... I'm gonna use the opportunity to go ahead and switch to... The... I'm gonna use wild shapes. Do I have to drop it and then use it again to change to a different form if I'm using another starry form or can I just go straight to the other starry form? I think it's as easy as expending another charge, specifying it. You don't have to drop it and then do it again. The only reason I know is because I've just read it like five times. It absolutely changes that. It's just the first fight. The other ones are more witty than fighty. That's true. That's true. And I do still have spell slots available. Uh. uh I'll just do a little jig for my bonus action and I'll go ahead and pass. I dig it. I dig it. That takes it to... You can move away without opportunity attack if you want. Because I'm going to work the shit out of them. Yeah, right. She right. How far is this? Each step you take is five. Okay, so... Five, ten, fifteen. I'll move to here. I can do my full motion, right? All 30? Yeah, throughout your turn. 15, 20, 25, 30. So that would be about 30 feet? Yeah. It's not like, you know, Magic the Gathering or something where attack ends turn. Right. You can still move. Okay, that will end my turn. Okay. Chips. I wish I had more luck points. Can you give me another luck point? How inspired do you feel? Not very? Roll me a d100. I'll roll you a d100. I rolled two d100s earlier when I rolled my 1 and my 20. Terrible. Absolutely. Do you think it's going to be high or low? It's always high. What do you mean? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I'm using it immediately to get... I'm just doing advantage on this boy. I want to crit this man. I didn't crit this man, but I'm gonna hit this man. I know what he has. And yeah, that's gonna be like a 23. Yep, that does it. I have one more spike. I can use that like full health. You'll never know until you try, right? That's my last spell slot. They don't give me very many of them. They don't give me very many of them. It's a question since when I said I used speak with animals that animal used Common did I still use that spell? As one of my features my traits, right Okay, I Appreciate you retconning that for me There was enough silence. It was about ten minutes of silence as you guys stood in front of the bird. I mean, you know, you wake up in a random room and there's a bird with human hands in front of you writing. You're going to take a minute to think about what's going on. You do. And if you had known you could ritual cast it without a spell slot, that's what you would have done. So we'll know that in the future. I'll save my spell slot for now. Appreciate it. Up to nine. Nine rad. Yeah, nine radium. Overall schneid radius. Yeah. I don't have any cool bonus actions as you found out, you know. I'm not gonna use my last spell slot. You used a spell slot on fucking... crazy ass... What was it with your button? It was Divine Favor? That's gross. Uh, yeah, you know what I do. Okay. You know what I do. You know, upon all the shit-talking, uh, Shables is going to turn his aggression towards you, James. You know what I do. Um, and he's gonna take his own time. He'd run by and get opportunity. What do you mean? I said, why didn't he run by and just get opportunity? Because you're right there. Yeah. Why would he not? What'd he roll? A 19 plus stuff. A 19 plus stuff? Not a 20, but like what's your 21 AC? So he'll hit. A 19 plus stuff. Plus whatever you know. You know what I add. So he is going to also... What are your resistances? You don't have any? We don't do that here. We don't do that here. We're very accepting. Thank you. He's going to actually raffle Smitey this time. So he'll do the 1d8. He can't have that many spells left. He's about there. I mean, technically he can have as many as she says he has, but he can't. Do you sense Divine intervention in this fight? Maybe a little bit. But I'm having fun here looking at all your spells and casting them. It's a good time. I mean, it's not really any surprise we were pulled here by gods against our will. And our friend was kidnapped. Oh god! He rolled two ones and a two! Nice. That's what I'm talking about. He's going to deal 4 damage to you of mixed necrotic slashing and radiant. Make me a perception. 17. 17. Upon you, you know, getting hit by this damage, you know, talking all this shit, uh, you notice that this actually isn't you, but it is someone else. Uh, What does your buddy Cage look like in this universe? Oh, I have no idea. That is who you see. Okay, I don't know exactly what you're talking about. He looks incredibly... I mean, I assume he just looks like himself. He does. He looks a little bit different, though. It's hard for you to tell right now in the Spectre form, but that is who you are fighting. Believe you hadn't seen that movie I'm glad you see that now. Yeah, I actually own it now because I like it. That takes it to Iridale. All right. Do you want me to do the save for my frightened? Yes. As part of it. Sorry, yes. I could skip it, you know. Yes, do the save. I'm fine skipping it. Do the save. I don't like cheating, though. Wait, when was I supposed to take that burn damage? At the beginning of your turn, so right now. But I need to do it for last turn too then. It's 1d6? Yes. I roll it? And then make the save. What's the save? Your save. Con save. Con save. So you want me to damage first and then make you the save to see if you can do it right now. One, so that's nice. One fire. That's why you don't get two high fucks, but I regret nothing. Okay. And then play two characters from now. These characters are fucked up. These characters are fucked up. Fucking Sheardale got put down. Which is just a d20 plus my constitution. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And are we still blessed? Probably, right? Nothing is broken yet. It broke the moment you cast Moonbeam at the beginning. So then no, we're not blessed. Wait, broke when I cast Moonbeam? You never cast Moonbeam. You cast Moonbeam on Shadow Jables on the very first round of combat in response to me casting Moonbeam on you. That breaks my concentration. That makes sense. Is this still the strength trial? It is. They're getting there. They just have to beat Jables' death. Ten. Ten for my con save. You fail, so roll me another d6. That was a six. All right. So now continue your turn. And when you're at the end of your turn, roll the constitution save the end. Okay. But I go ahead and take the seven. Yeah. Right. You take the fire at the start of your turn. And at the end, you roll the turn and put it out. Okay. All righty. Well, in that case... Struggle, what do I do? What do I do? Do I just full swing or do I... - Probably use my healing word on myself. I can do that, right? It's not like one use per. It's just spell slots. Yeah. Which I have several of. Thank you. Saving one's best life. He'll for six. And then I use my 1d8+ whiz attack so it is... 22 to hit? It hits. Right? Because it's plus my proficiency plus wisdom to that. And then it's a 1d8 plus my whiz. So 7 plus 4 is 11 radiant. Excellent. So Shield of Faith is a concentration. Are we supposed to... Every time you take damage, yes. Oh, and then I have to do my con save. Mine dropped when you incapacitated. Yeah. 18 on the con save at the end of my turn. So I'm no longer on fire? Yes. That is my chair. Casted a concentration system. Whatever, he just got hit, didn't he? He did. He doesn't have it up. He does not have it up? He's gonna see me raise my sword. I'm sure it wasn't supposed to be like this, brother. It's gonna be a 25.

• To hit? - Yeah. - Yeah, that hits.
• And uh... You just hit him a little bit. Should I put him down?

I am assuming that it does use my spell slot just to like try it, right? So if I fail it still consumes the spell slot. Never even looked into it because I assumed that's how it worked, but I was just thinking that it's a thing that... Oh, wait one more. Oh, wait one more. That's nine more radiant. Nice. So you did the smite? No. My weapon just still keeps blowing. Oh. I can choose and you know what I do choose.

• You need nine more radiant tools? And you just did 11, right?
• What do you mean? Did he do 11? - It's your turn. - But nine's the only damage I have.
• Okay, so you just do nine? Okay, sorry, sorry. - No, you're good, you're good. You can throw on 11. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• I have a unique play.
• So you have 36 health. - Yeah.

Boy definitely bloody he's bloody definitely bloody In fact he was bloody before this but um I would have smited him if I knew he was bloody He would have smited him I'm smiting him I'm rolling the smite game Smite And I'm also gonna roll my last two health dice I'm trying to put him under. Yeah. I should have said when I gave you his description it's because he was bloody. That's all good. That's all good. That's what I did with him. Pens, balls, alcohol. I know. I know. It's a serious comment we're doing here. That's not a horrible roll. That's 14, 18, 20. 20 radiant. Jesus! Yeah, boy. Jesus Christ. He goes down. We're paying him fucking money. We're pretty good at killing ourselves. Yeah, we are. Yeah, we are. trial ends. Good shit, guys. Good shit. I wasn't sure how that was going to go, but it's all about the Nat 20s. I've probably got more than three Nat 20s against you guys. They haven't eaten yet? I didn't want to interrupt the middle of that. If we wanted to go ahead and get through right now at the end of this, we can. I'm down. Take a short break. I'm going to step up first. Yeah. No, I don't think. Sounds of a train - Okay. Okay. Damn. Okay. you Now that I added that with a few other things, I had a good level of salt and it made it Hmm. I was watching him play live. I haven't watched much of it. I've just seen some of the results. It's good. It hurts me. I can't believe you wrote that. Just the ball. So if that went down, just right then and there. Without you. I'm now high and I have to now run this puzzle. Cause I am high. I assume y'all are about to run a puzzle. Did we get our letter? We get two or something like that. Oh no, you just get one from that. We just get one from that? Just one. What an asshole. That's what he said. There's one that you can get three. Everything else that you can do, you can get one. He gives you the letter E. Doesn't tell us where? No, they're not in, like, sequential order. I'm going to let you know, that is the worst singular letter. Maybe right up there with R. Ha ha ha! The letter D. Thank you. Get a chance to rest. Yes. You're taking back to that like black kind of like almost abyssal area when you sounded working before. That was a very interesting trial. We saw things that have happened, things that are to happen, things that might never happen. Rest, long rest. You need to go on rest. I was going to say, if I get a chance to sleep, you know, I'm going to tell you. I will play a song for Giroudel as we wake up. I give a very inspiring song about our battle. While he's giving that song or right after, I give an inspiring speech about how we were able to defeat our shadows and We have the strength to carry forward. Do those things benefit your character? Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure you fucking learn about attention. Which trial do you wish to embark on now? Trial of decryption. So we get eight temporary health. Are we due? Mm-hmm. What do we want to do, though? The one where we can get up to three letters? I do like the idea of that. Food's delicious, thank you. Using the decryption puzzle. I suppose so. Okay. For this, I must mass-separate you two from each other. You will be able to communicate, but you will not be seeing the same things. I will provide one of you... The one without the manual or the one with the manual? You want to take the manual? I'll do it. If you want me to take the manual, I'll take the manual. Better at reading manuals than I am, you know? I got you. And this is... You've got to be able to read, though. Yeah, it's a big part of it. That's why I'm handing off that response. This is very experimental. So if you have any questions or need clarification, don't hesitate to ask. Word. Are you telling us this is your first time writing? No, this is not my first time. But this is some Tom Fuller. We're about to embark on here, so I'm interested to see how this goes. I didn't have a stapler, so I couldn't staple this little booklet together, but it is just a little booklet. It is two pages. A little book like a Tom Hulmer. Yes. I'm trying to. We should be here, we've got cleared with this big mistake, but here it is, Brian Tillman from the Abbott Nutrition Center, they've got him, they're sending all these product samples solely for distribution to patients and not for resale. They've got him listed as a means of making money. When we first got it, I was like, no, Suzanne, no, no, no, no. I was like, it's wrong. No, no, no, no. It's not baby formula. Don't tell me.

• You know? - Surely like someone else is consuming this, right? - Well, you just don't want your profile to be jacked by somebody in person acting sub-warrior and signing up for a baby formula. You know, that could be, nobody like-- - That's a long call I don't get, but you know, is it possible? Bravo. A letter to the cryptex. The letter E. I love, I love that. I love it all.

What are they going to do? Probably fight. I'm going to give them an E. I'll show this bastard who goes left. I respect it. It's about the journey, you know? It's the destination? I thought you said it's about the journey. Oh, it's about the journey. I thought you said it's not the journey. Linda Hobson Grace is cleaning up her house and she found something that my mom did. I don't even remember. She said it's really big and it used to hang in Phillip and Patty's house. That's cool. Isn't that a different technique? It doesn't look like anything else. I feel like when they came back from Europe. Look at that cathedral. I feel like this was Germany influenced. She came back from Paris and worked differently. That's cool. I guess it was her dad. She's in Houston. She's in Houston. She got a lot of stuff from her dad's house. You can make sound if you really wanted that. That would be cool to have another painting of your mom's. I got to turn away from the TV. Yep. And hold on to a book. Yep. When I'm ear turned around, I'll show ear. Where I can grab it. Dice or is it all up to me? That's terrifying. That's worse. I trust the dice way more. You can definitely, you'll have to read that out loud, like the first page. But you guys can also contact each other freely. Okay. Okay. Room diffusion manual. I would read it all so Iridel can also hear it. There's just so much of it. There's so much of it. There is. There's pages. Iridel can hear me flipping through the pages. Yes, she can. All right. Read these instructions and see, all lowercase, but S is blue and both of the E's are red. If you can become a room diffusion master, The outer circles, runic codes, line the outside of the circle and come in many shapes and colors. There are three rings divided in half for six overall rune codes, each with different deactivation conditions. One player will be describing the conditions while the other player will have to determine which one is correct. The next pages describe the steps to follow in order to deactivate a rune code. The rings are numbered with one being the outermost ring and three being the innermost. Rune codes are often encrypted in order to prevent the circles from being easily deactivated. An incorrect action could result in severe injury or even death. Only one of the options provided will be correct. The inner circles, the two intersections of the magic circle, are filled with a variety of different symbols. One player will have access to the correct symbols and will have to describe them to the player looking at the circle to see which ones need to be activated. Two to three symbols must be activated in a certain order for these sections to be deactivated. The rooms themselves Often times these runes will translate into words and sentences. They have been a way for powerful mages to discreetly pass secrets to one another for ages. These mages would leave ciphers behind and clues on how to decipher them. coughing What does Iridil have to say about upon hearing all this? Yeah, you seeing shit, Iridil? I mean, I'm seeing shit. You seeing rings? I'm seeing what you're describing. Rings inside of rings? It is. Pretty ruins? Yeah. Circles inside circles? Circles inside circles. So when he starts describing, he's going to have outer and under. This is the outer. And this is the un-oriented. Okay, so it's oriented that way, right? Luckily, it's right now oriented exactly as it was oriented when I created it, so it makes sense for you, which is good. But I just had to make sure you knew that as he gives you those descriptions. One more time. He said outer. He's using the outer rings. And these are the under rings. So it can be one of three outer rings and one of three under rings? He has. You have to do all three outer and three under rings. So you have the instructions to do that. So there's all of these things, and we've got to do all of them. You'll be able to see it at one point or another, but yes. So if you want me to, I can zoom in and do a certain part so you have better vision of it.

• I feel a lot about Travis right now. So you know which rings are, or which number wise, Iridell?

So you were already told that outer, or it's one as the outermost and three as the innermost. Right. And I've already described to Iridell which ones are the outer and which ones are the private. Yeah. Or she should know. Yeah, I know which one's outer one down to inner three. Under three blue white green purple black Purple, black. Yeah. And so step one says if there are more black runes than purple runes, smudge the first rune on the right. There are more black runes than purple runes for all of outer? For outer ring one. Outer one. And then if there's not, just let me know. There are not. There's more purple than black. There's more purple than black. So otherwise, if the green runes touch all other colors of runes, smudge the sixth rune on the left. So see if the green runes touch all other colors of runes. And then if not, we have another. They do not. So if they do not, if each color has a different number of runes. Or an outer. Sorry, one more time? Yeah, I was just waiting. If each color of runes has a different number of runes, let me know. That's a lot of counting. Okay, I'll do it. Are you smarter than my mother? He is. What was the thing I'm looking for is if they have different numbers? If each color has a different number of rooms, so just the total number of rooms of the colors. - Many of them have the same number of the, like there's two purples and two blacks. This is outer one, right? Yes. Just the two purples, Jeremy. Is that one white in the middle there? Is there? Yeah. Yes. And what are the other two on the outside of them? Blue. Those are blue? Yeah. Yes, she does. And those are also blue? Yeah. So there's only one blue. No matter if it's blue or green, it's blue. Okay. Definitely ask. I wanted to also make it look trippy, but I didn't want to visually be bland. No, I didn't want the colors to be too different. Purple? Yeah. So those all pinks and purples are all just purple. So for this one, there's only blue, white, green, purple. Purple? Yes. Two over. White. White? Yeah. Inside color is what I'm looking at. Yes. just you know i'm struggling a little bit because the blue green is a tough color range for me this i'm sorry sorry yeah just like those two i asked this question i only did this one but my apologies one two three four five I'm going to ask as many questions as you want. I should have made it less trippy, but I want to make it trippy. I did too well. I should have made it less trippy, but it's fine. I'm going to ask as many questions as you want. Am I allowed to take notes? Yes. Yes. newspaper Sure. Yes. You can talk with Jables freely about this puzzle as well. Oh, yeah. Sure. You could have notes while you're doing that. Okay. Eight whites. Green's next. One, two, three. Wait, I know I asked. These are blue? Yep. Okay. One, two, three, four greens. Doing blues next. Yeah, one, two, three, four, five. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Blues. Blacks, one, two, three. Three blacks. And purples. One, two, three, four, five purples. Let me double check this. Eight, 12, 25, 28, 33. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33. Perfect. What was the question? Do they all have a different number? They do all have a different number. So each other has a different number of rooms? Yes. So smudge the two rooms at each end. This one and this one. All right. As you go to smudge those runes, this sequence will deactivate. Nice. So are we moving on to outer ring two? Yeah, that'll work. So for this one, the runes will be blue, white, green, purple, black, and orange. I mean, I can see them. Shit, bro. Shit. Alright, so out of the purple and green ones, if there are twice as many purple as green, we'll have something to do. Okay, this is two? Yeah, out of any two. So, one, two, three, four, five purples. One, two, three, green. Three green. So otherwise, what we're going to be looking for is a chain of ten runes with blue in between other colors. So ten runes where blue is the alternating color? Yeah. Nine is the longest run that has altercating. Let me count it again. One, two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine. Yeah, so if you count the ones that aren't blown either side, it's a nine. So just nine? Yeah. So it says otherwise. Now, this one's going to be kind of annoying here. How bad am I going to believe? Okay. When added together, the different colors of runes have more even numbers than odd. Different colors. Okay, so I have to count each one. So we'll do purple first, I guess, because it's the first one. So one, two. Oh, we already did purple. Nice. You did purple and green. Blue. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Blue. I'll do white after that. Two for whites, black, one, two, three, and orange, one, two, three, four, five. You see how quickly I can do orange?

• So there's more odds than evens, isn't there?
• Yes, there are. There's only two evens and four odds.

Otherwise, if there are two different colors of runes that add together to equal the number of blue runes. Any two? Any two that can add up to blue. Yeah. That exists? Mm-hmm. So smudge the first two blue runes on the left. The first two blue on the left? Yes. So that was this one and this one. Smudge. If you have to smudge those two, this ring will deactivate. Nice. We're killing it. By the way, this is really pretty. I bet. I bet. The book is in black and white. Right now, there's just one thing that I said was, you know. In color. Yeah. Which is why you called it out. Right. Everything out. All right. So, outer three. Outer three, yeah. So, these will be blue, white, green, purple, blue. Blackboard. Yeah, go ahead, Eric. So if there is one symbol that is every color except one. OK. That's a rough one, Grace. One symbol that is every color except one of those colors. Is there a rough one, Grace? I'm going to come back over here. Where's he going? I would love to help you. Where is she? Is he already done for three or he's on three? He's in this innermost ring right here. He's doing good. One symbol that's every color. Excited for the next section. My wife. I'm right ahead of her. This is foul music now. There is one symbol that is every color except one color. There is? Yes. If that is true, it says smudge the two rooms on the end. On what end? The end. Like the first time? Is that what it was? Yes. Yeah, that's it. Smudge the two rooms on the end. Say each end. I was about to say, I mean, it has two ends. All right, so these four. So it was the arrow, right? The arrow was the one? Yeah. That is the correct option. I mean, I won't stop you, but... successfully deactivated. We're sleuths. We're sleuths. So I'm assuming now you're looking at some under rings? I am looking at some under rings. We're going to start with under ring one. Under one. These would be blue, white, green, purple, black. Alright, you ready for the first, uh... Yeah, hit me with it. If there are no runes that are more than ten spaces apart from another rune of the same color... There are no runes... that are more than ten? Correct. There are no runes that are more than ten from the next same rune. Yeah, if there are no runes that are more than ten spaces apart from another rune of the same color... of the same color. What does a part mean? Does it include this? The part would be 10 between them, right? Yes. Not included. More than 10, so if it is 10, it meets the condition. So there's another one. Is a rune that has more than 10 between it and the next color of the same? Of the same? If that is true, it says smudge the first two blue runes of the left. Which left? It just says the left. Which left? Is that left or this left? It is your left. This left? Yeah. So it'd be these two. Yes. As you go to do that, it's successfully done. Right? He's like, I'm pretty sure. Are you sure? We were meticulous. Ridiculous. My boy can't count. What's going on? Hey, counting is hard in this scenario. You'll understand when you see it. I bet I will. This time, Javi, it gets real quiet. All right, under two? Under two, they will be blue, white, green, purple, black, orange. Blue, white, green. Just let me know if you're good. Purple, black, orange? Yep. I'm ready. So, if there is a rune that is only found in one color... A rune that is only in one color... I hate to interrupt you, but you might see it while you're doing it. I guess never mind, because this is a flow chart. I'll wait. I want to skip ahead, but I'll wait. Give me a whole flow chart while I'm trying to do some... It's basically a flow chart. These are the same symbol, right? Even though they're not identical. Those aren't the same symbol. Pitchforks? What is it? One of them's up and one of them's down. There is a rune that is only in one color. There is, yes, definitively. So really? There's a rune that's only found in one color? Yes, there's a rune that is only found in one color. These three steps have all been on the first one? It's like when the test is like see three answers in a row, you know what I mean? Yeah, but the rune is the trick. Yeah, yeah. So if that is true, it says smudge the first orange rune on the left. All right, as you go to smudge that one, the rune deactivates. On the underling tree? You ready for the colors? You know, I don't even know if I need the colors. Just hit me. The colors are blue, white, green, purple, black, orange. And it says... If there are no runes of the same color next to each other. No runes of the same, there are runes next to each other of the same color. Then it says, otherwise, if there are no colors with the same number of runes. Okay, so I do need colors. Blue, white, green, purple, black. Okay. What was the conditioning again? If there are no colors with the same number of rules. Okay. So blue, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 blues. 1, 2, 3, 4 whites. into three greens. 123 purples. OK. So that means we were the next condition. Yeah, let me double check them. 123. One, two, three. It was green, right? Yeah, green. One, two, three. Sorry, counting whites. Yes, there are. Yes, both purple and green have three. So then the next otherwise is if there are not three pairs of runes of the same color. Three pairs of runes of the same color? So the same rune in the same color... Three different sets of that. Yeah, it's just a hard one to track. Thank you for your time. Your line's up. That's the easy part. There are three sets of pairs of runes that are identical. So like, there's one set of runes that's like an almost an S that are blue, one set of Rs that are blue, and one set of arrows that are white. Do they all need to be the same color? No, I'm just curious. Does it just say if there are not three pairs of rings of the same color? Does just the pairs have to be the same or do all have to be the same? Oh, okay. Yeah. That's what I was, that's what I was saying. And that, that's why I was very specific about what I was seeing. So then there is not. That does not exist then? I'm verifying. That does not exist. So if that's true, if that does not exist, then we smudge the first rune on the left. First rune on the left would be this guy right here. Yeah. The green bee. That successfully deactivates this rune. You know what I was about to say? I was about to say just smudge the first one on the left anyway because if it is true, we're supposed to smudge all runes. Nice. So it's not going to hurt us. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So we're in the inner circles now. This one's gonna be fun for you. Good for you, John. Hell yeah. I'm pretty good at deciphering what Travis is trying to say, so... It's what 20 years of friendship will do for you. So, we've got outer ring symbol decryption and inner ring symbol decryption. Yeah, let's just hit the outer. Let's work from the outside, man. Outer? Yeah, outie the inner. So we're supposed to activate the following runes in order. From top to bottom. Okay. From top to bottom. So you know which ones he needs to activate first, and then, yeah. From your list, top to bottom. Gotcha, gotcha. From my list, top to bottom. So the top one, the one that's going to be top of my list, looks kind of like a corkscrew, and the tail at the bottom has almost like a wicky-looking tail, but it kind of looks like the Star Wars Empire symbol. Yeah. You go to click that one? Okay. That one successfully activates. And then... The one in the middle kind of looks like a... How do I describe this? Like a cyclone type situation going on. It has one, two, three, four... You know, it has five big main branches coming off of it, but the one in the far left, I mean, because it's almost swastika looking, I'm not even gonna lie to you. The one in the left has two arms going on. That was especially ugly. You know, if you turn your head sideways, it almost looks like some cursive. What letter is that? The second letter is Y. Or it almost just looks like an H. So that rude sequence. 20 years of friendship. We're on to the interview. All right, these ones look kind of goofy. I don't know if that's what you're looking at. But it's the same situation, top to bottom. So my top one, it almost looks like-- I mean, they probably-- really, they both almost look like solutions to mazes. But this one, how do you describe it? At the very top of it, it starts with an S. And then after the S, it like keeps going back to the S and comes back, hits down and goes straight to the right and then a right angle directly down. Yeah, I found it. And there's two dots to the left of that. Yeah. As soon as you said S, but like I just wanted to make sure. I'm not trying to die out here. And then so this bottom one, yeah. If you turn your head left, to the left a bit, at least for me, the negative space looks like it makes an S and there's a black dot at the bottom of it. But I can describe it differently. It's an F. Because it's open-ended. It is open-ended. Yeah, there's a couple that could be that. Okay, so if I'm looking at it normally... I don't understand you anymore, man. - There's a couple that could be like that.

• Yeah. - Yeah. - What the hell? - So does it look like a solution to a maze or does it look like it is a drawing of a maze? Like is it a line or is it like lines that you would travel within?
• So the problem is it's not fully enclosed. So it is technically a line. If you look at it like it looks like an F, does it look like it has a mohawk? Yeah, is it like pretty straight lines or does it have like... If I look at it like it has an ass, it looks more like it has some sort of fucked up beard than a mohawk. Yeah, like a little fucked up beard.

Yeah, okay. I think I'm going to take the risk. I think this is it. True damage. All right. All right. I'm bloody. Fucking up, Travis. I'm just joking. I'm sorry. When you were asking how much health I had, were you wanting me to include my temporary health or no?

• Are we in the same room or no?

I am bloody, but we've narrowed it down to three possible options. So if I'm looking at mine normally, the top of it is closed, and you go to the right, That's where it opens up, and at that opening on the right side of it is another, like, it's like a tail-looking tadpole doodad, but it's straight lines, you know, almost like a musical note, before it, like, curves out like a lowercase b to start being the outside line at the bottom. Does anything look like... Like almost a circle in the description that you're looking at, the image that you're looking at? Or is everything kind of more rounded and straight lines? I mean, so like there is that big rounded area that I said looks like a B is circular. Because then... Looks like a lowercase B? Is there like a circle inside of it? Yeah, there's like a... Inside that big lowercase b, there is going an opposite way curvewise, like an almost half spiral. Actually, it's like, if you look at it as if it's a lowercase b, and then you look upside down, it's a five that's going in there. And there's a dot in the... Like center of the curve 5, like if it were a spiral slash circle. It's not like a dot, but it's a circle that's not fully closed. I see a little white dot. The so the dots that you're talking about, are they outside of the general shape or inside of I would technically say both of them are inside, even though one of them is in the negative space of the F. It's like in the stem of the F at the bottom underneath. Yeah, okay. It's this one. All right, that rune sequence successfully deactivated. Right? Just in the nick of time for that damage. So I would have been at two because it ignores my temporary health for true damage. As you deactivate this last rune sequence and the overall magic fades, you see in the very middle of this room is this. Do I see it? Is Travis here now? He is not. Okay, I see this. Not quite yet. Okay, so does he have more pages for this? No. Let me check one thing. Let me check one thing. Does he come back upon you completing this? Let me see what I wrote, actually. I'm very high. This is how we get our letters, huh? You actually do return to the room. So now, Jables, you can turn around. Oh, man. All right, so this is what I was handed, Jables. I'm a lot of counting. So the one that killed me in the center there, I picked the one on the left instead of the one on the bottom. The F, the dots, all of it. I see that. I understand that a lot. Yeah, but, you know, I'm a gambling man. - I took the gamble, but then I was at two hells, so I didn't have a whole lot to gamble with at the time. Absolutely definitively.

• The one on the bottom right also looks like an F with two dots. So that's why I asked you is it inside or outside, and I'm like, oh my God, that was a great question.
• The cyclone swastika, you got that one.
• Yeah, it was so fast.
• Yeah, cyclone swastika.
• Corkscrew with the tail.
• Yeah. I got that one really fast too. - Yeah. This is what I got. With no instructions or explanation yet? Yet?

No? You have no instructions or explanation, but you will see upon you deactivating the overall room and getting that, the scribe will join you down here. All right, scribe. Anything you can tell me about this codex? Are you just bleeding all over it? I'm just bleeding all over it. It's fine. I was going to tell you, you've already been given the clue necessary to solve that cipher. I've already been given the clue. Clue! I'm going to hand you back this, because you already handed it to me. I've already been given the clue. Well, I mean, so like I said, the C-- C, yeah. What was the colors of that again? The blue S and two Es were red. Purple. I can't control the printer and the real size. There's no red. So the S is blue and the E is our purple. Okay. Let's see. Does this line up with anything? What rooms got smudged out when we did our shit? Did we even... Hey, Nosen. Hey, Nosen. I'll save you the trouble. That won't be relevant to song design. All right. Okay. So there's a tree in the middle. Why am I holding this upside down? I'm holding it upside down. And this fits, but these don't. some sort of cipher. Oh, and this is the right orientation, so that's upside down. Mm-hmm. And again if you want me to. So that you can see it the other way. I'll hold it. Once again. Can I see the menu? Sometimes these rooms will translate into words and sentences. They have been a way for powerful mages to discreetly pass secrets to one another for ages. So if Look this around or zoom in on anything. So the two magenta beads, purple beads. The only place I see two purples next to each other is those two arrows. On the bottom. So the way this would go is you would technically go like this. So arrows are E's and that little bracket is S's. That's all we really have. It doesn't quite line up on this. It doesn't? You're talking about which little bracket? Oh, I see. My bad. Yeah, that does. What? No! After all that work, they got the right answer, but the answer is wrong. I was sober when I did this. That was the problem. What? I said the same thing. Here's your manual back. So what do we got? Well, this is the alphabet. Okay, so we gotta decrypt the whole thing. I, if you want to decrypt the whole thing, you can. For shits and giggles, or I can tell you what it says. What's the alphabet? I, that's, if you want to, you can. So do you feel like we've done the work to get the answer, or do you want to decrypt the answer? I'm fully relaxed. Does it actually translate to words and sentences? Yeah, I assume it does. Because you made us spend 10 minutes figuring out what C meant. But at least you got it. Hey, you offered a second hand. We did not take it. Yes, you did. Yeah, exactly. I'm cool with just getting the answer. It's a lot to translate. I can do it now that we have the answer. I trust. I trust. If you guys wanted to, I was going to give you the option, but no, I'll just tell you this. If you guys spend the next 10 minutes deciphering this puzzle, you will see that this top section right here says, Daughter born in darkness, see the light. Be free forever. From fate's undying grasp, the accursed redeemer. The bottom section says, Venture down the path of darkness, an instrument of fate, played with the pick of destiny. Upon figuring that out, the scribe is going to say, excellent work, excellent work. I took about as much time as I thought it was going to take. I can time it. But it's not quick. Y'all didn't just smash through. He didn't look good. No, that was fine. Maybe now. The three letters he's going to give you Okay. Well, I'm super bloody, so I need to rest. Are we back in the quiet zone? We are back in the quiet zone. Depending on the order, I was going to have that also be the battle map for your ghost encounter, but I'll do the ghost encounter first. Nice. I almost died. Just imagine if you didn't get your fucking ass kicked for making the wrong answer the entire time. I know, I know. We flew through those first few rigs, I feel like. The whole thing took us less than an hour. Which is good. Didn't want it to be super long, but... I can imagine it could be long for some people. It could have been long for some people. Yeah. I feel like we went through it pretty quick. I did too. I also got some of the wordings wrong there, so. Just really one. One. Yeah. One that mattered. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I wrote it in there. It was just so if you go back, you'll know it's there. Thank you. I already corrected all the Google Docs. Nice. But, yeah. Yeah. He's going to say, I only have two more trials for you. Okay. Unless you think you know the answer now, or you can come back. Puzzle of riddles and a physical puzzle. It's just a lot of vowels to have. I know. I need like at least one more consonant. I'm going to step out for a minute. Okay. Do it. Center myself before I go. Yes. Yes. You've been challenged a lot. Oh yeah, my brain is used. You see what I was doing for things I was doing, right, Trev? Putting that together was funny. I'm like, is this going to be too much for somebody? It's like, no. They're not going to do well because I'm going to get them so aggressively stoned beforehand. And it worked. And it worked. Figure it out? No, no. You trying to figure it out? I am, I'm thinking about it. I think you know the answer. You think I know the answer? You think you know the answer, Jables. Okay. Keep saying that. Take them out from Houston out to oil rig platforms. Sounds like the quality of helicopters is significantly declined. I don't know about you guys. But flying over water instead and then landing on that thing was horrifying because the water's just below you going like this. You're coming in on the helicopter and then you're landing on this padded thing that kind of moves. They don't sit still. They kind of go like this, right? Big oil platforms. They're aerobically big. I'm used to, you know, big waves and having to think they're all cool. I just want to put my fingers like that. That's not a good time. you - you I didn't traumatize you. I'll admit that puzzle. I'm just glad you chose me for the, uh... Would you wouldn't have loved to do that? Uh, you know, it would have been fine, but... Did we traumatize you with a puzzle, Javid? No, it was fun. Okay, get out of here. you I wonder how you guys are going to do these next two. Well, we get to both see them. Yeah, you do these together. That was the only one he did separately. We did that together. Do you want to do riddles or do you want to do the pyramid? Riddles or another puzzle So it's either a riddle or a puzzle that's definitely not a pyramid. It's not a riddle, but it is a riddle trial. A series of riddles. My path. Yep. What would be Jables? Hello? Yeah. Highs, pyramid. Lows. Highs, definitely not pyramid. Lows, rules. Definitely not pyramid. No. It's a 19. It's decidedly a pyramid. That's not a pyramid. I mean puzzle. Yeah, puzzle. I hate both of you. Puzzle mid? I wonder why teachers just didn't like us. No, that dice rolling box. You take all the dice out of it. Yeah, you haven't seen this before? Huh? Have you seen this before? I was really drunk last time I did it. Okay, good. He's going to hand you this puzzle. Okay. You don't remember Derek and I and everyone doing this? We're drunk. Power of Hammer. Three-dimensional. He's a 3D printer, though, too, and he just did the same thing I did the first time before he picked it up! You know, you can't not! You can't not! I'm contemplating, like, sanding every angle. I'll tell you what, that really helps with this one, by the way. Yeah, you're not going to take true damage if you make it. Nah, I'm just kidding. You can't help but inspect, but alas. That's why he's looking for the, you know... Is it octagonal? Is that what's going on? No, it's a pyramid. Roll me 3D10, Jables. Yeah? You'll know why? What's your real story? Let me find them, dude. Let me find them. I didn't say no, I just said why. What do you have to do? Well now I'm rolling some d10s. What was your challenge? I'm hopefully gonna die. I rolled d17. You take 17 true damage. For what? Because you talk shit about pyramids. I didn't talk shit about pyramids. I'll take it. Is she beating on you now because you're over here? Even if it wasn't enough to kill him, he'll be fine. I'm going to lay on hands, Michael. How are these put together? At least it seems jobbed as an experience as opposed to Derek, Amelia, and Troy. I subjected their drunk asses to the spiker prosecution. I think... This is one of the problems. Is this my own? I didn't think it was necessary. Put that amount of stress on you guys. I vaguely remember Space relations aren't exactly my best suit. It goes together kind of jankily.

• Side, it make it much.

I thought he was pretty hard. I just wanted to hand it out to you. In the same room. I know some laying it out sometimes helps.

• At the end of that one.

I do remember, like I think it was at the top, it was pretty close to the top. - you This one is like a boy Whether it's a fire... Something this big is probably part of the base. Thank you. cough I'll show you the riddle puzzle. If that is pretty difficult. But take your time. Take as much time as you need. Why don't you go find something to occupy yourself with? No. You roll 3D, Ted. - It's like a divot driver. - We're gonna have to clip the botanical gardens off the trail. - That's okay. - We had scheduled it for 2 to 5 p.m. on the day that we had to drive to the north and check in at 3 p.m. so I just don't, and it's not open on Mondays, our only open day.

• They're gonna force one.
• It's not open on Mondays. - It would be fun, we did that last time.
• Unless this comes out this way. Thought it did, but...

Well, you know, it does because you can see the face. Mm-hmm. It's just something that's happening. Not a terrible idea. They usually like to take us out to, like, lunch or something. So we can probably have a great... Let's try to plan, like, dinner with them on the following day. Might be something like this. Yeah. Let's try to score a week from them and then get dinner or something. Because it's got that weird... I think that's the plan, right? Let's do that for the first day. We can take it at our own pace. Like, Faye wanted to take us to a beach last time, so... But this one is printed. We'll have some options with them. We've got to do the tubing thing until 3, so if we got up earlier that day, we can go do something, come back, and we'll go do the tubing thing. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay, so the can is a little unhookable. I think I messed up on the cheap I had it from green to blue. Okay, and then... That's what I made. Well, I'm glad I looked at this one more time because that was not going to happen. Keep looking at it, keep looking at it. ... Do you drink with any cancer? Fred Austin's not here to see it. As I said, it's to make up for our friend. Let's see. You didn't even think about that. That's perfect.

• Inside type of stuff.

I appreciate the support. Kill me. Axe. Well, you know, I'm going to support you in many different ways. Here you go. You might go this way. What else? Which was it? I didn't see that coming. Thank you. This piece looks like it should be outside wall. This piece? This piece. Not sure. I can hold these together if you want. Just try to mash it and see what it feels. There's so many geometries, he says. That is a very, very good statement. Because there are definitely a lot of sides on that fucking shape right there. To the end of this being like this. Number. Jables, the final lock-in. Yes. May I have a dab job for a second? Uh-huh. I can hit y'all with the riddle. Take your puzzle back. I still will hit you in the middle. It took us like 20 minutes. It's not that bad. No. Letter R. R. So we have D-A-I-E-R. You know, interestingly enough, it's one L away from my character's name. Kind of a funny look. What was it, A-off? It should be L is the last one we don't have. This is I-R-A-D-E-L. You know, I was spelling it right. You got lined up on the two lines? Doesn't mean that we solved it, though. Yes. I was taking the trouble of wondering. Yes. But I wanted to give you the satisfaction of actually being able to pull it up, because it is nice. I'm trying not to just unscrew this. No, it should just come apart. Oh, there you go. It does just come apart. Yes. Yes. Is there no weed in it? I know that's a missed opportunity, but that would be the greatest weed stash for this fucking man. You have everything you have? Cryptex in your bag? Watch the police buy my weed now.

• Trigger on my cryptex, good luck fuck boy.

English. ...accessibly opening the cryptex, there is going to be a bag of holdings. A bag of holdings? Are you going to look what's inside of this bag? Yes. So upon opening it, there's going to be one key inside. You guys don't have any means of identifying items, do you? I do not have identifying items. I'd have to look to make sure, but I don't believe I do either. So for right now, you guys get what you can see is a magical key. A magical coil of rope. And what would be readily identifiable as an immovable rod? It would just be a rod with a button on one end. You'd click the button and it wouldn't move. It'd be pretty obvious. These need to be added to this custom item, so I'm going to need you to tell me what they are again. Give me one second. The scholar-- or the scribe, sorry. No, it's the scribe, not the scholar. What is this, a crossover episode? I could easily have done it. I have ideas now. For the next time someone misses it. There's a magic coil of rope. Yep. Magic key. Yep. And an immovable rod. The scribe is going to then walk up to each of you. He's going to hand you your Adele. He's going to hand me the lower half of a great quarterstaff. The lower half of a great quarterstaff. It seems they've been broken off. --pressed, which is a white raven on like a black regalia. He's going to have Jables-- or him, Jables-- one half of a guitar pick. He is also going to hand Jable something. He's going to say, this is for your friend. And it's going to be a smoky quartz crystal carved in the shape of an eye. A smoky what? A smoky quartz crystal carved in the shape of an eye. I think so. I hope so. So, party inventory, I added a bag of holding with an immovable rod, magic coil, rope, and a magic key. And then to my inventory, I added the lower half of the great quarterstaff with the white raven, black regalia crest. You got your two items. There you go. Now, what gets bigger the more that is taken from it? Glad we didn't pick the riddle. I've always been more of a physical person. What gets bigger the more that is taken from it? Let me know if y'all give up. I'm good too. You're done with all of it anyway, so. You got it. Go ahead. I'm good. I'll pass. What gets bigger the more you take from it? Richard got like almost all of these. Right away. He's also still called Sober, but yeah, I was like, it's a hole. I didn't get any of the holes. Same thing as a void. Yeah. That's what I was struggling to find a thing that was a void. That's not in the wrong direction, but it's a hole. So what's always in front of you but can't be seen? The future. Yep. What can't be kept until it's given? Person to guess that you are the first person to get that no one else has gotten mother I have seas with no water mountains with no land and towns with no people Okay. That's a tackle point. No. Sorry. Mass casualty events are not funny. I think it's been long enough. I think it's been long enough where we've laughed about Pompeii. Seas without water, mountains without land. Towns without people. a train stop before i mentioned more work i'm just gonna stop giving i feel like i should know this one but yeah jokey one map Disappears as soon as he sees me. Shreddinger's cat. What disappears as soon as you say its name? I'm a liar dude. Weed in general. Marijuana. Three for five, not bad. Yeah, it's not bad. That would have been all of them. I would have only given you the letter if you'd have gotten more right than wrong. Which you guys did. So there you go. I've always been too overthinkery for riddles. Some riddles are good. There was a large amount of riddles and I can't do the short ones. I had a large sample size of people that said Riddle's on on the last day. You'd be surprised after 4.12, like the last hour of the delirium, it gets in the vehicle and you start asking. Riddle! I'm their boss, so it catches them off guard. I'm like, hey, come over here for a moment. Why can't we get tattoos? Am I getting fired? Thank you. Good job guys. Good job guys. You can call it there. I thought y'all getting your items and getting toward your wisdom riddles at the very last moment. None of these items require attunement. Do they do anything yet? Do we know any of these items? Oh, your unique items. No. Your unique items can't be attuned to yet. Can't be attuned to yet. They will serve a purpose. You meant the bag of holding. Yeah. Yeah. Bag of holding, mystery, I don't know. Magic key, magic coil of rope, immovable rod. I'll just tell you what they are. They're the mystery key and rope of mending. Because they don't require a tuner to use, you know what they are. I'm pretty sure because you go to use them and know their function. I actually have to look that up too. There are multiple things. We're always looking shit up. It doesn't matter how much this game is fucking played. In fact, there was one of my colleagues at work that was seeing me do this. He walked up behind me, the IT guy, and saw me making the room circle and was like-- and asked me about it. I was telling him all about it. He was like, mm. Because me and the other IT guy, who used to be on nights, would talk about B&B all the fucking time. And he's still very nerdy during the day. So yeah, you just get into it. Did that lady that gave me the fancy spence of perfume a little thank you? I did. Did you tell her that it rolled around in your car? No, no, no, no, no, no. I did not include that. I did not include that. Because I was late giving them a thank you. I guess I did. I suppose you're welcome to. I don't believe so. Where's the other thing of the bird, I think, in the bottom right? That's another bird with a beak wrapped, right? The bottom, right? This? Yeah. Yeah. I think that's something else entirely. Oh, that's right. That's one of my stories was we calculated that I've probably played over the last five or six years, probably those 2,000 hours. Probably. It's not bad. Playing like averaging six hours at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. And yet you're still caught off guard by the fact that they fucking changed shit all the goddamn time. I'll have to keep that in mind whenever Brian continues to play his druid. That's kind of cool. I believe he's been using the old rules for this ship to tank. You want to lead him? Yeah. I know what the bag of holding is. No, no, the three inside the bag of holding. Mystery key has a 5% chance to open any lock that it goes inside of, and it is consumed upon actually opening a lock. The rope of Mending can be cut into multiple pieces and then, I think, recombined with a word. And the movable rod uses a utilize action that puts it in place that doesn't move. Even if it defies gravity, it can hold up to 8,000 pounds of weight. So that one has been the source of many shenanigans. Yeah, that one can be shenanigans. Wait, you mean like a strength check 30 of the movement? Yeah. I accidentally let Eric in a previous campaign fight two of them. And he was a strength dex character. And he would take one and he would... Scale anything. He scaled an entire volcano. Well, you could just scale the air. Well... I had the ground covered with like razor obsidian so they weren't able to like actually walk across. Yeah. And he couldn't fly. But he could do that. But the rod, like you just hold it up and it would stay there. That's exactly what he did. Well, yeah, but I mean you don't even need the volcano. You just do it in the air. Yeah. Right. And then you could like walk across the air. Walk across the air, yeah. So I shouldn't have given him two. There would be real problems with the couple of those. I mean, even with one, you know, an amendable rod, amendable rope, you could probably do some pretty shenaniganing. That's why I always read them. And I did want to give you guys very powerful combat-based magic.
