Session 1

Exactly where you guys left off. If you have any questions, ask me now. So you are Gray. Go tell me your name. Tell me your name. Iridel. Iridel. What did you roll? That's what my deck added. Yeah, but like, what's your deck? Plus one. Okay. The reason I'm asking, I'll go ahead and tell you, is that you and the specter got the same initiative, and the person with the higher overall deck stat was first. Oh, overall deck stat is 13. Yeah. You said what? Overall deck stat is 13. Okay. And you only have a plus one? Yeah, that's what it says. This must be calculating it differently for the specter. I believe you. I believe you. It must have a plus one to count. Okay, that's good. That's good. You actually look great. Jable's got a nat 1 for a cumulative 2. You said you were a... Sorry. 10. Yeah, I rolled a 10. 10? She's my head on what the hell would I do against a ghost. What do you do against a ghost? She does not look happy. She's an unhappy looking ghost. She is looking directly at Jules at this moment. Am I poking her baby with a sword or something? Yes. Okay. Yes, in short. Sorry, I'm going to have to take a second to kind of look at what I've got here that I can do. And you said the cantrips are ones that you can just kind of use whenever or however. They are actions, unless specified. Like some of them are going to be bonus actions, but a handful of them. I can move and then attack, right? You can move and then attack and then move if you still have movement speed. Yes. Yes, there's no, like, end or beginning phase. There will be times where we're rolling potentially. How big is your room? Huh? So, like, a square like this is, like, five feet. So if you, like, move yourself, like, one little tick, that's five. Yeah. People use grid. I don't like grids. Life doesn't come with a grid, damn it. I mean, you can move diagonally. You can move... Up, down, you know. Up, down, up. The distance is all that matters, you know, at the end of the day. Exactly. Standard is like an inch is five feet. Yes, actually. It doesn't translate very well in that regard. Cool. Well, you decide. It makes it pretty easy to, like, guess where I would land. When I was making all those ships, I had that in mind because I was always like, God damn, there's a big boat. My boat is 23 inches long. 10 inches. This is a 110-foot ship. That's a mega yacht right there. Fucking crazy. The only thing I can think of to do that would be... maybe i've got something in books somewhere that i will or something send it you know it's the only thing i can think of information's power man you'll never get me telling you not to do something that gives more info you can always do something like see if you remember if you know how to fight ghosts or something and she'll have you take like a history or a religion check or something like that yeah i think that's what i want to do all right i'm back sorry Alright, I've decided what I want to try to do. I want to study. I want to see if I can remember something from my studies in my temple or whatever about how to fight ghosts. Alright, maybe a history check. Alright, so... You just want to go over and click history? Yeah! Easy peasy. So... Twelve. Twelve. What's your background that gives you insight into ghosts? You said temple? Yeah, because I was in a temple for the god that I was following. Specters are actually a fairly common form of ghosts seen around. People who typically die under very excruciating circumstances will remain on their plane as a specter. You remember that damaging specters like this is Not very straightforward. You can slash it with a sword, but do you remember your master telling you that it was not the best way to do it? You don't remember too much other than that. What else did I turn? What do you think of? I don't know. I was just... You can. That was the only thing I could really think of. That was considered a free action because you sat there and you thought for a moment. So that didn't really take too much of your time. Okay, so I still can... You can actually hurt it with a sword. It's just not exactly the best thing to do. I guess you're sharing that with your comrades? Yeah, I'll share it out loud with everybody. Basically, yeah, what I just... It's like well we can hit this thing with our swords, but it's not gonna do much It's like a little still do something it's just not Yeah, that's all I can do although, but I could do Right now. I actually I don't have I dagger and a short sword in both hands. I do have my short bow in one hand and I guess I could try to hit it with that, just like distract it. Since you guys are like right next to it and I'm a little further away. Yeah. I don't know if that would be... So I will say when it comes to ranged attacks, you make it with like a certain kind of distance. Normally, if you are right up on something, you make ranged attacks with distance. Okay. Oh, really? Yes. What is range? You'll specify. Okay. Like a bow and arrow, a throwing dart, a javelin. Any kind of thrown spell, like firebolt and stuff like that. So what's the threshold for the disadvantage? Is it like half? Five feet. So if I'm within five feet and it's any range, then I get disadvantage. But as long as you're at least ten feet away, it's not considered touch. Okay, so definitely. It's like touch distance. That's really good to know because that changes the order of what I do. Okay, and this is a pretty small room, so I'm definitely within that range. Close quarters combat has its own advantages and disadvantages. Like, it's what Jables wants to happen. It's not quite what you guys want to happen. That's what I was thinking. I was thinking about that specifically because I have... I was thinking about that specifically because I have the sneak attack thing. Yeah. And I was thinking potentially to do that, like, just because... From what I can tell, I'm maybe behind it, maybe not directly in its field of vision. Sneaky Tag is you rolling additional damage whenever you gain advantage. So, like, at this moment, the specter, like, showed up and she, the mini might not be facing towards you guys, but she's aware of all of you guys. Okay, got it. She's looking at Jables. Huh? She's looking at Jables. Yes. So, like, if you were to get, like... Directly on the other side, like if she's facing Jables and attacking, if you get on the direct other side, you get a flanking bonus, which would give you advantage, which gives you your dice. You can also do things like hide. If you take the hide action and then attack, like you'll be able to hide in the bonus action here in the next several levels, so your action economy will change a little bit. Okay, cool. That helps me understand how to use that too. Okay, that makes sense. Yay! Well, honestly, I can't really think of anything to do and since I'm not necessarily right next to it, I think I'm just gonna go with just my thinking and talking out loud. You do have 30 move speed. So if you want to move to the other side of it, if you want to get that flanking bonus, you can move there now. That's true. Okay, yeah. You have the movement for it. That's a good call. Is this true? Yes. That was first combat. I promise you, I won't be hitting it in this fight. Just wait until he gets the spectre shirt. Yeah, I'm gonna... I'll go ahead and... I love it. So since I'm standing... You know, but I am standing in the door, which is kind of a... Yeah, so that's the decision. Like, do you leave the door to move to get the flanking bonus for the next thing, or do you stay in the door? And I can't tell you which one to do. I just wanted to make sure you knew what was available to you. Yeah, good call. I wasn't thinking about that. But I think... I think I might actually stay in the doorway, because I think that's a good spot to be in case... Somebody needs to GTFO for whatever reason. You might still be 10 feet from it in the doorway so you can shoot with your bow if you want to. Yeah, that was going to be 5 inches. It looks like about 10 feet. Exactly how big is this room? More than 5 feet. Yeah, an inch is about 5 feet, so you're at least 2 inches from him. I think it's like 20 feet, 15 feet. If you're like in the doorway. This is like 25 feet. The only one that's within 5 feet right now is Jables, right? Okay, so yeah, so I actually am kind of. Okay, so I'm actually maybe outside of the five foot range then. Yeah, I just confirmed with Grace. Only Jables is within five feet. Okay, cool. Well, I was going to say, in that case, I might as well go ahead just to do something and get a shot at it while it's trying to do things to us. Might as well attempt to make some damage. Sure, sure. I just made more coffee. Since I've got it equipped, I'm sure I would be surprised to be like, oh, shit. I would say this out loud. We can hit it. It's not going to do much, and I would definitely be the one to just go ahead and still shoot anyway. Hit me with your attack roll. All right, so, yeah, I'm going to go with that. I was thinking about doing that originally, so. Oh, no. Unfortunately so. Does that mean I'm up? Is that your turn? Because you can still take your movement or do anything that's considered a reaction or bonus action. I'm going to stay where I am, see anything that can be an action or bonus action. You probably don't have anything right now because you're hard pressed even at higher levels to find good bonus actions, so yes. Could I also go ahead and do search as well? You already searched once, right? No. You did a history check. Yeah, I did a study. You did. Was that a yes or a no? Is that your turn? I'm saying yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know there's stuff you can do, but yes, it is now your turn. Okay. So I start my turn with Sacred Flame. Good choice, good choice. And that's a 1d8, and it says dex 13. I don't know if that's, like, my base attack or what. No, so when it comes to that attack, it's not actually an attack. You're imposing a save on me. So I make a dex check. Okay. 13. Fuck. I'm going to drop my dex on the ground. Okay. So I failed. So I take the damage. But if I were to pass, I take no damage. So I rolled a 5. Is that the damage? On the d8? On the d8. It's a 1d8. It's the roll. Pretty sure. Okay. Because I don't think you'll be adding any modifiers to the level of the mantra. No, I don't have any modifiers right now. What? Sacred Flame's radius damage, right? Sacred Flame is... This is VS... Flame-like Radiance descends on the creature that you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving roll or take 1d8 Radiant damage. And then I will go ahead and position myself between Jables and the Crazy Witch. Alright, what did I miss? Sorry. Is that acceptable to you? That takes it to the Spectre. So, oh, sorry. Is that your turn? Well, I'm going to make a slight comment of, I've seen things like this before. And that's it. I like it. I like it. Got a little flavor? Yeah. So that takes it to the Spectre, who's not happy. You're the only one who's damaged her so far, so she is going to take her life drain attack against you, your Dell. Okay. I assume 19 hits. Hit me. What do I roll the? Oh, AC. Okay. Yeah, it's 14. So. Okay. Okay. So because I got a 19, I'm going to hit you. If I were to have gotten a 14, it's half damage and anything lower would have missed, of course. Okay. She is going to deal some necrotic damage to you. I have resistance and necrotic damage, right? Do you? I believe so. As an ASMR. Where would I check that? I remember reading it, but I don't know where it's at. If you go back to your main page, it'll be at the top. Yeah, defenses, necrotic, resistance. Necrotic and radiant. That's really fucking good, because I rolled well. That's why I jumped. Half of 11. So five? Yes. Thank you, thank you, Michael. Your hit point maximum is also going to be increased by this damage. So my max goes up to 15? It goes down. Oh, my max also goes down. Yes, so when she hits you with this attack, you can feel the life and vitality drain from your body. Is your hit point maximum is going to be reduced by this? Damn. That's rough. Is that the necrotic damage part that does that, or just a special effect of this ghost? It is a quality that ghosts typically have, because necrotic damage, by default, won't do that to you. It did in earlier iterations of D&D, but they considered it too powerful. Oh, I wonder why. With that, so, like, are you bloodied? I just realized that you would have killed me in one hit if I didn't have that resistance. That's level one. How would I know if I'm bloodied? Under half, but I reduced your maximum. So no, I'm at 100% health. I'm at 100% health of five. So I'm not bloodied. It's going to... I got you, Jables. She's going to look at you guys and she's going to say... Is there anything in the crib? Like that black bundle that you like... That I unraveled with my sword. You didn't unravel it, you poked it. I just poked it. Yeah, you didn't unravel it. You need your fucking hands to do that. Thank you for pouring me coffee, mother. I'm pretty dexterous with a great sword. Huh? I said I'm pretty dexterous with a great sword. You gotta do what you gotta do, right? I'm proficient. So, shh. So she's looking at Jonathan. She's looking straight at Iridil right now. She's got like his life, like half of it, I think, literally in the palm of her hand. Oh.

• We have tons of options. So I'm just gonna, we're gonna surround it. I'll give myself advantage with a luck point because I need, you know.

Yeah, yeah, this is the time. It doesn't need to be flagged, it just needs luck. You have resources, this is the time. All right. That'll be 17 to hit. And as my bonus action, I'm going to smite it. Excellent choice. Excellent choice. It's taken 8 damage so far. I guess I'll do my greatsword first. Good battle music. I got quite a repertoire at this point. This one's good. And this would technically be a Fiend or Undead, correct? Yep, she is definitely an Undead. She's gonna take an extra D8, though. This is the good time to bring out all the fucking D8s. That's going to be 18 radiant, 5 slashing. 18 radiant damage? 18 radiant damage to this D8. 18 radiant damage to this D8? Nice. Because it's two D8 and then another D8 since she's undead or fiend. Wow, that's a low-level smite ability? Level 1. Divine smite. You divine smite her down. I hope so. Nice. That was the time. That was the time. That was the time. I'll mark my love for it. I'll mark my special love. Nice. I had a plan for what I was going to do if nothing else worked. Do I get my max health back now that she's down? You don't. How do I get it back? You'll learn. No. Because I can't heal it back because it's my max, right? You dealt some damage to it to help. And then you fucking survived, which was... Oh, no, it was the right call. I just gotta know how to recover. I would have been at one, and that would be my max health. It was the right call. I'm not questioning my action in any way. I just need to know how to recover from it. We'll figure that out. We'll figure that out. You know, this is very... What was that? It wasn't even a full round of combat, so that was six seconds. Y'all are fucking around this room poking at this blanket and this specter appears and nearly fucking kills Irital in a single hit. We got a good group makeup, I guess, for some of this stuff. Yeah, and then fucking, I guess, Jables brings the hammer down on her. I didn't really end up doing shit except for... You only have one turn. Yeah. You only have one turn. And I think it's good that Travis read the room. Oh, man. That was a good call. My plan for what would be next if none of that worked was either one of these two cantrips. I could have done something with a phantom sound kind of deal, or an illusion sound, and I was going to make a baby cry come from the bathroom. That would have been very interesting. That would have been very interesting. You know, I'll tell you guys out of game, but specters are... resistant to most non-magical forms of physical damage. And there are quite a few forms of magical damage.

• As soon as I heard you can hit it with a sword, I was like, it can be smitten.
• You can, which is good. Radiant damage is what you do. Also, not to retcon, but I was incorrect last time. So when I was reading the names for these maps, the fucking savage who put this together, so you have a three-story house, right? What do you name the stories? First story, second story, third story, right? The person who put this together was ground floor, first story, second story. They work in a hotel, for sure.

I was like, what? Yeah, that person works in a hotel, for sure. A lot of European languages, that's just the standard of how you name it. Starts at zero. We technically don't have to change anything because y'all did exactly what you set out to do, which is go to the third floor and then fuck around. You would have just... You wouldn't have talked shit about the kids because they technically were correct with their rendition of their baby brother being on the third floor. That's the only thing that would change. Well, still no one would sign up a basement, so we still would have talked shit about those kids. Moving on. Right. Right. But, yes, just keep that in mind as well. But I had to come clean because I was doing research because I'm like, I know I read this. I know there's three stories. Y'all would be left, of course, in this room. It is now eerily silent after this quick battle.

• Do we check what's waddled up in this crib?
• In the black bundle?
• Yeah, I think so at this point. Yeah, see what caused the fuss. See if there's anything after there, yeah. I'm just gonna continue standing in the door. I am gonna remark at how that was incredibly lucky. That was over so fast. I was like, man, I just shot at that thing completely missed and then now it's dead. I blinked. What the fuck? Six second fights. Fights never go that fast.

Yeah, I would have been loath to kill one of you guys in your first combo, but I would have done it. I saw. I would have done it. You tried to do it. You tried to question my resistance to still do it. I was like, damn, we're going to survive if someone's going to die. Is that gonna be the start? Yeah, guys! It's okay, I'm prepared for that. Someone did die, it was just who we all hoped for. The intended individual did die, yes. It was a great success. So, y'all want me to unravel this baby since I don't have five max health? You're already there. You're technically closer now. You were the one that was also poking at it. I just assumed it was still on you. Uh, as you go to unravel this bundle, Mom is on my sword now. That sounds strange. The mom is on my sword? Lord. Hold on now. Like, it's true, but it's a strange way to put that. Why won't you let me grab this, you son of a bitch? You said my sword was on the baby. It's okay. I was responding. Yes. I was responding. I was saying it into the microphone. Are you using the restroom? Yeah. I should also use the restroom real quick. I'll be right back. The seven cups of coffee have caught up to me. Give me one, Mama. I guess I'll grab a brownie bite. Yeah, these are dank. They're very gooey. I'm going to have to get rid of my plate and not go back for long. They sell like a pack of them at H-E-D. It's like a, it's got like somewhere between four to six of them. You like to dad? Which device do you want to have? Is there a bell for me right here? Uh, no, I need that little bell patch. And typically, when it comes to combat... Check out this move right here. Oh. What fucking move is that? Typically, when it comes to combat, we try to have it go quickly to have everyone's turns be quick. Okay. It makes sense. I wanted you guys to ask all the necessary questions because that was your first combat, and I'll be in an extremely deadly combat thing. I feel like it went pretty quick. It did. Yeah. It did. It did. But, uh... A lot of times in combat it's just very important, bottom line, for you to know what you can do. All you can do. Because there's a shit ton you can do. Do you have any offensive level 1 spells? Way too many. You'll know next time to start blasting. Well, it's Thunderwave and Entangle, so I just figured that my cantrip would be better with the radiant damage for the rest. That was an excellent call. That was an excellent call. Yeah, I basically... You want me to take a nick break? Go for it. I'll load a quick pull here. I'm back in another D&D group where they all smoke. I'm not going to lie, y'all. I was reading that specter all last night, I was like, "What if I kill someone in a single hit?" I don't even know. When we stopped the last session, and it was us fighting a specter, I was like, "Oh man, are we gonna show up and someone's gonna fucking die?" That's not what I wanted, but then I knew that that was, that was, uh... I've been for two weeks waiting to lucky strike this thing and smite it. That's good. That's a good thing for everybody involved. Yeah, I kind of, I need to, now that I don't have that party looming, I'll actually have time to think about this a little bit more. I was really digging into preparing for that for a couple of weeks. It was worth it. It was worth it. It was good shit. Yeah, I still need to decide what I, how I'm going to deal with the recordings. So I'm jobbing. I think I might actually split them up. I like the genre section because I did like 45-ish an hour of deeper minimal then I moved into a little bit more tech house and a little bit of bass house for like 30-45 minutes then I did drum and bass for like 30 minutes something like something like that I'll need to go through and actually do it I counted the software keeps a history of the tracks that you played it was a 60 total tracks over the course of the night it was about three and a half hours hell yeah I got fucking chair walked at one point. Oh, dude, I was standing up next to the fridge. I ripped this joint. I passed the joint. I start getting lightheaded. Things start dimming. I was like, I need water, and I'm going to sit down. I was like, that's what's going to. Whiteheaded. They almost got me. They almost got me. So I was sitting down. They were trying to pass the joint back to me, and I was like, I'm good on that one for now. You said no to a joint? I did. I wish I was there to witness. Do you want to see this, Austin? Oh, it's all painted up and shit now. Nice. It's still so fucking heavy. Yeah. This hand, because you kind of have to, like, hold it weird to get all the nooks and crannies. Like, you would cramp. I'd be like, I'd put this down. You might need to, like, drill a hole in here and, like, hollow it out. That is hollow. And then, like... This is. Really? Oh shit. The only thing that isn't are the side pieces. But this entire thing is an 8mm-ish thickness. And that's still. Still is that heavy. I know it probably would be, yeah, the full thing. Richard walked up. It's almost a workout. Yeah, Richard walked up and like tapped me with it and it hurt. It hurt me. Yeah. You're like, that's a weapon. It does, it does. ...together with silly glue, like, you'd get one really good hit off of it. Oh yeah, no, no, the shooter would be pissed. The police report, glorious. I wouldn't even clean the blood off it afterwards, you know what I'm saying? Maybe the eyeball would blink afterwards, like it does in the game, you know? I was showing this off to my nephews when you sent me one of the videos. A lot of fun doing it. Didn't even take a lot to pick. The hardest part was figuring out how to angle it so it fit on my fucking 3D printer. Each segment to nine hours four segments four segments I was about to ask my dad. He's doing a preheat. You can hit it before it hits zero, but I would wait till it hits zero. Oh yeah. No, I believe in the preheat on these things. And it's on the max temperature. I found that the max temperature is really the only way that it actually gets really baked decently. Otherwise, it feels like it just kind of cools up in there. I got a pretty good hit off it last night. Yeah, but this thing hits really slow in the smile.

• And then I basically don't cough. - Yeah, it's all the weight is in there. - That's so funny.
• Push something down. - Oh yeah, just the bumps on it is like a button principle. So it's just kind of like oddly balanced. - Mm-hmm. - Radiability.

which is perfect for Dark Edge of Insanity. The only thing I have to do is clear coat it now. Eric also had a detail he wanted me to add. He said-- I know where you live. Eric said that whenever I guess you get the weapon, it has an enchantment on it that turns the blade's edge white. So I was going to try to do that. Like not white, but like shimmering white. You can do that with microfiber. Because he's right. Because you put crusader on it and stuff. In the game, it was my favorite PvP axe that I ever get because it has a unique chance on hit as well that no other weapon in the game has. It has this chance on hit for three seconds to make your opponent be, I forget the flavor text it used, but horrified. And so for like three seconds they just lose all control of their character. They're standing there screaming at a little bitch as you wind up the next one. It's a 2.6 second swing.

• So yeah. - Wow, wow. - I got you for three minutes. - Three minutes. Welcome back, welcome back. We're getting stoned. In fact, I should load you a little bit, 'cause now, actually there's still some in here.
• I ain't no snobby. - Well you. - You can do what I do, steal the pen too. - Smoke all the things.

That is an option. I have a couple of them right here, 'cause I have a problem. - Well you may want to hear it, but you need to kill me. I'm going to kill it, but I'm going to keep it. You don't have any fresh ones, do you? You've been doing me a favor, huh? You don't have that many fresh ones, do you? I don't. That's the hardest thing for me to have around. When you do, if you could let me know, you know, if you have an extra. No pressure. This is going to. No pressure, but some pressure. Yeah, a little bit of pressure. Brian's been cracking me the fuck up because he's like, I'm going on a weed hiatus. And then next week he's like, "Okay, can I buy a pen from you?" He's been telling me that since college, so... Yeah, I'm going on a weed hiatus and then he comes over and he's like, "I just need a little bit. One gram a day. Just one gram a day." I'm like, "Okay, Brian. Just take as much as you want. You want a pen too?" But he's fucking... I might have to buy some weed soon. Like today. But... You got weed. Yeah, I'll figure it out before I leave. You got weed. Today fits the definition of soon. I need it for midnight. It's important. 420. Oh, oh. Today's bike day. That is true. I should have brought my Jesus costume. Is it really bicycle day? It's in a little foil pack in the Jesus costume. Okay. Music is sad instead of suspenseful, which is my intentions for it. Is it supposed to be suspenseful, opening the baby carriage? Uh, yeah. In the spectra, it was all supposed to be kind of suspenseful. You get high. You get high. Is it supposed to be sad that we just slaughtered a mother? It is. Well, she's already dead. Then how is she? What is it? I'm dead? What was it? She did. You guys put her out of her literal misery. A lot of this hallucinogenics, they help a lot. I think it's really good for anxiety and depression. I think it's been known. Because they'll give it to them and it works. Ibogaine is one that I've noticed has been really good for addiction specifically. There's been a lot of people that have like, they take Ibogaine and then as soon as they're done, it's like, yeah, whenever they're addicted, you're just immediate, totally done. Sometimes even no withdrawals and stuff like that. Karrut will have a similar effect too, but it takes three days. So, you know, Ibogaine's a better option. Yeah. Although I hear the whatever kind of trip is... goes along with it is not exactly pleasant. Anything that's a significant life change, you know? But at least it's only a day and not three days. Okay. I unraveled the baby. You unraveled the baby? What did we see? Nothing. Is there no baby? Can I, like, check? Yeah, you can. See if there's anything in the room that, uh... What am I rolling? Uh, perception. Everybody who's... Everyone who wants to see, like, generally the room, if you guys want to look for something specific, that would be an investigation check. Uh, 25. Not 20. If there's anything to see, you tell me right now. You tell me right now. Where do I roll that? Perception. Is it one of these? Oh, no, just down here. I'm not doing perception. 19 for you. 25 and a 19. 25, 19, what was yours? Yeah, you know. Yeah? So with the 19, you're not really going to see anything out of the ordinary. Like, this was a room that solely had just this crib, and then now what you guys have produced is like an empty bundle of black blankets. There's no, like, indent in the crib or anything? No. I just had to, you know. No, yeah. I wish. But no. So... Tell me your fucking name. You just smoked two bowls and slapped me. Start with an I. You're Adele. Yes, yes, yes. You're Adele. Standing positioned in the door. Because I say so. You're going to kind of look back in both rooms, and you are actually going to see a small indent behind the mirror in the main room. Something's off about that mirror. In fact, I kind of, you know, I love Walmart, but. Okay. Where is the mirror? Is it like, it's the mirror? Yeah, so you, I'm going to move you subsequently. All right. Flavor text question. Yes. I am a damp air. Yes. Can I see my own reflection? You can see the ASMR side of you in the reflection. Okay. So to me, that's normal. Yeah. And I'm standing in front of the mirror. Yes. You are going to notice that there's actually a secret door behind this room. I opened the door. or on a budget. I love it. So you are going to be able to go into this room. Even though this is the third floor, you are going to find a staircase leading up. Up? Yep. Okay. Do we go to the ghost attic, guys? Research everything else. Yeah. So I guess... Yeah. I think you guys haven't searched this room technically because I do not remember you guys opening this room unless you did and I forgot. No, because I think we went in here and I think by the time when we were in here something else happened over here and we left. So, I think we ended up skipping that. We can go to that room if we want. We can go to the attic. I'm game for either. I'm feeling pretty weak. Yeah. I'd say... And I'm usually one of the ones to just kind of follow along where someone is leading. To me, this is pretty interesting that there's a hidden staircase behind here. You know, we were always suspicious of those kids and the layout of the house didn't seem to make sense based on what we were... Yeah, the house didn't seem to make sense based on like the layout of what we were talking about. You know, we were expecting a basement that we never found. Maybe there's an attic that we weren't told about. I'm going to be saying... So with this out loud. I mean, maybe something's in the attic that can help with whatever that specter did. Yeah. I'd say we just keep going. I'm down for just continuing upward with whatever we've found now, and we can backtrack and look at other stuff later if we feel like we need to. So I'm hearing a yes. Yes. All I know is I'm not leading. I can walk up first. I'm okay with that. All right. Yeah, we'll just keep going up. I'm down for that. Do you have it auto hide or what setting do you have? It should be auto hide. Sometimes if you just click on it and then click back on the main program and then just sit for a second. Yeah, I just gotta let it sit for a second and go away. Or double click the program or you can click the very top of it should give you a little arrow and you can drag it down. Sometimes. Windows so you know all of that is caveated. Yeah, the taskbar is not Linux multi-window task get on my level grace I guess we're having you leave I And I'm just taking it off the roof. The door, is it locked or unlocked? It's unlocked. Well then, guess what I'm about to do? Kick that bitch open. Well I'm gonna just hold on now. Kick that bitch open, bop, bop! I touched some blankets or something. I almost killed it you guys. Go brazenly into every single room. That is what I want. That means that we should not do that. Okay, good. Clocked. Understood. You guys would find yourself... Oh, fuck. You wouldn't see that. You guys would find yourself in a dust and cobweb chotope. I'm sensing something, gang. Something we're not supposed to see. I know. That's why you... Get the boxes! Well, we got some doors. You do. You have three doors. Four doors. Four doors? Yes, you do have four doors. One, two, three, four. Do we want to pick or do we want to let a dice pick? What do you boys pick? Start with the closest one, right? I'm always in favor. Yeah, I was going to say, I'm always in favor of just clockwise, whichever we see first and then go from there. I'm assuming this is counterclockwise, I guess. Yeah. Give a knock on the door. Room service! Do you really? You will hear nothing and the door is locked. Room service! That's exactly what happens.

• The next one, we break, wait, what were we? How good are you at picking locks, Mr. Rowe?
• Did you start with these tools?

Very lightly. I did, yes. I did. So if you want to go ahead and make me a dexterity check, 15 or better. Is it straight dexterity? I'm just curious. I never pick locks, I break doors. I think for tools, you get to add your proficiency to it. That's the bonus of tools. Yeah, it's sleight of hand, right? Yes. Well, that's why I just said a dex check, not a sleight of hand one. - Yeah, 'cause it just says dexterity.

• It says these tools and the successful DC 15 dexterity check. So it's not sleight of hand, it is dexterity, but because it's a tool you get to add your proficiency, which is the same thing, basically.
• But different. - Same difference, yeah. - Okay, so I'm gonna click on my dexterity thing up this top row, and then is it just plus whatever is listed in the proficiency window? So I would do...

It's this one, right? Because it's Dex plus mod. I would ask her, because I've not done this before, but I'm just guessing. So you have proficiency with these tools, let's see, you add your proficiency bonus to ability checks, you make your disarm traps or open mods. So yes, you just go ahead and roll that, add your plus time. And whatever your dex. Yes. Proficiency. Dex save, dex check. Okay, that's dex check. Dex check. Okay, so it's this one. Yes, yes. Okay, so I actually, I rolled two. If you want to roll. I'll just roll another one. Yeah, roll another one. Unless you click on the right one. Yeah, because that's the right one. Those other ones were crashes. Yeah. Well, because it was telling you what it is. Oh, yeah, so down here, dex check 12, yeah. And plus two for proficiency 14, we cry. Just, yeah, just short. Just short. I crack my knuckles and look at this door as I watch. I was like, well, sorry guys, I'm pretty new at this part. Do we want to just check all the other doors or do we want to go ahead and try to force this one? Might as well check the other doors first. He's saying this and I'm looking at the door and I'm like, oh. We'll give it a warning this time. Let it off with a warning. As you guys continue down the hallway, I'm assuming, with the two doors on either side of you, that is going to be... Are you going to go to the one on the left or the right first? Well, I'm following him. I think we're going to pick opposite doors, so whichever one you want to... You're going to want to open two doors at once? That's a good question, actually. That sounds like an excellent idea. See, that's the kind of shit that scares me. It's true. These walls. So left? Or right? I want to listen through both doors. Perception check. Just one? You can go ahead because you're standing right next to both of them. Shit. I guess we're probably arguing over which door we want to open and he's... I got an 8. She said I could do it, so I'm doing it. I got 18. Is that a perception check? Yes, yes. Since you guys are all standing right next to each other. 8, 18. 16. 16. All you guys hear is dead silence. I'll call you in a minute. This could tell you on the same wall. Same wall down here. It might just be another door to the same room. Oh my God. As you open into this room, you will see a web filled room that contains a slender bed, a nice stand and a rocking chair. It seems to be a spare bedroom or so. Not recently used. You said a web filled room? Yes. Like an ab in the horrible world of cobwebs? No, not like huge fat webs, but like... Good. Oh my god. Alright, are we entering this room? I guess we've only just kind of opened it to check in. I think... and take a good look around. Do another.

• You wanna go ahead and give me a perception check? - Yeah, give me a perception check. - There's no button for this, right? - Or anything specific.
• No button, yeah.
• I guess I'm gonna look for anything that's reminiscent of the kids or the people that we've seen in the portraits. Anything that kind of matches up with what I saw in those portraits.

So I'll go ahead and save you the check. This room looks like it was probably used now that you're looking by like a survey. Everything is very plain. There's only like a single small stove and everything seems to be extremely real quality. So nothing resembling anything you've seen so far. In fact, that master bedroom y'all were in just a moment ago, you in particular was very lavish. The one where you found all those jewels and stuff. Okay, so I might note the comparison and be like, wow, that's very lavish. My check was a 23 as well. Yeah, yeah, you definitely yield all that. Okay, fair enough. Next one. Not much in there. Yeah, so we're going to do the room across the hall next. So the room across the hall is a storage room. See this dusty chamber packed with old furniture under white sheets. So you can see like the silhouettes of dressers, chairs, tables. Like once again, everything's filled with cobwebs. Very, very quiet and very still. Nice and creepy. Nice and creepy. Nice and creepy. Did you say there's desks and stuff? Yes. Okay. Anything with some kind of ticing-looking drawers? You know, as you continue to mosey around the truck, I'm thinking y'all are all entering, right? Yeah. Okay. As you walk around and start actually inspecting these, you're going to see near one of the iron stoves is an unlocked wooden trunk containing the skeletal remains of... One of the skeletal remains that are like half out of the trunk. So you can kind of see them like peeking out. Okay. But it's all under a sheet. So you have to kind of get closer to like tell it all. That's cool. What up? Hey, don't eat the cupcakes and the foil thing. from the 420 party. Other than that, it's all pretty much normal for him. So, I guess we're definitely going to remark on the skeleton. I might, yeah, I think we should definitely do a general... I could use the trusty, dusty, great sword. To, uh... Oh my god. I might actually say out loud, Jables, want to do the honors with your sword? I do, I do, honestly. I do. So... Lord have fucking mercy. So that's not... So you're walking up. You're doing what again? You're trying to open it and like... Okay. The chest opens. The sheet removes. You get to see that it is likely a woman because they're wrapped in like a... Or they're dressed in a blood-stained dress. Does the skeleton just, like, stay there? Does it fall? If you broke it with your sword, it just crumbles to the ground. Are you going to inspect the skeleton? Yeah, I am. Yeah, I think so. After it doesn't attack us, yeah. Yeah, I think, per reception, my guess is that this is... The woman from the painting, the wife, the same, maybe the lady that was the specter that we just saw. I'm gonna just kinda do perception. I'll just kinda check if that's what I'm seeing. So I'm gonna hit that button. And it's a 12, it's not so great. - 12, not bad. - Maybe it's further behind. - Is this perception?

• Yes. Or if anything more specific, you can tell me the wrong one. - It's a 19. - 19, what'd you get? - A 10. - Okay.
• And the cat just came back. Good.

The collar is somewhere around here. Oh, you have the tracker? Yeah, the collar is all here, ready to go. Suzanne has it. What's an inside check? Inside, like, let's say, for example, someone was trying to lie to you. It's almost like the antithesis to a deception check. What about medicine? Would that work on a, like, would that yield anything on a skeleton? In this instance, yes. If you wanted to make a medicine check instead, you could. I would like to do that. Yes. Oh, instead of the perception check. So it would have been that same roll, but lower modifier? Yes. Okay, it would be an eight. Yes. So, you got a 19, you said? So, we'll do the perception first, because y'all's rolls wouldn't yield anything too, you know, what's the word I'm looking for? Fuck, I'm stumped. Not too specific. With your eight, you would be able to see that there's blood all over, but you wouldn't Really be able to pick out specifically what's going on here. Jables is going to notice that there's actually what appears to be multiple stab wounds in the dress. In fact, Jables can see that she was stabbed to death at least ten times. He's also going to like actually peer into the chest that she was reaching into and there's gonna be like the lifeless very thin skeletal remains of what is probably like no bigger than a newborn. It's the baby. It's the baby. We gotta go take a look. The whole scene. Jables just kind of takes in the whole scene as you were like poking with your fucking brain. You were the one that was right there in front of it, so it makes sense that you'd be the one to see the most. And I'm a little gnome further away. I feel like we gotta go bury these skeletons or something. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Locked away up here. Yeah, this is definitely... And me is like a temple guy. That's something that I'm thinking about as well. It's like in every religion, you bury the dead or you do something. Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do something with that. It's not this. This isn't right. My thought is gonna be like as a gray face, you know stone face, you know not being necessarily empathetic. What I'm gonna say out loud is I'm like well this explains the haunting. That's all I'm gonna say. I was like well this explains all the ghosts. Eridol would say in my experience touching the dead is never a good idea. Well we got it. And I'm staying. You guys do what you want from me. I'm wrapping them on a machine. You can do just that. I'm going to stay in the room for a second as you start doing that. And I'm just going to kind of start looking around. We just kind of beelined it directly for that. I guess I'm just gonna continue around and was there anything else that's openable in this attic? Like drawers? Because I know he said he was looking for drawers or cabinets and that kind of thing. Anything on the walls? Yeah. Is that gonna wrap them and get them ready to carry while we're... You know, because I don't want a Scooby-Doo. Let's split up. Yeah. No, what? You don't want to split the party? What are you guys in Canada doing? I don't know. I just keep looking at that window. Personally right now, maybe I'll like make my way towards that window and look at it just as like I'm looking around just walking that direction Is it a glass door? It is a window as he described. It's not actually a door. So you see a balcony outside but you cannot access it from where you are Just to make sure I have the orientation of the house correctly. Is that where we came in? Or is where we came in the other side over here? This is where you came in. This is, okay. Yeah, so this is looking over where we originally saw the kids. So I guess I'm kind of looking out here down as well. You still just see Jables' moving on the ground. So I'm going to remark that out loud again. I was like, hey, Luke's still there. Good. Still there. Upon several of you guys taking a moment to further inspect the furniture, pretty much every single drawer is bare, There's not really a whole lot going on in here. It's just a spare bedroom. Other than that lovely little scene that you guys took a look at. Kicked up a lot of dust. Good. Lord. All right. Well, yeah, I guess at this point we'll exit this room and... Are you carrying the bundle now? Are we going to... Yeah, if we're going down, yeah. Yeah, are we going to just go ahead and make a beeline now if there is still one other door that we haven't opened? There's the unopened one and there's the locked one. Yeah, and then the locked one. I'm going to point out, I was like, hey, there's still one other room we haven't checked. Are we going to come back up later or what's the plan with that? I mean, I'd be down to do either. Maybe do a quick check and see if there's anything in here right away that we can see and... Then make the plan of what to do from there. Yeah. Okay. Okay, yeah, we'll go ahead and try opening this door as well. It is unlocked. While we're still holding the bundle. We're able to easily get into this room. Okay. You can see that much like the other one, this is what seems to be a spare bedroom. Dust choked, of course, containing one slender bed and a nightstand. This one, unlike the other one, has a writing desk with a stool, an empty wardrobe, and a smiling doll in a lacy yellow dress that sits in the northern window. Creepy. Cobwebs draping it like a wedding veil. Is there anything? I want to kind of check out this writing desk. Yeah. What type of writing is this? You would be able to find basic stuff like inks, wills, paper. I'm more interested in what they were writing. It is a few notes from one of the servants. Apparently the head butler was the one who stayed in this room. He kept a few notes of his like day to day things. Nothing too extravagant. Nothing cool.

• That there's only one locked door in this whole house.
• Yeah, I am gonna say something about the doll while we're in here since we've noticed it. I'm just gonna be like, man, that's a creepy ass doll. I mean, I gotta at least remark on it. And I kinda wanna do a... Do a perception check while like directly looking at the doll. I don't think investigation is the right check.

Investigation, if you were trying to like... That's like if you're trying to like learn how something works is what it says in here. Yeah. So I just want to do like a perception check specifically on the doll because you mentioned it and I'm feeling like it's out of place or might be somehow significant because wasn't there the little girl out there? There was. Well the little boy had the stuffed bear. Yeah, the little boy had the stuffed bear. I mean, and this is a doll. We didn't see the girl with anything in her hands. I don't remember that being anything mentioned. I'm just gonna, I'm thinking about that when doing this perception check. I might be thinking about grabbing that. Okay. Yeah, make me the check. While he's doing that, I have a question on healing hands. Yes. So the healing hands can't go over max HP, right? Yes. There's some things that grant temporary hits. It just didn't list it here, so I wanted to double check. I assumed that that's how it operated, though. It kind of broke it, otherwise. You might have access to spells later on that will say, like, Restores hit point maximum if reduced. That'll be another specific word you can use. I'm sure that's what you need. I was just curious, because I was looking at it, you know. That's all. With your 22... The only thing that you really find weird is that... Did you share the fact that this was a butler's room? Yeah. Which I thought it was kind of weird that the doll was in the butler's room. That's the only weird thing that you're going to think of when you kind of take a look at this room. It's obviously like a man's room. But everyone's into what they're into, right? Yeah. But... No, I am thinking about it because I know you originally gave your loot to the kid as like a comfort thing. And I'm thinking about that same kind of thing and thinking about, because part of what I'm trying to do is learn how to be a more empathetic person. So I'm trying to follow an example. And I'm like, I'm going to think about that. And I'm going to pick up this doll. And I did a perception check. Am I noticing that it's like damaged or anything like that? It is damaged. OK, so it's still in good condition. It's all just dusty and topsy. Yeah, I think I'm going to pick it up. And I'm just gonna kinda carry it with me. I don't know that I'm gonna say out loud that I'm taking it for the little girl though. I might just grab it.

• Do you wanna try to give this door one more hint on your way back or with your tools?
• Uh.
• It is something you could do multiple times. Now if you sit there and you try to like force a lock by doing it over and over again, things will happen.
• You have a chance to like break your tools and stuff. - Can I intimidate the door? - Not like this time. In the cancel shaker zone.

I'm gonna laugh. You do that at some point, it'll actually work. It works. But wait, why did it open? The door gives a little beep, and then unlocks it. Props open. Yeah, I mean, if it doesn't unlock this time, I'd be down to try and break it open, but I'd want to bury these two first. Yeah, okay, so as we're walking out, I was like, well, we still got that locked one. I'll go ahead and give it another shot. And yeah, I don't have him giving a shot. So which one was that again? Just dex check that you get to add your proficiency. Yeah, dex check. 19 and then plus two, 21. Nice. So this time around, you're able to successfully take this course. This room contains a bricked up window flanked by two dusty wood-framed beds sized for children. Closer to the door is a toy chest with windmills painted on its sides and a dollhouse that is a perfect replica of this dreary edifice in which you stand. These furnaces are draped in cobwebs. Lying in the middle of the floor are two small skeletons wearing tattered but familiar clothing. The smaller of the two cradles, a stuffed doll that you also recognize. Do I sense anything before I enter the room? Yeah, some ghost shit. He's entered, right? Because he opened it. Yeah. You said some ghost shit? No, you said stuffed doll. Is that like the stuffed toy that the boy was holding? If you take a look at both of these skeletons, you immediately recognize it to be the two kids that you talked with in the beginning. They're clothed. They're the same. The doll is the same for the seven-year-old boy. It is just now their skeletons draped on the floor. Also, one more thing to note is that you would see that they had a dollhouse that is a perfect replica of this house that you've understood so far. What do you guys do? I examine the dollhouse. I want to see if there's anything different from what we've seen. Per second, Jack. I'm, uh, 11. You see that there's quite a few rooms that you guys haven't been in, but you don't really see too much that you haven't already noticed. Not with an 11. Right. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Roll better! I blame your little roll train here. Is it yours? No, it's not mine. Yeah, it's your roll train. Yeah, I blame him on roll train. I am blaming your roll train. Notice I roll on my notebook. Yeah, see? He knows. He knows it's the problem. So what is everyone else doing in this room?

• I mean, I got a fucking, you've paired these ones.
• Yeah, and you've got your bundle thing. And my first thought is literally what I was just talking about where I was taking the doll for the girl. And if this is the girl and that was the boy and he's got his toy, my thought is I'm gonna be walking over and I'm just gonna immediately set the doll down with the girl. I think that's what I'm gonna do first thing in here without really saying anything.

'Cause like I said before, like I'm thinking about before like trying to be better with the whole empathetic thing and all that and i'm trying to be true to my temple origins and that kind of deal so that's yeah that's what i'm doing i'm just going to immediately set the dog on there i'm going to be helping you wrap now because if i've got the mom and the baby wrapped in the sheet i'm going to put like unwrap so that i can put them all together maybe maybe we both have to work together to carry it out i'm not sure if that's like a I'm pretty easy. Okay, yeah, sorry. That's right, I'm pretty tiny. I don't think I'm going to be very useful to them. Yeah, children's bones, right? Yes. Airedale still does not touch the dead. That's true. Fair enough. A lot of dead now. As you go to handle the remains of these two children, you are actually going to see them in their spectral forms up here before you guys. I try to talk to them. Like our dollhouse? It's impressive. Are you going to take this away? Where are you trying to go? I guess we died. What can help you rest? You know, and I guess I'm standing there. I just assumed that this was her doll. I'm going to be the way that I am. I'm going to be like, this is your doll, right? I'm just going to ask that question out loud. It's actually not my doll. Is the butler, like, really creepy? Yeah, that's going to make me pause for a second. I was like, oh, it's... I'm going to immediately question him like, oh, it's... Are you talking about Uncle Butler? No. Sorry, that's pretty funny. She will not... She doesn't remark on the father. That's funny. All right, now... Here we go. I was going to say, yeah. I think we should leave them. Because they don't know anything and they don't know how they can rest. So how can we help them? You want to leave us? No, I'm hot as hell. Not you, but thank you for that. I feel compelled to at least properly bury these because I feel they deserve it. They've been nice to us. I'm also going to agree with that. I understand Iridil's apprehension. And that's why we were saying we can handle this. You don't have to worry about this. I understand you're nervous about it. At this point, there's nothing else that we can really do on this floor. We checked out the dollhouse. You said that was that just like a toy chest, you said? So they did have a toy chest, and then they had the dollhouse. Iridel took a look at the dollhouse. And we haven't looked at the... We saw basically nothing, except that there's rooms behind the ceiling. I don't know if anyone else was looking at the dollhouse. Yeah. The dollhouse. Well, they did specifically say, did you like our dollhouse? And I'm already now I'm like confused about the doll and it not being hers and then the dollhouse. So I might take a look at the dollhouse because now, I don't know, like I still want to bury them, but now like I'm suspicious again. Like at first I was like, oh, we solved it, but then there's acting weird again. So, and yeah, I'm not necessarily pathetic, but I'm also not stupid, so I'm noticing it. So I'm also, I'm going to take a look at the dollhouse, I think. Perception? Perception. - Looking at either one of these things.

• Have I successfully packed up bones?
• Easily, yeah. Their skeletons are done.
• I just wanted to make sure that that was done.
• 16.
• I've left the new doll out of the pack up because I'm like, it's not her side. - Right, it wasn't theirs. - Yeah, like I've set it aside at this point.
• You said 16?
• Yeah, 16.
• So with the 16, that is actually enough for you to notice that there's multiple secrets. Areas in this house that are hidden behind like dressers and walls and stuff, but you were able to find them all.

Okay, all of them. Are there any on this floor that we could see and where are there entrances? There is! Okay, so I'm going to be... There was one in that room y'all were just in. Yeah, I'm going to immediately like say something like, man, I thought we checked out that room, but look at this. I'm going to point it out in the... I'm gonna point out all of these to everybody in the dollhouse as I as I find them If you guys go to other floors I'll reveal the secret ones. Okay, so maybe as we go down the floors They are still in the room with you guys I want to ask how I'm gonna be like you have these secret doors and stuff Do y'all know where they go? Do y'all know they just go to the other floors or is there? Have y'all ever taken them? Were you told not to because there was a monster at the bottom? Yeah, would you believe? There's a monster in the basement. Would I believe that the people who locked their children up to start death would say something like that? Yeah, maybe. All right, so yeah, as I'm doing this, so I'm looking for specifically how to get into the one that's on this floor, and I'm going to say out loud how we get in. Easily done. In fact, upon... Fuck. Upon you guys making it there, you would notice that there are grooves in the small bit that there wasn't before. Allowing you to open a hatch and make it into this secret staircase. You guys would all level up. Level up? Yep. You guys all level to upon finding this. And your hit point maximum will be restored. I don't know if it normally is, I've never had someone level up before at point-based. I'm gonna be nice and say it's restored. So how do we do this? How do we level up? So you're gonna go back to your character builder. Do you just literally move to level two on this little thing here? Yeah. So like this, so just right here? Yep, precisely so. And you should be able to scroll down and see anything that you've gained. If at all. You might not gain a lot until three, but you at least get your health, which it should automatically calculate. Yeah, it doesn't, I don't think there's anything like that. Wild companion. You can summon a nature spirit that assumes an animal form to aid. Did increase my... As a magic action, you can expend a spell slot or use wild shape to cast a fine familiar spell without material propellant. Optional feature... Yeah, I don't... We'll get another one. One more. Yeah, everything else stayed the same, I think. That's fine. You got cutting attack. Oh, did... Oh, yeah. That's... Yeah, so that's... There you go. Quick thinking. Okay, so now I got it. It's a little bit faster stuff. Ooh, I got some more bonus actions. Dash, disengage your hide. Nice, that's good, because the only bonus action I had before was the second hand attack thing. So, is it the fixed HP? It didn't automatically calculate. So is it the fixed HP that I'm going to? It should be fixed, yes. It would raise you to what? You were at 11 before? I was at 10. 10 before? This is 13 for the fixed HP, so that's what I was asking. It feels like you should be getting more. Well, you did drop from the thing. Does that affect it? Did you actually put in your reduced hit point maximum in there? Yeah. You might have to do that, but yes, it should give you five sounds right. Five per level sounds. Okay, so I should be at 15. Yes. What's your con? My con is 15. Oh, and do I heal back to max too? So I'm at 15 health with 15 health. Nice. Appreciate you. Walking around with five was getting real, real concerning. Well, yeah, of course. I mean, you know, it's like when you get a, when you get like three loot chests with all the health pots in them, you know, in an RPG game. Yeah. Question for. Are we going to keep carrying these bodies as we investigate this? Well, that was going to be my question. Do we want to go down these first, or can I go bury these guys and get my fucking milk? Yeah, because I know since we've looked at the dollhouse, we know the whole layout of the house. I'm also thinking it might be a good idea to at least get outside. And maybe attempt to bury them. Maybe we just bury them really quickly, like right outside the house or something, and then go back to finish investigating if we can pull that off. It's just a quick six-foot hole. Or four. Because I would like to get my loot back, so it's convenient to bury them and get it back at the same time. Yeah, yeah. I'm down for that, yeah, because we have kept checking for it. And then I can keep my promise after we bury them. I can play them. It won't be the greatest eulogy in the world, but a little tribute. Yeah, you know. A little tribute. Just a tribute. You guys did not do that. First floor, right? Sorry, what? You guys didn't actually go into any rooms. You went in here and then you went straight up the stairs, yes? I believe that's correct, yes. Okay. Yeah, I think. I don't remember. All we would know of it is whatever they noticed from the dollhouse. You guys are leaving and burying them? So you guys are going all the way down to the first floor? I'm just burying them in the front yard. Yeah, because we're going back and forth. Right by my room. Yeah. And then I'm going to play them a little ballad because I promised the kid I would. How long does it usually take to dig 650 holes? I guess I should do it properly. I should do it properly. But also, they're all bones already, so they don't take up the full... They don't take up... Yeah, no, it's not like, yeah. It's not like a whole big thing. So tell me exactly what you're doing, how much time you're willing to invest in these holes. Just lay it out. Paint me the picture. It's true. Let me think. Do we have anything... Do you even have a shovel in your bag? I might be noticing this when I get out there with the bag of bones that I'm not equipped to dig a hole. I might just have to play them the song. I might put the bag in the bushes. We're having this debate out loud as we get down there. We're like, oh, shit, so how do we dig this hole? How do we dig a hole? I have a shovel with me. I was like, well, I'm a gnome. Do gnomes have, like, a natural... I'm gonna... I'm gonna... Here's my plan. Here's my plan. I got a new idea. I have a very new plan. I think everyone can get on board with it. I'm gonna grab my loot, and then we're gonna go back inside, and I'm gonna take the bag of bones and put it in the fireplace. Oh, cremate them. Boom. We can do fire shit. Boom. Boom. And if not, if there's no fire, if there's no log... I have fire though. Cantrip. Are you willing to help us out with this? You were talking about Nani wanting to touch the dead. I'll set him on fire. Okay. Don't get rid of him. Yeah. Fire is purifying. Yeah. I agree with that. We'll go for that. Yeah. Because we are wanting to kind of purify the whole thing. And then as they're burning, I can... Yeah, play them. Give them their tribute. Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, this is a plan. We've discussed this outside and we're, we're, we literally. It'll take 12 hours. We're probably, yeah, we're probably like. I suppose in character, I would say, I can help at this point. You know, technically, if no, if they're not doing completely strenuous things for the 30, if we can consider it a short rest. If I play my musical instrument for my allies during my short rest, I can give them inspiration. So you guys come back inside, throw them in the fireplace. Iridel's hitting them with the control flame. Yeah, produce flame. Produce flame. You're starting to burn it up. I guess maybe I'm doing a prayer from my temple faith as it's happening. Okay. And then you can maybe get started with your loop plan and we'll solve it. And Aragel is just curled up in the corner. As you guys do this... Kind of looking like a feral animal. Once you guys roll a d100... A what? Who wants to roll the d100? We're rolling a d100? Mm-hmm. Is there any advantage? Any modifier? No, it's just a d100. Okay. Well, you know, you have the D-100. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Do you want an actual D-100 or? No, no. That's a trap. That's a trap. I got 45. Right in the middle of the chart. Y'all think to try to attempt a short rest. Happens. Yes, happens about incident. Nothing comes out of the walls. Yeah, okay, cool. So we get our short rest and we've done our little thing. It was like, well... And y'all both have inspiration at the moment from me playing my... What does that do specifically? Is that something I can add in here, like a condition? Yeah, so if you go right here, it's called heroic inspiration. You can click it. Oh, heroic inspiration. And it's essentially just a free reroll. Oh, okay. You can give yourself advantage. Neat. Uh... I get it. Wait, hold on. I marked the heroic inspiration? Okay. Because you technically already had one from your sneeze. You can only have one, right? You can only have one. I might have accidentally checked restore maximum health and it may have put it to 17. That's fine. That sounds right. Okay. I just wanted to check in on that because... Those numbers sound too low. You're a druid and druids are relatively safe. Oh, yeah. So I just click short rest and then what else do we do? Reset maximum HP... Yeah, nothing happened to me so it doesn't matter. It's 15 and then it has a plus 2. Does it tell you what your hit dice are? I think it's an 8. I mean your hit point dice. Oh. Off the top of your head, do you know if druids are a d8 hit point? I think it's a d8. Yeah. See, so because then, so yeah, so first level. Yeah, that would have been 10 health. So that is crazy. But then, so like since you have a D8, average health just since you leveled up is the only time you average up, because it's half of your D8 plus one, so five, plus your card, seven, so it's four while we're down here. Yes, we were going to go just right back to where we were. It's the only time you get to round up. Because it's just this one and then above, right? And that's all we've seen so far. But now I'm based on that we haven't seen the entrance, but I

• So otherwise the trunk-- - I've seen in my dollhouse.
• You've now thoroughly searched the third floor in the attic. The attic is where you found that staircase. You really haven't come to the first or the second floor. - Right, okay. - But you would know, given that you studied the anatomy of the dollhouse, that that staircase in the attic spirals all the way down through the house. So that's kind of what you're able to perceive right there.
• Okay, so I'm gonna be like, I'll be thinking about that, I'll be saying out loud as we're finishing up, So that spiral staircase that we were about to go down, it's right over here on this wall, as we're kind of staying there looking at it. It's right over here by this wall. It goes all the way down even below this floor. You know, we never really checked anything else out on this floor.

You want to go see the monster? Yeah, do we want to go straight to the monsters in the basement before we investigate everything else? We can check this floor if we want. Maybe there's some potions or something. Who knows? Yeah, first floor, maybe there's a kitchen. Maybe there's something we can get to. Maybe there's another specter. Maybe there is. A room that wants to fight and a paladin that wants to loot. Because we did. Because we did. We did have the mom and we saw the kids. We haven't seen the dad. And there's also the talk of the monster. Is the dad the monster? I don't know. In retrospect. My intelligence is 8. I don't have much input on that. - No, I was just kind of thinking out loud. I was like, do we want to check any of the other floors? I'll basically defer to you. Like I said, I'm not pushy on things. So I'm asking this out loud. Do you want to check this floor or do you just want to go right back to, 'cause you were saying you were drawn that way. Do you just want to keep going?

• I didn't say that. - Or no, was that?
• I said it was curious that there was a palette and that wanted to loot. And a rogue that wants to fight.

I don't know about that. No, I was talking about it. I was remembering something else. I was remembering from before when we were in that other hallway. Okay. I don't know.

• Two, three, four.
• I'm saying that and I was talking about and kind of looking near the wall where that spiral staircase is since I saw the layout of everything. So I'm looking at that door that's closest to the fireplace on the opposite wall. - This one? - Yeah, that one. 'Cause that's the door I'm closest next to.
• So if you attempt to open this door, it will open right up and it reveals a dining room.
• Ooh, dining room, cool.

Is the table set? Like, what are we now? It is a fully set table. No food. Cobwebs is the only thing on the menu. What type of, what else on the? Well, what's above the fireplace? Is that a portrait? Is that a portrait? Or is there, like, anything on the mantle up there? Anything of note? Anything we can see? You're noticing that there's a crystal chandelier above this huge table. Quite a few of these different things are covered with resplendent silverware, crystalware polished at one point. Mounted above the marble fireplace is a mahogany framed painting of an alpine veil. So that's what you're seeing there. You're also noticing the wall paneling - Wall paneling is carved with elegant images of deers among trees.

• Okay.
• So this area, while being old, is very lavish.
• Okay, is it still, you said it's still like dusty and cobwebby, same kind of not maintained like everything else?
• Yes.
• Yeah. Can I roll just like a general perception check and see if I notice anything? out of the ordinary in terms of things sticking out of the walls or whatever. Because I had noticed secret passages before. And I noticed basically the whole layout when I was looking at the dollhouse.

That's right. So I'd be looking-- This room does not have any secret rooms. Yeah, so I would just be looking for anything that's just out of the ordinary like that. Because I saw secret rooms on there. Maybe there's some other secret rooms that weren't on there at the dollhouse. Perception. What's everyone else doing? I want to kind of look around. Kind of see what the silverware section looks like. I'm trying to see if I can find like either stuff made out of silver. It's all made out of silver. It's all made out of silver. How many, can I yoink some of these silver knives? How many can I yoink? The table is set for eight people, so you can yoink probably 12-ish knives. So a dozen knives. Silver knives? Yeah. So I'm gonna pack them up. What was your check? I think it was a seven. Seven? Yeah, it was real bad. You know that this room is nice, but you're not noticing anything that really sticks out to you? Yeah, pretty obvious. What do you need? Is that like curtains all across the side there? Yes. Luxurious red velvet ones, yes. I examined those. Okay. Perception. Perception. 18. 18. You see that they are, you know, extremely nice, albeit old. You're also going to notice that, you know, at the very bottoms, the embroidery that you saw that was very elegant kind of sticks out to you now as like having skulls. Interesting. And you notice some really kind of cryptic, very subtle detailing in some of these curtains. And then you notice that on the walls... You notice it kind of almost silverware to. The mark of death is everywhere. It is. I say that out loud so that everyone can hear. At this point I might already be backing out and... I'm like tucking the knives away and just like... I'm also noticing him taking the knives and... How did you make these coasters? Did you buy them this way? I had someone play during grade one for me that were... I told him I wanted them to be inappropriate. He applied. It's quite successful, I'd say. Y'all are back out in this main route, I guess, main area. Y'all going up the stairs? Y'all investigating any of these other rooms? We wanted to check the more rooms, or we want to... Yeah, I say we're just going to be checking rooms. We may as well continue. Yeah, next room. I guess we're standing right outside that door. This one? Did we check the small closet? Yeah, the small closet, yeah. On the way to the... You'll open it to notice the dumbwaiter. The dumbwaiter? Okay. Dumbwaiter. How dumb? How dumb is he? And nothing in the dumbwaiter, just totally empty. Yes. But that's good to know because that means it could go up or down. Whoever knows how many floors could be useful. It usually does. So I just take note of that maybe. And at this point, I'm going to go directly across the hall to the other floor. Yeah, that's the direction I'm walking. All right. Is y'all on? Yeah. As you walk up to this room, the door opens easily. It reveals... This oak-paneled room looks like a hunter's den. Mounted above the fireplace is a stag's head, and positioned around the outskirts of the room are three stuffed wolves. Two very nicely padded chairs draped in animal furs face the hearth with an oak table between them, supporting a cask of wine, two carved wooden goblets, and a pipe rack, a candelabrum as well. This room, you guys will immediately notice, is not cobwebbed. It is very nicely maintained. Almost seems like it was cleaned recently. You would also see two cabinets standing against the wall. I inspect the wolf that's closest to the door, the stuffed wolf. The taxidermy is excellent. Very lifelike. I tried talking to him. I did walk in the door first and I'm gonna be, I guess I'm just gonna start. What do you say to the stuffed wolf? Sorry. I'm gonna be walking towards the end. You can continue your stuff first actually while I'm thinking about what happened. I would say, what have they done to you? What have they done to you? The wolf stares back with I'm going to be dumb, blunt, gray at this point. I'm going to say, you've never seen taxidermy before? I'm just going to say that out loud like a dummy. Damn. Erdogan rolls her eyes. I'm interested in that pipe. I might check and see what that is. It looks like it's been smoked recently. What's been smoked out of it? You know, I'm very interested. Give it a good sniff. It's not like warm to the touch, but it is loaded. With? I guess common knowledge is pipe tobacco. I'm going to, you know, is there a lighter? Yeah. Just gonna start squirming this way. I think there would be a way to light it. You can definitely take it. Do I have a coin on me? I'm gonna flip a coin. Flip a coin on why you're gonna do this. Just roll high low. Here we go, Swede. Yeah, high as heads, tails as low. And on heads, I gotta take a hit, you know? Wasn't meant for me. Some bush weed. Wasn't meant for me. That's funny. I might start inspecting some of these cabinets that are against the wall. While also saying out loud, this is obviously the dad's room. It looks clean though. Like I said, these things that we've noticed I'm going to be saying out loud sometimes just like, no. I respect it. I respect it. Always good to reinforce out loud in case other characters aren't noticing. Yeah. So what else are y'all doing? - That's what I meant by like investigate, I'm like. - Okay, so if you open the cabinets, sorry. I am stoned as fuck. - I, I, I, I. - I shouldn't, I shouldn't smoke that much weed. - What the fuck? - And I have weed loaded right there. Two cabinets. As you open them, you'll see one of them holds a heavy crossbow. One of them holds a light crossbow and a hand crossbow. That's a lot of stuff. Say them again. There's essentially a heavy, light, and a hand crossbow in these two cabinets, in addition to a shit ton of bolts. I think we take them. Yeah, I was going to say... We're about to go to the basement. The kids said there was a monster in the basement. How much of it can we grab? And you said that this hand crossbow, that's probably the right size for me. Yeah. So I'm going to grab that and... How many bolts are there, you said? There would be enough for each to have 20. Okay. And would we be able to just carry that and not even shoot, I guess? You would. Okay. Yeah. So I'm just, yeah. I say I'm just going to grab, say we should split this up evenly as I'm walking there, looking up. I'm definitely grabbing the hand one for myself because we need it. How do we how would we add something like this to the inventory? So you go all the way to the side? I don't think it's to... I don't believe so. I mean, you know, so, you know, I can... I can use anything. I want it. Yeah. You use it. How effectively? It's true. God, all things are possible. How do you know if you can use it, I guess, if you have the proficiency for it? It would be on your character sheet under proficiencies, just on the front page. Yes. So I think that's considered like a simple one. Yeah, weapons cross-throw is listed under weapons. Okay, I'm proficient with simple and martial, but I think I just pick... Which two? Don't I? You're proficient with all of them if you have that proficiency. Oh, okay. I have that as well. I have simple and martial. I think crossbows... We'll have to see. I was just looking over it. Under my left side, under weapons, it just says crossbows specifically. I don't know if that means I can... It might. Fuck, it might. Crossbows are kind of its own thing. But... Can we just add them to the party inventory to examine them and then distribute them from there? Absolutely. Absolutely. Easily done. What were they again? There's a heavy crossbow. Light crossbow, and he's adding the hand crossbow to his inventory, so you would only have to add the heavy and the light. Heavy crossbow of warning. Dragon slayer heavy crossbow. That one. One of these days. One of these days. One of these days. This is what I'm saying, Grace. You tell me which one of these is like, how do I get to the type of crossbow that you have spawned in front of me? So for some reason, I clicked on common, and I erased everything except HEA, and I see heavy crossbow. Nice. So I'm going to go ahead and bam, add it. I'll do it with the regular crossbow too. Perfect. There's some things about D&D Beyond that I fail to understand. Search is a hard thing to get right. It is, especially when you have so many items. And every website does it differently too, so you have to know how that website handles it. Right, yeah. Because it's how it decides semantic is semantic. Right. Should be on. So yeah, and then the light crossbow is simple. Two-handed slow range. And the heavy is two-handed push range. Does strength matter for the weight at all? We could split these however you want, Travis. However Jables wants. I assume Jables wants the heavy one. Because it looks particularly cool, but that's just an assumption.

• It might be versatile. - It might be random.
• Damage is 1d10 plus one. Damage type is piercing. Weight is 18. Cost is 50. Properties, ammunition, heavy loading range, two-handed push. I don't see anything that says how it scales.
• Yeah, no. I'm seeing the exact same. So I mean, maybe I can use the strength. I don't know. We'll see how God rules it, you know?

I'm probably gonna smoke a squirrel shit in the bathrooms. Let's see if I can hit this button to charge. Say, I like it when they let you. Yeah, I wish it did. I was gonna load this thing up, it got very sudden. I hope my best factory didn't kill us. Yeah, that was nice. I got to see what's my wish. I wish I had thought about doing the baby cry thing earlier on. Yeah, you're right. It seems fun right now. Otherwise, it'd be a chore. I'm not gonna lie, first time smiting something, pretty cool. It was a good time to just... Smite's a cool one. All in. Is it an undead? Perfect time to be undead. Yeah, I had 22 health. Jesus. Sorry, it had eight damage still. It had twice my health. It did. It had twice your health. What's its CR? One? It's not one. One. It's one? They call that a CR1? These guys. These guys are crazy. No AC? You hit it, right? Yeah, what's the JC? 12. Oh, okay. It's not too high. Okay. Yeah, I know, but I had the 17. I was like, please, God. Please. They set it up to where there's a very small chance that you don't have that encounter before you get to level 2, so you literally have... It has two D6s as its attack. So it rolled... Almost max against Joe! That's crazy. One off max. One off max. And then it reduces your health by that much and of course you just straight up die. And you start shriveling away. Yeah, it's great. It would only be better if it added that to its own health, but no, they're not that cruel. I thought it was gonna do something like that, just with the way the attack was worded, the name of it, I forget the name of it. Lifetrain? Yeah, and then when it, you know, capped the max health, I was like, oh, look at the different kind. It's the bad kind. It's the really bad kind, but it's good. Somehow. I've been walking around with one health. I probably would have rolled my ice against you, though. If it did, that would have done it. You'd have hit me, too, because I had my greatsword out, so I was only at 16 AC, but even with my shield, I'm only at 18 AC. I got a 19. It rolled really well. That's why when it said 19, he was looking at his AC. I was like, no, it's going to be good. I didn't want to break it so roughly. I was like, that's going to be it. I know. Last night, I was reading the rest of this. I'm like, am I going to have to kill someone? Am I going to have to kill someone right away? I'm glad I didn't. That would have been the second time I've had to do that. I haven't put you guys in the incinerator room yet, it's flagged. I have some cruel starts to these campaigns, but they're great. All of them. You know, it's way easier making a character the second time. My work one note two, it's not a bad tool for the boxes. So for level two, never mind, never mind, that's dumb. But so these fighting stances though, you've never done with paladin? No, but I could read about it if you want advice on it. No, probably just going to go with blessed warrior. Ah, like which one's the best? Choose the one that your heart desires. Well, it's just the fighting styles are weird. Because that sounds more like a fighter than a church candidate. The perfect time like for the music to get very sober is you continue to find the bodies of children. Perfect. So you guys successfully looted this room, looked around, stared at the text and are like, what are y'all doing? So if we've already alluded everything, there's nothing else particularly of note other than that it's pretty obviously what we think is the dad's room. Yep. And at this point, we've got one other room on this floor. Do we want to go ahead and check it out? We've got this little other door over here. I say we go ahead and open up that room. You guys think? Let's go for it. You guys come over here to this room. It is. Yes, it is locked. Did we divvy up the crossbows yet? Oh yeah, did we? Did you guys decide? Because I picked up the one that's going to be good for me. Yeah, because I took the hand one because that just makes sense for somebody my size in my opinion. I don't know how much all of us would be able to use it, but it's like. We might as well split them all up. There's three of them and three of us. If we're expecting a monster. Yeah, if we're expecting a monster. Only a little bit of monster, actually. But I'll let you guys dig those up. You would have 20 crossbows each. As you open the door to this room in particular, you would notice that it is a pantry. Pantry, okay. Yeah, I see we got the stove. Is that an extra door that I see over there as well? Actually, no, this is a kitchen. Sorry. If you went over in here, this is a kitchen. Yeah, okay. Fair enough. You know, not a lot going on here other than, you know, a lot of food that seems... I was going to say, yeah, I'm going to, like, check out this food and, like, is it fresh? Is it, like, falling apart moldy? This is all, like, it's all very obviously, like, falling apart and... "Mome" isn't quite the word. It almost seems to be in like a state of almost petrification. Okay, interesting. So like almost magical. Yes, it's some weird way between stale and not stale. You're not sure about any of it. But it is not a really well-stocked pantry, but there are some things here and there and there and here. My first thought was like, if there's anything in here that seems decent, I might like absolutely pick it up and eat it. But I'm definitely going to be like, that's looking a little bit funky. And so I'm not going to do that. You would not feel compelled. Is there nothing in here of value? I know he was looking for silverware or anything like that. And he's been looking for things like that. And I've still got those jewel, that jewelry on the other floor in the back of my mind. And I'm thinking about that, wondering if I should just go ahead and grab it. Me being, From the temple being new to the whole rogue thing and still being a little bit not too keen on the stealing. So looking around this room, you say you're looking for like silverware or things like that? Yeah, just because that's what he was doing before and my mind is just kind of, I'm learning from him about things, so I'm learning that thing as well. You'd see a lot of cookware and some dishware, but the things in this room in particular aren't silver. That was more for the very nice plate setting out there. Makes sense. But if you wanted to find any kind of kitchen item, you'd be able to have it. Stealing. If you're going to do something, never do it for free. I can't think of anything that I would need. I was just thinking along those lines because I'm starting to think about getting into a little bit of stealing stuff. Stealing. You keep using that word. I mean, borrowing. Picking up. Picking up. Did we clean up their house? So with that, y'all have more or less sussed out every room on this floor. Do y'all want to do anything more in the kitchen? Did we exercise the specter? No, I don't think so. Not on this floor in particular, but you did. Yeah, I think it's time to go upstairs. A little silver heater, some crossbows there. That's... If you guys are ready, I think it's time to go up to the floor. I have a question for you. The spell attack plus five, is that supposed to be added to my... So like whenever you... You know how when I'm... So if I were to roll for my greatsword attack, I add like my strength and my proficiency bonus. You get to add plus five like to your d20 roll when you make a spell attack. So what spells you got? Okay. That are... The d20 is just to see if it hits, right? So that's just more likely to hit. Yeah, yeah. See, because this one's off. The modifier is like your actual spell attack modifier. So what are you using for it? Is it intellect or is it wisdom? Oh, so that's why it's supposed to fire. What's your wisdom at? Okay, so that's why it's plus three. Yeah, see? Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. It's already applied. Yeah, and then so that plus five is just adding your proficiency with it because your spell attack, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. Appreciate it. What are we doing? No, you're good. I think y'all were deciding whether or not you wanted to head up because you had kind of figured out. What was happening on this one? Yeah, there's that. We already did all the perception. We checked that back room and everything. This right here, yeah. It was a kitchen and a pantry. Not a life-giving. Pantry, the food was kind of like, it's not moldy, but yeah, not like, yeah, it was kind of like petrified-ish. Secret passage? I'd say time to go. Secret tunnel. So you want to go all the way up to the top? I was going to say just up one more floor. You want to go check out the jewelry? Yeah, just because I'm thinking about that and that's... The jewelry? Yeah, because we didn't. Oh, we didn't. Oh, we never looked at floor two. Yeah, you guys went straight up all the way to floor three. It's because we skipped it. Yeah, we just decided to skip it. I'd say if we have to go all the way to the top to go back down, do we want to go ahead and investigate this one or do we want to save it? There's a door, like, right here on the stairs. That's true. I'm going to, like, you know, check the knob. Is the knob unlocked? As you're walking. Now that y'all are deciding to stay on the floor, let me give you a little description. Unlit oil lamps are mounted on the walls of this elegant hall. Hanging above the mantel place is a wood-framed portrait of the Durst family, Gustav, Elizabeth, and you see their two smiling children, Rose and Thorn. Cradled in their father's arms is a swaddled baby, which the mother regards with a hint of scorn. Very specific, but you would pick up on it. You would also see what these things are right here. Our suits of armor lining the walls. Is their armor nicer than mine? It's very, it's pretty nice. You know what I'm getting at here? You're really taking a look at yourself. So now I'm wearing some chain mail. I'm a human. What size are these guys? What's this armor situation? Is it looking just like decorative armor? It's more like decorative armor. It is, it's like the standing suit's a very decorative armor, like, could you attempt? I got my hopes up for nothing. Like, they're not mounting, like, really nice sets of plate mail on the wall, though. You could always ask. I did. Yes. So that, was that door locked, unlocked, that one that was right on the edge of the staircase? This right here? Uh, yeah, that one there, because he was, yeah, he was checking. I was gonna like, oh no, fall into it, you know. It is not locked. Going in? Yes. So you would find an undecorated bedroom containing a pair of beds stuffed with straw mattresses. At the foot of each is a footlocker and tiny servants uniforms hang from hooks in a closet that you can see. Servant room. Servant room. Closet. Are we gonna check out the closet? I mean you just kind of fell through the door. I figured we were gonna... We might as well. You said the footlocker's there. We're gonna open the footlocker's. So the footlocker's are both empty and upon opening this right here I'm assuming, right? You find the dumbwaiter. Oh. Dumbwaiter. That makes sense. So the servants never have to enter the main hall and be seen by the people. They can go directly from bed down into or up to the kitchen or whatever. If that makes sense. And I'm assuming that's just wall along the black box there, both sides. Yep. Yep. This is a pretty small room. Fair enough. I'll go to the next one. Nothing important. Which one? Left or right, guys? Right. Right? Okay, stick it on the same wall. Negative. Yes. Okay, we confirm it's not right here. Yep. There's just another shape around it. There's no reason to hide this because you would know the existence of this room now. Upon stepping into this room, let me move you guys over here. It's a library. It is. Red velvet drapes cover the windows of this room. An exquisite mahogany desk and a matching high-backed chair face the entrance of the fireplace, above which hangs a framed picture of a windmill perched atop a rocky crag. Suited in the corners of the room are two overstuffed chairs. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves line the south wall. A rolling wooden ladder allows one to reach more easily the higher shelves. Airedog gets really excited and kind of squeaks, books, and runs to the bookshelves to investigate. Okay. There's hundreds of books on this bookshelf. I'm walking directly forward into the room, straight towards the desk, because it's prominent right there in front of me, so it's the direction I'm going to go. I'm going to investigate everything on the desk, see what I can find. If there's drawers, I'm going to open them. We're all met. Okay. Okay. So you're going to the books, you're going to the desk, where are you going? Join me in a minute.

• I'm interested in some of these. If he's already on the desk, I might be interested in some books as well. Just looking through book titles.
• Okay. - Everyone give me perception checks to take looks at their respective areas.
• 20.
• Not 20?
• No, 15 plus five. - 19.
• 19, excellent. - 12. - 12, all right. With the 19 you got, you would see that the desk is pretty much empty, all except for an iron key.

Okay, so I'm grabbing the iron key, and I'm going to out loud say, hey guys, I found a key. Just so everybody knows. If it goes to that room, you already picked the lock. Okay, good question. We'll find out. Is that something that I would be able to tell looking at the key? Maybe a history check to see if you remember the log super well. Okay, I'll go ahead and do that. Recall. History check? Okay. - 17.

• Yes, it looks very similar to kind of a crude or it looks similar to the crude lock of that door that you ended up picking. So it matches aesthetically at least.
• Okay, so I'm gonna say that part of the logic. I was like, yeah, it kind of makes sense. That looks like that door for the door that I picked.
• With the 19, as you look all around the bookshelf, You'll notice that he or this person had tomes on history, warfare, alchemy.

Is this for me? This is a 20. Yes. Oh, sorry, 20, yes. You got a 12, right? Yes. So you would be able to see that he has tomes covering all of those. He even has multiple shelves containing first edition collected works of poetry and fiction. So this guy had an extremely vast collection of tomes. One in particular is going to stand out to you. It's red with a blank spine. It looks fake to you. I note that to come back to it. But am I able to take any of the alchemy and poetry books? You can definitely acquire a few. You can find one that's on general alchemy. You can find one's How many do you want? I'm wanting four total books, one poetry, three practical. Okay, okay, you can grab those. Is there specific ones I should add to my inventory or does it not matter? Do I just say it's books? One moment. No, just right now say this. Legacy gear, adventuring gear, add to... And then I pulled down that interesting fake looking book. So it would reveal a fake room. We're now able to open. Guys? This room, as you, I assume, walk into it, right? Take a little peeky-peek? Yeah, take a little peeky-peek. Okay. I was walking towards the books. And I called out to them. So I'm following you. There you go. There you go. This secret room would contain bookshelves packed with tomes describing fiend-summoning rituals and the necromantic rituals of a cult called the Priestess of... Osiris. - How do you spell that? - O-S-Y-B-U-S. You would also see a heavy wooden chest with clawed iron feet standing against the wall, lid half closed. Sticking out of the chest is a skeleton in leather armor. - What are you doing?

• I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I don't feel as compelled to bury this guy. I don't know who he is. Is it the father? - Is he wearing the leather armor?
• He is. Actually, in like a painting?

Or like the-- - You said it was physical leather armor, so the skeleton armor has that leather armor. I know this is just in the thing, but if we go and look at him, do we see a letter near him like that? Yeah, if you go to inspect you'll see in his hand he's clutching a letter. I've been practicing my words. I'll read the letter. He's got a letter in his hand, he does! That's why I like this map pack. If you go to pick up the letter, As you go closer to the skeleton, you'll see that there's three darts stuck in his ribcage. Kind of like he opened the chest, and then fell over. It's a pretty straight line to see what happened here. As you remove the letter and go to read it, it says, My most pathetic servant. I am not a messiah sent to you by the dark powers of this land. I have not come to lead you on a path to immortality. However many souls you have bled on your hidden altar, however many visitors you have tortured in your dungeon, know that you are not the ones who brought me to this beautiful land. You are but worms writhing in my dirt. You say that you are cursed, your fortunes spent, You abandoned love for madness, took solace in the bosom of another woman, and sired a stillborn son. Cursed by your darkness, of that I have no doubt. Save you from your wretchedness, I think not. I much prefer you as you are. Your dread lord and master, Strahd von Zarovich. Good old Strahd. Does that name stir anything for me? Oh, it does. Can I investigate that feeling? Sure. You can make a history with advantage. History with advantage. Also... Nine was the roll plus... Did you roll two dice? No. With advantage, you get to roll two and take the higher. Nice. So 11 plus one is 12. With a 12... It would be a name that you heard in, like, stories, like, scary stories people would tell of, like, folktales and, like, mythic vampires stuck in faraway lands, trapped in mists of sorts. You would be able to recall these kinds of stories as well. Of that you were sure at the moment, like, were just stories, right? It seems like Dracula. You would also find in that chest three blank books with leather, three spell scrolls, one of bless, one of protection from poison, and one of spiritual weapon. You would find the deed to the house, the deed to a windmill, and a signed will. Remember the windmill from the picture in the office study area? I can't say that again, but you guys would acquire all these things if you wish to take it. I think we'd take all of them. Look at me, Zoiberg. Homeowner. Yeah. I'd say at this point we're just kind of deciding that we're going to kind of gather up everything and figure out what to do from there. Yeah, just add it to the party inventory for now. So you said three, just three generic books? Yep, three blank books. Okay, so three of those. Probably find that or add the custom item and just say blank books. I just add books. Perfect. Differentiate these from the other books that you took. Yeah, the books that I took are in my inventory. These are in party inventory. Perfect, perfect. Don't ask why. I figured there would be a why, but we would find out. Blank books in a chest is not normal. Do you want me to say the spell scrolls again as well? Yes, please. Bless. Bless. Not sure what appeared. Custom item, I guess? Yep, it's probably... I think they kind of cook you and have it as a common item, and you just have the common spell scroll, and then you have to know that it's something. But you can just have the common item. Is Bless a cantrip? It's a level spell. So, Bless, protection from poison, and spiritual weapon. Are they first level, or do we know the level? I'm fairly certain these are all first level. Okay, blast protection from poison. Spiritual weapon is just... So that's like an attack. What were they? I got bonus. Hold on. I'm updating the spell scroll still. What were the other two? Protection from poison and bless. Or spiritual weapon. Yeah. Bless, protection from poison, spiritual weapon, and then deed for... Bless is good. House... Spiritual weapon can be good. That's what I'm looking at. Windmill... ...from poison is probably pretty straightforward. Yeah. Spiritual weapon? Yep. Unable to be poisoned, hopefully. Spiritual weapon? Yes. Spiritual weapon. That's a second level spell. It is. That made more sense. Because it's pretty fucking good. Okay, well it's in our inventories level one, but we'll know when we go to use it anyway. It doesn't really matter in terms of that, because it's I figure as long as we know that it's there and what its name is, we'll be good. And then deed to the what? Deed to the house. Deed to a window. And then the signed will. Why are you doing this? The house.

• We've been scooting seeing this guy's unfortunate end, but benefiting from it nonetheless.
• Do we know if that's the father? Are we able to deduce if it looks like it's? - You know, it-- - Is he wearing any of the clothes that we've seen in the pictures?
• We're only like an insight check.
• I'm gonna cut you off again next time you talk. - Okay, I'll say insight. I'll do an insight check. 24. It rolled a B.

It rolled a 1. Ha! I beat you! This is 6. So we got two single digits and a 24. So Gray is going to kind of look and y'all are like, is this the guy? Is this the husband? And you're thinking like, would the owner of the house die to his own booby traps? Is it the butler? That's a really good deduction. I have no idea. The reader looks at the books because they're about bringing things to life that were dead, and that is interesting. Yeah, so, um, maybe an arcana check. Okay. Take a look at some of the more... Eleven. Huh? Eleven. I'm thinking along the same things because I haven't been looking at any of the books yet and I'm gonna have to think about the books too so next one, go ahead. With an 11 you're not able to really determine anything. You do open up and see that several of them seem to be about demon summoning and trying to bring people back to life with the dark powers of the arcane but seem to be very interesting and very complex. You're going to also try to take a look at them? Yeah, you mentioned when you were talking about everything, I thought it was like I wanted to check and see if there's something I can remember from what I know of my time in temple that would... Makes sense about this. I don't know if that would be a history check. You mentioned Arcana. I hadn't looked at that one. And that makes sense because it's recallable about spells and things like that. If you want to also, with your buddy, kind of take a look at these books, make me an Arcana check as well. I'll go ahead and do that. We can both try to assess what's happening here. A 15 for me. Excuse me. With a 15... You're actually able to determine that these are all bogus. Okay, interesting. So I'm going to say that out loud just so everybody knows. You'll be like, all of these books are fakes. Not one of these is any kind of actual spell book or any kind of real magic. Iridel then puts the books back. All of these have been lost. Of course, yeah, and I'm saying that like blank face as you're taking them down. I was like, yeah, none of these are real, you know. So yeah, you're going to be like... I'm going to be like, I knew that. That's why I wasn't looking at them. As I say that, since now that I've known that none of those are real, I'm immediately backing out. I'm looking at some of the other books because I haven't looked at those yet. I immediately went from the desk in here because they weren't looking at stuff. So I want to check some of these other books and see if there's anything that might be useful for me. Um... It's like a road. I don't really know exactly what to look for specifically. You can grab one or two books on combat and warfare. That would be good. Would there be anything that might help with... Because I've been talking about wanting to do more illusion and stealthy stuff. Is there anything that might... Not really books on magic and stuff like that. It's more like practical history and the art of war and shit like that. Fair enough. Okay, yeah. I'll go ahead and grab a couple of things like that. Is there a copy of the art of the girl running around? Absolutely. It's in the fireplace. Not anymore. It's in your fire. I'm just adding, like, custom books. It's already gone. If you want to go ahead and see that, like, two books on warfare and combat. Do we want to define my books while we're here, or do we want to wait on that? Let's wait on that. Let's wait on that. I hung out with Wade. Whatever you say, God. laughter It's waiting for the best possible moment to spring out during the year. You've been carrying three mimics. Should I put that in my backpack? More than that, I got four books, he's got two books, we got three books. So I got two books, so I need to make a note on what they are? So I just know that my books are about combat and warfare and that's why we're making them. cough Zoom upon getting your books and figuring out what's going on here. Y'all are venturing to the other side of the room. Oh, yes. All right. Y'all with me? - This is my room. - A conservatory. Gossamer drapes cover the windows of this elegantly appointed hall, which has a brass-plated chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Upholstered chairs line the walls, and stained glass wall hangings depict beautiful men, women, and children singing and playing instruments. You'd see a harpsichord? - Yep. - With a bench, a harpsichord with a bass, The bench rests in the northwest corner. Near the fireplace is a large standing harp. Alabaster figurines of well-dressed dancers adorn the mantelpiece. I was going to ask if those were actually on the mantelpiece or not. Those were. Are these right here? It's funny, yeah. Yes. I'm going to immediately push past everyone to go sit down and inspect the harp.

• Uh, give me a perception.
• Perception?
• Or investigation.

You're trying to glean something specific, like what are you trying to-- - I'm gonna end up, well I want to play the harp, that's the only-- - Yeah, perception, investigation.

• Perfectly playable.
• Perfectly playable.
• This room is actually pristinely kept.

I don't care what anyone else is doing in this room, but while everybody's in this room, I'm just going to sit here and try to play this part. This performance. You are very, very well versed at the harp, apparently. Apparently? It's a lot like the lute. Yeah, I was going to say that worked out very well. Like a large lute, right? That's exactly what it is. Nice. I kind of glide over to the harpsichord and sit down to play. Is that what this is? Yeah. It's like a... That's a string piano. Oh! Remember the old school, when you think really old school Mozart stuff where it kind of sounds... I might be walking forward to investigate those things on the mantle a little bit more closely to see if there's anything particularly interesting about them. As you actually walk up to closer inspect, they are well-dressed skeletons. Oh. Yeah, so back to the theme of everything being death here. I'm gonna remark on that while you guys are both playing. I'm gonna be like, "Hey, these guys, all these things on the mantle are all skulls." You can see lots of skull stuff around here today, including real skulls. Including real skulls. But y'all's music is beautiful as you take a moment to play in this room. That's all that matters. Yeah, we're just kinda chillin'. We got just, we're very distracted in this room now. We got very comfortable in this house. Well, - We have the deed. - That's true, we do kind of own this house.

• You can't kick me out of my house. I'm playing My Heart right now. most shit i've ever gained by level two ever the old woman of the house you know burning the kids remains like this is ours we left the butler that's you know the letter is for whoever yeah i know i think about this too the letter was for maybe the

If that's not the dad, maybe the dad was the master and that guy is the apprentice that the letter was for. And he got his comeuppance or whatever. Or it's a letter to the dad talking about how he's wasted all of his family's money and everything. Trying to follow this cult where it's like, bro, fuck you, you dirt. Well, I mean, and you know, that's the thing. If he was following some kind of cult, it may not have been his own booby trap. It may have been set by somebody from the cult, set in his own what he thought would be his private room. True, true. That's me. It serves us none to speculate. No, I love the consideration. I'm a little high. A little high. All the pain. All right. So this one takes us about six minutes. This doesn't quite qualify as a short rest, right? No, that'd be fair. So we're just going to go ahead and continue on to the next floor. Yeah, the next floor. The third floor, y'all have gone, I think, pretty much everywhere except the one floor? Yeah. Or one or two rooms? Well, we got the jewelry that you wanted to... Yeah, and while we're on this floor, I'm going to remember... It's ours now. Yeah. While we're on this floor, I'm going to go back to the dollhouse and think about the other secret rooms and things that we haven't been to yet. And will I remember any of like secret entrances or anything in this place that I haven't noticed before? No, I won't say that they're exactly secret. So, because you looked at the house, you would notice that this is the dumb waiter, of course. Yeah, that's right. This, you would have noticed, of course, is the... Oh, yeah, that's the spiral, yeah. Yeah, this is what you discovered, the spiral staircase hidden down from the attic. You would have noticed that this right here is the bathroom. This right here is a balcony. Okay. So nothing super special.

• And that's the desk with the jewelry, right? - Yeah, that's the one with the jewelry in it, yeah.
• You wanna revisit some jewelry? - Yeah, I'm thinking about that. I've been thinking about that the whole time since now this place is ours. I'm also gonna say this out loud because nobody else saw this stuff and were like, "Hey, there was some really nice jewelry "in this room over here." So I'm gonna say that out loud and I don't know if Jables is gonna take the opportunity to run in there before me, but I'm gonna start walking that direction.

Okay, so I guess whoever wants to add, you guys are going to go straight to the jewelry and you're going to loot it? Yeah. You would have... The jewelry box, so it itself is a silver jewelry box. It will contain three gold rings, a thin platinum necklace with a toe pass pendant. So we can just take the jewelry box, right? And then it has that in it. Precisely so. So three gold rings, a platinum pendant with what? A thin platinum necklace with a topaz pendant. And the jewelry box itself is silver. gold rings platinum necklace is that right yep did we feel any sort of way about the jewelry box when we hold it in our hands just feels like a silver jewelry box since anything weird about the jewelry inside of it pick up each item individually am i able to pick up one of the rings i just they feel Well, now that we've noticed, like, that we've gone through the whole house, we've seen a lot more of it, are we able to tell who's going to be in the house? This is definitely the master bedroom, so this would have been, like, the Mr. and Mrs. in the house. Okay, so that's pretty obvious, so I'll, like, say that as I'm grabbing this, and I'm like, well, I guess we kind of... Found the mother and her baby, and maybe we're putting them to rest. Maybe we can take this as payment. I'm saying that out loud as I pick it up because I'm, like I said, I'm still new to the rogue and stealing business, and I'm a little, an adventuring business. I'm a little bit apprehensive about doing that. Keep saying this S word. I came from, you know, I came from the temple. It's stealing to me still. So that letter. I'm just thinking about that, but yeah, I'm still grabbing it. Some of the wording, you know, you abandoned love for madness and took solace in the bosom of another woman and sired a stillborn son. So that lady that you saw upstairs, the one that was stabbed to death. Oh, yeah, maybe that was, yeah. It's not the missus of the house that had that room that you guys were in. Okay. That was a woman's room. Just things contextually you could have put together with everything you were given so far. Yeah, that makes sense. So that would maybe have been, I'm thinking that may have been like a servant that he may have. A mistress, perhaps? Yeah, something like that. That makes sense. Something like that. And you also would have noted that the mother would have been regarding that baby with contempt in the painting as well. The actual missus of the house. So it's all real good stuff happening here. Yeah. So I'm not feeling terrible about taking it necessarily, but yeah, but I'm definitely, yeah, like I said, just for story reasons, that's just what's going on in my head is I'm thinking like, I'm new to all this. I'm not, I'm still unsure about doing this, but I'm taking it because I know we need one. So I assume y'all are heading straight up to the attic after that, yes? Yeah, we're just going to continue right up. I don't see any reason to stay any further. I was just going to stop by and grab that. I'm The secret tunnel. Secret tunnel. I don't need a metagame, but I saw the word upper. This is all I'm teaching you to know about. I've drawn maps before. Yeah, I'm not making you do that this time. I didn't even have to last time. You didn't have to, but you did. I have not been paying attention to the time at all. Does and doesn't have dark vision. I do. Dark vision? Dark vision. We both do for sure. Do you? Dark vision. Dark vision. No dark vision? Listen man, who needs dark vision, you know? I do. I'm a human, you know, we kind of have dark vision. We see dark shit all the time. You ever heard of 9-11? It's not even that dark in Red Redemption's Island. Oddly enough, kind of connected. Allegedly. Like, it's real sympathetic to show him. You know me. Hold on, hold on. They're going to come for me. They're going to come for me. Just connect the Wi-Fi right now. How's it going to handle this in the summer? Need to have a light of some sort as you descend this long staircase because it is very, very dark. I produce a light for devils. Very nice. A very, very nice appeal with the range of that light. Uh, 20 feet. How far do I need to be able to see? Well, you guys can see black and white like you normally would, but Jables will be limited to the range of that light in particular. Okay, and how far, like, how far can I see in black and white? Like, what's the, because we're just right inside the cave, right? So I can see to the wall, walls, how far? Like, 15 feet? It would be that, so it would be... What's it called, produce light? There's light and produce flame. Oh, okay. Light does 20 feet. Produce flame does 20 feet plus 20 dim feet. Each of these segments, like that right there, is 5 feet. And then this other one right here, 5 feet. So it's like 5, 10. Okay, so yeah, I just do produce light. Very close. Or just, I just do light. Yeah, it has heads up. Like 20, 20 or 30, 30? 20. If needed, I do have other ways of having more permanent light. It's light in an effective way, cantrip-wise, to get that done. Yeah. As you guys get in here, go to the right spot. So the moment you arrive in this dungeon, you are going to begin to hear an eerie, incessant chant echoing throughout. It's really hard to gauge where the sound is coming from exactly, but it is very, very unnerving. And I assume you guys are walking forward in the first or second round. So as you guys walk forward-- Multiple different ways you can go. So there's this way over here, this way over here, this way over here. In fact, you're standing right here and it's 20. So you would also slightly illuminate this chamber right here. Do we see on the walls any unlit torches or anything? Sconces? Yeah. Name it. Boo. I mean, light should be fine. I can cast it again and do another 20 feet. Any preferences on which way to go? I'm usually the guy to want to just go to the closest thing always. But that's just me. We can see in there, right? If you were to walk this way, this is a more accurate representation of where you're actually standing. So if you were to go right here, your light would then shine into this room right here. And it would look like some empty crypts. The blank stone slab made to seal this crypt leans against a nearby wall. The crypt is empty. Oh. Who would have kept Jesus in there? So that's this one. This one right here would also be empty, but it is named, or etched into the name, is Walter Durst. I think he's related to Fred, I don't know. That we could tell we could look down here and one peak roll everyone. Roll me history check. History check. Also, what's the highest one? Eight. I got eight. What'd you get? Nine. We all paid attention in school. Wow, wow, wow. History is a strong suit. We roll well for it. I got negative one on it. You would vaguely remember that the kids referred to the baby as Walter. Oh, I do have that written down. Baby brother Walter. So it seems like these are like family crips. I assume you guys are-- I'm not there. Yeah, I do go ahead and step into that next space to peer down that hallway. Excellent. So, Diane. There's that leaf. What seems to be a little bit larger of a room. Don't tease me, man. Like a full story of? Not quite. Looks like a different level? Okay. Not quite. No reason to not continue forward. Okay. But that's just me. I've been falling behind everybody, so. Are you good with continuing forward? Do we want to check the other direction? This way or this way? Oh, yeah. This way? You could easily double back. You want to see what's in that room? I'm okay with whatever. This way? Let's say... Yeah, I want to at least see what's down this hall, the hallway down this way. Oh yeah, continue to see if we can see a little further down the line. Yeah, for sure. Do you have glasses for water? Before we start investigating other rooms? Yes, we're in the cabinet right next to the fridge. Yeah. Man, my allergies make my ears itch. It's like deep in my ear and my sinuses. I feel that. It's freaking annoying. I feel that. So peering closer into these two... Little options. They are each trips with actual coppers in them. Do you have any names? I sure do. These two right here, Gustav, Elizabeth. These two right here, Rose, Balda, and Thorne Gold. OK. So-- So that's the rest of the bag. Yeah. And you can see that Rose and Thorne's are open and empty. I almost took one of those desserts out of the tin. I'm going to find myself in that safe. Hold on. I might need to take one. I've read about it. I just ate one, it was very chewy. They look delicious. They are delicious is the problem. That's the dangerous part. You can't even really taste the wheat. Did you hear what I said as far as that goes? There was the rest of the family. Those were the kids' names, weren't they? Yes. So my thought is now I'm going to say, well, we burned them, but they had graves already. How could we have known? Yeah. How could we have known? Yeah. I may not say it quite that boldly. I'll say it like, looks like they had graves already. I got on that, but I respect the intentions there, you know? If only you had just waited. We didn't want to just carry them around the whole time. Although if we had just continued carrying them from that point and went right down, we would have immediately found where to lay them to rest. I'm not going to say anything. You guys have to do what you want to do. If I could go back, I'd burn them again. I don't feel like we made the wrong choice. It's not like you disrespectfully burned them. You just didn't exactly know they had a crypt that you were about to stumble upon. They could have told us. Maybe we asked the kids where they wanted to go. We had no idea what the crypt was. Evidently. What you I mean if they were dead locked in their rooms and they maybe never actually got to use the trips they're gonna be built before They're just scared of the basement because they're supposed to be a monster down there. You just needed me. Oh I did? Who's on the floor next to you I think. Other side. I think the gun grabbed onto the-- That poor Minnie. Whose Minnie was that? Nick. Well-- OK, good. Thank you, Austin. Thank you. Is that it? Yes. It's attack, yes. OK, good. That Minnie is Nick Cage. He was definitely always coming back then. Yeah. And his gun is the noisy cricket. Looking closer into this room, you are going to see - This is a dilapidated dining hall. This contains a plain wooden table flanked by long benches, mostly humanoid bones lay strewn on the dirt floor, the remains of the cult's vile penguins.

• So we know they were eating people.
• The fact that there's like actual human bones now strewn amongst like a dining table, yes.

If we look deeper, is there anything else to see? There is. See in the middle of this wall right here is a darkened alcove. I'm going to have that all blocked off as one thing. Yes, you are going to see kind of like a tiny little dark alcove that is particularly steep in bones. Other than that, and the exit through here, and the exit through here, nothing much more in this room. Yeah, I don't even know what to say out loud for my character at this point. I feel like there's something that he would say that would be terribly out of taste, but... That in itself at this moment is kind of funny to say it's out of taste. I'm sure it is. I thought of that, like, as you started talking all the way ago, that was terrible to actually say out of taste. Four days. Ariel kind of looks around and says, how vile. That's good stuff. In this situation, yes. Are you guys going up? Are you going to the side? Yeah, you have thought tables? I can't see shit. I'm thinking. That's true. I mean, I do have dark vision for 60 feet. I'm gonna level up and change one of my cantrips to light. See? I have dark vision for 60 feet. Oh yeah. So... I don't know. I was just thinking outline. I don't know how far I can go. You guys would be able to kind of see, but because it is so dark, I'm having to kind of be like, we're going to deal with the light. What's your dark vision? 60 feet? A typical dark vision. Okay. Yeah, I wasn't sure if there was a difference between ours. Okay. If you guys are cool with that, I'd say we continue with the left and this one. I feel like it doesn't really matter which way we pick because we're the type of people that are going to check every room anyway. Yeah, that's true. What a statement that is. So, not untrue. As you guys make your way, I'm just going to kind of move one person easier to navigate. So as you guys move through this kind of network right here, you would find yourself at another crossroads. Multiple crossroads. So long stretches of this dungeon are still upon you as you stand right there. What do you think guys should we follow May's rules? Left wall? Well I mean I think we can see our pathways so we don't have to be as... That was just me like in terms of making the decision without having to think too hard and just follow the left path first. So in this moment I actually will have you guys place yourselves precisely where you would be on this grid. No particular reason. I'm gonna move you guys down here with one character to make it easier. Actually, place yourselves. I assume you're probably behind us if you can't see shit. Probably behind me specifically because I'm holding the light, right? Yeah, I probably just got my hand on your shoulder or something. Same five foot block. Okay. Because I can give you guidance pretty much at will if something pops up. This is just a cantrip that lets you add a D4 to a roll. Yeah, I guess I'm holding up the rear. Okay. Like usual, as the tiny guy I am. Okay. Because then you'll be able to see behind us too, at least. So. So you can see in front of me and behind me. Which way are you going? Dark vision. Mm-hmm. Left or right? Are you going this way? I guess I'm leading, huh? Yeah. Yeah. So you can make your decision. I think this way. So as you take that step. Well, I... That's good, that's good. Of course. I had to make sure. The moment you take that step, you are gonna see four ghouls. Rise up from the ground and they're gonna attack you guys. What can I find out about these ghouls just from seeing them like right off the rip? I guess y'all can make me a brief perception check. And can I give him like a reaction guidance as they pop up? You know what I mean? Is guidance a reaction? No, but I've been having my hand on his shoulder this whole time waiting to get a guidance. We are connected for that purpose. He did call it out. Sure. Give the man a D4. I can't fucking see. Maybe one. Maybe one d4. My perception was a 14. 16 on mine. Add a d4 to 20. Oh, roll a d4. What'd I get? Two. So 18? I got a 15. Anyone get over a 19? Nope. I'm up. We got a man at 18. Mine was a 14. You guys know that ghouls are bad. Ghouls are bad fucking news. That's about right. Okay. I guess we're in combat. Oh, you guys are in combat. We're definitely in combat. Light? You touch? Okay. What'd you cast light on? Oh, this is what I'm doing. I am right. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Color it as you like. Yeah, if we can make a ramp. It's already gone through my head. Useful in a performance situation. I wish we all fight for your life in a dark dungeon against ghouls. I can see now their foot. Did I gain a spell slot? Please tell me I did a vote. Are my party members creatures? Or is that like a different class of thing? What's the specifics? Bless. Yes. You can definitely bless your friends. Is that what you're asking? Yeah, because it says you bless up to three creatures within range, so that's why I wanted to know. In that regard, yes. Sorry, yes, yes. It's just because you can cast it on things that aren't your party members as well. Some things will specifically say allies. Yeah, and I've seen like animals. That's why I wasn't sure if creatures was just anything living. And that's what's weird is sometimes yes. Right. For English language. Right. Yes. All right, what's everyone's initiative? Just put it through the cup. I rolled a 20 and then I have a plus one modifier. I had to make up for your cup roll. Six. Excellent. Strong on these fucking... Yeah, at least I designated that I am wearing my shield. So a lot of our roles are working out in ways that work for the RV. Like you have a really bad initiative and that's being in the dark, you're not being able to see. It's funny when it works out that way. - So let me get two spell slots. - Okay.

• That's very well. - He's gonna start with gray at the top of the round, not surprisingly. So, if these ghouls pop out of nowhere. - That's cool, that's too smart. - It's like they were waiting for you guys.
• Yeah. So since we both rolled 20s, did we get any advantage or anything in the first attack?
• Unfortunately not.
• Okay.
• Just the fact that we're going first.
• Yeah.
• Let me think about my, Honestly, my first instinct is to just have my character be surprised and immediately just like shoot at it without really thinking Whichever one's closest Like maybe am I gonna notice the one behind me my face in that direction? Is there something we need to check to do that or can I just decide that I want to?

Yeah, you would see this one this would be the only one readily apparent to you and you would have heard it kind of

• Okay, so yeah. I'm just gonna say that I'm surprised and my first instinct, very first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna shoot it with the new hand crossbow I have. - Okay. - Because I definitely have that in my hands right now because that's the first thing I did with it. - Lock it down the hall. - New weapon, yeah, like new hand crossbow, exactly.
• Good, I mean, good job.
• Cool, so just run the-- - Weapon attack? - Yeah, so.
• Weapon attack?
• Where are these goblins?
• Boom, boom, boom, boom. They're the four that aren't y'all.

So they're surrounding us? Yeah, the four balloons. Oh, Lord. Yeah. Okay. And I just attacked the one behind me. You got an 11? Yeah, not great. This one? Yeah. So I missed, which, fair, I'm surprised, and it's a new weapon that I've produced. You gotta go for it, right? Yep. What are you doing other than that? Why are they so far apart? You know, they'd be ghouling. I say, can I... Yeah. Why are they so far apart? Yeah. It was a rhetorical question. Oh. Plus, no. I respect it, you know? I do. I kind of want to do the, uh... Can I study? I want to do a study and see if I can remember things about ghouls again, because I know our first instinct is more just, no, these are bad news. What kind of experiences do you have that would let you know what ghouls and undead are? Question. If not, you can make me the check, but you wouldn't have any advantages. I'm on the check. So when it says a 15-foot cube, for me, that's five feet each direction cube, right? What are goals? Three, one, two, three, one, two, three. Right, but with me in the middle. So if I'm here, it would be this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, up, down. I think so, yeah. I'm going to go with my religious background. I'm just looking at what I got. That should give you some kind of knowledge of undead things or stuff like that. Something that I can draw on to maybe know the best way to go about attacking this world. I was reading it. Like I said. I'm just checking them out. Advantage. You know, do that.

• Trying to figure out That's awesome. So just this one?

Yep, and roll it twice. Take the highest one. 17. Four, so 17. So 17. With the 17, you would remember ghouls do some pretty straightforward stuff. They're going to try to bludgeon you guys to death. You remember that being something commonly done. Okay, so I'm gonna me being a small person I'm gonna try to stay far back again, so it's a good idea to use the crossbow That's the kind of thing that I'm looking for. Is that your turn? Yeah, I'm gonna say that's my turn. I don't know what else to do first off. Your turn. The crossbow attack first? Um... Boo! So far not very effective in combat. So I'm gonna cast Entangle on this 20 block right here. that's grasping plants spread from the ground at a 20 foot square within range which is 90 feet uh these for the duration these plants turn the ground into an area into difficult terrain they disappear when the spell ends each creature other than you in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a strength saving throw or have the restrained condition until the spell ends and a restraining creature can take An action to make a strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself. What's your strength? Or what's your DC in this one? DC. It'll be under your spellcasting spell. It is 13. Oh, 13? They both pass. So they're, what, free? Both free? Yes. Neither of them are restrained. It will be difficult terrain. It is still difficult terrain. For everyone but me. No. It's harder for them to move through it, right? It costs double movement. Yeah, but they have to physically attack it, so that still has a benefit. I gotta use that spell. And then I still get either a bonus action or a free action, right? Yes. Precisely so. For my bonus action, I produce flame. Okay. When can I do the hurling? of the fire from that. I think you have to use your action to do that. You can take magic action. Okay, so it would be the next turn. Yes. That's what I figured, but I just wanted to make sure. Cool, and that would be my turn. Takes it to Jables. The ghouls rode that low? The ghouls rode that low. Wrecked. They'll take their turn in due time. If I sniff the air, which ghoul smells the most like a bitch to me? Do you want to make a perception check or is that a rhetorical question? Yeah, it's a 20. They're all equally bitchy. Are you sure? Alright. Oh, man. Probably one of these two, right? Yeah, these are the ones I'm thinking of. Because you don't want to go to them. I'll help you out over here. I'm going to step by my man. I'm going to say what's up, good looking. Huh? Is it coming around? Did I... I probably didn't get my luck point back when we leveled, did we? You can drive. You can drive. No, I've still got one. I'm just not using it. I'm just not using it. That's probably not fair. That's going to be 15 to hit. I hit? Oh, fuck. one lots of We'll take seven slashing. All right. Seven slashing to that one-year standing right in front. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I have a feeling that was me. I'm gonna, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna, free action, I'm gonna spit in his face. Oh yeah, he loves that. I'm gonna sit there with my shield, my sword. Okay. That takes it to all four ghouls. I only got one spell slot left. The ghouls are gonna start ghouling. Let me smite him. I have two. I forgot I leveled up. I'm smiting him. I'm smiting him. You won. I'm sorry. I forgot that I... You know, you didn't give me my luck back, and then I forgot that I got my spell slot back. Don't blame me for this. It's my fault because of those reasons. It's my fault. 100% it's my fault. It's only 13 radiant, okay? It's only 13 radiant. Because I assume he's undead. He is undead. So that is the extra deal. The ghoul is undead, yeah. See, now I don't have to erase my spell slot thing. It's still marked off. It was my fault. It was my fault. The ghoul is dusty from that. I didn't think it would kill him. I know, bloody's not quite the right terminology for that either. So, these ghouls are going to start ghouling towards all of you guys individually. I feel like I will get ghouled. For that. There's... What ramifications? Never. Never. So they're each going to take two attacks. We're gonna go ahead and start with the ones that are gonna go against gray because there's gonna be Unfortunately, there's four. So two of them are gonna come against you. One of them against you and one of them against you. Sorry, I'll tell you. He sent two after the squishy? That's funny. Brutal. Tactical strategy, damn it. They're ghouls. How strategic are they going to be? I'm right in front of them. Damn. That's what I get for missing, too. - You're abbreviating something like that. Armor class?

• Yeah, sorry, sorry. - 13. - Yeah. - Yeah, sorry. The first one's gonna hit. The second one's gonna hit. So one of them's gonna hit both of them against you. I'm gonna go ahead and roll that damage. The first one's going to do five piercing damage and five necrotic damage.

So, 10 total ones? Yep. So the next one is going to take a bite and a claw attack against you. Actually, no. It can only take a single claw attack. Okay, that's what I was reading. So the other one's going to take a single claw. You said 13 was your AC? Yeah. Lucky for you, this one's going to miss. Cool. Cool. Are you bloody? I would be half healthy left. Well, I don't know how any of that works. So yes, since you took 10 damage, you only had 13 max HP, you are considered bloody. Yeah. You only have to take 7 damage to be considered bloody. So how does the AC work? Is it basically just the determination of whether I get hit or not? Precisely so. Precisely so. And then whether you get hit or not, you just take the damage regardless of the AC. Yes. I just wanted to make sure. And if they hit exactly at your AC, you would take half damage. Okay, got it. Got it, okay. Makes sense. Makes sense. So yeah, I'm a lot hurt. We got some beat-up beat-ups over here. Although those were two barrage of attacks. The zombie is going to take the single claw attack against you, Iridil. Okay, I have AC 14. Ooh. He misses you lucky dog and the last one's gonna take its multi attack two bites against you I can fit more. Yeah With your seat 18 oh the first one's gonna be a glancing glow That was actually unfortunately a nat 20. I got a feeling when you say old one. I can't use luck to make you re-roll one, can I? I don't think so. I think it could. I said that, you know. Oh, it's written down over here, but I'm going to bet it says no. Oh, I could give you disadvantage, but I mean, giving you disadvantage, I'd have to say that before the roll, I feel. You would. Because it doesn't say as a reaction, you know. I just have to use the luck point before I attack. I'm not gonna do that. So we'll see. Hopefully I roll low. We'll see. Let's see. Four piercing damage and three necro. - Roll really low. Is that gonna be enough though? What's your max HP?

• 20 total.
• Ah, oh. You've taken five? So you'll take eight, six.
• That's 14.
• 14. Plus an additional two, 'cause I rolled really low.
• So what, 16? - Yes. - Total? - Yes. - Okay.
• From both Barrage and attacks. - Okay.
• So you're at four?
• I'm at four.

And you're a three. And that's all the goals of text. That takes it to you, Greg. Well, I'm about to cut down the one that told me. I'm trying to think what would be best. I guess all of my stuff would technically do the same amount of damage, right? Um, you'd be able to roll. Do you have Sneak Attack yet? I do have Sneak Attack, yeah.

• Cunning action so you can bonus action disengage?
• Mm-hmm.
• That might be a play like bonus action disengage, try to go to a spot where you can get advantage on one of the ones your friends has already attacked. I won't normally give you advice, but.
• Yeah, no, I definitely need it. I don't, I haven't been in any.
• There's a few different things in there. You getting that cunning action is super important to your action economy.

I feel that too. - With the dash disengage or high. - As a bonus action.

• Yeah, it's huge. It's like I used to be able to do that as a monk, but I had to spend resources to do it. And it was always worth it.

It's usually worth it. Yeah, I mean... Disengage is large. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and do that. That's what I want to do. Get out of the way because I'm getting hurt bad. I want to get as far away as I can. In which direction? You can't move directly through your enemies, but you can pass through your allies. I can? Yeah. Okay, so which one's... That's your friend. That's your friend. Okay, so if I wanted to, I could get over in this direction? Yeah. Okay, yeah, that's the direction I'm running. I'm running through that way. You've got the gravity thing. How far can I go? Does that matter? You have 30 feet of movement. Yeah, 30 feet. Each little section you move yourself is five. Five? Okay, now it's here. I'm just going to move all the way over here out of the way since I've got some ranged stuff. I want to be out of the way as much as I can, like right at the edge of that. Okay, cool. So there's a wall there. So I'm like, yeah, that little turn. And can I do anything else after that? You can, because that was your bonus action. You can still take an attack. Okay, yeah. So I'm going to go ahead and take an attack, and I want to use my short bow. Okay. I'm just going to, I guess, just vote for that. Yes. If you attack this one right here, that has made its attacks against Iridum, you'll be able to make it with advantage and give yourself your sneak attack points. Yeah, I went ahead and did it for whichever was the closest because I'm trying to get out of the way. Let me see what that was. It's already off screen. It was a 20 total, 16 plus 4. That'll do it. Did you roll two? Roll one more just to make sure you don't get a 9 point. 20 total and then you said plus what? Oh, yeah. Oh, your sneak attack bonuses will actually be your hit. You should, when you roll your damage dice now, you should be able to add like a d6 or 2d6. Yeah, so I add an extra 1d6. As you level up later, it'll be more d6. So now that I've done that, That's the next one. I'm still way too fucking high. You're good, so you hit. Now you'll be able to roll your damage dice. Okay, so now I hit the one next to it. And then I can do two of them now because I hit. So you'll do that, and then you'll be able to add an extra d6, which you can roll on this side. For your sneaky deck. Four, so two of these. Yeah, but the d6 one, yes. Four and one. Okay. Okay, okay, so five damage. Yeah. - This way. I have the menus for that one. Bam.

• Got high enough now that it's like...
• I get you, I get you, I get you. That's fine, that's why you play games with your friends so we can get high, too high together.
• 100%. - Speaking of which, Penn.
• Yeah. You're gonna need my pen back, you wanna try another one?
• I mean, it was over here, you know. - Ooh, this one's delicious.
• Yeah, the orange one, yeah. - I like this one. It is your turn, Uribelle.

Take your time if you're got the brain. Do you have a grinder? I do, it's on my bed right now. The big black one. The big black one. Oh hey, uh... I also, since I was using the shortbow, I have Vex. Is that like a thing that just happens automatically? If you hit a creature with a short bow and deal damage to it, you have advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn. Yes, keep in mind those different kinds of weapon properties and abilities. So I've got to remember that, that I have the dex on that same ghoul for next time. What was the effect for that one? Since I've hit it, I have advantage on my next attack roll against it before the end of my next turn. So I'd like to move to here. You would provoke one attack of opportunity. I would. I don't want to move. I just want to use Bless on all three of us. You would be able to do so easily. That makes it so whenever any of us makes an attack roll or saving throw before the spell ends, which is one minute, so ten rounds, right? Yes. You add a d4 to attack roll or saving throw. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. We've been doing those quite a bit. Don't we also gain temporary health? No. Unfortunately not for Bless. Sure. I have the text right here if you want to read it. Do you? Oh, I'm thinking of heroism. Yeah, I was going to say it's either heroic or heroism. I'm thinking of heroism. Because that's felons. I was thinking, well, I have heroism. That's why I was thinking of heroism. That's why I was thinking of it. Is that your action or bonus action? That is my action. It's a spell. It's one of my spell slots. Oh no, it's just use. Yeah, it didn't take up a slot. Nice. And that is not the spell scroll that we had just for clarity. That is from my skills. Oh, okay. So you knew this already. I did. That's why I figured I should clarify. Okay, that would be something Give me an option for that kind of defensive It probably feels a little weird though just because of the you know, I'm not really like a nice Neutral good Feels a little awkward. Well, you're the only person in your group that didn't burn the remains of children, so... It did start the fire. Yeah. You struck the fucking match. It was our idea. It was our idea! I just didn't want to carry them around anymore. You were like, fine, can we just get out? That'll be... Because that's a full action, right? So I can't attack or anything. Uh, It specifies it's a bonus action, which I know many people will. And I can already see everything that we can see, so there's no point in casting the produce flame again, so that'll be what I do. Jambal. Luck point, attacking that man. This is a little bit near, but probably... Maybe use the roll. Probably just enough for me to kill real quick. It's going to be another 15. Yep, that is. I forget my charging key. That'll be three. That's enough. That's enough? That is enough. I forget my charging key. For my bonus action, I'm going to lay my hands on myself. You're going to touch yourself? In front of your friends. In front of my friends. How much of mine? You said that for private time. What the fck mine do I want to use? I've got ten total. I used five of it for now. Okay. I won't be- You need a little 5 HP? Oh god, I will be bloody if I still use five. I should probably just use all of it. No! I'm just gonna use all ten of it. Selfishly heal myself. All ten of what? I'm gonna save... one. Nine of it. Nine of what? My Lay on Hands healing points that I get to refresh every long rest. Okay. Reasonable. Now I've got one left. It's nice to be able to stabilize someone. So that's action. That's bonus action. To provoke opportunity attacks, I have to like move through. If I stop next to him, it doesn't provoke it, right? Yeah. Because I'll just put myself... I'll run up and I'll just tell them, yeah, I'm going to yell, I can fit more of you. You know? I ain't hearing no bell. Well, they're going to do exactly what you think they're going to do. They're going to take their taxes. In fact, the one in the back can't even really get up in the party right now, so he's got to go around. We gotta try to kill Travis real quick. She might succeed. You should hit the ball first. First? Yeah. Ice the dice a little bit. I swear to God, she wasn't at 20. I gotta charge him, right? She's driving you home. The threats start coming out. Listen, I'm taking that gamble, you know? I believe. I believe. The first zombie is just going to take a single claw attack. What's your AC? 18. It does not hit. The first one. Second one's going to also take the single claw attack. So it'll be found. The third one. Barking* You're a dill. Oh, that's low again, you lucky son of a bitch. Nine? Yeah, 14. Nine. Okay, good, good, good. So that makes sense. Sorry. So there's going to be one... Oh, I forgot. Oh, that's right. Yeah, there should have been D4s out of your deck as well. There's going to be a half damage hit on you, and I'm pretty sure every other attack missed. Yeah. And one of them is dead. Yeah, just the half hit. Okay, let's see. Oh, it did half hit you on a slash, though, so... It's actually a... deal six slashing damage to you. So free? Yes. Are you an elf? No. I'm a human. Constitution saving throw. DC 10 or better. Which I get to add ID 4 to. Because I'm blessed. You are paralyzed until the end of your next turn. You made me worried. Can't move which feet. Maybe attacks have advantage. Until whose next turn? It's next turn? Until the end of its next turn. So I think that's your next turn. So you are paralyzed. I lose one turn. And that is going to be its turn. Let's check the next degree at the top of the round. What is a concentration? Does that mean that I have to continually cast it during that minute? No, so if you cast a spell and take damage while casting that spell, you'll have to roll a dice check to make sure that you can hold on to that spell. Okay. Do I get the d4 with that as well? Yes. It's a constitution saving throw. Okay. So right now I have advantage against that one that I attacked before because of that's... I want to go ahead and just attack it again the same way I did before. Okay. So what all do I get to add to that? Do I just roll the usual? You just roll two with advantage. Okay, so it's just two of the same dice. Is this good now? You take whatever's the highest and that's how it works? Yes. I feel like your usual modifier is two is real. Just checking to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Oh, that's a 24. That's a nat 20. Nat 20, wow. Excellent. I'll be in the same group as you. So I'll take that. Does it matter if I-- I guess what I would do next, yeah. So for the nat 20s, you'll roll everything you would normally, and then you'll calculate additionally whatever maximum damage that attack could do. So what are you doing? Like 1d6 plus 1 plus your sneak attack? I don't know what I was saying. It's showing-- Yeah, he did. So it's showing... I'm not going to take care of one of them. Is that correct? Yeah, it's two. I just rolled that. There you go. So I think it would be correct because you're rolling one for your sneak attack and one for your regular. So it would be 2d6 plus two, which that was eight right there? So ten? Yeah. So it would be ten damage, and then it would be plus 14. So 24. 24 total damage. Okay. In D&D, rules is written you should have twice as many dice, but there's been a lot of occasions where you just roll a bunch of ones and twos and then you want to shoot yourself in the foot. Or even crit. So we usually just do it that way. It's tough when you get crit. All the extra modifiers and stuff are confusing. That is enough to murder that one, though. So that one is done. That one's down. So there's just these two left. Have either of them taken damage? Can you tell us that? you want to do Sorry. I was just thinking, I don't know if there's anything else I can do that will be particularly helpful at this point. Let me look at my bonus actions. Anything that's useful. Uh, no, honestly I don't think there's anything else I want to do. I just kind of want to hang where I am. Maybe if I get an opportunity on my next turn, I will do more ranged attacks for now. That was a very effective turn. You're done. Do I know what their healths are at? They would... You would see that Gray is bloodied still, right? Yeah. You would know that he's not doing super well. I used to like, uh, I am bloody again. Yes. So he was okay. Bloodied. Okay. Again, now bloodied again. Right. So yes. So, let's see, let me see.

• These ghouls are gloomily.
• Would he know I'm paralyzed? Would he see me when he know that that was my condition?
• Is he standing right next to you? - Yeah. - Probably suspect that you're like, there's something wrong with Jable. More than usual. I'm not sure if your bud can help you out. He could have hired all this.

Yeah, I don't have anything for Stun. Yes. Do you like that right now? Yes. Hit the two! That's good. I can...

• Morning to pick up my PC and my old one that I was giving to him. And Ashanti came out from underneath the couch all the way up to him to sniff his hands and let him go.
• Wow, she likes dudes.
• I guess so. I remember her being pretty good with Derek when we came over as well. Maybe not quite letting him pet her, but getting pretty close. She's also, she's been getting better with my little sister too. Apparently last time my little sister came over, she didn't kiss at her at all. Didn't have like scared looking eyes or anything either. No scary face. So she's getting a little better about it.

Okay. So I use, I cast Healing Word on Jables. Okay. The two d4 plus three... It'll be your triangle guy. Top right corner. Oh, this is... Okay, and then this, right? Yeah, they look terrible to step on. Yeah, this is a funky outcome. Okay, so six plus three, so nine. Excellent. Get him out of healing. Are you bloody? No. Okay, I bet you're not bloody. Still paralyzed. I'm not bloody. And then I move to here. Then I... So that's 5-10. Weren't you standing right next to Jables? You might have taken one attack of opportunity. Just one. Okay, what would that effect be? He would make an attack early against you. Could potentially miss, could potentially hit. He'd make a single bite. Move I don't need to move it's not really worth taking that I'm just gonna do my bonus action if that's okay? Absolutely, yes. And I will keep that in mind for the future because I now understand how that works. But for my bonus action, I use the Pearl Fire. It's usually at least three. Typically, it's uneven. Oh no, that's a magic action. I cannot do that. Once you get bonus actions out of cantrips, you'll be able to splice them. Where you start getting leveled spells that are bonus actions and you can do action captures. Wait, Healing Word can be a... Healing Word's a bonus action. Bonus action. Yeah. So you'd still have a... So I still have a primary action. So I can use my magic action to throw the fire. You just wouldn't be able to use another leveled spell even if you could. Right. So you can throw the fire. So I hurl fire at... Okay. That's like a ranged attack, right? You will make it if it is managed, but you can still make it. Is it a ranged attack? A ranged spell attack, yeah. Is this guy in this square? He's within five feet. These are both within five feet. So it would be a disadvantage either way. It's more like 10 feet away, but you would have to be, it would be perilous to be attacking through kind of two other units. And then, so what is disadvantage exactly? Take the lower roll. Fuck it. I'll take the disadvantage. Yeah, sometimes disadvantage is worse. Hey man, you can roll two points. I've seen it. You could roll again. Four sixes. It's a 10 and a 19, so a 10. So 50. Did you write 5 here? Yeah. Did it? Yeah. Okay, so it does 1d8. Yeah Yep, I just wanted to fortify her. Excellent, better than nothing. I just appreciate another target standing there while I'm paralyzed. It is a nice thing to do, isn't it? I wonder what their turn is going to consist of. Well, at least you end your turn before they get their turn, so you definitely won't be paralyzed when they attack. You'll be paralyzed before your turn. Oh, I'm just paralyzed until the end of my turn? Your turn. So I could move like here and like block this guy from attacking Jables, right? By the time they're hitting, I won't be paralyzed anymore. Okay, so it wouldn't matter? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I am at turn. Jables, you would have whatever restrictions you would have that paralyzing poses during your turn. Can you do anything? No. No actions, no reactions, no movement? Well see, because the cool thing is, the first thing of paralyzed is incapacitated. Oh, which is no action. And then after that, it adds on to the things you cannot do. Well, alright. I didn't know they knew that. So no, I'm gonna say that my turn. I'm unparalyzed though, which is fucking huge. When you're paralyzed, enemy attacks within five feet are auto-crits. That's why I was like, "Are you healing me for fucking nothing?" That's why you were like, "Fuck paralyzed isn't too much." And I'm sure you read a little bit. Okay, now hold on. And then you fully read it because I knew. But it is until the end of its next turn. It is going to, or should I say, they're each going to take two attacks against each of you two. They're going to multi-attack this time? They are. They're going to take their bites. So the first bite to hit on you is a 23. On me? You. Do what now? 23 to hit. I assume that hits. Yeah. Second bite attack is 12? That does not hit. Okay, so you're gonna have one bite land. So you're going to take a cumulative 8 damage. 8 damage. Nice. Nice. One of these days, one of these days, and that's going to be, takes back to you, Rick. Cool. All right, well. Am I in a position where I can still hit one of the others without hitting somebody on my team? Because it looks like I'd be shooting through Jables. Because if it's okay, I would like to just continue with my long shit, but I don't want to risk hitting Jabez. You would risk that from his direct angle. Especially since it's like very close combat with that thing. Okay. And I've got pretty low hit points. I don't know what really I want to do in terms of getting close to do anything, so. We were only mad around a critical fail, right? If he hits me? Pretty much. Okay, so it's not like a... If you roll a one, you're definitely going to hit me. Unless I roll a poor one. He healed me. Unless I do a lot of damage to you. Another net. Yeah. Yeah. Net one and a perfect roll. It's like the only time it really would matter. I don't know that anything I can do right now otherwise would be useful. That was the thing I'm looking at. So an attack rule is the d20 to determine if the attack hits, right? Yeah.

• Three health, right?
• Yeah, I meant like three health, but I don't wanna get any closer, it's not ideal. Since they're just like clawing and biting, I wanna stay far back, but I don't wanna, I don't know if there's anything I can do that would waste. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to think about, I'm looking at my other actions. - I think you're a fucking marksman. - Yeah. - Didn't go for it?
• Yeah.

I've had pretty good luck so far, so... I've still got other healing spells, so... Alright, I'll go for it. I think this man is gonna fucking thread the shot through my legs and hit that ghoul right in the dick. Alright, well, I guess I'll just do that again, yeah. I'm just gonna aim. I gotta decide which one I'm aiming for. Can I... Can I see this one at all? Am I able to aim at that one? Okay, so I can only shoot at this. I'm telling you, trick shot it between my legs. Alright, well, I'm gonna go for it, I guess. I'm just gonna roll that hit, and... Are we still blessed? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so. So I can do four. Can I just add that to the regular roll as well? Yeah. Okay, so let me do this roll. That's 15 plus four. It's 19. We're going to add the D4. I'm just going to roll that separately here. And that gives me three. So what was that again? Was it a 19? 22? Yeah, 22. That's negative. 22 and then just roll one whatever for my damage. The sneak attack, because it's attacking Iridil, technically. So you would add your additional d6. Okay. Four's it says six them you probably had plus two that oh So six was and it was adding plus two so eight I would do eight plus two I Rolled two fours it would be one be six plus two plus your additional d6 so you would only have to be two Exactly, so it only be two d6. You wouldn't have the plus two modifier two Yeah, so it'd be 10. Okay, yeah, so it'd be 10, yeah, because I rolled two fours. So yeah, 10. Okay, yes, okay. Okay, so 10. All right, cool, so 10. So that one right there in particular, it is dusty. And we will canonically say that we did exactly what he was hoping, right? Shot it through and hit that little right in the dick. I see it. It's right up, it's gotta be like pretty close to my head. How tall is your character? I'm a human, so I mean, I mean, Jables, he ain't tall. Well, I mean, I'm like three foot six. Yeah, I'm like five foot eight. Oh yeah, I'm just crouched down in a little human. Wow. Done. Excellent. Again, I don't want to get closer and there's not really much else I can do, so I'm gonna leave it at that, to be honest. You're dumb. I feel the breeze. Okay. He's still standing after that? He's dusty. He's dusty, but he is still standing. He's not even bloody? Well, that's bloody for them. Oh, okay. You know, ghouls and blood. That's fair, yeah. Reasonable. Okay. So... Uh... Sacred flame. Oh, no. I'm the guy that's closer to me. It's Dusty. Is that what I'm... Shagone. This is a save on his part, I believe. It is. DC-13. Because I know his stats, because I'm in here. Okay, we got that out of the way. I know, it's a disappointment. For you. Could have gotten that on an attack roll. I got a nat 20 to snip out which one was a bitch, okay? You did. You also had one against you directly as well, so they would have come out. So he doesn't take damage. He does not, unfortunately, for a cantrip. Your higher level, like leveled bells will do half damage on a badass. Okay. So then... That just takes my action though, right? Yes. So then I can... Do I want to... I'll go ahead and do my bonus action of putting my... Producing the flame. Okay. Just in case they're still around next time. You produce that flame. Jables. Dusty one is going to get... I'm going to swing at him. I'm going to swing at him. Those are actions. We're swinging. Only an 11 to hit. Negative. This is a bonus action. - Spell Sloth. I'm just gonna save my bonus action for now. More like save my spell slot. That takes it to ghoul boy one and two. I still got a bonus action that I'm not gonna use. I spit on him. On the dusty one. He looks like he needed it. You know, he's gonna take that in stride. As all ghouls do. And they're gonna take their attacks. Similarly to how they took them before. They're gonna take their multi attacks. They're gonna go out swinging. So the first two coming against you, Iride. - Gonna be a 19 and a 20, unnaturally?

• They both hit.
• And the two against you. 17 and 19.

More spit, but one hit. One hit? We're gonna do the two against Iredell first. First one's going to be a cumulative... six damage. Second one's going to be a cumulative... Oh, you're fucking lucky I'm low... low... low... Rolling low! Four damage. Dead? It still takes me to negative.

• Was it, were any of those necrotic damage? - Yes. - Parts of it, 'cause he takes half necrotic.

So the first one, the necrotic was the highest. So the first one you would reduce by three damage. The necrotic was six of them. So it's three and... The next one you would reduce the necrotic by two. So three and two is the damage that I take. Well you would reduce the damage that I just told you overall by that. Thank you guys. That's why once you started saying combined, I was like, hold on now. He just said negative. Let me start pulling out the stops. So you're still up? Yeah. But you're... I'm bloody. Okay. And now they got one hit on me. They did. Eight piercing and one necro. Cool. Nine. And that's going to be their turns. Which takes it back to Greg. Back to me again. Alright, I'm just gonna do the same thing. There's nothing else I can really do. Exactly, you need that roll. So. You need that roll. Alright, one more short throw roll. My boy is - Toby with the bow. - Oh wait, no, and I can still add the D4 to that too.

• Yeah, we can. - I'm gonna remember that. So I'm gonna roll the, I'm gonna roll a 20 and then add the D4. So, 22.

That hits. That hits. That hits. Again. Hey, Melodic! Is this still giving me the sneak attack? Yes. Cool. So I'm going to do... He splits the arrow that was already in the main attack. Robin hits that. So six total... Six total and what was it that I added to that? Six total and then it's plus what? That would be 2d6 plus 2, won't it? Plus 2, yeah. Yeah, sure. Let's go back into the history again. So, 1d9, 2. So, it was 4 plus 2, so 6 damage. Okay. And that's on the bear-looking one with the big shit stick. You said 4? 6 total. 6? 4 plus 2. That would be just enough. Nice. Yeah, just enough. Just enough. Just one ghoul boy now. Who I do not believe has been harmed. No. I still have the spell slot. That you do. Just gotta hit him. That you do. Okay - Okay. I am going to take a step back. I'm not going to go all the way back. I had a little distance. Standing on top of the other cool boys? Yeah, just teabagging them. Yeah. Yeah. It's not sanitary, but... You're going to help me carry the fucking remains? Teabagging the ghouls. They're very different things, you know. You want this one? I definitely throw the fireball. Yes. Yes. I'm throwing it like this. As I use my magic action to hurl fire at a creature or object within 60 feet of me, make a ranged spell attack on hit. The target takes 1d8. So. What do you do with your roll? So 16 plus, okay. So I don't have to worry about my modifier then. And then I can just roll my 1d8. three okay and so i'm bloody and gray's bloody right we're all bloody yeah we're all bloody yeah pretty soundly now but it's all good bro I got myself far out of the way as soon as I could. The good old disengage. The road classic. Yeah. So if I were to use Goodberry right now, the berries appear in my hand. But then it just says, a creature can take a bonus action to eat one berry. So I could then, in theory... So I'm going to Goodberry, eat a single Goodberry? Right. But then they could each... I mean, I've already used my action, so I'm just reading it and trying to make sure I know how it works. So after they're in my hand, could either of them... then just use a bonus action to eat one? I've heard. It's not like it's my opinion of the book. Not in that way. I don't, I mean, you can still take it as a suppository if you want to. To stabilize them on hand. Right, right, I remember hearing about this. Of course you did. That will be my turn. It's not even the worst thing to happen. No. That's not even the worst or most deprived thing to happen. This guy's getting swung on. I wish I had more luck points. You want to give me another luck point? Sure. Roll me like two death saving throws. Nah, nah, nah. You can plus d4s on them, right? I'm good with that. No, actually. They're saving throws, no? Yeah, but they're not like, they're death saving throws. They're death saving throws. Good luck, have fun. Oh, yeah. I don't hit him. It's always good for me, but... Um... Because it's a 10. Negative. Negative goes right. Does it just stand here again? Must I stand here once more? Protecting my bloody friends while I'm tying myself in bloody. Oh! So he has against you in particular. He has it's about to it's about to be his turn again. It's like I want to save my bonus action for a smite, but I could shield of faith myself. Decisions, decisions. Do I stand here and spit in his face and just wait? The worst that happens, I go down, I stand here, I spit in his face, and I wait. The worst that can happen. He's going to take a single flaw deck against you, and be overturned to silver. Sixty? Yeah. Alright. He shot his shot, trying to paralyze you in the last moment, and kill you. That takes it back to you, Rick. Back to me. Can I see that Ghoul at this point is it still behind the doorway? I can't see it You can pass through without Provoking it even if you felt like you needed to run by it. You could just disengage with bonus. Okay Yeah, and I've got 30 feet So and you said each one of these like blocks is five. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna reposition and Fire my bow again. I've been doing very good with this thing so far. So, 10, 15, 20. Yeah. Just gonna reposition back over here. That way we're huddled together with our ranged attacks back here. And then I'm gonna do the same old short bow again. So, roll that and then add my D4, which I desperately need because that was a 7. I spread my legs wide. Plus 3, so it's a 10. Unfortunately not. Nope. Okay. Miss. Misses my legs though. And I appreciate that. Do you know how many times Derek has shot me? I've been shot by Derek almost more than he's shot the enemy. That's hilarious. He's fucking barred and every time he was like, and I'm going to use my bow, I'd always be like, all right, let's not lose. I'm not going to win this. At least I have proficiency in mastery with the short pose. Is that you turning the light? Let me double check and see if there's anything else I can do that would be... I don't think there's anything else I can really do right now that would be worth it. You're done. Sacred Flame. Sacred Flame. You're doing a roll poorly. Please, take the hit. Take it. You know you want to. You know you want to. You know you want to. Oh! It's a what save? 13. Oh, he fails it. He fails it. Alright, so... deal 1d8 damage. 4 radiant damage. Excellent, excellent. Quatro. He's not dusty yet though, is he? No, I think he's only taken like 3 damage other than this. That's what I thought. Yeah. But every little bit counts, right? Every little bit counts. Do I get to swing again? Is that your turn? I'll go ahead and produce flame just in case I need it next turn. That's a 21. That does hit. He's also going to get smitten. Smitten? So the DA for the slashing is going to be 3 slashing. And then... Since he's undead, we'll do 3d8 for the Divine Smite. 11 radiant with 3 slashing. 11 radiant and 3 slashing? Yes. Yes, that's enough. Good job, guys. Good stuff. I thought that would really be a TPK there for a moment. We edged it out. A little resistance is here. Some healing there. Until I get my AC up somehow or something. Your AC will go up from your dex, I believe. Okay, yeah. Until I just get that stuff up a little bit, I think I'm going to stick with doing the ranged things. I always like doing ranged shit better. And plus for being a concealing illusion kind of guy, that works out. Well, it's nice as rogue having the disengage because you can go in, do a hit, and then disengage to get out. Like if you ever have some strong weapons. Mm-hmm. That leaves you guys exactly where you are. The opportunity attacks are what really suck about moving in and out of combat. So I guess something I could do, I didn't think about it, I was too afraid of getting hit because I had a little bit of health. If I had higher health, I'd think about going in with my dagger and my short sword and going in, doing the double hit that I could do, and then disengage, get the fuck out. I also have spells that I could get later. Right now it's not worth it for the utility for me, but I can grab spells that force things to attack. Or force things to not run away and stuff, so they couldn't chase you. Y'all are bloodied in the dark. You don't have light right now. It lasts for an hour. Oh, it does last for an hour. Okay, so it's definitely still going on. It's on my shield. Yeah, it's definitely still going on. You know what? You know, I'd really like to take a rest. Those crypts are looking pretty comfortable. I'm just gonna turn and look. I don't have any spell slots, but I would have to like really fucking sleep to get those back. But I mean, I could short rest, long rest, open them, whatever. Long rest is what I would want to do. Tell me what you guys want to do. Because then they have one open spell slot. That's true. Would you feel like we could long rest in there? Airedale does. I don't feel that way. In this instance, you don't feel any forces preventing you from resting. That's definitely a thing later on, but not right now. Gotcha. That's like that. I've got EGSV right now. Cool. Well, we already examined those crypts, right? So we would have known that already. Yeah, I'm down for that. So I guess we would just kind of post up and maybe have one person move to the card. Whatever, I don't know. Yeah, we can post up in there and do whatever kind of rest we need to do. Because you guys need your bloody asses black. These children's crips. You would notice that there are large stone slabs, like these right here, that are kind of off to the side right now, but are meant to seal the crips. I don't know if any of you guys are strong enough to move them. But you almost could get it and seal it in there. Is that something where somebody could try to move it and we could do a help thing and try to help them move it? Maybe we could reposition them to block the pathway out into the hall so we could be a little bit more secure in here. Yeah, like try to move one of them to here between the three of us. Yeah, something like that. Between the three of us, could we do it? I'm not that strong. So you're trying to move it from here to here? Yeah, as a group, if Jables is down. Because we need tables. Athletics. Athletics. Athletics. Athletics. Athletics. That's not good for me. 17 actually. A little better than I did. I did. 413. Thank you. Pretty good setting. So you know, all of you guys combined are able to scoot this heavy slab over to the section that you guys designated. Cool. Where do we move it to technically? My thought was... You guys claimed to move it like right here, right? Yeah, that was my thought, yeah. Exactly. That's what I was hoping. Yeah, just kind of blocking it off there, giving us a little small space where we could sit and be secure for a second. Okay, well you do just that. You do just that. Excellent. So, I am going to have you guys roll me two checks, just to see what happens over these eight hours, because eight hours is a little long. Okay. So, for the first four hours you guys are in this crypt resting, someone roll me a D-100. I'll do it. Anyone can do it, yeah. This is a D100, right? That's one of them. And then this is the other one. Yeah. Sixty... Nine. Nice. 69! Very nice. First D100, 69. The first four hours... Pass without incident. You would hope, you know. We also didn't specify who was up. I guess you guys could all be doing non-stradio activity during this time, not necessarily. Yeah, we're all kind of hoping that our slab works. So, on that note, we're all going to do 200, some of somebody. I can roll with you. I want you to roll it. Go for it. We'll take the real dice. 38. Oh, no. Usually in the horror bag when it's like super low. And you will have the next four hours happen with that incident as well. Some of the tables are going to be random. So you need a lot rest. You get everything back. So how does this work? So if you go to the top. I'm going to take that. So what do I need to do? So recover all hit back. Recover all hit back. - And then just reset Maximate Feet here and that's it. Take one rest.

• You have to click it twice at a time. - Yeah. - There you go.
• Cool. Just wanted to make sure I chose the right settings for the rules.
• Yeah.
• Let me see if I want to change up.

Like, 23 more minutes, we got? Yeah. Getting into some good stuff, we're finally in the... ...figured around the long rest would be a good stopping point. You want to stop right now? I mean, it's up to you guys. I was just thinking. I'm tired. We could. We could. Let's see how Joplin feels when he gets back in. It's not a bad stopping point. It's not. Y'all have had some interesting and dangerous encounters this time around. Days when you guys are up for it though, I can definitely play for pretty long periods of time, depending on the timing. Yeah, I'm a scumbag. I'm a little particularly tired this weekend, but maybe another weekend. Just thinking for me, just going out Thursday and then streaming Friday and then doing an army Saturday. We played for a solid four and a half hours, so that's good. Got down to the nitty gritty of combat, which is good. It's both fortunate and unfortunate that both scenarios of Y'all's early combat are deadly. Those fights were deadly, but it's good. It's good learning opportunities, you know? You really suss it out. Yeah, they were not very helpful. No. Neglected children tend to not be. But I mean, they were fucking ghosts. They can, like, go through walls and shit. Come on, man.

• I will say, one of the tougher enemies you'll face is one of Travis' favorite enemies ever.

Wait, what? I'm reading oath stuff because there's so many oaths. I said one of the tough enemies you guys are going to face is one of your favorites. Is it a really tall skeleton or is it a shambling mound? laughs Do you happen to have a USB-C charger? I can probably take this one from my lunchbox right here. yeah i'm cool either way i could We could call it or keep going if everyone's down, but if you're tired, force it. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. We'll just do that. It's a good spot. Just long rest. It is, but everyone make sure you long rest on your character sheets so you know that you've got all those resources back. So give me some time to do some homework on oaths. I'm stuck between a couple of them. Got homework, eh?
