Introduction to The Fellowship of the Tabletop
00:00:02
Speaker
So... What everyone will do... Seeing the... What the hell is that? I'll loan it to you, mate. Seeing the troglodyte as... Mini-chop in my left, having it exploded from... I'm gonna have to start again.
Witty Banter and Camaraderie
00:00:48
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of The Fellowship of the Tabletop, Bellum Draconis. We are a live play 5e D&D podcast set in the magical home-brewed world of Erith in the kingdom of Dralak. My name is Mark and I am the Dungeon Master and also with us for this week's episode we have Ian who plays the Tiefling Warlock, Nick Skorrel. I write notes. You can't come to me first when everyone's being a dick in the opening segment of this show.
00:01:14
Speaker
Because I'm writing right now opening Need to mute the funny shit going on in the background. Hi, by the way. We've got Danny who plays the half-orc monk morrow to Broken Dusk. Ponjour. Will who plays the divination wizard Old Girl. We've got Callum who plays the war-forged Artificer Alpha. I take shit notes in the absence of Ian. Darren who plays the high-elf Artificer Rain's Adele. That introduction was very Chris Jericho.
00:02:03
Speaker
the stuff with China. The Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens thing, the drinking. Oh, with the list. You just made the list. Half of our listeners having just turned off now. Wait a minute, this is WWE podcast. Oh, no, just a wrestling podcast because we need to talk about Adam Copeland. That's nice. On this day, we... What happened last week?
00:02:08
Speaker
and we have Will who plays the human cleric Emron.
00:02:25
Speaker
Do you know that was Beth who says that now? That's Beth Phoenix.
Recap of the Last Adventure
00:02:30
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In his AEW, you think you know me. Seriously, you've just got to talk over them, Daddy, because they won't stop. I only respond to Mark's instruction. I'm sorry, Will.
00:02:40
Speaker
On this cave, I see a little girl with a bird there to delight. We're sucking on the Kool-Aid, that is Edge. You think you know Big Joe? I thought Big Joe genuinely did. Well, it's a big big show. It's a big bad show tonight, dawg.
00:03:03
Speaker
God, Danny, that's nice. I like that. I have a slight tingle in my balls. And right. Speaking of tingles and balls, we were on the edge of our balls and tingling over the precipice of a lava lake. Big ball and a lake of lava last week on the fellowship of the table. So we should probably, probably, probably, probably head over to Danny, our chronicler for an update on what happened last week in the fellowship of the tabla top plop.
00:03:26
Speaker
In the last few pages of our adventure, the party find themselves within the lair of the Roper, the creature they have been sent to dispose of, who promises great bounty for doing so.
00:03:39
Speaker
Inside the layer, the party traversed over a big pool of water, then into a seemingly interesting graveyard full of troglodytes, which they managed to bypass without encounter. Then, having navigated the northern section of the layer and backtracking, they find themselves over a great big pool of lava.
00:03:57
Speaker
there they found what they thought was the Roper creature, only some sort of native living stalagmite or stalactite, if you remember which one is
Surrounded by Troglodytes
00:04:06
Speaker
which. The party then were tasked with pushing this thing into the river of lava, given the guidance of old Gel, to which, after doing so, the real trouble's awoken.
00:04:19
Speaker
you very much, Danny. And we came across a real issue here where calls and a cacophony of noise had called upon the troglodytes and from every angle around this lake of lava across the rickety bridge to the south, a line of these troglodytes were blocking the path of which Nix and Morota had tried to cross and then Nix quickly skiddaddled back across
00:04:38
Speaker
cross, leaving Marota on her own on the southern side of this long bridge. Everyone else was on the other side. We had Emron's weapon floating, floating phallic weapon heading over towards him, a hoot over as well, an old girl's bowel companion, a familiar, on the southern side as well, but Marota holding off a thin alleyway against a sea of these
00:05:03
Speaker
Kremlin creatures heading towards Morota and the rest of the party. We had left it on that cliffhanger of what Morota was going to do.
00:05:17
Speaker
And that, unfortunately, is what we're going to have to jump straight into in our order. Just to let you know the order we're at, just in case you missed from last week, it's Marota, then the Troggos that are going to have their turn.
Combat Strategies and Humor
00:05:27
Speaker
Then we go to the top of the round where it's Nix, Reigns, Alpha, Old Girl, Clemron, and then back round to Marota. That's wrong. I checked on my turn. Oh, shit. Just coming straight in and saying that's a wrong round.
00:05:39
Speaker
I'm not softly doing it, just like that's wrong. I had shifted my initiative order to after Marota, so it was mine, and I was waiting to see what Marota did, so I shifted my initiative to after Marota. There's nice ways of saying it, Will, that's all I'm saying. Yeah, pull one. How about roll one here, Mark? Roll one. DM's always right. Pull it. Pull it. Actually, don't, because we're all going to die. Don't pull that. I resumed it. Okay, so Kuntron moves there after Marota.
00:06:27
Speaker
I don't know what was on
00:06:29
Speaker
That's all I wrote. And then I write, what will she do? AC 16, which doesn't apply to any creature you fought. HP, again, no answer to that. I've crossed out one word that looks like garden and then scribbled
Daring Escapes and Tactical Moves
00:06:45
Speaker
down four columns of lined paper. So that's what goes on in my mind when we're fighting, apparently. Your DM note is no detail. We've looked behind the curtain.
00:06:57
Speaker
I don't have, yeah, piss time I wrote on my other page as well. Claws. I'm really glad we're at this really suspenseful point that we were going to dive straight into. Well, you could thank Will for that. He killed the... I built it up and he just spat in my mouth. I was just making sure the sexual order was correct because I listened to myself so I could have remembered that and didn't want to hear that. I'd like to think that there's like a...
00:07:23
Speaker
If we're watching this somewhere, like, Marotta's still waiting and now our voices are over the top of it. It's like, Marotta and Lee Trogg have that. Just look around, like, where are these voices coming from and just be sucking this out. There is a film about, like, is it called, like, The Gamers? You heard about The Gamers' Hands of Fate, where it's a film within a film where there are a group of people playing D&D and then their characters are also characters and it does break the fourth wall at several moments. Like, Lego movie.
00:07:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And also Ian, I will spit in your mouth and I guarantee you'll enjoy it. This is so sick. Always open. Marota, what are you doing? Yes, Marota. What's going on? We find ourselves bubbling Lake of Lutmus, right again, Will, so feel free to fuck it. We're in a broad lake of lava. We're in a broad lake of lava. Heat emanates upon Marota's back. The sound, the glottal noise of these troglodytes echoing up the darkened shadowed entrance of the cave to yourself.
00:08:18
Speaker
Everyone else waiting pat patiently on the other side, pensively on the other side, Clemron ready to rock and roll at a
Navigational Chaos and Regrouping
00:08:25
Speaker
moment's notice because, you know, he interrupted my last time I did this. Morota, what is it you would like to do?
00:08:34
Speaker
So thankfully, I don't need to disengage because there's enough space between me and the next troglodyte. So whoever dispatched to arrange the one in front of me, I'm eternally grateful for. So I'm just going to smile and take a dagger out from my hip.
00:08:52
Speaker
and I'm gonna beeline and turn and sprint back across the bridge. And as I get to like the last 10 feet before I reunite with the rest of the party at the other end, I'm gonna cut, seeing that everyone is on the right hand side as I'm looking at it, I'm gonna cut the left hand ropes. So the one that's on holding the foot planks, the one that's holding like the hand rail, I'm just gonna, as I'm running, just sort of do like a low swipe action and remove those. And then the moment that they cut, I'm just gonna leap that last 10 foot of my movement
00:09:19
Speaker
straight into the safety of the other. Nix's arms. Well, there is a square there. There's a square that I can occupy without needing to do that. Nix's arms. Let's say- Please jump into Nix's arms. Nix's arms. Jump into Nix's arms. Could you roll to hit first? Yes, with the dagger. Yes, please. Yeah. Okay. Well, technically it says dart.
00:09:44
Speaker
My tail's ready for you as well. 22. Yeah, you're fine. You managed to easily swipe through it. Oh, girl.
00:09:51
Speaker
Yeah. Is there anything you wanted? Fulfilling the held action by a hoot from last week. It's been a whole bit for a week. A hoot is going to vomit acid as like a curtain down onto the other side of the rope bridge as well as soon as he makes it over halfway across the bridge. Are you aiming to hit some of them or just to stop them from traversing? Nope. Just vomiting on the bridge and hoping that something happens to it.
00:10:16
Speaker
Okay, yeah. I'll jump to Klamaron's turn and then we'll see what happens to the bridge. Klamaron, Morote is back on the side. You've lowered your initiative order in order to be here. What would you like to do? I'm going to move my spiritual weapon off the bridge.
00:10:33
Speaker
because, you know, need to. And then seeing the bridge is being dealt with, everyone will move, realizing that they've not checked behind them. They've been focused on everything in front of them. So everyone will then move to the entrance way that they came in by initially. Yeah, to the north.
00:10:58
Speaker
And then depending on what he sees, yeah. So the alleyway splits, this cabin splits into two five foot wide parts. You entered through the one to the left and then to the north where there was a small encampment, a larger encampment, sorry, of these trouble lights. From your current location, you can't see anything, but you hear noises of them to the left and to the right. That's fine. I will cover, I'm covering this entrance, that's fine.
00:11:24
Speaker
Okay, lovely. Thank you very much. With that movement, the acid burns through from a hoot's vomit and burns through that half of the bridge. Morota's half snaps as well. Everything kind of hangs by this one thread on the right-hand side, on your side, and the bridge falls into the lagoon of lava below.
00:11:45
Speaker
And about 10 feet of it goes into the lava and burns up. And the tropical lights hit the edge of this bridge and just stare, scream, and then sprint off in another direction. So the ones to the south, all of them disappear. There are still, though, one or two leaning over the ledge to the east, over the lake of lava, looking. And again, they kind of more slowly sculpt back into the darkness behind them out of view.
00:12:15
Speaker
We're at the top of the round now, and we'll keep this
Intense Battle and Tactical Retreat
00:12:17
Speaker
initiative already because there's stuff around, stuff in the round. Nix, over to you. Everyone is back over. The bridge has been lowered and destroyed. The chocolate lights have gone from view. What would you like to do? Well, that was close. That was my bad. My bad. I chose to go that way. There's only one way to go now, so let's just turn ourselves around and carry on and find a way around. I assume that wasn't the roper.
00:12:44
Speaker
So our mission here is still valid. Let's go! And so Nix will turn around and walk his full movement. If we're still in initiative order, I'm going to take the dash action, which gives me 60 feet of movement. And he's just going to push past M1. Excuse me. Excuse me. And when he gets to the area that M1 is, the path splits into left and right. Which fucking way did we come from?
00:13:13
Speaker
We came from... We came from... Do you want to roll a history check? I don't. Does Ian want to roll a history check? We could all tell you, but we're enjoying our suffering. Yeah, no, no, no. Let's do the history...
00:13:31
Speaker
Nah, fuck it. I'm going right. I'm going right. And so, Nyx will just carry on right. You see that play out in real time. Nyx turns to the left. He turns to the right. Then he turns to the left again. And then he goes, nope. And he walks to the right. I feel like this is like the Frodo Mordor gun now, left or right. Always follow your nose. Okay, you start traipsing your way down. You've got 60 feet of movement, haven't you? Yeah. You kind of slowly step by. Oh, dashing. Dashing.
00:14:01
Speaker
It goes around for about 30 feet before violently turning left, up north, and then it splits again into two. You can kind of edge round to the left or there's an entrance way to the right, kind of T-junction, like there is a torch at this juncture as well. But that is that all your movement. Yep, that's all my movement, so I'm just looking up that T-junction there and I'm just shouting back, it seems to be okay, I've chosen the right way.
00:14:31
Speaker
This time, chosen the right way, chosen the right way, chosen the right way. Echo! All right, where were you on that? Yeah, left you hanging, man. Raines, over to you. Nick's just run off. Walked.
00:14:48
Speaker
Okay, we're gonna talk. Okay. Nope. We ain't we ain't talking about this apparently and see we still feel him flee the footed down here and a little writing will come on the Rubik's Cube saying affirmative and what reigns will do is he'll take off like I damn it next way though and reigns is gonna take the dash action himself He has 70 feet of movement. Thanks to his armor getting a five feet bonus so he will
00:15:16
Speaker
He's going to get as far as Emrom, actually. Reigns is going to get as far as Emrom. And what he's going to do is he's going to go... Add Tiefling go on the right way. And from there, he's just... In fact, yeah, Reigns is going to stay with Emrom. Reigns is going to get to Emrom. He's going to go... Add Tiefling go on the right way. And that's the end of his... That's the end of his turn. Ow! I can use the reaction to respond if Michael let me. I did him up a minute.
00:15:44
Speaker
Which you do. We've never played that before. Why change things now? No, no, no. Yeah, so he'll get up with him on bonus action. The hood of the almost kind of like the hood from June will open up and what will happen is his brain will just glance around and go, should he go on the right way? Pointing in the direction after Nick's. Have you just watched that film by chance? No, I haven't watched it for ages.
00:16:11
Speaker
so good right um alpha with a perfect memory you know exactly which way we went go ahead yeah alpha probably knows calum can't fucking remember anything um should have should have drawn this really um you can do it alpha's gonna start heading up towards emeron and reins he's gonna squeeze past him still with old gal on his back um i do not believe now how
Defensive Actions and Resource Management
00:16:35
Speaker
does a robot squeeze up basically he thinks he's squeezing but he's just shoving them out the way
00:16:42
Speaker
Let's be honest, you're going to push up against him. He's literally moving you. That's what he's doing as he goes past you. Okay, so what are you doing then? I'm going to kind of begin to follow Nix, but I'm still in like, I'm in between where Rains and Emron and Nix are. So I'm using my movement. I'm using my action to add additional movement to it. I'm literally putting myself smack dab in the middle of both of them.
00:17:07
Speaker
Okie dokie, thank you very much. Oh, girl, you're still on Alpha's back and you went with him. Yeah, no, exactly. I'm even tied to his waist from a couple of episodes ago. I tied myself up to him. So I'm still on his back. Are you still seeing through? Yeah, he's clinging on hard to his head and he's not going to break that connection. I have to use an action to maintain it. So I'm still seeing through Ahut's eyes who still got
00:17:30
Speaker
now eight rounds of acid breath left but i am going to effectively as a hoot fly the full movement speed as fast as i can back towards us over our heads and i'm going to use the owl to explore over to the west sorry going left basically when it gets to us and staying as high as it can to the top of the cabins
00:17:55
Speaker
It's going to make its way back into that room that we did come from, from the left-hand side before. As far as my movement will allow, it's got 60 feet movement speed. I don't know if I can dash controlling a familiar by seeing through its sensors or whether I can, because it's technically not one of its actions. It doesn't have an action to dash.
00:18:16
Speaker
Familiars can take any action that's capable of other than the attack action, which is cast a spell, dash, disengage, dodge, help, hide. My action is to go through a hoot's senses. A hoot's action straight after mine will be to dash 120 feet from where it currently resides at the top of the south end of the bridge, over our heads, left into the cabin and as far as it can into the new cabin.
00:18:40
Speaker
Yeah, and work its way in there and effectively, I just want to see what it can see from within that cabin. 95 feet gets you to the torch on the left. Cool. So another 50, sorry, 25. Oh, that way. Sorry, to the left. Yeah, over our heads. Sorry, 95 gets you to the torch. Well, sorry, I worked out why we were talking.
00:19:01
Speaker
Okay, excellent stuff. Thank you very much for that. I was just talking. If that gets me there above the torch, then technically I've got 25 left and I'll take the 25 to go northwards into that cabin that we've come from with the big bone pile. Because I seem to remember there was also a passageway
00:19:20
Speaker
And this is something that other people wouldn't necessarily know or remember, but I seem to remember it. There was a passageway to the left from in there as well. They are all kind of staring at at some point. So I'm going to send a hoot forwards to try and explore that route.
00:19:36
Speaker
Get to the tent. I can't move via hoop symbol on the map. That's right. It's no problem. I'll move it to there. But thank you for pointing that out for me. But yeah, that's the intention for my action. I'm not going to say anything. I'm literally just clinging on to his head. You notice through his eyes that the area with these tropical lights seem to have emptied. There's three of them remaining in the space. One seems to be careening around the corner. It was just out of view from Rains and Emron. It's about 20 feet away from them. So you've got heads up on that.
00:20:05
Speaker
there's two other ones in there near the bone pile but both of them seem to be running in different directions again trying to pinpoint voices in this place from where you guys are located is obviously hard for them as well so yeah it's that's what you can see at the moment the bone pile is still there the entranceway the figure that was blocking that entranceway before has now disappeared or moved on to the left sorry would you i don't know how it'd work i guess all my senses go into the bird so i wouldn't be able to talk
00:20:35
Speaker
Anyways, so yeah, that's fine. I'll leave it at that, but you'll have seen a hoop fly over our heads and head that way. And go to the left. Yep. Okay. Lovely. Thank you very much. Uh, background to you, Marota, everyone has scarpered. Well, this is what happens at the same time, really, doesn't it? So what do you want to do? Uh, I don't want to get caught in a very narrow corridor. So I'm going to try and go a different way and hope I can flank around. So Marota is going to,
00:21:05
Speaker
Rather than go into the narrow space that Emeron has sort of led with everyone else, I'm going to take a hard, easterly direction in a more open space. Yes, there's a parallel, slightly more open way that we haven't gone through before yet.
00:21:20
Speaker
If I dash, I get 80 feet, so I'm using 70 to get to the next open space. Let's take you back ever so slightly because as you come around the corner, this is where the drug with ice from the previous area had, um, they'd picked to go straight ahead from
Heroic Moves and Strategic Withdrawal
00:21:37
Speaker
there to try and cut you off.
00:21:39
Speaker
Basically come the way you're going to get to you quickly because it's wider the same thinking as well And you to come around this corner and seeing them all in kind of mid stride sprinting in your direction around the corner that way
00:21:52
Speaker
Okay, then yeah, I will see out my full 80 feet of movement using a bonus action step of the wind. So I'll spend a key point to do that. And then I will go for a whip attack on this troglodyte that's at the back of this charging quadrant, quadruplet. And I'm going to strike this guy. This creature. The back is in the one closest to you now. Yep.
00:22:18
Speaker
Cool. Yeah. Well, I know they're facing the wrong way because I move them quickly, but they're running down towards basically where you've just come from. I'm going to go for the front of the pack in that case. They're running towards me. Yeah, that's cool. I'm trying to make a distraction. No worries. Roll to hit them.
00:22:33
Speaker
That is a crit. Yeah, man. Hot diggity. They're wet. Okay. So I have savage attack as well. So I roll. I struggle to calculate this on
00:22:51
Speaker
nine nine points of damage in total yeah how what are you adding the total damage and total critical damage yeah so you've got a five original you're going about the flashing critical and then it adds your savage attacks and it summarizes it for you great so it's nine in total great thank you very much that's nine points of slashing damage nice this troglodyte you basically
00:23:11
Speaker
whip this thing and the whip kind of smashes into the chest when you hear ribs pop a liquid kind of pause out of its mouth it's still upright but it's kind of stumbling now with its own momentum forward it is still upright but it is it looks kind of dazed more kind of yeah on death's door so to speak but it's still upright. Anything else you want to do Morita? That's my turn. Emron what's your passive perception?
00:23:42
Speaker
It is 13. Thank you. Emeron, your turn. Ranges just in front of you. You see the owl hoots fly off to the left, whereas you see everyone else go to the right. What do you want to do? And I've seen Maro to go behind me to the right. Have I heard her whip? No, that's what I was checking for. Okay. So Maro has gone to the right.
00:24:09
Speaker
Everyone's going to turn to Reigns and be like, this is turning into a clusterfuck. I'll cover the rear. And I'm going to then go to the left and go down the way we come from the last time. Was I right? I chose the right. No, you were wrong. You're wrong. My question was where we came from last time and that was to the left.
00:24:32
Speaker
No, you came through the large truck area down, which was the left. No. So I went the way that we didn't come down. Yeah. So I'm right. You went the way we never used. So there we go. That's, that's, that's, that's all Nick's wanted. I just wanted to confirm that he was right. Everyone, you come on the corner face to face, almost like walking straight into them. Is this probably like stood right in front of you, growling at you and reaching up with his claws. Um, what do you want to do? I'd like to smash it in the face of the hammer. Yes, please do.
00:25:06
Speaker
Come on, big hit, big hit, big willy-will hit. 16 to hit. 16 hits. Roll that damage, baby. That takes seven points of one-handed bludgeoning damage. Boom, smashing down, crushing its clavicle and one hand hangs limp to its side. It's still upright though. And then I'd like to push it because of my crusher feet five feet backwards. Nice.
00:25:31
Speaker
slides back into the dusty, mossy, wet dirt that surrounds this truck with that camp. Lovely. Things all go this way, but we've got trucks. And then I'm going to I'm going to press forwards just to cover things so it can't like sort of get away from me quickly. And then I'm going to use my bonus action to move my spirit weapon up behind reins, covering that rear exit as well. Very nice, very nice.
00:26:00
Speaker
the Troggs go next. Troggs like near you, M1 is going to attack back with a 16 to hit. She's going to miss, I assume. Troggs near you. Let's do the one right next to you, Morita. Oh no, let's move them in first. They are going to
00:26:16
Speaker
30. Move in. 30. Three of them are in contact with you now. None of them have flanking, though, which is lucky for them. They can't squeeze past the gap and also get around, unfortunately. I'm moving for it. It's very kind of you. Top down. I was trying to, but I can't. 11 to hit. Miss.
00:26:36
Speaker
13 to hit. Miss. 24 to hit. Hit. All right, so the one you hit, let's argue, hits your back, actually, even though, no, that one definitely didn't hit you. You take four points of slashing damage from one of the trugs as the situation starts to go from bad to worse for your marota.
00:26:55
Speaker
the drugs to the, I should stop calling them drugs, the chocolate diets, give them this for them, to the north, notice the massive smash of your hammer, and run, and this slide of one of the companions sliding back of the gurgle that comes forth from their throat, and they move down to combat you as well. One, two, three, four, one actually can get in range of the other, can get close, but not quite close enough, in line with one of the small flesh-like, covered, dark,
00:27:20
Speaker
tents that seem to fill the space along with the bones within it, the smell, the musty smell that seems to emanate through it hits you as well, Enron. This frog is going to roll against you as well, that's a 12 to hit.
00:27:33
Speaker
Miss. I'm rolling like shit. That is the end of the turn. Nick's top of the round and no one else is in front of you. You can hear this cacophony of noise of these troggs, these weird glottal like clicking and once that rocks clacking together sound, I really can't emulate all around you. And you can hear the, the, the pounding feet of alpha behind you, but not much else. What do you want to do? Carry on forwards.
00:28:02
Speaker
Because if I'm hearing the chogs, I chocolate ice to the left and right of me, or am I hearing them massively to the right? Do you say cacophony? So that sounds like it's everywhere. Yeah. And at the moment you can hear them behind you and you can hear them in front of you, like to your left and in front of you because of where you are in the corridor. Okay. So I'm moving forward. It's my full movement. Five, 10, 15, 20. Put you next to the torch.
00:28:27
Speaker
And you said, I hear him to the left of me. You hear them a little bit to the left. You hear them a lot to the right. Fuck that. Don't go to the right. Assuming that everyone's beside me, I'm going to the left. Which for the listeners who can't see our Roll20 map, that is a second entrance to the place where Morota is, which would have given them the opportunity to flank them. But Ian is playing it exactly as Nick's would, which is absolutely spot on.
00:28:55
Speaker
And so moves around to the left, which gets you close. This is now you're backtracking exactly the way you came last time, Nix. And you can see from your location there, you can see a truck bearing down towards what you can assume is someone that you know, because they had this look of chaos and anger in their eyes. Seeing the room that Nix has already been through, he's like, fucked up, guys, again. I'm sorry.
00:29:24
Speaker
Ah, what can I do? I can do something. You've just moved, haven't you? You haven't used the dash action. Yeah, I've just moved. Shit. Okay. As he's saying, ah, fucked up, guys. He's kind of making a sphere with his hands deep in his long leather jacket. And as he pulls out both hands and juts them out with a kind of flamboyant finger of a symbol, he's going to cast Firebolt to the nearest chocolate in front of him, which is...
00:29:54
Speaker
30 feet or so in front of him. Not a problem. Roll tape. 15. Hits. Huzzah! And with a sexual eight of fire damage, I'd light his ass up.
00:30:12
Speaker
Boom. Down it goes. It doesn't go down. Like today. Yeah. Do some bit of damage to it. Burning flames kind of eek up the kind of, it's almost like they kind of rock like I've been down too long. And so all like the cracks in their skin and you see the flames kind of eek up and down them almost like it running up and down trenches and first of all. Yeah. You notice that kind of like veiny kind of as the flames go and then it all kind of dissipates and goes down and smoke as it continues to move forward.
00:30:42
Speaker
For flavor, the flame comes out purple out of Nix's hands, and then it will transfer into the red fire that is normal with this sort of spell. But anything that leaves Nix has this purple kind of hue to it, because that's the essence of his energy. Very nice, very nice. Thank you very much for that turn. Nix, Rains, over to you. You've heard, you can hear Nix on the wind shouting, ah, fuck it, fuck it, blah, blah, blah. And you can hear everyone grunting and his spiritual weapon making a beeline for him as well.
00:31:12
Speaker
Yeah, Darren's instinct is to go and help Marotta, but I'm acutely aware of the fact that what Reigns has just experienced is I'm going to go left from Enron and then all of a sudden he would have literally heard because of the close proxemics, the sound of hammer hitting something. So he knows that Enron's in a scrap effectively and he doesn't know that Marotta's in a scrap. Is my reading of what Reigns currently knows correct? It is, yes, spot on.
00:31:38
Speaker
Sorry, Johnny. Sorry, man. I fucked up and went the wrong way. So I have to play this the way that Rains would because Rains doesn't know that Morote is in trouble. Rains then immediately hearing the combat will go and see we've got half style and he's going to fly up onto Rains' shoulder. What Rains is going to do is he's going to beeline left. He'll get to where the campfire is and he'll just pull his cloak out of the way.
00:32:03
Speaker
and kind of like when the rock does like a really flamboyant people's elbow he's just going to then slide on two feet and come to a stop the other side of this torch. It's just then with quick motion going to bring up the lightning launcher and it's going to shoot for one of the two that is currently surrounding Enron. He will go for the one at this stage
00:32:23
Speaker
that he would have the easiest shot on, which would be the one to the left. So I don't know if that's the one that's taken damage, but Reigns wouldn't know either. It's an impulsive up comes the Rubik's Cube at the first target he sees. Okay, roll to hit. Come on.
00:32:43
Speaker
Oh, it's good. It's a 22 to hit. Yes, very good. Hits. Roll that damage. I will choose the optional additional D6 of damage to add the overload onto it, which I can do once per turn, which is when you're only rolling one attack per turn. Big deal. I'll still do it.
00:33:05
Speaker
So it takes 10 points of lightning damage and then with a little overcharge coming in right now. It takes another 5 points. It takes 15 points of lightning damage. Well overkill. Yeah, it had two HP left after M1's hit. But what you do is this shot comes arcing in over M1's shoulder. You can feel the energy, M1.
00:33:25
Speaker
as it powers past your head. Sorry, going to your hip because it's coming down from low. It hits the chest of this creature, firing it back 10, 15 feet, smacking against the base of this tent that's set up as the body twitches and convulses and falls and the chard and smoking heap on the floor. That creature is smooch. There's only one now in front of everyone. Anything else you want to do, Rains?
00:33:48
Speaker
Yes, what is then going to happen, Rains is going to go NC, you're up, and the little tongue of NC is going to come out and shoot this little force strike towards the other one that's still up. Nice, alright, roll to hit. Woohoo, that is a 19 to hit. Very nice, that's one of a crit. Three points of damage. I technically rolled a 15, I didn't roll a 19, I only said that when I rolled a 19.
00:34:17
Speaker
All right. All right. Just bring it back. Homer Simpson as well. Three points of damage to that one. Thank you very much. You're like, you're just carrying on with this. I'm not listening to you guys. Right. Brilliant. Thank you very much. Um, thank you. Raines for that alpha. Next is just run off round the corner to the left and you hear him going, Oh, for fuck's sake. I fuck all that stuff. Um, and yeah, that's what you're looking at. That's what you've seen so far. Yeah. I think, um, alpha would obviously follow.
00:34:45
Speaker
nixon's um steps to begin with um he would obviously we've seen him go over to the left and then he hears cursing from nick saying oh wait no i fucked up and all this kind of stuff so i i imagine alph would kind of start to turn to the left here nick say that and then think okay so it must be this way then um and alph is going to turn around and
00:35:07
Speaker
start heading over to the right using, um, he will use his dash action because he has to have the extra bit of movement. That's what we've been doing. He will then look south and see a whole array of, uh, chocolate night surrounding Marota. Just quickly shout down the cavern. Marota may need assistance in as urgent a voice as what he actually can do. Which sounds
00:35:35
Speaker
Well, literally, I like how I just did. Marota may need assistance!
00:35:39
Speaker
Which none of us heard, because it was really quiet. Oh, my apologies. My apologies. I mean, it does depend where, because obviously Mark's got the caves and all sorts, which depends how much we hear and from where. Well, I've got to say, you've got a lot of reverb or sound. There's a lot of trogla lights going. I'm there. I'm there. I'm there. I've shouted it out. It's as best as what I can do. It's up to perception checks, I assume, to decide. It's just that you said the line and then explained how you said the line.
00:36:10
Speaker
But nevertheless, I can still use my bonus action. So I'm going to go shoot a troglodyte, hopefully. Shoot a troglodyte? Yes. A bit of bonus action can use my cannon.
00:36:23
Speaker
Ah, yes. I rolled a 10. Which one are you shooting at, BT Dubs? Probably the one directly in front of Marota at the moment. The closest one to you as well. Okay, 10 misses.
00:36:43
Speaker
No! Fair enough. All right, nice though. So we've got that echoing out over the canyons, but you also have the very useful old Gale on your back. Now the question is, do you perceive this whilst you're in the mind of her hoot? Well, the intention was always, now that he's in this room, because it takes an action to maintain seeing through the senses, was to snap out of it and probably say,
00:37:12
Speaker
Lots of targets on the left hand. Oh, what the fuck's going on here? And he's going to get his eyes rolling back up into his mind one more time into a hoot and a hoot is going to come charging in our direction now. But instead of doing a dash to get to us.
00:37:29
Speaker
who is going to release a tasty acid breath on the troglodyte between him and Nyx and then use the full 60 foot of movement to get to where old girl is now it's whether or not he'd know that he'd see Nyx there because old girl doesn't necessarily know exactly where he is actually I've just realized that I'm metagaming this a little bit
00:37:53
Speaker
Doesn't your familiar have a connection with you as long as it's within like a certain 150? Okay, in which case, if we're happy to roll it that way, then yeah, then that's what I'll do. It's a telepathic connection within a hundred things. Exactly. So you're fine. What we used to play with Neurom, Robin, so that's amazing. And it's in the Roblox as well, so yeah. Well, I'll take either option. If the DM will permit.
00:38:11
Speaker
if the DM will permit yeah so he's gonna he's gonna vomit over the top of the trogly doglodyte between itself and nyx is that way past is that a deck save or is that it is a deck save it's a deck save um deck 16 i got a four so okay it'll take the full damage which is 13 points of athlete it burns into a weird skeletal mess of
00:38:37
Speaker
green phlegms on the floor as it becomes goo. I like to think of it like Space Quest IV. Don't know if you ever played that old banger of a game. There was a part where you get shot by a beewa gun and you become goo on the floor. It's like that, but with a truck skull in the middle. Anyway, whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops. Over on the corner, whoosh, over on Nix's head, about 15 feet above his head.
00:38:58
Speaker
I grab a who's feet and get taken away straight to old girl. Yep. Awesome. Let's go. That's exactly right. That's what you see this mix. You've seen this before, uh, outside the goblin castle, the same thing, still acid. Um, but the guy in front of you that you've just kind of blasted now just is dissolved and who flies over your head, little bits of acid dripping from it heading towards us. And it makes its full 60 feet there, which I've already moved on the roll. Still counts as Michael assist.
00:39:28
Speaker
Thanks very much. Okay, Marota, you are currently surrounded by three and the fourth one is looking to block off your retreat to the east, to the west, sorry. What would you want to do? Okay, so I'm split here because in order to use my ability, agile parry, I need to make an attack this round, but also I want to dodge to get them to stop hurting me, but I don't want to spend key points because, you know, we also have a roper to deal with.
00:39:58
Speaker
at some point. So I'm going to be brave, and I'm going to... I'm going to be quite offensive. I think the person who I started harming, the troglodyte that I started harming, I'm going to use my Wippotak on them to begin with. Nips, 13.
00:40:23
Speaker
We don't say nips. Nips. Nips. Drell. So close to Nick's. Nips, Drell. I thought for one second you were trying to bring the PG rating down on this podcast. I've definitely dropped CB. Fuck that bullshit.
00:40:41
Speaker
Six to hit on the... The struggle is already taken damage yet. Sorry, six damage. You whip it round the neck and snap the neck or crush the windpipe or something. Anyway, it falls, crumbles to the floor. Dead. You are now two in combat range with you. One that's trying to loop around the corner as well. Nice. Okay. Well, I am satisfied.
00:41:10
Speaker
Yeah, I'm good. And that's my turn because if I do anything else, I need to spend keypoint and I don't want to do that yet. That's me. Climb on.
00:41:17
Speaker
So, having seen the Trogl of Light to my left explode from Nyx's Lightning Gauntlet attack, N1 will swing with his hammer, and as he does, he will step to the right, because he's going to try and do something really cool and force the Trogl of Light down into where he was, so the spirit-wrapping can also come around and attack. And I'm going to hit with my hammer, but I won't hit, because that's an 11 to hit. Me to beat. Oh, that's fantastic. I was one-off, bastard.
00:41:46
Speaker
Oh, that does seven points of bludgeoning damage. Bosh. Nice. Takes a good chunk out of this bad boy. And then as he does that, because the force of the blow strikes the troglodyte in its back, and as it arches its back, it stumbles forward into the space that Enron just was. A bit more to its... Yeah, thank you. And then with my bonus action, I'm going to have my spiritual weapon come around the corner and slap the troglodyte. Roll the hit. Thanks.
00:42:17
Speaker
You're always so workable, whatever you want. Anytime. Anytime now. That's another 11 to hit. That hits. That takes four points of force damage from my spiritual hammer. Slice his throat! And grab his scrote. He's dead. The space is clear from your perspective. Fantastic. I will then use...
00:42:46
Speaker
20 feet of my movement to move up where I can see next to my right. And he will, everyone will look over towards rain, towards next and go, we need to get the fork back together. And that's the end of my turn.
00:42:59
Speaker
Okay, thank you very much, Clemron. What drugs? That's a rom-com featuring M-ron, that is. We need to get the fork back together. Coming to you this Christmas. Starring Hugh Grant. Ah, it's M-ron. No, it'd be that dude from A Knight's Tale.
00:43:25
Speaker
Mark who's probably Baratheon. Ah, strong, strong shout. Yes. Uh, the drugs turn. Rotate. You see the, uh, the break in the cavern wall, but in front of you into your right kind of heading towards the south one of which you have come up upon before, which leads to the lakes and number of trouble that starts to emerge and they rush around the corner quickly.
00:43:56
Speaker
off into the darkness where you can't see, but you continue to hear the clicking, grinding sounds of the troglodytes to the south. To the north, behind you, old girl, and Alpha, again, a similar train of these troglodytes start to pour forth.
00:44:12
Speaker
The ones the nearest to you, Marotta, are going to attack two of which are going to attack you, the third of which is going to rush. Sentinel. It's going nowhere. It's not in combat range with you. It's the one that's in... It is. I've got a whip. Ten feet. Okay. It's going nowhere. So if I hit, it's immobilized. And you still do get to do damage to it as well, don't you? And I've crit.
00:44:39
Speaker
Okay. Eight damage to the one that's trying to get away and its speed is zero. Nice. Very nice. It stops and it can't reach you because, or in general now, because like you said, the speed is zero. The other two are going to swing at you though. The first one is going to go for an eight, 13 to hit. Miss. And then 14 to hit. Hit.
00:45:00
Speaker
You're going to take. No, no, no. Got a job. Parry. It misses. Okay. Misses. Uh, okay. That's fine. Don't need to worry about that.
00:45:10
Speaker
From the perspective of Emron, Rains, and Nyx, the sound of the troglodytes comes directly now only from One Direction to the east, always to the east. From Rains that come from the east, even though your alleyways seem somewhat disheveled, from Rains and Nyx it very clearly comes from the route that which Ahut has flown to the east. O'Gell and
00:45:34
Speaker
Alpha the noise comes from all around Obviously you can see them coming behind you and in front of you It's it's it's a bit of a clusterfuck situation here in this second larger cavern. We are heading to the top of the round Nick's What sorry mark just before you do that There is still one hidden around the top of the bones on our side of the map I don't know if that's a legacy one that shouldn't be there, but there is still one hidden around the top side of the bones top side of the bones and
00:46:03
Speaker
No, I can't see one there. He's on your boner. Oh, I did not even see that one. Ignore it. Okay. Just thought I'd point out there was one there. Thank you. No, I didn't mean for there to be a fourth one there. So, um, it wasn't supposed to be there. So he's gone. It joins the ranks somewhere else. As he goes off the map, Nick's kind of holds out his finger guns and goes, pew. There's a sense of dread as.
00:46:33
Speaker
a hoot whizzes past Nix's head, at the same time the deafening noise of all these troglodytes clearly converging in on one area and having
00:46:53
Speaker
Alpha, say, Marota could do with some trouble. Nix is a blue Tiefling, but he goes paler blue, if you could see his face, as he realizes he's seen or heard from everyone, but not Marota. And he puts two and two together, and he fucking dashes as hard as he can to the sound of these chocolate eyes, which takes him
00:47:23
Speaker
to the mouth of the cave. He's still got 15 feet to go and that's when I assume he sees them all kind of converging in from every part of what seems to be a very open area with different spider lanes and in the middle I assume is where they're going to head for. Am I right? Am I right with what I'm saying? You're muted so I assume that I'm going to say yes.
00:47:52
Speaker
Is this how we farm XP? We're just going to kill Troglodyte. It's like, you know, killing boars in World of Warcraft. We're going to kill Troglodytes to farm XP. I don't think you'd survive it. I'm still kind of thinking this is like the Agent Smith battle from the second Matrix film right now. Just Troglodytes coming in from everywhere. And you've got Marota there as the wand whooping arse. Or Goblins when there's been a fellowship of running through the mines of Moria. Well, ring on the bell, Rob.
00:48:20
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Oh, the Roper in our case. Still that dumb, stumps the deep. Uh, shit. Like Nick's is looking left, seeing a crowd of them running in, looks right. There's a crowd of them looking in. His eyes are desperately searching for a rotor as he swings around and sees her dealing with three on her own. He's going to, uh, it's going to run past alpha. Sorry, alpha.
00:48:48
Speaker
No, you apologize. Make his way down to Marota. He's at max movement and dashed. I think that's everything I can do. You can cast a bonus action.
00:49:01
Speaker
I am not that good with my character yet to know and D&D Beyond tells me no. So instead, Nix is going to rip out his kind of Patreon book and he's just kind of flicking through pages trying to find something that works and that's the end of my go.
00:49:23
Speaker
Okay, thank you very much. Raines, over to you. You've just seen, well, you've just cleared this area now and you can hear this noise is coming from elsewhere. What do you want to do?
00:49:33
Speaker
Okay, Rains will remember where he last saw Marota and he's going to go back on himself down towards the cavern. Thinking about getting back together, thinking about finding Alpha, he's going to head back into a point of just being able to find his bearings rather than taking off down the labyrinths of corridors that he can see in front of him.
00:49:58
Speaker
So, Reigns will come back down into the open corridor directly away from Marota, won't see Marota, but will catch just sight of the troglodytes that are starting to come from that direction. And we'll just go, oh, fuck. And what Reigns will do is he's going to shoot at the one that Marota has just steadied with her whip, because that's the only one he's got the line of sight on. Gotcha. I know the one you mean. Yeah, yeah.
00:50:25
Speaker
So Rains will take a shot at that very nasty troglodyte, please. All right, what a hit, please. Come on, big damage. That's a 16 to hit. That hits. I will just roll this, because I know that one's taken damage. And if I kill it, I won't add the additional d6, just because what a good point. To take six points of damage, I'll roll the additional d6 anyway. It doesn't really
00:50:56
Speaker
Overall, just for gigs. It takes eight points of damage total, the one that's been whip-stopped. Good thing you did, because it had exactly eight hit points. And again, this creature is thrown back into the ones that are careening in from the southern entrance, knocks one of them slightly back, and this corpse slams against the wall, again, smitten from this realm of existence. Anything else you want to do, Rains?
00:51:21
Speaker
Nope, that's all I got. We'll say to NC, get back in the bag of holding and get that specialty brewing. Alpha, over to you. Now, Nick's just run ahead of you. You've just entered into the mouth of the lion. What do you want to do?
00:51:36
Speaker
quick turnaround and Alford's very aware that he's still got old Gell on his back. So I'm going to move as much movement as I can do kind of to the east of the map. Just from a quick cursory glance, does it look like I might be able to fit down there? Well, the alleyway. The little alleyway that seems tight, but I'm just checking. Yes, it is small enough for you to fit through. Wide enough for you to fit through, I mean.
00:52:07
Speaker
Okay, I will start heading that way. I'm going to use my quick bonus action to fire another shot from my cannon to one of the chocolate arts that Marotta is currently battling. That's for a 23 to hit. That hits. Whoo-hoo! That's doing some good damage. Nope, six points of force damage.
00:52:33
Speaker
Six is good. Six is useful. Is it the one that's closest to you again? The one you got better line of sight on? Yeah, that one that I have better line of sight on. If it matters, it does get pushed five feet away from me. So we kind of just go through. As I still have my action to use, I'm going to use my dash just to give myself some extra movement and I'm backing into
00:53:00
Speaker
like this little narrow corridor as much as what I can do. Just yelling out, Christ, what would I yell out? I have no idea. I want to inform people that I'm going this way. I'm going this way. I believe there's an unoccupied crevice down here.
00:53:23
Speaker
as I'm going to back into the crowd. What are you fucking now? Not the first time Alpha said that. Uh, any robo dick, any unoccupied prisons is also, is good. Um, so yeah. Is that your, is that Alpha's way of saying any holds a goal?
00:53:39
Speaker
Any unoccupied crevice. As you go through the crevice, you find a roper. No, I find another one. You find more troglodytes. It splits to the north and to the east. How far down are you going? Because you've just moved old girl and not alpha, so I'm sure. Oh, sorry. Yeah. In all fairness, I'll probably keep going until I see it. So what's that about there? No, you move back. Move back five feet because to the north as well, there's a line. Ah, shit. At which point I would just yell out, never mind.
00:54:10
Speaker
You still got some of your dash, so you could... Yeah, I don't think I've used that. I've got that. I'll probably just come back into the... I'll use it to come back out of the crevice again. I think you sort of know though, Callum, that you made a wrong decision. I've made a very wrong decision there. I didn't think there was any around, but no.
00:54:28
Speaker
You still want an XP farm, Will? You still want an XP farm? This is how we die by a swarm of troglodytes. This is where we fight. Alpha, you're done. Oh, Gary, you've just been walked into a crevice and then quickly walked back out of it again. You've got the first time old girl's been taken into a crevice. Who's been careening down towards you in this larger space now? Bring in the big guns. Let's see what's going to happen. Indeed. Well, for his action, all girls are going to drop the kind of
00:54:57
Speaker
sense, the walk sense through a hoot and open his eyes and see that Alpha is running kind of into them and effectively just going to shout, Goblin Daddy, you're trying to get us killed. Turn the fuck around, boy. And he's even going to try and clamber off Alpha, but he's attached by the rope. So I'm going to run with the rope attachment. Only the 10 feet that I can. I think it was about 10 feet from the rope, kind of to the north.
00:55:26
Speaker
and I'll also shout out back to the bones and he will raise his star high in the air and just like Gandalf Eights outside Minas Tirith with the Nazgul he's going to cast color spray which effectively is a 15 foot cone that
00:55:47
Speaker
anyone within the 15 feet, I can roll 6d10 and basically blind creatures with a maximum kind of hit point added up. I explained that really badly. I've just rolled 6d10, it says 32, so I can affect whatever the max health is of the first creature, then the hit points roll over to the next one. And I blind as many as the points will allow. I'm hoping to blind the Troggos from the North coming in.
00:56:16
Speaker
And I mean, I don't think I'd try and get back and climb up on Alpha, which is stupid because he's got less movement speed, but he's been sent down the fucking river into the into Trogg city. So that's what he's going to do with his action. All right. You notice the first two Troggs reach up to their faces and kind of cover their eyes and scream this glottal kind of clicking sound. The one behind it manages to shield. So third one back manages to shield its eyes just in time. You notice that as you cast color spray as well.
00:56:45
Speaker
amazing that's that's my action it's not a concentration based spell uh and what he'll do is you'll just let off a really sharp whistle to a hoot and kind of nod his head to the side and then straight after him or his turn is that that's the end of his turn a hoot is going to come careening in um i think i've kind of i'll load my head to the south so i'll get a hoot let's just see five ten fifteen twenty twenty five thirty thirty
00:57:14
Speaker
five right into the mouth of the Troggos coming in from the southeast. So the ones away from Marota and I'll let forth another acid breath from all basically that's kind of what he'd communicate to a hoot to do. So I need another deck save whoever's 15 feet from his mouth from that point.
00:57:34
Speaker
The first one got a 14. Fails. The next one got a 10. Fails. Is it 15 feet or 10 feet? It's a 15 foot cone, so. Yeah, would reach that third one. Ah, that is a four.
00:57:47
Speaker
Yep, all fail. They all take nine points of acid damage. Who also has the flyby kind of feature because he's an owl. So he won't provoke opportunity attacks and I'll use the remaining movement speed for him to about turn and make his way back towards the tunnel that we originally came into the room from. So it will get to about
00:58:05
Speaker
where Nyx is on its return journey and that's my go. Awesome, thank you very much. Oh, Gil, Marota, you've just seen all hell break loose, the party now piling into the space to help stem the tide of these troglodytes as they pour into the space since they're somewhat weird
00:58:27
Speaker
leader or guardian on ship or something, I don't know, whatever it was, fell into the lava before. You've got two against you now in actual melee range. Nyx is frantically searching through his book. You've just seen a hood vomit acid over the ones to the south. Old girl firing sprays to the north. It's all chaos around you. What do you like to do?
00:58:51
Speaker
Yeah, Marota. Sorry, that's a very long, a long sentence to get to. Marota, what do you want to do? So, um, Marota is just taking in the surroundings for a moment. And I'm going to use the disengage action and step back to where
00:59:22
Speaker
Use most of my movement, and then I'm going to... I'm going to find my carry Nix. I'm coming to save you! I'm going to find my carry Nix. And then, if you're willing, Nix. Yeah. Cool. Then I'm going to use Step of the Wind to dash with Nix on me.
00:59:52
Speaker
To give myself, I'm just marking that key point spent. Uh, and I'm going to take Nick's the remaining 20 plus 40, 60 feet. So wow. Are you heading back towards Emerald where he currently is? Yes. Uh, I'm going to just counting that.
01:00:22
Speaker
Back into the space near the bones. Back into the space with Nyx and then, yeah, if you allow it as a free action, I'm just gonna let go. Flop. Yeah, why not? Cool. Lovely. Thank you very much. Clemron, you've just seen a rather knackered and bloodied Marota carrying a rather uninjured Nyx into the space and plopping him down just ahead of you. What do you want to do? And all I know is that Alpha's potentially gone
01:00:52
Speaker
That way as well, right. So, everyone's going to have to dash the way Maro just come from to try and find out what's going on. He's going to get to pass the torch, he's going to weave and dodge, get past the torch that's sort of at the T junction, look ahead into the circle and see old girl and then alpha the other side. And he can see these, these chocolate lights to his left. You can probably hear more to the right.
01:01:20
Speaker
See others behind in the very small crevasse that or crevice that alpha tried to squeeze himself into And he's gonna side to himself and be like
01:01:35
Speaker
Rally up alpha, we need to get out of here. And because I've used my action, I'm actually gonna use your bonus action. I'm gonna recast spiritual weapon because it is more efficient to do so than to get it to move. So my spiritual weapon will disappear from when it is near rain, well, near nobody, so that doesn't matter. And will reappear in front of the troglodytes that old girl decided to color spray on.
01:02:04
Speaker
And it will then hit the first one. Now the creature has the condition blinded. I don't know if that's why I'm advantage. Come on, crit. Criddly crit. Criddly, griddly, criddly crit. Filling the silence as we wait for the dice to hit. And that'll be a 23 to hit. That hiddly hits.
01:02:30
Speaker
And then that's five points of force damage on that first Troggalite. Bonk. You're bonking on the schnoz. It does not appreciate it. It tells you that. Anything else you want to do, Glamron? That would be the end of my go. All right. The one that just got bonked by you is going to wildly swing at what it assumes is a person that struck at it. You can't tell. It's going to roll with this. Is that disadvantage for blinded?
01:02:56
Speaker
And attack rolls? Yes. I thought so. Which is good, because that was really good. This is a... What is that? Plus five... Okay, so nine to hit. It hits, but as it's a spiritual weapon and spectral, the Troglodyte's weapon goes straight through it. Oh, cool. Well, there you go. You can't physically hit a spiritual weapon, because it's a spectral form, so the Troglodyte's weapon would have just gone straight through it. Troglodyte ain't knowing any better, is it?
01:03:24
Speaker
Everything else is moving up towards you all. The troggs, the acid troggs are gonna push up. The troggs that were in contact with Marota are gonna push to the north as well. More troggs pour in from the south-easterly entrance. The trogglodytes that were in the crevasse, crevasse, crevasse are gonna get one, oh no.
01:03:52
Speaker
blocks up the crevice gap there, but they are pouring in. I'm not going to move more because... So in your funk. All up in your biz, but luckily that first one that moves is kind of blocked the others from moving much further. That was bad project management by the Troggos. They obviously do not have a good leader there. The one that's blinded at front is going to stay there, but the one behind it is going to try and slam into its back and kind of wander, trying to pass through into the wall and kind of try and move around. The one behind it,
01:04:22
Speaker
However, has not been affected by the blindness and is going to kind of squeeze past its comrade and aim to hit old Gell and is going to roll an eight. No, fortunately not. Well, balls all over my face. That is all they can do currently because no one else is quite in range. To give you a picture of this, it's very much a
01:04:52
Speaker
next turn decides the fate of all gell alpha and possibly m ron though i think will would say i could hold this for days the nature of 19 i probably could i think just then this the action action economy would would overwhelm you eventually but anyway um what a time bro surrounding
01:05:11
Speaker
Another one, they'll come through. Anyway, fuck you. Surrounding old Galen Alpha, it's really up to this turn to decide what happens. So here we go, top of the round. Next, you've just been ceremoniously, unceremoniously dumped on the floor by a very bloodied Marota. What do you want to do, everyone? You can't say and drop that word bomb that you just did after I've been fired and carried out of the fight.
01:05:33
Speaker
and moved further away from it. And then you're like, we got one more turn. I'm like, holy shit, guys, where's the nuke option? That was me telling you guys, not me. You know, Nick's didn't hear that. I know. But that's to give us that makes it hardcore. Right. Okay. So after being dumped on the ground, Nick's is kind of looking around for an escape route and
01:06:02
Speaker
I can't remember which way we came. So he looks towards the pile of bones and he sees to the left of the pile of bones is a narrow entrance. And he's just thinking if we can filter these fucking troglodytes into one single file, we might stand a better chance. So he's going to run over to the corner of the entrance. So he's not blocking it.
01:06:29
Speaker
And he's going to put one hand out on the wall and hold it there. And the other hand is going to trace a V across his Adam's apple as I cast Thermatology and make my voice boom three times louder.
01:06:44
Speaker
And Nix is going to be like, everyone, get to the Hall of Bones and come find us. We can get them into a single file and give ourselves an escape route. And that's it. That's the end of my go. OK, very nice. Thank you very much. So everyone would have heard this. The voice would have bounced across everything three times as loud. And yeah, my voice booms. Very nice. Thank you. Range, you hear that voice echo and boom through the space as you see more trouble that it's
01:07:14
Speaker
Yeah, I think you might have seen them pouring in from what you assume is an entrance to a larger cavernous space. What do you want to do? Yeah, what Raines has seen is just he's not seen Marota, but he's seen they were gathering around something and whatever that is, is gone because the troglodytes that were gathering have just started to sprint northwards towards he knows not what. And then the next thing that he's heard is the famiturged voice of Nyx about getting back and holding a room.
01:07:42
Speaker
the Rubik's Cube is going to flash and from the bag of holding the little green light is going to appear which means NC have a message and it's going to say I do believe that is Nix's third good idea and Raines would go yep I believe that too you don't have to tell him and what Raines is going to do is turn and sprint back towards the bone room and he's going to use the dash action and he's just going to go to where the voice was Nix and goes
01:08:09
Speaker
Best plan I've heard yet, Nix. And that will be the end of Reigns' turn. Fabulous. Thank you very much. So we've got Nix and Reigns currently at that left kind of western entrance that we haven't gone down yet. No creatures soon to be coming through. Alpha, your turn. Again, you hear this voice booming over the clackling, crunching sound of these troglodytes. A booming voice of Nix, an unsure voice of Nix echoing through the space. What do you want to do?
01:08:39
Speaker
Firstly, bonus action, the Troglodyte that took a swipe at old Gel, my cannon's gonna attempt to push fire a bit of force damage at him. Okay, we'll hit. 24 to hit. That hits. Six points of force damage, and he gets pushed back five feet as well. How does that interact with other creatures near it? Does it go through them, or does it say in an occupied space, or what?
01:09:09
Speaker
My hammer movement says it has to move into an unoccupied space. It's not like I can move it into somebody else. Otherwise it would affect the creature behind it. It just says on a hit the target take 2d8 force damage and if the target is a creature it is pushed up to five feet away from the cannon. That's literally all it says. So I'd say DMs are all you can either just have it smack into another target or die. What's the gun? Force Ballista.
01:09:37
Speaker
Whilst Will's doing that, I will let him have a look. Unless Will overpowers a rules consultant, overpowers it. What I'm going to say is that because it would smack into a wall slash another creature, I'm just going to slap on another two points of damage.
01:09:53
Speaker
as instead of moving about, like it's had smacks. Yeah, exactly. I don't want to open and get you to roll like another DA or some show that because I've got the book in front of me and it does say it gets pushed five feet away. Yeah, it does. Yeah, but it's whether it becomes what happens if what happens if it's occupied.
01:10:11
Speaker
Well, I think it doesn't say because because of the because the intensity of where we're at the moment and we'll have a look if you do find anything I think the general ruling is that if it's occupied it moves into it if it doesn't it's mapped into it There's not necessarily any damage that happened. I've changed it. There's some damage. Let's go on I want to see if you all die or not, right? Thank you very much for that alpha the rest of your turn. You've got your action. You've got your reaction. You've got movement
01:10:36
Speaker
Yep, my movement, I am going to be sprinting towards Emron, who's in the only safe gap that I've got, but I'm going to, as an action, attempt to grab Old Gale as I'm running past. You are also attached by a rope, so... Exactly, I'm not going to get very far, otherwise I'm going to be dragging him, so I kind of want to try and scoop up Old Gale and just kind of shuck him over my shoulder.
01:10:59
Speaker
So it's like I'm going in for a rugby tackle kind of movement, much like my rodents done, but instead of taking them to the ground, I'm taking them in the air and trying to fling them over my shoulder. I didn't get Danny using action for the tackle, did I? Yeah, you didn't. No, this is a good point, so I'm going to have to rely. Okay, fine. Yeah, you get yourself, and it depends if Old Gal is willing. Don't touch me, boy. Get you off me. Bring Goblin Daddy to me. Goblin Daddy's grabbing you, baby.
01:11:30
Speaker
So he gets a dash now rather than just move normally. Yeah, thank God. So yeah, I've got old girl. I'm going to use my action and move the rest of the 30 feet as well. Sorry, Will, but just straight that past you. You just sleep yourself. Yes, I do. I do sense myself.
01:11:51
Speaker
Okay. Uh, lovely. Thank you very much for that. Then alpha. Oh girl. You've just been whisked off your feet by a lovely goblin daddy. What, uh, you find yourself now kind of maybe in range of one or two past everyone. If you had a lucky shot, uh, what do you want to do?
01:12:08
Speaker
Now that I'm being taken where I want to go, I'm going to hold my action to dismiss a hoot. Send him into the pocket dimension. That's the action I'd like to hold. Oh wait, does it take? No, I don't have to concentrate on an action like that, do I?
01:12:26
Speaker
I don't need to concentrate on dismissing a familiar, or do I? No, it's not a spell, it's like a free action action. Okay, and what I'll do is I'll dismiss a hoot only when
01:12:43
Speaker
Emron is clear of the entranceway and running back in our direction or past us. So that will be that kind of command held. And what I'm going to do for a Hoot is once more kind of, I'm trying to work out where would be the best place for this, probably the ones that are nearest. I'll have a Hoot kind of circle down, spiraling down in the sky to get to the side of one of these Chocolatites that's kind of to the south that looks closest-ish.
01:13:13
Speaker
to everyone because i know that the two to the north are blinded or they might not be blinded after this time i'm not sure but the ones the south aren't so i'm just going to do one last belch of acid on them so i need another deck save for the two of them 14 fail and 15 fail both take 10 points of acid and i'll have a hoot kind of
01:13:36
Speaker
fly back towards Emron after that and just kind of perch on the floor facing out towards the troglodyte. So Emron would have seen this kind of more belching of acid down straight back, back towards Emron facing it and just stopping still. And that's going to be my action. Lovely. Both those troglodytes, both those troglodytes have been destroyed by the acid as well. And for this little puddles of acid on the floor.
01:14:04
Speaker
Thank you very much for that. You're tallying up your kill count, Will. Very nice. Morota, your turn. You just heard this Tharmaturgy voice scream out after putting them down.
Exploration and Discoveries
01:14:16
Speaker
You're panting. You are out of breath. You are bleeding. What do you want to do? Seeing Nick converge on that, Nick's and Rain's converge on that alleyway.
01:14:30
Speaker
okay, that's the right way of describing it, the route to the southwest out of this room. I'm just gonna use all my movement to go to the route out of the northwest and just have a look, please, down that corridor. The northwest? Yeah. Yes, of course. Let me just bring up the ability to reveal areas
01:14:58
Speaker
God, it's all going wrong now. Okay, through that you see a smaller, more intricate levels of cave tendrils almost. Most of them seem to peter out into spaces that seem too narrow to pass through. Okay, I'll use my actions dash then and I'll move myself into that space. Okay.
01:15:20
Speaker
then again, just look a bit more down each of those corridors. Yeah, each of them end in dead ends. There's nothing in there, save the remnants of what could be described as sleeping areas for some of the struggle that's perhaps. Okay, then I think I have 15-foot movements. I've just come back into the bony room and that's my turn. Lovely, thank you very much for that. Morota, Clemron, your turn.
01:15:46
Speaker
You're blocking the doorway, a hoot's just cleaning house at the moment, but they continue to pour forth. What would you like to do? On the map, there's a little lava hole that's a vent in the map. Is that there actually in the game? Yeah. I have this crazy idea, and hear me out, DM, first. I can create water.
01:16:10
Speaker
What I want to do is create water over that vent and create a very large area of boiling steam that fills that room, that is scolding that room. I create 10 gallons of water over that point and then get super heated by the lava.
01:16:31
Speaker
And yeah, start to fill that room with scalding steam and then we go back away to do it. An immense hiss and a bubbling silence followed by boiling and then more hissing erupts forth from this small, almost unnoticeable vent of lava under the ground of this larger area of the cavern.
01:16:52
Speaker
and it does start to bubble at first and then just pour out like a geezer mist and smoke and steam and black fog then then just thick thick white condensed water as it pours out into the space filling it blocking almost all view of this larger cavern space
01:17:10
Speaker
for you and because of that I'm going to firstly if you haven't already got it give yourself inspiration that was clever thinking very very nice Will but also I'm going to then hide the area from you because it is so thickly enshrouded now we are unable to see through it all bar a hoot pretty much
01:17:32
Speaker
I'm going to be, but my spirit trap has come back with me as well. Yeah. Who would disappear? Who would be action, like the reaction to pop them into the pocket dimension? So, everyone's let you then back to 25 feet to the next point, just in front of Alpha and old Gal where it narrows so he can just keep controlling any potential flow that follows after that. Oops. Yeah, no problem. And then, yeah, that's it. And he'll turn over to Sean and go, keep going, get to the others.
01:18:00
Speaker
Gets all the chopper. Very nice. Awesome. Thank you very much. Well, that's a fucking great move and good, good eyes on the, on the mountain. Thank you very much for don't don't you like me for making a program that feels so many interesting little elements that I can add to it. Thank you very much for that. Uh, that's the end of the turn. The chocolate lights turn. That's the end of the chocolate lights turn.
01:18:20
Speaker
I'm not telling you, because we can't see any of them. Who knows? But the noise of the steam slowly fades, Emron and Elgale, and the clicking, clacking, grunting, grinding noise of the Troglodytes sounds, if at possible, more vicious, more intense, all coming from that. Wow, we pissed you off.
01:18:42
Speaker
Nicks, top of the round, thaumaturge voice standing face to face with Reigns, either side of a rather thin five foot alleyway to the east, west. No one has been down yet. What do you want to do? Just flustrated that no one's listening, other than Reigns, big up. We are listening, we're just doing it our own way. I know how it feels. I am getting there, it is slowly.
01:19:10
Speaker
What are you going to do? Nothing, because nothing's happened around me. You could go down, you could be the first, be the leader, step up to the plate. That's how almost like, no, because I started this entire episode doing that and we all got split and shit happened. So Nix is just...
01:19:32
Speaker
Wait and he sees reigns, he's clocked one. He saw Marota fuck off somewhere and he sees in the distance, like some sort of kind of missed thing and he sees people coming. He's going to hold. There's nothing I can do. Um, I have a, an action, but I think what, what everyone's so already brilliantly done kind of makes mine just pointless. So I'm just fucking, I'm waiting.
01:19:59
Speaker
I'm just like, like nothing's happened in this six seconds. I'm just like, Hey, I've just told everyone and Nick's is just counting. He's just looking at waiting for people. Okay. No problem. That's it. That's all I can do. There's nothing I can do. Yeah, no problem. Okay. Raines over to you. Same thing. Yeah. Raines will glance around as if like, what the fuck is everyone? And we'll just shut out. Why is Nick's the only one showing any mother come a common sense right now?
01:20:26
Speaker
And then what Reigns is going to do is he's going to glance down this. Do we even know if it's safe? And Reigns is just going to turn and just take a little dash down that alleyway to see what he sees. Okay. And as you head down the alleyway, it very quickly peels off into roll 20's crashed.
01:20:47
Speaker
I can't show you, but nothing else. It's a loading screen apparently. It very slowly peels off into a very thin single file, five foot, very similar to the others actually, five foot kind of passageway. Very quickly then kind of
01:21:02
Speaker
splits into two slightly different places. I'm killing time while I open up. Firstly, there's a troglo there. Hooray, one, only one though. There's a passage to the south that seems to peter off into just a dead end. Most interesting enough to the straight ahead, 15 foot wide, the tunnel veers down into darkness.
01:21:30
Speaker
but into silence as well. You say for this one Troggo that goes, click clack. Okay, so Rains has only taken his movement to get to that point. He'll see the Troggo and just fire a lightning launcher at it. Lightning bolt fire, go ahead. I mean, you did say you'd use your accent to dash, but you know, I'm not nitpicking.
01:21:51
Speaker
They say Nick's picking. Did you do a version of your own voice? I actually did my correction voice, it's like this. Sounds very similar to your normal voice over me. Fuck off. I'm pretty sure, you started the episode by going... Actually, Mark, I'd held my turn. I believe I did. I went, actually, Mark, I believe I moved my... That's my anorak voice. I've got an anorak on. I like watching trains.
01:22:19
Speaker
Anyway, to anyone who likes watching trains, you listen to the podcast. Put off or alienated by Will, we'll fire him soon. Right, what'd you get, Will? Darren? Rains. 10 points of lightning damage. It was a 21 to hit for 10 points of lightning damage. Oh, man. In a single shot. Slammed against the wall again and murdered. And behind the truck light, you see the children. It was trying to conceal an eye. No, no, no, no.
01:22:49
Speaker
I peaked with Foley and the orphanage in season one, but let's not talk about that. Anyway, it's more important now, I'll be going to make it out before these drug goes close in on us. And to check in on that, let's quickly slam into Alpha. Reigns is just starting with this speech on his turn. He's just going to turn while he's still in what he would be seeing, be voice of Nixon. He's just going to shout back, we've got a way this way, there's a way out, or there is a way somewhere this way, which is better than going back the way we came from.
01:23:38
Speaker
That's the end of BiGo.
01:23:38
Speaker
I like to think it's a little bit like, if anyone's seen the scene from Only Fools and Horses, it's just like Batman running through the steam at this point. It's like really, really corny old-school thing. I am just making a break for it all the way. I see Nix right at the end. I've heard Nix shout out, so I'm using all my movement, all my action. I'm moving 50, 60 feet over towards Nix.
01:24:03
Speaker
Still looking old girl over my shoulder. Very nice, very nice, very nice. I'll go, you're being lugged. Anything you want to do? I'll use my action to resummon a hoot, but I'll resummon it on top of Alpha's head. Very nice. I'll be like, good job, girl. You keep running, metal boy. Yeah, keep going. Lovely. Morota, your space to the north is clear and you've moved back into the bone room. Anything else you want to do?
01:24:29
Speaker
I will heed the instruction and I will dash and I will get to the aforementioned uh... Mouth? Mouth, yeah. It's your kingly voice, Raines. That's what it is. I like to imagine that Marota goes to that point and then little Mecha comes on screen saying, you can't leave the area until all your party's with you. Yeah, 100%. No, you totally can. If you could move more, I'd tell you what you're saying. Yep. Lovely, thank you very much. I think I can.
01:25:01
Speaker
Oh, you can? No. Yes, I can. I've still got a 20-foot movement, so I will enter that space. And you go down, down. It's a slow descent down, further down into silence. It's darkness. Though you've got dark vision, it doesn't really matter. Into mossy, peaty, cold, still air, wet, dripping, and you start to see further ahead, large, stalag
01:25:27
Speaker
It's fuck tights, stark tights coming out of the ground and a weird glowing, something going off in the distance. Tights at the top. Tights at the top. Tights then. Yeah. Like pillars, thick pillars coming up from the ground there. It seems to be a very large, vast open space up ahead. Emron, your turn is spiritual weapon of the only, you're at the vanguard here holding the rear and the front, if you will, of this assault. What do you want to do?
01:25:57
Speaker
I'm going to dash to catch up with Alpha and old girl. My spiritual weapon will move 20 feet behind me to fill the gap. And that is it. The tent to my left. What's it made of? Flesh.
01:26:18
Speaker
So I was thinking because I had this idea of grabbing what I thought was plenty of burnable material and then dragging it behind us into the hole and setting it on fire so they can't burn flesh. That doesn't burn as where you want it to burn. Sorry, Danny. It's prim. Flesh tent. It's fine. I've not got any... Okay, that'd go outdoors.
01:26:41
Speaker
Get on discount with your guards or cut. You replaced the word light, I assume. There's nothing else I can do. All right, brilliant. Thank you very much. Next, everyone's finally listened to you. To reigns. Yeah. To reigns. What do you want to do? I can do this in my movement. Yeah. Okay. So next is going to just get in here, guys, and head into the cave.
01:27:11
Speaker
The little alleyway, sorry, the little enclosed alleyway.
01:27:17
Speaker
He's going to move, just kind of slide past Ray Hinton and go, you do have a kingly presence about you, thank you. And look as he gets to the mouth of that area where Marota is just ahead, he's going to look with his dark vision all the way down south. So if Marota is off to the east or west, left or right, wherever we are in this cave, Nix is going to look down, down.
01:27:42
Speaker
And what is it? It just kind of peters out into a dead end. It's a dead end. Fucking brilliant. So Nix is then going to retrace his steps and comes next to Reigns and he's going to get on his knees and he's going to grab his Patreon book and put it on the floor in front of him. And he's going to ask Reigns, can you get everyone behind us? And that's the end of my go.
01:28:10
Speaker
Very nice. Have you got, but did you use your action at all? Was it all in the movement? You've got an action. You could hold an action. So if you want something to happen, I'm going to hold a spell. Okay. Do I have to tell you which spell? Yes. And what, no, you just do tell us what the trigger is. The trigger is everyone. Okay. So I'm holding the spell and the trigger is everyone is fucking moved past us. Okay. As in including familiars. Um,
01:28:40
Speaker
No, just every physical being has moved past us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're fair, fair, fair. Just every known presence to me has moved behind me. As soon as that is triggered, that's going to trigger my spell, which is aimed. I got you. I got, I think I know what you're going to do, but I don't want to wreck it. Thank you. I'm going to wreck it. What do you want to do? You've just had a next run past you and then mutter something and then run back and then say, get him behind us. What do you want to do?
01:29:07
Speaker
Alright, this is the kind of day where there's the best solution on the table. Get in here now if you're not in here, get in here now! And Reigns is just going to back up behind Nix as if so that I have no idea what's about to happen. But he's going to walk backwards keeping an eye on Nix and another expecting eye on just hoping that people are going to appear around that tunnel. Behind the tiefling, behind the tiefling!
01:29:35
Speaker
Alpha, your turn. You hear Rain saying that. What do you want to do? Yeah, I'm going to keep running down into the cavern. So I've got old Gail, something on my shoulder. I'm only going to use my 30 feet worth of movement. It should. Will I be able to get past? I think Darren's accidentally moved right next instead of Rain's. So I'll just switch him back for you. Sorry. I had a bit of extra movement anyway.
01:30:05
Speaker
Do you? Yeah, where I moved it before, I'd only moved it 25, so I had another five feet worth left. And he's moving 65 feet of movement, have you not realized? Yeah, I've been taking it slow, taking a bit easily. But yeah, I'm only going to use that. Is there any light down here? No.
01:30:25
Speaker
Okay, in that case I'm going to use an action to cast light on the coin thing that it just ran my neck because I don't have dark vision and I can't see. Yeah, thank you very much. Oh, Gal, your turn. Bing! A light emanates and you recognize the coin.
01:30:45
Speaker
All Gala's gonna, wait, what the fuck? He's gonna try and release himself from the shoulder of Alpha. He's gonna slump to the floor if he can, if Alpha will let him go.
01:31:00
Speaker
And he's going to start untying the rope around his waist. And you're just going to hear him muttering saying, fucking read that one wrong. Didn't I thought this boy was going to be useful. Fucking tried to get me killed. Piece of shit. And that's my guy. Who follows us in. Yeah. Lovely. Thank you very much. Which finally leads us round to Marota. Marota, what'd you have to do?
01:31:25
Speaker
I'm off this map. You are. So consider it within your mind, my good friend. I will like to proceed in the most obvious direction that comes to mind in the new location that I am in. Down, down, down. Towards the glowing stuff. And then if that's not enough after 40 feet of movement, I will dash another 40 feet towards the most obvious thing. I'm going to trigger the rope in the new space.
01:31:55
Speaker
I just need to find the next piece, next part of my document to describe a TPK. Here we go. The frying pan. That's all I can think. And into the fire.
01:32:13
Speaker
You enter a larger and deeper part of the cavern structure. The walls emanate and energy. The smell worsens, but it feels cooler. You hear a drip echo from somewhere to the southeast. This is silent now. It's suffocating, labyrinthine nature of the cavern tendrils abruptly end as the space opens up into one vast underground space. There is light coming from crystals dotted around the center of this area.
01:32:34
Speaker
Large seven foot stalagmites yearn up from the ground thick as trees and wet to touch gargantuan 20 foot tower thick stalactites hang from the roof of the cavern probably talking about 50 feet up to get the proper roof of this cavern
01:32:51
Speaker
There's a dampness in the air here. The dripping intensifies off from this large space and through the maze of stalagmites and multiple other entrances to this huge underground open space. And that with your dash gets you that far, probably. Okay. All right. Clemron. What are you doing?
01:33:19
Speaker
I'm going to caddy stroll towards the truck. No. I am going to follow my instructions. My spirit weapon will follow me. Not that it matters. It's probably going to disappear. I mean, I've still got like eight more turns with it. Do you move past Nix, yes or no? Yes. Thank you. Nix, do your thing. So as you guys have been moving past me, Nix has been frantically flicking through his book and as he's been doing so,
01:33:48
Speaker
He's been tracing a big circle in the dirt around him, and I would imagine, as you guys walk past me, you disturb the dirt. He's like, no, I don't know what I'm doing, really? Stay still, stay still! And he's getting panicky, and his hands are getting sweaty, and as everyone you've walked by, he puts both hands on the ground and closes his eyes, and then this purple energy kind of starts to effervesce from his hands, and it feeds up to the roof of this little
01:34:18
Speaker
kind of alcove that they're in, as he's going to cast the biggest spell he's ever cast in his life. And he doesn't know if it's going to work, but it's the only thing he can think of. He's going to cast Shatter at second level and direct it at the very top of the alleyway to hopefully crumble the stone and just kind of create this wall at the mouth of it. And as he lets loose the energy,
01:34:41
Speaker
He's got some dice to roll as he looks up, almost as if something possesses him for that moment. And he looks straight up to the sky and his black, pupa-less eyes are just this kind of wide flash of purple within him.
01:34:59
Speaker
Right, this is the damage. This is just a... Yeah, it's the AOE, isn't it? Just fucking shit. It's 3d8 and I get 10. It is an AOE attack as well. Lightning damage. Isn't it more effective against, like, Stone as well? Yes. It's a one of the spell. They have to take a saving throw. Nice. 10 foot radius sphere.
01:35:20
Speaker
You launch the spell up and there is this unbelievable crack of energy that just seems to everyone's ears, even Marotta, down in this new space. Your ears, you feel it bang and hit your ear and every one of you, especially Nix, has this intense ringing in your ears, kind of post explosion almost, and it fills your ears and you think for a second, your hearing is never going to
01:35:45
Speaker
write itself again it starts to slowly dissipate except for Nyx it stays with you for a bit longer as you stare up intently at where you've cast the spell hoping for something to change and nothing changes and then a crack splits
01:36:06
Speaker
moves further along, arcs through, a second crack appears from that one, a third crack appears from that, a small bit of rubble falls, a larger bit of rubble falls and suddenly you have this absolute avalanche of rocks falling down from the ceiling above as you've successfully filled almost to the absolute brim
01:36:23
Speaker
the entrance, the alleyway that you have come through, blocking it up deep, 15, 20 feet's worth of rubble, the whole central portion, central column of that space above where the troglodytes were, collapses down on itself, dust fires back in your faces, rocks pummel upon you, nicks not causing any damage, but just for effect.
01:36:46
Speaker
and then as the dust slowly starts to settle, there's a silence and you all listen for that noise, that clicking, that crunching, that sound that signified to you the troglodytes were coming, the troglodytes were coming and you do not hear it you release a breath you have a reprieve at least for now before whatever you face down, down, down in the depths of Dralak
01:37:15
Speaker
And that is where we're going to leave it for this week's episode of The Fellowship of the Tabletop. Fuck yeah, what a good set. How are we going to get out? That was going to be my next line. That was going to be my next line. Just like, I hope there's a way out of here. I guess we're going deeper then. I didn't know what else to do. It's the only thing I could think of. No, really, really cool idea because I mean, my next idea was to start smacking walls and starting to cave it in, but yeah.
01:37:40
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to try and fire it with force, but listen to try and do something shattered, it's fantastic. Because I'm still so new to this, I feel like me and Nick are kind of in the same area where he's flicking through his book and I'm flicking through my spells going, come on, there's got to be something here that works. The other one would have been things like, I think like mould earth, I think is another one you can do, isn't there? Yeah, I've got shape water, which just didn't work. Like that's it, I got a big booming voice.
01:38:07
Speaker
Oh, that's Chatter. That's a hell of a good move. Such a good spot. I love Chatter. Yeah. It's great. Good shit, guys. You managed to make it away from the drugs. It was looking a bit doubtful. Yeah, I just like the idea of it being like just these fucking snake runs and just these things just coming out of nowhere out of the darkness and it just being like really quiet. It's when we all crossed off the wind and it was just like, fuck.
01:38:29
Speaker
Yeah. Yes. That's great. That was brilliant.
