Introductions and Recap
00:00:18
Speaker
Welcome interstellar travelers landing on the wrong planet to another session of Stranded, our D and&D game in a weird world we've created. I am your dungeon master, Ron Bjork. And with me tonight is Bill.
00:00:36
Speaker
I'm finally here. Final here. ah Next up is Hayden. I've been here. And Jaden. um I've kind of been here too, but also I play Avalon Zephyr.
00:00:59
Speaker
a ah Frank. Hey, I was a second here, but the last introduced. Yep. Um, the last time we played, you guys set out to, uh, follow the tracks of some, what looked like bear tracks of some sort, uh, in hopes of finding whatever it is these predators prey upon. Um, because if it's enough for some bear things to eat, it's enough for you to eat.
00:01:33
Speaker
um You guys set up camp and were tracked were attacked by some carnivorous plants That for the most part have been dormant, but possibly the heat of your campfire woke this one up And yes, it it almost killed you guys ah So other than that though the night um went by peacefully. You guys did all get long rests. I do believe I've already reset all your character sheets and added your experience points to the character sheets. Yes, I'm doing experience points this time. Oh, boy. Math. first Yeah, there's your experience points. Yep. 132 and a half experience points. Geez. Not enough to level up, though.
00:02:29
Speaker
out I'll let y'all know when y'all. I think it's 300 experience to get to level two. um Yeah. So not quite halfway there.
Survival Challenges Begin
00:02:39
Speaker
ah So um the second day rolls around, and you guys all wake up. You all pack up camp, and Matthias gets you back on task following these tracks. ah Everybody, including the NPC, make survival checks again.
00:02:58
Speaker
and Bring up his sheet, there it is. Eight.
00:03:09
Speaker
Oh. Oh. Also four, double. um He said survival? Yes. What did he say? What was my guy's name again? Nigel Thornberry. No.
00:03:31
Speaker
Blake like light castle. on Yeah, i changed I changed my picture. I forgot about that. Yeah. You're like a person of like the old faith that somehow got on this ship. Survival. We are the people against plastic. Oh, I'm a Christian. OK, so we got. like so I want to dig good. I want to dig good.
00:04:00
Speaker
OK, so you guys ah move through the day. um And honestly, you don't seem to be making any progress at all. You're you're having trouble even following the tracks. Matthias, who did second best, is getting frustrated. The two of you, though, you and Matthias and Blake occasionally find the track. So you know you're going the right way, but it's taking way longer than it should.
00:04:30
Speaker
You feel like you this day has mostly been a waste. You've probably gone around in circles a couple of times, um and you may have even accidentally backtracked a little bit. um
00:04:45
Speaker
Basically, with zero to one successes, the players make no progress at all this day and actually lose a day. and spend a day's worth of rations because you spend a day worth of rations every day. You guys now have four days worth of rations left.
00:05:01
Speaker
um
00:05:05
Speaker
There is a certain threshold of days that if you reach that day, that means that you've caught up with the the things. Of course, the goal, you all don't know how many days that takes. And of course, the goal is to catch up with the guys before you run out of food.
00:05:20
Speaker
um So you guys do basically, you know, don't make any progress that
Debates on Campfire and Food
00:05:27
Speaker
day. um And night comes around. It is a lot colder tonight than it was the previous night. It's probably going to be uncomfortable if you don't make a campfire. However, the memory of nearly dying is still fresh in your minds from the night before. What do you guys want to do?
00:05:49
Speaker
I guess when you're like camping sleep, probably. Yeah. OK. Now, when you say uncomfortably cold, what is uncomfortably cold, like and in a degree? Well, you don't have thermometers. I'm asking God, what does it feel like? OK, so 50s. By uncomfortably cold, I mean that um without that, if you You guys do have sleeping bags or bed rules. I guess that comes to the blanket. You guys do have blankets, but definitely without a blanket, someone could be in danger. All right. Well, someone needs to find food because my hands sometimes light on fire. So I might be able to do that. You guys do have, you guys were, well, you had five days of food left. You've eaten. Well, you actually found some food on your, your first day.
00:06:50
Speaker
um So you didn't technical didn't technically lose any food that day. so you're only So you've still got four days of food left after eating dinner tonight. ah so lucky stuff on Oh, that's right. Your snares did work. I put notes for that. Let me check my notes. um your snares I think I said your snares gave you an extra day of food, which means you
00:07:18
Speaker
Still has. So that means instead of four days, you've got five left. um Session one notes.
00:07:26
Speaker
you spend So you made a day of progress. You spent a ration. But then you found a ration. Then Frank set up snares the night before. It rolled to 19. When you woke up this morning, you did find um a day's worth of dead squizzards in your snares. So you all have squiz had squizzards.
00:07:45
Speaker
um for breakfast or whatever, gaining you another day of food. So now instead of four, you have five days of food left. All right. Lucky Lucky's going to turn to the rest of the group. Look at that picture. Sorry, go ahead. Oh, no, I was just saying I'm taking a look at that picture of the squizzard. He needs to close this out before something happens. Oh.
00:08:15
Speaker
qui So Jaden, your cooking thingy um it is you can make a meal, basically, that people can use to heal themselves. Nobody needs healing right now, though, because we all technically had a long rest. You could get extra hit points and get 1d8 hit points. Does it give you temporary hit points? ah No, you regain an extra 1d8. So thats that's for healing. Yeah, and it's not like Extra. yeah it just makes sure So whenever you take a short rest, you have to spin hit dice, and this lets you gain an extra HP for doing that. A creature can use a bonus action to eat one of those treats to gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus. Oh, yeah. Well, OK. So go ahead and roll using your chef's tools. They should be over on the side under proficiencies or something like that.
00:09:13
Speaker
drinkns Huh? Attribute. Uh, that's probably a wisdom. Are you, are you in arts?
00:09:28
Speaker
14. Yeah. I'll say you make, you make a meal. Um, one. Yes. You but make one meal that somebody can eat probably tomorrow. Cause y'all it is right now to gain the Frank. Okay.
00:09:45
Speaker
Because it's it was his food that he caught. All right. You hook him up. It's tasty. Squizzard Frank. That's a two HP. Squizzard right there. Squizzard meal. By the way, Ocean and if that thing came came running at me, that thing is that thing is a cocaine fueled nightmare. That thing is awful looking. The Squizzard. Yes. Frank has one. I have the best. Yeah. Keep the fuck away from. writing ah Yeah, have you ever had a squirrel chase you in someone's attic? It is terrifying. I never had that.
00:10:23
Speaker
ah Dude, oh you had the the pre baited bait state or glue pads. No, no, they just got in then because I got some today and they are good for bugs and rodents apparently. Oh, I mean, they're all good for bugs.
00:10:43
Speaker
Well, apparently it attracts them or something. ah
00:10:47
Speaker
But Lucky's going to look at everyone else in the group and it's going to be like, y'all want to cuddle? Yeah. Why'd you say it like that? My chicken does too. So are you guys going to go the route of cuddling the night away or and not to build a Well, we can do both. I would like to reset my snares, if possible. You do have a bedroll. you're You would have to yeah roll role survival again for your snares. Oh, ah I almost forgot, actually. When I but i said that, I also partsh i also signed ah while I was speaking out loud.
00:11:29
Speaker
um
00:11:34
Speaker
Is that just the results of catching or is that... It's a difficulty. um So ah you know what's funny, Bill, is in the book idea I had for this stranded scenario, the main character was going to be deaf.
00:11:55
Speaker
yeah and um And so it's just amusing that your character has sign language. Oh, he's got more he's got more than sign language. i i've got um but he's got a is bio and stuff i'm going to be like one of his favorite things are explosions so he's basically exploded his ear um but point that he's essentially mostly deaf hence the sign language yeah yeah a look for wood You guys do have bedrolls. um The bedrolls alone will not be enough to keep you warm.
00:12:30
Speaker
Now cuddling together is a method. um Also, what if we set like the Bedrolls one on top of the others for extra warmth? OK.
00:12:44
Speaker
We all get into one. We all cram into one Bedroll. And then we just stack them. We just zip them together. That was actually the question I was having. like Are these like a potato sack?
00:13:00
Speaker
Yeah, so you can because it's modern times. Yeah. So then you can unzip one fully to the end and just display it out in like a blanket. Yeah. Yeah.
Strategies for Warmth and Safety
00:13:12
Speaker
Well, yes. And then also I can I look in the woods for wood? Yes. Do you want to build a campfire? Yeah. The way he's. God, the way you're so excited to say that. ah I want to find wood. oh With that, you do find wood, but it's like very little. It's rotten and stuff and it just crumbles in your fingertips. um You mess with one branch and the branch like snaps at you. Oh, they'll need damage. It's just like one of those. It's a broken. It's a broken branch, but like there's enough life left in it in it that it like flick, flicks at you like a like a lizard's tail. Oh.
00:14:01
Speaker
I'm like grossed out by that. You know what that means? No fire, my boys. Oh, man. sir Is there running water nearby? um There's water. There's lots of fresh water in this area. Could I by chance try to go catch some shit with my net? That would have fallen under your survival role. Did a 12 make it?
00:14:26
Speaker
I will tell you in the morning. Well, no, if you're catching stuff with your net in the morning, you failed.
00:14:34
Speaker
12 wasn't enough. Well, that would be for the the snares, though, wouldn't it? It would be a general survival role for the night. OK. Yeah. Because it's supposed to be hard to find. I can't let just let you keep rolling over and over.
00:14:55
Speaker
until you get a good success. Well, I guess we're just going to try to. Huddle up. OK, everyone make a constitution check. Are we going to like, keep watch? I don't know, are y'all? We probably should. A constitution saving throw or a constitution? um Saving throw, yeah. Now do we have to if we're literally stacked up upon each other or something happens, we're going to realize Unless you're all asleep. I mean. So I'm fully healed up. What is what is the downside of not sleeping for a night? ah You do have advantage. I'll give you advantage hidden. Just because inspiration. Assuming you're part of this cuddle group, you have advantage. Yeah. Yeah. Where are all my cuddlers at? Where are are all of my colors at? Ron, what?
00:15:53
Speaker
What would be the disadvantage of staying up all night? You suffer a level of exhaustion. And what would that do? Disadvantage on ability checks tomorrow.
00:16:05
Speaker
Exhaustion. That's probably right. But um level one of exhaustion is disadvantage on ability checks. And the only way to clear that is an eight hour stretch of rest. OK, fuck. But look, you gain inspiration whenever you finish a long rest as a human.
00:16:24
Speaker
Yeah, oh well, yeah, y'all have inspiration that can be used once. Oh, so, oh, shit, we do have inspiration. I completely forgot about that shit. I'm giving you advantage on this role if you are cuddled. Never all. Oh, that was that. Is that everybody? Four people.
00:16:45
Speaker
ah
00:16:48
Speaker
Well, what happened to the campfire that we're standing at right now? You're at a different campsite. Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. you're absolutely all ah And does someone stay awake? I mean, you can take shifts. You don't have to stay awake all night yeah i'll take to take shifts. Nobody gets out of the role, though, do you just like nudge the person that's next and then they stay up for a certain amount of time. Oh, can I if I'm not in the bundle, can I go sleep with the badger mole?
00:17:22
Speaker
that's What makes you think the Badger Mole isn't also cuddled with us? What if he's like but we're just like laying underneath him? Make him 50-50. I guess. Let's see if the Badger Mole... Hold on. um give No, you know what? Give me an animal handling.
00:17:43
Speaker
yeah Me? Or? If you want to sleep with the Badger Mole. All um right, let's all try. a Jesus, Frank. yeah
00:17:56
Speaker
That is a 21, I guess. Noob. Man, I'm rolling like shit tonight. ah Come on, stupid fat fingers. Come on, Badgermold. I tried saving your life. Granted, I have died. You got 16 first. the Yeah, the Badgermold doesn't like... um He didn't. ...this character. which Which one are you, Riker? Yeah. The Badgermold's not a fan of Riker.
00:18:23
Speaker
um So that just means you have to sleep on the edge on the the like outer edge of the sleeping bundle. I'm going to go get a drink. I'll be right back. Oh, so the squeeze is also part of our bundle scratchy for some reason. I'll be right back. Everyone's getting sick because of me. I'm sorry, guys. What the fuck did you do, Jayden? Oh, Tegan got me sick. And if anyone's worked with Tegan, then man, Tegan got everybody fucked up.
00:18:54
Speaker
Okay, I'm back. So ah yeah, so you actually know all managed to, that the the difficulty was only 10 for that Constitution slave. So you all you all passed, including Hayden because of the advantage. um Frank, barely. ah But- Hey, I got a 21 on my handle handling. I am directly underneath that badger ball. That's the only thing that saved you.
00:19:22
Speaker
It was pretty cold. You guys wake up in the morning and there's like that like layer of like frost on the ground that's like not really ice, but you know it's it turns the grass white. um and It's cold, but it wasn't cold enough to make any of you suffer a level of exhaustion. No trees attack you and nothing else bad happens in the night. um so We are on the third day,
00:19:50
Speaker
um So let's go ahead and we've got, I hope you all do a little bit better because that there are things that can happen if you roll more than one success as a group. um Well, real quick, before we before we kind of embark on this. Yes. Is there anything you'd like to do in the morning? Yes, 100%. I'm going to look at some random tree 50, 60 feet away, and I'm just going to fucking shoot it just once. I'm not wasting a bunch of ammo, but I am going to shoot it. Give me an attack roll.
00:20:21
Speaker
Nice. With advantage. Nice, sneak attack. You know, the tree's not expecting it, so. Wow, with advantage, that's an 11. Hold up, let me see what the AC on this tree is. the I think it'd be a 10 if it's in a week entry with your team. And yeah, I think it was. I named them different things, so ah ah yeah, it was a 10.
00:20:51
Speaker
um Hold up, let me... We'll do 50-50 if it's a... If it's a 1, it's a it's ah a live tree. If it's a 2, it's not a tree. Alright. So you're telling me we've been here for a year? And we can't tell which ones are live trees and which ones aren't? Nope. ah it So the tree screeches in pain.
00:21:19
Speaker
ah Go ahead and deal some damage. Nice. What's your... Alright, come on. Press it.
00:21:30
Speaker
Press it, you hamster! I just realized why this white claw tastes so good, because I'm wearing... I've got a peach-flavored baked juice, and it's a peach white claw. Okay. Wow. I'll press it for you, Bill. Thank you! My god!
00:21:50
Speaker
The trees got to make a constitution saving throw to see if it can wake up.
00:21:57
Speaker
oh ah It showed up as a one for me if at first. um Yeah, no, it's it's not capable of rousing enough to attack you with its vines. Plus, it was like 60 feet away, so. Yeah, well, then i the vines can go further than 60 feet.
00:22:17
Speaker
but I watch Bill do this, and then I try to shoot it with the lightning bolt.
00:22:25
Speaker
I felt like pull things towards you. I can. You create a lash with lightning that strikes on Chris. Well, yeah, you hit it with lightning dealing three damage. um ah You cannot pull a tree towards you, so you don't even have it automatically succeeds its strength save. Yeah, and most trees also can't hit you. I'm sure right next to it. Well, you attacked it again, so let me see if it can try to wake up again. um Nope.
00:23:02
Speaker
How much damage? You guys have dealt ah three lightning damage and nine piercing damage to it.
00:23:13
Speaker
the did. I meant to press the I and I actually hit the little bubble. Then in that case, I'm going to go ahead and just very much dedicate myself to this declaring war on nature. I'm going to go for my watch. I'm going to press my little minute hand and shoot fire out and I'm going to cast Firebolt at that tree. Fuck that in particular.
00:23:53
Speaker
well that's all well that like Oh, yeah. happening Can I walk the opposite direction to the nearest a body of water and try to fish with my net? OK, hold on. I've got to start calculating some damage here for real. Three lightning. Oh, my God. pice There we go. OK, we did got plus four plus seven, so I got eleven fire damage. Some breakfast, boys. Two fire damage because it's a tree. um Well, it can make a constant saving throw with advantage now because it's on fire.
00:24:27
Speaker
And now I'm on fucking fire! They've gotten 18. So, um
00:24:35
Speaker
um... What's about to happen? For initiative for whoever's attacking this tree. roll jaden I don't fuck know why you've decided to do this. um it's time ra I the opposite direction to the nearest body of water and attempted to fish. He cries while fishing. I heard you, hold on.
00:24:55
Speaker
um I actually have fishing what the fact that. Let me just go back OK, we're still on this this same camp, so let me just use the same map. um I mean. Just so I have the tree token, where's the tree OK? Give me a give me a second to roll my initiative. The game just kicked me out.
00:25:21
Speaker
Lucky's going to look back to everybody. Looks like Wood's back on the menu, boys.
00:25:33
Speaker
OK, let's see. Let me unkill this tree so I can use him. I'm not going to do a full battle map or just do theater to mine for this.
Morning Survival Efforts
00:25:45
Speaker
OK, there I am.
00:25:49
Speaker
unless you're all getting involved in this fight. Frank, I know you're not. You rolled survival, uh, nope. You don't, you failed to catch any fish, which is odd because these fish love to be caught. Yeah, they just hate you. oh Can I use my inspiration for the day? Uh, to get the 15? Yeah. yeah and Hello, I'm Blake Lightcastle. Oh, playing a catching one of the rare fish of all the catch happy fish.
00:26:19
Speaker
Hold on, let me add Jaden to this thing. Jaden. ah
00:26:32
Speaker
Hayden, what's your character doing while this is going on? I want to say I would see them doing this and wander away. ah um Yeah, you've unnecessarily awakened the tree.
00:26:49
Speaker
um Bill, what was your initiative? Did you roll? i'm I'm sorry. I had to load entirely back into the game. So I'm i'm just ah loading up my character sheet so I can roll my initiative.
00:27:02
Speaker
let me ah We're just going to do this. We'll make a blank. Just throw it on a blank map. That is a blank map, right? Yeah. um Did it go?
00:27:17
Speaker
other uh sweet yeah yeah i'll get you added don't worry um we'll go ahead and bring blake and everyone else just in case let me bring some of those fine tokens uh copy when it uh starts reaching i look at bill and i say i think we might be in over our heads
00:27:44
Speaker
Lucky's going to look at him. Lucky's going to look back at him, look back at the tree, look back at him, and just kind of nod.
00:27:55
Speaker
Now, OK, so I know Hayden kind of meandered away, and Frank went off to do his own thing. What about ah but about the Matt? What about Matt? What about good old shower Matt? Mathis? Yeah.
00:28:15
Speaker
barma matty
00:28:20
Speaker
let a
00:28:26
Speaker
hang on I'm setting this up real quick.
00:28:31
Speaker
I want to stick you over here. Oops. OK, so y'all are like a good distance away um shooting at this thing.
00:28:42
Speaker
Everyone else is off doing something. The vines don't exist yet. The badger mole is doing whatever badger moles do.
00:28:54
Speaker
He's probably off hunting for breakfast. I need to add Bill to the turn order. Boom. You got 19. I guess um everybody else, Hayden and Frank, go ahead and roll initiative so we can like go over what you all are doing um as well.
00:29:12
Speaker
Frank, you're currently trying to fish, so I'll have something to happen with that. Aiden, you've gotten all that. Ain't y'all ever played an RPG? We got to go full Dark Souls of these things. Kill everything. We need experience. We need souls. Assuming you don't die yourself. They almost killed you last time. It's always a risk when you're playing Dark Souls. That's true. It is always a risk when you're playing Dark Souls.
00:29:41
Speaker
ah so Lucky, you're up again. You just shot the tree um with the firebolt. OK. OK, I'm going to go ahead and use my assault rifle this time. And I'm going to go ahead and also, so along with that assault rifle, I am going to go ahead and if this was before you do that, give me either and survival or knowledge or a nature check.
00:30:19
Speaker
Survival or nature?
Unexpected Threats and Combat
00:30:25
Speaker
Which one sucks less nature? Nature, surprisingly, sucks less. All right. Fucking God damn it. Come on, sorry, I know that first one, it's the second one. OK, 18, so you personally haven't fought a lot of these trees, but. You do recall.
00:30:49
Speaker
that um bullets aren't super effective against trees. ah aha All right, then you know what? Second verse, same as the first. I'm going to throw out my undrinkable liquor brew. And yeah, I'm going to go ahead and, in that case, just cast Firebolt again.
00:31:11
Speaker
okay
00:31:14
Speaker
How are you going to? ah Did it bit it roll? ah Yeah. There it goes. okay 14 is a hit. Nice. That's a hit. Come on. I know you want to. You're going to click on. No, that's the description. Fucking shit. I am trying my best here. I will. I will. Got to click for the word fireball and blacks. I swear to Christ, I am. OK, I'll click 40.
00:31:52
Speaker
8 damage. um Tree burst in the flames. Oh, wow. Well, we'll go with Bill's first roll, which is 8.9. Y'all see that, right? like it It didn't just yeah do that for me, right? So y'all are doing a lot better against this tree than you did the last one. um It's looking bad. ah The Badger Mole is off doing whatever Badger Moles do.
00:32:20
Speaker
um Let's let's make a roll for badger mole here. He's um He does not have any skills So he's out. I'm gonna say he's proficient at so let's give him a plus to Fucking badger moles humping in the underbrush So whatever he's doing he gets a 10 um Avalon that is Jaden. So Jaden, you're still you're ah helping fight the tree. So Okay, does burning hands have distance? Burning hands has a range. It's not a very long range ah infer The range of the tree is 10 feet I think um Okay, well I'll move
00:33:13
Speaker
15 feet away. Yeah, the tree has a reach of 10 feet. So you'd be safe at 15. Well, safe from it, which is that the little vines can pop up anywhere he wants. OK.
00:33:29
Speaker
um Ooh. It's got to make a dex save. OK, let's see. um The tree's not very dexterous. I don't think it's ever at all. Oh, my God.
00:33:46
Speaker
ah Does it take my inspiration? You're going to use this. so No, it's it's a dexterity save. Oh, it's not on you. It's on the tree. ah It takes half as much. So um the tree.
00:34:02
Speaker
Sways to the side as the flames come at it and manages to not get fully engulfed in the flames however You did nine damage divided by two because it dodged but times two because it's weak against fire Which means you deal nine damage to it nice? This trees looking bad ah Does fire damage occur to it on its turn It will on its turn, yes. So you are out fishing. You rolled high enough to catch something on your roll way back when. um Definitely called something grabs. No, you've got a net. Hmm. I have both fish and tackle and net. What are you using? Whichever would be more fun. Well, something bites your line.
00:34:55
Speaker
and pulls hard. Make a strength check. Strength check. Make an athletics check. It's a monster fish.
00:35:09
Speaker
um 14. It's got to make an opposed check. So let me. ah Oh, man, we're at my list of of monsters. I haven't started this one out yet, but I know what it's based off of. It's on my laptop.
00:35:24
Speaker
bring up my monster list. I just need to see what it was. ah Oh my god, it's a statid monster. The most interesting. I just haven't put it into roll 20 yet.
00:35:38
Speaker
A fucking shark.
00:35:43
Speaker
Let me look at my aquatic monsters. It's the strangest thing. This animal planet, this animal world, this weird alien world just has earthly sharks. Well, it actually, you know, it might. um Oh my fucking God. There are some Earth animals on this planet. um um However, what Frank has to deal with. OK, let me. Where's where the aquatic list go?
00:36:18
Speaker
Here we are. ah It's got to roll a role of strength save. Let's see. OK. That will be a d20 plus. Oh, back to this computer. Flash rd20 plus this. Is it that? Tell me it's that. I want it to be that. To be what? The thing I just sent in Discord.
00:36:42
Speaker
um
00:36:46
Speaker
That's not what I was using, but that would be amusing. ah this all this We call this the tabletop shark. Fun fact. This preacher pulls hard enough to either pull the rod out of your hand or pull you into the water with it. Can choose to let go.
00:37:12
Speaker
I think I am going to be pulled into the water with it. OK. Um, you are pulled into the water as you plunge beneath the water. You see what kind of looks it's the shape of a dolphin. Um, but it has scales. It's more like a stocky dolphin. Um, if you give me a nature check, you might be able to recognize this nature. I'm relatively good of nature.
00:37:47
Speaker
You remember ah from a movie you watched um back on Earth before you were frozen for an unknown amount of time, you remember a um ah video, a prequel to Finding Nemo set in prehistoric times, ah Finding Timo, in which an ichthyosaurus had to go look for its baby.
00:38:16
Speaker
This is a something it's basically a dinosaur equivalent of a dolphin With sharp teeth and stuff But ah ah That they are marine reptiles um Believed to have been smart and playful like dolphins um They are not incredibly aggressive, but of course you have ah Hooked this one, and it is pulling you through the water.
00:38:52
Speaker
um Blake, light cat. Wait, now that was Riker. That was Riker's turn. Okay, so Frank, that's what happened on your turn. Hayden, what are you doing? I guess you almost all are eyesight. I feel like i um I... I'm probably looking for the tracks, to be honest.
00:39:15
Speaker
OK, give me a um survival check.
00:39:21
Speaker
I do investigation. ah You know what? Yeah. I'll say yes, because Matthias is helping you. 19. OK, you do find the tracks. So you found the tracks. You all know which way to go. If you can get the rest of these idiots um to stop playing with trees and fish.
00:39:43
Speaker
um And I guess with my bonus action, I'll hex the tree. Okay. Yeah. hate it All right. What is necrotic damage? myfu ah Oh, my God. You deal. Oh, nice. Okay. um You deal emotional damage. All right. Now it's the tree's turn. So the first thing the tree has to do is burn a little.
00:40:16
Speaker
ah The tree burns to a crisp. Nice. Two HP left. yeah they later get I helped so much. Yep, it would have survived if you hadn't done that one damage and then it would have shot out its vines and attacked everybody. Including you. eatable Including you because you were close enough to do that. You had to have been within 90 feet and the trees range on its vines are more than that, so.
00:40:45
Speaker
um I'm not setting the range. Yeah. ah Yeah, y'all killed a tree. So let me record that real quick ah for experience at the end of the session. OK. One tree.
00:41:11
Speaker
All right, tree is dead. um Frank? You're being pulled out to sea. In true natural cornberry fashion, he is basically just like surfing, or not surfing, skiing, water skiing, being pulled by this dolphin reptile. You would need to make an animal handle check for that. And in athletics.
00:41:43
Speaker
Or, yeah, something something like that to be to be doing something cool like that or performance.
00:41:57
Speaker
oh Nice. So, um yeah, you managed to wrangle this this ah dinosaur fish um to a point where you're actually able to control it using the line.
00:42:11
Speaker
Um, and you're able to turn it back towards shore. Uh, I guess technically this was a river because you guys are in the jungle right now. So you're able to turn it back towards you and, um, guide it up river back to where you started. So y'all look out at the clearing, um, uh, or you look past the clearing at the river. Um, cause you hear somebody going.
00:42:40
Speaker
And it's just like across the water. Yeah, Frank is not a chewy fish. He's now riding the the ichthyosaurus.
00:42:54
Speaker
um Yeah, you you could kill this thing for a lot of food or I don't know, um tie it off and come back for it later. Unfortunately, you guys are going inland. I would like food.
00:43:09
Speaker
I will let you um you've tamed this so you can simply slaughter it. OK, you you you mercilessly slaughtered the fish that you tamed. um And that's you know, these things look pretty big. That's food enough for two days for the group. Plus, so you are up to seven days rations. And in true Nigel Thornberry fashion slaughtered that poor defenseless animal.
00:43:41
Speaker
And so... um I mean, didn't you all ever wonder why those same two poachers always followed them around? Fucking Nigel was leaving him a hands-on where to find all these animals.
00:43:55
Speaker
so So now that you all have done that, um you guys can continue on your way. So with Hayden having found the tracks,
00:44:10
Speaker
Um, everyone do another survival role, but you all have advantage this time. Oh, did our, um, stairs get us anything? No, your snares didn't get you anything. And Hayden before, uh, before, uh, sorry, Hayden, before you make your role, I'm actually going to be, I'm actually going to use my cantrip guidance on you. Cool. for what It added before.
00:44:37
Speaker
Everyone has advantage, and Hayden gets an extra D4. I guess I need a roll for Matthias. I need to stop closing his character sheet. I said we're all rolling survival. Yeah.
00:44:53
Speaker
Do I get a plus four to this roll? Yes. 24. Nice. OK, so we've got 24.
00:45:07
Speaker
12, a 16, a 24, and a 22. All right. um That is successes, I feel like. Or successes.
00:45:20
Speaker
um
00:45:24
Speaker
Oh, there it is. OK. All right. Do you make a prop? Clipping their nails. Someone is clipping their nails, that's for sure. That's very loud.
00:45:39
Speaker
Let me see. Oh, words and notes for this day. Oh, yeah. um
00:45:46
Speaker
Where'd it go? ah You make progress. ah You follow the trail. And as you are going along, um you come across another set of tracks. These look like hoof prints. So you've got the bear-like prints, and then you've got the hoof prints going in a different direction.
00:46:07
Speaker
ah What do you guys do?
00:46:14
Speaker
They look like ball hooves. No, they don't. And you said they're going in an entirely different direction than ah is our goal. Yes, they are crossing the path of the bear-like prince.
00:46:40
Speaker
Can we tell how old it is? ah they look they They look newer than the bear prints. How old did the bear prints look? The bear prints are at least a day or two old. It's hard to say. Oh, catching up.
00:47:06
Speaker
I'd say we keep following the bear prints.
00:47:11
Speaker
Yeah, that's our that's our goal. That's your goal. Whether we follow the food or kill the bear, you have food either way. Frank and Jaden.
00:47:25
Speaker
um Sorry, I'm trying to pay a bill at the same time. What was the question? Do you want to follow the bear? Continue following the bears you are already following or go after these new hoof prints. I say let's split up.
00:47:40
Speaker
You want to split the party, okay. The most brilliant plan, no one has ever voted. It goes right every single time.
00:47:50
Speaker
Yeah, no member of the cast of Critical Role has ever died while the party was split. True. They always choose it, though. one That's one vote for splitting the party. Frank, we're still waiting on you to weigh in. Oh, um...
00:48:09
Speaker
I don't know. um I'm probably like over by a tree, like with a little notebook, just cataloging like a new bug.
00:48:22
Speaker
going Mattias wants to follow the Bears too, so it's three against one. Now Jaden, um Avalon is welcome to go off on his own, but sounds like the rest of the party's going to follow after the Bears.
00:48:36
Speaker
Yeah, I don't want to be a dumb one and to go by myself. I'd rather go at least someone else. So. Well, I have my chicken. You do have your chicken. I might, I might have to. oh I step aside from the group and I like just like hold my chicken in front of my face and I'm just staring at it. I'm like, what should I do? It's going like. but um And I'm just like staring at it and then.
00:49:05
Speaker
um I'm going to roll a D2. Okay. You're giving yourself 50-50 a chance. Can you do that? Yeah. Slash R D2. Okay. If I roll a one, I'm going to go by myself. If I roll a ah two, then I go with the group. All right. The first care to be to be rerolled is. Oh, okay. I go with them. Okay. Not Jane. All right. So yeah, you guys continue on your way.
00:49:35
Speaker
Um, and, uh, do you, uh, set up camp again? Well, eventually, you know, you you continue following the, uh, what's my call it the bear tracks. Um, and, uh, Matthias is confident that you guys are catching up. Uh, you're still, you know, that the bears are continuing in a relatively straight direction.
00:50:01
Speaker
So even if you like lose their their trail for a little bit, you keep going in the same direction and you find them again. ah and But you have not caught up to them yet, and we've got another night um another night in the forest. Can I roll an Insight check on him? Oh, Matthias? Yeah. Go for it. How much do we really know about this guy?
00:50:32
Speaker
10. Inside of 10. Hold on. Let's see here.
00:50:45
Speaker
ah So Mathias, you've never gotten any bad vibes from Mathias. He's been around you know since the beginning. um he During the chaos of the first like several months, he was always a voice of reason. He was always trying to get people focused, but it really wasn't until, honestly, most of the camp was dead before people finally started listening to him. He's an ex-soldier. um you know Back on Earth, he was like a Marine or something, um and fought in the Second Vietnam War.
00:51:26
Speaker
i And um we lost that one as well. ah And so he does have some experience. We have no luck in Vietnam. No, we should really just quit. Honestly, there are a lot of things we should just quit, but that's ah good luck. yeah um Well, you know we needed their their plastic factories, and that's why it took so long to build a spaceship.
00:51:55
Speaker
ah So um yeah, I mean, in general, you've never gotten any bad vibes from him. All right.
00:52:11
Speaker
um OK, so you guys, um you've got another night to survive. What time is it?
00:52:29
Speaker
A five. Well, that's not what I meant. I mean, what do you all want to do for that? Oh. Can I look for wood again? Those roles are pretty bad, though. Well, I mean, Frank, before don't roll yet. um'm Frank, I'm going to be giving you guidance on this one.
00:52:47
Speaker
ah Guidance. Let's just all roll survival. Might as well. We've already started the process. but Frank, whatever you get at a plus four. Oh, my God. Natural 20. He got a natural 20. So plus four makes it makes it whatever. Twenty seven. OK. And I, of course, set up my my traps as as per usual. Well, before you do that. um Let me bring this up. OK, come on. float don't Don't worry, Jamie, you'll be you're going to be next up, Jaden. In the distance. Oh, I forgot I was supposed to be doing these roles every time.
00:53:28
Speaker
ah
00:53:31
Speaker
In the distance, you see a cave visible through the foliage. ah A glowing light is coming from inside. It's a pale glow, like a bluish-green glow.
00:53:49
Speaker
I see that, and then I set up my traps. you have hit northern Okay, you set up your traps. He's like... nicely That makes me want to set up my traps. Not even gonna tell anybody about it. No, he saw this while he was out like finding the best spots to set up his traps. Rip. Did nobody else see it?
Discovery of the Glowing Cave
00:54:11
Speaker
now you lets at twenty wasn and that's that Bro, we got a five, a six and a 13. I'm sorry, I thought we all knew. So I was out setting up my traps and then I see the glow blowing bluee light and blood watching glowing blue light from the cave and I come back to the the the encampment. I'm like, I can't do a Nigel Thornberry very well.
00:54:40
Speaker
Just have fun, make something up. guys mar your There's a glowing blue light over there.
00:54:54
Speaker
Really? I will say that. That would be unusual because you know that you're the only group, um you know, they only send out one group at a time. ah Lucky's going to look at you and oh yeah, go ahead.
00:55:13
Speaker
Do we know of any, like, animals or insects or anything like that that give off light like that? Nothing you've encountered so far. um You do know that the there are some, you know, sentient creatures out there. Well, by that, I mean, there's the humans and whatever the goat people were. Oh. There's the among us people, which were the humans from the other dropship, which you haven't actually encountered yet. You know, they exist. And then there's the the goats.
00:55:44
Speaker
like i mean I'm down to go check it out Lucky's gonna look at you and he's going to say this and sign at the same time gonna be like How how bright was the light coming out of the cave It it wasn't very bright it was like a pale light yeah it wasn't very bright it was a pale light ah and Lucky's gonna look up into the sky And it's going to sign to this and it's going to sign without speaking to this without actually speaking out loud is going to thank the sky. And then it's going to look at it down over at Nigel. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Blake. And it's going to be like, thanks for that.
00:56:33
Speaker
I mean, we might as well check it out now before it becomes a problem in the middle of the night.
00:56:39
Speaker
Yeah, that's true and lucky cut and lucky double check double checks the Magnus pistols loaded pops up again Chambers at Chambers one the rifle Alright, I'm ready Okay, um so you guys head over to this cave you do indeed see the pale glow of Whatever is in there um Do you how do you want to approach this?
00:57:10
Speaker
Stealthily. Stealthily. OK, look, I. I think I would. Let me I want to see if ah I have Arcana as a. Perficient skill.
00:57:26
Speaker
um
00:57:30
Speaker
Would I be able to? does Does this feel magical or does it feel not magical? I mean a magic probably has a feel to it, right? ah You could make an arcana check. Okay, I'll make an arcana check. God fucking shit. It does not feel... Did I touch it? Oh, I would rather say you get no specific feeling from it.
00:58:04
Speaker
I'm going to go walk over and touch it. ah You touch the cave? what do you touch or What are you touching? As you walk over, you see that the glow is coming from um not all, but some of various mushrooms glowing in the cave.
00:58:23
Speaker
oh Survival check? Give me a perception check. Oh, that's the wrong one. Exception god damn you jayden. Stop rolling before I can announce that i'm gonna give you fucking guidance Well, you can go ahead and give it to him. I'd add a d4 roll a d4 jayden. Okay? Uh Four four four four bottom rip Um, so jayden you are approaching the cave and however lucky uh You see one of the mushrooms
00:59:02
Speaker
move. I'm going to reach I'm going to reach out and put my end grab and grab grab. but Give me one second Avalon and by the shoulder. It's gonna look him dead in the eye. Just shake my head. um As you do that, everyone now can notice this one of the mushrooms does move. It it stands up and walks over to the other side of the cave.
00:59:32
Speaker
and starts rummaging around for some rummaging around. I want to go ahead and do my awakened mind. It's about too tall. I'm sorry, how tall is it? Too. So if i if this thing understands any language, I can communicate with it on a basic level. It's very odd.
00:59:59
Speaker
These things. should understand language, but they have no languages.
01:00:06
Speaker
Most creatures have a language in the in the Monster Manual. So I'm not sure. Well, I mean, awaken would Awakened Mind count if if the if I only spoke the sign language? I mean, like the reason why they're awakened is because magic was put upon them to awaken them. They're not sentient in of themselves. Well, these are different than the tree. And the tree isn't actually awakened. The tree is now. Oh, the trees and animals. Does it have a language? Oh, fucking yelling at these trees. Animalistic plants, um these mushrooms. OK, hold on.
01:00:46
Speaker
I mean, I mean, they would probably have some type of communication they with their glowy lights. I had to read um a little bit when you so you reach out to this mushroom thing with your awakened mind and.
01:01:02
Speaker
It is surprised. um You sense it's surprise. However, you sense, at least at the moment, no hostility. It turns and looks out into the darkness you know towards you guys. Sorry.
01:01:21
Speaker
Yeah, it looks in y'all's direction. This mushroom does have eyes. <unk> I do a wave at it. I'm going to show you the picture. Are these the things from the Underdark, but little mushroom in? Yeah, I'm going to show you the picture of the thing. However, I'm going to add some stuff to its description. um And also, jesus this will reveal the D and&D monster I'm using for it. But every monster I'm putting in this game, I've made changes to.
01:01:57
Speaker
i just haven't fully changed to this monster. Showed everyone, I guess. Ooh. So it looks kind of like that, except it has four arms instead of two. Four arms plus its two legs. Are there four different sizes, or three different sizes, too? What? In the in the picture, the second picture now. You only see the the the medium one. Because there's a small one. It's the one walking around.
01:02:32
Speaker
And it is not glowing. um It's that um the other mushrooms around are glowing.
01:02:43
Speaker
um So I guess me understanding that like it probably can't communicate back to me, but it can understand my emotions. I try to communicate through my emotions that. Because it's not.
01:02:59
Speaker
doing any hostility. And so I will try to communicate through that with my emotions as well.
01:03:06
Speaker
um the The mushroom ah kind of ah like waves its arm and a puff of spores come out of its hand. um And you you do, it's weird because the way your your thing works is you don't necessarily, when you don't share a language, you don't hear it's sort of translated into your words. So you weirdly get the translation of, um, of, uh, are you one of, are you one of the sky ones? And and say the ones that have been stranded on this moon for a year now. Yes.
01:03:53
Speaker
It's, uh, you, you, since the most emotion of surprise. Are you telling that the group what's happening? Or they're just like? I look at everyone and I give them the like the one second finger. OK. You hear it's surprise and said, and and it puffs out some more spores. And you get the translation. um We did not know the scott that this the sky fallen could speak. And I try to communicate.
01:04:26
Speaker
Am I doing this with my emotions or like, can it just straight up understand me? We can talk. Okay. um At the moment, I'm the only one that can talk to you as far as I'm aware of.
01:04:42
Speaker
um
01:04:44
Speaker
We would like to talk about a few things. And this is the first time I've ever met another sentient creature. Do You have met many sentient creatures if you have been here long enough. Like the trees? But the trees are sleepers. They are they are like the fish.
01:05:13
Speaker
ah
01:05:16
Speaker
They live, but they do not live like we do. Ron, I was about to say, can I pull out a piece of fish and give it to him? But I don't think that's a good idea anymore. and Yeah, I guess. I turned to the group and tell them so far that. I've been having a conversation with this thing and it recognizes us as. This, what did it call us, the eye fallen, the sky fallen.
01:05:49
Speaker
So Ron, I want to step outside the cave and try to find some like really rich soil. OK. Give me some kind of role of your choice. ah My 25 survival didn't do it earlier. How about nature? Your 25 survival gave you the ability to notice the mushrooms.
01:06:13
Speaker
Nature, you find some soil. Seems good to you. Can I use my herbalism kit to make it better soil? ah Sure. Roll with the proficiency balance the pH level. ah You make some nice soil. I bring it back inside and I offer it to them. The the mushroom um creatures looks it's just one. ah The mushroom creature.
01:06:45
Speaker
ah As you start to approach it in the cave, it it holds its hands out in alarm. Like, facing. Do I hear what it says? i I stop, and then I kind of hold it out and and proffer it to him. It points at a glowing mushroom that you are about to step on. Oh, don't step on its friend, bro.
Communication with Mushroom Creature
01:07:12
Speaker
Well, and then it looks um at at Hayden and
01:07:17
Speaker
you know does the the puff of spores and you hear in your mind, the glowing ones can sometimes hurt the sky falling. I take a step back and I sprinkle some of the really nice soil onto the glowing mushroom. The glowing mushroom. ah And I make a dexterity saving throw. Before he does... Oh, God.
01:07:44
Speaker
God fucking damn it, Frank. I would have said this as soon as he would have said it. So do keep that in mind. OK, yeah, you are fast enough. I did that as he like he like stopped me and I looked down and I saw the mushroom. The mushroom doesn't. It doesn't happen like quickly. So you're able to get out of the way. But when the dirt lands on the mushroom, it kind of like around it not on top of it. Oh, oh, well, that's fine.
01:08:13
Speaker
We'll say your deck save managed to make it only land around it. The ah the mushroom person looks back at Hayden and says, ah I don't know what he's the what is he doing this for. I think he's trying to give you nutrients and or peace offering. I'm not entirely and I I i say that and I'm like, I'm slowly turning to I'm just going to name you Nigel, bro. Like it's just so easy to remember. He is I to Nigel.
01:08:53
Speaker
And I'm like. He wants to know why you're doing that.
01:08:59
Speaker
Or it wants to know the. And I G L. Yeah, that works. Oh, where's our badger mole? ah I guess it's all flying somewhere. They're pretty lazy when you're not making them work. Fucking lazy bastards.
01:09:23
Speaker
I was like, well, he's a he's a mushroom person looking thing, right? I figured peace offering nutrient rich soil.
01:09:35
Speaker
Oh shit, good voice. Lucky is lucky is going to is going to say out loud without signing since he's holding his gun. Mushrooms don't grow don't grow for or don't really grow from soil. They kind of grow from rotting wood or other rotting stuff.
01:09:56
Speaker
Sure. I mean, they can grow in soil. Yeah. and Yeah. But typically speaking, it ah ah typically speaking, if they're growing in soil, there's probably some something rotting underneath the soil. Matthias leans over to.
01:10:13
Speaker
yeah are you sir And I would. I don't know, really. yeah like because You sound drunk as shit because I fell asleep. He.
01:10:26
Speaker
He leans over to you and says, I don't I don't trust these things, these aliens. Mushrooms extract their carbohydrates and proteins from a rich medium of decaying organic matter and vegetation. This rich. Do I do I hear that? Do I hear him saying that? He whispers, but you can make a perception. He whispers. I'll make a perception. Both. He's close by, so I'll say you can hear it. He's like, I don't I don't trust these mushroom things.
01:10:57
Speaker
um Can I also insight him? you can answer Yes, go ahead and do that. 13. I wish you had that. How does it inspiration work? i You are welcome to use that inspiration. um ah I use my inspiration. Fine with the re retroactive use. You're supposed to declare you use it before. i don't mind I'll keep that in mind. yeah i'll keep that in mind Um, you get, so Mathias definitely doesn't trust the mushroom thing. It's also because you're the one communicating with it. There's something about you he doesn't trust. He perception checked me.
01:11:44
Speaker
Um, he's like, so he like whispers over, I don't, I don't trust these, these alien things. We should, we should just get rid of them.
01:11:55
Speaker
And i say I look at the mushroom person and I say, I think it's best if we leave you now.
01:12:05
Speaker
the The mushroom does not argue that, nor will he doesn't necessarily say you need to leave or anything. um He's like, if that's what you feel is best. Does he accept my offering of the nutrient rich substrate? He turns towards you.
01:12:24
Speaker
ah and folds his upper right arm and his lower left arm across, like his chest, and sends out um from from his two hand poofy things, sends out um a poof of a pink and green ah ah cloud small cloud of dust, and then turns away from you. And I understand what that means.
01:12:56
Speaker
You recognize it as some sort of, uh, he's thanking, uh, him for his, his, uh, offering. Yeah. I, I communicate that. Um, and before I leave, I asked them, what do you call yourselves?
01:13:13
Speaker
As weird skyfallen. What do you name yourself? Your people. Man, you're making me come up with a name. You can just call him what the D and D name is. We'll just call him the D and&D name for now. um We are the Mykonids.
01:13:34
Speaker
um Yeah, and so I guess I want to make another roll. Before y'all leave, though, he ah he says one last thing.
01:13:52
Speaker
um And he says, be do I want to call them? We'll use the D and&D name. um Beware the Thrikeen. The Thrikeen? Uh-oh. Yeah.
01:14:08
Speaker
and OK. I have to be like 30 feet away. So I imagine we're like close up to the cave entrance because that's just been sprinkled dirt. Thrikeen.
01:14:24
Speaker
And I, is that how you spell that? Is it keen or cream? Cream. K-R-E-E-N. Beware the thrite cream. Okay. Um, so I have to be able to see the creature. So I would have to be walking away from it, but you know, I don't think anyone's going to judge me for like, keep staring at the sentient creature that we just met and had a conversation with. yeah Um, I'm going to be walking away.
01:14:49
Speaker
and saying, what are the three keen and walking slowly where I can still have like a decent conversation with him. um Ask you to join our party. Not yet. He says. It says this is this is their world, but we don't speak of them. Abu got it. Right. King also going in minutes.
01:15:19
Speaker
Or are they the good thing? Thry cream, you know. OK.
01:15:28
Speaker
What sucks is that I actually wanted to be a Thry Cream for my next for my next ah like regular D and&D build. Yeah, they're cool. And they're very alien in that they're not your standard humanoid. And therefore, I felt they were appropriate for this planet.
01:15:46
Speaker
um I mean, they're bug monsters, well, bug people, but you know that makes them very different from and most other playable races.
01:16:00
Speaker
I thank him for his, or I think the mushroom man, the mushroom person for his time and tell him that
01:16:15
Speaker
We might see each other again. We're hunting some tracks or going following some tracks.
01:16:24
Speaker
It it it basically just like says good luck. All right. And this is like evening time, right? Yeah, yeah. OK, I guess. My next plan is
01:16:43
Speaker
I'll let other people go. Well, I think.
01:16:49
Speaker
This this is the first. Well, no, I guess the goat people. You have encountered one other intelligent life, but that person might have been a human. It might have been side effects from hallucinations. Yes. Um.
01:17:13
Speaker
Bill, actually, your character could probably learn to communicate teach these things sign language. They don't have mouths, even though some of these have mouths in the pictures. But it says they can't actually speak. They speak through spores. But they can totally learn sign language over time. hu up okay then I mean, that's not something they're going to learn overnight. I'm just saying. no Yeah, obviously. But I am going to turn i am going to turn back to Hayden. What's your character's name?
01:17:44
Speaker
Riker. Riker. Thank you. Thank you. up So Lucky is going to turn back over to Riker and be like, can is there like one of their people they want to send with us? Like, you know, friendly please stuff. I can teach them. but We can learn to communicate with them and stuff. I feel like that would be useful. um But at the moment, it's best if we keep our distance.
01:18:12
Speaker
All right, something to keep in mind then. They they said sometimes the glowing ones hurt us by accident. oh Based on based on what just happened a little bit ago, yeah. like With your um nature role and knowledge of herbs and whatnot, ah the glowing mushroom. Certainly did you were up close to ah the glowing mushroom. It definitely didn't look like the the talking mushroom like.
01:18:41
Speaker
It looks like a mushroom. Um, now the, the, the, the evil trees, they look like regular trees, but, um, you know, this, this definitely didn't look like a um mobile intelligent thing. It, it looks like a mushroom that happened to glow. So it's not like an offspring or anything. Uh, I mean, not, to be it could be.
01:19:11
Speaker
I say that. Poison offspring. Dope. Yeah. Quick, I'm going to roll insight. Do you want me to roll like a general insight or an insight for each individual? For what? Insight about what everyone else thinks about me. What everyone thinks about you? Yeah. so So real quick, my character, he is one of the last surviving um members of the family that bought themselves on to the ship.
01:19:39
Speaker
um And the things that you would know about him from spending time around him is one, he's a lawyer in his past life. That's something that he would have talked about. He as a pet. um What what's that thing? The. Skittle luck. Yeah. No. Yeah. better I have a turtle duck pet that I keep and everyone knows I like generally really enjoy that pet. I walk around with it everywhere.
01:20:07
Speaker
um I'm usually very like calm. I never try to let my emotions run me. ah And I take herbs and medicines from um basically PTSD from mike the crash. And sometimes I ask people to repeat themselves.
01:20:32
Speaker
And you assume it's from hearing loss.
01:20:36
Speaker
Oh, nice. This this would be the family that from our our the client. Yes, that um was originally like the the leading family. And then, yeah, ah they all got killed off by Caleb. Slowly. And everybody was cool with it. Or most everybody. that Yeah, he's the last surviving member of that family.
01:21:12
Speaker
He's okay. We haven't really spent much time together, but I don't judge a book by its cover. Yeah, Matthias, I mean, ah what Riker has become aware that Matthias does not trust him for some reason, could be the family, could be other reasons, you know, it's hard to say. um ah Probably the family, because that would be the obvious reason. and but That's my plan is finding out why is it specifically new. Yeah.
01:21:47
Speaker
I think um we can finish up whatever we want to do at the camp before bed, um before we go into the actually finding the bears. um That way Jaden can be awake and stuff.
01:22:06
Speaker
I've heard everything. I'm just so exhausted. Yeah. But is there anything you want to do? We'll we'll end with like doing our survival roles the next morning to so I can plan how the day goes. All right. But is there anything? Well, yeah, you can do that now. But is there anything I want to do before you sleep?
01:22:32
Speaker
um I'll look for wood one more time. And thirteen you're able to find some wood now. Okay. Frank doesn't go. Go ahead and also roll a d4 and add that and add that. Cause I'm going to be giving you guidance. Cause it's a cantrip and I could do it as often as I fucking want to. Yeah. Guidance is a great is a good one. I think I've got, I got it too.
01:22:58
Speaker
I think you can use guidance on yourself. Can you? Uh, yeah. One willing creature. So. Technically, that means you are able to touch yourself with guidance. Oh, shit. Oh, you can touch yourself? Guiding? I don't know. Oh, wait. We can add that before or after making the ability checks. That's awesome. Yeah, that's cool. OK, so we're doing survival check. Yeah, everybody drop your survival checks.
01:23:32
Speaker
OK, one second. I got 20. For survival to set up my yeah 20 Alright so it looks like we've got a good run 1 2 3 19 2 20s and 18 and 14 I think okay, let me note note that down Okay um Yeah, so ah
01:24:04
Speaker
Frank, your snares and stuff, um they do gain an extra day of food. ah so So you guys eat some food and you gain some food. So y'all have seven days of food left. um Part of that survival check, though, was finding the mushroom people. um This survival check is for the next morning to see how your day goes, basically, and and find following the tracks, et cetera. Y'all got four successes for the day.
01:24:34
Speaker
um so i will um Originally, I was going to make y'all go a lot of days, but that seems like it'll be boring. um ah so I will custom make a day for four successes um for the next time we play. ah one thing um Anyone who wants to make a perception,
01:25:02
Speaker
And I'm going to roll something in secret real quick. God damn it. I use guidelines on myself.
01:25:16
Speaker
If I can remember how to roll in secret. GM roll, I think. It's GM backslash, I think. Damn it. Wow, we all roll like shit.
01:25:30
Speaker
Well, I'm gonna get I'm gonna roll a d4 and I cuz I just myself Stop guiding yourself, bro. Oh lucky has rolled Jane rolled so I got a 16 Frank rolled and okay. Well luckily that the the thing you were rolling against rolled a 3 as Everyone's like Setting up for camp or not setting up for camp, um taking down camp in the morning. You notice ah Matthias sneaking off in the direction of the mushroom cave, trying to- He's not doing- Oh, hell no.
01:26:14
Speaker
he's He's heading that way. I'm following that, Ho. Okay. um I will also follow Set Ho. So you guys, ah you do catch up to him at the cave.
01:26:29
Speaker
I also follow that. However, not he's standing around. He's standing in the entrance of the cave, making sure not to step on any mushrooms, looking confused. The mushroom man is not there.
Suspicion and Sneaking
01:26:42
Speaker
um the the The cave, like yeah, it's just the mushrooms. And he turns and sees that you guys have followed him and is like, oh, um yeah, I was just going to say goodbye to the mushroom man.
01:26:58
Speaker
um I'll just do this publicly. Let's see if y'all believe him.
01:27:06
Speaker
He rolled a three. but My path wisdom is thirteen yes so said passive wisdom is a Y'all can definitely tell that that is not why he was coming back here, considering he's holding a loaded gun. But ah the mushroom man is nowhere nowhere to be found anyway.
01:27:31
Speaker
And he's like, yeah, I guess we should get going. I guess he I guess the guy left.
01:27:40
Speaker
You didn't hear any gunfire or anything like that, so he didn't shoot. I just kind of stare at him until stoped him I stare at him until he's the first one to walk away. Agree. He does attempt to stare back, but quickly averts his eyes and walks away. And takes up to the trail. I think there goes Jaden. Yeah.
01:28:01
Speaker
Yeah, I guess with that last one, I give who else ever followed me, I give them all look like a WTF look and I look back in the kate cave um and I just glancing over all the mushrooms.
01:28:17
Speaker
um um Yeah, mushroom man's not there. OK, I just still do it because I i don't know whether he's hidden himself or not. Do any of the these of the formerly glowing mushrooms, do any of them look like they've gotten bigger? ah No. OK. What about the nutrient rich substrate on? A tiny mushroom has grown forth from the nutrient rich substrate. I would like to collect that mushroom. It's daytime, so you can't tell if it's gold.
01:28:52
Speaker
Oh, I don't kidnap people, bro. It's not from the same species. He already said so. All right. All right. Did you collect the mushroom? um Hold on. Well, well, yeah, let's see. Odds or evens, Frank?
01:29:18
Speaker
aye I don't know. What'd you say? I was going to try to ask to warn him against doing so because odds are even. ah Just so we're clear, I'm not like cutting off the stem. I want to dig down to have the soil and put it in one of the five pouches I brought. I understand. OK. Odds. I still warn him against it.
01:29:43
Speaker
ah So the when you pick up the mushroom ah ah you know you You don't cut the stem or anything, but in disturbing it, a tiny poof of of like clip of of purple gas pops out and and gets on your hand and it it it stings, but that's that's it like it. It's it's it's tiny.
01:30:14
Speaker
Okay, I put it in my pouch. I'm taking mushroom and soil and all. Okay. Yeah, so um you put in your inventory that you have one ah tiny poisonous mushroom.
01:30:39
Speaker
it's It's too new to have done any actual harm to you. It's kind of like when you get a little bit of Talstar on your hand. oh yeah yeah and It's still alive, right? cause i have it It's a mushroom. I don't know how you would tell if you killed the mushroom or not.
01:31:01
Speaker
ah Yeah. And so I guess just real quick, because I don't know, I look over all of the the mushrooms, hoping that one of them is at least one of the sentence. And I just do the. I'm sorry, we'll keep an eye on him. But like, just continuously thinking that. Yeah, I do get no response. OK. Didn't you didn't you say that they weren't the same?
01:31:28
Speaker
I said they don't look the same. You, that doesn't mean you know that I said they look like a normal mushroom or like a, central global huh? He said they're glowing. They're glowing, but they, that well, first off the mushroom man was not glowing. Um, these mushrooms, besides the fact that they were glowing, looked like a standard mushroom. Okay. There's some that are really large. They all look exactly like just standard mushrooms. Yes. They look like a, uh,
01:31:58
Speaker
a non-mobile mushroom. Okay. Yeah. I have one pouch filled with a poisonous mushroom. Yeah. ah
01:32:08
Speaker
Lucky's going to make good lucky is going to make a goodbye a goodbye. Wonderful to meet you. Live long. And ah all ah ah whatever some ah you know hand hand gestures and symbols needed for needed for that. And then he's going to move on with everybody else. Yeah. All right. So you guys, um you know,
01:32:27
Speaker
Matthias gets you all back on track with the tracks, and you guys head out for the day, and we will head out for the night.
