Meet the Host: Jordan Derringer

00:01:32
Speaker
Hello everybody and welcome back to Let's Play Pretend.
00:01:35
Speaker
My name is Jordan Derringer.
00:01:37
Speaker
I am your DM, GM, keeper, handler, and host.
00:01:41
Speaker
And I have with me as always, Mr. Nick Barnett.

Poetic Banter Among Hosts

00:01:44
Speaker
This time Ned's got no rhyme.
00:01:45
Speaker
This is not the time, but the webs are whack.
00:01:47
Speaker
I want to go back to the backpack.
00:01:49
Speaker
Life is cool for the uncool.
00:01:50
Speaker
Feeling like a fool.
00:01:51
Speaker
I can't believe I forgot my jewel.
00:01:54
Speaker
Ryan, can I have a cigarette?
00:01:56
Speaker
Fuck you.
00:02:02
Speaker
And good luck following that one up, Mr. Breck Black.
00:02:06
Speaker
Ryan Winchester.
00:02:08
Speaker
And all I got to say is, if you wish to live and thrive, let a spider run alive.
00:02:13
Speaker
These fuckers.
00:02:17
Speaker
All right.
00:02:18
Speaker
And the ball's in your court, Mr. Matt Check.
00:02:21
Speaker
All the goose burning up here to say the spider rib can get fucked in all the ways.
00:02:30
Speaker
I hate you guys.
00:02:31
Speaker
What are you guys watching 8 Mile or some shit?
00:02:35
Speaker
What's with this rap's opening?
00:02:39
Speaker
I love how you did the traditional I can't rap rap.
00:02:42
Speaker
Yeah, it's Arthur's White Upon White.
00:02:46
Speaker
He's a whole week.
00:02:48
Speaker
Alright, and can you follow any of this up?
00:02:52
Speaker
This is Melanie Derringer.
00:02:54
Speaker
I play Samantha Williams and know the fuck I can't.
00:02:57
Speaker
So let's just say my flex this week is I'm officially an official like podcaster because I'm at a desk and not on a couch.
00:03:06
Speaker
Wow.
00:03:07
Speaker
Well, that's for smushing the podcasts that are on couches.

The Surprise Pizza Story

00:03:11
Speaker
No, trust me.
00:03:11
Speaker
I would love to be a couch podcast like all the time.
00:03:14
Speaker
It'd be great.
00:03:15
Speaker
My flex this week is that you're afraid of pizza.
00:03:18
Speaker
Okay, I'm not afraid of pizza.
00:03:21
Speaker
I'm afraid of surprise pizza in my face.
00:03:25
Speaker
What?
00:03:26
Speaker
There's a story there.
00:03:28
Speaker
The story is Jordan and I were doing dishes and I was in the groove so I didn't want to stop.
00:03:33
Speaker
So he was feeding me pizza.
00:03:35
Speaker
You know, being the good husband that I am.
00:03:37
Speaker
Jordan, you threw off the Emperor's groove.
00:03:43
Speaker
But he was like, I was zoning out and doing the dishes and all of a sudden pizza was in my face so I'd flinch.
00:03:48
Speaker
He's like, you're afraid of pizza.
00:03:50
Speaker
I'm like, no, I'm afraid of things flying at my face.
00:03:53
Speaker
Yeah, lucky she didn't hit you.
00:03:55
Speaker
Yeah, especially when she had the silverware in her hand.
00:03:57
Speaker
Just exactly.
00:03:58
Speaker
Just stab me with a fork or something.
00:04:02
Speaker
Stab.
00:04:04
Speaker
I mean, if you surprised her, that's your fault.
00:04:07
Speaker
You deserve it at that point.
00:04:09
Speaker
I could see the first one being a surprise, but after that, it would be more like you should expect it because I'm feeding you.
00:04:17
Speaker
I still not going to expect pizza to be flying in front of my face.
00:04:21
Speaker
He's just practicing for when Piper gets here.
00:04:24
Speaker
Here comes the airplane.
00:04:26
Speaker
Oh, OK.
00:04:26
Speaker
Yeah, that's that's totally what I was doing.
00:04:29
Speaker
Sure, sure it was.
00:04:32
Speaker
I can hear your wink, wink, nod nod.
00:04:35
Speaker
Mm hmm.
00:04:39
Speaker
So I got a question for you guys.

Setting Up 'Let's Play Pretend'

00:04:42
Speaker
Who wants to play pretend?
00:04:46
Speaker
I like playing pretend.
00:04:47
Speaker
I'll be down, I guess.
00:04:49
Speaker
Can I pretend I don't have to go in the spider room?
00:04:52
Speaker
Yeah, right.
00:04:53
Speaker
Pretend whatever you want.
00:04:55
Speaker
Whatever actually happens is going to be a different story.
00:04:59
Speaker
What you're trying to say is the dice are going to fuck us over.
00:05:01
Speaker
Got it.
00:05:02
Speaker
That's up to you and your rolling.
00:05:05
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:05:06
Speaker
Speaking of that, I needed to reroll my fails from last time.
00:05:11
Speaker
I might want to open my character sheet.
00:05:14
Speaker
Yeah, maybe you guys need to do that too.
00:05:17
Speaker
Might be good.
00:05:18
Speaker
I think Melanie might be the only official professional podcaster.
00:05:23
Speaker
All right, I'm done.
00:05:24
Speaker
I got it all.
00:05:24
Speaker
Because she's already got all her stuff done and ready.
00:05:27
Speaker
Fuck yeah.
00:05:28
Speaker
Leave me alone.
00:05:29
Speaker
I re-rolled my fails last week.
00:05:33
Speaker
I have a notepad in front of me.
00:05:36
Speaker
I've got my dice tower all set up with all seven of my dice, because apparently I lost my D4 with my other dice, probably under the couch.
00:05:43
Speaker
I'm at a desk.
00:05:44
Speaker
I have an official microphone.
00:05:46
Speaker
I am like... Do you have some of the drink?
00:05:48
Speaker
I do.
00:05:49
Speaker
I have water.
00:05:51
Speaker
And I already have a snack.
00:05:52
Speaker
I already had my snack.
00:05:54
Speaker
So it was an official.
00:05:57
Speaker
And I have a brand new computer chair.
00:05:59
Speaker
So I'm all.
00:06:00
Speaker
And I got a candle.
00:06:01
Speaker
I've got a cauldron candle sitting in front of me right now.
00:06:04
Speaker
So you're bragging.
00:06:07
Speaker
I feel so shown up.
00:06:11
Speaker
I feel so under podcasted right now.
00:06:14
Speaker
I thought he was so shown and I thought he was going to go super saying or something.
00:06:20
Speaker
I'll just I'll just show you guys my setup in the group chat.
00:06:23
Speaker
All right.
00:06:23
Speaker
All right.
00:06:24
Speaker
You are.
00:06:26
Speaker
All right, Icarus.
00:06:27
Speaker
Careful.
00:06:28
Speaker
It's nice and cozy looking.
00:06:31
Speaker
OK, last episode.
00:06:34
Speaker
You guys were falling through a pit that opened up underneath your feet on the deck of Ashley's house.

Solving the Circular Cell Puzzle

00:06:43
Speaker
Fell for a few seconds before landing in a circular cell.
00:06:48
Speaker
Arthur tried to lockpick your way out of it and failed.
00:06:54
Speaker
And Ned lockpicked his way out of it.
00:06:56
Speaker
Ended up succeeding.
00:06:58
Speaker
You searched around this room here.
00:07:01
Speaker
Found that the door leading out of here was locked.
00:07:04
Speaker
So you searched around.
00:07:05
Speaker
Ended up finding a few different parts of the room that were different colors.
00:07:10
Speaker
And you quickly put together that if you interacted with all three of them at the same time, it would unlock the door.
00:07:16
Speaker
To which it did.
00:07:17
Speaker
You walked into the next room, which turned out to be a hallway.
00:07:21
Speaker
The hallway that stretched out in front of you had two doors on either side and a big door at the end.
00:07:27
Speaker
You kind of looked around for a minute before you realized...
00:07:31
Speaker
that older Samantha was gone.
00:07:34
Speaker
She somehow disappeared in the last room after you guys had searched it.
00:07:41
Speaker
So she's gone.
00:07:42
Speaker
And you looked around this room trying to figure out first off where the heck she went and then figuring out how to move forward from there.
00:07:51
Speaker
There are four doors in this room, two on each side and then the big one at the end, like I just said.
00:07:56
Speaker
Above each of the doors
00:07:58
Speaker
is a torch, and the torch is lit.

Exploring Themed Rooms

00:08:01
Speaker
Above the big door is four unlit torches.
00:08:04
Speaker
And as you guys methodically opened each door, you saw weird scenarios.
00:08:09
Speaker
So the door closest to you on the left held a surgical-looking room with a body on a table in the middle with a bunch of what looked like surgery instruments surrounding it.
00:08:18
Speaker
The second door on the left had a catwalk that...
00:08:23
Speaker
Opened up like that was right on the other side of the door.
00:08:27
Speaker
And another catwalk all the way on the other side of the room.
00:08:31
Speaker
Nothing connecting it.
00:08:32
Speaker
And a giant body of water in the middle.
00:08:36
Speaker
The far door on the right opened up to reveal six statues of different animals.
00:08:42
Speaker
And the one closer on the right opened to reveal a room full of webs.
00:08:47
Speaker
What you notice about each of these rooms is there was an unlit torch on the back wall of each of these rooms.
00:08:54
Speaker
You talked over what you planned on doing, and the last episode ended with you guys standing outside of the spider room, or the spider web room.
00:09:06
Speaker
And that's where we are now.
00:09:07
Speaker
So what do you guys want to do?
00:09:09
Speaker
So you said we're outside the spider room?
00:09:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:11
Speaker
That is where you were when we ended last week's episode, yes.
00:09:15
Speaker
Uh, nose goes...
00:09:17
Speaker
Samantha's not going in there.
00:09:18
Speaker
Fuck that shit.
00:09:20
Speaker
Ned touches his nose.
00:09:22
Speaker
She'll stand up.
00:09:22
Speaker
Arthur touches his nose quickly.
00:09:24
Speaker
Sam touches her nose as well.
00:09:26
Speaker
Ryan just flips all of you off.
00:09:30
Speaker
It's supposed to touch your nose.
00:09:32
Speaker
We already said I was going in, so you can stop teasing me about it.
00:09:37
Speaker
Yeah, and I think I'm going in with you, man.
00:09:38
Speaker
I know Arthur ain't going to go in here, and I don't think it's good if we leave one person alone.
00:09:44
Speaker
Um, no, excuse me.
00:09:45
Speaker
You're going to hold the door.
00:09:47
Speaker
I'll hold the door.
00:09:48
Speaker
If anybody's going to keep that door open, it's going to be him.
00:09:49
Speaker
I'll also hold the door.
00:09:50
Speaker
No, no, I'll hold the door.
00:09:52
Speaker
I'll stand right here.
00:09:54
Speaker
I was going to say, you said that matter of factly like I was asking a question.
00:09:57
Speaker
I was making a statement.
00:09:58
Speaker
There's no, not one person is going in any of these rooms.
00:10:02
Speaker
We have to at least have two at all times.
00:10:04
Speaker
Yeah, we could possibly go wrong.
00:10:07
Speaker
A lot.
00:10:08
Speaker
Everything.
00:10:09
Speaker
You're not supposed to answer that.
00:10:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:12
Speaker
You're supposed to be rhetorical, like you're supposed to walk into the robe.
00:10:15
Speaker
Well, first, Ryan is going to walk over and just put his foot inside the door onto the webs.
00:10:21
Speaker
Does his foot stick to it?
00:10:24
Speaker
No.
00:10:24
Speaker
Is it like springy?
00:10:26
Speaker
A little

Spider Web Room Dilemma

00:10:27
Speaker
bit.
00:10:27
Speaker
Just kind of pulls his foot out and goes, well, I didn't stick to it, so I mean, we can try and run it.
00:10:33
Speaker
How dark is the web room?
00:10:35
Speaker
You see at the top of the room...
00:10:40
Speaker
are like fluorescent tube lights.
00:10:44
Speaker
So it's well lit.
00:10:46
Speaker
Well, the whole room is covered in web too.
00:10:48
Speaker
So it's, I wouldn't say well lit, but it's lit.
00:10:53
Speaker
Hey guys, I got an idea.
00:10:58
Speaker
And Arthur takes out a book of matches.
00:11:01
Speaker
What if it is burn this fucker up?
00:11:03
Speaker
I mean, I'm definitely willing to try.
00:11:06
Speaker
You guys tried that in the last episode and there was something that stopped the fire from going into the room.
00:11:11
Speaker
What if we light it in the room?
00:11:13
Speaker
Because these book of matches is old.
00:11:15
Speaker
That's what we tried.
00:11:16
Speaker
No, he tried to shoot it through the door.
00:11:18
Speaker
Yeah, you tried to shoot it through the door.
00:11:20
Speaker
I'm not saying shooting it.
00:11:22
Speaker
We tried doing the axe body spray at Flamethrower.
00:11:26
Speaker
I just have a book of matches.
00:11:27
Speaker
What if someone goes in there?
00:11:29
Speaker
Ryan is going to put his hand in the room with his Zippo and just flick it.
00:11:36
Speaker
I don't think we ever tried that.
00:11:38
Speaker
We tried shooting it at the door, right?
00:11:41
Speaker
Or did it not work at all inside?
00:11:43
Speaker
I thought it was just outside the door.
00:11:44
Speaker
I think we have to be fully in the room for it to work.
00:11:48
Speaker
I don't think we can just stick something in there.
00:11:51
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to say you try to flick the lighter and you're not able to get it to light.
00:12:02
Speaker
Well, I mean... It's worth a shot again.
00:12:05
Speaker
Yeah, I think Sam's right.
00:12:07
Speaker
I think we have to be fully in the room to do anything, which is where I don't want to be, because if we're in the room, we can't set it on fire.
00:12:17
Speaker
I mean, you could set the end of the room on fire and then just run out.
00:12:24
Speaker
But you're very flammable.
00:12:27
Speaker
And I don't think we'd be able to outrun it.
00:12:30
Speaker
But if we also set it on fire, I'm pretty sure we're not going to get the torch we're going to need.
00:12:36
Speaker
Because if you look at the main door, there's four torches above it, if I remember correctly from the last episode.
00:12:43
Speaker
Or the recap that I just gave you five minutes ago.
00:12:46
Speaker
You know what?
00:12:46
Speaker
I already forgot that.
00:12:48
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:49
Speaker
Or the picture.
00:12:50
Speaker
Let's view 100.
00:12:52
Speaker
Where did you put the picture?
00:12:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:54
Speaker
in the maps on the discord oh i have discord closed because it was being stupid and making my computer lag anyways it was the same map i showed you this morning oh okay if we set the room on fire then we're not gonna be able to get that torch and put it with the with the door but we could kill all the spiders lord knows how many spiders are in this room i'm not going in so i'm trying to give you an option sam
00:13:22
Speaker
An option of what?

Confronting the Giant Spider

00:13:23
Speaker
An option to destroy the spiders.
00:13:26
Speaker
Yeah, but we need the torch.
00:13:29
Speaker
Well, we don't have to start with this room.
00:13:31
Speaker
We can do one of the other rooms.
00:13:33
Speaker
I'm not going to that water room.
00:13:34
Speaker
Fuck that.
00:13:36
Speaker
I'll take care of the water.
00:13:37
Speaker
Don't.
00:13:38
Speaker
It's fine.
00:13:40
Speaker
Ned eye rolls loudly, and I'm just going to step into the door.
00:13:49
Speaker
seeing that Ryan is going to follow very quickly.
00:13:52
Speaker
He doesn't want him to go in alone.
00:13:54
Speaker
Arthur tries to press against the door to make sure it stays open.
00:13:59
Speaker
The only thing I do is I keep my hand on the coping edge of the door just in case, so my hand is still sticking out into the hallway.
00:14:12
Speaker
But I step my whole body in.
00:14:15
Speaker
Ryan is not that smart and has just stepped fully in.
00:14:18
Speaker
Okay, so let me get this straight.
00:14:22
Speaker
Samantha's in the hallway.
00:14:25
Speaker
Arthur is technically in the room, but you're on the hallway side of the door.
00:14:32
Speaker
Hold on, hold on.
00:14:34
Speaker
Does it go in?
00:14:35
Speaker
Look at the map.
00:14:36
Speaker
God damn it, it does.
00:14:37
Speaker
The door opens in.
00:14:40
Speaker
You cheeky bastard.
00:14:42
Speaker
So you are technically in the room, but on the hallway side of the door.
00:14:46
Speaker
Correct?
00:14:48
Speaker
I don't like that you're asking for this type of clarification, but yeah.
00:14:53
Speaker
Ryan, you are all the way in the room.
00:14:56
Speaker
Yes.
00:14:57
Speaker
Ned, you are all the way in the room with your hand gripping the door.
00:15:03
Speaker
Correct.
00:15:04
Speaker
As Ryan gets two or three steps into the room away from the door, the door starts to close.
00:15:13
Speaker
And it is a heavy...
00:15:15
Speaker
Metal door.
00:15:17
Speaker
But I'd swole.
00:15:19
Speaker
Yeah, the door is just pushing you away as if you don't matter.
00:15:23
Speaker
Back out into the hallway.
00:15:24
Speaker
How fast is the door closing?
00:15:26
Speaker
Not fast, but not really slow.
00:15:28
Speaker
Can I do an athletics?
00:15:30
Speaker
To get into the room or to hold the door?
00:15:33
Speaker
Hold the line.
00:15:35
Speaker
You are not going to be able to hold this door.
00:15:38
Speaker
Now with that attitude.
00:15:39
Speaker
Sam just kind of like her heart kind of like sinks a little bit thinking, you know, that Ryan and Ned, oh my God, that Ryan and Ned are going to be in the room by herself or by themselves.
00:15:54
Speaker
Wow.
00:15:55
Speaker
Words are hard tonight.
00:15:57
Speaker
Well, before anything happens, Ned needs to make a decision because he's about to lose some fingers.
00:16:03
Speaker
If Ned sees that Arthur's not able to hold the door open, I'm going to just pull my hand into the room.
00:16:08
Speaker
I'm not losing an arm for that.
00:16:11
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:12
Speaker
Sam tackles Arthur into the room.
00:16:15
Speaker
Arthur, are you going to let that happen?
00:16:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's fine.
00:16:18
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:19
Speaker
That's totally fine.
00:16:22
Speaker
All right.
00:16:23
Speaker
Matt, the player, is definitely so happy about that.
00:16:27
Speaker
Okay, so Samantha tackles Arthur into the room.
00:16:31
Speaker
Ned...
00:16:31
Speaker
And Ryan, you guys are like, you guys are in the room.
00:16:34
Speaker
You backed away from the door.
00:16:36
Speaker
You see last minute before the door closes, two bodies tumble in.
00:16:41
Speaker
It's Samantha and Arthur.
00:16:42
Speaker
All four of you are in the room as the door closes and latches.
00:16:47
Speaker
And you turn around and take a look at the door.
00:16:51
Speaker
There are no handles.
00:16:52
Speaker
What the fuck?
00:16:54
Speaker
This is not OSHA regulated.
00:16:56
Speaker
You think OSHA exists here?
00:16:59
Speaker
I'm just trying to calm down, okay?
00:17:01
Speaker
Thinking of real life things.
00:17:03
Speaker
Everybody give me an alertness check.
00:17:06
Speaker
I'm alert as fuck, dude.
00:17:07
Speaker
56 on a 27.
00:17:07
Speaker
56 on 27, okay.
00:17:11
Speaker
Ryan?
00:17:12
Speaker
That is a 100.
00:17:12
Speaker
So you are really...
00:17:27
Speaker
really concerned about the fact that this door doesn't have a handle and you have no escape.
00:17:31
Speaker
You are not alert to anything else in this room.
00:17:34
Speaker
24 out of 43.
00:17:35
Speaker
Okay.
00:17:40
Speaker
The dice I chose tonight are definitely in my favor so far.
00:17:43
Speaker
That's a 13 out of 68.
00:17:47
Speaker
Damn, you're alert.
00:17:49
Speaker
69 out of 69.
00:17:50
Speaker
As Ned and Ryan are still looking at the door, Arthur and Samantha here rustling.
00:18:01
Speaker
Why did I have to be alert to this one?
00:18:03
Speaker
This is like one of her fucking fears.
00:18:05
Speaker
And you notice something weird.
00:18:10
Speaker
Oh, now we know something weird?
00:18:12
Speaker
The two of you do, yeah.
00:18:14
Speaker
Underneath the webs... This one thing has been weird.
00:18:17
Speaker
Sorry.
00:18:17
Speaker
Underneath the unlit torch, the webs look a little bit different.
00:18:24
Speaker
As if they're not covering a wall.
00:18:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:18:29
Speaker
And all of a sudden, you see emerging from behind the webs a giant, black, hairy spider...
00:18:41
Speaker
That is literally three times bigger than the ones you guys have previously fought.
00:18:49
Speaker
Samantha immediately turns around and starts banging on the door.
00:18:51
Speaker
Oh, great.
00:18:53
Speaker
Make noise.
00:18:55
Speaker
Nothing happens, but the spider sees you.
00:18:59
Speaker
Yay!
00:19:01
Speaker
Um, Sam?
00:19:02
Speaker
Arthur?
00:19:02
Speaker
Why are you guys in here?
00:19:03
Speaker
I thought you were gonna stay out there.
00:19:06
Speaker
Uh, pressing matters.
00:19:08
Speaker
Look over here!
00:19:09
Speaker
And I, like, let him grab his face and, like, point it towards death.
00:19:14
Speaker
Oh.
00:19:15
Speaker
Yeah, that is much more pressing.
00:19:17
Speaker
Um, fuck.
00:19:19
Speaker
You guys also notice that because the room is covered in webs,
00:19:24
Speaker
this giant heavy thing that should be making thundering steps, thundering noises as it steps, is able to move silently around the room.
00:19:38
Speaker
Fantastic.
00:19:40
Speaker
Oh, great.
00:19:41
Speaker
But Samantha and Arthur, with that alertness check, you also notice that off to your right is a table.
00:19:51
Speaker
And that table has some bladed weapons on it.
00:19:54
Speaker
Why not?
00:19:55
Speaker
You know, like shotguns.
00:19:58
Speaker
Arthur, give me that matchbook.
00:20:00
Speaker
Arthur hands in the matchbook as he goes for the weapons.
00:20:04
Speaker
While they're running towards that table, I'm going to kind of stay in the middle, keeping a little bit separated, and I'm going to see if I can't swizzle some of the webs onto my broken baseball bat.
00:20:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:18
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:21
Speaker
Ryan is following Sam and them.
00:20:25
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:26
Speaker
I think you know where I'm going with my baseball bat and webs thing.
00:20:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:34
Speaker
Why don't you give me a strength check?
00:20:43
Speaker
See if you're able to actually pull up some of these webs.
00:20:46
Speaker
Sure.
00:20:46
Speaker
Sure.
00:20:50
Speaker
16 on a 70.
00:20:52
Speaker
Nice.
00:20:53
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:54
Speaker
Yeah, you're able to get some on there.
00:20:58
Speaker
I'm just, like I said, I'm going to just keep doing it cotton canning and trying to get as much on there as I can without it being too heavy to swing around one-handed.
00:21:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:21:08
Speaker
And then you said the other three of you are going to the table?
00:21:11
Speaker
Yes.
00:21:11
Speaker
Yes.
00:21:12
Speaker
Get some whip yons.
00:21:14
Speaker
There are...
00:21:17
Speaker
Not swords, but like combat knives.
00:21:24
Speaker
Like the knives you see in Resident Evil, like the ones that like Shiva and them have.
00:21:32
Speaker
Yeah, actually, exactly.
00:21:34
Speaker
OK, cool.
00:21:36
Speaker
You grab one.
00:21:38
Speaker
Yeah, same.
00:21:38
Speaker
I grab I grab one as well.
00:21:41
Speaker
Ryan will grab two of them.
00:21:42
Speaker
Is this all that's on the table?
00:21:44
Speaker
Yes.
00:21:45
Speaker
So, like, how many are there in general?
00:21:49
Speaker
Eh, you can see, like, five or six of them.
00:21:51
Speaker
Oh, then I'll grab two as well.
00:21:52
Speaker
Okay.
00:21:58
Speaker
Then at that point, we are going to enter combat.
00:22:07
Speaker
Ooh, okay.

Combat with the Spider

00:22:09
Speaker
That did not end well for me, but that's fine.
00:22:12
Speaker
So...
00:22:14
Speaker
Let me pull up my notes, because in my notes I have combat order.
00:22:18
Speaker
I know Arthur is first.
00:22:22
Speaker
Alright, how far away is the spider?
00:22:24
Speaker
30 feet, maybe.
00:22:26
Speaker
And you said, like, is it the walls of, or the quote-unquote wall of webs was not really on a wall.
00:22:36
Speaker
Is that the same for the ground as well?
00:22:39
Speaker
That was just for the wall underneath the...
00:22:44
Speaker
torch because that had the cave that the spider came out of yeah i just didn't know if there was like pitfalls or anything like that nope ah how far away is the torch uh i guess i actually sorry no uh go ahead i guess i was just wanting to know i'm looking at the map technically where did the spider come out on the map
00:23:13
Speaker
from underneath the torch.
00:23:16
Speaker
So the spider is between you guys and the torch, yep.
00:23:22
Speaker
I hate to, I'm not gonna make a torch.
00:23:25
Speaker
I've got knives, I've got jerky.
00:23:30
Speaker
I'm gonna throw a thing of jerky to maybe distract the spider for one turn.
00:23:40
Speaker
I'll throw it to like the left.
00:23:42
Speaker
Like if you're looking, like we're looking into the room, I want to throw it to the left side of the room.
00:23:47
Speaker
What's that?
00:23:49
Speaker
You think that'll work, guys?
00:23:52
Speaker
It's something.
00:23:54
Speaker
Ugh, I don't know what to do.
00:23:56
Speaker
I'm going to tell you right now, it doesn't work.
00:23:58
Speaker
Yeah, I figured.
00:23:59
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:00
Speaker
That was called a hail jerky.
00:24:06
Speaker
Well, your hail jerky didn't hail work.
00:24:09
Speaker
It's a hail turkey didn't hail work, you're gonna get it.
00:24:12
Speaker
That didn't work with a hail.
00:24:14
Speaker
I'll be honest, I don't know what to do.
00:24:16
Speaker
I am going to just prepare myself for when the spider comes near.
00:24:21
Speaker
Okay, so you're basically going to prepare an attack?
00:24:25
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:24:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:29
Speaker
Samantha, it is your turn.
00:24:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:35
Speaker
Let's see here.
00:24:38
Speaker
So she has a combat knife.
00:24:39
Speaker
So are we able to cut through these webs pretty easily?
00:24:44
Speaker
Or are they thick and sticky where if you cut through them, then they're just going to get gunked up in the knife?
00:24:50
Speaker
So they are thick.
00:24:51
Speaker
They're definitely thick, but they're not sticky because you guys are able to move around without much of a problem.
00:25:03
Speaker
So like you're not sticking to the webs, but they are.
00:25:06
Speaker
I mean, you see the size of the spider in front of you.
00:25:09
Speaker
It's still visible.
00:25:11
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:25:11
Speaker
OK, so it hasn't hidden yet from us to climb through these webs.
00:25:18
Speaker
No, because I rolled for the spider's decks and it goes last.
00:25:20
Speaker
So you're lucky.
00:25:23
Speaker
So can I. Start cutting away at the webs that are near us to kind of like.
00:25:33
Speaker
lessen not literally lessen the blow but like um give it less of a chance to get close to us I mean you can cut at the webs but it's not going to alter the spider's path really because I mean spiders can walk on things that aren't webs it's just not going to be able to do it silently
00:26:04
Speaker
I'm kind of at a loss of what to do here as well, so I have no clue what to do.
00:26:10
Speaker
I guess I'll just kind of cut away the webs that are near us.
00:26:16
Speaker
Maybe try and get closer to a wall, see if there's anything else we need.
00:26:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:24
Speaker
So you're just moving to the wall.
00:26:26
Speaker
Yeah, trying to like she's still keeping an eye on the gigantic, you know, man eating spider.
00:26:33
Speaker
But she is kind of slicing away at the webs to see if like if she can get to the wall to see if there's anything that will help them defeat the spider.
00:26:45
Speaker
Like a can of raid or something.
00:26:49
Speaker
Yes, one can of raid for this giant spider.
00:26:54
Speaker
A large can of Raid.
00:26:59
Speaker
All right.
00:27:00
Speaker
Ned, it's your turn.
00:27:02
Speaker
All right.
00:27:03
Speaker
Ned's going to go ahead and pull out a couple matches, like three or four of them, and just try and strike all of them at one time on the strike strip.
00:27:12
Speaker
Do I get fire?
00:27:15
Speaker
Well, that's going to be up to your dice.
00:27:19
Speaker
I want you to roll me...
00:27:23
Speaker
Athletics.
00:27:24
Speaker
Athletics?
00:27:25
Speaker
Okay.
00:27:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:31
Speaker
61 on a 30.
00:27:31
Speaker
Then no.
00:27:35
Speaker
They don't like.
00:27:37
Speaker
Is the table on the right side of the room or the left?
00:27:40
Speaker
Right side.
00:27:42
Speaker
Ned's going to just shimmy over a little bit to the left, and he's going to try and pull out some more matches and just get ready to try and strike a couple more.
00:27:51
Speaker
He's going to keep trying to get a fire going.
00:27:54
Speaker
I'm not going to count striking matches as a full turn.
00:27:58
Speaker
So if you wanted to do, like, I'll let you try it one more time.
00:28:03
Speaker
Can I roll it under intelligence?
00:28:04
Speaker
I hold my other hand up and try and make sure that just no breathing, no anything can get on him.
00:28:11
Speaker
I was thinking more like you drug it too hard in the match snack.
00:28:17
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:28:19
Speaker
So athletics again?
00:28:23
Speaker
You can do athletics or decks, whichever one's better for you.
00:28:26
Speaker
I will do decks.
00:28:27
Speaker
Got a 71 on a 65.
00:28:30
Speaker
I'll burn six luck to get that on the nose.
00:28:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:35
Speaker
Roll me a 50-50.
00:28:41
Speaker
27.
00:28:43
Speaker
So you're able to light a fire.
00:28:47
Speaker
I light my torch.
00:28:48
Speaker
And you're lucky because by the time you drop the matches, you did put the fire out.
00:28:54
Speaker
So was I able to light my spider web torch?
00:28:57
Speaker
Oh yeah, it goes up real quick.
00:28:59
Speaker
Good.
00:29:01
Speaker
But I'll tell you right now, with how flammable spider webs are, it ain't going to be lit very long.
00:29:08
Speaker
I didn't assume so.
00:29:09
Speaker
So like I said, if the table and they're all off to the right, I'm going to kind of strafe off to the left with my torch, trying to stay equidistant to the thing so that we're all about the same distance away from it.
00:29:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:29:24
Speaker
And that'll be about all I got for this one.
00:29:30
Speaker
Okay.
00:29:32
Speaker
that would put us to ryan's turn ryan seeing that ned is got a fire going and is moving to the left is going to start just moving along the right wall okay does the spider look like it's looking at either of us yeah that's actually nice that you heard it uh follow its eyes are following the torch
00:29:56
Speaker
Is it like turned that way or is it just kind of looking at him?
00:30:01
Speaker
As of right now, it's just kind of looking at him, but it, Ned does have the spider's attention right this second.
00:30:08
Speaker
All right.
00:30:08
Speaker
Then Ryan is just going to keep kind of softly shuffling, hugging that, uh, right wall.
00:30:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:15
Speaker
Roll me a stealth at advantage.
00:30:20
Speaker
Uh, Robin, remind me again what advantages.
00:30:24
Speaker
It's the 10 dice, right?
00:30:26
Speaker
Yeah, the 10 spot, you roll twice and whatever one works better for you.
00:30:31
Speaker
You're going to roll against the spider's alertness at a disadvantage.
00:30:38
Speaker
And I don't think I need disadvantage.
00:30:42
Speaker
That was a 43 on a 53.
00:30:45
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:45
Speaker
He got an 87 on a 60.
00:30:50
Speaker
Oh.
00:30:50
Speaker
So how far along the wall do I make it?
00:30:53
Speaker
I mean, you can make it right up next to him if you want.
00:30:56
Speaker
Uh, yeah.
00:30:59
Speaker
There's not too much of a movement discrepancy in Delta Green as much as there is like in D&D.
00:31:06
Speaker
Especially in a situation like this where the room is not that big to begin with.
00:31:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:16
Speaker
Is there any room to like step around the spider to get to the back wall or is it too big?
00:31:23
Speaker
It's too big.
00:31:24
Speaker
It's
00:31:26
Speaker
So it has started to emerge out of it.
00:31:28
Speaker
It has not fully emerged out of that wall yet.
00:31:32
Speaker
So like, Oh, it's back two legs on are still in that cave coming out.
00:31:39
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:40
Speaker
How high up is this torch on the wall?
00:31:43
Speaker
Pretty high.
00:31:44
Speaker
You're talking like a 15 foot ceiling and it's pretty damn close to the top.
00:31:50
Speaker
Where would the back of the spider come up to on the wall?
00:31:54
Speaker
Probably about the eight foot mark.
00:31:58
Speaker
Um, Ryan is just going to wait then.
00:32:04
Speaker
He's going to wait to see what the spider does at the moment.
00:32:08
Speaker
It is the spider's turn, and it is going to... Do nothing.
00:32:16
Speaker
No, it is going to scream, that unearthly scream that the other spiders did, but, you know, louder.
00:32:21
Speaker
And it is going to charge at Ned.
00:32:24
Speaker
Okay.
00:32:30
Speaker
What the fuck was that?
00:32:33
Speaker
That was the spider scream.
00:32:36
Speaker
It sounded like a dying chihuahua.
00:32:41
Speaker
I thought it sounded like a really sad kazoo.
00:32:50
Speaker
We made your spider less scary.
00:32:53
Speaker
I mean, sure.
00:32:55
Speaker
Until, you know, right now that it takes a bite at you.
00:32:59
Speaker
Fire stick.
00:33:02
Speaker
Mmm.
00:33:03
Speaker
You're lucky.
00:33:04
Speaker
Fire stick.
00:33:05
Speaker
Rolled a 65 on a 60.
00:33:08
Speaker
So it managed to miss.
00:33:13
Speaker
Get away from me.
00:33:14
Speaker
And I'm just swinging the fire stick around trying not to set the webs on fire around me.
00:33:19
Speaker
Okay.
00:33:20
Speaker
Roll me a dex.
00:33:22
Speaker
What?
00:33:22
Speaker
No.
00:33:22
Speaker
You're not supposed to make me roll things.
00:33:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:26
Speaker
This is Delta Green, bitch.
00:33:28
Speaker
Off the table.
00:33:29
Speaker
Only counts if it's a crit.
00:33:32
Speaker
Uh, 45 on a 70.
00:33:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:33:35
Speaker
Next time I'm not calling Dex.
00:33:36
Speaker
I'm gonna call something else.
00:33:37
Speaker
Or, sorry.
00:33:38
Speaker
65.
00:33:38
Speaker
Dex 30, 65.
00:33:39
Speaker
Still a pass.
00:33:43
Speaker
You're lucky.
00:33:45
Speaker
There's one wrong move with that torch and this whole room is going up and this whole battle's gonna change.
00:33:52
Speaker
Top of the round,

Chaos and Fire Spread

00:33:53
Speaker
Arthur.
00:33:53
Speaker
It's your turn.
00:33:55
Speaker
How far in is the spider?
00:33:58
Speaker
Spider's all the way in the room now.
00:34:00
Speaker
It, uh...
00:34:01
Speaker
lunged in to take a bite at Ned.
00:34:05
Speaker
And how big would it be like if you're looking at the map?
00:34:08
Speaker
Let's say like a top-down angle.
00:34:12
Speaker
Like a top-down angle?
00:34:13
Speaker
Let me look at the map.
00:34:14
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:34:15
Speaker
So, um, if you sectioned it off into quadrants, okay, and quadrants are obviously four.
00:34:23
Speaker
If you made it into a grid of four, it would take up one-fourth.
00:34:27
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:27
Speaker
That's actually very useful.
00:34:29
Speaker
There you go.
00:34:30
Speaker
Um...
00:34:32
Speaker
The spider's fucking massive.
00:34:34
Speaker
That's what I'm getting at.
00:34:35
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:37
Speaker
Can, like, our knives stick into the wall, or is it just, like, a thin layer of web?
00:34:43
Speaker
Oh, no, it's a very thick layer of web.
00:34:47
Speaker
Okay, so maybe, maybe the plan is to sneak over there, and then fucking cliffhanger climb with knives.
00:35:00
Speaker
So Arthur's also gonna try sneaking on the right
00:35:02
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:04
Speaker
Roll me a stealth.
00:35:07
Speaker
Ed advantage, sorry, because he's still looking at Ned.
00:35:13
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:35:16
Speaker
I'm glad I got advantage.
00:35:18
Speaker
Ned's going to be against his alaytoness again.
00:35:21
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:35:23
Speaker
Just realized, guys, I'm not a ninja.
00:35:28
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
00:35:32
Speaker
I don't even have enough luck to make this work.
00:35:35
Speaker
Oh, that's bad.
00:35:37
Speaker
Yeah, 78 out of 10.
00:35:40
Speaker
Ooh.
00:35:41
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:43
Speaker
And at disadvantage, the spider got a 21 on a 60.
00:35:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:50
Speaker
So you try and sneak and your foot catches on one of the webs and you face plant and in an instant, the spider turns and stares at you.
00:36:00
Speaker
meow i'm not what the i'm not a person uh ignore me oh wow um it just that reminds me of wind waker you remember that uh that mission in wind waker where you're trying to sneak up on the
00:36:25
Speaker
one person like they're sneaking through town you're trying to follow anytime you get close to being caught link just goes meow oh i was trying to be more like team four star or he said quack and he's trying to be like oh yeah it's definitely a duck and not uh not anything else yeah i'll have to pull up that clip to show you mel that was definitely something that happened in wind waker but yes i i see where you're going for two matt but yeah um
00:36:54
Speaker
No, the spider's staring straight at you.
00:36:57
Speaker
Oh, fun.
00:36:59
Speaker
And now it's Samantha's turn.
00:37:01
Speaker
Do I find anything as I'm chopping through the web heading for the wall?
00:37:05
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:37:06
Speaker
I forgot about that.
00:37:06
Speaker
Uh-huh.
00:37:08
Speaker
I can't even roll like a search or anything like that.
00:37:10
Speaker
You're just going to tell me no.
00:37:12
Speaker
I already know what's in this room.
00:37:14
Speaker
Well, no shit, Sherlock.
00:37:16
Speaker
You're the goddamn DM.
00:37:17
Speaker
But do I find anything in this room?
00:37:20
Speaker
Well, if I already know what's in this room and I already know that there's nothing between the web and the wall and you're hacking away at the web and the wall, then no, you're not going to find anything.
00:37:31
Speaker
Just kind of how that works.
00:37:33
Speaker
Roll a search to find anything else.
00:37:36
Speaker
Sure.
00:37:36
Speaker
Roll me a search.
00:37:39
Speaker
I don't know what my search is.
00:37:40
Speaker
Hang on.
00:37:41
Speaker
Okay.
00:37:41
Speaker
I don't find anything else.
00:37:43
Speaker
What'd you roll?
00:37:45
Speaker
I rolled a 66 on a 26.
00:37:48
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:37:49
Speaker
All right.
00:37:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:50
Speaker
No.
00:37:53
Speaker
No what?
00:37:55
Speaker
You don't find anything.
00:37:57
Speaker
Then I don't know what to do.
00:38:02
Speaker
Well, let me say this.
00:38:04
Speaker
Talking is a free action.
00:38:06
Speaker
Talking is a free action.
00:38:10
Speaker
There is a thing in the room that clearly wants to kill you, and you have something pokey.
00:38:15
Speaker
Sam isn't going anywhere near the fucking spider.
00:38:18
Speaker
She's terrified of it, which is why she's trying to find something to kill it and find a way out.
00:38:25
Speaker
Fair enough.
00:38:26
Speaker
Okay.
00:38:28
Speaker
So she's just going to keep hacking away at the webs and start heading towards the unlit torch.
00:38:35
Speaker
You know what?
00:38:36
Speaker
No.
00:38:39
Speaker
You are terrified of spiders.
00:38:40
Speaker
Uh-huh.
00:38:41
Speaker
Uh-huh.
00:38:41
Speaker
Which is why she's trying to get away from it.
00:38:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:44
Speaker
Roll me a sanity check.
00:38:45
Speaker
fucking hell okay hang on 46 out of 67 46 out of 67 take two sand damage so are you just going to keep hacking away at the wall yes I'm so first of all do I make it to the wall like am I not yet no I'm going to keep going for the wall then and then once I get to the wall she's going to go like along the wall towards the unlit torch okay
00:39:14
Speaker
So she kind of always has something on her.
00:39:17
Speaker
Ryan, which way did you go?
00:39:20
Speaker
I went on the right along the wall going towards the torch.
00:39:24
Speaker
So she will always have the wall on her left then.
00:39:27
Speaker
So she knows nothing's going to at least come from that way.
00:39:30
Speaker
You are also on the right hand side.
00:39:33
Speaker
Could have swore I went to the left.
00:39:36
Speaker
In my brain I went to the left.
00:39:37
Speaker
Maybe I didn't say that out loud.
00:39:40
Speaker
Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:39:41
Speaker
You guys were also listening.
00:39:42
Speaker
Did she say let?
00:39:43
Speaker
I could have swore she said she went to the right, the same side the table was on.
00:39:46
Speaker
Yes.
00:39:48
Speaker
Oh, I didn't know the table was at the right.
00:39:50
Speaker
Okay, sure.
00:39:51
Speaker
Then everything on is on her right.
00:39:53
Speaker
Okay.
00:39:54
Speaker
That'll put us in Ned's turn.
00:39:57
Speaker
So this thing is turned around and is now looking at Arthur?
00:40:01
Speaker
Yes.
00:40:02
Speaker
Ned's going to go ahead and shout across the room, Hey, hey, keep cutting the web.
00:40:08
Speaker
It can feel when you guys are hitting it.
00:40:10
Speaker
When Arthur fell, it turned around right away.
00:40:12
Speaker
And I'm going to shove my flaming half pokey stick bat up in this thing's abdomen.
00:40:19
Speaker
I want to shove it right in its web maker.
00:40:22
Speaker
I didn't think you were going to say abdomen.
00:40:24
Speaker
The smile on my face right now is so big.
00:40:29
Speaker
I want you to roll me.
00:40:32
Speaker
I want you to roll me an attack.
00:40:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:40:39
Speaker
Melee weapons.
00:40:40
Speaker
Yep.
00:40:41
Speaker
Hurrah.
00:40:45
Speaker
28 on a 30.
00:40:45
Speaker
It's going up its ass.
00:40:50
Speaker
Excellent.
00:40:52
Speaker
Roll me a luck check.
00:40:54
Speaker
Oh, my luck just recently went down.
00:40:58
Speaker
Why'd you say it's not sure?
00:40:59
Speaker
27 on a 79.
00:41:02
Speaker
Cool, I'm also gonna roll a luck check for the spider.
00:41:06
Speaker
Just a 50-50.
00:41:07
Speaker
Oh.
00:41:11
Speaker
I'm a cauterize your asshole.
00:41:13
Speaker
That's disappointing.
00:41:15
Speaker
For who?
00:41:18
Speaker
Well, first off for the spider, second off for you guys, you are indeed able to stab it into the spider.
00:41:28
Speaker
So here's what I want you to do.
00:41:29
Speaker
I want you to go ahead and roll damage.
00:41:32
Speaker
What would the damage be for this because it's on fire and not a whole bat anymore?
00:41:37
Speaker
So I'm going to call it the same as a combat dagger, which is 1d4 plus 2.
00:41:44
Speaker
But instead of plus 2, I'm going to let you add plus 4 to make up for the fire.
00:41:52
Speaker
Okay.
00:41:53
Speaker
Alright.
00:41:54
Speaker
That is a 1.
00:41:56
Speaker
So 5 total.
00:41:58
Speaker
5 total.
00:42:00
Speaker
And you
00:42:01
Speaker
pierce it straight into the spider.
00:42:05
Speaker
Yes.
00:42:05
Speaker
I'm expecting the fire to go out as I shove it into him.
00:42:09
Speaker
Oh, you're expecting very incorrectly.
00:42:13
Speaker
Hooray!
00:42:14
Speaker
That's what the luck check was for.
00:42:16
Speaker
As you pierce it into the spider.
00:42:21
Speaker
Remember, I said it's a big, black, hairy spider.
00:42:26
Speaker
Yep.
00:42:26
Speaker
Yep.
00:42:30
Speaker
The spider's hair catches on fire.
00:42:34
Speaker
I'm literally making like a disgusted face right now.
00:42:37
Speaker
You hear this unearthly scream.
00:42:45
Speaker
Unearthly.
00:42:50
Speaker
Does this spider have a kazoo stuck in his throat?
00:42:53
Speaker
Unearthly.
00:42:53
Speaker
No, it's in its eyes.
00:42:59
Speaker
Now we're going to play a fun little game.
00:43:01
Speaker
It's called Let's Roll a D4 and see how many turns it's going to take before this entire room is up in flames.
00:43:08
Speaker
And that, my friends, is a two.
00:43:11
Speaker
You have two rounds from this moment to figure out what you're going to do to not be caught in the fire of this room.
00:43:22
Speaker
Well, this was a good podcast.
00:43:24
Speaker
It was nice knowing all of you.
00:43:29
Speaker
Guys, guys, cut around.
00:43:31
Speaker
Get off of the web.
00:43:32
Speaker
Get that away from you.
00:43:35
Speaker
Don't let the fire spread to you.
00:43:38
Speaker
With the spider turning around and stuff, is it away from the hole it emerged out of?
00:43:45
Speaker
It is away from the hole, yes.
00:43:47
Speaker
Would Ryan be able to look into the hole?
00:43:51
Speaker
If you get closer to the hole, then yes.
00:43:54
Speaker
Yeah, he's going to do that then.
00:43:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:43:56
Speaker
Okay.
00:43:57
Speaker
Um, not going for stealth at all, because this spider seems like it has bigger problems.
00:44:01
Speaker
Uh-huh.
00:44:03
Speaker
What do I see in the hole?
00:44:05
Speaker
What are you trying to find in the hole?
00:44:07
Speaker
Uh, he's mostly trying to see if there's any webs inside the hole.
00:44:11
Speaker
There are no webs in the hole.
00:44:14
Speaker
He is gonna turn around and shout, guys, there's no webs in its hidey hole.
00:44:19
Speaker
We need to get over here.
00:44:20
Speaker
Go, go, go, go.
00:44:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:44:22
Speaker
Are you gonna try to get in there?
00:44:26
Speaker
No.
00:44:28
Speaker
Ryan is going to move back to the right corner.
00:44:32
Speaker
Okay.
00:44:34
Speaker
And the spider, I'm assuming, looks like it's freaking out.
00:44:38
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:44:39
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:44:40
Speaker
I mean, it's kind of on fire.
00:44:41
Speaker
It makes sense.
00:44:44
Speaker
Does the spider look like it's going to move in any direction or is it just kind of spinning a circle and freaking out?
00:44:51
Speaker
Oh, well, after your turn is the spider's turn, and that's when that will be determined.
00:44:57
Speaker
Alright, cool.
00:44:58
Speaker
Ryan is going to pull back an arm and throw one of his combat knives.
00:45:04
Speaker
Preferably like towards the face area.
00:45:08
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:09
Speaker
Roll me.
00:45:12
Speaker
Damn, there's no like throw.
00:45:16
Speaker
I'd assume it'd fall under melee weapons.
00:45:20
Speaker
Otherwise.
00:45:20
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I guess.
00:45:22
Speaker
Because firearms doesn't really make sense.
00:45:25
Speaker
No, I was wondering if I should do melee weapons or if I should just do a strength check.
00:45:32
Speaker
I mean, I'll take either one.
00:45:35
Speaker
Or athletics.
00:45:36
Speaker
Athletics could work, too.
00:45:38
Speaker
Yeah, just do melee weapons.
00:45:39
Speaker
That's fine.
00:45:40
Speaker
All right.
00:45:44
Speaker
Oh.
00:45:45
Speaker
Hey, that is a 50 on a 50.
00:45:47
Speaker
Nice.
00:45:47
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:52
Speaker
Yeah, so roll your damage, which for a combat dagger is a 1d4 plus 2.
00:46:00
Speaker
All right.
00:46:03
Speaker
That is a 2, so that is 4 damage.
00:46:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:46:07
Speaker
All right.
00:46:09
Speaker
All right.
00:46:11
Speaker
Give me just a moment.
00:46:13
Speaker
Yep.
00:46:14
Speaker
I'm just doing a little bit of research just to see.
00:46:17
Speaker
So it's the beginning of the spider's turn.
00:46:19
Speaker
He's going to take his fire damage, which is a d6 of damage.
00:46:23
Speaker
That was a four.
00:46:24
Speaker
So he's going to take four more damage from the fire from being on fire.
00:46:29
Speaker
And he's just going to kind of flail.
00:46:33
Speaker
But Ned, since you are right there, I need a dodge from you against his...
00:46:41
Speaker
what would essentially i guess be an unarmed strike against his flail yeah yeah 47 on a 30. oh he got a 70 on a 30. surprisingly enough spiders are not great at unarmed things so you are able to get out of the way not get hit by a flailing spider leg
00:47:05
Speaker
And that is going to be its turn.
00:47:06
Speaker
Back up to the top of the round to Mr. Gooseburg.
00:47:12
Speaker
So Arthur is going to try to run to the cave.
00:47:18
Speaker
Okay.
00:47:19
Speaker
You're able to run to the cave with no problem.
00:47:24
Speaker
Is there anything on the ground or anything?
00:47:26
Speaker
It's just webbing?
00:47:28
Speaker
Yeah, it's just webbing.
00:47:30
Speaker
I'm going to wait in the cave to...
00:47:33
Speaker
before the fire goes out, I wanna wait.
00:47:37
Speaker
So, prepare my daggers.
00:47:39
Speaker
So you're going into the cave?
00:47:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:47:44
Speaker
Give me an alertness check.
00:47:45
Speaker
I'm so alert.
00:47:46
Speaker
Oh, nevermind.
00:47:47
Speaker
That is a 13 out of 43.
00:47:51
Speaker
I thought it was a 73 out of 43.
00:48:03
Speaker
Okay.
00:48:05
Speaker
In the back of the cave, you see something that Ryan was not able to see.
00:48:13
Speaker
You know what?
00:48:13
Speaker
Everybody else take off your headsets for a moment.
00:48:16
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:48:16
Speaker
No.
00:48:17
Speaker
Everyone stay.
00:48:18
Speaker
If you leave, it's going to get horrifying.
00:48:21
Speaker
Good luck.
00:48:22
Speaker
No.
00:48:37
Speaker
I look away.
00:48:37
Speaker
Okay, so you go into the cave and you're in there by yourself.
00:48:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:49
Speaker
In the back of the cave against the back wall, you see something that Ryan was not able to see.
00:48:56
Speaker
And you see 42 more spiders staring at... No, I'm kidding.
00:49:03
Speaker
I'm kidding.
00:49:03
Speaker
That's a joke.
00:49:03
Speaker
That's a joke.
00:49:04
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:49:04
Speaker
I was like, oh my god!
00:49:08
Speaker
No, you see...webs.
00:49:14
Speaker
It looks like something is webbed to the wall.
00:49:17
Speaker
I'll get closer.
00:49:19
Speaker
See what it is.
00:49:19
Speaker
Okay.
00:49:22
Speaker
It looks human in size.
00:49:24
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:49:24
Speaker
I'm gonna try to cut it open.
00:49:26
Speaker
Like, not cut it open.
00:49:27
Speaker
Like, you know what I mean?
00:49:29
Speaker
Cut around the sides.
00:49:29
Speaker
Yeah, cut the web.
00:49:30
Speaker
Yeah, cut the web.
00:49:31
Speaker
Not gutted.
00:49:32
Speaker
Okay.
00:49:34
Speaker
What part of the body are you gonna try and cut around?
00:49:38
Speaker
The head.
00:49:38
Speaker
The head.
00:49:39
Speaker
Okay.
00:49:41
Speaker
You start cutting and cutting and cutting and cutting.
00:49:45
Speaker
And you're being very careful kind of, you know, cutting around the outline.
00:49:50
Speaker
And you notice as you're cutting that you do see a spot.
00:49:55
Speaker
It's not completely covered on the face right around the mouth nose area.
00:49:59
Speaker
This is like a decayed body or like a living person?
00:50:05
Speaker
No, it looks like a living person.
00:50:06
Speaker
Looks like that was specifically done to not suffocate whatever was webbed to the wall.
00:50:15
Speaker
It's concerning that the spider has that type of intellect.
00:50:21
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:50:23
Speaker
I want to try to cut off the webbing to see who it is.
00:50:28
Speaker
You cut off the webbing, and that's where we're going to end this episode.
00:50:32
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:50:33
Speaker
I'm kidding.
00:50:33
Speaker
I'm kidding.
00:50:34
Speaker
I'm kidding.
00:50:36
Speaker
I was fine with that, but I was like, God damn it.
00:50:42
Speaker
You cut off the webbing, and you see unconscious webbed to the wall in front of you, still alive, still breathing, is Ashley.
00:50:54
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:50:56
Speaker
And I'm going to go ahead and get everyone else back here real quick.
00:50:58
Speaker
Yeah, because you probably are.
00:51:00
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:01
Speaker
Oh no, I'm not ending the episode yet.
00:51:03
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:51:03
Speaker
I was like, I thought you were going to bring it back.
00:51:05
Speaker
I'm like, and that's how it ends.
00:51:07
Speaker
Nope, not yet.
00:51:09
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:10
Speaker
Give me just a moment.
00:51:10
Speaker
Bake.
00:51:10
Speaker
Hello.
00:51:11
Speaker
Hello.
00:51:32
Speaker
Okay, Matt is still alive and he's not crying.
00:51:35
Speaker
No, it's... I mean Matt, not Arthur.
00:51:39
Speaker
Yeah, we'll see.
00:51:44
Speaker
We'll see what happens.
00:51:46
Speaker
Yeah, it's only one more turn until the whole room's on fire.
00:51:48
Speaker
It'll be well lit then.
00:51:51
Speaker
Good news, everyone.
00:51:52
Speaker
The torch is going to be lit.
00:51:55
Speaker
I mean, yeah, you're not wrong.
00:51:57
Speaker
Okay, y'all ready?
00:51:59
Speaker
Y'all ready for this?
00:51:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:52:00
Speaker
All right.
00:52:02
Speaker
Everybody's back.
00:52:04
Speaker
Arthur, I forgot to tell you to roll sanity.
00:52:10
Speaker
Oh, by the way, did you go crazy?
00:52:13
Speaker
Let's see.
00:52:17
Speaker
God damn it.
00:52:18
Speaker
That's twice I rolled this.
00:52:19
Speaker
Try and fall off.
00:52:22
Speaker
There we go.
00:52:23
Speaker
This is the one that counts.
00:52:25
Speaker
This is...
00:52:27
Speaker
This is a 56 out of 47.
00:52:29
Speaker
That's okay.
00:52:31
Speaker
It's only a zero one.
00:52:32
Speaker
So just take one.
00:52:35
Speaker
I'm dead.
00:52:37
Speaker
Okay.
00:52:38
Speaker
I mean, after what you saw, you might be.
00:52:41
Speaker
Okay.
00:52:42
Speaker
So that was Arthur's turn.
00:52:47
Speaker
On to Samantha.

Rescue Mission: Finding Ashley

00:52:49
Speaker
Okay.
00:52:52
Speaker
So, excuse me.
00:52:57
Speaker
Sam was by Ryan and Arthur, right?
00:53:00
Speaker
Going along the right side of the wall.
00:53:02
Speaker
Mm hmm.
00:53:03
Speaker
OK, so she would have run when Ryan told her to.
00:53:09
Speaker
So she would have run up to the mouth of the cave as well.
00:53:12
Speaker
But I mean, I'd probably not into it like Arthur did.
00:53:16
Speaker
I mean, that's up to you.
00:53:17
Speaker
Like I said before, I'm not really restricting movement in this room because it's not that big of a room.
00:53:23
Speaker
Uh huh.
00:53:24
Speaker
So, I mean, you could go into the cave if you want.
00:53:27
Speaker
I don't know if I want to.
00:53:30
Speaker
Not after Matt just hit a private scene.
00:53:33
Speaker
How far has the fire spread?
00:53:35
Speaker
Like if I'm looking at the map you gave us.
00:53:38
Speaker
I will tell you that at the beginning of your turn.
00:53:42
Speaker
Like I said, you had two turns before it spread throughout the entire room.
00:53:47
Speaker
So we'll just use rule of thumb here.
00:53:50
Speaker
By the time your turn comes around, that'll be one full turn.
00:53:52
Speaker
That'll be halfway through the room.
00:53:55
Speaker
Okay, so...
00:53:58
Speaker
Samantha runs over to the mouth of the cave.
00:54:03
Speaker
I guess she'll go in since there's no webs in there, but she'll go in behind Arthur.
00:54:09
Speaker
Like kind of like like hiding behind him because she's afraid that there's going to be more spiders.
00:54:17
Speaker
OK, I need Nick and Breck to take off your headsets.
00:54:25
Speaker
Like how Nick had off before he was going to say it.
00:54:28
Speaker
Yeah, it was that as well.
00:54:41
Speaker
Samantha, you walk into the cave and you see Arthur with a knife in his hand sawing at something on the wall, frantically sawing at something.
00:54:54
Speaker
Arthur?
00:54:57
Speaker
What you doing?
00:54:58
Speaker
It's Ashley!
00:54:59
Speaker
She's on the wall!
00:55:02
Speaker
What?
00:55:02
Speaker
What do you mean Ashley's on the wall?
00:55:04
Speaker
Help me!
00:55:06
Speaker
Sam will run over and are we able to actually see that it's Ashley or does he just think it's Ashley?
00:55:14
Speaker
At this point he has gotten her head free and it is Ashley, yes.
00:55:19
Speaker
Okay, so she'll see that it's Ashley and run over immediately and start trying to cut away the webs, I'm assuming, right?
00:55:28
Speaker
Yes.
00:55:30
Speaker
I'm getting, like, Lord of the Rings Frodo flashbacks here right now.
00:55:33
Speaker
I know.
00:55:34
Speaker
The same.
00:55:37
Speaker
Why?
00:55:37
Speaker
Because Frodo got wrapped up in a spider web.
00:55:40
Speaker
In a giant spider web.
00:55:42
Speaker
And was being poisoned.
00:55:44
Speaker
And Sam was game.
00:55:45
Speaker
She had to save him.
00:55:48
Speaker
I've only ever seen the whole trilogy once, so.
00:55:50
Speaker
Yeah, I get it.
00:55:52
Speaker
Alright.
00:55:52
Speaker
Yeah, so she runs over and immediately starts helping Arthur try to cut Ashley free.
00:55:59
Speaker
Okay.
00:55:59
Speaker
And it would be at that point she would probably call to Ryan and Ned, telling them to get in here immediately because Ashley's in here.
00:56:09
Speaker
Okay.
00:56:11
Speaker
I need you to roll your sanity.
00:56:13
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:56:14
Speaker
Oh, you're crazy.
00:56:15
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:56:19
Speaker
Oh, no.
00:56:20
Speaker
It's only a zero one.
00:56:22
Speaker
So whether you fail or crit fail, it's only going to be one.
00:56:24
Speaker
I passed.
00:56:25
Speaker
It was a 53 out of a 65.
00:56:26
Speaker
OK, so you passed.
00:56:29
Speaker
So you take no damage.
00:56:32
Speaker
OK, and I will get the other two back in.
00:56:34
Speaker
OK.
00:56:44
Speaker
Since we are all back.
00:56:46
Speaker
You guys see Samantha run into the cave.
00:56:52
Speaker
And she's in there for a moment.
00:56:56
Speaker
And what do they hear, Samantha?
00:57:00
Speaker
They would hear Samantha immediately go...
00:57:07
Speaker
ned and ryan pregnancy brain sucks okay completely forgot your names okay they would hear sam's go well arthur's already in there ned ryan you need to get in here now ashley's tied up to the wall ned it's your turn uh big spider big fire minute
00:57:36
Speaker
Can I like that's a Ryan thing?
00:57:38
Speaker
You can't be also spazzing out.
00:57:42
Speaker
Actually, just about to say you're stealing my shit.
00:57:45
Speaker
You tried to say you were being friends with nobody when I'm the only one who tried to be friends with nobody.
00:57:50
Speaker
I can have this one.
00:57:52
Speaker
You put a spear on him.
00:57:54
Speaker
It's not a spear.
00:57:56
Speaker
It's a broken bat.
00:57:56
Speaker
Close.
00:57:58
Speaker
Half a spear.
00:58:03
Speaker
I do need you to give me a dexterity check, though.
00:58:07
Speaker
Sure.
00:58:07
Speaker
I remember what that score is.
00:58:09
Speaker
Since you were, you know, right next to the spider that the fire originated from.
00:58:14
Speaker
56 on a 65.
00:58:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:58:17
Speaker
You're able to get further into the room before the fire spreads to you.
00:58:23
Speaker
Ned, not even worried about the spider.
00:58:26
Speaker
When I hear Sam, I assume that, yeah, I'd probably have to get in there.
00:58:30
Speaker
I just dash towards...
00:58:33
Speaker
There.
00:58:34
Speaker
Devil May Care running right past this flaming spider.
00:58:40
Speaker
Okay.
00:58:41
Speaker
It's too concerned about, you know, itself being on fucking fire to give a shit about getting like any kind of opportunity attack on you.
00:58:51
Speaker
And at this point, since, you know, Samantha was the whistleblower here, I'm not going to make Breck take off his headset this time.
00:59:00
Speaker
You get into the cave and you see that Arthur and Samantha have their combat knives out and they are cutting a body away from the wall.
00:59:11
Speaker
And it is indeed Ashley.
00:59:12
Speaker
If I can, I'm just going to go up there while they're cutting.
00:59:15
Speaker
I'm just going to like how high up off the ground is she?
00:59:20
Speaker
Her feet are maybe a foot off the ground.
00:59:21
Speaker
Yeah, I'm just going to make sure her body doesn't fall.
00:59:24
Speaker
So if her weight all of a sudden takes out from the spider webs that she doesn't fall to the ground.
00:59:31
Speaker
Okay, that's fair.
00:59:33
Speaker
And since you're preparing for that, I won't make your roll anything for it.
00:59:35
Speaker
Okay.
00:59:37
Speaker
All right, after Ned is Ryan.
00:59:41
Speaker
Hearing the scream, Ryan is just going to turn and make a run for the cave.
00:59:47
Speaker
Okay.
00:59:49
Speaker
And you heard what I said, so you know what you see when you walk in?
00:59:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:55
Speaker
Seeing that they have it taken care of, Ryan is just going to turn and keep an eye on the spider to make sure it doesn't charge towards us.
01:00:03
Speaker
Okay.
01:00:04
Speaker
That is going to go to the spider's turn.
01:00:11
Speaker
Ooh, that was a six on its damage.
01:00:14
Speaker
It is not looking good.
01:00:16
Speaker
But since all of you ran to the cave, it is going to start coming your way.
01:00:24
Speaker
And that is going to make the room ignite even faster.
01:00:28
Speaker
But it is not going to make an attack on you.
01:00:32
Speaker
So it's going to go top of the round to Arthur.
01:00:35
Speaker
Are we done cutting her out or is there still more?
01:00:41
Speaker
I'd say since there were two of you doing it, yeah, you're basically done cutting her out.
01:00:46
Speaker
I'll try, like, waking her up.
01:00:48
Speaker
She'll be like, Ashley, wake up!
01:00:52
Speaker
Not shaking her a lot, but kind of, like, nudged her to try not to startle her awake.
01:00:59
Speaker
Okay.
01:01:00
Speaker
We'll say she did pitch forward and Ned did catch her.
01:01:04
Speaker
So you're just trying to kind of, like, lightly shake her awake?
01:01:08
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:09
Speaker
Okay.
01:01:10
Speaker
Um...
01:01:14
Speaker
Oh, that's a 22.
01:01:15
Speaker
That's a crit success on her constitution.
01:01:17
Speaker
She... I'm not going to say she wakes up, but she does start to, like, stir.
01:01:22
Speaker
Like, she is responsive.
01:01:25
Speaker
Ashley, how'd you get here?
01:01:30
Speaker
What?
01:01:34
Speaker
And that's really all you hear.
01:01:35
Speaker
She's just kind of muttering, like, still in the throes of waking up, but...
01:01:41
Speaker
she's not comatose like she was against the wall.
01:01:46
Speaker
Okay, she's a spear responding.
01:01:48
Speaker
I guess it is the spider getting closer to us.
01:01:52
Speaker
Oh, spiders right outside the cave now.
01:01:53
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:54
Speaker
Yay.
01:01:58
Speaker
Arthur's just going to get into a defensive stance with his daggers.
01:02:01
Speaker
Like, oh, God, got to get Ashley out of here.
01:02:04
Speaker
Okay.
01:02:05
Speaker
We've got to get ourselves out of here.
01:02:07
Speaker
Yeah.
01:02:10
Speaker
It's my turn.
01:02:11
Speaker
All right, Samantha, your turn.

Escape Strategies Debate

01:02:14
Speaker
So after seeing Ashley, you know, fall forward and Ned catch her, she's going to also kind of.
01:02:21
Speaker
So first of all, how lit up is this room now?
01:02:25
Speaker
Since the spider is basically standing right there.
01:02:28
Speaker
It's on fire.
01:02:30
Speaker
Right.
01:02:31
Speaker
The room, like the inside the cave I'm talking about is the inside the cave on fire now, too.
01:02:36
Speaker
No, the spider that is standing in the cave doorway is on fire.
01:02:41
Speaker
So I'm assuming the room is well lit is what I'm getting at.
01:02:45
Speaker
Very well lit.
01:02:46
Speaker
Yes.
01:02:46
Speaker
Is there another pod?
01:02:49
Speaker
Like, would she see any other pods like holding people like would older Sam and Chris be there?
01:02:56
Speaker
No, no other pods.
01:02:58
Speaker
OK, and it's there's no way out except for where the spider's at.
01:03:04
Speaker
Exactly.
01:03:07
Speaker
Why are you making her face her fears?
01:03:11
Speaker
What?
01:03:12
Speaker
Come on, Mel.
01:03:13
Speaker
Samantha's doing great.
01:03:15
Speaker
Sure she is.
01:03:16
Speaker
Is there anything else in the room aside from their tiny little knives that would help them now get past this spider?
01:03:26
Speaker
Because at this point, I'm assuming this torch is probably already fucked up and we're not going to get out of here anytime soon.
01:03:32
Speaker
Nope.
01:03:34
Speaker
Don't be stupid, Sam.
01:03:35
Speaker
Don't be stupid, Sam.
01:03:36
Speaker
Don't be stupid, Sam.
01:03:37
Speaker
How tall is this thing?
01:03:38
Speaker
About eight feet tall.
01:03:42
Speaker
Okay.
01:03:42
Speaker
Is it possible for Sam to run out and towards the spider and climb on it to reach the torch?
01:03:57
Speaker
There are going to be some serious rolls that are going to have to happen.
01:04:01
Speaker
They are going to be...
01:04:03
Speaker
Very, very detrimental roles.
01:04:06
Speaker
Uh-huh.
01:04:07
Speaker
Meaning if you fail them, you may lose your character.
01:04:11
Speaker
Uh-huh.
01:04:12
Speaker
It's possible, but I will give you one.
01:04:18
Speaker
I have luck to burn.
01:04:19
Speaker
I almost have 100 luck, so I'm willing to at least try.
01:04:25
Speaker
Okay.
01:04:26
Speaker
Okay.
01:04:29
Speaker
Just so you know, I did say earlier that the room is 15 feet tall and the torch is almost at the top, so it's like 14 feet up.
01:04:39
Speaker
OK, but he's already eight feet.
01:04:42
Speaker
Yeah, which means you need another six.
01:04:45
Speaker
And she's about five feet and she can probably jump a foot.
01:04:53
Speaker
Okay.
01:04:54
Speaker
You do whatever Samantha would do.
01:04:56
Speaker
That's all I'm going to say.
01:04:59
Speaker
I'm just waiting for you to tell me what to roll at this point.
01:05:04
Speaker
I don't know how well this is going to go.
01:05:06
Speaker
Is this the path you're committing to?
01:05:10
Speaker
I have no other options.
01:05:12
Speaker
This is punching the water tower all over you.
01:05:15
Speaker
I was going to say you could just...
01:05:19
Speaker
ready in action or in the action of dying already.
01:05:24
Speaker
I just stabbing before your death like I'm doing like a man.
01:05:29
Speaker
OK, but here's the thing.
01:05:31
Speaker
If the torch is 15 feet up on the wall and the room is on fire, there's no other way for us to kill this spider and then, you know, stack ourselves to get the torch.
01:05:48
Speaker
In time before perishing from either burning alive or smoke inhalation.
01:05:53
Speaker
Such a dipping tower.
01:05:55
Speaker
Give me an alertness check.
01:06:00
Speaker
That would be a seven out of 69.
01:06:08
Speaker
Nice.
01:06:11
Speaker
You notice that this entire room is on fire at this point.
01:06:15
Speaker
Uh-huh.
01:06:17
Speaker
The smoke is not there.
01:06:19
Speaker
How do I want to say this?
01:06:21
Speaker
The smoke is not thick.
01:06:24
Speaker
Okay.
01:06:25
Speaker
It's almost as if there are vents in the ceiling that are letting the smoke out.
01:06:29
Speaker
Okay.
01:06:31
Speaker
So you're not going to have to worry about being smoked out.
01:06:34
Speaker
Okay.
01:06:35
Speaker
Not have to worry about being smoked out, but we do have to worry about burning alive.
01:06:40
Speaker
That's still not enough time for us to kill a giant ass spider.
01:06:43
Speaker
And give a torch.
01:06:45
Speaker
You don't.
01:06:47
Speaker
What?
01:06:48
Speaker
The cave doesn't have webs.
01:06:51
Speaker
OK, but the spider is on fire.
01:06:55
Speaker
Yeah.
01:06:56
Speaker
And the spider is almost dead.
01:06:59
Speaker
I told you the spider is not looking good.
01:07:01
Speaker
There's still no way we're going to be able to get the fucking torch.
01:07:05
Speaker
I never once said you had to get the torch.
01:07:08
Speaker
Then how the fuck?
01:07:09
Speaker
I said there is an unlit torch on the wall.
01:07:13
Speaker
How that's all I said.
01:07:14
Speaker
We're supposed to light the torches above the door.
01:07:16
Speaker
It might, what if lighting the torches in here causes the torches above the door to light?
01:07:23
Speaker
Okay, how are we going to get out of a room full of fire?
01:07:28
Speaker
Listen, one thing at a time.
01:07:31
Speaker
They're spider webs, it's not wood.
01:07:32
Speaker
It's not going to burn for 10 minutes, it's going to burn for 10 seconds.
01:07:36
Speaker
This isn't going to stay up for long.
01:07:37
Speaker
Alright, so here's what I'm going to say.
01:07:40
Speaker
If this is the path that you are 100% committed to doing, I am going to need...
01:07:46
Speaker
First off, a sanity roll to see if you are even capable of doing it.
01:07:53
Speaker
And then I'm going to need a power roll to see.
01:08:00
Speaker
So the sanity roll is a. OK, hang on.
01:08:05
Speaker
Let me get my thoughts in order here.
01:08:08
Speaker
OK, before you do that, let me let me.
01:08:12
Speaker
Let me change up what I what I want to do here then.
01:08:17
Speaker
Because if we don't need to take the torch and then go put it with the other torches above the door and we just need to light it, then Samantha is going to try and find a way to take, you know, burning web and throw it up there.
01:08:31
Speaker
OK.
01:08:33
Speaker
So is there anything like she could use as like a slingshot?
01:08:37
Speaker
She would still need to get past the giant ass fucking spider.
01:08:40
Speaker
But nothing in this room.
01:08:42
Speaker
No.
01:08:43
Speaker
And in your previous search, no, you did not find anything.
01:08:47
Speaker
without giving you an answer I am trying to tell you that what you're planning on doing is a really fucking bad idea that's that's what I'm trying to get across here then I guess Sam is just gonna sit on her thumbs and do nothing that's smart okay Ned your turn Ned just sets Ashley on the ground there's bigger fish to fry right now or I guess arachnid to fry um
01:09:17
Speaker
And he's just gonna turn around and go stand by Ryan.
01:09:23
Speaker
And I'm gonna try and stab my bat into this spider's fiery face.
01:09:30
Speaker
I was under the impression you stabbed the bat in and left it.
01:09:33
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:33
Speaker
Ned's gonna punch it.
01:09:35
Speaker
Give me a 50-50.
01:09:36
Speaker
And you said that my idea was stupid.
01:09:39
Speaker
You were gonna run into a burning room.
01:09:40
Speaker
I'm just punching a burning spider.
01:09:42
Speaker
At least only my fist will get burnt.
01:09:44
Speaker
I was going to say, you were trying to fucking climb the spider rodeo style.
01:09:49
Speaker
And?
01:09:51
Speaker
Yeah, it's a terrible idea.
01:09:54
Speaker
Give me a 50-50, Ned.
01:09:55
Speaker
I got a 42.
01:09:56
Speaker
Okay.
01:09:58
Speaker
With a 42, since there was a miscommunication or a misunderstanding there, I'll say with a 42, you were able to keep your bat.
01:10:06
Speaker
Oh, okay.
01:10:06
Speaker
All right.
01:10:07
Speaker
Well, then I will melee weapons, I guess, and I want to just try and stab this thing in the face.
01:10:19
Speaker
37 on a 30.
01:10:22
Speaker
It's right in front of your face.
01:10:24
Speaker
Go ahead and do that at advantage.
01:10:26
Speaker
I'm going to burn the 7 luck.
01:10:29
Speaker
The second roll was an 87.
01:10:30
Speaker
So I'm down to 73 luck, but I'm going to hit it.
01:10:36
Speaker
And it's not on fire anymore.
01:10:38
Speaker
Right?
01:10:39
Speaker
No, so it would just be regular combat dagger stats.
01:10:42
Speaker
The 1d4 plus 2.
01:10:44
Speaker
Yep.
01:10:46
Speaker
That is a four, so six.
01:10:47
Speaker
Six damage from my spiky broke bat.
01:10:51
Speaker
This time I'm going to say you do let go of the bat.
01:10:54
Speaker
Because as you... You'll be able to get it back, you know, if you're able to kill the spider or whatever.
01:11:00
Speaker
But as you stab it into the spider's face, it screeches and instantly whips back and starts thundering backwards.
01:11:11
Speaker
And...
01:11:12
Speaker
At this moment, because it was your turn that started the fire, you see the fire has basically gone out in the room.
01:11:18
Speaker
The webs burned that fucking quick.
01:11:22
Speaker
Do you guys want to leave the cave as the spider backpedals?
01:11:26
Speaker
Ned's just going to keep an eye on the spider and make sure that it doesn't get back up.
01:11:32
Speaker
I never said it fell.
01:11:33
Speaker
Oh, it's still just running around?
01:11:36
Speaker
It's like backing up.
01:11:38
Speaker
I'm not taking my eyes off the spider until it quits moving.
01:11:41
Speaker
Okay.
01:11:42
Speaker
But are you leaving the cave?
01:11:44
Speaker
No, I'm going to stay right where I was.
01:11:46
Speaker
Okay.
01:11:48
Speaker
Ryan, your turn.
01:11:49
Speaker
You said the room was, like, basically out for fire?
01:11:55
Speaker
Yeah, so the webs aren't, like, smoldering.
01:11:57
Speaker
The webs lit, and imagine, like, when you burn a piece of paper.
01:12:01
Speaker
The flame traveled, but it didn't stay on the burnt part.
01:12:05
Speaker
So, like, if I were to go in the room now, it wouldn't, like, set Ryan on fire?
01:12:08
Speaker
Right.
01:12:09
Speaker
Right.
01:12:11
Speaker
That's why I was trying to tell Samantha to stop, because literally the next turn the fire was going to go out.
01:12:19
Speaker
I was trying to save you, Samantha.

Victory and Escape

01:12:21
Speaker
You just didn't like my idea.
01:12:23
Speaker
It's fine.
01:12:24
Speaker
So seeing that the fire is out and that the spider is like backpedaling, Ryan is going to take a quick breath and just charge and stab it.
01:12:37
Speaker
Okay.
01:12:38
Speaker
Roll me a melee weapons.
01:12:40
Speaker
All right.
01:12:45
Speaker
That is, where's melee weapons?
01:12:48
Speaker
An 18 on a 50.
01:12:48
Speaker
Okay, go ahead and roll those bones for damage.
01:12:54
Speaker
Woo, that's a four, so six.
01:12:58
Speaker
Okay.
01:12:58
Speaker
How are you gonna finish a spider?
01:13:01
Speaker
Thank you.
01:13:01
Speaker
Damn.
01:13:02
Speaker
Um...
01:13:06
Speaker
He just runs straight at it as it's backing up.
01:13:10
Speaker
And as its head swings down, he just stabs into one of the eyes.
01:13:14
Speaker
Okay.
01:13:14
Speaker
So you stab into its eye again, this unearthly screech as, as the spider just slumps.
01:13:25
Speaker
And I want you to roll me an alertness.
01:13:29
Speaker
That is a 48 on a 70.
01:13:30
Speaker
Okay.
01:13:34
Speaker
As the spider slumps, you stand up.
01:13:37
Speaker
You're breathing heavy.
01:13:38
Speaker
You're looking around the room.
01:13:40
Speaker
It's dead quiet.
01:13:43
Speaker
All your friends are in the cave.
01:13:45
Speaker
The fire that has surrounded it is out.
01:13:48
Speaker
The spider's body is smoldering a little bit.
01:13:52
Speaker
The torch isn't lit.
01:13:53
Speaker
I fucking told you.
01:13:56
Speaker
As the spider stops moving, finally, you see...
01:14:03
Speaker
a blue flame appear on the torch.
01:14:06
Speaker
And as the blue flame appears on the torch, you hear a loud click and the metal door swings open.
01:14:14
Speaker
Samantha books it towards the door.
01:14:21
Speaker
Go ahead.
01:14:24
Speaker
I was just going to say, Samantha, you're able to make it out in the hallway.
01:14:28
Speaker
No problem.
01:14:28
Speaker
Thank fucking God.
01:14:32
Speaker
Ryan is going to go back in the small cave and pick up Ashley and carry her out.
01:14:37
Speaker
No, you're not.
01:14:38
Speaker
Because you were already halfway across the room.
01:14:40
Speaker
Ned stayed in the cave.
01:14:42
Speaker
Ned's just going to point over at the table.
01:14:44
Speaker
Clear the table.
01:14:45
Speaker
I'll get her.
01:14:46
Speaker
And I'm going to go back there with Arthur since Arthur's still back there.
01:14:49
Speaker
And we're going to carry her out while he grabs everything off the table that was left.
01:14:53
Speaker
Yeah.
01:14:55
Speaker
Yeah.
01:14:56
Speaker
Ryan's gonna go clean out the table with knives.
01:14:58
Speaker
You never have enough pokey things, man.
01:15:00
Speaker
Remember when you guys tried to fire the flamethrower into the room?
01:15:08
Speaker
Yes.
01:15:09
Speaker
Remember how there seemed to be... Jesus Christ, dog.
01:15:15
Speaker
Wow, Smasley.
01:15:18
Speaker
Well, I thought that was Dice.
01:15:19
Speaker
No, that was my dog standing up.
01:15:21
Speaker
Because he's psychotic.
01:15:23
Speaker
That was the dog.
01:15:25
Speaker
Yes.
01:15:27
Speaker
Remember how there seemed to be something that wouldn't let the fire go through the door?
01:15:31
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
01:15:34
Speaker
As, Ryan, you have these knives in your hands and you're walking towards the door, something stops you.
01:15:41
Speaker
And it lets you go through, but the knives stop and fall to the threshold.
01:15:48
Speaker
You cannot take these weapons out of this room.
01:15:50
Speaker
Oh, fuck.
01:15:52
Speaker
Ryan just looks at them and goes, ah.
01:15:56
Speaker
Damn it, I like those knives.
01:15:58
Speaker
I'm just gonna kick some back into the room and then walk through the doorway.
01:16:01
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:02
Speaker
I still got Ned and Sam went through the door.
01:16:07
Speaker
It was fine.
01:16:07
Speaker
Yeah, Ashley.
01:16:09
Speaker
So you guys are carrying her.
01:16:10
Speaker
How are you guys carrying her?
01:16:11
Speaker
Like, are you doing one person has shoulders, the other person has feet?
01:16:14
Speaker
Are you guys doing, like, a firefighter carry?
01:16:17
Speaker
Like, what are you doing?
01:16:20
Speaker
I mean, is she semi-conscious?
01:16:23
Speaker
Kinda.
01:16:24
Speaker
I figured I was going to take one shoulder and he was going to take one.
01:16:26
Speaker
We're just kind of like weakening at Bernie's here.
01:16:29
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:29
Speaker
Yeah, I like that idea.
01:16:31
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:32
Speaker
Yeah, it lets all three of you out.
01:16:34
Speaker
But same thing, if you're carrying any of the weapons that you picked up in this room, they fly out of your hands back into the room.
01:16:41
Speaker
Yeah, they were on the ground after I was done chopping the web off, actually.
01:16:48
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:49
Speaker
Okay.
01:16:50
Speaker
So you guys are all back out in the hallway.
01:16:52
Speaker
I want... Samantha, you were the first one out there.
01:16:57
Speaker
Give me an alertness.
01:17:00
Speaker
Okay.
01:17:02
Speaker
34 out of 69.
01:17:04
Speaker
As you go back out in the hallway and you're able to point this out to everybody else, the far right torch above the big door has a blue flame on it now.
01:17:14
Speaker
It does have a blue flame, you said?
01:17:17
Speaker
It does.
01:17:17
Speaker
It does.
01:17:18
Speaker
So Sam is panting, you know, having run out of that room.
01:17:24
Speaker
And then when everybody comes back out, she just kind of points to the to the main door.
01:17:32
Speaker
The thing is lit.
01:17:33
Speaker
Okay.
01:17:34
Speaker
The beacon is lit.
01:17:36
Speaker
Condor calls for aid.
01:17:38
Speaker
Sorry.
01:17:39
Speaker
No, that was good.
01:17:40
Speaker
I like that.
01:17:42
Speaker
So you guys all get out there.
01:17:43
Speaker
You see the torch is lit.
01:17:45
Speaker
Ashley is still kind of have you guys played Kingdom Hearts at all?
01:17:50
Speaker
Yes.
01:17:51
Speaker
Yes.
01:17:53
Speaker
You know how after Ventus got his heart stolen, how he's just kind of sitting there with his eyes kind of half open.
01:18:01
Speaker
Yeah.
01:18:03
Speaker
That's kind of what Ashley's doing right now.
01:18:05
Speaker
OK.
01:18:07
Speaker
She like poisoned or anything like that?
01:18:10
Speaker
You don't know.
01:18:10
Speaker
Are we able to figure it out?
01:18:14
Speaker
Uh, you guys can roll me a medicine or first aid.
01:18:22
Speaker
Can I just look her over for wounds without rolling?
01:18:32
Speaker
Oh boy.
01:18:33
Speaker
I'm not going to do that because I have a really bad, I have 0% on medicine and 10% on first aid.
01:18:37
Speaker
Same.
01:18:42
Speaker
So you just have the base stats.
01:18:43
Speaker
Gotcha.
01:18:44
Speaker
Yep.
01:18:45
Speaker
And I got a 56 on my first aid out of 30.
01:18:47
Speaker
Okay.
01:18:50
Speaker
These dice have been nice to me today.
01:18:51
Speaker
Maybe.
01:18:52
Speaker
Let me just try.
01:18:53
Speaker
Let's just see.
01:18:56
Speaker
It's a 15, so it's not terrible, but it's still a fail.
01:19:00
Speaker
It's still a fail.
01:19:01
Speaker
Which one did you roll on?
01:19:03
Speaker
First aid.
01:19:04
Speaker
I'm going to say keep track of that so that way you can roll.
01:19:08
Speaker
I have to do first aid and I think search.
01:19:13
Speaker
I need your D4-1 at the end.
01:19:14
Speaker
I'll roll on first aid, but can I just check over Ashley to look for wounds without rolling?
01:19:20
Speaker
Yes.
01:19:21
Speaker
Yeah.
01:19:23
Speaker
Do I see any wounds?
01:19:26
Speaker
You see some scratches.
01:19:29
Speaker
You see... You know, she's pretty beat up.
01:19:34
Speaker
But you don't see anything that would...
01:19:37
Speaker
look like puncture wounds from fangs as big as that spider head.
01:19:42
Speaker
Okay.
01:19:43
Speaker
Still going to roll first aid to see if I can't figure out what's wrong with her or... Or to see if you can stabilize her even.
01:19:51
Speaker
Yeah.
01:19:53
Speaker
I didn't like the way you said that.
01:19:54
Speaker
No, that is a 39 out of 10.
01:19:57
Speaker
Okay.
01:19:58
Speaker
So she's still just kind of eyes glazed over staring off into space.
01:20:04
Speaker
And she's just kind of still just muttering to herself.
01:20:09
Speaker
And she's talking so quietly, you guys can't really understand what she's saying.
01:20:13
Speaker
It's one of those like, oh, go ahead.
01:20:16
Speaker
Can I put my ear up to like right in front of her mouth to see if I can hear it?
01:20:21
Speaker
I'm going to, I'm going to say yes.
01:20:24
Speaker
I'm just trying to figure out what you should roll to see if you can actually make out what she's saying.
01:20:31
Speaker
I'm going to say, huh?
01:20:38
Speaker
Give me intelligence, I guess, to see if you can figure out what she's saying.
01:20:47
Speaker
Yeah.
01:20:47
Speaker
Figure out what she's saying.
01:20:49
Speaker
All right.
01:20:53
Speaker
I mean, that's a 65 on a 75.
01:20:54
Speaker
Okay.
01:20:58
Speaker
It sounds like a bunch of nonsense that she's saying, but you're able to pick out one phrase that she keeps repeating.
01:21:06
Speaker
And the phrase that she keeps repeating is it's the fourth one.
01:21:13
Speaker
And that's where we're going to end the episode.
01:21:17
Speaker
God damn it.
01:21:19
Speaker
Good game.
01:21:22
Speaker
Good game.
01:21:26
