Introductions and Character Setup

00:00:09
Speaker
Hey everyone, welcome to Rolling Across the Pond. We are doing Hermit Chronicles. We are doing Hungry Aims. We're gonna kinda jump straight into it. I'm your GM Jesse, and I'm in a rush in my daughter's crime.
00:00:24
Speaker
Hi, my name is Davina, and I will be playing Davina in an alternate version of myself from District 5. I'm Luke, and I'm probably going to try to go by Lucius, I think, because they like Greco-Roman names in District 2. Luke for short, so no change. But it'll be Arlo's. I'm Mike. Yeah, I'm here. I'm from District 10, and District 10 Lewindis.
00:00:53
Speaker
Hi, I'm Ariana and I am playing also Ariana from District 10 and had to dress as a cow in the parade.

Tribute Interviews

00:01:04
Speaker
I think my ego is still a little hurt from that, but you know, we're doing good. So we're going to just jump straight in and we're going to take you guys to the interviews.
00:01:30
Speaker
Now, Luke, you have, you're kind of, not kind of, you are
00:01:37
Speaker
the fourth to go after district one and after close from district two. Caesar says, all right, we all expected it, but apparently he didn't. Let's welcome Luke from district two. And then you get an uproar.
00:02:12
Speaker
And she's like come sit sit Luke Luke what what what what is it that you're wearing today tell us tell us everything but just unload just tell me everything I'm so excited to see your story unfold
00:02:26
Speaker
Yeah, thanks. I recently learned, to this piece of knowledge, is that I am the world's most knowledgeable historian on the Antรฉvic Chored, who were this group of people who learned from
00:02:42
Speaker
the Egyptians and the Nords and the Romans to become this ultimate fighter, these ultimate fighters. So yeah, I amulated their look. I got this like running mascara on my face. I got the knives that I had beforehand. Yeah, I wore these, as you can see on the day of coming here. Incredible.
00:03:08
Speaker
Yeah, this is the only thing that we usually wear. I elected to wear this robe because I thought it looked nice, thanks. Yeah, I just wanted to emulate how much, how excited I am to be here and just how well I'm able to teach people about how well this goes. No, yeah, it's so fascinating. I'm so intrigued on what else you're gonna teach us through this time. You seem more...
00:03:38
Speaker
With it, we watched your acceptance video and not when you went up as your pig.
00:03:48
Speaker
You were very confused. We have anything more to say about that. Yeah, no, sorry. As I said, as I probably haven't told you before, I originally wasn't supposed to be here. I, of course elected to be here, but, uh, when I was about 10, I had this really good friend who was, who was supposed to be sitting in the seat here and, uh, he trained and he had this genius idea of how to make almost like a gun.
00:04:17
Speaker
out of everything in the woods. And so he elected himself to do it. But when he got to about the age of 10, he started developing ticks and various mannerisms of somebody with threats. And I was very, very proud of him as he continued to persevere and said he was gonna win the games. Unfortunately, I was one of the few who believed in him. And I don't know, it just, it breaks my heart to think that anybody
00:04:47
Speaker
would mock such a kind, dedicated tribute. And I don't even have the words to speak of this idea. So we worked together. We created these genius ideas of making guns and these things. And I've had engineers look over my work.
00:05:09
Speaker
I've worked with him in my medical sciences to create ways, I have ways to push beyond to help others, other tributes work beyond their own limitations. You really see that. We really see that. It's, I didn't know it was, that's, that's devastating. I, um, I will win this. Now you will win. I will win this and I will take, I'm going to point to the camera. I will take you away from,
00:05:38
Speaker
all of those who don't believe you will never make it up there. We will be there together. Incredible.

Davida's Impressive Entrance

00:05:43
Speaker
You heard it here first, folks. You hear me here? He will win this, and he's going to take us for the ride. Well, yeah, just thank you, Luke. Can't wait to see what happens. And I'm going to need you to roll two performances. So first, regular flat performance, and then a performance with advantage.
00:06:05
Speaker
17 for the first one. Okay. And 14. Okay. Thank you, Lou. Thank you, Lou. Please head out.
00:06:13
Speaker
And then all of each other people go, and then Caesar says, now let's all put our hands together for the wonderful, wonderful District 5 Divida! And then you get a, yay! Woo, District 5! Not as many claps and stuff, but yeah.
00:06:36
Speaker
I come in wearing a black dress long and has a special effect in it that makes it look like lightening is going through the dress and is, I'm wearing dark makeup and like black lipstick, kind of dark eye makeup and I look pretty goth but also pretty cool because I have lightening in my dress and also like
00:07:06
Speaker
lightning bolts painted on my face and stuff like that. That's to represent the electricity that we produce. Cool. Right. Well, Caesar goes, Caesar comes in, you come in, and Caesar's like, oh, come sit, come sit. Wow, David, you look incredible.
00:07:29
Speaker
Tell us what you're wearing. So this was designed, especially for me. I gave the specifications. I like designing things and then creating things. So they have given me some input on this design a little bit. And I had a wonderful team that was able to help make this dress, which has the appearance of lightning to represent
00:07:57
Speaker
the power that we supply to the capital. And everyone gives a huge hurrah, they love the dress, woo! And everyone starts sending sponsors towards me, wow, it's amazing. Did you roll a natural 20? Am I supposed to roll? Sorry. Yes, yeah, roll performance for the dress. I did roll a natural 20, yeah! Woo, woo, woo, woo! Natural 20, woo!
00:08:27
Speaker
nice um yeah so yeah so he's like oh my goodness that's incredible i yeah i can can we see the lightning is it no no it doesn't no it's just for the appearance of it no it's not it's not real so i'll twirl around and show the the lightning wow very awesome that's incredible and you hear oh
00:08:50
Speaker
like a huge gasp from the audience and they love it. You know, you're doing really well with that. And then he goes, so Davida, it seems that you don't want to be here.
00:09:04
Speaker
I would rather not be here, but because the dice have chosen it this way, the role of the dice and the selection process just so happened to select me, I'm going to take full advantage of it and use my skills with electricity and my status as the governor's daughter to do my best to win this.
00:09:33
Speaker
and take home the victory for my district. Wow, okay. You know what? The way you're looking, the new attitude, it sounds awesome. We are on our toes to waiting to see what happens. I'm looking forward to it, Caesar, and I've got a couple of tricks up my sleeves, so I'm hoping that it'll go well and that I'll
00:09:58
Speaker
be able to get some good partners in the beginning and be able to win. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Incredible, incredible. Well, we cannot wait to see it. Please, you know, just head out that way. Oh, you surprised us all with just how beautiful you're looking. Thanks, Cesar. And I'll head out.
00:10:19
Speaker
and roll performance with advantage. I rolled a 12. 12? Okay. Okay. This can't hurt your chances. So even if you didn't, if you roll, unless you rolled a natural one, otherwise it can only help. He's like.
00:10:35
Speaker
Now let's welcome the surprising district. The district, well, you and I probably most enjoy the most and we don't even know it. The ones that provide the delicious, succulent,

Mike's Cowboy Persona

00:10:48
Speaker
incredible meat that we eat every day. Let's invite District 10's Mike.
00:11:06
Speaker
And it's, in a way, Mike, it's kind of shocking to you, but I don't know, like other districts were getting that kind of applause and stuff like that. But as of eight, it kind of dwindled, but as they, you know, you guys are kind of becoming the crowd favorite other than obviously, and you wouldn't know this is district 12 Katniss is kind of taking the stage as well. But yeah, so you get the applause and he says, welcome, welcome. Come take a seat, Mike.
00:11:36
Speaker
Hey, Caesar, how's it going? Yeah, it's going well. Yeah, yeah. Take a load off, man. You need it after, you know. How many animals have you wrangled up? Oh, it's just too many to count.
00:11:49
Speaker
I'm sure. I'm sure. I mean, look at you. Look at the way you are like that. Yeah. The muscles. Yeah. There you go. What are you wearing for this interview? Um, I think I, I want to have like cut off sleeves, but I'm not sure how that would go. Like a tux, but like cut off sleeves to show off the muscles and then a bolo tie and definitely a cowboy hat, like a,
00:12:15
Speaker
Oh, sure. You know, I'll tell you, I'll tell you how we can figure this out. Roll performance with advantage. With advantage. So you have to roll twice. Okay. And take the higher one. Six. Six? That's a higher one.
00:12:41
Speaker
I mean, I can see the muscles. We all love the muscles. But why this? Why this look? He looks kind of casual, too casual for this time.
00:12:55
Speaker
I just uh yeah sleeves are just so constricting and I'm not used to it being out on the range and constantly ripping them off because they're just constricting. Oh you rip them off. Whoa. Rip these ones off this is okay of course but when I'm on the range if I if they end up giving me a long sleeve I'm just like nah.
00:13:19
Speaker
I was going to say, I was going to say, like, if you rip these off to the designer now, did you give him a heads up? You know, I had to talk with him before. All right. Of course. Yeah. OK. So, yeah. Yeah. Speaking of, you know, getting designer clothes and being in this situation, being being this this beautiful district. How are you feeling about all the perks you're getting right now?
00:13:49
Speaker
It's a little uncomfortable, but the rest is nice, honestly. It's been kind of restful. It needs to get up super early with my normal and working every day. So to be able to sleep in the bed and sleep in and eat well has been real good.
00:14:07
Speaker
Awesome. Wow. That's that's incredible to hear. I mean, the exuberance of confidence that you're bringing to this right now. Incredible. Where does it come from? Where? I just think I've I've mastered so many animals. That's how I view my competitors. So I think that's where that confidence is coming from. If I can master a bull, I think I can master some hot shops from District one.
00:14:37
Speaker
Oh, you heard it here, folks. You heard it here first. He thinks you're all animals. He's taking it down. Let's hear it from Mike from District 10. And then they all give you a good round of applause. I want you to roll performance again with advantage. With advantage? Yeah.
00:14:58
Speaker
Is it going to be a natural one? No, it's a three. Oh my goodness. That's the advantage. They gave you a decent amount of random applause. But let's just say this didn't hurt you, if that makes sense. If you didn't get any bonuses from it, but this didn't hurt you. Because you definitely made the wrong decision with my outfit. You're wrong decision with your outfit and some of your answers are a bit unfair.
00:15:24
Speaker
cocky side, so we'll see how that goes. Now, yeah, if you just make your way out, now everyone, let's bring out the more sly, more eloquent, spoken, and decisive Ariana from District 10. Come on!
00:15:54
Speaker
Yes. Welcome, Ariana. Take a seat. Take a seat. Hello, Caesar. Thank you. Yes, of course, of course. I mean, look at you. What are you wearing today? Well, that's a good question. Hopefully it's clothes. I'll be wearing this, what's that called? It's not a dress, I guess kind of like a pantsuit sort of a thing. Sure. All leather.
00:16:21
Speaker
with kind of flared out legs. So it almost looks like a skirt kind of a thing. Oh, nice. But more practical and comfortable to move in. Oh, cool. So it was like brown leather? Brown leather, yeah, with kind of brown and black, sort of a mixture of how my designer made it look formal while still being like more what I had hoped for for the... Oh, wonderful. Sure. Cool. Role performance.
00:16:51
Speaker
With advantage. 17, both times. Whoa. Yeah, 17. Everybody's, it's easier just because it's stunning. I mean. Thank you. And you look stunning yourself, Cesar. Of course I do. I don't just wake up this way, but I'm pretty close.
00:17:11
Speaker
Anyways, yeah, wow. What a time. Your, how do I say this? Your presentation to the sponsors. Now that was very eloquent, very outspoken. Where did you come up with the idea just to cut Mannequin's throat and in a way narrate it? What was the, yeah. Well, you know,
00:17:39
Speaker
What really makes a person strong isn't always just how they look on the inside. It's what you do with what life gives you. And day-to-day life back in District 10 has its ups and downs, but we work hard. And not only do we work hard, but we're not treated with respect.
00:17:58
Speaker
Now that can tear someone down or you could take that and you build up your strength from it. There are people back home who would love to see me fail, frankly, because where my job is, I'm not really seen with respect at all. I'm the butcher. We kill the animals. That's a job nobody really wants to have.
00:18:21
Speaker
But the naysayers, everything they say, and my job itself has only made me stronger.

Ariana's Determination

00:18:28
Speaker
And some of the strength that if there's any at all, it's simply what life has dealt me and I've tried to just take it and roll with it how I can and not let it pull me down.
00:18:38
Speaker
Amazing. Now, you say you're the butcher. You're the one that provides us with this succulent meat that we have. Oh, I hope you had a good dinner tonight. Oh, I did. Audience, you you don't know half of what they provide for me. Anyways, just thinking about it back.
00:18:58
Speaker
Oh, thank you for that. How did you get to be so intricate, so precise with how you make those cuts and whatnot? I guess you could just say it's sort of a skill I've had since birth, but you know, this wasn't the job I looked for. It got handed to me and I took it for what it was and made the most of it. All right. Okay. Wow.
00:19:25
Speaker
It must be new to you, I guess, maybe some of the other tributes you've seen from District 10. Yeah, never. Well, I mean, they they had their own specific routes and whatnot. But yeah, of course, it's let's just say it's full of surprises. Yeah. Well, I was just about to say the surprises completely. And yeah, I can't wait to hear more from you guys and see you in action.
00:19:54
Speaker
And I have a question for you, Caesar. Oh, for me? What is it about this year that is really getting you excited? You've seen lots of Hunger Games before. Wow. What are you most looking forward to this year? Putting me on the spot area. I don't usually answer these things. But you caught me in a good mood. Well, I mean, the amount of
00:20:16
Speaker
The amount of shock and awe that the outer districts have come about, like you and Mike and Katniss Everdeen, where have you guys been hiding? You're bringing out the, yeah, you're really shaking things up and I'm excited. Well, I think 73 years is long enough for us to kind of hide in the shadows.
00:20:45
Speaker
This is our time to shine and get ready. Once again, folks, keep an eye out for this district. They have a lot of surprises and I for one am rooting for them. And I'm not supposed to show bias.
00:21:00
Speaker
All right. Yeah. Well, thank you, Ariana. Please head out and hopefully have a nice night before everything begins. Ariana did everything that I was supposed to do. Oh, right. She was way better than I did. Roll performance. Roll performance with advantage. Okay, good. 18. 18. Okay, cool.
00:21:36
Speaker
you
00:21:40
Speaker
So you definitely gained a little bit more following and you definitely have Caesar on the back, on your guys' back. So you guys head back to your level and in the hotel, whatever it is, your floor. Anyway, yeah, because you have the entire floor and you get the rest. Is there any last minute things you want to ask your mentors or just kind of get a head space? What's going through your heads as the next day comes?
00:22:10
Speaker
Well, I kind of wanted to talk to Ariana cause I can't remember if we had like talk to each other about like not really working together or like, yeah, go for it. Yeah. So I'm going to, yeah, I think I'll walk up to her and be like, Hey, like I'm glad I'm going through this with you. I think if we work together, we can be a better team than if we separate, like we can have more followers. I think they're, they're really drawn to my strength and your charisma. I think, uh, we.
00:22:40
Speaker
We work together, I think we can go far in this. Yeah, I think you're probably right. To be honest, I don't really feel like I'm that strong in combat. I only say that because I've never actually fought a person before. So I don't want to drag you down. I really do care about our district. I think I can watch your back. And if we're going on the offensive, I trust your sleuth and your knowledge of where to cut.
00:23:10
Speaker
Well, I would be happy to have you have my back and I will have your back. Honestly, that's a feels like a relief to hear you say that you're on the same page as me. Can I, can I roll medical check to see if
00:23:26
Speaker
And if I was legit, how to describe this is I actually, there is a way to, like the way that caffeine affects your body to be like not knowing that you're tired. In the same way, there is something that where you can exude a lot of energy and not feel tired until you have just set the lights at night. Can I roll a medical check to see if Lucius knows that? And it'll be limited to half an hour.
00:23:54
Speaker
Here, yeah, go for it. This is also, sure. David, is there anything you wanna do? Real world study. No. I honestly can't think of what I would do besides probably rant about a little bit more. Okay, that's fine. Is there, is it possible to, as we're playing all this, to gain any more,
00:24:21
Speaker
Like, what's the word proficiency or whatever in any areas? Sure. I mean, why not? I mean, in a way, Mike didn't do very well. So I would say Mike didn't gain anything.
00:24:36
Speaker
Yeah, why not gain, you can get a plus one either in charisma or actually, yeah, as a total during this time, that's what it was. So in addition to maybe some supplies,
00:24:54
Speaker
you can both get a plus two in your stats and you can put them anywhere. So you can put one in one and one in another or, but I would say as strongly suggested that you would put it in charisma or in like, like a
00:25:12
Speaker
conversational one or maybe even strength like think about the past times if you listen to the audio or not. And think about what you kind of showed and you can get bonuses in those. Okay, so you know, or yeah, right now. You both get to Yeah.
00:25:33
Speaker
towards the overall, like not the modifier. Not every stats, but just the stat. Yeah. Not the modifier. Okay. Well, I'll definitely put one in charisma because I need one there. So does an 11 put it to a plus one? No, it's still plus zero. So 12 is where it starts. Is one. Yeah.
00:25:54
Speaker
So, like, if something is at 12 and moving it up to 13 stays at plus one. Yes. Luke, you can add a plus one to any of your stats. Davita, you can add a plus one to any of your stats. And because you have a natural 20, Davita,
00:26:13
Speaker
you can do a plus one to performance. Cool. So is 21 enough to break? I don't know how to say this. Is that enough to know how to limit exhaustion? If you roll for exhaustion, you can see, I can't tell you. 21.
00:26:32
Speaker
Yeah, oh, so you roll, why are you rolling right? Oh, right. Okay, for breaking. Yeah, I would say you understand kind of the basic stuff. You might need certain stuff that you might not have, but. It is like a pressure point thing, but if you're saying. Sure, sure, that's fine. But I would need, I would need something to do it. Are you saying?
00:26:59
Speaker
No, no, no. If it doesn't require, like, it's fine. I mean, you're not curing cancer. You're not saving the world, you know. You can't heal a sword wound with that.
00:27:12
Speaker
So it's fine, yeah. It just means that you will be able to, I guess not sleep if that, or sleep less than others, but you don't gain health back for that. It just means you don't lose, you don't get exhaustion.

Pre-Arena Preparations

00:27:26
Speaker
So after you guys have done all that. Okay, are we ready for the next stage? So you were taken to the arena and you were taken
00:27:39
Speaker
you are with your stylist and they're kind of just talking with you both. And sorry, with, you know, they're just like, with who? Your stylist. Stylist, okay.
00:27:51
Speaker
Yeah, they put the tracker in you and you are already there and you're with your stylist. And they're just kind of getting you ready. And the last thing they say is, what do they say? You say, you know, don't get killed. You already know the spiel, Luke. You should be good at this. The point of you like, pay attention. You're going to punish me.
00:28:14
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. That's what we're gonna do. And Davida, the silence like you. I know Katniss is the girl on fire, but
00:28:26
Speaker
You need electricity to start a fire sometimes, so be that. And whatever you do, do not leave the platform before the cannon goes off, because you will die. Do we have an opportunity to do that? Do we have an opportunity to do that? We can step off this platform. We do have an opportunity to do that? Yeah, if you want, but you shouldn't. You'll die. Okay.
00:28:48
Speaker
Okay, cool. Making sure that I can do that if I wanted to do that. Not that I want to do that. Yeah, 100% you can do that. It's just not honoring to our, you know, our district at all. Now I will roll for something. Oh my goodness. I don't even know what that means. Did you roll a nat 20? Yes. I rolled an actual 20. Wait, this was for what?
00:29:18
Speaker
This is to see what the sponsors left you with where you started. Everything we need to win this thing. We have we have machine guns.
00:29:30
Speaker
and body armor. You know what, in the underlie is extra coating, like an extra piece of leather, which would give you an extra plus, I want to say plus two to your armor class. And
00:29:51
Speaker
I don't know. This is like crazy because I can, I literally can do it. Um, it can come with one extra perk of your choice. So like if you want an antidote for something, or if you want oil for a burn, or if you want a med, not like a full on med kit, but if you're like, I need need like right now or like right now. Okay.
00:30:14
Speaker
So this is not being sent to us in the arena. No, you are literally going to put it on. It's in a coat pocket or like one of your pockets. Okay. Can I have a lasso? That's huge. No. I'm talking, I'm talking like... I'll go full cowboy on this then. So not a weapon, but something that... Well, it could be like a tiny dagger or like,
00:30:43
Speaker
a shuriken shuriken shuriken like a like a throwing like one like not a dagger but like one of those things that you like throwing there yeah throwing that's it okay um go ahead all right oh no you can go no no go
00:31:02
Speaker
I wonder what you're gonna say. Okay, I'll go. Can I have steroids? Yeah, sure. Something like that'll shoot me up and give me like... Like an adrenaline shot? Yeah, an adrenaline shot for like... I don't know, I don't... Up to you how long it lasts. Sure. I'll leave that to your discretion, but... Okay, yeah. You can definitely tell me. I'm definitely the brawn, not the brain. Okay. That's what I... Sounds good. Is your adrenaline shot? Yeah, we can do that.
00:31:30
Speaker
I was gonna say like, I think a small knife. Okay. Something not like a pocket knife. So like big enough to be able to, I don't know, do something with, but obviously not like a huge thing. Sure. Yeah. Okay.
00:31:44
Speaker
Yep. So you get a knife that is, what do you call it? It does a D4 of damage if you hit, but you have proficiency in it. So you get a plus two for a hit. And Mike, your adrenaline shot will give you basically, if it's like a battle, if you're like, and we're in combat time, it will give you,
00:32:13
Speaker
an extra three rounds. Wait, is it three? No, five rounds. It'll give you an extra five rounds. So basically it'll give you half your hit points back if it's in combat time. If it's not in combat time, then you get, yeah. So half your hit points back in combat time. If it's not combat time, then you can basically boost everything double for five minutes.
00:32:43
Speaker
Did you decide on armor classes at 12 now? Yes. Yeah. It's all physical stats. So like strength. Yeah. Like, I don't think it gives me more intelligence. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, it might even give you less charisma, but it would give you advantage with it that actually as well. Oh, man. I can't believe I rolled a natural 20 with helping you. I want to die.
00:33:12
Speaker
Some have greatness to rest upon them. Yes. Story of my life. No, I'm just kidding. Right. So your designer says, I'm going to hook you up. Okay. I just, I don't, somebody just dropped these things off. So let me walk you through it. And so he walks you through the adrenaline shot and your extra layer of leather. And he says, make sure do not rip off the sleeves.
00:33:40
Speaker
And he says, just, you know, if you take this off, you lose your armor, like the extra piece. So just keep that in mind. Yeah. If you need it, there is also a hood in there. Just it's a hidden hood. Is it leather or can it be like some kind of lighter material? Well, leather in my eyes, the lightest. But yeah, it could be like it's a light material. It's not like going to kill you in the heat.
00:34:09
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I was concerned about. No, you're fine. I'm not going to penalize that. Yeah. And donate sleeves. If you take the sleeves off, you lose a point. And so then he's like, yeah, guys, you got it. And yours is like, all right, Ariana, you got don't worry. We got it. You're going to represent and Mike, you be the cowboy is cowboy out there.
00:34:37
Speaker
There you go. Show what you're worth and don't forget to smile. Did we ever talk about like what our little, what's the word, is like talisman or like something that we were able to take from home? Oh no, but you can do. I don't know if we were able to get that. No, but you can't. I don't know that it's actually, if it's even important. I don't know either. I didn't know there was significance. Oh, that's why Katniss has the little gold pin. I always thought that was figure. I thought that the...
00:35:07
Speaker
The pin was bigger? No, like it was not necessarily a representation of just District 12. It was like there was something more behind the actual pin. Oh, eventually, as the story goes on, it kind of becomes the symbol of the rebellion.
00:35:24
Speaker
Originally, it's just for her sister. Yeah. Right. So technically, as of right now, it doesn't necessarily make a difference. You can talk about it if you want, but do you know the pen is? Or you can quickly make it up. No, it doesn't have to be a pen. Well, you can make it up whatever it is. Like what I want to bring from home. Yeah. Yeah. I don't have a really reason for this, but I want a cow eyeball. It's like dried. So. OK. OK.
00:35:54
Speaker
Sure. It might come in handy later. You have some darkness in you. Your character has some darkness, not you. Your character has some darkness. All right, Mike, what are you bringing?
00:36:10
Speaker
I was going to say it's first, but it has to be hidden, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Why not? I rolled a big old belt buckle. Got a bottle opener on the inside too. Sure. Why not? All right. Cool.
00:36:33
Speaker
Okay, so now that all this craziness has happened you are oh and they say do not leave the platform before the the cannon because you will die and they look at you super serious as you're like being lifted up and

Chaos at the Cornucopia

00:36:58
Speaker
And you guys are taking, now you are in the arena and you see the, I assume that everybody raises and they can see the cornucopia, but Luke, you are on the half of the circle that's closer to the cornucopia. Davita, you're about middle. And from what your perspective, Davita, is you see the cornucopia.
00:37:23
Speaker
You see the river or the lake, then you see forest on the left and you see more forest on the right. You see the field, it literally like behind you, like just the open field. And Luke, you see it, you see those things, but you are probably more closer to the cornucopia than anything. I mean, do you want to know anything else about it? If you do, you need to roll perception. Otherwise, the cannon will blow.
00:37:49
Speaker
I want to see if there's any weapons or backpacks near me that I could easily get. Um, roll perception. Oh, that's a nat 20. Oh, okay. Perfect. What are you looking for exactly? I'm hoping for some sort of survival pack, maybe has a weapon in it. Like, yeah, something like what Katniss got in the beginning of it. I'm going to take her backpack. So, so there's the cornucopia, there's the, there's the,
00:38:17
Speaker
big like shuttle that has the stuff in it that has obviously the bags and stuff but near you there's probably one with the weapon near more the force and field connection but there's still but there's more bags in the middle that have probably the same thing
00:38:38
Speaker
Since I saw, since I rolled a net 20, do I see if they have any electronic supplies or anything for like making bombs or yeah, fooling with electricity or something like that in the in the cornucopia? Um, I don't think you could make make, well,
00:38:58
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think so. No, it's more of just weaponry. There are bombs. You could probably, with a natural 20, you could see probably some of the mines, not mines. Yeah, mines that are scattered about. Okay. Luke, did you want to roll perception or anything?
00:39:21
Speaker
I rolled to find specifically a sword, bow and arrow, and a spear. Okay. 16, 13, and a nat 20. You don't need to roll individually. No, there's no time to do multiple looks. You roll once. Okay. So it was 16. Okay. 16. I thought you would be asking me for one each. No, no, no.
00:39:46
Speaker
16. I mean, you see a load of swords, you see a great sword, you see a small sword, you see them everywhere.
00:40:00
Speaker
There's loads of swords. There is, what was the last thing? There's five or six spears, but you can't, like, there's no specific, it's just spread out. Can I see a specific spot that had like the highest amount of them? Well, you could see like the weapon rack in the Cornucope, yeah. Five, four, three, two, one.
00:40:29
Speaker
So, so Davida, what are you doing? I'm running towards that cornucopia as fast as I can. So I want you to roll perception and it's 80 feet. I'm using my whole dash. So roll perception. So 20, 50 feet. And I roll 15. So with a, with a 15, I think you see the same. If you're running, especially running towards the cornucopia. So you see,
00:40:56
Speaker
This might change your perspective. You see Tabitha Thresh basically thumb rushed the guy from District 5. Yeah, he does. He does the bloodbath. Yeah, I knew that. I knew that was going to happen. That's meta knowledge. I'm not surprised by that. That's why I didn't try and get to know him at all.
00:41:22
Speaker
And then, loop, roll, perception. Tell me what you're doing to roll perception. Are you running? Oh, yeah. Hopefully, like, beside the careers, so we can do it all together. But I'm not going to, like... Yeah, most of them are going towards the cornucopia. Yeah, I'm not going to stop if they're not. If one of them's a coward, we. I'm not going to stop them, but... Sorry, perception. Yes. And 11.
00:41:49
Speaker
I'm gonna say you could probably see at the same time, but you can also see Thresh taking out District 5 guy. I don't care.
00:42:01
Speaker
Okay, that's fine. For what you want to see, you probably do, in that same instance, see Davida at least running that way. And your... And Clove and the other two. And probably District 3. Yeah, Marble and... Yeah.
00:42:25
Speaker
Yeah, they're all running that way. But you can't see where Mike and Ariana are. And just four people are okay. Um, as of right now, sure. Sure. Okay. So
00:42:42
Speaker
You are closer. So yours is about 60 feet. Okay. So you, you can use your full dash and I think you get there this turn. I would, yes. Um, yeah. Out of curiosity, I don't know if I have to roll again or if I just don't know at all. Uh, what's up with the, uh, the, uh, the district three people. So district three, what's up with district three. They are going towards the current Copia.
00:43:29
Speaker
gonna die if you say persuasion persuasion I guess yeah can I persuade them to be like you will die if you get out of here like genuinely concerned sure you have all of the careers chasing after weapons right now I would get out and try to save yourselves as much as you can roll
00:43:34
Speaker
they seem slower than us?
00:43:47
Speaker
uh seven no five you make them cry so hard and they're in the cornucopia with you that marvel actually the the guy actually is in the
00:44:04
Speaker
in the cornucopia with you. The girl's not there yet. The guy's there. And Marvell is getting super frustrated with these guys. Now, Davida, go for it. What are you doing? Are you still heading straight towards the cornucopia? Indeed I am. How about that? Yes. That is just your movement. So your action is no longer... So you have an action to do in the cornucopia.
00:44:31
Speaker
Okay, so I will grab a weapon. Okay, which weapon? So I can look it up and give you the stats. Oh, I don't know if I can literally stab a person right in front of me. So maybe I'll go for a bow and arrow. Okay, yeah, roll. Also roll perception, you wish. Or a throwing knife. From from my knowledge of you.
00:44:53
Speaker
From my knowledge of you, you're great at archery. I don't know who you are with throwing. Oh yes, Davita is good at archery. Throwing knives, that's true. I'm pretty good at archery, so I'll grab a bow and arrow. Okay, that's fine. So from there, so you have the bow and arrow.
00:45:14
Speaker
Okay. So that is one D eight piercing. And you get with that, I mean, literally so far, no one's coming after you actually. Do you get 10 arrows next to that bow? You can look for more, but that's what I give you for free. So you can roll perception or investigation. One of the two. See who I'm going to shoot at. Sure.
00:45:39
Speaker
Shoot at somebody. I rolled seven. Seven? Yeah, no one has it. You can tell that the careers are in the corner company.
00:45:50
Speaker
Okay, and they're not targeting me, right? As of right now, no. Marvell is, with that perception, you can tell that Marvell is gonna swing at the guy, the District 3 little guy. I have the two girls behind me, correct, District 2 and District 5. Glimmer and Clove are behind me. Yes, yeah. Clove is with you and Glimmer. But I am, I am, just to confirm, I am the cato of this,
00:46:19
Speaker
of this podcast correct yeah in a way people respect me most of the of the careers i wouldn't say that and you do change the different dynamic but yeah so that so you see the careers to be what you do with that you just said he's gonna attack the district three males that right he's the mind guy because because he's crying wow i cannot believe you guys neither of you have been hit yet like
00:46:46
Speaker
I'm rolling like phrasing, no hitting, nothing. They know not to mess with us. We're the careers. Yes. So, yeah. So you're just watching him beat on District 3 guy? Well, if I take him out, I know where the vines are, so we don't necessarily need the vine kid. But we'll marvel, get mad at me if I kill him.
00:47:08
Speaker
Well, I'm going to since he's the only one I see and and I know that he's going to set minds later. I can do that. I know how to do that. So I'm going to kill him or shoot him to wait. Shoot it, Mark. OK. OK, just get from three in really defensive of my people away from three. We will mess you up if you betray us.
00:47:32
Speaker
Wait, what district are you from, too? So there's no Kato, right? No Kato. He's Kato. He is Kato. Yeah, well, sure. I just want to make sure Kato's not around because, man, he's one fierce dude. Okay. I don't have anything for that. So roll 15. 15 hit. Roll for damage. Okay. It's a two.
00:47:56
Speaker
Alright, nice. So, you kind of, uh, you aim, and he, he's so focused on Marvel that, uh, you, and it just cuts him in the shoulder, even in the neck, maybe? Make a cool scar for him, why not? And then, uh, and then, from behind, oh yeah, roll deck save. Oh, wow. This is gonna be horrible. Uh, forward?
00:48:25
Speaker
Yeah, so District 3 girl basically just jumps on your back and attacks. That hits, and... You've taken 8 damage, and what are you doing, Luke? You said you wanted to do something? Yeah, I shoot with the bow and arrow. Okay. Just whatever, get her off, Davida. Okay. This Davida's kind of cool.
00:48:52
Speaker
shoot away. And I have just proficiency? Yes. Do you have proficiency? In real life I have expertise. You have expertise. I'll give you proficiency if you have expertise. Okay. Plus district two. So training my whole life for this. That's fair. So proficiency. And what was the damage on a bow?
00:49:18
Speaker
A bow, I believe. 1d8. That's Dex, right. But to hit, just my Dex plus, sorry, 18. 18 to hits, that hits. Three damage. To her. Which isn't helpful, but to at least get her off. It does not get her off. Plus, extra bolts for Davida to use. Yeah, there you go. So, yeah, sure. So, Luke went, Davida, do you want to do something?
00:49:46
Speaker
And hopefully the other two are with me. Yes, they will be doing stuff as well. I am screaming. I don't know. Can I attack? Yeah, she's she's on your face. Like her fingernails are my eyes.

Teamwork and Survival

00:50:00
Speaker
She scratched my eyes. You can do you can try and throw off for you. You can you can throw you can try and flip onto the ground. You tell me what you want to do.
00:50:11
Speaker
I don't know if it's better to, well, I can't do that in real life. The cameras will love it.
00:50:20
Speaker
I don't know if I want to try and like flip her off me, probably do that. Or no, she's in front of me. I don't know. I'm going to try and grab her hands and kind of like twist them so they can try and like grab her arms and kind of throw her away from me sort of maybe do some. Roll a strength check and I'll do strength save.
00:50:42
Speaker
Oh, I'm sorry, I was sharpening a new pencil. So I could poke it in her eyes. Let's see, where's my dice? Uh-oh, that's not a good roll, let's see. So that was a five. Five, action.
00:51:05
Speaker
that oh no okay um that doesn't work yeah she's just holding on so tightly to your face and yeah um so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna roll for i'm gonna look at uh you lube gonna be like is she really worth it we're good right you know we have us we just gonna take care of this little dude and we could take care of her later
00:51:34
Speaker
yes we have we have talked about this and she is very very helpful it's true that's true okay you know what okay and he just grabs a spear you don't even persuade just no just just that just need to know your opinion okay they met um marvel mrs clove hits with one of her knives it's a
00:51:58
Speaker
for one damage. So just hold it on. And I wonder if she's getting tighter around your face. Get her off me! Get her off me! What was the other girl's name? Shimmer?
00:52:13
Speaker
Glimmer. I think you're right, I think it's Glimmer. She misses as well. So, then there is... Okay, he misses big time. I'm gonna die right now, guys. Then it's... Oh, that's the girl on me, right? She's a 12 hit. Oh no, I'm sorry, it is a 13 hit.
00:52:37
Speaker
I have armor class 10, and I don't have any dexterity modifiers. So yeah, that hits. Okay. She... How much damage? Am I gonna die right now? She does two damage. Yep, don't into death saves. That was the remainder of my life right there. So you're in death saves. So you fall to the ground, Davida. Do you scream anything?
00:53:05
Speaker
I'm, I'm going to say I'm blinded because she did scratch my eyes. Yeah, definitely. Like, even if it's maybe just a temporary debt, like I come back and I'll regain my sight. But right now I'm like kind of basically on the floor, like writing because I cannot see. Sure. Sure. I know I'm not dead yet. Yeah. Roll one desk. Yeah. Okay. Above 10. It's 10 and above. 10 and above. It's a safe.
00:53:32
Speaker
Oh gosh, that was close, that was 11. Okay, so one save. One save, one success. And now, Luke, what are you doing? How far is Davida from me? At least 20 feet. Okay, so I can do that. Yeah. Medical expertise. Ghost. Medical expertise, all right. Okay. I'm going to roll something.
00:53:53
Speaker
Okay, that's fine. District three, girl runs, bandits, the other people, and I'm just going to do a few roles. Okay. Just to fill in a time. I do have expertise in medicine. No, you have proficiency in medicine. Okay. I was just applying it because it was like my current like study. Sure. I understand.
00:54:18
Speaker
And then Mar-Vell gets attacked by the District 3 guy and gets hit, which now it's to be the chance to make another death save. I don't, medical. I mean, I was thinking your perception and your running was your turn. Now you can do your medical. Okay, 13, enough to...
00:54:46
Speaker
13 is you can, you know what, I'll say with your knowledge, 13 is enough. So you can stabilize her, but it doesn't mean she's up. It just means she's not dead or dying anymore. Do I have one life point? You are still at zero, but you are. So you can, at your next turn,
00:55:07
Speaker
You can gain one life and a life plan. That's it. OK. Yeah. But right now you're at zero. Was Luke's turn before me? Is that? No, it's after you. OK. So I did have two successes, but yes. Yeah. OK. So now it'll be after everybody's turn. Yeah. Then you'll pop up. So I'm going to make other roles. Oh, OK. OK. Interesting.
00:55:34
Speaker
As you were checking for a pulse. Okay. Okay. Interesting. Oh no. Okay. Everything's gone wrong in the cornucopia. Okay. So actually I need to roll. Okay. Um, Marvell basically goes down.
00:55:56
Speaker
He doesn't have more life for HP or whatever than others. He does, yes. He does? And he goes down? And he goes down. I'm like, we have 10. He's got to have at least double what we have. Not double, but quite a lot more. Now, then Thresh came and he got Clove out. He, for some reason, he got Clove out. Wow. Yeah.
00:56:24
Speaker
This is changing the game like crazy. It's not like it's going to be at all. I know dice rolls. I know. Yeah. Now back to let's just say all that happened. Now we're back to Davida, Europe. You're back kind of up with one health and you're blind, kind of. I say your perception is halved. Let's say I won't be able to.
00:56:46
Speaker
I would say I probably wouldn't actually regain sight until maybe I have maybe very blurry, I would say. I think it makes more sense for me not to be able to properly see until I'm at least at two health points or three. I'll take that. I mean, yeah, I'll say two. Because I think that at this point, yeah, I cannot see very well or barely just because I got scratched in the eyes.
00:57:14
Speaker
I'm not happy. You see Davida kind of disoriented, but she's out. I'll be doing like stereotypical nurse things specifically for the cameras. Like, follow my fingers, follow my fingers. Good, good, good. Okay. No, I don't see it. I can't. Pretend you see it. Like, water, you can splash to my eyes. You're gonna be okay, but it's gonna take some time.
00:57:38
Speaker
Uh, do you go back to the careers or do you stay like, what did you do? And what do you want to do to be there? What do you want to communicate with Luke? What happened? What's happening? I can't, I don't, I can't see what's happening. Uh, should we run to the forest? Should we get back into the cornucopia? What's happened? I can't, I don't know what happened to the Vita and be like, a lot of people are dead. Oh my goodness. Wait, who? Like how?
00:58:06
Speaker
Then you see in the cornucopia entrance, you see a guy and a girl. Okay. Both passive. So I'm going to point at them and say, so is that glimmer and who's the other guy? I'm asking you, Luke. I don't, I don't think I know. I don't think I have movement to turn around to see, but if I, if I move into turn around and see, I will. Roll a deck save now, Luke. Okay. Yeah. 17.
00:58:35
Speaker
17 perfect. Do you have a spear land right next to you? Did it seem aggressive? Or can I turn around and say? I don't know. My thought is it's either somebody trying to kill me, which is highly likely. And the other one is that they're like, Oh, cool, you've been looking for the spear. Here you go. Here's your spear. But
00:59:01
Speaker
Yeah, but we could be friends in the Hunger Games. What's wrong with that? I'm going to take my bow and arrows and try and shoot at one of the two figures that I see silhouettes of with disadvantage of assuming. Yes, obviously. That's a four. Yeah, you missed.
00:59:24
Speaker
Then it's my turn. Sure. Yeah, go for it. Which I believe is less than ideal, correct? That's a d6. A d6 for a spear? Is it? I think so. I think you're right, yeah. Yes, because if you, you know, let me just Google it and just make sure. I'm concerned about how quick Mike knew that, but cool. Is it? It's easy to know.
00:59:46
Speaker
Like was it? Yep. 100%. Yeah. I can check too. I have. So did you throw this beer? Yes. Oh, 12. Misses. Misses. Okay.
01:00:04
Speaker
probably get out of here uh or should we i can't fight really do you want to try and fight them luke or should we just run into the forest fine okay you gotta leave me because i can't see very well can i just like carry her uh you see another spear coming at you can i carry her
01:00:27
Speaker
Give it a go. Is that fine with you? If I try to carry it? That's fine. Let's just get out of here. I don't know if 16 is enough. Sure, it's fine. All right, General Grievous, this. I'll run it. You just hug people. I don't have, I guess I have bow arrows to stab people with. That's the only weapon I have. Grab a backpack on our way out, Luke. I shall do that.
01:00:54
Speaker
Back on the way that I could try to grab. So are you going, Luke, are you going away from the lake? Don't go to the forest. You're going to go towards the forest behind you if you're facing the lake.
01:01:11
Speaker
The forest is going to catch on fire, threshes in the wheat fields, and well, the lake is right next to the cornucopia. So maybe we should go to the forest behind the lake or something, because I don't know. I don't think that we have anything there. I'll let you leave the way.
01:01:32
Speaker
Like, which way do you want me to run? And I'll run that direction. Oh, sure. Like, go around the lake. Go around the lake. Go around the lake. So you're heading towards the lake. Are you going to go to the right side or to the left side? Quick. Quick, Davida. Which way am I running? Either way. I don't care. Quick. Right. The right side. OK. So you're going to go down the right side. And before it happens, I'm running and trying to focus on if people are coming to stab them.
01:01:59
Speaker
But, so, roll stealth for me if you guys are gonna hide. 21. 21, okay, great, that's really good. Oh, no, that's not wrong. 19, sorry. 19, okay, that's fine. I added my proficiency. David, are you gonna hide or? Wait, sorry, I just, yes. You can get help from Luke because you're still discombobulated. Okay.
01:02:25
Speaker
So wait. So you just get advantage? Hiding? Yeah. Okay. That's 19. 19. Cool. So you guys are pretty well hidden. Are you like, Luke, are you like directly on the line between the lake and the forest? Or are you like in it kind of? What's the picture you want to paint? I'm not sure. I'm not actually looking at the map right now.
01:02:50
Speaker
I'm just a picture that we're in a bush probably looking out towards the lake with a lion looking for severs kind of way. Four, three, two, one. Okay. You hear the cannon. What do you do?
01:03:10
Speaker
to the right side of the corner copian where like the stuff's like strewn out and then okay so you're gonna go towards the lake yeah i want to search for like a rope okay um role perception how are you dead set on i'm looking for this or if you like i need to look around at the same time
01:03:32
Speaker
I need to look around me at the same time. I'm looking for other things too, but my main goal is like a rope. Rope perception. Rope flat perception. Nineteen. Nineteen. Okay. You definitely see rope. An individual rope is there and it's around other things, but you're not sure. Well, actually, no, you can. How long is the rope? I don't know. You can't know that from running to it. It's a coil of rope. It's a coil of rope. Big, like a big coil of rope or?
01:04:05
Speaker
These are important things. And now I need you. I mean, you see, I just got to roll. The guy from District 5 just gets demolished by Thresh. And you see, so far everybody else is okay. A few moments later. Oh, okay. Because it's you. I need you to roll a deck save.
01:04:34
Speaker
Me? Yes. Dirty modifier? Yes. So that's a 15. Okay. You got like an 18, didn't you? I get it. Well, I got a 17 really. So you are being attacked by District 3. What's their thing? They are, I'm looking out now. Boy or girl? Girl. All right. It's pretty brave.
01:05:02
Speaker
Yeah, they're just going for you. So I'm just going to roll one other thing. See if she's behind you. So yeah, basically she just jumps on your back and she's going to make an attack.
01:05:18
Speaker
Wait, yeah, because she misses. So she jumps on you and she tries to like scratch your back or something and she basically misses. Like she can't, she's not doing anything to you. So you have the district three girl on your back. What are you doing? Oh, she's still on my back.
01:05:38
Speaker
Yeah, she got you. She just had she's just trying to attack me and she can't find my eyes. Yeah. Yeah. And she's not happy. So you reach back and like throw her like over my head. OK, roll. Yeah. Yeah. Roll and grapple. It's still strength. Yeah. Roll strength modifier. It's a.
01:06:03
Speaker
Okay, she, you do that, and she's like, she's able to hold on to you. So you try and grab her, but she is in front of me. Yeah, she's basically in front of you and you can't see. What? Because she's in front of you. Does she have any weapon or is she just holding on to me?
01:06:26
Speaker
A while, at least. Yeah, she's just trying to go for it. While that's happening, what are you doing, Ariana?
01:06:34
Speaker
So I also want to head towards the lake. I want to pick up that shield or bottle thing, whatever you said there was a combination of. Okay. Can you let me know exactly or I guess whether I pick it up or not that I'll really find out what it is, right? Yes. And how far is Mike and also that object? Role perception. Okay.
01:06:57
Speaker
And we'd have to at least be a good 30, maybe even 40 feet at that point, but go on. That's seven. Seven? You can't tell. So might it be even that far from me or the object is that far?
01:07:10
Speaker
Both. Oh, okay. I didn't realize you were that far super far. Oh, cause he already started running. Yes. Yeah. Okay. So I'll do a dash, I guess. Okay. Go for it. And now I gotta do some roles for you. But I've seen like what I'm assuming I could see that she attacked him. And so I'm, you don't know who you can see, you do, you can see that somebody jumped on somebody. Yeah. So I don't know who, okay.
01:07:38
Speaker
Now I got a roll finish. Okay. Oh my goodness. While I'm running, I take my knife out just in case. And yeah, you're, you're pretty clear. Like others are having interactions with others, probably maybe not. But yeah, in the end you do see my getting jumped. Yeah. Getting this interaction happening. Um, you're welcome to join it. Are you going to join it? If you're not, that's fine. But
01:08:05
Speaker
I'm holding her, right? Yeah, you're holding her in front of you at this moment. I think my quick thought process is it looks like he's handling it well. And if we're going to work together, we're going to need some kind of supplies. So I'm still going for the items. OK, yeah, you're welcome to get them. No one else is necessarily around you. Do I just pick it up? Yeah, I get it. Is there anything else right by it that I could also easily scoop up?
01:08:34
Speaker
Well, you rolled a natural 20 to find this, I think. So you can tell me what you find. Okay. But it's more supplies heavy rather than weapon heavy. Right. Yeah. I mean, I think of this, my, my mindset is just to like grab whatever I can. Would there be any kind of like bag of some sort, even like a backpack in the center, but that's like backpack full of probably all the best stuff. Right.
01:09:00
Speaker
Yeah, but I mean, there's a small backpack that has some stuff. Yeah. Okay. I want the small backpack too.

Confrontations and Alliances

01:09:08
Speaker
Sure. And the shield and the water and the rope. Sure. Mike was going for the rope. Please? Especially if it fits in the backpack. I'll just go shopping and you kill a few people on the way.
01:09:27
Speaker
Okay, okay, now back to Mike. So you have her in front of you. What are you doing? Or no, now it's her turn. She's gonna, now that she sees you, you see like this, have like this like panic look on her face, but also like. Oh gosh. Probably like, what did I just get myself into?
01:09:47
Speaker
But she's still gonna go for a hit. She's just like, I'm in, I'm in this. So she does a, oh, and definitely a 15 hits. No, well, yeah, 15, sorry. 15, yeah. So she does, she hits you for four hit points. What? Yeah, she pushes you right in the eye. Don't worry, I have a back, yep. Got a seven, all right.
01:10:16
Speaker
And I want you to roll a deck save. That's a nine. Okay. Let me roll. You trip over this like rope. You trip over the stupid rope.
01:10:36
Speaker
Yes, it's actually quite a hefty rope, so you do trip over it. So you, how much did you roll? Nine. Nine. Okay, I'm gonna go for her. She is still holding on tight. I'm holding on to her, she's holding on to me. Yes, I knew at the same time. She doesn't take damage because I tripped, like I landed on her. Hold on, hold on. Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine.
01:11:06
Speaker
She takes, actually I'll do it. She takes five damage. You land on top of her. Thank you. So now I'm on the floor and she's holding onto me. Really quick, going back to Ariana, what are you doing? I want to take in the scene really quick and just kind of quickly out of where people are.
01:11:31
Speaker
12. You can definitely see Mike is on the floor. I think I primarily want to see if like other people are heading towards him or I. You can't tell. Not with a 12. But yeah, are you going to go into the fray or are you going to go somewhere else? That's what I need to know. I did say I'd have his back.
01:12:01
Speaker
Um, I'll go, I'll help. I'll go help Mike. Okay. I don't want to go into the fray though. I'm not heading towards the center where the bullet bath is. Okay. Well, um, while you're going there, I'm going to have you, I'm going to have to roll a few things, but Mike, go ahead and tell me what you're doing. I want to punch her in the face. Okay. Go for it. It's over the tech. Nat 20.
01:12:26
Speaker
He crushes her skull. Can I crush her skull, please? Now, a normal hit with the fist is four damage. Okay. You roll the natural 20, you double that damage. So it's an eight. So it's an eight. And so you can 100% smash your skull with it. Yes!
01:12:51
Speaker
I'm like, you made me cry, right? She's dead. Yeah, she's dead. So Ariana, as you're walking up to him, you just see this blood start spattering. My eyes just get really big. And you thought I was dark. Exactly.
01:13:20
Speaker
And okay. I can't wait for the rest of them to like, hear this. So Mike, you've just done this and Ariana, you're going to Mike. What do you guys want to do? I want to stand up and do I see Ariana? Roll perception. He's got like blood splattered across his face.
01:13:46
Speaker
wild looking as well. I think that's a 14. 14? Yeah, you can see Ariana with that. Okay. I want to head towards Ariana because I think we got to get out of here. Is there anything between Mike and I as he's running towards me? I just want to yell like grab anything if you can but I've got some supplies. Okay. You can definitely yell that and then I need a deck save from you. From me? Yeah.
01:14:15
Speaker
Can you remind me how to do that? Oh, just a saving throw. Yes. And that's a D20? Yes, with a D20. Yeah. 19. 19. Yeah. You definitely missed. But you see this harpoon, like this spear fly past you.
01:14:39
Speaker
From now on, I'm going to hold my shield up kind of near my best. With the shield, you get an extra plus one in your armor class. Nice. And I want to turn around and start running, I guess. I'm not going to wait for Mike to like, I'm not going to just stand there and wait for me to catch up.
01:14:59
Speaker
I don't know. I was going to head towards the, cause the lake meets the forest, right? Yes. Yeah. If possible, I wanted to stay near the water, but that was kind of my thought of like where I was going to head. I think I saw you. So I'm just following wherever you're really talking about. Okay. Um, roll, uh, one last perception, both of us. Yes. Seven. Okay.
01:15:28
Speaker
So. So you see the. District eight guy go after Marvel, and let's see how this goes. Oh, yeah. So Ariana, no, Mike, you see this happening. What did you roll, Ariana? Seven, seven.
01:15:57
Speaker
I think I'm just running full ahead. I'm not looking back at all. I need another deck save from you. Okay. I don't think I've intimidated the people around me with the blood on my face. That's a plus one for intimidation. Maybe. That was a 19.
01:16:19
Speaker
Again, another, another spear just. How close is it to her? Cause I'm like, pick up the spear. Yeah. It literally is like. Does it like stick up like landing in the ground and I can just. Yeah, you can, you can go for it. Roll a strike set or get, roll a strength check. What's that? Just a D 20 plus your strength modifier of strength. I thought you said strike check.
01:16:50
Speaker
Uh, plus, okay. Wait, wait, wait. This is not a saving throw. No, it's just your strength modifier. That is a six. Six? You can't, you definitely cannot pull that out of the ground. Just run. I'll get it as I go. I'm holding too many things. You got my rope? I got you, bro. I got plans for that rope.
01:17:19
Speaker
Oh my goodness. Okay. This is crazy. Okay. District eight, both the girl and the guy go after Marvell. And so I need to do a bit of rolling, but you guys tell me, you guys get away. You don't know what happens to Marvell. Can I grab the spear on my way? Roll a strength check. 17.
01:17:45
Speaker
uh 17 yeah you pull that thing out you can yeah you can pull the one out you can't pull the other one yeah okay so now you have a spear okay so you guys are in the not in the clear but your uh role perception you're gonna do a lot of perception or even survival both are just either or
01:18:09
Speaker
What would survival be? Oh, there is one. I'm like, they're the same for me. So yeah, 14. Yeah, they're off. They're both off wisdom. Yeah, that's 19. Okay. 1419.
01:18:28
Speaker
You are clear. So we don't see anything? Yeah. Well, you can also, yeah, you basically see that with a 19, you can feel that you're okay. And you can see around you. I'd rather nobody chasing us or something. Yeah, there's no one chasing me. So we're on like the beach of the, what's it like? The lake then? Are we next to the forest? Yeah, well, it's up to you.
01:18:53
Speaker
That was where I wanted to head, yeah. Like kind of where the lake meets the forest. Yeah, Carrie, what do you what do you want to do? Do you want to head into the forest? Carry out role play. This is a role play. For whatever reason, I felt like we were done. I was like, all right, we got out. Not done yet. So Ariana, like, man, we made it.
01:19:23
Speaker
Well, we made it this far. I like the new look. Oh, I reached out and grabbed some water like wipe off with it. Do you want to, what do you want to do next? Should we find shelter or like, what are you, what are you thinking? Yeah, I think the sooner we can find somewhere out of sight, the better than I can take a closer look at what we have in our supplies.
01:19:47
Speaker
see how we can divvy things up and make a plan as far as where to get food, how to get water, et cetera. So I guess we want to search out a, I don't know if there's some sort of like, I don't know, terms of nature. What I would say is as of now, you can roll stealth to see if you can hide. Yeah, there

Strategic Planning

01:20:10
Speaker
you go.
01:20:10
Speaker
And as you hear, as you're doing this, you do hear another cannon go off. Just one? Yeah, just one. Okay. So we'll find out tonight though. You'll hear what? Yeah. I got a nine for stuff. I got 11. Okay. What else did you want to do?
01:20:32
Speaker
Well, once we were able to hide, I want to take a closer look at what I got in. I mean, you're technically hiding, whether it's good or not, you're not sure. What do you mean? I mean, if we hit, it's just whether somebody sees us. Yeah, he's going to figure that out. Yeah. But you can carry on looking at your stuff. You can roll the investigation. Okay. Roll investigation to look at what we got.
01:20:57
Speaker
Oh, okay. She's rolling, right? Because I don't have the stuff. 15. 15. I need a track of everything I got. There's a field, a small backpack, right? Yes. Water. And I got a water bottle. Did it have water in it? Or did it have like something in it to purify water?
01:21:21
Speaker
It did not have water in it, but it has something to purify water. Hey, this is her choice. She asked me a question. I roll. I gave her the opportunity to get whatever she wants. And she's the one asking me. I don't know. You're the game maker. You get to decide these things. No, no, no. When you just doesn't go that detailed in his world. When you roll a natural 20, you make up what you get.
01:21:50
Speaker
That's probably what it feels like anyway. While she's looking at her stuff, I'm going to ask her, hey, can I have that rope? It's a rope so bad. I will show you. What do you want to do with it? I want to make a lasso. Because I want to choke some people out, all right? I never was very good at lasso training class.
01:22:18
Speaker
The rope's all yours. Awesome. How long is this rope? Well, since I picked it up and I rolled in that 20, don't I? Sure. Yeah, sure. How long is it, Aria? I don't know. Too long to be a less so. Ideal length. Well, it doesn't matter. It's too long. I have a knife. We can cut it. Yeah, exactly.
01:22:46
Speaker
What? You can Google how long it lasts. 200 feet? Wow. That's a huge asset. We can do lots with that. We can cut this out. Hey, I got more plans for rope, okay? I can do a lot more rope. All right. If it's 200 feet, I want to cut off, let's see, like 20 feet. No, 30 feet and make a lasso out of it. Okay. And then I'm going to cut another 15 feet and I'm going to make a whip.
01:23:14
Speaker
Like I'm going full cowboy. Yeah, do I need to roll anything or am I like roll sleight of hand or sleight of hand performance? All right. It's a 15. Is that for both or should I roll twice? Yeah, roll twice. 15 and a 19.
01:23:39
Speaker
15 and 19. Yeah, they come out okay. I mean, the 19's a lot better. That one can actually, that one's the whip, or was that the last one? The whip, yeah, that one actually can do damage. So you can use that for a proper weapon. You can do a D6 of damage for the last, so it's decent. It's not gonna last forever, but it's decent. And you also got the spear, right?
01:24:06
Speaker
Yes, you also have a spear. Yes. Let me look that up. I do not have so many weapons. Hold on, sorry. Just editing something. So the lasso is no damage though. No, I mean you can use it and it might cause damage, whatever you use it for. Yeah, it's more grapple-like. Yeah, it's more grapple-like. I want to like get it around somebody, I want to like throw it and get like D20 and wrap it around somebody's neck so bad.
01:24:37
Speaker
from up in a tree and then pull it. And while I do it, I'm gonna be like, yee-haw! District 10 has a wild, wild west park side. Perfect. Okay, so I'm going to do a quick roll. What was the spear? Wait, I didn't get to see what was in my backpack.
01:25:09
Speaker
Okay. Welcome to my world. What's the spear damage?
01:25:17
Speaker
Oh, right, Spear. I forgot I was looking at him. The strangest thing just happened to me. It's a d6 piercing, but you can do range, so you can throw it. Okay, so it's piercing with range. Yes, it's a d6. And the whip would be kind of a ranged weapon too, right? Yeah, let me. Yes, yes.
01:25:37
Speaker
yeah probably yeah 15 so it'd be a range for 15 feet yeah or yeah 15 feet is like the max damage you might get disadvantage if they're too close yeah okay
01:25:49
Speaker
Are we wearing like what Katniss is wearing basically in this, like there's a jacket. Yes. But in your jacket has a, or is it your, it's up to you. Is it in your jacket or is it in your underlying shirt? The armor. That has the armor. I feel like we would have put it on under everything else. Okay. Cow hide right next to us. Yeah.
01:26:18
Speaker
So in my backpack, I have a, like, I don't know what you call it, can like a, I don't know the name, like something to build fire. Like Flint. Flint. Okay. Is that better than matches? A magnesium and Flint. Okay. I would not have known that. Okay. The only reason I know that is because of survivor.
01:26:46
Speaker
Um, and then that we also have in there, I'm basically, I'm kind of picturing like the little backpack Katniss picked up. And I believe in there, she had a little backpack. I mean, she had a little backpack in the little bag, a sleeping bag, but like one that was like, well, it was a like tightly rolled up. So I'm going to say there was also that.
01:27:12
Speaker
and an additional water bottle with like purifier thing in it. Yeah. So we have two water bottles. Yes, we have two water bottles. Nice. And two granola bars. I like it. Great. Perfect. I got a question

Forming Alliances and Distrust

01:27:30
Speaker
for Jesse, the DM. How long does it take to recover health? You need a long rest or you can do a short rest. So a long rest is eight hours. A short rest is four hours.
01:27:41
Speaker
Okay, so basically the end of the night is basically Yeah, you basically need to survive until the night and then you can roll your health, which is I think a D eight. And you can get that back or you can wait until the morning and you can get your full health back.
01:28:00
Speaker
So you said a short rest, you would roll a D8. Yeah, because you have these things go hit point, hit, hit point, die, hit, die, which is your, which allows you to gain back a certain amount of hit points in the day. Okay.
01:28:15
Speaker
which is, yeah, with the short rest. Long rest is always automatically restored. Yeah. Okay. And so Mike, did you, you made your whip and Lasso already? Yes. Yeah. So I would say you've been hiding. Okay. Uh, you've been there for at least an hour or two then. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to say like,
01:28:37
Speaker
might be a good time to kind of scope things out how they're looking. I don't know how far we are, if we can even see from this distance, if we can tell if there's people still fighting. But I want to suggest like, let's maybe try to move in a little bit further or secure a more advantageous spot. Well, I'll tell you right now.
01:28:57
Speaker
And you, so others are looking for you and you have been spotted. So you hear, you hear a few, a few of them. Hey, district 10, get over here, face us. Roll perception or insight, insight, yeah, roll insight. 16. 10. You know, for sure it's not a district three. Definitely not district three.
01:29:27
Speaker
So it was, so it's district two, Clove, the girl, not Luke. Not Luke. And Rue and Thresh. Okay, I could see that Thresh. Oh, is Clove not with the careers then? She's just... How did that tell the story? Rue and Thresh are district 11.
01:29:56
Speaker
I feel like they would have teamed up with Clove just to get her away from the careers and then take her out. They're not good. You have a relationship with Thresh, right? Unspoken. Well, you've been dating? Well, not, oh my God. Jesse, why you gotta take it there? This is survival. We need some humor in this. We have this unspoken mutual understanding, mutual respect.
01:30:25
Speaker
At least as far as I think alongside it. All right. What do you do? How far off are they? Are we near them or do we see them? They're about a good 80 feet. OK. But they sounded like angry, not like, hey. It's clove. So. Oh, it was her yelling. OK. Roll inside in there. 11. 18.
01:30:53
Speaker
Uh, yeah, it wasn't, it was like an aggressive tone, but you're, yeah, it wasn't, it didn't seem like they're going to kill you. Okay. I think in the Hunger Games, an aggressive tone is enough for me to think someone wants to kill me. Okay. That's how you take it. That's how you take it. It wasn't aggressive. We see that it's Rue and Thresh in district two, right? Yeah. I'm not that afraid. You hear, you hear, come out. Come on guys. We see you already.
01:31:22
Speaker
What are you doing? We've seen this far away. I think we step out. Just that you can step out. You can't tell us what Ariana does. Well, I'm talking to Ariana right now. OK, I think you're talking to me. I'm role playing here, sir. I'm sorry. Good. I'll sit back. I'll sit back and relax. I'm going to role play. All right, Ariana. I don't I don't know if they mean this in the arm. I don't trust District 2, whatever her name is. I don't know.
01:31:49
Speaker
close.

New Alliances and District Dynamics

01:31:51
Speaker
I think she's all that. Yeah, I don't trust her. But I don't think Ru's gonna do anything to us. I don't think she has it in her. And Thresh is intimidating, but I think I could take it. And we've got enough weapons and shields. We are pretty well equipped. Yeah, I think we have the advantage in
01:32:13
Speaker
Well, can we see if they have like weapons? Yeah. No, sir. You can't you can't see that. OK, I think. Yeah, I think we have. I mean, we have range weapons. It's not like we're. Yeah. So either we face them or we turn around and run. But I feel like I think the opportunity to make another ally ally is better than OK. All right. So we step out.
01:32:41
Speaker
Let's do this. We are ready for an attack. I have my backpack on with all the stuff inside and securely strapped on. I'm not leaving this behind or anything. All of our items are accounted for. OK, you step out and you're on our turf now. Oh, what do you mean? What are you trying to say? Welcome.
01:33:09
Speaker
No, I'm confused. A rural persuasion check. How about a confusion check? No, a persuasion or a deception check. I don't know. I don't know. Wait, where is 21? 21. Oh, you're crazy. Take district. You're crazy. Yeah. What are you doing? Damn tootin.
01:33:41
Speaker
What's going on? You got other things going? Well, I've had a pretty busy day. How about you? I mean, have you seen anybody else? Not since the cornucopia.
01:33:55
Speaker
Not since I fashioned District 3 girl's face. Yeah, I saw that. Intense. And it was like, have you, have you, you didn't see anybody? No one? Who are you looking for? Katniss. I mean, I don't have any, but I haven't seen her. Okay. Would I have seen anything that she did during the, when the cannon went off in the beginning?
01:34:24
Speaker
No. Oh, with the natural, no, no. That was a natural 20 act. I didn't know just because like 10, 11, 12, like where we, if we would have even been close enough. No, you didn't see, no. You guys were closer to her. Did you see her? We saw her go into the, into the forest, but. Oh, we, we came by Lake, so we didn't, we haven't gotten deep in the forest. And, and, uh, Cove is like, you guys want to team up? Uh,
01:34:54
Speaker
Chlo, where are your career buddies? Well, honestly, I'm kind of surprised to see you with District 11. Yeah, it's I don't I don't know where Luke is. Were we dating?
01:35:11
Speaker
No, I mean, you know, you're you're both from the same district. You're probably allies. Yeah. Yeah. Well, well, yeah. Technically, we he's OK. He's not he's not, you know, I don't think I don't think he's going to. So I think he might have died in the in the cornucopia situation. I'm not sure. Yeah, he's not he's not a fighter. She's replaced. But yeah, I can't. I mean, Marvell or Marvel, Marvel. I don't know where he is.
01:35:41
Speaker
I saw him get jumped by, what was it? District? District 8. Did you see that? Oh no, really? Where? I think you said you didn't see anybody. No, yeah, I was long gone. Where are you guys hiding out? No offense, it seems like you guys are a bit disorganized this year. Yeah, I don't know. Both years in the Hunger Games, the careers seem a bit more cohesive. I know, I don't care what's going on.
01:36:11
Speaker
Although, you know, that puts us in the advantage if we team up, we make our own. Yeah, that's a good point. Unstoppable team. We have no competition. Oh, I see. You're crazy, District 10. You guys are crazy. Yeah, that sounds good to me. What about you guys? And then the other two are like, yeah, you know, why not? The more of us, you know, we'll find out in the end. But for now, yeah, why not?
01:36:37
Speaker
Can I whisper something to Mike without being heard? I mean, they're far away. We're like yelling at each other. I mean, they're about like, they're about 40 feet away now. So are you kidding me? I'll just kind of like whisper, like, we're going to keep our eyes on that one. She seems like she's got a couple of screws loose. Yeah. Yeah. I don't trust this crying. She's been preparing. It's a bit unstable. I think acting classes were part of that preparation.
01:37:07
Speaker
All right. So I think we're going to join up with them. OK. Roll insight. Oh, bad faces all around. I got a that one. Oh. What did you get, Ariana? Eight. Eight. Yeah. No matter about that eight now, don't you?
01:37:32
Speaker
Mike, you're kind of suspicious of them, but yeah, Chloe's actually, you know, she's worked on herself quite well. You know, you could probably trust her enough to, you know, at least just be close to her. Yeah. Okay. Wait, wait, wait. This is what Mike thinks that he can trust her? Yeah. Within that one? Yeah.
01:37:59
Speaker
And Ariana, you're a little bit skeptical like you were, but yeah, she seems okay. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, am I right? I mean, she seems cooler. I mean, she convinced me now. She hasn't even said anything and she convinced me over the past two seconds. Yes,

Scouting and Strategic Moves

01:38:24
Speaker
yes.
01:38:25
Speaker
As she's walking up to you, she just looks awesome. She's just like, what did I get? Yeah. I mean, like maybe we should both make it out of here. Yeah, there you go. There you go. That is it. Perfect. Perfect. I'm just like gag. Oh, am I going to be that mean?
01:38:56
Speaker
Oh, she's gonna stab me in the chest right now, isn't she? No, but you roll the natural ones. I know. You have to roll a D4. Okay, two. Okay, so you, yeah, you kind of get distracted by her looks and you fall over and you basically get stabbed in the leg by a branch or something like that. By my spear. Yeah, you have to, you go by your own spear. Okay, great.
01:39:24
Speaker
What's your health? What's health look like? I'm at a six. It's not horrible. I only took damage twice. Cool yourself together. Well, did that. So when we were hiding, did that count as a short rest? So, yeah, you guys kind of commune and do you want to roll stealth again? Or do you want to? What's your next move? Let's ask them where they're heading. Yeah, because you guys seemed like they were on the move. Oh.
01:39:54
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, this is close, like, yeah, well, I mean, really, in my perspective, we're basically just taking people out now. I think we have a big enough crew. Did you just come from the cornucopia? No, we were in the forest. Oh, that's right. I kind of want to go check out the cornucopia. Yeah, I'm curious if we can take it as an advantage. Interesting. I mean, we have numbers. We have five people.
01:40:22
Speaker
We're not going to like no offense through. We don't want you to get your hands bloody. But even if it's like just we can send Rue on a scout as a scout though because she's she's stealthy, right? Have her go through the trees and scope it out. I mean, that's how she does.
01:40:41
Speaker
And meta knowledge does exist, so you do know that. What do you mean? You do know that. So this is the meta games, so meta knowledge exists, so you know that this is a film you are in. Okay, but things can play out differently because we're in it, right? Yes, they can, but you know in the film she dies that way. Oh, okay. That's funny. Oh, interesting. I mean, as long as I win, I don't really care.
01:41:08
Speaker
As the player, not as... Because even if it was like, let's say Marvel, Glimmer and Luke are there, or well, I guess Davida too, at the Cornucopia, that does put us four on five. I mean, it'd really be four on four. I don't expect three. That's true. Yeah. Yeah.
01:41:39
Speaker
I think we should send, I'm gonna say this to everybody. I think, Ru, you're really good at climbing and hiding, right? Yeah, I can do that, yeah, easy. Do you think you could go scope out who's at the cornucopia right now? She looks at Thresh and he's like, I'm not too comfortable with that, but yeah, go ahead. No, yeah, you persuade. Okay. Because she was persuading him, but you persuade.
01:42:05
Speaker
I got a full. Okay. Yeah. He's like, uh, yeah, I don't feel comfortable with her going alone. Is anybody else kind of stealthy? I'm not stealthy. I mean, so you'd rather go as a group, I guess is what you're saying. Either that or, or I don't know. Anybody volunteering to go with her?
01:42:23
Speaker
I'm a bull in a China shop, so I'm not going to be much help. In the lake area, you can also see that there's the... Before we leave the lake, I want to fill up both of our water bottles and purify them. Sure, sure. And then drink it and then refill it again. I don't know how specific I have to be with my hydration, but...
01:42:48
Speaker
No, that's fine. I'm trying to see. She's really into it. She's actually drinking the water. Oh, she's literally. I needed to drink water. You cannot drink unless your character drinks. She's just really doing it. That's hilarious. You guys are kind of coming together. Sponsor gift? Yes, you see something floating down 20.
01:43:18
Speaker
You see something floating down. Okay. You, you get a vial of something. Okay. You're not sure what it is. Oh, what? And your binoculars is more of like a, like one of the, uh, like, yeah, no, like a scope telescope or no, that's what it's called. No, like a periscope. Is it? No. Periscope goes up. Oh yeah. You're thinking of like a scope on a, scope on a gun.
01:43:46
Speaker
And no, no, I'm thinking like like on a pirate ship. Oh, yeah. Then that's it. Yeah, that's a telescope. No, no. No. Yeah. Telescope is a big one for like seeing stars. What is it? I can't think of the name. I wanted to say stethoscope. That's not right. An eyeglass or I. Yeah, it's it. But it's also very flimsy. So if you hit it again sometime, it will break immediately and won't do any damage.
01:44:17
Speaker
Is it? Yeah, it's this pirate telescope. Wow. I think periscope. Oh, no, periscope. Oh, yeah. Don't periscope. So how far can I see with the telescope? You can see 40 feet. But as if it's like, as if it's like right in front of you. Detail at 40 feet. Yeah, detail at 40 feet. 80 feet, you can see, but it's very unclear.
01:44:45
Speaker
Like I could see a person but not see who kind of a thing. Is the mystery vial, is it a fluid or is it like? It's a fluid. What's the Harry Potter liquid luck? Right. Right with my adrenaline shot. Yeah.
01:45:06
Speaker
So I'm sorry, how many feet are we from the, or I guess, I don't know, I could just try looking through my telescope right now and see what I can see. Yeah. Are you looking at the cornucopia? Yeah. I want to end kind of the surrounding area. OK. We see any moves. You have to get within 40 feet or 80 feet. How far are we now? You ran out, I want to say about another hundred feet out. And then you have.
01:45:36
Speaker
You're 110 feet out. OK.
