They're regretting everything. action that led to that moment sorry so i think emrys emrys is gonna including their conception emrys is gonna go for a walk in the morning i think just to just to clear his head basically all right i've located the traitor who talked to sarah and figured it out and solved it
00:16:52
Speaker
I've solved I've connected the dots. Alright, so you and Marissa are taking a walk around the inn, right? Yeah. so ah
Strategic Decisions and Character Development
00:17:06
Speaker
what are you going to do? I think he like fills up a decent sized flask of water from the bar before he heads out.
00:17:17
Speaker
He just kind of Turns the tap on, he's carrying his flask out. Just taking little slips of it as he walks, like, kind of towards the towards the walls of the of the town. Alright, and as you meander through the walls of the town, through the town um you're still sitting with a block or two of the inn, and you find this secluded park with a tree in the center.
00:17:44
Speaker
Um, and... In that tree, there is a sword embedded into it. About halfway up the blade.
00:17:56
Speaker
It's and like it's it's like dug in about halfway through the tree, and it goes up to halfway through the blade. up Halfway up the blade?
00:18:08
Speaker
I had it written out. I don't think my wording was correct when I was doing it. um Can you roll me a... Hold on. um An intelligence?
00:18:24
Speaker
Intelligence, absolutely. ah i have a plus zero to this. Let's go! Barbie's the smart one. guys the smart one
00:18:38
Speaker
an eight. Okay. So, at first glance, it looks... This world really sucks. ah from At first glance, it looks like a normal sword.
00:18:51
Speaker
And do you want to get closer to it?
00:18:55
Speaker
Yeah, I'm gonna walk up and be like, oh, is this some kind of, like, this town's sword in the stone type thing? Let's see. And you realize... the closer you get, you realize you've seen this sword before.
00:19:12
Speaker
it was Zolt's. No. What? Yeah, it was Zolt's sword. um And you have no idea how it got buried into this tree.
00:19:29
Speaker
What would you like to do? all i think Yeah, he's gonna walk up kind of And Spexia kind of run his hand like down the blade that can be seen an onto the hilt. as you you put your hand on the hilt, you feel compelled to grab it and try and yank it out.
00:19:51
Speaker
And I do. And as you do, you are hit with the full list of atrocities that this blade has been used to commit. And yet, as you yank it further out of the tree, you, like, the last, as, like, as it became becomes free of the tree, you feel a very, very deep, sharp pain in your head, and you take one psychic damage,
00:20:26
Speaker
As the memories that you had just seen were forcibly taken from your mind. And you forget why you're holding this blade as it transforms into a normal dagger.
00:20:40
Speaker
And you stow it away without a thought in the world and forget about it.
00:20:49
Speaker
Yeah, I think Ambrist is just going to kind of shake his head. take another sip of water from his flask and kind of head back towards towards the inn.
00:21:01
Speaker
right. And as are on your way back, you run across this mother frantically looking around for her teenage her teenage son who vanished in the middle of the night.
00:21:14
Speaker
Would you like to talk to her? Hey, hey. Yeah, hey, well what's up? you're You okay there? Yeah. Yeah, my son, he's gone. I don't know where he went. we ah He was was there this last night, and I woke up and he was gone.

00:21:45
Speaker
Indeed, yeah. Yeah. You ever just be yanking it? Erwin. I went to go see if he maybe got up... I'd just be yanking my penis. By yanking it, do mean straight up.
00:22:04

00:23:03
Speaker
Uh, and then she, like, um I'm gonna go look to see if he's at his and his friend's house, and she kind of, like, runs off in the other direction. No.
00:23:13
Speaker

Speaker
Howdy. Howdy. Tommy from next door went missing last night. Um, and I'm worried. the The mags got to him. Uh...
00:28:40
Speaker
Well, we don't know they're actually hags, but they're these three older ladies that live off... And he points towards the north. Who lives at the old grinder mill and makes these special pastries that, like, kind of cure depression.
00:29:01
Speaker
But, like, there's rumors that they're kind you know, otherworldly, if you get my drift.
00:29:10
Speaker
i'm ah don't sure I'm not sure I do catch your drift. What do you mean otherworldly? Did you... we think you mean back What drift I'm also supposed to be catching.
00:29:26
Speaker
So they're providing a service that doesn't seem to be harming anyone and seems to be helping and you all are assuming that's a little rude. I didn't say they were i didn't hey they weren't hurting people. They sometimes like people who sell in there or buy in these pastries. Sometimes their kids go missing.
00:29:46
Speaker
But like the parents don't really care. so like Yeah. Well, that doesn't sound like that's the hat's fault.
00:29:56
Speaker
Well, now I'm just interested.
00:30:00
Speaker
Savail, like, rubs his temples and he just kind of mutters. Have you never heard in the capit las of They're like... and Yeah, but, like... yeah this pair these These families, like, slowly get more destitute and then their children go missing.
00:30:17
Speaker
That sounds like they make bad choices. And that's where the Reapers get their heads. Well, maybe don't make che- maybe don't write checks that your mouth can't cash.
00:30:27
Speaker
I say that all the time, that's why I have this beautiful inn that only- that like, you can buy a bottle for- And yet you're calling innocent women hacks.
00:30:39
Speaker
Have you seen them? We never said they were innocent. just saying, you have no proof that they are hags, and yet you're calling them hags. That seems awfully rude, You may have no proof they are innocent, either.
00:30:53
Speaker
You have no proof they are guilty. Whatever happened in due process?
00:30:59
Speaker
Do I look like a judge? It's called... rumors for a reason. I didn't say I believe it. Well, you awfully sound like you believe it, sir.
00:31:12
Speaker
I mean... the shoe fits... The shoes aren't fitting, though. the shoe doesn't fit, you must acquit. This is kinda starting to feel as though... Some hag-ism.
00:31:28
Speaker
The veil kinda, like, turns green for a second and gags. Sir, are you okay? Would you like a bucket? I mean... Would you like a bucket? What? Okay, aside from like... No, I'm fine, thank you. What, aside from like children disappearing, which awful and everything, and he like continues to love his temples, what other evidence is there? These people get addicted to these pastries.
00:31:55
Speaker
Maybe they shouldn't eat so many. Children...
00:31:59
Speaker
No, because they aren't fat. Maybe they're just fat. They're as thin as a board. Well, then, is it really bad if they start eating a lot, then?
00:32:13
Speaker
That's a fair question. That's a fair question. The veil is not in the mood. like have real to Several of these pastries. It's like they don't care for anything but their dreams and their depression.

Speaker
It looks very dilapidated with warped wooden veins stripped bare. It's missing pieces of the windmill part.
00:40:12
Speaker
Windmill? Yeah. it's called It's called a windmill in the book. Yeah, but you said windmill. Yeah. Oh, my bad. You couldn't get another hint, I don't

00:41:09
Speaker
I don't care if some judgy little jerk face who dares to say, bless your heart to me, cares if he likes me or not. He shouldn't judge books by their covers.
00:41:23

Speaker
Oh, that's what they're calling it these days? Sorry. She has a missing child. Okay. As see i you approach the the door to this windmill, um you see the gray-black walls and dirt-covered windows of the upper floor.
00:42:14
Speaker
In a decrepit wooden platform that encircles the, um like, the base of the windmill. Shut up.
00:42:29
Speaker
Base of the windmill. um And perched on the wooden beam above the door is a raven. It hops about and squats at you, seemingly agitated.
00:42:43
Speaker
ah Can someone roll a insight check for me?
00:42:48
Speaker
I will. highest I have a plus four. Actually, I have well i have a plus four, but i don't have any. it's I'm not proficient. Oh, that's with my proficiency.
00:43:02
Speaker
What the fuck? You bitch. You gotta go. but What is your proficiency bonus now? It's still plus two.
00:43:15
Speaker
not level three Not level five yet. I don't know shit. I could also roll if you would like it to. Anyone can roll.
00:43:28
Speaker
You sounded so happy about that.
00:43:33
Speaker
Oh, that is 17. All right. all right I about to say a 7. I'm just going double check. Oopsie doopsie!
00:43:45
Speaker
So, um... So, you can tell that the raven is trying to warn the party. Oh, wait! I have speak with the animals! I'm not through it!
00:43:58
Speaker
Yeah, don't I have to speak with animals or something? Oh, no, I don't. You can use it if you want. Wait, no, you're a druid. You should have spoken with animals.
00:44:10
Speaker
You should just get it, though. I think it's just a So I could do it as a ritual. I'm gonna spend ten minutes. I look around. I'm going to see what this raven's trying to warn us of. Just give me a moment as a begin to prepare.
00:44:26
Speaker
I'm gonna speak with animals. i'm gonna cast it, but I'm doing it as a ritual. So does that was spell Barbie has? A spell slot?
00:44:33
Speaker
speak with yeah yeah When you do a ritual, it doesn't it doesn't cost those spells. um so the The squawks give way to a very creaky voice. ah
00:44:46
Speaker
e I was going to try it, but my threat's not going to do that. Griggy! Griggy! he ah He is- the The raven is like, beware, beware, beware. Beware, beware.
00:45:01
Speaker
Do not come in here. And then he flies off back towards Valky. Wow, this guy should talk to a poet or something.
00:45:12
Speaker
Quote the raven. What's next, Nevermore?
00:45:18
Speaker
I kind of shout out, Wade, what do you mean, friend? If you would like, I have treats- Oh, he's gone. and quote I just sound like I'm squawking.
00:45:28
Speaker
That's what it sounds like to you guys. That was more of a Waluigi sound. That was absolutely Waluigi. Are you feeling alright, Mallow?
00:45:42
Speaker
Are we speaking to the raven? What do you mean? I'm not sure you were. Uh... And Mala just looks at you as well or a druid, did do you not know the rights of speaking to animals? know the rights of man.
00:46:01
Speaker
Well, I guess man is an animal as well, but...
00:46:09
Speaker
I was speaking to the crow. It would have warned not to enter. I only speak to the sea. In my heart. Well I was going to walk in there, but now that we had an animal start talking to us and tell us not to... I'm starting to think otherwise.
00:46:26
Speaker
Yes. It would do us best to be quite cautious if we do choose to enter. Would anyone like to try and open the door?
00:46:38
Speaker
Cautious is my middle name. I'll do it. rams You can push or pull. That's a great question. um I'm gonna... If you push the door, it's gonna be so embarrassing for you. Shut up!
00:46:52
Speaker
and I will kill you. I will kill you. um Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I wouldn't! This is the biggest issue that I've ever made in my life.
00:47:05
Speaker
Let's just... ah let's Let's flash and clear. Flash? Flashbang out! Flashbang.
00:47:14
Speaker
Um, I'm gonna, uh, uh, uh, i
00:47:21
Speaker
um ah i good ah closed the door not open yeah i'm gonna push ah do ah put the door the door weeks to open hey guys to got on the first try but Don't call me a hero. Can I roll perception to see if they got it on the first try?
00:47:43
Speaker
Yeah, go for it. Don't do this to me, man. I'm trying my best. I'm just a girl. That's gonna be funny, though.
00:47:57
Speaker
An 11. Do I roll deception? Or sleight of hand? Yeah, go for it.
00:48:04
Speaker
Let me zoom in on my side. I'm gonna use sleight of hand.
00:48:14
Speaker
That makes more sense to me. And also I have a plus two. That's a 17. Okay. Wow, you- Bobby, you did really well with that door. Thank you!
00:48:25
Speaker
ah first try! know! All right. It's impressive. I know. Thank you. no let me. I'm just so cool. Let me go ahead and. Now, the ground floor has been converted into a makeshift kitchen, but the room is filthy.
00:48:41
Speaker
Baskets and old dishware are piled up everywhere. Adding to the clutter is a peddler's cart, a chicken coop, a heavy wooden trunk, and a pretty wooden cabinet with flowers painted on its door.
00:48:54
Speaker
Feyre, is that you? Yeah.
00:48:59
Speaker
I got it. In addition to the clucking of the chickens, you hear toads croaking. The sweet smell of pastries blends horribly with the stench that burns your nostrils.
00:49:13
Speaker
An awful odor comes out of an open, upright barrel in the center of the room. Warmth warmth issues from the brick oven against one wall and a crumbling staircase ascends a wall across from it.
00:49:29
Speaker
Shrieks and cackles from somewhere higher up cause the old mill to shudder. Would you like to explore the room?
00:49:38
Speaker
I'm going to say, Walter, maybe don't look inside, Walter. There ah might be something you don't really like in there.
00:49:48
Speaker
Oh, I forgot about the chickens. Exactly. He hears the chickens. Walter, Walter. Call the doctor, Walter. He is overcome with the fear he's killed. And he walks right in and steps right down on some small human bones that litter the flagstone floor.
00:50:14
Speaker
that bodes well. Alright, I think we can confirm that this is not a good place to be and that Raven was probably right. We don't know that. I think we have ample evidence to suggest so.
00:50:28
Speaker
We should still go look for... ah Can I roll a medical check to see if I can tell the age of these bones? Look at motherfucking archaeologist. I may not be smart, but... You can tell this...
00:50:45
Speaker
Oh, this is going to be fun. um Because I'm going to use an actual anthropology stuff. So you pick up a bone and you can tell based off of the features and the fact that several points of it have not fully fused together that this is the ulna of a child.
00:51:13
Speaker
So it does look like... Is there... Okay, so is there any kind of markings for like what they did to the bones? like So if they cleaved them with... ah You can kind of see nicks and whatever. like It doesn't look like they were trying to... It looks like they were trying to get the skin off of the bones.
00:51:32
Speaker
But like... Kind of crudely. ah You can also kind of tell... That these are fresh. Not within the next last week, i like but they are within the last month or so.
00:51:47
Speaker
They haven't got the telltale aging that suggests that they've been... um like yes why yeah they're still yeah they're still kind of yellow.
00:52:00
Speaker
i like I'd like raise my hand up to everyone. um
00:52:06
Speaker
Well, it does look like whoever is here seems to be harvesting children for something. It's quite crude with whatever tools they're using, but they clearly are removing the flesh from children's bones.
00:52:20
Speaker
So stay wary. That's so much extra effort. Why not just eat their dreams? And can someone do an investigation check for me, please? It's kind of funny because I'm getting rid of these things.
00:52:33
Speaker
I have a plus one. so plus five I rolled a 19. Well, that's more than enough. um So, you can tell baking in the oven is a dozen drain pastries.
00:52:46
Speaker
um You can also tell that the barrel in the center of the rim that's open that smells horrible um is Excuse me. is a It holds this glistening greenish black liquid.
00:53:01
Speaker
Can someone do... either an arcana, nature, or...
00:53:10
Speaker
I'll roll for arcana. Yeah. Arcana or nature.
00:53:20
Speaker
All right. No one else can roll. My nature's a plus three, so... That's good, though. That's an 18. So you have heard of this.
00:53:32
Speaker
It is a summoning barrel for a drench.
00:53:38
Speaker
A what? A drench. Drenched? Sorry, drenched. it's ah It's a creature. but Okay, so it small demon. Ew.
00:53:51
Speaker
It's a small demon that is... It looks like a goblin mixed with a purple. No bitches? Oh. we said dumb this ah kate like It's little dip hole.
00:54:05
Speaker
It's face and it's like skeletal structure kind of looks like it but it's also it lives on four legs and it's got claws that are like huge and big and nasty.
00:54:19
Speaker
That's what they need the children for. They're doing princess versus toddlers.
00:54:25
Speaker
um I were about to say toddlers in tiaras.
00:54:33
Speaker
Strongest toddler versus pitbull named princess. Yeah. Exactly.
00:54:41
Speaker
So, guys, my initial thoughts that these people might be, you know, chill are in fact proving a little less true than I expected or anticipated.
00:54:56
Speaker
ah These are in fact summoning barrels better for some demons. Ah, yes. How would we destroy them? Is there a way to stop that? We can try peeing in the barrel.
00:55:13
Speaker
Peeing in the barrel? Yeah. oh Whoa. You're gonna summon piss demons. Can you um either new in our colon or um three i do I'll do an arcana.
00:55:29
Speaker
Well, both of those are plus one, Whoa! I know this. I'm good at history. That's a 14. Yeah, I'm not good at history.
00:55:40
Speaker
I'm probably not history history, really. So what'd you get, Isabella? I got a 14. Actually, going to give the help action to you, Rory.
00:55:53
Speaker
Yay? yeah I don't know.
00:55:57
Speaker
So, you know you could- Uh, well, it's a ballerick pass. You could in theory dump it out. And that would stop them from summoning.
00:56:08
Speaker
Oh. We could just tip the barrel over. feel like that would solve all their problems. Sounds like a good idea. Someone needs to roll a strength.
00:56:22
Speaker
Oh, oh, I'm good at this thing. I'm good this thing. It's crazy. I not one i can actually do something. You said it's just strength?
00:56:33
Speaker
Yeah. Cool. Stork gives golden retriever energy. 15. Alright. all right but You knock it up easily and the smell is like a thousand times worse now.
00:56:46
Speaker
Oh. Maybe that was a bad idea. Why did you why' you recommend that? and We didn't want it to summon. This is the way to not summon.
00:56:58
Speaker
This is horrendous. Well, this is, you know, beauty is pain. Alright. um Beauty's also apparently stinky. really Yeah, it can do that.
00:57:11
Speaker
Before you go upstairs.
00:57:14
Speaker
Knock, knock. Are there any children around? No. um well Children! Any lost children who are meant to be with their mothers?
00:57:28
Speaker
No? Okay, I guess our job is done. There's still a second floor, Walter says. Damn it, Walter. You said the barkeep said they were hags, right?
00:57:42
Speaker
ah He did. he said he he thinks they might be hags. And well my mother has said, hags are incredibly dangerous.
00:57:52
Speaker
Let's do this. Okay. Alright. And Walter agrees with you and he starts making his way up the stairs.
00:58:04
Speaker
That's bold of you, Walter.
00:58:07
Speaker
Walter's bold? They had chickens. They were going to die their way.
00:58:13
Speaker
Walter says... And... What was that? I said base to alter? Yeah, he does not like chickens.
00:58:23
Speaker
Good reason as well. Yeah. he makes this- What the heck is this chicken hating party? Damn.
00:58:34
Speaker
You were there when you fought the demon chickens. and I didn't fight them. Oh, that's right, you didn't. I was having a temper tantrum. That's right, I forgot. Well, we gotta meet the demon chickens again.
00:58:48
Speaker
Let's beat them up. Anyways, so you guys make it make your way back up to the stairs where of the hags is currently um out of her non-hag form. So she's like full-on grotesque looking. That's rude.
00:59:12
Speaker
And I need someone to roll. ah archie now that twice She could be a very pretty hag. We don't know. Sure. Kitten and so what do, uh, would it Arcana?
00:59:28
Speaker
I think. To determine what type of hag she is.
00:59:34
Speaker
would probably say Arcana. History or Arcana? I rolled a 15. Maybe nature? A 15?
00:59:41
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, I'll roll. Alright. 17. Alright, so you both recognize this as night hag. Sly and subversive, night hags want to see the virtuous turn to villainy.
00:59:54
Speaker
Love turned into obsession, kindness turned to hate, devotion to disregard, and generosity to selfishness. Night hags take perverse boy in corrupting mortals.
01:00:06
Speaker
Joke's on you, I'm already corrupted. was just saying...
01:00:14
Speaker

Speaker
What the fuck? Did you just you had a baby and it had no legs? My sister had a baby.
01:04:14
Speaker
And then the baby had no legs or arms, it was just a little stomp. Why are you trying to get the shrimp from Shark Tales?

My voice went that high and I was like, oh my god, it sounds like the shrimp. And so I just went with it.
01:04:35

Speaker
Oh my god, that was a four.
01:06:21
Speaker
Oh, wait, are we got roll initiative? We all need to roll initiative. Remember, every time I say a name, you gotta bleep it out. It's my penance. Okay, I'm sorry. It's fine, it's fine.
01:06:36
Speaker
Um, alright. So, what would you like to do? oh Okay, I believe it must be time to pull out the crossbow for the first time in ages.
01:06:50
Speaker
and I forgot, the rerolls use as non-magical attacks with your crossbow? Yeah, kind of, because it just dies to add the radiant damage.
01:07:08
Speaker
all right yeah Oh, yeah, that's right, the radiant. So it's magical. That misses. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Guys! Uh-oh. ah guys
01:07:21
Speaker
This isn't good because Barbie's been having performance issues. sure an Extends can help you. Question. If you were use Primal Savagery, would you consider it be a magical weapon?
01:07:35
Speaker
Yes. Yeah, I think we did that before. yeah I will grab you by the legs
Climactic Combat and Humor
01:07:39
Speaker
and use you as a weapon having performance issues.
01:07:44
Speaker
Oh goodness, that's hilarious. I agree. Absolutely. Alright. um Amelia, you're up.
01:07:53
Speaker
Alright, I'm going to... I'm just gonna go up and stab her. Alright. Alright, so... I am not stealthed.
01:08:08
Speaker
But I do get that 50% of a time, an added 1d6 of radiant damage can be added. yeah So I have to use a d4. And I will say, if you get the radiant damage, that counts as a magical attack.
01:08:20
Speaker
If not, it's a normal attack.
01:08:24
Speaker
So, let me make sure i'm reading this right. Okay, so...
01:08:31
Speaker
Does a 18 hit? An 18 hits. Excellent. Okay, and then I rolled 4 on my d4, so that adds the radiant damage.
01:08:43
Speaker
So, alright, that's 12 damage. Alright. The phone. And... The phone. Hit in, and... I mean, yeah you stabbed the...
01:08:57
Speaker
um The hag. You win your innuendos today. Yeah. Yes, yes.
01:09:09
Speaker
Oh, hold on. It's clear you've been reading. yes Don't get me started on book. There was literally only one scene. The entire book.
01:09:20
Speaker
Oh, that's so rude. I know. What's even the point? Um... Not that it, like, really mattered, though. It doesn't really add to the plot or take away if there was any, but it just was... Disappointing.
01:09:36
Speaker
Who's breaking grass?
01:09:39
Speaker
have a feeling it's Amelia. It's not me. V-Dad? I've not played Minecraft in months. V-Dad, you're up. Um... I take a rock.

Speaker
Oh, that's a k nat 1. Yeah, that's- Oh wait, no, that's a 7. I'm kidding. It's a 7. Still doesn't hit, but it's not a nat 1. Barbie got raised. Yeah. So that misses.

01:19:18
Speaker
That's going to be my turn. Alright. Um... This session, the party gets kicked. the hag, knowing what you're doing, going to try and get out.
01:19:29
Speaker
ah That'd be an acrobatics check, right? Athletics or acrobatics. Yeah. Versus my athletics check that rolled earlier, which is 18. eighteen Is that normally dex because she's not proficient in those?
01:19:43
Speaker
ah In that case, you just roll either flat strength or dexterity. Okay. Okay. She's using her strength. That is 14. Does not beat my 18.
01:19:55
Speaker
Alright. i got her in a pretty big I got her in a pretty good hold. Yeah. Whoever's next, just start cranking. Start cranking it. Yeah, so Straight jorking it. Straight jorking it, dude. That was her action. Hag's head. That was her action show. She is...
01:20:19
Speaker
kinda fucked. Yeah, so sure. She's about to be, am I right? i Yes and no. Okay. I'm gonna... Hopefully... Start cranking it.
01:20:31
Speaker
and Just trying to shoot again.
01:20:36
Speaker
Alright. ah Okay, yeah. 19 to hit. That hits. ah So I get my damage. And one of these... Sneak up.
01:20:48
Speaker
I don't know what this damage would be if you do this. Actually, hang on. was
01:20:57
Speaker
ah checking the rules. and She would have escaped because i would have to roll another athletics check, and that one was only 9. But the same time, i also wouldn't roll strength check to move her, because whenever you have a grappled creature, you can just carry him with you.
01:21:11
Speaker
Oh, you can? Oh, okay. My bad. So she's out now, but... Let's just say it counts. Yeah, we'll say it counts. She's still on the stone.
01:21:23
Speaker
Ah. We gotta crank it, dude. Don't take our jorkin' away from us. ah
01:21:32
Speaker
Why am I a teenage boy today? Yeah, grappling rules are weird in 5th edition. Yeah. I kinda like that you can just say, fuck you, and just carry it.
01:21:44
Speaker
It's a half movement. It's a half movement, but still just like, I got you by the shoulders, I'm dragging you across the ground. POV, yoink.
01:21:53
Speaker
Yoinkity splinkity. Yoinkin' it.
01:21:57
Speaker
Yoinkin' it. So, all in, that is 24 damage ah with the radiant damage as well. hes a amazing Yeah, she is looking very rough right now.
01:22:11
Speaker
um She didn't start super beautiful. so Amelia, you're up.
01:22:19
Speaker
All right, we're going to try stabbing again. All right.
01:22:26
Speaker
That's a nat 20, and I rolled a 4 for the radiant damage. Oh, shoot. Wait, are you flanking? Uh... She is flanking, because i'm sitting right next to the pack.
01:22:39
Speaker
Yeah, so you have you also get a sneak attack. Alright. LMAO, let's go. We party. Alright, that is 12 damage.
01:22:50
Speaker
Oh, okay. um Alright, so...
01:22:56
Speaker
You hit her, um, and do some damage. Uh, Vidad, you're up.
01:23:04
Speaker
You gotta do the rock. I take the rock. I crank it. I'm taking my um Okay, I'm not doing that. i'm I'm taking out my peanuts and I'm jorking I'm taking out my peanuts.
01:23:21
Speaker
And I'm jorking it. Straight jorking. No.
01:23:30
Speaker
So that misses. You
01:23:34
Speaker
keep hitting the walls next to them. Ready? Oh, yeah. It's time to jerk it.
01:23:43
Speaker
Is there like a handle on this millstone? Oh, wait. Yeah, you are going to have to do a strength check for this. Oh, ah never mind.
01:23:55
Speaker
i don't think I should be the one to do that. Well, she might escape. I was to you can claw her to death. I'll, uh... Yeah, I'll just start clawing. Okay.
01:24:05
Speaker
So I started clawing. That is, 15, but I don't know what the plus is. i I think it's just an unarmed attack. It's two plus your wisdom. Mod.
01:24:17
Speaker
Oh. Oh because it's a spell. Attack bonus. That's plus four. That's a 19, buddy. Okay. Also, I think she's flanked, so I'd get ah advantage anyway.
01:24:30
Speaker
are Wait, are you... Wait, do druids get advantage for... Flanking? Yeah, everyone gets advantage for flanking, don't they? Okay, I didn't know. Okay, it's not a k nat 20, so it doesn't matter. It's still gonna hit.
01:24:44
Speaker
ah How bad is she looking exactly? Oh, she's bad. Looking... she's got several stab wounds. Like, so should I go for the throat?
01:24:57
Speaker
If you want to try? I'm gonna go for the throat with my Teefies. Alright.
01:25:04
Speaker
That's 10 on a D10. Okay. Okay. Okay.
01:25:09
Speaker
okay okay and and i get a d4 all right
01:25:17
Speaker
or oh no no no no that d4 i was wrong that d4 is pre prior to attunement this is with attunement it's a d six i'm a stupid bitch okay so that's 12 so far yeah then oh there's another righty damage So that's 12 regular, like, raw stuffies, but also magical.

01:26:10
Speaker
Rory, yeah, Rory, you're up. So, do I do it Do what? Do it, do it, do it. Do it to him. Alright. Jork it. I'm gonna take that millstone, I'm gonna try to roll it over her head.
01:26:24
Speaker
Alright, can you do a strength for me? Yeah. That's a, uh, 17. 17. seventeen I'm going to that passes. He's jerking it, folks. And I don't know how much damage that would do, because I could not find an answer on the internet.
01:26:41
Speaker
I think dropping a very heavy object on someone, like a large... Doesn't that do more damage? Dropping... This is the kind of rules that I really wish D&D had. like Yeah.
01:26:54
Speaker
Is it a less and more creative plan? Alright, guys. Storage here. Part of a pneumatic millstone cha channel. Today we'll be doing... Today we're putting cocaine in the the crusher.

01:27:30
Speaker
Just real slow, like, crush the head, then roll it back over to make sure it's done. Alright, and you kind of watch as the, um, hag is just smushed by the grinding stone.
