Introduction and Setting the Scene

00:00:00
Speaker
Hey everyone, this is Cam, the GM for Life and Dice Jail. You are currently listening to episode 20 of our Soul of Frost campaign, Desire by Fish. Thank you so much for tuning in, we hope you enjoy. A heart without a soul on cannot beat.
00:00:21
Speaker
A heart that cannot beat turns to ice.
00:00:30
Speaker
The ice hides what once was until the soul to awaken what
00:01:00
Speaker
Yeah, we went supply shopping first, there was some cooking, and then we traveled to, well, was it called

Recap and Journey to Wilco

00:01:07
Speaker
Wilco? Is that what it's called? Wilco. That's right. That entire episode was just was just like a shopping episode. A shopping great baping episode. And now we're trying to go fishing. Yes. Which has been slightly difficult to negotiate. So, um yes, the party has,
00:01:28
Speaker
made their way down south to Wilco. They're on their way to the Hollow Forest um to haunt the Khatiran. So they made their way to Wilco to catch the ferry, but ferry is not going to be here for a couple more days. So in the meantime, they're taking a little fishing trip. Party has gone to visit the the Anglers Guild where they have gotten themselves permits and rented all the gear. At least they believe all the gear that they're going to need.
00:01:57
Speaker
Um, from, uh, from the guild master who, even though it's her day off is here.

Meeting Kelly and Preparing to Fish

00:02:06
Speaker
Um, a cloud veil woman named Kelly. Um, and, uh, yeah, she's rented you a pair of rowboats and some fishing tackle and yeah. Um.
00:02:25
Speaker
She's basically sent you out back at this point. um
00:02:31
Speaker
And yeah you all sort of step out out the back door of the guild hall and are greeted by that lovely, clean, riverside air. um And you know, it's it's actually kind of a pleasant day. It seems that, you know,
00:02:54
Speaker
it's I mean it's still freezing cold because it's you know salter but um as far as days go not terribly windy there's no snow right now so pretty good day um And as you all sort of step out, ah Kelly follows you and shows you over to a pair of ah pretty decent looking rowboats that are sort of moored off to the side. ah They're definitely on the smaller side. They only will fit three people each, um which is why you had to split to two.
00:03:41
Speaker
And she sort of as she's sort of getting you ready she stops and is like okay so just just you said you've never never done this before no okay um so there's probably a couple of things you're gonna want to know before you hit the river
00:04:08
Speaker
Uh, the river proper it is not really prime fishing grounds. You can fish here. Um, but it's, you know, it's, it's the currents real strong. Um, and that's a bit of a hassle. So while, while you definitely can fish here, and I've got anglers who do that all the time, I would highly recommend going to a a normal sort of fishing area, um, which is sort of a little side stream. Um,
00:04:37
Speaker
I've got a map that I can give you. When you when you get to the fishing area, i would I personally would recommend going to lakes because that's you know the easiest spots,
00:04:53
Speaker
ah especially for beginners. That way you don't have to fight the current while you're

Fishing Profits and Strategy

00:04:59
Speaker
fishing. and And the the waters are less dangerous if you fall in, because there's some some geothermal stuff, so you won't get hypothermia quite as quickly. Let's see, other things, other things. I told you how how getting your profit works, right?
00:05:21
Speaker
I, ah but for those of us that ah that that that can't remember, you should probably say it again. Right, right, right. Not me, but... So basically the way this works is that you catch the fish, you bring them back here, you sell them to me, and then I sell them at market. So no matter what, you're guaranteed profit for every single fish that you catch, so long as you sell it to me. You will get money for that.
00:05:47
Speaker
um
00:05:50
Speaker
That's just, you know, part of what your permit ah comes with. um
00:05:59
Speaker
And yeah, each each set of tackle that I've got here for you should have 10 baits in it. So you you should be able to, you know, catch a decent amount amongst the five a years.
00:06:12
Speaker
Yeah, I will definitely recommend though the currents can be real strong. So whoever rose out should probably not be the one who's rowing back. I've had I've had some emergency situations before where even my experienced anglers something goes wrong. And the same person who rose out tries to row back and they end up all the way down in rock. So
00:06:38
Speaker
We definitely recommend taking shifts on the rowing. And yeah, definitely don't fall in. ah Cause you know, hypothermia and the yask will get aggressive and you don't want that.
00:06:55
Speaker
What'd you say, yask? Yeah, the yask. The yask. Oh yeah. It's probably- The yaskify? It's probably a good thing for me to tell you about. The the ah the yask. They're a type of fish.
00:07:06
Speaker
um Oh god, is it going to yassify us? I don't know what that means. You do not want to know what that means. I'm guessing I probably don't. You Dracosans have weird weird shit going on in your heads. Oi! Oi!
00:07:25
Speaker
What? It's true. He's talking about Yassify, whatever that means. ah that That doesn't give you the right to insult his people. What's wrong with you? I think it does. It's Zion, look. I'm just putting your chin. Racist.
00:07:41
Speaker
It's a cultural insult, all right? And that one doesn't fly either, but still pretty fucked up. but His breath is an insult to us all. You can see her her eye. She just rolls her eyes. So anyways, ah yeah, the yask. She turns to morgram and just starts talking exclusively to morgram at this point. The yask are a type of fish. The big, the big, the big fuckers. So i yeah, and they typically aren't too dangerous if you're in a boat.
00:08:10
Speaker
But if you fall in the water, they're going to think you're food. ah So if there's any nearby, they're probably going to try to get you. and And trust me, you do not want to be in the water when a yask comes at you.
00:08:26
Speaker
they they've yeah you you yeah You definitely don't want to be in the in the same water as them when they do that.
00:08:35
Speaker
But, you know, they you should be able to beat them back relatively easily. i So long as it's daylight. Definitely make sure you get back here before the sun sets, all right? Because not only will it get extra cold, a but the Yask get extra aggressive under the light of the moon. So that's the only time that they'll that they'll attack a boat is if they are under moonlight.
00:09:05
Speaker
So, you should be safe so long as you don't fall in the water.
00:09:11
Speaker
I think that's everything. That seems reasonable. Yeah. What time is it now? Right now, it is 7.45. Oh, okay. We got plenty of time. Yeah, you've got a whole day out of here. Oh, wow. All right. What can possibly go wrong?
00:09:26
Speaker
What could possibly go wrong? Don't fucking say that. Don't fucking say that. Oh, you the fuck up. This is out there already now. Come on, hurry up. So help me God, if one of you fucking drown after saying that, I'm gonna kill you. It's gonna be you. Yeah, I was gonna say it. No! It would be you. Let's be real, Jacob. It would be you. This isn't Remy. Not even Thub. It would be you, Jacob Perez. Jacob Perez. Halloween special. You'd choke on water.
00:09:56
Speaker
Joke's on you. I don't have water. I have chalky milk. um That's even worse. It's viscous. um go but um So yeah, um you all have fishing tackle with ten baits in each. ah So go ahead and keep track of that however you'd like. You've got ten baits. each okay ten baits um
00:10:23
Speaker
So do you want to go over the fishing actions now or do you want to wait until you're out on the water and actually using them? Is it a chance that we could fall in the water and die before we get there? because so Probably best to wait.
00:10:38
Speaker
Well, you don't know that, but... ah but We look out. How fast is the river right now? Yeah, she said the current was strong. It definitely is flowing. It definitely is flowing. um But it's, you know, it's flowing in the direction you're going. The river is flowing north.
00:10:58
Speaker
So... You should be able to, as she shows you the fishing area map, you should be able to follow the current for around 10 minutes, and then just take a left, um and it'll get you into the fishing area. Okay. Yeah. But yeah, current definitely looks strong, but she she says it's a pretty standard strength for the average day.
00:11:28
Speaker
um So it doesn't look extra dangerous or anything. We'll be fine. We'll be fine. Something I will note, however, as you're standing on the docks and going over all this stuff, you would notice that um these rowboats that you're taking are easily the least fancy boats available.
00:11:51
Speaker
um Like you see boats that are significantly larger that could probably fit closer to a crew of 15. And you see a couple of sailboats, you see, you even see boats with see, if anyone's, let's see, what's what's everyone's proficiency is looking like? Not great, but. That's a great question.
00:12:28
Speaker
Let's see. Yeah, none of you would have any idea what these are. I'm from a city of ships, not a not city of a whatever. Actually, actually, that's a good reminder. Wyatt, you probably can make a society check. We'll go with society. OK, I'm only trained in it, though. I would go that far. fine
00:12:52
Speaker
First rule of the day is going to be ah 15 15. Okay. Yeah. Why you've seen some devices kind of like this before on the city of ships. These are engines Engine they they build engines for boats for dealing with strong currents like this that sounds extremely stupid and it looks like that it looks like some of them are mechanical like the ones you're most familiar with but you also see a couple that look much smaller, much more compact, um that have like crystals coming out of the sides. So you think they might be magical boat engines.

Choosing a Fishing Location

00:13:42
Speaker
guess if you all are ready to hop on the boats, ah one bar one person needs to row and then everyone else can do whatever. um But yes. Since Bastion's not here, I will row. I was going to say Bastion will row since Bastion is not here. OK, that works too.
00:14:03
Speaker
So, yes, Wyatt and Thub are in one boat, Bastion, Morgan, and Thicket are in the other. So Bastion's rowing that i one boat. Oh, Thicket was riding our boat. I think Thicket was in your boat.
00:14:17
Speaker
I think so. Yeah he is. Because the whole thing about Bob and Wyatt are going to kill each other in their boat. Yeah it's just Bob and Wyatt being annoying Sebastian said no they're not coming with us. um I remember she said people weren't coming in and I just said remember who that was.
00:14:35
Speaker
So for the sake of simplicity, um Robo, excuse me, Robo One is the one that Bastion Wyatt, or sorry, that Bastion, Thicket, and Morgrem are in. Robo Two is Wyatt and Thub. So, um yeah, you all hop in. So Thub and Wyatt, which one of you is rowing? ah All Oh, I can row.
00:15:01
Speaker
All right. All right. Here you go. o is Okay. So let me just pull open my actions. There we go. Okay. So you all hop in your boats and get moving. So let me get the,
00:15:30
Speaker
So
00:15:34
Speaker
You'll hop in your boats and start rowing down the river, which thicket, you would know this as the Awan, the Awan River.
00:15:46
Speaker
um Well, it is the only river, so Awen is the word for river in Nantan. Oh boy, okay. it's It's the same as how, you know, there's only one dragon. So ah they just sort of have the same name. whenever When the colonists arrived, they were like, what is what do you call this? And they ended up just calling it River River. um Like all ah human history. Yeah. ah So.
00:16:16
Speaker
Yes, you all hop in, let me pull up the fishing area map for you. So this is you down here as you take your 10 minutes to get into the fishing area.
00:16:34
Speaker
It's around 8 in the morning. So it's a big area. Wow, okay. So each little movement hold on let me adjust it i don't know why there's not hexes on here um there should be that's not hexes i want i want hexes there we go so each hex is 600 feet which is how far the boat can travel in 10 minutes so basically each hex is 10 minutes
00:17:12
Speaker
Each hex is 10

In-Game Fishing Mechanics

00:17:14
Speaker
minutes. Yes. Where's the wow? Yes. Yeah. Big map, dude. This is more. Oh, yeah, it's a full blown fishing area. um And according to the map, you've got ah three lakes. One is significantly larger. um The other two are, you know, one's more medium and one is really small. um And yeah, according to ah According to Kelly, um the lakes, at least the big, the really big one has some geothermal activity, which keeps it, you'd imagine is what keeps it thawed.
00:17:58
Speaker
So yeah, where would y'all like to go? we'll ah We'll go between, well, there's only one pilot present in the chat right now, so Thub, where would you like to go?
00:18:10
Speaker
Oh, why did we put him in control? I'm gonna i'm gonna drive us sweetden straight into the lake. Okay, so I guess actually so this probably should be ah this probably should be a whole party discussion of do you want to fish in lakes or rivers?
00:18:25
Speaker
like leg yeah my vote yeah i say like so big like where all where are we by the way are we got a little that little thing right there yes that is you sorry I couldn't I couldn't change the color or well I couldn't but I didn't have time to change the color okay ah why are we in the river because you're on oh that's right we're Did you miss the first 30 minutes of our session? Did you miss the whole thing of your rowing one of the bugs? I missed that I thought you were still the paddle car thing. Oh my god. Oh my gosh. Good lord, man. Bum. Bum. White staffs his figures. You're awake. You're awake. What happened? You're rowing. You're fucking rowing. What do you mean you're rowing?
00:19:22
Speaker
You're rowing, that way! Ah, great. He's gonna try it, uh, while it's gonna- Alright, alright, no, I'm okay, shut up, get out of the way, get the fuck out of the way. I got this, I got this, I got this. definite I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
00:19:45
Speaker
We beat the damn boat. Which lake? Doing his best not to Suez this river. He's going to... I'm going to go over to this lake. Okay, you're aiming for the big one. Did we want to go to the big one? Or or or was that still up for debate? I think it's all still up for debate. That's entirely up to the party. Okay.
00:20:12
Speaker
and River or lake? You decided on lake. Which lake? Okay, we said it on lake. Okay, big... Yes, for big lake, no for small lake. I think we should start with the the the one directly north of us. The closest one? Okay, to medium lake. We can start there. All right, so...
00:20:37
Speaker
not so hold i guess i canway can i you I can move your token because I need to keep track of how many hexes you're moving anyways. So 42.
00:20:55
Speaker
And yeah, it's just it's relatively simple. The currents are definitely much smoother here than on the river proper. um So as you make your way into the lake here. So. Eleven thousand four hundred. ah Oh, my God.
00:21:20
Speaker
buy Six hundred. So in each act, how big are these lakes, then? ah Pretty big. There's a great lakes, Jesus.
00:21:36
Speaker
I think, I mean, they're okay. So it takes you around three hours to get there. Oh, good Lord. That one small bit there. So it's like 11. Yeah, it's 11 right now. So yeah, each of these lakes are, well, this lake right here is around 5,400 feet. So it's around a mile. Let's just start fucking fishing here. yeah Just right up the edge.
00:22:06
Speaker
ah Yeah. It's better to get a shower water. Kobe, I heard that, and I hate you. Whoa. OK. Sorry, what? I heard you, and I hate you for it. What did you hear? I'm not repeating it. So yes, definitely more shallow in this area. But the water appears cool, crisp. You can even, you think, see a few fish.
00:22:34
Speaker
rolling around under the water nothing particularly huge they all look to be regular fish sized fish at least from this distance um but yeah you can definitely see that the the uh bottom just keeps going down and down into darkness um okay so let's go over fishing actions i guess so oh ah I will say there is there isn't a current on the lake, but there is a tide. The lakes are big enough that there is a small tide. um So you can choose to have everyone on the boat fishing at once, or you can choose to have ah somebody holding the boat steady.
00:23:21
Speaker
um holding the boat steady gives you a bit of a bonus on your survival check for catching fish so it is entirely up to you guys what you want to do um because it's a survival check ah to catch fish um and it takes yeah for every 10 minutes that you search for fish you get a chance to actually hook something
00:23:49
Speaker
All right. And what did you say gives us advantage? ah You get you get a bit of a bonus if ah the boat is held stable. Okay, gotcha. Not really advantage so much as you don't take ah as heavy of

First Fishing Attempts

00:24:08
Speaker
penalties. I see.
00:24:12
Speaker
All right, well, I would like to ah try my hand at fishing first, the the thicket way. and Okay, and yeah, Bastion will attempt to keep the boat steady since, you know, Emma's not here. Yes, that works. Okay, so, andma Bastion seems to keep it steady to a satisfactory degree, so... Yeah. you Oh, who's this? oh Oh my God. It's Emma um getting here just in time.
00:24:43
Speaker
I've already rolled for you ah as the person who's not fishing first, but that was literally seconds before you joined. So would you like to fish or would you like to help hold the boat stable to give everyone a small bonus i can co the show stable you're here now want to fish?
00:25:01
Speaker
i would love to fish. Okay, so Morgrim is going to attempt to hold against the tide. Thub and Wyatt, is one of you going to hold against the tide, or are you both fishing?
00:25:16
Speaker
Well, I rode here, so was Wyatt's turn. I'm fishing. Okay. I like a bugger fish too. We just like the roll back. So both of you are fishing. Um, okay. So we'll roll back once we're done. Uh, more grim. I don't think you're trained in piloting lore. So, uh, rolling athletics. Check athletics. Yes. but and My screen just messed up. Let's see.
00:25:49
Speaker
22. 22. Okay, I would say that is firmly enough to keep the boat stable. um So, yeah. Easy enough. No bonuses, no penalties. um So, everyone who is fishing, go ahead and make a survival check.
00:26:13
Speaker
Yeah. And I would like to point out that the way Thicken is fishing, ah he's not using like a rod or anything. ah He is elbow deep in the water. Oh, God. Are you still using? a away I spent all that money. Yes. The equipment then. OK, so thick it's just holding. OK, I think it's also ignoring the warnings of the yask fish.
00:26:34
Speaker
ah I'm sorry, the what? Oh yes. So you were warned about the yask, which are a type of fish that are apparently quite large. And so long as you're not oify you so long as you're not in the water,
00:26:49
Speaker
you should be safe. But if you fall in the water, they're going to think that you're food. um And yeah like if i if you've val also you've been told to get back before nightfall because apparently the fish get extra aggressive during when the moon is up and that is the only time that the yask will really attack you if you're in a boat.
00:27:10
Speaker
Cool did I just hear Jacob say they will yassa we're ignoring him. Yes. We're ignoring. Yeah, I'll just buy you know He doesn't have rights anymore You you can you can ignore me, but you can't ignore the truth Okay, anyways um we got a natural twenty fucking Let's go I got a 23 Okay. I got a 23, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And also, Emma, each ah you'll probably want to keep track of this. You have each of you has 10 baits in your tackle box. Okay, so um we have a 23 from Wyatt, 15 from Bastion, a 23 from Thicket and a nat 20 for a total of what, Jacob? That's a nat 20 for a total of 29.
00:27:58
Speaker
a total of 29, okay. So. You said survival, right? Yes, survival. Yeah, no, 29. Okay, so critical success for Thub. Everyone else gets a red regular red regular regular success.
00:28:13
Speaker
um So each of you, in relatively quick order, manages to find something. You get a bite. ah So thicket, something bites your hand.
00:28:27
Speaker
ah and so go ahead and everyone make an athletics check to try to reel it in. Thub, you get a plus two bonus. Yay, and soon that so i gotta get I get a plus two bonus on top of my modifier. Yes, you get a plus two circumstance bonus to your athletics check. Fantastic. It's a nine for Bastion. That is going to be a 23 for me. I see.
00:28:58
Speaker
Or thicket, that is a 13. 13. Okay. F1X, you said? Yes. Oh no. Your weak baby boy arms must do the job. I know. I'm like three foot two. It has a minus one bottom. Oh no. What is dumpkin again?
00:29:20
Speaker
i got i got to twenty 23 23 goddamn. Okay. Um, it's a big-ass fish man. Give me a sec No, you wouldn't know if you caught a gas fish you would know if you're calling it a gas fish, um Okay, so, um Thub You are able to ah Sorry, did you say 23? Yes, 23. Okay, and that's including your plus two bonus? That is including my plus two bonus. Okay, so that is a success. ah So, Thub, you're able to reel in your fish.
00:30:06
Speaker
um
00:30:09
Speaker
Okay. ah on Wyatt, you are also able to reel in your fish. Unfortunately, thicket, the second the fish bites your fucking hand,
00:30:21
Speaker
um you are not, you you just sort of let go instinctively. um So you lose the fish and you lose your bait. So mark down that you lost one of your baits. Bastian, you also unfortunately are unsuccessful. It seems that the,
00:30:40
Speaker
the fish got to your bait and managed to escape.
00:30:49
Speaker
But Wyatt and Thub, you pull up a trout. A trout. Each of you pulls up. A trout? A trout. Fuck yeah. so Fuck yeah, trout. I will add. Whoa, wait, whoa, wait, wait, Cameron. This is gonna affect the trout population.
00:31:10
Speaker
I'm going to kill you. knowledge of it So first. So ah let me go ahead and let's see, I'm going to do we want to keep these fish individually or do we want to put them in the party stash? Party stash. Yeah, party stash, the fish. OK, fish are getting party stash. So you guys managed to catch here.
00:31:37
Speaker
Two away in river river river trout um Which have been added to the party stash um Okay, so that's the first round of fishing done and each of you is minus one bait So that was ten minutes
00:32:07
Speaker
More. More. I suppose we cast again. I go again. Same spot. You're saying in the same spot. Okay. Why not? Yeah. More. How about this? Oh, yeah. I mean, do you want to go deeper? Don't mind going deeper. Go a little deeper. Let's maybe go like a hex and then try our luck again. Let's go deeper.
00:32:31
Speaker
Don't don't fuck me. Morgan, are you Morgan? Are you staying ah rowing? Yeah. OK. All right. So which hex would y'all like to go to? Just one one further in. Yeah, let's go further in. OK. So you take 10 minutes to row in. All right. So Morgan, if you would like to hold against the tide again, then you may do so now with an athletics check.
00:33:01
Speaker
yeah back 25. 25? Okay. I would say that that is a critical success. So everyone in Morgram's boat being bastion and thicket, you guys get a plus two bonus to your survival check for searching for fish. As Morgram manages to, it seems like she's gotten the hang of like keeping the boats steady and stable. And it's like,
00:33:27
Speaker
You're basically still in the water, um despite the small tide. um Meanwhile, Thub and... Thub and Wyatt are... I'm assuming neither of you is attempting to hold against the tide. I don't know if Thub's here. He seems a little out of there at the moment. bit Oh, yeah. So Jacob has stepped away because he ran out of chocolate milk. um Probably, knowing him. Probably. ah No, we'll just keep with the tide, you know.
00:33:57
Speaker
okay go with the flow okay so you guys are going to take a uh a small penalty um as you've gotten a little bit deeper in uh you guys will take a uh minus three penalty minus three oh that's a lot yeah because you automatically fail okay um so you guys will take a minus three penalty to your checks to to fish. So yeah, I guess everyone go ahead and make your survival checks.
00:34:30
Speaker
oh i'm I'm determined to to to catch something the old fashioned handbait way. We had a plus one, right?
00:34:42
Speaker
Uh, yes. Or plus two, sorry. Bastion, you get a plus two. Oh, that's a 13 for 13 for Bastion. 15 for Thicket. Okay. Thub. Yes. I didn't roll mine. Oh. Yes. I'm rolling mine. So, Thub and Wyatt, roll your survival checks at with a minus three penalty.
00:35:04
Speaker
I love the weird fishing mechanics modifier that you put in there. I didn't think you could see them, but yes. You said minus two. Minus three. Oh, minus three. So yeah it's an athletic check. I got a nine. no So survival minus three is nine. So, okay. So ah the only one who seems to have even a modicum of success here is Thicket.
00:35:32
Speaker
um Really? Thicket, you reach back into the water. I'm assuming you're doing the exact same thing. Exact fucking same thing. Okay, you're doing the exact same thing. um Thub, unfortunately, that is a failure for you. ah Same for Wyatt, same for Bastion. So all of you just don't get any bites. um So you still have your bait, but no bite.
00:36:00
Speaker
um Thicket on the other hand, i you feel something bite onto your finger. So go ahead and make your athletics check to attempt to reel it in. No bonuses, no detriments. I'm gonna hero point that. Okay. Hero point for this.
00:36:24
Speaker
I'm not falling in the water. Man, what's the fish? I fucking know that if we crit fail this, we're going in the water. 23. Hey, 23. That is a success, Thicket. You feel the bite and you just who wrench it up out of the water. And Thicket, you have wrenched a trout out. That's how it's done. ah So you have a third Awain River trout.
00:36:55
Speaker
So currently you've made an approximate profit of a three silver, 15 copper. All right. Hey, it's it's a was a cold. sal work but It's honest work. Yeah, exactly. Honest pay for honest work. You want to fish a bit? I don't mind holding steady if you want to fish a little longer. OK. I'll ah I'll fish again. All right. You want to stay in the same spot or do you want to go further?
00:37:26
Speaker
I'm okay staying in the same spot if the rest of the lads are. I will also note that the the boats can split up. Then when someone ah evidentably falls into the water, we'll be too far away too. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, i don't I don't trust us. Have you met us? You make a very solid point. No, I haven't met you guys. since um My name is Jacob. It's very nice to meet you. Okay. Oh, hello.
00:37:54
Speaker
So Morgram, not a pleasure if you're attempting to hold against the tide, go ahead and make an athletics check. Thobra Wyatt, I'm assuming you're, you know, not trying to hold against the tide again? I will hold against, wait, it's athletics, right? Yes, i thought it's athletics. Nevermind, I can't do that. Okay. Thob, do you want to try to hold against the tide? Or do you want to fish? Sure, I'll hold against the tide. Okay, so make an athletics check.
00:38:20
Speaker
I'll make an athletics check for ya. Don't be the most unbelievable athletics check you ever see. I got a 23. 23, okay, so Thub succeeds. ah And so no bonuses, no detriments. Morgrem Crit succeeds. So everyone in Morgrem's boat being Thicket and Bastion get a plus two to their fishing checks. yeah So Wyatt, Bastion, Thicket, go ahead and make survival checks. Yeah. And then is the plus two to both so the survival and the athletics?
00:38:59
Speaker
or just one. It's only to your check for searching. Okay, I see. That's a 14. No bonuses for us? Or wait, I'm sorry. 14 as well. ah No bonus for you, Wyatt, no. Yeah, okay, okay, just making sure. Yep. Oh, that I'm not good at fishing. Oh, damn. ah Yeah, unfortunately it seems that... No bites? Yeah, none of you get any bites in this spot. ah Oh, shit, I need to crack my bait. Whoops.
00:39:34
Speaker
But you you do all keep your baits. Oh, so. I think it's a bad spot. You know, this happens, you know, one fish gets taken and then all the others run away. Exactly. One fish sings and the rest dead.
00:39:56
Speaker
and she's just gonna look at him across from the other boat. What? Huh? What? Okay, where do we wanna go? What? Fuck you looking at me for? You're saying weird shit again. Okay. Do I have something on my face though?
00:40:20
Speaker
Let's go here. Okay. Let's see, take 10 minutes to roll over there. Shit, I do have something on my face. Um, all right. Uh, so are we switching up, uh, rowers or are we, what are we doing? Same thing.
00:40:40
Speaker
Uh, I think, I think it's a safe bet. Okay. Sure. Okay. And it seems that you're definitely in like, you're at almost the deepest part of the lake. So you, you can't see the bottom anymore. Um,
00:40:57
Speaker
All right. So anyone who's holding, uh, go ahead and make your athletics check. Oh, that's a good 15, 15. Uh, Thubber white is one of you holding or are you bull fishing? whole okay i'll four i'll fish on fish i fish Okay. And I'll hold, I'll try. Okay. So why it making athletics? It's not great.
00:41:22
Speaker
14. 14, okay. So, Morgrim, the tide is definitely a little bit stronger here, but you still managed to keep the boat mostly steady. Everyone in Morgrim's boat takes a minus one penalty. Wyatt, not so much. You're having a much more difficult time here. everyone So Thub, you will take a minus three penalty as the boat is jostled all around.
00:41:49
Speaker
um So everyone look over I just like look over on why if I can see visually struggling i'm like you need to do some push-ups, dude I ain't got rippling muscles like you. All right survival check
00:42:18
Speaker
That is a twenty-five. Twenty-five for Bastion. That is a twenty-six from me. That is a twenty-three for a ticket. Oh wait, no, sorry, twenty-five, twenty-five for me. Twenty-five. Uh, sorry, thick it what did you say? Twenty-three. No, it's not. Oh, sorry, did we not get the bonus? No, you get a minus one penalty this time. Ah, shit, dirty twenty. Okay, so.
00:42:47
Speaker
And sorry, Jacob, what did you say yours was again? 25. 25. Apologies. It's very difficult to keep all these numbers straight in my head. Okay. This is very fair. So, all three of you managed to hook something.
00:43:00
Speaker
um but i Bastion and Thub, you managed to get a critical success. So you the second you feel a bite, you just jerk your rod firmly up and you can feel that you hooked it hard. So you guys will get a plus two bonus to attempt to reel it in. So go ahead and make your athletics checks to try to reel it in with Bastion and Thub both getting a plus two circumstance bonus.
00:43:31
Speaker
There's a 19. I got a plus two circumstance bonus, he said. Yes. To your athletic check. Yay. It is a 24 in crime.
00:43:45
Speaker
That's a 12 for me. Wait, do I still get to do i still get the minus something? know No, no, No, that only applies to when you're searching for fish. That doesn't apply to you actually. Oh, OK. Yes, that's 24. OK, 24 for a Thub, 19 for Bastion, and 12 for Thicket. Give me a moment, in please.
00:44:16
Speaker
Okay, so Thicket unfortunately you are unsuccessful so you lose your bait and you don't get the hook you don't get the fish but Bastion and Thub both of you managed to reel in another trout ah Yeah a trout so party now has a total of five trout and Before Bastion puts it in the ah in the party stash, she's going to stand proudly with it like a white boy on Tinder. Oh, beautiful. Why it takes how does... Is Nikon's 570B camera takes a picture?
00:44:57
Speaker
ah the white and the white boy on tinder com um like just cut so de what was so accurate so Jacob, do you have one of those photos on your Tinder feet of the ocean ever. Why do you think I'd have a fishing picture on my profile?
00:45:20
Speaker
Oh, hey, look, look. I have the white boy fish photo on my tin. Oh, no. Oh, my God. You know what? You need a house. You know what? You need to put a fishing photo on your Tinder profile because it proves you can provide for the family. That's true. Sure. I don't eat fish, but I can provide fish for my future wife. Yeah. Hey, hey, you know, it's like they always say, buy a man, eat fish, he day, teach fish him. Not again. Kobe, Kobe, sit down one more time. You're getting the firing squad.
00:45:49
Speaker
Well, I'm just saying, like, what why do they call it an oven when you of the cold food have out hot eat the food? How food had me so So as you all are marveling over Bastion's catch, because it's a sizable trout, honestly.
00:46:15
Speaker
um
00:46:18
Speaker
Morgrim, something you notice is movement at the edge of the lake. Where? Off to the side. You think you see something behind a snowbank moving.

Unexpected Movement and Splash

00:46:30
Speaker
Oh, like on the shore? Yeah, on the shore. I will point it out to the others. See anything? Not currently. Which part of the shore are we looking at?
00:46:44
Speaker
Over here. I think over the the um Eastern Bank. Well. Probably not a problem yet. Not yet. This is something yet.
00:47:02
Speaker
So what are you all doing? I suppose we continue to fish. OK. Morgan, do you want to try your hand at fishing this time or do you want to stay holding? I don't care.
00:47:15
Speaker
Morgan's happy to do whatever. Bastion wants to hold the boat. So, Morgan, you get to fish this time. Alrighty. Alright, alright, alright. So, in that case, Bastion, go ahead and make your athletics or piloting lore check. I don't think you have piloting lore right now. Yet. Not yet. Not yet. And then Thubbin White is one of you trying to hold?
00:47:40
Speaker
or i'll try get a biscu yes you yes big must you Yes, you try and hold because you need the workout Oh, thanks for fucking nothing. 19 for Bastion. Wyatt, go ahead and roll your athletics. You'll thank me later. Oh, God damn it. Just do one push up. Thub goes, you'll thank me later. And then immediately Wyatt, like a geothermal current just poof pushes you all like a solid 10 feet away. ah So Thub, you're going to take a minus five penalty to your search.
00:48:30
Speaker
I can't even hear what he's saying. Neither can I. Why, sorry. It's okay. I'm sorry, I should drop noise suppression. Honestly, we heard that he was yelling and that's what matters. Yeah, that's what matters. And we get the sentiment. So, yes, all of the anglers go ahead and roll your survival checks with your associated penalty for Thub.
00:48:56
Speaker
God damn. 16. 17. 16, is that including the minus five? That is including the minus five. Okay, that's pretty good. 19. Okay. That's not great. 19, 16, 17. Considering I was expecting you to get a zero, I think 16 is pretty good. ah was I I couldn't have gotten a 21.
00:49:22
Speaker
Okay, so just a moment.
00:49:28
Speaker
Okay, so, um, thicket, you feel a bite, mortar, and thub. Both of you see large shapes moving under the water.
00:49:52
Speaker
What the fuck is that? o Whoa, what is what? So here's the question. Do you wish to allow these very large shapes to it to attempt to get on your line? Okay. Yes. Yes. Okay. So, uh, yeah, all three of you go ahead and make athletics checks.
00:50:26
Speaker
I'm frightened by what could possibly happen. Oh I rolled so bad. I feel we should be. 18. Okay. Can I use the arrow point? You can use the arrow point, yeah. I want to roll that again. Okay. Come on, don't let me down. Kevin said this was the athletics check, right? Yes. Oh, I hate my life. Oh my god. You wish I played better. it's I got 27.
00:50:55
Speaker
27, okay. um Okay, so, Morgrim and Thub, you stand firm, you brace yourselves, and Morgrim,
00:51:14
Speaker
this very large shape that comes out of the darkness, i which I should emphasize, it's really fucking big. like This fish's head is probably around the like around the width of your entire arm. This is a big fucking fish. This is truly a river monster, isn't it? It's a big fucking fish. Unfortunately, you weren't quite expecting it to be as strong as it is, and it just sort of swims up, grabs the bait off your hook, and just swims back.
00:51:51
Speaker
into the darkness. ah Thicket, you catch another trout. Oh, I got another trout. So the party now has six trout. Thub,
00:52:04
Speaker
you stand strong, you stand ready. And as this giant fish latches onto your hook, you start to pull.
00:52:18
Speaker
And as you pull, begin to pull it out of the water, this is what you all see come out of the water on the tub's farm. This absolutely massive fish with grayish purple leathery skin and these massive pink sacks under its chin.
00:52:41
Speaker
um And Thub, it's going to try to fight you.
00:52:48
Speaker
like why fight Like it's trying to fight its way off your hook. Cause right now it's still on your hook. So go ahead and make an athletic or like it. Would you like to try to grab it or do you want to try to like, what do you want to try to do here as this trying to like break free? fucking I don't know. Um, quick question. Yeah. How far away is it? Um, I mean, it's basically in your boat with you.
00:53:17
Speaker
Oh, can I, uh, now you want to know what's up does first, but then throw it off by this thing. Cause like, it's so weird, but, uh, okay. It looks like a ninjin. I don't know. It looks like a doll. It looks like a dolphin that like, that like try to shape shift to have a human like face, but failed.
00:53:45
Speaker
Can Greg create this? Yes, this is a great creation. After you knew we were going fishing. Oh, he created this months ago. When was it going to come up if we didn't go fishing?
00:54:05
Speaker
Eventually, if never so thought what are you doing?
00:54:10
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I'm going to fight this thing. I'm going to, I guess I'm going to try to grab it and put it on the boat so that I can, so that I can stab it with my sword and kill it. Okay. So Wyatt, what are you doing to try to help? I'm going to try and cast Divine Lance and try and like deal some damage to it. Okay. So I guess why it make an attack roll with Divine Lance and, uh, FUB, go ahead and make an athletics check. Let's check it is 22.
00:54:38
Speaker
twenty two Okay. first all right here we go athletics chicken That is a 24. Okay. So why I need you to roll damage real quick. All right. Whoa, wait, wait, wait. I got the bottom five. That means I do
00:55:03
Speaker
Wait, level 5 Divine Lance means, oh gosh. It is heightened so you deal some more damage. Yeah, I'm just making sure. Okay, it's not too much, 9 points of damage. 9 points of damage, okay. So Thub gets a plus 4 bonus to that athletics check.
00:55:20
Speaker
Oh, yeah. With the two of you working together as Thub starts to pull it in while you throw out your divine lance, which seems to stun the fish for just a moment, which is long enough for Thub to drag it into the boat with you. And you don't manage to get the whole thing in. This is a fucking big fish. It is about the size of your entire boat. Oh, God. And it is now flopping around.
00:55:47
Speaker
um So what do you want to do now that you have a big fish flopping around on your boat?
00:56:08
Speaker
moment where like Wyatt and Fob look at each other like, what are we doing? Go. Start wailing on the sink. Just shake the shit out of it. The rest of you. The rest of you why hello mr fishy i thought nice to meet rest of you watch as Thub and Wyatt pull this gargantuan fish into their boat and just start stabbing it. ah my god ah yeah Go ahead and roll in attack rolls both of you.
00:56:43
Speaker
I'm gonna use the ballot in my possession.
00:56:49
Speaker
Oh my lord. Ballot. Attack roll. Just make an attack roll. Just take a regular attack roll. With whatever you want, yeah. Fantastic. 19. I'm gonna deck the shit out of it. Our mom's strike.
00:57:08
Speaker
Okay, that is a 25 25 okay, both of you rule damage for me, please yeah Oh fucking god, I was so close to zero God fucking damn it. I did five Okay, so the two of you together just start punching this giant fish. And Wyatt, you were not expecting for this thing to have such a tough leathery hide. And the mallet almost completely bounces off of its blubbery skin. Thub, you just, we your fist sort of squishes into it and you think you might hear a rib cracking or something.
00:57:59
Speaker
um And as ah as it ah as it takes this, you hear it just let out this deafening screech as the air sacs seem to dis like deflate. So I need both of you to make fortitude saves real fast. Jesus Christ.
00:58:22
Speaker
The fuck dude. What is this? That's a 30. 30? Yeah, I got a 17. I have a plus 13 modifier. Jesus, Thub. Thub, you just cover your ears and don't you don't give a shit. Wyatt, on the other hand, you are slightly less lucky. So you are this is like painful you start to feel like your equilibrium be all thrown off by this uh you take uh three points of sonic damage oh three points as the fish unleashes this blast of sound um oh fuck
00:59:12
Speaker
you've got the yask in your boat now and it's still yeah this is a yask uh you've got it did not yassify us jacob you've got the thing yeah he couldn't yass if that's what that's what the screeching was he was trying to yassify us you've got this thing flopping around in your boat now you get the feeling that it's going to take a while for it to die even if you're why lips his hair uh he's yassified now Good Lord. um And as as the two of you are focused on this, hmm.
00:59:48
Speaker
Okay, thicket. Yes. you hear You think you hear something from the shore. You're not entirely sure what it is, but you think you hear all like the crunching of feet on snow.
01:00:04
Speaker
and then you hear a very loud splash very close to you. All of you hear this splash. No, no, no. And- Don't love that. There's something in the water. Bastion and Morgrim. Fickett, would you mention that something's near the that you hear something on the shore? Yep, I say in the exact tone and cadence that I said. You say, well, did you say that something's in the water or something's on the shore?
01:00:34
Speaker
Because you heard something on the shore. Something entered the water. Okay. So, everyone you look, or, well, at least everyone in Fickett's boat, so Morgrim and Bastion, you look to see what just splashed into the water. Because you also heard that. You didn't hear the crunching of snow, but you did hear something enter the water, and you look and see what appears to be a large chunk of bloody meat. Sinking. Excuse me? Towards the bottom.
01:01:07
Speaker
how large what but so what's Pretty solidly large. probably it looks like Honestly, it looks like it might be half of a deer carcass.
01:01:20
Speaker
seems like a waste of a good half a deer carcass And that is when you spot it.

Yask Fish Frenzy and Chaos

01:01:27
Speaker
Another yask fish coming from the darkness.
01:01:33
Speaker
and another yaskfish coming from the darkness, seemingly summoned by the blood as the two of them begin fighting over the carcass. How far was this? They're probably like 10 feet under you and maybe like five or so feet away from the boat itself. This carcass landed really disturbingly close to your boat. We might want to move. How did that get in the water?
01:02:01
Speaker
We might want to move our boat. Yeah, let's start rowing. It appears just growing that the yask have gotten themselves into a bit of a feeding frenzy. As one of them lets out a deafening burst under the water, shaking more Grem Bastion and thicket, shaking your boat. I need you all to make reflex saves. Oh no. Oh.
01:02:32
Speaker
Oh, I'm rolling really bad. Am I going in the water dying? Oh, God. Are we going in the water dying together? Oh my God. We all died in the water together. Well done. What did I, why am I fatigued? Because you did something. You were, oh yeah, it's because you were pedaling for too long. Oh, okay.
01:03:00
Speaker
um Okay, so, um as this sonic blast rocks your boat, morgrim and thicket, you manage to catch your balance. Bastion, on the other hand, falls into the water. Can I do anything to... I'll tell you what you can do. You can roll initiative. Yeah, in just a moment, as I pull up the map.
01:03:29
Speaker
um Which now has... rolling initiative against fish Give me just a sec, I've got a... The fact that there's one on Wyatt and Thub's boat is going to make this a little bit challenging. um Why? Wait, why? Because your boats are... it's It's a large creature, so it's bigger than your boat. Oh. We really need a bigger boat right now.
01:03:59
Speaker
So let me go ahead and drop all of you onto here. And Bastion is in the water and more- I know we're in a lake, but I hate the fucking ocean. Don't you live like near the ocean? Yes. You live in like the only- Big fate of the ocean. So. I saw a little shark from there the last time that I was in the ocean.
01:04:28
Speaker
there we go Those are positions. So everyone go ahead and roll initiative. Let me take the boats out of initiative. I mean, the boats don't get their own thing. No. ah And let me let me get some ah some some some different music going.
01:04:54
Speaker
So.
01:05:02
Speaker
i'm sure so sure my exact thoughts about the fatigue were well we're just going fishing so it probably doesn't matter all right so everyone has rolled that brings us to the top of round one with Wyatt ah there is still a giant fish in your boat Shit, uh Is it still like flopping around and do oh, yeah, it's still flopping around. Let me actually it's a wide wide That's what fish do when they're alive and drowning in the air As I prepare the castle like shut the fuck I know Um, it's gonna cast spiritual weapon right here. Okay cast that
01:05:49
Speaker
Yes, spiritual weapon doesn't have an actual location really. So, okay. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. Um, and I'm just curious to try to whack the one on the boat right now to like get the shut up basically. Okay. Go ahead and roll it. All right. Rolling the hit. Oh, come on. 25 to hit. Okay. A 25 does definitely hit. So go ahead and roll damage. Damage is going to come in.
01:06:20
Speaker
It's gonna be 11 points of damage. 11 points of damage, alright? As your spiritual weapon just whacks this fish across the face. Okay, ah okay. I have one action left. I'm gonna try to cast guidance on Bastion. Okay, you cast guidance on Bastion. I would say, Sir Seed's gonna get you out of this. If she doesn't, I'm gonna kill her.
01:06:44
Speaker
I have my own goddess, you know. Hey, get hurt. So we're going to have two of you trying to kill gods. Interesting. Epic. All right. That brings us now to i one of the yask, which is going to turn towards Bastion, who is now in the water and is going to attempt to capture prey. So it swims up to you, Bastion, and is going to attempt to bite you.
01:07:14
Speaker
with its massive jaws. ah That is a 29 to hit. Wow, that crits. That crits. Okay, let me roll some damage here.
01:07:27
Speaker
um
01:07:31
Speaker
Okay, Sebastian takes 31 points of bludgeoning damage. Oh my god. i And is grabbed by the fish.
01:07:41
Speaker
um i love being grabbed by a fish how how big are these fish again uh they're fucking big like like like we have like a size so your your boat is uh 10 feet long these are 10 foot long fish These are like sharks, basically, right? Yes. These are big fucking fish. And now that it has Bastion in its jaws, it is going to begin swimming away with Bastion. Oh, no. I'm going to go on an adventure. That was not correct. Let me just go ahead and attach you there.
01:08:29
Speaker
and it's going to attempt to swim to, it's gonna sort of swim almost in a circular motion to like right there. And drag that with it. This is like the nightmare version of Free Willy. I mean it's called Jaws. Now to the other fish, which is going to,
01:08:59
Speaker
swim, it's going to also swim over to here. And Bastion, I don't know why you're between spaces there. ah Let me just.
01:09:11
Speaker
ah
01:09:14
Speaker
So, Bastion, you're really right there. That fish is also going to try to capture you and its jaws. So both fish are trying to grab you right now. Bastion, that is a 15 hit.
01:09:29
Speaker
That does not hit. Okay. um I'm a little confused on the logistics, but okay. They're basically fighting over you. They both want to eat you. Well, I'm glad I'm desired by someone, even if it is fish. Well, you know, as your baseball hat says, lateable fish want me women fear me. No, my my hat says women want me fish fear me, but apparently this is the more accurate version. ah Well, that's just true. but So that's a 14 to hit with the second bite.
01:10:05
Speaker
That does not hit. Okay, and they're basically just under the surface of the water right now as we get to Thub's turn.
01:10:14
Speaker
Yes, my turn. Yes. That fish is still not in our boat, correct? Yes, it's in your boat. Oh, it's that one. I was looking at the wrong boat, sorry. The one that's currently under you.
01:10:25
Speaker
but Yeah, I don't know why I thought I was in the other boat. Also, I think this is the first appearance of your new token borders, so. Yeah. Yeah. They look good, honestly. I go to our YouTube and check out the token borders. Cameron spent a lot of time on them. Yeah, he sure did. So, yes, Thub, what would you like to do with your turn? So the first thing I'm going to do is channel elements. OK. Figure out.
01:10:53
Speaker
every time that I like the button doesn't work. You've got to hit it in the chat. You've got to hit the button in the chat. Oh, do I write out yeah in the chat and then I have to press apply. Whatever. So you can edit those up. Would you like to make your single action elemental blast as part of that? You know, sure.
01:11:15
Speaker
Do I get a multi-attack penalty if I do that? And I forget. Not right now because you haven't made any attacks this turn. But it will increase your multiple attack penalty for future attacks.
01:11:28
Speaker
So this attack will not have a penalty. Right, this attack will not have a penalty, but when I make the next attack it will. Yes. Okay, cool. Alright, cool. Yeah, I'll do an elemental blast. Fire a metal. It will be.
01:11:42
Speaker
we It'll be metal. Metal, okay. And this is going to be splashing. Cool. slash And I'm assuming you're targeting the one that's under you. Yes, I'm targeting the one that is under me. Okay. I mean, if it's the size of my boat, am I tend to am i standing on it? You're sort of straddling it. Straddling? Okay, I don't want to think about that.
01:12:14
Speaker
So yeah, I'll be doing that. I'm gonna make it my attack roll. I can't speak, I'm gonna make my attack roll. Okay. That is a 26. 26, that is a hit. Go ahead and roll damage. Fantastic. I just realized, with my... mom with my go Oh wait, is this a single action or a two action? Single action. Oh wait, here, let me... Oh, nevermind. That only changes damage, not your attack roll. Yeah, i challenge yeah that's right. Okay. So roll for dumb marsh now. Yes. 2d8 plus one. So that is going to be 10 points of damage. 10 points of slashing damage. All right. You have two actions remaining. Fantastic. I'm going to then
01:13:12
Speaker
take my sword, my sword, and I am going to try and... I'm going to attack the fish under me once more. Okay. Just stab it in the gills. Go ahead and roll the hit with multiple attack penalties. It does have gills, yes. multita Okay, that is going to be a 19.
01:13:42
Speaker
19 does hit. Go ahead and roll damage. Love to see it.
01:13:51
Speaker
I almost used my torches damage that was funny. Show the torch. Alright, 1d10.
01:14:06
Speaker
me one so nine points of damage nine points of uh was this slashing or piercing this was slashing all right nine points of slashing damage and you have one action remaining one action remaining uh i am then going to put some soap in its gills uh no
01:14:43
Speaker
do with my lu
01:14:49
Speaker
know I'm take a Hail Mary and attack this and attack this fish over here. Okay. With one of your with which which elemental blast? Metal. Metal? Okay.
01:15:05
Speaker
Go ahead and roll to hit then. right Single action elemental ranged with maximum multiple attacks. Yes. So yes. So that is a six. A six. That does not hit, unfortunately. Thub just sends these shards of metal out. Slap out of the water.
01:15:25
Speaker
um All right, that is the end of Thub's turn. That brings us to Bastion. And Bastion, as we start your turn, this water is fucking freezing. It's beyond freezing, actually, despite whatever geothermal heat is going on. So I need you to make a fortitude save. We love that. How's that going to be warming?
01:15:51
Speaker
Oh, that's a 27. 27, OK. So you think you think you're doing okay, but you definitely don't want to be in this water for long because you will catch hypothermia. Excellent. so Love hypothermia. Go ahead and take your turn.
01:16:08
Speaker
Wonderful. Because I am in this fish's mouth, I would like to cast Vampiric Feast on it. Okay, okay. Is that an attack roll for you? So that's a DC 21 basic fortitude. DC 21 basic fortitude, okay. So, yes, that's a D12, not a D20. I want the D20. That is going to be a 27. Okay, so it succeeds, but not critically. So half damage.
01:16:38
Speaker
It's gonna take half damage, it's gonna take half of, whatever the hell that is, half of 18. Half of 18, so nine, and then you heal four. And I get four temporary hits. Yes. Okay. Okay. With my final action, I would like to pretty please try and get myself out of the fish's mouth. Okay, go ahead and make an escape check. Athletic, sacrobatics, unarmed strike.
01:17:09
Speaker
That is a 24. A 24? And I always forget what this is against. This is against... Okay, do you see the effect? Okay, 24. That is a success. You manage to wrench yourself out of the creature's jaws as you ah hit it with the vampiric feast.
01:17:31
Speaker
um yeah All right, and that I believe is your turn. So guidance ends. Okay. And you now have guidance immunity. That brings us to Morgrim. I would like to row the boat next to Bastia and pull her up. Okay, so rowing the boat, that is an action to move it and it can move up to 20 feet. So I will, are you going over the fish or are you trying to go around the fish?
01:18:01
Speaker
I mean, he's under water, so I will go over because if we don't have enough space to go around, I will make it there. So yeah, you just ignore the fact that the fish is technically over the boat right now. I'm going to. There we go. That's better. um So thicket, you are also moved and morgram, you are also moved. So that's one action. for What the hell? Wow.
01:18:23
Speaker
one action do not be that close together here we go you um sogra you have two actions I would like to pull Bastion into the boat. Okay, so ah go ahead and make an athletics check.
01:18:49
Speaker
27. 27 all right Bastion you feel something grab on to you and you get ready to fight it But you then you realize it's just more grim pulling you up with her charred hands So I'm just gonna move you slightly over there we go Bastion you are now on the boat Thank you thought another bastard was trying to eat me More grim you have one action remaining for my last action i mean if i move the boat they can just come right back underneath this because i can't move so i'll just channel elements and get into thermal nimbus stance okay cool cool cool is thermal nimbus an action or
01:19:31
Speaker
I can do it with going into my channel elements. I can do a one action stance or use that on the quest. I completely forgot that you can do one action stance. Cool, cool, cool. All right, I like that. All right then, that brings us now to Thicket. Okay, my first question is, is there anywhere that I can summon Cranberry?
01:19:52
Speaker
in the water you could also well yeah no he will not fit on the boat so basically your only option is to summon him in the water. What about our boat? Would that hurt him? Cranberry would technically fit in your boat actually yeah he would fit in Wyatt and Bub's boat. Interesting. interesting Okay. um would ah Would water hurt him though? um Well it is cold so he he would I would say since he's an elemental, he wouldn't be at risk for hypothermia. i But I would say the cold is definitely not good for him, per se. It's not good for anyone. I mean, he's not even good for you. So. Okay. All right. And you're the one running around without a shirt on.
01:20:39
Speaker
I don't need it. i've I've got an internal heater. I have a good metabolism. Yeah, i'm gonna I'm gonna summon Cranberry in the other boat. Okay, so let me just move Wyatt over a sec and then Cranberry is now summoned into the other boat. ah And then ah with the other part of that, because it's a three action thing, Cranberry is just gonna make a strike against the Yas

Elemental Assistance and Boat Damage

01:21:05
Speaker
fish. Okay, go ahead and roll the hit. With a primary or secondary?
01:21:10
Speaker
That's gonna be Let's go with primary well actually I Don't know if these guys resist cold or fire They do live in a freezing cold lake Yeah, I'm gonna go front primary, okay 22 22 that is a hit go ahead and roll damage
01:21:44
Speaker
That is nine points of bludgeoning, one point of fire. Nine points of bludgeoning, one point of fire for a total of 10 points of damage. That yask fish is now bloodied.
01:21:55
Speaker
And that's the turn. Okay, that brings us now to the yask on the boat. It takes two points of fire damage. It takes two points of fire damage, hell yeah. All right. It is now going to attempt to flop its way out of the boat.
01:22:11
Speaker
um
01:22:14
Speaker
It is, since nobody is currently holding onto it, it is able to flop its way. Huh? Which one? The one in our boat? Yeah, the one in your boat. more remarkable Is it his turn yet? Oh, wait. Yeah, it's it's the fish's turn. It is able to wait. Wait, hold on. I thought that was the fish that's underneath tickets and and Morgan's boat. No. that Oh, wait.
01:22:41
Speaker
Because this one's pretty. I had. Oh, I had one of the fish act on the wrong initiative. It's fine. Oh, all right. So we're going to say this for for this round that this is the one under. All right. It partially flops its way out of the boat and it's going to take another action to attempt to flop all the way into the water. That's a nat 20. So yes, it flops all the way into the water. Fish in the water is no longer drowning.
01:23:08
Speaker
And it has ah one action remaining, um as it is also no longer prone. It is going to sort of spin in a circle and send out a deafening burst at your boat. So I need Quiet, Thub, and Cranberry to all make fortitude saves against the sonic damage. Fuck you.
01:23:36
Speaker
yes That is 29. 19. 19. And what did Cranberry get?
01:23:47
Speaker
27. 27. OK. So, sorry, Thub, what did you say you got again? 29. 29. OK. Thub gets a critical success, takes no damage. Why it gets a regular success is going to take half damage and Cranberry ah also gets a regular success, takes half damage. So both Thub and Wyatt, sorry, Wyatt and Cranberry are going to take um two points of sonic damage. However, your boat is also taking some damage here. Oh. So your boat waves. Am I taking damage as you're saying? No, the boat.
01:24:31
Speaker
No, I'm like, ah like, because you said before, that I misspoke. You are not taking damage. I misspoke. Thank you. I said your name instead of cranberries. Your boat is going to take from that. um The boat gets afforded to save. i Horribly fails the fortitude save. God damn it. Boat is going to take from that. No.
01:25:00
Speaker
um three points of sonic damage. And that is the end of that fish's turn. So that brings us now around to the top of round two with Wyatt. Um, uh, I guess it a state spiritual weapon. Okay. Underwater we attack that fish again. Okay. Go ahead and roll the hit. Um, that's going to be, uh, Oh my gosh. I keep getting how to go spiritual weapon attacking.
01:25:36
Speaker
Oh shit, 13 to hit. 13 does not hit, unfortunately. All right. Okay. That's a one action thing, right? Yes. One action to sustain it. I can't do it again. Am I? You can only sustain once. Correct. Once. Yeah. That guy's got two more actions. I'm going to say you're going to kill that thing, right? Please. I'm going to cast guidance on him with one action. Shocked. All right. You have one action remaining.
01:26:05
Speaker
And then my second action is going to be... ah I will attempt to... Oh, shoot. I missed that. Oh, whatever. ah Okay. Can I aid in Cranberry's next attack somehow?
01:26:22
Speaker
um No, wait. Oh, wait. No, no, no. Wait. I know. I know what I did for my last action. Can I row the boat?
01:26:29
Speaker
sure you can ride boat up to 20 feet when you do athletics check or no just tell me where you want it okay can i can we just row it like start growing it away from this creature 20 feet away okay yeah 20 feet away from this monstrous creature preferably relative east okay so why it turns the boat around well actually it's i'm remembering how vehicles work it takes an action to pivot the boat Oh. So. I pivot the boat. You pivot the boat, turn it around so it will be able to move. However, that does also reposition all of you.
01:27:12
Speaker
um ah There we go. Fucking. So that was. I guess it would be a much, it would be a much more different view if I knew we would have to pivot. But yes, I heard.
01:27:25
Speaker
um All right, that brings us now to the fish that had bitten Bastion before. um Which is going to... It is going to try to jump onto the boat and bite at Bastion again. As it takes two points of fire damage from Thermal Olympus.
01:27:47
Speaker
ya um That is a 21 to hit Bastion. hits okay so Bastion you take 17 points of bludgeoning damage oh as it just clamps its jaws around your leg um and It is then going to, with its head still above water, it is going to send out a deafening burst. So let me go ahead and measure this out just just in case, just you know for the hell of it.
01:28:30
Speaker
um
01:28:36
Speaker
Let's see. okay so it's going to get everyone in rowboat one so i need bastion thicket and morgram and the boat itself to all make fortitude saves success success all right hang on i'm having some dish here we go
01:29:10
Speaker
please please please 16 16 failure okay so thicket ah is going to take full damage well it's it's half because you're not underwater but um so You take the full half damage. The full half damage, yes. So that is going to be six damage to Thicket, three damage to Bastion, three damage to Morgrem. And the boat itself is going to take... Let's see if I can do some math real quick. The boat itself is going to take...
01:30:00
Speaker
Oh my god, what the fuck is wrong with me? There we go. Fair. The boat itself is going to take seven points of damage. So currently,
01:30:17
Speaker
Bastion, Morgrim, and Thicket, your boat is like on the verge of sinking. hey Oh no. That brings us now it's bad to the osc that just escaped, um which is going to, um it is not in range of thermal nimbus, so it is going to swim away and disappear into the depths. God damn it.
01:30:51
Speaker
We take those. We take those. far The one that got away. No, we don't. We had the fucker. Yeah. That's probably the one. That's probably the one that had the most damage too. We could have killed it. it did want lose like that Old guy in a bar. Who's like going one time I lost this fish. if It was a magnificent beauty. We're retiring after this. That brings us to Thub now. What would you like to do?
01:31:19
Speaker
My wood fucking elemental blast, the goddamn fish that was bloodied. But now I'm going to have to settle for the fish that's under these speller's boats over here. Like a fucking, like a fucking desperate person. Anyways, held double elemental blast, two action, ranged, metal.
01:31:47
Speaker
Slashing. Go ahead and roll the hit. Answering all your questions before you can ask them. That's a A 25, that is a hit. Go ahead and roll damage.
01:32:04
Speaker
2d8 plus 4.
01:32:10
Speaker
yes
01:32:13
Speaker
Okay, that is 11, that's 4, that's 15, makes up damage. 15 points of slashing damage, all right. The thumb is visually pissed and he takes it out on the fish. All right, you have one action remaining. The next fish that he sees. One action remaining, okay.
01:32:40
Speaker
I'm so close to just saying, you know, I'm gonna do an unarmed strike on Wyatt for letting the fish What's I gotta do with it? A, you pivoted the boat. B, you didn't hold the damn thing down. I pivoted the boat because I'm about to all die, you idiot. Bub is so angry that he loses that they lose their accent.
01:33:09
Speaker
e you realize you're you' actually The entire time I had an idea of what I was going to do for when that gets pissed in his accent. I'm going to change. I forgot exactly which accent I was going to. Oh, damn. Either way, school you have one action remaining. OK, one way or another. I'm going to.
01:33:33
Speaker
You know what? This fish was made for the water. it was new for the cold water I'm going to throw some heat at it. Okay. And some serious heat. So elemental blast of fire. Is that a single multi-attack penalty or a double? Uh, just, just single. Single? Okay. So yeah, elemental blast of fire ranged.
01:34:02
Speaker
Okay. roll that And that's just the first multi-attack, not the second, just clarify. You're taking regular old minus five multiple attack mental take. Fantastic. That is a 19 to hit. No, wait. Whoa, wait. I'm dumb. I can't math 17. 17 unfortunately does not hit. And the fire fizzles out almost completely the second it goes into the water. Unsurprising. All right. That brings us to Bastion as Thub's guidance ends. Okay.
01:34:39
Speaker
I would like to try and remove my foot from the fish's mouth. It doesn't currently have you grabbed. That was flavor. Oh, it doesn't have me grabbed? That was flavor. Oh, that's excellent news. Okay, in that case, I would like to start by casting telekinetic projectile using a fish hook. Mm-hmm. Go for it.
01:35:12
Speaker
so that's attack roll from you that is a 16 a 16 unfortunately does not hit what tragic news um i am however then going to use my final action to use one of my font of heal to do a one action heal on myself lovely okay go ahead and cast that then
01:35:45
Speaker
11 points for me. All And that will bring us now to more grim. If I lean over the side of the boat, can I get both fish in a 30 foot cone? Yes, easily. Well, sorry, both fish. ah So one's directly one's directly under you. That's the problem.
01:36:11
Speaker
So basically you'd have to, basically you'd have to target one or the other from this position. Even if I like did it from this part of the boat? If you jumped into the water, you'd be able to do it. pasta jar in the water Don't do that. yeah Okay, well then I will not do what I was going to do. I'll just do certain the flying flame down to go through both of them. That's a DC 22.
01:36:38
Speaker
all right so reflex saves from each so the one that's directly under you gets a 31 and the other one gets a 22 yeah DC was 22 so they both pass or half damage uh where is my little dice thing why is it not coming up
01:37:09
Speaker
And then I get two, there you go.
01:37:15
Speaker
Well, so six points of fire damage. Six points of fire damage, okay, and they have weakness due to Thermal Nimbus, so that's plus two, and then that's minus five from them being underwater. So that is a total of three to each.
01:37:35
Speaker
I don't think that's how math works. We've got a shore right now. And. OK, do you have any actions? I think you have one action remaining. One action.
01:37:51
Speaker
I guess I can move the boat. OK. Where do you want to move it? I guess towards shore. OK.
01:38:02
Speaker
um Then in that case, 20 feet towards shore. And I'll move the rest of you. I love how the image just like implies the boat leaves and we're just all standing there like scooping up the style over a cliff. Oh shit, I forgot to attach the character model. That is the end of Morgrem that brings us to Thicken. And her Morgrem's turn, not the end of Morgrem. That brings us to Thicken. Morgrem has spontaneously removed herself from existence.
01:38:36
Speaker
All right. thick guess So like to do some compostive that already happened. This is true. That did already happen. I am going to.
01:38:53
Speaker
So theoretically, like could cranberry enter the water and like like from like a mechanical perspective, like what what would the penalties be for that? um well i would say that he'd start taking cold damage um and i'm reviewing i'm taking cold cranberry cranberry was never in the water
01:39:25
Speaker
Oh, I thought you were going to Thicket. Thicket was also never in the water. he stuck his He stuck his arm under. But I'm reviewing the aquatic combat rules. But i yeah, so.
01:39:45
Speaker
There's a minus two penalty to melee slashing and bludgeoning attacks that pass through water. And off guard unless you have a swim speed. So basically those would, and you can't use actions with the fire trait underwater. I see. So those those are the detriments for cranberry going underwater disregarding the cold. Okay. Well, in that case,
01:40:19
Speaker
Cranberry's not gonna do anything. And Thicket is going to cast Electric Arc on ah both of these fellows. Interesting, okay. And that's a reflex save, I believe. Yes, it is. Okay, so this one gets a 15, and the other one gets a... The other one gets a 29.
01:40:43
Speaker
ah So the first one fails the other one succeeds, okay, so full damage with the first half damage to the second four scene oh lots of lot damage um wow All right all right um Lovely, li lovely. lee And I don't think that has any special effects for underwater. I don't believe so. All right, then. ah I believe that's the end of your. No, you have one extra remaining. I have one extra remaining. I'm not really sure what I want to do with it. I guess I will.
01:41:25
Speaker
I don't really want cranberry to go into the water. I will cast guidance on this next to the order. why it is. I'll cast ah i'll cast guidance on Wyatt. Okay, what's the range on guidance? Uh, pretty long I think.
01:41:45
Speaker
30 feet. 30 feet. Wyatt is out of range. All right. In that case, I cast it on Bastion. Bastion has guidance immunity. Son of a bitch. You literally have one option besides yourself. Yeah. All right. It's going to Morgrem. Okay. Morgrem is now guided. So reluctant. Yeah. I I'm going in turn order.
01:42:13
Speaker
That brings us now to the one of the fish which is going to attack the other fish. Oh Oh, right. i keep eating frezi Yeah, um that is a success ah Yeah, they are in fact animals so they're fighting over their food Okay deals 14 points of damage to the other fish Jesus um and is going to ah do it again. That one's a failure. And one more time. That one is also a failure. Okay, so that's the end of that fish's turn. That brings us to Wyatt.

Encounter with Saber Tooth Hunters

01:43:00
Speaker
um We row. All right, you're rowing to shore? road Yeah, rowing to shore. All right. So 20 feet.
01:43:13
Speaker
That's one action. You have two remaining. Yeah, sure. Wait. I'll take one action and see if I can see that thing that threw the deer into the water, that bloody deer corpse in the water. Because I know they're all they're all like yelling at it, like some stupid tourist who thinks they see like a sperm whale in the water.
01:43:38
Speaker
So I'm like, what what are they talking about? Is there a creature on the shore? I'll roll a perception set. You take a look at the shore as you head towards the shore and you think you catch a glimpse of something, multiple somethings, ah that quickly duck behind us the snow bank. It almost looked like a person or like people,
01:44:05
Speaker
furry people. ah right There's fucking fairies in the snow bank over there! you think you you think spotted you think you might You think you might have just spotted a pair of saber tooth hunters. There's saber tooth hunters over there! How far away are they?
01:44:25
Speaker
on the shore so there there are good ways away from you right now like 120 feet maybe more than that damn it so they currently if they're on the shore they're 2400 feet away from you oh minimum what four they're okay the shore is really far away from you right now okay okay uh yes we are why it's gonna drain it in the middle of a lake Why it's gonna, in that case, use the last action, slap one of the fish with the spiritual weapon. Slap? Go ahead and roll the head. It's a staff. It's a holy glowing staff. Well, at first you didn't specify spiritual weapon, so it sounded like you were just gonna reach in and slap a fish. I wish. Sadly, why it's too short for that. Ugh.
01:45:17
Speaker
That's gonna be okay. That's gonna be 27. 27. I'm assuming you're attacking the one closest to you. Oh, yeah. Okay. That's a hit. Go ahead and roll damage. All right. Oh gosh. I've lost where my roll of damage fake. Okay. Roll damage. 2d8. Oh, not great. Seven points of damage. Seven points of damage. Okay.
01:45:44
Speaker
That's my turn. That is the end of your turn. Row, look, slap. There we go. what ah What a good turn. That brings us to the osk, which is going to... It's now just outright fighting the other fish.
01:46:02
Speaker
um
01:46:05
Speaker
That is a 29, so that is a hit. It is going to deal... A significant chunk of damage to the fish there. So that fish is now bloodied. All right. It's going to go for one more bite. um That is a miss. And then it is as its final action, it is going to swim away into the depths.
01:46:34
Speaker
Goodbye fish. Bye. fish. There is now one fish remaining and it is bloodied. It's not that one. Thub, you're up. You got a bloody fish? Thub, you're up. I wonder what Thub is going to do. I don't know. I bet he's going to use one of his many impulse abilities. And you would be right, sir. Would I be? Well, I can't figure out what kind of thing he is.
01:47:09
Speaker
you're Technically, you're right. I don't know.
01:47:14
Speaker
switch kind
01:47:18
Speaker
I do magnetic pinions, but that makes that makes Metal fly out of me and you know, I'm I am on a very tight boat. So it it comes from your kinetic aura. So in Britain? i'm supposed to be electric oh yeah yeah you have electric breath yeah i have electric breath that's right okay um now that's a level five thing you did not have that before yes that is right this is brand new i haven't used it yet like yeah you know what let's fucking let's let's go for it okay if you use it right now you're going to hit your friends which one uh friend mary
01:48:09
Speaker
Please don't electrocute Cranberry. If you use it right here, you're going to hit Cranberry and probably the boat. Yeah, no, you hit the boat.
01:48:22
Speaker
a So would you like to try switching? Would you like to try to reposition Cranberry? Because Rachel, you'll love this. We've discovered that the reposition action is a thing now.
01:48:35
Speaker
Oh. So yeah this is something they added in the remaster where you just can, you can do this to allies and enemies. You can just move them up to five feet. Oh. Really? like Yeah. So Thub, would you like to take an action to reposition Cranberry?
01:48:56
Speaker
You know what? Yes. Okay. ah Let's see if Cranberry is willing. That's the real kicker. Okay, Cranberry is willing. So you're able to just move Cranberry five feet over. And now you have a path to the- I'm perfect to this actually. So you will watch as Thub's mouth begins to crackle with electric energy and just sends out this burst of electricity. um And
01:49:33
Speaker
Oh, wait, actually, let me double check if, oh, yeah, you I think you have a line with electricity, so. Yes, I do have a whole line. I wasn't gonna use the code. Yeah, you don't hit the, I think it's it's determined by your ancestry, I think. I can't remember, it doesn't matter. Either way, so it now needs to make a reflex save against your, again wait, 42 reflex, hold on. I need to check the documents.
01:50:01
Speaker
the document I need to check the documents because we haven't used this ever before. ah So I forgot completely to memorize it. um Let's see. ah So you are toe test, so line electricity, reflex save. So it needs to make a reflex save with a DC of 21, I believe. ah It gets a 24, so it takes half damage. So go ahead, 3d4 damage, and then that will be halved. 3d4 damage, and that would be halved. Yes.
01:50:49
Speaker
Okay, so 3d4 damage.
01:50:58
Speaker
Okay, so that is 9 divided by 2, 4.5, which are we rounding up? Uh, rounding down. So, why? Because that's how this game works, you always round down in Pathfinder. Unless the ability specializes otherwise. Bath! That's just- it's how the game rules work. Ugh, alright, 4 damage. 4 points of electricity damage. Alright, it is still bloodied.
01:51:29
Speaker
And that is the end of Thub's turn. That brings us now to Bastion. Okay, I would like to cast Daze on it. You're casting Daze? Daze. It's a basic will save. Daze. Daze. All right, that is going to be 15. That fails. All right.
01:52:00
Speaker
All right, that's going to be nine points of mental damage. Nine points of mental damage. All right. And then with my last action, I'm just going to try and get us another 20 feet away from the. OK, you wrestle the oars away from Morgan and move the boat an additional 20 feet. So we're just going to there we go.
01:52:40
Speaker
to do a weapon and infusion and then do a two action range.
01:52:54
Speaker
Pulses and change it to piercing okay, that is going to be a hit go ahead and roll damage is still pretty good So nine points of damage. All right. This fish is looking pretty beat up. And I will do the same thing with a one action. All right.
01:53:38
Speaker
Twenty five. Twenty five. That does hit. Go ahead and roll damage.
01:53:47
Speaker
Nine points of damage. Nine points of damage again. All right. This fish is looking real beat up right now. um All right, then that brings us now to thicket. All right. What would you like to do? If Cranberry moves right here, would he be within punching range of the fish? Sure. OK, so I'm going to start with an act together.
01:54:11
Speaker
ah Where? I will, well Thicket will, uh, actually, has that even worth doing an act together? I guess not. Oh, here we go. Uh, I'm going to boost Eidolon. Okay.
01:54:33
Speaker
So you boost, you boost your boy. My boy is boosted. Uh, and then as the other part of that, he's going to just move over there. Okay.
01:54:44
Speaker
And now cranberry has ah the the but the Two actions remaining yeah, so he's gonna start with a punch right do its dumb fishy face And that is a 22 22 that is a That is mmm it's underwater so unfortunately that is just barely a miss dude that minus two underwater penalty all right then I will attack again okay go for it this time with my secondary set of arms yeah that's a that's a dirty 20 that is unfortunately once again a failure jite that's my turn okay so
01:55:41
Speaker
In that case, that brings us to the fish, which is going to very simply swim away. I wish I was song group. I could hit it. Attack of opportunity. It swims away and is lost to you into the depths. No, no, come back. However, you're no longer being attacked by yosh, yosh fish anymore. So. Oh.
01:56:06
Speaker
No more fishing. Time to go home. Yeah, I would have initiative. um Get back here, you fucking cowards! So here's the question. Are you heading to the shore where you know that there are saber tooth or are you going back the way you came? Is it getting dark? To deal with the people that tried to sabotage and get us murdered? Yes. Oh, back in the background from it's called ah all the I fucking remember what it's called. Damn it. Something to do with fish. Revenge. It's called feeding the fish. It's called feeding the fish. That's why it's called the fishies. No, that's too basic. Like that was like, of course, the years ago, that'd be far too simple for him to do now. Okay. So we we we feed the fish. So you are heading to the shore right now. Yeah. Okay.
01:56:59
Speaker
All right, so that is going to take you a little bit to get there, so 10, 20, 30. It takes you around 30, 35 minutes to get to the shore.
01:57:14
Speaker
Okay. We still see them, or are they just like? So you don't currently see them. However, as you you bring your boats up to the shore, um Bastion, I do need you to make a quick fortitude save against hypothermia as the breeze is still blowing and you are still in the Arctic tundra. Let me actually double check what temperature it is right now. Yeah, it's zero degrees right now, so. Fahrenheit? Yes, Fahrenheit. So, okay. Yeah, Bastion, I would say you've caught hypothermia at this point.
01:57:52
Speaker
Oh. My thing, my fire aura didn't help warm her up any? Oh, you make a good point. thermal Thermal Nimbus, that'll give you enough of a bonus to say that you you don't have hypothermia then. Yay. Yeah, that's fine. I also give her my extra, or my winter clothes, because I have some I took from before, but I don't need them, so I don't use them. Well, so here's the thing about hypothermia. Part of the reason that she's getting that is because she's in wet clothes. Yes. So would that be changing right now?
01:58:22
Speaker
I guess I will awkwardly try and change them. I will hold up my purple rug to give you a little changing tint in the middle of the boat. That rug has and given the most utility out of any random object I've given you guys ever. It is the best thing ever. It's perfect. There we go. Okay. Bastion, you hear your heart start screaming at you, this is so mortifying.
01:58:50
Speaker
i body on Oh... But this isn't what you looked like in your life. No, and thank God for that.
01:59:04
Speaker
Ouch. Oh my god. That's supposed to be very rude. My butt does not have a high opinion of me.
01:59:16
Speaker
ah So, you all get to shore. Bastion changes into the spare winter clothes. um Do you leave the wet ones in the boat? Yeah. Okay. That's a problem for later.
01:59:32
Speaker
You all get out of the boats, I'm assuming. um are you Are you looking around? We need there's nowhere to tie us you pull them onto to the yeah theyre theyre their lightwe so you're you you pull them onto the shore. yeah We'll say you take 10 minutes or so to pull them.
01:59:51
Speaker
and just so you know, Morgan wants to keep an eye on him and make sure no one gets, goes behind and tries to sabotage. Oh, of course, of course. I mean, how, how far do you think you're going to go during the course of looking?
02:00:08
Speaker
Because last you saw them, they were probably over in this hex. So a few hundred feet away. Um.
02:00:23
Speaker
I don't think we'll go far. I think we'll start in that hex, see if we can find a trail. And if the trail goes more than like five minutes, we'll probably like go home. Okay. Okay. So, uh, who is leading this?
02:00:41
Speaker
I will try. Okay. Um, Morgan, do you have bonuses to tracking? I didn't know. I thought that was under survival.
02:00:54
Speaker
ah Well, right. sort So if you're trying to track, then that would be a bonus to your survival check to track. I'm just trying to remember if your favorite terrain gives you anything with that. I'm looking, I'm going to look right now. Let's see. No, it's just a can walk at full speed without having to balance it. I'm not affected by a severe extreme cold. Okay. And I eat very little. Okay. So yeah, Morgan, if you want to lead, then that is a survival check.
02:01:31
Speaker
Okay, let me get back to the other pain.
02:01:38
Speaker
26. 26? Okay. So, you start looking through
02:01:52
Speaker
Sorry, excuse me. You start- We look really sad. I'm in the dirt, I'm in the snow. You start looking around for tracks, and as you move over to where you last, or where Wyatt last saw these people, you definitely do find quite a few tracks in the snow.
02:02:15
Speaker
um you find some, what definitely look like boot prints. Thankfully, it's not snowing right now, so there's nothing to really cover the tracks up. ah So you definitely, you find some boot prints, but you also, you like you find some that are normal person size, but you also find what look like significantly larger boot prints. Like probably like,
02:02:45
Speaker
probably close to twice the size of a normal person's foot. um oh And they they look a little bit wider, like they're not as long as a person's foot is, they look a little bit more stubby. um oh And yeah, you so you see right now two sets of normal footprints and then two, well, what actually kind of look like maybe four sets of these larger boot prints. And you also see, it looks like something was dragged along behind the larger boot prints.
02:03:34
Speaker
And you can see them start to go off into the distance, sort of around the lake.
02:03:46
Speaker
Would you like to follow? Shall we follow or go back?

Session Reflection and Character Discussion

02:03:53
Speaker
And let's go back. I think I've had enough for now. They do you think there might still be an auditory listening range? I asked the party if they can still hear us.
02:04:10
Speaker
i don't know how clear is this terrain like is it flat and for us there's a lot of snow banks but okay so slide's gonna try something why it's gonna try and lure them back start yelling out towards where the tracks lead um and it's actually okay roll like i'm gonna try and insult them back what what would i roll do that i i guess performance performance okay um
02:04:50
Speaker
so bad at this you're bad at all of these skills so uh that is a four he's going to go on a rant uh essentially just detailing out this this concept of anthropomorphism uh about what genetic uh legacies could result in this including uh the paternal side of the family uh being involved in the maternal side uh and he's gonna just i just yell that It's gonna yell that out. Bastion is gonna go over to the boat and try and repair it a little bit. Okay, so as Wyatt rants about how much he hates furries, and Bastion goes to fix the boat, that is where we're gonna end the session. Oh my gosh. Wow. So... We did it. Morgan, how are you feeling? Okay, she didn't like...
02:05:45
Speaker
these guys trying to kill them. So she she kinda wants payback, but. Fair, fair. um Thicket, how are you feeling? Well, I feel like that's your answer just about every time. i I think it is. You know, I realized that just as I was about to say that, I was like, oh man, I'm going to be so original. ah That was a good ass fight. I wish we could have killed those fish because I really want to eat them. I know.
02:06:15
Speaker
You'll have to go back for the next time. Thub, how do you feel?
02:06:22
Speaker
Still pretty pissed that you didn't get more of those fish, but I don't know how you are. Hey, at least you got a bunch of trout. We did get a bunch of trout. We did, yeah. We did walk away with AW of sorts.
02:06:35
Speaker
um Wyatt, how are you feeling as you're yelling about things? Fishing for him is normally a relaxing thing. He's not very happy that this was not a relaxing thing. And he's putting out is his spots to the people responsible for that right now. And Bastion, how are you feeling? She was really looking forward to have like a nice chill day where like We didn't have to fight shit, but then we had to fight shit, so like, a little bummed out. Fair enough. How are we all feeling as players? Not bad. Very good. that was That was fun. That was fun. That was fun. That was baller. I feel pretty pissed I didn't get one of those fish. I know. You were really close. that That last fish was on the verge of mortal. Really? Yeah, I had like 12 hit points.
02:07:25
