Speaker
Welcome
Introduction to the Stranded Campaign
00:00:19
Speaker
survivors to our first session of a brand new campaign. um Assuming you haven't listened to the probably horrible audio of the other two things we did for this. um But ah welcome to our first session one of Stranded.
Character Introductions
00:00:41
Speaker
ah Tonight with me is, I've got with me, Bill. Hi everybody, I'm Bill. I like to blow shit up. Let's go! Yes, and next up, Frank. Hey-o, I am Frank. I will be playing Blake Lightcastle. And I am drinking white claws. Do not judge me for the white claws, they are terrible.
00:01:10
Speaker
I am drinking Simply Spiked Strawberry Lemonade.
00:01:15
Speaker
ah Up next we have Jaden. Hello, my name's Jaden. I am playing Avalon Zephyr and I inhaled my inebriation for tonight. And last, but possibly not least, depending on how he feels, Hayden
00:01:37
Speaker
Hey, I'm playing Riker Craft and I'm drinking Coke Zero's for the night because I'm your silly mornin' boy. i will be sure so We all know that you don't follow that whenever you're not being recorded, so why do you have to pretend?
00:01:56
Speaker
Alright, so... um Okay. Uh, let's start. All right.
Earth's Crisis and Space Missions
00:02:08
Speaker
So at the turn of the century, the year 2100, the people of earth collectively, collectively accepted that perhaps the planet did not have unlimited resources and something needed to be done. Yeah. Well, most of them accepted, uh, after much research, mining, further stripping of the earth's precious resources, failure after failure, war, some more failure.
00:02:36
Speaker
And finally, a conglomerate of some of the largest tech companies across the world finally built what they believed to be the first ships that might actually make it to Proxima Centauri B, the closest exoplanet that might be habitable by human life. Five ships were built costing trillions of dollars and lots of resources. Cryogenic technology was created that would keep the travelers alive during the trip. and everything was carefully planned so that once they arrived, they could survive and thrive on the new planet. Two of the ships, the Marko and the Hail Mary, had catastrophic failures before they even left the solar system, exploding and taking out a third ship, the Ascension.
Waking Up on an Unknown Planet
00:03:21
Speaker
As for the other, the citizens of the polo have no way of knowing. They were allowed to remain awake during the first year of the journey, if they so chose.
00:03:30
Speaker
but eventually all were required to enter cryo-sleep by the end of the year and allow the ship's autopilots to take over the rest of the journey. So if the remaining ship, the HMS Kanye West, survived or not is hard to say. When the crew of the polo finally did wake, disaster was upon them. Something was wrong. The ship was falling apart and the few colonists that could escaped in pods and crash-landed on an unknown planet. was this proximate Centauri, they could only hope. Our story focuses on the lives of a small band of survivors from a single dropship, one of at least two that we know made it to the surface.
Survival Strategies and Camp Politics
00:04:09
Speaker
After a harrowing year, winter has come, the days grow even longer, and our party gathers to learn the detail the details of their next mission.
00:04:19
Speaker
um Standing on a large rock near a plastic wall is Matthias, one of the few people left in camp with any wilderness survival experience. Since the beginning of the winter, he has somewhat taken over the task of handling excursions and was the one who implemented the rotation. He himself goes on almost all the rotations and as far as anyone can tell, he plans to keep doing so until he feels he can trust someone else to take over. Not everyone is happy. about him being in charge, especially the P.A.P. or people against plastics. But even they have to admit he's the best chance the survivors have of making it through the winter.
Character Backstories and Camp Life
00:04:59
Speaker
If everyone would like to introduce them, their characters, you guys are standing around this big rock near the wall. How exactly do you want us to introduce them? Like, you know, some backstory and then what we did, a rough estimate of what we did over the last year? Sure, yeah.
00:05:19
Speaker
OK, I'm not ready for that, so let's go. I mean, or you can just say yourself and say, like, I'm leaning against a rock chewing on a blade of grass, you know. However you want to introduce your character. What what time of day is this? just to It is early morning. This is like. Early morning. um Then Riker Craft. Yeah, so Riker, he's average height. He's about 5'10". And he's pretty slim. He has brown hair. And the one noticeable thing about him is his eyes are purple. And though if you look at his eyes, they you know they're not one, but they're like different shades of purple, kind of all mixed and matched together.
00:06:13
Speaker
um And so in the mornings, he does go on runs. So he has a high constitution and he took tough. ah It's going to be kind of something that he would do endurance. But yeah, so he's probably going on a run. And a little bit about him is he is one of the last remaining survivors of the wealthy families. um that paid their way onto this voyage. But yeah, he has developed magic through the last year of being here. That's Riker. All right. um As the sun is slowly riding on the horizon across the the atmosphere of the exoplanet we surround,
00:07:11
Speaker
um the the the the
00:07:21
Speaker
yeah
00:07:24
Speaker
<unk> stroking his chin um my chicken my my chicken oh yeah you can't say them this's the family friendly podcast he's got to have a chicken
00:07:38
Speaker
he's got a chicken he smuggled from earth the fifth the cry o gel oxygen that goes into your lungs um but yeah so i i've i got a chicken and then i also have brought in many many alcoholic drinks from our original planet that ah people may or may not know about
00:08:10
Speaker
finally um left if you if any of it survived the crash. True.
00:08:22
Speaker
OK, well, while we're waiting for a Bill to come back, I guess I'll go ahead and do mine. I don't have it i have it like thought out, but I don't have it written out. So basically, my name is Blake Lightcastle.
00:08:37
Speaker
I am probably standing on the edge of the group or ah on a stump that's nearby. um Whittling. um I was a forest ranger or a park ranger on Earth. um Back whenever there were still forests and parks to range.
00:09:05
Speaker
I'm sure there's a few. Yeah, but as the the amount of like deforestation and stuff that occurred happened, more less and less jobs were available for those park ranger type positions. He eventually lost his job, ah fell into a depressive spiral and developed a hatred hatred towards modern like modern tech and and the ever turning wheel of of What's the word among for RRS kind of sort of Technology development Anyways, so whenever the
00:09:54
Speaker
With the possibility to get on a ship and come to a new world, an opportunity that he felt like he couldn't pass up. He signed up, was chosen and and boarded on the long Arjo's flight. um Once he got here, he spent the majority of his time ranging through the forest, attempting to discover new things. um And in such time, he did make a small, Rizzard friend, or no, Squizzard friend, um that he now takes with him everywhere. That's that's my intro. Yay. Squizzard is a squirrel lizard. Yeah. Bill, do you want to try?
00:10:42
Speaker
You did right now. You muted yourself, Bill. Can you hear me still?
00:10:50
Speaker
where you can hear him. Kind of. OK. I'm having to load back into everything since I had to restart, but well that's going. ah I'm playing Lucky. He is a engineer. He's so waking and waking up, getting everything all stretched out and everything. um He was one of the engineers for the ship, formerly ah formally in the armed services. So his favorite thing of the world are drinking, fighting, blowing shit up, and sleeping. And so he walks out of his bunk area. He's ready to meet the day with a grizzled look and wondering what he's going to blow up today.
00:11:48
Speaker
All right, so all of you um have been assigned to go on an excursion today. It's y'all's turn. um So you're all meeting up around the big rock that matt Matthias is sitting on is sitting on and as you arrive, he stands up. um he is
Winter Challenges and Predator Tracking
00:12:07
Speaker
a um He's got like a nice bushy beard and um Hold on, did I make a picture for him? I didn't. Hold on, let me- I felt and failed to give an actual description of my character, but basically he's like a five foot ten, like, red-haired, bushy mustache looking dude. If you- people following along at home, if you know who Nigel Thornberry is, he's modeled after that guy. So this guy has, um,
00:12:45
Speaker
ah he's got he's He's older, he's got kind of a ah graying beard. His hair looks pretty sweaty. um he's wearing a ah He's wearing his service uniform, um but it's pretty beat up and and and not in great condition because he's been wearing the same outfit for the entire year. um
00:13:12
Speaker
Luckily, that was one of the things that he was able to get off the ship before he jumped into the escape pod. Hang on, I'm going to upload a picture of him real quick to his character sheet, edit, upload. Where'd that picture go? There it is.
00:13:36
Speaker
Save. There he is. um So he stands up on the rock and and he works rough. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's been a rough year for everybody, you know, uh, and he stands up and he's like, all right, as you all know, food's getting hard to find. The days are getting shorter and it's getting colder and, and, uh, to, to, uh, uh, emphasize that, you know, whenever he's speaking, uh, he is,
00:14:09
Speaker
you know making little puffs of steam with his breath and stuff. you know it's it's It's cold. It's not freezing this morning, but it's cold. The days are getting shorter and it's getting colder. The badger moles we've been breeding aren't growing fast enough to be a good source of food, at least not yet. And we don't know how the parents would react. The things are smart. They don't like it when we discipline the cubs. Can't imagine what they do if we did something worse. Anyway, last time I was out, I found some tracks. They look kind of like bear tracks. But of course, that's highly unlikely. But it's most likely some kind of predator. um And if there's a predator, there must be some prey around that they're eating. So I say, we track these things, see what they are. If we can eat them, great. If we can follow them to whatever their food source is, even better. um And then he he motions over to a little lean-to that's been built.
00:15:03
Speaker
next to the plastic wall um where the scattered gear belonging to the settlement is stored, also known as the Armory, as the survivors have been calling it. But it's literally just a pile of junk. And it says, all right, gear up. We move out in an hour.
00:15:23
Speaker
OK. I think I'm good. All right. I'll randomly pick through the random adventuring gear and see what's available. Okay, taking like a backpack with like all that stuff so Yeah, you've got your your You know backpack or whatever you're you're carrying your gear and there's also like the ah badger mole which is carrying stuff You know, he's got saddlebags or bags or whatever um And then the camp can spare five days of rations for each of you um I'll be keeping track of that
00:16:03
Speaker
ah On my my little my interactions Five days of rations now He's art. So Mattias already expects that it will probably take more than five days to catch up with these things. So um We're gonna have to y'all will have to search for rations and And basically, I've got mechanics for that, a mechanic for that. Is it George? Huh? You said you got a mechanic for that, and I said his name's George. Yeah, sure. All right. So um you guys gather your stuff ah and either load it into your backpack or onto onto the Badger Mole. And um you all set out for the day.
00:16:58
Speaker
uh the sun's been up for about an hour so you guys are setting out out shortly brook our because right now there's only about six hours of daylight in the day in the day the days have been growing shorter and shorter and based on the predictions of one of the astronomers who survived within a month you'll barely have an hour maybe two of daylight each day if the train continues the way it's been going right now it's cold but not cold enough for snow the most believe it will get there soon on the plus side The carnivorous plants have gone dormant, making excursions much easier. um The camp can only spare enough rations for five days. So unless you find more food along the way, you all have to come back in five days. Thankfully, fresh water is plentiful. um So you won't need to worry about water while you're in this foresty jungle area. ah Still should boil your water, you know, whatever, but I'm not going to roll do that kind of stuff.
00:17:57
Speaker
Roll for dysentery. You are half your true side of dysentery. Yes. I should do that. All right. So to start things out. You can trail all over again. Yeah. To start things out, I would like everyone to roll a survival roll, including Matthias. Let me bring him up.
00:18:29
Speaker
What are you rolling? Sorry. Survival. Survival. Survival. I am amused. I told you all this would be a lot of survival. Nobody took survival, which is just funny. It's very appropriate. It's very... I got a plus five. Yeah. The wisdom. So I didn't think I was going to need it. It's very appropriate for how this thing has been going. All right. So we've got three, a 20. Oh, is that a nat 20? No. Okay, close. A 20. no
00:18:59
Speaker
No. Oh, is he whispering his rolls? I've already died. Were you all able to see the NPCs roll? It survived in 10-10. Yeah, you rolled 10. All right. All right, so you guys set out for the day. It doesn't take long. Matias knows where the tracks begin, so you guys find the tracks. They are large and bear-like. For any of you who might have an idea of what that looks, probably only Frank. um But they are for Frank, you know these definitely aren't bear tracks, but they are bear-like.
00:19:41
Speaker
um ah So, you find the set of tracks, ah but after after spending the entire day following them, the trail goes cold. However, um at the end of the near the end of the day, you do discover a grove of a grove of mushrooms that Matthias has seen before, and knows them to be edible, giving you an extra night of rations. ah so ah and six So... Well, and you're subtracting today. I'm keeping track of the rations, don't worry. okay okay um
00:20:13
Speaker
Okay, so Rashes, were there something we needed to add? No, no. Okay. As the sun begins to go down... Oh, wait, wait. I forgot. We got to do this one also. Let's let's do a random roll now. Where's my random roll thingamabobber?
00:20:33
Speaker
See if anything fun happens. Nope, that's not the one.
00:20:44
Speaker
I haven't ever done a wilderness travel game, so I don't know if this is going to take a long time for us to do or if it's going to be very quick. So Ron, I went through and picked some random adventure gear if you want to look at it and just make sure I'm OK to take that stuff. OK. Just a sling, some silk rope, fishing tackle, soap, shovel, a sack, and some pittance. That all sounds fine. um All right. I need to roll a d50.
00:21:18
Speaker
Let's see if anything interesting happens. On 11, number 11, Adtorch.
00:21:28
Speaker
OK, just a random thing that happens. So um before before you guys set up camp for the day, as you all are traveling along, um you are you come across a massive flower, which lets off a vile stench like decomposing flesh.
Encounter with the Strange Flower
00:21:48
Speaker
Well, we got these back at Earth. um that That's it. It doesn't do anything to you. That's just the random thing you saw during the day. um There is wildlife up in the trees and stuff like that. um However, nothing has come down to where you got but based on your survival checks. You weren't able to catch any wildlife, but you did find those mushrooms, which Matthias already knows is edible because he's he's
00:22:17
Speaker
He's harvested them before, thankfully. um
00:22:23
Speaker
Okay, so as the sun begins to go down, Matias calls for a halt and recommends you guys set up camp for the night.
Setting Up Camp and Night Watch
00:22:32
Speaker
So I think I gave you all bedrolls and stuff like that. I don't think I gave you tents. Necessarily. Yeah, I don't think I had a blanket from that. Well, you've got a bedroll. OK, so yeah. So yeah, the night is cold. ah And you guys um find a ah little like clearing or whatever to set up camp in. Do you all want to like set up um set up a fire or start a watch or anything like that? I would like to set up some basic traps.
00:23:13
Speaker
Okay. um For any game that might be out there. So like, or some trip lines or whatever you call them. Like deadfall traps, dead squizzards. Yeah, okay. yeah Yeah, he's thinking about doing hunting traps. Okay, give me a survival check. Survival roll. A 19, aren't you? So you set up some snares. That's the word, snare.
00:23:44
Speaker
And technically, it snares on a deadfall, but yeah. Well, a deadfall is... What is a deadfall then? It uses a heavy weight. It's a trap, but if the thing touches the bait, it activates a stick which drops a rock on it and just smashes it. Oh, okay, that works too. But snares work as well. Snares, deadfalls, I'm sure you do a combination of things. Yeah, you set up some things. um I would also like to wrap a rope around, I've got 50 feet of rope, so hopefully I can wrap it around the majority of the clearing. okay Just around the edge, about ankle to knee height. Okay, but are you guys going to set up a fire? It is a cold night. um's Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and build a fire.
00:24:36
Speaker
OK, you guys are all equipped with lighters, so you should be able to start a fire fairly easily. Also burning hands that I don't know about yet. um Some of you have magic that could possibly start a fire even easier. All right. Lucky's actually, whenever we're setting up the fire, he's going to roll up his sleeve. And he's been tinkering with his old oh this old Earth wristwatch and making a special drinkable substance. Well, he failed at making something drinkable, because it was struck that it was because it was just too strong. But he ah fiddles with ah with the minute hand of his watch, and he cant and he casts a little gout of fire shoots out of his watch, and he casts a fireball. Nice. All right. And yeah, so you easily light the fire. um Let me move you, or let me get you onto here.
00:25:34
Speaker
And I'll need y'all to tell me if you're able to see, because I've got some dynamic lighting going on, which I'll turn off if it doesn't work. um And Jaden, your character has night vision. So I need to set yours up to automatically be able to see. um Avalon, is there a night vision option? Night vision, yes. Boom. So you have the... 120 feet. Yeah, that's a long way. Nice. OK, 120. I could tint the color of your vision. Do it. What color do you want? Make it gray. Gray? All right, let's see. All right, I'm going to move you all over. We'll see what that looks like.
00:26:22
Speaker
and
00:26:25
Speaker
Oh, that's cool. And the rest of you should only be able to see the campfire area, right?
00:26:35
Speaker
That's about all I can say. Yeah, how big did I make this camp light? Maps.
00:26:45
Speaker
The campfire should be, yeah, it's not very bright. um It should only be about 30 feet. I'm going to make that a little bit bigger. Just because I realized that was a little bit more to it, save.
00:27:03
Speaker
All right, so of course, you guys have flashlights, which you are free to tell me you're using, um in which case I will also give you some vision.
00:27:18
Speaker
So are we doing are we doing a watch? I don't know, are you? I think we would. Yeah.
00:27:33
Speaker
Oh, did, uh, what's his book to come out with us? Mattias. Yeah, I guess im ti sorry um I'm not going to do directional lights. I'll look give you all a 360 field of view because we're using round tokens. um All right, that's lucky. That's that's Bill. Oh, I don't see a name on it. OK. Yeah, Bill didn't create a um he hasn't It's done a picture or anything, so... Nor have I. Hey! Yeah, that's why yours is the little druid token. I should just look at awesome space characters. um It's the vibe. And Blake. I'm basically giving y'all platforms.
00:28:28
Speaker
And I think this will work.
00:28:35
Speaker
So each of your tokens, if you move off into the darkness where you can't see your, yeah, okay, I'm just messing with bills. It looks like bills should work. um Yeah. So you guys should have a short range light emanating from you. And then of course, Jayden has his night vision. Were you able to see what i' how I see it? I can't see, well, because yours is so big, um you can probably see most of the map. I think I see the whole map, unless there's more. I don't think there is. Yeah, you can see most of the map. Does the campfire area look any different? It looks normal. And then it gets like gray once it's out of the range of the light.
00:29:21
Speaker
good It's like perfect. You should be able to see my character now. What? You should be able to see the picture of my character now. Well, I will fix your token later, because I have a token making. like show it to everybody, I love it. Oh. He's saying, do it now.
00:29:43
Speaker
Wait, now. Oh. Mr. DM. Nice. Oh, God. That's pretty good. The more handsome version of Nidal Thornberry. For real? um Are y'all setting up a watch or anything? ah Yeah. hundred percent Yeah, all right who's who's going on watch first How long is the night considered? i For simplicity's sake we'll say it's a 24-hour day even though that doesn't make sense um and ah The day right now is only six hours long so 18 hours of night Shit yeah
00:30:33
Speaker
Eventually, y'all are going to have to start traveling by night, oh no matter what. So light will be a um an issue that y'all have to figure out in the future. So sidebar. We when we played the quiet year, we said that we didn't really have a day or night. We just had so it was all like a sunset. Yes, it was always in like a twilight state. Now it's getting dark and your twilight state only lasts for six hours a day. Okay.
00:31:08
Speaker
Jay has to restart his computer. Why is everyone having computer issues tonight? ah Did I make a token for this dude? I didn't. It is all internet. What? Mine is all internet. Yeah. I need to grab a random soldier looking guy for a Matthias token soldier.
00:31:45
Speaker
Let's see here. You just enjoy watching this guy get stabbed to death the first time? What?
00:31:56
Speaker
Fucking, y'all still hear me? Yes. Yeah. My bad. And Taus is watching that new orphan movie in the background.
00:32:11
Speaker
All right. Sorry, my computer blue screened for some reason. That's fine.
00:32:27
Speaker
so
00:32:32
Speaker
I'm just making this. Well, your wife is an aggressive woman. Yeah, I know. She just killed this man like it was So is mine. She killed him because it was nothing. Yeah. OK, so who wants to take first watch?
00:32:55
Speaker
i i guess I can this one. There's five of you, and it's a long night.
00:33:04
Speaker
ah how long do we need for arrest like what eight hours Technically need eight hours, yes. yeah because i mean however long the night last doesn't change the fact we've only got enough rat for five days so so
00:33:23
Speaker
ah er Who wants to go ahead and take a take watch this this first night? Because I mean, there's the four of us plus guy Mateus, I think was his name. Oh, and a badger mole. Let me bring over a badger mole here. oh Yeah, I was meaning to ask, do they make like a lot of noise and stuff? They are not stealthy, for sure. But they also, I mean, they they don't like and intent, they just are. I don't know, they make. Chittering voices or whatever, and they're they're pretty loud if they decide to start burrowing.
00:34:06
Speaker
yeah Are they skittish like horses? Well, these have been relatively trained, but they yeah, I would say they're. They're probably more less skittish than horses.
00:34:21
Speaker
Because they are technically, um I guess, apex is the right word, but they are predators. Like, they they you know they're not afraid of things. They hunt things. Like, you know, they originally- Like to say, if something was sneaking up on us, ah sneaking up in the dark and stuff, it would either run away or bow up and be ready to fire, right? I mean, presumably it would react.
00:34:50
Speaker
In some way. Ron, was I able to wrap the entire campsite enclosure area with the rope? However much 50 feet of rope would wrap, yeah.
00:35:07
Speaker
Anybody else bring rope? Everyone has got rope. I assumed I would because I had backpack and mandatory. Yeah, you would need more than 50 feet for this. You'd probably need about like 100 feet. Yeah. and Anybody else want to cough up 50 feet or up to... If I have 50 feet, you're more than welcome to have it. I think I gave all of you some rope, did I? It'd be on your your sheet if I did. um I might not have.
00:35:43
Speaker
That's why i ah I made sure to grab some from the random stuff. is i Yeah, I don't think I did.
00:35:54
Speaker
Well, you create some sort of alarm system. OK, so in the areas not covered by the rope, I'd like to partially bury some of those javelins I have. OK.
00:36:13
Speaker
um to make a semi-defensive perimeter. Nice. All right, so you do that. And you guys have set up your defenses. You've set up a watch. um Who's taking first watch? Agents of the old. I can. Are you all going to um do the full night, or are you going to try and set out before daylight? Like the full night? How many hours does night last a long time? um But we need to get eight hours of sleep. Yeah, you need at least eight hours. Yeah. Well, then we should probably do spans of two hours of watch and then over a span of like 14 hours. OK. All right. so
00:37:09
Speaker
Jayden, you are taking the first watch. Give me a perception check. OK. Oh,
00:37:28
Speaker
oh that is a natural one.
Night Watch Attack by Carnivorous Plants
00:37:31
Speaker
I can literally see everything. Two hours past. looking And then who's doing the second watch? I can do the second watch. ah far yeah And then it's um it is. ah By the way, everybody, Jaden wrote a natural one, though. Which one are you, Riker? It's it's about your time for the watch and. Hmm. Would you have been asleep over these two hours, Riker?
00:38:05
Speaker
Probably not. I'm probably just like staring in the fire, more like. So after about two hours go by, you you start to realize, oh, it's it's my turn. um I guess you guys probably have time telling devices. I don't see why you wouldn't have that. I'm dying for those nights. Ooh, can it be please be canon that we have the fallout watch, like wrist watch things? Oh, yes. I know, you want the pit boys? Y'all have? Yeah, can we have a Pip-Boy, please? Okay. I'll say you have one Pip-Boy for the group. Damn it! There's no Wi-Fi. So, ah it it does have a- The groupers on watch has it? Yeah, it has basic functions like um timekeeping and notepads and things like that. and And, you know, like an encyclopedia from Earth and things like that. like
00:39:00
Speaker
There's probably some music, things like that. And it can be solar charged. It is becoming problematic. um Also, you'll have like batteries and things like that. um But all of that is limited. And then with the limited sunlight, using things more than needed are um you're rationing your power, basically. But ah after after two hours, um Avalon, you are startled awake by the sound of the Pip-Boy alarm. Because you fell asleep within that one. Nice. I am startled. yes Do I do another perception? No, it's your watch is over. OK. Yeah, so I guess I wander over and kind of like look at you where you're still like waking up um and I just like hold out my hand for the Pip-Boy. I like.
00:39:57
Speaker
Fumble with it and it like falls onto the ground And I just like got dead really quietly and I scooped out And I like put it on and then immediately I turn on diamond radio station and wander off Oh my god, Diamond City radio station. That's a good one Fortunately that there's no radio signals. So nothing plays damn it I was gonna dance But it does probably have there's probably some songs saved on there. You know, it's basically an iPod, you know. Oh, yeah. um It's basically what's his bucket? It's somehow more so I don't watch Marvel movies. I'm sorry. OK. Star Wars, it's like star killers. Yes, they are not star killer. That's Star Wars.
00:40:53
Speaker
It's basically somehow both more advanced and less advanced than today's cell phones. Okay, so go ahead and make your perception check.
00:41:08
Speaker
21, all right. ah So towards the end of your second hour, um you... ah Let me roll a check for this thingy here. Because this thingy, why aren't you letting me select this? am i and so Oh, I'm on the ruler. Let me see if Badgermole notices anything. um What's his perception?
00:41:40
Speaker
16, so plus 6.
00:41:52
Speaker
Wow, Badgermoles. God damn. Yeah. um So the first thing you probably notice is that the Badgermole stirs and wakes up and um starts sniffing around on the ground. um And that's when you also feel a familiar trimmer in the ground. um
00:42:18
Speaker
familiar because this is what it feels like before the carnivorous plants attack. Are there any carnivorous trees around us?
00:42:30
Speaker
um There are lots of dormant carnivorous trees around you. um the home Most of the trees in the forest, well, I'm saying not all of them, but lots of the trees in the forest are carnivorous. ah Too much to avoid them like probably every other tree. um But it's not the trees that are usually the problem. The trees are stationary. It's the roots that are the problem. um And let's see. Where are you? OK.
00:43:04
Speaker
Because you are aware. um Everyone else, I guess, go ahead and give me a perception, but a disadvantage, because you're not on watch.
00:43:16
Speaker
oh that you're struggling dude and did you take in like a nine quill or something that I guess that you rolled two net ones and I just rolled a 19 as the curse transferred to you jayden I guess yes for this game okay one west is a pretty he's pretty oblivious so riker
00:43:45
Speaker
You definitely ah notice this just before it happens. Nobody else does. But you you feel the trembling that signifies plant roots are about to burst out of the ground and attack. What do you do?
00:44:01
Speaker
um Ooh, can I try ah that one staircase thing? Staircase thing? Yeah, let me see if I can put. Oh, there it goes. um So the at the higher levers, that's what I put in as a DC. Okay.
00:44:27
Speaker
Can I try to roll for that? um Yes. Yeah. What's that, a wisdom save? Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:45
Speaker
um It's a tree, no way it passes its wisdom save. So I will wisdom save that. Damn it. OK, what happens if so? I don't know what wisdom save you want. Well, DC 14 does that. Is that the spell save? I guess so. And the stairs we want to figure. Unless if you want to like figure this out later and like make it more of like a legit spell.
00:45:16
Speaker
with either one. I'm curious what this thing what the spell does, because I want to read. What does the spell do specifically? and i assume So it basically um allowing the person to conjure them to into a moving basically just creates a ah staircase out of thin air. But you failed, so the staircase fails. All right, so you try to create the staircase. It doesn't work. And you have minus two on all roles for the rest of the day. So I just put that in there because that's that's something that I put in there just because I wanted to talk to you about it. But I didn't know if that was like something that we're actually going to do. OK. That has nothing to do with the lore that I found on it. It's literally and something I just threw in. OK. I'll just say it fails for now, I guess. OK.
00:46:16
Speaker
So you try to make the stairs to get away. um Unfortunately, you did not choose to say, I alert the party. um So ah you're the only one who gets the surprise round. A root burst from the ground to attack you. um
00:46:39
Speaker
Let's see. and de saving for Let me see. No, it's an attack. um
00:46:49
Speaker
And OK, well, it's going to miss. I assume you have higher AC than six. Yes, I vote 14. OK, then yeah, a root does burst from the ground and attack you, um but it it it misses. You were aware enough to try to dodge it. Also, um roots are going to attack some other people. ah
00:47:13
Speaker
Let me move them into position here.
00:47:18
Speaker
Oh, the Badger Mole is also aware. um So basically, those of you who are not aware are going to have disadvantage on your... um or the the root is going to have advantage against you this turn on its attack. So let me pop these roots.
00:47:41
Speaker
All right, two of them are attacking the Badger Mole. Okay.
00:47:52
Speaker
Let's do two real quick. Where where is Bill? I don't see Bill's. Oh, Bill, where are you? Bill? Yeah, Bill's next to you. All right. carlon That is attacking. I'll just go around the circle. Let's see. We've got. ah Avalon gets attacked. OK, so both of those attacks, I think, miss the badger mole. Yeah. um Luckily, these things aren't super. That's going to miss. Next up is ah Blake, you get attacked. A root burst out of the ground next to you. Does a 15 hit?
00:48:37
Speaker
Frank? Oh, me. Yeah. Sorry, you said Blake, and I wasn't cast. Mr. Light Castle. uh yeah 15 it does it meet it beats uh that is correct beats yeah and could be so ah it deals one damage and you are now grappled um so yeah take one damage and you're now grappled by the roots uh and then last up is oh Matthias and Lucky uh so Matthias let's see if he gets hit
00:49:17
Speaker
No. How much of a reach do these things have? They don't have a very long reach, but what you do know is that they can suck back under the ground and pop up somewhere else. ah Bill, I'm gonna assume a 19 hits. Yeah. Do you like zero health or a single? I got hit yeah hit for zero or damage. That's pretty intense. I don't know if I can handle that. You are grappled.
00:49:49
Speaker
I want to grapple. There's also another root. Let's see which this other root attacks because I forgot to move it into position. um
00:50:02
Speaker
One, two, three, four, five, so okay, it's three roots are attacking the Badger Mole, so. Damn Badger Mole. I haven't been attacked either. You haven't? No, I missed you. Oh, yeah perfect. There's a lot of roots ah We'll do initiative in a second badger mole. That's what is your AC badger mole His AC is 17 thanks to natural armor. So he's fine. Oh Oh, no, actually he's not fine. That was an 18 The roots don't deal a lot of damage, but there's a lot of them um He the badger mole is also grappled because he's been pierced by the root
00:50:46
Speaker
But Badger Mole is going to try and break free of grapple because he was aware. Damn it, Badger Mole. Not break free. So he is grappled. All right, now we roll for initiative.
00:51:05
Speaker
um Nice. Now, you what you guys do know from experience is somewhere. Oh, hold on. Let me bring up the initiative tracker before you roll. Too late. OK, I'll just add y'alls. Let's see. One thing y'all do know um from experience is that if you find the tree, um you can ah kill all the vines. um If you kill the tree. Yes, that was one of my questions was, do we know how far a single tree can extend its roots?
00:51:45
Speaker
From what y'all can tell, it can be like 100 feet. Ooh. Damn. free And how many trees are there? um There's a lot of trees around you, but you do know that usually the carnivorous ones move. um If you get close, they will attack you with your branches. Are the trees that I see the ones you're talking about? you The little things that you see are the carnivorous, ah they are the roots. No, like outside the the circle of the light, like those tree-like shapes. ah There should not be any visible tree-like other than the the map itself. um There is an invisible token um somewhere.
00:52:34
Speaker
All right. Find number one. Or not fine. Did I call them vines? I did. It's their roots.
00:52:49
Speaker
I could just make them all go once, but it's too late. I've already begun this process.
00:53:02
Speaker
And yet, I don't remember if I did. And then the three around the badger mole.
00:53:21
Speaker
And oh, and the Badger Mole. Can't forget him.
00:53:32
Speaker
Now, you do know it is possible also to exhaust, like, to so destroy enough of the vines that the tree won't be able to attack anymore as well. OK, I think that's everybody. Does everyone else have all of you all enrolled? I rolled, but I wasn't added. I rolled 14. OK, so I need to add. I'm pretty sure I rolled, but I don't. I went i hit the sub submit, but I don't think it actually went through. it Did it register? No, I didn't. Oh, zero. Fuck me. That was a good roll. 14.
00:54:16
Speaker
um no
00:54:22
Speaker
Nice three fourteens. Did it add you, Frank? Yeah, Blake is in there. Lucky. Oh, wait. Lucky. Shouldn't have had a 14. That was Riker. Or wait, did you roll Bill? Yeah, I just I i just I just roll I just rolled. There might be another. Well, this might be the ah first with the first one I rolled. this So then we might be expecting another initiative role here in a minute. I believe all of know all of you are in there. except for this guy here.
00:54:58
Speaker
OK, now you should all be in there. Now I'll put it in order. So first up is Avalon. There is a a root attacking you right now. OK. Everyone else is being attacked. You can also make a perception check if you want to try to spot the tree itself. Right now or on our turn? I was thinking of gaining all my powers in this moment, but I feel like... Yeah, you can use them whenever you want. Yeah, I figured it'd probably be best to have them not in this fight. um Hey, Ron. My initiative is zero. Oh, I thought I fixed that.
00:55:45
Speaker
14. B14.
00:55:53
Speaker
Okay. It looks like it's fixed now. Yeah.
00:56:04
Speaker
You're burning Kansas. Yeah. Okay. Oh, let me get off of GM mode. It needs to make a deck save.
00:56:21
Speaker
Yep, it fails. That was a nat one, minus one. So yeah, if you deal damage, so go ahead and click the damage thingy. Does it show spell description? Or do I do this? um no
00:56:40
Speaker
I guess just type in the 3D, do it, roll 3D6. this
00:56:56
Speaker
three, unfortunately. Did I do that right? um Because D6 should be together or not? Oh, yeah, no, you didn't do that right.
00:57:13
Speaker
OK, now I got a three. That is unless I'm still doing it wrong. You're doing slash R3D6 with no spaces, right? Does it look that way usually? I don't know. You're doing something wrong. Yeah. Oh, it's all together. Yeah.
00:57:33
Speaker
I think it's literally just rolling free. Yeah. You have to do slash r space 3d6. OK. With no spaces. There it is. OK. You burn enhance this thing. just Just to remind you, Burning Hands is a first level spell, so you're you're using up one of your spell slots to do that.
00:58:05
Speaker
But you Burning Hands this thing, and yeah, this vine engulfs in flames. Nine damage is... ah It definitely... ah You guys know that fire is highly effective against these plants, because they're plants. um So yeah, this vine burst into flames and is dead. Nice. You killed one of the vines.
00:58:31
Speaker
How do you feel about killing a vine? Just another Tuesday. All right, are you going to stand where you are or move? I'm going to help Blink Light Castle. And you can also make a perception check if you want. OK, I'll do that too, then. a perception perception which is zero four god your roles okay yeah that is funny though 420 the badger mole the badger mole is going to do a multi attack uh the can buy it once or attack twice it's going to attack twice with its claws slashing at two separate vines i like how it's 420 and it's in green and the six at the end now
00:59:23
Speaker
So it hits one of the vines for five slashing damage. OK, so Badger Mode turns and slashes at one of the vines. um and And yeah, that's its turn. It's going to keep fighting. It's not worried about these things. Ryker, you're up.
00:59:45
Speaker
Ryker being. um Yeah. I'm going to go ahead and Eldridge Blast my vine. Alright. 17 will definitely hit.
01:00:03
Speaker
How much damage that does Eldridge? Eldridge, doesn't Eldridge Blast always hit though? No, it's an attack roll. Oh. It's a magic bullet always hits. Sorry, magic missile. Magic bullet. OK. Magic missile. yeah Magic missile always hits, but it's like each one only does like a deep bore. You deal 10 damage to this thing. um
01:00:34
Speaker
Oh, 10 damage, that's enough to kill it. Boom, it's dead. I'm going to make a perception check to see if I can see the tree.
01:00:46
Speaker
Good that check
Battle with the Carnivorous Tree
01:00:47
Speaker
does, by the way, it depends on your distance from the tree, so. How difficult. and
01:00:56
Speaker
i mean Man, you almost got the exact same role I did. Nobody can see tonight. For real. Well, considering I can't see in the dark, unlike him. Even though I could literally. Go ahead and. Is this fine, just chill in there? Yeah. OK, none of these things don't have reach, though. They don't have reach, but you do know they can suck back onto the ground and pop up somewhere else. OK, I'm going to go ahead and.
01:01:34
Speaker
I'm to attempt to assist the Badger Mole next round. OK. um
01:01:42
Speaker
All right, never mind, I was going to say where you are on the battlefield changes the difficulty of the spot check. But you rolled a one, so it doesn't matter. I can clear. I rolled a four.
01:02:00
Speaker
OK. And the carnivorous find that's up next is actually the one that you just killed, so delete that. um Lucky, your turn.
01:02:14
Speaker
All right, and because it succeeded last time, I'm restrained, right? ah Yes, you're grappled. So grappled, let me see what that means. It's a DC 12 to get out. Grapple. And. A creature's speed becomes zero when grappled. um Yeah, you basically, you can move. It does not say you get a disadvantage from attack rolls. I thought you did, but I guess not. ah You just can't move. All right, so... All right, you know what? I'm going to take my turn to go ahead and try to break out. What is that, a strength check at athletics or? Strength. Yeah, strength saving throw. ah Okay.
01:03:09
Speaker
wow Oh, Jesus. As a yeah that is a non-natural one. You don't break. What is going on this game? Do you have it like, like let's just get out. I told you. I can't honestly. Harder. OK. For real. It's like I've. I can't even honestly say that that's out of the out of the ordinary. thing That 19 year old earlier, that wasn't that was like amazing. Well, so you can't move.
01:03:40
Speaker
um You are welcome to do a perception check if you want Please see better than we do Let's see if I can perceive Nice and 19 Wow So that's just enough based on your distance um ah Lucky you spot so ah something twitching near Riker. um By twitching, I mean like one of the trees twitching near Riker.
01:04:19
Speaker
um I guess I will ping where it is. In that general vicinity. This general vicinity. May I make a a ah may i make a an announcement?
01:04:38
Speaker
Yeah, an announcement. Thank you. That works. You may, yes. I'm going to shout out to Riker. Riker, it's a ahead of you to your left.
01:04:50
Speaker
Can I look over? um um but I guess since it's been pointed out, ah anyone who looks can notice the subtle vibrations of the tree. um and Riker now that you've seen it you realize you are within striking range um And yeah of the leaves I was just trying to help my badger mo Luckily, it's not its turn yet. It is Matthias. He's gonna fight ah hope I'm not on tokens mail me in law
01:05:34
Speaker
Oh, man, I did not give this guy. I did not stat this guy out at all. Let me give random attack. I don't know. ah Can I drag and drop something? He's going to have. He seems like he'd have like an assault rifle. He would, but I feel like that wouldn't be overpowered. That's something you would use against a plant or against not against the vine anyway. Is he have like a torch? He'll have a hand axe. He's got a lighter. But he's going to try and chop it with an axe. Let me just drop that. Oh, am I not allowed? Oh, good. It does work. Sweet. What do you roll? A 10. What's their AC? I think that might be enough, actually. They're not very armored.
01:06:23
Speaker
eight AC is 9, so he hits. What? 1d6. Oh, that's because it thinks it's a crit. No, he deals two damage. um he He hacks at it with an axe, deals some damage. The vine does not screech because it doesn't have a ah vocal chords. um
01:06:49
Speaker
Because like. Yeah. a Blake Lightcastle, you are up. Really good. oh Like Buzz Lightyear. I hate it already.
01:07:04
Speaker
but
01:07:07
Speaker
I've got really bad strength, so I don't think I'm even trying to strength out of this. OK. You can't attack. You just can't move. If you were hit. Were you hit? Yeah, you were. So Hunter's Mark would be an action, right? Yes. I think that's a bonus action, right? action
01:07:32
Speaker
Hunter's Mark. Because Hunter's Mark is also. ah Yes, it's a bonus action. Up to two creatures within five feet. pack the tree <unk> why You choose a creature you see within range. spellionss You deal an extra 1d6 damage to the target whenever you hit it with a weapon attack and you have advantage on any wisdom.
01:08:10
Speaker
Basically, you deal bonus damage every time you attack your marked creature. And once it's dead, you can swap it to another creature. OK. So I want to cast, I need to put that in the description of the spell because it doesn't show it. I might cast Hunter's Mark on the vine that's attacking me. I don't know why it's rolling. It does show it. Yeah.
01:08:38
Speaker
Oops, I clicked that twice. All right. You cast what, Hunter's Mark? Yeah. Yeah, I cast it on the the arm, the thing that's gripped onto to me. I want to do produce.
01:09:00
Speaker
Produce flame. 18 definitely hits.
01:09:08
Speaker
ah to fire damage, but it's more effective than you expect.
01:09:15
Speaker
It doesn't kill it, though. um Yeah, the the vine w rise in agony, if plants can feel agony. up Next up is the tree. The tree is going to lash out at the person who is within its 10 foot reach. slamming at you with a branch. ah Does a 20. Damn. Yeah. ah This tree, it's only CR two. Oh, my gosh. That's a lot of damage. that That downs me. Yeah, so you are. You are down. That downs anybody. Yeah, that was a lot of damage. Those are some good rolls. That's a lot of damage.
01:10:06
Speaker
I know I'd see our two because it's stationary. um But yeah, it deals a lot of damage. So you are knocked unconscious. ah And we'll have to make death saving throws. um Next. ah The one the vine attacking lucky is going to. um
01:10:33
Speaker
This is what it would actually do, Bill. Make an attack of an opportunity attack. A melee attack against this vine, because it's about to move. um shit should joe Should I use my hand axe? Yeah. All right.
01:10:51
Speaker
Sex does not hit, unfortunately. Of course it fucking doesn't. Always when I need something. The vine sucks underground, disappears.
01:11:04
Speaker
And that's its turn. All right, next is the one attacking Mr. Light Castle.
01:11:14
Speaker
And it is going to continue to attack you. Luckily, they don't deal a ton of damage. Does the 12 hit? It does not. All right, it deals no damage. Next. ah ah The vine that's attacking Matthias. Attacks again. Enrolls an 18, so that hits. It deals two damage and he is now grappled.
01:11:51
Speaker
Next is this one's dead. Okay, next up is one of the ones attacking the Badger.
01:12:02
Speaker
Attack. Miss the Badger attacked yet. ah The Badger did attack. He dealt damage to one of the vines. um Did not kill it, unfortunately.
01:12:18
Speaker
OK, is it just OK? All three of the Badger ones are attacking. All right, carnivorous. Fine, um the things lash out at the Badger trying to pierce it and. suck the flesh out of its body, but none of it pierce its furry hide. Avalon, you're up. AVALAN V.O. All right. So this one's still alive right here, right? Yes. Ooh, I could also, well.
01:12:53
Speaker
Can my lightning reach the tree? ah ah Which spell are you talking about? Lightning lure. Let's see. Lightning lure. Its range is 15. 15 feet, so probably not. OK. Am I able to move in an attack? Yeah. um And then each square is one foot. But when you move, i feet because you're within melee range of of a thing, it can make an attack of opportunity against you. That's true.
01:13:31
Speaker
OK, well, I'll just kill this one real quick. um
01:13:37
Speaker
And lightning lures a cantrip, so it won't be. OK. So yeah, I'll do that to this little one right here. OK. Do it. Three damage, and it needs to make a strength save. What does it do again? You create a lash of lightning energy that strikes at one creature of your choice that you can see within 15 feet, it must succeed against a strength save or be pulled in a line toward you and then take lightning damage. OK, so it's going to take three lightning damage, and it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not because it's already next to you. I guess it'll get right in front of you. Let's see. I doubt it's going to succeed. Nope. So I'll say it gets pulled
01:14:31
Speaker
over here. holy Pull it out of the ground further, and it takes three damage. It's not dead.
01:14:42
Speaker
um And then since that's a cantrip, am I able to use a weapon as well? No. Okay. Grip counts as an action. Okay. And then I'll try to run in this direction, and then I guess to have to deal with the consequences. Yeah, it's definitely going to attack you as you do that. um
01:15:04
Speaker
14 hits.
01:15:07
Speaker
ah So you can't run because it's you're now grappled and take one damage. OK. So now I'm stuck. Yeah. And took one damage, yeah. ah Badger Mole. Badger Mole is going to multi attack again. Let's see if it does better this time. ah Two claw attacks. Both of those are going to hit. First one does six damage. ah
01:15:38
Speaker
So it finishes off this one. It slashes its claws at one of them. And then the second one takes four damage. And damage is the other one. All right. ah Riker, you got to make a death saving throw.
01:16:03
Speaker
Go. Hit it roll. Oh, there it is. If that's a pass. All right. But not a nat 20, so you don't just jump up. Lucky you're up.
01:16:21
Speaker
Bill. You're muted. OK, can you all hear me now? Yes. Cool, cool. Am I still grappled? ah No. Sweet. Then in that case, let me go ahead and reevaluate where I am on the map.
01:16:45
Speaker
All right, I am going to, so Lucky is going to charge up next to Riker here. Okay. Actually, you know what, before I do that,
01:17:06
Speaker
First off, I've got to actually move around. oh Okay, Lucky's gonna pick gonna tip pick up his fucking assault rifle. He's gonna shoot the tree. Nice, okay. Gonna get a cantrip for right now. Something needs to feel some real steel. Sir, lead.
01:17:27
Speaker
e Plastic. but Hold on, give me a second, give me a second. Oh gods. Okay. Be good to me. Be good to me. Matt Mercer, be with me. Will we? Fuck off.
Lucky's Assault Rifle Burst
01:17:41
Speaker
Hold on. What your rifle does the automatic stuff. Let me, let me check the rules because you could probably unload on it. Um, Holy he shit. I actually forgot about that. Yeah. Uh, I forgot about it too. i don't ah but Just so I, just so we're clear, I don't want to go full auto on this thing. I want to try to be, I want to try to be, uh,
01:18:04
Speaker
and Yeah, more like precise pin shots as opposed to. um As opposed to accuracy by volume. OK, so you've got the. Full auto if a firearm has the full auto property, you can replace one or more of your attacks with the use of any of the automatic firearm features which I am about to copy paste into Discord. um
01:18:35
Speaker
Little sense of f***ing stupid. wide dark you sway from side to side as you fire away sweeping a coneshaped area with bullets um focus fire you spray a large area of bullets you target a ten foot cube ah or burst fire you target one creature with a short burst of automatic fire and make an attack roll with a minus five penalty if it hits roll a d three and add a number of the weapons normal di to that role Um, so you can do a short burst, uh, that, that would be the only one useful spray and cube isn't going to be the useful. But if you want to do a burst fire, basically it's a minus five to your attack role, but you could potentially deal one to three extra damage dice of damage. You know what? I know my, my roles are historically ass, but you know what? Aim small, miss small. Life's short.
01:19:35
Speaker
ah I'm going to do some burst fire action. All right, three burst. Are as well a 12 does hit. So roll a D3.
01:19:53
Speaker
I did not think that a 12 would hit. Yeah, it's a tree. Yeah, but it's it's it's got like it's it's trying to suck the flesh out of ah That's true. Oh, shit, actually. E3. OK, what is it? I type in for that? R slash Oh, slash R. R and then D3. Or 1D3, but. Oh. It doesn't say how many bullets it uses. Oh, wait. um Unrecognized. It uses three pieces of ammunition here. I'll just do it.
01:20:38
Speaker
D3. OK, so I get an extra damage die on that. Oh yeah, so go and roll your damage and then roll an extra. What is the assault rifle do? D10. D10, so roll an extra D10. o
01:21:01
Speaker
OK. this are one
01:21:08
Speaker
What fucking damn it? There should be a space between the R and the. The next number.
01:21:18
Speaker
OK. There we go, OK, so a total of 22 damage. Nice, you burst fire at this tree and also subtract three ammunition. Oh, righty.
01:21:36
Speaker
drop the food of and trace Alright, and with that attack I'm going to advance closer to be by Riker's side.
01:21:51
Speaker
sad Keeping the tree firmly in my sights ready to shoot again if I have to. Alright, I got some but you know I've got If it comes back around in my turn, I got something else in mind anyway, so. So you unload on that tree and then move forward to stand guard over your fallen friend. um Matthias is up, he's going to try and fight his his vine again.
01:22:27
Speaker
16 hits. Five damage. Did he deal damage last time? I didn't subtract it apparently. I thought he did. Scroll up, scroll up. A lot of scrolling. I feel like he dealt like three damage or something. He dealt two damage, yeah. So.
01:22:48
Speaker
Five and so this thing should be minus. He has not killed his vine yet. um Come on, dude. He might get better once I stat him out, but You know, everyone has a dagger in this game, so he's going to dual wield attack this thing. He's going to attack with his dagger also. What is this, Dex? OK.
01:23:21
Speaker
So he dual wields and attacks with a dagger, dealing an extra five damage. Nice. OK, so he kills his vine. And I'll add a dagger to him.
01:23:33
Speaker
Uh, so Matthias dual wields, and then he is also going to advance five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 to the other side of Riker there. Um, Blake like castle.
01:23:51
Speaker
Um, I'm still grappled. Yeah. Uh, yes, you haven't broken free. Okay. or um You are not grappled anymore because the vine got tugged away from you. um ah can't Why is this thing tripping out like this? um I want to go 5 and 15.
01:24:27
Speaker
Actually, no. Hold on. I want to go... I'll see your whatnot.
01:24:34
Speaker
Yes. Five. Ten. Ten. I've got a spell here called Good Berries.
01:25:05
Speaker
Good berries are good. Well, I'm trying to think about the healing Hayden's character. um I think here wounds are probably a better option. Yes, it would be. OK, I'm just going to take the attack of opportunity or the attack of I am at minus five hit points. Well, if you are any healing immediately bumps you up to zero and then you get the full healing. That's how it works in fifth edition. Which one is the guy that's down? Wait, do I have to be on top? Sorry, we had symbols. I'm gonna um'm going to add symbols.
01:25:50
Speaker
Yeah, that's a good symbol for downed. Okay, and so I'm going to cast Cure Wounds.
01:26:01
Speaker
I'm going to add this goal because it means I'm not dead, but like. Yeah, almost fucking dead.
01:26:11
Speaker
That's not how I do it. I need to go both over here to cure wounds, don't I? Yeah, once. Do you know roughly how much ah health these trees have? They have a decent amount of health, but you also know they are stationary. The trees. Um, Hayden, you're back up to six HP.
01:26:38
Speaker
Your wounds. Of course, it's the tree's turn next. True.
Tree's Vicious Counterattack
01:26:46
Speaker
Uh, the tree, um, it is the tree's turn and there's a new person in range named Lucky. Let's see if Lucky is lucky. Slam.
01:27:01
Speaker
Oh my god, this tree. OK. So Lucky seems to actually have my hand. Yeah, I'm down. All right. Now Lucky's down. yeah So much for my plan. Yep. Oh, and now we're up to the vine that disappeared, um which actually is a amine. The vine.
01:27:33
Speaker
Well, i won't I won't let it do that. It was originally right here. So the vine reappears next to um Hayden and is going to attack. It would need to move again to appear next to Bill. So it bursts through the ground, rolls a 19 to hit. ah Zero damage, but ah Riker is now grappled.
01:28:02
Speaker
um Another vine. Is this the dead one? Nope, this is not the dead one. The vine next to Avalon, ah which was just lightning lured, is going to attack the person who lightninged it. I'm rolling insane. The vine deals one damage and you're grappled. and I'm going to put a mark on you for grappled. We'll say this little sad guy. Can I do the dexterity save? ah You can do a strength save on your turn to break free. This vine is dead. So next up, this vine is alive. It's attacking the the Badger Mole. 11 does not hit, so that vine fails. Next up, this vine is also alive, but damaged. It attacks the Badger Mole and fails.
01:29:04
Speaker
and this vine is dead, delete him. Okay. Avalon, you're up. You are grappled. So who's back? but and hey Sad sad guy. Okay. Can I use Burning Hands again? and You can. It'll use up your second spell slot. And then once I rest? Once you complete a long rest, you get them back. the The vine is looking pretty ragged.
01:29:34
Speaker
OK. I guess I'll use my mostly decorative Katana. Hey, that's a roll.
01:29:46
Speaker
um
01:29:51
Speaker
I did one. Five slashing damage. That's enough. You cut this vine in half, finishing it off. All right. You are no longer. gra decorative gaana I'm to go five, 10, 15, 20. I don't recommend moving. I don't recommend moving that close. That is it's an attack range. Okay. Well, then I'll, so far it has down two of us in one go. ah True.
01:30:29
Speaker
And then I'm unable to do anything else. ah No, because you didn't attack. If you have a bonus action. I don't know if any of his spells are bonus actions.
01:30:46
Speaker
Am I able to cook? No, you would need to arrest to do that. Uh, you you could have been cooking, though. I will say that. um Just wait. You just. You just leave to kick your ass. You weren't. He just leans over and takes a quick spoonful of soup and then goes back to the fight. You weren't. You weren't cooking. Well, he can make a healing food, um but you weren't cooking because you were rolling natural ones on your perception because you were asleep. So um the badger mole is going to try and finish off these two vines that are attacking it.
01:31:23
Speaker
Um, he's grappled. He's not trying to break free. Uh, attack number one and two, uh, both hits. So vine number one takes, is that, nope, it's got that vine is still up. He's just not dealing enough damage. All right. He's going to try and finish off this little vine here. He does. He finishes off the vine. He's got one more around him. Um, Grappled, so but he can't move. Riker, you are ah awake and conscious. Yep, I'm awake. And grappled, yes. I look at a tree and I go, what? Yeah, I look at the tree and go, what stupid fucking moon did we get ourselves on trapped onto? And then I cast Hex as a bonus action. Nice.
01:32:18
Speaker
And then? On what, the tree? On the tree. OK. There's a 14 hit. New deal extra damage. Cool. um A 14 does hit, yeah. OK. So 4 plus 1d6. Let me roll a 1d6 real quick. Five fucking damage. Great. Thanks, dice gods. All right. The tree wriggles in agony. Wait, didn't someone didn't someone put another curse on this? No, but Blake, your previous Blake, your previous hunters mark was killed so you can move it to any other target on my turn on your turn. Yes.
01:33:14
Speaker
so ah Lucky, make a death saving throw. Didn't he have two going? Who? Didn't he have two? No, that's the weird thing. Like the description on it shows two, but the actual spell only does one in like within 30 feet. Yeah, I think you can only have one Hunter's Mark. It says it's in the description of the spell. It says up to two creatures within five feet. I'm not sure why it says that. That is odd. I have to look into that. But lucky make that say. Oh, you did 14 passes. He did 14. Yeah. Mathias is going to. um I guess he's going to move like here and what gun would he have? He just probably an assault rifle type guy.
01:34:13
Speaker
um He's going to do the same thing Bill did. ah So let me look at your sheet there. Salt rifle. back roll and take but Attack roll roll minus five. Right, OK.
01:34:35
Speaker
like that What's his dex? Three.
01:34:45
Speaker
Well, that makes it a d20 minus one.
01:34:51
Speaker
But let's see if he hits because it's got a low AC. Uh, wow. I wrote in that one. Okay. Well, uh, natural zero, Ron, that's, that's metal. He burst fires at the tree. He's only 15 feet away and he somehow misses. He's like, fuck. Blake, your album. All of a sudden, they're very much so down to luck. You just hear them go, oi. He wastes three bullets. So denise ah the the good berries, you said, are is a ah spell that uses a spell slot. And it's a an action, right? Yes. OK.
01:35:45
Speaker
um For a bonus action, could I possibly... Actually, can I delay my turn until after the tree goes? Yes. I would like to do that. What would you delay it for?
01:36:05
Speaker
um I'm gonna cast Goodberry and then shove it into the downed Lucky's mouth.
01:36:18
Speaker
OK, well, um Riker, you didn't move. So and you are conscious. Well, I was grappled. Oh, that's right. You were grappled. Well, unfortunately, that means the tree's going after you again. Luckily, Goodberry can be create several berries. Yep. Let's see if I roll good or bad. Let's see. Oh, gosh, 16.
Struggles in the First Battle
01:36:43
Speaker
It hits. First chest still hits. All right. All right. right um image You're downing down again. Fucking shit. I didn't think that this first battle was going to be so hard, but y'all happen to be going in close range of the tree. ah Oh. My turn? No, it's this fine's turn. I delayed until after the tree. Oh, yeah. OK. Well, then go. You want to move my token in the lineup?
01:37:16
Speaker
um I cast Goodberry, which I don't think is a thing that I cast.
Healing with Goodberry Spell
01:37:21
Speaker
It's just I pull out a handful of berries and ah chain I pull out 10 berries and I chant over them and they're infused with the feather magic of this world. I shove one into Lucky's mouth and with my bonus action I want to attempt to pull him out of range of the tree. You do it to Lucky? ah Yeah, that's the guy right here, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's him. OK. Bill, you get back up to 1 HP, and ah Frank, give me a strength check, or athletics, whatever's better. Well, athletics.
Vines Exploit Unconscious Characters
01:38:10
Speaker
Is that enough to give him move him 1 square? ah I mean, it's less than 10. I'm like, because I was just going to put a difficulty 10, which is your like easiest difficulty. I'm not very athletic. Yeah, you you do not. mean I attempt to pull him back. And I just kind of struggle. And that's it. OK. Good job, mate. Come on. sir So the vines, their standard protocol.
01:38:45
Speaker
is to attack the nearest downed person. um So this vine is going to attack. And because he's unconscious, it has advantage. Let's see if it hits. Of course, sometimes they deal dear with zero damage. I assume a 15 hits. Yeah, it hits. So you don't actually take three damage, you just fail a death save.
01:39:15
Speaker
thank and This fine's dead. This fine is going to be dead. Well, he failed one death save. You have to fail three before you're dead dead.
01:39:31
Speaker
um This fine's going to attack the Badger Mole. Miss. ah Next up, that vine's dead. Not very many, like only two live vines left. um Avalon, you're up. Um, I'm going to do this and then I'm probably going to have to go to bed.
Burning Hands Spell and Final Attack
01:39:52
Speaker
Adel's almost over. Yeah. Um, I'm going to shoot him with my, the tree with my double barrel shotgun um both bullets. You should use burning hands on it. Oh, well I don't have anymore. You should use burning hands. Bell slots per day. You have three. You get two.
01:40:15
Speaker
What was the second spell you did? You did a cantrip. Yeah, you did the cantrip. Yeah, you have one more Burning Hands. Well, then I'll do that.
01:40:28
Speaker
11 fire damage. So that's double, because it's a plant. It's not dead, but this tree is looking bad. Does Burning Hands, let me show spell description. Does it ignite flammable? The fire ignites any flammable object. so The tree is now also on fire and will take more damage on its turn. And now it's fucking fire. All right. Badger Mole, unless you're going to move or something. um OK, Badger Mole, going to try and finish off this this last vine it's fighting. Multi-attack. Both of them hit. OK.
01:41:10
Speaker
Oh, that thinks it's a crit. OK, 9 and 7.
Combat Ends and Rest Preparations
01:41:13
Speaker
OK, that's enough. The Badger Mole finishes off its last vine,
01:41:21
Speaker
um which means he's no longer grappled. And I guess he's going to, I don't know, start. Well, sure, he'll move in range of the tree. These things hate trees. 5, 10, 15, 20. Yeah, it's going to move up. do They go like a natural defense towards these things and say like evolved on the same planet. He's just got a high AC and he does have trimmer since, which is why it knew that the vines were under and it started pulling at the ground. um
01:41:53
Speaker
OK, Riker, i you're down, right? Yeah, um death save. Yeah. Get a nat 20. Do it. Oh, that's another fail. Fail, so that's two fails. Are we going to have a death on the first day? Lucky, um, you had a good berry shoved into your mouth, so you are conscious. Oh, my turn. Okay. You know what? I am going to follow Dayton's example. I am going to, I am going to fiddle with my watch again and I'm going to shoot another gout of fire at it and I'm going to cast Firebolt. Okay.
01:42:38
Speaker
23 hits. Yeah, it does. That is something stupid. Give me a second. yeah ah hear the welcome but I That makes 18. You blast to the tree and and the the tree writhes in agony as it burns to a crisp. And as that happens, this final vine blumps over dead because its host tree is dead. um
01:43:09
Speaker
And somebody can ah well combats over which means And you can now stabilize dying characters um Frank you want to give them them some good bear the rest of your good berries Or at least one luckily you guys can take a long rest after this yeah that's shook is this this all happened in like It's only been four hours yeah this yeah so yeah we can't take a long rest actually so um yeah i guess we will end it for tonight but um uh yeah we end with uh you guys tending to the wounds of um the two dying people uh stabilizing uh riker uh so that he has to be saved otherwise his people really would uh have been
01:44:05
Speaker
genocided um and ah a a much less peaceful sleep. Matthias says, I wonder if the fire was enough to warm the area and wake the tree up. And he goes and puts out the fire. um And you guys will have a long cold night, but no plants will attack you over the night. And since the long rest, all of you get fully healed and get your spells back and stuff. Um, but, uh, we are going to call it a night. So Jaden, if you're still awake, um, I was your, your dungeon master tonight from
