[00:00:00] Presents A Dungeons & Dragons Campaign

[00:01:00] Nothing but the book.

[00:01:02] Find the fucking book then.

[00:01:04] It's not going to be in here.

[00:01:06] It's not going to be in here.

[00:01:08] Like a hell of a potion on you.

[00:01:10] Maybe. I'm pretty sure you had quite a spare the day.

[00:01:12] That works too.

[00:01:14] He was sped.

[00:01:16] But he's still zero right?

[00:01:18] Yep. Yeah, I've got a standard health potion.

[00:01:20] Gonna at least give you that.

[00:01:22] Okay, so I'm up at one.

[00:01:24] How that works?

[00:01:26] No, it's...

[00:01:28] No, I assumed I'm up at one and then if I take my potion, it's 2D4.

[00:01:32] No, I'm not sped. I'm just going to stay alive.

[00:01:34] Oh, okay.

[00:01:36] So you can roll 2D4 plus 1.

[00:01:38] Got it. It's your potion.

[00:01:40] 2D4 plus 4.

[00:01:42] Plus 4, sorry.

[00:01:44] So 8.

[00:01:46] Better than zero. Now you can heal yourself.

[00:01:48] I'm also just trying to almost have my head wound.

[00:01:52] We build sucks for you.

[00:01:54] You build a lot of damage on that first hit.

[00:01:56] Yep.

[00:01:58] I took more on the...

[00:02:00] Yeah, third and fourth hit.

[00:02:02] Because you took that crit.

[00:02:04] Okay.

[00:02:06] So you guys want to look for this thing while I'm healing myself?

[00:02:10] Um, any other obviously dangerous statues in the room?

[00:02:14] Nope. It was a statue on something like a pedestal.

[00:02:18] It doesn't specifically mention one now.

[00:02:20] Okay.

[00:02:22] There are no open books on the desk.

[00:02:24] No.

[00:02:26] Is there anything else decorative besides the bookshelves?

[00:02:28] Tapestries, murals...

[00:02:30] There's a sand table you said, right?

[00:02:32] Yeah.

[00:02:34] Luke, just check out the sand table.

[00:02:36] I'm going to cast sand.

[00:02:38] Care wounds on myself if that's all right, Jeff.

[00:02:40] What's that?

[00:02:42] I'm going to cast care wounds on myself once I'm doing it.

[00:02:44] At a fifth level.

[00:02:46] Yeah. It's along your mark enough.

[00:02:48] You're fine.

[00:02:50] Is this bellcasting modifier just the wisdom modifier?

[00:03:02] Yes, of course.

[00:03:04] It does not include proficiency, correct?

[00:03:06] Nope.

[00:03:08] Any...

[00:03:10] Nothing else out of the ordinary, though, Jeff.

[00:03:12] I mean there's all kinds of stuff out of the ordinary.

[00:03:14] Well, sure.

[00:03:16] There's no obvious sign that there is another room or...

[00:03:18] No. Okay.

[00:03:19] No obvious sign that there is like...

[00:03:21] I don't know. I just imagine a big portal hanging on the wall or something like that, nothing like that.

[00:03:25] Nothing obvious. Okay.

[00:03:27] Plus nothing in the drawers that the hand opened before the golem thing.

[00:03:31] No.

[00:03:33] Did he give us a description of what this book would be like?

[00:03:35] I don't think he asked.

[00:03:37] Yeah, that's fair.

[00:03:39] Kind of expected to see it on a plinth somewhere.

[00:03:41] Yeah.

[00:03:43] Might be glowing or have a giant yellow exclamation point on it.

[00:03:45] It was plus 33 if you cared Jeff.

[00:03:47] Okay.

[00:03:49] Because I feel like it would be somewhere secure and nothing here looks like it's under glass or...

[00:03:55] ...and a protective bubble.

[00:03:57] Or he hides it in plant site so that it's harder to find.

[00:03:59] She's an archmage.

[00:04:01] Any thoughts, Grin?

[00:04:03] We could look for secret doors.

[00:04:05] I would agree.

[00:04:07] Here just starts knocking on walls.

[00:04:09] Whether you're next to him.

[00:04:11] Boom!

[00:04:13] What do you want us to roll like a search?

[00:04:15] Investigation.

[00:04:17] Investigation.

[00:04:19] Investigation.

[00:04:21] Investigation.

[00:04:23] I thought the same thing.

[00:04:25] I'd give you perception too.

[00:04:27] Perception as well.

[00:04:29] It's a little better.

[00:04:31] It's a 17 on perception.

[00:04:33] Can I work in our counter out of you?

[00:04:35] No.

[00:04:37] Let's work and try.

[00:04:39] 14 on investigation.

[00:04:41] Perception.

[00:04:43] What? 25.

[00:04:44] You do find a secret door.

[00:04:46] Detect magic!

[00:04:48] Yes.

[00:04:50] The answer is yes.

[00:04:52] Kind.

[00:04:54] Several.

[00:04:56] It's gonna go boom.

[00:04:58] Several ways.

[00:05:00] Actually, you don't see any...

[00:05:04] ...you don't see evocation.

[00:05:06] You don't see things like that.

[00:05:08] We don't see traps.

[00:05:10] We see just stuff.

[00:05:12] It could be...

[00:05:14] The school's a magic or important wizard.

[00:05:16] That's why I asked.

[00:05:18] You said traps.

[00:05:20] Anything could be a trap.

[00:05:22] It doesn't have to be something that goes boom.

[00:05:24] It could be something that teleports me to 30 feet in the sky.

[00:05:26] Awesome.

[00:05:28] That is an adventure I want to run for DCC sometimes.

[00:05:30] Some of the grim tooth stuff.

[00:05:32] Just traps on traps.

[00:05:34] You'd see conjuration.

[00:05:36] Interesting.

[00:05:38] Conjuration on the door.

[00:05:40] Secret in the area of the secret door.

[00:05:42] Yes.

[00:05:44] Cast a spell magic a bunch of times.

[00:05:46] What else to do?

[00:05:48] How many times do I need to cast it?

[00:05:50] Well, it's not how many times you need to cast it.

[00:05:52] It's how effectively you cast it.

[00:05:54] So say you cast a spell magic.

[00:05:56] Then Jeff will ask you to roll.

[00:05:58] That's a question if you roll high enough to dispel it.

[00:06:00] You're rolling intelligence check.

[00:06:02] Sorry.

[00:06:04] You're rolling intelligence check.

[00:06:06] 16 on the die.

[00:06:08] 21.

[00:06:09] I'm not sure if it's a, an aura go out.

[00:06:11] Or he does.

[00:06:13] We good.

[00:06:15] There's still several more on the door.

[00:06:19] There's all kinds of auras all over the place.

[00:06:23] I don't care about all of the places.

[00:06:25] I care about the secret door.

[00:06:27] Okay. Sure.

[00:06:29] That's what we're looking at.

[00:06:31] What?

[00:06:33] I was just going to ask if it's possible to see how many potential layers there are on the door.

[00:06:37] You can see several different conjuration or is on the door.

[00:06:41] Several is not a number.

[00:06:43] How many times can I get ready for an aura?

[00:06:45] That's what I'm trying to figure out.

[00:06:47] I've got to cast this thing so many times.

[00:06:49] You see two main ones.

[00:06:51] Two main ones.

[00:06:53] So was that one that went out?

[00:06:55] Yes. Okay.

[00:06:57] 19.

[00:06:59] Okay. That goes out.

[00:07:01] That's two.

[00:07:03] Or does it give a duration for...

[00:07:05] Distantaneous?

[00:07:07] Dispel magic.

[00:07:09] Distance instantaneous.

[00:07:11] Okay.

[00:07:13] After a few seconds, one of those pops back.

[00:07:15] Hmm.

[00:07:17] Hmm.

[00:07:19] With it being seen that it popped back.

[00:07:21] Right.

[00:07:23] Because I don't know what I be able to make an arcana check to understand why it popped back.

[00:07:27] Or is that just an obvious thing?

[00:07:29] Would I as a weird no that?

[00:07:31] Something is a permanent fixture of this building.

[00:07:35] And it's not going away.

[00:07:37] Gaia.

[00:07:39] You can suppress it with dispel magic.

[00:07:41] But it's not going to just go away.

[00:07:43] Okay. That was your health.

[00:07:45] Is it unlocked?

[00:07:47] Do we know?

[00:07:49] I don't know.

[00:07:51] Yeah, you found it. You can figure out how to open it.

[00:07:53] All right.

[00:07:55] I can cast a dispel magic also to try and dispel one of the big bads that's there and then you just go.

[00:07:59] Yeah, let's see what happens.

[00:08:01] I mean the iron giant can open the door.

[00:08:03] It's not what you're holding the weapon right?

[00:08:07] I sort of look around because it's congeration.

[00:08:09] It could be a couple different things but yeah.

[00:08:11] Okay.

[00:08:13] So I think we're about to be surrounded. Maybe not.

[00:08:15] But we'll see.

[00:08:17] Well, I open the door.

[00:08:19] Make a wisdom save, I believe.

[00:08:21] Oh, real good at those.

[00:08:23] That's good roll though.

[00:08:25] 19 on a wisdom save.

[00:08:27] We're about to be attacked by a bit of an evil spirit and beyond where she was, you see a portal.

[00:08:31] Neat like disappearing dinner or like she went through the portal

[00:08:35] Similar to when you have banished things but not quite the same.

[00:08:39] Would an archonic check give me more detailed information or no?

[00:08:43] It depends on how high you roll.

[00:08:47] Not high enough.

[00:08:49] Nope.

[00:08:51] 15?

[00:08:53] Nope.

[00:08:55] just the fact that she vanished. No. Cool. If you draw, if you, if I go on above 20, sure, but

[00:09:03] can I cast sending? Sure. And I'm just going to try and send. Before I do that, would I know that

[00:09:09] if it's extra planar, would it still get to somebody? I don't know. Read the spell.

[00:09:13] Sending had belief has to be on the same plane existence.

[00:09:24] No, it's a percentage chance. Five percent chance that it doesn't arrive. I thought it was greater than that.

[00:09:30] Okay. You're going to try to send her Kira? Yeah and ask if she's okay.

[00:09:35] Before we all walk into a potential trap, I want you send to the person whose room this is

[00:09:40] and say, hey, I would turn this shit off. Okay, I could do that. So then I would send, well,

[00:09:45] would it travel? Gromp is a 100% chance of success if he chooses to respond. Okay.

[00:09:52] If I've been teleported off this plane of existence, it is a 95% chance you're able to contact me.

[00:09:57] But then you wouldn't be able to actually. Yeah. No, I can respond. What would I say? Yeah.

[00:10:02] Yeah. So I would send a gromp. Hey, bro, found the secret door.

[00:10:13] Person? Oh, fuck you. There you go. A person who opened, disappeared, portal behind.

[00:10:21] They okay? Question mark. How do we turn this off? So I still have three words and I'm not

[00:10:31] going to use them. Please help. Where is banks? Oh, where is book? Perfect.

[00:10:40] Shit. What is it? About five, about five or the word so you can back is laughing.

[00:10:50] You don't check the gym through the portal. Okay. That's it. Check the gym. See the GYM?

[00:10:59] That is all you get. Yeah. GEM? Yeah. I'm just trying to think of the order. I'm just remembering

[00:11:04] the order in which I asked my questions. So how do you turn this off? You don't. They okay. He

[00:11:09] didn't answer or he said check the gym. Is there a gym laying around here? Make a perception check.

[00:11:15] It's not a good one. God damn it. 10. No. 11. Yes, no.

[00:11:25] No. I'm like, which one is it? Yes or no? Hey, grin. Look for a gym. The gym could be inside the portal.

[00:11:34] It could be. Class of world very well. She is also very hurt. No. Show my... Let's keep going.

[00:11:42] I think it's through the portal. Let's just walk there. Before we go anywhere, I'm going to heal

[00:11:45] the person that Gromfluence wants us to bring back. No.

[00:11:48] Okay. I'll mark it. I'm casting it at third level.

[00:11:57] So add 15 health back to her. She looks much better.

[00:12:04] Did you say that she did not see it find a gym? No, she didn't. Okay. I walked through the portal.

[00:12:11] Same. Me too. Each of you find yourself in a hazy corridor. Like our own corridors or together?

[00:12:23] Not together. Cool. Walk down the corridor. Okay. Make an intelligence check.

[00:12:29] I think that's all. Yeah, there's an intelligence check. 15. Okay.

[00:12:38] Not a 15. I'm assuming you're walking down the corridor.

[00:12:43] Yeah, I mean my first thought would be to look at it as if it's a illusion.

[00:12:47] But I don't know if that's what this roll is for. That is a crit fill.

[00:12:51] Okay. What would you guys like to do? Find the book.

[00:12:55] Help me.

[00:12:57] Find Kira. I guess we're just walking then.

[00:13:01] Make an intelligence check. That dice is going into jail.

[00:13:06] Yep, same.

[00:13:10] It's a 17 for me. I got 19.

[00:13:15] You keep taking turns. You keep progressing down a corridor.

[00:13:20] What would you get? 19. 19. Lucas. Big old nine. Cool.

[00:13:25] Bare corridors. Bare.

[00:13:29] Grizly, polar, panda, leather chaps.

[00:13:34] Ooh. Yes, that guy.

[00:13:38] My traveling told him about old.

[00:13:40] Just big dudes named Steve and Earl were headed to show you a good dime.

[00:13:45] 28.

[00:13:47] It's a fact. I had a make sure.

[00:13:49] I can't stop.

[00:13:49] I can't stop.

[00:13:51] Did you get?

[00:13:53] I hadn't rolled yet. I was going to ask for an Arkana check.

[00:13:56] Make it.

[00:13:58] Fucking hell.

[00:13:58] No, no.

[00:14:00] I mean it's a 13.

[00:14:03] Another dice for the jail.

[00:14:05] You know you're in a maze spell and rolling that high on intelligence check should have gotten

[00:14:11] you out. There's something else here.

[00:14:14] There's something else that you need to do here and you need to figure out what it is.

[00:14:21] Troy's like fuck I've done this before.

[00:14:23] I say the password again.

[00:14:25] Nope.

[00:14:26] Oolie lolly, oolie golly what a day.

[00:14:29] What are you guys doing?

[00:14:30] I want to make another Arkana check.

[00:14:31] Go for it.

[00:14:31] I'm in a spell.

[00:14:33] I just can't hear you.

[00:14:33] You don't know that you're in a spell but

[00:14:35] I scream out.

[00:14:36] We're in a spell.

[00:14:38] I assume that I'm in a spell and I just haven't figured it out.

[00:14:40] That's a good assumption.

[00:14:42] Yep.

[00:14:44] That is a 22.

[00:14:48] I have 21 on Arkana.

[00:14:50] I don't know if it helps me out anymore.

[00:14:51] But 10.

[00:14:52] Okay.

[00:14:53] God you're an awesome wizard.

[00:14:55] I just keep rolling low.

[00:14:57] See, fuck I've rolled a double digit since I walked into this maze.

[00:15:01] This is a test.

[00:15:03] Only a high level spellcaster can get out of here.

[00:15:06] Well we're all fucked.

[00:15:09] You guys are pretty-

[00:15:09] The high level spellcaster.

[00:15:12] I would not consider myself a high level spellcaster.

[00:15:20] You are more than halfway up the tier.

[00:15:22] I got a third spell levels.

[00:15:24] Well, I got a 20 that too.

[00:15:26] No.

[00:15:27] Oh.

[00:15:29] My high spell levels three.

[00:15:30] Okay yeah.

[00:15:31] Well that's three out of five isn't it?

[00:15:35] They don't go above forever for for.

[00:15:37] Artificer.

[00:15:38] We still doing intelligence or we're doing Arkana now.

[00:15:40] What's the most-

[00:15:41] I don't care.

[00:15:41] What do you want to do?

[00:15:42] Yeah, three out of five.

[00:15:44] So.

[00:15:45] Can I cast locate creature on Kira?

[00:15:49] I don't know.

[00:15:50] You can.

[00:15:52] It's just described go for it.

[00:15:54] Describe or name a creature that is familiar to you since the direction

[00:15:57] that the creature is that their location within a thousand feet.

[00:16:01] The compass needle is spinning.

[00:16:03] I know I'm in a maze.

[00:16:05] What level spell is that?

[00:16:06] Oh, it's fourth level.

[00:16:07] Okay.

[00:16:10] I don't know what we're doing.

[00:16:21] land indie trying to be smarter than a maze.

[00:16:24] I wrote 21 of our conno.

[00:16:25] I don't care about anything.

[00:16:27] You're pretty sure you need to cast a high enough level spell which I probably

[00:16:30] don't have.

[00:16:32] You go up to third.

[00:16:32] You're pretty sure not.

[00:16:34] Yeah.

[00:16:34] Yeah.

[00:16:36] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:16:39] But did you say that my intelligence checks got me out of the maze or it should have oh should have but didn't yeah

[00:16:46] You know you know what you're in you know what should get you out and

[00:16:51] You it didn't there's something else that somebody has to do

[00:16:55] Shorter when you in at this insert the jeopardy music, please

[00:17:00] Is there a check that I can make I would assume with passing my icon of check. I have the same knowledge or no

[00:17:05] I'm I'm kind of building on each but each

[00:17:09] Roll you're all sitting here at the table. You're all getting the information

[00:17:12] I'm not going to make each one of you leave to answer the question right

[00:17:16] I'm able to make another check to get an insight on what level we would have to do or what needs to be done sure

[00:17:25] Higher than fourth, okay, that's okay. Well, I just I'm trying not to burn is it that simple? No, okay

[00:17:32] You wouldn't think so no were you holding up a dispel magic yeah, yeah

[00:17:37] I assumed it that was not it

[00:17:46] Any spell or just a specific spell that's the question

[00:17:51] Keep looking at Lucas even throwing it out just throwing it out there

[00:17:57] Making our counter check I

[00:17:59] Can't roll more than a single digit. Okay, I'm just gonna die in this maze

[00:18:03] Okay, I'm okay with how many rations do you have probably enough for a few days

[00:18:54] I'll talk to the glaive in the meantime while they try and figure things out to provide content for listeners who may need something okay

[00:19:00] Well this blows it does I got stuck underground once I don't want to do it again

[00:19:07] Shit

[00:19:09] Any suggestions or will you slowly watch me die in here

[00:19:15] How much air do you think he's in a gym the sort the the glaive is not that intelligent

[00:19:21] Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure what spells got us or what kind of trap got us 23 on our con

[00:19:27] Uh, you need to burn high enough level spell slot. It doesn't matter what spell

[00:19:32] You need to prove your power, but is that only going to save me?

[00:19:35] I don't know then I'll burn a fifth level spell slot casting up in sweet

[00:19:40] Fifth level is high enough everybody pops out in a lab

[00:19:46] Fifth level fireball and red guys pull out a pull out a magic car poo and I've had for a while and start poking

[00:19:53] I

[00:19:55] Forget about the harpoon is hard but she's still stuck is there a gym anywhere?

[00:20:00] Okay, when you get in here the thing that I wouldn't be worried about is the gym. It's what else is in here to fight you

[00:20:08] How is that conjuration?

[00:20:10] That's the ass blighter

[00:20:12] I

[00:20:14] Would have thought it would have been playing shift is

[00:20:17] Reguration really okay, all right fair enough well maize is also

[00:20:21] Con duration a level maze I could see conjuration. I was looking at maize because I was like I know I'm in a maze so that means I would know

[00:20:28] Potentially what that spell does this circular chamber is lit by magical candles and

[00:20:33] Floor in blackstone and graved and inlaid with magical diagrams in silver and gold a female drought stands in the center of

[00:20:41] Of a magic circle

[00:20:43] Hands resting on her hips behind her shelves and cabinets hold ceramic pots glass vials and other arcane paraphernalia

[00:20:51] While a tone bound in black leather lies open on a lectern

[00:20:55] It's pages covered in spidery glyphs the only exit appears to be the archway filled with a black void is there a gems

[00:21:05] You can search

[00:21:07] What is this individual doing?

[00:21:10] She is standing in a magic circle. Oh

[00:21:15] Jeff since they want to ask the question can you describe

[00:21:19] The look of this drought of this drought naked sweet worried

[00:21:27] Fucking pissed some mad eye

[00:21:35] You think you're lend a lady a hand

[00:21:39] I

[00:21:43] Like clank clank clank clank clank clank

[00:21:47] But I don't have metal hands so you know

[00:21:50] What's your like the sound of a stamping machine clon clon clon clon clon clon and who are we hoping what is it is it?

[00:21:56] Like that sex toy silicone just kind of what what are your hands made of

[00:22:03] If they're not metal, what are they I didn't I don't have metal hands. He's a new person

[00:22:08] Okay, I thought he meant the war for it didn't have metal hands

[00:22:12] Like what the fuck are they made of well technically a war for it doesn't have to be metal. Yeah

[00:22:18] What's your name

[00:22:22] Ilara

[00:22:24] Is that a name we've heard before we look at a main for I'm not there

[00:22:28] Ilara appreciate that

[00:22:31] Ilara I don't have a house

[00:22:33] So why is gromp got you in the old circle there because he's a bastard

[00:22:38] I got that part. I was helping him with research research send a summoning lost maybe

[00:22:45] No

[00:22:46] Anything in particular it's summoning

[00:22:49] Hmm, it wasn't for law though that would

[00:22:52] That would be foolish

[00:22:54] Didn't have anything to do with summoning all the other demon lords that to material playing did it?

[00:22:59] I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Yeah

[00:23:02] No, it definitely happened and the son of a bitch hasn't been back since to let me out you Paul other ritual

[00:23:08] No, I'm the research assistant and we'll to binding you here

[00:23:13] Mr. Wizard

[00:23:15] Circle she's standing in

[00:23:17] Lucas has an idea what that does so I'm asking questions. It's a magic circle

[00:23:21] Either keep something out or keep something in

[00:23:27] It's only there was a way to get rid of magic things

[00:23:32] I mean you you know that you could smudge the circle and break it. Oh

[00:23:38] It's really just like yes you break the circle and she's free

[00:23:42] Yeah, but is she gonna try to kill us? That's the question don't look at me right my only comment for this

[00:23:46] I said to Jeff already

[00:23:48] Is it a gym in here? I ask her

[00:23:53] What's it worth a

[00:23:55] Friends life to me getting out of that circle your life. I'd appreciate that let me out

[00:24:01] I'll show you where it is

[00:24:03] Not quite how does works we've deal with hand now

[00:24:07] Oh, no, I want to see this Lucas Paterson master negotiator

[00:24:13] Everybody else has give real quiet. I want to see how this goes

[00:24:17] Well, they're negotiating can you do me a favor and check and see if there's any magical traps on his memoir in the corner

[00:24:24] um

[00:24:26] Detect magic on the arch-maid

[00:24:31] Book is gonna be magical I didn't know if that you can see magic on the thing the pedestal it's on

[00:24:38] I'm sure everything in this room is magic the whole room is gonna blind you

[00:24:43] Just just a reminder

[00:24:45] Our expedient retreat requires my six level slot. Yeah, no, I know okay

[00:24:51] I'm going to the book okay

[00:24:53] What I would assume to be the grimoire

[00:24:55] That's a good guess. Okay, I'm gonna use my wild shape and add 40 hit points

[00:25:01] temporarily

[00:25:03] I thought you already had it on I did before you knocked me oh so when I oh yeah, it took out your

[00:25:10] Yeah, okay, so I'm just gonna add those and then I'm going to pick up the book. Okay, you pick up the book

[00:25:16] Okay cool cool. I'm fine with that

[00:25:19] Uh, are there like clothes laying around that would be hers? Oh, Lord

[00:25:23] I'll say

[00:25:26] You see that the book bears the title

[00:25:29] Zan Allial

[00:25:31] Which is Elvish and

[00:25:34] describes the rituals for summoning and binding powerful demons

[00:25:39] It's open to the chapter that talks about the summoning of demigor. Cool

[00:25:43] Go ahead and do that it's Elvish was that me like what is what does that title mean

[00:25:48] Uh, the book of eight the book of the eight

[00:25:51] Ah, I can also read that then

[00:25:54] Oh, which is my native language. We'll go ahead and tell bookmark

[00:25:57] In that particular one cool close book and put it in my pack unless I'm being told the wait a minute from no you

[00:26:05] No, no, no, okay

[00:26:11] Find out where that gyms at yet

[00:26:14] I haven't rolled a reception yet you guys were doing your thing so

[00:26:18] Oops

[00:26:20] I didn't want to interrupt. It's not a good

[00:26:23] Okay, after I've secured my 11th the girmars

[00:26:27] I'm going to start looking for the gym okay, so do I just need to make an investigation check

[00:26:32] Yeah, that's fine. I order our car. Arcona. Okay, and I will go or can I if I do I could do our con uh what I got in higher

[00:26:40] That's a 19 on the die so a 20 set

[00:26:43] Uh, you find various arcane components and ritual items around the workroom worth a thousand gold

[00:26:50] And a 6000 gold piece diamond also sits on a small stand top of workbench

[00:26:56] That would be the gym or a gem. Okay

[00:26:59] Uh, I will collect the other things then go take a closer look at the diamond

[00:27:04] You know, I'm sure at this point Kira is lighting up the glaive as a strobe

[00:27:10] And inside the diamond inside the diamond okay, that's awful bold of you to assume

[00:27:15] Yes, go either way. You can see your way inside get it out, but we do have her

[00:27:22] I gotta look this up. I've never actually gotten to use this spell

[00:27:26] You grab the gym what can I say except you're welcome

[00:27:31] What was it being held in something?

[00:27:33] What the gym that I found on like a pedestal guy. I feel pretty good about that 19

[00:27:39] Good enough apparently

[00:27:41] Well since bargaining to get you out uh based on the gym which I now have

[00:27:45] Why don't we go ahead and change that deal to how do we get our friend outside of the gym

[00:27:51] We may also be me. Oh yeah, you can 100% roll with our con on this

[00:27:58] Nat 20

[00:28:01] skill world uh that is an imprisonment spell

[00:28:06] Uh, I will remove my poff we can give it her

[00:28:09] La Laura. Oh, you're letting her out. I'm giving her the poff we do where if you're giving it to her you're breaking the circle

[00:28:17] Crossing the circle. Yes, that does make sense

[00:28:23] Then I'm not doing that yet. Okay

[00:28:25] Uh, you know that you can dispel that

[00:28:29] But only if it's cast with a ninth level slot so he's gonna have to do it for us

[00:28:35] None of us have the high-level spell

[00:28:37] I gotta keep my mouth shut

[00:28:39] You don't have to we are on a team playing this game together. Yeah, but he's not in the room

[00:28:44] It's characters not in the room to talk Cody is in the room like you met a gaming god forbid we ever do that

[00:28:52] Did you grab the gym I've been screaming my thoughts from the gym Jeff. Oh good knows as you won't die in there

[00:28:58] Nope

[00:29:01] It also makes sense as to why my locate creature didn't work yep because divination spells can't locate it perceive the target

[00:29:07] You also work on the same plane yet. Nice. I figured it was worth trying

[00:29:12] Actually got here before you guys did without casting a spell so in a lot of ways I won

[00:29:17] Sure

[00:29:18] Well, they've got us now

[00:29:20] Maybe we won't be trapped here for forever. We haven't picked it up yet

[00:29:25] Still sitting there. Oh, I thought he said he picked it up

[00:29:31] Why the hell are they just looking at us?

[00:29:34] I don't know can they not see us

[00:29:37] Hey, hey assholes

[00:29:39] She gets taking a hammer and a

[00:29:43] Piton just crack through it

[00:29:46] Pound away out and you don't see any dent. Yeah, but what's a barbarian gonna do in it?

[00:29:55] The the glaive is offering unhelpful constructive criticism

[00:29:59] Sure put your back into it you bitch shut up glaive

[00:30:04] Maybe if you give it more of a downward angle on the piton you'll get a better effect

[00:30:10] I saw that you're digging over the more. I saw the dwarves do this once to crack stone if I put a bunch of these in in a row

[00:30:17] Smash in our fingers. She's trying to say to fuck I cast sending again, okay

[00:30:23] Two gromp

[00:30:25] Good call

[00:30:26] Hey bro

[00:30:29] What specific condition did you set to release the target in your imprisonment spell?

[00:30:36] We're at the gym could use some help

[00:30:40] Freen someone thanks again

[00:30:46] See how much fun sending spells are

[00:30:49] Roll a percentage die that's true. Oh, so we're on different planes. Oh a thousand percent you are

[00:30:55] Well, I think it only had a 5% chance of failure

[00:30:59] Don't roll five or below

[00:31:03] 65 okay

[00:31:08] Hey bro, haha, haha, haha, haha you fucked goodbye

[00:31:15] Does it says you have to specify no I I understand

[00:31:19] You'll get one shot or can you continue to communicate back and forth for a while one shot 25 words

[00:31:25] Uh

[00:31:26] You get a message back. I bet it was the redhead

[00:31:31] Dip it in female drought blood

[00:31:34] Well now we got to kill this bitch

[00:31:37] It's the only female well and let's we get out and like prick the finger of the one who we're trying to save

[00:31:43] The one you're trying to save then then we meet Jesus surface self in disguise. Oh fuck. That's right

[00:31:50] So

[00:31:52] And that's what she said here for what's her name

[00:31:54] And Laura

[00:31:56] Alora

[00:31:57] Any chance that if we let you out we could have just a little bit of your blood

[00:32:02] I don't think that'll turn out the way you think it will without a fight

[00:32:05] I don't think that'll turn out the way you think it will you mean the drop is not as what you're saying

[00:32:09] You think he's just trying to

[00:32:11] Fuck us over into killing you

[00:32:14] No, I think if you need drought blood, you need to look elsewhere

[00:32:18] Oh, are you not a drought a magic circle wouldn't hold the drought

[00:32:22] Gaia what are you then you let me out. I'll like I'll tell you I'll tell you that we're defining hey bro

[00:32:32] What's with bitch in circle

[00:32:35] I don't have sending to do it. I might have a sinking suspicion

[00:32:38] We don't want to let her out guys. I keep feeling the same. It's probably gonna be an out to you

[00:32:43] Then say something like help us out how she's still alive. I don't know like how she's still alive magic

[00:32:50] No, no how is she still alive? She's a flush go if she were if she were a drought

[00:32:56] He hasn't been here in months. How is she still alive?

[00:33:00] Shader clothing beyond everything else

[00:33:02] There's a lot of things that she could be but anything we can fight is very far down on the list

[00:33:09] Yeah, I say we're lever and uh we go we got we got care we put it in a pocket take the gym a new hand touches the beacon

[00:33:19] Guys make me an intelligence check

[00:33:25] 17 on the die I have my guesses at who it is what it is

[00:33:31] Jeff gets card 22

[00:33:35] Okay

[00:33:36] Putting facts together

[00:33:39] You know that the one who guided Gromps ritual was law

[00:33:45] Right

[00:33:47] So odds are that his research assistant is somebody sent by law

[00:33:52] um

[00:33:54] You've you've dealt with enough demon shit in the last couple months

[00:33:58] You know what you know that the handmaidens of law is are your claw demons who can appear as drow cool

[00:34:05] Gotcha good to know so that's possibly your probably what this woman is is there pot?

[00:34:10] Is it possible that there's drought blood as a reagent in here?

[00:34:14] That's a good call I don't think about that

[00:34:16] I mean anything's possible

[00:34:19] Are you asking her preparedness role?

[00:34:22] Yeah, I would ask her

[00:34:25] I mean there's just there's also shelves of random shit. Yes

[00:34:29] You mind pointing it out you mind smudging that circle after you point it out that sounds like a very poor proposition for me

[00:34:38] Well, we're not gonna let her free so let's just find anything looks like blood

[00:34:44] As whole person been discussed

[00:34:46] It's not a person hold monster like I don't have any health spots that I anymore dude

[00:34:52] We're pretty well fucked up with this thing wakes up

[00:34:55] Yeah, it worked you're talking about yes. That's what he's talking about

[00:35:00] wait

[00:35:01] Clearly these guys have not read enough fantasy literature to where the circle gets smudged and then I believe the phrase is damn wizard

[00:35:08] I'll kill you

[00:35:11] Who did that that might have even been an salvator book somebody's got something trapped somewhere and the circle gets smudged accidentally from

[00:35:19] knocking something over and

[00:35:21] Damn wizard I'll kill you

[00:35:24] He's a Dresden file thing. I know that Dresden pissed off a demon that he that he summoned for information

[00:35:31] And it couldn't get out of the circle yeah, that was chance about that. Yeah

[00:35:37] You're giving us thoughts what you want

[00:35:40] I have

[00:35:43] Before after

[00:35:46] I mean if you're just gonna walk through the portal walk through the portal

[00:35:50] I was gonna look for a reagent instead of having them. I agree

[00:35:54] But chances are you're not gonna find it on your own. Yeah

[00:35:57] You could try that's your backup. You hope that works. Yeah, or you just fuck off

[00:36:02] We can deal in good faith

[00:36:07] I want out of here. You want your friend back

[00:36:09] Uh, I'm gonna I'd like to make an investigation rule sure go for him

[00:36:15] You read Elvis right? Mm-hmm. You might need your help if they're labeled things

[00:36:21] Uh, it's 18

[00:36:23] You find a rack of vials full of blood

[00:36:27] Okay, are there labels on any new

[00:36:30] What do I do? I'm just gonna start opening

[00:36:41] Opening them and pouring them over the gym

[00:36:45] Yeah, what's the worst it could happen

[00:36:47] Oh, I can make something up

[00:36:51] Oh is there anything that distinguishes drought but blood from other humanoids? It's green

[00:36:56] I

[00:36:57] Mean, I've seen it. I've drawn drought blood. I mean there it's it's red light yours. Okay

[00:37:04] She'll say I can tell it by taste anybody else

[00:37:08] Tell him it this fucking game. I like the chaos theory

[00:37:15] And I'll let you out if you help

[00:37:17] Yeah, and we're dealing in good faith sure pocket I smudged the circle. Okay, just let me taste bring

[00:37:24] I'll bring her the blood samples

[00:37:27] It's a choice

[00:37:31] Just let me

[00:37:33] Find the stats for the monster out

[00:37:37] Because I found blood samples and she can tell which ones drought by taste

[00:37:43] Can I not use an identify ritual on these things before you do that? Oh, I don't know

[00:37:48] They're not magical blood. They're just different kinds of blood. It doesn't have to be magical

[00:37:52] Do you understand how identify works?

[00:37:54] You can choose one object that you must touch throughout the cast in the spell if it is a magic or some other magic and viewed object

[00:38:01] You learn its properties does not have to be magic. No, it says you learn it if it is magic

[00:38:05] Yeah, no if it's magic or magic and viewed you learn its properties. Yeah, so these are vials of blood

[00:38:13] They're not magic. They're not magically imbued

[00:38:16] You choose one object that you must touch throughout the cast and in the spell period

[00:38:19] Okay, if it is magic. Yep. If it's magic then what happens Lucas? Yeah

[00:38:24] If that item happens to be magic you learn it shit right so then that means if it's not magic, you don't learn shit

[00:38:31] It's looking at a lack of blood. It's not magical Lucas. It's a spell to identify magical properties of items

[00:38:41] All right, let's put it in the fridge three times and that's what it says

[00:38:46] Later good

[00:38:49] Show walkover and dip a dainty little finger in in the first one taste it

[00:38:54] Just starts going down the line. Okay, and we're trusting her to give us the correct

[00:38:58] I've got a ready to action if she doesn't do what I ask okay, okay to run through the portal

[00:39:07] Sorry, I'm reading

[00:39:09] Okay, yeah, she'll she gets about eight down the line. She says that's the one

[00:39:14] I'll pick it up and put it over the stone. Okay, make a wisdom save

[00:39:19] As soon as you turn your back

[00:39:25] Not a not a great one and it's so it's just it's not saving through wisdom save right yeah, bless you bless your safe

[00:39:34] Right okay, so that is a

[00:41:49] You are always so worried about getting your goddamn rest

[00:41:53] If you're worried about your hill once and almost no spell slots left you got any no levels

[00:41:58] Rest yeah, you can level up uh

[00:42:02] We can't level up without resting. That's the rule

[00:42:05] Um then I guess fuck

[00:42:07] Because if you'd like to if you'd like to be nice to Jeff

[00:42:10] Oh, we are we're gonna try and do this thing now you could you could tell Jeff now as a cliffhanger to two weeks from now

[00:42:16] Or if you want to be a fuck you wait and put him on the spot in a couple weeks what I'm not I'm not gonna be a fuck

[00:42:21] I'm gonna do it now just because I think it's fun

[00:42:24] Um

[00:42:25] Oh for a niche out. Yeah, I say no

[00:42:29] I think it's fun

[00:42:30] The letter you wrote it's fun to wait

[00:42:32] Is that what we're doing? Yeah, and I think that's I think we're less likely to get anything

[00:42:37] That we want if we'd wait. Yes Jeff does reward clever play so if you see this is clever

[00:42:42] We might get a reward out of it. You already sent this no no

[00:42:46] Upon returning of on our way back preferably when

[00:42:51] What's his fuck face isn't around?

[00:42:53] Was there?

[00:42:54] Definitely not the great yeah because he can send silently right yes

[00:42:59] So he and I may have had a whispered conversation or whatever, but I wrote this that said to Shrutter that he needs to send this

[00:43:05] I'm gonna read what it says and then I'm going to say who it's two

[00:43:09] Okay, I'm gonna cast Cindy

[00:43:12] Hey bro

[00:43:13] We can stop the demon invasion by summoning all the lords to one place per two-drow wizards

[00:43:20] Need a good location thoughts question mark to Elminster

[00:43:25] Hmm figure out how you got two weeks to come up with an answer

[00:43:29] And we can cut it there. It's good. It's a good cliffey

[00:43:32] No, I can give you an answer

[00:43:35] Actually first give me a percentage role. Oh

[00:43:40] Oh, yeah, cuz he's definitely not off our plane

[00:43:43] You'd never know where he might be. Yeah. Oh, oh

[00:43:46] As long as it's not a double zero. He's all right. Yeah, you're good. Yeah, it was 90 something

[00:43:52] Uh

[00:43:53] What demon invasion

[00:43:56] Which two arch mages

[00:43:59] Just that he knows the demon invasion we've talked to him about demon lords to be not I thought we did

[00:44:06] We did when I know you

[00:44:10] Be as I have it's really don't use enough messages. That's that's the response you get you

[00:44:17] Met Elminster, but the the ghost type visions that you were getting of these people they were all out of time

[00:44:25] They were from different periods

[00:44:28] Okay, so we met a version

[00:44:31] Bummer, but we'd have to know him to be able to send to him

[00:44:35] Everybody knows who Elminster uh, I don't remember his last name

[00:44:40] But everybody knows who Elminster is well

[00:44:43] But don't you have to like no no the person and you have met it. That's what I'm saying. Yeah

[00:44:47] So that should at least like help that would he would be able to contact him

[00:44:52] Yeah in this time

[00:44:54] And he made I mean you may be right now what is tipping him off to go to Graven Hollow and find out about the demon invasion

[00:45:03] So to talk back we have to send again

[00:45:05] Yes, man do it again. I mean I would grump bonray

[00:45:10] Unleashed demon lords all demon lords all demon lords but lost grump are in the underdark

[00:45:19] Grump brought them to the underdark. I've got 15 more skip of the

[00:45:23] Also, does there in Devere?

[00:45:26] Yeah, they say

[00:45:27] Visited yeah, does there in severe Devere other mage I wouldn't say that he

[00:45:33] We we're we name to two known mages. Okay like

[00:45:38] And then you just need to tell him where we met him. We met in Graven Hollow. I'm orland

[00:45:45] I'm Erlin

[00:45:47] Have a nice day. What's what uh what year is it?

[00:45:51] Uh, I don't know or is the assumption that I'm talking to him and at today's day you were talking to him present

[00:45:59] But we talked to him. We talked to him. He hasn't been to Graven Hollow yet. P.S. I forgot at the beginning Heybro

[00:46:04] P.S. I forgot at the beginning hey bro had to be one too many

[00:46:10] I forgot at the beginning hey, don't you know, no, we'll just get rid of uh

[00:46:15] I

[00:46:16] P.S. I have beginning for got Heybro

[00:46:18] Yeah

[00:46:20] I

[00:46:22] Grump is a dick

[00:46:25] Viseran should be dead but is a liar

[00:46:31] Not enough

[00:46:33] Enough information will check out Graven Hollow

[00:46:38] somewhere

[00:46:40] Away from bystanders

[00:46:43] Wait, should we meet him in Graven Hollow now? No, we already did. No, I mean now

[00:46:47] Yeah, we might future him now him doesn't know who the fuck we are. That's what I'm saying

[00:46:51] Should we now go to Graven Hollow to meet him there? Okay, we're still recording. I couldn't see it behind Troy's head

[00:46:56] He did

[00:46:58] I think that's good for now we can pick up here. Okay

[00:47:01] You're going to get the the talisman next time

[00:47:06] I need to know where you're planning to set it off so that I could prep that

[00:47:11] in your base

[00:47:13] Problem is that's what we're trying to figure out I think bassless can turn demon lords into stone probably not

[00:47:19] We need to confirm whether or not the maze engine will kill them because leaving them

[00:47:26] How long after we give him the book? Are we gonna have the talisman? I would have to look

[00:47:31] Like do we have any idea if it's a if it's a timer?

[00:47:34] If it's gonna be like we hand it to him and we get it in like four hours

[00:47:37] Because if we're gonna investigate the maze engine

[00:47:39] We should investigate the mages and engine because that where the mode Ron is

[00:47:43] Did we leave him there? I honestly don't remember what you did with it. We left everyone basically at like never like grove

[00:47:50] Yeah, we should talk to the mode Ron if we're gonna talk about the mate

[00:47:53] You talked to the mode Ron and you talked to grump

[00:47:56] um

[00:47:57] The maze engine

[00:47:59] Should set things in order

[00:48:02] What that means you don't necessarily know

[00:48:05] Grump doesn't even know he's never turned one on

[00:48:09] um

[00:48:11] But we that's the hard part for me to assume is that grump is saying the maze engine for all trueistic means

[00:48:17] Grump's primary interest is getting rid of the demons. Sure

[00:48:21] I would say if I have a vote it's probably pick up the mode Ron and check out the maze engine

[00:48:26] Cool

[00:48:27] Because I'm sure as fuck not doing it wherever

[00:48:30] This Aaron wants us to do it. Yeah in minza brain

[00:48:33] And we talked to elmenster

[00:48:34] And if it was obviously a trap maybe elmenster would have said fucking I don't know silvery moon or some shit

[00:48:40] You know what I mean he could have said in the deserts of nowhere

[00:48:43] But it probably needs something of arcane power and we know that the maze engine has that yeah

[00:48:48] I don't know

[00:48:49] I don't think it's a bad idea

[00:48:52] Well if the mode Ron if the mode Ron's unlever never like grove giving him is easy because we can just shroom over

[00:48:58] Shroom back

[00:49:00] Didn't we leave a thing

[00:49:01] Near the engine why aren't we closer to it?

[00:49:04] Basically yeah at the angels
