Jor , I'm Chris , my name is Kent and this is . Wonderful .

Speaker 1 0:43

So last time , your journey brought you to Fang Village and you arrived during the Wind Festival , a celebration of changing seasons and elemental balance . The villagers welcomed you with surprising warmth . You met Qi , who shared rice cakes with you and broke the tension at your arrival . You also had the chance to meet Elder Chia , who shared rice cakes with you and broke the tension of your arrival . You also had the chance to meet Elder Chia . You mingled among stalls and hearths , helped hoist lanterns into the night sky and listened to soft melodies played on flutes and drums . Shusui , you received a white blessing string from a young girl . Wagnu joined the musicians , a lute in his hand . Shu Sui , wag Nhu even decided to put on a spectacular show of swordsmanship and going all out , earning the praises of all the villagers .

Speaker 1 1:37

As the night deepened and your lanterns rose into the stars , each one carrying a whispered wish , a stranger perched above the roof , watching in silence , cloaked in mystery . The tiefling demanded a wind artifact . You refused . You see , as the festival fires around you , they start to flicker . The sky , moments ago filled with lanterns and laughter , is suddenly swallowed by a sharp wind . You see villagers start to scream , some start to run , some are just kind of frozen in their place , not sure what to do . On top of the roof , the tiefling figure with his hand outstretched up and you see like a swirling of , like dark energy forming around him . Suddenly the ground starts split open and from the smoking breath calls a snarling horned demon wreathed in bristle and flame . Its beard are lashing , barbed , chain of molten hair , its glaive dragging across the stone . The air crackles with fury and it raises its blade and brings it down and a shockwave tears through the plaza . Everyone , give me a constitution saving throw .

Speaker 4 2:57

Oh man , it started off already .

Speaker 2 3:00

Let's go straight into the fire .

Speaker 4 3:03

Oh , got a 16 , 7 , 16 , 11 , 11 . Not good , I'll use tacticians you got seven , right , okay , roll a d10 to see if I see if I pass . Okay , so that is a 14 . Does that pass ? Nice , yep , you barely passed no snap , um so already passed .

Speaker 1 3:41

Oh snap , oh what the so Shusui and Black Sky . As this wave of like crackling dark energy comes toward you , the both of you are able to kind of just brace yourself and you keep your stance , wagnu , for some reason , because it caught you off guard and you weren't prepared for it . As this wave comes , like towards you , you turn your your head and it you turn just a little bit too late and it knocks you down and you fall . Prone Shusui , can you give me a perception ? Check as well ?

Speaker 4 4:22

Uh , perception , yeah Uh perception . Check as well , Perception yeah , 20 .

Speaker 1 4:40

20 . As this is happening , you notice on the corner of your eye your dog and a little girl that were probably hanging out and like playing around before . And as this dark wave just comes , you see the girl put herself over the dog and then she gets knocked back and hits a wall . The demon in front of you looks at all of you and just snarls and do you ever want to go ahead and roll me initiative ?

Speaker 4 5:12

Oh , 20 . Okay , cool who wants to go first . They may take my roll .

Speaker 2 5:19

I got a 10 .

Speaker 5 5:20

I got an 8 .

Speaker 4 5:23

All right . Well , one of you take my roll .

Speaker 5 5:26

I think maybe Black Sky .

Speaker 1 5:29

Alrighty George . So you actually do start your turn being prone because you failed the Constitution saving throw .

Speaker 5 5:37

Oh , true , true .

Speaker 1 5:38

So you can use all of your movement to get up .

Speaker 5 5:42

Can I ? I can't cast a spell , after that can I Only bonus . You can , because you're using your movement only . So you , I can't cast a spell .

Speaker 1 5:46

After that can I only bonus actually you can , because you're only because you're using your movement only so you just can't move afterwards okay but you still have your action , your bonus action that's cool , I'll do it .

Speaker 5 5:54

Yeah , I'll use all my movement to get up okay okay what are we doing ? Uh , I just want to make sure I can heal myself with this , because it says something you have to touch or a creature you can touch . But I guess I can do that to myself . Right , cure wounds .

Speaker 1 6:10

Yeah , you can touch yourself .

Speaker 5 6:11

yeah , all right cool , I'll cast cure wounds on myself then . Okay 2d8 plus my spellcasting modifier . 8 plus my spellcasting modifier , which is Should be your charisma , right ?

Speaker 4 6:28

I think so . Yes , so 8 plus 4 nice , ok , cool you're basically full health .

Speaker 1 6:37

I'm basically full health that's fine , I got the bonus here make sure you take out the spell slot .

Speaker 5 6:47

Gotcha . I'm now at 28 HP with one spell left , but I will use my bonus action to cast Bardic Inspiration . Okay , who's going after me again ? It's a black sky , or ? Yeah , it's me okay , I guess I'll do the first one . To just to a black sky .

Speaker 1 7:14

Okay , so I will give any , uh , any way you're doing it , any uh flavor you want to add to it ?

Speaker 5 7:19

I'll heal myself again . Ah , that's better . And I go , this is for you , black sky , and I'll play a little tune getting him in the beat , getting him in the , in the mood . I'm playing the sinners ost .

Speaker 1 7:38

No , yeah , and then you know how it works , right , black sky yeah , okay yeah , so you get one d6 to uh , I think , your attack rows , your saving throws , I think , and your ability checks , I believe all right , perfect .

Speaker 5 7:54

And then that on my turn , since I can't move either okay .

Speaker 1 7:57

so , uh , with that , it's the the demon's turn . It's gonna go straight towards sky as you . As he comes towards you , you will kind of see , you're able to see , like on top of the roof where that do this , and you see him kind of like point his finger at you , he's gonna take out his , he's gonna bring up his glaive and bring it down and try to strike you . That's a 9 . Your AT is what ? 13 ? Yes , okay , so it misses . It brings it down and you kind of just move to the side a little bit .

Speaker 1 8:40

It just comes past your face as it comes down , it brings it back up and swings again oh man , multi attack the 12 oh damn close , not even close okay , yeah it comes , it goes down , comes back up and you just kind of like almost like back , been a little bit , just misses you and that's his turn . So you see all that happen right in front of you . What are you doing , this guy ?

Speaker 2 9:10

oh , I pull out the daggers and strike him . Oh my god , I rolled in that one is it our first ?

Speaker 1 9:20

now one of the games . Oh my god , god , you're pulling a Chris over here man , he's in my face too , bro , it was three times in one session .

Speaker 3 9:32

It was terrible . Based on the roles , it's bad .

Speaker 2 9:36

Based on the cinematics . We're just scrapping each other .

Speaker 1 9:38

We're just dodging at the facts . You backbend a little too far back , you reach for your daggers and you bring it up and he just manages to kind of like jump back right on time , right in time to miss . You still have a bonus action .

Speaker 2 9:53

Oh , okay , can I still attack with my bonus action ?

Speaker 1 9:58

If you have an ability that lets you do it .

Speaker 4 10:02

If he has two daggers he can do the two weapons fighting .

Speaker 1 10:06

Are you taking out both your daggers .

Speaker 2 10:08

No , I only have one . All right , that's okay , I can still move , right .

Speaker 1 10:13

You can still move . But if you move he does get a chance to attack you .

Speaker 2 10:16

Damn . All right , you know what ? I will just end my turn .

Speaker 1 10:19

End your turn Okay .

Speaker 2 10:21

Cinematic versus . We were just scrapping , dodging .

Speaker 1 10:28

Exactly Like your turn , okay , cinematic very sweet , just scrapping , dodging .

Speaker 2 10:30

Exactly like the anime you know , like the punches .

Speaker 4 10:31

That never hits , yeah , that never connects , you know oh man , not the movie .

Speaker 1 10:33

All right , it's your .

Speaker 4 10:36

It's your , go man I'm just gonna bolt behind him and uh go to town , let's go damn , let's go and go so I will take that attack with advantage that is 1420 20 . Yes , I'm good , it's since I hit , I will make it a menacing attack . Okay , so I add a superiority die , which is a d8 , to the damage roll , and then they have to succeed on a 14 wisdom save or they become frightened until the end of my next turn .

Speaker 1 11:19

Okay , five , six , uh 12 , 18 damage , 18 damage . I gotta damage Nice , I gotta make a 14, . You said Yep , wisdom save , right yeah , 12 .

Speaker 4 11:33

Alright , he's frightening me until the end of my next turn .

Speaker 1 11:37

Nice , okay . So as you bring down your sword and you leave a menacing aura and you try to make him be afraid of you , you see that his eyes and his face doesn't seem to change at all . He doesn't seem to be affected by your menacing strike .

Speaker 4 11:57

It means to fear , frighten , correct .

Speaker 1 12:02

So now will be my turn . Alrighty Wagnu . Here , here we go , demon on deck awesome , I'm gonna go .

Speaker 4 12:13

Oh , I can't move oh , my bad , I didn't hit F-turn . Oh , should be good now , okay , perfect .

Speaker 5 12:28

I wanna try to get a sneak attack on him as well . Alright , I'm gonna move behind him .

Speaker 1 12:36

So you can't go behind him , cause that space is already occupied by uh Chusui . Well , technically , chusui should be right here , and then he's like this square okay , okay yeah , sky's in the square , so the square is still the five feet squares can I ?

Speaker 5 12:49

can I still move to this square ?

Speaker 1 12:52

yeah , you can right there .

Speaker 5 12:53

I think it's still consider um like thinking , because you guys are pretty much like because we have them surrounded right triangle yeah yeah , pretty much nice , so you would still get advantage for your attack okay , perfect , all right , and then I'm gonna go ahead and pull out my , I'm gonna pull out my scimitaria okay , all right , and then I'll hit him , I'll slash him , slash him rolling bro . That's trash .

Speaker 1 13:21

It's 12 only it's 12 , only 12 does not hit damn okay . And in my bonus action I will cast my last bardic inspiration on Shu Sui so I you rush in and you swing your sword at him and you have this thought of your fight with Shu Sui earlier and you miss because he of your fight with Shusui earlier and you missed because he beat you up pretty bad . How are you doing your bardic inspiration ?

Speaker 5 13:54

after my miss with my sword , my skimitar , I backpedal and go . I was just distracting you . And then I start playing the tune the .

Speaker 4 14:03

OSD from Sinners and I look at Sh .

Speaker 5 14:06

I I'm viewing with my bardic inspiration okay , cool and that's it got a bardic inspiration .

Speaker 1 14:14

Okay , uh , demon sir , it's gonna turn around and face shisui and it's gonna . You see its beard , it's kind of starts rising , like it has like a very long beard , almost like tendrils and stuff , and just kind of just goes in and try to hit you with that . Okay , that's a 18 .

Speaker 4 14:37

Wow , just barely whoo nice watch this be some insane damage .

Speaker 1 14:47

That's 10 points of piercing damage . Oh my god , it just dabs at you and then you also gain the poison condition until the start of its next turn .

Speaker 4 15:00

There's no save , I just get hit and I get poisoned . That's crazy , yep .

Speaker 1 15:06

So all it does is you just can't regain hit points until it's next turn . That's the poison effect . Oh , and then you have , uh , disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks .

Speaker 4 15:15

Okay , yeah , that's fine .

Speaker 1 15:20

Uh , as his beard hits you , he just swings his glaive around and try to hit . Try to swing at Wagnu , that's only a seven , so it misses you . It just goes right over your head .

Speaker 4 15:33

Don't worry , randy , he was focused on me , yeah .

Speaker 1 15:38

That's his turn . Go ahead , sky , let's go Alright .

Speaker 2 15:42

And then Is Is his back towards me now , since considering he's like facing shisui ?

Speaker 1 15:48

yeah , so he was , he was facing , he's facing shisui and he turned to try to hit wagnu . So it's kind of like in the like , uh , in between them two . So you guys see that there's like people around you too , but they're um , they're either trying to run away or they're trying to like they're frozen , like in their space , or they're not . Either they're knocked down by the wave from earlier .

Speaker 2 16:06

Okay , so would I get advantage here , since I'm kind of like behind him .

Speaker 1 16:11

Yeah , you get advantage . All right , cool , you get advantage because you're pincering him with Shusui .

Speaker 2 16:15

Yeah , Nice , okay , so I am going to use my cantrip Booming Blade . Okay , that's pretty much I booming blade . Um , okay , that's pretty much . I'm just gonna brandish my dagger with energy and it's just , uh , the same action as my normal attack . But if my attack lands , then if he moves in the next round , he Ooh 20 . Let's go , let's go , nat 20 . Nat 20 .

Speaker 1 16:47

Nat 20 . Okay , so you roll your damage dice twice . Okay , damage dice D4 . You had a 1 and a nat 20 . That's crazy .

Speaker 2 17:00

For real First roll was a 1 .

Speaker 1 17:02

Second roll was a nat 20 .

Speaker 2 17:04

Okay , okay , okay . So 4 and 2 . So 6 plus the piercing bonus damage , so that's 9 .

Speaker 1 17:13

9 damage . Okay , cool All right .

Speaker 2 17:16

And then , since it lands , my booming blade , in fact my booming blade cantrip , goes into effect . I don't know why I said it All right , and then I'll end my turn .

Speaker 1 17:31

So if he moves during your Booming Blade , right , then he gets damage , right ?

Speaker 3 17:35

Yes , Okay , all right , she's sweet , it's your go .

Speaker 4 17:39

I'm just going to keep swinging at him .

Speaker 5 17:41

Let's go . I have advantage , but I'm poisoned , so it's just a normal roll , so let's go .

Speaker 4 17:45

so we just grab , I have advantage , but I'm poisoned , so it's just a normal roll , so let's see what I get .

Speaker 1 17:49

It's a normal roll uh 1925 25 dance fly . Yeah , it's good , yeah , man really good let's go .

Speaker 3 18:01

I'm probably not rolling my goddamn notes .

Speaker 4 18:04

You can actually roll them , alright . And then , uh , ooh , do I wanna do the extra damage ? He's immune to the fear . But Uh , let's see . Yeah , I'll do it for the extra damage , why not ? Oh , man , alright . 5 , 6 , 12 damage 12 damage .

Speaker 1 18:33

He takes it , he eats it in the face .

Speaker 4 18:36

I'll save my second one for now . I'll just end my turn there .

Speaker 1 18:41

Wagnu , it's your go Awesome .

Speaker 5 18:46

Not only seeing how much damage you saw he was doing , I immediately go in for another . Another slash of my scimitar . I hit it at 20, . Let's go . Oh god you're going crazy , it'll be my turn next .

Speaker 1 19:02

That one's going to get crit One of the two .

Speaker 3 19:05

Use all of them now you know , now it's okay , oh god go ahead row damage , so damage , dice twice okay , so six total from both the rolls okay , okay and then plus three , so nine yeah , cool

Speaker 1 19:23

okay cool , okay , yeah , yeah , you're so inspired by what you're seeing from your friends or your comrades and you just go in , swing a sword and it's like it stashes around the back instantly , just kind of arches his back a little bit . He's like a little shriek .

Speaker 5 19:37

Nice , all right , cool , and then I'll just I'm my here .

Speaker 1 19:44

At this point , it's going to turn towards you , wagnu , and it's going to try to attack you with its glaive first , and it crit .

Speaker 5 19:55

Oh my god .

Speaker 4 19:57

I called it .

Speaker 5 19:59

It wasn't on me but I called it Fax fax .

Speaker 1 20:01

Oh , my gosh Fax . Okay , that's all good , I just healedacts .

Speaker 4 20:03

Oh my gosh Facts .

Speaker 5 20:04

Okay , that's all good , I just healed myself .

Speaker 4 20:06

It's fine , you're full health , yeah , yeah .

Speaker 1 20:08

Yeah , that's 15 points of damage .

Speaker 5 20:12

Okay , not bad .

Speaker 1 20:15

God dang , and also give me a constitution , saving throw .

Speaker 4 20:22

He gets a con save Gotcha .

Speaker 5 20:24

What a scam this is from the glaive . I just rolled a six Dang .

Speaker 1 20:31

Okay , right , as he slashes you with the glaive , you see a mark appear where he slashed you . It almost looks like some kind of flame or like a black fire mark . So you receive this is what they call an infernal wound . So you received an infernal wound , so , while wounded , you lose 1d10 HP at the start of your turn . And it ends after a minute .

Speaker 4 21:01

It ends after a minute . Oh my gosh .

Speaker 1 21:05

It's gonna turn towards Skye and Skye as it turns towards you , it's beard just starts going crazy . It's long ass beard just goes crazy and tries to stab you with it . That's gonna be a 22 to hit Fuck .

Speaker 4 21:26

What are these ?

Speaker 1 21:28

bonuses . That's only 7 , as it pierces you . But then you become poisoned . You can't gain

Intense Combat with the Demon

Speaker 1 21:36

HP until the start of its turn .

Speaker 5 21:39

Oh gosh .

Speaker 4 21:40

So I'm no longer poisoned .

Speaker 1 21:43

So you're still poisoned , but you can gain HP . Now , that's what it is , I see . So the poison is just you have a disadvantage on attack rolls , and then he has an extra ability where you just can't gain HP until the end of its turn .

Speaker 4 21:55

Wait . How long does the poison last ?

Speaker 1 21:58

One minute .

Speaker 4 21:59

One minute , okay , damn .

Speaker 1 22:03

That's all battle pretty much .

Speaker 5 22:13

Spag it okay , yeah , but that's , that's a turn you guys are doing good dang I got infernal wounded 3v1 .

Speaker 2 22:26

All right , so I will , let's see .

Speaker 1 22:41

Okay , um , wow , so for one of my spells it says the casting time is one reaction . Does that like count as my action ? The reaction works when on their turn , every turn , you get one reaction , so you can use it on his turn .

Speaker 2 22:52

I was going to , but that's fine .

Speaker 1 22:56

It would have worked like this he attacks you , you use the reaction and it'll be your turn and you can have your action and your bonus actually .

Speaker 2 23:01

Okay , that makes sense . Oh man , I'll use it next turn . Okay , so I am , you can have your action , your bones actually . Oh okay , okay , that makes sense . Yeah , oh man , all right all good , I'll use it next turn um .

Speaker 1 23:08

Okay , so I am going to use sorcerer's burst okay , right in front of him , right in front of his face . We are scrapping tonight , let's go so , um , because he's close to you , you get disadvantage on that , but I think it's because you're ginking as well , you get advantage . So it just kind of castles out , oh , but then you're poisoned too damn yeah , that's why well it doesn't stack , so yeah , so it doesn't make sense it doesn't stack , but so it's just a normal roll . It's just a normal roll .

Speaker 4 23:46

yeah , it doesn't matter how many advantage you have , they just cancel out , unless there's some obscure roll .

Speaker 2 23:56

Oh wait , Do we ? How do we identify the bearded devil's weakness ?

Speaker 1 24:03

You pretty much just attack , and if it does like uh , more damage , I'll let you know , okay . Or if it doesn't do that much , if it isn't doing anything , I'll let you know . It's kind of like what's so cool , what chris did early , what she was doing , uh , was he tried to frighten him and I just told him that he didn't get scared all right . So now you know that he's immune to being afraid yeah , man always held back back so I'm gonna use A sorceress burst of Is it ice ?

Speaker 2 24:28

Yeah , ice , assuming he's from Hell or he's burning up . That might be his weakness , so I'm gonna roll . Oh , I hit a 10 10 to hit .

Speaker 1 24:42

10 does not hit . Damn , I missed . Yeah , you sorcerer's burst and you change it to a cold elemental and it hits him in the face and you see , it just melts away before he reaches him .

Speaker 2 24:55

I will end my turn .

Speaker 1 24:57

Okay , choose to be .

Speaker 4 24:58

Alright , I will proceed to just swing at him . Normal roll again , so we'll see if I keep getting lucky . Uh ooh . Okay , that's a three . That's a nine . Do I want to use the d6 ?

Speaker 5 25:16

Ooh . Uh three , nine .

Speaker 4 25:22

God okay , so it's above a twelve , so that means 50% chance chance I fail . I think I'll just let this attack go okay and then I will use my bonus action to uh , where is it a second one ? So that is , I heal a . I can heal now , right ? Yeah , you can heal now , so I heal a d10 plus 3 .

Speaker 1 25:49

Oh , I lied , I lied , actually I lied it's until this poison ends , you can't gain hit points .

Speaker 4 25:55

Okay , never mind , then I'm probably gonna die because I can't heal .

Speaker 1 25:59

Okay , but then this is where I mix it up . So his poison works is you get the poison until the start of his turn . So the poison is gone , so you can't heal now .

Speaker 4 26:10

All right , that's five , eight . I heal for eight , and then that will be my turn .

Speaker 5 26:16

Nice dude . Okay , nice , all right . Is he still facing me too , or yeah , he's like in between you and this guy right now .

Speaker 4 26:30

Okay , you know what ?

Speaker 5 26:32

I'm just gonna .

Speaker 4 26:33

Where's my dog at true get the free .

Speaker 5 26:35

Get the free advantage hits we're just out here swinging , scrapping . I want to move away , but I don't want to get opportunitied . So I'm just going to go for another swing with the skimitar . But I don't want to get opportunitied , I'm just going to go for another swing with the Scimitar . I hit a . If you want to run away .

Speaker 4 26:50

You could have disengaged and then just left .

Speaker 5 26:56

I'd rather go for damage , but it was a bad roll .

Speaker 1 26:59

Oh wait , so you do take 1d10 .

Speaker 5 27:02

Speaker 5 27:47

Speaker 1 28:06

As you start running back and you're second winning yourself , you catch like a second win and you get some HP back . You hear like atop the roof the figure just kind of like snickers . Look , little one's running away . What a coward , what . And then the devil is just going to . The bearded demon is just going to focus on Shu Sui and swing its glaive at you .

Speaker 4 28:34

Let's go .

Speaker 1 28:35

That's 19 to hit .

Speaker 4 28:38

Why Okay ?

Speaker 1 28:43

That's 8 damage . And then you give me a constitution saving throw .

Speaker 4 28:45

I just healed that 8's 8 damage and then you give me a constitution saving throw . I just healed that 8 slashing damage . Alright , and then I have to roll a constitution save .

Speaker 1 28:56

You need to be at 12 .

Speaker 4 28:57

14 . Thank god .

Speaker 1 29:00

Nice , yeah , yeah . He stashes you and you see as like it starts to kind of burn you where he stashes , but it just kind of fades away . He goes again with his beard just facing you and his beard just goes crazy to town on you . Let's see if he hits . I'm getting jumped . That's only 12 , so it doesn't hit you , nope .

Speaker 4 29:18

I will use my reaction to when is it ? Repost , repost , repost . When a creature misses you with a melee attack roll , I can expend a superiority die to make an attack roll with a weapon against that creature . If I hit , I add the superiority die to the damage .

Speaker 1 29:43

Oh , okay , okay , Okay already died to the damage .

Speaker 4 29:51

Oh , oh , okay , okay , okay , uh , I get advantage on this because he's still pinned between us , right ? Yeah , yeah you do okay cool 1622 that hits yep going to hits and I get to do the damage . So d10 plus d6 oh no , what ? What is that ? I rolled a two and a one .

Speaker 5 30:28

That's nine damage total All right , that's damage .

Speaker 2 30:32

That's damage , that's not too bad , that's damage .

Speaker 1 30:33

Yeah , I could have been so much higher . Its beard just goes crazy on you and you kind of like bring your shield just in time , as it like it scrapes against your shield and you swing your sword right at him again and he takes one and you see him kind of like buckle down to his knees a little bit . He seems pretty hurt . Now , alright , guys , you see like blood starts to like drip from where you slashed him and as it hits the ground it turns to like fire and it just like evaporates away . Alright , and that's , it's turn sky , let's go get up .

Speaker 2 31:09

Get up before he kills me , I'm gonna charge up another sources verse , but this time it'll be a psychic verse . Okay , I don't know what psychic does in dnd , but it sounds like like pokemon psychic yeah yeah , that's what I'm assuming right I think it is too .

Speaker 4 31:28

Yeah , I don't know , I never been players I don't know yeah , man , it's like damage oh 17 , let's go yeah 17 is good , hits nice , it hits boom a , two , two damage he has one hp holy

Speaker 1 31:48

holy , let's go so how do you want to , how do you want to do this ? How do you want to explain your wait ?

Speaker 4 31:56

you're telling me I would have killed him if I didn't roll a two and a one if you roll the two and a two , Damn it .

Speaker 2 32:05

Yeah , the one HP left Alright with a little bit of cinematic you know , I'm going to charge at my sorcerer's burst and I'm going to hurl it like a throwing rasingan , but when it hits him it's going to squeeze his brains out and his head is going to pop .

Speaker 1 32:23

Okay , yeah , yeah , it goes into it and his head starts shaking and you see like it starts bulging up like crazy and it just pops and like you'd expect , like brains and everything to just spatter around . But what you get is instead it's like smoke and his body just kind of like fades as the smoke's out and with that you guys are out of combat .

Speaker 5 32:51

Nice Hoo , hoo hoo .

Speaker 1 32:55

Uh , you hear ? The dude above just claps at you guys as he sits down . Okay , okay , that wasn't too bad . Just claps at you guys as he sits down . Okay ,

Speaker 1 33:06

okay , that wasn't too bad , that wasn't too bad . Next time I'll be sure to get the wind artifact and I'll do it myself . You three , you aren't ready for the wrath of the black dawn . He gets up and he starts like backing up a little bit um .

Speaker 2 33:38

Can I taunt him ?

Speaker 1 33:40

what do you want to ?

Speaker 2 33:41

do , would that be under intimidation or deception ?

Speaker 1 33:45

uh , if you're . Well , it depends . If you're trying to uh intimidate him , then you tell me what you're trying to do first and I'll see if it .

Speaker 2 33:55

I'll see what it falls under I'm just trying to taunt him like because he called us cowards and so I want to call him a coward for , like running .

Speaker 1 34:03

Are you sure you want me to come down there right now ? Your friends are literally holding on to the last of their life . You kind of scooch forward a little bit . If I wanted to , I can kill you right now , but I like to play with my food first , and that was a spectacular show . I'll give you that . Can I take my leave now , or do you want something else ?

Speaker 2 34:34

Speaker 2 34:58

Oh man , I'm so about the smoke All right , all right .

Speaker 4 35:05

Let's do it . Let's do it . Oh wait , this has to be a team decision .

Speaker 5 35:07

All right , man , we're doing this , let's do this oh , you guys are down , I'm down , you guys are down , let's do it all right all right , because I really provoked him .

Speaker 2 35:17

Do you guys want to ?

Speaker 5 35:18

provoke him too . Yeah , yeah , I got you . So I look at him like one last thing , can you hold on to this ? And then I cast fireball .

Speaker 1 35:29

Okay , real initiative .

Speaker 5 35:31

Okay , again , I'm nine , all right , man .

Speaker 4 35:37

We're dying today .

Speaker 5 35:39

Who wants to go first ?

Speaker 2 35:45

24 ? All right , all right , all 22 . We're good , bro Holy .

Speaker 5 35:51

You guys go first .

Speaker 1 35:53

Shusui , give me another perception . Check , please , All right .

Speaker 4 35:59

Plus four . Maybe I give the plus D6 to this Seven 11.4 . Maybe I give the plus the d6 to this uh 7 11 yeah , I'll use the d6 on this .

Speaker 1 36:18

So 11 plus uh , uh , 12 . You see all the villagers are starting to like run towards the little girl that was knocked to the wall earlier , and you see some tending to your dog right now . So what was the initiative ?

Speaker 5 36:31

Mine is 12 . Yeah , 22 .

Speaker 4 36:34

I was 24 .

Speaker 2 36:36

I think she said it was 24 .

Speaker 1 36:37

Yeah . So are you guys switching order at all ? I don't think so . Yeah , I think we're good .

Speaker 4 36:43

Yeah , I think we're good All right , so it's going to be Chris , uh , kent the tiefling and then jor I will , uh , I will just drop my uh short sword and draw my bow and I will just shoot my bow at him . Oh uh , 13 , 19 .

Speaker 1 37:00

Nice 19 hits 13 , 19 19 hits d8 plus 4 , 8 damage nice you see that he was looking over to Skye and he looked over to Wagnu because they were trying to provoke him earlier . And you took this moment and you drop your your sword and you take out your bow and you shot an arrow at him and it hits him right in the shoulder and he turns his direction towards you . All right , sky , what are you doing ?

Speaker 2 37:35

all right , um he , is he still on the rooftop ?

Speaker 1 37:38

because you said , yeah , he's still on the rooftop . Okay , he's like , he's like right here , right , he was walking backwards and he turned back to talk to you .

Speaker 2 37:45

Okay , okay , okay , Bad , bad , bad so . So simultaneously in the cinematic verse , as soon as Shisui shoots his arrow , I also charge up my firebolt , Okay .

Speaker 1 38:02

And .

Speaker 2 38:02

I chuck it at him .

Speaker 1 38:04

Let's see Roll to attack . Oh my god and that one no uh , you wrote you charge your fireball before it gets like it starts to charge up and it just kind of dissipates and you don't know why all right , and then I'll just taunt him again .

Speaker 1 38:25

You better run he laughs at like all three of you . I don't know if you guys are stupid or if you guys have guts . Little girl over there is dying . You're wasting your time . If you want to give me the artifact , you could have done so without giving up your life . He's gonna jump down Casually . He kind of like just drops and he just , he just walks to the edge and then just floats down casually , heads over to Shusui .

Speaker 4 39:00

It's always me , every time .

Speaker 1 39:05

Our team . And you see , as he takes out from like from inside of his robe , robe , he takes out a sword and as it comes out like shadow smoke just follows it , he swings at you . That's gonna be a 20 to hit , not now okay , I guess I'll take it you get that's gonna be 8 slashing damage . It's always 8 damage 8 slashing damage and 3 necrotic damage .

Speaker 4 39:43

Holy Okay , this is . This is pretty bad .

Speaker 1 39:51

As he slashies with that , he comes back down again , okay , and it's like it's only 11 , so it misses . And as he misses , it's almost as if , like he , he was just trying to make you , he was just trying to scare you . You know like , when you like this , you know to like a little younger and right as he does that , you see them fade away he's not giving you a chance to react or do anything oh my god , and he's over here right behind sky knows misty's day as he approaches behind you .

Speaker 1 40:45

Walk new , it's your friend . Just hands over the artifact , I will leave , and no one has to die . Do you really want to be the cause of a whole village burning to ?

Speaker 5 41:00

the ground and it's your go Holy . Can I talk to him too , or is it just fight ?

Speaker 1 41:03

Yeah , yeah , it's free speech , All right , he's right next to you .

Speaker 5 41:07

I'll say look , I can tell from your skills You're the kind of person that appreciates a skillful battle . I'm sure you can tell we're not up to our peak form at the moment and there's something tells me we're going to meet each other again . So why don't we save this battle until we're both full , at our full capacities ? And you , let us help this little girl , you , you you initiated about how's the past ?

Speaker 1 41:38

you want to fight me ?

Speaker 5 41:41

talking about now . It'll be a glorious battle . I can already see it . So what do you want to fight us now at half our strength ?

Speaker 4 41:54

Or when we're full . I feel like I got gas lit into this fight .

Speaker 1 41:59

Give me a persuasion check , disadvantage , disadvantage okay , wait .

Speaker 5 42:04

so how did the disadvantage work ? Again it's .

Speaker 1 42:06

So you roll twice and then you take the lowest one .

Speaker 4 42:09

Oh my god , how can you do this to me walkthrough .

Speaker 5 42:16

So , first one's ten , second one's four Dang .

Speaker 1 42:21

I'm getting a little tired of your games . I think I'll just take what I want . So your goal .

Speaker 5 42:30

Is disengaging still available to me ?

Speaker 1 42:34

Yeah , you can still disengage , Okay .

Speaker 5 42:35

I'll disengage here and I need to get some space . I will run over here behind Shisui .

Speaker 4 42:47

Okay .

Speaker 5 42:49

Cool , and then yeah , that'll be it for me .

Speaker 4 42:55

Shisui , your go Cool and then , yeah , that'll be it for me . How did you see your goal ? Alright ? Uh , it is A little bit awkward , a little bit awkward . I will , uh , I will head over to where my dog and the girl is , and I will , uh , I will head over to where my dog and the girl is , and I will , uh , go apply my healing potion on her , and , uh , that will be my turn okay , so as you pour your healing potion into her mouth , she drinks it , but it almost seems like it's not doing anything damn that's crazy , and you see , you see , the villagers are just kind of like , uh , they're , they're giving like her potions too .

Speaker 1 43:39

They're trying to , like you know , apply whatever they can . You see chi , there too , he's like tossy , wake up , tossy .

Speaker 4 43:49

Wake up , tossie , all right . Well , that's my turn .

Speaker 2 43:52

Damn . All right , and then I will move in front of Wagnu and I will cast Dissonant Whispers . All right , let me know what it does . It is one spell slot and it's instantaneous . One creature of your choice that you can see within range . Here's a discordant melody , and it's instantaneous One creature of your choice that you can see within range . Here's a discordant melody . In its mind , the target must make a wisdom saving , throw On a failed save . It takes 3d6 psychic damage and must immediately use its reaction , if available , to move as far away from me as possible , using the safest route I like that they only wrote an 8. , 8. , 13 .

Speaker 1 44:31

Let's go Let safest route . I like that they only rolled an 8 .

Speaker 2 44:34

8 13 .

Speaker 1 44:36

Let's go , I'm going to roll your damage .

Speaker 2 44:40

Where's my 6 at let's go ?

Speaker 1 44:43

3 , 6 . Is that considered charmed or frightened ?

Speaker 4 44:47

No , there's no status applied to it . Damn , okay , I'll try anything , let's go applied to it .

Speaker 1 44:52

Oh , it just Damn , okay . Okay , I'll try anything .

Speaker 3 44:55

All right , all right , let's go , let me roll , let's go .

Speaker 2 44:58

3d6 . 6 . 4 . 6 .

Speaker 4 45:05

Oh , my God .

Speaker 2 45:06

Okay . And you know while I cast this , I talk a little crap to him . I'm like .

Speaker 5 45:14

I just tell him why do you ?

Speaker 1 45:16

keep backing up . What does your Destinate Whispers look like ?

Speaker 2 45:23

Is there like a ?

Speaker 1 45:24

physical or I just there's nothing physical about it , it's a little more like , let's say , some Charles Xavier stuff .

Speaker 2 45:30

I flick my hand and he starts hearing stuff in his head .

Speaker 1 45:34

Cool . So you can see , like the waves that you're emitting , right , so you see as it goes and you also see for some reason it's not reaching him . It kind of just like stops right there and bounces back . He doesn't take any damage from it , is what it seems like , but he slowly steps . He slowly , like , keeps moving back and as he moves back he just keeps laughing at you and you're yelling at him . Why do you keep moving back ? Why do you keep moving back ? And he just keeps laughing ? And once again , black sky . And he , as he moves farther back , like a shadowy door almost opens behind him . He just goes into it and it closes . You guys are a combat . I didn't know you could do that awesome yeah , we would have had him we would have had him easily but he got lucky , he got hella lucky .

Speaker 1 46:34

As like the like , everything kind of come back to like how it was before this mystery figure arrived here . You see , like the , there's like a sulfur smell in the air and it's slowly like just kind of fades away . As like the wind blows it , you start to hear like the sound of , like hushed sobs , like everyone's panicking uh , they're trying to tend to every like whoever's like was hurt by the wave shisui . You see chi and you see a little girl who you know turning to be tossy , wagnu and sky . You two are together right now by the fire , as you see everyone panicking and trying to make sense of what's happening . Today was supposed to be like a joyous day , but all of a sudden this happened . What are you guys doing now ?

Speaker 5 47:20

I want to go check on the Tassie first , because she was hurt in the fight , right .

Speaker 4 47:28

Yeah , at the start of the fight .

Speaker 5 47:30

Okay .

Speaker 2 47:31

Yeah , she got blew away .

Speaker 1 47:34

I'll go check on her first as you approach . Yeah , you see Chi . You see Shusi right there . You see Tasi unconscious . Some of the villagers are just like chanting , but she doesn't seem to be waking up .

Speaker 5 47:47

Can I try casting a spell on her too , like a healing spell ? Do you have any more spell slots ?

Speaker 1 47:52

It's my last one , yeah , okay , go ahead . What do you want to try to do ?

Speaker 5 47:55

I'll cast Cure Wounds on her . It's only someone I can touch , so I will just go up and touch where she looks wounded and then cast a spell on her .

Speaker 1 48:05

Okay , you bend down and there's no physical area . It looks like it's worse than the other Because she was knocked back by some magical wave . You touch her and cast Cure Wounds on her . Go and roll me the Cure Wounds , dice , or die Gotcha .

Speaker 5 48:25

It's 2d8 plus 5 . 3 , 4 . So 12 .

Speaker 1 48:32

As you cast , cure wounds and you see it goes in and her colors comes back and it fades like a couple seconds afterwards dang , so it didn't work .

Speaker 5 48:52

Okay , I'll try to talk to her like , hey , are you ? I'll nudge her a little .

Speaker 1 49:01

Yeah , you go and nudge her . You see Chie's holding onto her tight . He's like she won't wake up . She won't wake up .

Speaker 5 49:10

Have you guys ever seen anything like this ?

Speaker 1 49:12

Right when you say that Elder Chieh walks behind you . This is no ordinary hurt , it's a curse . You , you have saved us all from a great evil . Tonight we owe you our lives . And then he turns to face Tassie on the ground . But now we have another life to save , alright , the only one who can help with this that I know is Shaman Yur .

Speaker 5 49:48

And where do we find her ?

Speaker 1 49:50

In the Outer Forest . I'd hate to ask you of this right after everything you've done , but he looked around to all the villagers . As you can see , we're not in a condition to go and fetch her . I'm sorry .

Speaker 5 50:08

That's alright , I understand . Let me talk to my comrades and we'll see if we can go get her . And I'll just break apart from that and move towards Black Sky and I'll tell Black Sky exactly what happened . I tried to use my cure wounds on her and it didn't work or it did work , I think , but then something negated the effect and then the other said it . She was cursed . The only person that can cure her is chaminure , so I think we should go look for him for her after arrest yeah , you see me in the corner kind of just coughing up some blood .

Speaker 5 50:47

Yeah , oh , did you need cure wounds ?

Speaker 4 50:50

my bad I'm only a three each fee .

Speaker 5 50:55

I'm okay give me a short rest , I'll be fine how do you guys feel about that , though ?

Speaker 4 51:01

we rest first , but we uh , yeah , I mean , do you know ? Uh , we know that she was normally comes to these celebrations , but she didn't come this season .

Speaker 2 51:16

Yeah , that sounds good . We could rest up before we embark .

Speaker 4 51:22

How's my dog ? Is my dog fine ?

Speaker 1 51:26

Your dog is knocked out .

Speaker 4 51:28

Oh dang . But besides that is he fine or is like dying uh , give me a medicine check all right , I can do that . That's uh . What's that plus two ? Uh , that is a nine . It's fine , I'm dying .

Speaker 1 51:44

It makes sense yeah , even in , like you know , even as injured as you are , your , your thoughts go toward your dog first , and you reach down and you kind of just try to feel for any kind of pulse or any heartbeat or any kind of movement . You start feeling around and he starts to whimper a little bit . And then in your mind you start to remember what happened before the battle started . You remember this little girl , tossie , going to cover your dog and taking the full blunt of the wave . But that wave was so powerful that it still managed to hit your dog a little bit enough to just kind of knock him out for this instant . So for now he's injured , but he's not dead . As you're doing , that Elder Chia kind of like comes up to you . Shusui , I didn't want to believe that one of their kind would be a bad omen , not on a day like this . Can you really trust them , shusui ?

Speaker 4 52:54

They didn't have to fight for your village , but they did . I think they've earned at least some trust .

Speaker 1 53:03

But whatever it was that that mysterious figure wanted and he looks towards Skye I think he had it .

Speaker 4 53:12

Well , someone who's willing to attack your village on a day like this , do you really think they care who had it ? It could have been anyone and they still would have attacked .

Speaker 1 53:26

What is it that you carry anyway ? What was it that you wanted ?

Speaker 4 53:32

I'm sorry , I can't tell you . Perhaps after speaking with the shaman we can discuss this , but I think it's best the less you know , that figure might show up again and I think it'd be best if you didn't have to lie to him .

Speaker 1 53:56

Can you help me take the injured inside ?

Speaker 4 54:00

I will . Uh , he looks angry when I call him out , but I'm sorry .

Speaker 1 54:09

I'm sorry and he looks towards some of the villagers . Please aid this man as well as the other two . I'm sorry . I'm sorry and he looks towards like some of the villagers . Please Aid this man as well as the other two . They fought for our sake . Is there anything else you guys want to do ?

Speaker 5 54:22

I'll just check with Black Sky real quick . Wait , I'm sorry . We know that Ken has the wind fragment . Right , we do right .

Speaker 3 54:31

Yes .

Speaker 1 54:32

Yeah , you know that he has it . You guys all saw when he took it .

Speaker 5 54:35

I'll just check with him see if he still has it Like do you still have the wind fragment ?

Speaker 2 54:41

Yeah , it's still on me .

Speaker 5 54:42

Okay , that guy wanted it real bad , so I'd say it's worth .

Speaker 1 54:47

Do a perception , check Sky .

Speaker 2 54:51

Perception check Holy . There's no way he would have got away .

Speaker 1 54:56

I'd roll the three right , as long as I do ask you this question , you start like you're like yes , on me , and then you start like feeling for it , and then for a moment you're like oh , wait , hold up , and you just start like kind of panicking a little bit . Wait , wait , you start reaching to all your pockets , all the pockets you have . And then you see on the ground next to you and you pick it up .

Speaker 4 55:20

See , yeah , it still had it on me .

Speaker 2 55:24

No one has faster hands than me .

Speaker 5 55:27

Good , good , alright , so we head back to Gia's house and rest .

Speaker 2 55:33

Yeah , that sounds like a plan , let's , let's head out and get some rest . What a sad day for the village .

Speaker 5 55:42

Yeah , hopefully we can help them out as much as we can .

Speaker 1 55:46

Shu Sui . Knowing that this girl was the girl that Tied a string To you , how do you feel right now ? And knowing that she's like this , most likely because she chose to save your dog instead of herself ?

Speaker 4 56:04

I get glimpses to the flashback where my family died kind of protecting and covering for me . Where my family died kind of protecting and covering for me and I just kind of just grit my teeth and cursed under my breath .

Speaker 1 56:18

One word that lingers on the three of you . That was spoken by the mysterious tiefling . He mentioned something about the black dawn and as you guys head to Elder Chia's house to rest up , that lingers on the back of your mind . The night's quiet where it was once a joyous occasion of music and laughter and dance . Everyone's just kind of cooped up in Orochita's house , not even in their own homes , like they're too afraid to just be by themselves . Right now , all the villagers are just in the tavern before you sleep . Is there anything that the three of you would want to Engage with ?

Speaker 4 57:16

I , uh , I look over at the black sky and I go , uh , have you managed to Attune to it yet ? If not , maybe you'll give us some clues If you can attune to it .

Speaker 2 57:32

I Haven't had the chance , but but I'd do that . Let me do that right now , actually .

Speaker 4 57:40

And then , as he does that , I will spend some time to try and look at a GA shoulder pad that he left me Because I never got a chance to look at that really .

Speaker 1 57:54

GA shoulder pad that he left me because I never got a chance to look at that . Really , as you kind of like run your fingers through the pad , the shoulder pad , what stands out the most to you is , even though the shoulder pad seems kind of like worn out , there's a , there's that emerald that's ingrained into there that seems to shine , like that keeps the shine despite the shoulder pad being so worn out . You don't have anything that can detect magic or anything , huh .

Speaker 4 58:21

Nope , I'm a pure warrior . Alright , that just means I gotta have Black Sky . Take a look at it at some point .

Speaker 1 58:28

Yeah , so you , as you're looking at this , you're . What you get from this shoulder pad , though , is that , whatever it was , it was able to withstand lots of battles .

Speaker 4 58:38

I see uh Black Sky uh busy trying to attune to the uh to the fragment , so I'm just gonna find another time to give it to him .

Speaker 1 58:49

Wagano . Are you doing anything ?

Speaker 5 58:50

Hmm , no , I'll just rest , play my loot while I rest and go sleep .

Speaker 1 58:59

Would anyone be checking up on Tasi at this moment before they sleep , aside from Skyka ? Sky's your attuning right now , or you're trying to attune .

Speaker 5 59:09

Not me , not me .

Speaker 1 59:11

Wagnu is deep asleep , deep asleep .

Speaker 4 59:13

Even though he doesn't need to sleep .

Speaker 5 59:15

Need a rest , the only thing I'm gonna say is Shusui is uh too worn down for his own wounds .

Speaker 1 59:23

Technically , he's a human to you guys .

Speaker 4 59:26

Thanks . He's kinda like bandaged up and can't really move . All right sky .

Speaker 1 59:36

So go ahead and uh , how are you , how are you doing your meditation to attune to this ? I am just typical uh yoga meditation , just sitting and meditating as you're meditating and you're trying to attune to the wind artifact , you feel everything around you starts to get quiet . Go ahead and roll me a straight d20 . You have to get past a 10, .

Speaker 2 1:00:02

I believe yes , past a 10 . All right , let's go 12 .

Speaker 1 1:00:09

Nice , second time attuning to it , then Okay . Oh nice , second time attuned to it , then okay .

Speaker 1 1:00:16

So you remember the first time when you first got the artifact , it was like there was like no weight to it and then , when you attune to it , it starts to get heavy and you feel you can feel weight on it . Now this time , as you attune to it , it gets even heavier , but it doesn't feel like um , it doesn't feel like you're holding like a weight or anything . It feels like something is pushing it against you . As you're holding it , like a pressure behind the artifact . As you're holding it in your hand , like you feel like little wind starts to gather around you and you also feel that no breezes seems to pass through you . And as you're breathing , it almost feels like every breath you take it feels like it's being watched by something , someone

Village Recovery & Morning Plans

Speaker 1 1:01:04

. It feels like you're being judged . So two success need one more . Is there anything else you do for the night before you retire ?

Speaker 2 1:01:15

I am gonna go talk to other chia . Okay , chia , chia yes , my bad .

Speaker 1 1:01:23

I I made a twin pc with the c , the chi and the chia . I realized it after you play . Why did I do that ? It's so hard like remember , though like shit you go and he's kind of like just standing over tassie , the little girl with chi holding onto her hand , and he notices you coming over is she all right ? I can't say she's breathing , so she's not dead .

Speaker 2 1:01:54

I'll go look for Chaminure as soon as sunlight Hits tomorrow .

Speaker 1 1:02:01

I really hope the Chaminure can help her .

Speaker 2 1:02:04

I know this is bad timing , but you mentioned someone earlier that looks like me .

Speaker 1 1:02:10

Yes , it was that man from earlier . You didn't expect him to be . You know that . He said his name was Vengor . I was . He looks at you and kind of puts his head down . To be honest , I was . I was afraid . Do you know anything about your kind at all ?

Speaker 2 1:02:31

No , all I know is I had a brother . I had parents Just born away , far from here . You could say it was some sort of a bad land , no form of life .

Speaker 1 1:02:49

There's stories around here in you pink , those born with horns , those born as a curse . They say that wherever they walk , darkness falls . We don't see too many , but we're always wary of them . I just thought that on this joyous day , maybe , maybe it wouldn't affect it too much .

Speaker 2 1:03:17

I am going to use the tech thoughts to see if Elder Chia is telling the truth .

Speaker 1 1:03:24

Read to me what the tech thoughts do .

Speaker 2 1:03:26

Do you sense the presence of the thoughts ? Oh , read thoughts . There it goes . Target one creature you can see with the third fear of yourself that you detected . With the third fear of yourself that you detected with the sense thought options , you learn what is most on the target's mind right now . If the target doesn't know any languages and isn't telepathic , you learn nothing .

Speaker 1 1:03:46

Okay .

Speaker 4 1:03:51

It does have vocal , somatic and material components , so I think an insight check makes more sense here , because you're just gonna cast a spell in front of him , but okay , yeah , so you can still do it if you want to .

Speaker 1 1:04:09

You want to make it noticeable ? Because you would , because you could just say that you say something and you use it . You know , uh-huh , like , it doesn't have to be like a chant . It could just say you say like a word and that's your cue to use it , and for the material cost it could be whatever you have on you , honestly . But if you just want to make like a generic check to see if he's like you know , like just to get like a feel , if he's like how he looks like right now , you can do an insight check if you want . But if you want to dig deeper , go ahead and use your magic , okay .

Speaker 4 1:04:50

So this is a chanting spell , right , Chris ? Yeah ?

Speaker 1 1:04:57

Well , it has vocal components , so you do have to say like words and stuff .

Speaker 4 1:04:58

But I think in the past we've done like a deception check to try and see if you could like pass it off .

Speaker 1 1:05:01

But I'm not sure how jackie wants to do it this time and and you can also just do it , because I've seen like other , like people who played like the podcast and stuff , or other people I listen to . They just do stuff , like they say like , like a word , like an english word , you know , like uh uh-huh they'll just say something like oh , so how are you doing today ? And they say oh , and I cast the technology I see that's like they're . That's like the cue you know , oh okay

Speaker 1 1:05:25

so you can't just do that if you want . I don't . I'm not gonna be like crazy . You don't have to like chant , ancient language , yeah , okay . I just bring it up .

Speaker 4 1:05:35

Make sure it's clarified .

Speaker 1 1:05:37

That's good yeah .

Speaker 2 1:05:42

I'll use more like a Q word To chant detect thoughts . My Q word will be interesting .

Speaker 1 1:05:55

Okay , as you say , interesting , you cast , detect thoughts and um , because you're just reading . You're just trying to read what he thinks about . Are you just trying to read as like the thing at the front of his mind ? He doesn't , he doesn't make any role or anything , right ? Only if you try to probe deeper , right ?

Speaker 1 1:06:13

um , it doesn't say yeah , it says you learn what is on the most on the target's mind right now right as you go into his mind , you , you , you hear him like um , you hear him , he's just very , very concerned about Tassie . You hear him throw the word Vodick around , vodick , those are points , vodick , in the core front of his mind . I knew they were danger . If I just listened to my guts , the village would have been safe . No , no , I can't think that way . But that boy , she said , was right , they saved us . It's like a conflict , you know , like um , he's afraid of you , but he wants to believe that you do mean . Well , that's what you get all right and then um .

Speaker 2 1:07:28

My closing statement with him is I'll just ask question . Ask him a question again , um you said his name was Bangor .

Speaker 1 1:07:37

You said Bangor , yes , but that's what he told me . At least it could be a lie , honestly .

Speaker 2 1:07:46

I remember what he did .

Speaker 1 1:07:47

Yeah , it could have just been a lie . He wanted something from you beats me .

Speaker 2 1:08:02

I couldn't tell first time seeing him . I do apologize if I attracted such omen to your village .

Speaker 1 1:08:13

He said something about the wind's hope . What is that ?

Speaker 2 1:08:23

You know , maybe that's a question for shisui . I don't know much about anything about this village or anything relating to such of wind's hope I don't know why you're here . Just passing through with Wagnu . I'm looking for my brother .

Speaker 1 1:08:57

Wagnu's looking for his village . But please , if you can just help Tossie , I promise that any kind of wrong way of thinking that I have had of you I'll get rid of them . I want to believe in you . I want to believe in you . I want to . I do . We shouldn't be judged by how we look or whether we have horns or not .

Speaker 2 1:09:41

We shouldn't let stories dictate how we feel and how we see the world . Ah , don't worry about it , old man , I'm gonna go to sleep . Like I said first thing in the morning , tomorrow we'll head out for Chamonix .

Speaker 1 1:10:00

Can you also give me a perception check ?

Speaker 2 1:10:02

Alright , bet . Oh my god , oh , I hit a two .

Speaker 1 1:10:10

Okay , you head and you go to sleep , you guys all go to sleep . Everyone's sleeping right now .

Speaker 3 1:10:24

Mm-hmm .

Speaker 1 1:10:25

Damn . The night goes by . Everyone's kind of like , all the villagers are kind of like . You know , putting up incense Like charms all around . Even as crazy as everything was earlier , you do manage to get a pretty good sleep , and the villagers , they tend to all of you , each and every one of you Like either rather changing your bandages or making sure you have like water or food nearby as you three are waking up who would be ?

Speaker 3 1:11:29

the one to wake up first .

Speaker 4 1:11:29

I would assume Wagnu , because he doesn't actually sleep .

Speaker 5 1:11:32

Yeah , I'll wake up first .

Speaker 3 1:11:34

Yeah .

Speaker 5 1:11:40

Yeah , we're all like .

Speaker 1 1:11:42

As you wake up , wagnu , you're the first one to wake up out of everyone like . You look around and all the villagers are like still , either they're like knocked out from , just like tending to all the injurers , or they're whether they're sleeping by , like by themselves . You know , uh , no one's awake . You're the only one awake . What are you doing all ?

Speaker 5 1:12:06

right . So first thing I'll do . So I'm the only one , I'm like the first one awake in the village , kind of huh that's as far as you can tell . Yes , right now , okay first thing I'll do is I'll wake up and see if there's any food in the dash avenueshund world .

Speaker 1 1:12:22

Yeah , you look , you get up right away , you start thinking about food , and right next to you you see rice cakes , you see water , you see some beef dried beef and some pork belly .

Speaker 5 1:12:35

Cool , I'll get some food real quick , I'll eat real quick .

Speaker 1 1:12:39

Okay , yeah , chow down Awesome . Alright , and then afterwards I'll I guess I'll come outside to like kinda assess the village , see like how much damage is done um , okay , so you go outside and as you're going towards the door , you pass by Tossie there real fast and you see that she's kind of like she's moving around now as before . She was just unconscious , she's squirming and she seems to be muttering something under her breath .

Speaker 5 1:13:20

Okay , I'll move closer to her and see if I can kind of pick up what she's saying as you get closer to her .

Speaker 1 1:13:28

Um , how close are you getting to her ? You get like ear to mouth um , not that close .

Speaker 5 1:13:37

Yeah , I wouldn't say ear to mouth but , I'll just you know where I can like hear if she were whispering , not or like mumbling , not like that close okay , it takes you a while , but eventually you start to catch on to something , but in her voice do nothing more do nothing , more do nothing more . Okay , I'll just , can I ?

Speaker 1 1:14:16

try using a Healing spell on him . Everyone does get a long rest , by the way , so go and get a long rest .

Speaker 3 1:14:25

I already did cool .

Speaker 1 1:14:30

You see . You want to use the hill ?

Speaker 5 1:14:31

yeah , so I want to see what happens , I'll use a um healing word on her a creature of my choice that I can see within range or against hit points . Yeah , yeah , I'll just use healing word again on her real quick to see if it helps .

Speaker 1 1:14:51

Okay , you put your hands on her and you use killing word and it goes to her and then you see the same effect that it had before when you used cure wounds the night before . But this time it does seem to be it calms her down a little bit and she stops squirming . So the effects of it doesn't seem to be healing her , but it does seem to be like kind of like keeping her stabilized for now okay and then you proceed to go outside and check out the village .

Speaker 1 1:15:32

Um , as you get outside you see the like the hole where the demon had came out from the rift that he came out from . Um , it's pretty like messy . Just a whole bunch of like , like logs thrown everywhere .

Speaker 5 1:15:49

The grounds all messed up , but aside from that , not too much you said there was like a kind of like a crater where the demon opened up the portal or the yeah , where the demon came out of okay , I kind of wanted to see if I can do this . It's like detect magic okay just to see around the area to see if I can notice or if I'm familiar with any of the magic that the demon's using .

Speaker 3 1:16:18

Let's see .

Speaker 1 1:16:19

Okay , so you use detect magic At this instant . Is there like a feet or like an area ? It's self and 30 feet and you're still by the door right .

Speaker 5 1:16:39

Or are you over by the ? I'm over by the crater , yeah . You're by the crater . Okay , 30 feet , okay , or are ?

Speaker 1 1:16:40

you over by the ? I'm over by the crater . Yeah , you're by the crater , okay , 30 feet , okay , okay . So you start to detect magic and , as far as you can tell what you detect , magic doesn't seem to be anything magical .

Speaker 5 1:16:53

Here you do feel like a little glimpse of magic or something and it seems to be coming from you , but it's very , very weak ooh okay , okay , so there was some sort of magic residue coming from me , interesting , okay , alright , and then I'll go try to wake the others , try to see if um black sky , and uh , she swear awake you go back in and you start to wake the others up .

Speaker 1 1:17:29

How are you doing this ? You open the door loud , or are you ? No , I'll okay . How are you waking ?

Speaker 5 1:17:34

up quietly as to not like disturb tossy . Well then , I'll come over to um she's sweet first , and I'll kind of like nudge him a little bit what is ? It . It's time to go , man .

Speaker 4 1:17:49

They still hurt .

Speaker 5 1:17:50

If only I had a spell for that . There's some food over there , some delicious food . I thought you'd want to get some before your dog gets to it all .

Speaker 4 1:18:00

Alright , I'm getting up Fully healed .

Speaker 5 1:18:05

Go eat , I'll go great , and I'll go over to Black Sky to kind of wake him up . Same way too , like nudge him a little bit .

Speaker 2 1:18:12

Oh , is it morning already . Rise and shine man oh what a good rest .

Speaker 5 1:18:20

Much needed , very much needed , and there's some food over there if you're hungry .

Speaker 2 1:18:24

Nice , I'll take a bite .

Speaker 1 1:18:27

The villagers also start to wake up as the three of you are chowing down on the food . Nearby Elder Chia comes over to you , let's go talk outside and he heads outside first . Want my food ? What do you want ? Comes over to you , let's go talk outside and he heads outside first , if possible , yes .

Speaker 5 1:18:49

I'll follow him .

Speaker 2 1:18:50
