Recap

SPEAKER_10 0:00

This is Jackie. My name is Jor. I'm Chris.

SPEAKER_05 0:03

My name is Kent, and this is wonderful. Last time, you faced off against a vicious bearded demon. Its glaive and tendrils left cursed wounds. But you held strong and brought it down. As a tiefling above the roof tried to leave, Black Sky and Wagnu provoked him. And he lashed back with brutal force. A dissonant whisper from yours truly turned the tide. Afterward, the girl who shielded Shusui's dog, Tasi, was left cursed. Her brother Chi and Elder Chia begged you to find Shaman Yur in the split path jungle. That night, Black Sky attuned further to the wind artifact. By morning, Wagnu heard Tosi's cry, hearing the words Dunoth and Oi. And then proceeded to calm her before you set off. The jungle was slow-going. You met a strange old woman who led you off course. Nitapoda, the witch Chia warned you about. Eventually you found Shaman Yur. Shibuta's soul potus and spoke to Wagnu about the spirit she within him. Black Sky, you completed your attunement, and Shusui learned more about GA's ancient shoulder pad. You returned to find Tashi in agony. The villagers gathered. Wagnu administered the poetess, and the soul-calling ritual began. It nearly failed with a Nat 1 from Sky until Chi's voice broke through. Tassi awoke, healed, and named Shusui's dog Frost. The village celebrated. At Yur's request, he returned to her. She guided you through the jungle to the edge of Zujan Falls, the resting place of the Water Guardian. She warned, Tilai will not go easy on you. And as a spirit tree poses within you, Wagnu, Telai knows you're coming. What you guys see in front of you is two great sheets of water spilling over a cliff. It's uh late afternoon as the sun catches the spray and you see like tiny rainbows in the air. Underneath your foot is damp and carpeted with moss. You know that the water guardian and the water artifact is here. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_08 3:20

Alright, Black Sky. Do you feel any anything or sense anything now that we're here?

SPEAKER_10 3:31

Uh can can I tell by any chance? Like if I like grab my wind artifact, is there any like spiritual or like energy connection? Like do the artifacts like attract each other by any chance?

SPEAKER_05 3:47

Yeah, so you grab your artifact um and you feel like a pole. These artifacts they they do attract each other.

SPEAKER_07 3:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 3:57

But you can't necessarily tell like exactly where it is, but you feel like, oh yeah, it's here, it's near, it's nearby.

SPEAKER_10 4:07

Okay. Uh I grab my wind artifact and I tell everyone that I feel there's some s sort of spiritual energy between the artifacts. Can I try to attune it to see if like the connection gets stronger?

SPEAKER_05 4:26

You go ahead and roll me a let's say let's do like a like an insight check.

SPEAKER_10 4:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 4:34

You're trying to use your s your spear and trying to use your um your connection to the wind artifact too. See if you can you can feel like a stronger connection with the water artifact.

SPEAKER_10 4:44

17. Nice.

SPEAKER_05 4:48

So what is it that you're exactly looking for though? Are you trying to like see where it's at?

SPEAKER_10 4:54

Are you trying to see like No, I I think I'm just trying to see like we're definitely like in search of it, but just off of like uh Wagnew's question, I'm just trying to see if it's like in a sense like a a magnetic compass. Like if it's like pointing at us a certain way, or if like I feel like it needs some sort of like Um traction from it.

SPEAKER_05 5:23

Okay. Um so as you kinda like hold out the artifact in your in your hand and you try to like like feel even more. Suddenly you feel like a you feel like a push behind you, kind of like like like the wind is pushing you, and you start walking. Not not like not by your doing, but like something is pushing you forward and your feet just boots by its own. You find yourself like right in front of the waterfall. Uh like water is splashing at your face now, uh just misty water, and you come face to face with the waterfall and like the pool around it.

SPEAKER_10 6:06

You guys see that? I no I definitely feel something from the wind artifact.

SPEAKER_08 6:15

In the direction of these two giant waterfalls?

SPEAKER_10 6:19

Yes. There's I don't wanna say it's necessarily here, but I think we're close.

SPEAKER_08 6:29

Yeah, this place feels strange.

SPEAKER_05 6:31

Oh, actually, before we continue, uh I do wanna say I don't know if you guys did this already, but I remember last time you guys split like items and stuff, so make sure you have those items in your inventory. You get to remember, then ask Chris right now, because he has the notes.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:48

Cause he was and he was the one that gave you guys the stuff, so make sure you have those in your inventory. Or on a paper or something so you don't forget.

SPEAKER_10 6:54

Gotcha. Yeah, I think uh I think it was between Chris and Jor that had the items.

SPEAKER_00 7:04

Uh let's see.

SPEAKER_05 7:06

I You might have gotten a potion if I burn if I remember.

SPEAKER_00 7:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 7:10

So I think uh I think Jor got the potion because I had the spell, right?

SPEAKER_08 7:16

I had a scroll of calm emotions. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:19

So Jor got the spell and then you got the potion because Jor can actually kill himself.

SPEAKER_08 7:25

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Okay, cool. Now I got it. I was just gonna say, so we're we're standing in front of the waterfalls right now, right?

SPEAKER_05 7:34

Yeah, unless you guys want to be somewhere else. You don't have to be you didn't have to be following Scott, you could be somewhere else doing something else.

SPEAKER_08 7:41

Okay. I do I do want to try

Footprints

SPEAKER_08 7:45

something with the waterfalls too. Since um I wanted to use my detect magic one use per day, just to see if there is um any strong sense source of magic coming from around the waterfall, under in the water, or behind it or anything like that.

SPEAKER_05 8:04

Uh that takes a spell slot or anything?

SPEAKER_08 8:06

It's one use per long rest, is what it says from my Elven lineage.

SPEAKER_05 8:12

Oh, okay, nice, nice. So detect magic. Where are you at right now? Where you where are you doing it?

SPEAKER_08 8:20

I'm standing in front of the waterfall, kinda with black sky, and kinda just um Yeah, we're we're like it's getting misty or where the water is splashing in front of us. Just wanted to sense that there's like a strong sense source of magic anywhere near.

SPEAKER_05 8:35

You cast detective magic. You being so close to the sky, you immediately feel like a very strong presence coming from Black Sky. From the thing he's holding in his hand. You feel like a it feels like almost like a tornado contained. You also feel something you can't explain. Magic that's not like other kinds of magic that you would know about that resonates from the shoulder pad that Shusui has on. And then you feel where the waterfalls are coming down together and meeting. Almost the same feeling as the wind artifact. But instead of a tornado, it feels like a tsunami contained.

SPEAKER_08 9:33

You said where the waterfalls are meeting, right? I'll look at Black Sky and I'll I'll let him know. Like there's a strong sense of magic coming from where those waterfalls are being. I think we should head up there.

SPEAKER_10 9:47

I think with your detect magic and my wind artifact, I think could lead us to the right direction.

SPEAKER_08 9:56

Uh I'll just check to see if there's like a path upwards. Anywhere towards the waterfall or towards the top of the waterfalls.

SPEAKER_10 10:05

Yeah, sounds good.

SPEAKER_05 10:06

Uh go and give me a perception check.

SPEAKER_10 10:09

Both of us?

SPEAKER_05 10:11

Uh whoever's looking first. Whoever's checking for the path. I'll let you make the call.

SPEAKER_10 10:16

Walk me.

SPEAKER_08 10:17

I just rolled the now one, so it's not good. Yeah. Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 10:21

I just uh Yeah, you start you you say that's a sky, you turn around and then you see Shusui and just your your gaze kind of just turns towards Shusui. And uh Shusui, what are you doing right now?

SPEAKER_00 10:33

Uh I'm just taking a look at the surroundings, making sure it's safe. Making sure that we don't get like ambushed while we're looking at this waterfall.

SPEAKER_05 10:43

Uh go ahead and give me a perception check.

SPEAKER_00 10:46

Uh 1721.

SPEAKER_05 10:48

Are you behind the other two right now?

SPEAKER_00 10:50

Yeah. My back is kinda to the waterfall. I'm just while they're looking at the waterfall, I'm just looking everywhere else.

SPEAKER_05 10:58

After everything you've been through, you your your guard is up. Um it's only been a few days, but it feels like you guys to you it feels like you guys have been just been thrown into things after things. Like, it gets crazier every time. You don't know like what's gonna happen next. So you keep your guard up, and as you're looking around, um frost is also kinda like sensing what you're doing and doing looking around with you. You spot some some footprints all around. Like you see some of them are being covered up intentionally. Um they're kinda like just leading into random places. But these footprints are not yours.

SPEAKER_00 11:48

Okay, I uh I just start following them. Not too far. They're still within like yelling distance of the other two, but just trying to see if they actually lead anywhere or if they're kind of just random footprints.

SPEAKER_05 12:04

Okay, you start to follow the one in front of you and you get to a point where these weapons they start to like kind of split. Um some sort some footprints are going this way and some are going that way.

SPEAKER_08 12:20

Alright, I noticed that Shisui is walking kinda like further away from us with my now perception. And I'm like, hey uh what's going on? Where where are you going?

SPEAKER_00 12:33

There's uh there's there's some footprints over here. I'm just checking to seeing if they go anywhere. Making sure uh they aren't ours and whatnot.

SPEAKER_08 12:42

I noticed those two earlier actually. I'm I'm glad you brought that up too. So I also noticed uh I used my detect magic I used uh I detected some magic earlier and uh I felt a very strong magical presence near the tip of the waterfalls or where they touch. Um Do you think uh you can find us a way up there? Or do you think the tracks lead the same way?

SPEAKER_00 13:06

I can take a look. Don't see uh I mean if there's footprints here, maybe they they gotta leave somewhere, right?

SPEAKER_08 13:16

Yeah, I'm I'm I'm s I'm an expert at reading tracks too, but we should probably tell Black Sky. Just in case.

SPEAKER_00 13:23

I mean he's standing right next to you. You tell him.

SPEAKER_05 13:28

You guys are kinda like yelling at each other like back and forth.

SPEAKER_10 13:31

You guys are yelling at each other can't hear because the waterfall is so loud.

SPEAKER_08 13:35

Yeah, I'll let you take the lead, you sweetie. I don't know where I don't know, I lost track of these tracks.

SPEAKER_00 13:42

Uh yeah, uh I guess I'll just look at the tracks and see if one of them seems to be heading towards the top of the waterfall.

SPEAKER_05 13:51

You start following the one that's uh kind of like going towards the waterfall, at least. As you start walking, you you go n get closer and closer to Wagnu and Sky. You see at that the footprint ends like right at the like the edge of where the pond is. Um Go and roll me a investigation check.

SPEAKER_00 14:21

Okay. Uh that is a 19.

SPEAKER_07 14:25

Nice.

SPEAKER_00 14:26

Alright, I'm totally done. My good rolls are gone.

SPEAKER_05 14:33

Yeah. You see that the the footprint ends right where um Sky and Wagnu were nearby. You also see footprints that lead around, and you start following it. As you start following these footprints, you see you look behind where the waterfalls the waterfalls are meeting, right? And you can swear you swear you see like a little opening there or like a little gap there.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

Guys, it looks like there's something behind the waterfall. Let's check it out.

SPEAKER_08 15:11

I run over. Yeah, I run over as well. What'd you find?

SPEAKER_00 15:17

Looks like there's a cave behind the waterfall. And then I'm following these footprints. Uh some of them led straight into the water, some of them led over here, so there's gotta be something over here.

SPEAKER_08 15:29

I'm down to check out the cave first. The water seems dangerous. Same.

SPEAKER_05 15:35

I agree. Where do you have your wind artifact on you, Black Sky?

SPEAKER_10 15:41

Uh I just kinda have it like in my palm, but I'm like holding it like tight close to like my chest.

SPEAKER_05 15:49

It starts humming, uh your whole body starts to like like vibrate almost. Um almost like it's telling you that whatever you're looking for, you're near.

SPEAKER_10 16:03

I feel it. I feel the artifact getting stronger. The tension. Maybe this might be the right way.

SPEAKER_08 16:12

Alright, we gotta be close. Do you think you can guide us?

SPEAKER_10 16:16

I'll I'll try my best. But the cave definitely is the right way, I believe. Alright, here goes nothing. Alright, before before we walk in, is this cave like dark? Like just like a pitch black cave?

SPEAKER_05 16:34

Yeah, from what you can see right now, it's just pitch black. You don't see anything past where you guys are at.

SPEAKER_08 16:41

I think um. Alright, I'll look around for like a tree. Or branches on the ground.

SPEAKER_05 16:54

Uh go and roll me a perception check.

SPEAKER_06 16:57

I got twelve.

SPEAKER_05 17:01

Twelve. You see like a wet branch nearby you.

unknown 17:07

Damn.

SPEAKER_08 17:09

Dang. Alright, I'll pick uh I'll pick it up and try to shake off as much of the moisture as I can. That's cool. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:17

Walk me, what are you doing? You know I have torches, right? Then you and Lock Sky can see the dark.

SPEAKER_08 17:25

Oh yeah, yeah. I just wanted to it's not for us, she sweet. It's for you.

SPEAKER_00 17:31

Yeah, but but I have torches.

SPEAKER_08 17:34

I just wanted to see something.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

No, I uh I came prepared.

SPEAKER_08 17:39

Awesome. Okay, and then I'll uh before we go into the cave, I'll try to see if like the I'll just try it one more time to see if I can feel anything from like the spirit of the forest or the forest spirit that like will tell us anything about the cave. Yeah, I'll try to sense it, I guess.

SPEAKER_05 17:59

Go and roll me a a D100.

SPEAKER_06 18:04

Oh wait, let me it's um it's like two D ten and So I got four and two.

SPEAKER_00 18:20

So six do you not have one like uh oh oh it's blurring.

SPEAKER_08 18:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:26

Or forty two reverse. Yeah, so that one or sorry.

SPEAKER_05 18:31

Four twenty? Four twenty alright, so you got uh forty uh twenty-four.

SPEAKER_08 18:38

Twenty-four, oh I'm I'm tripping, sorry.

SPEAKER_05 18:40

So the the double digits is your double digit once and then the single digits is your single digit.

SPEAKER_06 18:45

Oh okay, okay.

SPEAKER_05 18:46

Yeah, so if you rolled a zero, zero, or zero, and a one or like a ten and then like a zero on the other one, it'd have been a hundred like that.

SPEAKER_06 18:53

Okay. Oh okay. Yeah, so you get thanks, I rolled the twenty zeros.

SPEAKER_05 18:58

Yeah, uh you try to like you know, you try to call onto some kind of energy or power inside of you. Uh you know the thing, you know this thing is inside of you, so you try to like reach deep into it, but you don't get any response back.

SPEAKER_08 19:11

Okay. Alright. It's nothing. I stand there though silently for a moment so that they think something crazy is happening to me. Oh, I just I had a feeling. But I'm ready to go.

SPEAKER_00 19:27

Alright, so uh are you guys gonna lead the way so and uh just uh guide me so we have like the element of surprise and keep it dark, or am I lighting a torch and if there's anything in there, uh it'll see us coming?

SPEAKER_10 19:44

Hmm, I think I would feel better if we have a torch. Just in case if anything happens and you can't see.

SPEAKER_08 19:57

Hmm. Yeah, I agree. We we can just take a torch.

unknown 20:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:01

Alright, does someone want to hold the torch so I can hold my uh sword and shield?

SPEAKER_08 20:07

Can can you see do you have dark vision as well? Can you see in the dark? Yeah, I do.

unknown 20:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 20:13

I can lead the way while Yeah, and then just also you know, dark vision only lets you see like you don't see everything in color, you only see like kind of gray and black and white. But the torches the torch will give you guys like the color and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 20:26

Yeah, the torch is not as good as the lantern. I probably should have got one.

SPEAKER_08 20:32

Nah, it's fine. I'll hold the torches if you want to leave Black Sky.

SPEAKER_10 20:36

Sounds good.

SPEAKER_08 20:38

Cool.

SPEAKER_10 20:39

Alright. You guys ready?

SPEAKER_05 20:41

So what's the mark what's the marching order?

SPEAKER_10 20:43

I am in front for sure. And then I'll let you guys figure out the other two.

SPEAKER_08 20:48

I guess I'll be right back.

SPEAKER_00 20:49

Probably leave me in yeah, leave me in the back.

SPEAKER_10 20:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

I can't see anything anyway. Only see 20 feet.

SPEAKER_05 20:56

Walking in the middle with a torch. Uh Sky in the front and then Shusu in the back.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_10 21:04

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 21:06

Uh Sky, go ahead and go ahead and give me a survival chance.

SPEAKER_10 21:09

Oh, here we go. 17. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 21:14

As you're walking through this cave. Sky, as you're walking through this cave, uh you can't see like super clear in front of you. Because where the torch is being lit, it's right in the middle and so you can see everything around you, but not in front of you. You you still see like in the in like the gray. But with a 17 survival check, you you follow the pull of your of your fragment of your artifact. And you also s you can also like feel like you swear like something's pushing you from behind. You'll look back and see like if anyone's like pushing you, if it's Wagnu or if it's Shusui, but you turn and you don't see anyone. And then you kinda get like a like a sense, oh yeah, like the wind is always around you now. Even where even in a cave like this where there should be no wind, like you are the wind. And you start just walking, following the pulling sensation of your artifact, and you find yourself weird, because like now the whole room starts to change. The cave it's not a cave anymore, it becomes kind of like a like a wide circular chamber almost. You see uh mist curls along the water-soaked floor, and at the very far end you see two arched doorways rise. One on the left glowing with a blue light, and it on the one on the right, it's flickering with like a silver flame.

SPEAKER_10 22:52

Okay, um before I do anything, I'll ask Do you guys see this, Wagner Shisui?

SPEAKER_08 23:01

Whoa, what is it? It's a little dark. I can see you a little, but what is it?

SPEAKER_10 23:09

Here, look let me see the twitch real quick. Pass it over, and then I hold the torch up as high as possible. And I ask again, are do you guys see this?

SPEAKER_08 23:25

And just just to confirm again, it was two large doors. Right. Okay. The one on the left had a blue light, and the one on the right the flickering flame.

SPEAKER_05 23:38

So the one on the left has like a glowing blue light, and then the one on the right has like a flickering silver flame.

SPEAKER_08 23:44

Gotcha. Left blue light. No, no, no worries. I'll tell you what's there's there's two doors. Oh the one on the left is a is a blue light. And then the one on the right has a flickering silver flame. Does that mean anything? Who what do you make of that, Shisui?

SPEAKER_00 24:12

I don't know. I've I mean not even really sure about the place we're at. Don't think I've been over here before. So this is all kind of new to me too.

SPEAKER_06 24:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 24:30

Okay. I just wanted to make sure that we're all in the same place and I wasn't teleported somewhere with the wind artifact. So we do all see this door.

SPEAKER_01 24:42

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_10 24:43

Okay, maybe. Can I cast Talmaturgy? Try and um Brian the flames to the right.

SPEAKER_05 24:55

Yeah, go ahead. Um, is that a catcher? Yes. You cast Talmaturgy and you try to make the silver flame on the right even brighter. At first it resists you. Kind of like almost like your flames, your black flames is trying to corrupt it. It's silver flames. And then you see wind going through your flames, and then your flames just starts to like dance around the silver flames. Your black flames with the silver flame merging together, and it gets brighter. And at this point, you guys can see everything in the room.

SPEAKER_10 26:00

Nice, get going. There's that. Um great.

SPEAKER_00 26:05

I don't see.

SPEAKER_10 26:09

Yeah, it's a bright ass day.

SPEAKER_06 26:15

What did you do?

SPEAKER_10 26:17

Uh you know, just a little usual play from me. Just flames. Flame on.

SPEAKER_08 26:29

Is that the right way? Is that why you chose that door?

SPEAKER_10 26:32

Uh no, no, no. I I actually don't know. I just won't wanted to see if it's a torch, lantern, a light. But I definitely feel that maybe we do have to do something to the blue light.

SPEAKER_08 26:55

Hmm. I'll walk up to the door that Black Sky just um kind of sent his fire his flames to, and I'll try to like push it open. Nice cool.

SPEAKER_05 27:07

Okay. As you get closer, you see like um on top of the doors, you see like etched in the door on the door top. Um something etched there, and it's also etched on the other door as you get near both of them. You still try to push through.

SPEAKER_08 27:30

I want to just make sure if I can understand it at first. Let me see.

SPEAKER_05 27:37

What are the languages that you use?

SPEAKER_08 27:40

I I think my elf lineage lets me like know a lot of languages, but let me just make sure.

SPEAKER_00 27:49

Uh you got common, dwarvish, and elvish.

SPEAKER_08 27:53

Okay, thank you. Common, warvin, and elvish. Yep. Okay. I'll try to read the read the read what it says.

SPEAKER_05 28:04

Okay. You look at the languages, or you look at the etching that's on the doors. Um you tap into your memory, you tap into your the languages that you know, and none of those seems to ring any bell.

SPEAKER_08 28:22

Hmm. Okay. I'll turn around and motion black sky and shusui. Guys, can you guys can you guys understand any of this? And then yeah, I don't want to do something reckless. I'll just call him over. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 28:43

Um is this anything you've seen before?

SPEAKER_00 28:51

Well, unless it's draconic. I've never seen it before.

SPEAKER_10 28:56

You take a look. Because I don't think it's not Elvish. I doubt it would be halfling.

SPEAKER_08 29:10

If you can't read it, we'll do Black Skies method next. We'll burn it down.

SPEAKER_05 29:17

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 29:18

Uh yes, because that that's worked so well so far.

SPEAKER_08 29:22

It yes. I've become a believer in his methods. He has just became ours and go fucking place it. It's our best strat so far. No, just kidding.

SPEAKER_00 29:37

I just can't stop them.

SPEAKER_08 29:41

I do think we have to choose one of these doors.

SPEAKER_05 29:47

Shit so you wrote me a perception check.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

Alright. Uh Nat 20. Take it. Let's go. Nice. Let's go. I'm waiting for my nat one.

SPEAKER_05 30:00

I know. I'm like, okay, that must mean something later on.

SPEAKER_00 30:06

That or it's because I stopped pulling up my notes.

SPEAKER_07 30:09

True.

SPEAKER_05 30:17

Um you turn your your head, but then you get like a like glance and you turn back to look at the etchings. This is a very old language. But it's a language that that everyone in Yuping knows. And you know Exactly what it says. You start reading it on both of the doors. You start from the re uh from the left. It says Left is what you carry. And then your eyes move to the right door. And it says, right is what you leave behind.

SPEAKER_00 31:11

Alright. Uh yeah, sorry, I I guess I uh just needed to look at the uh etching from a different angle. Uh so the above the left door says left is what you carry, and then on the on the right door says right is what you leave behind.

SPEAKER_08 31:38

Uh yes, I thought that's what it said. I just a little rusty on my on yeah. Good, good. So left is what you carry, right is what you leave behind.

SPEAKER_07 31:50

Hmm. Alright.

SPEAKER_10 32:00

Before B move on. Um quick sorry, quick question. How now that the the place is bright and like litten up, are we just is it just like uh still like an empty place and just like two doors?

SPEAKER_05 32:22

Um right as you think that and you turn around, um you don't see the way you came anymore.

SPEAKER_10 32:34

Okay, so as soon as I turn around, oh wait, Wagnu and Shisui. Are you guys seeing this too?

SPEAKER_08 32:44

Yeah, I told you I can read it too.

SPEAKER_10 32:47

No no no, be behind us, behind us.

SPEAKER_08 32:50

Oh yeah, wait. What's going on?

SPEAKER_10 32:54

I definitely think we either teleported or this room is

Sinking

SPEAKER_10 33:00

not what it seems. Or at least this cave. Oh you're right.

SPEAKER_08 33:10

Okay. Well, there's only one way forward then.

SPEAKER_10 33:18

Well shisueth any clue for the right door?

SPEAKER_00 33:23

Uh I'm not really the word for puzzles.

SPEAKER_07 33:29

Left is what you carry, right is what you leave behind.

SPEAKER_10 33:33

Left is the blue light. How how uh how bright is the blue light?

SPEAKER_05 33:43

It's like a like a more of like a dim glow. It wasn't as bright as the solar flame, but with your thermometer, the solar flame was like burning like bright as as fuck. You guys are right, you guys like right next to it and it's like blinding your eyes. Wow, okay.

unknown 34:05

Alright.

SPEAKER_05 34:06

You guys are kinda like just doing this, you know? Yeah. As you guys are by the doors.

unknown 34:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 34:12

Well, I guess there's only one way to find out now. I guess we push through.

SPEAKER_08 34:18

Alright, which door do we go through, Black Sky? What did the flames tell you?

SPEAKER_10 34:26

Okay, before I make a choice, I grab for my wind artifact. And to see if it's like any indication of the doors between one or the two.

SPEAKER_05 34:38

Okay. You take out your artifact and you're trying to see which one is the right door. Which one's the right door? Go ahead and give me an inside check. Let's go, baby. 16. Their pole to your one artifact as you hold it in between both doors. The pole is the same.

SPEAKER_10 35:11

I'm sorry guys. The lead ends here. I think we should be asking ourselves if we wanna take the road with what we carry or what we left behind.

SPEAKER_01 35:32

Hmm.

SPEAKER_08 35:38

Alright. The door on the right looks too dangerous. The door on the left, blue light. Blue lights have been good for us recently. I think we should go down the left door.

SPEAKER_10 35:53

I haven't noticed, but that sounds like a good observation. I won't object.

SPEAKER_00 35:59

How about we try opening the doors and seeing if we can like look through them?

unknown 36:05

Cool.

SPEAKER_00 36:06

Hopefully, like we don't get teleporting as soon as we touch the door or anything.

SPEAKER_08 36:10

As soon as he says that, I walk over to the left the blue door, the left door, and I try to push in as hard as I can. Uh you push in, you go right in.

SPEAKER_10 36:25

Well, oh shoot. Okay. Let it go straight away. I'm going to. I go and push through the door as well.

SPEAKER_05 36:32

Yeah, Scott, you push through, you just go right in.

SPEAKER_00 36:37

Just for the sake of experimentation, I throw a torch through the right door. And then I go through the left door. Just to see what I mean.

SPEAKER_05 36:48

You throw your torch and then you start to walk, and you see the torch just hits the door and then just bounces off and you go inside.

SPEAKER_00 36:57

The left door didn't seem to work. I threw a torch and it just bounced off. You can look at the buttons, right?

SPEAKER_07 37:05

Yeah, left door.

SPEAKER_00 37:09

So yeah, it uh it didn't work, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 37:14

Yeah, your dog uh frost falls right behind you. Um you end up going first and you go through it with the sensation of you try to push through the door, but we when your hand went through, it didn't push through anyone. So you know like that's that's sensational when you tr you expect like a pushback, but you don't get it. And you just kind of go through it and you start like kind of like uh stumbling a little bit. Uh sky falls right after you a little bit and it kind of like runs into you, and then shoots we runs into sky and then the frost runs into shoots we're very like cartoonish, like you know, you know, like a cartoon like how much damage do we take?

SPEAKER_08 38:00

And I'll just get uh no damage.

SPEAKER_00 38:06

Why did you just stop? Couldn't have walked a little further.

SPEAKER_05 38:12

Holy get off me. And you find yourself in a another room, another a smaller and more silent chamber. No doors this time, but at the center you see a a stone looks like a stone bow carved, like in like an open palm.

SPEAKER_08 38:48

And is this this room is um like lit up, right? Like we're not in a dark cave anymore, right?

SPEAKER_05 38:53

Yeah, you guys aren't in a dark uh it's not like a bright light or anything, but it's like a very dim, like blue light, you know. You can see. Okay. You can see just fine.

SPEAKER_08 39:02

Okay. I think we made the right choice. You guys see that?

SPEAKER_10 39:08

Oh, yeah. Definitely interesting.

unknown 39:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 39:12

I'll just walk over to it. We'll find out in the end.

SPEAKER_05 39:17

You said it looks like a kind of like that's frost. That's frost. That's frost, that's frost, that's frost. That's frost. Uh yeah, frost starts barking. Um yeah, looks like an open palm like this. Like my hands are just open like this. Um you start walking and you start to hear a laughter, and then you start to hear weeping. You look you're looking around you and you see the walls around you that kind of like shimmer like like you're underwater.

SPEAKER_08 39:52

Huh. I'll quickly just look over to where Shusui and Black Sky are. Okay, let me s I really want to put my hand on this, you guys. I just don't want us to get hurt from it. So why don't we get closer? Or at least inspect it together so we can before so we know what goes in.

SPEAKER_00 40:21

Yes. But when you touch it, let us step a couple feet back in case you know something happens.

SPEAKER_10 40:28

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I think we should all join hands when Wagnu touches it, 'cause what if he teleports again without us? Just like how he went through the door without us.

SPEAKER_00 40:44

Yeah, but if we follow the logic of the doors, then as soon as we touch it, we'll get teleported to where he went.

SPEAKER_08 40:54

Hmm. Well, doesn't this thing look a little weird to you guys? Yeah, I think if it's a we're in a cave.

SPEAKER_00 41:05

Everything here looked weird.

SPEAKER_10 41:08

Hand reaching out, I don't doesn't look very inviting. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 41:14

I'll take out a skim my skimitar. Okay. And then I'll put the handle of it on the on the object, on the palm looking object.

SPEAKER_05 41:25

Okay. You put your scimitar on the on the bow hand and you look at it and you're like you just go, oh, it looks like a you know like a nice little centerpiece for a table or something.

SPEAKER_08 41:40

Hmm. Alright, I think I'm gonna keep it. And I go and I grab my ski guitar back.

SPEAKER_04 41:50

You grab it back.

SPEAKER_08 41:53

Nah, I thought something was gonna happen, but I don't know I don't know.

SPEAKER_10 41:56

Uh okay, well maybe it requires our physical touch like the door.

unknown 42:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 42:09

I'll reach out my hand and then grab it.

SPEAKER_05 42:14

Okay. You grab it and the walls around you you start to see like a starts to form into like writings around you.

SPEAKER_10 42:32

Uh are we all seeing this or is it just uh yeah, you guys all see this. Okay. Shisui looks familiar again?

SPEAKER_00 42:40

Uh I don't know, there's uh lot of things. Let me let me uh try and see if I can remember.

SPEAKER_05 42:52

You look around Shisui and it's uh the language of Yuping.

SPEAKER_00 42:58

Oh yeah, it's the same language. Let me see if I can uh remember what it says.

SPEAKER_05 43:05

As the ling as the letters are forming um and you start trying to make out of make out of make it out. Um It says on the wall Name something you would leave behind. Say it aloud.

SPEAKER_10 43:26

Okay. I think Chris Chris's PC crashed. But I'm gonna assume to continue this, Shisui is gonna tell us what the rendering on the wall is. Um Do you think we have to all say this out loud individually?

SPEAKER_08 43:47

Wait, what does it say again, Shisui? What does it say again? You read again?

SPEAKER_10 43:55

Name something Name something you would leave behind.

SPEAKER_05 43:58

So sorry actually,

Face Yourself

SPEAKER_05 44:00

sorry. Sorry, I take it all back. You guys I I I read the I read the wrong the wrong door.

SPEAKER_08 44:06

Okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_05 44:06

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Uh take it all back, take it back, take it all back. Alright.

SPEAKER_08 44:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 44:11

Alright, so Shusui actually reads. What weighs the most is what you cannot set down.

SPEAKER_08 44:22

Well weighs the most is what you cannot set down. Hmm.

SPEAKER_05 44:29

Because you guys chose a door that it was a left door, and left is what you carry.

SPEAKER_08 44:35

What do you think that means, Black Sky? I put my skimmitar on there already. I I I I I I I don't know.

SPEAKER_10 44:43

I think it has to be more personal than that. Walk new.

SPEAKER_08 44:47

Did there my skimitar?

SPEAKER_10 44:49

No, I'm just kidding. I think it has There has to be some form of personal connection to such item or whatever that you your that is your most prized possession.

SPEAKER_01 45:08

Hmm.

SPEAKER_08 45:13

Okay. Do you want to try putting anything on there?

SPEAKER_10 45:19

Yeah, let me go first. And then I will take off my platinum ring band, which is um in my background story, these are like pairs of like bands that me and my brother like have each of our own. So I take off my platinum ring band and I drop it onto the palm.

SPEAKER_05 45:44

Okay. You drop it onto your palm. Oh, onto the palm. And you see as the hand kind of goes down a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 45:57

What did you do?

SPEAKER_10 45:59

Well, that's my most prized possession, and it seems to weigh a lot more than your skimitar.

SPEAKER_08 46:10

Hmm. How much are those bracelets worth?

SPEAKER_10 46:21

That's a good question.

unknown 46:25

Alright.

SPEAKER_09 46:29

Eleven.

SPEAKER_05 46:31

Eleven. No modifiers?

SPEAKER_10 46:33

Uh oh, plus four, fifteen. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 46:37

You're pretty good at Arcana. So uh right as you place your silver band on there, something that represents you and someone close to you. And as you see the hand goes down like a scale. You immediately immediately understand that the item you have to put on there must symbolize like a spiritual burden. Not it's not about how heavy it is, but it's about how heavy it is to you. The weight you carry.

SPEAKER_10 47:14

So I I look over to um Wagnu and I tell him this band was a band that I share with my brother. We both have our own. And it's it signifies what my brother and I have been through. And the writing on the wall, it's pretty much telling us whatever emotional guilt or emotional feelings that weighs us down to such prize possession is the key to moving on to the next door.

SPEAKER_08 48:00

But I don't have any guilt. No, I'm just messed. Let me think. I don't want to give up what I think it wants me to give it.

SPEAKER_10 48:14

Maybe I don't want to be trapped to either that you know any resemblance of maybe your village?

SPEAKER_08 48:24

Anything you hold dear Alright, I'll walk up to the to the bull hen and then I'll put puff I'll place my loot gently on it and I'll see.

SPEAKER_05 48:50

What does the loot mean to you, Wagnu?

SPEAKER_08 48:57

The loot lets me make music, and music is my only connection to my home village. And you know, eventually when I find my home village, it's gonna be because of the music that I hear, I'm pretty sure. I don't know, I just don't wanna give up my loot. Just means a lot.

SPEAKER_05 49:24

You put your loot on on the hand, and you see it goes down. You see Shusui come over as well. And you see him put something on there, but you're not sure what it is. And then the hand goes down all the way, and it clicks. Something clicks. Underneath you starts to kind of like rumble a little bit. And you find yourself sinking. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_08 50:05

So we find ourselves sinking?

SPEAKER_05 50:08

Yeah, you're kinda like sinking slowly.

SPEAKER_08 50:11

Okay. Um I'll try to stab my skimitar into the wall, see if I can climb it or if it's even goes deep enough.

SPEAKER_05 50:21

Okay. Uh you stab into the wall and it just goes through it because it's just water. You continue sinking. Shh.

SPEAKER_08 50:31

Oh snap. I look over the black sky. We're we're we're sinking.

SPEAKER_10 50:40

I I grab my wind artifact and I use wind's hope to bend the wind in our favor and try to lift both of us up.

SPEAKER_05 50:53

Okay. Um you use it. And you try to you attempt to bend the wind in your favor. And then the wind goes up and it pushes you down. Oh. It's bending in your favor.

SPEAKER_10 51:16

Okay. So is it lifting us up or is it it's pushing you guys down.

SPEAKER_05 51:23

And you guys just go all the way down now.

SPEAKER_10 51:26

Oh gosh, Wagnew. I think I think this might be it for us. No.

SPEAKER_05 51:34

You say that as you're yes, as you guys are saying that, and you guys are sinking down, and the wind is pushing you to like speed up the process. You guys go all the way down. And then you come and you s you feel yourself like standing on something, but it doesn't feel like hard ground. You open your eyes, you breathe. As if like you guys haven't breathed, as like you're struggling to breathe for a while now, and all the air just kind of goes into your lungs. Um You look around you and it's just uh like a landscape of just water everywhere, and one giant door all the way across We're alive.

SPEAKER_08 52:26

Are you okay?

SPEAKER_10 52:28

Ah, there's you say we're short of breath.

SPEAKER_08 52:36

Definitely. Do you see off in the distance though? Do you see that?

SPEAKER_10 52:44

Yeah, it's it's another door.

SPEAKER_08 52:50

And you said it's surrounded by water?

SPEAKER_05 52:54

So where you guys are standing is just like a uh like a land mass of water. Everything is just water. Okay. You're standing on water.

SPEAKER_07 53:03

My gosh.

SPEAKER_05 53:05

Where Jesus Um, you do look around and you don't see frost and you don't see Shusui anywhere.

SPEAKER_08 53:16

It's just us, Black Sky.

SPEAKER_10 53:19

Just us, huh?

SPEAKER_08 53:21

Well, we gotta find a way back, so I'll start making my way towards the door.

SPEAKER_10 53:28

Yeah, I follow Wagnu, but on the way there, I just um randomly, like here and there you just yell out for Shisui. See if he can hear us.

SPEAKER_05 53:42

Okay. Um you see uh Wagnu running towards the door, it's about like 30 feet from you. Um but as you keep running, it feels like farther and farther and farther. But eventually you reach it, and Sky, you're just yelling out. You hear your like your echo just coming back to you. Um you don't see anything here, anyone here, except for you two and just one giant door. And then you but you guys go both get to the the big old door. What are you guys doing?

SPEAKER_08 54:12

Alright, well. It worked out pretty well the last time. Yeah, let's go. She's sweet might need us. I just run into the door. And I follow.

SPEAKER_05 54:27

You run into the door and you hit the door straight on. And black sky follow and it's not like the other one.

SPEAKER_09 54:35

Oh, definitely not like the other one.

SPEAKER_08 54:40

Alright. I look around to see if I notice any more like inscriptions around the door.

SPEAKER_05 54:47

Um you look around. You don't see any writing. It's just one big white plane like plain white door. You look down your reflection. You try to see if you can see your reflection, and then your reflection starts moving away. Behind you.

SPEAKER_06 55:12

What?

unknown 55:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 55:19

Holy Did you see that? Like Sky, look in the water. Look at yourself. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_05 55:26

I I look down and then Sky, you look down and your reflection starts moving away from you too, but behind you.

SPEAKER_10 55:36

Are you seeing the same thing I'm seeing with my reflection?

SPEAKER_08 55:41

Yeah. I try to get I try to open the door one more time.

SPEAKER_05 55:51

You open the door and it doesn't budge.

SPEAKER_01 55:55

Hmm.

SPEAKER_02 56:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 56:02

Is the door go ahead, go ahead. I was just gonna say, is it is the door reflected in the water?

SPEAKER_05 56:12

The door is reflected in the water.

SPEAKER_08 56:14

Okay, I'll try to reach down to the door's reflection and try to push that.

SPEAKER_05 56:25

As you reach down and you try to get the doorknob or try to push the door from the reflection. Your hand just goes and it stops right there. Um something's pushing back on you at you? It doesn't feel like your your hands going through the water.

SPEAKER_08 56:47

It's solid here, Black Sky.

SPEAKER_10 56:51

Where? Right here. Reach down to to where uh Wagner is um reaching at. Oh.

SPEAKER_05 57:00

You reach down and your hand stops. And then you hear behind you look at you. Two broken pieces pretending to be whole. And you hear another voice. You fight beside each other, but do you know each other's stories? Each other's dreams. You barely know each other's names.

SPEAKER_08 57:36

I turn around and cast firebolt. Chucky where I hear the the voices.

SPEAKER_05 57:43

You turn around and you start your fireboat and you see yourself.

SPEAKER_08 57:52

Oh shit. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 57:55

And we're gonna ro go ahead and row for initiative.

SPEAKER_08 57:58

Oh shit, okay.

SPEAKER_05 58:00

This guy turns around and see himself too.

SPEAKER_06 58:04

Holy uh.

SPEAKER_05 58:06

We're gonna take a little break there. Um something came up, and Shusui Chris would not be joining us for the rest of the session, so it'll just be you two for now. I'm gonna try to adjust as much as I can, but I think you guys got this.

SPEAKER_07 58:20

Alright. No worries.

SPEAKER_05 58:21

So let's take a little 10-minute break. I might we might go a little shorter. Okay. Just because Chris is not here, and um I gotta figure out how I'm gonna do it now. Yeah. So hopefully everything is good with him. Hopefully, nothing's like bad or happening at his house, but uh we'll just see how it goes. Alright, cool. So quick 10 minute break and then we'll come back.

SPEAKER_08 58:38

Okay, do you want to count on?

SPEAKER_05 58:39

Let's go ahead and yeah, Audacity and three, two, one, stop. Welcome back. Um You guys see your reflection disappearing from underneath you, and as the both of you guys try to try to open the door, the door's reflection, um, you hear sp like someone talking behind you. And as the both of you turn around, you see it's you. And that's where we end off, and you guys are not rolling for initiative as you fight against your reflection. So go ahead and roll me initiative now. And I'll roll for the both of them as well.

SPEAKER_07 59:30

That's terrible.

SPEAKER_08 59:33

I got nine.

SPEAKER_10 59:37

I got sixteen.

SPEAKER_05 59:41

Tight. Okay, so the first one to go is um Wagner Reflection. He just looks at you. As you look at his face, you see it's just like yours. But then you see, like at some point it's almost like it's um see-through. And then at some point it just comes back to you in your face, and then like kind of like water dripping down. He looks at you, he just goes. You joke, you smile. You act like it's all part of some story. You're empty, Wagnu. Just noise in a quiet world. Just a mask for someone who never grew up. And that's the turn. Black skies, you're gonna go.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:36

Oh man. Well I will cast my fireball at Merrow Wagnu. And as I'm like charging my fireball up, I just tell them, shut up.

As he goes around you and just comes back to where he where he was before, he's like laughing the whole time. You say you're looking for your village. That you want answers. But you don't even know what you what you do, you find them. Do you? And he stashes you with his scimitar. Uh 13?

SPEAKER_08 1:04:05

SPEAKER_05 1:07:31

As his dagger slices through you, he looks as the blood kinda like splurred out of your back. The wind bends for you because it knows you bring storms. You wear the artifact like it makes you special. But it's just a leash. And then the reflection of Wagnu is gonna go. Attempt to bring his sort of his cemetery around, slash Wagnu too. He rolls a 16. Hits. That's five points of damage. As he hits you, as right as you miss him, he comes around, he slashes you. He just go toja. Everything you do, just better. And he just goes, What are you anyway?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:13

Okay, remind me what that does again.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:15

So you can try to temporarily sliver the mine of one creature you can see within the range. The target must succeed on an intelligence saving throw or take uh psychic damage and subtract one d4 from the next saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:29

Um as you do that. Ratch has mind sliver and it fails, you see it just kinda goes right past the reflection. Uh Wagnew just Wagnew's reflection just laughs at you. Anything you want to do?

SPEAKER_10 1:09:41

No, that's uh that's it.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:46

Okay, gotcha.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:56

Uh Wagnew is there, go.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:58

Alright. Dang, this is gonna be tough. I got an idea, Black Sky. But you're gonna have to give me some space, alright? Okay. I'll try to draw their attention, you give me some space, and once you see the Once you see the cue, you hop back in, and believe me, you'll know what it is. So then I will try to I can disengage, right? As an action?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:23

You can disengage, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:24

Uh I'd say fifteen feet.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:35

SPEAKER_08 1:10:41

Okay. Cool. And I can't I can't use like an attack on my bonus. Alright, but yeah, then I'll uh I'll just end my turn there, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:53

As you disengage from your reflection um before you get too far, um your reflection just laughs at you. Just you're not chosen, you're you're convenient. A warm body with a seed planted in your chest, and you're too weak to carry it where it needs to go. Black sky, your reflection casts mind sliver on you. Go ahead and roll me a intelligence check. Oh, saving throw. Has to be a 15. I mean a 13.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:28

You're fragments. Regret, denial, and cowardice stitch into a traveling cloak. He turns around and he disengages and goes over here. About like ten feet away from you guys.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:11

And then when my reflection tells me that, I just I tell him, You're just a phony. You're a fake. You wanna be me so bad. And then I will disengage as well. I will walk exactly.

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:40

You know what this you want to do, Wagnew?

SPEAKER_08 1:14:43

Uh no. I can real quick I'll read you the Bardic Inspiration Die just so you know what scenarios you can use use it for. It's uh what it says here is once within the next hour, when whenever you fail a d20 test, the creature can roll base the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number to the roll total. Okay, but yeah, that'll be the enemy. That'll be it for me.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:03

Black Sky's reflections turn. And he's just gonna disengage. And as he disengages, he just looks at you the whole time, Black Sky. You didn't forget the bliss. You buried it then. You buried everything and called that healing. And he just ends his turn. Uh Wagnu's reflection goes he crackles energy in his hand and he sends a fireball towards Wagnu. So 16. 8 points of fire damage to you. And then for his bonus action, he casts Bardock inspiration on Black Sky's reflection.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:44

Mmm.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:48

And he just goes, he yells out to you, uh, Wagnu. Just smile! That's all you're good for, isn't it? And that's Sky's turn now.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:04

Alright. And then I further disengage.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:08

You can just move, you don't disengage, you can just move now. Yeah, I can disengage take some action, so be careful.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:15

Yeah, I I I I I move like about like ten feet back more, and I yell out to Agnu. I think I'm seeing a pattern here.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:25

Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:27

And then I look over to my reflection and I tell him I forgot about the bliss. I am the bliss. I'll burn anything in my way if I have to. And I just charge up my firebolt and like I just start like like chucking it everywhere, even though we're like surrounded by water.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:52

Uh roll me a a D100. So uh the 10 and the double digit ones.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:02

Alright, my first D100 in the game. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:06

Oh god.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:09

A 20 and a two.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:10

20 and a two? Twenty-two? Okay. Yeah, you start to just send your flames everywhere. And as you do this, as you're yelling out, I am the bliss, something inside of you kinda like stings. You start to feel different. You start to feel like you don't believe your words. Or maybe you do. But something's hurting you inside. And you feel the wind that pushed you before kind of just moves back a little bit away from you, detaching itself from you. You hear your reflection, yes. You are the bliss. So stop trying to be something you're not. You're not a protector, you're not a hero. Anything else you want to do?

SPEAKER_10 1:18:02

No, I'll end my turn there.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:04

Walk new as there we go.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:06

Alright.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:09

Hmm. Big thing here. I could potentially fuck this up for us.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:16

Go crazy. He's the X Factor.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:21

Okay. I'm gonna Okay, I'm gonna walk up so that I'm I'm not in a I guess I'm not in attacking range. I'll be like five feet away. From both of these guys, I guess.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:35

Okay. Five feet is pretty much standing right in front of them.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:38

Oh shoot, okay, okay. Actually.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:39

Yeah, so you say like ten feet.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:42

Cause one square is five feet.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:44

Oh, okay, okay. Let me stand like right here then. I guess I'll go to I'll go up to Black Sky's Reflection. And I'm not gonna go right, I'm not gonna go do the five feet then. I'm just gonna walk up ten feet. I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die yet. I'm just gonna stay like at least far enough where I can't get swung on. Yeah. Alright, and then I will actually. Can I drop my weapon?

SPEAKER_06 1:19:14

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:15

Alright, and I'm gonna drop my weapon. My skimitar.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:18

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:20

Black sky. I don't think we can beat these guys by just fighting them head on. But let me see something, and then I'll just end my turn there.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:28

Black sky's reflections turn. He sees you drop your weapons. He turns towards black sky. And he sets the whole place on fire. And he's gonna try to row a D100 and see what he gets. As he sets as he sends his black flames across the water, it dissipates before it even goes up. Sky, what you see as he sends his back flame, you see the wind that was attached to you that he detached from you blows it out. He gets like a confused look in his face, and and then it's uh Wagnus reflections turn. He moves up a little bit, about five feet, and he drops his weapon, sky turgo.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:16

Ow. And then when I see the wind blows out um my reflections uh flame, I tell him again, you see that? You're just a phony. You think you know me, but you don't. And then once again I try to flame uh I try to raise my flame with the wind this time. Yeah, but I'm just like taught like taunt him. I'm just like yeah, I'm just taunt him.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:46

Okay, uh you can either roll me intimidation or persuasion.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:52

I will do.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:54

And you don't have to tell me which one.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:57

Okay. Alright. Uh D20, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:20:59

Yeah, D20.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:01

14.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:02

You raise your flames in your hand, your hand outstretched into the sky. Your name rings in your head, black sky, and you create your black flames as the wind artifact swirls around you. Or the wind from the wind artifact swirls around you. You get glimpses of memories that aren't yours. You get glimpses of GA. You hear his voice in your head. You carry the wind artifact now, you can't just be going everywhere burning things, you know that, right? He puts his hands on your shoulder, is what you feel. It's not really there, but that's what you feel. You're not a bliss, you're not disaster, you're free. You're the wind. And you raise your hand and your flames erupt. And it just creates like a tornado of black flames around in the sky. And your reflection just looks, and he just goes, Then who are you?

SPEAKER_10 1:22:04

I never said I was a hero either. I just want to be me. I am Black Sky. I am myself. And I'm showing you this right now. And then I further use the wind artifact to make the tornado bigger to envelope the air and turn turning it into like pretty much like the black sky.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:26

And you go to 14 earlier, right?

SPEAKER_10 1:22:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:30

What do you want your reflection to feel?

SPEAKER_10 1:22:32

Uh I want my reflection to feel that it's not really me. Like, like black sky as myself, like I truly understand my my own self and my intentions and my character.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:48

You see him sit down as you make the sky black. Wagni, you see the sky just turns black. He sits down, he puts his dagger on the on the water, then tell me who I am.

SPEAKER_10 1:23:01

You're nothing but a reflection.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:03

And you see him just melts. Water dripping all over him. And he just goes. That's your go? Yep. Wagnu, it's your go.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:14

Alright. I will walk over to my reflection. And then and since I have no no weapon in hand, and I'm pretty sure you threw its weapon down as well, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:23:25

Yeah, I did.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:27

Okay. And then I'll just talk to it instead of fighting. At first, when I first saw you, I thought I thought I was more shocked, but I realized I was angry. I hate looking at you because you remind me of family I never had, a village I had never lived in. And at some point I realized I can't beat you. I can't win by fighting myself. So I don't know who I am. I I might be an alpha, might be a human, but I know for sure I come from a village of music. A village of bards. And I let that music I channeled that music, I let it I let it heal my allies, empower them, and I let it make me stronger. Which is why I'm not gonna fight you. I don't know what I am really, but I know that the spirit of the forest trusted me. And so I'm gonna do what I can to heal the forest and find my village.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:31

Roll me a persuasion check. Advantage.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:34

19.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:35

You see your reflection just looks at you and smiles. Your smile. Puts his hand out like he's uh asking for a handshake. Your name is Wagnu. And don't forget. Don't forget to smile. That's all you're good for. You shake his hand? Or you leave him hanging.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:56

I'll shake his hand. I reach out, sorry. I'll reach out and shake his hand, sorry.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:02

You shake his hand and he just disappears into the water below you. And then the door in front of you opens. A bright light washes over the both of you. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_08 1:25:15

First, I'll look over the black sky. Are you ready?

SPEAKER_10 1:25:19

More than ever.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:20

Cool. And then the door is still here too, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:25:24

Mm-hmm. It's just uh it's open now, it's just a like a bright light.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:27

Okay. Cool. I walk in full of confidence.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:33

As you walk through it, you hear in your head to pass, you must give a part of yourself. What will you leave behind here? That's how you fall in through, or are you just watching him go first?

SPEAKER_10 1:25:45

Uh I'm going through too.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:46

So you both hear this.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:48

Do I Yeah, do I have the loot that I I put on the Yeah, do we still have our stuff earlier?

SPEAKER_05 1:25:54

You have everything you have. Okay. Your loot's still a few, your your band is still a few. Um this part here though, is not necessarily an item. You can give anything. You can give a gear, you can give a memory, you can give maybe a spell, maybe an emotion, anything. But just know that whatever you give, it's gone forever. What's going through your character's mind right now, both of you?

SPEAKER_08 1:26:22

Ah I'm I'm I don't wanna give up things. I'm like, man, I don't wanna give up my loop. I don't wanna give up I don't wanna think I don't wanna give up the money either.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:36

Think deeper. It doesn't have to be materialistic. Oh god, Black Side.

SPEAKER_08 1:26:44

I gotta think about this. That's so hard.

SPEAKER_10 1:26:47

I I think I think I know it. I'll give up though.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:51

Do it.

SPEAKER_10 1:26:52

Giving up my black flames.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:54

Hmm. And as you try to spark your flames, it just comes out a regular red, yellow, orange hue of fire now. What's going through Sky's mind? What's um what went through your mind when your reflection disappeared?

SPEAKER_10 1:27:15

Um I think for Black Sky when he saw that reflection, it was more a testament to to himself that he knows himself better than anyone else. And he knows that he's a tiefling and he knows his history, and he knows that there's like rumors out there about him, but none of those are true, and at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter to him because he knows who he is. And like you said earlier to the reflection, and when LDGA touched um his shoulder, tell him that he's not the bliss and he's not the disaster. That guy doesn't necessarily disagree either, but he still stands on his statement that he's not a hero, he's just himself, and him giving part of that flame away, the black flames, just represents that even though he doesn't have the black flames anymore, he's still black sky, like the flames doesn't make him who he is.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:24

The wind that attached the self suddenly feels attached to you again, and it pushes you forward, your feet not even moving, you just float and you go through the door. And also give yourself an inspiration point for a later use. So, what the inspiration point is is if you ever roll something and you fail, you can just say, I want to use my inspiration point, you can reroll. Nice. So yeah, write that somewhere or you can write it somewhere just so you remember. It stays until you can have you can only hold on to one at a time. So if you don't use it, it just stays there forever, but you can't gain like another one. You can't get two. What's going through your mind, Wagnu?

SPEAKER_08 1:29:04

I I'm thinking uh I'm just thinking about the watch item to leave behind, but after seeing Black Sky's decision, it inspires me. So I'll I'll leave my loot. I choose to leave my loot behind.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:21

What does it mean to you to leave your loot behind? To leave the way you make music behind?

SPEAKER_08 1:29:27

It it sucks because it's like I'm a bard and music is important, and my loot is basically my musical instrument, my tool to create music. But as I kind of like face my reflection here, I I start I'm more so like now I'm thinking more like it's the loot is just an instrument, it's just a tool, but the music is is what I choose to carry on, it's what I choose to continue to sing and play. So I'm not gonna lose the music of my village just because. Because I lose my loot. I just gotta carry it on with me. And yeah, I'll give it up.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:06

As you give up your loot, you also feel something being taken away from you. All of a sudden it feels like your fingers don't remember how to play the loot anymore. If you had proficiency with a loot, you no longer have proficiency with a loot. And the both of you as you step through, the light comes in, and you find yourself in another room. The ground. Water? Or is it blood? The door behind you as you look wasn't open. In front of you, you see figures five. You see something glowing up ahead. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_08 1:30:56

I'll call out to the figures. I'll call out like hey.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:03

As you call out. Um the figure from up ahead. He turns around. You guys got here a lot faster than I think. And it's the voice of the T flame that you fought just a couple days before. Black Sky and what was your name again?

SPEAKER_08 1:31:27

Shusui.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:29

Shusui. You guys see the the other members around are all like cloaked up. But I'm afraid you're a little too late.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:41

We've done desecrated the shrine. You're standing in a holy place. Or it was holy. Now it's just raiding.

SPEAKER_08 1:31:55

What have you done? And then I started charging up my fireball.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:59

Teli was so proud once. You should have seen him. Like a river made flesh.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:07

Now he'll eat you without knowing your names.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:14

Can I make out any of those other figures?

SPEAKER_05 1:32:17

Um their faces are covered. Uh you guys a little too far, but you know that they're wearing similar a similar cloak to uh the Tiefling that you guys met before, and you know his name to be uh Van Gor.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:30

Van Gor. Okay. And then they are You think we can take him, Black Sky?

SPEAKER_10 1:32:35

We've done worse.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:37

Alright. I usually would go in a little reckless, but after what we just been through, I just lost a lot. I paid $60 for that loot. I mean 60 gold for that loot. So I don't wanna I don't wanna lose anything more. Let's let's at least figure out what happened. They said T Lai something about him being a river made flesh. That sounds dangerous.

SPEAKER_10 1:33:02

Yeah. And I can't tell if this is blood or water. Yeah, but it's red.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:12

Alright. Let's forget what we can from them. Slowly. I'll slowly approach.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:20

Ah yes. Vingor looks at you, vlogging you.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:25

Susui was it?

SPEAKER_05 1:33:27

That's right. Weren't you weren't you the one that requested we fight when you're at your best? Also right. So are you at your best now?

SPEAKER_08 1:33:38

I am pretty I am pretty strong right now, but uh you know what I meant when I said that was a one-on-one kind of deal, and simply because we aren't one-on-one here, I think we should save that for later.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:52

As you guys approach a little closer, you see uh Vengor still like pouring some kind of fluid just around him into the pond in front

Change

SPEAKER_05 1:34:00

of him. Um as you guys get closer you see it's like a red gooey fluid.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:06

What are you doing?

SPEAKER_05 1:34:08

Some call it desecration. I call it evolution.

SPEAKER_08 1:34:15

Evolution.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:16

SPEAKER_05 1:35:04

You guys are so good. So Wagner, your first, uh, sky, and then I'm doing these goofs right here as mobs. So um so what I'm doing is you see them as one on here only, but they're actually like a lot of them here. I said I said about four or five only, but it's actually like ten, twenty of them here, but I'm just doing doing them as mobs. Alright, so one of them is probably like five of them together. So they have like a shared HP, shared attack, just like one number like that.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:31

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:32

Yeah, you guys are all you guys are all first. So uh Wagnu, you're going first. What are you doing? You see Alright.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:43

We'll say three. Five's a lot, five's a lot. We'll say three.

SPEAKER_08 1:35:48

Alright, real quick, I'll look over to Black Sky, and then I'll tell him. Just as a precaution, try to stay about 15 feet away from me. Or keep it 15 feet distance from me. Always. Alright.

unknown 1:36:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:36:05

And then I'll touch him. Keep that in mind. And cast heroism. Because uh I need to be able to touch him.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:11

And then for him again.

SPEAKER_08 1:36:14

He is imbued with bravery, and then until the spell ends, it says Um The creature is immune to frighten condition and gains temporary hit points equal to my spellcasting ability modifier at the start of each of their turn.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:30

Ooh. Alright, what do you feel right now, Black Sky? As Wagner touches I'm sorry, could you explain it again?

SPEAKER_08 1:36:38

A willing creature you touch is imbued with bravery. Until the spell ends, the creature is immune to the frightened condition and gains temporary hit points equal to my sp or your spellcasting ability modifier at the start of each of their turn.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:49

So what's your what's your equal to your HP, right?

SPEAKER_08 1:36:51

My spell casting modifier.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:54

And that one is I think it's a four, I believe.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:58

Yeah, yeah. Plus four.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:00

So you get Yeah, at the start of your turn, next turn, when it's your turn, next you get four temporary hit points. Okay, okay. That's for a minute, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:37:07

Uh let me confirm that. Yep, up to one minute.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:11

Sheesh.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:13

That's ten turns, so you can get pretty much hella HP.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:17

Cool.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:18

Well, it it doesn't stack, so you'll always get like four back every time.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:22

Four extra. Yeah, yeah. Go nuts. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:37:26

I will still create a little bit of distance between us too.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:37:31

There you go. And uh that'll be it for me.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:34

Alright, Sky. You get uh what does it feel as uh bravery overcomes you and you get four temporary points?

SPEAKER_10 1:37:41

SPEAKER_05 1:38:00

Seven tiles about like uh 35 feet. 35 feet, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:04

So I will cast dissonant whispers on our first um mob.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:14

Okay. Um what's the saving throw I gotta beat? I gotta what I gotta get saved.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:21

Thirteen.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:22

Thirteen. I gotta eight. Um so you cast dissonant whispers, you start whispering to the minds of the one uh the one in front of you, the mob in front of you. And they look at you and they're terrified of you. They start like running away as far as they like as they can. They just scatter. Thirty feet away.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:43

Alright. And then they also take uh damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:45

How much damage?

SPEAKER_10 1:38:47

It's like a it's like a they give off like uh when they see you, they're like feared, they're scared of you. They run and you continue whispering to their minds, and you see one drop to the ground. The other two looks at them, they get even more afraid. They run and the other one drops, and the other one drops, and they're all down, they're all dead.

SPEAKER_10 1:39:32

Cool. Uh and then I'll just create some space between me and uh Wagnu, like say let's say Wagnu move 15 feet already, already? So I'll do like an extra I'll do an extra 10. So I'm like 25 feet away.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:48

Uh first mob, they're gonna just rush at try to get as close as they can to Wagnu. Wagn you see like three cult members, coaches just comes up against you and they kind of like try to mob you with three swords. It's a roll attack for one. Uh they were uh 13.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:07

Um the other ones are gonna go after this guy over here, and they just gonna go five, ten, fifteen, twenty six, three. Not quite there, but they uh run as fast as they can. They're kind of still in motion. Uh this one just kind of gets into range and looks at you, and Vanguard just laughs. Like he's just having fun watching this. What's a display of power sky? Top of the order. Wagnu your go. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_07 1:40:48

Hmm, alright, alright. Let me see.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:51

SPEAKER_05 1:41:04

If I try to yeah, they will they will get opportunity to attack because you're they're right in front of you right now.

SPEAKER_08 1:41:09

Okay, okay. Dang, okay, fine. I'll I'll attack this guy. I'll attack them in front of me. I'll try to swing at the mob in front of me.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:15

10 plus Also because we're doing the mobs right now. Uh we're doing this rule, it's it's just kind of like a it's not really homebrew. I don't think it's homebrew anymore, but it's just a thing now. So when it kinda like when it comes to mobs, we're doing like a thing called cleave damage. Where if you kill someone, or you you kill like one of the m um one of the creatures in the mob, right? Whatever excess damage that you you still have, it goes over to the next creature in the in that mob.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:41

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:42

So that's why yeah, that's why uh black skies, all three of their guys dropped, because his excess damage was enough to kill all three of them, like that.

SPEAKER_08 1:41:49

Okay, okay. That's alright, that's super awesome.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:52

Yeah, so go you can just roll and do your thing.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:11

And you cut down one in front of you, and the other two seize it as you cut him down, and they get kind of like a little more their guard goes up. Anything else you want to do?

SPEAKER_08 1:42:23

Uh no, no, it's okay. It'll be opportunity. I'll just end my turn there.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:29

Okay. Sky is your go.

Um, I think dissonant whispers give them gives like allows you to attack them when they move too, but I'm not sure. I don't remember if that one gives you like allows the opportunity attacks, but for this instant, we'll just say it does. So Wagnu, you want to roll to attack?

SPEAKER_02 1:43:45

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:46

I forgot if it does or not, so I'm not gonna look at the roles right now, so just we'll just say it does for now.

SPEAKER_08 1:43:50

It's just 12.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:51

Uh 12s are AC, so you're good. Um as they start to run away from you, one of them just kind of like drops to the ground and gets up and scurries away, and then all of a sudden you see him just kind of like fall right in front of you. Uh the other one sees his his member, coach's member, just falls down and he gets up, and you bring your sword around, and as he tries to run away from you, he like he just kind of arches back, and that's something as something enters his mind, he just stops in place, like in place.

So I unleash a wave of thunderous and thunderous energy. Each creature within a 15 foot cube originating from me makes a constitution saving throw. And on the failed s on a failed throw, the creature takes two d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from me. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only. And then in addition, unsecured objects that are entirely within the cube are pushed 10 feet away from me. And the thunderous boom is audible within 300 feet.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:17

SPEAKER_10 1:59:42

So just the usual, you know, give him a little taste of the psychic burst. Okay. I just chuck my sorcery burst of psychic abilities towards him, and all he sees is just like his head like starting to like shrivel up and get it compressed.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:59

Yeah. Yeah, he his head compresses and just poof and he just falls to the ground and he's dead. And Van Gor just looks at you the two of you. And this time when you look at him, you see he was like grinning the whole time. And all of a sudden he's not grinning anymore. Instead his eyes go wide. You can't tell if it's like if he's afraid or if he's in awe. He puts his hand out outwards and he just goes to lie. Rise everything starts to shake around you. The ground starts to split apart. And water erupts from the ground. You hear an ear-splitting roar. You see what seems to be like a head that comes out from the ground. And it flies all the way up. This is big. Like a serpent, a snake. You look. It has scales. Gleaming. The colors of the rainbow. Water starts flowing in from every from every direction. And Van Gor just kind of lets himself get washed away by the water. And it comes towards you. Both of you guys wrote me a uh dexterity check. Saving throw.

SPEAKER_08 2:01:22

I got 23. Oh 22.

SPEAKER_10 2:01:25

Nice, I got 20. 20? Nice. Uh with modifier. With modifier.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:28

You guys kinda just like try to stand your ground as the water rushes over you and you get pushed with the Wagnu, your your chest starts to burn a little bit. Uh black sky, you're being kind of held together with your wind artifact. It's keeping the wind around you stabilized so you're not like moving everywhere. And you see like a it looks like a like a rock kind of just floating by. And you guys are kinda like just getting pushed by the current. And the both of you can grab onto this rock if you want.

SPEAKER_10 2:01:58

Yeah, I'll do that. Same, same.

SPEAKER_05 2:02:01

Yeah, you guys grab onto it, you guys get on top, and you guys get pushed out. Now you guys are out of the out of the cave. You see yourself outside now. You're on like a makeshift raft, just the rock, and rainbow over you. You hear a roar. Sounds like a thousand raging rivers. You look around to see where it's coming from. You go past and you see the the waterfalls that you were at before. And now you are on like a river. Flowing down. And all of a sudden a head peeks out from the water. The head of a dragon. Your wind artifact poses softly. Not like a warning, but in recognition. Walking through your the spirit tree inside of you starts to almost kinda like un feels like it's unraveling inside of you. And then for a moment everything is still. You see Stardust, you see rainbows all around you in the mist. And then you think back to everything you just endured, the trials, facing yourself, your doubts, your prides, your fears. And in their place, something stronger has taken root. You lost something, but you also gained something. You saw yourselves and still chose to walk forward. The raft drifts on. But you are not the same wanderers who entered the cavern. You have been changed. And when you next stand, the world will feel smaller. And you greater. You both reached level four. That's what we'll stop for tonight.

SPEAKER_09 2:03:55

Dude. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 2:04:00

You didn't die. I get close a lot of times. I get close.
