SPEAKER_03 0:00

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back, Wanderers. It's me, Jor.

SPEAKER_02 0:06

It's Jor, it's Jackie here. It's Black Sky here. Mischievous dude.

SPEAKER_05 0:12

It's uh Chris here, playing peacefully.

SPEAKER_03 0:16

Yep, ready to get back into some adventuring.

SPEAKER_00 0:21

Hell yeah, it's that time, man.

SPEAKER_03 0:23

Ready to do more damage than frost this time?

SPEAKER_00 0:27

I don't know. I I feel like I feel like that that dog is the main character, honestly. You guys are just like uh tagging along. He's the one. No, he's the one from Yupaying, he's the one doing it.

SPEAKER_03 0:41

He was the main character the whole time.

SPEAKER_05 0:44

As long as it's combat, he has he got it, man.

SPEAKER_00 0:47

Just yeah, you know, it's like in the JRPG, it's just you guys are the one tagging along. It's just like you guys are the main characters. He's the main character. He's the uh silent protagonist. Yeah. Let's just get into it then, yeah. Wagnu in Black Sky. After you uncovered the surprising truth that Mammu, the blacksmith, turned out to be the daughter of Silver Fist, you decided to visit the caged monkey spirit to ask more about the mysterious golden staff. But when you returned to the place where you were once imprisoned, you were shocked to find Shusui locked inside, disoriented, confused, and with no memory of how he ended up in Kaesh. After freeing him, though nearly setting him on fire, the three of you turned your attention to Hotali, the monkey spirit. Hotali confirmed that the one who had taken the staff was none other than Elder Sorfiz himself. With the help of a fellow dwarf, you managed to reach the chambers of elders and to persuade Zorfiz to lead you to the to where the staff was being kept. Sky, you decided that the instant that there might be danger, having the wind artifact back was crucial. And so you visited Mammu again and disrupted the forging process of the artifact. With a Nat 20, you were able to remove the artifact from the forge, something deemed impossible and dangerous. Hours of travel through the walls of Kaiash brought you to a massive crater. There, Silverfist admitted that he had thrown the staff down into its depths for safekeeping. Without hesitation, Sky Yu jumped straight down. Shusui Yu being the cautious one, stopped to ask if there was anything you should worry about. Silverfist warned that dangerous creatures lurked below, and swift it revealed that one of his arms was in truth a makeshift prosthetic. With that grim warning, Wagnu and Shusui followed suit into the molten depths. Amid swirling heat and volcanic fumes, you found the place where the staff had fallen. But before you could approach, a blazing fire elemental erupted from the darkness, and for the first time in a long while, the three of you fought side by side again. Shusui struck the final blow, ending the fight in a single precise motion. With the threat gone, Wagni Yu stepped forward and played Telai's whisper, the dragon horn flute, to cast identify. The staff shuddered and began to grow. It expanded far beyond the creator's mouth. Then you all heard the sound of drums, and with that followed by a tremor.

SPEAKER_03 4:11

Did you guys feel that too?

SPEAKER_00 4:13

Uh yeah. Wagner, you uh you had cast to identify last session.

SPEAKER_04 4:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

As you cast identify through your through your horn, I mean through your flute, water starts to fill your hearing. Every sound muffled. Uh it sounds like when you're under water and you can kind of hear a little bit. Through the distortion comes a calm voice. It's distant, but you can still hear it clearly. You hear it says to you, This staff bears the mark of the world's root. With that, you know that this staff is known as the golden staff of the world spine. It's a quarter staff and requires atonement by a monk, druid, or sorcerer. These are the abilities, mechanically, these are the abilities that you know. Um, it grants a plus one to attack and damage. It can grow or shrink five to sixty feet. When it grows, it creates a tremor. And it cannot be atoned while it belongs to someone else, even if it's far from them. The last thing is it can root into stone and become immovable. So that's all the information you get with your identify spell.

SPEAKER_03 5:46

Awesome. Alright, and that was all from uh my identify cast, right?

SPEAKER_00 5:55

Yes. So that's all before the um the the sound of drums started playing, and you all heard, all felt like a tremor where you're at.

SPEAKER_03 6:06

This staff. This staff is I can't even begin to explain.

SPEAKER_02 6:12

You said staff, huh?

SPEAKER_03 6:14

It's yeah, but it's it it's from something even stronger and more more ancient than I can even imagine. Wait. Black Sky Aren aren't you a sorcerer?

SPEAKER_02 6:32

Yeah, but this looks a little too big to be a staff, if you ask me.

SPEAKER_03 6:39

Right, right. I think you should try to. I don't know. I think you should try to to touch it, to take hold of it.

SPEAKER_02 6:50

Yeah, I mean, if you say so. Alright, and then I will Yeah, I will try to s grab the staff with my bare hands.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

Okay, um, this staff is like super big, and as you go to just touch it, what as soon as your hand makes contact with the staff, the staff just suddenly shrinks to the size of like almost like a baton. Ah, and it just drops to the ground.

SPEAKER_02 7:23

Okay, yeah, no, I I didn't do that. I mean, can it grow on demand, Wagnu?

SPEAKER_03 7:31

I'm not sure, but I can't tell a lot from it. Doesn't seem to speak to me. Why don't you give it a try?

SPEAKER_02 7:40

Alright, I'll I'll pick it up and like swing it around like a stick.

SPEAKER_00 7:46

Uh you pick it up and you start swinging it like a stick, and to you it just feels like a normal stick. Um, give me a Arcana check. First row of the game, baby.

SPEAKER_03 8:02

Let's go. Arcana check. Nice, it's a unnatural 22.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

Unnatural 22. Okay, nice. Uh with a unnatural 22, you understand with your identify as well that the staff's magic has withdrawn itself in order to protect itself from something nearby.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

Hmm. That's weird. It's kinda like the staff uh has a mind of its own or something. And kind of like it's scared of something. Huh. That's neat.

SPEAKER_02 8:44

Then we should just use it as a compass.

SPEAKER_03 8:48

Wait, that's a good idea. Um hold it up. Do you feel any sort of energy coming from anywhere?

SPEAKER_02 8:56

Now just hold my hand as high as possible.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

You hold it and to you it just feels like uh another like a little baton or another stick.

SPEAKER_02 9:08

Yeah. Um surely nothing. But what if what if we go back to the monkey?

SPEAKER_03 9:20

Oh, that's a good idea. Before we go, um I'll cast detect magic just just to see if I can like get a sense of um any other like magical energies that's causing this.

SPEAKER_00 9:35

Okay. Um that's a level one spell slot, right?

SPEAKER_03 9:38

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 9:40

Okay. You cast detect magic, and you obviously feel the magic coming from the golden sapph that Sky is holding. You also feel a similar magical feeling that you're at this point you're used to feeling on your body. Um coming from the direction that you had the opposite direction when you the three of you had fallen through.

SPEAKER_03 10:12

The opposite direction of where we f we had fallen through, huh?

SPEAKER_02 10:15

So from the top? Pretty much the city.

unknown 10:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:20

Yeah, so you know how you the three of you fell through the top, and then you went one direction. So the opposite direction of that, you feel something similar, familiar.

SPEAKER_03 10:29

Hmm. I'll I'll let Black Sky know too. I I feel something familiar from that direction where we came from. We should check it out.

SPEAKER_02 10:42

Yeah, I mean. Well kind of feeling though. I mean, considering there's a lot of stuff on this. Is it the spirit tree?

SPEAKER_03 10:54

The fragments. It feels more in line with the spirit tree, but I can't say for sure.

SPEAKER_02 11:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:03

Honestly, there's only one real way to find out.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

You're right. I mean, if we're done, we should definitely head up.

SPEAKER_00 11:09

You're uh I you're detect magic, it's 30 feet, right? Yep, 30 feet. Let me just double check real fast. Maybe I gave you the wrong information.

SPEAKER_03 11:17

Oh, okay, okay. No worries.

SPEAKER_00 11:19

Okay. Uh it's a little too far, but I will still say that you feel something faint with this uh what I said earlier. Okay. So it's not as strong as I I first described it, but you can feel like a faint.

SPEAKER_03 11:34

Yeah, it feels faint from here, but bring the bring the stick. Let's see if we can amplify this feeling.

SPEAKER_02 11:42

Yeah, let's get out of here. It's uh it's a little too hot for everyone, besides me, so. No point in staying.

SPEAKER_00 11:49

Okay, you the three of you make your way back to um where you had jump across to get to where the staff was. And as you get here, Wagnu, you do feel the pull and the feeling from earlier. It's a little stronger now, it's getting closer.

SPEAKER_03 12:09

That feeling back, Sky, it just got it just got stronger.

SPEAKER_02 12:13

Huh. Is it coming from where we fell?

SPEAKER_03 12:18

I think so.

SPEAKER_02 12:20

I mean Yeah, let's let's safely cross this gap.

SPEAKER_03 12:27

Right, right.

SPEAKER_02 12:29

Yeah, let's uh let's get across first and we'll figure it out.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

Yeah, I'm gonna try to to make this jump again.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

Okay. Uh give me a acrobatics check to jump over.

SPEAKER_03 12:43

Eleven. Oh god. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

Well, for 11 you jump over. Uh barely making it, but you do make it over.

SPEAKER_02 12:53

Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

You guys need to beat a 10 to jump over.

SPEAKER_02 12:57

Let's go. Let's go. Oh my god. I rolled a nat one.

SPEAKER_03 13:08

Uh shit. The first nat one. It's all good. We get it hourly.

SPEAKER_00 13:12

Uh oh, Sky, for nat one, you begin to step forward, and before you can even try to jump, like the ground underneath you gives, and you find yourself just falling down, and now you're holding on to the ledge with Shusui just looking down on you.

SPEAKER_02 13:33

I'm okay. I'm okay. I I just slipped. Okay, I'll I'll use my wind art artifact and cast Featherfall.

SPEAKER_00 13:41

Okay, so the way Featherfall works is if when you're falling from somewhere, it helps you make kind of like you just kind of float down instead.

SPEAKER_02 13:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:49

So you wanna float you wanna float downwards or you wanna pull yourself up?

SPEAKER_02 13:53

Is it like do I have to fli float downwards or does it just like uh slow down like my descent?

SPEAKER_00 14:00

Uh it slows down your descent.

SPEAKER_02 14:03

Okay. Yeah, yeah. So right now you're hanging on.

SPEAKER_00 14:06

Yeah, right now you're yeah, can you cast it just in case? You're also holding on to the ledge.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

Yeah, yeah. Um I'm okay. Just I I'll just do the little hill pierce this way.

SPEAKER_03 14:17

Yeah. Can I help him out? Can I help him up?

SPEAKER_00 14:20

You can, but you're on the other side, so it depends on what you want to do.

SPEAKER_03 14:24

Alright, I can't do too much on this side. You gotta get up. Please, at least throw me the staff.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

Yeah, you see that uh you see that when Black Sky uh slipped and fell down, he like frantically casts his featherfall spell just to be safe. He's like, oh shit, he just casts this. Uh and he's asking for help in Shusui and and Frost is just looking at him.

SPEAKER_03 14:52

Extend the staff this way. I'll I'll pull you up by the staff.

SPEAKER_01 14:58

I don't know how that's possible. I'm hanging on kind of the the ledge here. Sui.

SPEAKER_00 15:06

You might be muted, Chris. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 15:09

Nah. He's on the other side, right? I can't do anything to help him.

SPEAKER_00 15:13

No, he's on your side.

SPEAKER_05 15:15

Oh, he's on my side? Oh. Yeah, yeah. Uh I'll I'll go and try and help him out.

SPEAKER_00 15:24

Uh okay.

SPEAKER_05 15:25

Yeah, I thought he actually made it to the other side. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:28

Uh what's your what's your strength modifier? What's his strength?

SPEAKER_05 15:32

Your minus one, huh?

SPEAKER_00 15:35

Minus one. Uh last guy's not a small guy, man. So yeah, go and roll me a a strength check. Athletics check. This dude's a LeBron James. So 16, okay. Um you go and you do struggle a little bit. You never really had a ch like a chance to look at Sky closely, and while you're pulling him up, you suddenly feel like his whole weight. But thanks to his featherfall ability, there's like a little push, and he does it does help you manage you you do manage to bring him up back to the um back on top.

SPEAKER_02 16:14

Uh gosh, uh slippery roads, slippery rocks. More in lava. Yeah, let's let's be careful here.

SPEAKER_03 16:28

Yeah, yeah. It's not an easy jump to make.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Okay, let me let me try again. I shake off the dust. I stretch a little bit. Alright.

SPEAKER_03 16:39

I'll stand by the edge too, just in case, to help in case.

SPEAKER_02 16:42

I mean, I get in a three-stance position. Ready? Get set? Go!

SPEAKER_00 16:49

Nice.

SPEAKER_02 16:50

16.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

Alright, this time you're prepared. It's kinda like you've warmed up already, so now you're good, and you jump over.

SPEAKER_04 16:57

Boom.

SPEAKER_05 17:00

Well, uh, I rolled for my jump and uh for uh Frost jump earlier, and uh it was not good. Uh Frost got a 14 and I rolled in that one. Oh my god!

SPEAKER_00 17:13

Yo, this is gap and modified, it doesn't matter. It's gap is yeah. You see as uh when Sky was getting ready to jump and he jumps, Frost is like right behind him just following him. And Shusu, you're so you're so stunned at everything that Frost has been doing, you know. He's been doing so good. And as you ready to start to jump, you find yourself on holding on to the ledge that Sky was holding on to. How'd you guys vote for Net1? That's good.

SPEAKER_05 17:44

I don't know, man. I saw it, I kind of cry.

SPEAKER_03 17:49

You guys never stretch. That's why never stretched.

SPEAKER_02 17:52

That's the problem.

SPEAKER_03 17:54

Alright, the real question is Are you going back to the other side to pick him up?

SPEAKER_02 18:00

Uh I can. Alright. I'll try to cast elementalism first and do beccaneer.

SPEAKER_00 18:10

Beccaneer. What does that do?

SPEAKER_02 18:12

Um you created be strong enough to rip a cloth, stir dust, rustle leaves, and close open doors and shutters. All in a five foot cube. Is that even wait, is this even five foot? Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 18:25

Is there a range to it? So five foot is like pretty much your square, but oh it's uh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:31

It's 30 feet, actually. We're good.

unknown 18:34

We're good.

SPEAKER_00 18:36

Yeah, so you can reach uh Shisui.

SPEAKER_02 18:39

Okay, nice. And I yell over Shisui, get ready! There's a little live now, cast Beccaneer.

SPEAKER_00 18:49

Nice you could deny yourself, but it's okay. Yeah. You can as Buccaneer and Shisui, use you for yourself like something pushing you from uh from below you, and you climb yourself back up to back on top.

SPEAKER_05 19:06

Yeah, man, that was it was terrible. If it was anything else besides that one, what passed.

SPEAKER_03 19:13

I'm weak.

SPEAKER_00 19:14

Uh Shusu, give me a perception check too, by the way.

SPEAKER_05 19:18

Okay. Uh 16.

SPEAKER_00 19:22

16. Um, as you're holding yourself up and you're being pushed from under by Black Sky's spell, um, your eye darts towards to like the left side of you, and you notice that on by to your left side from your where you're climbing, you just go over there. The distance, the gap is not as wide, and it'd probably be a little easier for you to go across.

SPEAKER_05 19:46

Yeah, I I'll I'll move over and then I'll I'll try again. Watch it be in that one again. Terrible times. Uh 24.

SPEAKER_00 19:58

24, yeah. You go and this time it's your usual self. You just go over there, you start just uh hopping around, and you manage to get over to the other side.

SPEAKER_05 20:07

Alright, let's get out of here before anything else happens.

SPEAKER_02 20:11

Let's get out of dodge.

SPEAKER_00 20:13

Alrighty, so once you guys get back to where you had fallen down, uh Wagnew, now you feel that pull across that bridge that you guys didn't take last time, which is right there where you're at right now.

SPEAKER_03 20:26

There it is again. That feeling. Is it?

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Was there anything else you guys wanted to do before you move on to the next area? Nope.

SPEAKER_03 20:36

Yes, I wanted to take a short rest or something.

SPEAKER_05 20:43

I mean, I don't know how you guys are doing right now, but I mean, I don't think we will take a short rest in this volcanic area.

SPEAKER_03 20:50

Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't think these conditions are like you guys lead the way off the bowl.

SPEAKER_00 20:58

Alright, so as soon as you cross over the bridge and you take that that entrance, uh, you find yourself in a more enclosed area. You from where you are, you can obviously see that there seems to be two paths. Uh one to your right and one just straight ahead. And then in the center in front of you, there seems to be like a few um uh pillars of magma volcanic pillars, and also seems to be like another little gap with just lava magma flow flowing through.

SPEAKER_02 21:40

Oh lord. Where are we?

SPEAKER_03 21:44

I don't know, but I I still trust this feeling.

SPEAKER_02 21:48

Um also don't know. So is this yeah, is this just like a a a visual thing, Jackie?

SPEAKER_00 21:58

Uh so what's

SPEAKER_02 22:04

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00 22:05

So right now with um with the lighting from the like the magma and stuff, uh you can see pretty good. You just can't like I would say you can't see like too far. So anything within like um 15, 30 feet of uh 20 feet in front of you, you can't be see pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 22:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 22:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 22:22

But you can obviously see that there's the two directions. You just can't see like over here, like too far ahead.

SPEAKER_02 22:27

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:28

See. Another fork in the road. How do you guys feel about going on the roing forward?

SPEAKER_02 22:36

I mean, forward is definitely the way. But like I said, we could we could just use the staff as a compass. Wherever it draws us, I'm down to go towards that direction.

SPEAKER_03 22:51

Yeah, do you feel anything?

SPEAKER_02 22:53

Any uh I'll pull out the staff.

SPEAKER_00 23:00

And lean it forward. Scott, you pull out the staff. Uh I need you to give me a an insight check.

SPEAKER_02 23:07

Bam, 15.

SPEAKER_00 23:09

Uh, with the 15, as you pull it out and you try to like see if it'll pull you anywhere, you know from what Wagnu has told you that this is obviously a magical artifact, like magical weapon or item. Um but being someone who is well adept and magic as well, you know that because you are not attuned to this item, you're not able to use it in the way that you wanted to. So it's you right now as you're waving it around. It's just a normal stick.

SPEAKER_02 23:42

Well, none much. I guess I'm not really attuned to it. Um and that's just gonna take time, so. Whatever you're feeling, Wagnu, I think that's the best direction to head toward.

SPEAKER_05 24:01

Yeah, I mean it's a 50-50, you get away, so.

SPEAKER_03 24:05

Alright. Let's march onwards. I don't trust that right turn. That lava that pool of lava.

SPEAKER_02 24:11

Alright. Where would we go?

SPEAKER_03 24:13

Take the straight path.

SPEAKER_00 24:15

Alright, so what is your marching order? How are you guys doing this?

SPEAKER_03 24:19

You guys wanna do our classic, our classic setup?

SPEAKER_00 24:22

Yeah, we can do our classic setup.

SPEAKER_05 24:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:26

Fair warning, you guys, I'm I'm I'm also like one tap. So you're one tap so I just I will yeah, let's Oh shit. Yeah, okay. Alright, so Shusui, you gonna lead us forward?

SPEAKER_05 24:41

Yeah, I'll take the lead.

SPEAKER_03 24:44

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

SPEAKER_00 24:46

Alright, Shusui, uh before you start leading them, um, what's your passive perception?

SPEAKER_05 24:55

Uh 14.

SPEAKER_00 24:57

14. As you kind of get ahead of Wagnu, you notice with your passive perception, like on the corner of your eye, on the walls, there seems to be like like markings, etchings on there.

SPEAKER_05 25:11

Hey guys, uh you you see that on the wall? Uh why don't we take a look at it since we're down here? Maybe it'll give us some clues on how to get out.

SPEAKER_03 25:21

Or what my wanna see if I can recognize the language or anything.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Okay. Uh does anyone know Dwarven?

SPEAKER_03 25:33

Yes, I do.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

You do? Nice. Yeah. Um so as you approach these markings after Shusui tells you about it, you start to see in the Dwarbin writing how it talks about how dwarves would come down here as a rite of passage. You also see below those, you'll see like names of the dwarves, or names of those who has come down here. And the one that stands out to you the most is a name that goes by Silver Fist.

SPEAKER_03 26:23

Alright. I know for sure this is dwarvish. Um. And then I'll kind of motion over to Black Sky and choose. Like this part here says that it's something of a a trial or rite of passage. And here are just a bunch of oh, these are names. I recognize this one. This is Silverfist.

SPEAKER_02 26:52

Huh. Silverfist, huh? Quite a quite a famous guy in the city.

SPEAKER_03 26:59

Yeah, he must have been here.

SPEAKER_00 27:01

Should so he also give me a history check too as well. Uh eight. Um, with an eight you re you just recall the warning that Silverfist has giv had given you before the two of you jumped down to follow Black Sky. Take out the notes.

SPEAKER_05 27:17

You really didn't want us coming down here. Maybe he uh he knew more than he let on.

SPEAKER_02 27:22

Uh I I don't know. He's giving us mixed signals. First he hides his saf from us. Doesn't want us to find out about whatever this is. And then he lets us down here. I don't think he I don't think he thought we were gonna make it out.

SPEAKER_05 27:45

I mean that's possible. Or he could just be testing us. Since he is concerned about uh that the black dawn. Could be checking to make sure we're actually like capable of taking them down.

SPEAKER_03 27:57

Three of us are way more capable than him.

SPEAKER_02 28:00

Yeah, I mean if he really wanted to help, I don't. There's a lot of better ways than this. But I mean is there anything else you can make out, Wagner?

SPEAKER_03 28:13

I'll look at the I'll look at the writings on the walls one more time just to see if I can notice anything other than the name.

SPEAKER_00 28:21

Okay. Give me a investigation check.

SPEAKER_03 28:24

Twenty-one.

SPEAKER_00 28:25

Twenty-one, okay. You start to just kind of move along with the writings to the side a little bit. Uh you move to your left, and as you're moving down, you start to see more names, and then you start to see like burnt fingerprints, burnt um splashes of what seems to be like burnt blood.

SPEAKER_03 28:56

I'll bring it to Black Sky and Shisue's attention. These are all markings and dorvish, but this this is This is blood.

SPEAKER_02 29:08

Blood, you said?

SPEAKER_03 29:10

SPEAKER_00 31:03

As you get closer to the center of where you're at, you notice that the magma in the center, the little magma pool of magma, it's starting to like bubble up. A little bit more natural.

SPEAKER_03 31:20

Alright, I'm traumatized now, so I just pull out my skimitar. You guys see that? Anyone else see that?

SPEAKER_00 31:55

Ten minutes?

SPEAKER_00 31:57

Um as you get as you're approaching this and you're seeing this, you do detect a little bit of magic.

SPEAKER_03 32:03

Alright, that wasn't that wasn't just regular lava. Something I can feel something coming from there. I'm actually gonna throw a fireball there. I'm gonna throw my fireball just to be sure.

SPEAKER_05 32:16

It's lava.

SPEAKER_03 32:17

I'll start charging up the fireball anyways. Um no no elemental sneaking up on me this time. I'll throw a fireball into the lava pit.

SPEAKER_00 32:27

Okay, uh, as you throw the fireball in, you see as your fireball just kind of like uh it just zaps into the magma and it it spashes a little bit, and then you see like smoke, steam comes off of it. And all of a sudden you see something crawl its its way out of the magma and jumps on to the ledge right the platform right in front of you. You also see another one from behind it come out as well.

SPEAKER_03 33:03

Oh snap.

SPEAKER_00 33:05

And I'm gonna need you all to roll initiative.

SPEAKER_03 33:08

SPEAKER_05 33:54

You know, fire, lava.

SPEAKER_03 33:56

Oh my fireballs are different.

SPEAKER_02 33:59

Yeah, lava is like milted rock. Burning rock, actually.

SPEAKER_00 34:05

I mean damage wise, it didn't do anything, but yeah.

SPEAKER_05 34:10

Oh, I'm prepared to do half damage this whole combat too.

SPEAKER_03 34:16

Oh lord. Cool.

SPEAKER_00 34:18

Okay, Shusui. As you see these two um fire-looking winged creatures come out from the magma in front of you. Um you are first to back. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_02 34:33

Wait, Wagnu, can't can you speak to them? You just use Tillax whispers. Speak to them? What do you mean? I mean that there's some form of creatures.

SPEAKER_03 34:46

I'm not gonna try that right now.

unknown 34:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 34:48

Wait, if you have done this, you can try talking to the fire elemental, right? Uh yeah, so I guess I'll just draw my ring here and then I'll just uh attack the one that's closer.

SPEAKER_00 34:59

Okay, you're attacking the one to your left side?

SPEAKER_05 35:02

Yes. Uh 10?

SPEAKER_00 35:04

10 to hit does not hit.

SPEAKER_05 35:07

I will uh I'll just use my bonus action to second win and heal up a little bit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:14

Good idea. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 35:17

Uh heal for 10 health. Nice. And then that's my turn.

SPEAKER_00 35:20

Alrighty, and then you see Frost is behind uh black sky. Frost. What is Frost doing?

SPEAKER_05 35:25

Yeah, he's just gonna charge forward and attack the same guy. Uh 14. 14, 14.

SPEAKER_00 35:32

Nice.

SPEAKER_05 35:32

We'll just see if he crits. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_00 35:36

He's already turning you guys his whole time. He does a fresh nap 20. That's good.

SPEAKER_05 35:43

Uh 9 damage.

SPEAKER_00 35:46

9 damage. Okay. It comes in uh bite attack, right? And you see as frost bites into this fire elemental looking creature, and it takes 9 damage.

SPEAKER_05 35:59

And uh it's medium or smaller, right?

SPEAKER_00 36:02

It is a yes, small creature.

SPEAKER_05 36:05

It is also now prone.

SPEAKER_03 36:08

Nice.

SPEAKER_00 36:09

Nice.

SPEAKER_05 36:09

And that will be uh be frost as turn. Alright guys, jump him.

SPEAKER_00 36:13

Alright, Sky, it's your go. You see us Frost just runs past you, bites onto onto this creature, and takes it down to the ground. Oh gosh. Is it like passed out or dead? It's prone, so it's just uh in order to get up, it has to use half its movement to get up. But I believe any attacks against it, any melee attacks against it is uh advantage.

SPEAKER_02 36:39

I see, I see, I see. Okay. Um you know what? I will leave that to Wagnu, and I will climb up on this boulder or jump actually. Climb? Jump?

SPEAKER_00 36:59

You can jump or climb. Okay, for say climb for you.

SPEAKER_02 37:04

Yeah. Bam, right here. Oh. Oh, where'd I go? I disappeared.

SPEAKER_00 37:13

I see. Uh just move your map a little bit and you can see yourself. Move the green diamond up button, see yourself a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 37:20

Okay. Uh okay, okay. Oh gosh. Oh yeah, that's where I want to be anyways.

SPEAKER_00 37:28

Okay, that's like uh that's a good like what 10 feet up? 15 feet up?

SPEAKER_01 37:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:36

I would say in order for you to jump up that high, um, it'll take all your all of your movement. That's pretty high jumps. But for flavor, your wind, your wind element artifact helps make it easier.

SPEAKER_02 37:52

Okay. So I'll come up here and I will cast my spell so I don't hit anyone. Nice. Okay, so let's see. I will cast chromatic orb. Wait, no, I can't. Never mind. I can't cast cast chromatic orb. Alright, we'll just do the good old magic missile. Classic magic missile. Never misses.

SPEAKER_00 38:18

Alright. And you're doing to the one in front of shoesle, right?

SPEAKER_02 38:22

Uh no, I'm doing doing it to the I'm actually gonna attack the one in the back. Okay, the one that's prone already. Uh no, the one further back. This one here? Yeah, yeah, that one. Okay, perfect. Okay, so magic missile you create three golem darts, each dark strikes to the Okay, that's so that's one so f uh 4d4s. Let's go. 4d4s, man. 4, 2, 2, that's eight, 11.

SPEAKER_00 39:00

Let's go. 8, 11. Nice. Uh your magic missile comes out and it just strikes onto this one in front of you, in front of Shusui. And you see it just as it just pierces through him, it's taking quite a bit of damage. And I'll end my bonus action.

SPEAKER_02 39:17

Ah, I'll just end my turn.

SPEAKER_00 39:18

Okay, Wagnu, it's your go.

SPEAKER_03 39:21

Cool. I noticed the prone uh creature um right next to me, so I'm just gonna go and swing at it with my rainbow blade. Nice. Bro, it's a net one! That's crazy!

SPEAKER_00 39:34

Uh you take out your reborn for rainbow blade and just swing down and it just clicks clings right next to it instead. Makes a very nice, like, colorful sound though.

SPEAKER_03 39:50

Guys, be careful, these guys are good at dodging. I'm just gonna uh heal myself with second win for a bonus action.

SPEAKER_00 40:01

Smart idea.

SPEAKER_03 40:05

Oh nice! Okay, so I heal for nine.

SPEAKER_00 40:09

Okay, get nine hit points back.

SPEAKER_03 40:12

Cool, and then I'm just going to Yeah, that'll just be it for me. I'm not gonna die.

Okay, uh the one that was knocked prone earlier is gonna use his movement, half its movement to get up. And it's gonna try to swing its claw at Frost or taking it down. See, it kind of snars a little bit. That's a unnatural 20 to hit.

SPEAKER_05 40:39

Yeah, that'll hit.

SPEAKER_02 40:40

Eight damage, yeah. You go after it, you slash it the like behind its back as it uh it was trying to as it slashes frost, you slash it, and it takes eight damage. Uh it looks pretty beat up now. You can see like the the fire on its body start to kinda die out a little bit.

SPEAKER_05 41:56

Yeah, so frost has uh one hit point and uh the creature has zero movement speed for the rest of the turn.

SPEAKER_00 42:04

Nice. Also give me a perception check, try to see with that.

SPEAKER_05 42:13

Uh 19.

SPEAKER_00 42:14

19, very good. Um when you slashed it, you see as like the fire in its body kind of dies down, and you see it kind of come back up, and it's kind of going back and forth, like lighting up and dimming out again.

SPEAKER_05 42:29

Not sure what to do with that.

SPEAKER_00 42:31

With a 19, I would even say that um it seems as if it seems as if it's kinda like uh counting down.

Uh with 10 points of damage, you manage to strike it down, and you see as the markings of like the flame on its body starts to go out and in, out and in, and then you hear out the hissing sound.

SPEAKER_05 43:52

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:58

Yeah uh go ahead and give me a group investigation check. 15. 13. Okay, that's pretty good. Um you start to look, you know, tired out, you start to look around and try to find a spot where you can just sit down where maybe it's not as hot. Where there aren't. Like it's like a little uh area where it's not so close to just the magma, and you come around and you find yourself on the other side, opposite of where you had first entered through. And it seems like over here, it's more um it's away from the little magma stream right there. It's still hot here, but it's compared to everything everywhere else, it's a little cooler where you can kind of just sit down for a little bit. Spend like an hour here, take a short rest if you want. Let me see.

SPEAKER_02 52:54

Anyone's too big to get through.

SPEAKER_00 52:59

That's all the funny.

SPEAKER_02 53:01

God damn. There we go.

SPEAKER_00 53:04

And don't forget that you can hold down shift and it'll teleport your character without moving it. Oh yeah. Easier way to move. Okay. Um, you guys start to kind of just sit around this this area right here. Um, is there a particular way you guys are doing this? How are you guys resting up? Is there anything else you want to do while you guys are taking a short rest?

SPEAKER_02 53:28

I think we're all pretty spent. I think we're just power nap type behavior.

SPEAKER_03 53:36

Well, let me see that steak one more time.

SPEAKER_02 53:41

Okay. I'll head over.

SPEAKER_03 53:43

Alright, I'll take it into my hands. And then one more time before the short rest, I will I'll just try to see if I can feel like um any I'll see if I can attune with it basically. I'll see if I can get any sort of like magical uh essence from it.

SPEAKER_00 54:02

Uh give me a just give me a um Arcana.

SPEAKER_03 54:09

19.

SPEAKER_00 54:10

19. Okay. You sit down with the staff in your hand and you try to attune it attune to it how you would how one would attune to like a magical item. And as you're doing this, you recall back to your identify spell. How it said that the staff would not it's not like you one would be wouldn't be able to attune to the staff if if it already belongs to someone already. And with that, you also recall that um Hortali, the monkey spirit, had asked you to go find his staff.

SPEAKER_03 54:46

Alright. I'll give it back to Black Sky. Nah, nothing. Not getting anything. But I just remembered our monkey friend in the cage said that this was his staff. Well, when I was talking to it in the monkey language, I know you probably didn't understand. But you should probably Yeah, I figured.

SPEAKER_02 55:13

I think it's it's the best thing to do as of now is to get out of here and get him his staff.

SPEAKER_03 55:20

Right. Well, I'm pretty spent. I'm ready for my short rest. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 55:26

Is are you is anyone taking a watch? Or you guys just all taking the short rest together? I think it's just like a short rest, so so a short rest is about an hour.

About an hour? Okay. Um I I I could I could watch. I'm just I'm half HP.

SPEAKER_00 55:42

So what you guys can do is you guys can have one person watch, and the two can do the short rest for one hour, and then the next hour with the next person can do the short rest for one hour.

SPEAKER_05 55:50

It's fine. We'll just have Frost watching HP to recover.

SPEAKER_00 55:56

If you guys want to yeah, you guys want Frost to watch, that's fine too. Yeah. I'll do that to watch her.

SPEAKER_03 56:02

Have Frost watch, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 56:04

Okay. Alright, I'm down with that too then. Alright. Uh you guys start to sit around and Frost is keeping watch. Frost, give me a uh perception check.

SPEAKER_05 56:15

It's fine. He has a plus five to perception.

unknown 56:19

Nice.

SPEAKER_05 56:20

Uh 15.

SPEAKER_00 56:21

15. 30 minutes go by. Everything seems to be okay. And as it starts to approach the the one hour mark for your short rest. Um the three of you do get your short rest. And Frost starts to sense something coming from the magma stream that you had fought those male fights from earlier. No melfits. So everyone do get their short rest.

SPEAKER_02 56:53

Nice. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 56:56

Nice.

SPEAKER_02 56:57

Do we heal when we take a short rest?

SPEAKER_05 56:59

Yeah, you can use your hit die to heal. Up to your level.

SPEAKER_00 57:04

I didn't know that. So right now You guys are four level four, so you guys can expend as many hit dice as you guys want to heal. So yeah, four hit dice. So if you only need to use one, you can just use one hit die, so you would just roll like one d8. But if you need more than that, you can roll like two, three, four, d eights. Stuff like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 57:22

I didn't know I can use it my fighter hit die or my barred hit die.

SPEAKER_00 57:26

Yeah, you only get one fighter hit die.

SPEAKER_03 57:29

Yeah, that's cool. I I I just thought I had only the barred ones.

SPEAKER_02 57:33

But I'll take it. So do we do they recharge later on?

SPEAKER_00 57:38

Uh they recharge after a long rest. Yeah. Get them all back.

SPEAKER_02 57:41

Okay. Alright, I will use two of my hit die then. So one d6. D6 plus three for each. Wow, nice. Nine. Eight, seventeen.

SPEAKER_00 57:55

Wow. That's crazy. Nice. Yeah, you should be able to get your HP back. It's just the spell slots that might be a little attack team for you guys. You guys need all the all the abilities that require like short rest, like um, I believe like second win and stuff too. Take a short rest. Yeah, so you guys get all those back.

SPEAKER_03 58:13

Oh wait, it is? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 58:16

And your uh Bardic inspiration, I believe, too.

SPEAKER_03 58:20

Can you finish a short rest? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 58:23

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 58:26

Bardic inspiration. Um Dang, it just is four times for long rest. For Bardic inspiration.

SPEAKER_00 58:32

Oh, for the Bardic? Ah, dang. It's okay.

SPEAKER_03 58:35

Dang, okay. Yeah, but okay, one second wind back. I like that.

SPEAKER_00 58:39

Alrighty, so you guys finish your short rest. Um with that, you choose what you notice that frost is starting to growl in the direction of the the magma stream from earlier. How do you want to proceed?

SPEAKER_05 58:52

I'll uh I just informed others I go. Hey, uh Frost is uh sniffing something out over here. Might be another enemy, might just be something causing a ruckus. Uh, if you guys are good to go, I'll take the lead and uh we'll go check it out.

SPEAKER_02 59:11

That sounds good. Sound good after that rest.

SPEAKER_05 59:13

And then I just start heading over.

SPEAKER_00 59:15

Okay, as you start heading over to where the stream is coming from, um you right as you get to that center where you had fought earlier, you fe all three of you feel like a small tremor. You kinda lose your balance just for a little bit and then you find your balance again. Sky and Wagnu, you start to feel a small pull coming from this way, coming from right in front of you.

SPEAKER_03 59:48

You guys feel that?

SPEAKER_02 59:50

Uh yeah, I feel that alright. It's uh definitely not coming from the staff, but it's definitely something else.

SPEAKER_00 59:58

Guy, you start to feel a tug from your wind artifact.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:03

Huh. I think I think it's something else. Wagnu. Do you feel that with your water artifact?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:14

I feel something. And I'll throw a fireball into that pool of lava. Just in case.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:23

Yeah, the wind you can see your fireball and then go.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:26

Yeah, your fireball goes down, and luckily for oh, give me a survival check. Or give me a luck check. Survival? Lug check. A straight, a straight, a straight d20 row.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:39

Okay, gotcha, gotcha.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:41

That one you guys fight again.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:43

10.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:45

Yeah, you're good. Yeah, you your fireball goes down and it just kind of sizzles out, nothing really happens.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:51

Alright.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:52

Alright. Black Sky, because you're more in tune with your artifact. Do you feel the pull stronger compared to what Wagnew feels?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:01

I think I think the uh other artifact is here, guys. Whatever it is, or who has it? It's calling towards me.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:12

Well, there's only one way to find out.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:14

Yeah. You guys start moving forward, and before you guys kinda enter, uh Shusu, give me a perception check as well.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:20

Uh Nat 20.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:21

Bangs! Nat 20. Nice cool. Sheesh.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:24

Hey man, you gotta cancel out the Nat 1.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:27

Thanks. On the walls to your left, you see more carvings. You see names, but the names are being crossed in an X. And then you'll see like um in Dwarven language, in Dwarven writing writing, you see another passage.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:46

Wagnu, got another uh passage for you. Uh come take a look.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:52

Hmm. Let me take a gander. I'll I'll try to read the the writing on the wall.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:00

You start to read it, and you see the passage that says um something along the line of um my friends who couldn't make it this far, and then you see the names underneath it being crossed out. Uh you see next to it, this is where the earth core is. And then you'll see a whole bunch of like Dorban runes. Um as you're looking around, one catches your eye and you see uh the rune seems this Dwarven rune seems to be kind of sticking out from the wall. And as you look at it, it's almost similar to what's on your rainbow blade.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:54

Okay, I'll just tell them first. It says something about the Earth's core here. This little section here is it seems to be another collection of names to my friends. But the interesting thing is this little rune here, I think I've seen it before. And I'll unsheat my rainbow blade. And I'll just check. Confirm.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:22

Yeah, as you take out your sword and you look at it, it's um it's not exactly the the the same character like writing or same letter or stuff, but it's very similar in like nature. Um you can with that you can kind of like give me Arcana check.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:42

Yeah, it's 20, not natural.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:43

Tony. Um you get a sense of like this is what like Mammu would use to combine with her weapons when she forges them and gives them like these magical properties.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:56

Uh Shisui, black sky. Can you guys uh do you think you can separate this little rune from the wall here?

SPEAKER_05 1:04:05

Uh sure. Probably.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:07

I'll point out point and show them which rune it is.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:10

Okay, how are you tackling this? Alright. Um let me see.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:16

You have a spell that might help. Otherwise, I'm just gonna go at it with my dagger.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:21

Yeah, I don't really have I don't have any more Bardic Inspiration dies.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:25

I will try to use shocking grasp.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:30

Oh. Alright, what does that do exactly?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:33

Uh lightning springs from from you to a creature that you try to touch. Make a melee spell attack against the target. And then what's if it hits, it's just a lightning damage.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:45

Uh it's gonna hit no matter what because the the wall is just right there. Uh you just roll me your damage. Nice. Okay, 28. Which is the eight? Seven. Seven. Um, you see as it starts to crack a little bit, it's not quite off yet, but it's starting to crack, kinda give away a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:06

Alright. Can I just keep spamming it then?

SPEAKER_00 1:05:09

It's like you can pump a lot.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:11

Yeah, it's just a cantrip.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:13

Yeah, you can see you just keep spamming your um shocking grasp, and eventually it starts to come out. And as soon as it comes out, I need you all to give me a constitution saving throw as the the walls above you start to kind of just fall down a little bit.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:30

Maybe I should try using the crowbar. Wait, you had a crowbar.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:36

Yeah, man. I think we all had a crowbar. 19. Oh my gosh, 12.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:44

12. Yeah, you guys all have just managed to as you see it coming falling down. You just managed to kind of just jump to the side a little bit, dodge it. Okay, you have the this Dwarven stone that has a ruin on it. Farm date.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:58

It's in it's

SPEAKER_00 1:06:01

Yeah, he has it in his hand right now. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:04

Do you wanna take a look, Wagnu?

SPEAKER_03 1:06:06

Yeah, yeah, let me take a look at that. And then I'll show him like the rainbow blade, the rune on the rainbow blade. Looks kinda similar, no?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:16

Yeah, it it does.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:19

Alright, well, I got this from Mammu, so I think she might know a little bit more about this. I'll just keep that rune with me safe for now.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:29

Yeah, sounds good.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:31

Oh, I'll pocket it.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:33

And as you pocket it, you feel like the tremor happens again. It's a little stronger this time.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:42

Yeah. Um definitely not the staff.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:46

I'm sure it's nothing.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:48

You guys moving forward?

unknown 1:06:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:51

I'm pretty ready.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:54

Okay, if not if there's nothing else to do here, then we're gonna move on to the next one. One second to put you guys in. Okay, you walk forward. And oh wow. At this point you see in front of you um what seems to be like just giant steps, and in the center of all of it, you see this green crystal that seems to be beating as if it's like a a heart.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:28

Oh man. This looks terrifying. Shisu, I think you should lead the way.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:35

Yeah. I uh guess I will.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:39

Okay. Tell me how you're doing this.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:42

Wait, uh oh gosh.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:45

What do you want to do, Sky?

SPEAKER_02 1:07:46

Nah, I was just gonna say we should fireball, but I'm down.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:51

Always down.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:52

We should take precautions. Shisui. We don't we don't know what's down here.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:59

Right.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:00

Or matter of fact. Let me try to use my mage hand. See that I could grab that. Sounds good?

SPEAKER_00 1:08:09

As you guys walk closer to um this green crystal though, um, you feel that the you feel that the the air around you starts to become like more dense. Holy Your artifact starts to be alongside uh this crystal. As it glows your artifact, it also kind of like lights up a little bit, like dimly lights up with it. And in the three of you, oh not the three of you, the two who has the artifact on their body right now, um, you hear the sounds of drums just playing alongside the glowing of this crystal. Interesting.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:52

Okay. Yeah, this let's let's let's proceed with caution. Let me try to see if I could grab this with my uh magic hand. So I am gonna cast mage hand. Uh spectral floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration. The hand vanishes if it ever moves more than 30 feet away from you.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:21

So this hand cast mage hand and you're trying to pick it up, or how what are you trying to do with it?

SPEAKER_02 1:09:26

Yeah, I'm just trying to see if we can move it. Like if it'll budge.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:31

You cast mage hand, and you see that the crystal It budges, but it's not moving. How how much force are you trying to put onto it?

SPEAKER_02 1:09:41

Um is this crystal like as big as we see it, or like is this just like how big is the crystal?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:48

Yeah, right now it's as big as you see it. So it's a little bigger than like in the palm of your hand. It's pretty b it's pretty big.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:53

Okay, so it's pretty big. Uh yeah, I'm just trying to budge it.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:56

Then yeah, so as your mage hand just kind of goes over to it and it it just pushes a little bit. It does move.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:03

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:06

But everything safe to me as as you move it, um the whole cave the whole cave where that you're you guys are in right now, it starts to shake.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:16

Okay. I think I figured out what's causing the tremors. I think it's I think it's this crystal. Uh I can't tell if it's I don't know, I can't tell if it's if it has magic components or not. Well, I can't really move it either. Oh budge. But if it budges the tremors happen. How should we proceed?

SPEAKER_03 1:10:45

Uplock my artifact. Yeah, it's definitely something going on here. But didn't you didn't this whole cave just sh shake a little when you tried to touch it there just earlier?

SPEAKER_02 1:10:59

Yeah, I did. I think I think the crystal is causing the tremors, but I I don't know how. If it budges, but it's just it's just kind of floating up by itself.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:14

I mean, maybe it's because you try to move it with magic? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:19

Right, I think you should go and uh try to move you're the strongest one, just so we you're the strongest one out of us. You can I think you can move that.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:28

I'll try.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:31

You say that he has the minus one in strength, but yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:37

I watch from afar. You got this, you watch from afar.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:42

I mean you just be prepared to run in case, you know, everything starts collapsing.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:47

What are you doing, Shusui?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:50

I mean, I guess I'll just try and like I don't know, pick it up.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:54

Um you try to pick it up, you reach towards it, and as you hold onto it, or you just kind of put your hand on it, um you try to pick it up with your hands, and as you do that, the caves just shakes. Every little movement, every little budge that you put onto this crystal, this thing in front of you, it shakes the cave. Um, but since you're so close to it now, you do see some engravings on it.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:26

Oh, Wagnu, come come look at these engravings. Everything else here has been in dwarvish. So this is probably dwarvish too.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:33

Nah, I'm good. You you could you could pick that up. Alright, alright. But you gotta be in front of me.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:45

That's fine.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:47

Okay, I'll take a look on on the writing on the screen.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:52

Okay, from from behind Shusu, you're peeking over like his shoulder, you're looking at the the engravings um and you read out in Dwarven. It says the Earth's core, the heart of Kaiush.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:08

Uh I'll translate it over to them. Two backsky and Shisui. The Earth's core, the heart of Kaiush. Oh, this is what um earlier on that wall, this is the engraving that I was talking about. What do you guys make of this?

SPEAKER_02 1:13:22

I mean Wha What What would the rite of passage be? To get to the Earth's core for what?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:34

No clue, but there were a lot of names on that wall. I'm just gonna back up a little bit and watch you guys from afar.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:44

Maybe they got some more uh some more like writing somewhere. Just uh, I don't know, take a look at the walls. Maybe they left some instructions somewhere.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:55

Yeah, I agree. Kinda looks like a dead end.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:57

Alright, I'll look around. I'll look around. See if there's any engravings or writing on the walls.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:04

Okay, give me a investigation check.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:08

Oh, that was four. It's 12.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:12

12? Okay, that's good. Uh you start looking around, and as you were kind of walking around just where you guys are at, uh you notice that there seems to be some few uh ways to keep going this way. Um to up north and to um to your right. Um looking for engravings, you see a whole bunch of like letters in Dwarven. How it just talks about do not feed the core light. Do not move the heart. It also talks about how the heart is stable, strong, unmoving, like a mountain. And with that information, you notice how when Skye and Shoe Sui just touched it a little bit, it budged, it moved.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:10

Alright, you guys. It says not to feed it light or move it.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:15

It also says it's strong and steady, but you guys are able to move it earlier. Alright, stand back. I start charging up a fireball.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:27

I mean we don't know what to do. We can just check out the other paths and uh come back. Maybe we'll find some more clues.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:36

Right, right, that's reasonable. I stopped casting, I stopped charging my fireball. Do you guys want to take this path up here?

SPEAKER_00 1:15:44

Who has the um the the staff?

SPEAKER_02 1:15:48

I I do.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:51

Sky, as you start to walk away from the stone, I mean the crystal, uh the staff just flies out of you from your from your body, and you see it just lands right on top, it sticks right through into the crystal. The crystal starts to crack and it breaks. Something like a like a just a thought enters your mind. How Silverfist has told you that the monkey spirit was the cause of the tremor, and how he's still trying to see he's still trying to find out like how the golden staff is causing these tremors. And from the crack on the crystal, you see like a dark shadow just starts to seep out. Slowly a figure starts to just kind of paw its way out from the crystal, and you see uh this Wagnuan sky. You guys get another um like a almost like a deja vu. Every time you've come into contact with something about the artifact, what always comes with it?

SPEAKER_02 1:17:13

Oh gosh, memories. It's always a a memory or a guardian or vision, yes, or a vision.

SPEAKER_00 1:17:23

And as soon as you guys think guardian, right in front of Shusui. Oh gosh, the Earth Elemental Guardian comes out of it, and you see it's it's like black icker just dropping down from it. It has like dark veins all over. And I'm gonna need you guys all to roll initiative.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:45

No!

SPEAKER_02 1:17:46

Okay, I yell out, Shisui! Watch out!

SPEAKER_05 1:17:51

Oh Lisa's right in front of me this time.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:54

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I rolled the nine. Yeah, plus my three cards were.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:08

I'm uh right here on the on the right side of the car.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:13

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a big side.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:16

Or on she's to his left. Black sky, she's to his left.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:20

Oh okay. So uh what did you guys get again?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:25

Got uh plus my modifier 13. 12 for me.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:30

I got 14 and Frost got 18.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:36

Yeah, I'm gonna MVP bro to Guardian.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:39

You just roll up higher, didn't we? Oh, do we need to swap around initiatives?

SPEAKER_03 1:18:45

Um Yes, let me go first. Just because I I only have one spell. I I can only basically cast one spell, so I just want to use it real and then I just attack after. Yeah, that works.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:59

Sol in Shusui and Wagnu.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:02

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:03

Okay. Uh so turn order is Frost, Wagnu, Sky, Shusui, and then the Elemental Guardian.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:10

Right in front of my boy.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:12

Already Frost. Right behind Black Sky. Save the day and tell them why you're the next holder of this artifact. That'd be insane.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:26

Yeah, but it's not even gonna be me, it's just gonna be frost. Yeah. So I mean 40 feet of movement. Yeah, that's enough to get over here. Yep. So advantage. Uh what is that? Uh 10. He did not roll on.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:47

10. Uh 10 does not hit. Holy. Tries to bite it, and uh as Frost bites into it, he realizes this is this is stone, this is rock. This is Earth itself. Yep.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:00

Well, that's uh let's just start.

SPEAKER_00 1:20:03

Can't shine all the time. Walk new at your go. Sky here on deck.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:09

Alright. I'm just gonna this my big thing, you guys, so hopefully it works out the way uh I'm envisioning it. I'm gonna cast Cloud of Daggers. Cloud of Daggers, okay on uh so it's I conjure a spinning I conjure spinning daggers in a five foot cube centered on a point within range. The range is 60 feet. And then uh each creature in that area takes 44 slashing damage. A creature a creature that oh a creature that enters this cube also takes this damage. Um or if it ends its turn there. And then this is the part that I just want to confirm. It says that on your later turns, you can make a magic action to teleport the cube up to 30.

SPEAKER_00 1:20:54

Pretty much on your turn after you use the spell, you can use your action instead to move that cube. So uh you're pretty much using your your spell again by moving it.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:05

Would it cost another or nothing?

SPEAKER_00 1:21:09

So like if my if like if the guardian moves someone, right, you can use your action to move that towards him, it'll take the damage from it, but it won't cost you a spell slot. Because your spell lasts for like a what a minute, I think. Yeah. Yeah, so for as long as the minute is up, then you can just move it around.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:26

Dude, that's perfect. Okay. Yeah, I'm gonna cast a lot of daggers for the guardian.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:31

It's just is there a saving, you said? It's so just 4d4. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:41

2 2d4, so let me roll your damage. So two.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:53

So 11 points of damage. How this is your first time using this spell, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:57

Is it nah we used it before?

SPEAKER_00 1:21:59

I think you used it like one time before. So you cast your uh your cloud of daggers and mists just starts foaming around the elements of the guardian, and all of a sudden you just hear like clink, clink, clink, clink. Like, you know, like when uh knives are grinding against on like stone, and you see this guardian, it's not really reacting to it, but you can tell it's grinding away at the guardian. You see like black just flying everywhere. Um it takes 11 points of dashing damage, I believe. Correct? Okay. Yep. That's your action. Cool, and then uh can I still like back away a little bit? Um you can. You have your movement still. Um you are kind of close to it. I would say that you would be in range for an opportunity attack if you do move away.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:53

Oh okay. Don't run too far. Okay, I'll just I don't want to get opportunity here, like honestly. Oh wait, if I get opportunity here, don't you um Shisui, don't you get to like Sentinel?

SPEAKER_05 1:23:08

I'm not sure how that would work with an attack of opportunity. Let me go double check it.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:13

Yeah, double check. It can it can change the tide of battle.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:18

Yeah, that would be crazy. That'd be cool. Because I do want to get some distance, but I want to get a chance.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:27

Yeah, so it says that whenever a joker with a five feet of me disengages or hits a target other than so. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:34

I think it would have worked then, I think.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:38

Alright, cool. I'm gonna try to like back create some space between me.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:43

You cast your daggers and he just he sees you moving away, he's just gonna slam it like one arm down the ground.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:48

Bro.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:50

Uh that's the 18 plus his modifier. That's a 25. But yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:57

That hits.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:59

That's 26 plus 4 budgeting damage.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:02

Oh my fude.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:06

12 points of budgeting damage. This is other music guardian, guys. You do manage to get away though, you just take this to the you hit you if you like stamp on the ground, you kind of trip a little bit, take the damage you f and just keep going forward.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:25

Alright. 23 hits. Sentinel attack.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:32

Let's go. Yeah, 23 hits. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:35

And then 11 damage.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:37

11 damage. Nice, nice. Okay. And that's uh stashing damage?

SPEAKER_05 1:24:42

Uh piercing.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:44

Piercing, okay. So you see as um from earlier when Wagnu's attack was hitting the the um the guardian. And as you pierce with your rapier, you can see that your rapier is not doing as much damage as you would want it to do.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:02

I swear, I'm getting nerfed every time. Everybody. This is stoned, guys.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:08

This is a rock. Oh god. Right. Alright, that that's the end of it. That's the end of my turn though.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:20

Okay, uh, guys, here go. Cheers we got deck. Let's see here.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:26

What would man wow. I don't I don't know what to think here. Um, okay. I am well if it's a elemental wood it yeah, I was thinking like thunder would be its weakness, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:25:54

Uh maybe. Because thunder is normally pretty effective against like constructs. It's like sound, vibrations.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:00

Okay. I would okay, you know what? I'm gonna move to the right. This would be considered us like ganking him, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:26:14

So you would move around here?

SPEAKER_02 1:26:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:26:17

Alright, so first you just gotta see how far that is first. So you're from here, you have to go around Shusui or Wagnew, so that's 10, 5, 15. And you are staying within melee range, or are you trying to get into uh spell range?

SPEAKER_02 1:26:36

So um I'll be like, I'll get like from here there that's six tiles. That's 2.5.

SPEAKER_00 1:26:46

And then yeah, so the only thing is if you're doing if you're trying to get into spell range, then um your spell attack would just be uh regular roles, but you're you're staying in melee range, then you'll have the attack opportunity, like the advantage and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:00

Yeah, okay. Uh well I'm I'm pretty far so I guess I'll stay here. Let's just like spell range 2.7 times. That's okay. Needing that that's not five feet. Yeah. I will cast sorcerer's burst and try to see if lightning will do any damage. Okay. Alright, and let's go. Bang!

SPEAKER_00 1:27:31

12 12's a hit? Yep. Uh you cast your sorcerer's burst and it just and it just misses him. Aww.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:42

SPEAKER_00 1:27:54

Don't forget about your sorcery points too.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:57

SPEAKER_05 1:28:13

I will uh I'm just gonna attack it. I have uh advantage because of Vex. So see if I can keep the keep it going. Uh 24.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:26

24 hits.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:29

Oh do I do menacing just for the extra damage?

SPEAKER_03 1:28:32

Do it!

SPEAKER_05 1:28:33

Yeah, yeah, I'll do a menacing attack and letter D8. And then it has to make it make a DC 15 wisdom, otherwise it's frightened. But it's probably immune. It's always immune. Uh what's that?

SPEAKER_00 1:28:50

DC 15 said?

SPEAKER_05 1:28:51

Yeah, uh 18 damage.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:55

Wisdom saving throw, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:28:57

Oh what's that?

SPEAKER_00 1:29:00

Wisdom saving throw?

SPEAKER_05 1:29:02

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:03

Okay, 18 points of stashing damage or piercing damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:06

Yep. So that will get reduced by however much. Probably half.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:11

Okay, you pierced it with rapier, and you can see um whatever eyes, not mean eye, like the little just this round thing in front of you. It glows a little bit. And you can see that it's a little you can feel that it's afraid. You don't see, but you can feel that it's afraid of you at this moment.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:39

Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:40

For once, what does Fright what does Frighton do? What does Fryan do?

SPEAKER_05 1:29:46

Here, let me pull it. Okay, so they have uh disadvantage on attacks and checks while uh in line of sight of me. They can't move closer to me. And that that's it. Yeah, so they get disadvantage and can't move closer.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:06

Disadvantage on you or for anyone?

SPEAKER_05 1:30:08

For all the rows. While I'm in line of sight.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:11

All the rows. Oh dang. Okay. Nice, nice.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:15

Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:17

Yeah, because its ability checks and attacks. Uh okay, let's see. Um I mean, I'm not sure just use it now. I'm just gonna use my uh action surge and I'm just gonna swing again.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:33

Still got the vex. Reapplied. Uh 26, that will hit. And then why not? I'll just need the I'll just leave the uh menacing attack for more damage.

What's that? Uh 15 damage this time.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:57

SPEAKER_05 1:30:59

Then that will be my turn.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:00

As you're hacking away, just piercing away at this at the corrupted guardian here. Um, every time you hit him, like a black ecker just flies where you pierce him. You feel that it's afraid of you for some reason. This big construct guardian, afraid of you, Shusui. You see it kind of like curls up into like almost like a ball. And it's gonna use this action to row 20 feet towards Wagnu.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:34

I will uh take my attack up opportunity. Oh nice!

SPEAKER_00 1:31:39

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:40

Because if I hit it, its movement drops to zero, so I don't know how that works.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:45

Oh, this is the ability. This is the ability movement, so it would not affect the movement. Okay. For this one.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:53

Oh alright. 26. And I'm just gonna do that.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:59

26 hits? Yep.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:47

That's 16 budging damage. As he rolls over you, like it's like Pokemon rollout. Boom, come out, and you're how are you looking right now?

SPEAKER_03 1:33:09

How did I second win earlier? Okay, it's a good one. That's all my HP.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:12

Wagner, you fall down to the ground. Uh well that it's gonna use its movement. Its movement is halved, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:33:20

Uh no, its movement is zero.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:23

Oh, zero, okay, and it just turns around and face sky and shoot sweet. That's gonna be its turn. Frost, it's your go.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:34

Oh man. Uh well, this is a little awkward. I'm just gonna have Frost run over here and attack it. Okay. Oh advantage here. Nat 20 though.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:51

Nat 20, okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:52

So 2D6 plus two.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:55

Double halves, so it'll be regular damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:58

Whatever, I've still got rogue two dice. Dude Frost is uh nine insane. Yeah, so 11 damage, and then that'll oh yeah, that's just regular, so that'll be his turn.

SPEAKER_00 1:34:12

Okay. Wagnuke, go ahead and give me a death saving throw. Gotta be the 10.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:17

SPEAKER_03 1:34:40

Oh dang. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:34:41

And on three saving on three you fail, you your character dies. Alright, Sky. It's your goal.

Alright, I'll cast a level one magic missile. So that's only three. And up. Forgot that I have force damage. So that's a plus one. Oh my god. Two. Seven. Nine.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:24

Nine damage altogether? Okay, you see your magimist just pierces into uh the guardian. You take the nine damage. Psh ps.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:34

And then I will end my turn.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:36

Okay. Just let you know, you can use your uh sorcery points to get spell slots back, I believe.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:42

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:44

Just in case if you're like trying to save your spell slots and stuff. Yeah, I am, actually. Just in case. I think you're muted, but Chris. Hold up. Oh. Oh yeah, you're muted.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:58

Yeah, I'm just gonna keep uh swinging. As long as I can keep hitting, I keep having advantage, so that's uh 20 feet. Yep. I mean I'm doing half damage, but whatever I'm hitting. 13. Then double double check the frighten. Okay, so the frighton's only until the end of my next turn. So his frighten's gone. Uh yeah, I mean that'll be my turn.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:21

Did so the frighten is gone now?

SPEAKER_05 1:36:24

Yeah. It's only one turn.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:26

Okay. Okay. Uh as kind of disappointing. As the core in front of it just kinda like faces you, it's gonna bring its hand, its giant arm above overhead and just slam down on where you're at, Shu Sui. That's gonna be a twenty four to hit.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:44

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:45

Oh 2d6 plus 4 budgeting damage. Uh 9 points of budging damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:54

And you see it has to bring its other arm, its left arm, up overhead and swings on frost.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:00

Oh man. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:01

Uh 24 to hit. Oh man. That'd be 10 budging damage to frost.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:10

Okay, frost is almost dead. He's back to the HP.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:15

Frost It's gonna use his movement just to just get around you. Uh back to where it's fuck.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:21

Uh since he hit frost, I get my uh sentinel. So we'll see if he gets any movement.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:27

Okay, yeah. Go ahead and do that.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:29

Uh uh 15.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:33

15 barely misses. 16 is AC. And it just moves back to where um the crystal was earlier, where I came out from. And Sky, as it's facing behind you, you see the staff kind of still piercing in through him. And you see as light is coming into him from the staff. But at the same time, like darkness is like uh dark icker is just seeping out from him.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:03

Holy okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:06

Uh that's his turn. Frost is your go. Wagnu on deck for a saving throw.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:11

Let's see.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:14

That's kind of scary. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:18

Can they all have Frost taste the health action on Wagnew? It's not listed there, but you're right to ask.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:29

Uh what does that do again? Right, you're right. Does it roll like a medicine check? Correct?

SPEAKER_05 1:38:34

Uh let me double check that.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:37

Yeah, double check it. I'm not too sure what on what it does again. I I know you have to get if it's like to get him back to like one H like zero HP, but like not dead. No, also I do I do have to roll a D6 for his rolling attack to recharge it. If I roll a six, it comes back pretty much. So let's just roll it.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:52

Uh so the help action just gives him advantage on his next roll.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:56

Okay, yeah. If you want to if you want to move frost to where Wagnew is, and you can just say like just starts licking him to kind of give him advantage. Saving life. To save his life. Yeah, the only thing is that if you move away from it, then you'll get the uh the attack opportunity from the guardian, so it's up to you to call.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:14

I mean, there's not much else.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:18

If he hits Frost, you'll get Sindus.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:20

I get it, but Frost will also be down, so I'm like, But yeah, he fags, bags.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:29

Alright.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:30

Let's see. I mean he's gonna be able to do that. How much do you believe we're gonna do that he might actually just die?

SPEAKER_03 1:39:38

Alright, um It's all good, it's better to say.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:47

Okay, yeah. Frost disengages and run towards Wagnu.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:51

Alrighty, Wagnu. Go ahead and roll me your death sign throw, second one. Gotta be the 10.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:56

Let's go. Let's go.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:58

Alright, this can't be high. Go. I can't go watching Frost out damage me.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:04

This one.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:05

Let's go. 13. Let's go. I'm back. I'm back. Frost. I'm alive. 13?

SPEAKER_00 1:40:13

Okay, you get one damage. So you have one in fail, one success. Alrighty, Sky. Here you go. So you need to get three successes in a row to come back. So right now you have one fail, one success.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:26

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:27

I yell out across to Shisui. Shisui! The gif! The sword of Pavos. It says do not feed the cord the light. I think that's his weakness.

unknown 1:40:41

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:42

You have to use the sword of pavos.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:44

I mean, I'll try.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:45

What do you mean you'll try? I gave it to you.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:48

Yeah, I I mean, I'll try and hit him with it.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:52

With this, you'll you'll definitely hit him. And from this range, I'll cast dissonant whispers. Yeah, uh let's go. So the target makes a wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it takes uh 3d6 psychic damage and must immediately use its reaction if available to move as far away from you as it can using the safest route.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:17

Okay, nice. So wisdom saving throw 15. Uh it fails. Nice, so 3d6.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:24

Okay, let's go. There's nice d6. Alright. Oh my god. One. Two dude, five damage in total. Holy shit. Five psychic damage. Oh my god. Yeah, five psychic damage.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:44

Yeah, it needs to move away from you, right? So um it still had its its reaction. So it's gonna use its reaction to move. It's movement speed, which is 15. And it's just gonna move this away. So should so you go ahead and get your attack.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:00

Uh do I get it? I thought I used the sentinel and I missed, so that's my reaction.

SPEAKER_00 1:42:07

Oh, okay, yeah. Okay, never mind. You don't get it then. Alright, it moves away from the sky. As far as it can.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:13

Alright, and then I'm gonna take my bonus action just to charge up a fauna magic. Now in my turn.

SPEAKER_00 1:42:20

Nice. Alright, Shisui, zero go.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:24

Uh I mean I guess I'll just uh I'll drop my rapier and I'll pick up or uh and then I'll draw the uh the white tiger fang. Uh and then I guess I will uh use its ability. So twice per long rest while holding it, I can take a bonus action to use a command word to cause it to emit light. Uh the light uh shines in a 10-foot radius and uh dim light for an additional five. Uh the weapon deals 1d6 radiant damage on hit, and then it lasts until we hit or until uh I use the command again.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:06

Okay. And then I'll yell out, she's sweet! Behind him is a low crack of the staff. There's a light there. Aim for that spot.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:17

Alright, and then uh I'll move over and I'll just uh try and hit that.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:22

Alright, road to attack. Uh 16. 16, yes, AC.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:26

12 damage.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:28

Oh 12 damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:31

Yeah. So it's uh four what's that? Four piercing, one radiant, and then the seven uh the seven for my modifiers, I guess that would be piercing. So eight piercing and one radiant.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:48

Yeah because it's uh magical item, magical weapon, it's not resistant to the magical item, so it takes the full damage from that. Nice.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:58

No, that's pretty much it. I'm fell in my turn.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:01

Okay. Um as your sword that's glowing radiantly stashes into the guardian, the Icker just starts to splash all around, and you can see that the staff is kinda trying to pierce itself into the guardian. I'm gonna roll um a recharge dice real fast for his roll attack. See if I get it back. On a six, it gets it back. So I get my roll back. You see the guardian is gonna curl up into um a ball. And it's gonna roll 20 feet. Not quite where um sky is, but it's gonna roll towards through through you and just get it right next to where it was earlier. So you do take give me a dexterity saving throw, truthfully. On a fail, you take uh 46 bludging damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:00

Uh 14.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:02

14, that's yep, you save it. That's that's the dex uh that's that's the um DC. So you take seven points of bludging damage. Alright. And it's just gonna end its turn where it started. Good, Frost. Like Wagnew.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:19

Frost is just gonna use his turn to help Wagnew.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:25

Wagnew, give me your uh saving throw.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:28

Yep, take take your advantage.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:33

Oh my god, Frost, do you know?

SPEAKER_05 1:45:36

If only.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:39

14 vanish? Okay, yeah, you save. So one more save, and you come back up.

unknown 1:45:47

Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:48

Let's go! Oh lord. Shoes to be on deck. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:57

Um dang, there is more. Oh, there's really nothing I can do. Man, okay. The only time I wish Oh god. Alright, it's alright. I'll just uh spam magic missile again.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:23

Magic missile. Magic missile When all fails, you have your magic missile.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:28

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:31

That's right. Eight.

unknown 1:46:34

Ten.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:36

Five, eight, ten. That's a lot of damage. Nice. Okay. It all just pierces through him. Uh at this point, Shusui, because you're closest to him, you can see that the core, like, it's uh eye-looking thing in front of it. It's trying to like uh dim out and kind of glow again. And it's doing that repeatedly.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:03

I'm really hoping this guy doesn't explode.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:07

Okay, and then I just use my fauna magic and end my turn again.

SPEAKER_00 1:47:13

Alright, shoes you go.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:15

Alright. Take his own baby.

SPEAKER_00 1:47:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:22

Alright. Go for broke, activate that, and then I will uh I will swing again.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:29

The weak spot.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:33

Uh what's that? Uh 16?

SPEAKER_00 1:47:36

Yep, that's AC. Alright.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:38

Cool. That's a d4 plus a d6. And then why the hell not? I'm just gonna do a menacing attack too.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:49

Trying to do all the damage here. Okay, so then that's uh that's 11 piercing and three radiant damage.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:58

Nice magic item, let's go.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:01

And then that's as you hit him with that, uh, you can see that it starts to kind of crumble down a little bit, but you also see that the um the core is going more rapidly. It's glowing more rapidly now. And with its reaction, it's gonna release a burst within 15 feet. So just shy of shy of sky, uh, hits you, so you have to give me a dexterity saving throw of 14.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:33

Alright.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:34

Never have to worry about you're good at this.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:37

Uh 25.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:39

25, you say, so you'll take half of 3d8 fire damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:43

Yep. This is a lot.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:46

That'd be six fire damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:51

Alright. That's your go?

SPEAKER_05 1:57:49

Holy oh man we're making death saving throws next session by the way extra character dude just immediately die this is your DM Jackie while re-listening and just editing the whole episode I realized how many freaking mistakes I made as a DM.

SPEAKER_00 1:58:26

Um I don't know why my brain just keeps like reverting to con saves but I realized I I had some cons saves in there where they should have been dexterity saves instead and I just wanted to apologize for all the DD vets who are who may be listening hopefully it didn't take you out of the immersion um I am always trying to improve so if you're a DD vet and if you're listening to this if you ever notice anything where I may mess up as a DM um feel free to just give me some critiques, some tips here and there. I promise I will take everything into consideration I'm always looking for ways to improve myself as a DM and as a storyteller. So at the release of this episode I'm going to do my best to edit as much as I can and just pump out episodes as quick as I can. So just be on the lookout. There may be some months where there's three episodes released there may be some months where there's two but I promise that I'm always I'm always going to be releasing more than at least one. Yeah that's just a little heads up as always thank you so much for always listening. Thank you for giving us the chance um I know we're really newbie but we are trying we're just trying to make a great story. And if you're enjoying it if you're having fun then that makes it all worth it. I'll see you next time keep on wandering
