KotN Actual Play Podcast 139 - Dungeon World - Shitting on the Mona Lisa
[Music] Hello and welcome to the Nights in the Night actual play podcast. This dungeon world adventure is run by a jam time. [Music] And now please enjoy episode 139 titled "Shitting on the Mona Lisa". Actual play starts immediately. [Music] All right, ready for the dungeon world gentlemen? Yeah, I'm starting out my right it is. I'm Jim playing Jerry the Scholarly Wizard looking for the answers. What made you guys and where it comes from? I'm Ryan playing Sketch the halfling rogue with a new set of dice that hopefully don't serve me well. I'm Mike playing Simon the Fighter who is retired from the Imperial Army. I'm Scott playing Sanguinis the Paladin who is not happy to be out in the wilderness right now and having to walk and shit. I'm Michael playing Zeb the young male Alphys Stewart. I'm down playing Shrike Elman Ranger. Thomas playing Drummond the Dwarven Cleric it's not a very good scout. John playing Dunwick the Human Bard cousin to Jared was it on the run as a deserter. Does anybody want to bring us up speed on what's happened so far on the story? Jared is far too hard about, I don't know how many people here are 11 people to go with him to search for a magical scar and on our journey we were wheeled by bandits. One of them was charmed by Jared himself to follow us around and join you now Shrike. Shrike the El Fringer. The development isn't even working any time still with us and as we approach the first town along the way. Your buddies must have been shit. It fells long over and you're just like, "I like these guys, they're kind of better." They're not nicks. What should I remember? They all ran away for me and let me along with these guys. You had to share a bunk with them, wouldn't you? That's no bunk. As we reached the first town a sinkhole opened up and a bunch of flaming jimps came out lit the forest on fire along with the houses in the village. And us. And us. They attacked us. We knocked a few of them out, hidden a river and then turned it to an elephant, put the town up. Put it down. Put the town up. Put the whole town. Put the fence on. Okay. Everyone can write down 37 coins, that's how much I dish out to everybody. There are four coins left over because it doesn't, the math doesn't work and we're going to have to have the extra four I'm going to hold in reserve until we get some more treasure, some more loot and then we'll divide it again at that point when we get a more divisible number. Slush one. Petty cash or that. As we put out the fires in the town, the, um, this enables us to buy from the general store, which we put out first. Which was the first thing you put out, yeah. Oh, remember that. Why were we? No, graded. Oh, there's a fire cell. I'll, um, I'll rush us half off. Yeah, we put out the fire cell. Okay, so how much is it? All right. You're open for business now. It's damaged now. Who's in charge here? Oh, the village. First off, you guys are walking down the river and entering the village in the village already is, um, an elephant in trouble. An elephant with dreadlocks, no longer an elephant, right? And you entered the village. Your bard has a move that you may perform if you wish. When you first encounter an important creature, location or item you'll call covered by your bardic lorry, you may ask the GM one question about it and the GM answer truthfully. What's your point? And here I thought you were to play some purely cool music behind it's a little watching. Slow motion. Legends of Eurofist. And so I say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so they'll be cooler than this town. And because of your bardic knowledge, which specializes on heroes of ancient times. You find that you remember in your studies that there was a gentleman, in fact, he was a hedge wizard, someone who wasn't trained exactly, is it like a minor league wizard? You know, like, what's a hedge wizard? No, it was a taught wizard. A legendary, some talk wizard. Yeah, a soft taught is more of the point. It's not minor. He was a halfling. Really? Yeah. Did he stop being a halfling? No, he still is. You thought that there was no war, but he is still living, and he lives in this village. So you knew of the history of him living in this village, but you as some did have been dead. But as you guys approach the village, you can see the villagers running around, trying to rearrange the village, get things under control. Most of the fires are out. And you do see some people that are acting as guardsmen and they're dressed up in armor, so you assume that that's what they are. But there isn't a rather ancient, tiny little halfling. And it seemed to be being deferred to a lot. I told you it was minor. Well, I walk up to him. He's trying to make a song of his. His name is Jago. Jago? Jago? Jago? Like the drink. There's a drink called Jago. But with the... Jago. It's a fucking letter away. I don't know what you're talking about. Jago, are you just not working? Fag... Jago. Jago. Not Fag... Jago. Fag... Jago. Not Fag... Jago. Fag... Jago. Jago and Jarrion. That's a dumb name. I'm going to tell him to turn you into new. I'm singing a song about Jago, and he rides with Fago. I'm doing a move here. I'm trying to be charming and open with Jago, and I'm walking up to a happy knot named Fago. And I'm walking up to a river waving to my companions and saying, "Hello, Jago, we're traveling to the adventure as we happened across your town and had to do battle with these demons. Do you look like a learned sword? Do you know where they were coming from?" Yes, their player question from the list, below they must answer truthfully if I'm frank and open somewhere. We're searching for the scar, if you could tell us if these creatures are connected to it and if we're headed in the right direction. Jago informs you that to see the big same folds there, they didn't used to be there. I was going to ask, are there like steaming holes all over the place? And the little fire demons seem to have come from there, and they appeared like an hour or so ago, and they just started pouring out and we're not sure why. Did he say that the holes just appeared? Well, the ground collapsed. Yeah. An hour ago. Is it one collapse? Or are there sinkholes all over the place? There's several. Okay. If you look down, what are these holes? Can it go forever and ever I'm in, or does it? That person's probably down to a car, but it goes down as far as you can see. Throw down on your four points. No screaming soles of torment. No, there's like smoke coming out of it and it definitely smells of intense lava holes deep down to spawn demons. Yeah. Is there anything still on fire? We can throw it down there. Like a burn down there. If you want to go down there, it's a big enough for people to fit down there. You got to be small. The one you're looking at is too small for you guys to fit down comfortably. You would have to crawl on hands and knees except for maybe sketch here. These boy could go down there. These boy could go down there and get your little mouse. Oh. We've got locks. Is the village still burning? The village is smoking, but there doesn't seem to be any active fires. Oh. We had a song to brigade and an elephant apparently that helped put out the majority of the fires. So, they're all seem to be out? My goodness is making me wonder, we don't need to help or rest. So do you know? No, there's no eminent problem that's occurring right now that you... Which might be... So sitting around talking isn't like pissing anybody off. Okay. I can't wait to ingratiate and skip the local. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of smoldering going on. People are still running water because you want to douse even the smoldering bits because you don't want to flare back up. So there's more... Do we need this? Do we need this... Do we need this? Do we need this? Do we need this... Do we need this... Do we need this... Do we need this... Do we need this... Do we need this... Do we need this... Is the wizard... Is the wizard... Is the wizard... Is the wizard... Are you asking the wizard? Sure. Do you think they'll... We just didn't want to add a hand question. It's... If one of them is not big enough... If the half one... We can make it out there. Well, no. Just... Is there any bigger holes? Larger sinkholes? Yeah. He says on the opposite side of the village there was a very big one. Oh, I think... I'm almost going to look at all that one. So you're a wizard as well? Yes. Because you got the hat. This is a wizard on it. You're wearing a rope. So... You can lend him assistance in doing what? He believes he will need to do a ritual to... Water seemed to drive them away and in fact if he really doused one good it would kill it. Is that rain? It's a fella or something? Yeah. Because there's a whole wave that is now spreading out from our little village and I have no idea where they're going or what they're doing. That parted down the forest. But it can't be good. Is there a temple to ascendia in the village? What is the prevalence of ascendia in the village? It's the one you got. It's a blood. Why? I know what your character is. No, no. It's what I mean. When we were talking about the world development there was in... It's a prior event. I thought that for the humans they had instead of having them pan-theistic or polytheistic. Polytheistic. Thank you. Version of a religion. We decided to have one main one with maybe some different aspects. Well, if they have any temple here, which they do, it would obviously lead to the main god. Everyone else can do what they want to do. Doing the piety that you gave me as part of my quest, holding a service to be thankful for surviving the DIMP attack and also to protect against future DIMP invasions. I'm going to perform a service to ascendia. I don't know why everyone else is investigating. That's all I'm doing. You've got as too many letters in this name. What's your name? Pan. I know that. Fewer letters are more popular. Like raw. God. So good. Small words. Gaya. Oh, it asks for short. This service requires breaking your bread and drinking a wine, right? Of course. But ascendia believes that we must keep the blood strong, so there must be feasting involved. In my mind we just spill blood. Right. Yeah. I'm going to check out this whole... I think we should... I'll do haste trying to get this place wet. Okay. There's going to be a big area where we can do this. So Jago says, yeah, first of all, it's a ritual, which means we have to tie into a source. Right. Which means... Let's go. Go in one next to the whole. Uh-huh. Is not far from here. Cool. You're kind of... Closer than you thought, actually. Yeah. It turns out. Okay. So he's going to get together a little travel pack of incense into the things that he needs for the ritual and he would like your assistance. Any problem getting there? Or anything? Well, I guess you'll find out. But... Have you been there? Yes. He's been there before. He's kind of in retirement, but this apparently is a little bigger than that. This is weather magic. He wants to tie into something and really soak the area. Do they need an escort? You guys need an escort? Kind of hurt. If Jim's a porno... Yeah. I don't want to interrupt the dirty ritual. Yes. Jago. He was calling them fire demons. So I don't know. Our pal is in the scene to recognize them. Half demon, half imp. All dip. Very interesting. Okay. We'll call them dips. Thank you. If they're still out wandering, they seem to have exploded out from this village. I mean, this is... It could be coming from other places. I don't know. The assumption is we're falling in their wake. We should be okay, but if some of them changed back or whatever, we may need help. I don't know. Or whatever released them might want to stop us from slowing them down. Or what's in the bottom of the walls or more common? Is this a pathway to somewhere? All good questions. I would say if Jago can lead us to the scar for this ritual, then we will escort him there. Gotta wait for the pallet. The scars are ripped to the other dimensions. Or the magic horse, do you? These things came from another dimension. Oh, man. Correlation does not equal causation. What are you? To sparg? Just seem awful, coincidental, don't you? They give me some arguments. No, it's just... They've never been here. One of my worlds is usually not accessible to the surface and someone opened up a hole from where they're at, to the surface, to let them out. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Jago is interested in your crazy theories. He's never heard of these things because he lives in small village and outskirts of nowhere and so he's not extremely learned. That's where we are. That's where we are. You're saying the scar, the power source, is a rip? Right. It is one of the theories that they could be holes into another dimension. Do our characters know that, though? I mean, we made it up in world development, but... The wizard would? Yeah, that's... Yeah, why would... That's what the wizard truly believes. Okay. The wizard is classically trained, right? Yeah. He went to college. He came from... Yeah. But, however, Jago's... He's a clueless, self-trained wizard and has no idea. I stabbed Mike's character in the back and came. One too many Harry Potter reference and... I whispered it. That's not like Pius. No, my God. This is every property. That was me of you. Is it more than an hour away? No, he says it's literally like five minutes away from here. It's outside of the village, but it's in... I can use an hour's worth of rest to regain my spell. I was... What's our mission? Do we have a mission statement? We did. Find the scar. Find the scar and... Look at it. With incriminating eyes. How could you say that it's some sort of device? Discriminating. I have a device that would help me locate it, but I think I have a small wizard if you... How do you locate it with a little bit of gas in its bed? Small device. Okay. So, are you getting smarter like this? Is there anyone wounded? Yes. Yes. There are quite a few people in your party, not to mention. My party would come first, but it would offer... My server says, "By the way, how do I heal?" A camping session where you camp out. You get a quarter of your health. A quarter of your health automatically returns. Yeah, we could. A quarter of your full health. Do we decide we're rounding up or not? We're rounding up. We're rounding up. It's a happy... It's a rainbow rounding up. Oh, man. Also deadly. Anyone need any healing, like, real bad? I have a little bit of a script, some burns, but nothing that I think would... We have a decamp type. Yeah. A segment is... A temple? You find... She's a Chelsea, and she is currently in charge of the temple, and she's kind of got a triage set up there, and she is doing healing as well. Okay. So, I mean... She's a clerical or a paladin. She seems to be of the clerical nature. Okay. Well, I introduced myself, and let her know that I'm here to help. I'd like to give a service for the wounded to raise their spirits a bit, and then if anyone needs to be healed up, I'm more than happy to... I'm a clerical. To help. How bad are you, Wrooms, if I was looking at you, you're halfway to the grave, or less than that? Not quite halfway. Okay. Do you want to take this one, drum it, or do you want me to take it? I know your God can be fickle when it comes to healing before about damaging. That one is... The one who heals, she doesn't like you. Okay. Well, let's see if she will try. Actually, we've seen that last week. Yeah. She didn't like much of anyone last week, if I remember correctly. That's true. Remember when I was playing that song to Jago about Jago's exploits? Mm-hmm. I was weaving a spell into it before I was... Okay. And what does spell? Were you weaving? Are you going to steal this heal out from him? Yeah, I am. You did. Heal one by his eight damage. Well, I'm sorry, but that case you definitely need to roll. Does it say that? Yes. I'm a gem. When you weave it... Okay. It says that. Yeah, it does. We'll use it. We'll use it for his mana 10 plus. That's right. Okay, good. There's a five. What do you think? Six. Plus charisma. Two. So eight. There you go. But your spell works, but there's a... Driven. Driven. How do you not do that? I draw. I don't want to attention your spell reverberate, or your spell reverberate. To other targets, affecting them as well. Oh no. I think he just transferred it to tournament. I could use a little bit of healing with reverberates off. That's true. It's a bad idea. Like, his wounds go away and go on to you. Oh, that's the word for me. No, he's healing your wounds and causing them to villagers. There's other kinds of things I can do, like, and forward to damage. You can stab people in the back and slit their throats too. I'm thinking of another effect on the list, effect someone else, rather than the one I intended. A seven. Okay. Strike heal seven, correct? Yes. That's like all of it. You're like, wow, that's great. And then, like, three villagers drop dead around you. Actually done with his singing the song and he's healing, uh, strike, but what he's doing is he's pulling life magic out of all around him. So people are getting physically ill and crops are dying in the right surroundings. I'm really good at hearing music. What do you say? I know I just spread through a little bit. I know. All I can say. Would have just let me heal the fuck up. We have some of the worst healers in check. Check, I'll say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. I don't even like that song. First of all. How that's bullshit. I didn't do that. It wasn't an accomplishment. That's fucking your killing shit. The hell's wrong with you? I don't. I didn't. I think he was okay. I think he was trying to get rid of all the, um, plant life around here so it didn't catch fire. We need to learn some mentality, we need to drum and score the area. Do you have your healing spell left? I know you've lost a spell. Yeah, I've got it. You've got it. Well, the good fighter here could use some help if you want to take that opportunity. I'm happy to do it. I've got some villagers to look after as well. So however you want to divvy it up. Yes, that's why there's like half the villagers. Right. They're in line. Okay, I steal drum and steal the fuck. I don't need a lot of healing. That's good. You can call him home. Yeah, but he's going to heal you. I can't actually damage people. No. I failed to heal you. Try hurting him. Maybe he'll heal him. There's nine plus wisdom is 10th. That's success. That's straight up success. You need to use it. You need to use it. Roll your dice. Two. All right. Yeah. Does it feel better? Yeah. And your guide again is? I've got many. The healing one is Behem. Well, then I'd say thank you two. Behem. Yeah, it's an aspect. Oh my god. Yeah. The Thor's mother. There's no warfish aspect of the Lord's mother. Yes. No. Foraging the wife from the blood that comes from the earth called the lava in the dwarven tongue. Anyone else who? Should have told me there's a good in my book. Okay. So is there any villagers need to heal? Yes. There are quite a few villagers who have been burned. No, it was a while ago. And yes. Now are just ill. So why don't we not feeling well? You want to make one roll for you? Do you want to do something? No. I'm not going to tie you up with a million different. Right. Is that fair either? No, nor is it really necessary for you to roll at all, but I will say one roll as a healing of the village type thing. You spend a few hours doing this, helping out the villagers, helping out sister, Chelsea with the villagers. That's what he's doing. Okay. So anybody else? Yes. Jago's like the longer we wait, the more this thing the more we go. So all right. Let's go. Me and you. Who else is coming? That's fine. I'll go. I need to stay. He's like let's go. He takes out his cane. He said in the village then I will go we're with the people who need protection. Yeah, he could do that. He'll really quick out. Okay. You, uh, scotch said you wanted to look at the hole and just try to mention the hole without me because I'm just going to be running a service. I'm going to be doing a pious service. I rolled a seven on my healing plus two for my charisma as a nine. How much damage for the... Okay. So that's kind of like a net over the entire couple of hours that you're running in. So the majority of the time you do good work, but you end up being totally exhausted yourself and in doing so you take a little bit of damage. So why don't you roll me a knife for and take that? Two. It's not really that she's healing you and it's just an otter. It's off. Yeah. First and after. First and after. First and after. Right. And she's helping by healing me a bit. And that's a total net loss of minus two. And then I run a service for everyone who's there and let them investigate as they say something. Actually you hold a map. Yes. And you go to Simon and a little halfling, J.O. where are they headed? We can throw J.O. on his horse. It's probably required. This guy is moving slow with his very old sketch. You have the option to go investigate the town including this big pole. Shrek is doing what? Okay. Are you going with the halfling and crew? Yeah. Are you going with sketch in the exploring town? You said you wanted to see the big hole. I know. I'm kind of torn between. It's right next to the largest ball of yarn. That's a previous claim to fame. I must see what this guy is rolling the ball into the biggest hole and see what happens. Ooh, we got legged on fire and roll it in. Now I want to see what this scar thing is. Okay. I mean we came all this way. It's going to have something else. Oh yeah. I'm not turning on that. What happened here? Drummond is going along as well. Don't work good. He's got to stick with his cousin. Zep. I'm interested in these immediate surroundings. Are there any active fires in the woods and stuff because I'm all concerned about the plant life and animal life? Well, we're going to help put it out. Yeah. If it's fairly under control, I want to go see this big scar in there. The immediate area burned in the first movement of the dimps. And so it's mostly under control. But farther on the horizon, almost in all direction you can see smoke and fire. And there is, that's a problem. Yeah. And unless you can see it. Oh, so this didn't just come our way? No. They went in all directions. Right. And there were a lot of them that ran past you. Right. They ran in all directions. This is a major concern. So it's important to get this rainstorm going. You think? Yeah, we need you guys out there. For the forest. Yeah. So I'm probably not interested in chasing around the 360 degrees that is traveling swiftly away from me. So I'll go see the source. The big source. Okay. So you guys head off to do that. Scott, are you following with them or did you want to stay in town? I'll stay in town. Okay. Check out a hole. So you go over to check out the hole and this is a big asshole. I mean, it's in the neighborhood of 10 feet across. And I grab a burning something to let's see. Wow. They've been working pretty hard about that. So you're going to have to put a great one yourself. But it does go down at an angle that's pretty steep. But you're nimble enough. You think you could actually sketch. Sketch can't be alone. So I'll stick with sketch. Okay. Do we see a bunch of little footprints from these dimps? Yeah. You can see burn marks in the given one you believe these are. You don't want them to climb down there. Yeah. This looks like where they spewed out from the hell dimension wherever they came from. Yep. Simon and silent Bob going on here. Yep. So you have a torch or you find a torch and you sign it lit. Yeah. I mean, it's not a big problem. If you have an adventuring gear, it's probably one in there. I do have an adventuring target. Not the forest is unfighter. I think we're up there. Right. Not an issue. We're coming towards us. We will probably run it away. So you guys start to travel down this hole? Yes. Do you have any particular sharp eyesight or you're investigating anything that you need to go forward? Because otherwise, I'll lead the way. I have a trap expert, but I assume there's no traps here. It's kind of a hole that came out of. That's a change. Being halfling in relatively expert on holes as it were. This is not your normal sinkhole. This is weird. It is much too like turd. Yeah. But where's the fucking dirt? And it's very uniform. There's no... It's circular. When you say uniform, then it's been tundled out almost like with precision. Yeah. You're not like walking down and there's not uneven. It is pretty much an exact circle that comes. It's like something took the circular form of the dirt made it disappear and then they just came out. With the druid, no of any natural, maybe animal, did it? You never saw an animal that could be this size hole. I mean, there are abominations out there that do all kind of weird stuff, but you've never come across one. Don't do it and stuff. Yeah. So you guys are heading down there. We'll go back to the other guys with Jerry. You're giving him a ride on the horse or something to do with this halfling of his horse. There's a pony and you take the pony and you put a little jago on it and you head off and within five minutes you're at this place that he wanted to do it. There he has set up. So we are at the rip, the tear? Well, let's go. That's why he changed us a little confused about this whole rip tear thing. This is where he does rituals. So this is where he wanted to go. Okay. What you guys wanted. And you just know what the fuck you're talking about? I'm talking about the device. Well, this is where he does rituals. Okay. So I'll take the device out later. Okay. Yeah. We'll whip it out later. Yeah. But right now we want to try. He's keeping the leg up. All right. All right. I'm going to pull out the device when he's not looking. I'm a little disappointed. It isn't a little disappointed. You're like, what the fuck? There's no dude. There's a huge hole. There's a there's some there's some half-ling size little rocks on it. There's a half-ling size little rocks put up in a little thing that looks like the most hungry, ugly little stone engine stone head that you ever saw. It's almost like a domino thing. You want to reach over and push it over and watch it fall. It's a pebble hand. It's a range. Pebble hand. So Jgo starts doing and you want your help from him for this ceremony. Cool. What is this involved? And the different rituals. Different rituals. They come down. You can evolve and do money or things. No. This is time or whatever. Actually, this is tying into a power source. The power source is near here, but the rip that you've been tracking was so large that magic was flowing out of it almost like a river and it was going to your city. It was in fact creating a ley line that you were following back. This seems to be the surface of where this ley line comes out and he's tapping into that. So he's got a serious power source that he's tapping. Well, probably you might have to go through a tunnel and find the actual source of it. Everything important is on the ground. Dwarves now. That's true. Seriously. It takes at least an hour and a half for him to set up this ritual. Oh, Jesus. This is cleansing that must occur. It's taking roughly, it's going to his day. This is what you guys are doing, but when he starts doing the spell, he needs your help to do it and he needs to do the role. The storm starts to build and it starts to build fast and it starts to get huge. So give me your role to see how well you can control it. Shit, I ain't natural. I've never had this much power before. Fox it up to only Jared really blows this. He's rolled. What do you roll? Freight? I roll like five. He goes busted. You get your role three. You get yourself an experienced voice. Yippee. Jango's like, "Alright, now this is a part where I need you to channel the energy." We've never had this much power before. We're playing like Dwarven checkers over here for an hour. We'll go over. What the fuck? All of a sudden, there's a cloud in the sky. Jared, I'm like you. You're like, "Ooh, cloud. It's really nice." It goes pitch dark and it just fills the sky and then lightning starts flippin' out and then funnel clouds start coming down and they're touching the ground around you and shit is getting bad. Jared, I'm out. I guess we're looking to be in a big hole right now because that sounds like a problem up there. Good plan. I don't know. The wall is just flooding above us. Listen up. Dude. Oh my God. What are you doing? What are you doing? I said you had to control it. I thought you said put an undertow ball in my hand or something. It sounds so similar. In Roan's food, too. I used to. And for us. He's adorable. So, saying when sitting at the church, he looks up and goes, "Jared, Jared." He says, "Gotta be Jared." Lightning starts flashing down all around you. In fact, it's getting really bad. You guys are going to have to do something. What do you do? You see this in the village. This is... Looks like they found something, boys. This is wide enough that it's now reaching the horizon. It's spreading in all directions. You probably killed the dimps, the rain. That part probably weren't technical success. So, if you want to experience failure, yeah. But we are still on other small players, but I like you. Lightning strikes. There's lightning strikes. Anything that was easily burnable I had probably burned. So the lightning strikes might crack a tree and, you know, if it was older and dead, it might start on fire. It's really not down for this happening. It's a couple of buildings, man. He's going to put it out immediately. Yeah, it might be troubling in the village. So... The war was a tiny and lightning strikes tall things. And I want to use constitutions, so I stand still. Okay. I endure. Nothing's moving you. This is how I... It's too soon. It's too soon. Yeah, screaming looks like, "Jesus Christ, that the dents were bad." Nine. You stand against the wind. Is anybody else in this group doing anything to help this? Are you doing a lot of help? Help? Not help making it worse. Try to control it or find shelter or what are you looking after yourself? Are you looking after? Why are you using my quick thinking to try to interrupt the ritual, rush in and start kicking shit apart. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No. No. Okay. So dash into the circle and the fuck. Holy shit. It just gets worse. No, no. It was an unbelievable success. It's fucking up the magic spell that caused the tornado, which clearly will solve everything. Right. It won't get worse. No. Well, dwarves are anti-magical, right? Well, yeah, that's why I'm standing still on there. So you're like a circuit breaker? Yeah. Number five. They're fucked. Um, you run in and just... What the hell, Jared? I can't hold you over the table. And incense goes flying and all the components go everywhere. And Jared goes like, "What the hell? You are! What the fuck is going on?" I was trying to get under control. You were doing such a great job. There is lightning now that seems to be focusing on the area that you guys are. There you go. The magic is drawing it here. The control is gone. So yes, good. Thumbs up. Way to go. It's still a whole history. I saved all of you guys. The storm seems to be dissipating everywhere else. But the energy is focusing back in here. And the situation for you guys in particular has gotten much worse. And the lightning starts licking down. I've decided now. I don't like you. So it took some thought. Right. What are you doing? Sure. That's a good plan. Trying to get away from this area. Go ahead. The rain turned over. The rain turned over. Not this area. It's companions. It's companions. You're starting to reassess the whole companions. That's the truth. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You can experience. I don't know. Bring it down. Turn it around. I'll ride into it. I'll ride into it. Absolutely. I'm going to have all this first. I didn't have a whole step. Troops in the woods. You can't work that down. You can't work that fast. You can experience. You can experience. It's on the right. The lightning storm. It's on the right. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. It's on the right. The lightning storm. It's on the right. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. It's on the right. The lightning storm. It's on the right. The lightning storm. It's on the right. It's on the right. The lightning storm. It's on the right. The lightning storm. It's on the right. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. The lightning storm. You can't work that way. You can walk. You can walk. You can walk. What are you rolling the second to? All right. Some are in the middle there. Jesus. You ran in and paled yourself. I mean, it just went through your shoulder and you're actually stuck on the tree. And lightning is getting down all around you. Lighting's setting a tree that you're held on. Why wouldn't it be one of the bolts of lighting, God? Or like in your strike? Because it paled on the top. It's not a bug. It's not a bug. It's not a tree. No, I can't accept it. It's not a bug. I can't. I'm sorry. I don't know what was so. I don't. I don't. Okay. He would have been perfectly safe. Except for what he did. So, who else is there? No. It's like Godly. You're here so far, Binks. Well, he's... Yes. John has done his turn. John would get done his turn. Did you make a cut? If I make a cut? Shut it down. I'm going to shut it down. I'm going to have to burn itself out. Then I'm going to try and tell you how to nail him. It takes off. I will. Okay. I want... Sorry. That's right. I want from Jared a roll that is intelligence so that you're going to figure out what is the right thing to do here? For a wizard. Fuck it. Should I, A, try to shut it down? Or maybe let it go its way and get the fuck out of here and type two? Right. Can't go too far gone. Okay. It's safe. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm going to have this. All right. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. Okay. I'm going to have this. I'm going to have this. And that letting it go out on its own, the magic and the lightning hitting this area, nothing good can come from that and that you have to shut it down. But it is a highly dangerous situation and Che goes like maybe we should get the hell out of here. He seems to be of the opinion that this is not good and that safety is elsewhere. Yeah. So he's pushing to get out of here. That was my son. Good luck. Good luck. Let him work out. Let him see where that went. What's up? However, as you're standing there and you're focusing and you're looking and you're trying to calculate all this area, lightning is striking down all around you and I mean some of it's hitting the ground which is just so wet and you do take a jolt from the electricity. Okay. What about me? I made a stone. I'm good. So everybody that's in this area unless they can rationalize to me why like maybe you're not touching the ground right now would take an additional or would take a six points of damage. I took two damage. Okay. I used quick thinking. Yeah. That's clear thinking. That's quick. Uh, ten. With no additions. Okay. I'm not particularly intelligent. Well, still it's what I do. I've managed to find a place where you're almost on the point of Iraq so that the water is running off if there's no way that it conducts the electricity to you from where you're standing on Iraq. Let's go back to done like you started this. So we started this. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. All in my control. I'm starting to think. The elves are right. That's too dangerous. Did you take damage from the lightning? No. He hasn't rolled anything. I wrote two sixes. One dice. One dice. Six to take damage. Oh. Three. Okay. You take damage from the lightning. My armor doesn't help. Oh. Dude. Just ask for healing. What do you do in your current situation that was surrounded by both lightning and idiots? These constantly surrounded by idiots because he is one. That's true. Raise up your sword really high. Okay. So you guys are staying off the ground and trying to find problems with stone is relatively dry and I like to go back to strike. You don't feel that this is the best place to stay. It really hurts like hell. I'm going to pry myself off of you. I'm a little calmer now. Strike. You're good. Your feet are touching the ground. Just stay there buddy. We'll take care of you when this blows over. Actually, no. It's not a problem to push off against the treaty and get yourself loose but you're still surrounded by lightning. Do you join them on standing on rocks to avoid getting struck by lightning or are you still getting the hell out of here? I'm getting the hell out of here. Okay. Give me a dexterity to dance between the lightning bolts. Wow. The nimble elf has returned as he dances through. Roll a ten plus two. You get the fuck out of here and I assume head back to the city. Card. Elf. Check out that hole in the ground. He has some. Much more. Actually, you've been here about an hour. So we're going to go back to them. Like you can hit me down there. As soon as these guys get this a little bit more under control. So Jago help me out. That's really convincing. That's all I got. It's all I had time for. I want to shut it down before I get barbecued. He does have experience and he is a relatively powerful wizard even if I'm trained. So I'm going to give you a plus one for his help. Okay. Is Jago sticking around? I thought he popped the pony and was out. Oh, he's really thinking of the pony. But he was going to take him half an hour and get on the pony by himself. Right. It's very tall. And Jared and convinced him that. I'm not necessarily a dwarf, a tall pony. I'm going to have words with your. I have a little bit of sister pain art. Can I try to help my cousin here? Yeah. You have a thing to help people assist other people. Yeah. I was going to do. Sure. Go for it. All right. We'll get Jared as many pluses as he can because he can. I said it's Trump to tune before. I don't do that. You don't start. You don't start. You don't start. You're brass. Yeah. Start. I saw him. You're trumpet to. I pull off the metallic horn. That's the name of it. I have an outstanding star. Yeah. I just got an image of Miles Davis fusion jazz and just walking around doing some kind of really weird thing and people falling dead around. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, speaking of like a table over. So that's a, yeah, 12 on it. So you're going to have 10 and 12 plus two. Yeah. We're actually going to give you two. The next time you successfully assist a target with a, they gain a plus two instead of plus one. All right. Yeah. Plus two. Oh, well then he was already getting a plus one. So that's a three. We're all the five. All right. It's great. Plus three. Plus my two. Sorry. Did we see his qualifications before we let him? He hired us. Are you sure? You're a wizard. He's a magician. John's normally gets a plus one for helping someone. His role was plus two. The half lane was giving one. So it's total plus three. Jared rolled a five makes it eight and then his two for his intelligent super hang to get this under control. You managed to sever the relationship between the man of flow and the lightning and it happens instantaneous. The lightning. Does that fall? No. The lightning is still flying. But it stops feeding the lightning directly and the storm itself will dissipate eventually but it's still going pretty recently. I was going to ask you to get him back in the town and I'm going to make sure everything is settled. Okay. Okay. Because I don't want him to know I have this device. Okay. And you're going to take a reading. We're writing in while they're doing it. I stay in case something goes wrong again. I'm going. What could go wrong? I have it on. Okay. Now we come back to you guys. Sketch. You're going down a hole. You have a torch that's lit up. Yep. It's heading down at a 45 degree angle. It's very steep but it's definitely walkable. And the direction that it's heading is the same direction that they headed off. So if they head to the east it's inclined off towards the east. You travel for a bit of time. Not a great deal of time. If you had to guess you would say as the tunnel remained it's consistently like bored out perfect shape. Yes. Okay. It's reasonably deep. If you had to guess you would say 30, 40 feet. And this is really hot. It starts to get warm. Okay. Yeah. And then it seems to level out where it's almost going parallel with the above ground as far as you know. As you're walking along, what is the direction you guys are marching? It's like walking through a sewer that's ground. All right. All right. Unless Sketch needs to be up front to do some searching for traps. I could do that. Okay. That I'm... Since it changed. In Zeb do you want to be in the middle and I'll bring up the rear? Sure. I may dive in front of you if I have to fight. I may dive behind you. As I look for the west down the tunnel, do I see light coming from the distance or... Let me just dark down here other than your torch. Okay. So there's no other light source? No. Not as of yet. Sketch is going first? Yeah. And else... Yeah. Sketch me then Zeb. Let's bring up the rear. Zeb are you doing anything? Unusual. I mean you're a druid. Are you staying in L form? Yeah. Let me know. Okay. In front are you going? Pointing. You're walking along for a while. It doesn't seem all that long. You're not walking downhill so it's a little bit easier now. Let's say you're walking for roughly two, three minutes. You think ahead you start seeing a glimmer of light. Are you proceeding more cautiously? Are you stopping? Are you telling the guys behind you? What color would you like? It seems... A reddish glow. Maybe I'll signal back to the side to put the torch out. Alright. Do we still see light behind us? No. I guess it wouldn't be any sunlight. Do elves see in the dark in this world? Zeb. I'll see in the dark. Of course! Why should I strike the other elf? Yeah. Like maybe like natural dark when there's a little bit of ambient moonlight but not pitch black in the light of the cave? Not in the dark. And they're more outside creatures still. Okay. Go with that. Low light vision. How about Sketch? Halflings? They've been seagulls. They've been seagulls. Better than humans but not like... They can see in total darkness. Luckily it's not total darkness. They're not to put out the light. Okay. After creating these rules I agree. Now that I've something to realize... I can't see. You wouldn't be able to see. Do we hear anything? Yeah. Actually you stopped. I'll leave the torch here and continue. That's true. You want to... I could spike the torch into the earth wall. How far ahead is this light that you see, Sketch? You would have to guess probably about 20 feet or so. Oh. So it's not that far. Then I will jab the torch into the earth wall. As you walk a little bit farther away and there's no flickering torch making noise anymore. You think you hear something ahead. And it sounds almost like thud thud of heavy flip fault. And every once in a while, it's something sniffing. And the light is getting brighter. You know I was just thinking, if the imps were the first wave to clear a path, then naturally what would follow would be the main body, thinking like an imperial form of an imperial soldier. We might have a... Dragon. No. It's rough. That could be even. Can we tell if there are multiple, like the thud of many footprints, like almost like a marching whiter? Is this any animal that I would be familiar with at all? The sounds are similar. Very heavy or dense. They're putting on some heavy, like thud thud. As it gets closer and the footfalls are hitting, the hull are starting to shake a little bit and the ship's starting to fall from the roof. And so is it either smelling you or tracking? Yeah. The audience of is now hiking his thumb backwards towards the exit as quickly as possible. Do we have any way of collapsing this tunnel? Maybe it's friendly. You should talk to it. Just have the cousins come down here. Nothing that comes out of the ground. Would you throw that tunnel on no time? Where can you turn into something that'll dig out? Is that necessarily? Or can he try to make a druid, naturalist role to see if he might recognize the creature? The thing that's a little bit different about Dungeon World is that a lot of times when in another game you would require a role for that type of knowledge or that type of information, a lot of times they just say give them the answer that you want them to have because unless there's a reason that their failure could cause something interesting to happen. So that type of question I would say just deserves an answer rather than a role. And that is to say you know of a lot of different animals, the sound of these footfalls are really heavy and they're shaking shit and you've heard of higs that make almost a snuffling and sniffing type thing. Why does this tunnel? It is roughly 15 feet. How about like I'm so great, hey. I begin leaving. Zap turns tail. I mean. Zap bar runs away. You leave the torch clean strategically with straws. The torch is currently stuck in the wall. You hear this nip nip nip again and zips like okay guys you know what? Yeah. Don't like this place. Then the footsteps which were like boom boom boom. Closhes steps, there's a couple loud snips and then the footsteps are not ashes for slow anymore. They seem to be coming. And the light is lighting up down the tunnel. Right. It seems like. Kind of like a train. Kind of like a train. Yeah. Basic. It's sketched by the scruff of his neck and I'm hollum and let's get out of here. So I don't think charging at you would be mighty nice if you just stuck a spear or no. It's just thumping and shaking a tunnel that's 30 feet underground. Yeah. I don't think you're going to be. Yeah. I didn't realize the size. It's thundering up your back. Are you attempting to turn around and look and see what it is? Can I glance at it? I'm going to glance over my shoulder. I can look. Yeah. Yeah. Good idea. Mini-meat has got him over your shoulder and you're running for the exit. Okay. What you see is something that is bigger than the biggest grizzly bear you've ever seen. The biggest grizzly bear? No, because it is red and the light is coming from it and it sort of looks almost like it's on fire. So it's definitely demonic in nature and it seems that it's closing fast. Give me the warning that if we can't make it, I'll stop and turn and give you a chance to escape and tell the others to get ready for it. Is that you have a big lead on these guys and the only problems when you hit the incline coming up because water's coming down in lots of water. Is it raining? It seems that it's raining outside. Can you turn into a salmon and swim up water ball? Totally work. So you take a few steps and you just start to slide back down again and it's going to require something from you to get up high still. Like a defy danger. It's a trap created by your own friends. Can you turn into an animal that can get through that? I'm turning to face this thing and seeing how they're making up. Well, first thing you see is these two running at you. I'm not panicking, but I'm trying to move, well, no, I can't have a sense of urgency planning on it. I'm giving him a sense of urgency. I'm panicking. Oh my God! Oh my God! What the fuck are you talking about? We're not going to be able to get up the incline and full armor. What I'd like to do is at least get to the part where there's some rain or some water. Either get the others over here as fast as they can to haul us up or maybe Zed can turn into a bird and fly out because it's still a pretty big hole unless the water's coming in through the hole. If you start to see a little bit of the light from the hole in the sky is filled with dark clouds and it is definitely raining. I'm hoping the water will help mitigate some of the fire from this demon. And at the top of the hole you see a little tiny face. Hey, mister, what are you doing down there? It's a kid that came to stay in danger. Oh, no, he's not in danger. He's in danger right there. Simon's in danger. So exactly how much water's coming down here? Is it like impossible to get up? No, it's not impossible. But I mean, it is... It's more difficult. Oh, it makes it difficult. I tell the kid to get out of here and get the paladin. The big fat paladin in the church. The fat guy in the horse. He's looking at you over here to fast. Oh, hey, over down there. I see that guy move. He don't move fast. Well, I'm down here. I told him to run it in a puffer. So the little kid heads up, unfortunately, in this time, you've reached the bottom of the hill where Zeb is. Zeb, you're doing what? I've been, first of all, the demon is like two steps behind you. Two long enough, the yelps of the kid. I'm stopping, turning and using my spear. And Zeb? I'm watching to see what he's doing. Okay. Just behind him, another 10 feet is the demon. And it is a demon with big, huge, pearl horns and fangs and the whole red fire thing. What are your areas that you're about to turn into? Anything from his forest, basically. I'm trying to think of something with really good traction, like a mountain goat or something that had a score of shrewd. No, something could climb up without any problem. I want to snake quickly, if I can. I'll shrewd up you, or a spider, or... Big one, maybe. You can't really change size, you can change in this shape. Oh, you can't be a pigmy elephant, he's got to be an elephant, if he's an elephant. Right. So if he's a spider, he's a spider. Not a giant spider. We dreadlocks. I will get my bow right in this shoot the demon. Okay. So you drive the hero, turn around? Yeah. Yeah, poison? And Zeb, you're doing what? You're turning into a shrewd in some sort of boring creature. Badger. You're not bad. They're beastly, I know. They're nasty. You can summon badgers at one point. May I speak to the demon? You could. Sure. Okay. So you turn to face the demon. You, give me your role, Zeb. You turn into a burrowing creature of your choice. A honey badger. A date, which is stunning. Ooh. You are the perfect honey badger that now has three actions you can perform. The first, I imagine, is to dig straight down and get the fuck out. Down, just a little, I don't know, if I'm... Well. Regular. See, I can choose the scrap. For sure. If you dug straight down at the bottom of this ramp, it would quickly fill with water. So the assumption is you're like picking the side and kind of digging the side in down. So that's fine. Just as long as you're out of the river. I think that's not underwater. Right. The idea is only to get behind this thing. It's not to eaten by it or whatever. Gotcha. You do that. You dig into the side of the wall and then down and start coming around behind it. And it comes thundering down this corridor and meets Simon. What do you do? You seem to be slowing. It's coming right at you, full speed. I kind of give a little battle scream and I tell him that now I'll face it. That's kind of a little battle scream. Well, yeah. It's a... I would think it's a little more madly of a veteran of many wars. I'm kind of like a former injury old Centurion, so that has always been an issue. I tell him that I am a soleritus of the Imperial Arty. My name is Vera Fortes, and I will meet you even when is your name? How you doing buddy? Tastes by Spear. Tastes by Spear. He doesn't appear to have... Oh, I've walked. That's fine. That's fine. No, he... Yeah, it doesn't even slow him a bit. And it comes straight at you. My spear has reached. Yeah. So, can I set it to receive this, if it's seen as charging at me, full speed? Do I get any benefit or bonus for receiving the charge with, you know, planting the spear or should I not worry about that dynamic and just find it? I wouldn't worry too much about that. First of all, there's nothing to plant it against this is a dirt paint that is now filled with water. That I will say I'll treat it as flavor and just basically say it's a hack and slash. Okay. Go right in. Oh my god. That looks bad. That is a whopping seven. Barely a success. Okay, so you do damage to it. Damage is eight points. That's pretty healthy. You stand your ground and as his demon charges down upon you, you thrust forward with the spear. Kind of hit. The point of truth kind of hits his armor and starts to slide a bit but then just punches right through it. And he grabs onto this spear and pulls himself closer and just race you right across the face. He pulls me closer, pulls the spear deeper into his body. He gets closer to you by pulling the spear deeper. Okay. I'll just send him that direction damage like one die six. No. Okay. I'll give him a long done wing. I'll give him some style points for that. That's kind of badass. I want to be honest, that's intimidating of it. My dad's armor didn't you? I hit a little bit. I'm going to peek a little bit there. That's okay. I just went at you with his claw and I would like you to roll two eight sided dice and take the best of those two. That's three and that's a five. So five is the damage you take. Your armor still counts. Okay. And it leaves a bit of flame and ribbage in your armor. What kind of armor are you wearing? I have scale armor, a total armor of three. Okay. Had it been something lighter like leather, you might have degraded the quality of the armor. Does that mean the value of the armor goes down? Not at this point. Okay. So I took five reduced by three so I took two damage and then do I also take an additional fire damage you said? No. Alright. Just flavor. He knocks you backwards a bit. The spear is unfortunately lodged within him and you almost stumble and knock over the sketch. That is what? I shoot him. I shoot him in the head. Eight. Yay. Roll the steps. Okay. Two damage. Seven. Oh. And it's poison. The poisoned arrow. The designated. Don't miss. Hey. Bloodweed poison. The target deals. One die. Four. Ongoing. Until cured. Uh, yeah. So I, uh, provoke an attack from there. Unprovoked. Oh Jesus. I rolled four. You're just a little guy. What were you using? A shirt one. Do that? I was trying to save the little guy. Okay. Several shots producing your ammo by one. It's not like the best one. You're going to reduce your ammo? Yeah, but the arrow is supposed to be poison. But you want to lose an arrow, right? Sure. So you keep your arrow in a special part of your quiver and it's wrapped so that the poison doesn't nick you because it's nasty shit and unfortunately in your panic to get this arrow out you jostled your quiver and arrows felt everywhere and some of them are lost in the mud forever. So your ammo goes down to one. Nice. Okay. That's a special. Zab has managed to burrow around and you come out well past the demon. Stick him in the bag. With your badger claws? I'll revert to, uh, if you're using a weapon. A spear. All right. I can slash it. Oh sorry. Rolled a six plus one is seven. Okay. So you did succeed in hitting him. Fortunately. All right. Meanwhile the paladin's finishing a plate of spaghetti. No. We are now performing the host of the jelly donuts. He's here. He's here. He's here. This is a little kid. Look how it jiggles. There's a little kid pulling on your, uh, vestments that you're wearing at your, uh, creature. Once it's all. There's always room for gold. Burks. What? Um, Zab didn't roll damage. Yes. Zab, you need to roll your damage and then we need to, uh, do something mean and nasty to you as well. Five. So you jab him in the Botox. I like to think of it as the base of his spine. That is better. Okay. So you jab the spear into the base of his spine, which causes his tail to lash out and strike you across the face. What a dick. So you may roll two eight times now you can actually do this taxes. Or take the highest value. This is the damage you take. Oh, we're going. Here we go. Come on. This is generally higher than eight. Isn't that a bad role? Why did you experience for that? Yeah. You should get experience for rolling in. So the tail strikes you across the face and it's got the typical spank shape at the back of it, which is slices. It's a nice cut across your armor and we are back to Simon. You have a spear jam into a demon who is kind of holding on to it. Okay. Well, I guess I am going to try to use it just like a lover. I'm just going to put my weight on it and really try to spread his ribs are open. Give me another hack and slash. Holy shit. You made it. Make eyes. I think you. Yeah. Did you love? Did your point of truth? This is time for your funeral. It's time for your funeral. It's time to get up a level now. Snake eyes. That's four. You get experience and you level demons don't like it when you try to spread open their ribs. That's what you learn today. Huh? Not an important lesson. Taste this. Oh, sorry. What I found is the blood that's dripping down the shaft of your spirit and your hands just slip and you smash into heaven and you go stumbling backwards into the mud minus your spear. Now, normally in hack and slash, he does damage to you. Your loss of your spear is now stuck in him, so you're going to have to do something about that. So you don't take any physical damage because that shaking it around in him caused him enough discomfort to yow and scream and thrash about and actually go stumbling backwards, which unfortunately is where Zeb is, so he's falling backwards onto you trying to get away from this guy. What do you do? Dance another way. Boy Danger, give me a de-x-roll. Oh my goodness. 11, which is 12. He was expecting this. Such a big, old dance. Shucks. Although the slap in the face probably is so tender waiting here. Yeah. Is there any adverse effect on the water, I'm looking at his feet, I'm dancing a waste of time. No, he is definitely dancing in the water and he does not seem to be anywhere near as effective as James were, if at all. Okay. So you're hunkered down at the bottom of the tunnel behind your large friend who just stumbled past you, so you're kind of exposed. Yeah, exposed. But the demon is not threatening you right now, but what do you do? You're going to pluck another air on? I'm going to try to get a little bit of higher ground by making my way up to slippery slope and shooting down. Okay. We'll have to start with a de-x-roll to get out any distance in it. Two and two, total of six. You start climbing up the hill and trying to get into a better situation and the water is just a trential downpour and you start sliding, you end up face first and slide back down to the bottom of the hill. You however do get to roll a die for to do your poison damage. Three. And this is without armor affecting me because it's in his blood system now. Cool. The demon gives a howl of frustration. The elf is danced out of the way and he looks like potentially he's thinking about possibly retreating. But instead seems to steal himself from it and it comes charging towards you and pulls up short and wants to just drive you into the ground and he's stomping down with his claw foot. Is it my turn to act? It is your turn to act because the demon's about to stomp on you. Then this is your move. I kick the spear with an X like a lever on him and that's aimed at his strength. Is an attack or is my defy dangerous? That's going to be too nice plus strength. He'll tell you. Oh I see. Oh my god. How beautiful. Because it depends on how you do. Oh it's five. When you roll the three. I roll the three and that plus two is five. I'm in the mud. I'm in the mud. I'm in the mud. I'm in the mud. I'm in the mud. I'm in the mud. I'm in the mud. If I have demon. It's still. Let me remind everyone that I'm old and my body's been ravaged by a lot of time with the Imperial Army. So just because I think I can do something doesn't mean you can't pay more. Your hand slips off your right hand slips off and you don't get the leverage to really cause damage and he just stomps your ass right into the ground. Middle of your chest now. But the good thing is I don't want to do it. You take six points of damage as his claws dig into you and just drive you deep into the mud. Which is now mud. It used to be dirt. No. Mr. your friend. He's in trouble. Down the pit. This milkshake is my blood. I love this religion. My arm absorbs three more. And then he just jams you in the water. His toes are on fire but it's also more of a problem that you're in water and you're actually drowning. You were in the mud. The water is just flowing over the top of you. Our right next to the demon it was drowning your front. In all seriousness I asked the boy why would he daint interrupt this holy right. What the fuck. Stand with you. I don't understand what could go so important. The holy right up some way. You see the rain, Mr. Yes, I see the rain. It's nasty out there. I think there's a bottom of a well. Oh dear. Simon's held in the well, Mr. So I think at that point I would, um, wow, to rainy. Is that what the hammer, one second. I put on a helmet because I have a scale armor. I curse a little mudder under my breath. Not to clean it. It's going to ross. It's good. They don't have much of shit cost. It costs three states and two glasses of wine to fix this thing. Okay, so I go ahead and I start following the look at it. Into the rainings, follow the little kid who just interrupted my holy right. Zen, you have a demon who now is kind of ignoring you. He lashed out at you as he stumbled backwards. He got back off. He struck you once with his tail but now he's really concentrating mostly on your friend Simon. Who is? I'm excited. Fucking drowning. It's all under a mud river. I see how far I can fit this spear up his ass. All right. Oh, there's a bend here. I left over here and I've been right. No, I don't. Awesome. More trains. Or. He level up. Which is loud. I'm not up here. There's so many weather problems. They're behind the fucking drowning. Spheres are snapping. We are no good at spraying. Spheres. Fallen down. Kills. You go rushing at the demon in attempt to jab it up its ass. Unfortunately he moves aside as you're doing that and you go right past him and drive the spear deep into the wall of mud and dirt. I thought you were going to say that wasn't the wall of the sketch. Your spear is not lost but it's a little bit stuck here. It'll take a tiny bit of effort to pull it out. Unfortunately, the demon looks at you sideways as you kind of went back to him and he just coughs you with his right hand. So unfortunately, two days safe, take the highest. You have two of your friends now, driving in the mud. I think I'm-- You took seven damage, sir. Yeah. Fuck. So I think I was in mud as well. You took six because he has armor. I have five left. I have five left. I have five left. I have five left. Your high armor was kind of worked by that and it's not in total shambles but you're doing pretty good. Is the water affecting the demon jungle? Yes. No. He seemed it. I'll stand up, wipe the mud out of my eyes and pull out my shortsword and dagger. No, that's funny. It's definitely-- Is the answer. After. Six plus strength. So seven. Oh, it's just a hit. That is a hit. And I do two. Yes. What's poison? I think-- Actually, your dagger does not strike through his hide which is pretty tough but your damage from your poison seems to be weakening a bit as it does one additional damage to him. That's-- Yeah, check out a good idea. Pull a spear out and hand it to him and then I'm going to stick it back in there. You need this? Maybe that's right. He's smacked with his right hand. He's got his left hand pinning Simon underneath the water so he just reaches over and he head butts you with his sword because you're just a little halfway and he's like, "Get the fuck away from him." He's ridiculous. Like roll two ones. Two dicey. Two dicey. Yes. No, but the highest stuff is you. Not bold. Lower it's up. Lower it's up. Come on. Yeah. Lower it. His horns just crack you a good one and you get a little split there and blood's rolling down your face. Do you even type on him back? Do you either meet him? I hate when you do that. Simon, you're being held underneath water. Then I will try to break his toes. Okay. So his vision is his foot on your chest. Right. Just like in the gladiatory arena, I'm just going to try a dirty trick I learned in the fight. Both hands grab a toe. Both hands. And I'm just going to try to fight dirty as best I can with my gauntlet. That does sound dirty. Yeah. Your old two dice. So give me two dice trying. I'll throw it to him. Defy that danger. Six plus two is eight. That's a success. Ideal damage but he also gets to make an attack against me. Oh wait. I find danger. No, he wasn't. Defying danger. Defying grab. I stopped. I stopped. He told me to stop us. Rip apart as well he can. What do I do? I do. Always you do the damage that your character does. Fair enough. My base is dead ten. Awesome. I do six damage. The pain to his foot is enough that he actually lifts his foot off you and you come up smarting from the water only to meet a fist that comes down his foot. But at least I can ask you there, right? Yes. So you do get a breath. It's just a handle victim. So the fist does the damage but it doesn't pin you back down it's just a glancing blow as he hits you. There's something cruel about making your roll for your own damage. I love it. I haven't fixed the dice all night. Seven. Oh. I will invoke one of my human moves where you make them reroll. Then I make it reroll. Okay. Two rolls in that case? Just one. I can't see you rolling two and taking the high again. Just roll the dice. Well as long as they don't roll an eight or anything, rolls a roll. A four. Yeah. Yeah. So is that one damage? I know it's one damage. Oh. Geez. So it's a glancing blow off of your armor. There's a little more to put you just to check. And you're steering up at the demon behind you here. Yeah. I'm wiping the jelly off by the power of a Sandia. Go back to where you came. Well first of all, demon. I want me to add a little bit of this, so I can eat. I'm imagining I'm on the ground still looking up and because of the angle of the tunnel, I look up to my head away from the demon and they're upside down and converted is you are an enormous bulb. It's almost like your shadow, like all of a sudden, like you're in the middle of the storm. You've eclipsed the thing. It's same with himself. I tell you. I'm not quite as excited as I was when I was fighting in the campsite because it's very apathetic. This is right in the middle of a ceremony that it says my character sheet. It's required that I eat in the ceremony. So I'm really disappointed that I have to actually go and eat the brain and then they're all flounder round down there. It's just the person. Actually, it's quite apathetic. It is. I mean, so I try to muster up some strength, but what's that say right there? I've been dangering myself and protecting someone weaker than myself. There you go. Right now I'm weaker than you. There we go. Wow. I rolled a nine. I'm probably using charisma because... Yeah. What are you doing? It's just unbelievable. Oh, bitches of claiming power like he always is. It's having a lot or whatever. Yes. I'm London. I'm London. It's my divine authority will charisma on seven plus. No, it is. They choose one. Again, we didn't really say... What specifically is your order? My quarter to the demon. Return to the follow-ups that spawned you. So I made... No, he's so good. Finish stuff first. I can't. Or love her, actually, because I might advance stuff for you. I'm in between. This is the in-between meal. And that really... This is me. A second. Second launch. First supper, leopard. I rolled a eleven. Oh, wow. So it either does what I say, or a taxon, or it backs away cautiously and then flees. Which just does what he says. Or it attacks me. Which either one of those three would make me happy because those guys look really bad down there. So I don't now give a shit. Which one? Are you guys a little boost? He's actually in pretty bad shape. He was thinking his act. He was like, "Whoa!" No, but you've been fucking him up pretty decently. He's not from up to work. He wants him a day. He's a little bit old. And the holy guy, which is a little bit too much for him. So he starts to turn and walk away. Which may be a bit of a concern, a signman. Your spear is about to disappear down the hallway. What do you do, you do, or you do? I gotta... We move my spear from the mud. Zap, go use it in the mud. Zap is digging deep in the mud trying to pull out a spear that's embedded. I'm gonna yank my spear out of his side and hopefully the hopes of the spear will take a little flesh out. Don't pick it up. Piss it off again. Don't. Piss it off again. Don't always get another spear. No, I can't. It's my signature weapon. It's the point of truth. It's the point of truth. It's got my name on it. It's my heirloom. It's all me. Point of truth 2.0. No! What do you envision? What I imagine is a death dance around him to pull it out. No, but as this demons' attention, as he's turning you just go, "Nah!" Hold on. He's pointing out the other end and you're like, "Ooh, Ollie threw." Ooh, that's interesting. Sure. I was trying to do that. He's trying to do that twice and his hand keeps slipping. They're trying to drill instead of push. Yeah, that's what he's trying to pull out. Yeah, I was trying to pull it out and keep her in. Well, how about this? As he turns, you notice the head of your spear poking out, so that was why you couldn't pull it back through. Ugh, I was stuck in the armor. Maybe. Yeah. Well, just like a arrow wound that you see, it's easier to pull through than throwing the head off. He was attention on saying when it's my hero, my hero. [LAUGHTER] I never say that. It does. It's painful. Yeah, I got you back. I will attempt to retrieve the spear by any means and push it through and you're pulling it through. You're at his back. He's turned his back on you. Oh, yeah, then. You're making it through. You're making it through. There you go. Here we go. Oh, that is just under. This is what I'm saying. You need fucking fake points for this shit. We've already got six for like the fourth time tonight. You grab the back of the spear and he takes his step and it is so stuck that it rips the spearhead through your hand and it disappears down the hall. Good sketchball. You take damage. No. It's not too nice. It is the damage that you would do because of this shit. Holy shit. Aw, that's insult to injury. Now you want a nice hand. You want a nice hand. 7. 7. 7. You have a spear that's in the wall and you could get it out but it'll probably take long enough that this guy's going to be down the hall and gone. You can try something else. You will lose a spear. But you kill him and then you can go and get it. Can he grab his spear? I don't know where it's headed. This guy's turning and he's gone but both sketch and zab get a last shot at him. If you manage to kill him then his poison might get his spear. So sketch, take your last turn. Maybe you can run down the tunnel again. 8 plus 1. 11 plus 2. 13 plus 1. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Finally. He'll get you back. 6. 6 it is. What a demon is turning. 8 damage. And then he takes poison note 1. The shot of the arrow sticks white in the back of his nose. Nice. Nice shot. The poison does damage and a spear hits him in the back as well. Nice. He keeps going. Oh, fudge. He had four remaining hit points. So he might not make it back and the poison may eventually kill him but you guys would have to track him down the tunnel and who knows what's in there. It's a tunnel. Tom. In all fairness he rolled ten. Yes, I understand that but one of the options is always that you lose something. You're ammo. You've lost the ammo. You've got it. That's much better than dying. I sent the little boy to go get some rope. Okay. I have rope. Can we show up? Sure. I've got rope. You fight the fight. No. But the fight is for all purposes over. I've got a healing potion and I can go get chase after him. You might have to do that. You know what I do? No. I figure we're going to end it here. Yes. Before we do that, we get these guys out of the pit. You guys return and help them. We're also going to do a make camp for those of you who can level up in addition to the end of the session. Move. The make camp just says when you settle in to rest, consume a ration. Does everybody have rations or if not, the village can provide them. Although just for record, they're not really happy with Dunwick right now. I didn't really know I did that. People dying all around him while you're playing a horn. They kind of noticed. You did do that. Why did I know that I did that? And then you kiss over a purple head. You played a song and then you guy. Plans died. Little flowers. The final tap with a little stone head just right there. If you have enough XP, you level up. Do we need to go through that? Okay. Let's do the end session on a quick camping. Just below you to level. Jim, have you done any bonds today? We learned something new about the tear. I learned that it is underground. And this particular. Fucking dangerous. The tear gets one for that. Did you get any blindness? Discover something about magical mystery. So I think it's different. Let's do everybody first with this. Did you learn something new and important about the world? Things are coming into the world. That's not important. Okay. Everybody gets one. First we get demons. Did you overcome a notable monster or enemy? No. Overcomes the bait. You did drive it away. Oh. Overcome. Come on. I showed up and it ran away. We overcame the dim board. We stopped it from expanding. I was going to be used to that. If you want to say a notable monster or enemy, the storm and the demon together are one for everybody. What about the people who didn't fight the demon? Then you have to start up. The people who were created are the same. Did you loot a memorable treasure I didn't know? No. We lost a memorable treasure. We should give you a minus one. I'll give you a minus. One of us. Yes. Then we went to Jim then Sketch. No bonds. No bonds? You need to get bonds. You need to get bonds. If you didn't get a bond, you need to rewrite. My neutral alignment is avoid detection or infiltrate a location. You need to infiltrate a dark hole. I just couldn't leave. I would have left. No way. What happened? I'm sorry. It's not from you. If anybody who disagrees with my name. I think the demon kind of found out about him as soon as we found out about him. Indeed. There was no hiding from him. Had you been alone, you would have definitely got that point. Simon. Simon. If you want to count me lifting Sketch and running away from the demon with him to defend him. I'd say so because otherwise he would have got the demon first. Right. Then that would have been that. I switched the rest of the time by getting my ass handed to me so... So no alignment? Or alignment was... No alignment. Defend those weaker than me and I really didn't do anything. Oh, I didn't defend anyone. I was on the team. You know, we doubled them with defense. Yeah. It's fine. If the best defense is a good offense, you got that point. Which is the same for me. Sanguine. Endanger yourself to protect someone weaker than you. They were all in that particular time weaker than me. I also have one that says, "We'll protect Sketch even though he doesn't like me." I don't want to double dip. I'm just looking for one. No. Because I didn't even know Sketch was there really. They told me that Simon was that horrible. That mother covered thing in Sketch? Okay. Right. Exactly. I would say that I have a bond to... And write a new bond? Yeah. So I now am indebted to... Um... Sanctification. I'm done. I'm done. Better. It helps something or someone grow. It helped that team grow. Very beginning when I was helping the little... All the buildings. Okay. I'll give you one for that. Proving to Sanguine is the ongoing process of proving that I worthy of marriage. Fighting demons, man. Exactly. Some cred? Yeah. I mean, all he saw was... Maybe here's the story afterwards. But all he saw was... Yes. I can go either way there. I mean, it's... I don't care for my point of view. I just... Certainly heard the story afterwards. Because he had to carry that on to the other point. Um... I didn't have to go bail their asses out, but he was fighting a demon. That's something. Your call? I didn't run when I could have fought. Yeah, I say. That's his point. I can give you something to point. Okay. And that... Okay, man. Last bond I was, I swear to protect the bird Dunwick from red cloaks on a change that took protecting the world from Dunwick. Everyone wants that. I didn't... I was thinking about changing my... I just had to own it. It was a double dip in the day. You blow a pipe. There's like small children. That was impressive. Yeah. Does the... Getting the story, guys. Anytime you try... Anytime you try, six or less, you get an experience. I can't say it. Anytime. Anytime. Anytime. I think I fail like four times. Yeah, I was just gonna say that. I only think you didn't do a step on toys and basically break them on purpose. Simon, you could have... You could have leveled twice. If you would have... I don't... I've got a total of 13 now. I've got 10. So you need seven more than your level. So, seven pleasure level. And then you saved the rest to go on to the next one. Oh, perfect. So... Shrimp. I got nothing. Oh, come on! No! You need more minutes. Alignment. Alignment. What's your alignment? He marked for failures. He was the same part of what was happening. Got it. Free someone... In bonds. You're a self. We're in pale one for you. There you go now. You've created yourself from the tree bonds. If you can think of a better... Shrimp. Alignment writing for your ranger? Sure. If you can convince me. Sure. Absolutely. Drumming. Alignment is in danger of yourself following the precepts of your church for God in that evening. Not really. Really. I have a bond with Jared that he is in constant danger and I will keep him safe. I stick behind when everyone else left while he checked out how the magic worked. Okay. So he was alone. Okay. That's the bond. I wrote one for Dunwick. I shouldn't trust him in emergency situations. Oh. I guess that's the bond. That's the bond. Dunwick. Dunwick. No. I wrote that before all your old laden name. It's a fact. I get my alignment from my art to eat someone. Okay. You get that? You also harm someone. But yes. Oh, I have to talk about the healing. Yeah. Whatever. The pipes of doom. I love your pipes. I got a bond with Jared where he's kind of an ass and he gets me in trouble all the time. He does. He did. Oh, he did. He started. He started. That is true and his failure. But Jonathan just knocked out of the park. Jared started it. He finished it. And then the pitcher is? Do that movie. You wrote the double twelve. Right. How can you? How can you? He's in. How can you fuck it up? He knocked over pebble hunch. There was nothing good that could come of it but you were better off. Roll the two and go kick it and miss it and follow your ass. It's like rolling a twelve to shit on the motor when you said it. Yeah, you did it. You did it. Right. You did it. Exactly. But you shit. I'm a Mona Lisa. I'm really great shit. I'm changing my bond. I feel great about this. I'm changing my bond because he's done with save from weds and just keep them with save. You haven't had the bond with Jared. That's just dangerous. He used to be temper. You had an outstanding night tonight. I mean you know what? Exactly. I mean shit. We all did. Yeah. It was good stuff. It was good. You might have earned fourteen bonds of energy. But at the same time it was a fantastic company. Prop for tonight? People was fucking bad. I think people would cry.
