Oh, not all of us, eh? 02:56.963 --> 02:58.466 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't think Kiwi can use it, can he? 03:00.048 --> 03:04.835 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't think Kiwi can wear any armor at all. 03:04.855 --> 03:05.296 [Lacer (Kai)]: Why not? 03:06.177 --> 03:07.439 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because you're a wizard. 03:08.120 --> 03:10.003 [Lacer (Kai)]: You're a wizard, Dundar. 03:10.103 --> 03:10.464 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Goddammit. 03:14.490 --> 03:16.493 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So I can make armor, I just can't wear it. 03:17.300 --> 03:25.495 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I think if you're wearing heavy armor you get massive penalties on spellcasting and stuff. 03:25.515 --> 03:27.779 [Riv (DM)]: I think you can take features that lets you wear armor. 03:28.600 --> 03:31.325 [JC (Ryo)]: I thought he could wear light armor though. 03:31.345 --> 03:34.110 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have proficiency with light and medium armor. 03:34.130 --> 03:36.435 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, so he can wear the other stuff? 03:38.258 --> 03:41.704 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't know how that interacts with being a wizard. 03:43.102 --> 03:48.328 [Riv (DM)]: If you've got proficiency in it, then you should be fine. 03:48.348 --> 03:50.471 [Riv (DM)]: I think you probably have those proficiencies because you're a dwarf. 03:52.373 --> 03:58.040 [Riv (DM)]: Normally, the wizard class itself doesn't get proficiency. 03:58.060 --> 03:58.981 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, all good. 03:59.662 --> 04:00.823 [Riv (DM)]: So in theory, you could wear it if you wanted. 04:02.545 --> 04:06.390 [Lacer (Kai)]: Who wants to be the snorkel or scuba diver? 04:09.033 --> 04:09.274 [JC (Ryo)]: Sure. 04:10.235 --> 04:12.197 [JC (Ryo)]: Anyone but Vael then can basically wear it. 04:15.046 --> 04:16.829 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think more importantly, who wants it? 04:17.009 --> 04:17.550 [Lacer (Kai)]: Who wants it? 04:21.096 --> 04:23.459 [JC (Ryo)]: Can I get the item description in the chat, Riv? 04:23.479 --> 04:24.701 [JC (Ryo)]: Is that okay? 04:24.721 --> 04:25.362 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, sure. 04:25.462 --> 04:26.544 [Riv (DM)]: I'll grab it for you. 04:28.988 --> 04:33.635 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm just trying to remember, is it just like full movement in water or is there something else to it? 04:37.161 --> 04:38.263 [Riv (DM)]: Let's see, how do I... 04:38.283 --> 04:39.945 [JC (Ryo)]: Sorry, I should have looked it up myself. 04:39.965 --> 04:40.927 [Riv (DM)]: No, you're good. 04:40.947 --> 04:41.728 [Riv (DM)]: Can I do this? 04:46.889 --> 04:48.651 [Riv (DM)]: That should open it for you if you click that link. 04:50.634 --> 04:51.255 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, that should. 04:59.665 --> 05:02.769 [JC (Ryo)]: Because otherwise when you swim normally, you've only got half movement, isn't it? 05:04.011 --> 05:04.351 [Riv (DM)]: Correct. 05:04.552 --> 05:04.912 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 05:04.932 --> 05:08.377 [Riv (DM)]: So you can basically, um, you can just go at your normal speed. 05:14.865 --> 05:16.407 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I mean, I'll have it if no one else does. 05:17.787 --> 05:21.271 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm pretty sure it's a downgrade for me, so I'm not too keen on it. 05:21.291 --> 05:26.638 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so it'll be leather, so you've got studded, I think, at the moment, eh? 05:26.658 --> 05:29.522 [JC (Ryo)]: Uh, where am I? 05:29.542 --> 05:30.483 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I've got studded leather. 05:31.304 --> 05:31.464 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 05:32.766 --> 05:35.109 [Lacer (Kai)]: Where do I see the AC on this mariner? 05:36.291 --> 05:37.212 [Riv (DM)]: So it's just leather armor. 05:37.933 --> 05:38.634 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, okay, okay. 05:38.714 --> 05:40.736 [Riv (DM)]: And then the mariner is the magical effect. 05:41.497 --> 05:43.660 [Riv (DM)]: Leather armor, basically, is a leather, I believe. 05:45.007 --> 05:46.068 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Um, good. 05:46.088 --> 05:49.351 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Plus dex, plus dex up to two or three. 05:50.613 --> 05:53.015 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 05:53.035 --> 05:56.499 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, probably Kiwi, uh, Dundar should put it on. 05:56.959 --> 05:58.461 [JC (Ryo)]: Especially if he's got no armor at all. 05:59.422 --> 06:01.944 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, what are you wearing at the moment, Dundar? 06:03.586 --> 06:05.748 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Um, just common clothes. 06:06.489 --> 06:07.990 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh yeah, go for it, go for it. 06:08.010 --> 06:09.832 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay, we'll check, what's your current armor class? 06:12.215 --> 06:14.457 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Um, how do I check that? 06:15.787 --> 06:16.588 [Riv (DM)]: Be on your character. 06:16.608 --> 06:18.632 [Riv (DM)]: Directly underneath your portrait. 06:20.795 --> 06:22.798 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: He'll be at 12. 06:22.818 --> 06:24.401 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Unarmoured, plus 2 dexterity. 06:25.142 --> 06:29.629 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay, so yeah, you'd be up to 13 wearing it. 06:30.230 --> 06:33.776 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's 11 plus dex, so you'd be up to 13 while you're wearing it. 06:35.619 --> 06:36.039 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's a bonus. 06:37.401 --> 06:37.642 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Sure. 06:38.723 --> 06:40.346 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 06:40.366 --> 06:40.967 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty then. 06:42.550 --> 06:43.153 [Riv (DM)]: Fantastic. 06:43.173 --> 06:44.318 [Riv (DM)]: And then so there was the map. 06:45.121 --> 06:46.808 [Riv (DM)]: You can all see that if you like. 06:47.351 --> 06:49.058 [Riv (DM)]: I've made it available for you at the top. 06:49.078 --> 06:51.227 [Riv (DM)]: So that's the Skyreach labour camp sketch. 06:52.473 --> 07:08.329 [Riv (DM)]: And then after that there were some things that there was some crafting that you guys were doing on the journey which I asked you guys to just give me a bit of time to sort of you know plan it properly rather than making up something bad on the fly. 07:09.050 --> 07:16.737 [Riv (DM)]: So this was the stuff that Kai you wanted to make your obsidian dagger and Ryo you wanted to make your gunpowder arrows. 07:17.398 --> 07:20.421 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah I wanted to make some half a dozen explosive arrows if possible. 07:20.671 --> 07:29.341 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, maybe not half a dozen because it's quite a difficult and tricky thing to invent, but we'll do some rolls and see how many you can make. 07:29.401 --> 07:31.082 [Riv (DM)]: So we'll do Kai first. 07:31.102 --> 07:34.186 [Riv (DM)]: So you rolled a 12 originally for the sketches, which was cool. 07:34.226 --> 07:37.710 [Riv (DM)]: You helped, you worked with Gromdal to come up with the design. 07:38.170 --> 07:46.700 [Riv (DM)]: I'll get another roll from you now just to see sort of your, how, I guess, accurate you're able to make it according to what you were sort of after. 07:46.800 --> 07:48.822 [Riv (DM)]: So just roll a straight dexterity check. 07:50.489 --> 07:52.232 [Riv (DM)]: Can I get Kiwi to make this? 07:54.976 --> 07:56.238 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, sure, why not? 07:56.338 --> 07:59.863 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dundar's got Stun Cunning, right? 07:59.883 --> 08:02.087 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I can give you some Guidance. 08:04.871 --> 08:06.734 [Riv (DM)]: All the buffs, yeah, go for it. 08:06.914 --> 08:09.738 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll give you some Guidance, Dundar. 08:11.861 --> 08:16.328 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm not good with cutting rocks, especially sharp rocks like Obsidian. 08:18.569 --> 08:19.810 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 08:19.830 --> 08:22.213 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so you want to um, oh there you go, you got it. 08:23.294 --> 08:31.384 [Riv (DM)]: So this will be a Dex check plus three because you're proficient in smith tools. 08:34.367 --> 08:36.550 [Lacer (Kai)]: Plus, does guidance help with this? 08:36.570 --> 08:40.154 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah and then plus d4 on top. 08:40.174 --> 08:42.737 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah let's go Dundar, smash some rocks. 08:49.838 --> 08:50.359 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 08:51.100 --> 08:52.082 [Riv (DM)]: Is that the right roll? 08:52.703 --> 08:53.444 [Riv (DM)]: Looks right. 08:53.705 --> 08:58.713 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so they've got... Oh yeah, so this Mythstool check figured it out for you automatically, yeah. 08:59.194 --> 08:59.855 [Riv (DM)]: Great, 19. 08:59.935 --> 09:06.987 [Riv (DM)]: So, um, what I will allow with a 19 is essentially, Lacer, you can kind of, you know, 09:06.967 --> 09:08.369 [Riv (DM)]: Have the design yourself. 09:08.569 --> 09:29.498 [Riv (DM)]: What I was imagining is that you could either have the obsidian blade and it kind of looks semi-rough, like it still looks like a stone that's been carved into shape, or if you want you can have an extremely polished blade that looks like a, you know, nicely edged and sharp blade itself that's been polished down to shininess, kind of however you want the style to be. 09:30.038 --> 09:33.463 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll have it rough for now and then we can polish it as we go. 09:33.443 --> 09:34.004 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 09:34.444 --> 09:39.348 [Riv (DM)]: I have some images that I generated if you want some ideas for inspiration. 09:39.489 --> 09:40.670 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, I can... 09:43.092 --> 09:46.535 [Riv (DM)]: I'll drop one image into Discord if you like. 09:47.035 --> 09:53.221 [Riv (DM)]: I'll chuck it in the Notes channel. 09:53.641 --> 09:54.422 [Riv (DM)]: How about something like that? 09:54.442 --> 09:59.347 [Riv (DM)]: Nice rosewood handle with a rough obsidian blade. 09:59.847 --> 10:00.868 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, that looks thick. 10:02.890 --> 10:03.792 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, fantastic. 10:06.077 --> 10:08.202 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so then over to the smoke powder arrows. 10:09.204 --> 10:11.208 [Riv (DM)]: So you had rolled already. 10:11.248 --> 10:12.772 [Riv (DM)]: Roll a final time. 10:13.133 --> 10:17.001 [Riv (DM)]: So, sorry, let me clarify. 10:17.673 --> 10:25.780 [Riv (DM)]: Because of the kind of tricky nature of the design here, a lot of this would have been actually coming up with the design itself because it's something that's never been invented before. 10:26.480 --> 10:34.167 [Riv (DM)]: So I'll let you make either two rolls so you can produce two arrows or you can make a single roll with advantage to potentially make the arrow that you have better. 10:36.769 --> 10:36.969 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Me? 10:37.570 --> 10:38.831 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 10:38.851 --> 10:42.374 [Lacer (Kai)]: If you want guidance, you can have guidance if you want it, if you don't. 10:43.735 --> 10:47.578 [JC (Ryo)]: So I can either get two new, potentially two new arrows or upgrade the one I've got. 10:48.250 --> 10:50.513 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, so, dynamite arrow, you've got that one already. 10:50.673 --> 10:51.354 [Riv (DM)]: That's fine. 10:51.554 --> 10:53.596 [Riv (DM)]: This is for the new smokepowder arrows, yeah. 10:54.017 --> 10:58.522 [Riv (DM)]: So you can either get two, and roll separately for each, or you can get one and roll with advantage. 11:00.044 --> 11:01.226 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll go for one really good one. 11:01.566 --> 11:02.227 [JC (Ryo)]: What do you want me to roll? 11:02.788 --> 11:03.008 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 11:03.408 --> 11:04.890 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, same thing, dexterity. 11:05.911 --> 11:06.552 [Riv (DM)]: Double that once. 11:07.273 --> 11:08.875 [Riv (DM)]: Plus a d4. 11:18.001 --> 11:20.706 [Riv (DM)]: Oh not bad dude, that's a good arrow. 11:20.726 --> 11:21.388 [Riv (DM)]: Pretty good. 11:22.951 --> 11:24.754 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah you've got five decks, incredible. 11:27.299 --> 11:39.283 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah feel free to add to your sheet a custom arrow, it is a smoke powder arrow and it's going to do an extra 46 fire and force damage if you hit with it. 11:47.532 --> 11:47.973 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 11:49.355 --> 11:54.883 [Riv (DM)]: The rear you had were asking about the fuses as well. 11:57.007 --> 11:59.551 [JC (Ryo)]: So you said 4d6 force and fire damage? 12:00.011 --> 12:04.258 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 12:04.278 --> 12:04.638 [JC (Ryo)]: Cool, cool. 12:06.001 --> 12:06.241 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 12:06.361 --> 12:08.224 [Riv (DM)]: And then so fuse. 12:10.027 --> 12:18.556 [Riv (DM)]: You were wondering about how the fuses work, so Jorund, as working with him, you would have found that there are two different types. 12:18.817 --> 12:26.425 [Riv (DM)]: You can get fast fuses, which is they will ignite 10 seconds for every foot of fuse, or you can get a slow fuse, which is one minute for every foot. 12:30.369 --> 12:35.155 [Riv (DM)]: And there's essentially an infinite supply of it, like it's not a constrained resource, they're cheap to me. 12:36.116 --> 12:38.278 [Riv (DM)]: You know, within reason, I'm not going to let you have like 12:38.596 --> 12:42.180 [Riv (DM)]: 600 feet that you can just like run all the way through the camp or something like that. 12:42.240 --> 12:42.580 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah. 12:46.464 --> 12:46.905 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 12:46.925 --> 12:47.706 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 12:48.206 --> 12:55.995 [Riv (DM)]: Is there anything else people can think of in terms of sort of catching up on things that we're doing throughout this voyage? 12:56.015 --> 12:59.879 [Riv (DM)]: Or are we good to progress? 13:06.426 --> 13:07.207 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 13:07.227 --> 13:07.607 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 13:11.047 --> 13:21.519 [Riv (DM)]: So off the back of the fight eight sailors had died and you had laid them to rest in the ocean and the day progressed on after that. 13:21.559 --> 13:24.668 [Riv (DM)]: The shoreline now coming into view 13:25.711 --> 13:33.862 [Riv (DM)]: The weather hasn't turned terrible but the clouds have come in and so the evening is getting dark quite rapidly. 13:34.403 --> 13:40.712 [Riv (DM)]: There's a bit of a cool breeze coming in from the ocean and the odd birds you now start hearing as you get closer and closer into the shore. 13:42.113 --> 13:42.975 [Riv (DM)]: It's going to get very cold. 13:43.475 --> 13:49.524 [Riv (DM)]: You can actually see up on the cliffs as you get closer in there's smattering of snow that has begun to stick on the ground. 13:51.546 --> 13:52.748 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah. 13:55.208 --> 14:10.827 [Riv (DM)]: As you kind of cross a, you know, like a bend on the shoreline itself, you come around a horn and you notice out in front of you now, you see a large river opening that opens out into the ocean itself. 14:14.172 --> 14:16.234 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, Jase, you can use whatever fuse you want, man. 14:18.797 --> 14:20.760 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, cool, so just the two, one on each. 14:21.601 --> 14:23.443 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so you're just going to chuck a 10 second on both of them? 14:24.723 --> 14:26.465 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah I'll add it to the description on both. 14:27.486 --> 14:27.926 [Riv (DM)]: Sweet ass. 14:29.228 --> 14:47.828 [Riv (DM)]: So coming to the mouth of the river, at this point Barrack will signal for the ship to come to a slow and sort of dock up, not beaching it but pretty close to the shoreline trying to avoid too much attention, knowing now that this is kind of the point of no return. 14:49.040 --> 14:56.569 [Riv (DM)]: Once you start heading up the river, we're in it, so this is the time for any sort of final preparations, any plans and discussions that need to be had. 14:59.673 --> 15:01.656 [Riv (DM)]: So at this point, I guess I'll throw it over to you guys. 15:01.716 --> 15:12.870 [Riv (DM)]: Is there anything that you guys want to do in these last sort of hours leading up to the evening that you wanted to chat about, or are you all good to carry on? 15:18.183 --> 15:18.684 [Riv (DM)]: Rested? 15:20.726 --> 15:21.127 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 15:21.187 --> 15:26.834 [Riv (DM)]: Ever undo a long rest because it was another days of travel since the thing. 15:26.854 --> 15:28.597 [Riv (DM)]: And that's the level up you want to do. 15:28.637 --> 15:32.842 [Riv (DM)]: You level up over the long rest. 15:35.185 --> 15:37.509 [Riv (DM)]: Sweethouse says potion of water breathing recovers charges. 15:38.510 --> 15:40.933 [Riv (DM)]: I think you might need to delete that from your sheet, Kiwi. 15:42.770 --> 15:43.952 [Riv (DM)]: Otherwise I might keep coming back. 15:45.074 --> 15:46.716 [Riv (DM)]: You keep swimming. 15:46.896 --> 15:48.098 [Riv (DM)]: It's a bottomless potion. 15:51.063 --> 15:52.325 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, sweet. 15:52.345 --> 15:58.294 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, she'll be all topped up and preparing for the evening and for the day. 15:59.055 --> 16:03.642 [Riv (DM)]: Make sure if you're a spellcaster you go through and specifically prepare the spells that you intend to have. 16:06.587 --> 16:06.887 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 16:09.618 --> 16:21.472 [Riv (DM)]: So unless there is um anything that you guys wanted to sort of chat about um like directly before any of this was happening um Barak is going to send word that he wants to have a chat with you guys in his cabin up in the captain's quarter. 16:25.597 --> 16:31.064 [Riv (DM)]: Just assuming you're all happy to do um yeah you can rock on out. 16:33.206 --> 16:38.933 [Riv (DM)]: Up towards the back of the ship um opening up through the door and you can see him he's sort of 16:40.178 --> 16:46.347 [Riv (DM)]: He's lounging back in his seat behind his desk, kind of just looking, staring out the window, looking a bit pensive. 16:47.229 --> 16:47.529 [Riv (DM)]: Thoughts? 16:48.791 --> 16:50.133 [Riv (DM)]: It's clearly somewhere elsewhere. 16:50.534 --> 16:56.523 [Riv (DM)]: And as you come in, he looks up and says, Ah, yes, Lady Nels, please come and come in. 16:56.563 --> 16:56.944 [Riv (DM)]: Take a seat. 16:57.565 --> 17:01.731 [Riv (DM)]: And you can see there are stools around the room, which you can all grab and sit if you wish. 17:05.035 --> 17:31.444 [Riv (DM)]: And as you come in and make yourself comfortable he kind of just looks around at you for a moment and says I want to take some time now before this begins to kind of lay my cards on the table just so that we are completely aware of where we stand. 17:32.586 --> 17:34.688 [Riv (DM)]: I wouldn't say I haven't been dishonest with you but 17:36.322 --> 17:38.666 [Riv (DM)]: I want you to know why I really am doing this. 17:41.090 --> 17:47.281 [Riv (DM)]: It's not just about sticking it to the Empire, there's more to it for me, as I am sure that it is for you as well. 17:51.248 --> 17:57.739 [Riv (DM)]: And then, yeah, he, looking around at you, he sort of just breaks into a story. 17:59.896 --> 18:05.263 [Riv (DM)]: My wife died in childbirth, it seems to happen, as happens. 18:06.845 --> 18:10.931 [Riv (DM)]: But she left me a son, Baron, and it was the last thing that I had to remember her by. 18:12.212 --> 18:15.777 [Riv (DM)]: He grew, rose through the ranks, and, you know, I was a tough father. 18:17.099 --> 18:27.793 [Riv (DM)]: But he was skilled, and he proved his worth, and eventually, after coming of age, I gave him a ship, and his very first voyage 18:29.005 --> 18:33.850 [Riv (DM)]: To take as a new captain was a requisition from the Empire itself. 18:36.553 --> 18:46.484 [Riv (DM)]: Apparently, and I say apparently because I wasn't there for this, he stood up to the captain that was there from the Empire. 18:47.305 --> 18:54.253 [Riv (DM)]: This captain had apparently been abusing and humiliating the crew members, making them work harder, and he stood up. 18:56.545 --> 19:00.250 [Riv (DM)]: When the ship came back into harbour, he wasn't there. 19:00.290 --> 19:05.457 [Riv (DM)]: The crew said that he had been killed on the spot and dumped overboard. 19:09.883 --> 19:15.871 [Riv (DM)]: From that day, I vowed my life's work is to tear this empire to the ground. 19:15.891 --> 19:21.338 [Riv (DM)]: I just wanted you guys to know this so that 19:23.647 --> 19:26.076 [Riv (DM)]: You realize it's not just a business transaction for me. 19:26.096 --> 19:31.093 [Riv (DM)]: It's not a matter of commerce or setting an advantage up for the Mawbreakers. 19:31.394 --> 19:32.458 [Riv (DM)]: It's more personal for me. 19:37.265 --> 19:41.228 [Riv (DM)]: But, now that I have laid my cards on the table, I'm curious. 19:42.590 --> 19:43.110 [Riv (DM)]: Yourselves. 19:44.171 --> 19:53.639 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know a lot, but from what I heard from Miss Feingold, you had been captured by the Empire at some point. 19:54.880 --> 19:56.702 [Riv (DM)]: I'm curious, why are you doing this? 19:57.362 --> 19:58.783 [Riv (DM)]: And he looks to you, Valerian. 19:59.704 --> 20:01.185 [Riv (DM)]: You seem like a very experienced fighter. 20:01.205 --> 20:06.630 [Riv (DM)]: You've clearly many years of combat under your belt, as I've noticed from you training the crew. 20:06.610 --> 20:09.033 [Riv (DM)]: What do you have against the Empire? 20:12.376 --> 20:14.399 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If I'm honest, I don't know. 20:14.419 --> 20:15.840 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's more what they have against me. 20:15.860 --> 20:20.305 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't remember much before waking up on the ship with the rest of these boys. 20:21.927 --> 20:25.071 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And since then, they've been chasing me. 20:27.093 --> 20:31.137 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And not just in a us as escaped prisoners sense. 20:31.998 --> 20:33.580 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I've been singled out by posters. 20:35.062 --> 20:38.026 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And frankly, all I can remember is how to fight. 20:38.827 --> 20:40.549 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If they want to fight, I'll give them a fight. 20:42.812 --> 20:43.273 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Interesting. 20:44.094 --> 20:44.915 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No memory at all, eh? 20:47.458 --> 20:48.179 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Not really, no. 20:49.321 --> 20:51.243 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Odd little flash, but nothing specific. 20:52.365 --> 20:54.247 [Riv (DM)]: Have you been to see anyone about that? 20:54.648 --> 20:57.011 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure there are priests or clerics that might be able to help. 20:59.014 --> 21:01.677 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We haven't really had the chance, what with... 21:03.057 --> 21:05.703 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Being chased and sorting things out to get this rolling. 21:07.186 --> 21:07.546 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Fair enough. 21:08.348 --> 21:09.290 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So there hasn't been a lot of time. 21:10.713 --> 21:11.234 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, well. 21:13.058 --> 21:16.726 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I hope that maybe this is an opportunity for you to stick it back to them. 21:16.746 --> 21:19.913 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe no longer be on the run and instead take the offensive A. 21:20.835 --> 21:21.296 [Riv (DM)]: You, Kai. 21:21.616 --> 21:22.819 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh, sorry. 21:23.260 --> 21:23.901 [Riv (DM)]: Please. 21:24.202 --> 21:30.691 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'd say, if anything, this is probably going to accelerate the run speed, because I think we all know that this isn't going to end quietly. 21:31.112 --> 21:31.312 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No. 21:32.514 --> 21:34.717 [Riv (DM)]: No, everything is going to change after tonight. 21:36.059 --> 21:36.660 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, yourself. 21:38.623 --> 21:39.484 [Lacer (Kai)]: What drives you? 21:41.087 --> 21:41.828 [Lacer (Kai)]: What drives me? 21:43.490 --> 21:45.433 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, I'm an orphan. 21:47.084 --> 21:49.106 [Lacer (Kai)]: The Empire. 21:49.166 --> 21:51.007 [Lacer (Kai)]: They destroyed my village. 21:51.528 --> 21:53.370 [Lacer (Kai)]: They killed my parents. 21:53.390 --> 21:58.734 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, just like you, this for me is very positive. 21:58.754 --> 21:58.854 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 21:59.735 --> 22:00.276 [Riv (DM)]: It's good to know. 22:01.557 --> 22:02.718 [Riv (DM)]: And I'm sorry to hear of that. 22:05.941 --> 22:08.122 [Riv (DM)]: Hope that you get something out of this. 22:09.724 --> 22:10.565 [Lacer (Kai)]: I hope so too. 22:10.765 --> 22:12.887 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, I just want to burn them down. 22:13.207 --> 22:14.708 [Lacer (Kai)]: Burn them down to the ground. 22:15.629 --> 22:16.770 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, and that I understand. 22:18.320 --> 22:21.325 [Riv (DM)]: You can see why I kind of blew up the ship, you know? 22:21.365 --> 22:26.192 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it was rather theatrical, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it. 22:29.357 --> 22:31.361 [Riv (DM)]: He looks over to Ryo and Erendor. 22:31.881 --> 22:33.063 [Riv (DM)]: You two are very quiet. 22:33.083 --> 22:36.709 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think I've spoken to either of you very much, and you keep to the shadows. 22:37.731 --> 22:40.335 [Riv (DM)]: Ryo, I don't know if I've ever actually seen you without your hood up. 22:41.156 --> 22:44.361 [Riv (DM)]: What does the Empire have on you? 22:48.914 --> 22:50.316 [JC (Ryo)]: I think I can trust you. 22:50.476 --> 22:54.581 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll drop the hood and reveal all my facial features. 22:55.843 --> 22:59.387 [Riv (DM)]: At this he kind of leans forward a bit and almost whistles. 23:00.809 --> 23:02.872 [Riv (DM)]: Now that is not a sight you see every day. 23:02.912 --> 23:04.814 [Riv (DM)]: Full-blooded are you? 23:06.597 --> 23:07.998 [JC (Ryo)]: Mm-hmm. 23:08.018 --> 23:13.225 [JC (Ryo)]: And purely because I am what I am, they lock me up, so let's get them back. 23:14.787 --> 23:15.408 [Riv (DM)]: I understand. 23:15.428 --> 23:18.752 [Riv (DM)]: Do you know anything about what happened to your people? 23:21.095 --> 23:21.916 [JC (Ryo)]: No, nothing. 23:21.976 --> 23:24.460 [JC (Ryo)]: All I remember is being in a forest. 23:27.063 --> 23:27.143 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 23:27.163 --> 23:29.006 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I can understand why you would want to be on the run. 23:29.527 --> 23:31.449 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure the Empire would have many questions for you. 23:31.469 --> 23:41.203 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, I've already heard talk of elves being captured and held, but... Well, fair enough. 23:41.683 --> 23:42.765 [Riv (DM)]: And yourself, Erendor. 23:43.927 --> 23:45.108 [JC (Ryo)]: Wait, have you met other elves? 23:46.270 --> 23:47.892 [Riv (DM)]: Not personally, just stories. 23:49.795 --> 23:50.055 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 23:51.031 --> 23:55.537 [JC (Ryo)]: I put my hood back up and say, this stays in this room alone. 23:55.958 --> 23:56.318 [Riv (DM)]: Of course. 23:56.799 --> 23:57.380 [Riv (DM)]: You have my word. 23:58.842 --> 23:59.362 [Riv (DM)]: Uh, Erundula. 24:00.724 --> 24:02.046 [Riv (DM)]: Haven't met you very much. 24:04.329 --> 24:06.272 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Uh... 24:06.312 --> 24:09.356 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Try to keep away from people as much as I can. 24:10.357 --> 24:13.722 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Being only half-blooded, I'm not quite as hunted as Ryo. 24:14.683 --> 24:14.943 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: But... 24:16.546 --> 24:19.890 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Still, I don't particularly take to authority so much. 24:21.693 --> 24:30.045 [Riv (DM)]: That's fair enough, and I understand, so... Well, you clearly seem to be a man of many skills. 24:30.105 --> 24:32.949 [Riv (DM)]: I hope that they come in handy. 24:34.351 --> 24:35.953 [Riv (DM)]: And finally yourself, dwarf. 24:36.875 --> 24:46.789 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine just based on your people's history alone, you have more than enough cause for wanting to stick it to the Empire, but is there anything else personal that drives you? 24:54.430 --> 24:55.211 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, there could be. 24:55.231 --> 25:01.338 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I may have a backstory and I may have forgotten it. 25:05.523 --> 25:07.185 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: But I just want to bring the Empire down. 25:08.827 --> 25:10.329 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: They did not do well to dwarves. 25:11.471 --> 25:11.791 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Indeed. 25:14.514 --> 25:15.475 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, very well. 25:17.117 --> 25:18.659 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, that's all I wanted to say, really. 25:18.679 --> 25:19.240 [Riv (DM)]: I just... 25:21.548 --> 25:27.396 [Riv (DM)]: It's good to know that you have people around that you can trust and to know what drives them. 25:29.259 --> 25:35.288 [Riv (DM)]: I hope that in the coming fight we can rely on each other. 25:36.009 --> 25:43.659 [Riv (DM)]: Have any of you had any new thoughts or ideas around how you want to plan this assault? 25:43.679 --> 25:45.282 [JC (Ryo)]: Yes, I've had a thought. 25:45.903 --> 25:46.183 [Riv (DM)]: Please. 25:48.446 --> 25:49.007 [JC (Ryo)]: Going 25:49.747 --> 25:52.851 [JC (Ryo)]: We've got the map of the blueprints, or has he got the blueprint map? 25:53.872 --> 25:55.114 [Riv (DM)]: You can have it, yeah. 25:55.134 --> 25:56.776 [Riv (DM)]: Or you can lay it on the table for everyone to see. 25:57.977 --> 26:03.244 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I pull out the blueprint map of Skyreach and the central highest point. 26:03.284 --> 26:06.248 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm like, how high again is this from the water? 26:08.331 --> 26:10.854 [Riv (DM)]: So you're tapping on the bridge itself, do you mean? 26:11.054 --> 26:11.975 [Riv (DM)]: Like, kind of up here? 26:13.617 --> 26:14.719 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I'll drag everyone over. 26:15.359 --> 26:16.581 [JC (Ryo)]: On the actual blueprints map? 26:17.135 --> 26:19.118 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, blueprints map, okay. 26:19.138 --> 26:19.338 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 26:19.979 --> 26:20.440 [Riv (DM)]: Gorgeous. 26:21.561 --> 26:26.588 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, Grondale estimated that it's roughly 400 feet above the river. 26:28.811 --> 26:30.033 [JC (Ryo)]: Ah, damn, too high, okay. 26:33.238 --> 26:34.920 [Lacer (Kai)]: Now, tell us what you were thinking, Rio. 26:35.681 --> 26:38.325 [Lacer (Kai)]: We maybe are having a workaround, potentially. 26:39.166 --> 26:42.771 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, no, with what I've got in my pockets and 26:43.392 --> 26:49.261 [JC (Ryo)]: I feel like I've picked up a new trick after that last little skirmish with the Empire. 26:49.301 --> 26:55.991 [JC (Ryo)]: I was thinking of playing with this and I pull out the rope of climbing and show everyone. 26:56.011 --> 26:58.495 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm like, with this I can get 60 foot in the air. 27:00.438 --> 27:01.980 [JC (Ryo)]: And what time of the day is it? 27:02.000 --> 27:03.342 [JC (Ryo)]: Early morning, late afternoon? 27:04.132 --> 27:08.236 [Riv (DM)]: Currently it's evening, with the idea being that you'd want to assault it at night time. 27:09.236 --> 27:10.858 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, so we're going in tonight, are we? 27:10.878 --> 27:13.320 [Riv (DM)]: If you don't want to, then you can suggest something else. 27:14.201 --> 27:18.665 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, okay, I was going to burn a spell slot to make an example, but I won't do that then. 27:20.847 --> 27:25.611 [JC (Ryo)]: And I'm pretty sure I can, with another set of rope, make that go up in the air. 27:26.872 --> 27:32.637 [JC (Ryo)]: And if it was about 120 foot, I could use one rope to carry me up to the other rope. 27:34.203 --> 27:36.285 [JC (Ryo)]: And then just plant the charges. 27:38.487 --> 27:40.889 [JC (Ryo)]: So I could blow the center arch all on my own. 27:43.932 --> 27:53.200 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't think you carry enough explosives on you to be able to get up there by yourself. 27:53.220 --> 27:54.862 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh shit, how heavy was each one of these? 27:56.483 --> 27:57.244 [Riv (DM)]: It's an interesting idea. 27:57.324 --> 27:58.985 [Riv (DM)]: They are 50 pounds each. 27:59.446 --> 28:00.207 [Riv (DM)]: It's quite heavy. 28:00.547 --> 28:01.228 [Riv (DM)]: You need three. 28:02.989 --> 28:03.990 [JC (Ryo)]: Okay, disregard them. 28:05.590 --> 28:15.639 [JC (Ryo)]: The ropes and the spells can definitely carry the weight, but... Alright, never mind. 28:19.912 --> 28:20.072 [Unmatched Speaker]: Alright. 28:23.039 --> 28:25.362 [Riv (DM)]: So what's the idea here then? 28:25.803 --> 28:26.944 [Riv (DM)]: We're at the mouth of the river. 28:26.964 --> 28:49.254 [Riv (DM)]: I assume we want to sail partway up, probably not straight to their gates directly, but my kind of initial thoughts was we sail halfway up the river, unload, get as many skiffs as we have available further up the river so that we can rapidly retrieve the prisoners. 28:51.297 --> 28:52.759 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, most of the way on foot. 28:56.148 --> 28:58.591 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I look around at the party. 28:58.651 --> 29:07.440 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can anyone lie by any chance? 29:09.342 --> 29:09.683 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Maybe. 29:14.768 --> 29:21.075 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because if any of us could, that would make a big difference to what we could do. 29:24.835 --> 29:26.156 [JC (Ryo)]: Do you see wings on my back? 29:27.578 --> 29:34.286 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, but you're an elf, you might have magical means. 29:34.306 --> 29:35.307 [Lacer (Kai)]: His ears aren't that big. 29:39.812 --> 29:41.814 [JC (Ryo)]: Erindor gets the dirtiest of dirty looks. 29:45.698 --> 29:49.763 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondarr can enhance flight for 10 minutes for someone. 29:53.557 --> 29:55.439 [Lacer (Kai)]: Mmm, 10 minutes. 29:56.740 --> 29:58.282 [Lacer (Kai)]: How far can we fly in 10 minutes? 29:59.223 --> 30:02.086 [Riv (DM)]: You can fly at a speed of 60 feet. 30:03.047 --> 30:06.891 [Riv (DM)]: 60 feet per round, which is... 6 seconds. 30:07.492 --> 30:11.256 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, quite fast. 30:11.276 --> 30:11.937 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh wow. 30:12.017 --> 30:16.662 [JC (Ryo)]: 600 foot a minute, so... 6000 feet total. 30:17.401 --> 30:20.393 [Lacer (Kai)]: So we could fly up really quick. 30:20.433 --> 30:23.926 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you could get up in a bit under a minute. 30:24.207 --> 30:26.356 [Lacer (Kai)]: The bridge is only 400 feet, right? 30:26.858 --> 30:26.938 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 30:30.817 --> 30:33.501 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, that beats climbing for sure. 30:33.621 --> 30:35.404 [Lacer (Kai)]: Someone think of something. 30:36.365 --> 30:38.248 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can we upcast it by any chance? 30:39.069 --> 30:40.411 [Lacer (Kai)]: To make it? 30:40.431 --> 30:42.734 [Riv (DM)]: Not if you only just got it, I don't think. 30:42.755 --> 30:45.178 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, at higher levels it just lets you cast it on more people as well. 30:45.358 --> 30:47.602 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't go faster. 30:48.663 --> 30:49.484 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, no, yeah. 30:49.765 --> 30:53.470 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because if we have more people, we carry more bombs. 30:53.490 --> 30:56.575 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so it'll be a third level slot at the moment, so you won't be able to go up. 30:58.237 --> 30:58.798 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 31:00.955 --> 31:05.761 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: There is only that one arch that's the issue, though. 31:07.123 --> 31:09.226 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: In terms of access, the other two we can access. 31:12.650 --> 31:12.890 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Right. 31:14.573 --> 31:25.006 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think the question is, it takes two kegs to blow the weak point, but a person can only carry one keg, I think was the limiter, I believe. 31:26.808 --> 31:30.473 [Riv (DM)]: I think it was three at each location. 31:31.786 --> 31:35.733 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: A person can only carry two or something. 31:35.773 --> 31:37.717 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I remember there was sort of like a limiter that we couldn't. 31:41.303 --> 31:44.048 [Riv (DM)]: Imagine like a 50-foot like bear keg. 31:44.329 --> 31:45.912 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, a 50-pound bear keg. 31:45.952 --> 31:49.358 [Riv (DM)]: It's gonna be pretty tough to carry both at once, yeah. 31:53.446 --> 31:55.870 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Still, it's probably one of the better options we've got. 31:58.465 --> 32:02.111 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Especially if someone drank a potion of invisibility and was invisibly flying. 32:04.114 --> 32:04.815 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's true. 32:05.176 --> 32:08.702 [Lacer (Kai)]: But you'll still need an extra keg to blow the main arch up. 32:08.722 --> 32:11.726 [Lacer (Kai)]: They just have to do two trips. 32:11.746 --> 32:13.830 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh yeah, and only take them like 10 minutes. 32:13.850 --> 32:16.234 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The challenge is fixing it to the underside of the arch. 32:21.322 --> 32:21.402 Hmm. 32:29.245 --> 32:30.687 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do we have any ideas for how to do that? 32:34.253 --> 32:39.622 [JC (Ryo)]: Well, we have probably all the rope in the world would need on these ships, so we'll probably tie it up. 32:40.644 --> 32:43.148 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The rope farming could do it, but we'd probably have to sacrifice it. 32:44.049 --> 32:45.852 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think we can get around with that. 32:46.633 --> 32:51.381 [Lacer (Kai)]: If you want to lash stuff, the best person I believe I've seen is Desmond. 32:51.401 --> 32:54.426 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I have a number of pittance as well, so... 32:56.515 --> 33:00.900 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Just need to secure the kegs with some rope and tie them to one of these. 33:02.202 --> 33:06.107 [Lacer (Kai)]: And Erendor has three hands, I think. 33:06.127 --> 33:06.427 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Indeed. 33:08.369 --> 33:10.011 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's definitely an option. 33:15.558 --> 33:26.151 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So, do we send an invisible sneaky flying man to place two kegs while the rest of us do assaults on the two pillars? 33:26.553 --> 33:36.153 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, you might need to have Erendor and Dondar work together as a team because he's lighter concentrated than Val, I believe. 33:37.716 --> 33:37.816 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 33:37.836 --> 33:46.013 [Lacer (Kai)]: So they can tackle the main archway and do a relay up and down while invisible. 33:53.907 --> 33:55.229 [Lacer (Kai)]: And that saves me from combat. 33:55.249 --> 33:57.894 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't have to spy to climb up 400 feet. 34:00.579 --> 34:04.947 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't think you have to climb up 400 feet, though. 34:04.967 --> 34:06.309 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, that's true. 34:06.369 --> 34:09.455 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Like, we have to climb the towers. 34:10.817 --> 34:15.245 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Whether we bust through a wall at the top or there are openings. 34:15.726 --> 34:17.569 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Like, we shouldn't have to fly or walk. 34:18.190 --> 34:18.871 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The whole way. 34:19.572 --> 34:20.072 [Lacer (Kai)]: True, true. 34:20.493 --> 34:30.644 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just looking at the Skyreach blueprints, we notice that they have A and B, so we have two columns left and right, so we'll have to eventually split it to play. 34:30.664 --> 34:34.048 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do we go as one team and the other team B? 34:34.809 --> 34:40.435 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is that part of Barak's group that go to attack the other pillar? 34:40.415 --> 34:47.304 [Riv (DM)]: If you want some of my people to take one pillar while we take the others, we can arrange that. 34:48.386 --> 34:50.709 [Riv (DM)]: Again, you guys are the experts in this, so I'll leave it to you. 34:50.729 --> 34:53.753 [JC (Ryo)]: I guess we have two options here. 34:54.674 --> 35:04.127 [JC (Ryo)]: We can go as one group, go to, say, pillar A, then move to the top, and then down to pillar B, and out. 35:04.765 --> 35:07.068 [JC (Ryo)]: Which was perfect timing with whoever just drew that. 35:08.890 --> 35:10.392 [JC (Ryo)]: That was really good timing, I thought it was you. 35:10.452 --> 35:14.376 [JC (Ryo)]: That was not me, no, no, that was not me. 35:14.536 --> 35:16.879 [JC (Ryo)]: We could do a loop and then run. 35:17.580 --> 35:21.344 [Lacer (Kai)]: And do a chain explosion as we evacuate. 35:21.945 --> 35:28.613 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, I've been spending a lot of time with the gunner. 35:29.690 --> 35:30.732 [JC (Ryo)]: Djarans. 35:30.752 --> 35:31.212 [JC (Ryo)]: Djarans. 35:31.633 --> 35:37.121 [JC (Ryo)]: And we've been playing with fuses and I've got the timings down pretty good with some of these fuses. 35:37.222 --> 35:41.188 [JC (Ryo)]: We can take fuses and set up the length so we can have them all blow up at the same time. 35:42.209 --> 35:49.460 [JC (Ryo)]: But as we leave each one we risk the Empire finding our barrel stash and disarming the fuse before they explode. 35:51.343 --> 35:54.448 [JC (Ryo)]: Or we can make three teams and go 4-3 at the same time. 35:56.572 --> 36:05.006 [Lacer (Kai)]: So if I look at the Skyreach sketch, where the labour camp is, what side is more important? 36:05.066 --> 36:05.767 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are we going from... 36:06.689 --> 36:10.034 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does the Empire need to come from the west to get across to the east? 36:10.535 --> 36:12.338 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or coming from the east across to the west? 36:13.480 --> 36:16.565 [Lacer (Kai)]: In terms of direction. 36:18.067 --> 36:18.929 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't think we really know. 36:19.209 --> 36:21.533 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I would imagine they camp at both ends if they're smart. 36:23.791 --> 36:26.334 [Riv (DM)]: You've got, you've got all the information that I can give you. 36:26.774 --> 36:29.718 [Riv (DM)]: Have a look at the Valtorra map, the blueprints and this sketch. 36:33.502 --> 36:36.246 [Riv (DM)]: Unless there's like, you want to make a history roll with other regions and stuff like that. 36:36.266 --> 36:37.827 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ahh okay yeah right, right I see, I see. 36:39.730 --> 36:50.322 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah looking at the Valtorra map, better that we go up as you describe on the Skyrage Blueprint to blow up A before we get to B first. 36:51.365 --> 37:05.140 [Lacer (Kai)]: We've got a choice between speed or safety. 37:06.582 --> 37:16.613 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Splitting and hitting three points is quicker, but there is also the risk of being too small a force to get the job done. 37:17.268 --> 37:22.496 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Or we can move as one, which means it will be safer, but it will be much slower. 37:24.559 --> 37:25.621 [Lacer (Kai)]: I reckon we split. 37:25.641 --> 37:39.782 [Lacer (Kai)]: We have Dondar and Erendor do the midpoint and then we rendezvous from A to midpoint and reinforce and then we all together hit B from the midpoint after clearing A. 37:42.749 --> 37:43.970 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I heard half of that. 37:44.070 --> 37:47.634 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't know if anyone else is... Yeah, he's cutting it out. 37:48.415 --> 37:52.219 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Dondar and myself head to C. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 37:52.239 --> 37:53.721 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, head to C directly. 37:53.741 --> 37:55.443 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Everyone else goes A, rendezvous. 37:56.083 --> 38:03.111 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, rendezvous, and then all hit B. Yep. 38:03.632 --> 38:04.553 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And then evacuate. 38:04.593 --> 38:10.259 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That'll probably give them a bit more time to get the people out of the camp too. 38:10.379 --> 38:11.440 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If we take a bit longer, 38:11.977 --> 38:21.328 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's more time for people to get out of the camp because if we just roll in and blitz it and then run then I imagine it's probably going to take a bit of time to corral up all the prisoners and get them moving. 38:24.252 --> 38:24.932 [Riv (DM)]: That's true. 38:25.133 --> 38:25.673 [Riv (DM)]: That's true. 38:26.134 --> 38:28.036 [Riv (DM)]: Something that my people may be able to help with. 38:28.436 --> 38:39.550 [Riv (DM)]: After the fight with the Empire ship, I think there's roughly 60 strong men and women that we can use somehow in the fight. 38:40.290 --> 38:41.612 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine 38:42.875 --> 38:45.461 [Riv (DM)]: That at some point an alarm may be raised. 38:45.641 --> 38:47.085 [Riv (DM)]: It's a possibility we have to prepare for. 38:47.145 --> 38:51.575 [Riv (DM)]: Would you like my men to come with you initially? 38:52.417 --> 38:54.943 [Riv (DM)]: Or should we hold them in reserve in case of alarm? 39:01.336 --> 39:08.505 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: My personal inclination would be to make as much noise getting the prisoners out as you can to draw attention your way. 39:09.706 --> 39:10.747 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Indeed. 39:10.767 --> 39:20.179 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If any reinforcements that are called are sent into the low ground, they will, just pulling up the labour camp, they'll come down the paths from the upper. 39:20.279 --> 39:22.562 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They won't go into the bridge and then down the lakes. 39:23.423 --> 39:24.985 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That would be unlikely. 39:26.827 --> 39:28.609 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It does mean our evac will probably be 39:29.618 --> 39:34.862 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Tricky because we'll be cut off by reinforcements, but it also means the forces will be not coming to us to defend. 39:35.503 --> 39:37.264 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're up inside the bridge doing work. 39:38.445 --> 39:49.695 [Riv (DM)]: Well, for me, one of the most important things about this whole endeavor is freeing the slaves so that we can get the word out to rile up the rest of the land. 39:50.436 --> 39:59.203 [Riv (DM)]: So I personally will be on the front line holding back the Imperial scum as much as possible while the slaves try to escape. 40:00.500 --> 40:01.121 [Riv (DM)]: Don't worry about that. 40:03.805 --> 40:18.029 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: My personal thinking is, you know, Barak and his men, you guys take the slave camp, make it appear that it's purely a raid to get the slaves out and free the prisoners as cover for us going in and doing our sabotage work. 40:19.532 --> 40:27.064 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So hit it hard, loud, you know, fire all the good things that draw attention while we're doing our work in the background. 40:30.554 --> 40:36.829 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 40:37.130 --> 40:41.460 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It looks like the path from the dock is on the right side of the river, east side. 40:44.688 --> 40:48.276 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: What side are you going to send your men in and attack the camp from? 40:49.640 --> 40:51.022 [Riv (DM)]: In theory we could go either side. 40:52.584 --> 41:01.358 [Riv (DM)]: Docking at the dock may be easiest to have a quick exit so we don't have to beach the ships or anything like that or drop anchor. 41:01.818 --> 41:06.705 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If there's a road there it's probably going to be easier to move people along as well and getting them out. 41:06.726 --> 41:07.026 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Indeed. 41:08.027 --> 41:13.395 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So we should probably land on the other side and move in that way while you're drawing attention. 41:14.297 --> 41:16.440 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You draw it east, we'll head in from the west. 41:17.939 --> 41:37.890 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, so you want us to just full frontal assault up the eastern bank, you stealthy approach on the western bank and then meet once the deed is done and protect our retreat I suppose. 41:40.714 --> 41:46.343 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The extraction is going to be messy regardless of what we do, just focus on getting the job done and we'll work it out, the details afterwards. 41:47.048 --> 41:50.272 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 41:50.292 --> 41:55.378 [Riv (DM)]: Would you like to do any scouting of the area beforehand, or would you like to just go for it? 42:01.424 --> 42:05.649 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Information is good, but there's also information paralysis. 42:10.034 --> 42:10.375 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Fair enough. 42:11.516 --> 42:16.802 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If we can get information without tipping them off, but there's also the risk of any scouting being spotted, so... 42:19.077 --> 42:20.639 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Speed and Aggression may be the way to go. 42:23.383 --> 42:31.475 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We all know whatever plan we make can fall apart the moment we hit contact. 42:31.495 --> 42:36.582 [Lacer (Kai)]: How do we evacuate the labor camp on the west bank? 42:39.807 --> 42:46.277 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'd imagine there'd be bridges across the river or some sort of path. 42:46.297 --> 42:46.637 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I would hope. 42:49.688 --> 42:58.797 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do we know if it's shallow upriver or is it like deep, deep, deep? 42:58.817 --> 43:01.740 [Riv (DM)]: Never been here before, sorry. 43:01.880 --> 43:08.507 [Lacer (Kai)]: Guess we need to do some recon. 43:08.527 --> 43:13.232 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Do what we can, but worst case we just break them out and start sending them south while we push on. 43:15.894 --> 43:19.678 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, sending them south is the only way if the river's too deep. 43:23.675 --> 43:34.832 [Riv (DM)]: I noticed in the fight with the Devil's Wish, you boarded the ship and 43:36.415 --> 43:37.736 [Riv (DM)]: Made a few strategic attacks. 43:37.816 --> 43:43.963 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine you probably may want to do a similar sort of thing to help weaken their forces. 43:44.604 --> 43:52.132 [Riv (DM)]: If you could get in and take out some key targets, it might help in our defenses when we're trying to free the prisoners. 43:53.553 --> 43:54.534 [Riv (DM)]: Just anything you can think of. 43:58.579 --> 44:05.646 [Lacer (Kai)]: Actually, now that you think about it, who's your, um, you've got the doctor on the ship. 44:07.769 --> 44:09.951 [Lacer (Kai)]: She's a half-elf, right? 44:11.312 --> 44:12.573 [Riv (DM)]: No, she's not a half-elf. 44:13.054 --> 44:14.475 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, she's a full-elf? 44:14.695 --> 44:15.916 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, my bad. 44:16.236 --> 44:17.978 [Riv (DM)]: She's not a full-elf either, I think. 44:19.259 --> 44:21.201 [JC (Ryo)]: I just asked if you've seen a full-elf. 44:22.021 --> 44:25.684 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 44:26.425 --> 44:29.227 [Riv (DM)]: I'll let her decide whether or not she wants to tell you about her background. 44:32.710 --> 44:36.814 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was thinking, do we have anything of something 44:38.330 --> 44:55.242 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like herbs or mushrooms or whatever that makes people sick somehow infiltrate into the army's camp and place their food with some additives. 44:56.875 --> 45:00.922 [Lacer (Kai)]: I know I gave some poison mushrooms to Erendor. 45:01.983 --> 45:06.471 [Lacer (Kai)]: I wonder if we should powder form them, like dry them up, pound them into powder. 45:07.132 --> 45:14.684 [Lacer (Kai)]: Someone with the ability to infiltrate into their camp and spike their food before we do an attack the day before. 45:14.704 --> 45:19.833 [JC (Ryo)]: Do we want to risk the prisoners, the labour camp prisoners eating that? 45:20.774 --> 45:21.576 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, no, the army. 45:21.616 --> 45:22.377 [JC (Ryo)]: Don't know who they're going to feed. 45:23.167 --> 45:24.268 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, as in like the... 45:24.368 --> 45:26.991 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm sure the army would be separate from the labor camp. 45:27.252 --> 45:28.714 [Lacer (Kai)]: They would have their own food ration. 45:31.997 --> 45:37.744 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Do we have a day to burn after we've blown up a patrol ship and are sailing into very obvious... 45:39.286 --> 45:44.232 [Lacer (Kai)]: There's no way they would've... they would've heard about it, I don't think. 45:45.593 --> 45:46.615 [Lacer (Kai)]: The ship would be messed. 45:48.136 --> 45:48.216 [JC (Ryo)]: Mhm. 45:48.236 --> 45:51.841 [JC (Ryo)]: Yes, we don't know if that ship was based here, whether it was just going for a loop and coming back. 45:51.901 --> 45:53.022 [JC (Ryo)]: We don't know any of this. 46:03.481 --> 46:05.824 [JC (Ryo)]: Whatever we do, we don't have days. 46:06.505 --> 46:09.148 [JC (Ryo)]: We have to get this done sooner rather than later. 46:10.410 --> 46:10.871 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 46:11.672 --> 46:21.725 [Lacer (Kai)]: Based on the ship map, how far are we away from the mouth of the... what's it called? 46:27.132 --> 46:29.235 [Lacer (Kai)]: How far are we away from Skyreach? 46:30.194 --> 46:32.258 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah, so it'll be a few hours travel up. 46:32.559 --> 46:48.810 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine you would have docked at the mouth of the river, sort of in the afternoon, evening, and then you could sail up the river for, you know, several hours until you can hit in the late evening or early morning or whatever. 46:52.165 --> 47:01.717 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, as soon as we hit the mouth, can I go up to the crow's nest to do a perception check? 47:01.737 --> 47:13.011 [Lacer (Kai)]: I want to see if they've got any scouts or anything at the mouth, like any towers or anything, or any patrols at the mouth, just in case they have anything watching boats coming in and out. 47:14.553 --> 47:21.362 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so I imagine at this point, when we've paused, we would have paused at the mouth itself, so you can go and have a look at that now if you like. 47:23.688 --> 47:25.851 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, feel free to go and roll a perception check. 47:30.157 --> 47:31.038 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ki dook. 47:31.058 --> 47:37.868 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's go. 47:37.888 --> 47:39.370 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, that's not terrible. 47:39.831 --> 47:40.311 [Riv (DM)]: Not too bad. 47:41.393 --> 47:45.679 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you're pretty confident from where you can see there are no man-made structures within eyesight. 47:46.360 --> 47:50.826 [Riv (DM)]: The canyons are deep and wind away out of sight very quickly. 47:53.911 --> 47:55.534 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 47:55.554 --> 47:55.994 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 47:57.196 --> 47:59.580 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I head back down. 47:59.700 --> 48:05.169 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If their command is remotely competent, there will be scouts on the high ground watching south. 48:05.189 --> 48:06.270 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They will see us coming. 48:09.876 --> 48:13.842 [Riv (DM)]: I guess that was part of why I was wondering how far away we should dock. 48:16.486 --> 48:18.990 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, sailing upriver. 48:19.983 --> 48:21.225 [Riv (DM)]: Slow. 48:21.245 --> 48:21.645 [Riv (DM)]: Slow. 48:23.188 --> 48:24.069 [Riv (DM)]: May have to cut sails. 48:25.992 --> 48:30.339 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, just kind of like looking at the gorge itself, I imagine they wouldn't have a lot of line of sight. 48:34.164 --> 48:36.628 [Riv (DM)]: Question would be whether or not they've got scouts posted along the riverbank. 48:38.491 --> 48:40.013 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially something we could deal with as we go. 48:41.676 --> 48:42.537 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We can definitely try. 48:42.917 --> 48:45.802 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Like I said, if they're remotely competent, there will be scouts. 48:47.044 --> 48:47.965 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They will be seen. 48:48.299 --> 48:49.740 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We are not fast moving. 48:50.822 --> 48:56.387 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I'd like to stand the crow's nest and keep my eye out for, um, signal fires. 48:56.648 --> 48:59.330 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's the only way that I'd be able to get word out quickly. 48:59.350 --> 49:02.313 [Lacer (Kai)]: I believe. 49:02.374 --> 49:10.041 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Look around, see speed, surprise, and violence. 49:11.083 --> 49:12.484 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's what makes combat works. 49:13.527 --> 49:14.648 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We've got limited speed. 49:15.088 --> 49:18.992 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We probably won't have surprise, which means we need lots of violence. 49:20.653 --> 49:22.775 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I'm gonna keep guidance up. 49:23.075 --> 49:31.563 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm just gonna spam guidance while standing in the crow's nest as we sail up the river and I'm gonna keep looking and keep looking. 49:33.164 --> 49:33.384 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 49:34.205 --> 49:37.268 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So, Royu, you might want to join him up there with your bow. 49:37.368 --> 49:41.812 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: He might be able to get a shot off on any scouts. 49:41.892 --> 49:42.032 [JC (Ryo)]: Okay. 49:43.177 --> 49:47.603 [JC (Ryo)]: Just quickly, before I leave the... Where's my notes? 49:47.623 --> 49:47.903 [JC (Ryo)]: Sorry. 49:50.366 --> 49:52.449 [JC (Ryo)]: Got so many tabs open, they're all on top of each other. 49:55.072 --> 49:55.974 [JC (Ryo)]: Where's this guy's name? 50:03.884 --> 50:07.008 [JC (Ryo)]: Sorry, I friggin' didn't write it down. 50:07.228 --> 50:09.511 [JC (Ryo)]: I go to the guy, we're still in his cabin, right? 50:09.571 --> 50:10.012 [JC (Ryo)]: Talking with him? 50:12.275 --> 50:12.475 [JC (Ryo)]: Mhm, yeah. 50:13.653 --> 50:18.761 [JC (Ryo)]: How close to winter are we, as I pull out the captain's letter from the prison ship we're on? 50:20.604 --> 50:21.605 [Riv (DM)]: Winter's pretty much here. 50:22.387 --> 50:28.857 [Riv (DM)]: As I mentioned earlier, you can see snow sticking on the cliffs around where you docked. 50:30.239 --> 50:31.020 [Riv (DM)]: Winter is upon us. 50:32.283 --> 50:39.430 [JC (Ryo)]: I flick him the captain's letter and go, they want this to be completed before winter, so we better hurry up. 50:39.470 --> 50:40.450 [JC (Ryo)]: We don't have days. 50:41.591 --> 50:42.192 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting. 50:42.813 --> 50:46.836 [Riv (DM)]: Wonder if that will mean there will be more or less guards posted. 50:47.477 --> 50:52.321 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, hell, they might have already killed all the slaves. 50:54.683 --> 50:59.708 [Riv (DM)]: If they don't need them anymore and they've already finished, I guess we have no time to waste. 51:00.582 --> 51:04.827 [JC (Ryo)]: With that, I'll go up to the crow's nest and pull out my bow and go on sentry duty. 51:06.228 --> 51:06.709 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 51:07.570 --> 51:07.770 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 51:07.870 --> 51:09.872 [Riv (DM)]: Everyone else, everyone else good? 51:10.974 --> 51:12.756 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No, not everyone's falling out. 51:12.876 --> 51:16.159 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm just going to turn to Baraki and say, are you ready for where this is going to go? 51:16.199 --> 51:20.184 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You do know that this puts some warbreakers at war. 51:21.145 --> 51:21.385 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I know. 51:23.267 --> 51:26.691 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You got all your people ready to move out of town, if not moved already? 51:28.662 --> 51:31.085 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Vaeleran... Camaar will no longer be safe. 51:32.066 --> 51:34.249 [Riv (DM)]: He kind of holds you back as the others start falling out. 51:34.750 --> 51:36.612 [Riv (DM)]: And just, like, locks eyes with you. 51:36.653 --> 51:39.256 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure you know as well as I do. 51:39.276 --> 51:41.779 [Riv (DM)]: Not expecting many of us to come out of this alive. 51:43.441 --> 51:45.664 [Riv (DM)]: The most important thing is freeing the people. 51:48.148 --> 51:49.730 [Riv (DM)]: But my men, they know what to do. 51:53.455 --> 51:56.318 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just remember, the object of war isn't to die for a cause. 51:56.679 --> 51:58.281 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's to make the other bastard die for his. 52:00.623 --> 52:03.827 [Riv (DM)]: You see Tears kind of fill his eyes just a little bit. 52:04.067 --> 52:05.048 [Riv (DM)]: They won't start running. 52:06.970 --> 52:08.933 [Riv (DM)]: He nods and I remember that. 52:11.656 --> 52:12.356 [Riv (DM)]: I'll try to at least. 52:15.920 --> 52:22.168 [Lacer (Kai)]: I see Ryo come up to the crow's nest and I help him up and I pat him on the shoulder and I give him a vigilant blessing. 52:24.510 --> 52:26.533 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 52:26.553 --> 52:26.853 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 52:28.955 --> 52:30.377 [Riv (DM)]: So before the 52:31.640 --> 52:37.755 [Riv (DM)]: Before the journey up, the voyage up the river begins, Beric calls all hands to the top of the deck. 52:40.121 --> 52:47.640 [Riv (DM)]: The rowers, who will be able to take turns rowing since we've got an abundance of crew members at this point. 52:47.620 --> 52:49.565 [Riv (DM)]: All make their way up. 52:49.725 --> 52:51.028 [Riv (DM)]: It's a very packed top deck. 52:51.510 --> 52:53.073 [Riv (DM)]: And Beric moves to the front of the ship. 52:54.838 --> 52:57.705 [Riv (DM)]: You guys can still be up on the grozings if you like, you can see. 52:57.945 --> 52:59.449 [Riv (DM)]: Or you can come down, either or. 53:00.832 --> 53:05.123 [Riv (DM)]: But standing at the front of the ship, Beric just kind of looks around at the people assembled. 53:07.651 --> 53:17.550 [Riv (DM)]: Waits a few moments, and then a loud voice that rings out around the clifftops around you, he says, Brothers, sisters, we stand at the precipice of our destiny. 53:18.091 --> 53:26.166 [Riv (DM)]: The Empire's chains have bound us, each link forged with the iron of our forbearance, but tonight we shatter these bonds with the hammer of our wrath. 53:26.146 --> 53:31.276 [Riv (DM)]: For generations, the Empire's boot has suffocated us, pressed upon our necks, a symbol of our servitude. 53:31.616 --> 53:33.841 [Riv (DM)]: Tonight we rise to cast off this yoke. 53:33.861 --> 53:40.153 [Riv (DM)]: We will deal a blow so mighty that our ancestors will feel it in their eternal rest, and the oppressors will tremble at the mention of our name. 53:40.994 --> 53:48.188 [Riv (DM)]: The dawn that awaits us may well be painted with the crimson of our blood, so be it, for it will also be marked with the ashes of the Empire's vanity. 53:48.168 --> 53:52.194 [Riv (DM)]: We will show them that their stone and steel can crumble, that their fortresses can fall. 53:52.554 --> 53:53.957 [Riv (DM)]: Their might is not absolute. 53:54.457 --> 53:55.759 [Riv (DM)]: We will light the flame of liberty. 53:56.160 --> 53:59.184 [Riv (DM)]: A signal to all who have been silenced to raise their voices once more. 53:59.765 --> 54:02.409 [Riv (DM)]: The beginning of the end for those who dared deem us meek. 54:03.030 --> 54:06.255 [Riv (DM)]: So, brothers and sisters, let the call to arms sound forth. 54:06.535 --> 54:09.239 [Riv (DM)]: Let the Empire hear our unified cry. 54:09.500 --> 54:09.920 [Riv (DM)]: No more. 54:10.721 --> 54:14.547 [Riv (DM)]: This night we fight not just for ourselves, but for the future of our people. 54:14.527 --> 54:16.735 [Riv (DM)]: After tonight, everything will change. 54:16.996 --> 54:19.887 [Riv (DM)]: But like the waves, we will ride this change to freedom and victory. 54:20.249 --> 54:21.072 [Riv (DM)]: For the Rebellion! 54:21.092 --> 54:23.602 [Riv (DM)]: And then everyone on the ship, yeah, for the Rebellion! 54:23.622 --> 54:23.963 [Riv (DM)]: Cheers. 54:24.284 --> 54:25.549 [Riv (DM)]: Go out and run with the people. 54:27.217 --> 54:45.143 [Riv (DM)]: Everyone's clapping each other on the back and adjusting weapons, tightening armor, locking eyes with each other, friends, sisters, brothers, as they all go about the ship and get ready for potentially the final voyage of the Albatross. 54:45.163 --> 54:46.725 [Riv (DM)]: So it starts making its way up the river. 54:49.669 --> 54:55.738 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: While it's making its way up, I was going to do a quick round of the party. 54:56.832 --> 55:10.139 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Do the old equipment check, make sure all weapons are sharp, buckles are buckled, spell slots are spell slotted, and inspire everyone so everyone gets eight temporary hit points because we've gone up a level. 55:10.159 --> 55:10.419 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Nice. 55:12.764 --> 55:13.305 [Riv (DM)]: Ooh. 55:15.549 --> 55:16.832 [Riv (DM)]: As evening starts to come in, 55:18.179 --> 55:19.060 [Riv (DM)]: Sun's starting to set. 55:20.222 --> 55:22.425 [Riv (DM)]: The ship slowly makes its way up the gorge. 55:22.445 --> 55:26.411 [Riv (DM)]: You see the very, very tall cliffs kind of immediately come upon you. 55:27.874 --> 55:35.605 [Riv (DM)]: Down on the riverbanks, the snow, still not quite sticking, but you can see higher up amongst the tops of the peaks and the cliffs, snow is laying. 55:35.645 --> 55:40.913 [Riv (DM)]: You see the odd animal, bird, a crow, flies past. 55:40.893 --> 55:48.145 [Riv (DM)]: But there's this odd sort of eerie silence as all you hear is just the splash of the oars and the river crashing itself. 55:48.826 --> 55:58.142 [Riv (DM)]: The river itself is quite wide and fairly rough in places but easily wide enough to handle a few ships making its way up. 55:58.122 --> 56:03.610 [Riv (DM)]: The cold continues to come in. 56:04.150 --> 56:10.439 [Riv (DM)]: It gets colder and colder as the, you know, bitter air and the wind starts cutting into you. 56:11.881 --> 56:17.389 [Riv (DM)]: The cloudless night sky makes it feel even more dark and oppressive. 56:19.692 --> 56:20.974 [Riv (DM)]: No stars, no moonlight. 56:23.350 --> 56:23.991 [Lacer (Kai)]: Awesome. 56:25.832 --> 56:28.054 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do I notice any signal fires along the way? 56:28.114 --> 56:31.177 [Lacer (Kai)]: Roll another Perception check. 56:31.197 --> 56:31.697 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sweet. 56:35.921 --> 56:36.922 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm scouting as well. 56:37.122 --> 56:38.083 [JC (Ryo)]: Can I roll as well? 56:38.103 --> 56:39.725 [JC (Ryo)]: Yep, you can roll as well. 56:40.365 --> 56:44.809 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was going to just Guidance and Perception, but you can check yourself too. 56:45.249 --> 56:46.611 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll give him Advantage. 56:46.671 --> 56:47.551 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm up there looking as well. 56:48.152 --> 56:51.535 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, you want to give me Advantage plus Guidance? 56:54.417 --> 56:55.439 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is that it? 56:56.741 --> 56:57.282 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, okay. 56:58.344 --> 56:59.386 [Riv (DM)]: Damn, your perception's good, eh? 56:59.426 --> 57:00.047 [Riv (DM)]: 9 plus 7. 57:01.209 --> 57:02.051 [Riv (DM)]: Plus a lot. 57:03.273 --> 57:07.481 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so I guess I can tell you, you probably didn't need a really good roll for this. 57:07.721 --> 57:10.406 [Riv (DM)]: The terrain at this point beside the river is rough. 57:10.787 --> 57:12.570 [Riv (DM)]: It's barely passable. 57:13.291 --> 57:18.180 [Riv (DM)]: Hence why this is quite an important location to gain dominance over. 57:18.160 --> 57:23.627 [Riv (DM)]: Extremely unlikely that anyone could try and you know come down these cliffs across the river and back up the other side. 57:23.667 --> 57:27.471 [Riv (DM)]: It's vertical in places all the way down to the river itself sometimes. 57:27.512 --> 57:30.715 [Riv (DM)]: It's almost feel like feeling like you're carving straight through rock the river. 57:31.797 --> 57:33.839 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry the river itself rather has carved straight through the rock. 57:35.481 --> 57:42.810 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah there is very very low chance that anyone would have signals or stations dotted along this river. 57:45.053 --> 57:45.113 [Riv (DM)]: DM. 57:45.133 --> 57:46.615 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 57:48.417 --> 57:57.089 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No, between Medic getting a bit cold, some of these prisoners are probably going to be freezing and more than likely wet. 57:57.269 --> 58:01.855 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Make sure we've got braziers ready to go and something warm to wrap them in. 58:03.818 --> 58:05.040 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, cool. 58:05.981 --> 58:11.809 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, plenty of blankets and stuff like that that the crew can start to pull together from the cargo. 58:15.400 --> 58:17.764 [Riv (DM)]: Right, so the hours start to drag by. 58:17.804 --> 58:24.918 [Riv (DM)]: Evening well and truly comes, gets to potentially midnight-ish. 58:26.000 --> 58:29.005 [Riv (DM)]: We still haven't quite seen anything yet. 58:31.448 --> 58:38.321 [Riv (DM)]: A few hours into the early morning and you notice the ravine and the gorge itself starts to open up a bit wider. 58:39.083 --> 58:53.490 [Riv (DM)]: Until you come around a bend just up in front of you, you see a little structure with a few sort of jetties poking out into the water, which you assume must be the dock that you've seen on the map. 58:55.445 --> 59:07.225 [Riv (DM)]: Barrack, assuming the plan was still to dock here, carries visors to carry the ship onwards and pulls up and it's interesting, you guys are keeping your eyes out. 59:10.170 --> 59:13.215 [Riv (DM)]: Roll one final perception check, Kai. 59:18.203 --> 59:19.165 [JC (Ryo)]: Does he get advantage again? 59:19.686 --> 59:20.066 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, sure. 59:20.086 --> 59:20.507 [JC (Ryo)]: Am I helping? 59:22.546 --> 59:24.994 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's not go, oh no. 59:26.097 --> 59:26.479 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's all good. 59:27.121 --> 59:30.050 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, do I get to add a plus, I mean, a d4 to that? 59:30.893 --> 59:31.736 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or did I add already? 59:34.103 --> 59:35.307 [Riv (DM)]: No, you could do a d4 on top of that. 59:37.632 --> 59:38.813 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, nice. 59:38.893 --> 59:39.434 [Riv (DM)]: 19 total, yeah. 59:39.454 --> 59:43.298 [Riv (DM)]: So, it's quite a bare-bones sort of a dock. 59:43.318 --> 59:45.420 [Riv (DM)]: Like, there's barely even a shack or a structure there. 59:45.460 --> 59:48.283 [Riv (DM)]: It's mainly just the jetty itself that they've been able to build. 59:48.563 --> 59:58.333 [Riv (DM)]: Any, you know, extra effort put into making some sort of shelter or base would have been potentially wasted resources needing to carve out against the gorge. 59:59.574 --> 01:00:03.538 [Riv (DM)]: So, looking around, you don't actually see anyone stationed here at this point. 01:00:03.518 --> 01:00:05.021 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do I see any fires? 01:00:05.041 --> 01:00:05.823 [Lacer (Kai)]: No fires? 01:00:06.424 --> 01:00:07.807 [Riv (DM)]: There are a couple of torches burning. 01:00:08.308 --> 01:00:14.600 [Riv (DM)]: There's like a rough shelter where you might stand under it to shelter from the rain. 01:00:15.081 --> 01:00:17.646 [Riv (DM)]: And there are some lanterns hanging there which are currently lit. 01:00:19.820 --> 01:00:21.102 [Lacer (Kai)]: So it might be occupied. 01:00:22.103 --> 01:00:23.085 [Lacer (Kai)]: No shadows. 01:00:23.145 --> 01:00:25.108 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, from what you can see it doesn't seem to be any people here. 01:00:26.610 --> 01:00:34.541 [Riv (DM)]: So Beric continues the ship forwards, not hearing any sort of calls for alarm or anything like that, and proceeds to dock. 01:00:34.761 --> 01:00:39.448 [Riv (DM)]: A few of the crew jump over the side and grab the large ropes and tie them up. 01:00:42.314 --> 01:00:46.039 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, and behind you, other ships come as well. 01:00:46.420 --> 01:00:50.265 [Riv (DM)]: The remaining ships that have finally caught up with you, I should have mentioned, at the mouth of the river. 01:00:50.666 --> 01:01:00.940 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, they're all, you can see them preparing to, they'll like, flip them around so they're facing back downstream, ready for a quick exit. 01:01:01.501 --> 01:01:03.644 [Riv (DM)]: They're all sort of stacking up in a line down the river. 01:01:05.767 --> 01:01:06.148 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 01:01:06.168 --> 01:01:11.916 [Riv (DM)]: So at this point, you are docked on the western bank of the river. 01:01:14.275 --> 01:01:14.816 [Riv (DM)]: What's the plan? 01:01:15.056 --> 01:01:15.517 [Riv (DM)]: What's the plan? 01:01:15.537 --> 01:01:15.998 [Riv (DM)]: What are we doing? 01:01:17.740 --> 01:01:18.722 [Lacer (Kai)]: We need eyes. 01:01:19.403 --> 01:01:20.224 [Lacer (Kai)]: We need a scout. 01:01:25.052 --> 01:01:27.736 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think we were gonna cross the river and move forward. 01:01:29.379 --> 01:01:30.681 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Scout wouldn't hurt. 01:01:31.336 --> 01:01:32.438 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We need to get the bodies moving. 01:01:32.518 --> 01:01:32.839 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're here. 01:01:32.999 --> 01:01:36.064 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The longer we're sitting here, the more chances there are for things to go wrong. 01:01:36.505 --> 01:01:36.925 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:01:36.945 --> 01:01:37.366 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, great. 01:01:37.406 --> 01:01:43.977 [Riv (DM)]: So, do you want to take a skiff over to the other side and then they can bring it back again and get it ready for transport? 01:01:44.638 --> 01:01:45.640 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:01:45.660 --> 01:01:45.900 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:46.842 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:01:46.902 --> 01:01:47.924 [Riv (DM)]: Just the five of you? 01:01:52.391 --> 01:01:54.154 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think that might be best. 01:01:54.725 --> 01:01:57.068 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I think five of us would be fine. 01:01:58.209 --> 01:02:00.471 [Lacer (Kai)]: If they don't know we're coming, even better, right? 01:02:00.732 --> 01:02:03.495 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, well the noise is going to be on the east bank. 01:02:10.983 --> 01:02:11.424 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Alright. 01:02:11.644 --> 01:02:12.365 [JC (Ryo)]: Hang on a moment. 01:02:12.505 --> 01:02:15.508 [JC (Ryo)]: How are we trying to get this all done at the same time? 01:02:15.568 --> 01:02:17.130 [JC (Ryo)]: How are we communicating between ourselves? 01:02:22.156 --> 01:02:23.517 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Between us and Beric? 01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:24.361 [JC (Ryo)]: Mm-hmm. 01:02:24.381 --> 01:02:27.566 [JC (Ryo)]: How are we talking between our parties if we're splitting here? 01:02:28.568 --> 01:02:32.995 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty obvious when they attack the camp because there'll be lots of screaming and shouting. 01:02:33.036 --> 01:02:35.279 [JC (Ryo)]: That was my other thing. 01:02:35.319 --> 01:02:37.062 [JC (Ryo)]: Are we blowing the bridge first? 01:02:37.082 --> 01:02:38.044 [JC (Ryo)]: Are they attacking the camp? 01:02:38.064 --> 01:02:40.268 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No, no, they're getting the people out while we go set the charges. 01:02:40.688 --> 01:02:43.253 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If we drop the bridge, we're just going to drop it on the camp and kill lots of people. 01:02:43.313 --> 01:02:45.757 [Lacer (Kai)]: So it's a coordinated strike, I think. 01:02:45.777 --> 01:02:49.403 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, so we're not blowing until we hear the evacuation started. 01:02:50.918 --> 01:02:56.025 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're gonna be pushing as fast as I can, they're gonna be pushing as fast as I can. 01:02:57.667 --> 01:03:01.953 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We'll have to play it by ear. 01:03:02.694 --> 01:03:04.716 [Riv (DM)]: Is there some sort of signal we could use? 01:03:05.497 --> 01:03:15.611 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar, I'm sure you can create a spark of fire if something goes wrong on your end, maybe shoot a spark and that'll let us know to advance or progress or is it just all guns blazing? 01:03:18.355 --> 01:03:19.356 [Riv (DM)]: What are guns? 01:03:20.332 --> 01:03:20.753 [Riv (DM)]: Cannons? 01:03:20.773 --> 01:03:21.655 [Riv (DM)]: All cannons blazing? 01:03:24.020 --> 01:03:26.485 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dundar could put some light in the sky. 01:03:27.948 --> 01:03:30.313 [JC (Ryo)]: I could always light an arrow and shoot it in the air. 01:03:31.315 --> 01:03:33.600 [JC (Ryo)]: Light an arrow, yeah. 01:03:33.620 --> 01:03:33.700 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hmm. 01:03:35.671 --> 01:03:42.001 [Lacer (Kai)]: How about we have half the skiffs on one side of the bank and half on the other. 01:03:42.061 --> 01:03:50.414 [Lacer (Kai)]: If we're going to send people down all the way across, I'm sure the people on the west bank are not going to cross the river to get to the east bank to escape down. 01:03:50.735 --> 01:04:01.412 [Lacer (Kai)]: We just send them all south would be the easiest wouldn't it? 01:04:01.432 --> 01:04:01.712 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially. 01:04:04.207 --> 01:04:14.237 [Riv (DM)]: It's difficult to tell, really, without knowing much about the camp itself, but we could try and cover all our bases that way. 01:04:17.139 --> 01:04:20.943 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I mean, if there's a way to cross between the camps, that's a non-issue. 01:04:21.484 --> 01:04:24.427 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If there isn't a way to cross between the camps, we'll just have to work it out when we get there. 01:04:24.947 --> 01:04:25.808 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, okay. 01:04:26.328 --> 01:04:26.989 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Let's just head out. 01:04:27.009 --> 01:04:28.410 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We've got to work with what we have. 01:04:28.771 --> 01:04:30.973 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Not what we might have, I guess. 01:04:31.774 --> 01:04:33.235 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Luckily, someone built a bridge. 01:04:33.974 --> 01:04:39.963 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, your passive perception is 17, right? 01:04:41.004 --> 01:04:41.165 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:04:41.906 --> 01:05:00.793 [Riv (DM)]: As you're hearing this conversation, as this conversation is happening, rather, you swear you hear something, like murmured voices or footsteps or something heading in the direction of where you're currently docked. 01:05:00.913 --> 01:05:03.357 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I would like to 01:05:04.636 --> 01:05:05.657 [Riv (DM)]: The steps start getting louder. 01:05:07.319 --> 01:05:12.486 [Riv (DM)]: You feel like you might have 30 seconds, a minute max before they come around a corner to see you. 01:05:13.167 --> 01:05:14.809 [Lacer (Kai)]: I tap everyone, incoming. 01:05:18.053 --> 01:05:18.274 [Riv (DM)]: Where? 01:05:18.614 --> 01:05:20.076 [Riv (DM)]: What? 01:05:20.096 --> 01:05:21.117 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do I know what direction? 01:05:21.898 --> 01:05:23.220 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, from north they're coming down. 01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:24.402 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, north of us. 01:05:24.422 --> 01:05:28.587 [Riv (DM)]: So you can see there's a path up along this western bank of the river. 01:05:29.748 --> 01:05:30.930 [Riv (DM)]: I would like to hide somewhere. 01:05:32.378 --> 01:05:38.185 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't think we can hide several hundred men in multiple warships. 01:05:38.205 --> 01:05:39.166 [JC (Ryo)]: Just us though, isn't it? 01:05:39.387 --> 01:05:40.528 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Fuck you all, I'm hiding. 01:05:41.529 --> 01:05:45.474 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh yeah, I'm diving into a bush or something, I'm out of the light, I'm trying to hide. 01:05:46.275 --> 01:05:52.883 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so are you still on the boat, or have you come off the boat and you're on the dock now, on the bank of the river? 01:05:52.903 --> 01:05:54.806 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are we across the river, or are we on the dock? 01:05:55.286 --> 01:05:59.251 [Riv (DM)]: So you would have had this conversation back on the western bank before, kind of deciding what to actually do. 01:06:02.175 --> 01:06:02.335 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:06:02.821 --> 01:06:04.083 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I thought we crossed already. 01:06:05.805 --> 01:06:09.330 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I'll be crossed already on the western... 01:06:10.751 --> 01:06:14.376 [Lacer (Kai)]: So they're coming on the dockside, not on the western side of the river? 01:06:15.217 --> 01:06:19.463 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you guys are still on the dock, like, sort of doing the final plans and stuff like that. 01:06:19.583 --> 01:06:20.785 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh fuck, we're on the dock, okay. 01:06:20.945 --> 01:06:23.769 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you haven't crossed the river yet. 01:06:23.849 --> 01:06:26.432 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to hide in a bush and prepare to cast sleep. 01:06:27.290 --> 01:06:27.810 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:06:27.830 --> 01:06:27.991 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah.

What are you talking about? 01:06:42.784 --> 01:06:52.493 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, so looking forwards up and around the thing, you can see there's like a turn, maybe, um, 30 feet around from where the dock is, where it goes around a corner and the gorge sort of carries on around. 01:06:52.993 --> 01:06:55.035 [Riv (DM)]: How close do you imagine yourself hiding? 01:06:56.281 --> 01:07:02.807 [Lacer (Kai)]: From the turn, maybe like, let's see, maybe like 20 feet from the turn. 01:07:04.669 --> 01:07:05.269 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 01:07:05.409 --> 01:07:05.629 [Riv (DM)]: Rio? 01:07:07.972 --> 01:07:14.397 [JC (Ryo)]: I follow Erendor's lead, try and find somewhere to hide, then longbow drawn, ready to turn something into a pincushion. 01:07:14.798 --> 01:07:16.299 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so

with my arms crossed tapping my foot. 01:07:33.811 --> 01:07:36.834 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Where this is coming from. 01:07:37.515 --> 01:07:53.614 [Riv (DM)]: Barak has sort of like signaled the rest of the men on the ship to get ready like you see dozens of people come up along the line of the the line that's aligned the side of the ship sorry with um crossbows just like aiming in this direction and the footsteps like now you can all hear them getting closer and closer sort of echoing around the ravine. 01:07:54.254 --> 01:08:00.021 [Riv (DM)]: Kai with your perception you can kind of hear this conversation coming a bit clearer and you can hear them saying something like 01:08:01.672 --> 01:08:02.653 [Riv (DM)]: They haven't fucking showed up. 01:08:03.374 --> 01:08:05.097 [Riv (DM)]: I

And the conversation as they came, they didn't seem particularly warned. 01:16:07.317 --> 01:16:22.815 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I mean you gather from the conversation that these guys are scouts that are just sort of patrolling the shoreline and they were suspicious and kind of a bit stressed almost because the ship, some ship hadn't turned up that they were expecting. 01:16:24.237 --> 01:16:26.339 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Certain ship that is in pieces at the bottom of the ocean. 01:16:28.061 --> 01:16:29.022 [Riv (DM)]: Fair assumption I suppose. 01:16:30.344 --> 01:16:33.367 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would like to confiscate a horn from one of the scouts. 01:16:33.728 --> 01:16:35.890 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah sure, you can add a horn to your inventory. 01:16:38.738 --> 01:16:45.185 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just want to cause some confusion if we blow an additional horn after we attack from a different location. 01:16:45.205 --> 01:16:48.728 [Lacer (Kai)]: That may be a good idea, you know what I mean? 01:16:49.029 --> 01:16:50.010 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 01:16:50.030 --> 01:16:52.833 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do they have uniforms that are worth using or are we going for full? 01:16:53.193 --> 01:16:54.675 [Lacer (Kai)]: We've got plenty of uniforms. 01:16:55.055 --> 01:16:57.878 [Lacer (Kai)]: Remember we confiscated some from the exploded ship? 01:16:59.059 --> 01:17:00.241 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Those are ship uniforms. 01:17:00.441 --> 01:17:01.181 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Surely they're different. 01:17:03.164 --> 01:17:04.865 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I suppose. 01:17:05.066 --> 01:17:06.467 [Riv (DM)]: They do look slightly different, yeah. 01:17:07.780 --> 01:17:08.622 [Riv (DM)]: But same sort of style. 01:17:09.283 --> 01:17:11.008 [Riv (DM)]: Clearly like soldiers of the Empire. 01:17:12.210 --> 01:17:13.994 [JC (Ryo)]: How many holes did we just pop into one of them? 01:17:14.756 --> 01:17:14.917 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:17:14.977 --> 01:17:15.498 [Riv (DM)]: Or both of them? 01:17:16.641 --> 01:17:17.442 [Riv (DM)]: They are pincushions. 01:17:18.505 --> 01:17:22.254 [Riv (DM)]: A new pattern. 01:17:22.274 --> 01:17:22.715 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 01:17:22.735 --> 01:17:23.697 [Riv (DM)]: So, um... 01:17:24.858 --> 01:17:25.859 [Riv (DM)]: So I guess that's it, right? 01:17:26.940 --> 01:17:29.842 [Riv (DM)]: All good to... so we're... plan is we're splitting. 01:17:30.083 --> 01:17:34.887 [Riv (DM)]: Five of you are going up on the eastern shore, so you're going to have to cross over, and then the rest are just going up the west. 01:17:36.488 --> 01:17:43.134 [Riv (DM)]: Does... do you want Barrack and his men to wait for a signal before assaulting, whatever happens? 01:17:44.215 --> 01:17:46.638 [Riv (DM)]: Or are they just to go in, like... 01:17:46.658 --> 01:17:52.603 [Riv (DM)]: I guess, are you going to go and have a look ahead and then let them know with some sort of signal flare, like a burning arrow, or...? 01:17:53.613 --> 01:17:55.676 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think they're the ones making the assault. 01:17:55.937 --> 01:17:58.501 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They'll attack when they're ready and we'll hear it. 01:17:58.962 --> 01:18:01.486 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It'll be pretty obvious when they're making their attack and they'll be out. 01:18:01.506 --> 01:18:01.807 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 01:18:03.930 --> 01:18:06.134 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Let them give them the best opportunity to set up. 01:18:06.495 --> 01:18:09.019 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, we'll attack when they're ready on their mark. 01:18:11.744 --> 01:18:12.725 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They're the ones drawing attention. 01:18:13.567 --> 01:18:14.749 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They make the noise we go around. 01:18:14.789 --> 01:18:17.393 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:21.441 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, fantastic. 01:18:21.461 --> 01:18:22.622 [Riv (DM)]: So that's it then. 01:18:23.083 --> 01:18:27.188 [Riv (DM)]: The skiff drops down, getting ready to ship you over to the other side of the bank. 01:18:27.908 --> 01:18:32.534 [Riv (DM)]: Just before you jump on the skiff to head over, Gromdahl comes down. 01:18:32.634 --> 01:18:34.536 [Riv (DM)]: He's not fighting, he's an old dude. 01:18:35.598 --> 01:18:43.347 [Riv (DM)]: But he sort of, he grabs you, Dondar, and just holds out his hand to you and says, Good luck, lad. 01:18:46.212 --> 01:18:47.976 [Riv (DM)]: You too, Grendel. 01:18:48.256 --> 01:18:49.399 [Riv (DM)]: Do you grip his hand? 01:18:50.481 --> 01:18:51.122 [Riv (DM)]: Yes, yes I do. 01:18:51.463 --> 01:18:52.986 [Riv (DM)]: Give him a hug. 01:18:53.006 --> 01:19:05.672 [Riv (DM)]: He shakes it firmly and when he draws his hand he makes it into a fist and presses it against his chest and into his forehead in the kind of strange, almost ritualistic way. 01:19:05.770 --> 01:19:11.122 [Riv (DM)]: You would definitely know this being a child of the rebellion. 01:19:11.683 --> 01:19:20.683 [Riv (DM)]: This is a very, very common sign that the dwarves have had in their culture, I guess, for centuries, potentially thousands of years. 01:19:21.184 --> 01:19:23.509 [Riv (DM)]: Went out of fashion, but in the last sort of 01:19:23.624 --> 01:19:31.777 [Riv (DM)]: During the Rebellion it was kind of repopularised to use as a way for the memers of Rebellion to signal to each other. 01:19:32.458 --> 01:19:36.985 [Riv (DM)]: It essentially means, it translates to, may your heart and mind have the strength of a stone. 01:19:38.287 --> 01:19:49.345 [Riv (DM)]: Clearly he's indicating that he wants you to do well and also indicating something, I guess, his allegiances. 01:19:51.535 --> 01:19:52.576 [Riv (DM)]: How do you respond to that? 01:19:52.596 --> 01:19:53.277 [Riv (DM)]: I return the gesture. 01:19:53.978 --> 01:19:55.980 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, fantastic. 01:19:56.120 --> 01:19:59.523 [Riv (DM)]: He sees this and just nods, turns and heads back up onto the ship. 01:20:01.606 --> 01:20:07.112 [Riv (DM)]: As you're getting ready to embark, you can see Beric and Ahri getting into a bit of an argument. 01:20:09.514 --> 01:20:12.417 [Riv (DM)]: You can kind of hear, she's like saying, no, I want to be there. 01:20:12.998 --> 01:20:13.699 [Riv (DM)]: I want to be there fighting. 01:20:13.759 --> 01:20:14.499 [Riv (DM)]: And he's like, no, hurry. 01:20:15.140 --> 01:20:16.361 [Riv (DM)]: We need people to defend the ship. 01:20:16.622 --> 01:20:20.766 [Riv (DM)]: If we lose the ship, then everything is lost. 01:20:20.746 --> 01:20:36.226 [Riv (DM)]: You know, he needs people to defend the ship and there are already a number of injured crewmates from the initial fight the other day that are going to be staying behind and so he's just, you know, they're bickering and arguing and he needs her to stay behind. 01:20:36.266 --> 01:20:42.835 [Riv (DM)]: He kind of just like grabs her back of the head and presses his forehead to hers and says, please, please, I need you here. 01:20:44.257 --> 01:20:46.720 [Riv (DM)]: You're the only one I can trust to defend this location. 01:20:48.421 --> 01:20:54.448 [Riv (DM)]: She looks very frustrated, but eventually she relents, nods, and heads back up on top. 01:20:54.468 --> 01:20:59.514 [Riv (DM)]: Stands and watches while the rest of you get ready to depart. 01:21:03.578 --> 01:21:05.701 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, JC, you can have as much fuse as you like, dude. 01:21:08.884 --> 01:21:09.785 [Riv (DM)]: Within reason, but yeah. 01:21:10.426 --> 01:21:14.050 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, no, three links, one for each detonation spot, just in case we need a slow burn on them. 01:21:15.011 --> 01:21:15.492 [Riv (DM)]: Mhm, cool. 01:21:15.775 --> 01:21:22.082 [Riv (DM)]: I assume you guys have bundled up the... Are you guys taking all of the gunpowder with you across as well? 01:21:22.102 --> 01:21:24.485 [Riv (DM)]: So you'll have nine kegs, I suppose? 01:21:27.928 --> 01:21:28.169 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:21:28.189 --> 01:21:32.113 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:21:32.814 --> 01:21:42.965 [Riv (DM)]: So you can jump into the skiff, nine kegs of gunpowder in hand, and... And the skiff sinks immediately. 01:21:44.286 --> 01:21:44.787 [Riv (DM)]: True. 01:21:46.133 --> 01:21:46.653 [Riv (DM)]: No problem. 01:21:47.614 --> 01:21:59.545 [Riv (DM)]: It's made for a large number of people, I suppose, a few dozen or whatever, but it drops you off, gets back over, and I guess both parties can start slowly making their way up along the banks of the river. 01:21:59.586 --> 01:22:05.151 [Riv (DM)]: How are we going to be distributing the gunpowder kegs? 01:22:06.011 --> 01:22:13.018 [Riv (DM)]: You can probably strap one to your back and carry one, just bearing in mind that if you're carrying them, 01:22:12.998 --> 01:22:16.784 [Riv (DM)]: It's gonna be difficult coming to a fight. 01:22:21.813 --> 01:22:25.599 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I still have 150 carry weight free. 01:22:26.240 --> 01:22:27.462 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If carry weight is gonna matter. 01:22:29.145 --> 01:22:36.357 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I mean in theory you could try and like rope them together and sling them over your back. 01:22:37.535 --> 01:22:38.616 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's what I'm going to do. 01:22:38.796 --> 01:22:45.442 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to sling two on my back with rope since I'm mostly non-combative. 01:22:48.565 --> 01:22:49.426 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay. 01:22:49.446 --> 01:22:50.367 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: One moment. 01:22:50.387 --> 01:22:52.569 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Does this make us walking suicide bombers? 01:22:57.693 --> 01:22:58.934 [Lacer (Kai)]: Saboteurs. 01:23:00.316 --> 01:23:01.557 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How volatile are these kegs? 01:23:03.779 --> 01:23:06.141 [Riv (DM)]: Well, you certainly wouldn't want to get hit by a fireball. 01:23:07.471 --> 01:23:08.913 [Riv (DM)]: Aww. 01:23:08.993 --> 01:23:12.797 [JC (Ryo)]: Can I drag Rope Trick along with me, or...? 01:23:12.817 --> 01:23:15.560 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No, I think it's a fixed place spell. 01:23:15.580 --> 01:23:16.321 [JC (Ryo)]: You just would have! 01:23:18.183 --> 01:23:21.587 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Rope Trick's like a pocket dimension, but I'm pretty sure it's a fixed place. 01:23:21.907 --> 01:23:27.674 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, yeah, that's why I put it in the chat, so I could read it and we could all read it. 01:23:27.694 --> 01:23:31.678 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, seems like it's... Yeah, otherwise it'd be kind of a... 01:23:31.698 --> 01:23:33.080 [Riv (DM)]: Otherwise it's a pocket balloon. 01:23:34.141 --> 01:23:36.904 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, but I mean it's timed and spell slots and... 01:23:37.677 --> 01:23:41.361 [JC (Ryo)]: It's not like it's a freakin' floating bag of holding. 01:23:42.702 --> 01:23:46.506 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, it's not a floating bag of holding otherwise, it's only an hour. 01:23:47.868 --> 01:23:49.470 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, fantastic. 01:23:49.490 --> 01:23:58.299 [Riv (DM)]: So why don't you guys have a think about how you want to transport the kegs over the break, which we'll jump to now, and then we'll begin the assault when we get back, eh? 01:23:58.419 --> 01:24:00.802 [Riv (DM)]: Should we go, what's the time, 27? 01:24:01.462 --> 01:24:02.183 [Riv (DM)]: Go like 10.15? 01:24:03.125 --> 01:24:04.248 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, 10-15. 01:24:04.589 --> 01:24:05.051 [Lacer (Kai)]: Nice. 01:24:08.501 --> 01:24:10.085 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, alright sweet, I'll switch off the thing. 01:24:13.635 --> 01:24:15.902 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, I guess I'm gonna make a cup of tea. 01:24:37.904 --> 01:35:14.871 ================ Session Break ================ 01:35:38.695 --> 01:35:45.287 [Riv (DM)]: I flicked it back on just so we can record the conversation around the keg management. 01:35:47.210 --> 01:35:56.527 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I can take three, we can allocate two to each party member and then one person will be free to run Point Man because they won't need to carry. 01:35:57.869 --> 01:35:58.510 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: My numbers are right? 01:36:00.937 --> 01:36:02.219 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It says nine kegs in total. 01:36:03.421 --> 01:36:03.681 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 01:36:04.082 --> 01:36:08.749 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep, so that leaves each person carrying two, appointment three, and me carrying three. 01:36:09.991 --> 01:36:12.354 [Lacer (Kai)]: How about you carry two, I'll just strap one to my back. 01:36:12.875 --> 01:36:14.738 [Lacer (Kai)]: Will it make my... what's it called? 01:36:16.160 --> 01:36:21.548 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not very... Will it make us more noisy if we have a keg strapped to our back? 01:36:23.251 --> 01:36:25.594 [Unmatched Speaker]: Potentially. 01:36:25.614 --> 01:36:28.699 [Riv (DM)]: Surely not if the kegs aren't on fire. 01:36:30.215 --> 01:36:35.863 [Riv (DM)]: Some ability checks will probably be a disadvantage if you've got one strapped to your back and you're carrying one. 01:36:36.564 --> 01:36:45.196 [Riv (DM)]: So like for example if you needed to do an athletics to jump a wide gap or something I'll probably say stealth you'd be okay because it's not like it's gonna rat around make a heap of noise. 01:36:45.496 --> 01:36:48.500 [Riv (DM)]: It will make you slower though but that's not necessarily stealth. 01:36:48.580 --> 01:36:53.447 [Riv (DM)]: It's not like you know the reason why Kiviyama gives you disadvantage on stealth is because it clinks and clatters. 01:36:54.689 --> 01:36:56.391 [Lacer (Kai)]: I've got mediums. 01:36:56.506 --> 01:37:05.016 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, so yeah, the point I'm just making is that carrying the kick itself won't necessarily make you bad at stealth, but it might make you terrible at trying to jump a large gap or something like that. 01:37:06.738 --> 01:37:08.380 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's no loss to me carrying the extra. 01:37:10.002 --> 01:37:11.765 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If we're in combat, I'm putting them on the ground. 01:37:12.926 --> 01:37:14.768 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm not fighting while carrying three. 01:37:15.008 --> 01:37:18.713 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: At least until you become the first, in which case the load lights up, so. 01:37:19.574 --> 01:37:22.798 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh, ideally we're all dropping them, because... Yeah. 01:37:22.818 --> 01:37:22.918 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 01:37:23.624 --> 01:37:25.627 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so Vael's got three. 01:37:26.589 --> 01:37:28.311 [Riv (DM)]: Who's going to be the one that doesn't have any? 01:37:30.595 --> 01:37:34.962 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I believe Lacer, because they've got the perception to... 01:37:35.843 --> 01:37:37.906 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Either Lacer or Maus. 01:37:38.347 --> 01:37:43.335 [Lacer (Kai)]: The sneaky or the C. I reckon Maus should have the sneaky to get... 01:37:43.355 --> 01:37:45.799 [Lacer (Kai)]: He can hide well and get the jump on. 01:37:46.299 --> 01:37:47.181 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, it'd be better that way. 01:37:47.261 --> 01:37:48.964 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll carry one. 01:37:49.585 --> 01:37:50.466 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or do I need to carry two? 01:37:51.127 --> 01:37:51.808 [Lacer (Kai)]: You'll need to carry two. 01:37:52.818 --> 01:37:54.045 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I'll carry two. 01:37:54.628 --> 01:37:55.874 [Lacer (Kai)]: Strap two to my back. 01:37:58.147 --> 01:38:00.077 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, and so did we say a mouse is gonna... 01:38:00.665 --> 01:38:01.166 [Riv (DM)]: Not have any? 01:38:01.927 --> 01:38:02.107 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:38:02.788 --> 01:38:05.010 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, fantastic. 01:38:06.212 --> 01:38:06.772 [Riv (DM)]: Here we go then. 01:38:08.274 --> 01:38:12.399 [Riv (DM)]: So you start the nerve-wracking journey walking up the ravine. 01:38:12.459 --> 01:38:23.513 [Riv (DM)]: This side of the bank, there isn't a path, so there are a few treacherous sections where you have to cross over some jagged rock, but it is not too unmanageable. 01:38:24.534 --> 01:38:27.077 [Riv (DM)]: Like I said, the ravine has widened up a little bit here. 01:38:27.057 --> 01:38:36.226 [Riv (DM)]: Looking back over your shoulder, you can see the group of 60 sailors are also making their way on the other side, trying to keep a low profile. 01:38:36.366 --> 01:38:40.330 [Riv (DM)]: They've got a few people in advance of the group, so a few people scouting ahead. 01:38:41.471 --> 01:38:50.339 [Riv (DM)]: They will stop at a corner, have a look, signal whether or not the rest of the group should carry onwards, and then they'll meet up and kind of repeat this. 01:38:50.359 --> 01:38:51.641 [Riv (DM)]: So it's kind of slow going. 01:38:52.321 --> 01:38:54.043 [Riv (DM)]: It's freezing. 01:38:55.323 --> 01:39:02.691 [Riv (DM)]: Snow isn't falling but the sky is completely dark because of the cloud cover and they get bitterly cold. 01:39:02.711 --> 01:39:04.433 [Riv (DM)]: There's a bit of wind blowing up through the valley. 01:39:05.514 --> 01:39:10.219 [Riv (DM)]: No animals, everything is just cold, quiet and harsh. 01:39:11.521 --> 01:39:18.869 [Riv (DM)]: As you see this, as you see the group on the other side of the river making their way, how are you guys progressing? 01:39:18.909 --> 01:39:21.972 [Riv (DM)]: Are you trying to keep ahead of them or are you going to be behind them or roughly in line? 01:39:25.799 --> 01:39:29.925 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, probably a little behind because they need time to set up their attack and then launch it. 01:39:31.126 --> 01:39:36.193 [JC (Ryo)]: Are we on a path or are we just purely just walking along like the bank in the tree line? 01:39:36.493 --> 01:39:37.214 [JC (Ryo)]: Bush bashing. 01:39:38.636 --> 01:39:42.622 [Riv (DM)]: Sometimes you need to go down to the river to sort of wade through shallow. 01:39:42.662 --> 01:39:45.546 [Riv (DM)]: Sometimes you're kind of scrambling over sharp rocks and stuff. 01:39:45.966 --> 01:39:48.289 [Riv (DM)]: It's tough going, but it's not too bad. 01:39:48.930 --> 01:39:54.658 [JC (Ryo)]: We should probably try and keep a touch in front of them because we're going to have spots where we're going to be hindered by movement. 01:39:55.398 --> 01:39:56.681 [JC (Ryo)]: We'll need time to get around stuff. 01:40:00.929 --> 01:40:01.230 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 01:40:01.410 --> 01:40:06.881 [Riv (DM)]: So... 01:40:06.901 --> 01:40:07.963 [JC (Ryo)]: Does everyone agree with that? 01:40:09.406 --> 01:40:11.390 [Riv (DM)]: Sure. 01:40:11.410 --> 01:40:12.692 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:40:14.035 --> 01:40:15.077 [Riv (DM)]: Let me see. 01:40:17.183 --> 01:40:23.578 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I nearly just had a heart attack because I thought that I hadn't got a scene set up. 01:40:23.598 --> 01:40:26.444 [Riv (DM)]: I do, it's just we've got too many toggled at the moment so it's not showing up on the list. 01:40:26.905 --> 01:40:27.206 [Riv (DM)]: All good. 01:40:28.228 --> 01:40:35.665 [Riv (DM)]: So, it gets to a point now where you've been sort of walking for maybe half an hour or so. 01:40:35.645 --> 01:40:43.675 [Riv (DM)]: And in front of you, you come around a corner and you start seeing glow of lights. 01:40:44.416 --> 01:40:47.981 [Riv (DM)]: You must be, you know, approaching the destination. 01:40:48.041 --> 01:40:53.728 [Riv (DM)]: There's like kind of a dark shadow up in the sky in front of you. 01:40:54.689 --> 01:40:56.512 [Riv (DM)]: It's a bit bizarre to think about. 01:40:57.593 --> 01:40:59.796 [Riv (DM)]: Nothing could be that big. 01:40:59.776 --> 01:41:04.063 [Riv (DM)]: And nothing could blot out that much darkness against the already pretty dark background. 01:41:04.804 --> 01:41:13.298 [Riv (DM)]: But as you're kind of sitting there and contemplating this, trying to make out what that is, the cloud starts to part a little bit and the moon starts poking through. 01:41:13.338 --> 01:41:18.687 [Riv (DM)]: Full-blown massive moon with the secondary moon you can see now in the background behind it as well. 01:41:19.709 --> 01:41:22.414 [Riv (DM)]: And the light kind of hits the valley and lights everything up. 01:41:23.115 --> 01:41:26.340 [Riv (DM)]: And you kind of see something along the lines of this. 01:41:31.315 --> 01:41:34.500 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, this is good and bad. 01:41:35.341 --> 01:41:36.943 [Riv (DM)]: It is a massive structure. 01:41:37.164 --> 01:41:39.006 [Riv (DM)]: You've heard it's 400 feet tall. 01:41:40.308 --> 01:41:43.713 [Riv (DM)]: It's hard to really conceptualize just how tall that actually is. 01:41:45.856 --> 01:41:46.938 [Riv (DM)]: You can't even comprehend it. 01:41:47.258 --> 01:41:50.123 [Riv (DM)]: It reaches from the very, very peaks of the ravine all the way across. 01:41:51.324 --> 01:41:52.646 [Riv (DM)]: It's potentially miles long. 01:41:54.729 --> 01:41:56.532 [Riv (DM)]: You can't even see where it hits the edge. 01:41:56.572 --> 01:42:00.698 [Riv (DM)]: It just carves its way into the side of the ravine and disappears. 01:42:03.057 --> 01:42:10.591 [Riv (DM)]: With this new light that has been illuminated through the valley you can now also see in front of you the edge of the camp. 01:42:13.035 --> 01:42:16.701 [Riv (DM)]: There is a stone wall that you can't see past. 01:42:17.423 --> 01:42:27.040 [Riv (DM)]: On your side of the bank the stone wall is all the way across and digging into the side of the ravine with a roof what looks like some sort of guard barracks or tower on top of the wall. 01:42:27.020 --> 01:42:53.787 [Riv (DM)]: Looking across to the other side of the bank on the eastern side as you kind of look across and follow the wall you can see in the middle of the river there is a large grating that is covered it's like a you know like a gate in the wall itself that's covered by a steel grating and then further along on the other side you can also see a similar gate with a steel grating that is currently closed and there's also some sort of building or barracks on top of the wall there as well. 01:42:53.767 --> 01:43:23.149 [Riv (DM)]: Patrolling along the top of the wall you can see a torch probably being held by a man patrolling and yeah at this point assuming you guys have been a bit ahead the the group the large group of sailors on the other side of the bank probably haven't seen this yet you can see that's all back around another bend but they're making their way and you can see the two guys they who are scouting they they poke on ahead see this 01:43:24.293 --> 01:43:28.258 [Riv (DM)]: You can kind of see them deliberating around how best to approach this. 01:43:29.239 --> 01:43:33.624 [Riv (DM)]: This is a very formidable looking wall. 01:43:36.648 --> 01:43:38.490 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: This isn't a camp, this is a fucking fortress. 01:43:41.413 --> 01:43:48.702 [Lacer (Kai)]: Our intel was wrong. 01:43:48.722 --> 01:43:53.608 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, still got a mission to do, but it just got a lot more messy. 01:43:54.938 --> 01:43:58.886 [Lacer (Kai)]: Good thing is, there's forest around. 01:43:58.906 --> 01:44:00.569 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How much gunpowder did we bring again? 01:44:01.210 --> 01:44:02.172 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Just enough, or? 01:44:05.118 --> 01:44:12.051 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, Dondar, you do your question first, then we'll go to Rian. 01:44:12.331 --> 01:44:13.574 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How much gunpowder did we bring? 01:44:14.195 --> 01:44:16.339 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Just enough, or did we have extra? 01:44:17.534 --> 01:44:21.461 [Riv (DM)]: Based on the blueprints, you've got enough. 01:44:22.383 --> 01:44:24.887 [Riv (DM)]: The structure doesn't look different to how the blueprints had it. 01:44:24.907 --> 01:44:27.953 [Riv (DM)]: It's just seeing it in person is just wild. 01:44:29.095 --> 01:44:30.217 [Riv (DM)]: Do we have more than enough? 01:44:31.279 --> 01:44:33.122 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Or do we have as much as... 01:44:33.343 --> 01:44:35.206 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Exactly enough, yeah. 01:44:35.226 --> 01:44:39.053 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay, so we don't have any to spare for other walls. 01:44:40.805 --> 01:44:47.915 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, and we're not blowing holes in walls because that's a big flag that says, hey, there's a small infiltration force coming through this wall. 01:44:48.435 --> 01:44:50.598 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Come attack them instead of the giant army on the other side. 01:44:52.761 --> 01:44:55.145 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We let the other force engage, draw attention. 01:44:55.185 --> 01:44:59.010 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That'll draw our eyes off this side and hopefully we can slip over. 01:45:01.654 --> 01:45:04.197 [Riv (DM)]: That's our best bet. 01:45:05.915 --> 01:45:16.007 [Riv (DM)]: Looking back at the other group, you can see a figure has come to the front again and is kind of motioning across to you. 01:45:17.409 --> 01:45:22.755 [Riv (DM)]: I guess everyone just roll a perception check to see if you can figure out what they're motioning. 01:45:26.479 --> 01:45:33.087 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does anyone want to decipher with advantage? 01:45:37.808 --> 01:45:38.509 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah. 01:45:40.230 --> 01:45:54.843 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, I mean there's a bit of like, you can see them kind of saying, looking like unsure, uncertainty, like we're not sure exactly the best way to approach this, and potentially almost signalling like they want to back up to discuss it. 01:45:55.544 --> 01:46:06.313 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar, with a natural 20, you can kind of see the gesturing with like their hands to kind of make a gate sign, like pointing at you, gate with their hands, and then open gate. 01:46:07.424 --> 01:46:09.346 [Riv (DM)]: Pointing at you, gates, open gate. 01:46:09.726 --> 01:46:14.551 [Riv (DM)]: And then they're kind of saying come back if you want to try and discuss in more detail. 01:46:17.634 --> 01:46:25.281 [Riv (DM)]: You can remember like a few minutes back there was a part where the river was slightly more narrow that you could potentially try and call across to each other. 01:46:27.003 --> 01:46:31.327 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah. 01:46:31.347 --> 01:46:31.887 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You think I should? 01:46:32.968 --> 01:46:35.811 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think the message is pretty clear. 01:46:39.503 --> 01:46:42.267 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They want us to pop the gate so they can push in. 01:46:43.168 --> 01:46:51.058 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Good news is we don't have to worry about sending people down either side of the river because the inside of the camp obviously has many crossings across the river, including the wall. 01:46:57.686 --> 01:46:57.926 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay. 01:46:59.789 --> 01:47:04.735 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Erindor, this is definitely your wheelhouse for sneaky shenanigans in the dark. 01:47:06.048 --> 01:47:09.834 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The chances of pushing along the wall and cracking that gatehouse open. 01:47:11.857 --> 01:47:12.859 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Can definitely give it a shot. 01:47:18.848 --> 01:47:23.315 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I would like to try and find a way onto the wall to get across. 01:47:24.617 --> 01:47:26.861 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so why don't you roll a perception check. 01:47:26.881 --> 01:47:29.866 [Riv (DM)]: So do you want to try and get a bit closer to take a better look at it? 01:47:30.907 --> 01:47:31.689 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:47:31.709 --> 01:47:32.189 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, go for it. 01:47:32.229 --> 01:47:33.912 [Riv (DM)]: Roll your stealth to see. 01:47:35.427 --> 01:47:36.028 [Riv (DM)]: Ow. 01:47:36.328 --> 01:47:36.529 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:47:39.633 --> 01:47:39.873 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:47:40.775 --> 01:47:42.297 [Riv (DM)]: You don't have, like, advantage from anything? 01:47:46.303 --> 01:47:49.147 [JC (Ryo)]: I thought you told me to roll Perception, not Stealth. 01:47:49.768 --> 01:47:51.510 [Riv (DM)]: Earendor was trying to get closer, so he's Stealthing. 01:47:52.612 --> 01:47:52.732 [JC (Ryo)]: Ah. 01:47:53.273 --> 01:47:53.513 [JC (Ryo)]: Sorry. 01:47:54.815 --> 01:47:58.060 [Riv (DM)]: I'm gonna roll a Perception check for the Guard. 01:48:02.782 --> 01:48:18.599 [Riv (DM)]: You start making your way up along the riverbank and the torch that has been sort of going across the wall, you can see he's sort of like come across to this side of the river now, just stops and then slowly turns around and starts heading the other direction. 01:48:19.580 --> 01:48:21.302 [Riv (DM)]: You get the feeling like he probably didn't see you. 01:48:23.845 --> 01:48:27.709 [Riv (DM)]: Now that you're a bit closer, feel free to roll a possession check to have a look around. 01:48:35.958 --> 01:48:36.318 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 01:48:36.619 --> 01:48:38.721 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:48:39.121 --> 01:48:40.643 [Riv (DM)]: Let me do something. 01:48:41.183 --> 01:48:52.295 [Riv (DM)]: Deathmouse, you are not this close, but this is essentially what you see. 01:48:52.315 --> 01:48:53.536 [Riv (DM)]: I'm just going to drag you over to a map. 01:48:55.959 --> 01:48:56.940 [Riv (DM)]: Hopefully this is the right person. 01:48:58.221 --> 01:49:00.224 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yes. 01:49:00.244 --> 01:49:01.645 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Looting, looting, looting. 01:49:13.960 --> 01:49:15.735 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, how long do you want to stay there? 01:49:17.858 --> 01:49:20.681 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, so sorry, let me describe this to you as well. 01:49:20.941 --> 01:49:26.026 [Riv (DM)]: You can, yeah, so this wall you can see on the map here, stretches across, you can see the gate in the middle of the river. 01:49:27.267 --> 01:49:30.891 [Riv (DM)]: There's this building up on top of the wall with a slate roof. 01:49:31.311 --> 01:49:36.416 [Riv (DM)]: The wall itself is about 15 feet maybe, 15, 20 feet. 01:49:37.157 --> 01:49:45.165 [Riv (DM)]: And it's got the, you know, the arrow, whatever you call them, the arrow, oh they'll help me out here, you know what they're called? 01:49:45.145 --> 01:49:46.988 [Riv (DM)]: Buttresses or something? 01:49:47.509 --> 01:49:47.730 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway. 01:49:48.491 --> 01:49:49.874 [Riv (DM)]: Along the top of the wall. 01:49:50.836 --> 01:49:51.377 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, crenellations? 01:49:52.138 --> 01:49:52.719 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, something like that. 01:49:54.062 --> 01:49:55.825 [Riv (DM)]: But other than that, there is no opening on this side. 01:49:55.865 --> 01:49:58.009 [Riv (DM)]: There is no gate in here. 01:49:58.350 --> 01:50:02.277 [Riv (DM)]: On the other side of the map you can see there is a gate, but on this side it's just a wall. 01:50:03.438 --> 01:50:07.825 [Riv (DM)]: But you can see clearly the top of the wall is walkable all the way across. 01:50:09.568 --> 01:50:16.279 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so if you'd like to head on back, you can, or you can stay a bit longer and keep an eye out. 01:50:18.743 --> 01:50:22.369 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I will head back to let them know what I've seen. 01:50:22.990 --> 01:50:24.352 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:50:24.372 --> 01:50:27.657 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, feel free to describe what you just saw to them. 01:50:33.526 --> 01:50:38.834 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Okay, so this wall is... something alright. 01:50:40.036 --> 01:50:45.144 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Looks like we've got a bit of a... shelter on top of the wall on this side. 01:50:45.945 --> 01:50:49.791 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Can't tell you if there's much more than just a roof there from where I was. 01:50:52.014 --> 01:50:53.156 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: But there's no way through. 01:50:53.196 --> 01:50:55.399 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The only way through is the other side. 01:50:58.904 --> 01:51:01.288 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I... Climbable? 01:51:05.875 --> 01:51:09.341 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, I'm... 01:51:09.361 --> 01:51:10.924 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's not gonna be easy with the cake. 01:51:15.292 --> 01:51:19.499 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I've got my pittance, however, they're probably gonna make a bit of noise. 01:51:20.060 --> 01:51:28.335 [Unmatched Speaker]: Yeah. 01:51:28.355 --> 01:51:30.178 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We could probably... 01:51:31.762 --> 01:51:36.146 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Burn a keg to blow at the gatehouse, but that was a bit extreme. 01:51:38.288 --> 01:51:40.029 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: That's gonna make a hell of a lot of noise. 01:51:40.530 --> 01:51:48.777 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, it's meant to make noise because the whole point is to create an attack that's a diversion, but... Can't we hop over the wall and open it from the inside? 01:51:52.600 --> 01:51:53.721 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Bringing the kegs up with us? 01:51:54.502 --> 01:51:55.503 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We could leave them outside. 01:51:55.523 --> 01:51:58.906 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's not gonna be so breezy. 01:51:58.926 --> 01:52:00.107 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: As long as they stay still. 01:52:00.127 --> 01:52:01.228 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We could rope them up and... 01:52:01.850 --> 01:52:05.694 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Once we crack the gate, fall back along the wall and grab them and continue on our mission. 01:52:09.419 --> 01:52:09.499 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yep. 01:52:09.519 --> 01:52:12.843 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Probably best not to take them in, in case we lose them or they blow up. 01:52:16.106 --> 01:52:22.574 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's just a case of moving along the wall, anyone we run into has to be taken down silently and immediately. 01:52:22.594 --> 01:52:30.743 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I wish we knew someone that was good at that. 01:52:32.512 --> 01:52:33.774 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay. 01:52:33.794 --> 01:52:35.156 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Was there heavy patrols or just the one? 01:52:37.720 --> 01:52:39.103 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I only saw the one. 01:52:39.123 --> 01:52:40.104 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay, so they're not... 01:52:40.325 --> 01:52:43.870 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: He's carrying a torch as well, so his vision's not going to be super great. 01:52:43.890 --> 01:52:48.398 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was about to say, not only are they undermanned, they're incompetent, which is always a bonus. 01:52:48.818 --> 01:52:55.549 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: That puppy's screaming, I need to back him. 01:52:57.841 --> 01:52:59.704 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright guys. 01:52:59.724 --> 01:53:06.693 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We've got to get the mission done and make the progress as soon as Erendor's back from his brief excursion into the trees. 01:53:09.437 --> 01:53:15.986 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'd say we're just going to have to try and get close to the wall while the guard is patrolling away and get ourselves on and ambush him. 01:53:18.049 --> 01:53:19.251 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If anyone else has a better idea. 01:53:20.252 --> 01:53:23.317 [JC (Ryo)]: I've got something that can help us get close. 01:53:23.337 --> 01:53:25.360 [JC (Ryo)]: Pretty sure I've got something that can help us get close. 01:53:27.543 --> 01:53:27.763 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:53:30.140 --> 01:53:32.062 [Riv (DM)]: So, this is the moment. 01:53:32.463 --> 01:53:33.584 [Riv (DM)]: The moment of no return, guys. 01:53:33.604 --> 01:53:36.668 [Riv (DM)]: I need you all to make sure you've looked at your inventory. 01:53:37.029 --> 01:53:39.231 [Riv (DM)]: You're aware of everything that's there. 01:53:39.252 --> 01:53:40.553 [Riv (DM)]: You've got all your spells prepared. 01:53:42.135 --> 01:53:45.720 [Riv (DM)]: After this point, there's not going to be any take-backs in terms of, oh, could I have done this? 01:53:48.623 --> 01:53:49.825 [Riv (DM)]: So have a quick check. 01:53:49.865 --> 01:53:53.149 [Riv (DM)]: Make sure you know all the stuff you're holding, all the tools you've got available. 01:53:54.351 --> 01:53:57.835 [Riv (DM)]: Be aware of all your spells, and then we'll see what happens. 01:54:02.590 --> 01:54:03.291 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Weather permitting. 01:54:03.852 --> 01:54:04.032 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yep. 01:54:07.477 --> 01:54:07.958 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 01:54:08.439 --> 01:54:11.063 [Riv (DM)]: Mouse, give a shout when you're back. 01:54:11.083 --> 01:54:11.423 [Riv (DM)]: Are you there? 01:54:11.944 --> 01:54:12.224 [Riv (DM)]: Back. 01:54:13.406 --> 01:54:14.948 [Riv (DM)]: Looks like he's not. 01:54:15.049 --> 01:54:15.549 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry about that. 01:54:15.910 --> 01:54:16.591 [Riv (DM)]: No, no, all good, mate. 01:54:17.152 --> 01:54:17.372 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:54:17.452 --> 01:54:19.695 [Riv (DM)]: So, the plan then. 01:54:20.236 --> 01:54:22.319 [Riv (DM)]: Are we creeping up on this side? 01:54:23.802 --> 01:54:24.002 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 01:54:24.703 --> 01:54:30.191 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Preferably as we see the guard patrolling away because there's nobody carrying a torch so we can see his movements. 01:54:30.632 --> 01:54:30.792 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:54:31.143 --> 01:54:32.085 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool, good idea. 01:54:32.726 --> 01:54:37.836 [Riv (DM)]: Um...

Can you all kind of see the wall and it's blacked out at the moment? 01:59:34.952 --> 01:59:35.252 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:59:35.272 --> 01:59:37.815 [Riv (DM)]: I will now enable vision for everyone. 01:59:39.179 --> 01:59:41.201 [Riv (DM)]: So once you're up on the wall this is kind of what you can see. 01:59:41.562 --> 01:59:56.279 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm having flashbacks to the one time in another campaign where my party tried to infiltrate an orc camp and it all went wrong and by the end of the session we had like 35 dead orcs. 01:59:58.281 --> 01:59:59.422 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It looked very similar to this. 02:00:01.344 --> 02:00:02.706 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Doesn't sound like it went too wrong. 02:00:03.428 --> 02:00:05.350 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It was a cost a fuck of epic proportions. 02:00:05.591 --> 02:00:05.751 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:00:06.512 --> 02:00:17.045 [Riv (DM)]: So I don't want us to spend too much time looking at this map because I always feel like looking at battle maps you get kind of keyed into the map itself rather than trying to kind of picture what's going on but just so you can kind of get a lay of the land. 02:00:17.786 --> 02:00:20.369 [Riv (DM)]: You can see pretty close to where you are on the wall. 02:00:20.389 --> 02:00:22.031 [Riv (DM)]: So you guys are here at the moment. 02:00:24.194 --> 02:00:27.478 [Riv (DM)]: Like roughly here. 02:00:27.458 --> 02:00:56.520 [Riv (DM)]: Down in front of you you can see there's this one large bastion like halfway kind of up this this um this western side over on the eastern side you can see another bastion and then just tent city everywhere um at this close range you can see down to the tents just beyond the wall in front of you um there are people in rags and they've all got chains hooked up to these poles so there's like a center pole whether where a group of tents is around um and then everyone is just kind of chained to that central pole 02:00:57.749 --> 02:00:58.550 [Riv (DM)]: There are torches. 02:00:59.833 --> 02:01:02.938 [Riv (DM)]: You can see on the bastion there are a couple of people patrolling the wall. 02:01:03.859 --> 02:01:09.629 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, I guess that's basically what you see. 02:01:09.649 --> 02:01:18.525 [Riv (DM)]: You can see kind of just like all sorts of movement throughout the tent city itself as there's potentially hundreds if not a thousand people here in this camp. 02:01:21.289 --> 02:01:22.812 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so that said, 02:01:25.694 --> 02:01:26.715 [Riv (DM)]: You're on the top of the wall now. 02:01:27.176 --> 02:01:27.736 [Riv (DM)]: What's the plan? 02:01:27.796 --> 02:01:28.217 [Riv (DM)]: What are you doing? 02:01:29.999 --> 02:01:41.030 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We need to get into probably the nearest little building along the wall, gatehouse, tower, whatever, so we can ambush Mr Torchyman when he comes back, I guess. 02:01:41.651 --> 02:01:44.074 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Because otherwise he's just going to look along the wall and immediately see us. 02:01:44.714 --> 02:01:47.337 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I was going to say, did you just point him out? 02:01:47.798 --> 02:01:50.661 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, fucking hell. 02:01:51.622 --> 02:01:54.705 [Riv (DM)]: Let's just jump back to the other scene, eh? 02:01:55.630 --> 02:02:01.321 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll change, we'll push the Torque. 02:02:01.342 --> 02:02:04.167 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, the guard, he's halfway across the river heading in that direction. 02:02:05.410 --> 02:02:06.251 [Riv (DM)]: What are you guys doing? 02:02:06.452 --> 02:02:08.255 [Riv (DM)]: You crowding up, trying to hide for an ambush? 02:02:11.181 --> 02:02:15.951 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Is there enough room in the tower to hide in, or is it? 02:02:17.365 --> 02:02:21.770 [Riv (DM)]: The wall itself, like the walkway on the wall itself doesn't narrow. 02:02:21.790 --> 02:02:23.932 [Riv (DM)]: It's just a straight gap straight through. 02:02:23.972 --> 02:02:26.395 [Riv (DM)]: So you probably wouldn't be able to hide up on the wall. 02:02:26.435 --> 02:02:29.939 [Riv (DM)]: You might have to try and break into the door itself if you wanted to get anywhere. 02:02:31.500 --> 02:02:33.663 [Riv (DM)]: There are stairs that actually go down. 02:02:33.703 --> 02:02:36.226 [Riv (DM)]: They are to the side of the building. 02:02:36.406 --> 02:02:39.809 [Riv (DM)]: They aren't, they don't, yeah, to the side of the building. 02:02:39.830 --> 02:02:42.893 [Riv (DM)]: So actually in theory, you could go down the stairs themselves. 02:02:43.834 --> 02:02:44.875 [Riv (DM)]: There's a set of stone. 02:02:48.230 --> 02:02:51.135 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Sorry, I'm terrible at deer and mine stuff sometimes. 02:02:52.417 --> 02:03:00.451 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just, we need to break line of sight with him, because yeah, from what you've said, he'll just turn around and look along the wall and see five shadows on top of the wall and go, hey, what's up? 02:03:00.471 --> 02:03:02.034 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:03:04.177 --> 02:03:04.498 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:03:04.678 --> 02:03:05.860 [Riv (DM)]: Let's... 02:03:05.880 --> 02:03:06.782 [Riv (DM)]: I'll make this... 02:03:07.403 --> 02:03:08.665 [Riv (DM)]: I'll make us just come back over here. 02:03:08.685 --> 02:03:10.288 [Riv (DM)]: So see this. 02:03:11.804 --> 02:03:25.760 [Riv (DM)]: So these stairs, these stone stairs go down to the left to the ground level and they are exposed and they don't, they kind of go around behind the building and then the doorway into the building is kind of like here in the middle of it. 02:03:32.968 --> 02:03:33.689 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Arty, anyone else? 02:03:35.130 --> 02:03:39.535 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, so we just need to get across and open the gates for these guys so... Yeah, that's the plan. 02:03:39.555 --> 02:03:41.237 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, we should try and do this quietly. 02:03:41.977 --> 02:03:42.478 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 02:03:46.123 --> 02:03:51.131 [Lacer (Kai)]: Vigil, I think, again on Erendor, the little geeky boy. 02:03:51.952 --> 02:03:54.937 [Riv (DM)]: Guards reach the end of the wall and he's getting ready to turn around. 02:04:00.545 --> 02:04:01.948 [Lacer (Kai)]: So are we getting in cover? 02:04:03.129 --> 02:04:07.156 [Lacer (Kai)]: We need to take, there's only one we should take down quickly. 02:04:07.176 --> 02:04:10.060 [JC (Ryo)]: I pick up my longbow and start shaking it in front of people, yes or no? 02:04:11.693 --> 02:04:12.674 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I pull mine as well. 02:04:13.415 --> 02:04:13.915 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Start clawing. 02:04:13.935 --> 02:04:16.077 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If you're gonna do it, make sure you're killing me in one shot. 02:04:18.419 --> 02:04:19.380 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm breaking line of sight. 02:04:20.281 --> 02:04:23.784 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Either by looking off the stairs or ducking behind the wall a little bit. 02:04:23.804 --> 02:04:25.785 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, me too. 02:04:26.306 --> 02:04:33.872 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you could go down the stairs and sort of like lie down behind the mini, you know, half wall that is on the railing, I guess. 02:04:34.153 --> 02:04:37.336 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, crouch down that way. 02:04:37.816 --> 02:04:38.036 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 02:04:38.957 --> 02:04:40.198 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:04:42.929 --> 02:04:46.914 [Riv (DM)]: Iryndor and Ryo, whereabouts are you guys going with your bows? 02:04:52.222 --> 02:04:55.186 [JC (Ryo)]: Uh... 02:04:55.206 --> 02:04:56.307 [JC (Ryo)]: So he's about there, is he? 02:04:57.769 --> 02:04:59.411 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yep. 02:05:01.314 --> 02:05:05.299 [JC (Ryo)]: I can hit him, no problem. 02:05:05.319 --> 02:05:09.645 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Well, we...

02:12:50.557 --> 02:12:53.961 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, just, well, not throwing because throwing bodies don't crunch. 02:12:54.441 --> 02:12:54.942 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 02:12:54.962 --> 02:12:56.463 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's kind of lowering a bit and letting go. 02:12:56.904 --> 02:12:57.444 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, cool. 02:12:57.464 --> 02:12:58.025 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, no problem. 02:12:58.045 --> 02:12:58.886 [Riv (DM)]: It's easy enough. 02:12:59.727 --> 02:13:01.048 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, sweet. 02:13:01.148 --> 02:13:03.350 [Riv (DM)]: So, whole group, are we moving across the river? 02:13:06.934 --> 02:13:11.259 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think Gatehouse will probably need them. 02:13:11.279 --> 02:13:11.359 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 02:13:11.643 --> 02:13:16.170 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah let's let's all stealth across to the other gatehouse and open all the gates. 02:13:18.854 --> 02:13:23.521 [Riv (DM)]: Okay um great so let's have another stealth check then as we get across the um as we're going across the wall. 02:13:27.347 --> 02:13:29.070 [JC (Ryo)]: Pass without a trace is an hour I believe. 02:13:29.631 --> 02:13:31.774 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:13:31.794 --> 02:13:32.415 [Riv (DM)]: That's so good. 02:13:37.743 --> 02:13:39.726 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah, oh yeah. 02:13:41.528 --> 02:13:48.653 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Come on now dwarf, they can hardly see you over the wall. 02:13:51.113 --> 02:13:59.583 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar just like trips a little bit, nearly falls but Kai's able to reach out a quick hand and stabilize him so he doesn't land in clutter. 02:14:00.904 --> 02:14:01.605 [Riv (DM)]: You make your way across. 02:14:02.726 --> 02:14:03.707 [Riv (DM)]: Alarm still hasn't been rung. 02:14:04.588 --> 02:14:13.358 [Riv (DM)]: Making your way over to this side you can see there's a much more densely packed area of tents and you can see just your hundreds of people destitute. 02:14:13.338 --> 02:14:13.839 [Riv (DM)]: Freezing. 02:14:14.339 --> 02:14:16.242 [Riv (DM)]: You can see some of them at this point. 02:14:16.302 --> 02:14:17.543 [Riv (DM)]: It's very early in the morning. 02:14:17.563 --> 02:14:19.145 [Riv (DM)]: Some of them are awake, some of them are asleep. 02:14:19.466 --> 02:14:23.891 [Riv (DM)]: You can see a few people scraping out scraps from a bowl here and there. 02:14:24.192 --> 02:14:26.214 [Riv (DM)]: And a few of them are poking stuff at a fire. 02:14:28.137 --> 02:14:29.959 [Riv (DM)]: Getting your way to the first guardhouse. 02:14:30.480 --> 02:14:33.283 [Riv (DM)]: Again, the wall continues all the way through. 02:14:33.904 --> 02:14:34.825 [Riv (DM)]: This sort of middle part. 02:14:35.926 --> 02:14:38.029 [Riv (DM)]: There's a set of stairs that go down to your left. 02:14:38.009 --> 02:14:44.020 [Riv (DM)]: And then, carrying on, there's a second guardhouse further beyond this one, past the gate itself. 02:14:45.022 --> 02:14:53.537 [Riv (DM)]: Once you get to the first guardhouse, you can see, similar to the first one, there's a door on your left that seems to go into the building itself, into the building proper. 02:15:03.575 --> 02:15:07.964 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do I see any torch-bearing guards walking around? 02:15:07.984 --> 02:15:15.860 [Lacer (Kai)]: I mean, like, the shadows walking up and down from where we are as we creep closer? 02:15:15.880 --> 02:15:17.864 [Riv (DM)]: So are you looking at the teams or are you just keeping it on the wall? 02:15:18.986 --> 02:15:19.407 [Riv (DM)]: On the wall. 02:15:20.449 --> 02:15:24.317 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so it was just the one guy on the wall, but why don't you roll a perception check? 02:15:33.173 --> 02:15:33.814 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 02:15:33.834 --> 02:15:34.034 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:15:34.174 --> 02:15:39.462 [Riv (DM)]: So being here now at the Guard Tower, you can hear beyond the door itself. 02:15:39.602 --> 02:15:43.468 [Riv (DM)]: You can hear voices assuming that there are some some number of people inside. 02:15:43.488 --> 02:15:47.093 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't it doesn't feel like or doesn't sound like dozens, maybe a handful. 02:15:50.538 --> 02:15:50.838 [Lacer (Kai)]: All right. 02:15:55.024 --> 02:15:55.244 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well. 02:15:58.589 --> 02:16:01.493 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Is it just one door? 02:16:02.789 --> 02:16:04.331 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, just one door inside. 02:16:04.651 --> 02:16:07.916 [Riv (DM)]: Usermise is probably the same for the other guardhouse on the other side as well. 02:16:08.957 --> 02:16:12.421 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does this door have bars that we can see through or is it a solid door? 02:16:12.962 --> 02:16:13.663 [Lacer (Kai)]: Solid wood door. 02:16:15.585 --> 02:16:26.980 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to press my ear up against the door carefully not to open the door and see how many voices I can distinguish in like 20 seconds. 02:16:27.060 --> 02:16:27.160 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:16:29.570 --> 02:16:31.514 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You're not gonna see many voices. 02:16:32.276 --> 02:16:33.137 [Lacer (Kai)]: I mean hear. 02:16:33.278 --> 02:16:36.504 [Lacer (Kai)]: I mean hear how many voices I... 02:16:36.524 --> 02:16:38.949 [Riv (DM)]: This would be either perception or investigation, I suppose. 02:16:38.990 --> 02:16:40.733 [Riv (DM)]: What would you like to do? 02:16:41.234 --> 02:16:43.479 [Riv (DM)]: Perception, because I'm perceiving through my ears. 02:16:44.020 --> 02:16:44.541 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, makes sense. 02:16:53.633 --> 02:16:55.355 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Um... 02:16:55.375 --> 02:16:56.637 [Riv (DM)]: There's... Yeah, probably... 02:16:57.678 --> 02:17:01.403 [Riv (DM)]: Difficult to tell exact numbers, but you make out maybe... Half a dozen? 02:17:01.683 --> 02:17:04.026 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe... Somewhere around there? 02:17:07.170 --> 02:17:07.610 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 02:17:07.630 --> 02:17:11.756 [Lacer (Kai)]: I motion to the team to regard at least six or more. 02:17:13.838 --> 02:17:15.781 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We've got silence in the party, don't we?

02:17:47.945 --> 02:17:49.307 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, why don't you roll a position check? 02:17:59.024 --> 02:18:08.840 [Riv (DM)]: There's nothing externally that could release the counterweights to open the gate itself. 02:18:09.622 --> 02:18:13.328 [Riv (DM)]: You kind of, I guess, based on that, it's probably something inside. 02:18:13.388 --> 02:18:24.627 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hard and fast. 02:18:26.108 --> 02:18:27.570 [Lacer (Kai)]: I do have hold person. 02:18:28.431 --> 02:18:29.332 [Lacer (Kai)]: I quickly whisper. 02:18:29.472 --> 02:18:29.952 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can take... 02:18:30.473 --> 02:18:31.234 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can hold two. 02:18:36.319 --> 02:18:37.341 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Might be worth holding on to. 02:18:37.381 --> 02:18:39.603 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Maybe use it if it's desperate. 02:18:40.704 --> 02:18:42.747 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 02:18:42.767 --> 02:18:42.867 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay. 02:18:42.887 --> 02:18:44.008 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Speed, surprise and violence. 02:18:44.128 --> 02:18:44.929 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We've got surprise. 02:18:46.411 --> 02:18:47.572 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think it's time to do some violence. 02:18:48.393 --> 02:18:50.435 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Do you want Bless in this battle?

02:21:42.548 --> 02:21:43.148 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is he invisible? 02:21:43.168 --> 02:21:45.031 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think he- They are invisible, right? 02:21:46.433 --> 02:21:48.756 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, how much manipulation power do they have, sir? 02:21:49.477 --> 02:21:52.341 [JC (Ryo)]: Put it in the text without the spell slot. 02:21:52.456 --> 02:21:56.660 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 02:21:56.680 --> 02:21:58.001 [Riv (DM)]: Don't actually know how to do that. 02:21:58.082 --> 02:21:59.463 [Riv (DM)]: Concentration for a minute. 02:21:59.483 --> 02:22:02.126 [Riv (DM)]: Just click the picture itself. 02:22:02.226 --> 02:22:02.646 [Riv (DM)]: I'll do it for you. 02:22:02.666 --> 02:22:03.667 [Riv (DM)]: Strength of 2. 02:22:03.847 --> 02:22:06.490 [JC (Ryo)]: Click the picture and then un-click the cast spell. 02:22:07.090 --> 02:22:08.172 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, I got it for you. 02:22:09.092 --> 02:22:10.574 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Can interact with an object. 02:22:17.661 --> 02:22:19.763 [Riv (DM)]: Move up to 15 feet and interact with an object. 02:22:21.818 --> 02:22:24.341 [Riv (DM)]: Fetching things, cleaning, mending, forming clothes, lighting fires. 02:22:25.883 --> 02:22:30.169 [Riv (DM)]: Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability until it completes the task. 02:22:32.352 --> 02:22:41.504 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If it was like a counterweight to chop, it'd probably... maybe, but generally gates have to be winched up, because otherwise... just cut it in the gate, I think. 02:22:42.866 --> 02:22:44.127 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You mean a portcullis? 02:22:44.848 --> 02:22:45.930 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, as opposed to a gate. 02:22:47.251 --> 02:22:47.792 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's fair. 02:22:51.552 --> 02:22:52.373 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What is this aura?

02:23:21.892 --> 02:23:24.935 [Riv (DM)]: Open the gate. 02:23:25.796 --> 02:23:28.599 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I don't think it would know how to do that. 02:23:29.260 --> 02:23:30.421 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is it a pool? 02:23:30.601 --> 02:23:31.322 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is it a chain? 02:23:31.582 --> 02:23:32.363 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or is it a thing? 02:23:32.724 --> 02:23:33.064 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's a thing. 02:23:33.184 --> 02:23:35.066 [Riv (DM)]: You've never seen it, you don't know what it is. 02:23:36.247 --> 02:23:37.048 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's a gate. 02:23:37.068 --> 02:23:41.893 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's not going to be like modern technology, flick a lever and it electrically opens the gate. 02:23:42.633 --> 02:23:47.798 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just be a big... We're talking old times where, best case, we're looking at big old giant wooden cogs. 02:23:49.980 --> 02:23:50.700 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do we, um... 02:23:52.382 --> 02:23:54.224 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I mean, do we have to go through the gatehouse? 02:23:54.304 --> 02:24:02.171 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Couldn't we just... go... drop down the inside of the wall and... try and open the gate? 02:24:05.254 --> 02:24:12.100 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're assuming that, since there's no visible mechanism on the gate, that the mechanism to open the gate is within the gatehouse. 02:24:13.025 --> 02:24:15.528 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, we can see the other side of the gate. 02:24:15.989 --> 02:24:16.850 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay. 02:24:16.870 --> 02:24:19.113 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm assuming that's the information I gathered from the DM. 02:24:19.133 --> 02:24:19.273 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Mm-hmm. 02:24:21.375 --> 02:24:22.477 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay. 02:24:22.497 --> 02:24:26.482 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, let's go on a killing spree and kill everyone in these two guardhouses. 02:24:28.184 --> 02:24:28.604 [JC (Ryo)]: Stack up. 02:24:29.485 --> 02:24:30.767 [JC (Ryo)]: Ryu just gives you a thumbs up. 02:24:33.070 --> 02:24:33.490 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Stack up. 02:24:34.231 --> 02:24:34.812 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The countdown. 02:24:35.132 --> 02:24:36.334 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Three, two, one. 02:24:37.115 --> 02:24:37.996 [Riv (DM)]: You mean breaking down the door?

02:31:44.745 --> 02:31:48.511 [Riv (DM)]: It's probably always advantage on surprise, isn't it? 02:31:48.531 --> 02:31:49.412 [Riv (DM)]: That's right, isn't it, Vael? 02:31:50.692 --> 02:31:53.557 [Riv (DM)]: Cause if it's a prize, then you have to be unseen by definition. 02:31:54.558 --> 02:31:55.880 [Riv (DM)]: And unseen is advantage, so... 02:31:57.703 --> 02:31:59.606 [Riv (DM)]: I'm just thinking if I can give you sneak attack on it. 02:32:03.492 --> 02:32:04.354 [Riv (DM)]: I think we'll go with it. 02:32:04.374 --> 02:32:05.175 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, we'll go with it. 02:32:05.215 --> 02:32:10.844 [Riv (DM)]: So feel free to do sneak attack with this attack, with the hit. 02:32:10.864 --> 02:32:13.248 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: While I look at the surprise...

Oh, actually... 02:32:29.818 --> 02:32:33.366 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't look like it would, so... 02:32:34.909 --> 02:32:37.354 [Riv (DM)]: If neither side tries to be self-heal-making, notice each other... 02:32:42.464 --> 02:32:52.657 [Riv (DM)]: Yes, I think because you didn't come in stealthily, you came in loud, you're getting the free round, but it wouldn't be at advantage because they would have looked up and seen you come in. 02:32:54.162 --> 02:32:55.326 [Riv (DM)]: So just straight, straight damage. 02:33:01.887 --> 02:33:06.533 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Surprise round is not really a ruling, I think. 02:33:07.214 --> 02:33:08.095 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's kind of something that's done. 02:33:08.155 --> 02:33:09.917 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty, cool. 02:33:09.937 --> 02:33:11.879 [Riv (DM)]: 4 damage as it gets hit by an arrow. 02:33:13.802 --> 02:33:13.962 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 02:33:14.663 --> 02:33:16.164 [Riv (DM)]: Vael, then you are next. 02:33:17.546 --> 02:33:19.609 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I want my extra 3d6. 02:33:21.951 --> 02:33:23.654 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll run up and take a swing. 02:33:24.134 --> 02:33:25.796 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Go for it. 02:33:25.816 --> 02:33:26.477 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just one sword. 02:33:32.482 --> 02:33:40.537 [Riv (DM)]: This guy... His armor is fucked. 02:33:42.020 --> 02:33:43.743 [Riv (DM)]: This hits actually, because he doesn't have his shield equipped. 02:33:44.244 --> 02:33:46.047 [Riv (DM)]: So that hits. 02:33:50.435 --> 02:33:51.537 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 02:33:53.778 --> 02:33:54.239 [Riv (DM)]: Still alive? 02:33:54.639 --> 02:33:56.642 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, this guy looks slightly beefier than the others. 02:33:58.324 --> 02:34:10.340 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright, I'll whack him in the face with my shield and I will forgo my second attack, do a commander's strike and get Erendor to shoot him. 02:34:11.282 --> 02:34:11.522 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 02:34:11.802 --> 02:34:12.283 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:34:12.323 --> 02:34:15.467 [Riv (DM)]: So Erendor, feel free to shoot again this time with a sneak attack. 02:34:16.609 --> 02:34:21.175 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And also a D6 because I'll use the low dice for this one. 02:34:21.896 --> 02:34:21.996 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:34:29.553 --> 02:34:29.974 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 02:34:30.034 --> 02:34:30.514 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, it hurts. 02:34:32.136 --> 02:34:33.378 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 02:34:35.721 --> 02:34:36.261 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: That tap. 02:34:37.503 --> 02:34:39.545 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: That tap doesn't look like it's the one that should have sneaked. 02:34:39.566 --> 02:34:43.410 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It would be on the peaches, yeah. 02:34:43.430 --> 02:34:44.992 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 02:34:46.094 --> 02:34:48.156 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Should I throw an extra D6 and then an extra D6? 02:34:48.877 --> 02:34:51.921 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yes, I'll do damage from that one first. 02:34:55.606 --> 02:34:57.568 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Cool, there's a bow. 02:34:58.527 --> 02:34:59.428 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I love rogue dice. 02:34:59.448 --> 02:35:00.829 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And then there was an extra d6? 02:35:01.309 --> 02:35:04.312 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, extra d6 because I'm using the martial edit instead of the superiority. 02:35:06.734 --> 02:35:08.015 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, pretty good. 02:35:08.075 --> 02:35:10.357 [Riv (DM)]: So 13... 17 total. 02:35:14.621 --> 02:35:18.525 [Riv (DM)]: Dude takes another arrow, this time on the other side of his chest. 02:35:19.005 --> 02:35:25.251 [Riv (DM)]: And he's kind of gasping for air, blood spilling from his mouth, but he's still somehow standing, or sitting in this case. 02:35:27.192 --> 02:35:27.893 [Riv (DM)]: Kai? 02:35:28.160 --> 02:35:29.502 [Lacer (Kai)]: How bloody is he? 02:35:29.802 --> 02:35:31.164 [Riv (DM)]: He looks on death's door. 02:35:32.365 --> 02:35:36.150 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, let's hold the bell, shall we? 02:35:38.193 --> 02:35:41.337 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Better go and open it for him. 02:35:41.357 --> 02:35:44.340 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, he'll have to do a DC 15 wisdom saving throw. 02:35:45.602 --> 02:35:45.922 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:35:47.765 --> 02:35:48.566 [Riv (DM)]: I'll do that for you. 02:35:53.212 --> 02:35:54.353 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, he fails. 02:35:55.632 --> 02:35:57.655 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so feel free to roll your versatile damage. 02:35:58.516 --> 02:35:59.317 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, it's versatile? 02:35:59.658 --> 02:36:02.822 [Lacer (Kai)]: I did just damage. 02:36:02.862 --> 02:36:03.183 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, my bad. 02:36:03.223 --> 02:36:05.846 [Riv (DM)]: Oh dude, you're level 5 now, so it's 2d12, let's go. 02:36:08.190 --> 02:36:10.072 [Riv (DM)]: Provided I fail, otherwise I do nothing. 02:36:10.873 --> 02:36:13.457 [Lacer (Kai)]: Should I click versatile instead? 02:36:13.497 --> 02:36:14.559 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just did damage. 02:36:14.579 --> 02:36:15.960 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, just re-roll it, it's all good. 02:36:16.381 --> 02:36:16.762 [Riv (DM)]: D12. 02:36:20.186 --> 02:36:20.627 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:36:22.042 --> 02:36:38.464 [Riv (DM)]: So a bell rings out in the room as this guy he kind of puts his hands up to his ears and kind of just like yells out in pain and then falls over to the table slumps forward and blood starts pooling around his head. 02:36:41.161 --> 02:36:46.769 [Riv (DM)]: The room is now empty, apart from the corpses that you just mangled. 02:36:47.510 --> 02:36:50.775 [Riv (DM)]: You get the feeling you might have made a bit of sound just then. 02:36:52.077 --> 02:36:52.838 [Riv (DM)]: What are we doing, guys? 02:36:55.141 --> 02:36:56.643 [Lacer (Kai)]: Rush, rush the other guard house. 02:36:57.785 --> 02:36:58.446 [Lacer (Kai)]: Look around. 02:36:58.466 --> 02:37:00.729 [Riv (DM)]: There a mechanism for opening a gate? 02:37:01.230 --> 02:37:01.911 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, cool. 02:37:01.971 --> 02:37:07.679 [Riv (DM)]: So down here at the bottom now you can see there is a opening, sort of a window that looks out into the gate itself. 02:37:08.220 --> 02:37:09.902 [Riv (DM)]: There is a winch here and a lever. 02:37:13.510 --> 02:37:14.912 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I will start winching. 02:37:15.372 --> 02:37:15.893 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:37:15.913 --> 02:37:16.955 [Riv (DM)]: It's pretty easy to use. 02:37:17.375 --> 02:37:21.060 [Riv (DM)]: There must be some counterweights inside the wall structure itself to sort of offset it. 02:37:21.821 --> 02:37:26.007 [Riv (DM)]: So you can kind of winch it up and then clearly once it's up there, you can lock it in place. 02:37:26.327 --> 02:37:32.255 [Riv (DM)]: The idea being that you can pull the lever to quickly close it if there was ever, you know, need to lock people inside that might be trying to flee. 02:37:32.896 --> 02:37:35.079 [Riv (DM)]: But you can winch it up. 02:37:35.119 --> 02:37:36.020 [Riv (DM)]: It's going to take a bit of time. 02:37:36.921 --> 02:37:42.589 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll start winching and I'll probably tell other people to move up and make sure we don't get rushed while I'm doing it. 02:37:45.421 --> 02:37:46.122 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:37:46.142 --> 02:37:49.888 [Riv (DM)]: The rest of you guys, what are you doing? 02:37:49.908 --> 02:37:50.289 [Riv (DM)]: Covering him. 02:37:51.951 --> 02:37:55.216 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does it help if I help Val to make the venture go faster? 02:37:57.079 --> 02:37:58.822 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, two people would probably make it go slightly faster. 02:37:59.342 --> 02:38:00.444 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I help Val. 02:38:01.746 --> 02:38:01.886 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 02:38:03.489 --> 02:38:05.412 [Riv (DM)]: Can I cast Detect Magic while I'm here? 02:38:06.834 --> 02:38:07.295 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you can. 02:38:07.796 --> 02:38:11.361 [Riv (DM)]: If you use a spell slot, it'll be instant, otherwise it'll be ten minutes to ritually cast it. 02:38:12.708 --> 02:38:15.052 [Riv (DM)]: How long is it going to take to winch? 02:38:15.072 --> 02:38:15.913 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, not very long. 02:38:15.933 --> 02:38:17.615 [Riv (DM)]: Like 15-20 seconds sort of thing. 02:38:17.856 --> 02:38:18.697 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe half a minute. 02:38:19.278 --> 02:38:19.438 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:38:19.899 --> 02:38:20.420 [Riv (DM)]: Spell slot. 02:38:21.541 --> 02:38:21.802 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:38:24.907 --> 02:38:26.669 [Riv (DM)]: Nothing in this room appears to be magical. 02:38:28.031 --> 02:38:30.755 [Riv (DM)]: But feel free to put concentration on yourself for that. 02:38:33.800 --> 02:38:37.686 [Lacer (Kai)]: I wisp out to Erendor, Enryo, check the bodies for anything. 02:38:41.395 --> 02:38:48.387 [Riv (DM)]: As this is happening, you hear footsteps coming across the wall. 02:38:48.688 --> 02:38:49.910 [Riv (DM)]: And you hear, what's going on? 02:38:50.130 --> 02:38:51.072 [Riv (DM)]: Why are you opening the gate? 02:38:58.305 --> 02:38:59.146 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Should we call back? 02:38:59.607 --> 02:39:00.509 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Hold the door? 02:39:01.270 --> 02:39:04.095 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We gotta hold this until the forces come through. 02:39:05.763 --> 02:39:13.501 [Riv (DM)]: You see a few people now starting to come through the top, recognizing the door is being split in, burst in. 02:39:16.909 --> 02:39:17.190 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:39:18.385 --> 02:39:23.331 [Riv (DM)]: They look down and see a group of people that do not belong here and they start charging. 02:39:24.212 --> 02:39:26.214 [Riv (DM)]: Three people start coming down the stairs towards you. 02:39:26.915 --> 02:39:30.299 [Riv (DM)]: One person's at the top and you can see him running back towards the guardhouse. 02:39:31.120 --> 02:39:35.766 [Riv (DM)]: You know, from your view looking up at the door you see him heading back towards, across the wall towards the other direction. 02:39:36.627 --> 02:39:37.327 [Riv (DM)]: What's everyone doing?

02:56:52.808 --> 02:56:55.351 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Or would Rio be blocking my way? 02:56:55.371 --> 02:56:58.054 [Riv (DM)]: There's gonna be half cover. 02:57:00.076 --> 02:57:01.397 [Riv (DM)]: So we have a plus two to his AC. 02:57:05.242 --> 02:57:08.726 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, I am still going to take a shot at him. 02:57:09.046 --> 02:57:09.326 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 02:57:18.656 --> 02:57:20.398 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And roll modifiers. 02:57:25.184 --> 02:57:27.566 [Riv (DM)]: Don't think you have any, right? 02:57:27.586 --> 02:57:27.766 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:57:28.047 --> 02:57:29.188 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, did you not bless anyone? 02:57:30.147 --> 02:57:30.447 [Lacer (Kai)]: No. 02:57:30.968 --> 02:57:31.448 [Lacer (Kai)]: No bless. 02:57:31.628 --> 02:57:32.089 [Lacer (Kai)]: No bless. 02:57:32.970 --> 02:57:33.330 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, cool. 02:57:33.931 --> 02:57:34.071 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:57:34.251 --> 02:57:35.172 [Riv (DM)]: Arrow's not quite good enough. 02:57:35.912 --> 02:57:39.175 [Riv (DM)]: Just like, tangs into the wall above the guy's head. 02:57:39.816 --> 02:57:41.838 [Riv (DM)]: This way he kind of looks over and like, what's going on? 02:57:41.858 --> 02:57:42.939 [Riv (DM)]: He sees there's two guys behind him. 02:57:43.319 --> 02:57:43.640 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 02:57:44.140 --> 02:57:46.442 [Riv (DM)]: Action, bonus action. 02:57:46.562 --> 02:57:47.343 [Riv (DM)]: That's your turn, I think. 02:57:48.804 --> 02:57:50.186 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, and then it is the guard's turn. 02:57:50.606 --> 02:57:53.909 [Riv (DM)]: He is carrying on to try and book it on down the stairs. 02:57:54.510 --> 02:57:57.032 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh, he keeps going for a dead man's switch. 02:57:58.717 --> 02:58:01.740 [Riv (DM)]: Rio, feel free to take an opportunity attack if you want. 02:58:05.524 --> 02:58:06.185 [Riv (DM)]: Or anything else? 02:58:06.225 --> 02:58:07.306 [Riv (DM)]: Any other reaction you might have? 02:58:07.847 --> 02:58:15.295 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, no, I was just going to... Like I said, I don't like this new D&D page. 02:58:16.516 --> 02:58:25.686 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If you're looking to sort by ability type, there's a little filter thing into features. 02:58:27.320 --> 02:58:32.866 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: But next to search there's X and there's a little filter and then you can go into sword by action type. 02:58:32.886 --> 02:58:33.948 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, thank you. 02:58:33.968 --> 02:58:34.408 [JC (Ryo)]: I have none. 02:58:36.130 --> 02:58:41.536 [JC (Ryo)]: Um, I'm guessing I can't, I won't be able to switch to my sword and slash with the sword. 02:58:43.598 --> 02:58:48.044 [Riv (DM)]: As, um, as a reaction, could you drop your bow and pull the sword out and slash him? 02:58:49.765 --> 02:58:52.028 [JC (Ryo)]: I've got the bow on the, um, 02:58:53.493 --> 02:58:56.296 [JC (Ryo)]: On the sling, so I don't technically drop drop it. 02:58:56.797 --> 02:58:57.057 [Riv (DM)]: True. 02:58:58.618 --> 02:59:00.340 [JC (Ryo)]: So I'm asking, what can I do? 02:59:00.681 --> 02:59:01.181 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:59:04.625 --> 02:59:05.806 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just jump and tackle him. 02:59:06.247 --> 02:59:07.188 [Lacer (Kai)]: Aren't you on the railing? 02:59:07.348 --> 02:59:08.269 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just jump and tackle him. 02:59:08.789 --> 02:59:12.954 [JC (Ryo)]: I can't grapple him as a reaction, can I? 02:59:13.114 --> 02:59:13.755 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't think I can. 02:59:13.895 --> 02:59:16.918 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No, it's opportunity attack. 02:59:17.962 --> 02:59:21.066 [Riv (DM)]: I'm just wondering if you can draw your weapon as part of an opportunity attack. 02:59:21.307 --> 02:59:23.450 [Riv (DM)]: I feel like I don't see why not. 02:59:26.254 --> 02:59:29.017 [Riv (DM)]: As part of opportunity attack. 02:59:30.860 --> 02:59:32.582 [Riv (DM)]: Because it's going to be kind of key potentially. 02:59:39.933 --> 02:59:42.717 [Riv (DM)]: Opportunity attack is someone else's turn so you can't draw your weapon. 02:59:42.737 --> 02:59:46.242 [Riv (DM)]: If you don't have a weapon in hand then you can't use it to make an opportunity attack. 02:59:47.003 --> 02:59:47.243 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:59:48.607 --> 02:59:49.728 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think you're going to be able to, dude. 02:59:50.209 --> 02:59:51.350 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just go for a headshot. 02:59:51.430 --> 02:59:52.951 [JC (Ryo)]: Just headshot him. 02:59:52.971 --> 02:59:56.415 [JC (Ryo)]: As part of my reaction, can I wait for him to get five foot away before I shoot him with the bow? 02:59:57.316 --> 03:00:01.981 [Riv (DM)]: You can't shoot bows with opportunity attacks, but you can punch. 03:00:02.001 --> 03:00:03.262 [Riv (DM)]: You can shoot him at disadvantage. 03:00:03.963 --> 03:00:11.610 [Lacer (Kai)]: It wouldn't be because he's running away, because it's a different type of combat, right? 03:00:12.211 --> 03:00:15.154 [Lacer (Kai)]: You're shooting him in the back, literally. 03:00:17.446 --> 03:00:18.427 [Lacer (Kai)]: I mean, you can still shoot him. 03:00:18.467 --> 03:00:24.353 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, my options here is to stab him with a dagger, sword, use the bow, or use an unarmed strike. 03:00:24.373 --> 03:00:25.234 [JC (Ryo)]: That's my three options. 03:00:25.314 --> 03:00:26.396 [JC (Ryo)]: Whatever Riv says I can do. 03:00:27.577 --> 03:00:29.659 [Riv (DM)]: It needs to be a melee attack for an opportunity attack. 03:00:31.301 --> 03:00:32.162 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh. 03:00:32.202 --> 03:00:33.123 [Lacer (Kai)]: Then he only can punch. 03:00:33.143 --> 03:00:35.365 [Lacer (Kai)]: He only can punch him in the face. 03:00:35.385 --> 03:00:35.966 [JC (Ryo)]: All right. 03:00:35.986 --> 03:00:41.312 [JC (Ryo)]: Can I improvise weapon unarmed striking with the bow as flavor? 03:00:42.132 --> 03:00:42.393 [JC (Ryo)]: Sure. 03:00:42.793 --> 03:00:43.454 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, why not? 03:00:44.915 --> 03:00:46.858 [JC (Ryo)]: So just use the unarmed strike button, I'm guessing? 03:00:47.238 --> 03:00:47.318 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 03:00:53.305 --> 03:00:54.147 [Riv (DM)]: Nice, that hits. 03:00:56.652 --> 03:01:00.321 [JC (Ryo)]: Do I get a different damage roll because it's an improvised weapon or just use the unarmed strike? 03:01:03.307 --> 03:01:08.158 [Riv (DM)]: You usually take the damage of the most closely related weapon, so like a club. 03:01:08.178 --> 03:01:12.327 [Riv (DM)]: I thought improvised weapons were just a straight d4. 03:01:12.948 --> 03:01:14.750 [Riv (DM)]: Nah, it depends on what it is. 03:01:14.770 --> 03:01:19.176 [Riv (DM)]: So if you pick up like a chair leg or something like that, that you've broken off in a barb roll, you can use it like a club. 03:01:19.997 --> 03:01:21.599 [Riv (DM)]: So it would have the damage of a club. 03:01:21.939 --> 03:01:25.604 [Riv (DM)]: I'm just wondering whether or not I can allow you to use your bow as a club. 03:01:28.287 --> 03:01:28.868 [Riv (DM)]: Let's put it this way. 03:01:29.629 --> 03:01:35.976 [Riv (DM)]: If you really want to unleash with it, I'll let you do club damage, but we'll make a roll on whether or not your bow sustains any damage. 03:01:35.996 --> 03:01:38.179 [Riv (DM)]: Otherwise you can just do normal un-strike damage. 03:01:41.365 --> 03:01:44.850 [Riv (DM)]: Exactly what I knew it was going to be. 03:01:44.870 --> 03:01:45.631 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm not breaking my bow. 03:01:46.713 --> 03:01:48.656 [Riv (DM)]: Fair enough. 03:01:48.676 --> 03:01:48.936 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 03:01:52.241 --> 03:01:54.825 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, well, I hit him. 03:01:54.885 --> 03:01:55.245 [Riv (DM)]: You hit him. 03:01:55.266 --> 03:01:56.487 [Riv (DM)]: You give him a good pat on the back. 03:01:58.210 --> 03:02:03.458 [Riv (DM)]: And, yeah, he continues to run on down the stairs. 03:02:03.518 --> 03:02:06.843 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does Erendor get an opportunity attack as well, or nah? 03:02:07.744 --> 03:02:10.528 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, what did you do, Erendor, on your turn? 03:02:13.090 --> 03:02:17.256 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Um, well, I mean... You tried to shoot it in with your bow, eh? 03:02:17.676 --> 03:02:17.937 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:02:18.237 --> 03:02:18.417 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:02:19.639 --> 03:02:20.861 [Riv (DM)]: You could've... 03:02:22.683 --> 03:02:23.604 [Riv (DM)]: It'd be hard, I think. 03:02:23.805 --> 03:02:30.554 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think you could be close enough to do a melee attack unless you really, really squeezed in and you probably wouldn't have had enough movement for that. 03:02:32.076 --> 03:02:36.382 [Riv (DM)]: Um...

03:11:43.262 --> 03:11:47.751 [Riv (DM)]: I was thinking just anything, what could I do to give you a bit... 03:11:47.871 --> 03:11:48.873 [Riv (DM)]: The dice rolled what they did. 03:11:49.154 --> 03:11:52.320 [Riv (DM)]: If that guy hadn't rolled such high initiative, you would have cleaned them out probably. 03:11:52.360 --> 03:12:00.816 [JC (Ryo)]: That's why I tried to get in front of him, I'm like, if I can block his path and then I can use my next action to swap, and I'll just eat the head. 03:12:01.673 --> 03:12:02.374 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, exactly. 03:12:02.514 --> 03:12:06.761 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, if you blocked his path, he would have had to spend a heap of movement to try and get past you and he probably wouldn't have made it. 03:12:06.781 --> 03:12:08.244 [Riv (DM)]: So, hey, I mean, it was worth a try. 03:12:08.404 --> 03:12:10.087 [Riv (DM)]: It was a really good shot. 03:12:10.127 --> 03:12:11.369 [Riv (DM)]: The dice just sometimes screw us. 03:12:12.090 --> 03:12:12.591 [Riv (DM)]: It is what it is. 03:12:13.172 --> 03:12:14.474 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's D&D. 03:12:14.854 --> 03:12:20.143 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I thought he was going for like another gate switch that would have just instantly dumped it in the other tower. 03:12:20.163 --> 03:12:24.510 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And I was like, that probably would have been better because at least we could have worked around that. 03:12:25.311 --> 03:12:25.892 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The alarm. 03:12:26.547 --> 03:12:31.294 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And especially ringing in the distance, that's the camps up at each end of the bridge off-map. 03:12:31.714 --> 03:12:32.415 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think you're active. 03:12:33.657 --> 03:12:35.279 [JC (Ryo)]: Well, everyone's active now, so... 03:12:35.299 --> 03:12:39.225 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So, this is, uh... We don't have a lot of spec-ups to turn into a battle. 03:12:41.068 --> 03:12:45.634 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, there is no stealthy end of the... end of the bridge now to try and set explosives. 03:12:45.714 --> 03:12:47.657 [JC (Ryo)]: This is just gonna be a sweep and clear, pretty much. 03:12:47.677 --> 03:12:50.301 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh, it'll be... run as fast as we can, I think. 03:12:53.345 --> 03:12:55.508 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, maybe Riv has something else. 03:12:57.142 --> 03:13:04.509 [Riv (DM)]: As the Ori and the Will of the Wisps soundtrack starts playing, I think that's good. 03:13:04.810 --> 03:13:06.371 [Riv (DM)]: We'll call it there, eh? 03:13:07.272 --> 03:13:07.653 [Riv (DM)]: Amazing. 03:13:07.673 --> 03:13:08.373 [Riv (DM)]: We'll let you go, Kiwi. 03:13:08.473 --> 03:13:10.415 [Riv (DM)]: I hope you have a fun time drinking with Raven tonight. 03:13:10.435 --> 03:13:11.076 [Riv (DM)]: Don't drink too much. 03:13:11.356 --> 03:13:12.037 [Riv (DM)]: It's not good for you. 03:13:12.958 --> 03:13:14.439 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm already like full of it. 03:13:15.440 --> 03:13:17.342 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Disregarding, there's no such thing. 03:13:17.783 --> 03:13:18.764 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Your liver regrows. 03:13:19.705 --> 03:13:20.285 [Riv (DM)]: Incredible. 03:13:20.786 --> 03:13:21.186 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 03:13:21.386 --> 03:13:22.187 [Riv (DM)]: I'll switch off.
