10:25.433 --> 10:32.323 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Don't want to tempt me with unlimited chicken robots. 10:33.856 --> 10:37.082 [Riv (DM)]: Most of the time I just don't even know what you're on about, eh? 10:40.167 --> 10:41.089 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Deathmouse started it. 10:42.512 --> 10:43.173 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's a great game. 10:44.395 --> 10:45.918 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It is a great game. 10:45.938 --> 10:46.319 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 10:47.882 --> 10:50.346 [Riv (DM)]: Well, a quick recap. 10:52.823 --> 10:55.106 [Riv (DM)]: I guess before we got to the mine, there was a few things that happened. 10:56.588 --> 11:14.612 [Riv (DM)]: Within the city, Deathmouse, or I should say Erendor, was taken to see his father who had fallen ill, spent a bit of time with the ravens, chatting with a few people, making a few moves as well, trying to learn some information, and ultimately stayed with his father until he was able to wake up. 11:14.592 --> 11:19.360 [Riv (DM)]: The rest of you had travelled onwards to go to the Ruby Falls gold mine. 11:20.722 --> 11:28.474 [Riv (DM)]: You waited on the road for Erendor to catch up and while waiting you encountered a group of merchants that were being harassed by some soldiers. 11:30.297 --> 11:34.744 [Riv (DM)]: You kind of talked to the soldiers down, got them to go away and in doing so 11:34.724 --> 11:39.877 [Riv (DM)]: One of the soldiers revealed himself to have known, or seemingly to have known, who Val Aran was. 11:41.240 --> 11:42.202 [Riv (DM)]: Had a bit of a conversation there. 11:43.024 --> 11:52.868 [Riv (DM)]: And then eventually Erendor caught up and you went onwards up the hill to the gold mine, which is at the top of a mountain. 11:52.848 --> 11:57.896 [Riv (DM)]: There were many sort of living buildings that were all completely abandoned. 11:58.437 --> 12:00.200 [Riv (DM)]: Some with signs of struggle, some with not. 12:01.142 --> 12:03.145 [Riv (DM)]: The main buildings themselves also equally empty. 12:04.086 --> 12:09.355 [Riv (DM)]: And exploring the gold mine itself, also empty. 12:10.853 --> 12:15.138 [Riv (DM)]: With not really many signs of what had happened, people appeared to have just vanished. 12:17.201 --> 12:32.840 [Riv (DM)]: Eventually, after exploring for a while, you found in one of the deeper, I guess, dugout caves, there was a wall which looked like it had been freshly broken through, and on the other side was a whole different style of cavern. 12:32.860 --> 12:40.810 [Riv (DM)]: There were different types of rock, it was darker, older looking, it was cold in here, and there were bioluminescent mushrooms that were glowing 12:40.790 --> 12:47.323 [Riv (DM)]: There were some grey stalagmites and stalactites hanging. 12:48.755 --> 12:56.489 [Riv (DM)]: One of them someone looked at a bit more closely and realized that it was actually an egg sack that had wrapped up someone. 12:56.990 --> 12:58.993 [Riv (DM)]: Well I shouldn't say an egg sack, it was a web sack. 12:59.695 --> 13:05.425 [Riv (DM)]: And digging through the inside of it you found there was a person, long dead and completely encased. 13:06.347 --> 13:12.197 [Riv (DM)]: It was about this time that I believe Rio shot a flaming arrow down the tunnel. 13:13.595 --> 13:16.659 [Riv (DM)]: To see if I could see further on down or something like that. 13:18.080 --> 13:33.559 [Riv (DM)]: The arrow collided with some webs, the web caught fire and caused a bit of a vibration throughout and we left the session with the sounds of many skittering feet heading in your direction down the tunnel and that is where we're going to pick up. 13:35.441 --> 13:37.003 [Riv (DM)]: And so what I will do is 13:39.413 --> 13:41.636 [Riv (DM)]: Put on some exciting music and pass it to you guys. 13:41.937 --> 13:48.826 [Riv (DM)]: What do you do in this first instance when you're sitting there waiting in the tunnel, the sounds of many feet skittering in your direction? 13:50.389 --> 13:54.995 [Lacer (Kai)]: I am vigilant blessing myself. 13:55.015 --> 13:55.296 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 13:56.497 --> 13:57.299 [Riv (DM)]: Fireball the tunnel. 13:59.301 --> 13:59.522 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 14:00.283 --> 14:02.266 [Riv (DM)]: So that's the first thing you're gonna do, you're gonna chuck a fireball? 14:04.329 --> 14:05.370 [Riv (DM)]: That would seem prudent. 14:07.747 --> 14:08.848 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Here we go, people. 14:11.731 --> 14:12.272 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You tell me, dude. 14:16.277 --> 14:19.921 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Unless anyone else has any bright ideas, that doesn't sound very welcoming. 14:21.723 --> 14:27.109 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are we in, we're in a tunnel right now, to the web encased people. 14:27.449 --> 14:29.091 [Lacer (Kai)]: How wide is it, exactly? 14:29.551 --> 14:31.954 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, tunnel's about 15 feet wide, quite tall. 14:34.237 --> 14:34.497 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 14:36.670 --> 14:42.615 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to empty some water with my decanter onto the floor. 14:42.635 --> 14:42.715 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 14:42.735 --> 14:43.016 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 14:43.176 --> 14:44.357 [Riv (DM)]: Water splashes along the floor. 14:45.518 --> 14:47.760 [Lacer (Kai)]: With the guy's thing, it just splashed a ton of water. 14:48.421 --> 14:49.702 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 14:50.002 --> 14:53.826 [Lacer (Kai)]: In a line like 15 feet across, but the floor is wet. 14:54.626 --> 14:56.268 [Riv (DM)]: The sound of scattering feet getting louder. 14:56.288 --> 15:02.513 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright. 15:02.754 --> 15:04.315 [JC (Ryo)]: Does my guy know what... 15:04.767 --> 15:08.293 [JC (Ryo)]: When Dondar's preparing to cast Fireball, does he go through the same motions every time? 15:10.317 --> 15:11.579 [Riv (DM)]: I guess it's up to Dondar. 15:12.060 --> 15:14.063 [Riv (DM)]: What does he do to cast Fireball? 15:16.207 --> 15:17.509 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's a good question. 15:19.573 --> 15:28.108 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Probably raises his axe and focuses on his forehead medallion. 15:30.164 --> 15:31.969 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Fireball shoots out of your forehead? 15:33.112 --> 15:33.894 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, pretty much. 15:36.160 --> 15:40.954 [Riv (DM)]: I would say you've probably seen that enough times by now that you'd get the gist of it. 15:41.275 --> 15:44.844 [JC (Ryo)]: I've seen him preparing Fireball, I just stopped backing up. 15:44.864 --> 15:45.085 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 15:45.841 --> 15:52.172 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I use shape water to make a wall of ice to make the cave narrower by five feet? 15:52.653 --> 15:55.198 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just a five-foot... 15:55.218 --> 15:56.680 [Lacer (Kai)]: It'd be five by five cube. 15:57.041 --> 15:58.323 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, it doesn't have to be five by five. 15:58.363 --> 16:00.066 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can it just be like one by five? 16:00.828 --> 16:05.556 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like a spiky ice brick on one side? 16:05.676 --> 16:06.979 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I don't see why not. 16:06.999 --> 16:09.503 [Lacer (Kai)]: Either left or right to make it narrower. 16:09.803 --> 16:11.064 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's like 10 feet wide. 16:11.645 --> 16:12.186 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't see why not. 16:12.226 --> 16:14.408 [Riv (DM)]: It's probably not going to be super solid, right? 16:14.548 --> 16:17.111 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, you could probably do that. 16:17.131 --> 16:17.692 [Riv (DM)]: Try and squeeze. 16:20.495 --> 16:20.995 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 16:21.115 --> 16:22.857 [Lacer (Kai)]: To make a funnel of some sort. 16:23.217 --> 16:26.101 [Riv (DM)]: If there are no other actions, then I think we have to progress to the next step. 16:27.702 --> 16:28.663 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar, are you launching? 16:29.805 --> 16:29.945 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 16:30.505 --> 16:30.926 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 16:30.966 --> 16:33.108 [Lacer (Kai)]: After you launch, Dondar, I'm going to moonbeam. 16:33.128 --> 16:37.633 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, whatever, where the funnel is. 16:38.542 --> 16:39.684 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 16:39.704 --> 16:49.504 [Riv (DM)]: Just as Dondar launches out the fireball, a little bead of light flying from his forehead, you see coming, just barreling around the corner ahead of you, dozens and dozens of spiders. 16:49.805 --> 16:51.768 [Riv (DM)]: Some of them are massive, some of them are smaller. 16:52.149 --> 16:57.360 [Riv (DM)]: You might see some that are like the size of a foot, some of them might be, you know, 10 feet wide sort of thing. 16:58.001 --> 16:58.542 [Riv (DM)]: Just... 16:58.522 --> 17:01.746 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe not teamfleet, that's quite big, but just barreling down towards you. 17:03.428 --> 17:04.369 [Riv (DM)]: Fireball goes off. 17:05.991 --> 17:07.052 [Riv (DM)]: Massive explosion. 17:07.092 --> 17:13.219 [Riv (DM)]: You hear like screeches of the spiders as they start burning up and a whole wave of them just get incinerated immediately. 17:13.239 --> 17:19.827 [Riv (DM)]: There's almost like a second of silence be still here, skittering feet still coming in your direction. 17:21.989 --> 17:24.532 [Lacer (Kai)]: Moonbeam, the moonbeam, the what's it called? 17:24.832 --> 17:25.373 [Lacer (Kai)]: The funnel. 17:25.741 --> 17:26.803 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, Moonbeam comes out. 17:26.823 --> 17:29.046 [Riv (DM)]: Can you drop a Moonbeam for me? 17:29.447 --> 17:30.749 [Riv (DM)]: I just want to know how much damage it does. 17:31.370 --> 17:31.931 [Lacer (Kai)]: I want a T3. 17:34.315 --> 17:36.078 [Lacer (Kai)]: Third level Moonbeam. 17:36.098 --> 17:41.887 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 17:41.907 --> 17:44.030 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can't drop it. 17:44.051 --> 17:47.316 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's five foot, so it's like a radius. 17:47.416 --> 17:48.558 [Lacer (Kai)]: Five foot radius, so it's like 10. 17:49.619 --> 17:51.703 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 17:51.783 --> 17:52.584 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 17:52.604 --> 17:53.065 [Riv (DM)]: And it's 2D10. 17:53.602 --> 17:55.506 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's 3D10 now. 17:55.526 --> 17:58.452 [Riv (DM)]: It's third level. 17:58.472 --> 17:58.572 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 17:58.592 --> 18:00.396 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 18:00.416 --> 18:01.598 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, do you wanna just roll damage for me? 18:08.312 --> 18:08.673 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, jeez. 18:08.993 --> 18:09.094 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 18:09.735 --> 18:10.196 [Riv (DM)]: Good rolls. 18:11.378 --> 18:11.779 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 18:13.885 --> 18:14.306 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 18:14.908 --> 18:16.372 [Riv (DM)]: And that lasts for how long is it? 18:16.452 --> 18:17.054 [Riv (DM)]: One minute? 18:17.555 --> 18:18.317 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ten minutes. 18:18.979 --> 18:20.483 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ten minutes of concentration. 18:20.543 --> 18:21.265 [Riv (DM)]: No way. 18:22.528 --> 18:23.270 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's why I did it. 18:25.597 --> 18:26.118 [Riv (DM)]: Wait, is it really? 18:26.238 --> 18:27.161 [Riv (DM)]: I'm reading one minute. 18:27.181 --> 18:27.642 [Riv (DM)]: Am I crazy? 18:28.837 --> 18:30.640 [Lacer (Kai)]: So there's one minute in chat. 18:30.680 --> 18:31.200 [Lacer (Kai)]: There's one. 18:31.321 --> 18:32.142 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, is it one minute? 18:32.602 --> 18:34.285 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh yeah, sorry, one minute. 18:34.305 --> 18:35.787 [Riv (DM)]: Either way, one minute's a long time. 18:36.628 --> 18:38.831 [Riv (DM)]: The next wave of spiders come barreling around. 18:38.871 --> 18:44.620 [Riv (DM)]: This time they just pass through this beam of moon that has been alit inside the cave. 18:45.481 --> 18:46.963 [Riv (DM)]: The smaller ones 18:46.943 --> 18:51.970 [Riv (DM)]: As soon as they enter the beam just immediately fizzle into dust. 18:52.010 --> 19:00.723 [Riv (DM)]: Some of the bigger ones as they're passing through take a huge amount of damage and like sort of collapse to the ground and get up and start limply still heading in your direction. 19:01.144 --> 19:03.247 [Riv (DM)]: Most of the smaller ones are fizzling out. 19:04.008 --> 19:06.111 [Riv (DM)]: Some are getting through, some are getting evaporated. 19:08.955 --> 19:09.416 [Riv (DM)]: What's next? 19:10.718 --> 19:13.542 [Riv (DM)]: They're about 80 feet down the cave from you. 19:15.209 --> 19:20.318 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably signal groups start falling back towards the entrance. 19:20.338 --> 19:22.001 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Nice and tight. 19:22.021 --> 19:22.502 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hotcakes. 19:25.327 --> 19:26.029 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Fly, you fools! 19:26.790 --> 19:31.979 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I start moving back and I move the moonbeam 60 feet back as we move backwards. 19:31.999 --> 19:33.522 [Riv (DM)]: So it's just gonna sort of like follow you along? 19:33.670 --> 19:34.371 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm gonna kite. 19:34.411 --> 19:35.433 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm gonna kite with my name. 19:35.453 --> 19:35.673 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 19:36.615 --> 19:36.935 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 19:37.496 --> 19:39.839 [Riv (DM)]: So we're gonna go into a chase sequence now. 19:41.903 --> 19:47.551 [Riv (DM)]: There's about 250 feet of distance to get back to the entrance. 19:48.913 --> 19:50.295 [Riv (DM)]: Spiders are 80 feet away from you. 19:51.678 --> 19:55.864 [Riv (DM)]: Every round, if you're dashing, you can move 50 feet. 19:55.844 --> 19:59.508 [Riv (DM)]: Because the party will move at the sloth speed of the sloth member. 20:01.529 --> 20:06.174 [Riv (DM)]: And you can perform actions each round if you want to try and slow things down or speed things up. 20:07.795 --> 20:11.399 [Riv (DM)]: Completely up to you to see what you want to do but the spiders are moving faster than you are. 20:15.383 --> 20:17.505 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What time of day is it? 20:17.525 --> 20:17.845 [Riv (DM)]: Afternoon. 20:18.966 --> 20:19.647 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: But we're underground. 20:20.107 --> 20:20.708 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 20:20.728 --> 20:20.948 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 20:22.129 --> 20:25.092 [Riv (DM)]: So on the first round you can turn and run. 20:29.864 --> 20:32.628 [JC (Ryo)]: Can't just leave the dwarf behind and run up a 70 foot? 20:33.429 --> 20:36.293 [Riv (DM)]: In theory, yes, the faster ones of you could leave the dwarf behind. 20:37.935 --> 20:39.717 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What makes you think the dwarf is the slowest? 20:42.281 --> 20:42.942 [JC (Ryo)]: He's got short legs. 20:45.706 --> 20:51.453 [Riv (DM)]: Well, imagine all of you have got 30 apart from him, right? 20:51.473 --> 20:54.117 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, well, as we turn, I'm going to reach out. 20:54.704 --> 21:02.532 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Grab him on the back of the neck and push him ahead of me and say move and he's gonna get an extra 10 feet of movement for an hour. 21:02.552 --> 21:04.834 [Riv (DM)]: Oh great, okay cool. 21:04.854 --> 21:06.536 [Riv (DM)]: So that will get you going slightly faster then. 21:08.038 --> 21:09.279 [Riv (DM)]: Alright cool, so that's the first round. 21:13.623 --> 21:15.805 [Riv (DM)]: So you can move actually 10 feet faster than normal, so that's good. 21:16.166 --> 21:18.148 [Riv (DM)]: So the spiders are now gonna be 70 feet behind you. 21:18.348 --> 21:22.312 [Riv (DM)]: And Kai, you're just kind of like pulling the moonbeam so it's kind of constantly behind you. 21:22.933 --> 21:23.293 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 21:24.978 --> 21:25.499 [Riv (DM)]: You know what? 21:27.825 --> 21:28.607 [Lacer (Kai)]: That kind of... 21:28.988 --> 21:30.190 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm only going at 30 feet. 21:30.271 --> 21:31.574 [Lacer (Kai)]: I mean, 30 feet per turn. 21:31.975 --> 21:32.496 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 21:33.057 --> 21:40.435 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because it takes an action to move at 60 feet, or up to 60 feet, if I'm not wrong. 21:40.455 --> 21:40.635 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 21:41.317 --> 21:42.720 [Lacer (Kai)]: I only do it for one round, though. 21:42.740 --> 21:43.442 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm only doing it for one round. 21:43.777 --> 21:49.446 [Riv (DM)]: So the first round goes by and the spiders are coming and you essentially move the moonbeam on top of them. 21:49.787 --> 22:01.566 [Riv (DM)]: The few large ones that got through the moonbeam now just also collapse to the ground and start burning away in the radiant light because two rounds inside the moonbeam will be enough to kill them. 22:01.546 --> 22:10.979 [Riv (DM)]: All of the smaller ones, you know, we're talking dozens and dozens of guys, they're just kind of flying themselves down the thing, just evaporating into dust as they pass through the light. 22:11.600 --> 22:25.440 [Riv (DM)]: As you move through the next round, you've kind of broken my chase sequence, because they literally are just going to be dying in this thing that takes a minute. 22:26.081 --> 22:27.503 [Riv (DM)]: So they stop. 22:28.107 --> 22:36.055 [Riv (DM)]: You see a couple of the big ones, there's a couple like blue spiders as well that look a bit more menacing than the others and they all kind of like start gathering up at the edge of the tunnel. 22:36.436 --> 22:57.338 [Riv (DM)]: You've broken now back through into the gold mine itself and they are just like at the entrance into the little broken part into their cave system looking down at you but with your moonbeam there sitting you see them starting to back up and back away as they have realised that if they continue to chase they will all evaporate in your radiant light. 22:58.752 --> 23:03.717 [Riv (DM)]: Do you guys want to continue running or what would you do at this point on the second round? 23:04.838 --> 23:05.539 [Lacer (Kai)]: At this point? 23:06.640 --> 23:08.101 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I see them from where I am? 23:08.441 --> 23:14.127 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you guys are backing up down the tunnel and you can just see them sort of like stopped there at the entrance to the cave system. 23:14.387 --> 23:17.590 [Lacer (Kai)]: I cast Entangle, right on. 23:17.610 --> 23:18.631 [Riv (DM)]: On that sort of entrance area? 23:19.192 --> 23:21.054 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, on where all the spiders are. 23:21.254 --> 23:21.434 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 23:22.075 --> 23:22.475 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 23:23.877 --> 23:25.418 [Riv (DM)]: I'll cross off that spell as well. 23:28.604 --> 23:30.788 [JC (Ryo)]: And there goes your moonbeam. 23:30.809 --> 23:33.694 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, it's in, oh yeah it is, my moonbeam's gone. 23:33.714 --> 23:34.857 [Lacer (Kai)]: Concentration, concentration. 23:34.897 --> 23:35.037 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 23:38.284 --> 23:39.787 [Riv (DM)]: Entangle goes out. 23:39.807 --> 23:43.274 [Riv (DM)]: Huge amounts of roots and vines and weeds sprout all over the area. 23:44.156 --> 23:47.062 [Lacer (Kai)]: I need a fireball! 23:47.182 --> 23:48.705 [Riv (DM)]: But, interestingly, 23:49.698 --> 23:54.491 [Riv (DM)]: I think enough of them have been burned and melted away that they have stopped the chase. 23:55.513 --> 24:04.517 [Riv (DM)]: You can just see the last pair, few pairs of gleaming eyes and you're sort of like looking down your direction just disappear back into the shadow as you guys are backing up. 24:07.754 --> 24:08.375 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How many of them? 24:09.697 --> 24:15.745 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, you would have killed a few dozen easily, just with the Fireball and the Moonbeam across two turns. 24:17.127 --> 24:21.513 [Riv (DM)]: Easily half a dozen giant spiders would have gone down and just countless dozens of smaller ones. 24:23.796 --> 24:27.020 [Riv (DM)]: And with that, everything goes still again in the caves. 24:27.681 --> 24:34.150 [Riv (DM)]: You hear the disappearing sound of skittering feet in the distance and eventually fading out to nothing. 24:39.378 --> 24:39.899 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Damn. 24:40.479 --> 24:41.901 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How does combat work with them? 24:41.921 --> 24:44.083 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If we chose to engage them in melee? 24:45.625 --> 24:46.305 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Try it and find out. 24:50.650 --> 24:51.691 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We'd probably get overrun. 24:55.115 --> 24:57.057 [JC (Ryo)]: Right, so do we want to shut this cave? 24:57.197 --> 25:00.821 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm gonna pull in my pack and pull out an explosive arrow. 25:00.841 --> 25:01.762 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was about to say. 25:03.303 --> 25:05.706 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Same thoughts. 25:09.027 --> 25:11.010 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is there any other way we can deal with these? 25:12.112 --> 25:18.001 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Like, there's no sign of gold, and we haven't accounted for all the people that we're missing, have we? 25:19.363 --> 25:25.933 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, we didn't get to check all the web in case of things that were all around within a time. 25:27.515 --> 25:31.221 [Lacer (Kai)]: We weren't given a head count of how many people were here though, either, though. 25:32.905 --> 25:36.730 [Lacer (Kai)]: We know a platoon of soldiers went down, which is roughly 30. 25:37.130 --> 25:42.316 [Lacer (Kai)]: We don't know how many miners that got killed. 25:42.356 --> 25:44.078 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How many houses were there on the surface? 25:45.881 --> 25:47.322 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There was a fair few. 25:47.342 --> 25:48.484 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think we had a rough idea. 25:48.504 --> 25:51.708 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We think we're looking at 30, 40 people. 25:52.328 --> 25:53.290 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's about right, yep. 25:53.310 --> 25:54.391 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, 30, 40. 25:56.854 --> 25:58.035 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Having to break up a bit, Lacer. 25:58.856 --> 25:59.337 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh yeah, sorry. 26:00.278 --> 26:01.900 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, 30, 40 people. 26:03.145 --> 26:04.466 [Lacer (Kai)]: Those spiders were feasting. 26:06.328 --> 26:08.530 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, that's probably why there's so many numbers. 26:10.232 --> 26:13.054 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And they obviously would have had a lot of numbers to take out of Garrison. 26:14.356 --> 26:19.761 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, we're not a Garrison, but we have more firepower, I believe. 26:20.682 --> 26:22.724 [Lacer (Kai)]: Garrison doesn't have casters, do they normally? 26:22.804 --> 26:24.205 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do you remember, Valoran? 26:25.766 --> 26:26.187 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not sure. 26:27.188 --> 26:30.111 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably not for a dinky little outfit like this just holding a mine. 26:30.511 --> 26:32.713 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: These are guards, this would be like a shit duty. 26:34.280 --> 26:35.982 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, what's your thoughts? 26:36.082 --> 26:39.407 [Lacer (Kai)]: We got tons of little, big and little spiders. 26:40.368 --> 26:46.335 [Lacer (Kai)]: What's the plan here? 26:46.355 --> 26:46.816 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Indeed. 26:47.337 --> 26:49.319 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What would satisfy our employer? 26:52.663 --> 26:53.925 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't know what happened. 26:54.045 --> 26:54.786 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: They all got eaten. 26:58.090 --> 27:04.477 [Lacer (Kai)]: They're gonna ask, did we clear this infestation of giant spiders? 27:04.597 --> 27:14.988 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's the thing, because they want this back up and operational, but we also know the Green Gryphon wants this goldmine as well, for the adventurers and the city. 27:15.808 --> 27:18.011 [Lacer (Kai)]: More occasions denying it to the Empire. 27:18.571 --> 27:18.832 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 27:22.636 --> 27:24.958 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: In that case, we could say we tried to 27:26.137 --> 27:29.281 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Kill them and accidentally collapsed the mine. 27:31.203 --> 27:34.046 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's not going to stop them from coming back and reopening it, you know? 27:34.707 --> 27:35.789 [Lacer (Kai)]: And then get eaten again. 27:36.610 --> 27:42.677 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, the mine owner's already on the edge of financial straits and the Empire doesn't really give a shit. 27:44.699 --> 27:47.663 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't think he'd be sending people back out to reopen that he couldn't afford to. 27:50.086 --> 27:50.847 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't know, money... 27:50.867 --> 27:53.309 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The areas where all the existing gold has disappeared to. 27:53.570 --> 27:55.452 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I was wondering. 27:56.258 --> 28:00.112 [Lacer (Kai)]: Money does stuff to people in power, you know? 28:00.493 --> 28:02.239 [Lacer (Kai)]: He seems stressed, he needs money. 28:02.600 --> 28:07.618 [Lacer (Kai)]: There's no reason why he wouldn't borrow money to open up to get more money knowing it's a gold mine. 28:16.070 --> 28:25.163 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Before we decide to march back down the tunnel... DM, do you have anything prepared or are you sitting there going, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck? 28:26.164 --> 28:27.446 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I mean, whatever you guys want to do. 28:27.466 --> 28:33.995 [Riv (DM)]: I know what is beyond the tunnel, that's for sure. 28:34.015 --> 28:35.918 [Riv (DM)]: So there's something beyond the tunnel. 28:36.252 --> 28:40.037 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I mean, you've still got another one of those lasers in your pocket. 28:40.738 --> 28:44.964 [Lacer (Kai)]: I've got, uh, let me, let me check my... my pocket. 28:47.428 --> 28:48.930 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I've got two more. 28:49.291 --> 28:50.092 [Lacer (Kai)]: Two more I could throw. 28:51.634 --> 28:52.455 [Lacer (Kai)]: Couldn't hurt to poke you. 28:52.475 --> 28:54.138 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, technically, technically I could throw four. 28:54.398 --> 28:56.701 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's only a second level, but I like to throw it at third. 28:56.761 --> 29:00.827 [Lacer (Kai)]: To do a bit more... a bit more punch. 29:02.289 --> 29:02.850 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You reckon that... 29:03.438 --> 29:05.801 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Let's poke down and just have a little bit of a look-see a bit further. 29:06.623 --> 29:13.232 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If nothing else, sketch some, um, proof that the miners and stuff were all killed by spiders. 29:14.314 --> 29:16.857 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dondar, you're really familiar with this mine. 29:16.877 --> 29:20.202 [Lacer (Kai)]: Did you happen to see any, like, explosives? 29:20.322 --> 29:20.743 [Lacer (Kai)]: What? 29:20.863 --> 29:21.404 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dwarves? 29:21.524 --> 29:22.265 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm just assuming. 29:22.285 --> 29:24.268 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm stereotyping here, alright? 29:24.288 --> 29:24.869 [Lacer (Kai)]: This mine. 29:25.570 --> 29:26.291 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not this mine. 29:26.571 --> 29:27.152 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, this mine. 29:27.172 --> 29:28.133 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm saying this mine. 29:28.213 --> 29:30.016 [Lacer (Kai)]: Did you happen to see any explosives? 29:30.116 --> 29:32.179 [Lacer (Kai)]: Would you use explosives to mine gold? 29:32.243 --> 29:32.944 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 29:33.745 --> 29:34.266 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not really. 29:35.809 --> 29:43.902 [Riv (DM)]: Donda's experience would probably be less in gold and more in precious gems. 29:45.104 --> 29:52.196 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't think I was really born when dwarves were at their power. 29:52.256 --> 29:57.745 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So I probably wouldn't have actually experienced much mining. 29:59.986 --> 30:08.399 [Lacer (Kai)]: I wasn't paying attention to the cave so I didn't see any explosives or anything so maybe I found a hammer. 30:08.419 --> 30:17.754 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I know the elf has explosives but I don't recall seeing any without a rope. 30:19.416 --> 30:22.842 [JC (Ryo)]: Keep calling me the elf and there's going to be a dead dwarf. 30:23.503 --> 30:24.344 [JC (Ryo)]: I swear to god. 30:24.745 --> 30:26.888 [JC (Ryo)]: You keep calling me the dwarf! 30:27.340 --> 30:28.962 [JC (Ryo)]: I called you the dwarf once. 30:29.162 --> 30:32.426 [JC (Ryo)]: You keep calling me the damn elf when you know these bastards are- You said it just then! 30:32.626 --> 30:33.828 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What, the spiders aren't gonna notice? 30:35.189 --> 30:36.891 [JC (Ryo)]: The spiders aren't the empire guards. 30:36.911 --> 30:40.255 [JC (Ryo)]: You guys keep calling me the fucking elf in public, you dumb shit. 30:40.976 --> 30:43.599 [JC (Ryo)]: Like seriously, they're gonna lock me up just because I'm an elf. 30:43.619 --> 30:46.562 [JC (Ryo)]: You see me hiding myself every time we go near them. 30:47.403 --> 30:49.166 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm a dwarf, they're not gonna believe me. 30:49.186 --> 30:53.871 [JC (Ryo)]: Maybe we should- They hear elf, they lock me up for the sake of it. 30:56.990 --> 30:58.171 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, alright, alright. 30:58.191 --> 31:01.374 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think that's the smallest problem we have here right now. 31:01.714 --> 31:03.276 [Lacer (Kai)]: How about we go with a nickname? 31:03.396 --> 31:04.437 [JC (Ryo)]: Is that a jab at me? 31:04.477 --> 31:06.098 [JC (Ryo)]: You just can't leave it alone! 31:06.118 --> 31:10.302 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, no, I wasn't thinking. 31:13.365 --> 31:16.948 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: God, first the disguised green thing and now you. 31:20.091 --> 31:21.633 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar hasn't drunk enough alcohol today. 31:22.894 --> 31:24.195 [Lacer (Kai)]: Clearly not. 31:25.559 --> 31:31.385 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think you'll feel better if you fire another fireball sooner than later. 31:32.546 --> 31:34.328 [Lacer (Kai)]: Even gets rolled damage on that one. 31:34.348 --> 31:37.972 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I mean, regardless of how much you rolled, they were all pretty much going to die. 31:39.093 --> 31:41.616 [Riv (DM)]: But could you please actually just cross it off just so we... 31:41.636 --> 31:41.936 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have. 31:42.177 --> 31:43.017 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, perfect, thank you. 31:44.139 --> 31:45.660 [Riv (DM)]: Alright guys, what's the plan then? 31:46.701 --> 31:47.722 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We're arguing. 31:48.924 --> 31:51.006 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We're going to have a full domestic... 31:51.226 --> 31:53.068 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm halfway out of the cave. 31:55.242 --> 31:58.105 [JC (Ryo)]: I've just started walking. 31:58.125 --> 31:58.946 [Riv (DM)]: Ryo starts walking away. 32:02.590 --> 32:04.772 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: On his own, surrounded by spiders, what could go wrong? 32:09.857 --> 32:13.821 [Lacer (Kai)]: You're seriously walking away, are you sort of like- Oh yeah, I'm halfway out of the cave. 32:15.003 --> 32:19.828 [JC (Ryo)]: My guy's halfway out of the cave, my guy's fuming. 32:19.848 --> 32:20.068 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wow. 32:20.748 --> 32:24.152 [Lacer (Kai)]: I guess that's how loyal elves are, hey? 32:29.414 --> 32:30.355 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's one way to look at it. 32:41.992 --> 32:43.794 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just want to echo out the cave. 32:44.074 --> 32:45.396 [Lacer (Kai)]: Come on back, Rio. 32:45.697 --> 32:47.019 [Lacer (Kai)]: The job's not done yet. 32:55.290 --> 32:58.054 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: What exactly was the wording of the job? 32:59.755 --> 33:02.099 [Lacer (Kai)]: Um, I don't know actually. 33:06.627 --> 33:08.530 [Lacer (Kai)]: Did anyone write it down in the journal? 33:10.593 --> 33:23.215 [Riv (DM)]: The gist of it was to investigate why the shipments have stopped and to enable the mine to become operational again. 33:23.988 --> 33:29.734 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: So realistically, if we can cave in the mine, where the, uh, the nest. 33:31.215 --> 33:33.738 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Hmm. 33:33.758 --> 33:37.282 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And, uh, we let them know, don't fucking go that way. 33:37.322 --> 33:41.726 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The job's complete. 33:43.328 --> 33:43.628 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: True. 33:44.049 --> 33:44.629 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Pretty much. 33:45.891 --> 33:52.037 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alternatively, we can blow this end of the main entrance. 33:52.945 --> 33:59.759 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And report in that there was obviously some sort of collapse and the guards must have run off with all the money and the mine's no longer functional. 34:01.382 --> 34:07.334 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Then the Empire doesn't get it and somebody else more friendly with us can come back later and mine the gold. 34:08.356 --> 34:09.618 [Lacer (Kai)]: And get eaten by spiders. 34:09.798 --> 34:12.905 [Lacer (Kai)]: And hopefully get some adventurers down to secure the mine. 34:12.945 --> 34:14.127 [Lacer (Kai)]: It'd be a... 34:15.575 --> 34:15.956 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 34:16.917 --> 34:21.664 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Personally, we should probably poke back in just a little bit further and see what's going on. 34:22.005 --> 34:24.408 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would like to check those bodies. 34:24.568 --> 34:29.896 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 34:30.097 --> 34:33.462 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I'd like to quietly head back so I could do a... 34:34.123 --> 34:40.132 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to do a detect magic spell to see if there's anything of value with these people. 34:41.213 --> 34:44.518 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or just to check that we can do a head count on all the 34:45.713 --> 34:49.758 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cacooned people or dead people just to make sure. 34:49.818 --> 34:55.866 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe they're potentially maybe survivors, hopefully. 34:57.168 --> 34:58.409 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe just wrapped up and alive. 35:00.452 --> 35:00.953 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 35:01.653 --> 35:06.680 [Riv (DM)]: So Kai starts to head in towards the second cave. 35:09.423 --> 35:10.405 [Riv (DM)]: Do the rest of you follow? 35:10.565 --> 35:12.227 [Riv (DM)]: And Rio, are you still heading out? 35:15.295 --> 35:16.016 [JC (Ryo)]: I've stopped. 35:16.056 --> 35:16.557 [JC (Ryo)]: I've heard them. 35:16.897 --> 35:17.618 [JC (Ryo)]: Heard the discussion. 35:17.658 --> 35:18.319 [JC (Ryo)]: I've turned around. 35:18.940 --> 35:19.461 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 35:19.481 --> 35:23.046 [Riv (DM)]: Taking a few moments to cool off. 35:23.066 --> 35:23.326 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 35:23.406 --> 35:30.256 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, as you head back in, I'd like you to roll me a stealth check, along with anyone else who is also heading in this direction. 35:32.839 --> 35:33.100 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 35:33.120 --> 35:36.585 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I've been with him and just saying, keep that laser handy. 35:38.988 --> 35:43.294 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And also, that was smart enough to retreat, then they're smart enough to ambush. 35:45.080 --> 35:46.061 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, we got some big rolls. 35:47.563 --> 35:50.265 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm about to roll and that'll bring it down. 35:50.365 --> 35:52.187 [Lacer (Kai)]: Here comes the tin man. 35:52.207 --> 35:53.829 [Riv (DM)]: I think as long as you don't get a natural one I'll be fine. 35:53.889 --> 35:55.971 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, you're clanking along, man. 35:57.132 --> 36:03.279 [Riv (DM)]: I think, um... Ryo, uh, you would've caught up by now, I assume? 36:05.821 --> 36:06.222 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 36:07.984 --> 36:09.045 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll leave that one to you, too. 36:09.425 --> 36:10.927 [Riv (DM)]: He's double-dashing. 36:10.947 --> 36:14.310 [Riv (DM)]: You can aim high as well if you like, but why don't you chuck one in for me as well? 36:17.716 --> 36:19.439 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, cool, cool. 36:19.499 --> 36:30.176 [Riv (DM)]: Remember the way group checks work is that you count the number of successes and failures. 36:31.778 --> 36:36.285 [Riv (DM)]: So if there's five people and I see three successes and two failures it would be overall a group success. 36:39.711 --> 36:44.398 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, you cast Detect Magic as you get through into the second cave system. 36:46.100 --> 36:48.642 [Riv (DM)]: Um, is that a ritual that you're gonna do? 36:48.662 --> 36:49.824 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I was gonna ritual. 36:49.844 --> 36:53.027 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was gonna, like, slowly cast it. 36:53.047 --> 36:53.407 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 36:53.427 --> 36:54.388 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or, uh, what's it called? 36:54.408 --> 36:54.828 [Lacer (Kai)]: Circle? 36:54.888 --> 36:55.749 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ritual circle? 36:56.390 --> 37:00.714 [Lacer (Kai)]: And, um, quietly chant. 37:00.734 --> 37:00.934 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 37:01.275 --> 37:01.835 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, cool. 37:01.875 --> 37:02.556 [Lacer (Kai)]: For ten minutes. 37:04.057 --> 37:09.102 [Riv (DM)]: Um, you do get a slight ping coming from one of the cocoons that's further along down the tunnel. 37:09.443 --> 37:10.964 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe about three quarters of the way down. 37:14.608 --> 37:15.128 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 37:16.694 --> 37:20.559 [Lacer (Kai)]: Umm...

46:26.190 --> 46:27.111 [Lacer (Kai)]: They're glowing, right? 46:27.532 --> 46:29.394 [Lacer (Kai)]: Spores are usually flammable. 46:34.801 --> 46:38.045 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to cut one small glowing mushroom. 46:38.325 --> 46:42.010 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's see if it still glows if I hold it in my hand. 46:42.462 --> 46:44.164 [Riv (DM)]: Which color are you going for? 46:45.125 --> 46:45.565 [Riv (DM)]: Green one. 46:46.666 --> 46:48.208 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 46:51.171 --> 46:56.617 [Riv (DM)]: There are like small sort of, you know, variety of sizes. 46:56.717 --> 47:00.601 [Riv (DM)]: Some the size of your hand, but some that might be like a foot tall and a foot wide sort of thing. 47:01.222 --> 47:01.823 [Riv (DM)]: How big are we talking? 47:01.843 --> 47:03.104 [Riv (DM)]: You just want to get a small one or a big one? 47:03.124 --> 47:04.986 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just want a small one, just the size of like a mug. 47:05.346 --> 47:05.527 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 47:05.887 --> 47:06.247 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 47:06.267 --> 47:07.529 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you can grab a little small one out. 47:07.889 --> 47:10.772 [Riv (DM)]: It gives off a little bit of a glow. 47:11.273 --> 47:11.473 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 47:12.888 --> 47:17.034 [Lacer (Kai)]: And then I throw it down the cave. 47:17.755 --> 47:19.558 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, the direction you came or the direction ahead of you? 47:20.119 --> 47:20.600 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ahead of me. 47:21.281 --> 47:21.541 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 47:23.304 --> 47:26.449 [Riv (DM)]: Just bounced a little bit on the ground, it doesn't seem to... 47:26.549 --> 47:30.715 [Riv (DM)]: When you throw it, a green cloud of spores does sort of emanate from it. 47:33.479 --> 47:34.801 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, other than that, nothing. 47:34.821 --> 47:35.583 [Riv (DM)]: It didn't explode? 47:36.264 --> 47:37.225 [Riv (DM)]: Do I get sequenced? 47:38.774 --> 47:42.480 [Riv (DM)]: I think that one was probably, yeah, not from that one. 47:42.620 --> 47:43.261 [Riv (DM)]: You seem to be fine. 47:45.765 --> 47:48.188 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How many people can we see? 47:48.829 --> 47:50.331 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How many cocoons? 47:50.632 --> 47:59.525 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can we do an area check for how many webby cocoons are in the vicinity? 48:01.308 --> 48:04.092 [Riv (DM)]: There's probably, yeah, it's probably close to about 20 in here. 48:06.055 --> 48:08.038 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And do any look like they've been 48:09.250 --> 48:11.934 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Uh, wrapped and then unwrapped? 48:13.617 --> 48:13.917 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Uh, no. 48:13.937 --> 48:17.483 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Like, any indication of what the spiders have done with them after they've been wrapped? 48:18.284 --> 48:18.664 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 48:18.845 --> 48:19.646 [Riv (DM)]: No, it doesn't seem like it. 48:19.666 --> 48:29.942 [Riv (DM)]: It seems like they've just been wrapped up. 48:29.962 --> 48:32.085 [Lacer (Kai)]: Should we check each one, see if there's any survivors? 48:34.225 --> 48:35.546 [Lacer (Kai)]: 20 shouldn't take us long. 48:35.566 --> 48:39.350 [Lacer (Kai)]: If there's 5 of us, we just need to check 4 each, or 5 each. 48:41.232 --> 48:46.778 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We need to check, see if there's any indication that some of them are soldiers or they're all miners. 48:48.099 --> 48:50.001 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, alright. 48:50.021 --> 48:53.244 [Lacer (Kai)]: It'll only take us like, what, 5-10 minutes? 48:53.264 --> 48:58.990 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just to split it in half. 48:59.010 --> 48:59.170 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 49:00.955 --> 49:01.916 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 49:01.936 --> 49:02.798 [Riv (DM)]: 5-10 minutes can be spent. 49:03.559 --> 49:05.381 [Riv (DM)]: You pull out 20 or so people. 49:05.802 --> 49:07.825 [Riv (DM)]: Most of them seem to be minors. 49:08.225 --> 49:09.847 [Riv (DM)]: There are a few soldiers in here though. 49:09.867 --> 49:13.593 [Riv (DM)]: Some of them clearly had weapons or have got more armoured attire on. 49:15.295 --> 49:16.156 [Riv (DM)]: You lay them out. 49:16.216 --> 49:24.327 [Riv (DM)]: There's, shall we say, probably 5 soldiers here and 15 minors. 49:24.888 --> 49:28.313 [Riv (DM)]: All of varying races and genders. 49:29.812 --> 49:30.553 [Riv (DM)]: You can lay them all out. 49:32.135 --> 49:36.802 [Riv (DM)]: The soldiers don't have any weapons, but you can see, you know, empty sheaths and stuff like that. 49:37.323 --> 49:39.726 [Riv (DM)]: All dead. 49:41.208 --> 49:42.490 [Riv (DM)]: Or at least seemingly all dead. 49:42.530 --> 49:44.213 [Riv (DM)]: None of them are breathing or have heart rates. 49:47.517 --> 49:49.560 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is their armour, like, pierced? 49:49.580 --> 49:51.383 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, how did they die? 49:51.923 --> 49:53.466 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do they have, like, bite marks on their necks? 49:54.167 --> 49:55.669 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, go do a medicine check. 49:56.830 --> 49:57.912 [Lacer (Kai)]: That I can do for you. 50:04.372 --> 50:05.493 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, not today. 50:05.513 --> 50:07.676 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't see anything. 50:07.996 --> 50:09.098 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, kind of unsure. 50:09.658 --> 50:10.820 [Lacer (Kai)]: They're too mutilated. 50:10.880 --> 50:23.215 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The fact that all their weapons are missing is immediately making me sus as fuck. 50:23.815 --> 50:24.196 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 50:27.940 --> 50:31.965 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, this is probably about enough to compliment, I believe. 50:33.785 --> 50:35.568 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm guessing the rest of them are gonna take the weapons. 50:37.110 --> 50:37.651 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 50:39.554 --> 50:39.654 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah. 50:39.794 --> 50:44.982 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Or did they all just have their weapons drawn and have been moved by the spiders? 50:45.723 --> 50:47.786 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We still haven't seen weapons anywhere. 50:48.847 --> 50:49.829 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And all the gold is missing. 50:49.849 --> 50:52.032 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Like, there is not a drop of gold in this goldmine. 50:53.034 --> 50:55.057 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Why would all the spiders move them here? 50:56.999 --> 50:59.423 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Closer to the feeding butt. 50:59.844 --> 51:01.446 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, there's no sign of feeding. 51:04.615 --> 51:08.399 [Lacer (Kai)]: The question is, they must have died somewhere else, and they have been moved here. 51:10.742 --> 51:12.464 [Lacer (Kai)]: For a reason. 51:12.484 --> 51:15.208 [Lacer (Kai)]: Very strange. 51:16.009 --> 51:17.370 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I think we should continue on. 51:18.752 --> 51:30.426 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Quickly, the cave dust under our feet, it's probably overrun with spider tracks, but there doesn't look like a large contingent of troops marched through here and left boot tracks everywhere. 51:31.987 --> 51:33.289 [Riv (DM)]: Check your survival check out for me. 51:35.463 --> 51:44.235 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, cave floor, man. 51:44.255 --> 51:44.535 [Riv (DM)]: Rocks. 51:45.456 --> 51:45.676 [Riv (DM)]: Rocks. 51:45.977 --> 51:46.297 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 51:46.417 --> 51:48.360 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay. 51:48.380 --> 51:49.982 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, I'm gonna take a little poke around that corner. 51:50.783 --> 51:51.724 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Alright. 51:51.744 --> 51:53.186 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is there anything we can leave here? 51:53.246 --> 51:55.249 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Any traps that we could trigger later? 51:57.092 --> 51:58.213 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Some sort of alarm spell? 52:01.163 --> 52:03.026 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I already used one of those. 52:03.046 --> 52:04.188 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And I don't have that. 52:04.208 --> 52:08.494 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I mean for the purpose of defending ourselves if we have to run back. 52:12.460 --> 52:14.523 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I assume not. 52:14.543 --> 52:19.611 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think if we have to run back we blast through anything that gets in our way, laser what's behind and hope. 52:20.941 --> 52:26.689 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, actually, you know where that spot, GM, that I made the wall of water? 52:27.170 --> 52:34.220 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to add more water, and add another five foot cube of water to make the tunnel entrance only five foot. 52:36.103 --> 52:43.694 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is it the case that you are able to stack them, or I thought once you do the next one... Yeah, I can have two up at the same time. 52:44.054 --> 52:46.137 [Lacer (Kai)]: As long as two pieces are frozen. 52:47.039 --> 52:48.060 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's it. 52:48.160 --> 52:50.003 [Lacer (Kai)]: I only wanted to freeze it twice. 52:51.130 --> 52:51.471 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 52:52.473 --> 52:53.154 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 52:53.174 --> 52:54.036 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, that's fine. 52:54.056 --> 53:02.354 [Riv (DM)]: Um, so what I would just point out is that, um, you would have seen as you guys were running back down the corridor, the spiders don't really care about floors or ceilings or walls. 53:02.375 --> 53:03.136 [Riv (DM)]: They were everywhere. 53:03.236 --> 53:04.720 [Riv (DM)]: They were on the ceiling, on the walls, so yeah. 53:05.120 --> 53:06.243 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ah, they go around it. 53:06.263 --> 53:08.127 [Riv (DM)]: This wall wouldn't have necessarily impeded them. 53:09.912 --> 53:14.960 [Riv (DM)]: But you can totally add on if you like, to make it more difficult for yourselves to escape when you're coming back. 53:16.343 --> 53:17.364 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, it's there now. 53:17.665 --> 53:18.246 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep, it's there. 53:19.267 --> 53:19.788 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 53:19.828 --> 53:20.930 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's been there for an hour. 53:21.411 --> 53:26.880 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 53:26.900 --> 53:27.561 [Riv (DM)]: So, looking ahead? 53:29.424 --> 53:29.825 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 53:30.967 --> 53:32.670 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 53:32.690 --> 53:32.950 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 53:33.554 --> 53:35.536 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do we want to go stealthy, people? 53:35.596 --> 53:38.639 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll ask Rio. 53:39.280 --> 53:54.116 [Lacer (Kai)]: How long does Pass Without Trace, that nifty spell, last? 53:54.376 --> 53:55.558 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is my mic working? 53:55.578 --> 53:56.038 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I'm ready. 53:56.058 --> 53:56.318 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You are. 53:56.839 --> 53:57.840 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You are breaking up a bit. 53:58.816 --> 54:01.059 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I don't know why my internet's a bit iffy today. 54:01.921 --> 54:03.002 [JC (Ryo)]: Not you, Lacer. 54:03.403 --> 54:04.064 [JC (Ryo)]: It's a me. 54:04.385 --> 54:06.648 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, mine. 54:06.668 --> 54:07.930 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm watching mine fluctuate too. 54:10.434 --> 54:14.961 [JC (Ryo)]: Uh, if I can keep my concentration on it, uh, an hour, Kai. 54:14.981 --> 54:15.382 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, thanks. 54:15.522 --> 54:16.063 [Lacer (Kai)]: Thanks, buddy. 54:17.004 --> 54:20.029 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, we're probably doing about 20, 20 or 30. 54:24.856 --> 54:27.220 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Because we've been riffing bodies and... 54:27.959 --> 54:28.860 [JC (Ryo)]: I haven't cast it yet. 54:30.782 --> 54:33.224 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondar has disguised green man shoes. 54:34.846 --> 54:37.469 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I don't think we cast it earlier as well, right? 54:38.389 --> 54:40.111 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so I think we're good on that. 54:40.131 --> 54:40.832 [Riv (DM)]: I think we're fresh on that. 54:40.852 --> 54:43.795 [Riv (DM)]: So did you want to put one up now or just gonna have a quick look ahead first? 54:48.359 --> 54:50.281 [Unmatched Speaker]: Yeah, yeah, okay. 54:52.023 --> 54:53.865 [Unmatched Speaker]: Okay, I cast Pass Without Trace. 54:55.887 --> 54:56.568 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 54:56.588 --> 54:56.949 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 54:56.969 --> 54:59.232 [Riv (DM)]: Let's get a stealth check, everyone, as we start pushing onwards. 55:01.215 --> 55:02.217 [Riv (DM)]: And you can plus 10. 55:04.680 --> 55:05.141 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do I need it? 55:12.332 --> 55:14.195 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Hang on, I need to... Oop, doesn't matter. 55:14.215 --> 55:17.480 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was going to say I need to roll disadvantage, but it doesn't matter because I rolled a 1 anyway. 55:19.583 --> 55:23.249 [JC (Ryo)]: So, 11 for me. 55:23.289 --> 55:24.190 [JC (Ryo)]: Stealth check, you said?

59:23.632 --> 59:24.374 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, I'll get one. 59:25.897 --> 59:26.658 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll help you. 59:27.079 --> 59:27.640 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll help you. 59:28.001 --> 59:30.025 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, roll it with advantage. 59:32.772 --> 59:33.112 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 59:33.873 --> 59:39.940 [Riv (DM)]: So the moss and the flora, it also affects the sound in here. 59:40.781 --> 59:42.843 [Riv (DM)]: Inside a cave, when you hear a stone drop, it echoes. 59:43.264 --> 59:44.125 [Riv (DM)]: It feels quite harsh. 59:44.205 --> 59:50.933 [Riv (DM)]: The softness of the terrain here, it almost makes it feel calming, almost serene. 59:51.774 --> 59:53.415 [Riv (DM)]: It really is like walking into a different world. 59:54.056 --> 59:59.202 [Riv (DM)]: With a 15 perception check, you notice as your eyes are adjusting to the gentle light, 59:59.755 --> 01:00:04.022 [Riv (DM)]: Subtle movements out in the forest, emerging from behind a mushroom over there. 01:00:04.463 --> 01:00:07.929 [Riv (DM)]: You can see this small little humanoid figure, about three feet tall. 01:00:08.710 --> 01:00:11.274 [Riv (DM)]: Its body resembles the fungi around it. 01:00:12.036 --> 01:00:23.535 [Riv (DM)]: It's got soft, light flesh, porous mycelium, and their heads have got a little cap on top, a little mushroom top that are all varied in shapes and colour. 01:00:23.515 --> 01:00:28.662 [Riv (DM)]: You see another one over there who walks out and he just sort of passes behind a mushroom, wandering off in that direction. 01:00:28.702 --> 01:00:32.648 [Riv (DM)]: He's also got, you know, glowing little specks on top of his mushroom cap. 01:00:33.609 --> 01:00:37.855 [Riv (DM)]: They seem to be these little guys that are just wandering around, going about their business. 01:00:38.135 --> 01:00:47.228 [Riv (DM)]: You know, this guy over here picks up a mushroom, runs back in the direction, deeper into the cave, and none of them appear to have noticed you yet. 01:00:51.983 --> 01:00:53.364 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Anyone know what these things are? 01:00:58.309 --> 01:00:58.569 [Riv (DM)]: Not. 01:00:58.750 --> 01:01:00.131 [Riv (DM)]: Someone roll a history check. 01:01:03.074 --> 01:01:05.917 [Riv (DM)]: Or a nature check. 01:01:05.937 --> 01:01:06.858 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'll try history. 01:01:09.380 --> 01:01:11.983 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't know if I have advantage from anything. 01:01:18.469 --> 01:01:18.649 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Uh... 01:01:20.485 --> 01:01:22.027 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'll assist you. 01:01:22.288 --> 01:01:23.850 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We'll brainstorm. 01:01:27.055 --> 01:01:33.445 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Quack, quack. 01:01:33.465 --> 01:01:38.072 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm, um... Yeah... 01:01:40.060 --> 01:01:43.366 [Riv (DM)]: I think you might have heard... Read it in a book. 01:01:43.587 --> 01:01:45.049 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you might have read some book. 01:01:45.069 --> 01:01:46.172 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar is studious. 01:01:46.833 --> 01:01:47.674 [Riv (DM)]: You would have read a book. 01:01:47.734 --> 01:01:59.477 [Riv (DM)]: It might have been a fiction novel or a historical fiction or something, but you do remember seeing reference to small fungi-like creatures that live in the deep places beneath the earth. 01:02:00.138 --> 01:02:02.322 [Riv (DM)]: Actually, 01:02:03.736 --> 01:02:08.562 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it is very likely Dondar would have read about this, given where he's from. 01:02:11.026 --> 01:02:14.350 [Riv (DM)]: For the most part they are benevolent, they're harmless, they just do their thing. 01:02:15.011 --> 01:02:20.699 [Riv (DM)]: They often try and keep to themselves and they try to get along with whoever comes their way as much as possible. 01:02:22.982 --> 01:02:25.305 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, other than that you wouldn't know much else I don't think. 01:02:29.302 --> 01:02:31.205 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do any of them approach us? 01:02:31.986 --> 01:02:33.007 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or they haven't seen us yet? 01:02:33.027 --> 01:02:34.329 [Lacer (Kai)]: They wouldn't have seen us yet. 01:02:34.349 --> 01:02:34.570 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 01:02:36.753 --> 01:02:38.576 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dondar, are these things friendly? 01:02:49.952 --> 01:02:50.853 [Unmatched Speaker]: You muted, Kiwi. 01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:56.942 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dondar's giving me the core treatments. 01:02:56.962 --> 01:02:58.144 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That remains to be seen. 01:03:01.178 --> 01:03:04.122 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Undar suddenly wakes up as if from a muted scooper. 01:03:05.264 --> 01:03:06.326 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That remains to be seen. 01:03:06.366 --> 01:03:11.153 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: They would have to be in league with the spiders, surely, to survive. 01:03:11.193 --> 01:03:14.317 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 01:03:14.738 --> 01:03:15.419 [Lacer (Kai)]: Mushrooms. 01:03:15.740 --> 01:03:16.461 [Lacer (Kai)]: Mushroom people. 01:03:18.043 --> 01:03:18.704 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Did they make money? 01:03:18.724 --> 01:03:22.530 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, the spiders have not killed them. 01:03:22.550 --> 01:03:25.234 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So you'd imagine... 01:03:27.197 --> 01:03:29.300 [Lacer (Kai)]: Your logic is fair. 01:03:29.320 --> 01:03:30.882 [Lacer (Kai)]: That makes sense. 01:03:35.452 --> 01:03:54.032 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Are there any indications of structures or dwellings or anything that's sort of a centralized community of these things? 01:03:54.893 --> 01:03:56.014 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's quite dense. 01:03:56.355 --> 01:04:00.339 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's kind of difficult to see where you are, to be honest. 01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:01.740 [Riv (DM)]: You do see... 01:04:03.462 --> 01:04:05.104 [Riv (DM)]: Check a possession check out for me, eh? 01:04:14.635 --> 01:04:20.961 [Riv (DM)]: Um yeah it's probably where you are at the moment on the far side it's probably difficult to really see any sort of centralized area. 01:04:23.204 --> 01:04:35.556 [Riv (DM)]: Um where we're standing now Kai you do detect so there there are obviously mushrooms everywhere um close nearby um there are a few red ones greens blues purples um the green ones are giving off a poison. 01:04:37.298 --> 01:04:39.800 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is this like the same one that I cut before? 01:04:40.180 --> 01:04:42.803 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's bigger. 01:04:43.610 --> 01:04:45.712 [Lacer (Kai)]: So the bigger green ones are poisons. 01:04:46.372 --> 01:04:47.233 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 01:04:47.433 --> 01:04:54.279 [Riv (DM)]: I think you get the idea that the smaller one was too infantile to actually be creating enough spores to be poisonous. 01:04:55.300 --> 01:04:55.721 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 01:04:56.782 --> 01:05:01.566 [Lacer (Kai)]: So I walk five feet closer to the green one just to make sure it's poisonous. 01:05:02.126 --> 01:05:03.928 [Riv (DM)]: That's giving off poison clouds if you walk through that. 01:05:04.028 --> 01:05:04.869 [Riv (DM)]: Probably not good news. 01:05:05.810 --> 01:05:06.891 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do the red ones ping? 01:05:07.011 --> 01:05:08.432 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or the blue ones? 01:05:08.692 --> 01:05:09.673 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or the purple ones? 01:05:10.834 --> 01:05:11.895 [Riv (DM)]: No, none of the others do. 01:05:12.550 --> 01:05:14.553 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I whisper out. 01:05:15.073 --> 01:05:20.781 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hey guys, the big green ones, the really big ones, they have poisonous spores. 01:05:22.002 --> 01:05:24.726 [Lacer (Kai)]: Probably best to stay away from those. 01:05:26.227 --> 01:05:28.150 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Oh, you can tell which ones are poisonous? 01:05:28.891 --> 01:05:29.852 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: What about these ones? 01:05:32.736 --> 01:05:33.837 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, okay. 01:05:34.418 --> 01:05:35.139 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are those poisonous? 01:05:35.299 --> 01:05:38.423 [Lacer (Kai)]: The ones I picked in that cave with the banshee? 01:05:39.128 --> 01:05:42.775 [Riv (DM)]: Those are rotted beyond discretion. 01:05:42.795 --> 01:05:44.237 [Lacer (Kai)]: I know. 01:05:44.658 --> 01:05:45.860 [Lacer (Kai)]: I thought we tried those. 01:05:45.900 --> 01:05:46.942 [Lacer (Kai)]: Didn't we try those? 01:05:47.002 --> 01:05:48.946 [Riv (DM)]: I completely forgot that they were in my inventory. 01:05:50.248 --> 01:05:52.051 [Riv (DM)]: Just in like a pouch that's just a bit damp. 01:05:52.753 --> 01:05:55.939 [Riv (DM)]: Looking inside, like the walls of the pouch just are stuck together. 01:05:58.283 --> 01:06:00.407 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Does fungus actually rot like that? 01:06:00.427 --> 01:06:02.250 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Shouldn't it have just gotten more potent? 01:06:02.568 --> 01:06:03.890 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, fungus doesn't really... 01:06:04.471 --> 01:06:06.273 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, it goes all moldy and stuff, right? 01:06:06.354 --> 01:06:08.256 [Lacer (Kai)]: You can get moldy mushroom. 01:06:08.276 --> 01:06:09.238 [Lacer (Kai)]: It can go moldy. 01:06:09.598 --> 01:06:12.022 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's kind of like... What do you call that? 01:06:12.382 --> 01:06:15.006 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's like mold-eating fungus. 01:06:15.026 --> 01:06:17.189 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's kind of weird. 01:06:17.209 --> 01:06:17.930 [JC (Ryo)]: It's his world. 01:06:17.950 --> 01:06:19.733 [JC (Ryo)]: It's whatever he wants. 01:06:19.713 --> 01:06:20.834 [Lacer (Kai)]: But yeah, does it ping? 01:06:20.854 --> 01:06:22.176 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does the red ones ping? 01:06:22.216 --> 01:06:29.223 [Lacer (Kai)]: The poison, obviously the poison molecules do not degrade, it's just the flesh goes bad, but the poison remains. 01:06:29.783 --> 01:06:35.589 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah, I don't think they would have been poisonous at the time of them being more healthy. 01:06:36.290 --> 01:06:36.610 [Riv (DM)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:36.630 --> 01:06:36.951 [Riv (DM)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:36.971 --> 01:06:37.291 [Riv (DM)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:37.311 --> 01:06:37.631 [Riv (DM)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:37.832 --> 01:06:38.152 [Riv (DM)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:38.172 --> 01:06:38.532 [Riv (DM)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:38.552 --> 01:06:38.873 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:38.893 --> 01:06:39.213 [Riv (DM)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:39.233 --> 01:06:39.653 [Riv (DM)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:40.674 --> 01:06:41.015 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:41.035 --> 01:06:41.515 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:41.535 --> 01:06:41.856 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:41.876 --> 01:06:42.216 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:42.236 --> 01:06:43.237 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:43.257 --> 01:06:43.637 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:43.657 --> 01:06:43.978 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:43.998 --> 01:06:44.318 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:44.338 --> 01:06:44.879 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:44.899 --> 01:06:45.299 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:45.319 --> 01:06:45.700 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:45.720 --> 01:06:46.140 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:46.160 --> 01:06:46.600 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:46.621 --> 01:06:46.941 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and Lacerdea. 01:06:46.961 --> 01:06:47.121 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM and L 01:06:49.160 --> 01:06:50.823 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, opponent weapon then. 01:06:51.183 --> 01:06:52.105 [Lacer (Kai)]: A bioweapon. 01:06:53.126 --> 01:06:55.971 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, it can give you the runs if you want to run. 01:06:55.991 --> 01:06:57.694 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not against you! 01:06:57.734 --> 01:06:57.834 [Lacer (Kai)]: Fool. 01:06:59.297 --> 01:07:04.525 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If you screw them over someone. 01:07:07.590 --> 01:07:08.451 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I suppose. 01:07:08.652 --> 01:07:12.518 [Lacer (Kai)]: But that would require you to pick them up. 01:07:18.151 --> 01:07:21.295 [Lacer (Kai)]: So yeah, green ones, green ones, big, big green ones are bad. 01:07:30.648 --> 01:07:30.728 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hmm. 01:07:30.748 --> 01:07:34.152 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, shall we go, uh, little man hunting? 01:07:34.473 --> 01:07:36.535 [Lacer (Kai)]: Actually, I've got a really good idea right now. 01:07:36.836 --> 01:07:38.979 [Lacer (Kai)]: You know how I said spores were kind of flammable? 01:07:39.880 --> 01:07:41.762 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to, like, sort of cover my face. 01:07:42.703 --> 01:07:45.407 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I get that clicking candle back off you, Valoran?

01:08:02.979 --> 01:08:06.264 [Riv (DM)]: So there's like green ones, there's red ones and purple ones, blue ones. 01:08:06.725 --> 01:08:07.987 [Riv (DM)]: They're all sort of like bunched up together. 01:08:09.730 --> 01:08:12.154 [Riv (DM)]: So you bring the candle over, hold it quite close. 01:08:12.640 --> 01:08:14.603 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, just to a small spore cloud. 01:08:14.623 --> 01:08:16.065 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't want the whole place to blow up. 01:08:16.546 --> 01:08:18.769 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 01:08:20.391 --> 01:08:22.895 [Riv (DM)]: The green one, no, it doesn't. 01:08:23.175 --> 01:08:24.317 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't burn, it doesn't explode. 01:08:24.357 --> 01:08:30.886 [Riv (DM)]: The red one beside it, however, though, as soon as you kind of pass the candle over in front of it, there's immediately the... 01:08:30.906 --> 01:08:36.054 [Riv (DM)]: There's the spores around and just ignite instantly, and you almost get knocked back off your feet. 01:08:36.094 --> 01:08:38.337 [Riv (DM)]: If it was any bigger, you would probably be going flying. 01:08:38.958 --> 01:08:39.859 [Lacer (Kai)]: My eyebrows! 01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:41.302 [Lacer (Kai)]: My eyebrows! 01:08:41.342 --> 01:08:42.343 [Riv (DM)]: Make a deck saving throw. 01:08:51.908 --> 01:08:52.589 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, very good. 01:08:53.169 --> 01:08:56.572 [Riv (DM)]: You're able to just back out of the way and you take three points of fire damage. 01:09:00.596 --> 01:09:02.218 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What other colours did you say there were? 01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:03.439 [Riv (DM)]: Purple. 01:09:03.499 --> 01:09:06.262 [Riv (DM)]: There are purples, greens, reds and blue. 01:09:08.204 --> 01:09:10.386 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, hold up, I need to do a concentration check. 01:09:11.326 --> 01:09:14.089 [Lacer (Kai)]: Has it been ten minutes since I've walked around this place? 01:09:14.570 --> 01:09:15.871 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, no, there's probably only a couple. 01:09:16.051 --> 01:09:17.352 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, no, you can still do it, yep. 01:09:19.835 --> 01:09:20.295 [Riv (DM)]: Need a ten. 01:09:24.832 --> 01:09:26.934 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Nice. 01:09:26.954 --> 01:09:31.899 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Uh, is there more of one color than another, or is it all pretty... Eh, it's all mixed around, though. 01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:32.199 [Riv (DM)]: Mufti. 01:09:32.219 --> 01:09:33.460 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's all mixed around. 01:09:38.425 --> 01:09:42.449 [Lacer (Kai)]: That sounds like a violent explosion waiting to happen. 01:09:42.469 --> 01:09:45.452 [Lacer (Kai)]: Actually, can I do a, what's it called, check now? 01:09:45.472 --> 01:09:47.114 [Lacer (Kai)]: A perception check? 01:09:47.134 --> 01:09:50.497 [Lacer (Kai)]: Did we startle the mushroom people by sending off a bomb? 01:09:50.657 --> 01:09:51.278 [Lacer (Kai)]: A small bomb? 01:09:51.438 --> 01:09:51.858 [Lacer (Kai)]: A grenade? 01:09:52.619 --> 01:09:53.640 [Riv (DM)]: Check a perception check out. 01:09:54.447 --> 01:09:59.954 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The sound of the boom, I would have been sword and shield out already, ready for trouble. 01:10:00.735 --> 01:10:02.377 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, my bad guys, my bad. 01:10:03.599 --> 01:10:16.335 [Riv (DM)]: You look over your shoulder and the few little mushroom fellows that were nearby immediately look in your direction and you hear like this and you see them all darting off into the forest and disappear. 01:10:16.495 --> 01:10:17.557 [Riv (DM)]: You no longer see them anymore. 01:10:19.319 --> 01:10:22.463 [Riv (DM)]: Other than that though, wait a few moments. 01:10:24.603 --> 01:10:37.423 [Riv (DM)]: Nothing else seems to happen. 01:10:37.583 --> 01:10:42.971 [Lacer (Kai)]: With that perception check, do I see any footprints that have come through here recently? 01:10:43.532 --> 01:10:45.695 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or within, what is it, a month? 01:10:46.677 --> 01:10:47.438 [Lacer (Kai)]: A couple of weeks? 01:10:47.603 --> 01:10:52.090 [Riv (DM)]: You see small, small little fungus-like footprints? 01:10:52.550 --> 01:10:54.874 [Riv (DM)]: Whatever the footprints would look like. 01:10:55.014 --> 01:10:56.316 [Riv (DM)]: Mushroom footprint. 01:10:56.416 --> 01:10:58.419 [Riv (DM)]: Mushroom people footprints. 01:10:58.439 --> 01:10:59.681 [Riv (DM)]: Mushroom people footprints. 01:11:00.022 --> 01:11:01.304 [Riv (DM)]: Dark souls. 01:11:01.644 --> 01:11:05.049 [Riv (DM)]: There's the telltale sign of the spider feet. 01:11:05.089 --> 01:11:09.436 [Riv (DM)]: You know, lots of little small indentations of eight-legged creatures passing through. 01:11:09.456 --> 01:11:15.585 [Riv (DM)]: Other than that, you don't see any human or people footprints. 01:11:18.991 --> 01:11:20.013 [Riv (DM)]: Can we see where they went? 01:11:20.414 --> 01:11:21.436 [Riv (DM)]: Can we follow them? 01:11:21.456 --> 01:11:24.081 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, they just darted deeper into the forest, further into the cavern. 01:11:26.947 --> 01:11:31.355 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, only one thing for it, we're not gonna get anywhere near the entrance. 01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:33.740 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, true. 01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:37.928 [Lacer (Kai)]: Avoid green, don't burn red, work out blue and purple as we go. 01:11:38.195 --> 01:11:38.635 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, cool. 01:11:38.655 --> 01:11:40.057 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, Dondar, see those red ones? 01:11:40.217 --> 01:11:41.098 [Lacer (Kai)]: See these eyebrows? 01:11:41.178 --> 01:11:42.038 [Lacer (Kai)]: They're a bit singed. 01:11:42.659 --> 01:11:43.800 [Lacer (Kai)]: Fireball the red ones. 01:11:46.082 --> 01:11:53.188 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Only as a last resort, because this entire cavern will probably go back. 01:11:53.208 --> 01:11:54.429 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, alright. 01:11:54.449 --> 01:11:55.110 [Riv (DM)]: Pressing on through. 01:11:55.490 --> 01:11:59.414 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's kind of beautiful, honestly. 01:12:00.695 --> 01:12:03.678 [Riv (DM)]: You're actively trying to stay away from the red and the green ones? 01:12:05.819 --> 01:12:06.480 [Riv (DM)]: I take it? 01:12:06.882 --> 01:12:10.807 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: As long as we keep fire away from them, we should be fine, right? 01:12:11.248 --> 01:12:15.614 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, we're just staying away from the green ones as much as we can. 01:12:15.634 --> 01:12:17.216 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:12:17.376 --> 01:12:18.197 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 01:12:18.217 --> 01:12:22.483 [Riv (DM)]: So you need to push your way through some of the more dense areas. 01:12:23.184 --> 01:12:26.108 [Riv (DM)]: Over here, there's a thicket of green ones, which you'll have to avoid. 01:12:26.829 --> 01:12:32.557 [Riv (DM)]: So you can head over to the left and see it, and there's maybe some purple and red ones over there. 01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:36.602 [Riv (DM)]: Since you're only avoiding the green ones, 01:12:36.582 --> 01:12:46.019 [Riv (DM)]: This time, when you're pushing through past the red ones, first person who goes near them, I need to make a constitution saving throw. 01:12:47.462 --> 01:12:51.910 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, so who would that be, I guess? 01:12:52.090 --> 01:12:53.874 [Riv (DM)]: Who do you think would be leading the charge? 01:12:56.438 --> 01:12:57.761 [Riv (DM)]: I should have asked, sorry. 01:12:57.921 --> 01:12:58.422 [Riv (DM)]: That's my bad. 01:13:03.599 --> 01:13:04.501 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, you do it for us. 01:13:04.642 --> 01:13:06.867 [Riv (DM)]: You're the most inquisitive person at the moment, I'd imagine. 01:13:07.389 --> 01:13:07.810 [Lacer (Kai)]: Go for it, man. 01:13:07.830 --> 01:13:08.351 [Lacer (Kai)]: Chuck us. 01:13:08.692 --> 01:13:09.354 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's fine. 01:13:09.454 --> 01:13:09.895 [Lacer (Kai)]: Saving throw? 01:13:10.176 --> 01:13:10.637 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's fine. 01:13:10.677 --> 01:13:11.419 [Riv (DM)]: Nothing's gonna happen. 01:13:11.599 --> 01:13:12.903 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, constitution saving throw. 01:13:13.464 --> 01:13:14.928 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I'll be fine. 01:13:14.948 --> 01:13:16.852 [Lacer (Kai)]: I won't, I'm not fine. 01:13:16.873 --> 01:13:20.241 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm definitely not fine. 01:13:20.221 --> 01:13:21.923 [Lacer (Kai)]: Take a big whiff. 01:13:21.943 --> 01:13:28.949 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you're getting right past and there's a couple bunched up and you have to almost turn sideways to get through them and you knock into it and a big cloud of spores go into your face. 01:13:29.549 --> 01:13:44.403 [Riv (DM)]: As you're turning sideways and you look back at your friends, they're all looking at you and you see their faces are kind of like quite stern and almost angry looking and you see like horns starting to come out of their foreheads, their eyes turn red and evil, their teeth become pointed. 01:13:45.003 --> 01:13:46.965 [Riv (DM)]: Make a wisdom saving throw for me. 01:13:47.546 --> 01:13:50.228 [Riv (DM)]: Again, easy, it's no problem. 01:13:50.208 --> 01:13:51.790 [Riv (DM)]: Nothing's gonna happen, don't worry about it. 01:13:53.352 --> 01:13:54.855 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm hallucinating. 01:13:54.875 --> 01:13:56.597 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you're fine, you're fine. 01:13:56.837 --> 01:13:57.438 [Riv (DM)]: Kai's smart. 01:13:57.518 --> 01:14:04.048 [Riv (DM)]: You've had some hallucinogenic something into your system and your allies are all looking demonic. 01:14:04.108 --> 01:14:09.195 [Lacer (Kai)]: To be fair, hallucinogens are sort of a poison, you know, right? 01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:17.907 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe, I don't know, I would consider this not a poison, it's more of a magical effect, but either way, you're fine, you're fine. 01:14:17.947 --> 01:14:28.777 [Riv (DM)]: It just, it's a little bit disconcerting to see your allies all become kind of somewhat monstrous, but Kai's, he's wise enough to know that it's just an effect of the mushroom, shake it off. 01:14:29.717 --> 01:14:32.200 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I say this, now that I've experienced it firsthand? 01:14:32.440 --> 01:14:32.640 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:14:32.780 --> 01:14:34.162 [Lacer (Kai)]: Guys, you guys look really funny. 01:14:34.182 --> 01:14:36.904 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm hallucinating. 01:14:36.884 --> 01:14:40.232 [Lacer (Kai)]: Beware the red ones because you guys all look fucked up to me right now. 01:14:43.239 --> 01:14:44.221 [Lacer (Kai)]: You look pretty shit yourself. 01:14:44.883 --> 01:14:46.125 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I know. 01:14:46.145 --> 01:14:46.627 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can you see?

01:15:38.273 --> 01:15:39.214 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, give it a wash. 01:15:40.035 --> 01:15:41.417 [Riv (DM)]: It'll pass in about a minute. 01:15:42.781 --> 01:15:45.192 [Riv (DM)]: So as I was saying, as you were sort of passing on through. 01:15:45.956 --> 01:15:48.910 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What do those little mushroom guys look like with your... 01:15:50.459 --> 01:15:52.100 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, what do they look like? 01:15:52.561 --> 01:15:55.103 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do they look like crazy beasts or whatever? 01:15:55.423 --> 01:15:57.765 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, they're pretty trippy. 01:15:57.805 --> 01:15:59.487 [Riv (DM)]: Their feet become mushroom caps. 01:16:00.148 --> 01:16:03.170 [Riv (DM)]: Their heads grow like an entire forest. 01:16:03.490 --> 01:16:05.792 [Riv (DM)]: An entire forest is growing on top of their mushroom cap heads. 01:16:06.193 --> 01:16:13.199 [Riv (DM)]: Their eyes, which were before just these gentle little pale grey dots, have now become these big burning red lasers aiming in your direction. 01:16:13.759 --> 01:16:18.964 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, a bit trippy, but after not too long, your vision starts to return to normal. 01:16:19.822 --> 01:16:20.263 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wow. 01:16:20.323 --> 01:16:21.625 [Lacer (Kai)]: This stuff is amazing. 01:16:25.732 --> 01:16:25.832 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:16:25.852 --> 01:16:26.834 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:16:28.697 --> 01:16:29.278 [Riv (DM)]: What are we doing? 01:16:29.298 --> 01:16:34.066 [Riv (DM)]: Are we going to just keep on pressing through or did you guys want to do anything? 01:16:34.086 --> 01:16:35.689 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Try and communicate with them or?

01:49:48.853 --> 01:49:50.855 [Lacer (Kai)]: In relation to where we're standing. 01:49:50.955 --> 01:49:55.920 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, there was one main exit out of the forest and that's what they were pointing to. 01:49:55.940 --> 01:50:00.184 [Riv (DM)]: And so you've entered this and carried on for a little while and now come to the branch. 01:50:03.944 --> 01:50:06.313 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 01:50:06.333 --> 01:50:08.361 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm just gonna speak out and save. 01:50:08.401 --> 01:50:13.903 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does anyone see any more web on one side versus the other? 01:50:19.925 --> 01:50:23.871 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm just gonna start walking down the left one. 01:50:23.991 --> 01:50:25.654 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright, cool. 01:50:27.217 --> 01:50:28.699 [Riv (DM)]: So, left one being... 01:50:29.741 --> 01:50:37.753 [Riv (DM)]: I guess what I'm asking is, like, there's the path that you're on at the moment, which kind of seems like the main tunnel, and there's a branching. 01:50:37.854 --> 01:50:40.818 [Riv (DM)]: Are you gonna hit up the branch one, or are you gonna carry on down the main one? 01:50:42.842 --> 01:50:46.788 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, so there's a smaller tunnel, a branching tunnel, versus the main tunnel. 01:50:47.168 --> 01:50:47.569 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:50:48.983 --> 01:50:51.928 [JC (Ryo)]: Can I have a look, see if one looks less trouble than the other? 01:50:53.049 --> 01:50:53.350 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah. 01:50:53.410 --> 01:50:54.091 [Riv (DM)]: Rural Survival. 01:51:05.368 --> 01:51:06.971 [Riv (DM)]: Mmm, um, yeah. 01:51:06.991 --> 01:51:07.812 [Riv (DM)]: Cave stuff, man. 01:51:08.654 --> 01:51:10.236 [Riv (DM)]: Tough to tell, especially with spiders, right? 01:51:10.256 --> 01:51:12.139 [Riv (DM)]: They're probably on the walls and the ceilings. 01:51:19.966 --> 01:51:29.424 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yep, if the branch is on the left in your pre-planned stuff, we go in the branch. 01:51:29.544 --> 01:51:30.726 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If not, then we go in the main. 01:51:33.071 --> 01:51:35.034 [Riv (DM)]: Either way, plan for both. 01:51:36.157 --> 01:51:37.900 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: All roads lead to pre-plan. 01:51:41.286 --> 01:51:41.687 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:51:44.637 --> 01:51:47.423 [Riv (DM)]: You follow the branching path, I guess. 01:51:47.884 --> 01:51:48.305 [Riv (DM)]: All good. 01:51:50.269 --> 01:51:53.796 [Riv (DM)]: You come to... 01:51:54.718 --> 01:51:56.141 [Riv (DM)]: Eventually I have to follow on for a little while. 01:51:56.642 --> 01:52:00.790 [Riv (DM)]: Let me crack open the thing. 01:52:03.402 --> 01:52:06.327 [Riv (DM)]: The tunnel widens out again eventually into another chamber. 01:52:07.008 --> 01:52:15.764 [Riv (DM)]: This time you're standing on the edge of a vast cavern, a chasm that just seems to drop, you know, as far as the eye can see below you. 01:52:16.745 --> 01:52:25.140 [Riv (DM)]: The other side of the chasm is about 40 feet over and there is a rocky ledge very similar to one that you're standing on on this side. 01:52:25.120 --> 01:52:32.428 [Riv (DM)]: You can hear sounds of dripping water coming down from somewhere up above and trickling all the way down into the chasm below. 01:52:32.448 --> 01:52:39.136 [Riv (DM)]: And there's a cold, cold draught coming up carrying with it a scent of damp stone and earth. 01:52:40.197 --> 01:52:41.899 [Riv (DM)]: Across the bridge is a... 01:52:42.099 --> 01:52:42.880 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, across the chasm... 01:52:42.900 --> 01:52:43.401 [Riv (DM)]: There's a bridge? 01:52:43.501 --> 01:52:44.041 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, there's a bridge. 01:52:44.181 --> 01:52:49.187 [Riv (DM)]: Across the chasm is a delicate looking bridge made of interwoven spider silk. 01:52:49.167 --> 01:52:54.035 [Riv (DM)]: It's shimmering faintly with the bioluminescent glow from nearby mushrooms. 01:52:55.016 --> 01:52:59.864 [Riv (DM)]: You can see the bridge sort of swaying gently, anchored to stalagmites on either side. 01:53:03.971 --> 01:53:04.251 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:53:07.857 --> 01:53:11.382 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I cut a blue mushroom? 01:53:11.523 --> 01:53:13.065 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is there any blue mushrooms around here? 01:53:14.885 --> 01:53:15.846 [Riv (DM)]: Um, no. 01:53:16.367 --> 01:53:18.250 [Riv (DM)]: They're a bit different now, I guess. 01:53:18.690 --> 01:53:19.531 [Riv (DM)]: Actually, you know what? 01:53:19.812 --> 01:53:20.913 [Riv (DM)]: Sure, you can find a blue mushroom. 01:53:20.993 --> 01:53:21.274 [Riv (DM)]: Why not? 01:53:22.035 --> 01:53:26.181 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just want to cut a small blue mushroom that's glowing and drop it into the chasm. 01:53:26.201 --> 01:53:26.902 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's all I want to do. 01:53:26.942 --> 01:53:27.583 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah? 01:53:28.103 --> 01:53:29.465 [Lacer (Kai)]: And see the glow drop. 01:53:30.026 --> 01:53:31.628 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it goes down and down. 01:53:31.868 --> 01:53:38.618 [Riv (DM)]: Eventually it bounces off a rock and tumbles a bit and the glow falls out of sight into the depths beneath. 01:53:41.322 --> 01:53:41.822 [Riv (DM)]: It is deep. 01:53:42.343 --> 01:53:42.623 [Riv (DM)]: It is deep. 01:53:42.643 --> 01:53:43.845 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, it goes down and down. 01:53:44.602 --> 01:53:45.843 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How wide is the bridge? 01:53:45.863 --> 01:53:47.045 [Riv (DM)]: 40 feet. 01:53:47.065 --> 01:53:49.327 [Riv (DM)]: 40 feet? 01:53:49.587 --> 01:53:50.008 [Riv (DM)]: Jesus. 01:53:52.190 --> 01:53:54.432 [Riv (DM)]: Wait, the bridge is 40 feet wide? 01:53:54.653 --> 01:53:55.273 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, sorry, sorry. 01:53:55.454 --> 01:53:57.456 [Riv (DM)]: Across the chasm is 40 feet, also. 01:53:57.796 --> 01:53:59.418 [Riv (DM)]: The bridge itself is 15 wide. 01:54:00.959 --> 01:54:03.903 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay. 01:54:03.923 --> 01:54:05.424 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Bridge made out of spider web. 01:54:06.666 --> 01:54:10.309 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Does there appear to be any web going where we can't see it? 01:54:11.270 --> 01:54:12.752 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Where a spider could be waiting? 01:54:15.736 --> 01:54:20.381 [Riv (DM)]: Do you mean like up into the ceiling or something like that or down below? 01:54:20.441 --> 01:54:25.065 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, spiders generally sit on their webs and wait for movement. 01:54:25.606 --> 01:54:26.947 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is there any indication of that? 01:54:27.468 --> 01:54:29.429 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, roll a position check for me. 01:54:36.637 --> 01:54:37.357 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm gonna help you. 01:54:39.940 --> 01:54:42.182 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You said that way too late. 01:54:43.968 --> 01:54:44.429 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Only heaven. 01:54:44.769 --> 01:54:45.430 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Roll with advantage. 01:54:45.470 --> 01:54:45.771 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Roll again. 01:54:47.554 --> 01:54:48.155 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Just one more. 01:54:48.275 --> 01:54:48.976 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Not with advantage. 01:54:51.240 --> 01:54:52.221 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You said that too late! 01:54:52.882 --> 01:54:53.423 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: For fuck's sake! 01:54:54.685 --> 01:54:59.633 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If you get advantage and you roll one, you just roll one more, because otherwise now you're rolling three. 01:55:00.554 --> 01:55:01.556 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: So roll once more. 01:55:03.259 --> 01:55:04.260 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I can roll four. 01:55:05.482 --> 01:55:07.225 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Should I speak of disadvantage now? 01:55:10.715 --> 01:55:13.198 [Lacer (Kai)]: It just gets better and better. 01:55:15.521 --> 01:55:17.784 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't appear to be any spiders out on the bridge. 01:55:18.866 --> 01:55:24.854 [Riv (DM)]: Looking around... Just mushrooms, glowing stuff. 01:55:25.875 --> 01:55:30.241 [Riv (DM)]: I guess I would say you do see bits of debris falling from the ceiling above every now and then. 01:55:30.301 --> 01:55:36.790 [Riv (DM)]: Just like a tiny bit of stone will just fall off, clatter down into the cavern beneath. 01:55:39.554 --> 01:55:46.021 [Lacer (Kai)]: So the bridge that we're seeing right now, where we're at, the bridge is completely made of spiders web? 01:55:46.041 --> 01:55:46.141 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:55:46.882 --> 01:55:49.265 [Riv (DM)]: It looks like a very intentionally made bridge of spider web. 01:55:50.446 --> 01:55:51.547 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Alright. 01:55:51.568 --> 01:55:52.549 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can we hear anything? 01:55:55.712 --> 01:56:02.059 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: In terms of like anything above us or vibrations or? 01:56:02.079 --> 01:56:04.482 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, with your perception check, I would say no. 01:56:05.238 --> 01:56:10.810 [Riv (DM)]: Just, you hear the sound of, you know, cave sounds every now and then, the dripping of water like I mentioned before. 01:56:11.371 --> 01:56:21.694 [Riv (DM)]: When there's these little bits of debris like, you know, stone popping off the end of a stalagmite or something like that, or just from the cave ceiling itself, you hear that clatter a little bit as it falls down into the chasm. 01:56:23.108 --> 01:56:44.348 [Lacer (Kai)]: At this stage, I say, when I was living in the wilds, I used to look at spiders and their webs, and I noticed that when a bug got trapped on the web, it would alert the spider to prey, and they'd run towards them once they got triggered, they got stuck on the web. 01:56:45.348 --> 01:56:51.394 [Lacer (Kai)]: If this is what I think it is, it could well mean there's something, this could be a trap. 01:56:54.631 --> 01:56:58.878 [Lacer (Kai)]: 100% something's gonna happen when we step on the bridge. 01:57:00.200 --> 01:57:01.322 [Lacer (Kai)]: We don't have to step on the bridge. 01:57:01.382 --> 01:57:07.732 [Lacer (Kai)]: How about, I'm gonna ask everybody, do you want me to just touch the web and pretend to be stuck? 01:57:07.872 --> 01:57:12.340 [Lacer (Kai)]: I want to actually just touch it with one finger, see if the web sticks to my finger. 01:57:14.743 --> 01:57:15.925 [Riv (DM)]: It feels a bit sticky, yeah. 01:57:15.945 --> 01:57:19.491 [Riv (DM)]: You imagine if you were trying to walk on it, it would be tough to walk on. 01:57:21.918 --> 01:57:23.581 [Riv (DM)]: Do you just touch it with one finger? 01:57:23.601 --> 01:57:24.422 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, one finger. 01:57:24.442 --> 01:57:25.164 [Lacer (Kai)]: Once. 01:57:25.845 --> 01:57:31.875 [Lacer (Kai)]: So it sticks to my finger like, well, like sort of like glue-ish, but not strong glue. 01:57:32.756 --> 01:57:37.384 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's not going to like, you're not going to be completely restrained by it, if that's what you mean. 01:57:37.404 --> 01:57:40.810 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, it's definitely going to be, shall we say, difficult terrain to walk across. 01:57:44.837 --> 01:57:45.478 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 01:57:48.597 --> 01:57:49.378 [Lacer (Kai)]: What do you want to do? 01:57:50.359 --> 01:57:52.502 [Lacer (Kai)]: If we walk across, this is going to take us a little bit. 01:57:53.523 --> 01:57:57.607 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or we can try and pretend to be stuck and try and bait something out. 01:58:00.010 --> 01:58:01.852 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Or we could go back to the main tunnel. 01:58:04.235 --> 01:58:05.156 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're looking for spiders. 01:58:06.358 --> 01:58:07.219 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: This is made of web. 01:58:08.340 --> 01:58:09.882 [JC (Ryo)]: There's still... 01:58:09.902 --> 01:58:10.903 [JC (Ryo)]: I can't see the side, right? 01:58:12.705 --> 01:58:12.785 [JC (Ryo)]: Yep. 01:58:12.805 --> 01:58:14.046 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Are we looking for spiders? 01:58:14.347 --> 01:58:15.448 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Are we looking for gold? 01:58:17.470 --> 01:58:23.315 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're looking for spiders, the other 20 or so missing people, and wondering where all the golden weapons have disappeared to. 01:58:24.056 --> 01:58:27.619 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, that's... 01:58:27.639 --> 01:58:36.367 [JC (Ryo)]: Cool, so what I was thinking of doing before, we're going to tie this off to one end, command word it to not, and tell it to tie itself off to the other side. 01:58:37.908 --> 01:58:39.409 [JC (Ryo)]: You guys can cross on that, I'm crossing on this. 01:58:43.173 --> 01:58:45.975 [JC (Ryo)]: Anyone that wants to join me is more than welcome to. 01:58:48.605 --> 01:59:16.030 [Riv (DM)]: Okay the yeah easily enough you can push it off to the side so connect it up between two different selling lights um 50 feet after it's been knotted oh it's going to be tight um i think i thought it was 40 feet yeah so as you you know and then plus a little bit of extra for um winding it around a selling line um 01:59:17.950 --> 01:59:22.755 [Riv (DM)]: I think if you had it right beside the bridge itself, you'd be okay. 01:59:23.496 --> 01:59:30.184 [Riv (DM)]: And then I imagine you probably want to have it above a little bit so that you can try and be, you know, not feet dangling and touching the bridge. 01:59:32.467 --> 01:59:37.032 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh yeah, I'm not touching the bridge at all, even if I have to find somewhere slightly to the side. 01:59:37.252 --> 01:59:38.033 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:59:38.053 --> 01:59:38.754 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, cool. 01:59:38.774 --> 01:59:39.254 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, no problem. 01:59:39.314 --> 01:59:40.115 [Riv (DM)]: I think that will work fine. 01:59:40.316 --> 01:59:47.704 [Riv (DM)]: So if you wanted to scoot across there, we just need some strength checks with Adarnage. 01:59:49.490 --> 01:59:52.052 [JC (Ryo)]: Not acrobatic checks? 01:59:52.073 --> 01:59:54.415 [Riv (DM)]: For climbing, I think it's usually Strength, right? 01:59:55.436 --> 01:59:57.778 [Lacer (Kai)]: Unless you're doing cartwheels and stuff. 01:59:59.620 --> 02:00:00.641 [Lacer (Kai)]: Strength with Athletics. 02:00:00.661 --> 02:00:03.684 [Lacer (Kai)]: Strength with Athletics sounds good. 02:00:03.704 --> 02:00:03.964 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh wait. 02:00:04.144 --> 02:00:05.425 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's why I didn't want Strength. 02:00:05.486 --> 02:00:07.487 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is this Advantage with Athletics?

02:04:35.459 --> 02:04:38.226 [Riv (DM)]: Just the pool, yeah. 02:04:38.808 --> 02:04:40.131 [Riv (DM)]: Roll a possession check for me. 02:04:49.797 --> 02:05:00.626 [Riv (DM)]: You can see that the sides of the pool look like there is sort of disturbed earth, like someone or something has sat here before. 02:05:00.907 --> 02:05:02.988 [Riv (DM)]: It's almost like it's been brushed clear. 02:05:06.131 --> 02:05:09.234 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, other than that, no other features. 02:05:14.899 --> 02:05:18.602 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can I cast Ritual Attack Magic?

02:05:30.228 --> 02:05:30.629 [Lacer (Kai)]: Disease? 02:05:31.992 --> 02:05:33.034 [Riv (DM)]: Poison and disease did you say? 02:05:33.740 --> 02:05:34.060 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 02:05:34.481 --> 02:05:36.203 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:05:36.223 --> 02:05:36.383 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:05:36.403 --> 02:05:37.445 [Riv (DM)]: No poison and disease in here. 02:05:38.646 --> 02:05:46.656 [Riv (DM)]: Um, with Detect Magic, you feel a strong, very confusing magic emanating from the pool itself. 02:05:46.996 --> 02:05:50.480 [Riv (DM)]: The whole pool appears to be giving off radiant magic. 02:05:51.462 --> 02:05:52.923 [Riv (DM)]: Uh, sorry, radiating magic. 02:05:52.943 --> 02:05:53.784 [Riv (DM)]: It's not radiant. 02:05:54.445 --> 02:06:02.515 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah, um, you, and the strange thing, you're unsure, um, hmm. 02:06:02.714 --> 02:06:07.560 [Riv (DM)]: I would say that it's giving off a divination style magic. 02:06:15.409 --> 02:06:19.274 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: In that time, eyes would have worn off, so I'll use a quicken candle and a lighter torch. 02:06:21.616 --> 02:06:21.937 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Cool. 02:06:21.957 --> 02:06:22.537 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Get out of the way. 02:06:24.820 --> 02:06:26.142 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll look at the party. 02:06:26.702 --> 02:06:28.304 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Look to the side, back at the party. 02:06:30.126 --> 02:06:30.747 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Pick up a rock. 02:06:33.241 --> 02:06:34.823 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How wide across is the pool?

02:06:43.253 --> 02:06:44.214 [Riv (DM)]: Very much foreboding. 02:06:44.615 --> 02:06:45.576 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: From a distance. 02:06:45.596 --> 02:06:47.158 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You don't need to be close to get in there. 02:06:47.538 --> 02:06:47.999 [Riv (DM)]: Sure, yeah. 02:06:48.439 --> 02:06:53.405 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably about 10, 20 back depending on how much room I've got. 02:06:53.425 --> 02:06:53.506 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:06:53.526 --> 02:06:53.706 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:06:53.746 --> 02:06:55.608 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't you just roll something for me? 02:06:55.648 --> 02:06:58.592 [Riv (DM)]: Roll your dex check for a ranged weapon attack or something. 02:06:59.212 --> 02:07:00.354 [Riv (DM)]: See how many skips you get. 02:07:00.434 --> 02:07:01.375 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:07:06.620 --> 02:07:29.877 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, the first bounce is on the cave floor itself and then it bounces up into the air and it hits the water, bounces once again and then falls beneath the surface and you can see the ripple of waves just spread out from where it impacted into the water and spread across the 02:07:29.857 --> 02:07:31.238 [Riv (DM)]: Bounce back and forth off the edge. 02:07:31.659 --> 02:07:40.648 [Riv (DM)]: And this kind of makes the light reflections of the candle even more, I guess, wild and reflective across the walls and the ceiling. 02:07:43.131 --> 02:07:44.212 [Riv (DM)]: But nothing else seems to happen. 02:07:51.820 --> 02:07:52.921 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Who wants to go for a swim? 02:07:58.126 --> 02:07:59.087 [JC (Ryo)]: You're joking, right? 02:07:59.692 --> 02:08:00.012 [JC (Ryo)]: Yes. 02:08:05.440 --> 02:08:06.181 [JC (Ryo)]: Does it look deep? 02:08:08.383 --> 02:08:08.944 [Riv (DM)]: Uh, tough to tell. 02:08:09.165 --> 02:08:11.147 [Riv (DM)]: I think from where you're standing you'd have to get a bit closer. 02:08:13.711 --> 02:08:21.861 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can I touch it? 02:08:24.024 --> 02:08:24.204 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:08:25.486 --> 02:08:26.548 [Riv (DM)]: You totally can, yeah. 02:08:26.568 --> 02:08:26.988 [Riv (DM)]: Would you like to? 02:08:28.190 --> 02:08:28.450 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:08:29.290 --> 02:08:29.691 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:08:30.893 --> 02:08:32.736 [Riv (DM)]: Roll a save against death. 02:08:32.796 --> 02:08:33.317 [Riv (DM)]: No, I'm joking. 02:08:33.838 --> 02:08:36.121 [Riv (DM)]: It's very, very cold. 02:08:36.342 --> 02:08:36.923 [Riv (DM)]: Icy cold. 02:08:37.364 --> 02:08:40.869 [Riv (DM)]: And as you get up close to it, you can see it's not that deep either. 02:08:41.210 --> 02:08:44.295 [Riv (DM)]: It's maybe a foot or two deep at the deepest point. 02:08:45.237 --> 02:08:48.362 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, I thought it was like... okay. 02:08:48.663 --> 02:08:50.746 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's very, very wide pool, but quite shallow. 02:08:51.227 --> 02:08:59.480 [Riv (DM)]: You reach forward and you sort of touch it, and where your finger touches the water, ripples spread out again, and you see your reflection very, very clearly looking back at you. 02:09:00.501 --> 02:09:06.290 [Riv (DM)]: As the ripples start to die down and you see yourself become more clear, roll a perception check for me. 02:09:15.565 --> 02:09:15.885 [Riv (DM)]: Mmm. 02:09:16.287 --> 02:09:18.690 [Riv (DM)]: You see yourself looking back at you. 02:09:21.073 --> 02:09:24.897 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can I cast Identify while I'm touching it? 02:09:27.861 --> 02:09:28.822 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you can. 02:09:29.743 --> 02:09:34.429 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:09:34.449 --> 02:09:34.849 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:09:35.851 --> 02:09:37.533 [Riv (DM)]: An object that you can touch. 02:09:39.595 --> 02:09:41.157 [Riv (DM)]: So, cool. 02:09:41.197 --> 02:09:44.421 [Riv (DM)]: So this is going to take another 10 minutes, I assume, unless you burn a spell slot? 02:09:45.734 --> 02:09:47.256 [Riv (DM)]: Well, it's just casting time one minute. 02:09:48.197 --> 02:09:49.960 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: For a ritual, at least. 02:09:49.980 --> 02:09:52.063 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: But your ritual casting is tense. 02:09:52.083 --> 02:09:52.183 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:09:52.203 --> 02:09:53.404 [Lacer (Kai)]: Unless you use a spell slot. 02:09:54.846 --> 02:09:58.431 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, it doesn't say I can ritual cast it. 02:09:59.372 --> 02:10:00.674 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, it does, sorry. 02:10:00.694 --> 02:10:01.675 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: But it doesn't say how long. 02:10:03.678 --> 02:10:05.521 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: But yes, I've burnt a spell slot already. 02:10:07.704 --> 02:10:08.044 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 02:10:08.064 --> 02:10:09.206 [Riv (DM)]: So also, you're doing it instantly?

02:21:10.167 --> 02:21:10.487 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 02:21:11.089 --> 02:21:12.010 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I guess so. 02:21:12.030 --> 02:21:12.732 [Lacer (Kai)]: I guess so. 02:21:12.752 --> 02:21:18.442 [Riv (DM)]: Um, okay. 02:21:20.346 --> 02:21:21.769 [Riv (DM)]: It is icy cold. 02:21:22.891 --> 02:21:26.157 [Riv (DM)]: Um, and you need to make a wisdom saving throw. 02:21:26.197 --> 02:21:29.323 [Riv (DM)]: Fuckin' Lacer. 02:21:32.003 --> 02:21:35.626 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hey, wisdom is alright, I think. 02:21:35.646 --> 02:21:37.708 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, just alright. 02:21:38.569 --> 02:21:51.881 [Riv (DM)]: You feel in your mind just immediate flashes of images from times you don't recall ever seeing, places you've never seen before just flashing instantaneously throughout your mind. 02:21:51.901 --> 02:22:01.690 [Riv (DM)]: It becomes overwhelming, it becomes painful, and you can almost feel your mind starting to break and crack before you're able to shake your head and pull out of it. 02:22:04.049 --> 02:22:05.812 [Lacer (Kai)]: That was a bad idea. 02:22:11.261 --> 02:22:14.146 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, do not drink it unless you want a brain freeze. 02:22:17.030 --> 02:22:19.494 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Maybe you should freeze it and destroy it forever. 02:22:24.443 --> 02:22:30.833 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I have a feeling that might provoke responses from old, old things. 02:22:32.939 --> 02:22:34.161 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What a shame that would be. 02:22:41.871 --> 02:22:42.192 [JC (Ryo)]: Alrighty. 02:22:42.933 --> 02:22:45.596 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, anyone else wanna check out the water? 02:22:45.937 --> 02:22:57.833 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have a semi-brain freeze now, so... Well, I've already failed my perception on it, so it's probably not a good idea to try again. 02:23:02.268 --> 02:23:04.931 [JC (Ryo)]: I feel like Rayu knows better than the fuck around with this water. 02:23:08.795 --> 02:23:10.317 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:23:10.337 --> 02:23:10.557 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:23:12.039 --> 02:23:12.439 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:23:12.459 --> 02:23:12.780 [Riv (DM)]: That's it. 02:23:12.900 --> 02:23:14.181 [Riv (DM)]: That is the pool of reflection. 02:23:15.683 --> 02:23:18.866 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is there any exits beyond the one that we came from here? 02:23:18.886 --> 02:23:20.929 [Riv (DM)]: Just the crevice up in the ceiling that I mentioned. 02:23:20.969 --> 02:23:25.274 [Riv (DM)]: It would be a bit of a struggle to get up to it, but yeah. 02:23:25.294 --> 02:23:26.074 [Riv (DM)]: Other than that, no. 02:23:26.114 --> 02:23:27.516 [Riv (DM)]: Just the main one that you came into. 02:23:28.289 --> 02:23:31.092 [Lacer (Kai)]: There was no magical ping coming from there, right? 02:23:31.573 --> 02:23:32.053 [Lacer (Kai)]: Nah. 02:23:32.114 --> 02:23:32.654 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dondar? 02:23:32.674 --> 02:23:33.195 [Lacer (Kai)]: No. 02:23:36.158 --> 02:23:37.580 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, let's turn back. 02:23:37.900 --> 02:23:43.667 [Riv (DM)]: Just in case you guys didn't want to come in the main entrance, there was an alternate entrance sort of a thing. 02:23:45.970 --> 02:23:47.552 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, we can turn around and head back. 02:23:49.234 --> 02:23:52.117 [Riv (DM)]: Back across the bridge, assume you want to do the same thing with the rope? 02:23:55.141 --> 02:23:56.963 [JC (Ryo)]: Was there no other path? 02:23:58.158 --> 02:24:00.823 [JC (Ryo)]: No, it was a... DM, yeah. 02:24:02.747 --> 02:24:05.071 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, same thing with the rope. 02:24:05.853 --> 02:24:06.093 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:24:06.815 --> 02:24:07.256 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, cool, cool. 02:24:07.516 --> 02:24:08.117 [Riv (DM)]: Easy peasy then. 02:24:11.363 --> 02:24:13.247 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't we jump back over here then? 02:24:15.826 --> 02:24:17.227 [Riv (DM)]: That was a shame to waste a map. 02:24:17.868 --> 02:24:18.368 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, it's all good. 02:24:18.428 --> 02:24:18.969 [Riv (DM)]: I like making them. 02:24:19.910 --> 02:24:23.674 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright, we'll be in a weird cavern at some point in the future. 02:24:24.074 --> 02:24:25.195 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 02:24:25.215 --> 02:24:28.738 [JC (Ryo)]: I was expecting that room to be a fight scene anyway. 02:24:30.360 --> 02:24:30.620 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:24:31.301 --> 02:24:31.781 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially. 02:24:32.002 --> 02:24:32.522 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially. 02:24:36.926 --> 02:24:38.708 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does anyone want to light the bridge on fire? 02:24:39.068 --> 02:24:42.231 [Lacer (Kai)]: The spider web? 02:24:42.972 --> 02:24:43.993 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's a good question. 02:24:45.728 --> 02:24:56.341 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There is also the interesting question is why would spiders, innocent creatures with no intelligence, be visiting a well of answers and stealing gold and weapons? 02:24:58.824 --> 02:25:02.709 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I am sus as fuck. 02:25:02.729 --> 02:25:04.151 [Lacer (Kai)]: You said that out loud, right? 02:25:04.692 --> 02:25:06.094 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yes, I am saying it out loud. 02:25:06.875 --> 02:25:07.916 [JC (Ryo)]: Do you want to go back to the pool? 02:25:09.037 --> 02:25:09.898 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No, no. 02:25:10.359 --> 02:25:11.320 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Drop some more blood. 02:25:11.941 --> 02:25:13.643 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Nope, I had bigger questions. 02:25:14.804 --> 02:25:16.205 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I have enough suspicions. 02:25:17.307 --> 02:25:17.567 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:25:19.249 --> 02:25:19.789 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:25:20.090 --> 02:25:22.652 [Riv (DM)]: We can get back to the main tunnel and we can carry on. 02:25:22.812 --> 02:25:23.894 [Riv (DM)]: Are we going stealthily? 02:25:23.934 --> 02:25:28.418 [Lacer (Kai)]: Has passed without trace or not? 02:25:28.559 --> 02:25:30.120 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think so, no. 02:25:30.160 --> 02:25:41.352 [Riv (DM)]: I'd say you've probably been proceeding cautiously for maybe half an hour to 45 minutes, so we're coming up on the end, but still got a little bit left, so why don't we get stealth saves? 02:25:42.530 --> 02:25:45.835 [Riv (DM)]: Self-checks, rather. 02:26:01.939 --> 02:26:03.701 [JC (Ryo)]: How does Kiwi have advantage on that? 02:26:05.544 --> 02:26:06.285 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: He's got boots. 02:26:06.505 --> 02:26:06.906 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Sneaky boots. 02:26:06.946 --> 02:26:09.590 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have elven kind boots. 02:26:10.772 --> 02:26:11.052 [Unmatched Speaker]: Cool. 02:26:13.192 --> 02:26:14.214 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, excellent. 02:26:15.437 --> 02:26:16.539 [Riv (DM)]: Excellent, very good. 02:26:17.822 --> 02:26:18.703 [Riv (DM)]: You can head down the tunnel. 02:26:19.866 --> 02:26:20.367 [Riv (DM)]: No sound. 02:26:20.627 --> 02:26:21.189 [Riv (DM)]: The... 02:26:23.894 --> 02:26:25.478 [Riv (DM)]: There have been some webs. 02:26:26.440 --> 02:26:30.508 [Riv (DM)]: Basically everywhere we've been in the tunnel so far, there have been some. 02:26:31.332 --> 02:26:36.040 [Riv (DM)]: More or less, you know, in the forest they were mainly up around amongst the tops of the mushrooms. 02:26:36.601 --> 02:26:39.126 [Riv (DM)]: In the caves you would see them sometimes on the roof, sometimes on the floor. 02:26:39.186 --> 02:26:43.253 [Riv (DM)]: They start getting denser again now as you start coming down this way. 02:26:43.854 --> 02:26:50.246 [Riv (DM)]: It feels like you're coming towards a bit of a confluence of tunnels perhaps, more of a central area. 02:26:50.907 --> 02:26:52.750 [Riv (DM)]: And sure enough, after not too long, 02:26:54.282 --> 02:27:02.321 [Riv (DM)]: You see the telltale signs of the caverns starting to open up a bit and of light starting to be illuminating down the passageway. 02:27:02.942 --> 02:27:09.878 [Riv (DM)]: As you can see, ahead of you there's a chamber that is glowing, much the same as some others have. 02:27:12.018 --> 02:27:18.226 [Riv (DM)]: As you get close enough and you're able to look I will say that you can peek around pretty easily without needing to roll another stealth check. 02:27:18.927 --> 02:27:24.914 [Riv (DM)]: You can see that this is another fairly large chamber, maybe not quite as large as the forest but decent enough. 02:27:24.934 --> 02:27:33.966 [Riv (DM)]: It's got different levels of raised rock ledges kind of all array around the sides and there are stalagmites and stalactites as well as all the usual mushrooms glowing everywhere. 02:27:35.127 --> 02:27:39.072 [Riv (DM)]: But unlike the harsh sort of more natural chambers that you've seen so far, 02:27:39.052 --> 02:27:49.464 [Riv (DM)]: This cavern is adorned with an array of glittering treasures and delicate trinkets along the natural rock ledges and nestled in crevices here and there. 02:27:49.484 --> 02:27:53.329 [Riv (DM)]: You can see ornate goblets with jewels in them. 02:27:53.349 --> 02:27:55.331 [Riv (DM)]: You can see like finely crafted statues. 02:27:55.832 --> 02:27:58.615 [Riv (DM)]: There are little clockwork devices just hanging here and there. 02:27:59.376 --> 02:28:07.405 [Riv (DM)]: You can see gold coins and ingots scattered about seemingly at random but also with some interesting maybe intentionality. 02:28:07.385 --> 02:28:21.978 [Riv (DM)]: The polished surfaces of all of these little trinkets are glowing and catching the light and casting dancing reflections around the room, making it sort of like this big kaleidoscope of shifting and glittering colours. 02:28:22.959 --> 02:28:28.544 [Riv (DM)]: There are silken fabrics of exotic make, draped elegantly from some of the stalactites. 02:28:30.025 --> 02:28:35.130 [Riv (DM)]: Some of them have got scenes depicting far-off lands and forgotten memories. 02:28:35.110 --> 02:28:40.902 [Riv (DM)]: There are strings of pearls and gemstones woven around into the fabrics that were also shimmering. 02:28:40.922 --> 02:28:50.983 [Riv (DM)]: As you take in these surroundings, something else becomes immediately obvious and hard to miss. 02:28:51.003 --> 02:28:54.250 [Riv (DM)]: In the centre of the room, there is a large figure. 02:28:55.259 --> 02:28:55.640 [Riv (DM)]: Hanging. 02:28:56.140 --> 02:28:59.925 [Riv (DM)]: And you see it shift ever so slightly as you're standing here looking. 02:29:01.247 --> 02:29:05.293 [Riv (DM)]: Her legs are moving with a grace that sort of belies her immense size. 02:29:06.254 --> 02:29:09.398 [Riv (DM)]: A massive arachnid creature. 02:29:09.418 --> 02:29:12.723 [Riv (DM)]: 15, maybe 20 feet wide in size. 02:29:13.424 --> 02:29:15.647 [Riv (DM)]: Long, sharp legs. 02:29:16.252 --> 02:29:25.078 [Riv (DM)]: Where you would expect to see the monstrous eight-eyed face of a spider, instead you see a human torso connected to the body at the waist. 02:29:25.981 --> 02:29:27.245 [Riv (DM)]: She has long black hair. 02:29:27.927 --> 02:29:30.615 [Riv (DM)]: The length of the human part of her body 02:29:32.418 --> 02:29:34.380 [Riv (DM)]: And she has very pale white skin. 02:29:34.660 --> 02:29:41.908 [Riv (DM)]: Her arms are slender, fingers that end in sharp points, and from what you can see from this distance, her face is beautiful. 02:29:42.588 --> 02:29:43.349 [Riv (DM)]: Exceptionally so. 02:29:43.369 --> 02:29:46.833 [Riv (DM)]: Except it's something slightly off. 02:29:47.493 --> 02:29:51.658 [Riv (DM)]: Her smile, her mouth seems slightly too large for a face, and her eyes are too wide. 02:29:51.718 --> 02:29:54.200 [Riv (DM)]: There's an unsettling elegance to her. 02:29:55.101 --> 02:30:00.687 [Riv (DM)]: A blend of danger and beauty that is kind of captivating to look at. 02:30:01.848 --> 02:30:13.649 [Riv (DM)]: She's currently dangling and there is a medium-sized blue spider on the ground looking up at her, making chirping sounds. 02:30:15.492 --> 02:30:19.479 [Riv (DM)]: And you hear a faint voice sort of respond. 02:30:20.801 --> 02:30:21.182 [Riv (DM)]: How many? 02:30:21.843 --> 02:30:22.604 [Riv (DM)]: How many did we lose? 02:30:24.668 --> 02:30:25.830 [Riv (DM)]: Chirping sounds respond. 02:30:30.687 --> 02:30:31.368 [Riv (DM)]: Collect the bodies. 02:30:31.408 --> 02:30:33.731 [Riv (DM)]: Collect whatever you can and bring them back to the nursery. 02:30:34.872 --> 02:30:36.294 [Riv (DM)]: Just stay away from these intruders. 02:30:36.434 --> 02:30:37.515 [Riv (DM)]: I will deal with them myself. 02:30:38.457 --> 02:30:39.618 [Riv (DM)]: Don't want any more of you getting hurt. 02:30:41.300 --> 02:30:41.901 [Riv (DM)]: They always come. 02:30:41.961 --> 02:30:44.003 [Riv (DM)]: They always come for us no matter what we do. 02:30:45.265 --> 02:30:45.966 [Riv (DM)]: Go on, run along. 02:30:47.368 --> 02:30:48.869 [Riv (DM)]: I am sure they'll be here shortly anyway. 02:30:52.574 --> 02:30:53.455 [JC (Ryo)]: We all hear this? 02:30:54.093 --> 02:31:03.347 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, her voice seems to echo throughout the cavern and the blue spider turns and skitters away, enters one of these small cave halls on the side of the wall and disappears. 02:31:06.272 --> 02:31:10.819 [Riv (DM)]: She, um, drifts back up higher up into the ceiling and just dangles there. 02:31:17.950 --> 02:31:19.813 [Lacer (Kai)]: There ain't no way here. 02:31:20.047 --> 02:31:21.269 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I do a perception check? 02:31:21.749 --> 02:31:24.313 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is Val still carrying, are you still holding your torch? 02:31:25.454 --> 02:31:27.297 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 02:31:27.317 --> 02:31:44.680 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would like to see if there's any eight-eyed ones, if there's any reflections in the roof or whatever, the walls around us, reflecting off the lights from the gems and the flame. 02:31:44.700 --> 02:31:47.404 [Riv (DM)]: Cut out a little bit, but I assume you're saying you're looking for spiders? 02:31:47.654 --> 02:31:50.961 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I'm looking for the reflection from the eyes of spiders. 02:31:51.583 --> 02:31:51.683 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:31:51.703 --> 02:31:52.424 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, roll perception. 02:31:55.631 --> 02:31:56.213 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, incredible. 02:31:57.235 --> 02:32:02.466 [Riv (DM)]: As she told this blue spider to head off, you did see a few. 02:32:02.767 --> 02:32:04.210 [Riv (DM)]: There were a few others just sort of hanging about. 02:32:04.591 --> 02:32:07.317 [Riv (DM)]: They all disappeared up into the tunnels and left. 02:32:15.211 --> 02:32:18.014 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, I guess that's us right on time, darling. 02:32:20.316 --> 02:32:21.137 [Riv (DM)]: You say this as you walk out? 02:32:21.738 --> 02:32:21.958 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:32:22.418 --> 02:32:31.508 [Riv (DM)]: She, um, immediately drops to the floor, twists and turns to look at you and go, You were quicker than I was expecting. 02:32:34.191 --> 02:32:35.192 [Riv (DM)]: Well, what will it be then? 02:32:35.232 --> 02:32:37.314 [Riv (DM)]: Have you come to kill more of my children? 02:32:37.374 --> 02:32:39.096 [Riv (DM)]: Have you come to kill me? 02:32:39.116 --> 02:32:41.218 [Riv (DM)]: I have done nothing to you. 02:32:45.181 --> 02:32:49.147 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: To be honest, we were just looking for a lot of people that went missing. 02:32:52.112 --> 02:32:52.172 [Riv (DM)]: Oh. 02:32:52.192 --> 02:32:53.594 [Riv (DM)]: The miners I assume you're talking about. 02:32:54.415 --> 02:32:55.597 [Riv (DM)]: Yes, that's an unfortunate business. 02:32:56.939 --> 02:33:00.985 [Riv (DM)]: They stumbled into my home and attacked some of my children. 02:33:01.847 --> 02:33:02.748 [Riv (DM)]: We were defending ourselves. 02:33:05.012 --> 02:33:06.113 [Riv (DM)]: What would you do in my position? 02:33:07.896 --> 02:33:09.298 [Riv (DM)]: I assume you found most of them along the way. 02:33:09.338 --> 02:33:10.580 [Riv (DM)]: There are others scattered about. 02:33:12.023 --> 02:33:13.585 [Riv (DM)]: They were... food? 02:33:16.940 --> 02:33:18.085 [Lacer (Kai)]: I guess that's fair. 02:33:18.466 --> 02:33:25.937 [Lacer (Kai)]: They walked into your home without knowing you're entitled to defend your property. 02:33:28.229 --> 02:33:30.432 [Riv (DM)]: She just gets a little bit closer. 02:33:30.472 --> 02:33:35.700 [Riv (DM)]: Not super fast, not trying to make any sort of aggressive movements. 02:33:35.760 --> 02:33:38.143 [Riv (DM)]: And you can see now that she's on the ground and upright. 02:33:38.724 --> 02:33:39.926 [Riv (DM)]: Massive, right? 02:33:39.946 --> 02:33:45.654 [Riv (DM)]: Like her human torso itself is probably larger than one of you standing upright. 02:33:45.674 --> 02:33:48.078 [Riv (DM)]: Like it's, imagine a person, but just stretched out bigger. 02:33:48.899 --> 02:33:52.064 [Riv (DM)]: And very sharp eyes. 02:33:52.124 --> 02:33:53.806 [Riv (DM)]: She's very, she looks very clever. 02:33:56.310 --> 02:33:57.932 [Riv (DM)]: Looking at all of you, taking you all in. 02:34:00.950 --> 02:34:08.159 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm just going to say out loud, I do not want to fight you. 02:34:08.179 --> 02:34:10.142 [Riv (DM)]: If you don't want to fight me, then why else are you here? 02:34:12.525 --> 02:34:17.612 [Lacer (Kai)]: We came to seek what happened to the miners, and I guess we found our answer. 02:34:20.616 --> 02:34:20.956 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Indeed. 02:34:23.579 --> 02:34:26.123 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do you take much interest in the affairs of men above? 02:34:27.985 --> 02:34:28.446 [Riv (DM)]: Of course not. 02:34:29.968 --> 02:34:30.248 [Riv (DM)]: I... 02:34:31.814 --> 02:34:32.956 [Riv (DM)]: I guess you could say I'm trapped here. 02:34:34.898 --> 02:34:35.419 [Riv (DM)]: One way or another. 02:34:36.441 --> 02:34:37.622 [Riv (DM)]: It's a long story. 02:34:38.884 --> 02:34:40.066 [Riv (DM)]: The sun does not agree with me. 02:34:43.751 --> 02:34:45.534 [Riv (DM)]: I generally tend to keep to myself and my children. 02:34:47.456 --> 02:34:53.125 [Riv (DM)]: Although the mushroom people, they've been an interesting companions for the past so many years. 02:34:57.932 --> 02:34:58.973 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, they seem nice. 02:34:59.354 --> 02:35:01.737 [Lacer (Kai)]: They gave me some food. 02:35:01.936 --> 02:35:03.918 [Lacer (Kai)]: Blue mushrooms are really delicious. 02:35:06.341 --> 02:35:06.802 [Riv (DM)]: I couldn't say. 02:35:09.685 --> 02:35:10.706 [Unmatched Speaker]: Why do you not kill them? 02:35:11.888 --> 02:35:12.508 [Unmatched Speaker]: Feast on them. 02:35:13.249 --> 02:35:13.670 [Riv (DM)]: Why should we? 02:35:14.430 --> 02:35:15.131 [Riv (DM)]: They're peaceful people. 02:35:16.973 --> 02:35:18.936 [Riv (DM)]: Make a fair point. 02:35:18.956 --> 02:35:20.357 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I put my weapon away. 02:35:20.397 --> 02:35:22.059 [Lacer (Kai)]: What is it? 02:35:22.300 --> 02:35:24.222 [Lacer (Kai)]: Insight check. 02:35:24.242 --> 02:35:25.243 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, roll insight check. 02:35:33.003 --> 02:35:33.824 [Riv (DM)]: Seems we're telling the truth. 02:35:35.346 --> 02:35:40.672 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Fuck. 02:35:40.692 --> 02:35:41.593 [Riv (DM)]: I see we're above an impasse. 02:35:41.613 --> 02:35:43.756 [Riv (DM)]: What do you know of the pool? 02:35:43.776 --> 02:35:44.157 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sorry? 02:35:45.338 --> 02:35:48.462 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What do you know of the pool in the lower cavern? 02:35:50.224 --> 02:35:51.065 [Riv (DM)]: The pool of reflections? 02:35:52.086 --> 02:35:56.511 [Riv (DM)]: It's an interesting companion and has been for many years. 02:35:56.612 --> 02:35:58.073 [Riv (DM)]: It's insightful. 02:35:58.614 --> 02:36:00.276 [Riv (DM)]: Tells you things about yourself that you might not know. 02:36:02.787 --> 02:36:05.210 [Riv (DM)]: As for where it came from, I wouldn't know. 02:36:05.230 --> 02:36:07.352 [Riv (DM)]: It was here before I got here. 02:36:10.375 --> 02:36:12.217 [Lacer (Kai)]: How long ago was that? 02:36:12.478 --> 02:36:16.402 [Riv (DM)]: I would say... 02:36:16.422 --> 02:36:20.867 [Riv (DM)]: I've been here for maybe a couple of hundred years. 02:36:24.591 --> 02:36:25.292 [Lacer (Kai)]: How do you do it? 02:36:25.812 --> 02:36:30.077 [Lacer (Kai)]: How have you been surviving for a hundred years in this place? 02:36:32.234 --> 02:36:33.777 [Riv (DM)]: You have a lot of questions, don't you? 02:36:35.540 --> 02:36:38.405 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're just trying to find a solution. 02:36:38.426 --> 02:36:39.888 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We're curious people. 02:36:39.908 --> 02:36:40.149 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 02:36:40.429 --> 02:36:42.914 [Lacer (Kai)]: Humans... All of us, actually. 02:36:42.934 --> 02:36:43.315 [Lacer (Kai)]: I take that. 02:36:43.595 --> 02:36:44.918 [Lacer (Kai)]: All of us are curious. 02:36:46.240 --> 02:36:48.484 [Lacer (Kai)]: You're the first of your kind that we've seen. 02:36:49.686 --> 02:36:50.007 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ever. 02:36:51.168 --> 02:36:53.111 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I'm not surprised by that. 02:36:54.373 --> 02:37:01.685 [Riv (DM)]: But, you come into my home, and you kill countless of my children, and you come here just with questions. 02:37:01.825 --> 02:37:04.509 [Riv (DM)]: I would have assumed more violence. 02:37:04.589 --> 02:37:05.691 [Riv (DM)]: I was prepared for such. 02:37:07.414 --> 02:37:08.375 [Riv (DM)]: Very interesting people. 02:37:10.018 --> 02:37:17.850 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I mean, honestly, I was, uh, I was absolutely fucking terrified by the, uh, by the spiders. 02:37:18.910 --> 02:37:19.571 [Riv (DM)]: Terrified of us? 02:37:19.871 --> 02:37:23.336 [Riv (DM)]: And she like skittles forward very quickly and comes up to like within a meter of you. 02:37:23.816 --> 02:37:24.978 [Riv (DM)]: Why would you ever be so? 02:37:25.018 --> 02:37:29.524 [Riv (DM)]: And her head leans down like a foot away from yours and smiles. 02:37:29.624 --> 02:37:32.868 [Riv (DM)]: The mouth, big smile, way too big for a face. 02:37:37.354 --> 02:37:38.596 [Riv (DM)]: Because of things like that. 02:37:41.639 --> 02:37:42.961 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, fair enough, fair enough. 02:37:43.021 --> 02:37:43.602 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sorry. 02:37:45.455 --> 02:37:50.580 [Riv (DM)]: It's been so long since I've had different company, to be fair, so I can't deny that I am enjoying this. 02:37:53.102 --> 02:37:57.086 [Riv (DM)]: But this doesn't get us any further to a resolution of our little impasse we've got here. 02:37:57.126 --> 02:38:00.729 [Riv (DM)]: How do we move forward from this? 02:38:01.290 --> 02:38:03.192 [Riv (DM)]: I assume you're here about the mines, correct? 02:38:05.814 --> 02:38:06.655 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 02:38:06.675 --> 02:38:07.636 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Correct. 02:38:08.217 --> 02:38:10.819 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We were contracted just to find out why they went offline. 02:38:11.340 --> 02:38:15.023 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I believe we have our answer, though that answer may not make 02:38:15.458 --> 02:38:16.920 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The people that contracted us happy. 02:38:19.823 --> 02:38:21.765 [Riv (DM)]: So you are third party. 02:38:22.045 --> 02:38:23.747 [Riv (DM)]: You've been contracted to come and investigate. 02:38:23.807 --> 02:38:25.629 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting. 02:38:27.111 --> 02:38:27.992 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I can tell you this. 02:38:28.632 --> 02:38:29.433 [Riv (DM)]: I will not be leaving. 02:38:31.415 --> 02:38:32.917 [Riv (DM)]: I have nowhere else to go, to be honest. 02:38:33.998 --> 02:38:38.203 [Riv (DM)]: And if more of your kind come, I can only imagine that. 02:38:40.225 --> 02:38:40.405 [Riv (DM)]: Well. 02:38:42.387 --> 02:38:43.288 [Riv (DM)]: You've seen what's happened. 02:38:44.888 --> 02:38:46.190 [Riv (DM)]: So how do we resolve this? 02:38:47.692 --> 02:38:48.874 [Riv (DM)]: What do you want out of this? 02:38:49.615 --> 02:38:52.839 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're not entirely in a rush to get the mines operational again. 02:38:52.879 --> 02:38:55.303 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They, um... 02:38:55.323 --> 02:38:59.368 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They're working in service of the Empire, who we don't exactly agree with. 02:39:01.531 --> 02:39:01.652 [Riv (DM)]: Oh. 02:39:02.933 --> 02:39:03.875 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting, so you're not... 02:39:03.895 --> 02:39:04.676 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Web's in webs. 02:39:09.182 --> 02:39:09.262 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 02:39:09.282 --> 02:39:12.166 [Riv (DM)]: So you don't have any allegiance directly to Morgana herself, do you? 02:39:14.370 --> 02:39:14.710 [Lacer (Kai)]: Who? 02:39:14.960 --> 02:39:17.645 [Lacer (Kai)]: We have no idea who that is. 02:39:17.725 --> 02:39:18.386 [Lacer (Kai)]: The Empress. 02:39:20.009 --> 02:39:20.850 [Riv (DM)]: Oh. 02:39:20.870 --> 02:39:21.431 [Riv (DM)]: Apparently not. 02:39:22.953 --> 02:39:24.075 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What do you know of the Empress? 02:39:25.097 --> 02:39:26.099 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I know many things. 02:39:28.423 --> 02:39:31.568 [Riv (DM)]: But again, questions and questions, don't you? 02:39:34.298 --> 02:39:41.265 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, would you prefer fighting or just some peaceful questions so that we could resolve this? 02:39:42.527 --> 02:39:45.650 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's the only thing, two ways I can see from here. 02:39:45.970 --> 02:39:49.254 [Riv (DM)]: What I really would like, there's a resolution to this problem. 02:39:49.334 --> 02:39:50.875 [Riv (DM)]: I don't want people coming into my home. 02:39:50.935 --> 02:39:55.720 [Riv (DM)]: If we can get to that, maybe we can talk about other things. 02:39:58.363 --> 02:40:00.165 [JC (Ryo)]: You obviously have no love for the Empire. 02:40:00.205 --> 02:40:01.646 [JC (Ryo)]: You've killed a bunch of their soldiers. 02:40:01.687 --> 02:40:02.628 [JC (Ryo)]: We've seen their bodies. 02:40:03.589 --> 02:40:04.069 [Riv (DM)]: Of course. 02:40:06.597 --> 02:40:09.982 [JC (Ryo)]: And our contract purely was to find out what happened. 02:40:10.022 --> 02:40:12.625 [JC (Ryo)]: It didn't say to fix the issue. 02:40:13.787 --> 02:40:14.648 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's true. 02:40:16.471 --> 02:40:16.751 [Lacer (Kai)]: Who knows? 02:40:17.032 --> 02:40:20.376 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We could return with word that there was a cave-in in the mines. 02:40:20.436 --> 02:40:20.757 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh no. 02:40:21.257 --> 02:40:22.059 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They're inaccessible. 02:40:23.741 --> 02:40:24.602 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Will be for some time. 02:40:24.842 --> 02:40:25.503 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How unfortunate. 02:40:27.106 --> 02:40:27.366 [JC (Ryo)]: Okay. 02:40:28.788 --> 02:40:33.094 [JC (Ryo)]: Or we could report that there's just... 02:40:33.833 --> 02:40:40.159 [JC (Ryo)]: Too many things here worth the lives of trying to clear out. 02:40:43.442 --> 02:40:44.603 [JC (Ryo)]: Good work. 02:40:44.623 --> 02:40:46.204 [JC (Ryo)]: It's not worth their effort to come here. 02:40:47.606 --> 02:40:48.226 [Riv (DM)]: I wouldn't mind. 02:40:48.366 --> 02:40:57.615 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine that there will always eventually be some meddling person that comes poking around the draw, the lure of infinite gold. 02:40:59.036 --> 02:40:59.857 [Riv (DM)]: Too hard to say away. 02:40:59.877 --> 02:41:01.018 [JC (Ryo)]: What gold? 02:41:01.038 --> 02:41:02.980 [JC (Ryo)]: I see no gold. 02:41:04.546 --> 02:41:06.448 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, you mean all of this? 02:41:06.808 --> 02:41:08.009 [Riv (DM)]: And she sort of gestures around. 02:41:08.029 --> 02:41:11.412 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The mines were empty. 02:41:12.753 --> 02:41:14.955 [Riv (DM)]: Well, look. 02:41:14.976 --> 02:41:19.179 [Riv (DM)]: Despite what you may think of me and my children, I am just a girl after all. 02:41:19.540 --> 02:41:20.921 [Riv (DM)]: I like myself some pretty things. 02:41:23.904 --> 02:41:29.729 [Riv (DM)]: When we were defending ourselves, I might have asked my children to pick up a few bits and pieces here and there. 02:41:31.150 --> 02:41:31.971 [Riv (DM)]: Could you really blame me? 02:41:34.668 --> 02:41:35.829 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, not really. 02:41:37.451 --> 02:41:38.832 [Riv (DM)]: Spoils of war? 02:41:40.414 --> 02:41:40.975 [Riv (DM)]: You could say that. 02:41:46.401 --> 02:41:54.710 [Lacer (Kai)]: Um, I have an idea to tease you with. 02:41:54.730 --> 02:41:55.170 [Lacer (Kai)]: Please? 02:41:55.911 --> 02:41:58.694 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're employed by the Green Griffins. 02:41:59.495 --> 02:42:02.498 [Lacer (Kai)]: We don't want this mine to be 02:42:03.608 --> 02:42:04.950 [Lacer (Kai)]: Owned by the Empire. 02:42:04.990 --> 02:42:12.018 [Lacer (Kai)]: What is your favorite food besides people? 02:42:15.862 --> 02:42:16.703 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting question. 02:42:19.726 --> 02:42:26.494 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm sure you don't get access to like spices and exotic type foods down here. 02:42:31.098 --> 02:42:32.360 [Riv (DM)]: I don't need to eat very often. 02:42:33.421 --> 02:42:40.310 [Riv (DM)]: Once you've lived for as long as I have, you sort of learn to just sustain in other ways. 02:42:40.430 --> 02:42:44.275 [Riv (DM)]: But if I ever get the hungers I will... 02:42:44.295 --> 02:42:48.040 [Riv (DM)]: I'll head down there and I'll go hunting for creatures beneath. 02:42:48.981 --> 02:42:51.625 [Riv (DM)]: And she gestures almost negligently at... 02:42:51.645 --> 02:42:58.033 [Riv (DM)]: There's like a large hole in the ground in the cavern, a large crater that just goes down and down. 02:43:01.338 --> 02:43:06.864 [Lacer (Kai)]: I look at the whole, really intrigued at what creatures are down there, but I guess that's for another day. 02:43:06.884 --> 02:43:26.705 [Lacer (Kai)]: Would it be worthwhile, since we are employed by the Green Griffins, as a trade, to bring beasts from above land, things that you've never tasted before, for the chance to mine some gold? 02:43:28.987 --> 02:43:29.067 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 02:43:30.953 --> 02:43:32.615 [Riv (DM)]: This is something that we could potentially discuss. 02:43:33.677 --> 02:43:48.459 [Riv (DM)]: How could I, how could I confirm, how could I be confident that the people you bring to mine wouldn't end up in the same position they were before, attacking my children, encroaching on my land and my home? 02:43:49.661 --> 02:43:54.328 [Riv (DM)]: Could you ensure, could you assure me that they would keep to themselves and we could keep to ourselves? 02:43:55.945 --> 02:44:21.379 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I don't think we can make promises on behalf of individuals, but we can set some very clear boundaries that if our people pass beyond, that is their own actions, and your people are free to defend your realm as required. 02:44:22.473 --> 02:44:33.386 [Lacer (Kai)]: And every, whenever you need to eat, we will, the griffins can provide beasts, alive or dead, I suppose. 02:44:34.448 --> 02:44:35.429 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alive or dead? 02:44:36.851 --> 02:44:41.336 [Lacer (Kai)]: To your place, to your, to the entrance of your domain. 02:44:42.798 --> 02:44:45.621 [Riv (DM)]: To be completely honest, I don't have a lot of interest in food. 02:44:47.243 --> 02:44:51.248 [Riv (DM)]: Gold, however, I mean, look around. 02:44:53.962 --> 02:44:54.883 [Riv (DM)]: I do like the sound of this. 02:44:55.765 --> 02:44:58.729 [Riv (DM)]: How about we change the deal somewhat? 02:45:00.572 --> 02:45:11.969 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I take it that human miners are slightly more capable of extracting gold from the walls than spiders. 02:45:11.989 --> 02:45:12.811 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You could say that, yes. 02:45:14.774 --> 02:45:16.236 [Lacer (Kai)]: Than your children, I suppose. 02:45:17.277 --> 02:45:18.379 [Lacer (Kai)]: Assuming they're your children. 02:45:18.419 --> 02:45:21.724 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 02:45:25.062 --> 02:45:28.147 [Lacer (Kai)]: And they could, I guess they could forge it and you can take a portion. 02:45:28.868 --> 02:45:29.870 [Lacer (Kai)]: How would you like to split it? 02:45:30.150 --> 02:45:35.478 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because labor, smelting, refinery, all takes a lot of work. 02:45:35.498 --> 02:45:35.879 [Riv (DM)]: Indeed. 02:45:35.899 --> 02:45:37.842 [Riv (DM)]: I do like the sound of this. 02:45:37.862 --> 02:45:52.926 [Riv (DM)]: I guess there's, there's the concern that the Empire ever comes looking or questioning why, why the take is less or lower than expected, but 02:45:53.986 --> 02:45:57.192 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, we're trying to keep this out of Empire altogether. 02:45:57.933 --> 02:45:59.476 [Lacer (Kai)]: The Empire won't be around forever. 02:45:59.516 --> 02:46:01.980 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Hmm. 02:46:02.000 --> 02:46:08.652 [Lacer (Kai)]: We don't want this so-called, not a gold coin, going to this Empress Morgana, whatever her name is. 02:46:09.193 --> 02:46:10.175 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not a coin from here. 02:46:10.756 --> 02:46:13.581 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not one drop of gold. 02:46:14.675 --> 02:46:15.236 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting. 02:46:15.276 --> 02:46:20.762 [Riv (DM)]: So you want to cut the Empire off from this and I want to keep people out. 02:46:22.384 --> 02:46:23.925 [Riv (DM)]: We could probably work this out. 02:46:26.348 --> 02:46:28.010 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's also another offer on the table. 02:46:28.310 --> 02:46:32.034 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Something maybe more palatable than food or even gold. 02:46:32.775 --> 02:46:33.156 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: What's that? 02:46:33.176 --> 02:46:35.638 [Riv (DM)]: We just kill each other right now and be done with it? 02:46:36.339 --> 02:46:40.704 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You seem to have some knowledge of the one we call the Empress. 02:46:41.966 --> 02:46:43.247 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Some past history. 02:46:44.695 --> 02:46:45.676 [Riv (DM)]: I know many things. 02:46:45.856 --> 02:46:46.517 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: What does revenge taste like? 02:46:51.322 --> 02:46:52.503 [Riv (DM)]: Can you repeat that last bit, sorry? 02:46:52.904 --> 02:46:54.405 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: What does revenge taste like? 02:46:57.629 --> 02:46:57.969 [Riv (DM)]: Well... 02:47:00.973 --> 02:47:05.758 [Riv (DM)]: I care little of the happenings from the overworld, to be honest. 02:47:06.519 --> 02:47:10.543 [Riv (DM)]: My revenge is, shall we say, deeper. 02:47:11.844 --> 02:47:13.386 [Riv (DM)]: Focused at deeper places. 02:47:14.767 --> 02:47:15.609 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Fair enough. 02:47:15.629 --> 02:47:20.938 [Riv (DM)]: What I do care about, however, is keeping a low profile. 02:47:21.940 --> 02:47:36.066 [Riv (DM)]: So if we could agree that the people you instate keep to themselves and provide us with a small boon every once in a while. 02:47:37.615 --> 02:47:46.123 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe I could promise to help defend in case any of these pesky red cloaks come. 02:47:46.724 --> 02:47:50.007 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe I could help defend the mine with you. 02:47:50.027 --> 02:47:53.190 [Lacer (Kai)]: It is your mine. 02:47:53.610 --> 02:47:54.892 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's your mine to begin with. 02:47:56.253 --> 02:47:56.974 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, I guess so. 02:47:57.714 --> 02:48:04.821 [Riv (DM)]: My children do sometimes get bored and can't deny that they enjoy a good scuffle every now and then. 02:48:07.805 --> 02:48:11.149 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably worth noting that this would be a longer term venture. 02:48:11.329 --> 02:48:23.423 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: In the short term, things probably need to be either a lot more chaotic upstairs or a lot more stable before any sort of mining operations should resume. 02:48:25.225 --> 02:48:25.726 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, fair enough. 02:48:27.748 --> 02:48:34.296 [Riv (DM)]: Well, in that case, what is it that you people do? 02:48:34.496 --> 02:48:35.517 [Riv (DM)]: Should we shake on it? 02:48:38.382 --> 02:48:39.803 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does she have human arms? 02:48:40.404 --> 02:48:40.764 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, man. 02:48:41.185 --> 02:48:41.906 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, human arms. 02:48:41.926 --> 02:48:46.470 [Riv (DM)]: They look very human apart from the fact that instead of fingernails, they're sort of sharpened points. 02:48:48.913 --> 02:48:51.836 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Kinda... 02:48:51.856 --> 02:48:56.741 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I apologize if this is rude, but you could kind of shake with all of us at once, couldn't you? 02:48:58.402 --> 02:49:01.085 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, does she have eight human arms on her torso? 02:49:01.285 --> 02:49:01.966 [Lacer (Kai)]: He has legs. 02:49:02.246 --> 02:49:03.968 [Riv (DM)]: Two human arms, but she's got a lot of legs. 02:49:05.905 --> 02:49:12.031 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think some sort of more formal binding would probably be better. 02:49:13.632 --> 02:49:14.073 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Contract. 02:49:15.834 --> 02:49:15.935 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay. 02:49:18.217 --> 02:49:20.519 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Is anyone in the party versed in legalese? 02:49:22.501 --> 02:49:23.221 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: In what, sorry? 02:49:23.582 --> 02:49:24.282 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: In legalese. 02:49:26.184 --> 02:49:27.666 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How to write a proper legal contract. 02:49:29.047 --> 02:49:33.471 [Lacer (Kai)]: That was, I think, Erendor would be able to write something up. 02:49:33.571 --> 02:49:34.292 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or Dondar. 02:49:35.707 --> 02:49:37.029 [Lacer (Kai)]: I haven't done much writing. 02:49:40.275 --> 02:49:43.581 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Dondar would be more capable than myself. 02:49:50.734 --> 02:49:51.836 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What should we write on this? 02:49:52.036 --> 02:49:53.158 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I have fine paper. 02:49:54.961 --> 02:49:56.504 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't know. 02:49:56.524 --> 02:49:58.828 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Legally, it's probably something... 02:49:59.500 --> 02:50:06.150 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Guaranteeing the rights and control of the mine to Queen... What's your name, by the way? 02:50:07.893 --> 02:50:07.993 [Riv (DM)]: Ah. 02:50:09.455 --> 02:50:12.199 [Riv (DM)]: My name is Malfandris the Banished. 02:50:13.762 --> 02:50:14.243 [Riv (DM)]: Not a queen. 02:50:15.865 --> 02:50:16.486 [Riv (DM)]: At least not yet. 02:50:17.908 --> 02:50:22.014 [Lacer (Kai)]: We will call you Queen Malfi... Malfi... 02:50:22.035 --> 02:50:22.976 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can't even say that. 02:50:23.657 --> 02:50:25.280 [Riv (DM)]: My friends call me Melfi. 02:50:26.521 --> 02:50:27.583 [Riv (DM)]: She chuckles a little bit. 02:50:30.112 --> 02:50:34.838 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Um, yeah, we'll probably just look to like writing up a proper formal contract. 02:50:34.878 --> 02:50:35.478 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 02:50:36.960 --> 02:50:39.903 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The mines belong to her, dictate the terms and agreements. 02:50:43.528 --> 02:50:45.430 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm gonna roleplay the whole contract. 02:50:45.530 --> 02:50:46.191 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, yeah, all good. 02:50:46.451 --> 02:50:59.106 [Riv (DM)]: Are you, is this, so I guess, um, above the table, um, a contract isn't gonna hold a lot of water, like in most places probably, um, 02:51:00.200 --> 02:51:07.948 [Riv (DM)]: Is this sort of a deception thing where you do this to appease her now and then whatever happens later happens or is it genuine? 02:51:08.989 --> 02:51:10.230 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think this is legit. 02:51:10.250 --> 02:51:10.350 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay. 02:51:10.370 --> 02:51:10.690 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Genuine. 02:51:10.991 --> 02:51:12.012 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just to be true. 02:51:12.072 --> 02:51:18.218 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm not going to hold a lot of water right now when the new world order comes in and we're part of the, to bring us to the new world order well. 02:51:21.081 --> 02:51:21.201 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 02:51:21.221 --> 02:51:21.341 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:51:21.361 --> 02:51:24.204 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: All right, cool. 02:51:24.224 --> 02:51:24.404 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 02:51:24.424 --> 02:51:29.109 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Long term, it's not going to be online for the current stuff. 02:51:29.129 --> 02:51:29.329 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:51:30.608 --> 02:51:31.009 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:51:31.970 --> 02:51:39.482 [Riv (DM)]: Well, the contract can be drawn up and she can sign it along with you, yeah? 02:51:39.502 --> 02:51:43.749 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm assuming our representatives and the Green Griffin are to be the miners. 02:51:44.911 --> 02:51:47.575 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We're not giving the mine to the Empire? 02:51:47.996 --> 02:51:51.502 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The Green Griffins aren't the rebels. 02:51:52.203 --> 02:51:56.650 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's just one guy within the Green Griffins was like, it'd be nice if the Empire didn't have it. 02:51:58.334 --> 02:52:08.686 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So we're probably negotiating on behalf of a future government that does not yet exist that we are in the process of probably trying to create at the very grassroots level. 02:52:08.706 --> 02:52:09.607 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm fine with that. 02:52:09.867 --> 02:52:16.194 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Which is probably a terrible contract, but... 02:52:16.214 --> 02:52:18.717 [JC (Ryo)]: Surely we have... 02:52:20.780 --> 02:52:23.843 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Surely there are others within the Rebellion that could do with funds. 02:52:25.265 --> 02:52:27.227 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Like the Mawbreakers. 02:52:28.237 --> 02:52:29.779 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh yeah, at some point, yeah. 02:52:32.883 --> 02:52:33.243 [Riv (DM)]: Very well. 02:52:33.604 --> 02:52:33.924 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:52:34.405 --> 02:52:35.286 [Riv (DM)]: The contract can be signed. 02:52:35.306 --> 02:52:38.570 [Riv (DM)]: Hand wave, hand wave, whatever. 02:52:38.590 --> 02:52:44.818 [Riv (DM)]: And she says... Well, this certainly didn't go the way that I was expecting, but I can't say that I am disappointed. 02:52:48.623 --> 02:52:52.888 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: In the short term, would you like the mine closed physically? 02:52:54.410 --> 02:52:57.754 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: To prevent wanderers and opportunists? 02:52:59.270 --> 02:52:59.971 [Riv (DM)]: I'll leave that to you. 02:53:00.291 --> 02:53:01.413 [Riv (DM)]: I'll leave that to you to figure out. 02:53:01.473 --> 02:53:04.537 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure you'll have people you need to make explanations to. 02:53:06.159 --> 02:53:07.200 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure you can come up with something. 02:53:07.260 --> 02:53:16.292 [Riv (DM)]: I don't mind either way as long as you leave my tunnels more or less intact. 02:53:16.312 --> 02:53:21.619 [Riv (DM)]: Well, this has been enlightening to say the least. 02:53:21.679 --> 02:53:24.703 [Riv (DM)]: I haven't had many productive conversations with your kind. 02:53:26.084 --> 02:53:29.890 [Riv (DM)]: Go with the knowledge that you have the blessing of Nelfandris the Banished. 02:53:31.472 --> 02:53:39.184 [Riv (DM)]: If you have any further questions from you chatty folk, I might be able to answer one or so, maybe two if you're lucky. 02:53:39.765 --> 02:53:53.425 [Riv (DM)]: However, given that technically speaking, now that we have signed a contract, you would be entitled to half of this as your gesture's around, would you like to take some on your way out as a measure of my goodwill? 02:53:59.328 --> 02:54:00.269 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd say no to treasure. 02:54:01.430 --> 02:54:03.192 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm good for gold, but... 02:54:03.853 --> 02:54:06.276 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll have a... What do we... What do we do with gold? 02:54:08.018 --> 02:54:09.339 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You see if any of it's magical. 02:54:13.524 --> 02:54:21.292 [Lacer (Kai)]: We'll just ask, do you have anything magical in that... that... abundance of wealth you have there? 02:54:23.535 --> 02:54:26.058 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Um... 02:54:26.078 --> 02:54:28.120 [Riv (DM)]: I do have one thing. 02:54:28.488 --> 02:54:33.733 [Riv (DM)]: You mean you propose, instead of taking some gold, you would rather have a magical item or something?
