09:55.066 --> 09:58.050 [Lacer (Kai)]: His chest is... this is a giant dude. 09:58.070 --> 09:58.971 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 09:58.991 --> 10:01.414 [JC (Ryo)]: Bag of holding's open and can hold a lot of weight. 10:03.757 --> 10:06.100 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think his chest is bigger than two feet. 10:06.788 --> 10:18.285 [Riv (DM)]: I think the breastplate itself would probably be a bit too large to fit in, unless you were to like, I don't know, try and cut the bindings or something and pull it in pieces, maybe? 10:19.106 --> 10:20.629 [Riv (DM)]: It would be a bit of a squeeze there. 10:20.649 --> 10:21.169 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I do that? 10:22.732 --> 10:24.094 [Lacer (Kai)]: If I cut the bindings? 10:24.434 --> 10:26.437 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, why don't you roll a dexterity save? 10:26.517 --> 10:27.098 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's see. 10:27.619 --> 10:28.681 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is it all plate? 10:28.701 --> 10:29.342 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, I'll try. 10:29.362 --> 10:34.990 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's this black, dark plate that's got these sort of like red lines running through it. 10:34.970 --> 10:41.998 [Vael (Berberis)]: Probably worth noting as well that a headless body without the armor will mean nothing to the troops outside if you want to use it as a scary piece. 10:45.042 --> 10:47.685 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think we're going to use just the head. 10:48.947 --> 10:52.631 [Riv (DM)]: You can try just the head. 10:52.751 --> 11:00.100 [Riv (DM)]: As you're holding the plate it feels unnaturally cold to the touch and you get a very strong disconcerting feel from it. 11:01.666 --> 11:05.760 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's kind of... evil armor. 11:05.901 --> 11:06.984 [Lacer (Kai)]: Was it a dex save? 11:07.145 --> 11:08.911 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or just regular dex? 11:08.931 --> 11:09.533 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, it was a dex save. 11:15.908 --> 11:16.810 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, there you go. 11:17.190 --> 11:18.793 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I think easy enough. 11:19.054 --> 11:25.505 [Riv (DM)]: If you slice the straps that bind it around the side and over the shoulders, you're able to pull it neatly into pieces. 11:26.086 --> 11:33.299 [Riv (DM)]: The armor is essentially ruined now until a armorer looks at it again and attempts to put it back together in a well-forged manner. 11:34.040 --> 11:38.008 [Riv (DM)]: But pulling it apart like this now allows you to just squeeze it through. 11:38.028 --> 11:40.532 [Riv (DM)]: I think two feet 11:40.664 --> 11:47.029 [Riv (DM)]: Two feet would probably be just wide enough I think now that it's in parts, especially if you take the pauldrons off separately as well. 11:48.460 --> 11:50.864 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, that's what I've done bit by bit. 11:51.164 --> 11:52.506 [Riv (DM)]: But it's heavy though. 11:52.846 --> 11:55.450 [Riv (DM)]: This is very, very heavy armor. 11:55.570 --> 12:03.021 [Riv (DM)]: I think that you might need to start having a glance at the inventory of the Bag of Holding to ensure that you're not going to be... 12:03.041 --> 12:04.483 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to look and see what's in it. 12:05.225 --> 12:10.673 [Riv (DM)]: Because you've got like breastplate in there, you've got... What is this breastplate from? 12:13.697 --> 12:14.538 [Riv (DM)]: That was yours, wasn't it? 12:16.621 --> 12:17.843 [Riv (DM)]: Before you made the scale mail? 12:19.021 --> 12:20.863 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, then it should have disappeared then. 12:21.064 --> 12:21.905 [Lacer (Kai)]: It should have disappeared. 12:22.345 --> 12:22.826 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm not sure. 12:22.986 --> 12:26.991 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was wearing hide armour at the time. 12:27.492 --> 12:28.553 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, it might have been Valorans? 12:28.654 --> 12:33.420 [Riv (DM)]: I never... After he upgraded to Plange? 12:34.722 --> 12:35.683 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, it could have been. 12:37.125 --> 12:37.225 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 12:37.245 --> 12:38.486 [Lacer (Kai)]: Honestly, carry. 12:38.507 --> 12:39.648 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, all good. 12:39.748 --> 12:41.751 [Lacer (Kai)]: How much can a bag go hold and carry again? 12:41.791 --> 12:42.432 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is it like... 12:42.452 --> 12:43.493 [Riv (DM)]: I think it's 500, isn't it? 12:44.519 --> 12:45.561 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, then that should be fine. 12:46.181 --> 12:46.822 [Lacer (Kai)]: That should be fine. 12:46.842 --> 12:48.665 [Lacer (Kai)]: We've only got one... 12:48.685 --> 12:52.050 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, we have two Breastplates, but that's only 80 kilo. 12:53.773 --> 12:54.514 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, it should be fine. 12:54.534 --> 13:00.803 [JC (Ryo)]: Gotta remember that a couple of those things don't have white on them at the moment. 13:00.823 --> 13:05.490 [Lacer (Kai)]: Descending Stones, Blackmosh, Armor. 13:05.731 --> 13:10.678 [Lacer (Kai)]: His armor won't be like, hundreds of kilos, right? 13:10.778 --> 13:11.860 [Lacer (Kai)]: Probably about 100 pounds. 13:13.190 --> 13:13.891 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, that's fine. 13:14.191 --> 13:14.671 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's fine. 13:15.853 --> 13:16.133 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 13:16.153 --> 13:17.614 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I'll leave that to you to manage. 13:24.381 --> 13:25.042 [Vael (Berberis)]: Alright. 13:25.262 --> 13:40.918 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright guys, so what's the plan? 13:42.637 --> 13:46.684 [JC (Ryo)]: We're gonna hold up in here, we're just gonna walk out of here like nothing's happened. 13:48.888 --> 13:49.749 [JC (Ryo)]: We're gonna sneak out. 13:52.273 --> 13:56.781 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have no idea, but I hand out some healing potions, all that I've got. 13:57.943 --> 14:07.800 [Lacer (Kai)]: I hand out two healing potions, whoever needs it, and I down the greater healing potion. 14:11.442 --> 14:13.585 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I could just walk out with a head and see what happens. 14:22.456 --> 14:24.478 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I opened my inventory. 14:24.498 --> 14:29.565 [JC (Ryo)]: So Riv, with potions, if we take a full action, do we get the full heal out of them or no? 14:31.127 --> 14:39.157 [Riv (DM)]: No, you still roll it, yeah. 14:39.177 --> 14:41.179 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, so I'm going to roll every potion we take, okay. 14:43.049 --> 14:47.653 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep, so there's two potions of healing up for use if people need it. 14:49.035 --> 14:50.256 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Uh... 14:50.276 --> 14:55.301 [Lacer (Kai)]: I am rather low health, so... Alright, there you go. 14:55.581 --> 14:57.343 [Lacer (Kai)]: I hand you an Erendora potion. 14:58.944 --> 15:01.947 [JC (Ryo)]: I reach into my bag and start chugging potions. 15:05.110 --> 15:05.991 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright. 15:06.011 --> 15:07.152 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, I've got 26 health. 15:07.232 --> 15:10.776 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What could go wrong? 15:10.796 --> 15:12.077 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Did not roll the dice. 15:34.653 --> 15:36.535 [Lacer (Kai)]: Um, could there only be two D4 Erendor? 15:36.555 --> 15:39.919 [Lacer (Kai)]: I only have two normal, two normals and one great. 15:39.959 --> 15:40.840 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Ah, two normal and one great. 15:41.080 --> 15:41.781 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Okay. 15:41.861 --> 15:42.202 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, sorry. 15:43.924 --> 15:47.728 [Lacer (Kai)]: But if you drink two, two normals, I suppose that'll be fine. 15:48.029 --> 15:49.871 [Lacer (Kai)]: If you wanted to drink both, if you want both. 15:57.299 --> 15:58.821 [Riv (DM)]: How are we looking in terms of spell slots, guys? 16:01.383 --> 16:02.144 [Lacer (Kai)]: What's the spell slot? 16:02.165 --> 16:03.587 [Lacer (Kai)]: Fresh out. 16:03.607 --> 16:05.150 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, what is the spell slot? 16:05.170 --> 16:05.852 [Lacer (Kai)]: What is that? 16:05.892 --> 16:16.152 [Vael (Berberis)]: My sheet tells me I have three third levels, but I don't believe I actually have third levels because I'm multicast. 16:17.718 --> 16:18.899 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ah, you should actually. 16:19.821 --> 16:22.103 [Lacer (Kai)]: Multiclass, you still get your 4th spell progression. 16:22.404 --> 16:24.967 [Vael (Berberis)]: I don't have any 3rd level spells, but do I have the slots? 16:25.127 --> 16:26.789 [Vael (Berberis)]: You have the slots that you can use for lowercasting. 16:26.809 --> 16:28.111 [Vael (Berberis)]: You have the slots that you can upcast. 16:29.512 --> 16:30.954 [Vael (Berberis)]: Okay. 16:30.974 --> 16:37.382 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: In that case... Run back into the tunnels and try and have a sure rest. 16:39.965 --> 16:42.167 [Vael (Berberis)]: I have too many spells in my list. 16:42.748 --> 16:43.910 [Vael (Berberis)]: Filtered by... 16:44.630 --> 16:44.971 [Vael (Berberis)]: Prepared. 16:45.071 --> 16:46.813 [Vael (Berberis)]: You think you have it bad. 16:47.603 --> 16:52.571 [Riv (DM)]: He's the same because, oh, I guess you've got Druid and Cleric, right? 16:52.591 --> 16:52.851 [Riv (DM)]: Mm-hmm. 16:53.392 --> 16:53.633 [Riv (DM)]: He is, okay. 16:53.653 --> 16:54.614 [Riv (DM)]: Good luck. 16:54.634 --> 17:02.807 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I do have four first level spells and also my innate Ops Without Freeze. 17:02.827 --> 17:04.129 [Vael (Berberis)]: Okay, um... 17:04.149 --> 17:04.770 [Vael (Berberis)]: I have nothing. 17:05.652 --> 17:07.715 [Vael (Berberis)]: Who is the most winded right now? 17:09.337 --> 17:09.898 [Lacer (Kai)]: Most winded? 17:10.579 --> 17:12.623 [Lacer (Kai)]: You look pretty bad yourself, I think. 17:13.464 --> 17:14.826 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I gotta get up a bit. 17:15.515 --> 17:17.037 [JC (Ryo)]: I've just charged four potions. 17:17.097 --> 17:18.499 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm feeling a fair bit better. 17:19.500 --> 17:24.146 [Lacer (Kai)]: Did you want a potion of healing, um, uh, Berberis? 17:26.970 --> 17:28.311 [Vael (Berberis)]: Sorry, just trying to get some food into me. 17:29.994 --> 17:36.462 [Vael (Berberis)]: If I do actually have those third level spell slots, um, probably not. 17:37.063 --> 17:39.325 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just need to quickly do some checking. 17:42.269 --> 17:44.492 [JC (Ryo)]: Riv, just confirming, all the zombies are dead, right? 17:45.417 --> 17:45.838 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 17:46.138 --> 17:49.885 [Riv (DM)]: They were tied to Blackmosh when he fell. 17:50.266 --> 17:52.731 [Riv (DM)]: He collapsed into a pile of skeletons. 17:54.053 --> 18:01.708 [Vael (Berberis)]: Okay, um, just reading Spirit... 18:01.728 --> 18:05.535 [Vael (Berberis)]: I can't link it without... 18:14.476 --> 18:15.778 [Vael (Berberis)]: Link it without casting it. 18:21.226 --> 18:34.565 [Riv (DM)]: When you click it to cast I believe there's an option you can click to like not spend resource or something like that. 18:35.126 --> 18:38.390 [Vael (Berberis)]: If I do actually have those level spell slots I'm not completely dry. 18:38.691 --> 18:43.858 [Vael (Berberis)]: So I have a plus four on my spell casting ability. 18:45.712 --> 18:51.864 [Vael (Berberis)]: So that would be five times you can heal, 2d6. 18:52.926 --> 18:54.669 [Riv (DM)]: What's your multi-class again? 18:54.689 --> 18:55.851 [Vael (Berberis)]: Druid, Ranger, eh? 18:56.933 --> 19:00.780 [Riv (DM)]: Druid, Ranger, yeah. 19:00.800 --> 19:02.443 [Riv (DM)]: Rangers are complicated. 19:05.509 --> 19:06.471 [Riv (DM)]: What level ranger? 19:08.122 --> 19:08.643 [Vael (Berberis)]: Ah, five. 19:09.426 --> 19:10.388 [Vael (Berberis)]: Five ranger, three druid. 19:11.090 --> 19:17.388 [Vael (Berberis)]: Which is why I was- do I actually have that third level spell- those three- Well, rangers don't- rangers don't give you any third level spell slots yet. 19:17.508 --> 19:18.992 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't have any and I'm a level eight. 19:19.968 --> 19:34.170 [Riv (DM)]: But you know when you're multiclassing you combine your total levels across all spellcasting classes to get your spell slots that you should have but rangers are weird because they don't get high level spell slots. 19:35.011 --> 19:37.936 [Riv (DM)]: Oh geez okay we're gonna have to pull open the table. 19:40.820 --> 19:42.162 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's why I haven't used it. 19:42.648 --> 19:47.916 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, I know I don't have access to third level spell, so part of me was like, do I actually have third level spell slots? 19:48.437 --> 19:51.221 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so, turn your spell slots by adding together the following. 19:51.282 --> 19:53.946 [Riv (DM)]: All of your levels in Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer. 19:53.966 --> 19:58.673 [Riv (DM)]: Half of your levels rounded up in Paladin and Ranger, and one third of your levels. 19:58.693 --> 20:01.417 [Riv (DM)]: Then look this total up in the left column on the multi-class table. 20:01.438 --> 20:01.758 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 20:01.798 --> 20:04.302 [Riv (DM)]: So you're 3 and 5A. 20:04.653 --> 20:09.838 [Riv (DM)]: So that means you'll be three and three, so you're six, which means you get three level third spell slots. 20:10.198 --> 20:10.678 [Riv (DM)]: Perfecto. 20:11.619 --> 20:12.240 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, cool. 20:12.260 --> 20:13.061 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, awesome. 20:16.984 --> 20:24.211 [Vael (Berberis)]: My ability mod for Druid spellcasting is plus four, so I can heal the number of times equal to one plus your spellcasting ability mod, so that's five times. 20:25.892 --> 20:29.275 [Vael (Berberis)]: At third level, which is 2d6 per cast, I believe. 20:30.937 --> 20:32.398 [Vael (Berberis)]: Or 2d6 per tick. 20:34.859 --> 20:36.161 [Vael (Berberis)]: It's a 1d6 heal. 20:37.242 --> 20:42.709 [Vael (Berberis)]: When you cast using a higher spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the heal increases by 1d6 for each spell slot above 2nd. 20:46.153 --> 20:50.879 [Vael (Berberis)]: So that is... 12d6 of healing? 20:51.560 --> 20:52.581 [Vael (Berberis)]: I can scatter around? 20:53.983 --> 20:56.967 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's number one. 20:57.047 --> 20:57.948 [Vael (Berberis)]: If my math is right? 20:58.869 --> 21:01.052 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, let me just read that. 21:02.112 --> 21:06.836 [JC (Ryo)]: The spirit can heal a number of times equal to one plus your spellcasting ability modifier. 21:07.777 --> 21:09.399 [JC (Ryo)]: After healing, the spirit disappears. 21:10.960 --> 21:11.921 [Riv (DM)]: Five times, right? 21:13.022 --> 21:14.764 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, five times, because it was one plus four. 21:15.945 --> 21:18.628 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, lasts for a minute, so that would be max 10. 21:18.988 --> 21:22.992 [Riv (DM)]: 10d6, wouldn't it? 21:23.072 --> 21:23.933 [Vael (Berberis)]: Oh yeah, five times. 21:26.015 --> 21:28.677 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, 10d6, I think that sounds good. 21:45.008 --> 21:51.477 [Vael (Berberis)]: 32 points over. 21:51.497 --> 21:54.662 [Vael (Berberis)]: Everyone else has potioned up and is quite okay-ish. 21:55.964 --> 21:58.207 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm at 19 of 65. 21:58.227 --> 22:02.152 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm 26 of 65-ish. 22:02.172 --> 22:05.437 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: 36, 87. 22:05.457 --> 22:07.840 [Lacer (Kai)]: 27 out of 60. 22:08.842 --> 22:09.683 [JC (Ryo)]: Everyone's pretty hurt. 22:10.726 --> 22:14.996 [JC (Ryo)]: Just plus 10, when does that, to max your points, when does that go away? 22:17.241 --> 22:20.730 [Lacer (Kai)]: In 8 hours, or... yeah. 22:21.091 --> 22:22.334 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's from 8, eh? 22:23.556 --> 22:24.298 [Vael (Berberis)]: 7 hours? 22:25.401 --> 22:27.165 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm gonna take 12 because I'm very low. 22:31.128 --> 22:31.388 [Vael (Berberis)]: 33. 22:34.032 --> 22:37.516 [Vael (Berberis)]: Lacer and Mouse were both very low, weren't you? 22:37.536 --> 22:41.481 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm at 27, so I can take like 5 or 6 or something. 22:41.982 --> 22:42.563 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll be alright. 22:43.985 --> 22:45.066 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, if you want to take 5. 22:46.167 --> 22:48.751 [Vael (Berberis)]: Mouse take, what, 10? 22:48.771 --> 22:50.012 [Vael (Berberis)]: Give the rest to Dundar. 22:51.575 --> 22:52.215 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yep, which would be 15? 22:52.876 --> 22:57.542 [Vael (Berberis)]: No, um, fuck. 22:57.562 --> 22:58.924 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Promotionally, I'm low too. 23:01.368 --> 23:06.378 [Vael (Berberis)]: So there'd be five remaining, so another five to Dondar, yeah. 23:06.398 --> 23:11.587 [Vael (Berberis)]: And I'm gonna hold the other two slots just in case we need them to do something silly. 23:14.693 --> 23:15.415 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 23:15.435 --> 23:15.575 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 23:15.976 --> 23:20.845 [Lacer (Kai)]: Gonna hold onto the one last remaining health potion I've got, just in case. 23:24.217 --> 23:24.477 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 23:24.938 --> 23:32.446 [Riv (DM)]: Marius stands up, turns, looks around at all of you and just says, alright, you've come this far. 23:33.688 --> 23:34.328 [Riv (DM)]: How do we get out of here? 23:34.488 --> 23:34.969 [Riv (DM)]: What's the plan? 23:42.698 --> 23:49.465 [Vael (Berberis)]: I don't know if I really want to burn a slot on this, but a part of me wants to burn a slot to 23:50.018 --> 23:55.827 [Vael (Berberis)]: Appeal to the winds of fate about a choice of action that we're going to take on whether it's a good idea or bad idea. 24:04.160 --> 24:07.185 [Vael (Berberis)]: But another part of me just says fuck it, we ball. 24:07.986 --> 24:08.627 [Vael (Berberis)]: Fuck it, we ball. 24:10.470 --> 24:14.997 [Vael (Berberis)]: The front doors to the cathedral, can we bar them from the inside if things go poorly? 24:15.955 --> 24:22.924 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine you could probably try and grab some of the big wooden pews and stack them up or something like that? 24:22.944 --> 24:24.345 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can freeze some water. 24:25.006 --> 24:30.013 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can put a five-foot cube frozen to the bottom and freeze the doors shut if you want. 24:30.914 --> 24:32.516 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You can just freeze the hinges, can't you? 24:33.557 --> 24:37.562 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I could, but they can... they can break. 24:37.582 --> 24:39.484 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think they can break, maybe? 24:41.046 --> 24:44.070 [Lacer (Kai)]: Don't we have an immovable rod? 24:44.130 --> 24:45.692 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We do have an immovable rod. 24:46.887 --> 24:47.908 [Lacer (Kai)]: Did we get another one? 24:50.071 --> 24:53.315 [Lacer (Kai)]: Valoran had that. 24:58.341 --> 25:04.588 [Lacer (Kai)]: I bust out my Decanter of Endless Water and I wet the door. 25:05.810 --> 25:06.671 [Lacer (Kai)]: But I don't play as it. 25:07.532 --> 25:08.933 [Vael (Berberis)]: Vladimir just wants to say fuck it, we ball. 25:09.574 --> 25:11.396 [Vael (Berberis)]: And like I was saying in the chat earlier, these guys are broken. 25:12.117 --> 25:13.859 [Vael (Berberis)]: They haven't had any- Let's say we go. 25:15.001 --> 25:16.202 [Vael (Berberis)]: And he's been killing all- 25:16.688 --> 25:17.950 [Vael (Berberis)]: Or their leadership. 25:19.052 --> 25:20.994 [Vael (Berberis)]: They cut off. 25:21.235 --> 25:22.196 [Vael (Berberis)]: Their only leader's dead. 25:22.377 --> 25:23.258 [Vael (Berberis)]: They don't want to be here. 25:26.643 --> 25:30.829 [Vael (Berberis)]: And if worse comes to worse, we go back inside, freeze the door, and bolt out the other way. 25:30.849 --> 25:32.211 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, let's go with that. 25:32.412 --> 25:35.516 [Lacer (Kai)]: I prepare a cantrip. 25:36.157 --> 25:40.283 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I can use the Moldearth Cantrip to physically block the door with the stone on the ground. 25:42.286 --> 25:42.967 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sounds good. 25:42.987 --> 25:44.029 [Lacer (Kai)]: Nah, let's go for it. 25:44.870 --> 25:48.654 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to...

Greeny flames. 26:06.575 --> 26:07.276 [Lacer (Kai)]: When... 26:07.296 --> 26:08.177 [Lacer (Kai)]: If we do go outside. 26:11.937 --> 26:20.847 [Vael (Berberis)]: I think, Riv, the plan is we're going to take the head of the general, we're going to open the front door, and we're going to fuck it, we ball with the soldiers. 26:22.709 --> 26:23.109 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 26:23.129 --> 26:26.893 [Riv (DM)]: So, how will we position ourselves and who's holding the head? 26:29.356 --> 26:31.979 [Lacer (Kai)]: Look at Erendor, are you doing anything with the head? 26:35.022 --> 26:40.628 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm going to use the mage hand to carry the head floating beside us. 26:42.734 --> 26:45.797 [JC (Ryo)]: I reckon five or ten foot in front of us to be honest. 26:46.338 --> 26:51.202 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 26:53.084 --> 26:54.906 [Riv (DM)]: Does the head have the helmet on it still? 26:57.529 --> 27:00.712 [Vael (Berberis)]: We need something to identify that that's him. 27:03.054 --> 27:04.015 [Lacer (Kai)]: Would it be too heavy? 27:04.556 --> 27:06.438 [Lacer (Kai)]: Would the helmet be too heavy on the Mage Hand? 27:07.839 --> 27:10.682 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The head and helmet with Mage Hand probably would be too heavy. 27:12.080 --> 27:13.182 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's only, what, 10 pound? 27:20.475 --> 27:23.060 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, 10 pound is all I'm at. 27:23.080 --> 27:27.508 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'll just... staff on my back and I'll head and helmet together. 27:29.051 --> 27:32.738 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 27:32.758 --> 27:35.623 [Riv (DM)]: Big breath, and we crack the doors open. 27:36.582 --> 27:40.848 [JC (Ryo)]: Just before I go out, I've got sword and board up, not the bow. 27:41.308 --> 27:42.009 [JC (Ryo)]: So I've got extra AC. 27:42.029 --> 27:43.551 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, yep. 27:44.052 --> 27:44.913 [Riv (DM)]: Sword's out, shield's out. 27:46.195 --> 27:48.198 [Riv (DM)]: Any other final preparations? 27:54.166 --> 28:01.155 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If we have the woman's robes and they're the right height, I want to wear the red robes of the priestess. 28:02.688 --> 28:07.674 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so you'll have to remove your cloak of protection to do that? 28:11.738 --> 28:12.739 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Never had to do that before. 28:15.402 --> 28:22.330 [Riv (DM)]: Because the cloak of protection is like the black robes that the assassin lady was wearing, right? 28:22.350 --> 28:25.714 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, I didn't mind that. 28:25.734 --> 28:25.894 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Fuck it. 28:26.262 --> 28:36.902 [Riv (DM)]: The doors start to crack open and grind along the stone as they slowly slowly push under your strength. 28:38.265 --> 28:47.983 [Riv (DM)]: You step out into the night and immediately you're hit with just gusts of icy cold wind as the snow spinning around in the sky starts to just bite at your skin. 28:47.963 --> 28:55.034 [Riv (DM)]: You step down off the top level of steps and seeing out in front of you just rows upon Rows of soldiers. 28:56.336 --> 29:10.258 [Riv (DM)]: Standing at attention, not like perfectly alert, staring for any sort of movement but they're there, they're looking and you see up in the sky above you just an owl circling. 29:10.694 --> 29:17.361 [Riv (DM)]: As you start coming down, one of the soldiers snaps your attention, steps forward and just calls out, Halt! 29:17.642 --> 29:18.162 [Riv (DM)]: Who goes there? 29:19.864 --> 29:20.065 [Riv (DM)]: Wait. 29:22.287 --> 29:24.890 [Riv (DM)]: I saw Maturji goes off. 29:24.910 --> 29:25.210 [Riv (DM)]: What's that? 29:25.451 --> 29:26.191 [Riv (DM)]: Soldiers, to arms. 29:26.972 --> 29:27.313 [Riv (DM)]: Get ready. 29:27.793 --> 29:33.580 [Riv (DM)]: And you see all the soldiers beside them start to pull out crossbows, get them ready, aimed in your direction. 29:35.362 --> 29:37.444 [Riv (DM)]: The man in the front calls out, Explain yourself. 29:39.972 --> 29:46.082 [Vael (Berberis)]: I will just raise the hidden helmet and then just toss it down the stairs towards him. 29:48.427 --> 29:59.686 [Riv (DM)]: Like rolls, leaving a bit of a black, ichorish sort of greeny trail in the snow as it rolls down the steps and lands right at the feet of the captain of these soldiers. 30:01.168 --> 30:05.035 [Riv (DM)]: You see he kind of takes a step back and as he looks down 30:05.015 --> 30:15.805 [Riv (DM)]: Gets a bit of a closer look, steps forward and just moves it with his foot until he realizes what it is and he takes a big horrified step backwards. 30:16.688 --> 30:20.458 [Riv (DM)]: If a cold person out in the middle of the night could 30:20.759 --> 30:23.722 [Riv (DM)]: Go from pale to even more pale, that is what happens to this man. 30:25.184 --> 30:30.310 [Riv (DM)]: He kind of like looks around over his shoulder and some of the other soldiers start to catch on. 30:31.091 --> 30:42.784 [Riv (DM)]: You see a few of them like start to waver, their crossbows start to lower as they all start looking at each other a bit, a bit sort of unsure of themselves. 30:46.609 --> 30:50.293 [Riv (DM)]: Would you like to make an intimidation check or is there anything else you want to do? 30:50.982 --> 30:54.767 [Vael (Berberis)]: I just want to say this is over. 30:56.869 --> 30:57.730 [Riv (DM)]: Your words ring out. 31:00.834 --> 31:02.296 [Riv (DM)]: Roll an Intimidation check. 31:02.676 --> 31:03.277 [Riv (DM)]: And my Thaumaturgy. 31:03.297 --> 31:04.158 [Riv (DM)]: Can I have my Thaumaturgy go off? 31:04.459 --> 31:05.160 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah, sure, sorry. 31:05.200 --> 31:06.621 [Riv (DM)]: What did you want to do with Thaumaturgy? 31:06.882 --> 31:12.028 [Lacer (Kai)]: I wanted all the flame, I mean the torches that they were bearing, to turn into green flames. 31:12.565 --> 31:13.827 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, okay. 31:16.070 --> 31:16.952 [Riv (DM)]: So it's like one by one. 31:17.893 --> 31:21.379 [Riv (DM)]: The torches start to go green and a couple of them almost like drop them to the snow. 31:21.559 --> 31:27.648 [Riv (DM)]: They start burning away some of the snow on the ground and this like kind of dark greenish smoke starts to melt away the snow. 31:30.272 --> 31:35.901 [JC (Ryo)]: Can I drop a Druidcraft at the captain's feet and just make them miss the snow once the head gets there? 31:36.542 --> 31:37.223 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, yeah. 31:38.806 --> 31:42.492 [Riv (DM)]: He's stepping back and he's clearly being unsettled by all of this. 31:43.574 --> 31:43.895 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 31:44.496 --> 31:47.822 [Riv (DM)]: Before we go with an intimidation, I want someone to roll. 31:47.842 --> 31:48.863 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't we do it with you, Berberis? 31:48.904 --> 31:50.106 [Riv (DM)]: You can roll an insight check. 31:54.954 --> 31:55.194 [Unmatched Speaker]: Oh. 31:55.234 --> 31:57.999 [Unmatched Speaker]: Hey, wisdom. 31:58.019 --> 31:59.582 [Riv (DM)]: Just a casual plus seven. 32:01.604 --> 32:04.008 [Riv (DM)]: Nice, very good. 32:04.909 --> 32:14.104 [Riv (DM)]: So the captain himself and a few of those closest to him look to be sort of stealing themselves. 32:14.906 --> 32:21.857 [Riv (DM)]: That look of, that you've probably recognized before, of people who have got to the point where 32:23.457 --> 32:24.579 [Riv (DM)]: It's now or never. 32:24.919 --> 32:27.983 [Riv (DM)]: If they give in, they're going to die. 32:28.464 --> 32:31.808 [Riv (DM)]: So they're essentially resolving themselves to fight until the bitter end. 32:32.449 --> 32:40.400 [Riv (DM)]: But many of the other soldiers are also not that tough and are clearly starting to look shaken and have the chance to run. 32:40.780 --> 32:51.034 [Riv (DM)]: And so I will tell you now, I'll give you an intimidation check with advantage due to you taking the General's head and the Thaumaturgy and the Jewelcraft. 32:52.111 --> 32:54.254 [Riv (DM)]: With a DC 30, every single one of them will flee. 32:54.274 --> 32:55.595 [Riv (DM)]: 25? 32:55.615 --> 32:58.138 [Riv (DM)]: 20 of them will flee. 32:58.158 --> 33:08.931 [Riv (DM)]: 10 will flee on a DC 20, and on a DC 15 something will happen, and we'll find out what. 33:08.951 --> 33:11.494 [Vael (Berberis)]: Um, shit. 33:11.514 --> 33:13.497 [Vael (Berberis)]: We don't have any charisma in the party anymore, guys. 33:14.899 --> 33:17.001 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have a little bit of charisma. 33:18.883 --> 33:20.245 [Lacer (Kai)]: Only a smidge. 33:22.773 --> 33:26.760 [Vael (Berberis)]: What?

34:02.101 --> 34:03.062 [Riv (DM)]: And go straight into combat? 34:03.122 --> 34:04.984 [Riv (DM)]: Or is there any- are there any other actions you guys want to do? 34:05.004 --> 34:06.705 [Vael (Berberis)]: Do we have a chance for final words?

34:35.763 --> 34:38.326 [JC (Ryo)]: We killed a bunch at the camp, we killed a bunch on the way here. 34:38.366 --> 34:43.351 [JC (Ryo)]: Now your general's gone, and his caster, and the priest. 34:43.772 --> 34:44.873 [JC (Ryo)]: How many more want to die? 34:47.266 --> 34:49.869 [Riv (DM)]: How do I know this isn't just some kind of trick or illusion? 34:54.415 --> 34:56.538 [JC (Ryo)]: Is it in the bag of holding or have people got them on their person? 34:56.558 --> 35:00.823 [JC (Ryo)]: Someone pull out the priest's clothes and that caster's clothes. 35:01.504 --> 35:02.165 [JC (Ryo)]: Show them the clothes. 35:02.646 --> 35:03.707 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think Dondar's got them. 35:06.991 --> 35:10.135 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If we took them, sure, let's say we could get them out. 35:10.874 --> 35:12.076 [Riv (DM)]: The red cloak gets pulled out. 35:12.116 --> 35:25.815 [Riv (DM)]: And again, another wave of discomfort just crashes across the soldiers as these red priests have been striking terror in the hearts and minds of these people for weeks now, months. 35:28.239 --> 35:28.539 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 35:28.960 --> 35:30.121 [JC (Ryo)]: Can I take something else on, Riv? 35:30.702 --> 35:31.163 [Riv (DM)]: Absolutely. 35:33.787 --> 35:36.491 [JC (Ryo)]: Even your hands of the Empire are useless in front of us. 35:36.551 --> 35:39.615 [JC (Ryo)]: I pull out the red cloak of the hand of the Empire that's in my bag. 35:40.642 --> 35:44.771 [JC (Ryo)]: Seriously, how many more of your leaders need to die before you just leave us alone? 35:47.999 --> 35:49.963 [JC (Ryo)]: If we kill them, what do you think you'll do? 35:51.307 --> 35:55.677 [Riv (DM)]: The captain looks over his shoulder, starting to see his main wave regain, and just says, Don't listen. 35:56.258 --> 35:57.621 [Riv (DM)]: Rally, folks. 35:57.854 --> 36:04.824 [Riv (DM)]: Um, I will, on pulling out, on pulling out the Red Priest Cloak, I will give you another chance. 36:05.765 --> 36:12.555 [Riv (DM)]: Um, and with the reveal of the Cloak of the Hand of the Empire, I will give it with advantage again. 36:12.595 --> 36:21.547 [Riv (DM)]: Um, if there's anything else you want to add to it, or if you want to choose who wants to make the check, I will, I will leave that to you. 36:21.567 --> 36:24.992 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I add a, uh, 36:27.217 --> 36:49.562 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Uh, can I add a fire- using pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres- pres 36:50.774 --> 36:56.963 [Riv (DM)]: He uses his hand to trace this big burning nail and it just flashes out while all of this is occurring. 36:57.203 --> 37:03.613 [Riv (DM)]: The symbol that has now become relatively well known across the Empire as the mark of rebellion. 37:05.315 --> 37:05.555 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 37:06.917 --> 37:12.225 [Riv (DM)]: I will let two of you roll a Charisma Intimidation check or one person can roll it with advantage. 37:16.205 --> 37:20.229 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have a plus one to intimidation, but plus four to persuasion. 37:26.876 --> 37:28.257 [Unmatched Speaker]: I'll roll one, you roll one. 37:28.818 --> 37:30.659 [Riv (DM)]: If you like, you know what? 37:31.000 --> 37:44.473 [Riv (DM)]: Intimidation or persuasion I think I will allow because there has been a little bit of back and forth and you are now at the point of sort of trying to convince them almost that you guys are killing their leadership, so I will allow persuasion too. 37:45.719 --> 37:47.502 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can roll a persuasion with plus four. 37:48.383 --> 37:49.124 [Lacer (Kai)]: You do it then. 37:51.328 --> 37:52.590 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 37:52.610 --> 37:53.331 [Lacer (Kai)]: Here we go, people. 37:53.812 --> 37:54.773 [Lacer (Kai)]: Either die or survive. 37:54.874 --> 37:56.716 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are you gonna do it with advantage?

Well, it will give us the correct order in which to resolve the upcoming actions. 39:05.395 --> 39:06.537 [Riv (DM)]: So... 39:07.799 --> 39:16.217 [Riv (DM)]: Give me a second to put 25 soldiers on the board and roll initiative for them. 39:16.237 --> 39:16.898 [Riv (DM)]: Is the badge still up? 39:16.918 --> 39:21.107 [Riv (DM)]: We're running, right? 39:21.127 --> 39:22.029 [Riv (DM)]: Is what still up, sorry? 39:22.049 --> 39:25.336 [Riv (DM)]: Berberis, is the badge still up? 39:25.356 --> 39:26.800 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 39:26.820 --> 39:27.040 Okay, cool. 39:28.100 --> 39:33.687 [Vael (Berberis)]: Badger goes on my turn. 39:34.328 --> 39:37.913 [Riv (DM)]: What I will do, let me expand this. 39:37.933 --> 39:40.476 [Riv (DM)]: So I've just added you all to the initial tracker. 39:40.637 --> 39:46.184 [Riv (DM)]: Please feel free to start rolling in while I get the rest of the stuff configured. 39:46.865 --> 39:49.669 [Riv (DM)]: What I'm going to do is add some padding to the map. 39:53.434 --> 39:54.856 [Riv (DM)]: There we go. 39:54.876 --> 39:55.136 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 39:56.378 --> 39:56.638 That's good. 40:00.618 --> 40:02.542 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Why didn't Riv predict our suicide? 40:13.224 --> 40:15.589 [Riv (DM)]: Why indeed. 40:23.483 --> 40:25.706 [Riv (DM)]: I'm probably not going to put all 25. 40:25.906 --> 40:30.192 [Riv (DM)]: I'll put a couple of dudes out here just for presentation sake. 40:30.934 --> 40:35.200 [Riv (DM)]: And I will give each one their own initiative and they'll just all go on the same initiative round. 40:36.041 --> 40:36.762 [Riv (DM)]: So he's going to go on. 40:37.803 --> 40:39.646 [Riv (DM)]: He's going to go on. 40:39.726 --> 40:42.510 [Vael (Berberis)]: And don't need to badger an initiative because it acts on my turn. 40:42.870 --> 40:46.716 [Vael (Berberis)]: Nice. 40:46.736 --> 40:49.179 [Lacer (Kai)]: How many captains did we see popped out of here? 40:49.219 --> 40:53.305 [Riv (DM)]: There's one captain who's standing at the front. 40:55.040 --> 40:56.802 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, Marius. 41:02.608 --> 41:03.008 [Riv (DM)]: Oh no. 41:06.192 --> 41:10.656 [JC (Ryo)]: Marius rolled better than I did. 41:15.261 --> 41:23.730 [Riv (DM)]: I think that in this instance, so up front, first off, the captain. 41:24.571 --> 41:28.035 [Riv (DM)]: He is going to go first because he's apparently rolling the best initiative. 41:28.536 --> 41:33.623 [Riv (DM)]: This is Captain Varos Keldran, leader of this platoon of the, I believe, the third Talon. 41:34.864 --> 41:36.266 [Riv (DM)]: He doesn't have a crossbow on him. 41:37.047 --> 41:45.878 [Riv (DM)]: He is instead just going to swing his arm forward in a motion to send all his soldiers to attack with their crossbows and then take a defensive stance. 41:45.898 --> 41:48.942 [Riv (DM)]: So he will take the dodge action and 41:49.934 --> 41:55.322 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, just sort of like step back into the ranks so that he's out of the way of the rest of the soldiers. 41:56.423 --> 42:02.051 [Riv (DM)]: And hold an action to...

Yeah, that doesn't mean it isn't strong enough. 57:02.568 --> 57:03.129 [Lacer (Kai)]: It doesn't melt. 57:04.051 --> 57:04.391 [Riv (DM)]: Correct. 57:04.532 --> 57:07.957 [Riv (DM)]: It won't melt, but it is in theory breakable. 57:08.498 --> 57:13.386 [Riv (DM)]: But I suppose if you were to make it like a solid cube rather than like a long flat sheet, it's potentially a bit stronger. 57:13.486 --> 57:15.109 [Riv (DM)]: So what are you sort of thinking? 57:16.726 --> 57:28.063 [Lacer (Kai)]: Um, I was thinking of making, like, just gluing the doors together like a cube, but using it like a five-foot cube in between the doors. 57:28.503 --> 57:28.804 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, cool. 57:29.224 --> 57:32.449 [Unmatched Speaker]: A five-foot cube is very fucking big. 57:32.529 --> 57:33.431 [Unmatched Speaker]: It's heavy too. 57:34.292 --> 57:35.834 [Unmatched Speaker]: That's like shoulder high. 57:35.854 --> 57:38.879 [Riv (DM)]: Are you sure it's not like a cubic five-foot cube? 57:39.439 --> 57:40.701 [Unmatched Speaker]: Yeah. 57:40.721 --> 57:41.282 [Unmatched Speaker]: Five-foot cube. 57:42.578 --> 57:46.444 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because I drenched the door with my, what's it called? 57:46.465 --> 57:47.546 [Lacer (Kai)]: My decanter of endless water. 57:48.087 --> 57:49.089 [Lacer (Kai)]: So there's tons of water. 57:50.431 --> 57:51.032 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I don't know, man. 57:51.072 --> 57:52.655 [Riv (DM)]: That seems wild to me when you think about it. 57:52.675 --> 57:53.536 [Riv (DM)]: Like, 5 feet is big. 57:53.556 --> 57:55.079 [Riv (DM)]: That's like nearly as tall as I am. 57:55.620 --> 57:57.503 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's just like a block of ice. 57:57.523 --> 57:58.805 [Lacer (Kai)]: You can't break that much ice. 57:58.825 --> 57:59.386 [Riv (DM)]: No. 57:59.707 --> 58:01.169 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, that's the whole point. 58:03.113 --> 58:08.181 [Lacer (Kai)]: They gotta chip away at it, I suppose, from one side, but it's frozen on the inside, so they gotta literally break the door. 58:11.350 --> 58:16.355 [Riv (DM)]: I'm just going to do a quick Google if that's alright. 58:16.375 --> 58:19.198 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, shape ward is one of those things that it's like, it's DM's call. 58:20.359 --> 58:20.599 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: A lot of it. 58:20.619 --> 58:32.471 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Alternatively, you just freeze the water in a sheet over the ground outside the door so that they're standing on slippery ice as they're trying to break down. 58:32.792 --> 58:37.396 [Vael (Berberis)]: You can't do, you can't freeze it if there's a creature in the space. 58:37.416 --> 58:40.159 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: But they're not in the space at the moment, as far as we know. 58:40.628 --> 58:41.690 [Lacer (Kai)]: We don't know. 58:42.672 --> 58:46.238 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have to be able to see the area outside the door, which I can't, you know? 58:48.402 --> 58:50.105 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just sealing the door. 58:50.145 --> 58:51.607 [Lacer (Kai)]: We've got plenty of time. 58:51.628 --> 58:55.575 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I'd rather seal the door, so they're gonna hack their way through. 58:55.935 --> 58:56.737 [Lacer (Kai)]: Gives us a bit of time. 58:58.139 --> 59:02.046 [Vael (Berberis)]: Okay, so, because the door opens, the hinges are on the inside, so they can't get in. 59:05.857 --> 59:27.662 [Riv (DM)]: I think that um so it's a bounding box is how people have clarified it so you couldn't make it like the same quantity of water but then like in a super long pipe or something like that it has to be within that bounding box of area but yeah that fits within that five by five by five foot cube can be controlled and frozen um 59:27.642 --> 59:32.247 [Riv (DM)]: That's fucking stupid, but that's all good. 59:32.267 --> 59:34.810 [Riv (DM)]: Hey, we're using spells and breaking the game. 59:35.051 --> 59:46.924 [Riv (DM)]: What I will say, it's pretty much impossible that you would have been able to pour out that much water in the time that we've had here to be able to actually get enough, because that's like 125 gallons of water or something, right? 59:47.465 --> 59:49.347 [Lacer (Kai)]: You can have a one foot cube. 59:49.580 --> 59:50.241 [Lacer (Kai)]: There's some. 59:50.261 --> 59:53.346 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm sure Dondar could press a one-foot cube. 59:53.386 --> 59:58.353 [Riv (DM)]: There's definitely a decent chunk of ice, like maybe a foot or two across. 59:58.674 --> 01:00:03.401 [Riv (DM)]: There's a decent chunk, but 5x5x5 is massive and that would probably take a long time to pour out. 01:00:04.743 --> 01:00:06.385 [Riv (DM)]: So yes, you can froze that on. 01:00:06.546 --> 01:00:07.166 [Riv (DM)]: I'm happy with that. 01:00:09.790 --> 01:00:10.592 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 01:00:10.612 --> 01:00:17.983 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, that's me and I'd like to back 30 feet. 01:00:18.003 --> 01:00:18.103 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay. 01:00:18.123 --> 01:00:18.844 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Just quietly. 01:00:19.955 --> 01:00:21.118 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Does the door have a lock? 01:00:21.378 --> 01:00:22.320 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Or a bar? 01:00:22.561 --> 01:00:23.543 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Would a temple have that? 01:00:25.067 --> 01:00:28.454 [Riv (DM)]: Um... Yep, you- I did ask early on if we could bar the door. 01:00:30.479 --> 01:00:30.579 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:30.960 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 01:00:32.138 --> 01:00:40.006 [Riv (DM)]: They do appear to be some sort of locking mechanism, but you'd need to investigate it properly to figure out what it would do and how to use it. 01:00:41.708 --> 01:00:45.772 [Riv (DM)]: OK, so let's see what it does for spike growth. 01:00:45.792 --> 01:00:47.314 [Riv (DM)]: 34 for every 5 feet. 01:00:48.295 --> 01:00:50.077 [Riv (DM)]: So that's going to be 3 feet. 01:00:50.477 --> 01:00:52.299 [Riv (DM)]: So what, 64 for each of them? 01:00:54.541 --> 01:00:55.302 [Riv (DM)]: I'll just roll that once. 01:00:55.522 --> 01:00:58.045 [Vael (Berberis)]: And it's also difficult terrain, so half movement. 01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:01.723 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so that means they can go 15 which is fine. 01:01:01.944 --> 01:01:08.891 [Vael (Berberis)]: If they choose to advance through the president terrain they're obviously not there. 01:01:08.911 --> 01:01:20.403 [Riv (DM)]: They are being commanded forward and so forward they go and you just hear like kind of like ah god damn sword slashing or maces swinging to try and break some of the spike growth away. 01:01:20.444 --> 01:01:22.225 [Riv (DM)]: They all take 64 damage. 01:01:23.527 --> 01:01:26.530 [Riv (DM)]: 64 damage. 01:01:27.370 --> 01:01:30.375 [Riv (DM)]: That's a decent roll. 01:01:31.737 --> 01:01:35.002 [Riv (DM)]: OK. You hear one... None of them die? 01:01:35.222 --> 01:01:37.366 [Riv (DM)]: You hear one of them scream out and die, actually. 01:01:38.167 --> 01:01:39.849 [Riv (DM)]: The one that had been affected by Minesliver. 01:01:40.831 --> 01:01:44.877 [Riv (DM)]: You hear one guy just... and sort of thud as it falls to the ground. 01:01:46.259 --> 01:01:49.885 [Riv (DM)]: The rest of them are... well, I guess you can't see them. 01:01:51.687 --> 01:01:53.510 [Vael (Berberis)]: Oh, shit. 01:01:53.530 --> 01:01:56.754 [Vael (Berberis)]: Metagaming, the good news is they're the tough guards, so the other guys are fucked. 01:02:02.362 --> 01:02:04.425 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:02:04.445 --> 01:02:04.646 [Riv (DM)]: Good. 01:02:05.186 --> 01:02:07.550 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does the captain take 2d6? 01:02:09.473 --> 01:02:13.278 [Riv (DM)]: When it comes to his turn... Oh, his turn was up top, right? 01:02:13.298 --> 01:02:15.001 [Riv (DM)]: You don't know if he moved. 01:02:15.101 --> 01:02:18.205 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you wouldn't have known, but I'll go for him anyway. 01:02:18.225 --> 01:02:19.467 [Riv (DM)]: He would have been... 01:02:20.712 --> 01:02:21.373 [Riv (DM)]: Wait, how does it work? 01:02:21.433 --> 01:02:22.474 [Riv (DM)]: Is it if you start your turn? 01:02:22.534 --> 01:02:24.215 [Riv (DM)]: It's only if you move, right? 01:02:24.235 --> 01:02:25.917 [Riv (DM)]: Only if you move. 01:02:27.238 --> 01:02:27.779 [Riv (DM)]: He didn't move. 01:02:28.119 --> 01:02:35.045 [Riv (DM)]: You do hear a big thud as multiple bodies slam against the door. 01:02:35.085 --> 01:02:41.872 [Riv (DM)]: You see the hinges sort of like rattle a bit and a bit of dust comes off out of the doors and start to scatter down. 01:02:42.072 --> 01:02:44.834 [Riv (DM)]: But the ice is potentially holding strong. 01:02:44.974 --> 01:02:47.817 [Riv (DM)]: I will roll a couple of strength checks. 01:02:52.015 --> 01:02:53.156 [Riv (DM)]: These guys have got a plus two. 01:02:53.176 --> 01:02:57.742 [Vael (Berberis)]: We could potentially be bracing from the inside while we're waiting. 01:02:58.362 --> 01:02:58.523 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah. 01:03:00.885 --> 01:03:01.106 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:03:01.126 --> 01:03:02.487 [Riv (DM)]: You hear a big thud. 01:03:03.528 --> 01:03:05.371 [Riv (DM)]: And it's the end of their turn. 01:03:05.471 --> 01:03:06.912 [Riv (DM)]: We'll go to Erendor's turn. 01:03:10.917 --> 01:03:11.658 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Okay. 01:03:13.140 --> 01:03:17.865 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, I'm gonna start GTFOing. 01:03:19.307 --> 01:03:19.407 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Okay. 01:03:19.876 --> 01:03:38.438 [Riv (DM)]: What we might do now is if you guys are all planning on ditching at this point, unless there's anything else you guys wanted to do or any of the sort of people in the remaining initiative order, if you wanted to do more to the door, call out now, otherwise we might drop initiative and we'll move to a moment by moment gameplay. 01:03:43.143 --> 01:03:46.907 [JC (Ryo)]: Does the door have handles where I could stick a crowbar into it to make it harder to open? 01:03:47.548 --> 01:03:48.229 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, definitely. 01:03:51.314 --> 01:03:53.442 [JC (Ryo)]: That's my plan for my next turn when I get to it. 01:03:54.686 --> 01:03:55.369 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:03:55.389 --> 01:03:55.931 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, no, that's cool. 01:03:56.292 --> 01:03:57.235 [Riv (DM)]: You can just do that now. 01:03:57.275 --> 01:03:59.885 [Riv (DM)]: So I think we'll drop initiative, Ria, you go forward. 01:03:59.905 --> 01:04:01.611 [Riv (DM)]: Do you have a crowbar in your backpair? 01:04:02.806 --> 01:04:03.307 [Riv (DM)]: I do. 01:04:03.347 --> 01:04:04.248 [Riv (DM)]: Sweet, yeah. 01:04:04.369 --> 01:04:05.070 [Riv (DM)]: You slash it through. 01:04:05.851 --> 01:04:10.919 [Riv (DM)]: Just fits beneath where Kai had put his block of ice, but there's just enough room there to slide it through. 01:04:10.939 --> 01:04:13.403 [Riv (DM)]: These massive, big, ornate stone handles. 01:04:14.465 --> 01:04:22.317 [Riv (DM)]: Like giant, sort of, two or three feet long sort of thing where you can imagine a couple of people just grabbing them and making the door open. 01:04:22.358 --> 01:04:23.399 [Riv (DM)]: That slots through quite nicely. 01:04:23.419 --> 01:04:30.030 [Riv (DM)]: I believe Dondar was in a mold earth or something. 01:04:30.050 --> 01:04:30.130 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:38.607 [Riv (DM)]: You see Marius just starts heading back with Erendor, kind of having a look around to see where we could go. 01:04:38.627 --> 01:04:41.510 [Riv (DM)]: I have an idea. 01:04:41.530 --> 01:04:44.132 [Lacer (Kai)]: Follow me. 01:04:44.993 --> 01:04:47.516 [Lacer (Kai)]: Whisper. 01:04:47.776 --> 01:04:50.819 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, feel free to not drag your tokens around, you don't necessarily need them anymore. 01:04:51.479 --> 01:04:56.244 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, so my plan, you said before these windows all the way at the top here Riv? 01:04:56.704 --> 01:04:58.866 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:04:58.886 --> 01:05:00.808 [JC (Ryo)]: They're like 20, 30 foot high? 01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:01.760 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:05:01.820 --> 01:05:02.621 [Riv (DM)]: Massive windows. 01:05:02.641 --> 01:05:07.227 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 01:05:07.247 --> 01:05:07.688 [JC (Ryo)]: Sweet. 01:05:08.369 --> 01:05:09.570 [JC (Ryo)]: I want to run. 01:05:10.912 --> 01:05:11.833 [JC (Ryo)]: How long is this thing? 01:05:11.893 --> 01:05:12.193 [JC (Ryo)]: 64. 01:05:12.634 --> 01:05:15.718 [Vael (Berberis)]: Rooftops feel like a good way to get crossbowed. 01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:17.800 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm just going to mention. 01:05:17.860 --> 01:05:19.502 [Vael (Berberis)]: Do you want to get out of here or not? 01:05:20.023 --> 01:05:21.625 [Vael (Berberis)]: We can just run back the way we came in. 01:05:21.665 --> 01:05:22.566 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 01:05:22.586 --> 01:05:23.727 [Lacer (Kai)]: We can go to the balconies. 01:05:24.368 --> 01:05:28.213 [Lacer (Kai)]: Balconies lead to somewhere apparently. 01:05:29.189 --> 01:05:33.245 [Vael (Berberis)]: Didn't we drop down, but we came in through like the... 01:05:33.466 --> 01:05:34.229 [Vael (Berberis)]: The side wings. 01:05:34.550 --> 01:05:37.461 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, the wings were linked to the balconies or something. 01:05:37.482 --> 01:05:37.943 [JC (Ryo)]: So there are... 01:05:37.963 --> 01:05:39.148 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll look at Marius. 01:05:39.938 --> 01:05:43.042 [JC (Ryo)]: Is there any other way out of this building other than the front door? 01:05:44.785 --> 01:05:47.649 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, the side wings. 01:05:47.689 --> 01:05:50.553 [Riv (DM)]: We can get through the tunnels to them potentially. 01:05:50.713 --> 01:05:52.756 [Riv (DM)]: It's a risk. 01:05:52.776 --> 01:05:59.766 [Riv (DM)]: If they're covering those then the only way out would be through the main entrance of those wings themselves but it's a chance they might not expect us to go that way. 01:06:00.347 --> 01:06:03.752 [Riv (DM)]: You will remember you came up through here. 01:06:03.732 --> 01:06:23.604 [Riv (DM)]: There are, so in the same way that there are stairs that go down here, there are also stairs that go down in a similar way underneath these balconies that go down, lead to a door, down to the tunnels where there are these sort of like underpassages that connect the two side wings of the Stoneheart. 01:06:23.624 --> 01:06:26.949 [Vael (Berberis)]: There was like the military temple that we came through to get in on the side. 01:06:27.330 --> 01:06:27.630 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah. 01:06:29.298 --> 01:06:33.902 [Lacer (Kai)]: That was pretty quiet when we went through earlier on. 01:06:33.922 --> 01:06:40.608 [JC (Ryo)]: Either that or we can use the rope of climbing to bust through that window and go out the other side of the building where they won't be guarding an entrance, hopefully. 01:06:42.570 --> 01:06:45.192 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, but they're gonna hear that if you break that glass. 01:06:48.415 --> 01:06:50.597 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Go through the tunnels and break a window on the other side. 01:06:51.137 --> 01:06:52.399 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Whatever we're gonna do, do it fast. 01:06:52.419 --> 01:06:53.019 [Vael (Berberis)]: It's a long way. 01:06:53.259 --> 01:06:55.802 [Vael (Berberis)]: It took us like 30-40 minutes to travel through the building. 01:06:55.882 --> 01:06:58.444 [Vael (Berberis)]: I think we used the interior of the building as cover while we can. 01:06:59.588 --> 01:07:06.958 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright you guys pick one and I'm going to pull out my bow and I'm going to, because they're all like 20, 30 foot in the air right Riv? 01:07:08.601 --> 01:07:17.032 [Riv (DM)]: It would be 10ish feet up to get to the window and then the windows themselves are 20, 30 feet tall. 01:07:20.497 --> 01:07:26.085 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm going to take out my bow and just start popping holes in random windows to make it look like we might have drawn out one of them. 01:07:26.572 --> 01:07:27.393 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, yeah, nice. 01:07:28.034 --> 01:07:31.499 [Riv (DM)]: You just start launching and big panes of glass start shattering outwards. 01:07:33.321 --> 01:07:36.906 [Riv (DM)]: Larger chunks sort of like start breaking off as you start to fracture them and weaken their integrity. 01:07:37.667 --> 01:07:40.371 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:07:40.431 --> 01:07:43.635 [Riv (DM)]: I believe Dondar was going to do something. 01:07:47.220 --> 01:07:48.201 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can I do the thing? 01:07:49.603 --> 01:07:50.645 [Vael (Berberis)]: What thing are you doing? 01:07:50.665 --> 01:07:53.929 [Vael (Berberis)]: Mulder. 01:07:55.006 --> 01:07:58.530 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I wanted to use Moldearth. 01:07:59.171 --> 01:08:03.336 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The description is unclear as to whether I can manipulate stone. 01:08:05.058 --> 01:08:05.318 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 01:08:05.739 --> 01:08:12.187 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think you can manipulate stone. 01:08:12.207 --> 01:08:15.010 [Riv (DM)]: You can target earth and excavate it. 01:08:15.531 --> 01:08:20.237 [Riv (DM)]: With stone you can put symbols and shapes and stuff on it. 01:08:20.297 --> 01:08:23.140 [Riv (DM)]: So it's different effects based on the stone. 01:08:24.301 --> 01:08:27.885 [Riv (DM)]: So if it's loose earth, you can excavate it instantly and move it. 01:08:28.306 --> 01:08:31.149 [Riv (DM)]: If it's stone, you can cause shapes and colors to appear on it. 01:08:32.471 --> 01:08:35.674 [Riv (DM)]: If it is dirt or stone, you can make it difficult terrain. 01:08:40.200 --> 01:08:42.262 [Riv (DM)]: So I don't think you can just excavate like solid stone. 01:08:43.023 --> 01:08:46.627 [Riv (DM)]: It'd be pretty strong for a cantrip. 01:08:46.648 --> 01:08:49.571 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 01:08:49.591 --> 01:08:52.975 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And I don't actually have a hammer, do I? 01:08:54.203 --> 01:08:54.924 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I've got one. 01:08:55.225 --> 01:08:56.206 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'll toss you my hammer. 01:08:57.008 --> 01:08:57.469 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You've got one? 01:08:57.809 --> 01:08:58.931 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh. 01:08:58.951 --> 01:08:59.272 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have... 01:09:00.374 --> 01:09:11.874 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Through some experience I have in stonecutting, I want to chip off stone from one of the stone coffins and use it to hammer a wedge under the doors. 01:09:13.677 --> 01:09:14.579 [Riv (DM)]: A doorstop. 01:09:15.981 --> 01:09:17.123 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, pretty much. 01:09:18.706 --> 01:09:23.913 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, roll your, this would be your, do you have the tools with you? 01:09:25.315 --> 01:09:26.577 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, let me quickly look at your thing. 01:09:27.738 --> 01:09:28.820 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have a hammer. 01:09:28.840 --> 01:09:30.743 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so calligraphers. 01:09:30.763 --> 01:09:33.066 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm imagining hitting stone. 01:09:33.907 --> 01:09:36.250 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:09:36.270 --> 01:09:48.527 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so I think you're proficient with calligraphers supplies now, so I think what I'll let you do is you can roll it with either dex or strength, but you won't be able to add your proficiency modifier to it. 01:09:50.465 --> 01:09:54.269 [Vael (Berberis)]: Doesn't Dwarf get stoned? 01:09:55.331 --> 01:09:56.952 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have a stone cutting feature. 01:10:00.857 --> 01:10:04.822 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Which its effect doesn't... 01:10:04.842 --> 01:10:05.843 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Sorry, stone cunning. 01:10:06.383 --> 01:10:07.004 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You're right, yes. 01:10:07.725 --> 01:10:08.326 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I misread that. 01:10:09.187 --> 01:10:10.408 [Riv (DM)]: Tremorsense. 01:10:10.428 --> 01:10:13.832 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So I can use it to sense where people are. 01:10:13.852 --> 01:10:13.952 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:10:14.272 --> 01:10:14.733 [Riv (DM)]: It's quite cool. 01:10:14.853 --> 01:10:19.999 [Riv (DM)]: You can like sort of, you don't need to be able to see so in pitch black you can kind of feel where people are if they're on stone. 01:10:22.865 --> 01:10:26.210 [Vael (Berberis)]: So do you want to try your hammer? 01:10:27.793 --> 01:10:29.215 [Riv (DM)]: Can I just do it anyway? 01:10:29.335 --> 01:10:30.757 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, definitely give it a try. 01:10:30.777 --> 01:10:38.209 [Riv (DM)]: Roll and add either your dex or your strength. 01:10:38.229 --> 01:10:38.730 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dex. 01:10:41.950 --> 01:10:43.713 [Riv (DM)]: Oh nice, huge roll. 01:10:44.274 --> 01:11:05.832 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah no I think I was gonna um I was gonna basically expect a 21st because it's quite a difficult thing to do and also time is of the essence here we don't have time to be spending a bunch of time to chisel off these things but on this really super nice ornate um coffin and you see Marius kind of looking over the shoulder and almost grimace a bit as you go to do it but there's like this section of stone up on top that looks a bit more fragile and more ornamental you can 01:11:05.812 --> 01:11:12.803 [Riv (DM)]: Just easily whack that and it comes off instantly and it looks like it's just the right sort of angle and shape to be able to slide and wedge down under the door. 01:11:13.403 --> 01:11:13.764 [Riv (DM)]: Very good. 01:11:15.046 --> 01:11:22.818 [Riv (DM)]: There are now three layers of protection against the door and as you do that you hear another massive boom as a bunch more people slam against the wall. 01:11:25.001 --> 01:11:25.722 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:11:25.742 --> 01:11:28.326 [Vael (Berberis)]: Are they taking damage from the smoke grenade as they get close? 01:11:28.306 --> 01:11:31.551 [Riv (DM)]: I think once they're up against the wall, they don't need to move anymore. 01:11:33.834 --> 01:11:40.004 [Riv (DM)]: You see now with this thud, the ice starts to crack and shards start to break off the ice a bit. 01:11:40.644 --> 01:11:44.070 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 01:11:44.090 --> 01:11:45.251 [Vael (Berberis)]: In the words of a wise man. 01:11:45.271 --> 01:11:50.439 [Vael (Berberis)]: Woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop. 01:11:50.519 --> 01:11:51.040 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Wise man's fear. 01:11:52.201 --> 01:11:57.930 [Vael (Berberis)]: Exiting the path we know I think is probably the safest. 01:11:58.631 --> 01:11:58.911 [Vael (Berberis)]: Cool. 01:11:59.993 --> 01:12:07.284 [Riv (DM)]: Marius, he runs over to the steps that lead down to the tunnels and he kind of like just waves you over as he is quite familiar with these. 01:12:08.906 --> 01:12:19.963 [Riv (DM)]: Head down the stairs down into the underpass and you will be essentially heading straight down and up to the left following the stairs leading the way back over to the Hall of the Guardians. 01:12:19.943 --> 01:12:26.451 [Riv (DM)]: You come up into the main chamber of the Guardians, you look around, you see all the ceremonial weapons, the altar and the anvil. 01:12:27.572 --> 01:12:34.461 [Riv (DM)]: Again, in this room now there are more windows and you know far down the end is the main entrance to the Hall of the Guardians. 01:12:35.042 --> 01:12:37.505 [Riv (DM)]: I will just point out that... 01:12:38.946 --> 01:12:41.590 [Riv (DM)]: I'll just draw a quick sketch of this for you. 01:12:41.830 --> 01:12:43.572 [Riv (DM)]: It's essentially like this. 01:12:45.661 --> 01:12:49.912 [Riv (DM)]: It's like a separate wing that's built onto it here, and the entrance to the Hall of the Guardians is here. 01:12:50.513 --> 01:12:52.980 [Riv (DM)]: So just so you've got the info. 01:12:57.090 --> 01:12:57.752 [Vael (Berberis)]: Where's Piyo? 01:12:58.935 --> 01:12:59.236 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's okay. 01:12:59.557 --> 01:13:01.662 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So we could have snuck out the side the whole time! 01:13:03.683 --> 01:13:11.751 [Riv (DM)]: So you would have gone back and you would have come up here. 01:13:11.812 --> 01:13:13.894 [Riv (DM)]: The anvil and the altar is like here. 01:13:13.934 --> 01:13:16.576 [Riv (DM)]: There is like a section here. 01:13:16.637 --> 01:13:19.379 [Riv (DM)]: There are more rooms that come in here like on a different level. 01:13:19.800 --> 01:13:20.841 [Riv (DM)]: There are more rooms down here. 01:13:21.241 --> 01:13:25.766 [Riv (DM)]: But you essentially would need to come down this way to exit. 01:13:25.866 --> 01:13:28.589 [Vael (Berberis)]: From memory it was the closest point to the buildings outside. 01:13:28.649 --> 01:13:31.412 [Vael (Berberis)]: So the buildings outside would be like here or something I guess. 01:13:31.392 --> 01:13:35.136 [Lacer (Kai)]: So the guards can see us if we run outside from this door? 01:13:35.156 --> 01:13:36.397 [Riv (DM)]: That's essentially what I'm trying to say, yeah. 01:13:36.417 --> 01:13:40.902 [Riv (DM)]: If you come out through the main entrance here, it will just open out to the main courtyard where the soldiers are. 01:13:40.922 --> 01:13:43.665 [Riv (DM)]: But, I mean, it won't be directly where they are necessarily. 01:13:43.685 --> 01:13:49.632 [Vael (Berberis)]: From memory, the reason we went in that door is because it was closest to the surrounding buildings in the courtyard. 01:13:49.652 --> 01:13:50.312 [Riv (DM)]: Correct, yeah. 01:13:50.512 --> 01:13:51.674 [Vael (Berberis)]: So it is the least distance to cover. 01:13:51.694 --> 01:13:52.214 [Riv (DM)]: That's right. 01:13:52.395 --> 01:13:55.678 [Riv (DM)]: So if you were to come over this way, you would get back to a similar alley. 01:13:59.101 --> 01:14:03.888 [Vael (Berberis)]: And if nothing else, we'll buy a bit of time while they filter in and get scattered. 01:14:04.930 --> 01:14:15.226 [Lacer (Kai)]: On our way through to all of the armory, do we see any windows along the wall? 01:14:17.229 --> 01:14:18.731 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, there are plenty of windows in here. 01:14:19.152 --> 01:14:22.216 [Riv (DM)]: Plenty of windows that will be coming up in this direction. 01:14:22.837 --> 01:14:26.543 [Riv (DM)]: There are windows up behind the altar, or the anvil rather. 01:14:27.991 --> 01:14:30.874 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are these like the high high ones or are they street level ones? 01:14:31.215 --> 01:14:31.955 [Riv (DM)]: Similar design. 01:14:32.015 --> 01:14:38.583 [Riv (DM)]: They aren't as high as the main ones in the main chamber of the Stoneheart, but they're also very tall. 01:14:43.988 --> 01:14:47.492 [Vael (Berberis)]: What's the plan? 01:14:47.532 --> 01:14:51.216 [Vael (Berberis)]: Get as far as we can and then either out the window or a door. 01:14:51.417 --> 01:14:53.279 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just, we need to get back into the buildings. 01:14:55.181 --> 01:14:55.481 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 01:14:55.501 --> 01:14:57.323 [Vael (Berberis)]: Back in the building. 01:14:58.265 --> 01:15:04.012 [Lacer (Kai)]: As they're talking about that, I am putting water on all the doors that we go through and freezing them. 01:15:04.032 --> 01:15:06.976 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to be like 12 seconds behind each. 01:15:07.637 --> 01:15:09.059 [Lacer (Kai)]: So I'm setting up frozen doors. 01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:10.080 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:15:10.100 --> 01:15:10.360 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 01:15:10.380 --> 01:15:11.882 [Riv (DM)]: So we're just like freezing the path as we go. 01:15:12.984 --> 01:15:13.164 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:15:13.184 --> 01:15:14.566 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it'll take a little bit of time. 01:15:16.148 --> 01:15:18.671 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, so I'll be about 12 seconds behind everyone else. 01:15:19.152 --> 01:15:19.813 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, sweet. 01:15:19.833 --> 01:15:21.775 [Riv (DM)]: So are we going out a window? 01:15:24.218 --> 01:15:28.023 [JC (Ryo)]: I broke a bunch of windows to make it look like we're going out the window in the main room. 01:15:29.265 --> 01:15:29.365 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:15:29.385 --> 01:15:33.851 [Riv (DM)]: Oh man, these guys are rolling like shit. 01:15:33.871 --> 01:15:35.574 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, they're standing in a bunch of spikes. 01:15:35.594 --> 01:15:36.054 [Riv (DM)]: They are. 01:15:36.075 --> 01:15:36.976 [Riv (DM)]: It's difficult for them. 01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:47.370 [Vael (Berberis)]: If we find a window that links out well to nearby buildings, at any point while we're running, am I able to link with my owl outside or is he still too far away? 01:15:48.231 --> 01:15:48.512 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, no. 01:15:48.612 --> 01:15:50.294 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you can link with them now, for sure. 01:15:50.334 --> 01:15:52.217 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, once you're up on the sort of main level. 01:15:54.425 --> 01:15:55.246 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yep. 01:15:55.266 --> 01:15:58.168 [Vael (Berberis)]: Am I saying anything running around or is it just the front door that's busy?

01:16:47.699 --> 01:16:47.799 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yep. 01:16:47.819 --> 01:16:50.503 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm sure my owl can pinpoint that, at least. 01:16:51.749 --> 01:16:56.958 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so I think that you want to be heading back towards the wall where the tunnel is, right? 01:16:57.258 --> 01:16:58.721 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, over this way. 01:16:58.741 --> 01:16:59.102 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, cool. 01:16:59.122 --> 01:17:01.926 [Riv (DM)]: So you do want to be heading in this direction, over to the east. 01:17:02.548 --> 01:17:04.271 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 01:17:04.291 --> 01:17:05.312 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:17:05.332 --> 01:17:05.733 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, sweet. 01:17:05.753 --> 01:17:08.558 [Riv (DM)]: So do you want to jump out one of these windows out here, potentially to break out?

01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:38.444 [Riv (DM)]: Nah, these are just the people I think. 01:21:39.184 --> 01:21:47.733 [Riv (DM)]: I mean technically I probably could have just done a single stealth check for the person breaking the glass but I think it makes sense as people climbing out making sure maybe more glass is shattering as we're going, that sort of thing. 01:21:49.315 --> 01:21:55.421 [Riv (DM)]: You break through the glass just directly beneath is sort of like a little awning so you kind of come out onto a little raised lip. 01:21:55.921 --> 01:22:01.847 [Riv (DM)]: You can jump off down onto the courtyard and crouch and get ready to flee across the courtyard. 01:22:02.789 --> 01:22:27.683 [Riv (DM)]: With those stealth checks and with the very very clutch pass without a trace none of the guards heard you which is unfathomable that this would be possible um but all good you now have to make the mad dash across the courtyard and into the dense streets of El Noren so as we are dashing across once again please make another stealth check this time visually so if you've got um things that give you advantage from sound this time it's visual only. 01:22:27.663 --> 01:22:31.150 [Vael (Berberis)]: Do we get to try and affect it in any way? 01:22:31.170 --> 01:22:35.558 [Vael (Berberis)]: I have my owl do a flyby on the guards to make them look in one direction. 01:22:35.859 --> 01:22:40.347 [Riv (DM)]: If you want to pause for a second and do any abilities for you, Dashcross, absolutely. 01:22:40.708 --> 01:22:40.788 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 01:22:40.808 --> 01:22:42.511 [Lacer (Kai)]: I send my raven. 01:22:43.293 --> 01:22:43.393 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:22:45.550 --> 01:23:06.192 [Riv (DM)]: So the raven goes flying over and just like passes over here and it just hears um you probably wouldn't even be able to hear it at this point in the storm but you just would have hear like uh the guards would hear escaping west wing um and they will make some wisdom saving throws to see i'll just roll i'll roll a few to see if they oh one of them actually just rolled a natural 20. 01:23:11.673 --> 01:23:26.016 [Vael (Berberis)]: I would like to, if I'm allowed, pick a guard on the far side of the guard groups and have my owl do a flyby and then through my familiar do a shocking grasp. 01:23:26.978 --> 01:23:30.063 [Vael (Berberis)]: Because I can cast cantrips with a range of touch through my familiar. 01:23:31.726 --> 01:23:36.373 [Vael (Berberis)]: Actually, how does that work with range to target? 01:23:36.433 --> 01:23:37.495 [Vael (Berberis)]: I need to probably double check that. 01:23:38.048 --> 01:23:41.454 [Riv (DM)]: I think if the owl is touching the target, then you can cast through it, I'm pretty sure. 01:23:42.015 --> 01:23:45.242 [Vael (Berberis)]: But at my range to the owl, because I know we've looked at that before. 01:23:45.282 --> 01:23:46.824 [Riv (DM)]: It's like a hundred and something. 01:23:46.845 --> 01:23:48.908 [Riv (DM)]: 120 or something, I believe, is the range I'm familiar. 01:23:50.091 --> 01:23:58.486 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, if that's in range, then yeah, owl do a flyby and zap the shit out of the guard on the far side of the pack so he screams and they all look at him. 01:23:58.506 --> 01:24:00.951 [Lacer (Kai)]: You should just zap the captain. 01:24:02.922 --> 01:24:22.618 [Vael (Berberis)]: 100 feet of you that might be so you do you want to do it on like the far left side of the of the thing yeah so they're looking away at whoever's yelling in pain if the range works yeah if it's if the range is too far then the range is far enough they're not going to see us and we're just fucking living it yeah it's probably it's probably a bit far yeah that's fair enough yeah 01:24:23.257 --> 01:24:24.458 [Vael (Berberis)]: Alright, we're just hooking it. 01:24:24.859 --> 01:24:26.741 [Vael (Berberis)]: Al is watching to see if anyone spots us. 01:24:27.181 --> 01:24:28.042 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:24:28.523 --> 01:24:29.704 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, group self-checks. 01:24:29.784 --> 01:24:34.490 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, you can do yours with advantage since you made a distraction. 01:24:37.754 --> 01:24:39.556 [Riv (DM)]: So just roll one more time and we'll take your heist. 01:24:41.678 --> 01:24:43.620 [Riv (DM)]: I'll do Marius again. 01:24:46.444 --> 01:24:52.150 [Vael (Berberis)]: Still got passive out of Trace, so yeah. 01:24:52.687 --> 01:24:56.676 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm getting a difference between what the dice shows me and what the number shows me. 01:24:58.279 --> 01:24:58.761 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, really? 01:24:59.863 --> 01:25:04.413 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, that showed me a 17, but it was a 7. 01:25:04.433 --> 01:25:06.077 [Vael (Berberis)]: No, not even that. 01:25:06.117 --> 01:25:10.206 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, just before the dice for me kept on rolling. 01:25:11.350 --> 01:25:13.975 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: For about three or four seconds after the number popped up. 01:25:14.356 --> 01:25:16.560 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, maybe just need to smash a reload or something. 01:25:17.762 --> 01:25:19.565 [Riv (DM)]: The dice might be desynced or something like that. 01:25:20.026 --> 01:25:20.627 [Riv (DM)]: All right, cool. 01:25:20.647 --> 01:25:21.328 [Riv (DM)]: So what have we got?

02:14:47.393 --> 02:14:48.154 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is that what it was? 02:14:49.777 --> 02:14:52.781 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Well, that was the one that none of us could read. 02:14:53.181 --> 02:14:55.965 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We hadn't worked out how to make the text visible. 02:14:57.287 --> 02:14:57.767 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah. 02:14:58.729 --> 02:15:00.111 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Dondar's got something different. 02:15:00.491 --> 02:15:01.873 [Lacer (Kai)]: He's got a magic rock. 02:15:04.469 --> 02:15:10.097 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, if the character doesn't remember giving it to me, then maybe it doesn't exist. 02:15:11.459 --> 02:15:19.651 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I remember, but I don't know what it does, because you guys just gave it to me before she... Are you 100% sure it was Belinda? 02:15:19.711 --> 02:15:22.755 [Riv (DM)]: Let me look back at my notes. 02:15:22.775 --> 02:15:29.585 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Pretty sure it was, but... Yep, Dondar and Belinda were a thing. 02:15:30.826 --> 02:15:33.430 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Girls don't usually give me stuff in this game, so... 02:15:40.531 --> 02:15:41.372 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, you know what? 02:15:41.653 --> 02:15:45.739 [Riv (DM)]: I think we might have to come back to this if that's right. 02:15:45.799 --> 02:15:52.789 [Riv (DM)]: I'll look back through my notes offline and we can chat about it because I have no memory of it and I don't have it written down in my notes. 02:15:53.851 --> 02:15:57.957 [Riv (DM)]: It's possible it was just something that I made up on the spot. 02:15:58.718 --> 02:16:07.411 [Riv (DM)]: And if you didn't add it to your inventory, then yeah, I just...

02:20:15.260 --> 02:20:16.542 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The sword? 02:20:17.163 --> 02:20:18.548 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:20:18.568 --> 02:20:23.768 [Riv (DM)]: You start casting the spell and focusing your magic on the sword itself. 02:20:24.471 --> 02:20:28.607 [Riv (DM)]: As you reach out to turn it over in your hands, you 02:20:29.532 --> 02:20:37.540 [Riv (DM)]: Immediately get struck by this just icy freezing feeling that almost makes your body go rigid and convulse slightly. 02:20:37.580 --> 02:20:42.285 [Riv (DM)]: This sword is ancient, like thousands of years old. 02:20:42.866 --> 02:20:48.732 [Riv (DM)]: The number of souls that it has taken, the amount of death, the amount of suffering just courses through your body in like an instant. 02:20:48.772 --> 02:20:56.400 [Riv (DM)]: You see generations of people dying and being brought back to life and dying throughout time. 02:20:59.047 --> 02:20:59.688 [Riv (DM)]: I will... 02:20:59.828 --> 02:21:00.229 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Wait, what? 02:21:01.991 --> 02:21:03.753 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I see people being brought back to life. 02:21:05.115 --> 02:21:12.184 [Riv (DM)]: I'll add the item to your character sheet and you can read it out to the rest of the group and see what it does. 02:21:12.624 --> 02:21:15.188 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's mildly terrifying. 02:21:17.130 --> 02:21:23.198 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dread's Hunger, forged from black steel streaked with faint crimson veins. 02:21:23.549 --> 02:21:25.893 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dreadhunter hums with necrotic purpose. 02:21:26.694 --> 02:21:31.842 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: When you grip the hilt, its pulse quickens and your life essence seems to flow into the blade. 02:21:33.144 --> 02:21:37.090 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: One plus bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapons. 02:21:40.956 --> 02:21:41.557 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Soulstrike. 02:21:41.617 --> 02:21:47.647 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: When you hit a creature with this weapon, you extend up to three of your hit dice for each hit dice expended. 02:21:48.708 --> 02:21:49.810 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Roll your hit die. 02:21:51.005 --> 02:21:53.848 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The die you use to regain HP, blah blah blah. 02:21:55.010 --> 02:21:57.793 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And add your constitution modifier. 02:21:58.253 --> 02:22:00.536 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The target takes the total as necrotic damage. 02:22:01.957 --> 02:22:08.745 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Decide how many hit die to extend after you see the results of the attack roll, but before you deal damage. 02:22:11.869 --> 02:22:13.030 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Aurora of the Dead. 02:22:14.242 --> 02:22:18.727 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: When you hit a creature with this weapon, you extend forehead die to release a wave of terror. 02:22:19.448 --> 02:22:26.977 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Each creature of your choice within 30 feet must succeed in a DC 15 saving throw or be frightened of you for one minute. 02:22:28.459 --> 02:22:36.148 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. 02:22:38.558 --> 02:22:39.619 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The Fallen. 02:22:40.340 --> 02:22:50.952 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: When you reduce a humanoid to zero hit points with this weapon, you can expend four hit dice to reanimate its corpse as a zombie under your control for one hour. 02:22:51.833 --> 02:22:55.177 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You can control only one zombie created this way at a time. 02:22:55.798 --> 02:22:58.481 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If you animate another, the previous one crumbles to dust. 02:23:00.624 --> 02:23:01.925 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Undead Resonance. 02:23:02.506 --> 02:23:07.131 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If you are undead, you can use these properties without expending a hit dice. 02:23:09.997 --> 02:23:11.158 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Range of five feet. 02:23:12.400 --> 02:23:25.476 [Riv (DM)]: I think you, while sort of taking this in, you instinctively drop it to the ground and it clatters and you almost all hear kind of like a angry growl or screech into your minds as this happens. 02:23:27.178 --> 02:23:27.578 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Jesus. 02:23:29.801 --> 02:23:31.583 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's a sword I would destroy if I could. 02:23:33.505 --> 02:23:36.389 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yep. 02:23:36.409 --> 02:23:38.451 [Vael (Berberis)]: I am already hitting him. 02:23:39.747 --> 02:23:40.248 [Vael (Berberis)]: Backing up. 02:23:43.312 --> 02:23:45.855 [Vael (Berberis)]: And a character that's still bonkers. 02:23:51.302 --> 02:23:58.211 [Vael (Berberis)]: When you do burn a hit die, is it the roll of the hit die that it adds, or is it just the number of hit die? 02:23:58.912 --> 02:24:00.174 [Riv (DM)]: It's the roll of the hit die, yeah. 02:24:00.274 --> 02:24:01.015 [Riv (DM)]: He posted it. 02:24:01.035 --> 02:24:05.721 [Riv (DM)]: So, for example, if you are a fighter, you'll deal more damage than if you are a mage. 02:24:09.346 --> 02:24:12.113 [Vael (Berberis)]: I know I roll like a D10 as a hit die as a ranger. 02:24:14.238 --> 02:24:20.773 [Riv (DM)]: It's a trade-off though because it burns your hit dice that you cannot then use for short rests. 02:24:21.114 --> 02:24:22.056 [Riv (DM)]: Limited usage. 02:24:24.770 --> 02:24:26.212 [Riv (DM)]: There you go, there's Dread's Hunger. 02:24:27.855 --> 02:24:29.117 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, it's Marshall. 02:24:29.137 --> 02:24:30.599 [Riv (DM)]: It's a longsword essentially. 02:24:31.441 --> 02:24:42.818 [Riv (DM)]: When you look at it, it's close to being a greatsword, like it's massive and clearly intended to be worn over the shoulder, but it's not quite a massive hunk of steel like a greatsword, it's more of a longsword. 02:24:43.339 --> 02:24:48.087 [Riv (DM)]: Probably best welded with two hands, but functionally, like mechanically, it's a longsword. 02:24:48.788 --> 02:24:51.452 [Vael (Berberis)]: I just want to check, is that all of the effect? 02:24:53.035 --> 02:24:53.816 [Vael (Berberis)]: What do you mean? 02:24:53.896 --> 02:24:58.841 [Vael (Berberis)]: Or is there something we don't know yet or we might not know yet? 02:24:58.921 --> 02:25:00.883 [Riv (DM)]: That's the text on the magic item. 02:25:02.145 --> 02:25:03.566 [Vael (Berberis)]: Cause that shit is cursed. 02:25:08.952 --> 02:25:13.216 [Lacer (Kai)]: You know it, I know it, that shit is cursed. 02:25:13.236 --> 02:25:17.120 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's just put that back in the bag of holding for now. 02:25:17.140 --> 02:25:20.764 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can we have a separate bag of holding for cursed side-ups? 02:25:22.668 --> 02:25:30.621 [JC (Ryo)]: Um, Riv, it says not proficient, I'm reading, it says not proficient, is that just because Kiwi, uh, Dondar rolled, uh, put it in this text? 02:25:30.641 --> 02:25:32.243 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it'll be hit from his, yeah. 02:25:34.647 --> 02:25:42.379 [Riv (DM)]: Um, if you, I'll, I'll stick into the bag of holdings so you guys can all look at it, um, if, I'll assume that's what Dondar did, and I'll just remove it from your character sheet, Dondar. 02:25:42.780 --> 02:25:43.421 [Riv (DM)]: Uh huh. 02:25:43.441 --> 02:25:45.925 [Riv (DM)]: There you go, alrighty, which one do we want to look at next? 02:25:50.393 --> 02:25:52.396 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's go with the bag of feathers. 02:25:52.717 --> 02:25:53.558 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:25:54.660 --> 02:25:55.381 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Feathers then, yep. 02:25:55.601 --> 02:25:55.982 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Feathers. 02:25:56.282 --> 02:26:15.692 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar, roll me three D100s as you pull out the three feathers and place them on the ground in front of you. 02:26:16.837 --> 02:26:17.418 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is that right? 02:26:19.341 --> 02:26:20.462 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That seemed like more than three. 02:26:21.163 --> 02:26:22.064 [Riv (DM)]: No, you're right. 02:26:22.245 --> 02:26:24.408 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, a D100, you roll two D10s. 02:26:24.428 --> 02:26:26.010 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so what have we got?

02:30:54.228 --> 02:31:21.349 [Riv (DM)]: Um yeah it's it's like it's steel it's it's not like any particularly special um type of armor like functionally if you were to keep it and use it it would have been just standard steel plate armor um right but yeah very clearly very like evil it's just it's had a long history yeah 02:31:21.717 --> 02:31:23.039 [Lacer (Kai)]: Steeped in blood. 02:31:23.399 --> 02:31:26.604 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Hundreds of thousands of people. 02:31:26.624 --> 02:31:28.767 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What about the scythes from the priestess?

Yeah, him and his merry men, like, dressed up as us. 02:37:34.937 --> 02:37:38.801 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not us, but like as in rebel armor. 02:37:39.162 --> 02:37:41.444 [Lacer (Kai)]: And they infiltrated and they extracted him. 02:37:42.626 --> 02:37:44.528 [Lacer (Kai)]: And they hightailed through the tunnel. 02:37:45.709 --> 02:37:47.672 [Lacer (Kai)]: Collapsed the tunnel. 02:37:47.692 --> 02:37:49.474 [Lacer (Kai)]: And we only just barely missed them. 02:37:56.153 --> 02:37:56.755 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:37:58.060 --> 02:37:58.301 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:37:58.361 --> 02:38:07.193 [Riv (DM)]: So, let's say as you come out into the morning, popping out into the corridor now, you can see now the 02:38:07.308 --> 02:38:10.071 [Riv (DM)]: Many more people have started to come through. 02:38:10.131 --> 02:38:13.014 [Riv (DM)]: There's people sort of rushing to and fro, preparing food. 02:38:14.436 --> 02:38:19.982 [Riv (DM)]: Just, you know, maybe there are new groups of civilians that are coming in that are people trying to usher through to find lodgings for them. 02:38:20.843 --> 02:38:24.246 [Riv (DM)]: Plenty more soldiers around this time of the day. 02:38:24.687 --> 02:38:33.096 [Riv (DM)]: And as you come out, one of them just steps over, same one that you were speaking to last night, and nods and says, 02:38:34.882 --> 02:38:35.302 [Riv (DM)]: Good morning. 02:38:35.743 --> 02:38:37.645 [Riv (DM)]: Good to see you up and about. 02:38:38.146 --> 02:38:44.532 [Riv (DM)]: When you're ready, the king did request to see you upstairs in the council chambers, if that's right. 02:38:50.959 --> 02:38:53.762 [Lacer (Kai)]: I grab a piece of fruit and I'm ready to go. 02:38:54.303 --> 02:38:58.668 [Lacer (Kai)]: I start munching an apple or something. 02:38:58.688 --> 02:38:58.768 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:38:58.788 --> 02:38:58.948 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:39:04.109 --> 02:39:22.607 [Riv (DM)]: You can head up the steps this time from the main landing area and the guard leads you back deeper into the keep until eventually a set of double doors slightly larger than the typical ones that you've seen so far that he sort of knocks, pokes his head in and then just 02:39:22.587 --> 02:39:37.869 [Riv (DM)]: Nods to you, holds the door open and you can enter and you can see this is a long room, big row of windows along the side that look down out across the city and from this view you can see now as the clouds and the storm have started to part a little bit. 02:39:38.270 --> 02:39:44.038 [Riv (DM)]: The city in sort of varying states of rule and you can see patches of smoke burning here and there. 02:39:44.963 --> 02:39:54.135 [Riv (DM)]: And the kind of tense and just general wear and tear of many weeks or months of occupation. 02:39:54.656 --> 02:39:57.059 [Riv (DM)]: But inside the room there is a very long table. 02:39:57.640 --> 02:40:04.069 [Riv (DM)]: There are boards with sort of notes and sketches that are pinned up. 02:40:04.049 --> 02:40:06.072 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah at the head of the table you see Marius. 02:40:07.334 --> 02:40:29.685 [Riv (DM)]: To his right there is a woman kind of youngish looking maybe late 20s early 30s just wearing nice but not ostentatious sort of black sort of sort of black clothing with a with a simple cloak and to his left you can see the same captain that was 02:40:29.665 --> 02:40:32.630 [Riv (DM)]: You would have seen him on one of the earlier nights. 02:40:32.871 --> 02:40:36.016 [Riv (DM)]: Captain Erendir, current commander of the Loyalists. 02:40:37.319 --> 02:40:40.685 [Riv (DM)]: Barrack Stormrider is also here a little bit further down the road, down the table. 02:40:41.065 --> 02:40:42.548 [Riv (DM)]: He nods to you as you enter. 02:40:43.289 --> 02:40:44.612 [Riv (DM)]: And plus a bunch of other people. 02:40:44.672 --> 02:40:53.327 [Riv (DM)]: You can see a few sort of noble looking lords and ladies, a few other more soldiery, military looking people. 02:40:53.307 --> 02:40:58.573 [Riv (DM)]: And Marius himself at the head of the table, just looking haggard and exhausted. 02:40:59.114 --> 02:41:06.663 [Riv (DM)]: Dark, dark, dark bags under his eyes, almost slumping, but as you enter his eyes snap to attention. 02:41:07.905 --> 02:41:13.932 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, looks at you sort of appreciatively and seems to brighten as you come in. 02:41:15.548 --> 02:41:17.170 [Riv (DM)]: And he stands. 02:41:17.450 --> 02:41:19.172 [Riv (DM)]: He stands a bit and just gestures. 02:41:19.933 --> 02:41:22.536 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, my friends, please, please come in. 02:41:23.618 --> 02:41:28.303 [Riv (DM)]: We've been discussing much this morning, but we didn't wish to wake you until you were fully rested. 02:41:29.685 --> 02:41:30.066 [Riv (DM)]: Please come. 02:41:30.786 --> 02:41:32.348 [Riv (DM)]: Any sort of gestures for you to come closer. 02:41:39.737 --> 02:41:40.178 [Vael (Berberis)]: Wonder Runner? 02:41:43.802 --> 02:41:44.543 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:41:46.295 --> 02:41:51.060 [Riv (DM)]: We've been discussing the next best steps. 02:41:51.080 --> 02:41:54.624 [Riv (DM)]: This is most of my sort of closest council members. 02:41:55.005 --> 02:41:57.247 [Riv (DM)]: I believe you know Beric already and Captain Erundir. 02:41:58.128 --> 02:42:01.192 [Riv (DM)]: This is Ayanna Wynne, my closest advisor. 02:42:01.652 --> 02:42:03.314 [Riv (DM)]: She's been with me since the beginning of this. 02:42:03.434 --> 02:42:12.184 [Riv (DM)]: In fact, she sort of just smiles coyly and she says, um, you don't have to tell everyone about this. 02:42:12.164 --> 02:42:16.290 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I think credit is deserved where credit is due, right? 02:42:16.630 --> 02:42:21.538 [Riv (DM)]: She was roughly the one who convinced me to even begin this whole thing in the first place. 02:42:22.058 --> 02:42:32.593 [Riv (DM)]: She saw a weakening in the forces and advised me and convinced me and had really helped me to strike when the time was right. 02:42:33.214 --> 02:42:35.758 [Riv (DM)]: And I think it's for the most part. 02:42:35.738 --> 02:42:40.345 [Riv (DM)]: Got us where we are today, and so... 02:42:41.126 --> 02:42:42.308 [Riv (DM)]: I lean on her knowledge extensively. 02:42:44.070 --> 02:42:44.591 [Riv (DM)]: She just nods. 02:42:44.691 --> 02:42:45.673 [Lacer (Kai)]: Insight check. 02:42:46.734 --> 02:42:48.036 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, who are you insight checking? 02:42:50.400 --> 02:42:52.603 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is her name Elana? 02:42:52.623 --> 02:42:53.144 [Riv (DM)]: Ayana. 02:42:53.364 --> 02:42:54.426 [Riv (DM)]: A-Y-A-N-A. 02:42:54.806 --> 02:42:55.587 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ayana. 02:42:55.888 --> 02:42:56.148 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:42:56.368 --> 02:42:58.251 [Lacer (Kai)]: I wanna see if she loves the king. 02:42:58.492 --> 02:42:59.133 [Lacer (Kai)]: If they're a thing. 02:42:59.753 --> 02:43:00.334 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, okay. 02:43:00.354 --> 02:43:01.476 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, roll an insight check. 02:43:15.547 --> 02:43:18.233 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 02:43:18.253 --> 02:43:25.288 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, from what you can tell, she seems completely pleasant and completely comfortable and happy with Marius. 02:43:27.353 --> 02:43:32.644 [Riv (DM)]: No other weird particular feelings or emotions stand out. 02:43:34.936 --> 02:43:54.143 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, well, I guess to the business at hand, before we made any firm or solid decisions, I suggested and Barak agreed with me here, let me say Barak nods again, that we would be foolish not to bring you into the fold and at least hear from you guys as you have now 02:43:55.507 --> 02:44:13.498 [Riv (DM)]: You've now had your share fair of experience in the city and have in fact been deep into deep into their territory and so you may be best to actually give us some clear insight and maybe some fresh eyes so we have been discussing how best to take our next step 02:44:13.765 --> 02:44:19.232 [Riv (DM)]: Personally, I feel that we're in a strong position now to potentially end this once and for all. 02:44:19.813 --> 02:44:21.295 [Riv (DM)]: Their leadership has been destroyed. 02:44:21.335 --> 02:44:30.006 [Riv (DM)]: The remaining captains may have a power struggle to even see who will take up the mantle of the next commander. 02:44:30.847 --> 02:44:34.191 [Riv (DM)]: And while this is happening, morale will sure to be low. 02:44:34.231 --> 02:44:37.615 [Riv (DM)]: And so the decision must be made. 02:44:37.916 --> 02:44:38.997 [Riv (DM)]: How do we go about this? 02:44:43.972 --> 02:44:46.155 [Riv (DM)]: One thing that is considered... 02:44:46.175 --> 02:44:46.476 [Riv (DM)]: I have an idea. 02:44:46.496 --> 02:44:47.257 [Riv (DM)]: Please, go ahead. 02:44:50.142 --> 02:44:52.966 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have magical means to write in the sky. 02:44:53.347 --> 02:45:00.478 [Lacer (Kai)]: If you want to intimidate the enemy, we could write in the sky something like, General is dead. 02:45:01.119 --> 02:45:02.581 [Lacer (Kai)]: Submit or die. 02:45:03.002 --> 02:45:08.410 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or whatever you want me to say right into the sky to announce this to the world. 02:45:11.191 --> 02:45:11.832 [Riv (DM)]: He nods. 02:45:12.833 --> 02:45:13.674 [Riv (DM)]: I like the idea, yeah. 02:45:13.694 --> 02:45:22.347 [Riv (DM)]: If there are any stragglers that haven't quite heard the word yet, it would do wonders to at least attempt to help demoralise them, for sure. 02:45:22.427 --> 02:45:24.670 [Riv (DM)]: We can add that to the arsenal. 02:45:26.613 --> 02:45:27.314 [Riv (DM)]: We've been tossing up. 02:45:29.557 --> 02:45:30.438 [Vael (Berberis)]: Berberis, please. 02:45:32.501 --> 02:45:33.182 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'll just gossip. 02:45:33.482 --> 02:45:35.545 [Vael (Berberis)]: I think after a little scuffle last night, 02:45:35.963 --> 02:45:41.212 [Vael (Berberis)]: Anyone out there in that camp that doesn't know he's dead by now is either deaf, blind or stupid. 02:45:43.476 --> 02:45:59.322 [Riv (DM)]: I had assumed the same but more intimidation and more messaging of the such that Kai suggests can only be beneficial if it even just breaks a few percent of their forces that will lend itself to our favor. 02:45:59.605 --> 02:46:00.646 [Riv (DM)]: So here's what we could do. 02:46:01.487 --> 02:46:11.541 [Riv (DM)]: We can marshal our forces, make a proclamation that they are to stand down, surrender their weapons, and we will be lenient and allow them to leave. 02:46:13.723 --> 02:46:17.929 [Riv (DM)]: Or even take some of them in if they wish to dissent from the Empire. 02:46:20.232 --> 02:46:21.073 [Riv (DM)]: Here's the thing though. 02:46:22.387 --> 02:46:34.744 [Riv (DM)]: My soldiers have told me, have informed me from this morning that much of the Imperial forces have been seen lining up and enforcing their side of the river. 02:46:35.685 --> 02:46:38.089 [Riv (DM)]: It seems as if they had big plans for today. 02:46:38.149 --> 02:46:41.253 [Riv (DM)]: Plans that yourselves may have disrupted. 02:46:43.196 --> 02:46:48.563 [Riv (DM)]: With them all in one place like that, it potentially lends us to some alternatives. 02:46:50.551 --> 02:46:51.476 [Riv (DM)]: Is now the time to strike. 02:46:52.481 --> 02:46:57.287 [Riv (DM)]: We could forge open war against them and try to crush their forces now that we have them all in one place. 02:47:00.187 --> 02:47:14.488 [Riv (DM)]: Some of the other lords and nobles down the edge of the table are kind of nodding in agreement at this point, and one of them sort of raises his hand and says, Yeah, I do think this is probably the wisest choice. 02:47:14.528 --> 02:47:15.950 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't we just end it once and for all? 02:47:16.170 --> 02:47:16.971 [Riv (DM)]: Our men are strong. 02:47:16.991 --> 02:47:17.753 [Riv (DM)]: We know the city well. 02:47:18.874 --> 02:47:24.923 [Riv (DM)]: Another one, a woman across the table from him says, Yes, but it is a bottleneck across the bridge. 02:47:25.384 --> 02:47:26.966 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't really matter how many forces you've got. 02:47:27.026 --> 02:47:29.029 [Riv (DM)]: At that choke point, 02:47:29.870 --> 02:47:35.866 [Riv (DM)]: The soldiers will just be crushing against each other, and many will fall just to archers, surely, from either side. 02:47:37.792 --> 02:47:38.855 [Riv (DM)]: Marius raises his hand. 02:47:38.875 --> 02:47:39.978 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'll speak up for the First Lord. 02:47:40.339 --> 02:47:41.181 [Vael (Berberis)]: Ah, wonderful, my lord. 02:47:41.221 --> 02:47:44.149 [Vael (Berberis)]: I assume you will be at the forefront of the charge, leading the men? 02:47:44.939 --> 02:47:46.041 [Vael (Berberis)]: First into the throw and all. 02:47:46.902 --> 02:47:53.893 [Riv (DM)]: Oh um oh yeah uh of course undoubtedly he um coughs and covers his embarrassment a little bit. 02:47:55.375 --> 02:48:04.790 [Riv (DM)]: Marius just chuckles a little bit that's um it's it's friends it's fine it's fine we're just here to try and figure out the best way to get through this um DM. 02:48:04.810 --> 02:48:07.234 [JC (Ryo)]: Even with their leadership shattered aren't we still outnumbered? 02:48:09.458 --> 02:48:16.927 [Riv (DM)]: From our last estimates, they have in the order of a few thousand soldiers, potentially close to three or four. 02:48:16.967 --> 02:48:23.434 [Riv (DM)]: This is close to ours and this has been the heart of the matter for the last few weeks. 02:48:23.875 --> 02:48:31.804 [Riv (DM)]: We've been at a stalemate because our forces have been roughly equal and stuck as we have been on each side of the river. 02:48:33.860 --> 02:48:43.530 [Riv (DM)]: Any serious incursions would potentially lead to loss of forces and could swing the tides unfortunately one way or the other. 02:48:45.512 --> 02:48:57.805 [Riv (DM)]: Saying that though, as you'll recall from last night, the Empire did commit some many soldiers to their little trick down on the bridge and so it's possible that we actually have the edge on them now. 02:49:02.170 --> 02:49:02.550 [Riv (DM)]: However, 02:49:03.830 --> 02:49:08.396 [Riv (DM)]: That said, what Lady Elyra said does have some merit. 02:49:09.318 --> 02:49:14.685 [Riv (DM)]: The bridge is a choke point and many of our forces would be lost unnecessarily. 02:49:16.087 --> 02:49:30.647 [Riv (DM)]: If there were a way to transport our soldiers across the river, further down or upstream, potentially out of sight from the Empire, even if it's a few hundred, 02:49:31.842 --> 02:49:35.928 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe several hundred soldiers of ours striking at them from both sides. 02:49:37.029 --> 02:49:45.361 [Riv (DM)]: It would split their forces and we could potentially crush their morale even further than it already is and attack them from all sides. 02:49:49.767 --> 02:49:51.349 [Riv (DM)]: Question then becomes though, how would we do that? 02:49:51.429 --> 02:49:53.492 [Riv (DM)]: How would we get our soldiers across the river unseen? 02:49:53.512 --> 02:49:58.739 [Lacer (Kai)]: We have the tunnel, the tunnel we went through last night. 02:50:00.962 --> 02:50:01.663 [Lacer (Kai)]: Indeed. 02:50:03.280 --> 02:50:04.462 [Lacer (Kai)]: But they weren't expecting. 02:50:05.804 --> 02:50:08.148 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, only if anyone left alive still knows about it. 02:50:09.490 --> 02:50:13.516 [Riv (DM)]: Or if they've even had leadership ready to reinforce it. 02:50:15.700 --> 02:50:19.285 [Riv (DM)]: For all we know, they've been in complete shambles trying to even figure out what on earth is going on. 02:50:21.188 --> 02:50:22.791 [Riv (DM)]: It's worth a look. 02:50:22.973 --> 02:50:26.259 [Vael (Berberis)]: When was the last time we tried to talk with them? 02:50:26.760 --> 02:50:27.341 [Vael (Berberis)]: An emissary. 02:50:29.505 --> 02:50:33.853 [Vael (Berberis)]: We didn't know the state of their leadership before we tried to break them, one way or another. 02:50:33.873 --> 02:50:35.596 [Riv (DM)]: There was no conversing to be had with that man. 02:50:37.520 --> 02:50:38.822 [Riv (DM)]: He's dead now. 02:50:38.842 --> 02:50:39.363 [Unmatched Speaker]: He's dead. 02:50:39.644 --> 02:50:40.906 [Riv (DM)]: Times have changed. 02:50:40.926 --> 02:50:41.387 [Riv (DM)]: He is. 02:50:45.569 --> 02:50:52.697 [Vael (Berberis)]: Perhaps before we commit more bodies to the fray, more blood to the river, we should see if there's a word to be heard. 02:50:52.737 --> 02:50:59.745 [Vael (Berberis)]: And if that fails, we'll force them to talk. 02:50:59.765 --> 02:51:01.908 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, maybe craft a message. 02:51:02.368 --> 02:51:04.531 [Lacer (Kai)]: Craft a side on a message and I'll skywrite. 02:51:05.792 --> 02:51:06.473 [Lacer (Kai)]: See what happens. 02:51:08.195 --> 02:51:09.937 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, we could just go with the old-fashioned ways. 02:51:12.180 --> 02:51:13.281 [Vael (Berberis)]: Light flag on a stick. 02:51:14.560 --> 02:51:18.925 [Vael (Berberis)]: A white flag doesn't mean surrender. 02:51:18.945 --> 02:51:20.546 [Vael (Berberis)]: A white flag is a symbol to parley. 02:51:24.530 --> 02:51:26.473 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:51:26.493 --> 02:51:27.233 [Riv (DM)]: It is a possibility. 02:51:27.474 --> 02:51:35.102 [Riv (DM)]: It is a possibility that this lack of morale and change of leadership has made the landscape different. 02:51:37.925 --> 02:51:39.106 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:51:39.126 --> 02:51:39.807 [Riv (DM)]: Let's get word to them.

God, you saved ol' Norin's arse back there. 02:56:10.373 --> 02:56:11.734 [Riv (DM)]: He's gotta be owing you guys a big debt. 02:56:18.241 --> 02:56:28.513 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I just grabbed, uh, you know, holped my hand over a couple of those arrows where I go, yeah, I guess that play was fun. 02:56:28.533 --> 02:56:28.613 [Riv (DM)]: Fun. 02:56:28.633 --> 02:56:29.714 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, as always. 02:56:30.315 --> 02:56:30.575 [Riv (DM)]: Fun. 02:56:31.596 --> 02:56:35.020 [Riv (DM)]: Well hey, I do seem to recall a time when 02:56:36.113 --> 02:56:48.486 [Riv (DM)]: You completely blew up a ship with a keg of gunpowder and I myself managed to get a hole in one of my arms from a bit of shrapnel so it seems like you guys are well used to getting filled with holes. 02:56:51.689 --> 02:56:53.251 [Riv (DM)]: Speaking of short, that's a good thing. 02:57:00.778 --> 02:57:01.219 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What was that? 02:57:01.379 --> 02:57:02.560 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, one of you will have to go. 02:57:06.607 --> 02:57:14.886 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm not sure it's a good thing you're used to getting filled with holes as much as we are. 02:57:17.512 --> 02:57:17.632 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Ah. 02:57:20.378 --> 02:57:22.743 [Riv (DM)]: Keeps you quick on your toes, eh? 02:57:23.926 --> 02:57:24.868 [Riv (DM)]: Who wants a quiet life? 02:57:29.624 --> 02:57:33.268 [Riv (DM)]: Well, is there anything I can do to help you today? 02:57:33.308 --> 02:57:35.611 [Riv (DM)]: Do you need introductions to anyone? 02:57:35.631 --> 02:57:41.859 [Riv (DM)]: I was gonna head back down to the crew and get them ready for potential conflict tonight. 02:57:44.702 --> 02:57:49.348 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm sure we've scouted all ways across the river in the many weeks this siege has been going on. 02:57:51.370 --> 02:57:55.896 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just a random thought, is the river frozen or is it still liquid? 02:57:57.298 --> 02:57:59.260 [Riv (DM)]: River is liquid, yeah. 02:57:59.476 --> 02:58:01.398 [Vael (Berberis)]: How wide is the river? 02:58:01.778 --> 02:58:05.902 [Vael (Berberis)]: And how long is the ship? 02:58:05.922 --> 02:58:08.544 [Riv (DM)]: The river is about 100 feet wide. 02:58:10.386 --> 02:58:11.066 [Vael (Berberis)]: Not that wide. 02:58:11.387 --> 02:58:12.508 [Vael (Berberis)]: It's only like 30 meters. 02:58:14.630 --> 02:58:15.591 [Vael (Berberis)]: How long is the ship? 02:58:17.973 --> 02:58:19.014 [Riv (DM)]: Depends which type of ship. 02:58:21.836 --> 02:58:24.839 [Vael (Berberis)]: Is it a ship that we have available to get into the river? 02:58:27.902 --> 02:58:28.302 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 02:58:31.488 --> 02:58:38.138 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, the albatross was a bit over 100 feet long. 02:58:41.042 --> 02:58:43.446 [Vael (Berberis)]: Sacrifice the albatross as a bridge. 02:58:43.846 --> 02:58:49.194 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, really, 30 meters, like, a ship would be like filling the entire river, wouldn't it? 02:58:49.835 --> 02:58:51.157 [Riv (DM)]: Ship could fit, yeah. 02:58:53.060 --> 02:58:56.084 [Riv (DM)]: You'd have to... Barrack, I assume you're saying this to Barrack, right? 02:58:56.285 --> 02:58:58.548 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, I'm talking to Barrack, thinking out loud. 02:58:59.469 --> 02:59:01.292 [Vael (Berberis)]: Barrack's sort of scratching his head. 02:59:02.285 --> 02:59:03.011 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting idea. 02:59:03.031 --> 02:59:06.338 [Riv (DM)]: You'd have to sail it up from the shore. 02:59:08.022 --> 02:59:12.327 [Vael (Berberis)]: The gate wasn't really intended... Can you even talk to the gate via the river? 02:59:12.347 --> 02:59:13.388 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's another question. 02:59:14.109 --> 02:59:19.254 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm sure there's a river gate or sea gate to stop big boats just walking in freely. 02:59:19.875 --> 02:59:26.823 [Riv (DM)]: Indeed, the gate here at Val Noren was not really intended to allow such large ships to enter. 02:59:26.883 --> 02:59:29.766 [Riv (DM)]: Smaller sort of merchant boats, sure. 02:59:29.886 --> 02:59:30.827 [Riv (DM)]: Fishing boats, sure. 02:59:30.947 --> 02:59:34.011 [Riv (DM)]: But ships the size of Elbertross would struggle. 02:59:34.972 --> 02:59:36.173 [Riv (DM)]: Unless... 02:59:37.756 --> 02:59:44.488 [Riv (DM)]: At this, his eyes sort of start to look up and he gets a devilish smile across his face. 02:59:45.269 --> 02:59:46.551 [Riv (DM)]: We could blow up the gate. 02:59:48.515 --> 02:59:51.700 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh lord. 02:59:51.740 --> 02:59:54.365 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You're spending too much time with us. 02:59:56.428 --> 02:59:59.494 [JC (Ryo)]: It wouldn't be exactly- I mean, he introduced us to the powder. 03:00:00.335 --> 03:00:03.240 [Riv (DM)]: But it would let my ship through. 03:00:05.515 --> 03:00:08.078 [Vael (Berberis)]: And the ship could act as a makeshift bridge? 03:00:08.559 --> 03:00:09.279 [Riv (DM)]: Absolutely could. 03:00:09.420 --> 03:00:13.444 [Lacer (Kai)]: And you can man the cannons and broadside the ship against the enemy soldiers. 03:00:14.606 --> 03:00:17.829 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I'm liking the sound of this. 03:00:18.650 --> 03:00:23.636 [Riv (DM)]: Although if my ship gets damaged and destroyed, I'll be looking to you guys. 03:00:24.357 --> 03:00:24.918 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, I kid. 03:00:26.640 --> 03:00:28.302 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe we should go and have a look at that gate. 03:00:28.482 --> 03:00:30.024 [Riv (DM)]: Something the King owes us? 03:00:30.965 --> 03:00:32.106 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The King owes us, right? 03:00:33.287 --> 03:00:33.868 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Exactly. 03:00:35.249 --> 03:00:36.291 [Vael (Berberis)]: I do like that ship though. 03:00:38.516 --> 03:00:39.398 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm sure we could find... 03:00:39.858 --> 03:00:44.829 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm sure there's a big barge or something that we could use if needed. 03:00:44.869 --> 03:00:54.709 [Riv (DM)]: The problem is most of the docks are currently under the control of the Empire, although if... 03:00:55.128 --> 03:00:57.832 [Riv (DM)]: They've pulled all of their forces inside the walls now. 03:00:57.912 --> 03:00:59.715 [Riv (DM)]: They might be at a skeleton crew down there. 03:00:59.755 --> 03:01:06.204 [Riv (DM)]: Navigating the barge up through the sea ice could be difficult, but I could probably manage it. 03:01:07.847 --> 03:01:17.521 [Riv (DM)]: We'd have to find a balance of a big enough barge that could fit that is also large enough to ferry people across in any reasonable numbers. 03:01:18.182 --> 03:01:18.763 [Riv (DM)]: Could work though. 03:01:20.586 --> 03:01:24.291 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm not thinking of ferry, I'm thinking turn it sideways. 03:01:27.764 --> 03:01:31.589 [Vael (Berberis)]: Platoon, if that word exists in the medieval. 03:01:34.913 --> 03:01:36.375 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, finding a barge that large. 03:01:38.578 --> 03:01:39.539 [Vael (Berberis)]: It's only 30 metres across. 03:01:39.919 --> 03:01:44.825 [Riv (DM)]: 30 metres is quite big for a ship. 03:01:44.845 --> 03:01:49.151 [Riv (DM)]: But we can potentially find a couple and try and lash them together. 03:01:49.191 --> 03:01:52.455 [Riv (DM)]: That could also work. 03:01:54.157 --> 03:01:55.198 [Vael (Berberis)]: Hmm. 03:01:55.219 --> 03:01:56.060 [Riv (DM)]: I'll go and chat with Aree. 03:01:56.080 --> 03:01:57.181 [Vael (Berberis)]: I don't think about it. 03:01:57.201 --> 03:01:57.502 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:01:58.203 --> 03:01:59.665 [Riv (DM)]: We might be able to suss something out there. 03:01:59.705 --> 03:02:03.030 [Riv (DM)]: She could probably navigate one and myself the other. 03:02:03.090 --> 03:02:07.676 [Riv (DM)]: We'd have to make sure that we have enough crew to man the oars as we would be heading upstream. 03:02:09.679 --> 03:02:10.360 [Riv (DM)]: It's possible though. 03:02:10.400 --> 03:02:14.406 [Riv (DM)]: The budge would have to find them, make sure they're low enough to be able to fit through the sea gate. 03:02:16.269 --> 03:02:17.751 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 03:02:17.771 --> 03:02:18.051 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 03:02:19.674 --> 03:02:20.355 [Riv (DM)]: Few possibilities here. 03:02:20.375 --> 03:02:22.678 [Vael (Berberis)]: Or you could hold out by the gate and bring the ship in. 03:02:24.802 --> 03:02:26.244 [Riv (DM)]: I think there's a couple of things we need to check. 03:02:26.284 --> 03:02:29.528 [Riv (DM)]: We need to check that gate to see what it might take to bring it down. 03:02:29.648 --> 03:02:31.650 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially there would be a way we could do it more quietly. 03:02:31.710 --> 03:02:35.335 [Riv (DM)]: That sounds like precisely the sort of thing that you guys would be good at doing. 03:02:35.856 --> 03:02:40.061 [Riv (DM)]: I'll chat with Ahri, see if she can recall there being any barges down there in the dock. 03:02:43.184 --> 03:02:43.945 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, and then we're... 03:02:43.965 --> 03:02:48.531 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Destroying the gate make the city supremely vulnerable to any other ships?

03:15:52.248 --> 03:15:53.149 [Riv (DM)]: Two d20s. 03:15:58.456 --> 03:15:58.797 [JC (Ryo)]: Yes. 03:16:02.282 --> 03:16:02.522 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 03:16:03.183 --> 03:16:03.744 [Riv (DM)]: Double 12s. 03:16:04.905 --> 03:16:05.747 [Riv (DM)]: That's good, that's fine. 03:16:05.827 --> 03:16:12.456 [Riv (DM)]: I think when you see Jorund he says to you that they are... 03:16:15.237 --> 03:16:17.901 [Riv (DM)]: He didn't quite blow himself up. 03:16:17.921 --> 03:16:20.425 [Riv (DM)]: He kept them mostly under control as he was tinkering a bit. 03:16:21.728 --> 03:16:23.771 [Riv (DM)]: So you can add two smoke powder arrows. 03:16:23.871 --> 03:16:31.303 [Riv (DM)]: These ones are stable so they won't have any randomness and they are an extra 2d6 fire and force damage. 03:16:35.089 --> 03:16:36.632 [JC (Ryo)]: So the same one I've left in my inventory? 03:16:39.857 --> 03:16:41.059 [Riv (DM)]: Possibly, is that what that one says? 03:16:42.794 --> 03:16:45.438 [JC (Ryo)]: Well, 4d6 fire and force damage with a 10 second fuse. 03:16:46.219 --> 03:16:47.040 [JC (Ryo)]: That's what I hand wrote. 03:16:49.003 --> 03:16:52.128 [Riv (DM)]: These ones will be 2d6 because the roll wasn't quite as high. 03:16:53.290 --> 03:16:55.193 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, they're 2, alright. 03:16:55.213 --> 03:16:56.855 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: 2d6 but they're stable. 03:16:57.376 --> 03:16:57.636 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah. 03:16:59.039 --> 03:17:00.320 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, this one was stable as well. 03:17:01.963 --> 03:17:04.066 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I think you rolled super high or something on one of them. 03:17:04.527 --> 03:17:07.992 [Riv (DM)]: It was a DC 20 for 4d6. 03:17:12.359 --> 03:17:13.020 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 03:17:19.969 --> 03:17:23.034 [Riv (DM)]: So, I guess for the rest of the day there are a few things we can look at doing. 03:17:23.054 --> 03:17:25.056 [Riv (DM)]: Do you guys want to go and look at the gate? 03:17:25.737 --> 03:17:27.840 [Riv (DM)]: Or potentially go and investigate the docks? 03:17:28.762 --> 03:17:29.503 [Riv (DM)]: Or anything else? 03:17:32.707 --> 03:17:39.136 [Lacer (Kai)]: If you guys are going down to the gate, Kai would like to go to the temple. 03:17:39.677 --> 03:17:42.180 [Lacer (Kai)]: Teach the clerics some magic. 03:17:45.755 --> 03:17:47.097 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 03:17:47.919 --> 03:17:51.025 [Riv (DM)]: By temple, do you mean the St. Eveline's? 03:17:51.045 --> 03:17:58.999 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, St. Ev... And did you say teach the clerics some magic? 03:18:01.263 --> 03:18:03.387 [Lacer (Kai)]: Some ways to use cantrips. 03:18:04.269 --> 03:18:04.489 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:18:05.465 --> 03:18:11.776 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so you see Ilaris is still here doing her thing, taking care of a few people. 03:18:11.816 --> 03:18:16.685 [Riv (DM)]: There are a couple of other sort of local priests who work here. 03:18:16.825 --> 03:18:18.708 [Riv (DM)]: You meet one of them, Brother Callum. 03:18:20.551 --> 03:18:23.777 [Riv (DM)]: Older sort of man, pretty wary looking. 03:18:23.757 --> 03:18:31.251 [Riv (DM)]: Extremely selfless and has spent most of his energy his entire life on helping people and you can see that the toll is finally starting to catch up with him. 03:18:31.872 --> 03:18:39.707 [Riv (DM)]: And then there's a younger dwarven woman called Dara Ironleaf who's more on the, I guess you could say, like, 03:18:39.687 --> 03:18:46.501 [Riv (DM)]: Herbalistic side, she's more druidic but found a place here as well helping the people getting their injuries healed. 03:18:47.723 --> 03:18:54.056 [Riv (DM)]: She spends a bit of time out in the garden growing medicinal plants and stuff like that she can use within the temple. 03:18:55.098 --> 03:18:59.367 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah you can spend a bit of time with them and help them heal some people. 03:19:00.342 --> 03:19:12.936 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I just want to show them how to use prestigitation, if they have it, or if they can learn it, to clean bandages magically clean and shape water. 03:19:14.177 --> 03:19:22.847 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so the woman, Dara, she's a druid, she can do druid crafty stuff, but she is not that skilled at magic. 03:19:24.128 --> 03:19:27.632 [Riv (DM)]: Brother Calim gives it a try, he's... 03:19:27.612 --> 03:19:32.297 [Riv (DM)]: He's got some clerical abilities, why don't we... Actually, wait, Prestidigitation's a wizard spell, right? 03:19:34.720 --> 03:19:34.980 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 03:19:35.580 --> 03:19:39.184 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's unlikely you'll be able to teach that to him, to be completely honest. 03:19:39.545 --> 03:19:40.926 [Riv (DM)]: But you know what, let's give it a try. 03:19:40.966 --> 03:19:42.127 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't you just roll something? 03:19:42.208 --> 03:19:42.908 [Riv (DM)]: Let's see what happens. 03:19:43.889 --> 03:19:46.172 [Riv (DM)]: Roll a... Can I get him to roll something? 03:19:46.392 --> 03:19:48.294 [Riv (DM)]: Roll an arcana and I'll roll something for him as well. 03:19:50.596 --> 03:19:53.940 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You will be excommunicated from the Magic Circle. 03:20:01.514 --> 03:20:08.183 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so if he can beat you on an Arcana, then I think he's gonna win it. 03:20:08.364 --> 03:20:09.870 [Riv (DM)]: He's got a negative two to Arcana. 03:20:12.044 --> 03:20:15.889 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I guide him with Selenia? 03:20:15.909 --> 03:20:16.790 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I give him Guidance? 03:20:19.434 --> 03:20:22.538 [Riv (DM)]: Sure, okay fine, why not. 03:20:25.562 --> 03:20:27.965 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, here's that and then here is the Guidance. 03:20:28.887 --> 03:20:29.968 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I think you might be out of luck. 03:20:31.110 --> 03:20:32.111 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, it was a good Guidance though. 03:20:33.092 --> 03:20:33.853 [Riv (DM)]: Unfortunately, no. 03:20:34.714 --> 03:20:35.976 [Riv (DM)]: I mean he tries and 03:20:36.732 --> 03:20:37.313 [Lacer (Kai)]: Unlucky. 03:20:37.533 --> 03:20:47.145 [Riv (DM)]: He spent his whole life in the service of Torgar, so his mind is with healing and strengthening people and warding people. 03:20:47.765 --> 03:20:54.994 [Riv (DM)]: Being able to use arcane trickery is not up his alley, but he appreciates the time spent with you and has a good time. 03:20:55.014 --> 03:20:58.318 [Riv (DM)]: It almost seems to invigorate his energy a bit, spending some time with such a young fellow. 03:21:02.062 --> 03:21:07.389 [Lacer (Kai)]: So yeah, I spend the afternoon cleaning bandages and helping people heal. 03:21:07.409 --> 03:21:09.632 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:21:09.652 --> 03:21:13.477 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 03:21:13.497 --> 03:21:13.877 [Riv (DM)]: All good. 03:21:15.339 --> 03:21:23.209 [Riv (DM)]: Um, so did we, yeah, so what, what else was, I think, um, Berberis, you said you were saying before you wanted to do something? 03:21:26.041 --> 03:21:38.658 [Vael (Berberis)]: Oh no, let's just head down to the docks and combination of owl scouting and eye scouting and, well not docks but the gate slash docks because I'm sure they will be near each other, being both water adjacent. 03:21:39.119 --> 03:21:40.440 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 03:21:40.460 --> 03:21:41.161 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, okay cool. 03:21:41.462 --> 03:21:47.610 [Riv (DM)]: So, down towards the river gate. 03:21:49.902 --> 03:21:55.349 [Riv (DM)]: The gate itself is nearly wide enough to cover the full passage of the river. 03:21:57.392 --> 03:22:04.061 [Riv (DM)]: It looks like the sort of thing where the sort of portcullis, I guess you'd say, can be raised and lowered. 03:22:04.722 --> 03:22:11.050 [Riv (DM)]: And if it was raised then two sort of smaller ships or boats would pretty easily pass each other, either side. 03:22:11.030 --> 03:22:13.333 [Riv (DM)]: Unfortunately, however, though, it's not super tall. 03:22:13.493 --> 03:22:23.406 [Riv (DM)]: Like, tall enough for a sort of medium-sized ship to pass through, but a massive ship like the Albatross, its sails and its masts would be too tall to fit underneath it. 03:22:24.427 --> 03:22:32.397 [Riv (DM)]: But that said, though, kind of looking up, in theory, if you could sort of, like the wall 03:22:33.473 --> 03:22:43.148 [Riv (DM)]: There's a walkway over the top of the gate where it's arched underneath it and the portcullis sort of slides up the side of the walkway itself. 03:22:45.432 --> 03:22:53.625 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially, looks like if you had enough explosive maybe or some other way to try and break through the top of the archway on either side then 03:22:55.006 --> 03:22:56.168 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe it would make it collapse? 03:22:56.188 --> 03:22:57.349 [Riv (DM)]: So like, I'm imagining this, right? 03:22:57.730 --> 03:23:03.918 [Riv (DM)]: If the river's like this, you've got your big archway here, and the wall sort of carries on like this. 03:23:07.603 --> 03:23:18.617 [Riv (DM)]: So if you could like, if you could try and break here and here, then this whole area here would crumble down and potentially just give you enough space for the masts to come through. 03:23:21.078 --> 03:23:28.000 [Vael (Berberis)]: The other alternative, as opposed to bringing in one big ship and turning it sideways, is there lots of little boats? 03:23:28.382 --> 03:23:30.649 [Vael (Berberis)]: I would assume so being fishing stuff. 03:23:31.912 --> 03:23:40.539 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so the Mawbreakers themselves, and you could probably go and chat to Beric about this a bit more and find out what's going on. 03:23:41.540 --> 03:23:46.685 [Riv (DM)]: He would have told you that the fleet of the Mawbreakers is not docked at the main docks. 03:23:46.825 --> 03:23:54.532 [Riv (DM)]: They went wide around Val Noren and docked like further up north the coast so that they wouldn't be seen when they came to the city. 03:23:55.012 --> 03:23:57.694 [Riv (DM)]: And their ships would also be safe from Imperial control. 03:23:58.095 --> 03:24:01.918 [Riv (DM)]: So that docked like deep within a cove like further up around the coast. 03:24:01.898 --> 03:24:11.388 [Riv (DM)]: All of these ships are massive galleons essentially so they wouldn't have any up there but potentially down at the docks there might be some smaller ones. 03:24:13.450 --> 03:24:14.811 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah. 03:24:16.172 --> 03:24:18.635 [Vael (Berberis)]: Have you ever seen like a boat pontoon? 03:24:20.597 --> 03:24:22.539 [Vael (Berberis)]: Boat pontoon? 03:24:22.559 --> 03:24:23.880 [Vael (Berberis)]: Trying to find some good images. 03:24:28.124 --> 03:24:30.707 [Riv (DM)]: So like it looks like a big long flat sort of a thing? 03:24:31.750 --> 03:24:37.536 [Vael (Berberis)]: Basically, you get a heap of little boats, line them up next to each other and then run a big flat platform over the top of them. 03:24:38.438 --> 03:24:38.578 [Vael (Berberis)]: Okay. 03:24:39.058 --> 03:24:41.100 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And then drive tanks over the top of that. 03:24:41.801 --> 03:24:46.627 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, yeah. 03:24:46.787 --> 03:24:47.588 [Lacer (Kai)]: Has it come to that? 03:24:47.988 --> 03:24:49.570 [Lacer (Kai)]: Drive our siege across? 03:24:50.651 --> 03:24:52.173 [JC (Ryo)]: You put that much weight on Dondar? 03:24:53.955 --> 03:24:55.817 [Lacer (Kai)]: Once or five. 03:24:57.873 --> 03:25:01.277 [Lacer (Kai)]: I guess if you put Dondar on a cart, it becomes a tank, right? 03:25:03.880 --> 03:25:07.364 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Tank of all that dwarves on elks we could transport over the river. 03:25:07.865 --> 03:25:20.080 [Vael (Berberis)]: I just dropped in general another option, the way of doing it, as opposed to one big boat would be very dramatic, but lots of little boats and then just throwing a platform over the top, because 30 meters isn't that far. 03:25:20.741 --> 03:25:22.403 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We're doing a Dunkirk! 03:25:23.504 --> 03:25:25.146 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, I see, okay. 03:25:26.813 --> 03:25:33.503 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so you'd potentially have to construct a big, long boardwalk or something that you could rapidly toss across. 03:25:35.025 --> 03:25:44.018 [Vael (Berberis)]: If it's too difficult to bring a big boat in, is there lots of little boats in the river on our side that we could repurpose? 03:25:45.540 --> 03:25:49.446 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just depending on the resources available. 03:25:49.546 --> 03:25:50.287 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting. 03:25:50.307 --> 03:25:50.888 [Vael (Berberis)]: Lumber. 03:25:50.908 --> 03:25:53.311 [Riv (DM)]: Let me ponder that. 03:25:53.792 --> 03:25:56.736 [Riv (DM)]: Would there be lots of little boats? 03:25:59.737 --> 03:26:21.947 [Riv (DM)]: I think there probably, if there were any, I doubt there would be enough at least like already docked on the river itself because people have probably already tried in the past to use the boats to sail back and forth and either the Empire or the Loyalists have sort of shut that down by either destroying the boats to stop it from happening or by sending them out of the river. 03:26:21.927 --> 03:26:24.471 [Riv (DM)]: But there would be plenty down at the docks. 03:26:24.631 --> 03:26:29.558 [Riv (DM)]: There would be merchant vessels and fisherman ships that had just happened to be docked when the Empire attacked. 03:26:30.139 --> 03:26:32.562 [Riv (DM)]: And when the Empire took control of the docks, they would all be there. 03:26:32.603 --> 03:26:33.364 [Riv (DM)]: They would be locked in. 03:26:34.625 --> 03:26:41.235 [Riv (DM)]: Plus, those little fishing boats aren't escaping across the frozen ice and the treacherous waters surrounding the Frostwaite anytime soon. 03:26:41.275 --> 03:26:43.959 [Riv (DM)]: So there are probably plenty down there at the docks that you could grab. 03:26:46.723 --> 03:26:48.325 [Vael (Berberis)]: Imagine I'm here having a chat with Barak. 03:26:48.646 --> 03:26:50.128 [Vael (Berberis)]: She's probably looking at the same idea. 03:26:51.273 --> 03:26:56.604 [Vael (Berberis)]: So if we can change control of the gatehouse, what do you think? 03:26:59.912 --> 03:27:05.704 [Vael (Berberis)]: To go one big boat which is quick and dirty or lots of little boats which is not as quick but probably safer? 03:27:06.241 --> 03:27:11.047 [Riv (DM)]: I think the little boat option might just do the trick. 03:27:11.067 --> 03:27:13.970 [Riv (DM)]: Two group strike team, one takes the gate, one takes the boats. 03:27:14.791 --> 03:27:19.316 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure Ari and I can get a few sailors together, bring the boats up through. 03:27:19.376 --> 03:27:24.983 [Riv (DM)]: We get some of Marius' men to start working on the gangplanks. 03:27:25.944 --> 03:27:26.384 [Riv (DM)]: We could do it. 03:27:26.845 --> 03:27:30.109 [Vael (Berberis)]: Three man team, because we'll need someone to slam the bridge down. 03:27:31.470 --> 03:27:32.852 [Vael (Berberis)]: Oh, not three men, three team. 03:27:33.092 --> 03:27:33.733 [Riv (DM)]: Three group, yep. 03:27:34.169 --> 03:27:36.151 [Vael (Berberis)]: We want the bridge bitch ready to go. 03:27:36.171 --> 03:27:37.372 [Vael (Berberis)]: Drop him immediately. 03:27:38.053 --> 03:27:38.133 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 03:27:38.153 --> 03:27:42.638 [Riv (DM)]: We'll get Marius, see if he's got some men, some lumber available to start working on. 03:27:43.399 --> 03:27:49.806 [Riv (DM)]: Even if we have to, we can start tearing some of the lumber from the nearby buildings that are not occupied or already damaged. 03:27:52.209 --> 03:27:55.332 [Vael (Berberis)]: Floors in there are already pre-milled, pre-made, ready to go. 03:27:55.552 --> 03:27:56.654 [Vael (Berberis)]: Saw them out, drop them straight on. 03:27:58.636 --> 03:27:59.597 [Riv (DM)]: Sounds like we better get to work. 03:28:03.161 --> 03:28:03.501 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 03:28:05.877 --> 03:28:12.265 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'll get the bird up scouting boat numbers and gatehouse defenses. 03:28:12.865 --> 03:28:14.507 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 03:28:14.888 --> 03:28:18.873 [Riv (DM)]: He looks over his shoulder and just calls out, Ari, Ari, come over here. 03:28:18.893 --> 03:28:27.683 [Riv (DM)]: And you see Ari, half-orc, still as fierce looking as ever, with a sort of 03:28:27.967 --> 03:28:29.589 [Riv (DM)]: Punky sort of haircut. 03:28:29.910 --> 03:28:34.036 [Riv (DM)]: She's the one with the shaved on one side of her head and the other sort of longer draping over the side. 03:28:35.378 --> 03:28:39.864 [Riv (DM)]: Very small little tusks poking up from her lower mouth. 03:28:40.445 --> 03:28:42.548 [Riv (DM)]: She comes over and Baraka sort of explains the plan. 03:28:42.568 --> 03:28:44.190 [Riv (DM)]: You see she starts to smile wider. 03:28:47.294 --> 03:28:49.097 [Riv (DM)]: Gives Baraka a clap on the shoulder. 03:28:49.803 --> 03:28:50.724 [Riv (DM)]: It's a good plan. 03:28:51.406 --> 03:28:51.686 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 03:28:52.427 --> 03:28:53.609 [Riv (DM)]: Let's go and get some of our group together. 03:28:54.390 --> 03:28:56.774 [Riv (DM)]: We got some boats to sail and some boats to steal. 03:28:59.238 --> 03:29:00.760 [Riv (DM)]: Should we... 03:29:00.780 --> 03:29:04.286 [Riv (DM)]: I guess we probably get about doing this now and get them in position for the evening? 03:29:05.809 --> 03:29:07.091 [Riv (DM)]: Barak sort of nods, looks to you. 03:29:07.591 --> 03:29:08.813 [Riv (DM)]: You're thinking evening? 03:29:12.579 --> 03:29:16.806 [Vael (Berberis)]: We'd like the talks all come through, but like I said, 03:29:17.090 --> 03:29:19.953 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's sane talk and these are not sane times. 03:29:22.476 --> 03:29:23.877 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 03:29:23.897 --> 03:29:24.518 [Riv (DM)]: Let's get to it then. 03:29:24.758 --> 03:29:28.242 [Riv (DM)]: I'll get a runner up to the keep. 03:29:28.822 --> 03:29:32.246 [Riv (DM)]: See if they can start getting some of their men together to prepare the boards. 03:29:33.787 --> 03:29:34.788 [Vael (Berberis)]: Grab the dwarf. 03:29:35.349 --> 03:29:37.952 [Vael (Berberis)]: He's pretty handy when it comes to moving things around like that pretty quickly. 03:29:38.933 --> 03:29:40.454 [Vael (Berberis)]: Alright. 03:29:40.474 --> 03:29:41.055 [Unmatched Speaker]: What dwarf? 03:29:46.688 --> 03:29:59.850 [Vael (Berberis)]: Who controls the waterway because the river gatehouse because the river is no man's land? 03:30:01.472 --> 03:30:07.262 [Riv (DM)]: Typically the Empire have been patrolling the walls and keeping the gatehouse 03:30:08.845 --> 03:30:16.615 [Riv (DM)]: It's been locked down, I guess, since they got here, but who knows how many forces they've still got patrolling from what you can see. 03:30:16.875 --> 03:30:25.727 [Riv (DM)]: And at this, like you have probably seen many times now in sort of just your random wanders around the city today, this afternoon. 03:30:26.267 --> 03:30:29.592 [Riv (DM)]: There are just like hundreds and hundreds of soldiers just lined up now on the other side. 03:30:29.652 --> 03:30:36.220 [Riv (DM)]: Some of them are sort of stacked up, some of them patrolling a little bit, but yeah, probably more than you've ever seen so far in the city. 03:30:36.942 --> 03:30:38.464 [Riv (DM)]: But they're all sort of... 03:30:38.885 --> 03:30:40.927 [Riv (DM)]: If they're there, they're not patrolling. 03:30:41.047 --> 03:30:43.190 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: They're not running their normal operations. 03:30:43.250 --> 03:30:43.931 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Exactly, yeah. 03:30:43.951 --> 03:30:45.033 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: They're doing a general course. 03:30:45.914 --> 03:30:45.994 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 03:30:46.014 --> 03:30:47.696 [Riv (DM)]: And they are close to the main bridge as well. 03:30:48.077 --> 03:31:03.518 [Riv (DM)]: So in theory, if you were to do this lower down the river, you know, maybe half an hour or so down the river, you could potentially try and, as long as you did it quickly, try and get enough people across and then maybe try and disestablish the game if you wanted to do it stealthily. 03:31:04.299 --> 03:31:05.380 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah. 03:31:06.473 --> 03:31:08.016 [Riv (DM)]: Very doable, I think. 03:31:09.619 --> 03:31:17.934 [Riv (DM)]: As the sort of group is starting to prepare, Beric and Ari, you see, start to marshal some of their crew, some of the crews of the other Mawbreakers that they had sailed up with. 03:31:19.136 --> 03:31:21.360 [Riv (DM)]: Lirion comes over, she 03:31:22.758 --> 03:31:31.866 [Riv (DM)]: As you notice has seemed to not ever be too far from Beric and she comes over with just a look of concern on her face and you see her speaking quietly to him. 03:31:33.347 --> 03:31:40.093 [Riv (DM)]: He appears to be sort of consoling her, saying it'll be fine, look, this is what we do. 03:31:41.455 --> 03:31:42.476 [Riv (DM)]: It's no different than any other day. 03:31:43.476 --> 03:31:51.904 [Riv (DM)]: And she accepts it, she nods, but still can't shake that look of concern. 03:31:54.500 --> 03:31:57.023 [Riv (DM)]: Um, okay. 03:31:57.043 --> 03:31:59.226 [Riv (DM)]: Runners sent to the keep. 03:32:00.668 --> 03:32:01.629 [Riv (DM)]: People start working. 03:32:02.530 --> 03:32:02.951 [Riv (DM)]: Activity. 03:32:02.971 --> 03:32:06.655 [Riv (DM)]: There's a bit of spark of enthusiasm and motivation in people's eyes. 03:32:10.881 --> 03:32:12.603 [Riv (DM)]: And I think, I think we've got a plan. 03:32:13.644 --> 03:32:20.052 [Riv (DM)]: So how about we call it there for the session and we can, um, we can see what happens with the plan next time. 03:32:21.474 --> 03:32:23.697 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah. 03:32:27.642 --> 03:32:33.850 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 03:32:35.953 --> 03:32:36.694 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, no, it's good. 03:32:36.714 --> 03:32:37.114 [Riv (DM)]: Let's do that. 03:32:37.155 --> 03:32:43.182 [Riv (DM)]: Let's pause, because otherwise we're going to have to go down and start sealing boats and stuff, and I think we should probably dedicate a decent amount of time for that. 03:32:44.484 --> 03:32:45.726 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 03:32:45.746 --> 03:32:45.826 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 03:32:45.846 --> 03:32:46.647 [Riv (DM)]: All right.
