============================================================ The Things We Do For Love May 7, 2026

SESSION SUMMARY

The party prepared in Kalidnay by selling items like a Master of Steel Greatsword, buying Crodlu mounts, and storing gear in a vault. They traveled light toward the City of the Dead, enduring a purple Aurora storm on day one with successful Wisdom saves and sheltering. Foraging provided dinner, and night passed without incident. On day two, they battled a giant dragonfly using camouflage and attacks, slaying it for valuable salvage worth 53,000 stars including cyanics and gangways.

Arriving at high noon, the group stealthily entered a mausoleum to stable their Crodlu, avoiding Anubis-headed guardian statues. The Guiding Star led them through temple interiors, bypassing patrols. They solved the Anubis riddle—'dust' as the answer, inspired by Pip's insight on rivers turning to dust beds—gaining passage. Next, filling an urn with radiance quickened sand into blue-green fire, opening a void bridge. Nia crossed first with faith, supported by ghostly limbs; others followed, with Vis catching a falling ally.

Reaching the tomb door inscribed 'only the dead may enter,' Vis absorbed the earth magic trap, warping the ground and burning hieroglyphs into his hands. Inside, treasures abounded, but a powerful orb on a pedestal drew Six. Guardian mummy An emerged from her sarcophagus, vowing to protect it for ascended Queen Khalid-Ma. Combat ensued: Six's Age of Touch failed with a wild surge reducing haste, Drain Soul yielded a soul shard, Vis crit with obsidian dagger.

An unleashed mind control and blasts; Pip wielded the Kopesh of the Radiant Dawn for a critical blind. Six's Temporal Stasis ritual on the orb failed endurance checks, triggering a Tempest surge aging the party into toddlers and elders temporarily. Vis landed double natural 20 crits, Nia finished with a radiant beam compassionately. An dissolved into dust, leaving armor, but the orb vanished into the void. Destroyed golems littered the exit.

Carrying aged Six out, the Eidolon (Alistair) portaled in, offering transport. Six departed alone with him to Kalidnay, leaving the party split. There, disguised, they spotted unnoticed Anak-su. Six channeled rage into crafting a fake obsidian orb using crystal keystone and obsidian powder to deceive for voice restoration.

============================================================ SESSION TRANSCRIPT

I just did a full inventory of my house of the things that have been removed yesterday. I'm not anonymous. Well, yes. I was more sensitive to it because I knew he was going to be reviewing it. Because of the critical eye. It's just the past. I know. It's not a problem you're saying, I know, you're right. I don't. I shouldn't care about any fucking things. You gotta interrupt the process. So, last session according to the ANA. You get a session of Kalidnay with the ANA system under the bus. You sold most of your tanks with the trues of the brewery and got excited about the brewery process. He didn't take 14 days, but he's going to take 14 days. He succeeded as an intelligence check for passive quality. It was really bad at things. That's why I wanted to love it. They sold a Master of Steel Greatsword to the Arena Channel for 12,000 of her pieces. Gaining his promise of victory in their own league. Total armies of Buster's World of Towers in the story. Preparation for travel included purchasing individual Crodley mounts, storing gear securely in a vault for 10 Saranac uses, giving each of 10 X-Layers 500 per ounce of startup hubs, informing them of your return and about a potentially taken back to the theater. The group traveled light without a wagon, estimating two days each way to the city of the day. On day one, after dust devils, a purple Aurora storm hit, Expelled the Wisdom save, attempted to attack her Krodlu, but failing, taking one piercing damage, probably less damage from the dog. Sharpground. She passed the Wargo for a 30-foot cube shelter, aided by the priest's radiant queen, and lined the biggest race. Night one passed, kills me in a high ground, nestled with foraged spicy scorpions for dinner. No incidents. Despite the Nightstone curse. I don't know what that is. What? What? Ah, the Nightstone curse. Hazy Day 2 brought a giant dragonfly encounter. Here's the camouflage with a six-guess starfall. The crowd in panic over control by a cruise ship. They take the speed, the party in the mountains, stormed, shredding wings and killing it, providing a feast of sabre. Salvage materials valued at 53,000 stars. This included cyanics, gangways, and green men. By high noon they arrive at the City of the Dead stealthily entering the first mausoleum of the place, the second stone branch, moving two thousand stone doors. Inside the road stands, sarcophagi, a statue, and two government passages, and I believe they decided to, you know, store your brothers up here. Yeah. Then get murdered by the, uh, the Guardians. This is a... Whistler handles him a lot and a little bit too roughly. Because he just like kind of treats them as toys. You are... This is... The place that you stored your Krodlu, but it's not where you want to be. You need to get to the tomb of Khalid-Ma. It might be the big fan. But there's one that's more pyramidal. Which way did we come in? Because I think that would also- We came in from like- Why is it? Because if the first thing I see is the big- Okay. So you came in from outside the city and just ducked into the first two that you found. Okay. You can glimpse these huge, like, basalt, uh, statues. Well, statues don't normally be golems, Anubis-headed guardians. What's the... Is it the Burble wiki where the details are? I don't... First off, I guess I should ask. The Void powers aren't really on my character sheet, so I don't like the stuff I can do when I'm dead and stuff is like... This is a... I put her... Oh, it's both. That's stupid. Yeah. Okay, so this... Okay. Just can't do it. Great. So, this version we built together has rain, so we don't want to Animate allows you to do Undead's death. Yeah. Drain's soul is dead. I was looking at powers but not feats. Yeah. Your feats... You have a familiar. I think you're gonna turn the lemur into a familiar. Yeah. Walking Dead gives you lots of authority. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I was just gonna sing those. I was just saying deathly. May Ancestry and Dream of Me. The definitive way these powers work is here. And this is the official... Necrogenesis is a P-Denel-Termate custom hyde. Necrosis has been changed, too. So this link here on VickieDub. I just figured she would have Necrosis, so I just like it's something I would imagine her score is doing. I recommend it. She went with Grantham. No, no. Necrosis is also an attack spell, so it can do necrotic damage and it can do all the classic necrosis. I'll probably take that next time, but I wanted to have the basics that I thought she would have. Reanimate. It's actually called Reanimate for an important difference. This is a Vestidio because reanimate-tour combines reanimate control undead and then in one. But the basic idea I'm gonna be using Walking Dead. Everyone will recognize me as Walking Dead. I don't think I can pass it on to anyone else. Yeah, we can do that too. Sweetest Fly, but they definitely see you, but can they reach you? This is a count on this interesting airspace. How high are the teams? These guys are tall, but if you're like this lower wall, if you were standing straight up, your head might be visible, although if you crouched, you'd be invisible. These taller buildings definitely, the taller buildings are More than tall. But yeah, these guys are like, I don't know, 15 feet tall. They can see quite a bit. Why such a... He's still dead. So he doesn't have any way to help you guys. Can you force me to... Yeah, I actually see two out of three people who have been connected to our list. They call us this serving room. If I click on myself in the mobile app I take away damage or add it depending on where I tap off the bar. Show me. That's a feature I told it to make a million years ago and it never worked so I just assumed that it doesn't work. but apparently it works now. Yeah, the health bar is interactive. Did that roll? I see... no, that'll see who rolls. Press V for actions. I am for actions. I am just coming in, but it doesn't like Dakhan is my action. Oh, go to your chat settings. and select a 3D Dice theme. The fact that it says default, there is no... Or settings. If I can find out, probably the chat pane. Little settings. And it's impossible for you to click. So I'm just gonna use my computer. Yeah, I use Blue Green Metal Some of them are really stupid, but I think they all work except for the... This is... ...21... ...Chats... ...Oh, there we go. That's really weird looking D20. I'll play most recent underplay when I play most recent in match. Technically the play button should always do that, unless you've never been on match. I'm guessing it's that first one. Yeah, why is there two? Maybe that was your broken dice? Yeah, maybe. Or, Cm, Windows, BASIC. I mean, if you hadn't taught me to do the two finger push to get my right-clicking situation on this trackpad, I don't think I would be. Control click? I'm sure that's can also work. That's supposed to be the default. Or clicking in the bottom right, although I actually turned that out when I don't know if it was. Spring through. Where's my favorite colors? Go for it. Here's one of those auditory ones for me. It's a good sense to you all that I had like so many notes that I went through school when I was having a test and that kind of shit happened outside. I don't know why it's not for I think we just need to delete all tips and start over again. Did you pick a chat set at 3D dice? The problem is the default dice are invisible. I see. Yep, okay. The die roll is... Is that going to say I got my 11 with... Okay. Yeah, I don't know. Here, I'm going to have her roll again and see. That just didn't show up in the chat line at all. It didn't show up. But it's generating two roles, but the actual role was the one in 3DDace. Mine's just not working. ...character building. Probably written... It's auto-applying advantage. Nice. True. So how's it coming from here? It's just not. We have REST here. Just gonna make sure, gonna pick one that I know works. 3D data system. Alright, you can roll raw dice. Yeah, rest just wasn't... I think you... well... okay. We'll just have to remember the first one, not the one that says the... okay. See, you got an 18. Okay. This is way back when, got... An 18. So... I'm not sure. I think the 13 is the correct one. They didn't fire in the same order as everybody else, but it's the one that doesn't say Dexterity. Okay, so she got a 12. He's the weakest. But, you know, the fact that you're completely covered is pretty helpful. So this guy... What's wrong with New Year's? Yeah, he predates all of the bug fixes. He's probably just messed up. Alright. I said that I do not have my phone with me. Approach Generate If we had like a big house and a big yard, they could get a big dog. That's really what they need. They would load AI models. Okay. Guess I'll Google search it. It just had super duper long delay. Alright, that was a strength check. How about that wisdom check? It's written correctly. It's just, I gotta switch dice libraries. This is the prettiest one, but it's buggy as fuck. Oh, mine was totally warped. The dice look like this big, weird... Yeah, there's these weird, like, cylindrical dice that I don't know why I do. That's what my D20 looks like. It's like, what is this cylinder? I wish the Tom Cotton cost $17. Yeah, but it's basically a B. Alright, so I've lost all the Waste-Rolling ability. Okay. A reload sometimes fixes it. Alright, he's completely oblivious. Bug's down. This one is... This one's way of the bug down here. Wait, stop. This one is deciding where to go. Do they have time to reach? Like, do they have a pathway? I'm gonna... I'm sorry. She can actually effectively scout without being I mean right now you're hiding so you can't really see them. You can kind of hear them. You can tell this one is approaching. Like she can actually see probably between the walls. Is there any fungal creatures I can communicate with? It's very sandy out here. I mean I figured it's like she's dead so it's limited. You don't have like fungal clairvoyance? No. Most of the fungus to be found here is underground. They can definitely tell something is stomping around. And then you see him passing by the hero. and Sita Stamps. Do you want to... Which building? Probably the big one in the center. For me to decide. Did the name let us have any clue what you were looking for, where to go? I'm gonna assume it's the big one. Yes, with the little plaza. Do you want to climb over the wall or take the front entrance? Pretty good sight line on this hole. What if we climb around the back? There's two of us that can fly over and the two climbers. Yeah, three of you can fly. It's just four of us. It's not a client. He is a maniac. He is using my body physically. I'm physically using my body. I just have to diminish what we're doing. Effortlessly, he just walks straight up like a spider. You can levitate up to 30 feet so you guys can just kinda get out of here. Woop! Woop! She uses the wings and radiance. You sneak into this building I've got Gemini. Thank you, John. Okay. It's just money. What are you gonna just accept? You're like an old person who thinks, you know, hot dogs cost a dollar at the baseball field. Like, numbers change. We spent that amount when we, like, took the boys to, you know, KFC. I know. What will worrying about it come? It's not a worry, it's just, it's a hit, it's an instant anxiety hit. How long is all this work? Manually downloaded in the main. And I'll see you next time. How will that work to get this module? It doesn't even work. Just paste what I fucking told you to paste right now. Reprocess it. It's not fucking processing. Just do it. That's how copy paste works. What the hell was it doing? Eh, this kind of works. I don't know. I can't. It's kind of perfect. Interesting choices made by me. I don't think the background needs to work. Okay, now I have to figure out which pit. Yeah, I know, that's the problem. Now there's two pits in Phoenix, so I'll rename Busted Pit. When you- oh. Oh, I can't read. I gotta make her a little two. We have some idea which one is which. Alright. Oh, you can't really see level, but... One will have way more hit points. 200, okay. Bye. That's the poppers. Now we need Nia, because it's daytime. You have entered the interior of a temple that is used to Care of the Dead for Internment. There are implements for mummification, wall artwork that describes the process. Nice convenient reference, man. Yeah, I like it. There's the whole weighing of the heart against a feather. There's the hippo goddess that guides you through the weird Purple Sea. I'm getting most of this from Moon Knight. There's nobody in here. It kind of looks like it was recently used, but it's left in a clean state for the next mummy. This just looks like a processing area. And this is, this is, there is another, so we came in the one door and there's another door there still, like, as well done. There is You know what I want from natural is the splitting press spacebar. It gives you the twinkie arrows and you can see that. It does. But what it doesn't have... Oh, I have the starter guide us to the thing we're looking for. It's like a specific name, it's a much lower DC, and I'm having the star lead us to the item. Oh, yeah. Might as well. The place is too big for us to just be a bunch of people. But he's looking around, there's a lot of good stuff to steal here. Don't touch anything. Guides you out. Actually, it might interrupt the field. Yeah, Kok is the fastest way. Oh, I guess we're all, we might have a wild surge. I have wild surges for all of the Arcanists. They're all specific to the power itself. Tempest can like, age you, so... good times. Good God, so cylinders, awful cylinders. There's a Pinty Prism... And then you can turn into a toddler and another. It teleports you there, but it unerringly guides you back to the city of the world. And this isn't the city of the world. I have two maps called Cedric next to it. Thank you, mate. It wants to go right out the door. This way. You can't see where it wants to go because it will pause until I finish a car's entity. Yeah. Follows you and once you're over here it's like, alright, let's go south now. And it wants to go... It stops at about 8. And Bird, look at that bird. Last night when Wesley was having trouble, Bird insisted on going into Wesley's room and staying. Very good. This is what his job is. He's such a good... This guy... Oops, you can't see. So there is an Anubis coming up the main block now. It's about to have a pileup at the other end. But you can't quite see here, Snoek. Yeah, wait, stay low. Go around. Okay, it's just like we said, we'll find a new direction if we're heading in the wrong direction. Now it slips through some holes in the wall. When you get here, it's to go around and go into this... Oh, uh-huh. See? Yeah. I was going to waste a second guess, but... Three pyramids, four, there's that one, and five. But they could all be like. What do you guys see? Oh, you're, this is me, so you see everything. What do you guys see on your screen? Nothing. Nothing yet. Not even myself. That's because... No, it's not. Okay, just Vision. Nobody has a light source, which is definitely not true, because you have Celery. She's going to activate me. She does have a light source. The star is a light source. Yeah. Let's see. Vision blocking an indoor... Are you sure Fogglewater? I have VBL with everything. So why can't you see? You will have normal vision, that may or may not be accurate, but it's good enough to see when there's an obvious light spell. Let me create a token for the stuff. So, the VBL clearly works because I can see the lines that it's tracing. Yeah. But you guys just can't see it. Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna make it out there. How's that? How's it? Can you change our tokens? I can't. Mine says that you have no tokens on the map. Yeah, just impersonate it. So you guys still can't see in the door mode. Try a hard refresh command on my marker. Let's report. Now I can see everything Do you mean troll-R for us? Yes, I have to do different websites I have to do different websites. Indoor... Huh, trust me, but I will say the Guiding Star will eventually raise money while selecting the tokens they have. So you can see... When I'm on, I'm fine, or the star. Yes, if you're... So what I don't have yet is team mode, where if you don't have anyone impersonated, you can still only see what your team sees altogether. So you're basically in GM mode when you don't BBL only appears when I'm hovering over my token. So it still exists. Can you see this mummy palette in the south? Yeah. When you're a person. Yes. Interesting. This is what it looks like. Yeah. Yeah. So that's just broken. BBL... Well, cause the impersonation doesn't force you into the visibility of the token. See, this used to work, but you know, things break and the tests don't catch it. There is a very large Anubis statue looming and... With eyes that lit up? Are they lit up? They are lit up. Yeah. What the fuck? That's not how portraits work. What are you doing? Why can that happen? How many times do I have to tell this fucking AI to fix the same shit? How is that even possible? I don't understand. It's too big. I'm just saying like the way this is programmed. I don't know how what I'm seeing is possible. Okay. Okay. Okay. You hear the booming voice of the Guardian of the Dead challenging Sir, only the penitent of the past. I speak a thing with you guys' hands. Through my humility, answer my riddle. I am the thief who steals the breath from the king and slave alike. I am the artist who carves the dunes but leaves no signature. I swallow the mighty river and turn the forest to bone. Yet I am the only bed that awaits every traveler at their journey's end. What's Death? Death or time? Or texts? I was gonna say, when, because the Dunes would like, it doesn't really steal your breath or turn or something. They've been in a ways every time. That's the key, but I'm not quite sure. Because both times death the Earth, you can steal the breath of the King, so I know that is. It's all about humility, so no man is immune from it. It is also the artist's character. So again, that could be... That leads more towards a time interpretation. How long is this thing supposed to let people have time when you wait? They're very patient. Yeah, that's the problem. Succeed in a wisdom check. You can get a hint. Yeah. I'll try. Alright, Listas. Oh, she rolled a two. Oh, yay! Are you wise? I don't think we need it because Pip is super wise. Pip, you keep thinking about the river What have all the mighty rivers become? River beds they become dust. The statue looks to you, leveling every man from the mightiest source King, the lowest slave, is avenged by dust. You may pass. Thanks, Burl. He leads the way down, checking for, uh, checking for traffic. That'll do that road stuff. Do that road, it is road, it is. Now you're stacked. Eh. Stop stacking. Okay. Not pictured, but soon to be pictured, is an urn. Did you actually move? Yeah, it's funny on that. Yeah. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. I see your guiding star. Guiding star. Yeah, so it's a big urn that's I'm too autistic to allow it to be centered. Do a reset for this. You hear his glooming voice as if it's right behind you. Fill the urn with the quickening. If it comes to life, then you will survive. You see, unsettlingly, four guardians in fine gold armor mummified their weapons ready. What is this tricking? What? I'm gonna look to the pieces of this so she might know something about this maybe. So... You have to cause a spark of light. Let's see. Um... Do you have any light? You get a lot of undeniable. Fungus? That's life. There's just blood, really. It's... it's... there's a bit of a vibe. It doesn't spark to life. What about the orc? What about a seed? We do have those precious seeds. It's starting to go up a bit. How about this? Radiance. It's almost quickened. I'm not sure which is more like life-y, aging or unaging, but time is definitely part of life. The gray lightless sand inside begins to burn heatless, sort of blue-green fire. Look at that cage. It's just a little Elements of the source of life followed by the cycle of precious moments of death. At the south end of this room, this whole facade slides out, revealing a long passageway that looks a little bit impossible. The walls are solid, blackness, as is the ceiling, but the floor is dark. Like if you step through you'll fall into space. And about a hundred feet in the distance you see a landing entrance to the temple to the vets full of gold and regal looking treasures. The guiding stars are The greedy man follows the path of his life. The faith man follows the path of living and his sisters. What about all the women? and it's mostly with Ab-six of Sestad. He's examining it for traps. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Search for traps. When you close your eyes, you see anything? No, but that's usually how that works. And this looks pretty real. ...falls into the void. So... Is it a glamour? It doesn't appear to be. It's magical in the sense that all portals This is a test of faith. Nia steps forward, serenely, without spawning her wings, confidently steps into the darkness. Ghostly limbs appear from the darkness, about a decimal point, grabbing her foot and supporting her weight. She takes another step, eyes closed, trusting to the ancestors, I mean, the Void is your friend. Roll of wisdom. Truly let go of natural inhibition and have faith. Serenely descend the path carried by the hand You know, some of its ancestors. In the void all are fun. Yeah, exactly. You guys need me in there? Because... I'm a void. I still have my silence floor so I can communicate. Oh, I really don't do. I don't. I don't. You just say... Oh, I see that. Oh, you rolled a 2. I rolled a 15. He's good. I'm not. Take a step, you're like, I can't. I cannot. I don't know how you guys are doing this. This is ridiculous. Hang on, I'm trying. This does not seem right to my brain. At the first sensation of falling, your instinct is to sprout your wings. As... Let me roll a quick check here. creatures are not used to falling. Seriously. However, as you fall, as your wings are still starting to unfurl, Vis catches you. He wasn't really sure if he's allowed to do that or if that'll make him fall too. He was still hamming on, but he saw that and he just leapt forward. Trust in the living as well. Surprisingly dense. Got those thick dragon bones. Well, he has an 18 strength, so please go. It's a little less dignified and romantic. Oh, not romantic at all. Just like... Not my idea of romance. Love being carried by the side of the potatoes. Great. The priest just gets there first, shortly by Pip. It's a sandstone landing, and there's a closed door to this tomb. Unlocked You guys are calling me for one second. Did you check the 1.30? Yeah. I figure we'll be mostly wrapped up by then. It might be late too. Thank you. Look at those. You see the inscriptions, the artwork, the guardians, Can only be the two of the Kalid-Ma-th. Hello? Yes. Yes. Yes. So are they actually heracris or are they the script of my heracris? She was... So... They do have, I mean, language is kind of funny. I feel like the cities would probably develop their own languages, but we've also been kind of hand-waving language. I'm kind of assuming there'd be some language that we'd want to set in, so I'm calling a lot of language. There's a Trade Tongue of the Table Lance. Yeah, there's an Evenese and stuff, so... I think they have their own language, but there's also an inscription in the ancient tongue, or as you know it, the tongue. Because she was born in the world where that was still dominant. There is a It's an invocation of the Pireen, the one who was kind, the one who thought, the Navel Bower goddess to ascend. Probably talking about for a shot. Eh, it got kind of sucked, but I can see where they're coming from. There is a clear warning Even repeated in the common trait and albeit slightly archaic, only the dead may enter. Only the family of Kalid-Ma. Well, sorry. It's not going to work for us. Forgive me. So, intelligence? How smart is he? Very smart. Yeah, this door is intelligent. What do we do? What inspires me? Charger? I mean, maybe. He just he realizes, puts his tools away, makes a silent gesture, and then absorbs magic. The DC is up there. Definitely the easiest way of starting traps. What happened if he failed? Okay, he suffered damage. He has a plus four, okay. Which I guess most similar to shield, maybe shield, passage, shape, earth. Okay. No 2d6, ready? Seven. Mix. Energy. There's a burst as the earth magic is unwound. And the ground in this area becomes warped and spiky and difficult. Thank you. and I will be able to play the first one for the first one. I should have suspected it is in your territory. Yeah. Someone likes to put it. No, it's still aware. I was in a helping hurry but you know they have a place to choose the meat and like I'm not just letting me choose at random which meat you want. Thank you. I'm not sure what happened. I didn't know what happened. I didn't know what happened. It's like you, Matthew, always go over. Do you understand? I'm not sure what happened. and I'm not sure why the reason Bob is not the problem. We are going to want you to do a Jamaica campaign. Could you guys go to the first player? Shadda- I had a I can just do a standard one. It really does kind of... Also kind of has the texture of my mouth, is that in a liquid? And what's weird is that they added a... They added a light into this, but then it was special life-saver I've been looking at the back of the screen and more interesting things. I mean, that's what you do if you're cooking from scratch. You can see these are not- They don't watch things. They just get back. You're a- You better have what? They do. How come? I'm a mother-in-law. I'm a big mother-in-law. I really don't know if you can see that. No, you can see that. That means that you made it authentically. But it did perfectly. The experience to get these stuff, which Sandy Rice wanted I mean like specific format. Yeah. It's like flavors that you know it's like oh you're gonna have to get the Chinese. Oh wait a minute. I know I've talked to you about it. It's slow. But it all happens. I'm tired of my parable. So, so I got a parable. So much fudge in it. That's the problem. Normal walk-up is really on the big one. Anyone who wants to know? This stuff starts so bad. It's gonna take like 20 minutes. Wow. It actually does. The biggest gas. That was all of our dreams. I don't know. And we ended up having fun with that shit. We didn't know how fast we were. Now, the most constant of the restrictions on there after a month is a bit more of a shit. Oh, fun. Well, it's just a point that I'll be open just a little too long with the gas before you actually run. And it's been a lot of situations where, like, it's just a school. Yeah. It's okay if I just find the moment in the face. That's a problem. I just never get this second. I don't feel like that much chicken is going to be that much. and how you get it from your stores and stuff, it comes out the same egg, like, right? It's at home. It's probably something like Vanity. Yeah. It uses corn starch for the sauce. It just makes it taste good. Well, beef doesn't... I was excited to chat about my steak and introduce it in such a name. Planning all these granule steels and then I'll have like a spicy chicken sandwich. Well, you know, it's not even doing for ages. You just gotta think about that piece of voice. I think one thing that happens is the food is love feeling with my own home. Like I was just grateful for inside. Like with my dad gone, I don't feel the same pressure. My mom was still checking to make sure I'm eating, but she doesn't. It's not like you don't eat, it's like you're denying my love. It's like the sort of shame. I don't. Pants. Like the sort of eating source. Yeah. I have learned to take it personally if I don't want to eat stuff. I was like, we eat when we want to eat, and we don't eat when we don't want to eat. These are not supposed to be that cute. They're not allowed. They're not going underneath me. And there's two in the blanket. I can see how it's a pocket, it kind of seems like it might be a fun little cave. They're just gonna have to stick around. They're probably back in the crate. No, I took a break. Ugh. So, Vis is dead. That's fine. Oh shit. Yeah, I need to plan on healing. 66 hit points. Oh, he has 84 hit points apparently. The character doesn't agree with the token. With a Fierce, Shouter, Pain, An, Affermentioned, Wild Surge. The magic sealing the door is absorbed. Hieroglyphs have been burned into his hands. Great. More marks. Let's see. You might need a battle man for that. Here's what it is. We have a priestess. He actually can heal, but it's transfusion and there's no convenient targets around. Give that monkey. No. No. Wow, familiar to talking. It's such people, lemurs. Exactly. So that's medium. We had to close it because of the business thing. I'm picking up for you. Like I don't know how to use a puppy. 34. Yeah. But I guess it really lets you set up when those windows are open, no? Except I don't move in when I don't move closed, then they go swing. Okay. What do you got? Sure, why not? It doesn't make any sense, Damini. It doesn't make any fucking sense. Whatever. 3.6. These are like true Russian ones. They're gonna have to be green in the night. I'm not a legend, man. Why would there be a Norwegian parrot? A Norwegian what? Parrot. Is that just something they made up? Yes. Nope, there is a parrot. It's not a parrot. But it is... It does indeed have beautiful things. Alright. In for... ...then place the imposter... No! It's like... Jackie is... It's like, among us. Pip was an imposter. Oh, that's cool. That's a good feature for me in particular. When you import characters, it always imports them to the token layer, even if that's not the layer you're working on. I like that. I appreciate it. Oh, I love the heart makes it really neat. We have emojis for different actions now. So, yeah. and you rolled the natural 20. I thought that was a count. There is... Yes, this inset in the bottom right is a... I mean, I guess they could be lying down. But it was trying to do a standing sarcophagus, but it forgot this is a top-down view, so it's a lying down sarcophagus. There is... I see two on that kind of thing. Orb. There's an orb. There's an orb. On a pedestal. It's about the size of a globe. Hopefully it's not terribly heavy. It's probably not heavy. Can you guys sense the void from it? So you sense a number of things. First of all, this room is festooned with magic items, riches, gold and gems, precious art objects. Some of them are her possessions. A lot of fucking monkeys, okay? You're the one with a monkey! You prance forth. The orb has a very strong magical signature. And before you get within touch range, you hear... ...slingar. I saw this. I've got to AI generate this. This is going to be too specific. Gemini, use your creativity. Your robo-creativity. What is up with the pixels? of the faction. Just disappeared. Emerging from a standing sarcophagus, what appeared to be a mummy of some sort, Six-foot-five woman, square-jawed and powerfully built. Not quite a mummy. Definitely not a mummy. Pip does a very ornate bow. It's not exactly appropriate, but... Just the messages. Skeptically at this crew. The queen's six-foot power. You are dead. And you aren't. So I strain to understand. The Queen lies in eternal recovery. I care not for this petty princess. My duty is clear. Sheldon and Souther. My character, she just disappeared. What the fuck? There was like a lot of information there. Is it in a notebook? Fuck. My life was hell. Dead. Yes, of course. But she doesn't lie in the pose, does she? She ascended to the heavens. It's that. The one who could not countess her descent into madness. The one who will always remember. More like the You don't have... well, I guess you kind of do. But you have to explicitly do that. That would be kind of a ritual spell. Ten flowers gave me purpose. Even as they tried to keep me down, I rose to the top of the world. And my rose was to become a queen of the saints. She was beyond recall, beyond, and she was like, I've never known, love, and hope for anyone to stop. progressing the sarcophagus. I wish I could have been within me. Above the shaman. He is all back. He is a little sick. He is a little present in the world. I am a little friend. I am a little proud of you. I am a little proud of you. The cruelty of being allowed and content to claim the story. That drove my life to madness. To transcend the nation. To become like you. That's all they want. They want. That's it as well in it to hire a tomb robbers. And my sacrifice was worth to my goodness and her that I slew to damn her It looks pretty big. It's whispering to you, psychically. Even nothing has depths. As you reach for it, she grabs her kubesh. She's like a gunslinger with her hand on the holster. It's too late for that. There is much you do not have yet about the point. There's nothing to know. You better touch it? Yeah, I'm gonna continue. I really want to avoid Stargate. Well, that's what I'm doing. I was gonna say, I was already saying this. So, Nia. So in this moment, you're reaching out to touch it. And she is trying to death grip you away from it. And Nia is going to protect... Six? Maybe. I mean, wings of freedom... Yeah. She's gonna wings of freedom. If you want to resist, you can. She's life-gripping you. The life grip will defeat the Death Rig. You basically sprout an additional pair of radiant wings and quickly fly back as the claw of the Death's Purpose swinging for the area that you were in. This is very exciting. How about this? Apple Music? Play the song, Spotify. Everyone was on a knife's edge, so this is just everyone going as fast as they can. Yeah, probably. I don't know what I'm saying. 45 seconds Sure. No, she does not do it. I'm taking it. I'm gonna do Age of Touch better than a reverse stretch. One, two, three, and a younger. Interesting. Younger game, Age of Touch. How much does it be? Roll spellcasting. I'm going to start with the virtual casting and see... ...it's only been dead for 300 years. Spell seeds... ...and energy cost... ...and iteration... ...it would need 19... You're right. Oh. First, this is doing the same block. Two? Okay, so you rolled, the actual rolls of two. I mean, either way it sucked, but it stuck a little bit. Well, I have something for that. Roll 2d6 for me. Tempus specific. 2-2. Unpleasant, which is not the worst category. Subjects, okay. Your time magic malfunctions and you and your allies have minus 50% haste for work. At least you were casting a, um, 256 plus energy ritual, in which case you have minus a percent haste for one year. The effects... So each type of unpleasant has that effect, but the scale is based on how much energy was in the spell. And this is just an ad hoc spell. And I thought this was also with a melee attack, so at least I still get the melee attack with the... True, you can use claw. So I still get a claw against it. Ah, what is her A's of Yisselma? Does it have to be? Can it be harmed that way? Well, I guess we're about to see. It may not matter. Oh, are you attacking her or the...? I'm not attacking me. I'm attacking her. Yes, you are attacking me. You verified that you are attacking me. Well, I was thinking about What the next game would be? If you destroy that herb, this game might be very short. Roll damage twice. I'll take the first one. 13. Why did it become a 24? 12 plus 5 is 17. But actually, 24. I feel like you get a 17, personally. Between her armor and her mummified flesh, she deflects your pit. I'm going to drain Soul on the work because if it has his tongue, it has personality. That's not on my bingo card. It doesn't get a say. So, you cause a level of innervation and you gain a soul gem containing a fragment of their soul. And since you're ranked 2, you can expend the soul gem to gain a chosen magical ability of the target before one hour. Okay, that's not fair. That's not fair. There's this whole trial. You have to pass my trial. You can't just have my power. That's genie. I didn't know you could do that. Wait, I knew you could do that. I know everything. You have a soul shard of an orb. And when An sees that, she's furious. Like she wants to bet that out of your hands. Vis, I'm a raccooness. You're doing this, and I'm flanking, so... I assume you passed your haste check because you did that. All right. Slow at her eye. Oh, I'm so slow. You only get one attack instead of both. DEFINIT! Do you have any spells up, lady? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna tell you all my defense and spells up. I don't think he has anything to dispel. Stab it in! Wait a minute, I have spell steal- No, I don't get it. Where's my weapon? Dex, check it is! There's so many things happening, it's kind of silly. Awesome, I'm so happy to hear Viz is having success on his first round of comics. So, I'll take a failure on the next one. So it's 15, but he's a rogue. And it's obsidian. It's our shiny. So plus one crit, half the critical bonus damage repeats each round. But obsidian also has a critical bonus damage. On a crit, half damage repeats his internal damage each round. and Kandex resistance to healing until the internal damage ends. It's crit rating. Oh, he doesn't have any crit. Okay. I just realized how fucking lame he could be if he was a slime. He could apply his intelligence bonus to his dexterity. Seven dex. Okay, so it does 45 damage. It's going to repeat 30 damage each round. Poison, no. Voidstrike, no. She's undead. Rogues, eight undead. You seem to be the most tempted, so he's gonna start with you. Use me. Use me, I say. is a Dun save, unless you want to use it. In this case you can just fail. DC, the orb? Holy crap. I hate to say it, because that's a damn good save. DC is 20 save. Oh. You're like, yes. Yes, you don't even need the orb, you can use the soul chart. Of course. Why wouldn't I? He's like, don't, don't, no, no, not gonna happen. Which role is it? Mindward. Wait, I gotta roll the haste checks that I keep skipping. She passed. She's allowed to take us to internet. Mindward, emanation five, advantage. Yes, okay. Absorb one mental effect. Absorb? Does that mean it affects her? I don't think so. Alright, but you need to be within five squares, so she's gonna go over here. Make sure you're up here. Ah, my boy. She cancels the compulsion on you. Darn it. And everyone- I mean, you can still touch the orb if you want to. And everyone has advantage to mental- No. I can't even tell. When's An gonna go? She's supposed to go like... Well, that was like a cinematic thing that never happened. Alright, she's gonna go now. It's because I swapped out her token in mid-battle, so the one that rolled got deleted. Holy Blast. Let's get people in here. Yeah, she was going to death grip you. All of that happened before she could actually death grip you. She's so slow. Uh, Holy Blast? Maybe. That's a lot of cold damage. And it will hit three of you. It won't hit that annoying road, but she'll take it. Blast of Frigid Air, DC-19, Kansay. Passed. Notifying to 7. So you guys have to roll DC-19. She blasted you with coke. Somebody. I don't know who. That was me? I did that? I see that as if I did that. That's... Yeah, but it doesn't show... So it's like iMessage, your messages are on the right and other people's are on the left, and other people should have an avatar, and I see that as if I rolled. That's fucking weird. Sometimes. Okay, so you pass from this one. You take 27 damage. Roll your weird cylinder dice and cold pass. Okay, good. You are all chilled. Brrrr. Okay, now it's done. And you're no longer hasted, but you are chilled, which doesn't matter very much. since you're already in range. She goes right after me, right? Yes. And oh, you guys can't see the MIDI initiative? I can't see initiative. Yeah. It's because they don't have anything on the line and I can see it's like it's on my thing and it's not updating. I think I'm refreshing to have my up-to-date with what's going on on yours. Alright, well, yeah, so if you then Pip then Vis then probably Nia, I can't tell. There's nothing against using magical items in here as long as I don't actually steal them on turn. So I'm gonna do a quick scan around me to see if there's any weapons around here that might be useful against this mummy. Let's see. Suggestions Scarab Amulet Not matter what weapon The Kopesh of the Radiant Dawn Interesting Staff of the Solar Disk Depends, are you in a spellcasting mode or a slashing thing? Slashing. There's a big fancy golden Kopesh that looks radiant and magical As soon as it moves, it kind of sings and it leaves the shriek of sunlight. And it's blinding to the undead, including you. You're not looking at it. Okay. So this is going to have plus two crit, plus one crit power. What am I saying? This is a fair to say. Plus four crit, plus two crit. So how should I make that in my role? Ah, we'll just apply it. You know that sign. We just roll a claw then? Yeah, roll a claw and we're gonna add four to the crit range. The damage... Yeah, I guess damage is basically your way. I didn't do gold last time. No, that's wrong. I saw what it rolled on there was a 16 and then it gave me a 1. What the fuck is going on with the rolling? So yeah. And this shows a 22 on the other side of that, which is clearly not a natural one. 22, yeah. It's an error in the way this is written, which I don't know why. I tested all of this yesterday. It worked, but whatever. Okay, so yes, 22. And you have advantage. So I will apply advantage to that. Still 22. Well, it's magic. So yeah, 17 is the base damage, but since you roll the 17, that's a critical hit, which causes a radiant burst, and she's vulnerable to radiant damage. So 17 plus 34 times 2 is 85. She's blinded by the Radiance. Yeah, this is... This is an anti-undead weapon. It feels nice. It's kind of hefty. It's alchemical gold. So it's actually made of gold, but, you know, it's not terrible for making weapons. It's been magically hardened. You're not compelled to use the herb. I gotta try it again. Well, you haven't claimed the herb yet, but you do have a soul shot. Brainstole. You could learn a piece of information about the target, speak with the subject's voice. Interesting. Convince a magical effect that sings between the targets, redirect the target. You can use a chosen magical ability of the target, such as spell-like ability, class feature, supernatural ability. It knows every spell that exists or ever will exist and the ones that never existed. If that's helpful. I think, um... Oh, there's probably no way you can cast that as a Wooner House. Let me see. I'm not very familiar with this. This is probably one hour. Let's see. Masked Heal? What about True Resurrection? That's also one hour. Just turn her alive again. Bro, that's why I like it. You could Divine Word or... Oh, no, that's hit point based. Blade-bearing. Arm, heal. Reserent. Yeah, the Reserent takes an hour though. Wish doesn't. Oh, they got rid of Miracle. How does Wish work? Is it still used? XP? No. And I'm going to use this... I have Soul Shard. So... You can undo a single recent event... Can you resurrect something? I mean... Yeah, you could, in both ways. Okay. How did you get that knowledge? You're supposed to pass my trials. This is bullshit. Yeah, you can just learn how to cast Wish for one hour. Why doesn't it cost anything anymore? What the fuck? Why doesn't Wish cost anything? What the f- There's no- there's- there's- Crazy. In-game risks and limitations. I don't see these limitations. The dream has a great latitude in reeling what occurred in such an instance. It might fail. The effect you desire might only be partially achieved. So I guess I'm supposed to monkey spy. Yeah. Alright. All those fun, the terrible what you wish for situations. After damage a few times you cast a spell. Until you finish a long rest, you take necrotic damage. That can't be reduced or prevented in any way. Your strength drops to three for two d four days. For each of those days you spend resting into another one of light activity, your recovery time improves. So you can cast Wish if you want to. What was the consequence on that? Was assuredly that the probability? You will take necrotic damage on spells you cast for a rest of the day. And you are resistant to that. And your strength will be three for a while. Worth it. Yes. What is the wording of your wish? Also, there's a 33% chance that you will never be able to cast Wish ever again. When you use the wishbone to duplicate resurrection, the casting time becomes one urge. especially he can't take hostile actions. There's that too, I suppose. You could imprison her. You touch a dead creature, da da da, soul screen, well it has to be willing. So resurrection is not going to be willing. Resurrection is not going to be willing. They have to be willing. But you could do other things. You probably can't resurrect Khalid Ma I... Richard Burr... Send her to the afterlife? No, I'm not concentrating on her anymore. Okay. Or something that's powerful. I want to send her back to the boy. No! No, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, we can make a deal! No, please don't. We can make a deal! It's different than the strategist is doing. She does something out of character. You look up, you look... She manifests a Ninth Order spell. The only arcane magic you've ever seen her wield, symbols appearing everywhere. The arcane words are coming with a voice that is not hers. And you're like, holy... You're like, eh, that's a dangerous spell. You're trying to... you remember everything that you seek, so you can figure out later what the fuck... which forms the seeds and like you and appearing behind the orb is a black hole. The gravity bent accretion disc and all that and it's shaking like wait, wait, wait, let's be reasonable about this. She looks on in horror. She just stops fighting and is like wait, What the fuck? No. No, no, no. This is her. She's gone completely voidy, and she's just commanding this... I'm gonna try, I'm gonna rush the... I'm gonna rush the gorm. Let's see. What do you got? You, uh, oh, there's no inspiration. That's the goal. I'm trying to get it. I'm trying to see if you have sufficient inspiration. Relics of the past? This is saving her voice. So if she doesn't get this orb, she loses the chance of getting her voice back. So that's kind of the inspiration I'm running with right now. That makes sense. You can burn that inspiration to gain an instant reaction. Now, what is that reaction? No, I'm supposed to trade with Siggy. If she trades it, she can get it. Literally. It's the only way possible. What action shall you take? I'm looking at... I was gonna space this it. It's Pat... Piggy. You could temporarily accelerate and touch it before she does it and then claim it for yourself, which isn't exactly what the Queen wanted you to do. Well, we had to get it back to hers, so... In many interpretations, temporal stasis protects an object or creature from short-shoots by a wish spell, because the target is removed from the normal flow of time. You don't have wish spell. No, but she has temporal stasis. I'm gonna stasis the work. So she gets... If it works. If it works, it works. Because... it's... this is a ritual casting. There are consequences for that. I assume... You did one very small ritual earlier today. You have the energy for this. Okay, well let me double check. For energy... So you did no ritual cleansing, cool. Waste energy... cost... What is the energy source? Grab something... you don't have a ritual circle. This is the hardest way to ritually cast. You don't have time to make a buffer. This is just like an instant, one-second spell. Did you say there wasn't an Implenum around? There is. Yeah, you might be able to grab something and use it as a focus or an energy source. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, fuck it. You grab the staff, that's got plenty of fucking energy in it. Or the falchion, it's already in your hand. Roll. There's multiple rolls. So... I need a cheat sheet. This is such a huge document. Right, base DC. Base DC is 23. You only need one seed pass. Energy cost is whatever that file chain has in it. Minimum action cost is one standard action per seed, so you're good there. Spell parameters, normal I think, just regular old temporal stasis. Targeting areas, normal, action cost, normal, duration, normal. Bespoke spell. No, this is temporal stasis, it's a regular spell. It's DC 23, there are multiple chests. First, plant. There's gotta be a better way. I need an infographic. Where's the DCs? DC. There's 39 hits. Got it. Okay, the plan. So intelligence check made by the leader. That's you. You're like, okay, what am I gonna do? What spell? 10 real stations. Perfect. Room intelligence. A plan failure doesn't automatically fail everything. You are... Oh, you have a little advantage, I got my turn. Okay, that's fine. You accurately plan to cast the spell. Ritual cleansing. Don't have time. It takes several hours. All right. You begin. Phase one, the beginning is when you first actually cast the spell. You are now committed to the spell. It is going to have some sort of result. It is possible to cancel a ritual spell, but that itself is a complex process. You are the leader of the spell. Energy is building up. You are concentrating. Phase two, the buildup. This is where you keep the ritual alive while you provide the necessary energy. It's right there. You have it. Done. Nothing disturbs you during phase two. Phase three, the release. At this point you are channeling all the energy into the- I'm casting with the radiant light at the- using the radiant light as a casting. First you- yes. First you roll a check to endure the pressure strain of the shaping, then you roll a balance balance in check. So roll a wisdom check to endure the energy. I feel like that should scale with the energy. Well, no, because then it would be like DC 1000 for the big spells. Something happened, huh? Wisden is broken. Try a raw die. Your Wisden... Plus zero. So this one's not gonna be easy. Nothing still. Reload. Wisden checks to maintain his concentration scale with the rising energy now with the spells for an ADC. Final Wisdom check is the primary DC. Check your dice again. Disturbance, Failure. Final Endurance check, Failure. If this check this counts as a disturbance, effectively you didn't force the energy to collapse so it remains in the ritual. But if the participants recover, the ritual continues. This one is recoverable, although it would cause you to fail at what you're trying to do. So it would be kind of pointless to recover. Right. You're still inspired. A row of advantage. 17 plus... So what am I looking for? Well... Because a 17 wasn't the higher. What can you... How come she's getting advantage? She's inspired. I see. Okay. Can you... learned something else. You can't react to your own reaction. Mask of filtering. Rage? That makes spellcasting pretty hard. Cloak of Displacement? Eugh. Isn't Biss wearing that? The problem is you don't have all that much wisdom to speak of. In fact, your wisdom is plus zero. So this is the hardest one for you to use. Celestial Parasite? I'm going to make a fucking... She's gonna make a devil's bargain with a Celestial Parasite and be like, if you don't do this for me, I am not functioning within this body anymore, and you can deal with a fucking... I just lie down. You cannot move. One of those... Are you on... I suppose you're on speaking terms in this moment. Yes. ...prevents thoughts from being red, so for being stolen... ...would it change the bargain? I told you that she doesn't have the order. is wise. It's too dangerous. I can offer you aid. Trying to think what condition, what is evil? The next time you use a dangerous ritual to rejuvenate a dead tree of what you like, I require that you refrain from a danger of yourself and my only chance of redemption. You gain the power of Sanction. He doesn't actually help you concentrate on the ritual, and it doesn't turn into a spell. And the orb falls into the room. And you're like, hey, what? What are you doing? You still have the spell. She was fucking fully furious. You are now enraged. You cannot concentrate anymore. So... Based energy versus full... I'm just gonna go full energy. It's not that much energy. You didn't spend three hours pumping energy into this thing. I'll say, yeah, it's in that. And you were doing Tempest, so Tempest again. Roll 2d6. She screams in this voice that kind of sounds like hers, but technically is the selection. Nine. That category is silly. So I'm gonna need all four of you guys to roll a d100. Then I'll tell you what happens. Oh boy. Well, this is a weird way for this fight to end. Okay. Celestials don't run. He did help you. He's protecting you. Oh, you are immune to this. He's sanctuary-ed you. Oh, that's right. I'm safe. But just everyone else though. Everyone else because I'm sanctuary. He protected you. There is a D100 in the dice roll in the chat. No, I- 86. Her tones were clear. She said, do this or I go limp. She's fucking- Then he said, yes, but then he said, I will help you if you do that thing. That's the deal you agreed to. He's not very friendly. Oh, is that 30? Okay. I'm not doing this with you anymore. What did you get on your D1-er? I got... Well, I just... Hold on. Use the physical dice, they're right there. Because this fight is about to get silly. Oh. I can rewind time and get... 96. That's what I'm gonna do. Now I'm gonna rewind. 96. So... I don't think you can age, but it is just the appearance. So you look like a wizened elder Eladrin, but you have your normal abilities. Vis and Nia look like Tars. And... so in this... the ritual. Fucking through it! I've been a fucking boy. The staff is pretty, but no longer better. Yeah, and we're gonna let another sorcery queen be born. Period. It doesn't fucking matter, she can be toppled! She can be fucking toppled! Because they told you they defeated her. They hid in their fortresses. That was mine. She's actually kind of looks like she's calmed down a bit. You did not take me off, babe. If you leave, take nothing else. Oh my goodness, boy. No, I'm not. I mean, we could send you to the Grey and you could be with your lost love. It was only a couple rounds ago. I'm gonna rewind time. Well, it's not your turn. After it gets my turn. It's business turn. I'm just gonna say, look, I think everyone in this room wins if I do this. I'm still taller than I can. He's apparently just as strong as normal, as weird as that is, so... Natty! Sorry, lady. You just got Natty. And he is not unhasted anymore, so he could do it for us. Double Natty. Two Nat 20s. Good night. I love that this has been toddler form too. This is... He looks like Yoda. He just jumped up like six feet to stab her in the back. And it's 90 damage plus 60 ongoing, so she's up to 90 ongoing. Cool. Nia somehow manages to look like serene and compassionate as a toddler. I agree. And also with... We would be better... No, no, no! Radiant beam of death. That should be heavy damage. That's 56 damage. As An collapses to her knees, her undead skin burnt to the crisp by the light, the toddler manages to somehow look sympathetic. Follow this light. As the light vanishes from An's eyes, Long, long vigilance has ended. Her body dissolves into dust. The armor. Just that. And here standing where the orb used to be, So you can reverse the effects on an object or creature that you can see from the range. You're not actually rewinding all of time. Unless, of course, you attempt a powerful tempest ritual that is dangerous and puts your body in danger. You lie down. Yes, absolutely. Ms. Grabher, it's time to go. Ms. Grabher, it's time to go. Ms. Grabher. Ms. Grabher. She's planking. Technically he can help you. And like a reverse funeral, you carry the stiff out of the tomb. You gotta get out of the kitchen, that wasn't your decision to make. We didn't want our decision for the whole entire group because you deemed it appropriate. That was totally inappropriate. We're gonna have to... We got so much stuff in town. I don't want to leave it all... No, you should go back and grab it. Yeah. But she's gonna be looking like this. Well, she doesn't know if I can. I don't know if I can ride a fucking beast like this. I don't... It's true. The two of us can fit on yours. This is ridiculous. No, she made a deal if she would have had to make good on, on delivery of the item and then make it a fucking broken. Her reaction that that was the only solution, that is absolutely falling. I mean, I'm pretty bummed about losing all the boons and whatnot. You don't understand what I'm saying. As you ascend. You are not one of my fucking benefits for men. Apparently. No, you think you did the betterment for everybody by that action. You're just being so... What if you've been having this fucking game, you boy creature? What the fuck do you care about us? As you emerge into the light. You see a couple of things. You see three destroyed obsidian golems. And you see... Phantom Hand. Where's the orb? It wasn't there. Did you bring your kids? No, the fucking Archadise fucked up her spell and screwed everybody. This is hilarious. This isn't even fair. We don't have the orb. You won't find them here. I don't know. Go ahead and steal the treasure and see what happens. That'll be fun. One of them is a Hindu who walks over is looking... nothing? Nothing? It's not going for a minute too if you take nothing! They don't have it. But... the time, get out of our way of the game. It assumes that you're just questioning usability and leads the party into the tomb. Well, I guess we can just get out of here. There's a little storm cloud that sticks in her. Oh no, there's dirt carrying her the whole fucking way. She's not going anywhere. Scrap her to the Chakamoe. Scrap her to the Krodlu. I'm not sure how I'm physically capable of this. It's gonna take him a while. There's all the trials and shit, riddle and all that stuff. Yeah, that's true. So, you start popping. And within a few hours... Actually, within one hour, you don't look like toddlers and elders anymore. I don't think that was done. But probably among the more benign things that could have happened. And you see somebody. It's a very clear night. You see someone sort of appear. You see the arcane fire of a portal. He scans around when he sees you. When he teleports most of a mile, it's one of yours. The last time you saw him, he was doing battle The stone-faced Eidolon He's as ever overdressed. He's a fancy lad, black, all black, like some sort of like school uniform for rich nobles. He carries a staff. That's what I saw. But you've seen well. Phantom Heart, give you any trouble? They're only going to get themselves into trouble. Yeah, they're trying to get the orb, but there is no problem. I sent it to the void. Why is there something to you? Because she wanted to trade it to get her voice back, but it's not actually her voice, it's just a dragon voice. When she knows her real voice, she doesn't know that. I do, though. You didn't hear any of that. I don't know what you said out loud. It's going to be very dangerous to her. There's a shorter way. We can't just teleport. There's people that need us. We gotta go get our stuff. They'll suffer the consequences of our actions. Not particularly wanted. Can I give them the mental picture? Yeah. You know where they are. You give them a safe password or something. They'll be taken care of. For now, you need the safe. It opens a portal all the way to tears. is more powerful than anything that exists. No, we're going back to the city. You guys can go. I'll find my way back to Tyr. I don't feel like traveling with you. I've been to the train and I don't feel like traveling together right now. He looks to the others. See you. I'll look at him. The Crodlu's there a little. I'm not comprehensive about this magic portal. It's just you and Alistair. Right, the Kaiser of the Lovar, Talies. I may be able to help. I don't need one. He's warm against the cold in the desert. Soothing. I have something I can't be without. Perhaps, another way to get it. I'm sure she guards her treasures. It's one of the two bears. I doubt she parts with an elephant. It's one of her regalia. I'm not much assertive, but I've read many texts. I had wondered how a couple of books could be real. But if it is the author you speak of, and I hope she came into possession centuries ago. That doesn't mean she doesn't have a serious illness. How did you lose her in her place? I was able not to deliver it to her because she So she threw it in the middle of battle. I tried to stasis the item and then they aged in my face. Difficult to the heat of the moment. Precisely cast a ritual but glad that it didn't go any worse. I wouldn't want to face that about. They will be disappointed. When they get to the bottom of the screen, they'll be like something. That money, perhaps. But before that, oh. How did you lose the love of me? So I am drawn from that series. It's abstract, meaningless glyphs, but that's the thing about the arcane. The whole art of the arcane is using things that don't have any meaning. It's not a language. It's a necessity to protect Otherwise, rend your memories and identity. But if you're in a situation where you have to use abstract art to communicate, being an arcanist is a good way to practice for that. We're on intelligence check to encode the information He's marked 16 plus... I'd say 7? 5? Okay, that's very... 21. I see. I would rather... face him than content. So it's for King, he made me a bunch. He doesn't have it anymore. He has a bad gambling habit. That's the only reason I'm a part of this skill. I thought it might be for Irene to use the arcade the way humans do. Setsu, Your Voice. It's not easy. Let's go somewhere safe. Everyone teleports around like they're going out of style. But this one... Do you have any glennials? No. It's not. The vortex. How about... He wraps his loaded cloak around you. over the horns. It's a little tricky. She opens a portal to Kalid. We will determine where she's keeping the structure. Thank you. Kube and I have a hint found. Alistair, of course, would only stay at one place. The house of the finest accommodation in the house. You actually see a few people milling about. It's like 10 o'clock or so, so there's still some nightlights. Fancy people that you don't recognize. And one that you do... I guess disguised as dicks? It's really about... to shield your face from view and not look super suspicious in the process. That's essentially what I think is. You have to stay in the crowd. It's all about body language. You see Anak-su, the priestess. She's not on Dakhan's arm at the moment. You see her like, fuck, and hold that check. She rolls her wisdom. I'm just hiding behind. She doesn't seem to recognize... 18, so pretty good. My dex isn't bad, so I think that's a 20. Now you roll a Wisdom check. Why is that so- why would- is she a scion? That's not very good. That's only 11 on the Wisdom. She appears to not notice. She goes about her business. She pretends she doesn't notice. She's in good health. comes to it. He hands you a Star Sapphire. I have an idea. Crush this and it will take you a second. No portal, just instantaneous. What's your idea? I'm not going to be able to get and get her to trade just as she is. Dangerous, but more dangerous than stealing. Leads to the obsidian. That's easy. And I'm for power. He's kind of got like magician, you don't know if it's like his gloves of storing or something, but with like a magician's flair he produces a chunk of crystal that couldn't possibly have been obviously. You've seen this. This was the keystone to that seal that had held in the idol. He's actually retained quite a bit of attention. Maybe not as well. You've reached his... He somehow found an even higher class room than yours. It does like his fanciness. And they work on it together all night. You're planning, you're basically designing a magic item and you'll have to put in like, you know, the compulsion, the test. Yeah. Maybe just say like, you know, If it's anyone but Kat-Tet, it'll just kill them. Or whatever, feeble-minded them. You don't actually need a test. But they'll be adequate enough for her to see at least if anybody else touches it. I mean, hopefully she can use the solution to claim it there and then throw them. And if she does, that's not a sense. I'm not sure you're gonna make a fake over her. I'm trying to pawn it off to her. I mean, maybe. That'll be an interesting scene. She'll be wearing her regalia. I guess your rage is kind of subsided into, you're channeling it into your creativity. Next time... I feel like this is going to be an amazing jewel crafting challenge for Rage. The Rage is going to make this the best duke she could possibly need. He's got so much magic items he doesn't need and stuff from adventures, so there's a lot of energy to put in this. It's like opening a cage. It just needs to look like a glowing jewel. Ooh, glowing jewel. All of the secrets you want. I actually recommend you can take some... So to make the actual obsidian orb... I mean, it's a lot of obsidian, but you guys have some money. But if you... If you buy just a bunch of obsidian crutches into powder... and you can use Port of to turn it into a crystal. See, I can help you. Dakhan, what part are you at? Plus, I needed some more Alex. The Rage Neanta manifests in... she was in her feels, like there was not going to be much... Yeah, you should pick up a... It's like on the coping skills, executive coping skills, like I know I'm about to rage out if I stay with you again. We better part ways for a little bit so I can get it somewhere else. Grab a, you should make a stage citron. It sets your wisdom to 22. Yeah, I was gonna say I need to make something to get to resolve my wisdom problem. All I'm gonna do is just like I'm never gonna make that mistake again. I'm never gonna lie on that fucking celestial and this I need to get him out. I need to get you out of my brain. This is like one of the only times I've been in a position to do a deal with an outsider. It's a very celestial. But even so, outsider's gonna out-sign him. He didn't technically break his word. He didn't want to help you actually achieve what you're trying to achieve. Well, I should enforce the specific wording we just talked about earlier with the Wish. I was like, I know better than that. The problem is, he's an answerer. He's just got so many feels, smoldering, resentments. He doesn't blame you exactly, although he does know that if not for you, he would have been free 2,000 years ago. But it doesn't matter. This is a road to the end of the day. Exactly. That's what he's really upset about. And he's a little... He's a little too wise to blame you for the actions at all. I don't know if he'd be willing to lie. He'd be interested in this project if you could somehow explain what it is without telling him. Exactly. I'm like, no, I don't
