Previously on Stories of the Greyhill Free Company.
Yeah, it's got religious significance to it.
You think it'd be worth a pretty penny if you were to take it?
Right. Well, I'm still worried about that curse, so I don't.
With her eyes closed, she does not see what you see,
as a soft light begins to emanate from the golden band,
and she opens her eyes and immediately catches the light glowing off the band.
You hear a tremendous crack, and then the light glowing off the band. You hear a tremendous crack and then the light
begins to fade. As the light
fades, you see that Chantel
is sitting up. Does she just need
to cry? That seems rude.
Not everyone's a crier.
You walk into
like a solid jelly.
Am I in the jelly?
It's a slime.
You're in the jelly. Oh, I forgot about slime. Can I try and cut my way out of the jelly? It's a slime You're in the jelly Oh, I forgot about slimes
Can I try and cut my way out of the jelly?
And would you like to be pushed back?
Back
Or to the sides?
To the sides
Alright
6d6
6d6, yeah
6d6, that is insane
Do I know flame or frost would be a bit
I'll probably be flame
I'll just produce flame.
And I'll huck flame at it.
I would like to attack with my halberd and duck in, duck out, duck in, duck out.
Look, it's a war by attrition.
He looks behind him, looks at the gelatinous cube, looks at the two of you and says,
Don't let me die like this.
As it slams into the wall of debris,
you see just by the hairs of his chinny chin chin,
Love is Blind leaps out from in between,
hits the ground, rolls and stands up.
All right.
Big T, bring this home.
I would like to finish him.
You hit.
One hit point left.
You slice.
The entire time this jelly had been losing consistency,
it had become strung out more and more and more.
With this final slash, it begins to lose all of its form,
and it just kind of becomes a puddle and a snail trail of oozing poison and acid.
I was wondering how they die.
Like the idea that an ooze would just fall over is very funny.
Yeah, I do.
I imagine them as a proper cube.
And there's just the idea that there's the alive half of like,
there's the alive version of cube.
And then on its side being a cube on its side is dead. Like coming across a cube being like, wait, is's the alive version of cube and then on its side being a cube. On its side is dead.
Like, coming across a cube being like, wait.
Is it dead?
Oh, no, this one looks dead.
This one looks on its side.
How the fuck can you tell?
The history of gelatinous cube is that they are a six-sided dice.
So on, like, a player's mat thing.
Oh.
Because they, you know, back in the day,
they didn't used to have lots of figurines and stuff like that.
People were like, well, if we make one that's just a cube.
So easy.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That's wild from an imagination-based community.
Yeah, I'll cure wounds myself.
All right.
You recover nine hit points.
Excellent.
Okay.
That was fun and scary.
Very scary
I'd like to have a little chug-a-lug of my second poche
You chug-a-lug away?
Oh right I rolled that
And what would that do for me Adam?
I'm so sorry
Please be able to have
Please excuse me
I'm fucking
Hi my name is Adam Cannavale
And I'm fucking stupid
You recover six hit points
Who's stupid?
Oh my god
You walk now into the blacksmithy, maybe a little bit more wary.
Yes, a bit more wary.
I walk with my helmet in front of me in case of second ooze.
You are safe.
Overturning the blacksmith, giving it a once over,
the one once over that you didn't give it previously,
you find sitting in a chest that isn't locked,
you just open the chest,
inside is a set of banded male armor
that you recognize from the description
as the armor of ethereal manipulation.
Yeah, we've got this one.
That was easy.
Do you know what it does, by any chance?
It allows you to cast Mage Hand once per day,
and while wearing it, you can see into the ethereal plane.
Ew.
Am I too big for it?
Highs or lows?
Highs.
That's about human size.
Maybe even, well, yes, it would fit you.
Is it better than her current nothing?
I believe it is heavy armor, so you actually can't wear it and get barbarian stuff.
Perhaps Chantal could wear it.
Oh, a little present that she has to give back
Yes, well, at the end, of course
I would actually assume you still have her armour
Her armour is quite expensive, so she probably still has it
She would have been carrying it with her
Oh yeah, that would have been rude
Well, we could keep exploring the point to the barracks
Clean up those.
There's also other places here you've not been.
Like you've not really scoured the individual stalls
and you've not had a look properly at that pillar of light
coming from the whole place to the ceiling.
The pillar of light potentially is a way out maybe.
So what do we look at there?
Go to the pillar of light first.
Have a look.
I mean we're kind of done, yeah?
Yeah, but it might be.
Well, you've got what you came for.
Well, this will get us the quest complete, but there might be other things around.
True, there might be more things for more money.
And look, they did say, hey, if there's any other armours around or any of the magical items to return that.
But, like, if they don't know and it benefits us, well, it's the best thing about an adventurous life, you know?
You move through the rubble towards the light.
Interesting, interesting.
Can I get one of you to make the encounter check?
That was a good catch.
That was really impressive.
Thank you.
Four.
Four? All right.
You get to the giant shaft of light that dapples down from above.
Sure enough, looking up, you can see that there is outside access through here.
There are vines and creepers hanging over the edge.
And you can even see some trees that have somehow managed to survive at such an odd and irregular angle.
Maybe like there are branches and whatever slowly
bending back upwards towards the light you can also see dangling off the side here there are
several sets of ropes winches pulleys and what looks like makeshift or some sort of elevator
uh manual elevator sort of mechanism. It looks ancient
and old.
I can pull it.
Hop on, hop on.
It's so high up.
Will that catch you?
You recognize it as looking
vaguely dwarven in origin.
It's mostly made out of
metal and rope, so which are
not classically dwarven
materials, but you can not classically dwarven materials
but you can definitely just tell
dwarven origin for these.
There's many of them.
Quite a few.
This would be dwarvish
so I guess this was a way of them coming in and out
so it was part of the original structure.
Something also to say, sorry I completely forgot
you could see that the roof
must have fallen down
because there is a layer of dirt covering everything down here.
So it's not an elevator.
It's like, or is an elevator.
So there's a hole in the roof.
Yep.
The hole has been caused by the roof collapsing downwards.
It's a very clean collapse as well.
It looks oddly very circular.
Okay.
And dangling over the side in addition to
plant vegetation and whatnot that has just grown around here there are ropes and pulleys with like
you know the sorts of things that window washers use to clean the side of yeah i don't know what
the name for those are but yeah they they're made out of ropes so they've just been like thrown over
the side several of them are collapsed some are still standing but out of ropes. So they've just been like thrown over the side. Several of them have collapsed.
Some are still standing, but all of them look like they have been here for quite some time.
So it's one of those kind of things where I believe it was like a pulley system where you had the, I guess, the platform.
And that was, I guess, flush with the earth up top.
And just over time, it was up there and has fallen in a little bit.
So if we wait long enough, it'll just get here?
Well, it's in theory, yeah.
How long do we have to wait?
Not that long.
You can see the fighting here was the fiercest.
So it's just like a raised platform that kind of goes up and down.
No, it's not one raised platform.
It's many small raised platforms.
Yeah, many smaller raised platforms.
Yeah, okay.
So the series of events seems to be there was something here, more of the market area.
The roof collapsed onto that market area, and then these elevators, if you will, were thrown over the edge.
Many small ones.
Oh, so these were more like an invading force.
These are not part of...
It looks, yeah, it looks heavily like it could have been part of an invasion.
I understand what's going on.
So I thought it was initially built by the people who made this area,
but it's not.
I guess it was what the invading forces were using.
So they came from above.
Interesting.
Looks like, yeah.
Okay.
Is there any way of dislodging them?
Anything down here?
Any ropes that have fallen down a bit closer to us?
Well, they don't look necessarily operable,
but several of the elevators are still here and intact.
Yeah, so we could perhaps, with a bit of ingenuity,
get some of these elevators working and we could get up out of there
and look at Love is Blind.
Oh, so you look at love is blind for ingenuity.
Okay, no,
I see how it is. Well, you tried to put a hole
in a bathtub. I don't see this.
Tree Stomp does not see how it is.
Love is blind looks suspiciously at the rope,
strokes his chin, ropes, there are
many, many, many, many, many, many.
It's very big. Very big space.
Very many of these elevators.
Some broken, some not.
He walks over to the nearest one
that seems to be largely intact,
gives an experimental tug on the rope.
The rope snaps almost immediately.
And this elevator,
they're all connected by two ropes.
All of the intact ones are connected by two ropes.
This one is now only connected by one rope.
He looks at it and he says,
we could try to see if any of them work, but this one does not.
Yes.
The vines up there, could I use entangle to get the vines to grow down?
Is that how that, can I use a spell in the spirit of the spell
as opposed to the mechanics, Adam?
Probably not, but only because it's so far
away. The range of the spell
I might have allowed that
but the range of this spell is I think only
20 feet? 90 feet. 90 feet, yeah
whereas this distance is maybe
closer to 200 feet.
Love is blind. Yes.
Can you just climb up and check?
How would I do that? The walls.
I do not think I can climb these walls.
They come nearly upside down.
Is that not how tabaxi work?
Tabaxi work how I decide they work.
I have decided that a climb speed is not the spell web.
You can't climb upside down.
But people who do bouldering do, it's fine.
I could try, but
if I fell, that would kill me.
I'll catch you. No,
I'm not going to pressure the cat to
do something. You could if you
wanted to. I've seen cats do that.
He's quite a...
You've seen cats do that? This, in this
dwarven market square, you've seen cats
climb up along the side and up to the
hole that another dwarven clan punched in the roof and then climb
and then see if they can.
How about, you've seen that, have you?
You don't know I haven't.
Well, what about, look, why don't we test the ropes?
Because we have pittance and we have rope.
If worse comes to the worse, we could kind of jail rig something
where you do scale the walls and pittance things in,
so it's dangerous for you.
So we just pull them? I'm just going to go
around and start tugging at every rope?
We've got the 100 feet plus we have
50 feet. I think every
member has 50 feet of rope so
5, 10. You would probably need
more rope than that
still. I guess if you didn't have one
continuous thing. Look you
could do this, sure, but it'd
take a while. That's what I'm saying. That is our worst
case scenario.
I'm in the background tugging every rope.
No, no, no. Let's just
get... Well, you get at least one.
Before you realise
what they're doing. You tug
on the nearest rope, I assume?
The nearest rope holds firm.
It's good. It is good.
Okay.
Don't we need to test them?
Yes, but you're very strong, I guess.
Yeah, and then if I can do it in a safe, then everyone will be safe.
Yes, good point.
Yes.
I can't go on them.
I'm too big.
Look, Fia, we'll test all the ropes.
I pulled the ropes, so I'm strong.
You are very strong, big T.
I know where I help.
I have skills that are utilized best.
Yes, yes.
Are waterlized, utilized.
Utilized best.
It's very good.
Yes.
It's utilized, but utilized also works.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Yes, it is.
Okay.
Let's go and tug on them.
Hey, love, let's just stand back
un petit. I like that you're
calling him love. That's funny.
It's so good. It's very cute.
So the two of you stand back. You're going to
pull another rope. Do you care which one? Just the next
one in sequence? I'm going to go
anything above you.
You don't want it to fall on your head. It's okay.
I'll duck.
Alright, give me an average of 31.
31!
31?
Ooh, you don't want 31.
Are you sure you don't want another number?
Why, what's 31?
I don't know, 31's not great.
Do you want a different number?
No, I want to see what 31 is.
Alright, well, last chance. 31's not great. Do you want a different number? No, I want to see what 31 is. All right.
Well, last chance.
If you say yes, I'm going to give you 31, but you can't change your mind.
I'm picking 31.
I know you wrote these.
Loyalty card.
The next merchant you meet gives you a discount.
Oh.
Oh.
I see what you've done, Adam.
What have I done?
Because I was just making that up.
They're all good things.
You already have that one.
Yeah, the last time I picked a card, I said, let's go 31.
There you go.
Now you've got it twice.
The next two merchants you meet give you a discount.
It feels really bad to play a character with no intelligence
and then do this when I'm not in character.
Yeah.
It feels bad. but now i have
two loyalty cards thank god i'm charming so are you are you gonna just pull the next rope in
sequence or whatever oh yeah it's a game to tree stump the next rope seems firm as well good next
and now a quick word from our sponsor also do you know we do far too many things?
Like, we've gone and adapted one of our campaigns into a novel.
So if you're sick of listening to us and want to instead enjoy your own voice narrating an adventure,
just head to SandsPantsRadio.com and grab your copy of The Auticus today.
Print run is limited, but it is available as an e-book, or grab them both in a bundle.
Once again, that's
SantsPantsRadio.com
The next rope comes away.
Okay, not this one. I say
holding the rope in my hand.
Do you just want to go around the entire circle? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really quick, really strong
little tugs. Highs or lows?
Highs.
Highs?
Preparing a cure spell.
You find one of the elevators looks like it's still very firmly in place.
Oh, this one's really good.
You give it like a really good tug and it doesn't budge at all.
It feels very firmly entrenched.
I think I could do this one.
I won't, but I could.
Yeah, let's.
You don't think you could move it if you wanted to?
As in not the elevator up and down, just the rope side of them moorings?
Oh, brilliant.
Great.
This one's too strong for me.
Jump in.
Jump in.
I'll pull you.
No, not yet.
So we have an exit strategy, which is great.
But we still, I guess.
Can I get you to roll the encounter die again?
Five. Five. Cool. Keep going. So there's still, I guess, down there if you to roll the encounter die again? Five.
Keep going. So there's still, I guess,
down there if we want to explore there, and there's still
the zombies up there if we
need to get rid of them.
Plus we still probably should check on
Eola and...
Tippi Cup. Tippi Cup, yes.
We still have Tippi Cup and
Eola to grab.
At this point you've been away for maybe an hour or two.
Do you think they finished finishing being sad?
I do not think they are sad right now.
No, they had to finish being sad because now it's happy.
I think we were there when they finished being sad.
Yes.
But sometimes it takes a while
and your whole body has to get used to not being sad anymore.
Do you reckon they're done?
I don't think they're...
Yes, I think they are.
I think they're done being sad, yes.
They might be otherwise engaged.
I think they're in the happiness part of life right now.
That's good.
Sometimes it takes a while.
Yes.
Yes, it does.
I suppose it does, yes.
But you think they're still busy?
Yes.
Maybe.
I do not know.
Then why say we have to go back?
Eventually, I say we should, like, for example,
you say, hop on, let's go.
I would say let's wait until we get there,
we're reunited with our party members.
We could go back and check.
We could check.
Yes, we could.
All right, then, let us do that.
Yes, well, do you want to look at the stalls while we're here,
or do you want to just head back?
We can have a look at the stalls.
Sure.
I'd rather just go up and have a little sticky peek at what's up there.
Yeah, well, I would prefer that we were all there together,
because that's how, that's us getting out, yes.
Okay.
Yes. All right, so what was our decision... That's how it's getting out, yes. Okay. Yes.
All right.
So what was our decision?
Let's go to the stools.
All right.
Can I get you to roll the encounter die?
Ten.
Ten?
Hell yeah.
No.
No!
No!
It comes through the hole and then echoes through this entire chamber.
You hear something big flying outside.
The reverberation of its wings echoes deeply and loudly.
Other than that, nothing happens.
Is it the same wing kind of noise that we have encountered previously?
Seems like, yeah.
Okay.
It's outside.
It's not in here. And it doesn't sound like it's coming here. It just, yeah. Okay. It's outside, it's not in here, and it doesn't sound like
it's coming here. Just flies past.
Oh. You don't get to see it because you're in here.
Are we anywhere near where we were previously?
Like, in terms of, it's like, I guess, hunting
grounds? You could, well,
you were a little bit
outside what you thought its hunting grounds were.
Oh. Well, that's
interesting.
Well, I suppose we're away from our house
Good point
We're busy
Is it a good point?
I assume it's whatever the hunting ground was for that
We filled you in, didn't we, love?
I'm sorry, I get confused because you keep calling me love
I forget that is part of my name
What was the question, sir?
We were told to investigate some kind of whim,
and we found it.
Well, we found perhaps its nest.
Oh, I heard about this.
Yes, I think that was...
You found a dead dragon?
Yes, yes, it was a gushed in half.
And a lot of things.
A lot of things, yes.
Quite up high.
You took my accent there for a second when you said things. Yes, things. We all of things. A lot of things, yes. I'm quite up high. You took my accent there for a second when you said things.
Yes, things.
We all remember things.
We all like things.
Yes, quite a lot of things.
But it's quite up high and, yes,
I don't know what could do that to a dragon.
I've never encountered anything like that in any of the books I've read.
I do not know either.
At that point, we'll say...
Let's say, Big T,
you're scrounging around
where the market stalls are. Big T,
you grab this giant sheet
covering a...
You're not sure what it is, but it's maybe about as big
as a cart, and you pull it
off. As you pull it off,
you reveal a giant blista or ballista depending
if you want to be nasty or not the ballista sits on a a swivel so it can like be turned left and
right and instead of having any sort of proper wheels or anything like that it's got like a
table would have it's got four giant legs it's mostly
made out of wood and the wooden legs are carved into the form of elephant's feet awesome yes i
found the barista oh yeah oh our barista yeah when you start talking big t it turns as far as it can
to look at you it can't turn the entire way so the wooden legs begin to move, and it starts turning
around.
Let's go to initiative.
Don't do it.
It's an animal.
What is this?
What?
I say, as I guess, I assume, a harpoon in my belly.
What?
You got to put the shape back on so it thinks it's nighttime again.
It's not a bad idea.
Big T, you're first.
All that's done so far is turn around.
I put the sheet back on.
All right.
You throw the sheet over a corner of it,
but you can't get it very far on.
Why?
It's easier to drag it off than it is to put it back on.
The sheet is made out of canvas.
It looks like this sheet was actually just the covering for a market stall.
That's this big, heavy canvas sheet.
And throwing it back on is not that easy a prospect.
You get it on one of the corners, but that's about it. Globble.
Um...
Grab the card inside.
Put it to bed again.
Uh... I want to
sidestep away,
because it tried to turn to Swivel.
It's, yeah, trying to turn itself around.
To us, yes.
It looks like it's trying to get to Big T.
Oh. Um... I will try to to, yes, I will try and go
I guess the same way it's swiveling, to try and
grab the corner of the canvas. Alright, so you're getting to it to grab
the canvas. Well, yes. You could do that and
also, I'm assuming, trying to put the canvas back on it? Yes, yes, yes.
Alright. Well, okay.
There's a lot of trust in Big D right now.
You do not know that is how this works,
but I applaud you for believing this is how it works.
Well, we work it up.
As if it's not how it works.
Is it an animal or is it a machine?
As if this isn't bird rules.
If you want, you can spend an action to try and assess what this thing is.
Well, I'll get into position and then I'll try to assess what it is.
Well, that would be instead of trying to put the top.
All right.
Oh, rude.
No trust for big T, I see.
I do trust you.
I'm getting in position to do such a thing.
I can see you thinking instead of moving.
He rubs his chin and goes, hmm.
I'm just going to quickly.
It doesn't look like it's an animal. It looks like it's a
ballista on
legs that is moving.
It's like an automaton.
Yeah, you can see that it's covered in
dwarven sigils and stuff
like that that glow with magic.
But beyond that...
Alright. Then it is
Big Love's turn.
If you two are doing that, he's going to join in He manages to get it over another corner, the back half is completely covered
No one's covering the front half for obvious reasons
And then it's its turn
It, I guess, is now facing you, Big D
The winch begins turning backwards
And the giant drawstring
is pulled back
and taut. A magical
bolt of fire appears
in the slot where a regular
ballistae shot would appear
and then it fires
it point blank at you.
Oh boy. Oh no.
Good news, it has disadvantage
because you're in melee range.
Okay.
Thank God I'm too close to the fire machine.
Well, actually, yeah, it misses you completely because it can't.
It's trying to aim and you're right there and obviously not trying to be hit.
So the bolt fires and you feel wind rushing in between your arm and your chest.
And then a rock behind you explodes.
And, well, that was all it can do right now.
And it is Big T, your turn.
Now, try to get away from its line of sight.
Can I just try and cut the rope?
Yeah, sure.
With what?
I reckon a hand axe is going to do the best job.
All right.
Hang on.
Are you asking this as in which weapon is going to be the more practical one
or which weapon do I have a better hit chance on?
Because my glaive has a better hit chance,
but I feel like a hand axe in practicality is going to be easier.
Well, the glaive actually does have a big curved edge
and you are trying to reach around a large object.
So actually in practicality-wise,
so in your head, you're imagining one thing,
but I am telling you that the glaive actually is probably more practical
and would do more damage as well.
And the halberd probably also.
Oh, the halberd, sorry, is what I meant.
The halberd has a curved edge as well.
I would like to use the halberd.
No worries.
You hit.
And remember, it's magical.
I'm going to take advantage of the beautiful curved edge.
You strike it with the halberd and deal 16 points of damage.
But did I cut the string?
You slam into the string, and the string reverberates.
But you know how...
So imagine if you've got a string that is taut,
just above a bit of wood, you like swing a knife down at
it now you could imagine that yes sometimes the knife would cut through the string but can you
also imagine that the knife just presses the string against the wood and then comes back off
just because of a lack of force or the wrong angle or something like that that is essentially what
happens here i'm not saying don't try to cut the string, I'm just saying that the string does not get cut
in this particular instance, and Globble,
you can see that this thing is obviously
magical. So there might be
magical stuff going on here as well,
you just don't know.
As in, like, Big T, you don't even know this
magic, for all you know, this is an animal.
Big T,
16 points of damage, Globble, what would
you like to do?
Love, if you could Big T, 16 points of damage Globble, what would you like to do? Love
If you could grab the corner
and drape it over, I could try and
catch the canvas on fire
and perhaps it'll just burn it down
Is it made from wood?
It is made of wood, yeah
Love is blind, nods and says
Yes, we can do this
Okay, well you go grab it, then I will produce flame.
So I'll take my turn after his turn, in terms of mechanic wise.
Love is blind, grabs the top, and heaves as hard as he can, and does not budge at all.
I'll help him do that, then.
All right.
So.
Oh, no.
I get a bad boy card.
Oh.
Oh, I sound coveted a bit more.
Between 1 and 29?
Yeah, let's go 16.
16?
Overtired.
Players receive a minimum amount of healing from rest.
Aww.
In addition, before it actually takes its turn,
I'm going to use one of my cards, Legendary Action.
It gets an extra shot, basically.
Aww.
It keeps trying to track you, Big T. It fires once's gonna fire a second time all right first time's a miss hey second time also a miss
two explosions behind you it can't get a good bead on you but every shot it fires you it just like waves of heat
washing over you and that was its turn big t what would you like to do i want to keep trying to
cover it keep trying to cover it yes all right big t you grab and heave you cover one more corner but
there's still one corner of it is uncovered and because of the nature and shape of this thing
you would need to cover all four corners if you wanted it
to have to shoot at least shoot
through the canvas like the
where it fires out of is still exposed
yeah that was big T
oh no sorry it's
love first
he's going to try to
no he can't
he's maybe climbed on top of it
And is like
Globble what would you like to do?
I'll try and cover it as well
You managed to get it completely covered
Okay good
Highs or lows?
Highs
As soon as it's covered it stops moving
We're out of initiative
Alright well That was something Let's just leave that there As soon as it's covered, it stops moving. Yeah. We're out of initiative. Oh, phew.
All right, well, that was something.
Let's just leave that there.
Leave it.
Leave it.
Good work.
Might prove useful if something comes down.
Well, it's a cool little pull-away trick.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, anything else in this market stall? Otherwise, let's probably go back to a tippy cup and yola.
Can I get you to roll the encounter dice?
Two.
You search the entire market area.
Most of the goods here have just
decayed over time or been looted
by other creatures or consumed
by creatures that eat things.
Yeah.
In total, you are able to scrounge
from money containers and stuff like that
10 gold.
That's it.
Oh, that's not nothing.
Well, so if we can go back to a group,
see what they're doing.
We still have the downstairs big area
if we wanted to keep exploring.
Don't know that we want to do that.
Or we can kind of just check in with the others
and see what's going on.
Let's go see Bath Time and Dippy Cup.
You head back to the chapel.
When you get back to the chapel,
you see that Chantel and
Yeola appear to be kidding up.
Chantel is
strapping herself into armor
and stuff like that, sharpening her weapon.
Yeola is doing similar, basically.
Chantal nods as you approach.
Pleasure to see you again.
There's a sight for sore eyes.
Welcome back.
She brings all three of you into a bit of a bear hug.
We embrace.
She doesn't need to initiate that.
Yes, we...
I say, Pippicab!
So glad that you're back with us.
After she's let go of each of you for your bear hug,
she kind of straightens her shoulders,
gives you a square look,
and each of you realize that the armor has come,
the metaphorical armor has come back up.
That's fair.
Well, we will manage to find the armor of the ethereal manipulation.
Chantal, you could perhaps utilize it if it's a bit better than what you're currently wearing.
That's up to you.
Also, there was that.
It fits.
Yes, it'll probably fit you better than does Big T over here.
I'm too big.
We also have, there was, I'm not sure if you've investigated
around here, but there was that dwarf who had a lot of
magical items on them.
I don't know if we wanted to
see if they could help us, but
I'm of the opinion probably to leave things
and let things lie.
I do not wish to pilfer from the dead if we can avoid it.
That's my opinion as well.
So
we have this manipulation armor, if you would like to wear it.
We also have, speaking of the dead, we do have some dead to take care of.
I'm dead.
I worry about wearing armor that I don't know 100% the effects and uses of,
if it were cursed or something like that.
Of course.
I don't dabble with, sorry?
That's clever.
I don't dabble with magic I don't understand.
That being said, necromancy is magic.
I feel like I thoroughly understand,
and I'm happy to crush some undead skulls if we want.
Yes.
So it's just through that room there, up top,
and then 11 undead I counted.
So I explained to Chantal, just catch her up on everything,
to be like, ah, yes, this is, Kobo's out there,
there's a door there, it got sealed.
A lot of dead dwarves, I believe, are in there.
Strange that the dead dwarves in there didn't come through this way
to try and go up there.
You know what, it's all very baffling to me.
Oh, they're dead. Give them a break.
They might not know about this other hole,
but it could only be a matter of time before they find it.
Yes, true.
Does Chantal know anything about the weird not-elephant we just found?
Well, you can ask.
We just found a not-elephant.
I've never heard of such a creature.
Yes.
I couldn't tell you.
Some kind of defense from the dwarves.
Possibly, yes.
You just need to leave its hat on.
Sure.
So, are we slaying
some dead? I believe yes. We're getting rid
of the undead there, clearing that out.
And then there's upstairs we could
try and use the elevators out
or we can explore further on.
I found the good ones. We should be fine.
Opinions on that when we get to it.
Yes.
Maybe it would be worth
investigating, sending someone up
and then investigating
the kobolds to see what they're doing.
That's obviously a very good idea.
Before we potentially plunge
ourselves any further into
a dangerous situation.
Alright, well let's get there.
I suggest
probably love.
You're very quick.
You'd probably be very quick. Life.
You'd probably be very good at that.
Oh, sure.
Send it to Baxi.
Yes.
Tree Stump is standing there like, oh, that's what they suggested.
And everyone said, no, don't check.
We'll wait till Chantel gets there.
And Chantel's like, oh, God, we should check.
Tree Stump's mouth is open and they look cut I also
accept that they're probably
just going to get ignored
aww little big tea
yes
that's what I said
well I wanted to
I didn't want to like separate out
I had the same good idea
same good idea alright so, you did. The same good idea.
So you return back to that elevator.
Just another example of Tree Stump being like
God, every decision I've made has
been perfect. All I've
gotten is positive reinforcement.
Will positive reinforcement be the death
of us all? Find out next time on
