Starting point is 00:01:42 Bahumya. Bahumya. Bahumya. Bahumya. I'm your dungeon master, Brian Murphy, joined by Jake Herwitz. Hard one, Shorefoot. Emily Axford. Moon Shine Sabin. Mother of monsters and designated druid.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Ooh, there we go. Oh god, dammit. We went a whole episode. I know. I thought of it because we literally played it last night, and I thought of it this morning. I'm like, what the fuck are I going to say that. Yeah, that's absolutely like a regretful shower thought I know and of course called well Tanner Beverly Toggle the fifth casino boy out
Starting point is 00:02:17 Very good. I like it luck be a Beverly tonight. I'm going to rename the episode What about oceans 11 ZZs, right? Because you're a little half length. That's also very good. Man, you got a productive shower. Ha, ha, ha. Sweet guys, let's do a little recap. So last week, you guys followed the River Sticks
Starting point is 00:02:36 down to the next layer of hell and entered lust. The landscape changed from a fiery war zone to tranquil rolling hills, but it was only the illusion of safety. Hard one found himself charmed by a devil who tricked him into knocking moonshine into the river sticks before jumping in himself. As a result, they were cursed, and both of their intelligences were lowered to one, Bevin Boundor were then approached by the Arch Devil Fierna, ruler of lust, she explained that undamned souls, such as yourselves, were extremely valuable, explaining that you were like gold coins in a vault of copper.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Fierna demonstrated the analogy, literally, breaking your mortal soul coins into 100 smaller ones. After Beverly nearly lost all of his to Fierna, he and Balnor were able to convince her to take 75 from each of you. After Munchan and Hardwon were healed, you divvyed up the remaining coins with Balnor, Bev, and Hardwon retaining only half
Starting point is 00:03:35 of their humanity. You continued down the river sticks. There, you found a casino that offered passage to the next layer. Provided you had enough soul coins. You dominated the various games of chance, eventually winning. The sword dominated.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Right. The flying sword was really the MVP. We're all just witnesses to their greatness. Although with a war. Is this gonna be called, is this episode, is that episode gonna be called The Sword Dancer? Yeah, yeah, sure. I, I, I, I honestly think the highlight of the gambling was
Starting point is 00:04:09 Beverly offering to let a dude throw a knife at him. That would have turned some heads in a casino. Yeah. I mean, it's like going to a carnival game where somebody throws darts and says, I bet you can't hit me instead. And it just works out. Oh man, I earned $5 an hour. Don't make me do this. So you guys were able to win a large number of coins enough to restore all of your souls to full as well as to have enough
Starting point is 00:04:41 extra access. The next layer of hell, you offered your extra soul coins to the bouncer at the elevator who revealed herself to be the archdevil fierna. In the end, she was able to get you to hand over four untainted mortals worth of soul coins. It just wasn't the way you thought it would be. And with that, you began descending to the next layer of hell. And that's where we are now. So I guess we're kinda one for one as far as the hell stakes go.
Starting point is 00:05:10 You know, I gotta be honest, I think all of us felt in that first level, like it was kinda rad. I think everyone I met in that honey trap, Casino, I'd let them sink. For sure. We can close hell at level two. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Can't we do that? I mean, we can't hear. Should we just cut this elevator? Do people go up through here? Sort of way. Right, yeah, we're still on it. You're not a devil anymore. Sorry, I got used to it.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I got used to being a bad boy. You got a little bad boy streak. I can see it. Yeah. So, Bev, according to your book, this next layer is reserved for those who have committed this sin of gluttony. The beings here are cursed with an endless hunger
Starting point is 00:05:57 that can never be sated. Monsters here are on a never-ending feeding spree. It is said that the ground itself is cursed, and we'll consume those who walk upon it. Okay, so everybody put on these booties I've got for you. These are usually reserved for when you're painting a house. You just slide these over your shoes.
Starting point is 00:06:18 They should protect us. If we wore some Tupperware on our feet, they can get tupperware would work great too. We, Papa already has a little tupperware. He was already wearing a tupperware hat. Do you guys have these in my size? What do you like us? What?
Starting point is 00:06:33 Seven and a half? Twenty, I'm a twenty-two. It's going to be as I have. I don't know, man. You seem bound or so to hold on this feet up next to yours. They're not that much bigger than mine. The booties are elastic. If you just want to wear the booties.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I guess I can wear what on my big toe? Yeah, you know, I actually got a caboodle. I got two caboodles. Hard to remember. You asking for a magnum bootie? I'd like a magnum bootie. I got a king caboodle, for you. What is a caboodle?
Starting point is 00:06:59 A budle is like when you're young and your mom gives you like a little, it's like a little um it's not little though It's kind of big You can keep toys and yeah, it's like what your leg goes in it almost looks like a bait box. I am okay I know what you're talking about too. Yeah, it's for you like that. They have that in the size 22 Yeah, they're kind of bigger bigger than Tupperware Beverly definitely had a caboodle as a kid No question. So definitely had a caboodle as a kid. No question.
Starting point is 00:07:25 So you had your beads. I was a little bit nervous. For your jewelry making badge. Absolutely. Upper layer is for my decorative floss. As you guys talk about caboodles and decorative floss, you descend to the next layer of hell. Oh god.
Starting point is 00:07:43 You descend down this elevator shaft. It all feels very manual. You hear the clanking of chains. The shaft is cramped, but there is a bit of light. There is a glowing red sphere attached to the elevator, giving everything around you a crimson hue. I want to cast like detect magic. Be like, is this all in illusion?
Starting point is 00:08:05 Is this like the illusion of some sort of like metallic elevator shaft that's like or is it just actually that? You cast a tech magic. There is magic around you the sphere giving off light is magical. This does not appear to be an illusion So you guys are going down the shaft, and eventually it opens up into an extremely large cave. You guys have now been writing down for a while. Besides the red sphere, there is no other light, just dark abyss below you,
Starting point is 00:08:38 and dark walls to the sides with stones that almost look like scales. As you guys descend, go ahead and give me perception checks. 13. 13 for me as well. I hop-hop got a 12. I don't know what he adds to perception. 17.
Starting point is 00:08:56 We can say Moonshan that he just gives you advantage. So if he rolled a 12. Okay, so I got 21. Oh my goodness. Pop-hop sniffs the air and he starts to look concerned. Me. What's wrong, boy? Me. He scampers over to the side. Where to tight? Me. He starts moving in the top of where. Then he looks relieved for a second. And then once again, he sniffs the air and looks concerned. Yeah. You hear the clanking of Tupperware against the elevator as he looks over the edge and starts
Starting point is 00:09:30 looking a little panicked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Munchan you look over the edge and you see about 200 feet below you a rising tide of bile, bubbling acid, that sizzles and pops. You see debris from the cave wall hits it and it starts popping. You see emerging from this acid below. Are these sickly, skeletally thin nude creatures with blood stained teeth
Starting point is 00:10:05 and matted main G hair who begins skittering up the walls and as I pop off Sniffs the Air, he starts like gesturing to the walls and you notice that they are moving slightly like contracting. Oh, we're in throat. Everyone go ahead and roll initiative. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:10:25 23. 14. Seven. Okay right. 23, 14, seven. Okay, hard one, you are first. You see about 200 feet below you is this acid that is rising. You see the cave walls are about 30 feet from you in this elevator shaft. You're in this elevator shaft in the middle of this thing's body, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:10:44 It's about 30 feet to get to the monster's skin and you see so far two of these skittering nude monsters coming out of the acid and it looks like it's rising. That is your turn. I'm going to bravely hold a reaction. Okay, so you hold your turn. That is... But I do it bravely. You do it extremely bravely. That is the first hold your turn. That is... But I do it bravely.
Starting point is 00:11:05 You do it extremely bravely. That is the first two monsters turn. They are going to start skittering up the wall. They get up 60 feet. Oh, they fast. They are now 140 feet away. Yes, just unnatural like exorcist style climbing up the wall. We're so hungry.
Starting point is 00:11:27 There's those little bites on the side of a little bite. Is there like a door that leads somewhere else because we're in this enclosed area? No, that is Bev's turn. Cool. First and foremost, I tossed down some ritz bits for them. They furiously gobble up the ritz bits and you see they've got like skin hanging off of them and everything. You see it just falls down from the rib cage. More, more, more. You want full size Ritz? I just want Ritz. Okay, I tossed down full size Ritz. Start chomping down the Ritz more.
Starting point is 00:11:59 More Ritz. I'll take a Ritz too. I'm feeling a bit tankish. No, no, I don't want to see me do it. I don't want to see me do it. Here, put a ritz, too. I'm feeling a bit tankish. No, no, I don't want to see me. Don't be tempted. I don't want to see me do it. I'll smell it. Here, put a cloth over your head. I take out a wimple. Ha, ha, ha. I'm going to go ahead and cast Aura of purity on everyone. Let me read this description.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Until the spell ends, the Aura moves with you, centered on you. Each non-hostile creature in the R, including you, can't become diseased, has resistance to poison and has advantage on saving throws against effects that cause any of the following. Blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, and stunned.
Starting point is 00:12:35 You see this anti-bile, I guess maybe like a nice lotion. For the guy. I want to eat the fucking lotion. Give me your lotion, Tom's, right? Oh yeah, oh holy shit, yes. Oh, a bubble of Pepto Bismol. Or of antacid. Yeah, it inflops us all.
Starting point is 00:12:54 And that will be my turn. Sweet, moonshine, that's your turn. I need to try to find an exit from this situation, even if it's through the water. Go ahead and moonshine, give me an insight check. 16. even if it's through the water. Go ahead and move on, give me an insight check. Okay. 16. 16. This elevator traveled for a while.
Starting point is 00:13:12 You can deduce that you are probably in the next layer of hell, the way out would be to get through this monster. So we need to get shit out? Or we could make a new bug. We have to cut out the sides. Yep. Oh, operation second butthole. Fuck it. I guess if I think that what we need to do is just pierce our way out of the skin, then I
Starting point is 00:13:38 think I'm going to just jump to a wall attack and then misty step back to the platform. Sweet, you can absolutely do that. Okay. Yeah, you can, I'll say yeah, because you can, even if you can't do a full long jump to make it 30 feet horizontally, you can certainly, if you're down to fall, you can angle yourself that way. So you fall, bring your sword out, go ahead and make an attack. Okay, we'll use pop-off or some help.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Riii! You jump off with you, top of where, top of where falls into first from help. Riiiih! He jumps off with you, tap where, tap where falls into the acid below. Riiiih! Riiih! It's probably better. You're not gonna get a lot of traction with those. This is a 24 hit. 24 does hit.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I guess this is exploratory. We'll just see what happens. See how big of a gash we can make. 20. 20 damage. And then I'm also gonna, I'm not in fungal form, but I will also spores it for nine
Starting point is 00:14:26 to see what it, I mean poison, no one is doing just the way. It takes, it takes the damage, it starts eating away. Yes! Finally, my poison works in hell. Okay, so Munchan, I'll say when you jumped down, there was a bit of an arc to it, so I'll say that you probably fell about 25 feet as you jumped. You see that particular area is now damaged, but if you were to attack a different part,
Starting point is 00:14:53 it wouldn't be as concentrated. So you missed the step back. But you guys see, moonshine has begun cutting through. I'm gonna use my held reaction then, and jump onto the same area, and attack it with my axe. Sweet. Are you're hammer?
Starting point is 00:15:08 Oh yeah, my hammer. Okay, yeah, yeah, you can just do bludgeoning damage to it, smash into it. Cool. I crit. Oh, wait a second. No, I didn't. Don't worry, I rolled a 19.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Okay, I crit a 19 or your cursed from that drink before. It's all, remember who is cursed. So Papa is cursed, Munchan is cursed your cursed from that drink before. That's all remember who is cursed So Papa's cursed moon Chinese cursed and hard one is cursed. Oh my god That would have been really fucking. Yeah beef real hard in the throat Murphy forgot to mention that Bev is blessed last found or spless Five check Bev is blessed 31 damage nice. Okay, that's on the first attack. Oh 25 to hit on the second. Super hits. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Yeah, you guys see hard one jumps out, devil may care, stops himself on the side, probably you pull out your hand axe and like slow yourself down as you get there. I'm like, I was climbing on this thing. Yeah, the pull out the hammer and start whaling on the damaged area. You feel this beast shake and all of this debris starts falling down from the elevator.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Start shaking in the middle of the room. Dude, you look just like the guy from vertical limit right now. I accept a little thicker, right? I don't know. 20 damage. Just under on the second attack. Nice. 18 to hit.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Does hit. 17 damage on the last. Nice. If to hit, does hit. Heart one. 17 damage on the last. Nice. If there was ever a time to break down the wall, now is that time. Hope this guy didn't build them too thick. What are we doing when we build a wall?
Starting point is 00:16:33 That's right, we create an asshole in it. Hard one, I'm gonna say. And asshole for all these people, you truly love to pass through. Go ahead and do an athletics check to vertical limit. Ooh, so that you can hang on. Otherwise, you're gonna fall. Impathetic asshole.
Starting point is 00:16:49 15. 15, okay, you're able to hang on. You're able to stay on, I'll say there's enough of an indent in this thing, skin now that you're like just hanging on. Oh, sick. I guess Boundor, actually, you know what? Boundor will do the same thing. He'll just start throwing javelins down at it.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Balnor hits on both, two natural 17. He goes, and just balnor. It's so close to my head, man. Yeah, watch out, just duck out of the way a little bit there. Balnor does a total of 12 damage to this thing, but this thing is thick. Way to build the wall. Then on initiative one, this acid is going to rise 1D100, let's see how high it gets.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Steer. Ooh, 20 feet. So it is still 180 feet away. That is back up to hard one. Okay, I'm gonna keep on swinging my hammer at the gash. Black the gash. Black the gash. 25 to hit, super hits.
Starting point is 00:17:53 It's just what we're good at. 20 damage. Nice. Shout out to the two crew on my second attack. This is, yeah, you're smashing into it, and you hit like a thick scale. It's like digging into the earth and you just hit a rock. This one feels like an ingrown hair.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Then a 20 to hit, not net. Don't take it away from me. That hits. Oh, there's actually a clot. 17 damage. Nice. You are messing this thing up. You are making a lot of headway, hard one.

You guys see Moonshine jumps, tries to stick Rosaline into the side of the monster, misses, hits a scale, bounces off, and falls back into the rising acid.
Starting point is 00:24:10 That was only my movement though. I still can do an action, right? Yep, but first you're going to take some acid damage as you fall. You take 21 damage as soon as you touch this bile. Jesus, Munchine Is that poison damage no acid cool cool, so Munchine you are now down 180 feet.

All right. I guess I do investiture of wind I now have a flying speed of 60 feet great Fuck your fun. Yeah, You're not fucked at all. I guess I could have wild, but I can't cast spells from wild shape, right?
Starting point is 00:25:09 I can from semiotic entity, but I can't. Right. Right. All right, then. So ranged weapon attacks have a disadvantage on the attack roll, whatever. I'm just doing it to the fly. You're able to fly. So you fly 60 feet up.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Okay. Someone's trying to you are at 120 feet. Whoa. Didn't know you could do that. Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, I've done it before. Okay. So Munchine, you are at 120 feet. Whoa, didn't know you could do that. Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, I've done it before. Cool. Let me see it again. But at least I got rid of my fucking curse. That's true.
Starting point is 00:25:33 There you go. Have it happen on. I was really hoping it would be like, I don't know, like a diplomacy check or a charisma check. Like I always say, when in doubt, just fly, I guess. That is, Ballon or Stern, Ballon or Stern, I'm going to throw some javelins. Ballon or Mrs. on the first doubt, just fly I guess. That is, Balanore's turn, Balanore's gonna throw some javelins, Balanore misses on the first one, almost hit hard one, Nick's is but, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I know it's a big target. Misses on the second one. Sorry, man. He's a real bad dad now. That is the end of the round, so the acid is going to rise. Oof, it goes up 90 feet. Which means it catches up to Moon Shine. Moon Shine you take 24 acid damage. Hard one that is your turn.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Okay, I think I just have to keep on mulling the wall. Sweet. I'm just gonna try to get through. All the wall. Mull that wall. 18 hits. 18 hits. 13 damage. 13 damage 13 damage get further through does a 16 hit does not I'm gonna use a luck point, okay? Yeah

I'm gonna use my final luck there. Okay try one more time. Let's go. Fuck me. That's only three. I'm gonna use... Alright, I'm gonna use my final lock point. Okay. I rolled a net one. Yikes. Does that one become a 20? You are not blessed, sir. No, I'm cursed. Okay, it would seem. That is the monsters turns at the beginning of the turn,
Starting point is 00:27:05 another four of these monsters emerge from the acid. There are so many now, six of them are gonna take cracks and moonshine in the acid. Hard one, I have a spell that will save us. You just need to fucking make an anus in this fucking dude's stop, I guess. You also, you guys see? No, I don't have save us. You just need to fucking make an anus in this fucking dude. It's a suffocates. You also, you guys see, no, I don't have one anymore.
Starting point is 00:27:28 You guys see, it was a six level spell. The acid is going to reach the hole at some point, and you guys are gonna have to either just eat acid damage or start a new one at a certain point. If you guys don't damage this, I actually don't have a spell to save us. Okay, so I shouldn't make an anus. Well, you should make an anus,
Starting point is 00:27:43 but I don't have one to get us safe passage. So there are a total of 12 attacks and there are five hits. 72 damage to no. I'm down. Moonshine goes unconscious in the acid. Oh, she begins to sink and sizzle. And then the two that are up on the wall with Bev are gonna go after Bev. Who knew that fucking potion would kill me? There are two hits on Bev. You shouldn't have cooked that dice so good. For a total of 36 damage. Okay, that is your turn, Bev.
Starting point is 00:28:21 I'm going to jump down to moonshine and I guess try and land on her body so that I don't get acid on myself. You don't think you can kind of have to, unless you use a spell, you have to take damage. I'll say if you wanna touch her in Misty Step, I will allow that if you wanna do that, but you're gonna need to use a spell.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Yeah, I wanna touch her in Misty Step. Okay, sweet. You jump down as soon as you touch her, you lay hands and you misty step great Yeah, how much I'll give you you know what I'll give you a full 60 Yeah, baby sweet great moonshine pops back up to 60 and Bev you get 30 feet back up great. Okay. That is moonshine's turn Okay, um, would you say there's water and bile? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:05 I would like to cast control, water, and do redirect flow. Oh, shit, that's awesome. Okay. So I think I actually what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna like, I think I'm gonna point like diagonally upwards in the direction away from, away from where the whole that we're working on is. Okay, yeah, so you want the acid all like,
Starting point is 00:29:25 swish up to the side. Yeah, yeah. Sweet clashes up on the side of this giant beast and begins rising up the wall. Okay. What do you do? You start falling. I'll just shove my Rosalene in the wall
Starting point is 00:29:39 and try to catch myself. Okay, go ahead and give me athletics check. 25. 25. Yeah, moonshine you an athletics check. 25. 25. Yeah, moonshine, you successfully. Oh, 27. Yeah, you successfully stab into the wall, acid all moves to the one side.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Yeah, I'm gonna say that the monsters that are like deep below aren't gonna rise anymore, but the ones that are still there are still gonna attack on their turn. That is Balnor's turn. At this point, Balnor is going to jump down to try to help. Balnor gets a successful athletics check, gets up near the gash, starts taking sword attacks.
Starting point is 00:30:13 That is two hits. There you go, Balnor. Yeah, try and medesit. Better than throwing javelins at me. That is 19 damage from Balnor. You guys are getting pretty deep in there. That is back around to the acid. Gross.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Yeah, gross. Acid is up on the side now. That is hard one's turn. OK. I'm going to do that for 300 feet, and then it would probably then step to fall back down. Yeah, for the rest of the encounter, essentially, it's on the side. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Malthowall. 18 hit. 18 hits. 20 damage. You break through all these tendons you are very deep in there now Fuck yeah, you go net one secure the fissure 26 to hit that hits 17 damage hard one you burst through yes, you create a hole the outside, there is all of this hail. There's this terrible storm out there. We might want to stay in the throats.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Hard one, do you want to use your movement or anything? What do you want to do? Can I poke my head out? Yeah. All right, cool. I want to stick my head out of the anus. You stick your head out. You see that, yeah, this new anus, you see that you guys are inside this gargantuan worm in the middle of this huge storm. And the ground is so far below you, you can't see it at this moment,
Starting point is 00:31:39 but there is a lot of fog and wind. Does it look like the purple worm from before? No, wave figure. That's tight. That is the monster's turns. I'm gonna say that with all the acid moving around and everything, they're all gonna do deck saves to see if they can like kind of stay on target and jump towards you guys. They'll do the athletics checks to jump onto the wall. Yeah, slash yes, just try. So you guys see only four of them make it a bunch of them fall into the depths below but Bastion stabs into the wall next to you guys. Let me have a little another pizza
Starting point is 00:32:22 Bastion misses you twice Bev Next guy is gonna go after you hits once for 18 damage Next to go after you moonshine and there are two hits in there That is a total of 36 damage that is Bev's turn cool then I'm going to I'll misty step one more time sweet To get up to the hole you're up there And then I will go ahead and toss down a rope sweet Oh, that's nice. Yep, and I'll go ahead and just like slam a javelin into the side to secure the rope
Starting point is 00:32:58 Can I go ahead and use an action as well maybe? Yeah, I want to use command on bastion. Okay So you will need to make a wisdom saving throw that is a 10 he fails oh shoot what do I have him do? Dive you got it bus you see he just jumps off into the abyss I want another fucking pizza man. There's a pepperoni at the bottom. There's a pepperoni at the bottom of the worm. Fuckin' say it down the goo. You gotta swim deeper. I don't say it. It's even deeper, deeper, deeper.
Starting point is 00:33:34 I don't say it down there. There's a whole pizza. There's a whole pizza hut down there. This is the weirdest episode of Magic School Bus. It's a weird episode of Magic School Bus. Moonshan, that's your turn. OK, I'm just going to wild shape into, Munchan, that's your turn. Okay, I'm just gonna wild shape into a hawk. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:48 And just fly. You fly, you're able to get right up to the whole flap, flap, clop. Yes, okay. As the whole flies. Do you wanna fly out or anything or where do you wanna go? Yeah, I wanna fly out, get a view of what's going on. Sweet,
Starting point is 00:34:03 Munchan, as you fly out into this storm, go ahead and give me a dexterity saving throw. And I'm gonna say we're gonna have to use Hawk stats for that. So me plus three to dex. Okay, go ahead and make a dex save. Not 20 bits. Oh, hey!
Starting point is 00:34:20 That doesn't get cursed. And it doesn't get cursed. Yeah, it's uncursed, 20. You stay flying. So I'm looking for ground. Do I see ground anywhere? What's the terrain like? You do not see any ground.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Are you gonna fly down? Like there's all this mist and everything in fog. It's this horrible hail storm. Um. I'm gonna say you don't really have any movement left. So you just get out into the open air. And I don't fall. That is Balnor's turn.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Balnor is gonna look out through the hole and kind of hold this turn, see what everybody else is doing. End of the round. That is the acid. Acid is up on the side. It's not gonna do anything. That is hard once turn. Can I crawl through the hole? Yeah. I'm gonna crawl through the hole and cliffhanger style hang one hand out on the other side. Cool. See what's Gucci.
Starting point is 00:35:04 As you hang out, go ahead and out on the other side. Cool. See what's Gucci. As you hang out, go ahead and give me a deck save. I cannot believe how many net ones I've rolled this episode. Wow, we, it turns into a five. Hard one, as you climb out of this thing, you feel it, rye, and it violently thrashes and you are flung off. Hope up into the storm. There you go.
Starting point is 00:35:34 That is the monster's turn. They are just going to use their turn to skitter up, Bev, you see them following you up by the whole, Bev, that's your turn. Okay, so I am at the base of the whole. I'm at the whole. Yeah, I'm at the whole. I'm the last one through, I think, right?
Starting point is 00:35:50 Boundoers with me? Boundoers with you, he'll follow you. Okay, so Boundoer and I definitely go through the whole. We just, did we see a hard one? Did I see a hard one fall? You saw a hard one get blown off into, he's gone. Okay. I'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I love you, but I don't believe you oh you know what I'm gonna do how big is the hole three you have to like crawl through it you probably you guys probably don't have to crawl through it's like three and a half feet high I'd say three and a half feet Balnor yeah as soon as we get through the hole block it with the bag what so the monster? Then we'd have to take the bag it's a boy. I just while we're trying to figure out our next move I'm saying like plug the hole up so that the monsters can't get through. All right. The paint the monster. You see no yeah just do it. Put the bag's
Starting point is 00:36:36 mouth over the hole so the monsters just fall in. They'll rob the bag. The diapers. We offload all our crew so far. Boundlord tries to climb out and he's gonna do a deck save as he tries to prep the bag. That was a natural three for Boundlord. Okay, he Boundlord blows off into the storm. All right, so Boundlord's got it. Boundlord's got it.
Starting point is 00:37:02 He shouldn't have opened the bag. He was like a kite. You see why? Yeah, he's just like, like I just like a cartoon character with a balloon flying up there. He was parasailing by accident. He got a parachute. He was like, it was a parachute.
Starting point is 00:37:14 But you do see one majestic hawk just gliding through the storm. Okay. And we find, do I see them? Can I just climb out of the hole and like just try and get eyes on where they went? Yeah, go ahead and poke your head out. Go ahead and perception check with disadvantage. Okay. Unless you want to, if you want to poke your head out real far, you can do a regular one
Starting point is 00:37:30 but you're going to need to do a deck save. I'll do it. This is like Nightmare Storm, like worse than anything on the material plane. White Squall. Yeah. But a red star? Yeah, hard one just like jumped out and there was just a tornado there. Yeah, my friends are gone. It's time for some worm riding, Paula Tready's style.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I'm doing a Dex save. Okay. Mm-hmm. My Dex is zero. Oh. But I add plus four, so 13. Bev, you are blown off into the storm. Moonshine, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:38:05 You're the only one who kind of has control of their own fate here. Okay, I would like to do I perceive anyone, uh, anyone falling as a hawk, I have advantage on a perception check. So that would be a regular check because normally you would do them with a disadvantage. You have beautiful, I guess I'm trying to say like do do I see anyone? Go ahead and do them with disadvantage. You have beautiful jay. I guess I'm trying to say do I see anyone? Go ahead and do a perception check. 16.
Starting point is 00:38:28 You do not see hard one. You see Balmornbef blowing off in separate directions. Jesus. Okay, I wanna swoop down, see if I can see anything below. What do I see below? Moonshan, you pierced through a fog. You see rain and hail. So heavy as it hits the ground that this,
Starting point is 00:38:53 this like muddy landscape below looks like a brown ocean. Just like thick mud like molasses. This is some fuckery, but can we say that I cast Featherfall and me in Belnor as we were flying out? It's a reaction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, and I've got the ring. Can I cast this bill? What spell? I want to cast Water Walk. So I guess I'm coming out of I'm coming out of a of Wild Shape to cast Water Walk on me and Bev and anyone else who's within 30 feet of us. Okay, it's just you two guys. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:28 So you guys, Moonshine, you fly over to Bev at the last second, turn back into Moonshine, cast Water Walk, Bev, you and Moonshine land on this ground here, and you feel it like quick sand start to pull you down but not like a quick sand is one of the things that you can walk. This spell grants the ability to move across any liquid surface such as water acid mud snow quick sand or lava. It does not pull you all the way down. You just feel your feet sink and you feel that there is a strange viscosity to the ground here. Meanwhile, hard one, you are falling at the mercy of the wind.
Starting point is 00:40:09 You fall through the air, luckily you have the ring of feather fall. You see, lucky you. Lucky you. You see the ground coming up at you. You see that there is movement to it, just because there's so much water hitting it and it's such thick mud,
Starting point is 00:40:24 and when you crash into it, it feels like you're hitting water but you immediately are engulfed in some kind of thick gunk and you begin sinking and then everything goes black. Oh dear. Can I yell really loud today here where I'm coming from? You start to yell and your mouth starts to get filled with whatever this shit is. Whoa. Munchine and Bev, you guys are in this strange layer of hell. Like Bev's book says, the ground literally wants to eat you. And you see this giant worm thrashing,
Starting point is 00:41:01 no sign of hard one or balnor. Balnor, hard one. balnor Balnor hard one I Ignite my sword and kind of wave it around just to try and get something going you do it For a beat you don't get any response Oh shoot well, I guess we just start walking right we got to try and find him or do we just let this shit eat us Yeah, I want to like drop something that isn't me, that isn't enchanted with a spell into it and see what happens.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Yeah, let's drop a rope in. Yeah, let's put a sweet, put a stone on a rope. You drop a rope in and you see that the thick mud beneath you begins consuming it. Okay, I would like to locate object on the queen's hammer. What's the range? 1, 1000 feet. Hard one is sinking to a lower layer of hell. Maybe we just have to sink. We just drop. Did I waste all these fucking cells because we're supposed to fucking sink?
Starting point is 00:41:57 Sometimes you know sometimes you got to break a few eggs to make a enchanted chicken. All right I guess let's do it. Yep. Yeah, I guess you drop the spell and we sink. I drop the spell and we sink. OK, probably feels pretty good. I take my shoes off. That view, you touch it, and it is kind of like a mud bath. It's like playing in some wet sand.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Silti. Yeah, you really get dip your tozes in there. I do pull out two cucumbers from my health conscious luncheable, and I put them over my eyes. Ooh, can I take some? Absolutely, yeah. It's a Xervon break. It's cucumbers, carrots, and some beet hummus.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Ooh, yeah, it's bright bread. Okay, it's boiled me. So for you guys, everything goes black because you have cucumbers on your eyes. But hard one, yeah you feel whatever this material is consumes you. And as you guys all sink, you hear a voice in your heads, go, you're the ones who killed my son, my beautiful boy. Glad's mom. I know, no, I hate glad. Oh, okay. I'm ill-said context clues everyone.
Starting point is 00:43:24 I play along. Nice to meet you miss Rosal I'm not again. I'm not Mrs. Rosal I killed your boy and I do it again. No glad Rosal I'm talking about acorot By the way, how long to take you guys to get eaten by the mud? I did it right away I guess some of us all the puzzle right everyone to everyone for the others. I burned two spells. Everyone's abusing the chat. All right, look.
Starting point is 00:43:50 I'm sorry, Miss Roselle. My name is Ylseant. It was Miss Roselle. I think it's the most correct. Oh, that's a context clear right there. Whoa. Perhaps you'll recognize me by my other title, Corruptor of Beverly Togled IV,
Starting point is 00:44:04 Killer of Maribel the Terrible. Yeah, how's that? Alright, you really changed the tone in this chat. That's right. You know what? I honestly don't feel cheeky anymore, so I'm going to drop it. Yeah. Nobody feels cheeky. Where are you?
Starting point is 00:44:19 Why are you going to be hiding from us? Deep, deep, and now listen. Another thing you killed is the mood. Alright. Again, everyone, you killed is the mood. All right. Again, everyone, stop abusing the chat. Hey, man, if you can't take the reactions, get up, chat. Hard one sends a gift. What a really funny one.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Let's see, Michael Scott from the... Who Jack goes back and forth between the exclamation marks and the thumbs up. OK, I want it to be able to talk to you all at once, but I will do private chats with everyone if this is how we're going to behave. DM me, I'm not afraid. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Look. This isn't your fight, okay? You're doing the Hollisterty work. You think you're working towards your own goals, but what's in it for you really? I can send you back, send you back to the material plane. You feel the ground begin to pull you back up. I don't say that is so interesting, because the fact that you would even bargain with us makes me think
Starting point is 00:45:27 you're a pretty easy kill. Yeah man, you gotta be shook if you're trying to get us out of here. Oh, this is really a peousing the chat. If you're asking what's in it for us, and you don't know us at all, we just do this for the pleasure of making things a little better. And we don't mind us at all. We just do this for the pleasure of making things a little better. And we don't mind getting dirty. Yeah, not to alert you, but we made the first level hell pretty cute and fun. It's basically a theme park.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Yes, I will admit to you made it a little bit more hospitable. Look, I think I think how about this? Why don't you just fucking fight us? Let's just do this. Let's meet on, I don't know, poetry or whatever the next level I like. Poetry. You think I have an entire level of hell dedicated to poetry. I think there might be like a sub-level.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Yeah. Like an addendum. Yes, that's next to lust. That's if you use, you know, poems to try to have sex with people. I guess if your poems were really problematic maybe. Yes, that's right. Reading does suck.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I just, yeah, well, I mean, you just, you're not putting on the bravest face right now. Oh, okay. If there's one thing I know about adventures like you, so that you draw your strength from each other, those first three layers, or nothing, compared to what you're about to experience, I will bring new meaning to the phrase your own personal hell. And chat. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Did you guys stop to look? Could you hack it, you know? This is what you get. As you guys felt him offering to let you to kind of bring you guys back to the material plane
Starting point is 00:47:30 and you guys refused, you guys suddenly feel yourself getting sucked down, like very quickly. And each of you is pulled through this thick liquid and each of you is spit out of a portal of thick, purple, black substance. This episode of NADPOT has brought to you by Bird Dogs. They're a company that makes pants and shorts, so no matter where you fall and the age old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's gonna be difficult. Luckily, Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier. Bird Dog stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give you a truly sculpted look. And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, Bird Dogs invented a cloud knit fabric that looks just like khaki but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement.
Starting point is 00:48:26 And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals. So when the lower body battle begins and brother is forced to kick brother, make sure you are wearing bird dogs.

Okay, that's it for me, go team pants and enjoy the show.
Starting point is 00:49:09 So we're gonna start with our friend Hard One Shorefoot. What could you possibly say that would bother me? Hard one, you are spit out of this portal. You land in a giant cavern full of gold and riches. Treasure chests full of expensive ornamental weapons, jewelry, gems, the entire floor is covered in gold pieces. You feel your feet sink into the gold, you cannot feel the floor below you, just more and more coins you couldn't possibly reach the bottom. You would think you were in heaven if not for the rest of your surroundings. Above you is the ceiling of a hellish cave
Starting point is 00:49:51 with long jagged stalactites hanging, all around you thousands of people, hands bloody and broken from just clawing at the metal of these coins in an endless cycle. They're all looking for something that they can't find. You hear different shouts like, where's my ring? Where's the crown? That is my crown.
Starting point is 00:50:14 It belongs to me and belongs to my family. But one voice. Boomes above them all. You hear the broadsbeard King's hammer. It's here. I know it is. After all these years, we thought it lost, but this is my destiny.
Starting point is 00:50:33 It is my destiny to find it here. Hard one, you see that Wilhelm Bronzebeard has taken the form of a hellish flame dragon. He has become on the outside what he always was on the inside a covetous monster. He furiously shovels through the gold, making no progress. And you kind of, there are so many people here,
Starting point is 00:51:03 he does not immediately see that you have arrived. And everybody is in the zone right now, trying to find whatever it is that was missing from their life that they sold their souls for. And hard one, you see, a coldain comes out of your Queen's hammer. Hey man. And he goes, he's not the wrong.
Starting point is 00:51:30 The Bronzebeard King's hammer is here. I can sense it. I don't know if Wilhelm can actually sense it or not, but it is here. It is driven in mad, but he's looking in the wrong place. Do you sense it here? I shut my eyes and try to sense it. Go ahead and give me a religion check. You're gonna get while holding the Queen's hammer.
Starting point is 00:51:55 You have proficiency in religion, and you can use cold veins, wisdoms. You have, it'll be a plus 10 religion check. Okay. And that'll be a plus 10 religion check. Okay. And that'll be a 23. You look up. Everybody's focused on this giant horde of treasure below. You look to a large stalactite hanging
Starting point is 00:52:19 about 60 feet above the floor of the cave and you just sense power coming from inside it. And Coldain goes, rich men, always digging into pockets, trying to find the answer, but doors. Doors know it's in the rocks. I'm in hard one. As you feel yourself called to the bronze beard beard King's hammer, you have a flashback. Hard one, you are six years old. You are at the dwarf in itch. It is not been easy. You have been
Starting point is 00:52:58 teased for your height, for your lack of ability to grow facial hair by age six. It's kind of a shame. So you should be able to have a mustache. You haven't been able to pack on as much mass as some of these other dwarves. God, those are trying. But today is a special day. King Grimthor McGannis is visiting the Dwarf and Edge
Starting point is 00:53:23 and everyone is on their best behavior, including the adult attendance who often look the other way when you're being picked on. You see McGannis is surrounded by his King's Guard and he's addressing all the kids and he's in the middle of the speech and he goes, you might call this a dwarf in itch, but there are no true dwarvens in iron deep. We are all part of the same family. We are all dwarves. And some of the kids next to you start laughing. And one of them yells out, I guess that means hard one still doesn't have a family, huh?
Starting point is 00:54:08 Ha ha ha. You see a bunch of the kids laugh, and you even see a few of the like guards sneaker. But then King McGannis kind of looks thoughtful. And he looks out into the crowd out at you, hard one, and he goes, you boy. Hard one, is it? Yes, sir. You live here in the Dwarf and Edge.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yes, sir. How would you like to hold the King's Hammer boy? Okay. You see, there is a hush across the room as Kim Gannis walks over to you and pulls his king's hammer from his side. You never imagined that this moment could happen. This is the most legendary weapon of the dwarves and all of your life. These other kids said that you couldn't have it. They wouldn't even let you play with it when they would make like play
Starting point is 00:55:08 ones. Any hands you this one hammer just this intricate design beautiful yet powerful. It's radiating holy energy and he goes go, you can hold it. Okay. You take it in your hand and it feels heavy for a moment and hard when you are very self conscious, especially as a little six year old, so you really try to put on a brave face. And it's heavy for a second, but then you feel the holy energy flow through you
Starting point is 00:55:40 and it feels right and it feels light in your hands. And McGannis laughs and he tussles your hair and he goes, looks like a dwarf to me. Yes, sir. You see, he takes the hammer back and you see, he's joined by his other guards in various attendance and he leaves. But then you see the other dwarves,
Starting point is 00:56:11 these kids seething with jealousy, and the attendants look the other way as a big one pushes you down, and a bunch of them pounce on you and just startounce on you and just start pounding on you. You can't roll initiative now? Solid memory.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Good times, good times. Moonshine, you arrive in a forest full of rotted trees, dead plants and a thick fog. The smell of death hangs in the air. You haven't seen this level of decay since... Crick-rope. You look around and see deathly poisonous mushrooms pumping spores into the air, creating a dizzying mist, and you see carved
Starting point is 00:57:06 into one of the trees is the phrase, Meribel lives. And you hear a voice go, pretend, pretend, Meribel. On the ground, you see a writhing mic in it. This little mushroom being all rotted and diseased. It looks like he can't stand up. He's like seething. And he goes, no, Maribel is dead. The one who claims to be Maribel is dead.
Starting point is 00:57:53 The one who claims to be Maribel is a pretender. Who are you talking about? Her spores. They came together and formed a new being. They think they are mother-mare abel, but they're pretenders. Did they take your life? They cut me off from their network. I was a part of mother. That was very deeply. I didn't want to hurt the you are welcome into my network, a report spores him. You see his eyes go wide and he starts tearing up and he goes, I thought I was going to die here. No, no, no, we're going to get revenge here and then rise up like a phoenix from the mushrooms. Like a phoenix from the mushroom. Yeah, where's Mother Maribel now? Is Mother Maribel?
Starting point is 00:59:13 They're not. Scott. Are they on the material plane? The pretenders here. You see, lifts a hand up that's like this like rooted kind of like mycelium looking thing like a fungal plant. Yeah. Raps around your hand. I can join your network. I shouldn't trust anything in hell, but I can't turn away a little mushroom with no network.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Join my network. Moonshine, you have a flashback. You are transported back to a few years ago. You've just gotten back from a walk in the living wood. You just had a nice chat with Joe and some chipper monks. You took a little nap by the creek and you're on your way back to your stump to make dinner when you hear Mimaw yelling from inside her stump. Out, Dammit!
Starting point is 01:00:15 Come on! Mimaw? Yeah. Mochang, would you get in here and help me out? Chipper Monk done, bitch. Oh, it's worse than that. Okay, yeah, come on, I'm coming in. Moonshan, you enter.
Starting point is 01:00:28 You see that Mimaw's stump has been torn a sunder. There's food spilled everywhere, bite marks and scratch marks all over her altar to Melora. You see her chasing around a tiny possum as she scrambles around, butting everything. I have cast, dominate beast on this little rodent. I've used every spell, every skill I have.
Starting point is 01:00:52 He is biting at momos nipples. I had to give her a break. And you just see this little possum. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Don't you see the flaw? Your casten spells on him. You can't have a reciprocal relationship if you're gonna cast spells on him I go to him with my hands in the air like I'm not gonna cast things spells. Hey little fella
Starting point is 01:01:12 I was about to go make some gumbo. You got an empty belly heard you got cut off You see this little possum looks at you with this little pink nose. No spells no funny business just gumbo Me I might cast a spell or two on the gumbo, but only to make it more savory Wham You see this little possum crawls up into your bib and instantly falls asleep What a fight and spirit. It tuckered him out.
Starting point is 01:01:48 You see, Mima just shakes her head and laughs and she goes, I swear, Moonshan, there's something about you. Things that don't belong just find a way of belonging when you're around. Me, ma, that's very, very nice. But I think I just made, I think I just make a great gumbo. This is a Papa shits in your a bit. Moonshine, back in hell, you see this monster closes its eyes and begins devolving into a mycelium of fungus that joins
Starting point is 01:02:30 your fungal form. And you feel yourself automatically turn into your fungal form. And it is now a more monstrous one, like a maribel in the flashbacks. Oh, tentacles. Do I have tentacles? Yeah, you have these like pseudo pods that stick out. Ooh, buddy, I hope my, I hope me taking pity on you was the right move. In moonshine, as you take all this in, as this being joins you, you have this moment of bliss,
Starting point is 01:03:06 you feel more powerful, then suddenly you feel a ping of panic, and you turn around, and you see that papa has been consumed by the ground, by this like fungal network below him. Me, me, me, me, me, I dive in. It disappears into the ground as you jump forward to catch him. Now we'll cut over to Beverly. Oh, hoo! You're a monster. Ah!
Starting point is 01:03:37 Ah! Fungus can't eat plot armor, right? Oh, it's the one thing that can. Ah! Beverly. Wow, I'm at the beach. You have been transported to a city of fire. At first, you can't focus at all. You can't get your bearings. It's just chaos of fire and destruction all around you
Starting point is 01:04:05 until you gather yourself and you realize that these are all churches, holy places, dedicated to various good deities, burning in perpetual flame. Oh, we do this. And nearby you see a few of these strange nude gray figures, no face, no sex organs, but they have torn angels wings coming out of their shoulder blades. And they're trying to fly, but they can't.
Starting point is 01:04:38 You just see they keep jumping over and over again, trying to fly, but they can't. And you see one of them runs over and just starts like Grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you it's okay. It's okay Here I get a towel out and I'm gonna wrap it around like a loin cloth. You look cold Go ahead and give me a persuasion check It's going to be a 25. 25, wow. You see this thing starts to calm down and yeah, there's some holy energy as you comfort this being.
Starting point is 01:05:13 What's wrong? Does it have a mouth or a face? It's just blank. It doesn't have a mouth. You see, gestures. It moves with its head and nods towards a burning church of Polar. Now, and inside the windows, silhouetted against the flame is another one of these strange beings, and it is having its wings ripped from its back. Um you see in the window the figure who is performing this atrocity, you see your father staring back at you.
Starting point is 01:05:52 With this expressionless look, a look that you have only seen once before. It's a matter of time. We flash back to Galatoron. This was three years ago. It's a few days after your 13th birthday. In the history of Galatoron, before the boy king became the king, there was a vizier who ruled in the interim, but it was discovered that he had poisoned the old king and plotted
Starting point is 01:06:23 against the royal family. He was ousted by theala and the other legendary heroes and he was sentenced to death and he was also the first person you ever saw die and your father is the one who killed him. You've just turned 13. You have the dubious honor of being the only green teen at this execution. Your father said it was your duty and that you were old enough. You stand with a line of green knights,
Starting point is 01:06:55 the youngest person there with you, the second youngest person is a queen. Who's standing next to you? You're both looking up at this stage. The king is there, the boy King, you know, being a brat, as he always was. The High Priest, Merrick High Hill, is reading the Vizier, his last rites, and your father is standing there with a sword drawn, looking stoic. Your father kind of, you know, that sort of Ned Stark sensibility of like, I'm the captain of the guard if we're going to send in somebody to death, it is my duty to do it.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Sui's asked for you to be here. You see that there is a crowd of onlookers who are rowdy, but the soldiers are solemn and a guayne takes up off of her cigarette and she goes, have you ever seen somebody die, Beverly? No, of course not. I mean, I've heard about people that have died, I've had relatives that died, but I haven't seen them die. But if I'm going to watch anyone die, I'm glad that it's my father upholding his duty, and that's, it's really cool that he wanted me to be here. It's an honor.
Starting point is 01:08:14 You can just admit that it sucks, dude. It's fine. Are you kidding me? This is the law of the land. This is the way that it's got to be, right? You see Shinawadz, she takes a drag of her cigarette. And I mean, a few years ago, you and Aguene had not had any kind of like real conversation.
Starting point is 01:08:43 So this is pretty significant. She's usually like pretty mean to you, but this is a pretty serious situation. And she goes, yeah, I've had to, I've had to come to a few of these. The first one was scary. And then I got Connie used to them. And then my parents died. And then they got scared again.
Starting point is 01:09:08 I'll never get used to this. I promise. She sighs and she goes, but you know, he poisoned the king. And if somebody did that to my parents, to the realm that they fought for, I don't think that's forgivable. At first, when I first saw all this stuff happening,
Starting point is 01:09:43 I thought that they were hypocrites talking about pullers mercy and all that when we would do this, but I realized there are monsters out there, Bev. And sometimes the greatest mercy is to take them away from us. You're so cool. She goes, I know. She puffs her cigarette. You see Merrick Highhill finishes the last rites,
Starting point is 01:10:24 the vizier extends his neck, your father swings the blade, and Aguene puts her hand on your shoulder, and she goes, don't look away. I want to, with all my heart, but I grab her hand back and I watch the blade fall. Shields your hand. You see the visears head is severed from his neck and rolls forward. There was a roar from the crowd, but the soldiers stay quiet. Some of them say quiet prayer, and you see up on the stage your father turns to you. And at first he looks empathetic or even like ashamed,
Starting point is 01:11:07 but he kind of hardens and hides his emotion. Just this sense of duty, this thing that he had to do that he doesn't want to do. And then you're back in hell. And you see this devil looking back at you with the same look. I walk into his line of vision and I do what I did that day. I hold up the green teen salute and I look at him with a mixture of hate and love.
Starting point is 01:11:45 and I look at him with a mixture of hate and love. You see, completely emotionless, he finishes ripping the angels' wings off, throws him to the side, shakes his head, and goes, you shouldn't have come here, Bev. You know he had too, Dad? You shouldn't have come here, Bev. You know I had too, Dad? You know I had to try. Even if things have to in certain way, I have to try to prevent them from reaching
Starting point is 01:12:18 that point. You always have to try. Always. My deal... with the nine hells... said I wouldn't have to hurt you in the Fey Wild. But if you try to get deeper into hell, Bev, I'm gonna have to stop you. Just tell me how to fix this. Just tell me, the further down we go, the more complex it gets.
Starting point is 01:12:50 You see he was, you know, like silhouetted against a window. He punches through the window. It shatters. You see, like as soon as it hits the air, fire started blowing out from behind him. You see he's got like this blackened steel armor and this like crusader's helm. You can still see his eyes. He rips his helm off and he goes,
Starting point is 01:13:14 I'll tell you what to do, Bev, you turn around and you face the allah, the one who took our home from us. Pick a side, Beverly. Yes, sir. He'll just hand out to you. He'll start walking. And as I'm walking, I try to reach out to the spores.
Starting point is 01:13:48 I try to reach out to the ambulance. I try to reach out to anything that isn't this, that isn't this duty, that I've always felt deep down. Who, what would you like to reach out to? Who or what would you like to reach out to? I would like to use the lesson I've learned from Pallor to basically use Pallor as my satellite to bounce into my fungal network of friends. Great, go ahead and make a religion check and we'll see if you'll be able to between this religion check and moonshine's newly formed fungal powers. We'll let you roll with advantage.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Oh boy. 17. Moonshine, you feel Beverly in this moment. It's faint. It's far away. I'll say with a 17, you can't get to hard one or balanore but you have a faint connection to moonshine. I don't want to go. I don't want to go but I have to. It's my duty. I have to do this. Okay, young and I want you know I will love you whatever you choose to do. But here's my two cents. A child has a duty to his father, but a hero has a duty to the world. Now I've got my opinion of which you are, but it's time for you to decide. Where would I be without the wisdom of the Crick? Where would I be without Polar's lie?
Starting point is 01:15:31 Deeper in hell than we already are, that's for sure. That's for sure. I nod to myself. I stop walking. Dad. Dad, all I want is for you to be proud of me and to be happy. That's why throughout this whole journey, all I've done is just basically collect people that I thought were as cool as you. But I can't go any further.
Starting point is 01:16:07 If I join you, then my friend's fate is uncertain, and I have to stand with them because... there they hammer that forges the light of the lore into the sword that I wield. And without them unlost, even more lost than you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, too, Beth. You see, he draws his sword. Same sword, he uses that day. And that's where we'll end our session. No! Good Lord! Good Lord!
Starting point is 01:16:47 You killed me, Murphy! I have to take a bath! I need to go on a long walk, man. Sweet pea! You ruined my night, Brian! Oh, I'm excited for these. I'm excited for these 1v'm excited for these one V1. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Oh my God. My good Lord. It's gonna be quite a short rest. Save it all for the short rest. I have many roses to give. I love those. I love those. We'll talk a little more about this on the short rest.
Starting point is 01:17:16 I love the reaching out to the friends and the thin fungal network. Yeah. If, I mean, I'll say it right now, but you'll hear more on the short rest rest if I had rolled worse on the religion check I don't think I could have I don't think I could have done it. Thank you.
