Welcome back to Tabletop Diaries when we'll be playing Shadow Dark Chris Grill Zine 1 diableri the story so far?

The party finds himself licking their wounds after a devastating retreat from battling a troll.

Y'all make provisions and resupply yourselves with gear, fire, acid and a plan to take out this troll on the second go around.

You devastatingly kill it with incredible leads, triumphantly returning to Wardenwood to spread news of your victory to Pippit and the locals.

Val, Verne and Tobin find themselves in a bit of a brawl at the local Geds hearth.

You all got a little too rambuscious in your merriment and celebrating that you received a four day ban and 10% of your wealth as a find, which I believe now is 3 days after your little venture excursion.

2 scouting out the bandit camp.

You take off the next morning to trek this camp and you find to be a little bit more than you bit off.

To.

Chew.

Doing Recon you gather Intel on the bandits location and decide to inform Pipit and make preparations for it for a possible attack.

And that's where we're starting off from.

I I do believe there were talks about getting jars.

Of oil.

Jars of.

Oil.

We want to go pyro on this.

And I think I wrote down, yeah.

So he's given us supplies.

He gave us like a writ for supplies or something, and then three Archers to accompany us.

3 Archers are to accompany you.

And.

You do have a writ of supplies that you can basically get some stuff within reason and it's all you know taken care of.

I just want to get jugs of oil and flaming arrows for The Archers.

It's going to be a lot of fire.

All right.

It is midday because you guys got back pretty early and then with a talk with Pivot and everything, I would say it's about closing to noon.

So you still got pretty much half a day to prep, do whatever you like.

So we're going to go around, take The Archers with us and get all the stuff that we need.

Realize the last session, but Pippit has been day drinking apparently.

Because there's a lot of stress.

So he was freaking out.

Probably going to be indisposed of for the remainder of the day.

Well, he gave us what we need, but I don't think we need him right now.

All right, Yeah.

He is relieved of his duties.

Where are you all headed?

Exiting the the.

Office.

The what is that?

The town hall Town hall in.

You know Town Hall Inn.

Let us go purchase some supply or acquire some supplies with this receipt we got.

And we need to see our Archers.

Where are they?

Well, what all are we going to need?

Well, are we going to need a lot of oil?

We're going to.

We're going to need to burn the area around that camp.

So we give the illusion that it's a massive attack and they scatter.

Bandits are not technically an organized army, but if we freak them out and we sneak around, spread the oil, and then start shooting with blaming arrows and we fan out and start shooting, they will think it's an attack, a coordinator attacked by a, you know, some kind of group of people that is big enough.

Right.

I just, I think there's so many of them that if any one part of our plan goes wrong with with killing ourselves.

Well, we're not going to go in and engage.

We're going to stay from a safe distance, deploy the fire and start firing and shooting.

And then we see what happens.

If they freak out and run away, that's good.

But if enough of them charge us.

We run away, we run away, we give ourselves the distance than a heads up.

Wish I had your confidence, Val.

Well.

The plan if the if the.

If we stick to the plan, we might achieve some results.

I don't know, I think, I think we're walking ourselves into a death trip.

I thought, I thought, me and Vern, we can sneak in around the camp and start dousing oils in a circle around it, and then we retreat back.

And then between me and Vern and the three Archers, we fan out and we start shooting.

Arrows would fire on them and light up the place like Christmas, whatever that is.

But how many, Mrs.

Redcap?

How many tents did you say you saw?

I.

At least like 50.

I wasn't really paying attention Tobin, to be honest.

Did we say 20 to 60?

Tents.

There was probably like 20, at least 30, but you know, like most bandits would probably, you know, share tents.

Yeah.

They're on the wilderness, you know?

Yeah.

Keep a little.

Warm and those tents are also flammable, so you know what I mean.

This is Redcaps eyes get big about that.

This is Redcap I I I can assume you have a thing for fire so maybe you will enjoy this.

June wants me to burn that sucker down.

This is your chance to burn as much as you can.

What say you?

So we just, we just, we got to be able to move faster than them.

You know, we don't know if they have horses or anything else like we just got to, we just got to be able to create distance between us and them after the attack.

I I think we should go after their supplies.

Yeah, just go after their their food or their.

In worst case scenario we should prepare for like 1.

Worst case scenario we all spread out and run separately and escape.

We all going to meet back in the town but like if it goes really bad just don't look for the next person just escape.

So this way when we spread out, you know, they have to spread their efforts.

Sounds even more like death.

Well, Mrs.

Redcap, though you said something there.

What if we what if we mess with their supplies first?

What if you brew something in that cauldron of yours and we slip it into their their ale or boot and and it it makes them sick or.

Sleepy, and then we can burn the place quietly.

Right now, give ourselves a bit more of an advantage.

I was just thinking, you know, if, if we just give them a bloody nose, they're not going to, you know, maybe they don't go after Warden Wood, but they go after Hope's Keep or something later.

You know, that's not acceptable either.

We got to really hurt them bad.

Yeah, can you poison them or put them to sleep?

Well, I think they're going to detect the flask of acid.

But not the acid.

We want to sneak something in into their drinks.

Yeah, I know.

I'm just, I'm just thinking of what I have on me.

I'm really way more confident when I have a flask of acid on me.

Let's.

Well, we have we have a receipt of supplies.

This is our chance to pick up what we need.

We we can ask the admit them about, we can ask the shopkeeper about various poisons when we have the writ, you know.

We have the writ.

I don't know if we're allowed diplomatically to use chemical weapons, but we can.

We can ask the storekeeper, Maybe she'll know well.

I think the the writ will help us with that too.

Let's head to the store or the shop.

Yeah, I'll make your way to the general store.

It still says general store.

You walk in, you see a familiar looking elf lady.

Yes, what can I do you all for?

Do you have poison, I'm sorry?

Or do you have anything that puts anyone to sleep at least?

Why would it?

I have some tea.

I'm so sorry, what what my friend means is she?

Lowers and starts squinting her eyes at all of you judgingly.

So we're the ones tasked with scouting out the bandit camp that assaulted Warden Wood not too long ago, OK?

And we we needed whatever we can get to get an advantage on them.

I don't know anything about attacking Bandit.

So we if you have any supplies like poison or.

Sleep potions or sell poisonous ingredients.

We are desperate.

Do you know anyone who does?

No, who just willingly sells poisons out in the open like that?

That that sounds.

Dangerous.

Ma'am, we are at war.

What?

We are the ones standing between the bandit and your shop being destroyed.

I mean, there's a wall of guards.

I'm free that the the power would.

OK, how about oil flasks?

Oil oil jars?

I do have plenty more.

I just actually restocked.

I got about.

Let me check.

I just gained a couple more so I got 5.

We'll take all of them.

Oh OK.

Are they in glass or leather flasks?

They're in middle flasks.

Metal flasks.

We need to switch them into jars.

Do you have Jaws?

Clay jars of.

Course I have all kinds of jars.

We need them to be able to explode.

I would like your last flask of acid.

I think I only bought 2 from you and you had a third last time.

Do me see if she still has it?

Did we buy glass at some point?

Yes, I did.

Do you still have that?

Yeah, OK, good.

Good.

And I'm guessing that's part of the Ritz.

Yeah.

So as long as I use the flask of acid on the bandits.

I should make a note of this just for my.

OK, so you guys are taking 5 oil flask?

And.

A flask of acid and 55 plates jars.

Or glass or whatever's available.

I'm.

Just going to keep the five off flash and yeah you can you can easily find use some jars that would fit that in and with corks.

And be breakable if thrown.

Yeah.

They want these jars do.

You have the smaller jars.

So the flask is, you know, like a a pretty decent size to what you'd use to, you know, douse kind of anything what you had before the jars would mimic that same size.

All right, good handheld little.

Improvised grenade.

Yeah.

All right, cocktail Molotov.

That's the idea.

Anything else?

What else do we need?

Rope.

We have rope, so I guess yeah, we're good.

Where's the nearest latrine?

There's a Privy Outback.

You can.

OK.

All right.

Thank you.

There's a cabal is the inn has their own little outside of I'm sure the town you're diplomat, especially if you have the red.

There's privies all around that place.

Do we need anything else?

I mean.

I can only think of oils we've got.

Anybody else can think of anything else?

We've got the jars we've got.

I mean, you're going to make fire arrows I assume?

I already have arrows that are fire ready.

Okay.

And Vern?

I guess probably should probably talk to who's that Ingram to get the more arrows supplied up.

For the other Archers, we need to supply them with the arrows that can fire.

True.

Yeah.

Yeah, where are they?

How are we supposed to meet with them?

Let's go and find.

Them at the town hall.

Let's go and find them.

All right.

Do you want to Do we do that first or should we get our?

Supply, Yeah, we need, we know.

I mean, we are getting the supplies from this shop, aren't we?

I mean, what about the weapons?

Let's go find The Archers and go shop for everything together, because we need them to be on the same page with us.

OK.

Where you guys headed?

Who's in charge of the military?

Guard house somewhere in Warden Wood.

This town is chaos.

There would be a barracks kind of past the town hall in the center that you probably say so was, Val would have noted.

Take a note when he first originally walked around while you were doing your geez thing.

And when he first came to town, he would have closed.

It let's go there, do the barracks and present our papers and get our three fellows with us.

Sounds good.

I make a way across the village.

It takes about approximately like 30 minutes to walk across the way.

While, while they're walking, Mr.

Redcap is going to have an idea.

Hey guys, I have a I have a rat, you know, and rats can kind of get into things and supplies, so we could attack them without them really realizing that it's us.

If I send the rat in, that's an idea.

Mess with them.

OK, yeah, I'm just saying we could cover the rat in something too.

Let's.

Use the rat.

She's going to cover the rats of yours.

At this point I don't really care about this rat very much.

Just we can, you know he can, he can take a bullet for the team if you cover him with.

Like.

Some poison or anything and he can go take a dip in the jar of ale or whatever and that's it.

Yes, and take some of them out before we launch our attack.

Yeah, which we we should plan with The Archers too, to make sure we all know what we're doing.

Yes, make your way to the barracks where you see a couple guards just sharpening weapons on a bench outside.

They see you approaching.

Hi fellas.

Hi, what you would before?

I present to him the writ we are here and we were promised 3 Archers to accompany in us for our mission to destroy the bandits.

He.

Looked at the writ and he looked at the others.

Like what?

Yeah, it looks like a grocery list.

The other Snickers.

Hey, it's Pippi who's seeing.

Some oddballs will be popping up here.

Oh, yes.

Oh, The Archers.

Yes.

Hold on.

I guess they're probably inside.

You're probably looking for.

At least I know one of them.

A dwarf.

He's the only dwarf in there.

You'll spot him.

Sounds good.

Thank you very much.

You.

Know I'll make your way inside to this main room, which is just a bunch of tables.

It's kind of like their cafeteria area.

You see a few random guards just kind of like, you know, polishing armor, suiting up some, eating various guard activities that you do notice a short dwarf kind of sitting by himself wearing like some leather armor.

He's got a bow and is a quiver that's on the ground next to him.

He seems to be writing something.

Up and wait for him to finish writing what he's writing.

He's scribbles there for a second, senses your presence turned around.

I how can I help before?

Hello Sir, we Pippet sent us and we, well we were told you were one of The Archers that would be accompanying us on our attack.

Oh yes, so you're the adventurers, the suicide party.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Yes, I'm Tobin.

This is Vern, Val and Mrs.

Redcap.

Greetings.

Greetings do you all.

Right.

The others should be coming here shortly if you want to take a seat.

Unless you have another place you want to discuss this, I don't think anyone here is going to care.

We can sit here.

Sounds good.

Fair enough.

Kind of goes back to scribbling on a slow note.

After a few moments, you see two other small figures walk up.

They they clock the dwarf and they, like, run up to him.

Hey, Yeah.

Is this the is this the party?

And you see before you a short halfling, scruffy brown hair also adorning kind of the same uniform with a leather armor, the bow kind of like almost uniform.

And then next to him you see this eye looking short green goblin with long pointed ears that kind of go and curve outwards from his head, kind of like a football sides if you will, with his ears seem to be kind of cut and jagged in certain spots, green with kind of like leopard and wart here and there.

A long pointed scooped nose as well.

And he seems to be digging in his pockets constantly.

When I see when I see them I, I, I kind of like smirk and I whisper to burn.

This is perfect.

Them being short they can be concealed.

I was really nervous about having them.

Tall looking Archers.

They stand out in the woods.

So side note, real quick, I rolled for the ancestry of all three of these and they all came out.

Short you got 1/2.

Wing a dwarf and a God.

Hilarious in this.

Attack.

We don't need anyone to stand out and them being short, they can hide in the bushes and shoot.

Their job is to shoot fire.

You see the half wing, I must say, this is I never actually ventured outside the walls to an actual camp.

I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of nervous.

And you see him fiddle with something, he pulls something out and he starts eating like a low ration fighting.

So we have we all have plans or anything.

This is your chance to be a hero, son.

And yes, we have a plan.

I did.

I wasn't thinking of all that.

We do have a plan.

What are all of your names?

Oh.

My name is Gertie.

Pleasure to meet you, Gertie.

Yes, I've been working as the Archer here in the the South wall for about 5-6 years.

I've only went to like hunting parties here and there but I've never actually went out and shouting expedition such as this.

I'd be lying if I say I wasn't nervous, but I have very very noticed and he pulls out another rash and is.

Oh don't worry, I understand.

I this is maybe my 4th or 5th time out and I'm still nervous.

Oh girl, I'm not the only one.

I'll pull my flask out and take a swig.

Mrs.

Redcap is going to try to shake the hand with the goblin.

Hello.

That's me takes out his hand and you notice on his right hand he's actually has an 6 fingers one extra pinky and he grabs your hand and it takes us nice to meet you my name's.

Mort Mort.

Mort.

Mort.

Yes, I've, I've been here for over 1213 years.

It's hard to tell now.

He puts his handbags in his pocket like he's rummaging for.

Something are you missing?

What are you looking for there?

Are you missing something?

No, no, no, no.

He crosses his hands over his shoulders.

No, no, nothing, nothing.

Nothing important.

It doesn't matter.

So what's the plan?

What are we?

Doing What are we doing here?

We're.

Killing bandits.

I hear.

So the plan is we're going to make sure to equip you guys with the arrows that can be flaming arrows.

And no, your job is to shoot flaming arrows.

OK, we're going to set up the bait and you guys will shoot blaming Arrow.

I love this plan already, all right.

All right, and what is your name, Sir?

Looking at the dwarf.

Hira.

Good to meet you.

Indeed, indeed.

Scribbles finishes writing his little note, or whatever he's writing.

He folds it up, puts it in a little envelope, and puts in his like little satchel.

All right, when are we supposed to be headed off?

Let's head off tomorrow because we're going to need all day.

Kind of getting late right now.

We wanted to attack at night.

Unless you want to get there at night and Cam.

Poison them and.

Start doing the work we.

Can yes.

All right, that sounds like a game.

So attack at night, poison them if we can manage to tonight, and then we have flaming jars and flaming arrows and we want to spread out and just shoot fire in there.

What else are we going to do to protect ourselves?

Like should we make a barricade or?

Once we unleash hell on them, we get ready to run back.

Should we light a wall of oil between US and them?

Should.

We, we will set up a, a, a fire perimeter between US and them.

So when they are coming, if we see them charging towards us, we're going to light it up and and then run.

For it, I like that.

So we're all going to see the door just be on the one side and create like a fortress.

We're not going to flank or anything.

Now we should spread out.

Yes, and.

We do spread out so someone wants to be in the danger though.

For you, The Archers, we need you to spread out and be in positions to fire from different angles at their camp.

Maybe like 1/2 circle?

Yeah, a clutter circle or arch.

Yeah, hard formation.

We want them to think there are more of us than there are.

Because there is a lot of them.

We can have lines of fire and acid, so you can create barriers between you and them with those, with those lines of fire, Yeah, with the oil.

Oh yeah, Can priests use bows?

I don't see why not.

Then purchase a boat.

Weapons club, crossbow, dagger, Mace, long sword, staff, warhammer.

I can use a crossbow.

There you go, it's the same thing.

You want me to buy you a crossbow, Tobin?

I might be able.

To OK let me know if you can't.

I can.

I can spot you.

Yeah, I forgot about that.

By that I meant, you know, worst comes to worst, I can actually buy it for it.

We are known for over preparing sometimes.

That's why we're still.

Under prepared, right?

Right.

Crossbow range.

Maybe there's a space, maybe not.

Type R damage 1D6 properties is 2 handed.

8 gold.

I don't know what I think 2H means 2 handed, but I think L is.

Two handed, but your left hand I'm just.

Kidding.

Shoot.

left-handed.

Mandatory.

OL loading you must porco moving to reload this weapon.

Oh.

OK.

Got it.

OK.

Are you getting a crossbow?

I think I should so I can help with the shooting.

Yeah.

And you, you can also maintain the distance between you and your enemy, right?

Because you don't want to engage at this point.

You want to shoot from far away?

So then yeah, I guess if after our planning, if we're going to hit the store again, I'll pick one up.

So you're all sitting around the table creating your plans.

Guys want to go now to the shop?

Yeah, we're going to go to the shop.

We're going to make sure these Archers have sufficient arrows that burn.

And we can make them help with the prepping the arrows.

Fire too.

You meet up Egrim, he notices A writ and he's basically at your beck and whim.

One crossbow, please.

1st it's gonna.

Take me a moment.

I gotta.

Make it from.

Scratch.

Just kidding.

I There's plenty on the football.

Give me your strongest crossbow.

Give yourself 20 bolts and a crossbow.

I'm gonna write that down as well.

20 bolts goes in the gear.

Takes one, yeah.

One spot, 20 arrows, yeah.

We've got the red.

Oh my gosh, can I do another spiky torch?

That thing is good.

When you launch it, it kind of like sticks to some.

By lucky enough it sticks into somebody.

Runs around with it, right?

Catches more stuff on fire you.

Want to do another spiky?

Spiky torch?

I guess I don't know what to call that.

Spiky torch.

Yeah, basically a torch.

And a flaming club iron.

Spikes.

Yeah, yeah, you just missed that and then ragged it up and doused it.

And that's actually a pretty smart idea.

But when I say it does 2D4 damage because it's club, but then if it's on fire there's another D4.

But it's one time use like it's yeah, it's done after, yeah.

That's a hell of A use.

Yeah.

All right, crossbow bolt.

Do I get a halfling sized crossbow or is it way too big for me?

He's gonna.

Customize it for you.

Yeah, no, he's, he's been around the block.

So also like he's a dwarf, so he gets it.

Yeah.

The the size thing is pretty, you know.

Yeah.

Like cuts the the butt off of the stark, you know which means.

Shortens it for.

Me, which means if he can use.

It start and use it though, yeah.

Yeah, he's no stranger to height difference in and he's been around the block, so he gets it.

And he's got plenty of fitted crossbows for dwarfs, halflings, giants.

Maybe not giants giants, but like, you know, ogres and bigger people.

Does Mort have a a very little bow?

Kind of like a short bow.

Little goblin short bow.

Yeah, I love Mort.

You get in his pockets only after a couple hours passes some of the stuff he has to make, more specifically the arrows.

Oh, we prep our bolts and arrows, right?

Yeah, you do choose to do that at your room or the barracks, town hall, it doesn't matter.

And the Molotov cocktails.

So the jars, yeah, we're going to we.

Have them separate.

We have the jars of oil and the cloth we need to put them together.

But we're going to, when we get there, we're going to use one of the jars to create a fire line between us and them.

And then we're going to use one me and Vern, we're going to try to get as close as possible to the camp and douse around it or anything as far as we can douse and the area, which means it's flammable.

And then we get back.

Just keep in mind the D20 controls whether or not that works.

True also.

Stealth checks also with the.

Flask the size and the jars whatnot.

You could basically cover like a 5 foot area per flask.

Like if you think about you're trying to make a wall, like a little flask, like 5 feet of a stretch is going to be like 1 hex basically, yeah.

Square how many?

Or is it worth it or not?

Well, how many jars do we have?

We have 5 right Total, yeah.

Well, but you got 5.

I don't know if you guys have any more.

Can we buy more?

That's all they she had.

Yeah, I was hoping for more, but.

I do not have any oil.

Yeah, maybe we can look at the terrain when we're there and make decisions based off that.

I have another Lantern that I bought that also has.

Well, that'll help, because we can use the shutter when we're trying to sneak up to them all.

Right.

Then I guess we can go off full on Molotov on this thing if we can't get nearby because I was hoping to sneak as close as possible and just, you know, douse the perimeter.

But the coverage is going to be an issue.

If we don't have a lot of oil that would be like a waste.

But if you blow them up, fire scattered.

How could we utilize our oil to light other things up on fire more like we did for the troll?

We made that bundle and then put it at the door.

We never used it but.

There is a forest right around the band, the bandits behind it in the forest so that there's a lot of wood there.

It's flammable.

Yeah, I mean, the, yeah, the cocktail Molotov will work.

I mean, if you put it on fire and you throw it and explode, that's a lot of stuff that's going to catch on fire.

But if we landed in the middle of their camp, that's even worse for them.

Right, but we have 5.

Yeah, so, so some of the oil is used to attack the camp directly and some of the oil maybe were we put in our escape route.

Yeah, that's one jar we're going to use to doubt a line between US and them.

All right.

And perhaps you, Tobin, will be in charge of that line.

So whatever happens, your job is to light it up.

Oh dear.

And to heal us.

Where are you guys at right now?

We're in the middle of the town.

Yeah.

Middle of the town just just talking.

Post it up outside, yeah.

Just talking.

Maybe Kendana Geeves hers.

Yeah, Edrums back to the town hall.

Yeah, we're.

Walking from that shop, I guess.

So we're outside.

Would you want the three Archers with you?

Yeah, they are with that.

OK.

All right.

Because you're walking back to town hall.

Yeah, we're going to prep our arrows there together.

Because you guys are having this little conversation, Mort kind of pops up like, so do I have any plan of cutting the numbers in half?

Yes, my little friend, We we want to actually try to poison them if we can somehow.

See, Mrs.

Redcap here has a little friend that can help us sneak in.

An alchemist.

An arsonist, but a dirty A dirty, dirty rat too.

OK interesting, y'all might want to talk to Tabitha our apoc, a fairy.

She she might be able to help you, especially if you throw your names down and pivots their Bowers.

And what what what everything is about?

Can you take us to her right away?

Of course, all.

Right, need to weigh more.

Finally, someone who sells stuff that kills.

So as you see you're coming from the barracks and then you kind of like just turn and go towards the like the back, right, Because it would be self, you all know, be northeast of where you are currently at northeast to this little Hut that's kind of back allied, not out in the public.

And you see a little potion sign and you can kind of gather that's where Tabitha lived.

He knocks on the door.

Yes, yes, come in.

You open the door, come in, come in, if you don't mind.

I think I'm going to stand outside, Harris says.

Just kind of leans up and sharpen, start sharpening in this little sword.

Kind of give him a look like I kind of understand where he's coming from and then go in.

Y'all walk in and miss Redcap?

You see vials of all sorts of component glowing things, weird potion bottles of all kinds of colors, snake heads, leeches, just all kinds of weird fizzy things.

Kind of like a little Ella Meyer flash looking thing that's just constantly smoking but dissipating this purple smoke off on one shelf that just seems endless.

And just the vial itself never lowers in volume, but it's just constantly spewing this weird pink.

Just this Red Cap is like a kitten candy store.

Yeah, she's gonna.

All kinds of stuff she's gonna look.

Over to Val and like nudge Val and just be like just the writ.

Is there a maximum value on the writ?

See what's going on with that.

She's going to try to grab at the writ and try to look at it.

On the writ, it says by orders of Pippit allow these to have a within reason enough supplies needed listed here and you can see basically in different handwritings, you hand the writ over and basically it has what you purchase on it.

So it's basically just like, like I said, a grocery list that everyone that where you go gets written off and there's like a signature of who added it doing what kind of like a Ledger, a portable Ledger with a sign at the very bottom.

It says it has a pivot's signature on it.

Misses fancy fancy parchment.

For misses Redcap, whatever your reasons are, we're not walking out of here unless we have some poison or sleeping potion with us.

That that wording reasonable is a huge limitation.

Again, we.

Not if it's for the plan though.

We need, yeah, if it's for, even if it's for you, for pleasure, whatever, as long as we walk out of here with something that puts people to sleep or kills them.

All right, well, let's let's talk to Tabitha.

Let's ask her first for what we need.

I need some kind of sleeping thing or poisoning thing.

Or even just components if you know what would do that.

So ask her and see what she can provide.

What does Tabitha look like as we walk into her shop?

Tabitha is this older human lady.

She has thinning Gray hairs, sunken eyes, really short and hunched over, pale complexion all around, wearing like kind of like a blue, old school blue dressy, kind of like gown, looking with like a black, what do you call it?

Like felt, I guess we're after the midsection.

Very thin and frail.

Just, you know, kind of leopard spot Probably look like she's in her 60s, probably.

Late 60s maybe?

Yeah, mid to late 60s.

Just duh.

What?

What can I do you all for?

We were wondering if you have any sorts of poison or something that would put someone to sleep.

We're not allowed to sell poisons anymore by word of Bower.

I do have components that if you mix them well enough, honestly I don't know what would happen.

Well, we, we are in a very special mission here.

We're trying to take on the bandits who are attacking the town and we are making plans.

So once we venture out there, we are on our own.

So show her.

The rich show her the rich.

And here's the writ from.

Hold on.

She walks around on this desk, pulls out these like really thick glass and puts them on.

Walks back over.

Still looks like she's having trouble.

Who?

Who is that Pipit Tapper?

She.

Flask.

Oh boy, she's like shakily looking, takes her man before she gets down to Pipit's name.

She's like, oh, it's a writ, what is it?

Just say so.

Yeah, he gave us permission to get supplies because we're going pretty much to war on our own.

Was.

At the grocery store behind this kind of woman.

You understand our predicament.

Yes, I know with most adventures who in a written.

They.

Are very hard on what they get from old Tabitha, but I'm willing to get give you what I know I can get back in my wares if you will.

Honestly, I mean, I would be satisfied if you give us something that will put people just sleep.

And any healing potions if you have them.

Unfortunately, don't have healing potions.

Those components don't grow very well here and it's hard for anyone to get out there.

And everyone just kind of doesn't really much care for old Tabitha's healing portions.

They got all these priests to do that for them, of course.

Well.

If we are, that might.

Change.

If we are successful in our mission and let us know, maybe we can grab you some stuff while we're out in the wild.

What you need?

Oh, it's been a while.

I have to get my book.

I haven't dabbled in those kinds of magics in a while, but most of my stuff is.

Honestly, I've been experimenting a lot.

It's been a while since I remember what half of these potions do, to be honest.

I'll go get my book.

And she saunters off.

And are there like shelves with?

Shelves with all kinds of stuff all.

Kinds of stuff lying in the wall behind her, behind the.

Like chaos, Yeah.

Nothing's labeled got.

You.

Mrs.

Redcap or Vernon Val, can you see if you recognize any of these things?

Can we roll to see what we recognize in the room?

Give.

Like any plans?

I mean Mrs.

Redcap, that's your wheelhouse.

Do you recognize stuff?

Say in intelligence, OK, 16 total 16.

Yeah, Redcap, you got a 16.

Vern gets a rolled A7 for A6.

Vern is just looking at all kinds of thing.

Kind of like what is this?

I rolled.

I rolled an 11 -, 1 for a 10.

This Redcap, you've noticed some things that you could probably mix some stuff with.

You've noticed there's some components for possible invisibility, There's possible components for very volatile exploding stuff.

You've also noticed there is stuff for like language learning.

There is certain ingredients that you could possibly make some healing potions if you're careful with what you choose, because some of these items to you might look like you don't know how old they are, so how really they're going to benefit If they're more like fresh or if they've been sitting for a while, it might alter the benefit of the potion.

But you feel like with some of these you might be able to make something I'll say mechanically speaking.

I would allow.

You to roll for a handful of ingredients and then we're going to have to basically roll on a table to see what you kind of make.

All right, let's do that, yeah.

Just like do we have time for?

We should yeah, cuz we need as much.

Prep.

We have time.

We're not obliged to leave today because once we get out we're cooked, OK?

So I imagine too that there's probably like a number of things in there you could make with one other component that's not present.

Yeah, too.

So you'd see like, oh, I can make invisibility as an example with those two things plus 1/3 thing, but that's not here.

I'm just, I'm just gonna, we just go for explosives guys like.

Any and all of the things we can try for to help us.

We we're gonna take everything we might need with us and we decide over there if we we want to poison them, we need to have poison.

If we want to put them to sleep, we need to have poison to sleep.

Or burn if we also get invisibility.

We can sneak in.

This too because I only get it for three turns.

If I get invisibility, I can go there and douse certain things with oil.

Or slip the poison in different spots.

And think about it when you shoot the arrows at the place that is already oiled up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, and that was the plan.

So I'm leaning towards explosives and poison myself because it's just like, all right, we can try those multiple times and see what's going on.

The visibility is really useful at the beginning.

All right, right.

And I think my rat can just.

Or escape.

Mrs.

Redcaps.

Right.

Well, at least we have.

Visibility, visibility.

Escape too.

Yeah, that's.

True.

All right, Miss Redcap, give me.

2D62-D6.

You need one.

9.

I need you to roll me AD 82.

Give me another D8.

7.

All right, and one more.

4 So my rolls are 927.

Coven can't go to Keith's Earth.

And so he's just like trying to like make parties in streets.

He's distracted.

Right now with the whole shebang, what we're doing.

All right, we got to do this two more times, sessions of three, so give me another 3D8.

Another three or another 2.

Another 3D eight.

Just give me one at a time though 2.

All right, go ahead.

8 again.

1.

And another set of D8.

4/2 All right, five.

I don't know what our GM is doing over here.

I know.

But no, it's interesting.

It's more stressful than.

It should.

Be so you managed to make 3 potions out of nine ingredients.

The first one looks like Clearwater or the 1st 2 I should say look like they have.

They look clear like water.

They both have an eyeball inside of them.

One has a floral smell to it and the other just seems to be bubbling constantly.

The third one has a citrus scent to it and there's a lot of green fumes that you can see kind of perspiring out of it.

And there's also a skull on the bottle which just seems to appear in the green smoke.

And if you know what she made?

That's what we're going for, Nick.

Oh my gosh, Oh my God.

Oh give me one poison 1 something that kills.

This is why I wanted to expose.

So this is what we're going to do.

Portion of invisibility.

I need you to roll AD 20.

It goes three times, but tell me the number as we go.

3 20, not 20.

Nice.

OK.

Well, we don't know.

It's a chart.

14 That was good overall, that was.

Interesting.

In this case the D20 doesn't mean success.

Could be the bottom of the chart.

Something terrible.

Yeah.

I like that Tim was ready for this, though.

Yeah, I like that he had a play.

So I need you to roll D12.

D12 All right?

Oh good grief, 9.

9.

All right, I need another D12 from you.

That one that.

Could be a good one I.

Hope so.

Who knows?

And I need one more D12.

All right, three.

That's interesting.

He's doing like some high level math over there behind the screen.

I will do this since you did roll a natural 20 and it's not here, but I feel like that should be rewarded.

What would you like more, poison or a healing potion or fleet?

Poison.

Poison.

All right.

Good choice.

Mrs.

Reyes choose the healing potion.

She.

May have she may have a lot of experience in this area, who knows?

All these guys giving her rings.

I'm sure 700 years ago she was a looker.

I remember I still have one healing potion in my path.

Okay, good.

Yeah, I.

Have one?

Yeah, I have one too.

Still luckily.

So anything goes wrong, you know I can help somebody.

I have none, but I have cure wounds until it fails.

There's layers of unreliability here.

There's Tabitha's unlabeled ingredients.

There's Mrs.

Redcaps.

Mystery potion I will.

Say this, since you did AD 20 on that one potion, you know that one potion is a poison potion, OK?

The green one.

Yeah, it's the green crossbones.

You could just tell all.

Right, so I don't care about the other two the.

Citrusy skull one.

No, this is this one.

Just looks like you have the three potions.

You have 3 potions with whatever they do, and then you have one potion that you know is poison.

So 4 total.

Yeah.

Basically with these nine ingredients looked at someone was like, wait a minute, and then you started mashing.

It's like, oh, I know this and this and this.

That was this leftover stuff.

And then you just added water and boom you made a well known poison just out of memory if you will.

And accident is because you rolled A20 is it?

Small enough and potent enough that a rat could carry it and put it in an ale barrel.

I was thinking since you can turn invisible, you should probably go deploy it.

Three turns, though?

That's what, 18 seconds?

18 seconds if a round is 6 seconds.

So you can't be invisible during no fight.

Once a day I can do it for three turns.

Yeah, it's it's round.

So if we were to do this in combat, it if you sneak.

It if you have to sneak up to the camp surmise where the barrel is or whatever water poison.

Ale, food, anything.

Turn invisible, basically dart there, do it real quick, and then get out in like, yeah, like I said, 18 seconds.

OK, that's terrible in this building.

It's meant for like, it's meant for like, oh, somebody sees me like you're in bed.

And like that's hard, invisible and.

You're about to die and you need to, yeah.

In reserve, yeah.

We're going to have to figure out how to do this.

All right, let's get out of here.

That old lady is going to take forever.

Oh.

Yeah, she is still scrounging through a book on page to page, like, oh, that's not the content.

It'll be like, we'll be back later, that's okay.

Tabatha, make sure you send a big fat bill to pip it, okay?

I will say, is she as you're like coming, actually like looking through pages, you brings the nine ingredients up and she kind of just writes it down absent mindedly with a, you know, price just like anything going back, I was like, Oh yeah, total of eel.

Yes, I've did that before.

Some memories and brain capacity at that point.

She she's like you give her something and she's like, Oh yes, dealt with this sulfur pixels.

I don't, I don't pixels.

That's it.

I don't know what.

Pixelated Potion.

I have Newt and stuff like that.

Anyway, you, you get your opponents, it gets ritted and all that.

So yes.

All right, now it's time to go.

This is it guys.

Well, we got to prepare our jars and Oh yeah, bolts and arrows, let's prepare.

That I'm gonna honey.

Y'all done there?

I don't like this place as you all watch as you all come out of Tabitha's.

You can see other dwarf here in another knife.

OK, where we off to now?

Let's prepare our our arrows and prepare these jars and we head out.

Some of us could even do power naps.

Are you guys trying to leave tonight?

Or.

They want to go at night.

Let's say after everything is probably, oh, you want to travel there at night and then press on because you know it's going to take about like, what was it 5?

Hours.

Four hours.

I can't remember it was I.

Thought it was 4 hours.

Four, it was 6 hours.

The way you went to, because you guys went down to the camp, right?

But then when you came back you kind of did a diagonal thing, which was like 5-4 hours.

So we should leave.

Well, what time is it now after all our shopping and stuff?

Is it probably late afternoon?

Yeah, mid.

Afternoon I would.

Probably stay it's like around 33 that's.

A good time.

We could, we could do, we could get close, we could do a full rest ourselves, but wake up early like before dawn, like

4:00 AM attack or something like that.

So you're thinking get out there, camp and then attack, OK.

Back in the middle of the night, into the morning.

They least expect it, and they're most asleep.

I.

Just want.

To see fire.

That would be that would be a risk.

Fire.

Thanks, Mark.

That would be a risk.

If we go there and camp, we have to do watch overnight and some weird stuff might happen and trample our plans.

Alternatively, we could wait, sleep, leave about midday and then get there the last night.

I'm worried the bandits might leave if we wait too long.

They were talking about leaving.

We're.

Attacking again.

OK, so how about this?

We just go and attack.

Tonight.

Yeah, the element is surprised right now and hit it hard.

We finally know where they're at.

You know they could always move camp with those.

So, so that's 10th, that's one option.

OK, well suppose if we're going to March into our deaths, the sooner the better.

All right, I see the GM rubbing it.

Yeah, it's not good.

Let's go.

Alright y'all sitting foot out.

Yep.

What have I gotten myself into?

For tarragnas sake, it's going to be fine.

Oh, before we leave.

Just before we leave.

Maybe they're doing their arrows up or figuring out stuff.

Mrs.

Redcap is going to.

I want to find a local artist.

Take a picture of.

A sculptor.

Sculptor, yes, sculptor specifically.

All right, easily enough.

You find a very whimsical man who seems to kind of have like a little art gallery in the side of one of these houses, if you will, in the marketplace.

It's very, very artsy.

It comes out with like big puffy, A striped red and green and blue puffy shirt.

You know, he's got that Volo hat, that barred hat with a little feather that flops over and down.

It's got a wicked curled mustache that like comes off his face to very pointed in just a mustache, a pretty chiseled jawline, if you will, dark hair, kind of like a dirty brown, if you will, a fairly good shape, definitely dressed to the nines.

And you actually see him in the midst of a painting as you approached him.

Oh, yes.

How may it help you?

I'd like to Commission a sculpture.

Oh, sculptor.

Well, you came to just the right place.

Are you busy?

I'm always open for a business.

What done is He kind of aftermindly listens to you.

He's like, what would you have me do?

I got to ask you a question with your question.

Have you heard of the Tobin maneuver?

I have not heard of this Tobin or this maneuver.

Please don't lie to me.

I.

Am already here.

It's.

Where a half lean dwarfs priest shoves A flaming torch up into the privates of a a giant.

Troll.

He stopped mid stroke.

What?

That is.

Very.

Interesting.

And he turns to you.

You have my full intention.

Attention.

I would like to pay you some amount of gold.

What are we talking about here?

Sculpture.

How big you want it to?

What kind of material?

Marble.

We talking to some clay?

Like cheaper stuff?

Clay.

Let's just do clay.

And it doesn't have to be both troll legs, just maybe one troll leg.

They'll use their imagination.

You want this to size.

One to one, one to one.

Yeah, I think so.

If it's just clay, maybe you can do it.

It's.

Like a small little kind of sculpture that you can put on the night stand.

No, no, I want it in the center of town.

Oh, I don't know if I could put it in the center of town.

You usually need permission for that.

Well, you could put on a cart or something.

Well, just keep in your gallery.

We don't even know if we're going to live through this thing.

I'm going to prepay you.

Oh, I.

Hope so.

It's.

Amazing.

Like I.

Will need a.

Description at least.

OK, so half lean.

Dwarf.

Preeze.

You know the type.

You know the type.

He's male.

I colored.

Him.

It's a he I established.

That I don't know.

But what about this?

Troll.

How big we're looking at well.

Let me, let me Mary has the toes.

Tell her Misses Redcap sent you.

She's got the toes to get the right color made.

Mary, you're talking about the town hall made Mary.

Yeah, yeah, she's got my troll toes.

She's got the.

Tell her you just need to see them for proportions.

Yeah, and I you could even I don't know how, I don't know how I haven't guard you are, but you could use the real troll toes if it's one to one.

Oh, OK, that might have something to go.

Off awesome smell though.

You'd have to do something about that.

Maybe I could talk to Tabitha?

Yeah, yeah.

And and Mary, she's had to deal with the smell for a while, so she may have some tips.

He's cribbling just like even more extra.

So how much?

How much would that set me back if it's one troll leg and clay?

Just the troll leg?

Wait, so a halfling at scale with the troll leg and just him shoving something?

A torch.

A torch.

Up.

Awkward people can use their imagination for the rest and it'd just say Tobin maneuver on the on the bottom and you know.

It takes some clay for sure.

I probably have most of it in the bag.

Might have to get some more.

The sculpting of course can take some time.

I could probably do it for 25 gold.

They did want to scale.

You can haggle, tell him whatever you got, or when you return make a deposit.

How can we?

How much is it for?

Half.

Size.

For half the size I'd probably do half the price.

I could do it for 12 gold actually.

Give me a charisma.

OK.

Yeah, 10 total.

I could do it for 12 gold.

All right, OK, let's do it.

Deal.

Like the weirdest Commission ever in RPG.

That was Canon, even if, but it's.

Immortal, it's immortal.

It's.

Immortalized totally for some reason.

Yeah.

The assumption is.

If we die, we're gonna be heroes, and then you're gonna make.

Statues of us I wanna call you.

Heroes, I say.

I already have a statue.

Right.

It'll be something for sure.

This is worth it.

It's worth it.

OK.

And then Mrs.

Redcap is gonna go back.

All right.

All right, with that, you guys make your way outside into the wilderness.

I just need AD 6 from somebody to I'm.

Afraid roll it open you might have.

A specky day natural one.

OK all.

Right.

We just started, dude.

Yep, that was my first role too.

Y'all are.

Making your way through the 4th, everything seems to be chipper.

Kind of taking it all in when you come across a couple people kind of pop up.

Did you guys just walk right into each other?

What do these people look like?

There's three humanoid figures.

They're wearing, you know, tattered clothes, some kind of brandished weapons on their sides.

They just kind of stop and look at you and you just just a big pause.

Hi.

What's the fancy theme?

Some random people in the woods.

Right.

Yeah, we're just going about our business travelling.

Likewise.

All right, well, nice and fancy meeting you.

How many of them did you say there were?

There's three and they they're dressed just kind of like travelling people.

They kind of look ragged, kind of run down a little bit.

Do they have weapons on them?

They do have weapons, you see, a sword, a little Mace.

Most of them are wearing like leather armor.

Well, it was nice to meeting you.

Thank you.

We're we're leaving.

Since Red Cat was getting a real suspicious of them, be like where are you headed?

Do you know we're just, you see one hit the other real quick.

We're just headed for a stroll, just passing by trying to find some food.

All right, this is red cap.

See if they're lying.

Give.

Me a wisdom.

I'm kind of eyeballing them too, can I wisdom as well?

Yeah, anyone can make a wisdom if they'd like, Yes.

Remember, there's three of them and there is.

6.

16 total.

And there's eight of us.

Miss Redcap, you do recognize one of them?

Oh yeah, from the.

From when your mouse was scouting.

Oh, OK, interesting.

You catch like a glimmer of kind of like a badge or something, a little token that was just kind of like hanging on his kind of pin, like a little pin that was hanging on one of his like cloth tunic that kind of just caught your eye when you were scattering around.

You thought nothing of it then, but now you're locked in and hearing the voices.

It sounds really like some kind of rabble you would have heard during that night.

Mrs.

Redcap would like to cast I Bite on the.

Band and yes all right well I'm going to need initiative.

I will let you cast that off.

Even after that it's a.

Surprise.

Are you casting on that one?

The one that she recognizes, Yeah, Oh yeah, 15 for that.

So that passes the spell all.

Right.

What's the damage for it?

1D4 not having advantage with I bite Guys this is so big for me.

4:00 Nice.

And I need initiative from the party and let me get some battle music on.

Which is brought to you by Sirenscape.

Sirenscape.

Use it for all your tabletop RPGs, Ambient sound study, sound effects, everything.

Sirenscape.

Miss Breadcap, What'd you get?

That's plus Dex, right?

Yeah, OK.

That's 19 total.

Nice.

14.

Well 14 Tobin 2 so this is interesting.

So this is wild because I, Vern and the bandits got the same role.

I rolled a 19 for both of them.

OK.

They can.

Roll again so.

They can do a roll off.

Yeah, well, you know, because Verne's decks is different from theirs.

Oh, he has a -1 though.

The bandits go first all.

Right, all right.

First off, your spell goes off.

You all seen Miss Redcap cast a spell before Miss Redcap.

When you cast your spell, you see basically the victim that you hit.

Teeth start growing out of their eye sockets and encloses and they just basically have teeth, like closed teeth over their eyes.

Everybody else just sees kind of like their eye kind of just has like a glossy.

If you ever seen like I guess like a dog or something that kind of has a glossed over eye, that's all you can tell.

So you know, she's what she's done, what she's done, but you've noticed it doesn't affect them in any other way except they just tend to not notice.

Miss Redcap.

Well, and it hurts them too.

Yeah yeah yeah, you notice some damage is done and you say you did 4 damage.

Yeah, okay, cool.

That bandit you see happens and he's just like.

Oh.

This blood splats out of his ears and nose and he just hits the ground cuz that's exactly.

No.

No, I take that back.

Wait, sorry, I looked at 2.

Two different things.

No, what I said stands.

You see blood comes out of his nose and ears and it just holds his face and like just hits the ground and he's dead.

Yes.

Oh yeah, good job, Mr.

Redcap.

Oh my God that was epic.

Right.

So I'm assuming those, that's Vern and everyone's basically close everyone's.

So it's their go.

So that one of them next to him, the second one's gonna see that and it's just gonna attack a valve.

So it's gonna roll and attack.

If it's.

Close or no with a sword, sorry short sword, that's another 19/20/20 to hit.

It cuts you for two points of splashing damage as he cuts in.

The other Band-Aid.

And he's going to roll in and hit burn in a panic 14 to hit Vern, and that hits for four points of, oh, lashing damage.

Vern does not have a lot of hit points as I just well, there's seven of us and two of.

Them, so probably they're only one round that.

Only around let them do.

Whatever they do.

Yeah, Miss Redcap, here we go.

Missus Redcap is going to move.

Between them and the where they know the camp is so like maybe like trying to cut off their exit.

OK, yeah.

I don't know where that I don't know.

It'd be in the direction behind them.

Yeah.

They they came.

You were headed in One Direction.

I don't know where they came from, but yeah.

And then she's.

Going to, I think she's just going to catch the eye bite again, OK, She has advantage on it.

Oh gosh.

Dang it, she lost.

She didn't succeed with advantage.

She just still didn't succeed.

She she failed out by it and I can't.

She got the most important success, Yeah.

OK, but that's that's.

Still, I got one of them, so that that's the big thing.

OK, that's her turn.

All right, Val, what do you do?

I'm gonna produce.

My long sword.

And go right up into his face.

Rot ruin.

Yeah, the.

New new sword, right?

Yeah, yeah, a new store.

Plus one, I believe.

Yeah, 16 total.

Yeah.

All right, nice.

Yeah, that hits the damage.

On that one is all.

Is it the same as the one D8?

Whatever, because I know you have perks.

Or whatever.

So you add that of, oh, the sword, the long sword.

So I believe it's the D8, yeah, 1D81-D8 Yeah, the same.

As one D 8 + 1.

Because it's a plus one sword and then I believe you have a plus one for yes, some traits that you have.

I do and automatically have my own.

Plus one, so yeah, to attack rolls and damage, yeah, so.

7 plus the two that's.

Nine, you slice them in half.

Nice.

That's.

Why just words?

Out as he just.

Diagonally slashed through his leather armor and he just like anime style just.

Like he falls.

Apart, they're only turned.

Nice.

Yeah, Tobin.

You're up inspired by their.

Immediate kills.

I'm going to run around Vern and I'm going to bash the the remaining guy with my Mace.

Give me a tack row 14 to hit that hits.

Yeah, sweet 06 damage.

You bash him in his head just.

Explodes and he hits, falls over 4 and is dead.

You are out of combat.

That was the.

Most awesome.

Combat.

Ever since we played instant kills.

He did take some damage.

Both.

Burners the last guy.

Falls.

What was that?

They were bandits.

Probably they were scouts.

Did we know that?

Well, they look like it and.

They're coming from.

The same direction.

I guess so, yeah, we're just a slaughter.

So what was up with that?

Era Mart Gertie where were.

You guys.

You see them?

Just.

Now knocking arrows come backing up.

Well we don't know how to shoot you.

You guys seem that got this but now they saw as to what we can do.

They're like, OK, these guys are serious.

I recognized one of them.

I.

Recognized one of them more.

He was abandoned.

Was it?

You see?

Mr.

Red Cape.

Confirms they are.

He's like the least trustworthy guard.

Like he's ever existed, Don't know how to.

Play a gamma like a gobbling guard is hard.

That's probably why they sent him on this mission.

You can tell why they're trying.

To get rid of him for me, of him.

So.

So miss, miss just.

Going to be like, I recognize one of them from the camp, let's get their stuff.

Oh, let's get their stuff.

OK, that makes me feel.

A lot better about what we just did.

Well, let's hide their bodies.

Or leave them for the.

Beasts of the night to come find.

Just in case, let's hide their bodies.

From you want to maintain the element of.

Surprise.

I don't know.

If we have enough time, if we just move.

Throw them in the bushes over there.

Don't leave them in the middle of the.

Road, that's all I'm saying.

Are we on a Rd.

You're in brush at.

This point we are.

Then never mind.

Yeah, draw the.

Draw the beasts here.

As we continue on and we maybe don't have to worry about them, but let's get their stuff.

Let's see what they got.

You.

Managed to.

Get 2 silvers each, so 6 silver, 2 crude short swords and a club.

I don't need those I.

Only have one open gear slot.

So I'm not.

I'm going to abandon those weapons.

They are useless to me for mechanic reasons.

There would be half the price.

Because they're kind of makeshift be they're not like they act as short swords, but they're, they're crude.

We can have The Archers carry the loot, right?

I'll be like the.

Archers do.

You want in on this.

Loot.

That's really that's what kind of weigh me down.

All right, I like to be legend, especially after the run.

I got my own short sword too.

I'm not the against part of them in the Bush, as you say, we could cover them up a little bit and just.

I just don't want to spend too much time on it.

Say I just say you can easily.

About like, maybe, well, especially with as many as there are really like 5 minutes.

Put batteries in like some thicker Bush or maybe just kind of brush the ground and cover up some of the blood.

Easy enough, right?

You venture forth, wait.

Can Tobin heal us before we move forward?

Oh yeah, we want to be on full health before we go any further.

Me and Vernon Vern got slashed.

Yeah, OK.

Before you did.

That let me see if I can just make a.

Self.

Oh yeah, the self.

I can.

Thank you, GM.

Thank you.

That's the.

DC-11.

What is Vernon's intelligence?

Yeah, not good.

Let's go.

But I rolled a 16 so he heals for one HP 1HP only.

No, Vern.

Does he's healing himself with a?

Self, let me do it for myself.

Let me do No, he took, he took.

Four I took two let me.

See if I can get rid of mine by myself too.

Self.

Yeah, he's still down like 3.

I got a.

10.

That's one below, I think.

Yeah, you need an.

11 Yeah, Yeah, you're right.

Open help me.

You can do a curative.

It's equivalent to.

A potion of healing which I believe is the D4, but it's intelligence check is 15 so you can track for that if you'd like.

All right, failed.

Well, you can't do a curative or a.

Salve anymore and what how much health do you have now that we're level?

I just need to gain back the two I lost but.

How much total health do you have?

11.

Is it worth it?

I mean.

If I heal you, no.

Problem.

But if I fail my spell, we don't have it for Maybe we can rest up.

You can rest up.

Never mind.

Yeah, let's push on.

Let's.

Push on.

I can.

I can because she lost eye bite too.

So OK, let's.

Push on.

It's not risky.

All right, you.

Eventually make it.

To the outskirts, as you can see, you're about, I would say far distance.

You can see the camp.

There's is a way to get closer.

If you'd want to go a little bit around the outskirts, I would say how right now you're basically safe because you're in the far distance.

If you like to move up to get kind of closer about the close area, you would have to do stealth checks.

And by the time it is like 3, I'd say the sun will be going down right about now, close to like 7-7 going to the 8:00.

So if we move any forward, we have to do stealth.

Check yes.

We're far enough out though, if.

We did a camp we.

Could you would have to, I would take watches and keep the jest probably going back further at least an hour, OK.

But you could freely do because you've traveled for like 5 hours.

Yeah, I think so.

Let's go by.

So just we go back and just.

Camp up, rest up.

Yes, we already killed three of them.

If we if we sleep soon.

It'll still be later in the night, but still night when we wake up.

OK, sounds like a plan.

All right, let's.

Let's go back a little more.

At least we know they're still here, you see.

All start bedding down about.

An hour away?

Yep.

Crust out three torches.

However you guys want to do that.

I'll eat one.

I'll eat one of those each.

Of the Rangers would be carrying two torches.

All right, so let's let's use.

Three of their one each from them that well, I I'm.

Happy taking one I want.

An opens.

OK.

And the other two?

OK, 2.

From them all right, I do need a.

Couple watches.

D4 I'll go.

1st D6, I mean D6, sorry.

OK.

I hate this.

Part 5.

Nothing watch goes on.

Uneventful.

All right, who wants to?

Go next guess I'll go.

Next it happens.

Yeah, that one.

2.

It's not much better, but yeah, he's pulling up the stats for a dragon.

Yeah, a dragon shows up, you're all dead.

The end.

Yep, I gotta say because I have plans.

For ones, especially in this and I feel like he would have been better off rolling a one.

Oh no.

Oh my God, that's the worst.

Thing you could say.

Jim, I think the worst thing.

You wouldn't be like.

This better off rolling a one Oh no all right so.

It's Hoban.

You're sitting there with a fire crackling, very lost in thought, thinking about.

This insane bandit attack, that giant rock monster I saw on a watch a few nights ago, or a night ago when you just hear not.

That.

Far off in the brush.

That's not some crunching and cracking and.

Sniffing around, start shaking people.

Around me, waking them up.

What?

What?

Snarling.

There's something snarling in the brush.

Keep it quiet.

I'm.

Going to keep shaking people quietly.

As they start to quietly get.

Up.

I'm going to do this in round.

They were a rural initiative.

Tell me, what'd you get?

10 Valero 1317 all.

Right.

So you wake up first.

You see Tobin shaking the others awake.

What would you like to do?

You start to also hear the snarling and sounds like sounds like something eating but not that far off.

Like the spiky torch?

Already.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

You like the spiky torch?

Got to go.

To Valroth.

You get up.

You notice Miss Redcap lighting her spiky torch.

You also hear the noise.

I'm going to go to her instead.

Just.

Wait, don't do anything yet Wasting torch please.

Slowly I have a.

Bad feeling feeling about this.

What, you're going to waste a spiky?

Torch on, maybe an animal put it out.

Radicam's going to shake her head and.

Keep it lit.

You're hearing this thing kind of get.

A little bit closer.

But finish.

Waking everyone else up, I'll pull out my Mace, pull out my.

Shield and just kind.

Of stand at the ready by the fire OK rolled higher so.

You hear, you know, you're starting to cure like footsteps get closer when 4 you just see the brush RIP open and you see this big face, this beak that pops out wild like bird or maybe even cat like eyes and it sticks its head out and just sniffs and then it looks at all of you so you can just like.

Stands out and you see this.

Big grizzled looking head of a bird looking giant beast staring at all of you and it's sniffing around.

It's got something in its beak, apparently, because crow.

Like a giant mangled crow.

And it's beak no like the the.

Beast itself.

The Beast.

Itself is kind of big quadruped looking thing.

But you notice it's big grizzly like arms, but it has feathers coming out of it and it just looks around and it's like and his eyes just like.

Widen and just opened.

Up everybody, stay quiet.

He's.

Looking at you.

As it just kind of chews.

And.

It's their first.

I don't know what this is, but Russell knows.

He knows, he knows, and then it's just.

He would have been better off with A1.

It it looks at you.

So far, no one.

'S making any kind of movement.

As far as I know, Tobin is cowering in fear.

Just terror up on its hind legs.

And it is huge, like probably two people tall.

It looks like the size of a bear.

Is it an owl bear?

It is indeed an.

Owl Bear, it is God.

Oh no, custom Vern, who is flabbergasted.

He gets up fully grabs his arrow, his bow and arrow already starts knocking it.

Thank you, Dean.

Guys, what?

What are we?

Doing.

As the other, can we stay?

Still and.

Maybe you'll ignore us.

How's it some food?

Do we have any?

OK, toss it.

Anything.

Give it anything, I'm gonna toss a ration, but.

On your turn it OK, On my turn I.

Plan to.

Toss a rash there goes to it's gonna go to red.

Cap as the others are getting up and knocking arrows.

They're basically waiting on your command as to what don't want to do Shoot, I'll toss a.

Ration I guess myself.

I don't know peace offering.

Give me a persuasion or.

A charisma, Charisma.

Oh God, Dirty 10.

No.

You have offended it you.

Hit it in the face.

You tossed at.

It and it just flies.

Past.

And then there's just it just.

Fluffs up bigger.

Maybe it's.

Angry at me?

Mrs.

Rich?

Yeah, it's staring daggers at you.

Val Roth, what do you do?

I'm going to take another ration.

And I'm going to put it in my hands and walk slowly and then put it on the floor and look at it.

This is for you do.

You have an animal.

This is for you.

And then?

I'll back.

Away like the.

Gods, he does.

That's a good.

Question.

He's a Ranger.

Have.

But do they?

Is that like any animals?

Do I have any animal?

Hold on.

Hey big guys, son's getting real low.

Just wild animals.

Wave fun.

Do you have advantage?

On checks associated with wildness, so I will.

I'll allow that.

I'll allow you to give a Charisma check with advantage, because you are a Ranger and this is this is a beast.

Wild enemy.

Yeah, 19.

Nice.

It sees.

You with your slow movements.

Sniffs the air with this beak slowly.

Goes back down on all fours.

As you're dropping it back in a way, yeah, I'm just putting it like on the floor and just.

Taking a couple of steps back like like this, you know, and kind of starts pecking at it, Bluffs up a little more just.

Gives it like a trigger.

Just starts eating the ration.

It goes to Tobin.

Eat.

Please be with us, please.

Shine your love and affection upon this creature and let it leave us alone.

I'm just clutching my holy symbol and praying, watching the thing, watching the owl bear.

I'm going to stay the Verne do the same.

Thing show her peace.

Borne's gonna.

He puts his arrow.

Down and also gets a rash in.

He kind of comes in front of it, starts cooing like we're making tribute.

To a God we're making sacrifice.

Oh thank God for advantage.

That was a one.

I rolled the same thing, the one.

With the advantage.

And then, oh wow, advantage, man.

Yeah.

That literally literally hits it working for a 15.

He looks at it just he's like taking take him.

Please leave us.

Please leave.

Leave the owl bear.

I'm going to give.

Him you see it eat it kind of like scratches around takes note of all you.

The Archers start to put their bows down seeing what y'all are doing.

After a while the snorts a little more and then just slowly walks away from you by keeping an eye and he actually leaves.

And I'll die, ha.

Ha, my God, there you guys got to look at it.

Think Tyrannus.

Think Tyrannus for ranges.

Or this?

And whoever.

Else that I rolled for that encounter.

Is an Elbear sniffing for food And then he was already eaten, so he's just that.

You guys hit the nail on the head with the food.

Oh my God, first instinct.

With an animal, feed it.

Something other than yourself right then dude, I think it's a.

Level 9 by the book.

Dude, Oh my, so it was looking.

I was like whoa, bro.

So we'll be dead immediately, Yeah.

Eaten outside of the bandit camp.

Sorry, level 6 would have all become Rangers.

And Archers for the more.

All right, have we rested enough?

To.

Briefly corrupted if a.

Fight started.

We'd lead it to the.

Bandits.

Yeah, just run runway.

Even 20 downward 2 and that.

Would be an.

Hour of running an owl, Yeah.

Without running an.

Owl there?

It's not going to.

Happen.

This movement is.

Probably 50.

I'd imagine.

5000 Well, yeah, they do.

Near you?

You'd match you no matter what.

All right, so that happened, but you all need.

Contracts to see.

If you get your full rest, okie dokie I.

Swear to all of the gods though, it's the conchic and I believe.

Yeah, me too.

Me too.

Yeah.

Just one off, one off.

Didn't even need to rest.

Because we didn't get it.

I got a 14.

Nice.

But you don't have spells to.

Get back that means you heal up that's.

That's true, yeah.

You have to be.

ADC 12.

Constitution check.

I got you.

I got a 17 -, 3 that's 14.

We all need to spend a ration too, if we have.

Barista Burn does not.

As he rolled a natural.

1 kind of failure they care if it consumes irrational but gains no benefit from resting Val Roth is the only one who heals and got any sleep yeah and you get your curative and whatever back are you big well.

Something useful I guess.

So it's the middle of the night.

Technically one more watch that you don't have to take a check on.

I would say it's like literally 12 midnight.

The other check would make it close to two, which would meet you at 3:00 in the morning to like, venture an attack.

You wish to do that.

That's the.

Plan.

This is it, boys.

Everybody ready?

Yes.

OK, the Archer.

Probably.

Use a little healing myself but.

Can I heal him with my thing or can I try?

Yeah.

Are you doing the curative or the?

Salve.

Salve only heals for one.

Curative is AD 4.

I'm going to go try the curative, right?

It's the DC is 15 intelligence.

Oh.

19 Nice.

That's all.

Yeah, so give me.

AD you have to be yeah, 19 -, 1 that's 18 still.

Beats 15.

Give me AD 4.

And hope for a four come on three that's he's.

Back at Max.

Nice.

But he can't.

He can't do cell right.

Because that's what he did.

Yeah.

He didn't rest.

He lost his self.

I don't.

Know if I did curative he didn't do.

Creative.

He did.

He did only.

Cells you failed.

OK, so I still get.

I did both.

OK, cool.

Good to know.

Good to know, nice to see.

You back on your feet, Vern.

Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better.

I guess we're going.

To do this, yeah, let's do this.

The Archer's.

Note So when we approach, I need you guys to fan out, be ready when we signal you or shout at you.

You just fire flaming arrows.

Can we can we look at the?

Terrain in general, just as we approach this thing, can we look at the terrain, see if we can take advantage of something going on there?

Yeah, it's mostly when you get there you can.

See, it's mostly Bush and trees.

There's a little bit of an opening that they kind of pushed away from themselves to create a space away from the trees.

So they have a clearing to kind of see.

So it's to kind of see it's entirely surrounded by.

Forest in a forest.

Yes, they they purposely do it in the middle of a.

Forest, so it's like so there's no open trails because you don't if you're in a little camp hidden out in the woods, you don't want like a direct rows to your hideout, if you will.

OK, so what's the?

What's the plan?

The little dwarf comes up to you, Mr.

Redcap can we do the rat and the?

Poison first we can do the rat and the poison I I kind of like.

That or or a Tobin and the poison if you're feeling up for it.

Miserable self maybe?

I mean, I haven't.

Done it very often and it doesn't last very long.

When it does happen, do you think Gaid would like you to poison A?

Bunch of people, Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't.

Know June would.

There are bandits living savagely.

And killing innocents.

So I don't know, a wrath would probably be against them.

It's a good deed.

OK, I just.

Like that the you.

Know we can.

We can take away their supplies, you know, a supply wagon, something that like you know, has all their food or their torches, you know, something that you know, just really wrecks them so they can't attack Wardenwood or hopes keep later on.

But I got another idea, guys.

I got another idea.

What you got?

It's all.

Forest.

Right.

Yes.

So if we burn.

Down the forest.

They're hosed, yes.

That's that's the.

That's the final strike on them.

So if we surround them with fire.

The fire doesn't just go out, it goes in to their camp.

That was the idea.

Mrs.

Red Cab.

So.

If we do like.

Two circles, or two partial circles with some of the oils that could really start a lot of fires all around them all at once and they have no idea which direction to go or to run away.

Yes, it could confuse them more.

But we split into two teams and we go.

Into the opposite directions and we make 2 bowls of fire, 2 circles, 2 circles OK inner, 1 outer and we do them.

On different, different ends, yeah.

Two opposite sides, yeah.

OK, that sounds like good backup and rain and fire.

Arrows while they yeah, while it burns.

How about this, me and Vern?

We go make the 1st circle east side at Tobin.

You go do one in the opposite side, The Archers in position, ready to fire.

Mrs.

Redcap, you send.

While we're doing this, you send the rat with the poison and see if you can get it into their ale.

Anything they drink just as an.

Extra.

Option OK but before we head anywhere, let's mark the line of oil that will separate us between them in case we have to retreat that one line of defensive line of fire right when we.

Do the line.

I'll get like a fallen tree branch or something and kind of stick it in the ground so that we all know that that means that's where the line is, the line of oil.

All right, How many flats are you?

Spending because it's about like 5 feet per flask.

5 feet, so we're going to use one flask.

For one line, maybe just four corners, not a circle.

But four corners of fire?

Yeah, assuming the brushes and the woods.

Going to help it right good we and we could put Kindle lane.

Around, yeah, so I think using them as Molotov cocktails.

Would spread more fire than just pouring it out and lighting that.

OK.

All right.

That would cover more.

Surface area we.

Could just use the fire arrows to set fire.

To trees, right, We wouldn't need necessarily a an accelerant we can shoot, we can shoot fiery arrows at.

Their tents light and trees to camp like, you know, shower their camp with fiery air, right right.

But before that creating.

Lighting trees around them to still kind of create the confusion.

Yeah, OK, cool.

But we're still doing the the circle thing.

Is right.

I don't want to separate too much, so maybe.

Just two groups.

Two groups with blasts of oil.

And we launched them separately from 2 directions I guess into the camp and we try to create fires.

Opportunistically, but the flaming arrows to try to encircle the camp with fire with just with just The Archers mate fire.

Yes, yes, fire, fire.

Thank you for your input, Morris.

Yeah.

Before we before.

We do that.

While we get into position, you deploy the rack.

OK, All right.

Yeah, I gotta focus on.

My familiar.

So no line then, Mort.

I guess no.

Line.

Yes, Mort.

OK, when we were resting.

Oh gosh.

Dang it, we already left the camp, didn't we?

Where we had set the fire?

Yeah.

OK, never mind.

I was going to ask where Mort did his business.

What were you went to the bathroom?

Yeah.

Yeah, I.

Want I want the rat to have.

Some real nasty stuff.

On no, I can just actually.

I can test out the.

Potions on Mr.

Redcap.

I can actually do that instead.

That's the.

Yep, Yep.

OK, administer the poison first.

Please administer the poison.

OK?

All right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We don't need the exploding, right?

There's the, there's the one.

Known and the.

3 unknowns in the in the potions.

OK, yeah, all right.

I'm going to try to explain to Mr.

Redcap the rat, what I want him to.

Do.

He's he's, you're familiar.

So yeah.

You control him, but that's in character.

For for Mrs.

Redkent to do you know I'll.

Excessive.

I'll over communicate to the rat.

What he needs to if they have any barrels of ale.

Or anything dive in there with the poison.

That's poison.

And now I just point.

To the.

Is there a central supply wagon or anything like where they would put their grain or their food or their supplies and their drain?

So ironically or not ironically, I.

Don't know.

It is actually in the center of the camp which you also see.

This 1520 foot tree I believe is a moral tree.

That's right, it has no there's no leaves or anything.

It looks like a big tall tree jump with like some branches sticking out and that bears no, no floral, no leaves on it.

And it's just in the center.

It's pretty thick length of like a human and a half, like of a trunk, if you will, if you laid someone lying down.

It's a it's a big fat tree and it goes up like 1520 feet with a couple branches sticking out.

It looks kind of dead, honestly, like a dead tree.

But it really solidified.

And he recognizes A moral tree because you kind of see them everywhere at this point.

You know, they have like this really nasty SAP that kind of just ooze out of it every once in a while and a lot of people tend to stay away from them as it's just really gross and all their food and waters around.

That most of them, I mean they got some on different.

Sections like you'll see in like in the corners, but a lot of them seems to be in central kind of like they wanted to keep it all in the middle just in case if something happens, they they know where it's at central wise if they have the tags.

Kind of like less offense, like hey, don't make sure nobody gets to it, right?

That's just where that's where Yeah.

And you would.

Have noticed this.

Your first go around with your Mr.

Redcap.

I'll try to send Mr.

Redcap.

In If we're all ready to go, we're ready.

Everything else OK, we're we're.

In position and waiting for.

What team you ever see the movie wanted a?

Long.

Time.

Ago yeah, so I'll just.

I'll send Mr.

Redcap in with the the potion that I know is poison and I don't know how that poison's stored, if it's in like a pouch or something that he can be like a little vial uncork.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's gonna be.

Easy enough for him, OK.

No, actually, it won't be easy.

It could be latched on to bite the cork.

And or break it.

Yeah.

Is he?

Like putting in his mouth.

Does he's carrying in the crust or is he like tied to him like I might do a little?

Take off a little bit of my shawl.

This is red cap shawl.

And just like tie a little string or something.

Little bow, Yeah.

Tie to.

His back on his tail.

Maybe and.

Send him into the central area.

All right?

Nope.

Nope.

OK.

All right.

It's not right.

Give me a stealth.

Check with.

Advantage, now that he is going in it's.

Easy enough for rats.

He have my dexterity.

Or does it?

He would have his own.

His own, usually.

Roll was.

14 Chopper roll was 14.

Hey, Rat is here.

Oh yeah.

They have rat and dire.

Rat.

Oh yeah, good.

Foreshadowed and giant rat.

Yeah, cool.

See, they know got rats to choose from his.

Dexterity is 0.

Oh, 14 all right, 14 that is strange.

You'd.

Think a rat would be a.

Little more dexterous than that.

It's got advantage with this music.

I'm like.

With this music.

I'm imagining the rat running in slow motion is like sad music, that he's gonna die in the suicide mission in slow motion.

Getting there, you know, dropping the vial and then falling on his back.

I'm sorry, into the barrel.

What did you?

What'd you roll?

14 You're right.

Sorry, Mr.

Redcap, making his way with the little vial tied to him squeaking around.

He's doing pretty good.

He does get noticed.

But quickly.

Dismissed that, someone just kind of kicked that in.

He scurries off.

They apparently didn't notice the little tide.

Whatever.

He seems to be just on a mission and they're used to seeing little vermins scatter cross all over the place as rats.

Do.

You make it to the center where you see these barrels all stacked nice and easily.

Some you can see our wine and bead barrels, see some grains and sacks of flour and other like little vegetables here and there.

What would you have, Mr.

Redcap?

Do.

So you'd like to spread the?

Poison, little splotches just around.

Just spread out the poison in small amounts on as much as possible.

All right, give me a do a.

Deck check again.

This is kind of like handling something.

Yeah, that one.

So you climb up.

On this.

Barrel that seems to be kind of half open and he's like trying to bite this off or you're trying to control him the way you wish to as he's trying to.

Bite the the string.

And the poisoning falls in between like the barrel and the bag, and you're just standing there before someone walks by.

And I was like, get out for that meeting.

Throws a rock that Mister Redcap give me a give me another deck strip.

Yeah, yeah, this is all.

This is all red.

1010, yeah.

You barely.

Make it just in time as the rock hits and you just fall down straight and dark, kind of into the bushes nearby, Mr.

Redcap would.

Like to just take a dump in the green hip reaction.

So you're you're.

Kind of off in the bushes.

Right now.

OK.

Do you like to make your way back?

I would say probably wait a couple minutes.

OK.

Yeah, no, there's no rush here.

Yeah.

Give me another dex.

Check with disadvantage because.

Now they're.

They're hip, there's eyes on.

The This rat's doing something weird, yeah.

OK.

Well, now there's more people kind of like.

And then oh.

Yeah.

So that's a 2.

2 for that, Yep, it sees you as I guess.

He throws three rocks get thrown at you.

I need 3 decks checks.

Oh my gosh.

OK.

Or Mr.

Redcap No, this is this is the whole like escalation thing like oh God.

OK, 16 for the 1st, 117 for the next one.

Wow, he's spry.

Like just like.

Mrs.

Redkin.

11 the last one you managed for that last one barely.

As you jump in here, you jump left, you jump right and you dart and it almost hits you and you hear those and you like managed to rush into a tent OK.

How close?

Is Mrs.

Redcap.

It's also red kind of hear footsteps getting.

Closer OK as they see you riding into.

This tent.

OK.

All right.

So how close is Mrs.

Redcap to Mr.

Redcap?

How close?

Yeah.

Let me ask you this way I can tell you why I'm asking.

Is it range?

Yeah.

How far off would you all be?

Well, what's this range?

It's 30 feet for me to cast a.

Spell through my through.

This could be way OK, way past.

That OK, Never mind then.

Yeah, never mind.

I assume you guys are probably about 30.

Feet from the camp, hiding in the bushes from the clearing before you can.

Actually, this is a failed off I'm gonna.

Just Red Camp is just gonna.

I'm gonna approach Mr.

Red.

We'll get to.

That all right so at this point you're.

Gonna have a retreat.

Yeah, yeah.

Just retreat.

Going to actually.

We'll hold off on it.

Meanwhile, everyone else, I take it you're basically just kind of catatonic.

Your eyes go completely white and you all see this, this last time and you know she's doing her thing.

Tobin, what are you doing for this?

I would say this would probably take about, let's say, 50 minutes, 50 minutes for this whole fast go into that.

They got like 50 minutes until OK for the Mr.

Redcap event.

I'll look at Hera, Gertie and Mort, our three Archers friends.

I'll look at Val and Vern.

Mr.

Hera, go with these two.

I'll take the other two small ones.

We'll go around to the other side.

He wants me to go with.

The two elves, Yeah, the two and the two elves.

Okay.

I'm with you lads, Val Vern.

We'll.

We're gonna be in the opposite side.

And then we're gonna proceed here in a few minutes, OK?

We'll get ready to light our fires.

And and throw our jaws.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Just a minute.

What's the What's the signal when your fire starts?

Our fire will.

Start so we're gonna throw the first jars.

If you see the first flaming jars going out, you follow with that, and then The Archers will follow behind.

So we'll throw all of our jaws move.

Back maybe reposition and then fire and fire yeah OK and then we.

Keep moving back and see what's the situation got you and reconvene.

The direction we came from, if things go bad, yeah, OK, and then we'll split our.

Two teams.

Up and get ready to start launching fire bombs so the camp is there, we're going to be an.

Opposite.

Side and see what happens.

All right, I'll take the other.

Halfling in the goblin, Miss Miss Redcap is going to be with you.

Right.

Yeah, because she's.

Already standing there with us, catatonic, so we'll watch her.

All right, so we're going to attack first.

OK, how do we know when?

Shouldn't Miss Redcap come with us then?

Yeah.

So me and you, we each.

Have a jar, Tobin has a jar, and the two Archers with him has jar in the jar.

So there's five jars.

He's right.

Missus Redcap will signal us.

When Mr.

Redcap has the poison in the the ale and then we'll start.

Yeah, she's the first to her take the left.

Well, so then I guess we go to the.

Other side and you stay here with her OK when she tells us if it's failed.

Or succeeded.

We're gonna go all right, we'll go get in position so I'll.

Take two Archers more more in Gertie and.

Gertie.

And we'll start.

Sneaking.

Yeah, it's like Morton.

Mindy Martin.

Gertie Morton, Gertie.

Oh, I got that was that's eight.

I rolled.

I rolled you, made the names you.

Made the names you live with.

But.

We'll, we'll.

Give a a decent berth between US and the camp and circle around to almost the exact opposite side.

Yeah, got you.

Got you all right, Mrs.

Redcap?

No.

They're staying with you, Okay, Yeah.

Vern, Val and the Door.

Para, staying with you until we work.

Great, bring us back to the rat.

I need a dexterity check for your.

Oh dear.

11.

You.

Hear the footprints coming closer and.

You manage to get to the other side of the tent and weasel your way out of a little hole to pop out.

You hear like them open up and they're just frantically looking around and moving like little desk and like hay and stuff and scatter around late night rat business.

And they're running basically to the.

You'd make it.

To like the other side of the outskirts to the other side of the camp, pretty good distraction.

So you'd have to like birth back or tell your guy to come back and then come back.

I mean, I don't know if that's the thing.

Yeah, I don't.

I don't want to tell it to come back towards.

Where I am I don't think I want to do that, but I figure you got to give it a command or.

Something.

Yeah, I'd I'd command it to.

Just circle on the outskirts back to you or just the other end other.

Side or just keep running.

Or just keep running into the.

Woods through it.

Start a new life.

Mr.

Reddy, The Adventures.

Of Mr.

Red Cat.

Without me.

Like, bye.

You know, I'd have it circle back to me.

Just just a big arching circle, you know, stuff that they can't detect outside of their, well, outside of their tents.

Fair enough.

Yeah.

All right.

So.

He's making his way back.

I assume you don't have to, like, control him the entire time for that.

I don't imagine, yeah.

So allow you allow you to basically to come back.

Too, Because you're not controlling, you just basically kind of telepathically saying, hey, do this and then you come back and you can, you know, fulfill it, fulfill it, yes.

So you come too, and you just see Vern, Val and Harrah next to you, and Tobin and.

The other two.

Mort Gertie are nowhere to be found.

Strag.

Cap is going to kind of like.

Wake up like.

Sorry guys, I messed up.

That's okay, the rat thing didn't work.

That's okay.

Just just.

You know, do your.

Best.

All right, Good.

Luck out there.

All right, let's let's.

Let's light it up.

Go ahead and mark that potion out.

Here, if you have it already, I mean, it's still there, but let's see what happens.

I'm gonna take that first jar of.

Cocktail.

Molotov.

The order.

I'm gonna throw one right now.

Yeah, we're gonna start throwing, are we?

Not going to the.

Other side of the container.

We just.

I thought we were going around and Oh yeah, we did.

No, we.

Had a week for Miss Redcap, sorry.

All right, let's go.

You make your way around the other end.

Y'all are just sitting there waiting.

The bandits seem to be just kind of mozing over, so we're in position.

And close to 4:00 AM now, yeah, it'll be about like 4.

O'clock by the time with their.

Travel and they're talking and all that.

And then the little rat skirting rat Recon.

Yeah, and then moving your wide.

Berth it's about.

4:00 in the morning.

All right, Vern, I'm going to throw the 1st.

One, and you'll be after me.

As soon as it lands, you get yours ready and you'll launch it.

That's the signal to do something real quick.

Hold on.

All right, Light.

It up so you and Vern.

Light up your Molotov cocktails.

And throw them.

I need a Dick's check.

Is this going to be a range?

I'll let you do it like a arrow.

So a + 1.

No, you can only do the plus one advantage.

That makes sense, you know, because you know how you attack and you have that plus one with your Ranger ability.

So just AD 20 plus your decks and the plus one as an attack cuz it's the range, yeah.

19 plus that one I guess.

20 You want it 3020 Yeah, I'm sorry, 16.

16.

And I write it backward.

Plus the ones for 17.

Still good.

That just makes it still good.

Great role.

For freaking, that is something landed in the center.

Yellow Rangers with negative decks.

Vern is for some I.

Rolled what I rolled right.

It creates personnel.

But wait.

I said.

I said I'll throw 1.

As soon as it lands, then Vern follow me.

Because we want them to go in sequence.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, it'll still wait, but.

The role is what the role is.

Yeah.

All right.

So that happens.

You see a flaming thing, just fly through it.

Sorry, what did you get, 17?

You see the Molotov?

Go and it hits.

What exactly are you?

I wanted to throw it right in the center, right in the.

Center, like the trees and whatnot, Yeah.

It gets.

Real close to the centre.

And you actually catch a tent nearby that's pretty close to it and it catches the fire.

I needed everyone to roll initiative.

Actually, wait.

I'll let you guys go first for the other thing because this is a planned attack essentially.

One hits pretty Dang close to the centre, one hits kind of the outskirts and just kind of like has a little fire on the side.

Didn't really get too close.

I'm going to have the other guy shoot his arrow and he was just going to light an arrow on fire real quick.

Dirty no era era he was with us.

He.

Essentially.

Lights off of Vern and Val's fire.

He's going to go shoot an arrow that's a 2 and.

He draws.

Short and it just flies like almost worse than what Vern did.

You just see these two little fires just kind of like spewed, Dang.

It you guys see that?

What do you know, We hear the crash of the glass.

We you see a fire burst up.

We hear.

Yeah, we see the fire and.

I look at Gertie and Mort nod, and we toss our molotovs as well.

That's 12345 you all.

That's how you.

Split it up, Yeah.

And then two and us three.

What's?

Good dex checks.

Sweet.

Oh, he hasn't ready.

I've been rolling.

So low all night I.

Guarantee the first Do you need different dice?

We've got Archers.

We've got the 1st.

Cure wounds I attempt.

Tonight, I guarantee you as a fail.

Do you need a different dice?

No, I've got.

I've got.

3D twenties they just all hate.

Me right now.

OK, so you see Gertie.

Throw one and his lens actually hits another tent, but it's like probably the closest tent to you.

Oh dear, You see more just down the line.

Chuck it and it flies on Goblin.

It's like another tent like right where he's aiming towards the further E than the other like other side, because he's just trying to mix it up.

Yeah, that's good.

And it just blazes.

You start to hear panic.

People yell fire, fire, get, get Reeves.

Fire fire.

I need everyone to roll initiative by.

By the way, oh, sorry.

I think it's short.

Yeah, yeah, the goblin out through me.

Oh yeah, that guy.

I rolled an 18.

He.

Was doing like a curling.

Toss too.

He did like a.

Spin sponge out, Yeah.

He's done this before.

Like he was he?

Was looking forward to it.

Yes.

I could, sure.

We need more of Mort.

Yeah, we.

Need an army of Mort and Unleash?

Them on.

The other guys are like, thank God he's on our side.

Right.

He's got a.

Hell of an arm on him.

He's kind.

Of Sketchy, but he has a hell of an arm.

You must consider the Olympics.

Right, all right.

Miss Redcap, what'd you get?

Dirty 20?

OK, Anyone beat a 2016?

OK, All right, Miss.

Redcap, you're.

Rolling good.

Nice.

Keep it going.

How far away is she from?

The the camp.

In general to to the camera, I'll say you're about like 30 feet.

So you can get to it within your movement.

As of right now, you're seeing a bunch of bandits throwing out of the tent.

Are we hidden right?

They don't see us as of right.

Now, yeah, yeah, OK, perfect.

I.

I just.

Undo one of the.

Flasks of acid and just.

Chuck it I guess.

What are you aiming for?

The.

Nearest tent.

That I can, I guess.

All right, give me.

A dex.

I'm not proud of it, but.

I don't have that many range attacks if I don't have ibite anymore.

You have a potion, several different potions.

OK, no idea what they do, but weird.

Stop.

Throw the.

Weird 16.

Total, right?

Yeah, You hit a tent.

And it just.

Yeah, it.

Starts to see smoke boiling and it starts eating away at it, exposing a couple more bandits as you see them pulling their pants up like oh what what is it?

Coming apart, what's going on?

Oh my God.

Everything's on fire.

That brings.

Us to Valra.

I want to call you so blah, so bad.

You we gonna.

I'm gonna.

I'm gonna.

Fire.

A.

Flaming Arrow, All right, just had a random bandit.

Yeah, I'm just gonna fire, keep it, throw a.

Firing it and like just into the camp or?

And in person camp, I mean and.

Into some tents.

I mean, there's some tents in there.

Any barrels?

I want to hit some kind of their settings.

All right, all right, all right.

You mean decoral?

O20 Natural 20.

Yeah, Natural 20.

Nice.

Oh my gosh.

Awesome you.

Hit one of the.

The barrel that you know is full of volatile alcohol and it explodes and catches another tent on fire.

Nice good shot managed to you.

See.

A radius.

I want the radius to get.

Bigger you see 8 bandits run.

Out on fire, screaming, just spread the fire burned to the ground.

And.

Burned it, yes.

All right.

Tobin your.

Go.

So what is the the state of this chaos?

Now is most of the camp on fire is like half of it on fire.

Remember, we hear lots of screams of.

Pain.

Right now you do as.

8 dudes die.

Yeah well four were killed.

Still top of the round stuff because I haven't got to their turn popping off.

Stay, with all the damages you guys have done so far, let's say probably about half of the camps on fire right now, OK?

You have a crossbow too, remember?

Yeah.

That's what a lot of it does seem centered too.

Like in the center towards a tree.

OK, so then yeah, I'm going to pull out one of.

The crossbow bolts we prepped for fire light it and just kind of shoot into the camp, like maybe through some tents trying to light something or hit somebody.

All right, give me a tank roll.

Thanks.

OK, 15 total, 15.

All right, now you're back.

He's back.

Don't jinx me.

Need to roll for damage?

For that one or.

Marking up, yes.

Roll for damage.

Just I just want to see something.

Oh, I didn't write down what a crossbow is.

1D61-D6.

5.

Damage.

You kill three other guys?

Dang, did you?

Hear screams and more chaos up to nice.

Now it takes it.

To afterwards.

I will.

Start my movement in One Direction like further going to the okay.

So each turn making movement.

To try and get back, are you doing a full 30 or yeah full 30 to get?

Internet back to where?

You came from or like the other way.

Back the way I came.

From to circle back eventually to them.

OK, OK, fair enough.

Right, so.

Noted.

Right now it's the bandit's turn and 1st I have to roll.

If we had more oil, that's why.

Wish we could have bought more jars.

We could have launched more, right?

That would have been great telling you.

In the forest, the oil.

That works.

Probably should have launched one of that tree.

You know, we could have used.

Alcohol.

Yeah.

That's right.

We could have bought one Tobin.

'S just thinking about.

This as I'm running alcohol, we could have purchased alcohol.

No.

We were literally saying Molotov cocktails too.

OK, so in this panicked motion.

You are hearing screams and cries and you've seen watching bodies fall.

There are several bodies falling and they're still on fire.

I need perception checks from everybody, which is wisdom.

Oh yeah, wisdom.

Wisdom.

Modifier Wisdom.

OK.

Dirty 1 all right.

Val.

17 plus the one.

Wisdom.

18 Tobin.

5 S.

Val and Vern.

Amongst all this chaos, something brings your eye to the sky.

For a brief second you notice there's a full moon, which kind of gives you the shiver, because it's a full moon and shadow dark.

That's never a good sign, right?

But something else really intense happens.

As the Earth.

Kind of shudders for a second and you see running out of a tent really decked out in a uniform and some plate mail armor.

Maybe it's the leader, you don't know, but then as you're both with your keen Elvin eyes looking at this individual in the midst as he pulls out a long sword and his movements are very chaotic.

But you.

Notice something?

About his armor, that strikes you as very similar as you've seen this armor before.

Maybe not this particular suit of armor, but is very familiar to a knight, yes.

Of Idris, yes.

Urich Urich as you see this figure.

Just start barking orders, do the bandits.

And you can't tell from the distance what he's saying, but you could tell he's trying to delegate.

Yeah, and he's just looking into the woods.

And that's what you catch.

But you 2 are the only ones to see it.

And that brings it to Vern.

Yes, Vern.

They're in a state of.

Panic and they haven't rolled for their perception.

They surprised they haven't seen you guys.

They kind of see the arrows flying so they kind of know the direction and I will say you start to see a bunch of them kind of come to the outskirts of where the arrows are kind of flying They're just looking but they haven't spot G yet.

But it's Verns go.

He rolls A10.

He just lets it fire arrow fly.

Yeah it comes kind of short kind of sticks to the ground not that far doesn't really catch anything on fire.

Let me roll for the other guys.

Gertie shoots an arrow.

Hero.

He kills one of the bandits.

Nice for Gertie.

Yeah, that's his first.

Kill, right?

Yeah, kills one of the bandits.

He's a.

Hero now.

Mort's the real.

Hero Mort kills 2.

Nice three.

Damn.

So all three of The Archers.

End up killing seven collectively all the bandits so we got some top.

Notch Damn man, you guys are ripping through.

They had a point to.

Prove.

You see a bunch of bandits scatter.

And you can even tell that their numbers are dwindled.

Bring this to Red Cap she a lot of things are happening.

I guess she's trying to get away.

Sorry, sorry.

Before we go, I forget this you.

All hear in a thunderous voice.

Show yourself, cowards.

Now you go okay, Mrs.

Redcap.

Is is a coward.

She's not, she's old.

She's not, you know, she's like, yeah, I'm, I'm a coward.

I'm just gonna run away.

And so she starts moving away, I guess, circling back, made-up in the middle.

Yeah.

So meet up in the middle towards, I guess the direction of Wardenwood.

I don't know where it came from.

Yeah, I don't know, wherever.

We came from Yeah, she's gonna.

Start moving that way.

She's gonna cast.

She doesn't have that many ranged options, so she's just gonna cast Shadow Dance.

Nice.

OK, what does that do again?

So.

That's the illusion 1.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

That's right.

And it's within near, I guess.

So she's gonna try to move it.

They're gonna be like 30 feet.

Yeah, she's gonna.

Try to do it as far away.

From the direction that everyone is moving, she's gonna do this illusion over here and she's gonna try to make it look like there's a small dragon over there.

Like, I don't know what Wyvern or whatever that is.

Wyvern.

Wyvern.

Yeah.

She's just going to try to make a little little dragon thing making fires, you know, somewhere else.

Somewhere else.

So that didn't work.

It's a spell check.

OK.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh please.

Make it that's.

Pretty smart.

She fails.

That would have been awesome.

Now all of her spells.

Aren't doing well?

Oh well.

It happens.

That brings us to Valra.

I'm going.

To whisper to Vern about.

What we just saw, you see it too.

Yes, do.

You make it him.

I I can't tell I I want to throw an arrow at him, but what if?

Why would he be with bandits?

I don't.

I don't know.

I don't.

That it doesn't sound like him.

If he's with bandits, why would he attack a peaceful town?

It doesn't make sense.

I don't.

I don't if I can only.

If I can only get closer.

And if it's him, we can actually stop this.

Maybe we should now.

OK, so I'm I'm with you.

Either way, I'm the same.

Suit of armor, it's reminiscent.

Yeah, similar armor.

Yeah, so.

Mrs.

Redcap, keep going the direction you're going and me and Vern and the Arthur are going to get closer and I'm gonna shoot another arrow at some 10, some other stuff while I'm walking down trying to sneak in there trying to get closer.

I'll need to see if it's him.

Are you shooting fire arrows?

Yeah.

Oh yeah, and you're trying to sneak?

Actually, I'm gonna.

Just sneak I'm not gonna I'm gonna gonna shoot a fire arrow so I'm gonna try to stealth and get closer cuz I wanna see him right give me a stealth check I will give advantage because.

There's a lot of chaos going on.

Yeah, First one is 10, second one is.

13 dexterity doesn't give me anything dex.

Plus 0, so 13.

Flat.

You usually make it closer.

Yeah, as of right now.

You can't really tell.

He's he's fully decked out in his armor and it's like the same kind of armor that Urex is wearing.

He's looking around, just barking orders, like looking keenly into the forest where all the arrows are coming out of though.

So I'm going to shoot an.

Arrow, Let's say you're actually, you won't be able.

To do it, I wouldn't be OK, never mind then OK, I'm speaking.

I'm going to hold Spot there and wait for Vern.

OK, Tobin, I'm going to do the same.

Thing as last time.

Light another crossbow bolt, shoot it into the camp if I see dudes in their general direction and then bolt around my 30 feet.

Oh yeah, give me a tackle.

4 You shock your foot, yeah.

You don't fire that one.

Yeah, OK.

Yeah, you shoot into it, it falls.

Short or rips to the forest, you can't tell and you it's mine.

I'm just firing wildly and.

Then running all right brings this to the.

Bandits turn first.

I need to do this.

Oh yeah, OK.

You see them start to scatter.

The bandits, the bandits.

You see about 10 bandits start to scatter out, running towards the woods.

At this point they don't even look like they are trying to fight, they just look like they're trying to flee.

Nice.

And you see the.

Knight, just look.

Around yelling cowards, cowards as an arrow flies by and he's like, whoa.

And then he just drops a sword and puts his hands up.

He's like, all right, you bested me.

As.

Fire just still going around.

That's going to bring us to Vern as he is going to just follow in pursuit with you stealthily and just get closer.

He's probably easier going one way.

He'll kind of, yeah, we're like this.

So kind of like a flank.

We keep when we can see each.

Other but we're like this dude.

Like when you guys haunted together?

Exactly.

The other Archers see what?

You're doing and they follow suit, but like a wider berth behind you guys.

See if he doesn't stuff with a yeah Wow on the nose.

Nice.

He's being stealthy.

But kind of not because.

There's a lot of fire stuff, so he's kind of stepping up, really caring about making noise, but he still manages to.

There's already enough noise.

A lot of.

Chaos this dude so it's.

Not that big of a deal.

Yeah.

All right.

That brings us to this is Redcap.

You see bandits, I will say you.

See a couple bandits.

Sprinting, probably past you whether or not she hears the surrender, I don't think.

She's going to react to it, you know, Remember I told you to keep going the way.

So yeah, she's.

She's going to just keep heading back and.

Try to beeline towards Wardenwood as much as just leaving the order.

It's going to be fair.

Do you?

Do you?

Yeah, Yeah, guys.

She's but she's going.

To like, turn around and like.

Watch other people's backs and she doesn't have that many range attacks without drawing attention to herself.

That is fair.

Oh oh oh, can I reverse time a little bit before she goes?

Can I?

Have her throw the citrus skull.

Well, no.

Did did she hear the guy surrender at all?

The voice would echo out, would echo out.

OK, you would also she'll.

Have the citrus skull.

In her hands.

Ready to throw, but she won't throw it, and she'll keep running.

OK.

Val Roth, you're getting.

Closer you basically make it to the edge of the tent where it's burning.

He's still probably like another full movement if you want to get like face to face with him or like see him in playing with you.

So if you want to make your presence known, I should say.

Yeah, I'm.

Going to.

With my arrow ready, about to shoot fire but I'm gonna walk into him, surrender, drop down on the ground and drop your weapon.

Give me a charisma with advantage.

I mean his people are, he already dropped his.

Weapon.

Yeah, he did already.

Drop as well.

You don't know.

What he's gonna do, he may have.

Multiple Weapons 13.

13 Fair.

He gets on his knees and just looked at you angrily.

And as of right now, I'll say you are all out of combat and I'm going to call out.

Wait wait wait.

I will do 1.

More round, just in case anyone.

Else wants to do anything real quick, but I'm going to call out his name is.

This you or, you know, call him and ask him.

Is this you or Urich?

Right.

Is that your turn?

Yeah, Tobin.

Yeah, so I see the the goblin.

See the bandits fleeing fair and at this point I can kind of see Misses Redcap because we're heading to meet up in the middle there.

Sure, OK.

And she's looking back.

I don't see Valor Verne with her, so I will move over towards Misses Redcap.

What's going on?

Did he surrendered?

Right?

I don't know.

Some rando surrendered.

And I'll just kind of wait.

There with her and watch and see what's going down.

I'll say your guys is you're basically 2.

Movements away to be like into the can we can we see him on his knees though?

Or is he obscured by chaos?

Me, perception, Wisdom.

Give me a wisdom check.

Because that is there's a lot of fire and stuff going on.

Still 12.

There you go.

All right, You barely.

See him?

But you can kind of see, you kind of make a makeshift and you you catch him kind of going down on one knee before you don't see him anymore.

Like the fire moves in the way.

Yeah.

So you see him go down, but it was.

Slow and it doesn't look like it was like a battle or anything.

Does he see me?

No.

Where are Vernon?

Val Redcap.

Where are Vernon Val?

I don't know.

I'm tired.

Let's go home.

Did you get a?

Did you do?

A perception.

It wasn't my.

Turn so.

Oh, OK.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

You're right.

You're right, you're right.

Cool.

Yeah.

So that makes sense then?

Yeah, I'll just stand there waiting for more.

Information that brings it to his turn.

And for this, we are going to be out of combat now, Mort and Gertie.

Yeah, they would fall asleep, but they'll be like kind of behind you.

Because they're kind of watching your back cool doing their job because they're hired for that as far as you know, as far as we know.

Yeah, More.

It's a double agent.

Always.

Goblin I like chaos not.

Just fire.

We made you burn a lot of all the time.

I just.

I just killed 8 of my friends to trick.

You nothing about your race.

I mean if anyone would a.

Goblin would.

Ancestry.

All right.

All that.

Non.

Withstanding Val.

You say these words to it.

He just, he doesn't respond.

He's just honestly, he's with his hands up.

Is is your name Urich?

Or do you know certain Urich?

I have no idea what you're.

Talking about, I have known a knight.

Of Idris by the name of Urich, and he was one of our companion and I am shocked to see the like of you.

With bandits.

He was a noble knight that fought with us bravely through many adventures.

And here you are.

Unless this armor you acquired through thievery doesn't belong to you.

Although I keep company.

With such thievery, I am not the company I keep.

Are you a Knight of Idris?

I am, or are you an imposter?

It is hard.

To come across.

This armor and one doesn't just get it without dire consequence.

Then why have you surrounded yourself by?

Thieves and attacked peaceful town I attacked no town your.

Thugs.

Made several attacks at Wardenwood Town N from here.

I am not their keeper.

So you did.

Not instruct them to do those.

Attacks.

Of course not.

Well, now you know.

That they have been.

Attacking a peaceful town with innocent people or just work in their way and they have been causing nothing but trouble.

Not surprising.

Well.

Where are you heading?

He glances around at.

The flaming wreckage of everything at this point.

My guess is as good as.

Yours as a player like we could take him back with.

Us to Warden Wood, you know, that's what I'm thinking.

Then you will come.

With us to Warden Wood at this point, Vern would obviously be.

With you also, I'm assuming you stood out, your arrows drawn.

Yeah, I'm drawn.

I'm I'm.

I'm aiming at his.

Face, he makes one move.

I'm yeah, Vern would come up a flank.

Obviously not in the right behind you, but like, you know, the Vern and the other arcs because we're not gonna Yeah.

Yeah, so my eyes don't.

Deceive me, but I know there's more of you.

Heroes don't fly from three spots, but then you all just come from the same spot.

Or there is some wizardry amongst 1 of you.

There is more of us.

Well, you've vested.

Me, I have nothing to hide.

Everything I own is.

He looks around.

Being burned to ashes.

Yeah.

You coming up, you will surrender.

The rest of the group could.

Come up, I guess you.

Will you will surrender your sword?

And you will somewhere.

That's the Warden wood.

The sword's already on the ground as you can.

See Talking Very later.

So.

Tobin, what are you doing?

Or Tobin and Redcap?

You realize a few heartbeats have passed you No longer.

It's quieter except for the fires if fires go in.

In any footsteps.

You heard probably running past or in any direction seem to have faded at this point.

I'll look up at Mrs.

Redcap, look back towards the.

Burning wreckage of bandit camp.

Look back at her.

Did that go in there?

I think we should get the heck out of here now.

And she, she's going to, she's going to look for the sword that the night dropped.

Oh, that's in there by them still.

In there, but OK, Are we over there now already or?

Are you guys coming in?

You have to decide.

You guys are still in the.

Outskirts do you want?

To like, yeah, let's let's get in, let's get in.

Get Val and Vern and get out.

Yeah, I'm not.

I mean, I got to.

Know because I got a report back if he's I mean we have our protocols, but I don't see a reason not to just run house right now at least I can maybe confirm if Harris alive or not I'm we I need to shift check the perimeter yes yeah, it's custom of course.

Listen.

They've, they've, they're gone.

It's all dead.

There's no shouting, there's there's no running, there's no.

So let's check it out or create more.

Fire we should.

Burn it.

We should burn it.

All eventually, yes you can.

You can burn it all.

But there's we need our friends first.

So.

So are we?

Are we going?

To check and he pulls out a rash and starts just chomping on it.

We're going to do this.

I need to know for dinner alive.

I can't.

Just run away.

Let's go get our friends.

I'll lead the way.

I'll start stomping.

Back towards the flaming camp.

All right, you all make it around.

And you can.

See at this point Hera, Vern and Val arrows drawn on this knight who you assume is the Knight of Idris wearing this same armor that looks shockingly like a friend of yours.

So seeing this, Tobin will.

Jog up a little bit, looking at the four of them and looks at the Knight of Idris.

So there's the rest of them.

That's not you some.

Of them, who are you?

Who?

Are you all?

You lost who?

Are you hear the tension of the arrows of Polish?

Answer.

The third question I am Grieves Redthorne.

A Knight of Aegis, yes, obviously.

He's on a special mission to infiltrate this camp to do what once you had.

Honestly, I was hoping they would.

Lead me to some friends of mine where we'd probably turn and slaughter them all.

Yeah, honestly, that's about it.

Oh wow.

I think we need to check out.

Your story in a in an orb of truthiness.

What's it called?

Quick question out of the.

Which direction you Rick was going?

Remember when we left him, he was headed E further E he was heading east.

OK.

So, Missus Rodcap.

Is going to try to take his.

Sword from the ground she's like cautiously walk up, easily done.

You pick up a sword.

It's a long.

Sword, she's going to go walk over to Mort.

Mort, you surprised that I'm going to?

Trust you with this sword?

Yeah, you.

Oh well, just some.

Mighty looking fine weapon, yes Oh, did you for me?

It doesn't have two key.

You're a.

Goblin and.

Oh.

Yeah, wait, what?

Surprised.

I'm sorry I had to intervene.

There, once you give him that.

I'll look at him and say you hold the sword, but not to keep that.

Yeah.

That was clever.

Fine.

I'll hold the.

Sword.

OK, so you won't.

You won't be surprised.

If anyone tries to take it from you who isn't us, of course not.

OK, so you sleep with this you.

Guard this OK?

It could be important later on.

OK, OK.

You got one job.

To do Mort.

Fire.

No.

Guard the storm.

Yes, yes, he seemed digging in his pocket.

So grieves.

So you were just.

Going to kill the bandits.

Anyway, yes, why wouldn't I?

They're bandits.

OK, well.

That's what we.

Wanted your your you guys did a good job.

So yeah.

You're our friend, Urich.

Who was the Knight of Idris?

He was also looking for his kind, and when he parted, when we parted ways, he had it.

E Yeah, I.

Can't.

Say I've seen any other night of Yeager's come this way, maybe he avoided, which I don't blame him.

There's a whole bunch of bandits if you haven't noticed around.

Yeah, he did.

Had it E wise too.

And that was not long ago.

How long was this been?

Like a couple of weeks I.

Guess right?

Actually, yeah, at this point.

Yeah, week actually.

It was about a week.

It was about a week, Yeah.

It felt like you're almost almost one week.

Well, that was actually, it would be a week.

That was a.

Week ago.

A week, he ventured with.

Us and.

We.

Did some things together and he was with us in our town and then he decided to leave to find his kind, something he had to do and we had received a report.

That more nights had been seen to the east.

To the east, you say?

Mayhaps.

I'm in the wrong direction?

Then you are in the wrong direction, especially.

Dealing with bandits, but.

Good to know.

Well.

What will you have of me?

I assume our business is done here.

And just going to leave.

There is no leave me in.

Ruined with this and he looks around as fires are still bellowing.

At this point, I think we should take him to Wardenwood.

And debrief you will come with us to Warden Wood and.

Then.

Afterwards, now you know the real your direction E sure I mean.

What else do I have to lose?

May I stand?

At least being on my knees is pretty, thank you.

And he stands up.

Spoke late.

Well, this warden wood a tell where to be.

Maybe I can get some provisions before they all burn to death or up or anything.

Wouldn't do that.

A rat poisoned them all.

Yeah, you will get provisions with us.

A warden with Clever, yeah.

I'm gonna look at Mort.

OK, Mort.

We're about to head out and this is your chance to finish burning this place down finally.

Yes, yes, yes, to guard the.

Sword.

Yeah, we're gonna.

We're gonna.

Level this thing up.

Suddenly the earth shakes a little bit.

More.

Let's get out of here.

We should probably get out of here, right?

Now wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, I mean.

How do we know?

Out there, is it more dangerous?

I mean, there is a lot of fire here.

I mean.

We can put out the fires real quick.

And there's still enough makeshift stuff.

And like I'm, I'm saying, there's a lot of supplies here.

We're just going to leave and it's could come back.

They could rally.

We don't know what they're going to do later.

He looks around the other body.

He's like, well, you killed the.

Majority of them good.

We're still outnumbered.

Technically, I think.

Well, I mean with my.

Sword in hand, let's see, it's 123.

We don't trust you that much for that 6/7.

We're actually probably about.

Even at this point and seeing.

How you all?

Without even being seen.

Happen to?

Slaughter them unless you all are frail.

We could probably just finish them off.

I do see the wisdom.

Of what you're saying.

But we will not camp in this camp.

We're going to step out well before we put, I mean, I.

Mean obviously we had like camp here everything's on fire granted the.

Light.

Would probably, you know, ward off the shadows.

I don't know if you've seen near the.

Fire.

Then near the fire.

Yeah, All right.

You you understand.

You will be closely watched.

Now, if we need to know, we can trust you.

No offense to you, but I saw you.

Shouting orders the bandits we seem to kind of leader lay my part I'm surrounded by.

Bandits.

I am outnumbered, but you could also be playing your part, right?

Now, so we're going to watch you with what army you may not need one.

You know, that's actually fair.

That's exactly, Yeah.

However the however the case.

That we we will need to camp.

And.

Yes, the the shadow out is seems dangerous and I've been I've been sensing things At this point you notice the trees starting to.

Crack all the way up.

Parts of the bark just start to fly out.

Which tree?

The tree in the middle was right next to you all as you all are basically in the center of the freaking camp.

We should run.

Yeah.

Let's move the whole.

Thing explodes.

You see?

This Wolf Polkish thing.

Bust out just screeches.

It is Bony.

Jaw so many muscles with.

Razor.

Blade bones and just all this black goo hanging from its teeth in ma and like off of its bones and just crawl.

And then she just.

Rips out from this.

Tree trunk as a spout.

10, maybe 12.

Feet tall.

Pops out of it, looks at y'all and at this immediately grieves.

Yes, unlock Feast.

Feast on the.

Flesh that provided you as he backs off, starts ripping off his armor and you see all these glowing symbols on him.

I need everybody to roll initially.

Oh my.

God, I will say you guys did well with the bandits.

You guys did really well with the bandits.

That may or may not help and or hurt you, but we'll see that don't have up.

We should have left and started.

Sitting there talking, he was stalling for a reason and I did.

A round check.

All right.

I'm going to shoot him in the.

Face we had just.

Waited.

We had just.

Waited.

That would have killed the bandits.

Yeah, you're right.

And he would have.

Feasted because there would.

Be a lot, which means we'd have a bigger problem anyway.

Which we still have as a giant problem.

He would be far away from it.

Yeah, at that point.

We can watch it from far away.

Feast while we take off, right?

We, we can do this.

We.

Can fight a 12 foot tall demon werewolf.

We're gonna scatter and run.

Oh, wait.

I have silver arrow.

We all have silver laced weapons now too.

Yeah, our Archers don't.

They can, but they.

Can shoot, fire, whatever they improvise, we're at the distract.

Possibly fake Knight of Easter.

Yes, I'm glad I stayed this arrow.

All right, Miss Berrycraft, what'd you get?

Dirty 20.

Dirty 20.

All right, 1616.

Tobin 1010 missed Redcap you are throw one of the bias so.

This.

Night of.

I should just use the name Red Thorn.

Yeah.

He's taking off his armor.

Yeah.

What do I see from that?

Like, what are the symbols there?

So it's a bunch of swirls red.

Swirls just all around as they seem to glow.

Now you see as he takes his helmet off he's a human with dark short hair.

How like a maybe like 1/2 beard, brownish eyes, fairly muscular.

But he's wrapped around in this red and you see the red glow and it almost looks like it kind of silhouettes armor.

Like even his face kind of glows and it kind of takes the form of the armor he was just having on, but just like tattooed form.

And it kind of gives us weird aura around him that kind of just kind of shimmers almost translucent off of him, like almost like an illusion, almost just kind of like vibing off of him.

But you see the swirls before that happens light up like he's tattooed.

And then it just kind of forms, like he's wearing magic armor with that Violet well.

It's a flask of.

Acid.

And it's not a no, you're.

Threw the flask of acid.

Well, I I have two.

I still have two.

I never.

Search but I don't if it's magic I don't know yet what works and what doesn't Yeah 3 mysteries so I think she's she's.

Gonna.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

Yeah, you're right.

You're right now.

Yeah.

Let me try to throw the the citrus skull thing.

Citrus Skull potion.

Yeah.

And who are you telling?

This at.

The magic.

Red Thorn, I'll throw it at Red Thorn instead of the wolf.

OK, so you're trying to throw it like open?

Throw and make sure it gets on him or whatever.

OK give me Dick.

Dick.

OK, 13 all.

Right.

Well, you hit him.

And he's encoded.

Does it do anything you doesn't?

Help him do something.

Like I don't know what it does.

He's no immune to all.

Damage.

Oh God.

I will walk.

To you, Mr.

Edgar.

I'll punch you in.

The right before we die you're making.

It worse this.

It's gotten so much more.

Interesting.

Oh my God.

Oh no.

Oh man.

OK, so you seem coated.

Coated.

In what I say they.

Look like the red green stuff so the green fumes fast rate him and he just kind of what is this wretched and that's all you just see like his eyes kind of glow and that's all you could see and you kind of cost and waves it off That's going to bring it to his turn switching rotation keeping it all right he we are so.

Bone.

I don't know.

Oh gosh.

I hope I didn't.

Help him with that.

His eyes are glowing.

What does that mean?

Means.

He's stronger.

He's going to.

Move around.

Yeah, move back and.

He is going to dart into a nearby 10, probably like another 10 feet, but as he runs off, he's like feast, feast.

They're all just food.

For you.

They're the ones left.

Kill them, eat them, feast and he's going to he where you see him dart into like half burnt still on fire tent and yeah, that's how I see him do that.

Takes it to its turn.

This giant monstrosity of a creature, right?

He's going to take burn.

Yeah, that hits Vern, gets hit of a claw attack as this creature just swipes out of Vern for 9 points of damage.

Rips him down completely.

Oh, no, yeah.

Vern drops and he's going.

To turn to Val with his other claw attack 10 take your AC what is your AC by the way 1111 you barely he barely misses you managed to jump right out of the way in the nick of time, but then he also burn go down burn go down yeah he got.

One shotted OK.

Literally for like all this HP, he's at zero.

I need to get one of those arrows.

Into him before he kills.

We need to, Yeah, we need.

He's.

Also going to SAP, which is another tech actually at you, Val, that's an 8 that's not going to hit.

He shoots out with his hand.

He basically swipes at Vern.

He hits him with one and turns and swipes at you and you jump right out of the way and then he just opens his mouth and this black SAP just shoots out of his ma straight at you and you duck and it flies over you and you see it just attached to like some barrels and part of a just gooey black sticky thing that just kind of coats down on this tent like a wolf and a tree like.

He's like a Bony, but he's muscular like.

A very scrawny, muscular but like jagged bones at the same time.

Just all out.

And he's got like a wolfish Hulk head.

And he's like, when I say like, 1012 feet tall.

Yeah, Yeah.

So he's a tall monstrosity.

His eyes look like wolves and they're like red with like just this black goo tar stuff is just all over its body, just kind of dripping down patchy fur with patchy fur, Yeah.

With bones it looks like.

It looks like a a weird, it looks like a werewolf ahead mange basically.

But like boning like sharp, razor sharp bones still jacked.

It's still like, yeah, lean and muscular somehow.

All right, that brings it to all the other MPCS.

So Verne.

'S gone so that.

That Gertie's just going to shoot an arrow at it, which hits you see an arrow get thrunk into it, phone, it breaks it off, hair shoots, who hits, and then Mort is freaked out.

And he missed 2.

Arrows thinking, thinking this thing and just ripped it off and just crowds Mort skidders and shoots and arrows freaked out.

They all back up about like probably 20 feet at least as they are also freaked out, kind of like fanned out a little bit because they're they're they're Archers, man.

They're they're going to, you know, flank out.

They're not going to stick close to you.

You don't have two Archers ready.

That's fireball range, bro.

Come on.

I don't know how, how panicked.

Dirt.

Dirt Mort Mort was.

Well.

I mean, I wrote really low on his, but those two?

Seem to hit him, so I mean, there's that.

Nice.

All right, right, that takes.

Us to Tobin.

Of course it does.

Oh dear.

Well, I am going to pause for a second or two looking up at this giant creature and just reflexively grab my holy symbol and cast protection from evil on myself.

All right, Belcheck.

Nice.

Yeah, 16 so I.

Succeed.

So I haven't done that one successfully in a while.

That that protects from demons.

That's right that I think it's chaotic creatures.

In general, focus duration for the spells duration.

Chaotic beings have disadvantage on attack roles and hostile spell casting checks against the target.

These beings also can't possess, compel, or beguile it.

So if he attacks me, he's got disadvantage.

OK, so I'm going to wordlessly, because inside I am shaking with terror.

Tobin's going to brandish his feeling the spell take effect.

He's going to brandish his Mason shield and just slowly walk up to it and stand in front of this thing.

And that's my turn.

All right, Val Roth, it is your goal.

You just saw your friend get one shotted, no?

Burn The Archers so it looks.

Like the creature did take damage from the arrows I'm going to circle around him.

And I cast the four bane and also shoot an arrow at him.

I mean it gives me advantage on attack.

I would say the herbal remedy stuff.

Would be an action.

No, no, no, it's not not remedy.

No.

Well, it's under herbal remedies.

All those the salve, stimulant, forbane, restorative and curative would be an action that you choose to administrate would be used because.

Like you that.

Takes time to correct.

I will.

I'm going to give.

I'm going to throw in a silver arrow at him and I'm going to get a + 1 to attack and damage with the range to weapon.

All right, give it a tack, Bro 6.

Total I mean plus the 1/7.

Why you run over and you're still?

Panicked and freaked about Vern going down bleeding.

Oh, I forgot to do what?

No, not until it's time and you shoot an arrow as you're freaked out and it just flies to the side.

Pass.

I mean, he doesn't even he doesn't even bother with you.

That takes us to miss Redcap.

Redcap is going to try to use.

For healing potion on you, OK, she's gonna run over there.

It's just within her movement.

She's gonna try to heal him for one D4.

She need to What does she need to roll for that?

Just the D4 as the.

If you're mainstreaming A potion, that's just your action.

Yeah, if you're given a potion, I would say as a bonus action you could take take it.

But if you're administering A potion, because you gotta take time open it and like, you know, yeah, then just give me.

The D4 OK.

Two OK.

Yeah, it's better than one.

The inventory, I'm just running through all my inventory.

Get all the open gear slots now.

He gasps, eyes open.

Like get back, get back.

Oh God.

Yeah.

All right.

All right, that brings it.

To their turn, Greaves Red Thorn pops up.

We're brandishing another long sword and he's going to attack you, Val.

You're right there, jerk.

For a natural one Trips.

At him, in his face.

Scoward backstabber, you are not the knight.

Of address, he basically popped out of this tent with a.

Sword like kill them all and he swipes.

Coming down and.

You turn to the side and you see it and you just kind of jump to the side right before his sword just splashes down where your shoulder would be and he just hits the ground and he just like looks at you and just growls like you will die to under.

Clock now, he revealed.

Himself and he's next to him.

I'm going to.

Shoot him in the face brings it to the beast's.

Turn open and he's going to.

Attack Tobin.

He's going to.

Vanish.

He has disadvantage on me, yeah.

Is it because of the protection under Glock or under Glock?

Under luck Under luck.

OK, I just I just wrote down under Glock.

Wow.

Well, no, it's got disadvantage any but you are.

Right there.

UNDULUK, what's this intelligence you?

Know that's true.

Yeah, actually he would.

Know so it's gonna turn in who are these two next to it so I'm is that over and burn.

And Mrs.

Redcap.

Yeah, I walked up in front of it.

Like trying to get it to look at me.

I am small though.

G Cast a spell a little 3.

Foot 4 shivering.

Form standing there looking up at me, but I look like an appetizer.

It's going to.

Yeah, it's going.

To attack me, Tobin.

That was a 2:17 and 2:00.

So it misses you, but then as it slashes, it's going to also just skirt to the side and hit where Val is for 19.

That hit and I'm dead.

It was nice.

Playing with you guys you get a roll below damage 5.

Flashing damage.

As you all.

Right.

And then it's going to turn a few and spew.

Still disadvantage.

Still disadvantage.

20 Dirty 20.

I rolled a natural 20 and an 18.

Tim.

Yeah, that hits.

So you take.

Three points of SAP damage and I need you to roll a dex check.

Gotcha as this hot.

Broiling.

SAP hits you and burns you for three points of damage.

Dirty one, Dirty 1.

And you?

Are stuck until your next turn, do a check until you get escaped.

You're covered in this black tarry SAP and it burning you and you feeling movement like you can't move.

Dang, that's going to bring it.

To I'm going.

To Winston pain at the the.

Burning SAP.

Spit some of it out, screw you and whack it since it's still right there in front of me.

Yeah, He doesn't have to move to a second.

Yeah.

That's true, yeah, with my silver.

Lace Mace, yeah.

Freaking werewolf.

13 to hit.

That hits.

Come on, baby dice.

66 points.

Yep, you strike it.

And.

It takes that hit, and it's graciously so this over work.

And then I have to.

Hold my ground because I.

Am stuck with SAP.

All right, that takes us to Valroth.

I'm going to shoot that guy in front of me.

In the face, all right.

Red thorn blank.

Oh yeah, Red thorn.

Yeah, point blank in the face.

I would say if you're shooting.

It that would be with disadvantage, then I'm gonna hit him with my sword.

I don't want any of.

This because it's like pulling an air right here in front of I'm.

Gonna hit him with Yeah, well.

He's I'm gonna.

Hit him with my nice.

Fancy.

Sword I got plus one of mine.

Plus one for all the rust, right?

Yeah.

He's gonna take.

14.

+2 that's 16 that hits give me damage.

7:00 Nice.

You.

Carve.

Through him.

And he hits the tree.

You just basically just.

I hate that guy so much.

It's like.

Under luck will prevail.

Get them, kill them all.

As he drops to the ground.

And shut this faction guy.

Hey I made this.

Guy.

A while back.

And he only I rolled hit points from him.

He had two hit points he had.

He had.

High he had high AC and he.

Literally beat him by 1.

He had like a 15 and you beat him literally by one.

Those two, the +2 and the.

Plus the plus one and the plus one.

I rolled his stats and they just did not come.

Oh.

My gosh, I put him in the back burner forever.

You don't understand how much this feels so.

Good because I was being nice to him and then he turns to be a jerk.

I hated him.

So all intensive purposes, when it was my turn, I was going to decide to go around the beast or run to the tent and find him.

I had to wait, and then I had to stop myself and see if I can make a wise decision and affect the beast.

I almost went after him.

That's how much I hate him.

The bars over here fighting out, Yeah.

I'm fighting, fighting out of the spirit of slum.

Bars fighting out of.

Feelings.

Enrages.

I made.

I made the conscious decisions.

To benefit the crew fighting the dangerous committee?

Well, you slain Grieves.

Red Thorn, but that's one less guy GM.

I'm still curious.

Our character's lies are in danger.

But what did the citrus skull thing do to the guy who's.

I mean, yeah, he's dead now.

So.

He oh, wait, does that change?

That does change.

Hold up.

Yeah.

Why did you bring it up?

No, no, no, no.

No, no.

I.

Will keep this but a roll roll again if you get lower Yeah, I know because this is this is important.

This is important.

Sorry that I have to No, I have to nowhere.

That's what you good it.

It misses in order.

It happened that.

Way in order, yeah, you're.

Right.

Thank you, Zach, for effing your players.

15 on the total.

Yeah, on the.

Total your sister still have it so basically why you would.

You would get a disadvantage.

Reason being because that potion gave him mind reading for an hour so he can see your moves.

He would be able to read your thoughts like.

I'm.

Going to swing up and down so he could like counter but not.

But you managed to do a swift, fast move.

He could tell, but you're just faster.

And you do manage to slice them down because again, he did.

My God.

Yeah, yeah.

Lucky.

Almost.

Had a heart attack right now.

That.

Would have been hilarious.

Thank.

You for.

Life.

That's.

It Mr.

Redcap next time I'm going to.

Kick you off a Cliff.

That was a rain cap.

That was Zach.

OK.

That that is fair.

I wouldn't answer no.

Let's go on the Yeah.

I'm so glad you.

Yeah.

Yeah, I totally forgot that you didn't use the other fly.

OK.

Miss Red cap straight.

Cap wants to.

Stab the Ware.

Tree Wolf Tree with under lock wants to stab under lock with their silver coated dagger.

Oh yeah, the spray, huh?

Yeah.

Give an attacker.

12 to hit the strength or is it?

Is it?

Dex or is it?

Strength for melee, Strength for melee.

OK, it's just.

11 then.

It's.

11 Yeah, you swipe.

And you miss barely.

Shucks, that's my go.

All right, that brings us to.

Vern is going to back up his full moment because he is wrecked and then he's going to let Arrow fly.

Is he using silver arrows?

He's just using.

Arrows.

He saw the other ones work.

So he's in a panic motion that is so dumb because that just makes it a straight roll.

He's got a plus to his decks.

But then he's got.

A minus to his deck.

So it's just yeah, so that's some NPC stuff right there.

He shoots, he's still like still cobbling as he's kind of backing up and he shoots wide.

Wait, he he has the same?

Me plus one and plus he has a -1 to his decks.

But he's got a + 1 to his attack so it negates.

That's a straight rule.

The other Archers are going to shoot that misses or Gertu.

Gertie misses.

Wait yeah Hera hits.

Mort is mortified and just shooting wild and it's just not not rare mortified.

Yeah, I had to.

That there go.

And it goes.

To his turn and you 2 are right in front of him so he's going to attack.

Yes, Tobin with disadvantage.

I don't think I could.

Do worse than that 4:00 to 5:00 so yeah yeah even when this bonus is I could hit this one attack is gonna hit red cap cuz you're right there it's a natural 20 Ouch indeed at.

Least.

You're right next to me.

You don't have pure.

You could do.

You could.

Have I do I haven't cast.

It at all today, but it it.

Didn't recover from the day.

Before the day before, it was still good.

OK, this whole session saved it.

This whole session had not.

Attempted you you could have.

Thrown your silver?

Dagger at him.

Yeah, it's better to throw.

I have better skills at.

Throwing than definition to realize 7 points of slashing damage.

Mrs.

Redcap is down.

And it does have ASAP, but you're already.

Well it does get damage off of that.

So he's going to SAP resap me it all.

I mean it's he's going to goat me with even.

More SAP.

It's really just because of the damage you.

Still get the same DC, but it's a disadvantage, right?

Still disadvantage still because it's how many rounds it's.

Focus.

Interesting they got to make focus check.

Is that how focuses work you?

Gotta make a check every round if you take damage.

But if you fail your.

Focus.

You don't.

Lose that spell, you just lose the duration that's currently.

On OK, that's fine.

Just to hit me first.

That's 7.

So it just.

Fuse wildly you gotta just like slash slash and it goes over your head because you're short Yep 3 foot four that brings it to you open I'm gonna.

You get to do a check.

Well, you got to do 2 checks.

You got to do or growling anyway.

15 decks.

To see if you're still stuck.

DC-15 decks?

Yep.

To see if you're unstuck, rolled a 19.

So you're no longer.

Stuck.

I'm no longer stuck.

And to see if you're spell the focus.

The focus spell my spell drops.

You can.

Still cast it, but.

Right.

It just dropped it.

He no longer has disadvantage.

On me, unless I cast it again.

But I'm going to growl up at him and then I'm going to turn and.

Place.

A hand on Missus Redcap and cast Cure Wounds.

Just one short.

No, it's.

It's more than one short.

It's OK so.

I fail my cure wound spell.

Rolled a 6 + 3 for a nine, needed eleven or more.

Well, you do have movement.

I'm not moving, I'm going.

To stand right next to Missus.

I'm going to step between Missus Redcap's body and the giant tree werewolf and just hold my ground, glaring up at him.

That's my turn, all right?

Takes us to Val, all right.

Another silver arrow towards.

This guy, Let's hope we make it this time.

Silver Arrow Tiragnus, do not disappoint me.

I need disappoint.

But you get.

9.

Oh, wait.

910-1111 that unfortunately misses Yeah, move me.

One step back.

All right, step a little bit further back.

All right, Miss Redcap, I need you to roll your death rounds D4, right, D4 and.

Then you'll start rolling next 4.

OK, Yeah, yeah, 4 rounds.

To get a natural.

20 or someone stabilizing it.

All right, that's going to bring it to its turn.

It is going to SAP you again, yes, no disadvantage.

Seven misses.

It's going to.

Swing 12.

Misses.

Whoa, got that, Mitchell?

Yeah.

Feeling braver.

He's got that Mitchell on his.

Chest.

Going to move that way.

To how many full movement it's got same as everybody 30 Who is that that one Gertie Val or?

Sorry, Vern's going to return the favor.

Run up to miss Redcap if he can, he's going to try to stabilize Shadow Dark.

My God this is brutal.

People can die.

This is brutal.

Usually die.

It's amazing that we live this long, I know.

It's a 15 come.

On Vern.

Burns kind of an idiot.

I am too.

Let's see what happens.

Cross your fingers.

74-A6.

Yeah, he tried.

He's like he giving you CPR, pumping on your chest.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

There's also a lot of.

Tents on fire around us, such a giant werewolf.

Everyone in full panic mode.

Gertie is one right up till right.

He's going to swing his short sword.

Oh wait.

Oh man, that sucks.

That still hits though.

Yeah, OK, It hits just full 6.

Nice one's going to let an arrow fly.

Out of the door.

Barely hits, takes another point of damage.

Nice Mort.

By Mort, you've been sucking.

All night except.

For his throat.

Yeah, he gets his some courage and finally hits one yes or two points.

Good job, Mort.

Yeah, they all take their turn.

And now?

Tobin.

'S turn.

Sorry.

Yeah, now it's me.

Yeah, so.

Going to turn around the Vern giving the breath of life to Mrs.

You are still unconscious.

But you are stay on the ground, don't do anything.

Come on, stay with us man, I got flashed.

Vials, they might come into play, so they might backfire too, yeah.

You're right, actually.

You know what?

Never mind.

Yeah, seeing, seeing her at.

Least breathing again.

I'm going to then full movement run towards the werewolf tree.

Werewolf tree.

The tree.

Underlook.

The Roundelook.

That brings us to Val.

All right, so move me to.

Where Mrs.

Redcap is laying down and I'm going to throw another silver arrow at him.

Give me integral.

Come on.

Land one.

Yes, 19 plus the two.

But alive, yeah.

You don't have to roll for that.

Pointy.

It brings it to his turn.

It's going to.

Swipe dirty the youngest that.

Hits, you see it, Swipe Gertie and takes.

A huge chunk out of him.

He's still up.

He's still up.

Poor girl, he's going to.

And then he's going.

To SAP the other guy, Mort Mort.

That's it's turn that takes us to NPCSNP.

C Burns going to be an arrow he misses.

Gertie's down here.

The attack rolled off 4.

That's not going to hit Mort rolled off 4.

So they just they're they're freaking out and arrows are flying everywhere and they're not hitting Tobin.

You're up.

Hit sweet.

Give me that damage.

He is looking rough.

Yes, really rough.

As you're gassing out, you're seeing all this black goo just spewing out of him and he just screeches more in rage.

Remember Me?

As I whack him in the back of the knee, yeah, this thing is.

To Val another.

Silvery can you?

Move me a little bit towards you.

Sack him with another arrow.

Let's see.

Come on, Aragnus, give me some blessings of Gheed.

Blessings of Gheed.

Get the.

Shoot out of here.

It was soon it.

Was all Soon it's one 2.

So that's the third.

It's a.

Net.

1.

Shoot wide and it flies.

Over as it's kind of.

Hunched over through all the attacks between the other arrows and Tobin slashing it, it kind of curls over for a second and you see it taking some real damage.

And right then you let your arrow fly, aiming at its head.

But because it just conched over, the arrow flies far deep into the forest.

I wasn't hoping to kill him with.

It it was Jim's fault.

Yeah, yeah.

Like God.

Yeah.

Takes us to miss.

Redcap Knees.

Just coming off her head.

Yeah, the tracks.

We have to wake her up.

Right.

Yeah, yeah, the.

Real Say you're still unconscious.

But I have a potion over here Lance, but.

Just says they're still unconscious until.

You probably have to actually give them an HP out of combat or yeah or.

It'll say a minister because it.

Doesn't say you gain an HP, it just says you're stabilized.

I got dying, I got to go to her, so someone's got to deal her all.

Right either way.

It's it's turn, you see this hulking creature pick up this little halfling Gertie and open its maw wider than it should and just throws it in and eats it.

Oh my God, holy.

He just ate Gertie.

No, Gertie, I don't.

Think you're going to be able to stabilize?

Him, yeah, unless you reach inside the.

Stomach immediately you start to see some.

Of its wounds peel up.

Oh no.

When it does though, and that's.

It's go that's going to take it to the other empty seas.

Vern is going to whack him again.

8 Gertie.

Vern.

Is going to actually treasure with Sal?

My 11 intelligent Yeah, just like gaining health by.

Eating.

The Natural 20 Miss Bread camp you.

Gained one HP and you are now conscious.

Either of them.

Mort, Yeah.

He's going to move.

Back yeah, you got to move him he freaked out he.

Shoots, you know.

Panic and yeah, no hair is going to stay.

Yeah, that's everybody's going.

Brings us to Tobin.

I just watched this thing eat.

One of my kind.

So I stopped for a second.

Oh my God.

And then I'm going to whack it again.

Get in sacral and I miss.

This time because I'm terrified.

With a six to hit and that's my turn.

You're gonna move or stay?

Nope, I'm staying right there.

Val.

I saw.

That thing eats and rejuvenates and my panic double S because I don't want it to rejuvenate.

No, and I launched another.

Silvery arrow.

Aiming for his head.

So.

10 Thank you.

You managed to knock it back down when?

It healed the back looking pretty bad.

You let go of this arrow and it hits the baggage toner screech.

The screech and roar.

Into that void that is the Shadow Dark Woods that you're currently in.

No, he doesn't have anything else to eat.

Takes us to Miss Redcap.

You are back at.

One HP, you see chaos flown upon you.

I still see the monster you do, definitely.

See the monster you see your friends still just.

It looks pretty rough.

I will say that she's going to step one movement.

Towards like 1 space towards them under lock and she's going to be like Shawn wants me to throw it and she's going to throw her dagger Adam under lock all right range attack that were.

So it's.

Swinging at you Tobin 13 miss 2 answers off my shield.

That's a 3S even worse, and then it's gonna.

Try to stab you 12 miss.

Hey man, nice little step.

Freaking little armor.

He's right up next to him so it's hard to aim.

He's 12 foot tall and three foot tall I'm.

Bobbing and weaving.

Yeah, he's like swiping at.

You and you're ducking and dodging, then going between these legs and then just spitting on the ground, just vomiting the SAP and you're just kind of bouncing around.

That's it's go that brings it to the other NPC's.

Bird is going to shoot into battle.

It's an 18 a hit.

He hits them for three points of damage.

Does he let an arrow fly the the other ones can do?

That's a three.

So Hera, still shaking up Mort, hits it for 19.

Finally, Mort hits something before.

But, you know, not that great.

Two points.

Not bad man.

He's doing weak damage though.

Better than nothing under luck.

Looks horrible.

Brings it to Tobin, so Bob and I'm weaving run.

Run through his.

Legs because.

He's he's trying to swipe at me and he's spitting down at the ground and he misses with me with a step and just as I run by I just swing over my head and trying to hit him in the sack.

16 to hit yes in the.

Sack roll damage.

One in the stack.

The Tobin maneuver one damage.

Silver.

In utter horror.

But.

It's surprisingly still up and that's it.

I'm I'm staying right by.

It I'm gonna hold my ground, bring us to OK.

Val Let's see if this is the.

Final shot, take another shot at this beast.

Please do that 10.

I mean 11-11 to hit.

Yeah, that unfortunately.

Misses.

That's it it.

Reels down when it gets.

Hit.

In the nether region and your arrow flies right past its shoulder and just out into the woods.

Missed Redcap.

Redcap is going to run up to it with her last.

Dagger.

This is the full sober dagger.

Yeah, that's it.

And.

She's going to try to.

Stab it.

Gosh, 5 to hit.

Got another time one of the MPCS.

Better kill this.

Yeah, we just keep missing on it on this.

Last hit, oh wow, I I sucked that turn oh.

My God.

And that's two things that it's going to.

Turn, it's going to hit a Tobin, that's 20 to hit that hits five points.

Gotcha of slashing.

Damage I look rough bleeding still I.

Am up, going to attack you again.

More natural one nice, and then it's going.

To SAP.

You hit it in it's nether region 13 miss lucky.

Stay.

Alive he was.

He was still reeling from the.

Stomach pain.

The following swipe is like he's holding his nether.

Region and he swipes 1 and switches and swipes and starts spewing out black stuff just in pain, holding it, holding his nether region again.

More like uncontrollable vomit at that point.

Brings us to Vern.

That's not going to hit 7.

One of the six of us should be able.

To hit it, Gert no Gertie's did Hara natural.

20 Nice.

Thank you, Hara.

And I don't even have to roll because he has one.

HP level, so he shoots an arrow.

And it.

Finally hits straight through the throat and you see it just gagged this before it hits the ground and all this black SAP just starts like melting parts of it and it's just like smoke even coming out of it.

Congratulations, you don't look.

Underlook.

Underlook which?

Is a Morrow fiend.

Nice my God, by the I'll get.

Into that later.

Now we need to cut him.

Open and see if we can save the other dude because the beast balls in a.

Rage.

Tobin's going to run over and just start bashing its skull a little bit, and then we.

Did it, We did it, and then he's going to.

Jump up and down, just cheering.

I'm going to run open and start to open.

His stomach open.

I want to see if the other guy is still alive.

What's his name?

Take the time to turn open it Gurney.

Gurney, are you in there with like a dagger?

In my hand trying to.

Chop carving him out.

I'll say at this point the.

Fires start to grow.

A little bit more around the but camp.

Are you actually going to take the time to try to cut it open?

No.

Let's get out of here.

Miss Redcap is.

Going to wait.

I'm going to.

Search the body of that guy.

That I killed Red Thorn's body.

Yeah, I'm.

Nearby him, so I'm going to go.

Search his body.

All right, you search.

His body really doesn't have.

Anything on him that's nothing.

Yeah, he kind of.

Just had the armor.

Within that that long sword that he had, which is in Mort's possession, Mort's possession, could we collect?

The armor.

Yeah, that he took off.

We're going to take the go ahead and put that in.

I'll say that.

Take two slots.

I could.

Yeah, I could grab it.

Can you grab it?

OK.

You spot the.

Blockers.

Who has more?

Health than open slots.

I have one open.

Slot and four health.

Can we split the half hour and just?

Do half hour.

Vern has a couple slots he can help aid.

With he need something.

We got it for now.

Shall we skedaddle?

Yes, let's.

Get out of here.

Yeah, things are going.

You just searching his body.

And you're gonna.

Leave under lock just right there as he his body's smoking in embers and starts boiling over with a tar.

This kind of I want to cut off his head and take it with you can.

Try.

All right, I'll try with my fancy.

Sword.

You start cutting into it.

And you quickly surmise this is.

A difficult tap.

All right, his skin is really hard and it's probably going to take you probably 30 minutes to like 45 minutes to get to get it completely ripped off, if you will.

He's starting to catch fire, too.

His like SAP is kind of like it's kind.

Of cooling, but like a lot of it's kind of melting and part of the body and you are all still surrounded by fire, which seems to be just growing even more.

Now I'll tug on Val's clothes.

We can come back for his skull if he if he burns up and all this.

All right, let's get out of this place.

Yes, let's, let's get out.

It should be daytime.

Now, right?

The sun is starting to kind of.

Down because this was a quick, this was quick battle, still dark.

I'll say about that entire entirety of you guys doing the attack all that because it was like 4 when it started, right?

Right, yeah, you get a guy you sound like woke up to.

Three and like traveled for like an hour to four, so it's about like 25 or something.

Woke up at 2, traveled, started stuff at 3 near 4, attacked because it was like 1520 minutes for the rat.

Stuff.

Yeah, probably about close to five.

OK, but tax to you dead.

They're quick.

So if we start walking the sun.

Would rise on us, true, but it is still dark, right?

Yeah, we woke up at 2:00.

So we can, we can.

Travel for 8 hours, but it is night all right, so so we could also just but.

It won't be night for.

Long true.

So we can wait.

We gotta light.

A torch, though, if we're gonna leave them, I'm.

Gonna cast light fail critically, yeah.

I'm going.

To light a, I'm going to.

Light a torch to.

Happen tonight if it's.

Not during a fight that's.

Better a critical fail, but.

Wait, I don't.

Think I don't have any look for priests.

Priest is the one that oh.

The Pennant.

That's right.

Yeah, I.

Mean we talked.

About it earlier.

And it happened.

I knew that this tonight, it is the Lantern.

I don't need the torch.

I mean, that's why I have the light spell.

Though is to just save on torches.

This game is very unforgiving when you fail.

What does a critical fail look like?

When you try to catch you die light, it's a little darker around us.

The fire is gone a little.

Bit the sun doesn't rise.

For another six hours exactly.

We're.

Going to let Dang.

That is an extreme.

Result I have a critical fail man I we're going to have to make a penance now my God's mad at me.

You have.

To build a church here.

For 20 days.

Oh my goodness.

Keeps failing and.

Having to restart the penance.

If the spell was a priest's spell, your deity is greatly displeased and revokes its power.

You can't cast that spell again until you complete ritualistic penance to your deity and successfully complete arrest.

OK, I can at least afford it.

Oh, the sacrifice value.

So.

Was the tier one yeah so 5 gold yeah, but pendants requires.

A holy quest, ritualistic atonement, or a material sacrifice that you donate or destroy.
