Give me agility for the lasso and then strength for the pull.

2

About to lose our rope, boys.

3

What's she doing up there?

4

Why is she tagging the rubber?

5

Getting used to the I think she's lassoing something.

6

Yeehaw.

7

that's right.

8

I put that die away.

9

I was like, where's my yellow die?

10

In jail.

11

Get ready for another nat one.

12

Uh twelve plus one is thirteen on strength and tw nat twenty plus three on agility.

13

Wow.

14

You rope it.

15

And you get it right on this right center mass and pull it towards you.

16

It is extremely heavy and you're you're heaving it.

17

And as it scratches along the ground, you hear some splashing at the far end of it and

kind of looks like the first mate, Mahekta.

18

A fish person jumps out and then another and then a third jump out and start walking

across and they see you yanking this thing.

19

Can you roll me a D6?

20

I hurry.

21

I get a two.

22

They go first.

23

Yeah, they do.

24

They start going Murlocking to each other.

25

Now I've hung out with Mahekta, so how much of that do I pick up?

26

It's a it's different than Different dialect?

27

Yeah, different dialect.

28

Give me a agility to dodge this spear that's coming your way.

29

Uh eleven plus five is sixteen.

30

Great.

31

Goes wide.

32

Another spear coming your way.

33

Give me agility.

34

sixteen plus five is twenty one.

35

Is there gonna be three spears?

36

There is gonna be a third, yes.

37

Alright.

38

Eleven plus five is sixteen again.

39

Yeah.

40

Phew, phoo, whew, hoo.

41

Dodging.

42

Bullet time.

43

Um and then they start to they don't charge because they're faster in the water, but they

start trancing towards you.

44

Are you just continuing to pull this?

45

As I back towards the like window that I intend to pull it out with me, could you

46

Would you want to perhaps uh toss the tail down here we have an entire tuga war team ready

to go.

47

Yep, yep, feel you're we're just kind of waiting on you down here, don't really know

what's happening.

48

Pull on this.

49

I think we are seeing perhaps a few spears that are coming out and splashing.

50

Yeah, I still don't know.

51

Maybe that's her just kind of tossing things out or going through a chest.

52

I'm getting the idea, I'm getting the idea.

53

We are pulling.

54

Ooh, three spears.

55

And I guess I guess it once they're She found some spears.

56

Isabel is gonna hop down and like get back.

57

Behind them, of course, to keep pulling.

58

Like use the weight of the armor so that you can just scuttle on down it.

59

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

60

She slides down the rope, actually.

61

That's pretty cool.

62

I mean, it's only helping our cost.

63

Yeah, you slink out the back.

64

The armor comes crashing down into the water next to you.

65

Huge splash.

66

It is massive in the water.

67

Scrags, when you're looking at it, Rat Skull.

68

When you're looking at it, Babita, when you're looking at it, it maybe it's a an illusion,

but it seems to shrink to your size.

69

Is this everyone but me?

70

I think it's a sexist armor.

71

It's beautiful.

72

Isabel, are you looking at the armor?

73

I I assume so.

74

Yeah.

75

It seems to be human sized.

76

Okay, great.

77

I I was really wondering what was going on.

78

Should we be should we be running, Isabel?

79

How many more spears did they have?

80

Splash, splash, they're in the water with you.

81

As they jump down three of them and you are surrounded, but I will give you your turn.

82

Go.

83

He's just gonna take a smack at this closest one, I think.

84

Machete go.

85

Yes.

86

But it is a weak amount of damage.

87

Only two.

88

Yeah.

89

Okay.

90

You beautiful bunch of must eye.

91

Yeah.

92

Some of the little like fins get cut off.

93

Um and it goes in your face.

94

Babida.

95

I am thinking I am trying to slink into this suit of armor.

96

like a hermit crab.

97

Uh it is non-metal, just to be sure.

98

Uh would you describe it as uh medium and not non-metal?

99

It is

100

Is crab shell essentially.

101

Okay it's you're slinking into it?

102

I am oh yes.

103

I can blast my musket to give a distraction for you while you're going across.

104

Yeah.

105

You slink into it and it closes around your body.

106

The helm comes up, covers half of your face, you can still see

107

and you have what looks to be a crab head on top of you and a crab shell on your back and

front and it's covering your arms.

108

This is negative d6 to any damage.

109

And it feels good.

110

And in your head, what did your father sound like Babida?

111

Uh I think he is uh a slurring drunk.

112

So only ever uh you know uh warbling words.

113

In your head the armor is like you fat little piece of shit.

114

You are worthless.

115

Yes, well, Father, you've done nothing for me in life, and at least now you will protect

this fat in death.

116

And he will strike confidently to the front with the the knowledge that uh this man has a

no bearing over him anymore.

117

Yeah.

118

This armor will give you negative d6 and it will incessantly criticize you the entire

time.

119

Brutal.

120

he's just like he's bucket home.

121

Kate, Ratskull, you taking a shot?

122

Yeah, I imagine while Babita was trying to make his way over, I I call out and yell to get

the deep one's attention.

123

I'm gonna shoot the one that Scrags didn't hit, trying to pull all of their attention over

towards us.

124

that is fifteen.

125

It's gonna do it.

126

Hot dog.

127

Um nine damage.

128

Great reduced by one.

129

So ten, it looks like you hit this thing in the gills and it slumps over.

130

It's still going, but at a slower pace.

131

And it's like Right, just give me a minute.

132

I start like pulling out a little bed of powder to load the musket like again.

133

That's it for me.

134

If you let me finish it off, I will gain the blood frenzied!

135

Right, that's what I I set it up for you.

136

That's what I did.

137

Thank you!

138

Isabelle.

139

Alright, so there's one that got dinged, one that's got a hole in his neck, and then

there's the third guy, right?

140

Yep.

141

I shoot the third guy.

142

Yeah, three times or once?

143

Always three times.

144

Okay.

145

I think.

146

Pew pew pew.

147

I can't think of a good reason not to.

148

Especially now that I have a knife.

149

Not really.

150

Yeah.

151

First shot is a 13

152

Second is a 13.

153

Third is a nine plus my presence, which is 11, which does not do it.

154

Okay, yeah, give me two on there.

155

Filthy behavior, this three pistols.

156

I am digging.

157

It's filthy.

158

It's very good.

159

Six and five.

160

Each reduced by one.

161

Yeah, so you pepper this thing and it s hunches over in the water and but it's still

holding its staff up.

162

Staff.

163

It has a staff?

164

Yeah.

165

Can somebody roll me a D twenty?

166

Twenty more of these fish people.

167

Awesome.

168

Shit.

169

Yeah, he's holding up his staff that helps him find the right direction.

170

And I need that staff.

171

Yeah.

172

You do.

173

He throws it at you, Isabel, as one last ditch effort.

174

So uh give me an agility.

175

Not one.

176

Yeah.

177

Uh it bonks you max damage of a D four.

178

What's your armor reduce for all a D four to see?

179

That is very funny that it is striking true.

180

It is finding the right direction.

181

You got bonked by the Kukalain stuff.

182

Isabelle is practically undefeatable.

183

I reduce it by two.

184

Okay.

185

Yeah.

186

So you take two damage and then the one next to you scrags

187

comes down for a bite.

188

See if he can get out of the way.

189

Does this count as being in seawater by any chance?

190

yes.

191

I oo it's fine.

192

It's fine.

193

Yeah.

194

Yeah.

195

I didn't dodge that.

196

I didn't dodge that.

197

Okay.

198

Yeah.

199

Didn't make it.

200

Yeah, his mouth opens up and it's like a lamprey and he hits you for four.

201

Do you have armor on?

202

I do have armor on.

203

Uh yeah, yeah.

204

Roll that.

205

He's just got the weak armor, but it is two off of it, so Yeah, you take two as he bites

you in the shoulder and you feel him sucking a little bit as he does it and it pierces

206

That's my blood.

207

Yeah.

208

Give it back.

209

So Isabel, back to you.

210

Another one comes up to you with a small gym encrusted or shell encrusted dagger.

211

And stabs down at your neck.

212

Give me an agility.

213

Mm-hmm.

214

that's a three.

215

Plus another three, which is six.

216

Okay.

217

Won't do it.

218

No, plus five.

219

Still won't do it though.

220

Still won't do it.

221

that is three HP.

222

Okay.

223

Minus your crab thing.

224

I reduce it by three.

225

Okay.

226

The the crabs like they do the the cat the sword catch.

227

Okay.

228

Just one of them at the very tip of it.

229

Yeah.

230

All right.

231

Back to you guys.

232

Scrags, do you wanna?

233

Yeah, Scrags is gonna just reach out.

234

This thing's clamped on his shoulder.

235

He just reaches out and tries to stab the neck of this one that Jerry shot.

236

And let's see, that should be good.

237

Cause he is in water, and only because he is in water he gets a 12.

238

But damage-wise, that time is a five.

239

You slice and it starts to bleed out.

240

falls over it's inky blood reaching out through the water and are you frenzied?

241

Uh yeah.

242

I think maybe some of the blood just lands in his eyes and you see like it's coloring them

red.

243

His people the black yeah.

244

And what does the frenzy do?

245

Uh it will give a plus two to all of his damage rolls.

246

Uh cumulative, the more stuff he kills.

247

So that's sick shit.

248

Yeah, it is 100% kill streak like

249

As long as I keep going, it's great.

250

But it goes away after a minute, so I gotta keep the streak going.

251

But that's it.

252

He's just click Done.

253

Rat's cool.

254

so then there are two remaining.

255

One of them which of them looks healthier than the other?

256

They look or actually no, let me just ask.

257

are any of them close to me or am I a little bit in the distance?

258

You're in the distance.

259

Okay, cool.

260

I am just gonna spend my action reloading my leg.

261

I don't need to deploy the bayonet.

262

That's it for me.

263

Easy peasy.

264

And I am going to come up behind one of the ones uh that looks fairly injured.

265

I will take my dagger and I will try to plunge it into the base of his skull.

266

You never could stand up for yourself in a fight.

267

You are such a coward.

268

You are the dumbest and ugliest coward I've ever seen.

269

I cannot Okay, that's kind of a long insult.

270

If you could just make it a little more concise and trying to do something.

271

Uh I roll at thirteen minus one, so I'm thinking it's two twelve.

272

That's good.

273

Okay.

274

That's good.

275

Then we are putting uh four points of damage right into the neckle.

276

Reduced by one, three points of damage.

277

oh Doesn't matter.

278

It starts to choke on the wooden knife and gurgle and slops down into the water.

279

Okay.

280

I will turn to the last one.

281

I will begin encounting over the other two and I will say these two have a future.

282

In the service uh of the great crab, but uh of you I am not so sure.

283

This is the one that's still latched onto Scrags' shoulder.

284

And that's Isabel reloading.

285

no, no no no.

286

I'm gonna go wallop this dude with his own staff.

287

Yeah.

288

It's a D four wallop, so give it.

289

I heard it automatically hits.

290

Am I rolling strength to hit?

291

Yeah.

292

Great.

293

seven does not do it.

294

I miss.

295

Yeah.

296

You don't miss, you still hit him, but it's just ineffective.

297

You just bonk him.

298

Yeah.

299

It's trying to hit you again.

300

Like it's really zeroed in on that destination.

301

Yeah.

302

And yeah, he comes in with a bite too.

303

Give me that agility, Isabel?

304

seventeen.

305

Okay.

306

Yeah.

307

Comes in, bites, but the crabs cover it and unable to pierce anything, but it's still

trying to hold you.

308

And everybody make a strength test.

309

Looking for twelve.

310

Not twenty.

311

Great.

312

Sixteen.

313

I don't think a three'll do it.

314

Nope.

315

Babida?

316

Yeah, fifteen over here.

317

Yeah, another massive wave from behind you hits you.

318

Rad school, you f get thrown ten feet under this square as you're relo trying to reload.

319

Yeah.

320

it is back to you guys.

321

I mean I'll I'll I'll

322

I'll take a crack at it.

323

Let's see what we do.

324

You're going for the big guy?

325

I'm going for the the big guy, yeah, the one that's uh attempting to being bonked with a

staff.

326

Yep.

327

Does quite well this time.

328

A twenty one, I think.

329

Yeah.

330

All said and done, that'll do it.

331

but only two damage.

332

So wait, plus two.

333

Plus four.

334

Four.

335

Alright.

336

Yeah, now we're cooking.

337

Okay.

338

Reduced by one.

339

And yeah.

340

Double damage.

341

Yeah, you

342

Chop this thing and it starts to gurgle and dies in the water in front of you.

343

He's just looking over at the other three.

344

Are there any more fish people wise?

345

The fish people are gone.

346

Do you look at the coral?

347

The massive coral thing has no you guys are closer.

348

Oh shit.

349

Yeah.

350

So the massive coral thing is about twenty feet away from you.

351

Closer than I like.

352

Sneaky.

353

We jog away.

354

Yeah.

355

The B day yeah.

356

I think I am encounting over the mighty fish man that has just fallen, for I am needing a

squire.

357

And and I am going to raise him from the watery depths.

358

You always got people to do the things for you.

359

You never did anything yourself.

360

Yeah, it's honestly way easier that way.

361

Have you ever tried it?

362

No, I'm not a pussy.

363

It's cult management, Dad.

364

Yeah.

365

You've

366

Resurrect a dumb zombie deep one.

367

Yeah.

368

And I think if we are not looking more like fighting, then I think I am looking more like

retreating.

369

So we are going the way of the ziggurat.

370

Is that still Yeah, did we want to go to the I infinity overpass here, uh in front of the

Ziggurot or just straight over to the Ziggurat?

371

I am taking your lead.

372

So I am simply walking the way to we have been.

373

It looks like there's a very clear path from this kind of overpass area over to the

ziggurat rather than having to climb up a bunch of rocks.

374

So let's do that then.

375

How how uh how instinctively do I know that this staff knows the right way?

376

When you hold it up, it feels like you you want to go to the giant temple, the Tartarian

temple.

377

It kinda pulls you toward that direction.

378

Now this staff is saying that we should go this way to get to the temple, but actually I

know a shortcut.

379

Is a shortcut on the the weird circle thing?

380

Can you uh describe exactly what the staff wants to do?

381

You're thinking of the Tartarian Temple, it is saying it's over there.

382

It's just pointing at it?

383

Yeah, it's just as the crow flies.

384

It's like the pin just right there.

385

It's not Google Maps.

386

We're more than a minute away from uh the random people on the road, right?

387

my Just hypothetically.

388

Yeah.

389

Hypothetically speaking.

390

Okay, great.

391

Give me a presence.

392

You anybody can.

393

Hmm.

394

Well, a three is gonna be bad no matter what I do, and I'm not positive on that.

395

No two total.

396

I have a twenty one.

397

Three might be a bit better.

398

Yeah.

399

As you're tr going toward this circle.

400

It does seem that's where a lot of the followers are gathering in a circle b sorry.

401

All of the followers that you've seen are stopping in that area and looking at the strange

obelisk and chanting something.

402

From afar, it sounds like the psalm that you heard read, and then there are also chants of

Scholinda, Sholinda, Scholinda.

403

Maybe we should go around.

404

Well, I mean

405

But you can say there's just the one path that's up in the temple, unless has the water

risen enough that we may be able to swim across this gap.

406

Because we see it's kind of on a raised pedestal with suspicious claw stalagmite things

kind of creeping up on it.

407

That is ominous.

408

Yeah.

409

You could get to some of the stalagmites and climb up if you wanted to.

410

We do have a rope.

411

Yeah, if we wanted to circumvent all the people.

412

Um I mean so far the costumes worked very well, but sure we can do that.

413

I don't know how much the crab boss armor might stand out in a crowd.

414

That's true.

415

It's a little hard to be avoiding that.

416

yeah, I mean Isabel if you want to take us on your shortcut, that is fine by me.

417

Yeah, well yeah, who on your shortcut?

418

Shortcut at the cigarette.

419

Always you take a shortcut through everything.

420

Yeah, well it's it's easier that way.

421

I'm not sure.

422

We take the shortcut.

423

See, you keep meaning these things as like uh insults, but they're kind of just like good

ideas, if I'm honest.

424

Babita, who are you talking to?

425

Babita's just been muttering in his like colossal chitin helm.

426

As if he hasn't been this whole time.

427

Yeah, okay.

428

And I'm just waving you up.

429

Hey, I I'm having the conversation.

430

I'm busy here.

431

Yeah, you roll up to the temple.

432

And you start to feel and see in the water ripples coming from it.

433

There is a heartbeat like thrumming emitting through the walls, and you get under the

stalagmite to potentially try to climb them.

434

Huh.

435

That's the last thing we say.

436

Huh.

437

That was weird.

438

Not what I expected.

439

Well, you are.

440

Cli attempting to climb these stalagmites.

441

You have rope.

442

So let's lower our DRs by two.

443

So you're looking for a ten.

444

And to climb, I would say it's probably agility.

445

Well, I'm glad I saved my devil's luck then.

446

Uh I am going to lower the the oomph so I I do pass.

447

You said we're lowering it by two to ten?

448

I'm very grateful for that lowering to ten because I rolled a ten on the die with a plus

zero.

449

So I got a seven on the die with a plus three.

450

So all of you guys are needing to be cheating a little bit, and this is the first time

that I am like rolling really good on something that I shouldn't be so good at.

451

And so I'm just like, heh, take that dad, as I am hand over hand in my way up.

452

Yeah, you feel the armor working for you too.

453

It's like you're only succeeding because I'm doing all the work.

454

Yeah, exactly.

455

Does that make you my minion?

456

They have had to carry you your entire life, you little shit.

457

Well, after your life too, it seems.

458

What's the approach?

459

Are you trying to find a back way in, going into this large front entrance?

460

What are you thinking?

461

Are there people obviously coming in and out of the front entrance, or are most of the

civilians kind of gathered around that overpass circle?

462

Well, I mean, ziggurats aren't known for their windows.

463

So our best bet may be just through the front door and then navigating once we're inside.

464

Yeah.

465

That sounds great.

466

But we can probably like it looks like those claws kind of like go over it.

467

They look like they opened We can probably, yeah, drop a rope down and just woo down to

the roof.

468

That's super cool.

469

Yeah.

470

Yeah, you go in there.

471

And there is a door that is ajar that just allowing traffic to come through if needed.

472

You can

473

Slip in past these giant stone doors.

474

The entranceway is about thirty feet high and is a narrow tunnel that goes deep into the

Ziggurat or th the temple.

475

Hoods up on those who have robes, bloody or otherwise.

476

Oh, if the question if the zombie crab minion, along with all of the other zombie minions,

did indeed crumble to dust in the sunlight earlier, does that mean that it's

477

Crab people robe fell down into the water, in which case we could now drape that over

Babida and his armor in a way that curiously fits, as if this was all destined to be.

478

Yeah, it is majestic.

479

Babida looks like the sea king.

480

You've heard tales of Poseidon, King Trident, and Neptune and Red Lobster, and Babida fits

the bill for all of them.

481

And he holds a majestic tiny wooden dagger in his hand with this massive armor.

482

Like and it's a terrible beauty.

483

Is Isabel, don't you think that Babida should have never mind, the staff looks good on you

two.

484

Yeah.

485

Yeah, Isabel The the staff does not look good on him.

486

The b Who said that?

487

Yeah.

488

Just

489

Marching in?

490

I think so.

491

Yeah.

492

Unless they have some kind of a fire escape map that we could maybe look at and memorize

in a very silent hill sort of way.

493

And then, you know, left, right, left, left.

494

No, nothing like that.

495

We kinda look the part now, so just nonchalant.

496

Yeah.

497

Just yeah.

498

You get in and there is a large antechamber and seaweed hangs from the ceiling.

499

It smells dank and briny in here.

500

It drips with moisture.

501

The ground itself is covered in almost like a seaweed type moss and squishes underfoot.

502

And you get into this chamber to your right as you're coming in.

503

There is a massive stone door.

504

To your left, there's an opening, and you hear voices from in that door to the left.

505

And straight ahead there is a coral

506

door that looks like it's interwoven and made of different types of coral, but they're

locked together.

507

And right in the middle is a altar.

508

So my money's gonna be that that altar's gonna require a blood sacrifice of some sort to

get it to open up.

509

We can hear folks talking in there in there either going to be prisoners or more cultists,

unless you want to try the closed door.

510

We could also we could also try the Spaniard.

511

I uh

512

Sure Spaniard, do you have any preferences?

513

Eh.

514

What's behind him, Sean?

515

No.

516

Do you think he can hear me when I say this?

517

Yes, I can hear you.

518

Um no no no.

519

You eh you cannot take me.

520

Like I I I will scream at the top of my lungs.

521

Well no, I w I didn't mean to sacrifice you.

522

Salty may have, but I was just asking your opinion.

523

This is a tame effort, no.

524

Do we not think that

525

The ink spitter is behind the big doors?

526

And if we sacrifice someone on the altar, the door is open and then we release the horror?

527

No, that's exactly what I think.

528

Well maybe that that's just an entry sacrifice, you know, like like a meal ticket or a a

door feed.

529

R that's it, that's the one.

530

What if we smash the altar?

531

As but the I and there's a heart inside I'm thinking that perhaps there is something to be

known.

532

About the other side of the door, and I am not knowing it, but I am thinking I know

somebody who might be knowing it.

533

And I am going to pretend to cut my hand with the wooden dagger over the altar and I am

going to cast a clairvoyant.

534

Yeah, right, right, right.

535

Well it it is symbolic.

536

It is symbol I look, I have it so that I don't hurt myself.

537

It's kind of easier that way.

538

and I am going to pretend as though I am giving a blood sacrifice.

539

And a drip of spirit will fall onto the altar and I'll cause clairvoyance to ask what is

behind that door.

540

You're walking through seaweed, and what looked like an altar, you pull it apart, and it

is a massive statue that disappears up into the seaweed that's tall.

541

And it is a strange, almost like cuddle fish that forms into this giant.

542

alien eyeball covered in tentacles at the top and it's made of that green almost

desiccated copper material.

543

Do you cut on this?

544

I'm sorry, is this like within my vision?

545

That's no no, this is this is what you see when you approach the altar that you had

noticed.

546

The actual room.

547

Yeah.

548

yeah, no, I mean I there is no intention to cut actually.

549

It is just uh pretend.

550

Right.

551

I am entering into the spirit realm and I will I will use that as the way to access my

clerbox.

552

Dripping your spirit blood.

553

Alright.

554

Yeah, did you do the spirit roll?

555

I am doing it now.

556

Um I am getting a nine, which is a plus five uh forty.

557

Yeah, you enter the spirit realm.

558

Is there an object that you've touched or anything?

559

I suppose perhaps I have put my hand on the altar.

560

Yeah.

561

When you put your hand on the statue.

562

You gain a devil's luck and you feel an immense sense of dread.

563

You feel like you're drowning in squid ink and it is coalescing around you, pulling you

deep down into the ocean and filling your lungs and your eyes.

564

What questions do you have for the deep?

565

This seems to have been just as I am touching the statue, no none of my own magic.

566

It's a mix.

567

well first I am trying to wonder with whom I am consulting.

568

But if I am not consulting with the ink spitter, then I am wondering how to ensure that it

cannot be unsealed.

569

Yeah.

570

Go ahead and give me another spirit roll.

571

Okay.

572

I'm getting a seven, uh, which is a plus five to a twelve.

573

Yeah, and I will use a devil's luck if I need to, but no, twelve soil all usually what

you're looking for unless I call it out.

574

Okay.

575

Yeah.

576

You are pulled deeper and deeper and deeper into this and you see eleven people around a

massive pool.

577

Below that pool something is thrumming and cultists come up behind them, slit their throat

and push them into the pool.

578

And then you see the water rise again.

579

the entirety of the city be submerged.

580

And as it's submerged, something from the deep rises.

581

Something massive that curls its tentacles around this entire temple, crumbles it under

its weight, and is here to end the world.

582

So it is seeming that an imminent sacrifice will be enough to push it over the edge.

583

And perhaps we don't know how much time.

584

Am I still in communion with whatever this dark being is?

585

Yeah, I'll give you another intuition or question.

586

I am asking if maybe perhaps there is a weakness in this temple.

587

A structural flaw, something that man made that makes it unfit for to holding a god or

something of this nature, something that might be exploitable.

588

Give me another spirit.

589

We're gonna go DR fourteen to get that.

590

Okay.

591

And I am rolling a fifteen, so that is a twenty.

592

There seems to be an insecurity in the vision.

593

There is a flash of a prison cell with people lined up in it.

594

And then at the end of a hallway, a small secret door that go takes you to the thrumming.

595

okay.

596

Uh I am going to try and

597

I focus on every sensation in that room because when I come out of this I am going to try

and impart that vision to Isabel and her staff to understand that perhaps this is the

598

right way.

599

Incredible.

600

You gasp as you come out of this and you have black ink leaking from your nose under your

armor and your mouth tastes irony and inky.

601

Cooling in the in the helmet enough to drip through the the slats at the front?

602

Yeah, almost like it's drooling black ink.

603

Nice.

604

And you look around and you do see there are two actual altars that aren't statues or in

the back.

605

And you have a few doorways you can take if you want.

606

Is there s it looks like there's stuff on the altars on this really beautiful map?

607

Yeah.

608

Is there anything valuable?

609

There are

610

Just shells that are extremely heavy.

611

Oh did someone take that weird shell from the with the square and the circle and the oval

Yeah.

612

Do you wanna maybe try putting that one on the other?

613

Edge?

614

it's like a balancing thing.

615

I hate these puzzles.

616

starts lifting them to figure out everything there.

617

But yeah, I like that idea a lot.

618

Does Bubida wanna convey this message so that we also try the staff?

619

Yeah yeah.

620

Absolutely.

621

And I think I am coming over to you in particular.

622

I will tell everyone of what I have seen, but for you, you are needing to see it too.

623

And so I am wiping some of the ink across your forehead.

624

And I am putting my hand uh over it and I am like an inverted cross because this is a

metal game.

625

Yeah.

626

And I am going to use e try and expand the devil's luck given to me by the statue.

627

Perhaps it carries more weight.

628

And I will try to give you the vision of the true path.

629

Isabel, it flashes in your eyes, and you see prison cells and a strange statue.

630

And you think if you hone in on that strange statue above a pool of water, that that's

where the staff will take you.

631

Go ahead and give me a spirit to tap into it.

632

That's a ten with a minus two, which is eight.

633

May I use another devil's luck to try and push it on.

634

Well, what I was gonna say is I can use one of my devil's luck to reduce the DR by four.

635

I would like to be doing it.

636

Okay dok.

637

Interesting.

638

Okay.

639

I won't bet you on that.

640

Yeah, you know exactly where the statue is and should be.

641

You start to hear a rousing sound from the room to the left when you were entering, and it

seems l seems it sounds like there's a sermon happening.

642

But is the staff pointing us that way or the other direction?

643

Pointing the other direction.

644

Open the door.

645

And then do a shortcut.

646

Open the door.

647

Yeah.

648

Well, you know, if we go through this main hallway, maybe there's a way for us to to go

right afterwards.

649

See if the door opens first.

650

You push it open and you see cells made of coral, and behind them you see your crew.

651

And

652

You hear Who's that?

653

Is that Isabel?

654

By God, it's Isabel.

655

Is that the captain?

656

No.

657

Whose voice is that?

658

It's Barbo.

659

Who's Barbo?

660

The elephant?

661

Oh Barbo.

662

Barbo Boggins What are you doing here?

663

The captain does notice after Barbo uh points it out, and well, dear God, if

664

Mid it, and he shakes Quintus.

665

Quintus, Quintus!

666

I told you they would come.

667

Yes, we're here to rescue you.

668

We are?

669

Obviously.

670

We are, of course.

671

Captain.

672

Thank goodness we followed your trail.

673

We are all this is a lovely reunion.

674

We are all scooting into this room and we are closing the giant stone doors behind us.

675

Good idea, good idea.

676

I have tried to break the cages open, but I have not been able to.

677

Can you help us?

678

Do you know if they have any keys?

679

Maybe on a very convenient hook by the door, perhaps?

680

One next to the dog.

681

It's wagging its tail.

682

Yeah, that's it.

683

Well, the uh when they put us in here it is shut and close us in.

684

Yes, that's how K just work.

685

But we're asking if you saw a key a key It grew.

686

Hmm And she'll do like growing corals around here.

687

I am so

688

Going to reach out and I'm going to touch the corals and I am going to cast clairvoyance

to try and understand how it grows or perhaps how it ungrows.

689

That's very cool.

690

Give me a spirit roll.

691

Okay.

692

I am rolling in 11, that is a 16.

693

You know that the basin behind you, once filled with seawater, will unlock the coral.

694

I am going to take Jean over there.

695

And I'm going to hit him on the back because I'm pretty sure he has a little bit left in

there.

696

And he's just going to keep puking until the seawater comes out.

697

man, I thought you were gonna stab the shit out of him and all of the bloods in seawater.

698

Are you kidding?

699

He's much too salty than that.

700

Okay.

701

thank you.

702

I was trying to get that out of me.

703

Thank you, Crabman, Babida.

704

And yeah, the coral starts to slink away.

705

Well, thank you for rescuing us.

706

We're on the precipice.

707

Don't thank us too much yet, sir.

708

We have it on pretty good account that there's some kind of world-ending monstrosity just

a little bit behind some of these doors.

709

It's Baldur Tash.

710

No, that's no such thing.

711

That's Baldartash.

712

No, I think it's Sidon's Rage!

713

Yeah, is in grave danger.

714

It's the f it's on the Earth!

715

Captain.

716

Scrags, can you be more clear?

717

Yes, I understand that the earth is in danger, but what what Babita was talking about a

tentacle thingy and it was going to c Sean's ship got destroyed.

718

Yeah.

719

I am holding up the sigil uh of the eye and I will uh move it forward so that it is the

only thing in his field of vision.

720

Dear God.

721

What my god.

722

Have you seen anything that looks like this?

723

Because if it will happen, you are about to.

724

If we do not do something about it right now.

725

He motions over to the two statues in the back that look exactly like that.

726

Seems like we're in a bit of a pickle then, eh?

727

Well, are we just escaping and cutting our losses?

728

Uh shit, I'm the I'm the captain, I'm the captain.

729

There will be no world left if we're not doing something right now.

730

That is.

731

Is it perhaps that any of our crew members have passed away in this time?

732

Look for ammo.

733

Perhaps so many prisoners and it did not make it.

734

Yeah.

735

Anyone affected with dysentery?

736

Yeah, our standards are getting more and more lax as time goes on.

737

You know, unfortunately, you do look in the coral cage and you see You see Gallows Gideon

has perished back there, the scrawny little guy from the lookout nest.

738

But Mother Marrow's okay.

739

She's like, I'm so glad you all came.

740

We lost him.

741

What?

742

Did anybody stay on the damn boat?

743

Oh shit.

744

Yeah, because yeah, didn't she stay on the boat?

745

Yeah, yeah.

746

Never Oh I thought Okay, sorry.

747

No no, it's Okay.

748

So what we gotta stop it then, right?

749

How do we stop it?

750

But I think Isabel knows the way.

751

We go down into the heart and we kill the heart and then we leave.

752

But I do think it's rather important to not die in proximity to it, because it's just

gonna make everything a bit worse now, right?

753

That's true.

754

Well you get that this we don't count as sacrifices, maybe.

755

I don't think elder gods tend to discriminate based on allegiance whether one counts as a

sacrifice or not.

756

Well how would you know?

757

And however it

758

If we are working on technicalities, these two have already died.

759

And so it is probably safe to be sending them down there.

760

He has a good point.

761

They died of dysentery.

762

Surely that doesn't count, right?

763

You're right, that's kinda not even real.

764

Like how can you just poop yourself to death?

765

I would swear to that, I'd be like, never mind.

766

Not that one.

767

That's a good point, Solte.

768

Ladies and gentlemen.

769

The gods team should want blood.

770

That's sacrificed in order to feel the heart.

771

Heart doesn't want shit, right?

772

So t shit yourself.

773

Sorry, you are saying we are we're gonna stop it.

774

But we still need to find the book, correct?

775

The what?

776

A book?

777

The book that gives us power.

778

The Atlantian he looks at Quintus.

779

Oh right.

780

Yes, treasure.

781

Yes.

782

There's a priceless book and we should find it.

783

The liturgies.

784

Yes.

785

The treasure.

786

Maybe we can use the treasure to blow up the heart.

787

Well there is a there is a sermon going on and you know how sermoners love their bibles.

788

Well and if they were to be reading from something, Atlantean liturgies, that was the city

that was buried by water.

789

Um this city is currently being buried by water.

790

Perhaps that is what they are reading from.

791

By God, he's a genius.

792

You hear that dad?

793

Fuck you.

794

No.

795

Okay.

796

So maybe we go to the to the the

797

The open doorway and there's like how many of us are there?

798

Like ten, fifteen total?

799

Uh-huh.

800

So there that's five people on either side of the door.

801

It's eight total.

802

Eight total.

803

Four people on each side of the door.

804

Yeah.

805

Do we just bust in?

806

Are we like peeking?

807

Hell yes.

808

Yeah, no, we just fucking rush.

809

We're not are we pirates or are we?

810

yeah, we we go around the corner like screaming, like, yeah.

811

Stabbing congregation or stuff.

812

Yeah, man.

813

Charge in there, gimme your initiative roll.

814

D six.

815

Do we get any sort of bonus for like literally ambushing them?

816

you did say you're shouting as you're rounding the corner.

817

So after we start running.

818

Fair enough.

819

Give me the D six.

820

D six.

821

Great.

822

Do you think they meet us home?

823

Oh.

824

They're very excited to join.

825

The prisoners caught out.

826

Yeah, Quintus is absolutely worthless and hides in the coral room.

827

You see him grabbing the strange shell you put on that altar and start arranging them in a

in different ways.

828

It's like I I think I I think I can get us in there, he says.

829

Wait, why?

830

Stop.

831

have fun with that.

832

I'm gonna go shoot some fuckers.

833

I'm attempted to stay behind and try and solve it with you, but I actually haven't you

bust in there and there is a person standing at the stage of the room with an altar.

834

And he is reciting the third psalm.

835

You cut him off as he's saying, Boom shall crack and voices falter.

836

I am Who the fuck is that?

837

Yeah.

838

Yeah, and you guys just walk in and blast.

839

Anyways, I started blasting.

840

I think we fall upon the congregation in the flurry of blades and gunfire.

841

Yeah.

842

Okay.

843

That's just it.

844

Yeah, you guys charge in and have the what are you doing?

845

Whipping in, like in the middle of the priest thing, uh Ratskull's gonna yell, I object

and then like kind of hop on one leg, lift the better leg up, and I'm going to shoot.

846

I rolled a uh twenty-three.

847

I'm gonna spend a devil's luck for a max damage of twelve on the priest as he's speaking,

just because this is my moment.

848

Awesome.

849

Yeah.

850

Explain the kill as he's like

851

Who the fuck is and then po Yeah, headshot, pop, gone.

852

I do.

853

Wait.

854

I ob The spirit's there, lad!

855

The spirit's there.

856

You're married to the ink spinner now.

857

Yeah.

858

Alright.

859

Uh wait, didn't you marry yourself?

860

Are you allowed?

861

That's why I just said.

862

Like w I needed to find a like matrimony, right?

863

You should have had him div divorce you first.

864

Yeah, congratulations.

865

Isabella, you go ahead.

866

are any of the congregants armed?

867

Yeah.

868

They all have their cultist daggers and they're s sitting on their knees supplicated.

869

uh yeah.

870

Walk up to one that's kneeling and just fucking execute him.

871

That's you don't have to.

872

In fact, all three of your shots you can use on different people just like pop, pop, pop

in this first round.

873

And there are eight of them.

874

Brutal.

875

yes, I do that thing.

876

Down the line, Babida or Scraggs.

877

Scrags is gonna be very similar of just get to the first one and lop a head off if it's

that easy.

878

Yeah.

879

The blood puts in his eyes.

880

Since it's you know, you're trying to lop a head off.

881

Yeah.

882

Go ahead and just do it, your strengths high enough.

883

And Babida, what are doing?

884

I think Bibida is concerned about whatever blood being spilled into this pool.

885

And so he is going to send the fishman and Gallos Gideon to grab the sacrificial uh are

there sacrifices in front of the uh cultists?

886

No, it's just a just uh sermon it looks like.

887

Okay.

888

He's going to pull two of them back against the outside wall, far far away from the center

of them.

889

Perfect, yeah.

890

You're dragging them away.

891

You guys see Crabman pulling

892

Some bodies away, and it is their turn.

893

You know, roll morale for them, and that's not working.

894

They all stand up in the chaos of things and they try running past you out of this room

toward the main anti-chamber you came in on.

895

Just cutting them down one by one.

896

Is the captain and all them?

897

I assume they're just like waiting to hack them up in the main lobby.

898

Yeah.

899

Yeah, the captain tackles one and just beats.

900

The person with his fist smashes his skull into the ground.

901

Yeah.

902

He lost his hat and you seem like that hat was special to him and he is taking it out on

them.

903

Uh Quintus is still messing with shells and you see the surgeon pull out a rusty knife

that she uses for surgery and just gut somebody as they run by and all the cultists are

904

laying there dead.

905

Why do I feel like it's only downhill from here?

906

Is that a door near the back of the the whatchum?

907

I don't know if we can see that since it's on the map, but in the altar room or the Yeah.

908

Yeah, that's a door you can see.

909

And I mean Scrags is feeling that blood frenzy.

910

We if hold nobody is no, nope.

911

I'll surruption you from going.

912

We we're here looking for the book so we can go down the secret doorway to go down into

the pool to fight the heart.

913

I don't see the where is do is the book is this the book?

914

Wasn't he reading from the book?

915

We don't know that he was reading from the book.

916

He's reading from a book.

917

I do have a book here.

918

You go grab the book title sheet.

919

You grab the book and it is in a language you cannot fathom.

920

Um you think Quintus could probably read it since he read that all the carvings into that

merman.

921

Um

922

But it is it is about this size small, like almost like a pocket bible.

923

A five.

924

A five.

925

You hear Quintus in the other room.

926

Oh, you you just have to arrange them, okay.

927

And he's arranging his shell.

928

Do you want to go stop him?

929

Wait, stop, stop it, stop.

930

Roll flip a Figured it out.

931

Flip a coin.

932

I will flip a What's over here doing Zelda puzzles?

933

In the coral door that

934

Coral unwinds itself and starts to open and see the chamber behind it.

935

Quintus, first of all, is this the book?

936

Look!

937

It's there!

938

And you see Rag just bolts through the door.

939

He knows that if he had said yes, I'd have shut them dead.

940

Oh fuck.

941

Okay.

942

Yeah.

943

But no, please.

944

The the book's like within this area.

945

Yeah.

946

Quintus is it's opening.

947

I what book?

948

By God it let me see, he almost said.

949

Well it's it's a book of great importance, but it's not the Atlantian liturgies, it's

something else.

950

I cannot quite catch this word, but it's something something to do with Glaaki or

something.

951

Glaqui Glaaki.

952

Um we'll have to study it.

953

Maybe another time then.

954

Should we is it a point in using the

955

Cool secret path.

956

I feel like we invested a lot of effort into doing it, but oh Ben Faster!

957

Nah nah nah Eating the coral.

958

Oh, I wanna ask the fucking staff where the book is.

959

yeah, i it points to Quintus, who's holding it.

960

Because Quintus is the way to get to the book.

961

He you gave him the book.

962

He's all No, the Atlantean liturgy.

963

Yeah.

964

Okay, I shoot Quintus.

965

Yeah, for real.

966

Well he just lied to us, right?

967

Sure seems like it.

968

It could be a lie, it could be a mistranslation from the ages, like it could be an Is

there is there a way to like use presence to tell if someone is lying or some other skill?

969

This coral door has opened.

970

Damn fuck.

971

And you see a circle of people bound standing next to it.

972

And it looks like seven have already been kicked into this pool.

973

And blood is starting to fill it up, and they are going through and quickly now, slicing

the rest of their throats and kicking them in.

974

Scrags is going like full tilt towards one of the ones that's still alive and just gonna

try and absolutely body the guy that's about to cut throat.

975

You run up and there are it looks like about seven cultists in here, and you run up right

to the pool, body him, go in and give me a strength.

976

Not today.

977

Ooh.

978

Uh no.

979

Maybe today.

980

Two.

981

Two is not so good.

982

Scrags, you go to body him, he shifts his weight, and you fly and fall into the bloody

pool of seawater.

983

You feel the thrumming under you.

984

And you are swimming in an inky morass of blood, seawater, and ink.

985

Isabel.

986

Bebeta or Rat Skull, what are you doing?

987

Uh start blasting cultists.

988

Alright.

989

Go ahead.

990

Any of the cultists more obviously doing the throat cutting and some cultists doing, say,

the chanting?

991

Yeah, when you look into the room, it looks like they're all standing next to people.

992

They're trying to get this over with because of your presence, is your guess.

993

So I would Yep.

994

Go ahead, sorry.

995

We shoot knife cultists.

996

Yeah.

997

Shooting the people the cultists who have not yet sacrificed.

998

Great.

999

Yeah.

00:50:15,984 --> 00:50:16,774

Go ahead.

00:50:16,774 --> 00:50:17,435

Fire away.

00:50:17,435 --> 00:50:20,076

That is a seventeen or nine.

00:50:20,147 --> 00:50:20,527

my god.

00:50:20,527 --> 00:50:20,938

Yeah.

00:50:20,938 --> 00:50:31,226

There's one who's about to slash a woman's throat pulling her hair back, and you fire, and

it hits him center mass in the heart.

00:50:31,226 --> 00:50:34,189

Um he falls down into the pool.

00:50:34,189 --> 00:50:36,574

And Isabel, it is over to you.

00:50:36,574 --> 00:50:37,862

Uh I got three hits.

00:50:37,862 --> 00:50:38,852

Okay.

00:50:38,852 --> 00:50:42,696

Uh I got a seven on the first hit.

00:50:42,696 --> 00:50:43,116

Jesus.

00:50:43,116 --> 00:50:44,827

Is that enough to body someone?

00:50:44,827 --> 00:50:47,349

That's enough to kill, because they have seven hit points.

00:50:47,349 --> 00:50:48,779

So perfect.

00:50:48,779 --> 00:50:50,802

I got oop a two.

00:50:50,802 --> 00:50:56,166

And we will shoot that cultist again after he does not fall for eight.

00:50:56,166 --> 00:50:56,987

Oh yeah.

00:50:56,987 --> 00:50:58,288

Bam, another one.

00:50:58,288 --> 00:50:59,369

Pop, pop.

00:50:59,369 --> 00:51:08,637

Three bullets or two b or shot hit him, tear a giant exit wound, and he slumps down into

the pool.

00:51:08,637 --> 00:51:10,979

And it is over to Babida.

00:51:10,979 --> 00:51:11,739

Yeah.

00:51:11,739 --> 00:51:14,455

And Babida bids I

00:51:14,455 --> 00:51:17,508

And sorry, I thought this was the room we were going into last time.

00:51:17,508 --> 00:51:26,695

I am sending my two trolls in to grab two of the free uh sacrifices and pulling them away

from the pit.

00:51:26,695 --> 00:51:41,918

And I am casting my enchantment on one of the cultists that was just shot and is perhaps

not on the ground yet, still with arm around throat, and it will take it hostage and begin

00:51:41,918 --> 00:51:43,783

to back it up as a turn thrall.

00:51:43,783 --> 00:51:44,803

Yeah, incredible.

00:51:44,803 --> 00:51:45,813

It all goes out.

00:51:45,813 --> 00:51:49,164

Give me the spirit check for the new Oh actually you don't have to do it for the check.

00:51:49,164 --> 00:51:49,743

Yeah, no.

00:51:49,743 --> 00:51:50,244

That's right.

00:51:50,244 --> 00:51:50,805

Yeah.

00:51:50,805 --> 00:51:52,105

Yeah, it just happens.

00:51:52,105 --> 00:51:56,166

That that sacrifice is getting mixed messages here.

00:51:56,166 --> 00:51:56,726

Yeah.

00:51:56,726 --> 00:51:57,496

That's awesome.

00:51:57,496 --> 00:51:58,106

Yeah.

00:51:58,106 --> 00:51:59,007

Yeah.

00:51:59,007 --> 00:52:02,367

And there are three cultists left.

00:52:02,367 --> 00:52:06,649

One of them slashes the throat and tosses another person in.

00:52:06,649 --> 00:52:13,274

The other does something similar but stabs them in the chest multiple times and then

tosses them in.

00:52:13,274 --> 00:52:20,540

And then the third jumps in the water at you, Scrags, and comes down to slice you with its

knife.

00:52:20,540 --> 00:52:23,063

Go ahead and roll agility.

00:52:23,063 --> 00:52:23,773

You're in the water.

00:52:23,773 --> 00:52:28,327

Uh that gets me up to a solid eight.

00:52:28,327 --> 00:52:28,867

Oops.

00:52:28,867 --> 00:52:29,368

Damn sweep.

00:52:29,368 --> 00:52:29,768

Oops.

00:52:29,768 --> 00:52:30,449

Oh.

00:52:30,449 --> 00:52:33,471

I don't have a devil's luck anymore.

00:52:33,471 --> 00:52:35,843

Comes in and stabs you for three.

00:52:35,843 --> 00:52:36,974

Woo!

00:52:36,974 --> 00:52:39,286

Alright, let me roll my whatchum.

00:52:39,286 --> 00:52:41,328

Uh so two total.

00:52:41,328 --> 00:52:41,958

gets through.

00:52:41,958 --> 00:52:43,480

So not nothing.

00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:44,080

Yeah.

00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,642

And your blood is mixing with the pool now as well.

00:52:47,642 --> 00:52:49,023

It is over to you.

00:52:49,023 --> 00:52:54,987

This guy doesn't seem like he's a merman.

00:52:55,008 --> 00:53:04,264

So I think that Salty just like grabs his neck while he's like stabbing and just starts to

swim down further into the pool.

00:53:04,264 --> 00:53:04,874

Nice.

00:53:04,874 --> 00:53:06,806

Towards this like beating heart.

00:53:06,806 --> 00:53:10,198

He's trying to choke the hair out of this guy.

00:53:10,408 --> 00:53:12,009

There is a bottom to this pool.

00:53:12,009 --> 00:53:14,490

You feel the beating heart below it.

00:53:14,690 --> 00:53:16,791

And you hold him under there.

00:53:16,791 --> 00:53:18,792

Give me a strength test.

00:53:19,273 --> 00:53:20,083

Natural one.

00:53:20,083 --> 00:53:21,033

Okay.

00:53:21,033 --> 00:53:21,994

Yeah.

00:53:22,414 --> 00:53:23,455

It was a cool thought.

00:53:23,455 --> 00:53:24,195

Yeah.

00:53:24,195 --> 00:53:25,245

It really was.

00:53:25,245 --> 00:53:26,156

Mm-hmm.

00:53:26,156 --> 00:53:26,526

Yeah.

00:53:26,526 --> 00:53:28,677

Slip as damn it.

00:53:28,677 --> 00:53:37,682

He's as you're s swimming down there, his knife is still in you, and you grappling him

just yanks him and cuts you even further.

00:53:37,682 --> 00:53:40,188

So you're gonna take another D4 and

00:53:40,433 --> 00:53:42,254

That is a three again.

00:53:42,254 --> 00:53:43,524

Oof.

00:53:43,524 --> 00:53:44,505

I'm hurting.

00:53:44,505 --> 00:53:45,084

Alright.

00:53:45,084 --> 00:53:48,026

Uh does that degrade armor as well?

00:53:48,026 --> 00:53:48,706

Yeah.

00:53:48,706 --> 00:53:51,888

Alright, so his armor floats to the surface.

00:53:51,888 --> 00:53:55,299

No, his knife is just under it already and just does full damage.

00:53:55,299 --> 00:53:56,690

So you take three.

00:53:56,690 --> 00:53:57,490

Alright.

00:53:57,490 --> 00:53:58,651

He has done it.

00:53:58,651 --> 00:54:00,651

Okay.

00:54:00,651 --> 00:54:02,472

Things are not going good down here.

00:54:02,472 --> 00:54:03,613

You hear from the bubbles.

00:54:03,613 --> 00:54:04,683

Yeah, sure.

00:54:04,853 --> 00:54:09,789

Isabel, Ratskull, the one cultist who has left, dive down.

00:54:09,789 --> 00:54:11,059

With Scrags.

00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:12,020

What do you do?

00:54:12,020 --> 00:54:13,461

How do we stop this?

00:54:13,461 --> 00:54:14,421

I know.

00:54:14,421 --> 00:54:19,864

Let me use this tablet that I found that surely this will be the MacGuffin.

00:54:21,165 --> 00:54:32,450

This tablet lets you cast mine manticles, so a creature that you can see must obey your

commands for D2 plus your spirit rounds.

00:54:32,450 --> 00:54:34,171

Holy shit!

00:54:34,171 --> 00:54:34,855

Yeah!

00:54:34,855 --> 00:54:40,806

I'm going to cast this on What's his nuts and I'm gonna tell him to read the book and make

it stop.

00:54:40,877 --> 00:54:41,837

that's much funnier.

00:54:41,837 --> 00:54:46,388

I thought you were gonna tell it you know down in the pool and drowned that dude.

00:54:46,388 --> 00:54:49,619

I mean, that would be cool, but if I No, that's much better.

00:54:49,619 --> 00:54:59,111

In the moment, if I know that, like if I get a feeling that I can control someone, I'm

going to immediately turn away from the pool and point at Quintus and because he's the one

00:54:59,111 --> 00:55:01,512

with the book, and I'm like, Stop this thing.

00:55:03,172 --> 00:55:04,753

Okay, one second, sorry!

00:55:04,753 --> 00:55:06,694

And he starts flipping through.

00:55:06,694 --> 00:55:07,454

Ugh.

00:55:08,115 --> 00:55:13,298

And he's gonna read for D two plus spirit rounds.

00:55:13,298 --> 00:55:13,958

Okay.

00:55:13,958 --> 00:55:17,010

I think that that is just a D two round.

00:55:17,010 --> 00:55:17,540

Hang on.

00:55:17,540 --> 00:55:19,732

Yeah, I gotta no, I have a plus one spirit.

00:55:19,732 --> 00:55:20,322

Alright.

00:55:20,322 --> 00:55:21,062

Yahoo!

00:55:21,062 --> 00:55:22,283

How many rounds?

00:55:22,283 --> 00:55:23,844

Fuck yeah, three rounds.

00:55:23,844 --> 00:55:24,594

He'll be reading.

00:55:24,594 --> 00:55:25,445

Okay.

00:55:25,445 --> 00:55:26,285

He's reading.

00:55:26,285 --> 00:55:29,027

Isabel killed this fucker after he's done with this.

00:55:29,027 --> 00:55:31,306

S scrags, it is

00:55:31,306 --> 00:55:36,626

That guy's turn again, he pulls out the dagger and comes down for another slash giveaway.

00:55:36,626 --> 00:55:38,852

I'm still having a turn in between.

00:55:38,852 --> 00:55:39,563

Sure.

00:55:39,563 --> 00:55:40,193

yeah, sorry.

00:55:40,193 --> 00:55:40,319

yeah.

00:55:40,319 --> 00:55:41,434

And Isabel too.

00:55:41,434 --> 00:55:42,495

Yeah.

00:55:42,495 --> 00:55:49,401

Um yeah, I uh could I get a a tally on the total number of sacrifices whose blood has made

it into the pool?

00:55:49,401 --> 00:55:53,564

I was thinking there were eight before we walked in and then two more were just killed.

00:55:53,564 --> 00:55:56,846

Do you think that if you resurrect them they uncount?

00:55:56,846 --> 00:56:00,255

Uh no, I think the blood was still.

00:56:00,255 --> 00:56:02,806

field but I wouldn't I wouldn't mind trying.

00:56:02,806 --> 00:56:07,287

Isabel and Rascal shot two and killed them and they fell into the pool.

00:56:07,287 --> 00:56:10,508

And then the cultists don't count as sacrifices, do they?

00:56:10,508 --> 00:56:11,528

Why not?

00:56:11,528 --> 00:56:13,129

That's what I was saying.

00:56:13,129 --> 00:56:15,629

That's why I'm worried about killing this guy down here.

00:56:15,629 --> 00:56:16,590

I didn't get it.

00:56:16,590 --> 00:56:28,253

So so there's ten total and then they killed two more cultists, so or not cultists, sorry,

um sacrifices, so you're at twelve in a vision.

00:56:28,253 --> 00:56:29,893

I saw eleven in a vision.

00:56:31,106 --> 00:56:34,027

There needs to be 13, you hear Quintus say.

00:56:34,068 --> 00:56:36,489

Okay, okay, thirteen.

00:56:36,489 --> 00:56:40,051

I am sending both my lackeys.

00:56:40,331 --> 00:56:46,975

The cultist is going to keep the cultist thrall is going to keep the remaining sacrifices

at bay.

00:56:46,975 --> 00:56:57,367

The two remaining thralls are going to jump into the pool and attempt to pry the arms back

of the one who is assaulting Scry.

00:56:57,367 --> 00:56:59,989

They're gonna grapple and hold scrags.

00:56:59,989 --> 00:57:03,912

Give me just a strength plus just a straight strength.

00:57:03,912 --> 00:57:05,113

Looking for twelve would be death.

00:57:05,113 --> 00:57:06,575

Straight strength.

00:57:06,575 --> 00:57:08,876

And no, that first one fails.

00:57:08,876 --> 00:57:11,148

The second one also fails.

00:57:11,148 --> 00:57:11,719

Okay.

00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,182

They're dumb zombies and guys trying.

00:57:15,182 --> 00:57:17,783

I would like to use a devil's luck on one of them.

00:57:17,783 --> 00:57:21,987

Uh the one that would restrain the arm with the blade.

00:57:21,987 --> 00:57:25,190

Just turn it into a success or a lower the DR?

00:57:25,190 --> 00:57:25,832

Yeah.

00:57:25,832 --> 00:57:27,663

Lowered the R By four?

00:57:27,663 --> 00:57:28,123

Yeah.

00:57:28,123 --> 00:57:29,703

From a eight to a four.

00:57:29,703 --> 00:57:30,603

Yeah.

00:57:30,883 --> 00:57:31,324

Yeah.

00:57:31,324 --> 00:57:37,065

So grabs the blade arm and it's like Scrags.

00:57:37,065 --> 00:57:49,909

Mission impossible blade right next to the These two life saving zombies swim down and the

deep one zombie is able to grab the arm and keep you from getting stabbed again.

00:57:49,909 --> 00:57:51,079

Who is up then?

00:57:51,079 --> 00:57:53,850

Is it uh back to us or is it

00:57:53,952 --> 00:57:54,732

The henchman.

00:57:54,732 --> 00:57:56,023

Isabelle.

00:57:56,023 --> 00:57:56,734

It's your turn.

00:57:56,734 --> 00:57:57,504

There you go.

00:57:57,504 --> 00:57:58,665

Just reloading?

00:57:58,665 --> 00:58:01,367

No, I still got that rope.

00:58:01,367 --> 00:58:02,507

Mm-hmm.

00:58:02,507 --> 00:58:03,148

Mm-hmm.

00:58:03,148 --> 00:58:07,971

How hard do you think it is to rope a dude that's fifteen feet underwater?

00:58:07,971 --> 00:58:12,854

You can throw it on top of the water where well physics will kind of split.

00:58:12,854 --> 00:58:15,065

That's what I mean.

00:58:15,065 --> 00:58:16,536

That's what I thought.

00:58:16,536 --> 00:58:19,552

You c you can tie uh weight to it.

00:58:19,552 --> 00:58:20,432

For your turn.

00:58:20,432 --> 00:58:21,543

Any minute now.

00:58:21,543 --> 00:58:22,574

He's a gunner.

00:58:22,574 --> 00:58:25,887

He happens to pop up right in the middle of that there rope.

00:58:25,887 --> 00:58:26,688

Woo boy.

00:58:26,688 --> 00:58:31,062

I'll let you spin one of your pistols through it.

00:58:31,062 --> 00:58:33,433

Tie it quickly and drop it in the water if you want.

00:58:33,433 --> 00:58:35,485

No, I think my guns are more useful as guns.

00:58:35,485 --> 00:58:36,006

Yep.

00:58:36,006 --> 00:58:37,167

I'll keep that that way.

00:58:37,167 --> 00:58:37,787

Okay.

00:58:37,787 --> 00:58:38,227

Yeah.

00:58:38,227 --> 00:58:39,508

You're reloading.

00:58:40,589 --> 00:58:41,991

Quintus is like, okay.

00:58:41,991 --> 00:58:47,394

I don't know how to stop it, but I think destroying the heart is what is the the fastest

way.

00:58:47,895 --> 00:58:48,765

Did you see the heart?

00:58:48,765 --> 00:58:49,976

Do you know where it is?

00:58:49,976 --> 00:58:50,697

No, God.

00:58:50,697 --> 00:58:54,479

Probably down there would be my throttle.

00:58:54,479 --> 00:58:56,320

No, it's through the through the statue hall.

00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:56,920

Wait.

00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:57,821

Who's asking?

00:58:57,821 --> 00:58:58,521

Quintus is asking?

00:58:58,521 --> 00:58:59,631

Quintus is he's reading the.

00:58:59,631 --> 00:59:00,702

We'll take you there in a minute.

00:59:00,702 --> 00:59:02,803

Okay, we have to try to destroy it.

00:59:02,803 --> 00:59:03,664

Captain!

00:59:03,664 --> 00:59:04,804

The captain walks over.

00:59:04,804 --> 00:59:08,926

His hands are covered in gore from smashing that guy's head in.

00:59:09,567 --> 00:59:14,390

Well, I saw King George for a minim the monument there and couldn't stop myself.

00:59:14,390 --> 00:59:16,171

Where's Oh, okay.

00:59:16,171 --> 00:59:17,191

I don't know.

00:59:17,525 --> 00:59:19,356

Well what are we doing in here?

00:59:19,356 --> 00:59:21,336

The pool's you guys stopped it.

00:59:21,336 --> 00:59:22,136

Thank God.

00:59:22,136 --> 00:59:25,107

Well we're hoping that um Graggs is okay down there.

00:59:25,107 --> 00:59:30,139

He's there's a guy stabbing him down at the bottom of this pool, but Okay.

00:59:30,139 --> 00:59:31,719

We're we're hoping he'll be alright.

00:59:31,719 --> 00:59:32,199

Okay.

00:59:32,199 --> 00:59:33,060

He'll be fine.

00:59:33,060 --> 00:59:35,400

Scra Scrags, it's your turn.

00:59:36,661 --> 00:59:38,141

The knife is coming in.

00:59:38,141 --> 00:59:43,915

Oh does Graggs like this is bloody and inky, so it might make sense that he can't see shit

in here.

00:59:43,915 --> 00:59:56,203

In that case, he is just going to grab this guy and knowing that he's not supposed to

kill, he's again going to choke him here.

00:59:56,203 --> 00:59:58,325

Knock him out Scrags.

00:59:58,325 --> 01:00:00,576

Well, in your bloodlust.

01:00:01,457 --> 01:00:02,978

that's a good point.

01:00:02,978 --> 01:00:03,668

No, it's not.

01:00:03,668 --> 01:00:06,230

Okay, yeah, he's gonna try and rip this guy's throat out.

01:00:06,230 --> 01:00:08,051

Okay.

01:00:08,051 --> 01:00:08,271

Yeah.

01:00:08,271 --> 01:00:10,503

Let's see if Nathan's dice luck holds.

01:00:10,503 --> 01:00:11,183

Now it is.

01:00:11,183 --> 01:00:12,373

Now I got him.

01:00:12,373 --> 01:00:16,536

I got a sixteen plus two eighteen strength.

01:00:16,536 --> 01:00:17,437

Okay.

01:00:17,437 --> 01:00:20,129

On a John Claude Van Dam throat rip.

01:00:20,129 --> 01:00:23,182

How what's Yeah, give me a D4 for it.

01:00:23,182 --> 01:00:24,523

D four makes sense.

01:00:24,523 --> 01:00:25,253

Alright.

01:00:25,253 --> 01:00:29,006

They add a D4, roll it three.

01:00:29,006 --> 01:00:35,231

They had seven hit points and he was down to two, so how many people did I kill in that

okay, perfect.

01:00:35,231 --> 01:00:35,652

yeah.

01:00:35,652 --> 01:00:39,204

You Yeah, because I've got bonus damage on top of that, I suppose.

01:00:39,204 --> 01:00:41,716

Yeah, there's no way he could not die then.

01:00:41,752 --> 01:00:42,642

Um dun dun.

01:00:42,642 --> 01:00:47,134

Yeah, you tear out his trachea, blood spurts into the water.

01:00:47,134 --> 01:00:49,414

One minute, motherfucker!

01:00:50,534 --> 01:00:52,235

One more minute.

01:00:52,595 --> 01:00:54,255

Get to the clock.

01:00:57,556 --> 01:01:03,378

Up top, Quintus is like, okay, if we we gotta get down there and do we have explosives?

01:01:03,378 --> 01:01:05,438

Um, I don't know.

01:01:05,438 --> 01:01:07,459

I have a what do you call that?

01:01:07,459 --> 01:01:08,779

A a powder horn?

01:01:08,779 --> 01:01:11,586

I don't know if that's gonna cut it, but

01:01:11,586 --> 01:01:13,587

Uh everybody give me your powder.

01:01:13,587 --> 01:01:15,148

I can make something quickly.

01:01:15,148 --> 01:01:19,150

It's alright, he's still mind-controlled for at least the next like twelve seconds.

01:01:19,150 --> 01:01:20,261

Well, I might need it.

01:01:20,261 --> 01:01:21,071

Okay.

01:01:21,071 --> 01:01:23,152

Does anybody else have powder?

01:01:23,152 --> 01:01:31,077

I'll give all my remaining shots from my powder leg, which I got a bit fuzzy on the map.

01:01:31,077 --> 01:01:36,059

But I assume that would be at least six shots worth of powder.

01:01:36,059 --> 01:01:36,410

Great.

01:01:36,410 --> 01:01:37,380

Okay.

01:01:37,380 --> 01:01:38,321

That's not a lot.

01:01:38,321 --> 01:01:39,211

It's just a few.

01:01:39,211 --> 01:01:39,861

Little bit.

01:01:39,861 --> 01:01:42,154

Hey, listen, I'm fucking trying here.

01:01:42,154 --> 01:01:44,435

That's really it's the my only thing.

01:01:44,435 --> 01:01:45,496

That's all I can do.

01:01:45,496 --> 01:01:53,153

I'm sacrificing it for he's motherfucking storming off, walking at the no hum, no no no no

no disrespect.

01:01:53,153 --> 01:01:55,575

We're at twelve out of three.

01:01:55,575 --> 01:01:56,936

That was the thirteenth.

01:01:56,936 --> 01:01:59,658

That was the thirteenth kill underworld just did.

01:01:59,658 --> 01:02:02,301

Scratch are you taking the body up?

01:02:02,301 --> 01:02:04,422

Ooh uh let me roll for it.

01:02:04,422 --> 01:02:05,353

It's a good question.

01:02:05,353 --> 01:02:07,651

Uh I'll bring up

01:02:07,651 --> 01:02:13,363

Bring it up, just holding it through the throat, just pulling this body behind him.

01:02:13,363 --> 01:02:16,661
