¶ Intro / Opening
Is that you guys had stopped in what I had labeled roommate, and there were two stuck doors.
¶ The Adventure Begins
Before that, you had found a treasure chest after passing through the pendulum trap door. I mean, that was the second part of the game. Yeah, I feel like you missed a lot of key details there. I feel like I fought a lot of things. Yeah. It was mostly traps and centipedes. Yeah, there were goblins that you guys left alone, pretty much. But we killed their breastplate that was alive, though. No, they killed it. We knocked it out. They jumped it into a pit. No, it came back alive.
I put it to sleep with the juggler bomb. Yeah, and then they pushed it into the pit, and that's when it died. Then it took enough damage, yeah. And then you fought a centipede again. And then you got... And then here it all racks. Yeah, yeah, some wildly weird rats. Eldritch rats. Yeah, and then you went down the hallway and fought a pendulum trap. And upgraded my thorn whip. Yeah, I have fun. It gets a cool thorn whip upgrade.
And then you made your way into the room and fought another centipede. Well, wait, hang on. We needed a key. We went all the way back to the breastplate to find the key. And then it came back and it opened the door. Mm-hmm. We also found a chest in the Pentagon room that we didn't see the first time through. It had a decanter of endless water that Fauna has now and a rope of climbing that Meriwether has, but she doesn't know exactly what it is yet. We also have cagtums, cagtums, ointment.
Some ointment. And a potion of healing. And then we went through the door, fought another centipede. It's out for a long time and then I found a hidden chest Fauna broke my weaving needle trying to open it until we remembered we had the key and the chest was also opened by that key I was just one of your needles right?
I don't know how many needles come in a weaving kit I don't know either I don't think we need different sizes, maybe I'll have to talk to old Dave and get a replacement but uh anyway We got gold and a potion and pill giant strength in that. And that's the rest of what I have. Becca, did I miss anything? I think you got all the things that I very key had that we went back and found all of these other things. Okay, so you guys are in a room with an unconscious centipede and two doors
that seem... I don't know that you've checked them yet. We haven't. Right, yeah, I think we just entered this room, or we knew we could enter this room, and that's where we stopped. So what are you doing? Let me look at the map and see where these doors are. They're on the west side, west wall. Are they both on the west wall? Yeah. Or in this room? Yeah. All right, I'm going to go to the door to the north. Okay. Listen. Listen for anything I can hear. Hi or hello? Hi. Okay.
You hear... Hold up, hold up. Not going anywhere. Hold up, hold up. You hear a sound you've heard before. Is it raps? No. Is it centipede? No. Is it that dragging club on the ground from that guy at the beginning? Sure sounds like it. Okay. I'm going to go to the other door and I'm going to listen to that one. You know, the same thing, and you catch a little whiff from before it sinks. Is it louder over here? If I'm smelling things now?
Not necessarily. I'm going to test if the door is locked, but not open it. It is stuck. What about the other one? Also stuck. Okay. The one you tried first looks like a strong... Wooden door and the, the, the Southern door is a strong wooden door. The Northern door is which calls it. Sorry. I'm trying to find the monster. Have a look in under magical. I don't sense why I'm not finding it. The Northern one is just like a regular, it's a good wooden door.
I'm going to turn to Fana and Meriwether and tell them what I've discovered. Hey, guys, you remember that thing that was really scary at the beginning of this dungeon? Oh, yeah. I think there's another one behind both of these doors, and the doors seem stuck for now. Stuck? I'm gonna go over and just, like, push against it. I don't know that we should do that. You push against it? Give me a push check, I guess. Strength? Yeah.
One. Not natural. Yeah, that did not do anything. You made a little noise. Yeah, that door's stuck for sure. How loud are you talking, Fauna? Because Flora was trying to be quieter. Yeah, I feel like I'm not the type of character who would be quiet unless you remind me to be quiet. And a one probably is not. Even though not natural. It's not going to not alert it. I meant for talking volume. My vote is leave the doors where they are and move onward.
All right. I mean, we've gone backwards before, so for all we know, we're going to have to come back through here in order to leave this place. Yeah, I don't really want to fight another one of those things. And I would think you wouldn't either, as Fauna is still dripping blood, I assume. I'm still at three health, so yeah, I assume so.
Gonna backtrack to the door where we came into the room you hear a loud knock on this door the door that i was headed toward no oh from the one that i tried to push i'm gonna keep back in toward the door okay i'm following two the door look not great and all of a sudden like card one of the like door yeah the stop door looks like you know if if it was made up of planks right a few of the planks in one corner are gone and you can see this thing's face,
it's just like the first thing you fought in this dungeon how far is it from us because this is a pretty small room so if we're over by the other door we're only like 15 feet away right yeah Can I try to thorn whip it in the face? What's the range on thorn whip? 30 feet. Okay. Yeah, sure. I'm going to yell back, foul creature. That's an eight to hit. Eight does not hit. No kidding. The size of this grid. Is it the little squares that are five feet or the bigger squares?
I'm just doing the bigger squares is five feet. Ooh, that. Sorry, that was a notification on the phone. Oh, weird. Okay. So you miss and we're going to roll initiative. Good. Oops. I feel your, it was probably coming for us anyway. Not if we had gotten out that door. Do I still add my initiative score to a nat one for initiative? Yeah. All right. FYI, this is a different die. So it looks like we're off to a great start tonight. So what'd y'all get? 10 13, three.
Okay. So it is going to swing again at the door, natural 20. Will definitely be enough to break the door we'll see what it is though yeah the door flies off and splinters and each one of you takes wow when we get to just to dodge it you guys don't forget, i told you all i have the healing potion of a pocket yeah we picked up another one too we will split the damage so it is one damage apiece. Oh good.
So that too. Still left. Yeah. And it is going to move into you guys' faces and make a stinky roar. I feel like I should have picked a weapon better than a sickle. Kayla had a 13, right? Yeah. Wait, she only got my button. You can lock it. Floor out of three, or four out of three, floor out of what? Ten. Ten, okay. Now I got it. The lock or the score? So it is now in your faces, and it is Mary Weatherstone. Spellcasting is at disadvantage within five feet. How close is he? Up in your faces.
So within five feet. Yeah. so you said magic would be disadvantage if it's like spell hit yes it'd be disadvantage so like a firebolt would be disadvantage ranged can I do chill touch, is that a con save or a spell attack spell attack spell attacks are ranged attacks so they are at disadvantage within melee range Thank you.
¶ The Haunted Doors
I guess I'll use my dagger then Okay Go to stab Yeah With a 17 to hit Yeah that hits And 6 damage 6 damage Okay Not looking for 8 And then next is Flora Question Yeah If Corndawn's gonna attack Is he on my initiative Yeah Okay, Because he's like right with me. Yeah, he gets a multi-attack. So I'm going to let him go and then I'll take a turn. Okay. So he's going to bite. All his attacks are obviously melee. That's a nat one. That's a miss. And then he's going to claw.
Nat one. It's a miss. What the heck? One in 400 chance. I guess. Okay. I'm also going to use a dagger because he's too close to me or disengages in action, isn't it? Yep.
I'm going to disengage. Okay. Okay. Abandon my friends and run through the door so i'm just gonna step back out of range, i guess it would have to be away from the door a little bit but i'm gonna step back 15 feet from him and i think that's all i can do because i don't really have bonus actions that would basically be across the room because you guys are by the door and he's right up on you, yeah i mean coming down like here, Straight down from the door. Yeah.
Okay. Fauna? Don't worry, guys. I've got this. It's right on me, too. Melee? Yeah. It's on all three. Well, not Flora anymore. I'm still just because... Now, I know what the smart decision is metagaming, but I feel like the Fauna decision is she's going to try to thorn whip it again because it didn't work the first time. Yeah. And so at disadvantage, that's an eight again. Yeah. So we're going to saw. Yeah, it's a distance spell, so. Okay. Yeah. So that's a miss. It is now its turn.
There's three of you within range of it. Yeah. Corndog is within range. Oh, shoot. I was going to say I scooped him up, but now it's too late. So one is Meriwether. Two is Fauna. Three is Corndog. No. Three. Corndog. I'm sorry. Gonna roll to hit. That's 11 to hit. Miss. Okay. Oh, he only gets one swing. Oh, thank goodness. It's just multiple damages on a swing. He misses Corndog. Just barely. I guess he was swinging too high. Not really, just barely.
Yeah, I know. Corndog's probably got a low AC. 13. Yeah. Pretty low. He's about the same as the rest of us. Yeah, that's true. So he failed. Meriwether, it's your turn again. I will stab him again. Okay. Roll to stab. With an add 20. Okay. That is going to hit. I'm sorry, Mike. I rolled the dice twice and added once. Okay. You roll whatever the damage die are, and you roll double the damage die that you would normally roll, and then add whatever you would add once.
Okay. So, like, you would, if it's, I think it's a d4, you would roll 2d4, and then add your dex modifier once. Okay, I just wanted to make sure that's the way you did it. And that's 9. 9? Okay. He falls over.
Dead yeah like dead yeah and like stinky dead stinky what does stinky dead he's smelly he's very smelly yeah he's dead dead behind that door now i'm gonna walk right over and through the broken door there was a part of me that thought there were two in there because i heard the sound at both gates no it's just okay you'll you'll see but we didn't we didn't know if it was two separate rooms, you know, we can't see the map. So I'm also going to say, corn dog, come here, please.
Fauna, make an investigation check in the room. Finally a decent roll. 18. Okay. And by room, of course, I mean hallway. Yeah, I guess now it's a hallway. Yeah. And if you went around the stronger door, that's probably where it was like. Bathrooming, which is why I would have smelled more there. And do I want, we'll go with three, I'll throw a fourth one on there. So I'm going to roll this and we'll decide which table I roll on to see what she gets.
That's table four. You're rolling to decide the table and then rolling to decide the treasure. Yeah. I mean, I'm not going crazy with the tables, but... Pick up a potion of longevity. Interesting. So it can reduce your age. Yeah. So likely reduce any of your ages down to 13. Yeah. I was going to say, we're probably so young. If you drink any other potions of longevity, there's 10% cumulative chance that you instead age 1d6 plus six years.
Suspended in this Amber liquid are a scorpion's Tail, an adder's fang A dead spider And a tiny heart that Against all reason is still beating The ingredients vanish when The potion is opened Wait, say that once more So the inside of the Suspended in the amber liquid are a scorpion Tail, adder's fang, dead Spider, tiny heart That against all reason is still beating And whenever you, when you open the potion to drink it, the ingredients vanish.
So I guess anybody with arachnophobia would not be freaked out by this potion. Would be freaked out. Would not. Because the spider disappears once you open it. But you can see it before you open it. That's true. I guess it's like when you put a bottle or something over top of a spider and then you lift the bottle and the spider's gone. That's horrifying. That makes it worse. It does. So that's what you find in this room. All right.
¶ Treasure and Traps
I come out and show them the potion. Look, another potion. Not a health one, though. I don't think I want to drink that. You don't like splatter juice? None of that looks very appetizing. No. I'm going to start making my way back to the door again. Mm-hmm. Okay. You're back at the door. Back outside, dodging pendulums. Well, Broken Pendulum. Mm-hmm. Okay, you're back in the hallway where you fought the rats. No more rats, right? No more rats.
Okay, I'm going to continue down the hall. Okay, you continue down the hall. Again, very well-cut stone. Would look pretty difficult to climb. Not far down the hall, like 10, 15 feet, is a branch off of this hallway. It goes up to what looks kind of like a dead end and it turns south or right from your direction into another hallway. Like there's anything at the end of that end from where I'm standing. No. I'm gonna stop right before the turn and peek around. Okay.
And are we high or low? High. Okay. You don't want a monster? No. Okay, no monsters are down the hallway. Jeez. You guys are following me, right? Yeah. Wait, why am I leading? You're the one with health. Because you kind of just started knocking. I guess that's fair. I guess I'm going to turn down the hallway. The new hallway. Okay. You head down the hallway. I am being careful and checking for traps as I go. Yeah. Seems pretty clear, as far as you can tell.
Okay. I guess I make it to the end of that T. Yep. You reach the T. I'm going to peek left and right. Uh-huh. What do I see? You see, to the left, you see a stream of oil across the corridor. And further past that, it looks like the hallway is, like, descending slightly. And then to the right, you see it, not a dead end, but what would you call it? A curve? Not a curve. A bend, a turn. Well, I've had enough oil after visiting the dragon friend. So I'm going to go toward the turn. Okay.
So you head towards the turn. Hi, Rowell. Hi. It's a monster, is it? Is it a centipede? It is a... It is four more lost, desperate warrior goblins. That looked pretty exhausted. Then I turn back to Fauna and Meriwether and say, Hey, we got some more lost goblows. I love making friends. You want to go talk to them? Sure. Step back and let Fauna... I can't even keep our names straight. I'll let Fauna go ahead now. Hey, hey, goblin friends. Are you with the party that was back the other direction?
Are they dead? No, we helped them defeat that, uh, breastplate they were trapped by. They're all okay now. Scared, but okay. Did you kill them? No! We told them to come with us, but they didn't seem to want to. No, you can go back and find them yourselves. We made friends with them. What do you mean, go back? Is that the way you came from? Where did you come from? How'd you get down here? I came from this way. They point towards the room. Ahead.
Do you know these other goblins? Is this where they came from too? We came from outside or inside. Well, I kind of figured you didn't live here. Are you dungeon explorers just like us? And he throws like his... It's like... It's a sharpened shovel, but he thinks it's an axe. He throws it up on his shoulder pretty proudly, and... Yeah, I've killed many a centipede. Man, isn't adventuring so much fun? Except for that armor thing. And those stumper things.
You say it got the other goblins? Trapped them. Trapped them. Oh, yeah. It trapped them, and we were able to escape, and we thought they were dead, so we were going to move on with life. Well, you can safely go back and get them. Like I said, we tried to get them to follow us, but they didn't seem to want to. How do we get... Well, we came from this way, and he points in towards the room. I point the way we came. Just follow this. That's not... There's nothing out alive between here and there,
so... It's not going to help find them easily. There's a bunch of turns. Show them the map. Oh, yeah, I guess we do have a map, don't we? So I'll pull out the map and show them. So here's where you are. And here's where they are. I'll point. That's pretty far. Nah, seems further than it is. He points on the map and he like traces up into the room. And then in the bottom left corner of the room, he's like, there's a door, but it won't get to the goblins.
That's how we got here from the goblins. We are the goblins. Wait, what?
Yeah. yeah wait were you fighting the armor yeah you think centipedes did this to us, wait did we already knew you managed your other goblin friends abandoned i mean okay yeah, oh oh oh but we'll go back we'll go back for them yeah i thought you do that this was the same group of goblins no it's not the same group that would be funny though that would be fun, But shame on you for not recognizing them if they were the same group of goblins.
Yeah, I know. That's why I was going to feel bad. But okay. Now, this is another group of goblins. I think there were five in the other room. There's four here. There's a little more banned. I thought it was different, but like, still. Yeah, we're not going to go back the way you guys came. You guys came the long way around. We'll wait until you clear out the next room, and then we'll just go back to our friends. Why do I feel like I'm not seeing where they're pointing to,
Mike? It's probably a secret door. Okay, so it's like they know about and we don't. Yeah. So it's in that square room. That's right below the hallway where we just killed the creature. But they're pointing towards the left where it would be close to that room? They're pointing towards the left where, like, one block would connect the room you're in, you're about to be in, to the room where the... So, like, that's the Pentagon room? No, not the Pentagon room. You're too high. Oh.
So you came out of the room with the U? Yeah. You went up, you went over, you went down. Yep. You came over, and you're like a little bit up towards the start of that square room by that door. So they're not pointing to the far left of that room. They're pointing to the far left of that square room on the map. We didn't go in the room, did we? No. I thought we were just in the hallway. Yeah, you're just in the hallway. Yeah, we are. But we have the map pulled out.
Oh, oh. So they're pretty, like, to where it would connect to the path that, or the hallway that leads directly into that pentagon room? No, it kind of, but in the big rectangle room. The room below the pentagon. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah, bottom left, not top left. Oh, bottom left. For some reason, yeah, I was looking at top left. I'm like, why do you keep talking about pentagon room? I was very confused. Yeah, for some reason, my brain said top when you said bottom.
Yeah, no, this is the bottom left. So it kind of connects directly into the room where the other goblins are and we're kind of almost right where that armor originally was when you first entered that room. But now it's in the pit. Right. Okay. Perfect. Well, I mean, if you think there's a path there, I'm looking at our map where there isn't anything marked at all. Then I guess, yeah, go for it. Go check it out. Go get your goblins. Yeah. After you. Okay.
Well, okay. Are you going to help us fight something if it's in here? Maybe. I feel like my friend's like, yeah, this is real reassuring, but sure, I'm not the one dripping blood here. I'll step to the front again so that you don't have to face whatever it is first. Like I haven't rushed in. I'll push you out of the way so you don't rush in. Okay. Door, you hear a dragging sound.
¶ Goblins and Secrets
Well, there's something in here, something dragging something. Open the door. Okay. You see something slightly bigger than what you just thought. And you see a pile of feet in the middle of the room and like there's a shaft in the center of the room that goes up and you can just slightly see some daylight. Is it an animal trap? And then they eat whatever falls in? I don't know. Could be an animal trap. Could be a, you know, a feeding pit of some sort.
Or, you know, something. Something gross. I closed the door. Okay. Why don't you close the door? There's something big and nasty in there. It's not that big. I'm sure you can take it. Look how far you came in here. Look how small I am.
You look perfectly normal size to me that's true we're the same size pretty much yeah now you are because they count as small yeah does corndog react corndog doesn't really care about all right so none of my chickens actually care about anything is what i'm getting, well this is also a chicken from hell yeah looks at you well guys what do you want to do Fauna, Merriweather? Well, um, I'm processing. We don't need to escort them the whole way, right? What do you mean? The goblins all the way?
I meant about fighting this thing in here, so they can get back. I mean, we told them there's something in here now. No, we should kill it. We did offer to help. Yeah, you can help. I invite you to dispatch it. Well, let's go see what we can do. I mean, I have all these great attack spells. Yeah, I think you three are very powerful. Four. Four. Thank you. Don't forget, corndog is basically as strong as us. What's a corndog?
I hold up the abyssal chain. Oh. It basically fits in my hand is what I'm guessing since it's tiny. It's about a quarter. It's about half your size. Oh. Would have been cuter.
Tiny is four tinies fit in one medium square fine so it's probably the size of a cat, all right so just to confirm the thing in this room is the same thing just bigger that we just thought yeah i'm gonna take out one of my magic eggs put it in the slingshot open the door and launch it at the thing okay go ahead and roll your attack, Dirty 20? Yeah, that hits. Max damage, 10. Okay. Give me just a second. It does not look good.
I release popcorn. I release corndog into the room. And now I assume we're rolling initiative. Oh. Sorry. Looking for... What would it be? Wouldn't everyone roll? Six. Six. Eighteen. 11. 11. Okay, first is Fauna. All right. Was not expecting that. So how far in front of me is it here? You said it was like in the middle of the room. Yeah, it's about the middle of the room. Okay. So 30 feet should hit it. Yeah, the middle of the room would be about 15, 20 feet diagonal. Okay.
Fauna's determined, since she did such a cool thing with this thorn whip, to actually hit something with it. He's going to try again. Okay. Fifteen. That just barely hits. I'm going to do seven damage here, because I think you auto-updated it, so it's showing the damage. Yep. Yep, so seven piercing. Okay. And then it's going to go... Just to be clear, when I ran into the room with the slingshot, I did step out of the way of the door, so I'm not blocking anything.
Mm-hmm, so what you're saying is it's going to march up to Fauna's face?
Pulled 10 feet so it's close to fauna it's probably also close to me yeah okay i forgot it gets pulled you're right yep so lena you're one becca's two unfortunately becca lost this one oh good at least she's got a couple health potions on her yep and good berries do it may not get me right oh she might not no i don't have any good berry okay that's that spell right now i think gotcha i think a 21 is gonna hit oh yeah yeah that'll hit and that's gonna be.
Six plus four ten damage yeah she's down yeah i'm definitely down it has to be double your health to permanently kill you right how much damage would be so it's going to be eight points over what health i have my max health is 10 so it's going to take away two points and then it's going to do eight more points correct it would have to do it would have had to do 12 points of damage to kill you in that hit okay that's what i thought just making sure you definitely saw the afterlife,
Yeah, didn't realize it was going to be quite that strong Yeah, next is Flora, Alright, first, since I'm still near Fauna I'm going to grab that healing potion and I'm going to jam it at her mouth Okay, that's going to be the action to do that Yeah. So Fauna, that's 2d4 plus 2? I can never remember what a healing potion is 2d4 plus 2 and you're, It doesn't matter which one of you rolls. You feel any luck? I should have given the way my rolls have been going. 2d4 plus 2. Okay.
I'll roll a crystal and a spike. That's 6 plus 2. You get 8 back. Well, it's back to max health. I did mark off one of my health potions because you took one out of my pocket, I assume. Yes, I did. And now I'm going to direct Popcorn to attack. Okay. Popcorn will attack. Biting. And that one... What? What's wrong with this chicken? And now claws. Thank goodness. 22. 22 hits. Finally. Finally. Max damage, 8 slashing. It falls to the floor. Is it dead? Oh, yeah. Oh, thank goodness.
Good job, corn dog. Did I say popcorn? I meant corndog. Well, I didn't say that hard. Fauna, you feel any differently about that? I mean, I was out of it for a bit. Thanks for pulling me back up. Anytime. Even better than before, though, and most of my cuts are gone, or at least healed up at the moment. And right behind you, kind of marching past you, are all the goblins. Yeah, that tracks.
And they walk towards that corner of the room, and you see them, like, touch the wall, and the wall pivots almost on a centerpiece, and they disappear on the other side. It's your classic rotating wall, like you'd find in many haunted houses. I understand.
Notes you guys doing anything in the room yeah see if there's anything of interest like we found in the other rooms like some chest or something else yeah yeah i want to do the same investigate, yeah i want to look around okay i'm glad you guys are looking i got four 17 okay. Hold on i kind of love that this monster just got mauled by an abyssal chicken cloth.
You say 18? Yes. Yeah, in the mess of the monster, you see, in the mess of the monster and the meat, the meat may have been its treasure pile. You see about 130 gold. It is very gross. I don't care. Well, I guess also I could say, well, Meriwether, can you just clean this stuff up and we can pick it all up? Yes. Okay. That's exactly what I know. Using Prestidigitation, you're able to clean the area, but the meat is still mating, and the area will soon fill back up with...
I start grabbing the gold out as fast as I can. Okay. Give me a sleight of hand check. Fifteen. You're able to get a good amount of the gold, but it covers, the rest is covered back up with viscera and grossness. And Meriwether, I'll do the same thing after she cleans it again. Okay, give me another sleight of hand check. Thirteen. Yeah, you're almost, you're almost done. All right, I think we do need one more Meriwether. And I do it. Okay, give me a sleight of hand check.
Twelve. Yeah, you're able to get the rest of the gold out. Alright. Uh, don't worry, guys. I have a running amount of what we've been getting. When we get out of here, I'll split it up between all of us. I think we split the 150 already, didn't we? Uh, one of them, I crossed it out of my nose. The other ones that I don't have crossed out, I know we still need to split. Okay. I'll let you keep track of that then. I just remembered adding some.
No, you are correct on that. Um, but there was other gold that we got to. This was 130, right? Did I hear that right? Yeah, it was 130. 130 gross gold. Divided by threes. It's not gross gold. I don't want to deal with it when we get out of here because I haven't read a Cali of the other gold too yet. Yeah, that's probably easiest. So I assume you'll just stick it in your bag of holding for now. Yep. So the goblins disappeared through the spinning wall door.
So we know we can leave that way. And there's another door in the room. I guess I'm going to go down to that one next. Yeah, I don't think it's good to know that the Goblins got out that way so we can take a shortcut and skip some of this on the way back. Yeah. There's no point in backtracking right now. We need to go forward, see what else is in this dungeon. You want to just mark it on the map so we know we can go back that way? Yeah, sure. I'll make a mark on it.
You doing what now? Listening at the other door. Okay. Give me a perception check. Hmm. Hang on. I don't remember. I'm in the modifier. It's a 10. Okay. You don't really hear anything. I look back at my friends and I go, it seems clear. It also seems a lot. I'm going to carefully open the door. Sorry. Is that a pete in my face? No. 16 would do it, right? Fairly. You take one damage, and you are poisoned. Is that a trap? Give me a con save to see if you're poisoned.
Oh, yeah, I'm poisoned. That's a buy. Okay, yeah, you're poisoned. As someone else lead, I'm going to run to the bathroom. Okay. I'm going to drop back. As you drop back, the door starts to close. I'm going to stick my foot out to keep it open. Okay. Crowley's smart. Crowley's smart. And so you, Flora is holding the trapped door open, likely preventing it from resetting. So I had to run through while she's doing that, just because I do notice that
that's likely what's happening. Okay. And you run through? Merriweather? I'll go with them. Okay. And then we could probably assume Flora follows you through the door with popcorn, or not popcorn, corn dog. Yeah. Looks like, looks like a clear hallway, except for, of course, that trap that just fired, but you don't really see where it's coming from. Hmm. Can I look to see if I noticed where the trap is? Uh, yeah. Give me a perception or reinvestigation.
12. No, sorry. 15. Yeah. You can see where that trap was coming from. You also see down the hallway, another similar looking trap. This one has like, what looks like condensation around the opening. Can I put a hand near it? See if it feels cool. You would have to go down the hallway to do that. Okay. That's right. I'm like, that's down to the hall. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, it's about, we're, we're going where you guys are, let's say 30 feet away.
Okay. Can I point out where the trap is to everybody? so maybe we can kind of keep to the side so it doesn't hit us. Which one? I guess both I'm going to point to and carefully try to walk down the hall avoiding anything that might trigger. So you guys are going to, like, hug the wall? That's what I'm going to recommend to everyone. Okay. And I'm on the lookout for more traps, possibly. Sure. So you're within about 30 feet of this icy trap.
I guess with a 15, you've probably also noticed that it seems you don't see any, like, mechanical triggers. So it could be like a visual trigger or like a magical trigger of some sort. You don't think, you think shuffling along the hall would avoid the poison dart, but it might not avoid whatever this one is. Okay.
Keep being diligent is it like is it at eye level chest level, it's like it's coming out of the ceiling which is why it probably hasn't triggered seeing you yet or magicing you yet whatever triggers it so this one might trigger when we go under it we might want to try to put something to trigger before we pass it, do we have any like rocks or anything on us yet, Or is there rocks in this tunnel? I know you said it's all very smooth and well-worn and stuff,
but it's a rock? There's no rocks in this tunnel. I think one of you has centipede pieces. Flora does. Flora has centipede pieces. What do I need centipede pieces for? They your flora fauna has believes that if you guys toss something down the hallway you might be able to trigger the trap and run by there's another trap i assume i came through after they did yep i'll. And try to throw it down to trigger the trap.
Okay. Give it a throw. I'll let you use your dexterity modifier. That's nice of you. Fifteen? Fifteen? Mm-hmm. Yeah. It lands about 20 feet away from you, a little bit shy, but then it kind of slides across the ground, and you see an icy arrow shoot out of this trap at the leg and blast it to bases. Cool. Sorry about Corndog's food there. I'm sure we can get some more.
¶ The Wand of Secrets
That's true. There don't seem to be a shortage of centipedes in here. How many arrows do you think are in this trap? Can we look up to see if it looks like it's ready to fire again? Give me an investigation check. Everyone or just her? Whoever's looking at it. Thirteen. Fourteen. Uh, uh, 13. Seems empty for now. Quick. I think we can make it. Let's go. I'm going to run across. I'm holding corndog and I'm going to run across. Okay. So you guys run across and you reach a locked door.
Of course. Why wouldn't there be another door in this hall of doors? Oh, wait a minute. Check out the keywords. Go for it. Break another needle. Who's got the key? I thought you did. Okay. I will open the door, I hope, with the key. Seems to work. Is there only one?
This whole place or is this a master key they were cheap yeah they might not have changed the locks from when they bought them at the hardware store how do master keys work they're just well master keys work by having the right combination to open any of the locks that are keyed that way, right within the building whereas this is probably more likely every lock is keyed exactly the same because they weren't blackly cheap.
Okay, well, the door opens. They must have spent all their money on the stone, what do you call the stonework? Masonry? Yeah, on the masonry. You open the door? Open the door. Okay, and roll initiative. How fun. Should have thought through that. Oh, good. That's a seven. Beat me, I got a six. I mean, I only rolled a three. So we got six seven eight perfect okay who got what now i have six i have seven.
Okay so you open the door and shambling towards you is a creepy monster different from yep oh boy scary it's a violent ever hungry monster that squats in the shallow depths yeah that sounds scary it's in a constant state of war that sounds like trauma, okay so it is and this looks possibly undead well we're gonna un-undead it so it is hobbling towards you. Let me just get it to AC real quick.
Oh, there it is. Okay. So it's hobbling towards you, towards the group, and it should be able to basically get up on the group. Does it go first? Yeah, it goes first. It's going to swing its great club. Two mary weather's three that's what is that one that's a one that's a flora that's a flora, flora it's gonna swing at you 13 to hit that's a miss oh and then it's also going to bite, try and bite 19 to bite are you sad that you're you missed at first Damn.
You guys often kill my things pretty quick. That's fair. But we're all so squishy. That's true. But if I don't get one thing off, I don't get anything off, it seems. I mean, you took me down. That's true. Five, like, piercing damage. How does that make you look? Like I'm less than half health. So bloodied.
That's an ouchie. Mm-hmm. uh meriwether it's your turn um how far away are we within melee range basically, magic yay magic night you can do magic it's just a disadvantage unless it's like a save a magic save then that's normal that's their problem about yours.
Um i feel like causing some chaos okay so i'm guessing you're chaos bolting yeah okay let me just make sure i do this again i feel like i always have to read this okay hold on beep oh another, look at me go okay that definitely hits that definitely hits um wait you said disadvantage so i have to roll again yeah i'm gonna make you re-roll the nat 20 i'm not making you re-roll the nat 20 i'm making you roll disadvantage you just lied to me and said you had an nat 20.
I was so excited mike i know i'm on yeah that still hits not as good as the nat 20. No, it's not as good as a nap morning. Um, okay. So that is 2d8. And that is... So it's going to be... Psychic damage. How much? Ten. Ten psychic damage, okay. And that's your turn? Yeah. How does it look? It looks okay. I don't like this thing. Flora? Oh, wait. I... Never mind. Never mind. Okay. Flora? Let's start with Corn Dog. Okay. Corn Dog is going to bite first and ask questions later. Okay.
No, he's not. It's only a six. Okay. Let's try a different one for the claws. Okay, okay. He's good with his claws. That is 23. That hits. And then that will be four slashing. Okay. Flora is going to scoop up Corndog and disengage. Okay. And run back down the hall. Okay. Fauna? This thing looks like... For fire possibly so i'm going to at disadvantage try to fire bolt it okay uh 15 just misses darn yeah does it look concerned at all at the fire that just barely misses it.
Not really okay it's pretty moist but it's not like not like it would not be affected by the fire but that it's not terrified of the fire gotcha it is now its turn and there are two of you in front of it so fauna is one merriweather's two fauna i'm sorry it's going to swing at you, and that's gonna miss and then it's gonna bite at you i don't know if that hits 11 Misses. Okay, that misses. So it misses twice. And then it is Meriwether's turn. Okay. I'm going to chill touch.
Oh, whoops. Sorry, I was rolling two dice, because I'm using the app. That's an 18 to hit. That hits. And that is Oh, max damage Eight Eight damage It's not looking great, Finally Laura And then a magic egg slingshot in his face Okay And then a bag all over his face Hopefully Oh, Eleven That does not hit Will that be all? No Corndon's gonna, Mm-hmm. An attack. Okay. So bite. Corndog is very bad at biting. That's a miss. Mm-hmm.
And then with the claws, he's not so bad with the claws. That's a 19. That hits. And that's going to be five slashing. Okay. It is really not looking good. Florida? One of these days, my spells are going to go off. And I try to firebolt him again because I'm just stubborn. Okay. Okay. Yeah i was gonna miss 12 yeah not quite not quite high enough he is going to swing again.
So that's out of three of you so fauna's one merryweather's two corndog's three that's a three, i'm sorry why does everything make corndog i don't know even though he is just slashing everything What was his AC? Thirteen. Okay. That's going to hit. Mm-hmm. Five damage. Okay. And he's going to bite at someone who is number two. That was Merriweather. Six plus three. Nine does not hit, does it? No. Not unless your dump stat was dex. Okay.
So that misses. is that is his turn corn dogs at half health uh-huh and so that was his turn next is merriweather, i'll chill touch again okay maybe 14 14 does not hit, flora that's it magic egg magic egg she wants to feel unhappy i'll try this one again Nope, that's not. It is 13. That does not hit. Abyssal Chicken is gonna squawk, disengage, and run back to Flora. Okay. Fauna. Alright, you said it's not looking too great, right? Not really. We just suck at hitting it.
Yeah, okay. In that case, she's decided she's gonna try the thorn whip, because at least she's hit something tonight. And that's going to miss as well. Okay. It is it without the disadvantage I would have hit with these. Yeah. It is its turn and go even fauna, uh, Meriwether even fauna it's going to miss. Yeah, and then a bite. I'm probably going to hit with a 16. Yes. Okay, the bite is five piercing. Okay. And then it's Merriweather's turn. I'm going to try to chill touch it again. Okay.
15. Nope, that doesn't hit. Egg. Flora. I'm down to two eggs, so let's make this good. 14. Nope. Ah, man. The abyssal chicken's not gonna do anything. Okay. I'm just gonna warn you. Fauna's the next one, and then it's it again. Alright, I'll send the abyssal chicken. Because the chances that someone doesn't die in the next round are low. Alright, bite. Okay. Bite. That 20. Okay. It's only a d4 for a bite. Yeah, but that's 2d4. That's 8 from the bite. Yeah. It is deceased.
I guess Snowclaws. He's going to scratch it just because. Okay. Spite. Spite. Maybe, guys, we could take a short rest. Yeah, that doesn't sound like too bad of an idea.
¶ A Short Rest
I mean, this dungeon's been different than the last few adventures we've been on. Alright, so I have one... We have one hit die, right? So we're level one. I'm gonna use it. You guys gonna secure the door at all? Yeah. What? Just roll your hit die and your common modifier. 1d10 plus 2. Yes, we would have secured the door. Okay. Okay. 1d10 plus 2, I get 4. Can Corndog heal at all? Yeah, I'll get... He starts with 10, and his rolls are d4s to get the hit points. He can roll 1d4.
Okay thank you benevolent dm thank you the important party member he's back up to eight out of ten i'm up to nine out of twelve i'm up to nine out of ten how are you doing merriweather, i'm still good i have sex out of seven i can't believe you only have seven that's being a sorcerer for i know it's not weird for me all right so everyone did their hit dice for their short rest i don't think we have any more short rests so that was kind of it but i feel like we're getting close to the
end of this dungeon but we have the map so we know that yeah we're pretty far because we're on that far right room now the rectangle right yeah that's where the undead thing was okay which side of the door did we short rest on inside the room or in the hall i assumed in the room okay okay i didn't specify it was in the hall you were gonna have to deal with an ice arrow possibly okay i will investigate this room now okay give me an investigation.
Six yeah you don't really find much this room's boring you know other than that dead thing i mean let me double check that you're not missing something not that i don't trust you but but you don't trust me yeah investigation that's a 17 okay uh we'll see Well, keep getting good rolls tonight, eh? What do you want? And the DN gets good rolls. It's dangerous. This is a potion of vitality. It removes any exhaustion you are suffering and cures any disease or poison affecting you.
For the next 24 hours, you regain the maximum number of hit points for any hit die you spend. The potion's crimson liquid regularly pulses with dull light, calling to mind a heartbeat. Am I no longer poisoned at this point? Must be rested. I don't know for a double check. Poison. I feel like they usually last like either an hour or like a D4 when it's a trap. I guess, did you get the condition poisoned or? Condition. It was the condition. Okay. Yeah, the poison's gone by now. Okay. That's good.
Okay. Merriweather, were you also searching or are you good? No, I'm searching too. Okay. Fauna, what was your search again? Give me the number. It was a 17. Okay. And Meriwether? 18. Okay. You both seem to understand that the next door, which is unlocked, is iron. And every unlocked door that looks strong that you've come across so far has been trapped. I think we need to double check this door before just going through it.
Can we look for the trap? Sure. Give me a, like an investigation with advantage. 17. Okay. Anyone else? Yeah. I'll investigate it. Also with advantage or, you know, yeah. Probably cause we're starting to get to know what type of traps to look for in this place. 13. That's a 16. Okay. You know, there's trap on this door somewhere. Or maybe not on the door, but associated with the door. But you're not quite sure. All right. So we've seen things shoot when we've opened doors.
We've seen pits open underneath us. How should we try to open this one while keeping our distance? Is there like a door handle? Yeah. Is it one that like... It's just like a ring. It's a ring? Yeah. Should we tie a rope to it? That's not a bad idea. I'll pull out a piece of rope. Okay. Carefully approach and tie it. How close? Huh? How close do you approach? I'm going to, like, reach to tie. So I'm small. Mm-hmm. So I'm probably within five feet at the door. Yeah. I probably shouldn't do that.
Give me a dexterity saving throw. Hmm. Thirteen. Okay. Okay, so as you start to tie, as you reach this, like, handle, getting ready to tie, you're able to, like, draw part of the rope through the handle, and the floor drops out from under you. Am I still holding the rope? You're holding, like, either side of the rope over the... The door handle. Mm-hmm. And I say, well, that was lucky. How far down are you? Are you okay? I'm fine. I'm gonna look down.
You're just hanging from the... You're pretty close to the door, like the handle. But, let's see. It's 10 feet down, just like the first one. Could be worse. I'm going to start swinging to see if I can just pull the door open with my body weight. Yeah. You can get it to, like... It's going to take a couple swings. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So I... Even, like, wedge your foot against the door and, like... Or the wall. The wall.
Yeah, it makes sense. Okay, so I get the door open. What do you guys see? I'll look through the door. Okay. You guys see... Give me an investigation check. But not me, because I'm hanging from a door. Right. Sixteen. You see a bunch of tiny rats running around. We got more rats. I don't like that. They're tiny rats, you say? Yeah. Do you want us to pull you back up before we do anything else? Have your arms. I either need to swing into the room or back onto the floor.
That'd be nice. Oh, there's rats over there. You might want to come here. Does it look like it's, now the door's open, like the last one where it's five feet across? Yeah. Okay. I think you should come back in here. Do you need a hand? That would be nice. I'm going to swing back and try and let them help me back onto the floor. I'll bring the rope with me. Sure. Give me an acrobatics check. It's not going to be the fun. That's good. Ten. Okay. If you had nat wanted, you nat wanted?
Nat wanted? Nat wanted? Nat wand? Nat wand? You would have probably fallen into the hole. So you're able to get back. Okay.
So, rats, say. mm-hmm i'm sure we can see them scurrying now the door's open oh before we go any farther, i need more magic eggs so i tap corn dog okay three more and now i'm up four again yeah he's looking a little tired but we just short rested oh yeah i didn't say what it refreshed on him that's true i said a day with the other chickens okay well this was his third yeah he's looking So these are the last, as soon as they start looking tired, that's my last magic egg for the day, that chicken.
Gotcha. Okay. I'm going to pat him on the head with my hand and go, good job, corn dog. Good job. Okay. What are you guys doing? How far away are they from us? They're wrong. So it depends on when you're talking. Okay. Can I take an aim at one with a firebolt? Sure. But they're just rats. Yeah, but in a big group like this, that's a 13. Yeah, that hits. Six fire. Yeah, it dies. Magic doesn't kill. Oh, it falls unconscious.
Should we just keep taking shots at them like this, or should we go over and slash them? Anybody else want to try? I mean, they're just rats doing what rats do. I don't really want to kill them. Well, I mean, magic, we're just knocking them unconscious. Yeah, that's what I mean. I don't want to slash at any of them. Oh, I meant slash with magic. All right. I don't really have magic. I have magic eggs. And I'm getting low. You're resentful about that. It's fireball to 21.
What's that? What'd you say? It's fireball to 21. Yeah, that hits. 10 damage. Yeah, it's dead. It's dead. Go away, it's dead. It's unconscious. Oh, unconscious. There's seven more conscious wraths. I'm just going to keep fire bolted. Okay. I like how now they all hit, by the way. Well, it's like... I've seen the hit. Yeah, that hits. This is like the first time you've shot from a distance. That's true. That's nine fire. Yeah, it's unconscious. Thanks, Dylan.
Might miss a seven yeah that misses try again 12 not quite oh wow fast rats, well just imagine you pick off all these rats yeah i was gonna say i keep going i'll just keep rolling so there's some success there's some failure but it's a lot more success than you we're used to through through a lot of the dungeon. Yeah. All right. Well, we got time while they're unconscious to get through that next room there, so let's head on in and get to the door across the other way.
All right. It is a locked wooden door. Try to keep. Wait, wait, we're in this new room. There's just a bunch of unconscious paths. I want to search the room. Okay. Search it. Search it. 23. 23? 23, 2. Okay. That's pretty good. Yeah. They did better than me. I got 16, but it's not bad. Okay. I mean, this room doesn't have a ton in it. What it does have is... Let me check. Let me check. A potion of healing. We can use that.
And like i said there's a locked door i try the key it works i before i push it open i want to listen do i hear anything sorry i figure that i'll look at you uh you're trying to listen hi or hello hi okay you hear something and that something sounds like something you've dealt with before. Multiple times. Centipede? No. Stinky guy? Stinky guy. Ow. Getting tired of this, Grandpa. That's too damn bad. Keep dungeoning. Alright, you guys ready to fight another one of these guys? I guess so.
Better do it before the rats wake up.
I'm gonna prepare an egg slingshot. Any of you guys want to go first, or you want me to surprise him i can go we can also all probably surprise something right shoot as soon as the door opens if we can see him assuming we can see him because this is a hallway we're opening into, we would know that i guess we would know that since we have a map yep all right merriweather you want to go first you don't have many points i mean you're not very i mean this sounds really.
Yeah, I mean, if somebody has to say something like that, go but if not i can go okay i think you and i are tied right now for coins right you have nine definitely keep the way i'm gonna push it open and prepare to fire a firebolt at it as soon as i see it okay you push it open and you're at the t of the intersection you don't see anything you hear often the distance a little bit dragging and shuffling is it left or the right to the left I'm going to motion them forward Okay I'm
going to point that it's out to the left Okay, And then I'm going to head that way To try to surprise it with this firebolt Are you all like Heading at the same speed to surprise it Or what I figured I was at least sticking together What does that mean Close to Like ready Same speed ready to fire Okay, so give me a stealth check, I guess. For both of us? Yep. For everybody going. Four. Nine. Okay. Roll initiative.
No, sorry. That's an eight. Eight. Was that for your stealth or for your initiative? Stealth. Okay. Give me your initiative. Initiative is four. Okay, Flora? 21. Fauna? 22. 22. Okay, so as you two come around this corner, it's pretty close to your face. Pretty close. But I'm going to let you get a range shot off since you had such high initiatives. So, Fauna? I released that firebolt that I wanted to shoot at it. Okay. 12. Wow. That hits. Oh, wow.
Yeah, these things don't have a lot of aces. Oh, good. That's for one fire damage. Okay. And Flora. I'm slinging an egg. That did not land on a face. Okay. 16. Yeah, that hits. Oh, minimum damage of five. Okay. So I've been bloodied. Corndog. Corndog is going to do what Corndog does. Mm-hmm. First try to bite. Still awful at biting. That's an eight. And then claws. I don't understand. Nineteen. To hit? Yeah. That hits. And that is three slashing.
Three slashing. Okay. It's not looking great at all, but it is its turn. And there's three of you in front of it. Flora one, Fauna two, Corn Dog three, Corn Dog three. Oh, that's probably going to hit. I'll start again. Okay. Four damage plus... What was the hit? Huh? It was a 19 plus. Oh, okay. Yeah. You didn't give me any number. You said nothing. You're just like, that's probably going to hit. Yeah. I wanted to know. It's a 19 plus something. Okay. So six damage.
The cordonade only has two left. That is its turn. Next is Meriwether. I'm going to use the crossbow. Okay. And that is 25 to hit. Yeah, that hits. Very good use. 10 damage? Yeah, it is desaste. And you're out of initiative. I want to go back and check that dead end that's listed on the map. Don't get too close, Fauna. Just look from a distance. Yeah. All right. There doesn't seem to be anything in the dead end. Just, you know, traces of that gross thing you just killed. Okay.
Yeah, I don't see anything interesting here. I'm going to pick up corndog and kind of cradle him. And I guess since corndog's laying eggs, it's probably her. Male birds can lay eggs. It's just not good. What do you mean not good? I had a male bird when I was younger, and it laid eggs, and it died the next day.
I wonder if it's a hormonal imbalance it might have been weird i don't think that's, good for corndog so corndog is a she i'm gonna pick her up and hold her and say it's a good girl that's a good girl yeah okay what are you guys doing so i guess we venture to the end of the map yeah yeah the sidewalk there's just an archway that leads into a small room can we see anything Do we see anything in this little room? Just looks like a small room with like a pedestal in the middle and some reliefs
carved into the wall. Oh, that's a relief. We needed some calm. Are you just getting a look from the DM? I got a sigh. A very dramatic sigh. Does this archway appear to be trapped at all? I don't know. I would like to check if the archway is trapped. I'll check if it's trapped. Is this because I made a bad joke? No. I don't know. That's a seven. Doesn't seem trapped to you. Does she tell us she was looking, or can I tell us she was looking? You gotta ask her.
Because she just gently stares at her dice. I was putting them on 20 side up. I think I would kind of have just been like looking around. So you probably would have been able to tell I was looking. I didn't say I was looking for traps. But just because I'm looking doesn't mean you can't. I think I'm actually just going to be like, oh, yeah, she's trying to see if there's anything interesting here.
And I'm just going to look around as well. so i'm just going to assume that if i roll super high on this i'll notice a trap and otherwise even if it would have been high enough but because i'm not specifically looking for a trap maybe i don't notice it does that make sense sure was this investigation or perception i investigated yeah investigation perfect nothing and i wouldn't have seen anything anyway because i got a four,
yeah looks looks like pretty good stonework here that's what i was going to about to say There's some nice stone here, too. Well, shall we then? I'm hurt. Okay. You guys walk through the arch. Nothing happens. Oh, thank goodness. It's just a normal archway. The door trap gets every party. It's like the boss fight in Zelda. As soon as you walk into the room, the door locks. Yeah, it's the non-trap trap.
¶ Into the Unknown
Yeah, you walk in, there's a pedestal in the middle of the room and a relief on the north and west wall. Is there anything on the pedestal? Yeah. It's what looks like a floating wand. I don't want to touch it yet. I want to look at the relief on the wall. So you see what look to be adventurers, and they're walking through dungeness areas.
And one guy is holding the wand and pointing towards what looks like a trap and another one is holding the wand and, like, jumping up and down because he found treasure. I think this is an adventurer's wand. Can you grab it? Yeah, and another one found a secret door. I'm going to start reaching for it and see if anyone stops me. Yeah, I'm going to grab her wrist.
Okay. What are you doing that for? how do we know the pedestal isn't trapped everything else was trapped why would this be trapped exactly everything else was trapped well flora is gonna check, When she says this, I sigh, and I'm also going to check for traps. Okay. All right, all right, 21. Yeah, there's no trap. I kind of, like, release my breath, and I let go of her hand. I very quickly snatch at it, so no one stops me. She's trouble. Yeah. So she snatched the wand.
Nothing happens, I assume? Yep. You have a wand of secrets Were we told that's what was in here? I don't remember Yeah This was kind of your practice dungeon Okay Yeah, I thought we were told that that was what was here But I couldn't remember for sure, Oh, right We did it We got through a dungeon What do we do now? Do we just backtrack? I start pressing on the walls to see if anything lets us out Like these secret passages that have existed Use the wand.
Oh okay does it need to be a tooth no but there does not seem to be any anything nearby darn, you gotta you gotta track man we have to backtrack guess we should get going there was a centipede left in a room it's awake now isn't it yeah well we don't we're not going all the way back that way where are you going are we take that goblet shortcut or do we go to the steps okay I thought we were going to go to the Goblin Shortcut.
What do you want to do? What steps? Those steps are just, they lead down to a poison trap that you guys didn't go into. Oh, okay. I thought they let up. No, they just go down into like another trap, a trapped corridor, like dead end. Okay. It would have been obvious because you would have seen a bunch of holes in the wall. Yeah, my plan was just to go through the spinning wall. Uh-oh.
Not go the long way yeah I'm in agreement okay so you guys go through you make it back through the spinning doorway you see all nine goblins kind of hanging out you guys know how to get back out of here you all right yeah we know do you know yeah we know you should just show us so we know you know do I realize that this means they have no idea what they're doing, Give me an intelligence check. 11. Yeah, probably. Let me roll against that. Nope. You definitely don't know.
I want to know if I know. I rolled a nat 20. Oh, none of us know. So we think they actually are just testing us. Yep. I saw, like, after everything we've been doing down here, I'm like, yeah, of course I can do this one. So I'm going to go back over to the, it was a trap door, or not a trap door, a secret door as well. that led us through to here, right? I think so, yeah. So I will repeat that to get us back into the other part of the dungeon.
I think there was something on the other side of that door. I think it was like a portcullis or something we had to hold up, right? Right. Yeah. Was there something? We were trying to get through the portcullis to get away from the breastplate, but the breastplate is dead now. No, the breastplate was on that side of the portcullis. I'll tell you what it was. So you're going back into... A ghoul was put to sleep by our magic in the room behind it, if I'm working backwards in my notes.
Yeah, so it'd probably be awake by now. Just take out the cursed ball again. I hear her say this, so I do. To be honest, I'd been about to. If our next round hadn't killed that last thing, I was like, my magic just keeps going in and out. So, yeah, ball it is, juggler ball. If it's too far away, I'm going to toss it at it. If it's kind of biased, I will just either run up or just touch it with it.
Yeah, as you run up to the portcullis, it's like there And you can just kind of reach through and touch it. Alright, I do that So we can get through Okay, you guys get through You're just heading on back Do the goblins follow us? Yeah Make yourself useful and hold up this portcullis Oh, they've already passed through the portcullis As soon as someone opened it for them Alright, we'll keep moving forward, we'll show them that we know. Yeah.
As you guys get towards the exit, like, yeah, thanks for, uh, for what? Taking care of that armor, I guess. Oh, that was all you guys. Well, I told you we knew how to get out. Yeah, you're a smart one. I didn't, you know, Chuck over here said you didn't know how to do it, and I said you did. Chuck. Yeah. I'm like rolling my eyes. It's C-H-U-Q. The, I think he's a halfling in Delicious in Dungeon is Chill Chuck. Hmm. That was immediately what I was thinking of. Hmm.
He's angry because everyone tweets him like he's a child, but he's a full-grown man. Hmm. Yeah. Kind of likes your character. You talking about Selina or Flora? Flora. Okay. Are you serious? Who's your other child? I don't know the tall people, sometimes, maybe. Do you tall people treat me like a child? Well, they've known you since you were a child, so probably not. But people who haven't might. I never know. Tall people, am I right? Anyway, we're getting out. Okay. Where are you guys going?
Back to our homes. Hmm. Don't you have homes? Yeah, we have homes. Inside. Inside. Did they roll a 20? No. Well, I only rolled a 6. I rolled a net one. Do they have homes? No, they're homeless. They're a homeless warband of goblins. There's 9 of them? Yeah. I'm not going to be able to deliver eggs to 12 goblins all the time. Unless you get some more chickens. Listen, I... You got a lot of gold.
I know you have a home. But if you're interested, there is a little growing settlement of goblins near our home. And a dragon. I shake my head. Is the dragon cool? As cool as a goblin. Really cool. Okay. Where's this house?
With the goblins yeah why don't you tell us it's a cave i think it would be best if we went there with you okay just to introduce yeah introduce you yeah makes sense to me what time of day is it when we get out um it's late getting late should we camp for the night how far was this. From home i feel like we had to travel a bit i think you did have to travel a little bit Should we camp for the night first? We can swap stories. I mean, it might be safer than trying to go back in the dark.
For all we know, we could run into another rocking horse, another abyssal chicken. There's nothing wrong with Corndog. Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, unexpected in the middle of the night. She is delightful. I don't disagree. I want to go back to the wagon and check on popcorn. Okay. Yeah, popcorn's fine. Okay. I can go foraging and find us some food. I packed food. Maybe not enough for nine goblins, though.
Yes, think my background. I can find food and fresh water for up to five other people and myself per day. So I can at least get some, and maybe that plus what you packed might give us at least enough that we're not starving. Yeah, that would probably be enough. Okay, so I guess we're camping here, unless merry weather is against it. I'll take the silence as a no. Okay. So you guys are going to, I was muted and I was talking.
Oh, I'm going to clean the little spots. So that way there's no rock stone, something to like poke, poke. Okay. I was just going to sleep in the wagon. So you guys are going to camp here and you will level up overnight. Yay. And that's where we'll end for a time.
