Kipo 1:13

Our five shot. It's a five shot.

Wylie 1:16

Five episodes, multiple weekends. Hopefully, this will be the finale. All right.

Brad 1:23

We got it.

Alan 1:24

If we had any more jelly.

Wylie 1:26

So our characters, you guys were in the research lab last time. Um, Java had revealed some interesting discoveries for you. The purple jelly is, in fact, some of the same biological substance as the mushroom octopus that you have found. Um, you guys learned that these mushroom octopus are capable of body snatching. Poor GNar has been taken over by one of these weird creatures. You were able to knock him unconscious and stick him out in the snow. But he probably will be waking up soon, and the storm is the storm is hitting right now. Um, so you guys are in the research lab. You had a meeting with Pyra about um blowing up the other base.

Mimir 2:12

Oh, wow.

Wylie 2:13

We're gonna hear the wind raging outside, the snow pounding against the that's in our waking up.

Jared 2:21

Oh my gosh! What's happening? Acid it everywhere, my eyes! sorry.

Wylie 2:29

Um, so you guys are gonna have to head to the kitchen over the team meeting and figure out how you're gonna get back to Istid Jokul and what you're going to do. Um, it seems like you've determined that you need to blow up that base.

Mimir 2:41

Yeah, I mean, yeah, we're pretty excited about that. We're instructed. Making, yeah, we're making an acid nuke, basically, is what I've described to Pyra. So we'll see what that what that actually turns out. Um, but um basically the meeting is all gonna be jibble jabble, um, but we want to make sure that no one else has been taken over. That's the objective of the meeting. Okay. We're all I'm we have like a secret team meeting here in the lab, and I'll be like, all right, everybody keep your eyes locked in, locked on, and focused up, okay? So maybe make sure that if anybody's acting weird, even one of us is acting weird. I'm looking at uh a ram shield as like I just awkwardly stare at everybody in the room.

Jared 3:33

Alright, I think we're pretty good in here. Alright, um perfect. Uh and then we have more jambalaya, so that's gonna be good. Um and so it's gumbo.

Pyra 3:43

He's the one that was you're right, he said it was gumbo. He doesn't he should know this.

Gordon 3:50

There is something wrong with him.

Pyra 3:54

Uh, which is better, jumbo gumbo or jambalaya?

Gordon 3:59

Um I would say my mother's recipe of gumbo is better.

Wylie 4:04

Than jambalaya.

Gordon 4:05

Than jambalaya, but jambalaya is still good.

Pyra 4:08

I like jambalaya, has the shrimps.

Gordon 4:11

True, it can.

Jared 4:12

Alright, guys, we got we got body snatchers here.

Wylie 4:15

All right. Um Java has been tuning out part of this meeting because you guys have been taught spending a lot of time talking about soup and rice.

Mimir 4:21

Yes.

Wylie 4:22

And um he um raises his hand.

Mimir 4:25

Yes.

Wylie 4:26

Um, he was the one who discovered last time that you have this pitcher that allowed you to um dump acid, the um infinite gulp, the 7-Eleven infinite gulp. Um and so and that worked to destroy the tentacles, which is the only thing you've seen, mostly you've seen them get severed. Yeah. And then they kind of like animate on them on their own, and it seems to be creating almost more of a problem. So he found out that acid works. So he's been studying that research journal. And you do remember that at the Istid Jokul base, they had dug up a um a gelatinous cube. Oh. And um, so he points out,

Java Script 5:04

uh, guys, this is just a little bit of a theory, but we were discussing how to get this creature out of Gnar. And I think there could be a possibility that we could use the gelatinous cube because it does acid damage, but slowly. And if he were encased in the acid temporarily, we might be able to separate the cells of this creature from Gnar.

Jared 5:30

Yeah, and there was that ankle bone, right? So did they already try that? Uh I'll relay. I'll be like, there were there was an ankle bone in the thing, and then I'm wondering if they've already tried that and it worked, or I'm not totally sure.

Java Script 5:44

They didn't say anything on the holo disc that you retrieved. So I don't know if they used it for that. But it might be that they just put the sub-wizard there, they didn't quite get about in time to save his foot.

Gordon 5:56

But did you try side C? Because there was side A, side B.

Java Script 6:02

I didn't even know.

Gordon 6:04

Did it go all the way to Z? Like what's not?

Java Script 6:07

Well, maybe Dr. Fizzard would know because he knew that we should flip it. Dr. Fizzard? Huh? Huh? Dr. Fizzard. Yes. Um, uh is there any more info in this hollow disc? You know, we had the one side with the video finding the cube, and then we had the second side with the lady that said we should blow up the the base. Is there anything else?

Alan 6:27

Not not unless any of this stuff has changed since the six months I was gone, and Sandy was nagging at me, and I oh gosh, I remember now. I was just sitting at home. I really

Jared 6:38

Alright, Dr. Fizzridge. All right, thank you for that info. I think we've all lost our mind equally.

Java Script 6:45

Dr. Fizzard, I like your stories.

Alan 6:48

You're a good kid.

Java Script 6:51

I'm really glad you're back.

Jared 6:53

All right. Well, let's head to the kitchen. All right, I mean keep an eye out.

Java Script 6:58

Um, so we notify everybody on the walkie-talkies that we're having a meeting in the kitchen.

Jared 7:02

Yeah, usually, you know, it's they don't listen to the they don't listen to me. Um I'll be like, all right, we're having a meeting uh in the kitchen. Uh we got extra snacks this time.

Gordon 7:14

Actually, yeah, that's uh Gordon would just come on and say, uh, I am serving dessert uh in the kitchen for our meeting.

Wylie 7:21

And actually the only team member that is not with you is Bo Jangles. Because um So we're all gonna stare at Bo Jangles and be like Well, Pyra was away from you guys for a while. Yeah. Um and and um Java was away from you guys for a while too. Sure. Um and so also what are you gonna do with Nar?

Jared 7:40

I don't know. Uh uh I'll tie him up and yeah, but then he turned to jelly last time I we tied. Oh no, that's because he died. Not Nar, but the other dude.

Wylie 7:49

The uh the dwarf attacked initially, he died, and you tied him up in your office and he was gone. You don't know exactly what happened to him because Mops, your uh automated vacuum, had cleaned up a lot of jelly.

Jared 8:01

So um I will tie up Nar. Okay. Um uh extra well with our handcuffs and things. Uh not handcuff myself to him.

Mimir 8:13

Um that's the biggest uh thing. Um and make sure his keys are taken off his body.

Wylie 8:19

Okay, so Nar has no keys, he's tied up. Are you bringing him with you to the kitchen or are you leaving him outside in the snow?

Jared 8:25

I mean we'll we'll leave him in the research area because he's gonna die and if he just stays out in the snow, right?

Gordon 8:35

Oh, I mean with the storm.

Jared 8:37

Yeah.

Gordon 8:38

Yeah.

Jared 8:39

Um, we could bring him to the kitchen. Oh, just bring him up. I'd bring him to the kitchen. Okay. Okay. I can't wait to explain that to everybody. Hey, we have Nar tied up because he's an alien.

Gordon 8:49

Also, might tell us of their reaction. Yeah.

Jared 8:52

Oh man, that's so bad. Bop, bop, bop. All right.

Wylie 8:56

Okay. Um, so you guys are gonna head to the kitchen from the research lab. And so um, you're not gonna be able to go outside because this, I mean, you could go outside, but I don't think you want to go through the storm. So you guys are gonna have to pass through the greenhouse biosphere on your way to the kitchen. So um Bo Jangles radioed back and he said, All right, I'll be there real soon for some cookies. He's ready for some dessert. Um, so you guys are gonna head through the biosphere. So let's bring up the biosphere because we haven't gotten even to look at that map yet. So this is the map of our super cool biosphere. It's circular, uh, obviously, because it's a sphere. And um, it's got big, really thick glass windows around the whole thing to let in whatever sunlight you can get up here in the Arctic. And it's very warm. There's gardens all around the perimeter, there's paths that work their way through, um, kind of circular, like sort of like spokes on a tire that extend amongst the gardens with all of their lights and hydroponic systems. And then in the very center is the chicken coop. And Gordon has named these chickens.

Gordon 10:07

Yes, we have Betty Sue. We have uh, I believe uh I just forgot their names, so no Betty Sue. They're they're all named Betty Sue. This is Betty Sue 1, this is Betty Sue 2, Betty Sue three. They're just a bunch of white chickens, so they all have to. There's a Hank. Hank the tank. Hank is uh he is the rooster. Uh sometimes we we have little we have little skirmishes. He he can be a little rude. Uh but but deep down, Hank. I I like Hank. Oh, he's still fun.

Wylie 10:44

And um did didn't you have one named um Ohio?

Gordon 10:49

There is uh Ohio, there is Skibbity.

Wylie 10:53

Same as the dog, so it gets really confusing.

Gordon 10:55

Yes, yes, it's it's very, very confusing. Yes, and then there is uh there there is toilet. We we don't talk about toilet. Toilet keeps to himself and yeah, we just don't talk about him.

Wylie 11:12

So as you guys um step on into the biosphere, um you know, it looks beautiful like it normally does and warm, but standing.

Gordon 11:23

No picture of a chicken just came up on the screen in the certain memory at home. A massive one now, too, yeah.

Wylie 11:32

He's he's standing this is uh the camera angle is you know down low on the ground, so he's not a giant chicken. He's not a giant chicken, but there there's a normal large white chicken, nor large chicken, you know, not like a human-sized chicken. There's a normal but large chicken standing in the center of the path, staring at you. And um, Gordon, you can definitely see this is absolutely Hank. Um, and so he's standing staring at you in the center of the trail in the biosphere as your group as well as tied up and unconscious gnar are dragging your way through the biosphere.

Gordon 12:10

Okay, everybody, be careful, Hank. Uh sometimes he can be kind of temperamental. He does have spurs and he will spur you. Uh just be careful. Uh, I mean he can gouge pretty deeply, so protect your eyes. Uh, although typically he's probably going for their ankles.

Jared 12:29

So uh I got this. Don't worry. Excuse me, sir, put your feathers up. And I pull out my crossbow. This is not a drill.

Gordon 12:40

No, no, no. You you need to not look, do not look at it.

Jared 12:44

Don't tell me, don't tell me how to do my job. I'm gonna rush him.

Wylie 12:48

Are you gonna give me an animal handling check or are you gonna rush him?

Jared 12:51

I'm gonna rush him. I'm gonna attack Hank.

Wylie 12:53

Okay, attack Hank.

Jared 12:58

Not bad. 21 to hit Hank.

Wylie 13:02

Um you hit Hank.

Jared 13:05

A sweep.

Wylie 13:06

How much damage do you do?

Gordon 13:08

Oh, quite a bit. What would you say the chicken is under the surprise condition?

Wylie 13:18

Uh I wouldn't say he's surprised because you charged at him while yelling.

Jared 13:23

Yeah, no, okay. I only do five slashing damage. Um I'm on edge. I'm like, this is the most on edge you've ever seen, Jerry. Yeah, yeah. Everything that stands in our way is an enemy of the state.

Wylie 13:40

Oh. Um how much you just do what?

Jared 13:43

I do five slashing damage.

Wylie 13:45

Do five. Okay. Um so you do five slashing damage. The uh chicken flutters up into the air, and you slash at him. Um you take off a foot, and he's fluttered up in the air, and a tentacle extends.

Gordon 14:09

Not Hank!

Mimir 14:10

I love the idea that um Jared was actually just expecting to fight a chicken.

Jared 14:16

And so he's now panicking. He's like, oh no, it's actually a swim.

Wylie 14:21

So let's roll for initiative.

Gordon 14:23

Yeah. Nat 20.

Mimir 14:29

Whoa!

Jared 14:29

11 for me.

Wylie 14:31

Gordon is gonna be going first.

Alan 14:33

18 for me.

Wylie 14:37

Okay, so we've got Gordon first, and 18 for Alan.

Jared 14:45

Okay. And 11 for me.

Wylie 14:48

Okay. So we've got Gordon first, Alan second, chicken thing, uh third, and then Jared fourth. Gordon, you're up.

Jared 15:00

Put your chicken feathers up, you're under arrest, mister. I'm having flashbags of being grappled again.

Gordon 15:10

Where are we? Okay, where is uh Hank in comparison to where I'll put you guys on the map. Whoops.

Jared 15:18

If they wanted to see this map, how would they be able to see this map, DM?

Wylie 15:22

These maps are gonna be available for you to see on our Patreon when we make it. They're very but at the time of this episode, if you're listening to it, we should have these available on our Patreon. And after this one-shot campaign, we are we have a whole much longer campaign planned. Um, and so if you subscribe, you will be able to see all of the cool graphics from that campaign, as well as our behind the blunders episodes that we'll be releasing on there as well.

Jared 15:50

So much content coming out, so much fun coming out.

Wylie 15:54

I know I'm really excited for that one too. I'm gonna be sad to leave these characters though, they're pretty awesome. But it'll be whole new characters, whole new adventure. A lot of fun. Okay, I'm just gonna put you three, but technically, Java and Pyra are with you guys too.

Brad 16:10

Okay.

Wylie 16:11

And I got to get little chicken out now.

Gordon 16:14

Okay, so since we're in the biosphere, and you said it's just uh what are the walls made of?

Wylie 16:22

Glass.

Gordon 16:22

Glass. Okay.

Wylie 16:25

So I'm gonna say Jared is right up here. Um who would be would Alan be next? Yeah.

Gordon 16:32

Yeah. So I think what Gordon just noticing, like the best way to deal with these things is when everything is cold. So Gordon is actually gonna run up to the wall and then just go ham on it with his uh battle axe.

Wylie 16:50

So he's uh you're gonna take the chicken to the wall or Oh, you're gonna go you smash the wall. You're gonna smash a hole in the wall.

Gordon 16:58

Unless is there are there any Wait, what? Y

Jared 17:00

You're gonna smash our bio dome? Yeah. So if there's uh Can I yell at him?

Wylie 17:05

You can if you see him heading for it.

Jared 17:07

Don't do that. Stop that. It's just a chicken, it's a chicken squid. Don't break our biodome. This is so expensive. This is more than anybody has ever been paid ever.

Gordon 17:22

Okay, so um are or are there any windows? Or I'd say like windows you can open, or are they all just like totally sealed?

Wylie 17:32

Okay. So Arcane Intelligence built this and they are not used to a super cold environment. So while they did make the glass really thick, they probably would have considered it advantageous to be able to open the windows. So I'm gonna roll a luck check.

Gordon 17:47

So you can So 100% I don't think Gordon would check. He would probably just run up and you wouldn't know if there was windows. That's true, that's true.

Wylie 17:57

All right, because you this is this is like your zone.

Gordon 17:59

I I enjoy this place, yeah.

Wylie 18:00

So I'm gonna let you um you can pick odds or evens, and I'm gonna roll a d20. And if it's what you pick, then there will be a window, and you don't have to actually break the dome because this is very thick glass, so shattering it will take time.

Gordon 18:13

Okay. All right. Um let's go. Odds.

Wylie 18:18

Okay, odds.

Gordon 18:19

Because it's an odd situation.

Wylie 18:22

Three.

Gordon 18:23

Let's go.

Wylie 18:25

Arcane Intelligence thought you would want to open windows to the negative 30 degree weather that is consistently that cold or colder.

Gordon 18:32

Yeah.

Jared 18:32

That's why they're that's why it's the bosses.

Gordon 18:35

So where where where would the uh where would the window be?

Wylie 18:38

I'd say the first row, because these are this is glass windows that go all the way up across the dome. So the first row, the normal, accessible, so probably all the way around you have windows that can open.

Gordon 18:47

So then uh Gordon just kind of runs off to the left uh out of line with everyone and just goes and uh opens a window. Okay. Open a window. I'm assuming that would just be my action.

Wylie 18:59

Mm-hmm. Yeah. If you have any bonus actions, if you want a bonus action rage or anything like that.

Gordon 19:05

It's only one chicken. It's only that we know of. Well, there's more. How much? Nah, I'll I'll save it.

Alan 19:15

How much does the chicken weigh?

Wylie 19:16

How much does it weigh? Uh how much does an average chicken weigh? Hang on. I'll Google it.

Gordon 19:22

Is it enough to break the ice?

Mimir 19:26

I don't want to be here anymore. This is my last uh time on the podcast. Uh I'm retiring. My mirrors are just like, I'm out. I'll play myself out.

Wylie 19:39

Well, if there's any um chicken lovers in our fans, they're probably gonna be disappointed in me. But it seems like they it can vary greatly between just like 1.4 pounds and like 8.6 pounds.

Alan 19:50

Oh, well, that's just perfect. So anyway.

Wylie 19:54

What does Alan do?

Gordon 19:56

Uh well we've all started blasting.

Wylie 19:58

Oh, you're it's not your turn. Yeah, hang on. I'm losing track. I'm getting so excited about this chicken. All right, we crashed a window open, and that's all you do, right?

Gordon 20:07

Yep.

Wylie 20:08

Okay, then it is Alan.

Gordon 20:09

I just opened a window.

Wylie 20:10

You opened a window that can be closed again later. Yes.

Alan 20:13

Uh can you responsibly. Tell me distances. So I see myself in the middle there. How far is it to the wall where the window is, and how far away is the chicken?

Wylie 20:21

I'd say it looks like it's about I don't know. It seems like it's fifteen feet each way.

unknown 20:28

Oh, perfect. That's on you, DM. That's on you.

Alan 20:34

I cast mage hand. Okay. Pick up Hank by his good leg.

Wylie 20:40

Okay, I think you're gonna have to do grapple. Like a grapple check. Yeah.

Gordon 20:45

Five.

Jared 20:46

It'd be ten. Uh so it'd be just a flat roll, I think.

Gordon 20:49

It was so close.

Wylie 20:51

What did you get?

Gordon 20:52

Um, let me see if I add anything. Do I add strength to the I mean?

Wylie 20:57

I think because it's a hand, we're going flat rolls. Okay. Yeah. The chicken rolled a three. Let's go!

Alan 21:05

It wasn't, and it has a it was on 17, and then it went right over to seven okay. Well, out the window.

Wylie 21:14

Okay, you grab the chicken, you thrust the chicken out the window into the snow.

Alan 21:18

Yep.

Wylie 21:18

Um, and do you do anything like your mage hand is out there in the snow?

Gordon 21:22

Drops it.

Wylie 21:23

Drops it. Okay. Anything else happened?

Gordon 21:25

Real quick, how far out do you go? As far as I can. So that's if it's 15, the range is 30. Okay. So you went.

Wylie 21:35

You went fifteen and then another 15.

Gordon 21:37

15 and then but a 15 back to me and then 15 out and then 15 again. So it's if it's 30 feet away from me, then that make that checks out.

Wylie 21:46

Oh, you're just saying, okay, okay, okay.

Gordon 21:48

15 to pick him up, back to me, 15. So once I'm in the middle, I'm in the middle, and Hank is right there.

Wylie 21:54

Okay.

Gordon 21:54

So it will say you can cast it at the like 60 feet away from me.

Wylie 21:58

You can cast it at the chicken.

Jared 21:59

Yeah, yeah.

Wylie 22:00

So does it say how much movement that hand has per round?

Jared 22:04

Yeah, I think it's oh, I don't know. Let me let me look real quick.

Alan 22:10

Uh you can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it. Oh, there you go.

Wylie 22:17

Okay. So if you casted the chicken, you can basically get the chicken to the window.

Gordon 22:21

To the window.

Wylie 22:21

So the chicken is grasped in a mage hand at the window. At the window. Gordon is next to the window. Um, and that's also right next to Java, who's holding his arcane pitcher. And Pyra is right there as well. But I didn't put them in the initiative. Um, but we'll let them insert once every round if you guys ask them to do something. Cool. Um okay. So much.

unknown 22:42

Okay.

Alan 22:44

Just have a floating chicken.

Wylie 22:45

A floating chicken. Upside down. In front of the window.

Gordon 22:47

In front of the window.

Wylie 22:48

In front of the window, clearly on his way out. Um, so it is now the chicken thing's turn.

Mimir 22:56

Got higher initiative than me.

Wylie 22:59

So the chicken over here. Um, he is going to. I think you can struggle against being grappled. So let me check. Okay. So I think it just has to resist again. So it'll be a roll off of just a straight roll.

Jared 23:13

How are we going over there?

Wylie 23:15

Chicken roll to 17. Okay, the chicken hops out of the um hand, but that was its action. So it is sitting on the floor next to the window with tentacles for legs.

Jared 23:28

Cool. I love to see that.

Wylie 23:31

And it is now Jared's turn.

Jared 23:36

Cool. I will run up uh and grab the infinite gulp. Okay. Um, and say acid into it and dump it onto the chicken.

Wylie 23:46

Okay. So you just dump acid straight onto the chicken.

Gordon 23:50

Actually, just kivas comes out.

unknown 23:52

No!

Brad 23:53

Don't waste the cavass. Oh no.

Jared 23:57

I said acid, I said acid.

Wylie 24:01

So fortunately, Java also had already had it set to acid because he was using it for acid earlier. So you just pour acid out of this cool arcane pitcher with all these glowing runes on it. Um, they glow green, as you say, acid. You pour it over the chicken. Um, there's a whoosh of the acid, and all that's left is the chicken skeleton standing there charred. And everything else has been liquefied away.

unknown 24:26

All right.

Gordon 24:26

Oh, poor Hank. Good job, guys. And uh, we had our fights. We had our fights, but we had our good times. So for Hank, I would just like to say maybe just take a moment of silence, please. Uh he is he is uh now at one with the chicken pin in the sky and uh may he rest in peace.

Alan 24:48

Alan's finicking with his radio and it's making all sorts of like in the middle of this drum sentence.

Jared 24:56

You've had it off this whole time. Um I have an idea, DM.

Wylie 25:03

Uh-huh.

Jared 25:04

I want to go to the dog pen and grab Finn. Okay. Put Finn on a leash and bring him Finn to the meeting. Okay.

Brad 25:11

That's a great idea.

Wylie 25:13

All right. So um you guys are currently dragging Kolepsy with you. So who's gonna go where?

Mimir 25:18

Uh I'll go to Finn and go with Finn. You have Nar since you're big. Yeah.

Wylie 25:22

Okay.

Gordon 25:23

So with the other NPCs, I think. Okay.

Wylie 25:28

So Jared's going to the dog kennels. Um, everyone else is continuing to the kitchen together, or is anyone else gonna do any side missions on the way to the kitchen?

Alan 25:38

Hang on. There's still a bunch of chickens.

Wylie 25:41

There's a lot of chickens.

Gordon 25:44

I mean, I'll I'll keep walking through and check on Betty Sue and P Sue one and two and three and four and five and six.

Wylie 25:55

Um so um, do you give the acid back to Java or is someone else gonna carry it?

Mimir 26:02

Well, yeah. I mean I'll give it back to Java.

Wylie 26:04

Okay.

Mimir 26:05

Um pretty slippery, so I can just yeah.

Wylie 26:08

Yeah, so imagine when you hand it to Java, he goes, he holds it, he's like, don't worry, guys, I'll lead the way. And he steps out in front of the group holding the acid pitcher, just like ready to dump it on any chicken. All right, so he's gonna go do that. You guys are gonna head to the kitchen.

Mimir 26:27

Right.

Wylie 26:27

Um, while we're doing that, um can everybody give me a constitution save and a D100.

Mimir 26:35

Uh I will say, probably going alone is not a good idea. So, because if I get trapped with one of these individuals by myself, so I'll take um Alan with me. I can take Alan or Pyra or do not take me.

Alan 26:54

You can say you you tell me what to do.

Wylie 26:56

Well, you guys are already separated off. Oh, okay. So you're I'll radio and I'll be like, hey, can I get one more person coming over helping out with the dog pens? Okay. I think Bo Jangles being already separated off. He would say, um, all right, sure thing, I'll meet you on over there. Perfect. And I know I still need to get you something, Brad. Okay, so now we're gonna Okay, I'm trying to figure out which map to bring up. I think we can just go get the kitchen.

Mimir 27:32

What hey, what are we giggling? Hey, what are we giggling out of the way? We'll find out. Brad's dying.

Jared 27:42

Brad's giggling. That's uh nervous.

Wylie 27:44

I think we have arcadium sickness in our own studio early taking effect. Um okay, so uh Bo Jangles comes to you in the dog kennel. Um as you guys he meets you there, you're there at the same time, as you enter. Um, Finn is not happy. He starts growling, and he he seems really irritated. The other dogs seem on edge. Um, but Finn seems really alert and aggressive. Do you continue in there to get him, or what do you want to do?

Jared 28:20

Uh is Bo Jingles in there with me?

Wylie 28:22

Yeah, you both entered at the same time.

Jared 28:24

Okay. Um, let's see. I will like you feeling okay there, Joe Bo Jangles? Uh I'll just talk to him real quick.

Wylie 28:34

Okay. Um he's like, all right, then um, yeah, I've been working real hard all day, so I'm pretty tired, but um, I'm doing alright. There's some weird stuff going on.

Jared 28:44

Oh that doesn't seem great.

Alan 28:47

Um, what's your name?

Mimir 28:54

Let's see.

Jared 28:55

Uh I'll be like, uh, one second, yeah. Um and I'll be like, we're on our way with the dogs. Or with the dog. We'll meet you guys there soon. Uh and then I will leave without the dogs. I think that's probably the best thing.

Wylie 29:10

And just meet everybody back in the kitchen together.

Jared 29:12

Uh-huh.

Wylie 29:13

Okay. Um, so you guys are heading.

Jared 29:17

I got to mute this thing.

Wylie 29:19

We're just trying to clarify stuff.

Jared 29:22

Asking questions.

Wylie 29:23

I can't send too confusing prompts. All right. So we go to the kitchen. So everyone's gonna meet in the kitchen now. Oh, good. All the icons are there from last time. Oh, here we go. I was like, the chicken's not supposed to be in the kitchen.

Mimir 29:38

Not that we know of.

Wylie 29:40

Don't worry. You step into the kitchen and there are chickens everywhere. No, not really the.

Jared 29:47

That's my worst night.

Wylie 29:48

That would be so funny.

Brad 29:49

Over chicken loaded.

Wylie 29:51

Over chicken loaded.

Gordon 29:55

All the chickens are playing overcooked.

Jared 29:58

No, they took the switch.

Gordon 30:00

There's a spell called on and off, and I think that would be really funny to call the instead of a switch, call it an on and off.

Wylie 30:07

An on and off. I like that. Well, maybe we'll get sponsored by Nintendo. Yeah. Switchs is for everyone.

Jared 30:15

Sponsor people, Nintendo.

Wylie 30:17

Okay, so um Gnar. Oh, I need to put Nar in here. He's unconscious and on the floor.

Gordon 30:23

So something, if if you don't mind me saying for Gordon, something that I think he would do at this moment and just understanding the thing that's been going on. I think he is probably gonna go to the freezer and pull out um ice cream for everyone.

Wylie 30:42

Okay.

Gordon 30:43

Um just uh because you know, this guy, I mean again, food. That's his thing. So he pulls out ice cream to serve for everybody.

Wylie 30:54

All right. Um so he serves you you put it and do you like hand each person a bowl? Do you just put it out for everyone to serve themselves? What do you do?

Gordon 31:03

Um he would probably serve it up and then hand it out to people.

Wylie 31:07

Okay. All right, so you describe who you're passing it to when.

Gordon 31:12

I wonder. We'll see. Um I would go ahead, I would probably start with Pyra. He's like, oh, here you go, here is your bowl of ice cream. Because you know, I said desserts, so here you go. Um and then he'd walk over to um Java. Like, here you go. I know you like uh more of the coffee kind of thing, so here is the Java chip. Oh, if you like. Uh also Pyra has a little bit of a spicy, you know, because she likes explosives. Uh Alan, I go to him, I give him uh this is for you, Alan. What is it? Uh it's just plain vanilla, like you. In a what? In a bowl. Okay.

Wylie 32:00

Alan's rolling dice.

Alan 32:03

Okay, yeah, he just takes it. Okay. Oh no.

Gordon 32:07

Oh no. But as Gordon's walking, he goes, does anybody smell that? There's something stinky. I don't Alan fart. Alan smells the ice cream. I think I think Alan farted. Okay, anyway.

Jared 32:25

All right. Thank you so much for the ice cream.

Gordon 32:28

Here you go, Jared. This is your ice cream. Awesome. Uh it's just uh, you know, it's got a little hint, a little flavor. Um, but you know, just kind of in the in the background. Uh, and then uh here you go, Bo. Uh you're a hardworking man, so I give you uh chocolate chip, chocolate chip cookie dough.

Wylie 32:50

Okay. Bo Jingles takes it and um he goes, Oh, thank you. It's been a real long day. And he takes a spoonful and puts his mouth, he goes, and he makes a screwed-up face, and he goes, brain freeze. Thanks. And he takes another bite. The same thing happens.

Jared 33:13

And he's like, You don't have to eat like a we're not forcing you a gunpoint to eat ice cream.

Wylie 33:20

He's like, I have to get into bite, let it. Um, sorry, I'm going gnar. Java.

Beau Jangles 33:24

Um, I'll think I'll need to let it warm up a little bit first. It might be a little bit too cold for me. And he sets the bowl down and and says, All right, how about this team meeting? What are we here to talk about?

Jared 33:34

I I uh set my bowl down and I go up to the whiteboard and I'm like,

Gordon 33:38

hello, some somebody keeps farting. I don't know who it is. I need to stop because I keep smelling it, okay? I I don't know. Whoever whoever uh this if you dealt it, please claim it, okay? Um for the sake of everyone.

Jared 33:53

Well we've had a very uh interesting situation here. Uh besides that, that we'll put that on the very last. Um and I want uh everybody, um we are walking down the base, um, and we want everybody to go to uh uh their designated areas, and we're gonna come around with a dog, um, and we're gonna have a conversation, all right? So everybody's gonna be in their own areas with and we're gonna come around uh by me. Uh me and Bo Jangles will walk around with the dog, and uh we'll go around and we will uh I yep, we'll be good. We'll be over there and we'll do things, all right?

Wylie 34:37

Okay. Uh Pyra does not like this plan because she is ready to blow things up. And so she said she says,

Pyra 34:44

We had a plan. I've made this whole bomb, a very, very big one, used almost all of my explosives.

Jared 34:50

100%. That's great. But the storm is going on. We can't go out during the storm, Pyra.

Pyra 34:56

Right, but when storm goes away, we'll talk about it. Yeah, we'll talk about it.

Jared 35:00

No, we'll put it on the whiteboard. It's on the whiteboard. Big boom.

Pyra 35:05

Priority number one.

Jared 35:08

Priority number one.

Pyra 35:10

All right, so when we the storm is gone and we go to the other base and we blow it up, right? What um what are we going to do?

Jared 35:20

That's about it. I think I think we're we blow it up. I think that's the thing.

Pyra 35:24

Does everybody get to go to see the explosion?

Gordon 35:27

We can't fit everybody.

Wylie 35:29

We don't have enough dogs for everybody, Pyra. Hmm. She's like, maybe I'll work on this.

Jared 35:34

If it's a bigger explosion, you probably could see it from here.

Pyra 35:38

True, true, true. Okay.

Jared 35:41

All right. So let's all uh get in our own areas uh and we'll come around and uh make sure that everybody's okay, okay?

Gordon 35:50

Oh come on, guy. Someone please stop that.

Wylie 35:55

The smell is so bad you think you see Nar's body twitch. Oh no.

Brad 36:00

Oh no.

Jared 36:01

It's like Nar.

Wylie 36:03

Nar's Arnar.

Jared 36:08

Uh cool. Um, so I'll be like, all right. Um uh let me look at the map here real quick.

Alan 36:14

Oh Alan drops his bowl. Oh, and and it just falls to the ground.

Jared 36:21

You're right there. Doctor? Dr. Alan? Uh uh Yeah, I'm fine.

Alan 36:27

I think I'm fine.

Jared 36:28

Okay. All right. Sweet.

Java Script 36:31

Um Java says, um, oh, guys, I I have an idea though. Um it seems that it's better if things get cold. And I know it's stormy outside, but it might be a good idea to open up the windows and uh in some of the cold air. That might also help us and help clear out some of this arcadium sickness.

Jared 36:50

Yeah. Um Bo Jangles and I work on that uh specifically. Um I will need um that vase just in case if anything happens. Um as we're coming around, uh anything happens. I I wink at him. Anything happens, all right?

Java Script 37:08

Oh, okay. You want me to come with you?

Jared 37:10

No, I'll just take the vase.

Java Script 37:12

But I'm really gonna operating the vase.

Jared 37:14

I understand that. Um for emergency situations, we'll need the vase.

Java Script 37:20

Okay, but are you sure you know how to operate the vase? I used it earlier. But I had it set to acid already. What if it gets set to uh Baba Ganoush?

Brad 37:30

Kavas.

Gordon 37:33

Baba Ganoosh. It is Kavas. Okay, listen, I'm I'm just gonna go ahead and open up the window. Whoever, please, whoever can someone stop farting. I I would appreciate it very much. So uh Gordon goes and opens like a window or or the yeah, or the door right there.

Wylie 37:53

Okay. Um when you open the window, you realize this storm isn't as bad as you guys thought it was gonna be. It's like it's windy, but it's not that bad.

Jared 38:02

Gordon, I I don't think that's a good idea. I went real Obama there. That was true. Dude, I don't think that's a good idea. Um that's a good idea, sir. Um uh and I'll I'll climb up and I'll I'll close the window. I'll be like, you need to calm down, all right? We just gotta chill out here. Um and do I have the vase yet or did I not grab it yet?

Wylie 38:27

Um he was still holding it because he really wants to be a part of this. So he's he's still holding it currently.

Jared 38:34

Remember, you're a hero, and I'll I'll grab the vase from him.

Wylie 38:39

He like lets you have it, but his face looks like so disappointed and confused. L

Java Script 38:43

Like, but how could it be the hero without my discovery?

Jared 38:47

Cool. Uh so I close the window, I take the vase, um, and I'm gonna be like, all right, everybody go to your designated areas, and we will be there in a minute, okay? Alright, thank you guys so much. Meeting adjourned.

Pyra 39:02

Um and Pyra says, where am I supposed to go? Um The fuel shed is out in the storm.

Jared 39:10

Uh you can hang out in the dog Kennels

Pyra 39:12

Alright, I'll go there.

Jared 39:14

Great. Uh and you guys also need to separate uh Alan and uh Oh, Java? Yeah, Java. Just so we have a clear uh scan of everything. All right. So you can you can wait in the bedroom, I think. Oh the Sleeping Quarters

Alan 39:34

We're gonna go and lay down.

Wylie 39:36

Let's take some nap.

Alan 39:40

Uh cool. Alan practically runs, but he's not running. Uh huh. Yeah.

Jared 39:44

Uh cool. Uh I will head uh and we'll go to uh Alan's first, me and Bo Jangles.

Wylie 39:51

Okay. Um so Pyra on her way out he opens windows because we talked about opening windows. So she's opening some windows on her way to the dog kennel. So she goes to the dog kennel. Um, Alan, you're gonna go to the sleeping quarters. Gordon, you're gonna stay in the kitchen. Um Java's gonna go to the research lab. Gnar is still on the floor. So I guess I guess we should probably deal with this before you guys leave. The body is warming up and starting to twitch. His unconscious body, he's not dead.

Mimir 40:21

I totally forgot about it.

Wylie 40:22

Yeah, so gnar starts twitching a little bit.

Mimir 40:24

Um yeah, I left. So I I think I just left Nar with him because I totally forgot about Nar.

Gordon 40:31

Gordon would probably go grab the body and just throw him right outside the door. Right.

Wylie 40:37

In the snow.

Gordon 40:38

In the snow.

Wylie 40:39

In the snow. Okay. So we're gonna bring up the sleeping quarters.

Jared 40:44

The sleeping quarters?

Wylie 40:47

We haven't even visited the sleeping quarters yet in this campaign. Alright, these are the sleeping quarters. Gonna put Alan in here. And you can move Alan around.

Alan 41:01

Yep.

Wylie 41:02

And then we'll see. Okay. And then this is the door up here.

Jared 41:09

Cool.

Mimir 41:10

And are you asleep already?

Alan 41:14

Five minutes.

Jared 41:15

Cool. Sweet.

Wylie 41:18

Okay, um, so what's Gordon doing at this time?

Gordon 41:22

Um, Gordon uh is probably just keeping an eye on Gnar with the door open.

unknown 41:30

Yeah.

Gordon 41:31

Okay.

Wylie 41:31

What was the snow? Outside. Okay.

Gordon 41:33

I'm probably watching the storm a little bit too.

Wylie 41:35

Mm-hmm. Okay.

Gordon 41:36

Getting some fresh air.

Wylie 41:38

And Alan's dead asleep.

Alan 41:40

Um within five minutes of getting it. What's up, men?

Jared 41:47

How are you looking at me like that?

Mimir 41:48

I'm just watching. You're just rolling dice up there. Uh okay. Do it. Should I just say it out loud or um yeah. Cool. Um, so I walk into the room. Um, you're sleeping. Okay. Um, what's your AC?

Alan 42:08

13.

Mimir 42:09

Okay. I beat that. Um, and since you're asleep, it's an auto crit. Um I do 41 points of damage to you as I walk in and I attack you while you're sleeping.

Wylie 42:22

Okay, so to clarify, yes, you don't do damage to him.

Mimir 42:26

Yes, yes.

Wylie 42:27

Um, but you would grapple him.

Mimir 42:29

Okay, yes, I grapple him then.

Wylie 42:30

Okay. So I'm gonna say that you can successfully grapple him because he's unconscious. Okay, yeah. So you wake up with Jared's arms around you.

Mimir 42:39

Come here, buddy. Yeah, come here, come be my friend.

Jared 42:45

I thought I got to do a whole buttload of sneak attack, but okay. So I have Yeah, I haven't grappled.

Wylie 42:52

Okay.

Alan 42:52

So Bo Jangles is not in the room?

Wylie 42:54

Bo Jangles, he went out to close windows. So Bo Jengles is not there right now.

Alan 42:58

Okay. Alright. Um sorry.

Mimir 43:06

I rolled a natural one. I'm sorry. So the grappled? Oh, on the concept. I'm so sorry. That's okay. I'm so sorry.

Alan 43:19

Um I'm grappled. I'm grappled.

Wylie 43:22

Which means you can cast spells.

Alan 43:23

I know, yeah. I gotta figure out what I can do here.

Jared 43:26

That's why I closed the window. Oh, no, you're gonna go.

Gordon 43:29

That's why that's why I was like, okay, something's off.

Mimir 43:33

And that's why I grabbed the vase. I was like, this is the only weapon against us right now. Oh no.

Gordon 43:40

Can I be working on something?

Wylie 43:42

In the kitchen?

Gordon 43:43

Yes.

Wylie 43:44

Yeah.

Jared 43:46

What are you working on with that? No, yeah. You don't know, you know? You don't know.

Mimir 43:50

I'm excited. Having the first person to be possessed is a rogue, is a very bad thing.

Wylie 44:00

I really didn't want to let it happen. But you were alone and you rolled a nat one.

Jared 44:05

Yeah. No, it makes sense. Yeah. And the percentile die was like 88, I think, is what I rolled. It was bad.

Wylie 44:12

If you rolled a Nat1, it didn't matter.

Jared 44:14

Yeah. Yeah.

Gordon 44:15

Okay. I think I know the answer, but I'm gonna I need the DM to confirm it. So one second.

Jared 44:21

There's a bunch of typing messages going on.

Mimir 44:23

Everybody's typing something.

Jared 44:25

I'm not. I already did my typing. I'm using my computer too, so I it doesn't make any bings.

Mimir 44:33

Kipo's out here trying to survive. Um, I will send you over here. Join us, Kipo.

Wylie 44:42

Mm-hmm. Okay. Absolutely.

Kipo 44:44

That's what I do then. Mm-hmm.

Wylie 44:45

Okay, so describe what you do.

Kipo 44:47

Um, so Alan's getting where are you how are you grappling me?

Mimir 44:51

Uh I have tentacles coming out of me, right?

Wylie 44:53

Um I'd say at this point you're you're pretty much revealing yourself. You weren't really trying to be that sneaky. You assume to have a lot of people. Yeah. So the tentacles have burst out of Jared as he's grappling on to uh the laying down form of Dr. Alan Fizzard as this creature is hoping to take possession of Alan as well. So, and some tentacles are uh Alan wakes up wrapped in tentacles with Jared's face staring down at him, and he feels tentacles touching his face .

Kipo 45:27

Alan wakes up and he looks and observes what's happening. He's older, he's seeing a lot of stuff. Right now, the first thought that goes through his head is like, why did I unretire? Why am I here right now?

Alan 45:46

So he sighs, and then before your eyes, I don't know if you're conscious enough to know what's happening, but um, all that happens is I uh turn into gas. My entire body turns into gas.

Wylie 46:03

What color is this gas?

Alan 46:05

Um his that's what the parts was earlier. That's what it was. It was Alan all along.

Wylie 46:12

It was Alan.

Alan 46:13

It wasn't Alan's. It was not Alan. Um what color is Alan's gas? Okay, it's um question every day. I'd like to say like a blue, like a nice dark uh indigo. Oh man.

Brad 46:30

Cool.

Alan 46:31

So puffs into this nice blue. I mean, that's what I need to pull up his um picture again. Yeah, like just like his robe that he's wearing, that you can see if you're on the Patreon. Uh you can see his nice blue robe. That's exactly what he turns into. Um so he had just cast gaseous form.

Wylie 46:51

And how long does that last for?

Alan 46:52

So that is going to be an hour, right? One hour up to an hour with concentration. Yeah. And so um spell ends if the creature, me, uh, drops to zero hit points. Um you can't take any damage right now. But I can't really, yeah. While in form, target's only method of movement is flying at the speed of ten feet. Uh target can enter and occupy the space of another creature. The target has resistance to non-magical damage and has advantage on strength, dexterity, and constitution saving throws. Target can pass through small holes, narrow openings, and even mere cracks, though it treats liquids as though they're solid surfaces. Target can can't fall and remains hovering in the air even when stunned or otherwise incapacitated. Okay. So you take half to. So there you go.

Wylie 47:45

So you turn into gas in his arms, and what do you do? You can go under door frames. Right.

Alan 47:53

I guess he's gonna sleep just like go off the side of the bed underneath that curtain there. I know you're gonna get an attack on it. Take an attack. Um won't be as it will not be 40 damage because I it won't even be sneaked to if you're No, yeah, you don't have you don't have the same damage as a thing. Uh so uh 21 to hit, but it's not gonna do. I have resistance. What does that mean? So you take half damage. Oh, I take half damage. So you only take two damage. I I already have damage for you. Two damage. But I still go.

Wylie 48:29

You slip away under the curtain. And you can just tell me what direction you're heading into. You will head there slowly, but you can kind of determine.

Mimir 48:37

Question DM, how smart is this alien? Um so Does it have my intelligence?

Wylie 48:44

Um I would say it does not have your intelligence right now because um it just took you over. It's just kind of puppeting this body.

Mimir 48:53

Yeah.

Wylie 48:53

Um, and it takes time for it to acclimate to all of your thoughts and decisions. So it was kind of going along autopilot for a little bit. Um, but you're not gonna be able to do everything that you can normally do.

Mimir 49:04

Cool, cool, cool.

Jared 49:05

Um well, I was gonna do something with the radio, but since I'm not super intelligent, um, like I am uh as my character sheet says, um, I will um just run after the smoke. Okay. Um and I can't bonus action dash or anything like that because he's not used to my body. So I will just run. Yeah.

Wylie 49:26

Okay. So you can probably keep up with the smoke because it can only go 10 feet per round, right?

Mimir 49:31

Um yeah, and I I mean I'll take attacks on it when I can, uh basically. Until you can't reach me. Yeah, until I can't reach you.

Wylie 49:38

Yeah, if he goes up to the ceiling, yeah. If he goes up to the ceiling, and you you you I mean it depends on how much you're gonna reveal yourself now. Because once you're out in the hallway, yeah. Are you gonna you could spider climb on the walls, but that would really reveal yourself. So you can chase the gas or

Mimir 49:56

I'm pretty worried about this, but um let's see if I can oh, there's other people alone.

Wylie 50:05

The alien also wouldn't necessarily he he might just think that Alan disappeared. So you could probably you can roll to see if the alien thinks that he disappeared, the creature.

Mimir 50:13

Oh yeah, he rolled natural five.

Wylie 50:15

Yeah, so he he doesn't really know. He just thinks that Alan turned into gas and then he's gone. He doesn't really realize the gas is Alan currently.

Mimir 50:22

He was the guy that's fighting. So uh I will go to the dog kennel and try the same maneuver on Pyra, but I will try to knock her out. Okay when when I get there.

Wylie 50:34

Okay, so you're gonna head to the dog kennel. Um is does Alan want to tell me privately where Alan's going? Is that what you want to do? Yeah. Okay.

Mimir 50:43

I won't matter game if you totally fine. Because I'm just gonna start going from place to place to place.

Wylie 50:50

That would be more uh in line with the strategy. So we do need to take a break here.

Gordon 50:54

No words.

Wylie 50:54

Um so we'll take a break and maybe you guys can help me figure out this mess I got us into.

Jared 51:01

You gave me the power of demons.

Wylie 51:04

You were the worst one and to get changed. And we'll figure it out.

Jared 51:11

Oh man. And we're back.

Wylie 51:14

Starting now. Alan is gas.

Alan 51:20

Alan is gas.

Wylie 51:21

He is in the hallway. Uh Jared, in quotes, is taking off for the dog kennels. Uh-huh. He's going to try to get Pyra. You told Bo to go close the windows. Yep. So Bo is has gone off and you don't know exactly where he is, but he's gone off to close windows and um maybe do who else knows what. Alan, so you are headed a direction.

Alan 51:45

Yep. And um because I can see him, so I'll go the opposite direction. Okay.

Wylie 51:51

So let me look up.

Alan 51:52

As long as he's not chasing me, yeah.

Wylie 51:53

Yeah, he we we had him roll and he failed to determine that you were anything other than just a poof of smoke now.

Alan 51:59

Oh, nice, that's right. Okay.

Wylie 52:00

So he does not know.

Alan 52:02

Wonderful.

Wylie 52:03

So I'm gonna bring up the map of our entire base so we can kind of see who's going where.

Mimir 52:10

Just for the uh people at home, I was sent the stats and the stat block for who I am now. And let me tell you, it's bad news for these two gym. Okay.

Alan 52:24

All right.

Wylie 52:25

So the sleeping quarters are very close to the dog kennels. So Jared exits to the mud room and is crossing to the dog kennels. Um so Alan, you would be heading back the hall through the hallway into the biosphere, and you can go from the biosphere to any other location. Gordon is in the kitchen. Um, Java is in the research lab. Jared has the arcane um jug on him that can produce acid. So you know that he has that resource, and we know that the acid damages this creature. It seems to be the main thing that will like pretty much one hit destroy this creature. Pyra is in the dog kennels, because that's where she was told to wait. And so that's the direction she's gone. And we don't know where Bo is right now. And Nar is sleeping in unconscious in the snow outside the kitchen. So these are the locations of all of the players, Kurt and PCs. All separated? Oh no. Everyone is separated. Um so where should we go first? Kitchen or dog kennels?

Mimir 53:32

Bring me to the dog kennels and see how that goes.

Wylie 53:35

Uh if you're going to the kitchen. If you want to go to kitchen?

Alan 53:38

Because it logically looks very close. Okay. So I'm out. Yeah.

Wylie 53:41

Do you and um Gordon perhaps want to chit-chat while it's scene unrolled. Am I there? Yeah, you we can say that you made it there. Oh, awesome. And um if you guys want to do kind of a behind-the-scenes coordination. Okay. So we're gonna go to the dog kennels and see what happens there.

Mimir 54:00

assuming, the dogs freak out when I walked in.

Wylie 54:04

Yes. So Pyra is standing over here, and you enter in the door down here at the bottom of the map. And um Finn was laying down in his kennel, and as soon as you enter, Finn sits up, ears perk up, and he kind of growls at you a little bit.

Pyra 54:21

And Pyra is standing over here working on something. So she hears him growl, turns around, sees you come in, and she goes, Ah, great. Look at what I'm working on. I've made a rocket propelled sled. Whoa. Look, see, I put some explosives here. This will get this through the other base much quicker, and we can blow it up very fast.

Jared 54:43

Yeah, sure. Wait, show me how it show me how it works here. Um and I will like go up behind her.

Wylie 54:51

Okay, so you're coming up. Yeah as you get closer, Finn gets up, growls more, and barks at you. And she does not fail to notice this. She sees that Finn doesn't like you right now. And so she she looks at you and she says, What's going on?

Jared 55:08

We had an incident with Alan. He's he's gone mad.

Pyra 55:14

Dr. Fizzard. Yeah. That's wrong.

Jared 55:17

I don't know. He's been acting really strange. And so, um, yeah, you wanna you wanna show me more about this rocket sled?

Pyra 55:24

Should we go check on him?

Jared 55:26

Um, I don't think so. I think we should be uh we we want to check in here and um um and be good here.

Pyra 55:36

She pulls out her walkie-talkie and she says, Dr. Fizzard? Dr. Fizzard, are you there?

Kipo 55:43

Um everything on my person turns is a good thing.

Wylie 55:48

Yeah, you if you're still gas, you'd still be gas. And you might still be gas.

Alan 55:51

Oh, you know what? I'm not. Because if I was making myself known to him, then I would have ended that spell. So Okay.

Wylie 55:58

Um you can you can answer or you can not answer, it's up to you. Because Dr. Fizzard might not answer.

Mimir 56:04

Doesn't even know. Is there a radio on? You should roll something.

Wylie 56:08

Well, Ramshield has a radio too. It's in the kitchen now.

Gordon 56:11

And I would probably look at him and at least if if

Alan 56:18

I can get to the radio. Um be like, Yes.

Pyra 56:26

Dr. Fizzit, are you okay?

Alan 56:29

No. Jared has gone mad and he attacked me. I will please be Okay, you're gonna Please be careful if you see him.

Wylie 56:40

Okay, roll for initiative.

Jared 56:42

Cool.

Wylie 56:43

She's not surprised because she was feeling sus.

Jared 56:46

Yeah, no, I figured as much. I'm not super smart in this form, so uh nine.

Wylie 56:52

She gets a 19.

Jared 56:54

Yeah. She only does fire damage, though. I'm I should be good.

Wylie 56:58

Okay. Um, so she's been around for the conversations. She was around for the conversation about what's going on. So she charges towards you. She grabs you. So make a strength check to see if you can resist being picked up.

Mimir 57:14

Oh my gosh, you're so lucky.

Jared 57:17

I would keep unrolling so bad. Mamir's curse is real. Uh si uh six total. I have two guys communicating through uh electronics in front of me, and they keep making faces.

Wylie 57:31

Okay, she didn't roll out well, but she rolled to 10. So she s grabs you, picks you up, the door to the outside is right there. So she opens the door, shoves you out in the snow, and slams the door shut.

Mimir 57:43

Okay.

Wylie 57:44

You are not out in the cold.

Gordon 57:46

Cool.

Wylie 57:47

Okay.

Gordon 57:48

And so He just starts doing this. Flailing all around.

Mimir 57:53

Can I can I do something?

Jared 57:56

I have the keys, both sets of keys on me. Um now I don't know if the alien would be smart enough to not go back in there, but actually go to the area where we can do intelligence check.

Wylie 58:13

Okay, cool. With his stats, with the alien stats.

Jared 58:16

Gosh. What he get. Oh, it's so bad all the time. Uh, it's pretty smart though. Uh 12.

Wylie 58:24

Okay, 12. I'm gonna say immediately at this moment.

Jared 58:28

I want to get back inside.

Wylie 58:29

You want to get back inside. You go you were shocked, kind of. You didn't expect her to know that much about what was going on.

Mimir 58:34

Yeah.

Wylie 58:34

Um, because the alien wasn't necessarily present. Like he has kind of your memories, but as you remember, it's kind of hard for them to access everything as quickly as as you guys would. So you can try to get back into this door

Jared 58:46

Okay.

Wylie 58:46

Should we check back in in the kitchen or should we just keep going?

Jared 58:51

They're going, they're texting back and forth.

Wylie 58:53

Okay. So you guys do hear on the radio. Oh, wait, I'm gonna take up this. I was looking at the chat.

Alan 58:59

Your radio is going. The chat's not working for some reason.

Wylie 59:01

So you guys let me know if I'm not paying attention to something I should pay attention to.

unknown 59:06

All right.

Wylie 59:08

You've been shoved out into the snow.

Mimir 59:10

Yeah.

Wylie 59:11

And you hear um, you hear

Pyra 59:13

Pyra on the walkie-talkie say, I've just pushed him outside the door. He was he attacked me in the kennels. He's outside in the snow. We should make sure all the doors are locked.

Mimir 59:22

Yeah, good luck with that. No one listened to me when I try to lock the door. She carries a little more weight. Okay.

Wylie 59:33

And then she follows up,

Pyra 59:35

and if you don't do this, I will blow up your bed.

Jared 59:39

That makes sense. No, that makes sense.

Java Script 59:40

And then you hear Java say, um, I bought right on it.

Jared 59:46

Uh I want to unlock the door in front of me.

Wylie 59:49

Okay. The alien does not actually know which key. Yes. There's a lot of keys.

Jared 59:54

Neither did that errand. Neither did Jared. So even if it had full access in 24 Four hours with my body.

Wylie 1:00:01

This is gonna be a disadvantaged check.

Jared 1:00:04

And I'm probably gonna say like sleight of hand.

Wylie 1:00:08

Intelligence.

Jared 1:00:09

Okay.

Wylie 1:00:09

Yeah.

Mimir 1:00:10

Cool.

Wylie 1:00:11

And so make sure you're using its stats.

Mimir 1:00:13

The first roll was a natural 20, but it's with disadvantage. Okay.

Jared 1:00:19

Fifte.

Wylie 1:00:20

A 15. I'm gonna say you've you have 20 keys.

Jared 1:00:25

Okay.

Wylie 1:00:26

And so I'm gonna say that you've you're you've narrowed it down to five. To the last five. Okay.

Jared 1:00:31

Cool. Um cool. I will uh continue trying keys. Can I make another intelligence check?

Wylie 1:00:39

Yeah, hang on a second. Yeah, you can go ahead and roll it. Roll natural 20. You build a natural 20 intelligence check. Okay. Um as you fiddle with the lock, you realize that it's not just locked, it's blocked from the inside now.

Mimir 1:00:54

That's what I was expecting.

Wylie 1:00:55

So that's what she was working on.

Jared 1:00:57

Yeah. Um so um I am gonna go because I know I have about two hours ish in in the cold that like like I'll be like stunned if I but it is a storm.

Wylie 1:01:10

Yeah, it's so it's cold, it's colder than it was before.

Mimir 1:01:13

Yeah. So there's a couple things I want to do. Um I think what I want to do is go around to the uh kitchen and untie my ally.

Wylie 1:01:25

Okay. Nar who's outside in the snow. Okay. Um, so that's gonna take you a little bit because it is now nighttime.

Mimir 1:01:32

Yeah.

Wylie 1:01:32

So it's night, it's dark, it's windy, and it's snowy. Um and the storm isn't as bad as you guys thought, but you can't see, so it's not complete whiteout.

Mimir 1:01:43

Okay.

Wylie 1:01:43

If it was total whiteout, you wouldn't be able to see anything. You're probably going to have to put your hand against the wall and follow it around. And um you're gonna see the map again, the big map. So the alien wouldn't know. Oh the layout as well. So um we're gonna let Jared sort through that. Um, and I'm gonna check back in with our kitchen crew.

Jared 1:02:06

Because I would just go to the nearest door then. Because it if it's too cold, I think I would go to the start feeling your way around the building.

Wylie 1:02:13

Start. Okay. Yeah, so I'll I'll consult the map and um let you know about that in a second. Should we visit? He still has the pot? He has the pot currently.

Jared 1:02:23

I have the pot and I have the keys, both sets of keys. And then I don't I don't think I have it.

Alan 1:02:31

And then Bo is running around.

Jared 1:02:33

And Bo's perfectly fine. Everybody loves Bo Jam.

Mimir 1:02:38

Isn't it time for like sickness to come in or something like that?

Wylie 1:02:41

So they've been opening windows. So the arcanium sickness um, because he fixed the heater, but there was still some of the arcanium in there, but it does seem to be dissipating. Okay, can you give me investigation? Can you just roll a raw D20?

Jared 1:02:57

Yep.

Wylie 1:02:58

This is to see if Pyra beats you to the next door. And she gets advantage because she's inside and you are outside. Her highest roll is a 13.

Mimir 1:03:09

I rolled another natural 20. Mine old. Yeah, no joke. Okay. And no joke. That's really rare for me. I'm the worst roller. It's gonna come back to bite me when I go into combat, trust me.

Wylie 1:03:20

Okay, so you open the door and run into the mud room. She was entering the mud room from the dog kennels. She sees that you're in there, so she runs back into the dog kennels and she's barricading the dog kennel door that she came through. So you can't get to her right now. Um unless you want to. You can try to get that door. So your option is to go into the sleeping quarters, and then you'll have to go up into the biosphere. Cool. Then those are the only directions you can go if you stay inside. I do some.

Jared 1:03:46

Okay. Uh I've uh try to find bone jingles, I think, is what my next mission is.

Wylie 1:03:50

Okay. So you're gonna head through the sleeping quarters, you're gonna go up in the biosphere, and from the biosphere, you can kind of decide to go any direction. Cool. So we'll revisit that in a second.

Jared 1:03:57

Cool.

Wylie 1:03:58

Okay, kitchen crew.

unknown 1:03:59

Great.

Mimir 1:04:01

Another idea. Okay. Um you you do you do you all message you. You do these guys.

Wylie 1:04:06

You do hear the radio say he's back inside the building.

Gordon 1:04:10

He's bad.

Jared 1:04:12

I'm coming to get you.

Alan 1:04:15

I don't think um Java is turned. I think he's fine.

Gordon 1:04:22

Yeah, let's say he locked himself in originally. I guess can we call on the radio for Java?

Wylie 1:04:31

But you d so at this point, uh, do you call on him be like while the kennel stuff is happening, or do you call on him after he's gotten back into the building?

Alan 1:04:41

Yeah, I guess we have some leniency there, because we would have been chatting for a while while all that's going on, him trying to break back in. Um before. Well, I'd say before. So I say I get back, uh, I make myself not mist. And uh that's right, we do the whole walkie-talkie thing. Pyro knows. So now you know, Pyro knows, and I hope you believe me, because at this point, well, you said all of you said all of that on the on the radio. I said, Hey, Java say what have heard too. Yeah, Java would have heard it. Yeah.

Wylie 1:05:19

So did did Java ever say anything to um so when she had said to lock everything, she respond he responded, because she's like, I'm gonna blow up your stuff if you don't. Oh yeah.

Jared 1:05:31

Okay. Cool. Yeah, he's safe. Don't you worry.

Gordon 1:05:39

Now I'm worried. Okay.

Jared 1:05:42

This is so fun, guys.

Gordon 1:05:44

So weird. Now I'm like, what do I do?

Wylie 1:05:46

Okay, so you you came out to the chick to the kitchen, and so you came out of your gaseous form. And so what happens when Alan enters the kitchen and comes out of his gaseous form?

Alan 1:05:57

Well, that's what happened was I was called on the radio because my radio was then solid, and so we had that whole conversation. So after that happened, where Pyra said or did did the action because I said uh careful Jared attacked me. Um That's where we're picking it.

Wylie 1:06:15

The walkie-talkies, yeah, would have gone quiet. So Gordon is in the kitchen and you see this cool royal blue like smoke come in. And so that comes into the kitchen. Yeah. And then Alan Fizzard materializes in front of you.

Gordon 1:06:30

He probably would have had a moment where he was just like, Wow, it looks like spice is coming in the world.

Alan 1:06:38

Oh my spice! Oh, Alan.

Gordon 1:06:42

He's the spicy, he's the spice.

Wylie 1:06:45

Um Alan would would tell you he just said like Jared's bad news at this time.

Alan 1:06:52

Jared's infected, I saw the tentacles, then he doesn't really know what to do. I mean, really. Jared was the one with the plan. Because we don't know who else is infected at this point. Um, but at least I have acid of my own. So I know that does damage and hurts at least the um the squids. Um and with all of this going on, should I reveal? Should I hold on to what I've been working on?

Wylie 1:07:22

Um you can save that if you want.

Gordon 1:07:24

I'll save it. All right, save it.

Wylie 1:07:26

Unless I mean, unless you feel like you want it, if you feel like you would share that with Alan, or it's up to you.

Gordon 1:07:32

I mean, I probably would share it if I'm like, okay.

Wylie 1:07:35

I think that'll be fine.

Gordon 1:07:36

Yeah. All right. So Gordon has been working on uh making something because he realized that acid is what kills them. Yeah. Right. Of course, he's eaten the jelly and the idea of what Java said of the acid being in your stomach, right? So uh he has come up with this whole pot made of very acidic foods. So it's got vinegar, it's got pickle juice, it's got uh orange and citrusy fruit, it's got coffee, it's got uh tomatoes, it's got everything that can be acidic that's just been stewing into this. Very nice. How do we get them to eat it? I mean we just throw it on them. Oh, just throw it at them, yeah. Oh, I like that. And also uh for Gordon's sake, he'll probably put it on his axe. So when he cuts. Oh that's so good.

Wylie 1:08:31

Oh, the axe with acid. Great. So um, can you describe it in Gordon's voice, kind of what you've been doing?

Gordon 1:08:38

Okay, Doctor. So uh Dr. Vizard. Dr. Vizard. Uh so uh so what I have made here, I've made this wonderful concoction. Uh it it is not great for taste, but uh I have thought of all of the acidic foods and things that we have here, and so I have made this very, very acidic uh soup, if you will, uh which you can put on to for me I I will put onto my weapons. Um so whenever I cut them, it's almost like a very acidic thing.

Alan 1:09:12

Does it still taste good?

Gordon 1:09:14

I mean you can try yet. Actually, Gordon at that moment would be like, all right,

Alan 1:09:24

egg covered bread.

Brad 1:09:28

He would probably actually feed you some just to make sure you're not infected. Yeah, perfect. That's fine, it's fine. Okay, just to see although you're gonna be suspicious. Everybody's suspicious now. Oh no, now I'm afraid

Alan 1:09:40

he likes it. He likes it.

Mimir 1:09:42

It's good.

Gordon 1:09:44

That's hilarious. He loves the acidic things, and macrons are not acidic. Wow, learning something new about it. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

Wylie 1:09:55

So Alan Fizzard really likes sour patch kids. It's his favorite dessert.

Gordon 1:10:03

Okay, now I know what to make in the future.

Wylie 1:10:05

Always keeping track of what everybody likes to eat.

Gordon 1:10:07

Yeah.

Wylie 1:10:08

Okay.

Gordon 1:10:10

Um, and so yeah, I just shares that.

Alan 1:10:12

Okay, well, what do what do you think we should do?

Gordon 1:10:15

I don't know. Uh, we should leave Narr outside and shut the door, like Pyra said. Um I thought of smashing open the windows to make it cold, but I also don't want them to be able to get inside through a smash window, too. So I am not sure.

Alan 1:10:36

I think we should meet up with Pyra.

Gordon 1:10:39

I think that is a good idea. So we should probably well, we probably can't radio, because if we do, I would assume that the alien Jared can hear what what we are saying. Also, there is something about this uh gelatinous cube that that might be the way to save our friends and get rid of the aliens. But I don't know how to go about it.

Alan 1:11:05

I don't know where where you can find a gelatinous cube in our base. I mean, do we have your lab?

Wylie 1:11:15

You guys don't have a gelatinous uh gelatinous cubes are not common. Right.

Gordon 1:11:19

So the only gelatinous cube I know of is at the other base.

Wylie 1:11:29

Um and you hear Pyra say on the radio, um

Pyra 1:11:33

guys, I've made a rocket propelled sled so we can get to other base much more quickly now. I have hidden it. I have hidden it because this Jared guy is bad news now, but he knows I made it, but he doesn't know where I put it, so it's hidden.

Alan 1:11:52

I don't want to leave Java.

Gordon 1:11:54

Right.

unknown 1:11:56

He's dead.

Alan 1:12:00

But how I mean, how locked up is the the lab?

Wylie 1:12:03

Like Um, the lab has, you know, Java locked it previously, and he's probably secured himself in it now. So he's probably pretty well locked in because when Pyra said, hey, make sure like he definitely locked it when you guys left. Yeah and then he locked it down when Pyra activated him just now. So um he's probably good.

Gordon 1:12:23

I think we would need to find Pyra first. Yeah. Because if we did want to get Java, we would then need to go probably with Pyra so he knows that we're not all infected. Right. How? I mean

Alan 1:12:38

I can get to Can you still go into your uh It it's a little iffy because I'm not we're not in battle, but I still use spell slots and then would need a rest to get them back.

Mimir 1:12:52

Concentration for an hour. So it's up to the DM if that is like if you're technically still concentrating, and you can go back and forth between it. Because that spell is always like you know, it's always been like pretty things.

Wylie 1:13:08

So you're saying if you could go back into Gaseous form?

Alan 1:13:10

Yeah, just to like get to Java. But I'm thinking if I have anything else that I can do as well.

Mimir 1:13:18

Should we go over what I'm doing? Um just because I I I don't think they'll bet a game.

Wylie 1:13:26

No, it's okay.

Alan 1:13:27

Okay, go I mean we're gonna have to leave the kitchen. Yeah. So why don't you and I leave the kitchen? Okay. Together. Together. And we go around and just search around for Pyra.

Gordon 1:13:40

Uh-huh. So where was the last place that we knew she was? Dog kennels. Alright, then I say we have for the kennels. Just head that way. We would just have for the dog kennels. Okay.

Wylie 1:13:49

You gotta go to through the biosphere to get there. Yeah. Which is probably so you guys had to and the chickens.

Alan 1:13:56

Don't forget about the chickens.

Gordon 1:13:57

Well, yeah, it depends on is it all the chickens or was it just Hank? Just Hank. Yeah. It's probably all the chickens.

Wylie 1:14:03

Um, so are you guys being sneaky or not when we get to the channel?

Alan 1:14:07

Probably be, I mean, as sneaky as he could be.

Gordon 1:14:10

Probably not much. Okay.

Wylie 1:14:11

Well just give me both of you roll stealth checks, and we'll just see how how loud you are headed to the biosphere. Meanwhile, I'm gonna load the biosphere.

Alan 1:14:20

Oh, I rolled a natural one. And you rolled a natural twenty.

unknown 1:14:26

What is that sounds like

Wylie 1:14:35

Alan sits on his special chair and starts rolling?

Mimir 1:14:37

I love the idea of like down the hall, and you're like, and then you just pick him up and carry him.

Wylie 1:14:45

Okay, I'm gonna say that um That's tough.

Gordon 1:14:49

That is tough.

Wylie 1:14:50

Okay.

Jared 1:14:51

They could re-roll, maybe.

Gordon 1:14:53

Because that's that's we just swap the eye kit than that one.

Wylie 1:14:57

That's so crazy. Okay. So you guys are going to be entering the biosphere. In the center of the biosphere is Jared.

unknown 1:15:08

Cool.

Wylie 1:15:08

So Alan, you see Alan comes in and you see him very quickly. Um, because you enter and he's right there in the middle.

Mimir 1:15:17

Sure.

Wylie 1:15:17

Um, you only see Alan enter. Cool. You have no idea where Gordon is.

Jared 1:15:21

I'm here. Um I'm like grabbing the chickens, and I'm like,

Wylie 1:15:31

so there are currently three chickens sitting very well behaved near Jared. Um, and then the rest of the chickens are freaking out and are going all different directions.

Jared 1:15:43

The second he enters and I see him, I go, whoosh, I look at him and I make eye contact and I say, Doctor.

Alan 1:15:52

Is there any initiative rolled yet?

Wylie 1:15:54

Um, yeah, let's roll for initiative.

Alan 1:15:57

Oh, oh, would you I was gonna cast something.

Wylie 1:15:59

Okay, if if you would cast something right when you spot him, yeah, then that's fine. Because you yeah, you saw him and he hasn't seen everybody, anyone else yet. So great.

Alan 1:16:07

Invisibility on myself.

Wylie 1:16:08

Oh, nice. Okay. Thank you. So Alan is invisible. So I'm gonna take you off the map.

Jared 1:16:16

And will you honestly, if I don't see him anymore, I'm just assuming that he went into the thing and I'm gonna continue with the chickens. Okay. Because I'm not super smart, right?

Wylie 1:16:24

Okay, yeah. You're you're not you you're not with your normal Jared mindset. You have different priorities now. So now both Alan and Gordon are hidden within the biosphere. Okay.

Jared 1:16:39

Don't we want more chicken friends?

Gordon 1:16:44

Um, I think we would probably just be or do we still need to roll initiative?

Wylie 1:16:51

Um, I think because you guys are invisible, no. You you can just kind of let me know if you want to just say that you do something because he doesn't see you. With that not 20, you are hidden.

Alan 1:17:01

Two versus one right now, kind of, with the chickens. It might be arming them with cattles.

Wylie 1:17:09

Each of the chickens has a tiny gatling gun.

Gordon 1:17:12

Yeah, they all have guns. But remember, what's uh what are we trying to accomplish? Right. So I although yes, like

Mimir 1:17:19

I do have keys on my belt, two sets of keys. And you have the vase. And I have the I forgot about that. That is a good point.

Wylie 1:17:30

If you're able to restrain him, you could probably get the vase back.

Gordon 1:17:34

Alright. If I s so what do you think if uh if I snuck up on him and Oh you can? I mean, you're in stealth right now. Yeah.

Alan 1:17:44

But I wouldn't touch him. Because he's got tentacles and stuff.

Gordon 1:17:50

Okay, could I sneak up and then steal the vase?

Wylie 1:17:53

You have to do a slight of hand check, but you could do that.

Jared 1:17:55

I don't know what my slight of hand is. How's your uh is that decks? Um should I roll to see if I put down the base? Because I am herding chickens right now.

Wylie 1:18:03

True. Yeah, you could roll to see if you think that it wouldn't be as big a pro.

Alan 1:18:08

How big is this Pitcher?

Jared 1:18:10

I'm gonna say you just want high, because I'm cheering for you guys.

Wylie 1:18:13

Like big? And small. It's about this tall that I'd say wider. I'd say the size of a big gulp.

Jared 1:18:25

Well, I still have it in my hand.

Wylie 1:18:26

Okay. So he he's got he's holding it by the big handle. And at last known, it was still activated for acid. So

Alan 1:18:37

tip it.

Gordon 1:18:42

My sleight of hand is only a plus two, so I have really good sleight of hand.

Wylie 1:18:48

Oh man. And Alan is invisible. And you're invisible.

Gordon 1:18:52

And you are invisible.

Alan 1:18:54

So I think I think I'll try to do that.

Wylie 1:18:57

Okay. Alan's gonna sneak up and try to snatch the the infinite gulp.

Alan 1:19:01

Yes.

Jared 1:19:03

Come on. Come here, Mr. Chicken. Ooh. My friend, my army rises.

Mimir 1:19:13

You get advantage, though, because you're invisible, right? And so I rolled a natural one.

Wylie 1:19:19

But you have advantage because you're invisible.

Alan 1:19:25

Sick. That is a 23. Should I roll?

Wylie 1:19:30

Um, to see if you notice him?

Mimir 1:19:32

Uh just to see if I'm holding on to it well or anything like that, or does he just take it from the case?

Wylie 1:19:36

Yeah, for the 23, he gets away with it. Um, you could you're gonna notice that it's out of your hand.

Gordon 1:19:41

So, and I think it does turn invisible. Yeah, it turns invisible because it's now his. Yeah.

Wylie 1:19:46

So as far as you know, this thing you were holding just boop gone. Who does it? Because yeah.

Mimir 1:19:51

Is it I just think about your holding when you cast? Uh well, I mean, if you want to get technical with you know me. I'm a technical little guy.

Alan 1:19:58

Um anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it's on the target's person. So you does become visible. Yeah.

Jared 1:20:06

So I go, I go, shh, and I'm like. Oh no.

Alan 1:20:12

Maybe we got it back.

Jared 1:20:15

Chicken army find it. Find the doctor. Um, that's my new order is and I'll all over the radio. We need to find the doctor.

Gordon 1:20:33

All right. So do we want to do anything else or you just want to head to now we can head straight to uh pyra in the dog kennels with that? Yeah. Now we've got a weapon for you guys, and yeah. He doesn't have it.

Jared 1:20:47

What? Don't worry about that.

Gordon 1:20:50

Oh my gosh. I mean, we'll see. We'll see. All right. So yeah, let's just uh we'll stealthily head towards Pyra. Yep.

Wylie 1:20:57

Okay. Um so you're heading towards Pyra in the dog kennels. Do you tell anything to Java?

Alan 1:21:03

No, because we don't want anyone to hear anything. And he's locked in. Like he's locked up. That's fine. Unless we were leaving the bait the camp, I don't think we would okay.

Wylie 1:21:14

So you're just meeting up with Pyra at this point. Right. Okay. Okay. So you head towards the dog kennels and they are looking. And let me see how many different exits there are out of this to help determine. So um, Jared, are you looking for them? Like you're trying to figure out.

Mimir 1:21:32

Yeah, I think I'm gonna head to to Java because that's I that's logically what the aliens like. Oh, that's their smartest person that they're gonna go to. So that's where they're gonna make a weapon.

Wylie 1:21:42

You're heading to the research lab. Okay, cool. And they're heading to the dog kennels. Okay, so you guys meet up, you guys do meet up with Pyra. She was coming up the hallway towards the biosphere, but she meets up with you guys. So you can kind of behind the scenes to kind of determine, I guess, what you guys do.

Gordon 1:21:58

Honestly, I would because I would probably have a pot of it. Yeah, and I don't know. Yeah, and I would say, uh, uh Pyra, I needed you to take a bite of this uh just just for our sake, uh just to know if we are still good.

Pyra 1:22:11

Okay, this is emergency.

Gordon 1:22:13

Yes, this is emergency to take a bite of this.

Pyra 1:22:15

This is emergency snack?

Gordon 1:22:16

Yes.

Wylie 1:22:17

Okay. So she takes a bite.

Pyra 1:22:19

And uh she kind of goes, this is not your best.

Gordon 1:22:24

Okay. That that that's

Alan 1:22:26

not hurting her. Right. There's no pain. Okay.

Wylie 1:22:30

She's scrunches up her face, but she's like, you know,

Gordon 1:22:35

she starts wiggling and like convulsing.

Wylie 1:22:39

Yeah, so she seems fine. She doesn't she's not impressed by it, but she seems fine.

Gordon 1:22:42

Which is fine. You don't have to be impressed. Mega be good. But everybody's kind of enjoying this. So now I'm getting afraid. No. No. All right.

Wylie 1:22:53

Okay. Um, so we've got Jared heading to the research lab. And so I assume that you would probably My invisibility's off now. Mm-hmm. Because it only lasts a minute.

Alan 1:23:03

Yeah, it lasts up to an hour, but I don't want to keep using my concentration for it because then I want her to see me in the pot. Okay. So I hand the pot to her. Yeah. You you want it? You want the pot. Hold on. You got two pots. I think you should hold on to the pot. But I already have an acid move. So I'm not sure.

Gordon 1:23:20

Oh, you're true. You're true. Uh like Pokemon. Acid move. Acid move. So I would say uh yes, I'll I'll hold on to the pot. Okay.

Wylie 1:23:32

Okay. Great. All right.

Gordon 1:23:35

Um So then I'll see you. Yeah, I just I fill up the now the the acid, well, although that might eat through the pot. Yeah. Never mind, never mind.

Wylie 1:23:47

Um So I'm gonna say that you arrive outside the research lab. Cool. The research lab door has a very sturdy window that it would be very hard to break through. But it has a window so that people can see inside. So if there's something sensitive going on inside, and so Java's in there, like kind of looking around, and he's looking out the window.

Jared 1:24:06

I make a creepy. And I give him a really like blank stare and I go, Don't you wanna be a hero? Let me in. And I'm gonna start trying the keys one at a time. Slowly but surely, eventually gonna break.

Wylie 1:24:23

So as you're you're he could see you through the window. You're approaching. Please roll a D20 for me.

Jared 1:24:27

Okay. 19. Wow. Crazy rolls. Crazy rolls over here.

Wylie 1:24:34

That's a good roll. Okay, so you approach the door and you start trying the keys.

Jared 1:24:40

Be a hero, Java

Wylie 1:24:42

So I'm gonna say about every six seconds you can try the keys. Every turn. And so, and I'm gonna say that. So, how many keys? 20 keys.

Mimir 1:24:52

Yeah, 20 keys.

Wylie 1:24:54

So I'll have you roll for keys. Um you can roll for your first one right now. Cool. So um just roll a D20.

Jared 1:25:01

Oh man. Oh, I don't know what it looks like. Oh, and roll one nine.

Wylie 1:25:07

Okay, you got a nine. Cool. Um, so you don't you didn't get the key this time.

Gordon 1:25:12

That's right. And it goes down by one every time.

Wylie 1:25:15

Cool. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll I'll be complete you have 20 keys and it gets easier and easier every time that you roll. Um so you've um eliminated a couple. So yes, go ahead. Um, you guys are approaching the lab um with pyra and with the acid.

Gordon 1:25:32

With pyra, though, I would have wanted to ask before we get to the research where the uh oh the sled. The sled is at.

Pyra 1:25:40

It's outside.

Gordon 1:25:42

Where it outside.

Pyra 1:25:43

Near the kennels.

Gordon 1:25:45

Okay. Sounds good.

Alan 1:25:49

How many was on the sled?

Gordon 1:25:50

It's only two people on the sled. No, it was four originally, but she made two per sled.

Wylie 1:25:57

Oh, okay. Yeah, so she didn't she made she's made one rocket sled, but she made it pretty fast. So um she's like, Do you want me to make another one? If you have two sleds, we can make two rocket sleds.

Gordon 1:26:09

So we have one rocket sled.

Wylie 1:26:11

So far.

Gordon 1:26:12

And it only fits two people. Two people.

Pyra 1:26:14

Maybe we could maybe do three.

Gordon 1:26:16

I'll huddle it up. Well, we've got it in size.

Pyra 1:26:23

She's like, maybe I can extend a sled. Because the limit was the strength of the dogs, but this is a rocket.

Gordon 1:26:30

True.

Pyra 1:26:31

Not so much the space. So We could maybe fit three. You're a bit bigger, so maybe extend sled. Maybe you are skis behind.

Gordon 1:26:48

Gordon is just like almost like water skiing, but it's real ski. It's just being pulled, you know, like

Pyra 1:26:55

how how good ski are you?

Gordon 1:26:57

We'll see. I would say Gordon probably grew up. I mean, he grew up in the in the cold area, so. Which yeah, I'm I'm I'm pretty good.

Pyra 1:27:04

My Okay, this worked. You go to skis, me and Mr. Fizzard, we ride them the sled.

unknown 1:27:09

Okay.

Pyra 1:27:10

Maybe Java too. He's small.

Gordon 1:27:12

Alright. Yeah. Sounds good to me.

Pyra 1:27:14

Not Jared.

Alan 1:27:16

Not day. So we are headed to the research lab.

Gordon 1:27:21

That because that's our that's our thought. Yeah. Well because originally w

Alan 1:27:24

We get Java at this point, because everybody else is doing great. Doing great. Yep. Yep. Okay. Okay. Yeah, we had that way.

Jared 1:27:36

Okay. I don't think the chickens are with me. So my army is.

Mimir 1:27:39

My idea's clucking around. My idea if you stayed in the kitchen long enough is just to bring a giant uh armada of chickens to you guys.

Wylie 1:27:49

So the difficulty is they are also somewhat limited. Uh-huh. Like by still chickens. Yeah, they're still chickens. So it's not.

Jared 1:27:56

It's just funny the aliens like, oh, so many living things. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Wylie 1:28:01

Can you roll another D20 for me while you're talking about natural 20?

Mimir 1:28:04

Here we go. Come on. No way, just natural 20. I'm not joking you. Oh my goodness. That's my third natural 20, and I called it before.

Wylie 1:28:13

That's crazy. Crazy. Can you use different dice, please? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, that's fine. So that was not for keys. That was a roll for wisdom's save because Java's trying to do something. So you did succeed. You've succeeded twice now. Okay. Um so you can roll for keys now. Okay. You can use the different mini. You can use the same dice in the right. I'm just teasing.

Mimir 1:28:35

Uh 11. I'm trying to hit 20 other. I think Kippo would have just flipped the tape. I'm nailed.

Wylie 1:28:44

All right.

Mimir 1:28:45

That's crazy though.

Wylie 1:28:46

Okay, the key DC is down to 17. Cool. Um, and so you guys are approaching the lab. So I'd say that um you guys see him at the door facing the lab, drawing keys.

Gordon 1:29:07

Just key by key.

Wylie 1:29:09

And you guys are in the hallway. So if you want to sneak up, you need to do a stealth roll. And Pyra's with you guys, right?

Gordon 1:29:14

Correct.

Wylie 1:29:15

Okay.

Gordon 1:29:16

Do we want to sneak up? Well, it gives us a little bit of

Alan 1:29:18

how far away are we?

Wylie 1:29:20

Let me look at the map and see what the hallway looks like. It's a pretty short hallway to the research lab. So I'd say 30 feet. Cool. Once you leave the biosphere. And there's um three chickens.

Mimir 1:29:36

They're standing guard. My Chicken army Needs a leader.

Alan 1:29:42

So I see Jared.

Wylie 1:29:44

With his back to you. So roll stealth check to see if he hears you guys approaching.

Gordon 1:29:51

Nat 20.

Wylie 1:29:53

So silent. Gordon can be so quiet when it matters. Oh, nice. You do not hear them approaching.

Mimir 1:30:00

I love it. It doesn't help that I'm a yelling so loud "JAVA"

Alan 1:30:06

We could sneak up and just pour acid on him. We could, yeah. Might kill him though. It's always worth it. But I mean But also neutralize. I guess what I was gonna do was just like cast acid splash anyway, and just kind of like throw him off. But if we have the bucket, like I'd rather just dump a bucket on him. Right. Because I don't know what else to do to restrain. I mean, I have I could do that. Um I'm gonna cast Hold person.

Wylie 1:30:40

Okay. So um Jared, you ha you have to just roll a straight because you don't get any pluses to wisdom.

Mimir 1:30:47

13 

Alan 1:30:49

My DC save is 14

Mimir 1:30:52

Nice. Okay. But he's paralyzed.

Brad 1:30:54

Okay.

Jared 1:31:00

My chickens now activate. \

Gordon 1:31:04

Where are the chickens still on the biosphere?

Wylie 1:31:06

Um the normal chickens are. Um the possessed ones are wandering around in the hallway.

Mimir 1:31:13

Yeah, they're like standing behind me, I'm guessing. Okay.

Alan 1:31:16

So up to a minute.

Gordon 1:31:18

Okay. So uh Gordon would sneak up and probably uh well first he would whisper acid or acid. Um and then would sneak up to the chickens and just start pouring acid on all of them.

Wylie 1:31:32

Okay, okay, because you got that at 20 stealth, I think you're gonna have no problem. Nice, but we know with the composition of the chicken that it completely disintegrates and the um the the infinite gulp cannot pour that, you know, too much flu fluid at one time, but it's uh I think it's enough to cover all three chickens at this point. Yeah, because they're small creatures. So um we have some disintegrated chickens.

Gordon 1:31:57

Perfect.

Wylie 1:31:57

We have a frozen Jared. How long is he paralyzed for?

Alan 1:32:00

Up to one minute.

Wylie 1:32:01

Up to one minute. Okay. Um so what are you guys gonna do in your one minute? Quickly.

Gordon 1:32:05

So from there we just need to Now you need to restrain him. Okay. You need to grapple him or we get Java out and out.

Wylie 1:32:13

Mm-hmm.

Gordon 1:32:14

I think I think we get Java. You get Java? Um Yeah, yeah, that's what we should do. I I think at that point, Java, we would we would probably be like, you know, stop being stealthy. Mm-hmm and then talk to Java.

Wylie 1:32:31

Okay, okay. So we can talk to Java real quick. Yeah. So Java would see you guys.

Gordon 1:32:34

Specifically Pyra, because he had listened to her to lock the door.

Wylie 1:32:37

Mm-hmm. Yep. And so he would see that you guys stopped Jared and you stopped the chicken. So he would trust you guys and he'd be like,

Java Script 1:32:44

um, is it okay if I open the door now?

Gordon 1:32:47

Yes. Hurry. Yes, hurry.

Java Script 1:32:50

Let's get about with the cold immediately.

Gordon 1:32:53

That was a good idea. Yeah.

Wylie 1:32:55

Okay. So um can you you guys want to transport him out into the cold? Yeah. Okay. Um, and do you do anything to restrain him?

Alan 1:33:02

I mean, if we have rope,

Mimir 1:33:03

I would love handcuffs on me.

Brad 1:33:05

Oh, I have to do it.

Mimir 1:33:08

I have literally everything you need. I have keys, I have handcuffs, I have all the weapons. Yeah. Yep, yep.

Alan 1:33:15

I mean, if that's it is hanging there.

Gordon 1:33:18

Would definitely okay, would steal his keys. Both sets. There's two sets of keys. Yes. Both sets of keys and nice. Uh we would uh handcuff it. Put him in handcuffs.

Alan 1:33:28

Yeah, I'd even, if we had I don't know how long that takes. I'm probably getting greedy with it then. So we just handcuff him.

Wylie 1:33:34

Handcuff him, and you got him out in the cold immediately. Stick him out there. Um so if the um I I would say that there's probably like uh so we don't windows on all the doors outside. It's dark out. Um, but maybe if somebody has like a light cantrip or something, um that way you could keep an eye on him.

Mimir 1:34:00

I have a lantern on my belt too. And um I literally have everything for emergency. So that's my job.

Wylie 1:34:07

And so you know Nar was outside for about an hour and he did not transform or grow tentacles or anything like that. Um and so with those observations, um,

Java Script 1:34:18

Java concludes is uh I think that because it's so cold outside, it's not able to grow the tentacles unless it's been like severed or dismembered. So I think it's gonna stay inside his body where the that most warmth is. Yeah, that it won't be able to crawl around.

Gordon 1:34:40

Okay. So do we just want to get out of there now? Leave him and go. That's what I think.

Wylie 1:34:47

Just leave them out in the cold.

Gordon 1:34:48

Leave them in the cold, and then we go to the other base. Now we gotta deal with them, but yeah.

Wylie 1:34:54

Okay, all right.

Gordon 1:34:56

Okay.

Wylie 1:34:57

Um, so Nar is out in the cold.

Gordon 1:35:00

Yeah, I'm waiting for Bojangles to show up because he's just freelance, just closing windows up. It's like Jared, this is a buff window.

Jared 1:35:09

Oh, worry, yeah. Every window. Every window.

Wylie 1:35:16

All right, so you guys, you, um, so Alan, Pyra, yeah, and um Java load up on the sled and take off. And you're behind on skis.

Gordon 1:35:28

Hold on, what did you say? Oh, you're behind on skis. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm like, what about uh Gordon?

Wylie 1:35:34

So we're yeah. We're we're jet boating it all the way all the way back.

Mimir 1:35:41

Uh Jangles, my secret character, is hiding in the sleep.

Alan 1:35:46

We still have a whole army of people at this base who were just

Gordon 1:35:50

Yes, but they they were actually very they were just being weird. Yeah, yeah. Very chill. We're just being weird. Which we we know what we need to get. Yeah. Like literally get it and get out and let Pyro gonna get it though. I got I was out of there.

Alan 1:36:06

Let's get there.

Wylie 1:36:07

So you guys would have about an hour. Um it's it's you know, it like we said, it's stormy, but it's not too bad. Um and now and now you guys have you have the jet the you know, and um she was with you going to the base before. So she's able to navigate pretty good. So I'm gonna roll for her to see how well she navigates. Okay, good. She rolled pretty good. Um she got a 16 and then hit a bow.

Mimir 1:36:37

You have a jail in your your you have a screw in your in your sled.

Wylie 1:36:44

Yeah, she got a 16, and I'm gonna add survival to that, which is just a plus three for her, but that's a total of 19. You guys get to the base um real fast. Like 15 minutes, you guys are there.

Alan 1:36:55

Yeah, let's go.

Wylie 1:36:57

So you're at the you are now outside Istid JoKul.

Alan 1:37:02

Here we are again.

Pyra 1:37:03

And she says, Don't worry, I also brought the explosives.

Gordon 1:37:06

I see. Oh, no way. Okay. So we need the gelatinous cube. Fifteen minutes?

Wylie 1:37:14

Mm-hmm. That's how quick you guys got there.

Alan 1:37:16

How long? I mean, a short rest is like an hour, right? 30 minutes or an hour, yeah. And we wait another 15. I want to get some spell slots back. Yeah.

Wylie 1:37:29

I mean, you could say it took a little bit of time. You know, if Alan would have maybe rested while you guys were getting some stuff done, you know.

Mimir 1:37:36

You get that arcane recovery. I'll take that. You get one spell. Do I have it? Uh any wizard has arcane recovery.

Alan 1:37:42

Oh, I have it right here. Spell slots plus three, short rest. Yeah. Okay, well, there you go. Perfect. Cool. Okay. Um up to th third level. Oh, we need to plan. Thank you. Yes. That's all I have. Yeah. Yeah. So it's in the middle. We said we would be back anyways. So here's what I say we do.

unknown 1:38:07

Oh man.

Alan 1:38:08

So someone can knock on the door and say, like, oh, we have um Argo. Arg Argo? Agro. Aggro. We've got aggro's body. Um, and it's just like a duffel bag wrapped up. Like there's nothing in there. It's the explosives. But while that's happening. Yeah, it's great. Oh, that's really good. It's the explosives. And there's a timer on the street. So, but before any of that happens, somebody else snuck around. Because we went in through the kitchen first. We did. Mm-hmm. And there's access doors out uh outside of each room, correct? And there's windows.

Wylie 1:38:45

But there's windows, there's exterior access room.

Alan 1:38:49

So someone on the outside could see inside the kitchen to make sure no one's in there.

Gordon 1:38:55

Real quick. The way this looks like it's set up. Well, I guess there's uh these are there wouldn't be any way to like just literally enter into the ice room. Yeah, never mind.

Wylie 1:39:07

Um yeah, the ice room in particular does not have a strictly external door.

Mimir 1:39:16

Um but it does have windows, right?

Wylie 1:39:18

I thought each of each of the rooms had Yeah, each of the room had windows. Um each of the rooms does have windows. And you know that they didn't like the ice room, but um, they also told you not to turn the thermostat to be warmer because that would liquefy the gelatinous cube. Um and so maybe I'm one thing.

Alan 1:39:39

Oh, well the one the uh the one room's completely destroyed. Like the windows were cracked open. Where is it?

Wylie 1:39:47

Um that was the the one research lab. So the first room was the utility room, and then you went up to the dog kennels.

Alan 1:39:55

Yep.

Wylie 1:39:55

Um the utility room was fairly cold, but mostly because the heat was off. The dog kennels had smashed windows, the lab above it had smashed windows. So even though you guys got the heat back on, um, probably the main rooms that they'd be able to access is utility, the cavern room, the sleeping quarters, the two rec rooms, and the kitchen. Or the the kind of study rec room, and then the game room. Um so those would be the main spaces that they would be able to access. So the acid lab, the ice room lab, the uh jelly lab, the and the dog kennels would all be pretty um cold still.

Gordon 1:40:36

Is that the so just for me to clarify that's the type top right room, the one below it?

Wylie 1:40:43

And the one below it?

Gordon 1:40:44

Oh, and the dog kennels. Those are all yeah.

Wylie 1:40:47

These are all of them on the far right, except for the bottom most one, because that's the utility room, and then obviously the ice room. So the dog kennels would have an exterior door, absolutely. So the dogs don't have to go all the way through the labs and stuff. Right. Um, so you could enter through the dog kennels, which would be cold, and then you can't.

Alan 1:41:06

I guess if they're still down in the cavern. Yeah. They wouldn't answer last time. Because we knocked.

Jared 1:41:12

Well, you did turn on the heat.

Gordon 1:41:14

We did turn on the heat. So any any of those rooms before, I would say that they would be fine. Do we want to stick with the distraction option? Honestly, I would say we just go in through the cold rooms that they're not gonna go into. Yeah. Alright. So, wait.

Wylie 1:41:31

Sorry, I'm just moving.

Gordon 1:41:32

Oh, you're placing them.

Wylie 1:41:33

I'm not exact this is not uh canon. I'm just getting them out of the way. Um That's what the DM says.

Gordon 1:41:41

It's not canon.

Wylie 1:41:42

Well, they'll only take time to cover it all, but um this will probably work good. Okay.

Gordon 1:41:47

You also need to get Jared out of the way.

Wylie 1:41:49

Jared's gone. Sorry, Jared. Um and then we just need.

Gordon 1:41:56

I would just say we walk around to either dog kennels or the other one to access the ice room. Or if it'd be worth it to uh shut off the heat. Well, we're about to blow it up, so unless you don't want to do that.

Alan 1:42:14

No, I do, but not right away. Because we still have to get in there and get the ice. Right, right. I would say we get in, get the ice, I get out and get the gelatinous cube outside. Right. That's what I'm saying.

Gordon 1:42:27

Do we know how much the cube weighs?

Wylie 1:42:29

Let me see how big it is.

Mimir 1:42:33

If it's a regular gelatinous cube, it's uh size large. But they can also be cut down into smaller pieces. So it just depends on what form they have.

Wylie 1:42:43

Um you guys took everything off of Jared, including the fire knife.

Jared 1:42:48

Yes.

Wylie 1:42:49

And it appeared that the fire knife had been used to cut the gelatinous cube Ice form.

Alan 1:42:56

Okay

Wylie 1:42:57

Yeah. So based on this um I think probably in discussing this with Java, Java would share this information. Now he knows we're talking about a cube and we're going to retrieve a cube. Um so a trait of the cube is that it is able to fill an entire space and is transparent. So if you even if you got a small portion of the cube, it could expand and um fill a space. Um so you don't necessarily need the entire thing. Okay. So um who's going where? What are you guys doing?

Alan 1:43:29

I've got invisibility, so I could sneak in and hold the knife, which would still be invisible. Yeah. So I could go get it while you guys want to maybe draw their attention away. If possible. Like if we ru I'll go in and you somebody goes in with me. And that way if they see you, you can walk away from me, take them away while I go in and get so I'm going in with you. Maybe you, yeah. Yeah, and then we could just have Pyra just set up explosives.

Wylie 1:44:05

Mm-hmm.

Gordon 1:44:05

That'd be possible. Because she could probably just do it from outside, right?

Wylie 1:44:08

Mm-hmm.

Alan 1:44:08

Yeah, she she so because if you blow up the buildings, like the cold's gonna get um all they could do is hide into the cavern at that point. And she said she's got enough to even blow up down there. She should blow up everything because that's what I ordered. That is what you ordered. It's what I was a good guy.

Wylie 1:44:25

So do you want her to plant um external charges as well as like cavern charges?

Alan 1:44:31

So we're not gonna knock. We're just gonna

Gordon 1:44:33

No, we're just gonna sneak in, okay, get the cube.

Wylie 1:44:36

So everybody roll stealth. And Pyra's gonna roll as well.

Mimir 1:44:40

Do you want me to roll for somebody?

Gordon 1:44:42

I got a 19.

Wylie 1:44:43

Okay.

Alan 1:44:44

I've got an eight, but I'm also invisible.

Wylie 1:44:47

Y es, you have advantage. You can roll again. Twelve. Okay, you pass. It was ten because they're not in they're not in any of the rooms that you guys are entering. It's stormy. So you made it. Um and so Pyra is going around the external, and so you guys enter through the dog kennels.

Alan 1:45:05

Um, can you get from the dog kennels to the ice room? You can. Then yes. Then yes. Yeah.

Wylie 1:45:09

So you enter in dog kennels, you guys go into the ice room, super stealthy.

unknown 1:45:14

Yes.

Gordon 1:45:16

Okay, everything.

Wylie 1:45:18

Yeah, you guys see the cube there. It's frozen. The heat has not been turned on in this room. They didn't enter it. They didn't want the cube to be thawed out, so they've left it alone.

Gordon 1:45:26

Okay. So you cutting off.

Alan 1:45:29

I'll just get a like as big as a chunk as I can carry, I guess.

Gordon 1:45:34

Yeah. And I'll do the same. Okay.

Wylie 1:45:36

Like like one that both of you can kind of carry.

Gordon 1:45:38

Yeah, we could do one that was that both carry. Right. Or or you could do two separate cubes.

Wylie 1:45:44

Yeah, you could even do two separate cubes, something like that.

Gordon 1:45:48

Yep.

Wylie 1:45:48

Okay.

Gordon 1:45:51

And then we walk out.

Wylie 1:45:53

Okay. Yeah. You guys can sneak back out. You got a really high stealth check, and Java's waiting with the sled.

Gordon 1:45:58

Love every self actually aren't checking. Yeah. Oh, that was easy. I don't know. I do this more often. Yeah, our plan worked. Interesting.

Wylie 1:46:11

Um.

Gordon 1:46:12

So we get back out to the sled.

Wylie 1:46:14

Yes. Get back out to the sled. And um, can you tell me odds or evens?

Jared 1:46:20

Uh evens.

Wylie 1:46:21

Okay, evens. Okay. And call it again. Odd. Odd this time.

unknown 1:46:28

Yeah.

Wylie 1:46:30

Okay. So that was luck checks to see if Bojangles found you. So I'm just letting you know that's what it was rolling for. Okay, so you guys get to the sled.

Mimir 1:46:38

You guys I just imagine the most that and it's acid, so it's just like a greenhouse smoke. Oh, that's it.

Wylie 1:46:50

You guys get back to the sled all sneaky. Um, you know, uh let's see. Alan hops in. He pulls his cozy little hat down.

Alan 1:47:00

He pulls the strings so that the hood gets real small in the circle shape over his nose.

Wylie 1:47:04

He's got mittens on.

Alan 1:47:05

Yeah.

Wylie 1:47:06

Um Java Java's hopped on the front. Pyras standing on the back of the um where the driver normally stands on the sled to direct it. And um, you know, you guys start to pull away. Gordon, Gordon's on skis behind. Yeah, amazing. And and then um Dr.

Alan 1:47:22

Fizzard says Oh yes, please. Blow it.

Wylie 1:47:29

We zoom in, and then Dr. Fizzard says, he says, blow it. You guys speed away, and the most epic explosion happens behind you.

Alan 1:47:38

I cast, I cast slow on the on the explosion. Slow move.

Wylie 1:47:45

Glowing green and purple smoke rises. First flames, and then this glowing green cloud almost looks like its own aurora behind you, rising. As you guys don't even look back. As you just power off through the snow all the way back to your own base.

Alan 1:48:05

That isn't tight. That's tight.

Wylie 1:48:10

Couldn't have gone better. You arrive back at your own base. Unfortunately, when we called odds, it was even. When we called even, it was odds.

Alan 1:48:20

So oh man, the luck is starting to turn. That's okay. I want to be a good guy.

Mimir 1:48:28

I'm not the DM. I'm not the DM.

Wylie 1:48:32

So when you guys return to the base, um Bo Jengles has been wandering around the hallway.

Alan 1:48:39

Shutting windows.

Wylie 1:48:41

Shutting any windows, doesn't know where anybody's gone. He's trying to find anyone. He's trying to find anyone to turn and doesn't know what to do. So we might have some issue with some more chickens. Um, I guess I should roll for chickens. Odds are evens.

Mimir 1:48:58

Oh, evens.

Alan 1:48:59

You know chickens are roll for chickens.

Wylie 1:49:02

ODDS! He cannot catch a single chicken. Yeah. Those chickens are smart. Yeah.

Mimir 1:49:07

They cut on after the third one. It was just like, but and they're way faster. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wylie 1:49:12

So with time on your side, you guys are able to take the gelatinous cubes into the research lab. Um, you're able to thaw them out, reassemble them. Um, Java has some safety measures in place to prevent this cube from getting out of hand because it can suck you into it.

Alan 1:49:29

Right.

Wylie 1:49:30

So um he worked out a setup, a temporary setup for it, and he's like, uh, we're gonna have to put this thing outside immediately as soon as we're dead. You've seen it. So I'm gonna say he um you guys set up like kind of a like a sled that it's on inside so that you can slide it in and out of the lab without touching it. I think you guys would since everyone is kinda incapacitated and you just avoid bojangles, you get on into the lab, you get it all set up, and so what do you do to uh first potentially?

Gordon 1:50:01

I would actually probably go share Jared. Yeah, yeah. We probably want to grab first to go Okay. Yeah, do we throw him into the cube? Is that what Java's? I mean, what would you do?

Alan 1:50:10

Well, he would want to know how the handbook says to throw somebody in the street. Well he would.

Gordon 1:50:16

Okay, Java, do we just throw him into the cube? What what do we do?

Java Script 1:50:19

I mean, this is only a uh a hypothesis, so I don't know.

Alan 1:50:23

You're gonna stir the units a high does acid burn rope.

Wylie 1:50:29

Yeah, it would burn rope.

Jared 1:50:30

Yeah, it burns everything.

Gordon 1:50:32

Well technically though, I mean can you remind me what Java's

Java Script 1:50:36

uh the hypothesis is that um the this uh matter, this foreign matter, um it will leave its host if its host is no longer a compatible host. So if the host is being consumed by acid, it's gonna want to get out of that environment. So I think if we stick Jared into this cube, that this alien material will then leave his body. And then if we extract him before the acid kills him, that's the thing is how do you extract him because that's what and then pull him out.

Gordon 1:51:14

So Okay. So what about mage hand? Can mage hand go through? Ten pounds. That's all I can do with mage hand. Right, but you need damage, also the mage hand. But magic do not take damage. I mean cut him out with the knife, the flame knife again. I mean, there is that

Wylie 1:51:38

so typically a um an individual that is within the cube can make a DC twelve strength check to get out. So I would say if you guys are willing to risk some acid damage yourselves, you could put your hands in.

Alan 1:51:53

Oh, yeah. And pull it up. I will before we do that, I will cast uh mage armor on myself.

Wylie 1:51:58

Okay. Mage armor.

Mimir 1:52:00

Just in case this fails.

Wylie 1:52:03

And you could use something a little sturdier, um, like maybe some chains, handcuff, right? Yeah.

Mimir 1:52:10

Oh, I think the handcuffs will technically be uh like arcane based because we're so they're magical.

Wylie 1:52:17

And I think it does not I think it doesn't do damage to magic things.

Mimir 1:52:21

Yep, it does not do uh damage to anything magical. Okay. But mine clothes are not doing great up.

Wylie 1:52:27

Yeah.

Gordon 1:52:28

Do you want to come out naked or alive? Yeah.

Wylie 1:52:32

So you can shove uh you could theoretically shove him in with a handcuff, you know, fully putting the whole hand inside and then hold on to the other handcuff and pull him out without having to put yourself in.

Gordon 1:52:43

And I'm assuming Okay. And so yeah, since that's a acid thing, the the mushrooms aren't gonna be able to get out of you. Right. Or it'll just fizzle out. Oh, sorry, and a kill with it to you. So let's do that. Let's give him a little bit sauce him in there with the hands. Um I've got 16 armor class now. Uh I'll I don't mind doing it just because I have high HP being the one to throw them in with him handcuffed to me. Okay. That's awesome. Okay. Yep.

Jared 1:53:11

Ah, buddy.

Wylie 1:53:15

So you shove Jared into this giant cube, and for a moment his body is just floating in this transparent green jelly. And then the jelly starts making this fizzling sound, and you see this the purple jelly just coming out of his body from every pore, uh, from his ears, just coming out of his body. It almost like jelly being mixed with jelly, it almost kind of looks like a purple smoke, even as it's just exiting in any way that it can. Um, and it comes out of his body and immediately dissolves within the green cube. It is highly sensitive to this acidic nature. And um, Jared, you are going to take um, because you're in there, you're gonna take three D6 acid damage. Okay. Um, so let me get some D6 here. I'll find my greatest looking ones. Nice. Okay.

Mimir 1:54:17

This is technically an attack.

Wylie 1:54:19

Okay, you take 12 acid damage. Okay. Um and at that point, you guys no longer see any more purple coming out of his body. You can pull him on out. You have to mean DC twelve um strength check.

Gordon 1:54:37

DC twelve. To pull him out.

Mimir 1:54:38

Uh and then I'll bonus action help. So you get advantage.

Gordon 1:54:41

Oh, I got a 19. 19. You pulled Jared's.

Wylie 1:54:47

Jared, you can't remember anything that happened. You just remember that you were going to the dog kennels to get Finn to help you identify any potential uh any potential, you know, body snatched individual, and that's the last thing you remember was going to the kennels. So now you wake up in a cube of acid handcuffed to Gordon.

Jared 1:55:14

Oh well, uh what's up, guys?

Alan 1:55:20

We need to go get the other guys. We need to go get um Nar and Bo.

Wylie 1:55:27

Well, and you hear you hear boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and you see at the window, you see Bo Jangles' face, and he's like, um, hey, what what are you guys doing in there?

Jared 1:55:38

Actually, that's a good point. We have just the recipe for you, Mr. Jangles.

Alan 1:55:46

I cast hold person on the nails. There we go.

Wylie 1:55:50

All right, he's gonna roll his wisdom save.

Alan 1:55:53

Uh is it a wisdom?

Wylie 1:55:55

I believe so.

Alan 1:55:57

Yeah, it is a wisdom saving.

Wylie 1:55:59

Not good.

Alan 1:56:00

Perfect. It is wisdom.

unknown 1:56:03

Cool.

Wylie 1:56:03

Yeah, he rolled a six, so I don't think he's very wise. Grab him. Yeah, you got him.

Alan 1:56:08

Throw him in. Yeah, we'll do the thing.

Gordon 1:56:11

Okay, can't so then just send him through.

Wylie 1:56:15

I assume just for good measure, you guys torch all the rest of the chickens. Oh, I mean, you could actually the chicken wouldn't survive.

Mimir 1:56:22

What we'll do is we'll bring a dog around and get down again. Yeah, the original plan. Exactly. The original plan was that.

Gordon 1:56:30

So Bo is good. And so now we need to go get Gnar.

Wylie 1:56:33

Yep, and you can do the same thing with Gnar. He was unconscious to start, so it works pretty quickly. And you have saved your entire staff.

Alan 1:56:40

We didn't have to kill anybody.

unknown 1:56:42

No, we did kill the other Base.

Mimir 1:56:45

Let me tell you the we're getting double time.

Gordon 1:56:49

But I will say they told us to do it. They did tell us to do it. They did tell us to do it. Yeah, we're just following orders. Yeah.

Alan 1:56:57

And aggro was not my fault. Yeah.

Jared 1:57:00

That's my fault. I live with that killer.

Alan 1:57:03

I never, I never missed on a whole person. That's crazy. That's crazy.

Wylie 1:57:08

So you guys have saved your base. You're you're pretty relieved. You're pretty happy. The sun starts to rise. The storm has cleared. The um ice crystals are sparkling. It's so cold that the air, the little bit of moisture that's in the air, is sparkling as well. And it just feels like a whole fresh new day.

Jared 1:57:35

I actually don't mind the cold anymore.

Gordon 1:57:39

That's when uh Gordon just whispers at the cup and goes, Kavas. And then begins to sip Kavas.

Wylie 1:57:46

Kavas from the infinite gulp.

Alan 1:57:50

Alan retires. Uh he's like Gretfire.

Jared 1:57:54

Jared also retires.

Gordon 1:57:58

Gordon actually just walks away because he thinks he lives right down the road. He just starts walking. He's like, all right, I'm going to head home, guys. It was a fun time.

Jared 1:58:08

What a hero.

Wylie 1:58:11

So you guys do have to wait um almost two whole weeks to be picked up by the. But you guys get the information back. You get some information through about the other base, so there isn't a but um, at least as far as you know, there's no war between the the Nomish Dwarven Alliance.

Jared 1:58:28

That's crazy that they uh they glue up randomly. Well about that, but thank you so much.

Mimir 1:58:37

We appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, you're awesome Wylie

Wylie 1:58:40

Yeah. This is really fun, guys. I'm glad we landed that ship.

Kipo 1:58:44

Yes, yes, worked out really well, actually. And changed two of Mimir's car tires.

Wylie 1:58:51

So if you want to hear our chit chat and debrief of this fun, um, I think five-episode mini-series, um, check out our bonus episodes behind the blunders that will be available on our Patreon. And we do have a major campaign coming soon. So if you liked this little sample, we have a much longer story planned. Um, so please subscribe so you don't miss anything. That's it for now. Thanks.

Gordon 1:59:19

Thank you, everybody. See ya!

Alan 1:59:36

Oh, what?

Jared 1:59:38

What just what just happened? Hey! Dr. Fizzard! What? We just ended our our one one one off series!

Gordon 1:59:46

But are you falling asleep again?

Jared 1:59:49

No, I I was awake the whole time! What? You can't fall asleep, we have so much more to go! We have a full campaign coming! What do you mean? Yeah! Checking it out! And we have behind the scenes things. Like five if you pay five dollars a month, you'll get episode art and free episodes of Behind the Blunders.

Java Script 2:00:08

Well, to be clear, that would be on the Patreon.

Jared 2:00:11

Oh, that's my bad. I'm just a security guard.

Gordon 2:00:15

If you want, you can just send Gordon the $5. It uh he'd take care of you, he send you food, you know, no problem. No problem.

Alan 2:00:23

Oh, okay. Well, I have to ask Sandy if she's got any any of my uh any of my allowance for this month, but that that that sounds like a pretty good deal.

Jared 2:00:33

Alright, back to locking up all the doors. We got an emergency 1843 coming on this way.

Gordon 2:00:39

Where's my spice?
