In our last episode, Markon led the team to the Gulf Ice Tree and helped draw away the trees draw before they face the tree itself. The tree put up a mighty battle, raising its roots from the ground, but it could not stand up to Wail and Scythe, Ichabod's Magic, or Days, Horns. Our adventurers today are David who plays Ichabod the Wizard. I'm going to cast on the Wail Connect.
Kieran who plays Wail and the Barbarian. Oh no, oh I know what that is. Theron who plays they the Druid. That was fun.
And our DM Hazel. Look at that nice aura. They can handle that. Welcome, fellow Trappers, to Legends of Shell.
I heard a fucking lie. I'm not excited about that. I'm going to dash over to Markon. That's so cool.
That's a fire thing you cast on me. I thought your other breath is great too, but it was fun watching you light it up. That was really great. Never done anything like that before.
I'm getting fine familiars. Is that hang dead? Can I do a nature check on it? See?
It is dead. Cool. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. Can I do a nature check on it? See?
19. It is dead. Cool. At least that's one more thing we don't have to worry about.
Would love a short rest. That's better. Feel free to have one. You earned it.
You mean you feel like beyond? Yeah, no. I'm only down on it but now. Okay.
I need all of my hip. I want you to have to heal me. Oh, new month. Oh, what month is it?
So much. Alright. So anything else you guys would like to do here? Actually, was there anything you saw on the throw?
Oh, I have a special sword. What's like on the special sword? Mmm. Where's the special sword?
And then the creature you had berries which you may or may not be interested in. I look at the berries. I'm always interested in berries. Okay.
Do you have any new berries? I don't know. No, no, no berries. Okay.
I was wondering if it was like a savvy delight in putting them in the berries. Do you want to make a check? Okay. Nature?
Nature? Sixty. You are looking at these berries and looking at them and smelling them. There are two colors.
They have red berries and white berries. Yeah. So you can take them and you kind of look at them and you kind of smell them. And you would think that the red berries and the white berries would smell different.
And at first you think they do. But then you realize that no, some of the red berries and the white berries smell the same. And some of them smell different. So there are two different kinds of berries on here.
But not based on color. But they're not based on color. Okay. With a 16, I can't know anything about what they do.
Like I can't compare them to other berries that I've seen. See which one like maybe they're poisonous or maybe they're good. Are they like good berries? With a 16, I'm going to say no, you can't.
Not even the poisonous. Okay. No, they're different. But you don't know how they're different.
Other than this one. I'll take a try. I'm trained in nature. I look up less too.
Oh, I thought you were going to put your finger in. Yeah. Yeah. 14.
Yeah. I'll actually try what we really want to. Maybe when we rest for the night. Okay.
So I'll take some berries and save them. Okay. Okay. Some of each kind.
Do you want to get an election for both of those? Yeah. Four of each. Okay.
Right back down. Okay. Oh, sorry. Besides.
Et cetera. Yeah. Crossover. Yeah.
Across the thrall is a heavy crossbow where the thrall is used and a person on their side. There is 50 gold pieces. Nice. They're carrying a black longsword.
How does it look about? I think I'll start using the tech magic as a ritual and take a look at all the belongings of the thrall as well as the tree and the berries to see if anything sheds any magic. Okay, the berries are magical. Okay.
And the sword is also magical. Okay. In that case, I will use Identify as a ritual. First, I'm a sword to see what its abilities are, if it has a command word to activate whatever.
And then I'll cast it again on one of the two different types of areas that we've identified. And then if that's where we cast it on, the other kind of area. Is this the sword? Is it a sword that's completely normal?
But if you're a jury, what it gives you a plus 10? It says that exactly. All right, let's move. It's the very that you identify.
It's the very sweet smell of berries. One of the, it's the sweeter smell of berry. And it is poison. So eating one will deal 20 poison damage.
Now. And you also think that there's probably a limit on how long it can stay potent. So if it's not used in one before, it loses its potency. I'll ditch the poison berries.
What about the elixir berry? You'd be identified that there are two types or more than two. There are two types of berries. So if I do identify as a ritual on the other type, those are life-rut.
If you eat them, you get sanded points. It also removes any disease that you have suffered. Those are also might be spied within a day. I'm going to eat one.
That'll finish you like me. Trees right there. You can grab as many of those as you think you're going to need in a day. I don't know.
I'll pocket 10 of them when I'm just tossing out tomorrow. Someone should probably read the sword for the audience. The sword is a sword of severance. The sword of severance is a powerful magical weapon designed for one purpose to free a specific individual from a powerful curse, corruption, or possessing spirit that has rooted in their soul.
The sword is crafted with this purpose and person in mind. It cannot be turned to another target once made. The name of this individual is usually carved into the hill. Push.
By the way, does it have a name? It does. You continue reading it. I will come up with a name because I forgot.
This sword is a plus one magical weapon. When the user is attuned and using it against its intended target, the sword becomes a plus three magical weapon and deals two D10 radiant damage instead of the normal slashing damage of the weapon. On a critical hit, instead of doing damage, the user can instead choose to remove the dart that's corrupting the target's soul. If this is done, then the sword will absorb the corruption into itself, turning black, and crumbling away into dust.
I think you're the one who's going to have to hold onto it. I would assume so, yeah. I'm entirely sure we tend to hold. I mean, if you want to let me hit you with it.
LAUGHTER Take a take a corruption. If you have some, you're having all these weird dreams. Is your name on the hill? We don't know.
Is it? No. No. No.
No. OK. We should still test it though. Maybe it's your secret name.
No, thank you. The name on the hill is Queen Marvin. So you die down here again? Probably.
OK. I'll remember what this means for sure. Please, sing that. I remember.
I remember. I've ever heard of this person. Can I try out history? History?
You can try history. Yes. Oh. Twenty-two.
So in some boring histories that you've read, you don't know much about her, but you know that Queen Marguette ran a section of a barn? Not like the capital city. Like an outline. Kingdom, basically.
Would she have been subordinate or a relative of Hubert or Shalondria? No, I don't think so. OK. Just throwing out the only names I know.
Yeah. You probably don't know much more than that. You probably just kind of read her in a list of kingdoms and their rulers who are part of the kingdom of a barn. We've all read through the Old Testament.
Were we supposed to read that? I was thinking it only has like 30 books. We've read them. Maybe you guys.
Cool. I'm not. I'll be going to do that because I'm pretty sure I'm already retuned to three things. Hey, it's useful if I ever decide to take up a shield.
That's not going to happen. Is there a versatile weapon? I know, but D10 versus D12? Well, if you ever meet Queen Marguette, which at this point we're down.
Marguette, do you do this all the time? No stuff? Yeah, pretty exciting. Yeah, kind of.
We're on a quest, so we kind of have to. Usually we like do farming. I would much rather be farming. I've never farmed.
What's that like? Calming. Soothing. Good hard work.
Sounds like you hate it. Yeah, I think so. I mean, you get to make stuff grow. That's kind of cool.
OK. Yeah, we can go. We've been healing. That guy hurt us.
But we're good now. Let's go. I like poke spike. Alright.
So where'd you get that guy? Hand guy. Spike? Yeah, thanks.
Oh, OK. So, hello. I guess. Onward.
Onward. Spike. Mush. Can we attach spike to a wagon or something?
You have a wagon. I have a pattern. I have a pattern. I have a pattern.
You have a wagon. I have a patch robe, but I don't think so. I don't think so. What is Spike's strength score?
He has a plus one. Mate. Very strong. I'm not bad.
I'm like a five feet hour. Yeah. Yeah. But didn't we have a bunch of dogs too on here?
Or was that something we ended up not getting? That was something you ended up not getting. Because I messed everything up. Cool.
We have a rowboat. I don't think that will work. We could probably make a wagon up all this junk. But let's not.
That's a big one. That's a big one. Thanks, Mike. Was it windows and doors?
Yeah. We make a bar do. We stop for six weeks and build a bar. So how long has it been since mid-summer's day?
Which is I can't conceptualize the calendar that we have. Because it's too... It's not jumpy. It's very stable compared to the earth calendar.
It's 28 day months. There's 13 of them. But it's hard to figure out where you are. So you started out on mid-summer's day.
And after mid-summer's day, there were two weeks. And it is the first of sunmarched today. Cool. We've only been doing this for two weeks.
It feels like so much longer. So you guys walk through the forest. And it seems strangely empty and quiet. You don't see any signs of any more blights.
Though the forest continues to be the thick rambles and dead-looking trees. And you encounter nothing else until it is dark. By which I mean it's time to camp, not that you suddenly encounter something. Okay.
We can't. Yes. Alright. First watch is day.
Yeah. Uh, 17. Okay. Nothing occurs.
Okay. It is a quiet night. You see a mouse that's going through the underbrush. But that is all the movements that you see.
I make small talk with the mouse for a little while. Okay. Now is this better? No, I'm staying myself today.
I feel like we're in less danger. Alright. So you and the mouse hang out for a little bit. And your watch passes unevenfully.
Nice. That will bring us to Ichabung. 11. You don't see the skittering of the mouse.
It's quiet. Boring. If he's not for it, I'll pass the time chatting it up with Mark on. Oh yeah.
I'll chat with you. Anything specific to my talk about? No. No.
Just getting to know him. I will ask him. I really enjoyed your company. Do you expect to be heading off pretty soon?
Or are you going to stay with us a little longer? I kind of hang out with you guys. That little dragon breath thing was really cool. So, yeah.
I think I'll hang out with you guys for a little bit. Great. So your watch passes and it becomes Waylands. Okay.
Oh. How many more are we rolling 19? Um. 21.
Nice. As the day dawns, you see a single butterfly flying from the tree to another tree in the forest. And then it flutters on its way. Be sure to mention that.
All right. Cool. As long as it doesn't look like it's bringing anything back, I'll let it be. I'll rage.
I rage. Chasing the butterfly. No. So the night passes under the belly.
No, butterfly seems like big news to me. Maybe it's because I'm a druid. Honestly, dude, I saw a butterfly last night. Sure.
Why is there a butterfly? I don't know. Maybe. Wayland relates to Taylor's single tear traces down his face.
So cute. I asked Mark on like, do you generate butterfly? No. Are they normal in this area?
Mark on cast. My revolution. Yeah. Yeah.
I've got like real ones. Isn't it like real? Yeah. It looks real.
But I mean real. I'm glad it was in your face and through your head. I understand illusions. This is very important to me Mark on.
Did you make one last night? No. All right. Are there butterflies around lately in the past, you know, let's say 20 years.
Um. No. We did it. I think.
Maybe. Can I, I don't, I wish I were one little higher. Can I do like a naturey check to see if they seem to be improving already in terms of the area? Sure.
I'm going to make a roll. 15. You're not seeing much sign of anything like that, but you wouldn't really expect to. I don't think the landscape has been twisted.
But do I get better vibes? Is that what I'm saying? I know that like the hippie drew it isn't the bad stereotype, but do I get better vibes? Yeah.
The life is healing. Cool. As much as it can and it is corrupted for us. I think you're right.
I'm going to get a good thing. Great. One less layer of corruption. If we can pick away the layers one at a time.
So we're ready to move on. Anyone else have any weird dreams tonight? Glad that you checked, but everything was fine. Okay.
Good. Let's go. All right. So you follow Spike Jones on.
Why is that? It's me. And as the day progresses, you start to come out of the section of the forest. It becomes more like what you experienced when you were walking up the witchwalk.
Healthy looking trees. Not much light coming through due to the amount of foliage above. And the ground is becoming rockier and steeper. You're entering one of the more hilly sections of the woods.
And as you're going down this path, you hear a rustling sound in the forest. And it sounds like it's moving towards you guys. I want to try and zone in on it. Yeah, I should plan.
You zone in on it. It's off to your right. And looking down there through the trees, through the gaps in the trees, you can see that there is a woman running in your direction. A real woman?
A real woman. Does she see us? Does she see anything? I probably point to her and say, is that a real woman?
Sorry, but it's not that for a second. There's a woman coming towards us. Sorry. That was a character.
I was thinking about my wife. Sorry. Also, a real woman. Help, help, you've got to help me.
My father, he's broken his leg at the mine. He fell down by the shafts and I need help right away. Are you from rock four? I go over to her and I put my hand on her shoulder and I say, of course we'll help you.
She's a real woman. You touch her? Give me a perception checker. Oh boy.
13. Okay, yeah, she's tangible. You can touch her. She feels like a real woman.
She has this sulfur smell about her. Okay. Maybe they're mining sulfur or something. Trying to decide if I should roll an insight check.
I don't think it's a day's style. So I take my hand away in surprise because I expected it. Just whoa. And I say, of course we can help you.
I didn't realize that there were people living out here. Do we know where rock four? Do we know where rock four is at all? Or no?
At least no. You guys don't know what to say. Can I try and insight to see if this is on the up and up? Okay.
No. Look over it. Are you hurt? No.
Is she fine? She seems to be asleep. Yes, yes, I'm fine. It's just my...
She knows what she said. I think he said her father was her father. And broke his leg. Yeah, he doesn't have to break his leg.
Okay. I'll actually give you advantage on the insight because it's weird. It's not me. Anybody out here.
Or... Or... Or... Or...
Or isn't it? It's a six. Okay. So she appears to be the real deal.
I'll make my own. Take us to him and we heal her. I can help him. She takes you out into the forest and she leads you.
She takes you to a cave entrance. And she's like, if you follow me in here, then that's where he is. Okay. And...
Do you know healing or anything? And then she steps into the cave. Okay. Is there any sign of inhabitants in the area?
Like, are there... Or did we go by a road or a village? Is there equipment around for mining? Everything is...
Can I roll an insight check now? Yes. A package. Twenty-three.
What does the woman does not know she seems to be? Okay. This is gorgeous. This is not nowhere.
Probably what I would do is say Ichabod, do you know anything about creatures who can change their form and learn people into dark caves? Perhaps. Arcana, nature, religion. I found that.
No. No. Senna. I...
I've not heard anything about that. Where is this coming from? That's a first. I don't know something.
I've got the lab of mining equipment and the fact there's no road and stuff. I'm already sure. That makes a lot of sense. How do you even think about it?
Do we go with a cave and deal with what was in there still? We'll see, like, if we were near town, I'd say totally. But there's nobody out here to protect. It might be the smartest it just leaves.
I don't know. We're days away even from Boneytown. It's called the Skettletown. Oh, I don't have to find it.
You all hear her say, Could you please come in here and I need you all to make with some saving girls? Twenty-four. Twenty-four. No.
Since it's twenty-four, so high can I also put a hand on my shoulder. I'm going to do it. Twenty-four. So, yeah, you get a twenty-four and you put a hand on the way on the shoulder and then pick a body shirt.
I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. What? That was magic.
Oh, shit. Wait, sorry. That's seventeen. Seventeen makes it.
With the arcane deflection. Okay. So you guys just kind of grab what you're starting to do. Okay.
Oh. I'm actually going to go from her car too. Oh no. Or I guess I should have had you do this.
I have to roll a twelve. Plus one. Get advantage because mine is facting things for these. Actually, he does have advantage against spells and other magical effects.
Oh, even better. Makes it. Okay. She's pretty suspicious, huh?
There's something going on there. You guys don't go in there? I don't know. I'll just tell her we don't believe we're in walk away and see what happens.
Okay. I've got an idea. Ooh. I'm going to whisper to a mark on and a huge boulder appears inside the cave.
Inside the cave entrance. See you link it. And then I say, let's go. Did you do the illusion of clothing?
All right. There's her. Whatever. Hopefully they believe it.
It bleeds her. Oh, he even smells like natural terrain with wisdom. He'll listen to his right? That's why I described sense and things.
He just doesn't feel like it. Think about it. Can you make a wisdom saving throw for me? Eight plus four.
Twelve. You feel this probing into your mind and you feel something like rooting around in your mind. And then you hear the voice come from the cave saying, I know what you're doing. And then even though it's an illusion because it looks cool, these tingles slide out from around the edges of the rock and these four people appear.
This one lady that you saw before, an older man, a dwarf woman, and this flashy, tiefling-looking barre person. And what's your initiative? Twenty-one. All right.
Day. Ten. And spike a potential. Okay.
Take a bite. Seven. And spike is going to chill. Okay.
Mark on this time. Mark on has a 15. These figures have appeared before you, what do you want to do? Well, maybe Vanessa Long, so I rage and go here.
I'm assuming I'm somewhere within 30 feet. And I can take a rip, let's attack at it. Do you say there was one or more? There are four figures.
Okay. I heard the tiefling. I didn't hear the other ones. It is the human woman that you saw before.
There is a tiefling-varish-looking person. There is a dwarf. And there is an old man who looks like he might be the father of the woman. Oh, that's awesome.
Okay. I'll have the tiefling first, just because. Yeah, that's a 25. Fifteen damage.
All right. That brings us to Mark on. Well, I liked it so much before. Give a little euphoria breath on it.
Just go drop a puff into the old man's face. It's a DC 11 wisdom save. Makes it? Okay.
No effect. All right. That brings us to day. I will step up next to Waylon.
All the way up Thunderwave in the cave opening, like across the people. They need or the creature, I don't know if they all have their separate things or if it's just one. It needs to make a con save. All right.
Con save. It doesn't eat. Okay. That fails.
That's 1200 damage and it gets blasted back. 10 feet? 10 feet. Yeah.
All right. So you see these figures all blasted back through the stone. This is a resound. They just pass right through it on the other side.
Oh, there's a lot of porous air in his. Why not? I think that actually, since they got pushed back, I'm going to take a few steps back. Okay.
Okay. It is. Take a vice turn. You cannot see them anymore.
Okay. I am going to prepare a second level chromatic orb. The moment I can see them, I'll attack it. Okay.
So they step forward. They do not have enough movement to reach anybody, I will say. 12. And that will bring us to Waylon again.
All right. I will take a step forward and swing out again. 15. 15 hits.
Okay. So that will bring us to Markov. Markov will turn invisible and fly away from the thing. No.
No. Markov. As an action, we'll do the aforia prep again because it will be charged. So that's a DC 11 wisdom.
Okay. They don't make that, but is it a charge effect? Does it say? It does not say.
No. It'll be fine. All right. So it can take reactions and would roll the DC to the start of its turn.
So as an action reads into the old man's face, as a bonus action turns invisible and then moves to get away from it. All right. Sounds good. It cannot take reactions, so let's wipe it.
So it is day's turn. Okay. I will. I'm just going to use the seven weeks we were against it and say like this thing slow as fuck.
We could consider just leaving. All right. So the sphere so it goes hit something in the back of the cave and then come back to my hand. All right.
Sounds good. Bring this back around. And you still can't hit it. Let's see.
I'll target it with a toll the dead. It's a wisdom save DC for team. It says six necrotic. Okay.
It is tired of holding on to that old man form. So I was just going to drop that one. Do you want me to roll the D six or do you want to roll it for its action? I'll roll it.
One. So it takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction. Okay. Moves that way.
So it moves to your left. Okay. Okay. Nice.
Could have it there. But really. Okay. So there you go.
Plus thirteen 18 plus nine is. Very soon. Yeah. I can math.
Yeah. It cries out and collapses into a puddle of goop on the guard. Hey. You know, the arc for that thing is a lot more intimidating than that fight was.
Yeah. I probably did not play it too expensive. Well, we may as well see what else was in the cave. Yeah.
I want to check out the game. Yeah. Let's go. You guys step into the cave.
You light it up. Sorry. That wasn't Gifford Pockets. I've reduced lane in my hand.
We're concentrating. Makes it a little low. And there is a much bigger pile of ooze across the floor in here. And you can see that this room is just littered with bits of gold and gems.
Mine. Is it? Is it a closed off cave? Yeah.
It doesn't look like it has any. Yeah. And is there anything alive in here? Can't tell.
Make a perception check. I'll just throw fire at the ooze instead. Okay. It is.
It's not. Okay. I mean, it jiggles a bit. And pulls like, but it does not have any.
