cluster and goes like all right let's see if I still got it in me it's been a minute he's going to move forward to the edge to there he's going to go ahead and begin to cast a spell you see like the the space in front of his hands begin to warp and pull in like there's either intense heat or intense gravity and as he pulls his hands together and claps them he shoots them outward and you watch this like bead of black kind of scatter out in the line as it does the ground beneath goes and you watch this all the nearby stone and rock just gets pulled into the center like gravity suddenly pulls it this massive gravity Fisher just tears across over there that's Dy that's Dy mancy might catch you f you make Constitution save throw me yep okay I do have advantage again smells another magical effects that's true you do six that's a fail all right so you take uh 36 points of force damage that's nasty oh my God fail oh fail he goes sorry get up dust myself off and he's just kind of bloodied and battered and I want him to just hover at eye level with him and I'm going to try I have to I'm going to cast uh lightning bolts at [ __ ] fifth level can I wa I'm going right after him yeah can we do a joint attack sure if you want to so is you kind of fly up you start casting the spell and you see image in like the glow on the energy and you both make eye contact from across the battlefield okay and I'm going to step up on the Rock in front of me okay there and I'm going to do the exact same thing as Dorian and hit him with a lightning bolt fifth level on the other side BS all right so both of you describe how these bolts interact with the creature I'm going to WR white as we C him on Yell aim for the head cuz or's in the body got it y four and a three it fails both of your s tag team but do we have to do a thing since it's a high level after this you do roll damage first roll damage first yeah level that's 10 D6 lightning damage from each of you 40 on the nose 40 lightning damage o what's that 42 oo is yours purple yeah mine's purple what color does purple and yellow make I don't know pretty so cool so your bowt is like kind of a bright yellowish white light yeah just like a literal like a literal lightning B yeah so you both wait the exact moment and the entire like like Cavern like shakes with the impact but these hitting both sides as they hit the creature and both strike through its body they both kind of mingle uh yeah and like the head and the Torso it shocks through it and both continue shooting out each side uh you both the power is immense and you both kind of almost Arc off to the side as you finish it like like a Ghostbusters beam kind of being pulled off and they both kind of like Splinter offing oh nice shooting there Tex as mine dissipates there's twinges of little bits of red light that kind of fizzle off of it cool uh it is it's looking it's looking looks a little hurt then go ahead and roll a D100 for me please for wild magic yeah it's like a D100 table and oh what what did I do on oh no what did I do you stand up those red lights around your your fingers that like glow begin to brighten and then curl up and then gather right in the middle of your chest and you're like what a fireball explodes Where You Are oh my God uh D is across just wincing waiting for it to happen to him's like make a dexterity saving throw for me okay I'm going to turn behind imag in I'm going to be like that was a good idea even though it hurt a little and I'm going to do something I haven't done new toys new toys I'm going to um do void puppet so you see uh you wouldn't I would uh ladna lets out like a a eardrum bursting Banshee scream that I am not going to do uh and you see like a spirit that's it we broken you see us just like puls from her body and goes screaming through these guys and going to go right there um as this screaming Spirit goes and then um which Spirit from lna's past does it appear as what Spirit my ped things things you know that have passed or things that you've killed that have passed who the spirit always appears as something that you've been connected to its Dem oh that's really cool that's really cool I think for this one you would see uh in its kind of ghostly ethereal form a noose around its neck that is like trailing behind it almost like a like a tail um and it looks like a like a a blonde maybe halfling a younger woman that was hung with ladna on the tree that day mhm okay all right so that's your bonus and I think I'm going to take uh I think you thought you were free with Mara on the other side of the table solid that's the big finally that was incredible this [ __ ] that's it's not that bad oh Jesus no anywhere except the bone right there on the right but we've got a minute while we've been investigating all of this while everybody's investigating this dorian's just so stoked from all the action that's just happened he's like recapping it for everybody it's like and my favorite part was when you did this and talking about how how good everyone did and while we're doing that I'll cast uh a motivational speech oh yeah and then when you did lightning and then when image into the lightning it was so cool at the same time I'd like to look into you I would appreciate that I'm I've got too many I don't knows these days trying to get rid of a few same I like him he's hot so as as you're getting close to the end of your short rest um another one of those like dog creatures with the eye tail looks it's like a scrawnier one that's kind of on its own seems to kind of follow up over in the area as well sniffing around and slowly begins to look nervously around and skitters down to where the body of the creature is kind of sniffs your massive kill goes back into the tent pulls another body out by a leg and as it begins to naw its foot as it goes watch and points above you and you see ever so faintly only because he points it out this like single strand well looks like a like a thread of silver or something just kind of descends and that's kind of it just heads straight down uh with your perception it's not a thread it's almost like an impossibly long piece of goo and reaches down and just like touches the top of the wolf creature and then pulls it up can you hear and up into the shadow you don't even see the source of you just hear oh oh that was from the ceiling that was from the ceiling pieces of it begin to like fall everyone saw a thread come down I know that it was snot and it got yanked the ceiling's more than 60 ft up from the tower yeah and you just get this you get the sense here and it kind of looks for the rest of you so there are many strange and natural things that call this place home some that were from a or others that have just found at home or Been Changed by the odd Magics here but we should be focusing on moving quietly and unen do any of the did any of the creatures seem to be attracted to like the lamp light coming from the tents uh I'm certain it are you asking me you're asking I was asking you m you still in the accent was sure they were following the sound and when they saw the light they then went to inspect what that is yeah Barbara please should get moving yeah what that what's up ttit squeaking through here real voice all along know big reveal [ __ ] of it made you've just been shape changed forward all this time smell that ass wow she got 18 18 wolf all right ass is my specialty you do definitely smell ass just so much of it this is a massive ass the god word it's boming A's a person wash your hair gush of wind but destroyed it um do you know how deep it goes I have not been to the bottom but he takes a coin from the inside of his robe and throws it it just disappears you have a very high perception go ahead and roll perception for me uh 27 27 it takes about 253 seconds before you hear the faint 25 30 breaking the surface of water very far water you know what that just reminded me of what when we lost fcgs coin in the tunnels of trar it's strange being here without them I wonder if they would have I don't know remembered anything felt something yeah you know when we finish this we have infinite free time we should go back and find that coin we should feels needlessly cruel that they're not here right now feel like most cruelty is needless this what makes it cruelty isn't it yeah yeah I'll [ __ ] put sorry letters I take up P hey what's the plan hey shut up why do you why do you have to say things when immediately summoned that being about sorry I think I'm pretty good staying quiet most of the time well you are you are I'm sorry I'm I'm under so much pressure I didn't mean to snap at you has Dorian met that day forgiven he has we have yes I think

see you can see what through Darkness I got you no worries let me know what you see cool Glides into the shadow you came in here with just one other person must have been one hell of another person dangerous you're not wrong but even we have our limitations and everything here is d dangerous in its own right to even get to this point we expended so many resources that we had to we had to decide to return it another time and when we were ready to delve further by then the Empire had already taken the entirety of this Bas it wasn't safe to get close well the assembly has a tangled history with my partner and I and um don't bite who is this guy or woman or oh doesn't matter a very powerful practition of the magical Arts he is also um and he teaches on occasion inside check make an inside check this whisper brought to you by popcorn popcorn his name is Bren and he is um very intelligent I think he might have been the one to bring you here if he wasn't otherwise occupied did you check it for traps the door yeah where have we push on well let's check it for traps first no no yeah sure I give it trap check chick CH 11 11 no traps it's not trapped go to push you pushing the stone I'm going to step know cuz you're way you said that just push it I'll push it okay push the stone the door opens slightly nothing [ __ ] just feels like flat stone like flat stone yeah what does it mean why is there Square magic it's all magic square right here it's got starting to peek the head you glance in on the opposite side of the door is a matching piece of stone that has a faintly glowing glyph on it it looks like it's that stone is Enchanted in some way mhm and some of you pick it up too there's like a that smell that you found earlier it's getting stronger and stronger the further you push into it um now it's carrying like a metallic taste on your tongue this is less of a solid room but it looks like a waypoint there are tunnels to the right and left and across the way like a larger square like somewhat rounded Square chamber and this is where multiple like four different Halls can join um the floor is completely littered with more of these ancient corpses all in similar states of ancient Decay but that isn't what catches your attention through Pate though what catches your eyes through his eyes immediately are the many chains that hang from the ceiling in here dangling from the ruined Stone above black Jagged chains many ending in Wicked looking Hooks and on top many of these hooks are hanging bodies just still in the Loft feet inches sometimes feet above the ground different heights ancient bodies had take of an investigation check or perception your choice it's 22 I roll a 19 for him 22 the withered bodies on the ground are skeletal Beyond just the elements mummified remains and paper thin flesh acrossed those that still have it mummified in these moments of chaos and horror um the Bodies In These Chains are meaty they are recent oh my God okay they are full and many of them have on them familiar attire Vanguard attire Vanguard robes armor wearing emblems and symbols some hanging on it through the back some hanging on in the front kind of carved under the sternum hanging on the inside of the rib rib cage between um go go yeah is that your reaction you laugh blind in this hallway just for a this is dope um there's over a dozen bodies that hang in this room a dozen yeah K pante look up yeah he looks up the all just emerging from the stone they're not a fixed to anything it looks like but there's nothing hanging out on the ceiling yeah make another perception check and and real quick while he's we'll go with the one you spend the sun already he looks up he doesn't see anything in the ceiling Beyond just like you know there are elements of stone that are cracked through um and there's like maybe here and there like a bit of ceiling that has fallen and you can see like a dark Gap maybe a few inches wide that maybe precedes into the seventh floor above um but most of the chains are just emerging from the stone let's get in there oh well while he's investigating the bodies does any of it look familiar from the encampment we saw earlier with the like euphoric manic smile on any of their faces like the murder suicide that we saw I'd say a little over half of them carry a strange final grin across their [Laughter] face Domino laboratory techology technology is it just technology like if you're looking through his eyes get in there just get in there what do you know about white Stu we were just there I just saw the sitting room first he gave me a tour he thought you were all lame it's like roleplay masturbation all love my character gave my character everything cool for a second I thought you did you did no I'm

walk walk brisly I want him to set off a bunch of [ __ ] corpse before you the hanging head goes and you can now see the uh somewhat uh like Tangled Short blondish hair of this older man um kind of balding in the front um the eyes Peak up towards you and through you blood shot beneath and you can see like the blood trickling from the nose and the mouth as it looks up the tongue kind of lulling and then slack jaw it glares at you as it kind of like Glides back about a foot and starts just like looking at all sides of the room kind of following in your sent and has his hands up ready to cast whatever is needed what is the creature that did this to you he just called himself dominox that was a dumb question I kind of wanted more details The Whisper The Whisper what the whisperers in our head that didn't count as another question the The Whisper The Whispers In do you have any clues how to avoid or defeat him no we were told to hold the chamber and then Rosen lifted me on this hook
