Nat 20 and Unwind (At The Burning Gate)

0:01 Welcome to Net 20 and unwind here on Spotify, iTunes, player.fmpoddirectory.com, stitcher.com, TuneIn Radio and iheartradio.com. Oh boy do I love the prisoner's dilemma. I. Hate you. Yeah, it's. Not my favorite. Yeah, it's like the the trolley question. Like the equivalent of the trolley question, you know, would you kill, would you kill Neros if it meant going up five levels? No, but you have. To make the. Decision. Literally it's to cause y'all to fight. Yeah, I told you this more.

0:41 Think. I think it's. It's more thinking work as a team and see who you trust. And again, that's why I have these journals out there as well, because. I wonder if anybody trusted me. Sorry. We'll see. I'm not going to make any enough. Unfortunately, I can't look at everybody's answers until Kenzie leaves my computer, so I can't deter. I can't even see what the votes were until. Bro I've got such a mind melting headache right now. You could look at them and I would not remember them 5 seconds later. That's a lie. Kenzie, go to the bathroom. So we're supposed. To. Put it in our journal. Correct. Yes.

1:22 OK, in the journal. Oh, I suppose I didn't get a vote from OSISA. I apologize. My brain is off. I apologize. Well, it still counts, right? Like, Oh yeah, yeah, we still don't. We still don't know the answer. So do we never like when? You're not going to make Yeah, we got to find out beforehand because. I will I. Can I'll I'll release an announcement on the vibs in discord of. Which I will. Then we can still see your screen, remember? Yeah, just FYI. Does he say, was that his Social Security number? Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh shoot, if you want that just ask me. I have everything. Yeah, he's got everything you said. DOA like dead on I.

2:09 Said POA close. Enough dead on arrival. Close enough. Knocking on the. Door, All right. So we'll go through again kind of the reflection that we did last week as well for this. So again, standard question. Did you? It was a good session. Did you resolve or move forward for the main arc on this session? Yeah, absolutely. Yes. So everybody, yeah, everybody, go ahead and get an inspiration. Oh no. How many I have to use? Is there a cap? No. No, no, I, I stacked them. So think of it all right. Well, I have 5. I'm getting you my first one, so I. Was going to say I think I have two. Now which is?

2:51 Fun. I should have been a divination wizard too, or whatever. The one that makes you tweak your rolls and a halfling with the lucky feet. OK. Man I got to copy and paste all this again. All right, so everybody pick up an inspiration there. For what? The the the inspiration. You can grab one from there. From what? From the did everybody did, did did you resolve the the conflict?

3:35 Oh, OK, yes. Yeah, all right. Give me one moment. Looking back when I casted lightning bolt. Yeah.

4:17 I was at the perfect angle too to hit the portal. I should have tried to hit the portal as well. Yeah, I was going to do meld stone or shapes shape stone. Maybe that's what it is. It's a high level, higher level spell. And it's not like I was worried that it wouldn't be enough to, like, make it crumble. Yeah, well, The thing is it's like it's 100 foot beam, so it would have went through Stakar and hit the portal. I should have specified the portal as well. Yeah. Damn it. 'Cause then the fire elementals wouldn't have possibly had a chance to come out. Yeah, but like you said, right, Like this is your second time playing, so there's a Yeah, there's a. Hindsight is 2020.

5:08 Right. Next question. Right. Hello. A stroke. Hello. I don't know. All right, next question. What did your character fear most as the flames roared? Was it the mountain collapsing, the fire is consuming, or the memory of failure? That actually one of those 3. Yes. Oh, she feared losing her weapons. Yeah, I think Kezia probably feared the same thing. But if we had to choose between those 3, Kezia doesn't want that mountain to collapse on her because she's claustrophobic. Nearest would say the fire is consuming. Because fire consuming erases memories. It leaves them without a trace.

5:58 Oh. Speaking of, do we? Do we remember? The 21st time of September. No, no, no. The thing we. Forgot we. Forgot. Ultimately, yes, you will remember the thing that you forgot with a long rest. Oh man. Which we? Haven't had that. That light spell is really going to come and clutch for me. Oh boy. Hey, I lost the maneuver the. Maneuver's good, yeah. I didn't even realize thoughtmatergy was something I had so oh girly. You could have been having fun this whole time, I know. Right, I guess. I guess Augment would have feared the memory of failure because he already doesn't have a memory of his past and he doesn't want to put a bad one there. OK, that's fair.

6:45 Oh, see some. Do I know that about augment? No, not as of yet, because there hasn't really been a chance to get to know him, but ultimately I would. Say. After after the your long rest and taking some time, you know, if you wish to role play in the chat, things like that to kind of get those questions absolutely OK open. My eyes yet? Oh yeah, you can open your. Eyes. Oh, Sisa, what was your answer? Yeah, I, I mean, I think it probably either be the, the collapse of the mountain itself, for the fire spreading, just for the loss of life, because that would be just an absolutely tragic and really horrific happening to that area. All the loss of wildlife, the the various humanoids living in the area would be horrible for it. And, you know, being she's the life cleric and she's all about Shante, I think that would, that would absolutely horrify her. Absolutely.

7:52 No that makes complete sense. OK your reward for that reflection is everybody will gain an ember scar, so you will bear a faint glowing ash mark anywhere on your skin and once a long rest you may re roll a failed wisdom saving throw. Where? Would I put that? We'll just put that in your traits. Do we? Is that an actual item? No, that's just going to be a effectively a homebrewed. Do you want to make it or you want me to make it? I can make it, yeah. So an Ember scar.

8:33 Yeah, it's called an ember scar and I'll make it a home brewed item once. Is this an item or is this like an actual scar? We'll make it. It's it's, it's a scar, but I will make it as an item so you can have it in your your DND beyond sheets. Make it off of the the tattoo items, the magic tattoos. I was going to say, can we choose where to have this on our phones or are we just stuck with it on a specific spot? No, anywhere on your skin. Cool. Anywhere. My character's just going to have the Taco Bell. Shits Nero's going to have.

9:18 A tramp a. Big old tramp stamp. All right, put. It right on. There. Next question, final question actually, hello there it is. Final question. What memory of your past would you offer to the flame if it demanded tribute to let you live? Wah wah man. Oh my God. You have this memory only, so that's the one you have to give.

9:58 Yeah, I mean that I have to give this one because I I mean. Yeah, you're, you're absolutely right. Your your your character does not have know who? Yeah, you don't don't know who you are. And Augment is Augment is the name that you've effectively given yourself. Yeah. So do we know if this? Would give up the memory of Roger dropping her in the freaking lava because fuck that Bard. Kezia has something against the Bard. Do we have paladins in our party at all? Not yet.

10:45 Oh, I thought we had a paladin. No, Bailey's a fact. I I once Bailey starts playing, she said she was going to play Paladin. That's going to suck for you too. I'm. Beefing everything up from now on, so shut up. You have to remember like you have to like. I play unconventionally, right? I use spells for things they probably aren't intended for. Right. But also keep in mind is that you were supposed to go through three other combats before you got to the final one, so yeah. That's true. Savara. Oh, I was. Gonna ask does it do I don't like the hell no it's I'm sorry it's late.

11:35 Does it have to deem the memory like worthy of something or just any memory just? Kind of memory that you feel be sufficient enough to pay tribute to be taken instead of you dying effectively. It probably would have been one of the battles she was in. OK. I guess Neros would he'd struggle with this one, right? Because memory is both his gift and his curse, so he'd have to balance the idea of paying tribute with everything that makes him a memory cleric and not being one or while also having having to balance. I guess the giving any memory is sacrilege, you know? So it would probably be a memory from his happiest times before he became what he is.

12:50 Otherwise it it contradicts his, I guess mission, his purpose, sure. Can I add a caveat to my memory? Sure. It cannot be 1 where she picked up one of her weapons. Nice. She would have done. Your butter knife is your baby. I mean, I got a list, all right. They're important. Her her weapons are like practically her religion, so. OK, Osisa. OK, so we we've established that a memory doesn't have to be important necessarily to the character or or the fire, whatever.

13:42 It would. It would the memory effectively would not necessarily be deemed worthy, but something that would weigh on you heavily I would say. OK, well I haven't given you the whole character back story yet, but I would say probably she was going to give up a memory. It would be her father leaving OK when she was a child. OK, that's like, that's gift and curse, you know?

14:26 OK, no, that that's absolutely I that's one of the more powerful ones. I I hear you completely on that. OK, your reward for opening your memories for that. For your next mission, you may declare anyone ability check to be treated as if you had rolled a natural 15 before modifiers. However, afterwards your character will feel a sense of loss, as if they truly burned something away.

15:09 For clarity's sake, did you say May? You may. Understood. OK. Can we get this in the chat as well? Just yeah. I'll throw everything into after reflect or after note reflection, things like that. Have fun. Thank you all. Right, so. Neros. Yeah. I am going to give you a small boon for your move that you did to effectively detonate the gate and and the basically win the battle. During your during your mold earth, you would have found effectively a tiny ember, almost clear stone like and I'm going to let you hang on to that and it will serve as a key or bargaining chip with the sealed flame in any future mission. All right.

16:40 Finally, I will grant everyone 500 gold apiece. 1500 gold across the board. Incorrect. But. OK. And I'm going to grant. 1500 gold. 1500 gold for the party, split five ways. 5 is I'm sorry 300 apiece. Sorry I. Was going to say that Math ain't Mathon bro. Sorry I said incorrect. I knew what I meant in my brain and. Because I said what I. And because Serif TA, and because Serif TA did not escape through the gate and was detonated an additional 500 gold across the board for the party, 100 apiece. Beautiful.

17:32 So that will do it for this week's session. Again, we want to thank everybody listening on Spotify, Facebook, wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, this was a really good one, guys. And I will reveal the results of the end of the session. The end of the podcast from Cred happens. All right, so I have all the votes calculated Augment selected 2, Alcisa selected 2 Mimi, selected 2 Savara, selected 2 Kazdea, selected 2, Neera selected one augments Alcisa, Mimi, Savara and Kazdea. You may double level up.

18:30 God. Damn, yay. Can we also get like a? Yes. So yeah, yeah, yeah. So in between each session, you will effectively take a long rest. So what will happen as of this point is it's still, you know, I would say towards, you know, because you skipped 75% of the dungeon. It's it's. Twilight say it's you have enough time to get back to Vault Shade before nightfall so. You can. That's my favorite time of day. Nightfall. Nightfall. Twilight. Dark time time. Are you twilight domain?

19:13 Partially. Spoilers. Twilight Domain's my favorite. Yep, everybody that except Neros will double level up. So on the way back to town, just just to make it clear, do I see any animals or beasts around me? No. OK, Yeah. Damn it, It's it's it's Yeah. It's still dark enough to where you really. I gotta ask because I have no memory. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it makes complete sense. Yeah. I have a torch. Yeah, but it's still the torch isn't gonna be good enough. So perfect. All right, well. Sorry, go ahead, I.
