Episode 107: Devoutness and Dicks

The Mighty Nein (after spending some time on the island of Rumblecusp in anticipation for the coming preparations of Traveler Con) you discovered a people that lived here who had lost their memories over time and some seemingly ancient entity known as Vokodo (that had taken residence beneath the mountain). Upon learning about the different mysteries and dangers throughout, you discovered a cavern full of abandoned ships.
You fought dangerous creatures around and eventually went beneath the mountain itself to fight this Vokodo creature. You learned (as it was dying) of what it seemed to be fleeing from within the Astral Sea. You escaped the boiling waters with the treasure that you had accrued from its hoard and (it seemed) freed the people of Vokodo from this clouding fog that their memories from them.
As they returned, many of them realized who they once were and decided to return to their old life. Some chose to stay with the new life they had made here, nevertheless, a night of final celebration for the villagers of Vokodo (as the village that it once was) was brought forth around a large bonfire.
You all helped them into this final night. You saw some early arrivals to the TravelerCon event begin to try and find their place amongst the vicinity. After saying your bits before the next day, you went and crashed up in Vilya’s room and went to bed.
As the warm temperature of the temperate island morning begins to creep into the chamber (the seaside moisture in the air itself sticking in a sweaty way to your skin) you begin to wake up, one by one, within the comfortable interior of the tree where Vilya had taken up residence as Viridian for quite some time.
As you glance out from the elevated portion of this tree, you look into the loose thoroughfare of this village that surrounds this central space. You can see there are people walking about (some folks that are going about their common day to day business within the village of Vo, some that have gathered things and are currently packing). What looks to be a group of individuals that are in the first batch of those leaving for the day. Vilya has already left; woke up before any of you did and is not in the chamber. You can see from above that she is currently gathering with those individuals, prepping them and making sure that everyone who is leaving today has everything they need (because it is a one way trip for them).

    Four days until Traveler Con. You have amassed yourselves as the hunting crew. Kieren and Ashelyn have decided to stay back and help with other elements (so I don’t also have to control 2 NPCs in this). Pushing forward into the first few hours of your journey, you trek through familiar territory of the jungle. Making your way towards the region where the vegetation begins to wither and gray. The space where you encountered your first undead-type creature. Skirting around it to avoid a majority of the pitfalls that seemed to plague Caduceus your first time through. Pretty sure it’s not happening again.
    You feel like you may have found some tracks earlier than you anticipated. You begin to follow them a little bit to a northward direction, diverging from the path you guys first walked to the volcano. The tracks weave a bit and you eventually come upon what looks to be something in the way. A furry beast has been killed and eaten here. There are actually two sets of prints that diverge. One continues north by northeast direction, and one taking the southern path that you choose to follow. Of the two sets, you begin to notice there might have been a pair that were hunting or they came at different times and one scavenged the other’s kill. You’re uncertain. They seem to be similar, but the southern prints are heavier. They sink deeper into the mud and they seem to be slightly larger than the other set.

    • 02:05:20 Caleb and the Dicks. “You Caleb’d the dick on that one.”
    • 02:06:06 Beau:“Why did you eat the mud, though?”
      Jester:“I don’t know, I just thought I’d heard of people doing that when they’re tracking.”
      Beau:“It makes you look super cool.”
    • 02:07:17 Jester:“Hey tree!”
    • 02:09:40 Beau:“Chief Jester Esquire”
    • 02:10:02 Veth:“Jester. You are one of the two greatest detectives I’ve ever met. If you think the bigger one is feeble, I’m with you 100%.”

    • 02:13:35 Battle Maps!
    • 02:16:33 Liam:“Cuz rogues are broken.”

    • 02:35:05 Fan Art Moment Caleb’s Echo Image casts a fireball like a basketball over Jester’s damaging Blade Barrier ring to hit the albino T-Rex.
    • 02:35:43 Fan Art Moment Caleb’s transformation into a T-Rex with Bengal cat stripes (like Frumpkin!)
      Matt:(without another T-Rex mini on hand)“…you’re just going to get a shitty alligator.”
    • 02:36:05 Ashley:“Mrrow!”
    • 02:37:09 Fjord:“Nah, I’m good.” Eldritch Blast
    • 02:40:15 Beau floats the idea of T-Rex mounts again
    • 02:41:07 Yasha Airlines: We Love to Fly and it Beaus
    • 02:43:18 Matt:“I can be proud and hurt at the same time.” (after Taliesin used an ability to cancel Matt’s nat20 roll)
    • 02:44:18 Laura does some quick math, if 34 piercing damage is the halved amount from something halved again means the crit would have done ~136 (68*2) damage, which would have one-shotted Beau (and most anything, really)
    • 02:45:41 Yasha:“Clever Girl.”
    • 02:46:51 Matt:“Somewhere a Duck Barbarian would be proud.”
    • 02:48:19 Nuclear T-Rex
    • 02:54:14 Liam:“A one. A two-whoo! Three.”
    • 02:55:00 “That’s just right!”
    • 02:58:15 Caleb-T-Rex keeps taking bites out of the defeated one.
      Veth:“That’s for paying customers!”

    • 03:19:47 Nine eyes
    • 03:23:02 Taliesin:“Perfection.”

    • 03:39:27 Artagan is “the asshole Batman”
    • 03:41:07 Beau:“No one goes to 9am panels.”
    • 03:43:17 Veth invites Vilya to Traveler Con and empathizes with her trepidation about reuniting with an estranged child.

      The Mighty Nein become Level 13!

      • Caduceus rolled a 5 for his hit die, bringing him up to 115 HP. He, like all the casters, gains access to 7th level spells. Some standouts are Plane Shift, Regenerate, Conjure Celestial, and Resurrection.
      • Beauregard rolled a 7, for a new total of 109 HP. She gains the Tongue of Sun and Moon ability, allowing her to understand all languages and be understood in turn.
      • Yasha rolled a 2 for a new total of 140 HP. She gains a 2nd Brutal Critical die, which gives her a lot of extra damage (up to a max of 53 with her Magician’s Judge; or 69 (53 + 16 Acid) with her Skingorger’s active ability).
      • Veth rolled a 3 for a new total of 89 HP. She gains the class feature Versatile Trickster, which allows her to use the Mage Hand cantrip to gain advantage on someone within range as a bonus action. Hopefully it sees more use than her Magical Ambush ability.
      • Caleb rolled a 5 for a new total of 83 HP. Like Jester and Caduceus, he gains access to 7th level spells. With his discussion with Veth this episode, one of them is more than likely going to be Teleport, which will allow him to chauffeur the Nein around the world without begging Essek for help. Other options include the aforementioned Plane Shift; Simulacrum, Magnificent Mansion, Delayed Blast Fireball, and Sequester.
      • Jester rolled a 3 for a new total of 117 HP. Her 7th level spell options are the same as Caduceus’s, so I won’t recap. She also gained the unique ability to speak through her illusory duplicate from the Traveler this episode, so long as she’s close enough to hear the conversation it’s having.
      • Finally, Fjord took his 3rd level in Paladin and rolled a 9, bringing him up to 133 HP. At 3rd level, Paladins gain immunity to all diseases and, more importantly, their subclass. Given his deity is the Wildmother, him taking the Oath of the Ancients would be appropriate, which gives him the Nature’s Wrath (causes spectral vines to ensnare a traget within 10 ft of Fjord) and Turn the Faithless (causes both fey and fiends within 30 ft of Fjord to run away and reveals them if they’re invisible) via his Channel Divinity ability and the Ensnaring Strike and Speak with Animals spells for free.
