D&D Story: Ep 20- Making (Bad) Deals

this video sponsored by heliana's guide to monster hunting kickstarter okay, okay, so last time wasn't a complete dumpster fire, huh, in fact, you could almost call it healthy, except you know, murder and damn it, sand speaks of genocide and realizes the curse of sepsis. It's a bit complicated the curse is tied to your soul how good you are a soul god take it off but for a session with the fool's gold team it wasn't terrible it could always be worse so now we have two pedestals lit as the countdown continues well, okay, another one

good progress, huh, oh yeah, aren't you excited to be one step closer to seeing your people?

I guess I'm a little overwhelmed to find out that she was an ancient princess destined to rule an entire world. race of people that essentially led one of my dear friends to want to eliminate them all is a lot, that's a lot. I really don't know where I stand on this or what my responsibilities are. I don't know if seeing my people is even a good thing, well hey it's been so long that anyone you ever knew or loved is definitely dead, thanks jack that sounded better in my head what I'm trying to say is that you have a clean slate, they could already be different. maybe, but Jack, knowing all this, you still want to do this, well yes, this is the discovery of your life, have you never wanted to do something bigger than yourself?

No matter what you have to do, as if there is a fire burning inside you feeding it. The thing about Fire Jack is that it burns everything and in the end all you have is ashes, you can't let the flames consume you. I've seen him before in Kylandria the next few weeks. Sips tries to work. She was born with zanu. It strengthens their bond by

sure the curse doesn't get in, but with that comes side effects, so remember in episode 18 I talked about the claimants with all the big old crystal in their guts, well, it turns out they have a piece of god in your head. like a battery, it also makes you gain those skills, so sips don't have to eat, drink or even sleep, you can choose to eat or drink, but you can't sleep at all, which means more time bonding, so , What are you thinking about? a little fun fact sips i want to show you more of what we're capable of i have to get up yeah or we could keep talking i'm outside sips and then i sync with zanu feeling the magic of a god running through his veins like lightning that's great ok now , what he observes, sips and then notices the area around him changing, he can see and feel life or souls, townspeople, animals and even the smallest insects, he can feel everything, including himself, okay , weird, why do I need this?

I'll show you can I take control for a moment? Hmm, just a moment. Well, Zanu controls Sips' arm and a burst of energy takes over while also synchronizing with something else. A raccoon, one of the same damn raccoons that attacked him in episode 17. Puppeteer: Zano essentially grabs his soul and takes control of it. With this ability you can control anything and anyone you want with just your soul. I don't know if I really like it, it's your choice if you want to use it. okay, we did it, yes, zanu, then takes the raccoon's soul and pushes it out of her body, killing him, leaving him catatonic.

What hey, why did you do that? It served his purpose, so you decide to kill him or whatever. You got angry, didn't he attack you before? Yeah, it wasn't a threat, it was just annoying, I was following his basic instinct, that doesn't mean he deserves to die and that's where you and I disagree, hey, you have empathy, don't you? Then use it who are you talking to second rule we are not in the house vicky that's me then they are interrupted when they notice some men coming down the mountain pulling a cart full of dead werewolves if that's true werewolf hunting town I hate them , I wish everyone would just leave, Grandma says werewolves hurt and kill people, everyone in town thinks they're bad and will always be bad, just cursed monsters, just because someone's curse doesn't mean they're bad, I'm not a great example, but other damn people sometimes find themselves in a bad situation, it doesn't mean they are destined to be a monster, but it also doesn't justify their actions, it just means they need to work a little harder, control it, know when to give a step back to avoid it.

Hurt the people you care about Have you ever hurt the people you care about? Yes, I do. What did you do? I ran like a coward because I didn't know what else to do, so you were afraid. I was lost and angry. IM not going to do it. I rely on others to clean up my messes. I'm going to do this alone. I refuse to get lost. Have you ever been close to getting lost a few times? But as long as I have this, I'll be fine. my left hand as long as it's not cursed I know I can come back I can still be me but what if it gets cursed then I guess it wouldn't be me?

I keep thinking that it could be you and I would help you bring back even if you ran away from me, return to Sand after committing a murder. She leaves with a letter telling her where her mother is collecting information from the small outposts and discovers that her mother is heading towards the dangerous part of the mountain. Where rumors warn of a horrible monster roaming I see the signs of the plot This is not my first quest honey, deep in the mountains, she travels until she finally sees a creepy cave, okay, if it's a white pack, the I'll hit with steel old crawling ball mound steel ball sheep I'll punch him in the face then steel ball now let's hope it's not a then she sees it a large creature 20 feet tall tail with wings and a glow of metal when sand realizes that he has entered a dragon's lair, he notices her presence and turns to get a good look at her while sand takes a good look at him. a silver dragon, oh thank goodness, known to be lawfully good, so it is not hostile, however, then notices something strange: the silver melts as if its body was not solid, the closer it moves towards it a unnatural way because there really is nothing natural about this creature as it makes its way towards the light and in front of it is not a silver dragon but something much worse because Arena realizes that she is in front of a quicksilver dragon and this is not a Ordinary Mercury Dragon, this is Felix's personal homemade drink called Soul Prowler.

This creature is an amalgam of not just sticky, sticky mercury, but thousands of souls, all trying to fight for control. It's a little crazy Hi, why don't you tell me why you're here before I rip your arms off? Hi, I'm Marina and you are Louis Davis. Okay, we'll work on that later. I suggest you tell me. why are you here or i'll make you a cake you're like the living embodiment of emotional whiplash answer okay im looking for my mom mona zuccherini thought maybe she'd be in the big creepy plot cave but clearly she's no i'm just going to oh , she is here, would you like to talk to her?

Marina sees this creature's head move violently to the side as it allows something or someone to take control and Arena hears a familiar voice Arena Mom, what are you a dragon? What's going on here? Well, I'll try to explain it. Oh please do it. So a soul marauder is essentially a really crazy clingy genie. People come to make a deal with him in which he will grant you everything you want in exchange for your soul. and the body to be added to the silver dough sand, in her panic over the grief of losing her husband to queen beclair's execution party, she fled and found this creature to make a deal and you know what He wished for the end of Looper's reign in the world of unlimited power. peace ah, too easy, she wanted the dragon to protect sand life, yes, that's really stupid, mom, really stupid, what were you thinking?

I panicked so you sold your soul to a crazy clingy dragon, I don't know, it just seemed like the best solution in The time I wanted to make sure you were okay so you sold your soul to a crazy dragon, in retrospect probably not It was the best decision, oh my god, well I can't take it back now, it's not that bad you know? I was always a sociable person. My writing circles are not the same. This conversation lasts too long. Did they really scam my mother from what I've seen? I almost died like three times, how come you've never done it?

You kept me safe so, uh, you're alive now, aren't you, go to hell, Englishman, so is there any chance you like it, disabsorb my mom or not, but you could make a deal for your mom and be absorbed? Yes, no, I don't. I don't see any other options because you seem a little out of your depth. So what will you do? Make a deal, save your mother, fight me or run away like a coward. The choice is yours. You can see it? Hmm, what's the pedestal? I think I could see it oh yes, we are getting closer after a few days of travel gothie and jack arrive at the third pedestal jack enthusiastically places the crystal and creates a column of light that cuts towards the sky marking three to two to go well.

It wasn't that bad, suddenly Jack is interrupted when a gust of air passes by him followed by a disconcerting sound as he turns to see Gothi stabbed right in her gut by a very long stinger, right next to him, a large mound of grass begins to move and unfold. In itself it reveals a creature. Jack recognizes a large 15-foot-long wyvern, but this is Felix's homemade wyvern, a mossy wyvern made of moss and various vegetation, and many of you goths recoil, losing some blood, but manage to get out of its reach. initiative unfortunately jack is not a great fighter he walks away leaving the battle to an already injured gothy and a blow to the jaw misses the dice are rolled and damage is done the fight feels uncertain since gothi has never fought anything like this before, but round after round blow after blow gothy manages to wear him down however it is also wearing her down as the wyvron poison runs through her veins and claws she hits with a natural 20 causing double damage gothy stumbles a bit then her vision goes dark as His life points reach zero and he faints.

Gothi is the only PC there, so when her vision goes black, the scene does too until she manages to save her fortress and wakes up. He doesn't know how much time has passed or what happened when he was out of sight of everything he can see. is the scene in front of his jaw barking and growling with murderous intentions and a very scared jack who has managed to climb a tree to avoid being destroyed looks terrified and confused because a few meters away on the ground there is a dead Wyvern, but in He is not actually dead because Gothy realizes that he is still breathing.

It's just catatonic, almost as if his soul was expelled from his own body by something or someone, someone who would possess soul magic, someone who might be hiding secrets. Gothie calls off the issues now that she Depends because I'm starting to feel like someone hasn't been one hundred percent honest with me, haven't they?
