 Trying to do the rest of it. All right. Another go at that one that failed.
+I'll tell you what. We've pushed it past the...
+> Fria - HT :  **18:01 - 18:16**
+Breaking point. My load speed is so much better than it used to be. I have just loaded 332 things in about 10 seconds.
+Now...
+> Wolf - PB :  **18:16 - 18:19**
+Welcome to the modern age. Yes.
+> Fria - HT :  **18:21 - 18:26**
+Okay. I'm sitting on the end of a chunky... What do you call it?
+> Wolf - PB :  **18:30 - 18:31**
+You're sitting on a chunky what?
+> Fria - HT :  **18:33 - 18:50**
+I'm sitting at the end of a chunky old... 300 to 500 megabits per second Wi-Fi link. But, yeah, now it's running at full speed.
+Now, the Wi-Fi is the difficult part.
+> Dave - DM :  **18:51 - 19:04**
+The guys are watching at 1080p, actually from your server, and it doesn't cause any hesitancy at all. It's un-chunked.
+> Fria - HT :  **19:05 - 19:08**
+My backhaul is fast.
+> Dave - DM :  **19:08 - 19:10**
+That makes absolutely no sense.
+> Fria - HT :  **19:11 - 19:13**
+What, my backhaul being fast?
+> Dave - DM :  **19:13 - 19:20**
+No, no. The tile that I just loaded last was the one that made it go wrong.
+> Jestix - TE :  **19:21 - 19:24**
+So they're watching Deadpool and Wolverine.
+> Dave - DM :  **19:25 - 19:27**
+They are watching Deadpool and Wolverine.
+> Fria - HT :  **19:27 - 19:45**
+Thank you. I've actually tried to watch that twice, but I've actually had to bail out twice. So I've never watched that whole movie.
+It does have a certain Marvel-hating self-mood.
+> Wolf - PB :  **19:46 - 19:47**
+It is somewhat irreverent, yes.
+> Dave - DM :  **19:48 - 20:05**
+It's fun. As those sorts of movies go, it's fun. There's an ice machine over there, and I have a slightly warmer car as well.
+> Fria - HT :  **20:06 - 20:10**
+I'm debating whether it's actually going to be better to get out.
+> Wolf - PB :  **20:11 - 20:12**
+You're very quiet standing, Howard.
+> Fria - HT :  **20:13 - 20:27**
+Yes, you're quiet. I'm probably not talking very loudly, and your microphone is way over there somewhere. So, yes. I could have my headphones on, but I'd have to go in and find them.
+> Wolf - PB :  **20:29 - 20:32**
+And you're waving your arms in a drunken manner.
+> Dave - DM :  **20:32 - 20:38**
+Yes, that's about right. I'd say about this drunk.
+> Wolf - PB :  **20:40 - 20:41**
+What is this?
+> Dave - DM :  **20:42 - 20:44**
+This is a Macallan 12.
+> Wolf - PB :  **20:44 - 20:46**
+Well, okay, I guess.
+> Robin - PN :  **20:46 - 20:53**
+I thought it might be a bottle of wine, in which case I was thinking you were a bit of a lightweight, but half a bottle of whisky, yes, sure, fair enough.
+> Dave - DM :  **20:55 - 21:06**
+Yes, it's a very, very nice bottle of whisky. It's actually not my favourite. It possibly should.
+> Fria - HT :  **21:06 - 21:10**
+It's my favourite for tonight. It'll do. A 12-year-old Macallan will do.
+> Dave - DM :  **21:12 - 21:25**
+It's the residue of my birthday. And lots of people, knowing my conscience, thought it was good whisky.
+> Fria - HT :  **21:28 - 21:44**
+There's a couple of favoured whiskies up there which have been taking the punishment, and I've decided that you guys don't deserve me getting drunk on the finest, finest stuff.
+> Dave - DM :  **21:44 - 21:50**
+I can get drunk on just simply above average.
+> Fria - HT :  **21:51 - 22:14**
+I can roleplay badly even on above average. I don't need rocket fuel. Indeed.
+So that's my joy. I'm looking forward to just thinking, why don't we just crack that crystal chamber and find a dragon?
+> Dave - DM :  **22:18 - 22:23**
+It might be an option. It is an option. It's a red dragon, James.
+> Wolf - PB :  **22:25 - 22:28**
+Yeah, but it's currently stuck inside a crystal prison.
+> Jestix - TE :  **22:30 - 22:38**
+Yes, unfortunately the sickle will probably be on the dragon or in the crystal prison. Now, I'm very, very happy.
+> Dave - DM :  **22:39 - 22:48**
+I've got enough second-level spells left. Does anyone want a protection from elements fire?
+> Wolf - PB :  **22:49 - 22:53**
+I thought you did us all with that not long ago.
+> Jestix - TE :  **22:53 - 23:02**
+No, he did lightning. That was cool, lightning. Or fire.
+It was whatever was appropriate. It might be cold.
+> Dave - DM :  **23:02 - 23:04**
+Did you only have one of those at a time?
+> Jestix - TE :  **23:05 - 23:10**
+I think they're for a specific thing. How cold?
+> Fria - HT :  **23:11 - 23:18**
+One, four, five. You've all probably still got 170 minutes of cold.
+> Dave - DM :  **23:18 - 23:31**
+Yeah, yeah. We've burnt 10 minutes. You've got 160 minutes of cold.
+Does anyone want 170 minutes of fire? Isn't there a pass? I'll take it if you're going for it.
+> Fria - HT :  **23:31 - 23:36**
+Yeah. Done? Done?
+I hear that's two. Anyone else?
+> Wolf - PB :  **23:37 - 23:38**
+Fourth will go for it.
+> Fria - HT :  **23:38 - 23:58**
+Me for three and Wolf for four. Okay, that's done. You have all got 30 points per hit of fire resistance.
+I am now going to cast Fireball's Willy Nilly. Well, I wouldn't recommend it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **23:59 - 24:01**
+It's a red dragon. It's fully immune.
+> Dave - DM :  **24:02 - 24:09**
+Yeah, but there might be an odd ice storm. It's zooming through.
+> Fria - HT :  **24:13 - 24:15**
+You'll have to do the pummeling damage.
+> Wolf - PB :  **24:16 - 24:17**
+The one thing we're not immune to.
+> Jestix - TE :  **24:21 - 24:26**
+Well, first thing we have to decide, are we going into the room? Let's go and investigate.
+> Wolf - PB :  **24:27 - 24:27**
+We are.
+> Dave - DM :  **24:27 - 24:28**
+In the middle.
+> Robin - PN :  **24:28 - 24:32**
+Would you mind if I took some of the tray space?
+> Wolf - PB :  **24:33 - 24:34**
+Oh, you want some back do you?
+> Dave - DM :  **24:36 - 24:41**
+I'm going to have to move some stuff off to make some space for...
+> Fria - HT :  **24:43 - 24:57**
+Well, like I said, I think frayers are actually part of my huge collection of dice. There you go, Tim. A bit more tray space for you.
+> Dave - DM :  **24:57 - 25:04**
+You've been carefully spreading, haven't you? You're like the metaphorical German, aren't you?
+> Jestix - TE :  **25:06 - 25:09**
+He's been putting his towel salt down on all the tray space.
+> Dave - DM :  **25:12 - 25:22**
+There you go, Tim. You can have half. You know, I've chucked him off half of my side as well in the past.
+> Robin - PN :  **25:25 - 25:27**
+I only go up as far as my deck of illusions.
+> Dave - DM :  **25:28 - 25:40**
+Yeah, but you've had things on my side. I've had to boot you off. I hate to ask, Dave, but can I have some spell tokens, please?
+No problems. What would you like?
+> Jestix - TE :  **25:41 - 25:49**
+Someone keeps moving my dice. It's me. Stop doing it.
+I have the position. So they appear in my tray.
+> Dave - DM :  **25:50 - 26:08**
+Okay, six first. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Six first.
+I would apologize, Tim, but you've created a lot of space. Five, six. Hold on, six plus one stack there.
+> Jestix - TE :  **26:08 - 26:10**
+Should need more space.
+> Dave - DM :  **26:10 - 26:11**
+Okay, next.
+> Jestix - TE :  **26:11 - 26:13**
+Where are they? Because if I get...
+> Dave - DM :  **26:13 - 26:13**
+Oh, sorry.
+> Jestix - TE :  **26:13 - 26:17**
+I want the whole position to show in my picturing picture.
+> Dave - DM :  **26:17 - 26:23**
+You're going to move the board at once. Okay, six second, please.
+> Wolf - PB :  **26:25 - 26:27**
+That's a lot of spells for a thief.
+> Dave - DM :  **26:27 - 26:39**
+Three. Oh, absolutely. Four.
+Five. I'm not sure he actually said he was a thief, Davey. Tomb Raider.
+A thief, innit?
+> Fria - HT :  **26:40 - 26:42**
+No, he's Robin the Hood.
+> Dave - DM :  **26:45 - 26:46**
+Five third.
+> Fria - HT :  **26:55 - 27:08**
+Whilst you're doing the admin, Pete, I look over at you and you said, you expressed a few moments of concern there when we were being attacked by large undead frost giants.
+> Dave - DM :  **27:08 - 27:10**
+Are you okay to go again?
+> Fria - HT :  **27:11 - 27:17**
+Oh, absolutely. It's just, you know, undead things.
+> Dave - DM :  **27:18 - 27:30**
+It's not something that happens every day, but... And I look kind of... I look at my paltry little dagger and look at frost giant skeletons lying around.
+> Fria - HT :  **27:32 - 27:38**
+Is there anything we can do to improve your...
+> Dave - DM :  **27:39 - 27:55**
+Sorry, four fourths, please. And that's it. Oh, well, if you've got a keen dagger of speed and undead slaying, that would certainly help, but...
+> Fria - HT :  **27:57 - 28:06**
+Sorry. We're looking for good quality daggers for you. In which case...
+> Dave - DM :  **28:07 - 28:08**
+I'm a knife man.
+> Fria - HT :  **28:09 - 28:27**
+Or a hobbit, rather. I have a lot of respect for that. I spent an awful lot of time doing exactly the same thing.
+I am now a... I kind of have moved more towards the magic end of that.
+> Dave - DM :  **28:28 - 28:32**
+So I'm assuming you're all actually...
+> Fria - HT :  **28:32 - 28:33**
+...shielded on anyone else.
+> Dave - DM :  **28:33 - 28:35**
+...shifted into here, yeah?
+> Jestix - TE :  **28:35 - 28:35**
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **28:36 - 28:39**
+So we've got Henry squeezed in.
+> Jestix - TE :  **28:40 - 28:42**
+Pushing everybody out the other side.
+> Dave - DM :  **28:42 - 29:15**
+Probably you're all actually underneath parts of Henry. Looking out into this 80 foot diameter spherical void with a 20 foot across dodecahedron crystal in the middle with a dragon that seems to mostly fill it or it could just be the perspective and it's looking directly at you. Is that real?
+> Fria - HT :  **29:16 - 29:24**
+Yeah, that's real. I tap you gently on the shoulder and say don't worry, we'll do our best to protect you.
+> Dave - DM :  **29:24 - 29:38**
+And you get mage armour. Plus four armour bonus. Unless you wish to negate it.
+What type? Is it an armour bonus? Yeah.
+> Fria - HT :  **29:39 - 29:43**
+Plus four armour bonus. That'll work.
+> Dave - DM :  **29:44 - 29:50**
+Alright, I go back invisible. Thanks very much, Lee. Let's have a look at this thingy then.
+> Fria - HT :  **29:51 - 29:52**
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **29:53 - 30:08**
+Alright, I will... There's a platform just in front of you. It should have a different colour.
+And then there's a seer drop. Yeah. Effectively you have to slide down.
+> Fria - HT :  **30:09 - 30:13**
+Let's do a quick check and then everyone can still...
+> Dave - DM :  **30:15 - 30:21**
+What's the quick check mean? Do you want to go up or down? We're looking for traps.
+> Robin - PN :  **30:22 - 30:23**
+Wolf has already stepped onto the platform.
+> Dave - DM :  **30:24 - 30:40**
+Oh, fuck. Alright. We see what happens to the trap detector.
+Well, there isn't immediately a trap goes off. Okay, I am searching for traps. Okay.
+> Robin - PN :  **30:43 - 30:44**
+Er...
+> Fria - HT :  **30:48 - 30:51**
+I'm watching in awe at how carefully...
+> Dave - DM :  **30:52 - 30:56**
+Wolf casts a spell. Yee!
+> Jestix - TE :  **30:58 - 30:58**
+Shatter!
+> Dave - DM :  **31:00 - 31:24**
+That'll be a 39. There are no traps within... Is there a range for your detect traps ability?
+I have no idea. I think it's normally just in the vicinity of you. There were no traps.
+So I assume Roban is now in here, yeah? Yep. Freya?
+> Fria - HT :  **31:27 - 31:29**
+I'm watching Roban picking...
+> Dave - DM :  **31:29 - 31:32**
+So you're not actually on the platform yet. You're still in the...
+> Fria - HT :  **31:32 - 31:33**
+No, I'm watching Roban.
+> Dave - DM :  **31:34 - 31:47**
+I'm invisible. So you can't see... You're not watching him.
+So unless Roban is saying something like it's not trapped... Well, I am telepathically linked, aren't I? Did you cast telepathy?
+> Fria - HT :  **31:47 - 31:53**
+We are all still telepathically linked. If he's invisible, I'm invisible too.
+> Wolf - PB :  **31:54 - 32:27**
+Wolf casts another spell. And the spell does what? Okay, the first one...
+He summons forth a steed. A phantom steed. He looks around, you know...
+Slightly smug look on his face. Yeah, new spell. Thank you very much.
+Any trouble? No, no problem. And then he casts...
+> Dave - DM :  **32:27 - 32:42**
+So this will be the... You need to make two willpower rolls. Okay, and...
+Probably everybody else in the room does too. Remember, you need ten for the first, eleven for the second. It goes up by one each round.
+> Robin - PN :  **32:43 - 32:43**
+Okay?
+> Dave - DM :  **32:45 - 32:52**
+I should have been doing it every time you were in the room previous as well. Wolf makes them.
+> Jestix - TE :  **32:53 - 32:54**
+I make them and he makes them.
+> Dave - DM :  **32:55 - 33:00**
+Yeah, let's get a move on. Henry and Jestix are not actually in the room yet.
+> Jestix - TE :  **33:00 - 33:02**
+Oh, right, okay, so I don't make them.
+> Dave - DM :  **33:02 - 33:04**
+As far as I know, unless you've crossed into the room.
+> Jestix - TE :  **33:04 - 33:08**
+No, I haven't. I'm waiting to see what this lot do.
+> Dave - DM :  **33:10 - 33:11**
+What did we need as a target number?
+> Robin - PN :  **33:12 - 33:13**
+Ten and eleven.
+> Dave - DM :  **33:13 - 33:20**
+Oh, yeah, I didn't see you made it. Right, so we're on to the third round.
+> Wolf - PB :  **33:20 - 33:29**
+Yeah, four looks at Robin in the hood. Can't see him. Can't see him.
+Yes, I can. Unless you can't be seen with seeing visibility.
+> Dave - DM :  **33:33 - 33:38**
+No, I can be seen with seeing visibility whilst I'm not hiding. Yes.
+> Robin - PN :  **33:39 - 33:41**
+I would assume that you're not currently hiding right next to me.
+> Dave - DM :  **33:41 - 33:42**
+I'm not currently hiding at the moment.
+> Fria - HT :  **33:43 - 33:49**
+I regret to say my role is a what?
+> Dave - DM :  **33:50 - 34:03**
+Oh, dear. So, Freya, you are madly hungry. Any food that your character is currently carrying, which I would assume you're at least carrying a day's rations, you scoff.
+> Fria - HT :  **34:03 - 34:05**
+I've got so much fucking to eat.
+> Dave - DM :  **34:05 - 34:08**
+All you want to do is to eat food. Okay.
+> Fria - HT :  **34:09 - 34:23**
+Perfect. I sit down. I was watching Robin doing his search and I got hungry, and now I have got a complete wheel of cheese, about the same as my own body weight, and I'm eating it.
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **34:24 - 34:30**
+I paid a colossal amount of money for that wheel of cheese, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
+> Wolf - PB :  **34:32 - 34:42**
+Wolf launches into the void on his phantom steed, which trots through the air magnificently, and he heads towards the dragon in the centre. Okay.
+> Dave - DM :  **34:43 - 34:45**
+It follows you.
+> Wolf - PB :  **34:47 - 34:48**
+What do you mean it follows me?
+> Dave - DM :  **34:49 - 35:03**
+It seems to in the sphere. Turn to face you. Face you.
+Of course, to everybody in the room, it stays looking at them. It's like one of those weird pictures where the eyes follow you around the room.
+> Jestix - TE :  **35:05 - 35:10**
+This was the dragon in the thing that follows you around the room.
+> Robin - PN :  **35:11 - 35:11**
+Yeah.
+> Wolf - PB :  **35:12 - 35:19**
+Let me see a sigil, and also Izzy does take flight and see if she spots something like a sigil.
+> Dave - DM :  **35:20 - 35:33**
+Okay. She flaps ungainly, and the dragon follows her around the room. You can roll spot rolls if you wish.
+> Jestix - TE :  **35:35 - 35:38**
+It'll be on top or bottom, where you can't see.
+> Dave - DM :  **35:38 - 36:11**
+Then Robin can tell me what she was about to do. Yeah, I'm going to spider climb up the wall and over the ceiling as such. Yeah, no problem.
+I would say that'll take you around to do that. It's no problem. Probably quicker than you can really do it, but it doesn't matter.
+So, yes, and the dragon is looking up directly at you simultaneously. Ah, do I notice that? It's not moving, it follows you.
+> Jestix - TE :  **36:12 - 36:13**
+You just notice it looking at you.
+> Dave - DM :  **36:14 - 36:17**
+It's looking at you, and everybody else sees it just looking at them.
+> Jestix - TE :  **36:17 - 36:19**
+Yeah, that's all you actually see.
+> Dave - DM :  **36:20 - 36:38**
+Yeah. And if anything, those of you closer can probably see its lips moistening with a large tongue, its eyes blinking in the anticipation of eating you.
+> Fria - HT :  **36:39 - 36:42**
+Well, it's watching you very closely.
+> Dave - DM :  **36:43 - 36:45**
+What did you get spots, by the way, Pete?
+> Wolf - PB :  **36:45 - 36:53**
+I got 1 and 32.
+> Dave - DM :  **36:57 - 37:13**
+Well, Wolf didn't see anything at all. 39 for Robin. Yeah, you two both believe this is a real red dragon, or the most astonishing illusion you've ever seen.
+> Robin - PN :  **37:16 - 37:18**
+Right, but it's still in the crystal thingy.
+> Dave - DM :  **37:18 - 37:18**
+Yeah.
+> Robin - PN :  **37:20 - 37:27**
+Is it impressive enough to be meta actors? Isn't it, I think.
+> Dave - DM :  **37:28 - 37:47**
+It doesn't look, it only looks like it's a mature adult, which is something that Isindel would be able to go, it's a mature adult red dragon, so it's only a couple of years old. I suppose we're going to kill that, are we? I've got a…
+> Wolf - PB :  **37:47 - 37:49**
+Wheel of cheese, that's what you've got.
+> Dave - DM :  **37:49 - 37:54**
+Yeah, eat the cheese, munch, munch, munch, munch. You don't care about anything else, unfortunately, for it.
+> Fria - HT :  **37:55 - 37:56**
+Okay.
+> Dave - DM :  **37:57 - 38:33**
+In fact, probably the psychic channel is now full with, my goodness, this cheese is good. I could just eat one thing in one sitting. This is actually the best cheese that I think I've ever had.
+I think I've got some pork somewhere. No brandy. No brandy?
+Well, you dig that out now. And some rations. Oh, yeah, yeah.
+You are now going to be spending your entire round eating, and when you run out of your own food, you're going to be looking for food from other people.
+> Wolf - PB :  **38:34 - 38:35**
+That's going to take some time, I would imagine.
+> Robin - PN :  **38:37 - 38:38**
+You just have a bag of honey.
+> Dave - DM :  **38:38 - 39:01**
+I actually think this cheese is almost as big as I am. Running out is going to be almost physically impossible. No, it's not.
+It does say it takes you one round to eat a day's rations. Wow. That's not easy.
+You're outdating yourself.
+> Wolf - PB :  **39:03 - 39:10**
+Does everybody else have a round or a spherical room-ish? Because I've got a big white blob here.
+> Jestix - TE :  **39:12 - 39:18**
+Yes, we've got a spherical room with a dragon in the middle.
+> Dave - DM :  **39:18 - 39:54**
+Yeah, you'd probably want to reload. How do you reload this? Disconnect and reconnect.
+Might be the simplest way. Okay, looking specifically at the dragon sigils, since this dragon is too small to be a proper size adult red dragon, isn't it?
+> Fria - HT :  **39:55 - 39:55**
+I'm not sure.
+> Dave - DM :  **39:58 - 40:16**
+Well, isn't it, Albus? It looks like you're looking down a lens. It looks like the real dragon, wherever it is, if it's in there, is proper sized.
+Okay. But it couldn't be because it'd have to be bigger than that.
+> Wolf - PB :  **40:21 - 40:27**
+No, she's looking for signs of this sigil. We'll spend a couple of rounds doing that.
+> Dave - DM :  **40:28 - 40:39**
+And therefore we're probably on to round five, so we need DC 15 rolls for everyone in the room. And 14s as well.
+> Robin - PN :  **40:40 - 40:41**
+Yeah, they do.
+> Jestix - TE :  **40:45 - 40:49**
+Give me a kick, will you? It won't make any difference.
+> Dave - DM :  **40:50 - 40:50**
+It's a success.
+> Jestix - TE :  **40:52 - 40:55**
+You've succumbed. Until we drag you out of here, that's it.
+> Dave - DM :  **40:56 - 41:07**
+You're eating. In fact, when you've run out of your own food, you're going to start raiding Jestix's food. There's no chance of me running out of my own food.
+> Wolf - PB :  **41:07 - 41:13**
+I think we've got him there for a little while yet.
+> Dave - DM :  **41:13 - 41:21**
+I think I have about a month's food for the entire party, and all sorts of wonderful sweetmeats and things to do.
+> Fria - HT :  **41:25 - 41:27**
+I physically can't eat it all.
+> Jestix - TE :  **41:30 - 41:34**
+Due to the magic, you physically can eat it all, and you will.
+> Dave - DM :  **41:35 - 41:45**
+Even if it's the magic. You might want to restrain her from scoffing. She might kill herself by eating too much.
+> Jestix - TE :  **41:45 - 41:50**
+I'm not going to restrain her at the moment until I know what's going on in the room.
+> Wolf - PB :  **41:52 - 41:53**
+She's right next to you.
+> Jestix - TE :  **41:53 - 41:57**
+I know, but if I have to restrain her, and then I have to come and save you...
+> Wolf - PB :  **41:57 - 41:59**
+Yeah, we'll just stop her from guzzling all the food.
+> Jestix - TE :  **41:59 - 42:09**
+I can't stop her from guzzling all the food. We know how this spell works. She's got a bloody sack full of food.
+What are you worried about?
+> Robin - PN :  **42:10 - 42:12**
+Her over-stuffing herself.
+> Dave - DM :  **42:14 - 42:22**
+It looks to lose her figure. She might rupture her gut if she doesn't stop when she's satiated.
+> Wolf - PB :  **42:23 - 42:32**
+Assume that she's eating at a frantic, but a believable pace, rather than a cartoony pace.
+> Dave - DM :  **42:33 - 43:19**
+Are you doing anything in the sixth round? Have you found anything, Dave? No.
+I'm doing a from-the-wall search traps in this area. Rather than a DC16 willpower roll, a DC20 fortitude roll. Yeah, I can't fail that, and I succeed even on a one.
+Well, that's handy. Anyone make or fail?
+> Robin - PN :  **43:22 - 43:26**
+For round six I made. For the fortitude.
+> Dave - DM :  **43:29 - 43:30**
+Isindel, make tick.
+> Robin - PN :  **43:31 - 43:33**
+We have to make fortitude now as well, the rest of us.
+> Dave - DM :  **43:34 - 43:41**
+No, you don't have to make, it's just fortitude. Anyone in the room needs to make a DC20 fortitude, rather than a willpower roll.
+> Robin - PN :  **43:51 - 43:59**
+I would like to do something now, this round.
+> Jestix - TE :  **44:01 - 44:02**
+Make your saving throw when you can.
+> Dave - DM :  **44:07 - 44:11**
+Just. Isindel and Fulff both make it?
+> Wolf - PB :  **44:12 - 44:15**
+Yeah. Fulff only just makes it, but yeah, makes it.
+> Dave - DM :  **44:15 - 44:16**
+Freya, you still have to make it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **44:21 - 44:26**
+I have to make it. You have to make a DC20 fortitude. Yeah.
+> Fria - HT :  **44:28 - 44:30**
+That's always, always entertaining.
+> Dave - DM :  **44:31 - 44:38**
+Fortitude being my best, best, best. Does the, what's its feast?
+> Jestix - TE :  **44:43 - 44:47**
+I think the feast does, I think it does.
+> Dave - DM :  **44:48 - 44:52**
+Gives you some proof of your fortitude, doesn't it, somehow.
+> Jestix - TE :  **44:53 - 44:55**
+Yeah, and it also gives you a plus one.
+> Dave - DM :  **44:57 - 45:03**
+Okay, if it's plus one, that is 12, 36. Okay, no problem.
+> Fria - HT :  **45:03 - 45:05**
+I actually rolled well and it's done it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **45:06 - 45:07**
+It's plus one.
+> Fria - HT :  **45:09 - 45:13**
+. Okay, well, 25.
+> Dave - DM :  **45:14 - 45:16**
+That's still enough. So, gestic's earned Henry.
+> Fria - HT :  **45:17 - 45:18**
+We're not in the room.
+> Dave - DM :  **45:19 - 45:27**
+Okay, and Robin made it, didn't he? Yeah. Okay, well, all right.
+Right, so what did you want to do, Fulff? Hang on, Freya's not in the room either.
+> Jestix - TE :  **45:29 - 45:29**
+She is.
+> Dave - DM :  **45:30 - 45:31**
+She was.
+> Jestix - TE :  **45:31 - 45:38**
+Yeah. I think. Yeah.
+Howard didn't move her figure, but she went in to watch what Robin was doing.
+> Robin - PN :  **45:38 - 45:52**
+Okay. All right. So, ready, says Fulff.
+I'm going to do something rash. And then he casts a shout. Oh, interesting.
+At the prison.
+> Jestix - TE :  **45:53 - 45:55**
+I thought you were just going to touch it.
+> Dave - DM :  **46:06 - 46:29**
+Okay. Well, dramatic purposes only. Your shout hits it and there was a cracking all the way through it.
+And then it's like the power is so strong it reforms. Hmm.
+> Robin - PN :  **46:34 - 46:40**
+Hmm. He scratches his head. Isn't there a way to touch it?
+> Dave - DM :  **46:41 - 47:11**
+Smooth, clear crystal. Hold. The dragon comes forward right up to where she is.
+Looking exactly into her eyes. Look back. She's not afraid.
+And he's also simultaneously looking at Fulff and where Robin is and where Freya is.
+> Jestix - TE :  **47:13 - 47:15**
+Take out the other man in time more.
+> Robin - PN :  **47:22 - 47:23**
+Okay. Well, that'll be next round.
+> Fria - HT :  **47:30 - 47:39**
+Okay. Okay. Am I unable to even think or am I just eating?
+> Dave - DM :  **47:41 - 48:09**
+Well, as a player you can talk to everybody, Howard, but as a character you can't do anything. Oh, guys, that thing needs to disintegrate. You should try this bloody cheese.
+Ah. Ah. Once you've finished eating this, then maybe you'll...
+It's just... Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
+Yeah.
+> Robin - PN :  **48:09 - 48:15**
+It's going to take him several minutes to eat the cheese, even at his pace. At pace, yes.
+> Dave - DM :  **48:16 - 48:49**
+So, next round, I would guess, unless Robin's doing anything else. I was trying to detect traps, but... Yes, you can make a roll.
+Er, 50. There are no traps. You're reasonably certain.
+Although, you think that this door is physically sealed in a way that you don't think that even with your prestigious abilities you'll be able to open. Ah. You think you're missing something important.
+By letting the dragon go.
+> Jestix - TE :  **48:54 - 48:58**
+Don't look like we can get through this door without something else happening, guys.
+> Dave - DM :  **48:59 - 49:03**
+I'm starting to feel hungry, a little bit. Next round, do your willpower rolls at 17.
+> Fria - HT :  **49:05 - 49:14**
+It's been three, guys. Made it.
+> Dave - DM :  **49:18 - 49:20**
+So, what would you like to do on round seven?
+> Wolf - PB :  **49:23 - 49:29**
+Try and break open the dragon's prison. With an adamantite maul of smashing.
+> Dave - DM :  **49:32 - 49:43**
+For Christ's sake. Do you remember exactly where this is?
+> Robin - PN :  **49:48 - 49:53**
+No, no, it's... No, no, this is me holding a weapon that I've just created.
+> Dave - DM :  **49:53 - 49:58**
+Oh, okay. So, it's not the great maul that runs behind the party.
+> Robin - PN :  **49:58 - 50:01**
+I think it broke, didn't it? No, I've got a...
+> Fria - HT :  **50:01 - 50:03**
+He's got that...
+> Dave - DM :  **50:03 - 50:04**
+Weaponics great maul.
+> Robin - PN :  **50:04 - 50:10**
+No, no. Not a javelin, it's a...
+> Dave - DM :  **50:10 - 50:12**
+Oh, you've got the diamond lance as well, but I thought you'd used that.
+> Robin - PN :  **50:13 - 50:28**
+I have used it, but it's still intense. But it's looking extremely dodgy. I think I've only got one more use out of it.
+So, that might work, but... I think you were saving that, weren't you? Yeah, I don't know what for exactly, but yeah, saving it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **50:28 - 50:29**
+It's actually this.
+> Dave - DM :  **50:29 - 50:32**
+I suppose you were saving it for Mithrak, I think. Possibly.
+> Wolf - PB :  **50:35 - 50:43**
+Obviously, I need to ride in on my steed whilst wielding the lance. I think we've had a friend attack.
+> Fria - HT :  **50:44 - 50:51**
+He's just down there. Oh, my God. What do you mean, a dog?
+> Dave - DM :  **50:53 - 50:55**
+It's like living in a swamp.
+> Robin - PN :  **50:57 - 51:01**
+Do they ever look apologetic?
+> Fria - HT :  **51:03 - 51:05**
+My eyes are watering. This is disgusting.
+> Dave - DM :  **51:06 - 51:14**
+Hey, Ben. I'm so afraid of this bastard. It's just disgusting here.
+Poor Howard's covering up.
+> Jestix - TE :  **51:17 - 51:19**
+It's projection. It's always projection.
+> Robin - PN :  **51:19 - 51:23**
+Yeah, he always could have a friend around when he wanted to cover one up.
+> Dave - DM :  **51:25 - 51:36**
+Right, so we've had an action from Roban. We've had an action from... Vulf is just about to hit.
+Not this round. That was the last round.
+> Robin - PN :  **51:36 - 51:42**
+Yeah, so this round, Vulf wants to try and whack the thing. Try and break it up a bit.
+> Dave - DM :  **51:43 - 51:52**
+And Roban will cast a spell. Anything from Jestix?
+> Jestix - TE :  **51:52 - 51:58**
+Not at the moment. I don't think there are any spells that will do at the moment.
+> Wolf - PB :  **51:59 - 52:00**
+Do something, dude.
+> Fria - HT :  **52:00 - 52:05**
+Just smack me around and break me out of my idiom.
+> Jestix - TE :  **52:08 - 52:11**
+I could knock you unconscious. That would stop you eating.
+> Fria - HT :  **52:14 - 52:22**
+That might almost be an improvement on my current condition. If you can think of anything to break my hunger.
+> Dave - DM :  **52:24 - 52:52**
+Okay, so Roban's casting a spell. Well, I think it's reasonably easy for you to hit it. Yeah.
+I can't see any reason why you shouldn't just succeed. Okay. Roll some damage, I suppose.
+Alright. Theoretically you can't crit, I don't think.
+> Robin - PN :  **52:52 - 52:59**
+No, I don't think you can crit against objects. Well, I'll do maximum. What's it?
+> Jestix - TE :  **53:01 - 53:02**
+Power attack.
+> Wolf - PB :  **53:02 - 53:07**
+Power attack, because why wouldn't I? One of those.
+> Robin - PN :  **53:13 - 53:26**
+I'll make it cold. If that has any effect. So, how many pluses can I get?
+> Jestix - TE :  **53:29 - 53:34**
+? Well, I'm tempted to do a full attack anyway.
+> Fria - HT :  **53:44 - 53:46**
+It's really great.
+> Dave - DM :  **53:48 - 54:06**
+Well, you could fireball the cheese wheel. Then you'd have your own little fondue. You could dip the rations in.
+Okay.
+> Jestix - TE :  **54:06 - 54:08**
+You can't concentrate, fortunately.
+> Robin - PN :  **54:10 - 54:12**
+damage from the first blow.
+> Dave - DM :  **54:14 - 54:30**
+The thing resonates for a moment. The dragon inside kind of moves back for a moment. Then a fiery breath envelops the whole area.
+> Robin - PN :  **54:33 - 54:34**
+What, inside the sphere?
+> Dave - DM :  **54:35 - 54:35**
+Yeah.
+> Jestix - TE :  **54:39 - 54:44**
+So much for the super fast broadband.
+> Dave - DM :  **54:45 - 54:56**
+It's docked off the table too. I think Fred's fart was acidic. Into the ether with it.
+> Wolf - PB :  **54:57 - 55:04**
+So, I hit the sphere and the dragon breathes inside the sphere.
+> Robin - PN :  **55:05 - 55:08**
+It was all flamey, but nothing obvious happened.
+> Dave - DM :  **55:09 - 55:40**
+Nothing at all. You bash it several more times and it doesn't do anything. Apart from the dragon-looking miffed.
+So, Robin, did you...? I'm turning myself into a winged humanoid of some type. Give me a winged humanoid. A particular sort of winged humanoid?
+> Robin - PN :  **55:40 - 55:41**
+A harpy.
+> Dave - DM :  **55:43 - 55:51**
+A harpy? Can I be a harpy? I don't get any of its powers or anything.
+> Wolf - PB :  **55:52 - 55:53**
+It's the spell you're using, isn't it?
+> Dave - DM :  **55:54 - 55:56**
+Yeah, it's just all to self.
+> Wolf - PB :  **55:58 - 56:06**
+Possibly not, then. I think I'll be something similar height. I'll be a pixie.
+One of those sorts of things. They're quite small, aren't they?
+> Jestix - TE :  **56:07 - 56:09**
+Yeah, pixies are smaller than I thought.
+> Wolf - PB :  **56:09 - 56:12**
+He's a hobbit. He is though.
+> Jestix - TE :  **56:12 - 56:14**
+Yeah, but pixies are even smaller.
+> Dave - DM :  **56:15 - 56:32**
+I think with all to self I can get a size category larger. Is there a winged human thing? You're bound to be.
+Well, I'll turn into a winged human thing.
+> Wolf - PB :  **56:32 - 56:41**
+I think it's winged elves. I've run adventures with winged elves in, but whether or not they exist in this world, I don't know.
+> Dave - DM :  **56:46 - 58:07**
+Right, well, something with wings anyway. Have a winged kobold. Sorry?
+Just as I can quickly find him. I can't stand on top of that. Okay, I'm a winged kobold now.
+Fair enough. That's quite a good one. I quite like that.
+Yeah, that was part of the set that you can buy from Hero Forge. Alright. So, er...
+Flappity flappity flappity flappity flappity. I think the dragon, the evil looking red dragon follows you around the room. It's probably thinking, oh, lots of cohorts have started to appear before me.
+Isn't Del up to anything? Wiggle her bum, maybe. Get some red in her.
+> Robin - PN :  **58:11 - 58:13**
+I don't think she's that kind of a girl.
+> Dave - DM :  **58:19 - 58:34**
+Are dragons particularly colourist? I think it's metallicist. I must go on to, have I got the guts, please?
+RPG.net, are dragons racist?
+> Robin - PN :  **58:35 - 58:42**
+Colourist. Well, they will speak with humans, that's where you get half-dragons, isn't it?
+> Jestix - TE :  **58:43 - 58:54**
+Clearly they're not, because you wouldn't get whatever is the multi-coloured one. Yeah, but they're quite rare. Yeah, it's a difficult process.
+> Dave - DM :  **58:57 - 59:04**
+Is a white dragon and a black dragon racist? I mean, surely if they were to mate.
+> Jestix - TE :  **59:06 - 59:20**
+You'd get a zebra. You'd get cold acid.
+> Robin - PN :  **59:21 - 59:25**
+OK, she's leaving, is she? Yeah, she flaps back. Can we get out of here?
+> Jestix - TE :  **59:26 - 59:27**
+I don't know.
+> Robin - PN :  **59:28 - 59:28**
+Try it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **59:30 - 59:33**
+Well, we need to shut the door into this room. It's an airlock.
+> Dave - DM :  **59:35 - 59:38**
+Oh, maybe that's why the other door didn't open, I say.
+> Jestix - TE :  **59:38 - 59:41**
+Yes, it is precisely why the other door didn't open.
+> Dave - DM :  **59:41 - 59:42**
+Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap.
+> Jestix - TE :  **59:43 - 59:49**
+Why don't you shut the door then? Well, do you want to drag Freya in here with me?
+> Dave - DM :  **59:51 - 1:00:10**
+OK, I think probably a last roll from Isindel as she drags Freya in and closes the door behind her, I assume that's what you're going to do. That's just me and you against a dragon. Yeah, and then you two can make rolls.
+.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:00:14 - 1:00:21**
+All right then, once Freya's here, I start punching her. Stop eating, you stupid person.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:00:24 - 1:00:26**
+We can go back now.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:00:26 - 1:00:36**
+I've got a lot of food on me. No, when we go back, I am going to be holding your arms.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:00:38 - 1:00:44**
+Wolf will ride his horse towards Rabban, and when that door shuts, we'll try and open this door.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:00:47 - 1:01:10**
+It does not open. Round 18, make a roll. I make it.
+Don't even need to, bro. But maybe you've got time for us. Did you not fail at all?
+When she gets to the right number, I can. But you haven't got high enough yet.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:01:13 - 1:01:14**
+OK, he fell on a 1.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:01:18 - 1:01:20**
+No, he said before he doesn't fail on a 1.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:01:20 - 1:01:34**
+I thought that was only a fortitude save. Is it both Isindel and Wolf have to make saves, or just Wolf?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:01:35 - 1:01:47**
+Well, Isindel needs to make one on round 17, which she hadn't already. She had, she made it. And then she flagged Freya and myself into the airlock and closed the door, which is alright.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:01:48 - 1:01:53**
+OK, so it goes Wolf. You made it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:01:54 - 1:01:59**
+I will start tying Freya's arms up.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:02:02 - 1:02:05**
+I'm just holding the food just out of her reach.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:02:06 - 1:02:12**
+No, put it in her mouth so she doesn't have to use her arms while I do it.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:02:14 - 1:02:17**
+See her dance. OK.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:02:18 - 1:02:24**
+Alright, so this round, time to depart. Double move.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:02:26 - 1:02:29**
+Well, yeah, you can jump on my horse, back of my horse if you're small or something.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:02:30 - 1:02:46**
+Yeah, I'd give at least 120. OK, cool. Getting near my cut-off point where I actually have to start rolling.
+OK, round 19, make another roll, and then you're in the room.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:02:48 - 1:02:52**
+Do I make it out, or do I start eating people? No, I make it out.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:02:55 - 1:03:13**
+Once they're all in and I've secured Freya, we will open the other door, hopefully going back into the room, or open the door and see if it leads us back into the room of hunger.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:03:14 - 1:03:33**
+OK, Freya will do a silenced, or whatever it is, no somatic, a de-door-out, if you will. You'll rappel? I'm being coward-wise, I think, a bit, but Freya would.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:03:33 - 1:03:39**
+She would, but can she actually do it, because she's under the influence of the eat-everything-in-sight?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:03:40 - 1:03:41**
+You're stopping her eating.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:03:42 - 1:03:45**
+No, he's still putting food in her mouth.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:03:46 - 1:03:48**
+Oh, OK, if you're still feeding her, then it's all right.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:03:50 - 1:03:56**
+It's just so that once we come through here, I can drag her, or we can move her out of the room.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:04:03 - 1:04:05**
+You're going to cross the room with the food?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:04:05 - 1:04:10**
+Yes. OK, fine. And join Anna's foot on the other side.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:04:12 - 1:04:21**
+Ahon will have tried a few things on Fanbane, to try and quench his hunger.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:04:24 - 1:04:36**
+Well, just as a get Freya and Fanbane away from this room as much as possible, I will roll out the carpet and I'll wend us somewhere else.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:04:37 - 1:05:06**
+OK, once Fanbane has basically eaten all of Amnestut's food, a couple of rounds later he recovers. OK. About two rounds after you get back outside, Freya stops wanting to eat.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:05:09 - 1:05:11**
+Oh, we got outside.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:05:11 - 1:05:13**
+Yeah, we ran away.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:05:13 - 1:05:19**
+Aha. It's getting to the point that people are going to fail.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:05:20 - 1:05:33**
+Yeah, so you were dragged by Isondelle back into this room and closed the door because they thought the door on the other side might open. If this door was shut, and it didn't, and then they then legged it out.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:05:34 - 1:05:43**
+Yeah, with Isondelle feeding you food while we had you strapped up so you couldn't feed yourself. Thanks.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:05:45 - 1:05:52**
+A couple of rounds after you've left the area, you stop wanting to be fed.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:05:53 - 1:05:57**
+Stop it, I've had enough, I've had enough. Can't you see my face explode?
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:05:58 - 1:05:59**
+No, no, you must eat more.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:06:01 - 1:06:10**
+Weirdly, Freya doesn't actually feel bloated like she's eaten a lot of food. We're feeding something else, not ourselves.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:06:10 - 1:06:12**
+We're feeding the hungry god.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:06:13 - 1:06:19**
+Maybe feeding the dragon. Or maybe it's just fire.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:06:20 - 1:06:22**
+Like all the best Nordic tales.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:06:26 - 1:06:41**
+Well, all of this is a bit of a shame. I loved eating cheese at the time, but not to have that lovely cheesy afterglow is a bit of a shame, and I will hold that against that red thread.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:06:44 - 1:06:58**
+Well, sadly, the door is one of those really pain-in-the-bum doors which defies normal mechanics and normal spells. You've got quite a large rob, haven't you? Is it 50-something?
+> Fria - HT :  **1:06:59 - 1:07:00**
+It's 50-something.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:07:02 - 1:07:08**
+Robban thinks that it's not just an ordinary door, it's more like...
+> Fria - HT :  **1:07:08 - 1:07:11**
+Arcane portal. It's based on something else.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:07:12 - 1:07:14**
+It's one of those magical thingies.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:07:15 - 1:07:22**
+Yeah, we have to defeat that before we can get X before we can do Y.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:07:22 - 1:07:25**
+Obviously. The trouble is getting through that crystal thing.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:07:27 - 1:07:34**
+Getting through the crystal. Did we try and disintegrate? I was a little enamoured with my cheese at that point.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:07:35 - 1:07:37**
+No, because none of us can do it.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:07:38 - 1:07:49**
+Wulf tried shatter, which kind of semi-worked but then seemed to read form, and he bashed it with an adamantium...
+> Fria - HT :  **1:07:49 - 1:08:21**
+So we tried physical and other... Okay, what other ways does anyone have of shattering a magical or crystalline effect? I have nothing.
+My go-to would be a disintegrate, because that takes out the wall of force type of stuff. If I can get in front of it for long enough, I could try many different energy types.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:08:23 - 1:08:36**
+You don't need to get in front of it. We could stand in the doorway so as not being subjected to the hunger. I think I was just in the doorway.
+You were just out.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:08:36 - 1:08:43**
+You were just searching the other side of the door. As you came into that area, you failed.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:08:46 - 1:09:03**
+Is there anything else that we have heard of? Is it worth asking Radix or someone as to the best way of bypassing the crystal red dragon?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:09:04 - 1:09:20**
+To my knowledge, you've no clues or any ideas to do with the dragon inside a crystal thing. You've not heard anything that I know of.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:09:24 - 1:09:24**
+Okay.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:09:30 - 1:09:39**
+To come back to your point, we could try and go back through... Just don't enter the room and try and disintegrate.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:09:41 - 1:09:43**
+I'm very happy to do that.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:09:47 - 1:09:47**
+You know me.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:09:48 - 1:09:56**
+If anything means disintegrating, I am your gnome. It's worth a go.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:10:00 - 1:10:03**
+Admittedly, we don't know we're going to go back to the same place.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:10:04 - 1:10:20**
+Shall we give it a go? Yep. How is everyone feeling?
+Exactly as we were before. Are we all kind of restored to our... Well, exactly as we were before, but you are a lot more resistant to fire and ice.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:10:21 - 1:10:27**
+And I'm almost out of second level spells, so if there's another energy form, we're going to have to wait.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:10:27 - 1:10:44**
+Well, okay. Shall we go through that door again and see what happens? Yes.
+And this time, the moment... Would you be so kind as to open the door so that I can be ready with a spell?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:10:44 - 1:10:50**
+Because we can stand in the airlock, so you don't actually have to enter the room.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:10:52 - 1:10:58**
+Absolutely, but I also don't have to do the search and whatever.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:10:58 - 1:11:01**
+You don't need to search. We've already searched. Assuming we go back to the same place.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:11:03 - 1:11:08**
+And you have a trusting attitude that the trap doesn't change.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:11:08 - 1:11:17**
+Yeah, it's not a trap. It's just, go to a different room. We will find out when we open the door if it's the same room or a different room.
+Then we can decide what to do.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:11:17 - 1:11:26**
+And we will check the door first. So, yeah, it sounds like a good plan. Let's hit it.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:11:27 - 1:11:29**
+Okay, so you head back through into the room, yeah?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:11:30 - 1:11:30**
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:11:31 - 1:11:42**
+Piles and piles of food. Freya, as you're wandering through this room, you suddenly notice there is the most gorgeous wheel of cheese.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:11:44 - 1:11:51**
+Oh, no. I say mentally, this room adapts.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:11:53 - 1:11:58**
+You're thinking to yourself, I've got a spare place where I had a cheese.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:11:59 - 1:12:01**
+That's my cheese.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:12:02 - 1:12:13**
+Indeed. It's pre-digested. The food that people desire and eat first is what appears here.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:12:14 - 1:12:16**
+Everything you eat appears here.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:12:17 - 1:12:26**
+Exactly. The stuff that you want most, the stuff you eat first and desire most is what appears here.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:12:26 - 1:13:08**
+It's a particularly beautifully ripe wheel of cheese. I mean, it's obviously actually a better quality than the one you've just scoffed. And there is some cracker with a nice cheese knife just ready.
+It would be really, really easy just to have, you know, a tiny taste to see whether it's got the crystals of sleep. I want fame and fortune and everything that goes with it. I thank you all.
+Gentlemen, escort me through the temptations. Then you notice there's like an edam, but it's wrapped in kind of gold foil.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:13:10 - 1:13:16**
+I want fame and fortune and everything that goes with it. Gentlemen, please escort me through the temptations.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:13:17 - 1:13:19**
+I think you need to make a saving.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:13:20 - 1:13:30**
+Yeah, but my method of saving, though, is to go back to the core of me.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:13:34 - 1:13:41**
+You just missed me winding up, Howard, about a wheel of cheese being in the room of food.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:13:43 - 1:13:44**
+Close to the one you just scoffed.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:13:47 - 1:13:53**
+I have just narrowly made my willpower by 25, 26.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:13:54 - 1:14:17**
+OK, so it's a bloody tight squeeze in this 10 foot by 10 foot lift thing. We'll assume you all can get in, whether it's practical or not. It's a get who can get into the mini test.
+If an evasion role is required, I'm hiding behind both. He can take the damage for me.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:14:19 - 1:14:23**
+And then we open the door to go on to the same room.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:14:23 - 1:14:35**
+Yep, it's exactly the same as it was. And there is a dragon looking angrily out of its crystal dodecahedron. I spack the illusion with a...
+> Fria - HT :  **1:14:35 - 1:14:40**
+It's not an illusion. I spack the illusion with a disintegrator.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:14:40 - 1:14:41**
+OK.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:14:43 - 1:14:50**
+Hard and fast as I can. Actually, no, not as hard as I can.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:14:50 - 1:16:22**
+I don't use any of the spell penetration bonuses. Disintegrate. I get the spell resistance and a fortitude save if there's an object I want.
+DC 29 fortitude. Unless I really decide to nail it. OK, your ray of disintegration hits the thing.
+You smile for a moment as it seems to envelop the whole thing. But then the energy continues around the sphere. Sorry, the dodecahedron.
+And comes back and comes running towards you. And you're thinking, oh shit, oh shit. And it just fades out just before you.
+That would have been an epic way to die. Killed by your own disintegrate.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:16:25 - 1:16:35**
+Well, that's planning. Any other ideas how we can break this bloody crystal?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:16:38 - 1:16:51**
+Well, you could try to dimension door inside, I suppose. And the red dragon in the thing gives Isindel the come on, come on if you think you're hard enough look.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:16:51 - 1:16:57**
+Cage fight. Come out of here. It's your mouse, do it.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:17:05 - 1:17:15**
+Is there anything else in here that made a difference? Nothing. Like a trigger or a portal?
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:17:18 - 1:17:24**
+Well, there's nothing invisible. I've not seen visibility, have I?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:17:25 - 1:17:29**
+No, you have not seen anything visible apart from Robin and Freya.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:17:31 - 1:17:36**
+Can Ahun do a knowledge arcana while you investigate it with the detect magic?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:17:38 - 1:17:56**
+Good thought. Yes, you can. There's nothing to stop him doing that.
+Yeah, there's magic. I would imagine he's probably got. It's definitely kind of almost deity level universal magic.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:17:59 - 1:18:02**
+Okay. Can he figure out?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:18:02 - 1:18:05**
+He must go. Possibly it's an artifact.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:18:12 - 1:18:14**
+Shall we float over to it and touch it?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:18:16 - 1:18:19**
+I believe Isindel has already touched it. No.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:18:19 - 1:18:20**
+What haven't we touched in time?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:18:20 - 1:18:30**
+Nothing. It's very smooth and cold. Not cold cold, just like stone cold.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:18:33 - 1:18:40**
+With his knowledge arcana, can he figure a way to negate it, open it?
+> Fria - HT :  **1:18:43 - 1:18:44**
+Mildly casually.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:18:46 - 1:18:48**
+Mankind into destruction or something like that?
+> Fria - HT :  **1:18:49 - 1:18:53**
+I'm going to hit it with a magic missile just for fun.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:18:54 - 1:19:02**
+He's not even sure on which spell would probably damage it. Okay, just for fun I hit it with a.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:19:02 - 1:19:10**
+I light it up with some magic missiles just because. Yeah, it's just the sort of stuff I do.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:19:10 - 1:19:23**
+Okay, your magic missile hits it. And, you know, there's a momentary warm spot or whatever just because. Excellent.
+Do you think this is a Metarax kind of giant snow globe?
+> Fria - HT :  **1:19:24 - 1:19:25**
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:19:25 - 1:19:30**
+If we shake it, will it piss him off? And it looks at everybody.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:19:30 - 1:19:48**
+It's an illusion. It might be. Doesn't it have greater spell magic or something that might affect something of this power?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:19:49 - 1:19:56**
+Didn't we just have that? He just said he thinks it's an artifact. Yeah.
+He said it might be an illusion and an artifact.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:19:57 - 1:19:59**
+Well, it could be an artifact producing an illusion.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:20:01 - 1:20:14**
+True seeing, see if you can see anything weird outside of anything to help him figure out what we're supposed to do here.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:20:15 - 1:20:21**
+Okay, so true seeing into the chamber at the Dodecahedron with the dragon in, yeah? Yeah.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:20:26 - 1:20:27**
+Okay.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:20:43 - 1:20:55**
+It is an illusion. Some very, very, very, very powerful permanent image type whatever spell.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:20:58 - 1:21:00**
+Like a programmed illusion or something.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:21:00 - 1:21:26**
+Yeah, but so over the top we cast and seems to be getting energy from somewhere close. So it's actually drawing energy from something to maintain its power. And it's a significant amount of energy.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:21:27 - 1:21:33**
+Can you see where the energy is sucking it from with his various spells that he's got up?
+> Fria - HT :  **1:21:40 - 1:21:42**
+That was true seeing, was it?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:21:42 - 1:21:42**
+Yeah.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:21:46 - 1:21:47**
+If you mention it, I will.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:21:47 - 1:22:00**
+Oh yeah, he was like, yeah, it's an illusion. My, that's a powerful illusion. Very powerful.
+Energy from, from.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:22:01 - 1:22:13**
+I join in with the true seeing and try to augment his thing with my spell knowledge.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:22:15 - 1:22:21**
+You can't tell where the power's coming from. It's just coming from somewhere.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:22:22 - 1:22:23**
+Not obviously in this room.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:22:23 - 1:22:38**
+It's not, there's no source in this room, but it's somewhere. There's not a line of energy coming to the room or anything like that. Okay.
+But there's a kind of, kind of like a magical version of a whirlpool kind of sucking energy towards it.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:22:42 - 1:22:55**
+Use my spell craft. Is there any spell I know which would disrupt that whirlpool or stop it happening? Like, can I, could I, or will it force through?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:22:55 - 1:23:00**
+I can give you three that if you were to do that, the illusion would disappear.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:23:01 - 1:23:03**
+Yeah, the spell craft.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:23:04 - 1:23:11**
+Yeah, if you were to somehow disrupt the illusion, which is actually, you know, like artifact level illusion, then the illusion would disappear.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:23:13 - 1:23:17**
+But not necessarily move us any further on.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:23:17 - 1:23:33**
+I would guess that by now you both think that the crystal and the dragon itself probably are illusions. It's not just an illusion. The dragon inside a crystal, the whole thing is an illusion.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:23:34 - 1:23:48**
+What's the illusion hiding? If anything. What are we not seeing?
+I look around for everything that's not in here. Do you want me to try and take out…
+> Dave - DM :  **1:23:48 - 1:23:53**
+The set of everything not in this room. The set of everything not in the room as well.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:23:54 - 1:23:55**
+Very large.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:23:56 - 1:24:18**
+Okay. How about I… One of the things that Wall of Force does is stop spells going through.
+I could do a Wall of Force through the middle of this whirlpool and stop it for a moment. Then we all have a good look around, see what happens.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:24:20 - 1:24:39**
+But I think from what Dave said, the energy is coming from all around. So if you were to potentially force cage it… Okay, I can force cage it.
+I'm just not sure whether your force cage is big enough. But that's an interesting idea. Can a force cage float in mid-air?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:24:40 - 1:24:41**
+Yes.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:24:42 - 1:24:47**
+It's probably not big enough.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:24:49 - 1:24:54**
+I think each side is ten foot.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:24:55 - 1:25:03**
+But if I was to cast six Force Walls… Yes, you could do that.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:25:04 - 1:25:09**
+I think we had a discussion before. The Force Walls actually have to contact something.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:25:10 - 1:25:11**
+Another Force Wall.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:25:12 - 1:25:15**
+No, I think Force Walls don't have to contact anything.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:25:15 - 1:25:20**
+I thought he had to have it touching the wall. He didn't have to have it touching the floor.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:25:21 - 1:25:24**
+How high up is the illusion?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:25:26 - 1:25:35**
+It's in the middle. So it's 40 foot off the ground. I can do it.
+I can cube that thing. 25 foot or whatever.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:25:35 - 1:25:43**
+Yes. So 25 foot above the surface of the bottom of the sphere.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:25:45 - 1:25:46**
+It's hovering in the middle of the sphere, yes.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:25:46 - 1:25:51**
+Can anyone get me there by mundane means?
+> Fria - HT :  **1:25:54 - 1:26:00**
+I could Dimension Door you in there. Not Magical Illusion. Mundane.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:26:01 - 1:26:04**
+Well, flying. If somebody had flying.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:26:04 - 1:26:09**
+We know it's not easy. Just ignore it and go in. Right.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:26:10 - 1:26:16**
+I have a plan, he says. Yes, Adele, you've worried Leo, haven't you? Yes.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:26:18 - 1:26:33**
+So, says Ahem, if Isindel can fly me over to the centre of the room, I can cast Anti-Magic Field. And then that should take down the illusion.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:26:35 - 1:26:35**
+Indeed.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:26:40 - 1:26:43**
+And of course you're going to tell me, nah, that's not going to work.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:26:44 - 1:26:49**
+What's the size of the Anti-Magic Field? 10 foot radius. It's not big enough.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:26:50 - 1:26:52**
+It's more in the centre of it, it should make it go away.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:26:54 - 1:26:57**
+Yeah, it's around him and he has to just go into the centre.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:26:58 - 1:27:07**
+But you can only get to, subjectively, the edge of the illusion. No. Then your field bounces against its field.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:27:08 - 1:27:12**
+The illusion might crumble as the Anti-Magic Field hits it.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:27:15 - 1:27:17**
+It's worth a try.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:27:20 - 1:27:21**
+It's the best I can offer you.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:27:21 - 1:27:22**
+Yep, go for it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:27:25 - 1:27:28**
+But leave your familiar here.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:27:29 - 1:27:29**
+Yes.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:27:31 - 1:27:31**
+Comes back.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:27:32 - 1:27:39**
+No, it's not so much that. Because he'll fail his beating willpower again and go munching stuff. That is true, yes he will.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:28:10 - 1:28:21**
+Lent spells such Wall of Force, Prismatic Sphere, Prismatic Wall remain unaffected by Anti-Magic Fields. Artifacts and deities are unaffected by mortal magic such as this.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:28:22 - 1:28:23**
+That is true. Wow.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:28:25 - 1:28:27**
+So you're basically gambling on that.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:28:29 - 1:28:33**
+You haven't specifically said that he thinks it's an artifact. He does say it's very powerful.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:28:33 - 1:28:37**
+It's very powerful. It's artifact level. It may not actually be, as you say, an artifact.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:28:39 - 1:28:42**
+So 25th plus sort of thing. Yes, that sort of.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:28:44 - 1:28:50**
+I still say it's worth a risk. So who's doing what, sorry?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:28:51 - 1:28:53**
+It's down to Izzadel and Ahum really.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:28:53 - 1:29:01**
+Okay, so Ahum climbs onto the back of Izzadel. I don't see. She's probably strong enough, isn't she, to flap?
+Yeah.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:29:02 - 1:29:05**
+She's probably not. She's not suited to pitch.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:29:06 - 1:29:17**
+Okay, so round to get there, yeah? Yeah. So they can both make saves.
+DC 10, your powers.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:29:18 - 1:29:31**
+Okay, so Ahum will probably cast anti-magic field before he leaves. Okay. That's reasonable.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:29:32 - 1:29:37**
+But anyway. Because if he fails, he can still be carried to the target.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:29:37 - 1:29:41**
+I mean, it temporarily disables all the magical effects on you. It does.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:29:42 - 1:29:45**
+That's why he was asking for a mundane method of getting there.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:29:45 - 1:29:49**
+Yes. I'm just saying that everyone's magical effects might disappear.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:29:51 - 1:30:06**
+Temporarily. But they'll wing back into existence as soon as he is flapped off. So they both made it even with reduced saving throw bonuses.
+Blah, blah, blah, blah. Centre of the room.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:30:07 - 1:30:07**
+Okay.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:30:11 - 1:30:27**
+Have any effect on the illusion? It disappears completely. Right.
+Good. Mind you, I'll be affected by the weirdness of the room inside the anti-magic field. Because that's surely a magical effect.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:30:36 - 1:30:42**
+Okay. I'm prepared to accept that you are not affected by the you're feeling hungry field.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:30:44 - 1:30:53**
+Okay. It disappears. We see if we can spot anything of use in the now disappeared area.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:30:54 - 1:30:55**
+No.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:30:55 - 1:30:56**
+Oh, whack.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:31:00 - 1:31:02**
+Howard seems to be ahead.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:31:03 - 1:31:06**
+I cast the... what's the word? I am.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:31:06 - 1:31:07**
+This is getting to frizz.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:31:07 - 1:31:29**
+I am just ahead. I'm down here. I'm sitting down because it's been a long bloody day.
+I cast myself a delightful detect magic. Roban and I, I suggest to Roban and I search the entire place to see if there's any...
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:31:29 - 1:31:41**
+You can't search the entire place. You really can't search the entire place. It could be a spider climb.
+No, not that. He will fail his hunger roll. Multiple times.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:31:42 - 1:31:42**
+Okay.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:31:42 - 1:32:00**
+We get in there as quickly as we can and we search with detect magic to find a locus or focus for this magic. As quickly as we can while it's been taken down.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:32:00 - 1:32:03**
+But you can do that from the entrance way.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:32:04 - 1:32:10**
+Yes. Okay. I don't know how far the detect works.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:32:11 - 1:32:32**
+I think it's 60 feet. We can get almost across the... not quite but almost.
+So for 60 feet we search. And if that's not enough we'll run in. Yeah.
+The background, whatever. I'm looking for a focus or somehow a focal point.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:32:33 - 1:32:33**
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:32:33 - 1:32:55**
+Now the illusion's gone. You can probably detect that there is a quite significant... What's the right term?
+Enchantment, charm type effect in the room.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:32:57 - 1:33:00**
+To make us all believe that there's a dragon watching us.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:33:00 - 1:33:02**
+Well no, to make you hungry.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:33:04 - 1:33:12**
+Okay. Is there any way of... spellcraft, can I negate or reduce that?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:33:13 - 1:33:13**
+No.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:33:15 - 1:33:16**
+Okay.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:33:17 - 1:33:19**
+No ifs, no buts, just no.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:33:23 - 1:33:25**
+So it's just a room where...
+> Dave - DM :  **1:33:25 - 1:33:29**
+If you could cover yourself in an anti-magic field, probably.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:33:30 - 1:33:44**
+Good call. Well we could all walk across the anti-magic field and then have a look at the door on the other side. But Roban had a quick look at that and said...
+> Robin - PN :  **1:33:44 - 1:33:46**
+Yeah, a quick and detailed look at it. That's the problem.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:33:49 - 1:33:51**
+Well, I did get a 50.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:33:52 - 1:33:53**
+Yeah.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:33:54 - 1:33:59**
+That was on what? Disabled device or fine traps or what?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:34:00 - 1:34:01**
+Yeah, fine traps.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:34:03 - 1:34:07**
+And you didn't think you'd be able to open it because it's more of a portal than a door?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:34:07 - 1:34:27**
+Yeah, it's something magical. It's not really a door. Okay, let's walk across in the anti-magic shell, prepare ourselves, regrettably have to drop it and do a magic little analysis of the door on the far side.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:34:30 - 1:34:50**
+Okay. Since, before you do that, since Adam can't see anything or Isindel can't see anything, so enter the room, they spend a round or two there, then they go back and are back with the others. And then...
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:34:51 - 1:34:53**
+Does the illusion reappear? Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:34:57 - 1:35:05**
+Okay, the anti-magic field's still there. For the moment. Yeah, it just appears back.
+The moment it's kind of like left the area.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:35:06 - 1:35:11**
+Does it look like a young kind of Metaract, red dragon type thing?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:35:12 - 1:35:16**
+Could be, but you don't know what a young Metaract would look like.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:35:17 - 1:35:28**
+Hey, Metaract. It's the illusion. Show us your real self these days.
+Stop the conceit. You're not that young anymore.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:35:32 - 1:35:42**
+It doesn't... I cajole. I give them a hard time.
+It stares at you simultaneously, all of you. Straight in the eye.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:35:42 - 1:35:51**
+Now, here's a thought. If you take your anti-magic field over to the other door...
+> Dave - DM :  **1:35:54 - 1:35:54**
+How long does it last?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:35:59 - 1:36:00**
+Minutes, I would guess.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:36:04 - 1:36:08**
+Anti-magic field. Ten minutes a level.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:36:10 - 1:36:15**
+Oh, it's a little while then. So you could actually go round the entire room.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:36:15 - 1:36:32**
+Some of you are probably feeling a little bit naked. All those belts of giant strength and charisma artifacts you're wearing. You're probably kind of like suddenly thinking, I've got spots now.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:36:33 - 1:36:39**
+All I can say is, these are masterwork robes.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:36:42 - 1:36:46**
+Does Robin look any different in an anti-magic field?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:36:48 - 1:36:55**
+Can't see him. In an anti-magic field? Can't see him.
+That's impressive.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:36:58 - 1:37:02**
+What you really are invisible in an anti-magic field is you just don't join.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:37:05 - 1:37:09**
+You may think whatever you wish. True seeing?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:37:10 - 1:37:13**
+Don't bother casting spells on Ravi, we don't care.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:37:13 - 1:37:16**
+You can't see him in an anti-magic field Howard, it won't work.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:37:17 - 1:37:27**
+I did a true seeing earlier. I suggest we head over to the other door and have a damn good thaumaturgical look.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:37:28 - 1:37:32**
+I think he's only going to open once we solve the puzzle of this room. That's what the others have done.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:37:34 - 1:37:37**
+Let's have a good look and see if we get any clues.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:37:39 - 1:38:05**
+Let's say that you're going to go across there. In the anti-magic field of Amundstead. How is that going to work?
+There's a 20 foot drop here. You can't use your broom of flying, you can't use anything. You can clamber down, there's no big deal.
+You could fly across being carried.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:38:07 - 1:38:12**
+But then the anti-magic field won't come over because I'm not sure she can carry all three of them.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:38:13 - 1:38:15**
+She might be able to, she's very strong.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:38:15 - 1:38:17**
+I'm very easy to carry.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:38:17 - 1:38:21**
+It's a short distance and the gnome and the fish boy are not terribly heavy.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:38:22 - 1:38:25**
+I'm prepared to accept that she'd be knackered on the other side.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:38:27 - 1:38:29**
+Sure you know, there's just a couple around.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:38:29 - 1:38:32**
+So she flies over with gnome and fish boy.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:38:33 - 1:38:38**
+Yeah, lands on the far edge. Now what?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:38:39 - 1:38:44**
+Well, fish boy go and walk up to the door and see if it's now open with his anti-magic field interrupting it.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:38:45 - 1:38:56**
+Yeah, anti-magic field. We do a thorough check for traps with a spell casting.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:38:56 - 1:38:59**
+As he gets there, there's a stone wall.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:39:00 - 1:39:01**
+There is no door.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:39:02 - 1:39:02**
+It's an illusion.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:39:07 - 1:39:26**
+Ah, in which case, go round the room, find the real exit. The real exit is hidden somewhere in the room. So if you effectively circle the room going down to the bottom and then up to the top.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:39:27 - 1:39:29**
+Yep, we shall do so.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:39:30 - 1:39:35**
+You should be able to disrupt the magic that's disguising the exit if there is one.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:39:35 - 1:39:44**
+Or it could just be that the exit just reverts back to a stone wall when it's anti-magic.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:39:47 - 1:39:58**
+Yeah, that's a huge level of double think. Let's try the single think. Blow me out.
+I'm down here.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:39:59 - 1:40:07**
+I mentally say to Jestix, why don't we shut the airlock door just in case that also triggers some sort of thing.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:40:08 - 1:40:09**
+I shut the airlock door for them.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:40:09 - 1:40:14**
+That could also trap them in there. But they can't hit you at the moment.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:40:15 - 1:40:29**
+No, because they have the magic field. That's your right. We can shout across the room.
+We're going to shut the door. See if you can open that door. Okay.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:40:30 - 1:40:33**
+Couldn't before, says Wolf, shouting.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:40:34 - 1:41:20**
+Okay, the door gets closed. Why has Gemini just opened it? Because they want to monitor you every possible bloody year.
+Please tell the NSA that we know where Mr Nash is. If they don't know where I am, they're not doing a very good job. The door does not appear at the other side.
+We diligently search for changes in this room.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:41:22 - 1:41:37**
+All right, we will flop down as Freya desires, and then wander around the room on foot, covering the entire area with the anti-magic field.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:41:38 - 1:41:41**
+On foot and also having to fly to get to the roof.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:41:41 - 1:41:45**
+Well, we'll start over on foot. Of course.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:41:47 - 1:41:50**
+Piss off, I'm not flying you around anymore.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:41:51 - 1:41:56**
+She'll catch her breath while we do the lower bit, and then she'll whip us round the top.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:41:57 - 1:42:04**
+Okay, you... What's your take 10 search roll?
+> Fria - HT :  **1:42:06 - 1:42:09**
+Take 10 search, I think...
+> Robin - PN :  **1:42:09 - 1:42:10**
+for Ismdell.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:42:11 - 1:42:14**
+Okay. I think mine's only 30.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:42:16 - 1:42:24**
+Ismdell's second best in the party. Oh, search roll? Oh no, that's worse.
+Back in a minute.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:42:31 - 1:42:34**
+I think even so, you're not... 22.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:42:45 - 1:42:46**
+Not waving, but drowning.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:42:47 - 1:43:00**
+You search around, the stonework looks perfect. There doesn't seem to be any concealed exits, entrances, traps.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:43:02 - 1:43:17**
+Okay, whilst you're struggling, make an effort to carry those three around at the same height as these areas are. Yep. And just do a trip round.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:43:17 - 1:43:27**
+Yep, the dragon follows you around the room. The only thing it's got to do in its total imaginary existence is watch you.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:43:36 - 1:43:45**
+So, after doing a higher level rotation, do we come across anything weird?
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:43:45 - 1:43:46**
+No.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:43:47 - 1:43:57**
+Okay. When we got to the Medusa level, I got myself a lovely, highly polished metal shield.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:44:00 - 1:44:00**
+Okay.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:44:00 - 1:44:17**
+On the idea that ho-ho-ho wouldn't this be fun. Yes, I think I remember that. I dig it out from the very, very bottom of my...
+I get it out and I... No, you don't.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:44:18 - 1:44:19**
+No, you don't.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:44:19 - 1:44:22**
+No? No, that holding is unusable.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:44:23 - 1:44:23**
+Yeah.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:44:23 - 1:44:26**
+So, I step outside...
+> Robin - PN :  **1:44:26 - 1:44:29**
+Don't step outside, it'll yank you back in.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:44:29 - 1:44:31**
+You're going to get hungry and then it'll all go to worms.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:44:32 - 1:44:42**
+How about we do that and then we present that and see if we can make the illusion that we're going to shuff and explode.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:44:44 - 1:44:46**
+Right. Let me take you back.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:44:48 - 1:44:52**
+Oh, take us back to the entrance and then that's what we'll do.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:44:53 - 1:45:00**
+Yeah. It takes you back to the entrance. We all go back into the entranceway.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:45:02 - 1:45:04**
+Back into the Hall of Hunger, maybe?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:45:05 - 1:45:18**
+No, just into the entranceway. Then our home will step out. Yep.
+Right to the edge of the ledge. Isn't there, we'll be with him. So, Freya can go in, dig out a shield or mirror.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:45:20 - 1:45:26**
+Oh, see what happens when the staring illusion stares at itself.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:45:27 - 1:45:50**
+Just on the off chance that it causes a rupture. Okay, so you've got some kind of large shield, metal shield, highly polished. Get it out.
+Probably Freya has a struggle carrying it, but okay. Well, once he's got it out... I've got a belt of giant strength plus three.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:45:50 - 1:45:55**
+Which you can't wear with the anti-magic field.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:45:56 - 1:45:58**
+No, I'm out of the anti-magic field.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:45:59 - 1:46:00**
+So, at the moment, you're lifting it up.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:46:01 - 1:46:05**
+Then I present it to the illusion and the challenge.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:46:05 - 1:46:07**
+You need to come back into the room.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:46:08 - 1:46:09**
+No, you can do it from the doorway.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:46:10 - 1:46:22**
+So, you're pointing it at the dragon at the moment. The shiny side is pointing at the dragon. It doesn't seem to do anything.
+It's looking at you all individually.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:46:25 - 1:46:34**
+Okay, I was just wondering if it would look at itself for fun. I snaffled my toy back into it.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:46:34 - 1:46:46**
+From your perspective of holding the silver mirror, the shield, you're looking over the top, I assume. It seems to be looking directly into your eyes.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:46:47 - 1:46:53**
+Okay, so it's looking at the being, not the light.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:46:53 - 1:46:57**
+And it's also looking directly into the eyes of Amun-Stut and Isabel.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:46:57 - 1:46:58**
+Yep, absolutely.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:46:59 - 1:47:06**
+So, simultaneously. It's an illusion. It's not going to trigger your mirror.
+Because it doesn't exist.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:47:07 - 1:47:23**
+Yep, just trying out everything. Have you got any good thoughts? No, no, it wasn't a reasonable thought.
+I tried to spell, we tried to shout.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:47:26 - 1:47:28**
+It's not a crystal ball.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:47:39 - 1:47:47**
+If it's always staring into our eyes, what happens if we enter the room but keep our eyes shut and then we get to the far side?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:47:48 - 1:47:51**
+Interesting thought. How would you know?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:47:53 - 1:47:54**
+What do you mean, how would you know?
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:47:55 - 1:47:58**
+I'm pointing that question to the group, not to the DM.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:48:06 - 1:48:10**
+One of us would need to keep their eyes open and guide.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:48:10 - 1:48:23**
+Just as a simple point, the other people are not seeing the dragon look at Isabel. The dragon was always looking at people. I know.
+Yeah, so you don't see...
+> Robin - PN :  **1:48:23 - 1:48:51**
+You don't see the dragon looking at other people, he's always looking at you. Yeah. But if you shut your eyes so that the dragon's never looked at you as you cross the room, then maybe that will make a difference.
+Could do. Because presumably you have your back to the dragon when you try to open that far door. But I don't think it will make a difference.
+But the fact that he's always looking at you...
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:48:51 - 1:48:55**
+You're using the, if I can't see it, he can't see me logic.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:48:56 - 1:49:00**
+Something along those lines, yes. Someone still thinks I can't see it most of the time anyway.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:49:01 - 1:49:04**
+That's true. If you're more than ten feet away, he's slightly buggered.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:49:11 - 1:49:13**
+I think he needs to fly with a walking stick.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:49:14 - 1:49:16**
+A white stick.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:49:17 - 1:49:37**
+In case he bumps into stuff when he's flying. Okay. Are we out of ideas as to how to get past this one?
+Should we go and consult someone like Radix or the Sage?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:49:38 - 1:49:40**
+Yeah, that's an option that happens, isn't it?
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:49:41 - 1:49:44**
+As it's trying to explore a few things before we, you know, start.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:49:45 - 1:49:58**
+But if we are out of ideas, and in my current state my number of ideas per minute is very low. I'm still down here probably.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:49:59 - 1:50:06**
+We can see you, just about. As you're slowly sliding into the floor. Yep.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:50:13 - 1:50:18**
+The cavern is actually putting up a very good fight. I'm not drunk as much as I thought I would.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:50:22 - 1:50:24**
+It's a waste to get drunk on the cavern.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:50:26 - 1:50:30**
+It's better than doing it on an open little bay.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:50:31 - 1:50:36**
+Well, true. But it's still a sacrilegious use of Singapore.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:50:40 - 1:50:44**
+Yes, you know, I think it's exactly what Singapore is designed for.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:50:44 - 1:50:53**
+It's sitting around with friends, chatting and enjoying yourself and drinking fabulously good whisky.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:50:57 - 1:51:09**
+I just wish that you guys could have some. And when I'm a multi-millionaire, I shall have some airflated to each of you.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:51:09 - 1:51:20**
+I could broach the Macallan 12 I have on my shelf at the moment. We shall drink a Macallan 12 together, Pete. I have to finish the gin first.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:51:22 - 1:51:34**
+I finished the gin way earlier. It's such a lovely sunny afternoon. Ben, as in Adrian's son, is here.
+It's Nick's birthday tomorrow.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:51:36 - 1:51:53**
+Nick's cat's sitting next door. Ben is here staying with us while he's working. And so we had a gentleman's gin in the sunshine to end the day.
+It was lovely. Then I cooked an acreage of lasagna.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:51:55 - 1:52:05**
+And four of us actually managed to defeat a Howard lasagna. My lasagnas have not been defeated for quite a long while.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:52:06 - 1:52:06**
+You must be hungry.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:52:08 - 1:52:19**
+A, we were all hungry. And B, Glenny and Ben wanted to keep some back for lunch tomorrow. So there's two...
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:52:19 - 1:52:27**
+Strictly speaking, you didn't defeat it. Well, yeah. You parked some of it for later.
+That's what he said.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:52:28 - 1:52:57**
+Yeah. I'm being generous. They didn't defeat my lasagna.
+It's been a lovely evening. They all watched Deadpool and Wolverine. Which I've started twice now and never finished.
+And I sat here with you guys and a 12-year-old mechanic. There have been worse evenings in my life. Good.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:52:59 - 1:53:02**
+So are you going to try this I'm closing my eyes trick?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:53:02 - 1:53:08**
+No, I've got another idea. Possibly. Maybe.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:53:09 - 1:53:19**
+Do we know that the doors are magical? Does Adam know that the strange doors are magical?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:53:20 - 1:53:27**
+I think you had figured out that there must be something magical going on. Because how can there possibly be the same room?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:53:29 - 1:53:30**
+Well, indeed, yes.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:53:32 - 1:53:37**
+And you're reasonably certain that it is the same room?
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:53:39 - 1:53:44**
+The room beyond. Okay. I just assumed that The Hunger in Texas is different rooms.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:53:45 - 1:53:55**
+This room and this room are suspiciously would be the same.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:53:57 - 1:54:00**
+One has all our friends in and the other doesn't.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:54:01 - 1:54:11**
+So which room, which room, which room? The one on the other side of The Hunger. The checkerboard floor.
+The checkerboard floors actually might just be the same room.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:54:13 - 1:54:27**
+So just like there is a kind of extra-dimensional chamber for the Red Saints prison, this is something similar. Now...
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:54:27 - 1:54:32**
+What happens if we could get through that far door? Do we think that solves the problem?
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:54:33 - 1:54:42**
+No. Well, on the other rooms, when we go back through that door, we end up back in the room with all the food.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:54:42 - 1:54:45**
+Yeah, you then end up back here.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:54:46 - 1:54:50**
+Okay, but we found a sigil in the Giants room, did we?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:54:50 - 1:54:57**
+Yes, and when you went through, effectively, that room, you ended up over here.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:54:57 - 1:54:57**
+Indeed.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:54:59 - 1:55:03**
+So that's what we haven't found in this room. Somewhere in this room there's a sigil.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:55:05 - 1:55:06**
+It's well hidden.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:55:09 - 1:55:38**
+Now, is this an extra-dimensional problem? Because there is a bonus somewhere, which I'm looking for, that people who've studied World Weaver's notes get a bonus of plus ten when they study the notes and think about it. I'm looking for...
+> Dave - DM :  **1:55:38 - 1:55:46**
+Certainly there is some kind of weird-arse dimension going on. Pocket dimension type stuff going on, yes.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:55:47 - 1:55:51**
+But what we really need, we think, is to find the sigil in here.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:55:51 - 1:56:05**
+Okay, so Amundsdottir and I have a plus two insight bonus on knowledge of the planes roles for this sort of thing, with more bonus available if we would study World Weaver's notes.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:56:07 - 1:56:09**
+I'm not sure on this particular instance.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:56:09 - 1:56:13**
+Has Amundsdottir got knowledge of the planes?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:56:13 - 1:56:14**
+He does, yeah.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:56:16 - 1:56:29**
+Can he have a plus two insight to see if he thinks this is a viable field of research?
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:56:49 - 1:56:50**
+What are you thinking, Dave?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:56:52 - 1:56:53**
+You can make a roll if you want.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:56:59 - 1:57:00**
+.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:57:01 - 1:57:02**
+Even with a plus two?
+> Robin - PN :  **1:57:02 - 1:57:03**
+Or 29.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:57:34 - 1:57:36**
+God, I'd be good if I was sober.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:57:41 - 1:57:42**
+Ten years and counting.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:57:48 - 1:57:53**
+Twelve, actually. We drink decent stuff round here.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:57:53 - 1:57:54**
+Oh, yeah, sorry.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:57:58 - 1:58:08**
+I am going to have to get all of you guys, next time, Pete's in the country, together for a decent assault on my whisky collection.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:58:12 - 1:58:14**
+I can't get the telescope alignment.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:58:17 - 1:58:21**
+Gorgeously smoky, a little bit over the top.
+> Robin - PN :  **1:58:23 - 1:58:26**
+A little bit too peaty for my tastes, but hey, it's okay.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:58:27 - 1:58:35**
+Yeah, it's a very, very good example of what it tries to be.
+> Wolf - PB :  **1:58:40 - 1:58:46**
+For free, it's brilliant. Would I buy it? No.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:59:02 - 1:59:04**
+Are you still thinking?
+> Dave - DM :  **1:59:04 - 1:59:08**
+I'm reading something, because you're asking questions now that are outside mine.
+> Jestix - TE :  **1:59:18 - 1:59:25**
+You've gone slightly outside the box. It probably means we're not getting anywhere near the solution.
+> Fria - HT :  **1:59:26 - 1:59:30**
+Yeah. There is that, and Dave's trying to find a way of being nice to us.
+> Dave - DM :  **1:59:46 - 2:00:31**
+Some kind of evil outsider. This energy is being used to empower this illusion. And the demi-plane construct, for want of a better word.
+It's some kind of non-constructed maze, maybe?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:00:38 - 2:00:40**
+It's a whole dungeon.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:00:42 - 2:00:54**
+It doesn't think that it actually correlates to its topological location.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:00:55 - 2:01:21**
+Yeah. Okay, so basically this is a maze. It's a multi-dimensional maze.
+We are only seeing part of it, which is why we can't solve it. And therefore, we need someone to really work hard on this.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:01:21 - 2:01:34**
+And I think Amundstedt is probably slightly better, because he actually has knowledge of the planes, and I haven't yet got that.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:01:36 - 2:01:39**
+Yeah, he's pretty good. He's the second best thing.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:01:43 - 2:01:51**
+I've got knowledge arcana. I will have a damn good look round. With this kind of mindset.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:01:51 - 2:01:55**
+I'm assuring you, you've opened the door and you're looking out still.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:01:56 - 2:02:01**
+I tell everyone, if I start eating, hold me down.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:02:01 - 2:02:14**
+Well, Amundstedt's just outside. So the area outside, I assume, is no longer… Anti-magic, yeah.
+This whole area here is anti-magic to the moment. Yeah.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:02:18 - 2:02:21**
+If you start eating, grab me, drag me back, whatever.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:02:23 - 2:02:48**
+Let's think. So, what I figured out is, if we somehow… I mean, what Ham could do is, he could go back to the entranceway, drop the anti-magic field, cast a detect spell, analyse the boomer, or something like that.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:02:51 - 2:02:52**
+And you'll get the illusion?
+> Robin - PN :  **2:02:53 - 2:02:59**
+Well, no, I was trying to figure out the far end, but yes, the illusion's going to be in the way.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:03:01 - 2:03:12**
+It's a maze. A maze hides something. There's a multi-dimensional maze and it's hiding something.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:03:14 - 2:03:19**
+Unfortunately, if that's the case, we can't do anything about it. We can't get into the other dimensions.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:03:19 - 2:03:41**
+Well, Amnestus and I can have a chance. We're not very good at this, and it's very frustrating for you guys who just like to twunk stuff, but have you any extra-dimensional capacities or augmentations that may assist us?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:03:41 - 2:03:48**
+I don't think any of us have. That's the point. Even if you study it to your nth degree, you haven't got any way of getting into the other dimensions.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:03:48 - 2:03:55**
+Yeah, we do. How about, if we get a watch hook, we could see if there's a wending way in here.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:03:59 - 2:04:02**
+There's a wending way across this room.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:04:04 - 2:04:05**
+Yep.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:04:05 - 2:04:08**
+Well, there's no wending ways here, where you are now.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:04:09 - 2:04:17**
+Yeah. Because this is somewhere else. It's not this room is a maze.
+The entire complex is a maze.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:04:21 - 2:04:59**
+Amnestus doesn't think you're actually on the prime material plane as such. You're on a pinched-off demi-plane. Are we in a bit like the Red Saints prison?
+Yeah, something like that. Something must be powerful enough to create planes and realities and stuff. Something is creating that, and World Weaver does talk about the elemental engine, I think it was called.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:04:59 - 2:05:08**
+Okay. Gentlemen, could you wait one minute whilst Amnestus and I study this?
+> Robin - PN :  **2:05:11 - 2:05:12**
+Oh, yeah.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:05:12 - 2:05:28**
+Ladies and gentlemen, as you are now, is it possible to teleport out of here? No. No.
+We have to go all the way back out before we can teleport?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:05:28 - 2:05:36**
+We have to go back to the other side of the Hunger Room before we can wend out to anything else.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:05:39 - 2:05:51**
+I would like to spend some time looking at... You might be able to use Gate, but you certainly couldn't use Teleport. Okay.
+I would like to spend some time looking at World Weaver's notes in the Red Saints prison.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:05:52 - 2:06:03**
+Now, I might take a week to do so, so you guys might have to have a fine lunch outside or a week in a dojo.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:06:04 - 2:06:05**
+Shall we do some research?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:06:05 - 2:06:08**
+You spend a week in there, that's ten minutes for us.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:06:09 - 2:06:09**
+Exactly.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:06:10 - 2:06:12**
+Sorry, time for a fine lunch.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:06:13 - 2:06:27**
+Yeah. Do you wish to come and join us in the dojo or join us while we study possibly for a week in the Red Saints prison?
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:06:27 - 2:06:28**
+God no, says a dwarf.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:06:29 - 2:06:39**
+In which case, here is the last of my cheese and cognac, which I couldn't finish. Okay, so you're going to leave.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:06:39 - 2:06:40**
+That's your plan, yeah?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:06:41 - 2:06:48**
+Amonsters and I will be back here in ten minutes time, or seven minutes time, as in a week.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:06:49 - 2:06:53**
+Well, I have to take you there, because we have to wend you there.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:06:53 - 2:07:03**
+Do we have to wend? Oh, even if we walk out to the edge and then I can teleport?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:07:04 - 2:07:08**
+I'm happy for you to wend us, but if I teleport...
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:07:08 - 2:07:14**
+I'll wend you, it's easy. Reset my spells. Because then we can all be outside the entrance waiting for you.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:07:14 - 2:07:22**
+Yes. Okay, so we all go there, and then I will effectively reset my spells.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:07:22 - 2:07:29**
+I will go in as well, because A. I want to reset my spells, but I also want to experiment.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:07:33 - 2:07:51**
+Okay, I can't see any reason why you can't just be there. That Robban, by the way, seems to be so mysterious, you haven't seen him for a little while.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:07:54 - 2:08:00**
+Oh, Robban, come on. So show up and we can help you.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:08:01 - 2:08:07**
+You want to see something fun? I'll be there soon.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:08:10 - 2:08:12**
+We will be there soon.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:08:12 - 2:08:22**
+Oh, I was getting bored. Have you ever been to the Red Saints' prison? I can't say that I have.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:08:22 - 2:08:36**
+Okay, time in there moves differently, so you have... Anything you want to do takes a long, long time. You do it there, and it takes no time at all in real life.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:08:36 - 2:08:52**
+So you can go there, study for a week, and come back in seven minutes. Oh, yeah, I can't say that I'm really interested in being closeted away for an entire week.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:08:53 - 2:08:57**
+Or you can share some ale with me, says Wolf.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:08:58 - 2:09:07**
+Yes, I will leave my supplies of cognac and cheese for you, for anyone who stays.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:09:07 - 2:09:10**
+This cheese looks like it's been nibbled by Robban.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:09:10 - 2:09:41**
+Yeah, I ate as much as I could. It made me nearly sick. It's a fantastic cheese.
+I was keeping it so we could bribe Piven, who is the high-level Manchic user. But, yeah, I ate it. So here you go, guys.
+Cheese, my brandy, and, oh, I had these rations. Enjoy. We'll be back in a few minutes.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:09:43 - 2:09:44**
+Right, a beer sounds better.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:09:49 - 2:09:53**
+Break out the beers. Amongst those who are left, I didn't want a beer.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:09:58 - 2:10:02**
+We study Worldweaver's notes diligently.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:10:03 - 2:10:32**
+Okay. What you find is that you can use the Elemental Engine to change reality and create planes and mirror versions of the world. So if you have access to the Elemental Engine, you could probably do this.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:10:33 - 2:10:37**
+Excellent. So someone with access to the Elemental Engine...
+> Dave - DM :  **2:10:37 - 2:10:48**
+And it doesn't take very long to realize that probably the Red Saints Prison was created with it. Absolutely. The Red Saints Prison is exactly the same thing.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:10:48 - 2:11:02**
+But how do we effectively break out of the construct? How do we do a matrix moment where...
+> Dave - DM :  **2:11:02 - 2:11:04**
+You have to have access to it.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:11:06 - 2:11:08**
+How do we gain access to the construct?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:11:08 - 2:11:27**
+But Amonstadt doesn't actually think that... Although the thing was constructed with the engine, he doesn't think that's what's powering it. He thinks that some extra outsider...
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:11:27 - 2:11:30**
+Yeah, as you said before, some outsider is powering the illusion.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:11:30 - 2:11:34**
+Yeah, it's somehow making it do this.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:11:35 - 2:11:42**
+Do we think that the outsider is that dead god? Because that still had some sort of residual weirdness, didn't it?
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:11:42 - 2:11:45**
+Or do we think it's a bit more power, like Rivendick or something?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:11:47 - 2:11:48**
+Well, it's probably not Rivendick because it's...
+> Dave - DM :  **2:11:48 - 2:12:00**
+After a week searching through the notes, Amonstadt and you suspect that it might actually be powering the Elemental Engine.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:12:02 - 2:12:08**
+This is powering... No, no, no. The outsider thing is powering the Elemental Engine.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:12:08 - 2:12:11**
+No, no, no. The dead gods might be...
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:12:12 - 2:12:13**
+Powering the Elemental Engine.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:12:16 - 2:12:20**
+And do we know a way of turning off such power?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:12:22 - 2:12:35**
+The book doesn't give you... Just hints at... It's more like...
+Wouldn't it be cool if we were to do this with it? That sort of stuff.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:12:36 - 2:12:39**
+It doesn't tell you how to do it. We have this thought. Can we do this?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:12:41 - 2:13:04**
+Yeah. I mean, it does talk... I mean, it's more about World Weaver's travels across dimensions, and the crazy places he has been in the universe.
+Like the two-dimensional reality where he found his own self as a card.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:13:06 - 2:13:16**
+X and Y. OK. So we can try to disconnect or save the anguished god.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:13:17 - 2:13:44**
+What basically the book is saying is almost heresy. It's actually saying that your reality with planes and gods isn't the only thing. There's actually other realities outside that.
+With other gods and other versions of reality.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:13:44 - 2:13:48**
+Wacky. Yeah. But jinx in all of them, eh?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:13:50 - 2:13:51**
+You can believe that.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:13:52 - 2:13:53**
+I should call it dark matter.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:13:56 - 2:14:21**
+Yeah. So Amistad thinks that if you add access to the elemental engine, and you knew how to use it, yes, you could do what you want. The other option is to find whichever being is making it do this and stop them.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:14:23 - 2:14:30**
+Do we think that the being that is powering the illusion is the same being that is powering the elemental engine?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:14:31 - 2:14:31**
+No.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:14:32 - 2:14:34**
+It's the god powering the elemental engine.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:14:36 - 2:14:48**
+Amistad thinks that it's some kind of extra planar negative energy.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:14:50 - 2:14:50**
+Outsider.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:14:53 - 2:14:57**
+So it's a vampire, extra planar vampire.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:14:59 - 2:15:02**
+Something negative energy.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:15:03 - 2:15:08**
+Which may or may not be in the room, but because it's on a different plane we can't see it.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:15:08 - 2:15:13**
+This room has a connection to it, so we could try to summon it.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:15:22 - 2:15:30**
+If we were to summon it and kick the shit out of it until it decided to tell us what was going on.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:15:31 - 2:15:32**
+Or it decided to leave.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:15:33 - 2:15:45**
+Does Ahem know, have any idea of the power level requirement for such a creature? To give you a more specific question, does he think it's 16 hit dice or less?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:15:47 - 2:15:47**
+No.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:15:48 - 2:15:50**
+It used to have to be a lot more than that.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:15:51 - 2:15:54**
+Is powering the illusion permanently? No.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:15:55 - 2:15:58**
+In it's spare time.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:16:02 - 2:16:06**
+And it might want to be released from it's servitude, but unless we can actually...
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:16:08 - 2:16:11**
+We don't know where it is, who it is, what it is.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:16:11 - 2:16:16**
+Is there any way of summoning or contacting such a creature?
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:16:17 - 2:16:18**
+Gate, maybe.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:16:19 - 2:16:21**
+That's what I was thinking.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:16:21 - 2:16:23**
+We'd need to know what it is to do that.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:16:26 - 2:16:33**
+A greater summoning thing, but that's only 16 hit dice. Or 18 hit dice maybe.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:16:34 - 2:16:39**
+No indication of a name of a creature that might do this? No.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:16:42 - 2:16:43**
+It's a vampire.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:16:45 - 2:16:47**
+That still does not get us anywhere.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:16:47 - 2:16:51**
+Not Serati obviously. On the outside of this...
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:16:51 - 2:16:53**
+It doesn't get us any closer to getting the sigil though.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:16:53 - 2:17:18**
+No, but it might be... If he is trapped and if we release him or kill him, because that's what we had to do with the giant. We had to kill the giant because the sigil was underneath him.
+So potentially the outer planar thing either has the sigil or is the sigil.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:17:19 - 2:17:23**
+Where was all the graffiti, Dave?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:17:23 - 2:17:25**
+Was it just outside the Halls of Hunger?
+> Fria - HT :  **2:17:26 - 2:17:29**
+Or was it a bit further in?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:17:29 - 2:17:33**
+It's that room or the other one. I can't remember exactly which one, but it's one of those rooms.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:17:36 - 2:17:40**
+Once we've done enough study, I will pop back out.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:17:41 - 2:17:44**
+It was either that room or it's this room.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:17:46 - 2:17:51**
+Before we pop out, I want to do some stuff in this Red Saints prison.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:17:51 - 2:17:52**
+What do you want to do?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:17:53 - 2:18:09**
+I want to try and improve my vestment of resistance. Just sidetracking everything completely. I was going to do it last time and then forgot.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:18:15 - 2:18:17**
+Are you Wendy's back?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:18:17 - 2:18:18**
+Not yet, wait.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:18:18 - 2:18:30**
+No, when we're done. I'm just doing my admin. Or do I need to knock off a teleport?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:18:31 - 2:18:31**
+No, I'm Wendy's back.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:18:34 - 2:18:40**
+Theastics is doing this while you're doing your research. So was this your vestment, Druid?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:18:41 - 2:18:43**
+No, my vestment of resistance.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:18:46 - 2:18:48**
+Okay, so you've put resistance on it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:18:49 - 2:18:58**
+No, it's a thing in the expanded magic item list. It was originally a cloak of resistance.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:18:59 - 2:18:59**
+Okay.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:19:00 - 2:19:04**
+But I made it as a vestment of resistance rather than cloak of resistance.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:19:05 - 2:19:06**
+Okay, what level is it currently?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:19:06 - 2:19:07**
+It's plus four.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:19:08 - 2:19:10**
+Okay, and so you're trying to make it plus five.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:19:11 - 2:19:16**
+Yeah, which I think is an extra 20,000.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:19:17 - 2:19:20**
+Giving yourself a week? Yes, you do it.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:19:21 - 2:19:24**
+Well, there's two things I want to do, is that. And I want to see if I can do a fifth item.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:19:25 - 2:19:26**
+Fifth item?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:19:27 - 2:19:27**
+Yes.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:19:38 - 2:19:52**
+I'm going to answer that next week. Okay. It won't matter this week.
+But you can tell me what it is. You can either private message me or tell everyone.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:19:52 - 2:19:59**
+Yeah, I want to see if I can create a replacement gloves of dexterity.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:20:00 - 2:20:05**
+Okay. So you want better gloves of dexterity?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:20:05 - 2:20:16**
+Well, initially I want to go for the same ones I've got now. Because I don't know whether I can do a fifth item. So rather than try and do something better, go for what I've got.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:20:16 - 2:20:31**
+I understand what you're trying to do. Right, okay. I'll think about it over the week.
+So, you pop back, and I assume you turn up back in this room here.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:20:32 - 2:20:36**
+Yeah. Oh, golly, that cheese didn't last long, gentlemen.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:20:40 - 2:20:48**
+You'll probably find it lasted very well. They were just drinking beer. That was quick.
+Yeah, I told you it was a very few minutes.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:20:51 - 2:21:02**
+Gestics needs a head shave and a beard shave. I cast a prestidigitation to make him look better.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:21:04 - 2:21:24**
+There is one other thing I did while I was in there. I finished reading the book of spells. Spells?
+There's a book we picked up ages ago. Learn a spell from other school book.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:21:25 - 2:21:26**
+Okay.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:21:27 - 2:21:36**
+I haven't decided what spell I'm going to take yet. I've been ticking up time slowly on it whenever we go into Red Saints Prison. I finally got to the 56 hours needed.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:21:38 - 2:21:41**
+Okay. So you can learn a different spell from another spell list.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:21:41 - 2:21:41**
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:21:42 - 2:21:43**
+No problem.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:21:44 - 2:22:08**
+Okay. With our newfound knowledge and skill, we examine this chamber. And see if we can find the link that might reveal how we can talk to someone or otherwise disconnect the extra planar outsider.
+Okay.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:22:08 - 2:22:13**
+The chamber you're currently in which has a niche.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:22:13 - 2:22:14**
+Oh yes.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:22:15 - 2:22:24**
+Yeah. To Amun. Is it Amun?
+No, no, no. Something like that, isn't it?
+> Fria - HT :  **2:22:25 - 2:22:26**
+The anguished god.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:22:27 - 2:22:29**
+Yes. The god who's being anguished.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:22:29 - 2:22:30**
+Yes.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:22:32 - 2:22:39**
+But Amun-Stut thinks that this isn't really a temple shrine.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:22:39 - 2:22:42**
+No. No, it's a torture chamber.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:22:42 - 2:22:51**
+No. It's more of a... It's more of a...
+A shrine set up by people who don't really believe.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:22:56 - 2:22:57**
+So it's a Christian church.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:22:58 - 2:23:05**
+It's a... It's a gone through the thing because they think it should have been done.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:23:07 - 2:23:12**
+Not... Yeah. It's doing the motions and not actually believing any of it.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:23:12 - 2:23:18**
+Yeah. And it says I-A-M-O-N in large letters on the far wall.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:23:20 - 2:23:30**
+I-A-M-O-N. Yeah. So there's no love for Amun here.
+There's no...
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:23:30 - 2:23:34**
+No. Well, they're torturing him just down the corridor so there's apparently not being any love for him.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:23:34 - 2:23:42**
+A shattered foundation of an altar stone, above it engraved in large letters spells the word Amun.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:23:43 - 2:23:50**
+Okay. Is Amun the right thing or have they reorganised his letters just to torture him?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:23:51 - 2:24:08**
+No. Amun-Stut is vaguely, I think, knows... Back in the time of gods basically being the only thing.
+Who died.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:24:10 - 2:24:13**
+Okay. That's not... What?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:24:15 - 2:24:18**
+Well, can gods die, says Amun.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:24:18 - 2:24:19**
+I don't know.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:24:20 - 2:24:21**
+Legend says he did.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:24:23 - 2:24:24**
+We've got some kind of...
+> Dave - DM :  **2:24:24 - 2:24:26**
+There seems to be a big fucking thing in there.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:24:26 - 2:24:31**
+Have we got manacles that can bow, bite or go on to him?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:24:31 - 2:24:35**
+If it's dead, how's it powering the engine?
+> Fria - HT :  **2:24:37 - 2:24:40**
+Not dead, just a...
+> Dave - DM :  **2:24:40 - 2:24:44**
+It might not be the god itself anyway, it may be the memory of the god.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:24:45 - 2:24:45**
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:24:45 - 2:24:53**
+Or something even more abstract. Gods have avatars that live on and you can find god blood as well.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:24:59 - 2:25:42**
+That's not a thought you want to give to Freya. Okay. Two things.
+We can trace the source of the magic back and see if we can understand it more. Although that doesn't necessarily mean that we'll actually manage to solve the puzzle. But think of it as a maze.
+We might get another view upon the maze. We might get the bird's eye view of the maze, which solves it. Or we might be able to try to free the god Amun.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:25:43 - 2:25:51**
+I don't think we're hoping to free the god Amun. When we went into the room, it was not very pleasant.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:25:52 - 2:26:05**
+The hope of the hell are definitely strong words in that sentence. I might agree, but we could do something if we want to get further through this.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:26:08 - 2:26:13**
+I think we should focus on the first of your options, if those are the two options.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:26:14 - 2:26:21**
+Those are the two options that occur to me now. There must be more than those. Okay.
+So.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:26:21 - 2:26:35**
+The power is being drawn from somewhere like a vortex. We have spent a happy week studying said vortex.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:26:36 - 2:26:55**
+Or the theory of. I will now look again at that. And see if there's a way in which we could disconnect or summon the person from whom the power is being extracted.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:26:59 - 2:27:01**
+Not without knowing who.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:27:03 - 2:27:05**
+How would we know who?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:27:08 - 2:27:11**
+Well, unless it's scribbled on the wall here somewhere.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:27:12 - 2:27:57**
+This is why I was going outside to look at the scribbles. I looked at all of the scribbles, looking for the most inane, that might give us any clue. Lots of the scribbles have given us lots of clues, like the cake is an illusion or whatever.
+Okay. So the scribblings. Right.
+Turn back now is written in very large straw.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:27:57 - 2:27:58**
+Very fair.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:28:00 - 2:28:02**
+Should have asked Bishwa.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:28:04 - 2:28:05**
+Who is Bishwa?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:28:07 - 2:28:34**
+It doesn't say. Ancient Indian god. Yeah.
+Sorry, I'm actually pronouncing it wrong. It's Bishwa. Not that it will help you.
+You have met this individual, by the way. You may want to think of why you might have met him. We tried it all or did we miss something?
+The hunger is too much to bear.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:28:42 - 2:28:44**
+How do you spell Bishwa?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:28:45 - 2:28:54**
+B-I-S-H-W-A-R. Bishwa? Bishwa?
+> Robin - PN :  **2:28:54 - 2:28:55**
+Bishwa.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:28:56 - 2:29:17**
+That's what I thought it said. Elodie needs to have the flame. One would seem enough.
+It's not the cursed chambers, surely it's the feasting. B-I-S-H? B-I-S-H?
+> Robin - PN :  **2:29:18 - 2:29:21**
+B-I-R-S-H-W-A-R.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:29:25 - 2:29:31**
+Mirrors! Twelve signals, twelve sides, what of twelve?
+> Fria - HT :  **2:29:33 - 2:29:38**
+Ah, we need twelve of my mirrors. I was bloody close with one mirror.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:29:40 - 2:30:15**
+Well, no, there's one big thing saying mirrors! And then in pledge to that it's got twelve signals, twelve sides, what of twelve? Another statement.
+It's more than hunger, it's our very souls. Yet to sate it gives back to us that which we have lost. Another close that.
+Do not eat! For the love of all you hold dear, do not eat!
+> Fria - HT :  **2:30:19 - 2:30:30**
+Do we eat, do we not eat? It gives us back our own souls. Yeah.
+So, if you eat you're locked in a cycle of pleasure.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:30:30 - 2:30:51**
+You probably have forgotten, but it was probably 60 odd days ago you were here. I'm not 100% sure how many days ago it was. There were, I think somebody was partially emaciated here.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:30:52 - 2:30:53**
+Yes.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:30:53 - 2:30:54**
+Going mad.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:30:55 - 2:31:12**
+Yes, they ate all they could eat and more, but they didn't actually consume any of it, as demonstrated by Freya eating the cheese and not getting fat. This is your perfect Weight Watchers room.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:31:16 - 2:31:21**
+What can I say, it just never actually settles on the hips.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:31:23 - 2:31:31**
+Do you know what? I did a quick Google search for bourgeois and come up with your notes.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:31:33 - 2:31:41**
+My notes? Not your notes, our notes as it were, because it's on tenoire.com. Wow.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:31:46 - 2:31:51**
+That's interesting because I thought I put a no robot on there, so it shouldn't have been indexing it.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:31:53 - 2:31:56**
+Yeah, no one believes in no robots anymore.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:31:57 - 2:32:12**
+Greetings friends of Metarack to this hall. Know that he welcomes into his friends only those most fitting. He pauses, this is the half dragon.
+In his chamber and those beyond he gives an opportunity to prove yourself worthy.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:32:13 - 2:32:35**
+Present yourselves now. Beyond he buffs up an immediate far, Freya too. The half dragon tells us created temples in Metarack's name.
+He is bourgeois. He mistakenly announced the sigil locations by building temples near the sigils, but they were supposed to be hard to find and he's being punished.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:32:37 - 2:32:44**
+You may remember that there were several temples to Metarack where there were sigils that you found?
+> Fria - HT :  **2:32:44 - 2:32:50**
+Yeah, yeah. Are my notes online?
+> Robin - PN :  **2:32:51 - 2:32:51**
+Yeah.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:32:52 - 2:33:08**
+Slightly worried by that. I have a big dog who's very affectionate right now. Aww.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:33:16 - 2:33:18**
+He's fourteen tomorrow.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:33:20 - 2:33:22**
+Bless. Is that my old?
+> Fria - HT :  **2:33:24 - 2:33:29**
+For a big dog he's done at least five years more than I expected.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:33:32 - 2:33:34**
+Oh, it's the audio thing.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:33:38 - 2:33:42**
+I know, session 182, 3rd of April, 24.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:33:42 - 2:33:44**
+It's got my text.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:33:44 - 2:33:46**
+Oh yeah, this is your text, yeah.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:33:49 - 2:33:51**
+I haven't gone back that far yet.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:33:56 - 2:34:03**
+God, I should stop typing so much. Particularly all of Tim's anti-Trump statements.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:34:04 - 2:34:05**
+Yeah.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:34:22 - 2:34:26**
+So, are we puzzled and we need a week to think about it?
+> Fria - HT :  **2:34:27 - 2:34:40**
+I'm puzzled, I'm not sure I'm going to help. A week will help, but yeah. Try and blast the shit out of it, but calling it there might be the best move.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:34:44 - 2:34:47**
+What does a birch wall have to do with a piece of fish?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:34:49 - 2:34:53**
+The first room you went into here.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:34:54 - 2:34:56**
+Had a fire in it or something.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:34:59 - 2:35:02**
+He was there, I think.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:35:03 - 2:35:09**
+Yes, he was the dragon in the middle. But isn't it all got the fire in it?
+> Robin - PN :  **2:35:10 - 2:35:11**
+Yeah.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:35:15 - 2:35:17**
+She was the only one unaffected by the fire.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:35:18 - 2:35:18**
+Yeah.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:35:20 - 2:35:24**
+Was the birch wall an illusion?
+> Dave - DM :  **2:35:25 - 2:35:26**
+No, he was really there.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:35:30 - 2:35:34**
+But this dragon is an illusion.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:35:37 - 2:35:41**
+What might be an illusion or what might be a projection of a real dragon.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:35:46 - 2:35:53**
+Maybe those immune, similarly those immune are the ones who get passed.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:35:53 - 2:35:58**
+Well, we tried that a bit with the anti-magic and it didn't seem to work.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:36:05 - 2:36:06**
+Difficult.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:36:09 - 2:36:11**
+Think on it.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:36:12 - 2:36:18**
+If you remember the first time you went through the door, you ended up in a different part of Dragonstealth.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:36:19 - 2:36:41**
+Yes, so all these places are somewhere in Dragonstealth. Maybe. No, maybe about it because the previous room, Dave made a comment that he thought we'd found it before.
+Which means it's off one of the levels we've already done, even though we didn't find it.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:36:46 - 2:36:48**
+What, the one with the sarcophagi?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:36:49 - 2:36:49**
+Yes.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:36:52 - 2:36:53**
+Where do we think that was?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:36:53 - 2:36:56**
+We have no idea, but Dave thought we'd already found it.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:36:57 - 2:37:00**
+I see, so that's a bit of a meta.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:37:00 - 2:37:01**
+Yes.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:37:01 - 2:37:04**
+Player way of looking at it rather than character.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:37:04 - 2:37:31**
+Yes. But we know that the other ones are taking us to places in the Dull, and it makes sense given that this is where Metafact is and he's the one who's scattered them about. So that room may be somewhere else in the dungeon, and if we can find it somewhere else in the dungeon we'll be able to do something from the outside.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:37:41 - 2:37:43**
+Maybe, but it could be fucking anywhere.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:37:43 - 2:37:52**
+It could, and I was looking at the maps. There are a couple of places where there are things that we haven't done, not many though.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:37:55 - 2:37:55**
+You're pretty consistent.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:37:58 - 2:38:01**
+It's raided everywhere almost that can be raided.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:38:01 - 2:38:23**
+Yes, but as I said before, we haven't been to the Hidden City. We're at an impasse yet then, we haven't got enough information.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:38:25 - 2:38:37**
+Well we could try out one of the information, the verdicts or the other head that answers questions sometimes.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:38:37 - 2:38:39**
+The scribe, yes, the scribe of the head.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:38:40 - 2:38:41**
+Or the scribe, yes, he knows.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:38:42 - 2:38:49**
+So shall we retire to Braidix, give Dave a week and call it? Yes.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:38:50 - 2:38:57**
+We can try Braidix, but he gets grumpy when he asks questions, so we might want to go back to the scribe.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:38:58 - 2:39:07**
+Ok, so you wend your way to the level with the temple stroke verdicts on.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:39:10 - 2:39:13**
+That's where the demons were quizzing.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:39:13 - 2:39:26**
+The demon quizzing said, well if you want to go talk to that, and we'll worry about, where is the wending way in there, can't remember at the moment. There's one in the temple isn't there.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:39:26 - 2:39:35**
+I can teleport. Yeah, I think there's one in the temple. I'm fully charged, I just blat everyone over there in two or three rounds.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:39:38 - 2:39:46**
+I'll tell you I've updated this map haven't I, let's see what's on here. There is definitely one on this level, so it's not too much of a problem.
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:39:47 - 2:39:50**
+Well, if you look at the other map.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:40:06 - 2:40:07**
+The map map?
+> Jestix - TE :  **2:40:08 - 2:40:12**
+Yes, that should give you a real number.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:40:14 - 2:40:24**
+So you've got 197 and 214 and 200 something. So there's three on that level.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:40:26 - 2:40:48**
+That's true. We can get in and out. I've got some well known teleport locations, there's even a temple.
+We just have to go to any of the temples and we can womp into the temple complex.
+> Dave - DM :  **2:40:49 - 2:41:04**
+Yeah, okay, so you retire back to what was the sprawl of the demon liege, but it is now recovering. And we'll leave it there.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:41:04 - 2:41:08**
+Okay, we should look for questions from Radix.
+> Robin - PN :  **2:41:10 - 2:41:11**
+Or answers from Radix.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:41:12 - 2:41:15**
+It's not going to happen, but it's well worth it.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:41:16 - 2:41:17**
+Which is helpful.
+> Fria - HT :  **2:41:18 - 2:41:19**
+It is very helpful.
+> Wolf - PB :  **2:41:20 - 2:41:21**
+Oh dear, sorry.
