S151 Recap: “Okay.” | Ep94: Just a LEETLE legume

General Summary

Let's pick up where we left off, shall we? > #Rock'sFellNobodyDied (Nobody important anyways lol) > #CaspaTheFriendlyGhost is also here! > He does not remember any of you bitches. This is distressing to some bitches. Especially the heinous ones. Of the albatross variety. > #WeSellAngstHereSir > After some emotional back and forth, a lot of cheap shots on my end (>:3), and the mild soul-ification of Caspadin's sword, I hit Kirin with the same “Okay” Caspadin said before deciding to sacrifice himself and we start #♪MakinOurWay♪ to the main road so Caspadin can take us to the actual Grim of The Forbidden Graveyard. > Except now Algos has come for Moth so Isati is from this point forward very distracted by a conversation with The Fallen Exile > #TheEvilsOfTheHeadache > Okay Serenas please roll your nat20 perception check. You did? Aight sick, thanks > #CritCount1, #GoodCrits1, #BadCrits0, #FinalCritCount > So on that check y'all see two things of note: the first is that just about everything in the graveyard avoids #CaspaTheFriendlyGhost and the second is that the ex girlfriends are pettily signing in the faces of each other in RSL with their mage hands > #PDA #PassiveDisplaysOfAgression > (oh yeah what they were talking about was Aravin threatening Kirin not to get in the way of her plans to revive Caspadin and Kirin interrogating Aravin about letting Caspadin make an informed decision) > #NormalConversationsBetweenExes > We now take a rest, both because the gang is a lil fucked up from the last fight, and because I've decided I don't want to move the plot forward because that would interrupt Isati's conversation > #AndThatWouldJustBeRude > It is during this rest that Romad as an idea. A most wonderful idea of the greatest degree. Casting detect evil and good in a graveyard full of undead :D (and also the graveyard itself is an extremely powerful entity in its own right that is both sacred and heretical to its very core. Mostly Heretical.) > #NothingBadCouldComeOfThis > And Nothing Did! > /SMASH CUT/ > “And in the distance you see a massive black cloud of shrouded darkness and a flood of cacaphonous fey—“ “Oh I wonder if that's Jeremiah!” > #OopsieTooFar #TakeItBackNowY'all #Rewind > “Romad it was brief, but there was this one thing you noticed– a fey creature just at the edge of your detection radius that disappeared” > #PauseForComedicEffect (#Pausing) > “I'm Gonna Follow It.” > #SteveIrwinMoments > It's a Fir Darrig. You knew this. I knew this. We ALL knew this. > #ReturnOfTheRatBois > In fact it's a lot of them. And it doesn't take long for them to realize and capitalize on the fact that #Sevendipity & Co. are for once NOT slaughtering them on sight >:3 > #WeAreSoBack >

> you must imagine the worst barbershop quartet you can ever imagine singing this song on loop for the entire time, accompanied by Serenas & Nova playing their songs of rest > #MusicMakesEverythingSoMuch #EndOfSentence > BUT WAIT WHAT'S THIS‽‽ IT'S A STEALTHING FIR DARRIG?! AND 'ITS GOT THE PEA OF ROYAL SENSITIVIES!!! AND NOVA HAS PUNTED THE FIR DARRIG INTO THE ATMOSPHERE!!!!!!!!!! > #Justa_LeetleLegume #ItRETURNS #NobodyTouchThat > Serenas upon finishing up his Song of Rest shift takes to discussing macabre recipes with the fir darrigs > #ReadingFaerieRecipesDoesn'tCountRight? #Right? #ItDoesn'tCountAsAcceptingFaerieFoodRight? > At some point this becomes a full on theatrical reenactment of the time Serenas brought a fresh kill to the dinner table after a hunt > Serenas (glancing behind him): “Actually my father was more disgusted than disappointed and my mother was more entertained than dramatic” > Fir Darrig (on a dwarven folding chair, wearing Vul–Can® designer sunglasses, and a newsie hat; shouting into a newspaper that's been rolled into a cone): “YOU'RE ALL FIRED YOU TALENTLESS HACKS!!!” > #It'saCutthroatIndustryAndYouDidn'tMakeTheCut > Speaking of cut throats— ITS THE ORIGINAL TRIO OF FIR DARRIGS WE MET ALL THE WAY BACK IN SESSION 4! (Well... two and a half of the original trio lol) > ♪Rats, Rats, Rats~ Rats Ratly Rats Rats♪ > MEANWHILE! Two rat bois are huddled in the corner of the rest stop, failing to whisper covertly: “Where's Jerimiah‽” “WHO'S JEREMIAH??” “I DON'T KNOW! IT'S NOT LIKE WE USE NAMES! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!” “oh yeah.” “Yeah I dunnyo what's taking em so long.” > #ThisSurelyCanOnlyEndInGoodThings,No? #No. > It starts with a whispering chant. And then you feel the drumming carried thru the grave soil beneath your feet. Then It Turns The Corner. > “And in the distance you see a massive black cloud of shrouded darkness and a flood of cacaphonous fey—“ “Oh I wonder if that's Jeremiah!” > #ItIs #ItIsJeremiah > It Is Also A Cacophonous Marching Band of 13 × 4 Fir Darrigs Leading A Massive Murder Of Haunted Crows That Themselves Are A Cacaphonous Force In Their Own Right. > And The Chanting. THE CHANTING.

> Okay yeah this is A Problem™ > Romad: “Nah I got this, checkit!” > BANISHMENT! > He do kinda Got This¹ > (1. Having This™ required the aid of literally just about every member of the party.) > #TeamEffort > Serenas hit the rat bois with some #CuttingWords, Corayas provided some bardic inspiration in lack of his bend luck, Nova was squared up, and Kirin... > Well Kirin made A Choice. Not even necessarily a Bad Choice™. But a Choice nonetheless. > #GetOnWithItAlready! > “Okay Kirin, you can either #LetTheChaosIn, or you can resist and have to roll against a much higher DC.” > “........................” “Fuck it.” > #ChooseChaos > With the help of Corayas's bardic inspiration Kirin gets us to the exact number we needed. And I need to state that that has been the case with every single one of y'all's rolls in this incident. Every single roll was the bare minumum it could've been to successfully banish these bitches. > “And so the ring of rose vines encircles the Cacophonous Horde, opening a gate to the realm of the wilds. But it alone is not enough— for the vines begin to snap under the onslaught of the horde” > BUT WAIT WHAT'S THIS‽‽ IT'S KIRIN?! AND SHE'S GOT THE CHAOS SHE LET IN!!! AND OH FUCK ITS ACTUALLY THE INKCAT IN CONTROL AND SHE'S GONE ANTI–PARTY!!!!!!!!!! > #BackToRealityOopsThereGoesSanity > OKAY IT'S LITERALLY SESSION TIME NOW LOL SO I'LL JOIN CALL IN A SEC
