Session 61: The Party Purchases Party Provisions Prior to Parting (September 19, 2024)
- We zoom back in to the van
- Arcane garbage flies around with every bump
- Battery runs dutifully and ceaselessly, drinking from a hamster water bottle occasionally
- Opal hands Harold a blood transfusion, he’s AB so he can accept any blood
- He heals 1
- Don is excited about the coming quest
- Opal needs to choose her words wisely to not make it seem immoral
- Our seats rotate, and Opal shows us a hologram of a train
- “This is the choo choo. It’s a new invention by the Random Empire Whose Name I Haven’t Come Up With Yet”
- Designed to transport goods from city to city
- Well armored physically and magically
- Hull can’t be targeted by spells, you can’t teleport inside of it, and when it’s fully sealed, there’s no way to get in
- It will do a transport run in 3 days time
- Reptar wants to know if there’s ice cream inside
- He’s still pretty fixated on that
- We need to get inside the choo choo
- If we cast a spell inside, it will affect the whole thing
- The choo choo is just an engine pulling cars behind it
- We need to steal the choo choo before it’s fully sealed and walk out the door
with it
- It will obviously be difficult to lift
- Opal takes out a scroll
- We need to break into the facility where the choo choo is stored and use the scroll from within the choo choo
- Harold can tell it’s a scroll of Enlarge/Reduce
- But more powerful
- A scroll of Extreme Enlarge/Reduce
- Normal spell times 4
- It’s written in crayon
- Harold can see a similar crayon hanging out of Wet Sock’s pocket
- The choo choo weighs 400,000 lbs
- Reducing the weight by 1/8 four times results in around 100 pounds
- Don asks if we should be inside the train after it’s cast
- We need to get out quick or be crushed
- There’s a delay (18 seconds exactly)
- Opal starts drawing a map using the crayon in Wet Sock’s pocket
- It’s a large square lot surrounded by barbed wire
- Guards are posted at the entrance inside
- Two large hanger-like buildings, with the choo choo in one
- Opal totally did her research, she’s the best of the best
- Reptar suggests incapacitating the guards
- And also potentially create a distraction
- We need to do this before tomorrow afternoon
- We’re at the supply shop
- The van flips onto its side as it tries to park
- Battery says he’s injured
- Asks for something from the store to help him
- Says he’s from another universe called Perrinor
- Sounds boring
- Fantasy Five Below
- We go inside
- Absolutely filled with children
