Ep. 4: Here There Be Gerblins - Chapter Four

"Double, double, toil and trouble. We're cooking up a fresh batch of danger for you this week in... The Adventure Zone!"

Synopsis
''After solving a particularly difficult jelly puzzle, our heroes journey ever deeper into Wave Echo Cave. Taako meets a kindred spirit, Merle does some missionary work and Magnus does some really cool stuff with some chains.''

The episode begins! It's goof time until Taako has the gumption to just up and head out into the heart of Wave Echo Cave.

Check out 1:00-2:00 in this youtube video.
The gang walks out, chatting. After reminiscing about killing Yeemick, they come to a room with a giant grinding machine on top of a sturdy floor grate. About 8 feet up there is a wooden ledge, and across the room there's a ladder leading to a door from the wooden ledge.

The door is kicked open by a young orc woman who is holding the biggest crossbow anyone's ever seen. She points the crossbow at the gang while trying to figure out why other people are in the cave.

Merle tries to witness to her, and it doesn't work so well.

She asks if they gang is in the cave for the [static], and they say, "...No?" She pulls out a gameshow button and zaps the crusher in the center of the room, which animates, and then skedaddles out of the room, taking the ladder with her.

Grinder Fight!
The gang rolls initiative against the piece of mining equipment. Taako casts Thunderwave, causing 32 points of damage, and it looks very sweet.

Magnus takes his chains, as many as he can carry, and hefts them into the grinder. It gums up the works and the machine tears itself up from the inside out.

Taako makes a perception check to see if he understands ground beef. It almost works: he understands the concept of grinding, but not ground beef.

Magnus takes a chain with him.

It's time for some High Advenutre.
