[Music]0:38
this Runequest campaign the epic of the White Bull you know i give it something different
0:44
about the White Bull pretty much every time but it’s some sort of i think it’s basically the White Bull campaign
0:50
anyways i’m Jeff Richard i’m your gm tonight’s a super short uh session but it’s our priests
0:57
christmas uh super short session you can see Linda’s christmas tree in the back there
1:06
awesome um okay so if you guys remember last session you all decided uh or more importantly
1:14
Enkala decided that she wanted to go to the spider temple in the uh the
1:22
uh left at the end of the left arm of Boldhome and if i recall uh
1:29
it was you a Nisk and was it Kulbrast as well
1:36
Gina are you gonna come to the spider temple oh we have some naming issues like Gina is
1:43
Jeff Richards and oh you don’t have to worry about it they hide it anyway by the way okay
1:49
okay it’s just confusing for us because i get i see your name Claudia i
1:54
see my uh there much better otherwise i was gonna get confused i will come with you guys
2:00
but my character has no problems with spiders i have a problem with spiders so please do not go into detail yeah
2:08
yeah not too many separate role you know fiction from reality yes i
2:14
will i will try to do that it’s not that easy no actual spiders will be occurring in
2:21
this trip to the spider temple except that one right behind you if if i knew about your
2:28
arachnophobia i would have picked another my fetch would have been something else
2:34
oh this is something i tried to ignore all right so if i recall you guys plan was just to
2:40
head out um head out into the left arm at dusk to go there during the night
2:47
or are we going to go there during the day day no night night whatever
2:54
well why don’t we travel to travel during the day and get so we get to the spider temple around dusk
3:00
so we’re there at night but we can get to their drink so the trip there is at least reasonable and i’m going to bring
3:05
mystarius head taker and her brother rasteros will come with us so give
3:11
got a bit more muscle just in case the trolls cause trolls you know they’re they’re bullied they can be bullies
3:17
so if we show we have force they’ll be less likely to tackle that and last time we went and bought all the
3:24
delicatessen we could find at the market oh we got some gifts and a cow for them
3:30
right yeah weird weird foods that we wouldn’t eat but you know yeah rotten salad
3:36
and vermi mushrooms and things like that oh they from what i
3:43
recall there can be a bit like foodies so i’m not sure they want to do rotten stuff as gifts we wanted we want to get
3:50
spices i mean really weird stuff rotten stuff fermented stuff
3:55
all this stuff a little bit of mold is always good okay so who do we believe here i mean
4:03
and then and everything everything with a bug inside is a treat because it’s more fun we did get a giant
4:11
beetle sorry i’ve wrote i wrote this i’ve already wrote the section about the troll caves in the cookbook so
4:19
trust me i know okay i know so we bypass the delis and going to the
4:26
backyards and see if they have anything interesting lying around there perfect
4:34
everything which is alive so basically you guys end up going over towards where
4:40
the uh the butcher’s guild house is and grabbing all of the offal that doesn’t end up
4:47
getting cut into um and keep in mind you all are a bronze
4:54
age society so you eat pretty much well everything but there’s stuff you won’t eat and that’s trolls will eat it
5:04
so what do you do just to to get the mental impression you guys like load up a little wagon filled with
5:10
offal and yeah but we put it into into bags or crates or something first
5:16
obviously so it’s sort of in you know in a manageable form
5:21
for trunks and we get live insects lots of them yep perfect put them in jars
5:27
yeah all right so they can throw the jars against the walls and they burst open and the inside yeah it’s a
5:34
surprise foodie bag brilliant it’s like a and it’s like a fortune cookie yeah okay see how these easy
5:42
flies are flying and then you can time to paint the jars i know i mean it’s they’re in they’re
5:48
not see through anyway they’re not see-through just don’t
5:54
if you’re looking at paying twice as much for a jar or a hell of a lot more for a jar than the food
5:59
let’s let’s not do that no we’ll just take earth and wear stuff it’s okay
6:06
it’s only about like three and a half kilometers from downtown bald home
6:12
to the end of the left arm which isn’t very far so
6:19
um you tell me you guys leaving in the afternoon are you leaving in the um
6:25
uh what time are you guys planning to leave to go to troll town
6:31
afternoon sounds good waking up for breakfast pretty much when we get there
6:41
so you guys head up there and um you all pass by joe’s pocket
6:47
joe’s pocket is kind of that’s the that’s the mosf eisley of bold home the
6:54
the hub of scum and villain villainy which oddly enough you guys don’t hang out that often there
7:00
uh Kulbrast probably makes a mental note that maybe that’s his kind of people uh but you head further up and
7:08
and remember both home is built in these the this these hot in this high mountain valley
7:15
so it starts getting dark there um further up in the valley pretty early
7:23
i mean you know you know how it is to up in the mountains right philip you know it it it gets early it gets
7:30
dark in the valley early in the afternoon and
7:36
you all head up and there’s this big huge uh as you get past
7:43
uh joe’s pocket there’s this big huge uh tent
7:50
covered in animal heights and your guides have told you that’s the
7:57
Argan Argar temple that’s where that’s kind of the viewed
8:02
as the entry to uh troll town there and it’s always best to make friends there
8:11
because it uh if if you’re you you’ve got friends there then troll town is an
8:17
interesting place to uh as a diversion but if you don’t have the friends there
8:23
trolltown can be a very dangerous place and this guy can they can have a guide to get us the best way to the spider
8:29
temple i would assume too maybe it’ll be good to talk to them
8:36
so you guys gonna go in yes sure so inside
8:42
inside the bit this this tent and it’s huge it’s like a giant circus tent but um instead of you know being made
8:50
out of lightweight cloth um it’s made out of animal hides they’re just slapped
8:56
over and over and over onto each other and they the oldest hides just kind of they let
9:01
trolls let it just probably rot away and it just keeps slapping hides onto it and
9:09
inside it is dark and there is um
9:15
a a deep rumbling voice greeting you uh with i
9:22
offer you peace in the darkness he says in tr uh the voice says in trade
9:28

10:53
reaches deep into a bag it it makes a squishy sound and he pulls it out what is in his
11:01

11:58
that there is a stew at the bottom of this yeah we thought of everything
12:06

so you hear this glove glove glob as the troll is clearly drinking out of
12:23
the bottom of your sack every uh everything that oozed out of this

all sniffing and one of them rushes from time to time
21:50
one rushes up to the wagon stops and sees what happens
22:00
and they keep doing this with increasing speed and the trochanter getting closer and closer to the wall i think
22:06
stereos get her to try and like kick one of them back or something
22:14
okay she kicks one of the roll against kick do you actually have a kick skill 25
22:21
plus your manipulation modifier uh that would succeed okay the trolkin

in this outraged loud pleating sound
22:44
um like that and i would like you to roll another d10
22:52

23:06

23:22

24:03
okay so big troll great game here you have gift gift for you the great troll grabs the the bag
24:12
and just immediately shoves it into its um its mouth
24:18
[Music] and we move along quickly um but it doesn’t seem to be paying any
24:24
attention to you um the trolkin are not coming any closer to
24:30
you all now
24:36
and you guys get out of basically that troll town of
24:42
butts against the cliff wall and there is
24:48
a um a trail stone steps basically that have been
24:55
hacked into the cliff wall at the end of the uh at the end of the valley here and
25:00
snog stops shakes his head a few times and points okay
25:12
points
25:19
i offer him one of the jars of beetles now give it to him and say nubnum in
25:26
there at this point snog takes it
25:32
puts his hand and starts gobbling up any of the the insects then looks up at you terrified
25:39
it’s okay it’s okay and we leave and and and snog is just um
25:47
a snog snog eats uh eats all the beetles and as so you guys
25:52
are gonna go out the cliffs mm-hmm yeah yeah snog
25:58
follows oh no we do not want to break the property no
26:04
i think he’s not as snug follows snog he seems terrified but
26:12
you gave him beetles yeah yeah you should probably i don’t know you
26:17
should probably make him stay yeah if he if he gets hurt responsible
26:23
no one can make you do anything we go i it’s not worth all you you’re not going to be able to win this snog
26:29
will either get way too scared to sneak inside or whatever but yes we have to watch out
26:35
for snakes puzzle box or something for him to sit here and try to open him
26:41
i mean the good thing is that all of the other troll kim would have attacked you need a finger and trap you know right put a beetle in the middle and a
26:47
finger trap but he cannot kiss his arm
26:53
sorry okay
26:58
so he fed the property i felt a little bit sorry for the little guy okay he wants to come along with you all
27:13
oh he’s not a dog [Laughter]27:19
all right you all begin climbing up the cliff
27:25
i see Gina going this is not good cliff’s always bad i want everybody to
27:31
do a climb roll with a plus 50 because this is stone slime
27:37
where is climb it’s an agility skill almost at the top
27:43
there i was thinking i’d heard something about steps you failed what is it
27:52
sorry uh it should be 25 i think 25 plus your agility modifier
27:57
climb time 25 it’s 40. or even is it a 40 base yes i couldn’t
28:05
believe it it’s 40 wow a success and i failed
28:13
you failed with a plus 50. yeah a load of 54. no don’t you got 50 extra Claudia oh we
28:20
get 50 extras then we have in 100 90 something 90 something yeah yeah
28:25
yeah yeah i jump up i dance up i that’s then you’ve got your normal
28:32
chance no a dancer
28:41
you’re light on your foot on the way up
28:47
and it goes up and up the cliff and this is one of these ones that is just
28:53
i mean it’s it it’s not like sartar’s roads you know or the pockets where the
28:59
dwarves have made steps that even if it looks terrifying
29:05
you know it’s well constructed and everything is of the right standardized width
29:10
and and you can make it you know it as long as you put one step in front of
29:16
the foot in front of the other you’re gonna make it when all the stuff all the stuff the the high roads that the
29:22
house and starter make this is was carved out by trolls
29:28
so it is you know none of you all slip
29:34
um and as you get higher you can see the um
29:41
silky stuff of weps
29:48
uh you can also you also get the feeling and color that you are being watched by
29:55
spirits that this is a like many of the other places you’ve been in this is a spirit
30:01
place but there’s a lot of nature spirits that are flocked to this which would make sense because if this
30:07
is grandmother’s spider yes but you know
30:12
there’s a bit where you know you have to put your hand against the wall with a cliff
30:18
and of course it’s like an indiana jones you cover it you’re putting your head all over
30:23
webbing i i apologize to whatever spider i just maybe broke web off of
30:31
very respectful of these things all right the last one and this is this is i
30:38
i i i’m going to start abstracting this pretty soon but we have to do a little bit of this
30:43
encounter here i want us all to make a listen raw
30:49
be worse than my last one yes 11. that might be a special yes
30:56
uh no that’s not a special yep
31:05
i made it all right hit it so um those of you all hear
31:12
it you can begin to hear a different sort of clickety-clack sound on the
31:18
sides of the cliffs
31:26
as you continue to head up the cliff i want one more climb raw
31:33
now that you are high enough up you can actually see the fires down it fires down in the distance for
31:40
uh joe’s pocket you’re probably you know these these these cliff walls
31:46
here in uh bolt home just to get you a good feel for this um
31:54
the the the cliff walls of of the valley are gosh let me just see something here
32:04
um on one day i don’t have to go and climb up the damn mountain and you have me do this yes says yep
32:12
he’s like every day i’ve been climbing mountains yeah you’re so well drained now by this
32:19
point you’ve climbed up a good hundred meters yeah there’s nothing there
32:24
yep um yeah very special i think it’s do you know did you know yes i did in
32:31
college are there any pluses on this one or is it just a normal one the usual plus okay then then it’s okay
32:40
problem for me or the others all right you all climb up and and there’s now a
32:47
lot of webbing as you get up just clumps of it um almost like snow up here except it’s
32:56
it’s just wep spider webs why exactly are we going up here in
33:02
carla it seems a bit dangerous to be honest uh she wants to
33:07
appreciate make a allegiance with the spider up here if it’s iraqi solar yeah okay you know it was another
33:16
fifth cult temple whatever for you yeah you could join that one yeah i’m
33:23
not i’m not too um it’s not too enticing at the moment but actually you should have looked a little
33:29
bit more into the argan argo argo temple because those guys guys
33:34
you guys make it up to the top and up at the top at the top of this there is an entry um
33:41
a carved cave into the wall but it’s been heavily
33:47
carved um there are crude depictions
33:52
of of spiders including a crude depiction of a spider troll so like a
34:00
body of a troll uh the the upper body of a troll and the body of a spider
34:06
um on top of the cave entrance and the cave entrance it’s it’s just like the opening of
34:13
indiana jones and the raiders of the lost ark it is so filled with webs yeah
34:20
and there are spiders in these webs i’m putting my hoodie over my head you
34:26
have a hoodie of course i have a hoodie i think
34:32
yeah i have hoodie okay i kind of like to do a bit of a dance ritualistic dance in
34:39
front of this before we go in dancing spider dance do these spiders
34:46
like okay i want to say i want to see i want to see a a stylized version
34:53
of the spider dance for me yeah what’s the spider dance well they
34:59
do look spiders
35:08
you know i for a moment i was thinking that steve martin doing the king tut [Laughter]35:26
do these binders like bugs as well i mean we could give them some they do we still have
35:33
jars and jars full of bugs which we just have to you know carry down again afterwards yeah
35:42
yeah that’s you wage your way through um and of course you feel a number of
35:49
times you who’s the for who’s in the front who’s in the rear who’s first i’m in the middle okay
36:02
she’s muted are you needed oh i walk in like bare chested in the front i’m walking in
36:07
like but who’s immediately behind in column uh we do need light um
36:15
okay well if you get light your issue is that all the spiders might run away are you okay with that
36:21
or maybe worse you’ll see them all
36:29
yeah he has a light spell and he has his necklace that is
36:35
that is um is a light in itself i’m just not sure if it’s enough to walk
36:42
around by but you said it was you get a cast light uh okay do you want to do you want to
36:48
see what’s there we might not want to just slide in here rather than falling
36:57
light spell might be bad but the the things around your neck is with a bit of fire that might not be so bad would you your question is if you
37:04
cast the spell you’re gonna upset the spirits that’s the question this light just kind
37:09
of what are you thinking i’m thinking maybe not the spell but we could
37:15
probably have like a maybe a fire i’m not sure i don’t know
37:20
enough about these these guys spiders why we are here we have to we have to see something in carlos
37:29
i mean you can always talk to whoever you’re trying to okay and carla goes in the front gets all the spider webs away and we
37:36
follow that’s close yeah i’ll go behind her no lights lights or no lights
37:43
in color i can i can actually i can i can cast light on an item and do the spelling on
37:49
me then as soon as you do that okay yeah so there’s no difference between you doing that
37:55
and him casting light no but mine will last until i don’t want it anymore this will
38:00
last two minutes so i can cast it
38:07
no just the spirit magic light but i can i have spell extension as a gift so i
38:12
can keep it on me okay so if i cast it on like one of my necklaces that
38:18
so i can hide it and i don’t want the light or just like have a little bit of it showing through so we have a
38:23
little light is that’s possible
38:29
if you fail you are actually a torch
38:35
all right so you are able to see what’s going on here aren’t you first off i mean
38:42
you of course you’re good at ignoring this sort of stuff you ignore the spiders that periodically crawl over
38:50
you most of them are about the size of tarantulas they’re my friends
38:55
uh and of course there’s spiders then Gina you realize that that weird scent
39:01
some of those weird feelings um sensations aren’t just spot going through the spider webs but they are spiders
39:08
the thing is i don’t think that Gina is actually afraid of spiders because that much time she actually spends in graveyards
39:15
necropolis and so on it’s only me as a player who doesn’t like spiders so
39:20
but tina is very brave but the occasional spider with a body
39:27
that big that scurries through that’s concerning it’s more
39:34
disconcerting do you have any idea how big the legs of a spider that big are yes you can roll them and have some for
39:40
dinner yeah they’re only a little bit hairy you all go through this
39:46
and aren’t fleeing are you no that we’re not doing
39:52
you make it into the inner part of the temple
39:59
just webs everywhere and in the middle of the temple there is
40:06
a monstrous monstrously fat troll
40:13
with um four troll limbs and four spider
40:20
limbs so it’s got you know arms and legs and then it’s got
40:27
spider limbs and when i say monstrously fat i mean like a spider’s body fat
40:34
huge and uh it’s huge and bloated troll
40:42
and it’s it looks right at you um in color and greets you
40:48
and says welcome to my lair um what do we have
40:55
do we have do we have a spider do we have a fly
41:06
greetings great queen of the spiders here i have a spider so i am a spider
41:17
does she see my fetch she probably does because that is a spider yeah she sees your fetch okay that’s so
41:24
but we have brought you flies oh what did you bring her food gifts
41:32
that we have left okay i want to see something here then
41:39
it is you have offered at least five lunars worth of of food
41:47
or cash um [Music]41:52
it accepts your gift it accepts your gift and offers you
41:59
the blessings of the blessings blessing of
42:06
grandmother spider and wants to know since it is fed
42:13
it does not feel the need to it does not feel the need to eat you at this time
42:21
how may it help you until it grows hungry again it says
42:28
in the name of the grandmother spider we come with some concerning news
42:35
uh during the great hero quest run by caller whatever her title may be um
42:44
the web did not hold the webb did not hold walk both the
42:51
devil and we have recently also run into
42:56
an avatar of ragnar glar who said that his father was about to break free
43:03
or his son i don’t remember linda doesn’t run his son i think his son
43:08
yeah his son is about to break free
43:13
this means that the webs didn’t hold and a grandmother spider may need
43:21
help or maybe need an alliance against the chaos that the lunars are now
43:27
awakening and i come here as a storm bull also
43:32
shaman with with an affinity towards our wonderful
43:37
grandmother spider to offer
43:44
a bond between the two for the Storm Bull shaman to fight spirit
43:51
chaotic spirits and weave webs of trapping them
43:59
this is not something that uh exists for now i don’t think but we may have to
44:06
think new to fight the chaos that may be awakening
44:14
it uh the the spider troll
44:21
uh the spider troll um says that she knows she says the great
44:28
one the great one on uh black dragon
44:34
mountain has told us that the web is fraying
44:39
the hero wars are um the here wars are upon us um
44:46
and uh uh these may bring that this may
44:53
um may end time itself
44:58
and destroy the web of arachna solara
45:04
she is willing she uh to teach you how to spin
45:13
a web please that would be more than nice
45:22
yes but to do this okay so game mechanic wise what she basically is doing is
45:28
she’s giving you an offer opportunity to initiate into her secrets
45:33
so you would initiate in and you would be able to learn
45:38
um you’re gonna hate this because it’s gonna cost you power again yeah i know i know uh for two points of
45:46
power yeah you could um uh initiate
45:52
into the Aranea cult and gain the spell webbing they’ll teach you the spider
46:00
secrets because you weren’t training this um winter were you or this season no this is about i’ve been working towards
46:06
this stuff actually this is what you wanted to do she will let you join the Aranean cult
46:13
and teach you the webbing spell and webbing what that does is a
46:18
two-point spell it hurls a mass of silver strands of web into an
46:24
area anyone hit by the strands is helpless unless they overcome the web strength
46:30
so it’s like a super duper glue spell and what determines this strength it’s got a strength of 40.
46:41
it’s a really it’s a it’s a is she and and she will teach you the the she will
46:47
teach you some of the secrets of grandmother spider with this that that would be very nice
46:52
because i have written down a rectangular with a like a question mark of sub or associated cults
47:00
and she will teach you a little bit of who the great man the the great one is in the black dragon mountains etc
47:07
will you accept her on this i do accept her on this this is then you will stay with her in her lair yeah
47:16
okay and the rest of you can leave
47:25
[Laughter] and she won’t eat anyone even the trolkin that follows you
47:32
but what you will be allowed to do is and i’ll send you the stuff on Aranea is you will be allowed to
47:38
initiate into the iranian cult and she uh she will that the iranian cult that is
47:45
grandmother spider is worshipped by the trolls but she will tell you that that grandmother spider
47:52
is um grandmother spider uh had an
47:58
interesting and little described meeting with arachna solara
48:04
and is the herald of the cosmic spider and and thus spiders you know spiders
48:11
basically are they are the servants that hold uh their web is a symbol of the web that
48:17
holds all of creation together and that although the spider goddess may
48:23
not be in and of herself that great of us us you know a great god in the way that
48:29
kyger Litor or Orlanth are she is she but she is a servant of arachna solara
48:37
and makes her privy to secrets um greater than many of the great gods
48:44
that’s at least how they view it i um it fits because i did pick
48:52
a rocket solar over horned man during my shamanic awakening it makes perfect sense it
48:59
makes perfect sense so um you will so what you do in
49:04
sea season this year is you initiate into the cult of um Aranea you are perhaps one of the
49:12
handful of human initiates of Aranea in all of dragon pass
49:19
i mean it’s a minor actually i think it’s a minor spirit cult elsewhere and um you also learn from
49:25
your spider master who is the the the priestess of the temple
49:31
uh that the the the great mistress of the cult is cragspider the
49:39
fire witch who knows all of the secrets um
49:44
uh of heaven and earth and who even defeated uh even defeated the fire gods and
49:51
stripped them of her power and who created the great
49:57
because i’ve trolls liked the troll gods yes well guess what you you had i have never
50:03
seen a player character Aranea cultist and that’s what you get to do to do
50:08
so we’ll work out i’ll work out send you the details um on this but um
50:15
yeah that is what you get you’re gonna have to sacrifice two points of power though i’ve done that and it’s so ugly i have
50:21
no idea you have like an 11 power now right you’re like 10. you’re like one of the world’s wimpiest
50:27
uh shamans yes but congratulations you are now an initiate of the spider
50:33
goddess yay that’s three cults now can i drop one and get some power back
50:38
no no but you probably hit your limits
50:44
so with that i think that’s a good place to wrap up up the big events you all are able to
50:50
return um snog is pathetically loyal to you all and any time that you come into this
50:57
area snog is always waiting for you and we have not even whenever snog sees you he always
51:04
goes snog snog
51:11
looks at you looks at Gina with big eyes snog no i i gave him something to eat
51:19
all right so that’s that’s i think where we want to to wrap it up because i knew we had to have a short session
51:26
but next session we’ll wrap up the season and move on to i think the plan is to go to culinary
51:31
lands yep okay bye everybody thank you all thanks bye
