How to Troll D20s in an Echo-Y Chamber

"We saw them all running out. If we wanted to, we could tell the people in these buildings to go ahead and make their way out now." "I feel like they're safer in their houses, you know? We can take care of the creature," he says. 'It's passed without a trace, does not affect the people here... So this is just a general... It's far away. It's just an echo-y chamber'

Speaker 2
No,
Speaker 3
because that'll break invisibility if I... If I fly. Better be real quiet. I'm going to be so quiet. Be careful.
Speaker 1
It's now ascended the initial stairs and has entered the signal. Oh, my God.
Speaker 2
Let's fight it in there. Everyone in there is gone.
Speaker 3
So if you wanted a civilian-less fight, it's in there.
Speaker 2
Because everyone in there is important. So we saw them all running out. If we wanted to, we could tell the people in these buildings to go ahead and make their way out now. I could do that. Okay, I'll help. Yeah.
Speaker 3
Okay. Okay.
Speaker 2
Frida and I will go to the different buildings and say quietly, go
Speaker 1
away towards the gate. Don't make any sound. Okay. This will take a little bit of time because there's quite a number of homesteads here to check to see who's here. Like, this is a few hours of work. A few hours of
Speaker 2
work? I think I would just go to one. Just whatever we can
Speaker 1
see. Yeah, you saw one building, but just saying you don't know how many buildings are contained. No, I think it's just on the off the main street, like things that we can see immediately with that separating. Okay. So it'll take you about 20 or so, 30 minutes to, like, carefully gather people and try and get them. And they'll spread the word amongst themselves. Okay. Many of them seem less interested in spreading the word with other people and more interested in just getting the fuck out of there. It'll be like, oh, thank you. And just beeline it to the gate. I'm going to make a... Actually, no. Some e-gol makes stealth checks for the people who are playing. Yes. So just the two of you, regarding these people, have you each roll a d20? And these will actually... I need three rolls. It's passed without a trace roll. It's passed without a trace, does not affect the people here. It sits around you. So this is just a general... It's far away. It's just an echo-y chamber. Yeah. So, let's just troll some d20s for me. You got balls. Eight. Oh, no. What is it? Just a d20?
Speaker 2
Just a
Speaker 1
d20. Well... You should have left it to you. No, I
Speaker 2
didn't. 17.
Speaker 1
17. I believe. 17.
Speaker 2
17. Okay.
Speaker 1
Okay.
Speaker 3
You get the
Speaker 1
sense... After the first group of about 20 or so people that are coming through here, that... Their panic isn't going to allow them to not draw the attention to this creature if you continue to bring them out there. You managed to get about 20 or so people to the gate, and now they're at the gate banging. You have to stop them and you're like, how can we get them? Is it sealed off? They can't get through. Are they close to us or are they gone? If you guys
Speaker 2
are going with them, the two of them... Yeah, I swear to the back of the gate and weren't like, Stay here, don't make a fucking sound or I'll bleed you. And we go back down to everybody else. I feel like
Speaker 1
they're safer in their houses, you know? We can take care of the
Speaker 3
creature.
