Hello everybody, welcome back to DD4-O four.
I am your DM Tony, and join with me today are the other three
sweaty Smash mains in my lineup. Fellas, why don't you go ahead
and introduce yourself, starting with the neutral air down a into
a smash. J Reed.
What's going on guys? Almost checking in.
My smash brother choice has always been Bowser.
He's amazing. I love him.
His grab, body slam, that's my that's my go to.
Just like your Mario Kart is. Down and is down.
Butt smash. Love it.
What about you, Dan? Hello everybody, My name is Dan.
I play Mintas Pebble Walker, your tiny little swarm keeper
Ranger, and I am absolutely the zero suit Samus of this podcast
hitting you with that lightning whip.
Why you laughing? That's a great name.
I know, it's just this is a very damn answer.
About you, Drell. My name is Drell.
I play. Never mind it's Alec.
I play Drell at the Ashbourne and I am talking long enough
that I can Google Smash Bros characters.
Jigglypuff is one that I like to play a lot.
I like how she gets like, mad or whatever.
And then yeah, I like how she can like, sing people to sleep
on the on the on the map. Yep.
Jigglypuff. What about you, Tony?
Yo, Ness all day, baby Ness. I love Ness.
Love me some Ness. Give me gotta give me more of
that Ness. Maybe psychic power PK fire into
that neutral air. Down grab.
It's fantastic. Or down.
It's down, grab into the neutral air and then side A.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you can definitely tell
who plays. This game and who does not?
I used to play. I actually fucking hate it now
because I was so terrible at it. I couldn't get good at it.
So I started hating it. But you know the deal.
Before we go into the recap, we're going to do the rundown.
Today's rundown is brought to you by Jay Mad.
Jay, man, what's going to give it to us?
OK, now down the website d&d44.com, go check it out.
If you got some time, we got the episode blogs in there.
You can leave a little comment. We've been reading them.
Pretty great. I appreciate you guys who have
already started to leave some support on there.
There's merch, so if you want to, you know, pick up a little
hat, maybe a shirt, check them out.
And then also we're trying to throw in some news every once in
a while, so if you guys got some articles, let us know.
D and d44.com. Terrific.
Thank you so much for that amazing rundown.
Now you know the deal where I roll my giant rubber foam D4 and
whoever lands on has to do the recap for the last session and
let me get rid of. That I'd like to point out that
Jared has said Bowser for the same answer in the past three
sessions. Yo, he's my boy.
He's my boy. OK, excuse me, I look like Doo
Doo, all right? How do you want me to throw it?
You know what? I want you to throw it from the
bathroom into the room. No, that's a bad idea, No.
See it move the microphone though.
Hit hit it off the chair into your room.
Try and use the chair as the backboard.
There you go. Yeah.
Wing it at the chair so that it bounces back towards you.
It's. Usually the ridiculous ones that
somehow he does perfectly so. Oh, he's oh.
Look at that. That was great.
That might be.
The best one ever. You see the tip?
I can see the tip. I can't see who it is 'cause
it's so tiny. It's.
A good size. It's a 3.
It's Dan Three's Dan. It's me.
It is Dan. Anybody have any suggestions for
this one? Got one of the tip of my toe.
Oh shoot. Smash Brothers announcer.
New character approaching Harmos.
Harmos hears a message in his head from the blood shards.
Drell and Menace in a panic with a Laura Donsar try to figure out
what to do. Menace running down stairs.
Drell standing there as people come through portals.
They finally take the blood Shard away from Armos and all
the voices begin to stop. They go through portals with
Lord Baron's friends. I can't remember their names
right now, but they are. What are their names?
Tony. Nilas and Mulen.
As Nilas and Mulen come through the portals, they bring our
heroes back to Lord Baron's Divider, where they talk to Lord
Baron about plans to go up north to find Drell's father's axe.
But as they stay there figuring out what to do, they have
downtime. That's right, downtime.
Drell decides to make more potions, but gets a really
snarky note from Nilus. Menace tries to help but Drell
tells him he's not very good at helping and Menace goes to make
more items. Probably has a list Christmas
list of about 1000 items as Nilus and Mullen finally decide
on one thing that he will make and our most restructures his
spells yet again. When Armos and Drell make their
way into the manufactory at the bottom of Lord Baron's divider,
he finds the Gnothic that they thought was long gone, but sure
enough is not long gone and is actually their good wonderful
favorite pal in the entire universe, Jack Bolsinki.
Bard, play the music please. Good morning, good afternoon and
good evening and welcome to the world of Humrea, featuring three
first time adventurers in one very patient diem.
This is D and D4 O 4 fellas, boyos, welcome to session one O
6 as we are in the heart of the Lord Baron's divider bullpen
where Lord Baron had walked you down into the center of the
bullpen. And the bullpen is this large
pit of all these different types of magical experiments going on
where the where science and magic are are living
harmoniously to provide and come up with new solutions to modern
day problems. And in the center was a Gnostic
magically attuning this purified acrylic Shard to precise
specifications. And he was working on it.
And then when Lord Baron finally called out his true name, Jack
Bowden, the Gnostic turned to face Drell and Armos as he
revealed his true form as this tall, slender human with black
hair and a big brown bushy beard with a very elongated Adam's
apple and a very unique voice. And we're going to go ahead and
pick up that conversation where Boden left off saying so you
need my help, do you? As he stares down Almost and
Drell. Absolutely this guy.
No way. Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
I can only stay in this forum for a certain amount of time and
I got to waste my precious moments on you being insulted
after being called out from my work.
The blood is up in Armas's face right now, eyes turning red just
from the blood rushing to his to his on how angry he is.
He's also dressed like super obnoxiously.
The robes are clearly too big for him that he's wearing.
He has like this leather belt has all this different like
magical components around his waist.
His staff is on the shorter side and he uses it more of like a
cane. But he looks very young despite
his very long brown bushy beard and like black spaghetti like
hair. And he's looking at you, his
eyes, his eyelids like half open and he's kind of giving you like
a like a face. His lips is protruding a little
bit. He's like, well, what's got your
what's got your arms? He's all up in a bunch all.
Right, so our message wants to like hold him hostage, like
everyone back type situation or the the nothing gets it.
So he's got a misty step behind him, grab him around the the
throat, and then have like an eldrich blast ready to to to to
shoot him if he says one more word.
Go ahead and give me a grapple check.
Almost as you try to swing your arm around him as you go to head
and Missy step. Dexterity check actually.
Do I get advantage not? No. 15.
With a 16, he manages to slip out from the crook of your arm
as he's just a little bit taller than you, just by a few inches,
and he slips out. He goes whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bonks you on the head with his quarter staff as you try to
like, load up an elders Bless. We don't get handy around here.
This is a nonviolent area. As you can see there's many
magical things going on. Explosive things, very
flammable. Now let me What's your beef with
me? After being missed and instantly
as he turns around I cast force cage.
You go to cast Force Cage and you notice that it's instantly
countered. Well then I counterspelled his
counterspell. It is not counterspell as he
chuckles. He point, he takes the quarter
step that he's leaning on as a cane and he and he taps on the
massive arcane circle on the bullpen floor that is
surrounding the gem. And he goes first time in a
magical place. I know maybe you have a wizard
tower of your own. I doubt it.
I doubt you have your own wizard tower.
But as you can see, there have been precautions here.
This is a place of nonviolence and such things can, and there
are such a safety precautions in place for people to not cast,
you know, dark magics. Absolutely.
In a rage. He's still just casting
everything he's got at this guy. You are blowing through charges
and spell slot I. Love the image of armors just
going pretty much super. Angry, like they're just puffs
of smoke coming out of his head. I didn't even tap into my own
ability yet. You can't even get past this
circle. They'll try to obviously
polymorph, which probably won't work, but then he'll try to
Crown of madness. He's throwing everything he's
got to try to see what goes through.
Your spells are getting shut down as you're trying to do
everything you can in your blind rage to try to get one over on
him. And he's just like looking at
you. His eyes, his eyes are half
open. He's leaning on his quarter
staff. He's got one leg kicked over the
other foot. Quite the arsenal he got.
And this is not a me thing. This is, this is a Lord Baron
thing. You got to take it up with him.
He points that Lord Baron standing next to you as you,
she's just watching you cast spells.
He goes look and he tries to cast a fireball and it fizzles
out on his hands. I mean, Armors is just going to
keep going until someone stops him, sorry.
OK, in your blind rage, we're going to go ahead and go over to
Menace. Menace, what are you doing?
You cut to menace on a balcony, like way up on the top of the
castle, like someone had told him the best view of the castle
and he's sitting with the SIDS drinking some sort of coffee
that they whipped up for him. Good.
Mama, Mama. Man, this is a great view.
Sid, you're right about this. It's been a while since we've
been able to just relax. I wonder what the guys are up
to. I.
Will. Edge you.
Lord Baron leans over to Drell as Bowden is just like looking
at Armos, like unimpressed, but has like a smirk on his face, a
shitty grin if you will, just egging on Armos as she's just
standing there, and Lord Baron leans over to Jarrell and he
goes. Well, what's with the hatred?
Yeah, I don't really. I don't really know.
I think it's just been like a whole thing, you know?
Yeah, I don't know. I I think, you know, you just
had to be there. It's it's like a whole thing.
I don't know. OK, did he do something to wrong
him? I wouldn't say that much.
I wouldn't take that far. It's more like he's been
slippery the past, you know, year.
I guess we've kind of now we're realizing we've seen him a few
times and I think this is all just built up over the time, you
know? OK, OK, OK, OK.
You see Lord Baron goes and wipes his face.
He like whoa, puts both hands through his the wrinkles of his
face, walks over and he puts his own walking stick in between
Bowden and Armos. Most, perhaps from trying to
burn down my home, let alone a great structure of the kingdoms
that symbolizes uniformity in an alliance between two rivaling
kingdoms. How about we talk to one
another? We do need his help after all.
Yeah, Armas, why don't you talk to the guy?
Yeah, you do need our help. You need our help.
What about menace? Where's Menace?
Cut the menace in the cafeteria trying all the pastries or Merc
shit. This was amazing.
Oh, let's bring some back for Darrell.
There's a, Darrell said. Like stuffing its face, but it's
just coming off this, this rock face, 'cause it doesn't really
have a mouth. Oh, I'm sitting.
In the Arseborn it's like noon. Like stop chugging ale.
Cutting back over, cutting over to Bowden, still leaning.
He goes. Well, I thought, you know, I did
a pretty good job bringing the three of you together and this
is the thanks I get. Is is just seething you?
You can just see the steam coming off his head.
Hot headed one. He turns over and he looks over
a drill Bowden like just turns in place and he goes.
Well, I'm finally glad I'm able to meet you in person.
And he reaches his hands out to shake Drill's hand and he goes.
I was great. I was good friends with your
father. Well, that makes one of us just
kidding, and I shake his hand. Ah yes, the tragic story of
Drilled with Brax. Went off to fight gods and did
it to return home. Such is the Goliath way, or
should I say the Ashford way. Isn't that why you're here?
Why you set out and he like pokes you with his cane on on
against your calf and like he feels up like your forearm.
You goes. Didn't you want to come out and
be strong and slay big monsters? Yeah, well, I mean, pretty much
my whole goal was to come out here, adventure and slay bigger
beasts than my dad did. So I'm apparently finding out
that they're a little bit larger than I thought they were, and
I've got a lot to do so. There are many great beasts out
there, but from what I see is that you're doing kind of well
for yourself at your age. Yeah, I mean, I killed one with
a Trident from like 100 feet in the air.
No big deal. That was kind of cool.
Over at Lucius Farm and Visions or the reservoir, right?
The giant squid in the giant in the giant.
Yeah, that was there. I've seen it.
Happen. I watched.
Our most is pissed. So you haven't followed us this
whole time? I was visiting a friend.
Oh yeah, The one minutes went up to her room.
What's her name? Manus was there hara.
So where is the little scamp anyway?
Drill like looks around. I I kind of forgot.
Tutamenez, who is now just looking in random rooms.
Hello, is Drolin here? In every room you look in,
there's like a Sid that happens to be in there just conversing
who who's ever in the room. You're not sure how the Sid has
gotten there, but like this is just in every single room you
happen to be looking a Sid. Sid Alpha, what are you doing in
here? Sorry, I'll leave you alone.
Give me the privacy. I move on to the next room.
Sid Beta, Sid Sigma, Sid Omega, so on and so forth.
And you eventually stumble into the bullpen where everybody in
lower bandspire usually ends up, if not not resting or in transit
to do whatever they need to do. And you overlook and you see
almost like a blind rage next to this wizard.
Four months. Four months you've been
following. Us oh he's mad about something
it's. Been a lot longer than four
months you. It's been quite a few years
since I've been with you. We should get down there, said
he's he's mad about something. And he pokes and almost he pokes
you with this little quarter step right on the nose.
He boobs you. He a little time traveler you.
I will end you. Wait, what?
Excuse me? Coming through, Drell, I found
you. How's it going over?
Here me any snacks. Oh yeah, I did.
They had this pretty cool cinnamon pastry.
Here. Try it out.
I actually don't like cinnamon. Do you have anything else?
They have a lemon one and they also.
OK, yeah, lemon. That's all you.
And as I hand begin to hand it to Drell, I look over and then
the pastry drops on the floor and splatters.
Jack, nobody move. But I try and cast spells as
well. No, he's no.
He just looks a he'll be like he starts to sniff you and he goes.
Summon beast, Wet long strider, Inflict wounds, Gashes form
guiding bolt, Arbos. What's going on?
I can't do my spells. I point to the the blue thing in
the middle. I'm conserving my rage to to
only lash out a Jack. You see that he like pokes your
horns menace and he goes. I've always been fascinated with
goats. Such wonderful creatures of lore
net. And I throw my net at him.
You see, like the net just drapes over him, right?
Right. Very well.
And he like, gingerly takes the net off.
Oh, what is it? What is this guy doing here?
Well, I was working on something and he points to the one of the
acrylic shards that have been purified that he's been
modifying from last session. And he goes.
While I was in my work and Lord Baron had distracted me from my
concentration to apparently talk to this gentleman here when I
revealed my human form, which will end soon.
And he like looks at like a magical arcane watch on his
wrist and it rolls down his sleeve.
He goes. Which will end soon, but
apparently he was going to ask me something before he tried to
murder me. And he does air quotes.
We, we need help. I look at Armo's with squinty
eyes and I'm guessing he's the only one that can help us.
Absolutely not. At this point, Armas is pacing
back and forth. Well, I assume the three of you
have talked to Lord Baron and have heard out our great plan
that the three of you need to venture to the valley and
reclaim Drills Father's axe. Yes, in which the three of you
can get powerful weapons to destroy a crystal's phylactery.
Because the onset doom that this one.
He points points the Armos. This one has now unleashed upon
Umbrella. I'm gonna show you unleashed.
His hands are clenched. Will you and he like his arms go
up? You better not leave this and I
I point to the the sphere better not leave this area.
I do not plan to leave this bullpen until my job is done,
and apparently you want to add to that task.
So while I am in this form and able to speak the common tongue
before my narcissism returns and plagues us all, please let us
converse. I'm standing next to Drell now.
I'm like, yeah, So this guy, I'm guessing this guy's a wizard
that can help us or something, huh?
I am a great and powerful wizard, yes.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm getting at too.
Jack Olsinky is a wizard. Next you're going to tell me
that that nothic is around. OK, only if comedic timing was
was present at the moment. What what I am the nothic minis
veins. That wasn't a spell that was
just the truth and he's like talk to everybody.
He gestures that like now all like these half legs gnomes
elves are like looking around you because when you can get the
sense that when Boden speaks, people listen regardless of the
gibberish she's spouting, and he wakes you up, he's like come on,
get get, get up, get up, come on you low effort, come on.
Don't touch me, I'm. Fine, and the name is Jack
Bowden, not Bosinki. Oh my God.
He like gently patched your cheek as he like he helps you
stand up as you refuse his help. And then he gets serious and you
see that his comic facial demeanor drops as his eyebrows
get low. We have things we need to talk
about, some serious things. And although we can sit here all
day and watch our most cast fireballs that he seems to be
having a little bit of an issue with, we need to tackle the
larger problem at hand. You see, we have things we need
to do that will take weeks, and we don't have the weeks to do
it. Now.
Lord Baron had advised me, or had summoned me to help you.
And there's information I wish to relate to you, information
that you may need to know to take down our common enemy here.
And I'll tell you what, to sweeten the reward our most when
all this is said and done, when a Christo is banished from our
very lives and hopefully put down for eternity, I will give
you this duel that you sow, that you crave from within your fiery
soul. I must have still mad but still
listening. OK, there's a lot to take in
right now, but since you are bowed in and you were clearly
friends with Drell's dad, I will put aside our differences for
now to help you help us help you help everyone.
He looks at menace and then he gives a side eye over to our
most. He tilts his head and he has
like a little bit of a cutesy face on our most.
Can you do with your what your friend is doing?
I'm listening as best I can right now.
Are you listening to Respond or are you listening to help?
He doesn't doesn't say anything, he's just gritting his teeth,
just like the the weight of the situation is finally coming.
Is this bloods slowly coming down from a boil to a a small
simmer? He's still angry.
That is our most version of a yes.
So we are on board, OK, we will help you and let's all be
business about this. Of course, of course.
And he gathers the three of you together, pushes you along, and
he goes. Let us take a seat, times his
hands as all these mage hands fly out from underneath his
robes as they seem to gather various snacks, drinks and
coffees and teas. And a table is now revealed off
to the side of the bullpen in which he appears there and is
waiting for the three of you to sit.
And as the three of you begrudgingly sit, he returns to
a serious demeanor as he begins to drink some tea and tap the
side of his cup with his spoon. Takes a long, obnoxious sip.
You hear cranking and you see that Menace has borrowed a crank
stool from one of the scientists.
Whoa, I need one of these at home.
So drill, we need to get your father's axe.
Yeah, that was the plan, I think at least, right guys.
And I turn and look at everyone else.
Yeah, your father's axe was crafted by Scurrious and has
already been prepared to handle one of these purified acrylic
shots. These, the two that we have at
oppositions, are indeed created and crafted by me.
Scurrius is currently working on one for minutes.
However, we need a third. He looks at you almost now.
Lord Baron may have mentioned that you might have something in
mind and giving you our Astutes evaluation that you may have
something for me. I have something for him.
What? Almost the gem.
Almost pay the man. I mean, yeah, the gem.
What? I don't know, I just got used to
saying it. Yeah, yeah, he's, he's, he was
too angry to. He was thinking the entire time
we got those acrylic gems, even though he created them and he
was there right next to us the entire time.
But then, once he figures out that we're talking about
Reginald, he softens up just a little bit as he presents the
gem. He takes the red gem.
He looks at it. He goes, yes, this is an acrylic
Shard course, yes. So the problem with this is that
it takes some time to purify. And then he looks at it.
You see, his stare gets more serious and he goes, hold on, Is
there something living within here?
Yes, he almost doesn't want to admit it because it's going to
make him sound weaker than he is 'cause he doesn't have his
patron. He's he's a demon from Bailoon.
Yours. He's talking through his teeth.
He smacks his lips and he thinks over, and he's like brushing his
long brown beard. I could purify this.
The problem is, I do not know the nature of the beast.
Would the beast be willing to allow me to purify this gem?
Well I mean is he going to get 8 wings or?
I don't know anything about no wings.
I don't even know if he'll survive the process.
If he rejects the purification, two things could happen.
One, if he rejects it, he'll die.
Two, depending on how it's entwined with the Equila Shard,
acrylic Shard could break. And could we get a good option
or we just going to leave it there with?
A good option is that if he agrees and you think the beast
of burden within this gem will comply with the ritual, then we
get a purified acrylic Shard. What happens to him?
Well, if he accepts it, then perhaps he lives.
This would be a first even for me.
Reginald, if you can hear us shake, shake once, there's no
response. Yeah, no horos.
Can you talk to him? Do you have a like, can you, can
you touch it and use telepathy? Can you enter the gem?
How? How?
Do do I sense Reginald at all
or? You sense him like how Bowden
sensed him. You know that the the gem is
powerful. It's it has an evil nature to
it. And there is something and you,
you do sense Reginald inside. You can't talk to him willingly.
You notice that you know that when you have spoken to him last
time you were in like this dream like state you've you've taken
significant amount of damage. It was like a, it was like a
visage that you've received. We're going to have to wait
until he communicates to us to ask him.
The thing is, we don't have much time.
When you return with Braxt's axe, Menace's gem will be done
in which we will need to figure out how we will Don him with
that with with the gem. If you don't have what you need
to be equipped with when you see a Cristo, you may not be able to
be much of help. Feel like we're getting tuned
for like the Enixia fight, you know what I mean?
Here's here's the thing, the weapons.
We know that a Cristo is some form of lich.
How he achieved his lichdom we haven't quite figured out.
A lich has a phylactery. We believe the phylactery is a
part of him and at which we can take a part of his body and he
gestures to the Akilo shards and purify them.
We can use it against him to destroy what he has created and
hopefully slay him for good. You can break him down as much
as you want and believe me, I have once before he will just
return. So like when we go on this
journey to find the axe, are you saying we'll at least have time
to try and speak with Reginald to get an answer?
I feel like we don't have any choice here is what he's telling
us. Because regardless we need the
Shard with Reginald or not. What you do with your time here,
You could sit and wait for the purification to be done, or you
can leave and when you come back the purification will be
complete. Hopefully takes about 8:00 weeks
to purify one of these gems, and that's without a demon.
Could be quicker, could be longer.
Not give us a lot of time. Lord Baron needs about two weeks
as is, and you look over to him and he nods.
To get the supplies you need to travel to the valley through
North Trulis, a very harsh, harsh terrain up there.
So we can see. You can sit around, you can
wait, or you can leave in about two weeks.
Travel on the journey and maybe I'll be done by the time you get
back. Choice is yours Now as far as
your friend goes and asking for your permission, that was a bit
of a ruse. Almost is right.
You don't have a choice. Things tend to come easier for
those when they believe they have the choice and believe they
are making the right choice. Almost just staring at the gym.
Does the demon inside mean a lot to you?
Yeah, you could say he's like just a pet.
Or most a. Pet.
Or us don't lie to him. Rude.
He's, you know, a buddy. Keep going.
Acquaintance. I cross my my arms.
Yeah, you know that disappointed mom look when she knows you're
lying and she wants you to tell the truth and she puts her hands
on her hips. That's what Drills doing there
is. Now a drill of the Ashbourne Sid
and now an almost Sid. They have their arms crossed.
Sit in the Hellfire. Sit in the Hellfire.
Their arms are just crossed. Looking at you.
Oh. My God, where's the Reginald
skin? The Reginald Sid.
There's a Reginald Sid in the back somewhere, right?
It's an even smaller set at the base of almost top of.
Sid of the Hellfire. And I just point to to the SIDS
because I don't want to say it. Boden looks at you.
Almost. He goes.
I will do everything I can to save your friend.
Bear, bear. And I'm like waving my hand
towards almost best, bestest. Oh my God.
Your bestest? I'm pointing at my journal on my
bestest friend column that has him in DREL at the top.
Bestest. Oh my God.
I'm not leaving here until you start.
There's no way I must say that he gets up frustrated.
I'm. Disappointed in you and minutes
walks in the other direction not knowing where he's going and
then realizes he hits a wall. I'm I'm I'm leaving angrily.
He takes the gem. Just one more thing we need to
discuss before we go about always.
He takes the acrylic gem and he puts it in his oversized sleeve
within his robe. I will take care of this, and
I'll begin working on it. And then he looks at your tome,
almost at your wayside, and he goes.
I'll make sure it fits that that grimoire you have hanging at the
hip, and perhaps it could empower you in your future
adventures. But there's something that we
need to explore on before we go. You see, a Christo takes on many
shapes. When I saw him, he looked like a
great and powerful wizard. I assumed that when you saw him,
despite my research that he takes on many different shapes.
Perhaps what you believe is the perfect version of yourself, or
what you believe is the perfect version of your being, so to
speak. And almost Menace and drell
Drell. You instantly think of your
father, a younger version of your father who's strong, stoic,
full rage and ready to fight. Almost.
You look you think back to what you saw this this sophisticated
older tiefling that looks like he has all the shit together.
Looks like he's in endowed in in power and dark magics and looks
like he has everything going for a menace.
You see this like hulking minotaur that is like your ideal
definition of what a minotaur should be and what maybe you
wished you look like when you were younger because of the fact
that you were so small back when and your and your growth was
stunted. As you know that this is not a
Cristo's true appearance. The only part of him that is
real is his gauntlet. It seems that's where his power
originates from and his his his arcane focus.
Some of us of the weave would say a Cristo's what we believe a
crystal's true race to be. Now, if you can imagine, there's
more of him. However, we never actually seen
any. And he pulls out an old
wizardstone, like a portal opens up next to him and he reaches
his hand inside and you can see a glimpse through the portal.
It looks like a massive library. He's just beyond it.
He pulls out a tome and it's a book of the Astral Sea.
It's a thinner book because it's not a lot of knowledge about the
Astral sea. And he opens up to a section and
it's a very short passage. He goes.
We believe that a Cristo is a Shard mind.
Those words mean nothing to me. I'm I'm gonna be real.
They as they should, because nobody knows.
Nobody's ever seen them before. How?
This book is ancient, This book is thousands of years old.
Perhaps they have come here and visited once and left.
Or perhaps somebody had some great magical user has surfed
the abyssal sea and found something called the Living
Gate, which is where Shard minds are from.
Shard mines are constructs of pure crystal, and they can
manipulate their body in many different ways.
So you're saying I didn't see Miranor?
I saw a crystal reflecting nizing light.
I know big words to make it look like Miranor.
I don't know who Miranor is, but perhaps you're on to something.
Right. I assume so.
This is Samira Nora, somebody you look up to.
RIPA. Hero of yours, perhaps?
I cannot wait. Well, that's the hero there.
Who's our heroes, who we look up to, who we base our entire life
upon, is neither here nor there. Because soon people will base
their livelihoods on your decisions that you are about to
make when you go out. Set on this quest to save
Humrea, not only sell Trillas, but Humrea as a whole.
Cool, cool. So here's what's gonna happen.
I'm going to begin to work on this gym.
If you choose to stay the full 8 weeks, that potentially takes me
to purify it. So you are most equipped for
your journey, so be it. But Lord Baron can take you
through the step of your next steps.
And then you see Bowden begins to like shift.
Scales and dry skin begin to pop out from underneath his robe.
He goes, well it looks like my time here is is is done as in my
human form as I now you see like his face melted to a giant eye,
his jaw becomes elongated, spikes pop out the back of his
spine, and he is now a noffic again.
Oh my God, that just instantly happens, huh?
And he's holding this acrylic Shard.
He goes, and then you see that he waddles away back to the
circle where he looks like he's beginning the preparations to
purify this gem. And Lord Barrett comes in and he
goes. We do know that the three of you
have to travel to the north. We are currently making those
preparations. We are gathering materials to to
craft you with your clothes so you can survive the elements.
We are currently procuring a beast that will be able to
handle the harsh weather so that you may travel.
We may need to train it. We are looking for the items
that you have requested for your journey.
We're looking up a new brews for you Drell, but this but these
things take time. And from there, we're going to
go ahead and do a bit of a time skip as the three of you now
realize that you're going to be here for a little bit before
you're able to set out on your journey.
And we're gonna go ahead and skip one week.
And during this week, the three of you have used your downtime
to not only relax, but like talk amongst each other.
Come up with like a plan on May how you may want to travel.
You do know that Lord Baron is providing you a carriage that
that is capable of traveling through snow.
He's trying to get a beast of some kind to pull it.
He's giving you supplies to survive the harsh winter.
The three of you have started to become much more familiar with
Lord Baron's dividers. You now have free reign and you
each have your own room and you start to make friends with some
of the people around there. And as one week passes, you
notice that Lord Baron had advised the youth via letter
because now he's very busy, that the materials for the harsh
winter to survive in the harsh winter have arrived and crafting
of these very warm firs has begun.
So this is where I want to come down to you guys during the.
So we're going to take it week by week.
And when you three feel like you're ready to adventure out is
when we'll start. But right now you do not have
the current, you don't have a cart, you don't have an animal
to pull your sleigh just yet, and you need to wait a little
bit more. So what did the three of you do
in this week of downtime? OK, so Drell would like to work
on crafting some brews and then I would also like to spend I
think last episode we talked about increasing my
intelligence. Yes.
So then Drell just wants to like continuously like hit the books
and he I guess like primarily maybe doing like history or like
about like a Christo and you know, like the like when when
the when the Christo first came and like took that guy.
Oh, the red catastrophe. Yes, when he took a ratio.
Yeah, and like learning about the red.
Yeah, learning about like the red catastrophe.
So you begin. To hit the books and you start
reading about history and and and things of that nature and
you're trying to make yourself a little more knowledgeable about
the world around you and you begin to hit the books so that's
not going to happen directly after one week, but you.
But that's how you spend your time in between bruise and and
relaxing. Yep, exactly.
Now what about menace and almost?
What are the two of you doing during your first week?
Yeah. I spend that that week, like we
talked about last session, helping in any way to procure
some magic items that would help me on my journeys.
Yeah, so, menace, you begin to talk to Nihilus and Mulan about
the items you're looking for. You may you have made them a
list and you, you and Armas had given them a list of like items
you're trying to sell things to lighten your load.
And they have advised you that they're going to take care of
this as it does take some time and they are busy, but they're
going to do their best to accommodate your needs.
And you notice menace specifically with you.
The more people that you begin to talk to, you notice that like
SIDS are now like copying some of the people you're talking to
more. So now there's like a Sid for
Nihilus and Mulin, and it looks like they're just following them
around. And as you become friends with
them, they're like your SIDS are like branching out to people and
like acting as an extension of your kindness towards other
people. You notice that like they're
taking on their personalities. Just something you know, since
you've been doing. See, this is amazing.
Look at all the SIDS. They're hey, there's a mule in
one. There's a a Lord Baron Sid.
Oh my God, There's a Jackpot City.
Dang it, it's. Super obnoxious.
All the other sins hate that sin.
Yeah. So Armos, just like Menace.
You have given him a list of gems you would like to sell.
That would also take some time. Is there anything else you would
like to do within your first week?
So he's either going to blow off steam and do like one of the
options on this thing was like a fighting pit.
So he's going to be like training as much as possible or
scribing spell scrolls. So we'll say that you spend
this. You start spending your downtime
to scribe some scrolls. You don't get any scrolls yet as
this is a ongoing thing you'll need to do, but it's a great way
to also like blow off steam as like you go outside on a balcony
and like you shoot like you're scorching rays through your eyes
and like you're just getting the fire out with by any means
possible. However, you still do not have
your fiend abilities just yet. It's because Reginald is still
locked away and after the first week, as the three of you are
living within Lord Baron's divider, you do hear some news
as there are some scouts that report back in on a on a daily
basis. And throughout this week, you
have noticed that there's rising attacks on supply and merchant
convoys on the road, specifically on Capitol Rd.
You know that Capitol Road goes from the city of Aramore to
Dilmore to Gilo. It's like a main trading Rd.
It was the road that you travelled on way back in, in arc
one and two. And you know that you you've
been hearing news reports that there have been more attacks on
this road and supplies are getting where they need to be.
And the three of you continue your downtime as we now progress
into the end of the second week. And as the three of you are
scribing scrolls blowing off steam minus you're helping by
any way you can and drill hitting the books as you come
together for meals during like lunchtime, you see that the
giant gates open from Lord Band's divider.
And you see that there are a bunch of gnomes in halfling
pulling on ropes. And you hear this of a beast as
a mammoth is being pulled through the front door.
And you see Nihilus and ruling like run up the stairs to the
main hall. Be like oh great, the travel
procurement has arrived as this as you are getting a mammoth to
help pull you through the harsh tundra of North Trillis.
Wow. Those beasts are amazing.
Very hard to find as Mulan cries out.
It's like, yes, we just need to train it so it listens.
But they are gentle beasts and we shall do our best so it
doesn't run off on you in case you get to any danger.
And they like, they pull it and they pull it to an area where
it's they pull to like a safer area where like beasts live in
with a more Barren's divider. And the Wii continues as normal.
The three of you are still doing your thing, and Nilas and Milan
are still working on your requests.
Week 3 comes along and the three of you have now started spending
some time while still doing what you're doing, has started
spending some time with the Mammoth, as now the mammoth has
been trained in its basic needs to pull.
Lord Baron comes out and he goes.
Well, he meets the three of you like in the yard.
In between your downtime activities he goes.
The basic necessities for your travel have been met.
We have your warm clothes, we have your cart and we have your,
we have your transportation. And he gestures to the mammoth
and he goes. We haven't.
There's still much you may need, but if you are in a rush to get
on the road, you have what we have our basic necessities.
So if the three of you would like to leave now, you won't
gain any benefits of your downtime activities that you've
been working on, but you can leave if you if you would like
to. I was.
Just gonna say I would like to stay in least at least for like
a week or two and like work on stuff.
Cool. Yeah, I think, I think Menace is
thinking the same thing. As the third week ends, there
have been increasing news of attacks.
Throughout the second week, we're now very small towns and
Hamlets have been desecrated and have seen rising cultist
activities. And by the end of the third
week, menace. A paper is handed to you by
Moulin and they go. We have some bad news.
There was a recent attack at the Sigic College.
What? What are you talking about?
Sigic College was able to defend itself off, but we have closed
the school to the public. Well, that's good, a good
decision. We have sent people who wish to
go home magically and those who wish to stay do not have any
other place to go are now living within this sigic college that
Nihilus and Mullen are telling this to the three of you.
But we found something among one of the cultist bodies, and he
hands it to you, Menace. And it is a wanted poster.
It's a bounty letter for Menace. Pebble Walker.
It's requesting that you are retrieved alive, specifically to
the city of Streatham, which is what you know as Red City.
Yes, OK, this makes sense. Oh shit, menace, you're wanted
bro. The price on your head 500,000
gold pieces. I spit on my my drink.
Armos. I look at Armos.
Do we really like this guy? Do these guys have a lot of
posters or just me? We've only seen ones of menace.
I really like to think, and this is just because I started
watching this like One Piece how how Luffy has his wanted voter
and Darrell and Armos are just like in the background like the
back of Darrell's head is in the back of it.
Oh, there I am. Oh, OK, that's not surprising
news. But the reward is surprising.
Not sure what provoked this. Perhaps there's a cultist member
that really doesn't like you and it's which one?
Yep. And then we go into the 4th
week. Do you see that there's now like
supplies and crates coming in Menace and Armos, a number of
your gems were sold and we'll get to how much you make in just
a little bit. But a number of your gems were
sold and you gain a couple of 100 of gold from it.
And I'll let you know what the exact number is in the moment.
But Minnis Nihilus comes up to you because it's good news.
We have procured one of the items that you have requested
while we were selling some of your gems.
We actually found it in the town of Dilmore.
So Minnis, what you going to do for me now is that you're going
to roll me AD 4 as one of the items that you have requested
hadn't been found. But we're leaving it up to
chance to see which one has been located first.
So go ahead and roll me AD four and let me know what you get.
Before that's our mascot. I wish I had your big die.
It's mine, don't touch my big day.
I got a. One that is.
That is the Boots of Speed. It is a wondrous item, and while
you wear these boots, you can use a bonus action to click your
boot heels together. Oh my God.
What's this? What do these do?
I put them on. They're they're boots.
Yeah, boots. They make you go fast.
The boots double your walking speed, and any creature that
makes an opportunity attack against you gets disadvantaged
through the through their attack roll.
I don't know what they mean by the attack roll, but if you
click your heels together again, you end the effect.
So basically you use a bonus action and you go double the
fast, you double your walking speed.
Oh my gosh. It can be used for a total of 10
minutes per long rest. Hey Drowl.
Want to see me go really fast over to the baked goods?
Want to see me do it again? Yeah, so you have, you can use
the boots for a total of 10 minutes per long rest.
So you do need to keep a little round tracking here if you're
going to use them over multiple periods of combat.
Or situations did I get like one for each of us?
No, you got one. Really.
Was there not more? Well, we.
We, we only found one, we found it in a used item shop, believe
it or not, and it turned out to be legit, which we usually stray
away from when it comes to used magical items.
But however, we were trying to sell some of your gems, but due
to the recent attacks on the road, people weren't really
buying gems at their highest price point.
It seems that the economy is kind of in shambles within
bigger towns and people just don't really aren't looking for
ornate gems at the moment. However, we were able to use
some of the gems and some of the funds we got from it to purchase
one of these. And which is what you wanted,
right? And now it's like looks at you,
it's exactly what's wanting. It was on the list and now we
got it for you and are you happy?
I would say satisfied no more than happy either.
Way you say that, Jerrell, you have your spectacles on and you
have like a history book open in front of them and like you have
like a quill and you're like taking notes and the notes
you're taking are actually quite sophisticated as you've gained a
point in intelligence. So it goes from 8:00 to 9:00, is
that what? You, That's what it does.
At the four weeks of harsh studying and hinting the books
and determining being determined, you have gained a
point of intelligence. Armos, you managed to create 3
Level 3 spells for squirrels and I'll let you choose what spells
they are. OK.
As the E3 of you are conversing with Mulin and Nihilus and you
have got some of the equipment you have requested you, you hear
noise come in from the main gate.
And as they're like 2 halfling scouts and they look tattered
and their clothes look singed as it looks like they just survived
an ambush and they're heavy breathing.
They're like luscious bombs. Luscious bombs.
It's it's burnt to the ground and you see that they like hand
some paperwork as like people rush over and Lord Baron like is
now out of his office and you see that they take the report.
He's like scrolling through and there's a there's a stone in
there for encode thoughts. What you used Armos showing what
they have witnessed and Luscious Farm and vineyard has been
destroyed, which you know that Luscious farm, those five
locations generate about 70% of South trills food pop food
source and it has been burned down.
Drill slowly just starts grabbing a few more rolls from
the table. If we don't, we don't.
We need to do something otherwise S trills is going to
going to result in a famine. And there was this Red Dawn
sigils everywhere marking the burnt and scorched ground.
You know as you've been there back in arc three that Lolucius
farm and vineyards make up about 70% of the Kingdom of Aramor's
food supply, with some exporting to the Kingdom of Brim.
It's also a hot tourist spot. And you know that if the
cultists had burned the crop that there may have been some
civilian deaths as well because you do know it's a hot tourist
attraction. So as we end out the 4th week
with this terrible news, Drell, you just got an increase to your
intelligence set and minus you just got these new boots of
speed. Yeah boy and almost got some had
made some scrolls of three Level 3 spells.
What are the three of you doing during this downtime as you've
now just heard this news about Lolucha's farm?
If we wanted to get going, we can't because they're still
training the mammoth. You can leave now if you'd like.
The mammoth has had some basic training, so now it's like
friendly towards you. You have made the three of you
are familiar with the mammoth at this point.
It knows that it's going to pull a car.
The car is ready and you have warm clothes and you have basic
rations as of right now. I mean, I mean is there, I mean,
should we go down to Lolucia's farm?
Is there something we can do there and help?
I mean, they make most of the food for South Trilla.
So I'm just thinking and Mina's thinking your your goat friend
that you talked to for so long. I mean, he's down there in
danger. Like don't you want to try to go
save him? Wait, what girlfriend?
The Galanti Cathuli. Oh.
You remember the goat? No, I don't remember.
I don't remember talking to a goat.
That doesn't sound like something I would do.
The the goat, you literally talked to him for like a long
time. We were like, hurry up, menace.
Hold on. First I got to check out these
boots. Yeah, I click my heels and run
away. Amazing.
So Lord Baron approaches you and he said and he says as Drell
mentions that idea to go to Lolusha's and he goes, we're
going to do everything that we can to send the proper forces to
Lolusha's and provide aid. I'm sure that the Queen herself
is also doing the same thing, sending some of her forces.
They're going to reinforce Lelouch's as as well as the
smaller towns along that road. We know that menace is now
wanted among the Red Dawn. There is also a wanted poster
for the three of you collectively from the Queen now.
The Queen does not know the three of you are here.
Knew it. Drell turns around like this
bump. She's finally It felt super left
out when Menace had a wanted poster.
I zip back with my booze. So what's what's the the price
on all of our heads? Well you you they just have.
Well the three of you are just wanted by the Kingdom of Aramore
or vandalism and conspiracy to work with the Red Dawn as the
three of you have Major named as Bloodshot Bandits.
We did nothing of the sort. We're rebranding ourselves, OK.
Rebranding or not, you did burn down a Tavern.
What? Well, technically we said that
no, Armas definitely did do it though.
No drought. Wait, what?
I mean, I'm not going to lie. I said Armas don't do it.
Wait. Wait, wait, what Tavern?
There's been a few. Hang on.
No, you were a. Few.
They tried to capture and kill drought.
What were we supposed to do? Oh yeah, OK, they deserve that.
We is that the one that Minutes got stabbed in?
No, no, it's a different one. That one, they deserved it.
He taps, he bangs his, he bangs his walking stick on the floor,
on the marble floor, and he goes.
Here's the thing, we can't go out and start helping every
little guy out there, every town where the big or small in cities
are dealing with their own strife at the moment.
But it is nothing what compares to the big picture because these
attacks will keep happening unless we take care of the main
problem. We're still training the mammoth
outside to be better fitted for battle if the three of you have
come across it. Well, Trolls is a very dangerous
place and there's and they have their own problems up north.
We want to make sure you have your reliable source of
transportation as you traverse the harsh tundra.
Now, the three of you can leave today or tomorrow.
However, there's still things that could be done to better
prepare you for the trip. And our most if you're waiting
for your friend, We are already a month in and we know that
Boden is making some progress on your acrylic Shard.
I mean, I feel like the acrylic Shard getting back to our most
is like a power. I don't know.
I feel like we should wait for it.
It's like a power spike for him, is what I'm trying to say.
It's like, good it was. Tony almost just talked to his
Reginald, I could feel it. I mean, we could wait.
I mean, it's up to you guys. I mean, it's up to.
How long would the Shard take I mean?
He said two days, right? That's what he said.
Two. Days.
Oden said two months. 02 months. No, OK, no, never mind.
I heard two days for some reason.
We we like Reginald, but I mean. I'm really good with animals.
I think we'll be fine. I'll help with the mammoth.
No, I mean I'll drive the mammoth.
What? What do you mean you'll drive
the mammoth? Yeah, I I drive our carts.
What do you mean? Why would you drive the cart?
Well, carts are different and when we handled OK, actually
Darrell will be driving the car. Yeah, that's what I thought.
Because he is our car driver. Exactly.
Thank you for recognizing that. Yes.
OK, but I get to name the mammoth as I start walking away.
Fuck. Dang it.
Really was hoping for Mammy the Mammoth.
We're gonna name him Beethoven. Beethoven.
Beethoven the Mammoth. I like it.
Classical Lord Baron chimes in. Beethoven seems very noble and
regal and mighty. It's a hefty name for hefty
animal. Right.
Well, we're happy to leave. I think we're on the same page
as soon as possible. I mean, we'll never be as
prepared as we think we need to be so.
Well, the choice is yours and yours alone.
If you would like her to wait for the gem to be purified,
that'll still take some time. We can gather more supplies, or
if you feel that the basic training that we gave the
mammoth within the last week or so is enough, surely they would
certainly send you on your way. You only get one shot at this,
yeah. Uh huh.
What again? Are we supposed to do when we
get? Oh yeah, good question.
To the axe location, just grab it and go.
Yes, Simply put, something tells me that the axe will not be left
unguarded. The Valley of Winds is a
treacherous place. And he looks at Jerel, he looks
back at the two of you. And I'm.
The axe has been there for a number of years.
I'm maybe something has found it.
It is in the den of Frostoon after all.
His dad slayed frostoon, so it's probably just chilling there.
That he did that is very true. I hope, I hope.
Oh. You call my dad a liar?
No, I'm not calling you dad a liar.
Then what do you mean you hope? No I just hope nobody went in
The Cave while he was gone. Like hopefully he slayed the
beast and that's cool, but you know, other people don't know so
they might have got in. Drill Squints's eyes.
Sid of the Ashbourne also squints his eyes.
I'm gonna keep practicing. Click RAM.
Would you like to end downtime activities?
Yeah, there's nothing else. I mean, there are things I would
love to get. It would be nice to have all the
time in the world. But I I don't think Minnis wants
any more bad stuff to happen to the.
The death and destruction that's happening is come to our
conclusion. We need to get moving.
Yes, so you shall. Lord Baron said.
Approaches you with Nios and Mullen.
He goes. OK, we will prepare the carts.
We'll prepare the wagon for tomorrow morning.
You will leave through the northern gate and set your
trails to the Kingdom of Britain into No Man's Land, heading as
north as you possibly can to find a Valley of Winds.
On the wagon will be a map of where we believe the Valley of
Winds could be located. Nobody's ever fully explored N
Trulis before, and in those unmarked lands where it's too
cold for any civilization to thrive is where the Valley of
Winds is. We'll do our best to lead you
where we know where our marked territory goes.
The wagon will be outfitted with our best fireplace and a number
of cots is a very large carriage.
The tires are thick and you may move a little bit slower until
you start reaching snowy lands. The cart is sturdy, built for
warmth and defence. It is not built for speed and a
woolly mammoth isn't necessarily the fastest creature there is.
Just know that once you reach N Trillis, the further you will
travel N the harsher the winters are.
Do not stay outside for long and do your best to keep warm.
Take frequent rests for if the cold will get you, he will claim
you. The winds N are very unforgiving
and if you don't have any questions for Lord Baron with
what he just said, he gestures for the three of you to get some
rest and he will meet you in the morning to set you out on your
journey. I give him like the two fingers
so little. He gives you a nod, a respectful
nod. Yeah, I I don't need to say
anything more to him. I definitely want to go to where
the acrylic Shard is that is holding Reginald before I leave.
Yeah, so you make your way over to the bullpen, where all these
City College scholars are hard at work on various tasks,
experiments and projects. And in the center of the bullpen
is this. Nothing.
Twirling and moving around on mechanical ladders.
And he has a grimoire in one hand and he is weaving and
shaping the gem in the other. As the gem is floating on this
pedestal and you see that the color of the red Shard, because
it's about halfway complete, is now has started to turn blue.
And you see every so often the gem shakes, electrifies, bursts
into flames and then calms down. And then Boden begins to
continue to work on it. I see is working on the
purification process. It is floating on this pedestal
within a blue orb to keep it contained.
And that is what Boden, in nautic form, is manipulating to
purify the gym. What would you like to do while
you're there? Basically sit with it for a
little bit or near it and just see if I get like hoping to get
some kind of vision or some kind of sign from Reginald within.
Arcana check. I'm really good at those.
A 25. A-25 You sit down on the
sidelines and you are staring at it, watching Bowden for about
like a solid hour. You're just, you're lasered in
on this gym and you're not really watching Bowden work
anymore as you're just looking at the gym, trying to make a
connection, closing your eyes. And you're like bonding with it.
And you do sense Reginald inside.
And you notice that when the gem electrifies and combusts into
flames, it matches something of a heartbeat, as if Reginald is
stressed out but is trying to work on like he's on something,
like he's trying to better himself or he's trying to endure
what is happening. And you get this overwhelming
sense of determination from within the gym.
You feel the evil almost fading away as the purification process
is going. Do I feel like he's in pain or
anything like that? He's in pain, but not in a sense
like he's being tortured. Then as you're focusing on in on
the gem, a voice breaks your trance.
And it's a little bit of a high pitched voice.
It is not Boden. Boden is still hard, hard at
work, but it's coming from the left of you, and it's coming
from lower, from from like almost like the floor as you're
sitting down and you hear this voice that goes shot.
Magical, isn't it? And to the left of you is Chemi
Joe and the City College scholar lab coat, swinging his feet on a
stool, looking at the gem as he's like sitting next to you.
He's not magical, isn't he? Why is your bone and work?
The the let's you know it's not breaking him up.
But yes, the the gem is very magical.
That's your gym, right? That's not the gym we found,
right? No, yeah, it's, it's mine.
No, but that's the gym we found. He points out the other one that
has been purified already, the one that's for Jarrell's
father's axe. And he goes screw to think.
Just about a year ago, the three of us were in his house.
I was just on a a quest from the college to retrieve an alchemy
drug and we came home with the legendary artifact and that's
when I met you. 3 Isn't that crazy?
It is crazy. Who?
Would have thought. Not me.
I mean, I got some wicked late fees from that, but you know,
you know. Oh yeah, do you want don't I
have his book? I don't.
If you have more, it's fine. I have good news.
I have graduated from the City College.
I had finished my last semester. I ended a little early to come
work here, and I've been a bonus assistant for some time now
actually. As I nod to him, I was searching
through my bag and I pull out Alchemy for Dummies and I hand
it back to him. I still let you borrow this.
Interesting. All right, Well, I don't need
it. They took it out of my tuition.
I I had a large debt I needed to pay back and then, well, it's
done. Yeah, it's crazy.
It is. It is crazy.
I was hoping that so I can feel Reginald do I feel like he could
hear me if I was talking to him? No, you're not on the same
plane. I mean, you could probably talk
to him out loud and he might hear you.
You don't know that. Give him some words of
encouragement, right? I do an inspirational.
The Jeb begins to crack and fold on the he would.
Just get some temporary hit points maybe that would you.
Know I can help. You know, might help him.
Would you like to talk to the gem for 10 minutes to give it an
inspirational speech? Armost is going to while talking
to Kimmy Joe as if he's talking to Kimmy Joe, but he's really
talking to to Reginald. He's giving a great a great
speech about the next two months will feel like an attorney
without you by my side. Know that every moment apart
feels my determination to reunite us.
And I'm talking to Kimmy Joe that while I'm saying this, I'll
be back before the moon completes its cycle twice, which
is 2 months. Oh my God, it is beautiful.
I am almost you get to we get to see each other again.
That's zero, my guy. Yeah, and then as I'm looking at
Kimmy Joe, I kind of side eye over to the gym, seeing if it if
it moves at all and it. Continues to go under its
purification process. Don't know if it had any effect
at this time. Well, Kimmy, Jo and everyone
else within range of me, especially Reginald, except for
that Nothic son of a whatever is gets temporary hit points.
OK as you give a inspiring speech, Kimmy Jo looks up he
goes really think you're going to be you're going to travel all
the way to the Valley of Winds and back within a month we're.
Going to have to. Yeah, that's quite overzealous
to me. That'd be impressive.
That would be some record if you come back within a month.
After his speech, he's starting to feel he's trying to just end
the conversation and and kind of start start to leave saying his
goodbyes to Kimmy Joe. Yeah, it might break just a pad
over, too. But you see, Kimmy Joe's about
to go help Boden continue his work as his assistant.
He goes. All right, I just want to say
that we're all caming on you and me and you some drell here and
we know you're going to pull it through, but we also know how
dangerous it can be and hopefully we can finally put an
end to all of this. So you know, I know first hand
on the great things you can do, just like when you save me from
those dashley bug bass and remember how we knocked that one
out? We put him to sleep with one of
my potions. Great times, great times.
You had that one wing three times.
But you know, we're counting on you.
And if no one else, you gonna say it?
I believe in you. And he turns around and gets
back to how to work. We're gonna go over a pain over
to Menace. Menace.
What are you doing? Yeah, Menace spends a little bit
of time that night talking to Lord Baron before heading out.
Yeah, and he happily lends an ear to you, and he walks back to
his office as the two of you talk.
As he begins his preparations, it's like signing some paperwork
and making sure everything's in order for the three of you as
you continue to talk to him. What would you like to say?
So yeah, I I'll be fine. Drowell too.
I'm not worried about him. He's lived in the highest of
peaks his whole life. And I mean, my feather here,
this this keeps me magically warm.
I'll, I should be fine. But I gotta say, I'm worried
about Hermos. Do you think he'll be fine with
just those warm clothes with other spells we can do?
I I'm just, I'm just trying to be as cautious as possible, you
know? Fire is your best friend.
The garments that we have fashioned you are lined with red
dragon scales. They will keep, they will
certainly keep you warm. Now if you're out in the
elements that chill up, there is something real nasty.
Any equipment that you may have to keep you warm may struggle in
the north when you are truly N. It may help you last longer than
the average equipment may take you.
You're out there within the elements for too long.
It will surely clean you and as far as you're as far as almost
goes with the equipment that we've given you.
Now we I was informed by Nyelus Mulin that they have given Drell
the Lava Java brew. Fantastic name by the way.
Could not agree with a better name.
That will help you keep you warm within the harsh elements.
The fireplace is well equipped with plenty of wood and that'll
keep you warm as well. The woolly mammoth will be fine
in those conditions. If you find yourself meddling
with some of the town with some of the free folk up there and
when you get a little north, you're going to be running into
some draconians. I feel Draconians are friendly.
As long as you don't attack them first.
The Draconians will be kind to you.
The giants up there, well, once they see a woolly mammoth,
they're gonna do everything they can to take him from you.
Good to know OK if you can. Avoid the Giants.
Talk to Draconians.
Avoid the Giants. Got it for the record.
I know all this right? Or no.
As Dro would know, the free folk up there contains several,
several races, like there's orcs up there, there's draconians,
which are like these draconic creatures.
There are frost giants. You haven't encountered frost
giants in your lifetime as like the really dangerous tribes
because they're really far north, but you do know that they
are not to be taken lightly. You travel in numbers and you
are very strong. Well, great.
That's that's good information to have.
I don't know I don't think my feather will be able to help all
of us, but at the very least I can hopefully lead us into the
coldest regions possible. Thank you.
And before I leave, I I just had to ask if did Titus Boulder
Smasher reach out to you at all to offer any aid?
We haven't gotten any letters from the ivory bulls.
No. We don't keep much of A rapport
with them from before the disaster.
Oh, OK. From what I gather from you, the
the clan is mighty, but you tend to keep to yourselves, if I'm
not mistaken. Oh, certainly.
Which isn't. And that's a which isn't wrong
by any means, but as far as their how they're doing with
everything going on, I am. I am just not sure.
Well, you wouldn't believe it, but I knew virtually nothing
about the outside world until I stepped into it.
Taking it by the horns. Yeah, well, hey, I obviously
with my bounty and everything going on, I'm, I'm worried about
them. I don't know if you could send a
scout maybe just to check on them.
I I can show you where we are. You probably already know, but I
do have a map. He takes out a map and he he
goes, please confirm your location of of your of your clan
and we will definitely, we will absolutely send a scout out and
we will alert you if any news that we find.
OK, good. Yes, yes, this map is a little
off actually, we're a bit nomadic, so it's this looks a
bit old. I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll let the
map makers know and hopefully get the scout going 'cause I I
just couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to any of
them. If the Almighty as they say they
are, I'm sure they'll find. You're right.
My dad's fought E probably greater than I have.
I mean, he's Chieftain for a reason.
Well, thank you. I'm going to do some chores
before bed. But I I appreciate your
patronage, your conversation. There's too much to thank you
for. I don't even know where to
begin. We will all be thanking you soon
enough. I just give him a handshake and
head on out. He takes your ham.
He takes your hand and shakes it respectfully as he locks eyes
with you as he does so. And when I go out, the last
thing I do before bed is I definitely go.
And I try to sneak away from dwell, but he might already be
there to like go check out the mammoth and help train it.
As you leave Lord Baron's office after having that conversation
with him and then sharing a moment over the map, you do
notice that as the door closes, you like look back.
And he goes, oh, what did you get here?
And it's a little Cid that's dressed up as Lord Baron.
And he's like a walking stage. He's like murmur, murmur,
murmur. Oh, and you see that he gets
like a little a little laugh from it.
Sid of the divider, of course. And you go out to the mammoth
and drill, are you there? Definitely not drill's.
Drill is just going to wing it the next day.
Has. No plan on training it at all.
That's so funny. You go out to the stables and
there's this large mammoth laying down but it is not asleep
as it's towards the end of the day and you see that the mammoth
looks a little worried. It like looks around.
It has these big doe eyes. It's it is almost an adult.
I whoever's the handler, I go to the handler.
Oh, excuse me, would you mind if I just tried to introduce myself
since we'll be obviously venturing forth with this fine
beast? You see that it's two halflings,
like shoveling hay and trying to keep it as warm as possible on
its feet. It's like, of course, of course,
absolutely, absolutely minutes. And they step aside and let you
have a moment. Whoa, whoa.
Beethoven, Beethoven. It's OK.
We we will protect you, We will feed you, and we are excited to
become friends with you. Animal Handling.
Animal Handling check. It's an 11.
Not terrible, but not great. It's not scared of you.
It does. It does know that you are a
friend and that you mean no harm, but it doesn't necessarily
take to you. Oh, oh, that's OK.
I I know it. It's our first meeting.
You're scared and I can't speak with animals.
Can't speak with animals. And what are you saying to me?
Can you hear me now? Yes, yes, I can hear you.
Oh, that's much better, isn't it?
What's great? What a great moment.
Finally, I get to speak to somebody.
I know it's wild. I I'm still not that used to
myself. I've only done it about five
times in my life. Wow, what?
You speak a mammoth fluently. Those other mammoths must have
taught you, taught you how to speak our language perfectly.
And look at Sid. There is a Sid that looks like a
mammoth Oh. Ma what's?
Happening. This is unprecedented.
But no, I'm not going to lie. We need to start off without
lies. And I, I have not.
I don't speak mammoth, but I'm magical and I'm one with nature,
so I have magical means, if that makes sense to you.
I'm not familiar with these with this term magic, but you are
truly exemplary if you are able to speak to me.
Well, not as exemplary as you. You are majestic.
And also, I don't know if you already have a name, but we gave
you a name in case you didn't. I do not have a name.
Ah, well, it's. Beethoven.
I love it. I will.
I will gladly wear this name as a title as Beethoven.
Well, I wouldn't rather not. I would.
How do I say this? Well, there's no beast I would
rather fight with and ride with than you.
You seem very honorable. Well, I'm sorry, did you say
fight? But no, no, no, Lucy.
I'm not much of A fighter. Oh.
Well, what are those tests for?
Well, defense and they make a really good great headrest and I
can push logs with them. I love pushing logs.
Nothing you need to worry about 'cause if anything tries to hurt
us, me and my friends are going to take care of it.
So you. Just you take care of it.
I run. Well, well, don't run because
then you can get lost and a giant could eat you.
Oh, oh, those giants you see that gets very scared you.
Well, not necessarily. I mean, this is sweating.
No, this, this is going great. So there.
I mean, I'm just saying if you're off on your own, you
never know. It's like a hypothetical.
You never know what could find you on your own, but things are
less likely to attack you and and and fight you and try and
eat you if you're with us. OK, so when scary thing happens,
we run together. Got it.
No, you, you sit down and we protect you.
And can I try to do a persuasion check I guess?
Another animal handling check. OK this is so how this is going
7? Sit down, most vulnerable up and
running and tremors and tusks. Well, we OK, maybe I'll run with
you and we'll get to it when we get to it.
Just I promise you, you'll be fine.
And don't tell Drow we talked, OK?
I don't know who that is. He's great.
You're going to love him. He's going to be leading you, so
OK. I've been told to push cart and
go towards cold. Yes.
Oh, you're a great learner. Well, I appreciate the talk and
I wish you a good rest before I we venture out tomorrow.
I will. I am looking forward to it as
Beethoven of the North. Of the North.
I like that. I'll let the guys know.
Beethoven of the North. That's great, making it your
own. No Giants.
Until the sun rises again. Don't run.
OK, bye. I turn off speak with animals
and I go to bed. You hear a woolly mouth as you
run back. And I'm sweating for like an
hour before I get to sleep. OK, so the three of you go in
for the night. Is there anything else the three
of you would like to do before we move on to the next Dawn?
I feel like we need to rebrand ourselves because of the blood
Shard bandits. Breakfast meeting I.
Feel like that will be a a topic that needs to happen soon.
Or maybe a traveling montage of us trying to figure it out.
OK, so the three of you go to bed as the Citric College
College Scholars are hard working into the night.
The three of you get as much rest as you possibly can and as
the sun rises you hear that there is a early morning bell.
As soon as the sun touches the sky, as soon as first light is
shown, the bells rung and awakens the three of you.
The three of you gather your things, and as you gather around
the breakfast table, begin to converse and talk about your
travels. You see that Niallus and Mulan
had stopped by to let you know that they're getting everything
ready for the three of you, and that within the next 30 minutes
the three of you will be ready to set out.
Three of you eat a nice Big Breakfast and get your things
ready to go and you travel to the northern gates of Lord
Baron's Divider. Inside Lord Baron's Divider,
where the stables are, there are these large steel doors that
lead out to the Kingdom of Brim, and in front of those doors
before leading you to the outside world is this massive
steel and iron reinforced cart capable of going over rough
terrain. This thing is clearly built for
stability, not for speed. It is a huge double Decker
carriage and as you go inside you see that there are two
levels and it's a little bit cramped for you drill.
It's about 6 feet tall on each floor.
Well, the 1st floor is about 6 feet tall.
So you're hunched over and on the on the 1st floor, there's
this, there's this fireplace at the back of it, there's a table
with, and then there's like crates of rations and firewood
to fuel the fire pit within the carriage.
And then there's a small spiral staircase that leads up into
about a small compartment. You cannot stand up in this
small compartment. And there's three cots in there.
It's about from floor to ceiling about four feet room of
headspace. And it's just there to sleep.
It's just sleeping quarters. The three of you will be sitting
on the inside and at the front of the carriage.
On the inside there is a hatch and there are rain, so it looks
like you can guide the mammoth from inside the cart and this
thing is designed to keep you warm at all times.
Also inside the cart are three sets of clothes.
There are these fur coats that go over your armor and seem to
attach at the various clip points at the attachment points
in your armor. So Drell, you see that this fur
coating like links into your armor perfectly and on the
outside it says white. It's like white on white fur
that makes that helps you blend in with the snow.
The hood is long and draping almost like a Dragon's mantle.
There's clearly some cool design that had gone into the fur into
the fur coats rather just just for functionality, but a little
bit of fashion in in them in them too.
On the inside, all these red dragon scales straight from a
red dragon and you feel like this warming heat coming off of
them. You go to put the the fur coats
on now and you immediately start to sweat because it's you're
about the it's still summertime, but it's like almost becoming
fall because you've been there for about a month now.
But like you instantly start to sweat because it is too warm to
wear. So Drell's your yours looks more
of like a like a frost dragon esque look.
Menace yours looks more along the lines of like a Panther or
like a jungle cat. And Armos yours look has more of
the look of like a hawk or crow. Seems like whoever took like the
liberties to design these fur coats like kind of looked at you
and like made it form fitting and try to match whatever
aesthetic you were just emanating at the time.
You also have on top of that you have this map that leads you
into the north through the Kingdom of Brim into no man's
land, which is that land bridge that connects you to North
Trillis and then a path that goes as north as possible before
it trails off Lord Baron then approaches you and hands you a
small box goes in. Here are some pewter bugs or the
lava Java that Nihilus had given you.
Well, I've rebranded it, but we. Could talk about that later.
So when you use the Lava Java, make sure they're in the pewter
mugs and they'll keep them warm for at least 12 hours in the
harsh cold. So if you find yourselves
traversing the snow, going with a mammoth cannot take you.
The Lava Java will keep you warm, and this will keep the
Lava Java warm until you need it.
And there are these three beautifully crafted pewter
thermoses. Also in that box is a scroll.
He goes this, this is a scroll of teleportation.
Once you grab the axe, use this scroll and walk through it.
It will return you here to Lord, to my to my keep.
It'll at least save you a trip back.
The only caveat, the only catch is that we need to be on the
same plane of existence. You must be on the material
plane for this scroll to work. If you find yourself in Shadow
Fell or some other mysterious plane, you must make it back to
the material plane for the scroll to work.
And then lastly there, there's a small wooden structure in there
and it looks like a little cottage.
And he goes, Minnis, I took, I took your words into
consideration as you were concerned about some of your
friends. And he hands you to cottage and
he goes, this is a limited item. This little wooden cottage
contains a spell that you can use three times daily.
Each dawn it refreshes and the spell is Tiny Hut and he hands
you this warning cottage. What the spell Tiny Hut does.
If you're not familiar, you'll speak its command word and it'll
activate the spell. It is a 10 foot radius of mobile
Dome of force, springs it to the existence around you and remains
stationary for the duration or until you leave.
Nine creatures or medium sized or smaller can fit inside the
Dome and the and then the spell fails if the area includes a
larger creature or more than nine creatures.
Creatures in the object within the Dome you can cast the spell
move through it freely. All other creatures and objects
are barred from passing through it.
Spells and other magical effects can't extend through the Dome or
be cast through it. The atmosphere inside the space
is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather
outside. Until the spell ends, you can
command the interior to become dimly laid or dark.
The Dome is opaque from the outside, and any color you
choose is outside of any other color you choose, but it is
transparent from the inside, so you so nobody can look in, but
you can look out. It lasts for eight hours.
You can use it three times a day.
So basically you have this tiny portable home, and I'll let you
flavor that however you like. When you go to use it.
What it looks like he hands that little cottage to you, Minnis.
Wow, thank you. Of course 3 charges keeps us
warm, Replenishes when again at dawn.
At every dawn, every dawn. How long does it last when I
first put it up? It'll last eight hours.
Oh, we vote. Since we're going north, won't
it be longer? What if the sun doesn't go down
and it's like daytime all day or nighttime all night?
Does it still recharge? Unfortunately, it does change
within a day. That doesn't necessarily mean 12
hours or 24 hours. It's when the sun sets at your
location and rises again. See, I knew it.
I knew it. It's a loophole, menace.
That's a loophole. Oh.
You keep telling me about these loopholes.
OK, Well, it's a good thing to have, and we'll definitely help.
Demon boy over there. What?
What?
What do I do? What?
We're trying. We're just trying to keep you
warm, OK? It's going to be really cold up
there. My feather keeps me warm.
Drell is just from there. Do you have some special cold
resistances we don't know about? No, but well.
That's why we have the Hut. I I light my I conjure like
flames in my hand. I got fire.
I should be OK. Oh yeah, you can just cast that
infinitely. Yeah, we'll see.
You know, I might have a different tune once we get up
there. Who knows?
Well, we appreciate all the help.
You see that as you go to leave and get ready to go on the cart,
you see that Boden is there, Nihilus and Mullen are there,
Tammy Joe is there, and Lord Baron is there and they set you
and they're waving you off. And as the three we get on the
cart goes, we believe in you and thank you for taking this
treacherous dirt journey. Anyone can make you back from
the Valley of Winds. We believe it's the three of
you. Boden in his Gnothic form just
clatters his teeth. And you see Kimmy Joe is like
trying to hold back to you. He's like, Oh my God, he's going
to the green journey. They're going to come back.
You see the? World.
I'm going to miss you. You see that there's a Sid next
to Kimmy Joe with like a monocle on and a little scholars outfit
with like a potion bottle also crying next to him.
What is happening? And Sid hugs him.
Your main Sid is like right? Right.
Well, it's going to be a long time since we do this buddy
secret handshake and we spend way too long doing our extra
long you. Extra long handshake and three
of you sit out and you exit Lord Baron's divider as the mammoth
named Beethoven pulls your cart and you exit through the
northern gates as the large double steel doors open to the
Kingdom of Brim. The Kingdom of Brim, although
shares the same land as the Kingdom of Aramore, is an
entirely different world. As the three of you know, Brim
is full of free folk, mostly dwarves, gnomes, goliaths, and
orcs that live within its borders.
All towns may work together within Brim for the greater
good, but each town remains close to their own.
Every town has its own sets of laws and customs, and as you
leave, it traverses to the Kingdom of Brim for the first
time. You notice something strange as
the mammoth begins to pull you as you leave.
Although it is morning, the clouds are heavy and they are
not heavy with rain, but instead the clouds are red today.
And that is where we're going to end this week's session.
Dang it, Dang it. Yeah, I want to keep playing,
man, but man, it's good to be home.
You're heading there. You're heading there.
Woo. All right, It's a bit of a lore
episode and a downtime episode, but a lot of things happened.
You learned a lot too. You learned that we can talk
about in the after show, you know, the deal.
Any any closing remarks before we get into the recommendations?
I have too many SIDS to put on my sheet now, yeah.
We're filling out that list. It's so weird.
All these SIDS are like bonding with people you're talking to
now and like you seem to leave a Sid wherever you go.
So those SIDS don't like rejoin. They stay, they they, they have
been staying with those people. Menace has an infinite amount of
SIDS and they just seem to appear when needed.
Like that's literally what a swarm keeper Ranger is
identified as. It's just things come out of
like nooks and crannies where you're not looking.
So he has an infinite amount of SIDS.
There's a Sid that's specifically recruits other SIDS
to join the battalions. And he is working.
Overtime yeah yes, I gotta break sometime if you listen to the
shout outs, the Patreon shout outs, I I mentioned him and one
of the patrons so. OK, well we're gonna, we have a
lot of talk about the after show, so we're just gonna go
ahead and save it for that. If you're not part of the after
show, you have a list of the after show.
Go ahead and check that out. Patreon, it's all on there.
And does anybody got a wreck? I have one for nobody.
Alec, you haven't done one in like 8 sessions.
It's your turn. Oh God.
I keep track of these now. I have an XL Doug I'm.
Gonna let Tony go and I'll I'll do the next one.
I got one if Tony's already done a few.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I haven't.
Don't want in a while. You did.
That last session. What did I?
Said last session what was. My, you said you were.
You started documenting, right? Who's done the most Rex?
It's either you or Tony, I think.
There's no shot, Jared. Jared.
Yeah, I was like going. Higher Jared does definitely has
a few more. OK, OK.
You got the 100 mile and you scope the 100 mile view.
I think I have the least. Oh, you've went last time you
did primal. No, that was the that was before
you did grind last time. Oh yeah.
Oh. Grind this.
Oh yeah. Hopefully you guys watched it.
If you're listening, hopefully you watched it.
And then before that you did storks.
Yeah, hope you watched it by now.
It's fucking slept. Go get em.
What's yours, Jared? You haven't done one in four
days. Woo or four sessions.
It's a silly little game. It's free for the demo, and it's
called Die in the Dungeon. It's D&D related, kind of.
It's a Slay the Spire, Dungeons and Dragons kind of mash up.
Man, It's really cool. You roll dice, you can upgrade
dice, and you get fun little little perks like each level and
things like that, like Slay the Spire.
It it's only the demo is out right now 'cause the full game's
not really shit, but Oh my God, it's really cool.
Yeah, it's really, it's really cool.
It's a really cool little game. So if you're looking for
something to kill time, that's what I would suggest.
All right, all right. Solid wreck.
We're gonna go ahead and move on
to the Patreon supporters. Say goodbye, everybody.
Good. Episode 106.
Say goodbye, everybody. Goodbye.
Very Sid. Goodbye.
Hey, it's me, Drill. And welcome back to Drill's
Bodacious Auditorium, the only gym for all the right muscles.
Thank you again for your memberships.
This gym palace would not be the same without all of you.
I just have some house cleaning announcements I need to make and
then I will let you get back to your session.
First we have the Shadow smugglers to the Dread.
Even though it was short lived and the sauna is back out of
service, I still appreciate the support.
I understand you can't control how hot you get sometimes,
especially when you get angry. Trust me, if anyone can relate
to rage, it's me. To be honest, I'm just glad I'm
not the only one. Jack Sonasinki rubs the wrong
way. God I hate that guy.
PSI will also need some gold for that smoothie next, A Laura
Donstar. Although Laura is relatively
new, she has recently been promoted to supervise the Blend
and Bulk Fitness Smoothie station, which is now hiring
part time. Please contact a Laura if you're
interested in applying please, we're kind of desperate.
The only ones that have been applying so far are the SIDS.
I'm actually thinking about making Sid of the Ashbourne her
supervisor though. Could be a good move.
Next we have Reese. After returning from his trip
exploring Humbrea, Reese has a new outlook on life.
He's made it very clear to me that he's no longer interested
in teaching cycling. Due to this he will be
transferring from cycle classes to yoga and meditation.
So far the only person to sign up has been Menace for every
class. I did see one though called
Let's Froyo. It seems to be a mix of froyo
and yoga. Sounds fun and tasty.
Fresh back from a suspension is our lead lifeguard, Julius
Kendrick. Although he now has all the
certifications, I can't help but to notice how often he comes and
goes. He'll be there one moment and
literally I'll turn around and he's not there the next.
I guess as long as he's there when it counts, that's all that
matters, right? Anyways, next time you see him
please be sure to give him a warm welcome back.
Next is our blood Shard bandits reigns.
I appreciate you listening to me when I brought up the tank tops
but when I said what's the point if they don't cover anything I
didn't think you would just stop wearing them all together.
Also I know you're preparing for the semi annual trails
bodybuilding competition but you've literally bought every
bottle of bronzer we have. I think you're good, bro.
Next is Morgan Oldville. Morgan, I appreciate you
dropping your companion off at daycare.
I also understand there was a mix up in the requested grooming
service and your fox received a blowout.
I guess it could have been worse, right?
Like a perm? Yeah.
Anyways, my sincerest apologies. And you'll be receiving one free
week of our companion watching services.
Miss Sid will be providing you the coupon next time you're in.
Next is Artemis. I consider you now the
unofficial official, but technically still unofficial
bouncer of the gym. Not only do you now make sure
you put away all your weights, but you've actually been hunting
down others to do the same. And I absolutely love it.
Kimmy Joe told me how you were on him before he was even done
with the machine. Keep it up.
Next is Tanner Smith. Tanner, I want to again welcome
you to the gym. As you've already been
instructed several times, you only need to scan your ID Once
Upon entry. What you don't need to do is
come up to the front desk and scan it every time you go to do
a different machine. I promise you, we've got you
accounted for. Sly, I have your appointment for
the Wear rage room all set. That will be every day from 6:00
AM to 7:00 AM. Here I was thinking the raccoons
were nocturnal. I mean, I am, I'm not a morning
guy, but Oh well. Also, your profile has now been
updated to reflect both forms, so we won't mistake you for a
normal raccoon again. Next is Rommel, your wood
expertise is needed at the sauna.
There was an unfortunate fire a few days back and we'll need
your help to rebuild. Remember, I need the wood, but
please leave the dirt. So I've actually assigned a Sid
to sweep up behind you as you walk through the gym, so you
should be good. Next is the Sidgit College
alumni, Andrew Hall. Andrew, I recently had a
conversation with you talking about the one smoothie per hour
requirement for anyone not working out.
Did you really think you could get away with just sitting in
the corner and drinking one smoothie halfway and then
putting water into it and then drinking the water and then
continuously refilling it? You didn't think I would notice
that? Come on Andrew, one smoothie per
hour. Next we have Patrick
Wennerstrom, AKA Punk. After reaching a mutually
beneficial agreement, Punk will now be performing live music
here at Drills Bodacious Auditorium every Tuesday and
Friday from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. As long as I get to play the
Triangle, anyone who attends will receive a raffle ticket to
potentially win. Wait for it 12% off their next
smoothie. Next we have Robit.
Robit, I understand you got into it the other day with another
member at the gym. Something about a battle or a
rescue mission that had to do with some Royals of your bread
people. Anyways, although the gym is
never the place for violence, I totally understand that some
people can just be total knobs. Next time just meet them in the
parking lot. Next is Saint chaos.
I have a small complaint about the last shipment we got from
Lolucius farms. The fruit and everything was
fine, but I believe we were missing the Jarrell's special
case in the delivery. Anyways, please make sure the
brew, I mean packages comes in the next one.
Next is Sergio Rodriguez. Sergio, here at the DBB, we
pride ourselves on safety. Please make sure you're
attaching the emergency cut off cord when?
Yes, on the stair climber, elliptical and treadmill.
I will say it's pretty impressive how much cardio you
do, even if cardio's a joke. Next is some Brea's heroes,
Mister Man with Glass, Odie Mel and Will Miller.
I do not know what it is with U3, but for some reason you have
gone from freeze tag to the hot sensation.
See what I did there of pickleball?
Now that it's an all out war between the tennis players and
pickleball players, I will need you to reserve your court
whenever you want to play. We're not getting into that
again. Next we've Ripcord, Toby Large
and John Carroll. I understand it's hard to play
two on two basketball with three people, but please stop bringing
in Miranor as a guest every day. You each get one guest pass a
month and Miranor is still on his six month ban.
He's not allowed in. And finally we have Johnny Tarr.
You never came to talk to me or invited me to kick ball, so
you're still banned from the yoga room.
No froyo for you. Well that's all I have for
everyone today. Thanks again for all the love
and support and I'll see you next time.
Drell out.
