Hello Fair listener. Welcome and thank you for
following our journey on metagaming Byram, propelled
gaming, fair warning. Sometimes we are not safe for
work and others not safe. For real life, Journey forth at
your own risk. Now, let's dive right back into
Tara through the campaign, a la la Palace.
Be. I hope you guys have a lovely
time on the weekends away. Yeah, you guys have great
weather and it's just a great time.
Wait, it's not this weekend? Yeah, it's in August.
Yeah. Oh shit, August 14.
Oh my God. I think it was when we were
messaging because I thought that might have been what you
thought. And then I was just like figure
it out. I thought it was in July.
No, I have my my friend's wedding this weekend.
So. Summer is nothing was July, 19.
So I thought it was like, I don't know, which is last, I
don't know. I don't know.
I'm going camping this weekend too, though.
Oh, nice. Are you getting all the fun
stuff just went to Las Vegas to? I know I'm little was Las Vegas.
It was a lot I know that like it's not a great place to be
covid-19 is right now but like I'm vaccinated.
So I just like wore a mask and did my thing but because it's
like empty right now, right? Because it like koba's biscuit
and like the death of a guess. From what I can tell from the
internet it was the opposite of empty, huh?
Yeah that was the most people I've been around in like two
years, probably people. A show.
Wow. Yeah.
I'm getting like text notifications that were like
exposure and your area. I'm a part of the problem, but
also like, I'm not gonna get it and I'm not going to spread it
so yeah, I don't know, I've been joking, my family that I want to
that. I'm gonna like go to Vegas for
Christmas. I don't like Christmas and so
like good excuse to not go home as I'm going to Vegas, right?
So I didn't think I'm there. And it was my first time in a
casino and I did horribly but that's okay.
You're getting it on. Okay.
Long as you had fun, it's all that matters.
Yeah there's also like 110 degrees.
So like going outside was limited.
But I was by a pool a lot and I just they kept bringing drinks
to me and mostly they were like Ramen ice cream so it was
delicious. I had a lot of really
interesting drinks, so you would recommend going.
Yeah, I still had fun and I got really drunk drinking chocolate
martinis in New York, New York by accident.
That was fun. Yeah, it was a good time.
I just, you know, accidentally kept falling and slipping and
all these alcoholic drinks. Just fell down my throat.
They just kept Landing in my hand.
And then, what do you do? It's good to know, it's alive
and well, it's back on my radar for places.
I want to go now. Oh yeah.
So you don't even. Wait, I've never been there
before. So I don't know what to compare
it to, but to me there seemed to be like more people than I've
ever experienced in one place. I've always wanted to go but
like does not like casinos so that knocked out like half the
thing they do, but they're still like shows and so there's stuff
to do. Oh yeah.
Oh I saw circles Circus Olay show I saw the 0 which was like
water and fire theme. So like it's this enormous like
1.5 million gallon pool so not only they're doing like crazy
acrobatic but they're also like doing Olympic swimming and
diving in the show and they're like lighting each other on
fire. It's it was like wild, it was
great. That's cool.
Not that I don't like I can I can relate with that at least
because it just hurts me. Something fierce for whatever
reason that I make, I really like work for the money and then
I put the money out there and then I watch it just disappear
and that was like maybe like an hour and then you know, it was
actually like 16 hours worth of my time in the real world of
Those are the thoughts that go through my head whenever I'm
watching my money disappear. No, I feel.
Yeah, I wanted to try roulette just to like an experienced it
but there was like a fifteen dollar minimum bet.
So like I showed up with $100 and I was like okay like that's
big for me. Like I'm not a gambler so I was
like I'm going to have an experience and then like five
minutes later I didn't win a single thing.
And then I was like, well, I experienced it.
It was terrible. Now we're gonna put my life.
Hi Sarah. Hola.
I poured Ginger all over my avocado toast.
That makes you feel better. Millennial thing.
No. Yeah, I totally thought You
meant what you said, ginger ale? I was like, well that's you.
Poured it like this. It wouldn't surprise me.
If that was the new brunch thing like ginger beer on Avocado
toast but ya know like ginger beer.
But I also eat anything so well, I just poured a bunch of cumin
on top and I'm trying to ignore it and I can't really taste it
so Rising. We're just, we're just never
Minds me. Josh.
I have some salty chocolate for you.
Oh, I love salty. Chocolate.
I am the human trash can. It's just the first note in the
laughter there, too. Is.
Is that still okay? I know, I knew, I knew.
They'd all be meeting some that price they understood all of
them. I guess.
That'll do it. I think we got everybody.
I know Sara. You're probably not in front of
the computer. Like you said you might not be.
So That is correct. Okay, I don't know if that app.
Helped you any though to if you were able to get to that point.
In downloading, like the DND Beyond up.
Oh, you can use it yourself again.
I'm not sure if you did that on purpose or not.
Well, I muted because I'm chomping on something.
Um, okay, sorry, but I have a really busy day today.
Yeah. And I'm no idea what you're
talking about. So I look, yeah, it's ended in
the group chat there on Facebook and I even linked it.
So you can just click on that. If you don't want to go to the
Play Store, I figured for your convenience and because you were
talking about getting Mike to print you off a character sheet,
which you can totally do. Due to, I just figured the app
might be easier for everybody's sake, but if you've already got
a sheet that said, it doesn't really matter.
Nope, didn't get to that today. Okay.
But I did download it, and I'm opening shit.
So we'll see. Ya.
Is there something busy happening at work?
Should I be busy? No, no.
Um, I wasn't able to. Be there yesterday for
bereavement. And so just catching back up and
Ironically. It's like, oh, you were gone.
Because you're sad great. Now, I'm going to make you even
busier the day after so that's cool.
Everything's in there. Would you look at that?
Nice, if you have, so you do have to do have hsieh in the
Indie Beyond. Yeah.
Ah cool. Because that was the one thing
that I wasn't sure about with it which you can do too is if you I
was just looking at it. I'd said that I could roll for
you but I don't think you've ever actually joined to the
campaign in D&D beyond for Allah a palace as opposed to many
polis you know because I see zeph Squall and Thea and hair on
actually to but if you were to go yeah that's a that's an
option for me to do your roles from there, but I think you
should even be able to roll in the app, but it won't Translate.
Into astral from the app. Unfortunately, that's the only
just say where's the link to add my character to the campaign and
I did it with. I just sent an apples again in
the in the cattle, in Discord chassis it so that everybody has
it again, but I do have a gram. Thanks DM.
You're welcome. You're the best.
I try. You're the, you're the best,
you're the best. Lucky you guys are just counted
climbed up some Cliffs here too and made it to the base of some
engraved stairs and squalid report it back after scouting
ahead. Saying that there were some
large birds beating their faces into the ground and there was an
even larger bird up in the sky and there's also a cave ahead.
Yes. And you guys were on the search
for the hermit in the mountain. What was the hermit going to
tell us about you were hoping about the tree that had
disappeared from titty sprinkles because he was the one sending?
other not acolytes necessarily, but kind of the words Escape me.
Oh, the, those people that they go on a religious Journey,
pilgrims is that is that the right word, oh, groans?
Yeah. To the tree.
To seek Enlightenment and such wasn't there.
Also, something about he knew something.
Because we're going to. What's the name of the town?
Like the city were going to to help save Gaga.
Gaga. Yeah.
So he knows something about the because I listen to the episode
I missed where we were talking about why we're even going to
see The Hermit and he like knows something that's going to help
us when we get there. Or was it just about the tree?
You guys were speculating some different things, that's for
sure. All right, that's what I
remember specifically. Remember like talking to him was
going to help us when we got to go got like talking to him was
more beneficial to going to gargon without talking to him.
Hmm. Yeah.
It was supposed to be like, he's going to tell us more about the
tree. He knows maybe why it
disappeared and if maybe the tree is linked to The
Disappearance of cargo, Can you guys hear my eating?
Don't want to be like that person.
No, I definitely do not like I just think like, like swallowing
water is like the worst sounding thing on like a podcast.
You could imagine. It's like that's not as some
more. That's what I mean it is, but
have you seen someone how many videos have been part of people
swallowing water are there? People who enjoy the sound of
people. Swallowing water, are might be
Psychopaths, and you might be able to take out some terrorists
there. But that's just, you know,
that's just me. I don't have those same the same
problems, but I can see where you're going with it.
I mean, it is a little unsettling, I always go back to
my silly Youth and think of it as other things, so that's just
me. Anyways, we threw you guys are
finishing up a meal too. If I remember, and sitting here
on this Cliff, I don't know what you guys ate.
Eight. Actually, but you did sing a
song to for Asha. If you don't do recall, was a
Bartok song of rest that you had some time to think about.
I don't know if you actually came up with something for that
or not, son of a bitch. Tell you the week.
I've had. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay. It's only Tuesday.
Yeah. I figured it.
No, I mean, like last week like The accumulation of events that
has happened or was I there last week?
You've been here both? Yeah, you've been here the last
two sessions before the Sioux. So yeah.
Okay. Okay.
Tonight Beyond most. Yeah, I got you.
So I'm assuming you time is up if we're like resting and eating
and stuff. I think to went up all of these
clips, we fought in that battle and now we're resting.
I think I'm probably no longer able, which is unfortunate
because I wasted all that time trying to get up the cliffs as a
wolf, but that's okay. Ours, comes a short rest are
long rest, Mark something, I think that was what we determine
last time there. Yeah, but because that you're
not up to being able to do a long rest with your bartek
dressed yet. Because that's something you
will be though. Yes, you guys get a short dress
and I believe you get an additional die.
I believe it's a one date. It dies to what?
To your health. That's like temporary did that
last time? No, it's permanent and I mean
until you take damage it. Yeah, it's for the rest.
It's it's like hey I'm going to sing you a song.
We're going to sit down and we're going to enjoy this rest
in. My music is is super healing and
basically while you guys are listening to it, you guys just
get an additional one d8 to your health.
Yeah, I'm saying I think I already wrote that last time.
Yeah, I was responding to To school.
Oh, I must have missed. Yeah.
What you guys doing and if she can't move, but currently you're
standing at the base of some stairs that are engraved in the
side. There that go up to a another
Landing about basically that you can see so and as little words
as possible, mimei is going to volunteer because because mimei
is a little and sneaky and we know that there are giant Birds
up above, they're going to volunteer to like climb up the
stairs and and go get a better look and see how easy it is to
get. We know there's a cave up there,
right? Because Squall, scouted ahead.
Yeah. I mean or pass without a trace
on me, man. Okay.
Wait. Is that on one person or it
could not. Is that like a square footage?
Range is self? Yeah.
You can only cast it on yourself.
Wait wait wait. No, it's creature.
You choose in 30 feet of you. What?
That's weird. It does say, bring it does.
Say range self, though. Yeah, it's weird.
All of you are gonna cool. Yeah, I guess that would be how
it would work because it says for the duration each creature
you choose within 30 feet of you.
So basically you guys all have to stay within 30 feet of of
Thea and there's this kind of bending of light and creating of
Track track. Yeah.
Cool. Let's form a conga line behind
the and make her way up the stairs.
Yeah, but some participants are Maracas away.
Say that again? See ya some perceptive person.
That knows what they're doing. Should go ahead of me though.
Who is this? That's tough guy.
Change my outfit. Thanks, I'm pretty perceptive.
I can go first. All gonna do a sneaky.
My possible. Perceptions 15.
Nice. So is 9 times a whopping 10
01:17? Well?
I'm imagining this conga line is us being sneaky and then like
she is in the back. Like dinging a Conga song.
I'm I'm like, I'm almost tempted to roll against she is ability
to like withhold bringing out her maracas.
Roll for willpower. Yeah, when you said she's in the
back, I'm stuck.
I've hit a black map wall. And confirm.
The passing years ago. Yeah, it's not okay.
Yeah I did think about he there that he pointed out that it all
became to clear the soon as you get there.
I wanted to see something that's called The Cave.
Oh, this is my friend. Giant bald eagle.
Just roll a stealth check for me.
Everyone. Plus 10 bonus here, not a saving
throw or like a across the top thing.
It's a stitch. This is It's a sneaky.
It's the one that's. It's not a checks pretty yeah,
someone roller 24 me. I got you.
Yeah, you're in here now to I can roll it actually from the
Indie Beyond here so that it has your modifiers because I don't
want to do that to you. Oh you have your modifier
probably too. So I was I was like I just
remembered So you're standing there all and
your you've, you're just inside of the range that you need to
be. That you can tell, especially
you Squall, you're just at the end, one of your feathers kind
of poke out for a second but he like, whoop, and you're standing
there at the edge of this cave and there's this giant bird that
you had noticed. As you told everyone in front of
the not, not directly in front of the cave necessarily.
He's know hundreds of feet up and you can still see his shadow
on the ground. And he seems to be circling in
front of the cave though and around and back towards the
birds that are farther off in the distance, on the ground,
slamming their faces into it. Okay.
Oh weird. So I understand.
There's certain things you probably can't tell me but like
If you want to know what something, if you're trying to
figure out, like, if you're looking up at that bird and you
have you want to try to see what it is that you don't and I
don't, you don't know maybe you're trying to figure it out
like you're saying roll a perception for me.
Okay. Cuz I'm serious, you know, it
was not a burden of your presence, sorry, their school,
my seven was only percent wrong perception.
Was only 70 know. I was like, if you could like
point me in like a like a like a guiding hand to be like this is
a good or bad idea because like I have the ability to speak with
animals. I'm a bird, he's a bird or it's
a bird. So like Like we use a bird.
Yeah, I like that. We're all birds bird.
Like bonds, if I could see if this guy's hostile or not, or to
see if it's hostile or not. So, with your pretty good idea
with your perceptions, if that's what you're trying to perceive
in that, appreciate appreciate your description of that at
least. So now, it gives me an a better
idea of what you're trying to do.
If you're noticing the, the bird does just seem to be kind of
gliding about, doesn't seem to be just with your understanding
of flight, obviously, as well, it doesn't seem to be on the
hunt necessarily almost like he's protecting something.
Okay, I would probably like to like relay that to the group
like, hey guys, like it doesn't look like he's actively
searching for food, but maybe like defending its area and some
way. So maybe I can You think the
cave leads us closer to the hermit?
I mean, if I were a Hermit living in the mountains, I would
live in a cave I would assume it's the eagle is protector of
the bird. Sorry the bird is protecting it.
There's something you know in there we want to look at yeah, I
mean if we're like worst case scenario like we do end up
agitating it, I can always talk to it and see if we can amend
any wrongs. We may commit said, we cause a
distraction because I can do that to lead them away from the
cave. I think, like I said, he's nor,
I don't know, I don't think he's noticed us.
Yeah. If you think if we keep being
sneaky, I would just try to go in if he's not.
Especially yeah. Like if we're being sneaky, I
think would be okay. Yeah, I think we're going to go.
We should do it now. Well it's still haven't noticed
us. Haha period.
Yes. And if we do caused any offense
I can always use a diplomatic approach and speak with it.
And I like that. I imagine got those doing that
thing. That like cartoon animals.
Do whether like bun in the new? And they're sneaking just like
on his like finger tips. Gunther is Scooby-Doo.
Hmm. Rawr.
Okay, we're sneaking in into the cave, okay?
That would be another stealth check for me, everyone.
I got you here. Plus 10.
Oh, hell yeah. I don't know.
I'm sneaky motherfucker. You can't see me.
Okay, you guys sneaky for a whole hour?
Yeah. 24:29 Gunther keys.
Getting there now. Like lead some bird seed on the
ground. Just kidding, that's not in my
inventory. I also don't think we want this
bird on the ground is like 100 feet up, right?
Oh, I don't know. Yeah, he's 100 feet up and big.
Mmm. Good call.
But we know from experience with Squall that if things go bad, we
just need to throw bread crumbs in the opposite direction.
But swallow the key is, you can't follow them.
We lose school because he yeah. There we go.
All right. Slowly getting everyone dropped
in here. I think we got.
Where is me? Met in relation to me?
Are you guys walking it in the front?
I don't know. I was just dropping people.
This is the, the challenge honestly of doing it like this.
I know they're it's a request for astral but and they might
work on it is like teleporting triggers, you know, like the
things you guys press and open boxes and such that you'd be
able to like press on something on the like a Dory like this and
be able to go to another map. The problem with putting Maps
inside Maps. Is is layering and dead.
It's it gets even complicated than that simple.
Just like teleport to another map and it's the same reason
that video games you know have different Maps because it also
gets too big at a certain point. From a, from just a size of the
freaking map. It starts getting laggy.
My extension and but even at the same time, I feel like just
having maybe, like, 1.1 trigger would be good enough because,
you know, I was talking about that if it's all in the same
map. So that's why you have to create
separate Maps. A lot of the time.
Because you can't by putting it on the same map.
It gets too laggy. That's, that's the point I was
trying to make and that you would be able to just like walk
through a point and then be in another map.
You know what I mean? Without me having to drop you,
if you click on a button like you're talking about, which is a
separate thing, I know they're kind of related in this topic
because that's where I was, I was trying to get it to, but
there they, there there's different solution to the same
problem. Basically.
But we've got do I get everybody over here?
Okay, even got shit right there, mimei.
Squall, zef, a drill gun. Te the and the Beebe.
Yeah, I was wondering what's going to happen to him.
I saw him lingering there in the rocks.
Oh, you don't, you don't see even though I'm not supposed to.
Yeah. Okay, confined spaces.
Who's claustrophobic me technically?
Squall is the are crooked people don't like being in caves.
Maybe it has a high ceiling there.
What are the dimensions of this particular?
Right? Guys, it's about 25% to the top
right now and 25 feet across it Narrows and varies in height
obviously, too. Because it's a uncut Corridor
kind of Natural Cave of ice that seems to be forming through out
there. That's a large forming of grass,
and as you enter that chamber, it seems to warm up and almost
become a little steamy. As there's a waterfall behind
the grass that you can see just a literal way.
I'm Gonna Roll Up perception to see if I can perceive if there's
anything in the grass. It looks like fur.
I was really excited was hoping it was going to be forever but
it's okay. You don't see anything in
particular in the grass beside some bugs that actually seem to
find the area nice, because it is warmer than the rest of those
around that you've been and it is a relaxing area, it doesn't
seem to be at all. Can I see me?
Maze bag whatever, whatever pouch that carry whatever.
I don't know. If it's like a satchel.
I don't do you just want to look at it or do you want to hold it?
I think that relinquishing actually no.
He is asking, I think he is asking what it is that you use
to hold all of your stuff because if it's visible and
whether or not it's visible correct, I have a backpack.
On your back. That should be visible.
Yes, yeah. How tall is this grass?
It's probably about four, four and a half feet.
So me met. When you walk towards the center
of it, people would see you disappear.
Basically, to the until they can see you come out the other side.
You said it's warm in here and the water seems to be warm.
Mmm, Maybe it's going to jump in the water with your right back
fully clothed everything. Yeah.
Baby dolls. My backpack of my backpack on
the ground are concerned. What people are asking questions
about my backpack? I'm not like something that's
fitted and you're gonna start off start swimming, you feel,
you know, I'm just gonna like hang out on the side.
I don't want to swim. I just want to like be in the
water so to I know. This is normal, mimei,
characteristics. You're just jumping in, right?
You're not like sitting on the edge dangling, your feet in the
water. No, no, jump that.
Okay, I put my backpack down because I want the contents to
be ruined, but I just jump in not to like, venture out or
Swim. I just want to like be in the
water and get wet. All right, and the water is even
surprisingly warmer than the rest of the room.
Almost sauna ask you feel a complete sense of relaxation and
springs happy. Mmm in water.
And if you have any health that you're missing or spell slots or
anything like that, then they are rejuvenated.
I knew it Gunther's. Do it.
I'm gonna take my gear off and jump in as well.
So I don't have to pour any of the fun blue liquid in here but
I would suggest if anybody has a water skin they fill it with
this water. This one is opposed to the other
one which was bubbling in blue. This one is crystal clear.
And smells I see even though it doesn't have a cold senses to it
interesting. Dude, how tall for a hot second?
Grab the crystal, Apple has backpack the one from like 20
sessions ago and I roll of perception.
See, if I noticed this happening, what I was going to
say is you are going to be a role, a sleight of hand and but
do I get the +10 from the snakes or no?
Did you? Dispel it?
Because I think it is concentration.
So, are you guys came in? You felt relaxed.
I'm assuming otherwise no one would be seeing you currently
either or really noticing you because they wouldn't be able to
see you visibly as they looking back at it.
No, it doesn't look like it. Yes, concentration.
So I was assuming you would drop your concentration on that by
that point but I don't know. Well it's this is dexterity
checks. Not sleight of hand.
Sleight of hand is the dexterity and your perception would be
weighed against her sleight-of-hand.
Basically, their Mimi is what I was going.
So do I need to roll perception. So you can roll perception.
Yes. So you just want this to be
straight sleight of hand or unless you're that's what it was
at asking. It could you could have your
modifier if you're being like that.
But also you could try to play it off is another thing.
This is completely hats off thing.
Obviously, when you're stealing stuff, you don't want to be like
I didn't take anything, you know?
Yeah, well my intention was to do pass Without a Trace and then
have that Carrie A over but also I'm kind of intrigued if we just
if we just do a straight roll I'm kind of intrigued little
happen. All right.
Straight roll. I got a 1200, a man.
So me way. You see Thea lean up against the
edge of this Rock 10 Bank making.
Basically that was the edge of the pool of the waterfall and
kind of brush against your sack, but you don't really think
anything of it. You know, you trust her.
At this point. Do I grab it?
Yes. You get you get the crystal that
you're aiming for, okay? Cassidy feels so bad but the has
excited hats off. You could you could have just
asked me and I'm just I know I know but I don't know what I'm
going to use a lot more. I feel like media is gonna be an
ass about it and I debated it and I felt like that was what
she would do. What I notice anything.
Some time down here, too. You could roll the perception
check. I would say, with the slight
disadvantage, considering your distance away, it doesn't
matter, I rolled Nate. So you'd notice the same thing
that Mimi had basically and you're you're less even less
worried about it, I guess because it's not my shit.
That sounds like a zeff thought to me, but yeah.
That's all, that's all I take. I don't there's nothing else.
Like I'm not trying to steal from her.
I'm just really interested in the apple and then I guess I'll
jump into and that that's the end of that she can you see your
Discord chat? Yeah.
This is what she is sheets. She is.
She's after coming in past the entrance of the Cave, the where
Thea is standing. You can kind of see if you click
on the image there that I sent in, it is just right at the edge
of the pool of the waterfall. That's just beyond that point.
And we're Squall is, is just the beginning of that grass.
I just wanted to give you an opportunity.
If you wanted to do anything, I see ID, really were just
ignoring all of you everybody. So I'm assuming you'd heard
people going in and splashing about me.
Like, I don't care. Water.
Nope, I'm I'm gonna jump into. Yeah, it's real kind of like
immediately went the other direction because you wanted to
peek around this corner and like see was over here to see be good
like You see it like an idea, a much larger Cavern in front of
you. Also a nice much colder than
even the entrance where you were standing and where your friend
the rest of your friends had gone.
There is a pillar of rock that doesn't seem to go quite to the
silly ceiling there, but it is sticking out of what almost
appears as a frozen floor out in front of you.
It dry like my foot out. See if it's sturdy to walk on.
You can tell that it is solid but it is also nice.
Most certainly at that point, so you can slide across it.
If you were to try or we run and all I can see is just like, yes,
like nothing else. Yep.
So not. Okay, I'm gonna come back over
here. This water is warm right?
Yep. I'm gonna reach over to my
backpack like still in the water but just like reaching over the
edge and I'm going to grab a gold mushroom and I'm going to
break it in half and then I'm going to break that half and
half again and throw it in the water and like kind of like
Splash it towards the Do eat it. I'm going to eat the one half of
the half like the 1/4, okay, I'll leave the other half then
if I grab it. Rolly perception or AB that
perception? Yes.
You have to perceive know, roll with Constitution.
It's what I was trying to say. I like how to get one relaxing
moment and you guys are like break out the fucking mushrooms
like and smell. So, see you got a 10 with a
constitution? Yeah, not great and zeff.
You got a 15. I see it now.
So as Fu, you take the mushroom and you get a slight sense of
numbness in your mouth and as it slides down your throat just a
along with the happiness that's have happening from the Warm
Springs washing over you. You just get this mellow feeling
of it's nice. Fear, you kind of get a little
anxious. You look behind, but though, and
you find fine Gunther and start start petting him again and
comfort. As you guys all trip starts
dripping and and the The happy mellow
Sensation that zeff was feeling washes, slowly, slowly washes
over you starting in your toes, and tie gives up a thumbs up.
I give it an eye drop back. Can we see what it's like at the
top of the waterfall? Or is it to steep the there?
It's basically a cliff face up to the top and the waterfall
seems to be coming out of the ceiling as to what you can tell.
There isn't a top to the waterfall.
Okay. How tall is it about 15 or so
feet? Were there's a crack that it's
coming out of the ceiling a wide crack.
It's probably 10 feet wide crack that it's just gushing out of
it. But He's F, do you still have
those boots that make you jump really high?
I mean, I think I have some, yeah.
You want to see what's at the top of this waterfall, I feel
like nothing in here. Should be warm.
Can't be natural. Don't we really just swimming in
a Giant's, piss, if it's healing.
That's fine. Yeah, I hear ya.
I hear, I hear pisses is pretty good for healing to so I mean
it's sterile so oh, do not tell me.
This is like coming from Zenith or just like in her Downstream.
Hey, I'm just saying that a second ago, we were in the
frozen, icy Tundra mountains and now the water is hot.
There are too many explanations for that.
So there are all kinds like it comes from the center of the
whatever planet or on geothermal.
Hot Springs are thing and mountains, specially mountains,
at least, they are, you know, normal and in the world we know.
But I do have the jumping boots and I don't know.
Will they get me to the top of this of this here?
Cliff face? I don't know how tall that is.
Good world. Roll a Athletics.
Oh no. Look, that.
I mean, we could just be blissfully unaware.
That's also fun. I have acrobatics would have
been great, but I thought X is not.
I also can give the boots to somebody, if someone else wants
to try. I mean I don't try I did I say
Athletics, I meant more acrobatics.
I get those two confused freaking all the time, don't I?
It's okay. Now I'm like butter I'm on a
roll. Well, hurry up and somebody tell
those Indians because it's intense.
Now, Spring. So you get up to the you spring,
you see, you step off the edge of this.
Pool before it gets to before you step into the water again
after getting off and kind of shaking off, unless you can kind
of like a dog. And you jump up straight to the
edge right before the water starts to get there.
So you're able to walk along its Edge and you kind of peek your
head just around where there's a little bit of a hole.
To find a chamber in just oh well chamber inside. oh, okay.
Is that a? I'm not really sure what I'm
looking at. You should watch what happens.
So, what's up? I feel like like the Book of
Revelations if you heard like the descriptions of the angels
from The Book of Revelation. So they have like 20 eyes and
like spinning flaming Wheels. They got to the angels are like
it's not that but it's similar where I need description.
I give you is not going to describe.
What's up here? Well, I'll show you.
Was that you? I really high.
I can't tell if that was you, or if I'm just be a career What you
were what you're able to kind of gather.
As you stick your head into their, you can start the
presumably start crawling in there and Intrigue to like woo
and you see a very familiar gemstone?
And it's surrounded by fire. Okay?
I thought this was fire. I was like, I don't know if this
is fire or some weird mushroom or familiar gemstone.
Like are sizable or heat Stones. I'm guessing It's purple, but it
looks like it's blue in the center.
Are there any trees up there? I don't think so.
If this is fire, So is it completely surrounded by fire?
Is there any way for me to get close to it?
Where the water is kind of going across it in front of you.
There is a gap in the fire. That is continually putting that
piece of fire out. So your small form could squeeze
in between the flames and they brush up against you licking the
sides of your cloth and drying you as you walk past.
If you were to So I'm gonna like go into the water as much as I
can. Right?
So hopefully only my head or even not even my head if I have
to like, dipping below the water.
I don't know how to how well deep it is to get close to the
gemstone and I'm gonna Touch it like like I'm gonna pick it up
and hold it and I'm going to assume that my the Ring of
resizing is going to make it a reasonable size for me.
And that's exactly what it does and it is warm to the touch,
almost too hot that you can't. You don't want to hold on to it.
But it's you can tell when you switch hands, you know, huh?
It actually hasn't done you any damage and wouldn't it's your
kind of telling it's just a sensation that it has on you
first. Really, I'm still gonna like,
pull up the bottom, like the bed, bottom of my shirt, you
know, people like old things in their shirt, going to make a
little pocket. Look at kangaroo pouch, bottom
of my shirt, and hold it in there.
And it is Resize to the palm of your hand though.
Cool. So when I do that, does the fire
go away? This is there any effect to
extinguish? Just just, that means the water
stops being warm. The massive it downwards there
over there not but see you can start to feel the cold.
Permeating, the water now, I can't little worried.
Yes, I don't know if I want to take this fits gonna I don't
know what secondary effects are going to happen.
Can I like, yell down to everybody?
You also have your torque Ah, yeah.
So I'm going to use. The torque is a found found a
gemstone Ivar Crystal. I picked it up, but now they're
the, it's a source. It's the source of the heat in
this room. Should I take it if I take it?
The Heats gonna cease to be? What do we think?
Clearly, when there is it like the one Is it like the hot
gemstones we found before like on top of that Tower?
We're like the tree burst into flames and then there was the
crystal left. I'm gonna assume that's the only
Has really long time ago. Because it's not red.
Weren't those ones red. I think they were purple too.
Okay, that's not there. Yeah I would assume this is the
same kind guys maybe were killing killing the land by
taking these Stones Sofia has casted produce.
Flame is a can trip and is simultaneously warming, the
water but she's also high so she's like that's it.
But she hears that. And who said that it might be
like the tree that we saw before.
Was that zip or she? Yeah.
Well, I think she had mentioned there being a tree.
I just asked if it was like the same hot stones that we found
before from the tree. Yeah, I kind of feel like I
should leave it here. I don't want to like disturb the
natural order of this cave. I mean, I know we use them for
energy. Like to transfer like to go up
like they're an energy source and we use them pretty frivolous
frivolously in the Crystal Tower.
So You can't I don't know. I don't know what to think
that's a good point, but at the same time I'm thinking about how
we, how the God use them and may, God didn't really seem to
care about them. Oh, just to let everyone know.
I read that growth book. The Zenith gave me and the whole
book was basically about trees. The whole book was about trees
that trees that allow you to transport two different
locations. So I'm stuck on this tree thing.
I think there might be more to a lot of the trees that we've been
seeing. So trees, man, but there's no
tree here. Its water.
We got a crystal from a frog, too.
If you remember. Yeah, that wasn't a hot Crystal.
Yeah, swap. Pick that one up.
I have two Cold Stones. Yeah, Mimi has.
I don't have my hot stone anymore.
I think I gave mine to the chick we stole Gunther from.
Mimi has the green Crystal Apple from the blue tree release me my
thinks they do on a cold purple Crystal okay, if you think it's
unrelated then, Then take it or don't take it.
But so does that feel like Mimei is not going to want to disturb
the natural order of this place. Like if I'm going to take away
the hot springs because I remove this Crystal be met is going to
put it back, unless you guys are like overwhelmingly in favor of
taking the crystal while you guys are debating.
And while you're turning back around to place the crystal on
the floor in a, another one seems to have been not
coalescing, almost as if it, there was like a small drip, Or.
Slight. Oozing almost even if you will
and to there is a another small, much smaller, almost pea-sized
Crystal of the same make and such forming where you were and
the heat starts to return. into that little space but much
smaller than it was and it it, but it does seem to like I said,
beat Almost growing with that that dripping, there's like a
using drip to it. That's closing around it.
Okay, that makes me feel better. Okay, so I'm gonna add some.
Okay? So with that, maybe it's going
to keep the hot purple Crystal. Like the thing that well mimei
goes and like picks up the Crystal and then turns around
and sees the baby Crystal. Instead of like the logic thing
of like, oh, they regrow her immediate thought is just or its
immediate thought is like, it wasn't, it was a what it was a
mother, like the crystal that you pluck.
It was like a mother and left like a little baby Crystal but
Nature finds a way. I'm sorry life finds a way.
I'm just going to look up at the top of the waterfall in cast,
plant growth, and Maybe nothing happens, maybe something happens
but I'm just gonna let plants start to grow in this like
warmer Cavern. What are you saying?
Because it's I got feels got some real fun spells, herbal and
semantics. I would like to imagine that
she's speaking in Elvish language, so she's just kind of
muttering like in an incantation edges.
So you know, there's a lot of fun Elven text out there but
Yeah. So as your as your let the Fire
Spell. Dissipate your look up at the
waterfall. Having heard what mimei said I
guess and alarm and shock and the explanation.
They gave you look up at the waterfall and then you cast with
just a wave of your hands as well and the grass behind you
that actually is reflected in the waterfall.
You are looking at and just gets astronomical even in the
reflection. To the point where it's now a
veritable Forest of grass in this room.
Is it beautiful yet? Ba Mei.
Is it green? Is it pretty?
Um, it'll get there. I think it's pretty.
I'm gonna get out of the water and get my stuff and just go lay
in the grass. Yeah, I mean it's going to jump
down there. Going to exit this little little
area now. Content, Josh.
Yeah. do you need another visual update or Yeah, I'm really a
visual thing. Is there any kind of Direction
in this cave? Because I'm gonna take a gather
that she is going to be totes. Not, okay.
With, Just chillin like villains, that's it because he's
trying to give you those visual updates every now and again
there I got you music. I'm chillin like a villain.
Yeah, good job. I didn't make the grass you're
laying in but thanks I moved. You slightly forward so that way
you're in the giant grass Forest now but that way you had a
better view of the waterfall where mimei disappeared up into
Not sure if that helps. You make any other decisions
there. But are you talking to me?
Yes. You see it in the chat there?
Okay. Pretty quiet through this.
Experience of you're watching your two friends, get high and
another one climb up into a waterfall.
I've just been kind of watching and observing just, you know,
still being in the cave. Not super Super stoked.
So I'm just, you know, looking around a little uncomfortable.
Like okay guys, where's there a minute?
You want to mushroom? It'll help you relax.
It'll give you a bad trip. Yeah, tripping usually isn't
good for flying, get in the water.
It feels nice. Hmm.
It's looking good in the grass, it's soft and comfortable.
You don't like bird baths. It's not that I don't, it's
just, you know, it's warm here but it's it's not going to be
warm anywhere else and I throw some breadcrumbs in the water.
I'm still pretty full. I think, you know I like I think
you're gonna have to roll a I'll have to think about this one for
half second here. A constitution saving throw.
Probably to see whether or not. You can kind of resist this.
Yeah, that's fair. All right.
Mother. I don't know if you're throwing
these breadcrumbs or anything beyond just throwing pretty
actively seductively. just before it even touches the
water and just pick it up in your claws and just oh, I feel
like this is horrible and you were being horrible.
Yeah. Nemo and it smells blood.
Yes information. Right now.
It's like the same thing from now on.
I'm just gonna leave a trail of breadcrumbs now.
Just kidding. No, it's all good.
That is not one of my flaws and our country distracted by the
promise of bread. And when you settle your I
wanted to say Klaus, but they're the feet of a birder called
something else challenge. Yeah.
Talons down into the water. You feel refreshed and relaxed
in your thinking to yourself. Why did I want to do?
This is bread is nice. This water is warm.
Mmm. It's a bird.
So and you get if you don't recall any spell slots you had
back and you feel well rested. We could spell slots back.
Yeah, yes I test all the Spells you take back.
Oh yeah. What about key point?
Punch things again. Yeah.
Oh yeah. I was trying to get to my unmute
button. Okay?
So just this Cavern like look like it's just like a dead end
to the what like this. I mean it doesn't seem to go
anywhere once you're in here. Okay so I guess I visibly saw
the other group members kind of get refreshed so just hear their
size of yeah so I like step in the water.
I'm assuming she is going to say, you do to this point.
If I don't see anything, then I like begrudgingly like step in
and then like wash my arm, you know, like kind of like that
quick, like, okay. Like we just climbed up a
mountain, like I'll just rinse off.
But then like, what's got, you know, and then you can describe
like, I'll kind of step out like I'll do something.
Similarly, and then seeing this is A dead end and the other one
was larger. I couldn't necessarily see where
stuff went and both of you. As you would kind of You didn't
say whether or not you would stepped in necessarily she a.
But I definitely heard that wordage from a drill so as soon
as you have been kind of hmm I stepped in.
Okay so as soon as you both have you instantaneously forget even
all of those worries or thoughts of needing to be anywhere.
You're just here in the moment and you really appreciate it.
The other case you don't forget but it goes to the back of your
mind as if I will get there. This is nice.
You know I'm not about bitch. Yeah, I am sorry.
Just like just like starts floating on casting produce
flame again high as fuck. Like it's real.
Shh, look at this like my eyes. It's like, Is it moving?
Or is it me? Magic.
So fun. Me me.
What you doing up in your Cavern up there?
I would like to come down. Okay, roll in a what did we say,
acrobatics? That's what it is. 13.
I'd say you'd succeed in whatever your wherever you were
attempting to land. Jump.
Is there more grass the grass Grew, From, what you would call
what, from the like, it. Can I harvest some?
Yeah, absolutely. So I have a sickle ever you like
Yeah, I'm gonna Harvest some grass.
Okay, I would say eat is four times your height, now it
because it's reaching the ceiling.
So, 14 times my height. Yeah.
Okay. I'm not sure how you want to go
about this, but so I'm gonna cut it down with my sickle and I'm
going to weave it. Some like it's going to look
like rope. Okay, so you have a grass Crown
to make way. Yeah right foot rope is the or
rather somewhere around there considering the actual height of
the grass as you do it. I will say Not sure if you want
to make this into a regular thing because if you do you can
obviously make that a skill like we've talked about to.
But I would say for this first time Beyond you know how to
harvest. So I'm not even going to worry
about that as a skill. Check you take the sickle out
and you get cut some grass. But for the weaving of it, I
would say probably a just a dexterity generally.
With your normal bonus, which it looks like it's a three on
Astro, but I don't know. That's plus 4.
Okay, so on, you got it on. DND Beyond.
So you are successful and making it into a somewhat taught and
it's definitely stronger than each of them would have been on
themselves. By themselves.
You know, you're easily. It'd be easy to hold any one of
you probably as a rope head but it is like 12-foot about that
like that. Yeah, so it's more just to like,
hold it in place. I think there might be used for
later. I mean, I think it would be
better as like a rug or a mat of some sort.
But I think it'll be easier to carry if it's a like woven like
a rope instead I don't intend to use it like a rope but so Is
this braid or weaving going to work?
Are you just going to take? Like so that's that's the key.
I'm only asking because if your Harvesting a good bit of it than
you would have multiple coils is.
What I was trying to get gather here.
So if your Harvest. Yeah.
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna like braid it, you're right.
So I'm going to take the different strands I'm going to
braid it, and it's going to be however many coils and I'm going
to like carry it, you know, across my shoulder.
I'm thinking like Indiana Jones style kind of, I'm gonna like
Loop it, put it over my head and it's gonna go over one shoulder
and across my back that makes sense.
It makes sense as to at least one coil, maybe even two, but I
could imagine you struggling with three of these twelve foot
things. That's cute.
She gets like whenever she gets like Goods like had scratches,
she does this weird, like grunting See if she's sleeping
or waking her up because she woke me up from my nap, she
don't get one. so, I mean as I said you have no problem
harvesting them it's the dexterity check for how well you
leave it. Well so I'm gonna I'm gonna look
around and be like does anybody anybody want to want to help me
carry this I can. Because you could I figured what
you were doing was your like rolling it up like a coil of
rope to and like stuffing it in your sack.
Okay, I'm third could probably carry some things.
He looks like he's slacking. Yeah, I don't know if anybody
else has any value in this, but I mean, I could I could put as
much as I can inside my backpack.
If somebody else, anybody else want some, they can take it.
It's pretty full of forgot about that.
It doesn't have to go in a bag. You can like carry it over your
shoulder? I don't know.
Whatever. So I would say beyond what had
actually what you'd harvested and how you kind of Patchwork
them together and some of what you would, you know, you'd laid
it down, you'd gathered some strands and you'd coiled them
up. You made a coils in that first
try. Oh, geez.
Okay, cool. She turns to Thea and goes, can
you make them flowers? We can make like a bread,
something really awesome flowers or okay like socios medicine,
maybe she liked towels, Archie has medicine.
So maybe she tells the like go can you like produce this this
this and they're like, Help with like healing.
Hi Cass. Because I'm sitting in water in
this water and I assume my spell slots just don't mean anything.
I guess plant growth again on the prowl.
Oh and no on the rope on the Rope.
Okay. Yeah.
What little flowers to bloom but it might get out of control.
It's up to you. I'm just trying to think of what
coming up with stuff on the spot.
Sometimes is a struggle as well. I only on the Rope, you know,
I'm gonna cast you in on the rest of the right guy in here.
Holding like I'm trying to keep it contained but I don't know
what, let's see, what happened. Maybe he gets viney or
something. I don't know.
Hopefully there's some flowers. It probably is too much but I'm
also high. So you know, Doing my best, I
would say just roll. I'm going back to the spell to
here, to see if there is anything that it's mentioned
here. Now that I'm doing an
incantation, I'm focusing on flower buds, okay?
But if you want me to roll something, no, we can see what
happens. I'm just, I was just trying to
think on multiple levels here to, I was just going back to
that to make sure that what I'm sort of thinking, I guess makes
some sense to so You do such and there are small, little buds of
grass flower, that seems to propagate at the various tips
where they end on each grass blade as as per normal grass
almost. But they slowly start to get a
little larger. and they are a yellowish Almost White
coloration and they are Or would have been barely visible.
Had they been their normal size so that at this point they're
probably the size of me. Maze pinky fingernail.
No. I give she a two thumbs up.
She giggles and insight and excitement.
Are you wearing it like like Indiana Jones or are you?
Is it, do you have it in a flower cup?
Feel like Cuz she grabbed a probably a decent amount of it.
Whatever you guys didn't want, so, I'm going to say that she's
probably like is wrapped around like a scarf.
It's like a scarf that like starts in one end and then she
kind of keeps rapping it and like, kind of comes off hursley.
So it turns into almost like a shock Oh, everyone's covered in
Plants. I love it.
We should we should grab another one of those stones and put it
in the water and make a hot tub. Like super hot bath water.
You could aren't you trying to save a village also?
Well no I forgot all my worries. Josh said you, you do feel them
start to creep back. As soon as he had mentioned
something now A coffee is more Central or something like that.
Yeah we should probably get going soon.
I guess. We can make a hot tub though,
produce flame, and be relaxed for 5 more minutes.
And then I'm gonna take out my skin and take a swig of it.
Okay. And I got that money for the
constitution on that. Nice.
What's in it? You just you just swing it back
water. Definitely, I watch her.
Swing it and I like go to the I'm like oh I like to shoot.
She softly whisper. That's what I thought you meant.
Yeah. Relaxation mode.
Was he thinking about? Yeah, the water starts to see
the water starts turning blue. No, just joking.
Must be some more magic or shit. Hold on.
I'm going to cast something. I just had a lot of shit.
I have to look at it. I'm gonna because spells don't
mean anything right now. I'm going to cast conjure
animals and I'm going to make two giant eagles that are eating
bread with school. Oh yeah.
Just because I don't want you to feel bad about the fact that you
were forced to eat bread, that's all good.
Well as opposed to doing that, I mean actually putting those in
there and editing the map for you there.
I had something else that was going to do here which you hear
a slithering coming up the corridor as if a motherfucker
fits basileus, I'm out Giant. Scaly individual is sliding
along the corridor and then they slide through the grass and you
just hear a thing. And you see this wicked
snake-like creature slide into the room and go up with its
wings spread, right at the entrance and goes well, hello
Ram rollers. How do you know her name?
Oh God. Do you guys need that hearse?
Yeah, it's kind of hard to digest.
What were we looking for? Not that and this is the thing
in the cave, you know, something about trees, maybe hopefully
call me Miss Mimi's, gonna get as close as they dare and just
look at them and be like, you're beautiful.
Awful. Oh God.
She's still tripping me. Maybe it's not tripping.
I'm still laughing it for the trees about the trees but
nothing in the cave. Wait are we gonna talk?
I'll just I'm going to be like you're not the hermit by any
chance are You. Approach me, May the snake
creature hisses, boughs its head and you honor me.
Thank you. And you and response school.
Yeah, I know of them, but I am not them.
Unfortunately, you've wandered into the midst of the caverns
inside the mountains, you should go to the top.
As you've been told, I can show you the way.
Okay, inside the 10 and while you're doing that.
And while they're doing that, she is going to go the skilled
of one to ten. How much should we trust you on
that? Because I'm guessing she is
still feels good. Oh yeah.
Everybody is still very very much relaxed and while you guys
are eyeing them up the individual You almost expect
believe their female just by the internment there.
Wait a second. There's more than one there is
the nomenclature for proper. Yeah, yeah, no gender.
Yeah. I don't gender.
So, she as you perceive possibly just also perhaps because of
their beauty and their light air and tone She says, well, I
noticed you noticing me and I understand you had disregard
here, but I am here to protect you and I can attest to attest
to that for being one of the god spoken as yourselves.
But I have known more of a god Beast was you.
That of the chosen human for human forms.
More human forms. Really, you could say like way
to save your nothing. Hmm.
I said, that's a very polite ways to say this, so I'll tell
someone that they're nothing. That they're nothing.
I don't understand. Don't piss it off.
Don't piss. No.
No you're saying she's saying that like oh I'm also on this
like Godly Quest except I'm the God in your know like the chosen
that is not what she'd said. She'd said she's a god Beast,
whereas you are, God chosen. oh, Wait a second.
That doesn't sound great idea. And she just says and
perceivably you guys and see. I mean you can tell me what
you're trying to pursue Insight check but I think I remember
whether or not you can trust them basically.
And from end in general, everybody is kind of getting
this sense that this individual can't tell a lie and zeff and
Thea you both are kind of rolling back in your minds.
And you remember there are these creatures of the Gods actually
that are Chosen to receive Powers more than what they were
and become stronger and better. But for the Reliance of that
they are, they are to protect and help the God and harm.
No one basically. Do you follow a specific God?
I am over. Allah Allah says, all creatures
in this room are including the crystal behind this waterfall.
That heats my bathing pool. I trust you, I'll get out of the
poor start following. Seems legit to me.
The too high people are like, yeah, why don't ever get high?
I really just really want to touch the feathers kind of
noting that she introduces herself finally as My name is
Erin and I can tell little one. You would like to pet my soft
Downy coat and She lays down a wing for you too.
It may not vigorously and walks up and gently very gently very
carefully. That's the wing just like that
character, or, I don't know. But like, how did it go?
This thing isn't like the snake from The Jungle Book where it
talks real nice and is guys. Yeah, pretty because it has had
a, how do you because it has rendered wings, that's why.
Yeah, all of the colors. And as your go ahead, Jeff, I
wasn't that I just imagine me maybe being like, like, little
kid. When you tell them, they can
Peta poppy after. They've just been like staring
down the puppy. Was it like a face of all?
It's not even just like, yes, I'm so excited.
It's like you're so pretty. Well, I've heard School
skepticism. What have you a drill over
there? I know she you still have yet to
say anything to you. You can't quite see the
situation which I'm about to update you on visually.
So I'll get to you there. Hey, Joe.
I guess he enrolled being like, Like watching all this and he
would also roll an insight to see.
It could be get the same feeling.
Not great. You. don't quite get the same in
that you do faintly remember something, but in your culture
it wasn't so prominently talked about of the Of them being of.
So, they're prominently talked about in the sense that there
are beasts that are more power than others, and they are of the
Gods. And there are some that you can
trust in some that you can't. But for the most part, if they
follow the ones that you need, then they would probably be more
trustworthy than others. But you, you have a more than
healthy dose of skepticism of everything, considering your
past as well. So he gets out of the water when
the Beast goes up and then having hearing them talk about
what we were supposed to be doing the kind of starts to get
a clear head. And then walks over here, luck
there, towards Chia and guns. And it's like, hey, hey, we're
supposed to go find this permit to help.
Figure out what happened to this tree.
We should get going. I think we've spent enough time
here. And I believe that is why would
she is q? I would.
Yeah. I mean I would agree but if this
this creature can help then You know.
We've been struggle boxing. Our way up there, so we might be
good to have some have some help almost, we just want to get
going and I'm good either way. If the men I'm gonna go with the
majority rules, whether whatever we do with the classic skull,
Squall response. It is this Beast help.
We should be wearing So, I keep an eye on them and only tell
them what they have to know. As you guys are kind of
whispering to each other and Squall, you'd set a little bit
louder louder. Obviously, the zezernan was able
to notice and kind of slithered out there full and I can't
actually do this with her character token there just
purposely like that. But still, is it out their whole
length, kind of encompassing the whole party and says, if
everyone would like to hop on, I can slide on up to the her
straight to the hermit. And then you won't have to worry
about another thing. We get to ride.
You going to jump on it. You just said I don't have to
worry about another thing. Now, do you mean, like, any
other thing or do you just mean about, like, You know, this
hermit living up to the rest of the mountain this year, God.
Oh, you use my computer day. I see it all the power move.
I get it, skeptically steps on, and then like holds her little
hemp flowers, a little closer to her.
I'm assuming it drool and Squaw I'm not sure.
I don't know what. Yes Qualls getting it on the
snake literal little. Yeah he'll he'll follow share
both very reluctant is very much.
And you just hear her. Say hold on little ones.
And dear. Do you like stuff like that?
Which is doesn't give me a good vibe?
You work on that snake? What do you want me to do?
She's a snake with wings. Yeah just I trust You are in
front of all of my characters. Hell, am I supposed to see them
and really, you're cute? No, no, I've got a list.
Okay. Make characters plural.
Yeah, at every character that you've ever met is on the side
of my screen, if I go And if, if I want to move one from one map
to another, I have to scroll through a lot to all.
Wow. What kind of creature this is?
Is it, is it an animal? Or is it natural?
Is it? You would?
But for the life of me and I've actually looked at the floor
wise, but I'm my brain is blanking right now.
So yeah, it has a name. I can't think of what it is
either. If I know this thing has a name,
if you find it while I'm Looking and jumping Maps here.
Let me know and because I and let everybody or at least let.
Yeah just let you know because P would definitely know you like
the cat but Yeah, I think I'm not dropping.
Oh, I am. Am I dropping people?
Yeah, you guys are under the snake though.
That was weird. Wait, wait, I this is a complete
side note, but I am volunteering to walk dogs at a shelter near
me. And I have to take all these
like online courses, about like animal behavior and your cat was
Playing. Very happy to havior.
Oh yeah. She she loves but scratches, his
tail was upright, and, and turns down and not against his body.
So he's living his best life. Yeah.
The candy cane tail. Mhm.
She's very, very happy, most of the time whenever we're playing
D&D funny enough. Because Whenever I talk to, she
just comes to me. She's much more like a dog than
some ways I keep thinking, but that's not.
You probably feels comforted by your voice or something.
I could be. Yeah.
She has night terrors which is terrifying for me and probably
for her obviously to but whenever she does, I'm I just
kind of wrap her in a blanket because she all her claws are
fully extended. She's flailing dramatically and
her her mouth is open to so like I can't, there's no good way for
me to comfort her because otherwise she's just be
scratching the hell out of me. And I just it's okay, Danny, you
know, so I probably probably has what's your name?
We call it Denny, but her full name is demo2 wrong, which is
harder to say for some people. So that's why Denny Yeah if you
eliminate some of their senses and helps because it can be
overstimulating. That's definitely her.
She's a very scaredy-cat. So And gets overstimulated
easily. Do I have everyone else?
I'd love you to take your newfound knowledge cast with
Zelda and Kate eyes. I mean like I think the gist of
they're playing is that Zelda is super crazy.
High energy sleeps only about like six hours, six to eight
hours every day and a cat's normally supposed to sleep 16 to
20. And take sleeps like 20 to 24
hours a day. And so like that is like I want
to put me in Kate just like fuck off, Zelda will push tape
buttons. So it's like it's not vicious
but it's just more like an annoying sibling.
Did did that behavior change when they started living
together? Has she always been like that?
Zelda? Zelda has always been higher
energy. Yeah, neither of their behaviors
have changed since they've been living together, at least
they're coexisting, I feel like that's the best case scenario
like the video, I keep getting was so cute of them, like they
were both sitting in the window and they were just like doing
their own thing. That was so cute.
Yeah there They're cute. Every once in a while it
happens, like it's just super funny because they like, it's
like they're either play fighting or fighting because
tastes like super vocal. And so it's really hard not to
get like super concerned because like after they're done, their
tails are up and they're happy. So but it just sounds rough.
Like it just does not sound good.
Yeah but I was saying yeah like the course I had to take was all
about like body language. So I guess it would depend on
what their body language is when they're playing but afterwards,
they're fine and I mean, it's they're probably just
Socializing in their own way. I don't know.
Yeah, yep. That's at least what I'm
thinking. Hopefully because it just it
seems that it mostly seems like it's always like I want to play
and she's being real cute and has her little belly like
flopped over and she's like slightly pawing at Kate.
Then take just goes like, it's a really hard and those like well
fuck and then they start fighting and then yeah.
Just how it goes like every day. Yeah, and then we'll just call
locate around. Neither of them are used to
living with another cat so they're both probably
simultaneously adjusting and like, Eventually, we'll don't
know exactly how they're supposed to act, but like that's
probably best case scenario at this point.
Yeah. So yep.
Well, you guys experienced on the back of this on the back of
this snake. You're holding on to with as for
dear life as it picks up into the air and fly straight out of
the cave, kind of gives the Giant Eagles, almost looking
bird, an odd and Squall. You do recognize it as a rock as
you passed because it is a massive.
It is even bigger than you thought.
When you go guys, Go past it and says veteran nods, but the
zezernan circles over top of the mountain coming back down to
land in this little clearing here and she just says the
helmet is just through those trees.
The cherry blossoms there and you guys do feel.
The air was cooler up higher when you were circling around
but it warms up even though you're at the top of the
mountain here, It seems to be just a slight bit warmer, you
know, just above that freezing Mark almost in the 50 degrees
and you're like, these trees are blooming flowers, the cherry
blossoms. What That's what's up.
Then we remember, we're riding on the back of a God and staff
ourselves back into reality too many questions at this point, I
just gets real sad and says Iran says the, The Hermit is just
through those trees that and I'll be on my way now.
And thank you into the sky. Snake. do I know if these trees
naturally grow in this climate, they do not And zeff as you pass
through the bowels of the low-hanging cherry blossoms.
You notice a dryad scantily clad in just Vine standing there.
Well, hello there. I believe you are here for the
for the hermit, and she steps to the side, and you've already
been blessed by a fine mountain in your flower wreaths.
And she gestures with her head down off into this direction.
Thank you. Wait, what what is your name?
You ask her that? Hmm.
Oh I am. Willow Blossom.
Well, oh Blossom. Hmm.
I hope this doesn't sound rude, but can you do magic?
Worry not child of the god. Chosen you are, you cannot
offend any here and of course I Can Do Magic.
I'm a dryad kind of magic. The best kind, of course, yeah.
the as having like an identity crisis, right now, why I don't
understand from ads off. So so yeah, I guess hats off
like the is like, where's my power come from?
And she's like, this nature person can do magic and I Can Do
Magic in my dryad but like, she's not but she's looking at
this person who's similar to her, you know, yeah, I got you.
I feel, you know, that's, that's the terms are still.
I've been muted. I was talking everything that
you said. No.
Oh I was just whenever I got to like here in Joshua's, like you
see a dryad, I was like and there are as you move
forward, dryads, just kind of Standing along the path to a
small girl. That seems to be sitting in a
chair, a rocking chair. Next to a hug.
Awesome. Never leaned over to Thea and be
like, I think they still were child.
Does the child look like everyone else or no?
Do they look like dryer know, oddly enough.
And I this is just because I don't have a character token for
this, but they are clad in completely black leather from
head, to toe with with, with heavy piercings on their ears
and tattooed arms, and legs sitting in this chair.
It seems. Do you use a hats off Moment?
Like a biker chick sitting in this chair?
Oh, so not not like a child. I laid back over and I'm like
that's a badass child. It looks like a child to you
though. Just visually maybe they didn't
kidnap her. She looks like she can handle
herself. Maybe we should go see for
ourselves. You're saying you want to pick a
fight with this child. I'm just saying, just like in
any situation I'm naturally going to be abrasive but I guess
if she reacts like someone that is held against their will then
maybe we should do something about it.
If not, then maybe she's got the situation in control.
Yeah. Sounds like a plan.
All right. Did you really what's going on
over here? Are you explain one second?
They're Squall. A drill.
You just standing back in this clearing by yourself or have you
followed the party. Oh yeah.
Sorry, I'm a little in the same boat as Sarah, but I'm trying to
multitask idea where multitasking for the same
purpose right now. That's the funniest part
is all I got to say because it's the same wedding you've been.
Yeah, beginning of July, I feel like if I ever do get married,
my wedding will be One day and it will be elope food.
And yes, that's it. Yeah.
Like well she's kind of gone all out and then she like just
happen to plan like the bachelorette party, the bridal
shower and the wedding within like five weeks.
So it's like it's like one week is about for a party skip a
week. That is the bridal shower skip a
week and that's the wedding. It's just like, oh, try to have
all of that, in three days. Yeah, it's yeah.
That's what, that's what I did with my brother's wedding.
That's why nothing was on time. Yeah.
Your brother's writing this crazy, but but it was short that
that in that tape. Yeah.
And he also probably didn't have like a huge standards now, he'll
know. Exactly like Meg wants
everything. Perfect song as it happened.
Squally maybe not perfect, but you see a low stone, wall bless
you by the way, I think. And thank you, a small fire with
a cook pot. A very large cook pot over it.
That seems to be Brewing. A very hearty liquid of some
sort and what if they cook, what if they're going to cook the
child? And as you approach those
Squall, the Druid. That is our dry.
Add that is attending that's probably why you're getting an
identity crisis and freaking mixing up the words.
The dryad that's standing in next to it leans.
Over the pot with a cup. Dip, sit inside and says, would
you like some tea? All right, so it's the biker.
The biker child. Check to see if she's a hermit
Do you ask her that? No, it drill.
I'm just thinking to myself. Okay, like trying to pick up on
the Dynamics. Like since she's kind of like
sitting in a chair kind of like a throne fish, like type of
thing. Like do I get the sense that I
like she's in charge and she's who work here to see she's
currently got her face in her hands and there's a cup in her
lap that she's blowing on and kind of rocking back and forth
in the chair child, like just playfully just kind of like
singing like Yes, I would like some tea.
It's course and she hands you the glass and goes back to
stirring the pot. Give her a clear.
You won't eat the gold mushrooms when we know what they do, but
you'll drink some strange team from some random person.
I don't want to be rude to our guests.
He hasn't drank yet to be clear to.
He just disappeared. Offended.
You wouldn't you wouldn't drink of me and Thea's foots truce to
see? Yeah, that doesn't sound
appealing foot shroom. Just know.
While you're, while you guys are bantering back and forth, her
head pops up, and she does have braided hair, but both sides of
her head are smooth shaven with tattoo dragons on either side as
she leaned, she pops her head up, and she goes, oh, hello room
rollers. How did people know who we are?
How do I know how old she is? By looking at her?
She looks visibly. Just gonna say that squalls.
Like how the fuck does everyone know us?
Looks visibly? Like she is maybe 10 10 and she
has tattoos on her shaved head that that is another than metal.
and she goes and blows off the steam from her cup that she'd
been holding between your legs, as she pulls it up and Sips at
it and says you made a lovely Brew Meredith.
And now we're rollers. This is a moon Dance T that you
have their Squall. So Joy.
But I am the hermit you've been searching for and it appears you
have been God. Blessed and you are now, barley
emissaries of different gods. Hence you're coming to me, she
blows on the T, takes it. Some of you have been visited by
them. It seems too.
Others will be soon. Don't worry.
It seems via gold pedal. You've been God blessed by
flourish. God of orderly nature as well as
fecundity and the hunt and represented by the and takes the
form other than her human form. Of course of a deer, a hound and
or cow. And a tree is the willow.
I can send you guys these all afterwards, but I haven't worked
out for everyone. Yeah, Place.
Yeah. And I can you, you, can you say
that it was that first word? Which first word, what is the
name of the Goddess? Flitting?
No. She said, if you are blessed by
Blessed by the goddess, flourish.
Nope, try again. Keep going.
Tip your and I just thought you'd called
her a cunt. Oh.it.
Flourish look, kinda D and the hunt, right?
There's more than that. But yeah, And and nature orderly
nature. I'll send it.
Don't worry. It's, and she turns her head to
Israel and she goes Its roof, you know who you are blessed by.
It seems that would be candlemas and he's a his he's apparently
link to you through his tattoo, your tattoos there as I am.
I she Strokes the tattoos along her head but I am linked to
another God. Explain later.
As following you. Also he's a god of the wild in
its true form and he is a salute to you.
I'm going to say you broke out in the song like that and she
act sheer settle your haunches. If you'd like to hear yours, I
will get to you if you take If you, if you let me take my time
here, as well. He is similar to flourish,
Calhoun has as, and he's concerned with wealth and luck
Beyond his absence in wildness. And his tree is that of the oak.
and, Then she turns to zeff and she goes zephyrus friend, Ellen,
you were blessed by The elusive tick belong.
The goddess of the clear secrets.
On the rare occasion of being seen.
She enjoys the form of a horse. So watch, she's wildly one and
she enjoys playful deceptions in interplanetary interplanetary
protections normally attributed to the shape of a raccoon Beyond
her horse. And she is in the form.
Her tree is that of the rainbow eucalyptus I would say upon
hearing her say, like that name, she kind of like It's a
flashback to when you were and you're like, you were young.
You're just like slowly rolls down her cheek.
She kind of like nonchalantly tries to wipe it away.
Is what everybody else. Receives but the actual Vision
that you get from hearing, your full name to is a that of your
human father, tucking you into bed at night and as you're
laying down your head against the pillow and you're thinking
of all the play and fun, you'd had that day and how tired you
are. A feather lands just on the
blanket as your eyes closed. and then, Without a heartbeat that
says just that was just what zeff was experiencing at that
instance, as the, The Hermit turns to shi'a and she goes, she
olano, you don't think I know what your father calls you, she
elano ghanshyam, you are blessed by the goddess Zenith and
possibly Odin will see here. He seems to be vying for some
things, both of them very similar though as well.
That Zenith is mainly a Hector of knowledge.
And wisdom and you you see you've seen her, you know, her
and her giant ebony, formed human skin.
But hers is the tree of the lotus flower here is going to
sound like her shoulders are going to wilt ever.
So slightly thinking about how she treated.
The goddess. Not great, not great.
And then she turns to school and says, Squall feather-light.
You are blessed by the god or rather you have a contract.
She corrects. Hmm with a god.
Oh Grandma but also Affiliated it seems with a me gay known
only in his bird form as old as to Earth itself a genderless
deity known as an Observer, and helper of this world, being one
with the first creatures to inhabitant habitat, inhabit this
universe, and helped by the tick belong to, and their expert,
extra plenary. Existence populate, this one
that we stand on terror Earth that tree is that of the bow
tree? And then, we have mommy.
Nickname a mammoth make it is, I knew it was going to butcher
that one. I made it through all the other
ones. So well, Mike Miller.
Agriculture and food. Of course, food.
He takes the form of a carved Tiki men, mostly preferring that
over his own human form and He commands them peace and
celebration commands. It has the be careful.
He has an alternate personality of his deified form.
In his War form of that, he enjoys war games of spear
dodging, puns and riddles. And his tree is the Lihue. me
babe, when we're done with this Quest, I'm coming home to your
family because that sounds amazing sounds like a fucking
party. Maybe it's like the hobbits of
our world. I could be a make me mercy.
Oh yeah and I just took a hit. Then she finishes with a
flourish of the cup and downs, the rest of the Moon, Dance, T,
and says, these connections allow you to draw on the power
and gain from their abilities. Some of them will make deals
with you to do. So even more And gain even more
power to do such. But you've come here seeking
wisdom, not just what you might already know.
Waste not want not is what I will tell you stick together and
help each other to the best you can.
And she sets down the cup on the edge of the rocking chair sets,
your feet down, to stop the rocking to steady it, and pulls
out a bottle from inside of their tunic and prefers.
It does anyone recognize this ship inside the bottle?
Is it a new name? Yes, it seems.
You have forgotten your friend and your connections along the
way and she hands it off to whoever's closest I'm reading
from years. F is preferring it to zeff.
I think that's a little presumptuous of you because I
definitely did not forget about a dune.
A, I don't think any of us forgot about two days because
you know you're taking the trip off the land.
I forgot about the abhorrent honor and extremely Oddity that
comes with your goddess and such there, she Lila?
Yeah oh don't worry I see it only in Kindness because you
should not forget those who have helped you and try to help them
as much as you can. They instead of abandoning them
along your path as if used and sets it the ship in a bottle in
your hands, as presumably is f there and this is a duner as you
presumed you may be able to visit her just upon taking the
cork off the bottle and going back to it at any time you wish.
So you are welcome but we can teleport. so, you're welcome for
this kind gift and To me, maze, Outburst, it wouldn't be a
Teleport. It's more of a dune.
A is in a pocket Universe inside of this bottle.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
It's a Teleport. Like a Porsche
Universe, the hermit like real wide.
I like I don't trust my like ability to like not break this
bottle. I'm just going to turn to a
drone back tear and just hold out the bottle.
Smack it out of her hand. No, just kidding.
I take it and carefully place it in my pack.
You guys know how like, you know, you're in the game.
That was like a tree nervous, laugh.
Like, I legitimately just nervously like that.
The rooms. Like, I felt like I was crazy.
Okay. While we're standing here.
So you've identified us we kind of came here, looking for some
guidance. And we heard that you knew
something about the tree at tiddlywinks.
And she goes, yes one moment and she prefers her empty mug off of
the corner of the chair. Over to one of the dryads who
fills her cup again. She blows across this in the
steam as it envelops, her face. And she says, I'm known as the
helmet, that is what everyone calls me these days.
Most come to me for a path. Most come to me for an answer,
and I have gained much answers from the gods and this mountain.
There is actually a hidden talent behind this mountain,
you've experienced some of it, but that is just the basis of
it. And some of it has to do with
how it was formed. And she blows across the mug.
Takes it. Mmm, it's good.
Tea should have some and leans back in her chair and starts
rocking softly says this mountain was created by me.
And I don't mean that. In a literal sense.
It is been transported from one spot to another one, bit by bit.
And my will, I have taken a stone and a stone and a stone
and made this mountain until over the years.
I became ancient. And one with the mountain that
became my purpose to build. and As I Grew old and became no
more, the mountain was me and I am the mountain, but the gods
would not have me to end this way in an old ancient State and
I'd become As in fallible as this mountain itself and I will
be gone when the mountain does and as one knows mountains, do
not disappear quickly. So for a time I shall be here
but it is not forever. She blows sagely across the top
of her teaching enjoys, a long drag.
I assume though you've come to me to understand the Magics as
you were talking about and the Magical way that I've used to
accomplish this particular magic that you see, before you the
form in which I inhabit here is Everlasting youth only through
my will and that will was placed in placing the mountain here but
I this is how I looked when I was much younger.
The gods have blessed me to do, as I will in this form and I
will serve them ever more for that.
But the magic You should know and inhabits This Plane of Tarth
is that of the tour? And what you see before you is
that of my will and intent and how much I wanted this?
I based everything on this. The other thing that you can
focus on beyond the Magics of your own will and how much you
want something, that is the basis of magic and then how much
time and effort you put into it. That is the next step and
ever-evolving form of magic and it revolves back into to the
next phase of magic, which can be viewed as outside of oneself.
The first two phases, you can achieve in yourself, but the
Final Phase is that of belief and that which the gods
themselves only hold for the most part in the, in the in
majority, they hold the most wealth.
If you will in belief, for lack thereof, a better explanation.
Because if you believe it and you believe it it makes it more
likely to be true and in a magical sense as well in and she
just gesturing and talking eyes. This kind of gone into a
lecturing pose. She goes, the will, as I said is
the basis. If you take that, what you want,
you invest time, effort and then you believe in it, it will
become more powerful. But if you have others, Believe
in that same thing that you want, and you invest time in,
then it will become even more powerful and more likely to
happen. Hence, the mountain We Stand
upon because the dryads hadn't home to call their own, but I
had helped them create this, the creatures on this mountain
believed in me and their ability to, in my ability to create the
mountain and their belief called to the gods to help me become
this form. The tree that you spoke of the
though it is of another magic that of tariff itself.
Tara. Is as of an older Legend and
less to do with these bog and mind.
Workings of man in their Magics, it has to do with the ancient
gods, the Titans beyond what we consider God's these days.
Because Terrace was formed of two gods.
One whose name, you know, Allah Palace, he is that of the upper
worlds and that which inhabits in all, you can see all that you
can find build and Believe on this fine, son blessed, Moon
blessed land that is Allah appleís.
He is the sleeping God or Titan, however, you wish to call him.
Allah Palace. Was once awake but upon coming
to this other unending, will that was manipura many Palace.
He found the only way to defeat him.
Was to ignore him and in doing. So he became bored and fell
asleep on top of many polis. Creating the spherical Earth
which we live on Tarth. And everything below.
Ptarth is many polis. Which he keeps the only only
waking God. Entry Underneath Him.
Tara. Yep.
This is essentially hell. That is a that is a Uber
metagaming there because I would say that you guys don't even
have a concept of what hell is Okay.
Obviously that's going to lean over to see and be like I'm way
too high for this. So what I all explained?
Sometimes in his sleeping. A Lollis is able to affect his
world but it is minutely and in doing.
So it is generally that which grows out of him and seems the
most prevalent in trees. I've found because they have a
will of their own and in an end that leads back to the tour, the
Magics, which I had been speaking of before, which I
believe link all of the realms. Tour, but am I saying it right
tour? Yeah, yeah.
You I'm spilling it in the German which is T U.
Umm, Le are. But it's you could your for the
actual saying of it, you would just say tio are probably, is,
probably the easiest for just a A verbal, what's that called?
When you write something, how it sounds instead of how it
actually is. Spelled medic phonetic, thank
you. The attorneys and she's like, I
told you the trees were powerful.
Dude, hats off them. Like we're literally in our
other campaign will literally inhale, it feels like how
because it is feels like hell because it is
You have no idea how long that took me to come up with.
It's beautiful. Clap clapping plot Round of
Applause, standing ovation. yeah, it was many many hours of
Just Epiphany upon Epiphany and connection upon connection and
like, writing things down as I think of them.
And slowly making it into a cohesive diatribe that somebody
can say and not just random babblings that I have in my
head. I was great.
Hmm. Yeah.
So somebody May Mays looking at the quote-unquote hermit
skeptically because they're, they're a little offended
because Me Maybe it's been a real hermit, right?
We're like, you know, Hermits have 20 people around 20 other
creatures around, right, and this this hermit is surrounded
by these nymphs. That doesn't seem very
hermit-like. But, you know, the hearing, the
story of the building to Mountain Stone by Stone and
being Mountain and that but subsides a little bit maybe it's
a little a little less salty about the and hearing that
people call call her. Hermit after that's like a title
she puts on herself, you know, gets a little little soothed by
that. And wants to to ask.
So, beyond all this perceiving, right?
So, the hermit perceives all of this like, you know, we just
kind of appeared in two seconds later.
They're sipping tea and telling us our names and the gods, we've
been Best Buy, you know, things about our past and being all,
you know, spooky. I'll spoopy so Mimi's gonna
gonna kind of quietly and cautiously asked, so, you know a
lot about us but, you know, we're here or here in garganta.
You know, to serve a purpose and to heal and evil or to banish an
evil and he'll heal some things like what can you tell us of the
land and what can you tell us of of you know this this wrong.
We're trying to write. You speak of Nadia.
He is similar in that. He is the opposite of zenith.
And he is attacking Gand. As we speak with his neophytes.
To defeat them. You will not need much.
They are not. I'm not one for battle.
So I'm not much help in this particular areas, but I can
prepare you for such that t, that is being rude.
There, the Magic Dance, T, if distilled by zeff there, Can be
used to be placed in their water source and they won't be able to
stop dancing or feeling happy. This is a strategy which I've
used against them many times, because there are very serious
lot, and they have come to me and my mountain and tried to
force their ways upon the creatures and people that pass
through my lens to no, avail only because they
instantaneously and forever. Forget there's dubious ways of
order and structure. And everything must be a certain
way. Because what will will be, and
you can have a wheel for a way, but you should not force it on
others, you should help them and explain them the way.
And this Moondance tea helps with us, but it creates in its
distillation a form of narcotic, if you will, it's a dubious grin
and sips the tea again. Okay.
I get you, I get the tea you're
putting down, basically, he's just ripping.
Hi, I'm balls over there. And these micro dosing.
Yeah, yeah. Are these the only questions the
rum rollers have for me? so forgive me, I'm a little bit
high, but Is there a way to bring the tree back to
tiddlywinks? Because these people worship
this tree, they Adorn the tree. If it's gone forever.
I don't really know how they react the tree is.
Oh, yes. And there was a bit of a
stumbling and their tone, and their eyes had rolled back real
quick and then rolled back forward.
Oh, you. All right.
The tree. I've been focused on many other
things. If you were to repair the tree,
that would be a wonderful blessing upon this land.
The easiest way to do. So Such is to take one of the
many crystals you've gathered on your journey that are of a LOL
Palace and his general power nodes. start to Form these
crystals there. They are a sense of a Layman's
power Crystal, if you will, and they vary, depending upon that
land and what what is needed for it.
But if you take any one of them and place it upon the, the burnt
husk of the tree, it will Revitalize.
Mmm. All right, that's good to know.
Is there any actual magical powers that this tree possesses?
Or is there a God that it Aligns to or these people blindly
following a tree. So it is the most certainly of
Allah LA palace. So it would be in our best
interest to bring the tree back. It is not as this pressing
perhaps though as Goggins problem.
But yes and at like took like she owes like had her finger up
and then like nodded and put her finger down like yes, yes, yes.
Like please Can we? Okay, so we make the potion we
get to Garden. Can we ride on the snake?
Don't forget. We also have the I also have
blue liquid from Zenith Crystal Tower as well as we have that
that that whatever the jar is that produces never-ending.
Yeah I'm horn full of the Zenith water now.
Yeah. In your and your note of urgency
there. She it seems your friend would
like to be going as it is only suited for ones.
When their family is at risk, if you would proceed towards the
back part of my cabin, I can't hang for whatever reason 08
because that's because I'm creating, it was in the creation
part of the Met. Here we go.
Back in this direction. There is a small path that leads
to an iced over Lake, and you can ride it all the way down to
the bottom of the mountain. On the other side, that will put
you at Wolf veins paths. And they may be able to provide
us with mounts for the rest of your journey.
How far is it from here to gargon?
Just just curious. It is from the bottom of the
mountain, approximately two days.
On a horse on heavy horse ride. Yes, I'm not knoweth in horse a
heavy horse. So is this the pot?
T, then there is there food in there.
Is it just too mostly off of T here?
I'm sorry. Now, there does seem to be.
We were made this map and she pulls out the map and points to
it and it does seem to show a quite large Cavern.
Is that it's that natural naturally made or is that it's
caused by? The evils going on, you talk of
the, the crevasse, the ever-expanding.
There's another word I was thinking of her this So many
things coming to a head. Holler Gap, holler Gap, Canyon
Canyon would be appropriate and its size on the map is what if
you look at the one that she is talking about this, then lady
Vicki big. Do they call it a fissure?
I do like that to in the center of gagan to on.
It seems to be breaking the continent apart and I believe it
has something to do. With the Magics that the
neophytes are working on the land outside of the lower nether
regions of gargantuan. Where we reside in currently?
Okay, so we go to Garden, we fuck some bitches up and then
maybe the fissure. Gets in control.
That could be it is of they're doing as I'd said, perhaps there
is some way, I'm not sure how they're managing that particular
Magic. Could be the sacrificing babies
to the dull. My teased.
I don't know. Don't remind remind us of that.
It seems, she seems to be slurring her words profusely at
this point. It's just the, the cherry
blossoms behind you and some winter grass has probably some
Sorrel as, and A fresh snow that's that's really the only
things. Ash now yeah.
Grab some winter Blossom or some cherry blossoms.
I also. I have another question for you
and then she's going to like that's going to kind of hold up
her hand like doing like the one moment thing and just take a
really really long sip borderline chug from her
waterskin, Constitution 19, And then kind of like take a deep
breath and be like. So my my mother. and she just
gonna kind of afraid that like that, and hope that the hermit
kind of gets the gist, you feel the the brew that you would
drink as you pulled pulled deeply from it, just Relax your
body and you get only a sense upon what you're focused on now
and this idea, that that's the only thing that matters to you
regardless of anything else. So you hear the hermit, go cross
the last bit of the tea before. Mmm, who wants full zephyrus?
These are things that you worry about.
If I do not tell you, I'm sure. And if you ever wish to come
back, I will be This is you are welcome.
And the knowledge, which I have acquired.
I I would say is that a great loss to my own self only?
Because after the building of this mountain, and creating of
all of these creatures, I've been given this foresight but
not hinter site. And I'm sorry, but your past is
not in my purview. some fucking Fortune teller, you are, and
just kind of like, wander off to kind of be in her own feelings
and like collect the snow that she needs and stuff to brew this
stuff. Wait wait, so Theo watches, F
walk away. Looks at the Hartman says What
about my mother? gold pattern, your mother is
Also elusive, but I would wish that for both of you, you do not
put this behind you completely because there are ways in which
you can settle your past. If you come back after your
Ventures North in the centers of this mountain, there are
creatures, which have come And can help you.
Oh my gosh and this mountain in this mountain in this very
Mountain but do not forget to my earlier wisdoms and let your
friends. Go by the wayside for your past
because the past is the past and the future is yet.
Untold, if you do not help your friends, you will regret it.
Okay. Mike Sethi, I just nods and
looks down. I apologize your screen.
What are you doing? I said, I apologize for my
screen. Why did you scream?
Because all this, I didn't know she climbed up my thing, and
she's like hidden and one of my back, how's the washing off my
shoulder? Sorry.
Good timing good? Yeah yeah a lot earlier in the
day I earlier in the session Mike came up and scooped me and
I like horror scream but thankfully I was muted because
it's did not sound good. Like double scoop or single
scoop. like, A single scoop pick up and threw me into the bed.
Now I'm sad because now I want ice cream.
Yes, kind of ice cream though. I'm a chocolate chip cookie
dough kind of person, probably either that or peanut butter.
Have you guys tried that hack? Where you put olive oil and salt
on your ice cream? No, no, no, it's amazing.
Don't knock it till you try it. It's amazing.
Yeah, I would try it. I probably would try it.
I guess I can't say I my this my lunch every day.
We'll make some of you squeamish it's peanut butter and pickle
peanut butter and pickles. That's enough.
It was somebody who was let go peanut butter and pickle
sandwiches are the best. And I was like, what the fuck?
It's so good, so good. But yeah, if you look it up,
online, everyone talks about vanilla ice cream with olive oil
and some salt on it but it works with any flavors.
I really like with butter pecan, it's a good chocolate, it's good
with whatever, whatever ice cream you have.
It just like, elevates, whatever you're tasting.
That makes sense. Because And weirdly enough, like
the more salt you add to something, the more sugar, you
can add to it. And like the more taste it will
bring out, taste is weird. Yeah.
It is a weird sense. Is this weird?
Yeah what was it? What's the tailpipes?
Have tailpipes was his burger joint and Morgantown close
knocks. The goddamn pandemic but I feel
like it was like a burger that had peanut butter on it.
Yeah. The down here and like wheeling
and stuff. There's a place called The Yield
Alpha back before they were famous for their peanut butter
burger. yeah, I don't know about that one, but I have not had it,
I'd heard sketchy things about yield L4, that's why I'd never
been there, but I've been to tailpipes, like, you were
talking live and I don't think I'd had or seen the peanut
butter burger, but I did always get their peanut butter milk.
Shake I have to say, yeah, peanut butter, I'll try anything
once. So I tried to get that's a good
attitude i'm-i'm-i'm of a very similar.
And set with Cassidy here. But I also just love peanut
butter. Like, I could eat peanut butter
all the time, every day for every peanut butter is good
grade you know where most of it comes from, 70% of it comes from
China, which is interesting to me, because we only have a very
small region, which we can grow it in, which is like, Georgia,
because the guy who invented, peanut butter was American,
right? Oh yeah, yeah.
So it's just weird that it doesn't come home America.
Yeah, peanuts are. I think themselves don't really
come to from America? But like nobody else in the
world eats peanut butter. It's like it's a very like,
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are very American
thing. It's I'm sorry for the rest of
the world. It's catching on.
I feel like slowly, but surely throughout the years people are
growing with it and on it. Yeah, but it's try to God, I was
just gonna say it's still just so Savory and like it's got a
lot of energy and fats in it, right?
Like. So most of the world that just
seems like a very Savory and decadent meal to have to say
that. Yeah I was trying to explain
when I was in grad school surrounded by International
students. I was trying to explain ants on
a log. Look celery with peanut butter
and raisins and they looked at me like I was insane.
Could not Comprehend. The idea of putting peanut
butter on celery. Big reasons on it.
Yeah. So much there's so much going on
there. Yeah they were very very took
them back but is this a safe place to say?
Put a pause on things for the evening?
And before we Fincher away from the hermit, Muhammad says, you
are welcome to stay here for the evening.
As it is, getting all late on the hour as well.
They are nothing, nothing special happened.
I feel like we could all use a nice sunset on a Mountaintop
feel like that would be good for the party before venturing on.
Into the terrible Abyss. That is the death of God gnomes,
kidding. Holy water, Shion nervously.
Laughs This tea and chosen, I don't
think. I think you're the first one to
actually drink. The tea, just saying that all
the dryads had passed out to everyone at this point in cups.
Who everybody do? I drink it?
No, I asked for some but I see that you did drink it.
You'd have to roll a constitution for me is all
gotcha. I thought you just said that the
advise which is very different. She tries Oh, no, that's not
what I wanted at all. Graph, is also going to take a
cup of the tea. Drink.
Yeah. Maybe maybe maybe yeah, ability
Chuckles, right? Okay, and I think I need to
roll. Did it wrong?
There we go. I literally got a net one.
Let me so. Regardless you feel a sense of
warm relaxed State just soothing over you almost similar to the
pools, which you would sat in before but starting from your
inside and working its way out as opposed to the warm liquid,
you were sitting in before and as its suffuses your being and
the sunsets and you all are just chatting amiably above amongst
each other. ER, and some of the journeys and
the the past times you've had sunsets over the ridge of the
mountain and the moon comes up on the other side.
You'll feel your limbs start to wiggle as if to a rhythm that
you don't hear and the dryads join in.
Standing and the what? The dryads join in true to the
non join and okay true to the name of the ti moune density.
Mmm. Oh yeah.
Let it take sure. We wiggling willingly.
Look a wiggle. Wiggle, wiggle wiggle?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is involuntarily at first
like you don't, you don't intend to start dancing.
So, I mean, like a grand and wonderful.
