Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on metagaming by Room Propelled Gaming Fair warnings.
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
Allelopolis. Oh, fucking Greg.
The end. Approaches.
The Hand of Fate tosses. The dice rolls, spins, turns.
A campaign starts and ends, leaving memories that become
stories. Stories flow out into the
infinite sea, painting it with legends.
Legends wash up on the shores throughout the infinite Sea,
fitting to myth, until myths are forgotten.
And again the Hand of Fate tosses the dice rolls, spins,
turns. Hitherto we left our adventures
known as the Rum Rollers in Socrates After delivering breath
of the Red Dragon to Shondar and of the Red dragon named Shondar
to Sir Ferris Telus, it the the lead artificer of the factory
district in Socrates. On behalf of Queen Thea and the
people of Socrates, he promised Sir Sir Ferris promised to work
for to work for the cures of the citizens who have had their
magic sparks stolen by the mana thieves in from the ocean.
He also gave them a a satchel at the end of the that will at the
end of the day populate with the profits from the sails of the
potion. Deciding their next move was to
heal the newly acquired corpse of the wizard formerly known as
Matt Nimoway, KIRO and Rural take a carriage to Zean this
altar the goddess of knowledge they the head acolyte promises
to heal heal the body and KIRO harvests some octopus eyes to
replace the missing ones from Matt's corpse.
He says it will take 10 days and the ring Nimoway holds with his
soul in it must be present. The rum.
Then the rum rollers ask for corpses from the acolytes.
After being informed that the PNC is requesting 10 sacrifices
for tribute, the head acolyte says he can manage some of that
bodies in the morning. But then the rum rollers depart
on a dune or sleep on that dune's deck and have dinner
where they run into a servant, or rather a student of Sir
Ferris Telus who says that if a dune consents, he can start the
upgrade process for her flying to a Zephyrish ship and no
longer be just be stuck in the waters.
So they had to decide to head to the castle to at Queen Thea's
invitation and run into several meetings of others there with
Radaha Allure him, the proprietor of the pink plush
pigs being one of them, Another one of Sir Ferris Telus students
who's generally overworked they could tell, and the head guard
for the the Socrates. After that they meet with Queen
Theta and Shondar the Red, who had made an appearance and
courted the Queen successfully. They seem to be getting along
swingingly as the Rum rollers negotiate a a trade of 10,000
gold or they negotiate Shondar's help in the future in their
endeavors and fighting the PNC. After after these all of those
chats they begin to lay out their plan to provide the 10
sacrifices to the PNC and ask approval from the city guard to
push back the undead horde at the gates when alerted by the
Rum rollers. They also would start to explain
their plan to the Queen Thea and she just brushes them off and
explain that she trusts them to solve the problem.
Queen Thea then dismisses the rim rollers after after that to
head to the air docks where they meet their newly upgraded A Dune
who is a beautifully now tree masted ship that gets a
wonderful celebration and send off with some champagne and
others bringing gifts for the rum rollers including some of
the requested items from the acolytes of Sir Ferris who
they'd ask for blessed water cannons and some other
accoutrement. And with that they set sail into
the skies with a Dune headed north towards the lava tower
with intentions to take on the PNC where they immediately and
swiftly take down a horde of zombies and the resulting zombie
ball clot that the turn that they turned into a doughnut
after blasting it with more water with some of the blessed
water cannons they knew they got resting in the crew quarters.
They have a dune continue to fly towards the lava tower after
connecting with the guard and making sure that everything else
was going to be taken care of before they embarked.
As they woke up, they find a new companion, Ciro, who joins joins
them while discussions for the next steps in their attack on
the PNC. Zenith and Lono make an
appearance to explain that the rest of the gods have fled
Tareth, therefore she needs their help in the heavens to
save Tareth and warns against facing the PNC at this time as
they stand with a plan to ecchus fill from the planet, make it to
the outer planets of the system, and open the seal to the rest of
the world's. Let's find out what happens this
time. So yeah, you guys found yourself
still on the decks of a dune with the amethyst and gold
Dragons floating in the air, having explained their their
stance on what they think you may be the best course of
action, but have made abundantly clear that you guys have to make
that decision. It is not theirs to make.
Look at the captain this hard. Decision to spare.
We are going into space. Has.
They. Provided.
US. True, they want us to be God.
Mooned us for the King. Have they provided us with a
reason why we should? Not face the PNC.
Some spaced us for my dad. And that's also why.
These artifacts or. Grand damn.
Heart attack. Contact of the plane and
generated himself into some madness before Zenith healed
him. I imagine you were all kind of
like standing around discussing and pondering and the way just
like awkwardly patting him on the shoulder like they were
there. KIRO is conflicted.
KIRO is. Conflicted does come back and
say I wasn't explicit in my statements before, but they have
built up large defenses in the time that you've left this area
and rooted themselves in quite nicely as well as they.
Only someone could attack from inside.
They also have set up a quite a manufacturing station as I
understand to build the ship to launch them off Taurus.
OK. This is good information.
Thank you. So if you are suggesting that we
don't attack PNC at this time, you would like us to ascend to
godhood, What? What's the next step in that
direction? Does that mean that everyone on
on this planet dies? I will address the question I
had first from the young lady. She.
Said. The, the, the, I was mentioning
the peninsula of Choi, which is where you will have to go
instead of the lava tower where you're headed now.
However, as I said, it was your choice, and if you choose to go
and face the PNC at this time, there are some pieces of
information they have been able to keep to themselves.
Like how exactly they plan to do what they're planning to do to
this seal that protects us that is above even my pay grade.
She kind of chuckles. So the peninsula of Choi is a
location where we could secure more power.
To then come back. It it loosely translates to the
the Peninsula of Heaven and it is a route towards the heavens.
Once you were there, there there's a city and a From there
you can get to the keep. The there is a wizard's keep
above the city that is only accessible through the city and
some of the contacts that we have there.
I'm already angelic, so it's really up to y'all.
So I mean, Luno, Luno is my God, right?
So I'm sitting here looking at, I'm just like going to fan fan a
little bit because I'm just like, he's here.
He's here. Only good things happen when
Luno shows up. Like despite what they're
telling me, which seems that things are really bad, I think
things are really good because Luno's here, right?
That would happen if Lono's here.
Like this is this is great, right?
And I'm like looking around at everybody else.
So yeah, sorry. Continue your questions.
And you, you probably at this at that point, Lono too is pointing
to that Berry that he gave you before the the grape that's the
size of you. Oh, he gave that to me, did he?
Am I like holding it? He can't hold it if it's the
size of me. It appeared to you next next to
you on the deck because he's just been sitting on the cloud
to the most point that he came in on eating grapes except for
at one point when KIRO he it's there you can do whatever you.
Want I'm going to I'm going to start trying to eat it.
I'm going to pull out. I don't know, I'm sure I have
some sort of knife on me. I'm going to pull out and just.
Like try, just like dawning and thinking.
Yeah. So in the way it turns back to
the Dragons, the PNC is imminently going to launch
themselves to the green moon. If we don't attack them, won't
they succeed? Isn't there urgency there?
I believe their plans are to break away from this planet's
gravity to get to the moon and set up a secondary base to allow
for an easier access to the farther reaches of the planets.
Necromancer should. We stop them.
I think at this point it would be very hard on as they
establish a new base it may be easier and you will have access
to more powers at that point. I see and maybe.
Easier to genocide the planet and start over.
That's what you're saying. Let's not be coy about it.
Well, no, I I'm against the genocide of this planet.
That is one of the reasons I hope to stop this.
But you wish us to become gods and the reform the planet in our
image. Would that's not include?
No, I've not said anything about reforming the planet in anyone's
image I want to protect. It really, I thought.
I swore I used. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.
I look to other people. I was thinking more of a
genocide of this green moon. Does this planet reside in any
or rely on any tidal forces from this moon?
I wouldn't call it relying as we have a secondary moon.
Good to know. So so we could explode the moon
his. Hand.
Be one of my hopes, yes. We would need to be gods.
For this. I Unless you have some way to
blow up the moon now. I mean with all the other gods
in hiding. Wouldn't blowing up the moon
cause pieces of it to come hurtling down and shatter the
world? If done, impact if done
inaccurately. Maybe.
What if we got a big rope and wrapped it around the moon and
then used a dune to pull it away?
What if we put a bunch of our decanters of endless holy water
on one part of the moon and directly force outward like
power jets all. All.
Ideas, I guess, but again, they're not on the moon yet.
OK, have we asked the moon if it will just move?
Maybe. Unfortunately, this particular
moon has changed. It to Grand Am or yeah to Grand
Am? Can you cast Awaken on the Moon
so we can talk to it? Is the moon a plant?
I believe it's changed its colors after Loki's release.
So it's sentient, it's to some degree or I don't know what that
means. What do you mean?
What does that? Mean doesn't there be like a God
of the moon that we can finally talk to?
Or am I missing it? Wouldn't that just be the moon?
I low it seems that at least from the as he's the God of
deception, it's hard to be sure, but I believe he has taken hold
of that moon. I think we should get rid of
him. Then why don't we deceive the
God of deception? Good, good luck.
I, I I don't know how to do that.
OK. And get him wrapped up in like a
deal where he he releases the moon permanently in exchange for
something. One of us could be attempt to be
a sexy lady and the message him. And.
They. Fall in love with.
US. That would be very difficult as
he's. Our man.
Retreated. To that move, that's great.
I mean, I am pretty angelic so it might work.
You would have to go to. So hold on, do that, I believe.
I think we're pointing at the wrong direction.
So, right, So here's the Here's the thing.
The threat is that the PNC is going to try to escape this
planet, to go to the moon, to eventually go elsewhere.
We're focusing on only one link in that chain.
Is there other links? They got to go elsewhere.
Where else are they going? They're trying to like, open up
this solar system to the outside world or something.
Mirror should not be broken. The mirror should not be broken.
OK.
As you're chanting, is he OK? And having had cast that before,
I'm not sure if you were going, if that was ever decided, if
we're going to resolve that or not.
Up to him. I'm on board, all right.
Oh. God and can Franklin be reached?
I would. I guess you were probably taking
some sort of rest after that last fight.
If we have the option to rest, yes.
I don't. Think that you guys were headed
towards the Click Cliff Castle in that campaign?
Sure. Well.
So here, here's what would be going on with me or with
Franklin. He's waiting for the Admiral's
response. So he would have taken an Astral
Diamond on his next rest to wait for her.
Oh, OK. Right, because that's what I, I,
I've been trying to get a meeting.
So I'm trying to wait for a response that and my my request
was hey if you want to meet, come to the tower.
Yeah, that changes some things then because as you as you would
try to possibly even use dream to reach out, you would get a
the number if you dialed has nothing.
OK, here's here's my question then.
The the tower is completely outside of time and space,
right? Yep.
Would it be reasonable that an organization of people that
monitor things that are outside of time and space might have
access to astral diamonds? Yes.
So would it be reasonable that a grand dam from the Council of
Grand Dams could appear to speak to?
They could appear in the tower, but I don't know if they would
appear in the. Agreed upon secret room that now
we every or our team has or evil team has.
That it that is, that is an accurate statement.
They would appear in front of the desk of Ishmael.
So I guess you guys could play that out and they can request,
you know, whatever they want. Yeah.
Are you? Is that what you're doing, Grand
Am? Could be OK.
This would be well outside of the scope of the character I
have on, because if a Grand Am shows up to talk to Franklin,
it's not going to be the Grand Am on the ship.
No. It's going to be one of the
like, it's going to be the original Grand Am I created back
in the olden days. OK, Grand Am Prime.
The the ancient decrepit guy. Yeah, well.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not him.
No, that's Grand Am Senior, senior, senior, senior senior.
Not to be confused with Grand Am Prime.
OK, he's just senior. I'm was is a word that could be
used to describe this entity. If we're going down this road,
sure. All right, so.
Grand Am appears in front of Ishmael, but it is quite clear
that this is not the exact same Grand Am, though they are
certainly like but from the same cloth.
This one looks more haggard like, as if burdened by the
weight of 1000 worlds on his shoulders.
He holds in his left hand a staff, and in his right hangs a
Lantern with an eerie green glow.
He one eye is completely totally dilated while the other has
constricted down to the size of a pinhole and he looks like he
has been through 1000 lifetimes worth of horror, yet still is
hanging on there somehow. And we can assume he's made
contact with Ishmael before. It's quite possible.
OK, so in. The same way like a powerful
cleric might have come into contact with Ishmael.
Maybe not this is Ishmael, but. Maybe not this one, but a
Ishmael, yeah. Yeah, so.
So he takes the astral diamond, lays down, and then gets a sense
of wake of wakeful dreaming as he as he tosses and turns and
his consciousness fully fades away, His eyes pop back open to
standing in front of a beautiful inlaid mahogany desk and a
mahogany and a figure behind it that is clad in some loose
robots of familiar face sits on top of that to him.
I would guess then with a goateed face and all black, jet
black hair and jet black eyes, iris and sclera, and he looks up
at you and says, oh, and he looks, opens the book that he's
got in front of him and he goes down the list, I believe Grand
am Prime, am I right? Hey Grand Am, both eyes fix on
the God and just focus in on them.
So what do I owe? To the turtle.
Oh, so that's the pleasure you're after, I see.
There's usually a deal to be struck for certain things of
nature in natures of this. I would also have to contact my
client to alert as he's already made a deal.
He's looking in the notes and reading some things it looks
like to not be disturbed. So I will do that as you think
about what might be you'd be willing to part with or do for
me. He just looks raised an eyebrow
and you can see he like like when you blink, there's like a a
kind of a blur where he was sitting like it, like it, like
he blurs for a second, but that's it.
You can tell he's he's communicated with somebody else.
And that's when Franklin, inside of the safe space, would get
Ishimel's form there and to ask him permission to allow entry of
Grand Dam Kelidor Prime. Bing Bong Franklin currently
would be setting out some chairs in one corner of the room and a
large circle of salt in the center of the room.
Hey Ishmael, what's up finger guns?
Is the Admiral here? He he steps out of the elevator
and he just goes. No, there is another gentleman
here for you, though it appears going by the name of Grand Am
Kellador Prime. Really.
That's fun what you want. It seems he wants a meeting.
OK. I did you ask for that?
Just to be upfront about it. For.
For me for this, but also that I would need your permission.
Got to get yours right? Would it be safe here if I don't
know what sort of entities we might be trying to summon in
here? I kind of point at this circle.
I'm setting up a magic circle so that if we saw about a deity or
an Angel at some point like we talked about, it would hopefully
be stuck in there. Do you see any foresee any
dangers to be myself or my allies if I bring this unknown
person into our secret estive sanctums?
Or do you have like a meeting room that you could like provide
like to keep this place quiet? Well, I I guess I could.
His granddad was about it already.
Provide a meeting room of sorts, but cool.
I I in would ask additional payment for that as you've paid
for this space. OK.
Just to just on top of that, I just wanted to say to your other
questions, the only issue that I could see for yourselves is the
risk that I'd stated before about this door over here which
which would evacuate all. Yeah.
Air create a boiling point of 0 for water so any water would
instantly boil off. Many other dangers, so radiation
to say the least, but I. Picked up my chair and I put it
right next to the big red button.
Got it. And in an event that that would
so compromise this space as well for my safety, this entire space
will not only evacuate if there is a breach, but also destruct
within minutes. OK, so final question for you.
This is going to be a little bit doozy.
Don't want to take up too much of your time.
I suspect that someone's going to try to blow up the entire
planet soon. I know we could get here and
dream for with their astral diamonds, but do you have like
an emergency escape button where we could physically come here in
case the world is exploding and we happen to be on the wrong
side of that plan? He just sucks his teeth and
goes, yeah, that's a hard no. Any physical things that are
here I've either got to manifest.
Them. Or there are very limited ways
actually. Most of the blood samples from
all of my allies. Anyway we can start a cloning
process take a while. He he looks up at the the
ceiling. Ethically, sure, might be
questionable, but. Like the clone spell where it's
just like A at these shell and then when they die their soul
comes in and like plugs in. Physically, yes, I mean, but
yeah. OK, yeah, I mean, I'll ask them,
right? I'm not going to like, hey guys,
these are your children slash clones.
But then you would be highly limited towards the outside
worlds, and as you're only able to enter here through dreams,
you would only be able to enter the other worlds through a
dreamlike state. Yeah, hey, look at me.
I understand that. I understand the risks.
I just need to know if it it's an option because existing in
this place would be able to haunt people's dreams is a lot
better than not existing at all. Oh well, if you insist.
I mean, there's only so much your payment could hold you over
though I would guess. So eventually you would have to
become part of the tower. Yeah, You know, we'll get a side
job, part time job, you know, Anyway, just wanted to check in
on that. Doesn't seem like there's an
easy way to do that until we get the materials to clone, which,
you know, I could get pretty easily.
I think I have the money. We got sidetracked in our in.
My Yeah, that's right. The guy.
Yeah. Why don't you bring him in?
I don't care. I don't need to.
I don't need to pay extra for a second room.
Just take him. Might.
Not be acceptable. I will.
He'll come down in elevator. And yeah, stick him in the
elevator and then I put a chair just for him right in front of
the door to emptiness of space, just in case.
Of the wait, what do you mean in front of the door, in the
emptiness of space, I'm. Confused.
So there's a there's a door with a button that opens and voids
the room. Yep.
His chair is going directly in front of that door, and I'm
going to stick one of my bugs on that button in the mechanism so
that if I need to, I can void him.
And then I'm going to walk over to the side, tie a rope to a
wall, and then just have it like loosely on the ground so that I
can grab on to it if I need to. And then I sit in a chair that
spins and I turn so that I'm facing away from the elevator
and I take out my cricket and I start petting it like an evil
genius or evil person. OK, wait for him.
Shift the camera back over to Grand.
Am there, so you'd seen that blur of movement.
Ishmel smiles at you and says he's he's accepted your request.
Have you thought of payment? Grand Am Fish is in a pocket and
after a moment pulls out a acorn and and offers it to Ishmael by
taking his hand and giving him a firm shake.
You stick out your hand with the acorn in it.
He looks at it, pulls a glove out of one of his drawers, puts
it on his hand and then shakes your goes to shake your hand.
Should be more. Thank you.
What's the breed on this? Tree.
I mean. It looks at it, it will flicker
back and forth between being like he can see, like a almost
like an aura around it. A multitude of possibilities.
Oh, it can be other trees. This is useful, especially
because I love mahogany so much and it's a hard to come by wood,
let me tell you. And he sticks it in a desk and
says right this way. And he walks towards what looks
like a set of stairs, one leading up, one leading down,
and gestures towards the one that is leading down.
And then we'll go down. And as you go down the stair, as
you get about halfway down the stairs turned into a a slide and
you fall the last the elevator that you can feel also falling
at a steady rate, but you're able to get your feet under you
before the doors Ding and open. Yeah, he he jumps at the last
second. You get that sensation of free
fall that you're looking for. And then he will step out of the
elevator, I guess, into Franklin's little clubhouse.
See a big chair across from you slowly twirl and I'm sitting in
it caressing the top of my bug's head and I say I've been
expecting you. Hi, I'm Franklin.
This cricket. Adjuster to a chair against the
wall. Do you have a seat?
Can you can you guys see the space?
Yeah. As you the the space around you
it seems to be lined metal walls that have a slight hum to them.
As you step out of the elevator. You can tell, especially as
you're standing on an all glass floor that looks out into a
starry void and a nebula blonde beyond.
Place very sci-fi. I approve.
Thanks. And design it grand am will take
it door. One of the chairs.
OK. Grand Am will where?
Are we at? Yes.
I would have been. I would have been down here,
yeah, 'cause the magic circle would be in the center.
Yep, that's what I thought. So yeah, you looked at.
OK, I see. Like.
Down here is kind of in like it looks kind of like a like an
entry office cause the elevator comes in here to the left and
then you kind of like walk over and then like I'm sitting back
dropped by the edge of this magic circle.
Which is a salt circle. Yeah.
And then grabs himself. And blood.
That's the whole Tyrion. And we'll come to sit across
from you do. You like some water, Aquafina
can't stand Coke, OK. Oh, what can I do for you?
You found me in a very difficult to find location so I figure you
must have something interesting to say.
You laugh just like the other grand Am.
We all laugh like that. Makes sense, Haven't met myself
yet while I have, but they're different means.
Would you like to? One day.
But that's not my plan. That's his plan.
It's all his plan, isn't it? Technically.
Oh, why do you distinguish yourself?
Differentiate yourself. Haven't been to enough
arrhythmic veracity. Is that my friend?
Every time I go it'll become a little bit more alike.
See. Speaking of which, there's a big
clock on a wall that's counting down.
And oh Jesus, why is this? Oh Jesus, There's just a
descent, a cough drop on the floor that's been disintegrated
and I don't know how it's and it's still in his wrapper.
One second I got thrown this away.
It's like it's like a gel in his wrapper.
I gotta throw this shit. Away and wave my hand in front
of the Grand Am's face while he's zoned out and I scoot him a
little closer to the exit. Don't worry, his player's not
watching. I wink at the camera.
I. Not met anybody else that knows
the truth. Took a while to find out.
I imagine. Same people don't learn this
secret. No, no we don't.
So. What is it you plan?
You same. Right now.
Destruction. No, I'm not intent on any sort
of destruction. I.
I don't know if I should trust you or not, but maybe I will
just because there are so few others like me.
I don't want destruction. I want this system that I live
in with me and my friends to be fully sealed off from the
influence of the gods and the rest of the multiverse.
That's my plan. I want freedom.
I've been a slave to these gods my entire life.
Before I was born, they decided what was going to happen to me
and it was not good. How do I want to kill them all?
Of course I'd love to, but being more realistic currently in our
system, since you don't know it's sealed off from the rest of
the multiverse. All of the gods in this system
have fled except for three, 4 technically, 1 trapped in the
center of the planet. 1 And I glance at a book, and then I put
it in a lead box. And I closed the lead box I have
a plan to dispose of. And the other two have allied
themselves with the other version of ourselves on the
Allies team. And if they could get them to
agree to leave as well, this entire system would be free.
That's what I want. I want to be free.
I don't want to die when they get bored of this game.
I want my memory to live on in this little pocket of calm where
people can grow up and have good lives and not have gods stick
their hands up their butts and play the Blake puppets.
That's what I want. And if I have to burn down the
entire fucking system and kill every single God, I will.
But if I don't have to, I won't. Safe havens.
You'll want the dream to last forever.
Don't we all? I'm literally undead.
I have time. If I have to wait 1000 years to
make a move, I can. I'm not limited.
What happens when those dreamers wake up, friend?
Then they'll be awake and they'll know they'll have to
come to terms with that themselves.
We'll have a good therapy program in place, and when they
do come to terms with it, they'll be happier for it.
They won't be happier for it, but at least hopefully they'll
accept it. I want to wake everyone up.
Why would you? No.
Maybe not across the entire multiverse.
We don't know what will happen. It could be chaos and war.
But in the system enclosed, separated from the gods, we
could do that safe. There is no separating the.
Dream from there securely. There is no separating the dream
from the dreamer. All you could do is pave the way
that the dream came. That's why I came.
Hey, you're just like Grand am you?
Talk around circles. No, that's why I came.
Also, I am grand am nor. Is Grand Am?
He's a little crazier than you though.
He's got this thing with a sexy rat.
I don't get it. We don't do rats, elephants
sometimes. Anyway.
OK. But it's my plan.
A plan. You came here for a reason.
It came to me. You wanted to gauge me, trying
to put me down. Came to make you an offer.
What's that? You want to close yourself off
hideaway, I want to open offer you a door.
When this journey ends, come step through it and join me and
my brothers. Maybe.
What are you trying to do? What's your plan?
Story never ends, friend. The dream never ends because the
story never ends. OK, I feel like I'm talking to
Donald Trump right now. What's your plan?
Like what? What are you trying to
accomplish? I understand the dream never
ends, but like, I could accomplish that dream myself.
Why should we join forces? What are you trying to do?
I don't necessarily need to hide myself away, but if I could
secure a safe place, I will. And then maybe I'll move on from
there if we can. You know, the rest of the team
has to agree to it, too. I'm not the only one in this
party. But what do you we, we, we?
What is the Grand Dams trying to do?
Understand. OK, build a big library.
Gain more knowledge of the multiverse.
For what purpose? Just to know or to help.
We. To hurt or control.
All that stands as of now, between those that lie beyond
the mirror and those that well within it.
Really. They're not.
You're the ones that they're they're you're the only thing of
the way. My knowledge, I've never met
someone else like me. Got it.
There you go. Have you ever been there?
The other side. Yeah, another version of me went
there once, a bunch of them. He was angrier.
I just wish to understand you a bit more.
You are like me, but. And why don't we do this once a
week? We'll set up a lunch date.
We'll come here, we'll have lunch, talk about stuff,
reality, all that bullshit. If we survive, we survive.
If we get to know each other and become friends, decide to work
together, great. You can maybe meet the others.
They're not here right now, but. I think they have plans.
Speaking of which, I've taken enough of their time.
All right, it's. Good meeting you, Franklin
Pedro. Nice to meet you as well.
I reach out to like, shake his hand.
When you take his hand, he dissolves into a pile of bugs
and disappears. Oh, I love bugs, glad I didn't
have to kick him off the airlock all right.
Franklin continues setting up his tables and chairs, though
they would be outside the circle and they're creating a little
guest entry area, waiting for calls, and then we can go from
there. Yeah, that's a good spot for the
circle. Right in front of the door,
right in front of the airlock are.
You back anybody that? Yep.
Are you back anything you don't want inside?
Yep, it's down there. Circles failing?
Yep. Bye.
OK, we can go back. Yep, so that was all transpiring
as soon as Grand am Prime took the Astral Diamond to make the
trip to Ishmael's Infinite tower.
Everyone on Taareus and it by the Dragons hears kind of like a
faint, like the the sound of water boiling.
And you you see kind of a streak far off in the clouds, like a
meteor that's bright enough to be seen during the day.
And it's growing larger. And Zenith turns to Lono and
goes, well, if that isn't a sign.
And with without further ado, the meteor turns and heads
straight towards you guys. And it was slow, but as it
turned it almost looks like it. An angry.
Face in a blink in front of everyone, a boiling cloud of
nebulous material floats behind the Dragons, and 1 glowing orb
in the center of It comes with a presence that you can only
describe as authoritative, and it hums out with kind of a
little bit of a sloshing sound in it.
Someone has entered the The planer.
Or rather they've you've been charged with interplanetary or
intercell Systol contact and Zenith and Lono kind of float
off to the side and look at you guys and the the glowing orb
Nebula floats closer and says the offending culprits will be
diminished for the time until further prosecution could be
held. I am Udun.
Just going to just going to put their finger to their nose and
look around at everybody. All right, put my finger to my
nose. Finger to.
My nose. Nimaway does, and she almost
misses because she's just gaping at this thing.
Holy shit, look at that thing. Zero backs up and huts behind
the sale. Holy fuck that thing is huge is.
Your name and the. Party aware of that conversation
that just happened. No, the other party is not aware
of the conversation that just took place.
Sorry, I'm at the rest of the party like us.
No. Only Grand Am would be aware
that something had happened, but doesn't know of the
conversation, so no. But he also went cuckoo for Coco
puffs last time. Yeah, Zenith did heal him of
that for the most, for the most part.
I mean, he's still always got a little bit of Coco puffs, but.
I guess my question is, does him going cuckoo for Coco puffs when
he sent that message signal him out to the other team members
here that you just did something like does?
This. Everybody will know that.
Verbal cymatic blah blah blah. Everybody would know that he
just did something 'cause there was a door that you opened in
space like a that you went through.
Grand am right for that. I know it's just a communication
spell. Oh, OK.
What's the verbal contact? Other plan, because I'm trying
to think if it's. Yeah, it's just verbal, Yeah.
So you guys would have heard him say something, but I was trying
to think if like he was doing something that because
everyone's doing knows goes right, Yeah, Yeah.
Because if we don't know who just did it.
So I was trying. To see.
If Oh yeah it's a mental contact OK.
Stereo's going to look around at
everybody and start to find it. So y'all mean to tell me that
I've been here for less than 20 minutes and y'all already get me
in trouble with some intergalactic space thing?
I've come to the party. I did say we we were at war at.
Least you're not dead, but. This fella is doing less.
Does Grand Am know what this fella is?
How knowledgeable is this grand am of the multiverse?
But decently he's like he's not crazy knowledgeable compared to
like he's he's he was an initiate when I brought him
here. He ain't grand AM for sure.
I thought OK. I got a question.
Oh, I got something I want to do.
Hold on. I think I wanted it's sensitive.
You do it. Can I roll a religions check to
see if this is from any major like I don't I don't know how to
work, but like from any like coach coat that like pantheon
that I am aware of. Can I roll a religions check?
Absolutely. OK.
Kira's just going to pinch the bridge.
I got a, I got a 17. So what did I learn from this?
You know, as do most that have at one point resided in in Choi,
the place of the gods that AKA heaven, that the these entities
are slangly referred to as the Getty monsters and they roam the
Kazmir and uphold the laws that were it's set in place by the
Oh. Hell.
By by the celestials that guard the the different realms, yeah.
Not gonna lie, KIRO is pinching the bridge of his nose right
now. Hard.
Put it on a strainer hat. I'm I'm going to step up and try
to try to deescalate this situation.
Hold up, let me think. I don't want to wear this.
So while I'm thinking 0 just staying there touching the tip
of his nose with kind of a perplexed like look of
remembrance on his face as he's trying to figure out his next
steps for this. Well, first I want to share with
the rest of this little ragtag crew.
This is what the Celestial is commonly referred to as the
Spaghetti Monster. Or.
I resent that, says the giant ball.
I'm not the one who originated it, so you can you can take that
up with somebody else. I just catch under the trend
because I was never taught the real name of your species.
However, they are here to enforce the rules put in by the
gods over the different realms and plan and solar systems and
all and different planes of existence.
These cops. Pretty pretty much, pretty much.
So I. Scar off our stars.
Use the rug now. What?
What is so wrong with communication between beings?
Because the way you're making it sound seems like we did
something inherently wrong. However, in my view, we didn't
do anything different than talking to one another because
we didn't do anything besides attempts to communicate, which
is all that we're doing right now.
We're sitting here having a conversation and communicating.
So with your logic, what you say we allegedly did would be as
wrong as this. You talking, talking to us and
having a conversation with us currently?
And the nebula floats one of its curving arcs off into what looks
can only be described as a tendril or a or a noodle, and
has a list that appears. There is no alleging this is
transgression has transpired in this location and he holds out
the the list and points down here.
It appears to be one that is known of the transgressions, a
grand AM. So.
But by your logic, him communicating with them is as
wrong as you communicated with me, since it was just
communication, so therefore you were also a criminal of said
transgression. Current Grand Am raises his
hand. There is no response.
It doesn't doesn't seem to follow that.
I5 it. Doesn't seem to understand
Zenith, though does chime in and says you might as well speak
your piece. Who said?
Who 00's eyes wide and his head snaps around to look directly at
Grand Am with his hand over his nail.
I am not here to beg butter. I am only here to issue the
punishment for the crime. And he one of his another newly
appendage comes out with a what you probably just be described
as a Mason jar filled with clear liquid.
You must ingest this. All of it.
Zero says in his most, most like, I don't know, like.
No. Who said you're not allowed to?
No. Is he really be like fucking
spaghetti sauce? Give it to me.
Is it really? I mean I'm you know 0 chimes in
and says it could be moonshine so who knows.
Mima is actively trying to go grab the bottle.
I don't know how close that thing is to the the ship, but
Mima is like that shit. It's like looking at Lono like
Lono help like it's. Right at going right at the
prowl of the ship and it it's floating over that point
basically with it's with. The with.
The. Zero's gonna if Mimi's not
following us. Zero's gonna let Mimi stand on
his back. It has a step stool.
Does it really? Interesting.
Maybe I can't actually reach it. Maybe it's like like leaning
over the front of the ship or like jumping up to try to get
it. Yeah, gladly it takes Zero's
help to get to. It Yeah.
How big is the space? Jar.
We're. We're we're talking in normal
size for for your guys. So I can hold it in one hand.
Serial is gonna let me May stand on his shoulders like a
cheerleader. And grand am you were trying to
say something. First off, nobody said it was
illegal. Second off, it's not really
interdimensional contact, interpersonal contact when
you're talking to yourself. The law does not distinguish
you've contacted a place outside of this solar system.
I again reiterate I am not here to negotiate, only issue
punishment. Grand Am must drink of this.
What does this potion do? It's obviously spaghetti sauce
and so me may just like is ignoring everything and just
assume if me may can grab it. Is it a Mason jar?
Yeah, yeah, it's just going to like be opening it and if
nothing, yeah, if nothing inner yeah.
So on the screen to be strong, so intervenes.
That's it. So yeah, me and I just like
going to grab this thing and open it and just like take a
swig. Not we're not chugging it, but
like taking a healthy swig for sure.
I'm lifting. We may, I'm lifting, we may up
and then to let them try it and with hopes of me also getting
returned. I'm not in the right chat.
I need to go here. Yes I do.
Don't lie. It is very strong.
So as soon as you take the lid off of it, the vapours
immediately assault your senses and you.
Yes. You feel the burn before it even
gets close to your lips. Get off.
You're just yells. It's like cinnamon mixed with
ghost Peppers mixed with like some kind of acid.
And with the with the gulp that you took you are already drunk
condition. Yes.
You know what? Hey gently since grand am grand
am. Over snags the bottle and I was.
Suspended like I was shared. My he wraps his seeing other
people into like drinking this. He wraps his entire mouth around
the like mouth of the Mason jar and just tilts his head back,
taking it all. It's so greedy you took.
You drank it all, you said. As instructed, I'm not having
the TPK on Grand Am's behalf also.
So you mean, so you mean to tell me that I was the one that
helped me may get up and you're not even going to let me take a
drink of it? Really.
I got 1 drink I guess. Really.
That's you guys going to shed a tear, right?
Good old man. I'll test.
I'll check another. Plane again, Cyril.
Cyril holds me, is holding me my bridal style and just glaring at
Grand down with the most irritated, conniving and
judgmental look on his face. OK, you are currently then now
blackout grand am. You've passed, surpassed, drunk,
you have no memory of what you do after this, and you have the
poison condition as well as being.
But just straight up no dwarven heritage helping me out here.
Not from intergalactic moonshine, sorry buddy.
OK. That's exactly what I said.
That is exactly what I said. I said it looked like moonshine.
And. The punishment is get trashed.
There's. One minute is one other expect.
I love it. Oh.
Hey Nebula. Hey Nebula, Do you happen to
have another drawer of that for convenience?
And we should we should all commit the.
Punishment. The punishment has been
attributed. And then he starts to hum and
then shoots in a blink again. Wait.
How is Grand AM not just puking his guts out right now?
Because he's he, he, he's like that happy black out.
OK, so zero's gonna. Great punishment for you.
But still holding me like hero's gonna walk over to grand and
snatch snatch the empty jar and put the lid back on and.
Yeah, you could just ask. Ask.
You got to ask the ship to make more of that if you can, if you
there's like a tiny sample. Yeah, 0 is going to hold on to
the empty jar with residue in it.
I'm going to ask you guys to roll these because I rolled
these and it doesn't see you. I didn't like those rolls.
Could you roll me AD 8 mommy or mime and grand am?
Could you roll me AD 12? I'm.
Like glad I didn't drink anything.
I wish I would have drank something.
Expect I'm about to lose a level or something.
So it is supposed to be a punishment?
That's what the guy said. Is the punishment getting free
booze? If so, I will commit all the
intergalactic crime. 00 still holding Mama is going to turn
and look at the raw sons. OK, that's yeah, I like those
rules much better. What I don't?
Know what that I don't know what you're referring to by that, but
this could go one of two ways. Oh, it's it's going away so.
That does not. Work.
For 10 hours grand am and for four hours me.
May you have lost and Lono gets this sudden face drawn look to
his face and his eyes bulge as your contact with him is severed
for that time and you guys cannot cast spells for that
period of time. For 10.
Hours we cannot get in a. Fight, let a long.
Rest right now I'm. Gonna, I'm gonna look.
At. But you're but you're drunk, you
know, blackout. You don't remember anything.
Here's the thing, we also are in the middle of the war we're
currently in the middle of. We go to the Crystal Tower.
Hey, guys, you got diamonds. There's something about
diamonds. We mean diamonds.
Now diamonds. Heroes.
We have diamonds. I hold up a sack of diamonds.
And diamonds. Shy, bright like a diamond.
Here's my. Diamond.
Like a diamond, shy, bright like a.
Diamond, So you're going to look at Nimor and if I babysit this
if if I babysit this one can do you think you can handle Grand
Am or would that be more of a KIRO type situation?
KIRO says, still holding mommy or mime bridal style.
I think we need to divide and conquer.
Yes. You take them.
I'll take him. We need pretzels.
Does anyone hear? No.
I will get pretzels. Yes, we need pretzels.
Also some some water for hydration would be amazing.
OK, I I look up at this guy and I say, hey Adune, can you
pretzels and the Waldorf? And Adune.
Adune respond post haste, of course, of course.
And two hands pop out of the deck, out of the planking and
holding requested items. I hand my sack of astral
diamonds to the Admiral because she keeps singing about them.
Here you go. Yeah.
And so, so I'm going to like pass them out to everybody.
You get a diamond and you get a diamond.
Check under your seats. You get a diamond.
I think you have to put the diamonds.
In a container so she can tip it back and forth and look at it.
This is what we do for the young ones in the castle.
And so Mimi's going to walk up to you and just put one down
your shirt. 01 she's. Ace.
Something she's speechless. 0. Wants to say something.
Zero is just going to like look around with a smug look on his
face as if he's had to take a sip of this before and he knows
the consequences so he so he just sits there holding me my
very content with a very content cocky smirk on his face.
So how is Grand Dam responding to this all too since he's black
out? That's what I'm thinking of my
problem. Oh well, here's the thing.
Grand Dam's not going to remember any of this.
Nope. Also, if he so, that doesn't
include any magical abilities at all, including bulge.
Yep. All right.
Please don't have sex with me that.
No, that wasn't what I was go about to happen.
Thank God. Mother of God Grand AM is going
to go find that weed plant he awoke though the what the weed
plant he cast awaken on. Oh, so he goes.
There's a sentient weed plant, he.
Goes walking back into the crew corridors with Nim away.
I'm guessing chasing after. Yes, yes, she is holding up her
skirts, rushing after him. I was going to chase after them,
after them, but he's still holding me there.
I'm just going to shout after everybody.
Take your diamonds and take a nap.
It's nap. Time.
So I'm going to look at 0 and I'm going to be like to my
hammock, to my hammock. Yes, awkward.
Do you need to put? Everyone down. 00 looks down at
Mimi and nods before yelling. How about we both just tie them
to their sleeping spots so that way they can't get up, granddam
can't smoke and they can't do anything reckless.
Can we just do that? Do we have rope readily
available? If Swarry calm him, I think as
long as we have them contained within a room then we'll be
good. What?
That mean you're pretty much playing babysitters for the
next. Necessary.
I am an adult and I will do what I want.
You're an incapacitated adult. You're an.
Inclasticated Adult. You're a constipated.
Adult, I'm the one holding you. I could literally drop you on
the floor head first right now if I so choose.
So I pick your words wise. Giro.
Giro walks take me to my. Hero walks over to 0 like the
Admiral. Please.
That was as much of A you get. Very.
Possible. Admiral.
Or. I take the Admiral.
Hey Kira, do you have a name? For her.
You May is going to give a like a salute.
To. Kira.
Sera is going to give me may to Kira and then look around and
like kind of snarkily say y'all do realize I'm the only one who
has experienced this before so I can I know the can't like all of
the repercussions of this, right?
Y'all aren't and or are they just drunk like y'all aren't
gonna? Wait, what's the problem?
They are very drunk, yes. But.
More. There's more to it than just.
You guys, you guys. Can you cast spells?
I'm not a caster. You guys, I've never don't.
Know how to check them for poison?
Quite. Fond of you too, granddam.
And. She's panting them the last, the
last time that I had, the last time that I had said punishment.
I mean, I don't really think punishment.
I had a good time but to my remembrance, which is not much
honestly because I've chugged the whole thing but from what I
was told. I mean, it's going to start
falling asleep. With you can't.
Touch girls you take you lose a couple of health.
Points. And you're drunk for an
unspecified amount of time. Yes, that's.
Why she's going to bed. Yeah, KIRO is generally rocking
the Admiral and taking the Admiral back to her hammock to
sleep off the hangover. And basically, yes, Admiral,
everything will go according to plan, everything will be fine.
And is that one? Well, maybe he pops back.
Weight and shoves the diamond and.
It smells. Lipstick. 0 looks at grand down
and like sizes him up looks looks him up and down.
You do realize you're going to be have you're going to get
really hungry in about 20 minutes, right?
You like, you realize that that's also a side effect of
this. You don't want to be here when
it happens. Are you going to eat Grand Am?
Is he going to eat you? That's why he says you shouldn't
be here. I mean the only I mean, I get
that I have feathers, I get that I have wings, but we also have a
chicken. All.
Right, doesn't exist right now. Oh, anyway.
Who on this ship can cook? They donate, she cooks
everything. He makes stuff for us.
We don't I. Can handle desserts, but dinner?
'S I don't. I don't want to do chores.
My siblings will for you, but no.
Grand Am. What's your favorite food?
What do you crave? Grand Am.
With my hand in front of his face, thinking my head fallen
asleep. Am I muted?
You might have been muted. I want.
Chicken. Oh, you ever had?
Bear Jerky. I.
Have not 0. 0 is going to 0 is going to slightly no Gerardo and
hold up the empty Mason jar and how much you want to bet.
I can see I can figure out what this is made of and.
Easily. Hey, don't I?
Or do you want this to be a challenge?
Do you want to do it? I want I want to try to do it
but if I fail I don't I can floaty.
Sure. I mean, I believe in you.
We have a brewing stand that has been abandoned for a while, but
we just finished a big fight. I'm going to go lay down for a
bit and I hold up the diamond. It sounds like the Admiral took
one of these and she wants to do something at the tower.
I don't know what but. I'm trying to figure out which
check I want to roll this. I don't have any good ones that
would be related to this so. Usually it is you.
You can always as as per usual, ask me.
That is that is what I prefer first to met.
It could either be. Can I do a religionship?
No, not in this case, because this is something to do with
more of your. Medicine.
Wisdom and intellect medicine is a potential is what I was
thinking. I you you could could argue.
I read the Nature 1 and it says terrain, plants, animals and
weather so I don't know how well that would be.
Yeah, the the best. Would be the best one.
The best one would probably be medicine from OK.
I have a + 0. I have a + 0 in that, so as long
as I roll hot that should be good.
I rolled A10 Even so. You're able to get it going to
something, but you will know for sure exactly after a few days
because you know that it takes a while.
What was this that was just done?
He. So I was trying to recreate the
intergalactic moonshine for my for my knowledge about what it
was. You went to this part of the
ship over here in the crew quarters that is littered.
With because I have no clue where it is, so I'm.
Trying to find you. I'm right next to a new one.
There we go. You went over over to an area
that looks like it's got some red feathers strewn about it.
So you know that it. Yeah.
That vague recollection of a chicken that you had must live,
live here regularly and spend their time.
And you start using some of the equipment that is already set
out. It looks like somebody would set
up some wine, some from from some fruits and some other notes
on experiments and such, and you set up a a pot with some some
ingredients that you found around to try and recreate this.
OK, 0 is going to yell for the world and say I mean this is
going to take a couple of days but there is some wine over here
if anybody else is interested. I can play babysitter.
I'm fine with that. I've done experiences plenty of
times before, so if anybody wants help, I don't.
Mind helping? I don't mind helping babysit,
but a glass of wine will make it even better.
And she? She floats over Cerro.
'S going to use Cerro's. Going to pop the cork off with a
dagger if you and can I get some glasses please?
A Dune obliges and brings up one of her hands, of course.
OK, I'm gonna set out. I don't know how many rolls
there are, but I'm gonna set out about 5 or 6 glasses.
Three of them awake, one of them has now joined the captain and
taking a nap, but the three will.
There are 6 glasses sat at the table that I'm closest to so. 0
is going to call for Kira. Kira, are you interested at all
or is this just going to be a raw and name away thing?
What is it that you need 'cause I'm pretty sure he's made it.
He's made it to the hammock, he's made it to the hammock to
drop off the Admiral and return. He he I just popped open a
bottle of wine that I found by the brewing station.
Does this mean that Grand Am has been left alone?
I was imagine that Nimoy would usher him with her.
OK is grand am struggling against this or just enjoying
his toque while being. He can be dragged around as long
as he's enjoying his synthian weed.
OK, Yeah. Like he's he's at this point,
he's cross fighting, so he needs like something.
So weed planet watch you smoke it.
The weed plant smokes. Does Ant smoke?
Yeah. Ciao bro, just pull the nug off.
Oh. I used to grow Planting the
Sunshine LP. And strong girls gonna gently,
gently take the blunt away from Grand Am puppet.
And then we can give it back to. You're going to need to Grand
Am's blackout at this point, so he's not going to remember
anything that would actually happen to him from those
effects, but you're going to need to rule a Constitution
saving throw from that. Which one of those?
That'd be you 0. OK, I'm fine with that if.
Kira was in. If Kira was in the right state
of mind, he would probably have tried to stop you, but he is
currently having an existential crisis, sort of.
That's him again. A10 Hey.
Good. Yeah, you.
You feel good. Your movement speed has been
reduced by 10 and you you, you have an an A -, 1 on your
intelligence checks. Anything related to intelligence
right now, but you have a plus. He already has a negative ruler
on anything so. -2 right now And then you have a plus one
probably in your charisma right now in addition to your armor.
OK, he's got, he's already got plus 3 charisma, so that's gonna
come that's gonna be interesting. 0 is going to look
over and anyway and give a very in smile, but he has a very
glazed overlook on his. And overall, you feel like
everything that you were doing doesn't really matter all that
much anymore. And why are you doing it
anyways? This is all great and
everything's great. It's fine.
He never he he does what he wants anyways so that doesn't
change anything. Seriously look over at the world
and stutter a little bit and stumble on his words that he's
processing the. Hey buddy, how's it going?
Do you want to start a riot? Hello.
Hi. I'm kind of hungry.
Though don't I has. Food.
I don't know what I want, though.
She was going to go and start in very, like slowly, very started
the pot with her eyes slightly squinted as the pot of
intergalactic moonshine question mark, because he doesn't know if
he's like, the right thing yet. He thinks he does, but yeah, so
he's just going to go and stir the pot of mystery liquid
slowly. OK.
If that's what you guys are doing, well, I'll shift over
then to rural and Admiral Mimet in the Infinite Tower.
You guys closed your eyes. How do?
You want to go. And got a soft wash to your
consciousness as if you just had a long, long rested.
Those feelings that you had before too aren't persisting for
yourself. It seems like me may have been
drunk specifically, but you find yourselves in front of the desk
of Ishmael who greets you both. So thank you.
I'm not actually sure if you've both been there.
You May's never been here. If I recall.
It's always Mama that's been. That's what I thought.
I didn't see your token in here. I didn't think rural had
necessarily either, but you're. Been here I.
Was trying to find. We've we've done good campaigns
in the Tower before. That's what I I don't remember
doing them. That's the thing.
The. Chess game.
The chess game. It was, yeah, the chess game.
And they, there was a room, there was a room that had like a
like some sort of like industrial use and we just
fucked it up making like mushroom soup or something.
There's a tree with lightning debt or I I.
Don't know but. It was more so just me trying to
re go back through to. So Ishmel looks up from his book
and goes. Rarl.
Rarlson am I? Right, you got that, buddy.
A new player has joined the tower, may I have your name?
How you doing? He's looking at me, May.
May is just going to look back. May may I have your name?
He looks over. It well, oh.
OK, mime. Just mime or.
Yes. OK, Mime.
Yes, got it. I think I was alerted to let you
join Franklin, if that rings a bell.
You may as just kind of shrug. Not sure what that response
means, but Shamel does blink over to Franklin for a second
and say finger guns. Say I've got I've got 2 here for
you. Again, quite a busy day for you.
We've got a mime, yes. And Raul Rawlson.
MIME. Yes, That's what they said I
think. OK, I don't think that's her
last name. She's just an interesting sort.
But yeah, for sure let them in. If anyone else happens to pop in
later, please have them join us. I was hoping for more, but you
know the Admiral is in. Charge.
You say anyone I should always. No, not that.
Just anyone. I run it by you first, right?
That's why I just wanted to check.
For sure, I don't want that loophole.
All right, well, I'll be back. Or rather, I'll send them.
Send them down. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Even links back over to you get rural and Mimi and is all right
Mimi, yes, said Rarl Rarlson. You may descend down the stairs
back there if you're looking to meet with Franklin.
Oh. Cool, is that what they're
doing? I hop up.
Yeah, we'll also just follow and go down the stairs or wherever.
Oh. Wait, I'll.
I'll learn some of the were we. Allowed to go with them.
Yeah, that will. We may hand it out a bunch of
the astral diamonds and was telling people to go to sleep to
join us. I guess KIRO will join y'all too
in the sleekness. Yeah, so anyone who wants to has
access and can join. And Cyril can do it because why
not as? Long as Grand Am is awake, no
one's awake. I mean, this is the first
physical meeting between teams in the game.
I don't I don't know who Ishmael is.
I'm a little confused on that part, but I'm going along with
it. Just want.
To Grand Am Grand Am will go after he's eaten fair.
Enough a dune with. The girls at the pot back on the
burner and just sat down on the floor and just laid back.
With an astral diamond in your mouth, I'm guessing.
Yes. All right, And Nimaway probably
would have followed then Grand Dam to the kitchen, where Dune
said that she'd whip something up and she she makes her tree
form and whips up a batch of grilled cheeses and tomato soup
for Grand Grand Dam Nimaway. Get some bear jerky or can you
procure? He will absolutely take.
He will absolutely take, he will absolutely take grilled cheese
into me. He was just about nonsense when
he said that he'll he will eat a grilled cheese.
Fantastic. I have changed my answer love.
To hear it. Grilled cheese is best food.
Yeah, cereal. Cereal that felt dead center of
that green alchemy circle on the floor.
I imagine Grand Am as one of those people who just has a
grilled cheese sandwich in his pocket.
Literally. Saying that as.
Somebody who used to put pocket have.
Pocket chicken it. It he Grandnam doesn't use like
grilled cheese, he seems like he would have like a Patty melt in
his pocket, like a Patty melt on toast specifically that that
would be what he would have. So Oh yeah, that's probably why
you guys couldn't see any stuff too.
But so, yeah, everyone lays down and pops in, it looks like to
Ishmel as he's sitting back down at his desk.
OK. I don't know what Ishmel is.
So you know, give me a slight more deeper you want.
I kind of know what I'm doing. I need to actually go back to
over to that because I thought I grabbed you too, but I
apparently did not. Here, here, close.
Come on, there we go, click back over here and he greets Grand Am
and KIRO with a nod. Grand Am and KIRO Kampachi.
Anthony Ishmael, nice to see you again and.
He looks at Zero and Nimaway. I don't believe I've met your
friends though. Could I get your names?
Also, Granddam, would you like me to add an something to yours?
It might get a little confusing in here otherwise.
The same. Do you grand am sandwich?
No, this is a Grand Am sandwich. He holds up his grilled cheese.
So OK, but you want me to add some and do you have a last
name? Or.
Kellidor. OK.
Is that different from the other Grand Am Kellidor?
What? My designation I'm grand am
A3265905. Were you born in a lab 9?
16 there's a. Lot of this.
OK. Well, that's the tower should be
able to keep. Track of that but.
It's confused because my siblings names all rhyme with
RARL. And your two names and he looks
between Nimaway and 0. So Nimaway kind of, she's kind
of startled that she's in a place that she did not fall
asleep in and she's looking around the room and she goes,
you may not have my name, but you may call me Nimaway.
Kay, he's not Faye. Yeah, I guess they didn't
explain. I'm not one of those.
I'm. An exiled God.
I think I've been telling the story, but I don't think
everybody must have told you the story.
I reside in outside of time and space inside of my infinite
tower here. Yes, we just talked about this
and your shoulders kind of slump referencing what just happened
with the moonshine. Didn't we just wouldn't we just
reprimanded for such behavior? Zero while they're having this
conversation, 0 is going to excellent, excellent.
Finally, walk over to the globe and spend it a few times.
How do you see why I was confused?
Yeah, we haven't been. We've done this before, but we
haven't gotten yelled at and made to drink nice whiskey.
Oh, you got a visit from a Spaghetti Monster?
In response to that Grand Am. Belch Hero is just going to look
over at the crowd and you know, see, I wasn't lying about the
Spaghetti Monster. It's real.
That is what we call it. It is real.
Would you say Grand Am though? I didn't catch that last part.
Grand AM, in response to that statement, belches very
violently and drunkenly. That seems to be the case.
You don't. You're no longer drunk in this
space, though, if you didn't know.
He looks at you, so that's your own affectation there.
But I get it. It's hard to relinquish the
feelings of the flesh. It took me a while anyways.
Point of order real quick when when I was told that May May was
here, I would have linked up to my swarm to then let the rest of
team Shadowhunters or shadow seekers also know so that any of
them who wish to join can also join.
Oh, Columbus Seminar. Columbus Heater.
So it's not just Franklin and team good guys, it's anyone
currently here who wants to be here from either side.
Columbus very social social and I.
Yeah, I, I and as Franklin in it, I will explain like, hey,
this is a meeting between US and another team or, you know, give
the whole kind of rundown. It'll take a while here, but
essentially they already know his position on the gods.
They already know that he thinks that there's another team out
there that's equal and opposite of them.
They know he's been contacting people outside.
So he lays out all of the information he he has and kind
of gives them an update with. Ezra has the mental capacity to.
No, he doesn't, but like I'm saying it so he's there, so he
feels included. Oh, you're such a good friend.
I really need to get you on awaken spellbide.
Hats off. Would we be acting both
characters in this session? Yeah.
I was not prepared for that. Get prepared.
As as Team Shadowhunters is preparing himself sedative
Kelly, Kelly is going to look at Mama and just say I'll go if you
do. If Mama Ash goes, Ezra always
goes. She's not here right now.
Yeah, Ash doesn't exist. Who is?
Yeah, who is enticing us to come and treating Frank?
I am. Franklin.
I am trying to, I, I, I lay
everything out like I lay everything out.
I'm trying to get a meeting between us and another version
of us. Now it's kind of like everybody,
everybody's on the same page on that side.
Nobody know. There's no secrets like hell
between anybody. Is that the kind of the?
That's that's my intent as Franklin on that side.
Yeah, he's held on to a lot of a lot of secrets, but he kind of
lays everything out. His intent, which is essentially
to seal this section off of the system, remove influence of the
gods, let us all live free and or if we have to escape, we know
that there is a spaceship on level 2 of Hell and we know now
that they are building 1 on level 1.
So there are two ships. Yeah, so Mama is inclined to go
with Franklin, not because Mama thinks it's a good idea, but
because Franklin needs supervision.
And Kelly's going to go with Mama Goes.
I was trying to run. Together and talk.
Franklin also needs supervision. He has an Ezra.
Ezra also needs super fish well. Ezra.
Needs an adult guessing that means Faust.
Faust attends as well. Yes, OK.
Kelly's going to go on to supervise Ezra.
Mama can supervise Franklin. And so you guys all lay down
after your fight in the pocket Rocket.
We'll get to that next session, but just to breeze over it and
take the Astro Diamond and wake up in that room already, because
you guys all have access via Franklin, who was preordained,
who could come from that side of things.
It's kind of like a guest guest list situation.
So once you're once you're in, as long as you give permission
to Ishmael, Yeah, go right there's.
Definitely on Ishmael's like table.
A box that says please insert alleyopolis torque into lead
box. You can hold on to lead box but
keep that shit sealed. All right, and.
All and all holy symbols. Agonon would not have gone.
No, he would have just out of curiosity and he would feel at a
disadvantage if he was not a part of those conversations.
Agonon is the one that I know absolutely nothing about.
Like, I know he's a little bit about everybody else, but
Callie. Callie hasn't met Agonon in this
one yet. Nope.
Yeah, that that was Squirrel is not.
We'll get to those. He doesn't say much and he's
very skittish. For sure, because.
Then imagine. OK, so for Agnon, imagine a
cross between Captain Jack Sparrow and Flynn from Tangled.
Oh, I I I get exactly the vibe. OK, that was the perfect
reference to. OK, so upstairs, upstairs and in
Ishmael's greeting chamber there, Rarl and Mimi would have
seen the other crew popping into existence that they're, and
probably just standing there holding the elevator door like,
well, he, he's asking for Nimaway and Ciro's names and he
writes down Nimaway. And to your question there,
Madam, this space exists outside of the touch of any gods or
rules of the other gods and celestials.
Well, that's a relief. Thank you. 00 is going to look
over at Grand AM and just size him up.
So you mean to tell me there was this space that we could have
avoided the whole punishment situation if you would have just
contacted them from here, since the rules are kind of invalid
here? I laugh.
I'm was still committed in the general world.
Zero is just going to roll his eyes and continue spinning the
globe that he's excited. About well, winged Sir, I need
your name still. Zero.
I don't have a surname that was taken from me after I was, you
know, vanished to hell. But that's besides the point.
That's a really long last name you got there.
Zero. I don't have a last name.
It's been taking for me because I has been banished to hell.
That's. His.
Last name Zero is just going to glare over and choose not to
acknowledge. That well, that's how it's going
to be recorded in the Tower for now.
I've. Just he blinks like his form and
figure seems to shimmer and blink.
Franklin, I think I got the rest of the crew here just want to
run the names by you so that they're on the guest list.
They got a KIRO, Grand Am, Nimaway and 0.
Great. All right.
I look over my shoulder, assuming whoever from our side
is already now in the room. Because they get to, they just
get to come here. Yeah, Callie's probably sat
somewhere just fanning herself with her little wharfing.
Yeah, I'm thinking there's like a big like round circular table
split in half, one side painted one color, one side painted the
other. Yeah, Callie.
Callie's just sat on her side, just painting herself.
How's Franklin currently look right now?
In this space, he would look. Yeah, he would.
He would look regular. He's not in a dream, so he he
looks like a monster. Yeah.
So he's just a shiny monster at this point because he's.
Yeah, so I am covered in bugs providing a facsimile of flesh,
though I am now wearing a very Palpatine esque shimmer robe, so
I am mostly covered. Kylie since Kylie just been her
basic little Beachy outfit with her little net bag sat like she
has the leg of the chair sat through like the handle of her
bag so nobody steals it. Yeah, that's smart.
You can't trust these guys. Well, we're hoping we could
trust these guys, but, you know, like, baby, there's a thief like
ropes, you know, classes. I don't know.
So. You just gonna follow your
friends over there down the elevators And he pointing to
rural and Mimae, who seem to be holding an elevator door open
for you guys. Wave.
Zero's gonna do like 0's gonna like, tuck and roll into the
elevator door. Cool.
Just to be extra. KIRO, he stays as the last man
to go in, so he's the first man out in case of danger.
Nice. Remember ceilings and the doors,
corners and doors? North and doors.
OK, we're all here. So it's at the.
Bottom Nim away in grand. Am following the Dustin too,
just confirming. Yeah.
OK so you guys all crammed into this elevator shoulder to
shoulder. This thing is not meant space
wise for this many people. You can tell, but it doesn't
seem to struggle as it glides down whatever system that it's
working off of. And KIRO, the door opens and
KIRO almost is pushed out. Slash stumbled from the amount
of people that come out of the elevator at this point, and you
see a Immaculate space that, as I've described before, which is
a the last floor that looks out into Astari Abyss, a nebula not
far from your feet. It's a.
Glowing circle to one side, big circular table in the middle,
half the chairs, kind of, I would assume already taken.
No, I'm gonna say that Kelly chose to sit next to Ezra and
his shoulder to shoulder with him just in case she needs to be
protected. Oh yeah, you've got your two
characters meeting in the space with a table and chairs and.
So for from the KIRO side, he's gonna take stock of what's
across like as he exits what's across from him.
So he notices from what he sees is a Goliath, a dog, a human, a
orc, and his eyes will land directly on the man in the hood.
I wiggle my fingers, finger bones and us and like a little
wave. And that's.
Kelly's you can just just see a little bit.
Of my like skull face. Sorry.
Go ahead, Kelly. 'S gonna gently nudge Franklin
and just look at him with like a slight tinge of disgust on her
face from the bone wiggling. What, you don't like that?
I'm sure you're in there. Who in there right mind would
really? Kiro's hand will move to his
Admiral. We have undead.
Oh, hold on one second. I got to deal with this stand up
Admiral. Thank you for joining us.
KIRO. Nice to see you again.
Hello everyone, welcome finally like to introduce myself.
My name is Franklin. And I remember the last time I
talked to you, I said I would console your soul.
You would. You can't hear, You can't die
here, See. So this is safe.
After that this is what you. Call a neutral territory.
You can't die. Oh yeah, I turned to cure.
Oh, you can't die here. If you actually die, you'll just
wake up in real life, so like, don't worry.
After that, it said zero is just going to vary with a lack of
caution. Walk up and sit in one of the
chairs, knowing that he can't be physically harmed.
Chow chow, chow chow chow chow. Listen, I know you probably have
some biased against me. I don't think anybody sitting at
the table so far other than 0. I'll sit down.
Or I assumed I was already sitting.
Yeah, you guys had said from the shadow seekers side, everyone
was sitting, but yeah, I was talking about.
Except for Ezra, Ezra's totally just rolling around on the
ground not paying attention. But he's rolling next to Kelly,
just in case she needs a little. Moral Sport.
Protection just. In case.
There's no protection needed. We can't die here.
Even if we get dual fight, it'll be fine.
I don't want to fight right. I don't view you as biota bees.
Even if you do see some of you see bees an enemy, that's OK.
You know, first impressions matter, and I obviously don't
make a great first one. So.
So Kelly's. Going to look over at Franklin
and double check something that she learned.
So you're so you need to tell me that they're like the yen to our
Yang, kind of like we're we're opposites that complement each
other. You're actually getting 2
feedbacks currently to it. So as Alex you are seeing
through the eyes of 0 and Cali but you guys aren't connected at
this point. You don't realize other than
you, Alex, knowing that. At this point.
Probably the same correct in Grand Am.
Yep, for. Everyone debrief like Cali
saying that oh like explaining everything.
Yeah. And during that debrief I
probably would have mentioned those who have not experienced
the eurythmic veracity don't have that like innate connection
to their other. Cali's.
Cali's is going to have no clue. What that means so.
I get it. I don't want to give you the big
details because that's what you wouldn't believe that anyway I
got in trouble for. Doing that earlier.
So sorry. Anyway, I looked the Admiral.
Sorry, we're rambling. We'd like to have just an honest
and open discussion about our goals, about the end of the
world that is eminently approaching about the situation
that we currently have and. Which we can solve by purging
the undead. KIRO taps the tip the the tip of
his a hilt. Yes, that is part of the
discussion. I gesture at the chair that I
would like to have with you. I understand you don't like me.
You think I'm not dead. You think I deserve to rot in
hell or like be passed on. I think you're right, but I'm
not done yet. Kira will not sit, but he will
stand right behind the Admiral that she sings.
Yeah. So like Mimi is not going to sit
down. Mimi is going to stand over here
to the side your mommy, the me, me and mommy were just kind of
like gravitate towards each other over to the side like.
We don't. We don't have to.
Sit, Everything's fine. I don't know.
Is Mimi still drunk here? Is Mimi a little cast magic?
Yes, still drunk. Not drunk can cast magic.
Oh, OK, so the effects. Of the.
Spaghetti sauce. Aren't here?
OK, cool. So as soon as Nimaway steps out
of the elevator and sees Agonon, she'll take two steps out and
freeze. And he sees her at the same
moment, and he stands up, legs of his chair screaming
backwards, and they just have a moment where they're staring at
each other. She's staring daggers.
And he's surprised, and it's just a brief pause on her end.
But then she composes herself and continues to walk over and
sits directly across from him. And during that whole
conversation, the whole monologue from Franklin, they're
just glaring at each other across the table.
Oh, no words. Tension.
See, some of us know each other from before.
And he sits back down. Great, this is going to be
great. They jalapeno poppers.
If anyone's hungry, I'm on the table anyway.
Ezra went food, food, food, food, food.
Food, food. And.
I don't worry, I have six more plates.
That one's big just for him. It looks like then Ezra would
probably. I've got as many chairs as I can
get around this thing, but I'm guessing that Ezra is probably
just standing on the OR near the table anyhow and eating the
whatever falls. Yeah.
And then the only person we haven't heard from.
Yeah, it's Grand Dam and Faust. I just seen Grand Am zoom across
to over to where Franklin was about to sit though.
Is that what? Is that what?
Happened over in my chair. I just met grand am prime too.
Weird lot. I see.
Faust there. Are you, are you muted?
Are you trying to talk? Beat Jesus.
Yes, I'm I'm muted. OK fun grand am.
The scoot is bee lining for the jalapeno poppers.
Oh no. Oh no.
There's extra. Don't worry, don't worry.
That bowl is yours. You got to leave this bowl for
the others. Hold it mine.
If you do, maybe I'll let you eat someone.
And damn, it's already. Dead and justify to be dead.
And absolutely growl at his God. OK, I back up.
They're going to get into a fight.
They're waving her fans judgmentally, and Cyril sits
there with his arms crossed, lean back in the chair.
Anyway, great start. Great start, guys.
Yeah, so your rhythmic veracity approaches only a couple weeks
away, right Admiral? She knows.
And from my understanding, you guys have been approached by
several gods who wish to elevate you to the position of godhood
and blow up the moon. Is that our dream?
The moon exploding. Is or defy the gods, it is our
job to serve them. And you are pretty dogmatic.
Does everyone agree with that? Everyone.
Stand up and say her piece. I don't think it's our job to
serve the gods, although I feel indebted to one of them for
stuff that has happened in the past.
I don't at all feel entitled to serve her other than work with
her for a better future on whatever planet we make all
this. So I'm not at all worried about
feeling indebted or servitude towards the God.
But you were still entitled to feel however you want.
So. And then she's going to sit back
down and pull her chair closer to the table.
Thank you. Nimaway will stand If the gods
are cowering and we have the opportunity to step up and fill
the void that they have left, I say that this is our
responsibility. Do you think you'd be a good
God? Fair.
Where all that? Is it seems.
I guess my question is to my understanding of the situation.
Update me if I'm wrong. The solar system that we
currently live in is separated off from the rest of the
realities, which is the what they're trying to maintain right
now. Inside of the system there are
currently 4 gods, 2-3, maybe 3, maybe 4.
Too good, too evil. Oh.
Kelly's going to look over at Franklin and say I mean 5 if you
can count the fact that I did have contact with my effort ID
from my planet when I was knocked unconscious by the fall,
but I don't know if that counts. So rules for thee but not for
me, right? Because you guys just got in
trouble for contacting outside of this system, but they can
contact you. Or is she here?
This was last time in the evil 1 after Callie was knocked out
from fall damage, Aphrodite like appeared to her in her
unconscious or like in her psyche and was like it's not
your time, you still have more stuff that you need to do, your
life isn't over yet. And she was able to buy Ash.
Think that's Adm call. Yeah, I was just about to say it
may not have. It may not have been the goddess
Aphrodite, but it it could have been a God.
A goddess that is no longer in system known as arrows.
Also I have a question. Yeah.
What is that? What is below the table 'cause
I'm just seeing a big missing texture spot.
Carpet. No, OK, no, not like physically,
not physically below the table, but like lower down on the map,
like closer to the edge of the thing.
Around the chair. I'll send it.
Oh, you're talking about. Yeah, you're talking about down.
Here is that another sermon summoning circle that I can't
see. Yeah, that it's an animated
thing. That's that's probably why it's
not showing up for you again. Yeah, it's, it's, it's just
another chair right now that. Is.
Behind a circle. Chair a magic circle, Yeah.
Yep. OK I was just wondering because
I just see like a humongous square of red and black check of
missing texture so Yep. And another point of order you
would mention, there was a box upstairs, Franklin, that you
left with Ishmael. 4. Yep, for torques.
Did anyone actually leave their torques up there from the good
campaign or did everyone? I just needed the needed to ask
that question before I forgot. Did my Admiral command me?
I probably would have complied. I probably would have taken the
torque off and thrown it in the box and looked around and said
it's for the best I guess. OK then yeah, Kira would have
dropped the torque off. Not the holy symbol, though, Not
that. Whatever the crew decision was,
that's what Nimboy would have done.
I'm going to say 0 kept you out of like pure selfishness boy.
I mean that that was what he was managed to help with.
So it does fit you. The Wink leak in the chain.
And the. Secrecy.
And that would leave Grand Am whether or not you were taking
that torque off. Yeah, he'd follow suit.
He not to. He already got trouble for
talking where he shouldn't have been talking.
And. That lecture, that lecture from
Kira, was still coming. I'm not going to say he leaves
it, but Zero would at least take it off, but he would keep it on
him somewhere. So we still have it with him,
but it is not around his neck, OK.
Grand Am's been a wild shape into an earthworm which doesn't
have ears and squiggle into like a pot of dirt somewhere.
Poor Grand Am, I have another question that is kind of stupid
and meaningless but it could lead to like a little character
point or something. Are Cali and them away that only
two like women here? Or is there another character
that is like? Yeah, I think those are the only
women me May and Mom may identify as they them.
So they are the only two that we have yet to hear from to.
I know you're not staying sitting at the table, but
everyone's kind of stood up and said their piece.
It seems like for the most parts besides Grand Am or Faust and
and I know those those at that. Grand Am is earthworm and
probably wriggling through some. That would be that would be in
response to a scolding from Ezra or not the other one.
Hero. Here, Oh, Ezra, Ezra is right
now so so I usually go away. He's like standing on the over
the over the food. Just triumph for it to her.
Kelly would have Kelly would have probably walked up to him
and started in like started gently heading Ezra just touch.
It's an attempt to calm him. Oh.
He's happy. He's a happy puppy right now.
He shouldn't because Grand Grand Am turning into an earthworm was
a joke, not something that happens.
In. His in his mind.
He thinks he won the food in his mind.
Food is not for the band. Heard from Agatha, the Italian
is still standing over there by him, but she her eyes are kind
of like her eyes wander over to Nimoy and the fact that like
she's the only other like lady here like that is the part that
is who has her attention right now.
And I guess Agonon, too, hasn't spoke their piece.
Nimaway spoke. Nimaway did, but Agonon did,
yeah. Oh.
That's that's, that's I was just pointing out.
So without standing, he was. I just think it'd be fun.
Fun to be God. Yeah.
A huge responsibility. Make some real change that I
want. Kelly is going to look at
Franklin and raise her hand with a question.
I'm not in charge. You can speak.
Oh. So if we all become gods, do is
it going to be like where we're each in charge of this specific
thing Like hold on, the gold head was?
Only offered to team good guys. Oh.
Well, if they do, would that be like a situation that would have
to do with like, giving up who's in charge of what?
No idea, I just wonder. I mean this Franklin, sorry.
I just wonder. You guys will become gods.
But currently, people like KIRO here view the gods and their
plans and their meddling and their decisions almost as if
it's divine intervention, as if they are omniscient, omnipotent,
or whatever it is. Have some grand plan.
They are always infallible. That's the word that I want,
that they are infallible. But what I'm hearing is that you
guys will all become gods and you are all fallible.
Are you going to become suddenly perfect KIRO?
Will you lose your personality and become perfect KIRO when you
become a God? Or will you still maintain your
own flaws? I will not trespass in the realm
of the gods. That is not mortal design.
OK, but like the others can. So let me just shift this
conversation. What if the Admiral became a
God? She's not perfect.
She's great, but not perfect. She has flaws.
She's. Human.
She. Doesn't.
Know anything? And I was going to point
directly at 0 because she had she was wondering like hell to
find her parents. That face is familiar.
I'm pretty sure I saw him on my journey to find my parents.
He's he's been to hell at least once.
I can tell we're all. Currently in hell?
Well, our team is. No, she's pointing directly at
0, my other character. Who's not a guy?
Yeah, who just got out of hell, So so.
And there's no reason for him to become perfect, given that he
was flawed from the beginning and banished and ended up.
We don't know if he's going to be perfect.
He could just become a God because he was given godly
powers. Do you not see my issue with
this? You're saying that all the gods
before us are infallible and all wise.
They have a great plan, and yet at the same time you will become
a God knowing you are flawed, knowing you don't know
everything. You're not omniscient.
Will you suddenly become omniscient?
Probably not. They fled the system because
they are scared. They're afraid.
They don't know. They are blahed.
They are simply powerful beings influencing things.
Then our friend KIRO here is acting as if they are.
Their word is they are divine. It is they they are divine.
But they can. Be.
Wrong. We all become gods and find out
fuck around them. Because it's only for you.
Let's do. We're going to be over here in a
race, I mean. But then Grand Am begins to.
Blow a Raspberry and. I don't know.
I'll I'll like Mommy. I wouldn't.
I want mommy to suffer. Hold on, one person said
something else. We do a this.
You guys are cute. Grand Am out of poppers begins
to blow a Raspberry. OK, by the worm.
No, he's not a worm. That was that was in response to
something that's going to happen.
I guess. That's a future hypothetical.
So. Listen so we.
Could. Become gods and have cool new
powers and see what happens. Or we could choose not to become
gods and. I have a question, What?
Fuck this whole God thing. We're all in agreement that the
Necromancy cult should not become gods.
Yeah, OK, let's. Yeah, that's a good idea.
Common ground. Agree.
Yeah, I like this guy. I don't necessarily think that
the PNC should escape. I'd like to keep this system
closed. They're I.
Think that it's. Inevitable that they're going to
make it to the moon, I don't think.
Not necessarily. I have a plan, but it requires
our teams to work together. I'll work with you.
All of these, go ahead. If when we are done, I can send
your poor soul to the other side.
Let it rest, Carol. We.
Can talk about it later, but I'd like to at least to sit for 100
years and I can explain why to you later.
OK, math 10 million undead at a tower.
One undead here. That's a good point.
Secondary math, They're all OK. Here's my thinking.
You guys confirm yes, you have a magic bottle full of holy water.
A seas worth, yes. Correct.
Is it holy? Looks around like is.
It holy pretty sure you know, gives you the nod of yes,
Admiral. We also know that in order to
get to the moon, they will have to pack all of their million
undead into their spaceship, which are famously airtight.
Do they? There are humans among them.
They are not just undead. They must breathe.
Also, not all spell jammers are airtight.
They they're weird. Point of order.
They're going to all get on a ship and go to the moon, right?
Wait. I don't, but we don't know the
ship. I bet the tower's a ship.
They said they were building it. How many?
Like how many are going to be on it?
Like we don't know nothing. No, we don't.
But I'm just through, I'm throwing out hypotheticals.
We're going to have to get more information.
But as you say, we're trying to find common ground and then we
can work out from there. These guys will be on one ship
trying to escape from here to the moon.
That's the plan. They're going to all pack into
one spot and go. What happens if you open up that
holy water sea inside that ship on route to the moon?
You kill everyone, including you.
I That's fine if that's what has to.
Happen. I mean like whoever's on the
ship. Whoever goes on the ship then is
then becoming a sacrificial person.
Right, unless they specifically can breathe underwater or don't
breathe and coated themselves in adamantine so they wouldn't take
damage from holy. Water Kelly is doing Kelly is
going to jump up away from Edgar and say, I mean, I can breathe
in any liquid. I'm a water new alright that
this is kind of my core pay. What happens if holy water hits
you? Do you die?
And this. Guy might be great.
I'm not like necrotic or anything, I'm not undead or
anything so I'm just a water name.
Pill is blessed by a goddess, so we can attempt.
Yeah, we can attempt to figure out an escape plan as well.
I'm just throwing out an option. Where are they going to be the
weakest? Right?
Not in the tower. They're defended there.
Not on the moon, in transit. That's where you hit them.
And you hit them with a fucking Ocean's worth of holy water in
an enclosed space full of undead.
Right. Take a second to let that sink
in. Kylie is going to walk over to
stand by Franklin, and 0 is currently just standing with his
arms crossed, but he's looking down at the nebula below them
through the glass floor as he considers the options.
What would that accomplish? We'd kill all the undead.
We'd protect the world. We wouldn't have to become
flawed gods and continue working into that system.
If you want to, maybe, but. You get a free spaceship.
Kira looks at you, Franklin. Two spaceships because there's
I'm not going to say that part, nevermind 1 spaceship.
Kira's going to look down at you.
I'll make you a deal. All right, let me guess.
You're going to kill me one day. We will help you stop the PNC
from our side. We will make them die.
You can't get in the ship. How do you get in the ship?
We're going to flood like you're wanting, or maybe we help you
get the things that will help you flood, however.
Kelly's going to butt in. My my retort, I will let you
even come back to the material world and I will give you one
lifetime. 100 years minimum. No 100 years.
I pull out a contract in a book that I had copied out on the
scratch paper. 100 years. No day more, no day less.
A creature or two to this book for 100 years can unearth A
passphrase hidden in the original text.
When transferred, the celestial and spoken out loud, which I
speak, destroys both the speaker and the book in a blanding flash
of radiance. As long as evil exists in the
book in the infinite sea, the book disappears for one D 10 *
100 years. 100 years. 100 years and I will personally.
Live 100 years so you can be. Destroyed.
Yes and it with it destroy this which is the only meth well and
destroy an iPad a another LED box next to me that's like
attached to my hip so so you steal it about the.
Pokedex. My the pokedex is a direct link
to one of the remaining evil gods in this world.
We're connected to this world. My intent long term would be for
this system to be without gods. There are too good, too bad the
rest have fled and the system is closed.
If you can get the too good to leave and I can get rid of one
of the bad in 100 years and the third bad and the other bad is
still trapped in the center of the planet.
We could create a system free from the exterior external like
influence of gods. That would be my dream.
I'm willing to compromise on that, of course, but I'll just
put it out there. That would be the ideal, right?
We compromise, we find a way, We save this entire.
Question. Sure.
What are the two gods that or what are the two good and two
evil gods that are stuck here? Like do we know for sure which
is? Minneapolis is the evil God.
We have torques for him and he is trapped in the center of the
planet to be freed if all of the seals of hell are broken.
So he's. Which would also destroy the
planet. So he's the one that the evil
campaign can talk to her. Yeah, he was talking to you when
you came in. Yep.
Everybody else's torch from that campaign are already in a lead
box. That's why it was like, oh,
finally. Kelly just chose to ignore that.
So she just pretend like you've been here.
So. And we, I don't know what my
evil God's name is, that's Josh's thing still.
But I have the book for him which if I can get rid of
removes his the potential of him coming here or whatever is going
on for upwards of 100,000 years. KIRO extends his hand down.
Then we are a court. Yeah, hold on, buddy.
We got to write this shit down. I'm a demon.
I got to write a contract my friend.
So who is the 2 good ones? The two Dragons, right?
The two Dragons you guys are just talking to in the good
campaign? Yeah, sorry, you jumped in right
when shit was getting real high level.
Yeah, I'm trying to process conversations.
I'm trying to make 2 and 2 equal 4.
So then how? So?
How is this going to like? I'm sorry, hold on.
People just live their lives. Oh, not that if if Columba still
has connection to that one God, how does that work?
Are they like not like because the two Dragons they're not that
one God or God is that Columba has a connection to and can
speak with apparently in her unconscious state.
So how does that I'm just trying.
To if I remember how Josh told us.
Kind of like when KIRO tries to speak to his God Erie.
I'm speaking to this universe's version of my God.
Yep. So the Lord of the the God of
death here is translating my God of death wishes.
OK, but my like I think you're trying.
To I think you're trying to reconcile the fact, the fact
that the other gods have left the planet and.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how like how it's going to work
if I can still talk to one of them because are either they
left or anybody the. They left the planet to, to
unders to, to, to put it in perspective for you.
But they haven't left the solar system.
The solar system is quite large. Even though they did, they
didn't, you know, they're, they're still tied to this
planet and its existence, more or less because of the humans
that had and you know, the sentient races that worship them
and such. But they, they don't reside
there currently. Their, their, their, their forms
have left their, their, what's the word I'm looking for?
They're like vessels have left the planet they're currently.
But they still do real estate. Yep, but they still have contact
with their old home so you are still able to access your powers
via the pact you made with her. So.
To answer your question. So Thalimba is like the key, the
final key to Franklin's plan, because she can contact the gods
that are she has contact with one of them that aren't
physically here. Potentially.
OK, that's interesting. I was just trying to get
everything into perspective because a lot I just had a lot
to absorb. So I understand.
OK, Kelly is going to look at hero and Franklin so you to
achieve your goals. What do What happens to the rest
of us? Like.
You have to go live your life. My goal is to go back home.
I'm not from here. I don't belong here.
Then leave if if once this is I mean, you will have to discuss
that with the rest of the gods. They're the ones who brought you
here against your will. They can do it, they just have
to be part of the agreement. Right.
But if you're if you're trying to get rid of the gods, that
effectively gets rid of my. Yeah, so we do a Frodo scene
where right before they leave Middle Earth, you guys get on
the magic boat and you sail away at the same time.
You don't know that movie, sorry.
Oh, I know about the IT it sounds like we're we're not
going to read to conclusion tonight, but we're all together
as in character wise, so we could just pick it up right from
the spot next session from the evil game inside of things.
The. Evil side.
Lots of things to talk about the.
Conquering food hero Ezra. The conquering food hero.
Bam. Owning that grand Am.
Oh yeah. You oh grant me a wild shapes
and takes the form of a giant frog with a distended maw and
swallows Ezra no. Ezra would look, Ezra would look
that as a challenge. Let's go.
What's, what was were you going to say, Emily?
Next week I will only be able to listen because I'll be traveling
again, OK, But I'll be there so I don't miss anything again,
doesn't. Really.
Talk much? Anyway, so yeah.
Somebody remind me when the dates of the stuff is for?
You're right, we got a week, but we got a week.
We got a week, next week, next week.
Yep, next Friday is. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the following.
So. If you get So if you get home,
when do you get home next week? Well I'm not leaving out till
Tuesday because Memorial Day is on Monday.
OK, Yeah. When do you get home?
The the the the goal is to get home like Friday afternoon early
referable. All right.
We don't start the D&D until Saturday, but Friday is kind of
like just going to be the evening for anyone that's
getting here too. Is generally because I work or I
don't. 6 hour drive. It's going to take us about 8
hours, give or take. All right, I'll be there in.
Spirit. So let's make this happen,
Captain. We might be rolling.
You might be rolling. You're in.
Back. Got a few new folks.
Is there anything different this time about it or just so many
new people? A lot of new people and there's
a lot of actual like stuff going on now in the game.
Jacob on the travels make sure make sure we keep track of all
of our receipts because it's technically considered business
for us technically hyphen the hypothetically.
So do people stay in character for a lot of your a lot of
eurythmic? Eurythmic.
Wow, I know. 13 version of Jacob it it.
Kind of depends. So in the last couple of years
we've had more people come that don't regularly play.
So we do a couple things in game and then it kind of devolves
into hanging out, which is fine, but during the actual like
gameplay itself, you would generally want to in the past we
normally do like mini games and then there's like a, a, a arena
combat where if you want to fight each other, you can.
You get rid of the. Gods.
Sure, like how accurate of a costume I needed to have 'cause
I don't have anything that actually looks like my
character, but I have like generic renfest stuff.
Yeah, yeah, well, not because like I'm.
I mean, I'm wearing blue jeans and just some form of T.
Shirt that my cosplay is the fact.
That language, if you if you all want to join, if you when you
all do this, if you all want to jump in one of if one of y'all
wants to jump in a voice call and put me on speaker.
I do want to fight in the arena with a couple of y'all so.
Yeah. I don't know how logistically
possible that is considering the circumstances, but one of one of
two reasons, one of the reasons just being that what you already
alluded to, Matt, which is like if you thought this session was
chaotic, those in person sessions that we have only two
of in a year are like trying to wrangle.
Yeah, I can't. I can't wait for you all to meet
Grand Am in person, it's going to be great.
I'm so excited to be able to actually have side conversations
and react in real time to the things that happen because I
always like as Nimoy, I always have something I want to say or
a way I want to react to something, but I don't want to
interrupt anyone. So I'm so excited to be able to
just do it and not like intrude, you know, on the main
conversation. Yeah, there's no intrude.
This event This event happening. After I've cut my beard.
So yeah, I cut my beard down. Oh, and.
I'm head. Trying to grow.
This time next year I will be able to attend because I have a
little countdown app and my birthday is in exactly 222 days.
So Oh yeah, I can do it next year.
Sweet. Yeah, In the past, all of the
Eurythmics have been, at least at least since I had started,
the only time any of our characters knew each other or
talk to each other or anything the first time.
In game that they've all met. Yeah, it all started because
some other player that is no longer here during Eurythmic
handed another, per their character, a phone.
And Josh was like, it's in the world now.
And I went what? See, that sounds like something
I'd do because I'll just be doing whatever I feel like so.
Yeah, that's what that's a session.
The the, the rhythm, veracity is all are all about.
It's like. All right, so I need a fun.
That's the whole reason why both of my characters are the way
that they are, because if I had to make one of them like
structured and actually logically think, that would be
hard for me because I'll just be saying and doing whatever, all
right? Jacob, Jacob, you do realize
that our characters are literally the yin and Yang of
the opposite? Ready.
Faust is the brain for Ezra. KIRO is the disapproving
authority for Grand Am. He can try to me.
Oh well, he is, he is. There is a stern lecture coming
for Grand Am. Nobody told me it was against
the rules. It's not against the rules of
vanilla Moore. Sorry, the yeah, that was more
of just the off the cuff role-playing from my side even
because I was like, I really want to make a spaghetti
monster. Oh, absolutely it was.
Yeah. That was awesome.
Very interesting for you. Because out of.
Out of my two previous weeks of playing, I have never rolled a
high number, so me getting that religion check was the first
high number I've ever rolled in that whole thing.
Yeah, worked out perfectly in your favor.
I mean, at least for next time we actually have a battle on the
Linda sheet. I do have a + 9 in acrobatics,
so. Nice.
I I was just going to say as a reminder for those that haven't
been to an in person session, so Emily, Rick and Jake there that
you're you'll want to create a character sheet for you as a
person. I think I've mentioned it
before, but I was just. Also, who's my spooning buddy?
Who's my spooning buddy? You know, what are you talking
about? I already know Jacob, but we got
to get another spoon. We got to get a secondary
smaller spoon. No.
So Josh, are are you or Matt is going to be that secondary small
spoon? OK, I'm I have I wouldn't, I
wouldn't not volunteer, but my my fiance is here so I'll
probably be be sleeping with her.
Fair enough. Question, question, question.
I believe the air, the window of time that I had hoped to find to
like do my one shot is approaching within a month or
two. How are we going to resolve that
with the fact that Rick's isn't done yet?
Yeah. So I was just going.
That is a good question, Rick. Did you did did you want to put
an indefinite hold on yours for a while and let others take
their turns and then we can circle check around maybe next,
next like the latter half of this year to to to the following
year. You know Matt.
Matt had one in mind, too. That he was.
Yeah, I'm OK with that. Because, you know, I'm, I'm in
grad. I'm, I mean, I'll be officially
in Graduate School and all that stuff.
And I need to, you know, just so I can, you know, hammer myself
out. So not, not this, not this or
the coming fall. You're rhythmic.
But like, I'll, I'll probably be one more like the summer of next
year. I know it feels so far away and
yeah, but no, no. Also, you know, I want to, I
want to get through Graduate School.
That's that's how that's how we have to plan these things is all
is because we want to leave space for all this, all the
shenanigans. Yeah, I just realized that by
the time you all did the in person meet up, I will have also
graduated my high school. So, well, to put it in, to put
it in some person perspective for you to this is the fifth
year that we've been playing this game to get to this point.
And then hopefully Josh, we can if things go well with our event
in June, if it, if the thing the event happens again next year,
hopefully you guys will be able to come down to the end, check
out the event. Yeah.
And hopefully we're, hopefully we're doing a lot better as a
publishing group because publishing is publishing is
hard. Yeah, man.
Yeah. Yeah, I saw y'all's y'all's feed
earlier and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Publishing is hard. It is for a publisher.
It is super hard. But hopefully Josh, because
we're we're we're actually fine tuning and finishing up a lot of
stuff. Jacob is test playing the
Gunslinger. We're pretty much almost happy
with that. 1 He wants me to read this.
That's the one I was looking at for the heist.
I wanted to be a little tiny cat gunslinger.
OK, well the guns, the guns, the gunslinger is currently getting
re hauled tested by your your teacher.
So yeah, that's getting worked on right now because I just
added a whole new a whole set of new features and things of that
nature. So, you know, but after that I
believe it's going to be pretty solid.
And then Jacob and my. Son, you should specifically add
a water nail class for me so I can actually have a little feud
abilities for we can. Come up with something but.
A grand and wonderful thank you for those who took the time and
made it here to the end of the episode where I know sometimes
