Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Metagaming by Rum Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the campaign
Allelopolis. Of health.
Help. Jesus fuck, I right my Lord, my
converse. I had a good thing going on, now
I'm distracted. Basically, she had found out
that Tortin was declining in health for a while and there's a
few village individuals that have picked up and assisted.
And so they helped me and I realized that everyone is in
good hands and the eurythmic veracity came shook everyone.
And I realized that I think people need some help for I just
have AI have a mAh. She has a gut feeling that she
just needs. Needs to.
Get back so. And.
She appeared. Yeah, I would.
I would say actually with that too, like with that realization,
you probably started to hum with this energy and internally after
that acceptance of of things and darkness covers you and time
begins not to exist and yet move infinitely fast and you feel
your body start to lose all weight, floating effortlessly in
no particular direction in a void of nothingness.
Your wants, wishes and wills drift away.
Only one feeling persists. You are all things and you are
nothing. There is no movement, but
everything, including you, moves infinitely fast, knowing all
things and knowing no thing. Having all things but holding no
thing. And then all of a sudden colors
streak across to your vision and a persistent boom boom boom
spurs to life in a weight, physical, physical weight and
that of time. As you feel yourself, you begin
to realize there is a you. A clear desire, dream and
determination pulls you towards it, growing and changing ever
more. You flow out into the evolving
you at a solid chug chug chug with your vision clear on the
scene before you and the feeling of having stood right at a
wave's Crest as it splashes all over you and you feel your body
tingling from your head to your toes as if a hetty buzz just
started in. And you find yourself on a dune
and she greets you eerily. Chia.
That was fun. Would you like a, a, a recap for
the for where you guys are AT and what's going on?
Yeah, that would be fantastic. All right.
The Hand of Fate tosses the dice roll 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,
fading till myth. Until myths are forgotten and
the campaign that gave it birth comes again and again.
The Hand of fate tosses the dice rolls, spins, turns.
Hitherto we left the rum rollers on the Isle of Shondar.
Meme Cat Hamilton and the Ryalsons beached Dune right next
to a horde of kobolds and their ship owned by Shondar.
They then frolicked in the sand with some crabs to catch 12 of
them for Shondar. Raro made a deal with Gulliver,
the captain of the Red Cobalt, shipped directly next to a Dune
for some goats and Golvar Golvor.
Golver warned them about the goblins in the lava tubes on
their way to Shondar's cavern, while a dune whipped up some
bulk and tentacle sushi for another offering to Shondar.
The rum rollers headed north on the island towards the island's
body, a fully active volcano. On the way, they stopped to
admire and then devour enormous coconut, coconut milk barely dry
on their faces. The rum rollers marched to the
Obsidian cliffs of the base of the volcano.
At the edge of one of those cliffs, an old red cobalt
fishing greeted them and warned them again of the strife in the
tunnels ahead, but they thought that they looked strong enough,
and so they dove into the dark lava tubes.
While Hamilton leaves the group to gather the goats on On the
deck of a dune from Gulliver and test the portal back to a dune's
deck, Meme and Cat, unable to see in the descending darkness
of the tunnels, latch on to Rarl.
Then Cat casts Fly on him. Raoul speeds through the
tunnels, avoiding tempting magical auras noted by his
companions and their raging battle between the Cobalts and
goblins. Rapidly, the small contingent of
room rollers to convince the guards at the door to Shondar's
chamber to befriend to befriends in exchange for gold.
Greeted exuberantly by the red dragon himself upon entering the
crater of the volcano. He assumes they are in early
entries into his talent show. They went along with it and
entered themselves as goat stackers.
After some quick practicing, Hamilton took the lead to set up
the ACT for Shondar the red Dragon with Rawls Rawlsen's
balance atop one another's. Nora climbed atop them and then
Cat at the tippy top while Hamilton and Mimei herded the
goats and other food they had prepared for Shondar towards the
stacked companions. Juggling the goats and other
food to the tippy top of their stack where Cat Flame whirled
them and Sonora tossed them into the mouth of Shondar, who had
excitedly turned from his humanoid form to his dragon
body. All going well and smooth until
the bulk and Sushi made it into the gullet of Shondar, who
accidentally torched the Rum rollers nearly to death with his
indigestion. Captain me may save the day.
However, as they cleaned up from their act, the Rim Rollers then
set up set an appointment to come to terms for some of his
breath in exchange for the Queen's gold to help save
Socrates. Negotiations go well with
Shondar for two cases of Dragon's Breath in exchange for
exclusive trading rights, 20,000 gold, less the handful that they
got for the rights to a herb that he'd been collecting and
he'd invited them to smoke with him currently, which they dubbed
the Roller. And for 715 gold, Sean
Darrennell owns that to use with this herb set up by Hamilton.
And they were to wait two days to fill 22 crates of jars with
Shondar's Breath and one extra for a one extra crate that they
were going to get filled for a nudie and a date with Queen
Fiida. The contract and the contract of
Captain Gulliver the Red Kobalt which they were going to utilize
to help set up deals in the future with Shondar and a vial
of indigestion potion which they gave to him to help with the
bulk and sushi indigestion. During the celebrations, Rawl
and Sonora sneak out on a Recon mission about the goblins.
Timothy the Kobolt exchanged a letter for Rawl to Shondar to
get an all-purpose communication device to communication tongues
of tongue for himself and Sonora.
They learned the call sign of the day, which was ladybug to to
let them know that they were passing through the line and
promptly turned themselves in a disguise as a goblin riding a
what's that thing ward ward. Yeah and then they proceeded
behind Emily enemy lines and captured a Dreider female who
seemed to be commanding the goblin rally point, bringing her
back to the ship. The Rarlsson's cat and Frederick
proceed to interrogate her. She eventually tells them she is
amenable to joining the Rum Rollers as they are going to
become gods their God. The Dreider God Loath is who
made the deal with the PNC or the professional necromancy cult
to fuck with Shondar. I'm getting back one more page
here. Oh no.
No, wait, Sonora has an item waiting for it, doesn't she?
Yes, yes she does. I do.
Yes, and. We didn't forget you.
And Captain Mimi? Oh, I did.
I skipped somehow here. Sorry.
Oh, you're right. It's my own fault here.
Oh. At which point the remember they
are part of the PNC as the Wish faction and are contracted to
provide services for the PNC, whatever that means.
And they quickly realize anyone inducted to the group was also
by proxy inducted into the PNC. They during their interrogation
with Von the Dryder, they learned that the goblins are
created by a butt crystal that is directed by Loaf.
Rahl suggested plan to attack by stealing the crystals to stop
the goblins and seal the cavern in the volcano.
They abduct another dry dryder directly after the 2nd
infiltration attempt. They immediately interrogate him
as well, confirming Von's story, and promptly behead both of them
and feed them to the Balkans that they had captured and put
in a Dune's bottle. They stepping carefully over the
They then delve deeper into the dryder tunnels, whereupon they
learn of a crystal wall that they could not enter, or
whenever that was struck opened a pitfall trap.
And not not far, not much farther down the tunnel, Meimei
and the rest of the group stumble into some bat like
creatures, whereupon Meimei throws out her dancing disco
ball with which immediately causes all of the the the bats
to dance as well as some of those that are in the party.
In their dancing, the creatures still exhibit their hunger,
however, and begin sucking several of the companions dry,
including Rahl's new chicken companion, Charles, who died
Recipes Charles. At Sun, canonically so.
Yeah, Cat Cat obliterates 80% of the creatures immediately after
that with a an explosion. And Oh no, Raul swiped 4 of them
out of the air. Flint exploded.
Three more and Mimei Boomerang is a spiritual weapon.
Two more. KIRO slashes 1 1/2 and RARS at
the last three. Who choked to death on his
draconic breath. Frederick and Shia helped
protect their companions valiantly during the onslaught.
Captain Mimei picks up the disco ball, then the rum rollers
wander back to the crystal wall, which Shia used her Crystal
Sword of Zenith to unlock the crystal wall and close the
pitfall trap. Kya KIRO unknowingly opened just
after Frederick hit himself in the knee caps several times with
his own hammer. Inside the room lay $6 crystals.
What? Yeah.
That's great. He wrote he wrote like 3 natural
ones. It was.
That is right. Yeah, OK.
I was like, that was so random. We did all this stuff very.
And one statue of Zenith. Oh, the six but but so inside
the room lay 6 but crystals. And one statue of Zenith in the
form of a large majestic bird. Shia connects with Zenith, who
asks them to preserve her statue of cloning.
With KIRO and Frederick's help, Shia lift the statue and resize
it in her it with her ring of reasonable size.
KIRO attempts to seduce the but crystals unaffectedly while Kat
shakes the earth in a tremor on the crystals, which shears one
off at the base. Rahl then successfully uproots
the other 5 1/2 butt crystals with an enlarged table, which he
take off and put back on his person, concluding the best path
forward after discussions was to blow up as many goblins as
possible to escape. Rarl and Cat launch into the
air, Cat casting flying Rarl yet again and one of and one of the
jars of Dragon's Breath Rarl throws behind him and Cat
detonates with on directly on the front line of goblins
destroying disintegrating all of them and they immediately report
back to Shondar for the reward, whereupon they are stopped by a
Red Cobalt who tells them he can help them in Shondar's place as
he's busy with the after show of the talent show AKA the group
Orgy. And the Red Cobalt does indeed
help them with their with their requests for one item from
Jondar's horde. And let's find out what happens
this time as you guys are made your way back to the ship.
Adune, I need to get KIRO in here.
That's who I need to get over here on this map.
You've you've. But but the beach day.
Beach Day. Wait, wait.
So wait, when when people pop in and out of existence, do they
pop back exactly where they were when they left?
This is the first time that that, that you yourself are
interacting potentially with someone like that.
You guys are in different areas though, so maybe you can ask
Shia, 'cause she wasn't where she was was last, Yeah, 'cause.
All of our companions just start drowning across the world it.
Seems like there's just like a spawn point on a dune.
Yeah, because if I remember, if I remember correctly, Zenora
last time she was with us, was currently sitting on Hiro's
shoulder. Then I would just spawn back on
your shoulder, duh. Otherwise can we say there's a
spawn like closet on a dune with a sign over it called the cum
closet? OK.
Yeah, every time you every time you come back, you come back out
of the cum closet and like a photograph takes gets taken of
you. Like a yeah, it like those
pictures. It's like 5 pictures yeah.
We create a spell that yeah as like a photo booth.
If if she really connects with Hisrin, who is an artificer, she
could potentially create a come closet photo shoot booth portal
from to align with. Yeah.
'Cause I assume. Coming back into existence
probably feels pretty good, right?
You get that tangly sensation. Does it?
I don't think. He's described.
In any way, shape or form. He said.
You get a heady leg tingly sensation like you're like
you're high. It's like you're high and.
What gets you high? Starts giggling.
Hey Josh, I thought I knew what I was doing with Roll 20 but I
have the terrace game, is it the same?
It is I'm I'm, I'm needing to get your character on here as
well as my apologies, OK? That's why I was just making
sure I was confused. You're good.
It's it's roll 20. It's always confusing.
Yeah, I'm not. I'm not seeing it.
You're in here either. Kyoto As in what?
The hell. You're not on roll 20, at least
I could see. There's changes.
Definitely spawn a naked do terrible.
OK, here we go. I'm coming.
I'm coming with Shia. That's what Shia says.
Oh, terrible. I was doing my best.
Not to say that. I'm doing the best.
All right, I think I have everyone's tokens there and this
would be Rarl's reunion with his brethren as well.
Control over a panel. We just.
All fall upon each other. They start cleaning and grooming
me. Yes, and disgusting.
Clean me. Oh my, that's because you're a
cat. Yeah, we'll have to go through
introductions 'cause I don't think in the last game you
played you actually like, like, I don't think anyone really
noted that, like who they were. Wasn't even.
Her ha ha ha, I just fought into existence on KIRO shoulders.
Yep, as a half one. Very small, yes.
Nora. I'm back.
Oh so sorry, who does she see in front of her?
She sees a whole bunch of people she does not recognize and has
not met before, other than in a quick fight with some
individuals and a look for the the crystals that were
harmonizing with yourself. You, you, you kind of were in
just that heady high after coming back into existence.
Although you do see Adune in front of you, who, like I said,
greeted you exuberantly. So that is Adune in front of me.
And actually from the last time you've seen her, she's acquired
something slightly more new and one of her one of the boards on
the side kind of and form into a hand and wave at you in your
general. Direction.
Don't forget the eye she can see.
Yep, she sees. Now.
I forgot about. See, I did forget about that.
What was described. It's.
I don't even. Remember, it's arcane I, it's
the spell arcane I. It's basically she gets to have
like a however you want to flavor it, the ability to spawn
a camera that flies around and like she can see through it.
OK, so I'm trying to think how that.
You would be cool is if it was like on her sails like 2
eyeballs like it's an eye on her like mass and then like it could
blink with like and it looks like it's moving you know?
Just like the the the movie Cars Pixar.
Yeah. Yeah, I think the issue with
that would be like, how does she see inside the ship where we all
are? I feel like that's like a bat
sense, like a vibration sense because she already could do
that before she had eyes. I think at this particular point
it it says the spells in particular that they're
invisible as a magical eye, that you create an invisible magical
eye. But I think Adune would probably
in in in hopes to be able to be reasonably addressed to an
understanding how people like to look at one another as an
individual. And having the psyche of having
been an elf before would create some like near the eye probably
just kind of like out of where that is ahead almost to that
that you could look at. Does she have to go?
Wait doesn't she have a carving on the front of her?
Like how? Like some ships have like
mermaids and shit like that. She could she she would use
that, but right now there's a gargoyle that's in place on top
of her. Wait I have a mirror.
She has the ability to form hands and like limbs and shit
out of the wood. Why doesn't she just form her
elf like body out of wood? Now that she does just be.
And it's. Just like wonderful, thought
Raul. But I, I.
As. Soon as I've been able to create
something else and try to separate it from the whole, it
no longer is me. Don't separate it, just keep
your feet like in the. Can be like a person.
And you just like zoom around. Oh.
Well, I wow, yeah. You.
Get a rope. One of your ropes from your
sails and you connect it and then that kind of you just have
a little bit of a leash thing going on.
Yeah, like a safety net. Yeah.
Oh that is an interesting thought.
I haven't thought to go that far with it yet.
I am just trying out the new site though so.
You're so powerful a dune. I say this as I get cleaned.
Well. Oh my name.
Thank you. And adoration.
God, you can charge so much money.
I'm just happy to be with a crew that appreciates me and you see
the wood kind of blush. Oh.
So I guess I'll start for you, Shia, Ryan.
Shia, why don't you? Why don't you go first and then
I'll go and we'll go round table.
OK. You're the new slash, old slash,
new returning slash. Old yeah slash slash.
Slash. Slash slash.
So you see in front of you a towering 7 foot blue my.
God. Dragonborn she holds her
shoulders back. You know she comes out of the
the cum chamber or however you wanted to call that.
You know she's she's giggling, but you you kind of for some
reason feel the need to bow. There's just like this in grace
upon her and she has, you know, relaxed clothing and a you know,
what's funny is I don't think I've ever really talked about
her instrument. I know I've I've done a few.
I think it's just like a little lute.
I kind of wanted it to beat drums.
I was gonna say you usually you've kind of implemented
varying things along with prestidigitation instrument
wise, but usually you used your voice as yeah.
Yeah. She does have a loot on her and
you see this mass crystal sword upon yeah, you know, on her side
and you see a blade of grass that wraps completely around
her. It is basically the perfect
combination of chillax but royal.
Maybe you think that she had some his past was grown up in a
certain way but is kind of trying to go on a different
path. So she she is a druid and is
druid 11 druid. Nope.
Why did I say druid? Sorry.
I'm no now I'm trying. Bard.
Well she's a Bard that sends the instrument but like she has some
badass history and so she has like swords on her and stuff but
she isn't bored. When she steps that onto the
deck, the sunlight glitters off her blue scales.
Rural looks excitedly between KIRO and her.
And he goes, oh. This is gonna be just like one
of those day thing shows and with that to paint a picture of
rural you see before you seated upon a mountain of vibrating
Dick shaped pillows. I color hue.
They're vibrating. They always vibrate.
They always been vibrating. On you see a group of four
ginger cats, Tabaxi human sized. Three of them are kind of like
dressed down a little bit. They each have a unique kind of
like facial and like fur pattern, but then they are all
currently grooming and cleaning the center.
One who stands in like AT pose letting this happen.
He wears he's got a large ginger beard, which you can see is like
filled with like tied with like little gems and like bits of
gold and like blah, blah, blah. His hair is kind of like in like
dreadlocks down his back and he's got like the the big white
kind of like front mane. He wears kind of a Joseph King
of Dreams from Pixar or from the the movie cloak or coat, and
he's got hand wraps on each wrist with highlighted tattoos
on one of them that go probably past his shoulder now that glow
an elongated claws. This is a dude who definitely
likes to show off like money, though he has none and he is a
swashbuckler, rogue, hexblade or hexblade.
And I kind of nod towards you and I'm like, I don't know who
you are, but welcome aboard. She looks at the the the
vibrating sticks and looks back up and, and just the ones.
OK. All right.
Looks over it just kind of acknowledges, but without trying
to acknowledge as much as possible.
And not just mine, so, you know, kind of.
Not anybody else. Anybody else?
I guess so. Zenori, you want to go next?
Can go yeah, So I also just spawned into existence and I'm
sitting on top of Kiro's shoulders.
So what you would see is a very small and short halfling with
long black hair that essentially is the length of her, but it's
like tied up in a really high like braided ponytail.
And she's adorned with all of these light and dark blue, like
full like monk clothing with like gold Bengals and all of the
like fancy, but like not super out there like classic monk
look. She is barefoot and she is like
very giddily sitting on top of KIRO, looking excitedly at a new
person that might have some semblance of sanity to save her
a little bit. To go off as Nora, she is
currently sitting on a heavily armored 7 two half dragon with
kind of like grayish pale skin with Obsidian scales on the
outsides of his arms, if you can see them, but around his face
and cheekbones. And he's got kind of long black
hair with a top knot with horns that kind of recede back.
And he is heavily armored with a Nadachi on one side and a
Cortana sitting on his other. And he's just currently happy to
see Zanora back, but has definitely noticed you out of
the corner of his eye. And I think Zanora and KIRO have
not mentioned their class. Oh well, I did.
I did. In my description, I'm a monk.
I. Literally said.
I'm wearing monk clothing and I'm barefoot.
KIRO is a right now, I currently have him as a fighter but I've
been adding little bits of an actual home brew class that I
have just kind of like testing it out.
But in character he's a sword sage.
Yeah, to be specific, I'm a Way of Mercy monk, so I can do
healing and harming with my fists.
And I'm like really, really small.
I'm like 3 feet tall so. Oh my goodness.
This is a very amusing group of people.
Oh, no, I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not want. To take it easy, you can get
down. Oh my goodness.
No, I can just jump, it's fine. I like jumping up on things in
the inside of a dune 'cause it sounded like that's where you
guys wanted to do that. You see Shia having popped into
the, we'll call Nips barrel Fort.
Now the what was it that you called it?
It's, it's scribbled out Nips barrel Fort.
And then there's there's the cum room.
Is that what it was? Oh yeah, the cum.
The cum room, the new the new name.
Kill the cats now. Name pending captain approval.
Yeah, yeah. Dune, he says.
Says it's such, too. I don't know.
I don't know if Mimi will go for that one.
She's not here to argue against it.
Oh, wait, last. Time.
She got really mad. Because she doesn't exist
currently, so. Oh God.
We're so bad about that. I think they.
Really are anyway. She exists in our memory.
Oh nice. And I thought it.
Was so sweet. In our memory.
That's what Kiro's place is, why he remembered Sonora.
It's just like phantom memory. Yeah, there was a small child on
my shoulder once. Yeah.
I'm actively an adult, I'm just very small.
Oh, does he know that though? I don't know, I feel like
everyone that is slightly taller than me would view me as a
child, but you would have to say the same about the.
Captain. The captain.
We're both short. Yeah, I think the only person
you adopt her. No, I didn't adopt her.
That, that's what. Else oh, that's the other game.
That's the other game. Yes, but in your room you see
somebody else is playing with texvicy.
Here can you delete yours? Yeah, sure.
Thanks. No problem, but you do see your
room existing rooms door ajar, and the dune says Kat had been
using it for some of her purpose or his purposes as well, just to
let you know. Kat you mean wait chicken Kat or
the the on a pile of Dick vibrator Kat?
Yes, no, the the the first one. OK, good.
That's fine. We don't we.
Don't we don't call those ones by their species.
Those are the rural sins. But you really just talk to
rural. The other ones don't really
interact. Yeah, they're.
Flavor. Are they still interact with you
if you? Talk with them.
Yeah, We're we're one litter. That's.
They like it's the night variant background which gives you 3
retainers. Commoners that just do stuff for
you. OK.
They can't, they can't interact in combat is the only thing.
They're not combat people. Yeah.
They're just for like cleaning up after me and side W where
they destroy $10,000 worth of bar stuff.
Yeah, I did nothing. I am not guilty of this.
Like anxiety blankets? Yeah.
I just did what any other cat would do.
And knock all the shiny bottles off the shelf.
You put them on a shelf. You did.
What were you thinking? I'm thinking you're referring to
the general you and not me you, because I think that's just
where bottles go. But.
No, you, you. Away.
After getting cleaned, he'll or Roro will hop down, go to shake
Shay's hand. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Welcome aboard Adune, we're just about to take off it.
Was beach. Day.
Not, not, I mean, we can totally.
Yeah, not quite yet. We're we're waiting a couple
hours until we're fully stocked. Oh, did you guys ever figure out
what was behind the crystal wall that we passed?
I sort of just like, you know, I'm just now here.
I don't. Yeah.
That's yeah. I take one of the butt crystals
out this thing and then I think she got like a big fancy statue.
Yes, but this thing right here. And she pulls it out of her
pocket. Is it like a big statue that you
just pull out of your pocket? It's because I'm so ginormous of
no. So she has a ring of resizing.
Oh yeah, yeah, I think. Does the captain also have one
of those? There's.
A floating around. There's another one around here
somewhere. I've got one somebody.
Else at Hamilton Hamilton. Had that or Frederick?
No, Hamilton, 'cause he took it off his gun, didn't he?
No, Yeah, yeah, no. We used it at one point though,
when we killed, when we killed, when I accidentally killed Loki.
Oh, we had the. We we took the table.
Yeah, that that one rural has. OK.
Yeah, so there's like there's a few of these items floating
around, but just for some context of where it came from
too, I did go back to do the research and it it was a Bush
inside of a or right near a ruin where some dryads were living
that these rings were growing on.
Oh, and for clarification, there was only one, there was only one
dryadder beheaded. Only one.
The other one killed himself. Oh, Yep.
You're. Right, the other one killed
himself. No, no, the the the yeah, the
guy killed himself and then the other.
One was the girl. Hey, hey, hey, she she was very.
We really should have kept her alive and like giving it to
Shondar so he could learn more about the organization hunting
him down. But you know, bygones be bygones
and she's dead, so who cares? I've been listening to a lot of,
I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and any time like
suicide comes up, they're like. Just to let you.
We're going to let you know that there are some talks about self
harm and, you know, take care of yourself.
And here we have suicide prevention.
It's like, it was. Yeah.
I just, it's, I feel like there's like a little note of
just like. We care.
About people don't, yeah, but OK.
Don't do. That.
Don't do that. Don't do that, ha.
Ha, you're too hot. Don't do that.
We love you. Yeah, we love you.
OK, now, Now continue. Anyway, so they killed
themselves. We we tried to stop them.
The first one had like a little like arsenic pail or something
like that in their teeth. So they like we.
Successfully prevented the girl from doing it.
That was that was the two of us. We were, really.
Bad and no. And then we forgot to do that to
him, so he just did it. I wasn't part of that part, so
that's why we forgot. I forgot to do that.
I kicked my feet a little bit anyway.
Came out one fast hero and. Someone couldn't control their
temper. So we were getting supplies to
go somewhere. Yeah, no.
So, so you know, Shay, I don't know how much you're like up to
date on what we're doing, right. Today, but I want to know what
you. Think we're doing?
What I think, oh, well, here I take out this huge book.
I take out a book and it's called What's It Called For
Profit, A History of Corporations.
I'm setting up a multinational trading industry.
You see, we're already putting stuff to good use.
Oh. Oh my.
Why do I feel like I've seen that book before?
I don't know. Do you guys know where
Massachusetts is? Math Math Chew sauce.
Yeah, it's all one word. I have not.
I'm not, I'm not familiar. Or Austin, TX.
Yes. No.
Anyway, none of that. This.
Thing is a gold mine. I'm learning how to become
business savvy and to invest wisely.
We should start a stock market. OK.
Stock market, are we all on board with this?
We don't really have like a set path or goal.
Mostly the goal has been to get a dune to be able to fly, which
we are almost done with, and I get a Nosebleed.
Someone wanted us to do ow anyway.
So that's the plan right now where we we, we did a shipment,
made a trade deal, and we're heading back to get a dune
wings. And then we don't have a plan.
And I smile broadly. Do we know what's happening in
the world? Giro kind of scratched his head
at you because not from here, so.
He's like very, very new. Yeah, I'm also pretty new.
I'm not from here either. We just, we started on this
mission to get the dune wings and that's what we've been
doing. And then since then, I started a
trade company and we. Served a dragon.
And we saw the dragon. Yeah, he's a buddy of ours now.
Served. Dragon.
OK. So.
So it's. We're not getting Aduna wings to
to do something. We're just getting wings.
You know, like getting wings to save.
She can. Come on, adventure.
Right? So she could.
Go on adventures with us. OK, it could.
Be fun, OK? The captain.
What are you? What are you doing?
Well, I mean, we just came back from saving my village.
I just didn't know if. Gosh.
Yeah. I mean.
Hero, Hero. No, I mean the group is, the
group is. No, we're just the corporation,
OK. Let's get the Aduna wings and
that will definitely help us accomplish things.
And maybe I'll, I'll keep my ears out.
Next place we go to, next bar we land at, I'll see if there's
anything up up and coming. Any trouble stirring that we can
get a a pulse back on. Like.
That's a good idea. Oh yeah, those guys.
You said we were funny though. Hero hates necromancers.
Yeah, but we're, we're part of the Necromancer Guild.
You know that right? Apparently.
No, I'm not. I snap my fingers.
One of my siblings brings us paperwork.
See. Apparently when you join the
ship. I don't know how you accepted
it, but here's your signature. You.
Yeah, see how that works? You.
You apparently immediately get inducted to the Necromancers
Guild, which apparently they were already a part of.
And I looked to say, did you do? That.
'Cause that doesn't seem cool. All right, you do.
Or profitable. You do you need to remind you on
that one, Chia or you got that? No, you need to remind me.
So you remember from the top of the lava tower where you and NEP
were about to face along with the rest of the crew of the
Roller, a giant skeletal being who looked like he was about to
fuck shit up, but you would just defeated all of his minions.
And he was just summoned and confused and you'd convinced him
that you were already part of his organization, the PNC or the
professional necromancy group. Whereupon you gestured toward
the cake That was me Maze originally had, but had been
stolen and spewed away to the top of the tower.
And told him that your goal was to create wishes that went
wrong, more or less, and that was the way you were going to
instill yourself as part of the PNC to create a faction of it
called the Wish Faction. Mm, hmm.
Mm. Hmm.
Yep, Yep, Yep. That, that Rubma.
Yep, I remember doing that. Man, that.
Operation I don't. Know what you're going to get
out of this contract too. I mean, they're legal geniuses,
so good. I mean, they must have.
I mean, they've got to have a Leech like hundreds of years of
luring experience, you know? I don't, I don't know.
And she light it on fire. I don't know how you want to.
Oh, OK, that's how you OK. I was going to say I don't know
how you want to tell everybody else what went on there.
I was just filling in what actually happened for your, for
your own recollection. Yeah.
Anyways, he's like he. Comes up with the contract and
he's like, hey, we're part of this because of you.
OK, so she she grabs that, she goes, can I, can I see this real
quick, just just one second. Sure, but.
Be careful. Little documentation.
Yeah, yeah. She grabs it and I think it
would be even funnier if I Eldridge blast it, but I don't
know if that's can I just light it on fire?
Can I just do that? Josh.
Did did you hear me?
You. Can try.
You can try whatever you want. OK, so she goes basically she
just goes well, so this contract is it's not real and it was a
whole load of bullshit to get us not dead.
So yeah. And she so she starts ripping
and let's just say she rips it into a million shreds.
You go to grab a hold of it and as soon as you start to put as
much pressure as you possibly can that would usually rip a
piece of a piece of paper it it does not budget.
OK, wonderful. She's like, that's not crazy.
I'm pretty strong here. I just can't and.
Magical contracts are really difficult to break, you know?
She's like, yeah, it's like selling your soul.
To a devil you know. Now the good idea it's.
Easy to break if you find the next magic.
That killed them. Oh my.
You think that's true? I mean, I guess if one of the
participants is dead. All necromancer.
While this is going on, she's gonna put the paper down and
then cast Eldridge Blast on it. That's 1D damage.
You can roll. 14 to hit. That'll hit.
And it gets 1D10. Forced damage, right?
Forced damage. You see, are you like, are you
like still holding it when you cast to that?
No, she put it down. OK, just like in.
So everyone's talking and about like how to get out of contract
and she's, she's still like trying to rip at it and she like
puts it down and then and casts. You're, you're partially
wondering at first when you're just trying to rip at it,
whether or not it was just because it was like telephone
book thick. But then you throw it down out
of the ground into the sand. And do you want to tell me how
your bolt goes? Like what it what it is?
It's coming out of your fingers, your eyes, your butt.
It's it's out of my fingers. Oh, OK.
Hand esque. It's a beam of crackling energy,
so. And it crackles forth into the
document and strikes the pages, washing it in a in a queue of
colors, and sand flies everywhere.
And as the sand settles back down, partially covering the
document, it still stands fully unheard.
She. She's like she like laughs,
turns away. It's like and then like turns
around with her sword and she's going to strike the crystal
sword as you know, just one more time.
I just. I love this sequence.
This is the. Best.
Like. You guys are like.
An. Acceptance.
How about now if I surprise it? Yeah,
that is a eight to hit. That still hits.
Yeah, because it's an unmoving book.
I would hope that. And that is?
T. 4 +4 so that's five plus so 5 + 2030 so 3535 points of
damage. And that is, I mean, do you need
to know specific if it's like? Yes, please.
Five points of slicing damage and then thirty points of what?
Is that the bludgeoning? Yeah, bludgeoning damage with
flashing with 30 of slashing. OK, so a total all slashing.
I thought there was some electrical in there too for some
reason. It's after the first strike.
Oh, I got you now. So yeah, the the, you see your
blade strike it, pummeling it deeper into the sand.
And as it shatters on top of it and all the shards of the
crystal explode in the general direction of your slash, all on
top of the document. You see it the, the hole that it
must be digging for itself deep and even further.
But as you pull your blade back, the the document looks to be
only slightly marred. And then even those pieces of of
paper that were partially scratched flutter back into
space where they may have been gunked out.
And you're, you're seeing the the title of it, but it's still
buried deeper into the sand at this point.
OK, she accepts defeat and kind of wipes the picks it up, wipes
the sand off, and tosses the legal document at Rawlsen's
feet. As you turn back to the
Rawlsen's, you see them sitting behind like a small picnic table
and they each hold up a number. There's like a four, an 8, an 8
and a nine. The four is upside down and it's
being held by one of them that's looking off in a different
direction. That one, Jeffrey.
Yeah, Jeffrey, it's Jeffrey. And he's actually he, he's
looking at the document and he pulls it up to a certain page
and he points at it without saying anything, looking at
rural. Of course, Jeffrey, I kiss him
on the head. Sign to him and then turn to the
others. He's a legal genius and I'll
point out whatever it is that he seen.
You you you say you see upon there that this document is will
automatically repair itself upon damage.
Tested and proven. Nice one.
Jessie so brilliant. Yes, yes, brilliant, brilliant.
So is there a way to break? This.
Legal document you were saying? Jeffrey, Jeffrey would sigh at
that, probably and raise his hands in a questioning gesture,
I would guess and and and and probably make some other hand
gestures to rural that you would probably interpret as in saying
more or less possibly, but it would take a judge.
So we need a judge. We'd have to pay for legal fees.
So, you know, part of it is, you know, we have to get our
business up and running so we can get the legal fees in order
to fight this case in court. That will probably take like,
you know, 12 to 16 months or something like that.
There'll be appeals. The president will claim he's
not guilty and he's immune. Wait, hold on.
Never mind. Different.
I get a Nosebleed, so yeah. It's actually getting a
Nosebleed in real life. Or is your character getting a
Nosebleed? The so it's like a.
Difference to the to remembering stuff from this world because of
your rhythmic for acid. Things have gotten a lot like
closer together. Like I have a bunch of items
that I need to go through with the captain because I brought a
bunch of stuff back with me since the last one.
The Admiral. Admiral me May.
Admiral, that's right. Wow.
Yep, Yep. So impressive.
We need more ships though. I was thinking we could maybe
like become privateers or something like that for Socrates
and then we could acquire ships, cash, and then we could fight
our legal troubles. This is what the game is now.
You're good. Wonderful, and I kind of like
the thought process of trying to kill the necromancer so.
I 2nd. That sure do that.
Do we know where he is? No, but we'll find out.
After Adune gets wings. After Adune gets wings, it'll
probably make our lives. Easier if she gets her wings so.
It's true, all right. I put on my speed, though.
I'm going to go layout in the sun.
Beach time. Beach day because we have like 4
hours there's. They're currently loading the
ship with a bunch of cargo that we have to bring back with us.
OK. Also, Nora, should we return
these communication devices? We never returned to the
communication devices. No it did not.
No. That's a thing.
Yeah, we were lending, leasing them.
Yeah, we should probably return those if we don't want them to
hate us. Giro has an audience, he has to
go back to talk with Shondar anyway.
Oh, perfect. Give it to you.
Sounds like that can hold our time over.
Let's get one an adventure. So you guys want to well,
you're, you're on a dune here now.
I will take you back to the shores of $100 Beach Beach.
Day pretty. Short.
I I'm perfectly happy to listen to you guys go beach day.
You guys walk off the and climb down the ladder that's on the
side of a dune as a dune's new form accompanies you to the edge
and then looks kind of warily around and you see a rope snake
up around her, her forms waist of the wooden figure and start
to walk with you guys. I don't think this is going to
get me very far, but I could at least accompany you for a little
bit. Yeah, you could swim with your
little crustacean France too. Sure, you I can stay.
I can stay with the ship. That sounds great.
She she seems to be kind of wary of meeting Shondar.
No, I totally get it. You're made out of wood.
He's a fire breathing dragon. Like Got.
You say the exact same thing. Got you girl.
That's. Exactly what she was thinking.
She didn't. She doesn't say anything to
respond though. But you see glittering in her
eyes of like understanding and she starts frolicking in the
sand with Jeffrey and the the crew, I'm guessing.
Yeah. Jeffrey, Rural and Grural.
Roral. Well, so I'm Roral.
There's Groral Yaral and Jeffrey the Magnificent.
I may have said it. He's a legal genius.
Oh yeah, you guys find yourself on the beach.
It's so nice out. I'm still on my Speedo.
You're a couple goats. Oh, they're still here.
Hunt mode engaged. And also too, when you get on to
the shore, the red cobalt ship is fully unloaded and the
Captain Gulliver himself walks up to you guys as you're walking
more or less in the direction of the ship.
It it seems like potentially yes, maybe.
Yes. OK, and he goes this common
tongue is in unfortunate, but well, I was told that I'm part
of the rum rollers now not quite sure what that means.
Am I, am I to, to, to follow you now, or shall I stay with the
ship? I I'm kind of at a loss here.
I've been a captain for so long. Well, you're going to remain the
captain. She's not here right now.
I get a Nosebleed. But someone will be your boss.
And your job is going to be basically what you're doing now,
just going from Socrates back to here once the deal is made.
And you're just going to be like, you know, a Nash Kush
plush. Easy life of merchant trader.
Well, how does that sound? It sounds pretty nice, but I
mean, what does it pay? Well, we'll have to discuss that
later. One thing I really want to make
sure you understand and it's in the legal documentation that you
signed earlier. You didn't really sign it, but
Shondar signed it. But I'll flip to the page.
I'll say sub clause section 13B, paragraph four, Section 4 CT.
There are no unions allowed. So I give him the little
employee handbook. Welcome aboard.
Did. We sign that.
Did we all sign that? This is a made-up document I
think, that rural just made. This is what rural does every
single time anyone new appears. I'm pretty sure you still have
to sign it, Shia. They don't know it well.
We made the agreement with like we made a binding contract with
Shondar for preferential trading rights as well as the contract
for this dude. Right, which was which was
basically for him to captain a ship, but it had a lot of blank
spots in it. You, you realize probably when
you're if you're looking at it, that's where he.
There's a lot of fine print a. Lot of blank spots as in like
there's spots to be filled in. I fill one end, no unions.
And he just drugs goes I'm the cat.
I haven't been invented yet, so. Great work for me, but there's a
bunch of other blanks here. Am I supposed to go over that
with the captain then? Yeah, somebody look off again.
Some someone will talk to you about it sometime.
For now, once you're loaded up, just head on over to Socrates
and we'll have wait, wait, no. I don't own the ship.
And he points back to it. I I've been renounced as captain
for of that ship. Oh.
Shit. OK, so shall I wait here or?
You're. Supposed to be some garbage.
Get out of here. So you have no resources with
you? I check a box off.
OK. Your position here will be for
under further review by the captain and others.
We'll see if we can find a place for you.
Why don't you just stay here with the dune and the siblings?
Get accustomed to it, read the employee handbook and yeah, what
do you guys think? Kind of look through the others.
Do you want them with us or like shitty chill doesn't have a
shape so. I'm sure whoever is in charge.
Will. Have him still be a captain.
Sure. So I will stay.
He should stay with us and maybe enjoy.
For some reason we're wanting to have a beach day.
Can't remember why though. But each day they're nice.
What's it? What is his stance on
necromancy? Yeah, what do you think about
dead guys? I'd prefer not to interact with
them. That sounds unfortunate.
I mean, that should be dead, right?
That's right, that's a good answer.
Cool. OK, you stay here, Dan.
OK, Wait for someone to come talk to.
You. Adune's wooden figure waves her
hand. I I can take care of him for a
while. Great orientation.
Yes, perfect. Off you go.
And and Gulliver just looks at her and goes, is that a
scarecrow that's talking? No, it's the ship.
Don't be rude. You see him just wide eyed like
try to like shuffle towards it and side eye making sure that
he's not making any wrong movements like.
You don't have to act like that, just don't be rude.
I don't know how to not be rude. What do you mean that's the
ship? She's the ship's over there.
This is a do name. She is a brilliant part of our
crew. It is no ordinary ship.
She is an amazing, amazing being and she has created a walking
figure, which is what you see here.
It's not just a ship. It's not just a ship.
She's. So much more than that.
You. Don't think she's a person with
her all. She is.
A Dooney. She's beautiful.
A Dooney chimes in in all of your heads.
I don't know if he's gonna let me in.
He's he's feeling some pressure on him.
I can tell that I've extended my consciousness.
But he's pretty reluctant. I.
Mean that's understandable. Fair well, the the the wooden
figure just keeps waving and then makes a gesture as if like
welcome and kind of like bows and press waves onto the ship to
Gulver. And Gulver just looks at you
guys, looks at the scarecrow thing, scratches his head and
walks towards the ship to climb up the ladder.
Turn to a dune. If he tries to abduct you, kill
him. Oh, don't worry, deity, I'll
just throw him overboard. Perfect.
All right. Have fun on meeting Sean down
again. I don't know if you guys, do you
guys see where you're at and have free movement of your
characters and everything? My thing is still loading one
second I will move myself. That's right, Kira, which
shoulder should I sit on? Do you have a preference?
Whichever one you wish, and I just would, I guess we'll have
Josh move this as a singular unit.
I'll sit on the left shoulder. I'm.
Going to grab some stuff from my cabin really quick since I've
got a wild movement speed since we're going back to talk to
Shonda. Yeah, everyone else can pretty
much move faster than me. That's why I'm going to sit on
Kiro's shoulder. I.
Don't know about that, You're a monk.
I actually you're right, I am a fucking monk and I.
Have AI have a. 40 foot fucking movement speed.
Jesus. But yeah, KIRO does not mind
just. Kind of want to do it though,
it's fun. Oh.
But as you saw on his shoulder, he hands up a item to you.
I got this for you from when we were given a offering from the
dragon. What is it?
Josh, you remember what the item was called?
I cannot remember a cop head. It's like a teardrop.
What was the what was the intent behind it?
I should have released it. It was.
One of the ones on discord. Yeah.
The ancient teardrop. Yes, let's to play my bulb
blink. Yeah, it's like a little
teardrop. We're going to have to go
through the remnants of the. We're going to have the same
problem we have getting out here.
Shit. Oh OK, yeah, I need to make a
note to make that. What is the?
What's it do? If she takes an instance of 100
image or more, that would cause her to drop to zero hit points
then, which would have effectively killed them
instantaneously. They instead dropped to 0 hit
points. Or.
Yeah, basically. Instead you die, you die.
You just, you know, drop down to 0.
Right, the old anti Flint shooting you in the head.
Yeah. Someone needed that.
I wonder who you? People need that.
I turned to the others. Don't forget there's a whole
cave of dead goblins and fire that we have to cross through.
If we're lucky, we'll we'll find some to fight our own.
Sure. Yeah, that would be fun.
Let's do that. Actually, we could.
Yeah. I mean, we did.
It second plate. Somebody has it bed.
Oh, I don't know who has it probably disappeared.
From existence, yeah, but where is the two locations, 'cause I
remember we just kept at one point we had one in the Dreider
office. The we have two plates, one we
normally keep with us, the other normally stays on a dune and the
Dreider office one is the one that we like had we just left it
behind for a night, but we went and got it back so it didn't
get. Lost and that one I think was
the captain Current. Yeah, OK.
And to be clear, that one is Adune would probably have chimed
in with it. There's two on my deck.
OK. Decks.
I guess we'll grab one just in case.
Might as well, yeah. Might be smart and she tosses it
off towards you. Shit.
I catch it. Fucking Dexterity season.
Throwing the fucking plate. On that wait I wanna try to
intercept it for funsies. Go for it.
Also Dexterity saving though. 24.
Purse. Back save 7 + 611.
Oh that was a That was a pretty even match though.
Plus 6 + 8. You go to reach up for it in in
almost exact time with it, even though you weren't ready for it,
and still kind of cursing a dune under your breath as it as
Sonora hops off of Kiddo's shoulder and just grabs it
almost instinctually in in her arms and lands expertly in the
sand. Like grab it and then tuck and
roll. Pretends from the royal sends
behind you. All right, nice job.
Let's go though we're being burning daylight.
I see a Shia moving in the general correct direction, but
everybody else still next to the ship.
I move myself up. I I wasn't sure I'm.
Here I. Don't know where I was.
Going to go over there. Yep.
I see something. There's looked kind of like a
path, so that's where I was going.
Yeah, you guys move through some coal bolts who are hurting some
goats that you must realize they must have kept back from the the
herd that they sent to you for breeding purposes so they can
make more to serve up to Shondar getting KIRO to follow as well,
I'm guessing. Yep.
We're. OK, make our way back to
Shondar. I've got the secrets vial in my
pocket. Guys, make your way from the
beaches up to the center body part of the island.
Pace and point. Come on, go there, come on,
bookmark. There we go past some gargoyles
that look like their heads are following you as you walk by
them. Creepy at all?
All of them. Good afternoon.
Hello. You don't really seem to
respond. Wonder how much those cost?
And it looks like Nora's stayed off of Kiddo's shoulder, stuffed
the plate in her second. I have the plate, I'm just
going. And is running along the path
you see many coconut trees along your way as well as some
chickens that are do you? Think they're Do you think
they're related to cat? They might be.
Charles was. He was Charles.
I don't think I met Charles. He was a beautiful chicken I met
in the dungeons. I had him before like 5 minutes
before he got eaten and then we had him for dinner.
He was Kat's son. You have not eaten him yet.
But oh, we still have him for dinner.
OK, emergency food. Oh, he'll go bad soon.
You'll have to eat him. The Shia and Kido have visuals
and ability to move. It looks like he's a pretty
member. Yeah, I have a Yeah, no.
My, my, mine's. Not working.
I will. Yeah.
I love row 20. Your.
Your visuals are on on mine. Yeah, visuals are on for Shia
too. We're going to run into those,
into those goblins again, so we'll have to decide what to do.
Did that work Kyoto to get you to see where where you're at?
At least I'm I'm I'm refreshing the page, see if it comes out.
Apologies, I just shifted everyone else's view back down
to the bottom. How?
Rude. I.
Can see more you she would have seen and probably were chasing
after Raul. I'm guessing you both were kind
of following along while they were, yeah.
Yeah, we're just kind of strolling.
I'm keeping an eye out in case anything like, you know,
interesting pops out. That's smart.
I'm not very perceptive, so. You could rule a perception for
me then, Laurel. 19 It was so close to a natty 20.
Oh, oh, Sonora, you moved up the path.
Yeah, she's just like, it's casual walking, but her casual
walking is so fast. Yeah, she's not used to it.
Especially with her short legs. You figured everybody else would
be trailing behind you, but you're just like zooming.
I'm zooming. I can do spurts of speed but not
like. Staying.
I just have a regular base right now.
I want to get the boots of speed one day.
I say as we're just like walking along.
Doubled my movement speed. I just picked up the invocation
that gives you a swim speed, so I'm gonna go everywhere.
Well, I. Thought you wouldn't like water
though. It could be a lot.
OK, rural, you notice while you're walking.
I like that. You notice while you're walking,
there are several little paths off to the sides of the trails.
The very first one you noticed led to what looked like a broken
shovel down to the South, and you see a shimmering under this
Bush to your right. Peoples dilate and my hair
stands on end as rural. The warlock of capitalism senses
money, and I run over and I start digging at the ground.
That money, There's money here. I'm pretty sure I saw money or
something cool. Before you even get to digging
and you just thrust your upper body into the underbrush, you
notice a a single gold coin and behind it a mound of dirt.
Yes. I pick up the gold coin and I
bite it. Is it gold?
Seems to be gold, although you look at it and it seems to have
been pressed with the face of Chia's father, the king of
Norgant. I mean, do I know who this dude
is? Nope, you just see a a a a
dragon born that that looks similar to Chia other than male.
Guys got the really big nose I put.
It I. I turn around to Shea and I say,
hey, you're big, big here for me.
And I flip the gold to her. Thank you.
And. Then I go sit.
Down on a log and watch. Is this a a standard like
gargant coin or something or do I find this weird?
You want to roll the deck safe to see if you catch the coin.
Oh yeah, totes. Oh my goodness.
Saving. Throws.
Saving. Throws saving throws.
Makes. That.
Sweet. It's innate.
Oh. You, you, you get it to land in
your hand and then it falls through your fingers to the to
the dirt below you. I I pick it up.
You you look at it and you do see that it is a standard coin
of Gargant and. OK, that's strange.
And is is it normal for a gargant coin to just be chill?
Should she has, you know, warning like, Oh no, someone who
I may love is in danger? Or am I like, oh, this is
normal? This is pretty much par for the
course anywhere, even outside of Gargant.
You might find some of your father's coins circulating
because you you know that you have a.
OK. She is.
For here, not not a Federal Reserve.
That was the first thing my brain fucking said.
But it's the thing that place that prints money.
Yeah, it's like a a place of respectful currency.
You can print money. Holy shit, we just got the rich
guys. This is you can't print coins.
Well, you could make them anyways.
This this is a this is a gar. I'm going to just make that up
right now. It's called a gar and it's from
Gargant. It's the it's a form of currency
in Gargant Father really into himself.
Of course he named it after him, but yeah, so, ah, I mean, it's a
good coin. It's a good coin.
And you Where'd you find this? Right there next to that big
pile of soil that looks like a giant buried treasure.
Oh. Interesting.
I would dig it up but I don't want to get my nails dirty.
Or it could be a dead body and a coin fella's.
Purse. And it's a body that's been
buried. Why do you have to?
Look at the glass. So half empty.
It's good to be gold. I don't.
Know do we need gold? I mean, yes, we have incredible
legal challenges ahead of us, as we discussed earlier.
I have a significant amount of gold if you need that, but yeah,
my father being the one who made this coin.
But anyways, yeah, sure. I, I, I mean, I'm, I'm willing
to help is. Your dad still alive?
He is. Does he have good lawyers?
Yeah, Yeah, you should write. Him.
You should write him. We need a good lawyer.
We. Could I was going to have to go
to this guy named Saul Goodman. I I don't love.
The idea of asking my dad for help.
That could just go down a whole slew of path of like.
Oh she you didn't become the wizard.
You were supposed to loop on you and your loot playing silly
music. You know I.
I just feel like I feel. Like it's it wouldn't go well
and especially since I got ourselves into a legal
situation, I feel like if we could not do that if it's
absolutely necessary. I I could.
I'm, I'm not too proud, but yeah, I I could take one for the
team. No, I totally understand it.
You want to try to make your own way in the world and prove
yourself. Wow, yes, exactly.
That is nice. That's a good goal.
I had that once and then I did OK then kind of look around, I
forgot what we were doing. Talking to Shondar.
Wait, no, there was. Treasure.
Yes. I pointed the the pile and I
pull up and I pick up the leg broken shovel.
I'm pretty sure there's something cool down there, but I
don't want to get dirty unless one of you has like, pressed the
digitation to get like, you know, the dart off of me.
Can I give him my shovel? My Turkey shovel?
The Turkey spoon. We'll love this.
You can, absolutely. It is your spoon to give.
OK. And remind, sorry, I'm not
finding it. It should be.
I know it's a spoon. Of relocating, I believe it is
called. OK, it's a large, it's a spoon
of re look. Is that is that what it is?
I was just on memory. I know I'd created it as this
was one of the older items that I had created from A1 Shot where
you guys defeated a large Turkey in a clearing after another
reality glitch inventory. Those reality glitches will get
you. Why do I have 3 backpacks?
Organization. Interesting.
Backpack ception. Obviously you have one inside of
another inside of another. Yes, yes.
Dangerous. Isn't that technically what a
wallet is? Kinda.
Oh my God. Yeah.
You do not have it in your inventory, but I'm going to add
it to your randomized backpack. Go.
Oh, something went wrong. I rolled an AT1.
We're heading into town to visit a blacksmith for repairs.
OK. I hand you a spoon.
It it should it should appear if you go to manage inventory and
search spoon of relocation. I just type spoon and it comes
up. It's a wondrous item, Spoon.
Silver spoon, A silver spoon. I've Was this the one you were
born with in your mouth? Wow, no so theoretical.
I mean, you said you, you said yourself, you're the kind, the
the child of a king and you wish to prove.
Yourself. That's why you're here.
So I. Assumed you were born with a
silver spoon in your mouth and then you gave me one and I
figured that was a continuation of that conversation.
Sorry, I did not mean to offend you.
Take the spoon before I change my mind.
Sorry, I take this. It's a very large spoon.
Oh well, it's a normal sized spoon.
Currently. I, I excuse him, Miss Shea.
He doesn't understand dragon etiquette that well.
In our world. We talk, we say whatever we
wish. It is a it's.
Not a we, it's a it's a it's a he and his brothers.
Well, I come. Throw it.
Somewhere. Yeah, don't, don't associate us
with other positions. Silver spoon looking has Turkey
Turkey Turkey scratching a handle.
Upon placing the spoon in a mouth, the first spoon drops to
the ground. User moves right on pacing a
spoon in a mouth. The three spoon drops to the
ground. Because that's exactly how it
happened the first time. No one wanted to put it in their
mouth so that somebody put it in someone else's mouth.
And the user moves instantaneously to the closest
spoon when a tuned intent can teleport an individual upon
pacing spoon in their mouth to a specific person's body
concentration. But you say if you say Turkey
three times, then it gets really.
Big right the. Size of double.
Yeah, but it's only when you put in your mouth that you trans
teleport and don't like, that's super bad.
So Chia doesn't say, I mean, you don't obviously you don't read
this. So she has, Chia says, Turkey,
Turkey, Turkey. And it becomes the size of a
shovel, assuming that you wouldn't naturally want to put
it into your mouth because she feels like if she told you don't
put it in your mouth, that you would automatically put it in
your mouth and then you would transport back to the ship.
And so she is, she is not going to put that in his head, but
she's going to say Turkey, Turkey, Turkey and says and
gives the the large. Spoon.
Oh my God. I've been looking for this item
for years. Oh.
God, all right. I pick it up and I gingerly
touch the the pile there and hope it's not a dead guy some.
Soil instantaneously moves back to where you previously were
standing behind you, revealing the bands of what looks like a
chest under the pile of dirt. Yeah, turn to Kira.
You're right. It's a dead guy.
Shit. Do it again.
Do I? Perceive.
I mean, obviously on the map I can see all these little kind of
gold coins leading a different direction.
Do I do not step on my keyboard? Sorry cat.
Do I perceive the gold coins be like you should follow that or
can I gold coins? On the ground.
Yeah. So for that reason too, I guess
she you would notice the other two gold coins to the north and
east map directionally and go around piece of candy, piece of
candy. Well, Rarl is shoveling away the
top of this mound. So you've now acquired two
additional as well as the first gold coin that he gave you and
the you see at turning back around to what Rarl's doing
after he said it's just a dead body, a reveal on your side of
things as he's teleporting some of the dirt away behind him.
Specifically, like I said, a chest start to reveal itself
from underneath the mound. It's not a.
Band like a chest or wait, a banded chest like a box or like
a chest like a person's chest. That's where you were.
I heard it as chastised and like there was a corpse being
revealed. I was like.
Is he just keeping the fact that he found treasure or?
No. I thought we.
I thought I found a dead guy. I didn't know what a chest.
Not chest. I couldn't have imagined.
I thought you knew what I meant because I was like, what would
be a banded chest when it comes to a chest that is banded.
So obviously I'm your skin, I mean.
The mound does look like a pair of boobs.
Every good mound could. But anyhow, that's perfect I
think. The chest.
It started that. Guy to run up.
You. You fling the top of it open and
eating. Trapped.
Oh, you do. All right, I'm I'm a rogue.
All right, all right. Technically.
Check those traps. Yeah, thieves tools.
How do I roll a thieves tool? It would be Dexterity,
Dexterity, and. Perfect hand roll, which would
be Dexterity basically, right? Yeah, it's lot of hands.
Lot of hand plus 617 + 623. Very nice.
You uncover the top and you do notice that there is a small
wire leading to a just below the chest, which you.
You gingerly brush away some more of the dirt, following the
wire that you have yet to disturb at this point, having
only removed the dirt on the top, and see that it is rigged
to a load of explosives underneath of it.
Fuck yeah we got the explosives. 2 guys jackpot.
I will attempt to disarm this. Does anyone have thieves tools
or like assistance so we don't kill ourselves?
Have a high decks, that's about it.
I have thieves tools and a + 6 like I said.
But all right. Wait, can I take 10 minutes and
do it safely by giving my to give myself a + 10?
Isn't that a rule? That's an old rule, really old
rule from back in 3.5 and three. It's called the Take Ten rule.
Never mind. I mean, it's still valid.
Some DMS still use it. I don't know if Josh does, but
it's an old rule. I would I would give you
advantage with it. OK.
I will very slowly take my time with the shovel to reveal the
explosives, the rest of the chest around the area, taking
care to make sure that there's not a secondary switch,
etcetera, and then attempt to disarm it.
All right. Yeah, I think they gave.
I think they gave that ability to the roads with their roads.
Uncanny, uncanny. OK Dodge.
Basically it's where they're, you know, any rule they do is,
you know, A10 plus. Oh, that's reliable talent.
Reliable talent. Yeah, my son.
My son uses that a lot when he plays rogue.
So yeah, basically they took the Take 10 from back in the day.
They gave it to the rogue for an ability for them to use.
Got it. But I have not.
But I have known some DMS to still use the Take Ten rule. 24.
Yeah, it's a good thing you have that advantage and not that
eight you 20. Four was first.
It's true, That's true. I mean, look may have had it the
other way if you didn't. That's true anyhow, so you hold
everyone off as she is looking at the gold pieces.
That's again the second one. Still have the picture of your
father on them, along with on the backside the castle that you
remember as your home and you successfully are able to take
disarm the trap by taking the Flint off of the trigger and
slowly pulling the tension out of the Tring The string that's
holding that revealing to after you've gently cleared away some
of the some more of the dirt. A enough explosives that would
have blown a hole that where you're where you're standing for
sure in the chest probably would have been on would have been
worse for the wear, but the stuff inside probably would have
held up. You know the the chest would
have been intact. More or less it would have blown
it like straight up in the air, yeah.
So there's probably about like 10 sticks of dynamite.
Fuck yeah I take all of them very carefully.
Does anyone have like a bag of whole thing or something?
I don't want to like handle these unless I can do so safely
according to whoever. Hiro just has the basic starting
things. He has nothing.
Sonar is pretty much in that same boat.
Yeah. OK, I will do the best I can to
safely wrap these up. I'll probably bury them along
the side so that we can just pick them up again.
Well, we'll probably. No, we can't teleport because
we'll leave the plate. Yeah.
So I'll mark the. Location.
Sorry to interrupt, Did we? I was looking back and 'cause I
know Hisrin gave her, gave Shia some alchemist.
Nope, artificial. Yeah.
Vibes. Did we just decide that she's
like a level 2 artificer along with the level 11 Bard or?
That's what you had decided while we were playing Eurythmic
Veracity. I think there were six other
levels that were unused. So to say.
From the sacrificed character. OK, yeah, I didn't know if that
was going to the artificer or not.
That was what you were, you were you were asking for, so that is
what it was received. OK, so she could technically be
a level 6 artificer. No.
That's bananas. I'm OK with.
Yeah, I mean, it was you. You sacrificed the one character
to get. Yeah, get the levels.
Yeah, XP wise, I can check real quick.
Let me get over to that page, but.
I'm cool with just saying she's a level 2 and and like staying
at that. Like she's not growing her
artificer. 'Cause we took two from her is
what you had said, which gained you more or less still two
'cause that was like 2020 KXP and it, it's exponential.
That's why you know, the more levels you take from her, the
less you get. That's the that's the thing.
So she's got six left. So if we were to go to Shia and
we added which equivalents to about 20, another 20,000 which
would probably only get you two more.
So it would be 4 approximate. Oh no, that wouldn't work.
I got to do the actual math here because it's exponential.
I hate this fucking math. It's complicated.
Shia 20. We'll just we'll just add a flat
like it's 20,360 is what's left 23160 and that would get you to
a total where you were at. What were you at going to go
back to it and look at it 11 so it only gets you another single
level. So you could add yeah, that's
that's the crazy thing. So yeah, you would go from you
you could potentially have a total of 3 levels in Artificer
if you were to null her out with 0 experience basically.
But you when we were talking was it was only two levels.
But if you wanted to null her out, yeah, you would get an
additional level. I'm not really looking for that,
I'm looking. Would then allow them to have a
specialty. Yeah, that's which would be a
social. Alchemist or a alchemist?
Battle master, not battle master.
I think it would be worth it. I mean.
Defense well at. Three.
OK, the reason why I'd say that is because she would have an
infusion choice and I'd be able to replicate a magical item.
She would obviously replicate a bag of holding.
Yep. That's like a given.
I haven't figured out anything else, but Oh yeah, artificial
specialty. Man, I feel like my character
would be bananas if I did this. It'd.
Be a little 12 here. Let's shoot for this.
Let's do Level 3 artificer, OK? So.
Fucking bananas, man. I'll take that other 20,000 and
at 20,000 and 300 or so add it to just suck.
The soul right out of her, huh? Pretty much.
Delicious. Dum dum, dum dum.
Dum Hey, that's what you get for playing for so long with us.
That's you're just, you're just moving.
You're just move. You're just moving from it from
1 to another, that's all. Truth.
There it is zeroed out and she is level 12 on the XLS.
Well, level 11 with Level 3. No 12, right?
Total level 12. Oh Oh my God, I don't even know
what to do with this. I feel like it's unearned.
You've been here since before we were recording.
That's what I was going back and and some of that recap.
So some of the that Babylon stuff that I was telling you
guys about in the beginning there until we got to the the
Crystal Tower that was not recorded.
Back in my day. Back.
In my day we. Didn't have fucking Craig back.
Back in my day, we had Sacos. We had Sacos.
He didn't. He didn't interrupt us in
between. Back in my day, he wasn't
sentient. He was just on a table all.
Righty. Man, if you got a bag of
holding, definitely put him in there.
Yeah, I, I have a bag of holding, OK.
Open the chest. You put the you, you give the.
What did I say? Like 10 dynamite.
Ten, you said? Yeah.
The Shia carefully, gingerly, and she puts it in her bag of
holding and inside the chest a beautiful glittering keeping
pile of gold. Of course.
One heaping pile of gold. A singular pile we.
Pick it up. There's 24 gold in there, but
the pile looks like it's got literally a billion dollars.
But when you try to pick it up, you just can't.
It's just got 24. We don't have anyone with an
accounting skill skill here, but I I actually went to a table.
That's where that one D6 came from and there is 9500 gold
pieces in there. Your hero guy looks at rollers
and contain contain yourself. He's got just like his biggest
shocked smile on his face. You guys, guys money.
I point at it. Can we put this in your bag of
holding too? This is company funds I think.
Unless it's yours, technically, because it's your dad's face.
We could we could make this bag of holdings specifically for our
legal funds. I I wouldn't hate that.
The only other thing we could use this money for, I'm going to
remind everyone, is somebody Was it Sonora?
What did I do? Somebody, somebody gave up.
They're starting like table item as collateral for damages to the
bar inside. No, that wasn't me.
OK, I don't remember who that is.
That was you. Whoever that.
That was you. That was the big that was the
big giant gold piece. Yeah, the big giant coin.
But. I don't think you gave it up
necessarily. No, I kicked it off the table.
Yeah, she couldn't have picked it up because at the time.
It came back. I physically could not pick it
up. I kept rolling A1.
Right. But we we gave it up as
collateral. Or yeah, Meimei gave it to
Radaha, who was the wizard from Babylon, who was also the Wizard
of the Club of Zorkates, the wizard club that was magically
enhanced. The one that I that I absolutely
did not destroy in any way, shape or form.
No, no, no, no. It was, it was.
It was Jeffrey. Yeah.
Accurate. Yeah.
There wasn't me controlling or anything.
Either either way, these would almost pay that off because if
you don't know, and I kind of step back and kind of activate
my my gloves and I very like anime like power up style get
like flaming fist type thing. That item can make one of these
or something like it, but for her.
So it's very nice, very powerful.
We should get it back for her as well.
I was thinking of selling the the Kraken that we caught to try
to pay off that debt. And you recall?
Looking at it, the kind of mind bending side effect you'd had by
looking at Alalopoulos's table, which you know you jumped off
of, and Idrel had lugged around for a while and had been kept on
the Dune's decks. Wait, question.
So I didn't spawn in with the table because that's the item
like I touched when I was there. It was already in existence.
Oh shit. I thought I'd just like, I
thought it was like the thing that I'd like spawned in with,
and so I started using it. What happened for your
chronological? Chronological that word to you,
You had seen Frederick go back onto the decks of a dune, grab
the table, knowing that it has God powers because everyone.
Yeah, 'cause I dumped off of it. That was our idea, to kill Loki.
Yeah, come back into the illusion chamber that you guys
had spawned Loki into to try and kill him.
And then he proceeded to beat Loki to death with the God
table, right? We all jumped on top and then
smashed him to death and but when I when I joined the game, I
touched the table and spawned in on it.
So I had I had assumed that it like came in with me not knowing
I had already been there. Yeah.
So, yeah, it's been there for a very long time, got it.
Meaning. Sure.
Well, I did not know that. I just like yeeded you guys's
table. I thought everybody came in with
an item. No, mine was essentially I
kicked off the thing and then it just warped into our world and
then proceeded to take Loki's head off.
And that was the greatest way to forever traumatize Zonora.
Now everything just seems normal.
That's sort of how KIRO tossed the compass.
Lovely. Do you have the compass?
She's got the coin that you, like, came in with.
I guess that's kind of what I thought.
All right. Roro kicks the dirt kind of
guiltily. Shit, I did not know I stole it.
Well, now you know. And when it was in that form too
you, you had that feeling, but as he'd released it, it just you
see a pattern on his fur basically where the table would
be because he kind of seems like he's melted with it by this
point. They don't have to take off
anymore anyway. There's a bunch of money.
All right. She puts it in her bag of
holding. Right, off we go again.
Oh. And we shall continue.
Picking up where you guys picking up all the items you
guys missed the first time and you go.
Back. Towards the volcano.
You look in the barrel, see nothing, keep going.
Correct. Along the walk, KIRO will walk
beside Shay and ask. So what dragon does your plan
serve? What give Give me one second, My
ears seem to be. Blocked and.
I am trying. To.
Basically I'm having headphone malfunctioning.
I suddenly have cotton in my ears.
Yeah, cotton in my ears. OK, you can hear me.
Yeah, we can hear you the. Whole thing wonderful.
Did you ask the question again? KIRO asked.
So what dragon does your clan serve?
What dragon does our clan serve? It's a wonderful question, my
father. So your father is a full dragon?
No, but he he thinks he is. There's no better way to
describe that. He doesn't serve.
Anyone but himself. It's quite the gods have chosen
him, you know, that kind of stuff.
Then I apologize that your plan has no great.
Purpose. Oof.
Damn. My, my, my plan.
My clan. Oh, my clan has.
Oh, yeah. No, no.
Yeah. Thank you.
It's OK. I tried.
I I really tried. You know, I I have four
brothers, and they Donar, Kriv, Moot and Lindak, and they all
father follow in my father's footsteps.
So he is, you know that it to be honest, I'm I'm not entirely
sure if my father's purpose other than ruling.
So definitely something to look out for.
I could see that being a evil character down the road, but.
Yeah. That would be terrible.
And that's why I'm here. I don't belong, I don't fit, I
don't agree. Well, maybe in your journey,
much like all of us, you will find a dragon to serve, much
like I have, and you will have purpose.
What dragon are you serving? I serve Dragas, who serves at
the whims of the gods. We are a proud clan.
We make sure we maintain the balance of life and death.
So is the charge of my family. Our Great Dragon makes sure that
every one of us is honorable and fulfils our duties.
That sounds great, being a, like, atheist Bard, like dealing
with the the a father who sees himself as a God, who basically
is just like, yeah, gods can all suck it.
Except for Zenith. Yeah, he's pretty much.
And she's in knowledge. Yeah.
Yeah, the knowledge and the protection of of such.
So I guess she's as really easiest.
But. Then she is like, oh wow, that I
mean, that has to be really great to to have, you know,
faith like that leading you right now.
Zenith and I Zenith is one person that is I've been kind of
looking up to, you know, she, she guides me, but really I
don't know how much guiding she does versus just giving answers.
We both love knowledge and I can respect that.
So. The gods give us answers in
mysterious ways, but it is always good to seek out
knowledge, for knowledge is the truest power.
You guys walk up the inset stairs to the lava tubes that
some of you recall, and there is still a red cobalt sitting on
those cliffs fishing. His basket seems to be fuller
than it was the last time you were walking by.
And he goes, hey. Yeah, hey, little fisherman.
That's not my name, but OK, I'll accept it.
That's what I do So. Yes.
Do you think you could like, take this crate of full fishes
back to the shore? I seem to have broken my pole
and I'm no way in shapes to be moving that far.
Or I guess you could just take it to Shandar for me, that'd be
great. Are we there?
And which one do you want, Shore or Shandar?
Shandar would probably be the the the most direct route.
They're going to him anyways. I'm sure the Great Dragon will
accept your offering. Well, in that you lift it in
that case and he looks to see who seems to be in front just
looking at the line of people and flips a silver in your
direction coin. Yeah, I was.
Going to say I was like. Interception.
Dexterity saving rolls. Son of a Nutcracker A9. 22
intercepted. Is it Nora?
You jump out in front of Shia and grab it.
With can roll. Teeth this time.
Hell yeah, I'm going to turn to Raoul and I'm just going to be
like, I think I've discovered my new party trick.
Stealing from people, I like it. I wouldn't say that, but sure.
And Giro, Giro turns to Zanora. Zanora, we don't need
compensation for such a tedious task.
It is fine, I'm sure he would need the coin more than us.
You might want to take that up with Mr. Money.
Man's next to you. Also legal fees sounds.
Like The fisherman shrugs. Money doesn't bother me now.
I just like to enjoy fishing any takes one off the top and he's
I'm going to take this one for myself and he starts walking off
in this direction with the fish. Oh good.
I was wondering if it was going to be poisoned and we were on
like some sort of a secret, this action mission.
But he took a fish, so no problems.
I didn't even think of that. That's so smart.
Rural. Yeah, we should probably still
check it, right? Probably I'm not the.
Way to fix effects on it. We know how that went last time.
Wait, look at the fish. Does it look like it's
suspicious? Does it look suspicious?
Suspicious fishes. It's a fish ish, yes.
Fish Ish. It looks very fishy but it does
not look it's a it's a fish ish. It's fishy.
Yeah. So it's fish ish.
Just not. Sufficious.
Yes, exactly. I investigate.
Two were flirting earlier. That's a three on my
investigation. I don't it's fishy.
Yeah, you go to reach in it and you touch the slimy fish and you
go no thanks. Yep, I forgot I don't like fish.
What was your question Verl? Nettie 20191 Listen, Rural has
never had a history of being smart.
Well, except sometimes he's just.
Efficient. He's, he's a yeah, he's a
capitalist. That doesn't necessarily mean
smart. Non non efficient now anyways,
he's. Not a fishy Otto.
You, you still look at the fish and you, you're like, why
doesn't she like this? And you pick him up and you
start sniffing him and your mouth starts watering and you're
you're like, these all look very fresh.
Don't eat it, don't eat it. Constitution saving throw to see
whether or not you try not to eat it.
Why does no one listen to Zonora?
It's because she's small. Probably.
Damn she could kick all of your asses though.
Mm, hmm, hero. Hero listens.
She knows that. Navarro watched it happen to one
of the big guys earlier in horrific veracity.
So yeah, it was a stomp. To be fair, it was a paladin who
didn't have any sort of weapons. Who decided to fight a monk?
What was that? Oh yeah, you have to roll the
Constitution RARL to see if you actually listen to Sonora.
You can have advantage since Sonora said no.
Yeah, we've bonded. We went on a secret mission
together. Well, that's a good thing.
You have advantage. Oh my God.
Suspense. Suspense.
What's the second one? Oh, I'm need a second one,
sorry. Yeah, you have advantage since.
Or bonded. Yeah, that 2nd 117 will work.
And what happens is you go to put it towards your mouth and
Sonora slaps it out of your hands.
Why? Because this for Shondar, you
want to piss him off more? We've already made him throw up.
That's true. That's true.
And I have a question. I have an another offer for him.
OK, OK, let's go. We're wasting time.
Yes. So you got the box of fish.
I don't know who was trying to carry this 10 by. 10 crate KIRO.
Maybe the Dragons can carry it together.
This thing is bigger than me so I physically could not do it.
As they go off together, I turned to Zenora and I say, do
you think that they were flirping earlier?
I saw some sparks. Justin grabbed dragon breath It.
Could be lingering side effects of them being Dragons.
Mm hmm. That's.
Confused lightning breath though.
I do not think you guys need a strength check if you're both
lifting it, but you one of you may need a strength check if
it's just one of you. You both should do it.
No, we can. I mean, she has walked up.
She realized that we were both walking over the same time, so
we both pick it up and. Yeah.
All right. I don't.
I don't know if they have enough of time together to be flirting
yet, but we'll see. That's true.
Are moving at half speed currently, but you've got a
crate between you. Wait, so we start walking across
this Chamblee bridge. We shall.
Just so you know, you were there.
We dropped the bomb on the next part.
You guys are moving towards the lava tubes.
Yep. Yep.
All right, do. We Does the weight of both of us
plus the fish concern us at all? Not on these, on these, I've
think I've been thinking of them as lava bridges because what
what has happened is just the during interruption phase, you
can tell that the the lava has kind of trailed out over the Bay
and then the water was at a high point.
You're guessing for these particular bridges because
there's some lower points where the lava sits down below or you
know the the I want to say dried lava, but that's not the right
word. But the dried lava is sitting
down below in under the water in some cases.
But in this, in the bridges cases, the water was higher.
You're guessing that it would have been during high tide and
then the water is just receded below those points.
And the bridges of whole hell for many passages, especially
the one that you're on, which seems to be the main passage to
the center of the volcano. Cool.
All of that I heard is Shea doesn't have to do Her base
perception sees that she can cross this bridge without
concern. Yep, you are correct.
I'm trying to move you guys over to the other map difficulties,
which I still attest we should rename the show to.
I think I figured it out or narrowed it down at least, and I
think it may be actually my processor and not my radiant
cooling. But for explanation's sake, you
guys enter into the dark caverns of the lava tubes inside of
Sondar's volcano. You proceed through and as
you're, as you're going through, as you're going deeper into, I
think only Zenora, you do not have dark vision.
I have no dark vision, that's why I was sitting on Kudo's
shoulders before. I'll sit on rural this time
'cause they're carrying fish. OK, you guys meander through the
tunnels and get to a point where you realize that the paths are
regulated to the point where you're at.
But because they're well travelled And for the for the
rest of you that have dark vision, am I?
Am I assuming correctly that Chia and Kido also have dark
vision? I know rural does.
Yeah. Yeah, give.
Me a second. I'm almost.
Positive I do. I thought so.
Yes. No, maybe so.
I don't know how to find this stuff anymore.
Features and traits I believe or it would be over on your like
senses. Yeah, features, Yeah, features
are senses. Yeah, yeah, if you go features.
And traits and scroll all the way down to racial traits just
to tell you. If I don't have it, does it mean
I don't have I thought? Dragonborn did have dark vision.
I thought they did too, which is why I'm it's weird I can't find
this. No, actual Dragonborn do not
have a dark fish. Oh well.
KIRO. Would probably shift to the
front of the two is all because you guys are carrying the crate.
Crazy. Do not worry, I will guide the
way. Wonderful, trust in ya.
I will not let you down. You guys keep moving along the
path. I think I got the map up for
your for it at least and everyone over to it.
Please let me know if that's not the case.
I'm just reloading again. I love not being able to see
anything in comparison to the other game where I can see
literally everything with my superior dark vision in that
game. There's.
Multiples of me. That makes sense, you were over
this map multiple times and I've been struggling with my PC
currently so. Yep.
RIP. I mean, we make swift progress.
Sure, I'm sitting on top of RARL so.
Yeah, I assume I'm leading the way or like kind of digging like
hand holding people too? Well, watch out.
There's a bunch of corpses everywhere.
We blew the shit out of these guys.
You're leading the way for sure, with KIRO following directly
behind you for the most part with the Zenora Zenora on your
shoulder and via blindly holding on to the crate almost as a.
As if using it as a lead on on a horse to to follow where kiddo
and everyone else is is is going.
So you guys make it to a rough terrain portion where rural then
probably explains yes, this is where we exploded everybody and
keep going smoother portions of the tunnel in your an ability to
see it probably takes an extreme amount of time, although only
minutes have passed probably by the the speed that you guys are
going with, even though it you can't tell what direction you're
going anymore because you've just been going back and forth
back and forth. It feels like for those that
don't have visible sight and you guys get to a chamber which has
a little bit of light ahead and it's a door you see, you start
to materialize as well as the edges of a chamber that are all
so that that kind of organic lava flow lava tube that you've
been walking through with a guard that stands in front and
greets rural amicably saying, oh, hey, rural.
Hey bud, what's up? Secret handshake time?
Slip Slip, slip, slip slip. Nice.
Yeah. We're just here to see Shondar
again. We have a few items we forgot to
return to him. I think someone wants to, like,
talk to him. And then I have another business
proposal for him. Is he done with his orgy?
He seems to be, but, well, it's hard to say.
You know, I, I wasn't really paying that close of attention
personally. You're good.
I mean, they can, they can just go on and on, you know?
And on and on and again and again.
It's the thing with those they it's hard to find an ending just
to, you know, Well, without getting into any details, you
guys are welcome to go on if you, if you like, and you open
the door. Thanks for solving the goblin
problem, by the way. That's made our lives a whole
lot easier. I think we're going to be able
to expand into these caverns. That's excellent.
Just so you know, I forgot, I don't know if we have like
finished it, but if you go down far enough, there is another
side chamber that seems to go even further into the earth.
It's covered in spider webs and I know Loaf is apparently the
one who's like trying to kill Shondar.
So I thought the spider webs Loaf is probably similar.
You guys should like break that up.
That sounds above my pre pay grade but appreciate the Intel.
Thumbs up. Turn to the others.
All right, So what do you guys want to do here exactly?
The door opens behind you. Put that one of them.
Well, first I'd say we would need to deliver this so that it
can be handed over to Chandor. Chandor right there.
But. Do you want to talk to him
right? Yes.
This is your moment you get to meet him.
Is this like a swear fealty forever my Lord type of thing
where you like? Well, no, no, I think he has a
he has another dragon that he worships.
He just is very respectful to all of them.
He. Just wants to meet them and get
his like all the craft or something.
Got it. One day, Ross talk.
To him in private about, however.
One day Ross and we will sit and discuss dragon etiquette one
day. Look at you.
Sure, buddy. Not him sure buddying you.
You guys walk through the door into the basin of the volcano
and see the revelries of the day before left behind as well as
some of the some of the clean up crew.
It seems like from the day for the day crew that are taking
part in in that clean up. It's got to be the worst job.
And heard the a cobalt comes rushing over to you and goes,
oh, R.E.M. rollers, we, we've sent the the ground crew over to
making sure the breaths have made it over to you.
Is there something else we can help you with?
Yes, I need to have an audience with Chandar.
He's in his refractory period. But I mean, if you if you're
really looking for him, he he could be he could be available,
I guess for for the the rum rollers.
He's looking at like a list that he's he's got secreted away
under, under, under some stuff. You can see him pulling out the
the sheaf of paper that he's looking at.
Josh, what was the name of the cobalt that wanted to come on
adventures, Come on adventure. That's right.
Yeah. The one that.
Who wanted to? Who wanted to leave but wanted
to join us? Yeah, the one that Hamilton was
attempting to get to double the reward, basically another
cobalt. Oh, so that would have been
probably Timothy. Tim.
Is that are you asking if that's him?
Yes. Who stands before you want to
handle all. Oh, I didn't know if it was.
It was the same one as last time, so that's why I was
asking. Yeah, No worries.
It it is it. It seems to be yes.
Timothy, I have come to ask Shondar for your, his permission
for you, for you to join us. Oh, well, in that case, give me
one minute. And he comes, He, he, he, he
goes running off down the chamber towards the large statue
and behind the wall. I, I think I'm OK at this
current state. I think everybody should see the
map that they're at currently. And staggering out behind him as
he comes rushing towards you guys is a dishevelled looking
couple individuals, one of which you definitely recognize as
Shondar and another you your uncertain of but looks dragon
esque as well. There they come.
Up to you guys there. We go doink and Doink, and
Timothy introduces them unnecessarily, perhaps by
shouting almost directly in your faces.
And this is Shondar and Pop Tart and Step to the Side.
Pop Tart, what are you doing here?
Oh, says the dragon looking individual.
Shia is, wasn't it? It's lovely to see you again.
Yes, yes, last time I we ran into you in in the woods at your
humble abode and you so graciously, gracefully hosted
us. Yes, it was a wonderful time,
just right after the Eurythmic gravity it was, and you know
it's I'm, I apologize for my lover at the time.
He's a bit brusque, but he understands that very he's not
the only one, and he looks over at Shondar, who's leaning more
suggestively than anything up against Pop dart.
But I can't help myself for participating in the yearly.
Talent show with. Chandar here and he Pats Chandar
on the chest. Still pop tart is in a dragon
like form, not not a full, you know, 20 foot dragon or so.
It almost looks like a a more realized dragonborn but with
more defined dragon esque features.
It's kind of hard to define even in your palette is.
Ish is this guy. Popped.
Arts popped popped Arts partner. Does she recall but Sarah
doesn't? Or is this just somebody he's
hanging with? No.
So you know that during the Eurythmic veracity popped art
does these renditions upon themselves of a recollection of
their past selves or their future selves.
During the rhythmic rasty, they kind of harmonized with that.
And the last time they were their fully realized self was
that of a something called a toaster and a pastry called a
pop tart. And he'd taken that to heart and
renamed himself and continually reinvents himself in the shapes
that he envisions through his many iterations in throughout
the universes. And you would guess that he's
currently been viewing himself as a dragon.
Cool. Well, wonderful form and it's
nice to see you again. He takes the top off of off of
his head and you see the human stallable that well hair that's
matted below. What's the dragon head back on?
So what are, I mean, I apologize, I'm going downhill
very fast. Can we pause or is there a way
to finish up what we're doing? I think mostly KIRO wanted to
talk to him, and then I had one thing, and then I think we're
all set, OK? Cool.
So I want to do your intro. Shondar kind of drunkenly.
What? What did you guys called me here
for? Today thought we were done with
our businesses. Here's the fish.
Oh yeah, this is from the Fisher who's outside wanted it
delivered to you. We were on our way to you
anyway, so here it is. Oh wonderful.
That's going to be an amazing aphrodisiac for the crew.
I think we another round. What?
I leaned out in a row and I'm like, no wonder I didn't like
it. I get it.
Wow, dragon aphrodisiac. So what?
Is that the only reason you came?
I mean, if it is, it's lovely. I mean, would you like to join?
Poke hero forward. Nope, Nope, Nope.
So we're going to talk to somebody.
Yeah, Keto wanted to talk to Shondar.
Yeah. There you go.
Yep. OK.
And out of this, head bowed. Lord Shondar I, Jiro, Composite
Dragon Dagnier, wish to ask a favor of your house.
May well go forth. May Timothy, one of your cobalt
companions, be released from servitude and come and venturing
with us so that he may seek glory in your name.
Huh. Looks over at Timothy, who's
just looking up at the ceiling and then looking down at his
toes. Anywhere but Chandar.
And he goes. Hell, he's one of my best
accountants. I don't know if I could let him
go. And she helped persuade with a
persuasion role and not Sarah Chudkowski's.
Yeah, you can. Roll and.
Then and then I'll and then I'll fill in the blanks for you.
Thank. You.
And always acceptable. 26. Beautiful, She chimes in,
looking over at Kido, who's knelt and puts a hand on his
shoulder and goes. We'd take great care of him and,
well, we kind of need his work. She gives she an Irish accent.
I can't help it. OK, that's fine.
And, well, you've got plenty of other servants throughout the
cavern, perhaps we could part within for a single gold.
He gets a glint in his eye and he goes, well, you brought the
fish, you brought the gold, a single gold and you put on a
performance. You know what?
You can keep your gold. We've set up a business proposal
for in the future. We'll take this in good faith.
However, I will make one singular thing, Timothy.
And he looks over at Shondar. Keep an eye on them and inform
me of their doings. Don't.
Say that out loud. Right in front of us, OK.
And. He.
Hands Timothy a single feather from his cap, to which Timothy
gladly places in his. Corporate espionage, I see.
KIRO responds. You are more than gracious with
this wonderful. Oh.
Were there any of you like to join in the escapades?
Nope. No, thank you.
All good with our accountant. Dropping off these items that we
borrowed. Oh, wonderful.
Oh, shoot. I can't just call Tim.
I gotta call Jeremiah. And there's a bullfrog.
Running out from behind the wall, up behind Shandar, he
goes, yes, yes, Lord. Because I just was I saying Oh
yes, take care of making sure that these fish are accounted
for and make sure to pass them out to all the party Crum
rollers won't be partaking in the Super Asian.
Well, was I saying something else besides that?
I forget. Well, have a lovely journey.
I look around, shrug. Is he?
OK, pocket the pocket the the
earrings and then just be like, all right, well, I guess we're
all set then. Thumbs up.
I wanna, I wanna insight him and make sure that Chandra's OK.
You're good. That's at 12.
You're even with a 12, more than certain that he is probably both
high and inebriated at this point.
OK, so normal. Got it.
And if nothing else is very satiated but looking for more.
We might have to put them in the camera.
Hero pipes up. Hero pipes up.
We have taken enough of your time, Lord Chandar.
Please return yourself to your wills and we will retire from
your chambers. Of course, of course.
Well, if you ever need any communications with me, Feather.
And he makes a flourish and snaps his fingers and pulls a
card from his, from nowhere it looks like, and proffers it.
And. Varal, you should be able to do
that. You should learn that trick.
I should, I mean I have a bunch of cards.
Exactly, and holds it out if you've ever need, if you ever
have need of me again or communications with me at least.
I'll pick it up and light it into my business wallet.
You you pick it up and it seems to intertwine with your torque
and. I don't have one.
He doesn't have. 10 Fucking hell.
Sitting on his shoulder so if it's close enough to me it could
go with mine. Yep, that works.
You pick it up and it grows wings for a second and flaps
towards the Nora's torque. Then Chi is the one that will
speak with me in the future. Oh goodness, I'm not a charisma
character, all right. Very.
Great. I'm charismatic as fuck, I
literally have a + 14 to persuasion so like.
I have a plus one charisma and I just be vibing.
I somehow have managed to talk my way through like so much I
don't know how. I've got a + 12 persuasion, so
you got me beat by two. She's been doing it for a little
bit longer. It's true.
Lovely session. We go back to the beach and have
the rest of our beach day, joining mommy on the beach where
she's drinking a shit ton of mimosas or sunrises or whatever
the fuck she wants 'cause she's a bad ass bitch.
Are you happy to be with someone that is the same height as me?
Badass they them as you may classify as yes.
They them. Which still, you know, could be
a bitch I guess, but the. Gender.
We all make sure that says badass each is.
Badass. There's a cut scene where we're
playing volleyball. Oh my God, it's a beach episode.
Beach. Episode.
We have like a. You can't.
Have a beach episode without volleyball?
Can we roll to see who like does the best?
Oh sure. I mean we just.
I can make that happen. What is the volleyball skill?
Happy athletics. Yeah.
Although that's strength based. So it'd be it'd be like some
contested, I guess it would be strength.
Acrobatics or athletics based off of what you want.
It would be athletics contested acrobatics because you gotta try
and get that ball. I'll be on the acrobatic side.
Yeah, well, I'm. An acrobatic character as well.
I mean, you gotta do both. I'll be a setter or I could be
the libro. I'll be a libro.
Depending upon who serves versus who.
Who who receives, right. Oh, OK.
Alright. So who's serving?
First Gerald. Yes, Spiker.
Gerald. Yes, Spike.
I guess we'll find. I guess we'll find out next
time. Next time on the beach episode,
hopefully mommy will be there so she can have her beach episode.
I don't know, I think I think it might.
Be we delayed this just for her. Yeah, I hope you appreciate us.
Two more weeks at least so. Man, I was going to offer
Chandor the deal of a lifetime, but his his move with Timothy.
Plus the distraction with the gold chest.
Pretty good reward though, yeah? That was a good reward.
It's enough to get Zoonora back a coin.
Yeah, that's what I figured. I rolled for it though too.
Is that to be fair, I was very sad with that one 'cause it
could have been like a whole nother like.
Oh, was that like the low end? Yeah.
Oh really? We could have been just stupid
rich. Yeah, the the the high end could
have been 12,500. OK.
So we went so like a range of 9000 to 12,000, right?
Exactly. 9005. 100 that they got because if not, I'll just I can.
I did, I did. I have it in my bag of holding
though. It's funny because I have I
couldn't figure out how to put like gold in as your like
equipment. So I custom made one.
It was like 950 and then I also custom made dynamite.
So we have 10 sticks of dynamite and almost 10,000 things of gold
in one bag of holding and it just makes me laugh if like the
dynamite went off. Oh no.
That's what I was thinking about.
Too. Hey, listen, that diamond, It's
going to be useful. I don't know who we're mailing
it to yet, but. We'll figure.
It out. Maybe we'll mail it.
We'll we'll mail it to the Necromancy cult.
Yeah. Hell yeah, there you go, I'm
telling you. Like the best strategy I've ever
heard. Or like so in a previous game
with this character I was a like a pirate.
It was another pirate game and our strategy was to take zombies
or skeletons that we like either kidnapped or created undead blah
blah blah because they go feral after a while while put them in
little crates and then mail them to people we cause.
Oh my God, A. Large number, A large number of
chaotic a lot. A large number of very important
people died. My God the fucking the fucking
secret Invasion makes sense now. They all draw.
I mean, with the brain meld, everybody draws information from
everyone else. Which reminds me, right before
we go to bed or we end the thing, once we get back, we're
on the way. Royal takes out single vial from
his pack. He drinks it and it's one of the
vials of reality that I took. I don't know if it does
anything, but just so you know. Which one?
Was reality. I really need to.
Make that. It's the one we take.
It's the one we take at the start to like wake up.
Oh, like the one that we all drink together to meet our
characters. Uh huh.
And in mine I like poured some out and then asked for more and
then when she kept refilling it, I just started pouring them into
vials and handing them out to myself.
That's. Interesting.
So all of my characters have an amount of them.
I forgot that I wonder. What would happen if you drink
it without the arrhythmic veracity 'cause we only drink it
during that, yeah. Yeah, this is like a.
Big question of. Like how many we have?
Yeah. Sorry, I don't know.
We'll see. Oh wait OK so I would expand it
on your idea because it's necromancer so they're already
dealing with dead people. Well I because I'm an alchemist
I can do tinkering. And what if I make little
homogeneous like character built with the dynamite that like
tinker around or something like that?
So it's like it's not an alive character for them to
manipulate. I must say that's one of the.
That's one of the. Regular servant.
Yeah, yeah, a multipular servant.
That's one of the core mechanics of a artificer.
That's one of the things you can make as an artificer.
Yes, yeah. Yeah, that's correct.
And it just takes downtime to another one.
Yep. Yeah, that or I know there's I'm
allowed to like imbue magic and like life.
Yeah, you have like a Little Rock thing.
I mean, yeah, essentially what we need to do is build some
bombs and then. Kill them and then see if the
contract disappears. Right.
I mean, I doubt it'll be that easy, but I mean, it might be a
key part of the plan. Like we could bring it to them
somehow. I was going to say it just
candidly. There is no mail service in this
world. So you're telling me?
I couldn't send FedEx. Yeah.
I mean, you could start there or with the stock market, whichever
you convince people to start with first, I guess.
I like the concept of FedEx. I'm in it.
I'll start making homunculus servants.
And oh man, and. The all man came through so
perfectly. No, no, Kara will be that person
goes, I'm going to send a note and it'd be like, and this is a
list of grievances signed K Kampachi, turn over for list.
Boom. Yeah, as they do that amongst us
all. Boom.
Nice. Yeah, because you could, you
could create a I'm trying to think there's a spell that you
can like imbue basically something to go off.
Yeah, yeah. Like a glyph of warding type of
deal. Yeah.
And then my homunculus servant can set off the Glyph of
warding. Yep.
They can't move though glyphs. Yeah, they can.
You can set them on something, but I don't think they're
allowed to move from their original position.
Homunculus servants. No glyphs of warding.
Oh. I I was like what?
I can't move. You create this sentient
creature that serves you and then you have to leave it
behind. It stays there forever.
I think you're where. Are you going mother?
Mother, please save me from this hell.
I think he was talking about putting a glyph of wording on
the homunculus servant and that would be FedEx.
That's so. Great.
Or message or something like that.
Yeah, we have sent you this big crate of treasure.
Enjoy campaign goals. Just to raise the rest of our
campaign is trying to figure out how to create a mailing system.
Guys, I mean, I've got this other book right here.
Wait, no, this is the free market one.
Never mind, I don't have a mailing service one.
Now you know what's for next rear with Mcbrassity.
All right, customs and practices of the United States postal
system. You can start with Benjamin
Franklin. Yep.
Dude, this dude slayed. All right.
Good games. Good search yo.
That's. Good game, good game.
See you next week. Yep, see you.
