Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk,
OK? Thank you, so harsh.
Fuck you Craig, get out of my head.
Never. Good evening once again everyone
to Meta Gaming and our special one shot, The Kelidorian Heist.
Last time the adventurers found themselves embroiled in an
assassination plot targeting the mysterious thing Kelidor.
Their companion Maddock landed in jail after public alter
altercation, but managed to communicate with the party
through magical sending stones they playfully dubbed the Family
Plan. While in prison, Maddock
encountered a silent gnome name Rurik who communicated through
sign language, and a mysterious figure named Kiyomi, whose mere
presence commanded immediate respect for all guards.
Through clever negotiation with the magistrate Garza, Maddock
arranged to serve 9 days of community service under Ruic's
supervision instead of playing and paying a hefty fine.
This aligned perfectly with their infiltration plans, as
Ruic revealed himself to be one of their contacted allies,
marked by the same golden bar tattoo that bound them all to
their mission. Meanwhile, the rest of the party
regrouped at the base of Operation a Tavern called The
dog #, where they realized they had accidentally assaulted
another ally, who turned to be Orsic Shadow Cloak.
The group began piercing together their heist plan,
debating on whether their target saying Grand Am Killador was
truly a 2000 year old dwarf of legend or simply a title passed
down through generations. They identify key contacts
including Magra for weapons, Craig for the sleeping potion,
Brunja for the ambiguous clothing, Draga for explosives,
and the feared witch Varus who dealt in dangerous curses.
Their planning session was occasionally interrupted by
painful reminders from their magical contract tattoos
whenever they can contemplated betrayal.
The party's resources were considerable, including Link,
You know, linking everything together.
They ended the session with Botan, bringing them food and
drink as they continued their plans.
All right, guys, what are we doing?
Probably get the other people that we're supposed to be
planning this with. Yeah, I think that's what we
were saying. So.
Amico and Carl would go with or Orzic to figure out a any
potentially good hidden passage ways for infill and exfill.
We gonna case the joint. Yeah, exactly.
And then the rest of us were going to make these visits to
the others. I think we were last discussing
though which of these were actually important.
And then my head. Hurt for some reason, I'm going.
To explain DND was something fair college chance well.
I do know that. I just.
Played DND, what time of day is it?
Currently y'all would have ended the day there, so it would be
the start of a new day. OK.
My gunshot wound is feeling much better.
That's good, I mean. Happy.
So it's Carl and Orsic. Whenever you want to get going,
we can head up. Sure case the place, find the
potential weaknesses, hidden doors, all that shit.
Perfect. Is Orsic in the room with us?
Oh yeah, Orsic and and Ruik are both in the room with you guys.
So Orsic, is there any time of day that would make most sense
for us to show up as fake maintenance to check out some
repairs and wander around the castle?
Aye, aye. So what we're going to do is I'm
going to take you and the weird ad one right there and we're
going to go back to the shop, get a few change of clothes, and
then there so happens to be a busted water fountain going to
be happening today and we will be going to repair.
OK. And then check check the extents
of the water damage throughout. I we're gonna be checking the
extent of the damage. Picking up what you're putting
down. See, this last gets it, you
guys. Play every other day.
Mm hmm, Flick. My eye just for quid pro quo.
I know Jesse will be joining us shortly, so I don't I don't know
if I think she would be actually with your guys's crew
potentially too being AI can't read my writing.
What was her character again? Glenna, Glenna the.
Clenna, yes. The backseat backseat slash, not
the a. Little cutie.
Yeah, Cutie. OK.
Is she sneak? I believe so, because she was
going to be or she was. She was being sneaky before.
I don't know that. Much possibly we can write in.
We find her on the streets doing something on the way.
Sure. Where you guys?
I just wanted to throw that out there since I.
Went back and looked at. It otherwise we dumped her into
a into a shopping cart and we we lost she won't wake up good.
All my stuff, we're down there. Is all right so in a not so loud
way, Rourke looks at you medic and start signing.
Hey, time to go to work. I I gesture to her ten, who
didn't seem to get the understand the the signs before,
and it's you tell him he's saying we need to go to work.
That's great you didn't take sign.
Yeah, and and I'm assuming Sir Huxtable understood Burke
signing who is joining us as well.
Olivia, are you there? Hello.
I hear.
You. Yeah, Sorry, sorry, sorry.
There we go. Yeah, there we go.
OK. These.
Distractions. Puppies are adorable.
All right, so Rourke continues to sign.
We're gonna go make our security route checks through the city,
stopping at the shops required. We're going to go security
route, I tell her, 10. Is there an intelligence check
to pick up on that like Mint? Oh.
For. What?
Ertan no, I think Carl's standing right there at that
point is asking. Oh well, like AI mean never
mind. I was just wondering if there
since she was being like quiet about it, if you had to roll
like an insight to like pick up on what she's putting down.
Rourke. You mean Rourke the gnome?
Rourke's the one signing, yeah. Got it.
Yeah, sorry. And he, he just seems to, that
just seems to be the way he talks or communicates it rather.
Yeah. So you know.
Well, I guess we better best be off.
Good luck to you and your subterfuge.
And not to Carl and Amico and Clinic, who is there somewhere
just glassy eyed or asleep. All right, so I think I will
take the guards first. We'll take with the guards
first. So they'll be rurk Ertan Matic
and Sir Huxtables as you're, as you're getting ready to go, Ruer
kind of sign signs over towards Sir Huxtable.
At least one looks decent as basically comparing comparing
dress of, you know, guard garments and stuff and looking
at Sir Huxtable and himself and then wanting it, wanting it.
So if you're, you're doing this in sign, right?
Because we all do sign language. Yeah.
So you're going to have to, like, use like, I don't know if
you're looking at Sir Huxtable or you're just like looking at
the guards and the signing this assuming Sir Huxtable's looking
at you, but he definitely is not.
He is like looking up. There's something flying in the
air, whether it's a moth or like a wasp, I don't know, but it's a
yeah. But he is watching intently
whatever insect there is that's buzzing around above you guys
and does not see your sign language.
All right. Seeing that too, that you've
over the night too. I was just going to say I had
switched garb. If that changes your
understanding. I I put I put on what looks like
a, a, a jacket that's like a little worn, but it's definitely
get the military look of where his roots are are from that he
he claimed to have as well as a few epaulettes of some sort
noting his rank. You guessing some sort of field
Sergeant? I hope this does.
He gives you the sign of. OK.
Oh, I'm trying that. I like that.
Look at that thing with Bobber here real quick.
While we're walking to wherever we're going to, I'll look down
Huxtable and go. You want to ride?
Our Huxtable's gonna look up at you and his his ears are gonna
go straight up and his tail's gonna start wagging and he's
gonna, he's gonna nod very enthusiastically.
And he's irresistible. And I I pick up Sir Huxtable and
place him plop him on my shoulder.
Horrible. Yes.
All right, so, so which store would you like to visit first on
y'all's patrol? Ruwick would like.
What's the food? Pay all I got, I just remembered
to have something to do if I got If I get it done in time I'll
come back, but fuck, sorry Rick. It's OK Jacob and a magical miss
surrounds Earth and he magically.
As. Those missing.
As I turn to him and start to ask him that question, I go,
well, and then I turn back to Sir Huxtable.
I guess it's up to us, to you say food, maybe, maybe Craig has
food. He sounds like he has food.
He's got potions, so he's got to have something to mix him with,
right? Sounds good, Sir.
Optimal. Hello.
Sparks in response. I think, I think that I think
that's a yes. Let's go all over to Craig then.
All right, let me just get my. There it is.
Alright, so y'all heading to this the ain't are we?
Calling the map. Yep, y'all y'all on the map list
of mine. I see y'all on the map.
Can somebody y'all not? Paying where we are, it's just
so big. I cannot.
Oh, OK, one second. Let me just close that out.
It's. Big and I'm tiny and I don't
know where we are. Like trying to find your SIM in
the massive mansion you built for it.
Aha. OK.
Up in the. Corner.
Oh no, I did something. Yeah, if you shift click, it'll
drag the camera view for everybody over there, which is
perfect. OK, that's.
Great. Yes.
So I guess we're going to Craig. Rourke science.
I needed a drink anyway, so it doesn't take y'all very long to
make it over there because basically from where y'all are
to basically the bottom bottom side of town over here is where
Craig's diner's at which bam. OK.
Right down there is where his Tavern is sitting.
Now he's got to grab back up here and grab you guys.
We. Just hang on a second.
Yeah, there goes Josh. Hi, Scott.
And I got Sir Hooks to Blah all right.
Mail you later. Oh, OK.
Oh yeah, I forgot it. There we go.
Zoom, zoom in. All right so y'all make it to
the Tavern and the Tavern is not OK.
It's not as big dimension wise as the dog pound.
It looks more like this is a Tavern for say, medium to really
like really short tall people. So Maddox, you're definitely
going to have a little bit of an issue getting through the door
due to size constraining, but it is a.
Fitable A fitable. It's a fitable.
I'm imagining like a hole in the wall for locals, OK?
Yeah, so as as soon as we approach the door, Sir Huxtable
is going to jump down from Maddox's shoulder and like, run
up to the bar and ask for a beer.
Don't run up on somebody like that.
As you see, the man behind the person behind the bar is kind of
a very wiry all sleek black tabaxi, but his hair is very
matted and or kind of like it looks like there might be some
patches missing out of it. Burnt patches or like.
Like actual pieces of fur missing out of his, you know,
skin. What can Greg do for you?
What can I do for you? Thorex Wolves is going to going
to sniff at them a little bit maybe maybe smell not
everything. This person is not completely
well, but that doesn't disqualify them from pouring a
beer. So say can I have a beer and
also one for for my friend? I was going to motion over to to
Maddox so I'm assuming is slowly coming through the door.
Yeah, I, I, I hunched through and stand loomingly behind Sir
Huxtable. OK, OK.
You know, call, call your muscle off, call your muscle off.
OK, OK, OK. I'll take a big beer too.
Big guy, you can take whatever you want.
OK? OK.
Craig, Craig, Craig. Gotcha.
I look at, I look at Rick and go, this is the guy signing, of
course. Rura goes.
Yep. I turned my inner forum out.
Well, I'll wait for him to get the beer.
Yeah, he's like basically darting back and forth, darting
back and forth from, you know, from one point of the bar to the
other. Oh yeah, yeah, they need that.
Oh, wait, yeah, they need that. Oh yeah, yeah.
Wait, what did you what? Did you want to get?
Oh yes, that. And then he brings the small
picture to you, Maddox, and the really big picture to you,
Huxtable. There you go.
Huxtable's tails just going to start going wild, yes?
I'll. I'll just look real downtrodden,
but I kind of also look back over my shoulder to see if
there's anybody else in the bar. The bar down here it looks very
sparse from the back corner over to your to your rear left looks
like there might have been a a bar fight here last night.
Several tables in the back are kind of like turned over those
to be one or two broken stools and definitely what looks like
in the corner is a large passed out humanoid.
It's kind of in the the dark side of that corner over there
to in, in the very, very dark of the corner.
But you can definitely see the rise and fall of a humanoid in
drunk sleep mode. I'll How's Sir Huxtable handling
that big beer? That's my first.
Oh, so I need to roll. He is definitely doesn't even
think about it. Yeah, yeah.
So it gets set down in front of him.
Doesn't even think about it. Just like takes two or three big
gulps or whatever or laps it up for for quite a long time.
And then like stops to take a breath and looks over and
realizes that Maddox beers smaller and that he the the cups
were actually backwards. He probably should have the
smaller one and like slides it over towards Maddox.
Like did you want this one? I I tried it, I tried to pick up
the beer before you note and the smaller beer before you notice
and kind of turn my back up against the bar if if you allow
it. But yeah, no Sir Huxtable I I
would need a constitution, save for that nice bit of drinking
there. Constitution save, you say?
Yes. 22. Nice you did you, you just
basically # down the drink is hardcore is your little itty
bitty self can and. Wow man, you, you good?
You good? You want some more?
Go look down. I'm going to look up.
So Rex Bull's going to going to say I'll finish this one first.
But but could you get could you pour a tall one for for my
friend over here? Oh, see, I I knew I was
forgetting something. And he?
Goes over, grabs one of the larger glasses, fills that up
and then brings it over and sits it in front of Rurik.
Everybody got the drinks now, OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody
got the drinks, yeah. What?
One more? One more tall one, please.
One more it's it's it's OK, little girlfriend.
And I just unhinged my jaw and dump the little glass into my
mouth like it's like a drop in the bucket.
And then I set it back down on the on the counter.
And go, we're here for business. Anyways, just one moment.
Is that the only patron you have in here right now?
Oh. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah.
So, so she a little bit. She's a little.
Bit of a. Lush over there.
That's, that's, that's, that's my friend Bersna.
You know, she, she, she, she's a little bit of a lush.
OK, she, she got the same rejection as all of us and she's
kind of drunk herself into a stupor over there in the corner.
She's a real nice gal. I I promise as he's scratching
the crap out of his arm. And I set the the glass down on
the counter noticeably turning my forearm out and making sure I
got his attention, looking him in the eyes and then looking at
my forearm and making sure he notices the old bar issue.
Here for this, the same thing that's on your forearm, the gold
bar Insignia that that that we got from taking this quest.
We're going for Adalberry. What he says.
Well, 213. It takes him a second.
He he looks, he looks over, he's looking over at her, looking at
you, then going looks down at Ruk.
Looks back to you. Looks at your arm, Looks over at
Sir Huxtable. Looks back to you.
Looks back over the corner. Looks back to your arm again.
Oh. Oh, you're those guys.
You're the OK, OK. Scratch his arm again.
You're those? Guys, got it, got it, got it.
What can Craig do for you? What can I do for you?
Oh, don't worry about her. She's one of us.
Don't worry, Don't worry about her.
OK, OK, that's well, good to know.
I I think, but could could you get us some and I just one
moment and I pull. Out a a a stone and I text Greg
and I'm like what did we need from the potion guy again?
We don't need anything. We're supposed to gather
everyone to make a plan. Oh.
So we're not, we don't need potions.
This was the sleeping potion vendor.
I mean, well, if, if that's what he has, I guess that's what we
should get. OK.
Yeah, I don't. I'll let him know.
The list of five contacts. I think this was a shopping
list, not people that would actually come with us.
Just a hats off sidebar. Oh, I thought it was people that
were supposed to be helping us plan the highest.
No the inside. Contacts, we just bring them all
just. A whole crew, yeah.
The Heist. So the let's see, the inside
contacts are different than these shopkeepers.
Got it. And Brishna, or whatever her
name is, she is on the rejected vendors list.
She's a clothing. Yeah, she's a tailor.
I think we needed to go to her next probably, but I figured.
Bring. Was thirsty so.
Bringa is the clothing person we were supposed to go to.
What would we get from a clothing person?
This guy to clothes. Yeah, party clothes.
Got it. So maybe the spartender knows
that person. But possibly, but I Ruerik does
Ruerik knows all of these people.
So it still being in the sidebar that we are, I think that I
think the idea is that we would go from Craig then to Bringa and
or yeah, Bringa and then and then possibly either to Varath
or Braga, because Vareth has curses and Bracha has Boom and
Marga has special weapons. But I don't think we I can't
think of anything that we were asking for for that.
But I don't know either which way we can still stop at all of
them. But yeah, so I guess at this
point to just keeping in character as much as possible, I
I'll go. We're here for some sleeping
potions. The strongest you got, the
better. He, he kind of like took in his
ear. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you, you
look at that, that, that good, that good, that good brew.
OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, the bot, the bot, the bot the boss told told me you'd
be, you'd be coming to get get get my brew.
Or at least maybe I don't know, but I got some.
How much you want? We'll take it.
We'll take it all. All of it, yes.
OK, OK, OK. Whatever you do, whatever you
do, don't sip it. OK?
Don't, don't don't sip it. It it it.
Shocks. Wait.
This this one's. Not for us.
Shot, shot, shot. Wait, wait, did they?
Did they say sleep? Sleeping potion.
I think that when unless you were different, what did you
hear? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. Totally sleep motion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. As he's, you know, sitting
there. Pulling more for her out of his
skin. Out of his skin.
I think he means the long sleep when he goes to the backroom to
get whatever he's getting. Yeah, I think sleep is in
quotes. Fine, we'll just use a little
tiny bit of it. It'll be fine.
Yeah, OK, OK. We're.
Trying to kill the guy, right? Yeah.
So he brings a big old barrel out from the back.
All right, all right. This is the this is this is the
stuff right here, man. Hoisted up on the table, for
just as small as he is and light as he is, he straight.
He man's the keg to the to the tabletop right there in front of
y'all. CC SOAPY sleepy O.
P. Y no fine fine code.
I'm pretty bad at filling here. Give me a second I.
Like I like. Type that into the into the into
the sending stone. Is that sleepy to Carl?
Just to confirm, it spells out soapy right that's.
What? It sounds like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that is that, does that mean
people go night night? I follow up with.
No, that's what you take showers with.
That's how you clean yourself. I should probably.
Do that. He just bought a barrel of soap.
Well. We didn't buy it yet.
Hand sanitizer, I didn't buy it yet.
Just hold on. Great.
I think that's the wrong barrel. I'll turn to Rubik and go.
That's not right, right? Rule of see you does his own
comprehensions check on that totally.
That's totally what we're looking for.
Totally. That's.
What I'm understanding. He he, he signs you, can't you?
Read that that's he's smart. How old for the benefit of the
doubt role in intelligence check just to see.
Yeah, I got AI, got a 16. Did I?
Do I understand the situation? Is that so you roll 17 -, 1?
Perfect. You have.
What we? Got Carl you know is Carl's
smart and he's saying it's not right and then you have two
individuals who are saying that it is right very.
Confused. Yeah, I will.
Give you the quadrup of that. Yeah, sure, Sir.
Huxtable can't, Sir. Sir Huxtable says it's.
Code. It's code Sir Huxtable knows it
doesn't say sleepy, but not concerned, right?
Because we know what it is. Unless, Unless we're concerned
that right, because we've said a sleeping potion.
So like the guy behind the bar knows we want a sleeping potion.
Just the fact that he spelled it wrong.
Just because he can't spell doesn't mean we don't know what
it is. But then didn't he just act like
he like when you said sleeping potion he seemed confused.
I and he. Said make sure not to sip it.
I take the keg and I turn it on its side a little bit and then I
pull out the cork and I dip my finger in it and then I put the
cork back on and then I walk over to the sleeping patron and
I stick it my finger in the. What you're beautiful solve.
Anything. Didn't he say this person was in
on it? He's the person we're supposed
to get the fancy clothes from. And then wiggle, wiggle my
finger around. In our eyes.
Did they wake up? Oh, we're we're holy bear.
Did that one first. Hold on.
Do we go into like, combat? Oh yeah, yeah, she woke.
She woke up and hold on let me see how this well this is about
to go for her. Based on the quality of this
like dude that you're talking to and us as a group, this person
did not hire a great team. Yeah, I feel like.
When one of us is about to do something drastic, we should go
into like turn based so people can react once they notice
what's happening. Yeah, maybe.
I mean, is Sir, Sir Huxtable going to stop me?
I don't know. I'll know, I'm just going to
watch. But.
We should have option. So you guys are?
On the other side of town. She passes and out from her
muzzle just belches out three little bubbles and then her eyes
snapped open and matic. Yeah.
How, how does 23 feel to you right now?
The hit, yeah, not so much hit, but but does it touch your AC?
Yes. This large woman springs her
feet faster than you think, very startled, and has you in the
world's biggest bear hug. Very angry.
What are you doing in my mouth? Making sure you're alive.
If. She just blushes hardcore,
looking at the state of herself, looking at what you just did,
looking over, seeing that people are looking at her.
He's a bull, she. Yeah, what is She is a.
Let's see, give me a since this is yeah for all you guys except
for Rick. Knowledge nature or Knowledge
history, whichever is the highest for you.
Or history. Same same.
We'll go with nature though. Oh that was so close to a Nat
20. Instead it was a 2.
Sir Huxtable or is Sir Huxtable going to let this drama, this
play out? No, sorry.
Give me one second. You caught me, right?
OK, history or? Nature.
They're the same. History, History. 19 Maddock you
you understand this is a big, big angry woman, Sir Huxtable.
Well, you know them by two different names.
In some regions they are known as the Bjornfolk.
In this region they have another fun name because they live so
close to humans and dwarves. Bare folk.
And as she's just so mortified, she takes and decides to Maddox.
You go from being in this position to over here not at the
wall. Jeez, control and click OK, not.
I should have kids. Is Maddox thrown off their feet?
Yep, he is being thrown to the opposite wall.
Would that be? An athletic.
Oh yeah, you, I, I want to see. Yeah, 'cause she's she, 'cause
she's eating you and running, crying at the current moment
from embarrassment. So you you get 22 she goes and
you do this amazing like like midway somersault and then land
in the Super cool sumo stance all before etching out barely
touching the wall with your tail.
And and she's out the door by the time I've landed.
Oh yeah, 'cause she she rolls out sobbing of embarrassment.
I just turn to turn to Craig and I go.
I don't think it works. I am not there.
So, so Sir Huxtable is going to look to the the bartender and be
like sleeping potion. That's not a gin sleep.
That's that's 'cause you just got a little again, you don't,
you don't, you don't, you got to sip it.
You don't drink, you sip it. OK, I've been fine, you said.
Don't sip it. I'm not.
I'm not taking this barrel. I need something else.
It's good quality stuff, OK. Look, can we look in the back?
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. Come on, come in the back.
Pee pee. We follow him.
He takes you. Yeah, he takes you all back.
You'll see where the counter is, literally to that room directly
behind the counter. And in there there's like
barrel, palm barrel against the far wall.
And each one is labeled for their specific purpose.
CCC. I got, I got, I got the groppy.
I got the toppy, I got the noppy.
I got, I got that. I got that sleepy right there.
See, see how it's missing? See, see right there.
And and and This is for the droopies, the whoopies, the
sleepies. I think we want the droopies.
Oh, see what? Why didn't he see?
He said the sleepies. See.
See, that's why I got the the sleepies.
I think it's your turn to be the tester to show us the worth of
your product. Nah, man, I got.
I got. AI got a a bar to run.
Well, the first how do we know it works?
Yeah, the first one. Didn't because because it does
work. You just didn't.
Give her the right. Amount for her big self OK.
She's a big, beautiful woman, OK?
She needs a lot to make her drop.
Well. So so wait, so if that was the
sleepy one, then what's the droopy one, dude?
Oh, the droopies. Oh, that's, that's, that's the
funny one. OK, you think you you, you talk
and find like this and then all. Of a sudden you go.
That's the droopies. Give that to one of your your
your magical friends. Parties gonna light up like the
4th of July. So Sir, Hoxtables going to look
over to Maddox and be like, will that work?
I I think that'll work better than whatever the other one
thing did. I've seen some bubbles come out
of her mouth. I think she just had cleaner
teeth after that. I do make them so that you turn
out minty fresh. Hoxtables is going to shrug.
Be like, oh, we got to take something back.
Yeah, I guess we'll take this one and then budget.
Is that OK? That that that's fine, CC I
just, I just changed the order. They all cost the same baby.
Hold on. Let me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They all cost the same. Yeah, yeah.
Make sure to put it on shore. Girls tab and I pick up the
barrel and put it into my into my bag of holding.
See, I need to get me one of them.
Yes I do. I need to get me one of them on
these days. It's useful for the jobs.
Hey, if you if you're looking to make an extra few coin while you
while you doing nothing to do right here after this is all
done, if you if you don't get if you don't get get did you know?
So you know what I'm saying? If you don't get did come back
here to Craig's and and and we I will personally hire you to do
some delivering for me. OK.
Well, as long as the pay is good and you and there's beer
involved. Don't you worry, Craig takes
care of all of his peoples, OK? You just.
Come back to Craig and. He just starts scratching at his
back and I and I will take care of.
You. Craig I I appreciate that and
then an all good sense of the words.
I think you might need to use that sleepy potion on your skin.
He starts dabbing his fingers the sleepy potion.
It starts rubbing on his skin. Does he get all sudsy or does he
fall asleep? He starts looking at maybe I
need a little. Bit of mouth, he kind of like
puts his whole hand down in there and then rubs off.
See, it's all good. It's great.
It's the most amazingest thing ever and.
Falls flat out behind the bar. Oh, looks like it worked.
I guess we'll take this one too. And then?
Should we take? Those.
Yeah, we'll just take those, it seems.
Like. We've got other problems.
To worry about. Those so he's been pretty nice
to us though, so I'll be nice back and I leave like a a gold
on the counter and I say Rurik, we're headed off to the next
one. Ruik just kind of currently sees
the the the basin behind the bar, goes behind there, grabs
the bucket, drops the bucket on him, signs dumb ass and walks
out with y'all I. Was yeah, Tarts was going to
look up and be like one down. Totally expecting Ruik to draw
Draw A Penis On His Face work priorities, probably a good time
for you to switch it. Yep, I'm going to switch myself
over to Hello Carl and Kimiko and in the ether cleaner.
Yep. Oh yeah, there.
Somewhere. Oh my God.
Wait, hold it. Did I miss Jess just coming in?
Oh my God, I did. Sorry, I'm still not shopping.
She's in our shopping. Cart.
I'm small enough I could probably fit in a shopping cart.
Alright, so Klana, Kimiko and Carl or Oric the Orsic.
Alright, I'll be ready. This job one.
Second, I need to get changed. I'm going to turn myself.
What?
Go ahead. I thought we're going somewhere
to get the uniforms. Oh, we're going to get uniforms
now. I thought we were heading
straight to the. Castle Orzik mentioned a side
stop. Yeah, he get close.
Yeah, he said. He's going to side stop with you
guys to grab up uniforms. Yeah, we should get uniforms for
everybody too, just in case. So we can like do a quick change
night of if we need to. I like that.
Yeah, another, another, another bolt and the quiver.
We all hold hands and skip down. Skip down.
To location. All tails swishing just.
Enjoying the day? Animal friends go for a walk and
kill the king. What's that like that double
gallop skip in Wizard of Oz? Is that the movie it's in?
You know what I mean? Where you like take, you skip
twice in One Direction and then you zigzag.
It's like a zigzag skip. Do you guys know the thing I
mean? I'll show you you're a mic will
do it. We'll skip off into the sunset
all. Right, all right, so it takes
y'all maybe at best 30 minutes to walk your way back over to
skip, motherfucker. Yes, Skip skip skip, skip
Skipity, Skipity. Alright, myself and this fella.
He. He gestures at Carl.
We're going to walk in, grab the uniforms, be out Jeff, to keep
our footprint small. You ladies stay right here.
And you? Want to transform myself into
looking like Mario from Super Mario.
A plumber's hat, but a dwarf. And to clarify, Amico always
hides her fox features in public now that we are criminals.
You might. You'll have to be our apprentice
because aren't you masquerading as a dwarf child?
Yes, yes, I am or. There's.
No child labor laws here last. Whatever race I look the most
like as a youth, that's what I'm masquerading as.
All right, so for Clenna and Imiko, give me, well, what's
yours? Passive perception.
Let me play with that. Yeah. 2nd I'm trying to find it.
There it is. 14. OK.
And. 19. 19 there it is. That's weird.
The Clena did not up there there she I must say Clena did not
appear on my map when I wanted to.
Yeah, I couldn't see myself, but I was just like, I'm probably
not. There you are, there you are.
I put you right next to it. OK, I see us.
Yes, there you are. Yeah, I know.
I have those tokens up there at the bar and stuff right now, but
we will zoom all the way down to where we need to be.
Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. There's one not.
Let's see. It's shift.
No, not shift control. Zoom the camera.
It's shift. Click Shift.
Left no no to put somebody where you want to put them.
Alt. Alt.
Hold alt and move them as. Needed.
There we go. Thank you.
No. Problem.
Yeah, the shifting and the Alting moving everybody, frankly
everybody at. Watch how many damn buttons?
Many God damn buttons on this plane.
Can't these days in their buttons?
And happy day. All right.
So have you all down there and while you guys are currently
outside? Back to the scene of the crime.
And after this will be after Carl and Orsic go inside Klenna,
you hear ever so faintly the sound of basically.
Like like the, the, the, the the lightest tap on cobblestone,
like boot cobblestone, the lightest like faintest tap and a
person comes and as soon as I can get my my piece on the
board. Why?
Why Jesus, there we go is. This noticeable because the
streets are mostly empty. Yep.
I'm guessing it's early in the morning.
Oh yeah, OK. And a about 5-10 five eleven
female with long black hair kind of gets up pretty much as close
to you as possible. And you hear her as her last
footsteps come up right behind you.
Why? Hello little one, What are you
doing out here so early? I have turned to her and I'm
just like, we're just on a nice morning stroll.
Why are you up so early? Oh, you.
Could say I'm a night owl. Also, this is up late for you.
Up late, Early to rise? Depends on how you look at it,
sweetie. In this time, Emico has whipped
around and she's kind of like in a slight Crouch, not looking
aggressive but on her toes, ready to move if she needs to.
And you, you still look like a dwarf child, right?
Yeah, or what was the other race that I possibly look like?
Human. What would be more convincing
'cause I'm I'm I'm slight. In the in in the, in this in
this area. Dwarf.
OK, 'cause I'm not stocky. Yeah, I'm more lanky.
The woman in front of y'all she is clad in kind of like a a
purplish like purplish kind of Gray cloak from like shoulder to
like mid hip with basically knee high boots and for I'd say she
looks very humanoid from appearance and features.
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.
What do you want? Oh, don't get me, don't get me
all angry and upset. Now I'm I'm just here watching
out for everyone and I see two small little ones out and about.
I just have to. Check and make sure you're OK.
Make sure no uncouth people mess with you while you're on the
road. Only one I'm seeing is the one
in Friend me. Yeah, I think we're doing fine,
lady. We don't need your help.
So you're just out? Like talking, I'm just still
half turn to her, kind of like slowly moving towards the door.
So you're just, you're just out on a walk, nothing else, not
being. Naughty little.
Children know about. I kind of stick an elbow in you.
Like, shush, don't give her any more else to talk about.
We wanted to shut up so we could leave.
I kind of like lean down and whisper that to you, like stop
talking. Let's just leave her here.
I shuffle my foot across the ground and like, tap you back in
child's fashion. This whole time I wouldn't
trying to keep like one eye on this person, just aware of them.
So she kind of looks down at you, Imaco.
I remember when I was that small.
And then she leans right down to basically your ear level, but
can. I have a moment to like react
when she gets in my personal bubble.
Oh yeah, sure. If she gets within like
retouching distance from me, I take a big step back.
Oh no, she she leans down. And when I say ear level, she
you're looking like a dwarf, right?
And when she stops, she does not stop at what would be considered
normal ear height. She stops just right at where
your natural ears are. If you're going to be a naughty
girl, you should really learn to hide better.
Who says I'm naughty? You haven't done anything
proven. And she looks at you and then he
gets like a a mischievous smirk across her face and pops 2 ears
from the top of her head and 9 tails from her back.
Dude, try a harder little one. So for the knowledge of the
situation, Amiko has never met another one like her.
So all of a sudden she lights up.
Anger angry child. Facade dropped.
Hana is still on alert. She's just like great ears and
tails. Big whoop.
Oh, and so all of a sudden she's all excited to go.
I never got your name. Oh, they just call me, kill me
here. Kill me, I like that.
Yes, now like I said, make sure you stay on good behavior.
I mean no promises, but we'll see.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must check on other things.
My time is very very very short as always.
And she kind of poofs. Where?
Can I, oh did she react to Amico trying to ask one more thing or
no? Nope, she poofs straight into
like a bluish white fire. You you've come to know this as
something that you do when you're when you decide to dart
out, just not in that much of a flash.
OK. Oh.
Man, I never found out where I could find her again.
Let's see, I forgot the word for it.
Is it misty step Forget? Yeah.
OK, there's no way to track misty step, right?
And it's it's relatively short range so I'm looking around.
Give me a investigation. Investigation.
It's from where she can see, right?
So if you run to where she is and then look around, you should
have. I mean, let's see what's the
range on this thing? I forget, I just know it's not
too far. So I'm.
Just going to say. You have to scroll my timesheet.
30 I believe. Five 10/15/2020 5:30 Technically
this alley is out of range, so most of the things within 30
squares are within eyesight. Unless there are details to this
map that you're imagining that are are not represented in plan.
She's just like appears like 30 feet over.
Oh shit, I thought she actually supposed to be a little further.
Yeah. She looks down, there's like an
X marked on the spot, like 20 feet to the right, like shut.
Damn it. The only other place I can think
of is like here. So because that seems to be the
only area within ice because Missy step is within sightline
right? I forget I'm trying to scroll my
time my character sheet. Oh God.
Let's see, yeah. Can I not find it?
I believe it's within 30. Let me just double check myself
just to make sure. Oh wait, no I don't.
Can Emiko Misty Step. I don't.
My other characters can. I don't know if she can.
Unless Kitson A in your world inherently can because I
couldn't build her off of A like a Kitson A.
Yeah, yeah. Because I know in my world they
can. It's a number of times per.
It's a number of times per their tails.
OK, that's why it's not on in my character sheet then I'll have
to add it. Yeah, let's see, I'm looking up
the actual spell right now just so I can get the distance on it
for you. OK, Yep, clear line of sight.
There it goes. Wait, not that one.
Yeah, looking for that word 7 times.
Yeah. I must say I'm glad you're
seeing it 'cause I'm. And can you tell me the exact
square her character was on? She was right.
Let's see, you were here and she was there.
You're right next this square next to me.
Yep. 510152025 So she technically could have
teleported to the mouth of the alley or over here.
I'm going to think that behind me is more likely and I'm going
to quick look at both these locations.
OK. And if I don't see anything, I
have a plan as well, but I'm guessing you want me to roll?
That will be an investigation. That will be investigation. 19.
Is it 19 or is it 8? I see two 'cause I have an 8 for
investigation and that one was. The other one for something.
Else the invert the I only call for one investigation for
looking. Oh OK then if you are already
asked, it's the 8. OK, with 19 you don't notice to
the alley and you don't notice behind you.
I will after a quick like look to the two, she's going to just
pick one and run over here and look.
Oops. Ah, no, no, she's like not going
where I put her. Ah, why?
Why? Snap snapping to the squares,
that's the alt trick that we were talking about earlier.
So if you hold alt and then yeah, there you go.
Yeah, she's looking down here. OK, give me a investigation.
Yeah. That one all intensive purposes.
Imiko, She just poofed in smoke. Macaroni and cheese, she come
on, I got a hold of. She knows it's probably futile,
but she runs over here as well to look down the alley all.
Right. Give me another investigation.
3020 from that viewpoint right there all the way down that
alley, you don't see anything. But as you turn yourself back
towards where Clin is at, out of the corner of your eye on the
rooftop, you see just the very bare hint of a swishing black
and white tip tail. You.
Should start to climb up the building Like is there a way to
climb up? Nope, there's no way to climb
up. She starts running around the
building to see if there's got a hold.
I'm assuming you mean this building.
I'm whooping. There you go.
OK, yeah, she starts kind of running around seeing if she can
find a way up. Except for the set of stairs you
passed Clinna at, there are no other stairs going up.
OK, she'll go up the stairs, but she won't go inside.
Like if if these stairs only lead to a door inside then she
won't go in. Yep, that's exactly what that
door does. It goes right inside to the
actual because if you remember from the last time you're here,
there is no like bottom floor entryway to this place.
There's only the two stairways that lead up into the top floor
of this area. We come back.
Where can I find you? I need your help.
Can I get? Your.
Number. Hey, girl.
Let me have that math. All right, so shifting to
inside. All right, listen up.
We're going to make this super easy.
We're going to walk in. We're going to say hi to Jacob
at the front desk. After that, we're going to go to
the back, grab the uniforms, come back out and then leave.
Don't do anything brash. Like hit someone as he refers
that to Carl. Yeah, I was going to say.
I've never hit anyone in my life.
Oh wait, no, I'm looks like Mario.
It's me, Mario. I would never hit anyone.
I only jump on their heads until they die.
Lad, Are you sure you don't have a couple of screws?
Loose. Have you seen the Princess?
I've been looking all over for her.
No, Carl, I like to pretend all. Right.
Gesture to go inside. All right, so yeah, walk in.
He kind of does like what looks like a silent prayer before you
walk in. And as you walk into this open
area right here, you see a dwarf of the far end behind a desk.
Orzic. Ah, we have a new we have a new
face. Welcome lad.
Oh, oh. I walk up and I shake his hand.
It's. A me Mario.
It's a me, Jacob. I said to meet you.
I'm going to step back and let the other guy talk.
Don't worry, he's new, we're just getting him suited up.
Got to go handle the bust up in the keep.
And he's kind of like, exasperating, like, all right,
come, come now. It's going to be my big break.
After this, I'm going to be famous.
The Mario Brothers Plumbers. And as y'all start walking down
the hall, Are you sure you have no screw loose lad?
Just I worry, I worry about she will be in here.
They keep calling. All my people are we adapt to
our surroundings. I see, you know I want.
Mine myself. My name is Carl.
I look off into the distance. I could be anyone, but I am
Carl. I feel that is sad for you lad.
Or lick my eye. And then you'll make it to the
back and in this room there it looks like a shelves full of
uniforms, pants, tops, tools. And he hurt.
Or is it hurriedly grabs up six uniforms, 6 tool belts and 1:00?
Ladder for sure. Carry a ladder around.
Nobody else suspect you of trying to shoot the president?
All sorts of all sorts of required tools.
He puts those all in a big heft bag.
Tosses you a uniform. Carl.
All right, get changed, lad. I slip into it.
Oh, it fits snug as a dry as a as a bug and a rug.
All right, let's get going, he takes.
A while starts walking out with the bag on his back, waves by to
Jacob at the counter I'm. Going the entire way out.
Wahoo, wahoo wahoo. Punch my card, it's going to be
a day. And then Jacob from behind the
counter, go get him. Rocky, go get him.
We. Will we're going to get the turd
out of the toilet. Oahu all.
Right. So from here, all right, let
the. So they did.
They walk outside. Yeah, they walk themselves
outside to where you guys are. Hats off.
What was the woman's name again? I forgot to write it down.
Kiyomi. With AK.
With a K. I.
M. KYOME.
OME OK and Miko turns to Orzic and goes.
Who's Kiyomi? Carl, make a deck save.
OK, right row deck. Save +6 advantage against or to
avoid traps, an advantage against poison.
So you tell me that. None of those are in play. 20.
20 nice you avoid it nicely as Imiko you say that name and
Orzic literally stumbles a foot and drops near well nearly drops
the bag of equipment onto Carl less What what what what what
what what name did you just say? Herbal there, kill me.
Who is she? He grabs, he grabs up the stuff.
He reaches down to pick y'all up.
We need to go now. Wait, so he's picking all three
of us up? He picks you 2 up, he grabs and
then he just looks at Carl. We need to go.
Small, but I'm not tiny. I think I'm like 4 feet, 4 1/2
feet, something like that. Let me look.
I am. I'm 4 foot 9.
He is standing a a stashers dwarven 5 foot five and built
like a shit brick house. OK, so like I'm under his arm.
He picks me up. I'm just gonna go limp noodle.
And for as much. As he's squirming in like cat
fashion where they like their joints seem to go away.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing.
Yeah, as as as heavy as y'all are, and as much as he's
carrying, he is walking with purpose to get away from where
y'all are now. I've got a feeling we're being
told like half of the story with this, with this job find.
Her like yeah I knew the vibes were off.
That chick still limited. All and instead of making it all
the way, you know, tracking y'all all the way back to the
dog, the the dog house, he tracks y'all all the way over
and make sure to grab you guys. All right.
And then, oh, I learned a new trick.
The whole way I'm just like muttering little complaints and
I haven't stopped squirming. I'm imagining, you know, in Dead
by Daylight, where you have to squirm to get away.
That's what's happening. All right and y'all enter into
a. Sorry, I burp what looks like a
very smoky building and after he he gets in, he shuts the door,
he takes the big exacerbate. 'Cause he put us down.
And that's the time you hear incoming.
Oh shit. I immediately look around to see
where that's coming from. Wait, so are we, are we set down
now? Yeah, he sets y'all down as he
went. You didn't hear a very scraggly
voice yell incoming. Yeah.
I'm going to jump away from where I hear that.
Yep, deck saves for everyone that just walked in this room,
including him. Oh.
What she shall do at disadvantage for.
I real slow poorly for that. I only got a 13.
All right, so let's see here. Clina 13, Imaco 25, very artful,
reliable talent. I kind of love that thing and
Carl. Did it not come through?
I had rolled a 25. 25 Yeah, you you and Amico are like.
Yay. Amico, you're just like all hail
stood now and jump a pretty, you know, sizable distance like
Nope, not happening. And well, poor Orzic went and
heard. Boom.
And gets flabbergasted back against the wall that's right
behind y'all and. What happened?
Something exploded. Yeah, something exploded and
wait, did Clenog get caught in it or did she get out of the
way? Nope all three y'all made out it
was a it's a Saber suck. So basically you made it past
the safe so nothing happens to you.
He did not. He did not.
Carl looks around for anyone who seems to have is reacting to
this like differently, like someone who's not surprised this
has gone off. I can roll, but I also have a 26
passive perception and. A 22.
Passive investigation. Oh no, you see, he's right on
the other, basically right down there.
And it is a small figure hooting and a hollering.
It worked, it worked, it worked is.
This a planned attack, this is. Hi Jogan, nice to meet you.
What? And.
You see walking towards y'all customers as this small goblin
with big oversized goggles just comes up, lifts them off his
face, got soot all over his face except for where the goggles
land around his eyes. Oh, you OK or sick?
Y'all hear a small grumble and grunt from him as he's put on
that put on his ass. Oh, please send me to everyone.
I'm throgga. Hi.
Hello.
I cautiously wave like oh Jesus, what is this?
Do you regularly blow this wreath up with pedestrians
walking on it? Who?
No, this is this is a throgga. Shop This is my testing area.
It's my shop that I test. It's just I'm Orsic did it
again. He came in the wrong door again.
It's not my fault. It's not my fault.
If he was. Warrant.
I mean, y'all, y'all, y'all read sign outside, right?
Y'all read the sign, Carl. I saw no sign.
I was not in control of my position on this earth.
Don't worry, at least you are smart enough to move out to the
way when I said incoming. Well, yeah, you said it pretty
loud. Well, of course, one day school
Boom, you say? Incoming.
You should put another wall right in front of this door so
that they have to go around in like a you fashion so that you
don't throw bombs at the people who walk inside.
Or or in in in the Roga defense. Or they can read the sign the
Roga has no time for. What are y'all doing here again?
Honestly, I had no idea. Yep, very confused.
I was just getting. T-shirt dwarf that just got
blown up. I mean, we meant him here
eventually to get some stuff. Oh, we didn't really have any
choices to win. And I I orzik.
Orzic from the ground I. Really need to read the damn
door. Yeah, you know who could have
done that for you? I'm just glaring at him.
She's not like actually mad. She's like playful mad.
You know, I was so caught up in getting us away from where we
were. I but then again, I normally
forget to read the damn door. Yeah, what was up with that?
If you if he if he put the damn shit in fracking boorish, I'd
probably I'll read it better. But no, we have to be a goblin
because you want to be a proper goblin.
You're in a dwarf in town, lad. They're all gonna have no issues
reading Thor. Really depends on the
constitution of the area, right? Like is dwarf in the sanctified
language of this area? Or is it more like a hodgepodge
on purpose? So that you.
Get cultural blending. Oh no, it is very dwarf here.
Oh, got it. Nationalism.
I Oh yeah, I'm a dwarf. So like, oh, I did it.
I sweat my shoulder. My God, I'm supposed to Mario
Fuck. Roga just like fucking with
people also reacts is when they get boomed.
It's my pastime. I'm now just passing.
You should blind to. Try to make sure they're OK.
Oh, yeah, no, he he just looks like he has hurt pride.
It's just hurt pride. And Miko looks like.
This dude. Enjoying everything that has
happened to him. Does this dude have a gold bar
and his rest? Oh yeah, his is very visible
because of the fact of his arms are unlike most, you know,
goblins in this world that have a little more, you know, fur to
the outside of their arms and little, you know, furry arms and
things of that nature. All of his fur from the arm of
the elbow down is baby smooth. His bar is on full display.
His arm hair didn't scan. A chance.
No, ain't nothing there. So how'd you get involved?
Well, OK, so hear me out. Here, Here drogue out.
Here, drogue out. I wanted to apply for the gala
because I thought I had the best, best festival fireworks.
Droga makes beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful colours,
made all the beautiful explosions.
But that rat ass dwarf. And now I'm not going to
apologize. Or is it?
I'm not going to apologize, of course.
Frame me for being too dangerous to a dangerous Drogas.
So your reaction is to enter a blood oath to kill him.
Kill. I mean capture all.
All all Drogas going to do is make big, big booms and that's
what I'm doing. I I the other two uncomfortably.
OK, never mind, that wasn't the plan.
You're just making big booms because we are purchase series
of big booms for no known reason.
Because big booms are nice. I'm just kind of like, awkwardly
nodding my head. We like the big booms too.
It totally wasn't a question. You could totally mess up the
party you weren't invited to, you know?
Orzic after a few few moments after the ringing kind of kicks
off off of his ears. Where?
Did you see her and what did she say?
Right outside the the shop that we stopped at, she came up to
us, didn't really say what she wanted, saw through my disguise
and then I found out she's like me.
She's a kids in there. I have so many questions.
Where can I find her? What?
Who is she? OK, OK.
I guess first things one, you don't want to be someone that's
crossed this one. I once saw her chase down a man
in in the street and because he grazed her fur grazed, I admit
you, she. Kicked him through the wall.
Oh. I mean, she didn't seem mad at
us. I don't think we upset her.
She just seemed kind of amused and condescending.
I think she left the interaction satisfied.
I hope so, because we do not need her of all peoples on our
backsides. Why?
Who is she? She is one who has authority in
this town that supersedes even some dwarfs, and we all have no
reason why she does it or why she has it.
But we understand that she has the ear of the Thane.
And yeah, we're we're all quietly scared of her.
OK, so she's the the law's muscle.
No, no, no. Less she's the muscle that you
call when the muscle needs muscle.
Oh OK, I have so many questions. I will try my best to answer to
them. No, no, they're all I They're
all rumor. And speculation for me though.
No, you, you misunderstand. I have so many questions for
her. Where can I find her?
Oh Lord help us all. I mean I'll wait till after this
gig is over. Like I won't mess this up but
have to find her. I'm I'm glad of that last 'cause
you go trying to track her down while we're doing this.
She's not no one's fool. She will find she she is good at
finding things out. My life is kind of dependent on
this. You know that that comes before
my questions. I ain't dumb OK, But I I have
the questions. Well, I'm sure, I'm quite sure
that if we survive this and all this goes well, you can talk to
her to your heart's content. Oh oh.
Actually, or or or until she removes any vital organs from
you. I do have some questions for
you. Yes.
Do you seem to like the current ruling family or are they just a
means? Is she using them like they're
using her? Oh, no, she's been, she, she's
been working for the thing and the things thing going back a
few, few few years. I mean, let's see, I, I know of
her. Pennsylvania knows of her.
A pause. Pennsylvania knows of her.
She she's, she's been a while, a while, like.
Is this a job or a loyalty if you catch my drift?
You know, I asked, I asked me P1 time and he said she just lives
here with us. She she legitimately just keeps
disruptive people undisruptive. What do you mean?
She she, she makes bad people not want to be bad people less.
She's very, she's quite scary. I mean, I've never physically
met her, but I've heard from other dwarfs that say that
they've heard from other dwarfs that she is terrifying.
I mean she seemed more full of herself and terrifying, but I I
could get that if she's mad. I don't think I ever want to see
that lass. I mean, she wasn't a psych or
she wasn't too hard to look at if you, if you, you know what I
mean. And Co blushes a little.
Oh. So Lassie doesn't get it.
She's just like I saw her. Just mine.
Lassie, like the lassie's. Ah, I see, I see.
We have. We have a bar for that if you
like, don't worry. But maybe we're getting.
Off topic. And she's like a little fidgety.
So we're here to buy boomies. And she, she kind of like,
stumbles on the word a little bit and it barely sounds like
what she meant. Droga's ears perk up.
You're here for the boom boom. The Roga got the boom boom,
don't you worry. Do you want big booms?
Small boom, medium booms? All bones of boom boom?
The Roga got you, don't you worry.
We would like a demolition boom and a distraction boom, please
and thank you. Not distraction.
Do we want like you throw it in like, like, like fireworks.
Oh, OK, OK, OK. And then put it boom.
We're talking small wall, small building, big building, small
wall. Let me just stroke like I just
said. But OK, maybe also big wall,
maybe. All right.
Would you like, would you like a demonstration what was good for
that? I think your.
Previous demonstration was quite adequate.
Very interesting. Thank you.
OK. All right.
So this is and he pulls y'all around to the next adjoining
room where all the crates are AT and.
He's like, OK, OK, OK, OK, so I have these Eldridge
firecrackers. I have some dragon breath
charges. Those are really good.
Very fun. Oh, now let's see.
Now when you say a wall, are we talking wall, wall or wall like?
Stone Castle. Wall, OH.
Both maybe one for like the outside of the stone castle and
also one for like between rooms, you know?
I see, I see. I see, I see.
All right, so. What I'll do is.
Here is. And he hand you what looks like
a a little purplish charged up crystal.
All right, this is a dragon charge, very important.
Hold that. And then he brings over these
smaller kind of like cylindrical batons basically.
All right, these are firecracker.
You can wave them around. They don't really do much.
It's very pretty. Here's some of those.
And then second, but not very last but not least, this as he.
Pulls up a little small purplish cord with like a greenish blue
casing around it and this. Is Detonator, you know,
Detonator, Yes. All right, so hold that now.
She takes it and then he pulls out four really small cap,
basically looks like batteries basically all etched with
different runes on them. All right.
And these are explosive, what you do.
Is you put any points to the little detonator you put?
Explosives around detonator then when you are done you will then
put charge when you're ready make it go boom.
You just hit the charge and it go boom.
See. The charge stays in our hand.
Not, do not, do not put those things together.
You put things together, they go boom.
You OK the? Slipper, you know, go boom.
How do we, if we're, if we're holding this crystal, this
detonator crystal in our hands far away?
What do you mean by how do we activate it?
You hit it. I just smack it with one hand.
Yeah, you put it on it. You you put the you put the
crystal on the on The detonator and.
You hit it next to the explosives.
Are we going to be standing next to the explosives?
Yes. But how do I get away in time?
Are you so close? I said you hit it.
I didn't say you hit it close. I said you hit it.
Explosives. I can shoot an arrow at it to
activate it. Arrow, Pearl, hit rock, anything
as long as you hit it. OK, so The detonator is
surrounded by explosives and I put the charge on top of The
detonator. Yes, charge then will electrify
detonator, detonator within, spark the explosives and
explosives make big boom and then you can take firecrackers
and wear them in the air like you don't care.
Beautiful. She holds up a very childlike
diagram of the the layout. Yes, yes.
See, she's got it. You.
You're going to be good. What is it?
Or is it just looking looking at him all like?
He's an idiot, but a smart idiot.
Is there anything else? Would you like more
firecrackers? Did we need anything else?
I feel like this is all we needed.
We get a fireworks like launches into the sky and can distract
lots of people at once. I have been trying something
new. Would you like to test it for me
or have someone test it for me or test it for me?
We. I mean, I feel like if we tested
it this soon we might raise suspicions.
Good point, good point. OK, OK.
This is if you want someone chasing you to go from going
forward to going up very, very new, very innovative broga.
I call it a plasty disc. Plasty disc OK.
And then he brings out this what looks like bluish silver with
like a Gray rim disc. And goes.
What you do is you put the disk on the ground and then whoever
walks across the disk and they go boom into the air.
Rusty disk. Seems like we could make a jump
hat out of that. How very.
Dangerous jump hat Well. See enough to hurt someone.
Well, when I. Tested it out with a small small
scale small scale it it it shot my goat about 50 feet in the
air. And that was a small one.
Small goat. Small goat.
OK, so we're looking at like 100 feet maybe for a person.
The Rogo? I hope so.
Did the goat survive? He came to dinner the next
night. Not as a guest, I presume.
No. OK.
So no, I don't think we could use this as a jumping pad, but
it's definitely defensive. So thank you.
You're welcome. How many would you like?
3. All right at.
Least one per person maybe. Yeah, so 6.
All right, now the safety to make sure this stays safe with
you. All right.
There is a pin. OK, Before you put it on the
ground, you might take out the pin.
OK, Yeah, you might. You can do your drawing thing
again. They're going to explain you
have the disk. There's a smaller baby disk.
And he points to the little small circle in the middle.
Underneath that there is a small pin.
Pull pin put on ground. If you do not pull the pin, it
will not go the boom. OK.
I'm like why? Spell this out to everyone three
times, because someone's going to set this off. 100% going to
be it'll be medic for sure. I was just going to say probably
me. Guys, I'm sketching this in real
life too. Must have must must be uploaded
to to so we see these we must do that must must happen much like
how Jess did the dagger. All all images must be
presented. Is there a chat I can text it
quicker? Yeah, in the yeah, it should be
Elmore Kelledorian heist. And is that court right?
Oh, looks. Oh, wait.
Oh, I just saw that. Olivia.
Olivia, let this acquire the boobs.
But you have any like, big decorative stuff in the sky that
will like turn everyone's attention away from a certain
area to another area? Oh, you mean the real fireworks?
Trying to think. My personal favorites are the
ones that look like big Willow trees blowing in the wind.
I have. Not that you know that's a
requirement, but if you haven't. I have cherry blossom fireworks.
Done. OK, you got yourself a deal.
Now these are very very simple. All you do, you just put and he
pulls them out and it looks like one of those old school Acme
rockets with the little sticks attached to it.
All you do. You put it in the ground, you
light the fuse, it goes and he goes and it looks like little
red cherry blossoms falling to the ground.
Simple enough? And what's the delay between
lighting the fuse and it going off?
Results may vary. OK.
Shouldn't expect expected anything else?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, remember, how is it that the Roca is not
responsible for any loss of life, loss of sight, loss of
limb, loss of gems or any other properties?
Thank you for shopping at the Rogas.
What did you do to Jim? Oh, what about Jim?
That was the goat. Well, I mean so I.
He was a dumbest dinner guest. Little charred but otherwise
tender. He was very tender to me, he
was. So I think we're set here unless
anyone sees any gaps in our stock.
I mean, we have the distraction in the main boom, right, I
think. And now we have the they were
called jump discs, right? Blasty Disc Thank you.
Blasty Disc. Then you also ask for one to
just get in between like internal rooms, like a small
charge. All right, we the the explosive
detonator and dragon charge system, do we only have one
system like that or do we have multiple?
He gave you one. Is this one like outside castle
wall? One now, yeah.
Oh yeah, we'd also like some for like if we have to get between
rooms and make our own door. Oh.
Like a make make a door boom. Make door boom.
Make a door where there was no door.
Oh, that's easy, that's easy. You just take the dragon charge,
put on door and go boom. OK.
So that's for small wall then? Or just the charge without the
other ones. The charge without the without
all the extras it break doors it break oh stone door it break
wood door it breaks steel door. Well, oh wait, hold I I cannot
say that it make dent in steel door.
And it make door in Stonewall where there was no door.
Yes, excellent. I mean, it can't be more than.
And he puts his hands to his to his waist it.
Cannot be more big than this one.
Please describe the visual. He puts his hands to his waist
and then pulls his hands straight out.
And the wall cannot be bigger than these.
But how far is his hand out? His hands are roughly no more
than 20 inches apart. OK.
So can we have let's say 12 extra of those?
OK, sweet. So we thirteen of those total
are. We able to carry all this stuff
inconspicuously. That's a little purple crystal
the dragon charge, right? Yes.
How big is the crystal? Like egg sized or smaller.
It's well for him it's about a little bit bigger than his hand,
so it would be about the same for you, it would be a little
bit bigger, but in somebody like Maddox Hand, it would probably
sit in the center of his palm. So we talking like tennis ball
sized? It's about softball size.
Softball. OK.
I was thinking 2 for each of us in case we have to run.
So we have 13 of those total, one for the actual big boom and
then two for each of us to have. And how many batons do we have?
He gave y'all. You said you wanted enough for
everybody. So everybody has a firework
baton. OK, so times 6 for those and we
have how many cherry blossom fireworks?
You didn't ask. You didn't tell them how many.
You wanted those. Let's take 3.
OK, you have 3 cherry blossom fireworks.
I figure we'll want to set those off together, but staggered to
hold people's attention. This point Carl would probably
get a ping on the sending stone saying that Sir Huxtable is
poofed and I am headed towards the Bringa Party clothes shop.
Got some apologizing to do. Something.
Hello. What?
Kimiko know this, and then we'll have to stop there.
Next join up. He's all by himself now.
Thank you for your time and your skills.
You make Drogo so happy. See see Forzik people recognize
recognize Drogo skills. Amico has like an armful of new
toys. She's so happy.
Like, all right, we should put these in a safe place.
She starts trying to shove stuff in her bag and is divvying them
out all. Right.
Does anyone here have a bag of holding or I have a portable
hole but I have to throw it out? I have a bag of holding.
I walk over to her and I'm like, here, let's put this stuff in
here for now. Very nervous.
They let her just put. Are we putting all of it in
there or some of it? I think everyone can like carry
some, right? If she hands out the two
charges, the two purple dragon crystal charges to everyone.
At least everyone that's here. Yep.
Those are for you. Keep those, those are for you,
and these are for me. She puts her two away, everyone
gets a baton, and then she'll put the The detonator, the
basically everything else in the bag of holding.
OK. All right.
Should we go made-up with Maddock?
I think we should. All right.
And with that, with that guys, I will officially call it for
tonight with all the progress made and we will say that at
this point Maddock and Carl and Imico and.
Oh God, I can't. Kalina, there we go, nailed it.
God Dang it. Clenna.
Clenna and Sir Huxtable and Uritan are all meeting together
to watch. I guess Matic apologize or fix
the misunderstanding. Or try to seduce.
Or. 2, maybe 2 for two. But whatever the case is, we'll
find out next time if the kelled organized sounds.
Good. Yeah, good.
I put my finger in her mouth. Just put.
My whole. I just put my whole.
Hand in this lady's mouth, and she.
Seemed upset about it, I don't know why.
Really don't understand human customs.
Not at all. I'm.
Not going to get over there. What were you doing in my mouth?
Not something I ever hope. I never have that.
Yeah, Yeah. That's not a question anybody.
Ever. Imagine what I'm saying.
No, no, never my well. In my custom that's how you say
hello of. Course, that's because why not?
Future if we ever meet a hippo, you both have to just Hove each
other's hands and each other's mouths.
Exactly. They're going to hold you to it.
Yep, the hippo handshake. Oh God.
No, no guys, this makes sense. It's like the birds that it's
like the birds that clean the hippos teeth.
They don't know why this is a custom, but it stems from that
and it has been since lost time. So now they just, they just keep
doing it. They're like, this is how you're
supposed to do it. You brush each brush each
other's teeth. Yeah, yeah.
Oh good. So stupid.
Oh God. This is great.
What a heist, what a. Heist.
Trader, it's going great so far. Yep, they're doing fabulous.
So I'd say see you next week but I'm house sitting next week so
if I can get discord on my phone I might be able to just join in
voice but I won't have. I don't know if I'll have access
to my character sheet and everything, but I could at
least. Should be able to if you can get
to your browser. For the most part, yeah, but.
OK, I'll have to log in on my work computer because that's all
I'll have with me. Oh, and then on your phone too.
Oh, I didn't even think about that.
Yeah, 'cause that's how Rick handles it sometimes.
I know, yeah. Oh, OK.
Oh yeah. What's What campaign is next
week. We'll see.
Yep, yeah, 'cause yeah, that's basically how it's been.
It's like, like I plan to do everything in like one run.
Like, yeah, that's how Josh me, you know, talked about what I
was gonna do all one run but. Work for me kind of, you know,
has issues sometimes, so that's when Josh and me switch out to
help me out. Yeah, and by 1 grunt you mean
one session, because I wouldn't want this to only be one
session. Oh no, God no, no, no, like 1
like, you know, like the campaign go do, do, do, do, do,
do and then. I'll be done.
Weeks. Yeah.
Consecutive weeks, Yeah. That was what the plan was.
But life happened. Oh I have a question, do side
shot characters ever appear in your rhythmic or is only our two
main characters? Oh.
That's a challenge question. Yeah, they have, I, I think
before. So that actually usually does
happen. Not a lot of people end up
playing them because they aren't as attached to them, I feel
like. But I feel like if you're
attached enough to them, there's very much they're they're,
they're, they're there for the plan.
OK, because all of my characters know each other.
They all know each other. Well, they will now.
Yeah, they will have to be a. Rhythmic for us, Yeah.
Oh. No, I mean like they, they've
known. They've all known each other for
a very long time. Oh, they're all tied together.
Even even Amico. Yes, Even Amico.
Oh, yes, yes, yes. I like that.
Oh yeah, I have not announced to the general like player base how
they all know each other, but I, I, I plan to find times to weave
it in. Perfect.
I'm excited. Yeah.
Oh yeah, Yep, definitely. I, I want to move forward, like
definitely introducing more 'cause I have an entire world.
So it's like, enjoy it. Like if everybody enjoys this,
like, you know, maybe sitting with Josh and doing more stuff
like this, Yeah. Also give giving Josh giving
Josh more sit back break. Yeah, player time instead of DM
time. Player time, yeah, 'cause that's
what Josh has done for me is giving me player time.
Absolutely, absolutely a pleasure.
I mean, and yeah, it's definitely, definitely
appreciated. One one of my ideas from the get
go. So this is just completely hats
off backroom D. Oh, no, you cut off.
Yeah, I was. What a cliffhanger.
Oh no, cliffhanger. No, no, I'm back.
Sorry. I just walked a little bit too
far away. We heard hats off and that's it.
Yeah, hats off. Back of the back of the DM room
talking kind of things like one of my ideas for these side shots
was always like because I, I've opened it up for it could be on
tariff or it could be another planet, right, Like you have
with Ella Moore. And it's just, it's just like
the idea that that's how we're shifting planets as opposed to
like how Matt has the idea of like actually putting characters
from other campaigns into these campaigns, which I, I don't I
don't mind either. But I'm my idea was always kind
of like if, if and when we have enough people to like switch off
DM ING and such like that, like we're just transporting from
world to world, like from obviously or somewhat organized
fashion from our side of things. But like from a player's
perspective, it's just like switching from different
characters perspectives of these different worlds.
And that's why I've always open it open, open it up with like,
welcome to the infinite sea kind of deal.
Like there's infinite amount of worlds.
Yeah, yeah, that's OK. So wait, yeah, that's what the
funny part is like for Jacob when we when we when we rebuilt,
like not really rebuilt, but like kind of like constituted
our cosmology and like the beginning story how my world
sees the rest of the world, like the rest of the multiverse is
literally you are a fragment of a mirror reflection throughout
the cosmos, especially the mirror reflections of several
different points of time that could have all went differently
throughout the entire multiverse, right.
And that's how our outlook to the like different worlds and
different places that exist. That's how our world building
has kind of built for us. So going from like 1 area to
another, it's just for them, it's just we're on our world
just in a different sidestep of it.
And that's how the mythology for our world works.
So I have to admit I just, I didn't know that Kellador was on
a different planet or was a different planet.
It is. Yeah, OK, because the Kellador
clan, there's also I thought Grand Am was a part of.
Grand so so that myth that mythos that that particular
mythos. So that is dealing with Grand am
Kellador, but this is a grand am Kellador that look too close to
chaos and was pulled back by the God of madness himself because
he saw beyond the mirror is what we is, is it's it's basically
our our, our nod to CS, not CS to Alice in Wonderland.
You know, through the looking through the looking glass.
And that's where the, you know, the kind of the thought process
of the multiverse for us kind of, you know, comes from is
through the looking glass. OK, so the. 2 grand dams are the
different versions of each other or are they actually related in
the same reality? They are, they are, they are
related in the same reality. But there's also the Grand dams
of what we call the Grand Dam Council.
And they are the different Grand Dams that somehow found each
other through the multiverse and established the Grand Dam
Council. And they go around the
multiverse helping people or causing chaos, whichever version
of them that you get. Because you can get good evil.
Chaotic, not chaotic. So the grand am in our good
campaign, he's one of the people on that committee.
Yep, he is one of the Grand Am's.
He's not the Grand Am, he's one of the Grand Am's.
OK. And how did he get from this
planet, from the planet that we're heisting on?
To you OK, question for tariff? Oh, how do you get the tariff?
Yeah, that's a I'll, I'll let that be a Jacob answered
question because I know the mythos of how the the the Grand
Am's walk across the multiverse, but how he ended up particularly
in tariff, I will leave that to him.
Yep. OK, I'm asking because I'm
trying to now figure out how my characters that know each other
on different planets. I'm trying to make that make
sense. So yeah, so how I have
officially established some of my stuff and I don't know how
Josh is established is in my world.
They just now they just maybe like 2, like 2 campaigns back,
they opened the gateway to the Astral Sea, which for me, you
know, is the gateway to other worlds within the universe, not
the multiverse, just the universe, yes.
So that's the table. Yes, that's the table.
So yeah, the table, The table in my case is in the Astral Sea per
D&D lore, but what I've been calling the infinite Sea, and it
is potential, a potential gateway.
There are many potential gateways, but most of them are
unlock on tariff. But there are always, there's a
where, where there's a will, there's always a way.
But I would, I would say for tariff, it's it's mostly on, on
lock right now. But I think things are going to
change very shortly because of the situations that are
transpiring on the planet. OK.
Because Josh, you know how I was trying to figure out where Nimoy
is even from. And OK, so for other people's
knowledge, Nimway has really strong ties to her home.
And if she physically could get back, she would then banned in
the campaign and go back home. So I'm trying to make it make
sense about why she's not doing that.
And the only thing I can think of is that she physically cannot
get back. We'll see.
Nimoy, Nimoy, Nimoy the that's the air Janossi, correct?
No, the Air Janasi is agonon he. Is in a campaign.
Oh yeah. Nimaway is, I forget the name of
her race. Good night, Good night.
Nimaway is an Elegron. Oh, and OK, Neladron.
OK, OK, she's a queen. Seasonal elves.
The seasonal elves. Oh, that's easy.
That's an easy answer to why you can't get back time.
Why? Because.
OK, so how canonically with how so the Fae Wilds?
Well, again, it's all no. Sir, her home is not in the Fae
Wilds. Yeah, well, she is Queen.
Of an elf Kingdom. Yeah.
So the different Aladrin's, they kind of like they in, in some
tellings, they move with the season.
So they fade, they phase out basically.
So they're in the material world long enough for that particular
season. So people see them in those
seasons. This is how I explained it in my
world. And if they leave out, if they
leave beyond the, you know, basically the the part of the
fave realm that came into the material world for that season
period. If they leave beyond it and they
don't get back before the season changes, they're trapped until
the season comes back again. That's how I explain it.
That's that's how I explain it. In my world, Josh, I would have
to, you know, divulge on how, like, you know, how you would go
with it for how Tareth and the Faye realm all exist to each
other. So home is not the Faye realm
for her. She's never actually been to the
Faye realm. Oh my goodness, that poor she
was. Born in the She was born in the
in like the normal world. Oh.
And Ray's passing as an elf. Oh.
OK here if you go to my character sheet there's like a
in depth like multi paragraph description of her back story I
remember. Do you have access to my
character? I think.
Should be able to see it on DMD beyond right?
Yeah, Yep. Yeah, but my question, even
after having read that is, is she aware that she isn't an elf?
Yes. It was like a a a poorly kept
family secret. And when like was she adopted or
was or are her parents not elves as well?
That's the thing that I wasn't sure of, I think, if I remember.
So I don't really know how the genealogy works.
I would prefer her to be full elf.
I'm sorry. Full Elodron?
Her father was full Elodron. Her mother I guess would be an
elf, but I don't know if that if I can argue that she's full
Elodrin then because there is no like half elf half elodrin race,
you know. Oh.
No, no, Eladrin and elves are OK canonically they're the the
same. It's just the eladrin elves or
if you know, if you actually take them by their actual like
elvish titlings for like, you know, spring, summer, fall and
winter. There's different words for
those two, but they're the prime, prime elves if you think
about it, because they're the ones more attuned to the elvish
world than elves are. Because all elves were Eladron.
But after they after some of them, you know, made Lassander
really mad and followed some of them followed the loth and all
that stuff he said, you know what, screw you guys material
and he kicked them out. Well, some he let stay the ones
that were most loyal. And those are the ones that you
know, are the Aladrin because they, you know, the Fay wild
powers work, work through them because of the element, but
because of the seasons, right? And then the high elves and wood
elves and the drow and you know, the elves of the material plane,
they're normally there. They are the exiled elves.
OK, so basically her her mom cheated.
She like had a little jaunt. Yeah, she had a little jaunt in
the Fay wild and cheated on the Nimway's dad.
It was a loveless marriage. She eventually came back head
Nimway and they raised her as heir basically even though she
was a bastard because there was no one.
And she never met her her. She never met her father.
Sperm donor, yeah, No, I wouldn't.
I can't. I would say perhaps it was a
trick played on on her by her her father and she may even know
of it like him explaining the whole thing.
But because being in the Faye wild.
So that's going all back to your original question to some
degree. Rick of the Faye wild.
The Faye Wild is one of the upper realms in at least from
from my under my world as in like 1 of the realms of heaven.
Yeah. Because the the Faye Faye wild
in the in the lore that I understand for what represents
the Faye wild is actually based off of like the Irish and
Scottish version of heaven, which is OK.
Everything is youthful. Everybody is never ages there
basically, and it's all they have all seasons at all times,
just depending upon where you are in the realm kind of deal.
So very, very, very heavenly place.
I can't view I can't view the the character sheet.
This sad. I can see that Yeah, I can see
it, but I can't see the actual. They won't let me look at the
actual sheet and stuff all. Right, the message is too long
to copy and paste in the message, so I have to copy and
paste it in two segments. Oh, that's fine.
Just a second. No.
OK, I'll split it here. Woo.
I made it on to Step 4 of this insanely complex Lego puzzle.
Oh snap son, oh snap. There's the first half, this is
the second-half. Sweet.
I like reading stories that make me happy.
That would be that would be my suggestion.
You don't have to do what I say, but that that would be my
suggestion is like. Sorry, can you repeat it?
Yeah. Is that like your sperm donor
father from the Fay Wilds that that when she had the jaunt
found out about you and is in Faye Wilde tradition playing a
trick on you to figure but. The the gods are the ones that
took me to the table and brought me into that world.
And I. Just and took me away from my
family. The Faye Wilds are kind of like
a heaven. So your dad is a is a is a is
some sort of God of some sort like.
But like, if she if it's still on the same planet, she would
like if she could physically get back home.
She knows like what's what's stopping her?
Well, that's what I would. I figured I I was kind of jump
jumping conclusions there because I think we were talking
that it was a different planet that you were on potentially.
So that's what what I was suggesting is like your Kingdom
is on a on different planet because but the other.
Thing. That.
I thought about was like you learn about your kingdom's
downfall after you left and the imprisonment of your son and how
the, the PNC and the rest of the, the, the forces that are
being in the world, the neophytes.
There's, there's a, there's a big upheaval in the rest of the
world for you guys that is happening all around you.
Then maybe maybe. There is.
In the rest of the world. Because no, I'm not.
I'm not going to write in a sad story for the Sun.
Yeah. No, no, that's fine.
Absolutely fine. That was just.
One of the. Things that the other thought I
had. If you have any other thoughts,
I'm always open to them. I'm just working off a stream of
conscious here. So I also have to figure out how
Amico is also in this world and how if Nimaway is in a different
world than her home world and her home world is not Elamore,
then how did Amico get to Elamore?
Mm hmm. Good question.
So in Ellamorian lore most of well what humans call what the
human culture in my world dub as the beast, the beast folk or
basically any person that is not you know, humanoid, humanoid
y'all are the the remnant of the Faye, the remnant of the fate
the basically the ending of the Faye.
So in my world, the when the original Lord of the Faye went
mad, he tried to because of there was an invasion of demons,
devils that came to the world and he kind of went a little
batshit crazy because you know, they were massacring on mass
scale. So he lost his stuff and then he
tried to scorch the world itself and he was stopped.
His wife, the lady of the Fae who becomes the new goddess of
the Fae lands. She then basically pulls the Fay
lands except for one specific area.
All entryways and exit ways from the Fay lands from the material
plane except for a few random like incursion areas.
Basically little little breaks between the material plane and
the Fay realm. And that's where.
And well, that's why most beasts can to the humans.
Are still on the material plane but also yeah that that's that's
my telling of how that happens and how most non human well
human creatures are for my world which nekomata are that are
there that weird zone of they can look and be human, but also
they're not human they are fae and.
What are they again? The nekomata, the kitsune, they
are fae in my world. They're not humanoid, they're
fae. But.
The Neko Nekomata, what do they look like?
Those are the cat people. Those are the cat people.
Got it. OK, yeah.
So. Sorry, go.
Ahead. Oh, Oh yeah, they are.
They are all considered fae because from my world, that's
where they all begin. Uh huh.
So I guess it would make sense to mention here how my
characters all know each other. I I wanted to incorporate it
organically for the rest of the crew, but because we're world
building and like talking about mechanics here.
I mean, you know, a grand dam. So yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's as I always say, you know, Grand am Nuff said.
So if I'm not expecting you to have time to have read Nimoy's
back story yet, but you'll read about Agnon in her back story
and that he was kind of like a curiosity kept around by her
family. Emiko was also one of them, but
she's been around a lot longer. She's basically been like a
prisoner of their house. I see.
But not still treated well. But not necessarily physically
detained, more like psychologically detained.
OK, OK. So she's never met.
She doesn't really know much about what she even is.
She knows what a kitsune is, but only because of what people that
don't really know what they're talking about have told her and
what she is maybe found in a book or two.
Yeah, this, this thing, what's happening right now is her first
time out of her. The like the castle environment
that she spent her what, like 300 plus years in.
How old is she? Let me go back.
On the old side, you put her on the old side.
Well, not OK. Old as in human old, Not old as
in kitsune old. I wanted to say 32 because you
have 3 tails. I thought I.
Have 5 tails. Oh my bad.
Oh, sorry. She's 428 years old, so she's
been a part of this family for so long.
She doesn't know anything else and didn't really have like the
concept of leaving was just not even the in the realm of
possibilities for her. And that's why she's kind of a
little juvenile and naive because she's never been out in
the world. Similar to Nemoya, they had
Bryna Maura was not really allowed out.
They kind of kept a tight leash on everyone in the house.
Could be a situation then where I make?
I don't know. My brain just starts on tangents
but. My first.
My first thought was that like, could be that she and the Co
found, you know, mention of Numa Way's father and sort of some
summoned him and made a deal with him.
I like that. And she accidentally kind of
started this whole thing in motion.
Yeah. OK.
And then something also occurred to me that the same thing
happened to Agnon. And so even though the father is
kind of playing this trick, it's actually a little bit kind
because he's putting the two of them like he's forcing their
paths together. Right.
So it's a it's a trick, but it's
also meant to be helpful just in a kind of mischievous way.
Yes, this is decided. Thank you.
Good session. All good.
Mm hmm. Because in the in the back
story, you'll see that her and Agonon were kind of forced apart
by life and we're probably never going to see each other again.
But then the events of the two, the good and evil campaign, are
kind of forcing them back together.
It's like you will be together. Love will prevail.
I will suffer. We'll see.
Physically, they will be in each other's presence again.
Eventually, yeah. Yeah.
It might be a little weird to like, act it out between
characters myself, I don't know if I can do that.
Oh, you're going to have to learn.
You're going. To learn.
That day, because that's that's one of the the trippy things
that definitely happens to pull the cover off of eurythmic
capacity a little bit. So that's that's that's one of
the things that happens. I'm going to have to start
writing some dialogue. Or at least.
Like self, the actions. This is self.
This is self talking to self. Yeah.
'Cause like, I know how I want the conversations to go and the
general like attitude that they're going to have toward
each other. I just am bad at actually making
the words happen. I never expect or never never
know exactly how they're going to go.
Some people like a lot. A lot of them hate each hate
themselves apparently because they just they meet each meet
themselves their different selves and are very violent.
Oh. Yeah, I was like, oh, OK, that's
how that's going to go. Interesting.
It's kind of like the old conundrum of like you meet your,
your, your, you meet yourself in a room, whether it's a clone or
you know, whatever, but it's it's you.
You guys know that you're you're each other.
You have all the same kind of memories and thoughts and
everything like that. And like you fight, you fuck.
What do you do? We dance with shoes.
We we go home happy. Yeah, as very few people have
chose that option, surprisingly. I wouldn't say my characters
hate each other. The Agonauta and In the Way
might be a little snarky, but they don't hate each other.
Well, we'll guess we'll find out.
You like it again? I hate you.
So obviously we have to write in
turmoil and struggle into our characters stories or else why
would they be going out and doing the dangerous things that
they're doing or in the situations that they're in
whiles like we have to make them interesting, but in doing so we
hurt them. So do anyone's characters like
them? All of the characters for the
most part, disdain the their creators for the most part.
Like I said, like I'm saying, that's probably why a lot of the
violence happens, if if I'm being honest, and I'm and I'm
remembering exactly how this all unfolds.
But there's a lot of alcohol usually involved too.
But any of the the the there, there are a couple that, you
know, actually like their other cells.
So because they're like, I understand, you know, but.
Yeah, Agonon might not like me for what I did to him.
A little nervous about that one. Oh yeah, that reminds me if you
if you haven't, if you haven't started thinking about but I
think I may have mentioned it one point, but it you'll want to
make yourself as a character like AD and D character.
I have mentioned that then, so you'll you're you're probably
already thinking towards like what you would be as.
Yeah. Do we do a spread for that
instead of a role? Whichever, because roles can be
super Opie or super under. Like I feel like the role might
not match how you actually are as a person, but doing a spread
at least levels the playing field.
I I personally when I build my characters usually use the
spread because it's I I I I understand how this character
would want to be played kind of thing and I would really much
hate for my muscly combat driven hippo to be really smart but not
strong at all. Which Oh no sorry, I meant like
a spread that you choose where things go because if like if you
roll you could get like a freakishly opie roll or you get
a freakishly shitty roll. Oh, those still.
You still get to usually choose which one does go into though,
so. Yeah, but if the total points
are really high or really low, then it might not reflect your
actual abilities as a human, you know what I'm saying?
Somewhat because there's usually the base stats, right?
And then you've got to add, add those to to those rolls to those
to the stats to some degree. Like there's like you can't go
under, you can't have like a AA1 stat and anything.
I sometimes feel like I, I deserve A1, you know?
I love playing super dexterous characters in real life.
I am not, not at all. Even though I wish I was.
Because like, who I wish I was and who I actually am are not
the same. You know what I mean?
Oh yeah, why we play our games. Exactly.
So I can feel like I'm the person I want to be for a little
bit. Yeah, for a little bit.
I'd be curious to know what people think my highest stat
would be. I'm going.
I wish. I'm going intelligence.
Same. That's what I would lean towards
as well. I was basically Hermione in
school. Let's see if you were to.
Let's see if you were to ask Jacob about me.
Hold on strength. If you were to ask everybody
what my dump stat was, Wisdom. I don't, yeah.
I honestly don't know what people would say about me.
I have no freaking clue. I'm trying to decide right now
and Josh, I'm not actually sure. It's either Matt, I'm Matt, I'm
going charisma. Matt, I'm going charisma.
Yes, that is charisma. Let's see, Josh, I'm actually.
Dexterity. Is.
My I'm good or my? No, no, you're either Dexterity
or either Intelligence or Wisdom.
But like the two of them are such a like overlap that I don't
know. Perfect, because that's how
actually I end up. I actually ended up playing a
lot of my characters when I was younger.
My my, my friends hated it. But I would always, I would
always put. They'd be like, why?
Aren't you maxing out any of your stats?
And like, I just want to put them all the even, you know,
just make them all even. I want to feel like this is what
I said it is. So Josh, if I were making a
character of you, I would put Dex as the highest intelligence
and Wisdom as the two second highest Tide, next, Charisma,
and then I don't know about Strength or Constitution.
Whatever you want for those, that's the spirit.
I would do that. Makes sense?
I'm going to go, I'm going to go Charisma is your prime.
And I will say. I say wisdom, be your dump.
OK. 'Cause I can't say constitution,
'cause you're a man of the drink.
So I know you got you got a little bit of constitution on
you. Oh yeah.
So you know, and you're doing some lifting and movement, so
you know your strength is not low.
No, I didn't even think about how Constitution ties into
drinking. Oh no.
Yeah. Yeah, pretty even spread.
That's how I try to try to roll it, at least.
I actually, I, to be honest, I, I haven't made, I think I did
make a character for myself at one point.
It's been so long though, because I haven't, I haven't
played it or had a need to really, because because I put
everybody else through this task.
So I was like, I should do it for myself.
Yeah, I was. What happens when you summon God
to the plane? What is God step lock?
I I'm an artifice or cleric monk if that gives you any any idea
of. I I can I can dig, I can, I can
dig on the monk. I can dig on the cleric like
artificer and artificer and monk.
I get cleric and then not pulling that one.
The cleric is only is only level 1 so I'll give you that and my
monk is at 2 with my. I went to Sunday school.
Yeah, there we go. I went to Sunday School.
Bam. Nailed it.
No, honest, honestly, my thought process there was literally just
that I've spent so much time in, in the the, the building of of
gods and and the the focus of the campaign being being that.
But also I have an odd amount of knowledge when it comes to like
religion only because I didn't grow up with it.
That was like one of those things of like, what are what is
that thing I need to learn about that because everybody else
keeps talking about it and I don't understand it at all.
What is it? Became an interest.
Yeah, pretty much. And it's led me towards more
than most of the the Eastern ideas, ideological thoughts,
which is is my basis for for the cleric at least, where it's like
more Buddhist than and and like Confucius and oh, Tao, Tao or
Tao, however you say it, Taoism, that's how you say it, which are
all Eastern ways of life, not actually religion is how they
look at it too. Yep.
But yeah, fun fact. I don't know what class I would
be because I was thinking about my spread and I don't know if it
lines up with anyone. We'll see.
I'll have to think is so in real life.
Help me understand how to apply because like constitution is
health in D&D but I'm trying to figure out how to apply these to
actual people in real life. When I think of a person in real
life with high constitution, I think of like a strong bigger
character that can take more hits because I equated to
health. But you guys brought up a valid
point of like drinking or what else would this be associated
with in real life? Concentration.
Well, that would be more like a wisdom slash intelligence when
you're saying like concentration.
But I think what you mean you mean is like endurance, Rick is
maybe what you. Yeah, well, well, endurance, but
also old D&D, your con was also used to keep your concentration
on your spells. Yeah, yeah.
That's your gosh, your focus, because the more and more damage
you take, how easy is it? How easy is it for you to keep
concentration if your health is going down?
OK. So this also be like resilience
in adversity. Pretty much, yeah.
Like that, OK. Khan is Khan is like, OK, I'm
not going to say that they, you know, simplified it too much,
which I feel they did. But they, you know, there was a
lot of things that, you know, is like Khan used to have a lot of
versatility to it and they just kind of like summarized it in my
opinion. Understandably, because it, it
kind of, it kind of ends up for some of those at least it kind
of takes away from like the intelligence and wisdom because
I think that's what you need now to roll.
If you were like holding your concentration on a spell, it
could it's whichever 1 is your like based at for spell casting,
which for druids is usually wisdom for like a wizard or it's
intelligence I believe. And it it it varies.
But yeah, for that reason, I ended up dumping my charisma is
my low stat. But I don't know if that's
actually as true as it could be. But I I just had no other choice
because I was like, I already put some in in dexterity or put
some in Constitution. Intelligence and wisdom I got to
dump. One of these.
All right, well, I am going to jump off here for the night.
Yes, I I am needing to get myself to some food so I will
talk to y'all laters. Night.
OK, nice. Bye bye.
