Hello Fair listener. Welcome and thank you for
following our journey on metagaming Byron, propelled
gaming, fair warning. Sometimes we are not safe for
work and others not safe. For real life Journey forth at
your own risk, what? And you poke it and it seems
like a very nice oil painting. Oh crap.
Are there any evident doors from where?
Yes, so Oh, this right at the bottom there's two very large
doors. Had to move my name tag.
It was like right over it. It's do it.
That should have Kira. Anyways is just kind of like,
fuddled looking around at the space trying to get their
bearings. It seems like and then Just out
of habit. Seems to try and goes to the
highest point in the room and climbs up on top of the
bookshelf. Just looking through the books
as they go I guess and Trying to see what kind of person person
this place might hold with the titles that are on those books
may be okay. So As You Are.
Climbing up, you see, a couple books in like different
languages, like the titles. you see a couple that you can read
that you recognize as being written in Sylvan things like
native flora and fauna and another one that says, like
something along the lines of compendium of beasts and another
one that says, Something. Along the lines of an Explorer
Guide to the FAE Wild. Just a lot of books about the
area that you are in our, you believe, you are in Okay.
Seems like there's might be somebody here.
Just a relay that sort of information and then I add to
the group saying, it seems like we've stumbled into a room.
That's somebody else's. Come from art world, that is
unfamiliar with the FAE wild, otherwise, they would probably
know all this stuff. Hi.
Seems that way unless they're a scholar and we're Gathering
knowledge. Silly Scholars, hoarding
knowledge. Hiding it Mmm.
Preserving it. Yeah.
Like Gathering. Let's see.
What is everybody's like Renshaw's with us too.
But yeah. Yeah, well I think we all know I
was thinking balcombe for a second.
I got to get used to the names. Yeah, the names are weird.
I'm gonna look around and see if there's anything shiny.
Well this other stuff was going on.
What's everybody's passive perception?
14. Damn 18:13.
I'm very observant chicken. Okay.
So cat and, Just cat as you are. You guys are all kind of talking
about these books and poking around looking around. you hear
maybe like a humming or whistling coming from the other
side of the doors. I'm going to hop down and it's
two doors, right? Like two doors.
Like two large horse that look like they.
Yeah, like swing open. Yeah.
Is there any Gap in between them or under on the bottom that I
could maybe peek through? There is a small Gap along the
bottom that you could peek through, it's not very large,
but you could, you could peek through your, I want to try to
peek through the Gap, okay? Um, So, you kind of smash your
like face down onto the floor. and you're kind of trying to
like peek through, roll me a I guess, mmm.
I guess I would be an investigation track with this
advantage or anything. Um, no. 15.
Okay, so you're looking through it's kind of hard to make out I
did. Oh yeah, you did you roll them
in sight? Seventeen.
Okay, so you're peeking through. You can tell that it is a not
quite dimly-lit but not bright room.
You see from your perspective, a lot of legs for like furniture,
Not 100% short. Really?
What like Furniture cuz you're kind of just seeing the legs.
You can tell by like the with and stuff of the legs.
Maybe some are like thinner for like candle like stands and like
maybe some like small tables and then some may be a little bit
larger for like chairs and like bigger tables.
And you can also make out. like some Shadows on the ground and
then at the very, very back of the room, you do kind of see,
maybe some Shadows moving about. It doesn't look like there's a
lot of people or anything in that room.
And you can also tell from looking around that it is kind
of a like long narrow ish room not quite as like narrow as this
room. It does look like it opens up a
little bit but not like too much wider.
Okay. so and you do family, see some like bookshelves lining the
walls. Okay, so I'm assuming that I
even though I am, small, am laying on the ground looking
underneath the door? Yeah, does anybody notice me
doing this? I'd say we.
So is the room, actually this tiny, it looks very tall.
It's not big, okay? Yeah, I would, I would say they
were probably all looking at you then?
Yeah. I am going to like, conclude my
investigation for the moment and turn back and relay.
All of the information that I have just gained to my comrades
here about what I could perceive from the room Beyond.
And then after saying, all of that, I'm going to say, I'm
going to have a closer look and I want it.
I want to use far step to put myself underneath one of the
pieces. Has of furniture.
Let me see what as far. Step do bar step.
You teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space.
You can see on each of your turns, before the spell ends,
you can use a bonus action to teleport in this way again.
Concert its concentration and verbal.
Okay. Wow.
Okay, so if you're looking through the door, okay, if I
paying into the darkness, can you guys see it?
Like, if I ping right here, can you see that?
Yeah, okay so you see What looks to be a pedestal of some sort
right here. Hmm.
You see a couple legs right here, that look a little bit
decorative right here. You see just for basic wooden
legs right here. You see maybe another pedestal
Right here, you see some like, smaller legs.
There's three just passed that you do.
See a couple legs here, that look pretty basic, some more
basic legs right here. Some legs that maybe look like
they belong to like a small end table right here.
Some more right here. Persons garniture.
I kind of want to teleport to the decorative legs because I'm
going to write here. The decorative legs are kind of
a couch or a chair of some sort. Okay.
So you want to teleport to like right here?
Yes. All right.
I don't know how that's about. Do you have to like, how does
that work? Like, do you?
Verbal. Semantics.
Do you go for it? It's verbal.
Can you send it to the thing? How do I should click on?
If you've got the spell, you under cast is a display in VT.
As long as you're beyond 20s working, which I know you have
trouble with sometimes, it's so far beyond 20s been working, but
the spell is not showing up for me.
When I go to my manage files is not in my list, and I was like,
oh, did I forget to add this? And then when I go to search for
far step, it's not in any list. And I'm like, is far step, not
part of D&D anymore. Did I miss this?
But then when I went to the, like, DND Wiki, it's right
there. Oh, is it?
Is it I think I remember having this conversation with cat with
you for cat anyways and when he'd gotten that spell, which
was like a provincial point in in his past of it was like
attached to a book and you might have the book in your inventory
and I think I may put the spell in that book.
Okay. Yeah, because I do have cats
spell book or cat's first scroll.
Well, I think why it's not showing up Jess is because it's
from Zen authors Guide to Everything.
So, if you don't have that book on D&D Beyond it won't show up
for you to add it to your character.
Okay. Yeah.
I don't have that book. Oh, and I do so whenever and I
turned sharing on for mine so that would been why?
It's probably not showing up now.
Okay. So am I still allowed to use
this then? Yes, absolutely.
Um, so it's verbal. So what do you how do you cast
this? I turned everyone, explain what
I saw in the room. Be like, I'm gonna go in for a
closer look without opening the door.
And, and I'm just going to turn and very slight silently.
I got just a little. Okay, so you do that.
Let me move you. To here.
And oh, God. Where'd she go?
Oh no, I can't. Can I reveal areas just for one
player? Yeah.
If it's inside this, if it's inside the same area and you're
in in it and you just move them over there, Then they should be
able to see like cats. So it's on the same map.
So if she, so if I turn if I like create a square of light,
So, if you're creating squares of like of light, so I don't
know how to, I don't know how else to do Dynamic lighting.
Yeah, I know what you're saying. I have to look at what you're
talking about that because I don't usually work that way.
I usually create the walls like you were talking about a while
ago. Yeah, because I'm using fog of
War. Yep.
I'm just gonna have to launch. Mind and see what the buttons
are. So that I can talk intelligently
about it because I know what you're talking about.
I just haven't used that method actually here, let me just do
this. if I, Do this? Well, that's weird.
Do you guys see that? Yes, yeah, okay well I'll
pretend you don't bother for guys, you don't see it. hold on,
you could always What we're talking about to in the dynamic
lighting layer, just click on that and and go to polyline
under the draw command. And then you can just draw a
line on the dynamic lighting layer and it should already be
selected to wall in regular and we won't be able to see through
that or move through it just FYI.
See, I don't have Dynamic lighting as a lair. yeah, it
just Math and background objects and token, and then GM info
overlay. No Dynamic lighting.
You might not have Dynamic lighting turned on.
If you go into the map settings up at the top, where your pages
Pages, you have to go to Dynamic lighting and turn it on.
It's a it's a whore is on. Do you have it be right next to
page of page details, actually right at the top when you go to
the page settings, I don't have that tab.
Maybe do you have like, the like fancy version of this?
I mean, I do have a subscription, I don't know.
Okay? That might be a subscription
feature. I'm wondering might be then It's
fine. All right, cat.
You teleported into this room, okay?
When you see that you are under a globe, All right, so I'm
hunkered down pretty low. And you do see if you're look,
I'm assuming you're looking around getting a better feel for
this room. Mmm.
And you do see like the pedestals that you were saying
are, in fact, like here and here are just large pedestals with
like a candelabra on top. There's a lot of like armchair
spread out some tables, like end tables, the bookshelves and then
down here, You do see a larger oval table, a couch and a woman,
just walking around humming whistling to herself.
Looks like she's like looking grabbing some materials off the
bookshelves putting it onto the table.
Looks like she's getting ready to like do some research on
something. Okay.
This is not Fitzpatrick. I'm guessing because I don't
know, they said, I, we would know them when we saw them, they
didn't really give us a good descriptor.
Okay, I want to go back into the little room and I'm going to
mmm. I didn't go very far.
Correct. How much is?
This is 5 10? 15 feet.
Yeah. Just about.
Okay, so I'm 15 feet away from these double doors shoved
underneath of a giant Globe. Hmm.
So I have far step as a Oh my goodness.
What is it? The spell that you can cast all
the time? I can't hear ya.
Am I allowed to use it as a can trip in this campaign as well?
Yeah. All right.
So I'm going to take in the room.
All of its details and the woman, can I see her face very
well at all and make out any characteristics.
He's about 40. Ish feet away from you.
I don't know how good our chickens eyesight remind me, is
that good? I mean, you're a magical chicken
but like, Yes. And what I have people I say
their chicken eyesight probably chicken eyesight because chicken
everything else except for my wizardly Powers.
Yeah so I would say You can get like vague details like if you
release Quinton kinda like lean forward and try and get as good,
a look, as you can. So chickens can see a lot more
colors than humans can apparently interesting.
Yeah, they have four types of cones that let them see, red,
blue, green light, as well as ultraviolet light.
Therefore they can see many more colors and shades.
Then we do well damn. Um well squinting and looking at
her, you can kind of make out a figure.
She looks very petite with lovely green, like dress robes
on and some red hair. Kind of just messily tied up
onto her head. But you can't really make it a
lot of like facial features or anything like that.
Okay. Also, while you were saying all
that, I just realized that I probably can't use far step
because I have to be able to see the spot that I want to
transport to. And I could see the spot
underneath the glove, but I can't see through the doors.
Mhm, although I see under the doors like you said, I can But
see I threw the doors, might be the chance.
I'm gonna cast Mage hand. How far does mei-chan work?
I'm gonna cast mate, and a spectral floating hand.
One minute, 30 feet. So where is that?
10 15 20, 25, 30. Okay, so right here.
Wait, click right here. I'm going to use Mage hand to
kind of just like knock some books off the shelf just like a
couple of books. And I don't have to cast
anything verbal, semantics, and what are you here?
It just very again, as quietly as I can just As quietly as I
can. And I cast my chain to pull a
couple of books off the shelf right here, 30 feet away, right
next to this candelabra on the left-hand wall, okay, That's
major. Oh yeah.
Spectral floating hand. So like you could make me a
stealth check. Oh okay.
Seventeen. Okay?
So you're kind of watching this lady and like, right as she kind
of turns to like go towards this other book shelf here, and
you're like, all right, that's my opportunity.
And then you kind of just fuck and the Hand reaches out and
smacks a couple books down and you see her just Kind of like
you hear her sigh and like mutter something and then she
like whips around and like walks over here, and starts like kind
of looking around and you see her pickup selector, she's a
piece of furniture now. Apparently, I put her on.
I put her on the wrong layer. That's why she gets over here
and you see her like picking up these books and kind of like
looking them over and making her head and putting them back up
while she's doing that. I'm going to try as stealthily
as I can. While keeping the globe in
between me and her, go back to the door, peek underneath him to
see the proof Beyond And Tel Aviv myself back into the room.
All right, you want me to roll another stuff?
No. Okay.
You but knew back in. Oh everybody else you guys saw
just you see cat just disappear and then reappear.
Yeah because that took all of what like 30 seconds.
Yeah. Not not very long.
I catch back. I turned everyone.
I'm like there's somebody else on the other side of the door.
Friendly. I don't know, I didn't engage
them or talk to them or get their notice.
It's a woman in a green dress, with red hair organizing books,
Actually sounds friendly. I go for the door and yell after
you knock. Hey hello, you knock on it?
Yeah. Okay.
I want to I want to hear this knock.
Oh yeah, I tried I tried to make it but it I don't know that came
through but yeah, I don't think it cut out.
Oh, oh wait. No that doesn't work.
Either it popped up for a second.
Yeah, I was trying to knock on the wood that's that.
My my desk is here, too, and I was doing, but I was doing it
first. I just did like a regular knock
but then I was like, really thinking about it.
I was like, yeah, this is, this is my character and just took up
both of their little tiny squirrel hands and just pounded
on the door, like both of them, which I'm sure still sounded
like The smallest of spending is this like scratching upon the
door and so important is that they do you just knock once or
are you just sitting there just pounding away pounding away,
okay? So you're pounding away and as
you're knocking the door, swing open.
Inward. It would be outward from you.
Okay that's good. And you see a woman standing
there? It's nice to meet you.
My name is it okay era Caleb's dad not too much not any bigger
than like blind Renshaw size? So what is that?
Like, three feet. Because everybody got kind of
got like, shrunk ish so that we're all proportional with this
slightly smaller place. Yes, yeah, Ranchos 3 feet.
Yeah. Maybe a little cheese closer to
like three and a half but like not not much taller than wrench.
All I know about the same size as I am standing on this
recliner watching this altercation or interaction at
the door and educator is just rattling off like non-stop just
Word vomit and she's just standing there and she kinda
like tilts her. Head has a really puzzled look
on her face. And it, like, it kind of, like
she takes everybody in, and it's just completely confused.
And she, like, goes to say something.
And then like, locks eyes with the painting and liked her face
relaxes, and she puts her head back up and kind of like nods to
herself and it's like, oh, right?
I forgot to close that door and then like she just kind of
shakes her head and is like alright well you might as well
come on in. Do you know where Fitzpatrick's
is that rat bastard? and she kind of a little bit
puzzled and goes, um, I don't believe I know of any rat named
Fitzpatrick. Well, we might have gone and
taken a wrong turn. We were headed towards him.
But I guess we could come in. Do you have food Scamper off and
the last? She's like, no, I'm no food.
This is just my study. I hop off the chair and just go
but good luck and follow the squirrel.
Yes, I turned and kind of walk towards this way and like, kind
of motions to the like chairs around.
She's like, feel free to have a seat.
Okay, then you'll bring up some food.
I like nuts and then she Sighs and she's like, I don't I don't
have food here. Dear, this is my study Renshaw's
face just like Falls when he hears that there's no food.
All right. That's just like the worst news
that you could ever ever break. And so they just kind of wander
Renshaw wanders into the the study and looks around and asks,
First off Miss, what is your name?
Please? And also have you, do you have
any items that are shiny? She kind of looks at you and
smiles. And she says, well, I'm known as
a lady of knowledge. Um, What is your name?
A lady might met a lady of knowledge Miss.
That's that's all you can give me for a name.
And she kind of Chuckles and walks up to you and is kind of
just like looking you up and down.
And like, does a couple laps around, you looks you up and
down. She kind of like, lifts up your
arm like is like she's like studying and investigating you.
And then she kind of pulls out this small little device holds
it up to her. I it's like a little lens and
she's looking over you and she Sighs and puts it back into like
tucks it back into her. Waistband of her skirt.
And goes, huh? You're not from here.
Are you? Well, where where exactly is
here and run CH are gestures. So the this isn't that this
inspection is not bothered Renshaw doll.
They're just patiently waiting investigating.
The ceiling at the like noticing the the ceiling.
If there's anything cool on there, just waiting for her to
be done and then very nonchalantly will wear where
exactly is here and she smiles. Real big and she's like, well,
the favor realm of course. I don't I don't know how much I
would know about that. I don't know, we're gonna go
ahead and say that I know nothing so I'm feeling.
Okay, no, I don't, I don't believe that I have ever visited
been been so privileged to visit the FEI, FEI Rome, and she nods
and smiles. He goes well in that case.
You may call me Adelina. Adaline.
Adelina. Lovely to make your acquaintance
Adelina. We are, I asked after a shiny
objects. We are looking for a friend's
misplaced jewelry. and she smiles and she says, well,
there's lots of Shiny things in the FAE wild, if you know where
to look. I was so.
So we're looking for very specific items.
Supposedly taken by some fellow named for its Patrick so I don't
have I'm not looking for anything shiny.
There are very specific items that I've been searching of it
like kind of all clicks and you see it kind of Click across her
face and she goes oh a fellow named Fitzpatrick.
Um the cute sweet little squirrel over there said that it
was a rat bastard. So I just Assumed you were
looking for a rat named Fitzpatrick.
I know of a man named Fitzpatrick.
A delightful that is that would be that is that is good to hear.
Might you might you let us know where where Fitzpatrick might be
found and point us in the direction and she smiles and
nods and goes, yes, yes, I can let you know but first I haven't
had the pleasure of being introduced to you all.
And she kind of wanders back over to here to like kind of the
center of the room. And it's like, I've told you all
my name. I haven't had the pleasure of
getting yours. The squirrels asleep in the kofu
Cozy, chair. Harold, ickes, I'll just look up
and you can call me Flint. It's a pleasure to you.
And she smiles and says the pleasure to meet you to Flint.
I just forgotten greeting. She looks at you and does her
best like kind of clears her throat and tries the best she
can to like mimic your b'gok. And just That's our companion
cat. And she nods.
And like looks at you cat and she was a pleasure to meet you
as well cat. I give her an odd without the
gawking or clucking or anything. Renshaw looks over and it's a
little skeptical because this this Adelina just looks too
sweet. And so says, I I so made in go
by Renny and she smiles. And she's like what a lovely
name. Hello Rennie.
And then kind of like motions towards at your Kira and it's
like, and Does the squirrel have a name?
See it breathing softly with its face buried in its and its tail
run. Child's going to pipe up me like
yes, we we call the squirrel, Eddie. and she smiles and his
like, Eddie cute and She kind of has like, so.
It's been so long since I've had visitors.
This is so exciting. And like she kind of like Hans
up onto this chair here, just kind of sits down and it's just
sitting there like looking at you guys.
All Big grin on her face just like yes.
Visitors, nice. Nice people.
So nice. It's a trap.
Yeah. So-so Adelina.
What can you tell us? As we've never been to the favor
on before. Is there, is there anything you
can tell us that? We should know.
Oh, well, it's a lovely place. It really is.
Um, there's just so many beautiful things to see, I don't
know where to begin. Would you would you mind showing
us some of these beautiful things?
Well sure, she goes, I have tons of books on everything you could
possibly think of in the area and she kind of like motions
around her. If these things are in the area
could we could we take a field trip.
So to say hahaha ready is very pleased with themselves.
And she smiles, and kind of gives a chuckle back.
And he says, um, well, I don't I have some very important
research projects, I'm working on right now so I will not be
able to accompany you out there but You can you can you can go
exploring? Yeah.
Oh go ahead. How will we know where to go?
How will we know how to talk to other other fellow fellow?
You know beings that exist in this world?
If we don't have your Ox obvious by looking like gestures to the
books around the room, your obvious expertise and know-how.
I'm Gonna Roll persuasion trying to real hard, to get a bellini
to come with us. Especially you know you know
Fitzpatrick you know the person we were trying to find that's a
dirty pointy she kind of Chuckles when you say that she
knows Fitzpatrick and she Chuckles and she goes well I
know of him. That's, that's so far deal
greater than us. We don't, we have no idea what
this fellow even looks like, And she kind of looks at you.
She's kind of pondering she goes.
How about this? How about?
We play a little game. Do you guys like games?
I very much enjoy games. The squirrel farts, wakes itself
up, her ears perk up at the at the the sound of games though.
In games games. And she kind of like Smiles real
big and like motions to at your Kira and it's like see perfect.
Let's play a game. I know rock paper scissors are
that's Boulder paper. Cheers.
And she smiles goes. Oh yes, that is fun.
However, I was thinking more of a game.
Involving knowledge. Since I am a lady of knowledge.
Well well how how are we going to ensure that this game is fair
because with all these books you obviously will have much more
knowledge than any of us. and she smiles and kind of nods and
goes, well, are you saying you guys are not Intelligent.
Are you guys not? People of knowledge.
Saying more wise than intelligent.
She goes, you solved my riddle to get through my door.
Wait she thought she left the door open?
She meant the portal open. Oh.
Yeah, about that. It was so hard.
Maybe, maybe you can tell us the terms and we could we could
decide whether or not we want to.
Yes. Yes, my dear.
I'm not saying no, I'm just afraid.
It will be very boring for you if we provide no competition at
all in this game. If the I mean you can win hand,
you will likely win handedly. And I don't know if that will be
fun for you when she smiles and nods and goes, okay?
Okay, terms of the game. How about If you win.
I will teleport you. To the entrance to Fitzpatrick's
home. But what if we lose?
And she looks and kind of like Smiles.
Real big and goes well, If you lose.
You grant me one wish. We're not Genie.
And she laughs she goes of course not.
I know that. But this is a wish that could
easily be granted by you Folk. I'm looking around at all of my
companions, very questioningly. This good nuts.
If you want that baby is, he'll call for a huddle in the back of
the room, and she kind of laughs and, like, motions, for you guys
to go to the back. She goes.
Yes, yes, discuss amongst yourselves.
What do you mean wish that we could be getting to you?
Do you, do you have words for this wish that Then that you
think it'd be easy because I have some nuts.
I'd love to share and she smiles.
And she's like, I appreciate your kindness.
I am okay on nuts right now. Okay.
I guess that's not the wish that she means.
I just say awkwardly and go back to the Huddle.
Doesn't want my nuts of wisdom. I guess who doesn't want Binky's
nut You call it a huddle. Blind.
So what does everyone think about it?
Seems like a trap. I have spelled our apps.
My first thought is what's the worst that could happen.
But as soon as soon as I think that other the the answer
becomes immediately obvious well, She did tell us that we
could go back to the river. I mean, if we want to keep
taking our chances with walking down that and she said we could
go back to the river. Well, she said a dead Feet for,
I think it wasn't asked from you read to whether or not we'd go
out to a field something or other.
Forget the word you used but you did, there's something there and
she didn't want to go with us. But she said that, we could go
Hmm. I do have fine traps but I think
that's more of a physical thing less.
So, mental spell. Good point, the open-ended
wishes, kind of concerning what if we counter her offer with a
putting some limits on her wishing?
I mean. We do it.
You have a potential for three wishes.
We could share one. That was what lost her wish is
for us to stay here forever. You know, well I mean that's the
thing like she's asking for what she's either asking for one of
the wishes that we're supposed to get when we find Fitzpatrick
or she's going to ask for something that is I'm gonna
think harmful to all of us or at least one of us.
She seems nice enough. I don't think she would want
wish harm on us but we could clarify that with her And lied,
dude. Want to harm us any Cheat like
kind of looks at you and Chuckles and goes, I never harm
people. You wouldn't wish any harm on us
ever. No, no.
Okay. I see a squirrel.
Yeah, she did say people you got that, right?
We are in the FAE Wilds. I do forget that sometimes What
would you like to do gang? We going to take a chance or we
going to leave? Do we think we even can leave at
this point? Hey Adelaide, do you think we
could leave? Hey, Chuckles and goes.
Well, I've said if you if you play the game, I will teleport
you to write outside Fitzpatrick's home.
But could we just like, you know, go back through the portal
that we came through? That is that the thing you will
let us do. Oh well, I'm sorry.
Dearie but that portal is kind of finicky and it takes a while
to recharge after somebody's come through it.
Well, guess we ain't got no choice.
We guys, I want to roll. Is she telling the truth?
Can I tell if she is lying or being deceptive?
Without even from okay, I did poke the picture and it didn't
do any. It was a picture of just a
picture 17. You get a weird vibe from her,
maybe like she's not. Lying.
But you get the sense that you're not getting the whole
truth from. That's the thing that that I'm
wondering because I'm like she's saying things that she believes
and that she thinks are 100% true but they might be super
fucked up the rest of us. Well, I just I just hop on over
to her real quick just Keep stirring it all the way over.
Yeah, and And she looks at you and and so, like, smiles and
goes. Hello Eddie.
Hi, Adam Adelina. I was wondering confidence and
I'm saying that under my breath, more not under my breath
completely, but enough that they couldn't be overheard.
Are you sure? We could just, you know, walk
back through that, that that portal over there, how to
present like on Dopey guarantee. So, what does zone of Truth?
Oh yeah, I can send you the whole thing here, but I was, I
didn't didn't realize it didn't all come through, but yeah.
So it's a sphere centered on me at this point. and I the hundo p
and I take my My little squirrel hands and kind of clean, both of
my ears like on the either side of them and wash my my eyes and
head a little bit to as the semantic portion of it kind of
like opening my senses and listening in real time.
Real intensely sneaky squirrel. Whoop. it's a 15, by the way, if
you just wanted to Rule is the saving.
One quick second to pull something.
Love. Can you do me a favor?
What'd you get me a drink? I'm pinned down by her majesty.
I can't move. Girl suckle, the Royal milk
later. I just took a drink, sir.
What is this? For whatever reason, I'm not the
only one that likes the diet dice that you guys get.
Got me all the kitty cat likes him too.
I'm looking at. Okay, there goes wasn't playing.
Oh, it's trying to steal it? Yeah, it's shiny.
I must have it. Okay.
That this going to come up as from you, but it's not.
Okay. Okay, you said it's a 15.
But she kind of like looks at you and says, well as I've said
like, it, it does take a while to recharge.
Um, But it should be ready in about half an hour to an hour
and she kind of like looks and she like kind of like looks kind
of disappointed in herself that she gave like that timeframe
away. Okay, and I'm assuming she's
talking out loud or she just talking to me.
Yeah. Do the rest of us hear this?
Um, if we're actively listening. Yeah, if you're actively
listening than, yeah, you would hear.
She doesn't whisper it. I look back at the gang then and
shrub. So wait 30 minutes or play her
game and once. So, once she says that in like
it's like kind of puzzled and then it kind of like clicks on
her face and she just looks at you and smiles.
She goes, you're tricky little squirrel hunt, you I like my
games to like I said could you maybe explain more about this
game that you were talking about?
What are the parameters that you're so when you say I like my
games to she nods and she goes get.
So we started playing then. I don't know about that.
I don't have consent from everyone.
That's not not, not my full decision.
I hop up on the table next to her and I kind of like hunker
down and I say, I cat will play your game, making sure that I've
made it clear that I chose to do this.
Then and she smiles and go so good.
Cat, maybe you're playing. What about you Flint in Renny?
Don't sit on my phone. That's gross.
I'm sorry, blind. Ready?
What's the worst? You got to lose.
We're talking to you. Sorry, he just got back down
here with my drink and your cat came over and jumped up on the
table. And said, I can't will play your
game. And she was like, oh good
Captain. Eddie are going to play.
What about you, flint and runny. I didn't hear any consent from
Eddie. Do you say that out loud?
Like a scat? Yes.
Well if you look at you and go, well it's already started
playing. oh, Eddie started playing games with me, so it's
only fair that I get to play back.
There is fair play. I say with a wink and a nod
that's agreeing. You just agreed.
I did. I will join your game as well.
And she kind of like claps. Excellent one.
Last runny. Will you be playing too?
Right? It's not a size small with it.
I'll play excellent. And she smiles and she goes
question number one. What has 13 Hearts, but no other
organs. I'm sorry.
Can you repeat that? Johnny is slamming shit and I
did not hear your what you said, She said what has 13 Hearts?
But no other organs. Something very ill.
Got you deep? Damn, thanks.
Mmm-hmm. Eddie is scratching their chin
thinking pondering off into the distance.
What has 13 Hearts, but no other organs.
Oh wait, is this like a deck of cards or something?
I'm not saying this out loud. I'm gonna I'm gonna like Mumble
and mutter I guess we should confer then she kind of folds
her hands over her lap and treat like kind of motions to like
your group as a whole. She just brainstorm if you must
What, how many, how many, cards in a deck?
52. Yeah, but divided into four
breaks, there's four suits. 50, that's 13.
Yeah, it's definitely a deck of cards.
Yeah, that makes sense because I don't think a spade is an organ
as far as I know. No definitely not another
Diamond Nora. Well, you're the brilliant mind
who came up with the answer, you present our findings and let's
flee. We have anything to say against
this. So there are 13 hearts in a deck
of cards and we're not talking. Yeah, no, there's not another
30. Never mind.
Sorry for the team, but here for it. he's mute and he's been
talking to Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like it would
be a play. I'm gonna get on my tiptoes and
look over at Elena and be like a deck of cards.
And she smiles and laughs shoes. Excellent.
Correct, you are. And then she kind of like I was
okay, okay. The next question.
Wait a minute. How many questions are there?
And she kind of looks and she goes well, There's four of you.
So for questions, only ask one question to start my game, but
that's well, there's only one of me.
Mmm, exactly. So one question I can rope
especially if you'd like. It's not gonna be very good.
Okay. It's that's that's all right, I
guess. And she kind of nods when you
say, right? So one question, she goes
exactly one question for one of me for questions, for four of
you. Yes, so we get to ask you four
questions. I've asked you one.
You've asked us one, And she kind of like Narrows her eyes at
you and nods and gives okay, okay.
So, you have asked one, who is next?
Hmm, Lady of knowledge people, you know?
Yes, I do want to make it a good question, like a deep.
I just want to ask or what the most dangerous thing and the FAE
wildest I don't know if that'll be useful or not you're just
mulling with us right? Because yeah yeah I'm just
calling Eddie would say well maybe the better question would
be how to defeat them the hardest creature in the FAE wild
or best friend. What is it?
And what's its weakness? Yeah.
I would feel about that. I think that's good question.
Yeah. Adelina, I think not a delayed
right Adelina. Yeah.
Atalanta, what is the most
dangerous? What is the weakness of the most
dangerous creature in the FAE Wild?
she smiles and looks and says, well, Hmm.
and she smiles and says, Well. I would say a weakness. when
maybe be hmm. When it's asleep.
Is that the the ends of she did she stop?
Or she I guess the end of the answer.
Did you cut out know when it's asleep?
Okay, okey-dokey. I guess that wasn't so much of a
game as I'm just trying to get information out of that Elena.
Okay. Okay, that we've got two more
questions for from Flint and Cat.
What is your question at a later?
And she smiles and says, hmm, I never was but always will be no
one ever saw me, but everyone knows I exist.
I give people the motivation to better themselves every day.
What am I? I-i'm, that's what I would say.
Yeah. Because I was thinking, Eric
first time doesn't, yeah, I thought wind until the
motivation to do things that's time.
Yeah. And how I tie madalena?
and she kind of smiles and like looks at you at your Kira and
like, She looks very pleased with herself.
And goes, the answer is tomorrow.
Which is in a roundabout way time, which is a rather a marker
of time. And you see kind of like a wave
of irritation. Like cross her face and she kind
of knobs and goes. Okay, yes.
Yes, you are correct. That's fair.
If you like these are going to get harder guys.
So flitz. You have to have a good good
question for yours. What is?
So I'm gonna Huddle up guys, let's huddle up up up.
I jumped up on the shoulder. My question to her wood.
What is a criminal's best asset? I'm not going to say the answer
because Gap can hear me. We just looked at me like you
guys. You go that one of the other
thing, one of the other channels if you want.
Oh, I mean, you're here. I can hear all move.
I'm okay with questions, I don't need to like approve it.
Well yeah, what I would ask her. What is a criminal's?
Best asset in the answer is his liability.
So you're going like that, if you give up answer, she'll like
it, appreciate it. So, you're just going for the,
the the, the fun of the question.
Not for, okay. Okay, I got you.
All right. Wait, what should I ask when
it's my turn to ask a question? Hold on, I got one for you know,
I feel like I should ask something about our Quest.
Oh like did Fitzpatrick actually steal the jewels.
Or is this guy a nutcase and did he steal from himself?
Because I feel like, yeah, I like this.
That's probably the best one. Honestly, for this current line
of I would I would agree with that especially since it's our
last question. Yeah.
Our last question should be related to the quest.
Be like, Alan. Yeah.
And I'm like how could I wear it?
Because it's technically two questions.
If I just say did Fitzpatrick steal the jewels or was it we
can ask it. Fitzpatrick has the jewels in
his possession like a specifically, the stolen Jewels,
right? Because he could just have
jewels like, yeah. Does Fitzpatrick have in his
possession? The jewelry that we seek?
Yeah. So I can't remember the guys
name. Declan does Fitzpatrick have
declan's. Stolen, Jewels stolen Jewels.
Yeah, because that's the other thing too is, I'm like, we're
dealing with the PHA. We have to be very, very
specific about our wording stolen jewelry.
Yeah, I would say missing. Yeah.
Yeah, missing jewelry. Does it?
Does, it does Fitzpatrick have declan's.
Ting jewelry. Missing family heirlooms?
Yeah, it is more than jewelry. So does deck have okay?
Okay. Flint so, are you ready?
Uh-huh. Outside.
Yeah. What is a criminal's best asset?
And the looking and moving over. Thanks for a minute.
What is a criminal's? Best asset.
The good thing your mic doesn't pick up typing.
I'm actually not looking it up. I'm gonna try and I'm trying to
solve them on my own. Kind of looking. she looks at
you, flint and she says, why would imagine?
It would be. Themselves.
Close. But no cigar A criminal's best
asset is their liability. It kind of looks at you and nods
and she's like, she starts laughing a lot.
Big ol belly laugh. And she goes, oh, that was a fun
one. I enjoyed that.
And then like her face goes real serious.
She goes, is it my turn now? Yes, I believe it is your last
question for us. And she looks at you knows, no,
no. I have two more.
Oh hey, my apologies. And she smiles.
And she says, what question can you never answer?
Yes to. Are you okay?
Wow. What question can you never
answer? Yes to
I don't know if I have anything for this one.
I was gonna say, how are you in this group huddle of our TV?
ER, because you can't just say yes to how are you?
I mean, you can. This one right now, I'm
rhetorical question. No, I would say the questions
you just asked us. It's what I'd be pretty funny.
I should ask that. Is there a name for a question
that? Well, four types of questions.
Yeah, yeah. For a type of question.
That isn't a yes or no answer. That's why I was thinking like
rhetorical question. What's the definition of a
rhetorical question? Oh, a rhetorical question is one
of those questions and answers themselves, you know, like you
just watched somebody take a poop.
Did you take a poopy today? But I would be obviously, yes.
In that particular case, all you guess you could answer yes to
it. So that one doesn't really
count. Yeah.
We require shit in the woods. Yeah, it's a multiple choice
question. Sat question.
Hmm. Are you dead?
You can never say yes to that, because you're dead.
I mean, I can't think of a character one of our campaigns.
Can see that could say yes to that.
There's a living dead. I mean, that is, that's a good
luck. Musical points.
What about just unconscious? But it has to be a question
because the end, the question was, what is the, what is the
question that you can't see? Yes, to if I'm remembering the
wording, right? But should have written that
one. Doubters that question, you
can't? Yeah, I should have wrote that
down to instead of just trying to remember it.
What is a question that you cannot answer?
Yes. To Have you ever lied?
Everyone in their whole life, has lied about something.
But the fake cannot tell a lie. The PHA cannot tell an outright
lie. They can be very evasive but
they know they can't technically lie.
Got it know that, okay. That you cannot answer.
Yes, to question. I'm gonna go with dead.
That's what about that. What?
The double negative. Because then wouldn't it just be
a positive, anyways. No, maybe that train of
thoughts, dumb too. I don't know, rhetorical
questions was pretty good answer, but But I think
rhetorical questions answer themselves and in a way, it's a
yes, but I don't know. Oh, maybe.
Question. I also like wrens this question
because we cannot answer it with.
Yes. Maybe we should just answer the
question with. Yes.
Or maybe we could just sit come here.
Her like Is there a time limit, sorry?
and she kind of looks at you and goes, well, I suppose not.
Hmm. Something tells me this is going
to be punny. Mmm, should we just get an
answer with yes then or I think we need a consensus on an
answer. I like, I like, are you dead?
And I also like this question. But yeah, the answer this
question you can't just say yes to is a good answer.
What's everybody else, think? Both of them sound solid to me.
Okay, so which one do we use? I always hear that.
What's her name, Adelina, Adelina?
Then is this is this her last question?
No, she's got two more. Are one.
God. One more answer this question.
I want to try to persuade her to let us have two chances at mmm.
That might count as the last question we get to ask though.
Yeah, I don't know about that one.
Okay. Perhaps you could persuade her
without a question, though. How do you persuade without
asking a question? Adam and I would like for you to
give us two chances on this one. And that ended with a period
ma'am. Hmm.
They still think that. Yeah.
Oh, are you guys still? No, I think that's forth are was
that you saying? I think that's Flynn's current
current stance. On this particular predicament
in, says it out loud and that in that manner.
Yeah, I would like for you to give us two chances at this
question. Well, me a persuasion.
Oh, Hope, you're wearing your tight pants today.
What do you mean? he smiles and looks at you and
says, how about I give you? The two chances and I get an
extra question. Nope.
Don't wait, wait, no. I'm going to say fair because
you just ask me a question. Huh.
Sorry then she looks at you and says, oh, that wasn't a
question. That was a counter offer.
I wasn't asking for I was asking for a demand.
She, look, she goes, you made a statement.
I made a counter statement. Guys, I need help with this one.
I took care of Poots again and in the tension just a little I
got it. No.
Okay, okay, well forget my my demand and will forget your
counter and we'll just go straight forward answer.
How does that sound? Very well.
It's just trust me on this one. Okay. our answer to your
question is, A rhetorical question.
And she smiles and says, no. The answer is, are you sleeping?
That is incorrect ice. I sleep, talk a deep sigh.
Just man, we were so close. As he grabs the fork on his belt
and things that against belt. Buckle ha, ha ha, as he has
before. I would, I am going to wrap this
in somehow. I've determined in my own sick
way. I don't know how, though.
Oh, But we had determined last time that this went and Caden
have their yeah, and they didn't have their inventory.
Oh, we did. Oh wait, wait, we don't have our
inventory. I saw it.
I know we didn't have our torque necklaces but I didn't know if
we were with without anything else.
So we have no weapons or anything as fully your
discretion. DM.
Okay, so then I will say that you don't have your Torx but you
do have your inventory. Okay.
Well then yes, you would have the fork.
Whoop, how far back does it. Jump 15 seconds.
Yeah. Yeah, something like that.
Choking them water here, excuse me.
Draw. How does the for Quark 6
seconds? It's actually wrote in here on
the fork. That's what I thought I
remembered to. And basically it's if you were
in combat, one fork would just be like your turn and that's
what we'd we determine to. Because that's how you're trying
to use it. Anyhow.
Most of the time so that you could replay just six seconds of
time and the fork worked basically blind has an idea of
what happened and it's because he's Holding the fork, no one
else is touching it and he'd wait.
Eddie's on his shoulder. I jumped off.
Okay, in this is gonna say that could cause problems.
And and so when is aware of the situation, and that time is gone
back that six seconds, but no one else is. okay, is it like
Hmm. So it says here A Punch drinking
the prongs are harmonic sound emanates from from them and
time. Flew is back, six seconds for
the wielder. So okay, so the reason I'm
asking Josh is because This lady has magic resistance and she has
advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical
effects. Also, when she noticed the
passage of time going in reverse, it says resistance,
right? Right.
These, that is, at least on tarus and this is why I would, I
would say it deems discretion for that because this is one of
those items for sure, that would bark a conflagration at any
table besides ours, between players and it's because this
item is beyond legendary. Its It's mythical its utter
fuckery. Yeah, yeah, it's have a pocket
full of them. So you had those forks and
spoons like in your belt for the photos that we took.
And when I showed them to my family, the very first thing my
mother asked was like, why does he have silverware in his bonus?
Looks like it's part of its equipment, Mom, it's important.
I actually did not notice in any of the pictures silverware.
Yeah. Because Cuz yeah, look at Flint
belt, okay? Because I've said it to Josh
before that I've I've carved holes into the ends of each of
the spoons and forks so they can Dangle on my hip.
So it shows a bonus action to use one instead of a full action
because I'm not putting a weapon away.
So, so, do you have a turkey turkey, turkey, spoon to?
No, he does not. Okay, no, I just have my Forks.
We know. I thought I had both.
Yeah, a spoon. You have a bowl and and forks.
I thought, oh no, that's Hamilton.
He has the Chopsticks. Yes.
Hamilton has chopsticks. Are those like nunchucks
Chopsticks? Yes you don't know.
I thought there was spoon somewhere there are but it and
it's in the good campaign but I don't think Hamilton has one.
It's all your right to teleporting spoon.
Yo. Yeah, okay, nevermind back to
where we were. Sorry you're fine.
You're good. Okay.
So so she would not notice This happening.
Yeah, I would say I would guess not either too because this is
like God level power. It's not even.
Hmm. I found it until after all.
That's fair. All right.
So you jumped back 6 seconds. To okay.
Will forget I asked you are I demanded you for the second
answer and I will just answer your question.
The question that you ask the answer would be.
Are you asleep? And a wave of irritation, kind
of spreads across her face. And goes.
Yes. That is correct.
And then she turns to you cat and goes time for your final
question. So I looked at her, I stand up
straight, look, I'll prim and proper.
Yeah, I asked, I'm like, does Fitzpatrick old the stolen
family? Heirlooms of Why can I not
remember his name? Divergent the dictator Eric
Decker Club Declan I'm sorry does Fitzpatrick hold the Lost
Fair family. Heirlooms of Declan. and she
kind of looks at you when you say those two names and she
smiles And she says, not all of them.
Bitch. Yeah, we should have asked that
first. Well, no, no we have with good
information. Now this is good because he
knows the path of might know where the rest of them are just
because he doesn't have them, doesn't mean that he doesn't
know where they are. That's true, that's true.
Or the local favorite. That's the way I'd say we won
and that means we get teleported.
So we can soon resolve this matter with 50 puts her hand up
and smiles and says oh no dear, I have one last question.
I've only asked three That she has.
But we could all three got the first three, right?
It's statistically, we have one. Yeah.
I don't get smiles and says, Will you've gotten three
correct? And I've gotten three.
But we have no way to prove that your is was correct.
How do we know that you're telling us the truth?
Flint doesn't know about phase or is she even if a I don't know
but how do we know you're telling us the truth that Declan
has sure. I pipe up and say she's been
telling the truth. Like right on cooked.
Yeah, right. The truth bubble, but the truth,
Miss uncooked, I mean, sometimes the truth bubble that we don't
know about I mean, true things are uncooked.
Does that mean cook? Things are alive?
Yes. Yeah, Ike was asking me
questions and that just means a baby is a fully cooked cream
puff. I just confirmed that.
Adelina was telling the truth, was all to the to everyone else
than when we went off on a tangent, okay?
Because of the zone of Truth thing it lasts for 10 minutes.
As long as I hold the concentration.
Now, I don't even have concentration on it, it's just
10 minutes. All right, ask your final
question then. And she smiles. and she says,
what belongs to you but everyone else can use it.
What belongs to you? But everyone else can use it.
Oh, wow. Oh guys, guys, I like I'm gonna
say it's your name. Jake's, let's see you I like
that one. That sounds good to me.
And appropriate for Where We Are.
Yeah, they pay like names, don't they?
Excess not going to go with that one consensus.
Okay, I think it's cats turn. Yeah, I guess it is.
So what belongs to you but everyone else can use it, your
name. and she gets very like, Very visibly, angry. and like,
kind of purses her lips together and your says, yes, that is
correct. And she sighs.
You have answered correctly. Huzzah.
A beer and she sighs. And she goes, okay, what you can
go in there? Good, I suppose I'll hold up my
end of the bargain. And I skidder up to the side of
the armrest, on the chair and peek over it, and then go back
down into my pack, come back over, and hold her one of the
spiky nuts. And say, it's okay, one of these
spiky nuts. Don't eat it though.
And Chin looks and Chuckles and goes, thank you very much Eddie,
you're very kind. And she takes the knot from you
and sets it. Next up, like a candle.
That she has like burning on this table right here.
And then she says, alright, Fair is fair everyone to the center
of the room. And she kind of sucks over this
way. Wait for you guys.
So kind of pile up into the middle.
We align in a t-shape, is this is that this counts as a huddle,
right? and you guys do that and kind of
muddled something and then she snaps and when she snapped
sparks fly out from her hand, and there's this really bright
blinding light and then you guys Appear here.
Holy hello. Hello, what the retreat, I start
climbing it, I get to the lowest branch and stop huffing and
puffing T, to try and see what's around us.
Besides the obvious thing that I ran past, which is that most
certainly a door, but I was just excited about the tree.
You say, obvious, the obvious thing I see is a pile of bones.
Yeah, no, don't drink that. Yeah, don't drink, the pile of
bones, mustache. You're just put her head into my
glass of whiskey and Coke. Oh, let her have a little sip.
If she's personally, I think a little nip, a little bit.
You just start looking around, you thing familiar landscape.
It looks like the same Forest. You've Supposedly like as far
as, you know, you've been in this whole time.
Are there any nuts on this tree? It's me, do find.
You do find a couple more of the funky-looking nuts.
Okay. I just grab like one more and
yell down everybody. Looks like, right?
The same for us, though. The first part of that cut out.
Oh dang. I said hey guys, we found more
nuts. Or the same for us though.
With the same kind of nuts as before.
Is that what we said? Yeah, I'm shaking it over the
side of the tree to so you can see that it's a very spiky
looking nut. It's very spiky poisonous.
Not that they're just like handling nonchalantly.
I want to investigate this pile of bones.
I'm just going to start like, I don't know.
Jump up on it. Start going through it.
Yeah, Chrome an investigation. 23.
Wow. So you find a lot of Bones.
You also find some like Weaponry for like a couple very basic
looking swords and a couple very basic like would Shields.
And then you also find a few pieces of clothing.
Most of it's very pattered and warned, there's like some really
tattered like a really tattered tunic, a couple of those couple
really tattered pants some boots A couple pairs of gloves.
But that's about it. I'm going to throw out all the
weapons that I found just like toss them as best as I can out
of the pile of bones. okay, there are two.
Swords two axes and three Shields.
Okay. Yeah, so when I find them, I'm
just going to do my best to like get them out of the pile and lay
them on the ground and I'm not going to deal with any of the
clothing, but I am going to look for the smallest bones that I
can find. And I would like to take five of
them. Okay, you take 5 teeny, tiny
bones Bone Collector. That's what I'm going to put
teeny tiny bones. They're like you can't really
tell for sure, but they look like either like finger or toe
bones. Apparently I don't know how to
spell teeny tiny. I got to spell it.
Don't tell me. I'm my life.
Bella. He 80.
What? Deanna and T eaten, and why?
NY. Okay, I was doing IE Heaney.
Okay, teeny, tiny bones. I'm gonna bring everybody's
attention to the weapons that I throw out of the pile of bones.
How are you throwing them out? Are you just like, I'm digging
through the pile and imagining I'm using both legs and my head
and whenever I find anything, I grab, whatever handle, I can
with one of my feet and kind of like just tucking it behind me
to the best of my ability, fucking it behind you. but
gawking it by okay. So you just kind of kicking it.
Hmm, I can't do you like dead. People is weird.
Oh God. Nope, just seeing if I can find
any clues in this nice pile of bones.
Well, we're supposed to be at Fitzpatrick's, right?
It would just be his house, huh, does he live inside this?
I mean, that's where decade lived died, see anything like of
an entrance up above. You don't see anything up above.
No, just the Treetops is. This is what we're going into
Fitzpatrick's home. No is Declan Fitzpatrick.
I've been saying that this whole time.
Does anybody take any of the Weaponry?
I toss out today even care? I don't think I can wield any of
that. I will examine it.
What do I see? Well, what do you do to examine
it to see? What kind of weapons?
You just throwing axes even at the stink eye when she said
there were swords and axes and issue towards two axes, three
Shields I want to investigate the sword, how do you
investigate it? Like, do you?
Leave it on the ground and look it over.
Do you pick it up? Pick it up.
Okay, when you pick up the sword, A spectral image appears
in front of you, just a black. Wispy figure.
The drop the sword immediately. You drop the sword and it
disappears. Did anyone else see that?
No. I'm going to pick up a different
sort. Same thing.
I'm still holding it. Does anyone else?
See this in front of me? I turned to look to see wherever
he's gesturing, just like my little figurine is pointing
Straight Ahead joining us to learn right there.
Yeah, everybody that like you draw attention to seize this.
What is your name being? Nothing.
Now we can work on a, check on this creature.
Yeah. Well, well. it is some sort of
what you can presume to be a magical, spectral image.
I walk up and then touch, the, please tell me good.
Sorry, go ahead. No, you can good.
Please tell me it. Just follows the sword Bearer
around. It's just annoying.
His critiques every ever. Swing it take with us to move
ahead. I'm imagining a Gordon Ramsay of
Swords right now, yeah. You're fucking donkey.
Yeah, and maybe it's sandwich an idiot Swordsman.
I guess I walk up to the thing and try to touch it.
The. Spectral image.
Hmm, your low pile goes right through it.
No resistance, no feeling nothing feels a little cold.
Kind of like you've like reached through like a draft of air.
Feels like my wet farts. Well, don't like a Nutty fart.
You know, you sometimes in the dead of winter, you do things
that you need to do to survive. I've had a Nutty fart or two in
my day. Well Jon, it's extra and thanks
for fucked up cuz he's gay. Yeah.
Franchise just going to look over and see this and be like,
yeah, fuck all that. And like, look back, like
continue to look at the tree and try to figure out.
If this is a door, just a rock. Like, what this Moon Sun thing
is, just like Ponder Ponder the nature of the truth.
Did you try swinging it yet? I'm going to swing the sword,
just out in the are not aiming to hit anybody or anything.
So me one. if I can find like a
well, there's no ghosts on here, for just going to pretend This
is The Ghost and that there is no weapon in their hand.
And you guys are standing, like, where you guys are positioned?
Where you're positioned, right? So you just kind of how do you
say you just swing in the air? Do you swing towards the
spectral image? Or what direction do you swing
the sword at? I'll swing The Sword and a
diagonal downward Direction. But with enough distance between
me and the Spectre the desert that the spectral image that I
don't hit them. So in front of you though is how
you swing it, they reach their arm out and mirror like your
action. I'm going to take one step
backward. What are you watching?
Orange. Shut up.
But I was watching Titanic. I was going to get real
confused. Sorry, you do one, I take one
step backwards. Okay.
It takes one step towards you. Or know you're taking one step
backwards, it takes one step backwards.
Hmm. Take a poop Renshaw, do me a
favor and pick up one of those sorts.
Negative Ghost Rider. Wait, I touched all these
weapons. You did not pass them up.
You King them? That's why I asked.
If you kick how you got them, out of the pile.
I don't I don't do spooky shit. Not my not my cup of tea.
Nothing spooky seems to be happening so far, just need to
test something. But Josh needs doesn't respond
continues to ponder the tree solution.
I'm very intrigued by this happening.
I walk over and touch one of the swords as if I'm gripping the
handle. But I don't pick it up because
I'm a chicken. I probably can't.
So, I think gripping it in like trying to, like, hold it and
pick it up. Count enough.
Are you what weapon are you doing?
What's going to be others or towards?
Yeah. Okay you do that and another
Spectral image. Appears in front of you.
If you type goes, by the way, gab there should be under free
assets to a little weird looking things.
Oh, I didn't mean to throw it on the floor.
I was able to scratch that, I'm sorry.
Oh, perfect. Yeah.
Meanwhile. Brandon, Patrick are
investigating this? Shiny Moon thing at the back
base of the tree. I really I did roll my
investigation. Yeah.
It just looks like a really nice carving of like a sun with a
like crescent moon in front of it.
I try to grab for the edge of it, like, it's a door, or look
for some way to activate it. You can kind of grab at the edge
of it but it is carved like it's part of the tree.
And there's no button. There's no hand no button like
no seams or anything, it's just kind of carved into the tree.
And your ghosts, go into tree. Mmm.
Who face the tree and step backwards.
What happens if I close my eyes? You see nothing but Darkness.
I didn't get to be my age by fucking with spooky shit.
You turn to face the tree and the image turns and faces, the
truth. Take two steps to the left.
One hop, this time hands on your knees.
Hands on your knees. It moves, two spaces over and it
like floats through the other one.
Wait though, isn't it supposed to go in the opposite direction
or know your rule? I think it went in the same
direction so you went backwards, it went backwards, you went to
the left, it went left. So you got to run into that damn
Tree Side, tow cab tell Ike, I'm pulling my favorite card and
Wendy and he's over he doing a raid tonight because I prank
called what's-his-name at work. I don't know cuz he works a
double tomorrow. Okay.
I mean, I can say, Johnny said he wants to pull his favor card
and after d and e he wants you to do, right?
He waits you got that right? Not on the double everything by
myself monster. Well if they come out burnt but
he did not on a double No t-that's.
He said, it's because he prank called what's his face at your
work. He said he's not feeling good.
That's fair. Did he take more of that
medicine? You told him to take.
Yeah cuz I walk down there and gave it to him.
He was like what's this? I suggest you take it.
Donuts. Question.
I got a thanks. because Kyle told me that he dipped out and
he asked me if I wanted to Yeah, but okay.
So is I thought to ghost went in the opposite direction.
I moved. So I fucked up.
Yeah. You walked back at walk back?
Okay. I want to throw the sword about
to here. Right?
You throw the sword. The second.
It leaves your hand, it disappears.
Come on, let it go and pick it up now.
It reappears in front of you. Run try.
You said you're investigating like The Rock.
Yes. Yeah I want to see if there's
any entrance or like it looks like there is an entrance but
even if it's like covered up or like hidden or disguised in the
bottom of the tree among these rocks, Rome an investigation.
Investigation, 19. So you're kind of looking
around. You don't really see anything on
the Rock, but right about here, you do see looks like somebody
carved into the tree manners will grant you access.
Well, that's useful. Should we say please?
Well, Grand Canyon's. Why would we say please?
That's polite and that's manners, please.
Yeah, but I don't understand the context of this statement I
mean, why don't we ask the, you know, the tree for entry?
I guess. Would you please grant us
entrance? Oh wonderful, great tree.
I'm sure I would know what kind of tree this is but Underwood,
okay, as long as it wasn't completely foreign to me, but is
that a squirrel's favorite terrain?
A tree not a for free. So what is it?
A joke? Is it a maple?
Five wife? I'd say so.
So I would say it's not like like it's a little different to
you but like the most I guess the best thing you have to
compare it. To would be like A young
Redwood. Size-wise definitely. that's
what I would call it when I say provide my Courteous.
Ask for entry to the tree of oh, great would would would you
group please Grant my humble group entry and I bow.
Do you like leaves kind of like fall down but nothing really
happens. Maybe you should try that with
the ghost there. Flint maybe like to Daddy.
I thought you were very polite, huh?
Thank you. Come on, sometimes, it's
whatever you. Two steps over.
And it goes smooth, two steps to the right.
Two steps over. And it moves to steps to its
left. trying to turn my dude, but Can bubbles.
Oh yeah, what a turnaround. It turns around a peek over my
shoulder to see if it around it Peaks back at you.
Take two steps this way. Two hops this time.
Lift, what? I'll let go of the sword.
It disappears. Turn around.
Pick it back up. Three appears facing you.
Take one step towards the coast. And it takes one step and passes
through you and it's a very odd feeling.
Like just this cold, like gust of wind just rushing into you.
Like an Arctic freeze upon the Atlantic Ocean.
Take two. It takes two steps back.
I see what we doing here and walk all the way up to him.
And I'm going to drop the sword. You were here.
Yeah, drop the sword. He's okay.
And I pick it back up. Reappears in front of you again,
take two steps backwards. And it is like hovering just
right in front of the door or this Boulder.
One more step back. And it disappears.
Try to walk through the same door or the same spot.
It walked through just like on top of the bolt.
I climbed down from the side of the tree where I was at.
I stand on top of the boulder Daigo, maybe he and I just jump
at the door thing, so it disappeared into the boulder.
Awesome. When I'm standing on top of the
boulder died. I'm not actually standing on top
of the boulder. Is that what you're telling me
or? Well, the spectral image
disappeared. Like it was right in front of
this big boulder here, like moved backwards into the
boulder. So when I stand on the boulder,
nothing happens. I see what you're saying.
Yeah, you just stand on the Walter.
Wait, right there. My friends.
I take one step forward. You take one step forward and it
steps forward out of the boulder.
Does the Boulder Boulder is conflicted, those, the boulder
change in any way when the Specter walks through it.
Or is it just like your help right through it?
Nothing happen up, just room. I want to flail my unarmed hand.
How do you flail it? Just I hold my arm up above my
head and just limp noodle that shit above my head does the same
thing. I'll take one step back.
Are you still filing your arm? No, I just did that as a test.
It disappears into. The Rock again.
But you're a even at here, Flynn Renshaw Kira.
I'm in Canada and he just stepped to the side.
I have an idea. Okay, dip.
Whether rather Scamper on top of one of the roots of the tree
off, to the left side of the opening, or rather the Sun Moon
carved into the tree. Bradshaw cat.
With the real Racha please end up.
Sorry, I'm just watching. I'm like, okay, what's going to
happen next? You can I'm gonna move you for
all intensive purposes. I've moved.
Okay, I'm going to hold both my arms out, still holding the
sword like as in a gesture to push the boulder.
And step forward. you do that, and As you're like pushing in
like stepping forward, the spectral image emerges from the
Boulder and it's like reaching its hand out.
Like it's trying to push something.
Walk up to the pile of weapons. Hmm.
It also walks up to the pile of weapons.
And I want to reach down. And grab the second sword.
Still leaving the sword on the ground, just grabbing the hilt.
Okay. Cat.
Did you when you move, did you try to drag the sword with you
or nobody? Just walked away from it?
Okay, so yeah, then the second one head like the average sword
which is larger than me a chicken.
Yeah. So the second spectral image had
disappeared and then Flint as you like, grabbed the health of
it, it reappeared. Okay, I'm going to pick it up.
Going to hold those swords in my hands. and I'm going to like,
Flash, my hands together like where the hilt of the sword
sealed. Bang them together.
And they both make the motion like they're doing the same
thing. I want to put the second Sword
Down. I'm going to pick up one of the
axes. Okay.
Another image appears. Take one step back.
They each take one setback. This one seems to kind of
disappear into the boulders and roots of the tree.
Okay. So this is the sword one and
this is the excellent, right? Yeah, okay.
So if I set back, he went to the left.
I'm a step to the right. Now some steps.
All right, I'm going to look at the tree again.
One more time to see what the heck was written on it.
Are you looking at the top of the tree or are you just taking
a general glanced around like the whole like base of the tree
like this the area that area I'm guessing that was what was what
had happened? Even though I was still confused
because I'd seen wrench are looking at a particular area for
something and then. Yeah, it was right in here and
they saw a message written like carved into the tree that said,
manners will grant you Accessed. I am thinking about this while
I'm watching all this activity happening.
I approached the stone and I I knock with my foot and not my
beak and then ask permission to enter.
As you lift your foot in like knock on the boulder, the
boulder kind of like shifts but doesn't quite open.
Even after I asked the question, I knock a second time. if so,
little bit more, I I asked the same question in Sylvan.
Nothing happens. I knock a third time.
And it shifts a little bit more. it's shifted enough now that
it's kind of like, You can tell now that it's like a rounded
front, but definitely is more of like a door.
So it's kind of Shifting like hinging Inward and it's hinged
inward enough that you could probably like fit your head
through. The head of entrepreneur of a
chicken, no Pat. When I start knocking fervently
on the stone in cat was. And so the same time crunch.
I was gonna walk up and like slow like softly caress the side
of the Stone. It's trickier.
Are you talking like how are you knocking?
I'm taking both pause and just continually just like, nothing
happens. Mmm, I guess.
So then the ghost is facing the Boulder and I want to give like
a slight bow like you would file to royalty.
Nothing happens. Okay, I mean, besides the, like
Specter bowing as well. I'm gonna, I'm gonna reach out
and caress the stone again. And this time, whisper sweet
nothings to it. Nothing happens.
I gently knock on the, on the stone, I'm sorry, is this what
you like as you gently knock? It does shift a little bit more.
Okay guys, we figured it out. We must we must treat it with
respect. Hello, will throw one of the
acts downs and then put the other put the sword and like my
belt to like sheath it. Okay.
Like, all right. Well, that bullshit didn't work.
It was a valiant effort, they're feeling.
And I am assuming, I don't know if anybody else is knocking, but
I say this is what we must do. And I I continue to knock as
politely as I am able, as a chicken.
I to talk, we take our ads as you three gently, knock it,
shifts a good bit to the point where like cat and Metric are
you could probably fit into the space.
Yeah, we should keep knocking. I'm going to keep knocking.
Yeah, I feel like we should keep knocking, open it some more
knocking continues. So after a few more, knocks of
gentle knocking from the three of you it shifts, open enough
that all four of you could pass through.
It'll be a little bit tight for run Tron Flint but you can
manage All right, kind of just shimmy sideways into it, then.
You all go through. Oh yeah, yes.
But with that, I also have to know that I'm gonna have to go
soon, okay. I think we can wait times, I
guess it still 52. Man.
Were bad at doing one shots. We just get into all these
shenanigans. In my defense I'm trying to move
along fast tokens. Get, I'm trying really hard not
to investigate every single thing that I want to because I'm
like this isn't really necessary for the storyline.
The hard habit to break right there.
It's hard to get out of that mindset of like it's just so
much fun. Yeah.
Quick shove everything into your pockets because this might be
cool later. I wish.
I get why token snap to the grid, but I wish there was a way
to make them smaller. If you if you're on a token and
you you you're on the token layers, you can see the girl
grabbed I cut the corner of they're like hmm.
There's like the dots. Yeah you can scale them.
Way too. And just grab onto one of those
dots and make them smaller and you have to hold alt if you want
to not do it to the squares. Same as if you were moving your
character around, you have to help hold alt to not land inside
of a square. I did not know that.
Yep. Perfect.
Motherfucker. Mmm.
Then we do every day. Struggling with that.
So much me too. I'm like, God damn it.
I'm a chicken. I can go where I want.
Oh look how we're all testy. All right.
You guys. Squeeze your way through.
And tada. I'm going to skate on the scroll
out a little bit, kind of like a downward ramp Okay, so we went
from nice tree to horrible. Dark cave.
Got it. Whoa.
Your token just like shot across the map for me.
That's why I was like whoa. Whoa, where did you go on an
adventure? I'm going on an adventure.
I do though. Oh man.
It doesn't move the the sphere of what I can see, but I know.
I'm sorry, no worries, no worries.
They run down. I run down the down.
The ramp. Just like this way to do.
Do do do. We made it inside?
Yeah, stopping point. And it is up to you guys.
I'm good with stopping here. Unless I'm running into traps,
I'm just running. Well I'm worried about the
squirrel. I'm going to try to keep up with
the squirrel, but I'm assuming it's probably faster than me.
Okay, just because I'm worthy. Yeah.
For the interest of, because it's a pain in the ass for me to
keep trying to Adjust the dynamic lighting but are not
Dynamic lighting. The fog of War E.
I am just going to do this and be like the old thing works.
Turning your character to oh yeah.
That's much better. I like that a lot better.
Holy fuck. Okay.
And if you're just running up into the space, are you trying
to be like quiet at all? No, I would say a squirrel.
It's quiet in general in general.
Even when squirrels are loud, they're quiet MN trench on Flint
running after the squirrel. No, I'm not running.
I'm more just sling after it. Okay.
No. I think I was the only one that
stated I was running after the squirrel.
Yeah, I'm following. I'm just not a Trying to keep
up. I would move towards the more
lit area as most as possible and as quickly as possible, turn
back around to the two that are dilly-dallying.
And just Apparently and Renshaw roll me a stealth.
Oh good. I was the head guys but maybe
not super loud. Like like a loud whisper?
Yeah. Sixteen.
As you go. Hey guys, you see these two
creatures in front of you kind of start tossing and turning and
stirring creatures, those were bodies their bodies.
They're just alive bodies that are sleeping got back up from
those bodies. Guess I won't cast that.
Shit. Fuck. well, I guess to just
considering the hour and and where we're at on the map and
for you I'll consult the DM to see what your Take is on them,
they haven't woken up. They're just very obviously
lightly sleeping now Until next time on Dragon Ball Z.
We can turn this into a three parter.
Might not be next week as to what I understand from what we
talked already get. It would not be next week now.
Yeah, you got to work. Now lets me Nikes anniversary.
Oh, I liked each other. We do her.
Like I'm going to refer back to what Josh said earlier.
Stick it in her butt. I said it was our anniversary.
Tuesday. And Johnny said, I'm going to
repeat what Josh said earlier, stick it in her bud.
You gotta half-laughs half coughing fit in a head nod.
Need at least get her flowers. First, right?
If you could Josh said, he at least needs to get you flowers
first. I imagine I like being the guy
he is, he's gonna cook like a bomb-ass dinner for you.
I was gonna cook dinner but I imagine.
He's going to rub your feet and shoot for you.
Tell them these are our expectations and if he doesn't
meet them he has failed. They said their expectations and
that you cook me. A bomb-ass dinner and rub my
feet. He nodded and said we'll see him
and then his stick in your butt and he gets to play Fitz
Fitzpatrick when we actually meet him.
Actually I was legitimately going to ask him, but I knew he
was all stopped up, and didn't feel good.
So, well, I mean, he's theirs next time, now, Not don't get
excited and I'm sticking with my body.
Yeah, I was gonna ask you if you could voice the white character
that they're looking for, suppose that that that rat
bastard who's supposed bad guy, that rat bastard Fitzpatrick.
Poise stigma, Lucky Charms. Lovely, I can't wait to see what
happens next, but yeah, I'm enjoying this.
Yeah, this was a lot of fun. I'm glad you guys are enjoying
it. Yes.
Many, many thanks Gib. Yeah.

time I like Charming Adventure. Good night, guys.
