Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warnings. Sometimes we are not safe for
work and others not safe for real life.
Journey forth at your own risk. Now let's dive right back into
Tara through the campaign Allelopolis.
Our Lord and Savior. Good God, what secrets will you
tell us today? The Hand of Fate tosses.
The dice rolls, spins, turns. The campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that becomes stories.
Stories flow out into the infinite sea, painting it with
legends. Legends wash up on the shores
throughout the independent sea, fading to myth until myths are
forgotten and the campaign that gave it birth comes again and
again. The Hand of Fate tosses.
The dice rolls, spins, turns. We left our adventures, the Rum
Rollers. After they'd just left Shondar's
island, headed back towards Socrates.
They'd finished up negotiation successfully with Shondar and
eradicated a goblin problem for him that was infesting his
volcano and in in the midst of that had stole stolen some butt
crystals from the goblins and messed up the supply chain of
goblins. So there weren't, weren't
shouldn't be coming anymore in there with the Dreider rebels
that were messing with Shondar on the behest of their goddess
who had taken a contract with the PNC, the professional
necromancy cult. And some old contract was
brought up. The fact that they were mining
the rum rollers that they're part of that group as a as a
wish faction and something that was brought into their purview
to perhaps, maybe they should try to find a way to nullify
this contract as they found they could not destroy it by magical
or brute force means. After the negotiations.
Shandar was true to his words and and after eradicating the
goblins gave everyone rewards that that had participated and
was there from his horde upon their request in it if he had it
available. And from there they decided to
have a nice relaxing day on the beach where volleyball was
played and sharks were murdered and gutted before new
adventurers joined the party and some old came back into
existence for a little bit. And they in doing so invoked a
giant flying airplane that almost just not destroyed, but
potentially damp, highly damaged Adune.
They avoided this fate, however, with Wisteria, who turned
everybody on the ship and the ship itself into gas, as well as
with Sonora's help, who deflected the incoming missile
of a giant flying paper airplane onto the beach.
After they elected a interim captain of Cat to set sail
towards Socrates, they started their journey and heading out
from from Shondar's Island SE and then to North what NE.
From there, on their turn, hanging up to the northeast,
they'd run into an even more massive giant tentacle monster
that came from the depths. But again, Wisteria exercised
her prowess with the gaseous form that had been practiced
with earlier, and they turned into gas and just floated away
from the monster as night came the ability.
Because I think you were casting Cat Fly as well so that you guys
can move faster. Yes.
So then you guys got pretty far away before you actually set
back down into the ocean. Wisteria disappears from
everybody's memory again. She doesn't exist.
And who has? That spell.
And the Dunae splashes back down into the water and you guys were
heading, heading North East now back towards Socrates.
You make it through most of the night to no problems.
But if I could ask for a perception check from everyone?
Perception check. Oh, wait.
Are you perceptive? Wow, that was bad.
I see, I see Manny from in the World 20 if we're.
Supposed to be I needed to grab. I needed to grab the bookmark.
Thanks for the reminder. Yep.
We switched body. Yeah.
So you're Flint in Hamilton's body, correct?
Oh. Lord.
Almighty, not this again. So I'm.
Still using. Hamilton stats, right?
Yes. OK, so you and I figured that
it's going to make it the easiest because then you'll
still have your characters in that area and, well, maybe Flint
might enjoy being in Hamilton's body for a little while.
Oh. My.
Oh, I was. Fucking Oh my God.
I like that I was there for the one on the other side because
that was so long ago. Yeah.
It. Was oh, where's.
My reception, there it is. Even 18 on the left there that
came through first from yourself.
They are keto. And then Hamilton was an 8 and
Cat with a 24 and Nora with a 12.
I would I would say so actually, you know what?
Tell me what everyone's doing on the ship.
We'll we'll go down through the the way those roles came
through. So Nora, what are what are you
doing in the interim during the night after?
Oh, I mean every single person that I interacted with last
session doesn't exist anymore. It's.
Just thank you. Very much but but KIRO and
Sonora didn't interact much last session.
Because you. Know I was catching the paper
airplane. Actually, I guess I'd look at
this. I would be analyzing the paper
airplane, so I wouldn't really be looking out very much now
that we're not gas. Yeah.
I would. Just be sitting on the helm.
I don't know if the paper airplane fully exists right now
either. Though.
Oh, interesting. 'Cause it.
Folded it up. Yeah, I think it's actually with
another. Wisteria with.
Oh yeah, actually. Grand Am picked it up because he
was acknowledged as his he. He's like, I recognize that it's
my map. Yeah, OK, so I guess Zanora
would be kind of looking around confused, being like, didn't I?
Didn't I? Yeah, she would be caught up in
trying to figure out what the fuck happened to this paper
airplane. That she got.
It. Would you be going about a dune,
perhaps looking for for it then? Yeah, I'd probably be like
searching, like going down to the bunkers to be like, well,
maybe like one of them, like took it downstairs where
everyone sleeps. Adune would probably chime in
with oh, let me hear it, let me help, and with her newly
acquired eyes, we'll start searching around the ship with
you. Wait, pause.
Sorry, Adune has eyes now. Oh yeah.
I.
Thought she has the ability to see.
That was one of she, she has like a third person perspective
of her entire body basically, but she can focus in on areas
and she does, she kind of does so especially with her
character. But when you said eyes, I just
imagined floating eyeballs just moving around.
The child. Wait.
I mean when I see this, when we come through the cum room, Oh my
God. Yeah, so Speaking of which.
She feels it every time. You would be coming through a
this an old storage closet it looks like, with scribbled text
on the outside. That is called.
It's called the cum room now Hamilton Oh is one of the
developments and the other one would go because Aduna is
probably talking to everyone and you'd go she you have eyes now,
and she goes Oh yes, Shandar had been able to gift us a a token
that can I can I can use as part of one of the rewards that he
had. I think it was.
How long have I been? How long have I been sinking in?
Well. Let me see here.
I think the last time I remember you would have had some goats
coming off the deck that we'd herded together, sort of kinda
for Chandar to eat. You were.
There when we got toasted. You guys said.
I put on the play because nobody else would, so I started
directing it. Sorry the rest of us were too
busy to burnt you. Know it came.
After. You guys set up the the the show
and dance, and then you were part of the dealings and you
came back and you guys were all celebrating.
You were talking about a new medicinal herb that you'd coined
with Shondar the roller. And yeah, I think that was the
last time you were aboard my decks.
Shit. So it was probably about 2-3
days. Two or three days, man, I feel
like it's been so much longer. Yeah.
Time is funny like that. That would explain why I filled
the closet up. So then that means that you
don't know KIRO? No, Oh no, he knows KIRO.
Do I? Yep, because you came back and
when we're dealing with Shondar trying to get our rewards and
you wanted to double down and girls like, no, that is not
honorable whatsoever. We're going to stick to what we
said we could do and through a whole lot of persuasion and
rightful thinking because the whole time my.
Only persuasion was come on. You weren't.
You weren't moving. You weren't.
You weren't moving the samurai. It was not happening.
The Sage was not having it. So I'll just go down to the next
person who is going to probably catch the thing that I was going
to say. Cat, Cat.
Do you want to tell me what you were doing?
I am sitting at the helm just enjoying the day with a dune and
just having a good time. The night and as as you're as
you're sitting at the helm, a dune fully distracted with the
crew being back on board finally and out at sea and propelling
the ship forward, you see over cresting over one of the
horizons, a darker shadow that probably blots out some of the
stars. It looks like a massive ship,
you know, probably four to five times bigger than a dune
themselves. That's the only reason it
catches your eye. But then it dips back down over
the horizon. I call this out.
I call this out to Adune. I'm like, ah, Adune, did you
happen to see that? Am I seeing things?
There's something that appeared on the horizon.
I'm sorry, dear. You know, I was I was looking
for these the a giant airplane got paper airplane.
What the Hell's an airplane? I seem to.
Remember. Something about a paper
airplane, but. I'm wheezy, right?
So I, I actually had to go some research and I thought the same
thing as you. I'm like, wait a second,
airplane? They wouldn't know what an
airplane is. And it didn't.
It didn't trigger the last session we were playing this
that you wouldn't know what it is.
But apparently paper darts were a thing, and they're shaped
exactly like what we would consider paper airplanes.
Oh, OK. So they would.
Creepy what airplanes are because the rhythm, veracity we
know. Oh yeah.
We know the real world. That's why I said I seem to
remember something. A kiddo would be the one who
kiddo would be the only one. Be like, don't you mean a dart?
Yeah, people like darts. And which, yeah, the rest of you
that are remembering the the rememberings you you'd probably
get a little Nosebleed is how we've been been playing that.
Like, man, that's hard. Our chicken gets a Nosebleed.
Yeah. What did that come out out of
your mouth? After I saw that, I'm going to
go and I'm going to get the spyglass and just like prop it
up on. Here, I'll help you.
Because he was. He was standing next to you at
the helm. OK, Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go
to the spyglass and I'm going to be like, we need to look through
this and then I'm going to point it out.
Any, any future perception checks I would say then you guys
are on alert basically and you'd have both have advantage for
those. OK.
All right. But.
And I'm going to describe where I saw it on the horizon line.
You would have seen it not quite in the direction you guys are
going. That's part of the reason why it
drew your attention, but a little bit more towards the West
at the time before it sunk back towards the West northwestern
horizon. All right.
Carol will take the spyglass and focus intently on, you know,
investigating that area and see if he sees anything that catches
his attention. OK, so how about Hamilton Flint?
How? How's the I can go back into the
corridors where you'd be coming out to if you need some
perspective on the matter from the inside.
Otherwise you can. If it's like our like our
sleeping floor, like our sleeping deck, then no, that's
fine. I remember that one OK.
Yeah, that's where I'm talking about that, that that it would
be, if you remember, where NEP had claimed a storage closet and
called it NEP space. That's where they've claimed is
to be the come room now. Or Nep's closet.
And I have just been filling it up with my my lust for a body
that I'm stuck in. Man, I really miss him.
Continues to fondle every inch of it.
Like I feel him, but I feel myself.
Oh Lord. Hey, it's a love story.
Come on. Yep, you're making it weird.
Yeah. I'm making it weird.
Or is he making it weird? That's the point.
He's making it weird. He's dead.
Now you're just being homophobic.
A. Homo bitch.
Yeah, you're now you're being. Homophobic.
OK, I was like what the fuck's a homo bitch?
The gay bitch. Duh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's no they call it no a
name. A gay man's best woman friend is
called a hen a. What?
A hen. I learned a new thing today at.
Least it was back in like. 6. I don't know what y'all call it
anymore with your skibbies and stuff.
I am not part of that generation.
I I don't think he was calling you out specifically.
No, I was just stating I wasn't calling you out but you seem
very offended by that. If you need a safe place I can
point. You to I'm a special snowflake.
Leave me alone. Oh God help me, there are no
safe places here. Ladies and gentlemen, we all may
be. Attended equally.
So you're just going to hang out there then maybe talk to Adune,
see what's been going on, I'm guessing.
Because when Cat called out that she saw a ship, what I've been
able to hear that below deck. Dune would have alerted everyone
while she still would state that she's on the search with Zenora
and you would probably bump into Zenora, not you because Zenora.
You're actually below below deck.
You're still technically on the main deck in the sleeping
quarters. It's like the the for some
reason I'd read somewhere that it's called like the castle.
It's technically that like raised butt portion where the
the captain's corridors and everything are usually at.
That's all. As fuck yeah.
Yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's the, that's the captain's
quarters. Yeah, that's not just, Yeah,
it's so it's not it's, it's not the, it's not the, it's not the
captain's corridors because you guys are all the inside of it.
But it's. We're all the captains in our
heart. Right, but that's the term that
I'd learned recently is it's called the Castle that Little.
So I got another person that is also backing me up there.
Cool. And blame Jeff for that, because
I've been reading that Live Ship book and learning more terms.
Oh yeah, there's a they love using terminology in that book,
which is great. I like learning new stuff,
especially when reading fantasy. Yep.
Oh yeah, like it's the as they say, the devil's in the detail.
So you're going to be just, you're going to hear a dune call
out to everyone that cats alerted that there's a there,
there was something on the horizon.
So when I hear that I would as as Flint, my instincts would
just kick over and I would immediately rush to top deck.
OK, so you rush it out onto the deck.
Oh, he's. Going to just come out with his
like captains bellow and try to take over.
No. And see KIRO for the first time
who if you wanted to do a little blurb for yourself.
Otherwise that can fill in the blank.
Oh, surely, yeah, 'cause were you, were you Flint last time
that they met? Yeah, he was.
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, he was.
That's right, never mind, I forgot.
All all all all all all. All.
Kiero knows is him as Flint, not him as Hamilton.
So. Interesting.
Yeah, well, no, technically he is still Flint in Hamilton's
body is the thing. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah. That's.
What he? Knows Hamilton.
He knows Hamilton as Flint, not Hamilton as Hamilton.
My head hurts right another. Knows me, I'm the other nostril.
So yes, that is accurate, but you would then walk out and see,
you know, cat holding up. Probably because it wouldn't
work very well for your eyes perhaps, I don't know, a
spyglass for KIRO, who is a large dark scaled dragonborn.
Half Dragon. Half dragon, half dragon, Not
quite dragon kin so and you're standing at like 6.
Oh, he stands at 60. So I thought.
He's short. He's shorter than S shorter.
Do we? Even talk about short.
And oh. Look at shopping.
Yeah, there's a 2 foot chicken standing next to you.
You're. A2 foot tall chicken.
You know what's funny is if if if if Cat would allow it.
Kira would probably be like holding Cat while putting the
spyglass up to Cat so Cat can see through the spyglass.
You're such a massive fucking. Chicken I.
Am only. 10 inches taller than you, My goodness.
He, he is a he. He is a cock, you know.
A rooster. A rooster.
I have. A rooster.
But yeah, I would definitely let you hold me and hold this my
glass into my face if I cast enlarge on myself.
You can rhyme. It would.
Be bigger than me. Bugger.
Yeah. So you would have been alerted
to that too, Zenora, if that wasn't clear.
I would have, yeah. I would have gone up top.
OK, who would have followed? You probably would have been
Gullver kind of groggily because he probably would have slept
through being gas. And he's like, is that weirdness
all over? OK.
And walking up next to you, it's like a you what you said you're
2 foot 6. 2 foot 10. 2 foot 10, OK.
So oh. Yeah.
I was just basing my height off the average.
Height. Yeah, I am a.
Small. Baby so golfer is taller than U2
at like 3, three foot 10. He's a cobalt, so very slender.
You know, you know, when my counterpart is here Nosebleed, I
don't feel as small. And.
She and I are like the same height.
Oh wait, I just looked it up again and it said the average
height is 27 inches. Yeah, which is?
Which is 2. Foot three, Yeah, yeah.
Anyhow, so he still, he still walks out with you and he's got
much more of a a Captain E garb about him as well as he's
walking out with you guys because that's what he was on
the ship that he was before he he'd kind of dressed down a
little bit. He doesn't have so much of the
flamboyant jacket or coat or anything, but you can tell he's
got a bit more of a swagger to him and he comes out on the deck
and is there anything that I could do?
I don't know what what did you what was spotted ahead.
I must say I rolled 21 in assisting cat.
I don't know if cat rolled to see what was out with a
spyglass. I don't know which how it is.
Oh, you're with, You're with advantage, Yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah. So.
Yeah, so I had 21. What do you have?
23. OK, what do we see?
You catch the glimpse of what looks like sails ducking over
the horizon with the even with the spyglass Now when?
And it was only because it's night time as I was saying.
So you only catch the whites of their sails going over the
horizon. So you know, know that much and
it looks like they're going, you know, now more or less in the
same direction you are, but off towards the West more, not in
the same line you guys are travelling, but in the
direction. More.
Yeah, more. OK.
I would call information out just like out loud to everyone.
Hey, I see something it looks like sales over the which
direction did you say? Northwest.
Over in a northwesterly direction.
Kira would look down to you going should we ready the guns,
hands the battle. I can ready guns.
I kind of look around at everyone and like get a.
Yes. As as a formal captain, I know
this is not my ship. He's just giving me this look.
A dune. A dune's figure would walk up to
you guys at that point too. She stands at about 5 foot 10
wooden body that looks more more of like a a scarecrow kind of
quality of shape and form, but just of wood and and
androgynous. You know, it's not nothing like
anyway. So she she walks up and goes.
What do we do, Captain? I again, I look around at
everyone trying to judge everybody's faces and I just
ready the guns. I go to ready the guns.
Better to be prepared. Aye aye, you can get from both
Golfer and Dune. You guys spend some time keeping
going towards the keeping your course though.
Yeah. We'll stay on our course and
we'll keep an eye on the on the sales.
OK, I was, I was going to, I was going to ask, is a dune sailing
like sailing for us or are we having to sail to sail?
I I I couldn't remember how that worked.
The dune is sailing for you, it's just the direction you guys
have to choose because she can't navigate even with eyes now.
She's not a navigator one and. So Dune is on the helm, we just
got to tell her which direction. Yeah, at that point too,
probably just to kind of save some grace, she would kind of
lean down to Cat's ear and go, do we need to pick up some sail?
Yes. Are we trying to catch up with
them basically? Do we want to catch up with
them? We wanted to get back to
sorcrities, and we don't want to be had by pirates before we get
there because we're carrying some cargo that the Queen needs.
But yeah, let loose all sail. Give us some speed to get us
back to sorcrities. Aye, aye, Captain, she just
says, and assuming you were saying to her to her and the the
sail goes full on all all three or all two masks you guys got
going on and you feel as if though too, because there wasn't
that heavy of a wind on. There's a bit of a whirring
sound enough coming from below and she leans down to talk to
you too again and and just more of an update manner and kind of,
you know, a reporting kind of to you.
We can still make it, I think to Socrates with the fuel that I'll
have on board at this rate, but I think we will be at a very we
wouldn't be able to go much much anywhere else with the fuel that
I have from the crystals that were the 1 crystal that I was
given been given since you guys made it to Shondar's Island.
You one of the. I think I have one of the
crystals in my possession. Yeah, I think somebody gave her
one of the butt crystals already to charge her up.
OK. So by this point I would have
walked up the cat, seeing that cat was given the commands
seeing that. Seeing a chicken.
Seeing a chicken, chicken on a raft as a crew name was
assisting and I would, I would feel the shift of the ship going
the other direction from the sails and I would just put one
finger on the chicken shoulder, the chicken's wing.
You've made a good call. Trying to face a ship that size
with a six man crew is not wise. And I look up at you, and I go,
I agree. Let's make our way back to
Socrates. At this point to having talked
to you guys and kind of because she doesn't still with her form,
Aduna doesn't talk with her mouth, She's still talking into
your guys's head, but she would go to address you distinctly
this point, Hamilton and go, Hamilton, you're feeling a bit
off. You all right?
We'll just say I'm not quite myself today.
OK. Well, but everything is all
right. Not feeling quite myself.
Well, as you know anything. You need just let me know.
Hi. As Hamilton says that in in his
head he's thinking to keep everything calm and cool.
Don't throw more gas onto the fire that we're already in.
We're already worried about sails on the horizon.
We're worried about low fuel. Nobody needs to worry about me
not being me. Right, right.
Which, yeah, you have, I mean. You don't want to cause chaos.
Not. Not at this point in time.
You guys haven't? Yeah, I was just about to say
you have haven't figured out necessarily there's you guys
know something's up too because of the negotiations that were
had before, but you hadn't I thought expressly told anyone.
Gerald don't know Nuts. Oh, right, exactly.
Neither would Zanora I believe. I don't think she ever actually
met Hamilton. Hamilton.
Unless you know at the performance it was Hamilton.
It was Hamilton at the performance.
And OK, so but like, that's the only interaction she's ever had
with him. You.
Telling everyone to get that on. Yep.
My brain, my brain's trying to recall, but it's kind of just
it's doing the magic carp in my right this second.
Exactly when you would have joined Zenora, I know you were
in sorcrities, but it was it just at the cliffs when you guys
were loading Dune up or was it? No, I we spawned in in a club
and I killed Loki with the table or not with the table, but you.
Guys would have interacted a couple times in Socrates as
well. I want to say maybe.
So we're past our pleasant. Yes, exactly.
Exactly. We were past introductions, like
you didn't need to be introduced, but I don't think no
she's interacted enough with Hamilton to know the difference
between Hamilton and Flint. Plus.
Yeah. To be fair, Flint has Hamilton's
memories from at least barely. It's like a dream.
Like I said I've described before too.
So and you are aware of these other other people at least that
have been in his life for a while.
Anyways, that's. All Giro only knows Flammelton
only knows Flammelton. Flammelton.
So you guys make it through most of the night with no other
incident. The the wind actually does start
to die, die down a little bit towards the morning too, as it
shifts. And then as the sun starts to
pick up over the over the rising in the east, as it were, you you
catch a bit more of a that you know, they're calmer part of the
day right there at about, you know, the 4:00 to 6:00 AM
period. If anyone experiences that in
their life other than me, it's very, very calm out right now.
The waters are aren't moving too much and the the the sun's just
starting to heat up the water. You can see a little bit of
steam and maybe a little bit of fog ish starting to roll up and
you Dune dune would kind of be able to know at least from
having taken this journey before.
We're nearly towards Socrates. We probably got another half to
1/4 days sail before us and right as she's alerting every
one of this actually backtrack a little bit if you guys wanted
to. That was about time frame wise,
we'll say about 6 to 8 hours there.
So it was a It was a long rest for anyone that need.
I don't think I did shit so but I didn't get to punch anything
so Oh no wait, I am down. You took damage from the the the
massive paper. Cut.
I did. I forgot about that.
I forgot I got a massive fucking paper cut across my face.
Yeah, nice. I don't know if you've
determined where since you've forgotten about it, especially
where or how that looks, but I left that up to you so.
I have not yet, it's still healing.
Yeah, it would still have just been scabbed so.
But yeah, as if you get anyone wanted to tell me what they're
doing for that that period of time more than welcome.
For the long rest I would just find a corner or like maybe the
typical place that cat curls up in just to be against the dune
and anytime not sleeping he's studying that big rock that he
bought the last time they were at Socrates.
OK, anyone else just settling in and maybe?
Let's see, Kira would have stayed on the actual deck area,
basically went down long enough to probably grab food to come
back and then stayed on a watch as much as the crash and then
woke up on the deck. Just continue watch.
Oh, but it went below, found a nice cushy pile of hay and took
it. But you don't want penis
pillows. I don't want what?
There's a pile of. Big pile of penis.
Hiding penis pillows. Oh, a bunch of them.
OK, well then yeah, I totally sleep in a pile of penis
pillows. And as you would feel like I'm
at home, lay down into them, maybe we'll start to start to
come softly just. Oh, sleep good tonight.
Was I just clipped? What was that?
No, those are, I think that's actually Rick's ringtone there
that we can hear now and again. Any who Aduna would probably ask
anybody too if she could get anybody anything, you know, that
they need to before they go to go to sleep.
Like do you need any, you know, bedtime beer and a hand would
come up from from the deck right next to you on upon that
request. I think I'd found a darker
darker. One in the stores that I just
cracked and she holds up a brothy mug with the dark rich
color inside. Surely help me slumber off.
I'd think so. I think this was made.
By ZEF, it said on the barrel. Oh Lord.
Oh. So worstic.
So anyone else? Any requests from a Dune before?
A bottle of oil. Zahl Farrow would ask for oil,
no? So he just any type like just a
thin oil, He needs it for the West stone.
He doesn't want to use water. I could definitely send out some
of the the cooking oils then that we have yes.
And she would. You'd see come up next to you
out of the deck, a hand holding a bottle of what looks like I
thinned out yellowish oil. And he like grabs it and bowls
his head gratefully and then goes to start sharpening his
swords while on watch. And resting, I'm assuming
intermittently. Oh yeah, Oh, yeah, yeah, he's
going to rest intermittently, but also because he's like
strange new world, not 100%. And he saw something I'm.
I'm basically saying that, you know, based like a nightmare,
like a nightmare when he's calling it a nightmare air quote
him remembering Grand am nightmare because that's a
nightmare to him. So he's saying he had a
nightmare and he's like, Yep, this world's crazy.
There's grand Am's here, the world's crazy.
Yeah, I'm just going be on guard, Be on guard.
Be on guard, ready for anything. All right.
Anybody else? Nope.
OK, Silence means no. Yes, yes, it does OK.
We can, we can hear Sonora, Sonora in the the bottom one.
Do you want to fight me swinging at the air?
You want to catch his hands? I don't think anyone wants to
catch his hands. So girl, girl, what's far with
you? Just wouldn't go very far.
I don't, yeah. I don't think that'll go very
well for you, my dude. No, he will crash swords with
you. Though Oh I can't do swords
fists, I will absolutely annihilate you.
She knows this from experience. She did so to someone else
before. Oh yeah, that was a fun, fun
fight. It's fun when you get to roll
damage for unarmed strikes. And and when there's no magic
involved. Oh yeah, that's where I thrive.
Anti magic anti magic cage fight is what it was.
Oh. I'd be going now.
Technically I would have beaten him at the level that Zenora was
before that, but we leveled her up for it to be fair.
But she could have done it without.
It. And that was Frederick the
Goliath, right? Yeah.
Yeah, pretty funny. Pretty funny stuff anyways.
Till she met the Broadsider. No, that wasn't you.
Nope, that wasn't me. Nope.
All right, could ever everyone except for except for KIRO roll
with a disadvantage for a perception check then?
And I already rolled a Dune's perception check, but KIRO you
get to roll with with a with a regular.
I wasn't going to. Make that no matter what I
rolled, yeah. Holden. 18 The first one was on
five, like Brother White. Alright Z tell, tell me which
side, left side, right side is going to be my roles where they
land 'cause you know how it like mine messes up all the time.
So which side am I picking? Left or right?
Well when it comes in, the one on the left is the one that
comes in first. Like it number wise.
Yeah, we'll see how this Oh God, start praying for me, Z.
So can. We go back to the right. 12.
Right, right. Well, but the the left one is
the one that's first. No.
That was the dunaise, so it wasn't much much good there.
I just need to roll this. I I blame my inattentiveness on
perfectingly sharpening my sword.
It it it's a process. I'll just roll this one.
Well, that's weird. 96 Anyways, you come out then probably
waking up, I would say, just as an explanation of how that went
down. Hamilton, Flint, Hamilton and
you. You're.
You're you're yawning and stretching as you're coming out
of the castle and you, you're looking out across the the fog
that's just rolling in. And as you're looking out, you
know, probably just as a forethought, you know, in your
mind, in the direction that was last said to be something.
And you see out of the fog the top of a foremast coming over,
not over the horizon even actually at this point it's it's
gotten closer because it must have been able to ride the fog
somehow. You're kind of confused
actually, as you're staring at it, you're like kind of looks
like it's coming out of the water.
From our bowel or from our stern?
From actually, I'm going to put it like this and see if that you
can only see the mast of this. So don't don't read into too
much of it. Oh.
I read too much into it. You can only see the mast read
too. Much into it.
And and KIRO would probably look up at you as you were coming out
and stretching and see your face just like all all like emotion
draining from it. I don't know how else you might
want to describe it, but. Just follow the.
Just see the face. Follow where the face is
looking. Yep, and then that's when you
would see the the same mast it so you were you were just below
what I would what I was expecting.
So I I still gave it to you as a notice.
In in draconic fuck. And Dune is did.
Did not notice so and it's coming closer pretty quick.
Oh, Dune. Get the guns.
Ready. Lemington yells this out.
Yeah. Oh, I'm pretty I.
Would say I had hears it and immediately flops to the ground.
We'll do the branch. Of sail get us out of here.
Go. As you guys are are scrambling
and a dune is is kind of going huh.
What? What do you mean it it comes
within enough that you guys are sure that its guns are pointed
at you now and it does Crest out of the water it seems like and
you realize there's a head attached to the prow of this
ship that is in. Head.
A turtle. Is this a Oh my God this is a
fucking turtle. A turtle, and there is, as it's
coming up to you, see just the parts of a shell just below the
prow of the ship. Is this a dragon turtle?
Below the head. Please God, please God, let the
Ninja Turtles be on this boat. I mean just as the very.
Dragon Turtle. And just at the front of the the
ship, which seems odd, especially from your case,
Hamilton, you see somebody at a stern at the front of the ship
and they would be yelling off in your direction.
At this point, you can hear just the faintest.
Pull the sail. Or stop and sailor's beat.
To us. Yes.
Frantically looking around. And you see their guns are
ready. I look at cat running.
Their guns at us all. Oh, I'm still below deck, but I
heard this yell at after flopping over.
I'm going to just like hurry up and get up at that, make my way
to. It probably be a really good
time to blink, OK? It's that time.
Hamilton try. To compose himself and look the
cat like. All right, Captain, make the
call. And they just called for us to
let Luke drop our sails and come to a halt.
They mean to take us. Well, it's.
Either we give in to them boarding us peacefully, or we
attack. There is.
Full boarding. I didn't roll like crap today.
Yeah. No, you already rolled
initiative bro was ready. I'm ready.
Like, no, no, it's, it's it's it's.
Just in case. Oh, we're doing, we're doing
initiatives all. Right.
Yeah, I I was waiting to see. Are you?
Fucking kidding me I'm rolling like dog shit why did I roll
twice? So the, the idea I just had
rolling to like, 'cause cause Cat's main goal is for a dune to
not be harmed. So he sees cannons being pointed
at a dune and he's immediately like terrified and he wants to
protect her. So his immediate thought is to
just like, let up the sails, let them peacefully bored and take
whatever. But he, as a chicken, was going
to sneak downstairs and like shove into his bag of holding
all the stuff we were going to give to the queen.
OK. And then he himself attempt to
conceal the fact that he is a sentient chicken and has a bag
on him, and maybe that they would overlook.
Him. That would mean by the
transitive property, you had to appoint somebody as captain.
Someone else as captain. Yeah, 'cause Aduna only takes
orders from the captain. And if you need to.
Look on. Something so that nobody.
Talks to the kid, nobody talks to no God.
I mean, I think I could think thanks to her we could just
continually communicate only through thought.
Or does she? Is it only a one way
communication like that? Do we have to speak out loud to
a dune? No, you can speak to her in your
mind. Well, then I'm going to speak to
a dune in my mind, and I'm like a dune.
What should we do? I don't want you to be fired
upon. If we let them board you do.
Do you think they'll leave peacefully?
Because I also want to take her choice into this.
Like, if she's just like, no, don't let them board me, Let's
fight then. Yeah, that's what we'll do.
But. Did we ever get a Dune a turned
into an airship? That's what we're heading back
to Swerquitis to do now. But I can make her fly.
It's it's it's time for KIRO negotiations.
Cannons could only aim so far up.
You would know this as a seafarer.
Not that I'm telling you as this.
Our hands on. I was in the leveling up because
we just had a lot of. Pests 18 girls ready for
negotiations He's ready. I don't.
Like panic leveling up, this isn't fun.
I still need cats initiative as well.
Oh. No memento, good show. 13 I
think I. See, yeah, so I'm going to think
to a dune and I'm going to be like, communicate with the
others as best you can. But what if you think, if you
think boarding them, letting them board peacefully will do
you the least amount of harm? Is that what we should do?
Or do you want to fight? Or should I fly us out of here?
You're talking directly to a dune to ask this question?
Or are you talking to the crew through a dune?
I'm talking to a dune, but I'm letting her relay the
information that she wants to relay to them.
But yeah, I am asking this of a dune.
Adune would just answer with fear.
You could almost fear her feel if she were talking in a voice
it would be quivering and she would just go.
She's never seen the a ship this massive, let alone one that's
being that's on top of a giant turtle it looks like.
Wait, it's on top of a turtle? It's on top of a turtle.
Correct, there is a turtle underneath of what looks like a
ship. And the turtle drive and the
turtle is not made of wood. Like they didn't just make a
giant wooden turtle to be like cool kids or whatever.
Correct. Parlay OK 'cause that's what I
thought we were looking at, like artisan pirates or something.
New IT is a live turtle. Can we request parlay?
Is that a possibility? Well.
If we scream. If we scream parlay.
I. Told.
The others on the ship and I'm like who else who has experience
with this? I was like I am severely lacking
here. Hiro is a ferryman, so he.
OK, so not you, no. No, no, definitely not me.
Hamilton's going to step to the starboard of the ship to take a
pee. I mean.
It's not me, I don't really loud with this.
You couldn't hold this or just piss your pants?
It was more of a sign than anything.
Who else? Does.
This, yeah. Could you hear him yelling at
me? Yeah.
I mean, yeah, his.
Starboard and and the and the opposite.
Yeah, nautical terms. The right side.
Yep. And he said port, which is the
left side, just just for everyone.
KIRO, yeah. KIRO has the, you know,
negotiating experience. Like he's a soldier.
That's what a ferryman is. So he has negotiating abilities
now. You guys can also, if you're
doing that cat, I'm I'm guessing you're turning to the crew and
you because you said you were, you weren't below deck
necessarily, but you weren't. I ran back up to the deck once I
heard him yell out. Right.
But you wouldn't exactly be close to everybody.
I would, I would say because I think KIRO, if I understand is,
is up here. On the helm.
Yeah. Oh, you're on the helm, so
you're back here. OK, I'm way zoomed out.
Hold on. I was zoomed all the way out.
But yeah, I would say I ran out of where the cabins are, you
said in the castle. Yeah.
Oh, OK, So you were you were back in.
Yeah. So you were back here.
So he's above you up here, KIRO Hamilton said.
He's over over here on the on. That's the port.
Making a pee. Making a pee.
Also, did you say starboard? Sorry, starboard.
That's what I thought you. I thought you said that too.
But then in my brain was like wait a second.
Anyways, after I and then there's a Nora U.
I would have come up with the commotion, but I'm probably like
right where cat is as well. OK, OK, I would know if you're
coming up from below Deck. So this is oh, well, that's the
thing you we keep saying below Deck.
That's why I keep baby miss. It's being misconstrued when
you're talking about the captain's.
Yeah, that's what. You're talking about we're the
crew quarters, that's what I'm going to call it, crew quarters.
I came up from the crew quarters.
Because below deck is actually where a lot of the stuff is
being hauled, you know, the shipments and such.
And there there is, there is a kitchen down there as well.
But then there's a secondary below below deck which.
Wherever we sleep, that's where I came from.
Got it. So yeah, you guys are both back
by the main mast, just coming out of there, kiddos above you
on top of the castle. And yeah, Hamilton's off on the
starboard side taking up a yes, but it is your turn at rolling
the 21. Zenith fuck.
Act first. Go see, go.
Don't throw hands yet. Not Tom Franz throwing.
There's nothing to throw hands at.
And the ship for perspectives matter the point.
The prow of the ship on the Dunez port is 30 feet away, if
not a little bit closer. Just because, yeah, I can't.
I can't. It was really close.
Wait, our guns are still ready from yesterday, right?
Yeah, I'm going to go down. I'm going.
To shoot. They're going to start shooting.
I'm. Starting no, don't do that yet.
Don't do don't do that yet. Don't do that.
OK, Pat called out and asked if anybody else has, if anybody
else has experience with this. Otherwise, I'm going to cast fly
and try to get a dune out of here.
I'm going to. I'm going to.
I'm going to I. Stepped away from but I didn't
hear that till just now. I would say I have a little bit
of experience, Kat and I would say we we need to get the fuck
out of here. I cast fly.
Do not shoot. Well, it's.
Not your turn yet. Zenora, what are you doing?
I guess I'm not shooting. So you you want to hold an
action to shoot. I will go down to hold until to
hold until someone tells me to shoot.
Until someone tells you to shoot.
OK. Yep.
OK. I feel like this Canon is bigger
than me, so this will be very interesting if I do end up
shooting because everything is bigger than me.
That's what we learned. This might be it.
I'm also going to try to keep myself out of sight as much as
possible. Like the whole time, like I ran
out on deck, but I am just kind of standing there.
I'm not like flailing around. I am acting like a chicken as
much as possible. I'm just going through here.
Yeah, we'll go with this one. I think trying to remember which
one we went with. Do you have your, Yeah, you have
your broadsider on, on you there?
What's what? What did we say was the damage
on that? A lot.
I know I was trying to remember which which which of the cannons
that I went with here because I base, I was going to base the
same kind of. So most scans are four D 10.
No, the cannon damage itself is 8 D 10.
Well, that's what I thought. This one, yeah.
So it's this one here. This is just for general info.
If you are firing a cannon, this is the the stat block you'll
want to look at. I put in general chat.
And so you're holding your action until somebody says to
shoot and and then your turn, not doing any bonus actions or
anything. All right, Hamilton.
Yeah, Cat, I would say we we need a full sail and fly the
fuck out of here cuz Dune. What what are you packing here?
We we probably, you've got probably got like a what, like
an 8 gun deck. Got.
I've got 6. Three on each side and then two
ballista. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're probably packing at least a 60 gun deck or 40 at the
least. Good God.
Based off just guessing by the size of the sales that I'm.
Seeing from here, you can see when they're when I say that
their cannons are ready, none of none of none of the full array
is posted at you. It's.
Yeah, just to chase cannons around us.
Exactly. So it's it's more of a like calm
threat. It's like a it's we can, you
know, cut and throw, throw, throw the because they actually
have, I'm trying to, I have too many freaking menus open there
too Zoom back out again. They actually have.
It's not a full on spanker, but it's one of the, it's one of the
sales that can rotate in the on the backside there so they can
cut hard along with, you know, cutting the wheel.
They can turn, turn, turn. Yeah, it's like, yeah, yeah.
They can broadside is. They can broadside is really.
Yes, but they're not doing that currently.
Currently they're just calling out a hail.
Also, they do not have any colors raised.
No colors are raised is. At how ask can you get us in the
air? Like what is the rate of speed
we can go up? Once we are flying, we can move.
60. 60 feet 60 feet 60 feet per duration.
So from ocean to 60 feet up. In six seconds in, six seconds
in. 6 seconds. OK, that's fucking the G.
Force we feel on that. Can adrenaline make that faster?
Cannot. Do they perform a dash after the
fact? Yeah, they wouldn't be able to
get their cannon up that fast, nor was our cannons be able to
angle up that high. No.
Well, the top deck cannons would not not not side cannons.
But we're right now we're facing their chasing cannon and their
chasers are usually one deck below.
Yeah. So I would say.
All the broadside and then you have Lex, yeah.
Even then, if we if they turn to the broadside, we wouldn't have
to deal with, we'd deal with a fraction of the amount of
cannons they have because it's Oh yeah would be on the top
deck. And even then their range to the
angle of their cannons would depend.
So honestly, if we got above them, we would only have to
worry about like musket fire because they're not aiming a
cannon straight into the air. Oh God, no.
Unless it's going to hit something that that cannon's
going to come right back now. Yes.
And what are we having this conversation so like everyone
can hear us? Yeah, I think we will be having
this. Out loud.
Like whisper like, like whispering loudly to each other,
like Oh my God what the fuck do we do?
They're talking. Yeah, we can talk normally.
They're knocking. Far.
Away. So here I was like next to
Hamilton, like trying to go like, hey, what is our options
here? We can negotiate, we can run, we
can get blown up. What is our what is our plan?
Do we have a plan? I feel like we should just
negotiate. That's I.
Feel like we should. Fly away.
I think our safest option would to be get us into the air just
above their stern to where they cannot fire upon us with their
artillery and then communicate with them.
Sounds like a plan. Cat, Captain.
Captain Cat. Cat.
Will you say that one more time? Captain Cat.
I like this. Cotton.
Cat. Hello.
So I said we bought it. Well, get our ship up into the
air, get it right above their stone so the artillery cannot
aim at us. OK.
So we're going to do that right now.
We're not going to wait for them to get closer to us, we're just
going to fly and hover above them.
You. Probably don't want them getting
closer to us. Zenora, you're, you're a man in
the guns right now, correct? I'm just waiting for someone to
telepathically tell me to either shoot or just not shoot.
OK, so Cat, I would suggest that you make this call, get us into
the air above their stern, Zenora to pull the guns in,
close the ports so we're non threatening, and then we
communicate with them to see what they want.
OK, I like this idea. We're getting her out of danger,
which is what Cat wants. So that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to cast fly. Are we still holding on?
The fact that we're not going to let them know that cat is the
cat, the chicken is not is the captain.
We're going to keep that under hush, hush.
Yeah, that's going to be hush, hush.
Right now I am a normal chicken and we're going to have Hamilton
be acting captain during parlay. So if things go tip though I had
a. Fun.
And they? I had a.
Funner way of doing it. The captain's a little bit
underweather. They're a befoul nude.
Yeah, so if. So if things do.
Go kick well. And they'd wanna take the
captain on deck. I could hop down while Cat can
still be on the deck and still command a dune.
This is. Perfect.
The secret chicken captain. Secret chicken we're.
We're double cocking them. Yeah, they're going to get it
from both ends. What are we triple?
Cocking them I'm. Going to maybe it all.
You're going to what now? We're triple cocking them.
What's the? I'm ending it all.
No one said fire yet. And a fire on myself.
Can I stand in front of the cannon and then let it go off on
me? The other crew watching her do
this, just like calls out. Is everything OK over there?
You don't want to come over here.
Are you ready any of your actions or anything there,
Hamilton? Then before we go on to KIRO.
No, I would just use my action to pass my suggestion of a move
to cat. OK, not going to get on any gun
or anything, just making sure before it, OK kiddo.
KIRO is going to hold action to prepare to help the
negotiations. OK.
And then it would be cat. She cast fly, I cast fly.
As an action, right? It's.
I know it's. Yeah, as an action, Yeah.
Wait, let me click on it. Yeah, You touch a willing
creature, the target gains flying speed of 60.
This is for a duration of 10 minutes, but I can cast it
starting at third level and I have multiple spell slots that I
am willing to use on just fly. OK, so and you're flying
straight up, you said. Yeah, we're going to go to Dune.
Yeah, yeah, we're going to go straight up to get out of range
of their cannons. This does require concentration.
I pull out, I rip out a feather from my own wing, and I cast it
down onto a Dune's decks, and I let out the tiniest little
flagoc as again, that's not calling attention to myself, and
cast Fly upon a Dune. Just for the ease of sake matter
to we'll say a dune's turn is on your turn or you know, right
after so you you're able to cast fly the dune heeds that and you
know as well as your command more than likely and
understanding the communication that's been going on starts to
take to the air in her full ship form, everyone hearing a
creaking and groaning of the hull and vessel as it floats
gracefully into the air. You know, roll just for funsies.
Oh, just over there seems to be like a saying that creaking and
groaning all across, but she seems to hold all those.
You can tell it's perhaps precarious ish as the ship
hasn't been as a dune, hasn't been out of water other than as
a gas before. No, we flew here.
It your gas. Oh, I thought the gaseous form.
No, the gas got let go because the person that cast it
disappeared and then Cat immediately cast fly on her.
The gas lasted longer. The gas lasted about an hour,
whereas fly. So you you turned into gas and
cast fly at the same time as what I was picturing happening
in that last scenario. But she could fly as a gaseous
form. Correct, but only 10 feet.
Yeah. Per turn, kind of.
So 1010 feet per second, or six seconds.
OK, yeah, so we cast fly so she could move faster.
Faster right Yep, and that's just where my mind's at
nothing's going on right now. She's she was able to hold her
herself together more or less and being out of the water,
though, she he goes up in up the 60 feet and and and holds that
position straight up. And that was just your action.
I I know I technically went to a Dune Ace turn to to to describe
that, but were you doing any bonus actions or anything like
that at? This moment I don't think I can.
I would be. I definitely would be like
holding my concentration. Yeah, my only bonus action is to
weapon fighting and I don't even use weapons.
And I would get probably nearest the edge where that ship is,
just so that I could like constantly keep an eye on it and
be keeping like. The port side.
Yeah, keeping an eye on it and listening just to whatever I
could hear, trying to be totally alert.
As you're looking over the railing over at the other ship,
you do see a general scrambling, but you you hear, you know, a a
booming voice over the rest of it doing commanding it looks
like from the helm and you see what seems to have been them
having prepared for such scenarios.
They are not turning to turning to their starboard to your port
or preparing for a broadside as it's called.
But you do see two ballistas that almost looks like aimed up
in your general direction from a a back portion of the ship.
And I need to look that up real quick.
It doesn't look like the normal sort.
It. I'm going to call out to a dune.
In my mind, I'm going to be like, move away, Just move away.
Well, she used all her movement to go straight up.
Quick, everybody flap. All right.
OK. So yeah, you guys are still most
definitely within range of that. And yeah, a couple of the crew
fire those off and as they come closer at a zinging pace, we're
going to roll real quick, though.
What what? What am I looking at?
What's coming towards us? What objects coming towards?
Us the turtle. You'll see funa momento.
Teenage mutant is turtles. Oh, it added them together as
weird on my others. I don't know why I did that.
The one goes a little bit far. It's probably a little bit too
far back on the on their ship and goes a little bit wide out
and out in this direct towards the stern of a dune out wide
that way. But the other one seems to come
from their starboard side and almost aim directly towards the
center of a dune and the mass of her.
And you see on the end of it what not looks like, but what
does not look like a hook or any other normal ending on a large
ballista that you would normally see, but rather a seated figure.
As it gets closer, that as it's about to strike a dune, you hear
a dull thud. And just before that too, you
see a poof of mist and probably standing directly behind you, a
dune or yeah, dune directly behind you.
Now Zenora is a with another poof, a mage.
You can only I guess. You're muted.
Let's see, does do they say anything upon touching the deck?
I'm not up with you guys though. I'm alone with the guns.
Yeah, I know. That's why I'm like, I was
asking if yeah, they say anything when they touch deck.
As as as as the miscoalesce is back into their form directly
they they're not, you know, within punching range.
Currently, having gauged their best spot, they're when I say
behind you, Sonora, they're probably, you know, 1010 feet
from the the center of you just but just behind you and readied
it looks like they're they're not in a necessarily fighting
stance, but they're more of on an on guard kind of stance.
On guard, we're fencing. On guard.
If if that's if that's the case, KIRO would call out do you seek
parlay? And the the individual would go.
I've been commanded to to request a parlay, but only
between the two captains of the ships and.
Oh yeah, don't you would see? Don't we have a second captain?
Don't we have a second ship following us?
You would see probably if you're looking around down to the
South, you would see more ships down that way, couple more just
just as big. Still no colours shown, right?
No colours shown, but you would also see in the meantime too, in
the hubbub of everything, their ship, the one that is closest to
you, that that's not the ones not to the South, the ones
that's the one that's to the North, East, West, start to
roll. Oh, like.
No roll. Not fully barrel roll but you
can see what happens. The turtle.
Is the fins on the turtle pull and push so that it it's angling
its front up and starting to pull in it in its side and as as
if it's getting ready for a broadside?
Hello. How's it?
Going it's it's bad. Hey.
It's a horrible. Time.
It's not. Welcome roll initiative
wrapping. Up.
There's a turtle about. There's a turtle going to murder
us. OK Also I do want to say that
while that guy appeared and started talking, Cat is going to
fluff up his feathers and do his best to hide his torque and his
necklace. OK.
So that it is not immediately visible.
Like you would have to ruffle through his feathers in order to
find it. Just roll a deception for me
real quick then on that. Expecting y'all to be wrapping
up so I was not planning on actually.
Involved in. Anything.
So, so with him. Oh.
My God. So wait a.
Deception or a Stealth? Let's go with Deception.
That's. A big hole.
It was this deception. Yes, it is a big ship.
So the little ship. Yes.
So he said what he he said. He said that he wants to have a
parlay with the captain, right? Yep.
The captain wants the captain wants to have their captain
wants to have a parlay with your captain.
Basically. I will, I retort.
Well, not retort, I answer back. My apologies, good sirs, our
captain is a little bit. Don't you do it under the
weather? We're pretending it's Hamilton.
We're pretending the we're pretending it's Hamilton.
Remember we talked about this. But myself and my compatriot
Hamilton, we can speak with you in lieu of the captain, due to
them not feeling so well. A parlay with captains is
captain, not captain. You don't.
I don't want to send Hamilton by himself into the jaw dens.
So that's why here I was going to try to negotiate where both
me and Hamilton go to try to stand in your place.
As as the ship is, it's not like I said, a full barrel roll.
It's going up on its side. So it's like I said, the the the
the turtle under under the ship is pulling its side up to face
more towards you guys. And the the the mage that's
teleported on to the center of the deck just kind of puts his
hand to his head in size. Do you want to roll a
persuasion? Yes, all right.
I can do it. I can do it.
Please assist me. Please God.
Please, that'll be all for us to help us.
Hamilton. Yeah.
If that persuasion applied. Yeah, fuck you have, I say.
Oh. Yeah, yeah.
That's what. Fuck yeah.
As your as your guys are are
doing that to Grand Am, did you roll?
AI just now. Gotten in here and I still have
no idea what's going on. OK, initiative.
Yeah. Boom.
Lots of fuckerish. These guys hate Grand Am, I
swear to God. What was it there?
A. 9. Thank you.
So I need to figure out like how.
You've got time to figure out what the fuck.
Is going on Space Jam when Bugs Bunny jumps out of the hole and
he's like, we need your. Help.
Oh God. It me it looks like the was the.
Carol's nightmare. Sync up with between roll 20
and. Yeah, we see your roll over
here. Yeah, we see your roll like.
I like. Your.
Sheet on al on here is completely empty on roll 20.
Oh yeah, yeah, World 20. You wouldn't unless you entered
anything. Yeah, unless you'd entered
anything there. It wouldn't, it wouldn't do it.
I it automatically populates there once I've got the.
Got it all all info wise there too, everything.
So I've got a bunch of like homebrew stuff that I know Rick
doesn't want on DND Beyond. No worries.
We're paranoid about that stuff. Yeah, you can enter it.
You can enter it all into D and DB or Rule 20.
Sorry if you wanted to have a full character sheet on, on Rule
20, I'm cool with that. But going back to what's going
on there, just. How's our persuasion, Josh?
How's our persuasion? As you guys were doing that and
you, you see the mage sighing, he goes.
He basically just says. That's how you treat cock.
You're allowed to touch. He looks at.
He looks. He he looks at you hero, who's
been talking, and then just kind of, oh God, kind of looks at
Zenora 2 on the gun and then looks over at Hamilton.
Who's are you still on the starboard side then, is it?
Did you stay there? No, I came back to the port
side. OK.
So you're, you're staying not with the guns, but kind of more
closer to where where he is in the middle, in the middle of the
deck, I would guess. See, I I said that one, because
I had to go to the rest and two, to like nudge out that I knew
how a ship works. I was just making making sure
where where you're at prospectively because we don't
have a token there and so that we can you can get it in your
head when he's looking back and forth between everyone and then
all of a sudden grand am, Oh Lord, right on the deck pops
back into existence. You get the tingly head, a
sensation, and then maybe a little bit of Vertigo because
you don't you see the skyline and the horizon very far below
you. Zero nightmare made flesh.
Weird angle from where you're standing.
Although you were you stand up on a deck, it is not rolling in
the ocean. It seems to maybe be floating
above it. That again is trying to remain
as chicken like as possible. And the the maid I.
Couldn't scratch it at the ground.
Would verbally respond, but by saying I, I guess we can do
something like that. I'm not sure what kind of crap
you're trying to pull, but he's just like rubbing in between his
eyes and he's, he's like, let's just get this over with.
Could you lower yourself back down?
And then he like flicks a finger up and there's a just a a yellow
spark that flies up into the air.
If I don't end up another spark and or you don't lower yourself,
you will be fired upon. KIRO The.
Deck that is saying. KIRO just I would just as a show
of faith, have your word or your captain's word, since you are
speaking on behalf of your captain, that you will not fire
upon our vessel. We are doing this in good faith.
Now, as long as those other instructions were followed, I
can guarantee you will not be fired upon this day.
Going to slowly raise his hand. Oh gosh.
Wait, where did where did you even come from?
I've been here. OK, you ever are we in class
now? Are you?
Do you have a question? What's going on?
Begoc I'm going to slowly just start like scratching and
pecking at the ground as chicken like as possible getting closer
to this guy. Can I, can I telepathically tell
you to start lowering a dune so that we don't get fired at?
Yeah, you, you can definitely do that, you realize, because as
you focus in on the intent, your torque provides the ability to
do so. For us to I'm going to tell
Adonay to lower herself back into the water and yeah, same.
I'm going to be like, don't worry, we're going to get you
out of this. You can tell that she's she was
waiting for the captain's order there.
Yep. I'm sorry I'm.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, so heroes like
definitely speak, speak. But I'm like, I'm like mentally
and like in the back of his mind, he's mentally going cat.
And we, we need you to do this. Cat, Cat.
Dune starts going down. Cat.
You can. Grand Am's hand is going to
remain up until he is answered. And the the the mage that you
don't recognize on the on the deck there with the rest of the
crew is just shaking his head like and kind of puts his hands
up. I'm not explaining it to him.
And I'm guessing it goes back through everybody's turns.
You go off the cannon, then Zenora.
That was one of his requests. You, don't you?
Yeah, no, I will appease any request to get us not shot.
If the mage. Doesn't explain Grand Am is
going to cast beak with animals and go talk to the turtle do.
It do. It.
So. Do it.
So you're you're up here in a after a few other turns right
now, we we just finished the newest thing back from the
cannon this. Is social combat OK?
Yes, this is social combat. Talking is a free action, but
moving around and doing stuff like that right now it may be
construed as hostile actions. So, Hamilton, are you doing
anything? Riding the ship, waiting to go
to. Negotiate.
OK, kiddo. Waiting to go with Hamilton to
go do negotiations. All right, and cat.
Again, just chicken scratching and pecking and being a kid
myself around closer to that mage.
We haven't. So you you were probably
probably just go back over to the map real quick.
Commanding of Dune aid to just. These these flowers.
And she is still descending. Sorry I I'd forgot to to mention
before too. These squares are like like
'cause the dune is not five 1015 feet long.
Yeah, I was thinking she was a little bigger than that, so I
just figured she'd scale things up or.
Down. Yeah.
Well, the the the squares are about three times the size of
what they actually are. So big.
Fucking shit bro. Fuck.
All these squares make a circle. All these squares make a circle.
So 3 * 3 * 40 A yeah 160. HP Do you roll for it?
Do you take Max? You mean your character?
Yeah, for like leveling up HP. I I just let I do the average.
Yeah, I just let the average happen when I'm leveling up my
character. So as the dune is coming back
down A the the mage sends up one more spark this time and it's
green and before a dune A starts lowering.
I would guess Grand Am, you're going to the port side there to
go look at the turtle and try to talk to it.
Yes. OK.
Well, while while huffing and puffing about how the mage isn't
going to explain anything, he'll talk to the only reasonable
person here. OK.
Off the true. True way.
You you've, you've, you've made that clear.
Do you explain yourself before you try to start casting any
magics? Yes, my intentions are clear.
I'm going to talk to the turtle. OK, well I mean he understands
you're going to go try and talk to the turtle, but the the
magics is what I'm asking you. Are you explaining that before
you try casting anything? Yeah, Do you just say I'm going
to go talk to the turtle and then cast the spell?
Yeah, I, I believe, I believe speaking with animals is only a
verbal component, so. It's a ritual as well, so you
also don't have to necessarily use the spell slot for it. 10
minutes I'm guessing. I'm not going to take 10 minutes
in combat to figure that out. I didn't think so.
I'll be dropping a spell slot on it.
All right, and. You know what I don't?
Your reward? What's the what's the verbal or
is and is there a semantic? I don't have that one up right
this second I'm. Looking it up, I don't think
that one has, I don't think that one has a semantic or material
components. He's just talking.
I think it might have been semantic and verbal.
Speak with animals. One action verbal, semantic, so.
Yeah, verbal and semantic. Yeah, so.
What you doing? Gotta use your hands.
He's going to make a big like gesture like just like both
hands like how you doing there big guy as he's attempting to
cast this. But I don't even know what magic
looks like. And in this setting I don't know
what the semantic comp component would be.
The other. Thing so far we've been we've
been playing them all as anything that you can stretch
your imagination to do so as long as it still meets the
requirements of being verbally spoken and you're making a
motion. No one Finding Dory.
I don't know if you were finding Nemo where he hopped to the way.
Forward. Yeah, that's kind of knew
exactly. I knew exactly where you were
going with that. Yes.
He may not actually be saying anything, but he's communicating
with his heart. OK.
So you kind of probably just spread your arms wide then and
like touch your chest. Yeah.
Going to do this real quick just to see if his help does
anything. OK, no, I'm just putting my gut
myself in his position as much as possible, which I apologize
for in advance. As as a as a hat, hats off, but
a hat back on? What the fuck?
And is you hear that behind you basically as you feel your
clothing start to flutter and come on just doing that.
I would like to interdict diplomatically on Grand Am's
behalf. Could you possibly roll me a
What does it say here now Strength saving throw?
We sure can. Go grand.
AM. 16 Nice. OK, so he he does say if you
catch yourself on the railing, basically as you feel a strong
gust of wind just trying to blow you over is what it what he did.
It wasn't anything like, you know, fully Gale like trying to
trying to. He was just trying to break
concentration more than anything else on whatever you were trying
to do, which I'm I'm assuming that's going to have you do to
try to catch yourself from falling off off the railing.
Well, Speak with animals isn't a concentration spell, it just
lasts. Which what?
Nope. What speak with?
Animals isn't a concentration spell.
Nope. No it's not.
Nope. Right, OK, so that's what you're
noping. Yes.
And I was I was going to agree. That's where I was confused
because I was agreeing with you and then you noped and I was
like, who are you noping? So yes, I, I, I understand that
he was more so going for like most of the attack magics are
going to be and didn't want anything to to to come to when
it came to that. So he's just trying to interrupt
and if anything maybe send you into the would he?
Even notice that he was being attacked?
Or would he just think it was windy?
With that like look. Behind him, like look around,
like look at the wizard or the mage or whatever he is.
Look. Back to the turtle.
Like, is he always this big of a jerk?
So OK. Yeah, how does this turtle
sound? Well, I just I was going back
because I thought I'd remember something odd and the head under
the stern you see and a large eyeball probably they go back
over there now to the map. What did I say?
Three So like a like a 10 foot eyeball just turn and it's pupil
focuses on you in the direction that you're yelling from and you
you do hear kind of everybody else does hear kind of at first.
A low base rumble. Yeah, basically.
And you understand it though, because he was, he wasn't really
speaking, but it was more of an acknowledgement of like, you're
speaking to me. You know what I mean?
Like just a kind of like animalistic, more of like.
No, we're talking. I'd like to.
And then you feel, this is the thing I don't understand when it
says telepathy all the time. I think basically in this
particular case, it was in that in that verbal acceptance,
basically he would just be already in your mind.
You feel this a massive presence press up against yours,
basically in your head, but it doesn't enter, you know, your
mind or anything. It's just, you know, brushing
against it enough so that you can feel the enough.
Ruined it. You're good enough though that
you can feel the the immensity of this creature and it just
goes, well, I can speak from here in common in your mind.
He doesn't want to tell me what's going.
On who did I'd ask you. Oh, he doesn't have much.
He doesn't have much patience, that one.
I can tell. Well, takes the longest pause
ever, like he has all the time in the world.
You've got. Because he does.
And he just goes, I guess you should know that you're going to
be boarded here shortly by my crew are.
Very. Nice.
We can't hear this conversation? Nope, we're just adding shitty
commentary. Yeah, this is only two grand
here. And he doesn't.
Do unless it's telepathic. We can hear them just grunting
at each other, but we wouldn't be able to understand it.
Yeah, it's all telepathic at this point because yeah, he he
he does. You can tell that that that and
everyone else can tell that, you know, the conversation is
morphed somehow because there's, you know, their eyes are locked
basically. But he doesn't say anything else
than that to you, Grand am like, he seems like that should be
enough information for you. He says are.
You cool with this like whole being a boat thing?
Oh, I love it. They feed.
They feed me well. All right, that's chill.
So when you say boarded like are you guys pirates?
They think. They like to be referred to as
free traders. There doesn't seem to be a lot
of trading going on right now. There should be once they're
boarded. Is there much bartering and
haggling involved in this trading, or is it all at the end
of a cannon? Oh, no.
Usually they're quite reasonable.
They like to make friends. OK, I'll look back at everybody
else, The turtle says. They're chill and then I blink
out of sync. Here I was attempting to keep
composure composure. OK.
Yeah, that was all. Yeah, out of you're not doing
anything else with your turn then just that that was your
action and. Catching the spells, my action.
Yep. Yeah, exactly.
OK. And that was just the reaction
of the wizard that landed on deck.
So there would be some more commotion on on the back of the
the turtle or on top of the boat.
However you're perceiving it before you guys are lowering
yourselves. Oh, that was Cat's turn too.
So a dune would have been lowered at the end of Grand Am's
turn for sure. And the the cannons on the
opposing ship are all drawn in it seems like now, or at least
lowered so as not to be as threatening as it pulls up to
their starboard and along your port.
They ready a rigging and some planking to get over to the over
to a dune. As you guys are settling back in
the water in a dune kind of size, that's much better being
back in the water in everybody's mind.
Basically, I mentally apologize to her while still acting as a
chicken. So.
Well. The the wizard says it,
everybody's ready on the other boat.
If you're ready over here to go and have some bothering, we
won't even board you if as long as your negotiations go well.
I guess you just said it's kind of lazily and it's like.
We would appreciate, we would appreciate grand am raises.
Very much again. What's that?
Grand Am raises his hand. Again, so we're and then down at
the Nora. Maybe she'll be able to answer
it. Don't look down on me bitch.
He's like, say that out loud are.
You guys usually open trade with guns?
He Are you saying that out loud, Sonora?
I wouldn't say the bitch part. I would think the bitch part but
I would say that don't look down on me.
OK. He just kind of like drug and
then like look at himself like standing at like 5-8 and then
look over at you and it's kind of shrug.
That's if, like he, he's at a loss of what else he could have
done in that situation. But.
Everything. Everybody's rubbing it in faster
than all of you bastards. And then and then just rolls his
eyes. But so are you going to answer
his question, whatever it is? I can start to fulfill him in on
everything that's happened while the negotiations are going on
you. You do anything else while he's
kind of getting Hamilton for Hamilton and.
Hamilton, Hamilton. Hamilton.
And. KIRO ready to walk across to the
plank to the other ship I'm. Doing nothing.
I'm good before before before KIRO rolls out he'll he'll
actually kneel down and whisper over to Zenora.
If our negotiations seem to go poorly, you do your absolute
best to break free and get out of here safe.
We'll join you if we can. Who are you saying this too?
Sorry, I missed that. Says Zenora.
He he kind of kneels down and whispers that over to her.
OK, if things go poorly. If things go poorly, cut bait
and run. She acknowledges with a nod.
All. Right.
So who's doing? I'm just going.
To do that what, since I'm right next to him, I would have heard
that correct. Yeah, Yeah, you guys are.
Hamilton. Hamilton what?
Just Hamilton crazily digging through his pouch?
Ah fuck, why don't I have this in my notes?
Does Hamilton have a soul spike? Yeah, yeah, you've used it to
place it on a Dune's deck before too.
Yeah, so it's on a Dune's deck right now.
OK, so scratch what I just did, no.
Worries. No worries, I understand.
And I too looked as an orange say yeah, get the ship out of
here to safety if if things start to go tits up.
Another acknowledging nod. And.
Being a chicken in the background, but a thought goes
through the torch like you bet it.
We're definitely going to get her out of here if it goes bad.
That's when the wizard just kind of starts, all right?
Kind of like taking his hand and chew.
Chewing motion. Let's go.
Oh wait, who's doing the talking here?
Lanalton because he is acting captain right now.
Damn slowly raises his hand. What?
Was that good, Sir? Who are you?
Yeah, as we, as we. Yeah, we told you that we're.
We're standing in for you, Miss Miss Befouled Chicken.
Who are you? Who are you directing that
towards? Finalton.
Cat wait about like sending the ship off or who are you talking
to? Yeah, who?
Are you doing right then? You.
Oh. OK, as the wizard.
About. About you're standing up.
Wait. You're the standing captain.
You are pretending to be captain while I pretend to be a normal
chicken. Yeah.
OK. So it was.
Have another drink babe, I was doing the talking.
I will. That's it.
That just makes me, that just makes me the liar because I just
told him the captain is under the weather and they agreed to
bring both us on. Yeah, that was what was said.
OK, Yeah, yeah. So we're we're we're get our
story straight and like through the telepathic little torque.
We're Co first mates and we're speaking for the captain.
And I'm guessing you're going to direct that question mentally
also towards Grand Am who you're going to be like, who?
Who's going to be like, whoa, wait a second, we can talk to
each other with these things in our minds?
Oh no, I'm in. Trouble.
So yeah. Don't give it away, it's a
secret. I don't you don't have to say
anything out loud. I would just sit just I was just
probably maybe overstepping exactly how your reaction would
be. But Kira was just explaining the
situation telepathically to to everybody that has a torque
because that's how it's the one of the other features of the
torque other than long range communication, like a
walkie-talkie. This thing will actually work
too connect you mentally over long ranges even.
OK, sorry. I so.
Got distracted by real life for about two seconds.
No worries. No, I did not mean to link that,
all right. So did you?
Did your hand go down after you heard that explanation?
Grand Am. He was just raising the hand
whenever he was as he was talking, and then as soon as
everybody would glare at him, he'd lower it again.
OK, yeah. So, all right, human half elf,
that's actually what you are, right?
All right, the elf's doing the talking.
Come on, you first get on the on the plank and then I'll follow
behind the large dragon. All right, I start.
Talking. Excuse me Sir, half of a dragon.
Don't besmirch the Dragons like that.
Yeah, yes, yes. Come on, let's go.
I don't have all day just like. Made a tomato.
Held at gunpoint here. Start walking down the plank
nonchalantly. All right, you get on to the
other side like. I'm doing.
And you guys all see two on the other ship that her her decks
are full. So there's a full crew on all?
Teenage YouTube Ninja. Journals.
What do we say? 5 S Math.
Oh dude, I'm going to pray for turtles until until Josh makes
it happen. Turtles until it happens.
Yeah. So like, yeah, the the there
were at least you know EIN. So there's there, there are more
on the on the other ship. There are a quite, quite a lot
of what are they actually called in this universe?
Dragon turtles. No, no, Franklin the Turtle, the
portal. The portal.
Yes. Yes on the ship, but there is
easily over 100 of them that are just manning the deck and.
That makes I can give my son even earlier funnier.
It's like a bunch of fucking Koopa Troopas.
There were if it's. Bowser.
I just ran some quick figures on this too.
So there were 15 guns on this side actually and 15 on the
other side. And each one of them were
manned. So everyone is, is seeing that
those the guns are lowered, but there's, there's potentially
poor people inside and more turtles manning those as well.
And the the turtle captain, you can tell just because of the the
flamboyant dress, greets you from the other side with their
apparent mate standing at attention next to them.
And Hamilton, I know you were always sort of flamboyantly
dressed, but I might want to want to elaborate on that
because of the the the captain does you a bit of an honor and
tilts his hat, takes his hat off for a second as a greeting, but
doesn't say anything at first. As a noble elf, you'd have
outlandish clothing. Of course.
You look fabulous, geez. Are you a high?
Elf I descend from a high Elf. He could.
But I I was a bastard from 1/2 elf.
Oh interesting, Daddy was a whore.
Mommy was a whore. Oh no, I thought you belong to
your dad. You're right, I do belong to my
dad. Daddy did that's.
Why you still inherit? Inherited your like noble
lineage and he just hated you because you weren't pretty
enough or something. Anyways, so walking onto deck,
Hamilton will be dressed and a blue, almost purple garb.
OK. Pants and coat with a white
undershirt. A white belt wrapped around his
waist inside of the coat with gold in I want to say inlays.
Embroidery. Yeah, like along the edges of
the coat. You gotta say embossment.
With the the flipped cuffs at the coat at the hands, but you
would also very very much see the mithril plate straight on
the skin. I have the clothe the clothing
over the mithril plate. Yep.
Because ham glove. Yes, because I care more about
my appearance and my protection. But protection is also extremely
important with go ahead, almost like a like a Musketeers hat.
OK. With with the the the feather,
the pompadour, with the purplish blue pompadour matching the coat
out of the side very much. So fancy, So fancy.
Yes, very much saying that like just from the appearance would
be this isn't your everyday seafarer, this isn't something
you would see just like your normal.
Ship and. Yeah, ship and wearing right, so
it would boast a higher status. Are you well with with that too,
besides just taking the hat off? I guess he would sweep the the
hat down and he he's got a full on you.
You probably I don't know exactly what that I keep.
I keep it in mind as like a a captain's hat, but I can't ever.
I'm sure it's called something else.
The tricorn. No, not the tricorn I'm talking
about. He's got the kind of think of
Cap'n Crunch. It's it's a dual corn for a less
for a lesser term. I know what you're talking
about, but I can't get the name of it.
And yeah, I can see it in my head.
I just. And then he takes that off
though and sweeps it down and does kind of 1/2 bow with a
slight knob in your direction. I too will take off my hat and
give a bow. KIRO has no hats so he just bows
great respectfully. And and the mate the does
something similar on the other ship.
Trying to mimic your bow as much as possible.
KIRO all right, Well, welcome to the ships of.
You said ships, plural. Well.
Yeah, sorry, the the ship of because there's more ships that
that have stopped to their advance it seems like after
they've seen the sparks too that are down to the South.
Remember, however, he he Kobusan ship.
Welcome. My name is Gebuksen if you may.
I'm sorry, one more time. What was that?
Gebuksen. Yeah, must say because.
I'm tight. I I heard gay books, son.
Gay books, son. Gay books, son.
I'm. Assuming this.
This is a. Hat.
Yeah, all hats off. You guys are repeating that over
and over again, or I'm guessing in your own heads at this point,
'cause this is a very, he's at a very formal like port point
right there where he's saying that and just does the greeting
and say. May I know?
Who I have the pleasure of speaking with and crew that you
represent. KIRO again, you know, repeats
the bow. I am Lieutenant KIRO Kampachi of
the Rum Rollers. And glares at you.
Oh. Oh, he doesn't like talking to
lessors. Please, please forgive him.
This negotiations are new to his stand.
As I take off my hat, my name is Thomas Hamilton of the Rum
Roller. I've heard of such a crew.
This must be the Fame de Dune then.
I you are correct. Well, this is a pleasure.
I'm eavesdropping through the torque.
Yeah. Can we hear this?
The torque. Yeah, if, if Hamilton so allows.
Or I told work. I do like give the torque a
little flick as I'm as I take my hat off to put my hat across my
chest, I flick my torque. And he just continues on with,
well, I won't take any recompense on your lesser
talking to me first and out of turn, I'll let you handle hit
your own ship in affairs as it were.
But on my ship, everyone defers to me.
And I would talk first, as it is any any good crew of a good size
needs to know who's in command. As you as.
I'm sure as I'm sure you understand.
Gyro is is contemplating hitting him really hard right now.
He just, you just he just disrespected KIRO on a very
fundamental level. So I would picture KIRO like
clenching his first and you could hear.
Like Oh no, no, his his hand, his hand is sitting right on his
his Cortana. Like I.
Oh OK, so your hand is sitting on your Cortana, but you could
hear like your knuckles like squeezing into.
The Hill. Oh yeah.
And it was by El fears Ting. I would kill that, yeah.
And I would put my. Hand.
I'd put my hand on your shoulder and be like as you were,
Captain. Detected.
Gesturing towards Sergey Book. God you're so horrible about
this name right now. Yes.
Well, I guess we'll take it the negotiations to my quarters so
that we can proceed with the trading.
Please lead the way. And they he he marches off into
instead of the usual places for things, the ship almost seems
arranged backwards. So the the captain's quarter is
in the front of the ship, right on the head, under the under the
the. Helm.
The helm, which is in the front instead of, you know, oriented
where the head of the turtle is in this case, as opposed to a
normal ship. And he opens a door to or he has
the they start walking that way. The mate hurries ahead, opens
the door for the captain. He just strolls through and the
mate holds the door open for everyone else to both of you to
filter in and as as the mate. As the mate's about to close the
door, the captain yells out to him.
Get the crew ready to depart after this.
Won't be long. And the mate hurries off and
closes the door behind him. So what is it?
What is the trades that you were out doing?
Just your your simple sugar cane spices sex pillows.
As you were. He gets a grin and he kind of
relaxes his stance a little bit, rolls his shoulders and then
takes his hat off and sets it on the desk.
Doesn't take a seat yet. Please be seated if you will.
Certainly. Certainly.
He goes, well, it's odd that I'd find you doing such a normal
run. I guess since the fame that I've
heard you've been working for kings and Queens.
And then he he goes over to a cabinet and opens it up and can
ioffer you a drink? I would be honored.
Well, I just so happened to came back from my own normalish run
and have a wonderful bootstrap molasses rum here that I'd I
would like to have another that is probably well versed in taste
like yourself. It seems to take part in so
lovely. He pulls it off the shelf on the
top there on corset with a satisfying and goes over, grabs
a couple glasses from under his desk and sits him out.
That unusual for me to have a privilege of such.
And he pours yourself one and pours himself one, and looks
over at KIRO poignantly with a smirk and holds his glass out
for Hamilton to cheers him. I don't like this guy, he's a
Dick. Going so hard.
We should kill him. Hamilton You, you, you, you,
you, you. Wait till he realizes he wasn't
speaking to the captain. Hopefully he never realizes
this. Yeah, everybody.
He's he's totally the show. Hamilton's totally the captain.
Yeah, yeah, no, your elf ears here the the Suba guard LinkedIn
away from the sheath. So our our sitting situation I
imagine where me and me and KIRO are sitting on one end of a one
side of a desk while gay book is on the other side of the desk.
Squad. He is standing on the other
other side of the desk and he just poured the glass and he's
holding his glass. Up to you for a cheers.
So as we're sitting there, I I will have a relaxed stance, one
arm down, relax onto the shoulder of the chair, the other
arm up as if like to talk with my hands with.
OK, I see what you're saying. In As I hear Kiro's tension,
I'll pat my hand on his on his leg as I grab the glass.
The cheers. If this where is your hand going
on his just? Just like right on the knee, pat
him like hey calm down bud, we're good.
If this tension is at all obvious through the torque Grand
Am would like, I would like to have grand Am ready in action.
Go ahead and roll me a perception with disadvantage.
OK. And KIRO now.
We're going to say, can we tell how 10 things are?
Are you doing this with a full intent of letting the captain of
the other other ship see this, or are you trying to be stealthy
about? Oh, no, he's he's trying.
He's he's trying to keep his shit together.
On one hand, he is, I am, you know, a representative of my
captain. I am not going to dishonor my
captain. But the other part of him is you
are disrespecting me and dishonoring my name.
I should cut you down where you stand it.
He's he's fighting right now and he's losing Card.
So, yeah, and you'd said you were starting to pull it out.
So you're pulling it out, it sounds like slowly so.
Thumb break so so so yeah, his thumb is on so.
Thumb breaking, OK. And he just, he just looks at
you over the top of the glass as you as you, just as you cheers.
And I I guess keeps his eye on Kyoto as he's taking a, a, a
swig off the glass. And are you doing the same?
I let's take a little sip of it. Not a full on swig, just a
little. Just a little taste.
And you get all of the notes that he talked about of this
Hardy blackstrap molasses rum that been fully aged.
You can tell as in it, it's not it's it's not even got a a
little bit of a bite. It's almost like drinking candy.
Like drinking what? Candy.
Andy. Andy.
Oh, Candy.
With AC OK. I heard Andy.
I'm like, I've never drank an Andy before.
Sounds salty. Well, yeah.
And he just he just keeps his want it almost like he's, you
know, kind of keeping you can tell a a bit of attention on you
kiddo, but it's still only secondary and he just speaks
directly to you. Hamilton and going a good, good
vintage, don't you think? I like take a sip, I pull it
away from my mouth, I swirl the glass, take a big sniff of it
with my eyes closed and I took two minutes.
Aye, unlike any I've ever tasted.
Yes, we've been over to the aisles in the far West.
They make quite a lot of sugars there.
So where were you getting yours? Your sugars apparently nowhere
near as far as it's a a small, quaint little town known as
Titty Spring. Well that's got a lovely name.
I think I might like to pay a visit there for another reason,
but I haven't haven't quite had the pleasure.
You did say it was small though, so perhaps I will look it up
sometime. Well, I'm to business I guess.
Seems you're. He looks directly over at Yukido
at this point. Mate here, can't wait to get it
underway. So.
Oh, he can't wait to do something all right.
Will you please take a minute so I could go to the restroom
again? Yeah, you gonna need.
Me you got. Damn, I got a you.
Gonna need to be here. I need you here, Amy.
I need you here. So you, you, you could either,
you could either do that or we could call it now and start the
negotiations on the next time you're around if you think
you're going to be around in two weeks for it.
How the hell this captain if you.
Don't. I will try my damnedest.
I can't promise anything with the way work is going.
Yeah, I understand. Just be on for the negotiations
and if you have to go to bed early then you have to go to bed
early. If anybody wants to chip in, you
can just like, you know, PayPal me and I thought I'll just call
off. Yeah.
He he does not want to see Kira go Hackity, hackity.
Yeah, someone's got to be here to calm him down.
Not that I'm saying that your your intentions are completely
wrong, but in a situation like this you got to keep A level
head even if you are being blatantly disrespected.
Oh yeah, that's why he's doing his absolute best.
Like that's why it's only a thumb break at the moment.
I can't see that. Happened to the last person that
disrespected Grand Am so. Yeah, let's not.
Yeah, but. In this situation, it's also
good that I am. I'm Flint.
Yeah. And and not Hamilton because
Hamilton wouldn't be familiar with such negotiation when Flint
being a very veteran seafarer. Right.
He is very familiar with these kind of situations.
Oh yeah. God, I can only imagine what
Hamilton's thinking right now being with the other guys,
especially with Ezra trying to eat everything.
Oh God. What Phelan's already.
Feeling that way. Help.
At the same time, the whole situation would have been
different in my head because if I was Hamilton, I wouldn't have
been like, ah, this is what we should do with this situation.
Right. Hopefully I'll see you all.
Next week hopefully I shouldn't have to work.
Yeah, hopefully not. Yeah, that's not a usual teacher
thing. No, yeah.
But it was good to have you on, at least for a little bit.
I know I've had a lot of fun. Are you talking to me or him?
Both. Yeah, I that I was, yes.
I'm gonna say you've been on with him and stuff, but it's
been nice, haven't you? Thanks.
Shit. Like honestly, it's been about
two or three months since I've been on.
I know you should. Complain.
Have this been that long? Really.
Jesus, Vince gets his fucking magic card nights.
You should get D&D Nights. Well, he gets Thursdays off
Wednesdays is price changes. So that's that's a big day.
Like, I have to go in at 5:00 in the morning to get price changes
done before the store opens. Yeah.
And we're still in the whole situation where nobody wants to
work because, well, we're tired of getting paid slave wages.
Oh yeah. So I have to do like, it's
pretty much just me and Vince running the whole show.
Yeah. Hey.
In the meat department. Yeah.
Yeah, that's that's a bubble that's gonna pop eventually for
some people, I think, but. Hope so.
Yeah. All right, but it was fun.
I can't wait to negotiate next time.
Yes, Sir. Good night.
Good night.
