Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the campaign.
Allelopolis, the Hand of Hi, Craig.
Our father is the. The Hand of Fate tosses.
The dice rolls, spins, turns. A campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that become stories.
Stories flow out into the infinite sea, painting with
legends. Legends wash up on the shores
throughout the infinite sea, fitting to myth, until myths are
forgotten. And again, the Hand of Fate
tosses dice, rolls, spins, turns.
Hitherto we left our adventurers known as the Rum Rollers, having
just left the Infinite Tower after a nap in Dune and this
hard discussions and some galactic spaghetti sauce, right?
This all transpired after they'd had if they'd already rescued
sorcerities from the losing their magics to the mana thieves
who were coming from the deep oceans and began being rewarded
with a flying Adune and a bag of 1% shareholding for all interest
in the cure that helped those regain those the people that had
lost their magics from Shondar the Red Dragon's Breath.
With plans to take down the professional micromancy Culp,
the Rum Rollers take flight to the Lava Tower.
On route they meet with the Goddess Zenith and God Lono in
their draconic forms, a amethyst and gold dragon.
Prospectively, the Goddess of Knowledge informs the Rum
Rollers that they should begin their path to ascension at the
Peninsula of Choy and warns against facing the PNC at this
time as they've set fully encamped in their space for a
while and have plans to break the seal on this Galaxy, or
rather solar system, the star shroud that keeps other powerful
entities out. They plan to do so by leaving
the Planet tariff to go to the moon Igdras, which is the now
the Green Moon and the second moon that circles tariff.
Once there they will build another base making it easier
for their travels to the edge of their solar system.
The Rum Rollers are now faced with the choice of becoming
Gods, decide to try and contact another plane via Grand Dam who
breaks some sort of intergalactic law, thus
summoning a spaghetti monster who immediately punishes them.
Rather tries to with a high proof spaghetti sauce moonshine
that immediately inebriates anyone who drinks it and removes
their powers for a certain amount of time.
Which is when the Rum Rollers decide that it is time to take a
nap and visit the Shadow Seekers in a pre arranged meeting in
Ishimel's tower. They begin negotiations on a
amicable outcome for both groups who they know are tied to each
other. This point from the Eurythmic
veracities and in those negotiations it has come to that
Kira will protect Franklin for 100 years.
With that at by that time Franklin will be LED into the
afterlife by KIRO along with other details.
At this point, the Rum Rollers are waking up on a dune inside
the crew quarters, and there is one character that probably
decided to hang around in the tower just for a little bit,
Nimaway and Agonon, who are hashing out details from having
recently been reunited during the Eurythmic Veracity.
Let's find out what happens this time.
For anyone that is unaware of Nimoy and Agnon's back story,
they gripped together in the same royal household.
She was the heir, he was a childhood companion.
Curiosity kept around to occupy her time.
As he got older, he joined the household staff and also
secretly became part of a rebellion group out in the town,
seeing the injustice around her. And Nimoy ended up colluding
with him to plot the peaceful overthrow of her own family.
And it was supposed to be bloodless had it unfolded as
promised. The actual night ended in
disaster, with a lot of the staff that she had grown up with
dead around her and not really knowing what had happened.
She in part blamed Agonon. It was a time where they could
not really have a moment to talk and explain.
He had to run and he she had to formally exile him for his own
safety. So they've spent the the past
few years her hating him and also missing him and him hating
her for not letting him explain and also missing her.
Then with Eurythmic and the blending of minds, I see it as
the ultimate empathy, where you fully see the other person's
perspective and they're where they're coming from and I don't.
I guess I see that is them fully understanding each other in that
situation. So they'll spend the probably a
few hours discussing what happened that night, how he
didn't know what the rest of the rebel group had planned, he was
kept in the dark, and how he wouldn't have never have let it
happen the way it did. And then her explaining that her
actions were in his best interest as well even though it
hurt her. And then of course again, if no
one has read that back story, she ended up having a child.
I want to say probably 7 or ish months after the rebellion, but
he never knew about because he was gone.
So they spend hours discussing their son and what they plan to
do when they go back home, how she'll safely integrate him back
into public view and their plans for basically repairing his
image and trying to live the life that they they've wanted.
And yeah, that's what they're they're doing before they decide
to wake up. All right, well, do we want to
roll initiative to see who's waking up first, or it is
everyone just waking up slowly together here?
I'm fine with the letter. Yeah, we're going to have to get
AI know that hero isn't in the camp pile.
Very sad. Order brackets.
No issues. Wrap up and wait the floor or
doors from. So wait, this is the yeah, these
are it's it's the good campaign, right.
So that's where I'll so does OK, we're we're still like so we're
in a dunes new, right, like big, beautiful renovated self right.
So we can all kind of see each other, right?
Yeah. So yeah, you guys fell asleep in
different locations. Nimaway and Grand Am look like
they were in the common room where the couches were.
Whereas Raro was over watching Cyro who and well his brothers
are over there watching Cyro who had been mixing up some stuff to
try and recreate the intergalactic moonshine and.
I get any sauce rules. Rahul and mommy are actually in
the hammocks the the actual sleeping quarters so as are in
slightly different locations but still all within easy range of
each other. I start yelling for assistance.
My siblings come over and they lift me out of the hammock,
bring me downstairs. They dress me and they feed me
and they bathe me. What We discuss.
Hello, Captain. That was an interesting meeting.
What? What do we do?
We're on our way to PNC, but we've also been told not to, but
also have a secondary plan. What?
What do you want to do?
Yes, sounds. Like A and then yeah, I think we
should discuss. Yeah.
So Nimoy wakes up across one of the couches, probably dress all
rumpled, hair in disarray. She sits up, kind of confused,
looks around to make sure no one is there to witness, and
promptly starts smoothing her skirts and running her fingers
through her hair and kind of composing herself.
What does she see? Grand Am?
Is he like like strolling on the floor drilling?
Grand Am is directly across cross legged looking like he's
watching her be disheveled when in reality he is just sleeping
with his eyes open. I imagine she's starting this
routine before she notices him and like as she scans the room
she sees him and almost flies out of the the seat and again
looks around to make sure you're sure no one saw that.
Eyes do not follow. She kind of leans forward and
waves her hand in front of his face a little bit.
Probably with a sound of snoring following.
He's like groans as he stretches and then for the first time
ever, you see him blink normally.
She jumps again, kind of takes a step back.
Good morning. Hello there.
Are you feeling well? Have you, have you recovered?
Do you remember anything? Am I still drunk now that I'm
back? I I, I wouldn't say so.
Actually, I I may have started off the session if we'd been the
last time around, but since we skipped a session I figured time
moves forward and you guys were. Yeah, it's a damn shame.
Oh, splendid. At least at least you you, you
got through this hole. I have a bad idea.
Do tell. So where's the smart people?
I need people that know what the Hell's going on.
I will not take. Offense at this.
Not that. No, I've been here for a while.
You've been here about as long as I've been here.
Understandably, that's why I will not take offense at this,
but I believe they are still awakened.
We should go and fight them. What you say what what the first
grand? I think the first grand AM is
hearing about this, like actually hearing about this
contract was from this meeting with the PNC.
Like he kind of heard about it whenever the zombies showed up,
but he didn't really understand it and that he was a part of all
that bullshit. Yeah, probably after Eurythmic
veracity because he had the mind meld with his with all, all of
cells there too and hearing everybody else talk about it.
Like you said, that's probably though when the Rawls are coming
in. I would guess to to get
breakfast to find breakfast from a do name.
And one of them comes in and hands you guys like a very
intricate, ornate, elaborate breakfast invitation.
You get 1 every morning. Oh, it will never not bring joy
to the more, particularly if it's nice stationary with some
Oh yeah. Grand Am thinks it's part of the
meal. Gold leaf.
Oh yes, God damn, you're not supposed to eat, you know?
I've had to go to edible gold delivery because of you.
You know, because I care about your borrow bowels.
I don't know, you just keep eating gold.
I and I appreciate your answer. Not that rich.
I walk away. She leans over and kind of under
her breath, asks him does it taste good?
Tastes like breakfast. No way.
Covertly rips off a little corner and dries it wouldn't
make sure it tastes the only. Way with the cupcakes.
Can it please taste like cupcakes?
Oh yeah, I don't present it. She's pleasantly surprised.
It tastes better whenever I decide to eat it as a silver
fish. Creative.
So is it? Is.
Earl. Is Earl still here?
I can be. I was just trying to I was, I
was collecting people for breakfast.
So if. You walked off.
I feel like we would have followed if you left.
Grand am going to takes like a big handful of bacon, shove it
in his mouth and then walk up to rural and with his greasy
fingertips like reach up and gently touch his cheeks just
like to grab his face. Why did he tell me about the
contract? What the contract?
The one with the fucking necromancers.
Oh, was it not? Presented upon arrival.
I yeah, I, I, I mean, I'm in the same boat as you, man.
The only one here who knows anything about it is the
Admiral. I requested the contract when I
first arrived and read through it before signing.
You signed. That didn't.
Sign it. We had to.
It's like an automatic thing. Yeah.
If you stick around, you automatically.
I didn't actually physically sign it, but because I stuck
around I had nowhere else to go by default.
Can can we Even so we show up? Can we even do anything?
About what the contract? About the people, like do we
have to like, do we have to go become girls to even fight them?
I mean, do we have to become different people?
Yes, I'm confused. There's the PNC and they are big
in the bad. Yes, we technically are part of
them. Yes.
That was the default contract when you first arrived.
Yes, You were spawned in with the contract.
It's I know it was terrible. It's like you you come in and
you'll just all already have this contract.
It's contract, yeah. We were not presented and now
I'm question can like what is our objective?
What are we doing? Are we just going to go cause
problems and then get our souls ripped out of our bodies?
Well, no, that's, I think that was the genius of Franklin's
plan. They're going to do it, not us.
They were part of the PNC. We we gave, we gave them what
they needed. And now we need to probably I
don't now hinder them. Or and we are we allowed to
hinder? Does the contract say anything
by hidden? I thought no.
I do not believe it said anything about not hiring
mercenaries. Servitude, shared goals.
I have a student. Mima.
Mima is going to like saunter closer.
At this point, Mima is like gotten out of their hammock and
stretched and like done the things.
It's just like walking over. So like, carry on the
conversation just to the. Amazing.
Project. I've got a stupid idea and it
might work. Here's the Admiral.
I've got a stupid idea. Please share.
All the stupid ideas, we should hear about them first to for the
record. For the record, I also did not
so so as the rum rollers signed up for this contract, right, Not
necessarily us as individuals. So yes, yes, you, you agreed to
the contract because you are a rum roller.
I also did not explicitly ask for this contract.
This was also something that was a shove.
No, I was not, the rum rollers decided.
Are there anybody here that was? Previous in in like a version a
previous it like iteration of the rum rollers.
Like bad. Idea.
You exist like the black. Company.
I existed, I was not there. The day they they interacted
with the PNCI came back in the PNC, we had talked to them and
there was a sting sign right 'cause that was the around the
time of the cake incident. Yep I have an idea and it's
batch shit but the contract? Says.
I mean the batch shit idea might be the thing we need.
We're bound to this thing and it becomes null and void when
everyone, including a dune, is dead.
No, we're. Going to drink some Kool-aid.
I have a spell that makes us come back as different people.
Different how? Same brain, different everything
else. Basically, Grand AM is proposing
that we kill ourselves and cast resurrection to become different
people. I guess then the question is, is
it the bound the by balti? Like what is it connected to?
And like because for resurrection work, you die like
it has. To be looks at grand am was
like, could I be tall? I can't make any promises.
Arguably taller. This is a bad idea.
Before we kill ourselves, so we should make sure this is a good
idea. But also looking over the
contract like the only other loophole I can possibly see is
that we just take off our torques and stop calling
ourselves the rum rollers and leave it behind.
Well, the intent was anyone who has worn the torque.
Take it off, throw it over the side of the boat.
But we have worn it. So.
Yeah. But like how does one quit the
rum rollers are bound? How does one quit the rum
rollers? That is an interesting question.
And I didn't even join the rum rollers intentionally.
I was put here. It's.
Kind of for all of us. It was kind of like join for one
day, one adventure. Me, me, me, me, me.
I like what is an adventure really.
I'm still on my first adventure. I haven't participated in more
than one. But you all have stayed, right.
Anybody could have left at any time.
You've all been here. Don't, don't.
Don't act like you haven't, Drew.
Hamilton left. I was not informed of a fucking.
Was everyone not informed of the contract upon arrival?
I was. In the small print, no one, all
of you just hit except to the terms and conditions.
Nobody read shit. Don't lie to yourself.
But he presented me with shit. I was chased up, amassed by this
big fella and then I was welcomed aboard and that was
that. I was like, oh, OK, I'm excited.
I'm a. Do name I?
Sat outside that suspicious closet for an entire day reading
the contract. While finishing up some of the
breakfast that anyone would want and or is asked for and she
goes. I have had a little bit of time
with the contract. So I do know some things, but
that first one I would like to draw your attention to perpetual
servitude. Yeah, it's an edge.
It goes beyond physical death and binds the servant's soul to
the principal's eternal will of. Course it does.
I. Think the Death 1 might be out?
I'm also not interested in dying.
Oh, thank goodness. I mean you did just have a kick
ass makeover. I don't blame you, Aduna.
I wasn't saying but when you're dealing with shit this like this
where like even the loopholes aren't loopholes because the
contract can rewrite itself apparently like.
PNC is powerful shit man, that's why we made a deal with them
instead of trying to fight them the first time we encountered
them if I recall correctly. I heard they have a direct
conduit to God. Yeah, me too.
So what if we just go the other way?
What do you mean? Like do we have to confront the
PNC? Can't we just like, run away?
Running away is always an option, right?
Part of me doesn't. Like limited to the inside the
solar system currently? I really don't like the idea
solar system. I mean, it is until they leave.
I don't like the idea of leaving up the future of this entire
multiverse to that other group. It seems super trustworthy to
me. I'm.
Unaware of where my home world falls in this multiverse, so I
don't. I'm not a fan of condemning this
one either, because my home might be in it, right?
So I mean, OK, because does the contract?
Punish us for. Doing something against the PNC,
right Where, where? What are the limits of our
actions? Because we have yet to be
punished for killing those vampires and.
We've yet to be punished for hiring mercenaries, right?
So maybe if we as long as we don't physically act against
them. Well, I guess we attacked the
vampires. But do they know?
So they're not omnipotent? They must not know that was us.
I. I haven't found anything in the
contracts but explicitly stating such.
I think the the the the one thing I would draw your
attentions to is item number 5. In the event of dispute, both
parties agreed to mediate in good faith.
I don't know what that means, but if mediations fail, the
matter shall be resolved by righteous combat.
So there's always that. Righteous combat.
That's fine. So it sounds like having God
powers would be very helpful. Sure, but.
I already agreed we would. We would be gods.
Then. Some of us have already signed
another contract that says we won't do that.
Oh yes, I. Like we just need to stop
signing goddamn contracts. I did not sign that I do plan to
proceed to godhood. Yeah.
So how many gods does one need? Can we just have one?
If Dimaway becomes a God, is that like enough?
Can they be the patron God of the Rum rollers?
I mean, the other parts of the contract we signed was that then
the gods would be leaving and never coming back.
I'm not. Going to change for one trade
do. It does it one of us.
Becomes yeah, if one of us becomes a God, do we like just
displace 1? So like if five of us become
gods or five gods displaced or is like is like a one winner
takes all. So the way that I had it written
down was that the second contract was that we would
negotiate, either in good faith or through force, that all gods
leave this solar system and never return in any shape or
form. OK, those contracts are forbid
the pursuit of being a God. I believe that's what we had
agreed to. I have.
I have a draft. Grand Dam is green Dam is cool
with becoming a God and then just leaving once everything's
done. True.
I mean, that's true. I mean, if, if the end result is
that we need to, we need to vacate this solar system by the
time it's done as a key factor in the in the second contract,
then could we ascend and then immediately leave?
We have autonomy so long as we don't dispute shared goals.
Where is does it discuss the mutual domination of all worlds?
That is their goal. But where is that discussed?
Anywhere else? Mutual between who?
The shadows. Yeah, What if we just take over
leadership of the PNC? We could.
That could be our new goal. We could just infiltrate and
like rise up in the ranks of the PNC and take it over and change
their goals. Well, here's the thing.
If we are in the already in the PNC, if we kill all of the PNC,
who's in charge? Us.
Are we then no longer the rum
rollers? Have we then transitioned from
being the rum rollers to the PNC?
I think we would be. We are still the rum.
Rollers and. The Wish faction but we are now
the only and leading faction. And we have a copy.
Of and then we could just let ourselves go.
Do we have the copy of the Necronomicon of Eternal?
That that contract. The no the.
Necromial Darkness. False Franklin.
No, here no. Or sometimes referred to as the
employee handbook. Yeah, that's the one that
Franklin has. Wait, look at that.
You can. You can literally look that one
up. I think that's the thing that
you can look up. Yeah, unless I created that as
well. That might have been something I
created. Let me check.
I might have done that. Grand am now wants to know like
what the internal of like what the pro procedure is.
For. Like acquiring higher ranks
inside the PNC. We just have to like, join the
join the organization, work for them, work hard, aspire, rise up
through leadership. After 30 to 40 years, we'll be
in middle management. Do we have to like, is this a
pull yourself up at your boot shelter organization or is this
a like very Sith like keep what you kill kind of organization?
Kind of keep what you kill, but now that you're part of it.
So just loosely speaking with my understanding of it so far, it's
there's there is supposed to be. That's why they had asked for
those sacrifices, because there is supposed to be a division of
spoils. Item number 4.
What am I looking though? Oh, an economic.
We we have, we have actively attacked them.
That where does there is? Is there something that's
against that? I don't remember at this point I
don't. We're not allowed to act against
their interest. Yeah, their interests are.
We can't move against them dominating.
Our interests. OK, so here's the deal then.
If we are allowed to fight them, if acting against the interest,
if we personally believe that the current management isn't
doing a good enough job, then it is in the interest of the peens.
Rest out, throw them so that we can.
Yeah, 'cause at this point like we are the PNC, right?
Yeah, OK, OK, OK. Y'all hear me out here.
Hear me out here. We become gods, take over the
PNC, and then to abide by the other contract we leave.
And to continue to abide by this contract, we go begin to conquer
other worlds. Yes, but wasn't the second
contract included stopping the PNC from leaving?
So if you become gods and you're the PNC.
You're breaking both contracts. And can't leave.
Oh, do we like RIP a hole in the space-time continuum?
Is that how we? Is that the end?
If you're the. PNC, we can release ourselves
from the contract, yes. If you become a CEO of the PNC,
you can release yourself, yes. And then we can dissolve the PNC
and then we can leave. CEO PNC then.
Is it? Yeah, Then we wouldn't be.
PNC, if it's what you kill, if it's keep what you kill, then
that's pretty easy. Let's do it.
But. OK, OK.
But that brings us to the question, how do we kill them?
Yeah, except apparently they're like mega powerful.
They're a real big bad. I could still become a God.
Yeah, who signed and who did not?
So what is the deadline on like becoming a God and then leaving,
right? Do you like, is it like
graduation where you graduate and you hang out for like a week
afterwards, like stick around? Or is it like you immediately
ascend to godhood and then poof you're gone?
Do you need a copy of this contract?
The, the agreement was, was that the, The thing is that we're
caught between 2:00, right? You could ascend to godhood if
you were just on contract one and never leave.
But if you sign contract two, you're duty bound to try to get
them to leave and never come back.
This is the only copy of the contract it it it has been
proven to be indestructible. So let me find the one I wrote.
Or Shia who originally did signing did come back at one
point for a brief time and tried this route.
So if I become a guard and everyone is duty bound to try to
get me to leave, the contract just says to try to get me to
leave. So just periodically they could
ask nicely and that fulfills the contract.
But it also says through negotiation or violence.
Or they could still choose negotiation.
Sure, but like if negotiation doesn't work, I mean they can't
just be like. Why not?
Is it in the contract? Or is or is exclusive?
It's not and or Yeah. Let me find the one that I
wrote. I found it now.
The Necronomicon of Eternal Life is at the the last four or so
pages of the contract. It explains the core tenants of
the PNC ethical guidelines Interplanetary domination
strategy. There's an.
Ethics and beyond. I didn't.
Realize that the document went past the signing by the.
Yep, that's where I was getting getting confused as well.
I, I knew I'd done something with the Necronomicon now that
you mention it. And those are two separate
things. So the Necronomicon is like
their like employee handbook, like how to be a part of the
PNC. What if we just interpret
everything in the Network Comic Con wrong?
I mean, religions do it all the time.
Yeah. Oh yeah, do all we have to do is
just read 1 sentence that we want right and then?
Out of context, twist it a little bit, tell stories about
it that aren't necessarily true, but we believe that they are
true. Translate it across a few
different languages so the nuances of those words are lost.
Yeah. Have a split reformation.
Split again because someone wants to have a divorce.
I have an idea. OK, OK.
Embracing myself 'cause the last one was kill yourself.
The part of the He's granddad's just sitting there with a cup of
coffee and this big old tome of the Necron.
Some reading glasses on the tip of his nose.
So one of the core tenants that we have to is that we like goals
to like strive for is forming alliances with powerful
necromantic factions. In the other, like an integral
and an intergalactic. We just got in trouble because I
called my brothers. What if we trick them into
calling my brothers? And then what?
They get summoned. They get the Spaghetti Monster
summoned to them. Kind of like convince the
Spaghetti monster that these people are breaking
intergalactic law, aren't they? Oh.
That's their plan. They're planning on breaking
intergalactic. Law.
We can just cattle on them. Hey, that's true.
I mean, you could call your brothers again, summon that guy,
and then we just be like, hey, where we did this?
Yes, but we're calling you to tell on these other guys.
Or could I just cast the spell trying to contact the same
spaghetti monster that called me that came to me?
Ring ring calling him on his home phone number.
I'm off duty. At this point too, Dune rolls
out a giant looking seed that was the remnants of what Mimi
had eaten after Lono had given you a grape and and says I did
find this because I think this you asked this question Admiral.
And she points to the face of the seed which has a map to
Troy, Choi Hoi and or the Isle of the peninsula of Troy, the
place you need to go to if you want to ascend.
And a little note from Lono that's kind of inscribed into
the seed as well and says I believe that you could demolish
the PNC at your current states. But be warned, Zenith is right
in her fear. They have amassed a lot of
power. The warning I have truly is if
you were to become gods, there will be a acquiring stage
lasting potentially years that you're in some sort of stasis
when you gain your powers. How to go into a cocoon?
So wait, OK, so like if we even if we want to become gods to
stop this thing, we would have to go full Zelda and like hunker
down for 100 years or whatever and then let them do whatever
they want. Don't aren't they we on our
timeline, right? These guys are about to escape
our planet and then the system. We can't.
Wait, Hey, guys, guys, don't, don't worry.
Lono believes in US. It's like the take away message
we make. It's from reading this we get
like really excited and just like real red, just a big smile.
It's like Lono believes in US. Guys, we can do anything.
Anything. Who?
The fuck is Lono? The best guy ever.
Silently goes over and sits on a couch and she's lost in thought.
You need some sort of time dilation thing to make this
possible. She looks up.
If I have to become dormant for two years, I can't do this.
We'll have to develop a plan that does not involve me
ascending. So I'm sorry, there's a big ass
seed. Yep.
I'm going to go check out the big ass seed.
What is the big ass seed? It's A and and enormous grape
seed from evident from just purely looking at it.
It does have a nice round shape to it that is alluring even to
if somebody were to catch it out of the corner of their eye,
being that of some sort of essence it seems like.
It's a sexy scene. Yeah, very juicy.
Nice and round. Where did we get this from?
On on the on the backside of the seed, Lono has inscribed juicy
like that, written in that font from Victoria's Secrets that was
across. It even has a tramp stamp.
There's a nice seed, you might say.
Nice and round. Nice and thick.
So it's just a big, there's no way it's just a big grape seed.
We should plant it and see. What that a big that a big seed
showed up out of nowhere? Too much for Grand Am to take as
a coincidence. With a message.
He peddled him big weird seeds. We know someone who liked the
big weird seeds before he was a squirrel.
He. Where's the seed?
I guess I could put a representation.
Yeah, a dune aid. Rolled it out from somewhere, so
probably in the kitchen area somewhere where you guys were
mostly gathered it seemed like. How big are we talking here?
One moment loading. So there's this other there is
the other option for how we handle this situation and it is
the option that got presented to us.
We hope we put them, either one of us or someone else on the
ship with the PNC as they launch off and we blow them straight to
hell from there. But I thought we were warned
against attacking them so early. No, not attacking them.
I'm saying what do we know about their movements?
The they are all going to pack aboard this ship of theirs, this
spaceship, and leave from here and travel.
And I point up the sky, through the sky, through space to the
moon, right? Where is the best time to hit
them? Not now, not in their place of
strength, right? They have been there for a
while. They are strong.
We can't wait for them to get to the moon.
That would be too late. You hit them in transit.
This also relies on travelling in one ship.
Do we know this? No, no, we don't know anything.
We're all, we're completely guessing right now.
We don't. We need more information, but we
need someone on the inside, and the only way to do that is to go
to hell itself. If only I knew how to cast cast
legend lore but I'm a fucking druid.
I hold up a business card. We have a direct link to the
other team. We could talk to them but he
don't know if you guys trust them or want to cooperate
because their idea, not saying it is the one we must do is that
since they are not part of the PNC they could you know, take
actions against them to stop them from leaving in the
disturbing more worlds. I believe correctly they could
probably get the board and launch the giant holy bomb that
we have, but that relies heavily on trusting them.
What if we launch the holy bomb first?
From the outside, yeah. I think the idea is you want to
do it the inside the ship so that like, you know, the
airtight water tight ship completely fills with holy water
and then everything dies. If you shoot it from the
outside, which is where we are, it will not be so effective.
I mean, all we have to do is like poke a hole in the ship.
Yes. But I guess I don't know, I
don't know their ship, right? Could they block off sections of
it if you know they see us coming?
And because we only have, I mean, that's.
A great option. We could sneak a board right and
do this, but right now they are in hell and we would have to
wait for them to literally escape just to have the
opportunity to do this. I'm OK with coordinating with
them. Hats off.
What does what the grim rollers call the people in hell?
Shadow seekers. Shadow seekers.
Sorry. I'm OK with coordinating with
the shadow seekers. Adjust at least a few.
I mean, biggest thing for them is they likely want to get out,
right? So if the PNC is trying to also
leave hell, and they're trying, and they start to infiltrate the
PNC, that aligns with their interests, and then some of them
leave hell when the PNC leaves and one goes aboard the ship.
Only one. Or however many as needed.
That was the original agreement and I pointed.
The contract that I posted was that the PNC is exploded from
the inside. So once they stop them from
leaving the solar system and we kill all of the PNC, then the
next part kicks in. But their idea was, you know,
sneak a board, blow it up from the inside.
And I don't think it's a matter of trust.
They've signed a contract. They have to cooperate.
So. It is a complicated situation.
It feels like the path is already laid for us by the
contract we all agreed upon, no? I'm I'm going to be frank.
Hi, Frank. Hi.
Hello, Frank. Agreed teamwork with them.
Don't trust him that well, but then again I had to trust him.
It's weird that that dork fella lives partly in my mind now.
Sucks to be him, contract be damned.
My soul gets wrenched out of my body for doing what needs to be
done. So be it.
I'm not going to sit on my ass or wait on that.
Do something. So I say we go in.
We play by their fucking rules 'cause they have these rules.
Tell you what, one of my favorite things is breaking
those, and we fight them in every way we can.
We instead. Oh that's a big seed.
Holy fuck. Also, delay.
I like the delayed reaction from him.
He finally looks over. Whoa.
We go in, we get it, the arguments as we can.
We because we're so we're a independent faction.
We get into as many arguments as we can.
Can't resolve those arguments because we even though we went
in with faith, we kick the other person, we instigate as many
jewels. We make it living, we make it
chaotic on the side, we drive them to fucking madness until
they have to do something about us as soon as they need to.
We cast, plant, grow plants and I point at the big ass seed.
At least I do. We miss, we miss sitting there,
raising their hand this whole time, just sitting very
patiently, but just like hand in the air like a like a a second
grader that desperately wants to speak.
Yes. Think we need to plant the seed?
I can do that. 1st May I then way comes over, sits on her
heels and starts transcribing the map.
There's a map on this cave. Yeah, Inter drill.
Big seed. Yeah, let's plant the seed.
I'm always down for planting big seeds.
It's probably too different way when you pull out your own map
to look at it and realize that in looking at this map it
propagates onto this onto your godly map.
Well, that's handy. Well.
Technology, man. Magic.
We should sail across the ocean,
find the new lands that the map. Is beautiful.
Come sail away. Come sail away.
So I guess I'm I'm a little hesitant to go in guns blazing
in case we're not powerful enough at this point, Dhoni
seems to believe in us. That's what.
We, the Dragons cautioned US against us.
Well, Rono believes. That's why we.
Go in guns blazing, we go in to. With silencers.
No. We go.
We go in as the wish. Fact.
We go in as Karens. Yeah, we go in as the wish
fashion and then we pick a fight with individuals instead of
everyone and work within the bounds of their holy justice war
fighting thing and we kill as many of the leaderships as
possible. So hats off for a second, Josh.
Is there a calendar year in in tariff right now?
Do we know what year it is? It's been discussed and I think
we would basically be at 55 AB, which is like after the last
breaking. 55. Yep. 55 years after the last
breaking my mother, she was there in the breaking of the
world. OK, so guys, we'll call it
Project 56. We will systematically take over
the PNC. So there's the Wish faction.
What other factions do we know about?
That's it. I mean the big army of zombies.
Wasn't it any interrogation? None that you guys would know
of, just had so. If we could do this, we'll have
to redecorate the ship so that we fit in right and all wear
cool black outfits with with hanging chains and gothic stuff
right to be cool. Do I need eyeliner?
Costume change. Sorry, I misspoke by Go.
In, I mean magical girlfriend. You don't want to fight them at
all. Oh, I meant I'm I I'm not sure
we are strong enough to even pick fights once we enter
peacefully. I hope we are.
We have to. We are cautioned.
By gods against this. I think we were cautioned
against going in guns blazing against the towers.
I wasn't going to go guns blazing anyways.
Destabilize the base and then cast Earthquake.
I think the idea is this time, instead of going in and, you
know, trying to root them out from the outside like, like
Helm's Deep, we treat them like. Moonrise Towers from the Baltic
Gate video. How do I know about that?
He he, you were. You were.
Matt. Yeah, he would actually have had
a memories of that. Yep, Yep.
Headache in the Nosebleed. Welcome.
I hand you some ibuprofen. There's a big bucket in the
corner. And here I was thinking that
this was going to. I thought it was This is weirder
than being almost identical to thousand other people.
Really identical. Nimaway remember something about
trying to find moonrise towers and something about a beholder.
That's it. We get a beholder and we let it
loose. Grand AM pulls out a pokey ball
guys. Yeah, that's right.
Not just of any pokey ball. Guys, I have an idea.
Oh, that's a cool ball. What's your idea?
Is there any? Would it be acting against the
PNC if we found a big powerful thing, put it in this ball and
let it loose in the tower? We really believe in our hearts
that we're not acting against the PNC, right?
You just got to say it enough until it's.
It's in it's, it's the, it's for their own good that we killed
them all. Project 56.
That's totally it's. The rule of the it's the rule of
two, right? You know, we're, we're like Bane
and we for the good of the PNC, it's there should be only one.
Faction. Our faction.
Also the council be really mad at me if they knew I was
working. That counts.
The Council. Oh if they like a housing
organization. I hate the HOA.
We tried to paint our house bright pink once and they said
no. It's more for the moments like
this where there's people trying to do things they really
shouldn't be doing. Multiverse.
OK, OK. Isn't that what the spaghetti
monsters are for? Yeah, I guess.
Those guys, if one of them comes again, we catch it in a poker.
Am I in a different multiverse? That's not a bad idea.
That's brilliant and. We released and then we just.
Yeah, with that idea, Graham Dan was 100% casting contact to
other plane. Wait, Lee.
Rodge. Hats off like Pokémon does the
ball give you control like mastership of the creature that
you catch? No, you got to get all your
badges and conquer the the Elite Four.
Yeah, got to beat the Elite Four, man.
I mean, if if you're going to build that mechanic into being
able to control the creature in the poker ball, we got to, it's
got to be in the world, yeah. If you're going to put the.
Restriction on you. You have to make us be able to
do it. Part of that restriction.
What would you use it on? God.
Would be being tied to being a God gods.
Are tricky. Could you catch a God?
Gotta catch them all, Gotta catch them all.
Pokémon. I want, we want.
What we need is we need to catch them all.
Well, we have the giant squid monster.
He still lives. In the basically we have two
Pokémon. Yeah, we need at least 6.
Josh, are you saying that there is a way to control the creature
you catch? Josh, are you saying that
there's a Pokémon league in? I'm serious here.
If you're going to build this restriction and describe a
mechanic to get around the restriction, the mechanic's got
to be real. Oh yeah, there, there's there's
definitely something like that. The you guys, I'm trying to
remember if any of you were running the game we're.
Now, Pokémon trainers. Sorry Socrates, we're off to the
Canto region. Only if I get a cold out.
Where's? Professor Oak, that old dog,
it's him and my mom. Please, if your mom is mom.
Gosh, you don't have to answer now.
Something that I could could build.
But yeah, I mean, that is something that I would put as a
restriction in general for the, for the, for the monsters that
are being captured because especially when it comes that.
We can't control is much different than caption one.
We can't control. Exactly.
I mean, it'd be like that. That's that's the analogy.
And purposefully so that like, if you were to just get a
Charizard right off the bat, you know it's going to fuck your day
up. See Giant skeleton monster in a
cage in the other game. Yeah. 0 control over that thing.
Yeah. Just keep feeding it the corpses
of the dead. Hopefully one day we'll be able
to release it. So that's a lot more like
falconry. So really, we have a, we have a
Raptor, right? It's not our friend, but if we
like feed it enough, maybe it'll start doing our bidding.
Yeah, so, Josh, I need a mechanic about how we can work
our way up to controlling any creature that we catch.
Like what do we got to do to build that skill?
The. First set I have is about be
within range of RCR. Yeah, if you don't want to sit
down. Next to it for a while.
Let it get used to your presence.
Probably read to it for a while, maybe try to walk it around the
yard. You did, I think.
I think we're good. Truth.
I think where Jake's heads at actually makes a lot of sense is
where my brain was going with the second part of it.
It'd have to be based upon your character's level, basically.
And the and the Lion link. Yeah, well, that's a good point.
I mean, they would probably just be a have to be a successful
animal handling at some point because that's kind of because
that's kind of how thinking back even farther, that's how Thea
some of you guys might remember that name actually only Olivia,
but anyways, got Gunther to be her familiar.
And if you remember when you got your cricket, that's how you got
your cricket. There's a successful animal
handling that was involved. So yeah, I remember that because
I reached out to them with my mind and asked them to be my
friend while they were eating me alive, so.
It is technically possible to control the spaghetti monster if
you roll high enough and you're high enough level.
Look at me, we're the space police now.
Wait, didn't we? Didn't we get the ability to
someone? Wait, someone has the ability to
always roll 20s during a session?
It's. True.
Who has that? That would be Who was that?
Well, I think the only other thing that happened, if I
remember correctly, is Rick and George, and Rick won that, so
that'd be a Rick. And we need to know if a 20 plus
his animal handling bonus is even enough for the DC.
Right. Which you wouldn't just know.
Yeah, and I would have to tell you, you got to fuck around and
find out for that one. That's what I'm saying.
Like there's 'cause you could make it something astronauts.
And I like a. 50 or something, No risk, no reward.
Imagine trying to sound like you call 911, summon a police
officer to your house, try to arrest, try to kidnap the police
officer and fail. What do you think's going to
happen? So.
True. Circling back around, Is Faust
actually passing this? It sounded like well.
OK. Technically it's an automatic,
we will arrest the police officer, we will catch it.
The question is can we control it if we let it out of the ball?
That's the question here, not. The question is, do we need to?
Yeah, I think there's two. Yeah, you can either.
You can either huck it at the PNC from a great distance,
right? Also, Grand Am is a druid, he's
going to be fine. Dude go get yourself Flying
Spaghetti Monster. It's cannon now, baby.
Heart of the Cards. It's heart of the cards.
Happened to one of my characters.
It just pulls off all right. It's the most fitting thing
ever. Yeah, Grandma is going to get.
Actually be. Grand Am's going to go up on
deck and try and cast a contact other plane again.
We should go capture sexy Satan. I'm going to go stand behind him
and eat popcorn. And in the prose, yeah, going to
ask that they find a way of that.
The Council find a way of getting here because he needs
backup. I need maybe he's going to stand
right next to RARL and also eat popcorn.
Oh, here. This one, before Jackson, the
Spaghetti Monster, we should first tattle on the PNC because
maybe we don't have to control him to do this.
Maybe he'll just go and punish them.
If punishment is making them drink booze, that's not really.
Yeah, that was a great punishment. 10 out of 10 one of
the best race. But if they drink the booze,
they'll lose all their powers. Then that might make them weak
enough for us to conquer them. So if we make a deal with, we
ask the Spaghetti monster to strategically do this when we
are poised to strike. So you know how we have the holy
balm full of holy water? What if we replace it with
spaghetti sauce instead? Or what if we make 2/1 with holy
water and one with spaghetti sauce?
What is the? That's not the bad idea.
It it you lose all your magic. Oh, right, that's that's the
drink, right? Yeah, that's a solid option if
we can get a jar of magic spaghetti sauce.
An endless jar of magic spaghetti sauce.
It's not actually booze, it's just something they excrete.
Sounds delicious. This is my excrement.
Just tastes like they're just. Bacteria.
And if they intend to continue breaking intergalactic law,
maybe that warrants a different punishment than just the sauce.
We should ask these questions when we summon him maybe.
They get the cheese grater. Here's the other here's a here's
a wrinkle. We summon the Flying Spaghetti
Monster and we say the PNC is trying to escape this planet and
they're committing crimes. We're the PNC.
We're the Wish faction. But we're still part of the PNC.
We'll be it like, what is the risk?
But this thing will be like you are also guilty and then attack
us. We can't snitch on them without
breaching. Snitches do get stitches.
Right. Well, it's not a physical.
Accurate. We would have to have the other
team do the snitching. They they don't have the ability
to call the spaghetti monster. No.
Can we call the spaghetti monster in the infinite town?
But you grand am, you can call your other version of you and
they can call. I thought that's what called the
Spaghetti Monster. No, but the problem is he can't
be the one I pointed our grand AM.
He can't be the one to tattle. He can't.
It goes against their interests or whatever.
The Grand Am's do view themselves 1 entity for the most
part so he could contact them and like it's not tattling if
I'm just telling myself. And I don't see why we can't
tattle. We've already hired mercenaries
and attacked vampires. How is this?
Any different? That's fair.
I mean, we don't know. We can't do that vampire
attacking. Yeah, we did that.
What? Yeah, we attacked vampires, I
thought. Yeah.
Ow. We're not the dead yet.
I flew out that. We hired mercenaries.
Yeah, I think that's the point. We've already sort of breached
the contract, so tattling is not any more severe.
Of a breach of contract than we've.
Already done. Does the contract bind us or do
or they like what does? The contract just says that we,
I don't know. I mean, it says that if there's
a conflict and they can't renegotiate it reasonably with
good faith, then holy fighting. And I'm confused about why we
haven't faced any sort of retribution or even questioning
about the things we've already done.
And knock on wood. Nobody's looking out for a snoot
on Grand Am's cat. Roll for it.
Oh, OK. Or Grand Am's going to act.
That's good. I'm getting me a spaghetti
monster, dude. Let's see here.
What do I need? Hand out the popcorn.
Nimaway is going to watch from afar.
Thanks. OK, all right, I look around.
This campaign is crazy. Mean it's going to look back at
Nimaway and be like, but the popcorn's great.
All right, need to make an intelligence save.
DC-15, let's go. Actually, no.
Let me read the whole gun. They also bring up those stats I
wasn't expecting this turn of events.
I. Feel like Josh says that every
single. Time.
Every Tuesday. Wasn't expecting you guys to
take this obscure thing and just obsess over it.
The one time I DMS the plot point that my characters were
supposed to get their quest from, instead they threw them
into a river. So much from that.
My favorite in character moment I've ever had was I was playing
good Franklin in the first game that I had created him for.
It ended early, but the DM was trying to hand us like plot
information and we had just killed a bunch of enemies and I
had been sorting through their armor and gear and ran across a
dagger that had a loose handle so you can unscrew it.
And it seemed hollow. And everyone was like, oh,
there's probably something in there.
And then my character being like 0 intelligent, 0 Wisdom was just
like, oh, let me just tighten that up for them, tight, tight,
tight and Chuck it into the pile.
Yeah. First I'm going to send cast
message to or not message, but sending to my brothers and
sisters that is a percentile. Basically, it's a 5% chance that
it doesn't make them if they're on another.
Plane. Oh, a 5% chance that it doesn't
make it through another plane, so you're not casting planar
communication this time. Oh, I'm going to cast that too.
Oh, OK, so you're casting both? I'm casting sending to my
brothers and sisters, which is what I should have done.
There's probably female grand Am's.
Yeah, I'm sitting, casting, sending to the council and then
we'll try and commune with the with the spaghetti monster.
OK, so you're going to try and contact this the OK, I see what
you're saying. Calling the police.
And you're sending first. So you're sending does seem to
go through as it doesn't have a direct contact portion through
it. So it doesn't seem to trigger
anything. I don't, I don't know if you
have that, what you're sending through that you're want to say
or do. That there's like some really
major like and he could use and I could use some backup.
And also if anybody's like an expert in cosmic law, if we have
any of the the law branch of the Council on on retainer, I could
really use some help. A message does come back to you
probably then before year you cast the plainer thing and it's
just communications are limited at this time.
The council is outside of your range of regular communications.
We can do minor things, but summonings are not part
basically. It's very specific.
For other languages, press 1. Other languages are like deep
speed chint. Bush rings of ocean.
Alright, I guess I'm going to reach out to an expert on cosmic
law directly. There's a Fox language since it.
Is sending. It's more of like a text based
thing and you get back a, you know, a text message that's
like, that's like attending what do you need?
Brother, my name is Raul, how can I assist you today?
I'm going to send him like of the full length of the contract
and ask if there's any way to get around it because like, I
did not like I've been subjected to it, like against my will.
Yeah, did not consent and really need to be unconsented, do
unconsenting things. That sounds bad.
You you get the three dots of that.
He he's typing. Yeah.
And then and then the dots disappear.
And then the three dots come back and then the dots
disappear. Then the dots appear and then he
says this will take some time. A thumbs up emoji.
And you get a yeah, I'm trying to, I'm trying to dial into my
inner grand am there for you. And you probably, you'd probably
just get a, a, a middle finger back probably.
That was rude. Left on red.
It's a bong world. And then I'm guessing your
planner contacting like you said and trying to specifically.
I need to go to that too to see how this works now.
I roll in intelligence save and if I succeed I get to ask five
yes or no questions. We did it wrong time end it.
Well, I don't think it went through last time.
That was the part that that. Yeah, it went.
That's true. That's true.
Cuckoo for Cocoa puffs, so. But it could work, do it and be
made. It's another hand called
popcorn. Intelligent Save.
Boom, be smart. Be smart.
Maybe like intently staring at
you, Yeah. I think that does it right
'cause you get a. A new 15.
Oh, yeah. All right.
You mentally contacted did OK, OK, OK.
This is the Inter Atlantic police.
So I'm not allowed to call other dimensions question one.
You've reached the intergalactic hotline.
The first question you have asked is you're not allowed to
contact other dimensions inside of the Micropolis solar system.
This is accurate besides limited to minor texting and or similar
attributed legal counsel. Are you allowed to host to host
intergalactic conquest from the Micropolis system?
This reads so much like somebody looking up how to build the
bomb. Intergalactic conquest at this
time from the micropolar solar system is not allowed, although
if your star Shard system is inhibited it may be possible.
Yeah, Star shards, Star Shard system. * Shroud.
Star shroud system OK can I get an officer at my location?
I missed that. Can I get an officer at my
location? Oh, it's only #3.
I'm running out of questions if somebody gave me more questions.
What's the velocity of an unladen swallow and?
There's a punishment for continuous, intentional intent
to break into intergalactic law that is beyond spaghetti sauce.
Can. We get a jar of spaghetti sauce.
Or in London, Yeah. Can we get a jar of spaghetti
sauce? What's the rest?
And Oh yeah. The rest?
Has to be yesterday I. Don't know if we want to know
that I don't want. Maybe instead of?
Can we get because then they can answer no Ask how can we get a
jar because then they have to answer that.
But it has to be how? Can we get a jar and then are
there other God damn it? And then there are there other
punishments besides spaghetti sauce, so.
Let's see if I can get an officer here.
Yeah, that's fair. We can ask him as many questions
as we want. Yes, an officer could be sent to
your location. Is there a crime being reported?
Yes, yes, and it's sensitive in nature.
Cannot be trusted on this line. I see this all just like crowd
like like crowding around him, just like like whispering and
commenting and just like egging him on.
Yeah, shoveling popcorn into my mouth.
Shoveling into Grand Am's mouth. 100% Grand Am's eyes are open
and they're just like voids as he stares into the incident.
I start throwing Grand Air popcorn at Grand Am.
Oh shit. Oh shit, hello.
At that, at that, I got what I had.
A meteor streaks across the sky and plops in front of a dune
who's been hovering in a Bay above the clouds.
We haven't even moved since he last slapped our wrist.
Guys, flops. And thanks.
For coming back. We had more questions.
Once one arm you only guess because he holds it up and waves
it back and forth in a non threatening gesture.
I've been. In the air like you just don't.
Care. I've been reported that there is
a crime. Yeah, I legally can't talk about
I like because of like contractually can't talk about
it. But if I were to leave this
document here for you to inspect and read, could you do that for
me? The whole the the whole where he
is apparent I is that's kind of robbing, but also kind of meaty
shaped and kind of closes and opens and then hovers closer and
peers down at the document. We may like whispers over like.
Quick, while he's distracted, throw the pokey ball.
You're going to let him do his thing, Cook.
We have more questions and he couldn't just help us.
Add the Most Spaghetti Monster cook.
He goes this document could be used in intergalactic court, but
I cannot prosecute anyone based upon this.
I would need to catch them in the act of said transgression.
Would building a giant rocket ship to go build a space base be
a transgression? Negative A space space is
acceptable inside of the solar system.
What if it contains technology to then leave?
Check. Sure.
It isn't accurate to say that their technologies would be only
intended for leaving. Their technologies could be used
in any shape of. If this contract can be used
illegally, like the basis of this contract is illegal and
integral law, is there anyone that can make it null?
Certainly if you assign yourself in inter intergalactic lawyer
lawyer there are ways out of contracts of any sort can.
You just imagine a billboard popping up and materializing
like, do you need representation?
Call the hammer. That's exactly what happens.
I love that. Yeah, let's go.
Were you subjected to a contract against your will?
Call my law firm. I can only imagine you could not
afford them. Or as he pronounces it,
Bloodman. All right, can you recommend a
good lawyer? I've already contacted the
Council of Grand Ames, but they seemed a little stumped by it.
A good lawyer they don't seem. They don't seem to be the police
force around here, which might be.
A good lawyer is. Maybe telling?
Fairly undefined in the sort of search of the word lawyer.
Can you recommend a lawyer who would be effective at nullifying
this? Call Saul.
There are such inside your solar system, but they are off planet.
Is do you mean the gods? Colloquially, I believe that is
accurate. I'm.
Not feeling like a rigged system.
Can I make a religion check? Absolutely.
Who would be a good God to get this contract nullified,
assuming I don't know any? Local God.
I yeah, like I don't know any local God so.
Also don't forget all they're all of them are gone.
Have you seen it? We've basically got a bell
jammer right here. What's your problem?
Pokey ball, Pokey ball, Pokey ball.
Been helpful though. I say his granddad throws the
pokeball. That could be more helpful.
You. I'm going to need an animal
handling. I know that the Pokeball.
Is just catching him? Does catching him off guard give
us any advantage? The master The master ball,
we've determined is an immediate no save guarantee catch, but the
animal handling. 27. The animal handling was whether
or not he's going to come out of the ball.
In a good mood? Hostile or friendly?
And you see the ball fly through the air and he just goes, well,
guess I'm coming out later. And he goes.
Ching ching, Ching, Ching. And the ball floats back over to
you with him inside it. Wow, you just.
Yeah, you. Just kidnapped the international
police agent. We are the Pokémon Masters.
Are we the Are we the good guys or the bad guys?
Yes. At this point, I don't know.
We do have the contract talking about intergalactic you know, we
could just invade the universe instead.
Yeah, we could. Yeah.
Do we want to entertain the idea of.
What if we became the baddies? I just thought of the the
perfect line. As the ball clicks closed you
hear the faintest. I should stop answering house
calls. Don't worry little buddy, your
time in here will be insignificant in the comparison
time of immortal. So.
Also if he's a four dimensional hyper intelligent being he
should have seen honestly he knew.
If he exists in with with visibility of all.
Yeah, I mean, you're not wrong. In some sort of fashion there
was. Or was it?
That makes this a consensual encounter.
It's always. Always the thing I'll Sharon.
Does that lower the DC of the handling role?
Oh no, no, he he's so to your even though his consigned
consent, that's not the right phrase.
I want to use the like the like downtrodden attitude when he got
captured. He he seems more or less
consigned to his lot currently like.
I like to imagine that he's happy, right?
Like like this image I just shared.
He's in a recliner watching TV. Oh yeah, yeah.
I'm a big fan of. The side of the.
Ball being like paradise. Yeah, inside of the ball for
sure. But I'm I'm Speaking of when he
gets called back out. That's what Emily was asking.
Cube. That's what Emily is asking is
whether or not he's going to be coming out swinging and it
doesn't appear at this point. Also I just shared his stats so
have fun with that. Sweet Jesus.
Word. So yeah.
I see that what? I'm hearing is now that we have
this guy, we just let the PNC get to the moon, set up their
base, get ready to leave, and then we just drop him in.
Chaotic evil. OK, OK.
We can work with but wait. I thought he would be lawful.
He's a police. Some of some of some of those
stats aren't probably completely.
Fair enough. We.
Met a police officer. I would say that he's lawful
When, yeah, lawful. Lawful Evil, yeah, would
probably be more accurate. It was he.
He struck me as a monitor when we first met him.
Pretty much, yeah. So like just lawful, period.
Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Just following orders.
The Hospice trainer mastery when FSM cast crown.
Newly appendage. Required concentration and the
FSM does not need to use its action to sustain fuck.
Legendary Resistance, get the fuck out of here, Desert.
That's a normal thing that creatures that high to have.
Most Dragons have it. Yeah, it's mythic resistance.
We're not allowed to have just. Choose which he has some mythic
actions, so just saying. Oh, it's a she.
Move over, sexy. Rat spoiled for.
Your sin. Cheats you sins.
Cheats you my love. Trait recharges afterwards, yes.
We probably think in the. Nudely appendage.
Cheatsy would probably put her head up at the mention of her
name though and go yeah do I have to go past her?
Should I know what cheatsy is? She's a sexy rat that she's the
rat. Yeah, I think you may have
missed almost all of the sessions that she was involved
in. It was.
Extremely appended. X She's dead plus.
I do not think she's no. I'm out of, I'm out.
I'm out of cheese. I mean, Brad, Raul hasn't been
feeding me cheese when you're not around.
Target is restrained. FSM has 10 newly appended.
Josh, did you send the copy of The Gods Have to Leave contract?
Somewhere rural did. I I just I posted it in the in
the chat. I just did a ChatGPT 1.
You can't. You should be able to save that
out as like a a document or something.
Yeah, it's a text document. I'm just saying I had ChatGPT
write it for me. 'Cause I got it.
Oh, Josh, Josh, I thought you wrote this contract.
No, this one was one that you guys strictly wrote between each
other, so I let you guys define that and.
Like and. Matt was saying this is the.
For, it's up for change, obviously.
We might have fucked up. We could have used this in
Powell world at our CEO. Huh.
What do you mean? What we?
We, we could have used the master ball on the CEO and
become CEO true. Become puppet masters of the
CEO. Can you just release this guy?
No, I like my spaghetti monster. I'm keeping him.
So we'll we'll effectively use the spaghetti monster cause and
then like after he's out we can use the master ball to catch the
CEO or depending on if the PNC is demolished or not.
I like that it can cast Heroes Feast.
While they're doing that, I'm going to wander away and to try
something. Oh.
Are you taking your popcorn with you?
No, I'll leave you some. Which one do you like?
I've got caramel white cheddar popcorn.
Regular cheddar popcorn. This is kettle corn.
White cheddar is the one for me. Same.
Here you go. I'm torn between that one and
caramel. But the caramel is so heavy,
right? Doesn't sound like anyone's
doing anything else other than admiring their new poker ball.
So if you want to go and explain what you're doing when you
wander away. Sure.
I I take out the automaton with the the Matt and I can't buy
ball and they take out the ring that I know that rural now
carries and I put the ring on the automaton.
Wait, did does RARL have the ring?
Yep, I got it from Franklin after he attempted to bring me
back and failed and then I handed it back over during that
like little side white stage thing.
Yeah, I just don't remember the ring getting passed around.
I remember Franklin wearing it. That's what I had got it.
I'd forgot, forgotten as well, but it was already discussed it.
So what do you remember What I had you?
I didn't. I was probably too drunk when I
came up with that, 'cause I don't.
It was you did something about like, like the possession thing
from Bob. Thank you.
That rings bells. I can go to Bob.
Does anyone have guidance? Yes.
Oh. No memento, that's.
The spell. Oh whoops, wrong one.
Do I click this? No.
How do I cast it? I'm just trying to cast it.
I normally just say it and then when when I roll I get a whoever
it is gets AD 40. There you go.
Thanks, Guess I should open up DND Beyond today huh?
OK. It's written as a charisma
saving through and I think it's Matt the wizard is trying to
save against the automaton's body and it resisting the
possession. Sure.
So it had and I I have a vague recollection that I said
specifically in this case too, it would be like both highest
individual stats that sound familiar that so like Matt's
probably would actually be intelligence and the automatons,
but I can't remember what what the the automaton is stat wise.
Fuck, have I now D&D Beyond? It's like some sort of fire.
Oh, right. Yeah, the it's a, it's a flux
blast seeker. That's what it is.
That's because we're using you're when you're saying a an
automaton, you're referring to the that you got from.
That's right. I'm just trying to get a body.
I don't need all the fancies, but.
No, no, it's actually it's in the highest is intelligence as
well. So it'd be an intelligence
versus intelligence and you would be, I guess rolling an
intelligence check versus intelligence save on the OR both
saves probably. Can I do Arkana?
Can I argue Arkana? You can't argue Arkana.
Baby, as long as it's not with you want to do the fine, OK?
Do you want to do the flux guy? I don't know if I get guidance
on this. You you should, yeah, you're
'cause you're casting it on the ring.
And one of two things Nimaway is very from that is a 20.
Gross. Not natural.
So the way. 20. 4 + 1 D 4 if you want to roll it for me there.
Oh, the other guidance doesn't count that I already ruled.
Oh, I didn't see that. What was it?
A3. 3 so 27. Your mind leaves the ring for
the first time in not quite a year, but a while and sinks into
a central core it feels like. And it it takes you a while to
gain any sort of movement. Like you go to try to move your
arm like you would and the arm just like click click back and
falls back down for a second. Just to confirm, this does or
does not trigger a table? Oh yes, thanks for the reminder.
Have all the all of this stuff tucked down on him too.
Yeah, it would trigger a table. Oops.
Let's go, Brandon. I don't I don't know why that
like MAGA slogan has suddenly gotten into my head.
Because it's real silly. What?
What's the table table? Start a table character, select
enter game table. I am now entering game for the
first time as player instead of object.
Be careful, if you die in real life, you die in the game.
Wait. Might be just easier to pop over
to that map for a second when it comes to not only what's
happening, but I'll I need to go over to another map to token
from the fourth level of hell because that's where I know what
this token exists. Freedom here.
It is. I'm a long.
Enough do. You remember being in the ring.
That's the real question. I would assume I would.
Every second I don't. Know you don't have a brain,
you're just a soul. So you were essentially
Voldemort for a hot 2nd. Yes.
Do. You have a nose.
I assume the robot does not have a nose as it has no need for
one. You are now Voldemort.
Oh, here it is. Robot Voldemort.
Yes. Mecca.
Voldemort. Kill all mud bloods.
All made true bloods. You have no blood, my Lord.
Shut up. I.
Think there's a Cards Against Humanity card like this?
I'd had a previously funny token for Franklin that I forgot
about. This, this little thing, just a
turtle. Yeah, I'm going to put it on the
map for a second because I think it's funny.
Oh yeah, this is like an early turtle version.
Yeah, yeah, I put, oh, I did put this on the wrong layer, but
there we go. Now I put other guy on the right
layer and I need to give you control of it.
Control. There it is saving now.
So Matt die Camp or the wizard formerly known.
As that so wait, wait, wait before we allow him to do
anything. Is this a great time to end the
session? Would you just like like?
To be continued. Yeah, like, like we just see an
image of like Matt and then the like the screen goes dark.
To be continued. It could be fond of that.
I think it's fair time. Yeah, decide what he's going to
do. I had a whole list but I wasn't
planning on it working today because I have the 10 day 10 day
timeline with my OG body but if we want to call it here that
would be appreciated. And I have a whole series of
spells to cast one after another.
I think to give it the time that I hope it takes, it would be
good to end now and pick up later.
Yeah, sure. Also, just to leave this seat
out there, this now means that Matt's body is open to
possession from other souls because it is currently being
ritualified to be opened for his soul.
Oh, that's fun. Who knows what'll happen there.
Nothing. More plots hooks for Josh to
play with. So I've read through the
contract. I don't see a way for Nimaway to
become a God. Unfortunately.
The way this contract is written, you guys would have to
resort to violence to force her out, you mean?
And you I. Mean.
Oh, OK. Yeah, there's also a line that
you have to prevent any gods from ascending.
I don't know if that was intentional in the contract, but
the AI put it in there. Yeah, I think it was at least
intended. I don't know if it was actually
spoken about, but I know that was kind of something you were
you were aiming for. Intent was to remove gods from
the from this solar system indefinitely, right?
Because the whole reason I would eventually kill myself is
because I have one of the links, the last links that a God might
use to come here. So I have the that that book.
So if I if we get all the other gods to leave, keep Minneapolis
in prison because he can't die otherwise the world explodes and
then 100 years later after we ex or kill all the PNC and stop
them from leaving, I would then die and then this solar system
would be permanently Godfrey. That was the intent.
I see, seemed more than just wanted to be just a silent
entity protecting her Kingdom and only using the God powers
defensively she didn't actually want.
To really like. Unless he.
Well, I think look at the read the first part of it.
I thought there was a clause about temporarily.
Franklin just really wanted to be born in the Dragon Land
universe. In the what?
Dragon Dragon Lance universe. Never heard of it.
So. There is.
A cause about. Temporary use, but if her
Kingdom is in danger she doesn't want to have to reach out to
like 12 other people to get consent.
Like that kind of defeats the purpose, yes, right.
Once Upon a time, Dragon Lance is as big as Forgotten Realms.
It's another one of the D&D universes.
I was trying to read into it. It definitely reads like AD and
D campaign more than the Forgotten Realms though.
Because in reading it, you're, you're, you're just like this.
This character's wandered off. Where?
Doing what? Where are the other people?
OK, Salvatore's riotings absolutely do that shit.
Like, yeah, that's fair. It's been a while since I've
read those. I guess comparatively now I need
to go back and read some of them.
I read those when I. Yeah, you know Salvatore's
writings 100% read like AD and D campaign.
Yeah. I would not be surprised that
they were like what do you mean like?
This was just his game before. Yeah.
And to answer your other previous or one that I guess you
haven't asked then Emily, but to a point that you said earlier is
that you could asset that you you need to determine rather if
your Kingdom is in this solar system basically because then
that would also. I don't think so because I've
been imagining that she would see star maps if she's going to
find any map she can get her hands on.
Right. Well, wouldn't the star map look
different from a different perspective?
Yes. But she would still recognize
solar systems. Like if that was her solar
system, she would recognize it. Something that I need to sit
down and shoot the shit with you at some point.
Josh is like a grand damn. 100% is not, but I'm kind of tempted
to like make Faust from here, but from like another time or
from if there's not a region that's like industrially like
revolutionized because like he's like I, I got it in my head that
he from like that time period where the industrial revolution
is happening. Like he's very much got like,
Marxist ideologies floating around in his head.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're you're welcome to pick
just about anywhere that's not populated on that map of Taurus
in that regard. Or he could be from a place that
like developed that way because relative absence of godly
intervention developed that way out of necessity.
If he's from the future and we do restrict the gods from the
solar system, from the. Future disregarding that idea
only just to not open more doors for you.
But the only thought that I was going to say is that I've always
I've always opened it up to complete creative freedom from
the players side of things like where exactly they would be
located, including to the fact that we're like.
I haven't explored a large portion of tariffs in the sense
too that it's like if you pick an area and develop a whole
thing, I'll work with you and develop that, that area with you
basically and. That.
That that what you're describing could exist on tariffs already
somewhere. That reminds me, I need to sit
down and finish making the map for y'all on.
Next week, yeah. What's that next week?
Isn't it? What day are we starting again?
17th OK, I can do 7th that's. What I thought that's.
I think, I think we've already had that. 17th is fine. 16th
can't work. Wife will be very angry with me.
Anniversary. Megan, that's the conversation
I'm having. Yes, I'm aware, honey.
She's over here now very upset at me for daring to insinuate
that I ever do anything on the 16th.
The 16th is a Monday. Now the Tuesday.
Yeah, I think he was just throwing dates out because we
who wasn't real sure what what day was way.
What it's summer like for all I like.
For all I know right now, like it could be like Monday right
now. In fact, I am still out of touch
with the flow of time. I only know what day the 16th is
because that's my birthday. Hey, happy birthday that day.
Happy birthday. Thank you, it's mine and my
wife's anniversary. It's a good day.
And the next. Day 16th is my birthday.
Oh nice, I'm a July baby. So July 16th.
Yep. My my husband's birthday is the
28th and our anniversary is also the 28th.
Super easy to remember. Brothers like the 27th, we'd
have dates work out like that later y'all.
Goodnight. I will have a map for y'all
hopefully by the end of the night.
Now I'm thinking I'll try and. Think I'll share any share
character. Rate more character choices.
Yeah, I would love to have like session 0 be like .5 if we can
wing that so I can do a little bit of ground setting That way I
would wind up with six sessions and.
Wait, what do you mean session 0?
Session 0 is like for when you create a character.
Yeah, but together. We're are we talking just Matt?
No, no, no, everyone. Next week is me starting my like
he likes to sprinkle in one shots kind of like Rick's heist.
I scheduled to have mine start during the summer when I plenty
of time to run it and I'd like to do it.
So that's the game plan. That's where that's what, if you
go look at reclusion there, that's everything I've posted
about. It's there.
Plus everybody joking about making the Scooby-doo gang.
Yeah, no. Go ahead, make make scooby-doo
gang. It's going to be Scooby-doo goes
to Innsmith. It's going to be great.
Can I be the ghost? I'm calling all ghostly things
if you want to make like a ghostly race by all mean.
OK. Just know that the locals may
not like you. Yeah.
OK, I'll think on it. It's.
Going to be Scooby-doo on on Zombie Island but times 10 it's
going to be great. Go all right, have a good.
One guys, it's this show. Zwinks, Josh.
Later, I'd like to pick your brain about this contract and
which. A grand and wonderful thank you
