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 many polos.
A backpack big enough to. Fuck Greg.
I shall build you a backpack worth carrying.
The Hand of Fate tosses the dice rolls, spins, turns.
A campaign starts and ends, leaving memories that become
stories. The stories flow out into the
infinite sea, painting it with legends Legends wash up on the
shores throughout the infinite sea, fading to myth until myths
are forgotten and again the can't hand of fate tosses the
dice rolls spins turns the two. We left our adventurers, known
as the Rum Rollers, in the middle Mare on their way back to
Socrates to deliver successfully bargained for Red Dragon Breath
from the dragon Shondar to the Queen of Sorcrities in Theodah.
On their way, they deftly evaded a gargantuan mass of tentacles
by using Wisteria's ability to turn everyone to gas while on
the decks of a dune. A night in the day pass with
only a huge shadow on the horizon lurking air during the
morning, only hours away from Socrates.
The room rollers are set upon by a crew of over 100 free trader
turtles lying no flag. He tried to fly away on the on
casting fly on a dune only to have a deck wizard from the
turtles bored and demanded they land to trade as per rights of
the sea as he his Admiral had as his Admiral had ordered.
That's when the rum rollers noticed two more similarly large
ships to the South. As the rum rollers landed back
into the waters of the middleman, they see the ship is
more than and just a ship with a huge tortoise underneath of it
actually with the rest of the wood of the ship on top of its
shell. Under that under the threat of
an attack, they they don't oh under threat of attack if they
don't comply. Glamelton as Hamilton starts act
as acting captain and KIRO his first mate to create a trade to
let them sail on their way to the for the half a day,
remaining to them to Socrates. Grand AM puts into existence
with Cat pretending to be a normal chicken as well.
Poofing in Admiral gay book son greets them on the other side of
of the gangplank on the decks of Kobach Son.
They they learn Cat and or Flammableton and Keto, and they
begin to negotiate while while the captain continues to
disrespect KIRO the whole time. Subtly though Abelson explains
Hamilton in to Flammalton and KIRO, they find themselves on
their decks in the midst of their travel back.
After some trading for sugar cane, which they claim to be
doing as well the Rim Rollers. Hamilton then offers some trade,
even though through the disrespecting of the continued
disrespecting of KIRO without handing him a drink.
At this point, Hamilton proofs out of existence and Mime proofs
into his spot, and reality bends and reshapes that Mime had
always been there in his place, making the same deal.
But Mime begins to demand a feast before any trading, and
Gabooksung complies and takes notes, ordering food stuff over
to a dune for the Rim rollers to prepare a feast.
Gabooksson also orders his first mate to begin sitting up tables
and cutlery for the feast on the Kobuksung's decks.
Rim Rollers convene below the decks in the belly of a dune to
hatch a secretive reconnaissance plan on the 300 plus portals
that now surround them and options for partial escapes or
learning at least more of information about who has
they're meeting with. In the middle of Middle Man
Grand Am sneaks through with the consent of Admiral Mimi.
Grand Am sneaks through the decks of the Kobuk Sun as a rat,
gathering the perspective of those creatures and how the
Tortles have treated them and those they've met with.
During which he meets Cheetzia, a female rat who he promises
lots of food upon his call to him and also finds out that the
the turtles are generally peaceful unless there is a There
was hints of a Black Flag of from another crew so it seemed
they were only attacking pirates as they had said.
Raoul discussed Rarl then disguised as a turtle, ordered
the kill book son with cat secreted in his backpack and
snuck on the deck and mistook the first mate as the captain
and again to sneak into the captain corridors but and were
able to do so with the help of a group of rats.
Unfortunately this triggered a trap and Rahl was in.
At which point Rahl was impersonating the captain he
thought, who turned out to be actually the first mate he had
been speaking to and Grand AM got covered in red glowing
magical dust that got a few specks on her on their feathers
as well which he tore off. Meanwhile, back on Aduna's
decks, Piero had called all the first mates together for tea in
the middle. In the In the meantime, during
the conversations, agreements were made for trade rules
between the captains, with some of which entailing their motives
for what they actually really, truly seek in this trade.
And they hope to bargain with the rum rollers to put in a
request with the queen of Socrates for a piece of land
that they can call their home, which they've lost their ears.
They've they claim as the as the world became less or more
settled and less there's a better word for it.
I was thinking like Hunter Gatherer, but and they and they
in exchange, they would gladly fly under someone else's flag is
one of the the other contingents.
All of the from rollers that had gone off onto their
reconnaissance missions report back to Admiral Mimei about
their findings and is decided to move forward with a trade
agreement as to what I I I took last things go you guys can tell
me otherwise but but that with that let's find out what's
happened this time so you guys are on Dune's deck after let me
actually get over there too. On a Dune's deck after, yeah,
informing Admiral Mimi about the portals and their disposition
and everything, and a feast was to be ensuing within an hour or
so. That was negotiations, then.
I'll speak at once. So everyone understands what we
have to do. Roar's tossing a vibrating
pillow in the air and batting it up like a like a keep it away
from the floor totally. We got this so.
Where's the vial with the giant squid monster?
The bottle. It is.
The poison I should have, the poison I'm going to be able to
administer at the best if we have to.
But I can talk. Too, but it was you're talking
about the, the bottle that actually houses it.
I I think it's in Captain or Admiral Mimi's corridors.
If you're talking about talking about the the the vial itself,
we decided lastly there, I don't think to put it in any of the
courses yet. That's fine.
That's right. No, like, I never mind, never
mind. I'm I think we decided not to
commit violence. Yes, yeah, these guys seem to to
be chill, which brings us to the next point.
I don't know that chill is the right word.
They. Did no.
Then it may be not chill, but like it seems like they're
desperate for a place to live. So desperate that they would
caught that that would shoot us out of the air and force us to a
trade with them seems. Unreasonable.
I don't believe that was the original intention.
I believe we spooked them, they spooked us and it was
miscommunication from the beginning.
I get it. I get spooked easily.
I believe the main point is we need to do our absolute best to
put our best foot forward tonight, make our Admiral proud
and make higher festivities you. Know as yes.
Forward. Yes, Rosen, you and your
brothers sing, be merry, dance, entertain, give them reason to
want to be rum rollers. And then, while you, the Admiral
and the rest are doing such things, I will take the time and
cordially draw up a proposal that we can present tomorrow.
At least one of us should have a somewhat somber no study or
level head tonight. It's a party, why would you have
a level head at the party? I know I.
Should be up making them like us.
And that is what shall happen. I trust you and he kind of like
side eye looks down towards grand am Master Kellador are
more than up to the task along with our Admiral they'll be food
gave. You that impression.
God's willing, I don't either. Just be careful there's a rat
man monster on board. He's probably trying something.
I invite you say that, but the way he was looking at me, he
wished to eat me. I could tell I like eating
things. He gave me the same look.
I mean, if you were a few sizes smaller maybe.
Thank God I'm not. Yeah, maybe next time.
No, I will kill it next time. But other than that, Adune, are
all the food preparations prepared?
Yes, I believe so. The the only question I I had
pertaining left really is how did you plan to serve this
without revealing my nature? There's a lot.
I mean, I've made multiple courses for over 300 head, so
yeah, that's yeah. How many rats are there on this
that I could potentially call that?
Has been a question for me. I did.
Did. How dirty is it your name?
No, none so. That dirty girl.
She's a dirty girl. Oh.
My God. Oh, the other ship.
Yeah, it'd be the other ship because.
I would use. I would totally use speak with
animals. Convince them to serve food in
exchange for more food. Let's think about this.
Let's. I mean, you did say that you
couldn't, you would be, you'd call them, right?
I said if I called them, they'd have food.
That was my contingency plan to create chaos in the event that
violence was the answer. Be our guest.
Be our guest, Yeah. It's like a really, really
fucked up Cinderella right now. Yeah.
So OK. Yeah, we're going to have to
kill them all. The Rats 6.
Times 4 is. 1212 * 3 is 56 will do.
We'll do. We could just ask for help
serving the food. That could work to like, put it
on the decks before they get here then yes.
I mean that or you play it off as a party trick like like what
if we cover the table like the serving table, you know?
OK, so this one time in Russia, don't know where that is, but in
Russia they had this this fancy table that would raise and lower
so they servants would fill it up and then they would raise it
would be mechanical things up to the top and that would replace
the food that was there. We could do that, maybe like put
a big sheet over it and be like TA food, look how cool we are.
And then have some of their cook bring the food over.
Is it not like fairly common to be able to make little like
servants that can't be seen? Like I think it's a pretty
simple spell. I don't know it but like.
Sure. Like like some sort of unseen
servant. That might be, but I don't have
that spell either. I actually don't have any
spells. Food.
Oh I and a hand like a couple planks near you from say on the
wall, fold down it looks like out of it and then break apart
to form a hand. Pretty much full control of all
the wood on my decks. Interesting.
And I'm going to go to portals, OK?
I know it was requested that I just stay hidden, so I wanted to
ask before. Yeah, maybe they should just in.
Case I would I. Will go or somebody better at
talking? I might get confused about why
I'm doing this. I I will go over and ask the
other first mate if he can send over some servers and then I do
a have the food to keep yourself.
I have my slipping to it. We need them for the
entertainment relative. Who's Entertainment?
So the other app put it on deck, Yes.
OK. And then I'll I will go make
final negotiation there. As you're watering up, as you as
you're walking up on deck too, then guessing you guys are just
hanging out, hanging out below or something like that too, or
moving up. Crafting a backpack.
OK, so you're you're hanging out below for sure.
I would imagine Grand Am is seeing this too, but it there's
so much moving on top of a Dunez deck right now that it there's
almost like a pathway that's following where you're moving
KIRO of of planks that are holding themselves up in a
pathway that and you know, there's holes opening all around
you for all of the food that's coming up, just avoiding making
sure that you don't fall through.
But it's almost like the whole top deck has folded down and
this food is being raised up with all these arms that are.
It's. Very impressive that.
Conveys things. We should write that down.
We could produce so many more things so much more cheaply.
What if we did it in like a line and like you had a part and you,
Oh my God, you assemble it. Oh my God, I write it down.
Look, Hero kind of like pinches pinches the bridge of his nose
just a little bit. This amuses me.
So later you make it out to the edge of the deck, over to the
gangway I guess, and see one of the mates looking like they're
awaiting something and just kind of all right.
They turn. They turn their head to you and
nod and greeting. Is there any possibilities that
we can get some of your crew to help ferry over the food for
this evening? We're able to bring it all up,
but we don't have as many hands as your crew does.
Well, certainly make festivities work so much faster, Admiral.
That could. Definitely be arranged.
I I, I think a large portion of the tables and everything are
all set up and you look just past him and see a bunch of like
candles out over. Not not they don't seem to be,
you know, the traditional flame candles you might see on on I'm
sure they kind of flicker with a different light showing that
they aren't true flame and all set out across does the sun
setting in the background and the tables are all set to for a
full meal with courses laid course plates laid out in kind
of like a circular pattern going towards the inside so that
everything could be laid out and there wouldn't be much serving
needed because they didn't really have planned on, you
know, the serving of the meals. It's just be kind of home,
homely done where you know you put it all out on the table and
everybody help themselves. That that will do.
Yes, we can just bring the food over, have it all placed and
prepared and have ourselves a good evening.
Sounds wonderful. I'll alert some of the crew
members and he just kind of like looks away from you and starts
like picking his hand. He takes his hand up and starts
pointing at people further across the deck who start
running towards him and send them over onto your deck shortly
to start gathering the food. That'll be very much helpful and
I hope these will lead us to a very lucrative agreement in the
morning. Absolutely.
Over there you will find any points towards the a stern of
the ship and says says that's going to be the captains and 1st
mates tables there, just so you're aware.
Very well, I shall adjourn and get the rest of my crew ready
and we shall have a good festivity tonight.
Wonderful, I will keep the rest of my crew intact and make sure
they don't wander on your ship. He says with like a bit of a
mischievous grin. Please don't.
There are areas of our ship that we, we, we do treasure that our
privacy and I'm sure you also treasure your privacy.
And if something like that was, and if something like that was
to violate between us, it would make negotiations a little
strenuous for us tomorrow. Let's all keep on our best
behaviors. Absolutely he knows, Chill him.
Let me make myself a little on the scarce side and get over
there and make sure everything's prepared and we should be able
to start in here in a few minutes.
He provides a a mate salute. Just hand to fist or hand to
heart, pist to heart. That's what I meant to say.
Hero returns it in kind. And then you go back below deck.
Presumably Dunezar seems to have gotten most of the stuff on deck
as quickly as possible, and some of it's still steaming.
And as soon as I get there, a little bit of gnawing at the
back of Kiro's mind when the the way the first mate looked and
talked. Oh do they?
Once the food has been prepared and sent up until festivities
are completed, I would like you to lock down all all levels of
the ship except for the deck. Make it welcoming, but do not
allow anyone other than crew members to access the vessel.
OK, I'll I can close down all of the entries and exits pretty
much. I could cover them over
basically if that's which I mean it'd be a little not showing.
Not so much close it as the doors are locked.
They don't have a if someone tries to open the door that that
should not be opening a door, that door should not open unless
they are a crew member. Oh.
OK, yeah, I can do that. I was going to say some of the
areas might be a little awkward. As you know, there aren't doors
down to the galley and there aren't that some of the
portholes don't use, don't all have cut their own coverings and
such. So I'd I'd have to come up with
my own ways to cover those. But if if you're just talking
normally, I can do that. Yes, that would be very helpful.
Call it. Noticed anything in the
meantime? Perception powers are pretty
good now that I can see. Call it a little bit of a
intuitional hunch. OK.
Always good to be cautious. Absolutely.
I'll I'll take your word at it, acting Captain.
Can always stand guard rather than hang out in the party.
Parties or people, or socializing or making friends or
interacting with other living things.
Give me a big hug. I like you.
Don't be so hard on yourself. That's why you're a lovable man
one day and I'm like straightening up your hair,
licking my like finger and like cleaning.
As you like straighten my hair, a spider skitters out of it and
across your fingers and back into my.
Hair. I catch it and I eat it.
One day you're going to find a beautiful man or a girl or a
person and you're going to be so happy and you'll be have friends
and family just like you do now here.
Lose my heart, I smile and just hug him back.
There you go, I put the kick me sign on his back.
You want to actually do that or I'm just.
Hell yes. Before I ask for any rolls.
All right, so you're going to want to roll.
Oh no, I put the hug me sign on his back.
That's better. I.
Yes, it's more friendly. Are you trying to do it?
I'm guessing without him noticing then, so it would be a
sleight of hand against his passive perception.
Give me one second. I'm a dumbass.
I don't. Remember where the fuck that is
on this sheet? Just been over here making
grids. It'd be 10 plus your wisdom, 10
plus wisdom. So 14?
Oh, that's gonna be characters. Nevermind, RARL Rarrelsen
Sleight of Hand +7 rolling 14 + 721.
He does not notice. I smile to myself and I skip on
and I I finish my backpack and respond to a a text message on a
business card. We'll say it's from you.
Caught me off guard. What was his name?
It's from me. Oh, oh, OK, I was going to say
talking. To myself.
It could have been too, because, you know, he'd given you the
guys the business card machine, which I still need to make, yes.
Which I will. You've let me use it a few.
Times I know and I've kind of gone with like what what I've
explained off of it. So I'll try to keep it true to
what I've said so far, but and let me know when I do.
But I I've got to make that. Mostly I'm just using it to
coordinate with myself. OK but I'm I'm building a
backpack that is capable of like it has loops and stuff for
someone like a harness, a harness combined with a
backpack. That would be your crafting
skill if you haven't done that already rolling wise.
I know you're talking about that.
Take my time with it too if I can get an advantage.
Yeah, there's a bit of downtime there probably about.
So 21 on the 1st. 20 minutes while you 21.
OK, turns out you're you ask a dune for some parts probably and
she she obliges and says well I've got some shark leather from
the shark you brought me. Perfect.
I kind of just let it dry out. It turned into this and some
planks clattered and out. Oh my God, Dune.
Can I have some or more of that shark leather?
I want to build myself a shark costume so that they can when I
go swimming, I could be a shark. Yes.
They'll call me left a shark. I don't think you'll like how
the head in fittings worked out and you hear some more
clattering and you see them like shrunk down to to just about
your size. So you'd be like a baby shark
comparatively? Yes, yes, this is perfect.
Like Super Mario Brothers when he wears the raccoon suit.
I have a Nosebleed, I take it? I will work on this in the
meantime, but first the important thing, which is the
backpack. I got the 21.
Oh, you were describing it and then I interrupt you because I
got excited. No worries.
You you, you start with kind of some tools that Dune also
provides because you, you're kind of start to use your claws
and she kind of sees that you're kind of struggling to get
through it and hands you some shears.
And you start kind of cutting some patterns out and are able
to get more or less the shape that you want in the time before
kiddo comes back. But you're kind of just left
with the parts of the shapes. Guys, I'm guessing are waiting
until they've taken all that. You can hear their boots kind of
coming across the deck. It'll probably take them a good
hour or so to to separate all that food out.
You're at least, you know, serving it all on those tables
and such if you're taking all that time or more if you said
you are taking your time. So you are sitting there kind of
like with your claw again, making puncture holes and then
taking strips of leather that you cut off with a sheer and
pulling it together in the corners and pieces and
everything before doing a chimes in with the I've got this harder
needle over here and it gives you that.
So you didn't have to use your claw for that too.
And absolutely. But surely you're you're making
your way. What was it again?
I know it was a backpack. I got that much.
A backpack that you could kit like pot like.
Basically I want to make a a wearable like the the harness
that someone would wear to go tandem skydiving so that you can
like pick someone up and just have them strapped to your front
or back. I need to be able to carry
someone or something in the shape of someone.
Oh, Dune kind of like is also at this point I would I would say
very sad like. A Kind of like a saddle.
What you're trying to do? Because I have people flying on
me all the time. Yeah.
So I want to build myself like a harness, strap in saddle so that
people can ride me as I sailed the skies.
I I understand, I think now, but a dune doesn't.
And it's just kind of like offering help where it seems
like you're struggling with things that she had might have
around to help you. And at some points to just kind
of almost, it seems like unknowingly forming a head out
of her planks and poking it out out of the walls at certain
angles and kind of corking it to one side or the other.
Like curiously, like, what the hell are you doing?
What is he doing? It's like a big baby carrier.
Oh, well, that's interesting. Thanks.
I could, I could expect some things out of that that that
could be interesting. I think the the the shock
leather lends itself to it though quite nicely because it's
it's very supple. It really does.
Yeah, it looks nice. Now people can ride to me as I
fly. Feel.
Like the dendrites would make a shadow, a saddle made out of
dark leather incredibly uncomfortable.
Dendrites. That's something to do with
their skin. Yeah, they have basically little
teeth covering theirs on each scale, which increases their
like hydrodynamics, rough like sandpaper.
Yeah, I I can't say that I've actually touched dark skin
without it being wet. Possibly so that might have
something to do with it more. Than One Direction and rough in
the other. Oh, OK, so.
So hard, so hard to fall off of. In One Direction, in the other
direction, very easy to fall off of.
Right, but it's a good thing I normally fly in One Direction.
Dendrites. I like that it just means or
something. Maybe Androids?
Yeah, I think. Tentacles.
Because they're teeth like and on their scales.
Either. Way Iris would have been.
Build a backpack. I was just finding it now.
Aris was the guy back from Socrates that is likely to
communicate you with you as well, having given you the card
machine and probably would have looked for updates in that way
of how the trades and everything with Chandar were going.
I'll give them the general update.
All right, let's get this feast over with.
Yes, all right. So you guys go.
You guys are hanging out below until you hear the final
stompings of the boots above. Or rather Fins, I should've been
saying and dying out and then a call down, down below deck that
we're all set up doing very good.
They're doing a chimes in too. They haven't wandered once.
And. Good.
Keep an eye out the dune. There's rats.
Not on my decks. I know, but like you know, with
so many things coming in and out, you never know if they try
to sneak a board. Sneaky bastards.
My hair. Oh, I don't know what me.
And I'm on the shoulder, right buddy?
I can see everything upon my decks.
That's cool. All right, let's do this.
Mr. You need to trim those claws.
I just, I don't. It makes me uncomfortable.
Oh, maybe what it's like to have claws.
You're made out of wood and I have to scratch them on
something. Maybe in the next that's sort of
tease, we can get you a scratching post.
I guess what? I guess so.
I'm so sorry today. Begin weeping.
I failed you. Somebody decided they were all
done. Oh, no, it looks like that was
just one of the bots. We're good.
That's all right. You guys proceed above deck or?
I'm pretty sure we all need we all need to get formally
dressed. Right.
Yep, I got to text you in. In that interim too, there was
probably a time for you to do that before you the call all
came down since. Bureau is going to be taking the
captain's place. He's going to dress in his most
regal outfit that he that he owns.
OK, I think you did get something out like that too to
meet with the first mates, so you may even still been wearing
that. That that's just, you know, the,
the formal and now he's going to his like Uber best formal, which
is he wore white, so kind of like a peace talk kimono.
And now he's going to go for an elegant silk black kimono with
like, you know, gold trim at, you know, he's going to he he
saw how the captain on the, the Admiral on the other ship
looked. He's going to try to mirror as
best as he can a as pristine formal as he can possibly pull
off, so that he can represent Admiral Mimi the best he can.
OK. Grand Am will wear whatever he
was forced to wear. If that is nothing, well, it's
He won't be showing up naked. Lindsay Cat T-shirt.
Yes, if he was forced to wear something formal, he will look
like someone shuff stuffed a What's the term a like Persian
cat into a suit and it is very grumpy about it.
So. That's.
Great towards forward to your comment of a suit.
I don't know if that cut or. Like finery of any sort.
Well, not necessarily In your particular case, I understood
what you meant. I knew what you you were going
for. I was talking more towards Raul
because I think you'd said specifically a tuxedo.
I just didn't know if you were drawing from references from
this world in that regard with some blood running down the
front of your tuxedo or. No, I mean whatever the
equivalent is here, OK. I mean, and his finery would be
like all silks and like stuff like that, 'cause I think I, I
figured you were going for kind of a.
More like. Tuxedo mad.
Babylonian. Yeah.
Middle Eastern. Yeah, it's like a he's got like
a very like Mediterranean vibe. Yeah, that's, that's another.
OK. So like a lot of long flowing
silks. OK, just getting the in the
picture, the guys get all done up, you hear the call, you come
up the the stairs and go and greet the first mate and he
looks you over and goes where's the captain?
My apology at the. Squirts a.
Little more dignity please. Ross and the Admiral is under
weather and I will be taking her place tonight.
It is unfortunate that her illness comes at such a vital
time, but I'm sure that myself and the rest of the crew can
perform and entertain as much with the Cat with your Admiral
as needed. I want a sandwich.
We'll get you back to the guy. He just kind of side eyes grand
am and then looks back to kiddo and goes they're sitting with
the rest of the. Crew, Yeah, he totally gives the
the nod of understanding by like a long shot.
And I, I guess, have you been given permission to act in
Admiral Mimi's stead? Yes, I will be speaking in ever
since 4:00. All right.
I think directly after the feast, libations and
negotiations will ensue, which we've capped it for the crew,
but I still suspect that they've hidden away and snuck something
amongst themselves as they can get quite rowdy as my captain's
warned. But besides the alcohol
limitations we'd set, we have ordered them to be respectful of
the other crew that's among them and make sure that they hold you
all in and any request that you have to do the best of their
abilities. You have really big, wide eyes.
Really. I appreciate your accommodations
and I'm I'm quite certain that Admiral Mimi also appreciates
all the accommodations that your Admiral has provided.
They know it didn't let us be on and you see him turn in the
lumage that he's wearing on top of his hat swishes along with
some of the lace that he's had around some of his collars and
cuffs. Remain alert for traps.
All right. Lead you guys over to the other
crew and Stan's waiting, directing Grand Am and Rural
towards the rest of the crew tables.
May find your seats anywhere amongst the crew as you wish.
On the shoulder. Let's go make some friends.
Before you roll off, Ross and Kira's going to kind of like
nudge you to the side. And please watch the Dwarf.
I did stay. I'd stay behind.
No, no, no. He said that in a hush tone.
He said it in a hush tone. What's wrong with him?
Is he depressed? There are so many questions that
I've yet have answered by the Grand Am or a Grand Am, you know
this is probably. More than.
One I've heard stories, yes. Not 100, and sure, it might be
old fairy tales from old Dragons, but I hear that they
change a lot. So just maybe keep him merry,
keep him happy, help him enjoy himself.
Got it, but not. But not too much.
Wink. Oh God, I'm going to wander
away. I heard someone say that they
might have brought their own stuff.
We're going to make it double Hey I, I knock on the wall.
Hey, hey Adune, we need a lot of beer.
Hard stuff. You're on the other ship at this
point, so it doesn't respond. I knock again.
What the fuck kind of ship is this?
It's not even alive. I mean, I say that quietly.
It is the. Underneath us, what was his name
again? The Koble son.
Yeah, Koblebum. Kumblebum.
He does chime in with you with the kind of like pressing
against your head because you're not too far.
And if this is in your mind, you're not too, too, too far
away from her. And she goes, Were you asking
for something wrong? Yeah, we're going to spike the
punch, you and me. It's going to be great.
I don't know how I could do that without being noticed.
Now you get the the liquor on board and my siblings will come
in and send and then deliver it. Oh, OK.
I. Don't really have that that much
in the way as our provisions were low before.
I've gotten. You.
How are you at Holden? Your beer.
I have no idea. Let's find that.
Let me look at my constitution. Yes.
You're gonna cast poison on him. Is that what you said?
What is? This poison.
Oh OK, there we go. I missed the resist part.
That's going to be good. What's the verbal and semantic
for that? I'm guessing there's something.
Yeah, I could have it here. I think I have it.
Yeah, I totally would have prepared it in preparation for a
party, right. Yeah, of.
Course. From poison.
That's what it is. One hour verbal Symantec.
For the duration, you have advantage against being
poisoned. So verbal and semantic on it are
for your your casting, Brandon. Don't turn pale, let's get that
ale. And I smack it in the chest.
You're fine. Let's switch over to Theodore
real quick while the Dune is going.
OK, Well, I think there's some old stuff in here that a Zef had
made it looks like. Anyhow, I'll try to get that on
deck for you shortly. You might want to I, I can, I
can tap the raw Rawls, other Rawlsons to bring it over, I
guess. But wouldn't they have to be
secretive too? And she leaves off with that
while we go over to. The other Beavers like turtles.
What site of of gaudiness do I walk myself into?
The captain's table and the first mates are kind of on one
side and the captain captains are on the other, with the
Admiral heading the table. Even though it's round, you know
it's opposite of which way you're coming.
So he's staring directly at you as you approach and waiting for
you to take a seat. But you see before you, besides
very well plumed and dressed portals, they're actually
besides just long draping cloth on on around some of their
bigger around their appendages. It actually seems like they have
that, but on their shell they've left exposed and it's been
painted lacquered up almost it looks like so that they stand
out amongst the rest of the crew even more so.
And they are sitting, but all prim and proper compared to the
ram rambunctious crew it looks like who are eating ravenously
at the delicious meal. And you can hear them commenting
and all to such down below. And their captains and 1st mates
seem to be waiting for you to sit before they begin.
Eating when I get When I get about 10 paces or so from the
actual Admiral, I will stop. Bow deeply.
Greetings, Admiral. They all stand together and and
and clap their fins to their sides and and bow in varying
degrees, with the Admiral bowing the least and the lowest running
first mate bowing the deepest. I am trying my best to remember
his name. Oh God, Gobukson.
Yeah. How close did I get?
Really close. Admiral Gobukson, on behalf of
Admiral Mime, I, Acting Captain, present myself for these
festivities and present my Admiral's most humblest
apologies that she will not be able to be with us tonight, for
she has fallen I'll but sends me in her stead as her envoy and
voice and hope to have a great and glorious evening of
festivity, libations and friendship in camaraderie words.
When few. Words do true in the slightest
bow that he in in the slightness of the his bow that he'd had
done before, and as all the others stand back up into a full
prostate posture, he takes off his hat, sweeps it in front of
him and bows even deeper than you had and goes.
My deepest condolences for any foul that is hound to your
captain and hope that they recover well and appreciate the
return sincerities and sending over an envoy in her in their
place. I will hope to do my best to
honor my Admiral in her stead. He puts his his hat back on and
says I think we must be getting to this fine food that has been
prepared before it goes to waste or at least cools down before
below its palatability. Looks delicious.
KIRO walks up to the the seats and in respect to Admiral Mimi,
he takes hit the seat that would normally be accustomed to him
out of respect for his Admiral. Doesn't seem anyone's batting an
eyelash at that, and everyone's getting haughtily on to eating.
And KIRO joins them. The courses go well with the
them as I described before, which I could bring up if if you
need. Otherwise I was going to jump
back over to rural and Grand Am to see how that's transpiring
while you're eating prim and proper.
Yeah, that's a you can move over to them while I while I'm doing
fanciness. Grand Am is going to find a
large loaf of bread and then begin assembling a like
Thanksgiving leftover style sandwich from anything within
arm's reach. So are you requesting the bread
from a good name in cheese? Trying to ignore that comment.
I don't know what was going on. So where's the bread coming
from? That was my question.
I. Can it would be rude to take all
of the bread at the fee at the feast so he will see if he can
get some from a dune first? Rocky maybe goes back and gets
beer. Doing a would respond in your
mind of I think I have some hard tack around here, but we're all
out of the the good stuff. I'd have to bake some more.
I I think it's the the turtle. OK.
It's not for me. What don't?
Worry. So should I send over a bit of
hard tack? Yeah.
OK. I'll put it with the Rarl, Yarl
and Jeffrey when they bring over the the beer guys are sitting
there and you see Rarl. Actually, no.
So you don't have any way to communicate with them.
How would you think that they would go about this?
Aduna would at least be able to tell them anything that you need
that need them to know. But you know, it's going to have
to be seen through the lens of the telephone game a bit.
I don't know how you want to go about this.
That's I. Think they said there's three of
us here. Each of us should play one of
the three siblings their third side adventure trying to get
Beard of the Thing. Yeah, yeah.
OK. As long as you guys are all good
with Imagination Zone. I'll play Jeffrey and the 5th
scent and then there is Yarl and Growl left.
I think I got growl. I guess I'm nice, believe Yarl.
Growl is the one who, last time he was played, ended up breaking
10,000 gold worth of glass by knocking things down.
Then I'm where I need to be. Yep.
And the other one was more responsible without remember
right. Along along with Jeffrey, who
never speaks. So we're on their ship, right?
Or like. We're not.
Rarl is. Rarl is Grarl and Yarl and
Jeffrey are low decks on a Dune so.
They all have that particularly we have to go guys accent or.
You don't have to. But why it'll be so great?
Come on, let's. Do it, let's do it.
Come on. Our brother really needs our
help. We're on a here run guys.
We can do it. Girl don't break.
Girl, don't break anything this time.
Well, let's grab the the barrel and I'll like kind of like think
to myself while tapping a clod in my like nose and I'll have a
great idea and mime the three of us climbing, jumping across to
their rigging, assuming we're next to them, and then lowering
down the barrel of beer with a rope.
Because portals swim, they don't climb.
But wouldn't it be easier just to walk it over?
But we have to sneak. I mime.
That's what didn't that's isn't that what they said?
I thought they said bring it over.
What if we get it inside of the box of Hard Tack?
How much beer is it? You look over and see a dune
rolling over a keg of beer. I think this is the last of it
though that we have. It's just too.
It's probably going to work. Let's do that.
Yeah. Beer.
OK, Beer.
Yes. Grossen's like going beer, beer,
beer. About to drink.
No, no, no, no, no, no. I think we can.
Of course we can. We can do anything our sibling
wants to do. I'm I'm.
Maybe we should have a drink before we go I.
Don't know how else to do that pregame.
Let's do it. Yeah, he's he's my let's
pregame. A dune obligingly 2 hands over a
tap to you guys and she's she has another hand pointing at the
hole or the cork or or what have you on the barrel and she goes
now this is the bung. None of you left.
It's the bung you take the this. She said this bung.
Right here it's called a tap and you put it in the bung.
Tap the bung. Tap the bung.
Yeah, I tacked the bung only once you're.
Ready to serve, Jeffrey, that is.
That is not the bang I was talking about.
Oh oh. I think we should bring you guys
over. Like the fucking the coffin
dance meme. We each grab a corner.
Performance. Performance style.
Do that. Let's do it.
Let's let's. I get a really smart idea and I
I I get some paint and I paint food on the side of the keg.
I present it to the others. Orange juice, juice.
That's a great idea. They'll never know.
Synthetically. So you guys go up on deck with a
barrel labeled Juice, yes. So that's a great plan, solid
plan. I just try to walk across the
gangplank is what you're doing. Dance our way across the
gangplank. Like yeah, and look very busy.
Yep. OK.
And on the phone. Sure how that one's going for
you, but the the. Talking to my hand, No, we have
to do business. The juice they need this.
It's it's totally worth the squeeze.
I mean, you mean you're not saying any of that out loud And
just like Lip, I'm sinking that into your head.
Into my hand, yeah. OK, the on the other side of the
gangplank there seemed to be 1 crew member who is at at his at
the red heat. And he kind of ends stands up at
the barrel that he's been sitting at with with his food
and if and looks like plates under the plate that he's
already eating on. And he stands up as you guys are
coming across the gangplank abruptly and holds his fins up.
And he goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who are you?
We bring, we bring in the juice, man.
We're bringing the juice here. You want the juice, We bring the
juice. And he kind of looks side to
side, looks over to the captain's tables, which
everybody seems to be preoccupied with eating, and he
goes kind of juice. Orange.
And he? They're very exotic, very
palpable. And he pulls a a mug out from
off the off the deck and walks over And he goes, you got to
tap. I'll taste the juice before it
goes over. Wait, So what did it?
Bread. Juice Jeffrey gets alarmed.
Wait, what did what did you? Say we got, we got to something
happen. We have to.
We got to tap it. Set it down on the table to bunk
it. Yeah, we got to bunk it first.
Yeah, you got to wait for us. At least get it on the table
man. Well, I mean, I could do that,
but I think I it'd probably be best if, you know, I, I sampled
it before it went further. He's he's he seems to say that
way that I don't have to alert the captains of.
Don't worry. Are you gonna?
Say check that. Are you a narc?
I'll give you 2 glasses of orange juice if you let us go.
Put it on the table. Now everybody else would only
get one, but you get 2. Or whatever.
What was the insight that you rolled?
Is it my insight right? Plus one so I got a 12.
Oh God, I'm going for persuasion for this.
Please Jesus 23 to persuade him to do that, I'm going to offer
him 2 for us to put it on the table 1st and then bring it to
him. What?
Modifier are you using? I have a + 3 for KIRO you're.
Not KIRO, you're Little or Arlson right now.
True persuasion. Yeah, what's?
Your persuasion is +4. Plus I'd use the plus 3 is
what's their old net 20. Oh nice, still.
Pretty good. How was my negotiational skills?
First thing first, Raul's insight, which I'm so used to
that Jeffrey's insight, You, you, you'd notice that he he
doesn't seem to be of a mind to actually tell the captains.
He just wants his share, especially because he's been the
one left to guard. You know, he kind of wants once,
once it's due and. He wants summarization.
He looks over at at Yarl who was making the negotiations and he
goes. I like the sounds of this deal,
but before I could say very much.
So yes, we are talking about the same juice, right?
Juice. Yeah.
OK, well First things first, you're going to want to go over
there just behind the mast because we don't want the
captain's table seeing it, says with the and hand over his
mouth. Yaro gives him like the biggest
like OK sign. And then he he turns and makes
some motions to the crew behind him make way and and to hush
about it and make the everybody sees you with the obvious keg
and. That use.
Make the biggest opening in their ranks for you to to hurry
through. Bread, juice, bread juice.
You scurry through, presenting it proudly to rural nobody know
a thing. On top of the keg is a little
bit of hard tech. We did good, right Rosen?
You did the great that. This is perfect.
I turn around. The ladies and gentlemen, you
have to stay quiet, but we're going to have a talking contest.
Yes. I'm also going to, yeah, doing
like a little shimmy dance. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, also hand out pamphlets for our company.
It'd probably be with disadvantage in in in the case
that there was also like a big hubbub made around this.
OK, I need to roll. I need to roll. 20.
Turtles though. 27th. Oh, beautiful.
Or passive, I don't know if they have passives.
Yeah, good point. I'm trying to get to any of
their stuff though now it is very far at the bottom of my
list and I should probably should have just searched it
first. OK, this one.
To get so many of these turtles flocked.
They're going to get so drunk and that way.
I never thought the turtles that the turtles were like a
seafaring folk. The only one I know of was in a
like kept in the hole for his entire life kind.
Of makes sense though the turtles.
OK, here we go. All right there.
What was it that you got again? I'm just looking at their sheet.
27. Oh, was it disadvantaged 20?
Seven. Yeah, disadvantaged 27 instead
of a 31. It was very depressing.
Sorry, I'm still sneak. Sneaky as fuck.
Sneaky. So sneaky.
I'm sneaky and I'm fast. Gotta go fast.
Yeah. I gotta go fast.
Yeah, outside to not playing so many characters, how I know it's
wisdom based for perception, but they don't give me a passive
perception I'm I'm not seeing on here.
It's just a 10 plus your base modifier.
Yeah, so 10 plus your wisdom mod.
OK, so then it's just 10. So yeah, you, you they're,
they're very much engrossed in the food.
And you're noticing that to kiddo, from your perspective
that everybody's very complimentary to the chef on
aboard Du Dune. And even one of the the mates
that's closest to you probably leans over and goes, they do
like side gigs. We we could really use another
hand here, or at least them to teach some of our crew to cook
like this. Oh I'm I'm sure we can make and
help y'all with better food accommodations.
I know that the Admiral and the rest of the crew, they have
really good connections in sorcerities.
I'm sure they can get you a fine chef.
OK, I sounds lovely. I know we haven't started
negotiations yet, so apologies. And he just kind of leans back
over to his food actually, and then takes his glass that's he's
only been sipping at so far of the dark rum that you'd seen
before. And now there's some offered in
front of you too. This is from our private stock.
And he wears a little bit more in your glass and a little bit
more in his, and raises a toast to the rum rollers.
And KIRO lifts his glass and kind of, you know, gives it a
quick sniff test before he actually attempts to drink it.
You can tell it's pretty high proof stuff, but otherwise
you're not getting any notes of anything else besides.
God sake molasses dragon. God sake being a dragon, he
takes a nice drink of it, which, yeah, I know that's going to
provoke me. A constitution, I know.
Oh yeah. Luck be with me.
Luck be with me.
Instead of giving. You the IT was not.
It was not with me. I've.
Given that to you, I've got a shit con.
Poison because I'm a dwarf. Oh, got it.
Yeah, yeah, 'cause I don't believe The Imperials, to my
recollection, Jacob, when we made, when I made The Imperials,
I don't believe they got anything.
Cool at all? Alright, it's.
Humans. So.
Yeah. Yeah.
So just for your reference, this is the table that I I generally
I've got it pin pinned in the chat and everything, but I was
going to put it in general chat again.
No, it doesn't do that, but I can do do one of these I think
too where so just just a streamlined thing is here.
Tipsy I just get oh God. You should be just just should
just be tipsy which gets you to gain advantage on charisma based
checks and saving throws. Oh hey, advantage on charisma,
yeah. Which is exactly what you need
for negotiation. I mean, I mean, this is good to
see, this is good for negotiation purposes.
I feel like later it should be you think you have advantage,
but really you have disadvantage.
Oh, that is absolutely later. This is just the just the forms
of tipsy though, you know, just like that, that buzzed state.
I know there's technically a buzz state right after this,
which actually does give you disadvantage on dexterity, but I
just posted the actual able to to see for for quicker
reference. But yeah, so you failed the
first DC you were currently tipsy.
Oh yeah, no, no, I'm underworld. No, I have.
No, no, the half Dragons did. I did not do.
And it gets harder from here. Oh lovely.
So anyhow. But they seem to be being tame
and only be drinking with their food.
So you feel it kind of already only just taking effect and
going back over to the other two with the keg now.
Are are you shoeing the other rural Ralston's?
Back on to a dune I'm guessing. Or are you?
I mean, they can chill and they can they can hang out in the
libations because they're not a we're not in combat right now,
But I tell them to be ready just in case.
Sure, sure. So probably have them also help
with like sneaking around and doling out some of the juice
because it's less suspicious. But yeah, I'm trying to.
I'm trying to get the the crowds to like us by hosting a drinking
competition or I try to find the biggest dude or whatever.
I can't outdrink the biggest guy.
I don't do that. I'll die.
Grab the closest guy, smallest. Yeah, we just pass.
Well, I mean, we'll pass out like booze and stuff to
everyone. Trying to get everyone out
there. Like generally on our side.
I'm trying to talk up the rum rollers, soccer trees in
general, like a new a new business opportunity that I've
recently come across that kind of stuff.
You can roll persuasion just to see how it goes, or you could
come up with a new skill and call it public speaking based
upon the other ones. I'll just use persuasion all.
Right. Do I get advantage or any
modifiers thanks to? I would say you get advantage
probably with the with the, yeah, with the booze that
everybody seems to be like coming up with a lot of intrigue
and kind of listening to you. But at the same time, just like
booze, Yep, Yep, Yep, booze. Yep, my siblings I think are
going to be mingling and trying to also listen in for any
interesting tidbits. Insider trading potential.
That kind of stuff. Oh, OK, so.
You're like not insider trading, but like just trying to get a, a
vibe check. So you're changing your tune now
with the 20 persuasion. I'll just lean off with that,
though, that you know, you're you're not only seeing them just
going Yep, Yep, booze. But some of some of them are
actually intrigued by the idea. It seems like an go on while
they're waiting in line and you're talking about to or for
their for their cup. And some of them you get the
question of well, are there are there going to be, you know,
places for our nest mates? That's something I've I've I've
always wanted. Is for your nest mates.
You mean like a house? Yeah, yeah, I think they're
called buildings on land. Yeah, I don't want to be
insensitive, but don't you have one?
No, we don't usually build very much more than a tent, or I
think you call it shacks. Might be some of the nicers
things that we have on land. Our ships are where we really
shine, but we also are mostly trader and transient.
Lot move. Places.
Yes, that makes sense. Yeah, actually.
So we have a lot of sway. Shondar, our new buddy and the
business partner, he lives on an island a little ways away.
He's got a lot of beachside property that has come up for
sale recently, or maybe not for sale, but for for crabs.
So what I was thinking is if everything goes well between our
captains and you guys go into business with us, we could try
to set you guys up with like base there and then maybe some
like rented spaces in in Socrates.
Actually, we want to scale up and get our own, you know,
commercial district and the shipping yard and that kind of
stuff. And with that, we'll have to put
on auxiliary buildings and and the workforce hot accommodations
and all that kind of thing. But you know, we have a very
strong position right now as the exclusive rights trading for
both directions between Socrates and Shunders Island, which is
very lucrative trade. It's just we need some help and
unfortunately we don't know where to look.
And I say that very suggestively.
During the beginning part of that, he seems very hopeful and
then his eyes kind of glaze over when you start talking about all
the different aspects and lingo and everything.
And then when you ask about help and he he just starts nodding
his head and he goes I, I think, I think that'll be good.
Our captains will hopefully make a deal upon just even hearing
some of that. I don't know what all that was
that you said there, but you know, as long as we can have a
firm, firm place, the standing, we've been transient for so
long. Some of our and I aforementioned
estimates are are quite adamant and actually setting up these
solid places because of course we need a place for the young
ones. Would you fill out the survey
for me? On a scale of one to 10, how
desperate are your people for a place to live?
On a scale of one to 10, what do you care?
Do you need weekends or days off?
It looks at you with like a, like a like a real befuddled
look. And it just goes, want me to
make a map? And then looks at like the piece
of paper that I'm presuming you're holding.
And here's you say 1 to 10. And he goes, no, Oh, what's
this? Not that kind of scale, like a
like a one being. No, you do not recommend like
you would not go back to a restaurant because it was not
good. And the 10 being like, Oh my
God, yes, the third time I have a chance, I will go there.
I'm so happy. You know, like one being
happiness is like 1 is you're very unhappy and you might
murder someone and the 10 is like the best day of your life.
I'm sorry, I forget the question already and most of us don't
know how to read. Wow, We should teach you how to
read where you know we're going. You're going to have to learn
how to read because they're going to be shipping notices in
the forms and things like that we'll deal with.
That. For now.
Drinking and the mates and the mates they've learned to read.
We're just right. We're we're just happy being the
crewman, you know, and enjoying doing the line work in sales and
all of the rest that comes with the the ship there and taking
our cut back to our nest mates. Oh gosh, your crewmen, your
your, your captains have it down.
You guys are going to be perfect employees.
You just you see him mouthing the word employee.
This is like real. Hand him a drink.
And he just gets a bigger grin on his face, takes the drink and
wanders off. How's Grande?
I'm handling all this too. He turned back into a rat to to
fuck off yet or. Oh no, he has made a sandwich
and is going to go find a quiet place to give the sandwich to
all of the rats he promised a big sandwich.
OK, I see. So you've gone in the meantime
while Rarl has been doing all of that and found another quiet
corner like you said, and probably close to some of the
lower decks, I would guess Even so that you could because that's
what I I'm I'm I was trying to listen to it and I didn't catch
anything where you would said specifically how you would, you
know, alert them just that you would I.
Was just going to let them know like I would.
I would just like like. I imagine that yelling would
speak to them animals on works just as well as just normal
yelling. I don't know.
Only because it would only have known you as a rat, right?
That's. True, but I suppose I hadn't
figured that far out ahead either.
But. I get it.
What? Happens.
One way or the other, you could roll a performance on or the
only thing that I'm thinking of that fits the fits the bill and
tell me which way you're going. I'll turn on Speak with Animals,
Kessler, I'll do the ritual and then I'll go carry my sandwich
down below like decks and just kind of like talk in a loud
voice while we speak to Amazon that I have something for them
and I'll leave it out. OK, so then you would probably
see some scurrying out to greet you as you were talking in rat
and getting to the edge, and one of them even being Tizia, and
you only recognize her because of one of her tails, a little
bit shorter than the rest and out of kind of some of the
shadows. And you can see some of their
eyes gleaming, but they don't come out of the shadows,
especially not once they see and hear.
Your foot falls along the deck until you sit down the food.
And then they all swarm it, probably while you're walking
away with Chitzia hanging back kind of sorrowfully looking at
you. And it was like, almost like, I
recognize that voice, but you don't look like the person that
I was talking or the rat I was talking to.
Please. Tell me you're going to have a
romance with a rat have. A rat and and then.
The and offer her to hide in my pocket.
And she looks back at the sandwich, looks back at you.
I'll. At least have a.
Familiar in the pocket. Familiar slash girlfriend.
And do you have any other like food in the pocket?
I'll I'll cast good Barry if I need to just.
OK, so yeah, she's looking longingly between the sandwich
and into your pocket. And then see after you cast good
Berry. What is the form of your good
Berry, by the way? Piece of cheese.
A piece of cheese? Any specific type of cheese?
To be Swiss right or or Yeah, it's got to be Swiss classic
like. Swiss.
Yeah, a, a, a, a nice salty Swiss appears in your pocket as
TCO looks back at you from the sandwich.
Seeing the the hearty chunk in there OPS readily into your
pocket and starts devouring the cheese.
Friends seem nice. Let's go get some booze.
Ooze ooze. Maybe you can have a little bit.
I don't know how it affects you guys.
I'll make sure you're OK though. She just goes on the cheese.
Bottle back up family a little rat family proceeds.
Which kind of children you would you produce?
I I'm just don't ever if this proceeds, don't ever let grind
up anywhere near A wish spell. No.
And at last I see all. Right, according to Google, rats
can drink alcohol. Yay.
He will give her a thimble full. This is so weird.
Apparently, male rats also drink more alcohol than female rats.
Interesting. And they develop tendencies to
rely on alcohol to cope with distress.
Same. So yeah.
Going to I'm going to try and out drink everybody because I'm
a dwarf and that's what we do, damn it.
Oh yeah. Yeah, onus, onus in him.
Drinking so much tag on the others to drink in an attempt to
get the whole place trashed. Yes.
Do you guys want to? It doesn't seem like the booze
went out as far as you would like it to because it's one keg.
I think a keg holds about. Not a lot.
Yeah, a regular old age cake, not like the kegs that we have
these days either, which I think can hold up to like 10 gallons,
but that's, you know, compressed egg actually put.
A lot of pomp and circumstances carrying that keg over if it
was. Just yeah, no to.
Pressed keg. No, to be fair, I think also to
the kegs actually would have held more back then now that I'm
rethinking what I just said because I think it was only 10
that a keg holds these days, 10 gallons.
But I if if you're looking back to a barrel size, right, that's
how they would barrel most things in the standardized
barrel was a 55 gallon. Yeah, that's a lot of juice.
And holy, a pint is so it's about 440 pints.
So that would get everybody a glass and quotations because
they don't have glass where they have tankards or what have you
there. We'll call it a pint.
Disappointing, right? We'll carry on, but yeah, so
with 440 pints, everybody has one and you know, there's
probably about a 1/4 of the keg left.
Apparently a cask of veil is 125 liters.
Well, I'm sorry, it's 1/4 cask a full.
Cask that's bigger. Than that.
Yeah, there's all kinds of different sizes for sure.
But that's like the standard size is 55.
All right, where are you? I'll enjoy my beer then.
And then and then that's probably when, so everybody
would have to rule a Constitution saving.
Half a gallon Half a gallon a. Little beer then.
So a a pirate rum barrel held up was about 7 inches long by 66
inches in diameter and would hold up to 1/2 a gallon of
distilled rum. Oh, OK, yeah, you're talking
about rum. Or booze in general, but rum?
Yeah, Rum specifically distilled, that's completely
different category there. We're talking about just a.
Beer. A beer?
Yeah, like 5 to 10% in that range.
It was Yeah 17 on my call. I see, I see that that is a
save. So you're good with the first
one. You're still sober for the most
part at this point. 14 for me. You will have and you are is or
you have. That's right.
With that, I mean, you still
succeeded with the first one. So because it's it, it starts
with 10 and you, you're both, you're both still sober and
there are 140 glasses left. And that's probably when you
guys are like, let's start a drinking challenge.
Yeah, let's drink. And the one the ones at your
table, we'll say it fits and including yourself.
So there's 8 and some of those change out at this because
they're they're trying to hold true to their captain's word, it
seems like. But some of the other rowdy your
bunch move in and around you. And I try to convince them by
claiming that. Didn't the captain say that do
anything that would make us happy?
One of them just goes, yeah. It would make me very happy to
drink with friends. And you get a few more of them
go going, Yeah. And.
Yes, you. See you, you don't see from your
perspective, but one of the mates look over to see what's
going on. It just seems like you guys are
being a little bit more rowdy. I'm going back over to KIRO 2.
You guys are finishing up your course, your last courses of of
dessert of the Andy. I think it it was honeycomb.
I can't it was like a candied honey seaweed comb or something
like that. Anyhow, finishing that up, it
just kind of like crunching on it with the last drink of the 2G
of our liquor that's been served.
Get the so you get the that glass still full sitting in
front of you, kiddo. And the Admiral turns to you and
goes leans back in his chair. Pat's his stomach and is like
gnawing on the the honeycomb, and he pulls it out of his mouth
to take a little sip. Sounds like the crew's having a
good time. Seems like they're still keeping
it under pretty good wraps, though.
I do worry though, once we try to settle down, that they'd
actually need their own area for libations, because they do get
quite quite rowdy. I expect we'll see that.
Some of them I'm sure have snuck something.
Oh, we can only hope that they can keep themselves well behaved
for I'm sure obviously you know, our meetings and stuff.
Yes, yes. Well, I, I, you guys have seen
your, your crew seem to have been fairly well salted out here
on the seas. And I'm sure you can understand
that letting loose every now and again isn't too harmful.
It's just you've got to, you've got to let it be known that
there, there are, there's still another day's work ahead of them
is the main reason for some of the control that you've seen
around here. We've got lives at stake here.
Many, many lives. Of course, of course, I
completely understand. One should have moderation in
all things, and a stern commanding hand is always well
needed. Agreed, he says with a bit of a
surprise twinkle in his eye and he takes the honeycomb, sucks on
it for a second and pulls it back out and goes.
I'm glad to see that none of my unintended slights to you have
haven't lasted until now. But you understand rank has to
be followed, otherwise orders mean nothing from the top.
You know? How do you follow someone that
you can't trust to hold your life above their own?
Of course, Admiral Mimi was very.
Helpful in my understandings of proper etiquettes and
understanding my place while we conduct these negotiations.
Yes, well, good. I think then soon as we finish
off this last drink here, we can start those and he, he raises a
glass and he says do the future. To the future, and Carol raises
his glass. And the captain?
God, please be nice to me. Please.
Oh God, you gotta be kidding me. All right, where do I go now?
Let's see here I am now officially buzzed.
So is the captain singing of of of his lips a little bit and
he's he's also buzzed. So he he takes disadvantage on
dexterity and gains advantage on strength.
Still, you still have the tipsy benefit I believe as well which
gives you the advantage on Charisma.
Anyhow, anything else you want to add there?
You guys are finishing off that drink before I switch back over
to see how this drinking game is going.
I am very pleased that these are negotiations are going so
swimmingly, Admiral. I hope all all our endeavors may
they seek us greater honor and fortune.
As he starts like sort of like kind of a little bit of a sway
in his seat. Yeah, trying trying to hold the,
you know, trying to hold his composure like his, you know,
you know, he is half of a dragon.
He is trying for that, you know, draconic composure, doing his
absolute best not to, not to end like besmirch his captain's
image. Yeah, and that's why he spoke
out of turn. You can tell it kind of bubbled
up out of him that whether or not that was a pun about if it's
everything's going swimmingly. He kind of chuckles without you
responding and holding your composure and slaps the table
and he goes, well, I appreciate the candor.
You've done quite a good job for your captain and represented
them well, I I thinks, and that their crew would be happy to, to
have you as a first mate. I do wish though to at least
tell you that among our crew and understanding that we haven't
flown under someone else for a long time.
So it's it's been usual for us to take, take things into our
own hands and we've had lots of run insurance with pirates.
So I apologize for some of the sternness again, because with
the you see, with the hard times that we've been under, I've I've
had been under a lot of stress myself trying to take take
account for all of the Nestimates, as I'm sure you can
understand, have been on my ass as well as some of and you see
some of the the first mates and other captains kind of hang
their head at this. And as well as some of these
these fine gentlemen here, But they they keep me straight.
It's it's, I understand it's it's a lot for anyone.
Oh, you honor me with such praising of me for my, my, my
commander. And I'm sure that, like myself
to my commander, it is an honor for us to support such great
leaders and hopefully bring great fortune for not only
ourselves, but our crews. And I am quite sure.
And he again starts, you know, his mind's a little fob, but
he's trying his best. I am sure that if you were to
ask, we, the rum rollers would gladly have you.
Have you sailed with the colours of us?
But I would be presumptuous insteading if you would even
accept such an offer. Maybe we can try for grandeur
and maybe have you sail with the colours of Socrates or some way.
But we would be honored. I know my Admiral will be
honored if you would sail with her colours.
He leans back and takes his hand and strokes This where a beard
would be and leans back forward and after some contemplation and
goes. That would be nice but to be
honest I think flying under Socrates colours might be a bit
hard for them in steepness of price.
I don't know what we could offer them besides our our flag, if
you understand what I mean. You don't usually start a
bargain off with the steepest from our side.
Well, I guess you do from the other side.
So I could be spoken with though for for the Queen.
But I think flying under the rim rollers may add some more
freedoms to our. You would have all the freedoms
as long as you would show friendships and aid and give us,
you know, and we would more than compensate you, your crew for
all the help that we have garnered with certain trades and
you know, transportations. As long as you know everything
is Admiral. I am sure Admiral Mimi would
love for your fleet to merge with her fleet and make one
great united fleet that will prosper the seas.
Did you like the sound of that? You like the sound of that?
But what is in it for you besides our help?
We are, but you know, one elements.
It would take many, many, many successive journeys to go back
and forth to all of our different trading hubs to
continue these great voyages. Why not share in our wealth and
allow you, who sail under my admiral's flag, to benefit from
such great trade routes and fortunes that come from it?
So to be clear, he kind of like it's a sobering breath and puts
his hands on the table kind of to study himself.
The Rum Rollers would do the purchasing of the land from
Socrates for our crew of the Kobuk Sun and all those under
us. And we would are you not our
normal routes, but the routes that you you declare but still
amongst the sea, but with having the stable lands that we seek
but under. That would be that would be what
my Admiral would offer along with not so much purchase, but I
believe my Admiral has enough goodwill that and the good work
that they have done for the the Monarchy of Socatees that
something as you know easy as land to help a people that would
like to set roots would be a trifling thing for a gracious
monarchy to give to such good hard working individuals such as
you and your crew. I'm liking the sound of that.
Shall I have any gestures to his
first mate? The Meteor draft up to the
proposal and we shall go over it in great detail.
I would love nothing more. Of course it shall be done with
much more booze and he pulls out another bottle and sets it on
the table for them to start passing around and pouring out
drink. Of course, let us continue.
How's how's the drinking game going?
Our way through all suddenly all my hair stands up on end and I
suddenly bolt upright and said no unions I'm going to sit back
down. That was weird.
Right, 20 No unions, 21 All right.
Is doing. OK, it's gonna say here I'm
gonna. Pearls's capitalist capitalist
senses are. Tinkling.
Where the heck did the? I heard freedoms and I was like,
no unions there's. Like 140 left.
Oh no. 13 for me. Oh no though, did you wait?
No, you haven't failed 1 yet, right?
Yeah, he has. He hasn't failed yet.
All right. OK, just say I think it said
eight, but if it's lower than yeah, we're we're going to say 8
minus that one for a So like we're down to 1150 drinks left
in it and that was not the rules I wanted also need to roll over.
Here. I I now need Windrose to do a
cover of Drunken Sailor in my life.
Yeah, I know. That's what I was thinking too.
And it seems like the crew that are drinking with you hold, hold
up. And they're like and more so
just you guys pour out a third round.
Let's do it and. We're down to a. 100 and a. 130
glasses. BMI go up and thus my alcohol
tolerance. You would have to use bare
stats. I is your is the Constitution.
Higher for them, honestly. OK, so I'm seeing no.
Oh yeah, you cast it on yourself then too.
Oh no, I'm a dwarf. Oh, that's what they get you an
advantage for poison. Gotcha.
So you just eek by on that last one.
It kind of hangs on to the back of your throat at the third
round and you're you kind of feel your voice getting even a
little bit gruffer, but you're still sober at this point at 3
beers in and let's go back over here.
Oh, from one this one. And it's only I should just be
able to do that. That one.
They just you just hung on, but they they got meets.
It beats it. So they got a 10 and they're
they're just like in another round yet either at 3, which
leads it back down to 120 left in the keg.
Let's do it. This might be my first fail.
Hello. I see an 8 and an 8 and then 18
and a 14. So grand am you're still sober
whereas yeah, rural you are just feeling it at tipsy and get
limbo and the turtle. So yeah, you have gained
advantage on your Charisma checks, and the rest of the
turtles are just getting a little bit louder, but still
seeming like they're more or less over there, kind of talking
amongst each other. And you're kind of looking
around too. And you're like, wait, are they
switching out turtles? I don't.
I don't even know. I in my tipsy state, start
talking about my hatred of unions to all the turtles nearby
and hopes that they are just waited from ever starting to
start one and you're probably they band together all these
people. They say we're not going to work
unless you give us houses. No, not houses, electricity.
And you probably. Or accidentally.
Like. The tax implications alone?
What? Was that grand Am?
Laurelson accidentally create the first union.
So I was going to say that that you're probably like holding the
beer at because as you're like distributing it, you know,
saying some of this propaganda, I would guess, and kind of like
inadvertently holding it away from them and on the advantage
for it. They're just like, yeah, yeah,
you dude suck. Can I have that alcohol now?
Boris, thanks for agreeing. And they're like another one
that leads it down to 110 that were left, I believe.
I think we're on. Oh God did.
You know that the that your existence is just a fragile
veneer painted thinly over a much grander cosmos.
I get an ass blade, I do not. Are you talking are you talking
to Ryalson or the? Anybody that'll listen?
So Ferraro probably overheard it, I guess.
And just as like yeah and some of the other I.
Stop what I'm doing and I go sit down to talk to him.
You understand? Are you awake?
I know the. Are just like starting to help
themselves with the tap it seems like with 110 left.
We're going to let that go and I'll probably grab one or two as
they're doing that. OK, you want to roll those?
We'll just say three more constitutions and we'll do the
same. Damn these.
Turtles drunk. Fucking jacked.
They don't even have any, they just have a + 1. 21 and 20.
Oh turn off fucking dwarfs. Yeah, he's you're still going
strong as sober you failed the the next one.
Did you rule? The first one, yeah, I did four
more. I think welcome to Welcome to
Buzz Life. Hey, so there's a fail again,
lightweight. Yeah, you you got.
Fail again. Oh yeah, that's right.
Because advantage. Yeah, you got a 20 on the next
two, it looks. Like 2828.
Yeah, a 20 and an 8. Yeah, which is funny.
Your roles tend to do that for some reason.
Repeat themselves. It's weird anyways.
We're watching UNSA. So you you're currently buzzed
with a disadvantage on Dexterity and advantage on Strength and
the advantage on Charisma. I don't know, I'm going to start
going on about conspiracy theories at some point.
You are the simulation theory with.
Grand am to talk. You guys have made it yourself
through 3 beers in the meantime. I don't know what you guys are
talking about, but you guys were talking about that simulation
greater. Cosmic truth.
Yep. Oh God no.
I've got a vial of a of a kind of muddled tea, like a liquid,
and I show it to Grand Am. You know, this is this is a
reality, this will show you the truth, but it doesn't always
work. Oh no, pupils will dilate.
Yeah, you have to wait, though. I hand it to him if you don't
make it, and I hand him a little card with a handwritten note
that's not in my handwriting with a date, November 3rd.
Take it on this day. OK.
Oh, you guys are still OK, except for Rarl.
Even the turtles, they're still, that was still strong.
Yeah. And we're down to we took it
down three more there for a total down to just like eight.
I think it was at 1:10. So it has 80 drinks left.
But not even getting buzzed yet, Grand AM is going to put his
mouth under the tap. I was just about to say, do you
want to? Kickstand.
That would be, I would say just under the tap would be
disadvantage for the Constitution check, you know,
because it's gone straight to your head, kind of like the keg
stand. You.
Know now you're now you're tipsy and we'll say that took off.
Of course it did. Only one you just you just took
one drink straight to the head basically and got the gypsy
feeling. Finally the turtles around you
are like, yeah, and they follow suit, hitting their
disadvantage. Good thing too.
There it is. That's a Nat one.
So they all are finally they with a Nat one, they'll skip
ahead and go up to being buzzed with rural and they're all just
getting a little bit more raucous too after this, this,
this effect and we'll see. It's down to like 25 drinks now
because they've been all hitting it pretty hard.
Oh man, I just realized something.
I've been hitting the wrong button for the saving throw.
Oh, what have you been hitting? I have a plus.
OK, so my modifier is a + 3, but my saving throw is a + 6.
Oh. 3 Well, I know it's worked out.
Yeah, yeah. I'm I'm, I'm I'm stoked the the
negotiations going swimmingly least Kira's fund, right?
No unions. Of course, no unions.
What's a union? I.
Don't know when I wanted to stay that way.
Actually, I do know now. One of them, one of the turtles
does come up and goes, what do we win if if we're the last one
standing and he's like swigs the keg around, He's like, there's
not much left in here. 1st pick of your house when we get them.
We make that promise. Nope, I said when and if we get
them. Oh.
Conditional pricing. Yeah.
And also this disclaimer list. I show him a really long list of
text and then hide it. And he just kind of shrugs at
that, but then he looks over to like one of the crew that's been
had been eating. Like I'm in proper ish.
Kind of like the captains and and mates looks like he's fixing
to be he he might be a third or a second That's fixing to be a a
first. You know, that's down here with
the crew and he he's like write that down.
Whoever finishes this keg gets fierce pick of the house and he
just puts his mouth on it and opens the tab. 55 more drinks to
go. What a man grand am just like
starts cheering Chug chug chug chug chug.
I also begin screaming chug and try to get everyone else in the
hall to join in. Who cares about the being quiet?
We're bobbies. I love doing this.
I'm almost there and we are at 50.
Roll. Roll persuasion to try to
convince other people to do this.
Yeah. 596 I don't know if that actually it did.
It did show it like that. That's funny, but on my screen I
should be able to see most of the dice still.
Oh Nope, they dispute. Oh oh, I see an 18A1A2 an 8.
I see the rest of these. Oh, here we go.
I just got to hover over it. And so yeah, he's plastered.
He actually might. Let me see here.
Does he taste colours? Just have to see how many fails
he's he's he has to get to. They were buzzed, that's what I
said. And they get neutral one they
black out and pass out after one 2-3 more fails.
And he did that by the he's like glug glug, glug, glug.
And by the 4th glug he he just falls down to the deck with the
tap still open and another, another guy jumps in front of
him to take his place and. Because write that down. 123
four as well before he passes out on top of him and another
one grabs his place. 123-4567 The next guy makes it before he
passes or no he doesn't pass out still because that's just one
one fail. 89101112131415161718 He makes it in 18 glugs before
he passes out on top of it with three people on passed out,
another one jumps in. 123-4578, 910-1112. 13 He's going to get
his own free house. The next guy makes it 13 plugs
in before he passes out on top of it, and there's a pile of
three turtles when you jump in. And if you want to roll, there
are approximately 12345678910 drinks left in this thing.
Do I have disadvantage since I'm going from the tap?
Yes. So wait, just a normal roll?
So it's a normal roll, yeah. And that one, that's the first
glug. Now you're you were Ipsy, right?
So now you're buzzed. I'm.
Seven God damn it. Now you're drunk. 23.
That's 4, right? 16. 5 go.
Go, go. 21. Go Ninja 6. 817. 7. 21/8 not
one. Nine you've got you've got one
more fail left in you and one more drink left in the tap.
You don't pass out, but you are blackout.
You do not have any more memory left in the in the night, the
rest of the night and that. Might be a very bad thing.
I'm going to try to convince you to do so many things.
You won't need to convince him, he will do them.
You should. Help me hunt down that rat.
He is going to transform into a rat.
I'm going to use my horrid form feature it's going to have.
The Chitzia comes out too as as you transform.
I would guess because. Yeah.
Oh, I'm going. About to break her.
Heart. Oh no.
Or you're now a blackout drunk rat.
You are the rat. The whole time Cheapsy is
gnawing on the rind of the cheese as she plops down on the
deck and she looks over at you and she goes, oh wait, you got
booze, where's the booze? She says that she throws the
rind to the side. The drippings over there that's
spelled, you can get some. Oh OK.
And then she just hops on top of the unconscious turtles and it's
like her head tilted back as there's drips coming out the the
bottom of the cake in the open tap.
Oh my God, what is a rash? And I will open up in the middle
of Grand Am rats back and look up at Rarlson before he looks up
at him and waves squeaking. I look away.
I think we've been attacked. I jump up to my feet.
Oh my God, there's a wizard somewhere turning people into
rats. I shake my head vigorously.
I look for the wizard I saw earlier.
I turned back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no. He cancelled his spell.
I'm a druid I think. Oh.
I was a druid. Are you only a druid when you're
a rat? I'm always a druid.
But you said you were a druid. I'm a druid.
Is that your girlfriend? I don't.
Know and you look over at Cheetzio who's got beer all over
her, her fur and her whiskers and it's kind of cleaning some
of it off in between the drops and you can tell that she's
already on her way to drunk but is buzzed because her eyes are
like partially dilated but also like when she looks back at you
she's like she she you can see. She gives them the luck.
Yeah, you can see the look. They don't live wrong.
And also she's like like I'm I'm I'm pretty sure I was a dwarf.
I'm not 100. I can be a bear.
I can be. You know.
Octopus. I'm gonna be a rat.
A squirrel is a raccoon. What happens if you have a baby
with one of them? I never tried, no, you know, I
never tried to have a baby with any of them.
Even the dwarfs. There's like my family, there's
lots of kids. So I don't really like need to
worry about like heirs or anything like that.
Like, right, grand grandpa, great, great, great, right, 100
times. Great grandpa got around a
little bit and I think he might have been a little bit of a
polygamist. Oh no, it doesn't.
Was. He also at the hood.
No, no, no. He was a he was a salesman, I
think all things. I mean, I'm, I'm kind of a
salesman, so I get it. Yeah, he had the money and he's
like the patriarch of my client. He's he's doing all right.
Does that rat wanna fuck me? Yeah, I think so.
That's why I asked you before about what happens if you have
children with these animals while you're on animal form.
Is it like 1/2 dwarf? Is that how rat people get the
born? Wait, what does that say about
my cat people? I can't make that decision.
I can't make a new race, man. Are you my?
Grandfather, she's nice and I don't know am I?
You said you've never had that child with anything.
Have you ever had it? I'm not going to talk about this
anymore. I haven't.
I don't think at this point too, it's.
Kind of hard. It's come stumbling up to you
and it says did I hear something about getting hard and.
I raised my eyebrows in a long. Way you can't understand your
role. And I'm squeaking at her.
Yeah, because I pick her back up.
I am. You are very small and I am very
big, and I don't like the moral implications of where this could
go. But.
If you can ever turn into a, maybe I could teach you to be a
druid and you can get big and turn into a dwarf or an elf or
something, I don't know. That'd be neat.
Fuck for bad people. I don't see how this what's
wrong with love. The the was well, you know, the
love of a capacity of a rat. The love of a capacity of a rat
is you bring me food. I I, I'm, I love you and you
look like me. We make babies.
That's that's rat. True, she's not the one in the
moral Gray area. No, no she's not.
No, I'll he'll pat her on the top of the head.
And then, then and then fall asleep, turning back into a
dwarf maybe? Yes.
OK, go back over to KIRO while you under the moral dilemma that
you had. So to finish it up here with the
with the with it. He he pulls out the paper from
the mate and he goes. I think with this it's a simple
enough thing that I don't expect you to sign, but to take to cap
your captain Admiral and would guarantee her trading privileges
with our crew at the best of our abilities and at the as much as
we can. We can do would be at the rum
rollers full disposal for any trading purposes in the future
as well that the rum rollers promise to do.
Procure lands for us for our nest mates and a settlement for
all of the all of our people. Does that sound in order with
what we've discussed tonight? That sounds in order and I am
sure my Admiral will look upon these with great intent and make
a great and wise decision. Much how you made a great and
wise decision to draw up these documents and come to terms with
my my commanding officer. And he like reaches out with his
hands, like both of them together so he can receive the
paperwork, so he does not drop it.
And you, you, you take take it in both hands and are holding
it. And he goes, If there are any
other riders that need to be put on to the agreement, please just
grab my first mate as I deal with business here, I think.
And he looks at the stars with the moon that's been the the red
moon of Igdras that's been making its way up to the center
and just over to the peaking of the horizon of the green moon of
this is what I get for creating too many things.
Jerks. I got a good TM.
I got it. Backwards, too.
Green is Igdras, who's coming just over the horizon.
Red is Elmar, who's at the top of the of its peak currently,
and you're he's saying, well, we've got a few hours still left
of the night that we could probably order the crews to, to
bed. You could all sleep on it.
And hopefully the Admiral is feeling better in the we can sit
safe at first light. I'll set some of the crew that
have been set aside to ready ourselves to head with you to
Socrates as an escort. That would be much appreciated
and I'm sure the Admiral will be very pleased to have you as an
escort for our final leg of the journey.
KIRO is doing his absolute. He is doing his absolute best to
keep the most formal and stoic look he's got 'cause he's.
His hat in in salute and then except except the glass in the
other hand here, here, and that's all the only cheers you
get for him before he is holding it up to cheers one more time.
Is there anything that you would like to put towards the glass
there Keto son? KIRO to prosperity and to new
beginnings. And you get all of them to
repeat and hold their glasses up, waiting for you to take the
first sip. Oh, and he and he drink.
He gets the drink and I'm actually going to hit the right
button this time. Please, please, please, hammered
now. Yeah, you are.
You were. On to drunk with the game
inebriation condition, which is also what what everyone else I
think except for Royal has at this point because you've held
off the last role. If I remember greatly, you
didn't. You didn't.
You didn't grab onto the keg
like everybody else was doing. That's what it was.
Which as inebriated you have disadvantage on all attack rolls
and ability checks. I believe that you have
advantage that would include. Yep.
Let's see, I'm pretty sure you think maybe.
Oh, I think that's a perfect spot to.
Yep, KIRO is everybody. KIRO is going to officially.
Stands up. The captain stands up just
before that. Walks over to the railing,
though, and before commanding everyone into bed, he goes.
You lose some lot down there. I know you've been holding out
for yourselves. Bring up your glasses and you
see them holding out their tank goods and before everyone else
passes out like those unfortunate lot over there, hold
out your glasses and we are cheering to a new future under
the rum rollers and they he he takes his glass that he just
fills up with an while he was saying that with a dark rum
bottle bottle and puts it to his lips and put swigs it back with
one one last full gulp. And with that, we'll call it a
night. We must set sail in the morning
to take them all to Socrates. He starts slurring more.
We will go and. It might not be so early
anyways, right? And it happens.
Gerald gives one last drink. He he he, he has to keep up with
the other with the Admiral in stay in lock his step with his
captain. So he drinks again to like,
yeah, yeah, 22. Oh nice.
Yeah, he just got a 21. So you guys are just holding
your your own at being drunk and just all happy and giddy from a
good deal that's benefiting both of you, it seems like.
And he's he's he's ecstatic for the future.
So. Hero kind of taps towards his
Torg Rosen. I'm going to need help getting
back. Hi, I'm not Rosen, but it's nice
to meet you. Yeah.
I don't have a torque. I gave it away, yeah.
That's Oh yeah. And Matt, I think has the torque
right. Yeah, and that's me saying.
Yeah, who are? You oh, a wizard formally known.
But don't worry, we'll meet very soon.
And with all with the most. Your home.
Damn. Never mind, I'm assuming you do
all of that into the torque. Yeah, never mind.
He's going to get a little bit of living his brain.
Don't I? Send the brothers?
We need help. We're passing out.
Bursting out from the hole somewhere else, just sprinting
well since I carry. You want to roll back a strength
check for them. Just one to for all three.
They can use my strength. Yeah, I'm not that strong.
We'll see what happens. Strength check is a -1.
Oh dear God, Jesus. 14 Athletics plus 11.
You're able to, yeah. I was going to say you're able
to get them on like all propped up because Grand Am had passed
out too completely. Whereas you know yourself and,
you know, we're just stumbly drunk.
So you guys get on on probably actually close to the brothers
that you guys have played tonight too.
So Jeffrey comes over to you, Rahl, and you're leaning against
him, whereas Grahl's holding up Kyoto.
And Yarl leans over to Grand Dam and kind of picks him up by the
the back of his fancy stuff. And it starts to RIP a little
bit too, as they're just walking back towards the towards the
dune show. A little bit of buns probably as
you're getting onto the other deck.
Bun that. You got?
Yeah, we did it, guys. We did it.
That was nice. Thanks for calling rarlson.
It was a fun little call in. I know, right?
Yeah, yeah. That's so that's that's that's a
fun, fun side note in general too.
If there's anything from your pastor present or like Cheetzia
who seems to be coming on to as the as, it's always some fun
side stuff we can do. I hope you friggin had.
I hope you have a like a a long slow burn romance with this rat.
I know, right? Cheetzia, I have to go into
battle. God, what?
What's great? Does that remind me of the
shaman one, if you remember that.
Josh what? Will do you learn the spell
awaken? Right.
Like level 6? There's a late RPG called Way of
the shaman where a guy spawns in and be as like a goblin and then
has like an AI romance with another like goblin in the video
game. I haven't read this one.
Oh it's not bad, except for that which is a little cringe but.
Little cringe is good every now and again.
Kind of brings you back to reality a little bit.
Oh my God, I tried reading the iron druid.
He sounds like a 12 year old. He's like in the first like
couple chapters. Like the tone of it is very much
like I'm a 14 year old hero, but I like making sex jokes at.
Ninth level. At night in four or five levels.
9 levels. Awaken on cheats, yeah.
And that's the goal. She can become.
A real girl. A real girl, yeah.
Like, because humans are animals, so she would be able to
turn. Like she's seen a human, she can
wild shape into it, right? Wait, she's seen a?
Dwarf, yeah. There you go.
All all, all gracious 4 feet of you.
Oh God, I hope that happens. It's their quality.
Oh. God.
Until then, the moral morality is no.
Is questionable. I don't think Grand Am is even
interested in these things to be perfectly honest.
GTA is. Don't don't worry towards the
the morality of what you were talking about.
When the Iron Druid though, I feel like he sanctions himself
much later and it's kind of it's kind of cool to see the
character development for that. Give it another shot.
Yeah, it takes a little while. It, it's one of those things
that it's like A to me, it was always fast-paced because
they're short books and it was like I was more interested in
the gods than anything else. And how he.
How he structured structured the universe to some degree with the
fact too, that specifically he's got like all of them from all
the different lures on our world existing together, but they have
different like evermore or ever. That's cool.
Differentiating, differentiating kind of like power levels, if
you will, based upon the amount of belief.
That's yeah, they hold the populaces.
So Jesus is like the most powerful.
Right. Yeah, that's great.
That's cool. I will give it another shot.
Olivia's going to be so proud of us, Matt.
We didn't cause chaos. We didn't blow nothing up.
Oh my God. Yeah, I know, right?
Holy crap. I was just waiting for the the
one slightly sussed thing to happen 'cause like I, I have to
play with no chill. He has no chill.
Like he oh like as soon as he like woke up the other time and
like we were surrounded. He attempted to kidnap someone.
He's alert. Oh, oh, and this would this
would so I was I was doing the research for it right.
So technically with Mimi already being technically since it's two
ships, she would be Commodore but.
That what it is. Yeah, it'd be Commodore.
However, since they're wanted to sell underneath Mimi, he would
become a Commodore and Mimi would become the Admiral.
Right, which is some of the wording that would probably be
in there that I just wasn't quick enough to role play.
Commodore. Good wants to bring Matthias
onto this ship so fucking bad sometimes.
I know, right? So much shit, so much.
Shit. So many.
I mean, I mean you. Don't want to like compete with
me may either. I mean a couple more levels.
We could always bring Boris and flagging in here.
Don't tempt me with a good time, I.
Know right? And The funny thing with with
Mimi being the captain is it was never expected as a character
development because this is way back before I even started
recording when they then the articles that Mimi had chosen
being a halfling mime mind you in a Tavern is how they met the
rest of the crew. Mattias back.
Mattias back story is that he was a military Admiral and he
retired from that because like he just was getting old, too old
for this bullshit. And then like he stumbled a
bunch of a bunch of adventures and like you know what?
These fucking idiots are going to die if I don't help them.
Yeah. And it was the opposite kind of,
but similar progression of the fact that like, it seemed that
as Mimi opened up to the the rest of the crew, that's why
they are still standoffish to like newcomers and like
strangers. They don't really talk that much
to him because because of that, some of some of the the stuff.
But for that reason, though, it's kind of rose to the rank of
being the most responsible of the crew.
Yeah. Or just the fact that he was a
divination wizard, like just like, oh, you want.
Yeah, you're doing this. Here's.
This. 15I rolled earlier. You succeed.
Congratulations. I'm party dead.
I. Divination's the best.
I control. Oh, that person failed to like
succeed on their save. No, they didn't.
I rolled bad on this one. Here you go.
Yeah, so in in all clarity in my wizard character is a divination
wizard in a knowledge like with a dip of knowledge cleric.
And yeah, they basically play the same.
They play the same way. And he was also battle match for
fighters. So I would like just, oh, you,
you moved over there. If you want to be here.
Yep. Take an extra step, make a
weapon attack. Congratulations.
It was a fun build. Oh yeah.
I'm I'm unsure what to do with mine eventually just because.
Test out this subclass whenever we eventually get into a combat.
We've been at this feast for four stinking days.
Yeah, don't worry. I think good.
Campaign. I've got set up.
I love role play. Good campaign where we actually
do a lot more role-playing. Evil campaign, we fuck shit up.
Why do you think I started off the evil campaign in the
labyrinth? See, I'm just I really want to
role play in the evil campaign because I like the character
I've made. I mean, we can totally role play
in the evil campaign, it's just we don't have many outside role
plays because we kill them. But if we could totally role
play among among among ourselves.
We got tons of stuff going on in the pocket rocket and we have a
town now. So yeah, it's a whole 30 people
that you can do that with. Franklin Yeah.
Deeply, deeply, deeply concerns fast.
Did good. He really should it's.
Really funny how everyone else
just ignores how concerning Franklin is, but yeah.
Yeah. Oh no, Ezra.
Ezra absolutely loved. I've made a character that's
like cosmically evil in the sense that like all of the good
God, like he, he doesn't care what kind of God it is.
He doesn't want it to exist. Pray it so you just you, you,
you buckle up, big guy, you just buckle up.
Not like he's very like pro humanitarian like he wants to
liberate humanity even if it involves killing all of the
worshippers of a certain God because.
It's the only it's the fastest way to freedom.
That is the fastest way to do the least damage, because if you
takes 1000 years, that's 1000 years more to work.
People that would suffer he I get it.
He wants to create like an ideology that other people
because he knows he's not going to see it happen in his
lifetime. But.
Yeah, I get it. Yeah.
Will you buckle up? It would.
Be interesting to see unfold. Yeah, Franklin knows for.
Him, because he's already in hell and he doesn't know how he
got here, but he has given his ideology.
He has ideas on how he wound up here.
Oh, I bless. Him.
God. OK, so this is your game.
I'm just, I'm pretty thrilled with like the vibe Franklin has
where it's just like totally innocent child, but like at this
like a drop of a hat. We'll just.
Like and Elder Tor. He's a fiend.
I don't know what the fuck he is.
He's deeply concerning. Yes, but he also just wants
hugs, hey, and just wants to be your friend.
He is one of Ezra's best O friendos.
Don't touch. The almost he's.
Planning on getting your hand? Almost lost, right?
A substantial amount of power, though, in trying to sacrifice
himself. In what?
When you try. Oh, when the first time you face
Kai Shane. Yeah.
And you were about to sacrifice
yourself. I'm glad I came up with that.
Like intervening Kai Shen's going to do something here.
I. Mean here's the thing.
I think that would have been just as good of the like like a
conclusion for the character as anything else.
Sure, sure, sure. I I mean, I didn't base it
purely off of what you were doing.
It was more so because you guys were about to fucking die.
Oh yeah, absolutely. We literally had a plant a plant
mall keeping us alive. Yeah.
All right guys, I'll catch y'all next week.
Have a good morning. I'll talk to you in the morning.
Yeah, I have no finishing goals for Franklin.
He could like, like to me, he'll get it redeemed.
I don't know if you have it in your game, but at some point you
said there's a level of hell based on him or like where he's
from. I think, I think that's
something, I think that's something that we've, we've yet
to discuss because we, you kind of came up with it.
But the the real question would be some of the deeds that your
father may have done. Or I mean, you could keep it
super. You could keep it super vague.
Like there's one key kind of event that would kind of stand
out, which is he got kept in the basement, abused for many years.
Eventually his mother attempted to kill or poisoned the dad.
The dad died. She went downstairs, attempted
to poison herself and Franklin. She died.
He didn't. He's still chained down there.
He was forced to eat her, then eat bugs that eventually he died
and got offered the chance for revenge.
Oh, OK. So that that's the general
material plane. Yeah, that's like before he
died. That's generally what happened.
I was just trying to get to the map of hell because to me it
sounds like violence would be the level that he'd be on, but
I'm trying to see if there's anything else that was.
I mean violence, disease, like I yeah, I'd have to look at the
list too. But the like I could totally see
like an end for his character being if the other characters
went there, found his bones and like buried him, he would just
pad, move on, pass on. Oh OK, no God no.
Ezra would probably attack anybody trying to bury you, but
no you, no touch. A bunch of the others probably
would have tried it, but. No, yes, I'm just curious to.
See, I don't know. Would be violence.
We're in the fourth level right now, which is greed.
Definitely wouldn't be lost, wouldn't be decay.
Could be. Well, I think you know what,
this rings a bell. When I was going through them
right now, there is lost fraud, dissension and genocide.
For some reason reminds me of something that you were saying
before, and that's probably what I may have mentioned was the
12th level, and either that or Betrayal, which is ninth level.
I'll, I'll look at the list again and see what I think kind
of fits, but I had a quick question before I go because
dinner's ready. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The helpreck that I have acquired now one of its
abilities when you murder someone, their soul goes to the
river Styx and they spawn as a demon.
That that means like they don't spawn in place right?
They they just go to some ambiguous place and it's AI want
to send you straight to hell card.
Is that is that what you? Is that what you?
Is that what you gave Ezra? Does he have?
The OH. Yeah, Ezra has this too.
Ezra has this too, as well as as well as Faust.
So the thing, the thing with it, so I know it was kind of hard to
describe via text. That's why I kind of held off on
a little bit of it. But so if you look at that same
map that I sent, it's a diagram. Yeah, it's there's a literal
location. And the sticks runs through the
5th, the 3rd, the 10th. The first kind of runs around
Limbo and just down into the 7th.
So it exists in multiple places throughout throughout Hell that
may even touch. Chase spawn on my first right.
That is what I had said when I was looking at when I was typing
it, and that's what I think would make the most sense via
the lore that I was reading for that creature because it's like
a base level themed that they come back as, which would put
them like up. It's generic bad.
Yeah, it's generic for entry level mob.
I will think about that. We may have to travel the back
to the first level of Hell with the Box and make like a big cage
for them so we can collect them later.
I mean, yeah. Or figure out their teleport.
The the the just. Like an auto teleporting like
thing or they just they spawn and get immediately get
teleported into a box. Right, right.
And to be fair, you guys haven't been to the first level of hell
so that that's the that seal has been broken.
No one is necessarily seen it or know this.
This is full meta knowledge though, just because of the fact
that what happened was everybody went into hell right after I
told him not to go into hell because they weren't ready for
it and I wasn't ready for it personally.
So I was like, well what comes before hell is limbo, so you're
going to limbo first. And while in Limbo they seen the
gates to hell. You know, like the actual
physical it's that led to the first level of hell that they
that were brimming with demons and everything ready to come
burst forth and they found a back door in limbo that led
through the shadow realm and decided to take that route.
But in doing so still made it weak enough like the the gates.
And that was the first seal to break and that's why the PNC
made it their way on to Tarth. Damn.
That's sweet, that is good lore. With that though, I am going to
drop Food is ready so thanks for running good games success.
