Hello Fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the campaign.
Allelopolis. Yeah, fuck are your Dick.
The hand of fate tosses, the dice roll, spins, turns.
The campaign starts and ends, leaving memories that become
stories. 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 the campaign that
gave it birth comes again and again.
The hand of fate tosses, the dice rolls, spins, turns
hitherto we left the rum rollers in the pink plush pig, the
magical dance club in Sorcrates enthralled with one of the side
rooms they experience. They experimented with the
Experience Room whilst Queen Fida's guard discussed with them
the plan to face the Red Dragon Shondar.
The Queen Guard gave them a map to his island and pointed it out
on their larger maps of Tareth a few.
Afterwards they summoned a few scenarios in the experience room
and the rumroads discovered quickly they are not prepared
for a battle with a Red Dragon, even a small one.
Rawlson's attempted to convince the Queen's Guard official to
throw in one of the Illusion Experience Room crystals to to
their deal with the Queen for for Shondar's Breath in exchange
for the treasure that the Queen provided was or was going to
provide as a 1% profit in the deals that they had negotiated
while discussing what to do with the Experience room.
Next, the Rollers greet a new companion.
Zenora Cat. Frederick, Meme, and the
Rawlsons all introduce themselves and their current
quandary, to which they proceed with the last Call and closing
the pink plush pig by summoning and interrogating and beating to
death an illusion of Loki for information to hell with
Sonora's giant coin. Choosing then to emerge and
finish Loki off by bisecting him, Mimi collects the enormous
coin with a ring of reasonable size.
During the interrogations, they recorded a message for Flint's
benefit in Hell after the mutilations of Loki and during
the closing of the pink plush pig in the early morning hours.
As the sun washes over the pink plush pig, the Rum Rollers deal
with the Queen's Guard to borrow and crash at the crash pad of
the Queens in the club where they discussed and had Jeffrey
the Magnificent go out and try to find some newties of Queen
Fida for Shondar the Red Dragon, while also searching for Sir
Ferris Telus for advice on how to retrieve a dune from her
bottle so as to sail to Shondar's Island off the coast
of Gargantia. Jeffrey the Magnificent leaves
the room as the rest of the room rollers pile onto a donet's deck
for some much needed rest, leaving Zenora to ponder what in
the actual fuck had she landed in?
Find out what happens this time. So yeah, you're on the decks of
a doune. The waves are washing up a side
of it because you just walked out of the crew quarters where
everybody had kind of stumbled into rooms either drunkenly or
at least half half exhausted and or into a giant pillow pile of
vibrating cocks. Plush cocks and you're probably
enjoying the sound of the waves and the gulls in the background
and the fresh sea air that's washing and coming after that.
Very startling. Yeah, no, definitely gonna be
walking out on there and I'm just like, Oh my God, I killed a
God. Like under your breath or like
in your head. Try them not.
It'll be out out loud. It would be in one of those like
when you talk to yourself over and over again, cuz you can't
believe it. OK, I think at that too.
Then even a doune would recognize the the the pacing as
a as a sign of anxiety and the fact that you're just muttering
to yourself. She would chime in softly into
your head. Are you all right there, Zenora?
No. Show up on a ship you get a lot
of people that come just up here some of them tall and go into
portal from Yeah and the club giant coin kill got no not OK Oh
well that's I'm. I'm.
I'm sorry to hear. Is there anything that I could
provide you with maybe that would be soothing to you or
perhaps you would like to come in my other lower decks and
maybe explore some of the other areas inside.
I've got some interesting. I don't know if you've ever seen
an engine like mine, and that sounds a little suggestive, but
I am a ship however, so I don't think we could get it on like
that. Thank you.
I think I just need a moment. I'm going to like go up to the
side of the ship, like over here, and just like lean over
the side and just like soak in the peaceful environment that is
currently around me for some sense of sanity.
And that was Tommy. The hermit crab like walks over
to her. That's about to say something of
the nature is what actually would probably happen is a dune
would trail off in your head like with that.
Well, OK. And when you're leaning over the
rail, you see like a plank that's on the side of the vessel
that you're standing on kind of morph to let.
So that there's a a crab that was underwater that you're
seeing, but it it seems to shift above water.
And then it starts, it's a hermit crab, you realize as it
comes above the waves and starts crawling up the side of the deck
or the side of the the ship towards the deck looking as if
it's doing a little dance for you.
It's. Doing a dance?
Yeah, you know how hermit crabs move.
It's kind of silly. It's got this little waddle to
him and then they every now and again they'll stop and start
trying to grab things. Is he, like, coming up onto the
deck, or is he just, like, screwing around?
Slowly but surely? It looks like he's making his
way there. And then OK, probably would if
you let if you stand there long enough, come up to you and
scuttle around your feet. Yeah, I would let that happen.
I feel like that's the most normal thing to happen here and
you're gonna be like that for 8 hours or?
Pretty much, probably, yeah. I yeah.
Zonora's not at a point where she's comfortable to ask
questions. She kind of just got thrown into
this and is very much kind of dealing with the fact that this
is her situation now. She'll want to learn eventually,
just not yet. I think you would find the the
rest of the evening to go soothingly, although it's hard
to tell if there is any actual day time in the place.
Only the only thing that's telling you otherwise is the
soreness in your legs from standing for longer.
But the sun is ever present, but not blisteringly hot.
Just a nice cool Every now and again there's a shade of a of a
cloud, and always there's that calming sea breeze and waves.
But yeah, that. That's how your time would pass
along with the hermit crab. That's kind of like scuttling
around your feet every now and again, nipping maybe at the
bottom of your pant leg. Like, not, not, not actually
like, hurting it or anything. Just like as almost as if it's
trying to get your attention. I would absolutely like Crouch
down to like poke at it occasionally when it wants
attention and it doesn't really purr or anything, but it does
seem to like, enjoy the attention.
It like stops moving and lets you pet it every now and again.
But yeah, I guess if that's what you're doing, that's what you're
doing. And then we'll go to Jeffrey the
Magnificent. I don't know if you have handy
there. Rahl, the handout for Socrates
in Alalopoulis, The map of Socrates.
See. It's probably gonna be the
quickest way rather than going to each district and everything.
And well, so another another option.
We could Recon this if we want to and have all three siblings
go that way. Each of us could play somebody
and like a like a Pikachu goes to the City adventure.
Yeah. And if that's the case, then I
would, I would suggest that we go the full Annie and we
switched over to the different maps as we do it because we got,
I've, I've got the factory district, which is where, you
know where you know where Ferris is.
And then we've got the, the market district, which is
probably where you'll find some pretty cheap nudes, you figure.
But the and those are the main 2 objectives.
I don't know if you'd want to wander around anywhere else on
the map that you see there, but. Let's see, I'm pulling up the Is
it the Socrates One or Capital City?
Yep, Sork or tease. That's full of orcs, Yeah, Orc.
Orc orc pork pork. OK alright so capitalize Orc the
whole time too. I was naming the city but I was
like Nope, it needs it just orc in the center of this word.
So I guess for you guys, if we're gonna do all three of them
for a little background, my character Rarl is the night
variant background, which gives you 3 like NPC attendants who
are just, you know, regular Joe nonadventure Npcs that I chose
to be his his three siblings. He is the eldest, is the leader
and protector and then the three of them basically, you know,
support him and then he supports them type of deal.
So outside of RAWL there is Jeffrey the Magnificent who does
not talk and there who is basically a mime, which is I
found funny with the whole meme thing.
And then? Yarl and Grawl who are generic
and don't really have personalities yet, so you get to
give them personalities ooh and pick which one you want to be.
I'll be yarl. Yes, that makes me grawl.
Grawl. All I've really come up with
about them so far is that they're super curious because
cats, and they have no they have no concept of personal
boundaries. Are they orange cats?
Yes, very much. They personality wise so far.
Are we orange cats? That means I get to be no brain
cells. That sounds like fun.
Sure, we could be that you guys headed first then?
So assuming we have a little pouch of money or something like
that, what is the first shiniest thing that we see as we or I
like Jeffrey sees as he walks out the door and that's distance
of the city. In the distance, I was going to
say you'd find some pretty shiny stones right soon as you walk
out on the on the ground. But they're paving stones, so
you're wondering how he would even try to take them up or
anything. But they're they're very shiny.
They're like red and shiny for the red district that you're in.
Think Jeffrey will kind of like tap his nose at the others and
then see if he can dig out like a crowbar or something from.
His backpack. Since I assume they're utility
Npcs, I should probably look and see what the night variant thing
does. Night variant and then kind of
gesture to the others and like point out up the city and then
point at them and shrug my shoulders and then do a little
like dance to make a. Make a It seem like I'm
impersonating a a girly photo, which they would more than
likely understand at this point, having spent their whole lives
with you of. Let's go find a new dephoto.
Yep. Yarl's gonna gonna nod very
enthusiastically and start looking around.
Like in the immediate area, like they like you're all expects.
A photo should just be like on the ground.
I will absolutely be joining in on that, except in the opposite
direction, so. He gets excited.
And I get. Inherently, yeah.
I feel like your own girl would inherently understand.
They need to like, like they understand the mission.
They need to like spread out like split up.
Everyone gets a different AOR. I started marching the exact way
that we just came into the club. I mean, that would be a good
spot to find him. Maybe she signed one on the on
like the the wall behind the bar.
Ohh. So it looks like each person
gets a once. Wait.
Everybody gets the a sorry proficiency with one set of like
artisans, like a like a like a kit, like masonry, or like
crafting, or like blacksmithing or.
Okay, I feel like you get to bestow those upon.
Us. Yeah, you should bestow who gets
what. Okay then let's see, I think.
Where do we find toolkits? DD5E.
All right, let's see. I think that Yarl is going to
get Tinker tools and Garl will get, let's see, either Alchemy
or. Forgery.
Let's do forgery. Nice.
So Graw will have forgery set and then Jeffrey the Magnificent
is going to have painting, painting supplies, probably how
he communicates the most. Yeah.
I could just forge us dudes. That's true with the, but we'd
have to get to. Paint them art piece, boudoir
set. Hmm.
Jeffrey, that I'm gonna magnificent is gonna tap his
nose and nod along, but then kind of think to himself and
point at you guys and like kind of sign.
But what do we know what she looks like?
Nude. Oh shit.
Is she sleeping somewhere? No, that'd be.
Awful. Yeah.
I feel like if if Jeffrey tried to paint a nude of the Queen, it
would be like a human head and then just like a cat body.
Six sets of tips. Three sets of tips.
Yeah. That's what humans look like,
right? Or orcs?
Is there a strip club nearby that would have an org?
Jeffrey nods. Probably
a photo of at least the Queen's head and maybe like general body
shape. And then we need to go to the
strip club, is what I'm hearing. Yeah, portion, I think that's
the best option. Yeah, I think that's the best
option. Yeah.
We're gonna spend all of the money we need to draw you for
the next hour. Well, that's gonna be a lot of
money. It's a lot of dances.
We just book a private room. You guys have control of the
characters that I. Ohh.
Wait, Jeffrey Jeffrey's gonna stop mid mid stride, turn around
and then sign to you guys? What about the illusion realm?
It's still there, right? Think so.
You guys look back at the door that's closed and it seems to be
locked even. And I forget which one's which
now already, but which, whichever one of you went back
towards the the pink. Pinky lies.
Yeah, I I just don't remember which was the name of the brawl.
Brawl, there we go. Grawl.
When Grawl went back to check the the door, it was locked.
Or surprisingly, and Jeffrey being probably the most level
headed, the one that's got the brain cell today.
Probably remembers that there was a code of some sort with the
pigs. He walks up to the pig, tries to
remember, wasn't it that we hit the pig?
Didn't we hit the pig? I'm gonna up and tickle one of
the pigs under the chin. This the statue doesn't respond.
You could roll me a history if you wanted there, Jeffrey, but
and a performance, which I'm guessing is a just a D20 plus
raw rolls specific abilities is how we've been rolling it and
RAW. Sure.
When it comes to performance. Yeah, so performance I have a +
6. Yeah, ohh nice.
And a history. I have A + 1, so I'll roll my
history two. Let's go.
Question. No idea.
Yeah, pretty much. You're just like you kind of
remember them slapping the pigs around a bit.
But do you? Roll that performance yarl.
So I'll roll A20. What is the?
+6 1717 You're stroking under the chin of the pig, and it
seems to flash. As it almost as if it were a
real pig for a second. Not not in your vision per se,
but more so in your hand because the stone.
So it's a sort of flakes away under your hand and you hear,
hear, hear. It just kind of squeak and the
door cracks open. When I walk up and gently press
on the door, see if it opens more.
It it does open. All the lights are out inside
though, and it looks like when you open the door, everybody's
definitely gone home, including all of the bartenders and such.
And there's like 1 janitor workout on the floor, like
sweeping up some of the trash they've been left behind the
night before. Like put only half of myself
into the door. Like I'm going to keep as much
of myself outside the door as I can because I'm not sure of the
situation. Hello.
Hello Mr. Kind Sir. Mr. Kind Sir, there is a room in
this establishment that does illusions my my compatriots and
I would like to to utilize one of these illusions.
Would that be possible? I think that's above my pay
grade. It just keeps sweeping, so that
means yes. Yep, pack through the door.
Yeah, I'm gonna turn around and, Relay said.
They didn't say no. That means yes, that means yes.
Alright, so I'm gonna open the door and hold it.
Hold it open for the other two are all since to go through.
And we're going back into the club.
Immediately turn around, realize we have exactly what we need.
Well, we think we do. We haven't ever seen the We're
going to forge the best nudes that you've ever seen.
We. Could go out and try to help
with. DNA too.
Yeah, we do need to find the other guy.
What was his name to tell us how to get her out of the bottle?
Uhhuh. Didn't so.
That's the reason we. Go out my mind and yeah ohh.
So that's definitely not that guy's name.
Power flickered out of nowhere. Looks like Josh has lost
connection for a second. Oh no.
Oh. Booting back up, do we have what
are the other goals that we have?
We could try to go to the library to learn more about red
Dragons. Has three chaos cats go to the
Public Library. I would go to the Public Library
to go play with the books. I don't know about learning.
They just came in and just started knocking all the books
down. Every book on the table off the.
Table. Yeah, no.
Items can be on shelves. Every flat surface needs to be
clear exactly. This is considered adventuring
gear. I'm.
Trying to figure out what's in the Tinkerers tool set, and so
I'm now on like equipment. I'm on D&D Beyond and apparently
an Abacus counts as equipment. It's adventuring gear.
Ohh, I can do math, yeah. Hello.
Hello.
Hey, I think I got back on. Sorry about that.
All good. Lost power there for a second.
I don't know if you seen the chat, but it was just like
randomly too. Gotta love that shit.
Happens. Yeah, we decided we're gonna go
knock all the books off of shelves in a library.
Trying to find stuff about red dragon.
Ohh OK but instead? Books.
Well after after we forge this. Uh, yeah.
No, no, we're forging the nudes. Yeah, I was gonna, I was gonna
say, 'cause uh, yeah, it's a not likely that there's books inside
of this dance club. If there are any, they're gonna
go off the shelf. I mean, what's on the tables,
yeah, are are the services holding things?
Because they shouldn't. Be every service we wish.
We walk by, we just knock everything off.
It's like walking with your arms out and just like going down a
line of stuff. Not currently.
It does look like they've. No.
Did we lose them again? I think we lost them again if
they have any alcohol, if they have any alcohol bottles on
display, I'm 100% knocking those over.
I hope he's, I hope we're ready to pay that fee.
Definitely not. Somebody has.
This is what happens when you give me the power of a chaotic
cat. Yep, he's typing.
Like, every time Jeffrey and his siblings get sent out to do a
basic task, it's it's the entire, it's the the it's a
whole subadventure of them just getting into ridiculous shit.
Yep. And they come back and nobody
knows anything about it because they still like, achieve the
objective in a way that's satisfactory.
I think our objective will be achieved with these forged nudes
and also knocking everything off at the same time.
So like perfectly. OK, know about that.
Yeah. Yeah, we don't need to.
We're they're just gonna come back to like 1000 gold tab and
not know why no words will be spoken.
I mean, everybody was drinking last night.
Let me tell you exactly who. Who can say where this tab,
where this, this, this tab came from, if it even gets correctly
attributed to us. You know, yeah, no one's here.
No one's here. Watch me knock all the alcohol
off of the shelves. We can't prove it.
Pixar. It didn't.
Or it's Pixar. It's not real Pixar.
It didn't happen, yeah, and I'm not forging myself knocking over
the bottles. Nope, as long as Jeffrey doesn't
paint it. It's true.
They're little cameras. He'll paint like a little scene
of the of the bar and just pick it in front of the camera.
Background of the nudes is like just growl knocking over the
alcohol. Bottle.
Yeah, I think there should definitely be cats in the
background of the Queen's nude picture.
I don't know what they're doing, but there's they should
definitely be in the background, and if anyone asks any
questions, we point to Jeffrey and they'll just know they're
never gonna get answers. Yeah, Jeffrey will.
We'll just say Jeffrey knows. Jeffrey explains everything and
we'll walk away. It'll be great.
And he'll just, like, put his hand on his shoulder and just,
like, look deeply into their eyes, telepathically communicate
everything. But they never actually received
the message. Yeah, slap him lightly on the
cheek and walk away. Yeah.
I think with these descriptions I think you guys have already
drawn it by this point. You didn't even.
I'm knocking every alcohol bottle off of the shelf.
Every. Single one.
What was the best response ever? Just it's it's a bar.
So they obviously have them on display and I'm gonna see that
and say that can't be. This is how you get arrested.
The the the orc that is the the one cleaning for the evening
with his room just looks over at you doing such and he goes.
They don't pay me enough for this shit and just keeps on
sweeping. Perfect.
I got away with it. We speak no words of this.
If they ask, we say ask Jeffrey. Your Earl knows that the room is
vaguely this way, so I was gonna, you know, not in a Direct
Line. Gonna obviously get as close the
work that's cleaning. Gonna get as close to his feet
as as humanly possible, walk right in front of them and and
step out of the way quickly before any real damage happens.
At least here are steps on them. Yeah, I don't know what that
what that does to the for the work.
But I continue to just like, annoy them.
You know how hazardly saunter in the direction that girl thinks
the room is in? Yeah, I am going along the line
of the bar to knock down every bottle.
Success. Jeffery's gonna stack all of
these chairs in the tower. And then precariously sit on the
top and just begin yowling. Wow, wow.
I think we, I think we lost him again and he's missing all.
This or Josh. I don't know if his recorder is
on either, because he's probably losing it.
Fun. I feel like crying.
He's just gonna get back. And every time it's just gonna
get worse. No, it really is because now
it's not just the bottles on the ground, the chairs are stacked.
I don't know if Craig works the same as like other recording
bots, but normally they keep recording every single one until
like everyone leaves and then they like DM it to the person
who started it. Gotcha.
He's still in the conversation. If you look at the voice chat,
like Craig is there, yeah, no, he's still recording, so it
should be fine. He'll just get to listen back to
all of this. We just won't tell him about
the. Yeah, just don't say anything
about these and then we'll see. If he knows he's gonna join back
in and you have to start yelling again, that's to fill the time.
I've heard of the Dink. Yeah, I did hear of the dink.
Seems like it is the. It's my computer, but I'm hoping
it's it's not fully dead yet and it's just another slowly dying
power supply but pad and scene begins again.
Jeffrey is now on top of a bunch of stacked chairs.
In the corner of the room, he's climbed up to the top,
precariously so, and now is concerned about how to get down.
Did we lose him again? No.
He keeps missing out on the best part.
I'm gonna. Kick flip off and try to land on
the ground, scattering them everywhere on the ground.
As I try to jump, jump up and I think grab on to like the
whatever the light thing is up here.
That might be a pattern on the floor, but I'm assuming this is
a club with a disco ball. Yeah, there's, yeah, actually a
giant crystal as a disco ball, so to say in the center of that
that you can. How hard did you pile these
chairs? I I mean, you took every chair
that was there. There's. 4 There's 88 chairs and
I stacked them all up and then climbed up.
While you're doing that, you just also hear the janitor like
mumbling more so like Oh my God, and you're never gonna have to
make me clean all this up when I come back and fucking rock
crystal magic. So I mean users.
And while he's while he's mumbling, so as Yarl is is
heading in the direction of the illusion room, where they think
the illusion room is gets as close as possible to this
janitor's feet, right? Just like right up, all in his
personal space, right next to his feet.
And I I don't know what the what works reaction's gonna be, but
you know if there's any adverse effects or like before any even
unintentional adverse effects, you know, just like quickly
darts out of the way and continues on.
Into the into the illusion room or.
Just like away from the work, Yeah, towards the the North End
of the room or the top of the room, whatever.
Distancing. Not quite in the room yet,
because I don't remember if the the brothers were in the
illusion room. Like, do you know, roll and
roll. Right roll.
I sent, I sent them. They were like outside, I think,
but I didn't let them. They would have seen everyone go
in. I would.
Say yeah, OK. Yeah, on the car back, like
Npc's, So I try to keep them out of combat.
What is Jeffrey hanging still? Jeffrey hanging.
They were going to ask if Jeffrey could roll me a A skill
there, and I'm blanking exactly on what I'd want, but probably
something along the lines of A. Sleight of hand as you're
stacking the chairs to get them up high enough to, you know, all
of them, you're you're being careful, more than likely on
trying how to get them to stack. Oh my gosh.
And then once he gets to the top and yells a lot, he's gonna kick
kick off and try to or jump onto the crystal because it looks
warm. Yeah, that's a lovely 24 side of
hand for Jeffrey. I'm very good at.
They're very good at what they're good at.
So yeah, you you definitely manage that, right?
All the way up to the crystal. It's basically you, you know,
with the last chair. You're just standing on it,
almost without realizing that you're standing on anything
besides. Around and able to basically hug
the crystal that's in the air. Probably a good 20 feet in the
air. Is it warm?
It isn't, but it is got a vibrating sensation to it that
you're that you that you like more of a humming.
I guess you would say less than than vibrating.
Jeffrey's gonna take out his painter's set and then he's
gonna, he's gonna paint the three of their names on the top
of the crystal so that it would be hard to see by other people.
And then he will kick, kick, flip off the tables,
specifically doing it in a way that they topple down and land
on the ground and go to the illusion room.
Definitely an acrobatics there as well as might as well roll
the yay the the skill that is associated with that artisan
craft, which I'm guessing right, some sort of dexterity, but I'm.
No, probably gonna painter supplies.
I think normally you roll a D20 and you add your proficiency
bonus. When it comes to like tools,
your yeah, proficiency. And all right, so here's that
what I'm curious. Which one?
Proficient Ohh well no, it's just a D20 and proficiency.
You don't add like a modifier, I don't think.
Ohh, so you don't. Have so you Let's see you add
proficiency to any ability checks you make using the tools
in your craft. Ohh.
Yeah, so maybe it's performance or sleight of hand.
They're the. Same man.
Yeah, that makes it easy then because I was going to say a
performance for the scenario, but doesn't matter.
Either way, I'll just do a performance ooh eight.
For the performance 17 for the acrobatics.
You It looks like your first graffiti that you've possibly
done, but you know for for being your first, not so bad.
It's legible, close up down on the floor.
After you've sufficiently backflipped and landed on your
feet, all four of them, and are staring up at it.
You're wondering whether or not anybody could actually read it
or understand what it says, at least.
But who cares? He nods to himself, walks up to
the to the janitor, and then I think Jeffrey probably has the
bag of money that he was given to like go buy these supplies.
He just pulls like a handful of whatever is in there out and
gives it to the janitor and then walks away and then his tail
hits the janitor's hand to make the coins fall out and fall on
the ground. Ohh, so a slight of hand for
that last part I guess. And they 24.
OK, yeah so you you get it. Not that seem.
Like an accident? Yeah.
However many it was that you grabbed out of there, we're
gonna say like, not 9. Gold coins, Nice clink onto the
floor. And then he scampers away up to
the illusion room. Then he goes, well I guess
that's enough to deal with it And he picks it up.
He gets down on the 1D and starts picking him up and
putting him in his pocket is a growl.
Finished knocking bottles off. Yes, I like ran down the line of
the whole bar and then just stopped right in front of the
illusion room. All right, so you guys are in
front of the illusion room, and you vaguely recall the Queen's
Guard utilizing a panel on this on the left side of the door
there? To activate it somehow, they've
drawn some stuff on it. It looked like to make something
come to live in the room. I didn't realize.
We didn't know how it worked. We didn't get that part.
So you're all's just gonna like, go into the room first, right?
So that's all that they saw that you all saw, right?
He he saw. Does everyone go into the room?
So it just goes, sees this. I don't know if what we see here
is actually in there, right? Curls up on this couch, just
like lays there for a while and looks at the door.
Waits for the other two. Jeffrey's gonna approach the
panel and turn to Ohh goodness. Which one?
Which one are you? Where the one I'm crawl is the
one outside. And kinda gesture at this panel
and then kinda like makes a little drawing motion in the air
and then pushes like just taps the panel see if it does
anything. The Black Mirror, it looks like
on the wall wakes up and instead of being a reflection of
yourself on it, there seems to be some sort of interface.
Across it with with simply the the the last thing actually
being is a faded out image of a chopped and a half low key with
a with a start session again again on top of it.
And there's a little problem. What does the what does the
words look like? Dude that it doesn't look like a
big red button. No, it's it's, it's it's the
grayed out little box on top of the the.
OK. I don't wanna push it.
And then there there, but there is a big red X in the corner of
the green. I'm pushing it.
It's red. And the.
Image of Loki goes away and the popped up message goes away and
there's just a a a blank white screen in front of you.
It looks like that that doesn't have any sort of anything on it
after you pressed it. You only pressed it once, right?
Yes, I only pressed it once. OK then, yeah, that's that's
what you're seeing right now. That the image has disappeared.
Jeffrey's gonna try to look behind the panel to see if it
went back there. Like, I'm gonna poke my head
into the room and see if he's in there.
No, you just see Yarl lounging on the couch, probably cleaning
the their palms, OK? Yeah.
Is there if we touch the screen? Yeah, I was gonna say he made
the drawing motion and I'm immediately gonna wanna like
after I push the button and the the chopped in half low key is
nowhere to be found. Just put my paw on the white
area like over on the side and then remove it.
What do you have in your mind at that instant too?
No, there's no thoughts in this head.
I actually OK, I'd imagine like drawing.
Like literally be like drawing. Nothing.
No specific person, nothing like that.
Just the motion of drawing or the idea of drawing.
Well, the PA goes on. Kind of shimmering at first, but
just on the you're seeing yarl, I think.
Jeffrey, did you, did you stay in there?
It sounded like too in the room. No, no, no.
I wasn't going behind the panel. I was looking to see if, like
you know how cats try to look behind the screen of something.
He's trying to look behind the physical panel on the exterior
wall. Which is it?
Was, which is I was the one that popped my head in and then
popped back out. But it was the this.
The screen is like right here on this wall on the left side of
the door and behind the screen. The screen is like recessed into
the wall. Ah, then, yeah, he probably
popped his head in to look. OK.
But probably came back around, but came back around probably.
Yeah, to the thin. OK, never mind then.
So just yarl then is experiencing Jeffrey the
magnificent more than likely being the object of most visible
to grawl. Very sketchy though, like the
edges of of Jarl or I mean Jeffrey are all like as if
somebody had just drawn him. Like, very sketchy.
So so Jeffrey appears so I see cuz I was wondering what happens
to people that are in the room when the illusion is is being
created. So, so I see Jeffrey appear,
except Jeffrey obviously looks like a cartoon.
Yeah, pretty much. His colors are probably even a
little more faded than usual. OK, so I'm gonna look up from
what I'm doing, you know, cleaning, whatever.
And. Just stare at it and my eyes are
gonna get real big. I'm gonna like, freeze and stare
at this thing because I recognize it, but it's not what
I know that. Does the same thing at you
staring at you like you staring at it.
My tail's yeah, my tail's gonna get all puffy.
My like fur is gonna stand on end.
I'm gonna jump up on 4 paws, you hissing.
Not quite hissing yet, but almost.
We're almost there. You just hear probably from the
outside of the room too, a a a very loud yowl.
Not like like a distressed meow, you know, Just.
Bastardize meow. Yeah.
Jeffrey's gonna pile in hearing a yowel and then also
immediately poof up. Immediately.
What? Like, poof Up.
Poof up. Yeah, OK.
What does the panel look like now?
On the panel itself is besides the paw print that was left
behind from your hand, there seems to have been some lines
drawn from that paw print off to a side to a an image of one of
the Rawls, which it's hard to tell from the drawing, but there
is one distinctive mark that Grawl is able to pick up It to
be Yarl on like his left ear or something.
I mean, Jeffrey, sorry, interesting.
Is there a red X? There isn't currently right now.
I would have been excited about the red X, although now there's
a paw print and that's kind of weird because that looked like
my paw. I want to put my paw on it
again. And the lines kind of flow back
into the palm. And the second Jeffrey in the
room just fades away. Oh, Yarl's just real freaked out
because they were staring at the at the cartoon Jeffrey.
I watched the other Jeffrey enter the room and then got even
more confused than they were before and like just kind of
like looked back and forth but more intense on the cartoon
Jeffrey, because that is the strange.
An unknown entity. But then it it faded away,
right? And so like immediately some of
the the standoff is gonna go down but still very confused and
so the Yarl's gonna jump over onto the table but the other one
was on and just like sniff around.
I don't know if I find so when I remove my paw this time, what's
there? Did you have anything in mind
this time at all? No.
I'd probably say. If anything, it's literally just
like paw, print and then, you know, putting.
It down I was just like an error message on the screen.
Is it red? It's.
It's very much got a. Like a red triangle of sorts.
That's like it's that's that's saying basically something along
the lines of like please, input, desires and preferably a sketch.
Ohh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be like out here calling
to the other two. So I'm not seeing anything.
Finding anything on this table, I'm just gonna, like, chalk it
up to weird and come back out. Yeah, I'm gonna.
You wouldn't. Even you wouldn't even get a
scent when you were sniffing around of another cat.
Yeah, I just pointed to the mess aliens let.
Me read the message. Ohh you're.
I was gonna put their paw up and think of a large saucer of warm
milk. Inside the room a outflows from
the pop paw print a a sketch on the screen that materializes
into a very solid form in the room of warm saucer melt with a
bit of steam coming off of it. Oh.
Yeah, you're always gonna look over and run up to it.
So when when your own or acts with the milk, is it like it's
real? Is it like, can they actually
drink the milk? Yeah, feels like they're
drinking the milk. Does it satisfy their hunger?
It doesn't quite seem to do that.
Lame. I'm gonna.
I'm gonna splash my paw and it annoyed.
It takes you a while to figure this out, though, because a lot,
There's a lot of lapping that has to happen, yeah.
Because it tastes good, right? But yeah, does it taste good?
Can we taste it? Yeah.
Yeah, tastes like a nice warm yax milk.
Nice. It's just not satisfying.
It's not satisfying. I'm bored.
Back filling out. Yeah, OK.
Is there a red X? This time it does seem like that
there's a red X that I push it immediately.
We've defeated the bowl of milk. I'm gonna turn to Jeffrey and
I'm gonna be like, what were we here for?
Jeffrey makes the girly or girly figure.
Or the girly, the girly photo figure.
And then he's gonna step up and. Gramby look like who spent the
most time with the Queen. Who knows what the Queen looks
like? I think we would have all seen
her, right? Ohh yeah, what if all three?
Put our impressions of the Queen in at the same time.
That'll give us the most accurate.
Picture I like that. I think that's genius.
We should do it. Yeah, Group check.
Yeah. Jeffrey.
Come closer, Jeffrey.
We all can hold hands and do it. Yes, well, we can't all hold
hands. I'll hold Gravel's tail.
I love that. Or yeah, actually Jeffrey,
Jeffrey and Y'all might have to hold onto growl's tail.
And then, because we all have to have one free hand.
We can just make sure our like side, uh, I guess our pinky on
our paw, I guess technically are all like touching each other.
We put them up. Yeah, yeah, OK, so we should put
a paw up and all of our paws should be touching side by side.
Then we can put all three paws on at the same time.
Yep. Yeah.
Remember the Queen? The Queen naked.
Queen.
Naked Queen. I think I'm gonna need a count
of three. Should we do this on the crown
of three? Oh, we need a history check.
Yeah, but on the count of three, it sounds.
Yeah, one. 2/3. Yeah, other than Yarl, it looks
like that all turned out pretty good.
Yarl gets distracted by a fly or probably.
Probably like a moth or something, as it's going down to
to touch the screen and swats at it instead.
But the other two seem to have been able to place their paws on
it and recollect the Queen pretty vividly, especially from
the time that she showed up in the VIP room with her tits out
and ass out. As part of her dress.
That was just how she was dressing that evening for the
party and. As one does.
And go. To parties like that.
What kind of life are you living?
Quiet one, unfortunately. And in the room you just hear a
large. Bilch.
Oh yeah. Poke our heads in.
Yep, poke the head in. And you're seeing a very
inebriated and intoxicated Queen Theatre, completely nude with
their hair done up, like posing like one of your French women.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna very violently tap on Jeffrey.
Like write that down, write that down type of thing for like, the
painting. Yeah, you're all like, my work
here is done. It's just gonna saunter into the
room and curl up on this couch again and not sleep, but like
watch, watch very intently everything that's happening.
You mean like one of the chairs? Or like right next to queen
Theta, right next to queen Theta.
Ohh OK. And she's like, she's shouting,
starts petting the cat. Oh, he's such a nice Kitty.
Would you like some some MSG? I'm, I'm good.
Thank you. Thank you, McQueen.
She goes, well, that's too bad. And she, like pull, pulls one of
the her strands of hair behind her ear.
And you see her. Take like a little capsule from
there and pop it in her mouth and you see her eyes go wide or
her being. Jeffrey and Grawl are working
hard to forge these nudes. That and I was gonna turn to
grawl and then kind of mime out or like sign out.
Should we write a a love letter or letter of desire from the
Queen to the dragon? I mean, we could just.
That's smart, yeah. We could just have the Queen
come up with. We can just ask the Queen to say
what she would say. Wait, I'm gonna go up to the
Queen and hand her. I would assume this forgery kit
comes with paper and have her write her name on it.
For like. You asked her to, you asked her
to sign her name and she goes what?
What is this for? What deary you are?
Man. Oh, sorry.
It's these. This is MSG.
It got me all good and going good.
I was just falling asleep, but now I'm awake.
And you know what? What is this for?
I'm gonna turn to Jeffrey with a very exasperated look.
I'm gonna look up to her and I'm gonna say it's for the good of
the Kingdom. You have a secret admirer who
would love to know more. Which is telling her the truth,
all right. What's Jeffrey's?
Gonna. What's your proof?
I'm assuming this is gonna be flattering to the Queen, right?
That's my hope here. Probably, yeah.
I don't. I don't know if what we're doing
is actually for the good of the Kingdom, but I'm assuming she's
invested in the good of the Kingdom and that should be
flattered to have a sacred admirer.
Let's go with persuasion, actually.
Then what's your persuasion 6? So yeah, oh shit.
Talking about 3:00, that's not good.
Mine, so you're. She goes, Well, let's do this
first. Let's just just.
Or. She's going to be rolling with
disadvantage. Ohh yeah, she's on drugs.
The drugs. Drugs. 9.
Yeah, so she just goes whatever and just where's the quill?
Ohh, I'll hunt her. The quill.
Yeah, drugs. She just signs quickly.
It kind of looks a little shaky, but probably is probably.
I can use that. Believable.
Yeah, I can use that. And I'm assume that would I be
able to like mimic A handwriting with that if I'm proficient in a
forgery kit? Like make a little message in a
similar fashion of her handwriting?
I think that's what the forgery kit does, isn't it?
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think there's a
a role will get associated with that whenever it gets presented.
I think that'll be the easiest thing to do because I won't
remember what the hell you rolled for tonight, but.
Yeah, we can do that. We'll just still I will make
like a little message that's like.
Oh, what should it say? My dearest Dragon Boy, if you
give these people of all of your money, I will give you the
biggest blowjob. I don't right?
No, I don't think she wants the money.
I think she wants the other things.
But the breath, Yeah, if you blow me your breath, I'll blow
you that. I was asking.
Something like that. We like like strange blowing
trail. Wink blow for something like
that. Oh shit.
If you give me your breath, I'll let you take my breath away.
Something like that. That was a good one.
Might, might might want to write that one down because I'm not
remembered. Typed it up.
Yeah, it's presuming that it's. Got it.
Fuck. Exactly like Mimi's got you, you
give. Me.
Your breath. I'll let you take something, OK?
OK. Love Queenie.
But you don't. Would it be a sleight of hand
again for you on that? New thinking there Jeffrey.
Or are we gonna need to create some side skills for your?
Let me look. I don't know if that's how it
normally works. Is like it's just a flat like
skill check of a D20 and you add your proficiency normally when
it comes to using tits. Yeah.
Well I was I was mentioning because in the future this is
this is where things like this become advantageous for the rest
of the game play. Because what you can do in the
future specifically is if you create a special skill for each
one of them and you're like not not necessarily for each cat,
but you know you just put it under your skill set of of that
they're proficient with. And that way you have a specific
role for forgery paintings and you can just click on that.
Yep. So what I'm reading online is
essentially it's a it's like a a DEX check plus your proficiency
because of that. But it's that that essentially
is a skill and then like the definition of a skill in in
here. Right.
Which so I mean, it's a it's Sealer's choice how you wanna.
Yeah, how you wanna keep track of it.
But it was just my suggestion if you wanted to make it an actual
skill. Because we letting that that be
a thing, because it makes it really easy to keep track of
things in my opinion when you create those specialty skills
that you can just. Yeah, well so in either case
it's gonna be a + 6 because it's decks plus proficiency, which is
the same as the rest of my persuasion or my charisma stuff,
so. I'll just roll a sleight of hand
because that's gonna give me the modifier and then if I end up
using this more I'll like again I'll make a I'll make a skill
out of it out of after today can look at yeah that for crafting.
Yep, Yep. And part way through I will kind
of like flip the painting to show the queen if she's if she
gets curious, just to like so she's aware of what's happening.
Listen, Vibe. Check the Queen here.
She's on drugs. There's no need to vibe.
Check. That's with advantage, right?
Good vibes. Yeah, so he's like she she sees
what you're doing there and goes, That's quite flattering.
Although my left nipples, a little laugh.
Could you get that right? And the next.
One, he nods solemnly. Also like is it yarl that's
that's sleeping with her? Yes.
Yeah. Yarl's there, like you know,
curled up, saw an opportunity to get pet and is now realizing you
know advantageously. This is keeping the queen
occupied, right? That the.
Children and also is going to get our cat cameo in the photo.
That's what I was. Gonna say she's.
Cat is is definitely in the photo or Yarl is definitely in
the photo kinda. And the Queen's lap.
Like seductively half hiding her, her, her bits, you know?
Gotcha. Hiding the pussy with the pussy.
Ohh, tasteful nudes. Lovely, tasteful, perfect.
To the cat in the lap. Also, the best way to keep
someone still is to put a cat on the lap.
You can't move. So I'll roll for that 19, OK.
I would say you got it 99.9% correct.
You're worried about how the hair looks yourself as Jeffrey
being a perfectionist, but but you turn it around for the queen
this time he goes, yes, that is exactly right.
I'm just gonna take a nap here. He nods.
Jeffrey touches his note. Well, no, Jeffrey wouldn't be
that kind of person. We could get some easy
experience here, but I think we've got the letter and the
nude. Now we have what we need.
I think we do, right. We have the nude and we have the
letter forged. Yeah, yeah.
All right. We let the queen sleep now.
Let us. Let us move on to the next task.
All right, next task looking around, Jeffrey's gonna turn to
the others and then point at the letter and then point
specifically at the forge signature at the bottom of the
queen and then sign. Do you think maybe we could use
this to get a out? As a surprise for everyone, What
do you mean? Like go go find someone who can
who can get her out and then use the Queen's forge signature to
make like an order for the person to like remove her.
Ohh, that's very smart. I like this, yes.
So yeah, I'm assuming that Dune has provided the Ralstons with
like, Endless Tuna the whole time we've been on board.
And so that the Ralstons are very invested in Dune's
happiness. Yeah.
I mean, that's their den, yeah. Because the agreement the group.
The agreement the group made, if I'm right, was that.
We were going to get a donae to become a flying ship after we do
this deal. Not that, Yes, she was going to
get released. No.
Yeah. So I don't know.
We had. To find a way to get her
released first, right? And there was the the guy that
gave us the way to make the calling cards that came to the
queen came to the castle with us to get the queen in the first
place. Yeah, we need to go find him.
I forget what his name is. That is a good question.
I all said do not know his name. Alright, as I said during the
recap, but I can you did say recap and I still don't remember
what. We've been knocking over a lot
of things as cats, we don't remember names.
It's. Fair.
We could. I'll write it down.
It's. Also, is there a handout?
Also, no, there is not, there is not a handout for all the Npps.
I wish. I I wish I had the time.
I was going to say you could give me a history check just to
to say say that because of the fact too that they probably
wouldn't have been paying that much attention as Ralston would
being that he was the leader and they're just kind of like
tagging along. Yeah, is myself.
So part of it is more more trying to remember where like
where in the city they were. Yeah.
So I think I'm gonna roll. I think we gonna all roll
history check or no. Yeah, you could all roll.
So I have a + 1 to history, but we're screwed.
Yep, I. Got a little, I don't know shit,
bro. I got a four.
I got a 111. Maybe we'll find clues once
we're outside. Maybe the street.
Well, the street will lead us. Growl specifically remembers the
fact. No yarl, it's yarl.
Yeah, Yarl does no shit. Growl has a four do anything.
Yarl knows that it was for sure in the factory district that
Ferris normally live and works and everything like that.
That's where they met him, but also knows that they've gotten
there by carriage and they don't have.
Timothy Pard, their driver, who they reserved for the night, but
also the the night and the day. But the night and the day are
over now too, so not sure if that card would even work.
But also remembers there's a card somewhere.
Don't know, doesn't know who has it for Ferris.
Sir Ferris, tell us is his name but.
Probably don't remember that particular detail.
Well, shit with. Those roles.
Well, we're writing it down anyway for the players to know.
Well, let's forge the most of the letters.
Yeah, let's forge the the note that we're gonna need to get a
dounay. All right.
Released. Or to convince somebody to help
us release a douna. How we do with that?
Oh, you spelt it wrong, Bruce. OK, you said so.
It's a + 6, you said for our nobility laws right now.
OK, let's hope the dice are nice.
The dice are nice. That would be 19.
So it's it's very close to the Queen's writing that you you'd
picked up from the illusion. The shakiness is out of the
hand. Obviously you're wondering
whether or not you need to do some MSG to get that shakiness
in there or or what? MSG Jeffrey turns to the others
and signs. Should we climb to a tall climb
a tall tree to see if we can see where we went?
Ohh. A tall tree.
Assuming a tall tree in the city means a building.
Garel's gonna suggest that we just jump on every carriage we
see. It's like jump on the back or
like underneath somewhere and just ride it and see if it takes
us to Ferris. We should go see if there's
carriages first though. Going through, Yeah, maybe
that's the first. We saw this person though,
didn't we? Yes.
Jeffrey's gonna walk up to this janitor, tap him on the shoulder
and kinda half pull him to the illusion door.
We do it. And then put his hand on the on
the panel thing and think of the guy and then show him in the
room. The guy, the guy and the
carriage. The guy and the Ohh wait, they
would be like associated together in our minds.
That's true. So it'd be like.
I dropped us off. Well, I think I'm thinking of
Ferris. Ferris, because that's the guy
we're after and he was here, wasn't he?
No, I don't think he came inside.
I think he was because he drove the carriage, right?
Ferris, you just, like, jumped us off?
No. No, Ferris is the is the
artificial that we brought along.
To the Queen. To the Queen, yeah.
It wasn't his carriage. Make the carriage.
Just a taxi, Yeah, Timothy was the taxi driver.
That's right. OK.
So not the carriage, just first come into the pink pic.
He made a deal with the Queen to manufacture all the.
Oh. All the all the stuff.
Wait, is the Queen still in there?
In the in the pink plush pig. In the illusion room.
She's is sleeping for sure and there is a red X on the screen.
Instead of doing what I said I was.
Going to do. I'll step in and try to question
the like, rouse the queen and then sign to her that we're
looking for Ferris, but I assume the button get pushed for first.
Whoopsie, sorry. Yeah, as soon as you sit down in
the plush chair inside the room, the Queen's head bobs up and she
just starts to fizzle out of existence.
He like leaps forward and tries to catch her.
Not only grabs air. So confused.
Well, I saw Red XI had to press it.
Mark. And so now I'll I'll put my hand
on the thing and think of this because we we all met this
Ferris guy and I will vividly think in my mind of that person.
OK, And you place your paw on there, and inside the room you
you're a. Hello, excuse me.
Excitedly, Jeffrey turned around and looks at the others and
signs now ask him where he lives.
Where do you live? I I don't think I would tell
strangers that I'm sorry I haven't caught your name yet.
He's gonna and I'll walk close at the end of the ogre again.
I'm just gonna like, circle around his legs.
Jeffrey will sign to this guy, but I don't know if he'll
understand. But I assume he's seen this
before. And yeah, he's actually gonna
he's gonna grab the letter first if he can.
And show it to him. Right.
Like this illusion of him can't fix the dounay, so we have to go
find him. But if we can figure out where
he lives, we can go find him. Right now, if there are some
fear, yeah, yes, That drew shit. Sorry, I don't know how I
missed. It Are you good?
But he can't, like, help us now. I'm just trying to get him to
tell us where he lives so we can go to him.
Yeah, where can we find you? I'm sorry, but I I don't think I
could tell strangers where I live.
I'm Sir Ferris. Tell us, who might you be?
I. Remember, right, that time and
'cause the the Rawlsons stand up, right?
Right. Yes.
So, so yeah, I was gonna walk up and put the his two front paws
on cuz Telus is sitting right. Yeah, yeah, he'd probably,
actually, he'd probably be standing at this moment, just in
front of the couch, kind of alarmed at being where he's at
and not knowing all all of that. You know not.
You're all you're all's gonna walk up to him with and and put
on his best. Like puss in boots, like cat
eyes with the ears down. Just like the sad You're the
Puss in Boots. Yes, yeah.
And it's just going to like this is urgent.
Sir, we need to find you. You're in grave danger.
If we don't find you, bad things will happen.
I'm right here though very confused.
Your your wife and children, they're in grave danger.
If we don't find you soon, things will happen.
This is a dream. You're sleeping.
I honestly, this is an omen. I'm and he's gonna try and like
walk past you out of the room as if he's just trying to leave the
room and this situation as cordially as he can and he's
just saying yes. Sorry I I don't have those any
as he gets to the threshold, presuming none of you stop him.
I'm guessing right. No.
He just out of existence and the room resets.
Seems like the crystal glows a. A clear Well that worked.
But I turned the paper around and I point out his name that I
wrote down. Now we have a name after.
He introduced himself to you guys.
You know that. We did get a name.
This is true. Hell yeah, more than you had.
Before. So now we just have to go find
the carriage like we like we saw that we wrote in before and then
show the carriage this name. Also, we need a doune you.
Guys. Or do we need to?
Find What's This Face? A doune is probably in your.
Possession or in that room that you guys were all going in
portaling into actually probably would be in your possession just
for safekeeping. You guys probably wouldn't have
left it in the ring for those reasons alone.
I don't know if we would have, right?
Because like, the party went to sleep and they sent us on these
missions, right? Right.
I would think it would still be up there, just like locked in
the room. Yeah, I don't think I don't
like. I don't think we would smart
enough to take things with us. That's true.
We should just go, yeah, No. Not think about it.
That would not have been more concerned.
Very excited about the name. Jeffrey's gonna jump to his feet
and point at the door and jump up and down.
Let's go guys. We've got a We've got a plan.
You're all's gonna find that energy contagious and follow
along. I will then also do the same
exact motion. We Sprint through here.
If there's anything that has been cleaned up, I'm gonna knock
it down again. The the Janitor?
Definitely. Is really changed?
At you're walking, I will be the one that runs a circle around
the janitor and then leave. Yeah.
I'm good you. Guys walk outside of the pink
plush pig onto the street. Yep.
Try to find or spot a one of the fancy carriages.
Yes, a carriage. We need a carriage.
Carriage I'm. Gonna say this really, really
loudly, over and over again. We need a carriage.
Carriage.
As you're gonna Crouch down behind something and begin
hunting for a carriage. We need a carriage, carriage,
carriage, carriage. We need a courage.
Carriages. Carriages, carriage.
Or just the carrying on there you hear and you kind of all
your ears perk up to to a what looks like a mechanized horse
off in the down the street, coming your way with a solid
whirring, humming buzzing sound coming towards you.
My eyes dilate. I prepared to pounce.
You're always gonna freak out, right?
Because this is like a real weird set.
I'm gonna jump on top of one of the pig statues out of fear and
be poised and ready to attack. You're always just gonna back
up, so I'm assuming this is some sort of wall gonna back up until
there's like a wall at their back.
Yeah, there's like a Hut of a wall there.
So they they keep. They keep on.
Motoring through, no one seems to stop them.
Wait, do we remember the other one being like a mechanized
horse? Ohh yeah, I forgot.
Would this have sparked our memory as the one we're looking
for? No, this is very new new and the
the not the other one, not at all, but it does kind of skid to
a stop. With a bit of a screeching sound
and the head comes out from a window that opens up and goes.
Did someone ask for a carriage? I'm gonna turn the RARL and I'm
gonna yell carriage, you're open.
So that's. Not a carriage.
Usually you stand in the street for the carriage as you call
it's. It's very lucky that I even
heard you over the roar of the engines.
Jeffrey's gonna pounce out of hiding and run up to the side
and like jump onto the side and like right up next to the guy
and hold the hold the piece of paper to him with the guy's name
on. He goes.
Okay you would? Like at it?
That that's a person's name, Sir Ferris, You know, person name.
Yeah, he's kind of famous, especially in the fabricators
world, which I'm from. You can call me.
Jethro. Jethro and I smelled the
mechanical horse. Can you take us to him?
I probably could. Do you have an appointment?
Yes, you all since going to just you all just going to roll it
over. Yes, it's urgent.
We're late. Oh well, why didn't you say so?
Hop in, I'll hop in. Jeffrey's gonna write the.
Hesitant. You're always gonna be real
hesitant. This thing sounds real weird.
I'm gonna hiss once or twice and then eventually is the inside
flush and soft or no? The inside is very flush and
soft, exciting. He's actually oddly facing you
guys instead of facing the road. Ohh on the.
In car. And there's like, there's like
three sets of benches, but he's sitting on the back set and it
doesn't seem to be anybody sitting in the front set.
And he's like, you're just in for a treat.
I've been testing my my selforienting horse.
I'm just gonna tilt my head to the side.
Like, what the hell did this guy just say?
Are you ready? So everybody settled in.
It used my claws to dig in to whatever I'm sitting on.
So that I am, it's probably one of us that's how.
Climb up onto the roof. Well, that was my head.
Back down and then signed to you guys.
It's better up here. Probably not unnecessary.
I hope he he's got some straps that he's using up there because
I was about to take off. We're going to be there in about
to. He looks at some sort of ticking
thing on his wrist and then he goes, oh, just about 3 minutes,
about to 116th of the time and let's go.
He saw he just like sticks his hand out the window and taps on
the side of the car. And you see from outside of the
car, Jeffrey, that the mechanical horse rears up and
just pivots on its back legs and swings the whole carriage around
behind it like it's. Weighs less than air, so
everybody inside of it is shifted around, except it seems
like Jethro who's been strapped in nine ways to Sunday into this
thing he's got. He's got harnesses at the top
and the bottom and probably even holding his legs in swung off to
the other side of the carriage and it just down to the down,
down to the edge of the. Red ring district and then over
the bridge into the in the wall of the city into the factory
district which is much crungier than where you were but little
bit different than what you remember as the transport was a
little bit slower before but. Definitely slower.
Uh, this whole time Jeffrey's on top, claws fully sunk into the
the roof of this thing. Just a cat in a car.
Like a cat siren. Yeah.
And Jeffrey actually says this is kind of nice, people are
getting out of our way with that sound.
Maybe I should get one of those installed, gets a Jeffrey
installed. For all intents and purposes,
this carriage here is the one that you guys were on.
I didn't didn't actually copy that one over.
I realized before I get over to this map and I don't feel like
going back over there, but you the the carriage slides to a
stop with it goes up on one wheel before it slams down.
And he goes, well, you've made it back back here.
Do you know where his offices are?
No. Do you point us in the
direction? Any information is helpful.
He's he usually works just through that courtyard there in
this and he points to the northeast, a little bit inside
of a large building with. That seems to be a connected to
a bunch of other buildings that that are pumping out some steam
and smoke. You assume factory work and
such. It's usually where you can find
him, unless he's sleeping or eating.
Then you can find him just next door at his estate.
Well, more of a shoebox of a house, but you know, I'm not
going to tell my boss how to live.
What time is it? Oh, and he looks back at his
wrist. You've got the hour of 10 and
two. So, so would would Telus be
sleeping? No.
Probably be at at his desk, more mostly chained there.
Perfect. Perfect.
Thank you, desk. And with that, Yarlson's just
gone. Just jumped out of the carriage.
Wants to go. We shall free him from his
chains and I'm gonna run after. Bye, bye.
I'll turn around and hand this due to a handful of whatever of
money. There's a running theme.
My characters don't remember things and they're bad with
money like me. Yeah, we're just wondering.
He looks down at his palm and it's just like a few, like a
handful of sardines probably, and just looks back up like,
thanks, I hope you find him and you're meeting on time.
He now just runs away. That makes total sense.
He wouldn't even think money is money.
Fish is money. It's precious to us.
So it makes sense. And it looks like which one are
you? Carl.
Yarl.
OK, I it doesn't give me like a I noticed that Jeffrey had put a
green dot over his head, so I can distinguish him at least,
but the there's no distinguishing features for me
from the other side. I just see cats flying around on
my screen. I'm like, I don't know so.
How do you do the dot? Right or if you click on it and
you see the little like icons, the one at the bottom let's a
circle that looks like a button you click that you can add like
different icons do your thing. I'll be blue.
I'll be purple. Alright, alright, we'll.
Put a mix on it. Whoops.
Here we go. So y'all talk to.
My brother seem to have recalled the path most fluently.
I don't know where you went, bro, And this is where we're
running around. Come back or growl Side quest
now. I'm just kidding.
Did you say dead ahead crawls running around dead end?
Is this the token for the Telus? I forget what he looks like.
Yes, it is. I saw colors.
We'll do for one second. There you go.
I'm gonna walk up. I'm gonna walk up to tell us.
And I'm gonna, like, grab his hand with both of mine.
I'm gonna be like, you must help us, Jeffrey.
And he would like in the midst of like doing some sort of some
sort of calculations You see on his paper, that's about all you
get because there's math and that's numbers are above you.
Yeah, exactly. And he goes, oh, oh, oh, excuse
me. Oh, yours.
You're all right. I don't know which one you are.
I'm sorry. I'm.
Just yeah. I'm just gonna look at him and
say yes, OK? Said my name.
Anyways, so I didn't catch what you were saying there.
I'm sorry. Have you been here for a while?
I've been quite engrossed in my understandings of Dragon's
breath and how to capture it for the Queen.
Do you have a request or something before you go off on
your journey? Yes, this is the ship guy,
right? I'm gonna like turn.
Yes, I'm gonna say our dear, dear friend is trapped and we
need your help 0. We must untrap her.
That does sound ominous. Are they like under a boulder or
something? Should I go get some forces?
No, they're stuck in a bottle. Oh, it must be very small then.
Genie, it's it's a magical kind of stuck.
We think. We're not sure.
Makes far more sense why you've come to seek my help then.
Yes. So our friend is a ship, and the
ship is in a bottle and we need to get the ship out of the
bottle. Ha.
He kind of like takes his glasses off for a second.
He looks up and starts chewing on one of the ends and he goes,
well, what an interesting conundrum you have there.
Do you know perhaps how she found herself in the bottle?
And a followup question, is she sentient?
That's a big word. Say, do we know what that word?
Does she speak to you? Yeah.
Yes, yes, Ah. Well, very nice, very funny.
Makes the question far more broad.
I don't mean that in the feminine sense.
Thinking, thinking. And he puts his glasses back on.
He starts running his hand through his hair.
He he takes the notes that he had been writing on with some
sort of math problem, and he kind of like dog ears It in the
book that he's working on flips to the back where there's a
bunch of until he gets to some more scrawlings, and then he
starts scrawling in this ununderstandable text.
It's seemed to be some sort of glyphs and and such.
And then he he picks it up holds it in the light, turns it
sideways and then starts to like rub the page and then peel it
off of the page and then blow some life into it as it takes
shape into a into like this graph form in the air.
And then he goes about how big would you say the bottle is and
you start to drawing in the air of like about yo so big or about
so big he draws like a full bottle or half bottle.
I don't have a good answer. Yeah.
Finally, we brought it with us. We just.
Look at each other. Well, we can carry it ever back,
right? Yeah.
Have any of us ever seen the actual bottle?
I mean, I just know that it's in me mae's backpack and the cat is
real obsessed with it, so it can't be too big.
I want to make a good general motion to be like, hey, yay.
Big not bigger than us. Not small, but not bigger than
than us. I mean, oddly, that helps.
OK, so he draws kind of like a form in the air that's
moderately larger of a bottle, just to be sure.
He seems like he starts spinning it around inside the air and
then then he then he takes takes it and turns it to the front and
he goes about and how is it closed?
Is it corked? Is it kept?
Yarl's gonna look over it with the other two.
I don't think we've ever seen it.
It's gotta be corked, right? Bottles are corked pork.
Yeah, we'll. Just like.
Gotta be a cork, just like. Has to be. 100%, yeah, we'll
just guess. It's what makes sense.
Yep, yeah, we all knottle on. Ship in a capped bottle.
OK, well that's going to make some of this a little bit more
difficult I guess, but I would I you you make a good point.
Most places around here do use corks.
It is only in this city that we've been finding uses for caps
and other things Anyhow, so he like sits.
He leans back against his desk. He's not sitting down, the desk
is up at a standing height. And then then he takes the
floating image that he's faced towards you, all three, and then
tries to like float it around and set it on the desk.
And then stands it up, though, and he goes, so is the ship
oriented on the bottom of the bottle, or more vertically in
the bottle, you know? And then he turns the bottle on
its side and sets it down inside.
That seems to be the usual orientation of such things.
And does that seem right? Think so.
OK. Like it's sideways.
Yeah, y'all's gonna put their hands up and be like has to be
sideways, right? Yeah, we.
All like are looking at each other and we're like, that makes
sense, OK, nodding. As soon as one person is like,
yeah, we're all bat, all jump on the bandwagon.
Yeah, pretty much. It would be a lot easier if if
you had taken some snapshots. Do do you know the snapshot
spell? It's quite simple.
I could teach it to you for the future.
We all look at each other. We could become Wizards.
Magic. Yes, Yes, it's a.
It's a simple, very simple, simple spell.
Jeffrey turns to the others. Why don't we just bring him back
with us? Yes, yes.
You're always gonna. Yes.
What are you? What are you guessing about?
I didn't understand. It's gesturing.
I'm sorry. Come.
With you should come with us. Come see the bottle for
yourself. Oh well, that would make things
a lot simpler. I do have to finish up some work
here. Could I perhaps meet you in a
few hours somewhere? What?
What work do you need to finish? Can we help?
More hands makes less work and the girl is gonna hold up their
paws and give them like jazz hands.
I'm don't mean to be rude, but I'm not sure those hands are
suited for such work. Ohh is it?
Because we don't have thumbs. Opposable thumbs.
You bastard Bishesist. Well then.
I suppose if there's nothing we can do here, how will you know
where to meet us? Do you know where the pink plush
plug is? Oh, certainly.
It's the most popular club in the all the Socrates, but I know
where it is. It's just never been there
myself. Don't much, usually have the
free time. Well, we are sleeping, but the
bottle is in the pink plush pig in a guest room.
That is where. So we will, we will wait for you
outside. Oh OK well let you're going to
have to give me at least until after afternoon here.
Well, you know after midday which is at least another.
And he says a time that would be appropriate for that world, but
it's like 10 minutes and heart. That we need to tell.
So do a Dounay is the ship Dounay is our due to your friend
very excited for her. Is there anything that she
should do to prepare? Is there anything we need to do
to prepare her? Should we, You know?
Well, it sounds like it's at least reminiscent of some sort
of enchantment of a of a bottle. And obviously you could imagine
at least that a individual and somehow gone through the process
of enlarging or on enlarging either the ship or the bottle.
So my only suggestion would probably be the in a space that
a she could fit after coming out of the bottle.
So we need to take her someplace else.
Yep, outside of the city or up on a roof.
Well, no, we want to take. She's just a regular ship yet,
right? Yeah, yeah, she doesn't.
Fly so we. Not yet.
OK, so we need to take her. So wait, where in the water
should we take her? Well, if I might suggest, you
could probably head to the port. It's one most ships dock in the
city. Yeah, but is the port nice?
Is the water fresh? Is she going to be happy then
like it there? Is she gonna get bullied?
The other boat's gonna boat bullier.
Don't think there's many sentient chips there.
It's very ugly. Ohh.
So she's gonna be lonely. Well, I mean, unless you are
planning to utilize her, I probably wouldn't do this.
Unless you're planning to utilize her, it's it's quite a
ritual. It takes quite a while and to
put her back in the bottle, so to say, would also probably take
quite a while and quite a ritual.
Yeah, I don't know. We want her out of the bottle.
We want her to be able to roam the overseas it sounds like.
At least if she was in the bottle.
For after you've gotten her out of the bottle, you'll probably
want to put her back in, you know, to bring her along with
the rest of your journeys, if it.
Unless it's always going to be on the sea.
I don't. I don't know how you We're not
on the sea now. Well, so I'm not sure anybody
asked to do that. Her feelings about being in a
bottle before this, I know she does not like being in the
bottle right now. I don't know if she'll want to
go back in you're. Only present for the
negotiations. Yeah, maybe.
We should cross that bridge when.
We get to it. Well, do we know that the plan
was to turn her into a flying ship?
We should. That's been talked about, yeah,
a lot. Yeah, that was, that was
something that was talked about during the negotiations.
It was part of the reward for the Dragon breath exchange.
Ohh yeah. So Jeffrey's gonna sign to the
others. Tell him that we're going to see
the Dragon after this and we need to put her into place of
port where we could get there, but like the port leaving from
the port allow us to get to the Dragon do.
You know, good Sir, if we can reach the Red Dragon from the
port this port you speak of, Which Red Dragon are you trying
to reach? Ohh wait, you're part of the run
rollers, aren't you? I was.
You're trying to reach Shonda, I would assume yes.
Then you'll most definitely want to head to the southwestern
port. That's the main port of the
city, although you could be more dramatic about it if you wish.
And head to the Market District and go for a splash from the
cliffs of the Market District. Personally love the sound of
this make a splash and cliffs, but is that safe?
Does it do not going to be safe? No.
There's been a few ships launched from there, usually on
their first berths as a christening of sorts.
So she won't be damaged. Yeah, it's a it's a small drop
as long as the crane does its job.
Dude, I love it. Let's make a splash.
I'm gonna turn around and look at the the other two Rawlsons
and see what they think splash. Vigorously and make a big splash
motion. So shall I meet you at the edge
of the cliffs in the A lot? In time.
Market District is. We will meet you there.
OK. That sounds like a plan that
might take me a little bit longer if I'm not meeting you
just outside. So plan on, say, next session.
Yeah, and how I was gonna say, I think this is a good time for us
to like make it back to the pink plush pig and like.
Because I don't know if we want to talk to our compatriots
before this happens and let let them know what we're doing and
then next session we can take a DNA to the market region with
them and return her to our natural.
I think so. There's a good utility session
of just getting stuff done. Is there anything I can?
Do I am so proud of on let's? Say that again is.
There anything I can knock off A table?
There's lots of things that are on tables.
I'm gonna knock something off of the table that I'm next to and
Sir, Sir, Ferris tells Just Goes.
Well, that wasn't nice. Sorry.
It's a it's a habit. I just I things on the now
Anyway sorry. Well I've got the perfect thing
for that. You should check out my new
product and he goes under the table and he grabs a what looks
like a a bottle but with some sort of weird figure on it and
he goes go ahead and try and knock something off the table
now. I will do exactly that.
You go to reach for it and he starts spraying you with the
bottle. We all flee, yeah, he's.
Running the shit, come out, be at the market, OK, well, you
know where to find me if you ever need any on magical
products, he says, as you're running away from the spraying
bottle. Nice.
We accomplished more in this session with three chaos cats
than we do normally in a regular session.
No proud of us. Chaos.
Characters. Yep.
Yeah. I like.
I hope we get to do. I like this as a side quest like
as I. Know one off.
Like seller, just like like you were saying, like Pikachu goes
to the city, like so I've watched.
I don't know if you guys have watched the Ghost of the Shell
anime. They're also these supporting
characters. I'll touch comas and they also
have their own like adventure episodes and they're great.
I feel like Yep, this this is a very good filler.
Yeah, for sure. Game.
Yep. And it's also perfect when you
have less amount of people because you know, less turn
that's ideal for such a small, such a small thing.
But the yeah, these guys will eventually get their all their
own character growth. It'll be so nice.
So I would, I also think be extra fun if right?
Like these like. Sessions keep happening where we
utilize these characters and like so the different people in
the game like they're played by different people every time.
They like grow each time but like in slightly different ways.
I'm. Gonna have some personality.
Yeah, I think it'd be very fun. That's how I feel like cats are
depending upon the day, they're just different person, right?
Yeah. It's It's perfect.
All right. Good shit.
Fun times. Yeah, well, I'm gonna jump off
here and go try to get some sleep.
I have to get up early tomorrow. But yeah, this has been good
times. Glad.
You enjoyed. Thanks for running.
Yeah, yeah, it was great. Maybe I'll do this for something
like this for my one shot. All the.
Role since the. Whole extended family, cousins
and all. Support this.
This would be great. Everyone's just a cat.
Yes, thanks for the game. All right.
Yep. I'll text talk to.
You. Yeah.
Thanks. Bye, bye, bye.
