Hello, what you're about to listen to is the post show
discussion of the most recent main campaign episode #47
Birthright. I always do a wind down with the
group after every session we have and it seems like most
people really love listening to the players thoughts after a
game night. This type of audiophile is the
primary benefit of becoming a patron, as there is one of these
for every group session. While we've been away, I found
myself relisting to all of them, and they're a real treat to
listen to regarding what the players thought of each new
challenge, as well as the predictions that they made and
whether or not they came true. Speaking of the Season 3 to 4
break that we've been in, I thank you very much for your
patience on new releases. As any DM would know, the real
big bad evil guy of tabletop role-playing is scheduling.
As of the day this file is released publicly on December
13th, we have yet to be able to meet as a whole group.
However, I finally finished my last semester of my postgraduate
education and as such, I finally been able to just go to town
with prep for season 4. So you can bet that once all
five of us can get back together, we're in for a fun
adventure. I hope you enjoyed this behind
the scenes look at our post show discussion of the most recent
episode. Thank you for your continued
support. OK.
OK, fine. Why, why why is dark Deoxys
here? My my boy the the giga evil
Deoxys eating up the dark matter in space or something, Sam.
Going to be OK. Sam got fucking shot in the face
that. Was the 87 points like?
We don't know what Sam's HP is, but it's also.
Like I have ultra HP now and mine is not that high.
My my HP is 83 and I'm I'm dummy thick.
I'm well above average. We don't know what level Sam is.
That's true. We don't.
We also don't know anything about Kaz so.
What about the Winstreak kid? He's.
Also, nobody cares about him anymore, OK?
Yeah, also like get fucked idiot.
Like I don't want. Him to die?
Are we going to compare to the garden?
Well had to reopen the funeral service gang.
I'm really wearing my funeral service shirt right now.
I was wearing it today. Foreshadowing.
I have an update for you guys. You all level up, isn't that
great? Holy shit, no way.
Do you guys know what level 9 comes with?
No. Two things, Existential Dread,
yes, that one, all of your proficiency bonuses increased to
+4, which increases everything you do.
Just overall basically. And I know we've gotten so many
upgrades, but it also comes with a new passive.
Goodness gracious. So we'll do stats later, but
let's see. There's a lot to unpack here.
This could be a good season finale perhaps, but.
I I actually do think it would be.
Yes, that would be, yeah, kind of.
Oh my God. I think the only issue is we
have to sit with that until fucking however long.
Yeah, well, we can continue to play.
We could. If we I.
Guess we could, yeah. We're not going to release
anything. Sitting with this knowledge,
they'll be. Brimming they'll be like I what
I just that's a lot of there's a lot of info happening.
I have a fucking demon, Schmidt found his grandfather.
Elodie can heal people with her life force and Cindy, Cindy
partake in child gambling. So.
And she gets now a lot of keeper too.
Yeah, Schmidt's gonna summon. Raquesa also fucking Deoxy's
just, you know, just killing two people.
And yeah, Deoxys crash landed, killed two people.
Also, I I think Schmidt might have been wrong about Symetra.
Now she's dead. Yeah, now you just feel bad.
Now I just feel I felt bad when I got there the, the, the, the
drawing and I was like, oh shit, that's kind of like a genuine
nice thing. I'm more.
Curious about the jacked Alakazam?
Like yeah, this fucking mega Mewtwo X ass.
That's a huge reveal for sure. The fans are going to love that.
There's so much. That Alex Zam kind of had me
thinking of like the the YouTube movie where they had like clone
stuff with like they had kind of scars all over.
Their body like the barking stuff?
Yeah. It's probably not the same, but.
That's what it made me think of. I'm kind of lean in psychic
fighting type like variant kind of guy.
I'm going to prepare to send all of your new passives and stuff
to you, but you guys need to keep talking about the session.
I'm not going to reveal them until.
I feel like a lot happened and I didn't say hardly shit the
entire session. I think, yeah, I mean, it's more
of a reaction, not saying shit, you know, you said a lot with
like just going. You also received a lot of
information and you're just like reacting to it.
Yeah, this is my grandfather, and I realized now Faulkner's my
dad and I'm a lore keeper. I was really putting in.
Thank you SO. Dracon and Bloodline live
Faulkner storyline rewrite is pretty sick to be honest.
Yeah. Because he was pretty boring of
a character before. Rick was just like fond of his
entire story. No, we had we had discussed that
Faulkner wish Schmidt's father, but Schmidt nor Whitney didn't
know. Yeah, but no, that was a sick.
That was a sick way to go about it and reveal adding that.
He had a hunch. Didn't you?
I know you did. Everybody was like joking that
like, oh, this is Schmidt 2 point O Schmidt's father, ha ha.
And I was just like, yeah, it's ha ha, funny.
So I'm like Schmidt's father's actually Faulkner.
I think Richie knows this. I thought you forgot and you
were just going to make walk or shoot.
Got him. Especially when you kept talking
about like, oh, there was a a pink haired woman like that that
ruined my life before and I'm just like.
Moo moo milk. It's like, man, this man's
addicted to moo milk. It's in the jeans.
That's why I was chuckling. I'm like, this man is this man's
grandfather for sure. I didn't have grandfather on the
radar until it's like, yeah, my son has blue hair.
And I was like, OK, so that's not me.
Wait a second. No, but definitely reconing
Faulkner's storyline to make him actually an interesting
character. I've just, my dad's the greatest
flying type trader. No one knows who he is.
Right? Like, OK, cool.
Yeah, cool bro. And Schmidt's hair per.
Genetics are weird dude. That's how genetics work.
Yeah, that's definitely how genetics work for sure.
Dominant. Recessive.
Yeah, the brown hair. Makes the two colors pink and.
Blue hair are recessive jeans. This is anime, we can do
whatever we want, yeah. If pink and blue are both
recessive, you having brown hair would be like impossible, but
they're like. They would need both.
You still have the the dominant. Yeah, they're recessive.
Yeah, let's. Just do a real thing.
Square recessive that. That's not.
That's also not necessarily how that works either.
I mean it could be like a codominancy or like a.
Yeah, there's, there's partial dominancy.
There's like genetics that skip generations as well that come up
like that kind of thing. So.
What color hairs does not Faulkner the the Walker have?
Agree. Silver.
OK. He's an old man.
What? Once was his hair color or is
that? We do not know, no.
Great, next session. Should definitely.
Ask Hang Locker. Hang locker, that's your.
Hair color like before you went Gray, what color was your hair?
Hell yeah, yeah, just right in the middle of like, I know
Deoxys and death is coming but like, what color was your hair
dog and. Then him like putting it
together then bit sentence booking it.
Yeah, my man had a mission. Do you think I mean you?
Thought he was running for his responsibilities.
That would be funny. Running from that situation.
I mean, he was running to give you responsibility.
I guess, yeah. A couple things I want to ask
just to just to pry and to help the listeners for the post show
discussion. Grace Tomatoma was describing
some horrific situations that occurred in Hoen 15 years ago.
I think one of them was pretty clear, and she touched on a
second one that happened immediately after.
Do you have any idea what that is?
No. OK, that's fine, you aren't
supposed to. I'm just wondering if like your
meta knowledge that does anyone at the table have any idea what
my? Thoughts were it was Groudon and
Kyogre like one at a time. I'm doing the cheeky thing where
I'm borrowing from Emerald and Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire.
That's what I was going to say, but like yeah, the post game.
I I vaguely I do remember like Zinnia and Rick was a being in
the post game, but I don't remember specifically what
happened We're. Talking about Delta episode
right that we're. Doing, yeah.
You had Omega and you're fighting Deoxys in space.
Yeah, you go. You you surf in space and yeah.
It's kind of horrible memories. I don't.
Want to it was was the Delta episode of Catastrophe I.
Don't think so. I think it was AI don't.
Think it was like it was. Supposed to avoid like we were
supposed to avoid catastrophe. Yeah, it was maybe.
How am I supposed to? Put it.
I wonder if it was like. There was a situation that
required Rayquaze's aid. Right.
Yes, that's. What I'm saying it wasn't
necessarily a disaster, but OK. OK.
That's what was being referenced.
OK. Yes, checking if anyone thoughts
about. I also think that like the two
Kyogre Groudon appearances might have been like different, like
there's a Kyogre Groudon thing and then there was the Alpha,
you know, because they're not the alpha.
The what am I talking about? The origin form, whatever.
Yeah, those could have been separate event.
I never played Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, so I don't know that
plot. Sure.
Blake, she said she was like, oh, like, you know, after
everything with Archie and Maxie happened and then this happened.
So this is like separate from Archie and Maxie, which is what
makes me think it's not Groudon Kyoto.
Related she also. Describes Cox is here to fuck
things up. Richie, you were so in my
fucking head this week. Yeah, like, no, no, no.
I just watched your name. Have you seen that movie?
No, it's a movie where like a guy and a girl are like body
swapping, like Freaky Friday kind of thing, except they do it
multiple times and they've never met each other.
Oh really? So one girl, like the girl lives
out like in the country and then the guy lives in the city and
they keep like leaving notes in each other's phones or whatever,
but the only thing they don't remember is each other's names.
Every time they switch back. Then the guy like goes out to
find the girl because he can't stop thinking about her, right?
And then he goes to a village or a village was destroyed by
meteor. Oh, really?
Yeah, And I was like, oh, that'd be a sick idea for a campaign.
And I was trying to figure out something wrong that That's
interesting. Meteor destroys and kills
people. Interesting.
So I don't know. You're in my head.
Get out or pay rent. Does the party, you probably
have a lot of thoughts and I'm going to interrupt just for this
one. Does the party think that this
alien you guys are saying is Deoxys that has appeared?
Is this a spontaneous event or is this something else?
I think big glowy green thing reaction.
I, I, I don't want it to be team energy involvement, but like
they've been trying to do stuff. So I wonder if some of what
they're doing has caught like caused this as like a reaction.
No, I think Schmidt had the glowing green rock and then the
glowing green rock was visible from space and Deoxys was like,
all right, I'm coming back for that action.
I feel like, yeah, like Walker like seemed to know what was
going on. So I feel like some sort of like
prophesized event. So so I feel.
Like a new form for him to like Deoxys.
It's a form described that I can't well, I I don't think I've
like the dark glowiness of it. Like kind of changed the way I
view Deoxys in general like that.
It felt different. I don't know.
Also save. Always there showed up.
Oh true, he's just like randomly there like.
How was he there? Where?
Was he arriving from?
The ceiling dog? Like what?
Weird. I had a couple other things I
want to touch on. What Pokémon was he on?
I described it as a purple 4 winged bat.
Oh, that's right. That definitely reinforces the
the theory that the brother is a silver.
Sorry. Catch up.
That's great. Sorry.
I'm going to. Send I wanted to share but I
know it had nothing to do with what was happening.
The next time we play, I think I'm going to do our level up
stuff beforehand because you guys might want it for
whatever's about to happen. Elodie, I'm sad to say that your
level 9 bonus is the one you just acquired, but.
I understand cabbage is going to get one.
Cabbage is going to get. One.
Yeah, yeah, or all of our Pokémon, or some of our Pokémon
leveling up. Whatever Pokémon are with you to
being level except for Bean because being just evolved and
all your partner Pokémon are getting new passive.
Let me know if you have any questions about what I've sent
sent you. But how many Pokémon can we
carry right now? Is it?
3/4. Four.
OK so I'm just trying to remember who I have.
Yeah. Dog, what a wild couple days for
D&D. Yeah, we did.
A lot. I'm glad that our regular
session was spookier than the Halloween session.
True. So is regular session going out
first or is Halloween going out first?
Probably Halloween because it's time sensitive.
Gotcha. Yeah, I guess they would both
work, but I want it to and Keira already has it.
She doesn't have this. Any of your thoughts about the
session? Any other thoughts about what I
just sent you? As far as the post show goes, we
will be going to this in our follow up in our level up.
That will be a Patreon exclusive thing.
But I'm going to be honest, I'm still working on exactly how I
want Cindy's trainer passive at the moment.
As you'll see. I just sent you solely's.
I'll send you something and we'll talk about it, we'll
review it and stuff. But I I'm open to criticism of
the ones I gave you, but I think you guys are going to like them.
That's so sick. That's super sick.
OK. The theme for the ones that your
Pokémon have are all based on HP expenditure.
Actually, I thought that that was a cool theme that we could.
So I guess so how? How does I know it's like HP
expenditure, but it says may add any amount of dice damage dice
to the damage formula in exchange for that same dice
total amount worth of HP. So if you so this ability is
called cursed flames. If you want an attack to do more
damage, this is a free action. So you can do this after the
fact as well. You can say this attack does
2D8, I want to add three more D8.
You can add three more D8, but you will be dealing the same
amount of damage to yourself. Or just those 3D.
OK, so I'm not like saying I'm going to roll an extra D 10 for
this, right? And take the full 10.
I take whatever that role is, correct?
Okay, sick. Mitch passive is kind of raw,
I'm not going to lie. Dude lying goes hard too.
Do we just want to share right? Now, yeah.
It's Dragon it Heritage. Any technique that he used by
Schmidt or his Pokémon on the target that is not aware of
their presence ignores any type resistances and debilitating or
penalizing effects of the attack.
Charge time, recoil, exhaustion, in addition to effects granted
by Schmidt or his Pokémon's other passive.
This does not circumvent type. That's so sick.
Just ignoring resistances. Ignoring resistances.
Yeah. So I actually got a handful,
obviously the mechanic as well the sacrificing HP mechanic, but
I can use it to make walls. Well, Trevor can make walls by
sacking his HP. In a nutshell.
Like there's like other like. Skin Lee always gets the really
long descriptions, unfortunately.
Yeah, mine are massive. Like it's, it's like a whole
essay on how this mechanic works, but it's great.
Like there's even typing to the walls.
Like it's crazy. But I also get two other
passives, Mountainous Presence, so I can roll on any intimation
rolls. Can roll strength instead of
charisma. Oh shit.
Yeah, so every everyone like Pokémon can intimidate with
strength. That's all Pokémon or.
Is that for Gimli? Too.
No, that's for me too. OK.
Yeah, anyone level 5 or higher. Yeah, that's just like Lily.
Just Rocket. I also have Stoneskins so when
Gimli or any of my Pokémon receive melee damage, ties do
not favor the attacker. OK.
So it's effectively just plus one AC like pretty much.
Yeah, against melee, yeah, specifically so yeah, everyone
of my mom says. Plus one AC to melee and really
high really high ability to do intimidation is.
This ability only for solely well that I got OK.
I am. I have the same thing for
Trevor. Yeah, as I said, I'm working on
a Cindy one that's applicable to everyone, but I it's not where I
want it right now. So I'll get it to you before the
next session. Oh yeah, no, no rush.
You're fine. I do specifically appreciate
that you're tailoring the passives that we keep receiving
to like fit the characters as we've developed them.
Well, you make it easy. I do make it easy, but I like
yeah, I do delivery design my characters by specific ways of
doing combat. I'm worried.
I'm I'm like shoehorning Schmidt, but I hope it's OK the.
Duck. Desperate.
Well, he's more yeah, more so leaning to like that roguish
sneaky come from behind play style.
Like he he he is giving you consistent like, hey, here's
more bonuses for doing that thing.
And it's like he he's I guess you're worried that like you're
kind of like pushing a a type of play style narrative on to him.
Yes, OK. I'm.
Down. But it seems like he's down.
Yeah. That is things.
Yeah. Yeah.
Everyone else is pretty clear, yeah.
I had no pre. Well, so I said, like, I think
it's nice to have like a combat direction because like I, I love
combat. Like my friend, my friend Sean,
who he runs out of their campaign, he bought me a book
about player combat in D&D because like, that's what I like
about this game is like the free form flow combat in comparison
to like other RPG type of things that I played.
Like the, the beauty of tabletop to me is that like I could just
like literally do whatever the fuck I want and then I just roll
a dice to see if it worked out. Yeah.
And like he's like, yeah, just like here's a whole book on like
this, this whole entire concept from like it's like a almost
like a general's guide to like how you position parties and
D&D. And I was like, this is great.
This is why I play this game like at Lower school and all,
And the storylines are great. But like, I'm all about combat
mechanics and like Richie's just like, cool, you want to like
make stuff, here you go. Like you're just making shit.
Oh, you want to build a wall, cool.
You're going to do some cool shit with that wall.
Like I'm all about that. We are giving LED a healing
ability that costs her own health, but we're also giving
cabbage something. Do you have anything to say
about that Grace? Oh yes, Cabbage gets to make an
impenetrable pink Dome centered around herself.
What does it cost? It costs her HP.
Like how much? Her remaining HP.
Oh my SO. The all of it.
Yeah, that's like a desperation save the day bubble right there.
Well, like if you're down to 1 HP, that'd be a great time to
use. Yeah.
Some HP sacrifice or if it's. The HP of the force field is the
amount that you sacrifice. Yeah, so that's actually
terrible. Like you have one HP.
All right, Well, this, this is like a piece of glass, like just
instantly shatters. But it also traps friendly
creature. You know, friend, friendly
creatures can exit it but not enter, but hostile winds can
enter, cannot enter or exit. So this could be good for
trapping things too, which as we've seen, I like to do, I
guess with those karate kids. Yeah, or the ninja kids.
The ninja kids. Yeah, karate kids.
Karate kids. Yeah, clearly they are the
they're. Coming the next session with the
Karate Kids. Oh no.
No, no. Fucking Caz comes back, he's got
5 karate kids, fucking 5 abras that are all like black belts.
Yeah, instead of using spoons, Cass has forks.
He just fights with them. They're knives.
Oh man, I'm scared. Instead of bending spoons, he
just breaks people's backs. Water type Alakazam from this
he's like a country redneck kind of guy and then he.
Instead of a 5000 IQ, he has a 5 IQ.
He just. And he's not best friends with
Charizard. Damn.
Any any other thoughts about the session stuff?
We didn't spend a whole lot of time talking about Bean.
Yeah, yeah. Is Bean like becoming the
villain? I hope so, that'd be awesome.
I don't know dude, he's just a husk.
Like he's just literally he's just absorbing energy to turn
into a Megadeth ttar. Ghosty Boy.
Well, like if he's absorbing the energy for that experience, like
he's definitely looking to like build up power.
Like that's like to me, that's the perception of like if he has
the black smoke and the black smoke seems to be absorbing like
everything he Kos like he's definitely feeding to like grow
in a similar way to like how Larvitar like going into
pupitars essentially just like a cocoon to turn to Tyrannotar.
Now he's just like just doing it for the outside, just like Oh
yes, more nutrients souls like what the fuck?
What? What, besides souls, was he
consuming? Oh.
I don't even remember. I know he was like consuming.
He was consuming some I my perception of it was life force
of yeah, this like any sort of living matter like you, because
he was absorbing like the basically like it seemed like
the souls of the Zubat are some some like life force energy, but
then also consuming bones. Like he's definitely like
building himself, it seems like. Build a bean.
Build a bean Build a bean workshop over here.
Anyone particularly familiar with Larvitor's deck centuries?
No, no. They mostly talk about how
despite being small, he has a voracious appetite and they are
known to eat entire mountains. So now he's just eating bones as
a ghost, yeah. Spirits interest.
I love that. Yeah, that was crazy.
They'll Heckle back to the giant corpse that it's like, I'm just
going to eat this. Well, well, buddy, I was like
the inch's jaw just goes fucking hard on this rib are.
You going to finish that one? Yeah, my, my, my man was like,
he's at the BBQ. He scooped up the ribs.
I want my baby back, baby back, baby.
Oh God, Cindy got creeped out by a gambler.
Yeah, that was like so interesting.
All the crazy things, ALDI literally sacrificing her life
force to heal people. I've got some weird zombie
Absorbee monster. Schmidt found his grandfather
Sydney gambled like. That she did observe something
about the Atlas Stone. She did?
Yeah. Any.
Thoughts on that? There's a lot of dragony pieces
all over. Honestly forgot we had that.
And some of the dragony pieces are in the meteors because
they're moving. That's what I I thought, but I
could be. Wrong, I think it was.
You had it dragon type Pokémon touch it so it was tracking
other dragon type Pokémon. But it lights up like the whole
world, not just Helen. Well then you can track all the
dragon type Pokémon in the world.
Because it it usually like it lights up like one or two places
based on where like the stones or shards or whatever magic
magic is. It was saying something.
It is. Oh, go ahead.
So I'm like, man, if this Deoxys encounter gets dicey, we can try
to teleport the Deoxys out of there with the Hoopa ring.
We. Do have the Hoopa?
Ring. We do have the hoop.
Deoxys. OK, plunk this guy.
Take him somewhere that's really throw him into the sun.
Dog, I don't want this guy here. Or just wherever the Hoopa ring
puts him. Yeah, Hoopa, Hoopa.
We'll figure it. Out we're gonna pop up and.
It's going to teleport him like 4 feet.
And it's like behind us like. My man's going to troll the shit
out of us. Oh, Hoopa, if he trolled us for
the one last time we needed him most.
Think you've been holding on this forever.
This is your punishment here. The Axis is behind you now, the
place you least wanted him to go.
Oh my God grace, I just looked at voice text.
Oh my God, has that's. What everybody was visualizing,
right? Yep, that's it.
My man is swole. That's funny.
Now, that was a lot. That was just a lot of big
reveals. And that's why I'm like, yeah, I
definitely agree with that being the the season finale.
He was hold them off. We haven't done that since like
the Mobil siege, I think. Yeah, sometimes you got to do
it. I don't know sometimes.
No, it's a it's a good spot. That's the cliffhanger, man.
You got to get them with it. Everyone hates cliffhangers, but
man does it keep you interested. They are effective.
There's a reason why people keep
using them. Like I can't believe I have to
wait for this, this epic boss battle that's going to occur and
all the other crap that was revealed because you you gave a
lot of Nuggets with this one. A lot of stuff happened too.
It's not like it was like a week episode that ends on a
cliffhanger. It's like now the cliffhanger
was just one of the many fucking things that happened.
Oh God I hope the the Dragonite gang doesn't get like just
absolutely thrashed by Deoxys. Also the silver reveals got a
dope but at least it appears to potentially be silver.
We don't know that, but. But also Schmidt might be able
to summon Raquesa to help. Deal.
Dude, that's literally what I was going to say.
I was. Like that's a whole build up.
Try summoning Raquesa like. Delta episode, you went to space
to stop the meteor. Like the it's here.
Like he's late. Yeah, but like what the?
Way that you said. You should try summoning
Raquesa. It sounded like like a drunk 30
girl at a bar. Yeah, Schmidt should try.
Somebody's Raquesa. You should.
Just like summon Raquesa, yeah. It's kind of easy, duh.
Like that's the obvious thing you if you see deoxys here like
why wouldn't you just summon Raquesa?
You solved all the problems last time.
Like just call them up a Raquesa wake up.
The office is here again. He's causing trouble.
I, I, I interrupted your pertinent comment.
I don't remember what you were actually.
Saying I don't remember either. It's.
Fun. Probably wasn't important.
Rick Quasa. Come.
On do. You guys think that should make
him just do that? He can just be like, hey Quasa.
Absolutely. Fucking wild.
I don't know if I need. That power, I imagine.
Hey, man, I got an affinity for bird Pokémon.
You know what else are birds? Dragons.
You're welcome. Enjoy.
Yeah, enjoy. Blind type in here and my dunt
sparse. Yeah.
He's true, actually. I want you know what, Walt
Walter will definitely be able to stop Deoxys.
Absolutely. I agree actually.
And. If Walter doesn't do it, I have
a gun. Wait, we'll just shoot the oxes.
I mean, here's from space. Not options.
Yeah, we're out of options and we're out of time.
I'm not going to say it's not an option.
I mean, if you guys you like trying that, you're more than
welcome. He's.
Got to hit him with the one liners when you fire the bullet.
Yeah. And then we have to go find Sam.
Yes, we have to go bury Sam. How do we even like?
Where do we even start with that?
Like. The closest.
You know so much. The closest human hospital.
We also like what in an actual episode that Schmidt still
doesn't trust Sam. Yeah, that's the first time that
the front was exposed not in a post show, so.
Yeah. That was very funny.
He knew something. Yeah, it's like.
But I do know something about you, grandson.
It wasn't. That obvious.
I know. I know.
I know, I know. It's just the moment of like,
he's putting two and two together of like finger
Faulkner. Then he's full sports, just like
he's like and he's running. I'm like to where?
Where are you going, my guy? And Walker was never seen again.
Fuck, that was so. Good.
Yeah. My man was like, he ran on his
family once and he'll do it again.
Like that was the vibe. He's like, Oh my God, I have to
go get the milk and then Oh no, oh God.
I mean, that's what. Faulkner did right.
I know. Yeah.
Volcker left to go get the milk. He he found the cow.
He. Got the whole cow.
He got the whole cow dude. Oh my God.
So, yeah, in case the players, I mean, this is kind of revealed
for the players. I don't know if you all knew,
but at the very start of the campaign, Jacob was like, yeah,
Faulkner is Schmidt's dad, but he doesn't know it.
So it only took us like a year and a half for that reveal to
happen there. Yeah.
Did any of you guys know that
about Faulkner? I.
Think we discussed it before, did we?
Yeah, in like a post show or something.
Maybe not in a post show. But I, I, I feel like I maybe
I'm just forgetful because I am, but I also am like I knew about.
I basically just knew about Whitney off the top of my head.
I don't think I knew about Faulkner.
Yeah. I really can't remember it like
being a theory, but I don't remember it being.
Someone said it in the discord. Did someone say it?
Yeah, they were not convinced. Also, somebody just in the
discord implying that they might cosplay Schmidt is just about
the coolest thing. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait for Halloween. Really.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, not for a COM that
they're going to. It's in.
It's the most recent thing I've done.
Sports just. Oh my God.
One button. I've done too many shorts.
I have a Farfetch plus. God, no one's gonna know that
dude. If someone did though, that'd
be. Sick.
That's so crazy. No, stop.
My God. I don't know what to do with
this micro celebrity status. No, like my coworker who I told
to listen to our campaign, like he's literally on episode 2 and
he's like we can't be friends anymore because I'm a huge fan.
It's weird. It's like OK.
That's funny. Because he was like, we were
chatting. I don't even remember when.
It was just like prep time. And he's like, oh, I've been
listening to this DND campaign and I'm like, stop DND and
Pokémon and I'm in it. And he's like, I'm in what is
it? Damn.
So. Crazy.
Yeah, we have. We have a fan on episode 2.
He was also like, what is Discord and how do I use it?
So he might be joining at some point.
Might. Be the might be the oldest like
20 year old or yeah yeah, just like how old is heart.
Like 32, is he? Yeah.
Dude, I don't even know. He he lived in France, he's the
French teacher. So he taught in France for a
while. Yeah, the French know nothing
about Discord, I get. It Yeah, he's not.
He's not going. To blue like who cannot figure
out in this discord I. Cannot figure out these.
Like he grew up here, he just went taught in France for like 4
years, came back because I like COVID.
What is the discord? I'll get them set up eventually.
I'll discord. That's so funny cosplay though,
that's so great. I if anyone I will, I will
actually just like die if like I will actually pass away if
someone like recognizes who the character is like that's.
Fucking wild. I feel like Anna Khan would be
the place to recognize it though, right?
Yeah. Oh, more, more than likely, but
it's still like, whoa, what? What the fuck, though?
That's. A niche thing.
How funny this. Time we're going.
To be to look back on when one day we have our own panel at
Comic Con, am I right? Don't say that to me.
I'll die. I'm going to pass away.
Pass away. I'm just gonna just cease to
exist. But if Thanos snapped myself out
it, it is. Very weird having like people
that aren't are media friend groups.
I think I've said this in the discord before.
Like, I don't know, it's weird that people listen like just
absolute random strangers. Right.
And a random 7 year old. Yeah.
True 7 year old that we've kind of I don't know.
I mean it, it was nice. Very sweet.
Yeah, you know the reason why things are described as PG13?
Because if you have a parent, you don't have to be 13 so.
Or. It's recommended for parental
guidance, but however it's suggested you be above 13.
But like obviously for parents are like, yeah, sure, yeah,
yeah, sure. There's mature content like Sham
getting shot in the face. Yeah, pretty mature.
Yeah, People, people, people die or come close to it by getting
shot in the face by media. People have already died in the
campaign. Sure, sure, sure, we buried.
I know, yeah. We buried them, I understand,
but like you know it, it is what it is.
You guys have to find Sam so you can bury her.
Come on. Yeah, we got to.
We have to perform our task. Got to do our duty, dude.
I hope she survives because Kaz is like magic.
Kaz is just kind of teleported to a hospital I think.
That's why I'm saying we should check the the nearest like human
hospital for. He's like, take care of this
human that's and then he goes to the mountains.
In the fucking games, let's take you to a Pokémon Center.
Feel like that would be. The most natural thing?
Yeah, teleport in this universe seems awfully broken.
Not just like teleport to hospital, but also like I'm just
going to whopper on the map. Like OK.
Have teleport, Yeah. Doesn't one of our players have
teleport? Weird.
Crochet. That's kind of crazy that one of
our characters doesn't like have teleport.
What are you? Yeah, that would be so crazy if
someone in here had teleport and could use it in weird ways.
Yeah, if someone here also had another teleport thing on their
wrist, listen. Listen, listen, it's, it's fine.
Listen. Listen.
Yeah, we'll just eat the access through the Hooper ring.
It's going to be totally fine. And you'll shoot him on his way
through. Yep, with the gun.
Yep, Yep, Yep.
Well, I will. I will if we have to.
If I have to tackle through the Hooper portal and Tony Stark it
I will. Then you're down to party
members. Yeah, I'm going to dodge.
This is my death. Remember Me?
Go find my son for me. Tell him I was a hero.
Honestly, I thought Schmidt would be the first to go.
OK. I mean, everybody thought Cindy
would be the first to go. Because no, Yeah, no one thought
it was you first. I thought it was the one that
beckons every disgusting, crazy wild Pokémon with your Kitty.
Kitty would be the first to actually die, I thought.
Schmidt was going to get comic. Cindy.
Cindy just has crocodile hunter energy and something like
stupid's going to take her out. It's not even going to be
something that you would. You know, that's a horrible joke
if I'm going to say it. Stingrays.
Yeah, yeah, I got. From man Time, yeah.
The man time. Damn.
But like, I just want to let you know that like me as a real
person, like I was, oh, like 16 and we were in Florida and I was
like, here, mom, hold my, my digital camera.
I'm going to go hug that alligator.
I've seen enough episodes of the Crocodile Hunter.
And my mom was like, no, you're not gonna do that.
Yeah, I feel like in a different timeline, without your parents
involved in, like, controlling your life, that you would have
become like some crazy ass zookeeper.
They're like, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna train these lines so I
can climb in its mouth and it won't eat me like that.
That's your energy. The.
Tiger can, yeah. Just hold alligator's mouth's
close because like all their muscles are like the snapping
shut. Yeah, if you can do that.
But like, they have some big wiggle muscles.
So like, if you can hold their mouth shut, not get like, thrown
off of them as they like roll, Yeah.
Yeah, Oh yeah, you can keep their mouth shut.
Their mouths are easier to shut than like a dog or like anything
because all of their muscles are for chomping.
There's like no opening muscles. Yeah, you could wrap their mouth
with like some duct tape, like good duct tape.
But like, yeah, that'll break their mouth, Jet.
You didn't know what baby alligators sound like.
No, they're. So cute.
They literally sound like laser beams.
Like it's like really awesome. Let me pull it up for you as we
all listen together. DJ what an alligator.
Shut up. How many pets do you all have
now? We have 5 cats and a leopard
gecko. I'm trying to sell him on baby.
Chickens. She's never going to sell me on
baby chickens. I want a dog.
You can have a chicken as a pet within city limits in Arkansas,
no. Climb all over.
They're so cute. You hear them.
What is the Space Invaders shit? Everyone's so sick.
It's literally Space Invaders. Yeah, why am I?
Why? What is this laser tag arena in
a little pond like I don't you're.
In a fucking arcade right now. Yeah.
What is this? I've been here.
Is this Dave and Buster's like where?
Where am I? I like how I described a lot of
things about cause and you guys are really like, Oh yeah, the
muscular part. Yeah, that's that's it.
Not the fact he has like contusions and scars and stuff,
but that. I'm gonna have to listen to it.
Well, that that to me just came from fighting.
Yeah, yeah, that's fair. Like all that added up to them
being like a fighting type to me.
I mean, I could be wrong, obviously.
But like that, that's the whole vibe that he was just like,
yeah, he's muscular. He's like Alkazam, but he's
muscular and has battle scars. I'm like, this man trained, this
man fought. Like he's, he's a battle scarred
Alkazam. That's kind of nuts.
Sam said back in episode 3, so I won't recall it for you guys
that the Pokémon that would not open.
That was named cause was a gift. Any thoughts on that?
From me too. It's a gift from her father,
Giovanni. Yep, true.
I don't. I don't.
I don't necessarily subscribe to the Giovanni Father theory, but
I recognize the people in the discord who have been discussing
it. I think the Ginovani is the
adopted father. Yeah, I I think I'm sold on that
one. Well, thankfully, next episode
you'll just be able to ask her out, right?
Right. You'll just be saying, hey,
you'll totally be. There.
Hey, comatose Sam, can you tell me about your dad?
Hey, Sam. Can you teleport her back here?
I have a few questions. We do have her notebook now I
would like to add. Oh true, I was going to.
Say have the notebook. Snipping in her notebook is
completely useless because now we can just look at it with no
like. Oh, no repercussions.
Let's go. So we've.
Got headshot but we can read into her thoughts.
She may be dead, however. She did draw a cute picture.
I feel horrible. Like legitimately?
Damn, she actually likes the. Like imagery of that of like
just her laying in a pool of blood with this like adorable
like. She's a genuine person and you
were suspicious. Fucking oh man.
I'm not ready to deal with the consequences of my actions right
now. Yeah, you're just.
I'll just. Summon Rayquaza, it'll be that
he can deal with it for. You just summon Rayquaza, Like
just just do it. Just give him a ring.
You know you gotta replace his number.
Draw like Sam's notebook page with the meteor with the the two
of them and then like blood spatter on it.
Oh, you're. Going to draw.
It's so raw I. Think this out would be pretty
thick. That fucking goes hard dude are.
You gonna draw cosler too? You don't have to.
No, I was thinking of like it just being like the open spread
of that drawing but with like a little bit of blood splatter on
it where it's like, oh shit, what happened here?
Oh yeah, that's. Raw with the spoon there.
Yeah. OK, OK.
Yeah. For sure.
Yeah, we'll leave out the boom head checks.
Boom. We won 4, right?
Yeah, we already have the four. Correct.
Yeah, I think the four is fine. And then you.
Also want to say that I googled A headshot and it showed a bunch
of people's faces and I was like you know what?
Fair. Yeah, true and.
Here's what that is. I was worried because there was
that moment where after we introduced the dragon and
elders, we were like, oh, Bulbapedia, look, they're all
there. And I was worried that Schmidt
would dig too hard for Walker, who is canonically the name of
Faulkner's father, who is not on that list because he's not
canonically A Draconid. I was worried that he would like
dig too far on that. No, I looked it up once and I
was just like, Yep, this is a thing.
Yeah, you noted that he had a scar, Marie.
Canonically, I was like, I hope he didn't look at that too hard,
but I didn't. Well, that's good.
