1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
we're gonna open them out like the Wizards of Thay.

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,039
there's a couple guys stationed or they were last stationed at Xanthels Tower.

4
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:39,880
you're gonna find Naer Gotht Blade Lord, Jorgen Pawl, Iskander.

5
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:40,880
he's there too.

6
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,439
they don't want Tiamat to come back, they want power for themselves.

7
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:44,439
you guys got shrunk down.

8
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:50,640
a whole bunch of tiny frogs are coming out for the sock.

9
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,519
and you fly towards Gransys as he's just ducking in and you see his head kind

10
00:00:55,519 --> 00:00:56,780
of poke back out.

11
00:00:56,780 --> 00:00:58,120
Squish him!

12
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,780
Grants us looks over to us like,

13
00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:00,859
I was right.

14
00:01:00,859 --> 00:01:03,740
These were the grunts that I accidentally shrunk.

15
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:05,680
I've been talking to their head honcho here

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,900
and he seems to think that we can settle the differences.

17
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:12,819
There's apparently also something else that I,

18
00:01:12,819 --> 00:01:14,740
I'm still not a hundred percent sure what it is.

19
00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:16,420
Shut up, what do we have to fight?

20
00:01:16,420 --> 00:01:17,260
I don't know.

21
00:01:17,260 --> 00:01:18,939
I'd love some sort of weapon

22
00:01:18,939 --> 00:01:20,200
if we're fighting something.

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,500
They're gonna give us some weapons.

24
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,540
They lead you to what looks like

25
00:01:25,660 --> 00:01:28,740
an open coliseum or arena

26
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:31,620
and they push all five of you through this door

27
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:33,540
and the big gate slammed shut

28
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:38,540
and stepping out is a giant white sock dragon.

29
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:40,219
That's my sock!

30
00:01:40,219 --> 00:01:44,900
And it lets out a moaning, dry bellow.

31
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:46,860
So they're gonna let us go.

32
00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:49,020
I just have to make sure that I get them back

33
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:50,340
to where they came from.

34
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:52,540
So you guys have drinks and you rest.

35
00:01:52,540 --> 00:01:56,560
The next day you are called upon by Leosin

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,660
and he leads you to where the council

37
00:01:59,660 --> 00:02:02,460
is having their meeting and he opens the door

38
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:05,420
and you see the entire council chamber

39
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:07,940
barking and yelling at each other.

40
00:02:07,940 --> 00:02:10,219
It's mayhem and chaos.

41
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:14,219
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

42
00:02:14,219 --> 00:02:17,300
We are a D&D fifth edition actual play podcast.

43
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,180
I am your dungeon master, Russ More

44
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,259
and with me today is Tom Laird.

45
00:02:21,419 --> 00:02:23,459
Whoa, surprise order, that's me.

46
00:02:23,459 --> 00:02:24,979
I play FlinkFirebeard.

47
00:02:24,979 --> 00:02:26,579
And Carla Johnson.

48
00:02:26,579 --> 00:02:27,579
Hey, how's it going?

49
00:02:27,579 --> 00:02:29,099
I play new Laura Moonbrook.

50
00:02:29,099 --> 00:02:30,539
And Amy More.

51
00:02:30,539 --> 00:02:31,419
Yes, I am.

52
00:02:31,419 --> 00:02:33,340
I play Thea Amastasia.

53
00:02:33,340 --> 00:02:34,459
Welcome, everybody.

54
00:02:34,459 --> 00:02:36,259
Thanks for having us, Russ.

55
00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:37,939
Thanks for being on the show.

56
00:02:37,939 --> 00:02:39,180
Happy to be here.

57
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:41,259
Thanks for picking up that Skype call.

58
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:43,500
I really appreciate it.

59
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:45,219
Even though it's Tom's birthday,

60
00:02:45,219 --> 00:02:50,219
wish everybody Tom, wish everybody Tom birthday.

61
00:02:50,699 --> 00:02:52,939
I would like to wish all the listeners.

62
00:02:52,939 --> 00:02:54,539
Everybody birthday happy.

63
00:02:54,539 --> 00:02:56,900
Hashtag wish everybody a Tom birthday.

64
00:02:58,219 --> 00:02:59,219
Happy birthday, Tom.

65
00:02:59,219 --> 00:03:00,060
Happy birthday.

66
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:01,060
Happy birthday, Tom.

67
00:03:01,060 --> 00:03:04,500
Way to celebrate it with our 30th episode.

68
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:05,659
Yeah.

69
00:03:05,659 --> 00:03:08,219
Tom, you're turning 30, right?

70
00:03:08,219 --> 00:03:10,180
Sure, we'll go with that.

71
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:11,900
I'm sure there's a three in it.

72
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:13,460
It does start with a three.

73
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:14,300
There you go.

74
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:15,139
Nailed it.

75
00:03:15,139 --> 00:03:17,180
Yeah, well then we're good, solid.

76
00:03:17,219 --> 00:03:20,260
So Patreon, you get an episode dedicated to you.

77
00:03:20,260 --> 00:03:25,260
Like today, our episode dedication is to Gabriel Lynch.

78
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:26,420
Hey, Gabe.

79
00:03:26,420 --> 00:03:27,260
Thank you, Gabriel.

80
00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:28,500
Thank you, Gabriel.

81
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,340
Thanks, Gabriel.

82
00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:30,900
For supporting the podcast.

83
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:32,060
We really appreciate you,

84
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:35,379
as well as all the other amazing people out there.

85
00:03:35,379 --> 00:03:36,219
All right, fuck it.

86
00:03:36,219 --> 00:03:37,060
Let's play D&D.

87
00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:40,900
He's second week in a row.

88
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:42,100
He is feisty.

89
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:42,939
That's it now.

90
00:03:42,939 --> 00:03:44,460
That is how we start a game.

91
00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:45,659
I like it.

92
00:03:45,659 --> 00:03:46,500
It's aggressive.

93
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:48,979
It's final.

94
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:50,180
We're not fucking around anymore.

95
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:51,620
No more Chitter-Chatter.

96
00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:55,460
Except now we're gonna get into all the Chitter-Chatter.

97
00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:57,699
Welcome to the council session

98
00:03:57,699 --> 00:03:59,780
where we talk for two hours.

99
00:03:59,780 --> 00:04:00,699
Oh, shit.

100
00:04:00,699 --> 00:04:03,020
I just heard everyone turn off the podcast

101
00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:03,860
simultaneously.

102
00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:04,699
Oh, come on.

103
00:04:04,699 --> 00:04:06,939
This is gonna be much better than episode two.

104
00:04:06,939 --> 00:04:08,699
Yep, they've already swiped left

105
00:04:08,699 --> 00:04:10,900
and that little delete option

106
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:11,740
is just hovering right there.

107
00:04:11,740 --> 00:04:12,780
Tune in to the very end

108
00:04:12,780 --> 00:04:15,180
when we all compliment each other a whole lot.

109
00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:18,620
I'm gonna listen to it at the very end, though.

110
00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:20,459
None of this skipping through stuff.

111
00:04:20,459 --> 00:04:21,300
Yeah.

112
00:04:22,819 --> 00:04:24,180
There will be a quiz.

113
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:25,340
There will be a quiz.

114
00:04:27,019 --> 00:04:29,500
You enter the council chamber

115
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:32,139
and unlike the last time you were here

116
00:04:32,139 --> 00:04:35,540
where there was quiet and order,

117
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:38,740
the entire room seems to be erupting

118
00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:40,740
in argument and chaos.

119
00:04:41,899 --> 00:04:44,579
You hear much heated discussion

120
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:46,899
about the death or suicide

121
00:04:46,899 --> 00:04:49,060
of an aide from Neverwinter

122
00:04:49,060 --> 00:04:50,659
who, Leosin mentioned,

123
00:04:50,659 --> 00:04:53,620
had been reported as having hanged himself.

124
00:04:55,099 --> 00:04:56,979
You see and hear an argument

125
00:04:56,979 --> 00:05:00,579
between who you remember as Delaine Winterhound

126
00:05:00,579 --> 00:05:02,299
of the Emerald Enclave

127
00:05:02,299 --> 00:05:04,259
and King Melandrech,

128
00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:06,779
the Elven King of the Misty Forest,

129
00:05:06,779 --> 00:05:10,299
who is waving off concerns from Delaine

130
00:05:10,299 --> 00:05:12,659
about dragon attacks in the Misty Forest

131
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:14,860
saying the elves have increased their patrols

132
00:05:14,860 --> 00:05:16,820
and fortified their positions.

133
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:19,300
During all of this,

134
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,540
you see Lady Leral Silverhand

135
00:05:22,540 --> 00:05:24,100
quietly observing the room

136
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:25,860
from the head of the council table.

137
00:05:27,220 --> 00:05:28,980
And then from behind you,

138
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:31,580
you hear the heavyset footsteps

139
00:05:31,580 --> 00:05:33,260
of Lord Dagult Neverember

140
00:05:33,260 --> 00:05:35,140
as he strides past you

141
00:05:35,140 --> 00:05:37,660
in followed by a human woman

142
00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:40,940
who is very well dressed in silver robes.

143
00:05:41,899 --> 00:05:43,699
You feel drawn to her presence

144
00:05:43,699 --> 00:05:46,740
even more than the regal Lord Neverember,

145
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:48,339
but you do not recognize her

146
00:05:48,339 --> 00:05:50,100
from the previous council session.

147
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:54,220
Lord Neverember sits at Lady Silverhand's right

148
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:56,620
and the woman following him sits beside him.

149
00:05:57,740 --> 00:05:58,939
You enter the room further

150
00:05:58,939 --> 00:06:01,100
and catch the eye of Lady Silverhand

151
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:03,860
who calmly says above no more

152
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:06,740
than a quiet conversation level,

153
00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:09,459
council is in session.

154
00:06:09,459 --> 00:06:10,379
Be seated.

155
00:06:11,740 --> 00:06:14,219
Everyone quiets in the room

156
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:16,459
and goes to their seat.

157
00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:18,860
There are four open seats

158
00:06:18,860 --> 00:06:22,060
between Delaine Winterhound and Anthar Froome

159
00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:24,220
who sees you hesitating by the door

160
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:25,939
and calls you over.

161
00:06:25,939 --> 00:06:28,180
Come on now, you're as much a part of this as any of us.

162
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:29,579
Sit down and let's begin.

163
00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:31,540
Yes, sir.

164
00:06:31,540 --> 00:06:35,379
I stride over and I take a seat beside Anthar.

165
00:06:35,379 --> 00:06:37,019
Yeah, of course, yeah, I just go sit down.

166
00:06:37,019 --> 00:06:39,420
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just go and sit down.

167
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:40,259
Frances says,

168
00:06:40,259 --> 00:06:42,780
so, okay, yeah, let's go sit down there, okay, yeah.

169
00:06:42,780 --> 00:06:43,620
Oh boy.

170
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:44,460
I thought we ditched him.

171
00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:45,300
I looked behind me and I was like,

172
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:47,220
have you been here the whole time?

173
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:49,460
Frances is still with you.

174
00:06:49,460 --> 00:06:51,100
So tired all of a sudden.

175
00:06:52,420 --> 00:06:53,819
Frances pulls up a chair

176
00:06:53,819 --> 00:06:56,500
and scoots really close to Nulara

177
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:00,900
and says, oh, what do you think is gonna go on here?

178
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:05,740
Shh, just be quiet, please.

179
00:07:05,740 --> 00:07:09,500
Everybody kind of, oh, yeah, okay.

180
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:10,740
It's been a while since I've been one of these.

181
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:12,620
I just don't remember how it goes.

182
00:07:12,620 --> 00:07:15,900
Everybody kind of looks over in his general direction.

183
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:17,300
He's like, okay, sorry, yep.

184
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:21,340
As everybody's seated and settles in,

185
00:07:21,340 --> 00:07:23,420
Lady Silverhand says,

186
00:07:24,340 --> 00:07:28,139
ladies and gentlemen, we have much to discuss

187
00:07:28,139 --> 00:07:31,220
and not much time to discuss it, unfortunately.

188
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:34,740
Our goal here today is to learn what we can

189
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:37,460
from our deputized investigators,

190
00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:39,819
what they have learned and gained.

191
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:45,060
Second is to hear what is occurring in our various regions

192
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:49,180
and determine the correct course of action moving forward.

193
00:07:50,060 --> 00:07:53,100
Flint, Thea, Nulara and Grancis,

194
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:56,819
what can you tell the council of your findings?

195
00:07:56,819 --> 00:08:00,060
Oh, wow, Grancis is a part, he's, we are.

196
00:08:00,060 --> 00:08:01,900
He has been assigned to you.

197
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:03,060
We are.

198
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:05,420
No one else wanted him.

199
00:08:05,420 --> 00:08:06,740
I'm part of the team.

200
00:08:08,579 --> 00:08:10,300
Oh, nobody's gonna jump in, I'll jump in.

201
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:11,660
What do you got?

202
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,819
Thea tries to just squash the feeling

203
00:08:13,819 --> 00:08:18,340
of like really being trapped, like shackled to this man.

204
00:08:20,699 --> 00:08:22,860
I'm really torn between just letting him talk

205
00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:25,340
because I kind of want that to happen.

206
00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:26,180
Yeah, me too.

207
00:08:27,939 --> 00:08:31,340
Yeah, I say, I'm sorry, can you repeat the question?

208
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:33,100
I completely blacked out after the part

209
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:34,379
that you said that we're all together.

210
00:08:34,379 --> 00:08:36,860
Since the last council meeting,

211
00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:39,420
tell us of your findings.

212
00:08:39,420 --> 00:08:42,820
Tell us of what you have found, your adventures

213
00:08:42,820 --> 00:08:45,100
and where you come today.

214
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:46,780
It has taken you a little bit longer

215
00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:48,660
than we had anticipated.

216
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:50,460
So something must have gone on.

217
00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:55,139
Shit, he's making us recap, bitches.

218
00:08:55,139 --> 00:08:58,340
It's the beginning of the year in episode 30.

219
00:08:58,340 --> 00:08:59,580
God damn it.

220
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:00,820
And there's a song.

221
00:09:01,820 --> 00:09:04,340
Let's start at the end.

222
00:09:04,340 --> 00:09:06,580
We captured Ver'Am the White

223
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:08,340
and we've brought him here to you.

224
00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:12,100
Oh, we're Quentin Tarantino-ing this bitch, I get it.

225
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:15,860
Who's Quentin Tarantino?

226
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:17,940
He works down the street.

227
00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:20,180
He starts at the end of his stories all the time

228
00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:21,620
and works backwards.

229
00:09:21,620 --> 00:09:22,820
Interesting.

230
00:09:22,820 --> 00:09:25,100
Yes, Ver'Am, he has been in interrogation

231
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:28,460
and he has told us some surprising things

232
00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:29,780
about the cult.

233
00:09:29,780 --> 00:09:33,100
How much do you believe what he says?

234
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:34,660
What did he say?

235
00:09:34,660 --> 00:09:38,740
We really didn't get a chance to thoroughly talk with him

236
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:40,700
as we brought him straight to you.

237
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:43,620
He told us that you had a thorough conversation

238
00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:46,940
about the goings on of the locations

239
00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:48,660
of the Cult of the Dragon

240
00:09:48,660 --> 00:09:52,420
and various people who may be swayed to our cause.

241
00:09:52,420 --> 00:09:53,660
They have the Drakorn.

242
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:55,180
Remember, that's why we left,

243
00:09:55,220 --> 00:10:00,220
originally was to go searching to see about that.

244
00:10:00,220 --> 00:10:01,660
Yes.

245
00:10:01,660 --> 00:10:02,940
They got it.

246
00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:03,980
They wanna use it.

247
00:10:03,980 --> 00:10:08,180
So no surprise there,

248
00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:11,700
I guess, just confirming what we all suspected.

249
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,380
The wizards of Fae are going to cast a spell

250
00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:18,020
that we'll call Tiamat.

251
00:10:18,020 --> 00:10:21,420
There are people within their organization

252
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:23,020
who can be swayed.

253
00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:27,779
They are, I have a list of things here.

254
00:10:27,779 --> 00:10:30,819
They are in Xanthal's Tower,

255
00:10:32,139 --> 00:10:36,460
Nargoth, Bladelord, Jorgen Paul, Iskander.

256
00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:37,579
These sound like people

257
00:10:37,579 --> 00:10:39,340
I've definitely heard of before.

258
00:10:39,340 --> 00:10:42,980
And who are these people

259
00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:46,340
in relation to how the cult is run?

260
00:10:46,340 --> 00:10:47,539
These are groups that are helping

261
00:10:47,539 --> 00:10:49,139
the Cult of the Dragon, I believe.

262
00:10:49,299 --> 00:10:53,699
I believe Bladelord fears that Severin

263
00:10:53,699 --> 00:10:55,059
will succeed in his plan

264
00:10:55,059 --> 00:10:56,980
and Tiamat will end up destroying the cult.

265
00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:59,019
And so he definitely doesn't want that.

266
00:10:59,019 --> 00:11:04,019
He could be convinced to work on our side.

267
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:06,460
He wants to bring back the,

268
00:11:06,460 --> 00:11:08,299
this is what it looks like my notes say,

269
00:11:08,299 --> 00:11:12,179
Draco Bitches, but I bet it says Draco Liches.

270
00:11:12,179 --> 00:11:14,939
Probably liches, not bitches.

271
00:11:14,939 --> 00:11:16,220
Is that Jorgen?

272
00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:18,139
That is Nargoth.

273
00:11:18,139 --> 00:11:19,460
Yes, the Draco Bitches.

274
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:22,500
I haven't heard of them, but the Draco Liches, yes.

275
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:23,699
Then I wrote some hippogriffs

276
00:11:23,699 --> 00:11:25,899
and that was the most exciting thing that happened.

277
00:11:25,899 --> 00:11:28,340
So I have no further memories.

278
00:11:28,340 --> 00:11:30,419
Oh, that was the big Harry Potter episode.

279
00:11:30,419 --> 00:11:31,259
I remember that one.

280
00:11:31,259 --> 00:11:33,179
We hear that you have swayed

281
00:11:33,179 --> 00:11:36,819
the Arcane Brotherhood to our cause.

282
00:11:36,819 --> 00:11:39,539
I didn't really think it took much swaying.

283
00:11:39,539 --> 00:11:41,539
Yeah, they're on board for helping.

284
00:11:41,539 --> 00:11:43,139
They are a great asset.

285
00:11:43,139 --> 00:11:47,299
How did you go about bringing them onto our side?

286
00:11:48,260 --> 00:11:52,940
We returned Macoth from her icy prison

287
00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:56,660
and they seemed pretty amiable after that.

288
00:11:56,660 --> 00:11:59,540
Icy prison, where was she being held?

289
00:11:59,540 --> 00:12:02,980
She was the prisoner of the ice dragon,

290
00:12:02,980 --> 00:12:04,340
whose name is?

291
00:12:04,340 --> 00:12:06,260
Aruthator. Aruthator.

292
00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:09,060
There it is. Or agruthator.

293
00:12:09,060 --> 00:12:10,620
Yeah. Or,

294
00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:13,020
all variations of those words.

295
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:14,460
Yes. Of course, of course.

296
00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:16,180
And what of Aruthator?

297
00:12:17,540 --> 00:12:21,020
As he is known to have dealt with the cult of the dragon.

298
00:12:21,020 --> 00:12:24,180
Yes, he's the one who sold them the Dracorn.

299
00:12:24,180 --> 00:12:25,260
Interesting.

300
00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:30,260
And he is studying magical tomes, right?

301
00:12:30,940 --> 00:12:31,780
To become-

302
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:33,140
He's wanting, yeah,

303
00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:38,140
he's wanting to procure his own magic and spells.

304
00:12:38,780 --> 00:12:41,980
And so Macoth was there helping,

305
00:12:41,980 --> 00:12:44,060
translating with all the books

306
00:12:44,060 --> 00:12:46,060
from the Arcane Brotherhood.

307
00:12:46,060 --> 00:12:48,780
You see Heads nod around the room

308
00:12:48,780 --> 00:12:52,260
and to your left, Anthar kind of grunts,

309
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:55,780
and he's like, you know, the Arcane Brotherhood,

310
00:12:55,780 --> 00:12:57,300
I seem to be the only one here

311
00:12:57,300 --> 00:12:59,020
who doesn't think this is a good idea,

312
00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:01,220
but they've been known to harbor some evil,

313
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:02,820
evil wizard types.

314
00:13:04,140 --> 00:13:09,140
Oh, oh, oh, what's that damn elf wizard bitch's name?

315
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:11,540
Is that-

316
00:13:11,540 --> 00:13:13,940
Primsbane. Primsbane?

317
00:13:13,940 --> 00:13:15,780
Oh, fucker.

318
00:13:15,779 --> 00:13:16,939
Was he part of the-

319
00:13:17,899 --> 00:13:18,819
You don't know.

320
00:13:18,819 --> 00:13:20,459
Oh, well, I will ask.

321
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,819
Does the name Thelonious Primsbane

322
00:13:23,819 --> 00:13:25,980
mean anything to any of you?

323
00:13:25,980 --> 00:13:29,779
You see a look of not much recollection

324
00:13:29,779 --> 00:13:31,259
among anybody in the room.

325
00:13:31,259 --> 00:13:33,819
Well, he's like a little bit of a loose end.

326
00:13:33,819 --> 00:13:38,819
He kind of, he's kind of after us a little bit.

327
00:13:39,579 --> 00:13:41,939
I just want to go full disclosure here.

328
00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:45,420
I look over to Flynn Newar

329
00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:46,940
just to get like the, like,

330
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:51,660
Lady Silverhand says,

331
00:13:51,660 --> 00:13:54,380
is it something of urgent concern

332
00:13:54,380 --> 00:13:56,460
that we should look into?

333
00:13:56,460 --> 00:13:57,300
I don't know,

334
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:58,660
but he seems like the kind of guy

335
00:13:58,660 --> 00:14:01,740
who could just like pop up at any moment, you know?

336
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:03,260
Hmm, interesting.

337
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:06,300
It's kind of like a side plot bad guy.

338
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:08,980
Oh, was he a side plot bad guy?

339
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:12,899
No one knows exactly when those characters pop up.

340
00:14:12,899 --> 00:14:16,460
Okay, well, we weren't able to defeat him,

341
00:14:16,460 --> 00:14:19,259
which is really a thorn in my paw,

342
00:14:20,779 --> 00:14:24,259
but I can't remember where I was going with this.

343
00:14:24,259 --> 00:14:26,259
I seem to be the only one who doesn't like this,

344
00:14:26,259 --> 00:14:29,139
so I'll just keep quiet over here.

345
00:14:29,139 --> 00:14:30,460
Okay, good, good.

346
00:14:30,460 --> 00:14:31,300
Looks to you, he's like,

347
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:32,539
I still don't like you.

348
00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:33,899
I pat his thigh.

349
00:14:35,740 --> 00:14:36,620
Inner thigh.

350
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:39,379
Oh my goodness.

351
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:40,940
He gives you a wink and a nod.

352
00:14:40,940 --> 00:14:43,820
Oh, what about the thumbs up?

353
00:14:43,820 --> 00:14:44,659
No thumbs up.

354
00:14:44,659 --> 00:14:47,539
Oh, okay, I haven't quite reached thumbs up status yet.

355
00:14:47,539 --> 00:14:48,379
Yeah.

356
00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:50,820
You know, he's a human.

357
00:14:50,820 --> 00:14:52,100
It's a dwarf thing, obviously.

358
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:53,659
Oh, fair enough.

359
00:14:53,659 --> 00:14:54,500
I'm confused.

360
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:55,940
I've been flirting with so many different characters.

361
00:14:55,940 --> 00:14:56,779
Sure, yeah.

362
00:14:56,779 --> 00:14:58,379
It's just, it's kind of been.

363
00:14:58,379 --> 00:15:01,539
So, sorry, Ruthatar was killed?

364
00:15:01,539 --> 00:15:05,340
No, we fought him, but he managed to get away.

365
00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:06,780
Wounded severely.

366
00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:09,860
Well, that is something.

367
00:15:09,860 --> 00:15:13,980
It takes dragons quite a while to recuperate.

368
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:17,220
So, maybe he will be out of the fight

369
00:15:17,220 --> 00:15:20,379
for long enough to help us.

370
00:15:20,379 --> 00:15:25,379
So, the Arcane Brotherhood is working with us.

371
00:15:26,019 --> 00:15:31,019
You mentioned there's a rogue wizard and Varam.

372
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:34,900
Where did you find Varam and?

373
00:15:34,899 --> 00:15:39,899
Varam had lost his mask, and he was.

374
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:42,659
His white dragon mask.

375
00:15:42,659 --> 00:15:47,059
And he was trying to find it, and we found him first.

376
00:15:47,059 --> 00:15:51,299
Did you procure ways of obtaining his mask?

377
00:15:52,179 --> 00:15:55,259
No, it's back in possession of the cult.

378
00:15:57,860 --> 00:16:00,500
So, that is why he is helping us, I take it.

379
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:03,539
Yeah, he's dead if he goes back to them, so.

380
00:16:03,579 --> 00:16:05,099
Oh, hey, here's a fun fact.

381
00:16:05,939 --> 00:16:08,059
This is how I talk in council meetings.

382
00:16:08,059 --> 00:16:08,899
Hey, fun fact.

383
00:16:10,259 --> 00:16:12,819
Time for one of your Lara's patented fun facts.

384
00:16:12,819 --> 00:16:15,860
Yeah, quick sound a little bitchier about it.

385
00:16:15,860 --> 00:16:16,980
Yeah, totally.

386
00:16:18,379 --> 00:16:22,059
The cult has all of the things they've been collecting,

387
00:16:22,059 --> 00:16:26,579
all the treasures in the Well of the Dragon?

388
00:16:26,579 --> 00:16:30,980
Nope, it's an extinct volcano, like real super villains.

389
00:16:30,980 --> 00:16:32,699
That's right, the Well of the Dragons.

390
00:16:33,540 --> 00:16:37,140
Did you get, obviously Varam has given this information,

391
00:16:37,140 --> 00:16:41,700
but for the council, did you get the location of this?

392
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:44,700
The northern end of the Sunset Mountains.

393
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:47,140
And that is where they are held up.

394
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:49,740
Did you get any further information from Varam

395
00:16:49,740 --> 00:16:54,740
as to how close they might be to actually bringing Tiamat?

396
00:16:56,180 --> 00:16:58,379
He thinks they're pretty close.

397
00:16:58,419 --> 00:17:03,419
I am wary to send troops there as of yet.

398
00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:07,339
I feel we have more information to gain

399
00:17:07,339 --> 00:17:09,180
before moving forward.

400
00:17:10,140 --> 00:17:14,940
I myself have been to battle and lost many, many an ally,

401
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:18,980
and I don't wish that upon anybody as of right now.

402
00:17:20,140 --> 00:17:23,019
Delaine Winterhound speaks up.

403
00:17:23,019 --> 00:17:26,740
So about the dwarf, you brought him here.

404
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:32,460
He's been known to upset the natural order of things before,

405
00:17:32,460 --> 00:17:34,339
and I feel like holding him here,

406
00:17:34,339 --> 00:17:38,380
we might be asking for more trouble than what it's worth.

407
00:17:38,380 --> 00:17:39,460
Is there anything that we should,

408
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:41,819
now that we've kind of got the information out of him,

409
00:17:41,819 --> 00:17:44,819
is there, like, do we wanna just offer him up

410
00:17:44,819 --> 00:17:47,779
to get him out of here, or do we wanna?

411
00:17:48,620 --> 00:17:50,059
He could potentially be leverage,

412
00:17:50,059 --> 00:17:52,539
why would we just give him up?

413
00:17:52,539 --> 00:17:54,180
Well, it seems like if they're-

414
00:17:54,299 --> 00:17:55,620
No, no, no.

415
00:17:55,620 --> 00:17:56,820
That was a stupid idea.

416
00:17:56,820 --> 00:17:58,140
No more talking from you.

417
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:01,060
I see how it is.

418
00:18:02,380 --> 00:18:04,100
Fucking shut down.

419
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:04,940
Right?

420
00:18:04,940 --> 00:18:08,259
Why don't we take him for a reconnaissance mission?

421
00:18:08,259 --> 00:18:10,980
He'll be able to show us exactly where to go,

422
00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:16,740
potentially help mitigate pitfalls,

423
00:18:16,740 --> 00:18:18,860
and at the very least,

424
00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:21,140
offer him up as bait or distraction.

425
00:18:21,140 --> 00:18:23,140
You don't think he could double cross you

426
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:26,460
and send you to the wolves, so to speak?

427
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:28,259
You don't think that I could turn into a wolf

428
00:18:28,259 --> 00:18:31,100
and just tear him from limb to limb?

429
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:32,540
She raises a good point.

430
00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:34,620
I like you.

431
00:18:34,620 --> 00:18:35,460
You're good.

432
00:18:36,380 --> 00:18:37,220
All right.

433
00:18:37,980 --> 00:18:39,580
So you wanna go on a reconnaissance mission,

434
00:18:39,580 --> 00:18:40,420
is that what you're saying?

435
00:18:40,420 --> 00:18:41,780
Where are you going on a reconnaissance mission?

436
00:18:41,780 --> 00:18:44,220
Well, Silver Lady just kinda made it seem like

437
00:18:44,220 --> 00:18:46,860
things weren't ready and we needed more information.

438
00:18:46,860 --> 00:18:48,300
I was reading between the lines,

439
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:49,500
I see what she's saying.

440
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:50,340
Fair enough.

441
00:18:50,339 --> 00:18:53,899
Lady Silverhand says, you have gained much.

442
00:18:53,899 --> 00:18:56,220
Is there anybody else that you swayed to our side

443
00:18:56,220 --> 00:18:57,179
while you were out there?

444
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:58,699
Well, we saved Mirabar.

445
00:18:58,699 --> 00:19:00,099
We saved Little Rock.

446
00:19:00,099 --> 00:19:01,259
We saved...

447
00:19:02,259 --> 00:19:05,459
Oh, what about the Army of Mirabar?

448
00:19:05,459 --> 00:19:07,179
Axe of Mirabar.

449
00:19:07,179 --> 00:19:08,419
The Axe of Mirabar.

450
00:19:08,419 --> 00:19:11,299
The Axe of Mirabar has been reluctant

451
00:19:11,299 --> 00:19:12,740
to join the council,

452
00:19:12,740 --> 00:19:15,779
but they are an astounding force

453
00:19:15,779 --> 00:19:17,059
that if they are on our side,

454
00:19:17,059 --> 00:19:20,059
then that is another plus in our column.

455
00:19:20,099 --> 00:19:23,339
Well, they're about as half as outstanding

456
00:19:23,339 --> 00:19:24,700
as they were before.

457
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:25,899
How so?

458
00:19:25,899 --> 00:19:29,059
Well, remember that Primsbane guy we were mentioning?

459
00:19:29,059 --> 00:19:30,980
He kinda did a number on their army.

460
00:19:30,980 --> 00:19:31,819
Oh.

461
00:19:32,819 --> 00:19:33,659
Well.

462
00:19:33,659 --> 00:19:34,500
But they still have a lot of troops,

463
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:35,779
so that's good.

464
00:19:35,779 --> 00:19:37,059
That is good.

465
00:19:37,059 --> 00:19:38,659
And babies are born every day.

466
00:19:39,859 --> 00:19:41,259
This is true.

467
00:19:41,259 --> 00:19:42,980
Takes a while for dwarves to age,

468
00:19:42,980 --> 00:19:44,700
but that is okay.

469
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:46,220
The more numbers we have,

470
00:19:46,220 --> 00:19:48,539
the better, is what I say.

471
00:19:48,539 --> 00:19:50,019
We'll suit up every baby.

472
00:19:51,420 --> 00:19:53,500
It'll be an adorable army.

473
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:54,339
Not effective.

474
00:19:54,339 --> 00:19:56,460
This baby dwarf army sounds pretty awesome.

475
00:19:56,460 --> 00:19:57,659
Very cute.

476
00:19:57,659 --> 00:19:58,500
Very cute.

477
00:19:58,500 --> 00:19:59,859
They'll only be as high as your knees,

478
00:19:59,859 --> 00:20:01,579
but they will be vicious.

479
00:20:01,579 --> 00:20:04,619
Last time we were talking to this council,

480
00:20:04,619 --> 00:20:08,500
we were supposed to find Macoth.

481
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:09,339
Did it?

482
00:20:09,339 --> 00:20:10,659
You're welcome.

483
00:20:10,659 --> 00:20:12,980
We were supposed to find Varam the White.

484
00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:13,819
Did it?

485
00:20:14,659 --> 00:20:16,139
We freed Little Rock.

486
00:20:16,139 --> 00:20:17,460
I'm looking at my list, you guys,

487
00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:19,059
of things from one year ago

488
00:20:19,059 --> 00:20:20,860
that we were supposed to accomplish.

489
00:20:20,860 --> 00:20:22,779
Very exciting.

490
00:20:22,779 --> 00:20:25,539
And then the other thing is

491
00:20:25,539 --> 00:20:28,500
that the worm-speaker Nereveen

492
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,779
is in a misty forest stronghold.

493
00:20:31,779 --> 00:20:33,059
We ever track that guy down?

494
00:20:33,059 --> 00:20:34,500
Maybe we should do that.

495
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:36,059
King Melandrich says,

496
00:20:36,059 --> 00:20:38,620
what was that name?

497
00:20:39,539 --> 00:20:40,700
God.

498
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:41,660
Worm-speaker?

499
00:20:41,660 --> 00:20:42,660
Nerenveen.

500
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:45,059
Nerenveen.

501
00:20:45,059 --> 00:20:46,180
It's not possible.

502
00:20:47,180 --> 00:20:49,100
Well, it's on our to-do list.

503
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,019
It's in the other info section.

504
00:20:53,019 --> 00:20:55,140
Flips the page.

505
00:20:55,140 --> 00:20:56,900
It's down in a footnote.

506
00:20:56,900 --> 00:20:58,580
He says,

507
00:20:58,580 --> 00:21:03,580
no, Nerenveen is my son.

508
00:21:05,860 --> 00:21:10,860
And he's been lost for many, many years now.

509
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:12,380
We find things.

510
00:21:12,380 --> 00:21:13,620
We're the finders.

511
00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:15,140
That's pretty good.

512
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:16,860
I mean, it's better than what we currently have,

513
00:21:16,860 --> 00:21:18,259
which is nothing.

514
00:21:18,259 --> 00:21:20,420
Delayne speaks up and he says,

515
00:21:21,420 --> 00:21:25,300
you said the misty forest is where this Nerenveen is.

516
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:27,420
That's where he was last seen, yep.

517
00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:31,259
As I've been trying to tell King Melandrich here,

518
00:21:31,259 --> 00:21:32,620
he says, oh, fuck off.

519
00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:37,980
Anyway, I have

520
00:21:39,259 --> 00:21:42,620
heard and have been getting reports

521
00:21:42,660 --> 00:21:45,380
that there have been many recent dragon attacks

522
00:21:45,380 --> 00:21:47,820
in the misty forest.

523
00:21:47,820 --> 00:21:50,940
This could be connected to what you have found,

524
00:21:50,940 --> 00:21:52,500
might not be,

525
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:57,180
but if this Nerenveen, son of King Melandrich,

526
00:21:57,180 --> 00:21:58,140
fuck you.

527
00:22:00,140 --> 00:22:02,860
Maybe he's working for the cult now.

528
00:22:02,860 --> 00:22:04,900
That's fucking impossible.

529
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:08,940
King Melandrich tells me that it has been taken care of.

530
00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:11,460
The elves have increased their patrols

531
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:13,340
and fortified their positions,

532
00:22:13,340 --> 00:22:16,019
but as I asked him,

533
00:22:16,019 --> 00:22:20,740
he has not heard from his patrols in quite a while.

534
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:24,420
I'm sorry, can King Melandrich speak for himself?

535
00:22:25,740 --> 00:22:27,539
I don't wish to, my dear.

536
00:22:27,539 --> 00:22:29,860
Oh, this man speaks for you?

537
00:22:29,860 --> 00:22:32,259
This man is a fucking idiot.

538
00:22:33,140 --> 00:22:35,620
Do you want us to find your son or not?

539
00:22:36,579 --> 00:22:38,579
If it is my son, he's...

540
00:22:39,179 --> 00:22:42,019
Do you believe your son is working

541
00:22:42,019 --> 00:22:43,139
for the cult of the dragon?

542
00:22:43,139 --> 00:22:44,740
That's not possible.

543
00:22:44,740 --> 00:22:45,859
Why? That's not possible.

544
00:22:45,859 --> 00:22:47,259
That's not how I raised him.

545
00:22:47,259 --> 00:22:49,539
Oh, doesn't count.

546
00:22:49,539 --> 00:22:52,619
Anyways, with all due respect here,

547
00:22:52,619 --> 00:22:56,259
he hasn't heard from his outposts in quite a while,

548
00:22:56,259 --> 00:22:58,220
which means that these dragon attacks

549
00:22:58,220 --> 00:23:02,779
could have taken out large elven villages.

550
00:23:02,779 --> 00:23:06,139
He himself hasn't been back there in a while.

551
00:23:06,139 --> 00:23:08,220
Oh, Thea doesn't feel good about this.

552
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:10,579
She's all like, my people.

553
00:23:10,579 --> 00:23:11,620
Delaine says,

554
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:12,500
But with more emotion.

555
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:15,539
I'm willing to lead a team there.

556
00:23:15,539 --> 00:23:16,779
I know the area.

557
00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:22,660
I just need support in case his reports aren't true.

558
00:23:23,339 --> 00:23:27,460
I kind of like, like a group huddle.

559
00:23:27,460 --> 00:23:29,100
Come here, come here.

560
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:30,980
And then we whisper loudly and like,

561
00:23:30,980 --> 00:23:33,980
shh, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha.

562
00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:36,460
And then we say, we'll do it.

563
00:23:36,460 --> 00:23:38,900
I don't know, I'm speaking for everybody.

564
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:40,620
Of course we'll do it, right?

565
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,900
Oh yeah, we got this.

566
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:44,819
This is what we do.

567
00:23:44,819 --> 00:23:46,380
We're trying to find the people

568
00:23:46,380 --> 00:23:47,740
running the cult of the dragon.

569
00:23:47,740 --> 00:23:49,380
And if that's our next clue

570
00:23:49,380 --> 00:23:51,579
as to where one is going to be,

571
00:23:51,579 --> 00:23:52,539
we may as well go.

572
00:23:52,539 --> 00:23:55,019
Maybe we can save some lives while we're there.

573
00:23:55,019 --> 00:23:58,059
Maybe we can kill a dragon while we're there.

574
00:23:58,059 --> 00:23:59,579
Ooh, that excites Thea.

575
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:01,940
Lady Silverhand says,

576
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:05,059
Well, add it to your quest log.

577
00:24:05,099 --> 00:24:07,899
Because this is, this is happening now.

578
00:24:07,899 --> 00:24:11,500
Delaine Winterhound will lead a team

579
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:15,980
of you investigators to the Misty Forest,

580
00:24:15,980 --> 00:24:19,379
where hopefully King MAlydindrich is true

581
00:24:19,379 --> 00:24:23,700
in that his cities are fine and everything is good.

582
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:27,740
If not, you may find the next step we are looking for.

583
00:24:28,740 --> 00:24:30,539
Granthas should stay here, I think.

584
00:24:30,539 --> 00:24:33,179
What the fuck, we got the airship.

585
00:24:33,179 --> 00:24:34,220
He does have the airship.

586
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,980
I can get us there, look at his flip.

587
00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:39,660
Yeah, let's not, let's not spend like,

588
00:24:39,660 --> 00:24:41,140
like three months traveling.

589
00:24:41,140 --> 00:24:42,259
I spoke in haste.

590
00:24:42,259 --> 00:24:43,460
We'll take the airship.

591
00:24:43,460 --> 00:24:45,740
He can stay on the airship.

592
00:24:45,740 --> 00:24:46,980
He probably should.

593
00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:48,220
Perfect.

594
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:51,180
We're also whispering in front of Granthas.

595
00:24:51,180 --> 00:24:52,019
Definitely.

596
00:24:52,019 --> 00:24:53,500
I can hear you, you know?

597
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:55,380
I mean, I gotta make, okay, I'll go.

598
00:24:55,380 --> 00:24:59,259
What'll happen is I'll drop you in the Misty Forest.

599
00:24:59,259 --> 00:25:01,660
I gotta go make a swing by some frog places

600
00:25:01,660 --> 00:25:03,100
with an old buddy of mine.

601
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:05,380
We'll get to that later.

602
00:25:06,340 --> 00:25:08,140
But yeah, it'll be fine.

603
00:25:08,140 --> 00:25:10,300
You guys do what you gotta do

604
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:11,620
and then I'll come back and swing,

605
00:25:11,620 --> 00:25:12,860
pick you up, lickety split.

606
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:14,660
We'll be back here, Bob's your uncle.

607
00:25:14,660 --> 00:25:18,700
I put a finger to his lips and I go, shh, shh, shh.

608
00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:21,100
We will go to the Misty Forest.

609
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:23,780
Lady Silverhand says, wonderful.

610
00:25:25,540 --> 00:25:27,380
Well, it seems we have determined our next step.

611
00:25:27,380 --> 00:25:31,420
Lord Neverember had one more piece

612
00:25:31,460 --> 00:25:33,700
that we needed to discuss before we go.

613
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:37,100
Lord Neverember stands up and says,

614
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:38,740
thank you, Lady Silverhand.

615
00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:41,460
I've been approached by

616
00:25:41,460 --> 00:25:45,620
and sent a representative from the Metallic Dragons.

617
00:25:45,620 --> 00:25:47,660
This is Elia.

618
00:25:47,660 --> 00:25:50,660
Elia, please inform the council

619
00:25:50,660 --> 00:25:53,500
of the Metallic Dragons' request.

620
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:55,500
I look over at Flint and I go,

621
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:57,779
are they talking robot dragons?

622
00:25:58,660 --> 00:26:01,779
You know the Metallic Dragons are dragons.

623
00:26:01,779 --> 00:26:03,339
They are just metallic in color.

624
00:26:03,339 --> 00:26:07,579
They're the gold, silver type dragons

625
00:26:07,579 --> 00:26:12,339
and they always lean on the good side of the spectrum.

626
00:26:12,339 --> 00:26:13,899
Whereas the Chromatic Dragons

627
00:26:13,899 --> 00:26:16,259
lean on the evil side of the spectrum.

628
00:26:16,259 --> 00:26:20,059
Elia stands up and says, thank you.

629
00:26:20,059 --> 00:26:22,259
Everybody feels very drawn to her,

630
00:26:22,259 --> 00:26:23,579
like I mentioned before.

631
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:28,579
When the Cult of the Dragon sounded the dracon,

632
00:26:28,579 --> 00:26:32,779
as you know, its tremors were felt across the north.

633
00:26:33,659 --> 00:26:38,139
Many metallic dragons began to investigate what it meant

634
00:26:38,139 --> 00:26:40,819
and gather information on the cult.

635
00:26:42,099 --> 00:26:45,259
One of those dragons, Protanther,

636
00:26:45,259 --> 00:26:50,259
invoked an ancient draconic rite of council

637
00:26:50,420 --> 00:26:53,779
summoning ambassadors from among the Metallic Dragons.

638
00:26:53,779 --> 00:26:56,019
The council has determined what they want

639
00:26:56,019 --> 00:26:57,779
and what the council here wants

640
00:26:57,779 --> 00:27:00,740
have overlapping similarities in,

641
00:27:00,740 --> 00:27:02,940
of course, stopping the rise of Tiamat.

642
00:27:04,140 --> 00:27:07,779
And they wish for a representative to be sent

643
00:27:07,779 --> 00:27:11,259
to their council meeting in the Nether Mountains

644
00:27:11,259 --> 00:27:15,140
to find out how, if at all, you can help each other.

645
00:27:15,140 --> 00:27:18,140
She looks to Lady Silverhand and she speaks.

646
00:27:18,180 --> 00:27:21,580
Having such an alliance would be

647
00:27:21,580 --> 00:27:24,380
immensely powerful in our fight.

648
00:27:24,380 --> 00:27:27,580
Is this something that you, four,

649
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:30,940
she looks to Thea, three,

650
00:27:30,940 --> 00:27:33,100
if Grancis has somewhere else to be?

651
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:35,980
He does, I'm sure he does.

652
00:27:35,980 --> 00:27:36,820
He's a busy guy.

653
00:27:36,820 --> 00:27:38,980
Can take on and handle the negotiations

654
00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:40,420
with the Metallic Dragons?

655
00:27:40,420 --> 00:27:42,460
Are we being asked to be in two places at once?

656
00:27:42,460 --> 00:27:45,820
Elia says the council meeting will be held

657
00:27:45,859 --> 00:27:48,139
when you get to it.

658
00:27:48,139 --> 00:27:50,139
If there are matters that need to be taken care of

659
00:27:50,139 --> 00:27:53,619
before that, with the Misty Forest,

660
00:27:53,619 --> 00:27:55,899
they would be understanding in that.

661
00:27:55,899 --> 00:27:58,899
They do not wish to wait much longer, though.

662
00:27:58,899 --> 00:28:01,539
Well, it only takes us about four months

663
00:28:01,539 --> 00:28:04,659
to accomplish a goal.

664
00:28:04,659 --> 00:28:06,500
Totally.

665
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:07,659
What do we think?

666
00:28:07,659 --> 00:28:09,619
I mean, it just sounds like

667
00:28:09,619 --> 00:28:11,700
having more allies is a good thing.

668
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:13,059
That you know the Metallic Dragons

669
00:28:13,059 --> 00:28:18,059
to be some of the wisest and smartest creatures

670
00:28:19,220 --> 00:28:20,819
in the land.

671
00:28:20,819 --> 00:28:22,419
I would like to meet those creatures.

672
00:28:22,419 --> 00:28:24,059
I don't know about you, Nularaaaa.

673
00:28:24,059 --> 00:28:27,700
I think it is a good idea for the alliance.

674
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:32,700
I think we are not diplomats

675
00:28:33,859 --> 00:28:36,460
and this will not play to our strengths.

676
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:38,980
However, I'm willing to go

677
00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:40,819
if that's what the council wants.

678
00:28:40,819 --> 00:28:45,220
I think as long as we can properly articulate

679
00:28:45,220 --> 00:28:47,419
the side in which that we are both on,

680
00:28:49,059 --> 00:28:50,619
I think it will be fine.

681
00:28:50,619 --> 00:28:53,179
I think we are all on the same team.

682
00:28:53,179 --> 00:28:54,939
What exactly are they looking for?

683
00:28:54,939 --> 00:28:59,139
Are they just looking for an amicable show of faith?

684
00:29:00,539 --> 00:29:03,899
I have only been sent to ask for a representative.

685
00:29:03,899 --> 00:29:05,339
Okay, so they just want to chit chat.

686
00:29:05,339 --> 00:29:06,379
I say we go.

687
00:29:06,379 --> 00:29:07,619
Sure. Of course.

688
00:29:07,619 --> 00:29:08,460
Grant just says,

689
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:09,939
I can make sure that I've done my thing

690
00:29:09,940 --> 00:29:12,460
before you guys go there and we can,

691
00:29:12,460 --> 00:29:15,380
I've talked to lots of dragons before.

692
00:29:15,380 --> 00:29:17,940
You speak Draconic.

693
00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:20,259
Well, I mean, they speak common too.

694
00:29:21,220 --> 00:29:22,420
Very common.

695
00:29:24,860 --> 00:29:28,340
Look, they were yummy mashed potatoes.

696
00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:30,420
Just don't get me started.

697
00:29:30,420 --> 00:29:31,259
Yes, we will go.

698
00:29:31,259 --> 00:29:33,140
I got distracted of our common talk.

699
00:29:33,140 --> 00:29:34,900
You know, the star of John Wick 2.

700
00:29:36,220 --> 00:29:37,660
Of course, of course.

701
00:29:38,620 --> 00:29:40,860
He's an underrated actor.

702
00:29:40,860 --> 00:29:41,700
Shut up.

703
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:42,860
Been watching him in Hell on Wheels.

704
00:29:42,860 --> 00:29:44,980
He is amazing.

705
00:29:44,980 --> 00:29:46,540
He's pretty good, pretty good.

706
00:29:46,540 --> 00:29:48,500
Sounds like we got a new list of tasks.

707
00:29:48,500 --> 00:29:50,620
Yes, we are in agreement.

708
00:29:50,620 --> 00:29:51,460
Wonderful.

709
00:29:51,460 --> 00:29:55,220
So you shall head with Delaine Winterhound

710
00:29:55,220 --> 00:29:56,620
to the Misty Forest

711
00:29:56,620 --> 00:29:59,779
and then go to the Nether Mountains

712
00:29:59,779 --> 00:30:02,340
and meet with the Metallic Dragons.

713
00:30:02,340 --> 00:30:04,700
Promptly witch reporting back here

714
00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:06,100
as to findings of both.

715
00:30:06,140 --> 00:30:08,140
Sorry, what do you mean by promptly?

716
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:09,300
We don't do anything promptly.

717
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:11,500
As quickly as possible.

718
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:15,220
As time, of course, is of the essence.

719
00:30:15,220 --> 00:30:17,700
Well, you have much to prepare for.

720
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:21,460
I will dismiss you from the meeting

721
00:30:21,460 --> 00:30:22,860
unless there's anything else

722
00:30:22,860 --> 00:30:25,700
you require from us before you leave.

723
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:27,780
Just standard provisions.

724
00:30:27,780 --> 00:30:30,940
Definitely could use some more healing potions.

725
00:30:30,940 --> 00:30:32,140
Yeah, that'd probably be good.

726
00:30:32,140 --> 00:30:36,740
Yes, we can supply you with all the things you need.

727
00:30:36,740 --> 00:30:40,780
As many healing potions as your airship can carry

728
00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:42,300
and it shall be so.

729
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:44,540
Lady Silverhand dismisses you

730
00:30:44,540 --> 00:30:46,100
and then carries on with the meeting

731
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:47,580
and you hear as you,

732
00:30:47,580 --> 00:30:48,860
are you staying, are you going?

733
00:30:48,860 --> 00:30:49,700
What's happening?

734
00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:50,940
I think we should go.

735
00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:51,780
Yeah, great.

736
00:30:51,780 --> 00:30:53,620
We're terrible at interacting with things.

737
00:30:53,620 --> 00:30:56,180
Let's on to action.

738
00:30:56,180 --> 00:31:00,580
You hear kind of the general conversation

739
00:31:00,579 --> 00:31:03,099
as you are exiting the room

740
00:31:03,099 --> 00:31:08,059
is just different heads of regions

741
00:31:08,059 --> 00:31:10,299
talking about the different things

742
00:31:10,299 --> 00:31:12,619
that the cult is doing in their countries,

743
00:31:12,619 --> 00:31:13,539
in their realms.

744
00:31:14,419 --> 00:31:19,019
And it sounds like it's not looking very good.

745
00:31:19,019 --> 00:31:21,980
The cults have been sacking cities

746
00:31:21,980 --> 00:31:26,019
and there's not a lot of people anymore

747
00:31:26,019 --> 00:31:29,579
fighting back against them in a lot of these areas

748
00:31:29,579 --> 00:31:30,500
that they are hitting.

749
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:32,579
They're hitting a lot of smaller towns.

750
00:31:32,579 --> 00:31:34,379
Again, taking treasures

751
00:31:34,379 --> 00:31:38,099
and just general murdering of people.

752
00:31:38,099 --> 00:31:39,299
Well, that's not good.

753
00:31:44,740 --> 00:31:45,619
Well, hello there.

754
00:31:45,619 --> 00:31:47,259
I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.

755
00:31:47,259 --> 00:31:48,259
Thank you for joining us

756
00:31:48,259 --> 00:31:50,939
for episode 30 of Dumbgeons and Dragons.

757
00:31:50,939 --> 00:31:51,779
Can you believe it?

758
00:31:51,779 --> 00:31:55,379
30 episodes titled A Council Meeting in Waterdeep.

759
00:31:55,379 --> 00:31:57,460
Wanna take a moment just to say thank you

760
00:31:57,460 --> 00:31:59,339
for joining us for these 30 episodes

761
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:02,540
or if this is your first episode, thank you as well.

762
00:32:02,540 --> 00:32:04,180
The show of support from our listeners

763
00:32:04,180 --> 00:32:05,900
and other podcasters that we've received

764
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:07,940
over the last year has been amazing

765
00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:09,460
and it's with your support

766
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:12,220
that we keep making each episode better.

767
00:32:12,220 --> 00:32:14,100
The next episode will be out January 31st

768
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:15,780
and this next episode coming up

769
00:32:15,780 --> 00:32:18,900
will feature our very first guest star, DM Doc

770
00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:20,780
from the Bros and Dragons podcast.

771
00:32:20,780 --> 00:32:22,300
Go check out his podcast

772
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:24,060
and give him some love over there.

773
00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:25,700
But let's get back to the episode

774
00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:28,300
and set forth on the next adventure.

775
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:29,260
Have a great couple of weeks

776
00:32:29,259 --> 00:32:30,299
and we'll talk soon.

777
00:32:33,980 --> 00:32:34,819
What you doing?

778
00:32:34,819 --> 00:32:38,099
Gathering supplies, throwing them on the airship,

779
00:32:38,099 --> 00:32:39,940
punching Grancis in the stomach.

780
00:32:40,779 --> 00:32:41,619
Hoi!

781
00:32:43,539 --> 00:32:47,220
How many healing potions

782
00:32:47,220 --> 00:32:50,259
am I actually updating my inventory to include?

783
00:32:50,259 --> 00:32:51,140
Yeah, ditto.

784
00:32:52,460 --> 00:32:55,460
Like, I'll give you,

785
00:32:55,460 --> 00:32:56,299
I'll give you,

786
00:32:57,940 --> 00:32:58,779
how many did you have last night?

787
00:32:58,859 --> 00:33:00,859
You started to say 50, did you say 50?

788
00:33:00,859 --> 00:33:02,859
I was gonna say four.

789
00:33:02,859 --> 00:33:04,220
I was gonna say four.

790
00:33:04,220 --> 00:33:05,379
Four each?

791
00:33:05,379 --> 00:33:06,220
Yeah.

792
00:33:06,220 --> 00:33:07,779
Okay.

793
00:33:07,779 --> 00:33:09,099
It's not as good as 50,

794
00:33:09,099 --> 00:33:12,220
but I'll take four because I had a zero.

795
00:33:12,220 --> 00:33:17,220
They're gonna give you each one rare

796
00:33:18,220 --> 00:33:20,980
and three uncommons.

797
00:33:20,980 --> 00:33:25,139
So the one rare is an eight d four plus eight

798
00:33:25,139 --> 00:33:28,579
and the uncommons are four d four plus four.

799
00:33:29,539 --> 00:33:32,339
Uh oh, this means fights are gonna get real hard, guys.

800
00:33:32,339 --> 00:33:34,619
Yeah, so you gather your health potions

801
00:33:34,619 --> 00:33:36,579
and you head to the airship

802
00:33:36,579 --> 00:33:39,059
and there is a new person there.

803
00:33:39,059 --> 00:33:43,019
First you get word from a representative from the council

804
00:33:43,019 --> 00:33:46,700
that Delaine Winterhound will be heading out on foot.

805
00:33:47,660 --> 00:33:49,740
Oh God, it's gonna take him forever to get there.

806
00:33:49,740 --> 00:33:51,940
I'm pissed about it because I really,

807
00:33:51,940 --> 00:33:53,379
I thought we hit it off.

808
00:33:53,379 --> 00:33:54,899
Why is he going on foot?

809
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:58,860
He's a man of the ground and of the wild.

810
00:33:58,860 --> 00:34:00,740
And approximately how long will it take him

811
00:34:00,740 --> 00:34:01,740
to get there on foot?

812
00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:02,940
Oh, not long.

813
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:05,100
How long will it take us to get there by air?

814
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:06,940
Less than long.

815
00:34:06,940 --> 00:34:09,059
Oh my God, you're so specific.

816
00:34:11,059 --> 00:34:13,300
It's all the units of time you've got to lose.

817
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:14,180
Don't worry about it.

818
00:34:14,180 --> 00:34:16,980
Story things, we'll just figure it out.

819
00:34:16,980 --> 00:34:18,059
Okay.

820
00:34:18,059 --> 00:34:21,980
So yeah, he will be heading out on foot with his wolf

821
00:34:22,019 --> 00:34:25,539
and he will be meeting you at the rendezvous point,

822
00:34:25,539 --> 00:34:28,340
which she has left for you.

823
00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:29,900
Right, we totally talked about it.

824
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:31,300
Yeah, which you totally talked about

825
00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:34,019
and it's totally in this scroll

826
00:34:34,019 --> 00:34:35,940
that has been handed to you.

827
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:37,460
Perfect.

828
00:34:37,460 --> 00:34:39,260
And you get on board the airship

829
00:34:39,260 --> 00:34:43,219
and there is another older man standing there.

830
00:34:43,219 --> 00:34:44,740
Oh joy.

831
00:34:46,019 --> 00:34:47,740
Is it Grandsass?

832
00:34:47,740 --> 00:34:51,380
It's Francis, Francis' twin brother.

833
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:53,579
It's Francis and Grantsass.

834
00:34:55,579 --> 00:34:56,420
Nope.

835
00:34:56,420 --> 00:34:57,460
Super team.

836
00:34:58,619 --> 00:35:01,940
Tells stupid stories, does stupid shit.

837
00:35:01,940 --> 00:35:03,619
Grantsass comes aboard and he says,

838
00:35:03,619 --> 00:35:05,940
yeah, no, this is my buddy.

839
00:35:06,980 --> 00:35:08,980
He's going to help me take the frogs back.

840
00:35:08,980 --> 00:35:11,940
I mean, after we deal with all your misty,

841
00:35:11,940 --> 00:35:13,900
misty forest dragons and stuff.

842
00:35:17,340 --> 00:35:19,660
You want to know his name, I take it.

843
00:35:19,660 --> 00:35:21,300
Yep, yep.

844
00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:23,019
Yeah, yeah, you want to know his name.

845
00:35:23,019 --> 00:35:27,660
Hey, Thaddeus, this is my friends,

846
00:35:27,660 --> 00:35:32,660
the, my best friend, Laura and Clint,

847
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:35,340
all of which are great friends.

848
00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:38,380
This is Thaddeus, sicker, crumple.

849
00:35:38,380 --> 00:35:41,500
I've been calling him Crandall this whole time.

850
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:42,620
And he says,

851
00:35:42,620 --> 00:35:45,220
If anyone got my Simpsons reference, you're welcome.

852
00:35:45,220 --> 00:35:47,900
Yeah, it's true, one person got it.

853
00:35:47,900 --> 00:35:49,900
Somebody did and they were delighted.

854
00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:53,260
And they signed up for Patreon right after.

855
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,820
I'll work more Simpsons references into my games,

856
00:35:56,820 --> 00:35:57,700
that idea.

857
00:35:57,700 --> 00:36:00,820
He looks at you and he's like,

858
00:36:00,820 --> 00:36:03,460
judging by the look on your face,

859
00:36:03,460 --> 00:36:05,460
you've spent a little time with Grantsass.

860
00:36:05,460 --> 00:36:06,300
Yeah.

861
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:10,180
Just a little bit.

862
00:36:10,180 --> 00:36:11,019
How do you?

863
00:36:11,019 --> 00:36:11,860
Yeah, the only.

864
00:36:13,420 --> 00:36:14,980
Seems like it's been forever.

865
00:36:14,980 --> 00:36:17,099
I was trying to talk to you.

866
00:36:17,099 --> 00:36:18,579
Go for it.

867
00:36:18,779 --> 00:36:21,299
How do you know Grantsass, Thaddeus?

868
00:36:21,299 --> 00:36:22,860
Oh, we go, we go way back.

869
00:36:22,860 --> 00:36:26,779
We were, we were in the magic military a long time ago.

870
00:36:27,659 --> 00:36:32,659
I was his, his guy who made sure he didn't die.

871
00:36:33,219 --> 00:36:35,139
Oh, he only had one of those guys?

872
00:36:35,139 --> 00:36:38,579
Seems like that'd be like a full-time five person job.

873
00:36:38,579 --> 00:36:41,420
Why we don't work together anymore.

874
00:36:42,460 --> 00:36:45,259
Anyways, yeah, we've been on a lot of excursions,

875
00:36:45,259 --> 00:36:46,779
including this frog excursion,

876
00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:49,540
which I'm being roped back into

877
00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:54,540
to help them bring thousands of frogs back down south.

878
00:36:54,540 --> 00:36:58,060
I'm sorry, are these frogs currently on the airship?

879
00:36:58,060 --> 00:37:00,260
Yeah, oh yeah, they're down below.

880
00:37:00,260 --> 00:37:02,100
They're not big, he kept them small.

881
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,540
He's gonna make them bigger.

882
00:37:03,540 --> 00:37:05,660
Yeah, no, we remember.

883
00:37:05,660 --> 00:37:06,500
Oh boy.

884
00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:10,180
All right, okay, I mean, there's just some frogs.

885
00:37:10,180 --> 00:37:11,940
Yeah, we may or may not have been kidnapped

886
00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:13,620
by these frogs before.

887
00:37:13,620 --> 00:37:16,019
Anyway, does this not seem like a bad idea

888
00:37:16,019 --> 00:37:18,739
to anyone else to have thousands of frogs

889
00:37:18,739 --> 00:37:22,099
in the bottom of the airship on the way to a mission?

890
00:37:22,980 --> 00:37:24,259
Oh, don't worry about it, guys.

891
00:37:24,259 --> 00:37:27,179
I got them all locked up there.

892
00:37:27,179 --> 00:37:29,019
They're in, and we talked about it.

893
00:37:29,019 --> 00:37:31,739
You know, ribbit, ribbit, frog, frog.

894
00:37:31,739 --> 00:37:35,259
And we came to a conclusion

895
00:37:35,259 --> 00:37:37,019
that they just wanna be back home.

896
00:37:37,019 --> 00:37:41,500
Okay, but do you swear you're not gonna mess with them?

897
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:43,820
You're not gonna shrink anything?

898
00:37:43,860 --> 00:37:45,820
Swear on your mashed potatoes.

899
00:37:47,059 --> 00:37:50,300
Swear on your airship you are not going to shrink

900
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:54,260
or embiggen anything while we are on this ship

901
00:37:54,260 --> 00:37:56,340
and we are with you.

902
00:37:56,340 --> 00:37:57,180
Yes, sorry.

903
00:37:57,180 --> 00:38:02,100
I swear on my airship and my mashed potatoes

904
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:05,420
and my pancakes that I will not shrink in

905
00:38:05,420 --> 00:38:10,420
or embiggen anything on the airship while we are traveling.

906
00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:13,740
Excellent use of embiggen, guys.

907
00:38:14,580 --> 00:38:15,740
Yeah, I'm loving this.

908
00:38:18,220 --> 00:38:20,220
It's a perfectly Cromulan word.

909
00:38:20,220 --> 00:38:23,740
Thaddeus is, he's an older human male

910
00:38:23,740 --> 00:38:28,500
who is about, just about six feet.

911
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:30,680
He looks like he's in his late 70s.

912
00:38:32,460 --> 00:38:37,100
Wrinkled, sun-worn skin and long flowing white hair.

913
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:40,180
Not like the crazy hair of Grancis.

914
00:38:40,180 --> 00:38:42,060
He looks to Grancis and says,

915
00:38:43,059 --> 00:38:45,619
once this is done, we're done, dude.

916
00:38:45,619 --> 00:38:46,619
Like, seriously.

917
00:38:47,820 --> 00:38:49,099
Dude. Yeah, yeah.

918
00:38:49,099 --> 00:38:50,659
He's an old hippie, I like it.

919
00:38:50,659 --> 00:38:51,860
It's an old hippie.

920
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:53,900
Yeah, I got it.

921
00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:56,299
Okay, let's just, you know, one last,

922
00:38:56,299 --> 00:38:58,860
one last, one last kick at the can.

923
00:39:01,619 --> 00:39:06,380
And he goes and fires up the airship

924
00:39:06,380 --> 00:39:10,820
and you guys start flying off towards the misty forest.

925
00:39:10,860 --> 00:39:12,860
What are you guys doing on the airship?

926
00:39:13,780 --> 00:39:15,380
Playing that dice game?

927
00:39:15,380 --> 00:39:17,340
Oh, yeah.

928
00:39:17,340 --> 00:39:22,340
I roll two sticks, a half a heart,

929
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:24,100
and a side nostril.

930
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:26,180
Nobody knows what you're talking about.

931
00:39:26,180 --> 00:39:27,019
You win.

932
00:39:28,780 --> 00:39:30,539
This is like the game of cups.

933
00:39:30,539 --> 00:39:31,620
You have a full cup.

934
00:39:31,620 --> 00:39:33,420
For pretty much a solid day,

935
00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:36,220
just play this dice game.

936
00:39:36,220 --> 00:39:39,180
Grancis had the dice game, that's what he had, yeah.

937
00:39:39,339 --> 00:39:43,059
Here, guys, I learned this when I was on the water ship.

938
00:39:44,179 --> 00:39:46,500
Here, you might be able to play it.

939
00:39:47,419 --> 00:39:49,419
It's pretty intense, though.

940
00:39:49,419 --> 00:39:50,539
A lot of rules.

941
00:39:52,579 --> 00:39:55,139
A lot of confusing, confusing rules.

942
00:39:55,139 --> 00:39:57,099
So you guys are traveling for about a day

943
00:39:57,099 --> 00:40:00,500
and it's a little, it's about a day and a half flight

944
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:03,219
to get to the misty forest from where you are.

945
00:40:03,219 --> 00:40:08,219
And you are suddenly in what appears

946
00:40:08,220 --> 00:40:10,100
to be a lot of fog.

947
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:12,020
Grancis yells out, he's like,

948
00:40:12,020 --> 00:40:15,180
just keep an eye out, make sure we don't dip too low

949
00:40:15,180 --> 00:40:17,660
and clip a tree or something, you know.

950
00:40:17,660 --> 00:40:19,220
I'm sorry, who are you talking to?

951
00:40:19,220 --> 00:40:20,260
You guys.

952
00:40:20,260 --> 00:40:21,780
We are to keep an eye out.

953
00:40:21,780 --> 00:40:22,900
Yeah.

954
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:25,420
Aren't you driving this airship?

955
00:40:25,420 --> 00:40:27,620
Yeah, now I'm a fucking pilot.

956
00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:29,260
God damn it, I look out the window,

957
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:32,060
I'm like, I don't see anything.

958
00:40:32,060 --> 00:40:33,700
And as you look out the window

959
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:35,420
and you say you don't see anything,

960
00:40:35,420 --> 00:40:40,420
there is a burst of black flame that strikes the airship.

961
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:44,420
And a adult black dragon swoops overhead

962
00:40:44,420 --> 00:40:46,579
as you begin plummeting to the ground.

963
00:40:46,579 --> 00:40:50,220
And Grancis yells, I told you to watch out.

964
00:40:50,220 --> 00:40:51,780
Hold on to your butts.

965
00:40:51,780 --> 00:40:55,740
I had to pop in here at the end

966
00:40:55,740 --> 00:40:57,980
because amidst being bickered at,

967
00:40:57,980 --> 00:41:00,620
I forgot to mention that Thaddeus sickercrum-uple

968
00:41:00,620 --> 00:41:03,820
is an NPC name given to us by one of our patrons,

Music in today's episode was by Kavin McLeod

983
00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:32,380
of incompetech.filmmusic.io.

984
00:41:32,380 --> 00:41:33,699
Karla.

985
00:41:33,699 --> 00:41:34,539
Yep, I have some stuff.

986
00:41:34,539 --> 00:41:36,179
I sent you guys a page.

987
00:41:36,179 --> 00:41:37,019
Okay.

988
00:41:37,019 --> 00:41:37,860
Uh-oh.

989
00:41:37,860 --> 00:41:38,699
Uh-oh.

990
00:41:38,699 --> 00:41:39,539
Y-O.

991
00:41:39,539 --> 00:41:41,179
I'm the work.

992
00:41:41,179 --> 00:41:46,179
I'm sorry, I didn't read it.

993
00:41:46,179 --> 00:41:47,980
All sorts of like vocal activities going on.

994
00:41:47,980 --> 00:41:48,819
I know, I like it.

995
00:41:48,819 --> 00:41:50,059
And he's panicking.

996
00:41:50,059 --> 00:41:51,739
Freeing the natural voice over there.

997
00:41:51,739 --> 00:41:53,380
Russ just nodded, very like,

998
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:55,380
I can't believe you got it that fast.

999
00:41:55,380 --> 00:41:58,380
I'm just looking through my notes and it's like,

1000
00:41:58,380 --> 00:42:01,739
I'm just looking through my notes and it's like,

1001
00:42:01,739 --> 00:42:03,619
well, there are some people we saved.

1002
00:42:03,619 --> 00:42:04,820
There are some people we saved.

1003
00:42:04,820 --> 00:42:06,940
Surely some of these people will help us

1004
00:42:06,940 --> 00:42:08,500
if we need them too.

1005
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:10,059
I'm sorry, what accent is this?

1006
00:42:10,059 --> 00:42:10,900
I don't know.

1007
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:11,719
I like it though.

1008
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,860
It was very British at the beginning

1009
00:42:13,860 --> 00:42:14,699
and now I don't know.

1010
00:42:14,699 --> 00:42:15,539
He's just getting angry.

1011
00:42:15,539 --> 00:42:18,059
So he just, you know, you know, loses it.

1012
00:42:18,059 --> 00:42:20,579
This is Elia Stormborn.

1013
00:42:21,779 --> 00:42:23,380
Elia, please inform.

1014
00:42:25,460 --> 00:42:27,019
That's not your, that's not your real,

1015
00:42:27,019 --> 00:42:29,299
like Elia, yes, but is it Stormborn?

1016
00:42:29,299 --> 00:42:30,119
No.

1017
00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:30,960
It is?

1018
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,799
No.

1019
00:42:31,799 --> 00:42:32,619
Okay.

1020
00:42:32,619 --> 00:42:33,460
I was like, I was pretty sure.

1021
00:42:33,460 --> 00:42:34,739
It's Daenerys Stormborn.

1022
00:42:34,739 --> 00:42:36,980
But you gave me a micro heart attack there.

1023
00:42:36,980 --> 00:42:38,820
I was like, what is this shit

1024
00:42:38,820 --> 00:42:41,099
you're launching on me right now, Russ More?

1025
00:42:41,099 --> 00:42:44,779
Oh yeah, this is a fucking surprise crossover.

1026
00:42:44,779 --> 00:42:47,099
Bitch, get on board.

1027
00:42:47,099 --> 00:42:50,339
I feel really bad for Russ when he talks as Grancis,

1028
00:42:50,339 --> 00:42:54,279
because the look I give him is like,

1029
00:42:54,279 --> 00:42:56,539
I'm just sitting here just looking at him like,

1030
00:42:56,539 --> 00:42:59,819
just stop talking.

1031
00:43:00,659 --> 00:43:04,619
Why, why do you exist?

1032
00:43:04,619 --> 00:43:05,460
I agree.

1033
00:43:05,460 --> 00:43:07,259
I always feel bad when I mean to Grancis

1034
00:43:07,259 --> 00:43:09,940
cause like it's Russ being Grancis.

1035
00:43:09,940 --> 00:43:12,819
So just so you know, I think you're great, Russ.

1036
00:43:12,819 --> 00:43:14,699
Grancis, it's the worst.

1037
00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:18,860
I originally designed Grancis to be super useful,

1038
00:43:18,860 --> 00:43:22,940
but then he kind of quickly became super un-useful

1039
00:43:22,940 --> 00:43:24,100
and you guys just went with it.

1040
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:25,660
So that's what we're going with now.

1041
00:43:25,660 --> 00:43:27,700
Hey, the airship comes in real handy.

1042
00:43:28,860 --> 00:43:29,700
It does, it does.

1043
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:30,520
He's good for that.

1044
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,020
It cuts down on our time.

1045
00:43:32,020 --> 00:43:32,860
Yeah.

1046
00:43:32,860 --> 00:43:35,860
Yeah, that was the one thing that he had going for him.

1047
00:43:35,860 --> 00:43:38,260
Anyways, Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Dumb Dragons

1048
00:43:38,260 --> 00:43:39,100
production.
