[0.0s] Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.4s] As you quickly collect yourselves, you notice all of your members appear to be okay, except for Grancis.
[9.8s] Off in the distance you see, cresting that hill is a soul humanoid in armor shaped as a dragon.
[17.2s] Let them go and leave with your lives or me and my friend will destroy you all.
[23.0s] I only see one of you, shouldn't be too much of a problem, do your worst!
[26.8s] The black dragon circling above lets loose its breath weapon behind you, blocking your exit.
[32.4s] Over the hill comes a plate armored blue dragon.
[38.0s] See Grancis raises up off the deck and lets forth many lightning bolts shoot forward into each of the creatures still left standing.
[49.4s] And all of those creatures drop to the ground dead.
[52.8s] And you see Grancis' essence scatter.
[57.4s] I'll always be with you. Always.
[60.6s] Thea finds herself a little bit more upset about Grancis than she thought she would be.
[66.8s] But excuse me, metal clad sir, what is your name?
[71.4s] My name is Sir Largardt Willowden.
[74.8s] The rousing banter continues for quite some time.
[80.2s] And you all decide to go your separate ways.
[86.8s] And you all set off along the trail saying your sweet goodbyes to your savior in the dragon scale armor.
[96.6s] And head off towards the Misty Forest back on foot as you were many moons ago.
[104.4s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[106.6s] We are a fifth edition actual play podcast and I am your dungeon master Russ More.
[111.6s] And with me today is Amy More.
[114.4s] Yeah, I love this energy.
[117.2s] That was me being really enthusiastically excited.
[120.8s] I love it. Right.
[121.8s] Did you watch wrestling too on the weekend?
[124.0s] I didn't, but I channeled my inner, I don't know, sweaty grapple.
[133.6s] Any wrestler name.
[135.6s] I also hear Tom Laird over there.
[137.6s] Yeah. And Carla Johnson.
[143.2s] Do it, Carla.
[144.6s] Oh, you guys are the best.
[146.8s] I was having a bad night and you just you guys make me so happy.
[150.8s] Seriously. I mean, yeah, let's do this.
[155.0s] That's what I mean. There it is.
[156.4s] All right, brothers, let's get into this.
[159.8s] I'll tell you what, brother.
[161.2s] Can you smell what Paisley just did under this desk?
[165.0s] Yeah. Smell like she stepped into a Slim Jim.
[169.2s] Oh, yeah.
[171.4s] I don't know that reference.
[173.0s] Randy Savage, Slim Jim.
[175.0s] Oh, yeah, Macho Man was like the the Slim Jim spokesman for a long time.
[179.6s] Step into a Slim Jim.
[181.4s] Oh, yeah.
[183.4s] Oh, gosh, there's so many hand movements.
[185.4s] That's because he's all about the hand.
[187.2s] I was doing the hand movements too.
[189.0s] I felt it. It was good.
[190.2s] I wish we were video Skyping.
[192.0s] Me too.
[193.2s] This comes out February 14th.
[194.8s] So happy birthday, Carla.
[196.6s] Oh, yeah. Happy birthday, Carla.
[199.6s] It's your birthday.
[201.8s] Your happy podcast birthday.
[203.6s] FYI, guys, I got Carla the best birthday present.
[207.8s] You did.
[208.8s] Yep.
[210.0s] Okay, Carla, take your headphones off.
[211.4s] What did you get her?
[212.8s] Okay, I'm going to tell you right now.
[215.2s] No, I'm not going to. It's going to be a surprise.
[217.0s] Is it a Slim Jim?
[219.0s] Oh, yeah.
[220.4s] Yes.
[222.6s] Carla, I'm sorry.
[225.2s] And we've ruined her birthday.

[266.8s] I feel like I just said to Russ the other day,
[268.8s] like I think the people that listen to our podcast
[271.4s] are like probably the best people.
[274.8s] Seems like it.
[275.8s] Like we would be friends with them.
[278.0s] Like IRL.
[279.2s] Exactly.
[280.0s] Real cool and super nice.
[282.2s] Well, after we determined that it wasn't just Russ in fake mustaches.
[286.4s] Well, I'm 99% sure that that's true.
[289.6s] I was accused of that.
[290.8s] No, fuck it. Let's play D&D.
[294.4s] You've headed off from the burning city of Daggerford
[298.2s] with its screaming people in the building
[302.4s] and left the airship crashed at the side of the city
[306.0s] and left your new friend flying off in the other direction
[312.6s] and headed off towards the Misty Forest.
[314.2s] But you've been wandering for about a day
[316.4s] on the way to the Misty Forest
[317.8s] and you find yourself at the edge of the Misty Forest about nightfall.
[322.0s] Thaddeus is with you and he suggests that
[324.6s] maybe we should camp here for the night before we head in there
[328.4s] and just kind of get our wits about us.
[331.4s] I thought that he was taking the grungs back.
[334.8s] Yeah, he's there now.
[336.8s] So let's talk about that.
[338.2s] Let's talk about that.
[339.4s] Thaddeus said he was going to go take the grungs back,
[343.0s] but decided to kind of hang out
[345.4s] and maybe he didn't give you an exact reason why.
[348.8s] Thaddeus, we're really happy to have you along.
[353.6s] But I have to ask, where are the grungs?
[358.8s] The grungs are here with us.
[361.8s] Like in your pocket or because there's a lot of them.
[364.4s] Like a satchel?
[366.6s] As you guys are asking him about various handbag attire,
[371.2s] he pulls off his backpack
[373.4s] and pulls out a long steel cylinder
[377.2s] and on it, in very Granthus-like writing,
[380.8s] it says, grungs, good for six months.
[384.6s] Oh my gosh, he freeze dried them.
[388.8s] And he opens it up and you look inside
[391.2s] and there's their entire civilization.
[394.2s] It looks like he shrunk them a little bit smaller even
[399.8s] and made it so they could self-sustain
[402.0s] for apparently six months.
[405.0s] So I thought being that you guys are going into
[409.0s] a bit of what could be a hairy situation,
[411.6s] maybe I tag along.
[413.2s] And he screws the top back on the lid
[414.8s] and puts it back in his bag.
[416.6s] Sounds like a pretty good plan.
[418.2s] We'd love to have you with us.
[419.8s] Can anyone else imagine the grungs to be like,
[422.0s] The sun!
[423.4s] And then he covers it back up and they're like, oh.
[426.0s] Well, thank you, thank you, yes.
[427.4s] And he goes about help setting up the fire
[431.0s] and tents and bedrolls and everything.
[433.8s] What are you guys doing?
[434.8s] I'll probably go look for food.
[437.4s] I guess we probably took some good supplies
[439.6s] from our crashed ship,
[441.2s] but you know, we're in the woods
[443.4s] and that's like, I'm in my element.
[446.4s] So I'm gonna go, I don't know,
[449.0s] like not far from camp,
[450.2s] but see if I can like,
[451.8s] rustle up a rabbit or something
[453.6s] for us to eat over our fire.
[455.8s] Do we need firewood?
[457.0s] Cause I've got a perfectly good ax for chopping.
[459.8s] You can certainly chop some firewood.
[462.2s] Thea, what are you doing?
[463.6s] Thea pops a squat next to the old fire there
[468.2s] and pulls out a joint and lights her up.
[472.4s] And does as Thea do.
[473.8s] Does as Thea do.
[474.8s] And she looks over to Thaddeus
[476.2s] and she gestures like, hmm?
[479.2s] And he says, no, no, thanks.
[482.2s] I'm good.
[484.0s] But you could be better.
[487.6s] First taste is free.
[489.0s] All in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
[492.0s] I'm okay for right now, thank you.
[495.0s] Nulara, you go off into the woods
[497.8s] and it's getting dark,
[499.2s] but you go a little ways off the path.
[501.8s] Make an investigation.
[504.0s] 80.
[505.2s] It doesn't take you long
[506.4s] before you go into the woods
[508.2s] and you hear what sounds like a boar.
[512.6s] Not too far off the path.
[514.8s] As you are well versed in the forest,
[517.0s] you very stealthily sneak through the trees
[519.8s] and come up behind about 20 yards out
[522.8s] from a full grown boar.
[527.4s] Those are very dangerous.
[528.8s] I mean, at least in the human world.
[530.4s] I don't know about in the D&D world.
[532.2s] Tell me, is it really dangerous?
[533.6s] Am I scared?
[534.6s] No, no, you know, it's got two big tusks.
[538.8s] So you know exactly what's going on with this boar
[541.8s] and how best to take it down if you so desired.
[547.4s] I probably don't.
[549.2s] We don't have any way to preserve food.
[550.8s] It would be wasteful to kill an animal that large
[555.6s] when we couldn't eat it all before it would go bad.
[560.8s] I don't think I would want to.
[563.6s] I'm looking for one meal's worth of food.
[566.8s] Yeah.
[567.6s] Like a bird or a rabbit or something.
[569.4s] Sure.
[570.2s] You back off of the boar and quietly move away from it.
[573.8s] Make another, just roll a d20 for me.
[576.4s] I will.
[577.8s] I rolled a two.
[578.8s] So I think it's probably going to decide to kill me now.
[584.2s] The boar follows you and recognizes you from its dark past.
[590.4s] You killed its mother.
[592.2s] Oh, no.
[594.0s] I didn't add anything to that too,
[595.4s] but I'm sure it doesn't matter.
[596.8s] That's fine.
[597.6s] That's fine.
[598.4s] So you, yeah, you come across on your,
[602.4s] as you're walking through,
[603.6s] I'll give you a couple things that you see
[605.4s] and you can determine what you would stop
[608.2s] and try to take down.
[611.0s] You see a deer.
[615.4s] There are a couple owls up in the trees
[618.0s] and you also see a few rabbits running around.
[622.0s] Okay, definitely a rabbit.
[623.4s] Deer, two big owls.
[625.2s] That seems fucked up for some reason.
[627.0s] You come back with an owl.
[629.6s] Guacamole will probably eat you.
[631.2s] Guacamole will not give me a ride next time.
[633.6s] Also, they all just came from their university
[635.6s] graduation ceremony, I assume.
[640.4s] They have their caps on.
[644.4s] So rabbit it is.
[646.4s] How about a rabbit?
[648.2s] Sure, just make a,
[650.0s] what are you using to take it down?
[651.8s] Oh, did you mean a skill or item?
[654.6s] Either or.
[656.0s] Are you using your hands
[657.0s] or are you using a weapon of some sort?
[659.0s] Oh my God, I'd love to watch someone
[660.8s] try to catch a rabbit with their hands.
[662.4s] There are going to be a couple more checks
[663.8s] if that happens.
[664.8s] I guess I have a light crossbow.
[667.6s] So sure, let's give that a shot.
[670.8s] I'm not going to flame sort it.
[674.4s] And it's cooked now too.
[675.8s] Pre-cooked, yeah.
[677.0s] Exactly.
[679.0s] It's convenience food.
[681.6s] So I just rolled a nat 20 on rabbit hunting.
[687.6s] Of course you did.
[689.0s] Tell me how you skillfully murder this rabbit.
[695.0s] I take one shot and it hits it
[697.8s] in exactly the right place to kill it instantly
[700.2s] so it feels no pain.
[702.4s] Then I go collect it,
[704.2s] say a brief prayer of thanks to the rabbit
[707.0s] for giving its life so we could eat
[708.6s] and then I collect it and take it back to camp.
[711.2s] New Laura's got mad respect for nature.
[715.2s] Clint, you're going to chop down some wood?
[718.0s] Yes, sir.
[719.4s] All right.
[719.8s] Well, there's lots of trees.
[721.6s] So are you going for a big tree, a little tree?
[723.6s] What kind of tree are you going for here?
[726.0s] I'm going to go for a medium plus size of tree.
[730.4s] All right.
[731.0s] All right.
[732.2s] Give me give me a strength check
[733.8s] to see how quickly you take down this piece of...
[736.8s] That is a 21.
[738.2s] Best rolls we've ever had.
[740.2s] We're fucking catching dinner
[742.0s] and chopping down firewood.
[745.0s] It takes you a couple of swings,
[746.2s] but yeah, you fell this tree
[749.0s] and chop up what you need there
[752.0s] and bring it back to the fire
[756.6s] where Thea and Thaddeus are just sitting, waiting.
[764.8s] He hops up and he says,
[765.8s] oh, good, the firewood.
[768.0s] I'll get started on the fire.
[769.4s] So Thaddeus goes and starts up the fire.
[771.2s] Are we all back here now?
[772.4s] Yeah, everybody's back.
[774.8s] I look at New Laura and I go,
[777.6s] only one rabbit has a munchies.
[784.4s] You'll be fine.
[785.2s] We have lots of other supplies from the airship.
[788.2s] Fair enough, fair enough.
[789.2s] I pass her a bag of Cheezys.
[792.0s] That's what rations means.
[793.4s] I get that.
[795.4s] Cheesy poofs.
[797.2s] I look at them and go,
[798.0s] I wish they were Cheetos.
[800.0s] So yeah, Thaddeus goes and he starts the fire
[802.2s] and everything gets cooking there.
[804.8s] So wait, Thaddeus started the fire?
[808.0s] I don't know.
[808.6s] He hopped up because he was tired of sitting
[810.8s] in awkward silence with Thea
[812.0s] and came over and grabbed some wood for a meal.
[813.8s] Well, we didn't start the fire.
[816.4s] But was it always burning since the world was turning?
[822.6s] Thank you, Amy.
[823.2s] Thank you for fighting along with me.
[824.0s] You're welcome.
[824.6s] I totally caught on.
[826.0s] Wait, Thaddeus started.
[827.2s] I was like, well, we didn't start the fire.
[833.0s] And he is...
[835.0s] Just moving along.
[837.8s] Everybody's sitting around and Thaddeus pipes up
[840.8s] and he says, so...
[844.8s] How long have you guys been around with Grancis?
[847.6s] It seems like forever.
[850.0s] You know, Grancis is one of those guys.
[852.8s] It just it doesn't matter how long you're with him.
[855.4s] It just seems like eternity.
[858.8s] And then God rests his soul.
[860.4s] Then it's gone all too fast, isn't it?
[863.8s] Yeah, a little bit.
[865.8s] Thea gets a little nostalgic.
[867.4s] She's like, remember that time?
[870.6s] He served us mashed potatoes and we all shrunk.
[873.2s] Oh, I do remember that.
[875.0s] Boy, do I.
[876.6s] What a fun adventure that was.
[879.2s] Yeah, he had a knack for messing up spells, didn't he?
[888.2s] Well, sure saved our ass at the end.
[890.8s] Yeah, he did.
[892.0s] And the airship came in really handy a lot of times.
[895.0s] He was a good guy.
[896.0s] We weren't with him too long.
[897.8s] And even in the time we knew him, we didn't spend a lot of time with him.
[903.0s] He kind of just picked us up and shuttled us around.
[906.8s] And that's mostly it, except for that whole mashed potato grung thing.
[916.2s] Well, I spent some more time with Grancis.
[920.2s] We had a bit of a falling out.
[923.8s] But yeah, we traveled a lot back, well, when I was more your ages of sorts.
[934.0s] We had a team of adventurers, you could say, who went on missions not unlike yourself.
[942.4s] Not quite to the scale that you guys are doing here with the world saving.
[946.0s] But I remember a time we were in the thick of a large battle with some goblins.
[955.8s] We were supposed to go stop this tribe of goblins from wrecking this little civilization,
[962.4s] this little settlement that was having problems with them.
[966.2s] It was supposed to be an easy in-for-some-out job, that sort of thing.
[970.2s] But their colony was much bigger than what we had been led on.
[975.6s] We found ourselves with our backs against the wall, and then out of nowhere,
[981.6s] Grancis remembers that he can polymorph things.
[985.4s] And he polymorphed our fighter.
[988.4s] What was his name?
[990.4s] Romaine Broadsword.
[992.8s] Polymorphed him into a T-Rex, just right there.
[997.6s] Should have seen the look on those goblins' faces.
[1000.8s] So awesome.
[1003.0s] A T-Rex, you say?
[1004.8s] Yeah.
[1006.4s] Um...
[1008.4s] I have a little question.
[1011.4s] Yeah.
[1012.4s] Now, we know that Grancis could do some awesome stuff.
[1018.0s] Of course.
[1020.0s] And he always had the best intentions.
[1022.6s] Mm-hmm.
[1024.6s] Did...
[1026.2s] Did Mr. Broadsword ever make it back to his original form?
[1031.2s] Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
[1033.8s] I was wondering the exact same thing.
[1037.8s] We met a cool T-Rex, and I thought, it's a pretty small world.
[1041.8s] It'd be pretty crazy if that T-Rex I made friends with
[1045.8s] was actually Grancis' old friend that he didn't morph back.
[1051.8s] No, yeah, I mean, he morphed back pretty soon after that.
[1054.8s] I mean, what happened between polymorphings later?
[1059.8s] I mean, I suppose anything is possible, but no, no.
[1063.8s] Romaine, he turned back, just as you do,
[1067.8s] after a polymorph spell, and he...
[1070.8s] Yeah, he told that story a lot.
[1073.8s] And was it just the three of you,
[1075.8s] or was there other adventurers in your group?
[1078.8s] No, we had a...
[1080.8s] We had a team of eight of us.
[1083.8s] Whoa. That's a lot. That's a lot.
[1085.8s] Yeah.
[1087.8s] You know, strength in numbers, as they say.
[1090.8s] But yeah, we had a well-versed crew
[1093.8s] who went out a lot of the time.
[1095.8s] You guys ever fight a dragon?
[1097.8s] Yeah, we fought a dragon before.
[1100.8s] Did you win?
[1102.8s] Well, we got away.
[1105.8s] Hey, nothing's wrong with the win.
[1108.8s] Not dying. It's the win in my column.
[1111.8s] Yeah, I hear you guys have been going up against some dragons.
[1115.8s] Well, obviously we have, because that was yesterday.
[1118.8s] Well, yeah.
[1120.8s] But others as well.
[1122.8s] Thought you might have some hot tips,
[1124.8s] some hot dragon-killing tips, but guess not.
[1127.8s] Don't use your things that require saving throws.
[1132.8s] Or just use lesser things with saving throws
[1135.8s] and save your big stuff to the end.
[1138.8s] Solid advice.
[1140.8s] What's a saving throw, I mean?
[1142.8s] I don't know.
[1145.8s] A flash of things.
[1147.8s] Some divine inspiration.
[1149.8s] He says, oh, God, sorry, and fixes her top.
[1152.8s] So...
[1154.8s] Hasn't been a boob or a dick joke yet.
[1157.8s] Yeah, it's true, and we're really far in, so it was good.
[1160.8s] He needed to get it.
[1162.8s] Thaddeus, how long do you think you're going to stay with us?
[1166.8s] Do you have a plan, or are you just going to see how it goes?
[1169.8s] No plan.
[1171.8s] I mean, I came with you guys to help Grancis with the grungs,
[1174.8s] but it seems that, you know,
[1178.8s] our path has taken us, brought us together
[1181.8s] for what's to come in this dragon,
[1184.8s] cult of the dragon battle that we have going on here,
[1188.8s] so I'll stick with you until it seems that I should go somewhere else.
[1193.8s] What, uh...
[1195.8s] Or you have enough with me.
[1197.8s] Hey, if we could keep Grancis around for as long as we did.
[1200.8s] I think you're all right.
[1202.8s] Speaking of Grancis, and you don't have to tell me if you don't want to
[1205.8s] because I'm just being snoopy,
[1207.8s] but why do you guys have a falling out?
[1210.8s] No, it's fine, it's fine.
[1212.8s] We, um...
[1214.8s] We were on another job.
[1218.8s] This was, I don't know, 30 years ago or so.
[1223.8s] And...
[1227.8s] It wasn't looking good for us.
[1232.8s] And Grancis, in his all, in his haste,
[1239.8s] miscast a spell, a lightning bolt spell,
[1244.8s] and it instead targeted our team
[1249.8s] as well as the foes we were fighting.
[1255.8s] It was a group of orcs and bugbears,
[1259.8s] and they...
[1261.8s] I was the only one that survived.
[1266.8s] And after that, I just couldn't trust them anymore.
[1270.8s] Well, that's reasonable.
[1273.8s] That seems...
[1275.8s] Well, first of all, terrible, I'm sorry,
[1279.8s] but that is certainly a thing to end a friendship over.
[1290.8s] But then you decided to help him with the grungs anyway?
[1295.8s] I guess it had been a long time, but...
[1298.8s] It had been a long time, and I'm a man of faith.
[1303.8s] I've been holding back a lot of resentment towards him,
[1308.8s] and I didn't want that to hold me back and to hold him back,
[1312.8s] because I felt having that possible connection
[1317.8s] could have propelled him back into what he could be.
[1321.8s] So I took a chance.
[1323.8s] He begins to get a little choked up,
[1326.8s] and he says,
[1329.8s] Well, it's getting late. I'll pack it in here.
[1333.8s] You just wake me up when it's my turn for watch.
[1336.8s] And he goes to his little tent
[1341.8s] and lies down in the bedroll he has laid out there.
[1345.8s] What do you guys do?
[1347.8s] Probably the same, or else we just decide on watches and go to sleep.
[1353.8s] Want to see you guys got any marshmallows?
[1356.8s] You want to make some s'mores?
[1359.8s] Theo wishes she had marshmallows.
[1363.8s] I'll take first watch.
[1366.8s] No, you did not.
[1368.8s] If I fall asleep now, man, I'm not getting up.
[1371.8s] That's true. You're all high and shit still.
[1375.8s] All right, I'll take second watch then.
[1378.8s] As you guys are determining watches,
[1383.8s] some smoke comes off of the fire,
[1387.8s] and it kind of hovers there for a minute.
[1391.8s] You hear an eerie...
[1402.8s] I say, Did anyone else hear that?
[1406.8s] I look at my joint and I'm like...
[1412.8s] You guys hear that?
[1415.8s] How strong is that stuff, Theo?
[1418.8s] I feel like it's affecting me.
[1424.8s] I don't think it's this.
[1427.8s] Grancis?
[1429.8s] Oh, you can hear me.
[1431.8s] Yeah.
[1433.8s] What's up, G-man?
[1435.8s] The smoke swirls into not a material form,
[1439.8s] but more of a ghostly apparition of Grancis.
[1444.8s] He says, Oh, I've been kind of hanging out
[1446.8s] following you guys for a little while.
[1449.8s] Must have been on ghosts and wind and stuff.
[1452.8s] Maybe that just stopped it.
[1455.8s] Anyways, thank you for saying all those nice things about me.
[1460.8s] The mashed potatoes, they were really good.
[1463.8s] You didn't mention the pancakes.
[1465.8s] Those pancakes, man, they were legendary.
[1468.8s] I was thinking about them.
[1470.8s] Yeah, no, it appears.
[1473.8s] Ghosts sometimes get locked to things
[1476.8s] and then they can't leave.
[1479.8s] I'm pretty sure I'm locked to the grungs.
[1482.8s] Do you want us to tell Thaddeus
[1484.8s] and get him to return them right away?
[1488.8s] You think you've got to get them back home?
[1491.8s] Don't tell Thaddeus that,
[1494.8s] because he'll just want to...
[1496.8s] You know, they're good for six months.
[1498.8s] I packed them full of seeds and stuff down there
[1501.8s] and they should be fine.
[1503.8s] I think he really needs to be with you guys.
[1506.8s] I'll just kind of hang out.
[1509.8s] Grancis, what is the afterlife like?
[1512.8s] Right now it's...
[1515.8s] There was a bright light.
[1520.8s] And then it's hard to keep myself together.
[1525.8s] Did you go toward the bright light?
[1527.8s] Yeah, and then it's just there.
[1530.8s] I still see it.
[1531.8s] And he points over your shoulder.
[1533.8s] And you try going towards it.
[1535.8s] Yeah, and I keep getting drawn.
[1538.8s] It's like I'm walking
[1541.8s] and he's moving his arms,
[1543.8s] but he has no legs.
[1544.8s] They're kind of the willy-willy wisp.
[1546.8s] But I'm not going anywhere.
[1549.8s] Do you see other ghosts?
[1551.8s] Thea has a lot of questions.
[1553.8s] I know, me too.
[1554.8s] This is amazing.
[1556.8s] We're building the whole afterlife right now.
[1558.8s] This is creating a world of fantasy.
[1560.8s] Are we surrounded by spirits we just can't see?
[1563.8s] I mean, there's some spirits everywhere.
[1565.8s] You should have known that.
[1566.8s] You're tapped into the nature of the...
[1568.8s] everywhere.
[1570.8s] How are your senses?
[1573.8s] Do they still function the same way?
[1576.8s] You know, I...
[1579.8s] No.
[1580.8s] No, I can see everything.
[1582.8s] I can hear...
[1584.8s] Sometimes things get a little muddied
[1587.8s] with the hearing.
[1588.8s] It's like there's a barrier between
[1591.8s] where the ghosts kind of hang out
[1593.8s] and the spirits kind of hang out,
[1595.8s] and sometimes you can kind of sneak through
[1597.8s] and pop through like I'm doing right now.
[1600.8s] But, you know,
[1604.8s] I can't really hold anything to taste it.
[1608.8s] I haven't figured that part out yet.
[1610.8s] I've got to find someone to talk to back here.
[1613.8s] Do you have friends?
[1615.8s] I mean, I've been dead for less than 24 hours,
[1618.8s] so it's tough to make friends right away.
[1620.8s] Yeah, it would be for you.
[1621.8s] Yeah.
[1626.8s] Thea says it really sincerely.
[1629.8s] That was out of game laughter.
[1631.8s] Oh, yeah.
[1632.8s] Oh, totally. That was out of game laughter.
[1634.8s] That was Carla laughing at Amy being hilarious,
[1637.8s] not new Laura laughing at Thea.
[1641.8s] No, I think it's being really earnest.
[1643.8s] Like, yeah, you're a handful, man.
[1645.8s] Like, yeah, you're going to need more than 24 hours there, buddy.
[1648.8s] Yeah, no, I get it.
[1651.8s] And, you know, hopefully sometime fall goes to plan.
[1655.8s] I'll be able to be able to reach that light at the end there,
[1658.8s] and maybe I'll see some friends.
[1662.8s] So you haven't got any like great knowledge
[1666.8s] that you could share with us
[1668.8s] that you didn't have before you passed.
[1672.8s] Yeah, can you read our minds?
[1675.8s] Thea starts thinking real hard about stuff.
[1679.8s] Big bag of dicks.
[1684.8s] No, I agree.
[1685.8s] Now is it like a tote bag?
[1687.8s] Is it like a plastic shopping bag?
[1688.8s] Like, what are we going with here?
[1690.8s] Oh, no.
[1691.8s] No, I'm getting a visual of you and a dragon
[1694.8s] thinking of a big bag of dicks.
[1696.8s] Oh, I must be able to see the future or past or something.
[1700.8s] Hmm, that's weird.
[1702.8s] No, I don't have any great ideas for you right now,
[1705.8s] but I feel like that I've become this plot device
[1708.8s] that if something needs to be said, it can be said.
[1711.8s] Self-righteous of you.
[1713.8s] Oh, you know, I'm Francis.
[1717.8s] But yeah, if I find anything out,
[1719.8s] I'll gladly let you know.
[1722.8s] Come up with some questions.
[1724.8s] I'll see if I can figure them out.
[1726.8s] We were just going to like go to sleep now.
[1728.8s] Is there anything we can do for you?
[1731.8s] No, no, I just want to touch base.
[1734.8s] I'm going to go see what's going on behind the muffly part
[1737.8s] of where the rest of the spirits are.
[1739.8s] I see what's going on there.
[1741.8s] I'll just, you know, if you think you need me,
[1744.8s] just don't tell Thaddeus that I'm here
[1746.8s] because he'll try.
[1748.8s] He doesn't like spirits hanging in limbo.
[1750.8s] He likes to move things along.
[1752.8s] Just, you know, do your business, OK?
[1755.8s] Is there any way we can contact you?
[1758.8s] Or do we just have to wait till you pop back
[1761.8s] into our fire smoke?
[1763.8s] Oh, I think you just got to wait until I pop back
[1766.8s] and he pops away.
[1767.8s] OK.
[1769.8s] All right, well.
[1772.8s] You guys.
[1773.8s] Hey.
[1774.8s] Wow, that's a thing, hey?
[1776.8s] Just when you think.
[1778.8s] He's gone for good.
[1780.8s] Yeah, it's again just night and you guys are...
[1784.8s] Thaddeus stays up.
[1786.8s] I'm leaning against a log.
[1789.8s] I've put away my joint because I am on watch.
[1793.8s] Yeah, no.
[1794.8s] I take it seriously.
[1796.8s] Everybody goes through the night and watch is totally fine.
[1799.8s] Cool.
[1800.8s] You get up with the sun the next day
[1802.8s] and Thaddeus is the last one to take
[1804.8s] the last little bit of watch.
[1806.8s] And everybody's packing up
[1808.8s] and getting ready to move on from the camp.
[1811.8s] Perfect.
[1812.8s] And head into that misty forest.
[1815.8s] Well, I was hoping we'd be moving on up
[1817.8s] to that deluxe apartment in the sky.
[1819.8s] Well, eventually.
[1820.8s] That's where Grancis should be heading,
[1822.8s] but apparently not.
[1823.8s] Yeah.
[1824.8s] Thaddeus says, Grancis, what?
[1828.8s] You know when people leave you,
[1830.8s] but you just don't feel like they've left?
[1832.8s] Grancis was that kind of presence, you know?
[1835.8s] Yeah.
[1836.8s] Yep, I know that.
[1838.8s] Also, I saved a couple pancakes
[1841.8s] that he made there in my pack.
[1843.8s] It's like he's always with me.
[1845.8s] How old are those pancakes?
[1849.8s] Hard to say.
[1850.8s] And Thea kind of trudges off to the forest.
[1852.8s] He put that same stuff on it that he put on the grungs,
[1855.8s] so it was good for six months.
[1857.8s] Oh, I guess that makes sense.
[1859.8s] All right.
[1860.8s] So you guys start trekking into the misty forest.
[1865.8s] So you know there are different elven settlements
[1869.8s] within the misty forest.
[1871.8s] Do I know any of those elven settlements?
[1873.8s] Do I have family anywhere?
[1875.8s] I don't know.
[1876.8s] Where is your family from, Thea?
[1878.8s] Oh, no.
[1879.8s] Don't look at your character sheet,
[1880.8s] because you guys never came up with family backstories.
[1883.8s] I wasn't looking for my kids.
[1884.8s] Karla came up with the fact that she has six brothers,
[1886.8s] but nothing about anybody's parents or lineage.
[1888.8s] I don't even remember that.
[1889.8s] I can't remember.
[1890.8s] I can't.
[1891.8s] I can't be held responsible
[1893.8s] by any kind of saying game.
[1895.8s] So everybody's homework for next week.
[1897.8s] Pick a point on the map where your species comes from
[1902.8s] and come up with where you come from.
[1904.8s] OK, good, because I can't do that right now.
[1906.8s] Today's not the day.
[1907.8s] No, I said before next week.
[1908.8s] I know.
[1909.8s] Yeah, and you're going to need to text us that,
[1911.8s] because I will forget as soon as we stop recording.
[1913.8s] Oh, motherfucker.
[1915.8s] Yep, got it.
[1916.8s] I'm going to go put it in my calendar.
[1918.8s] OK.
[1920.8s] So yeah, you guys start heading along a path of sorts.
[1925.8s] And it comes to a clearing that has a large boulder in the center of it
[1932.8s] and splits into two paths,
[1934.8s] one more towards the north
[1936.8s] and one more towards the south.
[1938.8s] Anybody got a preference here?
[1940.8s] How south sound everyone?
[1942.8s] Good.
[1943.8s] Sounds good.
[1944.8s] Good decisiveness, Flint.
[1945.8s] I like it.
[1946.8s] I think we should just walk until we reach a settlement.
[1951.8s] I'm sure the Elven villages talk to one another.
[1954.8s] If things are going down with Nerenvane,
[1958.8s] they're all bound to know about it and give us some sort of information.
[1962.8s] Seems plausible.
[1964.8s] I agree.
[1965.8s] We got to find some people and find out what's going on here.
[1967.8s] So yeah, you guys turn south and you carry on for a little ways
[1972.8s] and you travel for a few hours and you come to what looks like a small settlement.
[1980.8s] It's very quiet, though.
[1982.8s] It doesn't look like there's any people or anything in there.
[1985.8s] Thea calls out.
[1986.8s] Hello?
[1988.8s] Is anyone here?
[1990.8s] No answer.
[1991.8s] And what do we see?
[1992.8s] Just like a few huts or...?
[1995.8s] Yep.
[1996.8s] There's a few wooden huts of sort.
[2001.8s] Everybody make a...
[2004.8s] I assume you're looking around and stuff.
[2005.8s] So make an investigation check.
[2008.8s] A nat 20.
[2009.8s] No, why are we rolling so well for shitty thing?
[2012.8s] Well, I got a three, so I just...
[2014.8s] Yeah, six.
[2016.8s] Okay, I see stuff.
[2017.8s] You guys are picking your noses.
[2019.8s] Nularaaaa and Flint are a little more in the lead
[2023.8s] and they're kind of looking around at the huts, kind of peering in.
[2026.8s] It looks like there's been a scuffle in there of sorts,
[2029.8s] but then Thea and Thaddeus come up behind them
[2033.8s] and just grab their head and point it up.
[2038.8s] And you look up and everybody sees a second level to this settlement,
[2046.8s] which is a treetop settlement.
[2050.8s] And you see pulley systems that look like they lead down.
[2055.8s] But again, there's nobody that you can see walking along any of the gang planks.
[2059.8s] There's nobody through any of the windows that you can see
[2062.8s] or the openings that you can see.
[2064.8s] It looks like this settlement has been abandoned of sorts.
[2071.8s] I call up.
[2073.8s] Hello, my name is Thea Amastasia.
[2077.8s] Is anybody up there?
[2079.8s] We've come to help.
[2082.8s] You call a couple times and you hear a...
[2087.8s] Everybody's looking around up.
[2089.8s] And you hear a growl come from behind you.
[2095.8s] I spin around.
[2097.8s] You are about 15 feet from a large, snarling winter wolf.
[2108.8s] It doesn't look like it's making a move to attack you,
[2112.8s] but it doesn't look like it's friendly at the moment.
[2115.8s] Can I do an animal handling roll?
[2118.8s] Do it!
[2120.8s] I don't even know what that means, but I never get to...
[2122.8s] Handle that animal, girl!
[2125.8s] Oh, God.
[2127.8s] I threw it. I got to try again.
[2129.8s] You were so excited.
[2130.8s] I was. I was so excited because I always try and do this to something
[2133.8s] that's clearly attacking us and it does not work, of course.
[2137.8s] It's like on top of you. You're like, animal handling.
[2141.8s] You can do it with advantage if you want there.
[2144.8s] That's okay. I had a good roll.
[2146.8s] I have a plus six, so I'm pretty good at it anyway.
[2149.8s] I had a 17.
[2152.8s] I'm like, hey, puppy.
[2155.8s] You know, general dog chit chat like you do.
[2159.8s] Sure.
[2161.8s] You step between Thea and the winter wolf,
[2163.8s] and you're trying to calm it down.
[2164.8s] It seems to soften in its face
[2167.8s] and kind of give you a little bit of a confused look,
[2170.8s] but it stops snarling at you.
[2171.8s] Like the dog head tilt?
[2173.8s] Yeah.
[2175.8s] I mean, I lean over.
[2177.8s] I lean over Nularaaa's shoulder and I whisper in her ear,
[2180.8s] if you talk to me like that when I'm a dog, I'll bite you.
[2186.8s] Hey, good idea.
[2188.8s] If you turn into a dog, can you talk to that dog?
[2191.8s] We can talk to that dog.
[2192.8s] Hello, are you a person in there?
[2195.8s] I say it in Elvis.
[2196.8s] The winter wolf doesn't say anything,
[2199.8s] and you hear from behind it come through the trees,
[2202.8s] a bellowing gruff voice that you've heard before,
[2206.8s] calling, Laska, Laska, come back.
[2209.8s] And Delaine Winterhound comes out and says,
[2212.8s] there you guys are.
[2213.8s] Hey, Delaine.
[2216.8s] What's up?
[2217.8s] How are you?
[2218.8s] Our airship crashed.
[2219.8s] It was kind of bad.
[2220.8s] I'm glad we ran into you.
[2227.8s] Well, hello.
[2228.8s] I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More.
[2229.8s] Thank you for joining us for episode 32 of Dumbgeons and Dragons,
[2233.8s] titled, Fireside Reflection.
[2235.8s] It was a nice episode that I feel gave Tom,
[2238.8s] Carl, and Amy a chance to practice some NPC chat
[2241.8s] and continue treating NPCs as real people
[2244.8s] who have their own story to tell.
[2246.8s] Quick thing before we get into this business,
[2248.8s] go check out a new podcast called,
[2250.8s] Tales from the Five Nations.
[2252.8s] It's an actual play podcast in the Eberron setting,
[2255.8s] using the Savage World system,
[2257.8s] and it is super fun and very well done.
[2259.8s] It's put together by David Ginsburg,
[2261.8s] who is the creator of Tales from the Fandom
[2263.8s] and longtime friend of the podcast.
[2265.8s] I'm going to link it in the description below.
[2267.8s] Go check them out and show them some love.
[2269.8s] I think you're really going to enjoy it.
[2270.8s] We just announced that we will be starting
[2272.8s] a monthly live stream hangout in March
[2275.8s] for explorer and adventurer level patrons.
[2278.8s] Big things are happening over there,
[2279.8s] and we want you to join us.
[2281.8s] If you're new to the Dumb Dragon community,
[2283.8s] just in general,
[2284.8s] or if you've never done so before,
[2286.8s] something that really also helps every podcast
[2288.8s] is dropping a five-star rating in review
[2291.8s] for the podcasts you love on Apple Podcasts
[2294.8s] or Stitcher or Podknife
[2296.8s] is another place you can do that.
[2298.8s] All of our social media links
[2299.8s] can be found at dumbdragons.com.
[2301.8s] And, oh, we just started
[2303.8s] a new Dumbgeons and Dragons group on Facebook.
[2306.8s] Not a page, we have a page still,
[2308.8s] but as well a group.
[2309.8s] Link is in the description,
[2311.8s] where we have a small but growing community
[2313.8s] of people who love to talk about the show
[2315.8s] and D&D in general.
[2316.8s] So come on over, share your stories,
[2318.8s] share your ideas, and check us out there.
[2320.8s] The next episode will be out February 28th,
[2323.8s] when we will be joined for a super fun episode
[2325.8s] by Michael and Kyle from American Gods Cast.
[2329.8s] Let's see what's happening back at Fireside though.
[2331.8s] Oh, and don't forget to send Carla
[2333.8s] some birthday wishes.
[2334.8s] She won't tell you,
[2335.8s] but she really does love them.
[2337.8s] Have a great couple weeks.
[2338.8s] We'll talk to you soon.
[2345.8s] Yeah, it seems like nothing really good
[2348.8s] has been going on anywhere.
[2350.8s] My reports clearly have been right,
[2354.8s] and King Melandrich is full of shit.
[2357.8s] That's why his eyes are brown.
[2360.8s] You noticed that, did you?
[2362.8s] Yeah, pretty clear.
[2363.8s] So you've met Laska?
[2365.8s] Laska says, hey, what's up?
[2368.8s] What's up, Laska?
[2369.8s] I was just gonna try and bite your face off,
[2372.8s] but you gave me the whole good puppy thing,
[2376.8s] and it felt kind of nice.
[2378.8s] It felt kind of nice.
[2379.8s] So I just thought you didn't want to do any harm.
[2383.8s] Hey, appreciate it.
[2385.8s] Totally appreciate it.
[2386.8s] Hey, Delaine, what have you learned?
[2388.8s] We've only been here overnight.
[2390.8s] Well, I've been through a couple settlements like this.
[2392.8s] This one looks like they may have got warning
[2395.8s] before attacks came,
[2397.8s] but the last one that I was at is a slaughter.
[2401.8s] Were you coming from the south, right?
[2403.8s] No, he's coming from the north.
[2405.8s] Coming from the north, okay.
[2406.8s] Waterdeep is from your current location.
[2408.8s] Sorry, I'm having a trouble.
[2409.8s] From your current location,
[2410.8s] Waterdeep is north and west towards the coast.
[2413.8s] Okay.
[2414.8s] So you're very close.
[2416.8s] Misty Forest is on the other side of the serpent hills
[2419.8s] from where you were when you were hunting for ram.
[2424.8s] Just if you're trying to plot it out on a map there.
[2427.8s] This is the first settlement we've come across.
[2430.8s] The others are looking worse?
[2432.8s] Yeah, the other one that I went to,
[2437.8s] there were no survivors left.
[2440.8s] Everyone was killed by what looks like a dragon attack or sword.
[2447.8s] So it leads me to believe that cult attacks are happening
[2451.8s] and they have a dragon,
[2453.8s] which does not bode well.
[2456.8s] We have actually seen that dragon.
[2458.8s] You have?
[2461.8s] Yes.
[2462.8s] Just yesterday.
[2465.8s] Which dragon?
[2467.8s] Big black dragon.
[2469.8s] Yeah, that one.
[2470.8s] That's more disturbing because reports from my agents
[2474.8s] from the Emerald Enclave state that a green dragon
[2478.8s] has been seen in the area.
[2480.8s] So there's more than one.
[2482.8s] Well, yes.
[2484.8s] I mean, we're fighting the cult of the dragon, but...
[2487.8s] The cult of the dragon?
[2490.8s] Now there's two?
[2492.8s] They're going to need to rename.
[2494.8s] That's fair.
[2496.8s] They also report that there is a settlement
[2498.8s] in the Misty Forest that is still standing
[2501.8s] and that may be the best place to start.
[2505.8s] That city is Altend.
[2508.8s] I can give you directions.
[2510.8s] I'm supposed to meet up with some other agents
[2512.8s] and I can come meet you after I'm done with that.
[2515.8s] The latest reports have them holding their ground right now,
[2519.8s] so everybody who may have fled from any of these other settlements
[2523.8s] might be there as well,
[2524.8s] and they may have reports that might help us.
[2527.8s] How far away is that settlement?
[2529.8s] It may take you a day to get there.
[2532.8s] Okay, I guess.
[2534.8s] Point us in the right direction.
[2535.8s] We need a destination,
[2537.8s] and that sounds like a good place to start
[2539.8s] figuring out what's going on and where Narenvain is
[2542.8s] and, you know, hack if he's evil or not.
[2544.8s] You know, just run out of the millstone.
[2545.8s] Or hack.
[2546.8s] Yeah, absolutely.
[2547.8s] And he gives you directions.
[2550.8s] He says most of the way there is path,
[2553.8s] which it looks like you've been following
[2555.8s] one of the paths from the edge of the forest,
[2557.8s] but you will have to cut through some area
[2559.8s] where there's not.
[2561.8s] So are you guys okay going through the forest?
[2564.8s] Well, this is my preferred terrain.
[2568.8s] Wonderful. Mine as well.
[2571.8s] Or something like that.
[2572.8s] Favored terrain. There we go.
[2574.8s] All right.
[2575.8s] Well, as long as you guys think you can make it okay,
[2577.8s] he gives you directions and he says,
[2579.8s] I will meet up with you.
[2582.8s] I should be only about half a day behind you
[2584.8s] once I get to where I need to be.
[2586.8s] Sounds good.
[2587.8s] And he calls for Laska,
[2590.8s] and they head off back into the forest.
[2594.8s] I guess we head in that direction, I assume.
[2597.8s] Yeah?
[2598.8s] Yeah, friends?
[2599.8s] Yes.
[2600.8s] So you've been traveling for most of the morning now,
[2603.8s] and you walk along the path,
[2605.8s] and you get to the point where he said
[2609.8s] it turns from path to just open brush,
[2613.8s] and you start heading in there,
[2615.8s] and you feel, after walking a little while,
[2618.8s] you get the sense that something's been following you,
[2623.8s] Nulara and Nulara especially.
[2627.8s] You see out of the corner of your eye
[2630.8s] flashes of different color,
[2633.8s] something small, not something large,
[2636.8s] and you hear almost faint laughter
[2640.8s] coming through the trees.
[2642.8s] Okay, I'm going to do a...
[2645.8s] Sorry, I had to find the book to...
[2647.8s] because I actually wanted to see
[2649.8s] what favored terrain got me,
[2651.8s] so I'm going to do some good stuff.
[2653.8s] So I guess we'll do a perception check
[2658.8s] to see if I have an idea of what is,
[2662.8s] I don't know, following us,
[2664.8s] or what makes that sound,
[2665.8s] or the light flashes, or whatever,
[2667.8s] just to see if I can figure out what that's all about.
[2670.8s] Sure.
[2671.8s] And my proficiency bonus is doubled,
[2676.8s] because I'm amazing at this.
[2678.8s] I'm going to proceed with the shit out of this.
[2681.8s] 29? I got a 29.
[2683.8s] Do you alert anybody to what you're doing,
[2686.8s] or do you stop?
[2687.8s] What are you doing when you do this?
[2689.8s] Yeah, I think so.
[2691.8s] Probably just kind of like slow down
[2694.8s] and do the classic SWAT team maneuver,
[2697.8s] like hold up a hand, like wait.
[2700.8s] I mean, there's only four of us.
[2702.8s] It shouldn't be that hard to get their attention.
[2704.8s] Thea gives you a big thumbs up.
[2706.8s] Yeah.
[2707.8s] And I kind of just do what that winter wolf did
[2712.8s] and like cock my head and listen
[2714.8s] and try and figure out what's going on.
[2716.8s] You hear, you listen for a little while,
[2718.8s] and it seems like everything is, the noise has stopped.
[2721.8s] And then you hear a snap of a twig off to your right.
[2726.8s] And you look, and there's like a rustling brush,
[2730.8s] but you can't see an animal,
[2732.8s] and you can't quite figure out at first
[2735.8s] what would be making the sound.
[2737.8s] Who goes there?
[2738.8s] I don't think I just wait and let something follow us.
[2741.8s] I need to know. Drive me crazy.
[2743.8s] You hear kind of a giggling laughter,
[2748.8s] two giggling laughters coming from the brush,
[2751.8s] and it's moving around a little bit more.
[2754.8s] Show yourselves.
[2755.8s] The rustling stops,
[2757.8s] and you see slowly coming up from behind this bush,
[2764.8s] small antlers, and then what looks like a human face,
[2769.8s] big smiling, two of them.
[2772.8s] And they look like almost bearded sprites
[2776.8s] with huge, for their size,
[2780.8s] antlers on top of their heads.
[2782.8s] And they say, hi.
[2794.8s] Music in today's episode was by Kavin McLeod of Incompetech.Filmmusic.io.
[2806.8s] Why do Google Hangouts change their name from G-Chat to Google Hangouts?
[2811.8s] You know how easy it is to say G-Chat?
[2813.8s] Real easy.
[2814.8s] You know how irritating it is to say Google Hangouts?
[2816.8s] It's a lot more simple.
[2817.8s] Just say Gook Hangs.
[2819.8s] Just Gook Hangs.
[2823.8s] You guys got some Gook Hangs?
[2825.8s] Oh, those sweet Gook Hangs.
[2827.8s] You can change your mind.
[2830.8s] And if you change your mind.
[2832.8s] I'm the next in line.
[2834.8s] Yes.
[2835.8s] I didn't know the lyrics or I would have jumped right into it.
[2840.8s] I'd have pretty good chuckle when Russ Pride Grants is back.
[2844.8s] I'll be perfectly honest.
[2851.8s] One thing you should know is Grants is my pride and joy.
[2856.8s] He was supposed to be the greatest NPC of all time.
[2859.8s] I think he is.
[2860.8s] He's certainly the one we've had the most feelings about.
[2864.8s] Oh, yes.
[2865.8s] That's true.
[2866.8s] Yeah, the most interactions.
[2868.8s] All those feelings.
[2870.8s] I'm sorry.
[2871.8s] Is anyone else picturing Thaddeus like Sam Elliott?
[2878.8s] Yeah, I could see that.
[2879.8s] I am now.
[2880.8s] That is exactly it.
[2881.8s] Because he's an older gentleman, a little rougher on the edges.
[2886.8s] Yeah, in my head he's Sam Elliott.
[2889.8s] I like it.
[2890.8s] Perfect.
[2891.8s] If anyone knows Sam Elliott and he wants to guest star on our podcast, please make that happen.
[2896.8s] Who are you talking to?
[2898.8s] Anyone listening.
[2899.8s] Listeners?
[2900.8s] Oh, anyone.
[2901.8s] Anyone.
[2902.8s] You're more than welcome to if you know Sam Elliott, but I was more so talking to our listeners.
[2907.8s] I don't know if Sam Elliott tweets, so I probably don't have like a tweet venue.
[2912.8s] And you know, I only have two more favors with him.
[2916.8s] That is the question.
[2918.8s] I mean, that's all we really need is the mustache to come on.
[2921.8s] Wait, how many favors did you have originally?
[2924.8s] Four.
[2925.8s] What did you use the first two on?
[2927.8s] No kidding.
[2928.8s] Can't say.
[2930.8s] Oh, wow.
[2931.8s] Dumbgeons & Dragons is a Dumb Dragons production.
