[0.0s] Previously, on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.8s] Donnie is going to put on his Collar of Evolution.
[7.4s] Like a magical energy swirls around him and he begins increasing in size and a
[13.1s] golden shimmer comes from this energy and he grows to about the size of a human.
[20.0s] Holy shit!
[21.0s] You got a mirror or something?
[22.4s] I can see my beautiful self!
[24.2s] And look at the blue dragon scales that are getting a little bit bigger on the old
[29.8s] chest.
[30.8s] They haven't grown much higher towards your neck, but they're beginning to spread down
[33.5s] to your side.
[34.7s] Which is nice, they haven't grown up because I like to wear a deep V on occasions,
[38.7s] so it's real good that they haven't been creeping up there yet.
[41.6s] I've been noticing you've been trying to get those deep V's, so I've been trying
[44.5s] to hold it back.
[45.5s] I appreciate that a lot.
[47.2s] You walk by Leosin's chambers, he smiles a little bit when he sees you, and he says,
[54.4s] good to see you, my friends.
[56.6s] You've dealt with the Misty Forest and the Dragon Council, everyone is hesitant
[61.4s] to move forward until you return, so thankfully you've returned today.
[66.8s] And Lady Leral Silverhand ushers you to sit at some empty chairs at the table
[71.6s] there and she says, dear adventurers, it is good to see you back.
[76.7s] I guess the more pressing matter, the Dragon Council, will they help us?
[81.9s] They will, but they've made demands that will need to be met before they will help.
[89.4s] We will make sure that arrangements are made to return the items that they are
[94.5s] in need of and to make sure all things have been met.
[98.4s] The doors to the council chambers burst open, a young squire come rushing in.
[105.2s] I come with news of stopping the Cult of the Dragon.
[110.2s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[111.8s] We are a D&D fifth edition Actual Play podcast, and I'm your dungeon master,
[115.5s] Russ More, and with me today is Carla Johnson.
[118.4s] Hey, I'm Carla and I play Nulara Moonbrook.
[121.9s] And also Amy More.
[123.8s] And also Amy More.
[126.3s] I play Thea Amastasia.
[128.7s] And Tom Laird.
[130.4s] Yeah, that's me.
[131.1s] I play Flint Firebeard.
[133.1s] Guys, it's been so long since we've seen each other.
[135.3s] Oh my god, it's been so long.
[137.0s] It's been so long.
[140.0s] I don't even know if I can remember what happened in the last episode.
[144.2s] I mean, that's pretty consistent.
[145.2s] Stuff? Did stuff happen?
[146.2s] I mean, you did step out for part of it, so that's legit.
[149.2s] I had to sing some lullabies.
[151.8s] I get it.
[152.4s] I can't say the word lullaby without thinking of the Chuck Palahannouk book.
[155.8s] You guys ever read that?
[157.0s] I have not read that one from him.
[158.7s] I've read other stuff from him.
[159.9s] Super creepy.
[161.3s] Apparently, there's a lullaby that if you sing it to your kid, they will die in their crib.
[166.7s] Oh, that sounds fucking great, right?
[169.5s] Thanks, Chuck.
[171.2s] I think you can say that about a lot of his books.
[173.9s] You're reading and you're like, oh, Jesus Christ.
[175.9s] Thanks, Chuck.
[177.1s] I got that visual now.
[178.4s] Yeah, she was describing one to me as she was reading it.
[180.8s] And I was like, this is not for me.
[182.4s] Oh, it's his collection of gruesome stories.
[186.7s] And one dude is at the bottom of the pool
[189.6s] and decided to sit on one of the air intake filters.
[192.2s] I don't know why you're telling.
[193.7s] I'm just going to start talking.
[194.8s] Yeah, no, just stop. Stop telling everything about this.
[196.8s] Read the room, Amy. Read the room.
[198.7s] I can't even watch a trailer to a scary movie,
[201.3s] so I'm not sure why you're trying to tell me horror stories on our podcast.
[205.4s] Well, it's not really a horror story.
[207.1s] I'm sorry.
[207.7s] I already told them.
[208.2s] No, it sounded like it was a horror story.
[209.9s] Well, then, OK.
[211.6s] So I think the last book of his I read was Choke.
[215.1s] And I was like, I'm just going to stop reading him for a while.
[218.4s] I saw the movie.
[219.4s] It was a good book and everything, but it was just a lot.
[221.9s] I read a lot of his stuff.
[223.9s] I'm a sick and twisted individual.
[226.1s] But Chuck, if you want to come on the podcast, you just let us know.
[229.2s] Yeah, three of us won't be there.
[231.3s] I'm sure he's a nice guy.
[233.2s] I like some of his books.
[234.1s] I just thought Amy was going to start telling, like, scary stories,
[237.6s] just to tell in the dark.
[239.4s] And I am not interested.
[241.5s] It was disgusting.
[243.2s] Yeah, that's also a form of scary.
[245.8s] Got his insides ripped out through his butthole.
[248.2s] Oh, God, Amy, I have to say it.
[251.9s] You didn't have to say, yes, I did.
[253.5s] Yeah, I don't think you did.
[254.9s] You know, you know where you won't get your insides ripped out
[257.2s] through your butthole?
[257.9s] Patreon, Patreon dot com slash.
[261.6s] I think that might be the best segue ever.
[265.1s] If you're a patron of ours, we apologize.
[267.7s] Apologize. Yep. Sorry.
[269.5s] Sorry. Even just listen to us casually.
[271.9s] We apologize. Still sorry.
[274.1s] Still sorry.
[276.2s] But if you are a patron of us, you get an episode dedicated to you.
[280.6s] And today, this episode is dedicated to Blaine Covert.
[284.5s] Blaine. Thanks, Blaine.
[286.3s] Blaine, you rock.
[287.4s] You know why Blaine rocks?
[289.7s] Because Blaine is an artist and he is going to drop some character stuff.
[295.2s] Whoa, that's awesome.
[296.5s] Yeah. I've I've heard he mentioned that.
[299.0s] Yeah. Yeah, he said it on Facebook.
[301.1s] So I assume that it's a legally binding kind of thing.
[303.2s] I think so. Yeah, no, 100 percent.
[304.9s] That's how the Internet works.
[305.9s] Every time he says he posts something, I go to it and it's not a picture.
[310.4s] And I'm like, not this time.
[312.8s] Blaine, just never, never post it.
[316.0s] Send it to me directly.
[317.1s] So, you know, me, Tom and Carla can see it,
[319.4s] but just keep posting random things to Facebook.
[322.4s] He wants to do the one where Carla's dying in Grants
[326.2s] as Roundhouse kicks her bot, her spirit back into her body.
[330.2s] And I think that would be an awesome graphic.
[333.6s] Would be.
[334.8s] If you do that, Blaine, you're fantastic.
[336.6s] If you're not, you're still fantastic.
[337.9s] Still fantastic. Because life is busy.
[339.7s] You know what else is fantastic?
[341.8s] That Facebook group.
[343.4s] You're not in that Facebook group.
[345.4s] You should get in there. Things are getting good in there.
[347.0s] It's real fun.
[347.8s] People like post pictures of pets and funny jokes.
[351.3s] And also just like talk about D&D and just life.
[354.9s] It's fun. Yeah, it's a great time.
[358.0s] If you want to join that Facebook group,
[359.5s] we've got it up on our website as well.
[361.0s] DumbDragons.com or it'll be in the show notes as well.
[365.0s] So there's lots of ways to join us and do lots of cool things and fun things.
[370.4s] We make it really easy.
[371.6s] We try and make it easy and fun.
[374.9s] And I mean, once we once it kind of gets set up,
[377.5s] then then it's everybody else making it fun.
[379.8s] And I mean, we just we're just there having fun, having fun.
[385.3s] We're just there. We're just there.
[387.9s] OK, guys, let's play D&D. Yeah.
[391.0s] So you guys are in the council session and a darling squire
[400.5s] has just barged through the door and said something to the effect of
[405.8s] this letter contains the be all end all of ending the cult of the dragon.
[410.1s] I don't know if that's exactly what he said, but more or less, that's what it is.
[414.4s] It was just such a long time ago.
[415.6s] It's hard to say exactly what he said.
[417.3s] So long, so long ago, so long time.
[420.4s] And everybody obviously turns and looks at this this man who's come through
[424.7s] and Lady Silverhand beckons him over
[428.5s] and takes a look at the letter and opens up and reads it.
[431.3s] And and says, well, that's interesting.
[438.7s] And hands it to you.
[440.3s] And then she quietly leaves the room and takes the letter with her.
[443.5s] And we never find out what it says.
[444.8s] This is a teleportation scroll to another world,
[447.8s] and I will be taking it by myself.
[449.6s] She reads it, like pulls out a match, lights it, lights it on fire like, no.
[456.2s] Nobody else needs to know that.
[457.6s] She rips off her clothes to reveal a purple cloak underneath
[461.0s] because she was part of the cult the whole time.
[463.2s] Bump, bump, bump.
[465.2s] I couldn't write that good.
[467.2s] No, she hands you the letter.
[470.1s] I guess you all kind of crowd around the letter and you read it.
[473.8s] And it says it's here.
[477.1s] Hear you. It's hastily scribbled.
[479.6s] It says, you don't know me, but we can help each other immeasurably.
[486.2s] My name is Iskender, and I made a terrible mistake
[490.6s] in joining the cult of the dragon.
[493.0s] The cult's horrifying plans are sure to bring doom to all,
[496.9s] but I can stop those plans with your help.
[501.2s] Rescue me from the cult's clutches,
[503.3s] and I will deliver to you the prize of prizes, the Blue Dragon Mask.
[509.1s] Without it, Severin faces an insurmountable setback
[512.5s] in his effort to call Tiamat back to our world.
[516.0s] The mask is here in Xanthal's tower, being studied and guarded
[520.1s] by only a handful of wizards, including myself.
[524.2s] The danger of my treason becoming known grows with every passing day,
[527.6s] and if I'm discovered, I'll surely be killed.
[530.7s] Please hurry for the sake of everyone and everything you value.
[536.3s] And that's the end of the note.
[537.6s] Well, he is immediately like, sounds like a trap.
[541.0s] Oh, 100 percent.
[542.0s] But do we have any other leads to go with?
[544.7s] No, but I feel like before we get into this,
[547.7s] you all have a succubus problem.
[550.0s] FYI, making people kill themselves and each other.
[552.8s] OK, let's get back to this letter.
[555.2s] Hold on. What?
[556.8s] So, you know that there's been mysterious murder suicides happening.
[560.8s] Yes. Well, there's been a succubus going around,
[563.6s] enchanting people, making them do her crazy shit.
[566.1s] She's working for Tiamat, pretty sure.
[569.1s] Or for the cult.
[569.9s] We had a run in with her last night.
[572.4s] We did. I blinded the bitch.
[576.9s] Wasn't enough because she ran scared.
[579.0s] So she's still out there.
[580.2s] And she she says she knows our plans,
[583.0s] which is highly unlikely considering
[587.6s] we barely know our plans.
[590.9s] So secret, we don't even know what they are.
[593.8s] Well, that does, I guess,
[596.8s] explain how the cult has been able to keep a step ahead of us to this point.
[601.5s] So sorry, you you had a run run in with her and dealt dealt with the issue.
[608.2s] Um, we laid a pretty good smackdown on her, but she yeah.
[614.1s] Of course, they do.
[615.6s] Is is that the reason one of our knights is is currently in jail?
[621.7s] Yeah, he can probably let himself out now.
[624.5s] Oh, OK.
[626.8s] Well, we, I guess, will talk to him.
[629.9s] So they she was
[632.1s] she was convincing them to murder, murder themselves
[636.8s] or each other. Yeah, yeah.
[639.2s] Hmm. We didn't quite figure out the why of that.
[641.9s] Maybe you guys can look into that.
[643.8s] Of course, while we go on this rescue slash
[648.6s] trap mission.
[651.0s] All the best rescue missions end in a trap.
[653.4s] That's what I hear on the street. Word.
[656.3s] Lady Silverhand says with the utmost confidence that you totally believe.
[660.2s] Oh, yeah.
[661.3s] Roll roll for confidence in her street lingo.
[665.4s] That's not she seems like she's street wise.
[669.3s] I don't think she's ever seen the street.
[671.6s] Not in a while, not in a while.
[673.1s] I'm I'm I'm an old elf.
[675.5s] I haven't seen the street in a long time.
[677.0s] Anyways, OK, well, we have press.
[680.5s] What was the tower against? Sorry to interrupt.
[682.6s] What was the name of the tower?
[684.0s] Zontal's Tower X.
[686.8s] O. N. T. H. A. L.
[688.7s] Apostrophe S. Thank you.
[691.2s] Silent Q. T. R.
[693.9s] Oh, wow.
[695.0s] I'm just shocked it didn't start with a G.
[697.4s] Now, if you recall back to your
[700.8s] veram, the white interrogation notes,
[705.0s] he mentioned Zontal's Tower being a stronghold for what was previously
[711.4s] the previous iteration of the Cult of the Dragon, which was, you know,
[714.5s] all about raising Dracaliches and stuff.
[716.5s] And he mentioned two names.
[718.8s] Jorgen, Paul and Iskander were two of the names that he mentioned.
[723.6s] Oh, I remember scoffing at the name Jorgen.
[727.7s] So we've heard of this Iskander person.
[730.1s] So this is yeah, this is a name that should be familiar to you
[734.1s] in in your dealings with veram, at the very least.
[737.2s] Should we go talk to veram before we leave?
[740.9s] Veram, because he's in town, like in jail, isn't he?
[745.5s] As far as you know, yeah.
[747.6s] Because he might have some like insight into how to get into this tower
[751.6s] without raising a big ruckus.
[755.3s] You know how much we hate a ruckus.
[756.8s] I love a ruckus, but it's not helpful a lot of the times.
[760.4s] And he would know if.
[763.7s] I don't know, we might.
[764.9s] He might know if Iskander also was someone who seemed to be having doubt.
[770.5s] OK, let's go talk to veram.
[772.0s] Well, let's ask Silverhand, like is is
[776.7s] when we question veram, he mentioned Iskander.
[780.9s] Can we is he still here in jail?
[783.3s] Can we speak to him again?
[784.5s] Yes, we can make arrangements for you to continue an interrogation of him.
[789.0s] Short answer. Yes, sure.
[791.2s] Also long answer. Yes.
[792.4s] Also long answer. You got it.
[795.2s] Stop trying to be so street.
[796.8s] It's not who you are trying, trying to be relatable to my new
[801.9s] to the youth.
[802.7s] She holds up the page, the page that she pulled out of her sash
[806.6s] and is like, I'm just I'm just trying to be part of the club.
[808.8s] Oh, God. For a second, I thought she literally held up
[810.8s] like the squire, like the page.
[814.9s] I'm trying to be like this.
[815.7s] I'm trying to be like this guy right here.
[817.6s] Tell me your secrets.
[819.3s] And she's screaming into his face.
[822.6s] Things got weird. Yeah, right.
[824.8s] No, she says, yes, we can definitely arrange for you to speak with veram
[830.0s] and ask him about this.
[831.5s] There is one more piece.
[834.9s] One more lead, rather.
[836.8s] No, nobody else can go on except you.
[839.8s] And before this young man stormed into the chambers,
[842.8s] I was about to bring up the fact that you have been requested
[847.3s] by the Wizards of Thay
[850.5s] to go to Thay and speak with them,
[853.6s] then convince them to help us.
[856.5s] I feel like this might be like another one of the Dragon
[860.1s] Council things where it seems like
[863.3s] the blue mask is a pressing issue.
[866.9s] Because if he gets caught, he's going to get murdered.
[869.9s] And so the council of the Thay Wizards
[873.5s] may have to wait a few months.
[877.7s] They have that kind of time.
[879.5s] Aren't the Wizards of Thay bad guys?
[882.6s] Yes. The Wizards of Thay have been helping
[889.0s] or been known to be helping the cult of the dragon in the rise of Tiamat.
[892.8s] But we have been approached by
[895.8s] one such wizard.
[899.3s] Her name is Nye Ilmich,
[903.1s] and she comes directly from the Wizards in Thay.
[907.4s] And they say,
[909.9s] and they give us their word that the Wizards
[914.1s] that are helping the cult of the dragon are in no way related
[918.2s] to the Wizards in Thay.
[921.4s] In fact, they are exiles of.
[924.6s] They position it that if we don't convince them
[929.8s] that we are worthy of their help.
[933.6s] That we will not succeed.
[936.9s] In what's to come.
[939.0s] So we get to choose between trap A or trap B.
[943.9s] Yeah, at least we have a choice.
[946.8s] Would you like the Squire to decide?
[949.5s] No, I think.
[951.8s] Hey, why are you still here?
[953.1s] I don't know. She's still holding me.
[955.8s] She's still yelling in your face.
[958.1s] Slides are dangling.
[960.4s] She's very strong.
[962.4s] I don't know. Let's hash this out, guys.
[964.1s] What do you think?
[964.6s] I think Amy's right in the fact that one might be more time sensitive
[968.1s] than the other, but if these wizards need any sort of time
[972.3s] to, like, get all their shit in a row before they help us out,
[975.6s] that might be time sensitive, too.
[978.9s] Yeah, I think, though, in terms of immediacy,
[983.6s] having the blue mask would definitely buy us
[989.0s] a lot of time, hopefully, because that's kind of an integral piece.
[993.2s] If we have a chance to get an integral piece versus a chance for help
[997.8s] to get an integral piece, I say we go for the piece first,
[1000.8s] because if they murder Iskander,
[1005.2s] then I mean, that chance is gone.
[1008.9s] Whereas we can always plead, you know,
[1013.6s] please forgive us.
[1014.4s] We were pleading, you know.
[1017.1s] Well, we were fighting the cult of the dragon.
[1021.2s] Got here as soon as we could.
[1023.6s] What's the location difference, like geography wise in one super south?
[1031.0s] So Zompel's tower, you know,
[1034.0s] to be on the southern edge of the Grey Peak Mountains,
[1040.0s] which is near ish to the Serpent Hills.
[1043.0s] So you're looking at four to five hundred miles from your current location in Waterde.
[1049.8s] Faye, and this is Lady Silverhand talking, Faye is
[1055.8s] twenty five hundred miles to the east.
[1060.1s] What'd I say?
[1061.8s] You're pretty bang on.
[1063.1s] Right?
[1063.6s] However, Nye Ittlemitch
[1069.0s] has the ability to teleport you to Faye.
[1073.2s] Now, the concern being you are the only ones to go to Faye.
[1080.4s] That places you a very long ways away from here.
[1087.6s] I don't want to make decisions anymore.
[1090.6s] Looks like it is up to the squire.
[1092.2s] Faye, odd, we go and save.
[1096.2s] It was odd.
[1098.1s] It was a nineteen.
[1099.0s] Odd you go and save the guy.
[1101.4s] Well, I mean, you're right.
[1104.6s] In that Iskander's note does appear that people are on to him,
[1109.1s] whereas you can be teleported in an instant to Faye.
[1114.7s] It's a whole fuck ton long ways away.
[1117.6s] So if you go there first and you for whatever reason get stranded there,
[1121.2s] it's hard to get back.
[1122.4s] Well, I mean, you have a train, but still like twenty five hundred miles,
[1127.0s] as I always said, is still twenty five hundred miles on a train.
[1130.2s] Here's the map you've been working on.
[1132.0s] It's over here.
[1133.4s] Right.
[1134.7s] It's not even on the map.
[1135.8s] It can't even see the map.
[1136.2s] It is literally off the map.
[1138.0s] Yeah, they've left it off the map for the very reason that you will not be walking there.
[1142.2s] Faye pipes up and she says,
[1145.1s] And although I do believe that having a group of wizards wanting to clear their name
[1155.2s] and help us would be a tremendous aid in this,
[1162.2s] I do think Iskander probably doesn't have a lot of time left.
[1167.5s] And if we are to seize this opportunity of potentially getting the blue dragon mask,
[1172.8s] I think we would be stupid to pass that up.
[1177.2s] I agree.
[1180.2s] Oh, you're not talking to talking to.
[1182.9s] No.
[1183.4s] Well, you were there, too.
[1184.7s] I don't mean you were also part of the conversation
[1188.2s] and that you're standing there holding that poor squire.
[1190.7s] So you can drop him.
[1192.6s] That'd be great.
[1193.3s] Right.
[1193.6s] Right. Sorry.
[1194.2s] It's really awkward.
[1194.9s] Yes. Be a long boy.
[1197.6s] Thank you.
[1198.0s] If we are to be symbols, perhaps a victory in recovering a mask would be a good way to motivate.
[1211.1s] So I agree.
[1212.4s] Let's go with trap A.
[1217.2s] Flynn?
[1217.8s] Flynn just nods vigorously.
[1219.4s] Oh, how vigorously does he nod?
[1222.1s] Like nod, like you wouldn't confuse him with someone who's head banging along to metal,
[1226.5s] but like almost teeth chattering sound effects.
[1229.5s] That's how vigorous.
[1230.4s] No, he's not not quite that hardcore.
[1234.9s] Just a lot of beard rustling.
[1238.5s] Classic beard rustling sound effect.
[1241.7s] Why is that a big beard doesn't take a lot for that to rustle?
[1246.6s] You need to get him some beard oil for the next winter solstice.
[1250.1s] It's real dry in the winter.
[1251.3s] Sounding a little crusty.
[1253.0s] Ooh, it's all that egg bacon, mega bacon sandwich thing that he had.
[1259.8s] It's true.
[1260.3s] Or whatever.
[1261.0s] Well, I was thinking it was probably some leftover like beefy stew or something like that.
[1266.0s] I hope it's not still beefy stew.
[1267.8s] That was a long time ago.
[1270.4s] Will we have an airship or a train or how can you get us to Xanthal's tower quickly?
[1281.0s] Trains do not exist in this world, my dear.
[1285.9s] But we can, yes, we can definitely arrange an airship and she points to the window and you see
[1293.0s] fact that you didn't see them before because Russ didn't mention them.
[1295.8s] There's airships lined all outside, hovering above Waterdeep.
[1301.6s] And we will send you with as many as you need to get close,
[1306.8s] as close as you can to Xanthal's tower.
[1309.3s] That's great because we kind of broke the last one you gave us.
[1313.1s] Do you have a spare Grancis?
[1315.6s] We broke that one too.
[1316.8s] What, what do you mean?
[1318.7s] Oh god, no one's told them about Grancis.
[1320.7s] Guys, come on.
[1321.4s] I go to sing along, bye.
[1324.2s] They come back and I have to break the news about Grancis.
[1326.6s] Amy, we can't be telling the council about every NPC that dies.
[1329.9s] That's all we do.
[1337.4s] Grancis has passed.
[1339.4s] Grancis, we were attacked.
[1344.6s] For someone who hates Grancis, she sure brings them up a lot.
[1347.4s] It's true.
[1348.4s] Well, because you know what, there is a soft,
[1350.6s] like she's got a soft spot for him, but she would never admit it.
[1354.9s] Grancis, we were attacked and in the airship and well, Grancis did his best and
[1364.8s] essentially saved all of us in the crash.
[1368.5s] He was unable to save himself.
[1373.4s] Well, rest his soul.
[1379.2s] We will take the necessary steps to inform his next of kin
[1383.2s] and see that his belongings are given to her.
[1390.6s] He had family?
[1392.2s] He, yes, he had, has a daughter, Grancine.
[1405.5s] It's amazing and horrible in every way.
[1408.5s] Oh, it sparked an anger within me just hearing that name.
[1414.1s] But we will take arrangements.
[1417.1s] I see the look of sadness in your eyes.
[1420.6s] I wouldn't want to put you through having to go deliver that news.
[1425.4s] White hot sadness.
[1429.8s] So, sorry, you are going to Xanthal's tower
[1433.0s] and you would like to speak with Ver'em before you leave still?
[1438.2s] Yeah, I think that would be prudent.
[1441.4s] Of course.
[1442.7s] The guards here, I believe we are done all news we have unless more NPCs have died on
[1448.8s] your side.
[1452.2s] We never did find out what happened to GAlydindin, the upsy-downsy lift machine operator.
[1459.5s] Yeah, that's fair.
[1461.8s] Might have to go to Silvery Moon for that.
[1464.0s] Okay, yes, the guards will take you to see Ver'em and they do so.
[1469.2s] They lead you down the corridors, down to the lower levels in this building
[1474.1s] and to a single cell where lying on the cot is the good old dwarf Ver'em the White.
[1483.6s] You're outside the cell and the guard knocks at the bars and says,
[1487.1s] Ver'em, there's these guys here to see you.
[1490.8s] Ver'em sits up and says, oh, it's you guys.
[1494.5s] Good to see you again.
[1496.4s] Reckon shit for the cult.
[1498.6s] Doing our best.
[1499.4s] Much as we can.
[1500.7s] Great.
[1502.1s] Well, what brings you down here to little old me?
[1504.9s] Had a couple questions about, what is it, Zanthal's Tower?
[1510.5s] Zanthal's Tower, yeah, yeah, you're heading there?
[1513.8s] What are you heading there for?
[1515.2s] Yeah, we got a letter from Iskandar, something like that anyway.
[1521.5s] Iskandar, yeah.
[1523.6s] He says he can score us the blue dragon mask if we go and free him.
[1529.1s] Get him out of there.
[1530.2s] What do you think?
[1530.7s] Do you think it sounds like a trap?
[1531.7s] You seem like the kind of guy.
[1534.6s] What do you think?
[1535.4s] Is this a trap?
[1536.9s] No, I mean, Iskandar was more always kind of,
[1541.3s] he was more open to questioning what's going on, you know?
[1545.3s] He wasn't ever a guy who would take things at face value
[1549.8s] and drink the Kool-Aid, so to speak, just right out of the gate.
[1553.2s] Wasn't a yes man, was he?
[1554.7s] Yeah, so he and a bunch of other wizards were-
[1557.6s] Was it the blue raspberry Kool-Aid?
[1559.1s] Because that shit's gross.
[1560.8s] Yeah, I think so.
[1561.6s] That's the one they had going around last time I was out there.
[1565.2s] But yeah, he and some other wizards at the tower
[1568.8s] were often put in charge of magical investigations
[1574.6s] of different artifacts and elements that were going on.
[1579.8s] So, I mean, if they gave him a mask, why did they give him a mask?
[1585.8s] Not entirely sure.
[1586.8s] Last I heard they were all at the Well of the Dragons.
[1589.1s] But that said, it's not unheard of for them
[1592.2s] to give those sorts of artifacts to that group at that tower.
[1597.5s] So, I mean, that checks out.
[1599.2s] Anything we need to know about this tower,
[1601.0s] any kind of insight you can give us that would help us
[1605.2s] get in there with as little trouble as we can manage?
[1610.7s] Well, it's going to be trouble.
[1614.2s] Well, yeah, I kind of figured I said with as little trouble.
[1617.1s] Sure.
[1617.6s] Yeah, no, it's okay.
[1619.7s] So.
[1621.4s] Paint me a picture.
[1623.0s] It's a tower.
[1624.7s] Okay.
[1625.4s] It's very, it's got like a lovely dragon on top of the tower,
[1630.2s] a statue of a dragon, not a real dragon, but a statue of a dragon.
[1634.4s] Big open courtyard.
[1637.0s] Big open courtyard surrounded by a maze of endless things
[1640.8s] that are trying to kill you.
[1644.3s] And then some hills.
[1648.2s] Some green spots leading away from some mountains.
[1654.8s] Okay, so we've got mountains, green spots, hills,
[1658.8s] mazes of things trying to kill us, tower with a lovely dragon at the top.
[1664.0s] Yeah.
[1665.0s] Neat.
[1666.2s] Could you be more specific about the mazes and things trying to kill us?
[1672.0s] I mean, I've never been through the maze before.
[1675.5s] They have a direct teleportation.
[1680.1s] Damn, I thought it was a tunnel system.
[1682.2s] No, no, that would be easy for you to get in there.
[1684.6s] You just have to find the end of the tunnel.
[1685.8s] But no, it's like a one-way, two-way transportation
[1690.6s] from the Well of the Dragons to Xanthal's Tower.
[1693.6s] So either you got to be in Xanthal's Tower
[1696.0s] or you got to be at the Well of the Dragons.
[1699.0s] Or you just got to fly over the maze.
[1702.5s] There's this thing called a barricade, like a magical barricade
[1706.2s] that makes you go through the maze.
[1709.1s] You can't go over it.
[1711.9s] You can't go around it.
[1714.5s] You got to go through it.
[1718.4s] Yeah, I mean, you could if you can dig really good.
[1721.8s] Yeah, so if you try and go over it,
[1727.1s] there's this extradimensional teleportation thing
[1732.0s] that happens and the thing disappears.
[1734.6s] The tower itself, that said.
[1736.7s] So you have to go into the maze in order to get to the tower.
[1742.5s] I'd like to say there's a way around it.
[1743.9s] I mean, you could try and dig,
[1745.0s] but I have a feeling that if you go over,
[1749.0s] it's going to be a similar thing going on.
[1750.7s] Oh, okay.
[1751.5s] Now, you said you've never been in the maze,
[1754.5s] but do you maybe happen to know the path through the maze?
[1758.7s] No, it's an ever-rotating, changing animal.
[1763.9s] They have it set up so that if one person goes in,
[1767.4s] it's not going to be necessarily the same
[1769.4s] for the next person or group to go in.
[1772.1s] It's wicked like that.
[1774.3s] Maze runner?
[1776.0s] Oh.
[1777.9s] Maze runner.
[1779.0s] Wicked.
[1779.7s] Because the maze always changes.
[1785.3s] Death care.
[1789.4s] Scorch trials.
[1791.2s] Fourth one.
[1793.2s] Yes, that other one.
[1799.8s] Hey there, I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More.
[1801.8s] Thank you so much for joining us for episode 46 of Dumbgeons and Dragons,
[1805.6s] titled An Interrogation and a Decision.
[1809.0s] I don't have a lot for you today,
[1810.2s] so I'll just start by saying a huge thank you to everyone
[1812.2s] for downloading and listening and supporting the show online
[1814.6s] by sharing links to episodes that they love
[1816.6s] and providing wonderful reviews on iTunes, Stitcher, and Podchaser,
[1820.3s] and anywhere else that you have been letting us know that you care.
[1823.4s] Really means a whole lot to us and certainly makes our day amazing
[1826.5s] when a random review pops up or someone joins our Facebook group
[1829.8s] and has such lovely things to say.
[1831.7s] And I mean, it feels like a bit of a poor segue,
[1833.6s] but if you like what we're doing and would like to support us directly,
[1836.6s] please visit our Patreon page, Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

[1867.8s] and test different systems, including the one right now
[1870.5s] we just started up, Fatecore, where we start from the very beginning
[1874.7s] and learn how to use the system and promptly forget
[1877.7s] in traditional Dumbgeons and Dragons fashion, obviously.
[1880.4s] But again, that's Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[1884.2s] Hope you're able to check it out.

[1900.1s] which is where you can link your friends, family,
[1902.6s] or anybody else you meet on the internet that you meet and chat with every day.

[1931.9s] And that's another thing that patrons have helped us get is Sirenscape.
[1935.5s] It's a subscription-based sound effects and music library that,
[1938.5s] because of Patreon donations,
[1940.2s] have enabled us to add a little extra to each episode each and every time.
[1945.1s] Links for everything mentioned today can be found in the description.
[1948.0s] The next episode will be out next week, August 1st.
[1950.8s] Let's get back to the episode right now, though,
[1952.6s] and get some interrogating done.
[1954.3s] Have a great week.
[1955.3s] We'll talk soon.
[1963.0s] Okay. I don't know about you guys, but...
[1967.1s] I mean, the maze sounds super dangerous, but I'm kind of into it.
[1969.8s] Oh, I like your attitude, Thea.
[1971.4s] All right.
[1971.8s] What I'd probably warn you is just make sure you're stocked up and ready to go.
[1977.8s] Because from, I mean, not many people make it out of the maze.
[1981.0s] So something tells me there's not a lot of downtime in the maze.
[1985.3s] Okay. Well, thanks.
[1987.7s] More good news from Varam.
[1989.4s] And no one had to get naked.
[1991.2s] No, no, I was trying to give you as much as I could, so nobody got naked.
[1995.7s] I mean...
[1997.5s] I just, I shoot him a big old wink.
[2001.8s] Jeepers Creepers.
[2004.8s] I mean, it's not Conjugal Visit Day, but...
[2008.1s] Out of curiosity, what day is Conjugal Visit Day?
[2012.6s] Do you position that to the guard?
[2014.2s] I was asking you as the DM.
[2017.8s] This is quite the prison if Varam's getting Conjugal.
[2021.0s] That's good.
[2023.5s] Well, he's in a private cell, too.
[2025.8s] There's only one.
[2026.9s] It's probably a Wednesday.
[2028.0s] Okay.
[2028.6s] Okay.
[2029.7s] What are the days of the week in...
[2031.4s] Oh, good question.
[2032.8s] Oh, that is a good question.
[2034.1s] Because I'm sure it's not lunar.
[2036.6s] It's not Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
[2037.8s] It's not like a Roman calendar thing going on here.
[2042.2s] Lindy, Marty, Meck...
[2045.8s] Well, I'm excited.
[2046.8s] This has nothing to do with anything.
[2048.3s] I know, but we're learning.
[2049.5s] Faerunian Standard is a 10-day week.
[2053.0s] Oh, God.
[2054.5s] So, you've got Chonday, Selday, Helmday, Ogday, Mizday, Kelday, Laffday, Sunaday,
[2066.2s] Lidey, and Shardday.
[2069.0s] Not to be confused with Shardday.
[2071.8s] Oh, that is a much different day.
[2073.4s] Completely different.
[2074.0s] Each for a different god.
[2078.5s] I could go through all the gods if you really want to.
[2080.6s] No, that's fine.
[2081.4s] Would you like the calendar as well, the months as well?
[2085.8s] Because I could correspond them to the appropriate months.
[2092.2s] January is Hammer.
[2094.2s] Description, Deep Winter.
[2096.2s] February is Alturiak, the Claws of Cold.
[2101.6s] Of course.
[2102.8s] March is Tres, which is of sunsets.
[2107.8s] April is Tarsak, which is of the storms.
[2111.2s] I'm going to refer to everyone's going to be like,
[2112.8s] Winter Birthday, and they'll be like,
[2113.9s] Tarsak.
[2114.3s] Sintarsak.
[2115.5s] Sintarsak.
[2116.7s] Mine's in the Claws of Winter, so...
[2119.1s] What was it?
[2119.8s] Claws of Cold?
[2121.9s] Alturiak, which is the Claws of Cold.
[2124.5s] Hammer guy myself.
[2125.8s] Yeah.
[2126.9s] May, Myrtle, which is the Melting.
[2130.1s] June, Kaithorn, which is the Time of Flowers.
[2133.0s] July, Flame Rule, which is Summer Tide.
[2137.3s] Then we've got August, which is Elysias, which is High Sun.
[2143.2s] September, Iliant, which is the Fading.
[2146.7s] October, Marpenoth, Leaffall.
[2151.1s] November, Uktar, which is the Rotting.
[2153.8s] December, Night Tall, which is the Drawing Down.
[2159.0s] The Drawing Down.
[2161.0s] This is very Northern Hemisphere centric.
[2166.9s] Yes.
[2167.6s] Yeah.
[2168.1s] Well, who doesn't like Four Seasons?
[2170.3s] Who doesn't like learning, like we just did?
[2171.8s] There is an elven variation of the Ten Day,
[2175.0s] which I will send to you for your own information.
[2178.3s] Oh, it looks like it's so much harder to say.
[2180.9s] Well, it's elven.
[2182.2s] So it's all the elven gods.
[2186.2s] Anyway, so that's your calendar update.
[2187.9s] And when is Conjugal Visit Day?
[2191.0s] It's a Wednesday.
[2192.1s] Which there is no Wednesday because it's a Ten Day.
[2194.2s] It's a Ten Day.
[2194.6s] What's wrong with you?
[2195.3s] Oh, fuck.
[2196.2s] Well, is there a fuck day?
[2200.1s] I think that is every day if you're asking flame against.
[2204.5s] Well, Og Day.
[2205.8s] Og Day, obviously, is Conjugal Visit Day.
[2209.0s] Classic Og Day.
[2210.2s] Yep.
[2212.6s] Obviously, because it's the day for Agma, the god of knowledge.
[2217.1s] Oh, yep, that's the one.
[2217.7s] I think it would be Cynidae, the god of beauty and love.
[2220.6s] Yeah, well, if I had read them all by that point,
[2222.6s] that would have been probably a better choice, but I didn't.
[2226.3s] It's canon now.
[2229.0s] It has been established.
[2232.8s] So there's your little bit of the world for this episode.
[2236.5s] All right.
[2237.0s] I like it.
[2237.8s] Yeah.
[2238.3s] Thank you, Varan.
[2239.0s] And we learned about a place off the map.
[2241.1s] We're learning so much about the world.
[2243.6s] The world is getting bigger and bigger.
[2244.6s] There's so much off the map, guys.
[2246.2s] So much.
[2248.8s] I can show you the world.
[2250.4s] All right.
[2250.8s] So you're good.
[2252.2s] What else do you need from me?
[2254.0s] You can get in through the maze.
[2256.4s] Can't go over, can't go under that I know of.
[2259.0s] And have to exit through the maze as well, obviously.
[2263.0s] No, you exit through the gift shop.
[2266.4s] Yeah, I mean.
[2267.6s] I don't know.
[2268.0s] Depending on how we're doing, maybe we want to.
[2270.3s] No, we don't want to go to the dragon.
[2272.2s] You probably don't want to go to the well of the dragons.
[2275.1s] If you make it to the tower, obviously,
[2277.1s] you're probably going to be beat up a little bit.
[2280.6s] But I don't know what.
[2281.9s] I don't know.
[2282.5s] Maybe they have other teleportations.
[2284.7s] The only one that I know of is the one to the well of the dragons.
[2288.7s] But Iskender, he's a pretty powerful wizard.
[2291.0s] Maybe he knows another way out.
[2293.0s] Maybe he can create another way out.
[2295.0s] Maybe.
[2295.7s] I can neither confirm nor deny.
[2297.9s] How many people are at that tower?
[2300.2s] Ballpark.
[2301.3s] Less than a ballpark.
[2302.5s] Less than a ballpark.
[2304.4s] I mean, you're not going to run into.
[2306.4s] I mean, there's some cultists that hang out there.
[2309.0s] They've got some.
[2309.8s] They've got the wizards, mages.
[2312.7s] They like to picnic in the death maze.
[2314.4s] Yeah.
[2316.4s] There's a lot of because there's wizards and mages.
[2319.3s] They, you know, they play around with different, you know, elements and.
[2324.0s] That sort of thing.
[2324.9s] So you're probably only going to run into a few cultists, but
[2329.4s] what they can drum up is probably going to be more of your concern.
[2333.3s] Okay.
[2333.7s] But we're not walking into an army.
[2335.6s] Oh, no.
[2336.4s] No, I mean, unless they've added stuff since the last time I was there.
[2340.2s] It's going to be your big hurdle is going to be the maze.
[2343.0s] And then once you're in there, it's.
[2345.3s] Those five wizards.
[2346.5s] The magic folks and what they've got placed around the building to protect themselves.
[2351.7s] There's traps, y'all.
[2352.5s] Well, this sounds great.
[2354.0s] Hey, do we know how the page boy got this letter?
[2358.9s] You didn't ask that question.
[2360.8s] I'd like to ask before we leave because it just seems kind of weird if,
[2364.9s] you know, nothing in, nothing out.
[2368.2s] This is a very good question.
[2369.6s] So let's leave around, see if we can get back to that.
[2374.2s] Well, I guess we'll go back to the council chamber and see if.
[2377.5s] Yeah, you head back up to the council chamber and some people have filtered out.
[2381.0s] Lady Silverhand is still there.
[2383.6s] A couple other members are still there.
[2386.4s] The boy is not there, but a quick look outside the building.
[2392.6s] You see him seated on the front steps.
[2395.8s] You there, boy.
[2397.0s] What day is it today?
[2400.2s] It's dog day.
[2401.4s] It's all day.
[2402.2s] I know because I had sex this morning.
[2406.9s] He's probably like 12.
[2408.1s] Thanks, Squire.
[2409.0s] Squires are like little boys, right?
[2418.1s] Sorry, what was the question?
[2421.8s] How did you, how did you get this letter?
[2423.6s] How did you come to get this?
[2425.8s] I'm obviously holding the letter because I took it with us.
[2431.3s] It was placed before me.
[2434.1s] By?
[2435.8s] I don't know.
[2437.4s] I was walking to my home and it shot out of the bricks in front of me.
[2443.8s] And then I heard a voice that I couldn't find a person to go with the voice.
[2450.6s] And it told me to take the letter here to the council.
[2457.4s] I've been traveling for many, many days to get here.
[2462.3s] From where?
[2463.4s] Where did you come from?
[2464.8s] I come from Subar, which is just north, you for your own information,
[2473.7s] just north of Scornuble, which you have been in in El Toro,
[2478.7s] if you remember back to the days of old and the original level one adventures that we had.
[2484.9s] So a magic letter.
[2488.7s] This voice in your head, was it a woman?
[2491.1s] It was a man.
[2492.7s] He sounded panicked and rushed.
[2495.8s] That was probably Iskander.
[2497.6s] Well, it doesn't seem like less or more of a trap now than it did before, so.
[2502.0s] No, I was just hoping that maybe if it came from a specific place,
[2506.7s] we might be able to, I don't know, get through that way something.
[2512.2s] I don't know.
[2512.6s] It just seemed like a good thing to know.
[2514.6s] Thank you, boy.
[2515.6s] Of course.
[2516.2s] Go along your way.
[2517.4s] Thank you.
[2517.8s] You need to stay seated in the place where he was sitting.
[2521.4s] Right, because you were here to begin with.
[2522.9s] Yeah, that's fine.
[2524.0s] You've been traveling for a long time, you take it easy.
[2526.2s] I said go on your way, boy.
[2530.7s] Walks ten paces and sits on the side.
[2536.4s] Of course, of course.
[2537.4s] Okay, well, should we hop on this giant owl that is already waiting for us and like,
[2542.5s] go a long way?
[2544.2s] Or we could take an airship.
[2546.0s] Oh, right, airship.
[2546.9s] That's a good option.
[2548.4s] Because I'm not entirely sure how long it would take on an owl.
[2551.5s] And that's a return option where the owl might not be.
[2555.1s] Uh, yes, absolutely.
[2557.6s] So you're going to where the airships are.
[2560.6s] Parked?
[2563.1s] Yeah.
[2563.8s] Yeah.
[2564.1s] They just kind of roam free-range.
[2565.7s] Is there anything you guys want to do before you do that?
[2569.0s] I don't know.
[2569.4s] I think I'm okay.
[2570.2s] How about you guys?
[2572.3s] I seem to be good, I think.
[2575.0s] I'm trying to think if there's any one else that we should see.
[2579.2s] I think it's time to do what we do best.
[2583.0s] Walk into a trap.
[2584.2s] Wait, should we bring Flamikins and Thaddeus with us?
[2588.8s] Yes, probably.
[2591.0s] More the merrier.
[2593.1s] Yes.
[2593.6s] Okay, yeah.
[2594.6s] I think so, Mulara.
[2596.7s] I guess out of game rush, should we?
[2599.3s] This is more a question for you.
[2601.9s] You're more than welcome to.
[2603.2s] I was just going with what you guys were telling me to do.
[2606.1s] Straight up, I think that we almost died and some of us did die a couple of times.
[2612.0s] With their help last time.
[2612.6s] And we had their help.
[2614.3s] Yeah.
[2614.6s] I think having a wizard and a fucked up little goblin is probably probably just good to have.
[2623.0s] Just, you know.
[2624.6s] Yeah, let's go get them and see if they want to come.
[2629.0s] Because maybe Flamikins is ready to hit the open seas.
[2631.6s] Get on a boat.
[2632.7s] Yeah, and maybe Thaddeus needs to deal with those grungs.
[2637.6s] Who knows?
[2638.2s] But let's go see them and ask.
[2644.1s] So who do you try and go get first?
[2648.1s] Flamikins.
[2649.0s] All right, so you head back to your chambers and where you were staying.
[2655.1s] And you knock on her door and there is no answer there.
[2659.3s] I knock a little harder because she drank hardest out of all of us.
[2662.2s] And I bet she's still sleeping.
[2663.8s] Yeah, you knock and there's still no answer.
[2665.8s] Can you try the handle?
[2667.7s] Yeah, it's unlocked.
[2669.1s] I look in.
[2671.0s] It doesn't appear that she is in there.
[2674.0s] Is there stuff in there?
[2675.7s] She didn't have much stuff to begin with.
[2677.8s] But no, there's no, doesn't look like there's a bag or anything.
[2682.0s] Bitch left though saying goodbye.
[2684.5s] Well, she did want to get back on the open seas.
[2688.1s] I think so.
[2688.6s] I'm gonna miss that little pervert.
[2693.5s] I know.
[2698.4s] Okay, I guess let's try Thaddeus.
[2701.9s] Yeah, you know where he told you where he lived.
[2705.8s] Whether you remember that or not is, I guess, up to you guys.
[2709.4s] Maybe roll for remembering.
[2712.9s] 12.
[2713.2s] Okay, 15.
[2716.6s] Two.
[2718.6s] Yeah, Nularaaa and Thea, you remember whereabouts he lives.
[2724.2s] And you get to his place and knock on the door.
[2727.0s] And it takes a little while, a couple knocks.
[2728.9s] And he, you hear stumbling from inside and he opens the door and says,
[2732.7s] Oh, hi, what's the, what's the, is it go time?
[2739.3s] It's go time for us.
[2740.6s] Are you gonna come with us?
[2742.9s] Uh, yeah.
[2747.2s] Do you want to know what you're in for first?
[2749.2s] Sure.
[2749.8s] What do you got?
[2751.2s] We've got a bunch of wizards.
[2755.5s] We've got a maze full of things that want to kill us.
[2762.1s] So almost certain death, but some adventure along the way.
[2766.7s] And hopefully a blue dragon mask at the end.
[2769.5s] All right.
[2770.3s] All right.
[2770.9s] Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2774.7s] I mean, let me grab my bag.
[2777.1s] Let's do this.
[2778.3s] Is he drunk?
[2780.9s] I'm in a roll of perception.
[2783.1s] 18.
[2784.5s] He doesn't, I mean, he looks intoxicated in some way, shape or form, but.
[2788.5s] I feel like he has to fly the damn ship.
[2790.0s] No, no, he was wearing kind of, you see him tuck back into his room.
[2797.6s] And he comes back out and he's got like adventuring clothes on, but he has put on his robe and
[2806.3s] he's like, I'm not going and not being comfortable.
[2811.0s] Oh, this is the fancy gold robe.
[2813.2s] Yeah.
[2815.0s] And he, uh, he slings his bag over and can't forget my frogs.
[2819.0s] He pats his bag.
[2821.5s] All right.
[2822.0s] He locks up his door and says, lead the way.
[2823.8s] Where are we going?
[2824.6s] Got an owl or something.
[2830.2s] We're doing airships.
[2831.5s] Oh, fuck.
[2833.0s] You're an airship again?
[2835.2s] Okay.
[2835.4s] Don't crash at this time.
[2836.7s] And you guys head back to where the airships are Mored and you, uh, you see someone
[2842.7s] who looks like they're in charge, kind of a higher up airship captain.
[2848.6s] Excuse me, captain.
[2850.6s] Yeah.
[2851.8s] We need your finest air vessel.
[2854.2s] You hear a voice from up in one of the airships and she goes, fuck yeah, bud.
[2859.6s] Let's go get some shit done.
[2861.9s] Yay.
[2863.1s] I'm an air pirate now.
[2871.9s] Music in today's episode was by Kavin McLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io.
[2887.5s] Have we ever, have we ever mentioned the fae before Russ?
[2891.6s] Have they come up at all?
[2892.4s] Didn't they wreck like, didn't this have to do with the lizard people, the frogs?
[2898.1s] So yes, everybody roll for what notes you might've rolling down.
[2905.2s] 16.
[2906.2s] 14.
[2907.4s] You hadn't rolled dice in a while.
[2909.0s] So yeah, you've heard of the wizards of the fae basically since the beginning.
[2915.2s] They've been kind of hand in hand with the cult of the dragon.
[2919.9s] Yeah.
[2920.2s] Like, aren't they bad guys?
[2922.5s] Maybe ask that.
[2923.4s] Aren't the wizards of the fae bad guys?
[2931.3s] What do you want from me, Amy?
[2932.4s] That was wonderful.
[2934.0s] There's just a long pause and it was like, character voice.
[2939.3s] That was the most Clint McElroy switch from regular voice to character voice I've ever
[2944.3s] seen.
[2945.4s] There's a Francis.
[2951.7s] Did he, did he?
[2953.8s] Hold on.
[2956.1s] No.
[2956.6s] No, don't get into it.
[2957.5s] It's fine.
[2958.1s] No, hold on.
[2958.7s] No, it's fine.
[2959.6s] No, it's necessary.
[2961.1s] Hold on.
[2961.8s] Oh no, it's necessary.
[2964.5s] Necessary.
[2965.8s] I just have to make sure I get the details right.
[2968.6s] Hold on.
[2969.4s] The sad, sad details we did not know.
[2973.6s] After we do the solo Grancis F, it would be, we'd know all of this.
[2977.9s] That's why I couldn't do this before, obviously.
[2981.3s] Obviously.
[2982.3s] Obviously.
[2983.4s] Look guys, he's an amoeba.
[2987.9s] Single cell.
[2991.3s] Just staring.
[2991.9s] I did not, I did not.
[2994.7s] I mean solid, but I was not there.
[2998.0s] It's like Tom's frozen joke from apparently.
[3002.2s] Nobody acknowledged it.
[3004.4s] I may not have heard it.
[3005.4s] I like a good frozen joke.
[3008.2s] It happens to Tom a lot.
[3010.2s] I don't know.
[3010.6s] There's a lot of times when I'm editing through, I'm like, oh, that's a good joke, Tom.
[3015.4s] Why didn't we laugh?
[3019.3s] Getch my drift.
[3021.6s] A lot of time for short or long rests.
[3024.4s] Oh no, we got it.
[3025.3s] You know what I'm saying?
[3026.7s] Yeah, no, I get it.
[3027.9s] Okay.
[3029.3s] Yeah, where are you from?
[3031.8s] I come from the land down under.
[3034.2s] That's exactly how you said that.
[3039.9s] Are there Vegemite Sandwiches down there?
[3043.8s] As a matter of fact.
[3045.3s] It was probably.
[3051.0s] Iskander.
[3051.5s] Get the tire.
[3052.4s] What?
[3053.0s] Iskander.
[3053.5s] Iskander.
[3054.6s] It's probably just Ichiban.
[3057.3s] Sapporo Ichiban?
[3058.6s] Oh, Sapporo.
