00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,399
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
You have been requested by the Wizards of Thay.

3
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Aren't the Wizards of Thay bad guys?

4
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Yes. The Wizards of Thay have been known to be helping the Cult of the Dragon in the rise of Tiamat.

5
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
But we have been approached by one such wizard, Nigh Ilmich.

6
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:57,000
And they give us their word that the Wizards that are helping the Cult of the Dragon are exiles of...

7
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Varram, there's these guys here to see you.

8
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
I had a couple questions about, what is it, Xanthal's tower?

9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
What are you heading there for?

10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:12,000
A letter from Iskander. He says he can score us the blue dragon mask. Do you think it sounds like a trap?

11
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Iskander was more open to questioning what's going on.

12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
It's not unheard of for them to give those sorts of artifacts to that group at that tower.

13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,000
So, I mean, that checks out.

14
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Anything we need to know about this tower?

15
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
It's a tower. A big open courtyard.

16
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Big open courtyard surrounded by a maze of endless things that are trying to kill you.

17
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And then some hills. You guys head back to where the airships are Mored.

18
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
You hear a voice from up in one of the airships and she goes,

19
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Fuck yeah, bud! Let's go get some shit done!

20
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Yay!

21
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
I'm an air pirate now!

22
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

23
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
We are a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast and I'm your dungeon master Russ More.

24
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
With me today is Amy More.

25
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Yes! I'm a smartass and I play Thea Amastasia.

26
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Also with us, Carla Johnson.

27
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Yes! Amy is a smartass and I play new Laura Moonbread.

28
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
She doesn't give a descriptor of yourself.

29
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Last but not least, Tom Laird.

30
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Yes! Amy is the smartest smartass and I play Flint Firebeard.

31
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
That backfired on me.

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Yeah. You didn't see it coming.

33
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
No, I didn't.

34
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
But knowing the crowd, you probably should have.

35
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
How are you guys? And girls? And people?

36
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Doing well.

37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Me, I've been taking down a notch so slightly demurred.

38
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I didn't think any of that was insulting. I thought it was compliment.

39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
You are a smartass.

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
You really are.

41
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
It's one of your best characteristics.

42
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
The best of all the smartasses.

43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Exactly.

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Just had a feeling like we weren't recording, but we are recording.

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Oh, thank God. We would have missed that.

46
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Right?

47
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
That energy.

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
I got the intro right and everything.

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
You did. I'm so proud of you.

50
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Yeah, I'm pretty good like that.

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Almost episode 50. He finally gets the intro right.

52
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Guys, it's almost episode 50.

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Holy shit.

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
That's pretty wild.

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
You know, this whole going weekly thing really escalated how soon we thought we would get to episode 50.

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Because before we were like, oh, by December.

57
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Like, no.

58
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Yeah.

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
No, definitely not by December.

60
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
By September.

61
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Yeah.

62
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
So, I mean, I said it, we went weekly. We haven't officially announced it, but.

63
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Is it the official announcement?

64
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I think we stumbled backwards into it, but.

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Do you mean I didn't spoil it on our monthly goop chat this time?

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Yeah, but that's that's that's Patreon.

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
So they get they get the inside scoop a little bit earlier, which we'll talk about momentarily.

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:58,000
But I think it's safe to say that we are now considered a weekly podcast until I fuck it up somehow.

69
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Until proven otherwise in a court of law.

70
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Yeah. Yeah.

71
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,000
So welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons, the weekly D&D fifth edition actual play podcast.

72
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Now you're just showing off.

73
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Yeah.

74
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Yes.

75
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Doing it correct.

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Just like bang, bang, bang.

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Twice.

78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Yeah.

79
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Love it.

80
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
So good.

81
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
And speaking of Patreon, which we were before that.

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
To circle back.

83
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
To circle back.

84
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,000
As they say in the executive industry, circle back, loop in, bring around.

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
These are all buzzwords.

86
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Getting perilously close to something inappropriate.

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
I was going to say the reach around.

88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
That's the one Amy.

89
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
There it is.

90
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Right there.

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
We're trying to skirt around.

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,000
We're no longer perilously close.

93
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
We are right on the nose.

94
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
We are right there.

95
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,000
So Patreon.

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Somebody say something about Patreon because it's pretty awesome.

97
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Our patrons are the best.

98
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
That is true.

99
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
They really are.

100
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Well, I'd certainly agree with that.

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Yeah.

102
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
So listener, if you think you are also the best, you should be one of our patrons.

103
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I mean, we only collect the best.

104
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Our listeners are also the best.

105
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Well, that's true.

106
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Yeah.

107
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
On Patreon for being the best, you get a whole bunch of cool stuff.

108
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
That's true.

109
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Like bonus episodes.

110
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
I mean, now we're weekly.

111
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
So bonus episodes.

112
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
That means you get like five episodes a month.

113
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Whoa.

114
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
That's a lot of us.

115
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
That's more of us than.

116
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Quite frankly, I care to hear.

117
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
I'm glad our listeners think differently.

118
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
I know we're supposed to be trying to convince people to do this.

119
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
No, we're going to pull the Amy and just drive right over the edge.

120
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Yeah.

121
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
So part of those bonus episodes.

122
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Tom ran.

123
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Tom ran a full, a full arc of 11 episodes.

124
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
That's all up there.

125
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Ready for you to follow in the lovely characters.

126
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Opal, Elia.

127
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
And Nighthunter.

128
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Yeah, there you go.

129
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
You almost forgot my character.

130
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000
I mean, it was my least favorite character.

131
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Brutal.

132
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
She was my favorite character.

133
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
She was giving you ships.

134
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
She was a very good character.

135
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
And we understand that if you can't be part of Patreon,

136
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
that you too are a wonderful and fantastic person.

137
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And we still think you're the best.

138
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
And super good looking.

139
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Yeah.

140
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
No, that's totally all good.

141
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Yeah.

142
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
We totally understand that.

143
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,000
If there's other ways that you can support us by just talking about us on the internet or to your mailman.

144
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Yeah.

145
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Tweeting us out and whatnot, how the Twitter works.

146
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Or if you don't like, yeah,

147
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
if you don't like contact with people in the real world,

148
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
you could leave us a review on iTunes.

149
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Also.

150
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Nice.

151
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Nice segue there, Tom.

152
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
I like that.

153
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Fuck it, guys.

154
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Let's play D&D.

155
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Oh, we are going to play today.

156
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
It's happening.

157
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
So you guys find yourselves in the docking station for the airships.

158
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
And Flammikins has just screamed down at you.

159
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Hey, guys, I'm going to be an air pirate.

160
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Flammikins?

161
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Yeah.

162
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I'm going to fly around in the skies.

163
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Oh, yeah.

164
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
You flying with us, girl?

165
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I don't know where you're going.

166
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Help.

167
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
I need an adult.

168
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
I don't know where I'm going.

169
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Some tower.

170
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
I can't remember the dude's name.

171
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Zanthal.

172
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Zanthal.

173
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Zanthal.

174
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Zanthal.

175
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
We're going to Zanthal's tower.

176
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
It's surrounded by a magical barricade.

177
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Maze.

178
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
And like a killer garden.

179
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Yes.

180
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
A killer garden.

181
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Yes.

182
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Zanthal's tower.

183
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Yeah.

184
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
With the magical maze.

185
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
You can't fly over it and you can't tunnel under it.

186
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Nobody ever makes it out alive.

187
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Why are you whispering?

188
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
I'm all the way up here.

189
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Oh, sorry.

190
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
And nobody makes it out alive.

191
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000
You into it?

192
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000
That sounds dangerous as fuck.

193
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
I don't know where it is, but I bet you the captain does.

194
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
What's your job up there?

195
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
I haven't told them that I'm here yet.

196
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Fair enough.

197
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,000
So I'm going to have to break that to her shortly, I think.

198
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Yeah.

199
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Come on up.

200
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Is there a rope ladder or stairs?

201
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Yeah, how do we?

202
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Do we get beamed up?

203
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Yeah, there's a rope ladder right there, guys.

204
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
You look and there's a rope ladder right there.

205
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
I climb up the rope ladder.

206
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Ditto.

207
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I wasn't asking her in game.

208
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
I obviously know how to get in the airship.

209
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000
No, it's in game now.

210
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
We've done it before.

211
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
We no longer talk out of game.

212
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Oh, wow.

213
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Okay.

214
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Okay.

215
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Okay, I'm coming up.

216
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Climb the rope ladder.

217
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:28,000
So you climb up into the airship and you are greeted by a excited Flamikins who says,

218
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Yeah, let's just escort you over here to the captain because I belong here.

219
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
And we'll just see if it works.

220
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
You're with us now.

221
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
You don't need like, it's fine.

222
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
She's steward Flamikins.

223
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Right.

224
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Okay.

225
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Yeah, that makes sense.

226
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Hey, which one of you is the captain?

227
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Everybody kind of looks to you and they just point up to the top, like a top deck on the on the ship there.

228
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000
And there's a human female who's looking down at a map.

229
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Let's go talk to her.

230
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
I walk up and I say, ahoy matey.

231
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Love it already.

232
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Can I help you?

233
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Yeah.

234
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
No, we need to go to Xanthal's Tower.

235
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
We're looking to get to Xanthal's Tower.

236
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
We're hoping you can give us a ride.

237
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Okay.

238
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:28,000
You know that's like right in like getting into cult territory there, right?

239
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
That's the whole idea.

240
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Oh, maybe we should introduce ourselves.

241
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Maybe that will clear it up.

242
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
I'm Nulara.

243
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
I'm Thea.

244
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And Flint.

245
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Because we're famous now.

246
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Flamikins!

247
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
She says, oh, right.

248
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Sorry.

249
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Yes, of course.

250
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Don't know Flamikins, but she's the best.

251
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
She is the best.

252
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Thaddeus is like, yeah, I'm Thaddeus too.

253
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Oh yeah, right.

254
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Thaddeus is there too.

255
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Oh, I forgot Thaddeus.

256
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
You guys, you guys invited me.

257
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
I went by his house and he wasn't home.

258
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
It was Flamikins who wasn't home.

259
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Flamikins who wasn't there.

260
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And what's your name, captain?

261
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Captain Catherine Neff.

262
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Can I call you a cat?

263
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Yeah, sure.

264
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Ah, thanks.

265
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000
I like that it's cat Neff.

266
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Cat Neff?

267
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
It's like catness, but with a lisp?

268
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Cat Neff ever do.

269
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Cat Neff.

270
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Captain Catherine Neff.

271
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Pleasure to meet you all.

272
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Nice to meet you as well.

273
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
When do you think we can leave?

274
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Well, we're just getting our fleets ready to go about Faerun

275
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
and try and find any people that we can bring back here.

276
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000
As you can see, and you look around and there's a ton of ships.

277
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
There are at least 50 ships, which is a lot of airships to be all in one place.

278
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:02,000
She says we're going to be going out in the fleet and spreading off as we go as it's safe.

279
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Your stop, Xanthl's Tower, and she points to a map, would be about the farthest we'd want to go.

280
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
So we'll see how it gets as we get closer to there.

281
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:21,000
We may have to drop you a little bit before that, but we'll figure that out as we go, as long as that's all right with you.

282
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
As you're the captain.

283
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
As close as we can get.

284
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Are we and the captain, are we going to make it happen?

285
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
I am the captain now.

286
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Sorry, yes, Follumikins, I interrupted you.

287
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
I don't know.

288
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
I just didn't understand why Flint wants to be the captain.

289
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:47,000
I mean, I was going to try and make my move right there, but all right.

290
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
You and me, Captain, we'll talk later.

291
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
All right.

292
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Well, Follumikins, you didn't see Captain Phillips.

293
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Come on.

294
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
It's been a while.

295
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
It's been a while.

296
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
And it was very intense.

297
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
So, you know, you try and block intense memories.

298
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
All this movie chat.

299
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
We're going to turn into a movie review podcast.

300
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000
I mean, we're not there already, but all right.

301
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Captain Neff says if there's if you can make yourselves at home below or just hang out up here.

302
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,000
I mean, the trip will probably take a few days to get down there.

303
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000
So as long as you can help out, you're welcome aboard.

304
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Sure. What can we help out with?

305
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Well, nothing right now.

306
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000
But all right. Fair enough.

307
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000
OK, well, that's your answer forever.

308
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
I only offer one chance.

309
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
You guys are just killing time until you go.

310
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Oh, God. Does it?

311
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:52,000
I mean, is it a is there a lot of diversity in the airships or is this like it's basically the same as the other one?

312
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Is it worth checking out? Sure.

313
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Is this one cooler?

314
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Is there a lab in the bottom?

315
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
A lab? Yeah, like a science lab.

316
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Yes. Go check.

317
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
OK, I go and explore.

318
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Do I have to roll for science lab investigation?

319
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
No, but I can't tell you if there's a science lab if you're standing on the deck.

320
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Fair enough. I go below.

321
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
OK, you're going below.

322
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Nularaaaa, you're looking at what the ship looks like.

323
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Yeah, like how big is it?

324
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Because I pictured the other one not like there was just a few of us on it.

325
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Francis's ship was more like a like a a few people sailboat type of thing.

326
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000
So it had enough for everybody to sleep in a small galley.

327
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
This one has it looks like like 50 people that crew this one ship.

328
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
So it's quite a massive ship and there are varying sizes of ships all around.

329
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:51,000
But this one is quite large and it has a large sculpture of a bear on the front

330
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,000
and large airship balloon above.

331
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
And it's crafted from nice petrified wood and rich mahogany's and whatnot.

332
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
I was just. Rich mahogany's.

333
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Yeah. Yeah. All throughout.

334
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Petrified wood is extremely heavy.

335
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
How does this affect the buoyancy like the air?

336
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Magic. Oh, right.

337
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Love D&D because whenever you need an explanation or something, it's just magic.

338
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
It's a high magic world.

339
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Can I go look at that bear and see if there's an explanatory plaque or anything?

340
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000
You love you love a good explanatory plaque.

341
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Who doesn't?

342
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
An explanatory plaque.

343
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Like if they had QR codes in D&D,

344
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Carla would be snapping all those on her fucking phone.

345
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Do you have an audio tour I can listen to?

346
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
So you're going to go look at the bear.

347
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
You're down below. Flint, what are you doing?

348
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Is there like a crow's nest or anything up at the top that I can go like stand out

349
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
and look at like one of those old timey like telescopes with?

350
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Oh, sure.

351
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Whatever you want to call it.

352
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Yeah. Yeah.

353
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000
There's a there's a spot that's exactly described as what you were looking for.

354
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
So you climb up the ladder.

355
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Perfect.

356
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,000
There's one one gentleman up there and he as you step up to the top,

357
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,000
he kind of jumps.

358
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
He's like, oh, what are you?

359
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Who are you? What are you in here?

360
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
My name's Flint.

361
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
It's Flint.

362
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
I just wanted to come have a look around.

363
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Can't beat this view.

364
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Flint, Flint, the fire beard.

365
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Flint fire beard. Yep.

366
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000
That's my name.

367
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Oh snap.

368
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Nice to meet you there, sir.

369
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Nice to meet you, too.

370
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
What's your name?

371
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Ah, Cyril.

372
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Well, Cyril, I'd shake your hand,

373
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
but clearly you're busy with all those ropes.

374
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
He looks at his hands like I do.

375
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
I do have ropes.

376
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
What are you doing up here?

377
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Yes, and I just came up for a look.

378
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
I always I always like that top view that you can't get anywhere else.

379
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Oh, kids like no other.

380
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
This is why I hang out way up here.

381
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
And he's like, here, help me with these ropes.

382
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And he throws you the ropes.

383
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
And I do whatever he needs me to do with those ropes.

384
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
So I lower them.

385
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Do I coil them?

386
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I have no idea.

387
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Lots of knots.

388
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Yeah.

389
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Oh, lots of knots.

390
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
You see him as you start tying knots.

391
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
He just kind of his rope wrapping it around, just coiling it up.

392
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
What are you doing to my rope?

393
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
I thought a good dwarven knot would be a good one for this rope.

394
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Oh, OK.

395
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Well, you do you, man.

396
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Yeah.

397
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
No.

398
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Anytime you want to come look at the view.

399
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000
I got the looky looky-loo device there.

400
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Is that what we call it in this universe?

401
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Yep, that's the one.

402
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Well, yeah, let me have a look at this here looky-loo device.

403
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
It's like almost the creepiest name you could have chosen, isn't it?

404
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
We call it the voyeur device.

405
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Oh.

406
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Do we?

407
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000
OK.

408
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,000
All right.

409
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Well, I mean, I'm uncomfortable with it, but I'm on board still.

410
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Point it into the stateroom.

411
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
So what are the other airships that dock nearby?

412
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
OK, Cyril, you freak.

413
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
What's going on here?

414
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Well, there's a reason only I'm up here usually by myself.

415
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Gross.

416
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
OK, swallow your water.

417
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Dumb dragon fart hash hash.

418
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
That one would have got me too.

419
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
My tongue is numb from holding the bubbly water.

420
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
The bubbly water for so long.

421
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
It's burning my tongue.

422
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
That was a lot of real good like one right after the other.

423
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
You want to swallow the water and then you're like, we call this a voyeur device.

424
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
And I lost it.

425
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Also, yes, disgusting name.

426
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
I used the creepily named looky-loo.

427
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
And where am I looking?

428
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
I don't know which way you're looking.

429
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
I will say south.

430
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
I'm looking south.

431
00:17:51,000 --> 00:18:00,000
You can see you look to the south and you see a stream of caravans that are coming up the coast and into water deep.

432
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Varying sizes and looks like they've got tattered wear like they've been traveling for quite a while.

433
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Some of them have like scorched caravans, scorched vehicles, as you could say.

434
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Do I notice any like symbols or anything that I might recognize on these caravans?

435
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Nothing of note, really.

436
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
No major cities insignias or groups insignias.

437
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
There's no, yeah, like dwarven clan insignias or anything on these?

438
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
No, not that you can tell from where you're looking.

439
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Does it seem like bedraggled like a refugee caravan kind of thing?

440
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Most of them. Yeah.

441
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Like they've come perhaps from either from battle or from escaping cities that have been attacked.

442
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,000
That's kind of the attire and state that you see these groups in.

443
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
All right.

444
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
While you're hanging out there with Cyril, looky-loo.

445
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
OK, you're going down underneath. Yeah.

446
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:07,000
So you head down to the to the body of the ship.

447
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
I don't know what ships are called. I should have looked up ship names.

448
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
We've been on enough ships that I actually think I'd figure this out.

449
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
But yeah, you get down and there's several levels.

450
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
The hull is the hull would be like the outside.

451
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
I don't know what body I'm pretty sure it's body.

452
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
It's body. Yeah, body.

453
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:37,000
So you walk past like the galley and some quarters and there's like a common room where it looks like people are set up just to kind of rest.

454
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:46,000
If they were so if they so desired and nobody's in there currently, they're all they should all be bustling about getting ready to bust someone's ass.

455
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Nobody's in there right now.

456
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:57,000
And you go down to the next level and there is what were you looking for?

457
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Science lab lab. Oh, OK.

458
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000
It's a weird secret lab.

459
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000
OK, yeah, you go down to the second level and it looks like more just storage areas.

460
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And then you go down to the third level and just roll me a D20.

461
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Oh, first. Do better.

462
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000
It's fucking two and there's a secret science lab down there.

463
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:35,000
It's not secret, but there is some sort of it looks like a laboratory or some sort of magical alchemical area.

464
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
And then there is, of course, some someone in there.

465
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,000
I was like, yeah. Who do I see? Man, woman, child, prodigy.

466
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
It's a woman. Hey there.

467
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
And she's working with some some some things.

468
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
And she looks up and says, oh, welcome, welcome.

469
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Who what are you doing down all the way down here, Miss?

470
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Yeah, Miss Thea, Miss Thea.

471
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Of the of the things in the safe, this people saving people.

472
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Yeah, I guess I'm the owl in that group.

473
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,000
You don't look like an owl. Oh, yeah, but I'm wise.

474
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
We'll see.

475
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
No, we probably won't. What you working on here?

476
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Oh, I'm just getting some some some armaments ready.

477
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
You know, just in case we need to battle the cult.

478
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Are you are you creating them with alchemy and magic?

479
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
I don't know why you teach me.

480
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
I don't know why you're saying them like that. But yeah, yeah, sure.

481
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Well, I have magic.

482
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000
I have you know, I know I know a little bit of magic,

483
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,000
but I've never dealt with any sort of alchemy or potions really before.

484
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Can you show me some stuff?

485
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
We do have a bad track record with potions.

486
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000
It's true. So if I can know a little more about them, that'd be great.

487
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Yeah, well, sure. Yeah. OK.

488
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000
She's like, I can't believe it's taken this turn.

489
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000
That's OK. Now I have to teach her about potions.

490
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
So she shows you what she's working on.

491
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,000
And it looks it looks more or less like a round sphere.

492
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
It is a round sphere with a hard exterior.

493
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000
And she's like, so what you do is you take one of these

494
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,000
and she lifts one up and it's very heavy plunks down

495
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000
and you put some chemicals in there, some things, some ingredients.

496
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
And then when you fire it,

497
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
it blows up.

498
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
So you're making cannonballs?

499
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Yeah. But ones that blow up.

500
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
All right. Do you want to do you want to know which kind?

501
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Yeah. All right. So she begins.

502
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000
She begins showing you all the various directions and ingredients

503
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
on how to make these explodey cannonballs.

504
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
And it's glorious how much information you gain from that.

505
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
In fact, so much so that you feel that you know how to,

506
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
with a proper roll, build an explodey cannonball.

507
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Oh, I'm going to call it an explodey ball.

508
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
So whenever you're crafting an explodey ball,

509
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:32,000
you have to roll a DC 16 using your wisdom modifier.

510
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Roll a D12?

511
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
D20. Can't get higher than...

512
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
You're going to have a hard time beating a 16 if you only roll a D12.

513
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
That's true. But I swear you said D12.

514
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I said a DC 16, a difficulty class of 16.

515
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Oh, I'm confused. Roll a difficulty class 16?

516
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
So you have to beat a 16 or greater in making it.

517
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000
If you don't get 16 or greater, if it gets like much lower,

518
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
it may just blow up.

519
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
If it gets like anywhere in the middle,

520
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000
there will probably be like a minor inconvenience that comes along with it.

521
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Like either it doesn't work or it does something that you don't want it to do.

522
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Neat.

523
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Dyes your skin yellow.

524
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Yeah, no big deal.

525
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
So you've learned this.

526
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Cool.

527
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Great. Back.

528
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
And what is your name?

529
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Yeah, my name.

530
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Coming up with a whole bunch of names this game.

531
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
My name is Mary Ellen Donnell.

532
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
It's very nice to meet you, Mary Ellen.

533
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Very nice to meet you too, Thea.

534
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
You use this explodey ball thing for good, okay?

535
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Oh, you betcha.

536
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
I should have probably, you know,

537
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
given you a test or something before giving you all this very important

538
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
information.

539
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Okay.

540
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
She's famous.

541
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Yeah, exactly.

542
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,000
It's all been a long con just so she could get this explodey ball recipe.

543
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,000
So, okay.

544
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
So by this point,

545
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,000
we're going to say that as long as you guys don't need anything in

546
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
water deep, we have set off now.

547
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Yes.

548
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Okay.

549
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
So I don't think I don't think I need anything.

550
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
I think we got on the ship with the intent of ready to go.

551
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Yeah, sure.

552
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Yeah, I agree.

553
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
So the entire airship fleet moves out and New Laura,

554
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
you're up looking at this carving of this bear.

555
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
You don't see any sort of plaque around it.

556
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Kate, how big is it?

557
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Like life size?

558
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Like bigger than me?

559
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Yeah, it's a fairly large ship.

560
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
So it's it's much bigger.

561
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Yeah, it's probably I would say the size of a large bear.

562
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,000
So much bigger.

563
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Is it just like a masthead thing that I don't actually need any explanation for?

564
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I mean, it is a masthead thing.

565
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Yeah, it's like how they had mermaids on.

566
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Yeah.

567
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Is someone wandering past?

568
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Yep.

569
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Yep.

570
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
There's an older guy swabbing the deck.

571
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
So that hasn't really advanced very far in his airship career.

572
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
He's still swabbing the deck as a senior.

573
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Yeah.

574
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Sorry.

575
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
It's his post retirement job, I'm sure.

576
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Exactly.

577
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Kate, how close is he?

578
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
He's like right beside you.

579
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
OK.

580
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Hey, excuse me.

581
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Yeah.

582
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Yes.

583
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
What's the what's the story with the bear?

584
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Why a bear?

585
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Well, the name name of the ship here is and a few others go by.

586
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Well, very similar names within the fleet here.

587
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
But this is the bear totem ship.

588
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
So there are different totem ships within our fleet.

589
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And ours is graced by the power of the bear.

590
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000
It's one of the strongest ships in the fleet.

591
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Well, thank you.

592
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Oh, you're welcome.

593
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
I don't really need to know more than that.

594
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
I'm going to keep wandering around and looking at things.

595
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,000
All right.

596
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Do you maybe like critique his swabbing abilities?

597
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,000
I don't know.

598
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
I think I'm like kind of filthy, so probably.

599
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,000
OK.

600
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000
All right.

601
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,000
I think you are as like a fastidious individual.

602
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
What's Thaddeus and Flamikins doing?

603
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Flamikins is like trying to work her angle on the ship captain you see over.

604
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
To like give up her captain title.

605
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
You overhear little bits like I'm a great pirate.

606
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
I know how to do things.

607
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:22,000
And things like I clean the decks and things like I'll just hang around and it'll be OK.

608
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,000
It's getting like less and less responsibility as it goes.

609
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:34,000
And Thaddeus is he appears to have found some older guy, you know, someone of like-minded spirit.

610
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,000
And he seems to be token up a little bit.

611
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Just taking in the sights.

612
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:50,000
You guys are you have left Waterdeep and you are traveling south towards your final destination, Zanthal's Tower.

613
00:27:50,000 --> 00:28:00,000
And you've been traveling for about a day and many of the airships have split off at different cities as you've passed.

614
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Some some look like they have been more or less untouched.

615
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Others look like there have been raids or attacks that have happened there.

616
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:19,000
So they go in and drop down and help out and remove people and bring them back to Waterdeep as they so need.

617
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:31,000
After the second day, you're traveling over the Highmoor, which is just before you get to the Serpent Hills where you guys were.

618
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Everybody make a perception check.

619
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Oh, no, I aimed it, y'all.

620
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
This dice rolls fucking weird.

621
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
All the edges are rounded.

622
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000
It's almost a sphere.

623
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Oh, interesting.

624
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,000
And so when it rolls, it's like this way, this way, this way, this way.

625
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000
I got an 11.

626
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
I got a 21.

627
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
I got a six.

628
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000
So you're passing over a forested area.

629
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000
And by this point, you're reaching more or less the tail end of your journey.

630
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:13,000
The rest of you don't aren't really paying attention to the area that you probably should be paying attention to.

631
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:23,000
But New Laura, you are hanging out near the back of the ship and you see a fireball erupt out and out of the forest.

632
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
What do you do?

633
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
I yell fireball.

634
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
We're being attacked. We're being attacked.

635
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Everybody turns and begins.

636
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,000
There's a huge commotion of people looking and Cyril up in the crows.

637
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:46,000
He's like, oh shit, I wasn't paying attention as the fireball hits one of the other airships and it explodes and erupts and falls to the ground.

638
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:56,000
And out from the forest, you see a red, a black and a blue dragon emerge from the forest line and begin following behind.

639
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,000
There are four airships, including yours, following behind those.

640
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,000
And we are about to enter what's called a skills challenge.

641
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
We haven't done a skills challenge in forever.

642
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
We haven't done a skills challenge in a while.

643
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Are there any chickens on the ship?

644
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
There are no chickens that you have seen on this ship.

645
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,000
For those playing the home game and those here that don't remember what a skills challenge is, it is a test of skills.

646
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:35,000
So it's a role-playing encounter where we roll an initiative and the players have to meet six successes before three failures.

647
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000
And if you make the successes, good things happen.

648
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
If you hit the failures first, oh, bad things happen.

649
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:48,000
So we'll roll initiative and see what happens here.

650
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Fuck this dice.

651
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Eighteen.

652
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Nine.

653
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Fourteen.

654
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Nope.

655
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Fifteen.

656
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Plus your initiative.

657
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Eleven.

658
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Ten.

659
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Eighteen.

660
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Fifteen.

661
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Twelve.

662
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Fourteen.

663
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
I don't even know.

664
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Nulara, you are up first, which is fitting because you saw the fireball happen.

665
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
So three dragons following behind.

666
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:19,000
And on top of them, you see a varying number of three to five cultists on top of each of them.

667
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
And they are approaching in behind the two tailing ships.

668
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
You are in two of the front ships.

669
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,000
So they are coming up just behind the other ships.

670
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:35,000
One of the ships has obviously exploded, but it looks like they're going to attack those two back ships first.

671
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,000
So on the ship, it does have armaments.

672
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
There are many people.

673
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,000
But sorry, I totally remember the other one with the throwing chickens and whatnot.

674
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
But were we doing that because we can't use our normal weapons?

675
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Like, why were we doing that?

676
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Why would I not just do something normal?

677
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:03,000
It's designed to, I mean, you can do something normal, but it's designed to utilize a skill you might not otherwise utilize

678
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:12,000
and just figure out a way to make that skill make sense in whatever attack or whatever positioning you are doing in order to succeed at something.

679
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Right, right, right, right.

680
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
So I'm supposed to be using my skills.

681
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
That's why it's a skills challenge.

682
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Exactly.

683
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Like my skills for my character keys, not just like my skills.

684
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
With a Z.

685
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Okay, I am going to...

686
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,000
How far would you say these dragons are from us?

687
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
If they're behind two ships that are behind us, how far is that?

688
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
They're about 100 feet from you.

689
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,000
So they're about 20 feet kind of closing in on the ships behind.

690
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:54,000
And then so total of about 100 feet from where you currently are.

691
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Now, you don't have to do something that necessarily hurts or, you know, does damage to the dragon.

692
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:07,000
You just have to think from a positioning standpoint.

693
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Do you need people to get into position?

694
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Do you need something on the ship to happen?

695
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Do you need to...

696
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:22,000
I mean, I would think like clearly the ship has like cannons or something like they were making magic cannon balls.

697
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000
But am I...

698
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Like, I don't know that I know how to use those things though, right?

699
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Because I probably don't.

700
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
I don't even know if I know there's magic cannon balls.

701
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Thea probably told me because we were hanging out all the time.

702
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,000
You've been traveling for a couple of days.

703
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
I'm sure it would have come up that Thea now knows how to make magic cannon balls.

704
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Do you have persuasion or anything like that because you could...

705
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Oh, no.

706
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Well, I mean, everybody has more skills.

707
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,000
I mean, yes, I do.

708
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
But it is not a strong skill.

709
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
It is a low skill.

710
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000
But like, for example, you can use a skill to rally the troops into...

711
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Or like if intimidation, you can use that as like a way to like bolster their...

712
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:13,000
By telling them how shit's getting real right now and everybody better fucking be on their game.

713
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Get to those cannons or whatever.

714
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Sure.

715
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,000
What if Nulara just did like a bunch of jumping jacks

716
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,000
and everyone was like super impressed with her athletic prowess and then like rallied because of that?

717
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Well, I'll have a combination of those two things because athletics is one of my very good skills.

718
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,000
But I'm at the back of the ship and I just saw it and it's a huge ship.

719
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000
So since I don't know how to work the weapons and stuff, what if like...

720
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,000
I've already yelled to alert everyone, but I just like take a lap of the ship.

721
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Like there's dragons telling people what's going on so that everyone knows what's going on.

722
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:54,000
What if they, you know, like didn't hear me yell or don't understand what kind of threat we're facing?

723
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Sure. Yeah.

724
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:01,000
So as you're running about, yeah, you do see people kind of looking over the side,

725
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
trying to get a view of what has happened.

726
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Some see the wreckage down below.

727
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Some don't see the dragon based on where they are.

728
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:15,000
So as you're running, what do you say and then we'll make the roll to see how well it succeeds or doesn't succeed.

729
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
I say, there's three dragons behind us.

730
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
We're under attack.

731
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
There's three dragons behind us.

732
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,000
We're under attack.

733
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
I'm very repetitive.

734
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Yeah, sure.

735
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
But I want everyone to like, that's the basic information.

736
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,000
It's a clear, strong message.

737
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
It's a clear message.

738
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
So you are trying to, you're not trying to intimidate.

739
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
You're not trying to...

740
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Well, I'm using my athletics skill because I'm running and yelling very, very quietly.

741
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
I get it.

742
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,000
That makes sense.

743
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Yeah, exactly.

744
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000
I'm running and waving my arms and not getting out of breath because I'm in very good shape.

745
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Well, we'll see how good shape you are in.

746
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Yeah.

747
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Let's see.

748
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
So I just roll and then add my athletics.

749
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
You betcha.

750
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Okie dokie smokey.

751
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Fuck.

752
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
I am a little out of breath.

753
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Just a little windage.

754
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Because I only got an 11.

755
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
But you should have a huge athletics bonus.

756
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,000
I do.

757
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,000
That's with my bonus.

758
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Oh, that's with?

759
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,000
I rolled a 3.

760
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
I have a plus 8 to athletics.

761
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:21,000
We'll say based on your little RP sessions at the beginning, everybody picked up an inspiration point.

762
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:29,000
So that is a point at which before I tell you, if you succeeded or failed, you can choose to reroll.

763
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
If you so desire.

764
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
I would like to reroll.

765
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
So you use your inspiration.

766
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Yeah, that was a bad roll.

767
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Ok, that is a better roll.

768
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
That is a 16.

769
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Yeah.

770
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:51,000
So you definitely, as you're running through it, it doesn't seem to take much to get everybody's attention and snap them out of whatever shock they're in.

771
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,000
And they are beginning to move to where they need to be as far as battle stations.

772
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
So we'll go Flint.

773
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Ok.

774
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
You said there is a blue, a red, and a black dragon.

775
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,000
A blue, a red, and a black dragon is what I said.

776
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Yeah.

777
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Ok.

778
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,000
So I'm assuming at this point, like, people are manning the weapon stations and other things like that.

779
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
It appears so.

780
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Yes.

781
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,000
After Nulara runs around, yeah, people are moving to where you assume they need to be.

782
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:28,000
So the dragons have kind of overpassed the back ships now.

783
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:35,000
And one of them, the blue one, is firing its lightning breath at the back ships.

784
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,000
And then the black and the red are headed up towards your ships.

785
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
So they're about 50 feet out at this point.

786
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Ok.

787
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,000
I would like to roll a history check.

788
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Ok.

789
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:56,000
To see if I can remember traditionally how dragons will move, like how they will dodge if things are fired at them.

790
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Like maybe they are predominantly, like, they juke to the left or dip down or something like that.

791
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:10,000
And if I can coordinate these knowledges with our attackers, maybe they can, like, fake the dragon out

792
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:16,000
so it will, like, dive down and then have a second person aiming a little bit lower to hit said dragon.

793
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Sure.

794
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,000
So.

795
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Ok.

796
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Yeah.

797
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Make your history check there.

798
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Does that make enough sense?

799
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Yeah.

800
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,000
No.

801
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,000
It makes perfect sense.

802
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Well, I don't know if it makes perfect sense.

803
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
That seems very kind.

804
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Alright.

805
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,000
That is a 25.

806
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Yeah.

807
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:41,000
You certainly know the fighting styles of, at the very least, the black and the red style dragons.

808
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:50,000
So explain to me, knowing this information, what you do in order to get the cannons that are currently positioned

809
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:56,000
sideways in the ship shooting out with dragons behind you.

810
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:03,000
So how you coordinate that with the people either driving the ship or firing the cannons.

811
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:13,000
I get Captain Neff to turn a little bit to the left so that the cannons are better lined up towards the red and black dragons.

812
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Ok.

813
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:26,000
And I inform the cannon operators as to the fact that red dragons will traditionally dive down if they see a projectile coming towards them.

814
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:36,000
So we get the first volley to fire where they are and the second volley that fires immediately after to fire a little bit on a lower trajectory.

815
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Sure.

816
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,000
To try and nab that red dragon as it dives out of the way.

817
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Sure.

818
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:52,000
So yeah, Captain Neff begins turning the ship as the dragons are closing in behind and you hear her.

819
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,000
There's like a ship horn that she can communicate with the people down below.

820
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,000
And she relays this information and the first volley goes off.

821
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:07,000
And you're correct in the fact that the red dragon dips down and the second volley quickly follows behind it.

822
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:14,000
The red dragon takes three huge hits and it begins to go down to the ground.

823
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:22,000
It doesn't look like it's out but it has gone down way lower and farther away from where you are currently.

824
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Yeah.

825
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000

00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
August 8th, hey, did you hear?

849
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,000
We're officially a weekly podcast now.

850
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Crazy, right?

851
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Let's get back to the episode though and see if the adventures have any skills left.

852
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,000
You have a great week.

853
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,000
We'll talk soon.

854
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Thea.

855
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Thea is going to go down and see.

856
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Oh gosh, what was her name again?

857
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Mary Ellen.

858
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Thank you, Mary Ellen.

859
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:44,000
And she's going to pull out a leather bound book that she kept from her old scribe days.

860
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:58,000
And there's actually inside are some ingredients for a much more potent explosive inside.

861
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,000
So she's never had any any sort of like,

862
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,000
she didn't know of any vessel that could contain the material together.

863
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
But now that Mary Ellen has shown her this,

864
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Thea is going to go down and make some of these special explodey cannons.

865
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Okay.

866
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,000
What are you using to do this?

867
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Wisdom? Arcana?

868
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Arcana.

869
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Okay.

870
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Yeah.

871
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,000
I'm going to use my Arcana.

872
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Okay.

873
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Come on, weird spherical d20.

874
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,000
That is 18.

875
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:41,000
So yeah, you and Mary Ellen begin whipping up these super potent explodey bombs.

876
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Explodey balls.

877
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Thank you very much.

878
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,000
And we'll say you are, you are getting them prepped and lined up and some of the other.

879
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,000
I get Flammikins to.

880
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Sure.

881
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Haul them back and forth because everyone else.

882
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Is he safe?

883
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Oh yeah, girl.

884
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,000
You good.

885
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Okay.

886
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,000
I hope my magic chaos bolts don't fire off when I'm carrying one of these.

887
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Why would that happen?

888
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
As she stumbles out of her room carrying them.

889
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,000
I made a poor choice.

890
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Okay, so back to the top.

891
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Nulara.

892
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:16,000
So the red dragon has been knocked down with three of these cannon balls

893
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,000
and it looks like it's kind of coming up and in front of the ship now.

894
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,000
The black dragon is up over top and you see its mouth.

895
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Looks like it's charging its breath.

896
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Your turn.

897
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Okay.

898
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:37,000
I am going to use my.

899
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Man, my skills are so amazing for this.

900
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
You got skills.

901
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Sure.

902
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Well, you can use any of them.

903
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
It's just you won't have like a super duper bonus.

904
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Exactly.

905
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Which doesn't seem like the best, the best use.

906
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Okay.

907
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:05,000
I am going to use my perception to see if.

908
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,000
So sorry.

909
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,000
The red one is in front now.

910
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,000
The red one.

911
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Yeah.

912
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,000
It is coming up front.

913
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Like it's kind of cresting up.

914
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,000
So it's not yet in front, but that you look over and you see its trajectory and

915
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,000
that's where it's going.

916
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
So they're kind of cut off this ship.

917
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Who's a, who is charging up.

918
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
The black dragon who is behind.

919
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
I thought you said on top.

920
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Well, like up and it's not like resting on top, but like behind and above.

921
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Sorry.

922
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
I am going to yeah.

923
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Okay.

924
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Good.

925
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,000
The black one.

926
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:44,000
I'm going to use my perception to see if I can spot his, you know,

927
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,000
that one fatal flaw that all dragons have on the other side of them.

928
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Yep.

929
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:57,000
I would like to see if I can see that so that I can get one of the super

930
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:02,000
talented archers that is standing beside me to shoot it in that spot.

931
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Okay.

932
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,000
So that is a 19.

933
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:14,000
The black dragon flaps its wings and exposes its underside as it's about

934
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,000
to unleash this breath.

935
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:23,000
And you see like a glowing spot on its chest where you think would probably

936
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
be a tender spot.

937
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
It's the dragon heart.

938
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Great movie.

939
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Yeah.

940
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Where you think that if it were struck, it would probably do some

941
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,000
damage.

942
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Okay.

943
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:45,000
So I tell is, is there, there's a super wickedly trained archer beside

944
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000
me, right?

945
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Naturally.

946
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,000
That I give the like elbow to and say like, I love it.

947
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
It's a glowing spot, but only I can see it.

948
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Whatever.

949
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,000
It's fine.

950
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,000
He doesn't know.

951
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Well, it's like, it's not like, like glowing all the time, but

952
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,000
there's like a flash and it's like that one spot.

953
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,000
And you happen to see it as it was like charging up and about ready.

954
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Yep.

955
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Perfect.

956
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
He's just really not paying attention.

957
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,000
No, I'm just kidding.

958
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,000
My name is Harold.

959
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,000
He's an excellent shot.

960
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,000
He's not going to notice it.

961
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Shoot the archery.

962
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,000
It's fine.

963
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,000
He just has different skills.

964
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
People have different skills.

965
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:27,000
So I, I tell Harold where, where to aim his, his bow so he can try

966
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,000
and hit the dragon and hopefully stop that.

967
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Well, at least stop that charge up of that breath weapon that we

968
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
probably really don't want to get attacked with.

969
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,000
So you point, point this out to Harold and Harold had his bow

970
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,000
knocked already ready to take a shot, but sees where you were

971
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,000
directing him and lets loose his arrow.

972
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
I mean, you succeeded.

973
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,000
That's okay.

974
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Let's lose his arrow and it impales into that spot and the

975
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,000
dragon lets out a loud roar.

976
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,000
And instead of dropping its head down to release its breath

977
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:06,000
weapon, fires its acid breath up into the air and begins to

978
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,000
kind of fill the sky above, but doesn't fall down onto the ship.

979
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Flint.

980
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
Okay.

981
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:19,000
The red dragon is now up in front and the black dragon has just

982
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
been struck behind you.

983
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,000
The blue dragon has taken out one of the other ships.

984
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Okay.

985
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Does the red dragon look like it's breathy time or?

986
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,000
It's just getting up in front and kind of turning around and

987
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,000
positioning in front, but you can't tell at this moment.

988
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Okay.

989
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000
How about that blue dragon?

990
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,000
You said it just took down a ship?

991
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Yeah, it looks like with its lightning breath, it took down

992
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:52,000
one and now is on top of the air, the balloon of the second

993
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,000
ship behind.

994
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:58,000
So there's still three ships that are up, including yours.

995
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
And how far away is this blue dragon now?

996
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,000
You've kind of slowed your, how fast?

997
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,000
We kind of turned sideways.

998
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,000
And you turned sideways.

999
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:11,000
So you're going, I'd say it's probably like 30 feet out from

1000
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,000
where you are.

1001
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,000
So you guys are getting in pretty close proximity as all the

1002
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,000
ships are swirling, trying to take down some of these

1003
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,000
dragons.

1004
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:27,000
I see a pile of rope next to me on the deck and I tie one

1005
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,000
end to the railing of the airship and one end to my

1006
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:37,000
dwarven thrower and I throw my hammer at the foot of the

1007
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:41,000
blue dragon, but miss ever so slightly in the attempts that

1008
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,000
it will go around the foot and then return back to me,

1009
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,000
thus snaring the foot of the dragon and dragging it a

1010
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,000
little bit away from the ship that it's currently on top of.

1011
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,000
Okay.

1012
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:58,000
And I will, I guess, roll a athletics for that.

1013
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,000
That sounds athletic, right?

1014
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Yeah, I'm trying to think of something that would be

1015
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,000
better, but I get it.

1016
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Yeah.

1017
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Yeah.

1018
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Athletics.

1019
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Well, athletics is strength.

1020
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Acrobatics.

1021
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,000
I'd say acrobatics.

1022
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Something decks based.

1023
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Yeah.

1024
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Okay.

1025
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,000
All right.

1026
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000
You're trying to aim rather than like brutally knock it

1027
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,000
down.

1028
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Yeah.

1029
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
It's a finesse shot more than a power shot.

1030
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Come on, acrobatics.

1031
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,000
I'm going to use my lucky rabbit's foot.

1032
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Have you used your inspiration yet?

1033
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Thanks for the gift.

1034
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
Have you used your inspiration yet?

1035
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,000
I have not.

1036
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Okay.

1037
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000
I had a pretty good roll, so I'm just going to,

1038
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,000
I'm going to tack on a little bit here, I think.

1039
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,000
All right.

1040
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
And I'm going to add four to that, so that's a 19.

1041
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:43,000
You let loose your dwarven thrower and it goes just

1042
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,000
kind of to the side?

1043
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Yeah, like just around the foot, if you will.

1044
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Sure.

1045
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
And then it, like around its leg.

1046
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
And as it returns back to me, it doesn't come

1047
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,000
straight back.

1048
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Yeah.

1049
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,000
So it goes around the dragon's leg and it doesn't

1050
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
like snare it, like it doesn't drag it all the

1051
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,000
way back, but it's enough to like throw off its

1052
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,000
bAlydince and drag it a few feet.

1053
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Yeah.

1054
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,000
That's exactly what happens.

1055
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Just to give that other ship like a little bit

1056
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,000
of time.

1057
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Yeah.

1058
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,000
So it pulls it off.

1059
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,000
We'll say it pulls it away enough from the

1060
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:20,000
balloon and dips down and lets the, one of the

1061
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,000
rear ship gets it into position so that they can

1062
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,000
let loose their cannons on it.

1063
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,000
And it does that.

1064
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,000
Perfect.

1065
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000
It fires it and is enough to drive off that

1066
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,000
blue dragon.

1067
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Nice.

1068
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Thea.

1069
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Wow.

1070
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Who would have thought a magical returning

1071
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
hammer would be useful, guys?

1072
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Right?

1073
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Right.

1074
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,000
It's very strange.

1075
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Thea shouts up to the captain.

1076
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,000
What model is this ship?

1077
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,000
How is that pertinent to the current situation?

1078
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Damn it, captain.

1079
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,000
It's important.

1080
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:05,000
We talking like the 42-B or?

1081
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:12,000
Definitely a frigate series 16-R.

1082
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Well, Thea knows she's going to use history

1083
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
because she-

1084
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,000
From all your time on ships?

1085
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Yes.

1086
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,000
I did a lot of random reading as a scribe in

1087
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,000
the library of the university.

1088
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,000
I was bored as shit in there.

1089
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:35,000
And Thea remembers reading that there is a

1090
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,000
special emergency defense mechanism for these

1091
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000
ships that actually casts a force field around

1092
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:52,000
it.

1093
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,000
And she remembers that the button is located

1094
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:02,000
just underneath the ship's steering wheel.

1095
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Roll for it.

1096
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Captain Neff, not the best captain.

1097
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,000
I'm going to use my inspiration.

1098
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Apparently, this knowledge has been lost

1099
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,000
to the annals of time.

1100
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Indeed.

1101
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,000
Well, she's like, what?

1102
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,000
What's happening?

1103
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Caught in a frenzy.

1104
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Maybe she never-

1105
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Fuck.

1106
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,000
I hate it.

1107
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,000
So tell me what you scream out to Captain Neff.

1108
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:35,000
I say, what about the force fields?

1109
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,000
And she stops with all the mayhem that's

1110
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,000
happening around her.

1111
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,000
She stops and she looks you dead in the fucking

1112
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:43,000
eye.

1113
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,000
And she's like, the fuck you talking about,

1114
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,000
bitch?

1115
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Is this not a frigate series 2.0-7B?

1116
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
No, I just said 14-R.

1117
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Oh, damn it.

1118
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,000
They're no fucking force fields.

1119
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Never mind.

1120
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Go back down and make your bombs.

1121
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Let's see, it goes back down.

1122
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Hashtag dumb dragon fart, y'all.

1123
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Oh, that could have been good.

1124
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,000
You guys, I fucked up.

1125
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,000
This is our very last one.

1126
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
You went for the moon and I liked it.

1127
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
You swung for the fences.

1128
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,000
That's your first fail.

1129
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,000
So you had five successes, one fail.

1130
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Nulara, the red dragon, looks like he's

1131
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
recharged his breath and he's up in front.

1132
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:28,000
The black dragon has dropped back from the

1133
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,000
arrow shot.

1134
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:33,000
The blue dragon looks like he's left

1135
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,000
because of the dwarven thrower cannonball

1136
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
incident.

1137
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,000
It's fair.

1138
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Ships are circling themselves, kind of

1139
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,000
like just trying to get position on the

1140
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,000
dragons, keep position on the dragons.

1141
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Kate, how far is the red dragon from the

1142
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
front of our ship?

1143
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,000
He's like hovering like right in front.

1144
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,000
So between you and you're following the

1145
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,000
next ship.

1146
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,000
He's between you and that ship.

1147
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,000
I am going to.

1148
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:06,000
God, why aren't there more animals on

1149
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:12,000
this ship would be really helpful.

1150
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Do you need an animal?

1151
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,000
I am going to.

1152
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
No, that doesn't make any sense at all.

1153
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000
And I can't even pretend that it

1154
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,000
makes sense.

1155
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,000
You just tried to think there was a

1156
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,000
fucking force field.

1157
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,000
You can't just conjure a force field.

1158
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,000
You actually can if you can roll high enough

1159
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,000
and don't have the world's shittiest dice.

1160
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,000
I was going to say, I guess if you roll

1161
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,000
well enough.

1162
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:42,000
OK, then I am going to go.

1163
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:46,000
Is the dragon like above us, in line

1164
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,000
with us or below us?

1165
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,000
In line.

1166
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,000
OK, then I am going to.

1167
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,000
I remember now why we were throwing

1168
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
chickens and stuff, get real desperate

1169
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,000
in the skills challenge.

1170
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,000
I mean, because it's amazing.

1171
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,000
I am going to.

1172
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
Grab the two strongest looking people I

1173
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,000
see.

1174
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,000
And we're going to go to them at the

1175
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,000
drive.

1176
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,000
They're going to go to the front of

1177
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,000
the ship.

1178
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:20,000
And we're going to.

1179
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,000
And we're going to try to push that

1180
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:29,000
bear masthead onto the dragon.

1181
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:38,000
And I'm going to use my animal handling skill.

1182
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,000
She's handling the animal.

1183
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,000
I love everything about this.

1184
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,000
I like it.

1185
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,000
It's good.

1186
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,000
We're getting weird that I am on board

1187
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000
in many ways.

1188
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:59,000
That's a 22.

1189
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,000
OK, what is your sorry?

1190
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,000
What is your goal here?

1191
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,000
You're trying to push it onto the

1192
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,000
dragon that's in line with you.

1193
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,000
I want to bonk it.

1194
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,000
So it'll like, you know, I want to

1195
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,000
hit it in the snoot so it doesn't

1196
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,000
spray us with its fire, probably

1197
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,000
coming out of a restaurant.

1198
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,000
I imagine you guys would like

1199
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,000
rip it off the masthead and then

1200
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,000
hurl it.

1201
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Exactly.

1202
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,000
OK.

1203
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:26,000
So you and Hans and Franz.

1204
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,000
I am Hans.

1205
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,000
This is Franz.

1206
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,000
We will throw the bear.

1207
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,000
You go up there and you somehow

1208
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,000
manage to animal handle this wooden

1209
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,000
sculpture and tear it off.

1210
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,000
And it is propelled forward and

1211
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,000
knocks into the dragon, which

1212
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:50,000
forces it to like it kind of

1213
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,000
knocks its concentration long

1214
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,000
enough that the ship actually runs

1215
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:04,000
into it and spears into it.

1216
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,000
And the red dragon is holding on

1217
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,000
to the front of the ship.

1218
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,000
You hear Captain Neff scream from

1219
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,000
down below to fire everything.

1220
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,000
And the two cannons that are on the

1221
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000
front release and these two extra

1222
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:25,000
potent explode devices explode into

1223
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,000
the red dragon that makes it explode

1224
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,000
off the front of the ship and knock

1225
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,000
it down to the earth below.

1226
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,000
The black dragon seeing this now his

1227
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
blue friend and his black friend

1228
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
and the cultists on it kind of

1229
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,000
give it the old let's get out of here

1230
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,000
for now and regroup and come back later.

1231
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
You've won the skills challenge.

1232
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Is the red dragon dead?

1233
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000
You are uncertain if it is dead,

1234
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,000
but it has fallen and is lifeless

1235
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,000
appearing on the ground.

1236
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Hopefully dead.

1237
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Yeah, it looked like it had not a

1238
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
lot of movement in it, like perhaps

1239
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,000
it was at least unconscious when it

1240
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,000
was hit.

1241
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
You handled that animal.

1242
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:15,000
You sure did.

1243
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,000
Now we all just like do amazing

1244
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,000
high fives because that is by far,

1245
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:23,000
by far, by far our best encounter

1246
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
ever where a dragon has been involved.

1247
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Yep.

1248
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Yes.

1249
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,000
That's good.

1250
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,000
So yeah, you are you are cleaning

1251
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,000
up the the two other ships have gone

1252
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,000
to see if there's anybody in the

1253
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,000
wreckage of the fourth ship.

1254
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,000
And you you set off still towards

1255
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Xanthal's tower on your own now.

1256
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,000
But you travel for the rest of the

1257
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,000
day and you make it to a tower

1258
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,000
surrounded by what looks like a

1259
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,000
giant overgrown hedge maze.

1260
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,000
And around that hedge maze is a

1261
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,000
town.

1262
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,000
You ask about that and Captain Neff

1263
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,000
says that is this is Xanthal's

1264
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,000
tower as well.

1265
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
They named the city after the tower

1266
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,000
after Xanthal brought that tower

1267
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,000
up there.

1268
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,000
People flocked to it because it

1269
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,000
deterred people, deterred orcs and

1270
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,000
deterred raids from attacking

1271
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
because of the magic that was coming

1272
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,000
off of the tower.

1273
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,000
But you have made it to Xanthal's

1274
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,000
tower.

1275
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,000
And because of how, you know,

1276
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,000
how the dragons had attacked you,

1277
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,000
you went right up to it.

1278
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,000
And you land on the outskirts of

1279
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,000
the city of Xanthal's tower.

1280
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Music in today's episode was by

1281
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Kavin McLeod of Incompetech.Filmmusic.io.

1282
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Killer garden.

1283
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,000
Not to be confused with a killer

1284
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,000
garden.

1285
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,000
I'm not going to take any notes

1286
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,000
because the clickety clack of me

1287
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,000
typing irritates Russ while he's

1288
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,000
editing.

1289
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Yeah, it's like so loud.

1290
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,000
So I don't take notes anymore

1291
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,000
because someone's sensitive.

1292
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,000
Someone could invest in a pencil

1293
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,000
that's in there.

1294
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,000
As someone who has no interest in

1295
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,000
editing this podcast, I can't blame

1296
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,000
Russ for that.

1297
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Yeah, that's fair.

1298
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,000
Everybody has to edit one

1299
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:33,000
episode if they have anything to

1300
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,000
complain about.

1301
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,000
You'll never hear another peep

1302
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,000
at me again.

1303
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,000
We will lose so many listeners.

1304
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,000
So you,

1305
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,000
all of you are climbing

1306
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,000
the rope ladder?

1307
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Yes.

1308
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,000
All right.

1309
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Well, unless there's another way

1310
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:48,000
to get into the fucking airship.

1311
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,000
I bust a hole through the side

1312
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,000
of the airship.

1313
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Somebody's got levitation boots,

1314
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,000
but whatever.

1315
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,000
I only get to use those like

1316
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,000
once every so often.

1317
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,000
So I'm not going to waste them

1318
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,000
getting myself into a boat.

1319
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,000
The next huge encounter is going

1320
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,000
to happen before so often.

1321
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,000
What if it happened halfway

1322
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,000
if she was floating up

1323
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,000
into the airship?

1324
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,000
I like it.

1325
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,000
And what's your name, Captain?

1326
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,000
Uh,

1327
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Yep.

1328
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Yep.

1329
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,000
And do you have a last name yet?

1330
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
Uh,

1331
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Captain.

1332
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,000
No, my name is Catherine.

1333
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Catherine.

1334
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Captain.

1335
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Stormborn.

1336
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,000
Captain.

1337
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,000
Stormborn again?

1338
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,000
No, that's a bad.

1339
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,000
I don't know why that's my default.

1340
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,000
I don't know either.

1341
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,000
You've already had a Stormborn.

1342
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,000
Denearus.

1343
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Stormborn.

1344
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Uh,

1345
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:39,000
see this is how much prep

1346
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,000
I've done today, guys.

1347
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,000
Captain Catherine Capsicum.

1348
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Catherine Wheel.

1349
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Captain.

1350
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,000
No wait.

1351
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Captain.

1352
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,000
Catherine.

1353
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,000
Catherine the Great.

1354
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,000
Sounds familiar.

1355
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Hepburn.

1356
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,000
No.

1357
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Uh, Captain.

1358
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:00,000
Captron.

1359
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Capsicum.

1360
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,000
Captron.

1361
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,000
Well, the name, the name of the ship is the

1362
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Bearskin Ship.

1363
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,000
It's too bad you brought up that ship name generator.

1364
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Too slow.

1365
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,000
And you didn't use any of the names.

1366
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,000
They weren't good.

1367
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,000
You just said the first thing that came to your head.

1368
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:27,000
Well, the beauty of this audio podcast that is not live is

1369
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,000
you can say whatever you want.

1370
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,000
Would you like to try again?

1371
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:32,000
The Vancouver.

1372
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,000
The Pocahontas.

1373
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,000
These are terrible ship names.

1374
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,000
The Pocahontas.

1375
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,000
None of them tie to a bear.

1376
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,000
It's the Polka haunt us.

1377
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,000
Yes.

1378
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Okay.

1379
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,000
