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

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,359
That leads directly up to the maze. You notice movement high up on the tower.

3
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:39,679
Heroes! They saw you in the village! I've taken the mask but they'll realize it's missing

4
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:44,320
within minutes! Look for me beneath the tower! This is the key that will let you teleport

5
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:51,359
into the dungeon! You run into the path and you've entered an open area which is an

6
00:00:51,359 --> 00:00:56,960
intersection where eight paths converge symmetrically. A sundial stands in the

7
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,880
center of the intersection. The shadow from its gnomon points straight toward the tower.

8
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,159
I think this one right ahead of us. It's as good a guess as any.

9
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:16,079
You come back into the very same sundial area. The shadows are now pointing to A and C.

10
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:18,719
How about this one? And I gesture to C.

11
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:25,120
On our way to entrance C, Russ, I would like to drop some coins or something on the ground

12
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:32,000
to mark our entry there. You enter a large square courtyard and filling the center of

13
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,760
this courtyard is a circular pool of water. A garnet gemstone hovers one foot above the

14
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:45,520
center of this pool. Donnie flies to the center and as he grabs it a pincer claw reaches up

15
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,520
and grabs his claw. The room is clear of jewels. Donnie has the garnet in hand.

16
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:55,439
You enter back into the sundial room and it is still at A and C.

17
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:58,319
Can we see the coins I dropped on the ground? Are they still there?

18
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:00,479
They appear to have disappeared.

19
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:07,039
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. We are a D&D fifth edition actual play podcast and I'm

20
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:09,840
your dungeon master, Russ More, and with me today is Amy More.

21
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,359
And I can't even handle it.

22
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:17,840
And also with me, who do you play? Oh, I play Thea Mastazia.

23
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,759
Also with me is Carla Johnson.

24
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:24,159
I think I can handle it, but I definitely play Nulara Moonbrook.

25
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:26,159
And Tom Laird.

26
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:31,039
I can 100% handle it and I play FlintFirebeard.

27
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:33,199
Coming in confident, Tom. I like it.

28
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:37,039
Gotta start high. There's never ever been a drop off when you start at the top, right?

29
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:39,120
Yeah, never. You just keep going up.

30
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,439
Never. That's how things work.

31
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:43,919
You did just watch Never Stop Never Stopping, so.

32
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,039
Oh, so good.

33
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:48,000
It's got your confidence level right up here.

34
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,719
Right?

35
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:49,919
It is a good movie.

36
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,359
It's no pop star.

37
00:02:51,359 --> 00:02:53,840
I was going to say, I'd like to hear more about Pup Star,

38
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,960
which apparently has had repeated viewings in the More household.

39
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,159
Pup Star 2.

40
00:02:58,159 --> 00:02:59,039
Oh, Pup Star.

41
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:00,960
Sorry, yes, Pup Star 2.

42
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,000
Yeah, that's the one we watched.

43
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,759
No, it was really good. You know, little tiny dog making it big.

44
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:09,599
Amy watched it more intently than Addison did.

45
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:13,520
I don't know why either. It sucked me in and it was bad.

46
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,639
It's because your mother never let you watch talking animal movies.

47
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,000
It's true. It was like the one thing.

48
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
She let me watch Terminator 2 when it came out.

49
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,440
I was like, what, eight?

50
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,080
But babe?

51
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,080
But she wouldn't let me watch Babe, Pig in the City.

52
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,680
Wow, that's a weird, weird choice.

53
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,480
She's like, Amy, it's a talking pig.

54
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Though there was one movie that we were allowed to watch

55
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,360
with animals talking and it was Homeward Bound.

56
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,400
OK.

57
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,080
It's a good choice. It's a classic.

58
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080
That one, the dog's mouth don't move.

59
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,240
It wasn't a classic then, Carla.

60
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,439
I was going to think that maybe it was the incredibly sad Disney Fox and Hound.

61
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,280
That's animated.

62
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Still, though, I'm sure you must have got to watch

63
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,960
talking animated animal movies, right?

64
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,560
Did you get to watch Look Who's Talking?

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480
No. Well, it's not that she didn't let me watch it.

66
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,360
We just never watched it.

67
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,840
I don't. I think to this day, I still haven't watched it.

68
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,400
I mean, the first one you are clearly missing out.

69
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,000
The first one is pretty great.

70
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:11,760
Welcome to our podcast.

71
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,640
We talk about movies Amy wasn't allowed to watch when she was little.

72
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,600
I like it. Hey, Amy, let's put it on the list.

73
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,879
OK. It's another one of our podcasts

74
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:20,400
we're going to do any time now.

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,040
We're going to launch a different one from my childhood.

76
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,040
Can we can we do television shows as well?

77
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,280
Because I have a bunch I wasn't allowed to watch when I was a kid.

78
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,560
I didn't have TV, so we have endless content.

79
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:31,920
Oh, wow.

80
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,600
It's the podcast that will keep renewing itself.

81
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,720
Any show that exists I did not see.

82
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:38,080
Perfect.

83
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Wow.

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,040
Basically, unless I like was at a friend's house.

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,120
All right. So I'm just waiting on you guys to just take

86
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,040
take the reins on one of those ideas.

87
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,120
Any time now, one of them is going to stick.

88
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:47,680
Sure is going to happen.

89
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,160
This podcast network that we have going.

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,400
Our empire is going to grow.

91
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,760
This network of one.

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,680
I have some narrative podcast ideas.

93
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,560
Truly, truly I actually do, but it seems like a lot of work.

94
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,840
So I'll get back to you on it.

95
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,759
Let's talk Carla, because that sounds like a great idea.

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,840
That does sound very interesting.

97
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,840
I'm willing to get you off the ground on that one.

98
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:13,600
I listened to you five stars on iTunes.

99
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Oh, thanks, Amy.

100
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,200
And if you want to support us, we're also on Patreon.

101
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,640
Tom can tell you about Patreon.

102
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,120
Yeah. Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

103
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,800
Russ. Yes.

104
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,440
Yes. Nailed it was just waiting for that nod.

105
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,920
Yeah. So we do one episode a month.

106
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,240
It comes out on the 15th of every month.

107
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,120
Currently, right now, we're just about.

108
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,040
Well, I guess it will have been released already.

109
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,760
We'll release our first episode of our fate campaign.

110
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Technically, it's like the third episode,

111
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,160
but it'll be the first one that features us

112
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,360
actually using the characters and everything that we're like.

113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,880
Actually comes out today.

114
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,680
Oh, it comes out today.

115
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,800
This is released.

116
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Amazing.

117
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,760
Also on that Patreon list of episodes is an 11 episode arc that I did

118
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,720
in the D&D world of Faerun as well,

119
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,480
but with different characters for Russ, Amy and Carla to play

120
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,120
and navigate that crazy world with.

121
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,000
And we have other fun things like character sheets

122
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,840
that come out fortnightly.

123
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:16,960
And a goog hang.

124
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,879
And a monthly goog hang.

125
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:20,080
There's so much.

126
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Our dumb faces.

127
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,439
So much going on over there.

128
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:26,000
Three beautiful faces and one dumb face.

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,280
Oh, who's the dumb face?

130
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Well, me.

131
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,480
Oh, dumb face.

132
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,080
You guys, you all pointed at yourself.

133
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,040
I didn't.

134
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,600
It's me.

135
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,360
I wasn't going to like zing you guys.

136
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:38,639
Amy was like, it's Russ.

137
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,840
So, yeah, thank you.

138
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,480
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

139
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,439
Lots of great people.

140
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:49,759
I don't know if I missed anything else with Patreon.

141
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:52,160
There's also other stuff, but go check it out.

142
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,120
I don't want to spoil it all.

143
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,000
Yeah, no spoilers.

144
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,280
You go look, do some work yourself.

145
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,840
Amy's can't hanker us today.

146
00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:58,560
God.

147
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,680
Yeah, I like it.

148
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:00,000
It's good.

149
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,040
We got a death maze to face.

150
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Yeah, I'm just like, I'm just trying to be like.

151
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,199
Get jacked for it.

152
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,079
Guys, I feel like someone's going to die today.

153
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:08,719
Fuck it, guys.

154
00:07:08,719 --> 00:07:09,680
Let's play D&D.

155
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:11,759
That was great timing.

156
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:13,759
I was waiting for a good cue.

157
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,000
He was waiting for Tom not to be able to.

158
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,159
He was waiting for Tom to take a drink of something.

159
00:07:18,159 --> 00:07:20,719
He's like, God, he's got to be the Perrier.

160
00:07:20,719 --> 00:07:21,039
Come on.

161
00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:24,240
It's the lemon Perrier, though.

162
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,800
It's no good.

163
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:26,800
But you're drinking it anyway.

164
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:30,639
You've entered back into the sundial where there's the intersection

165
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:32,800
where there are eight paths converge symmetrically

166
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:38,480
and the shadows are pointed again towards A and C.

167
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:45,600
Where is the tower in relation to the pathways?

168
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,319
Towers pointed towards H.

169
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,280
OK, so it's different than the last time we were in this.

170
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:51,840
Yeah.

171
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,080
And Flammikins pipes up and she's like,

172
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,480
because it's getting kind of dark now and she's like,

173
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,879
Flammikins, Flammikins, there I am.

174
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:02,080
Let's get fucked.

175
00:08:02,159 --> 00:08:02,879
Let's get fucked.

176
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:04,159
I don't know what Flammikins sounds like.

177
00:08:04,159 --> 00:08:04,959
We're in this maze.

178
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:06,000
Next jewel pool.

179
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,199
We're jumping in.

180
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:08,319
No.

181
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,959
Hey, guys, look at these stars.

182
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,959
They seem kind of weird.

183
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:14,800
I looked up.

184
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,360
What do I see?

185
00:08:16,159 --> 00:08:17,519
Make a check.

186
00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:18,079
Make a check.

187
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:20,240
Seven.

188
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:20,719
Wait.

189
00:08:20,719 --> 00:08:21,360
Am I just perception?

190
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,839
Make a nature check.

191
00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:28,319
Oh, I got just like fucking bags of nature.

192
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:28,959
Bags of it.

193
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,599
Big old bags of nature.

194
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,280
Oh, fuck.

195
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,320
You guys, there's a big hole in my bag of nature.

196
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,960
It's empty.

197
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,840
The bag of nature is empty because I rolled a three.

198
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,080
Do I need to roll a nature roll?

199
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,320
Yeah.

200
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,440
So I only got a nine.

201
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,400
I also got a nine.

202
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,320
Yeah, I got a 15.

203
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,840
But I have a plus six.

204
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,120
OK, that's better.

205
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,200
I got a 15 with no bonus.

206
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:55,759
You're looking up.

207
00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:56,720
You're like, yeah, they're stars.

208
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,320
He looks to Flammikins.

209
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,920
You recognize that they don't look like constellations

210
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:03,839
or stars that you are familiar with.

211
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:06,559
Guys, something's weird about the sky.

212
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,399
I don't recognize anything up there.

213
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:12,240
Yeah, like when I'm out at sea because I was a pirate,

214
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,159
you guide by the stars.

215
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:16,319
But these are not stars that I'm familiar with.

216
00:09:16,319 --> 00:09:22,719
Well, maybe this whole place is in another world or something.

217
00:09:23,199 --> 00:09:24,079
That's something now.

218
00:09:24,719 --> 00:09:25,919
We haven't really talked about it.

219
00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:27,199
We've gone into it.

220
00:09:27,199 --> 00:09:28,079
It's true.

221
00:09:28,079 --> 00:09:31,360
Or like this is just like a little pocket dimension

222
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,759
where they fuck with us in the maze or something.

223
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:36,720
Thaddeus says that looks to be exactly what it is.

224
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,800
Good, good call.

225
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,399
A pocket dimension where they fuck with us.

226
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,039
The old fuck with your pocket dimension.

227
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,000
I mean, that's what I would do if I was making a killer maze.

228
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:51,759
Man, if only it was the let's get fucked pocket dimension.

229
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:52,960
It would be so much better.

230
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,039
Maybe we'll find one of those things.

231
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:57,920
Yeah, we'll see.

232
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Probably not.

233
00:09:59,120 --> 00:09:59,840
Probably not here.

234
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,160
Well, they never want anyone to get through these mazes.

235
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,920
So maybe they will just put up a pub somewhere where you just don't

236
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,320
take your squeaky toy elsewhere.

237
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,040
I beg the pardon of the squeaky toy dog in this episode.

238
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:13,920
There's your disclaimer.

239
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,840
She's here.

240
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,879
She's not leaving.

241
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:19,440
No, she settled in with her squeaky toy.

242
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,320
All good.

243
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,399
Yeah, maybe they just set up a pub somewhere and, you know,

244
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:25,680
you just sit in and the beers are all good and you never have to pay.

245
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,840
And that's where you, you know, get stuck.

246
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,120
Let's not get trapped like that, you guys.

247
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,840
Let's not do that.

248
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,600
Sounds like a weird purgatory, but a good one at the same time.

249
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,120
So last time we walked and it was only pointed to A.

250
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,519
We walked down A and then we came back in and it changed.

251
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,320
But when we went in the last one, there was no change, but we had to fight shit.

252
00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:51,919
So if the shadow is still pointing at A and C, do we try C again?

253
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,720
But there was change because the shadows were at A and C,

254
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,600
but the tower was at D and now the towers at H.

255
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,100
Right.

256
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:02,080
Right. Right.

257
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:06,000
So maybe we just go H because that's the way the tower is.

258
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:06,799
Sure.

259
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:10,879
Because I mean, we went we went A because that was the way the tower was originally.

260
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:15,519
And then we went C because that's where the shadow was,

261
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:17,120
but the tower was at D.

262
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,560
So maybe we should have went tower and ignored the shadows.

263
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,720
Everybody make a perception check as well.

264
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,600
My strongest one.

265
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:25,840
Thanks.

266
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,720
Oh, motherfucker.

267
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,320
You had like a huge perception bonus.

268
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:33,040
Yeah, but still 11.

269
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,080
I am just killing it on these rolls, by the way.

270
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:37,840
It doesn't matter.

271
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,280
It was a very low roll that you needed.

272
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,360
So you you also notice as you're kind of looking at the stars

273
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,520
and looking around and that the moon is up now

274
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,320
and that the shadow that it or the light that it's casting

275
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,320
and the shadows that are casting on you are clearly not

276
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,560
making the shadow that's on the sundial.

277
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,480
So your shadows are going in one direction,

278
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,840
whereas the sundial appears to be making its own shadows.

279
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:05,840
Fucking magical shadows.

280
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,920
I agree with Flint.

281
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,320
Let's let's try to follow the tower.

282
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,200
I guess we I mean, what have we got to lose?

283
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:13,840
Well, I don't know.

284
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,200
I mean, we tried C last time and it led us to come back

285
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,200
to this same place after a big fight room.

286
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,240
So, yeah, I say let's try to follow the tower.

287
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:24,879
Give it a shot.

288
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,680
So you walk down H and you walk.

289
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:28,560
Sorry, quick question.

290
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:29,060
Yay.

291
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,680
With the garnet, I vaguely remember like checking

292
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:35,840
to see if it fits in the sundial anywhere, does it?

293
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,720
No, no, it does not.

294
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,360
Okay, cool, cool.

295
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:41,200
Sorry.

296
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,759
We walk for you begin walking down H

297
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:46,960
and you walk for about a little bit more than a minute

298
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,919
and you come into a new area.

299
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:57,680
You emerge from a path into an area far larger than any open

300
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,880
area you expected to encounter in the maze garden.

301
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:05,440
This rectangle space must be 90 feet across

302
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,320
with its far side almost 150 feet away.

303
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,880
It looks like a boulder strewn pasture

304
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,640
with a large pond to one side and a fenced vegetable garden

305
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,480
and oversized cottage on the other.

306
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,200
Sheep graze in the pasture tended by a pair of cyclops

307
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,680
but none of them are moving.

308
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,240
They all appear frozen in time.

309
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,639
Do I see any obvious exit out the other side of this pasture?

310
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,639
Yes, you do.

311
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,800
Off to the far other side, there appears to be another path

312
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,399
much like the last area you were in.

313
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:48,240
There was one directly across.

314
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,639
I whisper, guys, and then I start to sneak quietly

315
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:55,039
because I don't want to wake up the cyclops.

316
00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:59,680
As soon as you begin to advance into the area,

317
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:02,960
the creatures spring to life with the sheep grazing

318
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,680
and the cyclops chatting idly to each other.

319
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,120
What do you do after you see that?

320
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:08,960
Do they see me?

321
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,200
I just said they're chatting idly to each other.

322
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,039
Well, I mean, they only have one eye, so.

323
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,159
Their peripheral is a little bit more narrow.

324
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:19,120
They're chatting idly.

325
00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:23,759
I couldn't help myself.

326
00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:27,919
I sneak quickly behind a boulder

327
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:29,919
because you said this was boulder strewn, right?

328
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:31,120
Very boulder strewn.

329
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,679
Okay, I like behind a boulder.

330
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:34,399
Make a stealth check.

331
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:38,000
What are you doing at the entrance there?

332
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,719
Everybody else?

333
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,480
Just watching Thea dance behind boulders?

334
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:45,439
Yeah, it's a six.

335
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,320
So Thea thinks she's really sneaky and she stops

336
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,080
and she puts her hands out and then she tucks and rolls.

337
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,520
It makes a little bit of noise

338
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,000
because everything starts rattling together that she's carrying.

339
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,480
And the cyclops notice and they look up

340
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,040
and they notice over to you and all the other people entering.

341
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,000
Because I'm the only one who clumsily jumped behind a boulder

342
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,720
and just left you guys.

343
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,720
I'm picturing like, you know,

344
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,120
when like a five-year-old does a somersault,

345
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920
then it's so cute, but like not good.

346
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:20,720
That's what I'm picturing.

347
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,680
I think that's what it was.

348
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,279
It's so cute, it's nice.

349
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:26,960
And then you see them kind of exchange a few unheard words

350
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,960
and they play a sort of game

351
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,200
that's analogous to rock, paper, scissors.

352
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:38,639
And one loses and both cyclops begin to approach you

353
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,320
and they don't appear to be carrying any weapons.

354
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,520
How big are cyclopses?

355
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,800
Are they like giant?

356
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,240
Like, are they, they're big, right?

357
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:46,720
Yeah.

358
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:46,960
Yeah.

359
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,000
I know we've seen them before.

360
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,040
Well, you guys did run into one in a certain cave

361
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,680
in the Patriot games, so.

362
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,680
Yeah, cyclops are huge giants.

363
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,000
So they are, yeah, they are quite big.

364
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:00,800
Okay.

365
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,879
They are walking towards you.

366
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:04,320
They don't appear to have any weapons.

367
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,560
I want to climb up on the boulder.

368
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Okay, you don't have to roll.

369
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,880
You can just climb up on the boulder.

370
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,840
Good, because.

371
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:12,320
You don't have to roll.

372
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,320
I haven't rolled over a 10 yet.

373
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,280
Just climb up on the boulder.

374
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,519
I haven't rolled over a five yet.

375
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:21,040
I think I need to start rolling with my right hand.

376
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,480
This is me taking off my wrist brace

377
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,160
for those of you playing the home game.

378
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,519
I love Amy's strategies to have better rolls.

379
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:33,759
Use different dice, use my other hand.

380
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:35,200
You should start using the digital dice,

381
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,320
see if those do better for you.

382
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,759
No, I want to roll.

383
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,639
What is everybody else doing?

384
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:43,199
Flame McKinsey is like, yeah, I want to be up on a rock, too.

385
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:47,199
I just kind of give them like a like a wave, like a hello.

386
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,039
One of them waves back to you.

387
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,639
That's very nice.

388
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:52,000
Oh, that's nice.

389
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,159
Kind of surprising.

390
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:55,840
Nularaaa, you and Thaddeus are just chilling

391
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:58,639
and they continue towards you.

392
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:02,240
And as they get to about within 20 feet of you,

393
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,279
the one that lost the game

394
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,400
scoops up a small boulder from the ground

395
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,080
and gestures towards you and your party.

396
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,200
He then looks downfield and heaves the boulder 100 feet

397
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,759
where it bounces and rolls another 20 feet.

398
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,920
Both Cyclops then turn and face you

399
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,160
looking kind of expectant at you.

400
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,680
I am applauding wildly.

401
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:28,640
Me, too.

402
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,360
I'll also clap.

403
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:31,519
I'm sitting crisscross applesauce on top of this boulder

404
00:17:31,519 --> 00:17:34,720
just like, well, once you guys start clapping,

405
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,040
I'll start clapping because you look like an asshole.

406
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,480
Exactly.

407
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,720
I don't want to be the dick that's not clapping.

408
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,000
Plus, it was an impressive throw and good throw there.

409
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,720
They're just standing staring at you as you applaud them.

410
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,279
I say that was a great throwing.

411
00:17:50,879 --> 00:17:51,920
Should one of us throw?

412
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,119
None of them respond.

413
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,359
I pick up a little like pebble that I find on top of the boulder and I have it.

414
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,519
You throw a pebble and they look at it

415
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,119
and look at each other and kind of chuckle and then look back at you.

416
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,039
What language do they speak?

417
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:06,639
Giant or do they have Cyclops?

418
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,680
Do they have their own language?

419
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,040
I believe it's giant.

420
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,880
No, yeah, you know they speak giant.

421
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,200
I don't speak giant.

422
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:13,680
I do.

423
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:22,240
So I say, hello, we're trying to get to the tower.

424
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Which way should we go?

425
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,440
They don't answer your question, but they say,

426
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,640
well, you need to play game.

427
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,560
Okay. Is it a throwing game?

428
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,440
Yes, you go pick up boulder.

429
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:41,120
You throw farther and then you pass.

430
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,360
Only one of us has to do that.

431
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:45,840
Only one has to throw further.

432
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,480
We all can go.

433
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:48,960
And any throws.

434
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,000
Okay.

435
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:50,960
Must go farther.

436
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,559
Okay. Nobody else speaks giant, right?

437
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,240
You guys?

438
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,840
Well, there is like a certain one,

439
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,759
someone in my head that does speak giant,

440
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:01,519
but he's not in control right now.

441
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:04,880
Okay. So anyway, so I explain what they said,

442
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,400
like we have to play this game.

443
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,080
If one of us can throw the boulder,

444
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,160
pick up the boulder and throw it further

445
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,000
than they did, then we can go.

446
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,520
That's ridiculous.

447
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,840
But your magic, don't you have like.

448
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,840
Oh yeah, maybe lightning.

449
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,560
Maybe like Thaddeus could do something.

450
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Maybe Thaddeus has Thaddeus.

451
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,440
Do you know Mage Hand?

452
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,440
Mage Hand lifts 10 pounds.

453
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,040
Max.

454
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,040
Well, some DM did their research.

455
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,640
Geez, yeah.

456
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:35,520
Hang on here.

457
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,840
Let me just bring up Thaddeus's character sheet

458
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,720
because I have an idea.

459
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,080
I could conjure something that could maybe

460
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,320
carry something this big.

461
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,120
I don't know if I could get it to throw it though.

462
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:51,360
We need to like put a levitate spell

463
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,120
on something or something so that it,

464
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,760
you know, so that it's light.

465
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,120
So we can just like push it.

466
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,280
I hope they don't speak common.

467
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,960
So we're just talking strategy.

468
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,080
They're just staring at you.

469
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,240
They don't seem to be minding too much.

470
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,200
Thaddeus does have a levitate spell,

471
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:10,559
but it can, let's see here,

472
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:13,120
can rise up to 20 feet,

473
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:14,960
but it will just be like suspended there.

474
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,319
So yeah, I guess we'd have to like

475
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:18,720
push it or something to.

476
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,799
Well, we'd have to like cast it,

477
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:24,720
pretend to lift it, throw it, right?

478
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,920
I assume magic is against the rules probably,

479
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,440
but there's no way we can do it.

480
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,559
Otherwise, I don't think.

481
00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:31,759
Yeah.

482
00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:34,240
My other solution also involves magic.

483
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:37,200
They haven't said no magic.

484
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,200
I don't want to ask because I feel like.

485
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:41,119
Because yeah, Thaddeus,

486
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,240
with grants a spell book also has induce or,

487
00:20:44,879 --> 00:20:46,319
or enlarge or reduce.

488
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:51,839
So you could take like a small or yeah,

489
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:53,039
like a small rock,

490
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:54,159
lift it up, throw it,

491
00:20:54,159 --> 00:20:55,279
and as it's being thrown,

492
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:57,759
like transform it into a large rock.

493
00:20:57,759 --> 00:20:58,259
Right.

494
00:20:59,220 --> 00:21:01,859
Still, that's still awfully far throw.

495
00:21:01,859 --> 00:21:03,379
Yes, it's a long way to go.

496
00:21:03,379 --> 00:21:04,740
We would need a lot of strength

497
00:21:04,740 --> 00:21:05,700
to do something like that.

498
00:21:06,420 --> 00:21:09,700
Also, levitate only has a 60 foot range,

499
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:11,539
so Thaddeus would have to like

500
00:21:11,539 --> 00:21:12,339
you'd have to chase it.

501
00:21:12,339 --> 00:21:13,619
Walk alongside it.

502
00:21:18,339 --> 00:21:20,980
But it can levitate something up to 500 pounds,

503
00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:21,619
so that's good.

504
00:21:21,619 --> 00:21:23,299
We make some sort of catapults.

505
00:21:23,940 --> 00:21:25,220
I don't know how to do that.

506
00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:27,220
Some sort of trebuchet.

507
00:21:28,259 --> 00:21:28,759
Hmm.

508
00:21:29,379 --> 00:21:32,579
In theory, probably like one of us

509
00:21:32,579 --> 00:21:33,700
could know how to do that.

510
00:21:34,339 --> 00:21:36,180
But I mean, I'm a former soldier.

511
00:21:36,180 --> 00:21:37,460
Quickly, exactly.

512
00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:38,500
But not like.

513
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:40,740
We need a half a day to build this.

514
00:21:40,740 --> 00:21:43,700
Yeah, don't worry, Iskander.

515
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:44,339
We're coming.

516
00:21:44,339 --> 00:21:45,539
We're in a hurry.

517
00:21:45,539 --> 00:21:47,460
We're like, we're doing a trebuchet.

518
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,660
Has the door behind us disappeared?

519
00:21:51,460 --> 00:21:53,140
Should we just leave you guys like.

520
00:21:54,740 --> 00:21:56,420
Oh, this is throw or what?

521
00:21:56,980 --> 00:21:58,580
Uh, we'll we'll see.

522
00:21:58,580 --> 00:22:00,259
We're just we're talking strategy.

523
00:22:00,259 --> 00:22:03,539
We're not as naturally gifted as you at throwing.

524
00:22:03,539 --> 00:22:05,060
Oh, yeah, you you puny.

525
00:22:05,779 --> 00:22:06,660
Yeah, we are.

526
00:22:08,580 --> 00:22:11,539
Could we, uh, can we can we go back

527
00:22:11,539 --> 00:22:13,539
the way we came and maybe come back later?

528
00:22:13,539 --> 00:22:14,420
Try and play the game.

529
00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:16,980
I mean, sure.

530
00:22:17,620 --> 00:22:18,900
Okay, okay, guys.

531
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:20,820
They're not going to try and stop us

532
00:22:20,820 --> 00:22:21,860
if we leave the way we came.

533
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,900
We can leave and go try a different one.

534
00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:27,460
I mean, I'm into it.

535
00:22:27,460 --> 00:22:27,940
Let's go.

536
00:22:28,740 --> 00:22:30,740
So you you exit back the way you came.

537
00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:31,220
Yeah.

538
00:22:31,220 --> 00:22:31,700
All right.

539
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:36,740
So there's no shame in running away.

540
00:22:36,740 --> 00:22:37,620
Well, because we don't know.

541
00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:39,620
Like last time it just like scooped us back in.

542
00:22:40,180 --> 00:22:40,820
But you're right.

543
00:22:40,820 --> 00:22:41,940
Let's just try a different one.

544
00:22:41,940 --> 00:22:43,380
It's not like we have to go there

545
00:22:43,380 --> 00:22:44,980
because that's where we ended up.

546
00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:46,740
Or maybe we do, but we'll find out.

547
00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:47,700
All right, well, let's go because

548
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:48,980
I wasn't going to lift that thing.

549
00:22:49,940 --> 00:22:52,340
And you guys all begin to walk back out

550
00:22:52,340 --> 00:22:54,580
the way you came and you walk for bad.

551
00:22:55,059 --> 00:22:56,659
A little less than a minute this time.

552
00:22:56,659 --> 00:23:00,099
And you find yourselves back in the open pasture.

553
00:23:00,099 --> 00:23:01,139
God damn it.

554
00:23:01,139 --> 00:23:04,019
And the cyclops see you and they're like, ha ha ha.

555
00:23:05,299 --> 00:23:08,099
They thought they could leave without throwing boulder.

556
00:23:08,659 --> 00:23:09,699
You guys.

557
00:23:09,699 --> 00:23:10,740
You guys got us.

558
00:23:10,740 --> 00:23:11,539
We got them.

559
00:23:11,539 --> 00:23:12,579
Yeah, we did.

560
00:23:12,579 --> 00:23:13,460
You got us.

561
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:14,659
So you throw a boulder or what?

562
00:23:15,619 --> 00:23:16,339
Yeah, we're going to.

563
00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:19,059
I try to get the boulder nearest to me.

564
00:23:19,059 --> 00:23:20,659
We're going to work something out.

565
00:23:20,659 --> 00:23:21,539
No, you throw.

566
00:23:21,539 --> 00:23:22,500
You throw a boulder.

567
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:23,299
We we threw.

568
00:23:24,579 --> 00:23:25,460
That way it's fair.

569
00:23:26,659 --> 00:23:28,099
Oh, same boulder.

570
00:23:28,099 --> 00:23:30,099
Well, that's that's why it's fair.

571
00:23:30,099 --> 00:23:31,220
Yeah, that you.

572
00:23:32,259 --> 00:23:33,539
That's you're right.

573
00:23:33,539 --> 00:23:34,099
You're right.

574
00:23:34,740 --> 00:23:35,299
What do you say?

575
00:23:36,339 --> 00:23:40,500
So we need to go throw the boulder that he threw so that it's fair.

576
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,339
I start walking to the boulder.

577
00:23:42,339 --> 00:23:43,460
OK, me too.

578
00:23:43,460 --> 00:23:45,939
I mean, I want to let's go see this thing.

579
00:23:45,939 --> 00:23:48,099
Maybe it's a lot later than we think it's going to be.

580
00:23:48,099 --> 00:23:49,699
It's not spoiler alert.

581
00:23:49,699 --> 00:23:50,659
It's probably not.

582
00:23:51,299 --> 00:23:51,779
But you're right.

583
00:23:51,779 --> 00:23:52,500
It's worth a shot.

584
00:23:53,380 --> 00:23:56,339
Yeah, as you approach the boulder that they threw,

585
00:23:57,539 --> 00:24:00,819
you you you examine it's about two feet in diameter

586
00:24:00,819 --> 00:24:02,900
and just given it the old heave hole,

587
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:07,059
you could probably guess that it weighs about 500 pounds, maybe more.

588
00:24:07,059 --> 00:24:07,619
Oh, my God.

589
00:24:07,619 --> 00:24:09,380
And it's only two feet.

590
00:24:09,380 --> 00:24:10,900
It's a hefty boulder.

591
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:12,980
That's some dense, dense in diameter.

592
00:24:12,980 --> 00:24:16,660
It's a dense, like heavy, heavy rock.

593
00:24:16,660 --> 00:24:18,500
Guys, this must be like a million pounds.

594
00:24:23,380 --> 00:24:27,059
Ah, OK, you've got a good idea.

595
00:24:27,059 --> 00:24:27,700
Yeah, I do want to.

596
00:24:28,579 --> 00:24:30,900
How many tries do we have to throw it the farthest?

597
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:36,099
Is it just we just keep throwing till we get it or we throw once

598
00:24:36,099 --> 00:24:39,380
and like something horrible will happen?

599
00:24:40,099 --> 00:24:42,339
This is a good question, which I then ask them.

600
00:24:43,059 --> 00:24:46,180
You just have to throw boulder farther than we throw boulder.

601
00:24:47,460 --> 00:24:50,099
OK, we just have to throw it further than they threw it.

602
00:24:51,060 --> 00:24:54,820
This is flawed because we're going to get tired after the first time and then.

603
00:24:55,860 --> 00:25:00,820
Well, there's I think no way we can throw it non-magically.

604
00:25:00,820 --> 00:25:02,740
We can't even lift it non-magically.

605
00:25:02,740 --> 00:25:04,900
All of us working together could lift it.

606
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:08,420
OK, guys, I think I think here's our play.

607
00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:12,900
So I got that rod, a lordly mite that can turn into a ladder.

608
00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:16,900
So what we do is we find a really big boulder,

609
00:25:17,540 --> 00:25:23,940
put the ladder over top of it with at the halfway point lower,

610
00:25:25,140 --> 00:25:28,420
the one half of it down with this smaller boulder

611
00:25:28,420 --> 00:25:33,220
that we need to throw over 120 feet onto the end of it and kind of lock it in place.

612
00:25:33,860 --> 00:25:39,700
And then, you know, as we put all of our combined weight into the other end of the

613
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:45,780
ladder and thus create some sort of launching system to throw this boulder as far as we

614
00:25:45,779 --> 00:25:53,299
possibly can. So you want to create leverage using your ladder and another boulder as a fulcrum?

615
00:25:53,299 --> 00:25:56,180
Yes, that's that's exactly the words I was looking for.

616
00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:57,379
Can't I just use magic?

617
00:25:58,180 --> 00:26:02,660
I mean, I don't know, shit all over my great idea, Thaddeus, whatever.

618
00:26:04,339 --> 00:26:06,180
No, you do you, man. I want to see this happen.

619
00:26:06,819 --> 00:26:07,940
Yeah, I want to see something.

620
00:26:08,660 --> 00:26:10,740
It was too good. It was too beautiful to live.

621
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:12,899
It was too good. I feel like.

622
00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:19,220
I think we should try Flint's plan because we need to save spells.

623
00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:20,019
It's a good point.

624
00:26:20,019 --> 00:26:20,500
I agree.

625
00:26:21,060 --> 00:26:23,060
Also, way more fun.

626
00:26:24,660 --> 00:26:25,540
Yeah, let's work together.

627
00:26:25,540 --> 00:26:27,620
Let's work together. I like it.

628
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:30,180
Teamwork. And I jump into the air.

629
00:26:30,180 --> 00:26:34,180
What's the combined weight of everybody if that's what you're doing?

630
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:40,820
I mean, not that I'm going to do all the physics behind it, but it'll give me an idea.

631
00:26:40,820 --> 00:26:42,740
I'm 110 pounds.

632
00:26:42,740 --> 00:26:45,940
Flint is a hundred and sixty four pounds.

633
00:26:46,660 --> 00:26:48,099
Twenty five of which is beard.

634
00:26:48,099 --> 00:26:48,660
Hey, Thea.

635
00:26:49,460 --> 00:26:51,539
Whoa, I'm way.

636
00:26:51,539 --> 00:26:52,500
Yeah, you're way fish.

637
00:26:53,539 --> 00:26:54,819
I forget how tall I am.

638
00:26:54,819 --> 00:26:58,019
I probably weigh like one hundred and sixty pounds.

639
00:26:58,019 --> 00:26:59,220
I'm like normal size.

640
00:26:59,940 --> 00:27:02,180
Geez, Thaddeus is one hundred and forty three.

641
00:27:03,220 --> 00:27:04,579
Thaddeus is a skinny dude, too.

642
00:27:06,180 --> 00:27:08,180
I'm surprised that Flint was that skinny.

643
00:27:08,180 --> 00:27:09,460
Well, he's only four foot eight.

644
00:27:10,579 --> 00:27:12,180
He's but thick.

645
00:27:12,180 --> 00:27:16,340
I'm five foot two and I don't weigh that much less than that.

646
00:27:16,340 --> 00:27:17,940
And I am not a dwarf.

647
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:20,019
Flamikins Kins is fifty two pounds.

648
00:27:20,019 --> 00:27:21,539
Oh, all right.

649
00:27:21,539 --> 00:27:22,259
It's canon now.

650
00:27:22,259 --> 00:27:23,620
One hundred and ninety four pounds.

651
00:27:24,259 --> 00:27:25,380
One hundred and ninety four.

652
00:27:25,380 --> 00:27:26,980
You're like skinny shaming Flint.

653
00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:27,539
We didn't mean to.

654
00:27:27,539 --> 00:27:30,820
Combined, you all weigh five hundred fifty nine pounds.

655
00:27:30,820 --> 00:27:31,779
And Donnie.

656
00:27:31,779 --> 00:27:32,259
Donnie.

657
00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:35,299
Who is bigger now.

658
00:27:35,299 --> 00:27:38,740
And Donnie can like take a head start flying into that thing.

659
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:41,060
Yeah, see, I get guacamole.

660
00:27:41,059 --> 00:27:43,379
Oh, guac, of course, guacamole out.

661
00:27:44,019 --> 00:27:47,460
OK, so let's say we're up to like seven hundred.

662
00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:51,059
Let's say we're up to like seven hundred pounds, maybe more.

663
00:27:51,059 --> 00:27:52,259
Let's go eight hundred pounds.

664
00:27:52,259 --> 00:27:54,419
OK, I don't know how physics works.

665
00:27:54,419 --> 00:27:56,980
I didn't know we were going to get like a math master class.

666
00:27:57,779 --> 00:27:59,940
No, I'm just I'm just using it for my own.

667
00:27:59,940 --> 00:28:04,259
We need more weight to push down if we don't weigh as much or have much as.

668
00:28:04,259 --> 00:28:08,740
OK, so how this is going to work is this is Flint's idea.

669
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:12,019
So it's all his fault if it doesn't work.

670
00:28:12,019 --> 00:28:15,059
Flint is going to be making the roles for it.

671
00:28:15,059 --> 00:28:21,140
OK, anybody can assist in those roles to give advantage.

672
00:28:21,140 --> 00:28:22,259
But that's what we're going to do.

673
00:28:22,259 --> 00:28:24,339
So how many times can we do that?

674
00:28:24,339 --> 00:28:25,859
Explain to explain to me.

675
00:28:25,859 --> 00:28:27,700
Well, we'll see what happens in the first one.

676
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:31,220
Explain explain to me what happens during the setup.

677
00:28:31,220 --> 00:28:34,660
OK, so we find the biggest boulder that we can.

678
00:28:34,660 --> 00:28:38,099
Like maybe the one that was kind of the size that Amy was sitting on

679
00:28:38,180 --> 00:28:39,780
earlier, whatever.

680
00:28:39,780 --> 00:28:43,620
Because I imagine we have to throw it either back to the Giants

681
00:28:43,620 --> 00:28:46,980
or from like that's what I was thinking back this way.

682
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:47,780
Like, I'm not sure.

683
00:28:47,780 --> 00:28:52,580
OK, so we find a rock that's close by that's bigger than the one

684
00:28:52,580 --> 00:28:54,740
that we're needing to throw.

685
00:28:54,740 --> 00:28:58,420
And we use the ladder with the big rock as what do you call it?

686
00:28:58,420 --> 00:29:00,820
A fulcrum in the middle.

687
00:29:00,820 --> 00:29:02,900
Yes, we're making simple machines.

688
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:07,220
It's been so long since I did any of this stuff in like math

689
00:29:07,220 --> 00:29:10,900
that I forgotten all about it because you don't need math in the real world.

690
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:14,980
Listeners, please correct us if we are using 100 percent.

691
00:29:14,980 --> 00:29:15,779
We're wrong.

692
00:29:15,779 --> 00:29:17,380
Yeah, 100 percent.

693
00:29:17,380 --> 00:29:21,940
But yeah, so we use we use a larger rock as like the fulcrum

694
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:26,259
and have the ladder in its full mode, which it can support up

695
00:29:26,259 --> 00:29:28,579
to five thousand pounds or something, the book said.

696
00:29:28,579 --> 00:29:31,220
So we should be free and clear as far as that's concerned.

697
00:29:31,220 --> 00:29:34,900
We have the boulder that we need to throw weighing it down

698
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:37,300
on one end like like a seesaw.

699
00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:42,500
And then we all pile on the other end in like some sort of, I don't know,

700
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:45,780
maybe we all jump off guacamole and land on the fucking thing.

701
00:29:45,780 --> 00:29:46,900
I don't know.

702
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:50,980
But somehow we need to all put all of our weight on that end

703
00:29:50,980 --> 00:29:57,220
and hurl that so well, even just like, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah,

704
00:29:57,220 --> 00:29:58,740
that would work, too. Right.

705
00:30:00,740 --> 00:30:02,500
The I feel like it would crush us.

706
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:06,980
The only thing I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to probably change here,

707
00:30:06,980 --> 00:30:12,259
not change, because this is this is canon is how it's been portrayed within the game

708
00:30:12,259 --> 00:30:16,819
is the the ladder you're speaking of is more of a pole with like

709
00:30:17,460 --> 00:30:18,980
things that shoot out the side.

710
00:30:18,980 --> 00:30:22,819
So it's a climbing pole, not so much a dual side.

711
00:30:22,819 --> 00:30:25,140
A pogo stick with many different.

712
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:28,019
Pretty sure that's how we've described it before.

713
00:30:29,779 --> 00:30:30,819
I do not remember the way.

714
00:30:31,139 --> 00:30:33,139
Neither, but that makes sense.

715
00:30:33,139 --> 00:30:36,419
I mean, it makes sense if it's like a sword like that.

716
00:30:36,419 --> 00:30:37,779
It's a rod.

717
00:30:37,779 --> 00:30:41,539
And then it just seems it seems reasonable, I guess.

718
00:30:42,179 --> 00:30:45,700
It does have a spike at the bottom and three hooks at the top, though.

719
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:50,019
So in theory, you could manipulate that to hold that boulder in place.

720
00:30:50,019 --> 00:30:51,779
Yeah, OK. Yeah, sure.

721
00:30:51,779 --> 00:30:56,980
Yeah, this is going to be a that's going to be a straight strength roll.

722
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:59,220
OK, that's like my best one.

723
00:30:59,220 --> 00:31:04,740
Because so all of you are trying to aid Flint or you're all aiding in the thing.

724
00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:06,660
But yeah, so Flint is going to make the role.

725
00:31:06,660 --> 00:31:10,339
Anybody who wants to aid can give assistance.

726
00:31:11,539 --> 00:31:15,059
And then I believe it's just advantage that they that he gets.

727
00:31:16,579 --> 00:31:19,220
Is this going to be like a rule that we could have been using

728
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:21,220
the entire time we've been playing, but never knew?

729
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:24,339
Actions in combat.

730
00:31:24,339 --> 00:31:26,100
This is the page that you should look at.

731
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:27,380
Probably a thing we should have read.

732
00:31:28,340 --> 00:31:32,900
So you can you can lend your aid to another creature in the completion of a task

733
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:34,340
when you take the help action.

734
00:31:34,340 --> 00:31:37,220
The creature you aid gains advantage on the next ability check

735
00:31:37,220 --> 00:31:40,340
it makes to perform the task you are helping with,

736
00:31:40,340 --> 00:31:45,220
provided provided that it makes the check before the start of your next turn.

737
00:31:45,220 --> 00:31:47,300
Alternatively, you can aid a friendly creature,

738
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:48,900
attacking a creature within five feet of you.

739
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:51,860
You faint distraction to cause advantage.

740
00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:56,100
So like I could get on my hands and knees behind someone that the is fighting

741
00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:58,660
and she could push that person over top of me.

742
00:31:58,660 --> 00:31:59,860
Yep, it's a classic move.

743
00:32:00,740 --> 00:32:05,060
Or like if you were a tabaxi, you could like get the crowd pumped up.

744
00:32:05,060 --> 00:32:05,620
Oh, yeah.

745
00:32:05,620 --> 00:32:06,900
To distract people.

746
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:07,780
Yep, yep, yep, yep.

747
00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:14,260
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cat.

748
00:32:14,260 --> 00:32:14,980
It's amazing.

749
00:32:14,980 --> 00:32:16,820
You really should listen to it.

750
00:32:16,820 --> 00:32:17,860
We need that T-shirt.

751
00:32:17,860 --> 00:32:18,980
That needs to be coming.

752
00:32:18,980 --> 00:32:20,100
That's my favorite.

753
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:21,940
It's one of my favorite things.

754
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:23,540
Are you not entertained?

755
00:32:23,540 --> 00:32:24,740
We do need that on a show.

756
00:32:24,740 --> 00:32:28,019
But it's just for patrons of only people that have heard it anyway.

757
00:32:28,019 --> 00:32:29,220
Well, that's an inside joke.

758
00:32:29,220 --> 00:32:30,500
It is an inside joke.

759
00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:33,859
Also, we're still learning so much about how Dumbgeons and Dragons work.

760
00:32:33,859 --> 00:32:34,339
That's true.

761
00:32:34,339 --> 00:32:35,140
Help, guys.

762
00:32:35,140 --> 00:32:36,420
That's an action we can do.

763
00:32:37,220 --> 00:32:37,859
OK, so what?

764
00:32:37,859 --> 00:32:38,099
Sorry.

765
00:32:38,099 --> 00:32:39,299
What's your strength there?

766
00:32:39,940 --> 00:32:41,059
My strength is 19.

767
00:32:42,420 --> 00:32:45,940
OK, and you're rolling with advantage.

768
00:32:45,940 --> 00:32:46,740
My homies.

769
00:32:47,539 --> 00:32:49,460
I am rolling with my homies.

770
00:32:49,460 --> 00:32:52,099
He is almost literally rolling with his homies.

771
00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:55,060
OK, so I guess I get two rolls in.

772
00:32:55,780 --> 00:32:56,420
You sure do.

773
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:03,060

Next episode will be out next Wednesday, August 22nd.

802
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:39,059
Let's jump back into the maze and see if the dice are ever in the player's favor.

803
00:34:39,859 --> 00:34:41,379
Have a great week. We'll talk soon.

804
00:34:42,019 --> 00:34:49,460
All right, first role was a 15, so that's a 19.

805
00:34:50,740 --> 00:34:54,500
Second role is also a 15 or 19.

806
00:34:56,180 --> 00:34:58,579
That is the third 15 I've rolled tonight.

807
00:34:58,579 --> 00:34:59,300
You already did help.

808
00:35:00,820 --> 00:35:01,860
That was his advantage.

809
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:07,940
So with a 19, you all like in one fell swoop,

810
00:35:07,940 --> 00:35:11,059
guacamole and Donnie are trying to use all their might.

811
00:35:11,940 --> 00:35:20,500
And you manage to get the bowler up and it's in the air and it flies for seems like forever.

812
00:35:21,860 --> 00:35:28,900
But then it lands about 40 feet away and rolls about 20 feet.

813
00:35:29,539 --> 00:35:32,500
And Nulara hears the giant say, not far enough.

814
00:35:33,220 --> 00:35:34,019
Dang, guys.

815
00:35:34,019 --> 00:35:34,740
Does she yell back?

816
00:35:34,740 --> 00:35:35,220
No, shit.

817
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:38,020
I was worried it was going to land on a sheep.

818
00:35:39,380 --> 00:35:41,300
I was worried it was just going to land on us.

819
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:45,460
Directly on us and end of campaign.

820
00:35:45,460 --> 00:35:46,660
I didn't even have to do it.

821
00:35:46,660 --> 00:35:47,620
You did it yourself.

822
00:35:48,820 --> 00:35:51,140
That would be hilarious.

823
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:53,220
God, what an end.

824
00:35:53,220 --> 00:35:54,340
What an end to three years.

825
00:35:55,940 --> 00:35:59,620
I love it in a rock throwing contest.

826
00:35:59,620 --> 00:36:01,540
We might need to use magic, you guys.

827
00:36:01,540 --> 00:36:03,700
I just I don't think we're strong enough.

828
00:36:03,779 --> 00:36:05,299
So what do you guys got?

829
00:36:06,339 --> 00:36:07,539
Yeah, Thaddeus, what you got?

830
00:36:07,539 --> 00:36:12,500
I mean, I got levitate or I mean, I got reduce and large.

831
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:15,139
I can make it small and one of you big.

832
00:36:15,699 --> 00:36:22,339
But I don't think that's going to fly for the actual boulder itself.

833
00:36:22,339 --> 00:36:24,419
Has to be the same size when we throw it.

834
00:36:24,419 --> 00:36:26,899
But no, they said it has to be the same boulder.

835
00:36:26,899 --> 00:36:28,419
They didn't say it has to be the same size.

836
00:36:30,019 --> 00:36:30,500
It's true.

837
00:36:31,619 --> 00:36:32,099
I don't know.

838
00:36:32,099 --> 00:36:32,739
Just ask them.

839
00:36:34,020 --> 00:36:44,980
Are we so technically speaking, it just needs to be the same boulder, correct?

840
00:36:44,980 --> 00:36:46,820
Yeah, yeah.

841
00:36:46,820 --> 00:36:48,260
Do they not get it?

842
00:36:48,260 --> 00:36:50,980
No, I don't think I don't think they get it.

843
00:36:50,980 --> 00:36:55,620
OK, so you pick up that boulder that you just that one.

844
00:36:55,620 --> 00:36:59,060
You did very good job, but not good enough.

845
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:02,340
So you take that boulder and you throw it farther.

846
00:37:02,980 --> 00:37:05,140
OK, you just do it.

847
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:10,340
OK, is this like a matrix situation where you can just like dispend our belief

848
00:37:10,340 --> 00:37:13,620
in like the law of physics and it'll just go as far as we want it to go?

849
00:37:14,820 --> 00:37:15,940
I don't know what you're referring.

850
00:37:15,940 --> 00:37:17,620
I was asking Russ, not the Cyclops.

851
00:37:21,220 --> 00:37:25,220
Well, it sounds like I mean, they think I'm a real dumb dumb.

852
00:37:25,220 --> 00:37:26,980
We just got to throw that boulder.

853
00:37:26,980 --> 00:37:29,380
So Thaddeus, it's your shrink it.

854
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:30,019
It's your magic.

855
00:37:30,019 --> 00:37:31,220
What's going to work best?

856
00:37:31,220 --> 00:37:31,700
Do you think?

857
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:35,220
I mean, if I levitate it, we can.

858
00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:38,180
Push, push it.

859
00:37:40,340 --> 00:37:41,380
See if that works.

860
00:37:41,380 --> 00:37:44,019
I mean, worse, they say is no, it doesn't seem like they want to hurt us.

861
00:37:44,579 --> 00:37:45,380
This is true.

862
00:37:45,380 --> 00:37:46,500
Let's try that first.

863
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:51,220
It seems less seems like we could play it off more naturally.

864
00:37:51,780 --> 00:37:54,019
I don't think we have to play it off naturally at this point.

865
00:37:54,019 --> 00:37:55,300
I think we just need to make it happen.

866
00:37:55,860 --> 00:37:56,420
Yeah, fair.

867
00:37:57,380 --> 00:38:02,260
Can we push it with his Rod of Lordly Might and just kind of walk it over to the 150?

868
00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:04,020
We can't walk it over.

869
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:04,900
They have to throw it.

870
00:38:05,940 --> 00:38:10,500
Well, Thaddeus is going to have to walk with it for a little bit because he can have 60

871
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:12,260
feet of range on either side.

872
00:38:12,260 --> 00:38:14,100
So, yeah, he can just run beside it.

873
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:17,540
But I think to give it a good shove, I don't know.

874
00:38:18,340 --> 00:38:20,020
We could do the ladder trick again.

875
00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:20,900
It'll be light.

876
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:22,100
It'll go further.

877
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:22,340
Sure.

878
00:38:22,340 --> 00:38:23,540
Let's give it a try.

879
00:38:23,540 --> 00:38:26,260
I don't think it'll go directionally the way we want to go.

880
00:38:26,260 --> 00:38:30,580
If it's levitate, won't it just continue on straight up in the air?

881
00:38:31,539 --> 00:38:32,980
Excuse me, Cyclops's.

882
00:38:32,980 --> 00:38:37,299
What happens if we technically it would be further disappeared?

883
00:38:37,299 --> 00:38:38,819
That's going to kill sheep later.

884
00:38:39,539 --> 00:38:42,340
Three hours later, you just hear a strangled cry.

885
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:47,299
Betsy, no, Betsy.

886
00:38:48,019 --> 00:38:48,900
Interesting.

887
00:38:49,860 --> 00:38:51,380
Yeah, let's let's get it done.

888
00:38:52,980 --> 00:38:59,460
Thaddeus begins casting levitate and the boulder rises vertically.

889
00:39:00,579 --> 00:39:06,500
Up into the air about push ability height, which is about, I don't know, say 10 feet.

890
00:39:07,380 --> 00:39:09,860
It can go up to 20 feet, but you wouldn't be able to reach it then.

891
00:39:11,059 --> 00:39:11,940
It's a true story.

892
00:39:13,539 --> 00:39:16,659
I was going to say, does Thaddeus have to push it because it's his thing or I mean,

893
00:39:16,659 --> 00:39:19,380
I still think Flint should do it because he's by far the strongest of us.

894
00:39:19,380 --> 00:39:20,739
So it would go the furthest.

895
00:39:20,739 --> 00:39:23,219
So maybe if you could knock that down a little.

896
00:39:24,019 --> 00:39:25,699
I got to hop on someone's shoulders.

897
00:39:27,940 --> 00:39:29,940
He waves his hands and it goes down a little bit.

898
00:39:29,940 --> 00:39:30,740
All right, perfect.

899
00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:34,579
So, yeah, am I am I rolling for this, Russ, or am I just tossing it?

900
00:39:34,579 --> 00:39:35,380
What's happening here?

901
00:39:36,740 --> 00:39:37,619
What are you trying to do with it?

902
00:39:37,619 --> 00:39:39,139
Are you trying to push it or are you trying to throw it?

903
00:39:39,139 --> 00:39:39,619
Or are you trying?

904
00:39:39,619 --> 00:39:44,019
I am trying to throw slash push it.

905
00:39:44,019 --> 00:39:46,500
Yeah, kind of like give it the old heave ho.

906
00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:50,179
Like I'm throwing a ball in in soccer and I'm going over the head.

907
00:39:50,179 --> 00:39:50,980
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

908
00:39:50,980 --> 00:39:52,099
Yeah, sure.

909
00:39:52,099 --> 00:39:52,659
All right.

910
00:39:52,659 --> 00:39:53,539
Yeah, let's do that.

911
00:39:55,220 --> 00:39:57,460
Thaddeus is like, just don't don't throw it so fast.

912
00:39:58,179 --> 00:39:59,619
You can't run very fast.

913
00:39:59,699 --> 00:40:03,539
But if he has like a 40 or 50 foot head start on me,

914
00:40:03,539 --> 00:40:05,779
then it'll still be within the six year old range.

915
00:40:05,779 --> 00:40:08,339
Yeah, he'll already be halfway there.

916
00:40:08,339 --> 00:40:08,819
Yeah.

917
00:40:08,819 --> 00:40:12,339
So yeah, we'll say you have advantage because I assume somebody's helping you.

918
00:40:12,339 --> 00:40:13,299
I need a lot of help.

919
00:40:13,299 --> 00:40:16,579
So I assume that or just like encouraging from the side.

920
00:40:16,579 --> 00:40:16,819
All right.

921
00:40:16,819 --> 00:40:19,460
That's a 14.

922
00:40:19,460 --> 00:40:20,099
The first row.

923
00:40:20,099 --> 00:40:20,819
Oh, not 20.

924
00:40:24,339 --> 00:40:26,339
You walk up to you.

925
00:40:26,339 --> 00:40:29,380
You explain to me how you have and then I'll tell you what.

926
00:40:29,380 --> 00:40:33,380
So I've got it kind of in my in my hands.

927
00:40:33,380 --> 00:40:36,420
And then true to throwing a soccer ball in back to the field,

928
00:40:36,420 --> 00:40:40,900
I put it over my head and then hop like a step and a half forward

929
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:44,099
and give it the old heave ho towards Thaddeus.

930
00:40:44,660 --> 00:40:46,340
Doing my best to keep it level.

931
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:48,260
I don't want it on an angle of any sorts.

932
00:40:49,380 --> 00:40:49,860
Sure.

933
00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:52,579
Yeah, you do that and you're using all your might.

934
00:40:52,579 --> 00:40:56,420
And it feels pretty light to you at this point because of the reduced weight.

935
00:40:57,380 --> 00:40:58,260
You know, magic now.

936
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:04,579
And it begins to cruise towards the Giants area where the Giants threw from.

937
00:41:06,579 --> 00:41:09,700
Sorry, the Giants begins to cruise.

938
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:11,380
They are giant creatures.

939
00:41:11,380 --> 00:41:12,740
Yeah, but are they Giants?

940
00:41:13,619 --> 00:41:14,500
Technically, yes.

941
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:15,619
Cyclops is our Giants.

942
00:41:16,820 --> 00:41:17,860
They speak giant.

943
00:41:17,860 --> 00:41:18,579
They are giant.

944
00:41:18,579 --> 00:41:21,139
I'm learning so much today.

945
00:41:21,139 --> 00:41:22,019
Help Giants.

946
00:41:22,019 --> 00:41:23,300
It's mind blowing.

947
00:41:24,180 --> 00:41:29,380
Yeah, and it begins cruising along and it kind of catches up and surpasses Thaddeus

948
00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:35,140
and he begins to jog a little bit and it goes and it kind of parts the Cyclops

949
00:41:35,140 --> 00:41:40,820
and they step as it goes by and it hits the hedge and begins to roll sideways.

950
00:41:41,780 --> 00:41:45,539
And Thaddeus, once he thinks that it's made it past,

951
00:41:45,539 --> 00:41:49,380
he drops the levitate spell and it hits the ground and the Cyclops is

952
00:41:49,380 --> 00:41:51,300
kind of look back to where you threw it,

953
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:55,140
where theirs landed because you threw it from the second point from a different spot

954
00:41:55,940 --> 00:41:57,380
into where it landed now.

955
00:41:57,380 --> 00:42:00,660
And they turn to you and knew Laura, you hear them say,

956
00:42:00,660 --> 00:42:02,500
you did it puny people.

957
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:03,620
Yay.

958
00:42:03,620 --> 00:42:04,260
We did it.

959
00:42:07,940 --> 00:42:09,060
So what was the tower?

960
00:42:10,740 --> 00:42:11,380
You got to go.

961
00:42:13,380 --> 00:42:14,340
You got to go that way.

962
00:42:14,340 --> 00:42:16,180
But wait, but wait, hold on.

963
00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:18,019
You have to go back out that way.

964
00:42:18,019 --> 00:42:18,420
Hold on.

965
00:42:19,380 --> 00:42:23,300
And one of the Cyclops is goes and picks up another boulder

966
00:42:24,340 --> 00:42:30,180
and he lifts it above his head and smashes it down on top of the rock that you just threw.

967
00:42:32,659 --> 00:42:35,139
And it cracks open and reached.

968
00:42:35,139 --> 00:42:40,099
He reaches down into the rubble and like dust something off and walks over to you

969
00:42:40,099 --> 00:42:47,300
and hands you a topaz gemstone and says, you can go now, I guess.

970
00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:48,980
Thank you.

971
00:42:49,619 --> 00:42:50,340
We can go, guys.

972
00:42:50,340 --> 00:42:52,420
We're going to get all the birthstones, you guys.

973
00:42:52,420 --> 00:42:53,380
Yeah, totally.

974
00:42:53,380 --> 00:42:55,860
Is there some sort of gauntlet we could put this?

975
00:42:57,460 --> 00:42:58,180
That's right.

976
00:42:58,180 --> 00:43:01,940
So I assume you just bid your Cyclops's farewell.

977
00:43:01,940 --> 00:43:02,340
Indeed.

978
00:43:02,340 --> 00:43:05,300
Do you head out the way you came or the far side?

979
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:06,019
I got to go far.

980
00:43:06,019 --> 00:43:07,300
I guess the far side.

981
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:11,300
I mean, it just will probably take us back to the fucking sundial room, but maybe not.

982
00:43:12,019 --> 00:43:12,740
Maybe not.

983
00:43:12,740 --> 00:43:13,240
Yeah.

984
00:43:13,619 --> 00:43:17,700
You begin walking out and you pass through the pasture and you see sheep

985
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:22,020
and then you walk out and it's a it's a pretty quick journey this time.

986
00:43:22,020 --> 00:43:26,580
It only takes you about 30 seconds and you end up back in the sundial room

987
00:43:26,580 --> 00:43:31,060
with the sundial shadows still pointing to A and C.

988
00:43:31,620 --> 00:43:33,300
Where's the tower in relation?

989
00:43:34,740 --> 00:43:36,820
You actually don't see the tower this time.

990
00:43:37,620 --> 00:43:39,620
Kind of fuckery is this, Russ.

991
00:43:40,980 --> 00:43:41,540
I don't know.

992
00:43:41,540 --> 00:43:44,020
I like soups haven't figured it out.

993
00:43:44,020 --> 00:43:45,700
I don't know if you guys have, but.

994
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:47,700
Nope, sure, haven't figured it out yet.

995
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:49,700
Me neither.

996
00:43:49,700 --> 00:43:53,700
What way is our shadows like?

997
00:43:53,700 --> 00:43:59,700
Are they still counter counterintuitive to what's actually in the moonlight or on the sundial or?

998
00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:00,180
Yep.

999
00:44:00,180 --> 00:44:01,700
OK, yeah, it does.

1000
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:05,700
Yeah, they don't seem to be facing the same direction anybody shadow seems to be faced.

1001
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:09,700
Well, this everybody else's shadow seems to be facing where the moonlight is coming from.

1002
00:44:10,980 --> 00:44:13,380
But everybody else's or the sundial shadow.

1003
00:44:13,380 --> 00:44:15,380
But those shadows haven't moved.

1004
00:44:15,380 --> 00:44:19,380
Haven't moved, still pointed at the A and C exits.

1005
00:44:19,380 --> 00:44:23,380
Guys, it seems like we might just have to go through all of them.

1006
00:44:23,380 --> 00:44:27,380
All of them. Yeah, I mean, we've got we tried A and it circled around.

1007
00:44:27,380 --> 00:44:33,380
We went through C and found the jewels, went through H, found the giants.

1008
00:44:33,380 --> 00:44:35,380
So I don't know.

1009
00:44:35,380 --> 00:44:37,380
I think maybe we should go through A or C again.

1010
00:44:39,380 --> 00:44:41,380
Damn it, Amy.

1011
00:44:41,380 --> 00:44:43,380
Damn it, Amy.

1012
00:44:43,380 --> 00:44:47,380
When Russ smiles like that, it's the wrong thing to do.

1013
00:44:47,380 --> 00:44:52,380
Or when one of us says, I think we're just going to have to go through every single one of them.

1014
00:44:52,380 --> 00:44:54,380
And he goes like this.

1015
00:44:56,380 --> 00:44:59,380
Well, is that the wrong way?

1016
00:44:59,380 --> 00:45:01,380
When we went a better poker face.

1017
00:45:01,380 --> 00:45:05,380
When we went through A, nothing happened originally.

1018
00:45:05,380 --> 00:45:09,380
Right. It just circled us back around so we could try that again.

1019
00:45:09,380 --> 00:45:11,380
When you originally went through A.

1020
00:45:11,380 --> 00:45:13,380
Yeah. Like when it was only pointed at A.

1021
00:45:13,380 --> 00:45:17,380
Yeah. It came in and it was the shadows changed to A and C.

1022
00:45:17,380 --> 00:45:18,380
Yeah. And the tower.

1023
00:45:18,380 --> 00:45:20,380
But nothing happened when we went through A, right?

1024
00:45:20,380 --> 00:45:21,380
Yeah. This was what I was saying.

1025
00:45:21,380 --> 00:45:22,380
Let's try again.

1026
00:45:22,380 --> 00:45:23,380
Yeah. This is what I was saying.

1027
00:45:23,380 --> 00:45:24,380
In game, Russ.

1028
00:45:24,380 --> 00:45:26,380
Geez, Russ, yeah.

1029
00:45:26,380 --> 00:45:28,380
God, mind your own business.

1030
00:45:28,380 --> 00:45:30,380
God damn.

1031
00:45:30,380 --> 00:45:34,380
This weird voice coming from the heavens.

1032
00:45:34,380 --> 00:45:36,380
It's me, Iskander.

1033
00:45:36,380 --> 00:45:38,380
Have you figured it out yet?

1034
00:45:38,380 --> 00:45:39,380
Shut up, Iskander.

1035
00:45:39,380 --> 00:45:43,380
Or give us better tips.

1036
00:45:43,380 --> 00:45:45,380
Theo, do you want to try A again?

1037
00:45:45,380 --> 00:45:46,380
Sure.

1038
00:45:46,380 --> 00:45:47,380
Just to see?

1039
00:45:47,380 --> 00:45:48,380
Let's see what happens.

1040
00:45:48,380 --> 00:45:49,380
Yeah.

1041
00:45:49,380 --> 00:45:50,380
Now walk through A.

1042
00:45:53,380 --> 00:45:57,380
It's like another 40 seconds to walk down this winding path.

1043
00:45:57,380 --> 00:46:00,380
And you enter.

1044
00:46:00,380 --> 00:46:04,380
And ahead, you see a bubbling fountain.

1045
00:46:04,380 --> 00:46:06,380
Filling the pathway.

1046
00:46:07,380 --> 00:46:08,380
It's filling the pathway.

1047
00:46:08,380 --> 00:46:13,380
Large, bright flowers grow in the hedges on both sides of the fountain

1048
00:46:13,380 --> 00:46:16,380
and each blossom shimmering in the light.

1049
00:46:16,380 --> 00:46:21,380
The air smelling particularly fresh and sweet here.

1050
00:46:21,380 --> 00:46:27,380
So a large flower grows on each northern and southern side of each square.

1051
00:46:27,380 --> 00:46:29,380
Guys, it's so pretty in here.

1052
00:46:29,380 --> 00:46:31,380
Makes me think it's probably poison.

1053
00:46:31,380 --> 00:46:32,380
You're so cynical.

1054
00:46:32,380 --> 00:46:34,380
If only we had people that knew nature.

1055
00:46:34,380 --> 00:46:38,380
So this is like a long corridor with the path going up the center.

1056
00:46:38,380 --> 00:46:41,380
There is a bubbling fountain in the center.

1057
00:46:41,380 --> 00:46:45,380
There's large, bright flowers that grow in hedges on both sides of the fountain.

1058
00:46:45,380 --> 00:46:49,380
So imagine like your north is one hedge, south is one hedge,

1059
00:46:49,380 --> 00:46:51,380
and you cut through the center there.

1060
00:46:51,380 --> 00:46:55,380
As you get closer, you can see that the shimmering of the flowers

1061
00:46:55,380 --> 00:46:58,380
comes from a large pearl set into each one.

1062
00:47:04,380 --> 00:47:28,380
Some of the music in today's episode is by Kavin McLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io

1063
00:47:28,380 --> 00:47:31,380
and Scott Buckley at scottbuckley.com.au

1064
00:47:31,380 --> 00:47:36,380
So previously you guys found yourselves arriving at Zanthal's tower

1065
00:47:36,380 --> 00:47:42,380
and escorted into the maze where you saw who?

1066
00:47:42,380 --> 00:47:45,380
Screaming at you?

1067
00:47:45,380 --> 00:47:46,380
Magellan.

1068
00:47:46,380 --> 00:47:47,380
The dude we were supposed to see.

1069
00:47:47,380 --> 00:47:49,380
Yep, not Magellan.

1070
00:47:49,380 --> 00:47:51,380
Magellan.

1071
00:47:51,380 --> 00:47:52,380
Galileo.

1072
00:47:52,380 --> 00:47:54,380
I can't read your writings.

1073
00:47:54,380 --> 00:47:56,380
Which one of the astronomers was it?

1074
00:47:56,380 --> 00:47:59,380
And the sprinkle of gold breadcrumbs that Tom just threw

1075
00:47:59,380 --> 00:48:02,380
because money doesn't mean anything to you guys.

1076
00:48:02,380 --> 00:48:03,380
It doesn't.

1077
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:04,380
They're gone.

1078
00:48:04,380 --> 00:48:05,380
Are gone.

1079
00:48:05,380 --> 00:48:06,380
They weren't coppers.

1080
00:48:06,380 --> 00:48:07,380
It's no big thing.

1081
00:48:07,380 --> 00:48:09,380
It's like dropping pennies.

1082
00:48:09,380 --> 00:48:10,380
What are pennies?

1083
00:48:10,380 --> 00:48:13,380
The millennials who listen to us, eh?

1084
00:48:13,380 --> 00:48:15,380
Amy, we went over this.

1085
00:48:15,380 --> 00:48:16,380
You are a millennial.

1086
00:48:16,380 --> 00:48:17,380
I know.

1087
00:48:17,380 --> 00:48:20,380
But I'm not happy about it.

1088
00:48:20,380 --> 00:48:21,380
Sorry, Ross.

1089
00:48:21,380 --> 00:48:22,380
It's another podcast.

1090
00:48:22,380 --> 00:48:25,380
Are you a millennial?

1091
00:48:26,380 --> 00:48:29,380
Yep.

1092
00:48:29,380 --> 00:48:30,380
Yep, you do.

1093
00:48:30,380 --> 00:48:31,380
He's dialing up.

1094
00:48:31,380 --> 00:48:34,380
Hold on a second.

1095
00:48:34,380 --> 00:48:36,380
Because I can edit out crunches and stuff.

1096
00:48:36,380 --> 00:48:38,380
I can't edit out squeaks.

1097
00:48:38,380 --> 00:48:40,380
We've already apologized for the squeaks.

1098
00:48:40,380 --> 00:48:42,380
We want to see a real life throw.

1099
00:48:42,380 --> 00:48:43,380
Will you throw that squeaky toy?

1100
00:48:43,380 --> 00:48:47,380
It'll be analogous to you throwing that pebble in game.

1101
00:48:47,380 --> 00:48:49,380
Perfect.

1102
00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:50,380
Amazing.

1103
00:48:50,380 --> 00:48:51,380
So good.

1104
00:48:51,380 --> 00:48:52,380
I chucked this pebble.

1105
00:48:52,380 --> 00:48:58,380
And I say, wow, Carla, that was great.

1106
00:48:58,380 --> 00:49:00,380
That's what giant sounds like.

1107
00:49:00,380 --> 00:49:02,380
Not what I expected giant to sound like.

1108
00:49:02,380 --> 00:49:03,380
I know.

1109
00:49:03,380 --> 00:49:06,380
It's like when Mike Tyson speaks and you're like, really?

1110
00:49:06,380 --> 00:49:09,380
Wasn't expecting that.

1111
00:49:09,380 --> 00:49:16,380
Are they like big red flowers that just look like, are they in green plumbing

1112
00:49:16,380 --> 00:49:17,380
pipes?

1113
00:49:17,380 --> 00:49:19,380
There are like seven flowers.

1114
00:49:20,380 --> 00:49:23,380
How are we going to eat this as we walk by?

1115
00:49:23,380 --> 00:49:27,380
