00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,319
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:02,319 --> 00:00:06,960
It sounds like everybody had a great night and you now find yourselves waking up.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:13,200
You find a note. Meet the group for breakfast at the Yawning Court.

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,480
I brought you all here today. Wait, did I bring you all here today?

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,679
You brought us here?

6
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:19,359
I am breaking up the band.

7
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:20,080
What?

8
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:29,199
I have been recruited by the higher-ups in the airship squadrons to lead a group into battle.

9
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:32,240
Is this true, Flammikins? That doesn't sound right.

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,039
We're breaking up the band. I've been asked to join the Arcane Brotherhood's front.

11
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:43,519
When it comes to the final battle, we will be there providing support to you and to everybody else.

12
00:00:43,519 --> 00:00:47,120
What about you and the airships, Flammikins? Are you guys going to be there too?

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:54,640
I'm pretty sure. There was some talk about arranging how we're going to do this final attack here.

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,960
They just seem to be waiting on something.

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Thaddeus and Flammikins head out of the Yawning Portal Inn.

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,159
Freeze frame, silhouetted against a bright day.

17
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:12,400
A tall Thaddeus, a tiny Flammikins leaving the Yawning Portal Inn.

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,960
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. We're at D&D 5th Edition Actual Play Podcast,

19
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:22,799
and I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More, and with me today is Amy More.

20
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,879
Me again. I play the Amastasia.

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Tom Laird. I'm here too. I play Flintfire Beard.

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,359
Carla Johnson. I am also here again, and I play Nulara Moonbrook.

23
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:42,560
Welcome to the game, everybody. Thank you.

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,840
Thanks for trying this, Russ. I just thought I'd give it a whirl.

25
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,479
Want to play a little game? Yeah, it did. It was a little...

26
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:50,560
It was kind of creepy, so I guess well done.

27
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,480
Play a game. Yeah, no.

28
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,480
Want to play a game, bitch? It's not toilet paper.

29
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,920
It's duct tape. That's good.

30
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,799
Yeah, don't worry. We won't do that again. That's fine.

31
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:04,719
How's everybody doing? Good.

32
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:06,240
Good. They're doing pretty good.

33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,080
Pretty good. Tom's eating cookies.

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,960
Yeah. Tom baked these cookies. Oh my god, they're so good.

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,800
This is mean. This is mean to everyone.

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,439
No one's getting anything out of this except for Tom.

37
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:20,240
Oh, I'm getting so much out of this. Please. Please continue.

38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,760
I'm just going to pump him up a little bit because he made these cookies.

39
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,800
They're oatmeal cookies. They're so chewy and delicious,

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,520
and they must have a little bit of sea salt or something in them

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,159
because they have that... They were so good.

42
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,960
Can you share the recipe, Tom? No. You know what, Tom?

43
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,800
I certainly can. I don't want to make them.

44
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:44,400
January 18th to 21st, we're going to be in Seattle at PodCon 2.

45
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,040
You bring four fucking cookies. Every recipe you make,

46
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,760
you have to make another one to bring to that event.

47
00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:53,199
If you think that I didn't Google can I bring cookies on an airplane,

48
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:57,039
then you are mistaken because I 100% fucking Googled that

49
00:02:57,039 --> 00:02:59,120
because I will totally bring cookies to Seattle.

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,639
Of course he will. He's very nice.

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,479
You can totally bring cookies on a plane.

52
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:03,039
You totally can.

53
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,359
You know how much food I bring to feed Addison when we fly?

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,280
Yeah, just not liquid food. Otherwise, bring as much as you want.

55
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,519
I couldn't bring the fucking vanilla or anything else that I need to bring,

56
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:18,399
but everything else seems fair game, so no, I will bring those.

57
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,719
Once they're mixed in that in that cookie, beautiful cookie form,

58
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:23,920
cocktail form.

59
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,159
Holy shit. Well, I'm excited for bacon.

60
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:29,040
Like, I mean, I was excited for PodCon before.

61
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,879
But OK, guys, OK, listeners, you don't know how long it's been

62
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,240
since I've had Tom's baking.

63
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,400
I don't want time, hey, like a year and a half because

64
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,640
didn't you bring stuff to the in-game play that I would have been?

65
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,920
Oh, yeah, you did.

66
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,240
Yeah. So it was a year and a half year

67
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,879
and a half, like August, September of last year.

68
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:52,240
That's a long time ago.

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,120
Yeah, that's a long time.

70
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,760
It was a long time considering how often he bakes and how much

71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Carly gets to enjoy it.

72
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,719
How much he shows us his baking.

73
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,760
Yeah, but I'm not at all bitter or jealous.

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,480
I'm real.

75
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,200
I think this is my favorite cookie recipe that I've ever baked.

76
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,439
So I think it's like my go to now.

77
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:10,960
It's going to be my one that I always make.

78
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,320
They're very good.

79
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,960
And you can pretend they're healthy because they're oatmeal cookies.

80
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,199
That's right. The fiber in those things.

81
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,120
Exactly. They're so good for you.

82
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,800
There's not even like chocolate chips or anything, but they are baller.

83
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:24,159
Well, that's the thing.

84
00:04:24,159 --> 00:04:29,039
Like it's a plain oatmeal cookie, but like it is the best goddamn cookie.

85
00:04:29,039 --> 00:04:29,839
Yeah, they're so good.

86
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:31,599
Welcome to our podcast.

87
00:04:31,599 --> 00:04:32,319
It's been a podcast.

88
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,079
This is our Tom Bakes podcast.

89
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:39,199
I would totally do a baking podcast.

90
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:39,919
Are you kidding me?

91
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:43,919
It would not be a good medium for it, but I would totally do it.

92
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,360
I mean, is it less of a good medium than a cooking show?

93
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Like you still don't get to eat it.

94
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,080
You get to look at it, I guess.

95
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,160
But the thing about food is not the visual, is it?

96
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,040
You got to describe it.

97
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,879
You got to get those descriptor words out there.

98
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:04,240
I think they would argue that food is like visual smell.

99
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,160
So olfactory and then taste.

100
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:12,400
Now, Tom, can you come up with enough recipes to fuel a like weekly post

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,280
or a fortnightly post on Patreon?

102
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,720
I mean, I probably could.

103
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,360
I've got a lot of like go-to fun things that I make every now and then.

104
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,880
Even if he just started doing like the things that we've talked about in the podcast.

105
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,680
And it's true.

106
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,560
Because like the cheesecakes and the cookies and the cookies with the little scones.

107
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,000
There's been so many things that you've I mean, we've talked about a lot.

108
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,000
Okay, I'm unreasonably unhappy right now.

109
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,839
We've talked about cookies for too long.

110
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,240
At the very least, on Patreon, we'll post one Tom recipe by the time this comes out.

111
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,480
Just to say, you know, just to fuel that.

112
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,879
And then maybe we'll post that regular.

113
00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:56,160
And you can join us on Patreon.

114
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,839
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

115
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,319
And you can get all of Tom's recipes or at least that one.

116
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:04,000
Maybe I'll do the gluten free peanut butter cookies.

117
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,560
Just in case there's any gluten sensitive people out there.

118
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,759
I like it.

119
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:09,839
We're appealing to all audiences.

120
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,040
But also when you're a patron, you get an episode dedicated to you.

121
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,960
Like our lucky episode dedication person patron today.

122
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,720
Dedicatee Nate Hacking.

123
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,080
Nate, Nate, you're awesome.

124
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Thanks for being so awesome.

125
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,320
And you're very well dressed right now.

126
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,360
Well done, Nate.

127
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,160
Extremely well dressed.

128
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:30,660
Go.

129
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,000
He's got an awesome weather.

130
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,080
First thing up in the morning and just boom.

131
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:36,240
Hair's looking good.

132
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,800
Beard or no beard is looking great.

133
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,840
That's what I was going to say.

134
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,319
Hair or no hair looks fantastic.

135
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:44,560
I mean, it looks great.

136
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,639
Maybe you got eyebrows that look super great.

137
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:50,480
I hear your eyebrows should be on fleek.

138
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,319
Mine are not.

139
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:53,040
I don't know if they do.

140
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,400
Mine are not on fleek.

141
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,960
I don't know.

142
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,560
Mine are very large.

143
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,840
The kids I was talking to this summer still said it.

144
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:00,240
Oh, okay.

145
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,319
Eyebrows are still a very big deal.

146
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:04,160
Oh, eyebrows are definitely still a big deal.

147
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,000
I didn't know if on fleek was still a thing people were saying or ever said.

148
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,639
I feel like that was all just a giant trick to make old people say it and sound dumb,

149
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:13,279
to be honest.

150
00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:13,519
Just a big internet meme.

151
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:14,879
A big Mandela thing.

152
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:15,600
What are you saying?

153
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:21,519
Well, I mean, I said it too and I didn't feel comfortable saying it.

154
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:22,879
It felt wrong every time.

155
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:23,439
It did feel wrong.

156
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:24,000
It does.

157
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Saying on fleek feels wrong every time.

158
00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:29,120
Damn you, young people.

159
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,079
Exactly.

160
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:30,879
Making up words.

161
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:32,639
Get off my lawn with your words.

162
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:37,920
Just imagine a kid running down the street with a sign and a stake and just

163
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,720
staking fleek onto someone's leg.

164
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,680
Your words and your fortnight dances.

165
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,319
How dare you?

166
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:45,600
Oh my god, Addy.

167
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,960
Addy, we're walking down the street.

168
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:47,520
She goes, mom.

169
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:48,800
Mom.

170
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,160
What?

171
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,439
She's like, I have to teach you how to floss.

172
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:56,240
I'm like, right now?

173
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,439
She's like, yeah, right now.

174
00:07:57,439 --> 00:07:59,200
And she totally breaks down.

175
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,480
She's like this and she swings her arms to one side and then she's like,

176
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,360
and then like this and one side's behind her and then she's like,

177
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,680
and then like this and then like this.

178
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,040
She's like, do you got it?

179
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,920
I was like, yeah.

180
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,120
And then she's like, now like this.

181
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,120
My best friend's kids are eight and six and I swear they just are doing it

182
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,319
constantly.

183
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:21,439
Like all the time and it is great.

184
00:08:21,439 --> 00:08:22,400
They're adorable.

185
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,600
They look so crazy.

186
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,520
I see her doing it sometimes too.

187
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000
Like, oh, I guess if I had kids, I'd be more hip.

188
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,480
I'd like, no, because it's the only way I know about those things.

189
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:34,480
I don't have the coordination.

190
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,200
That kick thing, like where you jump up on one leg and you kick the other leg out

191
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,920
and you kick your, you pump your arm at the same time?

192
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,600
I don't know that one, but yeah.

193
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,560
No, you failed at that one.

194
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,399
We were looking at a house and we were walking to it.

195
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:47,519
She goes, mom, can you do this?

196
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:48,560
And then I did it perfectly.

197
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:51,279
And she was like, well, good job.

198
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,960
Dad, can you do it?

199
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:55,460
No.

200
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,759
But she tried to do it too fast and literally like fell on her ass.

201
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,159
She got up looking pretty embarrassed.

202
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:06,159
I was like, what just happened?

203
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:09,600
Did the ground just drop from out from under you?

204
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,080
Totally.

205
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:10,720
Hey, wait a minute.

206
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,920
Do we play D&D on this podcast?

207
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,639
I don't even know.

208
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:13,440
I think we talked about D&D.

209
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:14,879
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

210
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:15,759
Wait, we've already said that.

211
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,240
We're a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast.

212
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:18,800
Complete recap.

213
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,279
Fuck it.

214
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:20,159
Let's play D&D.

215
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:21,120
There we go.

216
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:21,620
Yay.

217
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:25,360
All right, so all your friends left you last episode.

218
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,039
I mean, that's a way to phrase it.

219
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:27,920
It's a bit harsh.

220
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320
Our friends got great opportunities to go and

221
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,400
fight the battle in a different way, and we totally supported that.

222
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,760
We are happy and supportive of their career advancement.

223
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:43,360
Absolutely.

224
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,600
So where do we find Flint, Thea, Nularaaaa, and Donnie at this current moment?

225
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,280
Should we go and check in?

226
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,200
I'm thinking we should maybe go check in.

227
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,600
Like back to the inn?

228
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,880
Yeah, like to the hotel.

229
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,720
Perfect.

230
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,760
What about the motel?

231
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:06,480
Oh, no, like maybe we should check in with Leosin.

232
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,279
Yeah, because Protanther like dropped us off, right?

233
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:12,720
And then we just like went to the hotel, went to a party.

234
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,039
You went and checked in with Leosin and then partied.

235
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:17,600
Yeah, Leosin didn't want to party and we said we'd be back

236
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,799
because there's a lot going on.

237
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:19,759
Maybe we should go back.

238
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,960
Yeah, I guess.

239
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,480
I mean, honestly, we need some direction about what we need to do.

240
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:29,360
Well, we need to go to the Wizards of the Fay.

241
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,000
Yeah, and we need to figure out how we're going to do that.

242
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,680
Yeah, they need to like.

243
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,399
They need to get us there somehow, right?

244
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:37,120
Because it's very far.

245
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,639
I dream of genius there.

246
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:39,200
Exactly.

247
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,360
Are there trains in this world?

248
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,519
If only there was a train we could just catch.

249
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:44,560
That'd be so great.

250
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,879
Like some sort of murder hobos.

251
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:54,560
I thought it was a typo.

252
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,560
I was like, that can't be what he means.

253
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,399
That's exactly what I meant.

254
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:02,720
I get my little red and white polka dot.

255
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:04,159
Bindle.

256
00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:04,639
Chief.

257
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:05,360
Your bindle.

258
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,440
Yep, and I'm going to wrap it around my stick.

259
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,720
Yeah, and carry your little.

260
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:16,159
Find a train to take me to the Fay, the Wizards of the Fay,

261
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,560
and I'll see you guys because you guys are going to transport there

262
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:19,440
in like a blink of an eye.

263
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,639
I'll see you in like six months.

264
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,920
Overland travel, it's a bitch.

265
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:26,960
Yeah, they're kidding.

266
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Who does it anymore anyway?

267
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:30,720
Well, not us.

268
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,519
We're the decimators of dragons, right?

269
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:35,039
I don't walk with my own feet.

270
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:37,440
We go see Leosin.

271
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,000
You make your way back up and into Leosin's chambers,

272
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,039
and he's writing notes currently as you enter the room.

273
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:48,800
One day I expect we're going to walk in

274
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,720
and he's going to be like sleeping on his desk.

275
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,000
Yeah, it seems.

276
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,639
Wake up with like ink dried on his face.

277
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:56,320
And only because he's been working so hard,

278
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,879
not because he's lazy, but just he just fell asleep

279
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:00,000
at his desk.

280
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,879
Seems reasonable.

281
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,000
Sound pen still in hand.

282
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,559
When the door bangs open, he'll be like,

283
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,600
keeps writing.

284
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:10,659
Exactly.

285
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:12,639
Hi, Leosin.

286
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:14,320
Oh, hello.

287
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:14,820
Hello.

288
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:16,799
He finishes writing something.

289
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:21,120
How was your harvest festival?

290
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:23,200
We ended up naked.

291
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:25,600
So good.

292
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,840
I mean, I didn't end up naked,

293
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,960
but I guess everyone else did.

294
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,200
Let's not say you didn't.

295
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,600
We did not do well in that haunted house.

296
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,440
Oh, right, right.

297
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,680
I thought I was thinking after the haunted house.

298
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,280
Oh, yes, we did all end up.

299
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,840
Yep, I stand corrected.

300
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,720
We did all end up naked.

301
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:50,480
How about you?

302
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,800
Did you end up naked?

303
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,920
You didn't go to the party,

304
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,080
but I don't know your life, Leosin.

305
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,840
Just a dumbfounded look on Leosin's face right now.

306
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:10,480
No, I mean, aside from removing my clothes to put more clothes on,

307
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,720
I was not naked for any mentionable period.

308
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,240
All right, so we were all naked.

309
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Okay, I mean, happens to most of us most days.

310
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,640
Long story short, I guess, yep.

311
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:27,360
So we were thinking we should go to the Wizards of Faye.

312
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:32,639
Right, yes, that is something that needs to happen.

313
00:13:34,319 --> 00:13:36,639
Okay, are you ready for that?

314
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:41,120
What do you think we need to be ready for that?

315
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:43,519
I'm ready, let's go.

316
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,600
Okay, yep, to keep your clothes on is probably a good idea.

317
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,759
We all look at Flint.

318
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:54,960
Why are you guys looking at me?

319
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,840
Oh, you know, you know.

320
00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,600
That's fair.

321
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:05,920
Okay, well, what do you know about Faye and the Red Wizards?

322
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,560
Oh, nothing.

323
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:14,000
They're not good guys, from what I heard.

324
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,639
Yeah, I can't say anything really rings a bell.

325
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:20,080
They took the Frogland, the giant frog people.

326
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,559
I beg your pardon?

327
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:26,720
They, was this, maybe, I don't know.

328
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,720
What do you know about the Wizards of Faye?

329
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,039
Maybe you should fill us in on the Wizards of Faye,

330
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:32,879
I guess is what we're saying.

331
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:35,039
We'll circle back to the Frogland,

332
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:37,519
because I don't have that anywhere in my notes.

333
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:42,480
So Faye, why I ask is it's very isolated,

334
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,879
in that it is, you know, 2,500 miles to the east of Waterdeep.

335
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,320
Have any of you traveled beyond Faerun's borders?

336
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:55,920
Yep.

337
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:57,360
No.

338
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:57,860
No.

339
00:14:58,879 --> 00:14:59,840
When did you travel?

340
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:03,680
I'll tell you guys about it later.

341
00:15:04,879 --> 00:15:06,320
Okay, um.

342
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,680
Oh, wait, does traveling in different dimensions count?

343
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:10,879
Sure.

344
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,559
Oh, then yes.

345
00:15:13,439 --> 00:15:14,559
Yes, then yes.

346
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:15,200
Great.

347
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,000
Yeah, absolutely.

348
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,080
But on this plane of reality?

349
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,519
No.

350
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:20,159
No.

351
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:22,080
No, you're like to stick to home base.

352
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,279
I get it, I get it.

353
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,639
So, it's a little unsettling when you go there.

354
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,679
It's dark, constantly,

355
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:36,720
because the whole region is just shrouded in volcanic ash.

356
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,639
Oh, so it's not like a Mr. Burns blocking out the sun situation?

357
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:42,639
Like a giant plate in the sky?

358
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:43,120
No.

359
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,399
I'm asking you that, Ross.

360
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:47,360
No, it's not like that.

361
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,879
No, no, it's not like that.

362
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:50,799
So it's not like that episode in The Simpsons.

363
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:52,639
The Simpsons is like, what?

364
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:56,080
And then Mr. Burns gets shot by a baby?

365
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:56,720
Exactly.

366
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,799
As improbable as that sounds.

367
00:15:58,799 --> 00:15:59,919
It's improbable.

368
00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:01,840
So this land.

369
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,000
Is your land.

370
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,919
This land is my land.

371
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,920
From Bonavista to Vancouver Island.

372
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,000
I wanted the American listeners to know

373
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,760
that we have a different version in Canada.

374
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,560
That's true, we do.

375
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,840
We have our own version.

376
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,320
Add it to Spotify.

377
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Yeah, sorry, Ross.

378
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,800
Doing good with that Spotify list.

379
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,400
Yeah, sorry.

380
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,120
I couldn't help it.

381
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,040
You paused too long between this land.

382
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,280
He's working on how to describe things

383
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,200
to people who just keep interrupting them.

384
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,640
It's hard to relate to that.

385
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,280
Hey, I can't imagine what that would be like.

386
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,320
Super frustrating.

387
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,800
I would imagine so, yeah.

388
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,040
I don't think Russ has been able to say

389
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,640
one complete sentence since he said...

390
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,960
Do you think this is Russ's personal hell

391
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,120
where we're constantly interrupting him

392
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,280
and he's like, this is great, guys.

393
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,560
This is what happens when I don't plan

394
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,799
a whole hell of a lot and I just let you guys

395
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:06,000
kind of do something.

396
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,399
Oh, you're just letting us do this?

397
00:17:12,159 --> 00:17:14,319
Yeah, but that's normal for me.

398
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:17,200
Well, I'm all sugar-coated.

399
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,359
Okay, let's not get back to cookies.

400
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,039
Okay, it's dark and it's always...

401
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:25,680
Oh, oh, you guys, you guys.

402
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,879
Russ has his ears folded in his lap.

403
00:17:28,879 --> 00:17:29,919
That's universal.

404
00:17:29,919 --> 00:17:30,799
I'm a bad guy.

405
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,519
That is...

406
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:34,559
Well, that's the...

407
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:36,639
I'm just gonna wait till everyone's quiet.

408
00:17:36,639 --> 00:17:40,000
That's Russ actually expressing emotions

409
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,839
the only way he knows how.

410
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,279
By not doing anything but just not reacting.

411
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:48,559
There's a series of hand gestures,

412
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:49,599
very subtle hand gestures.

413
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:51,759
It's shrouded in ash from volcanoes.

414
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,319
Who here likes undead?

415
00:17:55,519 --> 00:17:56,960
Not me.

416
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:57,759
I'm all right with it.

417
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,399
They'll still fall under my axe.

418
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,840
No, I'm gonna say no.

419
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Okay, well, prepare yourselves.

420
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,360
This is a lot of undead.

421
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:08,880
They...

422
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Are the wizards of Thay undead themselves?

423
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:15,280
Or are they necromancers?

424
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:16,960
Yeah.

425
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,320
Okay, yep.

426
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,680
Okay, so there's a large prevalence of undead

427
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,560
within the borders.

428
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,720
And the wizards of Thay,

429
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,279
generally speaking,

430
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,640
anyone and everyone of consequence

431
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:36,559
is a spellcasting necromancer.

432
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:37,059
Okay.

433
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:43,360
And how open are they

434
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,880
to the non-undead?

435
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,160
Oh, they're fine.

436
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,960
Okay.

437
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,039
I mean, you are being brought there

438
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,319
under negotiation circumstances.

439
00:18:58,319 --> 00:19:00,079
Oh, I'm pretty sure we excel

440
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:01,519
at negotiating with people.

441
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:03,599
We are very good diplomats.

442
00:19:04,159 --> 00:19:06,000
This is why we keep putting you

443
00:19:06,639 --> 00:19:08,480
our best foot forward

444
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,359
towards these types of negotiations.

445
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,240
You can't see it.

446
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,440
A lot of questions out there.

447
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,279
Imagine a world

448
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:19,440
where we are the best diplomatic option.

449
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,680
Oh, boy, what this world is.

450
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,960
Might as well fire it into the sun.

451
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,160
Holy shit.

452
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,680
No wonder the cult has amassed

453
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,880
so much power.

454
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,920
Wowsers.

455
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,880
I'm really worried

456
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,560
about their decision-making skills

457
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,160
and why we're following them.

458
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:32,880
I have got questions.

459
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:33,360
Very bad.

460
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,080
The council is actually

461
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:38,320
in favor of you

462
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,920
and your decisions at this point.

463
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:41,440
Quite heavily.

464
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,000
So really, we're the last fucking option.

465
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,519
They have no other option.

466
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:46,160
Yeah.

467
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,680
I'm sort of feeling that

468
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,960
what's the Marx Brothers,

469
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,920
like a no club

470
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,039
I don't want to be a member

471
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:52,640
of any club that would have me.

472
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,640
Like, I don't want to make decisions

473
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,759
for any organization

474
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:57,200
that would let me make decisions.

475
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,160
That's a bad idea.

476
00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:01,440
I get it.

477
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,640
That said, you will be given

478
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,440
and he pulls some papers out of his desk.

479
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,519
I have managed to get these sealed warrants

480
00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:13,279
indicating that you are acting

481
00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:15,360
on behalf of the Lords of Waterdeep

482
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,720
and the Lords Alliance.

483
00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:19,279
So is it like diplomatic immunity?

484
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,200
In a sense, yes.

485
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,160
You have protection from both of their guilds.

486
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,000
So if anything were to happen to you

487
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:26,960
while you were there

488
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,320
and you did not make it back,

489
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:32,960
they would act on your behalf

490
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,160
and come to find out what happened justly.

491
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,460
What?

492
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,960
I'm sorry.

493
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,360
I thought you were about to say something like,

494
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,120
and if anything goes down

495
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:44,800
and you feel like you're in danger

496
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,720
and can't handle the situation,

497
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,240
all you have to do is like

498
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,759
rip this piece of paper in half

499
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:52,319
and boom, you're going to be back in Waterdeep.

500
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:53,440
But no.

501
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,519
It's the, in the event that you're murdered,

502
00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:57,599
we'll come and investigate thusly.

503
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,839
What the shit is that?

504
00:20:59,839 --> 00:21:01,599
I mean, you have the protection

505
00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:02,400
is what I'm saying.

506
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,200
And the wizards-

507
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,079
That's not protection!

508
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:05,680
The wizards of Thay, they don't,

509
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,880
the red wizards,

510
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,920
they do not want to start things

511
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,200
just to start things.

512
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,200
They want to exist within their realm

513
00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:16,000
and they aren't going to do that.

514
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,799
That said, don't leave where they

515
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:20,720
tell you to stick to

516
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,920
because the amount of undead

517
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,160
and the amount of wizards,

518
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,759
necromantic variety within the region

519
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:33,839
is plentiful.

520
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,519
Hey, I have a question.

521
00:21:35,519 --> 00:21:36,079
Yeah?

522
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:37,039
Why are we going there again?

523
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,799
Seems like a great question.

524
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,039
The wizards of Thay

525
00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:43,920
that we have found to be

526
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,680
helping the Cult of the Dragon.

527
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:49,200
We have been approached and told

528
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,200
that they are exiles

529
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:53,680
of the true wizards of Thay.

530
00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:55,920
And the true wizards of Thay are

531
00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:01,200
run by a lich, Zaz Tam.

532
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,359
You may or may not have heard of him.

533
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,599
You may roll a d20 if you so desire.

534
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:07,279
Oh, Zaz, he beats herself.

535
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:10,079
Uh, is there any bonus?

536
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:10,960
Wanna say history?

537
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,480
History or arcana.

538
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:15,359
Well, I'm gonna go for

539
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,920
either one because they're both plus seven.

540
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,559
Twenty-five.

541
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:19,759
Damn.

542
00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:20,259
Damn.

543
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,119
He means roll a hat tonight.

544
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,480
Those scrolls in that.

545
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:26,960
Library.

546
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,759
Thea, you know that Zaz Tam

547
00:22:29,759 --> 00:22:31,039
was a very powerful lich

548
00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:34,319
and like was part of a big group.

549
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:35,279
There's a whole bunch of history

550
00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:36,799
that you don't need to get into.

551
00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:41,759
But he is in charge of

552
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:45,519
or it at this point is in charge

553
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:48,799
of the red wizards of Thay.

554
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,639
Anyways, it's a lich.

555
00:22:50,639 --> 00:22:51,279
It's very bad.

556
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:52,480
Okay.

557
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,160
Or very good if they're on your side.

558
00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:56,960
And so we're trying to get them,

559
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,960
we're trying to get Zaz Tam

560
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,920
to like hook up with the good guys.

561
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,400
Say that.

562
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,759
These guys aren't,

563
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:05,599
these guys aren't doing,

564
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:06,639
aren't helping.

565
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:09,119
No, no.

566
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,279
So far those guys are like the outcasts.

567
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:12,319
The true.

568
00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:14,240
The ones that are helping

569
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,440
the cult of the dragon.

570
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,640
They are run by a gentleman named Rath Modar.

571
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,039
You may have heard of him many moons ago.

572
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:25,440
I won't.

573
00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:26,799
You have heard of him.

574
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:27,039
Right.

575
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:28,480
The wrath of Rath Modar.

576
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:28,980
Right.

577
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:30,720
Yes, it's in all the textbooks.

578
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,220
Yeah.

579
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,359
You've come across him.

580
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,120
Anyway, long story short.

581
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:36,720
They are run by Rath Modar

582
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,920
who was exiled by the red wizards of Thay.

583
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,319
For, I mean, if,

584
00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:43,599
if you can think of

585
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,560
the red wizards to be super evil

586
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:52,640
and, I mean, lawful in their own right,

587
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,280
but evil.

588
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,440
To, to know how bad they could turn it

589
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,200
to be exiled by them

590
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,560
is probably not a good thing.

591
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,080
So they've gone off doing their own things

592
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,720
and Zaz Tam and the red wizards of Thay

593
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,600
in Thay want them dead.

594
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:16,800
And they see that we have like means

595
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,920
and like goals and motivations

596
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,520
in stopping the cult of the dragon.

597
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,840
He feels that if these red wizards

598
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,240
were to help bring Tiamat

599
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:30,240
to the material plane

600
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,000
that they would gain more power

601
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,160
than he is able to obtain.

602
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,680
And he wants to stop that.

603
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,880
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

604
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,800
So you will be brought to Thay

605
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,120
by one of their wizards, Nye Ilmitch,

606
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:53,519
who we have interrogated thoroughly.

607
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,160
She will bring you there

608
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,200
and you will be speaking

609
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,960
with their head Tharchin,

610
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,800
their leader of the region.

611
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,519
Esseldra, yeah.

612
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,759
One thing to note as I bring that up,

613
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,720
any time you address someone,

614
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,039
it is best to address them

615
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:13,279
with both their title and their name.

616
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,119
Just a little common courtesy amongst...

617
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,680
This is going to go great, guys.

618
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,480
It is because I remember names really well

619
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,279
and I pronounce them impeccably.

620
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:28,640
And she is the Tharchin

621
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,839
of the Lapindrar region within Thay.

622
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,119
You don't need to necessarily mention the region

623
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:37,520
but Tharchin, Esseldra, yeah.

624
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,240
What you probably want to call her.

625
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:41,360
Yes.

626
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:42,880
All right.

627
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,840
Well, when do we leave?

628
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,840
We were hoping that the council

629
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,840
will be back from the nether mountains

630
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,320
before you left for Thay,

631
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,000
but they are not.

632
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,120
So Lady Leryl Silverhand is here.

633
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,200
Nobody else is.

634
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,600
But you can leave at any point.

635
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,920
Well, we were told that this was urgent

636
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,759
and then we fucked off

637
00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:07,279
and did something that was actually a trap.

638
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,840
I beg your pardon?

639
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,920
What?

640
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,960
Yeah, what?

641
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,560
Oh, my God.

642
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,279
Did we...

643
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:17,039
God, Leosin, did we not tell you?

644
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,880
No, you came back and said,

645
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,920
hey, you want to party?

646
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,279
And then we left.

647
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:23,200
Oh, well, you know, priorities.

648
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,400
But let's say we had a bad time

649
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,080
and it was for nothing.

650
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,279
Xanthos Tower handed our asses to us.

651
00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:34,319
Return.

652
00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:36,480
I got a wood mask.

653
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,680
And the mask was a fake.

654
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,440
So there's a double whammy of bad news for you.

655
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,160
Sorry.

656
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,279
Real shit sandwich.

657
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:44,639
Yeah, with...

658
00:26:46,879 --> 00:26:47,440
Wow.

659
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,000
Oh, and how do you know it's fake?

660
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,839
Protanther said that it was bogus.

661
00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:56,399
Yeah, we tried to return it to Protanther

662
00:26:56,399 --> 00:26:59,599
as per our promises to the Dragon Council.

663
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,400
And he gave us the bad news that...

664
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,760
He laughed at us.

665
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,200
Yeah.

666
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,600
He was pretty unkind, actually.

667
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,920
I mean, that seems consistent with his character.

668
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,800
That is unfortunate.

669
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,560
Any reason why they might have given you...

670
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:21,600
Obviously not.

671
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,600
Oh, I assume just to fuck with us.

672
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,240
I was thinking murder was maybe on the agenda for them.

673
00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:28,880
Because that...

674
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,680
I mean, it was a pretty good trap.

675
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,120
But you made it through the maze.

676
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,039
Well, eventually.

677
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:35,920
Sure.

678
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,839
But Iskander died.

679
00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:40,400
So I guess we don't know if Iskander knew it was fake.

680
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,599
I assume he must have thought it was real, right?

681
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:45,519
I mean, he died for it.

682
00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:46,079
That's true.

683
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:49,440
All right.

684
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,640
Well, that's a real blow.

685
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,160
I'm going to have to write some notes about that.

686
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:59,120
Is there anything we might need before we go to Thay that you can...

687
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,759
Anything specific?

688
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,519
Killing potions!

689
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,040
Oh, yeah.

690
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,040
I mean, we're going to have to pick up some of those.

691
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,320
It's probably a really good idea.

692
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,000
We don't have Thaddeus anymore.

693
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,519
So we're going to stop by and pick up some things.

694
00:28:13,519 --> 00:28:17,120
But anything Thay specific?

695
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,759
I mean, your wits about you...

696
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,200
It's debatable.

697
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:25,680
Touché?

698
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,519
We'll do our best.

699
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:34,560
Otherwise, I assume it will be a quick trip.

700
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:44,960
You are there to speak with Tharchin Asseldra Yeth and try to find a common ground between us.

701
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,519
I don't think it should take 12 weeks of episodes.

702
00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:56,799
So while this is happening, I have my belt and the scabbard with the dagger.

703
00:28:56,799 --> 00:29:03,599
So I don't want to say anything, because if I say anything, then Mr. Dagger Man, he's on to me.

704
00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:09,200
But I'm going to be standing awkwardly, really hands on my hips with my...

705
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,240
Just really with a hip cocked towards the ocean.

706
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,480
Like saddling, sidling up to him.

707
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:24,160
Kind of, and just like really kind of standing in an awkward way with a hip kind of...

708
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,599
Just to see if...

709
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:31,440
You're going to do that thing where newly engaged women just like awkwardly have their hand out as like,

710
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,319
huh?

711
00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:36,000
I don't want to say you need to look at this, but you need to look at this.

712
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,240
Yes.

713
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,960
So something like that to see if he might ask.

714
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,360
And then I probably still don't really want to say anything, but maybe my friends will.

715
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,920
I know I can't do anything.

716
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,000
How fucking awkward new law is being.

717
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,920
Like, let me do some kind of roll.

718
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,600
Yeah, let's do a roll here.

719
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,600
Looking over like...

720
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,880
Do a pose roll for me.

721
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,920
A high roll, you do what you want to.

722
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,280
Oh, just a straight roll.

723
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,000
No, hold on.

724
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:02,960
Let's see if there's something that'll fit here.

725
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,720
I was trying to see if there was like a thing.

726
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,960
I mean, like performance.

727
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,960
Persuasion or performance.

728
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,760
I mean, I have no good pluses with either of those,

729
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,280
but I don't know that anything else really makes sense.

730
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Probably not.

731
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
So let's say performance.

732
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Maybe he thinks you're intimidating him?

733
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
I don't have good intimidate.

734
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,200
Those are all just plus ones.

735
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:30,560
So I mean, anything I think that could apply is like a plus one anyway.

736
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,680
It's not great, but just to see, because I know I can't say anything

737
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,680
because he definitely, he the dagger, definitely knows what's up.

738
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,680
Oh my God.

739
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,680
Well, I rolled a two, so.

740
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,680
I guess that's a three.

741
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,680
So yeah, low is good, right?

742
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,680
Oh my God.

743
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,680
No, I was going to say a high roll.

744
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,680
People see what you're doing.

745
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,680
Low roll, they think you're just weird.

746
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,680
People just think I'm just standing off.

747
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,680
Like I have to pee or something.

748
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,680
So yeah, I mean, he sees you kind of just

749
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,680
articulating towards him or whatever you're doing.

750
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:12,680
And he seems to be trying to catch eyes with somebody else.

751
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,680
It's fair.

752
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,680
Can I notice?

753
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,680
Can I?

754
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,680
No.

755
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,680
My roll was so shitty.

756
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,680
Everyone sees me, but they're not cluing in that that's what I'm doing.

757
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,680
They just think I'm being a total weirdo.

758
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,680
Yeah, just like, what is her problem?

759
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:36,680
Can I look at Leosin and see his confusion and uncomfortableness?

760
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,680
There must be a lull in the conversation.

761
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,680
Ariel just standing around, not talking.

762
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,680
No, I don't assume you guys are still talking, but New Laura's like.

763
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,680
Exactly.

764
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,680
Like honestly, it probably just looks like I have to pee.

765
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,680
Yes, like it's just I'm just like squirming around.

766
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,680
Trying to like helicopter this weight around.

767
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,680
She's like sitting on the edge of the desk, just like, yeah.

768
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,680
Turns her chair around backwards, puts her hat on backwards.

769
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:11,680
Long story short, nobody's noticing because roll was so bad.

770
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,680
Yeah, it was so bad.

771
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,680
All right.

772
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,680
Well, Leosin, is there anywhere that we need to go?

773
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,680
Like, obviously we're going to stop and get healing potions.

774
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,680
How many?

775
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,680
All of them.

776
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,680
You haven't been there yet.

777
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,680
All of them?

778
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,680
You haven't been there yet.

779
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,680
Forty of them.

780
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,680
All right.

781
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:26,680
We're going to go and get healing potions.

782
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,680
But then after that, where should we head?

783
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,680
Who should we talk to to kind of like.

784
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Well, I will.

785
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:37,680
You go get what you feel you need for materials and supplies.

786
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:44,680
I will go tell Lady Laryl Silverhand and Nye Ilmich that you are ready to go.

787
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:50,680
They have been waiting for your return or at least Nye has.

788
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:57,680
And she will prepare the teleportation ritual and you shall be ready to go.

789
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:03,680
There is a teleportation circle chamber just up the way.

790
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,680
Follow the signs.

791
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,680
You know where it is.

792
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,680
I get it.

793
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:12,680
You've been here enough that you've kind of been through a lot of the areas.

794
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,680
All right.

795
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:14,680
Well, Leosin, thank you.

796
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,680
Thanks, Leosin.

797
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,680
Be well and we'll see you soon.

798
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,680
Hopefully we come back from this trip with better news than Zanthal's Tower.

799
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:32,680
As do I, because I feel that the final battle is knocking at our door.

800
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:42,680
And after we find out if they will help us or not, arrangements will need to be made for a full scale assault.

801
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,680
Fucking go time, people.

802
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,680
Come and knock on our door.

803
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,680
We've been waiting for war.

804
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:53,680
Where the murder is.

805
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,680
You and you and you.

806
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,680
And here I am at two.

807
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,680
That's a good wrap.

808
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:02,680
I was thinking about it.

809
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,680
Yes, I'm here.

810
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,680
I guess I may have dragon's doubt.

811
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:08,680
Where do you go?

812
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:09,680
What do you do?

813
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:15,680
I want to go to the potion slash armory.

814
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,680
Yeah, so we definitely need some more healing potions, especially with no Thaddeus.

815
00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:22,679
Also, we've used them all.

816
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:23,679
At least I have.

817
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:27,679
Also, we totally need to remember about our healing surges.

818
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:28,679
Yes.

819
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:40,679
And we need to remember that Thea has heal as a spell, which is you regain 70 hit points for one creature.

820
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:42,679
We just need to remember everything, guys.

821
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:43,679
We need to be better at remembering.

822
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:47,679
Yeah, as a general rule, just remember better.

823
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:51,679
So maybe I'm not going to be dealing a lot of damage.

824
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:54,679
I can heal at least three times.

825
00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:56,679
And you have that fucking firestorm now.

826
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:58,679
Yeah, that firestorm is going to be dope.

827
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:02,679
Okay, so let's go, yeah, I guess to like the armory.

828
00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:04,679
The Suppliery.

829
00:35:04,679 --> 00:35:05,679
Suppliery.

830
00:35:05,679 --> 00:35:07,679
The stuff is for Essary.

831
00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:09,679
Can we stop by the Haberdasher too?

832
00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:10,679
Yeah.

833
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:12,679
You want a new hat to go with that?

834
00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:16,679
Maybe Bort likes a different look.

835
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:19,679
So you go to the armory slash potions place.

836
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:22,679
It's called...

837
00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:24,679
Armory slash potions place.

838
00:35:24,679 --> 00:35:27,679
It's called Armory and Potions Plus.

839
00:35:27,679 --> 00:35:29,679
Oh, so we're going retail.

840
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:34,679
Well, I mean, it's within the Council of Waterdeep buildings.

841
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:36,679
You probably got a tab somewhere.

842
00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:37,679
Perfect.

843
00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:41,679
And you head in there, and I don't know if you guys have actually been there or...

844
00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:42,679
You've probably never been there.

845
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:43,679
It's fine.

846
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:44,679
You've never been there.

847
00:35:44,679 --> 00:35:52,679
And you go in and there's a very pale figure standing in a very white...

848
00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:56,679
Looks like a lab coat, but has a very high collar.

849
00:35:56,679 --> 00:35:57,679
Is he a pharmacist?

850
00:35:57,679 --> 00:36:00,679
Very slicked down, blacked hair.

851
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:03,679
And he sees you enter and he says, hello.

852
00:36:03,679 --> 00:36:05,679
Hello.

853
00:36:05,679 --> 00:36:06,679
Yes.

854
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:10,679
Nularaaaa, Thea, and Flint.

855
00:36:10,679 --> 00:36:14,679
Oh, you have us at a disadvantage.

856
00:36:14,679 --> 00:36:15,679
Who are you, sir?

857
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:16,679
Arvid.

858
00:36:16,679 --> 00:36:18,679
Arvid of Innistrad.

859
00:36:18,679 --> 00:36:20,679
Oh, hey there, Arvid.

860
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:21,679
Hello, Arvid.

861
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:22,679
Yes.

862
00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:25,679
You have come here for supplies?

863
00:36:25,679 --> 00:36:27,679
Supplies, yes.

864
00:36:27,679 --> 00:36:28,679
Yes.

865
00:36:28,679 --> 00:36:30,679
Healing.

866
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:37,679
We need your best, most strongest healing potions.

867
00:36:37,679 --> 00:36:39,679
The best, most strongest.

868
00:36:39,679 --> 00:36:41,679
We've had a rare healing potion before.

869
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:43,679
That was pretty good.

870
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:47,679
I believe there was even an uncommon healing potion.

871
00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:48,679
That was even better.

872
00:36:48,679 --> 00:36:49,679
I don't think it was.

873
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:50,679
Probably not.

874
00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:51,679
I think the rare one was better.

875
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:57,679
Sorry, Tom, as an aside, I still have three uncommon healing potions and my zero rare.

876
00:36:57,679 --> 00:36:58,679
Yeah, that's fine.

877
00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:02,679
So I used the rare ones and I was trying to save my friend after I'd stabbed him.

878
00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:04,679
So now I feel like I pulled out the good ones.

879
00:37:04,679 --> 00:37:12,679
A lot of backstory here, but good that I know what you are here for.

880
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:14,679
So you need some potions.

881
00:37:14,679 --> 00:37:15,679
Yes, please.

882
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:16,679
How many would you like?

883
00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:20,679
How many can we get?

884
00:37:20,679 --> 00:37:22,679
Where are you going?

885
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:24,679
Fae?

886
00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:28,679
It's very dangerous.

887
00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:31,679
Yes, yes, I've been.

888
00:37:31,679 --> 00:37:32,679
Oh.

889
00:37:32,679 --> 00:37:33,679
Let me see.

890
00:37:33,679 --> 00:37:36,679
He begins flipping through a big book, a big ledger.

891
00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:41,679
I can probably give you each.

892
00:37:41,679 --> 00:37:44,679
He looks at you very cautiously.

893
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:46,679
Three.

894
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:48,679
Four.

895
00:37:48,679 --> 00:37:50,679
Five.

896
00:37:50,679 --> 00:37:53,679
I was going to say knowing five.

897
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:57,679
I'm not sure how barbering works.

898
00:37:57,679 --> 00:37:59,679
Nine.

899
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:11,679
I can give you each three of the rare potions you desire and some others if you have room for them.

900
00:38:11,679 --> 00:38:19,679
Every time I hit the plus button, it seems like I have unlimited amount of room for equipment.

901
00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:21,679
Do you have anything else you've been to Fae?

902
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:22,679
This is rare.

903
00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:31,679
Do you have any other insight into things that may help us while we are there?

904
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:35,679
Are you going to see the sights?

905
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:36,679
No.

906
00:38:36,679 --> 00:38:39,679
No, business meeting, business travel.

907
00:38:39,679 --> 00:38:41,679
Business not personal.

908
00:38:41,679 --> 00:38:48,679
Well, if you're sticking to the head governor buildings, you shouldn't need much.

909
00:38:48,679 --> 00:38:56,679
And being that you are hopefully being brought there, there shouldn't be much along your way that you need.

910
00:38:56,679 --> 00:38:57,679
Sorry.

911
00:38:57,679 --> 00:39:01,679
What kind of healing potions are these again?

912
00:39:01,679 --> 00:39:02,679
Rare.

913
00:39:02,679 --> 00:39:03,679
Rare healing potions.

914
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:04,679
They're rare.

915
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:05,679
They're super rare.

916
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:06,679
Super rare.

917
00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:08,679
But they still only have the same stats.

918
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:10,679
Three yellow potions.

919
00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:15,679
The yellow ones are special for you, my dear.

920
00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:17,679
No, thank you.

921
00:39:17,679 --> 00:39:20,679
What's the rare healing potion again?

922
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:24,679
It's 84 plus 8.

923
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:25,679
All right.

924
00:39:25,679 --> 00:39:28,679
Well, thank you.

925
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:31,679
You're welcome.

926
00:39:31,679 --> 00:39:34,679
Put it on our tab.

927
00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:35,679
Of course.

928
00:39:35,679 --> 00:39:37,679
No payment today.

929
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:38,679
Good.

930
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:40,679
I shall see about that.

931
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:42,679
He hands you the potions.

932
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:44,679
Anything else?

933
00:39:44,679 --> 00:39:47,679
Do you have any pinky mice?

934
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:49,679
By pinky mice I mean large rats.

935
00:39:49,679 --> 00:39:51,679
Do you have any rats?

936
00:39:51,679 --> 00:39:52,679
Dead rats.

937
00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:55,679
Dead rats.

938
00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:57,679
For a potion or spell?

939
00:39:57,679 --> 00:40:00,679
No, food.

940
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:05,679
I have a giant owl and I have to give her some treats every now and again.

941
00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:07,679
Where is your owl?

942
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:08,679
I see a dragon.

943
00:40:08,679 --> 00:40:13,679
I rummage in my pocket and I pull out my serpentine.

944
00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:16,679
My jade figurine there.

945
00:40:16,679 --> 00:40:19,679
You know they require no sustenance.

946
00:40:19,679 --> 00:40:21,679
It does mean she doesn't like it.

947
00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:22,679
Okay.

948
00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:24,679
Let me see.

949
00:40:24,679 --> 00:40:25,679
He goes in the back.

950
00:40:25,679 --> 00:40:26,679
He comes out.

951
00:40:26,679 --> 00:40:28,679
How many would you like?

952
00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:30,679
I knew it.

953
00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:31,679
Ten.

954
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:32,679
Five, please.

955
00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:33,679
I have four.

956
00:40:33,679 --> 00:40:36,679
I'll take four.

957
00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:38,679
Why would you mask?

958
00:40:38,679 --> 00:40:41,679
Well, if he said one, he could have just met your needs.

959
00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:45,679
He comes out with a brown paper bag.

960
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:47,679
There's no plastic here.

961
00:40:47,679 --> 00:40:49,679
He has some tongs.

962
00:40:49,679 --> 00:40:51,679
He's just holding an O to you.

963
00:40:51,679 --> 00:40:54,679
I literally just caught these in the back like just right now.

964
00:40:54,679 --> 00:40:55,679
Super fresh.

965
00:40:55,679 --> 00:40:57,679
He hands them to you.

966
00:40:57,679 --> 00:40:58,679
Thanks.

967
00:40:58,679 --> 00:40:59,679
I put them in my bag.

968
00:40:59,679 --> 00:41:01,679
Nobody wants to be around me.

969
00:41:01,679 --> 00:41:04,679
Any other small rodents that he looks towards Donnie?

970
00:41:04,679 --> 00:41:06,679
No, I don't think so.

971
00:41:06,679 --> 00:41:08,679
Donnie, he's cool.

972
00:41:08,679 --> 00:41:09,679
Yeah, no rats.

973
00:41:09,679 --> 00:41:11,679
He takes care of himself.

974
00:41:11,679 --> 00:41:12,679
Yeah.

975
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:13,679
All right.

976
00:41:13,679 --> 00:41:15,679
Well, any other strange requests?

977
00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:16,679
No, man.

978
00:41:16,679 --> 00:41:17,679
I'm good.

979
00:41:17,679 --> 00:41:18,679
Thanks so much.

980
00:41:18,679 --> 00:41:19,679
You quiet, sir.

981
00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:20,679
Anything for you?

982
00:41:20,679 --> 00:41:22,679
No, no, I don't think so.

983
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:26,679
Nothing comes to mind anyway.

984
00:41:26,679 --> 00:41:28,679
All right.

985
00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:31,679
Stay cool.

986
00:41:31,679 --> 00:41:33,679
Donnie boy?

987
00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:34,679
You too?

988
00:41:34,679 --> 00:41:37,679
You stay cool too.

989
00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:40,679
It's a bit nice to meet you.

990
00:41:40,679 --> 00:41:43,679
I feel like we will become good friends.

991
00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:46,679
I mean, there's every possibility we'll die and fade.

992
00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:50,679
But if that doesn't happen, maybe we'll hang out when we get back.

993
00:41:50,679 --> 00:41:51,679
We're inching toward the door.

994
00:41:51,679 --> 00:41:52,679
Oh, yeah.

995
00:41:52,679 --> 00:41:55,679
We're backing toward it.

996
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:57,679
He's very unsettling.

997
00:41:57,679 --> 00:42:00,679
I feel he's just staring at us as we're walking backwards.

998
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:01,679
Do you see him with a smile on his face?

999
00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:02,679
No.

1000
00:42:02,679 --> 00:42:04,679
Oh, that's even more unsettling.

1001
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:05,679
Okay, bye.

1002
00:42:05,679 --> 00:42:06,679
Bye.

1003
00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:09,679
Yep, we go.

1004
00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:10,679
Yeesh.

1005
00:42:10,679 --> 00:42:12,679
I assume you head towards the teleportation chamber.

1006
00:42:12,679 --> 00:42:15,679
Yeah, and as we do, we talk about how weird that interaction was.

1007
00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:18,679
Yeah, that guy was unsettling, right?

1008
00:42:18,679 --> 00:42:20,679
Oh, yeah, he's a little different.

1009
00:42:20,679 --> 00:42:24,679
I mean, he went to Faye for fun, right?

1010
00:42:24,679 --> 00:42:26,679
Yeah, like sightseeing?

1011
00:42:26,679 --> 00:42:27,679
I don't think people do that.

1012
00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:28,679
No.

1013
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:30,679
He loves that ashy skyline, I guess.

1014
00:42:30,679 --> 00:42:31,679
Yes, I don't know.

1015
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:33,679
I approve of it.

1016
00:42:33,679 --> 00:42:38,679
Okay, the heebie-jeebies.

1017
00:42:38,679 --> 00:42:43,679
I only have four.

1018
00:42:43,679 --> 00:42:44,679
How would you want?

1019
00:42:44,679 --> 00:42:52,679
I'll just say one less, whatever you ask.

1020
00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:55,679
I love how jovial we are on the way to the transportation room.

1021
00:42:55,679 --> 00:42:56,679
Exactly.

1022
00:42:56,679 --> 00:42:57,679
Well, you know.

1023
00:42:57,679 --> 00:43:01,679
You've made it, unless you wish to keep making fun of them.

1024
00:43:01,679 --> 00:43:06,679
That's good.

1025
00:43:06,679 --> 00:43:07,679
Well, hello there.

1026
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:08,679
I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.

1027
00:43:08,679 --> 00:43:12,679
Thank you for joining us for episode 63 of Dumbgeons and Dragons.

1028
00:43:12,679 --> 00:43:15,679
On the way to Faye.

1029
00:43:15,679 --> 00:43:17,679
We really hope you're enjoying the episode so far.

1030
00:43:17,679 --> 00:43:21,679
We've had the chance story-wise here to put the role-playing of our characters

1031
00:43:21,679 --> 00:43:23,679
much more front and center.

1032
00:43:23,679 --> 00:43:25,679
And let me tell you, we're having a blast doing it.

1033
00:43:25,679 --> 00:43:27,679
We're recorded a little bit ahead now,

1034
00:43:27,679 --> 00:43:29,679
gearing up for the Christmas and New Year's Blitz

1035
00:43:29,679 --> 00:43:31,679
Everyone wants to focus a little more on family time

1036
00:43:31,679 --> 00:43:34,679
than recording podcast time, which is definitely understandable.

1037
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:37,679
And we think, and hope that you do too,

1038
00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:40,679
that some of our best, most fun episodes are coming your way

1039
00:43:40,679 --> 00:43:42,679
before the New Year arrives.

1040
00:43:42,679 --> 00:43:45,679
We invite you to check out our Patreon community

1041
00:43:45,679 --> 00:43:48,679
over at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

1042
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:50,679
If you're unaware how Patreon works,

1043
00:43:50,679 --> 00:43:54,679
it's a creator patron-driven platform

1044
00:43:54,679 --> 00:43:58,679
where you, as a supporter of a show, artist, or content creator,

1045
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:01,679
can choose to become a part of their inner circle,

1046
00:44:01,679 --> 00:44:03,679
the closest-knit people within their community.

1047
00:44:03,679 --> 00:44:06,679
And by doing so, you get special access to really awesome rewards,

1048
00:44:06,679 --> 00:44:09,679
bonus episodes, live-streamed hangout sessions,

1049
00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:11,679
and other really amazing perks

1050
00:44:11,679 --> 00:44:14,679
that give you something a little extra for supporting the content

1051
00:44:14,679 --> 00:44:16,679
that you already love and listen to.

1052
00:44:16,679 --> 00:44:18,679
Even just a dollar a month from our patrons

1053
00:44:18,679 --> 00:44:20,679
has allowed us to do some amazing things,

1054
00:44:20,679 --> 00:44:23,679
like buy new equipment, expand our music and sound effects library,

1055
00:44:23,679 --> 00:44:26,679
and pay for some of the expenses to fly all four of us

1056
00:44:26,679 --> 00:44:29,679
to get together at PodCon in Seattle this January,

1057
00:44:29,679 --> 00:44:31,679
which we are super stoked about.

1058
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:33,679
Like the episode dedications off the top,

1059
00:44:33,679 --> 00:44:37,679
you have the chance to name an NPC in the game when you're a patron,

1060
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:40,679
like today's new character, Arvid of Innistrad,

1061
00:44:40,679 --> 00:44:43,679
who was named by Richard Lorenz on Patreon.

1062
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:46,679
Thank you, Richard. I hope you like Arvid.

1063
00:44:46,679 --> 00:44:50,679
He'll definitely be back to have some super fun interactions with the team.

1064
00:44:50,679 --> 00:44:52,679
We'd love to have you be a part of this community,

1065
00:44:52,679 --> 00:44:54,679
and if you're interested to check out all the details

1066
00:44:54,679 --> 00:44:57,679
at Patreon.com slash dumbdragoncast.

1067
00:44:57,679 --> 00:44:59,679
And thanks to Sirenscape.

1068
00:44:59,679 --> 00:45:01,679

1069
00:45:01,679 --> 00:45:04,679

1071
00:45:06,679 --> 00:45:09,679
Links for everything mentioned today can be found in the description,

1072
00:45:09,679 --> 00:45:13,679
and the next episode will be out Wednesday, November 28th.

1073
00:45:13,679 --> 00:45:15,679
But now that I've successfully weirded out the players

1074
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:17,679
with our new NPC, Arvid,

1075
00:45:17,679 --> 00:45:21,679
let's see if they can make it to Thay and negotiate with some wizards.

1076
00:45:21,679 --> 00:45:23,679
Have a great week. We'll talk soon.

1077
00:45:29,679 --> 00:45:31,679
Yes, you make it to the teleportation chamber.

1078
00:45:31,679 --> 00:45:33,679
The door is open and you step in,

1079
00:45:33,679 --> 00:45:35,679
and Leosin and Lady Leral Silverhand,

1080
00:45:35,679 --> 00:45:38,679
and an unknown person who you can assume is Nye Ilmich.

1081
00:45:38,679 --> 00:45:39,679
Shh.

1082
00:45:39,679 --> 00:45:43,679
Hey, you're pharmacist guy at the Weapons Plus?

1083
00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:45,679
Yeah, Arvid?

1084
00:45:45,679 --> 00:45:48,679
That guy's, he's pretty weird, hey?

1085
00:45:48,679 --> 00:45:49,679
He just started last week.

1086
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:52,679
He has a very off-putting personality.

1087
00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:54,679
He is unsettling.

1088
00:45:54,679 --> 00:45:56,679
And that's coming from us.

1089
00:45:56,679 --> 00:45:58,679
So...

1090
00:45:58,679 --> 00:46:00,679
I get it. We've been working.

1091
00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:02,679
I mean, we've heard some complaints.

1092
00:46:02,679 --> 00:46:05,679
We've been working with him on some classes.

1093
00:46:05,679 --> 00:46:07,679
I mean, he gave us what we needed.

1094
00:46:07,679 --> 00:46:10,679
He wasn't unpleasant.

1095
00:46:10,679 --> 00:46:12,679
It was just unpleasant.

1096
00:46:12,679 --> 00:46:15,679
You might want to revisit your HR hiring policy, that's all.

1097
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:17,679
During the end of the world,

1098
00:46:17,679 --> 00:46:20,679
we don't have much of an HR policy.

1099
00:46:20,679 --> 00:46:24,679
So much as whoever's gonna do the job.

1100
00:46:24,679 --> 00:46:25,679
That's fair.

1101
00:46:25,679 --> 00:46:27,679
Well, really though, I'd like to say

1102
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:30,679
that the minute we start breaking down

1103
00:46:30,679 --> 00:46:32,679
the way our society is functioning,

1104
00:46:32,679 --> 00:46:35,679
we're already letting them win.

1105
00:46:35,679 --> 00:46:37,679
They've already won.

1106
00:46:37,679 --> 00:46:39,679
Alright, well, I'll talk to them.

1107
00:46:39,679 --> 00:46:41,679
Yeah, but don't say that it was us.

1108
00:46:41,679 --> 00:46:43,679
Oh my god.

1109
00:46:43,679 --> 00:46:45,679
Like, don't go there right now.

1110
00:46:45,679 --> 00:46:47,679
No, oh god, no.

1111
00:46:47,679 --> 00:46:49,679
Do you have some pointers for him?

1112
00:46:49,679 --> 00:46:51,679
Something specifically to work on?

1113
00:46:51,679 --> 00:46:53,679
I don't know, just don't be so creepy.

1114
00:46:53,679 --> 00:46:55,679
Okay.

1115
00:46:55,679 --> 00:46:57,679
I don't know if it's in him.

1116
00:46:57,679 --> 00:46:59,679
I don't know if he can do it.

1117
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:02,679
I turn to the unknown person.

1118
00:47:02,679 --> 00:47:04,679
And say,

1119
00:47:04,679 --> 00:47:06,679
I'm Nulara.

1120
00:47:06,679 --> 00:47:08,679
And hold out my hand.

1121
00:47:08,679 --> 00:47:12,679
She looks at your hand and looks at you.

1122
00:47:12,679 --> 00:47:14,679
All three of you kind of over.

1123
00:47:14,679 --> 00:47:16,679
I say, I'm the Amistacia,

1124
00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:19,679
and I bow respectfully,

1125
00:47:19,679 --> 00:47:22,679
not wanting to touch the hand of a necromancer.

1126
00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:24,679
What's wrong with you, Nulara?

1127
00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:26,679
Well...

1128
00:47:26,679 --> 00:47:30,679
She reaches out and grabs your hand

1129
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:32,679
and shakes it.

1130
00:47:32,679 --> 00:47:34,679
It's a cold hand, you notice.

1131
00:47:34,679 --> 00:47:38,679
And Lady Leral Silverhand says,

1132
00:47:38,679 --> 00:47:42,679
So, unless there's anything else we can help with,

1133
00:47:42,679 --> 00:47:47,679
you have all been briefed as to what you are hoping to do?

1134
00:47:47,679 --> 00:47:49,679
Oh, yeah, mhm.

1135
00:47:49,679 --> 00:47:52,679
You leave me with confidence, Thea.

1136
00:47:52,679 --> 00:47:54,679
So much confidence.

1137
00:47:54,679 --> 00:47:58,679
You know how we roll, we'll get the job done.

1138
00:47:58,679 --> 00:48:00,679
Leosin, Lady Silverhand,

1139
00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:04,679
could we speak to you just very, very briefly?

1140
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:06,679
Of course.

1141
00:48:06,679 --> 00:48:08,679
Privately.

1142
00:48:08,679 --> 00:48:12,679
So, I assume we, like, move away.

1143
00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:14,679
Yeah, you kind of shuffle out of the room.

1144
00:48:14,679 --> 00:48:17,679
Do we, as when we saw the Dragon Council,

1145
00:48:17,679 --> 00:48:22,679
have authority to make a deal with these people?

1146
00:48:22,679 --> 00:48:25,679
I've gone into this assuming we do,

1147
00:48:25,679 --> 00:48:29,679
but best to have clarification before we go.

1148
00:48:29,679 --> 00:48:31,679
Of course.

1149
00:48:31,679 --> 00:48:37,679
You are perhaps some of the best to speak on our behalf.

1150
00:48:37,679 --> 00:48:40,679
I see doubt in your eyes.

1151
00:48:40,679 --> 00:48:42,679
I'm just shaking right now.

1152
00:48:42,679 --> 00:48:46,679
Your allegiances lie to the people,

1153
00:48:46,679 --> 00:48:49,679
whereas the delegates of the council,

1154
00:48:49,679 --> 00:48:54,679
their allegiances lie with their own region.

1155
00:48:54,679 --> 00:48:58,679
And they will do what's best for them and their own.

1156
00:48:58,679 --> 00:49:04,679
You have nothing tying you to anyone.

1157
00:49:05,679 --> 00:49:09,679
Which, as sad as that may sound, is a good thing.

1158
00:49:09,679 --> 00:49:10,679
It does sound sad when you put it that way.

1159
00:49:10,679 --> 00:49:11,679
It does sound real sad.

1160
00:49:11,679 --> 00:49:14,679
Well, we have ties to each other, guys.

1161
00:49:14,679 --> 00:49:15,679
Well, that's true.

1162
00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:18,679
Oh, that's, like, the most affectionate thing

1163
00:49:18,679 --> 00:49:21,679
I think I've ever heard you, Lara, say.

1164
00:49:21,679 --> 00:49:24,679
Holy man.

1165
00:49:24,679 --> 00:49:26,679
But you are the most prepared

1166
00:49:26,679 --> 00:49:31,679
to talk about Faerun as a whole.

1167
00:49:31,679 --> 00:49:35,679
And we need that right now.

1168
00:49:35,679 --> 00:49:39,679
This place is such a hole.

1169
00:49:39,679 --> 00:49:43,679
Don't worry.

1170
00:49:43,679 --> 00:49:45,679
We know what's at stake.

1171
00:49:45,679 --> 00:49:48,679
I hope that your trip will be quick and successful.

1172
00:49:48,679 --> 00:49:51,679
Leosun has filled me in on the unsuccesses,

1173
00:49:51,679 --> 00:49:55,679
not through your own fault, of Byzantos Tower,

1174
00:49:55,679 --> 00:49:58,679
which sets us further back than we were hoping

1175
00:49:58,679 --> 00:50:00,679
with that endeavor.

1176
00:50:00,679 --> 00:50:05,679
I wish you safe travels and hope to see you again soon.

1177
00:50:05,679 --> 00:50:07,679
Well, we'll do the best we can for you.

1178
00:50:07,679 --> 00:50:09,679
It's not much of a promise, but it is true.

1179
00:50:09,679 --> 00:50:12,679
Yeah, it's true. We always do our best.

1180
00:50:12,679 --> 00:50:14,679
We always do our best.

1181
00:50:14,679 --> 00:50:17,679
So you head back into the teleportation chamber,

1182
00:50:17,679 --> 00:50:19,679
and Naya Elmitch is standing there,

1183
00:50:19,679 --> 00:50:23,679
and Leosun and Lady Lara Silverhand

1184
00:50:23,679 --> 00:50:25,679
leave and close the door, and she says,

1185
00:50:25,679 --> 00:50:28,679
Are you ready?

1186
00:50:28,679 --> 00:50:31,679
No, but let's do this anyway.

1187
00:50:31,679 --> 00:50:35,679
Alright.

1188
00:50:35,679 --> 00:50:38,679
And she begins a ritual,

1189
00:50:38,679 --> 00:50:43,679
and begins moving her hands and speaking a chant,

1190
00:50:43,679 --> 00:50:48,679
and the room begins spinning with a glowing energy.

1191
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,680
And after a few moments, it builds up and intensifies,

1192
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:09,680
and you four see nothing for a moment.

1193
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:15,680
You quickly arrive into a luxurious chamber,

1194
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:20,680
and there are five, what you can assume as guards,

1195
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,680
but you know them as wights.

1196
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,680
You see them standing guard within this room,

1197
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,680
and they turn to look at you,

1198
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,680
and Naya looks at you, and she says,

1199
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,680
I will lead you to your chambers,

1200
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:41,680
and Tharchian Iseldra Yef will see you as soon as is possible.

1201
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,680
I will go let her know of your arrival.

1202
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,680
She leads you into a hallway,

1203
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,680
and it's filled with luxurious tapestries,

1204
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:58,680
and you walk down, and she leads you to three rooms.

1205
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,680
She says, These are your chambers.

1206
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,680
Thanks for the escort there, Naya Elmint.

1207
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:06,680
Thank you.

1208
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:11,680
She waits until you enter your rooms.

1209
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,680
I'll be the first one who enters my room.

1210
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,680
I want to see if it's themed.

1211
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,680
Oh, are they themed rooms?

1212
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,680
Are they underwater themed?

1213
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,680
Jungle themed?

1214
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,680
Arabian Nights themed?

1215
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,680
Are we just listing prom themes?

1216
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,680
Yeah.

1217
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,680
Sure.

1218
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,680
What theme do you want?

1219
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:34,680
Oh my god.

1220
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,680
Arabian Nights, now that it's been said.

1221
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,680
Yeah, you enter, and it looks like a lot of...

1222
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,680
It is a very luxurious room.

1223
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,680
It's got a huge bed.

1224
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,680
It's got huge furniture.

1225
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,680
It's got lots of silks and tapestries that look like they're from Chult.

1226
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:57,680
It looks like this room has been designed to look like someone of royalty lives here,

1227
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,680
but has specifically been designed from this region.

1228
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,680
Oh, I crawl onto the giant, like, super overly soft bed

1229
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,680
that no one would really ever comfortably sleep on, but they definitely will.

1230
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:14,680
I like just like, mmm, like, tummy down.

1231
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:15,680
You do that.

1232
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,680
Yeah, roll around on the bed.

1233
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,680
Nulara.

1234
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,680
I go in my room, and I'm hoping it's like, northern themed,

1235
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,680
so like, kind of stark, but with lots of furs everywhere,

1236
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:32,680
and like, you know, sumptuous warmth, a big hearth, you know.

1237
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:38,680
You enter your room, and there is a raging fire within the fireplace.

1238
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,680
It is filling the room with so much heat.

1239
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,680
The walls themselves look like they're made from ice,

1240
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:52,680
and there's huge bearskin rugs, and fur-covered bed, and blankets.

1241
00:53:52,680 --> 00:54:00,680
It looks like it's pulled directly from a luxuriously imagined Frost Giants lair.

1242
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,680
Yes, fun.

1243
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,680
Clink board.

1244
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:09,680
So, as I wait for their doors to close, once I hear them close,

1245
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,680
I turn to Nihilmitch.

1246
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,680
I say, uh, you guys are all necromancers, right?

1247
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,680
That's the deal around here.

1248
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:22,680
Do you have any experience with, like, souls being trapped in bodies,

1249
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,680
and how to fix that?

1250
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,680
You have an issue, don't you?

1251
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,680
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you might, uh, you might say that.

1252
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,680
Yeah, my name's Borgs.

1253
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,680
Uh, I've been trapped in this dwarf's body for a while now,

1254
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,680
and I want to...

1255
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,680
There may be something we can do for you.

1256
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,680
Roll a d20.

1257
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,680
That is a 14.

1258
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,680
You are Flint again.

1259
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,680
Sorry, Flint here now.

1260
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,680
Uh, just switched, uh, switched back control.

1261
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,680
Uh, but yeah, I would like him out of my head.

1262
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,680
That would be, that would be amazing.

1263
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,680
Okay.

1264
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:03,680
We will, um, see how the talks go,

1265
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,680
and then maybe there is something we can do for the two of you.

1266
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,680
Okay, I, I appreciate that a lot.

1267
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,680
Thank you, Nahihilmitch.

1268
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,680
She gives you a nod and extends her hand to your room.

1269
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,680
Uh, I would like it to be, like, uh, an elven, like,

1270
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,680
plush forest with, like, a bunch of moss

1271
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,680
and really comfortable things around,

1272
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,680
because that's like, that's not what I'm used to,

1273
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,680
but it's always been like a dream.

1274
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,680
That's like the exact opposite of what a dwarf would wish for,

1275
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,680
but okay, I like it. Yep.

1276
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,680
But it's unlike your dwarf in Lord of the Rings

1277
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,680
that saw this awesome elven place

1278
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,680
and then was, like, secretly obsessed with it.

1279
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,680
Truth.

1280
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,680
Uh, you step through your door,

1281
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,680
and you, you're unexpectedly taken aback

1282
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,680
when you step onto a wooden bridge.

1283
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,680
It kind of gives underneath you as you step out onto it,

1284
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:57,680
and it leads across to a giant treehouse hut.

1285
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,680
Don't talk about it.

1286
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,680
And in there is, again, one of the most luxurious beds

1287
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,680
and an open-air feel to it.

1288
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,680
Um, you hear birds calling off in the distance,

1289
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:13,680
and you feel like this is one of the most fantastic places

1290
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,680
that you could be at this moment.

1291
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,680
Music in today's episode was by Kavin McLeod

1292
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,680
of incompetech.filmmusic.io.

1293
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,680
Did you read it on my page?

1294
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,680
No. I was going to say the same thing.

1295
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,680
It's a very famous quote, Roscoe.

1296
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,680
Ah! What are the headings of his thing?

1297
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,680
It's the enemy of my enemy.

1298
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,680
Perfect.

1299
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,680
Just heads up, out of game,

1300
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,680
I will be asking you for that every single time

1301
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,680
I need to talk to you people.

1302
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,680
All right. One time you'll forget.

1303
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,680
It's going to be so good.

1304
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,680
It's going to be so bad.

1305
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:04,680
Did I ever tell you guys about the fortune cookie?

1306
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,680
Uh, no, seriously.

1307
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,680
I love this already. I love it already.

1308
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,680
It's amazing.

1309
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,680
I'm ready.

1310
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,680
It's good. I got to look something up, so it's fine.

1311
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,680
A fortune cookie that said...

1312
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,680
It's so funny. I can't believe it's real.

1313
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,680
Oh, my God. I love it.

1314
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,680
It said, try a new hat for a change in looks.

1315
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,680
Be creative.

1316
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,680
That's amazing.

1317
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,680
What?

1318
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,680
It's the best one I'd ever seen.

1319
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,680
Back to cookies.

1320
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,680
Have I ever told you guys about the time I made

1321
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,680
homemade fortune cookies?

1322
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,680
No, that's fun.

1323
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,680
Turns out it's a giant pain in the ass

1324
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,680
and I'm never doing it again, but it was fun.

1325
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,680
There's a reason why it's done by Big Machines.

1326
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,680
When I went to San Francisco,

1327
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,680
I got to see...

1328
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,680
I went in for a fortune cookie factory tour.

1329
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,680
That's awesome.

1330
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,680
That thing is just like...

1331
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,680
And then through the steamroller.

1332
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,680
That makes sense.

1333
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,680
And then the little Chinese people were...

1334
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,680
Also, I tried making homemade wontons

1335
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,680
and that was terrible.

1336
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,680
I made pierogies at home once

1337
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,680
and it was really fun,

1338
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,680
but they were less good

1339
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,680
than the good quality purchased

1340
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,680
pierogies and it took

1341
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,680
a very long time, so I didn't

1342
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,680
do that again.

1343
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,680
I could buy them from the Ukrainian...

1344
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,680
cute Ukrainian ladies

1345
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,680
that sell them at the Ukrainian church.

1346
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,680
My brother is a chef

1347
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,680
and he gave me a recipe for

1348
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,680
sweet potato pierogies.

1349
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,680
The actual dough itself is made from

1350
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,680
sweet potato. It's literally

1351
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,680
two... I think it was

1352
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,680
two ingredients.

1353
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,680
Potato and sweet potato.

1354
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,680
Well, no, the dough itself.

1355
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,680
I think it's just sweet potato and

1356
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,680
sour cream or sweet potato and cream cheese.

1357
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,680
Something like that. It blew my mind.

1358
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,680
Great. You shared that recipe too.

1359
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,680
That sounds great. I will have to ask

1360
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,680
him again and he'll be like, Amy, that was like 11

1361
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,680
years ago. What are you talking about?

1362
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,680
He'll know. He'll know exactly what you're

1363
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,680
talking about. Find it immediately.

1364
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,680
Alright, we're ready.

1365
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,680
I wish for safe travel.

1366
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,680
I wish for safe travels.

1367
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,680
Sorry, my medication's wearing off.

1368
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,680
Holy shit.

1369
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,680
I wish you safe.

1370
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,680
And you quickly come

1371
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,680
into...

1372
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,680
You quickly arrive into...

1373
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,680
Fuck off.

1374
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,680
I really need to give her

1375
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,680
so much.

1376
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,680
It's too much.

1377
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,680
Amy's so tired.

1378
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,680
She just does too much for her.

1379
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,680
The giggles have

1380
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,680
started and it's just one more minute

1381
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,680
you have to wait, I bet. But it's impossible.

1382
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,680
I've so been there. I'm sorry, Amy.

1383
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,680
What would all my room to be, guys? You guys already took such

1384
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,680
a good one. It's like clowns, maybe?

1385
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,680
It's probably clowns.

1386
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,680
Dumbgeons and Dragons is a

1387
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,680
Dumb Dragons production.
