[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.3s] Maybe we should check in with Leosin?
[4.0s] I guess. I mean, honestly, we need some direction about what we need to do.
[8.2s] Well, we need to go to the Wizards of the Thay.
[10.5s] Yeah, and we need to figure out how we're going to do that.
[13.1s] You make your way back up and into Leosin's chambers.
[16.5s] What do you know about Thay?
[19.0s] Oh, nothing. They're not good guys.
[21.8s] Yeah, I can't say anything really rings a bell.
[24.3s] It's a little unsettling when you go there.
[27.1s] The ones that are helping the Cult of the Dragon,
[30.1s] they are run by Wrathmodar, who was exiled by the Wizards of Thay.
[35.4s] Anytime you address someone, it is best to address them
[39.4s] with both their title and their name.
[41.8s] This is going to go great, guys.
[43.2s] It is, because I remember names really well, and I pronounce them impeccably.
[48.2s] Yes, you make it to the teleportation chamber,
[50.4s] Leosin, Lady Leral Silverhand, and Danai Ilmich.
[54.4s] And she begins a ritual.
[56.9s] You quickly arrive into a luxurious chamber,
[61.9s] and she leads you to three rooms.
[64.5s] Do you have any experience with souls being trapped in bodies?
[68.9s] My name's Fort.
[70.5s] I've been trapped in this dwarf's body for a while now, and a while.
[75.8s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[77.5s] We're a D&D fifth edition actual play podcast,
[79.8s] and I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.
[81.5s] And with me today is Amy More.
[84.9s] Why I gotta be first?
[87.2s] I play Thea Amastasia.
[89.1s] And Karla Johnson.
[90.8s] The, what is it?
[92.3s] Golden bronze goddess, but not.
[95.8s] I play Nulara Moonbrook.
[97.8s] And Tom Laird.
[99.8s] Why I gotta be last?
[101.8s] And I play Flynn Firebeard.
[103.5s] Thank you.
[104.8s] I didn't say on theme.
[106.2s] I'm sorry, guys.
[107.0s] It's okay.
[107.4s] Well, it's okay.
[107.8s] We bookended you, bronze goddess.
[111.0s] Where is your tan, Karla?
[113.0s] Well, did you leave it in Mexico?
[115.1s] Did they make you leave it at the border?
[117.8s] You can't take that with you to Canada.
[119.5s] You'll make everyone feel bad.
[120.9s] Anything to declare?
[122.2s] No, I'll just leave my tan here.
[123.8s] I wasn't even allowed to get one.
[125.8s] I do have a tan for me.
[128.8s] I'm a very pale person, FYI, people who only know what I sound like.
[134.8s] So for me, I do have a tan, not really visible on Skype,
[138.7s] because I'm very good about facial sunscreen.
[142.6s] Oh, also, I was in Mexico.
[144.6s] Did I say that?
[145.5s] I feel like none of that made any sense.
[147.4s] I'm just talking about my tan.
[150.1s] I was in Mexico for 10 days.
[152.4s] Karla was in Mexico and now we're back playing games and very happy about it.
[159.4s] Very happy about it.
[160.6s] I missed my friends.
[163.0s] It was only two weeks, but it felt like so long.
[165.7s] I only got to play one other game during that time.
[169.0s] Oh, I'm sorry, Russ.
[170.5s] Right?
[171.0s] So much happened in that time.
[172.6s] It was forever.
[173.4s] I'm sorry that I forgot how to play.
[176.3s] Yeah, me too.
[176.9s] I'm apologizing.
[177.8s] The preemptive apology.
[179.2s] I love it.
[180.1s] Also, if we're just apologizing, I'm also getting sick.
[183.8s] So I don't sound the best.
[185.7s] I'm sorry for that.
[187.4s] It's that season.
[188.6s] I don't think I have much to apologize for.
[190.6s] I did play D&D the other night with my brother, his wife, and their daughter.
[194.2s] So maybe.
[194.9s] So you're fresh.
[196.1s] Yeah, there we go.
[196.7s] I'm ready to go.
[197.7s] I don't apologize.
[200.0s] That's good.
[201.0s] How un-Canadian.
[202.1s] I was going to say a strong anti-Canadian stance from Tom.
[206.0s] And a place where you can get even more apologies.
[212.2s] Try again.
[212.6s] That's true.
[213.0s] And a place where...
[215.8s] Segue master.
[217.8s] Waiting for it.
[218.5s] I gave you your things.
[219.2s] This is making the segue.
[220.8s] It's not happening.
[221.8s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[224.7s] It's sick knowing.
[225.2s] The ultimate segue.
[226.8s] The ultimate segue.
[227.9s] Just jump right into it.
[229.2s] Just yell it out.
[230.6s] You can join us over there.
[232.2s] And we have a wonderful community of fab-fabulous people.
[235.2s] True, the best people.
[236.8s] The best people.
[238.0s] And when you are a patron of ours, you get a- you get an episode dedicated to you.
[241.8s] Like today's episode is dedicated to the lovely Eli McElveen and Sean Howard.
[247.8s] Thanks Eli and Sean.
[249.5s] You guys are awesome.
[251.0s] Now it might seem like we're doubling up, but they put their names all in the same thing.
[254.8s] Oh yeah, fair enough then.
[257.0s] Eli McElveen and Sean Howard, you know, they run those podcasts.
[260.5s] Alba Salix and The End of Time and Other Bothers.
[263.5s] The End of Time and Other Bothers is a great name for a podcast.
[267.0s] It is.
[267.6s] And they are very funny.
[269.4s] Super funny.
[270.0s] It is a funny one.
[271.0s] Their characters are great.
[272.7s] And you know what?
[273.6s] We're going to get to meet them when we go to PodCon in Seattle.
[276.2s] Because they're going too!
[277.3s] Which is like less than two months, you guys.
[279.9s] Yeah, I know.
[280.4s] Yeah, it's coming up real soon.
[282.0s] The only other check was to check Tom's audio.
[284.8s] But we've already done that, so we're good.
[286.8s] Yeah, I checked it before.
[287.9s] I even checked it while we were on Skype originally to see,
[291.1s] to make sure that Skype wasn't fucking with it.
[293.3s] And it seems fine.
[294.6s] And you know what?
[296.3s] Audio things happen.
[298.0s] We still put out some great episodes.
[300.2s] Apologies about the audio.
[301.9s] And now we're back to crystal clear Tom, which we're good talking about this so much.
[308.4s] And then, you know, when we get it, it...
[310.6s] Oh, it better not be bad when I stop this file.
[315.4s] Fuck it.
[315.8s] Let's play D&D.
[320.4s] Everybody remember where we were.
[322.1s] You guys can talk about it.
[323.1s] Yeah.
[324.3s] Say, we're in Thay.
[325.7s] We're in Thay.
[326.3s] We're in our theme room.
[327.1s] Badass theme room, yeah.
[328.6s] Oh, yeah.
[329.8s] We've got Arabian Nights happening.
[330.7s] Remember what your theme room feels like.
[334.8s] It's Arabian Nights.
[336.1s] I'm lounging on silk pillows.
[338.1s] There's just like oranges and pinks everywhere.
[340.9s] It's fantastic.
[342.5s] I'm pretty sure I've got like an elven theme going on, if I remember correctly.
[347.7s] Mine's very like northern and frost giant-y and like...
[353.7s] Hearths and fur rugs and whatnot.
[356.8s] Tom or Flint's was the very hardest for me to remember because I haven't edited that far.
[361.4s] And I was like, what the fuck was his?
[363.0s] And I had to ask Amy because it was like...
[365.5s] He went with like an elven tree thing.
[367.4s] I was like, oh, fuck.
[368.2s] He got desperate.
[369.3s] He was like, did you hear that?
[370.2s] I was like, oh, my God, I racked my brain and I couldn't find my notes and I didn't edit.
[373.7s] And then eventually I had to ask the other person who actually did the podcast.
[378.5s] And it turns out she remembered.
[381.1s] Oh, my gosh.
[383.4s] It wasn't a slight against you.
[385.2s] No, but I mean, come on.
[387.5s] It's a real good chance that I wasn't going to remember.
[390.5s] Because it didn't have to do with me and I'm super selfish.
[392.2s] It's a real solid chance, guys.
[394.6s] So you have entered your respective room's doors closed behind you.
[399.2s] Nigh Ilmitch said that she would call upon you when Tharchian Iseldra Yep is ready for you.
[411.1s] Flint!
[412.6s] And you are Flint right now.
[414.4s] Yes.
[415.4s] Yeah.
[416.5s] I remember that, too.
[418.5s] In your room, there is a...
[420.2s] In each of your rooms, but we'll start with Flint.
[422.1s] There is a table by fireplace with food and a pitcher of ale,
[427.6s] as well as a jug of water.
[430.9s] A note is left beside with a bell and the note says,
[436.6s] ring for service.
[438.2s] So your whole room is an elven oasis, a treetop village.
[445.6s] Very misty, very, very earthy.
[450.6s] Not what a dwarf would normally wish for, but you have.
[455.8s] That's right.
[456.1s] This is what you have.
[457.8s] So you've got some time, you've got some food, you've got some things.
[461.8s] What do you want to do while you're here?
[464.1s] I don't know.
[464.6s] Probably just relax.
[465.6s] I mean, the last few days haven't been harrowing, but they've been very busy.
[470.6s] Be nice to just take a break.
[472.7s] Sounds good.
[473.4s] You'll have a Kit Kat bar, et cetera.
[476.8s] There is a very, very comfortable hammock set up
[482.6s] in the main living space of this area that you are in.
[487.2s] Flint does love him a hammock.
[488.9s] Cue to a really funny little montage of him trying to get in the hammock.
[493.2s] Yeah, how high is it hung up?
[494.6s] It'd be hard.
[495.2s] Spinning and like arms and legs and like a big knot in the middle.
[498.8s] It's just high enough to be awkward.
[502.2s] Everything else in this room is perfect, except for the height of the hammock.
[506.5s] But that's what I really, really want.
[509.9s] He climbs a tree and doesn't fall onto the hammock.
[516.2s] Should I roll some sort of dex roll to get in this hammock?
[519.4s] Oh, no, we're just we're just leaving that in the minds of the people
[522.2s] just to see how well you do some of them.
[524.0s] In my mind, you're still struggling to get in.
[526.0s] Oh, yeah, it is.
[527.1s] The struggle is real.
[529.1s] You have a real good nap and you're done though,
[530.7s] because you will have earned it.
[532.2s] It's tuckered right out.
[534.0s] Sounds good.
[534.6s] All right, we'll leave you to struggle with your hammock.
[536.6s] Nulara, you are in this ice cave.
[540.5s] This frost giant's very reminiscent of a frost giant's lair there.
[544.6s] There are large polar bear pelts.
[548.3s] There's furs and very heavy thick fabrics laid upon the large bed.
[556.0s] As well, in your room, there is a very comfortable large chair
[561.8s] beside a fireplace and the same table of food,
[566.4s] pitcher of ale, and clean jug of water with the same note,
[570.3s] ring for service, with a little bell beside it.
[573.3s] What are you doing in this room?
[575.8s] I think probably first, I'm going to walk around and touch everything
[580.6s] like Carla does in real life when she goes places.
[585.2s] Carla's not fighting over anymore.
[588.0s] But just something that's so texture-rich,
[591.0s] if there are furs and rich velvets and things,
[594.6s] I'm going to want to walk around and pet everything,
[597.3s] see what feels nice.
[599.5s] I'm probably going to drink some water and eat some of that food.
[604.2s] And then probably also just relax,
[609.2s] because yeah, it hasn't been an exciting few days,
[612.3s] but I suspect there are some exciting times ahead,
[615.3s] so always best to relax while you can,
[619.6s] like in real life, when you should always eat or go pee
[622.4s] whenever you can, just in case.
[625.1s] So always a good idea.
[627.8s] That's good.
[628.2s] You do that.
[629.0s] You settle up in the chair, wherever you are comfortable,
[635.4s] and you start relaxing for a good long while,
[638.0s] and then you hear the dagger in your head.
[644.4s] Stuck at the mercy of the red wizards, are you?
[647.9s] Not a great place to be in.
[649.6s] Yeah, you're in a room very reminiscent of the region of Chult,
[661.4s] so very rich in satins and linens and all sorts
[668.4s] of very comfortable and desert and forest type things.
[674.0s] Lots of flowy robes and pillows.
[675.8s] Tapestries and just jewel tones.
[678.6s] All those things.
[681.1s] Golds.
[682.1s] Very rich plush bed.
[685.6s] Big massive fireplace.
[688.0s] Again, a spread of food and ale and water.
[692.6s] Same note, ring for service and a tiny bell.
[698.1s] What are you doing in this room?
[699.4s] Oh, Thea looks around and is just like,
[704.6s] she's like, oh, this is just exactly what I wanted.
[707.4s] And she immediately strips off all of her clothes
[710.0s] and crawls into the bed and just rolls around naked on the fabrics.
[714.2s] Because if you have all those rich fabrics,
[718.7s] you gotta get it all over your body.
[720.4s] And Thea is kind of a nudist a little bit.
[722.5s] She just likes, any time a door closes,
[724.5s] I believe she takes off her pants.
[726.5s] That's how I imagine her to be.
[728.5s] Similar to myself, right?
[729.8s] You get home after a day's work,
[731.0s] you're like, I'm not wearing real clothes anymore.
[732.8s] Only she just like full on goes buck ass naked.
[735.8s] It only took 64 episodes to figure that out.
[738.2s] Yeah.
[738.4s] That's good.
[739.1s] Yeah.
[739.9s] We knew she's like naked.
[741.0s] Character development, Russ.
[742.2s] Well, we don't spend a lot of times in fancy hotel rooms, Russ.
[747.0s] Unknowing how long you have in this room,
[749.4s] you have stripped completely naked.
[751.8s] True, someone could be in in five minutes,
[753.4s] but Thea's like,
[754.4s] this might be the only time I get to have in this bed.
[757.0s] Exactly.
[757.5s] I'm very much the way Nularaaa is thinking right now.
[760.0s] And Flint, if you have some time to relax,
[762.8s] just take it.
[763.8s] So I'm taking it.
[765.0s] Pants off, dance off.
[767.9s] There's no pants party here.
[770.6s] Back to Flint.
[774.5s] A knock comes to the door as you are relaxing,
[777.8s] chillax and all cool.
[780.5s] Am I shooting some b-ball outside of the school?
[784.1s] You might be.
[784.9s] Couple of guys who were up to no good
[787.0s] started making trouble in my neighborhood.
[788.9s] That's who's knocking on the door.
[792.4s] How long does it take me to get out of the hammock?
[795.7s] Roll for hammock.
[798.0s] Okay, I'm going to roll a straight up D20 hammock roll
[801.0s] and it's a 10.
[801.9s] I split the difference.
[803.3s] Dear, 30 minutes later.
[806.2s] No, I mean.
[807.2s] Wait, because what a success would have been 15 minutes?
[810.5s] I guess.
[811.8s] It's a tough roll.
[813.0s] No, it takes you, it takes you,
[815.0s] we'll say like 30 seconds of struggling,
[817.7s] good hard struggling to get out of this hammock.
[820.9s] But.
[821.7s] We hear the grunting that would be heard
[823.9s] from behind the door.
[825.0s] Like what kind of noise is Flint making?
[826.5s] Don't know what's going on in there.
[829.4s] They're like.
[831.8s] We'll come back, it's okay.
[833.7s] Long enough that there's a hesitant second knock,
[836.5s] so we'll say that.
[838.9s] Coming, coming.
[841.0s] And I go and answer the door.
[844.6s] You open the door to a pale faced human
[849.0s] who stands before you
[850.9s] and you see greens and blues blotched
[853.8s] all over the man's visible skin.
[857.0s] Cloudy eyes, he looks down at you
[860.2s] because he is much taller than you
[862.4s] as you open the door.
[864.9s] And he says, master fire beard or other soul,
[871.4s] you have placed a request for a certain ritual.
[876.6s] Oh, yeah, that would be the other guy asked for that.
[880.0s] But yeah, kind of.
[882.2s] We're curious of how to get this other dude
[885.4s] out of my head.
[887.4s] Yes, yes.
[889.0s] The great Zaz Tam has been approached
[893.3s] about your request and Zaz Tam can help you.
[899.2s] Zaz Tam has the power to grant all requests.
[903.8s] It's like imagining like kind of like the movie
[910.1s] Kazam or Shazam.
[911.8s] Zaz Tam.
[912.5s] Zaz Tam.
[915.5s] What that would be like.
[916.1s] If he could say Zaz Tam after he casts
[918.5s] every single spell, that would be great.
[920.3s] It would be, sorry.
[923.1s] So Zaz Tam.
[924.8s] Yeah, let's, can I go see him now?
[926.5s] Is he coming here?
[927.8s] What do you have in mind?
[929.5s] He would, he would not see you particularly.
[935.0s] Oh, OK.
[936.2s] But he could grant you what you request.
[941.4s] The ritual involves removing the unwanted soul.
[946.8s] In this case, he looks down at you.
[949.3s] I believe the dragon borns soul and placing it into a new host.
[957.2s] Yeah, that would be great because I mean, I want Bort,
[960.6s] I want him to have somewhere to go.
[962.0s] I just don't want him to stop existing.
[965.6s] Well, hosts are plentiful here, aren't they?
[969.2s] Yeah, you guys are like a bunch of liches, right?
[974.6s] No.
[974.9s] Is that an offensive term?
[976.2s] I know.
[976.6s] I was like, is that racist in the world?
[979.1s] Are you undead?
[979.9s] It's like actually would prefer to be called like previously living.
[983.8s] I must have been misinformed.
[985.5s] I'm sorry about that.
[986.9s] There is but one lich, the great Zaz Tam.
[991.4s] I was going to say, is it Zaz Tam?
[993.3s] Yes, yes, it is.
[997.5s] Yes, souls, however, are harder to come by.
[1001.8s] And I didn't mean it as like a pejorative.
[1003.8s] You know the old saying, liches kill bitches.
[1010.9s] That old positive saying.
[1012.6s] Yep.
[1013.4s] He has a very confused look on his face.
[1017.5s] He says, I don't believe I have heard that one before.
[1021.1s] Oh, it's all the rage back in and around Waterdeep.
[1025.6s] He has a bit of a disgusted look on his face.
[1028.0s] He says, yes, okay.
[1032.2s] While Zaz Tam can grant you your request, he requires only one thing.
[1039.4s] Okay.
[1040.5s] We must be upfront about these things.
[1043.9s] You and the unwanted soul will become a follower of the great Zaz Tam.
[1053.4s] Wait, both of us?
[1054.7s] You will aid him and his military in bringing down his enemies in Rathmodar,
[1063.2s] as well as aiding in greater battles against enemies in Rashman and beyond.
[1069.2s] Well, I mean, we're kind of doing our part to not let Tiamat rise.
[1073.9s] Does that count towards my tally on the good side of things?
[1080.3s] Zaz Tam deals in bargains, one for one.
[1086.0s] So, yes?
[1090.2s] I'm not opposed to the idea of helping him out,
[1092.3s] just like we are busy with this other world-saving mission at the moment.
[1097.1s] Yes.
[1099.4s] I mean, I'm sure Bort would hop on board right away,
[1101.8s] but I might need some time.
[1103.0s] That's all I'm saying.
[1103.8s] Just give me the time.
[1104.7s] I just need the time.
[1106.2s] The offer is only good as long as you are in Thay.
[1113.1s] Okay, I'll think it over.
[1117.2s] Just ring the bell for service.
[1119.9s] And he turns and leaves.
[1122.6s] Oh, it's not just food and drinks the bell will bring.
[1124.8s] It's also soul removal bargains with liches.
[1128.5s] It's amazing.
[1129.8s] I was wondering about the service.
[1132.9s] You close the door and get back to your hammock.
[1138.2s] 20 to 30 minutes later.
[1140.9s] He'll get in and then someone will knock on the door.
[1143.2s] Someone else will knock on the door.
[1145.4s] Oh my God.
[1148.6s] Back to Nulara.
[1150.2s] The dagger has just said he's laughing at you.
[1154.3s] Stuck at the mercy of the red wizards.
[1156.2s] Are you not a great, not a great place to be?
[1165.6s] Sweetie.
[1170.5s] You want to be a star?
[1173.0s] You want to be a star, don't you?
[1175.4s] As if I couldn't eat the fucking dagger more.
[1179.0s] Yeah, it's like a fucking creepy Hollywood agent.
[1183.0s] Sleazy agent.
[1185.9s] She's Estelle from Friends.
[1187.3s] That's what it is.
[1188.2s] Yeah.
[1188.6s] Okay, gotcha.
[1189.4s] Yep.
[1189.6s] Oh, see, that's more, that's cuter.
[1192.2s] Anyways.
[1193.3s] Anyway, what do you know about here?
[1198.0s] Have you been here before?
[1200.2s] Oh, oh, yes, yes.
[1203.0s] Me and the master.
[1204.2s] We've been all around and we know exactly
[1207.9s] what the red wizards are capable of.
[1209.9s] And let me just tell you,
[1211.9s] he could grant you so much power,
[1215.1s] you would be able to deal with these cultists
[1217.8s] really single-handedly.
[1219.7s] Is that right?
[1220.4s] What, and who's the master again?
[1223.8s] What's his name?
[1224.4s] Did you give me that before?
[1225.8s] Feel like we haven't communicated one-on-one like this before.
[1229.8s] It's been a while, at least a day.
[1234.2s] But no, the master, I don't believe I did give you his name.
[1239.1s] Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to give you his name yet.
[1245.9s] Hold on.
[1247.7s] Stupid tag.
[1249.3s] Let me just send a quick email.
[1252.5s] No, I don't think I'm supposed to give you his name yet.
[1256.6s] When we're communicating, Russ,
[1257.9s] are we like in my mind communicating
[1262.2s] or am I actually speaking out loud?
[1263.8s] You tell me.
[1264.2s] Before he's like in my head, right?
[1266.2s] He's definitely in your head,
[1267.5s] but how are you communicating to him?
[1269.5s] Are you talking out loud like Donnie would hear
[1271.7s] or are you just verbalizing like in your mind?
[1276.3s] Well, also wouldn't Donnie hear that?
[1278.8s] He would hear that too.
[1279.7s] So Donnie hears all, yep.
[1281.4s] Donnie knows what's up.
[1282.2s] You and your telepathic connections
[1283.6s] with everything on your body.
[1288.3s] I have an open brain policy.
[1290.6s] Just anyone just wander on in.
[1293.4s] To have a seat, make yourself at home.
[1295.2s] Tell me they're nonsense or not.
[1297.4s] About their master or not.
[1302.8s] I feel like it would have to maybe be telepathically
[1305.8s] because we were communicating before and he's like.
[1311.2s] I don't know.
[1311.7s] We've had scenes where you've been having
[1316.2s] a conversation with it and people have reacted.
[1318.9s] Heard me?
[1320.0s] I think so.
[1320.5s] Can people hear me?
[1322.1s] Honestly, I just can't remember, Russ.
[1323.4s] I can't.
[1324.0s] We've already established.
[1325.4s] I think if you're alone in your room,
[1327.0s] though, maybe you're wandering around,
[1328.8s] touching things, being like.
[1330.4s] The last time you heard from the dagger
[1333.0s] was when you hugged Thaddeus goodbye
[1335.0s] and he was like, oh, just stab him a little bit.
[1337.4s] But you didn't say anything in response to that.
[1339.9s] Just stab him a little bit.
[1342.7s] And then, yeah, I guess.
[1345.4s] Yeah, you probably wouldn't know.
[1347.3s] Maybe you wouldn't know if I'm trying to think of.
[1349.5s] Well, because I don't think so,
[1350.6s] because I don't think like others don't know
[1354.3s] so much what's going on with me and him.
[1357.2s] Yeah, there's only been a couple back and forths
[1359.0s] and everything else is either him just talking to you
[1361.8s] and you just disregarding.
[1363.4s] So, yeah.
[1364.2s] I don't think we know that the dagger is talking to her
[1368.9s] because it told her that if she tells anyone
[1373.3s] that she's talking to the dagger,
[1375.0s] that it'll make her kill them.
[1378.2s] Yeah, and I like can't ask them for help and stuff.
[1380.3s] So, OK, so in my mind, although Amy is right
[1383.3s] in this specific instance,
[1385.0s] I could be talking a lot because I'm by myself in my room,
[1387.7s] but what if?
[1390.1s] So that was a no on the master's name.
[1392.6s] Yeah.
[1394.5s] It's a roundabout way to learn that that was a no.
[1397.4s] Well, it's good to establish, though.
[1399.1s] Yeah, yeah.
[1403.1s] What does your master want me to do
[1407.2s] other than stab my friends?
[1409.7s] Well, now that now that you and I are here,
[1416.5s] I mean, he has a stake in this battle,
[1418.7s] just like any any other any other person.
[1423.0s] Tiamat's return is not ideal for anyone,
[1426.2s] obviously, as you know.
[1429.1s] And after we see keeping her to, you know, her hell home,
[1434.6s] the world would be ripe for a new ruler, so to speak.
[1438.7s] And with you and me at the master's side
[1445.1s] could all go very well for us.
[1448.3s] I'm going to say you're not really like very forward thinking
[1450.9s] because if what you want is to stop Tiamat,
[1453.9s] you should not have me be stabbing my friends
[1456.5s] who are actively trying to stop Tiamat.
[1459.6s] Just saying.
[1461.3s] Seems like we're on the same side right now.
[1463.3s] That was a hindsight moment, you know, hindsight's 2020, OK?
[1467.7s] See, what what I had come from was the cult of the dragon.
[1471.2s] They wanted everybody dead.
[1473.6s] And I was trying to work it from the inside, right?
[1477.7s] Sure.
[1478.6s] Whereas now you, it was a quick turn.
[1481.0s] I was like, oh, these two people want to fight over me.
[1484.9s] Who's stronger?
[1486.0s] You won that one.
[1488.8s] And then I said, look, I'm not going to kill anybody.
[1493.9s] I am loving this dagger.
[1496.2s] So maybe for a while in, you know, I'm not saying yes or no
[1501.0s] to joining your master, but maybe just for the time being,
[1504.2s] we could put an X-Nay on the stabbing of the friends.
[1509.0s] OK, yes, 100 percent.
[1510.8s] No stabbing of the friends.
[1512.2s] However, there's this thing where I get a little thirsty.
[1520.5s] So.
[1524.2s] For blood, I'm assuming.
[1525.7s] Yeah, blood.
[1526.2s] Or can we just, you don't need to dance around it.
[1528.2s] Let's just.
[1529.7s] We need to get it.
[1530.2s] Need to get a little.
[1531.0s] Call a bloodthirsty dagger, a bloodthirsty dagger.
[1534.9s] OK.
[1535.4s] From time to time, that might need to happen.
[1538.6s] Don't know where, don't know when, but I'll let you know.
[1544.1s] It won't be your friend.
[1545.2s] OK.
[1545.7s] Unless, of course, we can't get the thing that we need
[1549.6s] to make that go away at the time.
[1551.4s] Then I can't be held accountable for what happens.
[1555.0s] Hey, if I know the parameters I'm working with are
[1557.9s] you need to kill something.
[1561.4s] I can kill things.
[1562.4s] I have no problem with killing things.
[1564.2s] I just don't want to stab my friends.
[1566.2s] I get it.
[1567.2s] I get it.
[1568.0s] I didn't want to stab my friends either.
[1574.0s] Fia, what are you doing?
[1575.0s] You know, maybe the dagger went to dagger school, had to murder its dagger friends.
[1591.0s] I know this is a thing.
[1592.2s] There's probably a whole dagger back story.
[1594.2s] Only the sharpest and strongest survive.
[1596.7s] Exactly.
[1597.0s] Two dagger enter, one dagger leave, et cetera, et cetera.
[1601.9s] Fia, what are you doing?
[1603.1s] I'm rolling around on my bed naked.
[1605.6s] I've brought the tray of food onto the bed because walking to get food is for stupid people.
[1615.3s] And I am just like, I'm just like on my bed like this.
[1620.2s] The tray is in front of me.
[1621.2s] I got my feet kicking up behind me.
[1623.1s] I'm on my tummy.
[1623.8s] I'm like popping grapes and whatever in my mouth.
[1625.7s] I'm just having the best time.
[1627.5s] A knock comes at the door.
[1630.2s] Hello.
[1633.7s] Yeah, yeah, yes.
[1640.0s] Speak up.
[1640.5s] I can't quite hear you.
[1641.5s] Okay.
[1644.9s] Usually people open doors.
[1646.9s] You can open it.
[1647.6s] You got arms.
[1648.5s] Do you have arms?
[1649.4s] If you don't, I'm real sorry.
[1651.0s] I have one arm.
[1652.2s] Okay, well you can use it.
[1654.2s] The door slowly opens and you see what looks clearly like an
[1662.5s] undead human enter the room and he slowly leans in.
[1669.4s] And just nude, just doesn't care.
[1671.5s] Well, I don't think I'd get dressed for it, but I'd be like, what do you want?
[1675.2s] This is part of your disrespect.
[1677.0s] Yeah, that's right.
[1677.8s] Look at my butt.
[1679.4s] Look at my butt.
[1682.5s] You can't even deserve a clothia.
[1684.8s] Oh, what?
[1686.3s] Okay.
[1698.5s] You can leave now.
[1699.8s] Yes, slowly.
[1704.6s] Nice butt.
[1705.1s] Creeps back out.
[1706.4s] Yeah, creeps back out.
[1707.9s] Weirdo.
[1708.4s] The butt wasn't a punishment.
[1713.7s] Tia gets dressed.
[1715.0s] This is the thrill of my undead life.
[1716.8s] Bye.
[1718.6s] Flint, you've just settled back into your hammock and a knock comes at the door.
[1725.2s] I once again struggled to get out of the hammock.
[1728.2s] Although I've gotten better at it.
[1729.7s] It only takes me about 15 seconds now to get out of the hammock.
[1732.5s] Sure.
[1732.9s] In my mind, you just have realized that the most efficient way to get out
[1736.5s] is the least graceful.
[1737.9s] Like you can always get out of a hammock quickly.
[1741.7s] It's just like-
[1742.3s] Just lean.
[1743.7s] Exactly.
[1744.3s] It's just awkward and you might hurt yourself, but it's quick.
[1748.2s] Roll for damage for falling out of the hammock.
[1753.2s] I go hop back onto my feet after landing on the floor and I go answer the door.
[1760.6s] You see a one-armed undead human.
[1765.8s] He's got hair plastered to his face and he looks down at you and he says,
[1771.3s] Nye Ilmich has sent me Tharchin Eseldra Yeth.
[1775.7s] We'll see you.
[1777.4s] Please ready yourself.
[1782.0s] Okay.
[1782.8s] Do I need my weapons or can I just go like this?
[1786.0s] Because I'm ready.
[1787.8s] The last door was naked.
[1792.5s] So I'm way ahead of the game then is what you're telling me.
[1795.3s] Yes.
[1795.8s] You got a good 20 minutes.
[1796.6s] Usually I'm the naked one.
[1799.1s] Yes.
[1800.3s] Um, I will knock on the final door and come to fetch you.
[1806.9s] All right.
[1807.1s] Well, I'll just go have some of this food and I'll even leave the door open.
[1811.1s] Just yell when you need me.
[1812.5s] Yes.
[1813.1s] Enjoy the food.
[1815.0s] And he turns and-
[1816.3s] And I shoot him a quick high five before he turns and walks away.
[1820.2s] He looks to move.
[1822.0s] I go for like the other side that his hand isn't on though.
[1824.9s] And then I'm like, oh, and I look all embarrassed and then go for the other side.
[1827.9s] He just hangs his head, but then puts up his one hand.
[1836.9s] Nice follow work.
[1838.7s] Just a little aside.
[1839.9s] Just a story because something like this very similarly happened to my brother.
[1843.9s] So he used to work in a hospital, um, as a lab technician.
[1848.4s] And one day he got into, he was waiting for an elevator.
[1852.3s] And so it opened and he held the door for someone.
[1855.4s] And he said, hop on in here.
[1857.1s] The dude only had one leg.
[1860.7s] So I think the equivalent of maybe getting a high five
[1863.1s] from someone with only one arm and going for the wrong side.
[1866.3s] Totally.
[1867.0s] It happens.
[1868.9s] D&D mimics real life.
[1870.6s] Right.
[1871.2s] Always.
[1872.4s] Always.
[1874.0s] Sometimes.
[1874.4s] Constantly.
[1875.1s] Constantly.
[1876.1s] Constantly.
[1876.9s] Can't tell you how many pieces of cutlery in my house are talking to me right now.
[1881.5s] We're all very concerned about Carla.
[1883.9s] She really needed that vacation.
[1884.5s] I do spend a lot of time alone in my place.
[1888.0s] So.
[1888.4s] Carla, let's kill the hacky sack guy.
[1895.5s] I'm sorry.
[1896.0s] Is there a hacky sack guy?
[1897.5s] Yeah.
[1897.9s] Oh, is there ever?
[1899.3s] Let's discuss that next episode's intro.
[1902.7s] Oh, all right.
[1903.5s] All right.
[1904.3s] Stay tuned next week to find out about the hacky sack guy.
[1907.2s] I'm very excited.
[1908.0s] He is a treat.
[1909.9s] Ah, New Laura.
[1912.7s] You've just had this.
[1913.9s] Your hat.
[1914.3s] Your.
[1915.6s] It's basically where we left off and a knock comes at the door.
[1920.4s] Okay.
[1920.8s] I go open the door.
[1923.2s] And you see a one-armed undead human hair plastered to his face.
[1929.1s] And he looks at you and he says,
[1931.2s] Are you ready?
[1940.5s] I'm ready.
[1941.4s] Let's do it.
[1942.5s] All right.
[1944.9s] I do, like, gather up my things, but most of my things are, you know.
[1949.7s] I should clarify.
[1950.6s] I don't bring, like, my traveling pack and my, you know.
[1955.7s] I grab my weapons and my, like, normal things.
[1958.7s] As you're grabbing things, he's like,
[1960.3s] You will return here before you leave if you need to leave anything in this room.
[1967.8s] Okay.
[1969.2s] Great.
[1969.9s] And he goes and he knocks on Thea's door.
[1973.9s] I open it on, like, the one knock and I'm fully ready.
[1978.8s] All my weapons are on me.
[1980.3s] He looks unimpressed.
[1984.0s] So you want to see that butt again.
[1986.7s] I just stare at him.
[1988.8s] He keeps walking down to Flint's door.
[1991.2s] Well, my door is open.
[1992.7s] And I'm just standing in the door jam with a comically large wheel of cheese.
[1997.1s] And I'm ready to go.
[2001.5s] And he leads the way down the hall around a corner and down at the end
[2006.1s] where you see Nye Ilmich.
[2008.2s] And she is standing at a closed double door.
[2012.2s] And she says,
[2014.0s] Thank you, Edward.
[2015.9s] And he bows to you and heads off down another hall.
[2021.1s] And she says,
[2021.9s] Tharchin Iseldra Yef is prepared to see you now.
[2026.1s] Are you prepared?
[2028.3s] Is there anything we need to know in advance?
[2032.1s] Just be yourself.
[2034.6s] Oh, that's not good advice.
[2035.7s] You're going to regret that advice.
[2037.3s] Yeah.
[2039.5s] We discussed the titles, the use of titles, yes.
[2043.9s] Yes.
[2045.5s] So Tharchin is the title.
[2047.8s] Tharchin Iseldra Yef.
[2052.1s] I should really write this down.
[2055.8s] I think I did and now my notebook is...
[2057.6s] She waits for you as you begin scrolling on notepads.
[2063.1s] Tharchin Iseldra Yef.
[2070.7s] Got it.
[2071.2s] Thanks, Nye Ilmich.
[2073.1s] Of course, FlintFirebeard.
[2078.5s] You enter a large audience chamber.
[2081.9s] You see seated in the center on a large throne-like chair
[2087.8s] a woman who is wearing elegant red robes.
[2092.5s] She has very pale fair skin which gives the appearance of porcelain.
[2098.4s] She has long braided jet black hair
[2101.7s] and her eyes appear a deep amber.
[2105.5s] Judding out over and pressing into her lower lip you see fang-like canine.
[2115.1s] She is accompanied by ten red wizards and five whites.
[2122.1s] As you approach she waits until you come to the front of the chamber
[2128.2s] and she looks at you and she delivers what appears to be a prepared message.
[2133.6s] She says,
[2135.7s] We find ourselves bound in common cause against common enemies.
[2142.2s] Those who sought to destroy us in ages past now seek to destroy you.
[2148.0s] Our thirst for vengeance is strong as is your thirst for continued life.
[2153.9s] Our enemy has become your enemy.
[2157.9s] We know their weaknesses and the ways of destroying them forever
[2161.5s] without destroying their usefulness.
[2164.7s] You have the opportunity to discover their hiding places
[2168.5s] in your struggle against their cult allies.
[2171.9s] Together we can remove them as a threat to both of us.
[2176.4s] Our agent Nye Ilmich will return with you to your city of Waterdeep
[2181.3s] there to serve as our liaison to your council.
[2184.4s] What you learn of the enemy she will relay to us by means of our own.
[2190.0s] You need only find the enemy.
[2192.7s] We will deal with them as is our custom.
[2197.1s] I am authorized by our eternal master Zaz Tam to say these things for I act in his name.
[2205.4s] Well, hello there! I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More.
[2208.3s] Thanks for joining us for episode 64 of Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2212.3s] Come out to Thay! Have a few laughs!
[2216.6s] Before we get back to the intense negotiations that you know the adventures are going to bring,
[2221.9s] we just want to send out a huge thank you to you for coming along on the adventure with us.
[2228.7s] We've reached a pretty huge milestone recently where we hit 40,000 downloads or listens,
[2240.4s] and that means that there are a whole bunch of you who have begun listening to us this year.
[2245.5s] We are thrilled to have you here with us, so thank you.
[2248.8s] We have some pretty big goals story-wise coming up in 2019 that we are very
[2253.9s] excited for as we get closer to the climax of our story.
[2257.9s] We think that you are going to love some of the new stuff we're crafting behind the scenes as well.
[2261.7s] We don't have it all set in stone yet, so I don't want to reveal too much,
[2264.6s] but it involves some super fun new directions for our players and characters to embark on.
[2270.5s] Hey, if you're loving what we're doing and you would like to support the show even more,
[2274.3s] as well as join a wonderful community filled with outstanding people,
[2278.2s] we invite you to check out our Patreon community over at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[2283.8s] If you're unaware of how Patreon works, it's a creator to patron driven platform where you,
[2289.9s] as a supporter of a show, artist, or content creator, can choose to sign up for a monthly
[2294.7s] fee that fits your budget to become a part of that creator's inner circle,
[2299.8s] the closest knit people within their community, our community.
[2304.3s] And by signing up and supporting the creators you love, that allows those creators to be paid
[2308.7s] for the things they do, which for us has allowed us to invest back in the show to make
[2312.9s] it sound better and better as we go with new equipment, investing in music and sound effect
[2317.9s] programs, as well as putting some of our expenses together to get all four of us to
[2322.8s] podcon in Seattle this January, where we'll get to meet you if you're going to be there,
[2328.0s] but also meet a whole ton of creators sparking new relationships and inspiring
[2332.3s] even better storytelling for the years to come.
[2334.6s] We just hosted our monthly goog hang for patrons, where patrons at the Squire level
[2339.1s] and up, that's $2 per month, get together with us and chat about the show, about life,

[2405.9s] And the next episode will be out Wednesday, December 5th.
[2408.7s] Geez, we're in December, can you believe it?
[2410.5s] This year is just going to use that cliche, and this year has really flown by.
[2414.7s] Too much fun, too much excitement, too many things going on.
[2417.6s] Speaking of which, let's get back to those negotiations.
[2421.5s] Have a great week.
[2422.4s] We'll talk soon.
[2430.3s] So, you want us to find the exiles and tell Nihilmich where they are,
[2436.3s] and she'll tell you and you'll help us defeat the Cult of the Dragon?
[2440.3s] Am I paraphrasing correctly?
[2444.4s] My lady.
[2445.1s] Tharchinus Eldrieus.
[2448.6s] She looks to Flint and says yes.
[2457.1s] And how will you destroy the Cult in your own custom, Tharchinus Eldrieus?
[2465.8s] She looks to you and she says-
[2468.1s] Oh, she'll look at me.
[2470.2s] Our concern is not necessarily with the Cult, but the red wizards
[2479.0s] she has a disgusted catch in her throat.
[2482.3s] The exiles who are aiding them.
[2489.1s] Without them, their plan is void.
[2493.7s] Okay.
[2496.6s] Flint Firebeard.
[2498.6s] Yes.
[2500.3s] How long have you been tracking the Cult's movements?
[2505.9s] Well, at this point, it seems like a lifetime.
[2508.3s] Sorry, I can't be more specific than that.
[2510.7s] It has been a long time.
[2513.4s] Nularaaaa Moonbrook.
[2515.8s] When was your first encounter with Wrath Modar?
[2519.7s] I don't recall, Tharchinus Eldrieus.
[2532.3s] Thea Amastasia.
[2536.5s] What forces are joining the fight against the Cult of the Dragon?
[2542.1s] In the fight against Tiamat, we have the Metallic Dragons on our side.
[2548.8s] We have the forces of different armies and groups around Faerun, I guess.
[2559.6s] General area of Faerun, I suppose.
[2562.6s] Yeah, who are willing to fight with us.
[2566.3s] The smaller towns themselves are even doing their best to drive them back.
[2571.9s] If nothing else, it's really big community building.
[2574.9s] It's really bringing everyone together.
[2577.5s] Hmm.
[2578.7s] People love a shared enemy.
[2581.4s] What do you require from us?
[2585.9s] Well, the offer of getting rid of the exiled red wizards is absolutely fantastic.
[2597.0s] Because as you said, Tharchinus Eldrieus,
[2601.1s] without them, they will not be able to do the ritual required to bring Tiamat.
[2607.5s] However, there's a lot going on outside of that with the cult destroying villages and
[2621.5s] recruiting other dragons that just whatever help you're able to offer
[2628.3s] outside of what you are already prepared to do, we would not say no to.
[2633.1s] Flint Firebeard, you are prepared to bring an undead army to your battle.
[2641.9s] Would I be the one leading it?
[2644.7s] No.
[2648.5s] That's fine. I was just scared.
[2649.7s] I mean, I am.
[2650.4s] I have a big soldier background, so I wanted to make sure about that one.
[2655.5s] Yes, I believe that we will take any help that we can get.
[2660.4s] I have a question.
[2662.2s] With this, I mean, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
[2669.2s] The Wizards of Thay have not necessarily been friends of Faerun before.
[2677.5s] What is to stop you and yours from striking when Faerun is at its weakest with
[2686.1s] armies of undead already in place?
[2688.8s] It just raises a few red flags for me.
[2691.6s] She continues to look at you, Flint, and says,
[2699.1s] our issues and our fight is not with Faerun or the Lord's Alliance.
[2709.9s] It is stopping Rath Modar and the exiled Wizards.
[2715.8s] It is stopping Rashomon from crossing our borders and using our wellspring of power.
[2730.3s] So this is more of a protect your own back by cleaning up your mess situation.
[2737.5s] Rath Modar believes that bringing Tiamat to the material plane
[2746.0s] will give him power and favor from the Dragon Queen.
[2754.5s] That makes sense.
[2755.4s] I mean, if anyone could bring her back, of course, she would look kindly upon them.
[2760.0s] It makes sense to me that you would want to nip that in the bud before it were to happen,
[2765.9s] because if he did gain power, I imagine that would be all sorts of headaches for
[2771.5s] you and your Zaz Tam.
[2774.4s] You are correct.
[2776.3s] Rath Modar wishes to overthrow Zaz Tam,
[2781.8s] to return Thay to what might have been a, in his words, more prosperous time.
[2790.7s] But know that there is no other prosperous time than under our eternal master, Zaz Tam.
[2799.6s] Rath Modar must fall.
[2803.1s] Then yeah, I don't see a problem with us having the help of an undead army.
[2811.2s] Is your one question for you, Tharchin Asseldry, yes?
[2816.5s] Zaz Tam, is he good on his word?
[2822.6s] The word of Zaz Tam is worth every life in Thay.
[2829.7s] Okay, good to know.
[2831.1s] Then how about the undead lives in Thay?
[2834.3s] She does not regard your statement.
[2838.3s] She won't stoop to your level, Amy.
[2840.1s] Whatever, I just don't want to be held accountable for,
[2843.7s] and I guess I'm saying this out loud too in the game,
[2845.7s] I just don't want to be held accountable for, you know,
[2848.8s] helping with the defeat and the rise of Tiamat,
[2851.2s] and then also, though, bringing upon an army of undead to then, you know, it's like...
[2862.7s] I have worries.
[2864.8s] There is much to consider, Flint Firebeard.
[2868.9s] We'll take it under consideration, certainly.
[2871.5s] If there is nothing else, I shall ask you to return to your rooms,
[2878.3s] and we will discuss matters to find our most effective capabilities
[2885.6s] in this fight of yours and ours.
[2890.4s] She stands up and the red wizards all around her stand up,
[2893.5s] and unless anybody has anything else to say, she begins to walk out.
[2901.4s] Everybody make a charisma persuasion check.
[2908.3s] Ah, charisma.
[2910.9s] Classic charisma.
[2913.6s] I got a 14.
[2915.1s] 11.
[2915.5s] 16.
[2916.7s] She walks out, followed by the wizards and the whites,
[2920.5s] and Nye Ilmich walks up to you and says,
[2923.1s] I will escort you back to your chambers.
[2926.1s] Give us the straight goods here, Nye Ilmich.
[2928.7s] How did that go for us?
[2932.3s] On a scale from 1 to 10.
[2935.4s] There is much deliberation that Tharchinus Eldrieith will go through.
[2943.3s] She takes all things into account.
[2945.9s] She has knowledge of much of the battle thus far,
[2951.9s] and she will take all things said into account and make a decision by morning.
[2958.7s] Okay, so not as bad as it seemed.
[2961.4s] Will I die in my sleep tonight?
[2963.1s] Just a question.
[2964.2s] You are safe while you are here.
[2968.0s] She leads you to your rooms where the doors are open,
[2972.7s] and inside on the table where the spread was laid,
[2976.7s] there's a new, very rich dinner left for you,
[2982.1s] and says, I will return in the morning to let you know
[2988.1s] what is to come of our alliance in this battle,
[2992.2s] and she begins to walk away.
[2995.5s] As she walks away, I say, thank you.
[2997.4s] So I'm going to turn to my friends and I'm going to say,
[3001.9s] okay, I got an offer on the table from Zaz Tam to get Bort out of my head,
[3012.5s] and I'm not really sure of the finer details.
[3015.7s] I need a little more clarification because it sounds like he wants me to join his army
[3019.2s] if he helps me out, but I don't know if that's like an immediate thing
[3023.5s] or if that can be a sign up later after we finish the Tiamat stuff.
[3028.3s] What should I do?
[3029.0s] Should I take the offer or?
[3031.4s] Okay, well, hold on a second.
[3032.9s] So he wants you to join their army, his army?
[3037.5s] It wasn't very clear to me.
[3039.9s] I think so.
[3040.8s] And for how long?
[3042.7s] It's a good question.
[3043.5s] I'm not really sure.
[3044.7s] Okay, well, I think, you know, maybe getting some extra details might be good.
[3048.8s] What happens if you leave Bort in there?
[3051.5s] One of you disappears entirely?
[3054.0s] Eventually, yep.
[3055.6s] Do we know which one?
[3057.1s] I can't guarantee, I don't think.
[3060.2s] Roll a d20 there, Tom.
[3065.5s] I'm not wearing any underwear.
[3074.7s] Music in today's episode was by Kavin MacLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io.
[3088.7s] Even less than that as of when this is released.
[3093.1s] Okay, well then it's still accurate.
[3094.3s] Yeah, whatever.
[3096.2s] It is less than two months.
[3098.0s] Well, I mean, technically, Amy, if you're talking about right now,
[3100.3s] it's more than two months away.
[3102.0s] Exactly.
[3102.6s] But I was assuming that you were talking about when it was being released.
[3105.4s] I also thought you were like, yeah, I was accounting for that.
[3110.1s] Yeah, you were.
[3111.0s] You nailed it.
[3112.0s] I just fucked shit up.
[3113.7s] All right, you're the one that has to edit it.
[3115.4s] Yeah, it's true.
[3118.9s] Let's have some less more magic on it.
[3120.6s] And it never happened.
[3121.7s] Exactly.
[3122.5s] When Thorchen Esseldra yet, yet.
[3128.3s] Thorchen Esseldra.
[3130.5s] There's a lot of ss.
[3134.3s] She opens the door.
[3137.9s] And you see.
[3143.3s] The page.
[3143.8s] Something spooky.
[3148.7s] Russ, would you say that Amber is the color of her energy?
[3153.0s] Sure, yeah.
[3157.9s] Oh, thanks, Carla.
[3162.7s] I thought Russell's going to do it.
[3163.9s] I was trying to wait.
[3165.8s] Missed it.
[3167.3s] It's a 311 song.
[3169.1s] That dope 311 track that the haggis that guy like deaf listens to.
[3174.9s] More teasing for the haggis that guy.
[3176.6s] I love it.
[3178.3s] On a build up.
[3178.9s] The story better be good.
[3180.9s] It's pretty good.
[3183.4s] There was a quiz.
[3187.1s] It was not revered for a quiz.
[3189.3s] I feel like, yeah, you just got back from spring break
[3191.8s] and the teacher drops a fucking test on you.
[3194.3s] Right.
[3194.9s] And there's a quick like I really need to like
[3197.7s] enter all of my notes into like a word document
[3200.7s] so I can search for keywords.
[3202.3s] Control F.
[3203.6s] Exactly.
[3204.3s] Because like, I'm deaf have that in my notes.
[3208.7s] Are we not living up to our end of things?
[3211.4s] No, it's fine.
[3212.2s] It's good.
[3212.7s] It's perfect.
[3213.4s] All this awkward pauses is exactly what I wanted.
[3220.7s] Lucky.
[3222.3s] You guys like, damn it.
[3223.5s] Why can't I get that question?
[3225.5s] Who the fuck's Rath Modar?
[3228.2s] I don't know.
[3229.0s] Russ made it up.
[3230.0s] I think it's a Star Wars character that he dropped in.
[3233.5s] George Lucas's rejected Star Wars character names.
[3239.9s] No, that's fine.
[3242.3s] You just give up on your own notes because you couldn't read that.
[3246.8s] People are asking for this shit in Patreon.
[3248.6s] I don't know why.
[3249.7s] Guys, don't pay for that.
[3251.3s] It's not that Russ can't read it.
[3253.0s] It's that we're not giving him anything to work with.
[3255.8s] I totally had the answer to that one.
[3257.6s] You did.
[3258.2s] Yeah, but he wasn't expecting that.
[3260.1s] No, it's good.
[3262.9s] And Rath Modar must fall.
