[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.2s] I wish I could use that pen.
[4.7s] Donnie.
[5.4s] I don't think they're going to be able to respond to you right now.
[9.2s] What's the deal here?
[10.9s] There would be more order in a regime brought up with yourself and me.
[18.7s] So you're looking for like a minion?
[23.3s] No, a partner.
[24.8s] You turn around and you see a skeletal figure.
[29.4s] Who the fuck is that?
[30.6s] Nergoth Bladeloord.
[32.0s] And what's his deal?
[33.7s] He's one of the originals.
[34.9s] Oh, an OG.
[35.8s] That's what they call him.
[36.8s] Original Greg.
[37.8s] Your hit point maximum is reduced by 20.
[42.0s] No.
[42.9s] Through your backswing, you see coming down the hall towards you a horde of zombies.
[49.4s] Am I able to grab that finger bone and break it in half?
[52.6s] I like just completely put all my muscle into this last attack.
[57.4s] He just kind of crumples into nothingness.
[60.9s] You hear the rising groaning yells of the oncoming zombie horde.
[68.1s] From behind you, you hear calls from human creatures as they move in to fully surround you.
[78.9s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

[106.5s] I had nothing.
[108.4s] Like I had nothing quippy to say.
[110.2s] No.
[110.8s] Very subdued.
[112.7s] Okay.
[113.6s] Love this energy we're carrying in.
[115.1s] It's good to go into a battle.
[115.9s] It's very serious.
[117.3s] As we're like mid like it's the shit is hitting the proverbial fan right now.
[122.2s] Like it's happening.
[123.3s] So things aren't good.
[125.7s] They're not great.
[126.7s] Last I recall, zombie horde approaching, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
[132.2s] Just sweep that under the rug.
[133.6s] You don't have to worry about that.
[134.8s] They'll just, they'll just eat your brains.
[137.4s] Oh, was that a problem?
[138.4s] Yeah, that's fine.
[139.4s] Okay.
[139.7s] It's fine, right?
[140.6s] Where people won't eat your brains is over on Patreon.
[143.0s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[145.2s] We can't guarantee that.
[147.4s] Touche.
[148.0s] It hasn't happened yet.
[149.4s] Yeah.
[150.1s] So far, so good.
[152.6s] We can just say that the track record of non-brain eating has been high.
[156.6s] We are brain free over in Patreon.
[159.1s] Okay.
[160.6s] Is that what you mean to say?
[163.4s] I mean, we're brain free as for our patrons are intelligent, attractive, wonderful people.
[170.2s] Just the best.
[171.9s] The best.
[172.5s] The best kind of people.
[173.7s] And when you are a patron, you get an episode dedicated to you.
[177.0s] Today's patron, and I'm sorry if I mispronounce your last name, Craig Zeiss.
[183.6s] Thanks, Craig.
[184.7s] Oh my gosh.
[185.8s] That's a fun last name.
[186.8s] That is such a fun last name.
[188.5s] There's a Z, a Y, and another Z in it.
[192.6s] And it's only four letters long.
[194.6s] I think that's fantastic.
[196.0s] That is fun.
[197.3s] Amy is very easily impressed today.
[200.3s] My last name's Johnson.
[201.6s] It's like the most generic, boring last name there is.
[203.9s] So like Zeiss, amazing.
[206.2s] Yeah, that's pretty great.
[207.4s] More.
[207.8s] Ours is actually just an adjective or an adverb.
[213.3s] I'm more hungry.
[214.6s] Yeah.
[214.8s] How hungry are you?
[217.2s] More hungry than you.
[218.1s] Yeah, we're an adverb.
[219.5s] Yeah.
[220.2s] I know words.
[221.8s] Big deal.
[222.6s] So thank you, Craig, for not being an adverb.
[226.6s] And thank you, Patreon, for being all awesome.
[231.1s] That is, yeah, that you guys are all fantastic.
[233.8s] Unless anybody has anything else.
[236.1s] No, I just want to kill some zombies.
[238.0s] Well, fuck it.
[238.6s] Let's play D&D.
[244.7s] We see dragons tearing and chasing through the air.
[249.6s] Most of the airships have been downed.
[253.1s] Some in ally territory, others surrounded by screaming and fighting mobs,
[258.9s] being held back by magical shields,
[261.8s] dispelling undead and holding walls up to keep cult mercenaries
[265.8s] at bay.
[268.1s] We see one of those ships at the base of the well,
[272.2s] crashed and splintered apart as giants, mercenaries,
[276.8s] and devils close in on its position.
[280.2s] The deck is ablaze, and we see a few figures clamouring out of the wreckage.
[286.1s] One of those figures, Thaddeus Sicker Cremuffle,
[290.9s] who wearily climbs up to a vantage point and peers over,
[295.4s] seeing the oncoming attack.
[298.0s] He calls out,
[300.1s] anyone have any plans?
[304.6s] He sees panic set in among the several younger ship hands and soldiers.
[312.1s] He reaches into his bag and pulls out a slightly dented metal cylinder.
[318.3s] He cracks it open and peers inside.
[322.6s] Well, are you ready?
[325.4s] I hope so, just like we spoke about.
[330.8s] Thaddeus froze and releases the contents of the cylinder towards their attackers.
[339.9s] What looks like dust and dirt gets caught up in the air,
[344.9s] and one at a time, slowly at first, then faster,
[348.6s] thousands of grungs emerge full size,
[352.2s] weapons drawn and rush the oncoming cult of the dragon.
[357.6s] Climbing and leaping over giants who suddenly claw and strike out at their own allies.
[363.4s] Some begin screaming and running as they are touched,
[366.9s] rolling down the side of the mountain.
[369.2s] It is covered in a rainbow of grungs.
[374.4s] As we race and follow down the mountain, we see two cloaked figures
[379.1s] enter the tunnel behind where our heroes entered and fade into the shadows.
[384.8s] We hear the undead groans and yells from cultists
[388.5s] as they converge and surround the hallway where Flint, Thea, Nularaaaa, and Donnie stand.
[395.9s] Oh my god.
[397.5s] So good.
[398.9s] So good.
[399.6s] They came back.
[400.2s] I was actually concerned.
[401.8s] I was too, and then when he pulled out the metal tube, I got so excited.
[406.6s] Tingles.
[408.4s] Last we recall, Flint was at the tee of the hallways where you had come from,
[414.5s] staring down the horde of zombies having just killed Nergoth Bladeloord.
[420.2s] Thea, Nularaaaa, and Donnie were facing off against the four drakes who still remain.
[428.3s] Further down the hall in which you were headed,
[432.1s] you hear voices from cultists calling out.
[437.1s] I'll just say, narratively, you are at like a, you know, you're holding things off.
[445.0s] No need to immediately jump into an issue of horror.
[449.0s] Hey, Flint.
[449.8s] Good job.
[452.0s] Sure.
[452.3s] Thanks.
[453.0s] What do we do now?
[455.0s] Well, I think, Nularaaaa, you have these guys handled.
[457.7s] I think I'm halfway in between where Flint was because I remember running to him and
[461.9s] then Flint ended up killing him and me being like, oh,
[466.2s] cool, cool.
[466.9s] Yeah, don't worry about it.
[467.5s] Good job.
[468.0s] That's fine.
[469.3s] What do you see, Flint?
[471.9s] I don't know if it was the guy that we just fought or what, but there's a
[476.7s] horde of zombies coming our way.
[478.9s] Excuse me, what?
[481.3s] Yep.
[481.6s] There's a lot of them.
[483.0s] They're about 20 feet from the turn in the hallway.
[486.7s] Tari, have we decided, are they running zombies or shambling zombies?
[489.7s] Are they running or shambling?
[492.2s] They're not slow, but they're definitely not running.
[495.0s] I don't know what that means.
[496.1s] Um, they're lurching around pretty fast.
[500.4s] Puppy dog panicking right now.
[502.0s] Uh, guys, we've got three options.
[503.8s] Zombie horde don't know more drakes.
[506.6s] I'm still immune to damage, so I'll keep fighting these drakes.
[511.7s] So do we want to like push past?
[513.3s] I don't think like zombies are going to wait.
[516.1s] Like.
[516.7s] Fair.
[517.3s] Or do you guys just want to run?
[519.2s] Let's fucking run.
[519.9s] Towards the wards.
[520.6s] We could just book it.
[521.4s] The voices.
[522.6s] Voices.
[523.0s] What do you think?
[523.4s] I say voices.
[524.9s] Yep, I'm in.
[526.5s] I start wolf running.
[529.0s] You all begin to book it.
[530.7s] Lara, you make room for Flint, Thea, and Donnie to get by.
[536.3s] The drakes jump at you and are clawing at you.
[539.8s] Think I maybe have both swords out?
[542.5s] Because why not?
[544.0s] Sure.
[544.6s] Right?
[545.0s] Why not?
[545.4s] Flavor wise, I like it.
[546.8s] And they're like going behind me and I'm just like, you know, slashing out.
[553.0s] Just in case one of them like gets dumb enough to.
[555.6s] I don't know, walk into my sword.
[557.3s] Either of the swords.
[558.4s] Sure, yeah.
[559.6s] Reckless Nulara is like more fun.
[563.4s] Right?
[564.0s] You manage to, in your spinning and back handing swords and knives and stuff,
[570.6s] take out three of them.
[572.6s] The other one turns and sees the undead horde coming down the hall.
[577.4s] As you all look over your shoulders, you hear the groaning begin to echo down towards you.
[585.4s] The drake sees this and runs back down the hallway in which it came.
[591.5s] As you carry forward, you see coming around the corner
[596.1s] at the other end of the hallway, carrying torches and various weapons,
[600.0s] about eight to 10 members of the cult of the dragon that you are now charging towards.
[606.4s] Do they all appear like they're living?
[608.4s] They appear living.
[609.5s] So most of them are talking, barking orders at each other,
[612.2s] prepping for possible collision.
[615.5s] As you are running towards, you see them finally come around the corner,
[618.9s] putting faces to voices.
[621.3s] How far into this like next section are they?
[624.5s] And how far behind us is the zombie horde?
[627.5s] You kind of round a bend, so you see them disappear.
[630.8s] They're about 60 feet ahead of you,
[634.4s] at which the hallway that you are running down keeps going,
[637.8s] but also is an intersect.
[640.5s] The zombie horde behind you is about 100 to 120 feet behind you,
[648.3s] shambling, so they're not moving as fast as you are.
[651.0s] But they've essentially cut off that direction.
[655.9s] So there's no turning around and choosing the other hallway is what you're saying.
[660.7s] There still is the drake hallway that they have not got to yet.
[665.4s] Can I roll?
[669.4s] Yeah, I'm thinking an intimidation roll.
[672.4s] And I'd like to pretend like we have the horde of zombies working with us.
[677.3s] And I want to like threaten the group that we're running towards,
[679.9s] that they better get the fuck out of our way,
[681.8s] or our horde of zombies is going to be here momentarily.
[684.8s] I like it.
[685.5s] I like it.
[686.1s] Sure.
[687.3s] Yeah, so line of sight, they probably can't see the horde of zombies,
[690.9s] if you're hoping to use that as leverage.
[693.3s] Oh, I'm going to tell them that it's coming.
[696.1s] And then when it shows up, hopefully they will be like,
[699.4s] oh, my God, he wasn't lying.
[701.0s] And they fucking get the fuck out of there.
[703.4s] Cool.
[703.8s] Going to need two things.
[704.8s] Going to need exactly like narrate for me what it is.
[709.2s] You'll roll and I'll tell you how they respond.
[712.0s] OK, so I kind of look at Nulara and and Thea and I say,
[718.7s] guys, we need to keep them busy till our horde of zombies is here to help us.
[723.3s] And I like I yell it real loud.
[727.6s] All right, that is a with my bonus.
[730.3s] Twenty eight.
[732.4s] Yeah, they stop dead in their tracks and you hear them kind of mumbling quickly
[738.6s] and they turn and look the way they were going and kind of way there.
[745.0s] They're like, I don't know.
[747.2s] Should we foot?
[748.6s] They stop and listen for a second.
[751.0s] You guys are closing in distance now,
[753.5s] and they some of them start running back down the hallway, which you are going.
[758.8s] A couple of them are just standing still.
[760.6s] They don't know what to do.
[761.5s] They've kind of panicked at this moment.
[764.0s] Can we just like push on by them?
[766.6s] Sure.
[768.1s] I growl at them.
[769.8s] Sure.
[770.2s] You're just kind of pressing by not moving to attack anything.
[773.2s] Just I mean, if they were just kind of stunned into silence,
[776.6s] I'm happy to just run past them.
[778.4s] You four pile through them, knocking them to the side.
[782.6s] Everybody make a perception roll as you do this.
[785.0s] And as you.
[787.8s] Twenty one.
[789.4s] Fifteen.
[790.3s] Twenty four.
[792.2s] As you pile through them.
[794.2s] Thea, you kind of look over your shoulder.
[798.1s] You see that the undead army is coming in behind you.
[802.9s] But you also see a bright light following in behind them,
[807.3s] like a massively bright light following in behind them.
[810.9s] Nularaaaa, you turn to see the eyes of a dragon looking right at you
[816.2s] as you are running straight past this hallway.
[819.8s] Guys, there's something bright back there.
[822.6s] Guys, I think there's a dragon in that room.
[824.9s] Like, I think I just saw glowing dragon eyes.
[828.5s] That makes sense.
[830.1s] Do you keep running while this is happening?
[831.6s] Yeah, I think we're like scream conversationing.
[834.3s] It wasn't it wasn't a five headed dragon,
[836.5s] so not the one we're after this time.
[841.7s] Quibi.
[842.6s] You continue to run and as you clear the hallway,
[847.6s] lightning comes down the hallway and strikes the remaining cultists
[852.6s] that you ran past.
[854.5s] I scream, holy shit, and I run more.
[858.1s] Looking back, as that happens, you see a ball of flame ignite the undead.
[864.5s] Most of them have dropped, but some of them are on fire
[867.0s] and they turn to face where the flames came from
[871.3s] and another one lights them up.
[874.1s] Well, on the plus side, we are down some enemies.
[879.0s] On the downside, we might, you know.
[882.2s] Do you think that's someone helping us
[884.0s] or do you think it's just a happy coincidence?
[886.0s] I think we shouldn't ask any questions.
[887.4s] Let's keep going.
[889.2s] Agreed.
[889.8s] I mean, they're helping us right now, so I'm into it,
[892.3s] but let's go try and stop the ritual if we can get there.
[896.2s] Sounds good.
[896.7s] If somebody got our back, dope.
[899.8s] You know how Nularaaa always says dope?
[901.6s] Dope.
[901.9s] Yeah, always.
[903.0s] The hallway begins to snake around a corner
[905.8s] and you have two cultists ahead of you trying to run away from you.
[911.4s] You turn and look back and you see the scales of a brass dragon
[915.8s] continue past the hallway, chasing down
[919.0s] more of the cultists that were coming down towards you.
[922.7s] Brass dragons are our friends.
[924.2s] That is dope.
[929.0s] So you are currently in pursuit of two cult members
[932.2s] who are continuing to run away from you.
[935.4s] Hey, we're all running in the same direction.
[938.5s] Yeah, everybody make a dexterity check.
[944.6s] Say 20.
[946.2s] It's a 19.
[949.2s] It's a 10.
[951.3s] Thea and Flint, you manage to close ground on the two cultists
[957.8s] who turn and see you and see that you don't have an undead army
[963.8s] behind you anymore and turn to fight you.
[968.1s] And they call out,
[969.6s] hope you got all those undead armies behind you
[972.1s] because it's going to be a real rough.
[975.4s] That doesn't even make sense.
[977.9s] Roll for initiative.
[979.4s] Is what the DM says and not the person.
[985.0s] Now I stumble up wheezing at this point.
[987.4s] Yeah, no, you were there, but they kind of zipped ahead of you.
[993.8s] Guys, just I need like two minutes.
[1000.3s] 22.
[1001.9s] 14.
[1003.0s] We're going to call one of them Dirk and Flounder.
[1007.5s] Oh, I feel like Flounder's going down first, and I don't know why.
[1012.1s] You don't know that.
[1013.8s] Flounder might have all the fights.
[1018.6s] That's not how you say that.
[1020.6s] That doesn't even mean anything.
[1022.4s] Nularaaaa, you're up first.
[1024.5s] Uh, great.
[1027.7s] Are they both just human dudes?
[1030.3s] They both appear to just be human dudes.
[1033.8s] Both also look as if they are.
[1036.6s] They're both brandishing short swords,
[1038.6s] but both appear to be reaching into a satchel as well as they turn to face you.
[1044.4s] Fucking satchels and their dumb magic ingredients.
[1048.0s] Okay, I guess I will just attack the one that is closest to me with Dragon Slayer.
[1054.2s] We're going to say that's Dirk.
[1056.2s] Okay, so that is a 15.
[1059.6s] 15?
[1060.5s] 15 does not hit.
[1062.6s] Son of a bitch.
[1064.0s] Let me try again.
[1065.0s] We know that 15 doesn't work now.
[1067.4s] How about 20?
[1071.2s] Not a crit.
[1072.0s] Yeah, 20 will hit.
[1073.8s] Great.
[1075.0s] 20 hits most things.
[1076.6s] Yeah, I'd be scared if it did.
[1080.3s] I mean, more scared?
[1082.0s] 20 damage.
[1083.5s] So you run and I'd assume take like a flying jump past your friends
[1089.3s] and strike into the first cultist who is otherwise known as Dirk to our,
[1097.8s] he has a name tag.
[1099.8s] So I'm new here.
[1100.6s] Dirk.
[1101.0s] There's so many new people, right?
[1102.3s] Yeah, they all look the same with their robes and their chain.
[1106.5s] They've got to have something that separates them.
[1109.0s] Yeah, that makes sense.
[1109.4s] Cool.
[1109.8s] Then Donny is going to try and recharge his, oh, and he does.
[1114.8s] He rolled a five, so he's recharged his fire breath.
[1119.2s] So if I can try and get both of them, that'd be great.
[1121.6s] If not, just the one is fine also.
[1124.7s] Yeah, yeah, like you're the, so he's kind of coming in behind.
[1129.9s] So beside me, I guess.
[1132.3s] Yeah, sure.
[1133.3s] Yeah.
[1135.1s] Yep.
[1136.4s] Sorry, Dex save.
[1137.7s] Dex save, yeah.
[1138.7s] Nine and a 12.
[1141.0s] Okay, well, those are both going to fail.
[1143.9s] I only have out three D10s for some reason because I'm a bing bong.
[1148.8s] Classic bing bong move.
[1152.9s] That's 18 fire damage.
[1157.1s] So Dirk is first in that line and his clothes alight as he kind of tries to shield himself.
[1165.0s] Flounder kind of looks like he's, he doesn't look like he likes it,
[1171.0s] but he's looking like he's taking it okay.
[1175.0s] Okay.
[1175.8s] Is that all you've got?
[1177.6s] Rude.
[1178.7s] Then he will try and bite Flounder, like the one that was less affected.
[1182.5s] Sure.
[1183.0s] Okay, that is a 21.
[1186.0s] Donnie stepping up.
[1187.4s] You got it.
[1188.0s] And that is 12 piercing damage.
[1191.8s] As he's like, bring it, he brings it.
[1195.9s] Donnie decides to, in fact, bring it.
[1198.2s] He takes him at his word and he takes a big, big old chomp out of that attack.
[1205.4s] It is Dirk's turn.
[1207.7s] Dirk pulls out of his bag a glowing green orb.
[1213.0s] He begins to throw it at you.
[1217.0s] 17.
[1219.1s] At me?
[1220.0s] Yeah.
[1220.6s] Yeah.
[1221.4s] You are struck by this orb and it explodes at you.
[1227.4s] 27 poison damage.
[1229.7s] Son of a bitch.
[1231.1s] Rude.
[1231.6s] Rude.
[1233.3s] Thank God I have this armor on, because otherwise I would have been dead like three fights ago.
[1239.4s] Flint.
[1240.1s] You are up next.
[1241.7s] Flounder within reach?
[1244.1s] Flounder, yeah.
[1245.1s] He would be within range of you, yeah.
[1247.4s] I'll go kick his ass for a while.
[1249.3s] Don't even worry about it.
[1252.5s] I'm assuming my moist tongue longsword is still moist?
[1255.9s] Yeah, yeah, it's still moist.
[1257.9s] That's a 27.
[1259.2s] Yeah, yeah, that hits.
[1262.6s] 23 damage.
[1265.1s] And it's all wet.
[1267.0s] He takes a big old...
[1271.5s] Careful now.
[1272.1s] A big what?
[1273.9s] A big old sloppy hit from your moist tongue's longsword.
[1279.1s] I thought you were gonna...
[1280.0s] Yep, all right, we're just gonna move along.
[1283.1s] Second attack.
[1285.0s] Can't wait till I get to these episodes and have to do the sound effects for these ones.
[1290.0s] That is a 19 that time.
[1292.3s] Still hits, yeah.
[1294.6s] 24 damage that time.
[1297.5s] Yeah, he screams out in pain as you strike into him again, and he's like, why am I wet?
[1304.1s] Good question, asshole.
[1305.5s] Third attack.
[1309.2s] It's a 24.
[1311.7s] 19 damage that time.
[1314.7s] And how's he looking, Russell?
[1317.7s] He's looking confused as to why this weapon has made him this way.
[1325.8s] Both quite seriously injured and moist.
[1330.8s] Okay, perfect.
[1331.7s] I'm gonna action surge and hit him one more time.
[1333.9s] Okay.
[1336.0s] You're giving him a real licking.
[1337.9s] It's a nat 20.
[1341.4s] Yeah, give it to him.
[1342.4s] So we're just gonna double everything.
[1344.8s] Hang on here.
[1347.5s] God, give it to him.
[1349.1s] We're doubling things.
[1351.4s] That's right.
[1353.0s] That's right.
[1353.4s] Flink can go more than once.
[1354.7s] Thank you very much.
[1356.1s] If you're stabbing him twice, is it double penetration?
[1360.6s] I mean, I would have to assume so.
[1361.7s] You stabbed him four times at this point, so.
[1365.2s] Yeah, but this is like double damage.
[1367.6s] Yep.
[1368.6s] So the first one, I think I said 26.
[1370.6s] I already lost track of it for the first one.
[1373.1s] Second one is 17, 22, 23.
[1375.9s] So all said and done, 49 points of damage.
[1379.0s] Tell me how you decimate Flounder.
[1383.2s] Yeah, after seeing the initial confusion on his face as to why he was wet all of a sudden,
[1390.0s] I used that slight opening to absolutely just run him through.
[1396.3s] Like just from tip to hilt all the way to the balls.
[1400.8s] I would assume the sword has balls because thank you.
[1407.4s] Yeah, absolutely.
[1410.3s] He he he long ago forgot what he was trying to do in this.
[1415.3s] Wondering why in his in his in his eyes, you see the question why he stopped to turn to fight.
[1422.8s] And then you see the recollection as to it was Dirk who who started the fight
[1429.6s] looks over to his buddy and then dies.
[1432.9s] Et tu, Dirk?
[1440.0s] Well, hello there.
[1441.3s] Welcome to the middle of the episode.
[1443.4s] Thank you for joining us for episode 79 of Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[1447.5s] A time to run.
[1451.0s] Remember that one?
[1452.0s] Yeah, it's very like a very difficult title.
[1455.9s] It's not usually a move that we do too often.
[1458.7s] I know we should maybe consider more.
[1461.5s] It's it's a whole, you know, character growth thing,
[1465.5s] I think is what we're going for in this episode.
[1468.3s] Perfect. Here's my time to shine.
[1470.3s] Okay, great.
[1471.1s] Kidding. It's not my time to shine, but I forgot to tell you guys.
[1473.9s] So I listened to a lot of podcasts.
[1476.0s] That's not what I forgot to tell you, but I listened to a ton of podcasts.
[1479.1s] And the other day, my phone was like, nope.
[1483.9s] And everything was gone.
[1485.9s] No!
[1487.1s] And when I went, like it just like,
[1490.5s] this happens all the time with not the podcast app.
[1493.5s] Like it just like disappears and then you have to reload it.
[1496.4s] So I did that and I went back and there was nothing in it.
[1499.0s] Like no shows, nothing.
[1500.7s] Like it was like I had just opened the podcast app for the first time.
[1504.3s] Oh my God.
[1504.9s] And I was like, oh God.
[1507.7s] So then it was like, we're going to rebuild your library.
[1512.9s] Okay. And I'm like, okay, that'd be great.
[1514.8s] Oh, yes, please.
[1515.7s] Thank you.
[1516.4s] So it loads like six shows and like an episode of each.
[1522.6s] And I don't know about you guys, but I have like 30 podcasts that I have.
[1527.2s] Like, even if I don't actively have downloaded episodes,
[1530.3s] I like will download one and then keep it on my shows so that I remember like,
[1535.3s] oh, I like this one.
[1536.4s] I'm going to download more when I have time.
[1538.5s] So you can pop in and like see who's on it.
[1540.5s] Yes, exactly.
[1542.4s] Um, so that was the worst because of course,
[1545.3s] there are like five shows that I for sure know that I listened to.
[1550.5s] And then I was like, I don't even know.
[1552.4s] I have a terrible memory.
[1553.5s] Like it's all gone.
[1555.0s] I don't remember what I listened to.
[1556.8s] I don't remember what to do.
[1558.7s] I remember what to do, but.
[1560.8s] This is your podcast within a podcast.
[1562.7s] Carla's phone does stupid shit.
[1564.2s] Yeah.
[1564.5s] Or like my podcast within a podcast.
[1567.0s] Carla sure likes podcasts.
[1569.5s] Are any podcasts?
[1571.7s] I'm done.
[1572.2s] That was my story.
[1573.7s] And if you like podcasts, maybe you consider specifically our podcast,
[1578.2s] not just any podcast, but our podcast.
[1581.1s] Consider visiting Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast
[1584.6s] where we have just revamped all of our goals.
[1588.0s] Did we do it or did you do it?
[1589.8s] I gave you guys some input in that.
[1591.5s] I told you what I did.
[1592.7s] Yeah, that's wonderful.
[1595.5s] Bang up job, honey.
[1597.3s] So the goal we're working towards now,
[1599.7s] we're going to be streaming a one shot
[1601.5s] where we play that Carly Rae Jepsen thing.
[1604.4s] That looks so fun.
[1605.5s] What is it?
[1606.1s] It's like Boy Problems or something.
[1609.0s] It's called Boy Problems.
[1610.5s] It's like a heist themed adventure
[1614.7s] where she gets her songs stolen
[1616.4s] and the adventures have to get them back.
[1619.3s] So we're going to do that when we hit our next goal.
[1622.3s] But also there's a goal after that
[1623.9s] where we're going to do a Flame McKin's backstory episode
[1627.3s] because everybody's been asking for that.
[1629.6s] It's going to be so awesome.
[1631.0s] And then if you keep going up a little bit more,
[1633.4s] there's a goal where we're going to play an Austin Powers themed episode.
[1637.1s] And how are we going to do that?
[1638.7s] Well, we're going to make it all up.
[1641.3s] So that will be like total original content
[1645.9s] that no one asked for.
[1648.7s] No one asked for this,
[1649.8s] but they're going to get the brainchild of the four of us.
[1652.4s] It's going to be horrific, you guys.
[1653.8s] It's going to be so good.
[1654.6s] Let's get there.
[1656.3s] It doesn't matter how it might take us 10 years to get to that goal,
[1660.1s] but we're going to watch Austin Powers,
[1662.0s] all three of them, once a week until then.
[1664.0s] I did not agree to this.
[1666.0s] No, it's in the fine print.
[1668.1s] That seems like a promise I don't think we can keep.
[1670.8s] Anyways, Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[1673.1s] Lots of new great goals up there to give you more content,
[1675.9s] lots of great stuff to get to you.
[1678.0s] Extra bonus stuff for supporting us
[1681.1s] because thank you.
[1683.3s] And if you're unable to join us on Patreon,
[1685.1s] which sometimes that happens and that's totally okay.
[1687.3s] We get it.
[1688.3s] But you still want to help out the show.
[1690.5s] We invite you to write a review and rating for us
[1694.3s] like some of these lovely people right here.
[1696.7s] This one is from Grarock via Apple Podcasts from the U.S.
[1703.9s] And they say, love it.
[1705.6s] Okay, first and foremost,
[1706.7s] I came upon you guys by complete accident,
[1708.9s] but it was a happy accident like Bob Ross and his happy little trees.
[1712.8s] I listen to you guys at work all the time
[1714.7s] and just love each and every one of the characters
[1716.9s] and personalities you bring to the table.
[1719.2s] I have had to stop myself from trying to chime in
[1722.0s] and be like, oh, hey, guys, remember you have so and so,
[1725.7s] which would have probably been very helpful.
[1727.2s] Meet him on like an inner ear thing.
[1728.7s] Yeah, that would be great.
[1730.3s] But I remember I'm at work and may look like a loony.
[1733.6s] Anywho, you guys are awesome
[1735.4s] and I love hearing about the adventures of Flinthia and Nulara.
[1738.7s] Keep it up, guys. Sincerely, Grarock.
[1742.1s] And then in brackets, he says, that's my actual last name.
[1745.5s] That's a fun last name.
[1746.7s] Oh, okay.
[1747.6s] It is extremely difficult to say, you guys.
[1750.4s] Grarock.
[1751.7s] Grarock.
[1753.1s] Grarock.
[1753.9s] Grarock.
[1754.6s] If we're saying that wrong, please let us know.
[1757.4s] There's not even a word anymore.
[1758.7s] Let us know.
[1759.9s] We mess up names all the time.
[1761.2s] We mess up names within our own show all the time.
[1763.3s] This is true.
[1764.3s] Jumjins and dragons.
[1766.2s] I have one from Podchaser.
[1768.7s] Lucky Bridget says, five stars, a hilarious adventure
[1771.6s] that has me grinning from ear to ear every time I listen.
[1775.6s] That's so nice.
[1776.7s] Thank you so much, Bridget.
[1778.6s] I also grabbed one from Podchaser
[1781.5s] and this one's from David Osteel.
[1784.3s] He gave us five stars, says,
[1785.9s] great friendly group of companions
[1787.5s] adventuring their way on the table.
[1789.5s] Feel free to jump in and get lost in the story.
[1791.9s] Thanks, David Osteel.
[1792.8s] God knows we are.
[1794.8s] Every time.
[1795.4s] Lost, so lost.
[1796.3s] Every time, so lost.
[1797.5s] Like a maze.
[1798.7s] Every episode is a maze.
[1800.3s] But thank you so much, everybody,
[1801.5s] for writing reviews.
[1802.3s] And if you write a review,
[1803.5s] we will read it right here.
[1804.7s] And thank you for being awesome
[1806.6s] because that's what we do.
[1808.3s] Links for those couple things
[1810.3s] that we mentioned today
[1811.6s] will be in the description.
[1813.3s] I didn't mention a lot.
[1814.4s] Usually I say everything,
[1815.6s] but now it's just a couple of things.
[1817.2s] Including where you can find us on Discord
[1820.0s] and the Reckless Play Guild Facebook group
[1822.0s] where we've joined up with some amazing podcasts.
[1824.3s] The End of Time and Other Bothers,
[1825.7s] Dark Dice, and the Lucky Die.
[1827.9s] And this Friday,
[1830.3s] I interviewed him from the Lucky Die.
[1833.1s] And that interview,
[1834.5s] type B interview,
[1835.7s] is coming out to the Facebook group.
[1837.2s] So come join us over there
[1838.4s] and find out some great things
[1839.5s] about him and her podcast.
[1841.2s] Awesome.
[1841.5s] I've really enjoyed reading all of them so far.
[1843.7s] Yeah, I like the, like,
[1844.9s] switch-em-up style.
[1845.9s] We've interviewed all the DMs
[1847.5s] and players are coming up next.
[1849.9s] So you get to find out about all of us.
[1852.3s] Final thanks to Sirenscape
[1853.4s] for some of the amazing atmosphere
[1854.9s] used in today's episode.
[1855.9s] Make sure you check them out
[1856.7s] at sirenscape.com to bring your games to life.
[1859.9s] And the next episode,
[1860.9s] it'll be out Wednesday, April 10th.
[1863.7s] So let's get back to this one
[1864.9s] and see if they're still running.
[1866.5s] I can't remember where we cut.
[1869.2s] Maybe they are.
[1869.9s] Maybe they aren't.
[1870.9s] Have a great week.
[1871.9s] We'll talk to you soon.
[1877.9s] Sorry, you stabbed him with the sword
[1880.1s] balls deep?
[1881.5s] That's correct.
[1882.7s] Oh my god, somebody please fan art that.
[1886.3s] Whose turn is it?
[1887.2s] I don't even know.
[1887.9s] Are you done?
[1888.5s] I haven't done my turn yet.
[1890.0s] Do I get to go?
[1891.5s] Is there anything left?
[1892.4s] Well, it was Flounder's turn,
[1894.1s] but not anymore.
[1896.0s] Thea, you get to go.
[1900.0s] I'm going to see if I recharge my breath weapon.
[1904.7s] I do not.
[1906.0s] So I am going to bite at Dirk.
[1911.0s] A 20.
[1911.8s] Yeah, 20 hits.
[1913.4s] And as I run towards him,
[1915.4s] I say, take this, Dork, because.
[1918.3s] Oh, snap.
[1920.3s] Scathing.
[1921.3s] Yeah.
[1922.1s] And he says back,
[1923.3s] I feel like I'm in grade school all over again.
[1927.1s] This is why I joined the cult.
[1929.9s] So I could get away from these horrid names.
[1933.4s] 13 piercing damage.
[1937.3s] And you have to succeed
[1938.6s] on a strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
[1941.5s] 14.
[1943.3s] It is a 14, so.
[1945.1s] Dirk is not prone.
[1946.1s] He is pierced, but not prone.
[1948.6s] Question.
[1949.5s] Did I take guacamole out?
[1951.6s] Did you though?
[1952.4s] I think you did.
[1953.1s] I think I may have.
[1953.9s] I think you just forgot on the last one.
[1956.5s] Yeah, we just haven't been.
[1957.9s] Coming around the corner,
[1959.3s] following in behind the Brass Dragon.
[1965.5s] Insert owl noise here.
[1966.9s] And she swoops in and has a turn.
[1970.2s] I was wondering about that.
[1974.0s] Now that you mention it,
[1975.0s] I am 100% sure that you summoned guacamole.
[1978.0s] Yeah, I kind of remember wondering like,
[1980.0s] oh, hey, is there enough room for guacamole in these tunnels?
[1983.5s] And you're like, yeah, they're the tunnels are like 25 feet by whatever.
[1987.5s] And I'm like, oh, OK, that's how that conversation went.
[1990.3s] So nobody has to go back and listen.
[1991.7s] It's exactly how it went.
[1992.6s] That's just how it happened.
[1994.1s] So she is going to attack with her talons.
[1998.7s] She got lost in the dark caves.
[2000.2s] She did.
[2000.9s] And she's still a little bit confused.
[2002.7s] That's only a nine.
[2004.0s] She swoops in more spooks.
[2007.1s] Dirk.
[2007.6s] Yeah, as it now becomes around them.
[2009.7s] Yeah, feathers, feathers everywhere.
[2012.7s] As Nulara's turn comes back.
[2017.0s] Great, great.
[2018.7s] Carla's like, oh, I have to wake up now.
[2020.5s] It's been such a long time.
[2022.6s] It's a lot that happened.
[2024.0s] It's just because there's only two bad guys.
[2026.4s] Well, and now only one bad guy.
[2027.9s] Usually there's a lot more enemies that get turns in between there.
[2031.9s] OK, more sorting, I believe, is the verb.
[2036.3s] That is the one.
[2037.7s] It's a 19.
[2039.6s] Yes.
[2040.7s] 15 damage.
[2042.5s] In his confusion, he doesn't see your sword coming.
[2046.0s] See, guacamole helped.
[2047.9s] And let's out a cry.
[2049.7s] One more of those.
[2051.2s] That is a 16.
[2053.4s] 16 will hit.
[2054.5s] OK.
[2056.8s] 22 damage.
[2060.1s] He's bleeding from underneath his robes.
[2064.0s] Puddles.
[2064.6s] And no, not puddles.
[2065.9s] Puddles is a bad way to describe blood.
[2068.3s] Pools.
[2069.5s] Pools of blood begin form underneath him.
[2072.5s] Nulara puts on her wellies and starts splashing around.
[2076.3s] As he reaches for yet another orb.
[2078.2s] But Donnie gets a turn before he does anything with it.
[2081.5s] Donnie will try to recharge, which he does.
[2085.5s] Yeah, Donnie.
[2086.9s] Fire weapon.
[2087.9s] You need to do a DC save.
[2092.8s] Nope.
[2095.3s] That's a three.
[2098.0s] Guacamole really like knocked him off his game.
[2101.2s] Nobody expects a giant bird come flying at you.
[2104.7s] OK, so this is some big math.
[2110.2s] Oh, I like this.
[2111.8s] 15 plus 16 is 31.
[2115.7s] Damn, Donnie.
[2117.5s] Describe to me the scene as Dirk goes up in flames.
[2123.6s] I think Donnie pretty nonchAlydintly shoots the flame.
[2127.7s] But then after he does it, he spins.
[2130.3s] And him and guacamole kind of slap wings.
[2134.1s] Like Talon.
[2134.7s] Like a high five.
[2135.4s] Oh, slap wings.
[2137.9s] Because he's stoked.
[2138.9s] Kind of in like a twirl of flame.
[2140.7s] Yeah.
[2141.2s] Yeah, he's pretty stoked that his
[2144.7s] B-winged friend is there with him again now.
[2147.7s] As he screams and drops to his knees.
[2150.0s] The orb falls to the ground and rolls towards you.
[2153.5s] And the light goes out as the last dying breath of Dirk
[2158.8s] vacates his body.
[2161.4s] Take that, Dirk.
[2162.8s] You're standing in a corridor.
[2164.7s] You hear screams coming from down the hall
[2168.3s] from what sounds like a dragon devouring them.
[2173.2s] You have...
[2173.9s] Probably our dragon, so that's cool.
[2175.1s] Screams to the left me.
[2176.7s] Sounds to the right.
[2177.9s] Here I am.
[2180.6s] Before we do anything else,
[2182.1s] can I use my amlet of temporary health
[2185.5s] to give myself 20 HP for today?
[2189.9s] Yes.
[2190.1s] Great.
[2190.7s] Yes, you can.
[2191.9s] Good memory, Carla.
[2194.2s] Any other potions you want to just down
[2196.1s] while you're at it?
[2196.8s] We've got randos here.
[2198.8s] We have rando potions.
[2200.7s] Can I take a healing surge while we have a sec?
[2203.3s] Yeah, I mean, you know what?
[2204.7s] It's not a bad idea.
[2207.0s] I have a...
[2210.0s] Someone's got Andre's Gojuice.
[2212.7s] I have that.
[2213.4s] And I have Bee's Knees.
[2214.8s] You have Bee's Knees, so that means
[2215.9s] you've got glass jelly.
[2217.4s] Yeah, I also just have a health potion,
[2219.4s] which is probably...
[2221.2s] Potion of healing.
[2222.9s] Donnie's like, you know, remember those days
[2225.2s] when we used to loot bodies?
[2232.3s] I don't have hands, Donnie.
[2233.6s] I will loot Flounder's body.
[2236.9s] On his body, you find three more orbs.
[2240.1s] All dark?
[2240.9s] Yeah, because that's kind of canonically
[2243.1s] how I just did it.
[2245.7s] Just right now, these are useless.
[2247.2s] Why did you even loot this body?
[2249.1s] But you also find two other potions.
[2252.6s] Two other potions.
[2253.9s] Are they labeled?
[2254.4s] What do they look like?
[2255.2s] Red Glimering Liquids.
[2259.8s] Like my Life Essence potion?
[2261.1s] Is it similar to the Life Essence potion?
[2263.5s] It is similar.
[2265.9s] I don't like that.
[2266.8s] No.
[2267.1s] I don't like the way you said similar.
[2268.4s] It's very much the same.
[2270.7s] I'm like, someone should take these.
[2272.5s] I don't have hands.
[2274.5s] I'll give both of them to Nulara.
[2278.3s] I'm busy taking my own potion right now.
[2279.9s] That's why I'm not looting with you guys.
[2284.3s] Should I loot the other body, too, while I'm there?
[2286.2s] What I'm...
[2286.7s] I have available hands.
[2288.6s] What's left of it?
[2289.7s] Isn't it pretty charred?
[2291.0s] He is pretty charred, but his bag was to the side.
[2294.3s] Oh, for two it is.
[2296.1s] I go and I nudge my nose at his bag
[2297.9s] and pick it up with my teeth
[2299.2s] and kind of gently empty the contents.
[2301.1s] There is one more orb, also not lit.
[2305.2s] Two other potions, also a red Glimering liquid
[2310.1s] and a sketch of what looks to be the remains of...
[2314.6s] or was the living Dirk and his buddy Flounder.
[2321.5s] They stopped by the boardwalk
[2323.0s] before they came in a big fight.
[2325.3s] Are they both on skateboards?
[2326.9s] It is caricature-esque.
[2329.6s] That's fun.
[2330.9s] Yeah.
[2332.4s] I'm feeling much better after that fight.
[2335.0s] Well, not after that fight.
[2336.3s] After all that healing I just did.
[2338.3s] Perfect.
[2338.7s] I see someone come and take these ones as well.
[2341.7s] These ones here.
[2342.4s] I'm nudging and rolling them.
[2343.6s] Oh, God.
[2345.0s] I'll grab them all like a big old hoarder.
[2346.7s] You can throw them at us when we need them.
[2349.9s] So you have the direction in which you came,
[2351.9s] which you hear dragons and screaming and stuff,
[2355.1s] or the direction in which you run
[2356.6s] and which you can make a perception check
[2359.3s] to see if you hear anything new.
[2361.6s] Sure, why not?
[2362.5s] I would also like to perceive I have keen hearing.
[2365.9s] 14.
[2366.3s] I just rolled a 10.
[2367.5s] Does keen hearing give me an advantage?
[2369.5s] Sure.
[2370.0s] Okay.
[2371.5s] You're actively hearing.
[2373.5s] 17 is my perception.
[2376.3s] 26.
[2377.2s] The rumbles of the dracorn are the only thing you hear
[2380.8s] echoing down the chamber of which you are walking.
[2384.1s] I want to keep going towards where I know the
[2387.9s] direction is towards the chamber like based on what I do.
[2392.3s] The told direction.
[2393.5s] Yeah, Steppen's knowledge.
[2396.2s] Steppen.
[2396.7s] There it is.
[2397.6s] You begin walking down the chamber.
[2400.5s] I think we're probably like trotting right a jog.
[2403.4s] Things are time is of the essence here.
[2405.3s] Yeah, you are briskly walking with intent and purpose
[2410.9s] and you get to a T intersection.
[2412.9s] So you're left or right?
[2414.2s] What would Britney Spears do?
[2418.2s] She'd work, bitch.
[2419.2s] What would Britney Spears do?
[2421.1s] She'd work, bitch.
[2425.8s] She's at a crossroads.
[2431.2s] So you could ask Britney Spears,
[2432.9s] what would Tom Hanks do in Cast Away?
[2437.2s] Both at a physical and metaphorical crossroads.
[2440.5s] What a hilarious ending.
[2442.3s] I'm listening with my keen hearing and it's an 18.
[2447.9s] No, sorry, 17.
[2449.9s] Amid the dull drone of the Drakorn,
[2451.9s] you hear echoes of battle both ways.
[2457.5s] Cool. Flip for it.
[2461.9s] I need Moony.
[2466.3s] I just edited this one.
[2467.5s] I need Moony Mitzi.
[2471.9s] There was no Mitzi.
[2474.9s] I need Minie Minimo.
[2477.5s] Anyway, nobody cared to write it down.
[2480.6s] It was so good when it happened.
[2481.9s] It was really good.
[2482.5s] It was so organic.
[2483.7s] It just came so naturally.
[2485.6s] I think we just want to keep heading
[2487.7s] deeper towards the center of the compound.
[2491.6s] That would be a southern direction.
[2493.3s] Okay, let's go south.
[2495.6s] So that is a right turn.
[2497.3s] Okay, then a right.
[2499.1s] It's all right.
[2499.8s] You're going south and you carry on a ways
[2503.1s] and it appears to get darker.
[2507.5s] You keep going.
[2508.9s] You don't hear any distinct voices coming
[2511.8s] from the direction ahead of you.
[2513.7s] And you see at the end kind of splintered light
[2519.1s] coming in at the end of the tunnel.
[2525.1s] You keep going and you see that there's a way
[2529.5s] to crawl through some rubble of what looks
[2532.0s] like perhaps a cave in.
[2534.2s] Does it look like it's a lot of hassle
[2536.2s] to crawl through or can we shimmy through
[2538.1s] pretty easily?
[2539.5s] Can us giant creatures fit through?
[2541.9s] There's my question.
[2544.2s] You giant creature?
[2545.5s] I'm a giant winter wolf and I have a giant owl.
[2551.3s] We are large and Donnie is large as well.
[2553.5s] Donnie's pretty big too.
[2556.2s] Yeah, I mean, yes, you all can probably
[2560.4s] fit through.
[2560.9s] There will need to be some maneuvering
[2563.5s] of boulders.
[2565.1s] It might take a little time, but I mean,
[2568.7s] you don't know what's necessarily
[2570.3s] on the other side.
[2572.8s] But we know this is the way to get
[2574.3s] closer to the center.
[2576.3s] This is of the two directions
[2578.7s] that you just had.
[2579.9s] Yes.
[2580.3s] Well, this has like some light
[2582.2s] coming into it.
[2582.8s] Yeah.
[2583.3s] Yeah, I mean, we're underground.
[2584.7s] So if there's light coming through,
[2586.7s] there obviously is like some kind of chamber
[2590.5s] on the other side of this for light
[2592.8s] to be coming through, right?
[2594.7s] Makes sense.
[2597.8s] So I don't think there's electricity
[2600.2s] down here.
[2601.1s] Only candles and torches.
[2603.1s] That's really what the cult's
[2604.2s] been trying to do is invent electricity.
[2606.3s] They're trying to wire the whole place.
[2607.6s] They've got a big Tesla coil
[2609.0s] on the other side.
[2611.4s] I just think like, if someone took
[2613.7s] the time to have torches lit
[2614.9s] on the other side of this,
[2615.9s] it means there's something going on
[2617.1s] over there.
[2618.0s] Well, I mean, like magic can also
[2619.9s] be a source of light.
[2621.2s] But also like a giant fire pit
[2624.1s] that they're going to use
[2624.8s] to sacrifice people
[2625.9s] and thusly maybe bring forth a dragon.
[2628.7s] Let's dig.
[2630.5s] Okay.
[2631.2s] Let's move some boulders around.
[2633.3s] Everybody give me a strength check.
[2636.3s] There's more of a basis
[2637.6s] for how long it takes.
[2639.5s] It is a 17.
[2641.4s] 11.
[2643.0s] 7.
[2644.3s] A lot of the path is clear.
[2646.7s] It takes you a little while
[2647.9s] to clear some of the heavier boulders
[2649.4s] to allow for the giant creatures to pass.
[2652.6s] Lara and Flint, you would be able
[2654.0s] to pass through quite unhindered
[2657.4s] via you and your winter reform
[2658.9s] could probably clear through pretty quickly.
[2662.1s] But Guacamole and Donnie
[2664.7s] might have a little trouble.
[2665.9s] So you take some time just to make sure
[2667.6s] that nothing collapses back in on any of you.
[2671.6s] Who's leading the pack here?
[2673.8s] I am.
[2675.0s] Flint, as you and one other person
[2679.2s] Probably me.
[2679.9s] I'm like the next smallest person, right?
[2681.9s] Okay.
[2682.9s] Flint, as you and Nulara move the last boulder,
[2687.1s] you realize that the light source
[2690.0s] is coming from a monstrous building of sorts.
[2696.9s] A light shooting up into the sky.
[2701.6s] And you find yourself in a wrecked pit
[2707.3s] inside the caldera of the well of the dragon.
[2713.7s] Amid the wreckage and the rubble
[2716.3s] that you see before you,
[2718.7s] you see fragmented bones
[2720.7s] now that your eyes begin to adjust.
[2725.5s] And you look up and you see
[2729.0s] this mind-numbing structure.
[2731.5s] All of you begin to exit out into this.
[2734.3s] You see dragons soaring overhead.
[2738.9s] And it looks like it is tangled with bones and rock
[2744.6s] and is blasted up out of the volcano itself.
[2751.5s] The stone and bones look like they've been
[2754.8s] imbued with the dark magic of the nine hells.
[2759.1s] And what you can presume as the temple of Tiamat
[2763.1s] with all of its chaotic angles jutting out.
[2767.2s] Within that snarl of cornices and soaring angulation,
[2771.2s] you make out five asymmetric towers
[2775.6s] topped by twisted steeples.
[2779.8s] Screams and roars come from over the edges
[2783.4s] as another blare of the dracorn sounds.
[2787.1s] And you are looking at the temple of Tiamat.
[2793.1s] Some of the music in today's episode is by Kavin McLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io
[2813.1s] and Scott Buckley at scottbuckley.com.au.
[2817.0s] Sound effects can be found at boomlibrary.com
[2820.0s] and at sirenscape.com.
[2822.9s] We already did a little half recap there,
[2824.8s] but everybody's comfortable in their knowledge
[2826.6s] of what's happening at present around them.
[2829.4s] I think so.
[2830.5s] Murder, death, and chaos.
[2832.2s] Got it.
[2832.7s] Yes.
[2833.4s] Just a good summary.
[2834.4s] It's just a Tuesday.
[2836.3s] Right.
[2837.9s] You start running.
[2839.2s] So, Nularaaaa, you'll have to disengage.
[2843.3s] Not that it really matters because you're...
[2846.8s] Impervious and everything.
[2848.1s] Amazing.
[2849.2s] Donnie would have to disengage.
[2849.9s] You literally took half my HP with the one magic user.
[2854.0s] So don't act like I haven't gotten hurt.
[2857.5s] You hurt her many ways.
[2860.2s] Partially, emotionally.
[2861.4s] I didn't take half your HP.
[2863.2s] I took 20 of it and then the others you can get back at some point.
[2867.1s] Yes, yes.
[2867.9s] Fair, fair, fair.
[2869.2s] Because we want to keep going in the direction where Buddy told us.
[2874.2s] Yeah, where the sacrifice room was, right?
[2877.1s] That is an idea.
[2878.0s] Yep.
[2878.4s] Okay.
[2879.3s] Uh, you...
[2880.6s] Are we running in the right direction?
[2884.8s] I don't know.
[2885.2s] I only have the math in front of me.
[2889.1s] You know as much as you guys.
[2890.1s] Okay.
[2891.2s] I always feel like whenever we have to stop, Russ gets like bad ideas as to what to do to us.
[2897.4s] That gives me an extra second to think, which is maybe good.
[2901.0s] See? That's what I was talking about.
[2903.7s] They both appear...
[2905.3s] They...
[2907.6s] They both appear to just be human dudes.
[2910.6s] I like the Italian.
[2911.6s] They are both just to be...
[2916.8s] Nothing good ever comes with a glowing green orb.
[2919.4s] Never.
[2920.8s] No, no it doesn't.
[2922.6s] So is every fight I have to do it?
[2924.8s] Uh, no, sorry.
[2925.8s] It still is because you had said moist previously, but you haven't said it again.
[2930.4s] So no.
[2931.0s] Yeah, yeah, it's still moist.
[2932.7s] What I'm saying is you haven't turned it off, is what I'm saying.
[2935.5s] Okay, perfect.
[2936.0s] Yeah, that's what I was wondering.
[2937.3s] Moist.
[2938.0s] His sword's always turned on.
[2939.8s] It's always turned on.
[2940.7s] Always.
[2941.4s] Until he turns it off.
[2943.5s] Until he takes a real hard look at himself in the mirror.
[2949.6s] Because nothing's more of a sword boner killer.
[2953.6s] I...
[2954.4s] No, I'll just wait to do that.
[2956.2s] That's a good idea.
[2958.6s] Wait, until he throws the thing?
[2960.0s] Okay.
[2960.5s] I don't want to delay my turn until he has his action.
[2963.1s] Yeah, makes sense.
[2964.6s] The rumbles of the Drakorn are the only thing that catch your hear...
[2969.9s] Heard.
[2970.7s] Hears.
[2971.7s] Hears.
[2972.8s] Ha.
[2973.6s] Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Dumb Dragons production.
