[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[30.8s] Can you give us a demo?
[32.0s] So that we have something to practice off of?
[34.4s] Yeah.
[35.4s] Quack Quack, Quack Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack.
[40.3s] When all four of them begin going Quack, Quack, Quack.
[42.4s] OK, stop, stop!
[44.1s] What does the Rat King prefer to be called?
[48.0s] The Rat King.
[49.6s] So not like your warship or anything like that.
[51.8s] He just prefers Rat King.
[53.2s] You guys could probably step it up, but not.
[55.0s] There are so many other adjectives out there.
[56.2s] I'm going to try this smile business and see about expanding our reach and maybe creating
[66.7s] friendships at the same time.
[69.0s] Yeah, and you know what, if you want to extend your reach, they can help you with your business
[75.1s] venture as well.
[76.1s] I had no idea that these resources were available to someone such as I.
[79.9s] Oh, they are for everyone in the dock ward.
[104.4s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[106.3s] We're a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast and I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More and
[111.0s] if I try and make the same mouth movements as Amy, it throws me off.
[114.8s] You shouldn't be making my mouth movements, I'm making your mouth movements.
[120.7s] This is very strange.
[122.6s] With me today is Amy More.
[124.6s] Yes I am.
[126.0s] I play Sullivan Sleight, a lightfoot halfling rogue.
[132.4s] Tom was making fun of you there.
[134.0s] I wasn't even looking, I missed it.
[136.2s] Yep, watch the playback.
[138.7s] Also with me, Carla Max dead.

[179.9s] Thanks Jack.
[180.9s] Thanks Jack.
[181.9s] Thank you very much.
[183.2s] Thank you Jack.
[184.2s] I like how monosyllabic his name is.
[186.6s] It's very powerful.
[187.6s] Jack Green.
[188.6s] It's a very powerful name.
[190.8s] Don't you know who I am?
[192.1s] Jack Green.
[193.1s] Jack Green.
[194.1s] Oh yeah.
[195.9s] So that's a power name.
[197.8s] So you should pull that from the episode, Jack, and just use it as like your ringtone.
[201.4s] Don't you know who I am?
[203.1s] Jack Green.
[204.1s] Jack Green.
[205.1s] Yes please.
[206.1s] Maybe.
[207.1s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast so you can go check out all that sweet stuff
[211.2s] over there.
[212.2s] Please do.
[213.2s] We would love it.
[214.2s] Fuck it.
[215.2s] Let's play D&D.
[216.2s] The three of you, Moot, Glim and Sully, as we now know, are in Waterdeep.
[231.9s] And since the last time we saw you, there was a rather large ceremony that took place.
[238.5s] One dedicated to those that saved the realm.
[242.7s] The Decimators of Dragons, as well as all the many hundreds of thousands of men and
[247.9s] women across Faerun who fought against the Cult of the Dragon.
[254.6s] Now we're not going to go through the whole ceremony with you three there, but give me
[259.2s] a little sense of how you took this whole ceremony in.
[266.2s] It was just in like a big kind of village square, correct?
[270.6s] In the streets, kind of like a procession.
[273.8s] So the description that I gave is at the castle Waterdeep is where Lady Leral Silverhand
[284.9s] and Lord Neverember and all the other heads of different factions were set up and giving
[293.4s] their speeches.
[294.4s] So the actual view of them in real world terms was put up on big jumbo screens, jumbo trons,
[303.5s] kind of all through the city, using magic of sorts, of course, in our world.
[311.2s] But people were all through the streets of Waterdeep watching and taking this in
[315.8s] and giving their thoughts and prayers to those that had lost their lives and those
[321.3s] that had come back victorious.
[326.6s] I was probably in a tavern but on a terrace, like outside, drinking a beer, watching the
[337.5s] big screen.
[341.5s] I'm keeping it low key.
[342.5s] I'm not running through the streets.
[343.5s] I'm not, you know, I'm just kind of keeping it down low.
[347.1s] Now Sully, we know, is or was rather a member of the Cult of the Dragon.
[356.2s] So this is, I mean, you would have heard a few days prior, at least a couple days
[360.7s] prior that the Cult of the Dragon lost the battle.
[365.3s] What kind of feeling and emotion is Sully going through knowing that the people
[372.1s] of Faerun were victorious against them?
[375.6s] Well, I think Sully's super happy about it, but I think he's really ashamed.
[380.3s] He never wants the secret to be out.
[382.7s] He doesn't want to be grouped or lumped in with those people who did all that,
[389.5s] even though he feels somewhat like he would deserve it, but also feels very,
[398.8s] I don't know, he's a little bit torn.
[401.0s] He's very much excited that they've lost, that the cult lost, but at the same time,
[407.3s] he's a little worried about what this could mean for him.
[411.7s] And if he's in the clear now or not, he's kind of sitting on pins and needles.
[420.5s] I think he's, he doesn't want to get, let himself get too, too excited.
[427.3s] I think Glim is, of course, very inspired by all of this because, you know,
[434.1s] she has a destiny to save the world.
[437.6s] So she probably is standing in front of one of those screens and just like staring,
[444.6s] crying, like very intent, not doing really anything else except for kind of taking it in
[452.3s] and really feeling like deep feelings of loss, even though, you know,
[456.7s] she didn't know any of these people personally.
[459.1s] It hadn't really affected her where she was in her isolated little community or anything.
[465.0s] But the sadness at having lost people, but more importantly,
[469.3s] like how powerful it feels that everybody has come together and risen up.
[475.0s] And, you know, there's like a lot of love feelings around.
[480.1s] Everyone is so happy, even though they are also sad, but they've been victorious.
[484.3s] So she's just like crying.
[490.9s] Kind of similar to Glim's experience.
[494.1s] Moot kind of is in the big like town square in front of one of the viewing screens.
[500.6s] And he's just kind of looking around and noticing that there's like all different
[505.7s] like races and creeds all in one place, like taking in the same thing.
[510.5s] Like he sees tieflings and half orcs and halflings and, you know,
[515.6s] everybody in between that are all just like are like sharing the one moment together.
[524.3s] It's a couple days or two or three days after the ceremony.
[529.9s] Since you've been here, the streets have been packed.
[532.9s] Camps have been set up in and around the outlying area of Waterdeep.
[538.9s] None of you three had been to Waterdeep previously, I think we had established,
[543.0s] unless I'm incorrect.
[545.0s] Sounds right.
[546.6s] Correct.
[547.7s] So this is the only way that you've known Waterdeep is full to the brim with people.
[555.4s] So it's two or three days after and a large percentage of the people,
[561.1s] now that some of the forces have been have come back and gotten become rested.
[568.9s] They are starting to take people back out in large caravans
[573.8s] to the cities where they originally came from,
[576.8s] to the towns to help rebuild and get a foot back up and get started back with life again.
[586.9s] You three have been here for a couple of weeks now.
[590.5s] Where are you staying?
[593.1s] I think you had previously mentioned something to the effect of Bahamut, Temple of Bahamut.
[600.7s] Yeah, I mean, that's like my whole thing is that I am always welcome there.
[604.8s] So I feel like I even invited these guys also to stay there with me.
[609.5s] Is that accurate?
[610.8s] I remember maybe me saying that, but I don't know that I have the authority to do that.
[615.7s] They were probably too kind to say that we weren't really allowed to come and stay with you,
[619.9s] but they were just like, yeah, that's fine.
[623.5s] So you've been there for a couple of weeks.
[625.5s] And as far as temples go, this one is very modest.
[631.6s] In fact, in order to find it, it took the three of you quite a long time
[636.3s] and asking around to many different people because it's only marked by a small wooden sign
[644.0s] that is worn incredibly with age that still that holds a very worn image of the symbol of Bahamut on it.
[656.5s] Inside, there's only a few rooms, probably six to eight rooms.
[662.6s] There's the one main chamber where people come in to to pray
[669.3s] and to speak with the priest or priestess there.
[676.1s] And we're going to say that during this time, Glim, you might not have had much one on one time that you've set up your Zumba.
[691.1s] You've you've gone out and you've stopped the Rat King.
[694.9s] You've taken in this this large ceremony.
[699.1s] But you haven't had a lot of one on one time with the main priestess there, Kelbis Krombeak.
[707.8s] She is a bronze dragonborn.
[713.1s] It's it's early morning and you get up and you come downstairs and she is.
[720.8s] Just arranging some of the pews and putting out some some leaflets and just getting ready for the day.
[728.8s] OK, well, I'm going to help. I'll just like help grab whatever needs distributing and doing while while she's, you know, working as well.
[741.3s] She notices you and says, oh, oh, thank you. Thank you, Glim.
[746.0s] Always so happy to help. How how are you today?
[752.1s] I'm I'm quite well. It's it's it's a much lighter feeling in the city.
[758.5s] Now that. Now that people are headed back to their homes under such such a victory.
[767.3s] Yeah, it was I've never experienced anything like that before, just all of those people, and it was it was really incredible.
[776.4s] Magical, some might say. Yeah, yeah, it felt spiritual for sure.
[783.3s] What? It seems like an awful lot of the people that have been here are just going to get to go back home now.
[792.9s] Yes, that is that is what it seems. The city will go back to regular working order and hopefully everybody else.
[800.5s] Hopefully their towns and villages aren't are too too far set back.
[806.6s] Well, it seems like at a time like this, everyone's going to be really willing to work super hard and work together to get everything kind of sorted out back in their homes.
[817.1s] That is the idea. And from the sounds of the plans, they're kind of going city to city.
[823.9s] So helping the first one, everybody in the caravan and then moving along.
[829.0s] So. If everybody comes together, which they have done so far, it should go smoothly and.
[836.9s] Life would be back to normal, at least as normal as it can be.
[842.0s] And life will go back to normal here at the temple, too.
[847.1s] That is the hope. It's it's there's been many people through here, much more than usual.
[854.3s] We don't usually get a large amount of traffic.
[857.7s] And what does normal mean here? I mean, it's a pretty small place.
[864.5s] Yes, yeah. Those that follow Bahamut aren't particularly about flaunting or drawing too much attention to themselves.
[878.4s] They don't usually stick to one place for a great amount of time.
[883.4s] They want to go out and do good and carry the name as you as you know.
[891.0s] Well, that Bahamut, he's a real he's a real.
[894.6s] Do it yourself, kind of. You know, he wants everybody to to do their own thing and take care of themselves.
[901.4s] And it's part of why I love him so much.
[905.2s] Bahamut, the DIY God, some might say he wants to make it right.
[912.1s] No, no one would say that.
[916.3s] No, you shouldn't compare Mike Holmes to Bahamut.
[922.5s] Blasphemy.
[924.9s] Well, I really appreciate you letting me and my friends stay here.
[929.4s] Of course, you are always welcome.
[933.1s] How long do you think you will be here?
[936.5s] And where where where are you expected or where do you plan to go next?
[943.7s] Well, I mean, I've told you about my destiny, so I have some things I need to do to accomplish that.
[949.5s] But I don't know that I'm quite ready yet.
[954.7s] I think me and my friends, if they'll come with me, maybe we need to go.
[961.6s] Experience a little bit more of the world before it's before it's time to, you know, go find my destiny.
[970.3s] Right.
[971.8s] Do you have any suggestions or do you think I should stay here and study more or?
[977.6s] I mean, you are certainly welcome to stay here, and I'm more than happy to impart whatever wisdom that I have upon you.
[986.8s] You mentioned previously that your next major step in your destiny is traveling to Timanthor.
[1001.1s] Yeah, I mean, the first part of my destiny was that I needed to find a halfling and then half orc.
[1007.9s] I mean, I found I think I found my people.
[1010.6s] It sure seems that way.
[1011.7s] So I guess my next stop is to go to Timanthor and find the Citadel and pledge my oath, you know, to really,
[1020.1s] really kind of go steady with Bahamut, really make things serious, you know.
[1024.9s] You see her face go from a slight smile to a bit more serious.
[1032.7s] And she says, my dear, what what do you know or what have you been told so far of Timanthor and specifically the capital?
[1043.8s] Just that I have to go there.
[1045.6s] It's the birthplace of the Dragonborn and I need to go and swear my oath.
[1050.0s] But if you mean logistics and practicalities, not very much.
[1058.6s] Well, let me let me do what I can to prepare you for what you might expect to see there.
[1071.4s] That would be incredible. Thank you.
[1073.7s] My fear is that it may have been slightly romanticized a bit for you.
[1083.4s] The Citadel that you speak of is probably no more than what you see before you hear.
[1093.7s] Timanthor and Gerod-Thamar specifically are a very militaristic place.
[1103.4s] Religion doesn't stand very highly among the Dragonborn from from our homeland, if you say.
[1114.3s] How long has your village been gone from Timanthor?
[1120.3s] Oh, gosh, I mean, a long, a long, long time, you know, nobody.
[1126.7s] I don't think anybody there even has relatives, you know,
[1131.2s] like grandparents or great grandparents that had been there themselves.
[1136.1s] So, right. Many generations.
[1140.9s] The Dragonborn there, specifically, and the majority of them believe that there are no Dragon Gods.
[1153.7s] What? No, where do they think we came from then?
[1161.3s] They believe, and there are a few, obviously, who do believe more as we do.
[1170.4s] They believe that the Dragonborn were created on another planet,
[1177.1s] another plane, mirror to Toriel, which is where we are now.
[1184.7s] Created by dragons and by the supposed gods that they call themselves as slaves.
[1199.2s] And were used as such for work, for battle,
[1206.8s] for sustenance, if so needed.
[1214.7s] And when the two worlds, Abier and Toriel, collided, Timanthor split to Toriel.
[1225.1s] And the majority of the Dragonborn population still to this day holds that value very high.
[1237.1s] Hmm. Well, that sounds like a sad way to live, but I guess I understand why they would be,
[1243.8s] you know, military and strong, and I guess they're awfully afraid that they might be enslaved again.
[1252.4s] Exactly. So the citadel you seek is in Gerod-Thammar.
[1261.5s] And to properly pledge yourself to Bahamut, you may travel there.
[1271.3s] But know that your view of Dragonborn, specifically from your village,
[1278.3s] might be shaken when you arrive.
[1287.3s] I understand. I mean, thanks for warning me.
[1296.7s] We'll go to Moot.
[1298.5s] Yeah.
[1299.5s] Where do we find Moot?
[1301.8s] Moot is finally walking back to the Temple of Bahamut after his last shift, roofing, baubles and such.
[1311.6s] Worked off all that. All that.
[1315.6s] Well, I mean, you might not be done working there, but you've at least roofed it.
[1319.1s] I've at least done that job.
[1321.0s] Yeah. During your time in Waterdeep, how often have you been casting spells?
[1333.3s] Not very often, and it's been very small things like Mage Hand.
[1338.7s] You know, if I forgot something down on the ground when I climbed up the ladder to get up on the roof,
[1343.1s] then I just, you know, crab clawed up to me.
[1346.7s] Never wanted a real spell, like a spell to be as real as I do right now.
[1351.9s] Because that feels very like, you know, you get upstairs, you realize you left your water downstairs, your phone.
[1357.9s] I use it all the time.
[1360.1s] Just well, I don't know if mine would look like a crab claw, but yeah.
[1363.1s] No, I think they have to look like crab claws, Amy.
[1366.5s] I'm pretty sure.
[1367.5s] I think I read that in the player's handbook somewhere.
[1369.8s] Oh, yeah. OK, then.
[1371.7s] You're thinking back on one of these times when something odd happened.
[1379.9s] Roll me a percentile die or percentile dice.
[1387.7s] Well, yeah, there's the two of them.
[1390.4s] We are looking at a 10 and a 10, so 11.
[1396.1s] That should be an 11.
[1398.7s] How tall is Moot?
[1400.9s] I think I've said somewhere around six feet in the past.
[1403.2s] OK, roll me a D10.
[1406.5s] OK.
[1410.7s] That is a seven.
[1413.5s] So what were you doing?
[1415.2s] Was it just Mage Hand?
[1416.5s] And when did this happen?
[1418.7s] Yeah, I was just casting Mage Hand to bring up a hammer that I had left down on the ground.
[1426.3s] Perhaps today?
[1427.7s] Yeah, like right at the last part of my shift.
[1431.9s] You did this.
[1433.3s] You were bringing up the hammer.
[1434.8s] You cast Mage Hand.
[1436.2s] You're bringing up the hammer and you felt odd.
[1439.8s] You couldn't quite place it.
[1442.8s] And when you left,
[1446.7s] you said goodbye to Bombera, who really wasn't paying much attention.
[1450.7s] She looked up, kind of looked confused at you and
[1455.2s] said, well, we'll see you.
[1456.4s] We'll see you on Monday or whenever the next day of the week in Faerun it is.
[1464.2s] You have a good weekend.
[1467.1s] And she went back to her book, not really paying too close attention.
[1472.0s] You are where are you headed?
[1474.9s] Back to the Temple of Bahamut.
[1480.2s] You get a very distinct sense.
[1483.9s] How am I going to do this?
[1485.0s] Because this is everything seems to destroy your world.
[1489.0s] No, I'm not trying to destroy your world.
[1490.5s] I'm just trying to figure out when Moot would pay attention to this.
[1496.1s] Well, it depends on what happened to him, right?
[1498.3s] Yeah, no, things, things seem bigger.
[1504.6s] Just everything seems like it's just a little bit out of place.
[1508.2s] OK, like he put on a new prescription in your eyes,
[1511.5s] like need that time to adjust to it.
[1514.7s] Sure. Yeah, we could say that.
[1517.4s] More like Mario getting hit with a with a shell.
[1521.8s] Now, pipes are a lot taller, a lot looser.
[1525.5s] Yeah. You're walking back down the street
[1530.5s] and you see Sully coming up towards you.
[1534.9s] I'm going to tell you what happened to him and then you can describe what you see.
[1541.0s] I give a wave and a the Sully.
[1545.6s] I walk up to Moot and I.
[1557.3s] Just kind of take a moment and stare at him.
[1561.8s] What's what's up?
[1565.5s] Did you do something different with your hair?
[1568.5s] No, I mean, I think it's the same as it was before, and he kind of grabs his hair.
[1574.7s] New clothes?
[1576.5s] No, no, I've I've only have like the two outfits and this is one of them.
[1581.8s] Have you been secretly wearing lifts and just didn't tell anybody?
[1586.6s] Lifts? You know, to make, you know, to make you taller.
[1591.9s] Make a perception check, Moot.
[1597.3s] That is an 11.
[1600.6s] Sully seems closer in your height to you than you do,
[1603.9s] like maybe you're just exhausted.
[1606.3s] Maybe you're just super tired, but Sully seems like he grew.
[1611.7s] Going to, like, hold my hand out and be like,
[1617.5s] since did you get bigger?
[1623.5s] Well, no, but did I get smaller?
[1629.2s] I. What?
[1633.8s] I think so.
[1635.1s] I and I stand beside him and I do where you put your hand on your head
[1640.8s] to match where the other person is.
[1643.7s] And whereas before, if you were six feet tall.
[1647.4s] Oh, God, how tall am I?
[1649.8s] They probably got three feet tall.
[1651.8s] Elbow height.
[1654.7s] I'm only three foot five.
[1658.5s] So I would be like.
[1661.3s] Like waist height for you, essentially like half your size.
[1665.7s] Now I am more like.
[1668.7s] Chest height.
[1671.6s] And I'm like, yeah.
[1674.4s] Yeah, there's something wrong with either your torso or your legs.
[1678.8s] Well, they feel fine.
[1682.5s] I felt bad earlier.
[1684.5s] Maybe do you think someone like
[1687.2s] cursed me or something?
[1689.5s] Why, you pissed someone off?
[1691.1s] I don't think so.
[1691.9s] I mean, I was just roofing all day.
[1693.7s] I can't imagine anyone was angry about that.
[1697.0s] Well, then I get probably not.
[1699.5s] I mean, when people curse people, I mean, it takes a lot.
[1703.2s] So I hear and I.
[1707.7s] I don't know, like, are you Benjamin Biden?
[1711.0s] Younger.
[1713.9s] The famous explorer?
[1715.2s] I don't think so.
[1717.0s] Well, didn't he get younger and younger and he was getting smaller and smaller?
[1722.7s] Oh, different, different Benjamin Button.
[1724.9s] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1726.8s] Uh huh.
[1728.1s] You are you growing backwards?
[1730.9s] You two, I assume, continue
[1734.4s] at least kind of walking at a slow pace.
[1736.4s] You pass by the bakery that you you you love to go.
[1740.0s] The Sun and Stars.
[1741.7s] That is the name of it, yes.
[1743.4s] And you walk up to it and look through the glass
[1745.9s] like you usually do before you go in and purchase.
[1748.9s] And you are seven inches shorter now.
[1755.9s] Yeah, I can.
[1758.7s] We we need to go quicker back to the temple.
[1761.3s] I needed maybe they can help out with this.
[1764.5s] Well, hold on. You're looking at the big goods.
[1767.0s] They were just going to leave.
[1768.8s] I feel like this me being quite a bit shorter than normal
[1773.1s] maybe takes precedent over the croissants.
[1775.8s] But it doesn't really seem to be like a life threatening kind of like,
[1780.0s] what's so bad about being small?
[1782.0s] The door bursts open and the store owner named.
[1786.9s] You know, Tom, you've been there so much in their numerous times.
[1790.6s] You guys are besties.
[1792.4s] Mauritius. Oh, Remy's easier to spell.
[1795.2s] That's a better choice. Remy.
[1796.3s] What did you say?
[1797.5s] I said Mauritius, Remy Mauritius.
[1801.7s] His name sounds delicious. It sure does.
[1805.3s] Don't spell that. That's how you spell it now.
[1807.4s] Remy comes out, he says, Oh, Moot, it's such a pleasure to see you.
[1811.3s] We have some new what?
[1814.1s] You seem smaller, my friend.
[1816.5s] Yeah, I don't know.
[1817.4s] Some something happened to me.
[1819.3s] Do you know anything about magic?
[1821.0s] Usually when people usually when people eat here many times as you,
[1825.1s] they don't get smaller. They get wider.
[1827.2s] Well, yeah, I mean, I was there for a little bit till I started that roofing job
[1830.9s] and then, you know, worked off all those extra turnovers I was eating.
[1833.9s] But, you know, it just seemed to be legitimately smaller than before.
[1839.9s] Which I don't see why that's a problem, but apparently it's a problem.
[1843.9s] But Sully, if you all of a sudden
[1847.0s] were seven inches taller than you normally are,
[1849.7s] wouldn't you be concerned about that?
[1851.7s] Now be fucking ecstatic.
[1854.1s] OK, what if you were seven inches shorter than you normally are?
[1857.2s] Well, don't even put that out into the atmosphere, man.
[1859.8s] Sully starts to look around like someone's going to jump out
[1862.3s] and curse him at any moment.
[1863.5s] He would be as small as a toadstool.
[1866.7s] This is this is creeping in on him.
[1868.6s] That's racist. My grandmother was a toadstool.
[1872.9s] Well, he would come by it naturally then.
[1876.9s] You're coming in for for some for some for some goods.
[1881.0s] Can I rain check on the goods?
[1883.1s] I got to go figure out what's going on here first.
[1888.2s] Can he not rain check on the goods?
[1891.2s] Only one chance.
[1891.8s] Is the bakery going under if I don't buy something this moment?
[1894.9s] This is Moot's usual time.
[1896.7s] I mean, perhaps there was something special set.
[1898.6s] They'll never know.
[1899.6s] Oh, no.
[1902.1s] It works.
[1904.2s] That's all.
[1905.2s] Well, hey there.
[1916.7s] Welcome back to the middle.
[1918.1s] It's just me, your Dungeon Master, Rush More, here with you this fine day.
[1923.6s] A little late getting this together.
[1925.3s] We had a big record session for some episodes coming up

[1930.9s] And we can't wait for you to hear those episodes.
[1933.4s] Those will be coming up beginning to mid-November.
[1937.1s] Looking forward to that.

[1987.2s] see if you find something, some Dungeons swag

[1996.3s] So let's get back to the episode here and find out what's going on
[1999.3s] with these crazy new crew kids.
[2001.3s] And we will talk to you next week.
[2003.8s] Welcome to Very Random Encounters, where we play tabletop RPGs
[2007.5s] and randomly determine as much as possible.
[2009.3s] Remember playing with Legos and swapping the people's heads and limbs
[2012.5s] to create horrid abominations that God forgot?
[2015.2s] Our show is what it would be like if those rejected attempts
[2018.0s] at the human form had to go out and save the day.
[2020.8s] We turn the nonsense into a story with a nice message,
[2023.7s] like how friendship is stronger than a mind controlled goblin jazz band.
[2027.9s] It is a thing that really happened.
[2029.2s] Find Very Random Encounters wherever you randomly
[2032.1s] determined to listen to podcasts.
[2033.8s] You head off back down the street and you make it back to the temple.
[2038.7s] Sully is chasing behind.
[2041.4s] I run and like jump and we're eye level and I'm like.
[2044.1s] Oh, this is novel.
[2050.2s] I hope it never wears off.
[2053.0s] You burst through the door and Glim and Kelbus
[2056.2s] are are standing there speaking together.
[2060.8s] Hi. Hi, guys.
[2063.0s] Hi. Look how small he is.
[2065.2s] What happened to your friend?
[2066.8s] You do. Oh, what happened?
[2069.8s] You're you're just a real little guy now, aren't you?
[2073.1s] Because I don't know.
[2074.3s] Hold on a second.
[2076.2s] I don't know what what happened.
[2078.3s] I was roofing and I was using my my crab claw
[2083.8s] to get some things down and I didn't feel very good.
[2086.6s] And then all of a sudden I'm short.
[2091.1s] I don't. I wonder if this happens to other people who are roofing.
[2097.5s] You know, like maybe it's like an epidemic or something
[2099.9s] that happens or roofing too much.
[2101.3s] You got roof feet. You got roof feet.
[2105.7s] I don't know if that's what they mean.
[2109.1s] No, that's fine.
[2112.8s] I don't I don't like the sound of this.
[2116.7s] Well, did you did you eat anything weird?
[2121.1s] Did you get did somebody curse you?
[2123.9s] That's what I thought did.
[2126.1s] Did you get bit by a spider?
[2128.1s] Because sometimes they can do things to you.
[2131.1s] I don't remember being bit by a spider and Mootlake starts
[2134.3s] like touching his arms and legs to like check for spider bites.
[2138.9s] No, I don't I don't I don't feel anything.
[2143.5s] Maybe you're just growing backwards.
[2145.8s] Yeah, had you considered that you're growing backwards?
[2149.0s] I mean, I hadn't I didn't think people could do that.
[2151.5s] Does that happen a lot with half orcs?
[2154.1s] No, we're always tall.
[2156.2s] Well, maybe you're going more to the half than you are to the orc.
[2159.9s] I wow.
[2162.8s] Fucking deep, man, I have a lot of thoughts that I just don't say.
[2166.1s] I think I'm just going to say them.
[2170.1s] Tom, how do you want to play this out?
[2171.1s] Do you want to roll intelligence to see if you remember
[2173.4s] talking to Gabriel about or Gabriel or Layden
[2177.5s] about wild magic surges?
[2179.5s] I mean, I do remember talking to Gabriel about it and nothing
[2182.1s] had happened at that point. Right. OK.
[2184.8s] So maybe it's just taking a minute to like
[2187.9s] sink in that this is somehow related to that.
[2190.3s] Could be initial shock and everything.
[2193.2s] Yeah. Maybe roll an intelligence check.
[2194.9s] We'll see if it's kind of sinks in during this conversation.
[2197.3s] Well, and you don't want to think that you did this to yourself.
[2202.0s] It must be a curse.
[2203.1s] I bet you but that's an 18 for the intelligence check.
[2208.3s] So during the course of this conversation, you're talking about curses
[2212.3s] and half orcs becoming more half an orc.
[2215.6s] And you as something clicks in your mind,
[2220.1s] talking to Gabriel about using magic the way that sorcerers do,
[2224.8s] the way that you do and tapping into wild magic
[2228.5s] and how there can be adverse side effects.
[2232.9s] Wait, guys, do you remember what Gabriel said to me
[2236.7s] when we were leaving?
[2238.5s] He talked about things can like happen.
[2242.7s] Things can come through the wild magic.
[2246.6s] No, I'm sorry.
[2248.6s] I really I don't I'm not a very good listener.
[2252.9s] Well, you might even been sleeping in the cart at that point.
[2256.0s] That sounds like me.
[2257.7s] Glim, do you do you am I I remember having this conversation.
[2262.1s] He said that sometimes like surges can happen.
[2266.1s] Maybe that's what happened.
[2267.9s] Right. And did he say something about Mala?
[2271.4s] Did he say something about what specifically would happen?
[2275.5s] Did he mention getting smaller?
[2278.4s] No, I think he was deliberately vague about what can happen.
[2283.7s] Hmm. Sounds like Gabriel.
[2287.5s] I once knew a wizard that did the like the like the voodoo like you do.
[2294.2s] And he once he once tried to light a candle on fire
[2299.3s] to light a candle on fire, but accidentally brought through a wormling.
[2305.1s] And let me tell you, it was crazy because he was inside
[2309.5s] and everything his room was trashed.
[2312.7s] Kelvis, do you do you know if there's any sorcerers
[2317.1s] or magic teachers or anything in town here that maybe I could talk to?
[2324.3s] Um, well, or do you know much about magic?
[2328.5s] I don't. I don't know a great deal about shrinking,
[2335.0s] using magic, especially without knowing.
[2337.7s] I mean, there are there are spells as far as I understand how to,
[2342.6s] you know, to grow and and shrink individuals.
[2345.7s] But yeah, usually that's like the the goal of the spell that is.
[2350.0s] Oh, my God. Was it just really cold up on the roof?
[2355.7s] No, it was.
[2356.5s] It's a nice warm day. It was just hours ago.
[2363.5s] I was in a pool.
[2368.5s] I mean, there there are sorcerers, there are the school,
[2372.4s] the school of wizardry there.
[2377.3s] They may be able to help you.
[2380.2s] I, yeah, I don't have much else for you, though.
[2384.6s] I can. Send hopes and prayers
[2391.7s] that your height returns.
[2394.5s] I mean, thoughts and prayers don't do too much.
[2398.6s] This is three mentions in this episode of like, thoughts and prayer.
[2403.6s] It's called thoughts and prayers.
[2406.1s] What about what about what about a magic user or a teacher
[2410.5s] or a sorcerer or anyone you know of?
[2413.3s] Um, sure. Yes.
[2417.0s] I mean, I don't I don't know if it will say mean anything,
[2419.6s] but I mean, you can just you can just go to to the wizarding school.
[2425.6s] They have one of those here.
[2428.0s] This is Waterdeep.
[2428.9s] This is one of the this is perhaps the largest city in Faerun.
[2432.3s] Of course, they have a school of wizardry here.
[2435.7s] Idiot. I did not call him an idiot.
[2438.9s] So that wasn't that wasn't selling.
[2440.9s] Yeah, it sounded nothing like him.
[2444.5s] At that moment, Sully Sully got a little quiet.
[2447.7s] So you feel a little twang in your side.
[2451.9s] Like it's just a sharp pain.
[2454.0s] Oh, and we flash back to that morning.
[2459.7s] Where do you wake up and what do you do first thing in the morning?
[2463.8s] Why wake up in the temple?
[2465.2s] Because that is where I'm staying.
[2468.5s] This is the question.
[2469.6s] Well, I know Sully's not like a like a drunkard going out
[2473.3s] and sleeping in the streets.
[2475.3s] No, no, he likes a bed or at least like a bedroll.
[2481.0s] And he goes out and I think he's a wanderer.
[2485.3s] He wanders through the streets.
[2488.5s] He stops in shops.
[2490.5s] He talks to different people.
[2492.2s] He I think he stops infrequently right to see moot
[2497.6s] to I think moots, maybe disappointment, I don't know.
[2501.3s] But I have a feeling like not as much work gets done.
[2504.6s] Oh, I would think no work would get done.
[2508.0s] And so he really just spends his days kind of like milling about,
[2513.9s] touching shiny stuff.
[2517.4s] Only occasionally stealing.
[2520.5s] He's really tried to stop that.
[2522.1s] This morning, you wake up
[2523.9s] and you're getting dressed and ready for the day.
[2528.1s] And you kind of reach around.
[2530.9s] You got like an itch on your side and you reach back to your side.
[2536.3s] And there's a lump there.
[2541.9s] What the fuck?
[2544.1s] It's about the size of a large marble.
[2549.9s] You can't quite see it from your angle.
[2552.4s] You kind of get a bit of a reflection in in one of the windows.
[2556.9s] There are no mirrors in your room, and it looks a little discolored.
[2563.9s] Sully is not impressed.
[2566.2s] Make a wisdom saving throw.
[2569.4s] New dice, new dice, new dice.
[2572.2s] It's exciting.
[2573.5s] Oh, fuck, it's a five motherfucker wisdom.
[2579.6s] It's a minus one, four.
[2583.2s] You you at first, you feel disgusted and like,
[2588.7s] where did this come from?
[2589.8s] But then as you as you touch it,
[2593.2s] you feel a sense of compassion for it.
[2598.7s] OK. Well, I'm going to call you Ken.
[2604.6s] And I put my clothes on and I go about my day with my buddy, Ken.
[2610.5s] And we flashback to Moot getting the information that he needs.
[2615.9s] And Kelba says it's El Torchul Academy.
[2621.1s] Sorry, I forgot previously.
[2623.0s] I don't often frequent there.
[2627.4s] It is a magic school of Lord Thesp or El Torchul.
[2633.1s] I don't know if you'll be able to get him,
[2634.8s] but I'm sure there could be somebody there who would be able to help you.
[2639.9s] Magic school of what was his name?
[2643.0s] Lord Thesp El Torchul.
[2647.3s] El Scorchow? El Scorchow.
[2651.7s] El Torchow, like he tortures a lot of people.
[2654.9s] All right.
[2658.8s] OK, yeah, I guess maybe I should like go there immediately.
[2664.3s] If you so desire your height back.
[2672.3s] Oh, my gosh, what if you just keep shrinking and shrinking and shrinking?
[2675.6s] Well, that's that's honestly a concern.
[2678.0s] So I think I should go right now.
[2681.4s] Does anyone want to come with or everyone cool here?
[2684.5s] Well, I'll come with you.
[2685.4s] I think I might be able to help you see the Lord.
[2689.6s] I have a noble background, so I have an inn with the Lord.
[2695.9s] I thought you had an inn with the Lord.
[2700.4s] I mean, I can definitely get you an inn with Bahamad.
[2705.5s] I'll tell you a little more about him on our way.
[2708.2s] Sorry, he loves you.
[2709.4s] He was a bit of a rule breaker. Lord Thesp.
[2714.4s] Oh, God. OK, yeah, no, I'll come too.
[2717.3s] Um, I have some questions of my own.
[2721.2s] And I pet the side of my self.
[2726.9s] Still have compassion.
[2730.4s] OK, you leave the citadel
[2734.3s] or leave the chapel temple, whatever we called it.
[2737.7s] I've said them all.
[2739.5s] And you head towards she
[2742.0s] Kelbus gives you directions to the sea ward of Waterdeep.
[2747.9s] And it is on the corner of Ivory and Diamond streets.
[2752.8s] And you walk up and the Arcane Academy stands before you.
[2757.2s] It's housed at a large villa.
[2762.7s] And you step up to it.
[2764.8s] There is no gate.
[2766.3s] There's a closed door at the top of a large flight of stairs, though.
[2772.0s] I like race up the stairs,
[2775.1s] open the door.
[2775.8s] Did you want to do any Lord talk in the streets?
[2778.2s] I cut. I jumped over that.
[2781.2s] No, like like any prostitutes in the streets.
[2784.5s] Yes. Yeah.
[2786.2s] OK, just check it.
[2788.1s] I always want to make sure you get your it's your daily, daily five in.
[2793.0s] No, no.
[2793.6s] I mean, the Zumba class takes care of a lot of my mission work in the morning.
[2797.9s] So fair enough. It's pretty, pretty good.
[2800.8s] Perfect. Sorry, mood.
[2803.1s] Yeah, so I like hustle up those stairs,
[2805.8s] not even really caring if they're like right behind me or not.
[2809.4s] I kind of throw open the door and head in and say,
[2813.3s] is is Lord Thesp here?
[2816.1s] Can I can I talk to the Lord Thesp, please?
[2819.5s] There is a smaller, older woman
[2823.1s] who's seated behind the desk who lets out an audible
[2826.3s] as you throw the door open.
[2827.8s] Are you Lord Thesp?
[2830.1s] Hmm. No, dearie.
[2832.3s] I'm not Lord Thesp. What is does no one knock anymore?
[2837.0s] Sorry, it's I've had a day.
[2839.3s] Oh, me too.
[2841.5s] Oh, no. What happened in your day?
[2843.3s] Well, this half orc just threw open the door screaming,
[2848.5s] get me Lord Thesp.
[2850.8s] I think I was just sitting here reading my tales.
[2853.8s] But that's well, I skipped over that.
[2856.6s] My heart skipped a beat.
[2858.0s] That might have been on the please.
[2860.8s] Sully, maybe I didn't.
[2862.3s] I meant to if I didn't.
[2864.2s] Fair enough.
[2865.9s] Are you brought friends?
[2867.4s] Yeah. Yeah, these are these are my friends.
[2869.6s] I'm I'm mood and that's Glim and that's Sullivan slight.
[2873.8s] Right. And yeah, I have a little like magic emergency.
[2879.1s] Ah, magic emergency.
[2880.7s] What is what is your emergency, my dear?
[2882.8s] Well, I'm well, Sully, why don't you tell her?
[2886.4s] Oh, oh, my.
[2888.8s] He's shorter.
[2890.2s] He looks perfectly fine to me.
[2891.6s] Well, this morning when he left, he was about this much bigger.
[2896.2s] And so he holds up his hands about seven inches apart.
[2899.7s] Really?
[2900.5s] And now he's like not that much bigger.
[2902.5s] And he didn't have any issues with like sharp objects?
[2907.1s] No, I don't think that he cut any
[2911.0s] parts of his body off.
[2912.4s] But I mean, I haven't seen him naked.
[2914.7s] So I don't know.
[2916.7s] No, all my parts are there.
[2918.9s] OK, well, he does while magic.
[2922.3s] He fucks up to dump it.
[2923.7s] Great. I'm a secretary, so I don't really know.
[2926.8s] I can't really judge the needs of needs of the you asked.
[2932.2s] I did. Well, I'm trying to diagnose before I go.
[2935.4s] You said you're just a secretary.
[2937.2s] Well, it's good triage.
[2938.7s] Triage secretary is what I am.
[2941.2s] You have to you have to narrow down what is needed here.
[2945.7s] Well, I have a question.
[2947.0s] Once you get him sorted out. OK.
[2951.3s] Oh, right now. Oh, no, we'll come back to you.
[2953.1s] That's fine. Yeah, no, I see.
[2955.5s] So what do you want to my my my new friend Moot Moot?
[2959.7s] Was it? That's a fun noise.
[2963.7s] Yeah, yeah, that's that's the one.
[2966.1s] Well, I was wondering if I could I could talk to Lord Thess
[2969.7s] because we were over at the Temple of Bahamut
[2973.1s] and they figured that he would probably be the good person to talk to
[2975.8s] about magic things.
[2977.5s] Well, Lord Thasp isn't here right now.
[2981.3s] Does he have like
[2983.1s] a another person who like teaches here or anything?
[2987.9s] We have we have several instructors, instructors here.
[2991.4s] Do any of them deal with wild magic?
[2997.9s] What about the fun noise?
[2999.8s] Right. What about magical side effects?
[3003.7s] Would you like me to go find somebody?
[3005.4s] Is that would be fantastic.
[3006.7s] Yeah. OK. OK. You wait.
[3008.3s] You you three wait right here.
[3012.0s] OK. She slowly gets up.
[3017.1s] Takes her step.
[3018.8s] So this is going to be a tiring walk.
[3022.8s] Takes another step.
[3025.6s] Ma'am, would it be helpful if you could just send one of us
[3028.6s] to go fetch someone?
[3029.6s] No, no, no, no.
[3031.9s] It's my job. OK.
[3034.5s] And she slowly walks around the corner.
[3036.9s] So I've got this.
[3039.3s] Don't worry about me.
[3041.6s] I'll be fine.
[3044.3s] Moot.
[3049.1s] She's cleared around the corner.
[3051.9s] I mean, it might have just glimpsed right.
[3053.7s] It might have just been easier to send us.
[3056.1s] Well, I mean, to be fair, we've never been here before.
[3058.5s] We have no idea where we're going and we don't know who we're looking for.
[3061.2s] So. What if.
[3064.2s] But I mean, if she said, hey, it's three doors down on the left.
[3067.0s] You're right. We could have handled that.
[3068.2s] Yeah, you're right.
[3071.1s] You wait a quite a while and she comes back
[3077.3s] and says, yes, someone will be right, right out with you.
[3083.1s] She slowly walks back to her desk.
[3085.4s] Does anyone else want to play Rock, Rock, Sword, Scroll?
[3094.5s] You hear.
[3099.3s] No, I mean, OK, I knew you would.
[3106.2s] You hear footsteps coming down the hall,
[3110.1s] coming around the corner, you see a
[3112.5s] a taller than Moot male.
[3117.2s] He is a dark
[3120.6s] tan skin, and he comes into the front entryway
[3125.1s] and he says, is it you three who require
[3130.5s] assistance of a great magical individual?
[3135.7s] Well, it's just it's just me, really.
[3137.6s] But yeah, they came along for moral support.
[3140.9s] Well, I have my own question, but I mean, let's take care of your height problem first.
[3146.3s] So you have a height problem?
[3149.6s] Well, yeah, I am.
[3152.5s] OK, well, first, hi, I'm Moot.
[3154.9s] Yes. And that's Glim and that's.
[3157.9s] You're the noise she was making.
[3160.0s] Yeah. Yeah, that's the one.
[3161.4s] She said it was a fun noise.
[3163.5s] She did say it was a fun.
[3164.9s] She said there was a fun noise waiting at the front and needed magical assistance.
[3169.3s] Perfect. My name is Burko.
[3171.9s] Hi, Burko. Nice to meet you.
[3174.1s] Nice to meet you, too.
[3175.6s] So, Burko, I do.
[3177.2s] Oh, well, I have the capability of doing wild magic.
[3182.0s] Not well.
[3183.3s] Well, I mean, it's been pretty good up to this point,
[3185.5s] but you are right about that.
[3187.6s] It did not go so well earlier today.
[3190.3s] I cast a spell and then didn't feel great after it happened.
[3195.5s] And now I'm seven.
[3197.4s] Is it seven inches shorter than I was before, Sully?
[3200.3s] Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah.
[3202.8s] That's accurate. OK.
[3206.3s] So I was just I was just curious, is this like a permanent thing?
[3209.7s] Is this going to wear off? Can you reverse the effects?
[3213.7s] I just need information here.
[3215.7s] Mm hmm.
[3218.2s] Would you call this a.
[3221.1s] Debilitating effect.
[3224.1s] Well, for reaching things, yeah.
[3226.6s] Mm hmm. OK.
[3229.6s] Well. I don't.
[3236.7s] Hold on.
[3237.8s] Let me talk to Fran here for a second.
[3241.0s] He goes over and he whispers into her ears.
[3245.3s] They look over at you.
[3247.1s] That's just.
[3252.2s] It's OK.
[3257.2s] Well, I mean, we can we can.
[3261.9s] I don't know what I can do for you here, friend.
[3265.4s] If it is a spell.
[3269.2s] Something that has an enlarge or reduce spell, obviously reduce.
[3275.6s] Well, yeah, but I.
[3277.5s] There's usually a time period in which it reverses.
[3281.3s] Sure, but I wasn't casting a spell of that nature.
[3286.4s] Mm hmm.
[3289.4s] See, if I was casting something in that nature and it, you know,
[3292.7s] happened to hit me to great, I understand that.
[3295.3s] But this was just like a mage hand.
[3298.6s] Right. Right.
[3301.1s] Well, I can tell you that I can make you grow.
[3309.5s] For a minute.
[3317.7s] But I mean, that doesn't really seem like it's going to fix the problem.
[3321.0s] No, no, it doesn't, does it?
[3325.5s] See, most of the restoration spells
[3329.9s] revolve around restoring something, ailing you.
[3333.3s] And you, my friend, as far as I know, are exactly as you are supposed to be.
[3341.6s] I think he's saying you got to suck it up.
[3344.6s] Being short is not a disability.
[3347.6s] Again, Sully, I didn't think it was.
[3351.3s] It's just not that I don't feel like myself like this.
[3356.8s] You know what? Give me, give me a couple of days.
[3362.3s] Let me look into perhaps wild magic
[3365.7s] and any instances of shrinking of individuals
[3370.1s] because of said wild magic and see if I can't find anything
[3373.1s] that would flippy the effect.
[3378.5s] Is that the technical term?
[3380.1s] Sounds super academic.
[3382.1s] I am a magic professional.
[3385.5s] I've dabbled in academia myself.
[3389.2s] But so if we're done with with him,
[3392.9s] what do you know about maybe having like a growth on yourself
[3398.3s] that you feel like lots of love towards?
[3400.4s] I'm not a doctor.
[3402.5s] Well, I don't think that it's I don't think it's medical so much as mystical.
[3408.1s] Oh, well, if you love it, I mean, that's a bonus.
[3413.3s] Well, if it's a growth on you, it might be hard to set it free.
[3417.8s] Yeah. Well, it just it just showed up one day.
[3424.7s] Again, not a doctor.
[3427.3s] Oh, all right.
[3428.8s] Do you know where I can find a doctor?
[3432.9s] At the hospital.
[3434.1s] All right, guys, can we make a pit stop at the hospital?
[3437.5s] By the way, there's a growth on my body that I'm quite attached to.
[3442.3s] In a non-romantic, more of a platonic love and relationship.
[3449.6s] You are a weird bunch.
[3452.5s] Just full of problems.
[3455.2s] Couple days, they're good moot sound.
[3459.7s] Thanks. Thanks, Burko.
[3462.2s] Come back and I shall tell you if I can help you or not.
[3467.8s] OK, um.
[3470.3s] So I guess the hospital.
[3472.9s] Thank you both so much.
[3473.8s] I've got Zumba out behind the Bahamut Temple.
[3476.6s] If you guys want to join me on there every morning, it'd be great to see you.
[3480.1s] Oh, you're the Zumba.
[3481.7s] Hmm. Interesting.
[3483.5s] Hope to see you. Well, I might be there.
[3486.3s] Fran might have a hard time.
[3487.9s] I will see if I can assist her if she so desires.
[3491.3s] I haven't shaken, shaken like that in a long time.
[3497.9s] I could probably do it.
[3498.9s] All the more reason to come shake it, Fran.
[3501.5s] Shaking it right now.
[3507.1s] Sully backs away
[3510.0s] through the doors and starts down the stairs
[3514.1s] to the hospital. Come on, weirdos.
[3516.5s] Sully, I'm a bit worried.
[3517.5s] How long have you had a growth?
[3519.5s] Well, it's just been a couple of days.
[3521.2s] It's only this big and he holds up a.
[3524.8s] I don't know.
[3525.7s] It was like a couple inches across.
[3528.4s] I mean, that seems pretty big.
[3531.3s] Does it hurt?
[3532.0s] Well, I know. And it just kind of came up like.
[3535.3s] Well, actually, I think it just was this morning.
[3538.5s] Oh, yesterday morning.
[3540.2s] I sometimes lose track of time.
[3541.8s] Either way, I have very strong feelings towards it,
[3544.9s] which is very strange because I don't have strong feelings towards very much.
[3549.3s] So I mean, I have a little bit of medical training.
[3552.8s] Do you want do you want me to look?
[3555.1s] Sure. I lift my.
[3558.7s] My shirt to show the side of my torso.
[3566.2s] I mean, you can roll medicine.
[3567.7s] I rolled a 20.
[3568.7s] So you see.
[3574.0s] Not so much a lump as you see a bruise,
[3577.9s] like a large welt on Sully's side.
[3582.2s] And not an incision, but like a wound
[3585.7s] that looks like it's rather fresh.
[3590.6s] Sully, are you sure this was a lump?
[3592.1s] Can you I know it's kind of hard to twist around to see,
[3594.5s] but it's not really a lump. It's like.
[3598.5s] Like, I don't know, like a welt or a cut, did somebody.
[3603.9s] Does somebody shift you like what happened here?
[3606.6s] Oh, no, not for years.
[3608.9s] Um. I don't know.
[3612.1s] I don't recall hurting myself or anything like that.
[3614.7s] Nobody's cut me or anything like that.
[3620.2s] And I haven't I can't really see it.
[3622.5s] So and how do you do you still feel?
[3627.5s] Just like a lot of love for it.
[3630.6s] Well, yeah, I mean, it must be hard to be a welt
[3634.3s] on the side of a small halfling.
[3637.0s] Yeah, yeah, you're right.
[3639.9s] Um, we probably should get you to the hospital,
[3642.1s] though it doesn't really look good.
[3644.5s] Yeah, OK, let's check it out.
[3646.3s] If not for my safety, for his.
