1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,400
You very quickly find Tiny and Clip Clop.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,519
You come across Donnie's collar.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,120
No hints or clues or anything other than the collar are left of his whereabouts.

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,000
Someone's stolen Donnie.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,719
What if we continue to look as we travel?

7
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:27,440
I don't think we have much of a choice.

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,120
We're running out of supplies out here, wandering through the forest.

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,280
Let's head to Waterdeep.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,840
As long as you want to stay with us, Lex, you're welcome.

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,000
Well, let's see how things go in Waterdeep.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,079
Do you know where your creator, does your creator have a name?

13
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:42,880
I don't know.

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,760
When I left him, I was in no condition to ask questions.

15
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,480
So I think I remember how to get back there.

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,920
You think you hear a noise, familiar noise.

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:58,800
I turn around.

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,719
As you turn back around, you're immediately faced by the image of Nularaaaa.

19
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:08,159
No, damn it!

20
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,800
Your hand goes to a blade, you pull it out, and you see Nularaaaa's dagger.

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,920
The glowing red eyes and they thrust up into the body of Nularaaaa in front of you.

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,920
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,439
We're a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast and I'm your dungeon master,

24
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:28,320
Russ Boren.

25
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,560
With me today is Amy More.

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,519
I'm here.

27
00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:32,799
My name is Amy More.

28
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:37,520
I play Thea Amastasia and my favorite animal is a cuttlefish.

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,240
And Carla Maxted.

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,840
I am also here.

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,760
I am Lex and my favorite animal.

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,760
I mean, realistically, it's a dog.

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:53,200
I probably have a more exotic choice, but truly dogs.

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520
And Toblaird.

35
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,040
Yeah, also here playing FlintFirebeard and my favorite animal.

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,280
It's got to be those Dankoalas.

37
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,480
Such a good choice, they're so adorable and so stoned all the time.

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,120
It's great.

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,800
Oh, so high all the time.

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,599
I hear when you make them angry, though, they're really angry.

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,200
But I mean, in their defense, Russ, when you make anything angry,

42
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:18,479
it's really angry.

43
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:19,679
Who's trying to make a koala angry?

44
00:02:19,679 --> 00:02:20,159
Touche.

45
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:23,120
Remember how you made Amy angry during the last episode?

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,319
Yeah, I remember last episode.

47
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:24,959
Let's see how that plays out.

48
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:26,799
I don't remember that episode at all.

49
00:02:26,799 --> 00:02:28,639
I've blocked it from my memory.

50
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,840
I don't know what you're talking about.

51
00:02:30,399 --> 00:02:32,560
Well, there's this dagger.

52
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,199
What dagger?

53
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:36,399
Just a thing that's been kicking around.

54
00:02:36,399 --> 00:02:37,280
Well, you know what?

55
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,000
If I end up with this dagger, I'm naming it Mick Dagger.

56
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:45,039
Suddenly doesn't have the dagger.

57
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,639
That's right.

58
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,879
I'm just going to pun anything you throw at me.

59
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:52,079
Yeah, that's fair.

60
00:02:52,079 --> 00:02:55,840
Where we have lots of punny things.

61
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:59,439
Not that many does scare people away from it.

62
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:01,199
No, I mean, there's some.

63
00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:03,759
Our stuff is much better than what Russ just demonstrated.

64
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:04,239
Yeah.

65
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:05,759
No, it's very good over there.

66
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:08,159
That was less good.

67
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,319
But the stuff we have over there is very good.

68
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:12,879
I'm really selling this.

69
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:13,680
Over where, Russ?

70
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,879
You're doing a great job.

71
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:15,919
Over on Patreon.

72
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,240
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

73
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,439
Didn't I say Patreon already?

74
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:22,240
I don't think you did, but then you kept.

75
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,319
So on Patreon, there's all this bonus content.

76
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:27,039
It's really great.

77
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:28,719
There's lots of really nice people.

78
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:32,800
It's an awesome place to get more stuff for a very reasonable price.

79
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,400
Whatever you feel is fair.

80
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,919
And we're for cheap people.

81
00:03:37,359 --> 00:03:37,840
It's true.

82
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,400
We all like a good bargain.

83
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:44,000
So that's what we try to provide over there is a good bargain.

84
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,560
That's right.

85
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,639
For more bang from your buck for your buck.

86
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,199
What happens when you are a patron as well is you get an episode dedicated

87
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:56,000
to you like today's patron, Colter Donnelly.

88
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,719
You've got a super cool first name.

89
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:02,080
So the whole thing goes together.

90
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,199
Sounds like a celebrity name.

91
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,360
Oh, it totally does.

92
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,280
Or a high school jock.

93
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:09,199
Oh, yeah.

94
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:13,439
I mean, either one, but really the celebrity of the high school.

95
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:15,759
Now we've made up this whole backstory for you, Colter.

96
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:16,079
Yeah.

97
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:19,199
So if that's your backstory, I mean, it can be now.

98
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:20,319
It's recorded.

99
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:21,839
You could just say this is me.

100
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,079
Yeah.

101
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,240
You could just make that your ringtone.

102
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,920
If you want.

103
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,040
It's all yours.

104
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,680
Just clip it.

105
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,399
You're good.

106
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:29,759
Thank you, Colter.

107
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,680
You can check out more about becoming a patron over at Patreon.com slash dumb

108
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,120
dragon cast and see all the cool stuff.

109
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,620
And now.

110
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:41,360
Fuck it.

111
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,319
Let's play D&D.

112
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,279
If we have to.

113
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,800
A strong start.

114
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,800
I see Amy is still salty about last time.

115
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,920
Just a little salty.

116
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,279
We pick right back up with Thea.

117
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,839
You have before you.

118
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,399
You have Dagger in hand.

119
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,120
And Nulara's dripping wet decaying body.

120
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,279
And she's pushing herself towards you.

121
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,040
With the knife in her.

122
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,800
She's like walking into the knife.

123
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:17,120
Yeah.

124
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,120
Oh, Nulara, why?

125
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:22,800
She doesn't answer.

126
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,920
And Flint and Lex, you hear kind of a panicked scuffling.

127
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,519
I don't know how Thea would be exactly vocalizing her concerns at this moment.

128
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:38,159
But you turn around and see Thea holding a dagger in hand.

129
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Panicking.

130
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:41,839
Is it bloody?

131
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,800
Is the dagger bloody?

132
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:48,160
You are still in your mind palace right now.

133
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,759
I'm talking to Flint and Lex.

134
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:51,759
Oh, you're not even talking to me anymore.

135
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:53,199
The dagger's not bloodied.

136
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,279
That makes two of us, Russ.

137
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,600
All right.

138
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,920
I'm just going to excuse myself in the room here.

139
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,399
This dagger ruins lives.

140
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:11,279
I look at Lex and kind of look back at Thea and say,

141
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,440
I'll go high, you go low.

142
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,520
Lex is the six foot one, you're the four foot one.

143
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,080
That's right.

144
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,960
Okay, cool.

145
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,760
I love it.

146
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,600
Describe to me this scene.

147
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,440
Yeah, you don't know what's happening with them.

148
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,240
You describe to me this scene as it plays out high and low.

149
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:40,800
I take a couple steps as a bit of a run and jump towards Thea who's holding this dagger.

150
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,680
With both hands, I go for the arm that's holding the dagger

151
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,120
and I pull it away from her as best I can.

152
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,600
And as far as it looks to you, this is her regular dagger.

153
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,440
Like, this isn't anything special.

154
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,680
This is just her holding a dagger.

155
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,120
I'm going to say, you can do this.

156
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,160
She's not of sound mind at the moment, so it seems to you.

157
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:06,960
Can't even see you, so.

158
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,080
Can't even really see you.

159
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:11,599
Thea, Lex, do you do anything at this moment?

160
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:12,879
You're going low, so I heard.

161
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:13,759
I'm going low.

162
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:17,680
I think I was more there as a spotter for this amazing jump, just in case.

163
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,039
Like, I went down kind of like in a crouch, just in case he needed an extra heft.

164
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:23,839
Perfect.

165
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:30,319
Thea, you feel Nulara's body press hard against you

166
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:32,399
and you're knocked back to the ground.

167
00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:33,279
Tell me what you do.

168
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,959
I probably scream.

169
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:46,800
Flint, Thea lets out a loud scream directed at you, so it seems.

170
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:54,319
Thea, you see the bile is dripping down on top of you and down all over you.

171
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:56,479
Flint, what do you do?

172
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:00,479
Well, I mean, it would be pretty obvious that she's just not looking at anything

173
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:01,279
in particular, right?

174
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:02,560
Like, she's not looking at me.

175
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,399
She's just kind of staring blankly.

176
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:06,959
Yeah, it's a very vacant, panicked look.

177
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,440
Okay, so I'll do that thing that older siblings always do,

178
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,560
where they put like their knees on top of your arms,

179
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,280
so you can't like move your arms.

180
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,480
And I'll like kind of shake her shoulders and say like,

181
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,800
Thea, Thea, wake up.

182
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Make a constitution save.

183
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,400
That is a saving throw.

184
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,920
Well, that's only a 13.

185
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,039
In your vision, the dagger has been knocked down to the ground

186
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:49,199
and Lara is seated on top of you and she's like grabbing your shoulders,

187
00:08:49,199 --> 00:08:50,559
not your neck or anything.

188
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,159
She's grabbing your shoulders and like hitting you into the ground.

189
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:59,839
And on the third or fourth hit, you come to and Flint's on top of you,

190
00:09:01,199 --> 00:09:02,159
yelling down at you.

191
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:08,000
And you look to the side and you see your dagger,

192
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,839
just a regular dagger, and you're back in the hall at Castle Waterdeep.

193
00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:15,600
Oh my god.

194
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:17,299
What?

195
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,059
Flint?

196
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:20,719
You're back?

197
00:09:20,719 --> 00:09:21,279
You awake?

198
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:21,919
Where did I go?

199
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,719
You were here the whole time.

200
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:27,519
Oh my god.

201
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:28,240
What did you see?

202
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:32,000
Is you had your dagger out and you were just kind of staring ahead

203
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,279
I don't know what was happening there.

204
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:35,279
Oh, you can get, you can get off me.

205
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:36,159
I'm think I'm fine.

206
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:36,639
Oh, right.

207
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:37,360
Yeah, sorry.

208
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:37,860
Sorry.

209
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:39,679
Hard to breathe.

210
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,679
I help her up.

211
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:49,600
I, I thought I heard something so I turned around

212
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,799
and when I turned back kNulara was in front of me

213
00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:03,360
and I had her, that fucking dagger.

214
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,800
Oh, the one that, that made her, right, right, right.

215
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,200
That one.

216
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Yep.

217
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:13,280
And I, I stabbed her with it.

218
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,240
And then all this black goo came out of her mouth

219
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,760
and then she was on top of me and slamming me into the ground.

220
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,480
And oh my god, it was terrifying.

221
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,440
I think she's pissed from beyond the grave that we lost Donnie.

222
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:30,240
Is this, I mean, did she say anything about Donnie?

223
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,120
She didn't say anything.

224
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,560
Oh, okay.

225
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:33,920
That's very unsettling then.

226
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,440
At least in your previous dream, she'd been saying things to you, right?

227
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,639
She didn't say anything.

228
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:45,440
Just barfed black gunk everywhere and.

229
00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:49,920
At this point, a few people have kind of come out of different rooms.

230
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,440
Oh man, I've made a scene.

231
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,480
Are looking and some of them are like, is everything, everything okay?

232
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:57,760
Yeah.

233
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,080
Yeah.

234
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:58,320
No.

235
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,600
Yeah, we're fine.

236
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Just a little, just a little day tears.

237
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,720
Don't worry about it.

238
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,800
Oh my god, day tears.

239
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,300
Okay.

240
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,240
If you need anything, please just call.

241
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,320
Yep.

242
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:12,640
Yeah.

243
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:12,960
Yeah.

244
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,360
We'll do.

245
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,680
Maybe we should ask Arvid about this too.

246
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:21,360
I was just going to say maybe this, I mean, this cannot keep happening.

247
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,000
In the day.

248
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,200
No.

249
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,800
Well, I mean before, at least when they happened at night, we knew that they,

250
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,800
it was a possibility then, but this is a whole, this is a game changer right here.

251
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:32,320
Good.

252
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,840
We, what we needed, our plate was not quite full enough.

253
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,480
So.

254
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:36,720
Yeah.

255
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:36,960
Yeah.

256
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,440
Just keep, it's like when you go up to the buffet

257
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,600
and you can find just a little more room on the plate.

258
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,640
Oh, please.

259
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,320
There is a Faerun all you can eat buffet.

260
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,120
Of course there is.

261
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,920
100% there is.

262
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,760
You guys have probably definitely been there.

263
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,560
Oh, definitely.

264
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:51,280
Probably.

265
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:55,679
I mean, I seem to remember other characters going to an all you can eat meat place.

266
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,199
It's true.

267
00:11:57,199 --> 00:11:57,519
Yep.

268
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:01,679
Lex, you just, you just, you just watching?

269
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,120
I think so.

270
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,639
Okay, cool.

271
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:05,360
That's fine.

272
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,559
These aren't people I know well and there's something real crazy going on.

273
00:12:09,199 --> 00:12:10,799
She's talking about her dead friend.

274
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,720
I'm going to go now.

275
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:14,240
You guys are fine.

276
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:19,279
We cut to the three of you bursting through Arvid's door.

277
00:12:21,839 --> 00:12:22,399
It opens.

278
00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:24,399
So you try and-

279
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:25,039
Is it a pneumatic?

280
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,079
A little bit.

281
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:27,600
He's got an upgrade.

282
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:29,759
He's not there.

283
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:30,259
Arvid!

284
00:12:31,839 --> 00:12:34,240
Is it still like the pharmacy kind of place?

285
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,439
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

286
00:12:35,439 --> 00:12:35,759
Sorry.

287
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:37,120
Yes, it is for, yes.

288
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,079
For Lex, it is a, a very sterile white pharmacy.

289
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:50,079
The step up behind you, as you call out Arvid, you hear a bark and his dog runs out.

290
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:53,039
I bend down and I go, hi puppy.

291
00:12:54,079 --> 00:13:03,039
Arvid, you hear footsteps follow in behind and he, you hear a, oh, you're home.

292
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:04,879
Hi, Arvid.

293
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:06,879
A dog.

294
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:10,179
Dog?

295
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,199
Yeah, a dog.

296
00:13:13,199 --> 00:13:13,759
A dog.

297
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:17,759
Like a dog?

298
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:20,480
No, no, no, like dog, D-A-W-G.

299
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,959
Like dog, a dog, that's you.

300
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:27,439
I missed your colloquialisms.

301
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:30,399
Working on new words.

302
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,959
That one didn't work out very well.

303
00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:36,000
But hey, at least you tried.

304
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:36,959
Welcome home.

305
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,799
You brought an interesting friend with you.

306
00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:43,519
Oh yeah, this is, this is Lex.

307
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,039
Hi, I'm Lex.

308
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:46,339
Pleasure.

309
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,759
It's, I think the pleasure is all mine.

310
00:13:49,759 --> 00:13:55,600
And I hold his hand just like a little bit longer than is strictly necessary for shaking.

311
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,919
Oh my, friends, forever friends at last.

312
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,319
I like your new friend.

313
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,179
Cool.

314
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:13,600
Arvid, we've, we've lost Donnie.

315
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:22,320
I mean, Leosin told me you had but one job.

316
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,360
No, there's always multiple jobs.

317
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,320
Also, it was a big thing here.

318
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,240
And I hand the collar to Arvid and say, can you do anything?

319
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:43,440
Can you somehow use this to find him or give us a clue to start looking in some direction?

320
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,159
Yeah, yes, yes.

321
00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:54,159
Let me, let me take this to the group of, of fine wizards who do sort of location.

322
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,120
He kind of waves his hands in the air.

323
00:14:58,159 --> 00:14:59,440
Like you just don't care.

324
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,759
And let's see if we can perhaps find Donnie.

325
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,279
You don't necessarily need to be part of this, but I can report back to you.

326
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,399
Is, is there anything else you require?

327
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,319
Um.

328
00:15:18,319 --> 00:15:19,679
I have something for you.

329
00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:21,839
Oh, go ahead.

330
00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:22,559
Keep going.

331
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:24,000
I can hear from the other room.

332
00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:30,079
Okay, this is an awkward thing to scream.

333
00:15:30,079 --> 00:15:35,360
So I'm having day terrors about killing Nulara.

334
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:35,860
Why?

335
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,279
I don't know.

336
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:39,779
No.

337
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,360
Seems like something you should figure out.

338
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:45,860
Okay.

339
00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:49,299
Flint?

340
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:53,360
Yeah, I mean, it'd be good to get to the bottom of that.

341
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,720
Plus, uh, now Ross, you said Leosan was going to help out with the other thing.

342
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,199
Callum Shan finding someone who's down there.

343
00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:01,699
Yes.

344
00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:06,159
Yeah, Arvid was to locate Donnie and now night terrors.

345
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:07,459
Perfect.

346
00:16:07,780 --> 00:16:10,420
Maybe he can have something to slow down your scaly scales.

347
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,019
Footsteps.

348
00:16:12,019 --> 00:16:13,860
Yeah, that'd be good.

349
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:19,060
You hear his footsteps coming back and he's got a small box that he has in his hand and

350
00:16:19,940 --> 00:16:21,860
night terrors are a terrible thing.

351
00:16:21,860 --> 00:16:23,540
I used to have them once before.

352
00:16:24,340 --> 00:16:25,139
Oh, no, no, no.

353
00:16:25,139 --> 00:16:28,500
She's got both night terrors and now day terrors.

354
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:29,540
This is a new development.

355
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:30,180
Oh, sorry.

356
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:30,680
Yes.

357
00:16:31,379 --> 00:16:32,500
Did you say day terrors?

358
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:34,100
I couldn't quite hear you from the other room.

359
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:35,860
You told me you could hear me from the other room.

360
00:16:35,860 --> 00:16:37,379
I have very good hearing.

361
00:16:39,940 --> 00:16:40,820
Of course you do.

362
00:16:40,820 --> 00:16:42,740
Look at those beautiful ears.

363
00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:44,019
They're so well formed.

364
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:46,740
Thank you.

365
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:47,620
Thank you very much.

366
00:16:48,740 --> 00:16:50,500
Just clean them this morning.

367
00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:52,580
I can tell they look really great.

368
00:16:53,460 --> 00:16:56,500
I kind of look at Thea with a little like, check this shit out.

369
00:16:58,419 --> 00:17:00,420
Weirdo on weirdo action here.

370
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:01,940
I like it.

371
00:17:03,379 --> 00:17:05,299
There's someone for everyone.

372
00:17:05,299 --> 00:17:06,099
I'm sorry.

373
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:08,980
I am not a dreamologist.

374
00:17:08,980 --> 00:17:12,099
What specifically do your terrors bring you?

375
00:17:12,819 --> 00:17:14,579
Sounds like a sully job.

376
00:17:14,579 --> 00:17:15,220
Totally.

377
00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:18,579
I was just going to say, what do your terrors bring you?

378
00:17:19,059 --> 00:17:20,180
Let me think.

379
00:17:20,180 --> 00:17:20,819
Fear.

380
00:17:20,819 --> 00:17:21,139
Wow.

381
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:25,299
Also, I'm in a completely different realm.

382
00:17:25,299 --> 00:17:27,059
I can't see my friends.

383
00:17:28,899 --> 00:17:33,619
Yeah, she goes kind of like catatonic while it's happening.

384
00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:34,180
Interesting.

385
00:17:34,180 --> 00:17:41,860
Have you had any run-ins with any mind-altering substances?

386
00:17:43,380 --> 00:17:43,700
No.

387
00:17:46,340 --> 00:17:46,660
Yes?

388
00:17:48,259 --> 00:17:48,580
No.

389
00:17:49,539 --> 00:17:55,700
I usually pause for effect and then usually the true answer comes out from my patience.

390
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:57,700
Well, I mean, I've smoked a little bit of weed,

391
00:17:58,740 --> 00:18:00,500
but I don't think that's mind-altering.

392
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:01,620
That would have to be a lot.

393
00:18:01,620 --> 00:18:02,820
Mood-altering.

394
00:18:02,819 --> 00:18:04,259
A lot of weed.

395
00:18:04,259 --> 00:18:05,619
Yeah, no, it's not that much.

396
00:18:05,619 --> 00:18:09,220
Yeah, you've never heard of that.

397
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:14,819
Listen, in that dream, I was stabbing Nulara with that fucked up dagger that she had.

398
00:18:14,819 --> 00:18:16,419
You have things you need to work through.

399
00:18:17,059 --> 00:18:20,419
No, I think that that dagger is somewhere.

400
00:18:21,619 --> 00:18:22,740
Like on your person?

401
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:25,779
Have you checked your pockets?

402
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:28,259
It's a pretty big dagger.

403
00:18:30,899 --> 00:18:32,179
I look in my bag of holding.

404
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:37,859
I do that fun thing where you have a small bag and it's obviously smaller than your arm,

405
00:18:37,859 --> 00:18:40,579
but then you put your arm like way down into the shoulder.

406
00:18:41,779 --> 00:18:45,299
You call for the dagger and it does not rise to your hand.

407
00:18:45,859 --> 00:18:46,099
Okay.

408
00:18:46,099 --> 00:18:51,859
Well, I don't have it, but it's like, Flynn, do you know what happened to that dagger?

409
00:18:51,859 --> 00:18:54,740
Did she have the dagger in her hand?

410
00:18:55,859 --> 00:18:57,139
She had it on her.

411
00:18:57,860 --> 00:19:03,460
Sorry, is this the same dagger Nulara was having concerns about that I was?

412
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:05,300
Yes, the murder, murder dagger.

413
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:06,580
Murder, murder dagger.

414
00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:08,020
The murder, murder dagger.

415
00:19:08,020 --> 00:19:09,380
Two murders.

416
00:19:09,380 --> 00:19:13,540
Also, if this is like a long game for us to get our characters into therapy,

417
00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:14,420
I'm all for it.

418
00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:18,500
Mental health is important in D&D and outside of D&D.

419
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:20,740
They've been through a lot of really traumatizing events.

420
00:19:21,460 --> 00:19:23,140
Sorry, yes, it's the same dagger.

421
00:19:23,140 --> 00:19:25,380
Yes, it's the same issue, different issue,

422
00:19:26,180 --> 00:19:29,540
less precise because you don't have the physical dagger.

423
00:19:29,540 --> 00:19:30,420
So you say...

424
00:19:36,260 --> 00:19:37,780
Well, this isn't habit.

425
00:19:37,780 --> 00:19:39,060
This is a new wrinkle.

426
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:45,860
I thought perhaps I tracked down who the owner of the dagger was,

427
00:19:45,860 --> 00:19:51,140
but probably not them.

428
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:55,940
Well, who did you think it was?

429
00:19:55,940 --> 00:20:00,100
Oh, a lich out far east.

430
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:00,580
South?

431
00:20:00,580 --> 00:20:01,540
They way, no.

432
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:05,140
Everything can't be in the same direction.

433
00:20:05,140 --> 00:20:06,100
That'd be too easy.

434
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:12,660
There was rumors of a dagger of epic power capabilities.

435
00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:14,660
Murder, murder.

436
00:20:15,620 --> 00:20:20,259
Murder, murder came along with it being that it is a dagger.

437
00:20:21,140 --> 00:20:23,380
Every time he says the word dagger, I look at his crotch.

438
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:30,020
I fucking love whatever's happening here.

439
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:32,340
Yeah, I'm on board with everything that's happening in this room.

440
00:20:32,340 --> 00:20:33,700
This is so great.

441
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,020
Are you trying to be sneaky about it or are you just doing it?

442
00:20:36,980 --> 00:20:40,020
I feel like they're all pretty involved in their conversations,

443
00:20:40,020 --> 00:20:42,660
so he's kind of being sneaky about it.

444
00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:43,460
Roll a stealth.

445
00:20:44,420 --> 00:20:48,420
Well, because yeah, I mean, straight up, he said dagger like 12 times.

446
00:20:48,420 --> 00:20:49,540
I rolled a nat one.

447
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,460
Nat one.

448
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:51,940
It doesn't matter.

449
00:20:51,940 --> 00:20:54,980
Are you like four inches away from his crotch now?

450
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:03,460
You think you're being super sneaky, but it is very obvious.

451
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:11,460
Flint and Thea see Arvid stop and pause between things that he's saying.

452
00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:11,960
Dagger.

453
00:21:13,220 --> 00:21:17,379
Then he looks down to see if perhaps he has something on his coat.

454
00:21:17,379 --> 00:21:18,819
He's like, no, that's clean.

455
00:21:19,539 --> 00:21:23,059
Oh my.

456
00:21:26,259 --> 00:21:28,259
So where was I?

457
00:21:28,980 --> 00:21:31,940
As much as I want to explore what's going on here.

458
00:21:33,299 --> 00:21:37,139
Okay, so it sounds like this dagger is a me problem.

459
00:21:38,339 --> 00:21:43,299
I'm telling you, I had been working on it since Nulara first brought it to me.

460
00:21:43,299 --> 00:21:44,899
Yes, and where is it now?

461
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:49,860
Well, not the dagger specifically, the lore behind the dagger,

462
00:21:50,740 --> 00:21:59,540
because the dagger was nowhere to be seen once possessions returned to Castle Waterdeep.

463
00:21:59,540 --> 00:22:06,980
There were strict instructions for someone to destroy the dagger, but it was not here.

464
00:22:06,980 --> 00:22:08,340
It's fucked up, man.

465
00:22:08,340 --> 00:22:09,220
Okay, fine.

466
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:14,019
If you find anything out, please let me know about the dagger.

467
00:22:14,019 --> 00:22:14,740
Of course.

468
00:22:14,740 --> 00:22:17,859
And maybe you can, I don't know.

469
00:22:20,660 --> 00:22:22,660
Well, I did have something for you.

470
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:24,259
Hold on.

471
00:22:24,259 --> 00:22:25,379
Oh, right. I totally forgot.

472
00:22:25,379 --> 00:22:28,500
Yes. One moment, please.

473
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:29,700
New implementation.

474
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:32,180
He goes over to a big wall where you see a bunch of tubes,

475
00:22:32,740 --> 00:22:36,980
puts Donnie's collar with a scroll rolled up inside of it,

476
00:22:36,980 --> 00:22:39,299
puts it into the wall and closes the door and it goes.

477
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:44,099
I'm always about a pneumatic, too.

478
00:22:44,099 --> 00:22:47,859
That will go to the wizards and I shall check on them momentarily.

479
00:22:47,859 --> 00:22:48,339
They will.

480
00:22:50,259 --> 00:22:56,099
Surely, if Donnie is within this realm, we will find him.

481
00:22:57,139 --> 00:22:57,619
Thank you.

482
00:22:59,460 --> 00:22:59,940
Thank you.

483
00:23:00,579 --> 00:23:01,779
And now for the present.

484
00:23:02,659 --> 00:23:03,700
He hands it to Thea.

485
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:06,259
Sorry, Flint and Lex.

486
00:23:07,220 --> 00:23:09,619
This is just for Thea.

487
00:23:11,379 --> 00:23:14,420
Like he said Lex, so like sultry.

488
00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:15,619
Lex.

489
00:23:16,819 --> 00:23:18,019
I open the box.

490
00:23:19,539 --> 00:23:22,420
Inside you see a smaller box.

491
00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:27,059
Inside of that, another box.

492
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:30,019
And then a bigger box.

493
00:23:30,019 --> 00:23:30,819
Somehow magic.

494
00:23:30,819 --> 00:23:31,779
I mean, he's a wizard.

495
00:23:31,779 --> 00:23:32,420
It's amazing.

496
00:23:33,859 --> 00:23:35,940
You see an amulet.

497
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:37,299
What color is it?

498
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:39,619
Turquoise.

499
00:23:40,339 --> 00:23:43,539
You see a turquoise amulet that has

500
00:23:47,539 --> 00:23:49,779
carvings around the perimeter of it.

501
00:23:49,779 --> 00:23:54,819
You look closely at it and they are of weaponry and shields,

502
00:23:55,460 --> 00:23:58,339
rough images of people in battle.

503
00:24:00,339 --> 00:24:02,099
Oh my god, Arvid, it's so pretty.

504
00:24:03,060 --> 00:24:07,380
I saw the color and it just said Thea to me.

505
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:09,220
Like you thought of me?

506
00:24:11,220 --> 00:24:13,140
Well, in a sense.

507
00:24:15,860 --> 00:24:17,940
But like it didn't actually talk to you.

508
00:24:17,940 --> 00:24:20,180
I mean, doesn't everything talk?

509
00:24:20,180 --> 00:24:24,740
Well, no, because what I'm worried about is that fucking dagger does talk to you.

510
00:24:25,460 --> 00:24:27,540
When I say dagger, do you look at his crotch?

511
00:24:27,779 --> 00:24:32,019
No, but I'm like just like so unhappy about this whole thing.

512
00:24:32,019 --> 00:24:33,139
He's giving you jewelry.

513
00:24:33,139 --> 00:24:40,579
Like I guess I've really like thought maybe I thought maybe I'd met someone special.

514
00:24:40,579 --> 00:24:44,579
It seems like I really misread the relationship the two of you have.

515
00:24:48,180 --> 00:24:54,180
This is for I can't even remember.

516
00:24:54,180 --> 00:25:00,019
I'm so distracted by your friend who's now staring dagger eyes at me.

517
00:25:01,220 --> 00:25:03,460
Oh, this is flirting.

518
00:25:04,019 --> 00:25:07,539
This is the first time flirting's ever happened really on this podcast.

519
00:25:08,259 --> 00:25:11,460
And it is weird AF, my friends.

520
00:25:11,460 --> 00:25:14,580
I am loving it.

521
00:25:14,580 --> 00:25:15,539
Oh my god.

522
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,180
Okay, so does it do anything special?

523
00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:20,980
Oh, yes.

524
00:25:24,180 --> 00:25:27,620
Okay, good.

525
00:25:28,340 --> 00:25:28,980
Good to know.

526
00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:30,500
I'll just figure it out on my own.

527
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:31,860
No, I can tell you.

528
00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:37,060
Unlike the last one where I didn't tell you what each of the potions did because

529
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,340
that was fun.

530
00:25:38,340 --> 00:25:40,100
Rufus here had to go out.

531
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:41,940
I've renamed him.

532
00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:44,740
I can't recall what I named him previously.

533
00:25:44,740 --> 00:25:46,980
It's an affliction I have.

534
00:25:47,940 --> 00:25:49,620
I can't remember animals names.

535
00:25:51,779 --> 00:25:53,779
It's very specific affliction.

536
00:25:53,779 --> 00:25:54,740
I'm working on it.

537
00:25:55,700 --> 00:26:03,059
The amulet is an amulet that will help you during combat.

538
00:26:05,059 --> 00:26:07,539
As you see around there, it might have given a clue.

539
00:26:10,259 --> 00:26:17,460
It will allow you to move a little swifter and provide an extra

540
00:26:17,460 --> 00:26:23,700
drive into your opponents.

541
00:26:24,819 --> 00:26:26,740
Out of game, it gives you an extra attack.

542
00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:28,500
Oh my god.

543
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:30,259
Is it my birthday?

544
00:26:30,259 --> 00:26:32,340
What is happening?

545
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:33,299
You guys.

546
00:26:36,740 --> 00:26:40,660
Totally made up for me probably getting that fucking murder, murder dagger.

547
00:26:40,660 --> 00:26:42,019
No one said you had it.

548
00:26:42,019 --> 00:26:42,519
Yet.

549
00:26:44,019 --> 00:26:47,299
Just don't ask Russ when he was originally supposed to give it to you.

550
00:26:47,299 --> 00:26:48,740
Fuck off, Tom.

551
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:51,139
Oh, I'm sorry, was I supposed to have this earlier?

552
00:26:52,099 --> 00:26:54,180
Maybe when we were fighting Tiamat.

553
00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:57,460
Maybe we'll talk about this in the down time, which you can go check out at

554
00:26:57,460 --> 00:26:59,539
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cats.

555
00:26:59,539 --> 00:27:00,899
Yes, this is not over.

556
00:27:00,899 --> 00:27:02,740
Marital disputes happen over there.

557
00:27:04,659 --> 00:27:05,940
Come join us.

558
00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:07,059
I really, you know what?

559
00:27:07,059 --> 00:27:11,379
Nothing makes me more happy to maritally dispute something is when I know that

560
00:27:11,379 --> 00:27:15,859
a bunch of other people are listening in with their own thoughts, feelings and judgments.

561
00:27:16,660 --> 00:27:18,020
Anyways, back in scene.

562
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:20,260
Arvid, thank you.

563
00:27:21,060 --> 00:27:21,860
What is this for?

564
00:27:22,580 --> 00:27:27,860
Well, I told you it makes you move faster in combat.

565
00:27:27,860 --> 00:27:31,860
No, I mean, why did you, why do you have this present for me?

566
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:36,900
Oh, well, I might have been supposed to give it to you a while ago,

567
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:39,380
but it's no time like the present.

568
00:27:40,980 --> 00:27:43,380
This was supposed to be given to me before Tiamat, wasn't it?

569
00:27:43,860 --> 00:27:46,980
Hey, who puts timelines on such things?

570
00:27:48,820 --> 00:27:50,740
I mean, the important part is, is that you have it now.

571
00:27:50,740 --> 00:27:52,180
I have it now.

572
00:27:52,180 --> 00:27:53,540
Thank you so much.

573
00:27:53,540 --> 00:27:58,100
And I will, and I take it out of the box and I put it on.

574
00:27:58,820 --> 00:28:02,100
Do I have to say anything like, Amulet, go.

575
00:28:03,460 --> 00:28:04,500
Or like, on.

576
00:28:05,540 --> 00:28:08,020
You don't have to say anything, my dear.

577
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:13,140
It's just, you just must first spend some time with it, get to know it.

578
00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:14,660
I slip it in my bra.

579
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:19,620
Okay, yeah, that's, that's perfectly fine.

580
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:23,780
You must attune yourself to it and then, whoop, extra attack.

581
00:28:24,660 --> 00:28:25,540
Will it make that sound?

582
00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:30,020
If you do, each time you make the extra attack, yes.

583
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:32,820
Do I get a bonus of some kind?

584
00:28:34,020 --> 00:28:35,780
If I remember to use the Amulet.

585
00:28:36,660 --> 00:28:41,860
You may be granting your enemy a disadvantage

586
00:28:41,860 --> 00:28:44,660
if you catch them off guard with the boop sound.

587
00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:49,060
That's just a fancy way to say if I, if I have a sneak attack.

588
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:53,300
Well, Arvid, thank you.

589
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:55,460
I, I really do appreciate it.

590
00:28:56,180 --> 00:28:57,380
Of course, of course.

591
00:28:57,380 --> 00:28:59,780
Now tell me your, your story, sailor.

592
00:29:02,180 --> 00:29:04,340
Carolyn's not expecting that.

593
00:29:04,340 --> 00:29:08,260
Also, Flynn, you're not getting your cream for your rash.

594
00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:14,259
And I move over and just like, take a closer look at your Amulet and we start like.

595
00:29:14,259 --> 00:29:14,980
Did you just like.

596
00:29:14,980 --> 00:29:15,460
Talking about.

597
00:29:15,460 --> 00:29:17,220
Look down my shirt by any chance.

598
00:29:17,220 --> 00:29:18,339
Because she did say.

599
00:29:18,339 --> 00:29:18,980
Oh, okay.

600
00:29:18,980 --> 00:29:19,619
Well, we're close.

601
00:29:19,619 --> 00:29:20,740
They're very snuggle.

602
00:29:20,740 --> 00:29:21,240
Yeah.

603
00:29:23,299 --> 00:29:25,940
Well, I'm about to go on a very long journey.

604
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:27,059
Really?

605
00:29:27,059 --> 00:29:28,180
To the Baldrick Mountains.

606
00:29:30,660 --> 00:29:33,460
I just laughed and fogged up my glasses completely.

607
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:37,940
Yeah, I'll be leaving probably tomorrow.

608
00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:40,099
Leaving town tomorrow, so.

609
00:29:41,619 --> 00:29:41,859
Oh, such.

610
00:29:41,859 --> 00:29:44,819
I guess it'll just be my last, last night in Waterdeep.

611
00:29:44,819 --> 00:29:45,539
Such a pity.

612
00:29:45,539 --> 00:29:47,859
The Baldrick Mountains are very far away.

613
00:29:48,819 --> 00:29:49,779
Yes, yes.

614
00:29:49,779 --> 00:29:51,220
I have to go find my.

615
00:29:54,019 --> 00:29:54,500
Father?

616
00:29:57,379 --> 00:29:58,259
Question mark?

617
00:29:59,140 --> 00:29:59,460
Well.

618
00:30:02,259 --> 00:30:02,980
More my.

619
00:30:04,579 --> 00:30:05,299
Creator.

620
00:30:06,420 --> 00:30:07,379
Intrigue.

621
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:11,140
Yes, I have many fascinating stories to tell.

622
00:30:11,779 --> 00:30:15,539
Well, once you have wrapped up for the day, perhaps you.

623
00:30:15,539 --> 00:30:19,059
I would have some things that would help you on your journey.

624
00:30:19,940 --> 00:30:22,579
You could come back and and visit.

625
00:30:23,140 --> 00:30:25,299
That's very kind of you, Arvid.

626
00:30:25,299 --> 00:30:26,500
I will be back.

627
00:30:27,859 --> 00:30:28,819
Later today.

628
00:30:31,299 --> 00:30:31,859
Excellent.

629
00:30:35,140 --> 00:30:35,779
Okay, then.

630
00:30:35,779 --> 00:30:38,660
Are you two?

631
00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:40,980
Ready or is there?

632
00:30:40,980 --> 00:30:42,500
Oh yeah, no, I'm totally ready.

633
00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:46,259
I said thanks Arvid and I'm like walking out.

634
00:30:48,740 --> 00:30:49,379
So.

635
00:30:49,379 --> 00:30:50,019
Arvid.

636
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:51,539
Arvid, hey.

637
00:30:52,980 --> 00:30:56,500
Well, I thought maybe with the jewelry, something.

638
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:57,379
Oh, no.

639
00:30:57,379 --> 00:30:58,019
Was happening.

640
00:30:59,299 --> 00:31:00,579
Arvid and I are just pals.

641
00:31:02,180 --> 00:31:02,500
Okay.

642
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:06,019
They got off to like a weird start.

643
00:31:06,019 --> 00:31:06,819
It was a whole thing.

644
00:31:06,819 --> 00:31:08,900
I mean, so did we, but like in a good way.

645
00:31:09,539 --> 00:31:11,220
Oh, I could feel it.

646
00:31:11,220 --> 00:31:11,539
Yeah.

647
00:31:13,460 --> 00:31:17,059
The word electric comes to mind and dagger for some reason.

648
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:21,220
Yeah, what was with that much more sexual now than it was before.

649
00:31:21,779 --> 00:31:24,259
So where are you two off to now?

650
00:31:24,259 --> 00:31:24,900
You need to.

651
00:31:25,859 --> 00:31:28,740
Get the fuck out of here so you can hang out with Arvid.

652
00:31:28,740 --> 00:31:30,900
Get supplies or yeah.

653
00:31:30,900 --> 00:31:33,460
Yeah, lots of stuff to do.

654
00:31:33,460 --> 00:31:34,900
We gotta go do that stuff.

655
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:38,259
So I'm gonna go get in tune with my amulet maybe.

656
00:31:40,820 --> 00:31:43,780
Gonna go hit up the smithy.

657
00:31:43,780 --> 00:31:45,060
See if I can work on anything.

658
00:31:47,620 --> 00:31:48,740
You have fun there Lex.

659
00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:56,180
Well, thank you and thank you for getting me out of prison all those weeks ago and for.

660
00:31:57,220 --> 00:31:58,259
For everything.

661
00:31:58,259 --> 00:32:00,660
I really wish you luck finding Donnie.

662
00:32:00,660 --> 00:32:02,180
It's a real tragedy.

663
00:32:02,180 --> 00:32:11,140
If I see him or hear any word of anything about him on my journey, I'll send word to you.

664
00:32:15,779 --> 00:32:16,980
I guess this is goodbye.

665
00:32:18,180 --> 00:32:18,980
I guess it is.

666
00:32:21,220 --> 00:32:23,940
Can I, and I like put my hands out for a hug.

667
00:32:23,940 --> 00:32:24,900
Like, can I?

668
00:32:26,259 --> 00:32:27,620
And I, of course.

669
00:32:28,340 --> 00:32:29,140
Yeah, hug it up.

670
00:32:29,140 --> 00:32:29,620
Hug.

671
00:32:32,259 --> 00:32:34,259
Yeah, I want to end on some of this hug action too.

672
00:32:34,259 --> 00:32:36,580
Tall person, tall person, crotch level.

673
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:39,620
Yeah, he's four feet.

674
00:32:39,620 --> 00:32:41,060
He's slightly above crotch.

675
00:32:42,020 --> 00:32:43,620
Slightly above crotch level.

676
00:32:44,259 --> 00:32:44,740
That's math.

677
00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:56,420
We have a nice hug.

678
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,940
Interlude, interlude.

679
00:33:01,940 --> 00:33:04,340
This is a completely original interlude song.

680
00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:06,500
Don't sue us, Dosnie.

681
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:07,940
It's gonna be okay.

682
00:33:07,940 --> 00:33:09,700
Welcome to the middle everybody.

683
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:10,740
How you doing today?

684
00:33:11,620 --> 00:33:16,020
Super great episode where we totally resolved all the things you wanted resolved.

685
00:33:16,020 --> 00:33:18,020
Tune in next week for more.

686
00:33:18,020 --> 00:33:18,740
But first.

687
00:33:18,740 --> 00:33:20,500
When Russ puts us back in a maze.

688
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:23,700
Where we all have really great stories where we reveal a whole bunch of really

689
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:26,180
great things is over on our other podcast.

690
00:33:26,180 --> 00:33:27,780
Which is called Facing Fate.

691
00:33:27,779 --> 00:33:30,019
Did you know we had another podcast you might have?

692
00:33:30,019 --> 00:33:31,220
Because we mention it sometimes.

693
00:33:31,220 --> 00:33:31,940
I knew.

694
00:33:31,940 --> 00:33:32,899
I also knew.

695
00:33:32,899 --> 00:33:34,740
I had not heard that.

696
00:33:36,579 --> 00:33:37,779
Hearing this for the first time?

697
00:33:37,779 --> 00:33:40,740
Thank you to two of you for paying attention to what we do.

698
00:33:40,740 --> 00:33:41,460
Just kidding.

699
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:42,500
I know all about it.

700
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:44,099
I listened to the last episode.

701
00:33:44,099 --> 00:33:49,059
And by listen to the last episode, I mean I skipped through all the scary parts.

702
00:33:50,980 --> 00:33:53,139
Because I wanted to hear the end.

703
00:33:53,139 --> 00:33:54,259
With her fingers in her ears.

704
00:33:54,259 --> 00:33:56,339
That's a little teaser about the content.

705
00:33:56,340 --> 00:33:58,260
It's pretty scary.

706
00:33:58,260 --> 00:33:59,460
It's kind of spooky.

707
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:01,380
It's okay you guys.

708
00:34:01,380 --> 00:34:02,020
It's okay.

709
00:34:02,020 --> 00:34:03,060
So Facing Fate.

710
00:34:03,780 --> 00:34:05,460
We're just going to give you the elevator pitch now.

711
00:34:05,460 --> 00:34:08,500
We want you to go listen to it because we're so very proud of it.

712
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:09,620
The first season.

713
00:34:09,620 --> 00:34:10,900
Every season is going to be different.

714
00:34:11,700 --> 00:34:12,500
Set that up there.

715
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:14,420
So new characters, new story, new everything.

716
00:34:14,420 --> 00:34:16,260
But the first season is on the moon.

717
00:34:17,220 --> 00:34:18,180
What?

718
00:34:18,180 --> 00:34:19,140
What?

719
00:34:19,140 --> 00:34:20,340
So sci-fi.

720
00:34:20,340 --> 00:34:21,700
It's got thrills.

721
00:34:21,700 --> 00:34:24,900
It's got scaries that keep Carla up at night.

722
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:26,500
Especially when we were playing it.

723
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:28,340
Because I'd leave it on real good cliffhangers.

724
00:34:29,460 --> 00:34:30,980
It's like based in the real world.

725
00:34:30,980 --> 00:34:32,099
So we're playing real people.

726
00:34:32,660 --> 00:34:36,180
Except, you know, all the horror sci-fi stuff that isn't quite real.

727
00:34:36,180 --> 00:34:38,019
But we're like all human people.

728
00:34:38,019 --> 00:34:38,579
Yeah.

729
00:34:38,579 --> 00:34:40,340
That isn't real yet, Roz.

730
00:34:41,139 --> 00:34:41,940
Isn't real yet.

731
00:34:41,940 --> 00:34:42,260
Yeah.

732
00:34:42,260 --> 00:34:42,579
No.

733
00:34:42,579 --> 00:34:47,139
There's a lot of foreshadowing in here that if it comes true, we might be in trouble.

734
00:34:48,019 --> 00:34:49,780
Or we'll know exactly what to do.

735
00:34:49,780 --> 00:34:50,900
Oh, that's true too.

736
00:34:50,900 --> 00:34:51,380
Yeah.

737
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:51,780
Yeah.

738
00:34:51,860 --> 00:34:56,820
So if you want to know what to do in the near dystopian future where we're living on the moon,

739
00:34:56,820 --> 00:34:59,460
go check it out at facingfake.com.

You can binge it and get ready for season two.

746
00:35:10,260 --> 00:35:11,700
Only 10 episodes.

747
00:35:11,700 --> 00:35:12,740

you get it before everybody else.

752
00:35:25,540 --> 00:35:30,740
It's one of the joys of joining the Dumb Dragon Productions crew.

753
00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:34,500
I find it amazing we were able to tell a story in just 10 episodes

754
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:36,660
because it took us more than that to get out of that maze.

755
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:38,100
Yeah.

756
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:40,100
It took you seven episodes.

757
00:35:40,100 --> 00:35:41,860
It feels like longer.

758
00:35:41,860 --> 00:35:43,860
It took you seven episodes.

759
00:35:44,500 --> 00:35:45,780
Seventeen episodes?

760
00:35:45,780 --> 00:35:47,380
Are you missing some letters?

761
00:35:47,780 --> 00:35:49,460
Seventeen episodes?

762
00:35:49,460 --> 00:35:49,780
Yeah.

763
00:35:49,780 --> 00:35:52,980
We're not even going to get into this because this will be a whole other interlude.

764
00:35:52,980 --> 00:35:53,860
Go check it out.

765
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:54,820
Facing Fate.

00:36:04,180 --> 00:36:05,539
And we're going to announce it next week.

770
00:36:06,579 --> 00:36:06,820
Okay.

771
00:36:06,820 --> 00:36:07,700
Thanks everybody.

772
00:36:07,700 --> 00:36:08,099
Love you.

773
00:36:08,099 --> 00:36:08,579
Bye.

774
00:36:08,579 --> 00:36:08,900
Bye.

775
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:18,579
The three of you part ways.

776
00:36:18,579 --> 00:36:22,660
Flint and Thea, I assume you have rooms here.

777
00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:26,660
I just assume we just have standing chambers.

778
00:36:26,660 --> 00:36:27,059
Yep.

779
00:36:27,059 --> 00:36:27,300
Yeah.

780
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:28,980
I would assume there's some sort of quarters.

781
00:36:28,980 --> 00:36:31,220
For the decimators of dragons.

782
00:36:31,220 --> 00:36:36,500
You head there to go rest, clean up, get whatever you need sorted.

783
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:41,460
I got to rub the smell of sex off of me because of what was going on in that room.

784
00:36:41,460 --> 00:36:42,500
I'll wash that off.

785
00:36:43,699 --> 00:36:48,260
Lex, where do you go and what do you do?

786
00:36:48,260 --> 00:36:52,739
We don't have to necessarily go there.

787
00:36:52,739 --> 00:36:56,579
Maybe you do other something before we close the scene on that.

788
00:36:56,579 --> 00:36:58,179
I don't want to seem desperate.

789
00:36:58,179 --> 00:36:58,659
No, yeah.

790
00:36:58,659 --> 00:36:59,219
He said later.

791
00:36:59,219 --> 00:37:02,579
Because you said later tonight and then like you turn around five minutes later

792
00:37:02,579 --> 00:37:02,980
and you're like.

793
00:37:05,139 --> 00:37:05,940
It's later.

794
00:37:06,019 --> 00:37:07,940
So I.

795
00:37:07,940 --> 00:37:09,300
Ditch those losers.

796
00:37:10,659 --> 00:37:13,539
I feel like I've been traveling for a long time.

797
00:37:13,539 --> 00:37:16,740
So maybe I go like clean up somewhere.

798
00:37:18,980 --> 00:37:20,579
Gussy myself up.

799
00:37:20,579 --> 00:37:21,220
Sure.

800
00:37:21,220 --> 00:37:22,099
Yeah, absolutely.

801
00:37:22,659 --> 00:37:23,059
I don't.

802
00:37:23,059 --> 00:37:24,500
Is there bath houses?

803
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:25,860
We ever done that before?

804
00:37:25,860 --> 00:37:28,900
I don't know that I'd get a room in an inn because I feel like I might have

805
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:30,019
somewhere to stay tonight.

806
00:37:32,019 --> 00:37:32,519
Whoa.

807
00:37:33,780 --> 00:37:34,099
Sure.

808
00:37:34,099 --> 00:37:36,819
Yeah, there's yeah, bath houses.

809
00:37:36,819 --> 00:37:37,219
Sure.

810
00:37:37,219 --> 00:37:44,659
There's that you go clean up and you are I mean you get some looks

811
00:37:44,659 --> 00:37:47,699
because of your self.

812
00:37:47,699 --> 00:37:50,259
Yeah, yeah, because of the whole thing going on.

813
00:37:51,059 --> 00:37:56,980
Giant modeled skin held together with stitches, you know, that whole thing.

814
00:37:57,940 --> 00:37:59,699
And then you head back out.

815
00:37:59,699 --> 00:38:00,900
It's kind of around.

816
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:02,659
Yeah, it's probably I don't know how.

817
00:38:02,659 --> 00:38:04,259
How long does it take to use a bath house?

818
00:38:04,899 --> 00:38:06,819
20 minutes an hour.

819
00:38:06,819 --> 00:38:07,460
I don't know.

820
00:38:07,460 --> 00:38:08,420
Say an hour for.

821
00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:09,219
I have a drink.

822
00:38:09,219 --> 00:38:10,259
Maybe I eat some food.

823
00:38:10,259 --> 00:38:10,659
I don't know.

824
00:38:10,659 --> 00:38:11,539
You soak in there.

825
00:38:12,739 --> 00:38:13,460
Have a steam.

826
00:38:15,139 --> 00:38:16,099
You take your time.

827
00:38:16,099 --> 00:38:17,460
You get cleaned up.

828
00:38:17,460 --> 00:38:19,059
You head back out into the streets.

829
00:38:19,859 --> 00:38:23,859
You're headed back towards Castle Water Deep when you hear a.

830
00:38:24,980 --> 00:38:29,460
What sounds to you like a cry for help down an alleyway?

831
00:38:30,179 --> 00:38:32,420
Well, I go see what's happening.

832
00:38:32,659 --> 00:38:42,500
You run down the alley and turn a corner and you see three men kicking down at someone on the ground.

833
00:38:43,219 --> 00:38:43,779
What are you?

834
00:38:43,779 --> 00:38:45,059
Hey, what are you doing?

835
00:38:45,059 --> 00:38:47,460
And I like run towards them.

836
00:38:47,460 --> 00:38:48,899
They hear you yell out.

837
00:38:48,899 --> 00:38:50,420
Look up and say, let's get out of here.

838
00:38:50,420 --> 00:38:50,899
Go, go.

839
00:38:52,099 --> 00:38:53,139
They run off.

840
00:38:53,139 --> 00:38:54,420
They keep running down the alley.

841
00:38:55,699 --> 00:38:58,420
Do you pursue or do you stop at the person they were kicking in?

842
00:38:59,059 --> 00:39:01,299
How does the person look?

843
00:39:01,940 --> 00:39:03,220
Doesn't look very good.

844
00:39:03,220 --> 00:39:04,500
It looks like they've been.

845
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:06,100
They are currently unconscious.

846
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:10,100
Blood is dripping pretty much everywhere.

847
00:39:10,740 --> 00:39:11,860
They look very bad.

848
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:13,539
Then I will stop.

849
00:39:15,140 --> 00:39:22,100
You see the three run away and you kneel down towards the male who's dressed in.

850
00:39:23,220 --> 00:39:26,019
He's dressed in commoners' clothings.

851
00:39:26,019 --> 00:39:28,900
He doesn't look like he himself is very well off.

852
00:39:29,860 --> 00:39:35,380
And he kind of coughs as you do what you do.

853
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:47,460
So I'm going to kneel beside him and try to see if I can tell where he is most injured.

854
00:39:48,180 --> 00:39:51,780
Just with like a cursory kind of pat down or it's maybe obvious.

855
00:39:51,780 --> 00:39:52,180
Sure.

856
00:39:52,259 --> 00:39:58,500
Yeah, you check him out and his rib cage has been almost entirely crushed in.

857
00:39:59,139 --> 00:40:05,379
He's got large goose eggs and welts across a couple of spots on his head.

858
00:40:06,019 --> 00:40:09,859
You can tell he's got a broken arm at the very least.

859
00:40:09,859 --> 00:40:11,059
Possibly a broken leg.

860
00:40:13,379 --> 00:40:13,699
Okay.

861
00:40:13,699 --> 00:40:20,099
So I'm going to put a hand on his head and then one on his midsection by those crushed ribs

862
00:40:20,339 --> 00:40:28,019
and I am going to channel lay on hands and try to heal him.

863
00:40:28,659 --> 00:40:35,860
So you put your hand on his head and his midsection and then describe to me again

864
00:40:35,860 --> 00:40:41,940
your process and what it looks like as your life force transfers into this man.

865
00:40:42,819 --> 00:40:45,460
Sure, and so this is a bit more intense than when it was just

866
00:40:45,460 --> 00:40:51,460
what I tried, like that kind of basic trying with Flint on the wagon.

867
00:40:52,099 --> 00:40:59,139
So hand on head, hand on midsection, eyes closed, like my full concentration.

868
00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:06,579
So totally vulnerable at this point to anyone who might want to attack me.

869
00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:13,300
And I sort of just gather what feels like, but of course I don't see this,

870
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:20,420
but like feels like a pool of yellow light in my chest that I then like channel out

871
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:24,580
through my hands into this injured person.

872
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:33,460
This energy leaves you and you feel below your hands, the bones begin to crack back

873
00:41:33,460 --> 00:41:37,780
into place and the muscles begin to pop back where they should be.

874
00:41:38,660 --> 00:41:48,900
It's a long process and you yourself begin to feel his wounds almost beginning to transfer to

875
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:58,820
you. You feel strain on your ribs and head and limbs as you are doing this. Do you continue?

876
00:42:00,580 --> 00:42:00,980
I do.

877
00:42:00,980 --> 00:42:08,820
I feel like once I am in this state and I have maybe never been this deep into this state before,

878
00:42:12,260 --> 00:42:18,340
it is the pain of what is happening to my body is sort of happening like

879
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:23,059
outside of my awareness or I'm like somewhat aware that it is happening,

880
00:42:23,059 --> 00:42:25,699
but really I am just concentrating on this yellow light.

881
00:42:31,059 --> 00:42:40,900
The energy continues to transfer into the man. Perseus sensing that things are happening,

882
00:42:41,860 --> 00:42:46,820
climbs up and out of your pocket, runs down your shoulder and to the ground and

883
00:42:47,699 --> 00:42:52,820
you can't see him, but they are looking back up at you.

884
00:42:52,820 --> 00:43:01,059
And the man takes a deep breath. You feel that breath as

885
00:43:03,220 --> 00:43:06,500
the man's wounds have entirely healed.

886
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:14,420
The energy stops flowing and you feel yourself crumple to the ground beside him.

887
00:43:18,420 --> 00:43:19,940
Perseus rushes to you

888
00:43:23,140 --> 00:43:30,500
tending to some of the wounds that have opened up in your own body. You open your eyes and you

889
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:38,980
look down and the skin has begun to peel back at the seams of where your limbs and

890
00:43:39,219 --> 00:43:45,300
various different parts come together worse than you've ever seen them before.

891
00:43:53,940 --> 00:43:58,980
I think that I would just like, you know, this is my very best friend in the whole world,

892
00:43:58,980 --> 00:44:04,179
Perseus, and I just kind of like stroke his back and say like, it's okay, it's okay,

893
00:44:04,179 --> 00:44:11,699
I'm okay, and maybe even try and give him a little of that soothing energy that I

894
00:44:12,259 --> 00:44:19,940
shot Leosin in that handshake earlier, so which is just like the tiniest lowest level

895
00:44:19,940 --> 00:44:21,460
feeling just to calm him.

896
00:44:23,859 --> 00:44:31,940
You lay with Perseus and this man in the alleyway for quite a while until you

897
00:44:32,579 --> 00:44:41,619
hear footsteps walking up the alleyway and you sense them come up behind you

898
00:44:42,659 --> 00:44:45,220
and you feel yourself being picked up.

899
00:44:49,700 --> 00:44:58,820
The man, you look down, you see him, he is not conscious but he is completely healed.

900
00:44:59,780 --> 00:45:05,460
He's got blood stains on his clothes and on his skin but you can tell that you have brought him

901
00:45:05,460 --> 00:45:12,660
back from death where he would have been. You look to the side and you see Arvid

902
00:45:13,380 --> 00:45:20,820
and he picks you up and walks back with you to his office.

903
00:45:23,380 --> 00:45:27,140
We'll get you cleaned up here.

904
00:45:29,780 --> 00:45:31,059
I told you I'd see you later.

905
00:45:33,220 --> 00:45:35,140
That you did.

906
00:45:51,860 --> 00:45:57,380
We go back to Flint and Thea who are back in Leosin's office and he says,

907
00:45:57,380 --> 00:46:05,140
well, we do have someone down in Calum Shan. I almost forgot where you were going.

908
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:10,740
You're jet set individuals, aren't you? Calum Shan, that's where we're going.

909
00:46:11,380 --> 00:46:12,740
Yes, still want to?

910
00:46:12,740 --> 00:46:14,180
Yes, absolutely.

911
00:46:15,780 --> 00:46:16,980
I just thought you were going to say it.

912
00:46:19,619 --> 00:46:24,980
I like the element of surprise. I'm working on my delivery. Too much?

913
00:46:24,980 --> 00:46:26,019
No, you're doing great.

914
00:46:26,019 --> 00:46:29,380
Great, perfect. I mean, it's a new look for you.

915
00:46:31,460 --> 00:46:35,780
I was told that I was too by the books. I had to be a little bit more of a storyteller.

916
00:46:36,980 --> 00:46:39,139
You've been going to like Toastmasters and stuff?

917
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:41,000
Yes.

918
00:46:44,820 --> 00:46:47,940
God, nothing kills a conversation like bringing up Toastmasters.

919
00:46:50,980 --> 00:46:52,579
Sorry, Toastmasters, sorry about that.

920
00:46:53,539 --> 00:47:00,900
Yes. Here's the thing, Calum Shan, very far away. The person you are going to meet,

921
00:47:01,699 --> 00:47:06,500
they go by the name of Yenbul. Might get the pronunciation wrong,

922
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:10,579
not entirely sure, but that's who we are aware of.

923
00:47:10,579 --> 00:47:12,259
Yenbul?

924
00:47:12,259 --> 00:47:18,500
Yes, Y-E-N-B-U-L, Yenbul. We'll find out when we meet them.

925
00:47:19,299 --> 00:47:20,980
So you have not met this person?

926
00:47:21,059 --> 00:47:28,340
I mean, it's been a while since they've been here. I'm only super new here

927
00:47:28,340 --> 00:47:29,860
in the grand scheme of things.

928
00:47:32,260 --> 00:47:38,900
So yes, mostly written correspondence since they've been down there quite a while.

929
00:47:41,539 --> 00:47:44,900
Now, Calum Shan, like I said, very far away.

930
00:47:45,460 --> 00:47:47,380
There are a couple ways we can get you there.

931
00:47:47,460 --> 00:47:53,780
One is by teleportation, quick, simple. We can get you into Calumport, which is the capital,

932
00:47:54,820 --> 00:48:00,660
where Yenbul is supposed to be. We can tell them, send ahead of you to meet you,

933
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:05,300
and then hopefully figure out where this temple, where the temple is.

934
00:48:05,300 --> 00:48:08,820
Hopefully, it's very obvious. I'm thinking it might not be.

935
00:48:11,220 --> 00:48:12,340
Option B,

936
00:48:12,420 --> 00:48:19,220
option B, oh, hiccup with the teleport, getting you back.

937
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:27,700
We don't have quite the same system set up down there as we do here,

938
00:48:27,700 --> 00:48:31,860
so you'd either have to figure out, find someone down there who could teleport you back,

939
00:48:31,860 --> 00:48:36,180
or we could send a ship down, pick you up, bring you back.

940
00:48:37,059 --> 00:48:39,940
Option B, you take a ship down all the way,

941
00:48:40,579 --> 00:48:44,579
and then take the ship back. Depends what you want to do.

942
00:48:44,579 --> 00:48:48,500
I'm just giving you the options. Well, I think time is of the essence.

943
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:55,220
I say, teleport down, ship back up. How long does a ship take?

944
00:48:56,420 --> 00:48:59,220
Several weeks. Yeah, okay.

945
00:48:59,220 --> 00:49:04,659
So instead of several weeks times two, it'll just be several weeks.

946
00:49:05,619 --> 00:49:10,659
Some people are very anti-magic, which is why I have to give both options.

947
00:49:11,699 --> 00:49:18,739
I know you two are really cool. Can we not do it both ways?

948
00:49:20,259 --> 00:49:23,619
No, it doesn't work the same way in Kalisham.

949
00:49:26,980 --> 00:49:30,339
Just because we don't have the same network set up down there, you would have to specifically,

950
00:49:30,339 --> 00:49:34,420
or you and Yen Bull, maybe Yen Bull knows somebody, that is an option as well.

951
00:49:34,420 --> 00:49:37,940
But you would have to find someone who could teleport you.

952
00:49:37,940 --> 00:49:38,740
Okay, gotcha.

953
00:49:40,340 --> 00:49:45,139
But we would send the ship to be sure that you have a way of getting back.

954
00:49:46,420 --> 00:49:48,659
Not just left on your own devices.

955
00:49:48,659 --> 00:49:51,619
Could take us a few weeks just to find the temple, so.

956
00:49:51,619 --> 00:49:52,420
Very well could.

957
00:49:54,180 --> 00:49:59,220
So if that's all we can send you down there,

958
00:49:59,220 --> 00:50:02,579
Arvid says they're trying very hard to track down Donnie,

959
00:50:02,579 --> 00:50:08,579
but it's turning up not so fruitful so far.

960
00:50:09,380 --> 00:50:13,940
We will send word if we find him in your absence.

961
00:50:17,139 --> 00:50:17,860
Very sorry.

962
00:50:19,380 --> 00:50:20,019
We'll find him.

963
00:50:20,980 --> 00:50:28,980
Yes. The fact that we can't find him is good, because it means, well, I mean,

964
00:50:28,980 --> 00:50:36,820
it's not good. It's better. It means he might not be in this realm, this plane.

965
00:50:37,940 --> 00:50:40,500
And that's good for us?

966
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:49,059
Well, it means he has a possibility of being alive. You know, Monk Should's Cat?

967
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:51,460
What?

968
00:50:51,460 --> 00:50:53,460
Oh, you know, Monk Should's Cat.

969
00:50:54,019 --> 00:50:55,380
Monk Should's Cat.

970
00:50:55,380 --> 00:50:55,619
Yes.

971
00:50:56,420 --> 00:50:58,659
Like Monk Should Cat?

972
00:50:58,659 --> 00:51:02,179
No, no, no. Like the famous wizard Monk Should.

973
00:51:02,179 --> 00:51:03,859
The famous wizard Monk Should?

974
00:51:03,859 --> 00:51:12,819
Yes. And how he posited, if I have this magical box, and I told you there's a cat in it,

975
00:51:14,739 --> 00:51:23,059
but you don't know if there's a cat in it, the cat is both alive and dead in the magical box.

976
00:51:23,059 --> 00:51:23,940
Right.

977
00:51:23,940 --> 00:51:29,059
So Donnie is both alive and dead in this magical plane.

978
00:51:29,059 --> 00:51:32,820
In another plane. Whereas if they had found him...

979
00:51:32,820 --> 00:51:34,019
Would be either...

980
00:51:34,900 --> 00:51:35,380
We would know.

981
00:51:35,380 --> 00:51:38,500
Yes. Exactly. I'm just saying. Monk Should's Cat.

982
00:51:38,500 --> 00:51:42,179
Monk Should's Cat. Perfect. I will write that one down.

983
00:51:42,179 --> 00:51:43,940
He probably should, because I don't remember him.

984
00:51:43,940 --> 00:51:52,179
I'm going to look into Monk Should, see if maybe he can come to a seminar on some such...

985
00:51:52,820 --> 00:51:57,300
Well, I don't know if he's still alive, but I mean...

986
00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:58,580
That hasn't stopped us before.

987
00:52:02,580 --> 00:52:03,140
Fair enough.

988
00:52:06,420 --> 00:52:10,980
Is there anything you need prior to leaving? We'll assume that you've got all like basic

989
00:52:10,980 --> 00:52:14,980
stuff. You know, you've sharpened your weapons, you've got your food, rations,

990
00:52:14,980 --> 00:52:16,340
clothes, whatever you want.

991
00:52:16,340 --> 00:52:20,740
All that stuff that other people do in D&D, but we just assume is always

992
00:52:20,740 --> 00:52:22,020
magically taken care of.

993
00:52:23,780 --> 00:52:27,780
Is there anything, any specific questions about Callum Shan that you might have?

994
00:52:27,780 --> 00:52:30,740
I have, you know, tersary knowledge.

995
00:52:30,740 --> 00:52:33,060
What's the weather like? Hot? Cold?

996
00:52:33,060 --> 00:52:36,100
It's very desert-like. Very hot.

997
00:52:36,900 --> 00:52:43,780
Okay. Any wild animals that we might not find here that might freak us the fuck out?

998
00:52:44,580 --> 00:52:52,660
I mean, there are, you know, regional monsters, regional, that sort of thing.

999
00:52:53,380 --> 00:53:03,460
There are a great amount of gins and genies that you, I'm told, should be wary of.

1000
00:53:04,820 --> 00:53:05,060
Okay.

1001
00:53:05,940 --> 00:53:11,380
They're mischievous, is the lore that they send back,

1002
00:53:12,180 --> 00:53:14,019
that people don't trust them very much.

1003
00:53:14,980 --> 00:53:17,140
So don't put all our eggs in their basket.

1004
00:53:18,019 --> 00:53:20,900
You might not want to put any of your eggs in their basket,

1005
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:22,980
but especially not all of them.

1006
00:53:22,980 --> 00:53:27,940
All right. Are these Callum Shanians?

1007
00:53:28,500 --> 00:53:29,460
Kalashites.

1008
00:53:29,460 --> 00:53:29,940
Kalashites.

1009
00:53:32,340 --> 00:53:34,500
Okay. Sorry.

1010
00:53:37,220 --> 00:53:39,300
Do they worship any particular gods?

1011
00:53:40,260 --> 00:53:46,900
Um, not in particular. Nothing, nothing. No.

1012
00:53:47,620 --> 00:53:48,100
Okay, cool.

1013
00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:49,300
Nothing in particular.

1014
00:53:49,300 --> 00:53:51,620
What you'll find down there is they are,

1015
00:53:51,620 --> 00:53:56,260
because they're such an ancient civilization, they, they're very,

1016
00:53:57,940 --> 00:54:00,340
you'll find a lot more magic usage down there.

1017
00:54:02,580 --> 00:54:03,380
Nice.

1018
00:54:03,380 --> 00:54:08,580
So, being a bit more commonplace, the rumors you hear down by the docks

1019
00:54:08,659 --> 00:54:12,659
is that everyone and their, and their dog owns a magic carpet.

1020
00:54:13,299 --> 00:54:17,139
Lee Olsen, what are you doing down by the docks?

1021
00:54:17,139 --> 00:54:19,299
These are the rumors that make it back to me.

1022
00:54:20,900 --> 00:54:21,779
It's just, if you hear-

1023
00:54:21,779 --> 00:54:24,819
Clean cut guy like you wouldn't last five minutes in the docks.

1024
00:54:24,819 --> 00:54:26,900
This is why I don't go down to the docks.

1025
00:54:26,900 --> 00:54:27,460
I just-

1026
00:54:27,460 --> 00:54:30,099
Okay. Well, I would also like to have a magic carpet.

1027
00:54:30,099 --> 00:54:34,340
Well, um, that's just the rumors that they're very magical.

1028
00:54:35,059 --> 00:54:38,420
They, they, they all just treat it as a normal thing.

1029
00:54:39,380 --> 00:54:41,620
And perhaps you should too.

1030
00:54:41,620 --> 00:54:44,900
Desert-like, there's some jungles, depending on where you go,

1031
00:54:44,900 --> 00:54:46,420
it's mixed, it's very large.

1032
00:54:46,420 --> 00:54:48,420
So, you'll run into a whole bunch of different things,

1033
00:54:48,420 --> 00:54:50,100
depending on where you actually have to go,

1034
00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:53,140
where Yen Bull thinks that your temple is.

1035
00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:55,220
Okay. Well.

1036
00:54:56,100 --> 00:55:00,180
And with that, he takes you down to the teleportation chamber,

1037
00:55:00,180 --> 00:55:01,220
where you've been before.

1038
00:55:02,180 --> 00:55:09,540
I alter self, khaki shorts, tank top, gossamer cape.

1039
00:55:10,340 --> 00:55:13,060
Is there a time limit on your alter self or you just-

1040
00:55:13,060 --> 00:55:15,300
No, I can just alter self.

1041
00:55:15,300 --> 00:55:16,260
Okay, cool. Perfect.

1042
00:55:16,260 --> 00:55:18,420
It's just a fun thing I can do now that I'm so supes powerful.

1043
00:55:18,420 --> 00:55:19,620
The cape is a nice touch.

1044
00:55:19,620 --> 00:55:21,380
Flint, what is your, your attire?

1045
00:55:21,380 --> 00:55:25,380
Knowing that it's a desert locale, what is, how does Flint dress?

1046
00:55:25,940 --> 00:55:31,140
Yeah. I mean, I guess he's going to have to steal a page from Merle and go beach dwarf.

1047
00:55:31,460 --> 00:55:34,900
Okay, cool. Sandals, flip flops.

1048
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:37,299
Oh, flip flops, Hawaiian shirt.

1049
00:55:37,299 --> 00:55:38,579
Well, actually, no, like those-

1050
00:55:38,579 --> 00:55:40,819
No, go gladiator sandals.

1051
00:55:40,819 --> 00:55:42,099
Active sandals. Yeah.

1052
00:55:42,099 --> 00:55:44,259
So you can like go out and climb rocks and stuff,

1053
00:55:44,259 --> 00:55:45,779
but still have your feet out.

1054
00:55:45,779 --> 00:55:46,259
I like it.

1055
00:55:46,259 --> 00:55:47,219
So we'll go with those.

1056
00:55:48,099 --> 00:55:50,420
Tommy Bahama style Hawaiian shirt.

1057
00:55:50,420 --> 00:55:51,139
Yes.

1058
00:55:51,139 --> 00:55:54,659
And not cargo shorts, but like big shorts.

1059
00:55:55,379 --> 00:55:58,019
I look over at you and I go, fucking tourist.

1060
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:03,539
You're going to blend in marvelously. I can ju- both of you. I can just feel it.

1061
00:56:04,259 --> 00:56:04,820
Perfect.

1062
00:56:04,820 --> 00:56:11,539
All right, wizards. And you step into the teleportation circles and the wizards begin

1063
00:56:11,539 --> 00:56:15,619
their incantations and the runes begin to glow and you begin to fade.

1064
00:56:15,619 --> 00:56:18,659
And I shout out, tell Arvid to use protection.

1065
00:56:20,179 --> 00:56:24,420
You just see a very confused look on Leo's face as you snap out.

1066
00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:36,259
And there is a flash and a rumble and an explosion.

1067
00:56:38,019 --> 00:56:42,900
And you are thrown hard against the side of a building.

1068
00:56:46,259 --> 00:56:52,099
The intro song, Nowhere Land, is by Kavin MacLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io.

1069
00:56:52,980 --> 00:56:57,380

1075
00:57:21,860 --> 00:57:26,340
The bile is dripping down on top of you and down all over you.

1076
00:57:27,300 --> 00:57:28,100
Flint, what do you do?

1077
00:57:29,940 --> 00:57:32,260
I'm emptying my water skin slowly.

1078
00:57:34,660 --> 00:57:39,700
Dumbs and Dragons is a Dumb Dragons production.
