[0.0s] Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.2s] You very quickly find Tiny and Clip Clop.
[6.4s] You come across Donnie's collar.
[10.2s] No hints or clues or anything other than the collar are left of his whereabouts.
[17.8s] Someone's stolen Donnie.
[20.0s] What if we continue to look as we travel?
[24.7s] I don't think we have much of a choice.
[27.4s] We're running out of supplies out here, wandering through the forest.
[31.8s] Let's head to Waterdeep.
[33.3s] As long as you want to stay with us, Lex, you're welcome.
[35.8s] Well, let's see how things go in Waterdeep.
[38.0s] Do you know where your creator, does your creator have a name?
[42.1s] I don't know.
[44.4s] When I left him, I was in no condition to ask questions.
[50.5s] So I think I remember how to get back there.
[54.5s] You think you hear a noise, familiar noise.
[57.9s] I turn around.
[59.5s] As you turn back around, you're immediately faced by the image of Nularaaaa.
[66.7s] No, damn it!
[68.2s] Your hand goes to a blade, you pull it out, and you see Nularaaaa's dagger.
[74.8s] The glowing red eyes and they thrust up into the body of Nularaaaa in front of you.
[79.9s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[83.9s] We're a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast and I'm your dungeon master,
[87.4s] Russ Boren.
[88.3s] With me today is Amy More.
[90.6s] I'm here.
[91.5s] My name is Amy More.
[92.8s] I play Thea Amastasia and my favorite animal is a cuttlefish.
[97.5s] And Carla Maxted.
[100.2s] I am also here.
[101.8s] I am Lex and my favorite animal.
[105.8s] I mean, realistically, it's a dog.
[107.8s] I probably have a more exotic choice, but truly dogs.
[113.8s] And Toblaird.
[115.5s] Yeah, also here playing FlintFirebeard and my favorite animal.
[121.6s] It's got to be those Dankoalas.
[124.9s] Such a good choice, they're so adorable and so stoned all the time.
[128.5s] It's great.
[129.1s] Oh, so high all the time.
[130.8s] I hear when you make them angry, though, they're really angry.
[134.2s] But I mean, in their defense, Russ, when you make anything angry,
[137.8s] it's really angry.
[138.5s] Who's trying to make a koala angry?
[139.7s] Touche.
[140.9s] Remember how you made Amy angry during the last episode?
[143.1s] Yeah, I remember last episode.
[144.3s] Let's see how that plays out.
[145.0s] I don't remember that episode at all.
[146.8s] I've blocked it from my memory.
[148.6s] I don't know what you're talking about.
[150.4s] Well, there's this dagger.
[152.6s] What dagger?
[155.0s] Just a thing that's been kicking around.
[156.4s] Well, you know what?
[157.3s] If I end up with this dagger, I'm naming it Mick Dagger.
[163.5s] Suddenly doesn't have the dagger.
[167.8s] That's right.
[168.6s] I'm just going to pun anything you throw at me.
[170.9s] Yeah, that's fair.
[172.1s] Where we have lots of punny things.
[176.7s] Not that many does scare people away from it.
[179.4s] No, I mean, there's some.
[181.2s] Our stuff is much better than what Russ just demonstrated.
[183.8s] Yeah.
[184.2s] No, it's very good over there.
[187.0s] That was less good.
[188.2s] But the stuff we have over there is very good.
[192.2s] I'm really selling this.
[192.9s] Over where, Russ?
[193.7s] You're doing a great job.
[194.9s] Over on Patreon.
[195.9s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[198.2s] Didn't I say Patreon already?
[199.4s] I don't think you did, but then you kept.
[204.0s] So on Patreon, there's all this bonus content.
[206.3s] It's really great.
[207.0s] There's lots of really nice people.
[208.7s] It's an awesome place to get more stuff for a very reasonable price.
[212.8s] Whatever you feel is fair.
[214.4s] And we're for cheap people.
[217.4s] It's true.
[218.8s] We all like a good bargain.
[221.4s] So that's what we try to provide over there is a good bargain.

[233.2s] to you like today's patron, Colter Donnelly.
[238.0s] You've got a super cool first name.
[240.7s] So the whole thing goes together.
[242.1s] Sounds like a celebrity name.
[244.2s] Oh, it totally does.
[246.0s] Or a high school jock.
[248.5s] Oh, yeah.
[249.2s] I mean, either one, but really the celebrity of the high school.
[253.4s] Now we've made up this whole backstory for you, Colter.
[255.8s] Yeah.
[256.1s] So if that's your backstory, I mean, it can be now.
[259.2s] It's recorded.
[260.3s] You could just say this is me.
[261.8s] Yeah.
[262.8s] You could just make that your ringtone.
[265.0s] If you want.
[265.9s] It's all yours.

[267.7s] You're good.

[279.1s] And now.
[281.0s] Fuck it.
[281.4s] Let's play D&D.
[284.2s] If we have to.
[290.0s] A strong start.
[290.8s] I see Amy is still salty about last time.
[292.8s] Just a little salty.
[295.7s] We pick right back up with Thea.
[298.2s] You have before you.
[300.8s] You have Dagger in hand.
[303.6s] And Nulara's dripping wet decaying body.
[310.8s] And she's pushing herself towards you.
[313.8s] With the knife in her.
[315.0s] She's like walking into the knife.
[316.8s] Yeah.
[317.9s] Oh, Nulara, why?
[321.5s] She doesn't answer.
[322.8s] And Flint and Lex, you hear kind of a panicked scuffling.
[328.6s] I don't know how Thea would be exactly vocalizing her concerns at this moment.
[334.1s] But you turn around and see Thea holding a dagger in hand.
[339.3s] Panicking.
[341.3s] Is it bloody?
[341.8s] Is the dagger bloody?
[344.4s] You are still in your mind palace right now.
[348.2s] I'm talking to Flint and Lex.
[349.8s] Oh, you're not even talking to me anymore.
[351.8s] The dagger's not bloodied.
[354.0s] That makes two of us, Russ.
[357.1s] All right.
[357.6s] I'm just going to excuse myself in the room here.
[360.8s] This dagger ruins lives.
[363.6s] I look at Lex and kind of look back at Thea and say,
[372.2s] I'll go high, you go low.
[377.6s] Lex is the six foot one, you're the four foot one.
[381.5s] That's right.
[382.1s] Okay, cool.
[383.0s] I love it.
[383.8s] Describe to me this scene.
[385.6s] Yeah, you don't know what's happening with them.
[387.4s] You describe to me this scene as it plays out high and low.
[391.9s] I take a couple steps as a bit of a run and jump towards Thea who's holding this dagger.
[402.1s] With both hands, I go for the arm that's holding the dagger
[406.7s] and I pull it away from her as best I can.
[410.2s] And as far as it looks to you, this is her regular dagger.
[413.6s] Like, this isn't anything special.
[415.4s] This is just her holding a dagger.
[420.0s] I'm going to say, you can do this.
[423.1s] She's not of sound mind at the moment, so it seems to you.
[426.2s] Can't even see you, so.
[427.0s] Can't even really see you.
[428.9s] Thea, Lex, do you do anything at this moment?
[431.6s] You're going low, so I heard.
[432.9s] I'm going low.
[433.8s] I think I was more there as a spotter for this amazing jump, just in case.
[437.7s] Like, I went down kind of like in a crouch, just in case he needed an extra heft.
[443.0s] Perfect.
[443.8s] Thea, you feel Nulara's body press hard against you
[450.3s] and you're knocked back to the ground.
[452.4s] Tell me what you do.
[455.7s] I probably scream.
[459.0s] Flint, Thea lets out a loud scream directed at you, so it seems.
[467.5s] Thea, you see the bile is dripping down on top of you and down all over you.
[475.3s] Flint, what do you do?
[476.5s] Well, I mean, it would be pretty obvious that she's just not looking at anything
[480.5s] in particular, right?
[481.3s] Like, she's not looking at me.
[482.6s] She's just kind of staring blankly.
[484.4s] Yeah, it's a very vacant, panicked look.
[487.8s] Okay, so I'll do that thing that older siblings always do,
[491.4s] where they put like their knees on top of your arms,
[494.6s] so you can't like move your arms.
[497.3s] And I'll like kind of shake her shoulders and say like,
[500.5s] Thea, Thea, wake up.
[503.6s] Make a constitution save.
[508.3s] That is a saving throw.
[513.9s] Well, that's only a 13.
[516.0s] In your vision, the dagger has been knocked down to the ground
[521.0s] and Lara is seated on top of you and she's like grabbing your shoulders,
[529.2s] not your neck or anything.
[530.6s] She's grabbing your shoulders and like hitting you into the ground.
[534.8s] And on the third or fourth hit, you come to and Flint's on top of you,
[541.2s] yelling down at you.
[542.2s] And you look to the side and you see your dagger,
[548.0s] just a regular dagger, and you're back in the hall at Castle Waterdeep.
[555.0s] Oh my god.
[556.8s] What?
[558.6s] Flint?
[559.8s] You're back?
[560.7s] You awake?
[561.3s] Where did I go?
[563.6s] You were here the whole time.
[566.6s] Oh my god.
[567.5s] What did you see?
[568.8s] Is you had your dagger out and you were just kind of staring ahead
[572.0s] I don't know what was happening there.
[573.3s] Oh, you can get, you can get off me.
[575.3s] I'm think I'm fine.
[576.2s] Oh, right.
[576.6s] Yeah, sorry.
[577.4s] Sorry.
[578.8s] Hard to breathe.
[583.0s] I help her up.
[583.7s] I, I thought I heard something so I turned around
[589.6s] and when I turned back kNulara was in front of me
[594.8s] and I had her, that fucking dagger.
[604.3s] Oh, the one that, that made her, right, right, right.
[608.8s] That one.
[609.2s] Yep.
[609.7s] And I, I stabbed her with it.
[613.3s] And then all this black goo came out of her mouth
[616.2s] and then she was on top of me and slamming me into the ground.
[619.8s] And oh my god, it was terrifying.
[623.0s] I think she's pissed from beyond the grave that we lost Donnie.
[626.4s] Is this, I mean, did she say anything about Donnie?
[630.2s] She didn't say anything.
[631.8s] Oh, okay.
[632.6s] That's very unsettling then.
[633.9s] At least in your previous dream, she'd been saying things to you, right?
[639.4s] She didn't say anything.
[641.5s] Just barfed black gunk everywhere and.
[646.6s] At this point, a few people have kind of come out of different rooms.
[649.9s] Oh man, I've made a scene.
[652.4s] Are looking and some of them are like, is everything, everything okay?
[657.3s] Yeah.
[657.8s] Yeah.
[658.1s] No.
[658.9s] Yeah, we're fine.
[659.6s] Just a little, just a little day tears.
[661.9s] Don't worry about it.
[662.7s] Oh my god, day tears.
[664.8s] Okay.
[668.5s] If you need anything, please just call.
[672.1s] Yep.
[672.3s] Yeah.
[672.6s] Yeah.
[673.0s] We'll do.
[674.3s] Maybe we should ask Arvid about this too.
[675.7s] I was just going to say maybe this, I mean, this cannot keep happening.
[681.4s] In the day.
[682.6s] No.
[683.2s] Well, I mean before, at least when they happened at night, we knew that they,
[686.8s] it was a possibility then, but this is a whole, this is a game changer right here.
[692.0s] Good.
[692.3s] We, what we needed, our plate was not quite full enough.
[695.8s] So.
[696.5s] Yeah.
[696.7s] Yeah.
[697.0s] Just keep, it's like when you go up to the buffet
[699.4s] and you can find just a little more room on the plate.
[704.2s] Oh, please.
[704.6s] There is a Faerun all you can eat buffet.
[706.3s] Of course there is.
[707.1s] 100% there is.
[707.9s] You guys have probably definitely been there.
[709.8s] Oh, definitely.
[710.6s] Probably.
[711.9s] I mean, I seem to remember other characters going to an all you can eat meat place.
[716.5s] It's true.
[717.2s] Yep.
[719.0s] Lex, you just, you just, you just watching?
[722.5s] I think so.
[723.7s] Okay, cool.
[724.6s] That's fine.
[725.4s] These aren't people I know well and there's something real crazy going on.
[729.2s] She's talking about her dead friend.
[731.7s] I'm going to go now.
[733.3s] You guys are fine.
[735.5s] We cut to the three of you bursting through Arvid's door.
[741.8s] It opens.
[743.8s] So you try and-
[744.4s] Is it a pneumatic?
[745.6s] A little bit.
[746.6s] He's got an upgrade.
[748.8s] He's not there.
[749.8s] Arvid!
[751.8s] Is it still like the pharmacy kind of place?
[754.2s] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[755.4s] Sorry.
[755.8s] Yes, it is for, yes.
[757.1s] For Lex, it is a, a very sterile white pharmacy.
[762.8s] The step up behind you, as you call out Arvid, you hear a bark and his dog runs out.
[771.3s] I bend down and I go, hi puppy.
[774.1s] Arvid, you hear footsteps follow in behind and he, you hear a, oh, you're home.
[784.2s] Hi, Arvid.
[786.2s] A dog.
[789.7s] Dog?
[792.2s] Yeah, a dog.
[793.2s] A dog.
[795.3s] Like a dog?
[797.8s] No, no, no, like dog, D-A-W-G.
[801.4s] Like dog, a dog, that's you.
[805.0s] I missed your colloquialisms.
[809.3s] Working on new words.
[811.4s] That one didn't work out very well.
[815.0s] But hey, at least you tried.
[816.0s] Welcome home.
[818.6s] You brought an interesting friend with you.
[821.8s] Oh yeah, this is, this is Lex.
[823.5s] Hi, I'm Lex.
[825.8s] Pleasure.
[827.4s] It's, I think the pleasure is all mine.
[829.8s] And I hold his hand just like a little bit longer than is strictly necessary for shaking.
[835.6s] Oh my, friends, forever friends at last.
[843.2s] I like your new friend.
[845.7s] Cool.
[851.5s] Arvid, we've, we've lost Donnie.
[853.6s] I mean, Leosin told me you had but one job.
[864.7s] No, there's always multiple jobs.
[867.9s] Also, it was a big thing here.
[872.3s] And I hand the collar to Arvid and say, can you do anything?
[876.8s] Can you somehow use this to find him or give us a clue to start looking in some direction?
[884.0s] Yeah, yes, yes.
[886.2s] Let me, let me take this to the group of, of fine wizards who do sort of location.
[895.4s] He kind of waves his hands in the air.
[898.2s] Like you just don't care.
[901.0s] And let's see if we can perhaps find Donnie.
[909.4s] You don't necessarily need to be part of this, but I can report back to you.
[913.3s] Is, is there anything else you require?
[917.4s] Um.
[918.3s] I have something for you.
[919.7s] Oh, go ahead.
[921.8s] Keep going.
[922.6s] I can hear from the other room.
[928.1s] Okay, this is an awkward thing to scream.
[930.1s] So I'm having day terrors about killing Nulara.
[935.4s] Why?
[938.5s] I don't know.
[939.3s] No.
[941.1s] Seems like something you should figure out.
[945.4s] Okay.
[948.8s] Flint?
[950.6s] Yeah, I mean, it'd be good to get to the bottom of that.
[953.4s] Plus, uh, now Ross, you said Leosan was going to help out with the other thing.
[958.7s] Callum Shan finding someone who's down there.
[961.2s] Yes.
[962.2s] Yeah, Arvid was to locate Donnie and now night terrors.
[967.0s] Perfect.
[967.8s] Maybe he can have something to slow down your scaly scales.
[971.2s] Footsteps.
[972.0s] Yeah, that'd be good.
[973.9s] You hear his footsteps coming back and he's got a small box that he has in his hand and
[979.9s] night terrors are a terrible thing.
[981.9s] I used to have them once before.
[984.3s] Oh, no, no, no.
[985.1s] She's got both night terrors and now day terrors.
[988.5s] This is a new development.
[989.5s] Oh, sorry.
[990.2s] Yes.
[991.4s] Did you say day terrors?
[992.5s] I couldn't quite hear you from the other room.
[994.1s] You told me you could hear me from the other room.
[995.9s] I have very good hearing.
[999.9s] Of course you do.
[1000.8s] Look at those beautiful ears.
[1002.7s] They're so well formed.
[1006.2s] Thank you.
[1006.7s] Thank you very much.
[1008.7s] Just clean them this morning.
[1011.1s] I can tell they look really great.
[1013.5s] I kind of look at Thea with a little like, check this shit out.
[1018.4s] Weirdo on weirdo action here.
[1020.4s] I like it.
[1023.4s] There's someone for everyone.
[1025.3s] I'm sorry.
[1026.1s] I am not a dreamologist.
[1029.0s] What specifically do your terrors bring you?
[1032.8s] Sounds like a sully job.
[1034.6s] Totally.
[1035.2s] I was just going to say, what do your terrors bring you?
[1039.1s] Let me think.
[1040.2s] Fear.
[1040.8s] Wow.
[1041.7s] Also, I'm in a completely different realm.
[1045.3s] I can't see my friends.
[1048.9s] Yeah, she goes kind of like catatonic while it's happening.
[1053.6s] Interesting.
[1054.2s] Have you had any run-ins with any mind-altering substances?
[1063.4s] No.
[1066.3s] Yes?
[1068.3s] No.
[1069.5s] I usually pause for effect and then usually the true answer comes out from my patience.
[1075.7s] Well, I mean, I've smoked a little bit of weed,
[1078.7s] but I don't think that's mind-altering.
[1080.5s] That would have to be a lot.
[1081.6s] Mood-altering.
[1082.8s] A lot of weed.
[1084.3s] Yeah, no, it's not that much.
[1085.6s] Yeah, you've never heard of that.
[1089.2s] Listen, in that dream, I was stabbing Nulara with that fucked up dagger that she had.
[1094.8s] You have things you need to work through.
[1097.1s] No, I think that that dagger is somewhere.
[1101.6s] Like on your person?
[1104.5s] Have you checked your pockets?
[1107.0s] It's a pretty big dagger.
[1110.9s] I look in my bag of holding.
[1113.2s] I do that fun thing where you have a small bag and it's obviously smaller than your arm,
[1117.9s] but then you put your arm like way down into the shoulder.
[1121.8s] You call for the dagger and it does not rise to your hand.
[1125.9s] Okay.
[1126.1s] Well, I don't have it, but it's like, Flynn, do you know what happened to that dagger?
[1131.9s] Did she have the dagger in her hand?
[1135.9s] She had it on her.
[1137.9s] Sorry, is this the same dagger Nulara was having concerns about that I was?
[1143.5s] Yes, the murder, murder dagger.
[1145.3s] Murder, murder dagger.
[1146.6s] The murder, murder dagger.
[1148.0s] Two murders.
[1149.4s] Also, if this is like a long game for us to get our characters into therapy,
[1153.5s] I'm all for it.
[1155.4s] Mental health is important in D&D and outside of D&D.
[1158.5s] They've been through a lot of really traumatizing events.
[1161.5s] Sorry, yes, it's the same dagger.
[1163.1s] Yes, it's the same issue, different issue,
[1166.2s] less precise because you don't have the physical dagger.
[1169.5s] So you say...
[1176.3s] Well, this isn't habit.
[1177.8s] This is a new wrinkle.
[1180.9s] I thought perhaps I tracked down who the owner of the dagger was,
[1185.9s] but probably not them.
[1191.7s] Well, who did you think it was?
[1195.9s] Oh, a lich out far east.
[1200.1s] South?
[1200.6s] They way, no.
[1203.5s] Everything can't be in the same direction.
[1205.1s] That'd be too easy.
[1206.1s] There was rumors of a dagger of epic power capabilities.
[1213.9s] Murder, murder.
[1215.6s] Murder, murder came along with it being that it is a dagger.
[1221.1s] Every time he says the word dagger, I look at his crotch.
[1227.6s] I fucking love whatever's happening here.
[1230.0s] Yeah, I'm on board with everything that's happening in this room.
[1232.3s] This is so great.
[1233.7s] Are you trying to be sneaky about it or are you just doing it?
[1237.0s] I feel like they're all pretty involved in their conversations,
[1240.0s] so he's kind of being sneaky about it.
[1242.7s] Roll a stealth.
[1244.4s] Well, because yeah, I mean, straight up, he said dagger like 12 times.
[1248.4s] I rolled a nat one.
[1250.5s] Nat one.
[1251.5s] It doesn't matter.
[1251.9s] Are you like four inches away from his crotch now?
[1259.5s] You think you're being super sneaky, but it is very obvious.
[1264.5s] Flint and Thea see Arvid stop and pause between things that he's saying.
[1271.5s] Dagger.
[1273.2s] Then he looks down to see if perhaps he has something on his coat.
[1277.4s] He's like, no, that's clean.
[1279.5s] Oh my.
[1286.3s] So where was I?
[1289.0s] As much as I want to explore what's going on here.
[1293.3s] Okay, so it sounds like this dagger is a me problem.
[1298.3s] I'm telling you, I had been working on it since Nulara first brought it to me.
[1303.3s] Yes, and where is it now?
[1305.7s] Well, not the dagger specifically, the lore behind the dagger,
[1310.7s] because the dagger was nowhere to be seen once possessions returned to Castle Waterdeep.
[1319.5s] There were strict instructions for someone to destroy the dagger, but it was not here.
[1327.0s] It's fucked up, man.
[1328.3s] Okay, fine.
[1329.2s] If you find anything out, please let me know about the dagger.
[1334.0s] Of course.
[1334.7s] And maybe you can, I don't know.
[1340.7s] Well, I did have something for you.
[1343.7s] Hold on.
[1344.3s] Oh, right. I totally forgot.
[1345.4s] Yes. One moment, please.
[1348.5s] New implementation.
[1349.7s] He goes over to a big wall where you see a bunch of tubes,
[1352.7s] puts Donnie's collar with a scroll rolled up inside of it,
[1357.0s] puts it into the wall and closes the door and it goes.
[1359.7s] I'm always about a pneumatic, too.
[1364.1s] That will go to the wizards and I shall check on them momentarily.
[1367.9s] They will.
[1370.3s] Surely, if Donnie is within this realm, we will find him.
[1377.1s] Thank you.
[1379.5s] Thank you.
[1380.6s] And now for the present.
[1382.7s] He hands it to Thea.
[1383.7s] Sorry, Flint and Lex.
[1387.2s] This is just for Thea.
[1391.4s] Like he said Lex, so like sultry.
[1395.1s] Lex.
[1396.8s] I open the box.
[1399.5s] Inside you see a smaller box.
[1405.1s] Inside of that, another box.
[1408.9s] And then a bigger box.
[1410.0s] Somehow magic.
[1410.8s] I mean, he's a wizard.
[1411.8s] It's amazing.
[1413.9s] You see an amulet.
[1416.5s] What color is it?
[1419.0s] Turquoise.
[1420.3s] You see a turquoise amulet that has
[1427.5s] carvings around the perimeter of it.
[1429.8s] You look closely at it and they are of weaponry and shields,
[1435.5s] rough images of people in battle.
[1440.3s] Oh my god, Arvid, it's so pretty.
[1443.1s] I saw the color and it just said Thea to me.
[1448.1s] Like you thought of me?
[1451.2s] Well, in a sense.
[1455.9s] But like it didn't actually talk to you.
[1457.9s] I mean, doesn't everything talk?
[1460.2s] Well, no, because what I'm worried about is that fucking dagger does talk to you.
[1465.5s] When I say dagger, do you look at his crotch?
[1467.8s] No, but I'm like just like so unhappy about this whole thing.
[1472.0s] He's giving you jewelry.
[1473.1s] Like I guess I've really like thought maybe I thought maybe I'd met someone special.
[1480.6s] It seems like I really misread the relationship the two of you have.
[1488.2s] This is for I can't even remember.
[1494.2s] I'm so distracted by your friend who's now staring dagger eyes at me.
[1501.2s] Oh, this is flirting.
[1504.0s] This is the first time flirting's ever happened really on this podcast.
[1508.3s] And it is weird AF, my friends.
[1511.5s] I am loving it.
[1514.6s] Oh my god.
[1518.5s] Okay, so does it do anything special?
[1520.2s] Oh, yes.
[1524.2s] Okay, good.
[1528.3s] Good to know.
[1529.0s] I'll just figure it out on my own.
[1530.5s] No, I can tell you.
[1532.7s] Unlike the last one where I didn't tell you what each of the potions did because
[1537.1s] that was fun.
[1538.3s] Rufus here had to go out.
[1540.9s] I've renamed him.
[1541.9s] I can't recall what I named him previously.
[1544.7s] It's an affliction I have.
[1547.9s] I can't remember animals names.
[1551.8s] It's very specific affliction.
[1553.8s] I'm working on it.
[1555.7s] The amulet is an amulet that will help you during combat.
[1565.1s] As you see around there, it might have given a clue.
[1570.3s] It will allow you to move a little swifter and provide an extra
[1577.5s] drive into your opponents.
[1584.8s] Out of game, it gives you an extra attack.
[1586.7s] Oh my god.
[1588.5s] Is it my birthday?
[1590.3s] What is happening?
[1592.3s] You guys.
[1596.7s] Totally made up for me probably getting that fucking murder, murder dagger.
[1600.7s] No one said you had it.
[1602.0s] Yet.
[1604.0s] Just don't ask Russ when he was originally supposed to give it to you.
[1607.3s] Fuck off, Tom.
[1608.7s] Oh, I'm sorry, was I supposed to have this earlier?
[1612.1s] Maybe when we were fighting Tiamat.
[1614.2s] Maybe we'll talk about this in the down time, which you can go check out at
[1617.5s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cats.
[1619.5s] Yes, this is not over.
[1620.9s] Marital disputes happen over there.
[1624.7s] Come join us.
[1625.9s] I really, you know what?
[1627.1s] Nothing makes me more happy to maritally dispute something is when I know that
[1631.4s] a bunch of other people are listening in with their own thoughts, feelings and judgments.
[1636.7s] Anyways, back in scene.
[1639.3s] Arvid, thank you.
[1641.1s] What is this for?
[1642.6s] Well, I told you it makes you move faster in combat.
[1647.9s] No, I mean, why did you, why do you have this present for me?
[1651.9s] Oh, well, I might have been supposed to give it to you a while ago,
[1656.9s] but it's no time like the present.
[1661.0s] This was supposed to be given to me before Tiamat, wasn't it?
[1663.9s] Hey, who puts timelines on such things?
[1668.8s] I mean, the important part is, is that you have it now.
[1670.7s] I have it now.
[1672.2s] Thank you so much.
[1673.5s] And I will, and I take it out of the box and I put it on.
[1678.8s] Do I have to say anything like, Amulet, go.
[1683.5s] Or like, on.
[1685.5s] You don't have to say anything, my dear.
[1688.0s] It's just, you just must first spend some time with it, get to know it.
[1693.7s] I slip it in my bra.
[1696.8s] Okay, yeah, that's, that's perfectly fine.
[1700.4s] You must attune yourself to it and then, whoop, extra attack.
[1704.7s] Will it make that sound?
[1706.3s] If you do, each time you make the extra attack, yes.
[1711.3s] Do I get a bonus of some kind?
[1714.0s] If I remember to use the Amulet.
[1716.7s] You may be granting your enemy a disadvantage
[1721.9s] if you catch them off guard with the boop sound.
[1725.9s] That's just a fancy way to say if I, if I have a sneak attack.
[1732.1s] Well, Arvid, thank you.
[1733.3s] I, I really do appreciate it.
[1736.2s] Of course, of course.
[1737.4s] Now tell me your, your story, sailor.
[1742.2s] Carolyn's not expecting that.
[1744.3s] Also, Flynn, you're not getting your cream for your rash.
[1749.0s] And I move over and just like, take a closer look at your Amulet and we start like.
[1754.3s] Did you just like.
[1755.0s] Talking about.
[1755.5s] Look down my shirt by any chance.
[1757.2s] Because she did say.
[1758.3s] Oh, okay.
[1759.0s] Well, we're close.
[1759.6s] They're very snuggle.
[1760.7s] Yeah.
[1763.3s] Well, I'm about to go on a very long journey.
[1766.9s] Really?
[1767.1s] To the Baldrick Mountains.
[1770.7s] I just laughed and fogged up my glasses completely.
[1775.0s] Yeah, I'll be leaving probably tomorrow.
[1778.7s] Leaving town tomorrow, so.
[1781.6s] Oh, such.
[1781.9s] I guess it'll just be my last, last night in Waterdeep.
[1784.8s] Such a pity.
[1785.5s] The Baldrick Mountains are very far away.
[1788.8s] Yes, yes.
[1789.8s] I have to go find my.
[1794.0s] Father?
[1797.4s] Question mark?
[1799.1s] Well.
[1802.3s] More my.
[1804.6s] Creator.
[1806.4s] Intrigue.
[1808.5s] Yes, I have many fascinating stories to tell.
[1811.8s] Well, once you have wrapped up for the day, perhaps you.
[1815.5s] I would have some things that would help you on your journey.
[1819.9s] You could come back and and visit.
[1823.1s] That's very kind of you, Arvid.
[1825.3s] I will be back.
[1827.9s] Later today.
[1831.3s] Excellent.
[1835.1s] Okay, then.
[1835.8s] Are you two?
[1840.2s] Ready or is there?
[1841.0s] Oh yeah, no, I'm totally ready.
[1843.2s] I said thanks Arvid and I'm like walking out.
[1848.7s] So.
[1849.4s] Arvid.
[1850.7s] Arvid, hey.
[1853.0s] Well, I thought maybe with the jewelry, something.
[1856.5s] Oh, no.
[1857.4s] Was happening.
[1859.3s] Arvid and I are just pals.
[1862.2s] Okay.
[1862.5s] They got off to like a weird start.
[1866.0s] It was a whole thing.
[1866.8s] I mean, so did we, but like in a good way.
[1869.5s] Oh, I could feel it.
[1871.2s] Yeah.
[1873.5s] The word electric comes to mind and dagger for some reason.
[1878.2s] Yeah, what was with that much more sexual now than it was before.
[1881.8s] So where are you two off to now?
[1884.3s] You need to.
[1885.9s] Get the fuck out of here so you can hang out with Arvid.
[1888.7s] Get supplies or yeah.
[1890.9s] Yeah, lots of stuff to do.
[1893.5s] We gotta go do that stuff.
[1894.9s] So I'm gonna go get in tune with my amulet maybe.
[1900.8s] Gonna go hit up the smithy.
[1903.8s] See if I can work on anything.
[1907.6s] You have fun there Lex.
[1909.5s] Well, thank you and thank you for getting me out of prison all those weeks ago and for.
[1917.2s] For everything.
[1918.3s] I really wish you luck finding Donnie.
[1920.7s] It's a real tragedy.
[1922.2s] If I see him or hear any word of anything about him on my journey, I'll send word to you.
[1935.8s] I guess this is goodbye.
[1938.2s] I guess it is.
[1941.2s] Can I, and I like put my hands out for a hug.
[1943.9s] Like, can I?
[1946.3s] And I, of course.
[1948.3s] Yeah, hug it up.
[1949.1s] Hug.
[1952.3s] Yeah, I want to end on some of this hug action too.
[1954.3s] Tall person, tall person, crotch level.
[1957.7s] Yeah, he's four feet.
[1959.6s] He's slightly above crotch.
[1962.0s] Slightly above crotch level.
[1964.3s] That's math.
[1964.7s] We have a nice hug.
[1980.1s] Interlude, interlude.
[1981.9s] This is a completely original interlude song.
[1984.3s] Don't sue us, Dosnie.
[1986.5s] It's gonna be okay.
[1987.9s] Welcome to the middle everybody.
[1989.7s] How you doing today?
[1991.6s] Super great episode where we totally resolved all the things you wanted resolved.
[1996.0s] Tune in next week for more.
[1998.0s] But first.
[1998.7s] When Russ puts us back in a maze.
[2000.5s] Where we all have really great stories where we reveal a whole bunch of really
[2003.7s] great things is over on our other podcast.
[2006.2s] Which is called Facing Fate.
[2007.8s] Did you know we had another podcast you might have?
[2010.0s] Because we mention it sometimes.
[2011.2s] I knew.
[2011.9s] I also knew.
[2012.9s] I had not heard that.
[2016.6s] Hearing this for the first time?
[2017.8s] Thank you to two of you for paying attention to what we do.
[2020.7s] Just kidding.
[2021.5s] I know all about it.
[2022.5s] I listened to the last episode.
[2024.1s] And by listen to the last episode, I mean I skipped through all the scary parts.
[2031.0s] Because I wanted to hear the end.
[2033.1s] With her fingers in her ears.
[2034.3s] That's a little teaser about the content.
[2036.3s] It's pretty scary.
[2038.3s] It's kind of spooky.
[2040.1s] It's okay you guys.
[2041.4s] It's okay.
[2042.0s] So Facing Fate.
[2043.8s] We're just going to give you the elevator pitch now.
[2045.5s] We want you to go listen to it because we're so very proud of it.
[2048.5s] The first season.
[2049.6s] Every season is going to be different.
[2051.7s] Set that up there.
[2052.5s] So new characters, new story, new everything.
[2054.4s] But the first season is on the moon.
[2057.2s] What?
[2058.2s] What?
[2059.1s] So sci-fi.
[2060.3s] It's got thrills.
[2061.7s] It's got scaries that keep Carla up at night.
[2064.9s] Especially when we were playing it.
[2066.5s] Because I'd leave it on real good cliffhangers.
[2069.5s] It's like based in the real world.
[2071.0s] So we're playing real people.
[2072.7s] Except, you know, all the horror sci-fi stuff that isn't quite real.
[2076.2s] But we're like all human people.
[2078.0s] Yeah.
[2078.6s] That isn't real yet, Roz.
[2081.1s] Isn't real yet.
[2081.9s] Yeah.
[2082.3s] No.
[2082.6s] There's a lot of foreshadowing in here that if it comes true, we might be in trouble.
[2088.0s] Or we'll know exactly what to do.
[2089.8s] Oh, that's true too.
[2090.9s] Yeah.
[2091.4s] Yeah.

[2130.7s] I find it amazing we were able to tell a story in just 10 episodes
[2134.5s] because it took us more than that to get out of that maze.
[2137.7s] Yeah.
[2138.1s] It took you seven episodes.

[2167.7s] Love you.
[2168.1s] Bye.
[2168.6s] Bye.
[2168.9s] The three of you part ways.
[2178.6s] Flint and Thea, I assume you have rooms here.
[2183.9s] I just assume we just have standing chambers.
[2186.7s] Yep.
[2187.1s] Yeah.
[2187.3s] I would assume there's some sort of quarters.
[2189.0s] For the decimators of dragons.
[2191.2s] You head there to go rest, clean up, get whatever you need sorted.
[2196.5s] I got to rub the smell of sex off of me because of what was going on in that room.
[2201.5s] I'll wash that off.
[2203.7s] Lex, where do you go and what do you do?
[2208.3s] We don't have to necessarily go there.
[2212.7s] Maybe you do other something before we close the scene on that.
[2216.6s] I don't want to seem desperate.
[2218.2s] No, yeah.
[2218.7s] He said later.
[2219.2s] Because you said later tonight and then like you turn around five minutes later
[2222.6s] and you're like.
[2225.1s] It's later.
[2226.0s] So I.
[2227.9s] Ditch those losers.
[2230.7s] I feel like I've been traveling for a long time.
[2233.5s] So maybe I go like clean up somewhere.
[2239.0s] Gussy myself up.
[2240.6s] Sure.
[2241.2s] Yeah, absolutely.
[2242.7s] I don't.
[2243.1s] Is there bath houses?
[2244.5s] We ever done that before?
[2245.9s] I don't know that I'd get a room in an inn because I feel like I might have
[2248.9s] somewhere to stay tonight.
[2252.0s] Whoa.
[2253.8s] Sure.
[2254.1s] Yeah, there's yeah, bath houses.
[2256.8s] Sure.
[2257.2s] There's that you go clean up and you are I mean you get some looks
[2264.7s] because of your self.
[2267.7s] Yeah, yeah, because of the whole thing going on.
[2271.1s] Giant modeled skin held together with stitches, you know, that whole thing.
[2277.9s] And then you head back out.
[2279.7s] It's kind of around.
[2280.9s] Yeah, it's probably I don't know how.
[2282.7s] How long does it take to use a bath house?
[2284.9s] 20 minutes an hour.
[2286.8s] I don't know.
[2287.5s] Say an hour for.
[2288.4s] I have a drink.
[2289.2s] Maybe I eat some food.
[2290.3s] I don't know.
[2290.7s] You soak in there.
[2292.7s] Have a steam.
[2295.1s] You take your time.
[2296.1s] You get cleaned up.
[2297.5s] You head back out into the streets.
[2299.9s] You're headed back towards Castle Water Deep when you hear a.
[2305.0s] What sounds to you like a cry for help down an alleyway?
[2310.2s] Well, I go see what's happening.
[2312.7s] You run down the alley and turn a corner and you see three men kicking down at someone on the ground.
[2323.2s] What are you?
[2323.8s] Hey, what are you doing?
[2325.1s] And I like run towards them.
[2327.5s] They hear you yell out.
[2328.9s] Look up and say, let's get out of here.
[2330.4s] Go, go.
[2332.1s] They run off.
[2333.1s] They keep running down the alley.
[2335.7s] Do you pursue or do you stop at the person they were kicking in?
[2339.1s] How does the person look?
[2341.9s] Doesn't look very good.
[2343.2s] It looks like they've been.
[2344.5s] They are currently unconscious.
[2346.9s] Blood is dripping pretty much everywhere.
[2350.7s] They look very bad.
[2352.6s] Then I will stop.
[2355.1s] You see the three run away and you kneel down towards the male who's dressed in.
[2363.2s] He's dressed in commoners' clothings.
[2366.0s] He doesn't look like he himself is very well off.
[2369.9s] And he kind of coughs as you do what you do.
[2376.9s] So I'm going to kneel beside him and try to see if I can tell where he is most injured.
[2388.2s] Just with like a cursory kind of pat down or it's maybe obvious.
[2391.8s] Sure.
[2392.3s] Yeah, you check him out and his rib cage has been almost entirely crushed in.
[2399.1s] He's got large goose eggs and welts across a couple of spots on his head.
[2406.0s] You can tell he's got a broken arm at the very least.
[2409.9s] Possibly a broken leg.
[2413.4s] Okay.
[2413.7s] So I'm going to put a hand on his head and then one on his midsection by those crushed ribs
[2420.3s] and I am going to channel lay on hands and try to heal him.
[2428.7s] So you put your hand on his head and his midsection and then describe to me again
[2435.9s] your process and what it looks like as your life force transfers into this man.
[2442.8s] Sure, and so this is a bit more intense than when it was just
[2445.5s] what I tried, like that kind of basic trying with Flint on the wagon.
[2452.1s] So hand on head, hand on midsection, eyes closed, like my full concentration.
[2461.3s] So totally vulnerable at this point to anyone who might want to attack me.
[2467.3s] And I sort of just gather what feels like, but of course I don't see this,
[2473.3s] but like feels like a pool of yellow light in my chest that I then like channel out
[2480.4s] through my hands into this injured person.
[2486.1s] This energy leaves you and you feel below your hands, the bones begin to crack back
[2493.5s] into place and the muscles begin to pop back where they should be.
[2498.7s] It's a long process and you yourself begin to feel his wounds almost beginning to transfer to
[2508.9s] you. You feel strain on your ribs and head and limbs as you are doing this. Do you continue?
[2520.6s] I do.
[2521.0s] I feel like once I am in this state and I have maybe never been this deep into this state before,
[2532.3s] it is the pain of what is happening to my body is sort of happening like
[2539.3s] outside of my awareness or I'm like somewhat aware that it is happening,
[2543.1s] but really I am just concentrating on this yellow light.
[2551.1s] The energy continues to transfer into the man. Perseus sensing that things are happening,
[2561.9s] climbs up and out of your pocket, runs down your shoulder and to the ground and
[2567.7s] you can't see him, but they are looking back up at you.
[2572.8s] And the man takes a deep breath. You feel that breath as
[2583.2s] the man's wounds have entirely healed.
[2588.5s] The energy stops flowing and you feel yourself crumple to the ground beside him.
[2598.4s] Perseus rushes to you
[2603.1s] tending to some of the wounds that have opened up in your own body. You open your eyes and you
[2610.5s] look down and the skin has begun to peel back at the seams of where your limbs and
[2619.2s] various different parts come together worse than you've ever seen them before.
[2633.9s] I think that I would just like, you know, this is my very best friend in the whole world,
[2639.0s] Perseus, and I just kind of like stroke his back and say like, it's okay, it's okay,
[2644.2s] I'm okay, and maybe even try and give him a little of that soothing energy that I
[2652.3s] shot Leosin in that handshake earlier, so which is just like the tiniest lowest level
[2659.9s] feeling just to calm him.
[2663.9s] You lay with Perseus and this man in the alleyway for quite a while until you
[2672.6s] hear footsteps walking up the alleyway and you sense them come up behind you
[2682.7s] and you feel yourself being picked up.
[2689.7s] The man, you look down, you see him, he is not conscious but he is completely healed.
[2699.8s] He's got blood stains on his clothes and on his skin but you can tell that you have brought him
[2705.5s] back from death where he would have been. You look to the side and you see Arvid
[2713.4s] and he picks you up and walks back with you to his office.
[2723.4s] We'll get you cleaned up here.
[2729.8s] I told you I'd see you later.
[2733.2s] That you did.
[2751.9s] We go back to Flint and Thea who are back in Leosin's office and he says,
[2757.4s] well, we do have someone down in Calum Shan. I almost forgot where you were going.
[2766.2s] You're jet set individuals, aren't you? Calum Shan, that's where we're going.
[2771.4s] Yes, still want to?
[2772.7s] Yes, absolutely.
[2775.8s] I just thought you were going to say it.
[2779.6s] I like the element of surprise. I'm working on my delivery. Too much?
[2785.0s] No, you're doing great.
[2786.0s] Great, perfect. I mean, it's a new look for you.
[2791.5s] I was told that I was too by the books. I had to be a little bit more of a storyteller.
[2797.0s] You've been going to like Toastmasters and stuff?
[2800.5s] Yes.
[2804.8s] God, nothing kills a conversation like bringing up Toastmasters.
[2811.0s] Sorry, Toastmasters, sorry about that.
[2813.5s] Yes. Here's the thing, Calum Shan, very far away. The person you are going to meet,
[2821.7s] they go by the name of Yenbul. Might get the pronunciation wrong,
[2826.5s] not entirely sure, but that's who we are aware of.
[2830.6s] Yenbul?
[2832.3s] Yes, Y-E-N-B-U-L, Yenbul. We'll find out when we meet them.
[2839.3s] So you have not met this person?
[2841.1s] I mean, it's been a while since they've been here. I'm only super new here
[2848.3s] in the grand scheme of things.
[2852.3s] So yes, mostly written correspondence since they've been down there quite a while.
[2861.5s] Now, Calum Shan, like I said, very far away.
[2865.5s] There are a couple ways we can get you there.
[2867.5s] One is by teleportation, quick, simple. We can get you into Calumport, which is the capital,
[2874.8s] where Yenbul is supposed to be. We can tell them, send ahead of you to meet you,
[2881.3s] and then hopefully figure out where this temple, where the temple is.
[2885.3s] Hopefully, it's very obvious. I'm thinking it might not be.
[2891.2s] Option B,
[2892.4s] option B, oh, hiccup with the teleport, getting you back.
[2902.9s] We don't have quite the same system set up down there as we do here,
[2907.7s] so you'd either have to figure out, find someone down there who could teleport you back,
[2911.9s] or we could send a ship down, pick you up, bring you back.
[2917.1s] Option B, you take a ship down all the way,
[2920.6s] and then take the ship back. Depends what you want to do.
[2924.6s] I'm just giving you the options. Well, I think time is of the essence.
[2928.5s] I say, teleport down, ship back up. How long does a ship take?
[2936.4s] Several weeks. Yeah, okay.
[2939.2s] So instead of several weeks times two, it'll just be several weeks.
[2945.6s] Some people are very anti-magic, which is why I have to give both options.
[2951.7s] I know you two are really cool. Can we not do it both ways?
[2960.3s] No, it doesn't work the same way in Kalisham.
[2967.0s] Just because we don't have the same network set up down there, you would have to specifically,
[2970.3s] or you and Yen Bull, maybe Yen Bull knows somebody, that is an option as well.
[2974.4s] But you would have to find someone who could teleport you.
[2977.9s] Okay, gotcha.
[2980.3s] But we would send the ship to be sure that you have a way of getting back.
[2986.4s] Not just left on your own devices.
[2988.7s] Could take us a few weeks just to find the temple, so.
[2991.6s] Very well could.
[2994.2s] So if that's all we can send you down there,
[2999.2s] Arvid says they're trying very hard to track down Donnie,
[3002.6s] but it's turning up not so fruitful so far.
[3009.4s] We will send word if we find him in your absence.
[3017.1s] Very sorry.
[3019.4s] We'll find him.
[3021.0s] Yes. The fact that we can't find him is good, because it means, well, I mean,
[3029.0s] it's not good. It's better. It means he might not be in this realm, this plane.
[3037.9s] And that's good for us?
[3040.5s] Well, it means he has a possibility of being alive. You know, Monk Should's Cat?
[3050.5s] What?
[3051.5s] Oh, you know, Monk Should's Cat.
[3054.0s] Monk Should's Cat.
[3055.4s] Yes.
[3056.4s] Like Monk Should Cat?
[3058.7s] No, no, no. Like the famous wizard Monk Should.
[3062.2s] The famous wizard Monk Should?
[3063.9s] Yes. And how he posited, if I have this magical box, and I told you there's a cat in it,
[3074.7s] but you don't know if there's a cat in it, the cat is both alive and dead in the magical box.
[3083.1s] Right.
[3083.9s] So Donnie is both alive and dead in this magical plane.
[3089.1s] In another plane. Whereas if they had found him...
[3092.8s] Would be either...
[3094.9s] We would know.
[3095.4s] Yes. Exactly. I'm just saying. Monk Should's Cat.
[3098.5s] Monk Should's Cat. Perfect. I will write that one down.
[3102.2s] He probably should, because I don't remember him.
[3103.9s] I'm going to look into Monk Should, see if maybe he can come to a seminar on some such...
[3112.8s] Well, I don't know if he's still alive, but I mean...
[3117.3s] That hasn't stopped us before.
[3122.6s] Fair enough.
[3126.4s] Is there anything you need prior to leaving? We'll assume that you've got all like basic
[3131.0s] stuff. You know, you've sharpened your weapons, you've got your food, rations,
[3135.0s] clothes, whatever you want.
[3136.3s] All that stuff that other people do in D&D, but we just assume is always
[3140.7s] magically taken care of.
[3143.8s] Is there anything, any specific questions about Callum Shan that you might have?
[3147.8s] I have, you know, tersary knowledge.
[3150.7s] What's the weather like? Hot? Cold?
[3153.1s] It's very desert-like. Very hot.
[3156.9s] Okay. Any wild animals that we might not find here that might freak us the fuck out?
[3164.6s] I mean, there are, you know, regional monsters, regional, that sort of thing.
[3173.4s] There are a great amount of gins and genies that you, I'm told, should be wary of.
[3184.8s] Okay.
[3185.9s] They're mischievous, is the lore that they send back,
[3192.2s] that people don't trust them very much.
[3195.0s] So don't put all our eggs in their basket.
[3198.0s] You might not want to put any of your eggs in their basket,
[3200.9s] but especially not all of them.
[3203.0s] All right. Are these Callum Shanians?
[3208.5s] Kalashites.
[3209.5s] Kalashites.
[3212.3s] Okay. Sorry.
[3217.2s] Do they worship any particular gods?
[3220.3s] Um, not in particular. Nothing, nothing. No.
[3227.6s] Okay, cool.
[3228.1s] Nothing in particular.
[3229.3s] What you'll find down there is they are,
[3231.6s] because they're such an ancient civilization, they, they're very,
[3237.9s] you'll find a lot more magic usage down there.
[3242.6s] Nice.
[3243.4s] So, being a bit more commonplace, the rumors you hear down by the docks
[3248.7s] is that everyone and their, and their dog owns a magic carpet.
[3253.3s] Lee Olsen, what are you doing down by the docks?
[3257.1s] These are the rumors that make it back to me.
[3260.9s] It's just, if you hear-
[3261.8s] Clean cut guy like you wouldn't last five minutes in the docks.
[3264.8s] This is why I don't go down to the docks.
[3266.9s] I just-
[3267.5s] Okay. Well, I would also like to have a magic carpet.
[3270.1s] Well, um, that's just the rumors that they're very magical.
[3275.1s] They, they, they all just treat it as a normal thing.
[3279.4s] And perhaps you should too.
[3281.6s] Desert-like, there's some jungles, depending on where you go,
[3284.9s] it's mixed, it's very large.
[3286.4s] So, you'll run into a whole bunch of different things,
[3288.4s] depending on where you actually have to go,
[3290.1s] where Yen Bull thinks that your temple is.
[3293.7s] Okay. Well.
[3296.1s] And with that, he takes you down to the teleportation chamber,
[3300.2s] where you've been before.
[3302.2s] I alter self, khaki shorts, tank top, gossamer cape.
[3310.3s] Is there a time limit on your alter self or you just-
[3313.1s] No, I can just alter self.
[3315.3s] Okay, cool. Perfect.
[3316.3s] It's just a fun thing I can do now that I'm so supes powerful.
[3318.4s] The cape is a nice touch.
[3319.6s] Flint, what is your, your attire?
[3321.4s] Knowing that it's a desert locale, what is, how does Flint dress?
[3325.9s] Yeah. I mean, I guess he's going to have to steal a page from Merle and go beach dwarf.
[3331.5s] Okay, cool. Sandals, flip flops.
[3334.9s] Oh, flip flops, Hawaiian shirt.
[3337.3s] Well, actually, no, like those-
[3338.6s] No, go gladiator sandals.
[3340.8s] Active sandals. Yeah.
[3342.1s] So you can like go out and climb rocks and stuff,
[3344.3s] but still have your feet out.
[3345.8s] I like it.
[3346.3s] So we'll go with those.
[3348.1s] Tommy Bahama style Hawaiian shirt.
[3350.4s] Yes.
[3351.1s] And not cargo shorts, but like big shorts.
[3355.4s] I look over at you and I go, fucking tourist.
[3358.5s] You're going to blend in marvelously. I can ju- both of you. I can just feel it.
[3364.3s] Perfect.
[3364.8s] All right, wizards. And you step into the teleportation circles and the wizards begin
[3371.5s] their incantations and the runes begin to glow and you begin to fade.
[3375.6s] And I shout out, tell Arvid to use protection.
[3380.2s] You just see a very confused look on Leo's face as you snap out.
[3388.5s] And there is a flash and a rumble and an explosion.
[3398.0s] And you are thrown hard against the side of a building.
