[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons
[60.0s] I grab him by the shoulder. Don't you miss the adventure, Shu?
[64.0s] I do miss the adventure, Tully. And yes, it is a big sword, boot.
[68.0s] Like I said, I know that you're risking... I don't want you to get in trouble or lose your job.
[72.0s] No, I'm not worried about that. I can find another job in a heartbeat.
[76.0s] Let's leave the way!
[78.0s] We leave through the actual door. I assume exchanging looks of concern.
[82.0s] And I whisper back, like, we'll take care of him. He'll be fine. Poor guy.
[88.0s] He might be a good lookout. It'll be fine.
[110.0s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More.
[114.0s] And with me today is Carla Maxted.
[116.0s] That is me. I play Glim or do I play Slim? Both. Glim as Slim.
[123.0s] And Amy More.
[125.0s] That's me and I play Sully or is it Tully?
[130.0s] Gonna find out. And last but not least, Tom Laird.
[133.0s] And I play Boot. But usually Moot.
[137.0s] Just the conversion is complete. Just Boot now.
[141.0s] You know, be the change you want to see in the world.
[143.0s] To really become one with the character.
[145.0s] That's right.
[147.0s] We need more boots in the world.
[149.0s] Need more boot?
[150.0s] This boot is made for walk-in.
[152.0s] Ho! That's just what we're gonna do on this boat with our new friend ShoeLeftHand
[159.0s] who is a NPC who has contributed to us by one of our patrons, John Creighton.
[164.0s] Thank you, John. Thanks, John.
[166.0s] When you are a patron at the in-world tier, you can suggest NPCs and items
[173.0s] for our characters to run across and acquire.
[178.0s] And we would love to have you over there.
[180.0s] Patreon.com slash dumbdragoncast.
[182.0s] When you are a patron, you also get an episode dedicated to you.
[185.0s] Like today's patron, Deesa.
[188.0s] Thanks, Deesa.
[189.0s] Thank you, Deesa.
[190.0s] Thank you.
[192.0s] And now, after you go check that out, Patreon.com slash dumbdragoncast.
[196.0s] Fuck it! Let's play D&D!
[201.0s] You know, you're standing on the dock, looking up at the ship.
[205.0s] You've had a moment to kind of survey the scene,
[207.0s] see if you can see anybody walking to, fro, anywhere around.
[211.0s] There are two gangplanks that you can walk up to from the dock.
[215.0s] On the deck of the ship, you can see two or three people walking perimeters
[220.0s] doing routine checks, from what you can tell.
[224.0s] We see the four silhouetted figures standing, looking up at the golden dragon.
[230.0s] How big is the ship? You said it was a big ship, but like...
[234.0s] Yup.
[236.0s] That is what I said.
[238.0s] Like, when we're standing on the dock, we can see onto the deck, like...
[242.0s] Yeah, how tall is the ship?
[244.0s] So the gangplank goes up at, you know, like...
[246.0s] It's quite tall.
[247.0s] A 30-degree angle or...
[249.0s] More like a 45.
[251.0s] That'd be a very steep angle.
[253.0s] It's quite steep.
[254.0s] Yeah, maybe like 25, 30 degrees.
[256.0s] This is not super duper tall.
[258.0s] Not super tall.
[259.0s] Tall enough, though.
[260.0s] Like, it's long and wide.
[263.0s] Not super tall.
[265.0s] You can see port windows that lead you to believe that there is
[269.0s] one lower deck that you can justify.
[273.0s] And the two gangplanks are, like, equidistant along the body of the boat?
[281.0s] Yup.
[282.0s] Okay.
[283.0s] So it's not like...
[284.0s] There's not a front door and a back door.
[286.0s] There's just two mid-deck gangplanks.
[289.0s] Yes, exactly.
[290.0s] As you're kind of surveying what you're looking at, Shu speaks up,
[295.0s] and he's like, and they've got...
[297.0s] There's, like, when they offload, there's a thing at the back there
[305.0s] where the cargo comes out, like a big door.
[310.0s] Like a chute?
[311.0s] Well, no, like a door that opens and you can pull things out of.
[317.0s] Like a garage?
[318.0s] What's a garage?
[319.0s] It's something where the door goes up and you can put things in it.
[324.0s] Then, yeah, it's exactly like a garage.
[326.0s] Okay, cool.
[328.0s] Okay.
[329.0s] I don't know where the open switch is, if it has a switch
[333.0s] or if it's like a lever or if it's a...
[336.0s] You just push it.
[337.0s] Well, we'll see it on our tour, I guess, right?
[339.0s] I guess you'll see it on your tour.
[341.0s] All right, so where do you want me set up for...
[344.0s] Well, if you were going to get on the ship for a tour,
[347.0s] you've probably been on, like, a million boats, so...
[350.0s] At least.
[351.0s] Where do you think...
[352.0s] Or would, like, the coolest stuff be?
[355.0s] Well, what kind...
[356.0s] I mean, whatever.
[357.0s] Front door, back door, I don't know.
[359.0s] Well, I mean, generally, there's ways to get in.
[364.0s] The way this one looks like it's designed
[366.0s] is maybe there's, like, a staircase up at the...
[369.0s] up at the nose there.
[371.0s] Maybe there's...
[372.0s] That, like, goes down, like,
[373.0s] so we can see all, like, the cool merch
[375.0s] and stuff that there's...
[376.0s] Well, it doesn't go up.
[379.0s] You're a funny guy.
[381.0s] Yeah.
[382.0s] See, you're right.
[385.0s] But, like, that's where they keep all the cool stuff.
[387.0s] What kind of cool stuff are you looking for?
[389.0s] Well, like...
[390.0s] I don't know, just cool stuff.
[391.0s] Just, like, boat stuff, ship things.
[394.0s] Well, because you said they, like,
[395.0s] all were, like, wizardy stuff and stuff.
[397.0s] Like, I ain't never seen stuff like that before.
[399.0s] You're looking for the...
[400.0s] for the cargo.
[402.0s] Oh, yeah.
[403.0s] Yeah, the cool stuff.
[404.0s] Oh, well, that's at the back.
[405.0s] I said the...
[406.0s] That's the cool stuff.
[407.0s] Well, I mean, we're really easily entertained.
[410.0s] So we could, like, start at the back
[411.0s] and then move our way forward in our tour?
[415.0s] Yeah, if you can get down there at the back.
[418.0s] I don't know what kind of access points
[420.0s] they have to get down below deck.
[422.0s] Like I said, it looks like there's a staircase,
[424.0s] judging where they keep coming up and down.
[426.0s] There's a staircase there,
[427.0s] but I don't see anybody disappear in midship.
[430.0s] Doesn't mean there's not some sort of
[432.0s] porthole or anything, but...
[434.0s] A portal?
[436.0s] Tully doesn't like portals.
[438.0s] I really don't.
[439.0s] No, a port, porthole.
[441.0s] Oh, a hole on the port side.
[443.0s] Oh, okay, porthole, not portal.
[446.0s] Right, right, right, right.
[447.0s] Okay, cool.
[448.0s] What about...
[449.0s] I mean, you're used to, like, being out here
[452.0s] on the dock and looking casual
[454.0s] and just, like, looking at your clipboard.
[457.0s] Tully nonchAlydint and stuff.
[459.0s] Kicking his feet.
[460.0s] Being totally cool and chill and, like...
[464.0s] Yeah, yeah.
[465.0s] You know, like a dock specialist.
[467.0s] So probably you don't really...
[468.0s] You just need to stay, like,
[469.0s] kind of in front of the boat.
[470.0s] You don't need to be, like,
[471.0s] in front of that specific gangplank
[473.0s] where we're gonna go up, right?
[474.0s] Sure.
[475.0s] You just need to, like, look normal.
[477.0s] Hey, are you an artist?
[479.0s] Am I an artist?
[481.0s] Like, pictures?
[482.0s] Yeah.
[484.0s] Paintings?
[485.0s] No, more like sketches.
[486.0s] Sure.
[487.0s] Sketches, caricatures?
[488.0s] Yeah.
[489.0s] No.
[490.0s] Well, I was just...
[491.0s] Why was you thinking?
[492.0s] Like, as you're out here,
[495.0s] because it might just...
[497.0s] I mean, no one's gonna say anything,
[498.0s] because, I mean, it's you.
[501.0s] But you could, like, have your clipboard out,
[504.0s] piece of blank paper,
[505.0s] maybe start drawing the boat.
[507.0s] And who knows?
[508.0s] Maybe you might find something,
[510.0s] like, really fulfilling in that.
[512.0s] Oh.
[513.0s] Right?
[514.0s] Then maybe I could trade somebody for it.
[516.0s] Oh.
[517.0s] Like, I could trade them the picture.
[519.0s] For sure.
[520.0s] Something.
[521.0s] Yeah.
[522.0s] Like, money.
[523.0s] Yeah.
[524.0s] Totally.
[525.0s] But, I mean, that's also a good,
[527.0s] like, undercover thing.
[529.0s] What are you doing out here?
[530.0s] Just sketching the boat.
[531.0s] You awesome guy.
[532.0s] Just sketching the ins and outs
[534.0s] of this boat here.
[535.0s] No, not the ins and outs.
[536.0s] Just, like, the beautiful curvature
[538.0s] of the lines of the boat.
[539.0s] Right.
[540.0s] And the sunset,
[541.0s] the dusky sky at the back.
[544.0s] Right?
[545.0s] Right, yeah.
[546.0s] Be an art...
[547.0s] Shape.
[548.0s] Yeah, like, artistic stuff.
[549.0s] That's right.
[550.0s] Shape.
[551.0s] Be the artiologist.
[552.0s] An artiologist.
[553.0s] Yeah.
[554.0s] Yeah.
[555.0s] It's a new...
[556.0s] I haven't heard of that job before.
[557.0s] It sounds very...
[558.0s] doc specialist.
[559.0s] Totally.
[560.0s] Artiologist.
[561.0s] Artiologist.
[562.0s] Doc specialist.
[563.0s] Yeah, maybe you're a DSA now
[565.0s] instead of just a DS.
[566.0s] Dang.
[567.0s] Getting a longer title
[568.0s] out of this whole thing.
[570.0s] Shoes...
[571.0s] What did we call our group?
[572.0s] Shoes Four?
[573.0s] Shoes...
[574.0s] Shoes Crew.
[575.0s] Shoes Crew.
[576.0s] Shoes Crew.
[577.0s] Shoes Crew.
[578.0s] Right.
[579.0s] I forgot from when we walked
[580.0s] over here.
[581.0s] Yeah, well, it was kind of
[582.0s] a long walk.
[583.0s] Yeah.
[584.0s] I'm still surprised
[585.0s] you three aren't as
[587.0s] drink as I am.
[589.0s] Well, I do that whole thing
[590.0s] where I have one
[591.0s] and then I have
[592.0s] a lot of water
[593.0s] and then I have one
[594.0s] and then I have
[595.0s] a lot of water
[596.0s] because I learned
[597.0s] that if I throw up
[598.0s] all over...
[599.0s] all over Boots Boots
[600.0s] over here,
[601.0s] he gets kind of mad.
[602.0s] He gets so mad.
[603.0s] He's a real chill dude
[604.0s] until you throw up
[605.0s] all over him.
[606.0s] He does seem chill.
[607.0s] True.
[608.0s] Chill dude.
[609.0s] All right.
[610.0s] Well, I try not to
[611.0s] throw up on your Boots Boots.
[612.0s] Boots.
[613.0s] I mean, all I can do
[614.0s] is ask that you try.
[615.0s] I will try.
[616.0s] All right.
[617.0s] I'm going to...
[618.0s] You got your pencil.
[619.0s] He pulls out his clipboard.
[620.0s] And so he starts
[622.0s] looking at the ship
[623.0s] but not looking at the ship
[624.0s] and like sketching
[625.0s] and looking over his shoulder.
[627.0s] Man, you look so fucking natural.
[629.0s] Thank you.
[631.0s] I'm going to just
[632.0s] try and blend in here.
[636.0s] I mean, you don't have to
[637.0s] try that hard.
[638.0s] You belong here.
[639.0s] Don't over-sell it.
[640.0s] You work here.
[642.0s] Hey, yeah, I work here.
[643.0s] I work here.
[644.0s] You don't need to yell though.
[645.0s] That's all right.
[646.0s] Because now you're just
[647.0s] drawing attention to yourself.
[648.0s] Okay, let's go you guys.
[649.0s] Do we want to go
[650.0s] all up one plank
[651.0s] or should we
[652.0s] go separately?
[653.0s] I don't know.
[654.0s] Maybe stay together.
[655.0s] I don't know.
[656.0s] I think we should stay together
[657.0s] because it's a pretty big boat.
[659.0s] And what if we go in the back
[660.0s] and then we find like
[661.0s] all the stuff right away
[662.0s] and then one person's up there
[664.0s] and...
[665.0s] Fair enough.
[666.0s] That'd be silly.
[667.0s] Okay.
[668.0s] Good point.
[669.0s] Good idea, Slim.
[670.0s] Let's go.
[671.0s] We sneak up toward the back.
[673.0s] We want to go
[674.0s] up the plank.
[675.0s] Yeah, near more
[676.0s] where the cargo would be.
[677.0s] Okay.
[678.0s] You go up the plank
[680.0s] more near the back of the ship.
[682.0s] Everybody make a
[685.0s] stealth roll.
[690.0s] I mean, you've been watching this.
[692.0s] Yeah, make a straight stealth roll.
[694.0s] I mean, I assume we'll wait
[695.0s] and we're like,
[696.0s] if there's guards walking around,
[698.0s] we wait until they're not
[699.0s] standing right there.
[700.0s] We've established that you've
[702.0s] been watching the rotation.
[703.0s] Well, we've been watching
[705.0s] this boat since it docked.
[707.0s] Yes.
[708.0s] Also true.
[710.0s] 20.
[712.0s] 17.
[713.0s] No, do I have a plus?
[714.0s] I do not.
[715.0s] 17.
[716.0s] So that's a 16 for me.
[717.0s] All right.
[718.0s] You get up to the top
[720.0s] of the plank
[721.0s] and kind of peek your heads over.
[724.0s] You watch and you see...
[727.0s] You time it just so that
[729.0s] you see one of the crew
[732.0s] kind of walking down to the far end.
[735.0s] And once you're up to the top,
[737.0s] you see that there's a bit of a rise
[739.0s] to another platform.
[742.0s] Everybody make an investigation.
[745.0s] Investigation.
[746.0s] You're not going to be able to
[747.0s] sit there for very long.
[748.0s] Perception.
[750.0s] That's a three.
[752.0s] Perceptigation.
[753.0s] That's a seven.
[757.0s] Oh, that's a 19.
[758.0s] Thank God.
[759.0s] So the three of you get up
[761.0s] and you're quickly surveying around.
[763.0s] You see this rise that kind of
[764.0s] is like right in front of where
[766.0s] the plank comes onto the ship,
[768.0s] about 10 feet over.
[770.0s] Then there's a bit of a run down
[772.0s] to where the wheel is
[774.0s] and the mast in the center of the ship.
[779.0s] I'm going to assume that you're going to run
[781.0s] kind of over to there
[782.0s] because that's where cover is.
[784.0s] And as you're going over,
[786.0s] you notice that there are two
[788.0s] hidden doors, for lack of a better term,
[791.0s] in the floor as you kind of
[793.0s] as you're back up against where this
[795.0s] where the steering wheel is.
[796.0s] And you hear footsteps coming up
[798.0s] from the front,
[799.0s] walking back towards your position.
[802.0s] Are we sheltered from where
[804.0s] this person's walking?
[805.0s] Like if we're,
[806.0s] are they on the other side of it
[807.0s] compared to where we are?
[809.0s] Yes.
[810.0s] So they're walking up the far side
[812.0s] from where you were standing
[813.0s] and coming aboard.
[815.0s] But yeah, there's like a five foot rise.
[817.0s] So you're all kind of hunched duck down.
[820.0s] So no one can see you currently,
[822.0s] but Moot, you see those two
[824.0s] doors in the floor.
[826.0s] I make like the shush motion
[829.0s] and then I point at the doors in the floor
[832.0s] and I kind of give like a
[834.0s] shrug, like should we go for this?
[837.0s] Mm hmm.
[838.0s] And then I feel like we maybe like
[839.0s] exchange glances and then like
[841.0s] Nod.
[842.0s] Thumbs up.
[843.0s] Yeah.
[844.0s] I point to
[846.0s] glim
[847.0s] and then I make strong muscle.
[850.0s] Oh, right.
[851.0s] Yep.
[852.0s] Because you might be the one
[853.0s] who would lift it.
[854.0s] Okay.
[855.0s] Because, you know, usually they're
[858.0s] made of solid wood and are heavy,
[860.0s] I would assume.
[861.0s] Yeah, it's probably probably
[862.0s] just dead lifting from the ground.
[863.0s] It's probably heavy.
[864.0s] Yeah.
[865.0s] You do that in your sleep.
[866.0s] That's right.
[867.0s] And if it doesn't let go
[868.0s] of your donkey, you can always
[869.0s] blast it in the face.
[871.0s] Always an option.
[874.0s] Always an option.
[875.0s] Let's light it on fire.
[877.0s] Okay.
[878.0s] Sorry.
[879.0s] You're going for the doors.
[880.0s] I say your stealth roles are
[882.0s] were high enough that you can get.
[884.0s] So you're going for the starboard
[886.0s] or port side?
[888.0s] I assume.
[889.0s] I guess what I was picturing
[890.0s] is we came up onto the port side
[892.0s] of the boat.
[893.0s] Is that?
[894.0s] You came up on the starboard side.
[895.0s] Starboard side.
[896.0s] Usually right side of the boat docks.
[899.0s] I'm learning so much.
[901.0s] It's going to be very nautical
[903.0s] because if you're looking at the
[904.0s] front of the ship, it's the right side.
[905.0s] So they're so they're
[907.0s] equidistant from the current
[908.0s] position where you are.
[909.0s] You're kind of in the middle of
[910.0s] the boat.
[911.0s] Steering wheel behind you.
[913.0s] Mast going up.
[916.0s] Person walking is coming up the
[918.0s] port side from the bow.
[921.0s] So equidistant from you kind of
[922.0s] between this rise that you saw
[924.0s] and the steering wheel are the
[926.0s] two doors in the floor.
[928.0s] One on the port, one on the
[929.0s] starboard.
[930.0s] Well, if the person is on the
[931.0s] port side, then I assume we're
[932.0s] going to try and open the one
[934.0s] on the starboard side, it seems
[935.0s] like.
[936.0s] You pop it open.
[937.0s] It kind of creaks a little bit,
[939.0s] but not much more than just the
[941.0s] sound of the ship rocking against
[944.0s] the dock.
[946.0s] And it's a ladder that goes
[948.0s] down to the deck below.
[950.0s] You go down, followed by.
[953.0s] I'll go second.
[954.0s] OK, Moot goes second.
[955.0s] Sully, make a stealth roll
[956.0s] because you're up the longest.
[957.0s] Oh, I'm glad I went second.
[961.0s] Oh, it's a nat 20.
[962.0s] You've got that good decks.
[963.0s] 27.
[964.0s] And as Moot's going down, you
[966.0s] like practically are like right
[967.0s] on top of him.
[969.0s] Getting a shoulder ride down.
[972.0s] But I've turned into a sheep
[973.0s] again and he is riding me
[975.0s] every time.
[976.0s] But getting in right behind
[977.0s] them, pulling the door closed
[978.0s] and just as the door closed,
[979.0s] the footsteps come up the
[981.0s] side and you see a crewman
[984.0s] looking to the side and then
[985.0s] walking back down doing his
[987.0s] patrol.
[988.0s] You swiftly move down the
[990.0s] ladder and come down into a
[993.0s] hallway that moves bow to
[997.0s] stern and there are several
[1000.0s] door.
[1001.0s] Yeah, several you can see in
[1003.0s] some of them.
[1004.0s] There are several open doors
[1006.0s] that look like they are just
[1007.0s] cots sleeping quarters that
[1010.0s] extend at least on the
[1011.0s] starboard side that you are
[1012.0s] on from your location.
[1014.0s] This hallway goes and it
[1015.0s] kind of looks like a dead
[1017.0s] end that at least turns
[1020.0s] towards the bow and then
[1022.0s] a more open area that extends
[1025.0s] to the back.
[1026.0s] I mean, we could have maybe
[1028.0s] like popped into the hall,
[1030.0s] saw that it all looked like
[1031.0s] sleeping quarters and then
[1032.0s] kept going because we know
[1033.0s] we're looking for like a
[1034.0s] cargo hold, right?
[1035.0s] I agree.
[1036.0s] So yeah, you check out this
[1038.0s] deck and then you keep going
[1040.0s] down the ladder.
[1042.0s] Everybody make a perception
[1044.0s] check as you're going down.
[1046.0s] I'm not very perceptive.
[1049.0s] Four.
[1050.0s] Fourteen.
[1053.0s] Oh, it's a 17.
[1054.0s] It should be all right
[1055.0s] regardless of bonus.
[1056.0s] OK, Glim, you're still first
[1057.0s] going down.
[1058.0s] I think so.
[1059.0s] You're quickly but cautiously
[1062.0s] going down the ladder
[1064.0s] further down into the cargo.
[1065.0s] What you can see now as the
[1067.0s] cargo deck.
[1069.0s] As you step down, you feel
[1071.0s] kind of a pressure on your
[1073.0s] foot and you stop before you
[1075.0s] step completely and you lift
[1077.0s] it.
[1078.0s] And there is a trip wire on
[1079.0s] the last rung of the ladder.
[1083.0s] Guys, bottom step.
[1087.0s] Don't step on the bottom step,
[1089.0s] OK?
[1090.0s] What did she say?
[1091.0s] No bottom step.
[1092.0s] No bottom step.
[1093.0s] You want my bottom out of
[1094.0s] your face?
[1095.0s] What?
[1096.0s] No, no.
[1097.0s] I mean, yes, but no, the
[1098.0s] bottom step is don't step
[1100.0s] on it.
[1101.0s] OK.
[1102.0s] And I get off the ladder so
[1104.0s] my friends can continue down.
[1108.0s] You step off.
[1109.0s] And as everybody steps down
[1111.0s] and begins to survey the
[1113.0s] scene that they are in, it
[1115.0s] is the area you come down
[1117.0s] into is wide open.
[1120.0s] Further back, there are
[1121.0s] crates.
[1123.0s] And even further back than
[1124.0s] that, you see cages and
[1126.0s] like slatted boxes that you
[1129.0s] can see scrolls or rolled
[1132.0s] up and rolled up maps.
[1135.0s] You see different crates
[1137.0s] filled with grains, casks of
[1140.0s] wine, stacks of lumber
[1143.0s] further back into the cargo
[1145.0s] area.
[1148.0s] If you begin walking
[1149.0s] around.
[1150.0s] I say cautiously.
[1152.0s] So I guess basically it's all
[1154.0s] just like an open, big
[1156.0s] storage room.
[1157.0s] Yes.
[1158.0s] I want to look for traps
[1160.0s] as I walk around.
[1161.0s] Just to be safe.
[1164.0s] Are you investigating for
[1166.0s] traps?
[1167.0s] Sure.
[1168.0s] Yeah.
[1169.0s] As I'm looking at box
[1172.0s] tops.
[1176.0s] The 14.
[1177.0s] The 14.
[1178.0s] The 14.
[1179.0s] 14 starts with a D.
[1181.0s] You're looking around all at
[1182.0s] the boxes.
[1183.0s] You don't find any traps
[1185.0s] beyond the one that Glim
[1187.0s] notified you of.
[1188.0s] Do you do anything with that
[1189.0s] trap or do you leave it as
[1191.0s] is?
[1192.0s] I think we probably just
[1193.0s] leave it as is now that we
[1194.0s] know that it's there.
[1195.0s] Can we tell what kind of trap
[1198.0s] it is?
[1199.0s] Is it attached to like
[1202.0s] there are going to be bolts
[1204.0s] that shoot out at us or is it
[1206.0s] fire?
[1207.0s] Does it look like it would be
[1208.0s] like unleash a canister of
[1209.0s] poison?
[1210.0s] Just in case we trip into it
[1212.0s] because who knows because
[1214.0s] it's us.
[1215.0s] It's true.
[1216.0s] I want to know what's
[1217.0s] coming our way.
[1218.0s] We could just trip.
[1219.0s] We could literally trip the
[1220.0s] trip wire.
[1221.0s] Yeah.
[1222.0s] You follow the trip wire and
[1223.0s] it leads back to a mechanism
[1224.0s] that is often to the wall
[1227.0s] behind where the ladder stops
[1229.0s] down and it looks like it has
[1232.0s] a mechanism that when
[1234.0s] released you find that
[1237.0s] blades come out of a plank
[1240.0s] and it looks like it would
[1241.0s] line up with your shins.
[1244.0s] Ouch.
[1246.0s] Talk about a bad day,
[1248.0s] right?
[1249.0s] I can't afford to be any
[1250.0s] shorter.
[1251.0s] I don't want to die.
[1253.0s] That's crotch height for me,
[1255.0s] you guys.
[1256.0s] That's no good.
[1262.0s] Okay.
[1263.0s] So we need.
[1264.0s] Okay.
[1265.0s] So we're looking for a
[1266.0s] circlet,
[1269.0s] six alchemical jugs with a
[1272.0s] Steinadegon on it and then
[1276.0s] some herbs.
[1278.0s] Yeah.
[1279.0s] Okay.
[1281.0s] So it's probably not any of
[1283.0s] the big ones with grain.
[1285.0s] At least let's not start
[1286.0s] there and probably not like
[1290.0s] in a cage,
[1291.0s] although I'm a bit nervous
[1292.0s] about what's in those.
[1294.0s] Probably in like some
[1296.0s] crates maybe.
[1298.0s] Yeah.
[1299.0s] Like it's going to be like
[1300.0s] boxes inside a box,
[1301.0s] right?
[1302.0s] Okay.
[1303.0s] Yeah.
[1304.0s] Are they labeled?
[1305.0s] Can I look at some crates
[1306.0s] and see if they're labeled?
[1308.0s] Because that would make it
[1309.0s] very easy.
[1310.0s] It would make it easy.
[1311.0s] For the love of God.
[1312.0s] And for them as well.
[1313.0s] Yeah.
[1314.0s] No, I didn't mean for us,
[1315.0s] like for sure for us,
[1316.0s] but I mean unloading them
[1318.0s] if they had to crack the top off.
[1320.0s] Send them to different places.
[1321.0s] Exactly.
[1322.0s] They are labeled.
[1323.0s] They are labeled with
[1324.0s] merchant names.
[1327.0s] That also makes sense.
[1329.0s] Oh, right.
[1330.0s] Right?
[1331.0s] Like where they're going.
[1333.0s] And as you're kind of
[1334.0s] looking and moving,
[1336.0s] cautiously moving about
[1338.0s] the cargo hold,
[1339.0s] you hear a noise
[1341.0s] coming from back
[1342.0s] and towards the cages.
[1343.0s] It's like a low,
[1344.0s] like brrrrrrr.
[1348.0s] Mm-mm.
[1350.0s] Nope.
[1351.0s] What do you,
[1352.0s] what do you think that is?
[1353.0s] I think it's a cage.
[1354.0s] Do you think that's someone
[1355.0s] who works here,
[1356.0s] or it's a wild animal
[1357.0s] in a cage?
[1358.0s] Yeah, I think it's a cage
[1359.0s] full of nope.
[1360.0s] If it's someone who works here,
[1361.0s] I think they're sleeping
[1362.0s] one off.
[1363.0s] Yeah.
[1365.0s] Um, okay.
[1366.0s] Okay.
[1367.0s] So these are only labeled
[1368.0s] with people's names,
[1370.0s] and I guess one person
[1372.0s] could probably have a
[1373.0s] random assortment of orders
[1376.0s] inside the crate.
[1378.0s] So maybe we should start
[1379.0s] just opening some of these up
[1381.0s] and seeing what's inside.
[1384.0s] I guess.
[1385.0s] I don't know what else to do.
[1387.0s] I think we just have to
[1388.0s] get our hands dirty
[1389.0s] with this one.
[1390.0s] I take out one of my daggers,
[1392.0s] and I carefully try to open up
[1395.0s] a crate nearest me.
[1398.0s] You're trying to open it
[1399.0s] so that it doesn't either break
[1401.0s] or make a noise.
[1402.0s] Yeah.
[1403.0s] Sleight of hands.
[1404.0s] Sleight of hand.
[1405.0s] Yep.
[1406.0s] Nineteen.
[1407.0s] Yeah, you nimbly pop the lid
[1409.0s] on this first crate,
[1411.0s] and inside of it,
[1412.0s] you see clay jugs from the top.
[1417.0s] Oh, I carefully lift one out
[1420.0s] to see if it has a sign
[1421.0s] or a symbol on it.
[1423.0s] Yeah, this scraping,
[1424.0s] sliding sound of clay against clay.
[1427.0s] I like that sound.
[1428.0s] Which makes that...
[1429.0s] So everyone knows.
[1430.0s] Which makes that noise
[1431.0s] that you heard at the back
[1432.0s] go again like that...
[1437.0s] Oh, Jesus.
[1438.0s] It's chicken.
[1440.0s] Is it chicken?
[1441.0s] What's happening?
[1442.0s] And you lift it,
[1443.0s] and you cross-check the list
[1447.0s] that Charmy gave you.
[1449.0s] And the sign of Dagen
[1451.0s] Again, looks like two rotund hills.
[1456.1s] Boobies.
[1457.0s] With interned peaks.
[1460.5s] Nipples.
[1462.7s] Floating on three waves.
[1466.6s] And that's what you see on the jugs.
[1468.3s] Oh, guys, take a look at my jugs.
[1472.7s] Those are some good jugs.
[1474.1s] I found the jugs.
[1475.2s] Are those what we're looking for?
[1476.4s] Yes.
[1478.2s] Is there six of them there?
[1479.9s] Yes, there are.
[1484.0s] How big are the jugs?
[1486.4s] Are they like small, like, oh my God.
[1489.0s] Microphone.
[1489.8s] We can be able to carry these out of here.
[1490.7s] Are they like maple syrup jugs?
[1492.5s] No, they're larger jugs.
[1494.7s] Son of a bitch.
[1495.8s] Like gallon jugs.
[1497.4s] Was I given a bag of holding from her by any chance?
[1501.1s] That cunt.
[1507.2s] Maybe we should just put all the stuff
[1508.8s] that we find over by the bottom of the stairs.
[1512.0s] I assume the jugs have something in them.
[1514.8s] Oh, I thought maybe they were in sloshing.
[1516.9s] I also thought they were empty.
[1517.7s] I thought like maybe this was a vessel used
[1520.2s] for magic shit.
[1522.2s] No, they're, they appear to be filled with liquid.
[1524.4s] Oh great, so they're heavy.
[1525.7s] Okay, all right.
[1527.2s] Maybe we should put the stuff we find
[1528.9s] over by where we want to go
[1530.4s] and then we'll collect it all.
[1531.6s] And then when we need to go, we can take it all.
[1535.2s] That's a great idea.
[1536.8s] I look around.
[1537.8s] Do I see a burlap sack or three anywhere?
[1540.8s] Odds you do, evens you don't.
[1543.4s] Yes.
[1544.2s] You do.
[1545.3s] Hey guys, look, there's some burlap bags over here.
[1548.6s] Okay, I'll put two in one, two in the other,
[1551.1s] two in the other.
[1552.1s] And you're right, let's put these to the side
[1554.3s] and just keep filling our bags.
[1556.0s] And that way one person doesn't have to carry
[1557.9s] six of these jugs, they're heavy.
[1560.7s] Okay, I'm going to attempt to open
[1562.6s] the case that's nearest me to see what's inside.
[1565.9s] Okay.
[1567.2s] Is it a case that's nearest you?
[1568.4s] I guess I'll do the sully method
[1570.0s] and also go with a dagger.
[1571.4s] Sure, go sleight of hand.
[1574.4s] Okay.
[1575.3s] Worked for me.
[1577.3s] That is a seven, but Russ, I'm gonna reroll that
[1582.8s] with one of my traits, which is tides of chaos.
[1587.4s] Once per long rest, you gain an advantage
[1589.7s] on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.
[1592.2s] Before you regain use of this feature,
[1594.2s] the DM can have you roll on the wild magic
[1596.4s] certain table after you cast a first level or higher spell.
[1600.4s] So basically, if you cast a spell at this point,
[1602.7s] I can just have you roll.
[1604.7s] For wild magic.
[1605.6s] First level or higher, I can cast cantrips.
[1609.2s] I mean, we did that anyways.
[1610.6s] I don't see how that.
[1611.6s] Yeah, but I mean, now it's like,
[1614.4s] it's implied that it will happen
[1616.6s] regardless of my next spell.
[1617.8s] It triggers, I see, got it.
[1619.2s] Well, I have to roll, so like.
[1621.0s] But you roll, no, you're rolling
[1622.3s] on the wild magic table, though.
[1625.0s] Yes.
[1625.9s] I think it happens.
[1626.7s] So I guess if you make a first level spell or higher.
[1630.2s] You have to take your wild magic wildest.
[1632.0s] You gotta take a wild magic surge.
[1634.0s] That's exciting.
[1634.8s] This reroll better be worth it, y'all.
[1637.0s] Is it?
[1637.8s] Oh, it's a nat 20.
[1638.7s] Oh, fuck yeah.
[1639.5s] You're sneaky as shit.
[1641.3s] Okay, yeah, you take a dagger
[1643.9s] and creak open one of these crates,
[1647.2s] hearing another noise from the back.
[1649.8s] Rr, rr, rr, rr, rr.
[1652.4s] I'm guessing frog chicken.
[1653.7s] The name on the crate is Flows.
[1658.1s] And it's just a bunch of tampons.
[1660.5s] No, and inside you see a bunch of burlap bags,
[1664.1s] like smaller bags, and inside of them
[1667.9s] you can kind of feel herbs or leaves
[1671.4s] or that sort of thing, and they are not labeled.
[1677.3s] Will I know what they are by smell?
[1679.8s] Make a nature chat.
[1681.8s] Or maybe like a visual.
[1684.1s] Yeah, gonna need a nature check
[1685.3s] for anybody trying to determine herbs.
[1687.5s] Make a smell-o-gram check.
[1691.0s] Okay, I just rolled another nat 20.
[1692.6s] What the hell? You know all the herbs.
[1695.7s] No, this is what he does, don't you remember?
[1699.3s] All the 20s are for him.
[1700.6s] Yep, okay, yeah.
[1702.7s] But like, yay, smelling things real well.
[1704.6s] Yeah, your nose is so.
[1706.9s] Describe to me why moot knows so much about these herbs
[1710.1s] and how you go about determining
[1711.9s] which ones are the Dream Flake,
[1714.6s] what else did I write down?
[1715.4s] Sitara, goji leaves, and sticks root.
[1717.4s] I also had Sun Drop written down here,
[1718.9s] which was in the original one,
[1720.0s] but still, that doesn't really matter at this point.
[1722.6s] Okay, question, Russ, are they all different
[1724.6s] or are they all the same?
[1728.0s] Of the ones you're going through,
[1729.3s] there are several different ones.
[1731.7s] Like it's a big crate filled with these bags.
[1734.5s] Little satchel, sachets.
[1736.1s] Yep.
[1737.3s] Okay.
[1738.8s] Well, back at home, old man Barclay
[1742.7s] would often have me and my siblings
[1744.6s] go out and gather him supplies
[1747.3s] for the gin and various other alcohols
[1749.5s] he would make with his homemade still.
[1752.2s] So moot's pretty familiar with a lot of these
[1755.0s] included in that sticks root, goji leaves, and Sun Drop.
[1760.7s] So he knows those three real well
[1762.5s] and can probably fake the other two if need be.
[1764.9s] Okay, yeah, you're going through this
[1766.3s] and you manage to pick out the goji leaves,
[1768.2s] the sticks root, and the Sun Drop you're confident on.
[1771.3s] You don't find, however, the dream flake in any of this.
[1774.7s] You're not confident on any of them,
[1777.2s] the ones you can't,
[1779.5s] and you're not even sure that it's even in there.
[1782.7s] Okay, so so far Sully has popped a crate stealthily
[1791.3s] and found the six alchemical jugs.
[1793.6s] It appears moot has found all but one
[1795.9s] of these specific herbs requested.
[1798.0s] Oh, and we close up our crates after.
[1800.1s] We're not just gonna leave this place like ransacked.
[1803.8s] We're not animals.
[1806.7s] Yeah, so when they. We're just thieves.
[1808.0s] They won't even notice until it like, you know,
[1810.3s] in a month the customer's gonna be like,
[1812.7s] you missed my dream flake in my shipment.
[1816.7s] You know. And they'll just be like, damn.
[1819.9s] So walking around their glim,
[1822.7s] you see several similar sized crates
[1825.9s] to the ones that have already been opened.
[1826.9s] They're larger.
[1828.4s] I don't know, three or four feet by three or four feet.
[1832.5s] The further back you go just before you get
[1834.8s] to those crates or to the cages,
[1837.6s] you see smaller crates kind of tucked back in
[1840.9s] and past those crates and some underneath them.
[1844.1s] Okay, well maybe I will open one of those smaller ones.
[1847.5s] I feel like the circlet's like it's jewelry
[1852.5s] maybe wouldn't be, you know, in a huge crate full of jewelry.
[1856.3s] It's a small, small volume.
[1858.7s] Well you need to take care with those, so.
[1860.9s] Exactly, and they're more precious, I would assume.
[1864.1s] So yeah, I assume it's just like random names
[1868.7s] on all the things.
[1869.7s] It doesn't say like Jim and Sons Jewelers.
[1873.6s] Oh, it might, wouldn't it?
[1875.7s] It might. It might.
[1876.9s] It does say business names.
[1878.3s] It does say merchant names.
[1879.7s] Yeah, sure, let's make a roll
[1881.7s] and see if there's something that stands out.
[1883.4s] Car luck, great idea.
[1884.6s] Okay, um.
[1886.0s] Maybe.
[1887.2s] Perception, investigation.
[1889.3s] Probably an investigation, or yeah, sure.
[1892.4s] Oh, I rolled a 20.
[1894.0s] No, you didn't.
[1895.3s] Yes.
[1896.6s] Okay, keep the train going.
[1898.9s] Oh, don't put that kind of pressure on me.
[1901.2s] Oh my God.
[1903.4s] It's our best rolls that we've ever had.
[1904.8s] So good, we're investigating and finding herbs
[1907.2s] like nobody's business.
[1908.5s] So a couple things happen here.
[1910.3s] So you're walking back and you're getting to those cages
[1912.5s] and as you look into the cages, you see,
[1916.5s] it's almost like a triangular creature
[1919.2s] with leathery, like leathery,
[1923.1s] what you could call wings that kind of come to a peak
[1926.8s] and there's this wrinkled skin blob
[1931.5s] and like two clawed legs
[1933.4s] that kind of come out from underneath it.
[1935.1s] You can't tell if it's.
[1936.7s] Is it a chicken frog?
[1938.4s] No.
[1939.8s] Are you sure?
[1940.7s] Sounds like a giant bat.
[1942.9s] It's not a chicken frog.
[1945.0s] Well, I'm a chicken lady.
[1946.9s] It, you can't tell if it's like awake or not there.
[1948.9s] You have heard like noises coming from the back,
[1951.8s] just like low burp, burp, burp, burp, burp.
[1954.1s] That kind of noise.
[1955.0s] Yep.
[1956.7s] And as you move by it,
[1958.5s] you do see a sign that says Sandy's jewelry.
[1964.3s] Okay, I'm going to open that box.
[1968.3s] Okay, it is beneath a few.
[1970.8s] You move them aside and open this box
[1973.8s] and there are several things inside of it,
[1976.4s] kind of neatly kind of wrapped around.
[1979.6s] There are some diamonds and pearls.
[1983.4s] There are rings.
[1984.3s] And then also you see kind of tucked down
[1986.7s] at the bottom is a circlet,
[1989.9s] is a circlet with interesting writing on it.
[1995.2s] You've read a lot of books, probably no Infernal,
[1998.2s] or not no Infernal,
[1999.1s] but have seen some sort of writing of it maybe.
[2003.5s] Like you'd be able to recognize the language of Mordor.
[2005.9s] Right?
[2006.7s] Right.
[2007.5s] Anyways, you see this interesting writing
[2011.5s] in green and red and it looks like the description
[2015.1s] at the very least that Charmy gave for this circlet.
[2018.9s] Okay, I am going to,
[2022.9s] I wanna take it,
[2023.9s] but I'm like nervous about just grabbing
[2026.1s] what must clearly be some kind of magical item.
[2031.5s] I guess the sacks are all over there.
[2033.7s] I'm gonna just like pull my sleeve down over my hand
[2037.9s] to like pick it up with that
[2041.3s] rather than just grabbing it with my bare hand.
[2044.5s] Make a sleight of hand check to try and pull it out
[2046.9s] without making everything else kind of tumble out
[2049.6s] with your sleeve wrapped around your large hand.
[2052.7s] Not a great skill of mine.
[2055.5s] So that's a 10.
[2058.3s] Some of the things fall to the floor.
[2061.3s] Some of the other rings and necklaces
[2063.2s] as you pull out this circlet,
[2064.6s] which was tucked kind of down at the bottom.
[2067.2s] And the animal in the cage startles.
[2072.7s] And it's like,
[2074.5s] and it starts to like flap these wings
[2078.3s] and you see it kind of lifts up on its legs
[2082.4s] and you see these gnarled sharp teeth visible
[2087.0s] from beneath like the wrinkled folds of this skin.
[2091.2s] And it starts to like throw itself against the cage.
[2095.5s] Okay, I reach into my pocket and pull out a dried apple
[2098.9s] that I kept from our Apple Adventures
[2102.8s] just the day before and I roll it over to the cage.
[2107.3s] The apple rolls up and inside
[2109.7s] and this creature that's like beating itself
[2111.8s] against the sides or banging itself against the sides
[2114.7s] sees it, stops and it's kind of slowly rolls down
[2119.4s] in front of it and it kind of pokes at it
[2123.2s] a couple of times and then its mouth opens wide
[2127.6s] and it chomps down on the apple,
[2129.8s] shredding it into pieces.
[2132.9s] And then kind of settles back down.
[2137.0s] Shh.
[2139.1s] Okay, I'm going to, I guess like put the circlet
[2144.4s] in my pocket and then like quickly,
[2147.3s] not with my hands covered,
[2148.9s] like just pick up the other things,
[2150.8s] close the lid and put it and then like go back,
[2155.1s] back away, put the circlet with the other things
[2157.8s] we've collected and tell my friends that I found it
[2160.8s] so they don't continue looking for it.
[2163.3s] As you're backing away and you get back
[2165.0s] with your group there, you hear footsteps
[2168.0s] from above walking back towards your direction,
[2172.2s] like the direction of the ladders
[2173.4s] down to the cargo hold.
[2174.7s] Mm-hmm.
[2175.6s] Hey, we're in the middle and it's very nice
[2188.3s] to have you here.
[2189.2s] That's really what I want to stop and say.
[2192.2s] Welcome to the Creamy Center of our Ooey Gooey podcast.
[2198.5s] Just going to let that linger.
[2199.4s] Yep.
[2200.2s] It was quite visceral.
[2201.0s] It's ooey and gooey.
[2201.9s] Just going to feel it, yeah.
[2202.7s] Like an Oreo.
[2205.1s] I mean.
[2205.9s] Like the middle of a s'more?
[2206.7s] An Oreo is an ooey and, okay.
[2207.6s] Okay, yeah.
[2208.4s] I was thinking like,
[2209.2s] that's still crispy on the outside.
[2210.1s] Cadbury cream egg.
[2210.9s] But like the marshmallow part.
[2211.8s] Yeah, but I'm talking about the inside.
[2212.6s] And the chocolate, that's all ooey gooey.
[2213.8s] We're like the marshmallow and chocolate
[2215.7s] in the inside of a s'more.
[2217.6s] More like one of those, like the marshmallow cookies
[2221.4s] with the chocolate over them.
[2222.7s] The Viva.
[2223.5s] Oh, the Viva puffs.
[2224.4s] Like the Viva puffs.
[2225.2s] Yeah, mm-hmm.
[2226.0s] I bet that's, is that a Canadian thing?
[2227.5s] Doesn't most people don't know what we're talking about?
[2230.1s] Yeah, there's jam in the middle of those
[2231.6s] or sometimes caramel.
[2232.8s] Sometimes chocolate.
[2233.8s] Life hack, if you leave them in the fridge,
[2235.6s] they're 10 times better.
[2237.1s] Do they still exist?
[2238.5s] They do. Yeah, they do.
[2239.3s] I only remember them from when I was a child.
[2241.2s] Yes, I think I remember eating one as an adult
[2245.0s] in my 20s and being like,
[2246.4s] why was I so obsessed with these?
[2247.7s] We've purchased them this year.
[2249.4s] What?
[2250.7s] I have, okay, listen up here, folks.
[2252.7s] This is nothing to do with the podcast,
[2254.2s] but I just wanna say so that many people get to hear it.
[2257.3s] We have some of the best snacks ever in our house.
[2260.9s] I only get to hear about them
[2262.4s] approximately 20% of the time.
[2266.7s] There's been times that things have been bought
[2269.8s] and eaten or I've bought awesome snacks
[2273.0s] and been like, yeah,
[2274.6s] when I get a craving for this a week from now,
[2277.2s] I'm gonna be so excited to have this
[2278.9s] because I don't want it at the time.
[2280.3s] No, you can't wait that long, Amy.
[2281.4s] Apparently not.
[2282.3s] Generally, it's gone within two to three days.
[2285.8s] I go for it.
[2286.6s] A week later, there's nothing there.
[2289.2s] Well, your first problem is you didn't eat it
[2291.0s] immediately so that it was then replaced
[2293.9s] at the next grocery shop.
[2295.3s] I do not feel like I'm the kind of person
[2298.2s] who now buys food and then immediately
[2301.5s] has to scarf it down.
[2303.5s] I have chocolate in the freezer
[2304.7s] that's been there for months.
[2306.7s] That's because you've said, don't touch my chocolate.
[2309.9s] Amy's gonna be the person you see in the grocery store
[2311.9s] that's eating their bag of chips while they're shopping
[2315.2s] and then it's like, oh yeah, this too.
[2316.5s] Can't do that now, face masks, man.
[2318.4s] I'm sneaking chips down into my mask.
[2321.1s] It's a salty mess.
[2322.2s] It's just bad.
[2323.8s] Anyways.
[2325.2s] Anyways, the middle.
[2326.5s] The middle.
[2327.6s] Yeah, we're here.
[2328.6s] Really what we wanted to talk to you about
[2330.2s] was coming and joining us over on Patreon

[2362.0s] And we gather around with our cell phones.
[2366.3s] And we have some fun times and laughs.

[2375.8s] You guys are much funnier than us, by the way.
[2377.8s] Yes.
[2378.6s] This is where we just, mine for content is what we do.
[2382.2s] I mean, no, it's for hanging out sole purpose
[2384.7s] is not a business meeting at all.
[2386.5s] Not at all.
[2387.6s] Anyways, we have that goal set up
[2389.5s] at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[2390.9s] We'd love you to come join us.

[2403.8s] being part of the sweet Patreon Dumbgeons crowd.
[2408.1s] And now I think that's all.
[2411.4s] Time to get you back to that graham cracker.
[2413.5s] That's right.
[2414.4s] Have a great week.
[2415.2s] We'll talk to you soon.
[2416.0s] So if anybody's keeping track, we've
[2421.0s] found the circlet, the six alchemical jugs,
[2423.3s] and all but one of the designated herbs.
[2426.2s] How about that dang dream flake?
[2427.9s] Damn dream flake.
[2429.0s] We found this satara.
[2431.5s] Yep.
[2432.0s] Nice.
[2434.5s] OK.
[2435.6s] Do you guys know what dream flake looks like?
[2439.6s] We got to find it.
[2440.5s] Do you hear those footsteps?
[2441.6s] And also, there's a really scary creature back there.
[2446.1s] I don't really know what dream flake looks like.
[2448.3s] I don't know what dream flake is either.
[2451.0s] I guess something flaky, like maybe like coconut?
[2454.7s] Like dried coconut?
[2455.9s] Maybe.
[2460.0s] OK, well.
[2461.2s] If there's coconut, should we just grab that and try
[2463.2s] to pass it off as dream flake?
[2464.6s] Well, I mean, it's her own damn fault
[2466.4s] she didn't give a description with any of these things.
[2469.8s] Should not see how clearly incompetent we are.
[2474.8s] I stop and listen to the boots.
[2476.6s] Do they pass over top of us and keep going?
[2478.9s] Or did they stop?
[2480.0s] You've heard them walking back down the hall.
[2482.2s] They haven't come directly to the ladder,
[2484.3s] but they've kind of turned off
[2487.2s] and are adjacent to where the ladder is,
[2490.8s] that you hear them stop or kind of scuffle around.
[2494.2s] We can't be quiet.
[2495.1s] And whatever that was making noise in the back,
[2497.5s] we have to not upset it anymore.
[2500.8s] I gave it an apple and it just destroyed it.
[2503.3s] Oh, God.
[2505.6s] I guess we need to find this dream flake, though.
[2507.7s] OK, I'm going to try this box over here.
[2515.0s] If everybody's just trying boxes,
[2517.1s] everybody roll an investigation,
[2520.1s] one more investigation check.
[2523.0s] I rolled a 20 again.
[2526.8s] I rolled a 19.
[2528.0s] We're on fire tonight.
[2531.0s] This never happens in a battle.
[2532.5s] We're just opening boxes in a cargo hold.
[2535.0s] 20, 20, 20, 20.
[2537.3s] You said investigation, Russ?
[2540.5s] All right, 17 for me.
[2542.5s] OK, fuck.
[2545.2s] OK, Glenn, you remember from looking at the animal
[2552.9s] or the creature that you fed the apple to near its cage
[2559.0s] in a smaller crate.
[2561.4s] There was a crate labeled hallucinogens.
[2565.9s] Guys, I just had a thought.
[2568.0s] You know that scary creature?
[2569.9s] Yeah.
[2570.8s] Well, back by the scary creature,
[2572.9s] there was a box that said hallucinogens.
[2575.6s] And dream flake seems like, I mean, dreams are kind of,
[2579.3s] you know, like sleeping hallucinations.
[2581.8s] I don't know.
[2582.5s] Maybe this seems crazy.
[2583.7s] But I just don't know where else to look.
[2585.4s] No, Glenn, I think that's a great connection.
[2587.2s] I think you're onto something.
[2588.3s] There's a lot of drugs that can make
[2589.9s] you see a lot of weird shit, like in a dream.
[2593.1s] Was it in a big box or a small box?
[2596.0s] It's kind of all smaller boxes back there.
[2598.4s] Here's the thing.
[2599.2s] When I was back near that creature,
[2602.2s] kind of like got restless.
[2604.4s] Right.
[2605.2s] Gave it the apple, shredded the apple,
[2608.1s] worked for like a minute, and then I left.
[2610.6s] So what do you guys got?
[2612.0s] Well, like, I've got this, like,
[2615.1s] I got a little bit of dried fruit, sure.
[2617.6s] Got some dates here.
[2619.8s] But I was thinking.
[2620.8s] I kept a jalapeno popper from when we were at Lucy's.
[2623.6s] I don't know if that's.
[2625.6s] There's cream cheese in that, man.
[2628.0s] Is that just in your pocket?
[2631.0s] Yeah.
[2631.4s] I mean, you should definitely give that to me.
[2633.4s] Because I don't think you should eat that.
[2635.2s] But maybe we can give it to the creature.
[2637.0s] Maybe.
[2637.5s] Well, I think maybe if we sneak over there
[2640.4s] and if it's a smaller crate, we can just gently pick up
[2644.0s] the crate, move it back here before we open it in order
[2648.2s] to do less noise.
[2650.6s] Yes.
[2651.1s] OK.
[2651.8s] Yes, that's a great idea.
[2653.0s] Don't eat that.
[2655.3s] Maybe give me that.
[2656.6s] I'll throw that to it.
[2658.3s] I'll pick up the crate and I'll bring it back.
[2660.4s] Only throw it to it, though, if it gets upset.
[2662.6s] Because if you're sneaky, maybe it'll be OK.
[2664.5s] I'm not just going to throw.
[2665.8s] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2666.8s] I'm going to just sneak.
[2668.7s] All right.
[2669.2s] I hand the napkin containing the jalapeno popper.
[2673.3s] Thought it was just loose in your pocket.
[2676.6s] I also thought it was just loose in his pocket.
[2679.3s] No, no, no.
[2680.3s] In a napkin.
[2680.8s] I'm not an animal.
[2681.6s] It's a jalapeno popper wrapped in a napkin in my pocket.
[2684.8s] That's right.
[2685.4s] Definitely has somehow had a bit of shape.
[2689.2s] Oh, my tots.
[2690.2s] My tots.
[2692.2s] Get your own tots.
[2693.9s] OK.
[2695.2s] OK, so sorry.
[2697.0s] Give me the quick Coles Notes version.
[2699.4s] So I'm going to sneak over there.
[2701.6s] If it wakes up, I'm going to toss it a jalapeno popper.
[2705.2s] That I stole from Lucy's.
[2706.3s] You didn't steal it.
[2707.5s] It was your leftovers, I assume.
[2709.8s] Maybe we didn't order those who took it off a different table.
[2712.6s] No, he definitely took it off an empty plate.
[2715.6s] Yeah, on our way out, I just scooped it off a table.
[2717.8s] This is for later.
[2719.8s] And then I'm going to pick up the box that says hallucinogens
[2722.7s] and bring it back further away from the creature
[2725.5s] rather than trying to open it.
[2727.3s] Right beside the scary creature.
[2728.7s] Perfect.
[2729.2s] OK, to walk over there, give me,
[2731.6s] and to try and not wake it up, give me a stealth roll.
[2734.0s] OK.
[2735.0s] OK.
[2737.6s] It was really good?
[2738.4s] That's the face you make when it's really good?
[2740.6s] It was super good.
[2741.4s] That was the face I make when it's amazing.
[2743.2s] Should I have gone because it was a stealthy thing?
[2745.9s] But then we have to pick up the box.
[2747.4s] I don't know how big the box is.
[2749.6s] That's an eight.
[2751.7s] As you walk over, you kind of trip a little bit
[2754.9s] on an upraised plank and stumble.
[2758.8s] And the creature looks back up at you
[2762.4s] and you see its teeth, and its tongue is long and slithery,
[2767.6s] and it sticks out towards you, and it starts
[2771.8s] to shake its leathery wings.
[2774.4s] Put the popper on it.
[2775.8s] Put the popper on the tongue.
[2778.1s] And I underhand toss the jalapeno popper towards it.
[2783.4s] It goes in and it snatches it out of the air,
[2786.4s] just shredding it.
[2787.4s] There's cream cheese everywhere.
[2791.8s] The deckhands are going to have questions later.
[2793.7s] This lactose intolerant monster is going to have a bad time.
[2798.4s] So when it grabs it, then I quickly love it
[2803.7s] and then go to grab the box.
[2806.4s] So it's beside the cage, and it's about a this size box.
[2813.0s] Oh, it's itty.
[2814.0s] About a foot for those not playing the home game.
[2818.3s] We don't put these videos out anymore.
[2820.4s] It's this size.
[2821.6s] It's about a foot by a foot.
[2823.3s] You grab it, slide it out of its place, and then zip back.
[2827.4s] And the animal or the creature has kind of calmed down.
[2833.5s] OK, so you get the box back.
[2834.8s] You crack the box open.
[2837.3s] And inside, there are several wrapped in like almost
[2845.0s] like tissue paper.
[2845.8s] I don't know about tissue paper.
[2847.9s] We've established arts.
[2849.3s] It's wrapped in like tissue paper.
[2852.4s] And each one has a seal on it.
[2856.0s] With little zeds?
[2857.2s] With little, with different symbols.
[2860.7s] And one of the symbols is like a cloud
[2866.9s] with like rain and lightning.
[2871.0s] One of them is snow, like a snowflake.
[2876.1s] And one of them is, there's only three
[2878.6s] that you're going to find, and one of them is bubbles.
[2883.9s] I say we take them all, and she can sort it out after.
[2890.0s] I think you're right.
[2890.9s] They're just small.
[2891.9s] And I mean, Flake seems real.
[2894.4s] But I mean, who knows?
[2896.2s] I don't know magic stuff.
[2897.4s] She should have given us better instructions.
[2899.2s] So let's just take one of each and then get out of here.
[2903.1s] Yeah, I agree.
[2905.0s] Done.
[2906.6s] You take it and put everything into the burlap sacks.
[2910.1s] And then you hear from beyond the side of the ship.
[2922.1s] Is that another one of those animals in the cages?
[2924.7s] It sounds like it's dying.
[2926.6s] No, I think it's Shu.
[2927.9s] That must be Shu.
[2930.2s] Oh.
[2930.8s] I think there might be coming back to the boat.
[2932.8s] Oh, that's not good.
[2934.1s] OK.
[2936.0s] Well, let's get out of here.
[2938.9s] And I assume in this, we're like, I
[2941.4s] was going to say below ground, but we're not below ground.
[2944.2s] But there's no portals or anything.
[2946.3s] We are in the cargo hold.
[2947.9s] There is no cage.
[2949.4s] Well, there's the ladder.
[2951.2s] With all your investigation checks,
[2952.7s] you would have noticed that there
[2954.6s] is a mechanism that looks like it drops one of the starboard
[2959.4s] side of the ship, which sounds
[2961.6s] like it was described as the offloading mechanism
[2964.7s] that Shu was describing, the garage.
[2968.9s] But yes, the only normal way out
[2973.1s] is the ladder that you came down.
[2976.7s] OK, guys, real quick, do we open that one
[2982.2s] and jump in the water?
[2984.1s] Or we go back up the ladder and face the people?
[2987.6s] Um.
[2990.3s] I think depending on the amount of people,
[2992.4s] that could be very problematic for us.
[2997.3s] Which one?
[2998.1s] Facing the people up top, yeah.
[2999.8s] Well, yeah, both seem very problematic.
[3003.2s] Well, I mean, they're definitely
[3005.0s] going to notice the side of the ship opening up.
[3009.7s] True.
[3010.2s] Um.
[3014.0s] I guess I was just thinking we opened it up and just jumped
[3017.3s] out and just got away instead of having to fight them.
[3021.8s] Fair enough.
[3022.6s] But I'm not going to lie to you, these burlap sacks,
[3025.3s] they're now waterproof.
[3027.4s] And some of this stuff's just wrapped in tissue paper.
[3037.1s] I mean, they were sealed with wax.
[3038.7s] Everything should be like.
[3040.2s] I guess it's on a boat.
[3041.5s] You would kind of assume that things would be waterproof.
[3045.0s] Barring some sort of water-related disaster, yeah.
[3048.3s] Because it's like, I mean, I don't know, maybe not.
[3051.5s] Were they, yeah, they were, OK.
[3053.0s] You know what, the burlap sacks are lined with plastic.
[3056.2s] Hey.
[3057.0s] Perfect.
[3057.9s] Environmentally conscious, too.
[3059.8s] Right.
[3060.3s] Yeah.
[3062.4s] OK, well, did I say we make a swim for it?
[3066.5s] You guys can swim?
[3069.5s] Yeah, I can swim.
[3071.4s] I guess I was thinking that way, too, that Shu wouldn't.
[3075.2s] I mean, they wouldn't know.
[3076.4s] He wouldn't have to lie for us.
[3078.0s] Because they would never find us.
[3079.6s] He could just.
[3080.6s] You hear multiple loud footsteps now
[3083.3s] coming aboard the main deck above you.
[3086.4s] Well, I say we go now.
[3088.1s] Yeah, it sounds like that's our cue.
[3090.3s] OK.
[3092.0s] And I'm assuming, and I guess I should have asked this,
[3094.7s] but the mechanism looks like pretty obvious to open
[3097.8s] the door.
[3098.3s] I mean, you've been rolling like 20 after 20 for investigation.
[3101.0s] Yeah, you're going to.
[3102.1s] Is there a way that we can not open the entire door
[3104.9s] so it doesn't slam down, but instead creaks
[3107.9s] enough for us to hop?
[3109.3s] And maybe we can all shimmy out?
[3111.1s] Yeah.
[3113.1s] Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'd say it's like a crank or a rotor
[3118.3s] rather than a lever.
[3119.2s] For like a drawbridge sort of thing.
[3120.8s] Yeah.
[3121.3s] OK.
[3122.0s] Yep, so yeah.
[3123.3s] So maybe we crank it slowly.
[3125.3s] Yeah, we just.
[3126.5s] OK.
[3127.0s] Sneakily, just enough for us to get out.
[3132.0s] Wiggle out the bottom.
[3132.9s] OK.
[3133.7s] And I mean, I guess I'm saying jump into the water.
[3135.9s] If we look out there and there's no one on the dock
[3138.1s] and we can just get onto the dock, let's do that.
[3141.0s] And I'm assuming they'll be like people.
[3142.9s] Yeah, fair enough.
[3144.4s] OK, yeah, you slowly begin to rattle this side door down
[3149.4s] and it's like the chicken looking thing
[3153.3s] starts to make some noise as you're doing this.
[3155.9s] I throw in a date.
[3157.8s] It snatches it up like date everywhere.
[3161.1s] And footsteps are moving now and you
[3163.6s] hear them coming down lower onto the deck above you
[3167.9s] and spreading out almost like they're going back
[3171.0s] to their sleeping quarters.
[3174.2s] And then you hear as it gets to a point
[3177.2s] where you can see out and you can see from this location
[3181.2s] you'd be able to see Shu kind of nervously standing down
[3184.6s] the bottom of the deck as some people are kind of walking
[3186.7s] by him back up to the deck itself.
[3190.4s] You see there's a bit of a gap where
[3192.4s] you could drop into the water or if it
[3194.5s] was open a little bit more, you could get down to the dock.
[3198.3s] Are the people past us, like the people
[3200.5s] from the ship returning, like would they
[3203.4s] or are they still kind of streaming in front of us?
[3206.2s] There's not as many of them coming up.
[3208.2s] Like there's like one or two stragglers
[3210.4s] kind of coming in and out.
[3211.9s] Right.
[3212.6s] Few people who got kicked out of the inn
[3214.1s] were told they weren't allowed to have a room there.
[3215.8s] They were too drunk.
[3216.6s] Perhaps.
[3218.1s] What do you think, guys?
[3219.1s] Well, I say we go now or never.
[3222.7s] OK.
[3223.7s] Yeah, let's do it.
[3225.4s] OK, you start to rotate the handles down
[3227.9s] and the door opens further.
[3230.4s] Enough to where whoever's going first.
[3233.7s] OK, I'll go first.
[3235.0s] Sully, you can definitely make it through easily.
[3238.1s] Glim, it would be a little bit of a squeeze,
[3240.9s] but you'd be able to kind of jump out and swing down.
[3244.7s] Sully, you are able to sneak out.
[3249.6s] Roll a stealth check as you jump down.
[3255.7s] 13.
[3256.7s] Shu hasn't noticed you yet.
[3259.1s] But you kind of time where you see someone walking up
[3261.8s] and it looks clear, you manage to jump down to the dock.
[3265.2s] There is a bit of a less lit area further back on the dock
[3270.2s] that if you wanted to, you could scoot over to.
[3272.7s] I'm going to scoot over there and blend in with the shadows.
[3276.0s] All right.
[3277.0s] Moot, it's your turn.
[3278.6s] Going to need a stealth roll.
[3280.2s] And as you are going, you're hearing more footsteps
[3283.8s] above near where the ladder down to the cargo hold is.
[3287.1s] OK.
[3288.6s] Oop.
[3292.0s] Well, it fell down, but it was still good.
[3293.7s] So I'm taking it.
[3294.5s] 17.
[3296.3s] Yeah, you see Sully jump and you time your exit
[3299.6s] the same way that he did.
[3301.2s] You jump down to the dock and follow him over
[3303.3s] to this less lit area.
[3304.6s] Glim, you hear from above a disgruntled crew member.
[3314.0s] It's muffled, but you hear, yeah,
[3317.4s] I just need to get something.
[3319.0s] And then I'll go back and then we'll settle up, OK?
[3324.0s] So as you are ready, make a stealth roll, please.
[3330.6s] 14.
[3334.0s] You squeeze through.
[3335.6s] And by this point, Shue has noticed you three sneaking off.
[3342.6s] And he's looking at you and wide eyed, almost like hurry up.
[3347.8s] As you jump, you hear the cargo door open
[3351.7s] from the ladder above and footsteps
[3354.1s] coming down the ladder.
[3355.9s] And then the chicken starts to make a lot of noise.
[3360.2s] And as you kind of tuck and roll onto the dock
[3364.1s] and move over, you hear, ey, ey, oh, left the door open.

[3471.1s] Oh, it's horrendous. Oh, okay. Okay. It's more bird-like than I was picturing, so it's...
[3478.2s] Oh, it's like they took the bottom half of a chicken, took off the head and replaced it with
[3483.9s] like the face of an alien, like from Alien, and took all the feathers off of it. Yeah.
[3490.5s] It's like a naked alien chicken. Yeah. It's awful.
