1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,879
Previously, on Dumptions and Dragons.

2
00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:10,240
Vafreet, hey, friend, I brought some people here, they're looking for a person, maybe

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,040
you might have heard, I thought you mentioned the name.

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:19,240
I think we've decided that we'd like the information about Thelonious and we're

5
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:23,320
willing to carry your valuable package for you.

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,320
Ah, Thelonious, okay, Thelonious, I heard it a few times through some different

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,560
market channels of folks looking for bits and bobs.

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,520
Last I heard, the hand of Yartar was doing business with him.

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:43,120
So he's going to take the packages and put them in his bag and then he's going

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,159
to draw his greatsword.

11
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,879
So what's the plan here?

12
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:52,120
You're going to swing your sword around, knock us out, maybe take us out, you

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,519
know, there's somebody else in line.

14
00:00:53,519 --> 00:00:57,840
But you're standing right in front of me and I don't like you very much.

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,080
I'm going to swing it up.

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,960
Your boss is right.

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,480
When this is all over, someone will have to take over.

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,719
If it's someone who does it the way we like it, I'd very carefully consider

19
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:10,560
your next action.

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,560
It could be you.

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,000
So taking the information you got from Vafreet, you make your way down

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,520
hopping caravans until you reach a guide to take you up the River Desserin.

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,840
You dock in the city's small port and make your way through the bustling

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,520
city until you find the tavern, wink and a kiss.

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,000
We're looking for someone named Thelonious, Prim's something.

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,640
Prim's friend? Prim's gown?

27
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,040
Her smile disappears.

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,680
You mean Thelonious Prim's Bay?

29
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,520
Oh, that was way off.

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:12,439
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

31
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:14,000
I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.

32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
He-Him.

33
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,920
Also with me today is Tom Laird.

34
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:17,920
He-Him.

35
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,319
I am playing Perseus.

36
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:24,759
He is a lightfoot halfling warlock who also goes by He-Him.

37
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:26,679
And Carla Maxted.

38
00:02:26,679 --> 00:02:27,679
She-her.

39
00:02:27,679 --> 00:02:33,399
I am playing Lexington, a human fighter slash pAlydin, He-Him.

40
00:02:33,399 --> 00:02:37,560
And joining us again this week from The Crit Show, our good buddy Rev.

41
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:45,319
Hey, I am He-Him and I am here as Margaret Broadcloak, the Betty White monster hunter,

42
00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:46,319
she-her.

43
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:52,439
I love Margaret because she just brings reason to every situation.

44
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,639
Episode, Lex starts swinging swords.

45
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,719
You're like, you could run this organization, young man.

46
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:02,439
Yeah, it's good because Lex is, I mean, Lex and Perseus, I don't want to speak

47
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:03,439
for Tom.

48
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:04,439
We're very new to the world.

49
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:05,439
Sure.

50
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:12,439
So I don't think we have a lot of good reasoning skills or, yeah, we need an adult.

51
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:17,000
Yeah, Margaret's like that guiding hand for us and it's very needed.

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Yeah.

53
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
It is just, Arvid has been in the world, but in his own world also, so.

54
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Yeah.

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Yeah, Arvid means well.

56
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Yeah.

57
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
He's got a heart of gold, but terrifying spells.

58
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Yeah, that one was creepy.

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Yeah.

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Like maybe, yeah, the downtime after this one, after this episode, I'll tell you

61
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,199
some of the other spells because there's a couple other good ones that maybe we'll

62
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:45,560
see, maybe we won't.

63
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,639
So we'll get into that.

64
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,640
That's the tease.

65
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,400
We have downtime episodes.

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,400
When you join us at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast, where we talk about the

67
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,560
episode, break it down, come up with what we did wrong and then do a better next

68
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,560
time.

69
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Hilarious.

70
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,480
Oh, that's never happened.

71
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,480
That's never happened.

72
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,040
We mostly just talk about what goofs we made and then go on from there.

73
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,580
So you can join us Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast and you also get an episode

74
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:14,480
dedicated to you when you are a patron.

75
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,160
Today's patron, Wilfred Gaube.

76
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,160
Thanks Wilfred.

77
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,400
Thank you, Wilfred.

78
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,400
Thanks Wilfred.

79
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,400
We appreciate you.

80
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,400
We do appreciate you.

81
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,400
We think you're great.

82
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Join us today at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast and now fuck it, let's play.

83
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:40,600
You're seated in Uzumaki's office, hickory and orange, filling your senses as she

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,280
reveals to you Thelonious Prim's full name, Thelonious Primsbane.

85
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:54,480
What could you four want with Thelonious Primsbane?

86
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,000
I kind of just look over at Lex like.

87
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:10,080
I think he knows something about me and I don't know enough about myself.

88
00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:14,759
So I'm searching for him.

89
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:20,079
She looks at you.

90
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:25,560
Are there any scars visible?

91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,560
On me?

92
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,560
On you?

93
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,560
Yeah, I think so.

94
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,639
I mean, I am wearing like adventurous clothes.

95
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:35,279
I'm pretty covered, you know, neck to wrists to ankles.

96
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:40,760
But I think I am very gray and mottled looking still.

97
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,080
And probably you can see some scarring like coming up alongside my jaw.

98
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,080
Right.

99
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,280
Because I'm not wearing a full turtleneck or scarf or anything.

100
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:53,080
So you can see some some scarring on my neck.

101
00:05:53,080 --> 00:06:00,040
She looks you over and says, well, that makes sense.

102
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:06,840
I guess Primsbane is a is a bad man.

103
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:10,920
You know, you know that much.

104
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:16,640
Like I hope it's not some family reunion that you're looking for here.

105
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,840
No, I wouldn't.

106
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:21,360
I wouldn't say that.

107
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:27,040
I think he has destroyed my chances for any kind of family reunion.

108
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,040
Yeah.

109
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,240
He's done that for a few people.

110
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,920
So you do know him?

111
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240
I've done business with him for quite a while.

112
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:44,720
And that's the only reason that I believe I'm still allowed to be doing business is

113
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,000
that I have accommodated him in his requests.

114
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,800
Does he operate in this city then?

115
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,320
No.

116
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,879
This is your city, isn't it?

117
00:06:57,879 --> 00:06:59,480
Is this your organization?

118
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,480
Do you?

119
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,079
Is my organization?

120
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:05,480
Yes.

121
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:12,639
We don't yet have the power to control large swaths of the city.

122
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:19,079
While she's been talking, she reaches into just slowly and cautiously reaches into

123
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:27,800
her desk and pulls out a small purse and slides it across the desk to you.

124
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:36,319
It kind of ushers to it and marks off in her book again, Thelonious comes and goes.

125
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:44,800
And when he goes, leaves destruction in his wake.

126
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,120
The most recent was an attack on Mirabar.

127
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,759
I think all of you would have at least heard of Mirabar.

128
00:07:53,759 --> 00:08:00,319
Margaret and Arvid for sure would know Mirabar as like the main dwarven like stronghold.

129
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:08,839
He raised an undead army that rivaled the acts of Mirabar.

130
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:17,639
The acts of Mirabar being the main force of the dwarven army, one of the most revered

131
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:20,159
in dwarven culture.

132
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:30,240
It came out of nowhere and he controlled everyone within city limits.

133
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,800
We still don't know how he did it.

134
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:41,120
He was able to turn living people undead almost with like a snap of his fingers.

135
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:51,000
He was driven off by the decimators of dragons before they got rid of Tiamat.

136
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,879
He's popped up a few times with me searching for parts.

137
00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:05,159
And she kind of ushers towards the ice elemental on your desk and says, that's

138
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:06,919
not for him.

139
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:11,639
But similar parts are what he comes and looks for.

140
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:21,519
He's been quiet for the last few months, which is concerning for a man like him.

141
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:25,519
You want to find him, yes?

142
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:28,439
Yes, I want to find him.

143
00:09:28,439 --> 00:09:31,159
I want to stop him.

144
00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:33,120
Are you bringing an army?

145
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:41,720
When I look side to side at my friends, well, just this small group.

146
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,600
Okay, what do you want from me?

147
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:52,159
Well, I want to know where he is.

148
00:09:52,159 --> 00:10:00,480
And I suppose I want to know if there are any allies to be found since he's raising

149
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:05,440
undead armies to fight the acts of Mirabar.

150
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:11,000
Perhaps the four of us are not enough.

151
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,639
Um, yeah.

152
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:28,560
Allies, you know, the four of you might just be the craziest idea, but he might

153
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,160
not see it coming.

154
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,000
You see her go into like deep thought.

155
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:40,120
He says, I, there are a couple of places he could be.

156
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:49,400
One, there is an entrance to the Underdark in the city of Neverwinter.

157
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:57,720
There's a, well, if you go there, you will have to go into the Underdark.

158
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:08,840
You'll have to trudge through and hopefully keep your sanity and selves as you try to

159
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,840
find him.

160
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,160
Well, that one, that one sounds pretty scary.

161
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,279
Well, the other option isn't a lot better.

162
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,720
The other one is closer.

163
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:27,040
It's further up the river that you may have seen or come in on.

164
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:38,639
It leads up into the Lost Peaks, where you'll be met with a guardian of the gates that

165
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:45,919
hold back anybody that Thelonious Primsbane does not want entering.

166
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:51,599
The guardian is a black dragon named Mordegim.

167
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:58,360
So we've got maybe going crazy in this Underdark or a black dragon.

168
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,720
These seem like bad options.

169
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,920
Thelonious is not a good option.

170
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:12,420
You had said that there's a chance that he wouldn't be expecting it from a group

171
00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:15,399
like us.

172
00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:19,480
Do you have any sense of this guardian?

173
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,320
Is it able to let him know when people try to enter?

174
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,279
Does that make the Underdark the better option?

175
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:39,039
The dragon controls a region of approximately six miles around its lair.

176
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:46,620
Anything that happens within that lair, the dragon knows about.

177
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:53,740
What its direct connection to Thelonious is, I can't tell you, but not...

178
00:12:53,740 --> 00:12:57,740
I can tell you that nobody has made it past the dragon.

179
00:12:57,740 --> 00:13:07,139
If you are to go to the Underdark, there are all manners of creatures and drow and

180
00:13:07,139 --> 00:13:12,500
whatever Thelonious has been lying in wait with.

181
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:18,779
I know the history of the Hand.

182
00:13:18,779 --> 00:13:28,779
I realize that what we're talking about is a costly gamble, but I imagine that

183
00:13:28,779 --> 00:13:37,860
without Thelonious here, you might feel a large weight off of your shoulders.

184
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:41,179
Is there anyone in your guild that has had dealings with the Underdark that might

185
00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:45,740
be able to escort us?

186
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:51,260
The Underdark seems like a fantastic place to find unexpected riches.

187
00:13:51,260 --> 00:14:02,140
I can't imagine you haven't heard of a few thieves coming in and out of there.

188
00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:08,980
There aren't many who have ventured far into the Underdark within our guild.

189
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:20,740
We do have a contact in Neverwinter that goes there regularly, who may be willing,

190
00:14:20,740 --> 00:14:25,659
for the right price, to take you down there.

191
00:14:25,659 --> 00:14:29,060
I turn in and look at Lex.

192
00:14:29,060 --> 00:14:36,139
I think ultimately this is your decision, but I have to say that between myself and

193
00:14:36,699 --> 00:14:44,460
Arvid, at least, we're far more equipped to deal with the things in the Underdark.

194
00:14:44,460 --> 00:14:48,740
I've never fought a dragon, at least not one that large.

195
00:14:48,740 --> 00:14:54,100
I'm not quite sure I want to start now unless we're sure we could do it.

196
00:14:54,100 --> 00:15:00,019
Yeah, I got to say, I think I agree with Margaret, dragon seems like a lot.

197
00:15:00,059 --> 00:15:07,100
Yes, I agree, a dragon, a six mile radius, sneaking.

198
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:15,100
I think if a small group can do it, it can only be by subterfuge and there's no subterfuge

199
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:19,100
when you're fighting a dragon.

200
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:28,819
That's embroidered on one of the quilts in my old home.

201
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:37,379
So I don't relish the idea of the Underdark, but I also don't fear death and the undead,

202
00:15:37,379 --> 00:15:43,900
as most creatures do, being familiar with it.

203
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:47,220
Who is this contact in Neverwinter?

204
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:52,180
It's a gnome who goes by the name of Budig.

205
00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:55,540
We've done business with him for a while.

206
00:15:55,539 --> 00:16:07,419
He gets us goods from his travels down there, components for various clients, travels down

207
00:16:07,419 --> 00:16:13,980
there quite regularly, was in pretty tight with Vafreet.

208
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:18,019
So maybe we won't mention the thing.

209
00:16:18,019 --> 00:16:19,019
Maybe not.

210
00:16:19,019 --> 00:16:23,240
Maybe we don't lead with it.

211
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,480
Is there anything you need from us for sharing this information?

212
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:33,240
If you do it, I mean, that's payment enough.

213
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:39,519
But if you don't, he can't know that I helped you.

214
00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:41,879
Of course not, of course not.

215
00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:45,639
Probably a good time to mention I've already forgotten what your name was.

216
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:46,639
Prims Blossom.

217
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,879
I see what you did there.

218
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:50,879
Who's got the list?

219
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:51,879
I guess me.

220
00:16:52,879 --> 00:17:02,600
I mean, one of the names mentioned, Mordekim, jumps out as kind of sparks to you as part

221
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,920
of that name is on that list.

222
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,920
Right.

223
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,920
Yeah.

224
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:13,079
So maybe I'll pull that out, you know, while we've got a knowledgeable person here.

225
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:20,319
This is the list of the people we're looking for and Thelonious is at the top

226
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:26,079
of that list and you've helped us with that and it looks like Mordekim is probably there

227
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,079
as well.

228
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,480
I think we know who VAR is.

229
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,359
Do you recognize this other name?

230
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,679
I don't recognize that name.

231
00:17:36,679 --> 00:17:40,000
I mean, this has to be Mordekim.

232
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,879
If this is Thelonious Primsbane, obviously.

233
00:17:44,879 --> 00:17:47,679
Mordekim makes sense.

234
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:55,200
I don't recognize VAR, but if you say you know who it is, then no, I don't recognize

235
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,039
nobody that I've dealt with.

236
00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:04,720
Well, then I guess we just need to say thank you and I'll take that coin purse that she

237
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:11,200
handed across the desk earlier as payment for the packages.

238
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,200
You know, we need money.

239
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,120
Just because we're on a mission of righteousness doesn't mean we don't have to eat and

240
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,640
stay at Inns.

241
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:25,560
Well, it's been an absolute pleasure chatting with you.

242
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:33,800
If there's anything else you need on your way out, Pia will lead you out and get you

243
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,800
many food.

244
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,800
Stay the night.

245
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,880
We'll take care of you.

246
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,440
I think just getting a sense of her.

247
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:50,660
Margaret stands up and thinks back to our short time with Vafreet.

248
00:18:50,660 --> 00:18:58,720
We had mentioned that Vafreet's location is under new management.

249
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,960
I think it's your management.

250
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:07,759
Perhaps I will help you a little bit securing the city.

251
00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:14,559
Make sure everyone's well fed and rested.

252
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:20,799
You've come with very interesting news today, friends.

253
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:24,160
Who are you?

254
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,160
Us?

255
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:34,000
Just four random strangers that no one thought could pull it off.

256
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,880
You're led back down the hallways and back out into the main tavern area.

257
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:47,519
She sits you down at the table, brings you the menu, says anything is taken care of.

258
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:53,920
Lex, you look into the purse, or if you look into the purse, I guess.

259
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,920
Sure.

260
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,920
Just spiders.

261
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,920
Jingle dangles.

262
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,920
Take that, Vafreet.

263
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:06,080
That's the usual payment of spiders.

264
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,440
And you find 25 platinum coins.

265
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,400
What do you say?

266
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,560
We enjoy our meal here, and then we look for a way to do some good deeds with all

267
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,960
this money we've come into.

268
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,759
That's not a bad idea.

269
00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:30,000
But perhaps set a little aside, we might want to do a bit of research of the Underdark

270
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,720
to see if there are special supplies we might need.

271
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:40,519
Absolutely, and it sounds like we'll probably need to pay this booted character to take

272
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:42,559
us down there.

273
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:47,839
But a small little splurge of good deeds before we leave town could be just the

274
00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:49,960
thing before heading into the Underdark.

275
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,680
I couldn't agree more.

276
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,240
I think it's a great idea.

277
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,160
So what are causes close to your heart?

278
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:07,200
Me personally, any time there's a underfunded orphanage, I always like to make sure everyone

279
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,799
has enough to eat and a safe place to sleep.

280
00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:16,920
I was going to say let's get freaky, but it seems out of place right now.

281
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,840
Well, especially after that answer.

282
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:22,039
Yeah, no, I should have gone first.

283
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:23,599
I hesitated.

284
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,359
My bad.

285
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,639
We'll pretend I didn't.

286
00:21:27,639 --> 00:21:29,199
I'll say mine last.

287
00:21:29,199 --> 00:21:30,240
No, it's fine.

288
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,759
I like this this wordplay that we have here where I was going to say something

289
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:42,439
sex related and you said for the kids.

290
00:21:42,439 --> 00:21:44,159
Perseus?

291
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:51,360
Well, if there's any like hobby farms or anything, maybe like some some artisan type

292
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,259
deals with maybe cheese, I don't know, could be anything.

293
00:21:55,259 --> 00:21:57,040
Maybe we could help them out.

294
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Yes.

295
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,040
Yes, I love it.

296
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,240
We can support local artisans.

297
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,040
We can help an orphanage.

298
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,160
I would love to find someone helping animals.

299
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,880
Perseus got me through the worst times in my life as my best friend, the rat,

300
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,800
and I feel like animals really offer something to the world.

301
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:22,800
And then if we have energy, whatever Arvid thinks we should do.

302
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,720
Oh, yes.

303
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:25,720
Don't get me wrong.

304
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:31,760
I mean, once the artisan cheeses are had and the children are fed and everyone's

305
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:37,560
got a place to sleep, well, let's fucking get freaky real work hard, play hard

306
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,560
kind of situation.

307
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,560
Oh, yeah.

308
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,200
It's not the years, it's the mileage.

309
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,240
I'm only twenty nine.

310
00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:53,160
OK, so we're looking for an orphanage, blah, blah, blah.

311
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,360
We go to an orphanage.

312
00:22:54,360 --> 00:23:00,200
We support some artisans and then Arvid, we support, we support some artisan

313
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,200
orphans. We got our wires crossed a little bit.

314
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:14,640
OK, well, we fast forward through you finding the local, the Yarder Orphanage

315
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,440
and donating some money.

316
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,640
You see children crying and happy and gleeful.

317
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:25,519
You see the head nun thankful and gifts you something.

318
00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:27,720
No, it doesn't gift you anything. That would be weird.

319
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,960
Thank you for this transaction.

320
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,880
She gives you a child.

321
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,880
The opposite of what we wanted.

322
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,640
Yeah, we're going in the underdark here.

323
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,360
We're perfect family. Yep.

324
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,800
You go to the Yarder furry farm.

325
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,360
No. We haven't.

326
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,280
No, Arvid's thing is last.

327
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,040
I said the Yarder animal shelter.

328
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,440
Mm hmm.

329
00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:06,000
And there's a lot of there's a lot of dogs and cats and goats and a small rodent

330
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,639
section, mice and rats.

331
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,480
And they are very supportive.

332
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,359
And then you each find a local artisan who you choose to donate some money to.

333
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,839
Which artisan do you find?

334
00:24:19,839 --> 00:24:23,839
Well, Perseus finds the local cheesemonger, the cheese head.

335
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:26,240
Yes, cheese head farms.

336
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,559
Yeah, that's the one.

337
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:29,679
It's a it's a small place.

338
00:24:30,959 --> 00:24:34,119
You know, they have one cheese hopper in the back.

339
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,799
There's a little jingle on the bell as you enter.

340
00:24:37,919 --> 00:24:42,079
There's one woman and one man behind the desk.

341
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,639
Man's reading the newspaper.

342
00:24:43,639 --> 00:24:45,879
A woman calls you in and says, hey, come in.

343
00:24:45,879 --> 00:24:48,799
What can I do for you?

344
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:49,879
Good, sir.

345
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,960
So we just stop by to sample some of your wares and see how business has been.

346
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,720
Well, business has been good.

347
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,080
It's a little slow right now.

348
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:08,760
It's been tough to tough to tough to source, you know, enough material.

349
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,840
But at the same time, when we get too much, some of it goes bad because we

350
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,520
only have the one hopper in the back.

351
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,920
Oh, sorry, I don't mean to dump that on you.

352
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,840
What what can I do for you?

353
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:21,519
You need some cheese here.

354
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:23,879
Take take some take some of this.

355
00:25:24,919 --> 00:25:27,759
It's one of our finest Gruyères.

356
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,480
Ooh, love a good Gruyere.

357
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,720
Thank you.

358
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,439
So you were saying about your too much supply, but not enough supply.

359
00:25:36,439 --> 00:25:37,839
And sometimes there's.

360
00:25:39,199 --> 00:25:43,240
You can tell I really know how a cheese business works by all of the

361
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,919
intricacies I've put into, you know, what goes into it.

362
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:49,599
Yes, yes.

363
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,320
So if you were to need more equipment, sounded like that was kind of the way.

364
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,800
Would you just have to sell more cheese to make that happen?

365
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,640
Or how would you go about making that happen?

366
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Well, that's how business works.

367
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:08,280
You sell goods for profit, save profit, grow business.

368
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,720
Well, I'm learning.

369
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,040
So let me write this down.

370
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,600
Yep.

371
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,920
Lather, rinse, repeat.

372
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Eventually you grow to a size that is sustainable in and of itself.

373
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,559
And cheese can be had by all.

374
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,079
Take down the big cheese, you know.

375
00:26:23,399 --> 00:26:26,759
Well, I really like that sentiment of cheese had by all.

376
00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:28,559
That is right up my alley.

377
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:34,480
Well, I recently came into some money and I'm trying to decide what to do

378
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,559
with it, and I was wondering if maybe you wanted it.

379
00:26:37,879 --> 00:26:40,119
You just you just want to give us money.

380
00:26:40,399 --> 00:26:43,799
Well, I mean, this Gruyere is delicious and I feel like more people

381
00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:45,000
should have access to it.

382
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,720
What kind of secret millionaire are you?

383
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,200
The best kind of former rat.

384
00:26:51,799 --> 00:26:53,279
There's a lot to unpack there.

385
00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:55,000
Yes, I know.

386
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,079
It's very confusing for a lot of people.

387
00:26:57,759 --> 00:26:58,759
But here's the deal.

388
00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:02,960
If you think this will help you supply cheese to the masses,

389
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:05,119
then I'm happy to help you.

390
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:08,799
I think it would.

391
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,279
What is your name, good sir?

392
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:13,119
Perseus.

393
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:18,400
Well, with this amount of money, we could buy two more hoppers.

394
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,240
And that means more cheese for the people.

395
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,120
And that means more cheese for the people.

396
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:24,480
See, I'm learning.

397
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,040
I'm learning since I've been here.

398
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,040
You've got it.

399
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,160
Well, with that, we could sell so much more cheese and you, Perseus.

400
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,200
Well, I could offer you nothing but but cheese for future future visits.

401
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,800
And any time you you come in, cheese is on the house.

402
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000
Well, I mean, that's very kind of you.

403
00:27:44,159 --> 00:27:46,839
And it's exactly what I was hoping for.

404
00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:50,639
Not exactly the most selfless task here, but.

405
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,039
I like and Perseus have a little cheese out of the deal.

406
00:27:56,039 --> 00:27:59,000
Waka Waka Waka Waka Waka.

407
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,399
Begins breaking down in tears over the cheese

408
00:28:05,319 --> 00:28:06,839
hoppers that could be had.

409
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:09,480
And you two discuss cheese all the afternoon.

410
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:10,640
The live long day.

411
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,360
We cut to Lex.

412
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,319
So I have found a jeweler.

413
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:20,319
Yeah, you find Ruby's jewels.

414
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:26,440
A small older woman comes out from the back and she's got like these, you know,

415
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:32,599
the tiny magnifying glass glasses just on the edge of her nose.

416
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,839
And she comes out from the back and says, yes, I'll be with you in a minute.

417
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,920
And she kind of you hear some stumbling around at the back and she comes out and says,

418
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,280
what can I do for you, sir?

419
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,800
Hello, I'm looking for something.

420
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,080
Something special.

421
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,080
Do you ever have just just a group of friends or or family that.

422
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,400
That you're so close to and you want to show them how much they mean to you,

423
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,760
that they're a they're an intricate part of making you whole.

424
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,800
My goodness.

425
00:29:02,639 --> 00:29:05,519
I. That's a lovely story.

426
00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:07,960
You have you have such people in your life.

427
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:15,119
Yes. So I'm wondering if you have something that I could that I could give them each as a token to show.

428
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,159
That we complete each other.

429
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,759
That's such a lovely sentiment.

430
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:21,599
Give me a moment.

431
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,279
There's been there's been a line of product that I've been working on.

432
00:29:27,399 --> 00:29:29,639
You might just be the one to try it out on.

433
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,200
She disappears into the back and then comes out with this.

434
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:41,920
With her sketchbook and in it, she flips to a page and it is a square.

435
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,560
It's like I saw it looks like a solid square piece, but in it are.

436
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:58,280
Small jewels and intricate iron work or metal work that show part of the landscape of the area.

437
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:04,279
There's like the mountain off in one side, the river kind of running through, connecting the pieces.

438
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:12,960
And then the city in or a city, not necessarily this city, but a city in the center, surrounded by these hills and mountains.

439
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,720
She says, I think this could be something.

440
00:30:16,599 --> 00:30:17,359
What do you think?

441
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:20,119
Well, it's it's beautiful.

442
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:21,160
But how does it.

443
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:24,639
This looks just like one.

444
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:35,080
Oh, of course, she flips the page and then it's like deconstructed to show four separate pieces that interlock with each other.

445
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:45,400
She said we could we could make them as rings, as a necklace, as a brooch, however you you see fit for your friends.

446
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,080
Oh, this are you are you Ruby?

447
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,880
This I am Ruby.

448
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,080
Yes, Ruby.

449
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,000
This is perfect.

450
00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:56,880
This is exactly this is exactly what I need.

451
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,319
Is it possible to get this fairly quickly?

452
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:06,279
We're going on a dangerous sort of trip and I'd love to give it to my friends before we go.

453
00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:07,559
We live in a magical world.

454
00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:09,559
I'm sure I could have it for the time that you need it.

455
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:16,279
Well, this is absolutely perfect, Ruby.

456
00:31:16,279 --> 00:31:19,920
You've made my day and I think I think my friend's day as well.

457
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,120
Yes, yes, just come back later later this evening and I'll have them all ready for you.

458
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,160
You can you can deliver them as you will.

459
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:30,400
I'm so looking forward to this.

460
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:38,640
I've been I've been thinking about this this idea just waiting for the perfect person to walk in who has three friends that they want to gift best friend things to.

461
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:41,680
What are the chances?

462
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,920
Margaret, what kind of thing do you want to support?

463
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,600
I think like a like a small weaponsmith, like a small blacksmith.

464
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,200
No one first saw the shopping montage, but I like it.

465
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,360
Right.

466
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,960
I didn't foresee it took a real twist.

467
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:03,840
It really did.

468
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,160
I was prepared to have you go fight a bit and an ancient black dragon.

469
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:08,720
Doesn't it?

470
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:18,640
Well, it's hard to just cram that in the back end of a two episode record night, or at least, you know, walk up to the mountain, be like, we've made a terrible decision.

471
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,560
This was a mistake.

472
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,400
It's the middle time.

473
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,040
Thanks for being here.

474
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,400
We're going to talk about some cool stuff.

475
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,240
Can't get enough of that sugar crisp.

476
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,320
Yeah, really.

477
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,680
As a little bit, I felt it once I was in it.

478
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,160
Thank you.

479
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:36,600
Thank you.

480
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,200
As soon as like halfway through, I was like, this is sugar crisp.

481
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,480
So I hope somebody calls it.

482
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,800
You need that creepy, like, oh, yeah, that the bear does at the end.

483
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:47,600
Is it a bear?

484
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,240
It's a bear.

485
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,000
Yeah, he's a bear.

486
00:32:50,039 --> 00:32:50,480
Yeah.

487
00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:50,759
Yeah.

488
00:32:50,759 --> 00:32:52,480
It's a bear or a confused cat.

489
00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:53,279
One of the two.

490
00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:54,240
Oh, was it?

491
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,319
No, he wasn't a wrecking.

492
00:32:55,319 --> 00:32:56,319
No, I think a bear.

493
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:57,519
I'm pretty sure bear.

494
00:32:57,559 --> 00:32:58,640
Isn't he sugar bear?

495
00:32:58,759 --> 00:32:59,559
I'm pretty sure.

496
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:00,000
Sugar bear.

497
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:00,279
Yeah.

498
00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:00,759
Sugar bear.

499
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,120
Sounds sexual.

500
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:03,160
Anyway.

501
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,279
Anyway, Rev's here.

502
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,400
Lex is here.

503
00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:07,559
You know who's not here?

504
00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:08,480
Amy.

505
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,599
Well, let's talk about who's here first, because Rev's our guest.

506
00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:13,000
Oh, that's true.

507
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,160
And he's a guest?

508
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,160
I thought he's just a part of a podcast.

509
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:22,360
I feel like we have tricked him into being a cast member on the show, and I love it.

510
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,560
We've done that with so many.

511
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,759
He is not the only one.

512
00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:28,840
If he came over to our house, he would be getting, like, plates and dishes like himself.

513
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,640
He would be inside of our refrigerator.

514
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,279
He's a guest, but we put that in quotation marks.

515
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,360
He's just one of the gang.

516
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,880
So Rev is, Rev's a part of our show.

517
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,200
He shows up every now and again, basically whenever we can steal him away from the

518
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,200
quit show, which you should definitely be listening to and also checking out their

519
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:48,319
new cool streams because they're doing, like, guest DMs and GMs for different games

520
00:33:48,319 --> 00:33:50,559
and showcasing different games over on their Twitch.

521
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,240
Very cool, very fun.

522
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,600
They've got like a Star Wars one and some other really cool stuff, which I

523
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,319
probably should have looked up before I immediately started talking about it.

524
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:00,799
But you know what?

525
00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:01,600
That's okay, cool.

526
00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:03,039
That's okay, too.

527
00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:04,240
It's fine.

528
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,759
And that's okay, cool.

529
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,000
And now we can talk about who's not here.

530
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,440
It's me.

531
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,039
I'm not here.

532
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:10,599
I'm missing me.

533
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:11,599
Amy's not here.

534
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:13,159
I mean, she's here right now.

535
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:14,839
But not here for the episode.

536
00:34:14,839 --> 00:34:15,839
Not in the episode.

537
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:18,639
I just wanted to pop in because I miss you.

538
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,639
Next time Rev comes on the show, which is probably going to be coming up

539
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:25,960
somewhat soon, Amy will be joining us.

540
00:34:26,399 --> 00:34:27,279
Dang right.

541
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:29,079
But until then, you know where you can find me?

542
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:33,039
Over on Patreon, Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

543
00:34:33,319 --> 00:34:33,879
That's right.

544
00:34:33,919 --> 00:34:38,839
Amy plays Gael Nighthunter Oglokanu in the game that Tom runs.

545
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:44,880
Yeah, she's a Goliath and she has no time for Russ's character Opal shenanigans.

546
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,559
So if you want to see that dynamic really play out like inter characterally and you

547
00:34:49,559 --> 00:34:52,400
do, you should join us.

548
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,680
Tom, give us a scene.

549
00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:54,200
Oh boy.

550
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,559
Here we go.

551
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:56,920
Picture it.

552
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,640
You're in the downtown office.

553
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,720
Welcome to the downtown office.

554
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,559
Oh, Nighthunter.

555
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:02,559
Good to see you here.

556
00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:04,320
Tom Kitty, this is not downtown office.

557
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,559
This is a coffee shop.

558
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,160
Yeah, no, this is my office.

559
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:13,199
Look, we've got baguettes, baguettes, bagels and baguettes and crumpets all together.

560
00:35:13,199 --> 00:35:13,879
It's a baguette.

561
00:35:13,879 --> 00:35:17,599
Harold, but behind the counter has asked you to leave many times.

562
00:35:17,839 --> 00:35:18,359
Harold.

563
00:35:18,839 --> 00:35:20,599
Oh, it's a change of ownership.

564
00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:23,799
I should probably talk to them about re-upping our contract while we're here too.

565
00:35:24,359 --> 00:35:24,920
Oh goodness.

566
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,719
There was never a contract.

567
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Two coffees please.

568
00:35:27,079 --> 00:35:30,199
Okay, Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

569
00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:31,239
We'll see you over there.

570
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,119
I would love to say that that wasn't an accurate representation of what goes on

571
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:38,239
in the game, but it was 100% inaccurate representation.

572
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:39,079
Yeah, I know.

573
00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:39,920
It was pretty spot on.

574
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:40,440
I loved it.

575
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:40,920
It was good.

576
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,880
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.

577
00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:45,000
Okay, we'll get you back to the episode.

578
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:45,839
Thanks for being here with us.

579
00:35:45,839 --> 00:35:46,679
Come join us on Patreon.

580
00:35:46,679 --> 00:35:47,199
Okay, bye.

581
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:54,079
Yeah, you find you find one after walking through you find a couple, but you find

582
00:35:54,079 --> 00:35:55,079
one that catches your eye.

583
00:35:55,839 --> 00:36:03,400
The sign hung outside the door is in intricate iron work and it just says

584
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,480
Harriet's on the on the sign.

585
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,599
It's a it's not not lavish or anything like that.

586
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:13,800
It's just a nice little hole in the wall place.

587
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:21,559
You enter and you hear like heavy banging on on iron in the back coming

588
00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:22,440
from the back of the room.

589
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,280
Nobody else in here.

590
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,880
You see a couple swords and some shields up on the walls.

591
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:29,840
Not a lot of things.

592
00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:31,160
Hello.

593
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,399
The hammering goes for a couple more and then stops.

594
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,039
You just hear it from the back.

595
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,039
Hello.

596
00:36:37,359 --> 00:36:38,559
Somebody somebody out there.

597
00:36:39,519 --> 00:36:40,159
Yes.

598
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:51,159
She comes a short halfling woman, stout halfling woman comes out and walks

599
00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:55,599
over to you and says, sorry, wiping her hands, kind of wiping the grease off.

600
00:36:56,359 --> 00:36:58,319
Oh, loud back there.

601
00:36:58,359 --> 00:36:59,719
Uh, hopefully you haven't been here long.

602
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:00,559
What can I do for you?

603
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,159
No, no, not at all.

604
00:37:02,199 --> 00:37:03,079
Noisy work.

605
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,519
It is, isn't it?

606
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:06,759
Uh, sorry.

607
00:37:06,759 --> 00:37:08,239
Is there anything I can do for you, miss?

608
00:37:08,639 --> 00:37:09,320
Uh, yes.

609
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,679
Um, and I'm going to pull my mace out.

610
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,360
Um, do you notice how this puts off this light?

611
00:37:18,039 --> 00:37:21,920
Uh, and the mace does, it gives off about 40 feet of light when it's drawn.

612
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,199
Uh, yes.

613
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,079
Yes, I do.

614
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,279
That's it.

615
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:30,040
I don't suppose you have, uh, the ability or perhaps the stock.

616
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,400
I'm looking for some daggers that would possibly do the same thing.

617
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,120
Uh, you want, you want a set of daggers that do the same thing.

618
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,920
Same light aspect.

619
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:39,400
Yes.

620
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,040
Yeah.

621
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,519
We're going someplace that's going to be rather dark and torches may

622
00:37:44,519 --> 00:37:46,040
not always be the best option.

623
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,040
Fair enough.

624
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,880
Um, yeah, I've got, she's looking it over.

625
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,640
I got some material that might be able to do something like that.

626
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,680
Um, how long are you in town for?

627
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:05,400
Uh, unfortunately, not long, but, uh, I could make a sizable

628
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,320
donation to move this to the top of your list.

629
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:08,800
Sure.

630
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,039
Sure.

631
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:10,480
Yeah.

632
00:38:10,559 --> 00:38:14,360
Um, I mean, I only got a couple other jobs, so a couple

633
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,720
daggers shouldn't take too long.

634
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:21,559
Um, you know what, come back in a couple hours and, uh, uh, you

635
00:38:21,559 --> 00:38:22,759
know, I'll see what I got.

636
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,920
Um, hopefully I'll have something that, uh, that'll suit you.

637
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,799
Um, you, you like the work on this one here?

638
00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:33,840
Would you want me to incorporate it to make it seem like it's a set or?

639
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:40,199
Um, what have I seen, um, everyone wield?

640
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:42,759
Uh, everyone of your friends?

641
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:44,079
Yeah.

642
00:38:44,559 --> 00:38:45,960
Arvid deals hot fire.

643
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:51,279
So yeah, usually goes with his magic, but he also

644
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,360
has a dagger of venom as a weapon.

645
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:54,000
Okay.

646
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:54,560
Yeah.

647
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,880
And Lex typically uses that great sword.

648
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,320
He has various other weapons, but that's the one that he goes for usually.

649
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,600
And what is, what is Percy's magic look like?

650
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,600
Uh, some sweet green hellfire.

651
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:10,400
Okay.

652
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:18,080
Uh, I think I would take a moment and describe, uh, to, to Harriet,

653
00:39:18,559 --> 00:39:23,679
um, what Lex's sword Hilt looks like so that it would match.

654
00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:29,079
Uh, and then I just scribe the, the green fire and kind of the dark

655
00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:32,159
energy, uh, that comes from Arvid.

656
00:39:32,759 --> 00:39:35,880
Uh, so they each kind of feel, well, kind of, so they go with

657
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,559
their, uh, with their, their mood, their tone.

658
00:39:39,199 --> 00:39:39,599
Okay.

659
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:40,360
Green fire.

660
00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:40,920
Okay.

661
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,519
Uh, what does Lex's Hilt look like?

662
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,799
I think it's probably quite simple.

663
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:54,120
Um, just like, uh, like a leather wrapped kind of, um, handle with a,

664
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,600
with very simple, basic look.

665
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,480
He, he got it on the go.

666
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,720
This is no, you know, great heirloom that's been passed down or anything.

667
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:09,800
It's a kind of an off the shelf standard great sword that was

668
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:12,440
cash and carry, non-custom made.

669
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:13,480
Yeah.

670
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,240
Then the fourth one could, could look like the, kind of the design of the mace.

671
00:40:17,559 --> 00:40:17,760
Yeah.

672
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,039
She, you give her all these descriptions and you go and then you come back a

673
00:40:21,039 --> 00:40:27,559
few hours later and, um, she comes out and she has a bundle, uh, wrapped up

674
00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:30,760
in cloth and she comes out and lays it out on the table and unrolls them.

675
00:40:31,159 --> 00:40:35,480
And, um, the first one is, uh, the one that looks like your mace.

676
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,719
It's, it follows the exact same intricate, um, almost gold work.

677
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,280
So she unravels it and all of them glow, just a slightly different color,

678
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,280
depending on what she's, the work she's done with them.

679
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,400
Um, yours is, yeah, it has this intricate work along the hilt and

680
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:58,000
the handle that kind of wrap, um, down, like there's a, a handle that

681
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,000
wraps over your knuckles, but also it kind of turns upwards, um, with

682
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,520
this starburst or sunburst pattern.

683
00:41:06,159 --> 00:41:11,440
Lex's, it definitely stands out as the most simple of all of them, but you

684
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,719
lift it and it's like, all of them are perfectly bAlydinced, but this one

685
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,039
especially, like she's taken the time.

686
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,759
Um, it's, it looks like just like a brick of, uh, of steel, but it's

687
00:41:21,759 --> 00:41:27,199
light, like the, um, that cuts across the hilt and it's like wrapped

688
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:33,039
very tightly with very fine leather that ends in this metal ball at the end.

689
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:43,079
Perseus's is like this green tinted steel, um, and it's like flames look

690
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:47,719
like they're climbing up the handle and wrapping around the base of the

691
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,759
blade and the blade itself is like tinted in this green and gives off

692
00:41:52,759 --> 00:41:55,599
this green aura, dark energy one.

693
00:41:55,599 --> 00:42:00,759
Like it's like this fluid dagger that there's no like stop to it.

694
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,480
It just moves from, moves from blade into the handle itself.

695
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,760
And like all kind of flows together.

696
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,800
Um, and she, she steps back and she's showing them all to you.

697
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,240
And I think I've done it.

698
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,320
Yes.

699
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,120
Uh, I would be inclined to agree.

700
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,560
These were, this was an amazing project to work on.

701
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,720
Thank you for, thank you for coming to me.

702
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:25,520
No, thank you.

703
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:26,560
These are beautiful.

704
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:31,599
You, you all settle up individually and meet back together.

705
00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:36,719
Um, I assume at the same tavern, given that they would say

706
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:37,639
that you could stay the night.

707
00:42:39,039 --> 00:42:40,840
You meet there and Arvid sits down.

708
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:46,000
He's like, goodness, I found this medicine shop that, uh, they're

709
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,079
dealing in some, is some interesting magic work, uh, and set them up with

710
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:55,199
a good security system, which they did not have previously.

711
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,480
I feel like I did a good job.

712
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,720
I'm, I'm sure you did a great job.

713
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:00,640
Well, good.

714
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:01,040
Thank you.

715
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,160
How did everybody else's evening go?

716
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,000
Well, if you don't mind, I jump in here.

717
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,000
I, I have a little something for you.

718
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,080
And I, in the center of the table, I like unfold kind of this pretty

719
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:20,040
cloth and see this, this small, what looks like this small scene of, of,

720
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:26,480
um, terrain and everyone, you know, probably is like, what did he do?

721
00:43:26,519 --> 00:43:27,039
Just kidding.

722
00:43:27,039 --> 00:43:27,639
It's very pretty.

723
00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:28,480
It's quite tiny.

724
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,679
It's like a miniature of, of, of the terrain surrounding us.

725
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,239
Oh, this is really cool.

726
00:43:34,519 --> 00:43:34,800
Yes.

727
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:35,559
It's beautiful.

728
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:39,239
But wait, there's more.

729
00:43:40,759 --> 00:43:45,279
And I, I separate the pieces and I hand one to each of my friends.

730
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:51,280
And I wanted to show you how important our, our bond is to me, that, that the,

731
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,280
the pieces of each of us help, help me feel whole.

732
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:59,560
So if you, if you would take this and, and, and keep it with you, I think

733
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,640
it will, will help keep you safe.

734
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,040
I'll never take it off.

735
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:04,960
Yes.

736
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,160
Thank you very much.

737
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,320
As I, I will wear it close to my heart.

738
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:13,360
I, uh, I also actually have something for each of you.

739
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,360
Um, and I set the, the bundle on the table and start to unwrap it.

740
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:26,680
Where we're headed, it's probably going to be literally and figuratively the

741
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,920
darkest thing that any of us have ever faced.

742
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:33,920
Uh, and I have the bundle open by this time and each of these daggers is

743
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,720
glowing with a slightly different light.

744
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,599
Um, and I passed them out to, to each of them.

745
00:44:40,559 --> 00:44:46,799
My hope is that with these, well, as long as we are each a light to one

746
00:44:46,799 --> 00:44:49,920
another, we'll always be able to find each other.

747
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:52,639
These are incredible, Margaret.

748
00:44:52,639 --> 00:44:56,000
I've always admired your mace and how it, it lights our path.

749
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,559
And this is, is super cool.

750
00:44:59,159 --> 00:44:59,519
Yes.

751
00:44:59,519 --> 00:45:00,639
It's super cool.

752
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,079
This is, this is wonderful.

753
00:45:04,799 --> 00:45:09,279
I feel like I did not get the hint that we were purchasing gifts

754
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,920
for each other and I got some pills.

755
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,200
Is this for the get wild time?

756
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:19,600
Yes.

757
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,480
I thought you don't need to provide gifts.

758
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,040
I thought you had planned our entertainment for the night.

759
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,800
Well, Perseus still has to go, but yes, we are getting freaky, freaky.

760
00:45:32,519 --> 00:45:34,960
Well, I brought cheese for everybody.

761
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:40,800
Um, and there's a little, uh, like cheese knife set for, for everybody

762
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,440
to go with as well, so now when we have cheese, we've all got the

763
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,920
stuff to eat the cheese with.

764
00:45:47,519 --> 00:45:51,480
And if we lose our lighted daggers, we have a small cheese

765
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,920
knife to take on the darkness.

766
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:54,800
Yes.

767
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:55,480
True.

768
00:45:55,559 --> 00:45:59,559
Or if you lose the cheese knife, you've got something

769
00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:00,720
to still cut the cheese with.

770
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,400
Especially for all our nighttime cheese fests.

771
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,640
This will be very helpful.

772
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,040
Late night snacks.

773
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:08,840
All right.

774
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,200
Who's ready to get fucked?

775
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,440

Have a great week and we'll talk again soon.

791
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,200
That no one thought could pull it off.

792
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,080
Exactly what I was looking for.

793
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,360
I thought you were going with the time honored tradition of making

794
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,720
our guests name our groups.

795
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,200
Yeah, me too.

796
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,040
We're the Rough Riders.

797
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,160
That would have been a wild answer.

798
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,800
I've already done my naming.

799
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:38,880
That's right.

800
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:40,920
You just hear Harvard in the back.

801
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:41,480
Stop.

802
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:42,760
Throw away.

803
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:48,200
No, is that not?

804
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:50,040
I thought we had this conversation on the way here.

805
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:50,600
Sorry.

806
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:50,840
Sorry.

807
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,160
I just, weird spell, weird songs.

808
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,080
Yeah, fair enough.

809
00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:58,560
What you want to do?

810
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,160
Chat about things, cut to another scene.

811
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,480
How do you, how do you want to go about this?

812
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,880
Can we have a small, fun adventure before we head into the underdark?

813
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,040
Cause we're probably out of game, obviously not heading into the

814
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:13,200
underdark tonight.

815
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,240
No, probably not.

816
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:16,120
Yeah.

817
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,520
So what can we do that's fun guys?

818
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,000
Karaoke competition.

819
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,600
Ooh, cheese, cheese shop.

820
00:48:24,799 --> 00:48:25,119
Sure.

821
00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:26,880
For the back half of this episode.

822
00:48:29,799 --> 00:48:31,119
Meet there and Harvard sits down.

823
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:34,599
He's like, well, I, nope, that's not Harvard.

824
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:36,519
Oh, wow.

825
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:37,000
Oh boy.

826
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,960
Went real new for you there, didn't we?

827
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:39,920
Oh jeez.

828
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,440
