[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.2s] Moot, uh, Glim, you're there now, too. Sully!
[5.8s] Hey, Dainry, what's up?
[8.9s] I was a bit of an explosion.
[10.2s] Oh, was it Jam?
[12.3s] No.
[13.0s] Also, I don't think explosions are referred to as a bit of an explosion, usually.
[18.1s] Uh, hey, I found something over here.
[20.9s] I mean, this ash is really pink. It's pretty strange.
[25.0s] And it goes into trying to find a source and trying to access it and use it in his spells.
[32.2s] And it gets to the last page, which is basically just like this, like, hard sketched image.
[41.1s] It's hard to describe even as you look at it, but it's like nothing you've ever seen before.
[46.6s] Does this look familiar to you at all, Terry?
[48.6s] Oh, that looks kind of scary, doesn't it?
[50.4s] Yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe it's something that you've seen before.
[53.9s] Anyways, we can probably go check the, uh, I mean, we can go check that list.
[57.5s] We don't need to check that list. I seem like I would know who's on that list.
[61.0s] Do you know where they live or hang out?
[63.5s] And what's their name?
[65.4s] Yeah.
[66.1s] Oh, oh, oh, name's Boots.
[69.8s] Small round object flies out of the window towards you.
[74.8s] Oh, I want to catch it.
[83.9s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. I'm your dungeon master, Russ More. He,
[101.3s] Him, also with me today is Tom Laird.
[104.8s] Yeah, that's me, He, Him, and I'm playing Moot, who also goes by He,
[108.6s] Him, a wild magic half-orc sorcerer.
[111.9s] And Amy More.
[113.2s] Yeah, she, her, and I am playing Sullivan Sleight, a lightfoot halfling rogue. He,
[119.6s] Him.
[120.2s] And Carla Maxted.
[121.9s] She, her, playing Glim, a dragonborn pAlydin. Also, she, her.
[127.1s] Happy to be here with everybody tonight. Having such a good time.
[132.6s] We laughed so hard in the last downtime that I would like to just say,
[137.0s] down times are fun.
[138.2s] Down times are fun.
[139.4s] It's an extension of the fun, and patrons $5 plus get access to them,
[143.9s] and they come out every Saturday after we release an episode. And this last one,
[149.8s] let me just put out there, Shmegma.
[153.4s] Oh my God.
[154.2s] People have heard that word. They know what it is. Some people know.
[158.7s] Some people know.
[159.1s] None of us did.
[161.0s] If you don't know what the down times are, they happen immediately after we record an
[167.4s] episode. We do like a two to five to 10 minute debrief about the things that happen in it,
[173.2s] and maybe test drives.
[176.6s] And maybe some random team boy, gross words.
[180.6s] Yep. All of that and more over at Patreon.com slash dumb dragoncast,
[185.1s] where when you are a patron, you also get an episode dedicated to you,
[188.0s] like today's patron, Adam from Snyder's Return.
[192.6s] Thanks, Adam.
[193.2s] Thank you, Adam.
[194.6s] Thank you, Adam. Really enjoy Snyder's Return.
[197.3s] Was a guest over there. You should go check him out.
[199.8s] He interviews tabletop RPG creators and streamers and podcasters and all sorts of people in the
[205.4s] industry. It's very cool. You should go check him out.
[208.6s] Thank you. Patreon.com slash dumb dragoncast.
[213.2s] Come join us. We'd love it.
[215.9s] We would love it.
[217.0s] No, fuck it. Let's play.
[218.2s] I would like to.
[226.3s] I want to catch it and throw it back.
[229.1s] All right, Monk. Let's see if you can do that.
[233.1s] Stop stealing Elia's thing. She hasn't got to do it yet.
[236.6s] I know.
[237.6s] OK, I did make a note that there will be projectiles fired at you in the next session.
[242.8s] I mean, I'm good with decks, so I figure something out of midair maybe.
[251.4s] Yeah, sure. OK, great. Do it.
[254.2s] Yeah, I want to catch it.
[255.8s] I'm going to catch it.
[256.8s] Catch it.
[257.4s] Oh, fuck me. I'm going to use.
[260.2s] Hold on. Fuck. Jesus.
[263.1s] It's going great. Yeah.
[266.0s] That's what Amy sounds like when she rolls well.
[268.1s] Everything is fine. I have halfling luck or something.
[271.5s] What's that's a thing. You roll a one.
[274.0s] No, that's when it counts.
[274.7s] That's only when it counts.
[276.2s] Yeah. Oh.
[279.4s] What'd you roll? A two.
[282.6s] So a total of seven. Great.
[285.4s] So that's an auto fail on your dexterity saving throw.
[288.2s] Everybody else, roll a dexterity saving throw as this explosion goes off.
[292.8s] Please be confetti. Please be confetti.
[296.1s] I also rolled a two, which gives me a two.
[300.6s] Oh, I'm not very dexterous. I'm quite large.
[304.0s] Hey, guys, without a word of a fucking lie, I also rolled a two.
[309.8s] What's happening?
[311.0s] How's Terry?
[311.9s] Oh, Terry. Let's see what Terry rolled.
[314.6s] I almost called him Jerry.
[317.6s] Terry rolled an 18.
[319.2s] Yeah, I did.
[319.7s] Oh, I mean, he's OK. He's in full plate.
[322.6s] So that's disadvantage. Still a 12.
[325.6s] So still way better than all of you.
[328.2s] Hey, listen.
[329.2s] Our six combined.
[330.8s] Yeah. Hey, hey, hey.
[332.3s] I had a seven, technically, excited two with five.
[336.0s] So how I see this is you see movement up in the upper balcony, curtains moving,
[343.2s] projectile, fizzy flames coming out of it.
[347.8s] Sully steps forward.
[350.0s] I got this, guys.
[351.8s] Reaches his hand high in the sky towards this as it soars past him.
[359.7s] Behind him and explodes projecting him forward and everybody else blowing you back.
[367.0s] You're all going to be prone.
[369.7s] Everybody's going to take four bludgeoning damage.
[374.6s] OK, as well as.
[376.2s] Oh, so this wasn't glitter.
[379.9s] I'll describe it to you as well as three piercing damage
[385.1s] as this projectile explodes with a giant plume of rainbow confetti.
[392.2s] But mixed within this confetti is tiny shards of glass.
[396.6s] What kind of fucking psycho lives it?
[398.6s] What the fuck is wrong with you, man?
[403.2s] And the putz putz this guy in the face.
[405.7s] When you look up as the kind of the dust settles and you're
[409.8s] assessing each of your wounds and look up, he's disappeared from the upstairs window.
[414.2s] Sully's pulling glass out of his face, just pissed.
[416.4s] It's so much worse with it.
[417.8s] Why would you make it so beautiful?
[419.9s] Glitter was bad enough.
[422.6s] Isn't he on probation?
[424.4s] Is this not some sort of violation of probation?
[427.0s] This is a definite violation of probation.
[428.4s] He's going to need a citation.
[430.8s] Good thing I brought my book of citations.
[434.9s] This is definitely a 463.
[436.9s] Make a notation in your citation.
[439.6s] This guy's about to find his expiration date.
[443.0s] Maybe we'll go for some libations.
[445.0s] Oh, after we solve this mystery.
[447.0s] Yeah, that'll make everything feel better.
[448.9s] What was I doing?
[450.9s] Well, I don't know.
[451.8s] Citation, right?
[452.6s] Apprehend him.
[453.0s] Okay, I'm going to write him a ticket and then we're going to go in and get him.
[457.4s] Well, you said write a citation.
[458.5s] Just go in and get him and then you can write him the ticket.
[461.9s] I want to sneak around back because that seems like something sneaky.
[467.0s] That's a rogue, isn't it?
[470.2s] Guys, I'm going to go around the back.
[472.0s] I'm going to make sure he doesn't exit through any sort of back door situation.
[476.8s] Oh, yeah.
[477.9s] Good, good idea.
[478.8s] Okay, we'll go up to the front door.
[480.8s] Watch out.
[481.3s] I mean, he really, really likes explosions.
[484.0s] Yeah, I can tell.
[485.3s] Yeah, yeah.
[486.4s] You've made that abundantly clear.
[487.8s] Okay, yeah, I want to.
[490.1s] Sully goes around.
[491.9s] Roll investigation as you are because I presume you're looking for things that
[496.7s] might make explosions in your face.
[499.2s] 17.
[500.5s] 17?
[501.0s] Yeah.
[501.4s] Great.
[502.3s] Moot and Glim and Terry.
[504.8s] Well, Terry's going up to the front door.
[506.0s] Moot and Glim, where are you going?
[507.6s] I think that I will also head towards the front.
[511.9s] I mean, you said it's a rundown shack.
[514.6s] I'm assuming there isn't wings that we need to explore various grounds.
[521.8s] But I'm also going to investigate as I approach because the bombs.
[526.9s] Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.
[528.5s] This place is the bomb, you guys.
[530.2s] Everybody who wants to may roll investigation.
[533.4s] 18.
[533.8s] Well, that's better.
[535.4s] 19 for me.
[536.2s] Oh, yeah, investigating so good.
[538.6s] So Sully disappears kind of around the side and you no longer see him.
[544.1s] Not that he's disappeared, but just that he's gone out of sight.
[546.7s] Object permanence.
[547.4s] Don't just want to make sure there's no portals beside.
[551.9s] He is still there.
[553.0s] Sully, where did he go?
[556.6s] Sully has been raptured.
[558.7s] So it's over, guys.
[560.0s] It's over.
[560.6s] We call these characters the babies, so I just want to make sure.
[563.4s] Moot and Glim, you're following behind Terry.
[565.9s] Terry is confidently stepping up the stairs and both of you see a thin wire
[570.6s] that he's about to step on as he steps his foot towards the top.
[577.8s] Yeah, what's up?
[581.0s] Like a trip wire.
[582.3s] Oh, he kind of takes a step back and stumbles down the couple steps.
[585.9s] Oh, yeah.
[586.6s] No, I totally saw it.
[587.8s] It was just going to make sure that everybody else was seeing whose side you're on.
[595.3s] I know you're on our side.
[596.6s] It's OK.
[597.1s] I was I didn't see it.
[598.2s] I was just trying to be cool.
[600.0s] I was looking at the notes that I wrote down earlier.
[602.4s] OK, but like, you know, this guy loves his explosions,
[606.1s] so we got to be a little more.
[607.4s] What about the explosion of the front door?
[609.2s] It sounds like this guy does.
[610.2s] I think he'll put an explosion anywhere.
[612.2s] All right, OK.
[614.1s] I wouldn't use the toilet here either, is all I'm saying.
[616.6s] I should have gone at Murlock's before we left.
[619.3s] I should have gone at Murlock's.
[621.0s] Yeah.
[621.5s] All right.
[621.9s] This is Russ's game.
[622.6s] He's not going to let you go.
[623.6s] These are life decisions that we all make.
[628.6s] OK, the three of you go just take a look at where the trip wire is attached to,
[636.6s] and we cut to the back where we see Sully.
[639.7s] Coming around the side, you haven't found anything
[644.1s] moving around the side of the building.
[646.1s] You come to the back and it is just a door with a single glass panel in it.
[654.6s] Curtains drawn at the back door.
[657.1s] Three steps up.
[658.5s] You don't see anything walking up to the steps.
[662.2s] There's no trip wires.
[663.4s] There's no pressure plates.
[665.0s] No, nothing like that.
[666.2s] I'm going to press my back to the door, like not to the door, but sorry.
[673.5s] I'm going to press my back to the back of the house
[677.5s] so that I am just outside of view.
[680.2s] If someone were to look out the door, they wouldn't see me.
[683.3s] OK.
[683.8s] And I'm not on the stairs.
[685.2s] I'm like down next to the house so that I can get the jump on him if he decides to leave.
[692.5s] That's what I want to do.
[693.9s] And can I like ready in action for when he comes out?
[697.4s] Is that a thing?
[698.0s] Popcorn.
[700.3s] I don't know if that's how that works,
[702.0s] but I yelled it.
[703.0s] So it's what I want to do.
[704.2s] I mean, sure.
[704.6s] Why not?
[705.0s] Yeah, sure.
[705.5s] Yeah, OK.
[706.4s] I've got time to ready in action.
[707.8s] I'm over here just like.
[709.4s] OK, so you are putting your back to the wall, waiting for him to make a move.
[715.3s] Yes.
[716.5s] Got it.
[717.1s] Yes.
[717.2s] We cut back to the front.
[718.6s] I don't get to ready in action.
[719.8s] You can absolutely ready in action.
[721.3s] What do you want your action to be?
[723.7s] I'm going to hit him with my fright.
[727.0s] I'm going to slash at him with my frightful sort of reflection.
[729.4s] I'm going to cut that motherfucker as he comes in.
[731.7s] Cut a bitch.
[732.5s] Yep, got it.
[733.7s] OK, that's what I wanted to do.
[735.4s] Cut back to the front.
[736.4s] You've disengaged what looks to be like a pipe bomb
[740.4s] that is set up at the side of this staircase
[744.2s] that looked like it would have been triggered by this.
[746.0s] So you've gently cut the wire and are able to proceed to the door.
[753.1s] And Terry goes up and knocks on the door and stands and waits.
[757.0s] Terry, I think just maybe he's not going to answer the door.
[766.6s] Oh.
[768.5s] You know what with throwing the confetti bomb at us.
[772.2s] Right, right, right, right, right, right.
[773.2s] Yeah, yeah, OK.
[774.1s] Yeah, sure.
[774.7s] Well, should we kick in the door or should we?
[778.5s] Well, maybe we take a close hard look at that door
[782.6s] and see if we see any more wires kicking around.
[785.3s] Let's really explore the space of the door.
[788.6s] Terry moves his face into the door and he's looking at the door.
[793.0s] It's looking like a door.
[796.1s] Does everybody else roll?
[797.4s] Like investigating what's your face.
[800.3s] Nineteen again.
[801.6s] You don't see anything visible from the outside.
[806.8s] I'm going to open the door.
[808.1s] Whoa, whoa, I was looking at that part.
[809.8s] OK.
[810.8s] Oh, oh, sorry.
[811.9s] No, that's OK.
[813.0s] The door swings open and in.
[817.3s] Loud creak echoes down the hallway before you.
[820.6s] And you see the insides very much like the outsides.
[824.2s] All tossed around, furniture overturned.
[826.6s] Looks like there have been explosions
[828.6s] that have been set off in various parts of this house.
[831.3s] There is a welcome mat that looks to be in not pristine condition.
[837.1s] It looks used, but it doesn't look like the rest of the house.
[840.8s] It's very embellished writing on it.
[843.8s] Welcome with a wand and a sparkler down in one of the corners.
[849.4s] I mean, hey, Glenn, does this welcome mat and look a little suspicious to you?
[854.7s] Yeah, it just seems out of place.
[856.1s] Really doesn't fit the decor.
[857.5s] Kind of reminds me of the sign, I think.
[861.2s] It seems more like Murlock's kind of brand.
[864.2s] I mean, I don't know him or boots, but is this...
[867.4s] Terry, you'll know the sign better at Murlock's.
[869.6s] Is this the same?
[870.3s] Kind of looks familiar now that you say it,
[873.2s] with the little kind of thing coming out of the end.
[876.1s] Yeah, that's the part.
[879.8s] Well, yeah, maybe he stole it.
[883.0s] If he was the one writing the letters and had such a shot against him,
[887.4s] maybe he stole his mat and now we got him.
[890.4s] I mean, maybe that's the extent of his crimes, but...
[894.2s] Could be.
[895.5s] Maybe he just has great taste in doormats.
[898.0s] I think we should just...
[899.1s] Yeah, yeah.
[899.8s] Boots?
[902.2s] Boots?
[902.9s] Boots, we're coming in.
[904.3s] You hear quick footsteps upstairs.
[907.8s] My name's Glam, here to save the world.
[911.0s] Not here exactly to save the world, just like on the planet to save the world,
[914.6s] but you know, you know what I mean.
[915.9s] Like, you know about destiny.
[917.2s] Anyway, Boots, do you want to come?
[919.1s] We just want to talk to you about something.
[921.2s] Have you entered or are you still doing this from the doorway?
[923.4s] I think I enter, but I step over the mat because it seems out of place,
[931.7s] so I'm going to not touch it.
[933.3s] Okay.
[933.6s] Yeah, you step over the mat.
[935.2s] Moot, are you following or are you staying outside for now?
[938.2s] I'll follow.
[938.7s] Okay.
[939.3s] Glam and Moot step in.
[940.7s] Terry's following behind.
[942.0s] He tells a dog to wait.
[945.0s] Marky Bark, I can't remember for the life of me what we named that dog.
[949.7s] He tells him to wait outside
[952.1s] because I forgot that that dog turns into a giant monster.
[955.1s] So maybe we'll just leave him outside for now.
[957.8s] Maybe we bring him inside.
[959.4s] Maybe.
[960.2s] You two step in and as you step in, you step over the mat.
[964.2s] You hear more scuffling upstairs.
[965.9s] No response, but also you look into the room immediately to the left
[970.1s] and there's a fireplace and you hear like this metallic bounce.
[981.4s] It's coming down the fireplace until you see this,
[987.0s] what looks like a wooden oblonged shape,
[994.2s] roll out of the fireplace and towards you.
[1000.7s] Doesn't have any like sparklers or anything like that.
[1003.6s] Just looks like a carved or whittled wooden object.
[1010.6s] Now rolling towards you.
[1012.9s] I'm going to cast my crab claw mage hand and have it like
[1018.2s] pick the object up and toss it back towards the fireplace.
[1021.8s] All in one motion.
[1023.3s] Your crab claw appears, quickly picks it up and throws it
[1028.1s] and you roll on your wild magic surge table.
[1031.5s] It was a 17.
[1032.7s] And throw it back in and you hear it land
[1036.5s] and it splinters and shoots out into the fireplace
[1043.3s] and some out into the room.
[1044.8s] So yeah, there would be a degree of difficulty towards you.
[1048.3s] So let's roll a dexterity saving throw from moot and glim.
[1051.0s] 18.
[1052.2s] 14.
[1053.0s] Both of you managed to kind of skirt to the side
[1055.5s] and these wooden splinters shoot out into the walls that you see.
[1060.6s] And then you hear a voice call down like echo down.
[1063.5s] You hear it in the house, but it echoes down through the fireplace.
[1066.6s] Did that one get you?
[1068.6s] Nope, boots still here.
[1070.2s] Ah, okay.
[1071.2s] Next one will get you.
[1072.6s] I mean, we just we just want to talk.
[1074.6s] You could just come down.
[1075.7s] Maybe this is all nothing.
[1077.3s] Also, cool doormat.
[1078.4s] Where'd you get the doormat?
[1082.7s] We cut out to Sully.
[1084.0s] You hear all of this.
[1085.9s] I've been playing the animal game by myself
[1087.5s] where you go through the alphabet
[1089.0s] and you try to think of an animal for every letter.
[1091.4s] Sure.
[1091.8s] So right now I'm at J.
[1095.8s] Giraffe.
[1097.6s] The explosion goes off.
[1098.9s] Go.
[1099.6s] Oh my God.
[1101.1s] I don't rush up the stairs.
[1103.8s] I slowly sneak up the stairs checking for traps
[1109.2s] and entering through the back door.
[1111.1s] You open the back door and moot and glim,
[1114.1s] you are calling out maybe this isn't a thing
[1117.3s] and then you hear the door open at the back
[1120.2s] and you see Sully poke his head through.
[1122.4s] Sully takes his finger and puts it in front of his lips
[1125.1s] and makes the shh.
[1128.4s] So boots, we know you're upstairs
[1130.6s] and I point at Sully like.
[1132.9s] That's what you would like to think.
[1134.1s] Well, we could we could hear you up there
[1135.8s] with your tiny little footsteps
[1137.8s] and plus you threw something down the fireplace chimney.
[1141.4s] So gravity works differently in these parts.
[1146.1s] Okay.
[1146.6s] Now, is that like a regional thing
[1148.0s] or specific to this location?
[1150.7s] You hear audibly hear pages flipping in a book.
[1154.6s] As moots got him talking,
[1156.2s] I'm inching my way towards the dumbwaiter.
[1160.7s] Sure.
[1161.3s] Yeah.
[1162.1s] That is in the kitchen.
[1164.1s] Dumbwaiters in a rickety building
[1165.5s] are always a great choice.
[1167.8s] Sully certainly thinks so.
[1169.0s] He's the only one who could get in there.
[1170.4s] Yep.
[1170.8s] Well, it looks and then there's a big pause.
[1175.2s] Just stops mid sentence.
[1177.1s] Sorry.
[1178.6s] What does it look like?
[1181.0s] So it's like an upside down gravity house
[1183.4s] that you live in.
[1185.0s] Watch out for this one.
[1186.6s] Then you hear a huge stump
[1188.6s] as a chandelier falls through a hole in the ceiling.
[1194.2s] Make a dexterity saving throw.
[1195.8s] Not the chandelier here.
[1201.3s] 18 again.
[1202.5s] This shack is very fancy.
[1203.8s] It has a dumbwaiter.
[1205.0s] It has a chandelier.
[1206.4s] It's got it going on 16 for me, Russ.
[1208.6s] Okay.
[1209.1s] Both of you dodge out of the way
[1210.6s] and as the chandelier hits,
[1212.0s] there's this plume of smoke
[1214.7s] and it changes color as it begins to roil up
[1219.9s] and out of this chandelier
[1221.1s] where clearly there was a device hidden within
[1225.6s] and it obscures sight within this room
[1229.7s] and the adjacent rooms making it hard to see.
[1234.3s] Sully, you climb into the dumbwaiter.
[1236.1s] Yeah, I do.
[1236.6s] As the chandelier falls, you close the door.
[1239.7s] Smoke starts coming into it.
[1242.5s] There is a rope that you could begin to pull on.
[1246.4s] Yep.
[1246.9s] I want to begin pulling on that.
[1248.3s] Okay.
[1248.8s] You begin pulling on it.
[1250.1s] But I'm trying to go like not in jerky motions.
[1253.2s] I'm trying to go like.
[1254.4s] Smooth.
[1255.6s] Okay.
[1256.1s] Roll me a d20.
[1257.9s] Roll me a d20.
[1263.4s] Wait, but you didn't say what for.
[1266.2s] No, I just said roll me a d20.
[1269.5s] Maybe low's good.
[1270.6s] Maybe low's good, too?
[1272.7s] God, the two's.
[1273.8s] I don't know.
[1274.5s] Okay.
[1274.8s] You're in jail, Dice.
[1276.7s] Smooth as butter.
[1278.7s] It's going.
[1280.7s] You get what you based on spatial reasoning,
[1284.2s] which Sully's very good at, obviously.
[1286.4s] I'm going to get out of the wrong floor, you guys.
[1289.7s] No, you get almost up to what you believe is to be the second floor,
[1294.2s] and you're kind of holding it there with one hand,
[1296.8s] and you hear the rope begin to splinter and fray and snap.
[1303.8s] Oh, shit.
[1304.7s] Who's in there?
[1306.1s] And you fall back down to the ground.
[1309.0s] No one.
[1310.2s] You're going to take three bludgeoning damage
[1312.2s] as the dumb waiter collapses around you.
[1314.2s] God damn it.
[1315.4s] Moot and Glim, you hear like this loud.
[1317.4s] No one.
[1318.2s] And then and debris spitting back out into the main floor where you are.
[1325.1s] I exit it, and they see me like stagger out of it,
[1328.8s] totally covered in dust and cobwebs.
[1332.2s] That wasn't the move.
[1334.3s] Oh, I thought maybe you got him.
[1336.4s] Did you not get him?
[1337.6s] Yeah, I, oh, I didn't get him.
[1341.4s] Oh, hey, Boots.
[1344.1s] Aren't you guys gone yet?
[1346.5s] No, just come downstairs.
[1348.0s] We just want to talk to you.
[1355.6s] I can try and persuade him.
[1357.1s] Please do.
[1357.8s] Oh, that was a really bad roll.
[1359.1s] I have such a good plus.
[1360.6s] Doesn't matter, though.
[1361.4s] That's a seven.
[1363.2s] Come on, please, Boots.
[1365.1s] Come on, please.
[1367.0s] What's your favorite explosion?
[1370.2s] Flavor.
[1372.4s] Good answer.
[1374.4s] Ah, I was going to say like Bahamut's love in my heart.
[1378.7s] Is that a big one?
[1380.7s] Oh, it's the biggest.
[1384.4s] Like what do you add into it?
[1386.4s] Like a lot of love and loyalty and strength and justice.
[1393.3s] You hear as Glim is talking, you hear, I mean, both of you hear.
[1397.6s] There's no reason that both of you wouldn't hear, but footsteps slowly.
[1401.9s] You can tell he's trying to be quiet, moving towards this hole in the floor,
[1407.0s] or floor for him, ceiling for you, where the chandelier fell through.
[1412.9s] And as Glim is kind of describing how big Bahamut's love is,
[1418.0s] you see just the silhouette through the haze and fog and smoke
[1423.7s] that has been created of like a figure.
[1426.7s] And he's got one of those.
[1428.6s] He's got one of the first bombs that you saw with the whiz popper on it.
[1434.8s] And it looks like he's going to throw it down.
[1436.8s] So I've got a visual on him.
[1438.8s] You've got a visual on the top of his head and his hand holding a device.
[1444.2s] OK, I'm going to cast Mind Spike on him.
[1449.4s] All right.
[1450.6s] We're getting serious now.
[1452.1s] That's right.
[1453.0s] Remind me what Mind Spike does and what I have to do to not be affected by it.
[1459.0s] I can reach in the mind of one creature I can see within range.
[1462.2s] The target must make a wisdom saving throw
[1464.2s] or take some damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one.
[1468.7s] On a failed save, you always know the target's location until the spell ends,
[1472.7s] but only while the two of you are on the same plane of existence.
[1476.8s] While you have this knowledge, the target can't become hidden from you.
[1479.8s] And if it's invisible, it gains no benefit from that condition against you.
[1484.0s] OK.
[1485.1s] So you must make a wisdom saving throw.
[1489.2s] Six wins, right?
[1491.0s] Six is not even halfway there.
[1493.8s] I was so close.
[1495.0s] So close, everybody.
[1498.6s] It does not happen for him to avoid.
[1501.6s] That was a weird way to say that.
[1503.8s] It works for you.
[1505.4s] Perfect.
[1506.1s] All right.
[1506.9s] So you're going to take 16 psychic damage.
[1510.0s] Oh, mind.
[1513.0s] Moot's not fucking around anymore.
[1514.9s] No.
[1515.7s] Well, that glitter bomb really pissed me off.
[1517.7s] Yeah, it was a real asshole kind of weapon.
[1520.3s] Yeah.
[1520.9s] OK.
[1521.4s] So, yeah, Glim, you're describing the love of Bahamut and Moot.
[1527.3s] You see Boots and you cast Mind Spike.
[1530.7s] And as you did, sorry, did you roll Wild Magic?
[1533.8s] I did not.
[1535.3s] Well, that was a crit fail.
[1536.5s] You cast Mind Spike and you, Glim and Moot and Sully, everybody.
[1541.8s] Sully, you're picking yourself up trying to get out of this dumb waiter.
[1544.9s] Yeah, it's rough for me.
[1549.4s] What's Terry doing?
[1550.4s] He's kind of standing outside, just kind of blowing the smoke.
[1553.2s] Being like, you guys good in there?
[1554.9s] You guys got him out yet?
[1557.0s] He's still outside?
[1558.2s] And Moot, you cast Mind Spike and you see and know the position of Boots.
[1565.0s] You can see him roiling on the ground, screaming at this damage that he's taking,
[1569.8s] this pain that he's in.
[1571.8s] And then you see his body and his face and all this smoke
[1578.5s] twist into that image that you saw in the journal.
[1585.0s] And it becomes clearer to you.
[1588.7s] Not clear in that you know what it is, but clearer and more visual.
[1593.4s] And it's like you are transported somewhere else.
[1597.2s] Everywhere gets dark and these colors become more vivid as this shape begins to form around you.
[1604.7s] And you hear this voice, but it's not in a language that you can comprehend.
[1614.2s] Make a wisdom saving throw.
[1616.6s] Let's see, 13.
[1618.2s] You see this image and hear this voice for what seems like a second.
[1628.7s] And you're violently brought back to the room
[1633.4s] with Glimselly and Terry standing in front of you with a panicked look on their face,
[1637.2s] like trying to shake you back to reality.
[1641.0s] Moot, oh, are you okay?
[1642.8s] Sammy, slap him.
[1643.8s] Did you guys see that, what happened with the face?
[1647.6s] We saw you do some magic to Boots and it was pretty rad, but-
[1651.8s] I thought I broke you again.
[1653.4s] Yeah, you just, where you been buddy?
[1656.7s] I've been here.
[1659.0s] I know, I mean like physically you were here, but you were like, you know-
[1662.4s] Oh, you were definitely somewhere else.
[1664.4s] Terry was going to slap you.
[1665.9s] I was, I was getting ready.
[1667.1s] I took off my gauntlet though.
[1670.8s] I told him he didn't have to, but he's a gentleman.
[1673.4s] I mean, you've been out for-
[1674.6s] It's very kind of you that you were going to.
[1676.8s] We got Boots, whatever you did with his, he says it hurts really bad.
[1681.0s] Maybe we, you know, that was, I mean, good job, but we got him.
[1685.9s] But yeah, you've been out for like the last, I don't know, 10 or 15 minutes, right?
[1691.3s] Oh, geez.
[1692.6s] Yeah, well, it was the weirdest thing.
[1694.9s] Remember that picture in the journal that I showed you, Terry?
[1699.7s] Oh yeah, it's in my dreams.
[1702.5s] Well, we haven't been asleep since I showed you.
[1705.5s] Well, it's just, it's going to haunt my dreams.
[1707.7s] I just know it.
[1708.5s] Oh, okay.
[1709.0s] All right.
[1709.3s] So just more of a preemptive.
[1710.6s] You've seen it in your dreams.
[1711.8s] Got it.
[1713.2s] Yeah, it was weird because I cast the thing, the spell at Boots there.
[1719.1s] And then it was like Boots transformed into that thing with the face from the picture.
[1725.7s] I don't know.
[1726.2s] It was really weird.
[1727.3s] Are you, are you okay?
[1729.8s] I feel fine.
[1731.0s] Okay.
[1732.2s] So are you saying Boots is actually a scary monster?
[1734.7s] Uh, I don't know.
[1737.4s] Maybe?
[1737.8s] What kind of, what kind of monster?
[1739.8s] I'm not a scary monster.
[1741.0s] I know my rights.
[1741.8s] He came into my mind.
[1742.7s] That's enough, Boots.
[1743.9s] Should you shackle him or something?
[1745.7s] He's not moving very fast.
[1747.3s] You have to move fast to throw a bomb, just saying.
[1749.9s] Terry walks over and shackles Boots.
[1752.2s] So Boots, did you mess up Murloc's alchemy shop or?
[1757.8s] Yeah, I messed that, that, that old man's shop up.
[1761.4s] Why'd you do that?
[1762.5s] Well, I wanted his, I wanted his recipes for all his big explosions.
[1767.5s] You know how many noises and booms and bangs and whiz pops I hear coming from there?
[1771.9s] So you murdered him.
[1773.2s] Yeah, did you, did you mean to kill him?
[1774.9s] Murdered him?
[1776.2s] No!
[1777.4s] I used one of his recipes.
[1780.2s] Uh.
[1780.7s] And he's not there anymore.
[1782.1s] And we found a crispy fried robe.
[1783.8s] Crispy fried robe?
[1785.2s] Wow, that's pretty funny.
[1785.9s] And some pink glitter.
[1787.0s] Um, oh, well, did you hang on to the pink glitter?
[1793.4s] Yeah.
[1794.6s] I, yes?
[1797.1s] Okay.
[1797.5s] I'm reticent to tell you because you like to make bombs and I don't want you to throw
[1801.8s] a match at me or something, but.
[1803.8s] Why would, I'm trying to help you here.
[1806.7s] Are you?
[1807.1s] I'm, I'm a friend.
[1808.3s] What a fun turnaround from earlier.
[1810.2s] I'm a, I'm a friend of the justice system.
[1812.6s] Right, tell him, Terry.
[1817.0s] No.
[1817.7s] Most people on the watch list aren't, uh.
[1819.8s] Yeah, more of a customer?
[1821.8s] Maybe of the justice system than a friend?
[1824.8s] Antagonist too, said justice system?
[1827.5s] Someone who uses the justice system, uh, frequently, uh, is, if that's not a friend,
[1834.9s] what could you, what else could you describe it as?
[1836.6s] I didn't notice they give out frequent fly-a-miles for the justice system.
[1839.8s] Do they have a punch card?
[1841.2s] Yeah, is it like every seventh visit to the justice system is free?
[1845.1s] What's happening here?
[1846.2s] Terry, do we have a free visit to the justice system?
[1849.0s] No, you get fined every time.
[1851.1s] Okay, would somebody pass me my umbrella, please?
[1853.5s] Absolutely not.
[1855.8s] But maybe, maybe it's going to rain.
[1858.9s] Now, well, I think you'll be, yeah, I'm not, no one's going to hand you anything.
[1863.8s] So why did you kill Murlock?
[1866.2s] I didn't kill Murlock.
[1867.5s] I used one of his recipes.
[1868.8s] He said it was safe.
[1870.9s] Well, what was the intended effect?
[1873.2s] What did you want to do with that recipe?
[1876.0s] I mean, I wanted to kill him.
[1877.7s] Okay, so.
[1878.8s] But I didn't.
[1880.6s] Okay, but.
[1881.5s] He said it just, it makes a person into another substance.
[1890.1s] And I wanted to test it out.
[1891.5s] Another substance?
[1892.4s] And I thought, well, he would be able to just flip poop, you know, just make himself come back.
[1899.1s] Flip poop?
[1899.9s] I think more of a glip glop.
[1902.1s] Was there glip glop?
[1903.0s] I thought you said it was pink dust.
[1904.4s] Yeah, there was pink dust.
[1905.5s] Is that, are you saying the pink dust is?
[1909.0s] That could be Murlock.
[1910.6s] What do you mean could be?
[1912.5s] Well, he didn't give me the whole recipe.
[1915.4s] Do you have the partial recipe?
[1918.1s] Do you, did you get a book?
[1919.8s] We saw some, the pitter patter of little feet all over the bookshelf.
[1924.6s] Yeah, I did take a book.
[1925.8s] It was The Biggest Bangiest Explosions Under the Sun by Senor Big Bang.
[1933.4s] Interesting you left the 101 explosions you need to see before you die book.
[1937.4s] That was right next to it.
[1938.9s] I didn't see that one.
[1940.6s] Did you bring it with you?
[1941.9s] No, it's back at Murlock's shop.
[1945.0s] I mean, it's in custody.
[1947.1s] Yes, which is an active crime scene.
[1949.0s] It's in the murder scene.
[1952.0s] Also, you're not going to go around free.
[1954.0s] It just exploded a bunch of things and potentially even a guy.
[1958.2s] So, can you turn him back if this pink powder is really him?
[1964.6s] I'm not a wizard like Murlock.
[1966.2s] That pink powder you're carrying around is our good friend Murlock.
[1970.0s] I mean, he's probably, that's probably naked pink powder you're carrying around.
[1973.4s] Just putting that out there.
[1975.2s] If you left the charred up robe on the ground.
[1979.4s] No.
[1980.2s] So wait, your solution was to put the pink powder in the charred up road
[1983.7s] and then bring that?
[1984.8s] Well, if you didn't want naked pink powder.
[1986.6s] Hey, there's nothing wrong about being naked, what?
[1988.7s] That's right.
[1989.2s] No, it's fine.
[1989.8s] Are you a never nude?
[1992.0s] You know what, even if you are, it's none of my business.
[1993.8s] I'm just saying.
[1994.6s] There are dozens of them.
[1996.6s] We're, it's an affliction.
[1998.2s] Okay?
[1999.0s] Of course.
[2001.0s] I'm, I'm not, I'm not anyway.
[2003.2s] So look, okay, okay.
[2004.5s] You got me.
[2005.3s] How do we get him back?
[2006.9s] He probably has a book.
[2008.7s] Oh my God.
[2016.6s] I said burn.
[2018.7s] It's cold in here.
[2020.5s] There must be some middle in the atmosphere.
[2023.4s] I mean, delightful.
[2026.5s] That's good.
[2027.6s] I love it.
[2028.5s] No, no, nobody ever jumps in with me.
[2031.3s] So why would we jump in with you?
[2033.0s] Oh, no, no.
[2033.6s] Amy knows how it feels.
[2034.7s] Mine was better.
[2036.8s] Cause yours was better.
[2039.8s] Ouch.
[2040.3s] Jesus.
[2040.9s] You have no proof.
[2041.7s] I would say Amy's was more, like if I had jumped in, in the third word,
[2046.1s] I would have known where it was going.
[2047.6s] Sometimes with Russ.
[2048.7s] Right.
[2049.5s] You're not quite sure where it's going.
[2051.2s] You know what?
[2051.6s] That's what I like.
[2052.2s] The element of surprise.
[2053.3s] The genre might change part way through.
[2055.4s] You just don't know.
[2056.2s] It's always new and exciting.
[2058.5s] It's jazz, baby.
[2059.5s] It's all about the notes you don't play.
[2061.7s] That's what you do in here.
[2063.7s] Yeah.
[2065.0s] Always.
[2065.7s] Jazz in here in the middle.
[2067.1s] Yep.
[2067.5s] Welcome to the middle, everybody.
[2070.4s] We have a full story for you over on our Patreon.
[2074.1s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[2076.0s] And that story explains how.
[2081.0s] Slow Russ talks.
[2082.1s] Flamikins.
[2085.2s] Broke Grancis out of the abyss.
[2088.2s] Yeah.
[2088.3s] So if you're, if you're out there listening to our, you know,
[2091.1s] regular shenanigans and you're wondering.
[2093.4s] How'd that guy get back there?
[2095.4s] And where the fuck do Flamikins come from?
[2097.4s] Why is Grancis here?
[2098.6s] And you're a bit confused.
[2099.5s] Head on over to Patreon.
[2101.2s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[2103.3s] It's a two part exclusive adventure just for our patrons.
[2106.6s] And both parts are out now.
[2107.7s] That's right.
[2109.0s] You can hear them.
[2110.7s] Well, now that I say this out loud,
[2113.2s] it's probably not till Friday that you can hear them.
[2115.0s] But if you sign up now,
[2116.7s] you'll have time to listen to the first episode.
[2119.9s] For when it comes to preparation.
[2122.2s] You'll be the first one.
[2123.8s] Yeah, I know.
[2124.4s] I really set us up that they were both out right now.
[2127.2s] And then.
[2127.9s] That is the one talking point.
[2129.3s] It was.
[2130.4s] And my brain was like, no, you dumb dumb.
[2133.4s] That's not out till Friday when you actually finish it.
[2136.5s] Oh, that's okay.
[2137.8s] We kind of scrambled Russ's brain when we played that game
[2140.6s] because Tom, Carla and I were the DMs.
[2144.2s] So it was three against one and Russ had to talk to himself a lot.
[2147.6s] A lot.
[2149.3s] It was three against two.
[2150.6s] Okay, right.
[2151.7s] So there's a demon pineapple.
[2153.4s] So it's all coming together.
[2155.9s] That's right.
[2156.9s] Three DMs, Russ playing two characters and a demon pineapple.
[2161.0s] Yep.
[2161.8s] Where do they stick that pineapple?
[2163.4s] We'll find out if you go to Patreon and listen to part one.
[2166.5s] I think Grancis might after that episode have a tattoo somewhere on his body
[2171.6s] that just says be like the pineapple.
[2174.1s] Like a tramp stamp?
[2175.3s] Yeah, like be sweet on the inside and wear a crown.
[2178.5s] Like he's got that on his body somewhere.
[2181.3s] That and live, laugh, love.
[2182.9s] Yeah, oh, definitely.
[2184.4s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[2186.5s] We'd love to have you over there.
[2188.0s] And now.
[2189.1s] Spirit fingers.
[2193.0s] I mean, you could check the book that I said earlier.
[2197.1s] The biggest, bangiest booms.
[2199.3s] Bangiest booms.
[2200.7s] Okay, and that's just upstairs?
[2202.7s] Right in your big bang.
[2204.0s] Yep.
[2204.8s] Yeah, it's upstairs.
[2207.0s] Yeah, you all go upstairs and grab it and I'll wait down here for you.
[2210.5s] No, I think maybe just like one or two of us should go upstairs and everybody else
[2214.1s] stay down here with you.
[2215.4s] And definitely keep you away from the umbrella because that's so suspicious.
[2220.6s] I think that I'm going to go upstairs.
[2223.2s] And like investigate the stairs while we go there.
[2226.9s] Look, I've just I got it tapped into the the barometric pressure in this area
[2232.2s] and I know when it's going to rain.
[2234.9s] What the fuck does that mean?
[2236.3s] Two of you go upstairs.
[2237.4s] Who goes upstairs?
[2238.2s] I want to because I feel like I should have been up there anyway
[2241.3s] with the whole dumbwaiter disaster.
[2243.0s] Okay, I'll go upstairs as well.
[2244.8s] I got something to prove, barely.
[2247.0s] Moot and Sully, you go upstairs.
[2248.0s] Roll investigation as you go.
[2249.5s] I'm going to roll like different.
[2250.8s] Oh, no, no, no.
[2251.5s] You've already been upstairs.
[2252.3s] That doesn't make sense.
[2253.3s] I haven't been upstairs.
[2254.6s] Well, somebody went upstairs to get somebody would have gone upstairs.
[2260.2s] Events while Moot was out occurred.
[2263.4s] You go back upstairs.
[2264.3s] Yeah, there is a book kind of tossed into the corner there,
[2267.9s] which you grab and it is the biggest bangiest
[2270.9s] big bangs of senior senior big bang that book.
[2275.9s] And you grab it and you come back downstairs and he's
[2279.3s] Terry and Glim are cornering him to keep him away from the umbrella.
[2285.0s] I was picturing Glim just sitting on him.
[2287.1s] Perfect. Love it.
[2288.5s] Glim is sitting on him and Terry's holding the umbrella,
[2292.5s] kind of just looking at it.
[2294.2s] What do you do to the umbrella?
[2295.6s] Like does it explode?
[2298.0s] Terry, I feel like it's kind of it's just it's dangerous.
[2302.0s] We know it's dangerous.
[2303.3s] I don't know why you have to fool around with it.
[2305.7s] No, you're probably right.
[2307.3s] We should probably leave it here.
[2309.0s] Take it into custody.
[2311.4s] Yeah, I think maybe bring it with us very carefully.
[2314.7s] Yeah, that's I don't I don't think we should leave it
[2317.4s] in case anyone else comes here to this.
[2319.5s] Yeah, we should take it with us because it's going to rain.
[2322.4s] Is there anything else we find upstairs?
[2323.8s] I want to like I want to look around his place.
[2326.6s] He messed up the shop.
[2328.6s] I'm going to well, I'm not going to totally like turn over his place,
[2331.6s] but you know, yeah, you know, while you're upstairs,
[2334.2s] you do see like I got sticky fingers crumpled up a note pad
[2339.8s] like big pieces of paper and notepad.
[2342.4s] Same ones that I saw before thick black big pencil
[2347.1s] that looked like there's some with writing on them
[2350.6s] that say some say like you're the worst.
[2353.1s] Murlock, you think these are like ones that were like
[2356.7s] just they didn't make the cut didn't make the cut first.
[2360.9s] I'm rubber your glue.
[2362.5s] He's been going to Bard School and he hasn't quite
[2365.9s] got the vicious mockery down yet.
[2368.3s] Yeah, you see a lot of those again, confirming your suspicions.
[2372.6s] You do see more of the devices that have been flying at you
[2376.1s] and and exploding some of the like the wooden like the oblong wooden ones
[2380.2s] and the confetti bombs as well as some other of the
[2385.1s] more pipe bomb ones that were disabled.
[2388.1s] May like a few confetti bombs.
[2391.3s] All right, you want to take some confetti bomb to maybe some pipe bombs too.
[2395.2s] How many do you take?
[2396.7s] I'll take two of each to do they look.
[2400.1s] Oh, hold on.
[2400.5s] Do they look stable?
[2402.2s] The confetti bombs look pretty stable.
[2406.0s] The pipe bombs look pretty ramshackle.
[2409.0s] I'm going to just take the confetti bombs
[2411.8s] because I don't want to lose.
[2413.4s] I don't know my left cheek holding it in my in my satchel.
[2419.9s] Okay, a terrible way to lose your ass.
[2424.1s] Do you do that in secret or do you just take them?
[2426.5s] I just take them.
[2427.9s] You see Sully take two confetti bombs
[2430.3s] and that's all you really find upstairs.
[2432.4s] A small cot and that's that's about it though.
[2435.7s] You head back downstairs glimpsed sitting on
[2439.5s] and they're sorting glimpsed sitting on boots and they're sorting everything out.
[2444.2s] Nothing else that you really find in this place
[2447.2s] at least that stands out.
[2450.5s] He's still really drawn to the umbrellas.
[2452.7s] Well, you guys look over the book, I guess,
[2456.8s] and see if there's something in there and I want to take them back.
[2460.3s] Seems like he'd probably try and use this umbrella to do something.
[2463.0s] So I'll probably go, you know, book them.
[2465.4s] Or maybe take the umbrella in for evidence.
[2467.8s] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2469.3s] Here's some notes and I had gathered up some of the notes to show as evidence that
[2475.3s] I mean, he totally but he could change the story at any time.
[2478.3s] You can say I'm guilty and then be like, oh, never mind.
[2480.2s] He was under duress.
[2481.4s] So I brought the I brought the balled up notes with me and being like,
[2488.8s] check the handwriting.
[2490.3s] I'm like 100,000% sure it's him.
[2493.3s] Terry grabs the notes and pulls out one of the other notes that he took from the
[2497.7s] from the crime scene and compares them.
[2499.6s] It's well, the handwriting does appear to match up.
[2504.6s] Yeah, it does.
[2505.5s] You know, cut ahead, going back to the crime scene and you're flipping through
[2512.3s] the biggest bangiest book.
[2514.4s] And you do come across one that claims to turn it's turn anybody or anything
[2523.6s] into a powder doesn't specify a color, but it does specify a powder.
[2529.9s] It says that to reverse it, it gives you a recipe and you go downstairs and you
[2537.5s] manage to find all of the ingredients in order to mix it, though someone's
[2543.4s] going to need to roll Arcana in order to properly mix the remedy to this.
[2552.8s] I only have plus one.
[2555.0s] This is Moot's time to shine.
[2556.6s] I think I have.
[2558.1s] I have a no plus.
[2559.4s] It's not that great.
[2560.6s] And plus I've been rolling twos all night.
[2562.6s] Don't let me do this with my plus three.
[2565.5s] It's a 21.
[2568.9s] All right.
[2569.4s] Yes, sir.
[2570.4s] Yeah.
[2570.6s] Moot, you go down to the lab and clear yourself a space and set up.
[2574.9s] You've managed to find enough stuff that isn't broken.
[2577.2s] And would you say I was working in the lab late one night?
[2581.6s] It is getting late.
[2583.8s] And as you're doing that, everybody else upstairs or did you go down with Moot?
[2587.3s] Where is everybody else?
[2588.2s] Oh, I want to watch.
[2589.4s] I'm down with Moot.
[2590.3s] Yeah, I am so curious about Moot.
[2592.2s] Seeing Moot do some things that aren't writing in a notebook is just...
[2599.4s] I'm not going to tell you what's in this recipe.
[2602.5s] Get Moot to describe what's going on here.
[2605.4s] You can even just, you know, talk it through however you want to do it, Tom.
[2610.2s] The recipe is pretty easy to follow.
[2613.1s] There's a few steps that seem a little...
[2616.2s] There's a pinch of this and then a dash of that and then these two at the same time.
[2622.7s] But I think I'm doing...
[2623.7s] How do you guys feel?
[2624.5s] Do you think it's going okay?
[2626.3s] Ew, what's that brown stuff?
[2628.6s] I'm not really sure.
[2630.0s] It says ground newt.
[2636.6s] That purple stuff?
[2637.7s] It's a Sunny D.
[2639.0s] No, wait, that's not the purple stuff.
[2641.9s] Lavender.
[2643.4s] Lavender.
[2643.8s] Oh, that I like.
[2645.1s] That's stuff I like.
[2646.2s] Yeah, you put that in my pillow, I'm out.
[2648.3s] I think we're almost done here.
[2650.4s] It's starting to bubble quite a bit.
[2653.0s] Do you guys think that's normal?
[2655.7s] I mean, maybe.
[2657.0s] You should probably have the safety glasses on.
[2658.9s] I know you were teasing me about asking you to wear them,
[2662.2s] but it's probably a good idea.
[2663.4s] It's like bubbling.
[2664.1s] I think that's a good call.
[2665.1s] I think I'm going to put those right on.
[2668.2s] This is your world.
[2670.2s] I'm taking notes.
[2671.4s] Is this my world?
[2672.8s] I don't think I've really done much of this before.
[2675.8s] I do believe this is magic.
[2677.7s] The solution begins to like bubble over like a science fair
[2681.4s] thing with like foam and there's even some sparks
[2686.2s] inexplicably that start coming up out of this solution.
[2690.2s] Is that supposed to happen?
[2692.9s] I don't know.
[2693.7s] The recipe is not super clear on what's happening while you.
[2697.3s] I'll just mix the last thing in and then we'll just see what happens.
[2701.0s] Oh, yeah.
[2702.9s] Do you guys have a bring me back from the dead?
[2704.7s] I just want you to see what happens.
[2706.6s] You add the last ingredient, which is?
[2709.4s] We'll say it's golem dust.
[2711.8s] You add the golem dust, just a pinch, just on top.
[2715.4s] And as soon as you do it quickly, the bubbling and the sparks
[2721.0s] and the bit of smoke that's coming up stop and it shoots back down into this beaker
[2726.9s] and there's just this clear liquid pink in color.
[2730.7s] So here's my question.
[2733.6s] Do we pour this on to the pink glittery dust or do we put the dust into it?
[2741.5s] Like, how does how does that part of it work?
[2743.6s] What do you know?
[2744.2s] Is it wet into dry or dry into what does it say in the ingredient?
[2747.9s] This is just like a recipe, right?
[2749.9s] Do we make a little well in the center and then mix it from there?
[2754.5s] This is a terrible recipe is not super clear on how to execute it.
[2759.7s] And Sully just picks up the powder and pours it into the liquid.
[2764.6s] That happened right there.
[2766.0s] I mean, stir it, I don't know.
[2768.1s] Yeah, the powder into the liquid.
[2769.7s] Yeah, that's what you said.
[2770.7s] Yeah, I'll like swirl it around in the old beaker there.
[2773.8s] Powder goes into the all of the powder or just like a little bit of the powder?
[2778.3s] What's going on?
[2778.7s] I put all of it in.
[2781.3s] Okay.
[2781.7s] There was too much deliberating.
[2783.7s] Sully wanted action.
[2785.8s] Sully grabs the bag off of Glim's hip and begins to pour this powder all over this solution.
[2794.1s] And it begins to bubble and boil and you see a figure begin to take place,
[2799.8s] but not as not like cleanly like, you know, somebody appearing like with magic.
[2807.7s] There's mounds of flesh and bone and gristle.
[2813.8s] You see an eyeball at one point as all of this is trying to pull itself back together
[2819.3s] until this goes on for quite a while.
[2821.9s] There's this scream that comes through at one point.
[2826.2s] And it's the three of us.
[2827.4s] And then you look at each other and it's you three screaming as this figure is coming to
[2834.0s] back to life in front of your eyes.
[2836.3s] And there's this older man who's hunched over on the ground.
[2841.8s] Naked is the day he was born.
[2843.4s] And he looks up and he's just kind of shielding himself like he was almost frozen in time.
[2850.3s] And he looks up and he says, where did Boots go?
[2856.0s] Jail.
[2857.4s] Oh, that's where he's going to go.
[2860.3s] Who are you?
[2861.4s] The god's chosen three.
[2867.1s] No.
[2868.2s] That's that's.
[2869.0s] No.
[2869.5s] Join us on Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast to find out who the god's chosen three is.
[2875.6s] Destiny's Children, I think, is the name that you've been gifted.
[2879.0s] No.
[2879.4s] Okay.
[2880.6s] Is it?
[2881.1s] Yeah.
[2881.5s] I mean, that is what they've dubbed us on the Discord.
[2888.1s] Dents dubbed you that.
[2891.7s] I don't think they're ready for this jelly.
[2894.1s] Wait, we came here and saved you.
[2898.9s] Oh, thank you.
[2901.2s] Are you okay?
[2902.1s] I think I think so.
[2903.5s] Oh, here you go.
[2906.2s] Oh, yeah, of course.
[2909.0s] Not that nudity disgust.
[2910.7s] Oh, it makes me uncomfortable.
[2912.1s] I can join you if you if you were.
[2914.6s] No, it's a it's a modesty thing.
[2916.1s] It's all right.
[2916.6s] I'll just cover back up here.
[2918.2s] Thank you.
[2918.6s] Thank you very much.
[2920.2s] It appears that Boots had his way and got a recipe book.
[2927.4s] Did we get that back?
[2929.4s] Yeah.
[2929.7s] Yeah, I have it right over here.
[2931.3s] Great.
[2931.7s] Great.
[2931.9s] You need to really like make it a little more clear as to what's going to happen
[2937.0s] in the stages of the recipe.
[2939.3s] If you make it too clear, then too many people know exactly what happens.
[2943.2s] And you want to leave some confusion in the spell.
[2946.5s] It looks like whoever put this spell together did a wonderful bang up job.
[2950.2s] OK, yeah, but just for like examples like this,
[2954.2s] where someone is saving your life with your spell book,
[2958.1s] maybe you want to make it clear for them
[2960.0s] so that they understand exactly what's happening.
[2962.8s] I'll keep that in mind.
[2963.8s] Most people normally don't come down here.
[2965.2s] See, Boots was a random event, a random occurrence.
[2967.7s] He wanted to to blow everything up.
[2973.5s] We learned that about him.
[2974.6s] I've been using him in the past tense.
[2975.8s] You just said he went to jail, not that he himself has been blown up.
[2979.4s] Correct?
[2980.3s] Yes.
[2981.3s] Yeah, that's right.
[2982.7s] Yeah.
[2983.1s] Great.
[2983.5s] Perfect.
[2983.9s] Yep.
[2984.2s] No, that's good.
[2984.8s] So I won't use him in the past tense anymore.
[2986.2s] Boots wants to blow things up.
[2988.6s] And of course, being the foremost alchemist in this area,
[2992.5s] I have all of the books to do so.
[2998.4s] Speaking of blowing up things,
[3000.9s] your shop is not in great condition.
[3003.7s] I see just based on my lab here,
[3007.2s] I can only assume that the explosion that he used
[3010.6s] that perhaps rendered me catatonic.
[3015.2s] What state was I in?
[3017.0s] Powder.
[3018.2s] Yeah.
[3018.7s] Powder?
[3019.2s] Yeah.
[3019.4s] Oh, wow.
[3020.9s] How did it feel?
[3021.8s] Just question.
[3022.5s] To be powder?
[3023.8s] Yeah.
[3023.8s] It's kind of like a blanks.
[3026.7s] He kind of goes silent.
[3029.6s] It's grisly.
[3030.8s] Grisly.
[3032.2s] Kind of coarse.
[3034.0s] Well, fair enough.
[3034.8s] You were like a bunch of salt.
[3036.8s] Yep.
[3037.9s] Well, thank you.
[3040.8s] Thank you for doing so.
[3042.2s] If there's anything I can do for you.
[3048.8s] Well, I mean, always happy to learn a little bit of magic.
[3052.7s] He just stares at you for a moment.
[3055.1s] Sure.
[3055.4s] Why not?
[3055.9s] Yeah, you saved my life.
[3057.1s] I could teach you a little bit of magic.
[3058.3s] Absolutely.
[3058.7s] Why not?
[3059.4s] Why don't you come back tomorrow?
[3060.3s] I'll have this place all ship shape and we'll take a peruse through some books.
[3067.7s] That sounds like a plan.
[3068.7s] Also, one last question.
[3070.4s] Please.
[3071.2s] What's with the scary face dude in your notebook?
[3075.0s] Beg your pardon?
[3075.8s] The scary face dude in my notebook.
[3077.6s] Yeah.
[3078.3s] Yeah, there's a notebook here and I pull it out and I say, yeah,
[3082.0s] it kind of starts to get a little frantic at parts and then there's
[3087.7s] drawing of a scary faced man at the end of the book.
[3091.8s] As you pull it out, like he goes glassy eyed, not in panic, just kind of like freezes on the
[3097.7s] spot.
[3098.1s] Glim and Sully is near the same look that Moot had for the 15 minutes that you were in
[3105.6s] Boots place and he begins to what Moot didn't do but he begins to
[3112.9s] to speak or vocalize and moot.
[3117.5s] It's the same sounds that you began to hear.
[3127.0s] We cut outside Murlock's workshop where it gently begins raining and off in the
[3135.6s] distance there you can hear just the faintest
[3141.9s] and a large plume of smoke goes up near the jail.
[3146.4s] Terry opened up the umbrella, didn't he?
[3148.2s] Yeah.
[3148.5s] Oh, Terry.
[3150.4s] Just couldn't help himself.

[3268.3s] No worries.
[3269.4s] I was like, I don't know where you're going with this.
[3272.9s] Would you say I was working in the lab late one night?
[3276.8s] It is getting late.
[3278.6s] Okay.
[3279.4s] Yeah.
[3280.9s] And as you're doing that, everybody else.
[3283.0s] I punched the microphone.
