to recommend this to my friends, but we've had so many episodes, I don't know where 5 00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:22,440 to tell them to start, now is the best time to do that because they can come, 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,140 they can get to know us, they can get to love us, and then they can go back 7 00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:28,400 and listen to all the other amazing stuff that we have. 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,359 There are four of us as part of this show, there's me, my wife Amy More, and my two 9 00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:36,760 best friends, Carla Maxted and Tom Laird, you're gonna get to meet them very, very 10 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:37,760 shortly. 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,920 Before the show starts, we're gonna give you a couple ads, we are a Patreon-supported 12

00:04:51,959 Alright. 88 00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:58,959 Well, Alydin is a young female half-elf. 89 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:02,959 And she is pretty skinny and scrawny. 90 00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:04,959 She's a street kid. 91 00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:09,959 She's got short red hair, which she's cut herself, so it's patchy. 92 00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:10,959 It's patchy, man. 93 00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:16,959 She's got green eyes, pale skin, and is pretty beragged. 94 00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:19,959 Beraggled, beragged, raggedal, raggedy and. 95 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:22,959 She's a scrappy. 96 00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:23,959 She's a doll. 97 00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:26,959 She snaps as a sweetheart. 98 00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:27,959 And she's quick. 99 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:29,959 She is moving along. 100 00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:35,959 She knows these back streets and the alleyways like the back of her hand. 101 00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:41,959 So which is where she's got a scar of a bite mark where her best friend Tally bit her when she was younger. 102 00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:46,959 And clanging beside her is this. 103 00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:48,959 It is like. 104 00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:57,959 Like sand castle bucket type size of a pale that she's got a piece of leather strapped around its handle. 105 00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:01,959 And she's kind of wearing it like a like a purse side satchel. 106 00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:04,959 And it's what she carries a lot of her things in. 107 00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:17,959 So she's got the baguette tucked in there and then also up into her little vest to keep it from bouncing around as she is hurtling over garbage cans and puddles. 108 00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:19,959 You're running down in a way. 109 00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:22,959 The sound of the city guards are getting farther and farther. 110 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:33,960 You're looking over your shoulder just to make sure that you've in fact lost them before tucking down another alleyway that's going to lead you back home. 111 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:43,960 When as you round this corner you thud straight into the chest of a city guard who is very familiar to you. 112 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:58,960 You thud straight into the chest of Sergeant Dase and you look up and you see the gold gleaming armor in front of you and he is scowling down and reaches for the baguette. 113 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,960 I'm so fast. 114 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,960 So. 115 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,960 You gotta roll for this. 116 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,960 This is a
