1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,359
You're listening to Dumbgeons and Dragons and we'll start in just a moment.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:18,719
Kavlaran, you are sitting ever so patiently in a chair outside of Nina's office and you've been

3
00:00:18,719 --> 00:00:28,960
waiting here for quite some time for Nina to come back. Her receptionist is busy filling out

4
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,039
paperwork at her desk and she looks over to you and says, I swear she told me she was going to be

5
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:43,120
back in a moment, but that was several hours ago. Did you need a snack? Are you going to just?

6
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,880
A snack would be pretty good. I do have to come clean about something though.

7
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,880
I can't remember your name. I know I've been here all day and it's gotten past the point

8
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,640
of where it's like too awkward to ask, but I just, I need, I need to own up. I need to tell

9
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,760
you that. No, that's fine. I just, I've lost the plot on this one and I don't love the fact that

10
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,359
that's what happened, but that's what happened. I just, I just thank you for your time. Defense

11
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:16,159
rests. Well, thank you for admitting that and not just calling me. Hey, you like everybody

12
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:21,120
else does. I'm Gwenn de la Veer. Gwenn de la Veer. You know what? I should have remembered

13
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,880
that. That's my sister's name. Well, it is a very common, it was a very common name for about a year.

14
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,120
Everybody was named Gwenn de la Veer. It just rolls off the tongue. It just has this sweetness

15
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:39,040
to it. Ah, yes. But thank you for asking. I'm going to go get you a snack. I can go see what

16
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,360
they have down in the kitchen there. Maybe there's some nice pastries. Somebody, I heard

17
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,040
somebody maybe brought in some donuts. I'm going to go see about that. I mean, I do love a

18
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,400
pastry. That would be delightful. And she rounds the corner and you hear like a little, oh,

19
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,240
and then some whispers. She's got goose in the hall. She's going straight to HR. No donuts for

20
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,320
you. Sorry. And then two pairs of quick footsteps going back down the hallway

21
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,920
towards the kitchen. Nevermind no HR. This is like an office romance. Yeah. And Kav does

22
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:17,840
hear this, but he's still getting over the fact that he actually like owned up to not knowing

23
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,040
Gwenda la Veer's name and is like super proud of himself for like being an adult. So he doesn't

24
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,440
really pay that much attention to it. Like he hears it, but doesn't click for him as to like

25
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,960
what is it, what it is, say a moment of recognition. And then you go back to just

26
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,520
staring at the wall on the other side of the room. I go back and I'm like, it's

27
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Gwenda la Veer, Gwenda la Veer. Got to remember Gwenda la Veer.

28
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:35,920
Gwenda la Veer comes back into the room with a donut for you. And she says, I didn't know what

29
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:42,320
your favorite was. So I brought a couple. This one's like, oh, you want both of them.

30
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,800
Okay. Well, I mean, I don't have to have both of them, but like I don't really have a favorite.

31
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:54,400
They're all kind of my favorite. I got a Crueller and I got just this Long John

32
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,040
and it's got like this cream inside. I think they called it like an Eclair, something like

33
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,040
that. Thought you take your pick or you have them both. I can go get some more and no

34
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:11,199
problem. I saw Nina and she said she'd be here any moment now.

35
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,199
You saw Nina? Yeah. She was passing by the kitchen,

36
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:25,120
said she got swept away with a big meeting upstairs. And she'd be right down to see you.

37
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,480
I'm going to go back to the kitchen, get myself a donut because I should have brought

38
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:37,280
three. Foolish me. And she exits the room. Cav puts like one of the donuts on the desk

39
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,240
and like completely just inhales the other one. And then like not even a full minute

40
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,480
goes by and he like reaches back over for the second donut. After another few moments,

41
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,280
Oak walks into the room. There you are. You've been gone all day. What are you doing?

42
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:00,880
Well, I've been waiting for Nina, but apparently she had gone into her office earlier,

43
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,120
but then never came out. But then Gwenda LaVere ran into her in the hallway. Is there like a

44
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,280
second entrance to Nina's office that I don't know about? No. So then she probably wasn't

45
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:16,720
here at all then. She probably wasn't here at all. She probably just gave you the slip.

46
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,040
Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. Would you say that's like a characteristic of her personality,

47
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:30,720
like deceitful? Well, I mean, avoiding people happens a lot. The deceit factor, I mean,

48
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:38,800
I can't prove or deny if she has told me the truth when she is around in her office or not.

49
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,640
I just assume she's telling me the truth. All right. I mean, yeah, like, you know,

50
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:51,599
make someone prove you wrong, right? Yeah. Wait, what are you going to ask her? Like,

51
00:05:51,599 --> 00:05:57,759
why are you waiting for five hours? I mean, really, I just wanted to follow up on like the

52
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:05,360
finances. But I think that's why she's avoiding me. So maybe just go back and look at the

53
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,599
books. Is that a better follow the money, follow the paper trail? Sure. Yeah, we can

54
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,080
follow the books. I mean, we've checked the books time and time again, and they look fine.

55
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,520
I told you the books are perfect. I did them. I heard like a whisper of like a second set of

56
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:29,920
books. A second set of books. One that perhaps that would be fraud. Kavlaran. That would be

57
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:37,439
fraud. Yeah. And like probably a pretty good one. Wait, is that what you're here

58
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:42,319
investigating? I mean, I'm investigating a lot of things, but absolutely that's part of it.

59
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:49,920
You didn't tell me you were investigating fraud. Well, I mean, somebody walks by the

60
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,480
office and looks in with just raises an eyebrow and keeps going. You're gonna have

61
00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:00,720
to keep it down a little bit. Sorry. Sorry. It's okay. It's okay. Yeah, there's there was like

62
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,800
a few different things I was supposed to check out while I was here. That was just one of them.

63
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,839
Okay, so if Nina is being deceitful to you, what makes you think she's even gonna tell you?

64
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:21,839
Are you trying to catch her in a lie? Are you trying to? What's your game plan here?

65
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:27,040
Well, I had a cousin that was really good at like reading people, you know, like those cold

66
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:35,120
reads that like the charlatans do on innocent people. I had a cousin who like showed me how

67
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,600
to do that a little bit and I thought I could get something from her just by being in the same

68
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,759
rooms or asking her some questions, seeing the way she reacts, that sort of thing. Just take

69
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:54,720
some mental notes of like, what's up with Nina? What's up with Nina? Well,

70
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,680
I don't think she's gonna come back. No, it doesn't seem to be that way. Yeah, so

71
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:07,199
we could continue to wait here. He has sat down beside you at this point, not on a chair,

72
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:13,199
because there isn't another chair, but on like a little side table. He was just sitting up there

73
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:18,079
across his legs. He's not just doing a weird wall squat beside him. No, he has to kind of

74
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:22,560
hover because it's not going to be able to support his weight. So he's holding it, but

75
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,920
just barely. So we could go and we can come back. We could get you. I mean, clearly

76
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,360
you've got a little you've got a little cream on just like in your mustache there.

77
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:40,879
Yeah. Clearly you had some donuts. I mean, some is a little presumptuous. Yeah, I had to.

78
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:45,039
Yeah. If only there was something we could do to figure out this solution for you. I guess

79
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:49,440
I'll just go back to my office and not do anything nefarious. I mean, do you need company?

80
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,560
He gets up and he starts to leave. Well, I guess if you want to come, like, I don't know.

81
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:58,560
I mean, sitting here has been you're the one doing the investigating waste of time.

82
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:05,680
Is there any like storage rooms or anything where like old files are kept? Oh, yeah. Yeah,

83
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:10,560
of course there is. I haven't shown you the storage closet downstairs. Yeah, come on with me.

84
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:16,800
Yeah. So Kava totally has just like forgotten about the cabinet. And as he starts to follow

85
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:23,360
Oak down the hallway, he sees like an identical looking cabinet behind Gwenda Levere's desk.

86
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:32,159
And it like stops him dead in his tracks. Oh, what I just forgot Gwenda Levere said that Nina

87
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:37,759
was coming back. So maybe I should just stay a little longer because like if she does come back,

88
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:42,240
I'd hate to miss her. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah. Do you want somebody to just join somebody to

89
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,120
wait with you? Like I've finished all of our paperwork for the next three days. So I could

90
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,919
just go home or I could stay and hang out. I mean, Mom's probably going to be expecting

91
00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:58,480
me soon. It's getting close to clock out time and she expects me five minutes later.

92
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:04,399
So sure. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Well, OK. Yeah. You know what? Well, we'll catch up tomorrow

93
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,120
since like all that since all that paperwork's already done.

94
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,360
And I'll just wait here a little longer and then I'll probably call it a day as well.

95
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,560
All right. Well, it's good seeing you. I guess I'll just I'll go lock up the office.

96
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:23,200
I'll make sure all your stuff's ready to go in there. I'll put your lunch back in your bag.

97
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:29,600
And yeah, I guess that's it for me. Have a good night.

98
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,200
All right. Yeah, you too. I'll just. Yeah, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

99
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,520
OK, bye now goes back to the one chair and like sits down and just

100
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,960
waits a minute till everything's like calm and quiet and then goes and tries that door handle.

101
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:50,400
The door handle is unlocked. It's a little it's got a little stick to it, but the door opens

102
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,440
and then it bumps into the desk. Obviously. Yeah. Slip in and close

103
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,200
the door behind me as best I can here without making too much of a racket.

104
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,200
And beeline straight for that cabinet. Sure. And by beeline, you mean awkwardly

105
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,639
move around the large desk inside this very time. I was thinking actually more of a direct

106
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:17,600
like as the crow flies situation. So step onto a chair, onto the desk, off the desk.

107
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,919
Yeah. Yeah. Love it. OK, great. Are there any windows in this office?

108
00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:24,399
I can't remember. No, there are not.

109
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:31,199
There is a poster of a nice tropical beach set up on one of the walls, but no, no windows.

110
00:11:31,199 --> 00:11:33,600
Oh, I really hope there's an escape tunnel behind that poster.

111
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:37,200
And a new frame. Yeah.

112
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:40,960
Nina's been taking out one bit of drywall at a time.

113
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:49,519
Yeah, you go and you you're examining the cabinet and the two lower drawers are locked.

114
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:53,680
The top three, you're able to open them and file through them if you would like,

115
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:58,960
but the bottom two are locked and secured. Quick look through the top three.

116
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:05,759
Anything interesting in there at all? Mostly seems like personnel files and documents,

117
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,560
incident reports, that sort of thing. Nothing, nothing out of the ordinary,

118
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:13,759
just at a quick glance through them. Can I flip through Oak's personnel

119
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:15,200
file real quick? Sure, absolutely.

120
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,200
Just like I want to see like the one pager.

121
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:23,120
It just says Oak, stellar employee, five stars, not likely to get a raise ever,

122
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,159
overachiever and never pushes back, quite reliant on his mother.

123
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,840
Also, mother barred from City Hall. I need to know what happened with that.

124
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,080
I'll have to ask him next time we're out for boys night.

125
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,519
Yeah, makes a little mental note to ask Oak about mother being barred from City Hall.

126
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,799
And looks around. I would love to find like a key for these bottom drawers.

127
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,960
Any role investigation, any likely hiding spots that you might leave a key?

128
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,840
Let's see here. That is a 17, but my investigation is not great.

129
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,200
So it's a 15 overall. OK, you move through all of the

130
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,160
upper cabinets on this drawer. You move through all of the drawers

131
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:17,840
in the desk, lift the papers. It does not appear that you can find a key

132
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,240
that would fit this drawer. There are no keys in sight.

133
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,400
So leading you to believe perhaps that if there were a key, it would be on Nina's person.

134
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,640
Sure. I mean, do I just bust it open?

135
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,840
I don't feel like that's a great approach, but like desperate times.

136
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,120
No, it's not that desperate. I'm going to get out of the

137
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,000
office before anybody comes back to find me there.

138
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,960
OK, you climb back over and open the door and as you pull it shut behind you,

139
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,879
you hear footsteps coming back down the hall and Gwenda LaVere comes around the corner just as the

140
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:59,360
door latches. What do you do to act nonchAlydint as she comes around the corner?

141
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Actually, Cav just puts his hand up to his ear in the door and he's like,

142
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,639
I thought I heard someone in there, but.

143
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:09,360
Ah, you're still here. Hey.

144
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,480
Hey, Gwenda LaVere. I was just, I thought I heard someone in there, but

145
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,360
you said there was no any. Yeah, no, I don't know.

146
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,560
No. OK, well, I guess I haven't seen Nina come down.

147
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:27,360
She might have just forgot and just went home for the day.

148
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,879
That sometimes happens.

149
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:31,200
That does seem like something that might happen with her.

150
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,759
Yeah, very, you know, out of sight, out of mind.

151
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,159
Looking at the hook across the wall there, it seems she took her jacket.

152
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,399
So I guess she had no intentions of coming back.

153
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:45,840
That's unfortunate. I'm sorry that you've wasted your entire day here.

154
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,439
Oh, that's totally fine.

155
00:14:47,439 --> 00:14:50,399
It's totally fine. Not the not the first day I've wasted here at City Hall.

156
00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:53,759
Well, you have a great night.

157
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,439
Well, you too.

158
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,079
She goes and sits at her desk and is just organizing the papers for the night.

159
00:15:00,079 --> 00:15:06,159
And as you round the corner and head back down to get your stuff that Oak

160
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:10,079
has very neatly placed for you outside the door waiting for you.

161
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,360
I grab my stuff and on my way to the Brewed Awakening.

162
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,639
We'll be right back.

163
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,280
It's the middle of the city.

164
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,080
You know, I'm just getting a lot of welcome to the middle.

165
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:30,080
I'm not looking up Safety City.

166
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,720
No, we're we're doing the middle.

167
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,720
We're talking about tiny cars on tiny streets driven by children.

168
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,720
And what an awesome thing it is.

169
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,279
Alydin would have just a kickass time.

170
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:46,160
Alydin would be a nightmare.

171
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,920
A hundred percent like just going nuts.

172
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:51,759
So Safety City.

173
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:52,879
Get your kids to check it out.

174
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:53,680
Not a sponsor.

175
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,560
Unless Safety City, you want to sponsor this Dumbgeons and Dragons podcast.

176
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Is that a brand?

177
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,560
Are they branded tiny towns?

178
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,279
I think so.

179
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:03,680
I actually don't know.

180
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,000
All right.

181
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,600
If you want to give us a public service announcement that we can do for free,

182
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,639
we will do it for you.

183
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:10,240
We kind of just did.

184
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,040
We kind of just did.

185
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,920
That's right.

186
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,000
But what we do have going on is this is the second to last episode of this season,

187
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,680
which just to make sure you're aware, we're continuing with these characters.

188
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,399
It's like we're in campaign two, season one.

189
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:28,560
Whereas before it's like campaign one, season one and two,

190
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,480
and then season three is campaign two.

191
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,960
Like we should have not said this was season three.

192
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,800
Yeah, no, we definitely hindsight.

193
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,320
Maybe I'll tweak how it's presented in the whole thing.

194
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,920
But you know, we'll deal with that later.

195
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,800
But we're very excited because as we record this interlude,

196
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,120
we're starting recording the next season too later.

197
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,360
Well, look how far ahead we are, everybody.

198
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,800
We're not just scrambling to get things going like we usually do.

199
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,280
Killing it.

200
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:56,800
Loving it.

201
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,920
So summer's going to be a little bit of a break from regular episodes.

202
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,240
We are going to have some mini-sodes that we're getting ready to record as well

203
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,000
that we're going to just explore the city and the people in a...

204
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,560
Not going to say anything else because...

205
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:16,320
Don't put us in a box.

206
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,720
These can be whatever we want them to be.

207
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,759
Carla has a question.

208
00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:20,160
Yep.

209
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:20,640
I don't.

210
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,480
My light turned off, so I was turning it on.

211
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,680
It was on a motion activator and I was...

212
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,519
Teacher Amy just went into teacher mode and that's that.

213
00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:30,480
Hand up, have to call on it.

214
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,360
I see a hand up.

215
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,080
Oh, that's adorable.

216
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,600
Thank you for not shouting out, Carla.

217
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:43,519
Where you can get full episodes throughout the summer is over on Patreon.

218
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:45,200
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

219
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,360
So we've got the little mini-sodes in the main feed,

220
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,240
but we have the Adventures of which we just started

221
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,840
or will be just starting a new season over there,

222
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,200
which includes Opal, Ilya, and Night Hunter,

223
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,560
and Kyle's new character.

224
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,440
Kyle, do you want to introduce your character for the Adventures of?

225
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,400
Yeah, yeah.

226
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,360
My character's name is Nash Salmon Treats.

227
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:10,320
He is a Leonin barbarian rogue and I'm very, very excited

228
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,799
to have played him and to continue to play him.

229
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,840
I love that there's another barbarian on the team now.

230
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:16,559
Absolutely.

231
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:19,120
I hate that there's another cat on the team now.

232
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,440
I'm expecting it to be a source of conflict.

233
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,880
I don't think Night Hunter doesn't love it so much,

234
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,559
but Amy loves it.

235
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:30,000
It's not necessarily that he's a barbarian that Night Hunter doesn't like.

236
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,200
It's just the interactions haven't gone well so far.

237
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:35,839
Oh, it's fun, guys.

238
00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:36,640
You're going to like it.

239
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:37,680
Some people get along and some people don't.

240
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,559
Yeah, that's how it works.

241
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:39,200
Figure it out.

242
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,000
Yeah, we will.

243
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,559
It's going to be a blast and we hope to see you over there.

244
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:47,759
And when you are a patron, you get an episode dedicated to you.

245
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:51,599
Which Russ definitely didn't forget and definitely already has the name ready.

246
00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:53,359
Oh no, technical difficulties.

247
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,240
We should probably add it in, right?

248
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,119
It's just so cool he hasn't been able to say it yet

249
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,360
because we keep talking.

250
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:02,400
It's a real power.

251
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,760
We keep talking over him and he keeps going to put his hand up

252
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,520
and Amy will call on him.

253
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,400
I get on edgewise with these people.

254
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,000
That's how I run our marriage.

255
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,040
When he wants to talk, he raises his hand.

256
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,480
It's true.

257
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,080
Like today's patron, Stuttering GM.

258
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,800
Oh, Stuttering GM.

259
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,720
Oh, Stuttering GM.

260
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,080
I love it.

261
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,040
Thanks so much.

262
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,560
I think in any, like in our context, we think Game Master.

263
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,120
But I feel like in many contexts, people would be like,

264
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:41,920
so like the engine doesn't work that great in the automobile.

265
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,560
It's a very versatile name.

266
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,560
And I was thinking like General Manager.

267
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,800
General Motors, General Manager, could be any of them.

268
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,600
General Mills.

269
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Maybe they make cereal.

270
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,280
We don't know.

271
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,720
Oh my gosh.

272
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,320
Could be Gary McPhee.

273
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,280
We don't know.

274
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,680
Could be.

275
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560
Gary McPhee is a very specific name.

276
00:20:01,279 --> 00:20:02,000
All right.

277
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,120
Join us like Stuttering GM on Patreon.

278
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,960
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

279
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,240
And we hope to see you over there.

280
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,600
And now we'll get you back to the episode.

281
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:09,920
Okay.

282
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:10,240
Thanks.

283
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,480
Bye.

284
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,920
Cav, you make your way out of City Hall,

285
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,080
waving goodbye to the security guards for the night.

286
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,360
As you're making your way down to the Brewed Awakening,

287
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:23,200
it's rather busy there tonight.

288
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,519
And as you take a peek through the window,

289
00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:28,400
walking towards the front door,

290
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,319
you see all of your friends,

291
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:32,559
Bizard and Bonwyn and even Alydin

292
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:34,079
inside the Brewed Awakening.

293
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:35,920
Now is it like wing night

294
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,599
or what's going on in the Brewed Awakening

295
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:38,559
that everyone's there?

296
00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:41,839
Kyle, why is Bizard there?

297
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:43,759
Because this is his favorite night.

298
00:20:43,759 --> 00:20:46,240
Oh, I like the idea of wing night.

299
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,480
Sounds fucking good right now.

300
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,480
Yeah, I'd crush some wings right now.

301
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,519
Yeah, for reals.

302
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:52,240
I know.

303
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,200
Oh, wait.

304
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,200
So is there like maybe something fun

305
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,240
that goes along with that?

306
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,080
So like usually people watch sports on wing night,

307
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,440
like it's a game night or something.

308
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,360
Is it slam poetry time?

309
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,400
I was like, yes.

310
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,240
I had the image of like a cockfight,

311
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,559
but not a cockfight because that's brutal.

312
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,279
But people bring in their favorite chicken

313
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:19,759
and chickens don't like fly per se,

314
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:22,240
but they can flap quite a distance

315
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,039
and perhaps it's wing night

316
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:27,039
and they're seeing how far their chickens can fly.

317
00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:28,960
It's a chicken tossing contest.

318
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,799
And the losers get eaten.

319
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,120
Yes, I love it.

320
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:39,519
Oh no, this took a turn.

321
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,799
You're thinking of your chickens in the Bible, aren't you?

322
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:44,079
Although that's really kind of,

323
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:45,680
it doesn't make sense because you'd want to eat

324
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,120
the stronger wings, like, you know, bigger muscles.

325
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:50,640
It's like a lottery situation.

326
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,160
The winner is the one who dies.

327
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:53,920
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

328
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,400
There we go.

329
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,759
You don't want to do well.

330
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:58,319
You want to bring your least impressive chicken.

331
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:00,480
They need to build more muscles on those weaker ones.

332
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,799
Your least impressive chicken.

333
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,200
Has everyone brought their worst in the flock?

334
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:10,480
Let's see them flapping.

335
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,839
Give them chickens a toss.

336
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,920
We see you exiting City Hall

337
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,880
and then transition to The Brewed Awakening

338
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,359
where outside as you are about to open the door,

339
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:24,240
you hear screams and hollers coming from inside.

340
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,960
And as you open the door, feathers are flying,

341
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,200
like just a plume of feathers flies out

342
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,400
as you see chickens flying across The Brewed Awakening.

343
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,360
Everybody's cheering for these chickens as you enter

344
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,600
and you see, I mean, it's packed,

345
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,120
but you see your friends Bonwyn and Bizard

346
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,000
and Alydin is hanging out with them at the table

347
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,920
and they catch your eye and give you a call over.

348
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,759
Oh, hey guys, did I miss it already?

349
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,360
Just the first heat.

350
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:54,320
There'll be more.

351
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,200
Don't worry, don't worry.

352
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,920
Nice, nice.

353
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,320
Kavlaran, good to see you.

354
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,880
He puts down your usual drink, which is?

355
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,880
Some sort of oatmeal stout.

356
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:04,560
Solid.

357
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Yeah, yes, it's very filling.

358
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,279
It's good for you.

359
00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:08,400
I'll get you something to eat.

360
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,080
Oak told me you only had two doughnuts

361
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,240
while waiting for Nina at her office today.

362
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:12,880
Then he runs off.

363
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,560
I mean, who's talking about the dough?

364
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,480
All right, well, thanks, Bench.

365
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,519
All right, what did I miss?

366
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,759
How many doughnuts did you have?

367
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:20,400
Two.

368
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,440
For one person?

369
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,600
I mean, it was like two in two minutes.

370
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,640
Yeah, but you're like.

371
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,720
I mean, for doughnuts, that's a good round number.

372
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,759
That's kind of what I thought.

373
00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:28,560
And plus, like,

374
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,840
Alydin looks you up and is like,

375
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,080
two for a big person, I think is fine.

376
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,759
I mean, sure.

377
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:38,720
I just, next time I'll grab you one, Alydin.

378
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:39,220
Thanks.

379
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,720
Oh, I could buy my own doughnut now.

380
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,759
And she looks over to Bizard.

381
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,039
Like, uh-huh.

382
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:50,080
It's true.

383
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:50,560
You can.

384
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,120
I'm a paid employee.

385
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,759
Wow, that's very good.

386
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:56,720
Congratulations.

387
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,880
Thank you.

388
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,240
To be honest with you, Kavlaran,

389
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,000
it's under the table, so.

390
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,440
Oh, well.

391
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,840
Bizard's going to buy me my first beer.

392
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,840
Eventually, yes.

393
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,960
Yeah, maybe not tonight.

394
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,240
Probably not tonight, but at some point.

395
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,400
So what do you, what's your job entail?

396
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,920
Well, I take things out of boxes and then I put them

397
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,040
in the right places, not in the wrong places.

398
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,960
Because if you put it in the wrong places,

399
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,920
people get confused because I don't know if you know this

400
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,560
or if you've like been in a store a whole lot,

401
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800
but people aren't very smart.

402
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,080
And like they need you to not only have it

403
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,920
where it is all the time,

404
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,000
but you need to also have like the name on it.

405
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:47,759
And then they still will come to you and ask you where it is.

406
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:51,039
So like, I mean, I make, you know,

407
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:53,680
the place couldn't even run without me.

408
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,079
I mean, yeah, I believe that because anytime I'm in a store,

409
00:24:58,079 --> 00:25:00,160
if something's moved from the last time I was there,

410
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:00,799
I'm lost.

411
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:02,240
So you're doing a great service.

412
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,799
God, I hope I don't grow up like a regular adult.

413
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,160
I don't think you have to worry about that, Alevin.

414
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,599
Probably no chance of that.

415
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:12,480
Yeah, I wouldn't worry.

416
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:14,000
Yeah.

417
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,360
So about that beer.

418
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:18,319
Bench comes back and puts down this huge plate of stew

419
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:21,120
in front of you and then brings the table,

420
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,279
the wings that you had previously ordered

421
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:24,960
and a pound of all of the flavours

422
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,480
that are being served tonight.

423
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,519
And there's a little flag on top that just says,

424
00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:31,279
Henrietta, fourth place.

425
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,759
Yeah, here you go.

426
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:36,960
You eat up all day just to do not enough

427
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,400
to keep that big boy strong.

428
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,200
Okay, I'm going to go check out all these customers over here.

429
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,600
I mean, if anyone would know, it's that guy, right?

430
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,559
He starts digging into the chicken,

431
00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:50,559
but takes a half sec and after he grabs a wing,

432
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:52,080
kind of looks over to Bonwyn and says,

433
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:56,080
do you still have those thieves' tools by chance?

434
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,080
Unofficially, yes.

435
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,200
This is like Bonwyn and her friend,

436
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,600
Cav Lauren talking now, right?

437
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,080
Yeah.

438
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,759
Oh yeah, then I definitely do.

439
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:08,319
Okay, cool.

440
00:26:08,879 --> 00:26:10,319
If like hypothetically,

441
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,399
I wanted to get into like a locked drawer,

442
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:15,200
maybe you could show me how to do that?

443
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,399
Well, I don't know if I could show you,

444
00:26:16,399 --> 00:26:17,679
but I could probably do it.

445
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,439
Oh, I mean, that would also work.

446
00:26:21,439 --> 00:26:23,519
What is in the locked drawer?

447
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:24,399
Great question.

448
00:26:24,399 --> 00:26:24,879
Don't know.

449
00:26:24,879 --> 00:26:25,839
That's what I want to find out.

450
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:28,399
What are you hoping is in the locked drawer?

451
00:26:28,399 --> 00:26:28,639
All right.

452
00:26:28,639 --> 00:26:30,319
Well, first off, there's two locked drawers.

453
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:31,279
Okay, great.

454
00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:34,879
Probably some doors between us and the drawers.

455
00:26:34,879 --> 00:26:36,480
There's some doors between the drawers.

456
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,200
Absolutely.

457
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,000
Okay, perfect.

458
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:43,200
I'm hoping there's a like second set of books,

459
00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:46,160
like the real books.

460
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720
Right, the real books,

461
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,240
like Rin Kipp was talking about,

462
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,480
like the actual books.

463
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,039
Yeah.

464
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:54,400
Okay, so I'm assuming-

465
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,279
The uncooked variety.

466
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:57,120
Yeah, yeah, the raw books.

467
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:58,080
The raw books.

468
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,680
So if we're looking for the books,

469
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,080
this is going to be some municipal crime,

470
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,559
like in a municipal office.

471
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:07,440
That's probably where we're heading.

472
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,679
Some sort of hall in the city.

473
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:12,000
Okay, yes.

474
00:27:12,879 --> 00:27:15,359
When are you hoping this is going to happen?

475
00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:18,559
I mean, sooner rather than later tonight,

476
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:19,759
maybe if possible,

477
00:27:19,759 --> 00:27:21,440
but like also it is wing night

478
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,919
and I don't want to like take away from the festivities.

479
00:27:23,919 --> 00:27:26,720
Well, we'll get all our sustenance in maybe

480
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,319
and then we can go check it out.

481
00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:29,599
Chicken flies across the table.

482
00:27:30,879 --> 00:27:31,919
While this is happening,

483
00:27:32,639 --> 00:27:34,639
I pull on Bazaar's cloak

484
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,640
and I like gesture them to lean down a little bit

485
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,960
and as they're having their conversation.

486
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,720
Do they know that they can just get books

487
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,200
from like stores and stuff

488
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,880
and that they probably shouldn't cook them

489
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,840
because it's paper?

490
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,160
That will be another lesson that we will cover.

491
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,920
In fact, you may learn about it tonight

492
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:01,759
depending on how things go,

493
00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:06,079
but I don't even know where to begin with this one,

494
00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:08,400
but you are correct in what you are saying.

495
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,839
That sounds logical to me,

496
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,839
but there's a lot of things

497
00:28:11,839 --> 00:28:14,240
that you got to read between the lines in those books.

498
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:16,960
Shit, I think I'm just confusing it.

499
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,440
I didn't go to school, Bazaar.

500
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,079
Well, school is fun,

501
00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:26,319
but sometimes it's expensive to learn things

502
00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:28,879
and when you can just learn them from people

503
00:28:28,879 --> 00:28:30,559
that you happen to be around

504
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:31,599
and that's what we're doing here.

505
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,440
You don't know what they're talking about.

506
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,440
Kavlarne is going to teach me how to cook books?

507
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,040
I don't think it's going to be a teaching thing

508
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,240
as much as it is going to be

509
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,920
just a learning opportunity

510
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,040
through observation and experience.

511
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:56,160
I'm going to observe Bonwyn stealing raw books.

512
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,400
That's to be seen,

513
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,240
but that's the goal, it sounds like.

514
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:01,920
Oh, can I come?

515
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,880
Well, I mean, if we're invited,

516
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,519
I mean, if it is at a hall in the city

517
00:29:07,519 --> 00:29:10,079
as I kind of look over at them with a glare,

518
00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:13,359
like pretty obvious, but you know.

519
00:29:13,359 --> 00:29:15,680
Really sneaky, really sneaky language

520
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,359
between me and Kav over here.

521
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:19,440
But, you know, if there's, you know,

522
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,599
I know Kavlarne's been doing some work up there,

523
00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:24,319
but if there's more credence needed

524
00:29:24,319 --> 00:29:25,920
to be given to a visit,

525
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,120
then who better than a mayor's advisor?

526
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,400
Do you have an office, Kavlarne?

527
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,120
Can I see it?

528
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,480
I've never been inside of town hall before.

529
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,160
Like, maybe could I have a tour?

530
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,520
I could probably arrange for a tour.

531
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,000
I share an office, so it's not my office,

532
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,360
but you remember.

533
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,400
Like bunk beds.

534
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,120
Yeah, you remember.

535
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,240
Once I stacked a crate on top of another crate

536
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,440
and then Tally slept under that first crate inside

537
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,640
and then I slept on the top.

538
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:54,960
You know what?

539
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,560
That's very creative.

540
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,040
Thank you.

541
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,000
So can I see your office bunk beds?

542
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,200
Well, there's no beds,

543
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:03,839
but in fact there's only just the one desk.

544
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:05,839
But we make it work.

545
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:07,519
You know, he's really good at the...

546
00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:09,200
Anyway, doesn't matter.

547
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,440
Yes, we'll go and we'll get a tour.

548
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,480
I wonder if Nina's good friend,

549
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,240
Bazaard, couldn't maybe wrangle her

550
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,039
as a high-ranking sort of official

551
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:26,879
into giving a personalized tour

552
00:30:26,879 --> 00:30:30,559
to his promising new apprentice, student,

553
00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:32,799
however you want to spin that and just...

554
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:33,599
Protégé.

555
00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:34,639
I think that's what, right?

556
00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:37,440
Protégé, absolutely.

557
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,519
That's a very big word for somebody

558
00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:40,559
who didn't go to school.

559
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:41,920
Did I say that word?

560
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,119
I don't know how to spell it.

561
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,399
Did I say that?

562
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,599
Maybe I did.

563
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,559
As far as asking Nina goes,

564
00:30:51,119 --> 00:30:52,319
I certainly could ask Nina.

565
00:30:52,319 --> 00:30:56,480
I mean, I wouldn't say that we're like friends.

566
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,240
I mean, we work together

567
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:02,720
and that's about as far as that relationship goes.

568
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,519
I feel like it might not even be that close.

569
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:10,159
Does she have the rob-ups?

570
00:31:10,159 --> 00:31:11,279
You're getting closer.

571
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:12,399
You're getting really close.

572
00:31:13,599 --> 00:31:15,039
Maybe you don't want her there

573
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:17,279
if you're going to take her things.

574
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,799
I never take ever,

575
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:22,079
but if I were going to,

576
00:31:22,879 --> 00:31:24,720
it wouldn't be when that person was there,

577
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,399
which I wouldn't.

578
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:28,639
Yeah, hypothetically,

579
00:31:28,639 --> 00:31:29,919
it would not make any sense

580
00:31:29,919 --> 00:31:32,079
to take something from someone when they're there.

581
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,639
But would it be the perfect opportunity?

582
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:40,240
Well, what if that person was there

583
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:42,720
without being there

584
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,399
and it just looked like them?

585
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:46,879
Okay, say more.

586
00:31:46,879 --> 00:31:48,480
I'm going to need to hear more about this.

587
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:50,799
Bizarre pulls out his tome

588
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:52,079
and he starts flipping through it

589
00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:52,799
and he's like,

590
00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:53,759
this page right here.

591
00:31:54,319 --> 00:31:58,319
I could make myself look like Nina.

592
00:31:58,319 --> 00:31:58,819
What?

593
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,920
I've seen Nina.

594
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,759
She's half your size.

595
00:32:03,759 --> 00:32:04,259
She's...

596
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,120
You know, there's some adjustment

597
00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:10,799
that's allowed within the confines of the spell,

598
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:13,920
but I think it could potentially work.

599
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,920
And, you know,

600
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,800
it would give us a lot of ammo against the mayor

601
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,400
and against, you know,

602
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,120
most of the rest of the group

603
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,320
that's involved with their ne'er-do-willing

604
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,120
against the city.

605
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:30,800
It's a gamble, though.

606
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,200
Caviar, the expert.

607
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,080
Would it be helpful to have someone...

608
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,960
You're blowing my mind, Bizarre.

609
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,080
But they could look like someone

610
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,440
where we were trying to find the books.

611
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,120
That seems like that would be amazing, right?

612
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,559
Yeah, I mean, it really could be.

613
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,799
Now, when you say look like,

614
00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:54,720
does that also include sound like?

615
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,039
Reading over the text real quick,

616
00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:02,320
because it's not something I've really thought about using,

617
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,039
but it's one I could certainly be prepared to use.

618
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,279
What does she sound like?

619
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:10,160
Does she sound different?

620
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,920
Would he just have to talk a little higher?

621
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:21,440
Well, I mean, not as comical, I guess, as that,

622
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,800
but, you know, just...

623
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Could you sound like her if the need arose?

624
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,279
Or could you convincingly pretend

625
00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:33,840
you had a really sore throat and just couldn't talk?

626
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,800
Now, that I think I could do.

627
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,240
Yeah, that I think I could do.

628
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,480
As far as I can see,

629
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:44,480
the, you know, clothing, armor, weapons, those kind of things.

630
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,400
Yeah, I can make myself at least a foot shorter or taller, so...

631
00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:52,960
I mean, definitely shorter in this case.

632
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,599
I would have to fake a voice.

633
00:33:55,599 --> 00:33:56,799
And if anybody were to...

634
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,960
I don't know, I can't touch anybody that doesn't know,

635
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,319
because otherwise then it's like,

636
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:05,440
ha ha, obviously you're not that short.

637
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,680
So there's a lot of potential holes in it,

638
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,200
not to mention it is a...

639
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:13,200
Yeah, it's not the most taxing illusion,

640
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:18,639
but, you know, still have to expend the life essence for it.

641
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:20,159
Sure, gotta pay the tax, yeah.

642
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:21,119
Yeah, exactly.

643
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:23,440
Very, very appropriate, Kavlar.

644
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,200
We got a lot of wings to eat still,

645
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,559
so let's just keep discussing.

646
00:34:26,559 --> 00:34:28,400
I'm sure we can hammer something out.

647
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,760
Oh, yeah, absolutely.

648
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,800
Snarf, snarf, snarf.

649
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,720
You're gonna have boobs.

some mini episodes for the main feed

681
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,600
that you're listening to this in.

682
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,440
But we also have entire shows over on Patreon

683
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,840
that we would love for you to come listen to

684
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,320
while we get season four ready.

685
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,680
And again, that's still this is a campaign two,

686
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,320
second season of that campaign.

687
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,160
We're continuing where we leave off, okay?

688
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,280
That's what's happening.

689
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,880
Patreon.com slash dumbdraggingcast.

690
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,440
See you over there.

691
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:05,920
Okay, bye.

692
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:11,600
Okay, cool.

693
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:12,720
A G-name.

694
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:13,440
Interesting.

695
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,800
What a strange, what a strange new ground to be breaking.

696
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,560
You know what?

697
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,280
Sometimes you just have to take the path least taken.

698
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,680
Is it Tom or is it Kavlarin

699
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,600
that doesn't remember the locked cabinet

700
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:30,480
in Nina's office?

701
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,400
Oh, I did not remember it at all.

702
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,800
Now that you mentioned it, I remember it,

703
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,400
but it was not coming to me.

704
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,200
Yeah, fair enough.

705
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:39,920
No, absolutely.

706
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,200
I remember spying it and everything.

707
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,639
How do I get Tom to break into this office

708
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:46,800
without saying Tom break into this office?

709
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,000
This season seems like it's just going to end in crime.

710
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:50,800
All around crime.

711
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,079
Yeah, it's ending in crime 100%.

712
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:54,240
Everyone's going to do a crime.

713
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:58,160
Except Alydin, who's been doing crime to survive.

714
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,840
The fact that I'm not doing crime right now,

715
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,400
I'm on the up and up getting paid and then crying shit.

716
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,400
Amy not doing crime is almost a crime in and of itself.

717
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,039
Agreed.

718
00:37:11,039 --> 00:37:12,000
I know, right?

719
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,039
When am I the good one?

720
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,320
