Dumbgeons and Dragons begins in one moment, we swear.
We hear the sound of hammering and busy work happening down in the docks.
And Bizard and Alydin and Bonwyn are at those buns dough and getting a morning
coffee. And it's been a been a little bit since you've seen each other.
And Bizard has some interesting information that he is imparting upon you
from his recent adventures with Kavlaran, who's notably missing at this moment.
So what's the deal? You just aren't going to help rebuild?
Like we've been here.
Alydin's been here swinging a hammer.
Like we've been rebuilding four times and she holds a hand up and she's
like fully like all bandaged up.
But learning experiences each and every blow, each and every blow is a
learning experience.
But like, dude, you and Kavlaran just like boys weekend or what happened?
We're expecting to see you.
Well, actually, the mayor and Edna pulled us in to the offices, which was
very, very nerve wracking.
But it's not what you think.
Instead, they had us go with these monster hunters, I mean, Pinnance,
Olive Tree and Bond and Love and go to where the monsters were.
So you remember, like the old mine shaft thing?
Yes, the old mines.
We actually went further down into them, made our way down there and
discovered the source of these monsters.
Tried to take out one, but I tried to take notes on it.
It's like a nest or like a den?
Well, probably somewhere, but it's on the other side of some kind of
portal that's now no longer there or we caved it in.
OK. I was taking notes and then all of a sudden I had to run.
So. But good news.
Portal brings monsters portal gone.
We all lived happily ever after in our newly rebuilt town.
How do you cave in a portal?
I'd like to know, too.
Uh, man, it was such a blur.
I believe we just attacked the the people were attacking
stalactites, trying to use them as weapons.
And that kind of just started a chain reaction.
You know, next thing you know, the rocks come a tumbling down.
So the rocks came down on top of it.
But then they didn't fall through it and into the where the other side
of the portal is.
Well, it was it was it wasn't a wasn't a horizontal.
It was a vertical like a doorway.
It looked like this.
And I pull out my my little notebook that I was like sketching of.
It's like it looked like this.
So like covered up the door.
Exactly. With with a lot of heavy rocks.
And I know they're strong, but hopefully not that strong.
I feel like it's a bandaid when we needed like sutures.
I don't know if they have the engineering skills,
those particular creatures to maybe figure that out.
The excavation, not to be a downer.
Who knows what else is on the other side of that portal, though.
That's a very, very good point.
And I mean, what are they going to do? Shout at the rocks.
They probably would.
But yeah, I really would love to like maybe do some research.
I know sometimes portals, the color of it sometimes
correlate to the destination.
Was it some situations?
Um, so the color of it was kind of
indigo in a way.
You know, hints of blue purple is kind of very amorphous
as far as the color spectrum goes there.
But but yeah, no, seem to be the source of it.
So hopefully there's no other portals.
God knows why that one was specifically there.
Can portals just show up like wherever they want to?
Does someone need to put it there?
Do we need to find the person who put the portal there?
Is somebody sending monsters?

Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Patreon supported podcast.
And you can join us today at patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
There's a seven day free trial and a whole bunch of episodes
for you to listen to.
We hope to see you over there.
And now fuck it. Let's play.
Bizarre, we're at your your home above the magic closet.
You and Kavlaran have been putting off your trip to Kingstown
basically as long as you can,
while the docks are getting fixed and while traders
are starting to come back into town.
You're getting close to thinking that this is a prime opportunity to go
and you're taking a moment and just getting some things together.
Are you an overpacker, a light packer?
How many pairs of underwear is Bizarre packing?
How many days are you going for and how many pairs of underwear?
I'm only going to take a couple of pairs of underwear,
because if Kavlaran and mine's plan are going to go through,
we're going to go to a chest of drawers.
You're going to get like 30 new pairs of underwear.
Buy some new fancy underwears.
So we'll be good on that.
I'll pack two, two plus one in case, you know,
accidents happen, in case you shit yourself every day for the first three days.
Yeah, I never know.
So, yeah, you know, fairly light packer overall.
I need my spell book.
You know, I need I always got to have some parchment and pen on me, some ink.
So you're going back to your alma mater.
Do you have like 19 capes with you or?
Oh, no, no, I'm not going to wear the official regalia on a trip.
I brought it with me, but that's not traveling, traveling gear.
You are tossing things into a satchel
and you hear the bell chime downstairs,
which you don't rush to because, you know, Alydin's down there.
We cut downstairs to Alydin and you are busy stocking shelves,
getting getting things put away and
some heavy footsteps come in to the magic closet.
You turn and you see a tall, thin man in a
a long, very floral colored cloak.
He has very slicked back hair and a
a well quaffed goatee, and he walks up to the desk
and is looking around and kind of over the desk and seeing.
It's appears he hasn't noticed you rings a bell on the desk
and is kind of checking checking his pocket watch
and is waiting for someone to come to the front.
Hi. Oh, oh, oh, oh, hello.
Do you work here?
No, don't tell anybody.
And then I pretend to put the things that I was putting on the shelf, like in my.
Ah, OK, OK, of course, of course.
Just kidding. Totally kidding.
What can I help you with?
Oh, well, I came to see the proprietor of this fine establishment.
But it appears that he's he's not here.
Well, what can what are you to what are you going to be?
What would you like him for?
Well, I have some I come I come through town every now and again.
Bizarre knows me very well, but I've come to sell some of my wares to him.
I've got new tricks for him to put out and sell to the kids.
Can I see? Oh, of course.
He opens his cloak and pulls out this fabric wrapped item
and he begins to unroll it on the desk.
And it is a long cylinder that he has inside of there,
which is metal, and it has holes all through it.
And he puts it down and smiles and says, ah,
ah, ah, yes, yes, you see, you see the value in this.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. What is it?
Oh, well, it's a it's a it's a some of the kids call them boomsticks.
So like like an explosive.
Oh, a feigned explosion.
More than anything, more of a crackler really just sets
sets things alive at a party.
See, you pick it up here. He hands it to you.
Do you take it? No. Oh, sorry.
I once almost blew my fingers off.
If you wouldn't mind showing me how to how to do it.
Oh, what's your name?
Alydin. And you are? I'm William.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, William.
So all you do here is you twist the ends,
clicks into place, and then there's one final snap
and then lights begin to shoot out of all of the holes,
different colors, and they spin around the room wildly.
And you just place it here.
And after a few moments, it begins to crackle
and you hear this like the fizzle inside of it.
And then sparks begin to come out of it.
Don't worry, it's completely safe.
Nothing in wooden is going to be set a set of blaze.
OK, good, because I don't know if you know what our town just went through,
but everything was just a blaze.
It seems like think what happened.
Do tell, do tell. Monsters.
Oh. So how long does this go on for?
Oh, it goes on indefinitely.
And he turns it off and wraps it back up and says,
do you have a say over what stock goes into this establishment?
Well, I am a very close confidant of
Mr. Bizard, and
yeah, I do think that my he my opinion is very high.
Um, to him.
So I could put you down for 50 then.
That's the usual order.
Let's just hold on a second here.
I could fill up the paperwork.
No. Oh, they hardly, hardly anything.
Half a silver each.
Hmm. Can I see it?
Of course, he pulls back out of his cloak, unravels it
and places it down on the table for you.
Does each one come individually wrapped?
Of course. Only the finest.
How is it powered?
And I pick it up and I start to like
inspect it.
Oh, well, it's it's magic, my dear.
Don't patronize me.
A.B. Spanx.
Best dirty look.
And I'm not your dear.
Hmm.
Oh, I'm very sorry.
It did not mean to offend.
No, no, no, it's fine. It's fine.
I know people think that I'm a lot younger than there is
an enchantment placed upon it that when activated
puts the runes, as you can see, he points.
And this is there's runes all along the top and bottom.
Lines them up so that they are in position,
which activates the device.
Okay. Okay.
May I take this just to the back for a quick moment
to confer with Bizard?
Oh, oh, of course.
He's here.
Yes?
Maybe.
Okay.
I will wait here for you to come back then.
I hope it goes well.
Please don't steal anything while I'm gone.
Wouldn't dream of it.
Hard to get business if you steal from the people
that you're trying to sell your things to, right?
Yeah, but wouldn't it really be the best business
because you'd be selling them back
the stuff you stole from them?
Don't do that.
I wouldn't do it.
All right.
Up the stairs.
Knock, knock.
Open the door up.
Alydin, I hear we have some business downstairs.
What's that?
This is a light sparkler whiz banger.
Banger?
No, that's copywritten.
No, I mean, you know,
if that describes what it does,
I mean, it's a fairly mundane name, I think overall.
Boomstick, that's what he called it.
Oh.
You know William?
That's fun.
He?
William, William.
I've met Williams in the past.
He's dressed in the color floral
because that's what I was told.
He's dressed in floral colors.
Oh.
I wrote it down.
He wants half a silver each for these.
They do come individually wrapped.
It is pretty.
Wait, he's trying to sell them to us?
Was this guy's hair slicked back?
Did he give you a last name?
No.
I wonder if it's William Vanderhoof.
Should I not have left him downstairs?
I told him not to steal.
If it's the guy I'm thinking of, it should be fine.
Well, you've got enchantments on the place anyway.
People can't take things out without exchanging money.
Oh yeah, it's just,
I haven't had anybody come by to sell things.
Typically, as you know, I make them all myself.
That way I can guarantee the quality of the product.
I don't know if I'm opposed to it or not yet.
So I tell you what, let's go talk to this William.
See if I actually do know them or not,
or if they are just lying to you
since they have the opportunity to do so.
Very, I didn't like the cut of this guy's jib.
Let me tell you, because he talked down to me
and I didn't like it.
If you could maybe just pretend
like I am like a really close confidant
and you don't make any decisions
without talking to me first, that'd be really great.
I think I could manage that.
I don't want to undercut you or anything like you are
while you're an employee.
I also don't have any qualms
with you being a business associate.
You are in touch with the youth of this town,
so I would expect you to know better
what they may enjoy.
So I have some new things
that I may want you to hand out to them,
see if they really, see if they like them or not.
We'll get to that after we talk to this William though.
Lead the way, boss.
Oh, she puffs up her chest, so she's so excited.
You head back downstairs into the store
and you get down there
and you immediately do not see anybody in the room.
Hey, it's here, I promise.
Oh, I believe you, because I didn't make this.
Hey, did you know?
Unless.
Magic makes this thing work.
Alydin gives you a stare.
I'm going to observe it
and I'm going to check it
for any kind of like archonic runes
or anything that I would do to my magic devices
that would tell me if that's true or not.
Yeah, make an arcana roll.
Beautiful.
Bizarre does not have his coffee, that's a nine.
You give it a quick look over.
It does have runes
around the top and bottom of the device.
As you spin them back and forth,
it seems to activate the device
once they get to a certain position.
And then once you break that sequence,
it turns off the device.
As you go up to the register, to the front desk,
you see there is a package set down on the desk
with a sealed envelope on top.
Is there a specific seal?
Like is it a wax seal or any kind of?
You turn it over and there is a wax seal on it.
It has an inscription or an insignia
that looks like a magic wand
with a flourish of sparkles coming out of the end.
Do I recognize that?
Roll history.
There we go, he must had coffee, it's a 19.
It looks similar to a logo or a signature
or something that I'll let you determine
whether they were friend or not,
but someone you went to school with.
You remember them being William Vanderhootz.
Okay.
We'll be right back.
It's The Middle.
Welcome to The Middle, friends.
I hope you're having a great week.
We're all here just to say, thanks for being here.
Yeah, absolutely.
We love to have you,
love seeing you at Only Adventure.
Just out on the high seas and on the road,
less traveled.
On the sidewalk, in the bakery, everywhere.
On the boardwalk, down the pier.
You know what I didn't do
is hit record on my local device.
So we're just pulling straight Amy and Russ audio
off this other microphone.
And I'll pull that out from the actual recording
so I don't just jump into the show.
You know how it is.
Anyway, where we only sometimes forget to hit record
is over on Patreon, patreon.com slash dumb dragon cat.
How mad would Tom be?
He runs that show.
That's right.
That'd be fine.
Yeah.
What if we had to do it again?
Wouldn't be the same.
We just wouldn't.
We'd do something else.
He just wouldn't.
Yeah.
Rework it, reshape it.
It'd be lost to time,
only what you remember you can bring back in.
Like the live show.
Yeah.
We have that.
I mean, we could probably release that live show.
It does sound like a bunch of robots on stage though.
So you let us know.
Do you want to hear robots on stage?
I don't even think it's an option.
I don't, yeah.
I don't recommend it.
I asked.
We should just post it.
But the title is,
I don't recommend listening to this.
Yeah, don't listen to this.
It'll be our most listened to episode.
And then people are gonna be like,
I'm gonna listen to it.
Just listen everywhere.
Just cause mom and dad told me not to.
These idiots have been doing a podcast for how many years
and this is the best they can do?
Dee Snider would be on board for sure.
You know what?
He probably would be.
Yeah.
So when you come over to Patreon,
you get a whole bunch of exclusive content.
So if you're caught up on this show,
which means you've listened to more than 300 hours,
which is probably more than 400.
That's a lift.
In 300 episodes,
so more than 400 hours of content.
Of great, great adventure, not content.
Great, great adventure.
Great adventure.
Fun time with friends.
Come on over to Patreon,
where we have an equivalent number of episodes.
Yes.
This is all we do, you guys.
That's not true.
A lot of them are downtime,
so they're much shorter,
but there's probably another 200 hours
of stuff over there.
And it's a lot of fun.
But you also get an episode dedicated to you.
Yeah, yeah.
Today's patron, Coe Sellsgabber.
Coe Sellsgabber.
I mean, I don't even know where to start on that one,
other than to say thank you.
I like it.
Thanks, Coe.
You rock. Yeah, appreciate it.
Even if Russ maybe butchered your name.
I edited it.
I'm pretty sure I messed it up big time.
Absolutely.
I was so scared I didn't even try it.
Well, thanks for being here, Coe.
We really appreciate you.
And if you want to be like Coe,
come over to patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
And we hope to see you over there.
Thanks, friends.
We'll talk to you soon.
Bye now.
Love you, bye.
Love you all, bye.
So, Alydin, yes,
that was the person I was assuming it was.
And they, at school, they weren't.
Oh, he's a school chum?
Yeah, he's an old school friend.
But I use the term friend loosely.
I didn't make it a habit of mingling
with the other students too much.
Events where you were forced to, of course,
and that's kind of how I got to know some people.
And William was one of them.
One thing that we did kind of bond over
are kind of the trinkets that we like to make
that do make fun for us
and maybe a little bit of mischief for others.
However, this contraption obviously shows
that he does not have a good air for business.
Because look, you know, he said it just works.
From the looks of it, you just turn it on and it goes.
You'll have to line the runes up and then magic.
Cool.
So there is no need for somebody to buy a second one.
And right then and there is a bad business practice.
Because how are you going to get people to return
if the item does not get used up?
What if the item is not really for what he says it's for?
Ooh.
That's a good observation
that it could have nefarious intent behind it.
It seems slimy.
God, if he's invisible in here somewhere,
I'm, you know what, no, I'm not sorry.
I'm gonna open up the envelope.
And inside, there's not a long letter
that just says your name at the top, bizarre.
And then there's just an uno reverse card.
And it's like.
Oh shit.
And then it just says, you lost the game.
You've swapped places.
He owns the store now.
That son of a bitch.
It's just a picture of somebody holding up a thing.
Jesus, it's all those things.
It's all three of those things.
This guy's a real douche.
It says, bizarre, see you in two weeks.
And then it's signed, not William Vanderhootz.
It's signed William M. Hicks.
M, period.
As if he had a longer middle name,
but forgot it.
Yeah, middle initial.
M is for middle.
William Middle Hicks.
William Middle.
Why are you gonna see him in two weeks?
I have no clue, but let's.
Does the crate seem like it's probably
about holding a lot of these fucking boomsticks?
They're about the same size.
And it looks like perhaps a stacked crate
full of these boomsticks.
Is this, is this crate sealed?
With a small latch, it's not locked or anything.
I'll grab a quick padlock and I'm gonna put it
on there and then I'm gonna shove this
in the back corner of a room.
And I'm gonna write defective on it.
What if they're, what if they're spy sticks?
Damn it, you are, you are a good business associate.
Thank you.
I actually will keep this one
and start dismantling it once I have the opportunity.
We're gonna get to the bottom of this
because somebody showing up and trying to sell me things
is, well, not how I've ever done business.
And I, but here, back to what I was saying.
Why don't you, here, try out this new gum that I've made.
That's really good.
Over at EverBains, Bonwyn, you've spent
the last few days trying to clean up the mess
that the monster created coming through your floor
and out your front door.
Still haven't completed the front facade yet.
You and Thane are still putting things away,
trying to get some work done,
small jobs here and there or as you clear a workstation.
As you are getting ready to start
on one of these projects, there's a small knock
at what used to be the door
and it's now just a broken wooden frame.
Hey.
You turn and you look and there's a middle-aged man,
salt and pepper hair,
little rough and scraggly around the edges
and he takes a step in and says, hello.
I came to town today and realized that there's been
a many things going on.
Is everybody okay here?
Oh, we're, we are okay.
Not everyone is okay.
It was quite a thing.
Oh, it looks like it.
My name is Folan Varam.
I came to town more as, well,
trying to acquire some goods
to go out further adventuring beyond here
and knew that Everbane's has such a renowned reputation
throughout the lands,
but I don't want to put anything on you
that might be taking away from rebuilding.
Oh, you're very, very sweet.
We do, I mean, what kind of things are you looking for?
We, you know, we have some items.
There are some things we can put together
pretty quickly.
I mean, Thane over there has been making hammerheads
like nobody's business as we're rebuilding the city,
but what are you looking for?
Well, me and a couple others,
we were supposed to be meeting up here.
It may take them a few extra days
now knowing the current state
of the comings and goings of the town,
but we are going on,
well, you see, we've been tied into our work
and our lives and our jobs for far too long
and thought perhaps that we'd go out on the road
and see what good fortune is out there.
So we've been told that having sturdy weapons
is something that is something we should have.
So although not the strongest,
I have been working,
he holds up his arms, they're like sticks.
I have been working, I've been trying to make sure
that I can lift anything,
but I hear that you make some lighter weaponry,
some, perhaps a long sword,
perhaps something that otherwise would be quite cumbersome
for someone of my figure and my stature
and make it a bit lighter.
You heard right.
Yeah, I definitely specialize in creating weapons,
well, for all types of people of all abilities,
always of the finest quality,
always very sharp, very capable,
but yes, I can definitely make it lighter.
As he enters the room and pulls down his hood,
you see that he's a half-elven man.
Where are you heading on your adventures?
Because that might make a difference.
Sword shape, if you're heading somewhere jungly,
you'd want something with more of a curve
so you can really cut through the brush.
Well, I was coming from Kingstown Way,
not specifically Kingstown,
but just beyond there at a little port city,
and heading off and over the Me Mountains,
I hear that there is a dense rainforest
that has been on my list to go visit
for forever now.
That's where we're headed, first stop,
and then I've been collecting stories along the way
to see if there's anywhere else that I'd like to visit.
Do you know of anything, anywhere around here,
perhaps while I'm waiting for my friends,
that would be of interest to a person like myself?
Well, I hate to be a negative Nellie,
but I am gonna tell you two places
you maybe shouldn't go.
There are some parts of the Me Mountains
you're probably going to want to avoid.
Bit of what you see here is a result
of some creatures from there,
but I can show you exactly on a map where to avoid,
and you should be fine.
There's many, many routes through the mountains,
and if you go to the lake, which you should,
it's beautiful.
Excellent.
That's Lake Vochtig over there, yes.
Lake Vochtig, exactly.
Yeah, have you been down that way yet,
or did you come right here?
I've seen the signs, and familiar with the area.
I've been here some time ago, heard of Everbanes.
I believe I met your father once,
would have been much longer ago than I care to count.
Well, him and my mom retired down onto the lake,
so you know, that's got the Everbane seal of approval.
Fantastic.
Just maybe avoid the islands.
For any particular reason?
No, just I would say as a resident,
probably safe as just to avoid there, but.
I'm not a great swimmer anyway,
so I'll just stick around, stick around the shores.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, it's really too bad you weren't here
just, you know, one week ago.
We had a lovely waterfront.
Yes, yes, I hear, like I've heard Vintersmouth
is a flourishing, very rich town.
Like it's surprising, like how long, how many nights?
Oh, well.
Has this happened very recently?
How long ago did this event happen?
Well, quite recently,
there is some sort of maybe income inequality
in Vintersmouth on this side of the river.
This is where the working folk are.
And on the other side of the river is more,
how do I put this?
Kind of more like where the rich assholes live.
Some of them are very nice.
And apologies if you yourself are rich.
Most of my clients are.
So perhaps I shouldn't be saying such things.
Just having money does not justify a lot of the actions
that one necessarily takes once they come into.
Exactly, exactly.
There's a way to have money and still be a good person.
Is the current mayoral office still held by,
is it Mayor Knops?
Yep, yep, Mayor Knops.
Still the head man in charge.
It's been a while.
Well. Yeah.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to drag you into local politics.
You came here to shop.
I did.
I have a few things I can show you
right away if you'd like.
If you would like a custom piece,
that will take some time.
For a sort of more, and then apologies,
this sounds a little bit rude, but I think you'd agree,
a more basic, serviceable, but excellent quality weapon
veins your person.
All right.
If you want something unique,
then I might be your gal.
Well, do like the idea of something serviceable,
something, but that has a unique quality to it.
Absolutely.
We've got, I mean, I have some,
and I'm kind of searching through,
like everything's just kind of in piles
and in wooden crates,
because we've been moving things.
And I pull out a rolled piece of leather and unroll it.
And there are a lot of, you know,
just kind of basic day-to-day knives,
like daggers and some slightly longer,
but of various functions,
but all, you know,
just the kind of things that we would make
when we had a little bit of metal leftover
and wanted to forge something.
Of course.
Oh, these are delightful.
Perhaps I purchased multiple items from you, you know,
as my friends are coming into town,
I have a few days.
So no huge rush.
There's no timeline on what we're doing.
I will get a room and stay here.
Perhaps go see if your father recognizes me.
But yes, as I mentioned,
perhaps a long sword struck my fancy,
a couple daggers and something,
maybe one other item, something special.
I'll let you choose what it is.
Do you prefer something you wield
or something you throw?
I hadn't considered throwing.
If I have the sword.
The nice thing about throwing is you don't need,
you don't need a lot of this, you know,
you don't need the biggest muscles in the world.
Let's go for some of that.
It seems we've got a lot of upfront,
close quarters protection.
Yeah, something with range,
something to keep us,
perhaps a little bit at distance if we need.
Perfect.
Before you go,
I'm just going to take some measurements.
Of course.
Get your draw length, your inseam,
your waist circumference,
just all the measurements,
just in case.
Yes, you're the professional.
Sometimes I'd make a custom sheath.
You know, I want to know how it's going to fit.
I tuck to the right if that matters.
If you don't mind that.
And if you don't mind,
I do have this,
if you could just stand right there,
that's perfect.
And if you just look in that direction,
you'll see there's a poster on the wall.
I see it.
And it's on the far side.
Yes.
Am I supposed to read the bottom line?
Yes.
Yes, please.
E, F,
S, C,
Z,
P, Q,
A.
Okay, and the line above that?
Okay.
R,
L,
M.
Great.
Okay, perfect.
I just need to know what kind of throwing,
throwing range, you know?
Great, great.
Perfect.
This is Thane.
Nice to meet you, Thane.
I'm Bonwyn.
I didn't actually introduce myself.
He just reaches out for a hearty handshake,
and he has a powerful handshake,
considering how thin and frail he looks.
Well, it's lovely to meet you.
I'm excited to see what you've done.
As I said, I'll just be around town
for the next couple of days.
I'll pop in every now and again, just to...
As your friends come in, bring them in,
I can get some ideas what they might be interested in,
and yeah, if you want some local recommendations.
Where's somewhere great to eat,
and somewhere lovely to stay?
Okay, so you're going to want to go to those buns dough?
Perfect, saw it walking in, yes.
Delicious, delicious.
Coffee, pastries, wonderful.
Pulls out a little flip notebook
and starts writing this down.
And if you're looking for a beverage
and some comradery, Brewed Awakening
is going to be the place you're going to want to go.
Excellent, I will hit both of those places today.
Perfect.
Thank you, thank you, Bonwyn.
And for a place to stay,
I would recommend the Curly Carrot.
Now you're not going to find any meat there.
I don't know if you're a big carnivore,
it is vegetarian only if you eat at the restaurant,
but you won't miss it.
It's delicious.
And the rooms, beautiful, so simple,
but also everything's organic and plush and nice,
and obviously it goes without saying,
that is on the noble side of the city.
Of course, well that'll give me an opportunity
to get a complete lay of the land.
Yeah, walk around and explore,
forgive all the rebuilding that's happening.
It didn't look like this, you know, just a few days ago.
Well, thank you.
Thank you again.
I'll see you very soon.
I'm going to go at least get a room
and then do a little wandering around.
Get a coffee and a pastry for your wandering.
You won't regret it.
See you soon as he walks out into the street.

right, Russ?
That's the way magic works.
Not because I had nothing planned

Nope, that's not how this game works.
