00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,280 I mean, we could probably dedicate it to them. 549 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,120 Yup. 550 00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:29,680 Like, right now, they know who they are. 551

00:25:30,399 --> 00:25:31,799 It would be quite bad for your health. 590 00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:33,440 You have to have two going at one time. 591 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,519 So you do like one

00:25:40,039 He's stressing me out. 595 00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:41,599 He's just saying that. 596 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:44,359 There's a reason you have like a hemispherical brain 597 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,319 it's so you can listen to two different versions 598 00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:48,200 of our podcast at the same time. 599 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,840 I see nothing going wrong with this. 600 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,680 Not a doctor. 601 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,400 Nine out of 10 doctors would agree. 602 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,279 Join us today at patreon.com slash dumb dragon

00:30:17,079 --> 00:30:20,359 that you feel like maybe it's been there all along. 740 00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:23,000 So like, yes, I wrote it, 741 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,759 but I don't feel like I did. 742 00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:26,319 You know what I mean? 743 00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:28,559 It's like it was just given to me out of the ether. 744 00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:29,960 Yeah, weirdly I do. 745 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,399 I design weapons and sometimes when I think of something, 746 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,840 it's just like, oh, this is it. 747 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,280 And I can perfectly imagine how it will piece together, 748 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,480 how I will weld it, how everything will work. 749 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320 And it's just, it's so easy. 750 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,600 Awesome, so you get it. 751 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,680 But yeah, what's going on? 752 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,640 Have you been singing that for a long time? 753 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,200 You know, I've been singing it, 754 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,080 God, how long have I been singing it? 755 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:55,960 You know, I really don't know the answer to that 756 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,200 question, but just one day I think I started playing it 757 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,320 and I can't remember how long ago that was now. 758 00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:05,679 So the banjo man isn't about a specific person. 759 00:31:05,679 --> 00:31:06,519 It's just- 760 00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:08,720 Oh, no, it is. 761 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,240 It's about a bard that's been out there. 762 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,039 His name's Calder Bramble. 763 00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,439 He used to go around the Vorboten Forest 764 00:31:18,439 --> 00:31:20,000 and search for inspiration. 765 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,119 So yeah, it's kind of one of those tales we hear about 766 00:31:24,119 --> 00:31:26,119 from other bards kind of filters through. 767 00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:28,720 So maybe it was one of those kind of inception things 768 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,399 where like, you know, we heard about Calder 769 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,440 and something with an archfey and some banjo capabilities. 770 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,960 Almost one of those like, you know, tall tales. 771 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,280 Make a deal with the devil to get good at music 772 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,120 kind of thing. 773 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,720 Deist looks to Bonwyn and Alice and Lyriel. 774 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,000 Archfey? 775 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,519 What's an archfey? 776 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:53,040 From what I know, I know they're pretty powerful beings 777 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,160 from the fey realm. 778 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,280 So I mean, they exist as far as I know. 779 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,720 Okay, great. 780 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,559 But yeah, you know, so I guess it's possible 781 00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:06,160 that it's a real thing. 782 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000 But not something you've heard about actively happening, 783 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,119 just sort of like a folk tale that you've heard 784 00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:14,279 as you've traveled around. 785 00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:16,559 Yeah, yeah, it's kind of that like, you know, 786 00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:19,440 the archfey gave Calder this gift 787 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,240 and you know, it's those who listen too long 788 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,680 are kind of like pulled into the Feywild. 789 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,399 It's one of those storytelling tropes 790 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,759 kind of like, you know, scare children a little bit, 791 00:32:28,759 --> 00:32:32,519 but also let them know like, you know, just behave. 792 00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:34,759 Yeah, don't follow strangers. 793 00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:37,200 Yeah, it's probably a good lesson. 794 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,880 Yeah, the heart of the song is to help them. 795 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,280 Why, what's going on? 796 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,280 Why are y'all asking me these questions? 797 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,040 Well, one of the children went missing last night. 798 00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:51,600 One of the children who heard you sing the song. 799 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,759 Who heard you sing the song and then was singing it. 800 00:32:54,759 --> 00:32:58,599 Sang the song a lot, as far as we understand. 801 00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:00,279 They're singing a lot. 802 00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:05,079 And then disappeared in the night from his bed. 803 00:33:05,079 --> 00:33:06,599 I mean, I sing the song a lot 804 00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:09,680 and I've never gone disappearing from my bed. 805 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,279 Nobody wants to kidnap big people. 806 00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:14,119 That hurts. 807 00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:15,920 It has a point here, yes. 808 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,279 I mean, kid is right in the name, I guess, so. 809 00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:20,839 You don't sing the song for grownups? 810 00:33:20,839 --> 00:33:23,879 Where did you sing it last time? 811 00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:27,519 Well, I mean, last time I sang it right here. 812 00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:29,359 No, before you got to Vintersmouth. 813 00:33:29,359 --> 00:33:32,200 Well, you know, like, kids are really easy to entertain. 814 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,359 So like, you know, the last time I played, 815 00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:37,799 it was probably at a playground a couple towns over, 816 00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:39,359 or, you know, some of the other towns 817 00:33:39,359 --> 00:33:41,640 actually have a school and they let musicians come in. 818 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,319 So like, I was surprised that wasn't the case here. 819 00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:47,039 You guys should ask them if they have any missing kids. 820 00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:48,000 Of course. 821 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,480 You don't remember the name of the town 822 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,640 that you were in? 823 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,400 How convenient. 824 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,840 No, I go to a lot of towns. 825 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,880 So, but the last one I can think of is like Ronlet. 826 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,680 You know, it's like southwest of here. 827 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,840 Yeah, no, I know it. 828 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,800 Yeah, well, we can, when he looks to Bonwyn and Alladin, 829 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,000 we can send a couple scouts over 830 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,440 and see if they had any similar occurrences 831 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,320 happening there after Lyriel. 832 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,160 Not a person of interest. 833 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,079 Are you planning on staying in town for very long? 834 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,880 I don't feel comfortable answering that question, officer. 835 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,319 All I'm saying is, you know, 836 00:34:24,319 --> 00:34:26,400 we're trying to find this kid. 837 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,159 Cedric is his name and we're hoping 838 00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,360 that he's just playing hide and seek somewhere. 839 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,960 You know, sometimes the kids do, 840 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,759 but on the off chance he's not, 841 00:34:34,759 --> 00:34:36,319 we might have some more questions for you. 842 00:34:36,319 --> 00:34:38,199 So if you don't mind, we can put you up. 843 00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:39,920 We can put you up at the hotel. 844 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,239 Make sure you're taken care of 845 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,279 just if you have any other... 846 00:34:42,279 --> 00:34:45,519 Bonwyn, show them the music note. 847 00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:48,319 Yeah, I want to just ask you a couple more questions 848 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,720 if you don't mind. 849 00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,600 Have you ever seen anything like this before? 850 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,760 And I pull out that etching I made of that symbol. 851 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,200 Have you ever seen this, anything like this before? 852 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,559 You can kind of see it was also, 853 00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:02,400 there's a little bit of charcoal kind of on here. 854 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,640 It was like kind of burnt and scratched into the floor 855 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,240 and it was like a bit shimmery. 856 00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,600 It was pretty unsettling. 857 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,840 And I just thought, I mean, you've been 858 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:13,960 all over the place maybe, 859 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,600 you've seen something like this before. 860 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,120 Oh, oh, and also, 861 00:35:17,159 --> 00:35:19,639 have you ever seen this kind of leaf before? 862 00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:22,000 We don't have anything like this here. 863 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,039 Well, hold on, let me see that etching. 864 00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:25,759 You said it was burned onto the floor. 865 00:35:25,759 --> 00:35:28,039 I sniffed the back of the paper. 866 00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:29,719 Your etching smells like cinnamon, 867 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,920 so maybe that's something to go off. 868 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,920 If you know anybody that knows about magic, 869 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,679 that's not normally what burnt things smell like 870 00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:41,119 unless you're burning cinnamon, I guess. 871 00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:43,359 But, you know, kind of seems weird to do that 872 00:35:43,359 --> 00:35:45,799 just to put an etching into the floor. 873 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,480 As far as this leaf here, 874 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,920 I don't know, what does that look like, holly? 875 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,880 I can't tell. 876 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,039 It was worth a shot. 877 00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:52,880 Yeah. 878 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,400 I'd say it looks like a winter plant. 879 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:55,240 I don't know. 880 00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,120 But I don't know shit about nature, 881 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,120 so, you know, take that with a grain of salt. 882 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,039 I appreciate your honesty about that. 883 00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:01,280 I mean, honestly, I was hoping 884 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,400 you'd just act real shady and suspicious 885 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,280 and we just think you snatched a kid, 886 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,200 but you seem like a nice guy, so. 887 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,400 That's what they always say. 888 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,880 It was a quiet, nice guy. 889 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,320 Don't leave town. 890 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,240 Oh, yeah, as far as the hotel goes, 891 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,400 it's not gonna be like the sad one 892 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,600 with like the divorced dads, is it? 893 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,120 Not anymore. 894 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,920 I tried to play there and it was just depressing. 895 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,760 It's a sad state of affairs over there, yeah. 896 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,800 We'll put you up down the road, 897 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,240 a little bed and breakfast, 898 00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:30,880 hopefully just a night, you know, 899 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,560 but we'll make sure you're taken care of. 900 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,680 If we have any questions in the morning, 901 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:35,760 we'll come find you. 902 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,760 Appreciate your help today. 903 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,080 And if you could, I'm so sorry, 904 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,200 I don't mean to get in the way 905 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,240 of like your artistic expression, 906 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,400 but if you could not sing that specific song anymore, 907 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,120 right now. 908 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:49,960 Yeah, I. 909 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:50,800 That would be great, 910 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,400 because a bunch of the kids are naturally 911 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,200 like pretty freaked out. 912 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,360 Because their friend's missing and it just. 913 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:58,800 I think that can be arranged 914 00:36:58,800 -->
