[0.0s] Dumbgeons and Dragons will begin in a moment.
[3.3s] I'm pretty sure I had an idea or part of a plan. Like,
[8.1s] Well, I think the plan was like the putting the thing in the thing though, right?
[11.6s] Well, it didn't not work. You did the thing. There's no confirmation because there are still two things that aren't there.
[22.0s] So we need to get all the notes to the music box.
[24.3s] I'm not gonna say all of it out loud.
[26.1s] And we need to finish the song.
[27.8s] We'll require another yeeting.
[30.2s] Yeah, we'll need to get another note from the sky first.
[33.8s] Yeah, and throw it into the memory of him like writing at the piano, right?
[38.0s] Because I pulled that close.
[39.0s] Yes, you did.
[40.4s] And that's what I got thrown into.
[41.3s] Yes, but Russ made a face when we did throw a note in there.
[44.7s] I make faces for everything.
[46.5s] You know what? I think the throwing it into the memory is more beautiful.
[51.9s] So we should just go with that plan and see what happens.
[55.1s] Can we interact with the memory guy?
[58.7s] Plus, it's also Russ's time bullshit, so we probably love it because we're like affected because we're affecting the past.
[65.7s] We're like, it's a memory of when he was writing the song and if you give him the song, the completion of the song.
[73.4s] Well, I don't think it's a time fuckery thing more than it is like a revealing of, you know, unblocking a memory.
[79.3s] Oh, okay.
[80.4s] Well, great.
[81.5s] We're opening pathways.
[82.8s] We're connecting neurons.
[85.0s] That's right.
[85.6s] We're brain surgeons right now.
[87.1s] We're basically brain surgeons.
[88.5s] We're basically brain surgeons right now.
[90.8s] Just get a thing and yeet it.
[92.6s] We're basically brain surgeons.
[94.6s] Just fucking.
[95.4s] I mean, that's how they do it.
[96.7s] Throw that shit in the brain and let's go.
[101.1s] Okay, that's our cold open.
[102.4s] Alright, throw that shit in the brain and let's go.

[164.1s] Okay, now we get into the actual episode.
[166.5s] Perfect.
[167.1s] Love it.
[167.9s] I was trying to come up with something narrative and good, but no, that's
[171.4s] that was that was much better.
[173.2s] Just nonsense.
[175.7s] Let's stick with what we do best.
[177.8s] Okay, to reset the scene, you are all in a floating face space.
[184.2s] You are standing on various platforms.
[186.8s] Cav and Bonwyn, you've just been hit by these falling musical notes that have come down
[191.4s] and hit you pretty hard.
[193.1s] But you have the music box and two golden notes that you've plucked from the air.
[200.1s] Bizard and Alydin, you are on a piece of the original platform that you were on when
[205.6s] you came into this space and you just pulled over one of Calder's memories, one where
[211.0s] it appears that he's he's he's creating he's writing music in that it's a it's like
[218.2s] a stark like stone tavern that he's writing at a table kind of all by himself.
[225.4s] And you've thrown one of these musical notes in there.
[230.8s] The shadowy horrors, horrors coming out of everywhere, like they're climbing up onto
[238.4s] the various different memories that you see of Everbane's in the stables and of
[245.2s] I've forgotten every location that it has those shadowy horrors have already
[249.7s] gotten there.
[251.0s] Exactly.
[251.6s] They've taken those memories from you, too.
[255.0s] I did play it yourself.
[256.8s] Got got climbing up on them.
[259.2s] And like attacking them, you see fracturing happening on all of these different
[263.2s] spaces.
[265.0s] And Banjo Man is over nearest to Bonwyn and Cav.
[270.7s] He is this grotesque figure, long arms strumming his banjo.
[276.6s] He's got big wings and was also lit on fire.
[279.1s] You threw some ink or oil rather on him and sparked him.
[284.7s] So he's a blaze or whatever clothing is left on him is a blaze and letting out a
[290.1s] hideous shriek.
[291.3s] And Bizard, you have to speak in rhyming couplets for at least another couple
[297.0s] I believe.
[297.7s] So, Alydin, you begin the round.
[307.1s] OK, feel free to converse with Bizard or yell across the football field.
[313.9s] OK, well, I have a question for the DM.
[315.6s] So, DM, what do I see happen when the who threw the note?
[323.0s] I think Bizard mage handed it over.
[330.4s] And then who held the note?
[332.9s] I think I think Bizard, you had the note.
[336.8s] Well, it's not super important, but do I notice anything happen to the
[340.3s] memory when the note enters it?
[344.4s] Yeah, like is the memory played on a loop and now there's like an extra beat to it
[348.7s] at the end of the set.
[350.1s] You throw that note, which I mean, all the notes that are floating by are
[355.4s] various different colors.
[356.6s] But when you when you've seen and found these other ones, they turn turn to
[361.3s] like a golden, a glowing golden hue aura about them.
[367.4s] So when you throw it in, yes, you see it like passes a barrier, something
[375.3s] that you've seen the banjo man go into some of these things, but you haven't
[378.4s] quite seen this same effect like passes a barrier like and it almost
[381.6s] glows like it's passing through something in order to get into this space.
[388.0s] There is a noticeable like waver as it enters this memory.
[393.8s] And then is it just like on the floor in that memory?
[397.2s] It's like floating in the space.
[399.0s] Yeah, does memory Calder notice that?
[402.9s] I don't know if you would have noticed him.
[406.0s] He's on fire.
[408.6s] No, no memory Calder.
[409.9s] Oh, memory color.
[410.7s] No, I would call them the banjo man.
[412.5s] If we're talking about that, a blazed dude.
[415.0s] No memory.
[415.8s] You don't memory Calder like is is within this memory like it doesn't
[420.0s] look like he is affected by anything that's happening anywhere.
[426.0s] Bizarre. You know, when he went in and started smashing all Bonwyn's
[432.4s] stuff inside of Everbane's, do you think that we can go inside of that
[437.4s] one and talk to him?
[442.1s] I'm not really sure, but there's always a chance we could give it a go.
[448.4s] And join in his dance.
[450.5s] Okay, she's like, this is going to get old real fast.
[457.2s] Wow.
[457.7s] This is going to stay for a while.
[460.1s] Is this a forever thing?
[461.3s] I really don't know, and I certainly don't hope so.
[465.5s] Okey doke.
[466.7s] All right.
[468.9s] How many things can your hand lift?
[474.2s] Your fake hand.
[476.7s] Your ghost hand, your fake ghost hand pause for rhyming couplet.
[485.4s] Fuck shit.
[486.4s] Fuck shit under five pounds.
[488.6s] I don't know stuff under five pounds.
[492.6s] Why do you keep making me make sounds?
[494.9s] Okay.
[499.8s] Well, I'm just going to try.
[506.2s] And she's going to be a stupid kid, and she's going to do a run and into Calder's
[514.7s] because it's been pulled over, right?
[516.2s] So not just.
[517.9s] Well, I don't think we said it was like bumped up.
[522.8s] I think we said like 25 feet.
[524.7s] Okay, then hold on.
[526.2s] Oh, jeez.
[527.0s] Yeah.
[529.0s] Alydin thinks very highly of herself and her athletic abilities, however.
[534.2s] There was previously talk of like throwing a dwarf.
[538.5s] Yeah, there was a dwarf.
[539.8s] That was before Cav went over to another location.
[544.1s] And pretty much is dead almost.
[546.1s] Yeah, Cav can't throw me now.
[546.8s] Well, there was talk about throwing you too.
[548.5s] But yeah, we could throw you, not the literal dwarf.
[551.1s] Yeah, yeah.
[552.2s] Just something like that.
[554.8s] There are things like this is in constant motion, right?
[560.1s] Everything's just kind of floating around.
[562.2s] Do I see anything that I could jump on and kind of like make my way there?
[567.2s] I don't know why it made that noise over, you know, it does like stepping stone.
[575.0s] Sure.
[575.9s] So a lot of these memories are like moving through space.
[578.8s] So as you look to Calder's memory and then are trying to figure out how you
[586.5s] could get over there, you see another memory coming from the left passing
[592.8s] towards you a closer distance that you feel like you could make.
[597.8s] What is the memory that you see?
[599.8s] It is one of Cav's memories.
[603.0s] And it is very like this memory is blurred and very difficult to
[614.6s] actually see.
[616.6s] Oh, I hope it's Boy's Night.
[617.9s] It is. It's the tattoo.
[619.8s] It's it's you and Oak and oh, my God, headache.
[626.2s] Bizarre.
[627.2s] Nope. He wasn't at Boy's Night.
[629.9s] Oh, Bench was. Yeah, sorry.
[631.3s] Bench. I forgot.
[632.5s] I was like, rude dude is what I was going to say.
[635.3s] We did the fishing summer one where there was another Boy's Night, OK?
[639.0s] OK, but I'm talking crazy Boy's Night.
[641.9s] OG Boy's Night.
[643.1s] So Cav, Oak and Bench are getting their tattoos done in this one.
[650.6s] And Cav is actually doing fine.
[654.7s] Oak is weeping openly.
[657.4s] OK, so, yeah, this memory is coming from the passing between you and Calder's
[663.8s] memory. You could attempt a jump between.
[669.1s] Yeah, I want to hitch a ride.
[670.4s] OK, make an athletics check.
[673.2s] Athletics or acrobatics?
[674.7s] Or athletic or athletic.
[676.7s] I have a negative one in athletics, but a plus one in acrobatics.
[681.4s] His athletics, I think, is strength based.
[684.2s] And then, oh, baby, 20, dirty 20.
[687.3s] OK, oh, I mean, watch me jump.
[690.3s] You chose acrobatics.
[691.6s] Yeah, so it looks good.
[693.3s] OK, I probably have to like hurtle over something or like vault.
[698.8s] Yeah, you like basically it's a decathlon and you're killing it.
[701.8s] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[702.9s] So you have enough movement to be able to make it to Calder's memory.
[706.9s] So as you leap to this to this Boy's Night memory, you step into it.
[714.4s] And now you find yourself in the tattoo parlor like it's like you go
[721.0s] and it's like you space.
[725.4s] Time.
[726.1s] The final frontier.
[730.8s] I'm imagining them like shop windows.
[733.2s] Yeah, so you like go and you're going to land on it.
[736.3s] But it's like you pass through this bubble and like music's playing
[740.2s] and you smell incense burning and you hear Oak crying.
[746.3s] Bench is like trying to console him.
[749.1s] And Cav is getting his done.
[752.0s] And are you going to obviously continue forward?
[758.5s] Yeah, if my if my dice roll got me good enough to just continue
[762.4s] running through and to jump onto Calder's, I will.
[765.9s] Yeah.
[766.7s] So you land in, you hear all of this as a quick sensory overload
[770.4s] and you jump through like a window of this place
[774.5s] and launch yourself towards Calder's memory.
[778.4s] Make a dexterity saving throw, please.
[784.1s] Eleven and I smacked my mic.
[788.5s] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[792.9s] Never mind, as you were.
[794.6s] As you leap out of this memory and towards Calder's,
[798.9s] like a cloud of these notes start like as you leap out,
[804.0s] like start slamming into you, which throws you off
[807.2s] and you begin floating through space
[809.2s] and like grab the edge of Calder's memory,
[813.2s] which you feel like begin to splinter beneath your hands.
[817.0s] It's like, it's hard.
[819.5s] Like you're grabbing onto hard glass.
[821.9s] Ow.
[825.7s] I think what it would just be,
[830.0s] ah, ah, ah, oh no, no, bizarre, bizarre, bizarre.
[835.1s] Okay, so you're holding onto this, like just by the edge,
[838.6s] you're out floating in space,
[841.6s] which brings us to Bonwyn.
[843.6s] You've just been struck hard
[845.6s] by one of these falling music notes.
[847.6s] You hear behind you the screams of the banjo man,
[851.0s] the echoes of the song that he continues to play.
[855.6s] You hear his wings flapping,
[857.1s] trying to beat out this fire.
[861.0s] What do you do?
[863.2s] Hmm.
[865.2s] And we're far away though, right?
[866.8s] Like you said, we're like a football field away now from.
[870.4s] Yes.
[871.5s] Alydin and Bazaar.
[872.8s] Maybe not quite a football field,
[874.2s] but like a fair distance.
[875.8s] You'd have to really book it to get there.
[877.6s] I can't physically grab her,
[879.0s] which is literally all I can do.
[881.2s] Okay.
[885.2s] I think for movement, I know that
[889.3s] when Cav tried to put the music in the music box,
[894.0s] was he like.
[894.8s] It's a polite way of putting it.
[895.6s] Was he like, just shove it,
[896.9s] he didn't like open it and try and put it in?
[899.6s] He like just was like hitting the top?
[901.4s] It was open, wasn't it?
[902.2s] It was open.
[903.1s] Yeah.
[903.9s] And you tried.
[904.8s] So I like, I tried to just like dunk it in
[906.0s] and like didn't go.
[906.8s] Nothing happened.
[907.6s] Real Shaq move going there.
[909.1s] Yeah, yeah.
[910.9s] Okay.
[911.8s] Can I try and do that more delicately?
[914.4s] Where I like open it, put it inside and close it?
[917.9s] Or it's like huge. Sure.
[919.1s] How big are the notes?
[919.9s] Maybe it's like an intention thing.
[920.8s] In my mind though.
[921.6s] The notes are like, you're grabbing them.
[924.5s] I don't have a close approximation.
[926.5s] Are they as big as this beer?
[928.2s] Larger than that.
[929.9s] Are they as big as this mug that Amy made?
[933.8s] They're like this.
[935.1s] Okay.
[935.9s] So like half a torso.
[937.4s] Okay.
[938.3s] Half a torso.
[939.1s] Or a torso.
[939.9s] A standard unit measurement.
[941.6s] A Carla torso or an Amy torso?
[943.4s] Exactly.
[944.2s] The Carla torso's much longer than mine.
[946.8s] All right.
[947.6s] It's true.
[948.5s] It's an Amy torso then.
[949.3s] Anyway.
[950.2s] Okay.
[951.2s] So it wouldn't fit in the box.
[954.2s] No.
[955.1s] So this doesn't make sense.
[955.9s] Okay.
[956.8s] I mean, not to your non-magical brain, obviously.
[960.1s] I guess what I'm going to do is try to,
[963.7s] is just keep grabbing notes,
[965.4s] trying to find more golden notes.
[967.5s] Cause I know we had three and now we only have two.
[970.5s] So I'd like to get back to at least three.
[973.0s] Three seemed like at least a base number.
[975.8s] Okay.
[977.0s] So can I try and grab at notes to like get a golden one?
[981.3s] Yes.
[982.8s] So it was investigation or arcana
[985.7s] to be able to find notes in the space.
[989.5s] Okay.
[992.5s] Well, that's an eight.
[994.0s] So I guess I just gently pat Cav's head.
[998.2s] They're there.
[999.0s] Shh.
[999.8s] They're there.
[1000.8s] Just brushing the hair from his face.
[1003.1s] Yeah.
[1003.9s] 100% health.
[1004.7s] Great.
[1006.6s] So I guess that's nothing.
[1009.0s] I've done nothing.
[1010.3s] Tried to do some movement there, I guess,
[1012.4s] or was that, I guess that was my action.
[1014.1s] I rolled on it.
[1015.0s] So that's what I do.
[1016.3s] Wait, is he still cut?
[1017.5s] Like, is he covered?
[1018.3s] He got, he got smashed by...
[1021.9s] Well, I did.
[1023.0s] I like threw myself on top of him.
[1023.9s] She took the majority of it.
[1025.7s] So maybe I help him up.
[1027.1s] Can I help him up?
[1028.2s] Yep.
[1029.1s] So we're both standing
[1030.1s] cause we were probably both prone.
[1031.8s] You were, yeah, you were both, yeah.
[1033.3s] Knocked, knocked down pretty hard.
[1035.8s] Okay.
[1036.7s] As your turn ends,
[1039.9s] you see the hands of some of these shadowy figures
[1044.3s] coming up over the edge.
[1046.4s] And like one of them comes up and over the edge quickly
[1049.5s] and like opens its mouth and has these sharp jagged teeth
[1052.5s] and lets out this, this resonant tune
[1056.0s] that shakes you to your core.
[1059.5s] Make, do I need you to make something?
[1064.1s] Does the tune act as any sort of like indicator
[1067.9s] for the music notes nearby as to which ones might react?
[1071.9s] Great question.
[1073.3s] And are they able to notice that
[1075.0s] and be scared at the same time?
[1075.8s] Also, please remember that in the house,
[1077.9s] I had advantage on a sound-related thing
[1080.4s] because I'm used to extremely loud sounds.
[1083.3s] Yes, you do.
[1084.1s] From all of my smithing.
[1085.7s] All of the hammering.
[1086.9s] Exactly.
[1087.9s] Is the, is the mouth kind of like
[1090.0s] the really creepy guy?
[1092.6s] I'm picturing Venom, so I don't know what that sounds like.
[1097.1s] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1098.0s] Like, yeah, like shark teeth kind of vibe, yeah.
[1100.9s] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd say that.
[1102.4s] Okay.
[1103.5s] Make a dexterity, not a dexterity,
[1106.1s] a wisdom saving throw with advantage
[1108.2s] because you got your ears plugged.
[1112.1s] Oh, wisdom.
[1115.5s] I am not a smart woman.
[1119.3s] Uh, so that is unfortunately a 14 minus two
[1124.2s] on wisdom saving throw.
[1127.1s] It shakes you to your core,
[1132.2s] but you manage to-
[1133.1s] I do pee a little bit, probably.
[1134.9s] You do, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1137.1s] Definitely-
[1137.9s] Good thing I'm not laying on calf anymore.
[1139.2s] We both got up, so I'm glad I said that.
[1143.4s] Yeah, you do pee a little, but you do save.
[1146.8s] You do manage to shake off whatever effect
[1149.6s] this being is trying to bestow upon you.
[1155.1s] And as we kind of move back to Bazaar,
[1160.5s] we catch Everbane's,
[1162.0s] which is still floating through space there,
[1164.9s] and you see it out of the corner of your eye,
[1166.6s] and these fractures have gone deeper into the memory.
[1171.5s] It's like a pane of glass
[1174.7s] that is about ready to shatter.
[1176.8s] Bazaar, it's your turn.
[1179.1s] Alydin, hold on and be strong.
[1180.6s] If we can get in the memory, we can help with the song
[1183.3s] and make my way to Alydin while looking for notes.
[1190.3s] Kind of saying to myself,
[1191.4s] I'm gonna search and find the right pitch
[1193.2s] then throw it in that memory to help this dumb bitch.
[1196.8s] I'm assuming that Calder's the dumb bitch.
[1199.7s] Yes, I would assume that.
[1202.0s] Not sweet, Alydin.
[1203.5s] No.
[1205.3s] Yeah.
[1206.1s] Dumb bitch.
[1207.4s] Okay, so you're looking for more notes.
[1210.1s] And making my way over to...
[1212.5s] Okay, so you are also launching yourself
[1214.9s] between memories?
[1216.2s] Yeah.
[1217.0s] Yeah.
[1217.9s] Cool.
[1218.7s] That's what all the cool kids do.
[1220.1s] Absolutely.
[1220.9s] Seems like it.
[1221.7s] Alydin's a cool kid, I know.
[1223.3s] Alydin had kind of passed through, has moved on.
[1227.7s] A new memory is coming in from up above.
[1230.5s] You see it coming downwards
[1234.1s] towards you.
[1236.1s] What is that a memory of?
[1238.6s] I honestly couldn't paint.
[1240.1s] I honestly can't tell you.
[1241.4s] It's a really fancy looking party
[1243.1s] and there's some really odd things going on
[1245.1s] with a giraffe.
[1246.0s] I don't know.
[1247.1s] Okay.
[1248.5s] Love that.
[1250.7s] Okay.
[1251.5s] That was precious.
[1252.5s] We can't lose that one.
[1253.8s] Yeah, that must be protected above all else.
[1256.3s] Athletics or acrobatics as you jump into this memory.
[1259.5s] All right, we'll definitely do acrobatics.
[1263.4s] That's at least better than 14.
[1265.9s] 14, all right.
[1267.3s] So you time it so that you leap through it.
[1271.1s] There's laughter, there's these two giraffes
[1274.9s] which have mounted each other.
[1277.1s] And as you're running through,
[1279.1s] you see an opening in the back of this memory.
[1281.3s] There's another doorway which passes through
[1285.3s] into the memory that you're trying to get to.
[1287.6s] As you kind of look to your side,
[1289.9s] you see these giraffes
[1291.8s] and you see the face of Bonwyn and her friend
[1296.3s] all dressed up in this attire.
[1298.7s] And as you pass several doorways,
[1300.5s] you see that you are in fact in the quivering hills.
[1303.6s] Oh, shit.
[1304.5s] You carry on through and launch yourself
[1307.6s] towards Calder's memory.
[1309.6s] You want to try and find another note.
[1312.3s] So roll investigation or arcana as you leap out.
[1315.8s] Let's do the arcana and get a 27.
[1318.3s] Oh, wow.
[1321.9s] Sorry, that's so wrong.
[1323.4s] That's so wrong.
[1324.3s] It's not that much wrong, but it's a 23.
[1327.7s] I apologize.
[1328.5s] Okay, well, both are amazing.
[1331.4s] 27, you find 18 of them.
[1333.1s] I don't know how that happened.
[1334.7s] Amazing.
[1336.1s] 23, you definitely, as you leap through
[1338.7s] into another cloud of musical notes,
[1341.3s] your hand is almost guided towards one
[1344.2s] and you grab it as you continue to fly through
[1347.2s] which you crash into this memory.
[1352.0s] It, you have a,
[1356.5s] make a dex check.
[1360.0s] Okay.
[1362.4s] Dex check would be a 19.
[1365.1s] So you have just like a split second
[1368.0s] before you find yourself completely in this memory
[1370.9s] that you are launching yourself towards to grab Alydin.
[1374.7s] You manage to like reach out and grab her arm
[1378.3s] as you are sucked into this memory.
[1380.6s] Like you feel a pull into it
[1383.0s] and you grab hold of Alydin
[1385.3s] and she follows in behind you
[1386.9s] and both of you fall and tumble to the ground.
[1389.2s] You look to your left and you see Calder
[1391.9s] just madly writing and crumpling up the paper
[1394.8s] and madly writing.
[1395.8s] He doesn't seem to acknowledge you.
[1403.4s] Welcome to the middle, friends, family, loved ones.
[1407.3s] It's great to have you here.
[1408.9s] Hopefully you're enjoying the episode
[1411.1s] and having a great day.
[1413.1s] Yeah, I agree with that sentiment.
[1417.2s] We don't really have a lot to tell you.
[1420.7s] I don't want to sell you anything today.
[1422.8s] I just want to make sure that you're, you know,
[1424.9s] you're enjoying yourself.
[1426.6s] You're out there giving it your all, 110%,
[1431.7s] sports in as hard as you can.
[1433.7s] Unless you're tired and you can't,
[1435.2s] you can't give like 60, that's okay too.
[1437.4s] 110% of what you have to give.
[1439.4s] Exactly.
[1440.3s] That's the important caveat there.
[1441.9s] Give yourself 110% grace.
[1444.7s] Yes, that's quite beautiful, Kyle.
[1447.2s] Wow, that was lovely.
[1448.6s] He'll get you through.
[1449.5s] That's where that music degree comes in.
[1451.7s] That's right.
[1455.1s] It's the philosophical poetry unit that they do.
[1457.7s] Right, yeah, okay, sure.
[1460.4s] Yes, all the prose and-
[1462.1s] The sidewalk ends here, that's the sharp edge.
[1466.1s] Kyle Silverstein into this.
[1467.7s] Yeah.
[1471.9s] Good times.
[1474.7s] I only mention Patreon,
[1477.1s] which you can join us at patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast,
[1479.7s] but we only mention it because you get an episode
[1482.0s] dedicated to you when you join us over there.
[1484.4s] Like today's patron, Jonathan Wen.
[1489.0s] Jonathan. Thanks, Jonathan.
[1490.6s] Thank you.
[1491.4s] Jonathan is a classic patron.
[1493.9s] Jonathan's been with us for a very long time.
[1496.5s] It's so nice.
[1498.0s] Since January, no, yeah, January 8th, 2018.
[1503.9s] Do you know what episode released in January of 2018?
[1506.5s] Oh, I would love to know.
[1508.2s] I had like a whole different life.
[1509.0s] Okay, here's the part where you gotta give me
[1510.4s] a second to go find it.
[1511.3s] Okay.
[1512.7s] Well, I hadn't even met my husband then yet.
[1515.7s] Yeah, I hadn't met mine.
[1517.5s] Like this was a whole lifetime ago.
[1519.3s] It's amazing you're still here.
[1520.8s] I hadn't met any of y'all.
[1522.5s] Oh, and we hadn't met Kyle.
[1524.0s] Didn't meet Kyle for years until after that.
[1526.1s] Is that right?
[1526.9s] When did we meet Kyle?
[1527.8s] Yeah, Kyle was in LA.
[1529.6s] 2019, D&D Live.
[1531.7s] Right.
[1532.8s] Okay, so wow, we've known Kyle a long time.
[1535.6s] Good while.
[1536.4s] That's pretty nice.
[1537.9s] I love that.
[1538.7s] Not as long as we've known Jonathan,
[1540.3s] but still a really long time.
[1541.2s] Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure.
[1543.2s] So Jonathan, you got one up on me.
[1545.1s] Good job.
[1546.1s] What, yeah, what was coming out January 2018?
[1551.1s] We won't remember, but just tell us anyway.
[1554.3s] Why won't it let me search?
[1555.9s] Why won't it let me search?
[1559.0s] I'm gonna see if I can find it.
[1560.5s] I won't be able to.
[1561.5s] Russ is way better at this stuff than me, but.
[1564.4s] Everybody's doing it.
[1565.3s] Oh, if I expand the view so that I can see
[1567.8s] a hundred pieces rather than just 10.
[1569.6s] Oh, that'll be helpful.
[1570.5s] That's a good way to start.
[1571.3s] It goes much faster.
[1572.1s] Hey, there's actual episodes, not just planned ones.
[1574.7s] Uh, 2022, 2021, we're getting there.
[1579.3s] Okay.
[1580.1s] 2020, but then the episode.
[1583.1s] January of 2018, that was.
[1585.6s] Thank you, Kyle.
[1586.7s] Yeah, that was like episode 29, 30, 31,
[1591.4s] like things go sideways,
[1592.9s] a council meeting in Waterdeep,
[1594.2s] a Grant's Solstice vacation.
[1596.9s] I just had a little panic
[1598.1s] because I accidentally filtered the time window
[1600.6s] and I got to the end and it was like,
[1601.8s] there's only 40, where's, where's the first 40?
[1607.4s] Well, it sounds like there was a council meeting
[1609.0s] in Waterdeep and there was one of those
[1610.8s] that went really badly from like a gameplay
[1613.2s] kind of standpoint.
[1614.3s] And then the next one was better.
[1616.1s] Yeah.
[1616.9s] So probably it was the one that was better.
[1618.9s] There was one where Tom, Amy and I 100%
[1622.1s] did not know how to talk to humans.
[1623.9s] No.
[1625.3s] Like in game, we couldn't do it.
[1627.4s] Yeah.
[1628.3s] Yeah, we could not do it.
[1630.0s] And now we don't know how to roll dice.
[1632.1s] We only know how to talk to humans.
[1634.6s] Yeah, it says here,
[1635.8s] surrounded by a cult and unknown ally, Diem Dock.
[1639.7s] Yeah.
[1641.4s] That's the one.
[1642.8s] Wow.
[1643.7s] That was the one.
[1644.5s] I'm gonna go back and listen to this episode.
[1645.3s] Isn't that the bad one?
[1647.5s] No, that wasn't the bad one.
[1648.7s] Okay.
[1649.5s] That was where,
[1651.0s] oh, I feel like we can't talk too much about it
[1652.9s] because if they've only listened to these episodes.
[1654.2s] Exactly.
[1655.0s] Yeah, exactly.
[1656.5s] This was the one where we actually got information.
[1658.5s] Is it where the thing happened to Flint?
[1660.5s] No, no, it wasn't that one.
[1661.9s] It was where the thing first happened to Grant Sis.
[1664.6s] That thing.
[1666.3s] Just ask Jonathan.
[1667.4s] They remember.
[1668.3s] Jonathan knows.
[1669.1s] Jonathan.
[1670.0s] Again, thank you, Jonathan.
[1671.2s] We appreciate it.
[1672.0s] Yeah, thanks, Jonathan.
[1672.9s] Good trip down memory lane.
[1674.1s] Oh, it was fun.
[1675.1s] Solstice Vacation, this isn't spoilers,
[1677.3s] but this is where we tried to set Flint up.
[1680.2s] Oh, yeah.
[1681.1s] But then Grant Sis and everybody got shrunk down
[1684.9s] and taken prisoner by grunts.
[1686.6s] Oh, wow, grunks.
[1687.7s] Gosh, that was so long ago.
[1689.7s] Yeah.
[1690.6s] Love me a grung.
[1691.4s] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1692.2s] Wow.
[1693.1s] It's good times.
[1693.9s] That's fun.
[1694.8s] Okay, well this one.
[1695.6s] They remember that stuff.
[1696.4s] Hey, you know what?
[1697.5s] Thanks, Jonathan.
[1698.5s] Thanks for being here.
[1700.6s] Since the grung era.
[1702.0s] That's what we'll refer to it as.
[1704.2s] Yeah.
[1705.6s] It's good times.
[1706.5s] A little trip down memory lane.
[1707.4s] That's all.
[1708.2s] Yeah, that was fun.
[1709.1s] That's what tonight's been.
[1709.9s] Love it.
[1710.7s] Hanging out at the Goo Kang.
[1711.5s] Trip down there.
[1712.4s] Exactly.
[1713.2s] All right, well we hope to see you over
[1714.7s] on patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast like Jonathan's.
[1717.4s] Ah, sorry, I sold you again.
[1720.3s] But also we hope you're having a wonderful time
[1722.5s] and you're doing your best at what you can do today.
[1725.3s] And we love you and we hope you have a wonderful.
[1729.0s] Bye, Patreon.
[1730.1s] What?
[1730.9s] We'll talk to you very soon.
[1731.9s] Patreon, Patreon, Patreon, Patreon.
[1735.1s] Okay, love you, bye.
[1736.2s] Bye.
[1737.0s] Love you, bye.
[1740.0s] Okay.
[1742.4s] Still have the note in my hand
[1743.5s] and there's the note that was thrown in before.
[1745.3s] So we got two of them?
[1746.7s] Yes.
[1750.0s] Okay, I'm gonna grab one of the notes
[1753.3s] and I'm gonna go up
[1754.5s] and I'm gonna say, enough with the rage.
[1757.7s] Put these two notes right on your page.
[1760.3s] Help.
[1762.1s] No, I grabbed you, didn't I?
[1762.9s] Did you grab me?
[1763.7s] Yes.
[1764.6s] Okay, sorry, I heard grabbing of the notes
[1766.4s] and I was like, am I still ready?
[1768.7s] No, yeah, he grabbed your arm.
[1770.0s] Okay, and the notes.
[1771.5s] So both of you.
[1772.9s] Hang in there, kid.
[1775.1s] I'll be back.
[1775.9s] Both of you are in this memory now.
[1780.0s] Roll insight or intelligence.
[1785.0s] That's an eight.
[1788.0s] You go over to him, you're holding the notes,
[1790.4s] you're looking down at the page
[1791.8s] and you're trying to figure it out.
[1793.5s] You just can't quite piece it together.
[1794.9s] Either he hasn't got to the point in the song
[1797.8s] where the notes you're holding are gonna make sense.
[1801.6s] Something is not quite connected there yet
[1804.3s] and he has not responded to you
[1806.5s] or even acknowledged that you are present
[1808.6s] in this space right now.
[1810.1s] Rude.
[1811.5s] What a dick.
[1812.3s] I think that's probably the end of your turn.
[1815.1s] Yeah, sure, that's my turn.
[1816.2s] Cav.
[1817.7s] I'm still quite a distance from the memory of note
[1822.5s] that we're all kind of fixated on.
[1824.6s] It's definitely shifted in space
[1826.6s] so maybe come a little closer to you
[1828.5s] but you'd have to do either jump,
[1831.7s] as you've seen your friends do,
[1833.6s] jump between memories or propel this platform
[1837.6s] that you're on closer to to be able to get there.
[1840.5s] Is there the ability to throw?
[1844.2s] Like how far, is it close enough
[1846.3s] that I could throw something at it?
[1848.9s] Yeah, how good's your strength?
[1852.5s] My strength is okay.
[1854.5s] It's not amazing but it's okay.
[1856.4s] I guess it's ranged, it would be a ranged attack too
[1859.1s] so it could be Dex or whichever you'd prefer.
[1861.7s] That's okay, they're both okay.
[1863.2s] Both okay?
[1864.1s] Both all right.
[1864.9s] Cav is just a middle of the road kind of guy.
[1866.7s] Just really you.
[1867.6s] Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
[1869.2s] Just a little everything.
[1870.0s] Okay, yeah, you could absolutely try,
[1872.7s] and one of or any, you could try any of those things.
[1876.9s] Okay.
[1877.8s] Once you throw it, you're kinda committed but you know.
[1879.7s] Yeah.
[1880.5s] How heavy is the music box?
[1882.7s] It's like relatively small, right?
[1883.9s] Yeah, no, I mean it is the size of a music box.
[1886.9s] It doesn't feel like it's super heavy.
[1890.2s] Yeah, we'll say like mini football size.
[1892.1s] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1894.3s] Well, lucky for you, Cav was like mini football champion
[1898.0s] back growing up so it's got a pretty tight spiral.
[1901.1s] Love it.
[1902.4s] I'm gonna try to throw the music box at the memory.
[1906.0s] Okay.
[1906.8s] That Alydin and Bizard are in.
[1909.0s] Okay, whichever, yeah,
[1911.2s] just tell me which one you're rolling there.
[1914.4s] Let's do Dex for the hell of it.
[1916.3s] Okay.
[1917.8s] All right, adding my plus one, that's a 14.
[1920.8s] So you throw this and like the memory that they're in
[1925.2s] is spinning through space, so you throw it
[1929.5s] and it gets a decent spiral.
[1932.1s] Like it's not heyday, yeah.
[1935.7s] Real Uncle Rico situation.
[1936.9s] That's right.
[1937.9s] It starts to waver a little bit
[1939.7s] but maybe that's helping you.
[1941.9s] So it flies through the air,
[1944.3s] passes through another cloud of notes
[1946.3s] which do not affect it and it hits in
[1951.5s] and from your view it like hits with enough force
[1955.0s] that you think it should just like fly through this
[1956.9s] like an open window.
[1959.9s] Or see like there's a resistance to it
[1962.1s] and like almost like in like Looney Tunes
[1965.2s] when something's trying to go through some fabric
[1967.4s] like there's a bend, yeah.
[1970.2s] You see it do that until finally it snaps
[1973.6s] but when it snaps through
[1975.4s] you see more of these fractures around this memory
[1978.7s] start to develop around the edges
[1980.9s] and you see off and behind more of these horrors
[1985.7s] jumping between memories
[1987.3s] trying to get closer to this memory.
[1990.6s] Okay, well I mean I don't know
[1993.3s] if the extra cracks are both good or bad
[1996.3s] and also my pals are in there
[1998.3s] so there's a lot going on.
[2003.3s] All right, I guess in the meantime
[2005.3s] I'll use my movement to try to like get closer.
[2009.4s] Do you want to physically move through the space
[2011.7s] or do you wanna try the shield move that you had done?
[2014.8s] I'll try the shield move to kind of create that motor
[2019.1s] I guess we'll call it.
[2020.0s] You're almost dead, you don't wanna hurl yourself
[2022.8s] through like infinite space. Shockingly I don't.
[2026.7s] And I think we did a strength check
[2029.1s] to determine power and precision.
[2033.5s] That's a 19 on the die so it should be a dirty 20.
[2036.3s] You throw it, you see this happen,
[2037.8s] you quickly rush to the back
[2039.7s] to try and propel yourself closer to this memory.
[2043.3s] You strike the shield which as you turn around
[2046.1s] you look up and you see the banjo man
[2048.3s] like staring down at you.
[2051.5s] Waves coming off of his banjo
[2053.9s] and these flames covering him
[2057.2s] and you hit it and it propels you forward
[2061.1s] and away from the banjo man
[2062.3s] even like kind of knocks him back.
[2065.3s] Doesn't seem to damage him
[2066.6s] but just knocks him back in a way a little bit.
[2069.6s] Bonwyn make a dexterity saving throw please.
[2074.5s] 12.
[2075.3s] Because you're paying attention
[2077.2s] to like the monsters climbing up on
[2079.1s] you feel the ground move beneath you
[2081.1s] which causes you to stumble back a little bit.
[2083.0s] You're still standing almost like catches you
[2087.5s] before you fall off and puts you back
[2090.9s] as you find yourself now within 20 feet of this memory.
[2096.0s] Really putting all of our eggs
[2097.0s] in this memory basket aren't we?
[2098.6s] That's right.
[2099.5s] Well I mean that's the one all the whores are going to so.
[2104.8s] Not even the quivering hills.
[2111.7s] Okay it's the banjo man's turn.
[2114.1s] So he's going to beat his wings together
[2119.0s] in an attempt to put out the flames
[2121.7s] which Carla if you wanna roll a d6 for fire damage.
[2127.2s] Mm-hmm.
[2128.3s] Five.
[2129.6s] A million.
[2130.4s] Thank you.
[2131.3s] A million yes obviously.
[2132.1s] But also you don't fan fire to put it out so.
[2137.2s] Faze weird.
[2138.2s] Ah fuck you.
[2141.6s] So he beats his wings
[2143.1s] and from as you kind of turn around
[2146.6s] and look at him as you're floating and drifting away
[2150.0s] you see him surveying the scene around
[2154.7s] and then he locks eyes with Ever Baines
[2157.9s] and he flies as fast as he can straight into it.
[2168.0s] This fucking guy.
[2168.9s] This fucking guy.
[2172.1s] He flies straight into it
[2174.2s] which causes the entire memory
[2177.1s] that you see to shatter and go dark.
[2180.9s] Alydin it's your turn.
[2183.2s] I run over to Calder writing
[2186.3s] and I go to poke him.
[2190.3s] Your hand almost goes through him
[2192.6s] like you're not in this space
[2195.4s] or he's not in this space.
[2196.7s] One of the two.
[2199.4s] One of us isn't here.
[2200.5s] Neither of you can interact
[2202.3s] seemingly this way with each other.
[2204.3s] Okay.
[2206.5s] I say hello.
[2210.4s] There's no response.
[2212.0s] God this guy.
[2213.7s] Hey McFly.
[2216.6s] Why are you hitting yourself?
[2217.7s] Why are you hitting yourself?
[2219.9s] Just bully him more.
[2220.9s] Bully him more.
[2221.7s] Yes.
[2222.6s] So we have the music box now.
[2225.7s] Oh yeah.
[2226.6s] So yes the music box came through
[2230.1s] and then looking back out
[2231.6s] like you see Bonwyn and Cav
[2235.2s] and they are getting closer
[2237.0s] but you're also seeing fractures
[2238.8s] across like a window pane
[2241.3s] where you came in.
[2244.0s] Bazaar what happens to us
[2247.1s] if that smashes?
[2249.4s] I really can't say
[2250.5s] but it wouldn't be a good day.
[2252.9s] Oh God.
[2254.3s] Okay.
[2255.3s] Alydin runs to pick up the music box
[2260.0s] and can I interact with anything in this space
[2264.7s] or is it all just kind of like hands going through it?
[2268.2s] We are witnessing the memory.
[2270.6s] More like that.
[2271.7s] Yeah.
[2272.5s] Okay.
[2275.7s] And do we have any notes?
[2277.7s] There are two notes in the music box in this space.
[2284.1s] I take both notes and the music box
[2286.4s] and I just kind of bring them over to Calder
[2288.2s] and like.
[2289.5s] Uh?
[2295.3s] Does that, do you want me to roll for uh?
[2298.9s] Does the muse move him based on the uh?
[2303.3s] The expert presentation.
[2305.3s] Your Vanna Whiting does not appear
[2309.2s] to make him look at you.
[2311.3s] Oh this fucking guy.
[2313.1s] Kick up the Sajak protocol instead.
[2315.3s] Alydin, he hasn't heard a word we said.
[2320.1s] Maybe we need to put the idea straight into his head.
[2323.4s] Oh I love this.
[2325.2s] I take one of the notes and I like
[2330.8s] awkwardly push it into the back of his head.
[2335.3s] Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool.
[2339.1s] Half hoping it just kind of goes through him
[2341.1s] the way that my hand did but.
[2343.5s] Absolutely the only thing I, when you said that
[2345.1s] I was like, this is the only thing I can think of
[2346.8s] at this point.
[2347.7s] Oh yeah, it was gonna be like,
[2348.5s] can we move over to the side of him?
[2350.7s] Get in there, inception.
[2352.3s] Right?
[2353.4s] You slide the note into the back of his head.
[2357.0s] Bizarre, you are watching this.
[2358.6s] You see it come out like the other side.
[2360.8s] Like it's like glowing and coming through.
[2364.0s] You look down at the page that he's writing on.
[2369.8s] Make an intelligence or performance check.
[2374.9s] Bizarre.
[2376.3s] Okey dokey.
[2377.5s] Meanwhile, I'm just sliding it through his head
[2379.5s] like spaghetti.
[2380.5s] There's nothing in there.
[2383.1s] Oh, the rolls tonight, that's a nine.
[2385.8s] Yeesh.
[2387.3s] Can I look at them?
[2388.7s] You, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so.
[2392.1s] So you notice that it's not doing anything, right?
[2396.5s] You also make, what did I say?
[2398.5s] Intelligence or performance check.
[2399.8s] I notice him looking down and I'm like,
[2401.7s] uh, performance or intelligence?
[2405.5s] Yes.
[2406.9s] I'll do, oh fuck, five, that's with the bonus.
[2410.3s] And rolls are.
[2411.3s] I don't know how to read music.
[2413.1s] I've never gone to school for actual anything
[2415.9s] so I can read just.
[2416.8s] For fighting or dance.
[2417.9s] Okay.
[2418.8s] None of those things.
[2420.0s] We're gonna leave you there for a moment.
[2422.5s] Bonwyn, it's your turn.
[2424.3s] You've just been propelled forward
[2425.9s] which you've seen has knocked some of the horrors off.
[2428.6s] There's a couple of them still on the platform.
[2430.5s] You've seen Everbanks shattered into the ether.
[2433.7s] So you're within, what did I say?
[2435.3s] 20 feet of this memory.
[2437.3s] Kind of just want to say like,
[2438.6s] we're doing dwarf tossing.
[2440.4s] My calf is so weak.
[2442.0s] But it's D&D so he's not.
[2443.5s] He's actually just as strong as he is
[2445.3s] even though he has two hips.
[2446.4s] But also shattering memory.
[2450.3s] If you jump through, are we all gonna die?
[2452.9s] Hmm.
[2454.8s] That is just my concern,
[2456.1s] being a person inside of this memory.
[2458.6s] Get there.
[2459.5s] I mean this is a fair concern, absolutely.
[2461.6s] Okay then, I'm going to try to just move us closer.
[2465.5s] Like let's get like right there, right?
[2467.7s] Even if we're not gonna jump in.
[2469.0s] Yeah, cause we need to jump out at some point.
[2471.9s] We could be the getaway helicopter for them,
[2473.9s] absolutely. Get the cars.
[2475.6s] Start the car.
[2477.4s] Wheel man.
[2478.5s] Okay, great.
[2479.8s] Let's kill these bitches.
[2481.1s] What are you using to maneuver yourself?
[2483.6s] Kav was using his shield and hammer.
[2486.6s] Yes.
[2489.3s] She takes Kav's shield and hammer.
[2492.1s] I mean absolutely.
[2493.0s] When in need, take whatever you need.
[2494.9s] But it's just sound, right?
[2496.5s] Like I just need it.
[2498.2s] So maybe I'm like that X-Man.
[2500.6s] Secretly guys, I've actually studied opera.
[2503.4s] You didn't know that.
[2504.3s] It hasn't come up.
[2506.4s] But as a child, so I just like launch into,
[2510.9s] I was gonna say an aria,
[2512.1s] but I feel like Bonwyn would actually be like a tenor.
[2517.1s] Even if Carla isn't.
[2518.8s] She's got those big wide lungs, you know?
[2521.8s] Absolutely.
[2522.7s] Yeah.
[2523.5s] So let's try that.
[2524.3s] Let's try that.
[2525.2s] Make a performance check.
[2527.5s] For fuck's sake.
[2530.0s] I can't believe these rolls tonight, you guys.
[2531.8s] I haven't rolled higher than like a six all night.
[2535.0s] Oh my God.
[2535.8s] I've had good rolls so far.
[2536.9s] Oh God, did I just curse myself?
[2538.3s] Yeah, I just said that.
[2540.2s] So that was a three.
[2542.5s] Okay.
[2543.3s] Oh, just cracks.
[2545.4s] It's just nothing.
[2546.5s] Something, yeah.
[2548.3s] It's frog in your throat.
[2549.5s] You've forgotten how to sing.
[2553.0s] Oh no.
[2555.8s] You have the memory of going through these opera classes
[2560.3s] and like doing all of that.
[2561.6s] But as you go to belt it out,
[2562.8s] like it doesn't come to you.
[2564.4s] It doesn't work anymore.
[2565.7s] Too bad my one core memory's gone, guys.
[2567.7s] I don't remember shit now.
[2569.0s] Yeah.
[2570.2s] Anything else you would like to try to do?
[2572.2s] Bonus action style.
[2575.3s] Or I guess action.
[2576.1s] That feels like a bonus action to go go.
[2580.7s] Where's my guy?
[2581.9s] Is he still just floating around on fire?
[2584.3s] He's no longer on fire.
[2585.9s] He is some distance away
[2587.6s] because he like torpedoed himself through your memory.
[2590.4s] Right.
[2591.5s] What kind of distance away?
[2593.1s] 50 to 60.
[2595.7s] Let's try and light him up again.
[2597.2s] Okay.
[2598.9s] So I'm going to try and hit him.
[2600.6s] I'm going to light an arrow.
[2603.3s] Try and shoot him.
[2604.1s] Fuck me.
[2608.7s] That's an 11.
[2612.2s] Yeah.
[2613.9s] Wow.
[2614.8s] 11 does not hit.
[2615.9s] All my dice are in jail.
[2619.3s] Just going to have to pop over to your house real quick.
[2621.0s] Grab another G20.
[2621.9s] Sure, sure, sure, sure.
[2622.7s] They're all fucking dead to me right now.
[2625.8s] So this arrow goes through and just misses him.
[2630.2s] And he turns back and you see these strings again
[2633.7s] pulling at his smile and his eyes wide.
[2636.7s] And I give him a.
[2639.3s] I blew a kiss.
[2640.7s] There was no sound.
[2642.6s] Because Bonwyn's like, fuck this guy.
[2644.7s] Absolutely.
[2645.6s] He just blew up Everpaints.
[2647.8s] And I maybe don't even remember that
[2649.6s] because I don't know what has happened
[2651.6s] with this memory, but I'm really tired
[2655.2s] of his bullshit.
[2656.1s] Yeah, no, understandably so.
[2657.6s] We have been fighting him for seven years.
[2659.5s] Yeah.
[2660.3s] Exactly.
[2661.1s] The horrors are swarming the memory
[2664.4s] that Bizard and Alydin are in.
[2668.4s] You see them climbing up and picking away at it
[2671.0s] as you're trying to get closer.
[2672.5s] Someone fight them.
[2675.1s] Bizard, it's your turn.
[2676.4s] You hear this pecking and chipping away
[2680.0s] coming from outside.
[2682.0s] And you would be able to have,
[2683.9s] you would have line of sight on Bonwyn and Cav now.
[2687.1s] Okay.
[2688.5s] And this will be the last turn that you have to speak.
[2690.5s] At the end of this turn,
[2691.7s] you will be able to not speak
[2693.3s] in rhyming couplet anymore.
[2695.0s] Awesome.
[2695.9s] I'm gonna look at Alydin and say,
[2697.6s] I'm at a loss of what to do
[2699.6s] and if we don't make it out,
[2700.9s] I'm sorry, I failed you.
[2702.6s] That's loser talk.
[2706.3s] It is.
[2709.1s] Kyle respects that.
[2711.8s] Strong loser talk.
[2714.7s] Yeah, I'm really tempted to,
[2716.9s] the only thing I have is like,
[2718.9s] well, it's a con save.
[2720.3s] So,
[2722.6s] I'm gonna,
[2724.4s] I'm gonna cast Frostbite on one of the,
[2726.9s] one of the little minions crawling around.
[2729.9s] And since it,
[2731.7s] well, it is up to you Russ,
[2733.0s] but it causes the frost to form on one creature.
[2736.0s] So there's no like piercing the veil that's going on.
[2739.0s] Okay, yeah, absolutely.
[2740.5s] Yeah.
[2741.3s] So that's our con save.
[2742.2s] Con save DC 14.
[2743.5s] How about a five?
[2745.3s] Yeah, that's not gonna do it, so.
[2750.3s] These rolls tonight,
[2751.6s] that's gonna be three frost damage.
[2753.6s] Okay.
[2755.1s] You see this creature,
[2757.8s] but all of you see this creature begin to freeze
[2761.1s] and like stick to the side of this platform
[2763.9s] as more start to try and get over it.
[2766.5s] And as you do that,
[2767.4s] you look and you see that there are still,
[2770.3s] Bonwyn and Cav have two more of the music notes.
[2772.7s] I'm gonna try to yell out at them,
[2774.9s] throw those music notes in here
[2776.7s] and maybe we can get them in his ear.
[2778.8s] And we like, no one knows why he's doing this.
[2782.0s] Totally.
[2782.8s] Like a weird time to try out a new bit.
[2785.1s] I've heard it cause we've been like,
[2786.9s] True.
[2787.7s] Yeah, we've been so far away,
[2788.8s] we might not even know.
[2789.8s] Yeah, no clue in on it.
[2791.7s] Such a weird time to start out a new aspect,
[2793.8s] but I guess like,
[2795.2s] battle brings out different things in people.
[2796.7s] You're allowed to reinvent yourself whenever you want,
[2798.5s] I guess.
[2799.4s] Roll me a D20 before we finish your turn there
[2802.4s] for Bazaard.
[2803.9s] All right.
[2806.3s] It's a six.
[2807.8s] Okay.
[2808.9s] Cool beans. Just a six.
[2810.9s] Roll me D100, please.
[2813.9s] Ah, shit.
[2815.9s] That's okay.
[2816.9s] This is necessary.
[2819.1s] All right, 67.
[2820.6s] Nope, yeah, 67.
[2822.2s] Rhyming couplets again?
[2823.4s] No, Iambic Pantamani.
[2825.2s] No, no, I'm...
[2828.6s] My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun.
[2832.1s] But I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday,
[2834.7s] or why I walked into a room.
[2836.8s] Roll me a D6, please.
[2839.1s] Two.
[2840.1s] On an even number,
[2841.5s] you gain plus two to your AC for one minute.
[2844.7s] Oh, what?
[2845.5s] That's so much better than couplets.
[2847.5s] That's really dope.
[2848.6s] Yeah, so that puts me to 16.
[2851.9s] How does that transfer in game?
[2855.0s] Does he just feel super confident all of a sudden,
[2858.9s] like, I can do anything?
[2860.6s] Feels like he could dodge a little more shit.
[2862.3s] Just.
[2863.4s] Yeah, punch me, punch me.
[2864.7s] Is it like one of those things?
[2865.8s] That's right.
[2866.6s] No, that's how Houdini died.
[2867.8s] Yeah, that's right.
[2868.6s] Don't do it.
[2869.5s] Don't do it.
[2870.5s] Okay, with that we go to Cav,
[2872.9s] who you've just heard the couplets
[2876.2s] of Bizard calling for the notes.
[2879.4s] Okay, am I close enough to like,
[2882.6s] just step in to this memory?
[2885.5s] Yeah.
[2886.3s] I guess, well, maybe not.
[2887.4s] Not quite.
[2888.2s] It didn't quite work with the singing there.
[2890.6s] Yeah, because Bonwyn wasn't able to propel you forward.
[2892.9s] Like, you're all kind of like moving.
[2895.7s] These two memory, or the platform that you're on
[2898.1s] and the memory are like moving together now.
[2900.5s] So you're not quite close enough.
[2903.0s] I don't know how far Cav can jump.
[2907.1s] How far can he throw?
[2908.9s] Or how far can he throw?
[2909.8s] I mean, we've established he's okay at throwing.
[2911.4s] The throwing's been on point so far.
[2913.6s] Now, Javelin?
[2914.7s] Not as sure.
[2916.0s] Okay, I'll try and hit the shield again
[2919.7s] to move us closer.
[2921.2s] Okay.
[2922.0s] As like my movement portion of things.
[2923.9s] Sounds good.
[2924.7s] Give me a strength.
[2926.9s] That's a 12 plus one, so 13.
[2929.6s] Okay, you hit it and you hit it like,
[2934.1s] you feel like you hit it harder than you want to
[2936.4s] and this platform begins to move quickly
[2939.9s] towards the memory.
[2942.4s] Can make a dexterity saving throw
[2944.6s] to try and stop it from crashing into the memory
[2949.3s] or you can let them collide.
[2951.7s] I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna try to do like a little
[2955.1s] like extra tap on the shield to like,
[2958.9s] buffer us a little bit.
[2960.1s] To like course correct the other way, yeah.
[2961.5s] Buy it instead of into it.
[2963.4s] Okay.
[2964.4s] Great.
[2966.0s] Do you see the fear in our eyes
[2967.5s] as we see you hurling towards us?
[2969.7s] Like, coming in hot.
[2972.8s] That's for Dex this time, that was a 15,
[2975.9s] so 16 overall.
[2977.7s] Okay.
[2978.7s] So yeah, you see yourself,
[2981.7s] you see you and Bonwyn moving quickly towards it
[2984.5s] and you give that little course correct,
[2986.1s] which slows you down and like you bump into,
[2991.6s] which causes some of these horrors to climb up
[2993.8s] on top of the platform you're on now,
[2996.9s] but you are right next to it.
[3000.0s] So you bump into it.
[3001.3s] You hear like a little shatter down towards the bottom
[3004.8s] where you hit, but it's still standing.
[3008.1s] Okay, do I still have control of the notes as well?
[3013.3s] Or had they been kind of just like put to the side
[3016.3s] while we were figuring shit out?
[3017.7s] One of you has to have them, I think.
[3019.7s] So like they're there.
[3022.1s] If I have them, I wanna give them to Bonwyn.
[3025.2s] Okay.
[3026.1s] Because she'll be next up before I get to go again.
[3028.6s] So I'll hand them over and say like,
[3030.8s] we gotta get those in there.
[3032.4s] You hear the banjo man, his song begins to play louder
[3037.7s] and like the loop of it is becoming
[3040.9s] more and more apparent.
[3042.9s] Like he is playing with ferocity.
[3045.3s] You hear all of the memories around you splintering.
[3049.8s] You see little fractures of them flying off
[3052.9s] and he's in the middle of this space.
[3055.4s] Like he's in this space.
[3057.3s] You see now the strings being strung up
[3059.9s] to some high up area.
[3063.1s] And he is playing with such ferocity
[3067.7s] that things around you are fracturing,
[3070.7s] are breaking, are falling apart.
