1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,480
Dumbgeons and Dragons begins in a moment.

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,120
It's a beautiful day in Vintersmouth and we hear the sound of children running

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:16,399
through the playground outside of the school, which has been well repaired and

4
00:00:16,399 --> 00:00:18,920
classes have actually started this past week.

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:26,960
We see Tally and Alydin walking through the playground, eyeing up a flagpole in

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,719
the middle of the school grounds.

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,880
So, Alydin, you've been like, we've been like trying to, trying to practice, but

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,000
it seems to only be able to get to do it like every, every once in a while.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,399
Do you want to like try it right now?

10
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:45,759
Where you, where you, where you, where you like point and then you just go?

11
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:49,039
What?

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,039
Oh, come on.

13
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:54,320
It's like, we do this like every other day at least where, where you

14
00:00:54,799 --> 00:01:00,520
visualize yourself some, some distance over there, and then you make yourself

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,239
go and then there's like some water and some swirling things and then

16
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:05,599
bam, you're over there.

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,480
Is this a dream you had?

18
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:11,000
No.

19
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:15,159
Quentin, do you remember seeing Alydin do that the other day?

20
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:15,560
Right?

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,000
Yeah.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,920
We all saw that.

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:17,920
Yeah.

24
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:21,079
And then you were there and then you were over there.

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,000
And you're a little bit wet.

26
00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:22,920
Yeah.

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,879
You were a little, and you like, and shook your hair out like a dog.

28
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:27,519
Remember?

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,040
I'm feeling gaslit and I really wild.

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,879
I'm just gasanding.

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,760
I haven't been here in 10 months.

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,840
I have no idea what's going on.

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,480
Did Alydin learn a new spell?

34
00:01:43,039 --> 00:01:44,519
Tally, you're crazy.

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,840
I don't know what you're talking about.

36
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:50,400
Tally walks over to Quentin and say, give me, can I have your ball for a second?

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:50,719
Okay.

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Yeah, of course.

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,320
Okay, thanks.

40
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,760
And she turns towards the school and hucks it on top of the building.

41
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,960
Rude.

42
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,560
Thank you.

43
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,680
Been working.

44
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,359
I mean, Alydin, you're going to get it back, right?

45
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Yeah.

46
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:03,320
Now just do what you've been doing.

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,280
Just go up there and get it back for me.

48
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,080
Can you try?

49
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:18,319
Alydin walks up to the, to the edge of the school and just jumps.

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,840
Terrible vertical.

51
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:22,719
I'll let it swerve.

52
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:33,079
Reaches up and see, I don't know if I can do it on command, but she's going to try to mage hand that business to get the ball.

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:33,519
Okay.

54
00:02:33,959 --> 00:02:36,199
Make, you have mage hand.

55
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:37,239
And it's a cantrip.

56
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:37,840
Okay, cool.

57
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:40,319
Yeah, but I haven't really used it in public.

58
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:41,239
So I'm like, really it.

59
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:41,840
Okay.

60
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,599
A little self-conscious about my mage hand.

61
00:02:43,799 --> 00:02:44,319
Yeah.

62
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,639
As you focus, roll arcana.

63
00:02:48,359 --> 00:02:51,239
Just, we'll just use that as a base for.

64
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,400
I'm going to borrow your dice.

65
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,040
Yeah, for sure.

66
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,080
We'll just use that as a base for how confident you are in making this happen.

67
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Amy is not very confident.

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,040
I can't.

69
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:07,000
Welcome back, everybody.

70
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,600
It's a one.

71
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,840
Make sure Russ keeps using those dice and he's rolling damage on us.

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,879
He's going to roll 20s.

73
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:16,240
Yeah.

74
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,120
I'm going to roll ones.

75
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,200
Shut up.

76
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,320
I mean, it's, it's still.

77
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:19,640
Whatever.

78
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:20,840
So we're just proving that the dice works.

79
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,920
I walk up to the school and I'm like, okay.

80
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:31,520
And I reach my hand out and like squint and I screw my face up.

81
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,360
And I peek out from one eye.

82
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,879
You're straining and everybody's kind of crowded around watching you.

83
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:43,280
And you feel like the mage hand flicker.

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,240
You've done it before.

85
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,240
You know what it's supposed to do and look like, and you feel it like

86
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,560
flicker and then you hear like a little gasp and you close your eyes.

87
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:55,960
One more time and you feel like you are being swept away in a river.

88
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,039
Water is rushing around you.

89
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:03,360
You feel like fabrics being pulled all around your body.

90
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:07,439
And then suddenly you feel between your hands.

91
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:09,360
You're grasping onto the flag pole.

92
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:11,400
The top of it.

93
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:13,080
Correct.

94
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,560
Everybody turns and looks and tally screams up.

95
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,360
I knew you could do it again.

96
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,040
Told you.

97
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,040
Get my ball.

98
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:28,720
Dumbgeons and Dragons is a D&D actual play podcast and I'm your

Also with me today is Amy More as Alydin, she, her.

101
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,680
We'd be sweating now.

102
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,680

103
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,720
And his new dad.

104
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,040
And Tom Laird is Kavlaran Goldweave, he, him.

105
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,040
I mean, I don't know if I would call what I did work, but.

106
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,560
Yeah, I was there.

114
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:13,439
Let's play.

115
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:19,000
Bonwyn, it's been a while since we've seen you, since the trial has

116
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,639
ended, you've been, even during the trial, you've been spending time

117
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:29,360
catching up on the work that you couldn't do while the Forge was out.

118
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:34,800
Yeah, long list of custom jobs, including the job for Follon

119
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,360
Varam and his team of adventurers who, you know, are due in town

120
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,839
today and you're just putting the finishing touches on those things.

121
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:47,879
You see Thane cleaning up their workstation and they come over and

122
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:54,079
they say, so I don't, I don't know exactly like how we could have

123
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:59,600
done this sooner, but Nina taking office even as acting mayor has

124
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,639
been really great.

125
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:05,399
Yeah, I kind of hate to admit it, but I mean, she knows how to

126
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:10,600
get things done in a way that, you know, the last mayor certainly

127
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:12,280
did not.

128
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,800
I mean, I still wouldn't trust her with anything, but

129
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,920
I heard she was like an undercover, like a plant from Kingstown.

130
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Huh?

131
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:26,439
Like sent long time ago to kind of get in there.

132
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,879
I feel like they really allowed her to do some crimes as part of

133
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:33,439
her undercover work, but I guess you'd have to.

134
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:39,680
I don't know what a political undercover nature is, but yeah,

135
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,040
she's been doing, like there's, they're planning an election, but

136
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,600
like if she's running, I might just vote for her.

137
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,759
Have you seen they're tearing up the gold on the, on the

138
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:53,600
rich side of town and like reinvesting it everywhere?

139
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,759
Yeah, it's, it's kind of amazing actually.

140
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:01,840
Business association meetings are going to be, I think a lot

141
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,240
more chill or they're just going to have to invent things

142
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,079
to complain about.

143
00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:10,159
Yeah, I think I don't, I don't foresee a change in the tenor of

144
00:07:10,159 --> 00:07:16,919
attitudes at the business association meetings, but I don't know, generally

145
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:20,800
it's just like kind of, kind of good from what I've seen.

146
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,240
I mean, I feel like I've barely left the forge, but.

147
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:25,240
No, you've been locked up here.

148
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,759
You're doing some great stuff and it's kind of walks over to one of

149
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:33,479
the tables where you have like stacks and stacks of all of the

150
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,680
wrapped boxes that you package all of your items in.

151
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,360
It's like, I haven't seen you pump out this much, this much stuff

152
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,160
in a, in a long time.

153
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,200
Like, is it, is it the eyes?

154
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,960
Like, is that helping?

155
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,439
Oh, um.

156
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,800
Sorry, I know.

157
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
No, I mean, that's, you, you have eyes.

158
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,080
You can see my eyes, you know.

159
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,040
Um, that they're on fire.

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:58,480
Yeah.

161
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,240
Yeah, yeah.

162
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,120
Yeah.

163
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,600
It's, uh, maybe it is.

164
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,080
I don't know.

165
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:08,520
Also, it just felt really good to be kind of back to normal, just

166
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,759
like tongs and hammer and using my brain and designing and rather than

167
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,400
all of the, uh, terrible, weird, spooky stuff that's been happening.

168
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,439
Yeah.

169
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,080
You know?

170
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:23,520
I mean, it's still been weird.

171
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Uh, like, yeah.

172
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,680
I mean, can I point at my.

173
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:31,759
Yeah, no, I mean, the eyes, rainbows coming out of, uh, puddles

174
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,600
in the middle of the street and thinking you see something in

175
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,480
the reflection of a mirror.

176
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,799
It's not really there.

177
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,240
Like a forest or something.

178
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:43,159
There's things happening.

179
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:44,159
Yeah.

180
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:45,439
Yeah.

181
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,279
I don't know about that last one.

182
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:47,919
What do you mean?

183
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,799
Oh, well, uh, I was walking by mirrors, mirrors, mirrors.

184
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,480
And, uh, of course.

185
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:56,200
And you got to check your look as you go by.

186
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,639
You can't not look in a mirror when you walk past it.

187
00:08:58,639 --> 00:08:59,399
You got it.

188
00:08:59,399 --> 00:08:59,919
Exactly.

189
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,360
And it is by the way.

190
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:02,120
You look great.

191
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:02,399
Thank you.

192
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:02,759
Thank you.

193
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:05,279
I was, uh, I wasn't fishing for compliments.

194
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:08,320
There was more just saying how this morning I walked by mirrors,

195
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,919
mirrors, mirrors, caught me, caught a second me, caught a third, not me,

196
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:18,120
somebody else walking through a forested space, then a me and then

197
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,960
backtrack there's a me again.

198
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,200
Uh, so.

199
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,800
So not, was it you in a forested space?

200
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,800
No, not me, somebody else.

201
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,320
Uh, just, no, I'd never seen the before in my life.

202
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:35,120
They were, they had a very, like, I don't know how to describe it.

203
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,800
Like a floral attitude.

204
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,240
Like they were like, there were like vine, they were dressing

205
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,879
themselves in like vines and roughage.

206
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,800
I, that's the only way I could like lettuce leaves.

207
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:47,360
I'm sure it wasn't lettuce leaves.

208
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,200
It was out of my peripheral, but I mean, it would take your brain

209
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,080
a minute to just like catch up with what you even saw.

210
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Did the forest look familiar?

211
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,519
Like it, was it like verboten?

212
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:57,960
Was it something local?

213
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,960
I mean, it looked like a forest, but it definitely didn't

214
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,360
look like any like regular paths that we walked through verboten.

215
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:05,879
Hmm.

216
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,639
Well, I think that might be a you thing thing, or at least I have

217
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:12,920
not seen any images for us, but I mean.

218
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:13,440
Yeah.

219
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,120
So I should probably, I should probably talk to somebody about that then.

220
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:19,800
Um, okay.

221
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:20,400
Yeah.

222
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:21,360
Yeah.

223
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:21,680
Great.

224
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:22,400
Great.

225
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,519
I mean, when Bazaar's back, he would be good.

226
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:26,040
You know what?

227
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,759
I just default to asking him about anything that's weird.

228
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,680
And that's probably not fair.

229
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:32,880
But he knows the most about weird stuff.

230
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,720
He does seem, he does seem to have a lot.

231
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,680
And if not, he's got a lot of books that seem to have even more weird stuff in them.

232
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:39,960
So that's super helpful.

233
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,680
Yeah.

234
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,720
But maybe later we should, let's do a walk by mirrors, mirrors,

235
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,680
mirrors, and see, see what we can see.

236
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:47,680
Maybe they're playing tricks.

237
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,480
Maybe it's more of this weird stuff.

238
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,640
Maybe there's one magic mirror and it's just that.

239
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,280
Yeah.

240
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:52,800
Yeah.

241
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,480
It could be that it could also be why we've been seeing like

242
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,480
animal shaped smoke coming out of Jimny's.

243
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,159
Those things could be related.

244
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,800
But around here lately, who knows?

245
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:08,800
Hear a knock at the door and it slowly opens.

246
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,399
And Follan Varam followed by five other people come in behind him.

247
00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:17,080
He says, sorry to bug you, Bonwyn.

248
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:18,560
No bother at all.

249
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:19,560
I've been waiting.

250
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:21,320
I have this stack.

251
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,560
It is, I maybe shouldn't have wrapped so much.

252
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,000
I normally do for every custom job.

253
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,679
I do the wrap, but yes, no, it's good for you.

254
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,240
Good to reveal absolutely all along the way.

255
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:36,200
Now, this is wonderful.

256
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,639
Thank you.

257
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,559
Russ, there's another knock on the door and Cav opens the door

258
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,000
and it's like, oh, it's always a lineup here.

259
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,679
Cav, Cav, you can come in, too.

260
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,879
You can come in, too.

261
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,879
OK, I'll just I'll hang over here till they're all done, I guess.

262
00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:57,480
Well, we're doing like a big reveal thing.

263
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,519
It might be a while.

264
00:11:58,519 --> 00:11:59,560
Oh, OK.

265
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,120
I'll see all the see all the things.

266
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,680
I do. I mean, you're welcome to stay.

267
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,560
I think there is that's OK with you.

268
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:05,800
Of course. This is my Cav.

269
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,360
You guys met, right?

270
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,080
Yeah, I think so.

271
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,440
I'm not great with names, though.

272
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,000
Sorry. Oh, that's OK.

273
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,320
Follan Varam, nice to meet you.

274
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,080
Cav, Cav Lauren for if you want to extend.

275
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,360
You're the one that the trial.

276
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

277
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,120
That was me.

278
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,519
Our own little celebrity, Cav Lauren.

279
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:27,240
Really put a spin on the whole town here.

280
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,320
I mean, when I came, you were complaining, not complaining.

281
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,560
You were stating.

282
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:35,320
I mean, I was probably complaining that there was just a lack of funding,

283
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,639
at least on this side of the town, and that seems to be turned right around.

284
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:40,000
Yeah, it's true.

285
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,159
It's pretty great.

286
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:43,279
It is. School's open again.

287
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:44,840
Oh, amazing. Amazing.

288
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,000
Yeah. You worked at City Hall, didn't you?

289
00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:53,840
I mean, I don't know if I would call what I did work, but yeah, I was there.

290
00:12:54,560 --> 00:13:00,759
So did they like because of the trial thing, did you like lose your position

291
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:02,960
or like are you still working there?

292
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,879
Like, look, I'm not entirely sure.

293
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:09,960
No one has like come to get me and I haven't been by to like

294
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,080
see if I still work there.

295
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,320
Are you still getting paid?

296
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720
I can say as long as the checks clear.

297
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,600
They keep like slipping,

298
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,879
slipping some money under my door every couple of weeks.

299
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:22,240
So they're paying you under your door.

300
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:25,919
Yeah, isn't that how everyone does it?

301
00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:27,759
I got to talk to Oak.

302
00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:30,200
You're just finding random money in your pockets.

303
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,000
Oak is sneaking in and slipping.

304
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,799
Oh, this is my bonus.

305
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,639
We cut back to the school

306
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:44,759
and several people have come to help you back down,

307
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:47,519
Alydin, because whatever you've done to get up here,

308
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,720
you weren't able to replicate it to get back down.

309
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,680
That's embarrassing.

310
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,040
Surely you just slid down and went, whee.

311
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:54,880
Yeah, right. I'm a kid.

312
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,240
You're in a flake wall.

313
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Anyways, there's a couple of people who have caught you at the bottom.

314
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,840
And are you doing OK?

315
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,080
Oh, yeah. Mm hmm.

316
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,440
OK. Yeah, no.

317
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Tally rushes over.

318
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,360
See, you can.

319
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,760
It's like you're you're swept up in something and then you can move.

320
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,960
You've been doing I don't know why you can't remember.

321
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,320
Maybe you lose your memory.

322
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,840
Do you remember doing it right now?

323
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,000
Yes. OK.

324
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,720
How long have I been doing this for?

325
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,639
Can you get my ball from the roof?

326
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:26,120
I'll work on it.

327
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,080
You can like, I can't just move.

328
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,039
Well, we saw it.

329
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:32,120
You ended up on the flagpole.

330
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,639
I ended up on the flagpole.

331
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:35,000
That's true. She's got to work.

332
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,919
She's got to work on it.

333
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:37,679
She's got to practice next time.

334
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,000
Next time you get up on the roof.

335
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,879
Can you just get my ball back for me, though?

336
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:42,279
Yeah, for sure.

337
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:43,759
OK, thanks, Alydin.

338
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:45,720
Well, you've been doing it since you got back from that place

339
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,720
that you talked about and then you had those dreams

340
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,360
that you were talking about with the person

341
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,639
who said like some I can't remember exactly what they said,

342
00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:58,040
but it sounded very scary in the dream.

343
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,200
And then you started doing that.

344
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:04,360
You like jumped down the street, you said.

345
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,000
And then you've been practicing.

346
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,279
Listen, Tali, come here.

347
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:09,200
OK, come here. I'm here.

348
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,160
You have to shh.

349
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:11,600
Why?

350
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,720
About because I don't know what's going on.

351
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:20,120
And obviously, I'm not very good at it yet.

352
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,480
OK, yeah, well, practice makes better.

353
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,360
Well, yeah, you don't necessarily need perfection.

354
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,279
You told me that.

355
00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:31,120
You don't need to be throwing kids balls up on the roof

356
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,000
and then telling me to go get it.

357
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,560
There was a crowd of kids.

358
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,639
They were excited.

359
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:39,000
No, you looked great.

360
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,800
You were up on the flagpole.

361
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,639
The wind was blowing.

362
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:44,920
The nice mist coming off of you

363
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,440
looked really elegant.

364
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,320
I'm just saying you looked like a hero.

365
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,920
I didn't get the ball.

366
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,640
Quentin doesn't care about that ball.

367
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,320
You look over.

368
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,360
Quentin's just sitting sadly on the street.

369
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,920
Bouncing an invisible ball.

370
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,440
I throw balls up on the top of the roof every other day.

371
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,160
It's fine.

372
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,240
We'll get it back down.

373
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,280
I know we will.

374
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,480
I'm just saying he can go up there and get it right now.

375
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,320
He's just lazy.

376
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,160
Put me on stage.

377
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,680
I won't put you on the stage anymore.

378
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,360
I was just trying a pressure tactic.

379
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,400
Well, I didn't like it and it wasn't appreciated.

380
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,360
I'm sorry.

381
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,640
Now I feel silly.

382
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,480
I'm sorry.

383
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,920
So you want to go to the Dembuns though?

384
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,520
I mean, yeah.

385
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,800
Maybe go check on Bonwyn.

386
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,280
We haven't seen Bonwyn in a while.

387
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,760
She's been very busy.

388
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,280
She has been very busy.

389
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:44,000
Yeah, we could go to the Dembuns though and get some stuff

390
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,120
and then go see Bonwyn.

391
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,279
Let's bring traits.

392
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:49,199
OK, let's go.

393
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,839
Back at the Forge, Follan and all of his crew

394
00:16:58,839 --> 00:17:01,079
have tested everything out, have brought everything out.

395
00:17:01,079 --> 00:17:04,399
Everybody is very thrilled with all of the work

396
00:17:04,399 --> 00:17:04,839
you've done.

397
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:07,240
Follan comes over, I know we've got to settle up,

398
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,839
but this is amazing work.

399
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:14,439
The bAlydince in these, we cut ourselves three times,

400
00:17:14,439 --> 00:17:16,399
no fault of your own.

401
00:17:16,399 --> 00:17:19,240
No, I mean, they're so sharp you don't even notice at first.

402
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,240
Just slices.

403
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,959
I mean, that one guy, I'm not sure why.

404
00:17:23,959 --> 00:17:26,240
You know, you don't run your hand up the blade.

405
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,519
What was he thinking?

406
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:29,559
Well, look, my group is new.

407
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:30,439
My group is new.

408
00:17:30,439 --> 00:17:31,759
New adventurers, I understand.

409
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:33,639
And we're trying something new.

410
00:17:33,639 --> 00:17:36,679
He was an accountant.

411
00:17:36,679 --> 00:17:40,119
And now we're going to go see if we can't track down

412
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:45,080
treasure and monsters and whatever else is happening.

413
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,120
That's amazing.

414
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:46,920
Right?

415
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,400
Russ, are they all a similar age to him?

416
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,480
Is this a bucket list situation?

417
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Yeah, yeah, I think so.

418
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,200
Oh, I love that.

419
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:54,720
I love it.

420
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Yeah, it's good.

421
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:02,800
So yeah, looking like they're in their 50s, probably.

422
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,040
Have lived a good life, have done a lot of things.

423
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,600
This guy's clearly got money,

424
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,960
and he's bringing his friends along for an adventure.

425
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,840
It's what we could all hope for, right?

426
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,279
Sounds great.

427
00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:17,240
Which one of us is going to get money?

428
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,240
That person can bring the rest of us along.

429
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,799
Yeah, whichever one of us gets money.

430
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:22,840
Kyle's not here, so let's say Kyle.

431
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,759
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

432
00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:25,160
Kyle is hard.

433
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,360
He's got the business plan.

434
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:28,440
He knows what's happening.

435
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,519
Where are you going on your first adventure?

436
00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:31,799
Do you guys know yet?

437
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:34,559
Well, yeah, we're going up into the Mi Mountains first,

438
00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:36,440
and then we're heading over, and there's

439
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,120
a little township over on the other side there

440
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,440
that we've heard some pretty good things about.

441
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:47,080
And there might be a lead on some buried treasure

442
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,840
off further into the marshland beyond there.

443
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,160
OK, cool.

444
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,200
I'm sure I told you this before,

445
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,400
but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't reiterate

446
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:56,880
it.

447
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,880
If you find what appears to be an old mine shaft,

448
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,759
an old factory shaft in the Mi Mountains,

449
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:05,880
you do not want to go down there.

450
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,920
There is not treasure.

451
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,320
There is only terror.

452
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:10,920
Oh.

453
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,400
Not the fun adventure kind, the like you might die kind.

454
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,560
So just give that a pass.

455
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Maybe go practice first before even thinking

456
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,240
about any of that.

457
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,000
Yeah, hey.

458
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,840
Practice would be really good.

459
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,760
He looks to you and Kav as well,

460
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,200
and he says, you two look like you

461
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,080
didn't usually sound like you may

462
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,360
have adventured a little bit.

463
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:37,200
I've done a little dabbling.

464
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:37,720
A little.

465
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,920
A little, yeah.

466
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,040
Yeah, we have.

467
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:40,560
Yeah.

468
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:46,520
So like what would it cost to bring the two of you along?

469
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,040
Oh.

470
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Huh.

471
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,160
At that moment, I kick open the door.

472
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:52,960
Treats.

473
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:58,520
And Tally and I are like, we have snacks.

474
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,520
Hey.

475
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,320
Hey, hey, hey.

476
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,040
Thank you.

477
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Come on in.

478
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Come on in.

479
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,240
We just did the big reveal.

480
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,319
You know all that stuff I was making?

481
00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:07,319
There's a lot of food.

482
00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:09,720
A lot of gesture to all of the people,

483
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,640
all decked out in their new armor and weapons

484
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,200
and all their cool new stuff.

485
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,960
How many people are we talking about, Russ,

486
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,599
when we say like, it's full of people?

487
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:19,920
So what did I say?

488
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,720
There were five others with Folland.

489
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,160
So six unknowns to you, and then

490
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,400
Baldwin, Kav, and Thane, and then you and Tally.

491
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,079
OK, it's crowded in here.

492
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:32,319
There's like 10 people shoved into the forge here.

493
00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:32,920
Yeah.

494
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,279
All right.

495
00:20:33,399 --> 00:20:36,759
You thought it was hot before there was 10 people in here?

496
00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:38,119
We'd be sweating now.

497
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,319
Yeah.

498
00:20:39,319 --> 00:20:44,079
Are you guys having, I didn't, we didn't bring enough.

499
00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:45,639
Oh, no, no, no, that's OK.

500
00:20:45,639 --> 00:20:47,119
We're on our way out here.

501
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,279
I was just settling up with your friend here.

502
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:51,399
And yeah, think on it.

503
00:20:51,399 --> 00:20:53,639
We're going to be in town for another couple days,

504
00:20:53,639 --> 00:20:55,279
just making sure we've got everything we need.

505
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:56,960
Leaving pretty soon then, hey?

506
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,319
Yeah, well, we've been, like I've

507
00:20:58,319 --> 00:20:59,399
been in town for a while.

508
00:20:59,399 --> 00:21:02,319
They just got in last week.

509
00:21:02,319 --> 00:21:03,839
We had intended to go earlier.

510
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:05,399
Have you done any training?

511
00:21:05,399 --> 00:21:09,919
Like, I know that June was doing like a side hustle thing,

512
00:21:09,919 --> 00:21:14,639
where she was kind of doing some basic combat training

513
00:21:14,639 --> 00:21:16,879
and survival skills and things like that.

514
00:21:16,879 --> 00:21:17,480
You know, now that-

515
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,679
Might want to check it out.

516
00:21:18,679 --> 00:21:21,960
She is a well-rounded individual.

517
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,480
She's had a lot of different experiences,

518
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,439
not the least of which was teaching school, which

519
00:21:27,439 --> 00:21:32,000
gives you a lot of skills for facing wild animals out

520
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:32,819
there.

521
00:21:32,819 --> 00:21:34,599
Oh, you mean her June Doe classes?

522
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:35,960
June Doe classes.

523
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,119
That's what she calls it.

524
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:37,640
Yes.

525
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:38,839
Cav, thank you.

526
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:39,519
Thank you, yeah.

527
00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:40,400
You should check it out.

528
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,359
I will check it out.

529
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,799
I think I've seen some flyers up around town.

530
00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:45,640
So yeah, absolutely, we'll check that out.

531
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,880
See if she's got one before we want to head out.

532
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,440
And if it's close, we'll just make sure we catch one.

533
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,200
If they're as good as you say they are.

534
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,960
He turns and looks, and somebody else

535
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,359
has like dropped one of them through the top of their shoe.

536
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,079
Just barely missed their foot.

537
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:04,679
Like pulled it out and like, we got a little practice to do.

538
00:22:04,679 --> 00:22:06,159
Yeah, there's scabbards for all those.

539
00:22:06,159 --> 00:22:06,759
You're fine.

540
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:08,519
Maybe just put them away for now.

541
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:10,039
Yeah, I'll put them back.

542
00:22:10,039 --> 00:22:11,519
OK.

543
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:13,399
Be careful with them.

544
00:22:13,399 --> 00:22:14,119
Think on it.

545
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:14,799
We will.

546
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:16,279
I'll check back in before we go.

547
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,960
Welcome to the middle, everybody.

548
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,199
Great to have you here.

549
00:22:23,199 --> 00:22:24,559
So happy you're here.

550
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:28,079
It's a beautiful, sunshiny day somewhere,

551
00:22:28,079 --> 00:22:30,439
and we're hope you're enjoying it.

552
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,120
Hopefully where you are, unless you prefer the rain,

553
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,160
then I hope it's raining.

554
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,920
I hope it's your best favorite weather.

555
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,759
Yes.

556
00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:39,600
But we're not here to talk about the weather.

557
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,120
Oh, no.

558
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,680
We're here to talk about Tom's favorite thing.

559
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,200
Oh, boy.

560
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:45,960
Pray tell.

561
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,720
Which is?

562
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,680
Which is?

563
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,080
Oh, it's a question for me.

564
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,120
I thought you were going to tell me.

565
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:53,120
I'm not going to tee up your favorite.

566
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:54,080
I'm not going to take that thunder.

567
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,400
Who am I, Justin?

568
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,519
I'm not going to take that thunder from you.

569
00:22:57,519 --> 00:22:58,360
I mean, maybe.

570
00:22:58,360 --> 00:22:59,920
I don't know.

571
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:01,519
OK, favorite thing?

572
00:23:01,519 --> 00:23:04,000
Well, I'm kind of like thinking about homemade pasta,

573
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,480
because I did homemade pasta on the weekend.

574
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,000
You did homemade pasta on the weekend?

575
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,800
And it was so good, guys.

576
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,240
We're talking like a linguine, like a spaghetti.

577
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,000
We did a ravioli that was stuffed with pumpkin

578
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,960
and ricotta.

579
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:17,880
Yes, it was.

580
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,640
And then it was cooked in a brown butter

581
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,200
sage and walnut sauce.

582
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,600
Shit.

583
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,279
Is that recipe going to go up on our Discord?

584
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:27,840
I mean, it could.

585
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,519
I think it should.

586
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:32,960
And if you join our Discord, which is entirely free

587
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,879
to get all of Tom's pictures of food,

588
00:23:35,879 --> 00:23:38,279
he posts some recipes, but mostly just pictures.

589
00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:39,759
You have to reverse engineer them

590
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:41,279
to be able to remake them.

591
00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:42,359
Taste with your eyes.

592
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,240
I see we need the clues now.

593
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:44,920
Make the meal.

594
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,519
That's right.

595
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:47,359
You see all of the layers.

596
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,279
Now put it together.

597
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:50,599
But yeah, join us in our Discord.

598
00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:52,240
There's a link down in the description.

599
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,799
Pretty sure it's there.

600
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:55,759
So you can find it.

601
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:58,200
Because if it wasn't there, you wouldn't be able to.

602
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,039
But it is there.

603
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:00,319
I'm pretty sure it's there.

604
00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:02,119
Russ is like 80% sure it's there.

605
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,319
It's hidden somewhere.

606
00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:06,440
I've hyperlinked one period somewhere.

607
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,039
And now it's a scavenger hunt.

608
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:09,960
Now you're on a quest.

609
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,359
If you can't find it, ask somebody in the Discord.

610
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,240
They'll help you out.

611
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:13,559
That's true.

612
00:24:13,559 --> 00:24:16,759
We have really lovely people in the Discord.

613
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:18,960
A lot of our patrons are in the Discord.

614
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,240
They are in the Discord.

615
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,720
And when you're a patron.

616
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,399
They don't put up with any of this bullshit.

617
00:24:23,399 --> 00:24:24,319
They do not.

618
00:24:24,319 --> 00:24:27,000
But they do get an episode dedicated to them.

619
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,359
Yeah, they do.

620
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:33,440
Today's patron, Faust the Heavenly Demonic Monster.

621
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,600
Oh, wow.

622
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,080
Sounds like a deal.

623
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,600
I knew we had some powerful listeners.

624
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,120
But I maybe underestimated how powerful.

625
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:45,960
I want to follow this person immediately.

626
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,280
Not on socials, but to the depths of hell.

627
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,320
To the edge of the world.

628
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,480
On a quest.

629
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,520
I mean, what are we fighting?

630
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,160
To the grocery store.

631
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:54,720
Whatever.

632
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,120
I mean, to infinity and beyond.

633
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:57,640
Oh, no.

634
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,160
Litigious.

635
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,480
Yeah.

636
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,320
Throw in the bed and the bath, too, while we're at it.

637
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,680
Let's fucking go.

638
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,720
You know it.

639
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,080
All right.

640
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,040
Well, thank you, Faust.

641
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:07,720
Yes, thank you.

642
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,400
Thank you.

643
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,880
And all the honorifics that follow it.

644
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,320
The Heavenly Demonic Monster.

645
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,200
That's the one.

646
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:14,920
You nailed it.

647
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,400
Not just any normal Faust.

648
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,120
That specific one.

649
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:20,600
So you, too, could be like Faust.

650
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,080
You could be a Faust of your own sort

651
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,040
at patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

652
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,640
Where you get one week free.

653
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,160
When you sign up, it's pretty fun.

654
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,120
You can test it out.

655
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:31,080
See what you like.

656
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:38,320
And then hopefully you enjoy all of this.

657
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,680
All of this.

658
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,000
But slightly different.

659
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,920
Just how could you not?

660
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,440
How could you not?

661
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,520
You made it this far.

662
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,480
What are we, like, 800 episodes in?

663
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,800
You're still listening?

664
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,800
Like, obviously.

665
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,320
Come on now.

666
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,080
What is this middle?

667
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,720
10 minutes now?

668
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,040
You're still listening?

669
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,200
Come on.

670
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,880
We're obviously best friends.

671
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,160
If this is your first time, though,

672
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,680
give it some time, please, because you're super cool

673
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,240
and we just want you to just give us a chance.

674
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,040
But the rest of you, you get it.

675
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Yeah.

676
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,240
Thanks for being here.

677
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,040
Time to get back to the episode now.

678
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,400
Love you, bye.

679
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,280
Love you, bye.

680
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,120
Kav, did you hear that?

681
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:21,520
He wants to hire us to go with them.

682
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,000
What?

683
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:22,880
Go with them where?

684
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,920
Where are you going?

685
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,000
Like on an adventure.

686
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,400
Adventuring.

687
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,599
You guys are leaving on an adventure?

688
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:30,640
Well, no, no.

689
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,880
We haven't even talked about it.

690
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,039
He just offered.

691
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:33,559
Yeah.

692
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:36,519
So something to think about, something

693
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:39,160
to discuss amongst ourselves.

694
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,240
And I mean, we can just leave.

695
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,599
We need to talk to Bazaar.

696
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:46,240
I need to talk to Thane.

697
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,359
We need to talk to you.

698
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,680
Like, there's a lot.

699
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:50,480
Oh, she beams.

700
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,000
What?

701
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,599
There's a lot of things to consider.

702
00:26:55,599 --> 00:27:00,759
Yeah, like who would stay back and babysit me?

703
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:03,839
Do you feel like you need a babysitter?

704
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:06,400
I feel like you've really been taking care

705
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,960
of a lot of things yourself.

706
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,799
Yeah, you're right.

707
00:27:09,799 --> 00:27:13,000
I could probably stay back.

708
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,559
No, I think.

709
00:27:13,559 --> 00:27:15,200
I don't think that's what anyone meant.

710
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:15,839
No, no.

711
00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:18,079
Yeah, no, you would come with us.

712
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:20,919
Because the school's open now, and the kids are all OK.

713
00:27:20,919 --> 00:27:23,599
And like, I don't know, I kind of feel like.

714
00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:25,639
You don't need to babysit anymore.

715
00:27:25,639 --> 00:27:29,519
Yeah, I feel like we're like a team, kind of.

716
00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:31,399
I do feel like we're a team.

717
00:27:31,399 --> 00:27:35,599
I mean, whenever there's nobody else

718
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:37,839
other than you two and Bazaar,

719
00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:41,159
I'd want to go into a weird other plane

720
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:42,599
with terrifying creatures with.

721
00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:45,439
Tally hands you a coffee and a muffin.

722
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,400
And you've got Tally to make sure the younger kids are OK.

723
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,840
And that's a really important job,

724
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,880
because you were doing that for so long.

725
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,080
I do rely on her a lot.

726
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,960
But now you can really trust Tally

727
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,640
to make sure everyone's OK.

728
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,840
I will put them through the same rigorous training

729
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,039
that I put you through today, Alydin.

730
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:05,480
You're going to yell at them until they transport

731
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,279
themselves on top of a flagpole?

732
00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:10,720
The teachers can do that.

733
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:13,600
You are there now, I think, Tally,

734
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:22,079
more for emotional support, for people as a confidant.

735
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:23,759
OK.

736
00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:25,640
Solving problems on the playground.

737
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,680
Solving problems on the playground.

738
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,480
Just sort of a respected authority figure

739
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,039
among the children.

740
00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:33,079
Someone to look up to.

741
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:34,200
But don't get power creates.

742
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,079
OK, OK, OK, I'm on board with this.

743
00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:39,600
Yeah, so you guys brought treats.

744
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,000
What kind of treats did you get?

745
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,880
Oh, you know, they had some fresh doughnuts.

746
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,280
Oh, love it.

747
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,640
The filled muffins.

748
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,080
They're here, too.

749
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,920
I think they're the pumpkin muffins with the spiced

750
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,240
cream cheese inside.

751
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,160
Oh, all right.

752
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,000
Thank you.

753
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,960
That's so nice of you two to bring treats.

754
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,800
You guys have been so busy lately.

755
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:06,400
And Bazaar has been, like, really busy

756
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,760
and doing super important stuff.

757
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:11,559
And so, you know.

758
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:13,759
Yeah, I mean, the life of a small business owner,

759
00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:16,559
when you have a few weeks where you disappear,

760
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:19,279
and then you're, well, first, you're fighting monsters.

761
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:20,720
The town half burns down.

762
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,119
Then you disappear.

763
00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:23,079
Then there's a court.

764
00:29:23,079 --> 00:29:26,279
Like, I mean, that's a lot to catch up on.

765
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:28,400
Thank God for Thayn.

766
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,279
Thayn, seriously, you are a saint.

767
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:33,559
You're amazing.

768
00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:34,160
Say no more.

769
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:34,799
Say no more.

770
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:37,079
And he kind of puts his keys in his pocket.

771
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:38,079
I was just heading out.

772
00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:41,439
Are you heading down to Bench's tonight, Brood Awakening?

773
00:29:41,439 --> 00:29:41,960
Yeah.

774
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,559
Hey, swing past Mirror, Mirror, Mirror.

775
00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:46,399
We're going to as well when we leave.

776
00:29:46,399 --> 00:29:47,639
And just take a look.

777
00:29:47,639 --> 00:29:48,519
I'll let you know if I see anything.

778
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:49,000
OK.

779
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:49,519
OK.

780
00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:50,559
Well, good to see everybody.

781
00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:52,639
I'll hopefully see you at the Brood Awakening.

782
00:29:52,639 --> 00:29:55,159
I appreciate you.

783
00:29:55,159 --> 00:29:58,399
What's he looking for at Mirror, Mirror, Mirror?

784
00:29:58,399 --> 00:29:59,399
Well, his beautiful face.

785
00:29:59,399 --> 00:30:00,519
I was going to say, Little Vane.

786
00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:01,839
But also, we saw something weird.

787
00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:02,639
What?

788
00:30:02,639 --> 00:30:04,359
What weird?

789
00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:07,240
Weird, like, so he's walking past the mirrors,

790
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:07,879
saw himself.

791
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,840
And then in one of the mirrors, he saw a figure in a forest,

792
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,600
not someone he recognized, kind of dressed

793
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,440
in flowers or something.

794
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,840
That sounds nice.

795
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,440
And then when he went back, like, did a woo,

796
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,640
they were, it was just a mirror again.

797
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,040
So something to keep an eye on.

798
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,160
You guys seen anything like that before?

799
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,920
Well, things have been kind of weird since we got back.

800
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,120
Uh, Tom and Amy, roll a D100.

801
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Oh, oh.

802
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,400
Are we playing Cthulhu?

803
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:44,680
I'm worried.

804
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,960
Right?

805
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,160
34.

806
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,240
Nope, that's a 7.

807
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,000
37.

808
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,039
62.

809
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:54,360
37.

810
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,880
Amy, that's what you've seen.

811
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,320
And 62.

812
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,360
OK, I dropped into the studio chat.

813
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,600
Amy, you can read yours there.

814
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,600
Yeah, no, I don't.

815
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:14,040
You know how when you're going walking down by the river?

816
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,520
Right, of course.

817
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:21,440
And it's, like, dusk, and it's so peaceful.

818
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,000
Golden hour, lovely.

819
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,320
And I just kind of like to sit and, you know, think.

820
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:34,320
And you know how sometimes the river just sings?

821
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,240
Like through the majesty of, like, gurgles and burbles,

822
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,000
like of a river sort of sound?

823
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:39,919
Yeah, I love that.

824
00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:41,039
It's really soothing.

825
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:54,480
More like a beautiful, like, ah, like, I don't know.

826
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,359
I can't sing.

827
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:59,639
But like a voice, they're not saying words.

828
00:31:59,639 --> 00:32:03,200
And like, it's a river.

829
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,799
Huh.

830
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:07,360
I have not experienced that.

831
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,039
It sounds actually kind of gorgeous.

832
00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:11,960
I mean, it wasn't the worst thing.

833
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,080
Is it nice?

834
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,319
It seems maybe unsettling, but kind of lovely.

835
00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:19,080
Only at the golden hour, or?

836
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,720
Yeah, what's the hair on the back of your neck

837
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,200
like when you hear this?

838
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,519
Oh, great question.

839
00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:26,160
Great question.

840
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,319
Well, it stands up a little bit,

841
00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:30,880
and I get the goosebumps.

842
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,360
And sometimes you get that just from hearing beautiful singing,

843
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:33,840
so.

844
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,320
Yeah.

845
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,680
And I don't, like, I've been doing this thing

846
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,120
where I'm in one place, and then I'm in another place,

847
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,040
and I'm all wet.

848
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,560
And so I don't know, I kind of, like, maybe the river

849
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,520
is apologizing to me.

850
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,640
Oh, through song.

851
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,640
Oh, through song.

852
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,440
Yeah.

853
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,840
I'm damp most of the day.

854
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,440
I mean, I feel like literally anything

855
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,280
is possible in this town now, so.

856
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240
That's true, yeah.

857
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,440
I've had, like, a little back of the neck thing lately, too.

858
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,400
You know, it hasn't been, like, very, like, moon forward

859
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:06,960
lately.

860
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,680
It's been kind of cloudy.

861
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,839
Well, I've been seeing that, like, the lanterns are glowing,

862
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:18,559
but there's no oil in them.

863
00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:20,640
Maybe, is there a candle?

864
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,279
No, no, no candle either.

865
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:25,000
Good question, though.

866
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,559
Firefly in there, something?

867
00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:32,679
Oh, the glowy things that Bazaar can do, the glowy magic.

868
00:33:32,679 --> 00:33:33,799
Oh, maybe that's it, yeah.

869
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:34,519
The glowy magic.

870
00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:36,359
When he does that, like, the hair on my neck

871
00:33:36,359 --> 00:33:38,079
doesn't stand up.

872
00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:40,559
Well, and he's, like, usually there.

873
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:42,639
There to, like, make it happen.

874
00:33:42,639 --> 00:33:44,559
This is just like, you see a lantern,

875
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:45,960
and you're like, oh, that's weird.

876
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,879
I thought it was empty of oil, but still glowing.

877
00:33:48,879 --> 00:33:51,799
100%.

878
00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:53,519
Convenient.

879
00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:56,200
Sure, yeah.

880
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,880
But also weird.

881
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,960
Also a little weird.

882
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,319
Are weird things happening again already?

883
00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:04,840
Did we bring weird things back with us?

884
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,639
Oh, Alydin, an insightful question.

885
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:10,880
Is it our fault?

886
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,360
Is that what you're saying?

887
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,240
Well.

888
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:14,360
I mean, it might be.

889
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,880
It might be our fault.

890
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,679
They sound like nice things so far,

891
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:20,480
but I don't trust weird things,

892
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,679
whether they're nice or not.

893
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:24,800
I wish Bazaar was here.

894
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,960
Oh, me too.

895
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,240
Where is our weird stuff expert when we need him?

896
00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:31,119
I could go get some books, but he really

897
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:37,280
asked that I give him and his mom some time to.

898
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,240
And his new dad.

899
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:43,519
Don't say that in front of him.

900
00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:45,880
No, he would be so mad.

901
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,240
It's not funny to him, and I understand why it's not.

902
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:52,440
There's a lot of raw emotion there,

903
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,679
but it's nice to see her so happy, isn't it?

904
00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:55,840
She sings.

905
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:01,320
Not like the river, but dusting around the store.

906
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,480
So we can't ask him.

907
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,400
Tali, any ideas?

908
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,760
This muffin is very good.

909
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:08,160
Good.

910
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,200
Solid, solid, solid input.

911
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,519
Astute.

912
00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:13,240
I don't know.

913
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:15,200
Maybe go to the.

914
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,800
Maybe you could just go just call it for the day

915
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,880
and go to the Brewed Awakening with your friends.

916
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:20,960
I don't know.

917
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,760
I mean, there's nothing wrong happening, like bad.

918
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,040
There's nothing wrong happening.

919
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:26,640
Nobody's hurt.

920
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,400
We could gather some intel from other people.

921
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,840
I mean, it doesn't sound like it's just happening to us

922
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,160
who were in the weird place.

923
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,480
Thane's also seeing weird things.

924
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,080
And now we all know, and we're now

925
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,680
actively thinking about it.

926
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,160
So we could start noticing more.

927
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,200
Yes, gathering the clues.

928
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:53,120
This might be, Tali, a great time to,

929
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,320
let's do a little test.

930
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,120
If Alydin were to leave town and you were like the official

931
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,640
oldest kid, let's see how things would go.

932
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Let's do a little test.

933
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,000
Why don't you head back to the school

934
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,160
and then let us know in the morning that things went OK.

935
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,600
Oh, yeah, sure.

936
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,640
I could do that.

937
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,360
Easy, peasy.

938
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,080
Yeah, lemon squeezy.

939
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,640
Hey, we totally trust you.

940
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,080
You're going to do a great job.

941
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,280
You can do this, Tali.

942
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,240
I trust that you trust me.

943
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:24,400
Are you guys going to eat all the rest of those muffins?

944
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,560
No, you go ahead.

945
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:26,760
You should take them.

946
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,960
Well, I want, and I take one and I put it in my bucket.

947
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,920
She picks them all up and she starts heading up.

948
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,640
Now that you're in charge, those

949
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,040
are also for the kids, right?

950
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,000
Oh, yeah, of course.

951
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,880
You just don't want them to leave them overnight

952
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,760
as she's heading out.

953
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,040
Because, you know, food left overnight that's out

954
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,760
just grows those tiny mushrooms.

955
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,600
She heads out into the street.

956
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,200
Wait, what?

957
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,880
OK, I think I think that's maybe

958
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,040
another one of those things.

959
00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:51,800
Maybe, or she's confused and she's

960
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,519
talking it when it gets all moldy.

961
00:36:53,519 --> 00:36:54,679
Like mold?

962
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:57,159
Does she think mold is tiny mushrooms?

963
00:36:57,159 --> 00:37:00,039
I mean, maybe, but also, I don't leave a lot of food around.

964
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:02,920
You know what, it could be me neither.

965
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,519
Yeah, let's go to Brewed Awakening.

966
00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:06,360
Let's see what everyone else has seen.

967
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,079
Yeah.

968
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:10,719
You all make your way down towards the Brewed Awakening.

969
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,639
It's a, what time?

970
00:37:13,639 --> 00:37:15,440
I didn't say it was a beautiful day.

971
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,119
I didn't necessarily place a specific time.

972
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:19,480
No, we sent her back to the school.

973
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:20,480
We sent her back to the school.

974
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,119
Thayne finished off for the day.

975
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:23,079
So it's the end of the day.

976
00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:24,159
Like 2 PM.

977
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:25,800
Yeah, love it.

978
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,800
You're all heading down to the Brewed Awakening.

979
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,480
And there's a few people heading there.

980
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,800
It's a busy night.

981
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,760
And as you're all walking up,

982
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:41,519
you see a youngish man in perhaps two big robes.

983
00:37:41,519 --> 00:37:44,000
He's carrying a satchel that's bulging

984
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
with papers and journals and loose scrolls that

985
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,800
are tied haphazardly together.

986
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,840
His glasses, you notice as he's kind of looking down

987
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,840
and trying to filter through this bag,

988
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,519
keeps sliding down his nose, and he

989
00:37:57,519 --> 00:37:59,559
keeps bumping them back up.

990
00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:02,119
And he's crossing the square towards the Brewed Awakening

991
00:38:02,119 --> 00:38:03,039
as well.

992
00:38:03,039 --> 00:38:06,199
And something catches his attention.

993
00:38:06,199 --> 00:38:09,760
And he trips on a cobblestone.

994
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,239
All of the papers, all of the parchment,

995
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,719
scraps everywhere.

996
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,360
And he starts scrambling around.

997
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,000
A couple people are stepping over him.

998
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,160
One kind of passes.

999
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,559
I mean, I'm going to try and go help.

1000
00:38:19,559 --> 00:38:21,480
And nobody can stop to help at all.

1001
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,039
You guys rush over.

1002
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:24,960
I expect more of the people of Vintersmouth,

1003
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,599
but I'm going to help him.

1004
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:30,920
Oh, sweetheart, you got to watch where you're walking here.

1005
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,559
It's busy.

1006
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:32,800
It's everyone's heading to the pub.

1007
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:33,920
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1008
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,200
Thank you, thank you.

1009
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,440
This one was in a puddle.

1010
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,280
It's wet.

1011
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,280
He's scrambling.

1012
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:38,880
He puts it.

1013
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,240
He kind of just brushes it off and slips it in his bag.

1014
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:42,640
Obviously, I try and read these as I'm like,

1015
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,559
I can't even help it.

1016
00:38:43,559 --> 00:38:44,640
I just know how to read.

1017
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:46,440
And when I see words, I know what they mean.

1018
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,799
What do I see?

1019
00:38:47,799 --> 00:38:48,719
You see?

1020
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,159
Anything cool?

1021
00:38:50,159 --> 00:38:51,719
Is it just pictures of naked girls?

1022
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,559
It's pictures of exclusively naked women.

1023
00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:54,920
And like being in Vegas.

1024
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,199
And he's just got flyers he's handing out.

1025
00:38:58,199 --> 00:38:59,400
No, it's not.

1026
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,480
They look academic.

1027
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,639
They look like there's perhaps

1028
00:39:02,639 --> 00:39:06,159
on some similar things that you've seen with Bazaar,

1029
00:39:06,159 --> 00:39:08,199
different magical scrolls.

1030
00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:11,599
You see different historical events that

1031
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:13,000
have happened through time.

1032
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,880
And as you're handing them back and he's collecting them,

1033
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,159
he quickly stops and looks down to the ground,

1034
00:39:20,159 --> 00:39:21,880
very distracted.

1035
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,760
And all you can see is a bit of glass.

1036
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,239
And he goes down and picks it up and holds it up

1037
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,320
to the light that's still left in the sky.

1038
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,000
And he says, oh, fascinating refractive qualities

1039
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,280
of this.

1040
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,320
Isn't that just glass?

1041
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,440
It's just glass, isn't it?

1042
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,519
What was I doing?

1043
00:39:39,519 --> 00:39:40,559
All your papers.

1044
00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:44,519
All your worldly possessions have spilled all over.

1045
00:39:44,519 --> 00:39:46,360
I don't think you're from here.

1046
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,960
New to Vintrosmith?

1047
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,320
Yes, yes, yes.

1048
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,920
And I'm Alistar.

1049
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,079
And then his eyes get very heavy.

1050
00:39:57,079 --> 00:39:59,799
And he looks like he paints.

1051
00:39:59,799 --> 00:40:00,320
Alistar.

1052
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,360
And falls to the ground.

1053
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,320
Can I try and catch him?

1054
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,639
You can.

1055
00:40:04,639 --> 00:40:05,519
What do I do, athletics?

1056
00:40:05,519 --> 00:40:07,920
Roll athletics, yeah.

1057
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,599
Oh, great.

1058
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:10,239
Or dexterity.

1059
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:11,480
Calls on you, crushes you.

1060
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,480
Or acrobatics, crushes you.

1061
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,560
Oh, acrobatics is better.

1062
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,520
Oh, my dex is pretty good.

1063
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,080
Still only a 13, not a great roll.

1064
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,400
You see, and with just barely enough time,

1065
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,120
catch him as his head lolls back.

1066
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,560
And he begins snoring in your arms.

1067
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:31,560
Oh, my goodness.

1068
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,280
Is this one of the weird things we should

1069
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,600
have been keeping an eye out for?

1070
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,600
Are people going to just start falling asleep?

1071
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:37,240
I hope not.

1072
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:38,520
I barely caught this guy.

1073
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:43,760
Dumbgeons and Dragons, season 4, episode 40,

1074
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,120
starring Amy More as Alydin.

1075
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,680

1102
00:41:48,759 --> 00:41:51,319
Is this Alydin or Amy amnesia?

1103
00:41:51,319 --> 00:41:53,559
Amy's pulling the, I am not yes.

1104
00:41:53,559 --> 00:41:54,960
Anding anything.

1105
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,119
I'm having trouble today.

1106
00:41:57,119 --> 00:41:59,199
I've had the worst couple of weeks.

1107
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:01,359
My brain can't.

1108
00:42:01,359 --> 00:42:03,239
It's hard to remember if things you can't remember

1109
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:04,960
because of game amnesia

1110
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,160
or because Alydin doesn't remember.

1111
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,000
That's true.

1112
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,960
I mean, I don't remember any of this.

1113
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:10,800
Me neither.

1114
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,040
Okay, I just wanted to make sure.

1115
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,240
I'm like, I either am just gonna guess and this or.

1116
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,360
Jess fully remembers all of it.

1117
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:21,320
Shut up, Jess.

1118
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,240
No, you don't.

1119
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:23,800
Usually how it works.

1120
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:24,760
God.

1121
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,880
I just need to know I'm not being gaslit

1122
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,440
and made to look stupid.

1123
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,280
You're not being gaslit.

1124
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,120
There's too much in my brain.

1125
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:34,159
It happened once in the actual game

1126
00:42:34,159 --> 00:42:37,639
and then we went into trial mode

1127
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:40,000
where everything got sidelined.

1128
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,119
I do not remember this.

1129
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:44,039
