[0.0s] Dumbgeons and Dragons begins in a moment.
[7.2s] It's a beautiful day in Vintersmouth and we hear the sound of children running
[11.1s] through the playground outside of the school, which has been well repaired and
[16.4s] classes have actually started this past week.
[19.8s] We see Tally and Alydin walking through the playground, eyeing up a flagpole in
[27.0s] the middle of the school grounds.
[30.6s] So, Alydin, you've been like, we've been like trying to, trying to practice, but
[35.9s] it seems to only be able to get to do it like every, every once in a while.
[40.0s] Do you want to like try it right now?
[41.4s] Where you, where you, where you, where you like point and then you just go?
[48.4s] What?
[49.2s] Oh, come on.
[50.0s] It's like, we do this like every other day at least where, where you
[54.8s] visualize yourself some, some distance over there, and then you make yourself
[60.5s] go and then there's like some water and some swirling things and then
[64.4s] bam, you're over there.
[67.3s] Is this a dream you had?
[70.4s] No.
[71.6s] Quentin, do you remember seeing Alydin do that the other day?
[75.2s] Right?
[75.8s] Yeah.
[76.0s] We all saw that.
[77.7s] Yeah.
[79.1s] And then you were there and then you were over there.
[81.1s] And you're a little bit wet.
[82.7s] Yeah.
[82.9s] You were a little, and you like, and shook your hair out like a dog.
[87.1s] Remember?
[88.3s] I'm feeling gaslit and I really wild.
[92.0s] I'm just gasanding.
[92.9s] I haven't been here in 10 months.
[94.8s] I have no idea what's going on.
[99.0s] Did Alydin learn a new spell?
[103.0s] Tally, you're crazy.
[104.6s] I don't know what you're talking about.
[106.1s] Tally walks over to Quentin and say, give me, can I have your ball for a second?
[110.5s] Okay.
[110.8s] Yeah, of course.
[111.8s] Okay, thanks.
[112.6s] And she turns towards the school and hucks it on top of the building.
[116.3s] Rude.
[117.1s] Thank you.
[118.3s] Been working.
[118.7s] I mean, Alydin, you're going to get it back, right?
[121.4s] Yeah.
[121.7s] Now just do what you've been doing.
[123.9s] Just go up there and get it back for me.
[128.3s] Can you try?
[131.2s] Alydin walks up to the, to the edge of the school and just jumps.
[139.5s] Terrible vertical.
[141.8s] I'll let it swerve.
[144.1s] 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.
[153.1s] Okay.
[154.0s] Make, you have mage hand.
[156.2s] And it's a cantrip.
[157.3s] Okay, cool.
[158.0s] Yeah, but I haven't really used it in public.
[160.3s] So I'm like, really it.
[161.6s] Okay.
[161.8s] A little self-conscious about my mage hand.
[163.8s] Yeah.
[164.4s] As you focus, roll arcana.
[168.4s] Just, we'll just use that as a base for.
[171.5s] I'm going to borrow your dice.
[172.4s] Yeah, for sure.
[173.5s] We'll just use that as a base for how confident you are in making this happen.
[178.1s] Amy is not very confident.
[183.8s] I can't.
[185.9s] Welcome back, everybody.
[189.4s] It's a one.
[191.4s] Make sure Russ keeps using those dice and he's rolling damage on us.
[194.8s] He's going to roll 20s.
[195.9s] Yeah.
[196.3s] I'm going to roll ones.
[197.8s] Shut up.
[198.2s] I mean, it's, it's still.
[199.3s] Whatever.
[199.6s] So we're just proving that the dice works.
[200.8s] I walk up to the school and I'm like, okay.
[206.4s] And I reach my hand out and like squint and I screw my face up.
[212.4s] And I peek out from one eye.
[216.5s] You're straining and everybody's kind of crowded around watching you.
[221.2s] And you feel like the mage hand flicker.
[223.3s] You've done it before.
[224.2s] You know what it's supposed to do and look like, and you feel it like
[227.2s] flicker and then you hear like a little gasp and you close your eyes.
[230.6s] One more time and you feel like you are being swept away in a river.
[237.0s] Water is rushing around you.
[239.0s] You feel like fabrics being pulled all around your body.
[243.8s] And then suddenly you feel between your hands.
[247.4s] You're grasping onto the flag pole.
[250.4s] The top of it.
[252.6s] Correct.
[255.6s] Everybody turns and looks and tally screams up.
[258.8s] I knew you could do it again.
[261.4s] Told you.
[262.0s] Get my ball.
[264.8s] Dumbgeons and Dragons is a D&D actual play podcast and I'm your
[268.7s] dungeon master Russ More, he, him.

[278.7s] And his new dad.
[282.1s] And Tom Laird is Kavlaran Goldweave, he, him.

[312.3s] Let's play.
[314.4s] Bonwyn, it's been a while since we've seen you, since the trial has
[319.0s] ended, you've been, even during the trial, you've been spending time
[325.6s] catching up on the work that you couldn't do while the Forge was out.
[330.4s] Yeah, long list of custom jobs, including the job for Follon
[334.8s] Varam and his team of adventurers who, you know, are due in town
[339.4s] today and you're just putting the finishing touches on those things.
[343.8s] You see Thane cleaning up their workstation and they come over and
[347.9s] they say, so I don't, I don't know exactly like how we could have
[354.1s] done this sooner, but Nina taking office even as acting mayor has
[359.6s] been really great.
[361.4s] Yeah, I kind of hate to admit it, but I mean, she knows how to
[365.4s] get things done in a way that, you know, the last mayor certainly
[371.4s] did not.
[372.4s] I mean, I still wouldn't trust her with anything, but
[376.9s] I heard she was like an undercover, like a plant from Kingstown.
[382.0s] Huh?
[383.4s] Like sent long time ago to kind of get in there.
[387.4s] I feel like they really allowed her to do some crimes as part of
[390.9s] her undercover work, but I guess you'd have to.
[393.4s] I don't know what a political undercover nature is, but yeah,
[399.7s] she's been doing, like there's, they're planning an election, but
[403.0s] like if she's running, I might just vote for her.
[406.3s] Have you seen they're tearing up the gold on the, on the
[408.8s] rich side of town and like reinvesting it everywhere?
[414.1s] Yeah, it's, it's kind of amazing actually.
[418.5s] Business association meetings are going to be, I think a lot
[421.8s] more chill or they're just going to have to invent things
[424.2s] to complain about.
[425.5s] Yeah, I think I don't, I don't foresee a change in the tenor of
[430.2s] attitudes at the business association meetings, but I don't know, generally
[436.9s] it's just like kind of, kind of good from what I've seen.
[440.8s] I mean, I feel like I've barely left the forge, but.
[443.4s] No, you've been locked up here.
[445.2s] You're doing some great stuff and it's kind of walks over to one of
[448.8s] the tables where you have like stacks and stacks of all of the
[453.5s] wrapped boxes that you package all of your items in.
[456.7s] It's like, I haven't seen you pump out this much, this much stuff
[460.4s] in a, in a long time.
[462.2s] Like, is it, is it the eyes?
[465.0s] Like, is that helping?
[467.5s] Oh, um.
[468.5s] Sorry, I know.
[472.0s] No, I mean, that's, you, you have eyes.
[474.0s] You can see my eyes, you know.
[476.2s] Um, that they're on fire.
[478.0s] Yeah.
[478.5s] Yeah, yeah.
[479.7s] Yeah.
[480.1s] It's, uh, maybe it is.
[483.5s] I don't know.
[484.3s] Also, it just felt really good to be kind of back to normal, just
[488.5s] like tongs and hammer and using my brain and designing and rather than
[495.1s] all of the, uh, terrible, weird, spooky stuff that's been happening.
[501.0s] Yeah.
[501.6s] You know?
[502.3s] I mean, it's still been weird.
[504.0s] Uh, like, yeah.
[505.3s] I mean, can I point at my.
[506.8s] Yeah, no, I mean, the eyes, rainbows coming out of, uh, puddles
[511.8s] in the middle of the street and thinking you see something in
[515.6s] the reflection of a mirror.
[518.8s] It's not really there.
[519.8s] Like a forest or something.
[521.6s] There's things happening.
[523.6s] Yeah.
[525.0s] Yeah.
[525.5s] I don't know about that last one.
[527.3s] What do you mean?
[528.0s] Oh, well, uh, I was walking by mirrors, mirrors, mirrors.
[533.2s] And, uh, of course.
[534.5s] And you got to check your look as you go by.
[536.2s] You can't not look in a mirror when you walk past it.
[538.6s] You got it.
[539.4s] Exactly.
[540.2s] And it is by the way.
[541.6s] You look great.
[542.1s] Thank you.
[542.4s] Thank you.
[542.8s] I was, uh, I wasn't fishing for compliments.
[545.3s] There was more just saying how this morning I walked by mirrors,
[548.3s] mirrors, mirrors, caught me, caught a second me, caught a third, not me,
[553.9s] somebody else walking through a forested space, then a me and then
[558.1s] backtrack there's a me again.
[560.2s] Uh, so.
[562.8s] So not, was it you in a forested space?
[565.8s] No, not me, somebody else.
[567.8s] Uh, just, no, I'd never seen the before in my life.
[571.5s] They were, they had a very, like, I don't know how to describe it.
[575.1s] Like a floral attitude.
[576.8s] Like they were like, there were like vine, they were dressing
[580.2s] themselves in like vines and roughage.
[583.1s] I, that's the only way I could like lettuce leaves.
[585.9s] I'm sure it wasn't lettuce leaves.
[587.4s] It was out of my peripheral, but I mean, it would take your brain
[590.2s] a minute to just like catch up with what you even saw.
[593.3s] Did the forest look familiar?
[595.0s] Like it, was it like verboten?
[596.5s] Was it something local?
[598.0s] I mean, it looked like a forest, but it definitely didn't
[601.0s] look like any like regular paths that we walked through verboten.
[605.6s] Hmm.
[606.4s] Well, I think that might be a you thing thing, or at least I have
[609.6s] not seen any images for us, but I mean.
[613.0s] Yeah.
[613.5s] So I should probably, I should probably talk to somebody about that then.
[618.5s] Um, okay.
[619.9s] Yeah.
[621.1s] Yeah.
[621.4s] Great.
[622.0s] Great.
[623.0s] I mean, when Bazaar's back, he would be good.
[625.6s] You know what?
[626.0s] I just default to asking him about anything that's weird.
[629.4s] And that's probably not fair.
[630.7s] But he knows the most about weird stuff.
[632.9s] He does seem, he does seem to have a lot.
[634.7s] And if not, he's got a lot of books that seem to have even more weird stuff in them.
[638.7s] So that's super helpful.
[640.3s] Yeah.
[640.7s] But maybe later we should, let's do a walk by mirrors, mirrors,
[643.7s] mirrors, and see, see what we can see.
[646.7s] Maybe they're playing tricks.
[647.7s] Maybe it's more of this weird stuff.
[649.5s] Maybe there's one magic mirror and it's just that.
[651.7s] Yeah.
[652.3s] Yeah.
[653.1s] It could be that it could also be why we've been seeing like
[657.0s] animal shaped smoke coming out of Jimny's.
[659.7s] Those things could be related.
[661.6s] But around here lately, who knows?
[665.2s] Hear a knock at the door and it slowly opens.
[669.0s] And Follan Varam followed by five other people come in behind him.
[674.6s] He says, sorry to bug you, Bonwyn.
[677.5s] No bother at all.
[678.6s] I've been waiting.
[679.6s] I have this stack.
[681.3s] It is, I maybe shouldn't have wrapped so much.
[685.6s] I normally do for every custom job.
[688.0s] I do the wrap, but yes, no, it's good for you.
[691.7s] Good to reveal absolutely all along the way.
[695.3s] Now, this is wonderful.
[696.2s] Thank you.
[698.0s] Russ, there's another knock on the door and Cav opens the door
[702.6s] and it's like, oh, it's always a lineup here.
[708.0s] Cav, Cav, you can come in, too.
[709.7s] You can come in, too.
[711.2s] OK, I'll just I'll hang over here till they're all done, I guess.
[715.9s] Well, we're doing like a big reveal thing.
[717.5s] It might be a while.
[718.5s] Oh, OK.
[719.6s] I'll see all the see all the things.
[721.1s] I do. I mean, you're welcome to stay.
[722.7s] I think there is that's OK with you.
[724.6s] Of course. This is my Cav.
[725.8s] You guys met, right?
[727.4s] Yeah, I think so.
[729.1s] I'm not great with names, though.
[730.4s] Sorry. Oh, that's OK.
[732.0s] Follan Varam, nice to meet you.
[734.3s] Cav, Cav Lauren for if you want to extend.
[737.1s] You're the one that the trial.
[739.4s] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[741.2s] That was me.
[742.1s] Our own little celebrity, Cav Lauren.
[744.5s] Really put a spin on the whole town here.
[747.2s] I mean, when I came, you were complaining, not complaining.
[750.3s] You were stating.
[751.6s] I mean, I was probably complaining that there was just a lack of funding,
[755.3s] at least on this side of the town, and that seems to be turned right around.
[758.8s] Yeah, it's true.
[760.0s] It's pretty great.
[761.2s] It is. School's open again.
[763.3s] Oh, amazing. Amazing.
[764.8s] Yeah. You worked at City Hall, didn't you?
[769.4s] I mean, I don't know if I would call what I did work, but yeah, I was there.
[774.6s] So did they like because of the trial thing, did you like lose your position
[780.8s] or like are you still working there?
[783.0s] Like, look, I'm not entirely sure.
[784.9s] No one has like come to get me and I haven't been by to like
[790.3s] see if I still work there.
[792.1s] Are you still getting paid?
[793.3s] I can say as long as the checks clear.
[795.9s] They keep like slipping,
[797.6s] slipping some money under my door every couple of weeks.
[799.9s] So they're paying you under your door.
[802.8s] Yeah, isn't that how everyone does it?
[805.9s] I got to talk to Oak.
[807.8s] You're just finding random money in your pockets.
[810.2s] Oak is sneaking in and slipping.
[812.0s] Oh, this is my bonus.
[817.6s] We cut back to the school
[821.7s] and several people have come to help you back down,
[824.8s] Alydin, because whatever you've done to get up here,
[828.0s] you weren't able to replicate it to get back down.
[830.7s] That's embarrassing.
[831.7s] Surely you just slid down and went, whee.
[834.0s] Yeah, right. I'm a kid.
[834.9s] You're in a flake wall.
[836.2s] Anyways, there's a couple of people who have caught you at the bottom.
[839.0s] And are you doing OK?
[841.8s] Oh, yeah. Mm hmm.
[844.1s] OK. Yeah, no.
[845.4s] Tally rushes over.
[846.8s] See, you can.
[848.4s] It's like you're you're swept up in something and then you can move.
[851.9s] You've been doing I don't know why you can't remember.
[854.0s] Maybe you lose your memory.
[855.3s] Do you remember doing it right now?
[856.8s] Yes. OK.
[859.0s] How long have I been doing this for?
[861.7s] Can you get my ball from the roof?
[864.6s] I'll work on it.
[866.1s] You can like, I can't just move.
[869.1s] Well, we saw it.
[870.0s] You ended up on the flagpole.
[872.1s] I ended up on the flagpole.
[873.6s] That's true. She's got to work.
[875.0s] She's got to work on it.
[875.9s] She's got to practice next time.
[877.7s] Next time you get up on the roof.
[879.0s] Can you just get my ball back for me, though?
[880.9s] Yeah, for sure.
[882.3s] OK, thanks, Alydin.
[883.8s] Well, you've been doing it since you got back from that place
[885.7s] that you talked about and then you had those dreams
[887.7s] that you were talking about with the person
[891.4s] who said like some I can't remember exactly what they said,
[895.6s] but it sounded very scary in the dream.
[898.0s] And then you started doing that.
[901.5s] You like jumped down the street, you said.
[904.4s] And then you've been practicing.
[906.0s] Listen, Tali, come here.
[907.3s] OK, come here. I'm here.
[909.2s] You have to shh.
[911.2s] Why?
[911.6s] About because I don't know what's going on.
[915.8s] And obviously, I'm not very good at it yet.
[920.1s] OK, yeah, well, practice makes better.
[923.5s] Well, yeah, you don't necessarily need perfection.
[927.4s] You told me that.
[928.3s] You don't need to be throwing kids balls up on the roof
[931.1s] and then telling me to go get it.
[933.0s] There was a crowd of kids.
[935.6s] They were excited.
[937.6s] No, you looked great.
[939.0s] You were up on the flagpole.
[940.8s] The wind was blowing.
[942.6s] The nice mist coming off of you
[944.9s] looked really elegant.
[947.4s] I'm just saying you looked like a hero.
[951.3s] I didn't get the ball.
[952.9s] Quentin doesn't care about that ball.
[955.6s] You look over.
[956.3s] Quentin's just sitting sadly on the street.
[960.4s] Bouncing an invisible ball.
[962.9s] I throw balls up on the top of the roof every other day.
[965.4s] It's fine.
[966.2s] We'll get it back down.
[967.2s] I know we will.
[968.3s] I'm just saying he can go up there and get it right now.
[971.5s] He's just lazy.
[972.4s] Put me on stage.
[975.2s] I won't put you on the stage anymore.
[976.7s] I was just trying a pressure tactic.
[978.4s] Well, I didn't like it and it wasn't appreciated.
[980.4s] I'm sorry.
[981.4s] Now I feel silly.
[982.6s] I'm sorry.
[985.9s] So you want to go to the Dembuns though?
[993.3s] I mean, yeah.
[994.5s] Maybe go check on Bonwyn.
[995.8s] We haven't seen Bonwyn in a while.
[998.3s] She's been very busy.
[999.8s] She has been very busy.
[1001.3s] Yeah, we could go to the Dembuns though and get some stuff
[1004.0s] and then go see Bonwyn.
[1006.1s] Let's bring traits.
[1008.3s] OK, let's go.
[1015.4s] Back at the Forge, Follan and all of his crew
[1018.8s] have tested everything out, have brought everything out.
[1021.1s] Everybody is very thrilled with all of the work
[1024.4s] you've done.
[1024.8s] Follan comes over, I know we've got to settle up,
[1027.2s] but this is amazing work.
[1030.8s] The bAlydince in these, we cut ourselves three times,
[1034.4s] no fault of your own.
[1036.4s] No, I mean, they're so sharp you don't even notice at first.
[1039.2s] Just slices.
[1040.2s] I mean, that one guy, I'm not sure why.
[1044.0s] You know, you don't run your hand up the blade.
[1046.2s] What was he thinking?
[1047.5s] Well, look, my group is new.
[1049.6s] My group is new.
[1050.4s] New adventurers, I understand.
[1051.8s] And we're trying something new.
[1053.6s] He was an accountant.
[1056.7s] And now we're going to go see if we can't track down
[1060.1s] treasure and monsters and whatever else is happening.
[1065.1s] That's amazing.
[1066.1s] Right?
[1066.9s] Russ, are they all a similar age to him?
[1069.4s] Is this a bucket list situation?
[1071.5s] Yeah, yeah, I think so.
[1073.0s] Oh, I love that.
[1074.2s] I love it.
[1074.7s] Yeah, it's good.
[1075.6s] So yeah, looking like they're in their 50s, probably.
[1082.8s] Have lived a good life, have done a lot of things.
[1085.0s] This guy's clearly got money,
[1086.6s] and he's bringing his friends along for an adventure.
[1089.0s] It's what we could all hope for, right?
[1091.8s] Sounds great.
[1093.3s] Which one of us is going to get money?
[1097.2s] That person can bring the rest of us along.
[1099.2s] Yeah, whichever one of us gets money.
[1100.8s] Kyle's not here, so let's say Kyle.
[1102.8s] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1103.8s] Kyle is hard.
[1105.2s] He's got the business plan.
[1106.4s] He knows what's happening.
[1108.4s] Where are you going on your first adventure?
[1110.5s] Do you guys know yet?
[1111.8s] Well, yeah, we're going up into the Mi Mountains first,
[1114.6s] and then we're heading over, and there's
[1116.7s] a little township over on the other side there
[1119.1s] that we've heard some pretty good things about.
[1121.4s] And there might be a lead on some buried treasure
[1127.1s] off further into the marshland beyond there.
[1130.8s] OK, cool.
[1132.2s] I'm sure I told you this before,
[1134.2s] but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't reiterate
[1136.4s] it.
[1136.9s] If you find what appears to be an old mine shaft,
[1139.9s] an old factory shaft in the Mi Mountains,
[1143.8s] you do not want to go down there.
[1145.9s] There is not treasure.
[1147.9s] There is only terror.
[1150.3s] Oh.
[1150.9s] Not the fun adventure kind, the like you might die kind.
[1154.4s] So just give that a pass.
[1156.6s] Maybe go practice first before even thinking
[1160.0s] about any of that.
[1161.2s] Yeah, hey.
[1162.0s] Practice would be really good.
[1163.8s] He looks to you and Kav as well,
[1166.8s] and he says, you two look like you
[1171.2s] didn't usually sound like you may
[1173.1s] have adventured a little bit.
[1175.4s] I've done a little dabbling.
[1177.2s] A little.
[1177.7s] A little, yeah.
[1178.9s] Yeah, we have.
[1180.0s] Yeah.
[1180.6s] So like what would it cost to bring the two of you along?
[1186.5s] Oh.
[1188.0s] Huh.
[1188.8s] At that moment, I kick open the door.
[1192.2s] Treats.
[1193.0s] And Tally and I are like, we have snacks.
[1198.5s] Hey.
[1199.5s] Hey, hey, hey.
[1200.3s] Thank you.
[1202.0s] Come on in.
[1202.6s] Come on in.
[1203.0s] We just did the big reveal.
[1204.2s] You know all that stuff I was making?
[1206.3s] There's a lot of food.
[1207.3s] A lot of gesture to all of the people,
[1209.7s] all decked out in their new armor and weapons
[1212.6s] and all their cool new stuff.
[1214.2s] How many people are we talking about, Russ,
[1216.0s] when we say like, it's full of people?
[1218.6s] So what did I say?
[1219.9s] There were five others with Folland.
[1221.7s] So six unknowns to you, and then
[1225.2s] Baldwin, Kav, and Thane, and then you and Tally.
[1228.4s] OK, it's crowded in here.
[1230.1s] There's like 10 people shoved into the forge here.
[1232.3s] Yeah.
[1232.9s] All right.
[1233.4s] You thought it was hot before there was 10 people in here?
[1236.8s] We'd be sweating now.
[1238.1s] Yeah.
[1239.3s] Are you guys having, I didn't, we didn't bring enough.
[1244.1s] Oh, no, no, no, that's OK.
[1245.6s] We're on our way out here.
[1247.1s] I was just settling up with your friend here.
[1249.3s] And yeah, think on it.
[1251.4s] We're going to be in town for another couple days,
[1253.6s] just making sure we've got everything we need.
[1255.3s] Leaving pretty soon then, hey?
[1257.0s] Yeah, well, we've been, like I've
[1258.3s] been in town for a while.
[1259.4s] They just got in last week.
[1262.3s] We had intended to go earlier.
[1263.8s] Have you done any training?
[1265.4s] Like, I know that June was doing like a side hustle thing,
[1269.9s] where she was kind of doing some basic combat training
[1274.6s] and survival skills and things like that.
[1276.9s] You know, now that-
[1277.5s] Might want to check it out.
[1278.7s] She is a well-rounded individual.
[1282.0s] She's had a lot of different experiences,
[1284.5s] not the least of which was teaching school, which
[1287.4s] gives you a lot of skills for facing wild animals out
[1292.3s] there.
[1292.8s] Oh, you mean her June Doe classes?
[1294.6s] June Doe classes.
[1296.0s] That's what she calls it.
[1297.1s] Yes.
[1297.6s] Cav, thank you.
[1298.8s] Thank you, yeah.
[1299.5s] You should check it out.
[1300.4s] I will check it out.
[1301.4s] I think I've seen some flyers up around town.
[1303.8s] So yeah, absolutely, we'll check that out.
[1305.6s] See if she's got one before we want to head out.
[1307.9s] And if it's close, we'll just make sure we catch one.
[1310.4s] If they're as good as you say they are.
[1313.2s] He turns and looks, and somebody else
[1315.0s] has like dropped one of them through the top of their shoe.
[1319.4s] Just barely missed their foot.
[1321.1s] Like pulled it out and like, we got a little practice to do.
[1324.7s] Yeah, there's scabbards for all those.
[1326.2s] You're fine.
[1326.8s] Maybe just put them away for now.
[1328.5s] Yeah, I'll put them back.
[1330.0s] OK.
[1331.5s] Be careful with them.
[1333.4s] Think on it.
[1334.1s] We will.
[1334.8s] I'll check back in before we go.
[1340.1s] Welcome to the middle, everybody.
[1342.0s] Great to have you here.
[1343.2s] So happy you're here.
[1344.6s] It's a beautiful, sunshiny day somewhere,
[1348.1s] and we're hope you're enjoying it.
[1350.4s] Hopefully where you are, unless you prefer the rain,
[1353.1s] then I hope it's raining.
[1354.2s] I hope it's your best favorite weather.
[1355.9s] Yes.
[1357.8s] But we're not here to talk about the weather.
[1359.6s] Oh, no.
[1361.1s] We're here to talk about Tom's favorite thing.
[1364.7s] Oh, boy.
[1365.2s] Pray tell.
[1366.0s] Which is?
[1366.7s] Which is?
[1368.7s] Oh, it's a question for me.
[1370.1s] I thought you were going to tell me.
[1372.1s] I'm not going to tee up your favorite.
[1373.1s] I'm not going to take that thunder.
[1374.1s] Who am I, Justin?
[1375.4s] I'm not going to take that thunder from you.
[1377.5s] I mean, maybe.
[1378.4s] I don't know.
[1379.9s] OK, favorite thing?
[1381.5s] Well, I'm kind of like thinking about homemade pasta,
[1384.0s] because I did homemade pasta on the weekend.
[1385.5s] You did homemade pasta on the weekend?
[1387.0s] And it was so good, guys.
[1389.8s] We're talking like a linguine, like a spaghetti.
[1392.2s] We did a ravioli that was stuffed with pumpkin
[1396.0s] and ricotta.
[1397.0s] Yes, it was.
[1397.9s] And then it was cooked in a brown butter
[1400.6s] sage and walnut sauce.
[1402.2s] Shit.
[1403.6s] Is that recipe going to go up on our Discord?
[1406.3s] I mean, it could.
[1407.8s] I think it should.
[1409.5s] And if you join our Discord, which is entirely free
[1413.0s] to get all of Tom's pictures of food,
[1415.9s] he posts some recipes, but mostly just pictures.
[1418.3s] You have to reverse engineer them
[1419.8s] to be able to remake them.
[1421.3s] Taste with your eyes.
[1422.4s] I see we need the clues now.
[1424.2s] Make the meal.
[1424.9s] That's right.
[1425.5s] You see all of the layers.
[1427.4s] Now put it together.
[1429.3s] But yeah, join us in our Discord.
[1430.6s] There's a link down in the description.
[1432.2s] Pretty sure it's there.
[1433.8s] So you can find it.
[1435.8s] Because if it wasn't there, you wouldn't be able to.
[1438.2s] But it is there.
[1439.0s] I'm pretty sure it's there.
[1440.3s] Russ is like 80% sure it's there.
[1442.1s] It's hidden somewhere.
[1443.3s] I've hyperlinked one period somewhere.
[1446.4s] And now it's a scavenger hunt.
[1449.0s] Now you're on a quest.
[1450.0s] If you can't find it, ask somebody in the Discord.
[1452.4s] They'll help you out.
[1453.2s] That's true.
[1453.6s] We have really lovely people in the Discord.
[1456.8s] A lot of our patrons are in the Discord.
[1459.0s] They are in the Discord.
[1460.2s] And when you're a patron.
[1461.7s] They don't put up with any of this bullshit.
[1463.4s] They do not.
[1464.3s] But they do get an episode dedicated to them.
[1467.0s] Yeah, they do.
[1468.4s] Today's patron, Faust the Heavenly Demonic Monster.
[1473.4s] Oh, wow.
[1475.6s] Sounds like a deal.
[1478.1s] I knew we had some powerful listeners.
[1480.6s] But I maybe underestimated how powerful.
[1483.1s] I want to follow this person immediately.
[1486.0s] Not on socials, but to the depths of hell.
[1489.3s] To the edge of the world.
[1491.3s] On a quest.
[1492.5s] I mean, what are we fighting?
[1493.5s] To the grocery store.
[1494.2s] Whatever.
[1494.7s] I mean, to infinity and beyond.
[1497.2s] Oh, no.
[1497.6s] Litigious.
[1499.2s] Yeah.
[1500.5s] Throw in the bed and the bath, too, while we're at it.
[1502.3s] Let's fucking go.
[1503.7s] You know it.
[1504.7s] All right.
[1506.1s] Well, thank you, Faust.
[1507.0s] Yes, thank you.
[1507.7s] Thank you.
[1509.4s] And all the honorifics that follow it.
[1510.9s] The Heavenly Demonic Monster.
[1513.3s] That's the one.
[1514.2s] You nailed it.
[1514.9s] Not just any normal Faust.
[1517.4s] That specific one.
[1519.1s] So you, too, could be like Faust.
[1520.6s] You could be a Faust of your own sort
[1522.1s] at patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[1525.0s] Where you get one week free.
[1526.6s] When you sign up, it's pretty fun.
[1529.2s] You can test it out.
[1530.1s] See what you like.
[1531.1s] And then hopefully you enjoy all of this.
[1538.3s] All of this.
[1539.7s] But slightly different.
[1541.0s] Just how could you not?
[1543.9s] How could you not?
[1544.4s] You made it this far.
[1545.5s] What are we, like, 800 episodes in?
[1547.5s] You're still listening?
[1548.8s] Like, obviously.
[1549.8s] Come on now.
[1550.3s] What is this middle?
[1551.1s] 10 minutes now?
[1551.7s] You're still listening?
[1553.0s] Come on.
[1554.2s] We're obviously best friends.
[1556.6s] If this is your first time, though,
[1558.2s] give it some time, please, because you're super cool
[1560.7s] and we just want you to just give us a chance.
[1564.2s] But the rest of you, you get it.
[1566.0s] Yeah.
[1567.0s] Thanks for being here.
[1568.2s] Time to get back to the episode now.
[1571.0s] Love you, bye.
[1572.4s] Love you, bye.
[1576.8s] Kav, did you hear that?
[1578.1s] He wants to hire us to go with them.
[1581.5s] What?
[1582.0s] Go with them where?
[1582.9s] Where are you going?
[1583.9s] Like on an adventure.
[1585.0s] Adventuring.
[1587.4s] You guys are leaving on an adventure?
[1589.6s] Well, no, no.
[1590.6s] We haven't even talked about it.
[1591.9s] He just offered.
[1593.0s] Yeah.
[1593.6s] So something to think about, something
[1596.5s] to discuss amongst ourselves.
[1599.2s] And I mean, we can just leave.
[1603.2s] We need to talk to Bazaar.
[1604.6s] I need to talk to Thane.
[1606.2s] We need to talk to you.
[1608.4s] Like, there's a lot.
[1609.7s] Oh, she beams.
[1611.5s] What?
[1613.0s] There's a lot of things to consider.
[1615.6s] Yeah, like who would stay back and babysit me?
[1620.8s] Do you feel like you need a babysitter?
[1623.8s] I feel like you've really been taking care
[1626.4s] of a lot of things yourself.
[1628.0s] Yeah, you're right.
[1629.8s] I could probably stay back.
[1633.0s] No, I think.
[1633.6s] I don't think that's what anyone meant.
[1635.2s] No, no.
[1635.8s] Yeah, no, you would come with us.
[1638.1s] Because the school's open now, and the kids are all OK.
[1640.9s] And like, I don't know, I kind of feel like.
[1643.6s] You don't need to babysit anymore.
[1645.6s] Yeah, I feel like we're like a team, kind of.
[1649.5s] I do feel like we're a team.
[1651.4s] I mean, whenever there's nobody else
[1655.6s] other than you two and Bazaar,
[1657.8s] I'd want to go into a weird other plane
[1661.2s] with terrifying creatures with.
[1662.6s] Tally hands you a coffee and a muffin.
[1665.8s] And you've got Tally to make sure the younger kids are OK.
[1669.4s] And that's a really important job,
[1670.8s] because you were doing that for so long.
[1672.9s] I do rely on her a lot.
[1674.1s] But now you can really trust Tally
[1676.0s] to make sure everyone's OK.
[1677.6s] I will put them through the same rigorous training
[1679.8s] that I put you through today, Alydin.
[1683.0s] You're going to yell at them until they transport
[1685.5s] themselves on top of a flagpole?
[1688.3s] The teachers can do that.
[1690.8s] You are there now, I think, Tally,
[1693.6s] more for emotional support, for people as a confidant.
[1702.1s] OK.
[1703.8s] Solving problems on the playground.
[1705.6s] Solving problems on the playground.
[1707.7s] Just sort of a respected authority figure
[1710.5s] among the children.
[1712.0s] Someone to look up to.
[1713.1s] But don't get power creates.
[1714.2s] OK, OK, OK, I'm on board with this.
[1718.1s] Yeah, so you guys brought treats.
[1719.6s] What kind of treats did you get?
[1721.0s] Oh, you know, they had some fresh doughnuts.
[1723.9s] Oh, love it.
[1725.3s] The filled muffins.
[1726.6s] They're here, too.
[1729.1s] I think they're the pumpkin muffins with the spiced
[1731.9s] cream cheese inside.
[1733.2s] Oh, all right.
[1736.2s] Thank you.
[1737.0s] That's so nice of you two to bring treats.
[1739.0s] You guys have been so busy lately.
[1740.8s] And Bazaar has been, like, really busy
[1746.4s] and doing super important stuff.
[1748.8s] And so, you know.
[1751.6s] Yeah, I mean, the life of a small business owner,
[1753.8s] when you have a few weeks where you disappear,
[1756.6s] and then you're, well, first, you're fighting monsters.
[1759.3s] The town half burns down.
[1760.7s] Then you disappear.
[1762.1s] Then there's a court.
[1763.1s] Like, I mean, that's a lot to catch up on.
[1766.3s] Thank God for Thayn.
[1768.4s] Thayn, seriously, you are a saint.
[1771.3s] You're amazing.
[1773.6s] Say no more.
[1774.2s] Say no more.
[1774.8s] And he kind of puts his keys in his pocket.
[1777.1s] I was just heading out.
[1778.1s] Are you heading down to Bench's tonight, Brood Awakening?
[1781.4s] Yeah.
[1782.0s] Hey, swing past Mirror, Mirror, Mirror.
[1784.6s] We're going to as well when we leave.
[1786.4s] And just take a look.
[1787.6s] I'll let you know if I see anything.
[1788.5s] OK.
[1789.0s] OK.
[1789.5s] Well, good to see everybody.
[1790.6s] I'll hopefully see you at the Brood Awakening.
[1792.6s] I appreciate you.
[1795.2s] What's he looking for at Mirror, Mirror, Mirror?
[1798.4s] Well, his beautiful face.
[1799.4s] I was going to say, Little Vane.
[1800.5s] But also, we saw something weird.
[1801.8s] What?
[1802.6s] What weird?
[1804.4s] Weird, like, so he's walking past the mirrors,
[1807.2s] saw himself.
[1807.9s] And then in one of the mirrors, he saw a figure in a forest,
[1812.8s] not someone he recognized, kind of dressed
[1815.6s] in flowers or something.
[1818.4s] That sounds nice.
[1819.8s] And then when he went back, like, did a woo,
[1822.4s] they were, it was just a mirror again.
[1826.6s] So something to keep an eye on.
[1830.0s] You guys seen anything like that before?
[1832.2s] Well, things have been kind of weird since we got back.
[1836.6s] Uh, Tom and Amy, roll a D100.
[1841.1s] Oh, oh.
[1842.1s] Are we playing Cthulhu?
[1843.4s] I'm worried.
[1844.7s] Right?
[1846.0s] 34.
[1847.2s] Nope, that's a 7.
[1848.2s] 37.
[1850.0s] 62.
[1853.0s] 37.
[1857.7s] Amy, that's what you've seen.
[1859.9s] And 62.
[1863.3s] OK, I dropped into the studio chat.
[1865.4s] Amy, you can read yours there.
[1866.6s] Yeah, no, I don't.
[1868.6s] You know how when you're going walking down by the river?
[1874.0s] Right, of course.
[1875.5s] And it's, like, dusk, and it's so peaceful.
[1881.4s] Golden hour, lovely.
[1883.0s] And I just kind of like to sit and, you know, think.
[1888.3s] And you know how sometimes the river just sings?
[1894.3s] Like through the majesty of, like, gurgles and burbles,
[1897.2s] like of a river sort of sound?
[1899.0s] Yeah, I love that.
[1899.9s] It's really soothing.
[1901.0s] More like a beautiful, like, ah, like, I don't know.
[1914.5s] I can't sing.
[1915.4s] But like a voice, they're not saying words.
[1919.6s] And like, it's a river.
[1923.2s] Huh.
[1924.8s] I have not experienced that.
[1927.4s] It sounds actually kind of gorgeous.
[1930.0s] I mean, it wasn't the worst thing.
[1932.0s] Is it nice?
[1933.1s] It seems maybe unsettling, but kind of lovely.
[1936.3s] Only at the golden hour, or?
[1939.1s] Yeah, what's the hair on the back of your neck
[1941.7s] like when you hear this?
[1943.2s] Oh, great question.
[1944.5s] Great question.
[1946.2s] Well, it stands up a little bit,
[1948.3s] and I get the goosebumps.
[1950.9s] And sometimes you get that just from hearing beautiful singing,
[1953.4s] so.
[1953.8s] Yeah.
[1955.3s] And I don't, like, I've been doing this thing
[1957.7s] where I'm in one place, and then I'm in another place,
[1961.1s] and I'm all wet.
[1962.0s] And so I don't know, I kind of, like, maybe the river
[1965.6s] is apologizing to me.
[1968.5s] Oh, through song.
[1969.6s] Oh, through song.
[1970.6s] Yeah.
[1971.4s] I'm damp most of the day.
[1972.8s] I mean, I feel like literally anything
[1974.4s] is possible in this town now, so.
[1976.3s] That's true, yeah.
[1978.2s] I've had, like, a little back of the neck thing lately, too.
[1983.4s] You know, it hasn't been, like, very, like, moon forward
[1986.4s] lately.
[1987.0s] It's been kind of cloudy.
[1989.7s] Well, I've been seeing that, like, the lanterns are glowing,
[1994.8s] but there's no oil in them.
[1998.6s] Maybe, is there a candle?
[2000.6s] No, no, no candle either.
[2003.3s] Good question, though.
[2005.0s] Firefly in there, something?
[2006.6s] Oh, the glowy things that Bazaar can do, the glowy magic.
[2012.7s] Oh, maybe that's it, yeah.
[2013.8s] The glowy magic.
[2014.5s] When he does that, like, the hair on my neck
[2016.4s] doesn't stand up.
[2018.1s] Well, and he's, like, usually there.
[2020.6s] There to, like, make it happen.
[2022.6s] This is just like, you see a lantern,
[2024.6s] and you're like, oh, that's weird.
[2026.0s] I thought it was empty of oil, but still glowing.
[2028.9s] 100%.
[2031.8s] Convenient.
[2033.5s] Sure, yeah.
[2036.2s] But also weird.
[2037.9s] Also a little weird.
[2039.0s] Are weird things happening again already?
[2041.3s] Did we bring weird things back with us?
[2044.8s] Oh, Alydin, an insightful question.
[2049.6s] Is it our fault?
[2050.9s] Is that what you're saying?
[2052.4s] Well.
[2053.2s] I mean, it might be.
[2054.4s] It might be our fault.
[2056.9s] They sound like nice things so far,
[2058.7s] but I don't trust weird things,
[2060.5s] whether they're nice or not.
[2062.7s] I wish Bazaar was here.
[2064.8s] Oh, me too.
[2066.0s] Where is our weird stuff expert when we need him?
[2069.2s] I could go get some books, but he really
[2071.1s] asked that I give him and his mom some time to.
[2077.3s] And his new dad.
[2082.1s] Don't say that in front of him.
[2083.5s] No, he would be so mad.
[2085.9s] It's not funny to him, and I understand why it's not.
[2089.2s] There's a lot of raw emotion there,
[2092.4s] but it's nice to see her so happy, isn't it?
[2094.7s] She sings.
[2095.8s] Not like the river, but dusting around the store.
[2101.3s] So we can't ask him.
[2103.5s] Tali, any ideas?
[2106.4s] This muffin is very good.
[2107.8s] Good.
[2108.2s] Solid, solid, solid input.
[2110.2s] Astute.
[2112.5s] I don't know.
[2113.2s] Maybe go to the.
[2115.2s] Maybe you could just go just call it for the day
[2117.8s] and go to the Brewed Awakening with your friends.
[2119.9s] I don't know.
[2121.0s] I mean, there's nothing wrong happening, like bad.
[2124.8s] There's nothing wrong happening.
[2126.0s] Nobody's hurt.
[2126.6s] We could gather some intel from other people.
[2129.4s] I mean, it doesn't sound like it's just happening to us
[2132.8s] who were in the weird place.
[2134.2s] Thane's also seeing weird things.
[2136.5s] And now we all know, and we're now
[2140.1s] actively thinking about it.
[2142.7s] So we could start noticing more.
[2145.2s] Yes, gathering the clues.
[2147.2s] This might be, Tali, a great time to,
[2153.1s] let's do a little test.
[2154.3s] If Alydin were to leave town and you were like the official
[2158.1s] oldest kid, let's see how things would go.
[2160.6s] Let's do a little test.
[2161.7s] Why don't you head back to the school
[2166.0s] and then let us know in the morning that things went OK.
[2169.2s] Oh, yeah, sure.
[2170.6s] I could do that.
[2171.6s] Easy, peasy.
[2172.4s] Yeah, lemon squeezy.
[2174.1s] Hey, we totally trust you.
[2175.6s] You're going to do a great job.
[2177.1s] You can do this, Tali.
[2178.3s] I trust that you trust me.
[2181.2s] Are you guys going to eat all the rest of those muffins?
[2184.4s] No, you go ahead.
[2185.6s] You should take them.
[2186.8s] Well, I want, and I take one and I put it in my bucket.
[2190.0s] She picks them all up and she starts heading up.
[2191.9s] Now that you're in charge, those
[2192.6s] are also for the kids, right?
[2194.0s] Oh, yeah, of course.
[2195.0s] You just don't want them to leave them overnight
[2196.9s] as she's heading out.
[2197.8s] Because, you know, food left overnight that's out
[2201.0s] just grows those tiny mushrooms.
[2202.8s] She heads out into the street.
[2205.6s] Wait, what?
[2207.2s] OK, I think I think that's maybe
[2208.9s] another one of those things.
[2210.0s] Maybe, or she's confused and she's
[2211.8s] talking it when it gets all moldy.
[2213.5s] Like mold?
[2214.7s] Does she think mold is tiny mushrooms?
[2217.2s] I mean, maybe, but also, I don't leave a lot of food around.
[2220.0s] You know what, it could be me neither.
[2222.9s] Yeah, let's go to Brewed Awakening.
[2224.5s] Let's see what everyone else has seen.
[2226.4s] Yeah.
[2228.1s] You all make your way down towards the Brewed Awakening.
[2230.7s] It's a, what time?
[2233.6s] I didn't say it was a beautiful day.
[2235.4s] I didn't necessarily place a specific time.
[2237.1s] No, we sent her back to the school.
[2239.5s] We sent her back to the school.
[2240.5s] Thayne finished off for the day.
[2242.1s] So it's the end of the day.
[2243.1s] Like 2 PM.
[2244.2s] Yeah, love it.
[2245.8s] You're all heading down to the Brewed Awakening.
[2247.8s] And there's a few people heading there.
[2250.5s] It's a busy night.
[2251.8s] And as you're all walking up,
[2254.8s] you see a youngish man in perhaps two big robes.
[2261.5s] He's carrying a satchel that's bulging
[2264.0s] with papers and journals and loose scrolls that
[2267.0s] are tied haphazardly together.
[2269.8s] His glasses, you notice as he's kind of looking down
[2273.8s] and trying to filter through this bag,
[2275.8s] keeps sliding down his nose, and he
[2277.5s] keeps bumping them back up.
[2279.6s] And he's crossing the square towards the Brewed Awakening
[2282.1s] as well.
[2283.0s] And something catches his attention.
[2286.2s] And he trips on a cobblestone.
[2289.8s] All of the papers, all of the parchment,
[2292.2s] scraps everywhere.
[2293.7s] And he starts scrambling around.
[2295.4s] A couple people are stepping over him.
[2297.0s] One kind of passes.
[2298.2s] I mean, I'm going to try and go help.
[2299.6s] And nobody can stop to help at all.
[2301.5s] You guys rush over.
[2303.0s] I expect more of the people of Vintersmouth,
[2305.0s] but I'm going to help him.
[2308.6s] Oh, sweetheart, you got to watch where you're walking here.
[2310.9s] It's busy.
[2311.6s] It's everyone's heading to the pub.
[2312.8s] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2313.9s] Thank you, thank you.
[2315.2s] This one was in a puddle.
[2316.4s] It's wet.
[2317.3s] He's scrambling.
[2318.3s] He puts it.
[2318.9s] He kind of just brushes it off and slips it in his bag.
[2320.2s] Obviously, I try and read these as I'm like,
[2322.6s] I can't even help it.
[2323.6s] I just know how to read.
[2324.6s] And when I see words, I know what they mean.
[2326.4s] What do I see?
[2327.8s] You see?
[2328.7s] Anything cool?
[2330.2s] Is it just pictures of naked girls?
[2331.7s] It's pictures of exclusively naked women.
[2333.6s] And like being in Vegas.
[2334.9s] And he's just got flyers he's handing out.
[2338.2s] No, it's not.
[2339.4s] They look academic.
[2340.5s] They look like there's perhaps
[2342.6s] on some similar things that you've seen with Bazaar,
[2346.2s] different magical scrolls.
[2348.2s] You see different historical events that
[2351.6s] have happened through time.
[2353.0s] And as you're handing them back and he's collecting them,
[2356.9s] he quickly stops and looks down to the ground,
[2360.2s] very distracted.
[2361.9s] And all you can see is a bit of glass.
[2363.8s] And he goes down and picks it up and holds it up
[2366.2s] to the light that's still left in the sky.
[2368.3s] And he says, oh, fascinating refractive qualities
[2372.0s] of this.
[2373.3s] Isn't that just glass?
[2374.3s] It's just glass, isn't it?
[2377.4s] What was I doing?
[2379.5s] All your papers.
[2380.6s] All your worldly possessions have spilled all over.
[2384.5s] I don't think you're from here.
[2386.4s] New to Vintrosmith?
[2388.0s] Yes, yes, yes.
[2390.3s] And I'm Alistar.
[2393.9s] And then his eyes get very heavy.
[2397.1s] And he looks like he paints.
[2399.8s] Alistar.
[2400.3s] And falls to the ground.
[2401.4s] Can I try and catch him?
[2402.3s] You can.
[2404.6s] What do I do, athletics?
[2405.5s] Roll athletics, yeah.
[2407.9s] Oh, great.
[2409.6s] Or dexterity.
[2410.2s] Calls on you, crushes you.
[2411.5s] Or acrobatics, crushes you.
[2413.5s] Oh, acrobatics is better.
[2415.6s] Oh, my dex is pretty good.
[2418.5s] Still only a 13, not a great roll.
[2421.1s] You see, and with just barely enough time,
[2424.4s] catch him as his head lolls back.
[2428.1s] And he begins snoring in your arms.
[2430.6s] Oh, my goodness.
[2431.6s] Is this one of the weird things we should
[2433.3s] have been keeping an eye out for?
[2434.6s] Are people going to just start falling asleep?
[2436.6s] I hope not.
[2437.2s] I barely caught this guy.

[2508.8s] Is this Alydin or Amy amnesia?
[2511.3s] Amy's pulling the, I am not yes.
[2513.6s] Anding anything.
[2515.0s] I'm having trouble today.
[2517.1s] I've had the worst couple of weeks.
[2520.5s] My brain can't.
[2521.4s] It's hard to remember if things you can't remember
[2523.2s] because of game amnesia
[2525.0s] or because Alydin doesn't remember.
[2527.2s] That's true.
[2528.0s] I mean, I don't remember any of this.
[2530.0s] Me neither.
[2530.8s] Okay, I just wanted to make sure.
[2533.0s] I'm like, I either am just gonna guess and this or.
[2538.4s] Jess fully remembers all of it.
[2540.4s] Shut up, Jess.
[2541.3s] No, you don't.
[2542.2s] Usually how it works.
[2543.8s] God.
[2546.2s] I just need to know I'm not being gaslit
[2547.9s] and made to look stupid.
[2549.4s] You're not being gaslit.
[2550.3s] There's too much in my brain.
[2551.1s] It happened once in the actual game
[2554.2s] and then we went into trial mode
[2557.6s] where everything got sidelined.
[2560.0s] I do not remember this.
