Input: That's fair. Yeah. Wouldn't mind a short rest either. We might get one in the Villums, or they might be about to strike. Hard to know. Let's get a little-- Maybe we can rest once we find Gaz. Uh, it'd be good to know our timeline here, so we should reach out regardless. All right, I'll reach out. Okay. Also location, perhaps, in case this explosion is, you know, under our feet. Yeah, right here. That would be really good to know, actually. Sure. Blue one's smart. All right. Very smart, that one. Yeah. Gaz, it's Bells Hells. Where can we meet you? We're here to help. We have a team to be even more effective. There's a detonation coming. Are we sure he's not a traitor? We need to meet. Are you a traitor? (laughter) So cool. Just this once. Hey. Good to hear your voice. I wasn't sure if you made it. (laughter) Nic Cage is so versatile. (laughter) He can do anything. He really can. Whole lot going on. We're at the ceramic tower. Ceramic. Looks like a fork. That's it. All right. Wait, are we not looking at the ceramic tower? I'm going to look across the tower. Immediately see if there's a fourth tower. If we see a ceramic-- See a fourth tower. Perception check. Anybody with a high enough perception wants to roll. Two of you get to roll perception on this. 29. Oh, wait, two of us? 17. I think he's already got it. You got two of them. Yeah. All right. So 29. Glancing across, all these different-- The actual construction of these buildings is wild. Parts of it seem to be mimicry of Exandrian cultural constructions and buildings, but they all weave in an nonsensical way. You can see all manner of odd spires. Some that, you know, are bridged across, not unlike The Banners above, you know, topside Kreviris. You do see one spiral tower that has a darker, fired brown coloration to the stone and rock of Ruidus, and it seems to splinter off into three different points, and in each point, there's a little bit of Ruidian glass crystal that's affixed to it like a decoration. All right, I point it out from the window. Oh yeah. That's got to be it, right? That looks like a fork. Yep, that's a fork. So cool that they know what forks are. Well, I mean, they eat. We must have dreamed about forks at some point. Forks, yeah. I think they probably would've made something of similar quality regardless. Some cultures don't have forks. That's true. No, I know, but some sort of utensil to eat food, maybe. At Taste of Tal'Dorei, you just eat the chicken wing with your hands. That's true. Straight off. Yeah. But it's so salty. They do that so you'll buy the drinks. So many of the drinks. I mean, they're so good though. That makes so much sense. In Silas's head, she hears Dorian say: Real quick, how did you get out of here last time? I saw the entrance, but how did you get back? There are tunnels that run from the

Input: surely this is just not practical. Like cleaning this is just a nightmare surely. uh yeah. like the reason why I don't grind my own coffee beans and do all that it's 'cause the absolute mess that it makes. and it takes so much time. like I remember I got an espresso machine before like the Nespresso. it actually was a proper espresso machine where you have to like grind your beans yourself, put it in and it made so much fucking mess and it took so much time. thank you. cleaning it is such a bitch. like you're having to clean the fucking beans every time you wanna just make a fucking cup of coffee. uh yeah. I remember I bought as well one of those fucking pots that you put on the stove, and you put the espresso on the top and the water on the bottom and it boils through. watching. yeah, we used to have that at home. I could never get that to taste right. I don't know why. it didn't taste good, 'cause it was so hard to get the balance right. yeah. and also cleaning it was so fucking difficult. I felt like I was trying to clean like iron man's heart socket. my fucking hand couldn't fit in it, and it never got cleaned. you just have a big hand. yeah, as a result you just sewing it. and it never got to it. it was like trying to clean the inside of a Pringles can. it was a nightmare. like I couldn't get in there, and it was just terrible, and then it kept scratching my stove 'cause it was metal. and I was like, "Oh fucks sake." uh and then it turns out when you grind coffee beans, they expire. no one told me this until I was wondering why my coffee tastes likes shit. it tastes sour. this is a sour blend. uh it's got some bite back to it. I drank it for like like three weeks, like sour ass coffee. holy shit! 'cause I was like, "Fuck this gourmet stuff." you drown it in milk though, right? no, no, I was drinking espresso. and I was like, it tastes like one of those- like stomach acid. sulfuric acid espresso but I thought this is how the Italians do it, fuck. did it affect your digestive system? I felt awful every time I did it, but I thought this was a good espresso. it's a good espresso. expensive coffee beans. and then I looked on the back of this and it had expired like three months ago. literally drinking what, acid? yeah. oh God! it's terrible. gosh! how often. there's so much food stuff though. where it's just a whole thing of balance, versus this is just impractical. it's making so much mess. I need so much equipment versus I just want to eat. yeah. yeah. if you have time though, if you're just doing it to relax. the process of it is meditating. feel like it's a hobby. it has to be a hobby. why did you look at me? I don't know. you know about meditation right? the same thing that Connor did. that feels racist. are you being monkist right now?

Input:
heavy, dark fey armor. You see a pale figure with dark hair begin to emerge from illusory invisibility as the Sorrowlord Zathuda--
How the fuck--
-- seems to be now standing amongst this open space.
You've got this.
As soon as Sarah saw the sugar glider hovering in space, he went flat on the ground.
Okay. The figure stands there, looking at your bird form. So. Difficult to converse in this form, I'd say.
I pretend I'm a bird and I keep flying around.
You panic flap?
I panic flap.
I'm just a bird. I'm just a bird. Nothing to see here.
He knows it's you.
I know.
I'm just thinking maybe I could--
Denial, denial, denial.
Maybe I can fool him.
Denial, denial.
All right, you know what? I'm going to settle on the ground and look up at him, and I'm going to drop my Wild Shape.
Okay. As you revert to your normal form, standing upon your hooves, tall and exuding the presence that is Rowan Calloway here in this shadowed pre-sunrise state. The Sorrowlord looks to you. It would seem Otohan has fallen. I smell her ruin upon your person. The smoke and soot of retribution still lingers. Well done.
Hi, daddy.
Nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you, officially, my daughter.
What do you want?
I sense you walk with a secret fire. Begins to step and walk parallel to where you stand. The creature's still chittering on his shoulder. His cloak slowly billowing with each step behind you. The flame is churning within, eager to consume in an endless inferno. Something not of my make. Something more ancient.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You've truly grown into something terrible and wonderful. Slow to rise, but rise you do. My impatience remains my truest failing. But I'm proud to see what you've become.
Why?
Because I feared that I'd failed in creating something worthy of my bloodline. Ludinus has long belittled my contributions to the cause with my failure in you. Such strong Court blood should've produced a Ruidusborn heir greater than a simple farm girl. These words, but perhaps you are just yet to find your potential. To unlock it. Perhaps, indeed, my kin can still be the one to pass the Hallowed Cage. And awaken it.
What does that mean?
I apologize. Rowan. My absence as a father through your life might be the cause of your stunted ascendance and I intend to correct that mistake at this 11th hour.
I don't need you to do anything. I don't even know you. I don't understand what you want with me.
You might not know me consciously. But part of you knows we're connected. As you look at yourself, you can see that faint red energy glowing ever so faintly off your body here in the proximity of the red Ruidian light. That odd drifting, dull nightlight glow.
Did you love her? Birdie.
Birdie was part of a long plan and she played her part well. But you're the entire reason I put up with any of these low born. I think there's greatness in you. I can help you reach it.
How?
I want you to come with me.
Where?
To learn. To be taught.

Output:
- The Sorrowlord Zathuda revealed himself to the party while they were in bird form, causing panic and confusion among the players.
- Rowan Calloway settled on the ground and reverted from Wild Shape, standing as herself before the entity.

- He explained that his absence had stunted her ascendance and expressed regret over failing to produce a greater heir for his cause.
- Zathuda admitted that "Birdie" was merely a pawn in a long plan, stating that Rowan was the true reason for his involvement.
- Finally, Zathuda requested that Rowan come with him to learn and be taught, offering to help her reach her greatness.

Marcus: (Tim) There's more to this. The cat waffles are amazing. I highly recommend. Borlan: Oh! Aria: I think we walk over to the middle and float on up. Is that how it works here? Gwen: Well, Julian's not here, but yes, that is how it works here. Aria: (shouts) Is that how it works here? Borlan: Yeah, that seems to be how we-- Gwen: You hear very distantly: (Julian) Come up and eat some breakfast! Aria: (Arthur) Come up and eat some breakfast! There's cookies, too, if you want them. DM: (laughs) Borlan: We go up. Marcus: Yeah. DM: All right. All right, for those of you that have woken, you go and gather up and begin to enjoy a fairly well-prepared morning meal for being on the moon. Aria: Oh gosh! Gwen: It's very zen here. Nadia: (Derek) I can't believe we're on the moon! Dorian: (Lyra) Yes. You've only seen just a little bit of it. There's so much! Nadia: (Cedric) There's so much to see.

Input:
going to take a run at this Kreviris place and roll the dice a little bit, is there anything that we can take care of for you here in the outpost? Anyone you want us to rough up or disappear? thank you
So it seems they've revealed their true intent! Looks like they're a bunch of thugs coming through here to just knife some of the locals. I like them even more now.
Or we could just gather some materials that you need.
If I could--
Turn back time
Wow.
Holy shit, wow.
That was not enough for you both to do that at the same time.
Wow!
Not nearly enough.
It's also the wrong campaign.
Jeez.
If I could find a way
Give us three minutes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll come back to you guys after the break. watching
To be perfectly honest, I'm certainly very curious about many facets of your cultures and your lived experiences. I'm cur-- Have you ever been to a place called--
Taste of Tal'Dorei?
A Taste of Tal'Dorei?
I knew it! I knew it! We actually have.
Quite a few times.
Wait!
It looks like a raucous time.
It is.
How many people dream about Taste of Tal'Dorei on a regular basis?
I mean, more than you'd think. It tends to be a recurring event. All manner of celebrations around. There's something about that that's just-- I don't know.
It's got a certain quirk to it.
Does anybody have their tankard left?
Oh, didn't we have a shirt?
I got you a-- Didn't you have a shirt?
We got a shirt.
I have a Whitestone is for Lovers T-shirt that was going to get rid of. I also have a Taste of Tal'Dorei little pencil.
That's right, we got a grab bag.
I can't remember what all I gave--
I have that toy sword.
because I gave one of my Taste of Tal'Dorei things away to get out of the Fey Realm.
Oh my god, that's right.
We need to make some friends here.
But here, I think I have a pencil.
I have a toy sword, so I'll stand next to Silas.
Which one do you want?
Give them both.
All right.
You know--
Oh wow!
You're giving away two bartering chips? We're on the fucking moon. That's two get out of jail free cards. People dream about this shit.
It's not free if you have to give it away. It's get out of jail for a price.
I still have the novelty cup from my Ashari Breezer.
Okay, good, good.
Technically correct.
This is--
The Taste of Tal'Dorei is a franchise so, you know, maybe after all of this hullabaloo is done--
We could open one?!
We could open one here on the moon!
A Taste of Tal'Dorei here.
That's actually a great idea.
You could be the manager and the assistant manager.
Oh my gosh, what if we had A Taste of Tal'Dorei here, and then back home, we could have the Taste of Kreviris? No, what's it called again?
We could have A Taste of the Razora Outpost.
Cerberus?
Taste of Ruidus.

Input: the technology that was being presented as part of our study group, that the tech had a unique understanding of the weave of godly magics, divine-type magics, and how to unravel them on a very base core point. Oh. Okay. So this was the basis of our project, a means to penetrate the secondary glass shell that contains Predathos within. So taking inspiration from the, what's it called? The Malleus Factorum-- Oh! -- and the other trickles of nearby tech and essentially develop it in a smaller scale that we'd be able to go through these additional layers of the-- The god adamantine stuff? Yeah. Oh. So, apparently the glass veins that run through the planet are the remnants of Predathos' last form when it was locked-- within its prison-- Oh, oh, oh, oh, wait. Can I pull out the-- We need to stop interrupting the story! I'm sorry. I just wanted to-- Okay, cool. Go, go. They're never going to stop there. So, yeah. That's the theory. Oh! I'm sorry! Jesus! Well, can I pull out the little globe-y thing that we got? The little globe-y. Oh, that's in the bag of holding. It's in the bag of holding. Okay, never mind. Look, oh, these look like-- Wait, how is this-- No, right. That right there. So, we've been unable to map deeply without the help of the Exaltants, and when they are able to connect with the aid of the Weave Mind to deeply bind with the essence of Predathos, they were able to feel out the extent of the vein network. We were uncertain of the source. Just we knew they were resonant with The One Who Sleeps, but from what we're gathering, that was likely a reflection of its form when it was sealed away, so the glass is what its body once was then turned to be its own prison. So whatever it is sleeping within is within its own glass prison and the layers between, and that's where the tech and the Exaltants, that's where all of this is supposed to come together is to break past these boundaries and then free it from its prison shell of what it once was. Yeah! Would you know about this whole vessel business? Is it basically going to possess one of the Exaltants so that it could walk across? That I don't know. Yeah, okay. They keep us all siloed. I only know what I can because I was having to keep ears open for the Volition and getting back what I could when I could. Could also be more than one. Yeah, that and maybe the vessel is not for Predathos. It's for Ludinus? Hm, I don't know. I mean, it might not just be one person that's a vessel. It might be multiple vessels. Multiple, yeah. Multiple vessels. His Horcrux or soul. Could be a sacrifice, could be a host, could be a, yeah. Yeah. Could be a ton of stuff. Dominox, the Malleus Factorum. Okay, okay. Ludinus wanting to be like an Exaltant Ruidusborn. That was interesting too. Ooh, look at your nails. They're so cute. Thanks! I mean, been playing so long, I can't remember which character knows what. I know! I know.

Output:

- Kaelen noted the difficulty in tracking which character possessed specific knowledge due to the long duration of their session.


Input: are moving up along-- and we were walking-- I want to be not close to the water. That's true. So just like, yeah, where that hump is next to that tree. Right here? That'd be great, yeah. Okay, there you are. My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump. Check it out! And thereabouts just where it's coming from. What? Uh, thank you. Moo! No. That's the sound I imagine it makes. No! So need everyone to roll initiative, please. Uh, um. Goodness. Wait, did he plant it? Do we see it? Right there. Oh sh-- Wow, a rare high number for Dorian's initiative. Oh, a rare low number for Silas. Fun. So 25 to 20? 20. All right. Jeez. Dorian up front. What? I don't like that at all. 20 to 15? 17. 16. 18. Wow, guys, those are great rolls! What did you say, Clara? What'd you get, Lyra? 16. I'm not up yet. Nadia, you said you were 17? Yes, sir. All right. Lyra. With advantage? 15 to 10. Oh, that's me. No, it's not. 11. What is it? 11. 11, all right. This one goes to 11. Nice. Sorry. I'm not alone. Ten to five. Seven. Eight. I'm ashamed of myself. Wow, Derek. You were low, too. Yeah. All right, that is all. After you hear the low haunting, like, uh, watching. This this weird almost dire horn of a bellowing yell from this creature. You see sand and red dirt being thrown up, the ground cracking beneath it as it just barrels forward. These two hooked, spiked horns at the front of it. Its glowing green eyes and the fume that's spilling out from between its armored pieces. Up top we have Dorian. What are you doing, buddy? So in that split second moment, Dorian sees Lyra' look of recognition and realizes what is happening over here and sees this thing coming through the underbrush. So rattling through his bag, molasses along his hand which he then spins in the air and I will cast Slow. Slow on that? Yeah. What is the save on that one? That is a 17. Seven-- no, what kind of-- Oh, wisdom. Wisdom. It's a failure, it's going to use a legendary resistance. Oh! A legendary resistance. Yes, it does. It's probably just got one of those. You attempt to reach out and weave this arcane net into its physicality to slow it down. It shrugs it off, no effect, and continues barreling forward. You still have movement and a bonus action. Yeah. He'll then just take a little shimmy to the side to stand behind this stone animal and yeah, that's right. And then maybe five feet diagonally that way as well, backing away. There? No. There? There, yeah. All right. Okay. You got it. All righty, Sarah, you're up. Oh, god, it is my turn! Yeah, you're up! You rolled high, buddy. Uh-huh. I'll go: Ah, ah, metal bull! And I'll run this direction. Actually, I'll fire off three Eldritch--

Input: don't have it. uh I've looked in all my pockets twice and in my shoes. You know, you did pretty great out there, though, without it. Yeah, you did. Yeah, that one shot, boom! It's gnarly. Oh my gosh, that was really impressive. I was aiming for the other one. That was Sylvia. I know. I missed. I hit the wrong one. I'm a mess right now. Yeah, you killed that mama spider basically with one hit. I did, I guess, I guess, in a way, I'm an orphan-maker, too. I think you are-- watching. I think you are more. I think you are because did you see how many orphans you made? And then we killed them all. Hundreds. Hundreds of them. Yeah. Hey, that nickname is up for grabs if you would like to take it. We can maybe share it? You can have it if you want. Well, you know, if we make a band with your rock harp, we could be the Orphan Makers. The Orphan Makers? Oh, that's good. Do you play an instrument? I don't. I don't, I don't play an instrument, but I don't know, maybe I could-- You could beat the jingle jangle buttons or something. Sure, yeah, yeah. Like, what's this thing? Like some type of percussion? Yeah. That belongs in a rock band. Shaker? So it's perfect. How about, if we get out of here, let's make a band called the Orphan Makers. Does anyone else play any instruments? I play piano really well. Oh, okay. This is a weird band. That's okay. It's going to be great. I can sight read perfectly. You've studied music theory? No. By read, I think he means he can read when he's looking. Killing babies, by the way, technically just makes you a baby killer. But you killed the mama. Yeah. That name doesn't sound as cool. I thought that was Kaelen. Aw. You study over the scroll. Old campaign, all right, old campaign. The runes immediately come out to you as abjuration-based. Specifically, this is a Protection from Energy scroll. Okay, okay. Mark that you have a Scroll of Protection of Energy. All right. Let's do the stuff. Who's ready to go into the hot yoga studio? This one's colder. What? That room is colder than this one. I think it's hotter. No, it's cold mist. It's better for you. The mist is cold or the mist is hot? The mist is cold. That's why it's evaporating. The temperature of the chamber, the hallway you're walking towards, where the mist is gathered in the far end, is noticeably a lower temperature. It is cooler. It's colder. We learned about these things. That's scarier. I like the cold. Let's do it. Let's do this. All right. What's the marching order, guys? I'll be at the front. Yeah, I'm not going in there. I'll be behind Sarah. I'll be behind Dorian. I'll be behind Clara. I'll be behind Tim. I'll be second-to-last. I'll be last.

Input: growls in place. That's going to end its turn. Damn. Yeah, so that will bring us to the next round. That's Kaelen, you're up. Okay. Uh, pick one and focus fire on that one! Okay, so reckless. Let me see something here. Sorry. Where's the hex? Divine Fury? Can I do that as well? All righty. Go for it. Are you raging? I don't have any more. Oh no! Yeah. You raged too much in the games of chance. Wait, do I have advantage, or that's it? You have advantage with your attacks, if you're reckless. Sorry. Natural 20 again. Watching. That will hit! Divine Fury is an extra-- d6. Ah! Should have had disadvantage. Disadvantage doesn't affect it. It's a cone. It's a cone? Yeah, okay. Sorry. All right. Ugh. Counting. Eight. See, technically it would be-- It was a natural 20? You only roll three of those dice. Well, is Divine Fury an extra d6. Yes, that's how it is. It's three, I'm sorry. Roll again, that's fine. It's 2d6 reroll. It's okay. Okay. Counting. Seven, ten, 27. 27 points of damage! You carve a hefty chunk out of this wolf as you slam down with your blade. As it carves past, you see where the white fur has now become red on its left side. It whimpers pulls back from the pain. Part of its flesh is flapping from the wound you left as you draw the blade back. That was a pretty hefty hit. That ends Kaelen's turn. Arthur, you're up. Okay, I'm going to aim for that flap of skin. Gwen, you're up next. Fire. 25 to hit. That definitely hits. That is 16 points of damage. 16 points of damage. Beautiful! I will run. Nope, I will fire again. Reloading. Same place. Go for it. 16 to hit. That hits! Roll damage. Six points. Six to that guy. As both bolts hit the open wound that Kaelen left behind, it's now starting to growl and look like it's in pain and is getting cornered-animal angry. I'm going to run this way, as far as my little-- well, so I can still see everybody and the action. All right, that ends Arthur's turn. Gwen, you're up. I'm going to cast Armor of Agathys on myself, and I'm going to use my bonus action to cast Hex on the wolf that's nearest to Kaelen and give it disadvantage on dexterity checks. I'm going to use my movement to run towards that wolf. This wolf here? Mm-hmm. You can get there. In between Molly and Kaelen. The one that you run away from does snap at you with its maw. I know you guys love that word. I know I do. That is going to be a nine. That does not hit, it's a three plus six. Its jaws snap behind you and you hear the impact, but it's too far below you. That ends Gwen's go. Derek, you're up. I pull out a cat's paw and say: Bad dog. Maximilian's Grasping Cat's Claw comes out by that one there. It has to make a strength saving throw. This one here? Ja, but it has to save. Strength saving throw. That is going to be a 12. What's your DC? 15.

Input: few moves before I can go and I can help her, but if he uses his legendary actions. um, I was also going to say: Can you more far enough to Greater Restoration? Bitch, I got a duplicate. She can move really fucking far. Fair. No, she can't. Okay, is it engaged with anyone? No. I don't know this shit. It's not engaged with anyone. I wouldn't get advantage, right? No, it is not. Can't see a ring. Fucking shit. This is tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky. thank you. What is-- this is a puzzle. I got to get over there, but I don't think I can make it in time to really help. But maybe it'll be dead before. Kill it, just try to kill it. It's got to be close. All right, let me shoot it. I'll just shoot it. It's really hurt. Got to be close. I'm so mad I didn't get that last hit. Okay, I'll just shoot it once. Add the d4. With a d4. That's 23 to hit. 23 hits. It's just a single thing. Come on, come on. Eight points of damage. Eight points of damage. Not enough. Do it again, do it again. Not enough. All right, I'll shoot again. I guess. Hit it. Kill it. Yeah, so that'll hit with 25. 25 hits, roll damage. Nine points of damage. Nine points of damage, all right. You guys are rolling continuously high tonight, to a point where it's spooky and frustrating for me. It's good to know. Yeah, I'm glad it's just a one side of the table thing. We feel totally calm. And I guess I will...shit. You're going to shit? Guess I will shit. Make a-- And it falls over dead. That's pretty good. If I just dropped Levitation, I'd fall 20 feet. You would, yes. And probably be prone? Unless you managed to catch yourself. But, like, could I drop it and also run my movement? It's possible. But if you are knocked prone, it's half your movement. Yeah, and I would take some damage. Yeah. That's 20 feet drop. Well, let's try it, I'm going to drop. Okay, roll an acrobatics check. With a d4. You're ridiculously high. Is it-- No, actually, no. Never mind, no d4. 14 plus-- Acrobatics. Oh yeah, 23. 23? Yeah, you're fine. You still take damage as you fall. You take nine points of bludgeoning damage as the body just cracks into you as you land. You must have landed on a rock under the sand. Right on the kneecap, you're like, "Ugh!" Yeah. And then I will use my movement to run around the bull-- It does extra damage because you're expecting sand, you know. 30, 35. 35 is your movement, yes? 35, yeah. All right. That's it. That's it.

Input: but some sort of utensil to eat food, maybe. At Taste of Tal'Dorei, you just eat the chicken wing with your hands. That's true. Straight off. Yeah. But it's so salty. They do that so you'll buy the drinks. So many of the drinks. I mean, they're so good though. That makes so much sense. In Silas's head, he hears Dorian say: Real quick, how did you get out of here last time? I saw the entrance, but how did you get back? There are tunnels that run from the bottom of town. You point over to the tunnels, and the tunnels are these massive lines of population slowly plodding through the numerous exits that are now currently plugged. Maybe it's a good thing we didn't go that way. So this hive is emptying out? It seems to be. That's great. Dorian's watching this and putting the pieces together and he goes: Something I just thought of. If we release Predathos, and I know they're all going back home because of the Blue Dream and the the promise of Ludinus, but what if they're leaving for a different reason? What happens to Ruidus if this happens? It's destroyed. Maybe. If Predathos is released, I think its shell breaks apart. Do we have an escape plan? Well, we have Teleport. We got Chet, as long as he doesn't die before we're done. At the end of a hard battle? I just wonder if maybe we have another way, a backup plan, just in case. I'm sorry. It's just I see fleeing and I think fleeing. I'm very in the moment. He has a staff with Teleport. Yeah. Julian has it. I have ways to get some people out, but not the entire group. Also, further argument, to keep Planerider Ryn on this planet could be good. to keep Planerider Ryn on this planet could be good. Yeah, but I also think there's a possibility this might be our last stop. I don't want to say that, but I need to go in knowing that. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure! But the goal is to get out. The goal is to get out, of course. I don't want to stay on this place. Have some faith. I mean, it's not so bad. Something to think about though, for sure. Just thinking. No, it is good to be logical about it. Yeah. Stay close to Chet. He'll have the ability. I'm not scared, to be clear. He's asleep. He fell asleep. Oh. He's out. Thus filling me with confidence. Creed, Daft Punk, Elvis, Wayne Newton. Oh! That's good. There we go. There you go. It's perfect. Terrifying. Is it just me? Does this place remind you a bit of Cognouza? Just the dissonance of it? A little bit. Yeah. Well, yeah. I think that's why they sent us to fight this Weave Mind. Vibes. That was the last time that I felt this kind of fear. It's just fascinating. Where exactly is this Weave Mind stationed? Y'all know? In the middle of that-- We don't exactly know. They kind of appeared to us. Yeah. Outside of the big vein. Dropped in on us.

Uh, I mean, you don't have a really good view from back here. Yeah, you have limited. But to that point, even if striking the Willmaster, it does not look like you get any immediate friendlies from the explosion. I-- In danger would be Dono, but the building itself stops there so it prevents the flames from reaching them. Dono's like, "I'm living!" Explosion. I mean hey, we want to make a display. I can heal. Slow motion? We want to make a display, right? That we're on their side. All right. I can heal people. All right. So wait, Hex gives-- mumbling spell description deal extra damage. Yes, and, folks. Here we go. Go ahead and roll damage. Well, here goes shit! With your tea, ma'am? Yeah, this isn't also-- I already had two. This might not be the caravan, right? Yeah. They're so good! Yeah. No. I'm also going to do this-- We might have reinforcements coming from the rear or something. Stop. Maybe. At 4th-level, by the way. 4th-level, so it's 9d6 points of fire damage. Go ahead and roll that. Oh boy. Wow. Yes! Yes! Yes, my baby! I'll do this three times and then there's an extra d6 on the Willmaster. Okay, so that is-- Okay wait, that was three. Okay, so that is seven. You're so brittle, there is a chance of spontaneous combustion. I said seven? Mm-hmm. That's 19. Eight, nine. You're up to 19. 19, I trust Sarah. So that's three, one more. That was your first mistake. Oh! Cocked. You said 19? Mm-hmm. 20, 21. 32. 32, I trust him. 32 fire damage with an extra three on the Willmaster. Okay. All right. What's the DC? The DC is 17 dex. Okay. So one of the Shrikes manages to take half damage as it darts out of the way. Other one gets full blast as well as the Willmaster taking the full brunt of it. The other figures, that's a fail. Look at those cute wuukors feeding over there. I know, I love them. Natural one. Yee. Natural one. Natural four. Oh my god. This is the lowest saving throw rolls. So the one with the natural one takes double damage? No, that's if I crit. No. Yeah. I've been playing this game for a long time. It's okay. They keep changing the rules, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Explosion booms. This massive burst of flame and the sound of an explosion booms echoes out through the middle of the night. Flames swirl in the space and as they reside or pull back, you can see many of the figures down almost to one knee, charred and flames licking off the sides of their arms and robes. You can see the four Vanguard figures are all going screams. Just screaming in pain-- and there's one back here who looks about 16 or so. Julian and

I know you ordered these in bulk, but you didn't have to use them all in the same night. Are any of them coming within the 15? Yes, they are, so those three have to make it now. Would I roll again or is it just the-- I'll let you roll again if you want to. Oh, that's worse, way worse. I should have kept it. Way worse, thank you. Seven. Seven points to him. Why would you be greedy? Because you're greedy. I didn't know if I needed to. I wasn't trying to be greedy. Yes, I was. Um, laughs. Seven points to him. Is that radiant? So that would be one attacking Nadia with advantage. That's going to put it at 17 to hit? Nope. Uh, misses. Another one attacking without advantage. 13, misses. Nope. One attacking you, Clara. Six, misses. Attacking you, Beauregard. Five, misses. Another attacking Sylvia. It's a 22 to hit. I rolled a natural 19. You take seven points of bludgeoning damage.

Sure. Yes! Sure. Hand spin like "Inception." We're still in the dream. And nothing happens. It drops into the bowl. You watch the little groove light up. Gasps. So that's one of three that we need. Yeah. Hopefully we're doing this right. Did the door move it or anything? No. You didn't notice anything. Okay. Well, then, in that case, we need to get some more hearts. That was your bonus action to do that, right? That was my bonus action. Action, if we need more hearts. Yes, we need more hearts! I'm going to aim at, at one, at one of the zombie things. One of the ones that been hurt. Yeah. They've all been hurt at this point. Has the one next Clara been hurt? They've all been hurt. They're all being assaulted by a bunch of radiant unicorns. Great.

When you come to consciousness, everyone looks around and you look around, taking stock of the friends around you. It's Kaelen, Nadia, Arthur, Elara, Beauregard, Cedric, Vilya. Good. You remember all that. Why are we here? There was something you're supposed to be doing here. There's ships around you, and you came to an island. But why? Why were you here? And you immediately recognize consciously, like, Oh no. Oh no. With your intelligence and self-awareness, you know exactly what happened. So, self-aware of the fact that-- Because of your high intelligence and the preparation you guys have done, you forgetting things, they're fuzzy, and you being you, can acknowledge that something's wrong. chuckling.

Nadia? 10. 10. 22. 30. 22. 30! Two. 30? 22. You said two, Elara? Yeah. All right, if I could have Elara and Nadia. Pick something of your inventory that just is gone. You forgot it. watching.

Input: creature was it? It was a sugar glider. Whatever that is. Aw, that is really cute. Oh man, yeah. I know. What was I supposed to do? There's no spotting that. As a note to you, this fortress isn't hidden, you know? It's an encampment that's built up to defend itself, and the position where it is is defensible, but-- uh, still infiltratable. It's defensible, but it's not-- yeah, thank you, watching-- cloaked or hidden. (sighs) All right. I mean, it would have been, a little rodent was able to get in, yeah. Yeah. And just run around. I mean-- Yeah. Like I said, he was flying over the city being like, "Calloway" when we were on the moon. Our impression of this-- Yeah, that's true. -- place where they've gathered, they're not broadcasting their presence here, right? Yes, people might know that this fortress or whatever it is is here, but they're not making a big to-do about being here, or are they? Not at the moment, but you do know that many soldiers currently are encamped here and more are on the way. It's like a FOB. Fighting off people. Some skyships do come as well as others that are magically transported. Mm-hmm. It is a slow building of forces both to play defense to these various fortresses around the Malleus Key and to mount an eventual offense once the information that you've gained can be consolidated with the various captains to decide on a plan. Okay. Okay. You definitely tried to murder him on Ruidus, so-- But he let you live. He did. Well, he spoke a lot of honeyed words. He wants to recruit her. It sounds like from the way he was talking that he could give a fuck about Ludinus or any of the others. Well, he never got along with Otohan. Mmm. He's making a play for himself. He wants to use Rowan. My mom says she's not with Ludinus. Your dad says he's not with Ludinus. Every man out for themselves. Well, you know-- (sighs deeply) -- I'm a deep believer in judging somebody by the company they keep, so. Exactly. It's also not a bad thing. The more fractured they are-- The weaker they are. Yeah. Good point. One more time, what's a Ludinus? (laughs) Oh, we got to fill you in. Oh, sweet fuck. Sorry, Dorian. We'll fill in Dorian as we head back towards the tent to try and get these two some sleep. We'll fill you in, Robbie, on the break. Yeah. Versus actual game. No, I know. I'm RPing, Gwen! (laughter) As the two who are worse for wear from the recent encounter finish off the rest of their evening's rest. The rest of you take the time in the early morning to fill Dorian in with some of the more complicated details of the Ruby Vanguard, Ludinus Da'leth, what has transpired and what is to come. As the sunrise and the early morning warmth begins to take the Hellcatch Valley, we're going to take a break. Oh! Yay. Ooh! Did he say "The Hollow Gate" or "Hollow Cage?" "Hollow Cage." "The Hallowed Cage." Hallowed. Hallowed? Hallowed Cage. Hallowed Cage.

Output:
- The players discussed a sugar glider and the defensive nature of a fortress encampment that was not cloaked or hidden.
- They analyzed the strategic situation, noting that soldiers were encamped and skyships were arriving to defend the Malleus Key.

- The session concluded with the DM describing the sunrise over Hellcatch Valley and the players correcting the name of the location from "Hollow Cage" to "The Hallowed Cage."


Input: over these moments that have happened, it's slowly withered to about half its strength. Oh no. That's really bad. As opposed to the bright torchlight, it seems to be a diminished 30-foot radius. Most of the chamber, it's nowhere near as bright as you thought it would be and it's not something you've encountered before. Outside of maybe elements of the depths of the Savalierwood. Thank you. Sure. As soon as I see Beauregard pull her back a bit, a small amount of flame appears in my hand and I flick it towards that little bit of stretch and try to burn the web. Just maybe six inches away from where Gideon is connected. Well, I'm invisible. Well, I'm seeing uh, stretching. Yes, which in order for you to, I'll say this, Beauregard. Yeah? Make a sleight of hand check for me, please. With disadvantage. With disadvantage. That doesn't get the Bless either. It's a 15. 20 total. Okay. You carefully maneuver and show Sylvia specifically where Gideon is without extremely disturbing the web. Yeah, and I'm looking for a little bit of weeping. I am also looking up. Right, perception check. Thank you. Pfft, 13. 13. Glancing up and looking around, what you do notice, watching. Thank you. in a number of these small gaps, the light now causes some more shadows to appear and the shadows even further help expose some of these little holes in the corners of the chamber and elements of where these sacs that are adhered up to the upper ceiling portion of the chamber lie, you see skittering out of one, about 20 or so different legs start creeping through. 20? Just little, up on the edge. 20? Yeah, that's two-and-a-half spiders. 20 or so? What if it's not spiders? 20 or so little legs? 20 or so little spiders. Or 20 big legs. Do I feel that they have seen, do I feel seen? On the other side? I cast Hydrogen Bomb. You feel, watching. You feel seen, you feel loved. Okay, cool. You do sense that the movement is one means of them assessing anyone entering this chamber. The other would probably be light, as they have eyes, and the now brightly-lit chamber has drawn the attention of something. I cast Terminix. I would like you all to roll initiative. No! Argh! I'll say, as the Fire Bolt's happening. Okay. So you. I was really hoping we'd just got out the phrase. What a waste! Sure, go for it. A waste. I really wouldn't, please. Now roll initiative. Yeah, I know. You get advantage, right, Ash? Yep. Or something. A d8 added to it. Oh, a d8 added to it. Do I get a, yeah, because you've got, yeah. Does Bless affect your initiative roll? No, this is something Sylvia gave to Dorian. Bless only lasts for a minute, so depending on how long all that took, it's probably fizzled by now. All righty. Yeah, Bless would have faded at this point from you guys taking the time and everything. That's the issue with doing Bless outside of combat. That's.

Output:
- The Game Master described the torchlight dimming to a 30-foot radius, making the chamber darker than expected.
- Derek attempted to burn a web near Gideon with a flame while Marcus remained invisible.
- Sarah successfully performed a sleight of hand check with a total of 20 to reveal Gideon's location.
- The party noticed 20 spider legs creeping from sacs on the ceiling, leading to confusion about the creature count.
- Sylvia cast Hydrogen Bomb and Terminix, while the Game Master noted the chamber's light had drawn the attention of the creatures.
- The Game Master instructed everyone to roll initiative, noting that the Bless spell had likely faded by that point.


Input:
game? Could I see that for a second?
My daughter's crossbow, you want?
Takes it, the crossbow, and pulls the string back, removes the tension, hands it back. There. Would either of you like to play some Eagle Shot?
Now I feel like we have to. He just human-splained me.
The other guard behind is currently setting up an older woman who is in the process of getting the arrow lined up, and it keeps falling out of her grip and the other guard's like, "No, put it here," and getting ready. Finally fires an arrow and it goes and disappears past one of the trees, oh, no.
Well, you know, I'll tell you something. If you want to have a laugh, let's have me do some physical sports, so that should be pretty good.
That'll be fun. All right, let's do it. We will both enter your competition.
Very well. That's one silver piece for three shots. Closest bullseye, if acquired, you get a rat from a cage. He pulls off from the side here; you see a small stack of wicker cages with rats inside them. Get yourself a pet rat. If you go ahead and get that middle bullseye, about part way across that range, there, you win yourself one of these finely crafted wooden swords.
They have this decently whittled wooden sword. The center cross hilt for it is strapped with twine tightly. Swings it a couple times and sets it down, lays it against and it rests and hits the ground off to the side.
Now the farthest one over there-- and you watch as the old woman pulls another shot and it almost hits the far target before it gets stuck in the tree about ten feet behind it. Hit that one way back there and that one will get you this.
He pulls up a haphazard, stitched doll with button eyes, like the stitches are too wide so it looks like the crosses behind it are visible. There's no mouth. There's like, matted twine hair, some felt-like material that's made a crown and a cape. Of our fine King Bertrand Dwendal.
Just a question for you. Should I hit the one in the back, which is highly likely, could we have the doll's weight in rats instead?
He gives you a look like you said a bad word. He goes, "I suppose."
How far is the farthest one?
He glances back. It's probably about 80 feet.
Let's try.
Arthur, I really want that wooden sword.
You don't have a sword, do you?
Creepy little doll, man!
Don't listen to Gwen.
Get the doll. I bet it's cursed!
I can't work with this kind of pressure!
Arthur. If you get that sword, I'll give you my jade bracelet.
Oh man!
Is this an attack roll?
It is an attack roll, and it's a short bow. He said about 80 feet, but the farthest one's about 100 feet. Which means it is in its second range increment, so the one in the back is at disadvantage.
I'm not proficient in this thing at all, right?
Well, let's go ahead and see. Rogue proficiencies. It's a simple ranged weapon. You should be. I'm pretty sure you are. Yep, simple weapons. You are proficient with the short bow.
Who's going first, if you don't mind me asking?
Let me show my daughter how it is done.

Output:
- The DM handed Aria's crossbow back to her and offered the group a chance to play Eagle Shot with the guards.
- Marcus, Aria, and the others agreed to enter the competition, learning that the prizes included rats, a wooden sword, or a cursed doll representing King Bertrand Dwendal.
- The group discussed the distances, with the DM clarifying that the farthest target was 100 feet away and placed the shot in the second range increment.
- The DM confirmed that the party was proficient with the short bow despite the disadvantage penalty for the long distance.
- Aria decided to take the first turn, intending to demonstrate her skill to her daughter.


Input: see you doing this, I'm going to be done with this shit. Oh, come on! Why?! Really? It's a one. Aw! Minimum tit. Minimum. Minimum tits. As she places her hands on your chest, even as she tried to warm them up, they're still pretty cold. Pecs! My pecs! My rock hard fucking pecs! Minimum tit lane. On your chest. Yep. You feel that that sigil begin to warm and warm and then burn hot, hot! Oh, that actually hurts a lot. Ah! And you pull away for a moment and you see it glowing brightly. And then it returns untouched. I'm sorry. Did you get it? No, it's still there. I guess Dispel Magic just doesn't work. That would be the conclusion that we would arrive to at this point, yes. Feel like this is what the tattoos were like without any of the payoff. One thing that I learned in my youth is that after a great deal of pain-- Whack! Feels really good right afterwards. There's an outline now. It's just the endorphins. Yeah. Should sign that. I could try to rub it out. Well, that didn't work with Kaelen, so... How many hands do you need for that? (wheezes) I don't even need my hands. (laughter) This is a serious show. Yeah, sorry. Why don't I have Dispel Magic? I didn't have the Dispel Magic up, but I hadn't finished selecting my spells, so I'm torn. What if that spell doesn't even work? (laughs) I mean, I feel like we would believe that it doesn't at this point with two of us trying it. Let's go find that pillar in Eiselcross again. Did you look like you sucked at it, though, is the question. Did I look like I sucked at it, or if I was really focusing? Is this a dispel thing or a restoration thing? It's fine. If it's so he can see me, he's already going to be looking at us anyway through scrying. Maybe it just lets him know-- Exactly where we are. Yeah, or something. Well, do you have Greater Restoration? Because, you know, we could try that. It does help with curses! Maybe it's like your curse. We're not wasting a Greater Restoration on this! On you? You're one of our teammates! Of course we're going to-- Well, I mean we're far away. That was very kind of you, Gideon. Oh god. (giggling) So involved. (laughter) We should go. We have things we have to do. Yes, we have to buy things. Yeah, I don't think it would help with this. Okay. We got distracted by his rock hard pecs. Thank you, Julian! Pecs! It was ironic. His chest was a lot. I suppose. Sure was. So we're going shopping. We're going to find my old school chums. Then we are going to travel to see your folks. Feels important. Shopping for what? I'll talk to you later. Just out of curiosity, I'm down to go. Could you give us any hint as to what you saw? Like, are we going to fight beasts or plants or... I didn't see anything to fight. I just saw that perhaps-- Saw that perhaps the corruption is

Output:
- The party attempted to use Dispel Magic on Julian's chest sigil but it failed to remove the glowing mark.
- Lyra tried to rub out the tattoo but it didn't work, and the group discussed whether they needed Dispel or Restoration magic.
- Cedric offered to use Greater Restoration but the party decided it would be too wasteful to use on the curse.
- The group decided to go shopping and travel to visit Gideon's family, getting distracted by Julian's "rock hard pecs" along the way.
- Gideon mentioned seeing corruption during a vision but didn't see anything to fight, leaving the nature of the threat unclear.


Input: squirrel one away for ourselves? It would be nice to keep one on the side. Before they fight and destroy them all. But it's not like we couldn't get off of the island, right, Vilya? I mean, there are ways to leave the island, yes. Yeah, I mean, you have trees that you know of, right? Yes. On the island. But you have trees that you remember from before the island. I know many trees across Exandria from my travels. Yeah! So we could hop into any tree! Oh, you can go to any tree you've ever known? That I've visited, yes. Well, fuck! That's way different. But you also mentioned that you're able to teleport as well, correct? Ja, although I can only bring through so many people. It does not last very long. I'm not sure what-- I mean, there's all the people in Vo. Do you have a limited amount of people that you can bring through a tree? It's a very short time that it exists. How short? Six seconds. Ooh. But that's how long Derek's spell lasts, and we've managed. I'm probably more limited. There's only a small handful of places where I could bring people. True. Though I would say, just as a point of reference, for a lot of these people who live here in the village, if we were to free them of Vokodo's influence, there's a good chance that many of these ships are their livelihood. So even if we were to take them away from the island-- and I can't say this, because I don't know what their histories are-- that's a lot of money that we're destroying that these people may have worked for in their life, and it might be all that remains with them. Yes, but there's life and then there are things. That's true. If they've been gone for that long, they're presumed dead. Life doesn't need things to live. It can be perfectly content without it. I couldn't finish it. I mean, do you think there's a chance that anybody that, you know, has been here this long, they may just want to stay? I don't know. It's possible. People have babies here! There's probably some who have only known their life on this island. We have children who were born here. Oh. Even still. It's complicated. Releasing them from Vokodo would at least give them their own free will to decide what to do. Exactly. Plus, they don't know that those ships are okay. For all they know, Vokodo destroyed them. The choice is yours. I'm following your lead. Sure, sure. There are plenty of trees. I mean, how hard is it to chop down a tree and make a ship? Pretty hard. I genuinely have no idea. Besides, you know, we don't even know if this is going to work. Yeah, your Sending relationship with Mr. Turtle Man was iffy, if I recall, right? No, he really liked me a lot. Oh! Yeah, yeah. We had really good conversations. Oh. How many times have you communicated? Pretty much, like,-- I just talked to him, like, 10 minutes ago, and he was like, Oh hey Nadia, what's going on? What is his name? Dragon turtle.

Output: - The group discussed various methods to escape the island, including using magical trees and teleportation spells cast by Derek and Sylvia. They debated the ethical implications of freeing the villagers from Vokodo's influence, noting that many relied on ships for their livelihood. The Game Master clarified that the teleportation spell lasts only six seconds and that some villagers were born on the island and might not wish to leave. The party acknowledged that the villagers might be unaware of the true state of the ships, believing Vokodo destroyed them. They decided to respect the villagers' free will and let them choose their own fate. Finally, Borlan confirmed he had recently communicated successfully with the Dragon turtle, reassuring the group about their connection.


Input: to make a living. Just thinking of, I don't know. uh - So what are the things you look for, when you go to a restaurant? Like what's like the number one thing of like everything? Or like the first thing you look at. - It depends what I'm going for. If I'm just going for like Thai or Vietnamese food, I'm not going to look at how dirty it is. - How do you weigh each aspect? So let's say there's five stars, does like the food get three of the stars, the service gets one and then there's the. - Or is it just kind of a package thing? - It's just different. It's a package. It's like how do I feel when I leave? Yeah, sometimes I'll think I already know. - If the food was amazing but the waiter was rude, how is that like? - No, I'll write that. I would be like, "Oh my God, the food was so delicious but it's just unfortunate, that the service was bad." - One thing I was speaking to Chris about this, and we were talking about, he was like, "Oh, I don't wanna say anything bad about some stuff 'cause I don't wanna like potentially risk them losing business or going out of business." - Yeah, yeah. - And I said to Chris, I was like, "If a place is so bad that you give it one stars, I genuinely don't deserve they get to run a restaurant. - Right. - I give it to the point where it could be like food safety. - Yeah, yeah. - Or it's just so bad in every single way, I don't care if someone loses their job. 'Cause they shouldn't be in that job. - You can just watch kitchen nightmares. Right? - You watch that and you're like, you don't deserve to have this job. - They disrespect the food and they disrespect the customer. - You don't deserve. - Honestly like sometimes I go to a restaurant and I'm just like there's nothing more disappointing than going to a restaurant and just having like a bad meal. - It's so sad to me. - My day is literally ruined. Nothing is worse than a bad meal. - Yeah, Japan changed that for Meilyne 'cause in the UK, it is like a 50/50 coin. - It is. It is. - Whether or not the restaurant is gonna be just good. - Yeah. - Yeah. Most things are good, but they're not amazing. - It's about the little things in life to look forward to. And I look forward to just a good meal at least once a day. If I have like an amazing lunch and dinner could be like- - Yeah. - I just want one good meal whether it be home cooked, or restaurant or wherever, it doesn't need to be expensive. It can be expensive, cheap, I just want a good meal. And if I'm wasting my daily meal on a bad, like on a bad restaurant experience, then my day is literally like. - It's scam. - Yeah. I'm just like, "You took this from me. You took the only little joy." - You took my time, my money. - You took the little joy I look for every day and you gave me an awful meal and I'm just like, "Yeah, that's just bad." And sometimes I literally don't understand sometimes, how some restaurants can serve bad meals. - It's sad to me that someone went through the trouble of opening up a thank you

Output:
- The speakers discussed the criteria they use when evaluating restaurants, specifically debating whether food quality, service, and hygiene should be weighed separately or as a combined package.
- One speaker argued that they would not write negative reviews for establishments if they feared it might risk the business, while the other insisted that places serving unsafe or terrible food do not deserve to operate.
- They referenced the show "Kitchen Nightmares" to emphasize that disrespecting food and customers means a worker does not deserve their job.
- The conversation shifted to the emotional impact of bad meals, with one speaker stating that a terrible dining experience literally ruins their day and feels like a scam.
- They noted a cultural difference regarding restaurant quality in the UK versus Japan, concluding that people generally need at least one good meal a day to find joy.
- The dialogue ended with frustration over how some restaurants can serve bad meals despite the effort required to open them.


Input: my head, it's not in the same category as getting an infection from just, I don't know where the fuck I got it from. Because it's, somebody fucked up. With the Flamin' Hot Cheetos, I fucked up. I massively fucked up. Thank you. Yeah. All right. Here's the thing. You go to a convention. You go to a convention, you party everyday at the convention, you get con flu. Everyone gets fucking con flu. A lot of people get fucking con flu. Watching. Of course. Does that count as the same thing? Because you're going to a place where you know that you're probably going to get infected with something along the way because there's a lot of people in a single area and you're putting yourself in a position where your immune system is going to be weaker because you're naturally doing a lot of shit. Does that count as the same thing? Is con flu an illness? Which category? The food poisoning or-? Does con flu count as any one? Getting sick, normal sick. Getting normal sick? Yeah, normal. That's not food poisoning. I feel like food poisoning is in its own complete category. Closer to self poisoning to me. Uh, in my head. I don't know how, Do you understand why I think that way, or is it you just don't get it at all? I understand why you think that way. I understand, I just don't agree with it. Because it's not like I'm going to the con, and I'm going around licking floors, and I'm licking, Do you know what I mean? I am just, I know that you're at a higher risk because you're around a lot of people. People who aren't showering, people who aren't- Sometimes you shake a hand and you're just like, "Ooh. I better sanitize it afterwards, man." Sometimes you know, man. Sometimes you know. My hand is getting sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the kids were taking photos, you're getting close to people, people want you, people touch you. Yeah. I understand that that's just a big risk. Sometimes I get con flu, sometimes I don't. Again, that's me almost squishing six months of interacting into one weekend. So to me it makes sense that there is a very high chance that you can get a sickness. But again, it's not the same with food poisoning. Because, again, somebody had to fuck up. Watching. I wonder if I'm the only, I can't be the only person who sees it this way. There must be a lot of people in the comments who are- I mean, you're the first, in my head. Really? You're the first person. But how many people have you discussed this with? This is not a normal thing to discus. Well, yeah. It's not a normal thing to discus because I think for most people food poisoning is an illness. There's no question about it. If you asked me, "Connor, what's up? Why can't you come in to record today?" I'm not going to be like, "I've been poisoned." I'd be like, "No. I got sick. I got sick." But in my head, I would have this category, that I would label it. It just happens that now we have to talk about it, and I'm explaining it, and I didn't realize that people didn't see it this way. So the next time you get food

Output:
*   The speaker argued that food poisoning belongs in a distinct category separate from general illness or "con flu," labeling it closer to self-poisoning.
*   Participants discussed the risks of attending conventions, acknowledging that high exposure to crowds increases the likelihood of getting sick.
*   The speaker clarified that while they understand others get sick from crowds, they do not consider food poisoning the same type of event.
*   The speaker mentioned that Connor (or the speaker referring to themselves) would typically claim they "got sick" rather than admitting to being poisoned in a professional context.
*   It was revealed that the speaker had not previously discussed this specific categorization of food poisoning with many people, as it is not a normal topic of conversation.
*   The group acknowledged the high risk of infection at conventions due to close interactions with people, such as taking photos and shaking hands.


Input: token British guy. I went online to people, they were just like, "Oh, it's a Brit." - I've never met any British people in the games. - Really? - None. - Maybe they played on different servers. - Maybe they did. - May be. - Yeah, like how much growing up did you know about the rest of the world? Cause like the stereotype is that Americans, know nothing about the rest of the world. That's like the stereotype. I'm not saying it's true, but like. - I didn't know about Europeans or Australians, or South Americans so much. - You were familiar the Japanese right? - Yeah. Yeah. - Oh yeah, that's true. - I got to travel to a lot of parts of Asia, so I know about Asia. - I don't know much about Asia. I know the names of the countries and some of the history. - And now you're in Japan. thank you - Yeah. Yeah. - There you go. - And now you're learning, you're educating yourself. watching - About the culture. - I knew about the history. (all laughing) - You knew the history, we colonized this place. (all laughing) - When you're in another country, you're like, that's one that we used to have, right? (all laughing) - You just look at the list it's like, "Is that part of my country?" - It's really like we would name it like? - Yeah. (Connor laughing) (all laughing) - They appreciate the English. - Often you'd hear about countries. And it was always like, it was like 50, 50. I'm like, "Did we?" I don't know. - We got close. (laughs) - Yeah, maybe we just stop right there. English history's just really cool when you learn about it. Which is never taught in school in the UK cause they were like, "That's that far away place that you'll never go." Because Europe and Butlins is an hour away. - But at least you guys got to learn about like European history. Right? - Oh, well fuck that though. European history is such a fucking mess. - Is it? - Yes. - Dude, better than Australian history. We only have 250 years and most of it is racism. - Yeah but at least you can say like, (all laughing) - European history isn't any better. (all laughing) - I don't think Europeans are any better in terms of that. - It's literally white man come to person's land, take land away, here we are today. - And then dump the prisoners on them. - Bunch of politics, blah, blah, blah. And here we are. - Europe spent like fucking 900 years arguing about who was the best white person. - Yeah, but least you guys had like wars and like colonies and all that kind of stuff. - Yeah, like cool shit. - You guys had like the Romans and like the Byzantines and like all those. Like that shit's cool. - Yeah, that's cool. - They make movies out of those. - Yeah. (Meilyne laughing) - There's one movie about Australia and it's called "Australia." - Isn't it cool though- - is it? I've never seen them. - Nicole Kidman. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. - That's cool though you can learn all of your history within like a reasonable amount of time. - Yeah, but as a 14 year old learning about like politics and shit. I'm just like, "I don't care." - I don't know most of European history. I don't know history was like that one class that

Output:
- The group discussed their limited knowledge of world cultures, noting that while they knew about Japan and Asia, they were unfamiliar with Europe, Australia, and South America.
- They debated the stereotypes regarding Americans' lack of global awareness and the specific historical experiences of the UK, Australia, and the US.
- The conversation shifted to the complexity and messiness of European history compared to the shorter, racism-focused history of Australia.
- Participants noted that European history involves wars, colonies, and ancient empires like the Romans and Byzantines, which are often featured in movies.
- They specifically mentioned the movie "Australia" starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman as a way to learn history, though one person felt politics were uninteresting at age 14.
- The discussion highlighted how European history is rarely taught in UK schools due to the proximity of Europe, contrasting it with the perceived distance of other nations.


Input: as good, but pretty good. Pretty good, still. I mean-- Jeez. Ew. 30 points of damage. That's just gross. It leaps up and Sarah catches it in the air and you watching, all of a sudden, (whooshes) this bolt emerges from its head. It splatters on you. It's hot. It's not scalding, but it goes and it's like, ho, that's uncomfortably hot. Why is it so warm? I'm going to say, we came to crash your website! Is what I meant to say the last time. I don't get it. No. Just think about it for a while. All of 12 seconds to think of that, huh? This is why Gideon can't be president. You look and see the giant mom spider curled around the corner and it's facing off against Sarah. What are you doing? I mean, I saw the transformation, so I'm not too worried about that. High perception. With your perception, you did notice. Yeah, I saw that. I saw that go down. There's a reason I put Bless on the spider. Yeah. Hey, Sylvia, I think you might be able to-- I think you can check out some of these nooks and crannies-- Oh, don't do that! See if everything's copacetic. No! Don't go down into the snake hole! Just a little, a little peak. Don't go too deep in there or anything. Technically, he can understand everything I'm saying. That's true. Technically, he can. Sarah, your turn. Nadia starts talking to the spider as Sylvia. Did I see Sylvia turn into the spider? I'd say you weren't paying attention at the moment, but it's not currently looking aggressive and Nadia is talking towards it and it seems to react. You figure it out, You're not a complete imbecile. All right. You're pretty clever. Can I recommend that we get the fuck out of this room? Yeah. I'll start walking. So all enemies are gone-- Don't start walking. We need to burn our way through. Light a torch or something. The Sylvia spider starts to-- the Sylvia Widow-- The Widogast? The Widogast, yeah. Widogast Widow crawls over and starts pulling away a web, looking through where all that rubble is that Borlan asked about earlier. Okay, so the rubble here? Yeah, at the web, I'm pulling away. Okay, so you're pulling it away. There is all manner of broken stone, compact earth. This is a cave in. This is a section where a part of it just fell in. What about the sacs? Yeah, the sacs. We'll get to that. Down here, you don't see any bodies. All you find are clusters of webbing and that weird, dried mud-like thing that's built in sections. Okay. Like piles of it and bits of it are cracked. Okay, then the next thing is to crawl up to the ceiling and move to the closest one of these places that you described as having the bundles that we can't see past. Be careful, they might be egg sacs or something. Oh, please, don't do that. Don't. No, look, I saw that happen one summer. It's fucking terrible. There was one time-- Don't pop egg sacs. There was one time there

Input: they went to the gift shop, and-- Okay. While everyone is rabble rousing, I'm going to try to catch Arthur's eye across the table. Mm-hmm. And just sort of covertly go. Yeah? Did I hear that in here? Yeah. You okay? Eh. I mean. You seem a little discouraged. Well, there's, you know, Marcus. Oh, no, I'm good, thanks. Can I be honest? This is so dumb. Elara and I had sort of a bit of a falling out. Uh, a couple days ago? Because that's how long you've seemed a little withdrawn, which is okay, I mean, I know you're private, but. Yeah. I can tell. You know, she-- She just sort of did-- She did something that broke my trust. You know, it's weird, because the longer it goes after, it feels like almost it was a good thing that she did, but I can't tell her that yet, because I don't know. Then as soon as we get here, you know, Dusk shows up, and all of a sudden, like, I'm hurting, and Elara's just living it up with this new person, smiling and laughing like she doesn't even care that we had a fight! So-- Sorry, that was loud in your head, and I apologize. It's cool. It's cool. And now I'm bald, but that's fine! I like it, and stuff. So yeah, I guess I'm a little distraught, Marcus. On that, I mean, we figured out the blue thing. I'm sure we'll figure out the head thing. You have really fabulous cheekbones, so you're selling it, but I'm sure we'll fix it. Yeah, I mean, fuzz is, it's already. Well, there was no fuzz, and yeah, I'm, we're not talking, but I'm still touching my head and looking at Marcus. Marcus's just nodding across the table. There was no fuzz right away, and there's already fuzz, so I think that's a good sign, because hair doesn't normally grow back that fast. Putting up a blast shield. Back to the point. Yeah. I could definitely be wrong. I haven't known you that long, but I watch you and Elara together, and you guys are so close. I feel like, you know, you get, I see you get down on yourself, and I think maybe it's just coloring your thinking a little bit. I mean, when you have a falling out with a friend, I don't know. I think breathe through it. She-- That dead lady's got a lot of love in her heart. I know. She's got a really good heart. Also, I don't know if I can listen to this guy's acting much longer. Also-- -- you saved that elf's life, and I see you kicking yourself, but you saved their life. Also, you just did an amazing thing for Gideon. That was a good thing you did. She seemed really happy. Let that sink in. Yeah. Thank you. Brought a smile to my face. I hope everything's all right with them. I hope that it's a happy reunion. You know, work through it, but you know, when you're ready, talk to her. I know. I know. I'm a little embarrassed, but yeah. She won't care. I don't think. Also, I'm the new guy, but my door's always open. Also, I'm the new guy, but my door's always open. Thank you. Mm-hmm.
