Input:
You know what? I didn't realize that was the one that you were talking about, so.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I just... I think we should melt it down or something. I don't like it. Because it was associated with--
Yeah, I feel like--
Sarah's death?
Yes. Yes, I feel like that was--
But it was also associated with Lyra's life and--
I know.
Two sides to that coin.
Well, you can-- I was just playing with you. I was eventually going to give it back to you. I just...
When you take something from someone else, just curious, does it make you feel good? Does your heart beat faster? Is it like--?
I don't know if I feel anything. I think I just--
Are you trying to feel something?
No, I just like--
Like chasing dragons?
-- certain things.
-- or something, or?
I just like little shinies. You know, I carry them with me.
But it doesn't make your heart beat faster, it doesn't make your pulse race?
Maybe a little bit. Because sometimes, something could go wrong. Watching.
I guess I do like it.
Okay. That's the danger of something going wrong, though, that makes you--
Yeah, of course.
It edges you.
Yeah, because you just don't know. You know?
I think that's very common and normal.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Do you?
I think that feeling is common and normal, yeah, but maybe chasing it all the time is not quite as common, but no judgment.
No, no.
Just maybe, of you being aware of it.
Yeah.
Maybe that's good for you to be aware of it, why you do things and how often you do them.
Okay. I mean, I'll think on it for sure.
Okay.
Because maybe there's something deeper, I don't know.
It sounds like there might be.
Well, I'll think on it.
We'll talk about it some other time. We can have a session where we just sit and talk about it. You can talk about whatever you want. I'll just listen.
We never--
Okay.
I know.
I'm down for that.
All right, great.
Okay. Sorry I didn't give it to you right away.
No, it's fine. I don't care.
I just wanted you to waste a spell.
Sure. I'll mark it off.
So much is being learned, and I have no idea by whom.
Hey, Mogen?
What?
"Mogen"?
I don't want to give it away, your real.
Okay.
Mogen!
That's the most--
Terrible.
-- interesting--
Mogen.
Cool nickname.
-- nickname I've ever been given.
Well, look. Some of us are just gifted in spontaneous creativity. I was thinking, you know how you get in people's heads?
Mm-hmm.
Right. Did you and Thull communicate mind to mind?
Yeah.
And has she popped in your head since?
No.
Are you at all curious about sending her a--?
Oh, I thought about it, but then, what if my thoughts are what attract her to that space and she just comes and kills all of us?
Is that how that works?
I mean, I don't know what her abilities are. She could bamf anywhere she wants.
Oh, she

Input: you pick it up. Look at it. It's smooth, like the dirt doesn't seem to cling to it, like almost as you breathe on it, you can see some of the dirt drifts off. It almost repels the dirt as part of its celestial nature. Ooh. Oh. Rowan? Yeah, yeah? Do you think it would be disrespectful to put a head of an ancient being into a haversack? *laughs* If you're asking... I'm-- You've talked to them before. You've talked to things that were dead. Sure. Do you think it would be mad if we brought him in here and then later on we talked to him? I don't think they'd really know. Unless you can talk to him now. Uh, now might not be the best time. I think we can save that for later. Yeah, let's take it with us and maybe-- All right, I'll put the head in the-- Do you feel like it's okay if we take it? What if this is like a tomb or something? That's a really good point. I think that this is a tomb. I just don't think it's theirs. Sarah has spent this entire conversation looking at Marcus and looking at them talking and looking at Marcus leaving, and looking at them still talking and looking at Marcus, and now I'm going to creep slightly under with my cloak-- You were invisible, weren't you, Marcus? I was at some point. Was I still invisible? I think we said that you'd dropped it by now, but I don't really remember. I think you may have dropped it, yeah. Why did I drop it? I don't know. Invisibility? I don't think you dropped it. I don't think I did. You rifled through Clara's pockets. I don't remember. You rifled through Clara's pockets trying to find your flask. Argued with people. Ask the chat. They'll know. *laughs* We'll find out in 15 seconds from the chat, I guess. *laughter* All right. Regardless, Marcus has gone in before the rest of you. Okay, I'll put the thing in the bag and then we'll just go, too. Okay. Still invisible. That's what I thought. Thank you, chat. I wasn't crazy. I wasn't crazy. Goggles on. All right. Marching order going in, aside from Marcus, who is ahead. Oh, boy. I think for once, I am already in, so I'm going to say behind Marcus. Okay. I'll be behind Clara. Not knowing where the hell she is. I'll be behind you. Okay. So we have Clara and Borlan. There's enough space for a number of you to fit underneath at once. It's a wide door, so you could all scoot in at the same time. Does anyone have a big old butt that stops them from squeezing through? Like it's a foot and a half. None of you are Arthur-sized, but-- Big booty, big booty. Tall. It requires you to crawl to get through. Some of you get lower and it's very much like having to pull yourself down and the door you expected to be a thin doorway. It's pretty far in. Oh, wow. You have to crawl for about three to four feet, pushing through and you're not sure if it's solid or if it's hollow. Whatever the

Input: fighting against the Shogunate. And all mysteries will unfold in the final chapter of Inazima Archon Quest, omnipresence over mortals. We have the brand new character Raiden Shogun available to pull between 1st of September to the 21st of September, the Undisputed Supreme ruler of Inazima. Her Excellency, the almighty Narukami Ogosho, promised the people of Inazuma an unchanging eternity to last throughout the ages. But if you have a bad history of pulling 5 stars then don't worry, there's also a brand new four star available for you as well. The four star electro character Kujou Sara is here, leader of the tengu commission's force, bold, decisive, and skilled in battle. As the adopted daughter of the Kujo clan, she conducts herself with an official demeanor at all times. And there's another beautiful five-star, awaiting for your hands to get ahold of. I'm of course, talking about Sangonomiya Kokomi, the new five-star hydro character. The divine priestess is Supreme leader of the Watatsumi Island. But if characters aren't your thing then don't worry. There's lots more juicy information for you all. Because two of the new Inazuma Islands will open to play as the Watatsumi Island and the Seirai island. Watatsumi island is very different from other islands in Inazuma. The Sangonomiya shrine is located at the center of this island surrounded by a canopy of mountains and waterfalls. Meanwhile, Seirai Island is where some disasters seem to have occurred and is surrounded by perpetual thunderstorms. Plus there are a number of exclusive events available as well. Like the Moon Chase Festival from the 17th of September to the 12th of October. And of course the first anniversary celebration starting off with the passage of clouds event, which is a login bonus event that let's players accumulate daily log-ins from the 20th of September, to claim up to 10 intertwine fate along with various other rewards. So even if you're a new player or an experienced player, "Genshin Impact" has a lot to offer to you guys. So make sure to go down, to the link in the description below, to check out the game for yourself. And thank you to "Genshin Impact" for sponsoring this episode. Back to the show. - Here's a buffet for peasants mainly. - Depends where you go. - Dessert swap strat. - Where can we get a good buffet? - Las Vegas has a lot of good buffets. - I've heard this actually. - You'll pay like 100 almost $300. - But isn't it mainly buffets in Las Vegas? - It's all buffets. - Really? - Yeah. 'Cause you know Hulki's from Vegas, right? So like literally every third day is a buffet. And after a while I'm just like, "Bruh, can we have like something else. Just like a single meal." - Yeah. I get it though 'cause you're just gonna sit there and gamble all night. So it doesn't matter if you like just stuff yourself. - Yeah. Well, if you do feel like walking around on the strip all day. - Yeah. - And you have enough room, then yeah of course a Buffet's fantastic. But if I'm like fucking lazily sitting around in the house, and then sometimes Hulki's mom's like, "Let's go to a buffet." I'm like, "No, please no. I can't." - But they have no time limit, you could be there all day kind of. - Actually some of them look amazing as well. I think I saw some YouTube videos of them and it's like Michelin star chefs or something. - Yeah. -

Input: also dream? Oh my gosh! Do you dream? Oh yeah. Do you-- Do cytaa dream as well? We all dream here. What, you think you're special? (laughter) Well, we're here to answer-- Sometimes. -- your questions. How can we put your mind at ease? (sighs) What are your plans when you get to the capital city? (laughter) See a show, see the sights. We're just planning-- Right now we're just-- -- one short day there. Right now, we're just scouting. Obviously, people that we are working with and trying to protect might want to do more than just scout on another visit, but right now we just want to know the layout. Where things are, who runs it, if there's any easy way in or out. There's some really terrible people right now on Exandria that are trying to do some stuff with your Dreamkeeper, and we're trying to keep that from happening. You promise you're not here to hurt Barthie? Hm? No. No, definitely. No. Of course not. We promise that. Unless he tries to hurt us. Okay? Okay? So. I mean this with no offense. If we wanted to hurt Barthie, we would have done it by now. Okay. Do you like your pastry? It's good, right? Do you like it? It's really good. (laughter) The beings that are causing problems for you all here, they're doing the same thing up on the blue ball, and we just know so little about them. We're really just trying to understand. Things are real tough here. They have been for a long time. Aren't they supposed to be better on the other side? They're supposed to be, I guess. They're supposed to be. The grass is always redder. Well, just positing, if you don't mind me, Elder, speaking out of turn here. Jeez. (laughs) What if maybe this is a good thing for us? What if after all this time, this is the opportunity for us to become the Dreamers we were always meant to be? That's what I was saying! Yeah, I like this. If we could find a way for y'all, whoever wants to, to come across that bridge, I'd be all for it. More than all for it. You see the elder's about to speak up before Chu goes, Uh-uh. Not done with my point. Given all the dreams we've had-- (laughter) -- you think these Exandrian folks are going to be just eager to welcome us with open arms? Well, technically, this whole place was from Exandria. Mm-hmm. So in a way, we're all, not me, but they're all kin of yours. Where's your proof? That's a-- Who's to say Exandria didn't come from us, huh? Oh. Well, that's true. Our legends could be false. 100%. If you're asking if there are pieces of shit and you're asking if there are pieces of shit who control some shit down there, yes, absolutely, of course. It will be hard. People will be shitty, but we have plenty of good people. Plenty of people who would love to fucking meet you and-- To fuck and meet you. Well, both. We're special that way. I'm sorry.

Input: All right, so they strap you in to the Quintessence Array. Minor panic attack. This did not uh, this did not go well last time. All right. Strap you in tightly into the Quintessence Array. I whack him in the nuts as his arms are up. I already, ready to block. Uh, both of you make-- It doesn't work. Ow! Okay, then you're good. Well played. Rock on. All right, man, let's go ahead. Fuck. As Dusk Hunger is placed to the exterior of the Quintessence Array's funnel, it drifts and slowly rotates in the air as you watch its magical energy begin to glow, the runes along its dark and slightly curved blade begin to alight and the metal begins to crumble into shadow. Within a matter of 20 or 30 seconds pass that you watch as the blade seems to suck fold into itself and then become absorbed into the back of Rowan's neck. You feel it's cold at first and then the flame begins to burn inside you. Eventually, you feel it fully dig itself, root itself within your physical being and then the enchantment is complete. So you gain-- Way better than last time. A permanent plus two to your dexterity. Oh my god! Whoa! Oh, that would have been good. Oh shit, so-- Damn! Total score of plus two. Okay. Hey, Julian? Yeah? Why don't we have one of those? Well-- Make a absorbing funnel! So dex went up by-- A very terrible man created that thing. By one. By one level. Correct. Then-- Wow. I will forgive you. Just do it. Oh, you will? You will forgive me? Mm-hmm. Once per short rest, you can add 3d6 fire damage to a melee attack you make. Straight melee? Just a straight melee attack. Yeah. Okay. Cool. So 3d6 fire to one. I'm going to write that down. 3d6 fire. Per short rest. Per short rest to one melee attack. Wow. That's nuts. Yeah. I had the chance to make it with a minotaur and I didn't. Well, I'm sorry for you, but glad that you are-- This could be my only chance! Wrong character. And I blew it because of love. Things at home okay? Things at home are great! It's fine. Sex has never been better. But you know, that's the brass ring! I'm sure there's a brass ring in there somewhere, yeah. Did I make the right choice? Of course you made the right choice. You had to make a difficult choice once to go back and do it all again or not. You don't regret it, do you? If you're talking strictly romance, my relationship is a little bit different than yours. Things are slightly more fluid, but I don't know. Every person's deal is a little bit different, and you have seemed very happy for a long time. I am very happy, but this one regret will haunt me forever. You don't know what that's like. You are terrifying, you know that? Just tuck the teeth in. With his fucking-- There it goes.

Input:
music) (epic music) (mischievous music) (typewriter clacking) (peaceful music) We now go live to a special address from the President.
Hey, dweebs. Now as your president, I've been kind of killing it lately. I gave global warming an atomic wedgie. I balanced the budget by selling my Pog collection, and I saved the Queen of England from that octopus! But my kick-assery is far from done. According to this chart that I made, an estimated 35% of you are still a bunch of nasty goobers, but don't worry, I have a plan. Operation: Gag Me With A Spoon. It's easy sleazy. According to this study that I wrote, if every citizen subscribed to Critical Role on Twitch, we could reduce maximum goobage by a metric buttload. Twitch is the only place where you'll get a live and moderated chat. And! If you subscribe to Critical Role, you instantly get access to all their shows as soon as the live broadcast ends. So while you're oogling those Critical Role dorks with their sick goof-'em-ups and their nutty voices, think of me, Gale, the current president of whatever. Now, I got to go make a fresh batch of spitballs, but I guess I have some time for your boring questions. You.
Gale, is it true that if you subscribe to Critical Role through Prime Gaming, you have to resubscribe every month? Uh, yeah. I do it right after my monthly prank call to Pee-on Tim. Next question.
Does Critical Role have exclusive emotes for their subscribers? Borlan: Uh, doy. Of course they do. I like the "Hello, bees!" one because bees are cool. I replaced my whole security detail with a bunch of bees that think I'm their queen. Last question!
Yeah, with all due respect, is Operation: Gag Me With a Spoon a real policy, or are you mad goofin'? Borlan: Am I mad goofin'? What, do you see me scarfing Milk Duds while doodling ding-dongs in the SkyMall catalog? Listen, I know I'm new to this. And I admit that when I made the wish to be the boss of everything, I did not know the witch that works at Woolworth's was listening. Well, Faustian bargain or not, I am the president now, and I have an obligation to lead this country. So to answer your question: No, I am not mad goofin'. Security, take him out!
Gale: Later, chudruckers!
And welcome back. So, here with the door open and the sight of what looks like the Willmaster standing there beyond the threshold, you mid-transformation, you towards the back of the chamber, what do you do?
Did I successfully find an access point to underneath the floor? Make an investigation check, actually. That's fair.
In this split second of time-- are we really hidden from view or is there full on gaps past our host's shoulders where we're all just going--
22 investigation. If I heard the knock, I would've gotten out of way of that anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't trust this.
Are we saying that we're all diving behind furniture and stuff and rolling stealth?
That's what I would-- I'm fucking not.
All right, well. Those of you that wish to, you can make a stealth check with disadvantage.
I will dive behind the nearest chair. With disadvantage? Wow.

Output:
- Gale delivered a chaotic speech claiming to have solved global warming and saved the Queen of England, then proposed "Operation: Gag Me With A Spoon" to force citizens to subscribe to Critical Role.

- The scene shifted to a game session where the group noticed the Willmaster standing beyond a threshold while they were mid-transformation.
- Gideon attempted to find an access point underneath the floor with a successful investigation check, while Kaelen questioned their visibility and Lyra decided to dive behind furniture.
- The Dungeon Master instructed the party to make stealth checks with disadvantage, causing Lyra to express frustration at the penalty.


Input: worth sacrificed himself to save the rest of you and to fell for good the foe that had long hunted you. In that fugue numbness of realization, you grabbed what you could, what remained of him, and what you could from what remained of Otohan Thull, continued to flee to the surface where you emerged. There amongst the red Ruidian landscape, the distant storms roiling, Liliana descended from above, and seeing the hurt in your face and all of your faces, realized what had likely transpired. It was here, still not truly grasping or processing what has happened and what is next, you stare upon the alien landscape and partially obscured horizon. thank you. Exhausted, but immediately trying to figure out where we are, if I recognize it, if anyone besides her mother is present, coming, are we in danger? Lay of the land. uh, make a perception check. Clara: Rerolling the one. That's 28. 28. Glancing around best you can, and it's fairly clear in the area you are now, the dust storms currently sit at least a number of miles off, though you're uncertain how fast they're moving at a quick glance, you do not see any other figures immediately present. Are we amongst the towers that were used for lookouts? Yeah, the guard houses. And security, is that where we are, where we've resurfaced or are we in a place that we don't, that Gwen doesn't recognize? So where you've pushed out from here, one of these side caverns, you took a look behind you and you can see the base of the mountain range that encircles Kreviris and continues past it. So you are just outside the city itself. You do not see any immediate outposts, but you figure if you were to leave a little further out, you would be essentially out in the open, visible from many of the outposts that encircle the crown-like mountainscape that surrounds the valley at the top of the city. Directly. Last clarification question. Is it obvious yet the direction from where we came from to get here, to get to the city? You can very easily see the Bloody Bridge, the single beam of red energy that sits in a direction which helps you orient yourself and your location right now from where you came. How do we stay out of their sight? Are there any crevices in the ground? I know there had been cracks and whatnot on the way here. Anything to hide in? I mean, if you get really close to the base of the mountain, there's probably some little alcoves you can pull in to stay out of any immediate sight. Any larger dips or cracks in the ground where you could hide from sight are a good 500 or more feet out and would probably put you out in the open before you reach them. Where are you at? Are you able to take us underneath? If there's something to get down there. I don't know what's down there. I'm going to see what's below us. Take a deep breath, and I'm going to. You grind through the ground and vanish below. While you're currently looking, Liliana is still gliding about a foot off the ground, her hair drifting. You can feel, almost taste the energy that sparks in the air around her. She's still just locked in on you, her face still sad. You can see the streaks of, not sure if they're tears of sadness or anger that watching.

Output:

Input: finds her place and begins reading. Stepping through a curtain to the back room. Ooh, beading. (laughs) Derek: (clattering) (laughter) There are a number of shelves here, have, you know, a number of empty spots. But there are books on display. There are other small, look almost like iron urns that have incense lit out of them that are giving the room this haze of smoke that sits around it. thank you. In the far corner on a stool, you see a female half-elf in probably what looks like her mid 20s or so, like curly, dirty blonde hair that just surrounds her head like a frame, like an archway almost. There's round, rosy cheeks, like a loose peasant blouse. She's also in the midst of reading a book and looks up, "Welcome, is there anything I can do for you?" Gwen: I just look at Seth. Marcus: Yeah. Seth kind of looks off to the side and you can see where the curtain was, there is a door that's been pushed off to the side and latched. Unlatches it and slowly closes the door where the curtain is. Derek: Who does that? Seth. Borlan: Seth does. "Yes, "we would like to speak with you. "Erma, was it?" She's sitting down with her book goes, "Yes, and oh, how can I be of service to you?" Seth stands there, looks at the rest of you, "Bren sends his regards." (gasping) You see that Erma figure looks forward, frozen in place, and there's this just tension, this standoff energy that fills the room. Seth then goes, "Please do not panic." Borlan and Gwen: (whooshes) Borlan: Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah, I swipe my hand along the chisel, and I reach out, and I'm going to use Blood Curse of Binding on her and try and bind her to the spot. Okay, what's the DC on that? It is 16. Constitution save? A strength saving throw. Strength save. Gwen: I'm going to immediately, if that doesn't work-- Silas: Yeah, I've got another, I've got one, too. It's a natural 14. She probably got it. Yeah.

Input: throw? Oh, no. We're going to pick Gwen up the way that you did the little child. Oh, perfect. There you go. Two shit throws in a row. It can't get any fucking worse. Come on, one! Yes! Yes! Yes! No! Yes! Yes! That's ridiculous! Seriously?! Throw that away! You need to put that shit in jail. You shouldn't have hit that woman with a sandbag. That's all right. You got them out of the way. When we fight a basilisk later, all those ones are gone. Dorian, Kaelen. How do you want to do this? We throw Gwen. Yeah, I don't think we help him. We just whoosh. They literally shot put Gwen about three or four feet. Did we get him in? No. He gets about four feet before he goes face first into the carpet. The carpet balls up in front of him as he skids for another foot, foot and a half, with his feet up in the air before they come to rest. There's a dust cloud. There's a loud gathering of voices going, "Ooh" and then silent as the music plays in the distance. I think that might have-- I'm going to get a drink. You guys carry on. Ow, my pride. Molly! The female guard goes and straightens out the carpet to get it right. Five copper. No, he paid already. Oh that's right. Then, by all means. It's a dexterity? With disadvantage.

It's still not terrible. I rolled two twos. That's a six. Dorian. You throw it with all your strength, and it goes straight up. Hits you in the top of the head and dangles off one of your horns. Did it mess up my jewelry? Here, hold on. Wait. Right, let's just-- Don't let it snag the earrings. It's out. Thank you. Go Kaelen! All right. Four. We suck at this. Just let me do it. I know I'll get it in. As it arcs, it lands. There's a little poof of dust behind. It only gets about four feet from you, unfortunately. It's like a weird shape, you know? It changes in the air. I hardly know, but I've thrown a baby before. Odd. However, we do have one successful in! and they reach over into a satchel on the side and pull out-- A fresh strawberry for the victor. That's it? A strawberry? Is it red? It's actually pretty tasty. Fresh, sweet. It's delicious. Mmm. Mm-hmm. How much for a strawberry? Oh, we don't sell the strawberries. You can buy them further in. Here, you pay for the "prestige of a victory and a strawberry. If you get all three, you get a candied apple. (gasps) (muffled) Tastes better with a

Oh gosh. You see hi-- None of you see anything. Fy'ra Rai. Yes. You actually see Cyrus unleashes a bow and it glances off the big bubble butt of this spider-- bubble butt, harmlessly. Thank you. The spider rears back, and he's like, "Fuck." Do better! Help. Watching. Help, help. He is staring at you going, "Help, help." The spider hasn't moved, he's just nervous about the future. And we are back up to the top. Morrighan, you're up, it is dark as shit. It's dark as shit. Did I see where Fy'ra was before? Wait, hold on. There's one more thing I want to do. Oh, okay.

Yeah! Yay! Yeah! Aura of Protection, baby! 20, baby! Hell yeah! Paladin power! Let's go! Appreciate that! Love it. It's in the rules! It's in the rules. It's in the rules! The rules of the game say I can do this. That's awesome. Hell yeah. Incredible. I finally got a decent roll. You all feel something wash over you. A sense of helplessness, of momentum shifting. You reach towards the magic that you share with one another and shake it off. It is artificial and foreign to you, pressed on you by the magic of the Spider Queen that is trying to get you to leave Opal alone. Back up to the top. Morrighan, you're up. Did I

Yes, unfortunately. I understand. He's small. He's easy to lose track of. Yeah, we just-- Well-- Yeah. He likes to stay, he's private in the off season. You know how to find him? If he were here, he would say, "Yes, I have privates." (laughs) (laughter) It's a-- That's actually very impressive. --sexual joke. Yeah, that was just-- That was very good. It's like he's here. Just like him, yep. Okay. Yeah. Maybe we can-- I'll try to fill in for him while I can. (laughter) Yeah. Please do. Please do.

Input: Okay. What are my stats? They're a lot lower than Patia's. Oh, oh-ho. 23. 23. Cedric: 22. 22, all right. Maeve: Ah. Glancing around, you do see of the many tapestries that are spaced around here, some of which that, one has a triangular mountain with two hammers that cross over the front. You glance around and see one that shows the crest of Emon, and then one you do see has a tree frame that carries upward, its roots and its branches reaching out with a sun above it, and you know this to be the crest of the Chamber of Whitestone. Julian: Fully accurate, or is it the Legoland version like everything else? Dorian: Ha! Of your keen perception, you will notice that it is missing two of the stars. The coloration's off a bit, and it looks like it's been sun bleached to a point where the blue has now come to a faded teal. Cedric: They haven't updated it in 75 years, but that's the Whitestone crest right there. Tim: Huh. Dorian: So wait, I've heard of King Drassig, but who's our guy supposed to be? Elias: Oh yeah, was it some wizard or something? Maeve: I don't know. Tim: I genuinely faded-- Errevon demands you decide on what you have to drink before you are frozen for all eternity. Dorian: Who are you and what have you done? I am Errevon the Rimelord. Rimelord. I'm great elemental deity that broke forth from the realm of ice and froze all of Tal'Dorei for many years before I was-- Cedric: Oh. Tim: Is this true? sundered and sent back to my realm, but there I wait, plotting to bring you the finest in service here at A Taste of Tal'Dorei. Julian: That part is true, that part is true. Clara: Wow! Tim: That's impressive. Dorian: Got it, yeah. Clara: This feels great. Elias: Is this the kind of place where they cook the food at the table, or is that not this place? ERIKA: I think if you get some of the platters of things, that they'll do that. If you look, there are stars next to the ones on the menu that have a presentation involved. Dorian: A presentation! Elias: Thank you. They're a little more pricey, but they're worth it, trust me. Clara: We should do it. Elias: Yeah. Clara: We should do one of the presentations. Elias: Apps for the whole table. Clara: Yes, yes, yes. Maeve: In your head-- Dorian: Let's do one of those. I want one of the ones that come in the big trough bowls. Tim: Do you want a fire vibe or an ice vibe? I'm a big fan of the ice vibe, although they got a few-- Cedric: They have a sampler platter that's the Chroma Conclave. Get a little bit of everything. Julian: Yeah, I mean, Tal'Dorei's a big place. Is there any Zephrah or Ashari themed drinks on this cocktail menu? On the cocktail menu, there is what's called an Ashari Breezer. Julian: Ooh. Dorian: Get the fuck out! Cedric: That was literally in my head, too. That's what I would've said. Julian: We'll take eight Ashari Breezers. Cedric: Yes. Of course. Cursed druid magic! I will have my revenge! Also, a Thordak's pepper poppers, please. I'll see if we have any left in the back. Elias: What is a Disappearing Syngorn Sausage? That's for our late night clientele. For the dinner menu only.

Input: There's multiple presentations of Mao. Is Mao Zedong, which pronunciation's correct 'cause we got taught a bunch of different ones. Uh, there's like 20 different pronunciations of Mao. I don't know which one's correct. Every British person trying to like pronounce Chinese words. Uh, terrible. We learned about that. Thank you. See, that's cool though because we had in Australia. At least in my school we had ancient history, which was like about like the Romans. We didn't do any ancient history. Egyptians, that kind of stuff. That's what we learned as well. And then we had modern history, which was about World War 1, World War 2, Vietnam war. We did so much on world war 2. Yeah. 'Cause British people love World War 2. Yeah. They fucking love it. Of course they do. Literally they're like, "Look guys, we beat the odds." Yeah. "We did it, we got 'em." Yeah, 'cause like I only remember world war 1 and world war 2 being taught in my school. I think we were taught a bit of American history, but it was just very glossed over. I don't know why. I don't know why it was glossed over. Watching. At least for me I don't know if it was because we have GCSE, which are like when you get to age 16, you can pick three or four subjects. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. One of them was history I chose. So that's why. Oh, you chose history. That's why I did. We learned American history and Chinese history. Oh, okay 'cause the most I did- The generic one was just like world war 2. Yeah, I did the generic shit. I've only done the generic shit up to GCSE, which I didn't even pick history. It was just always like trench foot is bad. Do you have accelerated like history classes here like AP? No, we don't do that in the UK. The only one that has it is math. We have advanced mathematics. Right. Yeah, yeah. It's called further maths. I know it 'cause I took it. That's the only subject in the UK that had it. Who would have thought the two Asians on the podcast took accelerated maths. Accelerated maths? Yeah, we called it- Oh Gosh! Accelerated maths. Yeah, ours was called accelerated maths. Is that like trigonometry or something? No, trigonometry was the basic stuff. You had to like pass trigonometry as to get to further maths. Accelerated maths was like, like three dimensional graphs. Yeah, imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers and stuff like that. Okay. But I did notice like when I compared what I learned at school to what Sydney learnt at school at the same time especially with maths. I don't know if it's just because, I don't know if it was like the education system, but I would noticed that, what I learnt was like way before what Sydney learned in school sometimes. I don't know how the education system works, but then I also know that compared to Asian, Asian schools they are like, way further beyond whatever I fucking learned in school. Math is everything. They were doing like college level maths in high school. And I was just like, "What!" Yeah, like in Japanese schools you learn

Output:
*   The speakers discussed the various pronunciations of "Mao Zedong" and criticized the difficulty British people have with Chinese pronunciation.
*   They compared their school history curriculums, noting that the Australian speaker learned about Romans and Egyptians while the other focused on World War 1 and 2.
*   The conversation shifted to the UK education system, where the speaker explained the GCSE choice mechanism and the lack of AP-style accelerated history classes.
*   The group identified "further maths" (or accelerated maths) as the only advanced subject available in the UK, distinguishing it from basic trigonometry.
*   They compared their math experiences to those of Asian schools, observing that Japanese students were learning college-level mathematics while they were struggling with basic concepts.
*   The speakers concluded that the Asian education system was significantly more advanced than the systems they experienced in the UK or Australia.


Input: a monstrosity that has had uses throughout the ages as trained guardians of vaults of mages been known to be-- some holy sites have... some systems of belief would have one of these creatures possibly that are protected and they're also been weaponized in the past. But this one's heavily twisted, mutated in ways that remind you of tales of wide corruption that was once utilized by agents of Xhorhas back during the calamity to the far east. Nature's denizens were usually found and twisted to assail their homelands and spread destruction and used as implements of war on the front lines in those age old times. Does it look like there's anything salvageable or of use on this creature's--? Not with the way you killed it. (laughter) Yeah. Disintegrate. But you do notice, the front of its face resembles a classic bull-like head, but it's a bit swollen at the front, and as opposed to a normal jaw, its mouth opens up into two parts of this big scoop shovel and there's no teeth. Ew, weird. He eats plankton! Just sucks down krill. Cornelius goes, How did you get here? What happened? I see you managed to deal with that thing right over there. Thank you for that. I assume these are your friends. Hi, I'm Cornelius, I'm Lyra' father, and you see this large, older firbolg, similar in appearance to Lyra, this though bit thicker, a bit portlier, gray hair, braided in two sides down the front. Dangling these little tufts at the bottom that have a bit of jewelry. This is Calliope, Lyra' younger sister. And you see she's wearing a similar chest plate to Lyra', actually. The same coloration and design and it's funny, of the two of them which look very much what you assume, Lyra' appearance being what it is, his father a little more cartoony variation of that. Calliope looks stoic and badass. She looks up the rest of you, holding her mace at her side. It's a pleasure to meet you. Lyra, thank you. You were both gone a very long time. I waited and... no one returned. And I know I wasn't supposed to leave, but I left. Is anybody else here? I mean... I think I-- somewhere around here I saw your mother, and he looks over and you can see, just beyond the tree, one of the standing bodies is indeed Constance. Oh, good. Am I near Constance? Right there. Yeah, I'm going to run over to her and cast Greater Restoration. Okay. As she, in the middle of her mid-battle form, like-- Whoa, what? Don't worry, you're safe. Just drops her weapon and runs towards Lyra, gives a huge hug and picks him up a little bit. She has, like-- it's short on the sides and then has a soft mohawk that braids into a single long braid down the back. She's wearing these gray travel robes, just a little bit of leather armor underneath. She's picks up-- I'm so happy to see you. I was so worried. That thing. Where's Corrin? I came here with Corrin. She turns back and looks in the direction of the-- Bull. You see she takes a couple steps forward. Takes a couple more steps forward. Leans down, picks up one piece that looks like the shoulders and head of the statue, chipped.

Input: some sort of primate, like a jungle creature that it then begins to feast on and pull within its wolven jaws and stringy bits of sinew pulled through as it eats, and the warden atop it just holding with one spear on its side glancing over and keeping an eye on everyone else here in the port. Make a perception check. uh, I'd also like to make a perception check, but I'm just looking for any other birds overhead. Indeed, go for it. Derek: (ominous humming) Aria: 21. Maeve: It's right here. thank you. 21. You got it. Marcus: 14. um, 14. I mean, there are many jungle birds, and they make you nervous, but none that seem to be-- Marcus: The one. -- piquing your worry-- Marcus: Okay, okay. watching. -- at the moment. Dorian: What does that mean? At the very least. (laughs) Dorian: What does that mean? Derek: Did you not--? Marcus: Might've followed me. I don't know. Dorian: Shithead? Okay. Aria: Shithead. You glance through the crowd, look over at the other ship. On one side, you do not see a name emblazoned or posted across the front. The other side, you do see a bit of painted text that looks like it's-- It would be difficult to make out given the shadow and the way that the light is vanishing on the horizon and the bit of a reflection that's hitting the painted side of it, but you can get at a right angle and read it. It is The Herald's Breath. Marcus: Herald's Breath. We landed in the Aerie Spire? Dorian: Mm-hmm. Yes. Maeve: Where one lands-- Marcus: Mm-hmm. Maeve: -- in Jrusar. Aria: I'll head back to the group. Okay. All of you have gathered. It seems that the ship documents are still being looked through by the representative, but Xandis walks over to the rest of you as you gather up here in the center of the main dock spread here at the skyport. "Well, it has certainly been quite eventful. "You all seem to be fairly on the straight and narrow "if a little strange. "I like it, front to back "so hopefully we have a chance "to do weird adventuring shit again in the future." Cedric: Thank you for getting us there and back again. Appreciate it. Maeve: And for saving our ass in the process. "Well, thank you for not getting my ship "entirely blown away by ridiculous ideas "and making me chase down all sorts of crazy shadows. "So, appreciated." Dorian: That jolt at the beginning, you know, if you really want to upgrade the aesthetic of your ship, you can invest in some more wood. You know, I book out pretty far in advance, but I'll consider it because we're close, we're tight. We've been in the foxhole together now. "Look, I'm more than happy "for anyone to update the ship. "It doesn't really belong to me. "I'm on the payroll of Lord Eshteross, so." Dorian: Oh. "Convince him to make some upgrades "and I'd be happy to have it taken care of." Dorian: I'll talk to him. "Appreciate it." Marcus: Are we supposed to tip this guy or...? Maeve: I've never been on an airship before. I don't know. Dorian: I think he's pretty well compensated. Marcus: All right. They are pretty well compensated. Marcus: Well, thank you. "No worries. "Well, I'm going to go drink and sleep for two days." Marcus: Okay. Marches off back to the person, grabs the paperwork.

Input: somebody just didn't store a piece of fish properly, that's negligence on their part, and then they served it to you. Yeah, uh, I get that. That's why I don't treat it the same. I don't treat it the same either but it's still an illness. Regardless if it can be helped, or it cant be helped, it's still an illness. That's why I feel like, Because it's not a way to. Okay. Would you count cancer as an illness then? You don't get cancer from eating fish. No. No No. What I'm saying is, is you treat it completely differently but it's still an illness. Yeah. But that's something you can just get. That's just different. Most of the time, uh, lung cancer? Yeah, yeah. What if you smoke enough, that's, technically, human error. Yeah. But that's on you. That's on you. (laughing) So then in that case, it wouldn't be an illness, according to you. But even then, stuff like that, it's like it only raises your chances, whereas if somebody just gives you, flat out, a completely fucked up piece of fish or meat that has been stored improperly, you're going to get sick 100%. Whereas there are people who've been chain smoking from age 10 till 100 who don't get it. So it's complete luck on that part. But with the storage, food and all that, that's like, "All right. Somebody fucked up." You know what I mean? That's categorically, someone just fucked up and they gave it to you, and poisoned you. That's what it is. It's different to getting an illness. It's totally different. Doctors in the comments are cracking up right now. I bet. on this conversation. I actually wanna know what people think about this. I feel like I'm not the only one who thinks this way towards food poisoning. This is not a weird thing. It's just you getting ill. That's just it. But if you ask me how often do I get ill, I wouldn't count that because that's got nothing to do with. It's an illness. No, it's not. You're literally sick. If I were to just make myself vomit, would you say that I've gotten an illness? No. Well then why would food poisoning count towards that.? Because it's a literal disease. But that's got no comment to how often you get ill, that's how often you eat bad shit. No. Yeah. It's entirely different. No. I mean, it all depends on your environment, but obviously if you are in an environment, where a lot of people are ill or are going through a wave of illness, then you're more like to get ill. In the same way, if you live in an environment, where people are less careful with their food preparation, then you're more like to get ill. That is a thing. If you go to South-East Asia or a lot of places where the food standards aren't as high, It's true. It's true. Yeah. No, it's true. I'm not throwing shade, I'm just saying facts here. Okay, guys? I'm saying facts here. You go to a fucking street vendor on the street, your just like, "How was this meat prepared? Where did this meat come from?" They don't fucking know. From the back of my truck. Exactly. Exactly. I mean, it's all risk. It's all risk at the end.

Input: a little charred, a little blistered in a lot of places. Definitely some third-degree burns in some areas. uh Derek, you're up. Sylvia: Derek will swim around that column a bit to try to get as close as possible, and start weaving his hands in the water, and muttering arcane words and say, I have an offering for you! And I will pull out my middle finger and say you make a shitty god, you bedazzled cephalopod! And I will cast Banishment. Derek: Oh, yeah! Elias: Yes! watching. Game Master: Okay. Derek: Bravo! Elias: Do this. Kaelen: Come on. Rowan: Let's go. Game Master: What save is that? Sylvia: Charisma. Game Master: Charisma. Game Master: 17. Sylvia: 17! thank you. Game Master: It's not his best save, but I rolled high on that. Sylvia: You rolled high. Fuck! Game Master: Beauregard, make a Charisma saving throw, plus a d4. Elias: Oh, no! Sylvia: See you in hell, Beauregard. Kaelen: (laughs) Fuck you, Derek. Fuck you! Elias: Oh, no! Rowan: Wait, do I have to because I'm in the vicinity? Sylvia: No. He chooses. Kaelen: He chooses? Rowan: He chooses. Arthur: Did you add your d4? Kaelen: I'm about to. Mmkay. Borlan: Uh-oh. Kaelen: Mm-mmm. Derek: (laughs) Derek: Say it! Kaelen: 14. Game Master: Where were you--? Okay, so-- Sylvia: To his home turf. Kaelen: (yelling) Game Master: Beauregard vanishes from the battlefield in a flash of arcane power. Beauregard, as you're right there, fists burning, you get this weird sensation, like this weird sparkling around your torso, and then suddenly darkness, and you are adrift on this endless sea of sparkling gossamer. Kaelen: (incredulous laughing) Game Master: Stars and silver. All your friends are gone. The water's gone. Derek: Oh, shit! Game Master: You are just floating. Elias: Can she breathe? Game Master: Yeah, you can breathe. Elias: Oh, okay. Sylvia: Sure, it's-- Derek: Well, that's convenient. Game Master: And as you go to inhale-- (coughs) you cough all the water out of your lungs, and you are alone. (laughter) It is cold and you are alone. Derek: Oh, boy. Borlan: Is it dark? Game Master: It's dark beyond bits of weird silver scapes of cloud and sparkles from all around. You see distant little clusters of looks like floating rocks, slowly rotating. Derek: Cool, cool, cool. Game Master: All right Kaelen: Am I dead? Game Master: Maybe. Sylvia: Question for the DM. Game Master: Yes. Sylvia: I remember-- I'm not using luck. I have Fortune's Favor. Luck used to be, you could make a target re-roll as well. Does that apply here? Game Master: No. Fortune's Favor is about your fortune. Not somebody else's. Sylvia: Got it. Arthur: Fuck. Sylvia: All right, done. Byeee! Kaelen: (laughs) Derek: Wild. Arthur: It could get worse. Game Master: Lair actions now. Elias: Lair actions. Game Master: The creature, now getting back up into its space. Sylvia: Don't worry, Julian, you're safe. Game Master: Freaked out by what's over in that area. It's going to go ahead and-- Derek: You mean the giant portal or the giant mini dreadnought? Game Master: Both. Borlan: (laughs) Game Master: But this is the lair action. In this space, it is going to... It wastes its lair action on your illusion. Elias: Yes! Game Master: And the direction of your illusion and your illusion. Elias: Yes! Game Master: So nobody is hypnotized-- Derek: Hey! Borlan: Hey! Derek: That's something! Oh, thank god. Rowan: Wait, I was in that, but I'm already hypnotized. Game Master: You're already hypnotized. Rowan: I can't be doubly hypnotized. Elias: Does it discern anything about the illusions or anything? Game Master: It hasn't taken its turn yet. That was its lair action. Elias: Got it. Derek: Think it has to touch it.

Input: do it! Bless you. Roll for me, boy! Before we go, during that night, just go outside, stare up at the night sky. From my own vision, anything weird seem off? Any weird feelings? How's the moon doing? Just checking, because, you know, it's the first night after Akira bubble. uh, roll a perception check. It's technically the second night after. And every night-- Time's fuzzy. Every night that we sleep on the ship, I'm going to cast Shared Dream. You have a Shared Dream spell? I've been trying to do it for 20 episodes, yeah. Wait, you can really do-- I just thought you were going to Detect Thoughts on me while I was sleeping. You have a spell for it? I made a spell for it. You did? That's some weird custom shit. That's so fucking cool! 18. So just in case it ever happens. Okay. I didn't know you could do that. All right. So-- Read that shit. During the night in which you are out looking up, you can see where Catha's high in the sky at a fair crescent. You see the dull, maroon sphere of Ruidus. It's still arcing across at an angle, a number of weeks away from the zenith. But you look up and focus. You feel the cold wind rush past you. You find yourself shivering. And you hear a howl. A loud arcing howl. In your mind, you're trying to figure out where that source could be. And the howl is yours, beyond your control, like an instinctual howl in that direction. You stop yourself midway, and look at your hands, and you can see the fur pushing past the fingers a bit. And then it's gone. That's some Teen Wolf shit. Wait, where were you looking? Michael J. Fox, the good one. This is your dream. You were just looking at a moon, both moons, one moon? What caused that? What was that? Cool, cool, cool. He was looking up at the moon. There's two moons! Which moon? So the howl finishes-- The big bitch, probably. Okay. The fur starts and recedes. Catha. Catha. I think his fucking werewolf-- Oh hi, Catha. I put my hand to my chest, how's my heart rate? Catha, you're my favorite moon. It's pretty quick. It's pretty quick. He's going full wolf. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I guess it's time. It's time? For what? Soon. I will have slept, with it open, I'm just going to sleep in the hole next to Sarah's body. It's fucked up. Okay. Okay, fair enough. With it open, though. Yeah, I'm not closing the hole with me in it. All righty. I'll be down there with her. Okay. So what'd you roll for the-- A five. A five. Roll a d6 for me. Ey! Oh boy. Oh no. Oh, that's what you want to hear. A three. That is actually what you want to hear. Now roll a d20. I love the d6. There's something about a d6. On the second day of travel-- Love a d6. On the second day of travel. On

Input: I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, Pâté just dies sometimes. It's totally fine. He just does it. Oh, well, yes, he totally did it to himself. Ow! Sprinkle! He bit my ear! I'm sorry, I was just joking, little man. I just summon Pâté back. Huh? What happened? Where am I? Oh yeah, that's right. You. Oh, I'm sorry, a little miscommunication on our side. Apologies, won't happen again. You play rough. I do. I like a sense of humor on a talking skull! Yes, he's very funny. It's good, okay. Yes, yes. All right, get in your house, come on. Uh, thank you. Ah! That's good. That's good. Oh, that's horrible. Yeah. So yeah, a group disguise, then? Well, okay, but we have not landed on anything. Are we doing "Con Air" or "Wicker Man" or "Leaving Las Vegas?" We should just start walking. All of it. We'll figure it out. Yeah. We just need to be a bunch of Reilorans. You know what they look like. Cheers to that. Well, I saw-- Well, yes, I do. Yeah, you know what they look like. What's the right-- We'll pick an outfit that is not too conspicuous for a bunch of Reilorans. Yeah, make us look like soldiers and well to do people and like-- Not too well to do. Is that what we're going to do? We're going to do the martial class of them that we saw down here, like guards walking around? People are less likely to talk to you, give you shit. Bother us. I think that's a good idea. Oh god. Thanks, Braius. No. Don't do that. Sorry, I was yawning. If I had some popcorn, I would just go for it. All right, yes. Mr. Pock O'Pea, and my friend Marcus, and you, young man, you're going to be a little on the shorter side. Who are you talking to? Oh, that's Sarah. He's talking to the little guy. Oh, I'm so sorry. The shorter end of the spectrum here. Do we want to do maybe these Bormodo you have described? Yeah, I'm down. Oh yeah, yeah. I think we can mix it up so we don't all look exactly the same like a big clump. It would be better, be more natural. Good idea. Good thinking. The last wrinkle is if we are trying to meet your contacts, we are going to look different for them as well. So maybe they need a heads up. Yeah, plus I can speak to them in their mind as soon as we see them. All right. All right. It's cool. So you're going to change us into these things, we're going to teleport down there or we're going to walk down there? I think we're going to walk down there, is the plan. Save the spells? Save the spells. Save the spell for now. Because if we need to get out super fast, it'd be good to have the teleportation available to us. Yeah. Good point. Very good point. Good thing it's on our team. Is there anybody upstairs, by the way? I know we haven't left the basement yet, but I suppose we're watching.

Input: glass put on the front, the scattered scrapes on them. It's like they've seen some challenges in the past. As you go over and tap this spell and instill the energy with it, Xandis goes, "All right, um, let's see if we can do this." I need you to roll a d20 for me, with advantage because you said you cast Enhance Ability, right? Marcus: Yes, I did. Oh, the second one's a 19 plus stuff, maybe. DM: All righty. Okay. With that, Xandis goes, "We're going to ride a little low, just for now!" And adjusts one of these levers on the side. You watch the brumestone that is lodged in the front of the ship, actually the two front center ones, dull slightly. The ship begins to go down. It was already pretty low, and now skims off the sand. The whole ship feels a lurching. Dorian: That's a hard deck. Oh fuck. DM: Then gets down to just a few feet off the ground and then rests itself. But at this point as you're this low to the ground, you can feel the intense wind is quite lesser. It's almost like the majority of it's being pulled up, about maybe 50 to 100 feet off the main surface and the rest that are here is just a general dust. It lets the sails pick up a little bit and the majority of the dust storm not be damaging everybody-- Marcus: Cool, cool, cool. DM: -- on the ship at the moment. Marcus: That's a success, yes? DM: That's another success. Marcus: Two successes, one failure, is that correct? Maeve: What do we have left? A couple more? Marcus: We need four. Maeve: Four successes? Okay. As he does that and we're heading down, I'm going to raise my arms up and cast Calm Emotions. Marcus: On the storm? Maeve: No, on the crew. Marcus: Oh. Maeve: To try to-- Cedric: Keep them levelheaded. Maeve: -- keep them levelheaded and make sure everybody's doing the job they need to and not freaking out. DM: Okay, great. I will say, for the purposes of this skill check, we'll consider a persuasion check with advantage because of the use of Calm Emotions to aid you in this endeavor to keep everyone on task and not freaking out. Maeve: Okay. Persuasion. 17. DM: 17, all right. Third success. So as the elements of your spell wash out, you can see now, the darkness of the storm is not quite as intense at this lower level. But you see now another buffeting of shadow beginning to push forward and Xandis going, "All right, it looks like there's not really much of a better direction to go but through!" Goes ahead and now pulls the level back up and the front brumestone glows brightly. They pull another lever. "Pull on the sails!" You see everyone (groans) tugs in, and as it does, they turn the ship and pick up the force of the wind that's blowing to the side now, and rides in the direction of the storm. It is extremely harrowing. But as you release your Calm Emotions, you can see the look of tension and fear on the crew's face begin to subside and turn to concentration. With that, the ship, which feels like it's about to spin out of control begins to move with it and use the quickly adjusting, shifting, buffeting of the winds on each side to move itself forward, pushing through, ping pong, pinballing its way through the middle of this sandstorm. Dorian: Nice. Maeve: Okay, yeah. Marcus:

Output:
- The group successfully lowered the ship to skim the sand, utilizing two successes and one failure to manage the descent.
- Xandis adjusted the levers and the brumestone stones, causing the vessel to rest just feet above the ground.
- Maeve cast Calm Emotions on the crew to prevent panic, which resulted in a successful persuasion check with advantage.
- Xandis then raised the ship's level and pulled the sails to harness the wind, directing the vessel into the sandstorm.
- The crew's fear subsided into concentration as the ship began to maneuver through the buffeting winds and shadow.
- Dorian and Maeve acknowledged the successful navigation through the harrowing storm conditions.


Input: going to. Wulf, I don't know. Say no more. He's a big brute. We hate him. Is that a risk? If you're saying that, is there a risk in between now and then of them spilling their beans? Should we just try and grab them? um, Yeah, is a heads-up better, or is it like, uh, "Meet us in five minutes"? Well, they're not going to have a... Maybe it's a, "Meet us in five minutes," or "Are you available to chat?" Or, "We're outside. Come down and see us." Yeah, I like that. "Outside and come down in five minutes" is in Trent's backyard. It's all right; he can die, too. Oh! No, that's a different city. Just send her a message and just say, "Hey, old friend in town here. Why don't you meet us at the... Grim Shelf Tavern." Love it when Arthur uses his notes. The Grim Shelf Tavern. Or the Stone Coffin Fighting Pit, because that would just be fun to go visit. No. We meet them at the dance hall. The dance hall? The dance hall? The oops-stone dance hall. I'm going to send the message to Astrid. When should I tell her to meet us? Dusk. Sure. Dusk. Hi. Julian wants to talk to you. It's important. Important. Meet us at the dance hall at dusk. Tell nobody. Keep it secret from you-know-who. Well done. um, A brief moment before you get a response. "Danke. I'll be there. Please tell Julian, 'Thank you.'" That's all. She said Danke, she'll be there. And also to tell you, "Thank you." Well, that's nice. She's thanking you for the dance hall? What am I missing here? What is she saying thank you for? Is she saying thank you because-- She might've been saying thank you to you for passing along-- No, no, no. She said, "Tell Julian 'thank you." Giving him another chance? Maybe? No? I don't know. What if she's saying thank you because as soon as she sees us, they're going to be able to bring us in and it's going to give her the ability to rise up to the top? Well, then perhaps you will all remain hidden and I will talk to her. Yes. Okay. We'll form a perimeter. We'll stay in the shadows. Some of us will turn invisible. We'll watch. Good idea. Maybe one more of you in the hall. You know, since I have 87 hit points. Yeah, I think that's fine. In disguise. We can all be in disguise if we have to. Fuck it. It doesn't even really have to be you. Can't you project a hologram of him or something? I can project a hologram of me. Oh, okay. You can't dance with hologram. Ooh, I could disguise myself and then project a holograph! Well, no. I think just maybe spreading ourselves out amongst the hall. It's not they don't already know that you contacted. Oh, right. There wasn't a request to come alone. We had Vess DeRogna show up, remember? That's true. She wasn't there. So shopping then? Yeah. Shopping then dancing. All righty. So for the day in Rexxentrum, what are you shopping for? Who's looking for what? Well, I need to find a

Input: chest and part of the shoulders, a dull iron color to it that's over his chest. You see a heavy waistband of dull gray leather that's like a thick, almost a foot thick piece around there and a rough-looking warhammer that's strapped to his side and he has his arms crossed and smiling widely at you with a very welcoming smile. "That was impressive. That guy you just destroyed up there? He's kind of a douc. I could tell. What's your purpose here? Are you looking for work? Yes, you. I mean, it depends on what kind of work, I guess. Well, mercenary work, of course. All right, well, first off, my name is Darrow. Hello Darrow. What's your name? Kaelen, you said? My name is Kaelen. All right, pleasure to meet you. Well, I am the de facto leader of a mercenary band known as the Stubborn Stock. We're out of Guar on the Menagerie Coast, but we've been hired for about a seven month stint so far by the Empire and it's been paying pretty well. We've had some pretty good scenarios here. The retainer's been nice and honestly, it's not bad to be paid to sit around in case they need us. What kind of work? It's just going out and killing things? Well, when they need us. To kill things, to hunt things down. There's a lot of business that they can't bring the military to and the Crownsguard stay in the cities so they send us out and about. That's only if they need us. It's no contract? You can come and go as you please if you like? Well, it's contract. You have to be there for their disposal. We're stationed up in Nogvurot and have been for the length of this contract, but we were able to come down for this celebration and it's been not too bad. It's good wage, sit around, occasionally hunt down some criminal Xhorhasian terror that's come down from the mountains. It's a pretty decent living if I say so myself and you look like a very capable soldier if I say, again. Yeah. Yeah, you can say so. Sure. Would you be interested? Maybe. I don't know. Do you have like a pamphlet or something? (laughter) We have no pamphlet. My band of esteemed warriors are planning to be in the Victory Pit later this afternoon. The Victory Pit! We could very much use an additional soldier of your capability. We were actually thinking of going that way. I'm afraid she's spoken for. He turns and looks and seemingly for the first time notices the rest of your group. Goes like Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I mean no disrespect-- hi-- but I do not understand that. I do not wish to step on any toes here, it was merely a curiosity. What are you called? The Mighty Nein. To travel incognito, but-- Just kidding. The Mighty Nein. The Mighty Nein. Very good. We're Kaelen's booker. It's like her agency. They're all actually very, very strong and very tough. So-- Yeah! I won this doll before! That's impressive. That's a good find. Good on you. You know who that's supposed to be? The king or something? I was going to say a tiny asshole. One and the same, really. Wait, I heard

Input: adult I'm talking, I understand as a child that a lot of things can become choking hazards, but I didn't understand it until I went to America for the first time and had like my first American steak where it's like- - Oh God I know you're in. - It's not a steak. It's just a slab of meat at that point. - Yeah, yeah. - They like plop it on and you're just like, "Wow! I kind of feel like Hannibal Lecter right now." I'm like, "Jesus Christ." And then you just start chewing into this thing. And then they're like, and you start chewing it. And it's like, it's just a lot of meat. Garnt laughs - Yeah, yeah. - This can be taken out of context, I've never had that much meat in my mouth at once. Like just in general. Right? - Was it too much meat in your mouth to handle? - It was a bit too much meat in my mouth. - It's a bit hard to swallow, wasn't it? - It was very hard to swallow, and I'm just like, "Jesus." Okay, I can understand how people can choke on steaks now. - But also if they use like a really cheap cut of meat. Yeah, holy fuck! - It's like chewing on leather. - It's like a dog talking. - Sometimes it's good though. It's like beef flavored gum. - No. - What the fuck? That is the worst stake I've ever had.

So I went there. And yeah I went with a friend, and we both order it. And I was like steak in Japan is quite expensive to get a good steak. - Yeah. - And they bought the cheapest steak, but which also had the option to have the biggest size out of any of the steak. So none of the other steaks were like 300 grams. - Right yeah. - For some reason this one stake that was super cheap. - Yeah sirloin or something? - It was called like it, but it was named something like man meat or something. - Man meat? Joey laughing - It was like something supposed to be manly. all laughing And it was called monster meat or something. That's even worse. - No joke, it was called like monster cut meat. And I was like, "What the fuck is that?" So I was like, the sirloin you get about half the meat. It's about double the

Output:
*   The speakers discussed a traumatic experience eating a large, cheap steak in America that felt like chewing on leather or a bag of sand.

*   Garnt and Joey laughed while the group recalled the "40 Year Old Virgin" movie scene regarding the unpleasant texture.
*   The conversation shifted to a restaurant chain in Japan called Ikinari Steak where the speaker and a friend ordered the cheapest option.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it. You're going to do it? Okay, so that reduces it to three points of cold damage-- All right. -- as well as three points of psychic damage from it, so you take six damage total. Okay. Okay. Second attack is going to be a natural 20. Holy cow. All right. Let's see what you got, bitch. All right, that's going to be eight plus four. 12 points of cold damage. Okay. Is that halved as well?

They all have you flanked, so the rest of them get advantage on their attacks. Oh fuck. Whoa. (nervous laughter) Okay, mmkay, mmkay, mmkay. So the first one's going to make two attacks against you, with advantage, that's going to be 18 to hit. No. First one (whooshes) misses you or strikes the armor and slides off. Its second attack is going to be, that's going to be 22 to hit. Yes. You take five points of cold damage. That's from the one on that corner. That's with my boost, too? Halved? That's with the boost. Yeah, 21 is my boost. Okay. So five reduced to-- One on this side is going to attack you twice with advantage. That's going to be a 15 to hit, which misses you. No. That's going to be 18 to hit, which I think misses you with the armor boost, right? Yes, misses, misses. Whew! Next one, that's going to be 21 to hit. That just hits. That just hits. You take eight points of cold damage. Reduced. Reduced to four. Reduced to four. What do I reduce the five to? It was two. Okay. Five doesn't divide by two. Well, it reduces it on the same turn, not round. What? So the first attack, it was the first one that attacked you twice with the crit, it reduced that one. It hasn't reduced the ones after that. So technically they're taking their own different rounds. Oh, I thought it was to the end of your turn. Yeah, I think-- Is that what it says? Let me double check. (sighs) "Until the end of

Output:
- Aria utilized a reaction to become resistant to cold damage, which reduced the initial attack from seven points to three points of cold damage plus three points of psychic damage.
- The DM rolled a natural 20 for the second attack, resulting in 12 points of cold damage, which was subsequently halved to six points after the resistance applied for the end of the next turn.
- Borlan and Gwen expressed shock as the DM described the enemy swarm flanking Aria from four corners, granting them advantage on attacks.
- Aria successfully avoided two attacks with advantage due to her armor boost, but took five points of cold damage from one strike and eight points from another.
- Confusion arose regarding the duration of the resistance feature, with the DM clarifying that it only reduced the specific attack that triggered the resistance, not subsequent attacks in the same round.
- Aria prepared to double-check the text description of the feature while Silas and Marcus tracked the damage calculations and boost values.


Input: You listen here, everyone's quietly moved in. Tim moved to the edge quietly, sat down. Sylvia moved to the edge quietly opened his book. You just close and listen. Absolute silence. That weird deafening silence where the eardrums seem to almost push in. Anybody else do anything? uh... Borlan: I'm humming very quietly. You'll hear that. um... Elias: I want to go to the edge of the bridge and see how far I can see. Game Master: About 30 feet of what you can see in your darkvision. The bridge, it bows slightly as it moves further out, but you're not sure how far out it goes, but you can see 30 feet of it before it vanishes into the darkness ahead. Sylvia: Anybody up for figuring out how far of a drop this is? Sarah: I take out a ball bearing. Marcus: (laughs) Game Master: You don't hear an impact. Instead, you hear (whispering). One, 12, hundreds of whispering voices all merging and gathering (whispering), filling the entire chamber. For a moment. Your brain begins to get a little muddied from the sound, for just a moment. I'm going to need you to go ahead and-- Sylvia: One ball bearing. Game Master: Make a-- Sarah: Destroy them all. Game Master: Make a wisdom-saving throw for me, please. Sarah: A wisdom save? Borlan: We are straight up in-- Game Master: Yes. Borlan: The tomb of some god right now. Elias: Pull your legs up. Sarah: (laughs) Natural 20. Game Master: Okay. Borlan: Thank god. thank you. The influence of the whispers on your mind, you push it away and you back away from the edge and the rest of you can hear them faintly. Lyra: Did I, yeah, because I'm-- Game Master: You definitely pick up on it. It started, with your natural 20, it started locally to where that ball bearing would have dropped and then echoed and expanded to fill the entire chasm for a moment before they slowly died down. Lyra: Please don't aggravate the ghosts. Sarah: Didn't know there'd be a pit of ghosts. Lyra: Let's just-- Borlan: This is a fucking tomb, you guys. Game Master: Like it was strange. Elements of it sounded like language, but none that you knew. Some of it sounded like babble, some of it sounded like, just like light screams and moans all merging. It was maddening, terrifying, sourceless. Lyra: Couldn't make anything out? Game Master: Not without any light, not at this distance. Lyra: I mean... Game Master: Oh, no. Lyra: All right. Sarah: I don't think we want them in our heads. Marcus: Yikes. Borlan: I don't like this. Derek: Tenish minutes later (hums) and there is a grayish-black dome in the rock and Sylvia just-- he doesn't fall asleep, but just lies back on his back and rests. Sylvia: Do we want to make it a long one? Lyra and Borlan: We can't. Sylvia: Why? Borlan: I don't know. Lyra: I feel like things are-- Derek: Sylvia is exhausted. Borlan: I could cast Locate on the guy if we're going to do a long rest. Marcus: Sure. Borlan: And just. Sylvia: This might be the most chill we get before wherever the bridge into darkness goes. Borlan: We need to make sure that those voices can't get us in the hut, though, because they aren't going to stop us from wandering outside of it. Sarah: No. Derek: Just respect the dead. Sylvia: Yeah. We'll keep watch and watch means things from coming in and things from going out. Borlan: Maybe we like tie all of us together. Marcus: Okay. Borlan: If we go to sleep. Lyra: That's not watching
