Input: we had a strap jet fuel that it burns you know what I mean but like the Wright brothers didn't have that right they they steam I think no is it steam oh no diesel no it was diesel sorry of course it was pretty in diesel engine yeah Kai look it up yeah it's probably a diesel engine right we're getting to the point of trash days where we're just kind of like spewing over the bed because it was like it was like they had the a compact and lightweight enough system that could that made it so you could power that right and all you need to do is make an aerofoil which is basically just something that just catches the most drag yeah um and then you just power It Forward all right all right yeah you know small explosions all the way yeah Humanity since the beginning boom that's that's all that's all we love everything they saw an explosion they saw momentum and they went what if we just attached that to something you that's how you want to make a lightweight system now it is getting closer and closer in a sense to either either the the amount of power we can generate or the size of electricity needs to improve a lot or you kind of get it closer to I suppose you can get it's like a bird wing and you can maybe get it more perfect in the sense there yeah but it depends what you want to do because Birds can't like uh Birds a lot of the time coach flap in place right like if you want a drone yeah stop birds don't do that I mean besides but hummingbirds do yeah right but then how do you how do you like generate that yeah certain dragonflies and stuff yeah dragonflies are the best flyers in like nature holy like I sometimes I see a dragonfly fly maneuver and it's insane yeah yeah you just reminded me like I mean they made mid-flight yeah I'm like that's hippie like it literally now that I think about I remember as a kid thinking like dragonfly flights patterns look like they're pre-programmed yeah yeah he literally like that's incredible yeah I guess yeah depending on what kind of plane you'd want to make but what it would need to do you'd pick the aerofoil right on the face I guess you could there's nothing saying you couldn't make a dragonfly-esque system I think you just need it all to be balanced and you need a way to power that much force yeah also that'd be a lot of G's I think if you're whipping around that fast yeah yeah don't don't dragonflies go through like the the most IG force or something animals going from static to room yeah yeah that's a lot that's a lot yeah no we're not good at that well obviously because we've got legs and we're heavy dragonflies are light of yeah but also often a lot of times like birds and like like um a lot of the times their skulls kind of evolve to do certain things like um woodpeckers they just wrap their tongue around their brain to absorb it you know that are you serious your tongue wraps around their brain that's right I'm trying to Google this that's crazy if you like got

Output:
- The speakers discussed the Wright brothers' use of diesel engines versus steam and the challenges of creating compact, lightweight power systems.
- They explored the concept of aerofoils and how humanity historically utilized small explosions to generate momentum for flight.
- The conversation shifted to comparing human flight capabilities with birds and insects, specifically highlighting the superior maneuvering of dragonflies and hummingbirds.
- One speaker recalled childhood observations about dragonfly flight patterns looking pre-programmed, while the other noted the immense G-forces involved in such rapid movements.
- The group analyzed biological adaptations for shock absorption, citing woodpeckers wrapping their tongues around their brains as a prime example.
- They concluded that while humans are heavy and struggle with rapid acceleration, insects like dragonflies are incredibly light and capable of feats animals cannot match.

Input: he's just standing there mumbling for a good 10, 20 seconds. And I'm freaking out because I'm like, uh, what do I do? Do I go and wake my little brother up? Do I go tell my parents? Because I don't know what he's going to do. So I was just watching him, making sure. Bare in mind, I was 14, 15. I didn't know what the fuck was going on. And so he's standing there in the middle of this living room and then just slowly starts walking towards the T.V. watching. And then walking back to where he was. And then he walks to the T.V, and there's my video games all there in one of those old, 2000's metal racks where you just slide it in.

Will and my father were cut down and something about the nature of their. Was it the same spell that I used and Silas used to bring them back that failed? Or was it a different magic? I don't know what you do, Letters. Was it quickly after their? Yeah. Pretty soon after. And it didn't work? No. Okay. But I didn't see Thull on the ground that day. I saw others like the shadows she had with her. Masked up, dark clad. Well, yeah. I mean, we just keep trying. Do you want to do something now, here? Yeah. I don't want to wait. Let's drop the problem off. See what kind of noise it makes. Find ourselves somewhere to sleep tonight. Can we keep Sarah's body here? There are fewer safer places in the city for her to be. Thank you. Of course. Before we do, I know it's uncomfortable, but this is the best road to getting her back. I'm sure she has stuff that we could use. We'll give it back to her later. It will be funny. She'll laugh. Yeah. Yep. Take it. Take it. I mean, I don't like any of this, but I'll take her Pearl of Power. End conversation. All righty. I'll grab. I will take that vial from around her neck. Okay. I'll grab the immovable rod. Okay. Is there anything else worthwhile other than her personal effects? I think that's all. Unless specified. That's what Borlan. Yeah, okay. That's the list. Okay. If anything else comes up, we can discuss as a team. Has anyone scooped up Pâté? Oh yeah, I have Pâté. Oh yeah. I didn't take Sashimi, but I took Pâté. It's like the OG. Yeah. Well, if indeed Otohan is after you, do we know to what lengths she will go and will the Call? I think great lengths. Yeah. What is it they're seeking? Gwen. Not necessarily. Well, maybe not just you, but certainly you. It almost feels like they're trying to. They're trying to open a gateway or a cage or something. We looked at Ruidus through a very strong telescope and saw what looked like a magical net surrounding it, either keeping something out or keeping something in. Lyra and I both saw on the surface, a city. Hm. Whatever it is, they are strongly connected to its power. It feels like they're trying to release it. The Call is. Yes. Thull is. Thull. As well as some powerful figures. Someone from the Cerberus Assembly in Wildemount. You watch the eyes of your orcish patron open with a look of realization and the first real bit of fear glimmering at the back of his stare, as he sinks into the chair. Oh yeah. They're smuggling that green stuff. Show him. Really? Sure. All of it? Just show him. Fuck. Don't give it to him. I dive into the hole. I grab one of the vials and I grab our case.

Input: inside, the poison, however, is still holding. Oh no. Can we use some medicine? Yes. I've got one kit left so I'm going to use my medicinal herbs on you, Clara, to get rid of the poison. Fuck yeah. Please. Where are you at, Dorian? Hit point-wise? I'm very low, hit point-wise. I'm at 12 out of 31. You want a health potion? Uh, watching. Oh, I can use my spells to heal us right now. I think you should save-- The only thing I have that can get rid of poisoning is Lesser Restoration, which I can cast on Kaelen right now. I can get rid of the poison on you. Wait, but the poison will go away eventually, right? Won't it? Not before the next fight, I don't think. You don't know. It's probably-- In your herbalism kit, you can make antitoxin if you're in a space-- No, it's not an herbalism kit, it's medicinal herbs, which you specifically told me it removes poison on action. Yes. It's a medicine check to apply it properly, but you can do that. Oh, okay. Make that check! Oh no. What's your medicine check? I'm proficient-- oh, that's good. A lot. Yeah, it's a 23. Yeah. As you guys back into the corner, you manage to go ahead and apply the medicinal herbs, which are used now, but the poison does manage to fade from your body, Clara. You are no longer poisoned. You're using Lesser Restoration on Kaelen, you said? Up to you. Yeah, I'll do it. Okay, the poison is removed, which is probably a good thing because it lasts until cured. Oh wow! Technically, it's a disease that causes poison, but because the nature of the herbs that you've utilized in this space, it fits in a similar realm because it's a bacterial infection that kicks in. I'll say because you got to it quickly enough and you rolled so high, you were able to do that. Because you got stabbed with poop-teeth. Kind of, yeah. Dorian, what are you at, right now? I'm at 12 hit points. You need to heal! I give her a potion of healing. Kaelen, you need healing too! No it's fine! Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure. I won't deny it, but I also won't request it. Yeah, fucking take it. Okay. It's what? How many d4? 2d4? 2d4 plus two for a healing potion. As you guys are in the process of doing this, you hear the voice shouting out-- not even realizing the other group that walks outside. "The Mountain Makers from Grimgolir!" The dwarf and gnome troupe makes their way out into the field. As the crowd cheers, the emcee vanishes, and you see an opposing side open once again. Immediately bursting through, you see a large, nine-foot troll with elongated arms and legs start rushing into the fray, screaming this high-pitched yelp. As it runs, you can see its skin, as opposed to the deep forest green that you've read about or seen in trolls in your experiences, this looks like a dull teal-blue color. You watch as the dwarves, all of a sudden, rush in. The gnomes begin casting spells, and this assault goes back and forth. You see with each strike this cold mist off the claws

Input: No, no, no, no, no! She brought Bells Hells. Uh, oh, those chucklefucks? It put us a bit on edge. You know exactly why, and I'm not going to apologize for it. You're always on edge, Elias. Yes, because I'm right all the time. Watching. Let's go! We're going to lose him. They were moving slowly, I assure it. Why do you have to speak in absolutions? You don't know! You didn't put your-- I'm already walking. Time's running out, Voice of the Tempest! I'd get moving! You're so ornery! thank you. As you step out of Castle Whitestone, back towards the core, and the base of where the Sun Tree is, the rest of the Pale Guard have come out to give a full on escort and salute to the exit of the castle, unaware of, necessarily, the business, but also aware that this sort of a gathering does likely come with some sort of importance, let alone the current events in the world and the various multicolored tethers of tangled leylines that still pull tensely taut across the skyscape, even visible in here these bright morning hours. As you begin to trek down, the city is now much more alive, awake, and vibrant, and folks are gathered outside to see off whatever this hubbub, this unique gathering of figures, as well as the Lord and the Lady of Castle Whitestone stepping out in attire not ceremonial, but for war. People whispering and looking over, people holding up their kids on their shoulders so they can see the lords and ladies and their companions walking through. You know, for some people this morning is very well a moment they're going to talk about for years around the table. I see everyone gathering, and we're in such a hurry. I just Druidcraft a bunch of flowers and greenery, I just Druidcraft a bunch of flowers and greenery, and maybe some lilies and nightshades, and maybe some lilies and nightshades, and just a bunch of things in a way to try and be ceremonial very quickly. Snow drops! Snow drops. Thank you. As everyone claps a bit or gives a nod and smile, there's a quick huffing sound. You watch as Vesper and Gwendolyn run up holding hand-in-hand with two other, just past their late teens, twin brother and sister Wolfe and Leona, rushing up behind them, and already by the tree, you see young, late teens Sarah II leaning back as all the kids, all the various de Rolo children have gathered up. Gwendolyn is like, "Mother! Mother, I got them." Vesper is like, "Yes, we got them together, didn't we? "As well as the baked goods you requested, Mother." Good job. We might be gone a while. Vaxy, yes, take care of everyone. Indeed. You all heard that. Listen to your sister. Cedric in the back goes, "I guess we'll listen to her maybe." Thank you, Vaxy. If she's nice to us. You listen to her regardless. This is serious. Of course, Mother. Grab the sides of his face and-- I love you. Wolfe, Leona, take care of each other. Wolfe and Leona, they're, of all the children, the ones who are really registering the underlying gravity of this. They both approach together,

Input: Disdain. That was pretty stupid, but I respect it. Passing by the crowd as you go, weaving between the clusters of individuals that call this place home, keeping your hands close to your pockets and coin purses as you do, you catch an interesting visual, Fiona, of one individual who is currently moving forward on a wagon with all sorts of wares in the back of it, stacked up. As opposed to a horse or oxen or some other beast of burden, there is an odd, beetle-like automaton with eight legs, more arachnid-like that has three different unmatching pairs of legs that currently skitter and pull forward, leaving an odd scraping formation in the dust and sand behind it pulling forward. In a lot of your journeys, you don't see a lot of out in the open automatons, let alone those that are quirky in their presentation, but it does give you a sense of home, if anything was, being surrounded by other such oddities as you find yourself to be. But. I'll say hi and just see if they have communication skills. Okay. Hello there, hi? Smiley day to you? Hello? The person at the back of the cart, kind of, "Smiley day." Edward Scissorhands. Okay. It's so curious how they're so different. I agree. Do they not have souls? No, neither do I. gasps This is question of debate-- I don't-- in the group. I don't know if I agree with that. Well, I'm like them. And you're like you. No, you're not like them, Silas. Well, I'm just a bit more sophisticated in my design. You have thoughts! I hear them. I have a complicated set of inputs and outputs that have been designed into me. I think we can agree that you're a rarity. Silas. Hmm? Have you ever thought maybe you're like me? You were once alive? Ooh. Whoa. Whoa. If I had a mind, it would be blown right now. laughter That could be true. What if I'm a shell, a husk of an old person or something? I don't know, but now you're you and that's pretty cool. Exactly. I feel like it probably doesn't matter so much about what the shell is like, so much as what's in... Wherever... Pokey poke. I don't know, yeah. You have a heart? No. I don't know. Okay. Aren't you curious about you? You're all forgetful about yourself as well. No, I've got you guys and I've got my stuff and I have a couple of quests on the docket. Two? More than one? Yeah, two. The one with us and then the one for yourself. If there were three it would be a few. So I feel like it doesn't really matter as much all the time. I think I let my past inform who I am, but I don't get too hung up about it. That's very mature and healthy of you. I must admit that I don't share that confidence. I would really like to know what I am and where I came from. What do you want to be? Well, I'd like to be like you all. I'd like to be able to smell and taste and dream. watching

Output:

- Erika responded to the existential discussion by affirming that her identity was defined by her companions and current quests rather than her past.


Input: fucking youths of today don't even know what a VCR is. You never had to like stick the pencil in to like rewind the tape. thank you. Let me tell you about LimeWire and Napster. uh, let me tell you the war stories, of how to download Lincoln Park Of Webster. watching. Had to download Lincoln park and got fucking Bill Clinton for the 50 millionth time. The question though, when did you guys get your first cell phones or smartphones? I entered high school. High school? 13. Yeah, I was 13. um. My parents didn't want me to get bullied. They really didn't want to get me a smartphone, but everyone else had a smartphone. What was your first phone? It was essentially a Nokia brick. Yeah, mine was a Nokia flip phone. I couldn't even get a Nokia. I always got like a knockoff. Well, this was at the time when the Sony, like the Walkman phone had come out. And so that was like the shit. And there's like the flip Sony, and that was like the big boy. Now for us in Australia was the Motorola razor. Oh, those ones. Yeah. All the cool kids had the Motorola razor. Yeah, yeah. This is back when you couldn't play video on your phone. So that was the phone I had. Was just texting basically. And it was supposed to be for emergencies only, but we didn't text each other because it was, it was 10 pence to send a text. Yeah that's right. The texting plans? All you can text? No. They didn't exist back in the day. Texting your friend was like an urgent thing. But at that time as well, when you had those phones, MSN messenger was a thing as well. So you'd never text because you would just go. You just got home and message on MSN. The only time I think I ever texted someone was when like we said we're gonna meet at a place and I was there and I couldn't find them. And I was like, "Where are you?" 'Cause calling was too expensive' Yeah. 'Cause calling was like 10, 20 Pence a minute. Yeah, exactly. If you press the call button, you're just like, "This is a fucking emergency." This is an investment. Like my God, someone must be fucking dying next to me for you to be making a call, man. What is going on? I got the phone under the condition of emergencies only. Yeah. What about you? I don't remember exactly. Probably the same age. I was just curious. Did you go straight to iPhone or did you get like the flip phone? No, I had a flip phone, but it was like non flip phone. And then I got the flip. Like the bricks right? Yeah, I think it was a brick. Like with the little antenna on top. No. The old Nokia's have that little like knob at the top, which was like the antenna. Oh yeah, that one. That one yeah. Were you a gamer growing up? Wait, what? Yeah, obviously she played "MapleStory." I've played other games than "MapleStory." What other games did you play? "Dory, Flyff for Fun." What the hell was that? What

This one shifts from this side here to move in, and is going to-- Why did I cast Earthbind? -- take another round of two strikes on you. Because you are within melee of one of the other forms, it gets advantage on the attack against you. That's going to be 17 to hit. Does not hit. Does not hit you. But when they take a melee attack, they take a d8 of fire damage. Hit with or just attacks you? Whenever a creature hits you, sorry. Okay, second one against you, that is going to be a 24 to hit. That hits. So that does hit you. So roll any fire damage as that (whooshes) flashes against it. Two! Two points of fire damage, all right, on the main shadow Rowan. So because it's now directly you are within melee with one of the other ones, it gets its Voice Thief Sneak Attack on you. So that means it's going to do, from a damage standpoint. That's going to be six points of cold damage-- Its Voice what? -- six points of cold damage, plus two points of psychic damage. Six points of, say one more time, I'm sorry. Six points of cold damage-- And six points of-- -- two points of psychic. Oh, two points. Plus an additional 19 points of sneak attack damage to you. (groaning) You okay? Mm-hmm.

I think because I have an exhaustion, I get-- It's at disadvantage. I get at disadvantage, okay. You do. Yeah. Natural one. Natural one. (screams) Oh no. (screams) Okay, so. The first strike misses.

That's one of the things that-- It's possible. You didn't have a lot of dealings with the Call. thank you. No, really not. uh In fact, you avoided most of the Crawlers gangs from the time you were here. watching. You just know where it is, and you know that is the base of operations for the Paragon's Call. When I say fortress, it's not like a castle. No. It's a well-defended, three-story stone building with defensible battlements in case there is any recurring, as history has proven, scuffles with other Crawler gangs and other individuals that are seeking entry. Gotcha, gotcha. But-- Let's go. As you muster the courage to pursue this new threat in where Treshi has seemingly clamped down for his own personal protection, as well as the other unraveling threads of interesting serendipity and curiosity, we're going to go ahead and take a break.

I know Elias and Tim got a beefy doc for Bassuras. Oh, we love a beefy doc. Love those beefy docs! Yeah. Beefy docs. (everyone laughs) Girl talk, do you love a beefy doc? Yes! Fuck your show! (everyone laughs) Fuck your show. Fuck your mind. Time to go! Oh, the Running Man, my only weakness. Where is Omar? He's been asleep on my feet for the last 10 minutes. Oh my god! Yes! (indistinct) (canister rattles) I didn't really fart. It was the chair. Ugh! Stop it! Stop it, both of you! Stop it! (trio laughs) I didn't fart! The amount of times that I'll be thinking of an NPC in the upcoming part of the campaign and start in my head imagining how their physicality would be, and that stuff, how they might sound, and I'll start improvising dialogue and finding their voice, and then suddenly Cedric's like, you talking to yourself? I'll be off in the hallway, I'll be like of course, follow me down this path. Yeah, no, I was just gonna put my shoes on and I had an idea. You heard nothing! (group laughs) If you're a Dungeon Master and you need some voices time, just don't do it in the bathroom because other people in the apartment sometimes need to get in there and if you're in there doing voices time, then they might remind you that that's not the right place for that and they might be brusque not the right place for that, even though it's very quiet and kind of meditative in there. And some good acoustics too. Some great acoustics. Yo, mine's bathtub. I get in the bathtub and I get weird in there. Yeah! This is the real shit! We're finally saying it! All righty. It's a Lush bath bomb and you're just

Well, I know, I just-- It's my go-to, I guess. I just, sometimes I just feel really comfortable in an animal shape and... it's just fun. To her credit, it worked like a charm. Well, I don't know if it worked like a charm because I don't know if I necessarily figured anything out, but I did see a big room. There were three guys in there. One of them was the one that Gwen fully beat up. I mean, it was close. I'll give him that. It was very close. It was just close on his end. He was in there. There was another one. There was something on the table with, you know, things holding down the corners. I saw all different types of rooms with lots of beds and foot lockers and whew. I didn't really get a lot of information. That sounds like a total win and you came out unscathed. Yeah. They took me out. They just were like, "Ooh, it's a rodent, "so just put you right out." Yeah, but that might not happen every time. I know. I know. I know. I think I've definitely learned my lesson. uh laughter. Look at her face. It was a smile. Poker face. I'm sorry. My poker face. My my my. My poker face. I will try. I will try. I'm very sorry if it stressed you out. Ma ma ma ha ha. Very brave of you. Well, well, thank you. That's so nice of you to say.

Okay, roll three attacks. First is super low. It is, hold, hold, hold. Holding. Hold, it is 13. 13 is fine. Roll again. The second is higher than that. 16. Oh, lower. The last one is 11. 11, okay, so roll damage for the first two. Okay, okay. I don't have this prepared. It's an item, so. I believe it's two d6 fire damage for-- Yeah, I do, too. I just wanted to make sure. So the first two. What if he was letting us know because the room is so hot. What if it's something fire resistant? 12. Okay, so (poofs). Both the bolts strike through the center and left side. It goes up in flames and begins to burn. The right side hits, impacts, but doesn't seem to catch. Back up, back up, back up, back up. As the flames begin to curl up, you hear (screeching) this loud, discordant gathering of tiny squeaks and squeals and you watch as some tiny spiders, when I say tiny, you know, six inches across, come out and fall and burn. Some come out on fire and continue to skitter in your direction. Some come out untouched. There is hundreds. Nuke that fucking thing! I start pulling out bat guano and sulfur and if I have the time, Old English. Yeah! They're scattering out in all directions. They're escaping the flames. They seem to be-- I will put in front of them. Yes. You guys watch as Sylvia throws the one, backs up, backs up. Throws the second sphere and (explosion) the fire almost back drafts for about 10 feet out of the interior chamber. The heat catches you. The room's already warm, but now this is a flash heat that singes you by proximity. You watch as dozens and dozens of flaming spider corpses are jettisoned out of the explosion in pieces and, for a moment, you watch as the entire chamber is rained with tiny bits of cinder across the ground. But-- Food fight! They seem to be fairly resistant to flame, but not immune and that was enough to finish off the entirety of that chamber. Tugging on the glove. Should have done that in the first place. Let's go. Let's take a quick, I'm going to take a quick-- Quick look. --peek in there. I'm going to hop up with my Light and take a quick look. Okay. It is a blackened small rock alcove where there is current still burning bits of web, egg sac, and dozens of exploded bits of spider. Nothing else. Nothing else in there?

Should we get in the bubble? Elias: It's okay, it's fine, take cover. Sylvia: I've got a pearl on my head and I'm starting to cast Fortune's Favor.

I'm going to get down and kneel down on the deck of whatever boat we're on right now. uh Game Master: Okay. Borlan: And I'm going to try use Divine Intervention. uh Game Master: Okay. Borlan: To get the Traveler's attention here. uh Game Master: What are you trying to do? What are you asking for with the Divine Intervention? Borlan: I'm going to ask the Traveler to help us get Vokodo out of his-- Derek: To fuck him. (laughter) Borlan: Get him here. uh Game Master: All right. Go ahead and make a roll. Borlan: Aw, I really shouldn't have said fuck him when I was talking to the dragon turtle. I really feel like I messed everything up with-- Derek: You said fuck him! (laughter) Sylvia: (as Nadia) We are going to peg Vokodo. uh Derek: (laughs) Borlan: (bitter laugh) Derek: Oh, what? Say yes. Borlan: Oh, no, no. It's too high, it's too high. It's close, but it's too high. uh Game Master: Curses. As you reach out, the Traveler through your head, you hear the voice go, "Really'd love to help. "Currently dealing with "some really shitty travel buddies at the moment. "So sorry, but soon! (growls)" You can hear the frustration in his voice, not with you, but he seems to be preoccupied.

Input: any further planning you want to do, you guys can discuss or set up for the night. The evening's yours, so... uh... Did we ever take a short rest? Not since you left the Ruin. Let's do that. I don't believe so. Short rest? Yeah, I would like to. I don't think we did. We might have done it... No, I think we did it right after when we were at the Ruins, we did it. When we were searching everything. That's correct, that's correct. We did, yeah. Okay. Well, what other preparations do we need? Do we need to go into the cavern and sort of get a lay of the land, figure out where we're going to be? Anything changed from the last time that we were here that we can see? Make a perception or investigation check. Investigation, please. Ooh, 25. 25. Glancing about the sands, you can see the tracks left behind. You can see the indentations where you guys spent the evening, though it looks like a bit of the seaside wind has blown some elements of sand to soften the impact of where bodies lied. But nothing seems to be disturbed beyond the tracks you left when you made your way. Seems safe. Oh, man. This could be where you set up the Welcome to Traveler Con. Oh, yeah! Be a nice beach. That'd be really nice. Show up and give everybody a badge. I just realized, you guys. I can't control the water to get back into the cavern. I can. Oh, okay. Good. Uh, thank you. All right. You guys heading back to the falls, then? I think we should, yeah. I think we should bed down in there for the night, because if he's with us at all times, it will seem like perhaps we are just finding shelter. He knows that we're doing something, but it would seem... I don't think we should monkey with any boats, as Elara said. Should just look like we're sheltering for the night, and then maybe thinking of coming to give him an offering or something. If we go back in there, Elara, will you be able to control your urges to swim down and through? No. All right. No, I'll be fine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just get ready. Just knock him out? Not kill, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Do what you have to do. Just a 'Go to sleep.' That'd be sufficient. 'Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep.' We could tie a rope around each other, you know. Oh, yeah! So we're sleeping, if one goes, we all go. That tends to go well. Yeah! When has that never not worked out? All right, so you guys wade your way back out into the open lagoon that leads towards the Heaven Falls. Approaching, as you get closer and closer to it, the water itself still firing up with the same intensity that it previously has. Yep, yep. You have use of Control Water, you said? I do.

That's it, that's all I can do. That's it? That's bonus action, action, movement, so-- Incredible. While you're here, give me, I love the idea of failing forward, so you don't manage to grapple her, but you get in close and you're like incredibly tight with whatever magic fuckery is happening with Opal right now. You can hear in your mind the difference between what she is thinking and saying to you versus her actions. So I want you to tell me a roll you think Dorian would make to try to figure out what's going on. Oh my god. Give you a little intel. Yeah, not his top tier. Are you not curious? If you're not fundamentally curious, we can move on. I am very curious about what's happening right now-- but I got nothing good. Arcana, investigation, perception, insight. It's for you. All doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo. It's for you. I mean, what I would do is try to convince her to tell me something, persuasion, maybe. But is that too active? Go ahead, no, no, I like that. Okay. Make

Input:
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. No, wait.
Kreviris.
Razora.
No, what's the town called?
Razora.
Well, this one is--
Razora.
Kreviris?
Kreviris! Taste of Kreviris.
Kreviris is the bad town.
The bad town, okay.
Taste of (mumbling).
Okay, okay, okay.
There are a lot of good people in Kreviris. There's just--
I thought it was all Imperium controlled.
It is, but just because the Imperium controls it, doesn't mean everyone they control is--
It's got to be burned to the ground.
By the way, if we make it there--
Sounds like home.
I hate to pepper you with more questions. Two more. If we make it there, is there anyone that we should check in with or seek shelter with? Anyone who's an ally of yours who lives in that area?
Outside of Zhesh.
Zhesh is the only individual I trust.
Okay.
Because I know their affiliation. Anyone else I've encountered around here might be very aligned.
Got it. Second question, unrelated. Can we sleep somewhere here?
Here?
Near?
We have four more hours left of travel. I feel like we should take advantage of it.
I got a room--
I do, too.
I think we can make it work.
We're only going to get halfway there.
Even so, that's halfway.
It's still days.
Then we don't know where to go and we're in the middle of nowhere!
There's a road.
Can you keep your voice down? You're shouting.
I'm sorry. I only have two volume settings.
I'm having trouble controlling the volume of my voice!
Line in an aux.
If we go on foot or with the caravan, it's a couple of days of travel. If we at least use the cloud form, we can get there so much faster and then it just takes an extra day.
We can do it by tomorrow.
Yeah.
But we'll be--
But then we won't know.
We won't know where it is, and we'll be on a road with no beasts of burden or anything.
I have a very strong idea of where it is.
Right, but I think I'm kind of with Elias here.
Also, I'm out of spells.
Because I thought Imperial guards and everything are escorting everyone everywhere, so I thought that was the pro to go with Zeth.
Then wouldn't we miss the caravan?
Zhesh.
Wouldn't we miss the caravan if we leave?
Yeah.
Isn't it coming through here?
We would.
Well, all right, hang on.
All right, all right.
Hang on, we have--
If we were to stay here, would there be a place to sleep?
It probably wouldn't be the most comfortable, but I think there could be--

Input: (laughs) You feel that grab around your throat, and you look to your friend, and you see Opal, a crown, and then a pink crown below it, eyes dripping black, a set of arms reaching out, a second set of arms reaching down. Make your attacks. Real quick, what does Hexblade's Curse do? Once per short rest, thank you, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. Curse for one minute, plus five to damage rolls. Critical hit on 19 or 20 and I regain 18 hit points if you die. Which you won't. (laughs) Which you won't. The night is young. (thinking tune) I add a 10 to each. So, does 21 hit? It does. Does 22 hit? It does. Does 13 hit? It does not. Okay, thank god. All right, so now I roll, uh... This is already the most fun I've ever had. Reluctant PvP. She'll get into it. Don't you worry. This isn't so bad. Oh, sorry. 1d4. I rolled d10s. My bad. Yeah, two d10s. What are you doing? I don't know. d4. I got them. This is my bad ones, too. So this is my bad d4s. Why are you rolling d4s? Because it's d4! 1d10. You're right. Yeah. It's all good. You got this. I'm looking at the wrong thing! Hey, Aimee, look at me. I'm looking at my vicious whip! Here's what's going to happen. You're going to roll 2d10s. I got it. For the two that hit, and you're going to add plus 10 to both of them. Okay. So, 20-- No, 11, and 20. So 31. 31. Oof. 31 damage. 31 damage. It's all right. (nervous moan) With that, you see your friend, you feel a hand around your throat, holding you in place. You are a monk. You move through the world, you bend around nature and keep yourself lithe and agile. You are held in place by your friend, as two dark bolts of energy land center mass in your stomach and there is nothing but to take it. You feel that sense of nausea get chased quickly by two gut punches. Force damage, yes, but betrayal. And I need all of you to roll initiative. Quick question. Yeah, of course! Okay. This was a surprise, so I wouldn't have a reaction. No. No. This was my mean little-- I think once you feel it, you hear the telepathic, "No, I'm so sorry!" That means it doesn't count, right? It doesn't count. Yeah. God, I'm sweating. I rolled a natural 20, but I don't think that helps. My ass is sweating. Yeah, it does. Oh, it does? Yeah, add your dex. So 27. Fuck yeah. 27, baby. Natty 20. Nice. Let's go. Anyone above 25? I went 27, yeah. 27 for Morrighan. Woo-hoo. All right. 25 to 20? 23. 24. Okay. Wow. Okay, gamers. And Fy'ra Rai, 23. 19 to 15? Oh no! Oh! Buddy.

Gwen: Hey Kaelen, check it out, I got one too. It's a really shitty prize, though. Gideon: What does it-- did you look at it yet?

Gwen: It says-- DM: As you read it-- thank you (laughter) Marcus: No, I think this is for Gwen. Aria: Do that, speak at the same time-- hear ye hear ye. DM: No. It speaks of the Righteous Brand and talks about all of the wonderful possibilities for glory. It's housing and gear provided, it's working in a good teamwork environment to protect the people of the Empire. It has opportunities to rise through the ranks and to become-- Gwen: It's propaganda. DM: It talks about-- it pays one gold a day at start, with possibility of raises from there. The training is in Bladegarden and after a period of training there, it's three years minimum service in the military and then you can decide to stay or not. It goes into a small print and says like "desertion is illegal and brings imprisonment and fines." Gwen: Oh. Derek: The ushe. Fiona: A gold a day, that's pretty good. Right? Is it? Gwen: I mean, if you're only training, they send you to the frontline and it's questionable. Elara: I think I've literally made 200 gold since we've met, minimum, at this point. It's been like a week. Fiona: I mean, we've been making a good amount. Gideon: Arthur, do you want mine? Just in case, if you want to join? Marcus: I'll take it. DM: As you guys are having this conversation there's a voice from the side that goes, "That was "quite an amazing display, if I say so myself." As you turn and look you see there's a gentleman there who's tall, a little over six foot, very-- a gentleman, not the Gentleman. Fiona: No, that's not what I was going for, I wanted to know what he looks like. DM: He's a very strong looking human male with ruddy, tan skin and long, jet black hair that's braided in a single thick braid that goes past his waist in the back. He's dressed in partial scalemail across the 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 douche." Gideon: I could tell. DM: "What's your purpose here? Are you looking for work?" Gideon Me or--? DM: "Yes, you."

And some good acoustics too. Some great acoustics. Yo, mine's bathtub. I get in the bathtub and I get weird in there. Yeah! This is the real shit! We're finally saying it! All righty.

ISABELLA: She's the bone collector. HEIDI: This might be good for a stew or something. Cedric: You never know. Maeve: Do you keep your bones in your water bucket? HEIDI: No, I keep them in my ink hole. Maeve: What? ISABELLA: She keeps them in her ink hole! HEIDI: Thank you, Joanne. I'll show you. I lean over to show my ink hole to Nugget, the dog. ISABELLA: Show your ink hole. Cedric: Nugget, you have never seen an ink hole. ISABELLA: To the dog. Cedric: You are too young to have seen an ink hole before. HEIDI: What do you think? Maeve: It looks nice. HEIDI: I know it is, thank you. Never had any complaints. (laughter) (sneaky music) (typewriter clicking) (whimsical music) (stirring music) Hi critters, Elias Lyra here.

Input: keep it easy. Oh boy! Oh! Oh god! Come on! What are we adding to? A deception? Lordt! I feel like I don't want that choice. (groans) You roll for the better of the two characters. Nope. That's awful. Doesn't matter. That's awful! Holy fuck! What'd you get? I got-- With advantage? Yeah. That's a five. I rolled a one and a two. Julian got a 26. Braius is amazing.

Got it. Julian got a 26. 16. 16? Okay. 23. 23. Thank you for fixing that. Natural 20. Hey! Damn. All righty. 29. Man! A challenging go as you begin to dive and weave through these subterranean streets. You can hear the screeches of winged feskul above, skittering and leaping off and diving through from their various nests up in the top sides of this cavernous space, as well as the number of them that are currently being ridden by Reiloran soldiers, watching over the streets as you go. You hear, in many clusters of shifting neighborhood families of Reiloran, an odd silence since most conversation is done psychically between these folk. It's a slowly shuffling, quiet crowd of hundreds of people slowly moving through various thoroughfares and main pathways. There are a few moments where, as you are now moving not with the rest of the crowd, but moving parallel and away from the general flow of traffic, that you catch a few armored and visually decorated warriors of the Reiloran military catching an eye and beginning to follow for a bit before you eventually shake them off through the paths, and they lose interest. You do slowly come to the base of the fork that Gaz had described to you in your brief conversation. As you begin to step up the stairs towards its-- and it's a smallish tower. It is tall and the shape is very distinct with what you're able to point out, though it does get lost in the texture of the city if you're not looking for it directly, bundled up at the top, knees to the chest, you see a massive muscular Reiloran with a heavy cloth wrapped over their shoulders and head, stand up and you hear in your head, "Can I help you?" Silas: It's us. "Oh, thank goodness! I was starting to get a little out of sorts, feel uncomfortable, kind of exposed here." (laughs) Come on in. Opens the door and leads you inside. It is a very small, I would say, sparsely decorated chamber. There's this spiral staircase that leads up further into the tower. But as he closes the door behind, he's, "Oh, it's a lot of you. A little big crowd here you brought. Okay, so what's the dealio? What's the

Input: is here before you. What happens if somebody in one of the other groups dies or something when fighting the creatures? We have clerics on hand, and outside of extenuating circumstances, we've only had one true fatality in the past 20 years of running this festival, so you should be all right. Good to know. For the other groups. For the other groups, yes. At this point, there's a bit of commotion at the front entrance where you guys entered where you see a figure rush in, a young human man. He's sweating, longer blond hair past his ears. He's wearing a very bright gold and red outfit and is carrying a satchel over one shoulder as he rushes in and talks to somebody. He points over in the direction and heads up to where your group is. I'm terribly sorry. Page! The page looks up. What business have you from the Crown? Looking over his attire, the page goes, breathing heavily. I must speak with the Starosta immediately under order from King Bertrand Dwendal himself. Right. Come with me. I apologize. You'll have to give us just a moment. He turns around. Urgent matters. Enjoy some feasting while you're here. Him and the page walk maybe 20 feet from you to a corner where you can see there is a central couch there where a few figures are sitting, and they rush up. Kitty. Mm-hmm. All right, so you roll a stealth check for your cat. Not everyone's going to kick a cat into dust! Picks up Frumpkin and begins to bring Frumpkin away while the page begins gathering a breath and you now see a very well-dressed halfling with a curled mass of brown hair up top. It's graying and white on the sides, who sits up to meet with another important figure. Frumpkin has been pulled away. Where did my cat go? Your cat is being held by a servant. The last I see of Frumpkin is where? Being led back towards where you came, like taking the cat outside. Okay. I count to six and then I snap my fingers and pull him off of this plane. Okay. Servant's probably confused. What're you guys doing? I guess I'm going to do some jumping jacks to prepare for this. I have a leather thong or a string wrapped a couple of times-- I'm going to ignore Fiona Sylvia-- wrapped around my thigh and I will grip it in my hand and say a few arcane words and cast Mage Armor and out from the leather strap around my leg, a light shimmer goes up over the entire body for a split second and is gone. All right. I would much prefer if it was actually a leather thong that you had to put on in order to get the Mage Armor. You have not seen me with my clothes off yet. There are the groups that are talking and eating, there's the page currently engaging with the folks and the figure, there's a couple of servants passing around trays of food. What are the rest of you doing? You have retrieved your Frumpkin into your space. How do we prepare for this, Gwen? Well, I have no idea.

Input: us! "The Mighty Nein!" Oh, shit, it's us! The doors open again, and you guys are given a straight path into the center of this field. Yeah, bring it out! Oh my god! This was such a good day. Oh no! It's okay. I bumped it on the way over. Whoa. Did you print that? On a laser printer? No, this was from Mats by Mars, they do awesome stuff. Oh my god, that's so cool. You guys can place yourselves where you'd like. Where's the doors to the-- oh, they're over there. Got it. Any particular placement you'd like, as you guys have a moment to set yourselves up here. Would I have been able to cast a spell as we are pushed forward into all this mess? You would. Blur. Blur, all right. You have a Blur spell on right now. Put me behind that wall, yep. Where's the opening? Yeah, where did the monster come out of? You guys entered from this side over here, and you saw the monster enter from this space. Oh, okay. DM, I take that back. I'm not going to cast Blur. Sorry, my apologies. What do you want to do? I want to be there. Can I do that on the other one, opposite her? Sure. I'll back up into mine. As close to the center as is possible. I will be behind the pillar over there. Over here? No, this one over-- yes, thank you. That, I think, is the door where it opens. It could be anywhere, to be fair. Oh, right. There's multiple doors. The emcee disappears and vanishes into the back. You guys all take a quiet moment, looking around you in silence. As the audience gets quiet, still, you can see hundreds and hundreds of faces all staring, strangely formless when it's a cloud like this in all directions, little beams of light peeking through the clouds, hitting the sand and dirt on the ground before you. In that quiet, you hear (slamming). You glance around briefly and see not one, but two doors seem to have opened. Oh, good. Only one of them has a creature that emerges. It seems like they're playing mind games with you so you don't know where it's coming-- Or the other one's invisible. The door to this side suddenly swings open, and a beast begins to lumber out, chains detaching from manacles on two of its tethered, large tentacle-like arms. This grayish-brown mass, probably close to 15 feet in height, with a giant mouth filled with teeth and a large tongue that lolls off the side. Three tendrils reach off of it as these large, heavy feet pull it forward. Smell wafts around it of feces and rot. I need all of you to roll initiative, as this creature emerges right there. It's a big eating-poop pile! Aria knows what that is. Grody to the max! Yeah, gag me with a spoon, Mrs. Henderson! Gag me with a spoon! 25 to 20. Hang on! Oh, that moved it! It was a 19 plus one. 24! Whoa! 24, all right. 23. Clara, Molly! Anybody else? Okay, 20 to 15. 18. 18 for Derek. Oh, 16 here. All

Input: YouTube recommendations, we get to see you being a brutal murdur. - No, no. I also watch like food travel things like "Best Ever Food Review Show." - Oh yeah, I like that show. Yeah, that guy is cool. - I've been watching for like years. - Yeah, 'cause like I'm always wondering, why don't you make your own YouTube channel? - She does. - I do? - Yeah, I've seen your videos. - Aside from that one. 'Cause I've seen them. I've seen them as well. - That's like four years ago. - Are we allowed to talk about it? - About which one? The one with you like reviewing the mens body. - Okay. (all laughing) - You in the cosplay. - No, I wasn't wearing cosplay. I found this water bottle that was the shape of a mans body and it was a IQ character and then I was seeing, I saw that it was trending on Japanese Twitter, that if you peel off the wrapping, like the clothes, and then pour milk tea in, the naked body appears. So I was so fascinated that I wanted to show people that. - You are literally the epitome of the heavy breathing cat. Yeah. (laughing) Like whenever you see like a 2D male. - If you were at the after dark tour, it wasn't actually Nami, it was Meilyne. - What? (all laughing) - Meilyne was very excited about everything. - I thought it's a really interesting concept with you being such a big Google reviewer. If you just like, it's like the road to like the top 5% or something like that. - How long will it take? - Well, Meilyne has a Twitter now, so you can follow her on there, you can watch her updates, but I would love to see some Meilyne content. - GourmetMeilyne. - Main content? - Would you subscribe? - Yeah, of course. - Of course. - I reckon you'd be really good at just like food reviews. - That's 'cause I've never seen someone so brutal when it comes to reviewing things as you. My God like you have no chill. Some stuff I've heard you say is like, it's straight to the fucking heart. - I'll be like, "This was just the most excellent meal. I'm extremely satisfied. Meilyne what did you think?" And then Meilyne's like, "It tastes like dirt." - I don't want people to think anyone can run a restaurant. Like in America, a lot of the times, there's like these Japanese. - You have single-handedly deterred me from ever running my own restaurant. - Yeah. - Okay, come on, you can't compare Japanese restaurants to American or European restaurants. - I'm just saying people will move somewhere, and then whatever country they're from they think they can make the food of their country and represent the country with that restaurant. But it's not that simple. - No, of course not. - I know they're trying to make a living. Just thinking of, I don't know. - 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.
