00:00:30: So in the past few episodes, we have referenced The Lake Serpent.
00:00:32: you guys are fighting as Chessie.
00:00:35: And I realized that Chessies is a very specific thing to the Maryland Chesapeake Bay.
00:00:39: it's our Loch Ness monster As one might say and i remember reading That then.
00:00:44: We Have A lot more cryptids To Talk About Because Maryland Has Some Pretty Cool Ones.
00:00:49: Uh...Have You Guys Heard Of The Goat Man?
00:00:56: Yeah, the Goat Man is in Western Maryland.
00:00:57: It's literally just like he looks like Mr.
00:01:00: Tumnus if you was an asshole?
00:01:03: Like He's just a goat guy with a goat head and legs And it just has like an axe.
00:01:07: any attacks.
00:01:07: people
00:01:09: Do know where are you originally from?
00:01:13: or
00:01:14: I'm pretty sure Mark Just like dressed up as that one day and that's what came.
00:01:18: No
00:01:19: no because actually it's because i used to work around That area.
00:01:23: really okay yeah Originally, like one of the stories was that he escaped.
00:01:29: He was an experiment by a guy named Dr Fletcher and he escaped the Beltsville area because there is an ag center like agricultural Center.
00:01:39: okay
00:01:39: escape.
00:01:40: their man then became like this menace to society.
00:01:46: yeah kill killed things with axes.
00:01:48: you know all Go after people trying to get it on in their car and he would just go ahead try
00:01:54: do a tackle
00:01:56: stuff like that.
00:01:57: no premarital sex so many kills them.
00:02:00: That's really what gets him angry
00:02:04: is just like the Jason Vorreys of you know
00:02:07: Marilyn.
00:02:09: What man?
00:02:12: Are you guys fucking in there?
00:02:14: I got my axe
00:02:16: can't believe nobody invited me.
00:02:19: No, there we have a lot of cool cryptids.
00:02:22: There was.
00:02:24: I pulled up a map that it's like a map you can get on Etsy or just like a bunch of these but apparently they're something i didn't know about.
00:02:32: Up in the northeastern side is Aberdeen Wildman and then Pig Lady And there has to be love interest between two of them.
00:02:41: The Everdeen wild man think his big foot with clothes on and then pig lady sounds really mean.
00:02:48: It
00:02:48: just sounds like somebody was just being rude to somebody.
00:02:51: Yeah, most likely
00:02:52: but yeah She also attacks people with her axe.
00:02:55: and then I love cryptids So much and to know that there's so many in our area is awesome.
00:03:01: Dude
00:03:02: Mothman as the original goat?
00:03:03: Yes, yes, well there isn't a moth
00:03:06: Yep.
00:03:08: But no, yeah moth man is another really cool one And thats not too far from us West Virginia right?
00:03:14: I think west virginia.
00:03:15: Yeah,
00:03:16: I've been there a couple of times.
00:03:18: It's always fun to see an entire town dedicated to him at this
00:03:24: point And we're not too far from Jersey.
00:03:25: so you have the Jersey Devil.
00:03:27: Yes that is another one i was going to reference it.
00:03:29: yeah There are Jersey Devils and stuff like that.
00:03:32: but yeah The idea for Crypto is always like fun.
00:03:35: They come up with some crazy story That got passed down in the game or telephone Or whatever Distorted and then all of a sudden you got this like crazy story when it was just some guy walking at night Just some poor ugly dude.
00:03:51: You know there's one near Tim the snaggaster.
00:03:56: Yes, yeah
00:03:57: what?
00:03:57: Yeah.
00:03:57: That that's in Frederick County area.
00:04:00: yes I actually had this one here A giant half bird-and-half reptile creature that terrorized early settlers in the seventeen hundreds.
00:04:07: It would swoop down from the sky and grab pets livestock and children to eat.
00:04:12: There's a Snally Gaster Museum too.
00:04:14: What would
00:04:15: you do if, man?
00:04:16: What'd you actually came face-to-face with your favorite cryptid?
00:04:21: Probably die.
00:04:26: Pretty sure mothman will suck his soul out.
00:04:30: Mothman is.
00:04:31: he's an omen of doom.
00:04:34: He does not produce it and tries to warn people so that doesn't hurt.
00:04:40: Yeah, yeah he swoops down to you terrifyingly and goes oh bad
00:04:43: stuff.
00:04:45: I'm pretty sure i qualify as a cryptid in some form because whenever i walk through the woods people take blurry photos of me.
00:04:54: John if you put on clothes then
00:04:58: don't tell me what to do.
00:05:00: This is
00:05:02: America.
00:05:03: I'll be naked in the woods if i wanna.
00:05:06: And then there's other famous cryptid that Kent Island man.
00:05:09: he will come for you tonight and take all your zones.
00:05:15: That's just every kind island guy.
00:05:18: Every store dude stills.
00:05:20: Oh, ma'am but uh
00:05:27: yeah If I did Here's the thing is that like, there are a lot of people who swear they have seen these things.
00:05:34: And I'm like...I want to believe if something out here because it was cool but i am too skeptical for this.
00:05:41: sometimes and maybe theres a goat man probably not
00:05:47: Dude!
00:05:47: There were how many seasons of finding Bigfoot?
00:05:50: They still haven't found them yet?
00:05:52: Right!
00:05:52: You're gonna find a Squatch
00:05:54: Yeah!
00:05:55: Theres multiple seasons in a show called Finding Bigfoot.
00:05:58: Yes
00:05:59: Yeah.
00:06:00: And every episode, they're like oh yeah and after this commercial break see what they found?
00:06:04: They don't fucking find anything.
00:06:05: They
00:06:06: didn't find any thing yet.
00:06:07: man
00:06:07: it's just like there was
00:06:08: a hunger response on the
00:06:09: next episode.
00:06:09: There were
00:06:10: hungry people out there that money could go to work.
00:06:16: What funny
00:06:16: is really kill.
00:06:17: you can rag our reality TV squatch hunting when data centers being raised left or right.
00:06:23: hey leave The Bigfoot Hunters alone!
00:06:30: It just seems like a vacation.
00:06:31: They're just vacating it in the woods
00:06:33: all over the place.
00:06:44: Why don't we convince all the ticks that there's blood inside of the data centers?
00:06:51: See, now you're thinking Jake.
00:06:52: Now your thinkin' Fordy chess!
00:06:54: That's
00:06:55: a horrifying visual of like billions of these little things just go all over data centers.
00:07:01: We switch the valve from freshwater to blood and then bingo bango
00:07:05: There
00:07:06: it is.
00:07:06: we learn how do use CRISPR?
00:07:08: We genetically breed a bunch of ticks that specifically live in datacenters And then release
00:07:13: them
00:07:13: into all the datacenter.
00:07:14: So they are still there doing their purpose.
00:07:16: but if you work there You gonna get covered in ticks.
00:07:18: No
00:07:18: man, they'll get a fucking new age haircut develop a taste for cold brew coffee and become tech bros.
00:07:23: We can't do that.
00:07:26: Wait though this reminds me of something okay?
00:07:28: There are ants.
00:07:29: there's like fire ants I think in Texas but they specifically Live inside of like electrical boxes And they cause.
00:07:35: they caused hell everywhere They go because they always will occupy like electrical boxers and stuff Like them and no color shortages play in your house In your house.
00:07:43: we need to take that interned and do That with the ticks?
00:07:46: Yeah,
00:07:48: we'll leave it.
00:07:49: We don't even need to come on.
00:07:50: if I was gather them up and throw my dick
00:07:56: I Just love the mental image of us gathering millions of ticks.
00:07:59: he's yelling at him pointing out that electric box ants be
00:08:02: like
00:08:02: them.
00:08:03: Be like them
00:08:05: Instead of taking the electric box answer putting them in the data center.
00:08:09: We have to do this with the tics.
00:08:13: They'll be expecting the end, so have ant traps.
00:08:17: Yeah ticks famously ant proof or ant trap-proof.
00:08:22: I've never seen a tick die by an ant trap.
00:08:25: i'm just saying
00:08:28: that's A great point Tim.
00:08:29: all
00:08:30: I'm taking from this is that?
00:08:31: Don't think we'd Be very good revolutionaries?
00:08:35: What if we bread ticks release them onto a computer?
00:08:43: Oh, did you guys hear about the myth of ants eating thermal paste?
00:08:48: What?!
00:08:49: Yeah this person like found a ton of ants in his computer.
00:08:53: It is all.
00:08:54: its thermal pastes got eaten but no they just lived there because it was warm and he forgot to change his thermal paste.
00:09:00: so that's extra toasty in there!
00:09:01: Oh my god...
00:09:05: So stupid!
00:09:08: That's the dumbest story I've ever heard.
00:09:10: Not everyone
00:09:13: who builds PCs is smart job.
00:09:15: No,
00:09:15: no
00:09:17: there was one time I was installing a processor for our guy and oh, i ran out of thermal paste.
00:09:24: And so I was like Oh shoot dude!
00:09:25: I'm sorry...I don't have any thermal pastes....like..i just bought some...I think my cat knocked it under the dresser or something.
00:09:31: It's really stupid.
00:09:32: But then he said I will go tomorrow to get more and then I'll have computer for you.
00:09:36: Can we use regular paste?
00:09:41: No.
00:09:41: Just can't.
00:09:42: Just slap some Elmer's glue in there, it'll be good.
00:09:45: I'm
00:09:46: gonna grab the Colgate out of...the bathroom.
00:09:48: It
00:09:50: was like any paste will work!
00:09:52: Any kind.
00:09:53: Oh
00:09:53: god imagine that.
00:09:54: and you're like catch on fire at least?
00:09:57: Literally yeah like that would easily catch a fire.
00:10:02: but yeah Yeah That what-that was one of first times when i was doing some PC repair stuff.
00:10:12: I'm
00:10:12: sorry, dude.
00:10:13: All the ants ate my thermal paste.
00:10:18: If only
00:10:18: i had some regular paste around with the ants eat that too.
00:10:23: I was trying to teach these ticks how they eat their thermal paste but the ants didn't.
00:10:28: What
00:10:28: the fuck am I doing?
00:10:32: I don't have money because it keeps
00:10:34: eating ants.
00:10:36: Did you have any idea how expensive is a biobillion ticks?
00:10:45: In the lab that I'm some
00:10:46: shady guy brought him a truck.
00:10:51: Oh my gosh.
00:10:53: Well, hopefully these Lake serpents are not breeding well they are for sure.
00:10:59: You guys have no found this exit.
00:11:01: wait there
00:11:02: fucking get to go man
00:11:04: We gotta reach and they were just like.
00:11:05: what else are we gonna do?
00:11:11: We never get an audience like this.
00:11:14: They kill one of you and then they go, God I love you so much!
00:11:17: That's how to get it on?
00:11:19: They're doing it.
00:11:22: Oh my god its hot!
00:11:23: Its
00:11:23: a real voyeuristic sea surface.
00:11:30: I mean we were gonna let them live until i started f**king...
00:11:33: This is gross.
00:11:36: We are moving from existence.
00:11:39: So the Lake Serpents have done a number on you guys, but Kezra has some pretty interesting stuff with lifting the boat out of water.
00:11:50: Legit MVP shit!
00:11:52: Yeah
00:11:52: I was going to say that's good at move... Is it a good at Move
00:11:56: or did he just steal from SpongeBob?
00:11:58: Okay
00:12:00: We'll take the boat and move somewhere else
00:12:03: Even if we took him from Sponge Bob.
00:12:05: i'm gonna give me her point.
00:12:06: It is really cool idea.
00:12:10: Now at the end of last episode this lake serpent had torn into Luca Ambrose's summon and Mark you said that Ambros had a plan.
00:12:22: I do not recall.
00:12:26: Oh, yeah No, no
00:12:29: He's gonna summon ticks.
00:12:32: I am a summoner.
00:12:34: All right, here's my spell.
00:12:36: one million ticks
00:12:38: like it is some in box of ten million takes.
00:12:41: if you just seen that the People are people saying they're finding boxes full of ticks on their property.
00:12:48: That's a genuinely funny prank.
00:12:50: Yeah It yeah there's something awesome conspiracy
00:12:55: My god.
00:12:56: They carried all depending on the one they carry Lyme disease, but April
00:13:00: will see the lines.
00:13:01: Disease how long
00:13:02: would it take for a million ticks to kill you?
00:13:05: Probably not that long.
00:13:07: It's a lot
00:13:09: of time.
00:13:11: Has
00:13:12: anybody here actually ever seen a nest of tix?
00:13:14: yes
00:13:15: I have run through and asked I've run.
00:13:18: there is nests of tics.
00:13:19: did You torch them with?
00:13:21: I
00:13:22: I sprayed them with chemicals.
00:13:23: yeah Yeah That's very.
00:13:24: I ran through one as a child.
00:13:26: Yes,
00:13:27: it was horrifying.
00:13:28: I did the same thing.
00:13:29: It was oh no i was like because i looked down cuz i felt something else.
00:13:33: what the hell.
00:13:33: and then yeah there is Like six ticks that just like gripped onto my socks And we're trying to crawl in my house like know like oof like stopped on The side of the road Because like i was running on this either and i just took off My shoe up.
00:13:45: and Just you Know they didn't want a good.
00:13:48: the removal i mean but i'll just smack.
00:13:50: What'd u take him to the nearest data center?
00:13:53: This was before data centers like
00:13:55: that.
00:13:56: Oh
00:13:56: my god, this is
00:13:57: a good
00:13:57: time!
00:13:57: This one's ten years ago.
00:14:00: Well I'll say it before we get into it If you are out in the woods please use spray or whatever.
00:14:07: There's a method where you can wrap your pants and duct tape outside Sticky side-out so they stop the tick from crawling up your legs.
00:14:14: Please protect yourself.
00:14:15: Ticks there're lots of them this year.
00:14:17: They're very dangerous.
00:14:18: It's a serious problem.
00:14:20: It's why I collect them in boxes and put him on random people's properties.
00:14:25: We knew it.
00:14:27: just a joke.
00:14:27: never do that
00:14:29: mark.
00:14:29: are you doing?
00:14:30: what am i doing?
00:14:31: so
00:14:32: right now he is grabbed right Lucas.
00:14:35: yes let
00:14:37: see because the thing is uh but he's not looking pretty well.
00:14:43: um we'll say below half.
00:14:47: Rather not take too many more hits because I'm the biggest target here.
00:14:52: But going to an act together With one action for Luca.
00:14:56: He is going do swing on the serpent that it's okay him all right, because You're within range To do let's roll.
00:15:11: Okay, uh thirty eight did.
00:15:12: Thirty
00:15:14: eight as a hit
00:15:15: want to crit so bad but that's never gonna happen.
00:15:18: um All right, probably
00:15:20: now.
00:15:20: Oh god no not with these guys.
00:15:22: Hello damage.
00:15:23: nineteen points of damage.
00:15:24: Okay.
00:15:26: And for second action Well for Ambersus's action Luca is going to disappear as he is going To put him away.
00:15:40: Recall them.
00:15:41: So
00:15:42: he disappears.
00:15:44: Yep
00:15:45: He just simply disappears.
00:15:47: I am basically unmanifesting for the time being.
00:15:51: And
00:15:52: because
00:15:53: Ambrose is just constantly, he's invisible in the boat still
00:15:58: and
00:15:59: is bleeding profusely
00:16:02: Okay I have...I've moved him to the south.
00:16:05: so when you want too You can bring them into.
00:16:07: put it more right.
00:16:07: but okay isn't your whole turn to do all that?
00:16:12: Yeah
00:16:12: yeah It's unfortunately three actions to unmanifest.
00:16:17: Oh
00:16:20: I'm thinking, sorry.
00:16:22: Uh...I just thought of something that i could do.
00:16:24: Actually it might be a little bit more viable.
00:16:26: Ooh okay
00:16:28: Could I retract that?
00:16:30: Yeah yeah you wouldn't- I'll put him back here.
00:16:31: Yeah yeah yeah uh...retracted.
00:16:34: and basically what im going to is instead doing that Im gonna do the hen three actions And if I count one action Alright Lucas will swing again.
00:16:49: Okay so this would be your second attack on him.
00:16:50: Oh yes
00:16:51: Okay,
00:16:52: let's see.
00:16:53: Let us go with map plus eighteen to hit
00:16:59: at thirty
00:17:01: two
00:17:02: as a miss
00:17:03: fuck and
00:17:06: Swings again.
00:17:10: Damn that was a good roll sixteen but it's a twenty nine to hit.
00:17:12: nice
00:17:13: amiss.
00:17:15: And last action is that he's just going too.
00:17:21: What I would say?
00:17:21: what them within range?
00:17:23: Yes I would say within range, right?
00:17:28: Of Luca or the
00:17:29: without of Luca?
00:17:31: Yeah.
00:17:32: He's going to cast protect companion as Cantor.
00:17:35: Okay
00:17:35: cool.
00:17:35: so
00:17:37: all ready
00:17:37: yep
00:17:39: okay in that case it comes to Sandor turn.
00:17:43: Oh
00:17:43: i'm kind of torn here.
00:17:46: there are two things I can do.
00:17:48: yeah.
00:17:48: So then There's a lake serpent too.
00:17:51: It's one you guys have been beaten up on is Northwest and then there's one directly under you, but they are both attacking Luca.
00:18:03: I Okay we're gonna do.
00:18:09: We're going to this slightly safer option first.
00:18:12: so Sandor standing on the boat Do i want to attack?
00:18:19: The one that we've been hitting or the one that hasn't damaged yet?
00:18:21: What do you guys think?
00:18:21: One
00:18:22: of them has been hit.
00:18:23: okay You have to kill a lot of him.
00:18:27: Sandor raises his hands and begins speaking in an almost guttural, like... kind of sounds like snake-ish.
00:18:41: And a ten foot radius underneath one the serpent we've been beating up on, Sandor calls The Worm Spirit Of A Purple Worm.
00:18:53: What?
00:18:54: What?!
00:18:55: Cool!
00:18:56: Cool!
00:18:58: It
00:18:59: comes roaring out from the water.
00:19:00: The
00:19:01: listening in, Sandor is a worm-caller.
00:19:07: That's fucking crazy!
00:19:09: So make me a basic reflex save Jake.
00:19:12: Oh that was so perfect.
00:19:16: I had an idea for what i wanted to do and then jake was just like oh you want to play a high regard?
00:19:21: Is this subclass?
00:19:22: I'm instantly yes!
00:19:23: Instantly Yes!
00:19:24: So there's a thirty one total.
00:19:28: Okay...that is a failure.
00:19:30: Okay,
00:19:32: you take three d ten.
00:19:34: I don't think your I Don't think i can immobilize You.
00:19:38: um?
00:19:42: Your kind of huge right.
00:19:44: well he's got a game shooing.
00:19:46: So yeah it'll just be the damage.
00:19:48: but this is pretty solid
00:19:49: damage.
00:19:49: so yes What ability are you actually using?
00:19:53: call the worm spirit.
00:19:55: It's a feat its not spell.
00:19:58: Oh
00:20:03: I am kind of awesome kids.
00:20:05: Where's my?
00:20:07: Hold on, I'm bringing up the damage right now.
00:20:14: One two three.
00:20:19: I'm so sorry I wanted to.
00:20:23: I feel like first plus second my car and it's getting a little bit of purple worm.
00:20:27: PTSD.
00:20:29: Just fought that
00:20:30: thing.
00:20:31: one.
00:20:32: It's just like you summoned that to kill
00:20:34: us.
00:20:34: So that is going to be twenty nine points of bludgeoning damage.
00:20:42: holy shit
00:20:45: solid.
00:20:46: oh it's still alive isn't
00:20:47: it?
00:20:47: fuck yeah but the body water that surrounding is covered in blood more blood than water.
00:20:56: at this point
00:21:03: I will cast shield on myself.
00:21:07: Garen your turn
00:21:09: You know from last episode Garn shifted the eminence into The Horn of Plenty with the idea that we were gonna be.
00:21:16: I needed to do some quick healing because people are starting.
00:21:18: take some
00:21:19: hits.
00:21:20: But that worm is too close to dying for me not to seize this opportunity.
00:21:25: So i'm going to spend the action.
00:21:26: just shift Eminence and then From the boat, I shall Take another pillar of heaven and
00:21:32: topple
00:21:35: it Honestly almost like Garn Do a rain of fire like maneuver from
00:21:40: that movie.
00:21:44: Oh man, I was a sick movie.
00:21:46: What is it?
00:21:47: Was the Christian Bale that jumped like...
00:21:50: Uh..I think he was.
00:21:51: He just had naxies!
00:21:52: Like i'm not killed this dragon?
00:21:54: oh no.
00:21:57: Go ahead and roll me that reflex.
00:22:02: Reflex.
00:22:05: Twenty
00:22:05: three.
00:22:06: Oh that's a fail!
00:22:08: Oh my gosh And I got some...I have some chonky damage coming at you already, because i've already two eights on the die.
00:22:15: Sixteen twenty-two twenty six nine twenty seven thirty four points of damage!
00:22:30: So Luca sliced into this thing.
00:22:32: The purple worm spirit came up and latched onto side as it reached its head to scream in pain.
00:22:39: the pillar of heaven clocked him on his head.
00:22:41: and
00:22:42: then it falls into the water completely limp.
00:22:45: Yes!
00:22:46: Very nice, very nice...
00:22:49: And as his weapon is retracting because technically like topping the pillar of heaven its actually his weapon that kind of grows to some unimaginable size in the crashes.
00:22:59: so as it's like retracting you know Garn is just like biceps just like glistening from holding this giant pillar.
00:23:07: and Ambrose, cause you can see it.
00:23:10: You may be invisible but you could see
00:23:12: it
00:23:14: Seize
00:23:14: this and is speechless in gains of sick.
00:23:18: twenty-six hit points.
00:23:20: Oh!
00:23:21: Moist.
00:23:22: Okay.
00:23:24: Garn's involuntary horniness
00:23:28: My goodness I've
00:23:29: never heard
00:23:30: the loppiness on his muscles together.
00:23:33: The pillar
00:23:33: of heaven got me bricked up.
00:23:37: I didn't notice how much he glistened.
00:23:40: All right, after Garne it comes to Kezra.
00:23:44: Alright, Kezrah is currently seventy-five feet up and flying obviously!
00:23:54: I meant holding the boat... Right yeah so i'm gonna sustain this spell to raise the boat.
00:24:02: uh oh wait its already at forty feet?
00:24:06: Yeah Yep.
00:24:08: OK, then I think i'm fine with it being at forty feet.
00:24:11: so im just going to sustain it.
00:24:14: and
00:24:15: there's a serpent directly under the boat
00:24:17: correct?
00:24:18: Correct yeah So Im gonna
00:24:19: move...I
00:24:22: wanna move the bow just like..so theres better vantage point for the Sandor.
00:24:29: Okay!
00:24:29: So im just gonna move it like twenty feet To the side.
00:24:34: Ok so ill move the serpent.
00:24:35: twenty feet.
00:24:36: Yeah There we go OK.
00:24:40: Next, I will go and fly down and land on the boat right next
00:24:49: to Sandor.
00:24:50: actually
00:24:52: Alright
00:24:52: And last action...I'm
00:24:55: just gonna have put up
00:24:56: shield
00:24:57: i think.
00:24:59: Actually what knowledge would these things be?
00:25:08: Nature Not
00:25:08: trained in nature.
00:25:10: If you have Laura Chesapeake Bay, that also works.
00:25:13: I will allow it if you had the lore.
00:25:15: I have
00:25:15: Lore Dragons!
00:25:15: I don't
00:25:16: think
00:25:19: there were any dragons in The Lore of... Well i guess the Snally Gaster or the Jabberwoks are Maryland dragon things but
00:25:27: anyway.
00:25:27: The Snally Ghost?
00:25:29: Yeah.
00:25:30: Then yeah just uh..I'll use my shield.
00:25:33: Okay It comes to the Lick Serpent Strand that is still alive.
00:25:39: As the other one lays limp It looks and nudges the one that is now dead.
00:25:46: And then realizing what happened, it's going to look up at you, Sandor?
00:25:52: And he was going to spit at you with his water spout attack.
00:25:56: How dare you?
00:25:57: Hydro pump!
00:25:58: Uh...
00:26:01: Thirty-six
00:26:02: to hit.
00:26:02: That
00:26:03: hits.
00:26:05: He probably has a pretty significant cover but I'm guessing not enough to beat him.
00:26:09: thirty six Probably
00:26:10: not
00:26:11: No.
00:26:13: So it's going to be thirteen bludgeoning damage?
00:26:15: Ouch!
00:26:16: But then I need you make me a forty-two save...
00:26:20: Alright, forgot about this stinky thing.
00:26:24: Pretty sure i did just fine on that.
00:26:26: forty two saving.
00:26:27: Let me pull my sheet up.
00:26:28: Thirty six
00:26:32: Uh.
00:26:33: so yeah You are fine.
00:26:35: Um after that The lake servant seems to dive down the bottom.
00:26:45: I'm not going over that fucking thing
00:26:49: I mean, we killed one.
00:26:53: Yeah?
00:26:54: What did
00:26:54: us to report?
00:26:56: what happened is there's a lake serpent that poisoning the crabs.
00:27:00: they just gotta go send some people out and kill it.
00:27:02: They have a wizard who can blast a hole in the side of my mouth like more powerful than Xandor.
00:27:10: Xandors are freaking powerless so this other wizard guy could take care of this.
00:27:17: It comes to Ambrose's turn.
00:27:19: Alright All right, so the funny thing is it's like Ambrose was up there And after he got released from the grab because that weren't the creatures dead.
00:27:31: Yep
00:27:32: Um and Is the water likes super murky or is it I mean?
00:27:39: It's pretty.
00:27:40: it's pretty murky now because of all the blood and stuff.
00:27:43: but But if you How?
00:27:48: what's its sweet?
00:27:48: it has a swim speed of sixty.
00:27:50: So we went sixty feet
00:27:51: down.
00:27:53: So there's no way that Luca could even see it.
00:27:56: Probably
00:27:57: not, okay?
00:27:59: I would say Luca is going to act together or Lucas will take a two action to prepare an attack just in case if It gets close to come after him.
00:28:10: he's getting too.
00:28:10: swing out.
00:28:12: Same thing Ambrose is gonna cast.
00:28:14: protect companion.
00:28:16: Okay Sandor comes your turn.
00:28:21: i mean What are we doing here?
00:28:27: I'm certainly not going to have.
00:28:28: this board
00:28:29: has a pretty long range, right
00:28:33: Does but i don't think it goes through water.
00:28:37: Why not electricity?
00:28:38: wouldn't it zap the whole?
00:28:40: You would try
00:28:42: every right.
00:28:42: Every crab all
00:28:44: the crabs get cooked.
00:28:45: you're like well
00:28:47: I mean days.
00:28:49: if uh If I need two I'll eat them.
00:28:54: I mean,
00:28:55: we are only forty feet up at sixty feet down and you have a hundred twenty foot range.
00:29:00: Worth the shot!
00:29:02: What else were going to use that lightning pole for today?
00:29:06: Well say when i looked under water combat rules it actually said zero about electricity only specifically called on
00:29:11: fire spells.
00:29:12: For fire.
00:29:13: yeah fire spells do not work.
00:29:15: Yeah It is quite curious.
00:29:18: they didn't say anything about electricity or like even colds or acid.
00:29:22: Well, hold on.
00:29:23: They said acid is less effective?
00:29:25: Yeah exactly because the water dilutes it.
00:29:29: so... Sandor fires a lightning bolt into the water!
00:29:33: Okay So I need to make a reflex save under the wada.
00:29:39: Uh, thirty three
00:29:43: That's a success.
00:29:44: Okay
00:29:46: Um..I need to double check how much.
00:29:49: okay.
00:29:52: forty twelve Oh just fourty.
00:29:53: twelfth
00:29:53: yeah that almost nothing.
00:30:04: Using my app here.
00:30:07: This is the time for digital dice rolls.
00:30:09: Yep, thirty
00:30:10: points of damage so fifteen.
00:30:12: Okay that was a good roll
00:30:15: Was actually very good roll.
00:30:16: Yeah okay after that
00:30:22: and I gas shielded myself again
00:30:25: because all right fuck not Garn is your turn.
00:30:28: Oh, I don't think i'm hasted am
00:30:31: I?
00:30:31: No you're blurred.
00:30:33: That's right.
00:30:37: I almost have
00:30:39: the
00:30:41: Wait.
00:30:42: wait
00:30:46: Kezra throw
00:30:47: me off our board!
00:30:48: I still had the rope tied
00:30:49: around me.
00:30:51: Okay
00:30:52: okay
00:30:52: all right it can be complete.
00:30:54: oh my god.
00:30:55: So your gonna delay?
00:30:57: I'm going to delay.
00:30:58: beautiful I was hoping that
00:30:59: you would.
00:31:00: uh
00:31:04: kezra I sustain the boat and cast haste on you.
00:31:10: So, I cast hastes when just like push.
00:31:13: so
00:31:14: your turn!
00:31:15: Alright
00:31:16: what action?
00:31:16: I jump from the boat.
00:31:19: Okay.
00:31:22: And
00:31:23: as i am hitting water...I'm leading with the boarding star
00:31:29: And
00:31:30: I use my first, uh... My second action to shift Eminence back into the Morning Star.
00:31:35: Then i'm gonna topple The Frickin' Pillar of Heaven because I have just enough range!
00:31:40: Ha ha ha!
00:31:41: It's
00:31:43: so
00:31:43: dumb.
00:31:49: How quickly does a pillar topple through Water Tim?
00:31:52: There is nothing in the combat rules about how quickly we're slowly... So im going say instantaneous.
00:31:57: How fast
00:31:58: does the morning star
00:31:58: sink?!
00:32:03: It is the actual actual morning star and it does it very quickly.
00:32:06: I was gonna say yeah, Moore's law specifically stated that if you topple a pillar.
00:32:10: That was the dumbest argument we've ever had And they
00:32:13: kept going!
00:32:15: And your still talking about this.
00:32:16: You must have enjoyed multiple
00:32:17: episodes All right what.
00:32:22: so is it a reflex saved by me?
00:32:23: Yep
00:32:24: thirty seven
00:32:28: Okay, so that's a regular success.
00:32:30: You take half damage.
00:32:36: It...
00:32:37: Oh okay That sounds good.
00:32:39: I
00:32:39: thought it was
00:32:40: So.
00:32:40: fifteen points of Legendary Damage
00:32:44: Another fifteen Alright And i'm just
00:32:50: bobbing on the surface.
00:32:54: It comes to Lake Serpent's turn.
00:32:59: Nothing happens.
00:33:00: It gets pretty quiet.
00:33:03: Okay Seems that the likes of that.
00:33:06: The other lakes are.
00:33:07: print has made its exit.
00:33:13: Kezra lowest lowers the boat back down to the water
00:33:17: and crushes.
00:33:17: Garn kills
00:33:20: him.
00:33:23: I
00:33:26: forgot
00:33:26: he was down there.
00:33:27: whoops
00:33:29: But you don't untie it when you come back to shore or did you just drag in?
00:33:32: We're
00:33:34: pulling the boat onto.
00:33:35: this short is dragging them.
00:33:37: There was one casualty.
00:33:39: He's hitting all the rocks, he gets you full up.
00:33:42: You'll think they're joking but I have my character already ready.
00:33:48: He is waiting for y'all on the shore.
00:33:51: So you guys had defeated One Serpent and The other one has left.
00:33:59: so i went to you guys To discuss what you found down there because I don't know if Kezra Was around when you Guys were talking about the discovery you made.
00:34:10: Yeah, it was what?
00:34:13: Poisoned fish eggs or crab eggs I guess?
00:34:16: Crab eggs yeah there were some sort of a chemical substance that was like lingering in water and
00:34:22: we did my crafting check to determine if not natural substance.
00:34:28: Right, yeah.
00:34:29: Yeah that's why I say alchemical.
00:34:31: it wasn't some sort of natural poison or anything like that could have been introduced by the serpent.
00:34:35: We don't believe it was okay.
00:34:36: so no not buy the serpents.
00:34:37: well
00:34:38: you said not but the servants correct.
00:34:41: oh
00:34:42: That's what i said.
00:34:42: alchemical yeah.
00:34:43: uh
00:34:46: Kezra kezra
00:34:48: who
00:34:48: did you bring any of it up?
00:34:53: Well, at the time I was kind of busy not dying but i can go down and get some more.
00:34:57: No
00:34:57: no no, Garn got some remember?
00:35:00: Yep.
00:35:00: Hey
00:35:00: he was eating one!
00:35:01: He was like what
00:35:02: the... Kezra wants to be crafting.
00:35:08: Oh nice.
00:35:10: Um thirty-four oh no no no thirty six because im a master in crafting that.
00:35:16: bonuses plus two.
00:35:17: now all out bonus is plus two keeps
00:35:19: going up
00:35:19: so keeps going.
00:35:24: You're able to, you know look at it in the light and when we smell or whatever like Whatever you would do to identify It.
00:35:32: Uh...you can confirm that same thing.
00:35:34: Um..it doesn't say what is in a book But its very clear just from the aspects of as you look at this This clearly some sort of alchemical concoction.
00:35:46: There's no natural remedy or anything Like That Would Make
00:35:49: This.
00:35:54: Is there any way to clean it up or are we just gonna report
00:35:56: back?
00:35:59: They just said they just had to report.
00:36:00: It mm-hmm Because like a like hammer song hit set, they were worried that like if the crowd population goes down That's going to be like a huge head till their food stores.
00:36:13: But I think we know our.
00:36:15: they would figured out what's going wrong.
00:36:17: Let's get outta here before that thing comes back.
00:36:21: Yes and i think that sound logic.
00:36:23: yes please not quite a fisherman.
00:36:27: And he recalls Luca because Luca is still, I mean we're hurting like He becomes visible again.
00:36:34: Because invisibility worse out in there's like gashes all over him.
00:36:40: You just appear.
00:36:41: yes So I was waiting for time.
00:36:47: I've been here the whole time
00:36:51: Oh yeah so we'd go back.
00:36:53: Okay Did you guys do a nature check on the lake surface?
00:37:01: I did not have
00:37:02: nature.
00:37:02: I don't have a tree there,
00:37:05: but that just be Sandor them?
00:37:07: Yeah, and I can do that
00:37:08: or it could do on trained.
00:37:09: I mean due to my ability now, you
00:37:12: can recall knowledge on train.
00:37:18: That is going out.
00:37:19: damn thirty seven.
00:37:20: Damn yeah easily success here.
00:37:26: one thing that you recognize.
00:37:27: because he lived here for so long You would know that these things sort of hang around the crabs.
00:37:33: Uh, and you know that it's sort of an ecosystem right?
00:37:37: But the fact that these things willingly attacked you means something is disrupting The Ecosystem here.
00:37:43: Um... Which means if Something happened around Here uh You guys said talked about Sabature.
00:37:51: It sounds like when you think About These Things in the Fact That They Attacked You they Usually Wouldn't Do That.
00:37:57: So what you're saying Is You Just needlessly Destroyed an Apex Spreader
00:38:00: Probably a
00:38:02: Very very terrible thing we did for the local ecosystem.
00:38:07: No, I mean otherwise.
00:38:08: We died.
00:38:09: so
00:38:11: I shouldn't have attacked us.
00:38:13: Now that you know that Kezra has his floaty boat move we can get away from any
00:38:17: creature unless they had wings.
00:38:20: Floody make both face
00:38:22: yep.
00:38:23: So it looks like things are people who've been sabotaging and this doesn't bode well
00:38:32: Oh, it does not boat well at all.
00:38:39: Bambro's got
00:38:40: it!
00:38:40: I just wasn't gonna laugh had it.
00:38:47: Please don't do that.
00:38:52: Well i say we take these eggs back to the council.
00:38:57: Where?
00:38:59: We have...I dont think we're taking the eggs or are you just taking?
00:39:01: Did we take eggs too?
00:39:02: No,
00:39:03: the sample.
00:39:03: I imagine there were some eggs in this sample.
00:39:06: Oh right.
00:39:09: Yeah, so just taking the poison sample of eggs.
00:39:11: yeah Okay you Take them back to.
00:39:17: You get back to The dock and There's a guard there who is waiting for you guys to report it Back To Amazon.
00:39:28: So he sees you all need comes up And He looks at the boat has like a chunk missing out of it.
00:39:33: And he's just, oh I pray that you all made it up to find him and look at each other if we have wounds.
00:39:41: The echoing of the serpent slashing about the lake?
00:39:46: It looks how the lake turns into darkness after certain points.
00:39:51: so no!
00:39:54: There were fireballs in a lighting bolt or something...
00:39:59: Oh the lightning bolt was weird i did hear.
00:40:02: Honestly, if you have any healing I would happily take some.
00:40:07: Yes yes!
00:40:08: If you want we can take it to the infirmary while your friends report a hammer song.
00:40:15: I don't know... I won't trust them now.
00:40:17: Show

00:40:34: he's sick.
00:40:36: Yeah, that's right.
00:40:36: It is I just have to ten minutes To get a focus bell back and stuff.
00:40:42: I burned pretty much all my focus bells I think.
00:40:47: sure it's more than a ten-minute boat ride
00:40:49: back.
00:40:49: for sure
00:40:50: We
00:40:51: were back extra slow
00:40:52: alright?
00:40:54: I said Luca take a break.
00:40:57: Let me try now know my strength of ten.
00:41:00: ow

00:41:02: hurts.
00:41:03: Yeah,

00:41:07: Okay So we knew when you guys get back the guard The escorts you guys back to Hammersong.
00:41:15: The Hammer song eventually does.
00:41:17: it sits down with you guys and goes uh pray I pray that y'all trip out onto Lake was a fruitful one.
00:41:25: In wise she
00:41:26: could have used her large report.
00:41:29: We do not have ships here.
00:41:31: That's right.
00:41:34: Well, we got swarmed by two gigantic sea serpents Like serpents, whatever.
00:41:40: Oh We have not seen those for many years.
00:41:46: Well legendary a cryptid one might say.
00:41:50: I got this blurry photograph.
00:41:54: I've a blurry drawing before I Couldn't.
00:41:59: I couldn't sketch it fast enough
00:42:11: But as it turns out you've got some saboteurs Poisoning the crab eggs.
00:42:19: I see this is not.
00:42:24: This does, not what i want to hear but The truth Is What needs To be said.

00:42:50: But I will contact in the morning.
00:42:53: We believe we might've made a break In this case.
00:42:57: And what of the access to the barracks?
00:43:00: That was part Of that deal.
00:43:02: It WAS it was.
00:43:03: So yes This one Will take You To The Barracks Any Points At The Guard That Walked Through Here.
00:43:10: And He Says Let Them Have A Look Around Or Trust Them Make Sure They're The fitted with whatever they need within reason.
00:43:19: And he just sort of nods, you know?
00:43:22: Wait for you guys.
00:43:25: Well, Sandor is filling out the paperwork because he loves that shit.
00:43:29: I
00:43:31: was about to say Ambrose could do like exact same thing too.
00:43:33: He's just like
00:43:36: oh.
00:43:37: Kezer wouldn't have filled it out if he was only one here.
00:43:42: Yeah sir let me get to.
00:43:42: that Just puts on a trash.
00:43:45: Oh yeah sure
00:43:45: Sure
00:43:48: Garn would have filled it out wrong.
00:43:51: I actually can use legal war, so...I could actually do this correctly!
00:43:57: Oh shit you
00:43:57: guys got a
00:43:58: lawyer with
00:44:01: me?
00:44:01: Garn
00:44:01: signs his name with an X.
00:44:05: The top of the form just says So You were attacked by a lake serpent.
00:44:10: Fill on all your injuries
00:44:15: On the drawing, tell us where the sea serpent attacked him.
00:44:21: So the guard... One you see Hammer Song walk out of the room.
00:44:26: he goes into a part of The Barracks and then as you guys are walking to the Armory Where?
00:44:32: He wanted you like one get an item for yourselves And I'll see said do want to check some stuff.
00:44:38: When You See Him Walk Out With Like A Regiment Of Men It looks like he is going to do something pretty intense.
00:44:47: Well, that's all I thought about.
00:44:49: once
00:44:49: said you had a make arrest lot of men for one person
00:44:53: the guard the guard here talking too.
00:44:55: it was just like yeah he it might turn bad
00:45:01: garden flash as a smile and tried to diploma size black oak workshop dice or treasure black oak worship dice or treasurer.
00:45:09: so everybody bye
00:45:11: And I got a twenty-seven to be like, they said no you can trust us.
00:45:19: Yes things between the different guilds can get a little hairy sometimes.
00:45:27: Tell me there's some sort of guild war brewing?
00:45:32: I probably said too much.
00:45:33: so the Armory.
00:45:34: and then he walks through the barracks at the armory.
00:45:39: Did we know that there
00:45:41: were different
00:45:42: guilds?
00:45:44: Each
00:45:46: council member is a different guild.
00:45:50: I don't think i picked up on
00:45:51: it.
00:45:52: Yeah, yeah There was like the stone masonry guild.
00:45:55: He's he's The Arms Guild.
00:45:58: Something like that.
00:45:58: Mercantile is what We Were dealing with before for God.
00:46:01: Is
00:46:02: That Right?
00:46:05: Null Revan is the Guild of Magic or whatever it was called, yeah.
00:46:10: So they walk you through The Barracks to the Armory and then... It opens up in just a bunch of axes, hammers swords all of the full plates and breastplates are dwarven fitted which means that would only fit two of them.
00:46:27: Well
00:46:27: debatable for me.
00:46:29: I thought
00:46:30: there's gonna be a sleight there against Sandor.
00:46:39: You'll need someone to bang out some extra lumps.
00:46:43: But yeah, so you guys can have your pick of a eleventh level consumable for one.
00:46:51: Okay.
00:46:53: So if he want take sometime do that.
00:46:55: You may do that.
00:46:59: But yeah, the Guild of Arms provisions is where you'll get that.
00:47:03: but then like I said it's just like rows and rows and rowes of breastplates axes hammers helmets.
00:47:10: a lot of useful stuff for me.
00:47:13: All right
00:47:16: You said eleven level consumable?
00:47:19: Yep
00:47:19: Just got common item.
00:47:23: Yeah mean if you want to go uncommon we can talk about it.
00:47:31: Eleven is like right smack dab in the middle of the charts.
00:47:41: Get some really nice burial oil.
00:47:44: hell yeah
00:47:45: when one of us dies
00:47:47: Yeah, let's just look this up on
00:47:48: our own.
00:47:50: I'm definitely not gonna read this line by line.
00:47:53: i totally wasn't about to do that.
00:47:58: So you see the rows and rows of armors and axes.
00:48:03: Ah,
00:48:04: you said anything huh?
00:48:05: And Garn just goes over and picks up some weird looking thing and sticks it in his pocket.
00:48:14: Picks up a-picks up the thing.
00:48:15: yeah I'll pick up a thing too.
00:48:16: I'll
00:48:16: Pick Up A Thing Too!
00:48:19: Sandor uh...I guess she helped us out.
00:48:21: i suppose You can take one to.
00:48:24: I wanted talk to you guys about that.
00:48:27: um probably noticed have been following around a bit.
00:48:30: Well, we thought it was out of boredom that wizards seemed pretty preoccupied with those rocks.
00:48:36: I mean there's rocks for very interesting but
00:48:38: um...I
00:48:40: have a no real point in hiding and i've been spying on you.
00:48:45: You're an awful spy.
00:48:47: then if you tell us Yeah
00:48:48: ya know It is pretty obvious at this point But I couldn't help but notice One year I honestly don't remember who's Kezra
00:48:58: or
00:49:01: the other guy.
00:49:02: Yeah, we mentioned something the Scarlet Trian.
00:49:07: What is that?
00:49:11: They're a slaving organization from The Surface
00:49:16: and We've
00:49:16: been tracking them.
00:49:18: Yes they've before in my house And there's quite a number.
00:49:23: on family I'm simply out for revenge.
00:49:28: if anything else
00:49:29: i was one of their
00:49:31: captives
00:49:33: separated me From My Family.
00:49:36: I have been getting very bored working for the Archmage.
00:49:42: And I've always been a bit more of a practical learner, don't get me wrong books have their place
00:49:49: but
00:49:50: i've been needing to stretch my legs for awhile wondering if you guys wanted a wizard to tag along
00:49:56: with?
00:49:59: A prowesson battle is unmistakably useful
00:50:03: and
00:50:07: incredibly valued.
00:50:09: however This quest that we are on is
00:50:14: not
00:50:15: for the faint of heart, nor just someone seeking thrills.
00:50:20: I um...I have learned Kezra can speak to this more intimately That if you spend enough time trying go after the Scarlet Triad To make cost your life
00:50:34: They're taken two-of our own.
00:50:37: We know they employ a lich Which thought we had killed but we did not
00:50:43: Lich?
00:50:44: Hmm, interesting.
00:50:47: Well fortunately for you all I'd need very little persuasion to put some slavers in the ground.
00:50:58: Good!
00:50:58: But like that attitude...
00:51:00: I believe we'll cut them?
00:51:03: I'm a wizard of war and might need to stretch my legs.
00:51:08: I was a cleric before..I think we should get along
00:51:12: well.
00:51:14: Please he
00:51:15: answer- I'll let The Archmage know i will be going on a sabbatical.
00:51:23: Hold up field studies.
00:51:27: Yeah You really just have to tell him like hey, I'm going on an expedition for
00:51:30: study
00:51:31: research
00:51:33: Study how easy it is to kill slavers.
00:51:38: Fair enough
00:51:51: Starts walking forget so you can teleport.
00:51:57: Now you do actually have to tell me, what was that creature that you summoned?
00:52:01: It was a worm similar to the one of The One That Was Killed in the Cave.
00:52:07: Yes I Have an affinity for the creatures...I can call the spirit Of One and i Can Call Its Younglings
00:52:20: Quite, quite amazing.
00:52:23: That's actually something up his wheelhouse summoning
00:52:27: like that
00:52:29: and I'm working on something else.
00:52:31: it It's gonna take me a long time but we're Working towards something a
00:52:37: little bigger.
00:52:42: Well as long as your abilities can help perhaps keep them away i think that is its great value in and of itself.
00:52:51: Let me ask you one question.
00:52:53: only man.
00:52:55: Yes, what do
00:52:56: you think is more important?
00:52:58: Justice or forgiveness.
00:53:03: If
00:53:07: he were to ask me as a young man I would probably say justice and the descendant of those who fought The clan wars at the Dwarves of ages
00:53:22: past
00:53:25: family A seemingly only known war in violence.
00:53:32: if you had asked me now i Think that answer depends on if my family is still alive.
00:53:44: What about you, Dragonblood?
00:53:48: That was the question I wasn't
00:53:49: listening to!
00:53:52: What's more important- forgiveness or justice?
00:53:57: Well...I'm not big on either
00:53:59: but right now
00:54:00: i am seeking my own justice.
00:54:03: so I'll go justice.
00:54:06: And you ViCount.
00:54:11: You know back when I was a child that probably would have said forgiveness out of the sake.
00:54:18: most frivolous Higher class functions, you know.
00:54:22: But I will supersede that and say vengeance
00:54:27: instead...
00:54:29: ...I know it's not out of your two points there but a lot was taken from me And i need to exact an interest rate on whoever did this.
00:54:43: Well, I needed to know the kind people would be traveling with.. ..and think I've gotten enough information.
00:54:50: How about yourself?
00:54:51: Can I ask this question and not answer it yourself?
00:54:55: Boom.
00:54:55: It's painfully situational, And i'm still trying to figure out myself.
00:55:03: What have you chosen
00:55:03: in the past?
00:55:04: The hot blood would always go for justice.
00:55:12: I find forgiveness is less of a offered boon... ...I think they say leave that to their gods.. I've never been good at forgiving.
00:55:30: No one has gore them!
00:55:36: And thats until late.
00:55:40: That's who I was, a war priest of.
00:55:44: They will tell you as long as they have known me... ...they haven't know any single divine magic to come from these hands but when i tell you that I did wield the hot blood of justice in my veins and still wield it now just if
00:56:01: it seems.
00:56:04: Tell Me Have You Ever Heard
00:56:07: Of
00:56:08: The Death Of A God?
00:56:12: I don't work with gods.
00:56:14: I
00:56:14: work with magic that mortals can get their hands around.
00:56:18: And i don't think a god could die, but i may be
00:56:22: wrong.".
00:56:24: I'm still trying to figure out if what I saw was reality or fiction... ...I saw Gorham Die driven through and killed His divine blood spilling scattering across the sky.
00:56:45: There's demonic
00:56:45: war all around me there on those shores.
00:56:51: some of it fell upon me.
00:56:54: And you can see that as he's like thinking about this, like Garn... He takes a look at him and starts to be in pain a little bit.
00:57:05: And he kind-of blinks then looks around.. ..and is like, aren't we supposed to make questionings for people with barracks?
00:57:20: What are we doing here
00:57:20: again?!
00:57:24: You were blabbering on about a dead, about Gorham being dead.
00:57:28: Gorham dead!
00:57:29: Gormim's not dead.
00:57:31: Is his life just as you and I are?
00:57:34: He lives in our hearts, In the song of
00:57:36: battle
00:57:37: And the clash of steel against sword and shield.
00:57:42: What're going on about Kessra?
00:57:45: Right...
00:57:47: Oh!
00:57:48: If my resume needed any more padding Good for y'all to know that.
00:57:52: uh..I've killed slavers before There'll
00:58:00: be plenty of play-ass slavers to kill all the way.
00:58:02: Good
00:58:03: But yeah, maybe we should move on Like like all crazy here said.
00:58:10: All right So you guys are looking around the barracks.
00:58:17: You got whatever.
00:58:18: those four items or that?
00:58:19: We will talk about next time.
00:58:20: I just
00:58:20: love it.
00:58:21: They're just random garter's here in this super intense conversation.
00:58:25: Just keeps walking back like
00:58:27: alright.
00:58:27: I'm not paying enough for this shit.
00:58:31: If each times then he's just like I was thinking world peace is that there's not an option?
00:58:36: Never who's never an option?
00:58:39: Tell me, tell me Greenling how old are you again?
00:58:41: True problems always.
00:58:47: I love how like darn worship is a god of
00:58:49: war.
00:58:50: World peace!
00:58:51: No not quite.
00:58:53: No,
00:58:53: no peace through war.
00:58:55: okay
00:58:57: Think about
00:58:57: if we kill all the other gods
00:58:58: We
00:59:02: decide who's peace.
00:59:04: Exactly yeah Okay.
00:59:07: so Um, you guys that like is it?
00:59:09: You guys are looking around on the barracks.
00:59:11: There's there some soldiers and they're just kind of like shooting this shit in Like The Break Room And so he does walk into.
00:59:18: They all kinda turn towards you because you know your not in uniform but you're armored up But Your Not In Uniform.
00:59:23: You Know
00:59:23: At ease
00:59:28: You're Not Hammer Song.
00:59:29: Well He Got Me On That One.
00:59:31: Nobody Is A Lawyer.
00:59:33: No I'm a lawyer
00:59:34: and there was Violations.
00:59:36: I'm
00:59:36: Fucking Hate Lawyers.
00:59:37: Wait,
00:59:40: who are we questioning
00:59:47: again?
00:59:47: We're trying to gather intel and see if there's any Scarlet Triad snakes in this tall grass.
00:59:54: I have a feeling they might... If the Scarlet triad is in this city like.. They've already infiltrated.
01:00:01: so that means it has to be members of the triad on every guild.
01:00:08: you know perhaps those ones who are stoking the feuds that are threatened to tear this place apart.
01:00:15: Makes sense, be honest I mean it's a destroyed society.
01:00:24: Are they like playing any game?
01:00:27: They're just hanging out and talking?
01:00:29: Yes some of them were playing dice games other ones.
01:00:36: There's one of them that is playing a hurdy-gurdy and another guy singing along.
01:00:40: But yeah, so it clearly has break time for these guys.
01:00:47: That's some proper music right there!
01:00:50: I love good hurdy gurdy.
01:00:52: I wish i could get on two goddamn expensive.
01:00:56: They're also horrible to maintain like really?
01:01:00: Yeah they are so many moving parts.
01:01:05: They make
01:01:05: kits.
01:01:06: But they're still expensive.
01:01:08: The kids, the kits that are not like
01:01:10: real
01:01:11: high quality instrument stuff you know?
01:01:12: No but it's affordable.
01:01:15: otherwise your paying a couple grand for...
01:01:17: Oh yeah thats'.
01:01:18: the problem with niche instruments is either get super cheap ones and suck or have to be handmade by a blue deer.
01:01:27: So yeah, like I said a bunch of dwarf cars just hanging out playing some music and playing some card games drinking ale.
01:01:32: And they
01:01:32: heard you guys roar?
01:01:37: Well uh
01:01:38: how do you do...I am the cousin of council member Stoneborn.
01:01:46: You hear some groans then other people go.
01:01:48: oh Stoneborn!
01:01:50: Stoneborn son!
01:01:51: These are my patrons.
01:01:53: so i'm sure y'all know Sandor
01:01:57: They all kinda look at you with some disdain, some hesitancy to trust you obviously.
01:02:05: Well we're just touring the barracks.
01:02:10: Hammer Song wanted us see the full might of this great city showing off as it were.
01:02:17: It's good to have a display of strength every now and again.
01:02:21: Keepers are lowly adventurers in our place but tell me if I get my dice going there.
01:02:30: I don't know.
01:02:31: if you can tell, I've had my fair share
01:02:34: of
01:02:36: wartime games in between battles.
01:02:39: Mind if i join for a few rounds?
01:02:43: Sure!
01:02:44: They pull up a chair for ya... Then they throw used some chips which is pretty much what were using instead like actual money.
01:02:53: Oh
01:02:54: they weren't using actual money.
01:02:56: No no well the actual gambling in The Barracks was extremely illegal.
01:03:01: So
01:03:02: oh
01:03:03: well, I know.
01:03:04: Yeah,
01:03:04: I
01:03:06: guess these guys are a bunch of squares
01:03:10: and we're song would beat the shit.
